Kent's Courtney Vandersloot has modeled her game after Storm's Sue Bird
Former Kentwood High School and Gonzaga star Courtney Vandersloot is learning the game as a rookie with the Chicago Sky. Tuesday, she'll face the Storm and Sue Bird, a player she has admired.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Storm @ Chicago, 4 p.m., ESPN2
DEERFIELD, Ill. — For nearly a decade, fans thought there was only one Sue Bird.
Now, even Bird admits she has been duplicated on the basketball court.
Kent's Courtney Vandersloot has taken her game to the WNBA and has drawn comparisons to the Storm's seven-time All-Star while helping the Chicago Sky (7-8) wiggle its way into the playoff picture. Vandersloot, the third pick in April's draft after playing at Gonzaga, will face Bird and the Storm at 4 p.m. Tuesday in a game televised by ESPN2.
"There's going to be a lot of comparisons because she can pass and shoot," said Bird, whose 7-6 Storm is trying to stop a two-game skid. "And it's true. She's legit."
Bird first met Vandersloot at a USA Basketball training camp in May. Vandersloot had become the first college player — man or woman — to score more than 2,000 points and have more than 1,000 assists.
Vandersloot was a sponge at the three-day session, watching and listening to everything Bird said or did.
"Sue is way beyond anything I am right now," said Vandersloot, seventh in the league among active players in assists (4.6). Bird is fourth (5.2). "I've looked up to her since I was younger and I'm going to keep trying to learn from her. I've watched clips and every time (with USA Basketball) that I had a question, I'd go to Sue."
Vandersloot was thrust into the Sky's starting lineup when 13-year veteran Dominique Canty underwent arthroscopic surgery on her left knee in June. Canty is expected to return, but Vandersloot has averaged 26.8 minutes while quickly learning the pro game.
Her coach, Pokey Chatman, was a point guard at Louisiana State and coached Bird for Spartak Moscow, a EuroLeague Women's team.
"The difference with Courtney is that Sue has been fortunate to have a cast around her that could carry her, and she could carry them," Chatman said. "With 'Sloot, that's not established, yet, and she's also a rookie. But I think their games are similar.
"Sue, she's Rain Man. She remembers every play, every player, every action for the last four years. If Courtney can get close to that, she'll be sensational."
Vandersloot already has pieces of a solid team surrounding her in Chicago. She playfully calls the backcourt "Salt-n-Pepper," lining up with sharpshooter Epiphanny Prince, who can also handle the ball.
Inside is All-Star Sylvia Fowles, a 6-foot-6 post player who blocked a career-high eight shots Saturday in a loss to Atlanta and is the league's leading scorer (20.4).
"I'm happy she's my point guard," Fowles said of Vandersloot. "She can get the ball through three people and I'm like, 'Uh, OK, make a move!' I tend to get happy feet. Her court vision is great."
Vandersloot is humbled by anyone praising her vision, however. She's amazed at the speed of the WNBA.
"I didn't realize it was so different here," she said. "What would be open in college isn't because of the other players' level of skill and understanding of the game. It's not that everyone is athletic. It's they're athletic and they understand it, and they're talented. If I can let loose and play, then that's better. But it's tough to let loose because it doesn't come natural."
The humility and her soft smile is a sign Vandersloot remains that small-town baller.
She played hoops with the neighborhood boys, underestimated because of her frame until she whizzed by for a layin or zipped a no-look pass.
Another difference? At Gonzaga, everything she needed was five minutes away. Not so anymore.
"I was driving 45 minutes trying to find a Target and was like, 'This is absurd!' " said Vandersloot, who lives in suburban Chicago. "It's different because I've never really been that far from home. But I like the big city and the weather out here.
"I'm starting to settle down and feel like this is home. It's still a whirlwind that I'm actually here and it's so much faster and there are so many games in a week. I'm trying to adjust to that. But I have a lot of support.
"There's probably only been a week or two that I haven't had somebody out here with me because they want to come see."
See the WNBA's next special point guard emerge.

When Congress and President Obama adopted the second stimulus last February, the estimated $787 billion price tag raised eyebrows. But the actual cost is coming in above the original estimates. In new budget projections released this morning, the Congressional Budget Office made a $75 billion upward revision to the estimated cost of the stimulus and now pegs the cost at $862 billion. The agency explains that the stimulus package's increases in unemployment compensation and food stamps have been more costly than expected and that state and local governments have issued unexpectedly large volumes of the new Build America Bonds authorized by the package.

How normal is it for new trees to forgo dormancy and get frost burned in the process? I planted a hardy kiwi, pomegranate, saijo persimmon and a fig this spring and all were growing well until a frost about a weak ago wiped them out. All of the other trees in my yard were/are turning color and dropping leaves but these guys got fried. How typical is this and are they goners? |

Very typical, and not just for new trees. Anything still showing rapid growth in September in my area (and likely yours) can experience this. Plus all the plants you mentioned except for the hardy kiwi, originate in warmer climates with longer growing seasons and thus more susceptible to these early frosts. In terms of survival, foliage burn is pretty minor, but if it got cold enough (say down into the teens) it might have damaged the wood as well. All the plants you mentioned will probably die back to the ground in your zone without protection anyway, at least when young... Hardy kiwi is very sensitive to late spring frosts, and has not been very successful for me in my likely similar climate. |

Technology Showcase: Outdoor Loudspeakers
Mar 1, 2009 12:00 PM, By Kent Morris
Weather-resistant and weatherproof options to withstand the elements.
The Sound Advance FastMount series focuses, as its name implies, on ease of installation. The bracket simply snaps and locks into place, and removal is via a hidden release tab. The FMS line consists of three models with either a 5.25in., 6.50in., or 8in. polypropylene woofer mated to a 1in. polyurethane dome tweeter.
A mushroom-shaped loudspeaker with a 360-degree dispersion cone mounted in a ground-based housing is synonymous with the Soundtube name. The company's XT550 can be found in hundreds of theme parks, resort facilities, and hotels. The company's XT sequel, the XT850, is proving to be as good as the original. Soundtube's new surface-mount model, the SM500i, scores high marks for its patented BroadBeam dispersion technology, SpeedLever captured-ball mounting system, and speed-tap power-setting design. Robust construction is secured through the use of a powder-coated grille and a terminal weather boot.
Related Links | ||||||
Rock loudspeakers often mount the transformer in a recessed area, forcing the installer into a contorted state to adjust the tap level. The Speco Technologies SP-RK65CB/T features an easily accessed transformer wattage dial and 70V/25V selector switch to aid installation time. Add in simple ground-securing loops and excellent weatherproofing techniques, and the SP-RK65CB/T shows itself worthy of consideration on any outdoor job.
The Tannoy Di Series takes advantage of the company's point-source ICT drive unit to eliminate the crossover and improve clarity. A mineral-loaded polypropylene cone with nitrile rubber surround is built to withstand harsh environs while the 90-degree conical dispersion pattern makes any orientation possible.
The military depends on Technomad loudspeakers, so their Mil-Spec rating is a given. The MP series feature one-piece color-through, self-draining molded cabinets, robust ceramic tweeters, and multiple threaded inserts for installation at any required angle. For direct-weather sites, the IP56-rated MP loudspeakers are a safe bet for long-term survivability.
For a modern approach to weatherproof commercial loudspeaker design, TOA Electronics offers the H-2WP. In place of a standard cube, the H-2WP delivers a stylish form with the added benefit of reduced soundwave reflections. The H-2WP mounts to a standard electrical box, and it can be rotated and aimed without altering the enclosure's external appearance. For convenience, the loudspeaker also mates to TOA's 900 series mixer/amplifiers.
Yorkville's C120 represents the weather-resistant part of the Canadian manufacturer's Coliseum Mini series. With specially treated drivers housed in a molded ABS plastic cabinet, the C120 delivers versatility in a rugged package. The tweeter can be swiveled, and a U-bracket is included for mounting ease. A three-tap 70V version, the C120/70, is also available.

I made a comment the other day about shopping at farmers markets and helping support the local economy. A person stopped me to complain about "Hucksters," my word, not hers, and how you cannot be sure you are getting locally grown food. Making sure not to offend the person I carefully explained that yes, there are some unscrupulous characters at farmers markets, but by asking a few questions and arming yourself with basic information, you could ferret out the poser from the farmer.
I could tell they were upset by past purchases but to damn all farmers markets was wrong and I explained people like them could actually help those of us that feel the same way. Yes, I acknowledged there were some farmers markets that allowed anything but the markets we established and participated in were "Producer Only," markets. I explained that a "producers only," market is a market that has vendors that sell what they produce. They range from just fruits, vegetables and meats, to anything the person makes, breads, jams, paintings, photographs, jewelry whatever, as long as the person made the product being sold.
I turned the tables as subtly as possible, "you know," I said, "it is Caveat Emptor when you go to an unfamiliar farmers market but you can quickly find out if it is a producers only market". I explained that first and for most know what is in season in your area, if a farmer is selling corn in Maryland before July, he or she is a huckster. If the fruit or vegetable is in season, ask the farmer what is the name of the product. If corn they should be able to tell if it is Sugar Pearl, Fisher's, open pollinated or hybrid or some other characteristic, ask how many days to maturity (DTM). DTM on corn is typically between 75-95 days. Here is a great web site that tells you when fruit and vegetables are in season in your area.
The vendor should be able to give you the name of every vegetable they are selling, the days to maturity, when it was harvested, how long it will last in the refrigerator, is it a heritage or heirloom breed and when it was actually established. Fisher's yellow corn was developed in Montana, in the 1960's by a man name Ken Fisher. He kept selecting corn that had a short growing season and could withstand cold snaps in his state. That I know of every fruit and vegetable has a traceable lineage and the farmer who ordered and planted that seed will know these details. If they say they are organic, ask to see their certification. They have to have it with them at all times and they will be proud to show it to you. If you get an excuse consider them non-organic.
As consumers, we just need to ask questions and follow our gut. If you start to get a feeling, the person is being dishonest or they cannot answer a simple question like what is the name, then they are hucksters. All but one market we have participated in has been producers only. As growers, we know who is growing and who is not. Those that do not grow only bring down those who do and we are quick to question the origin of the products. We do this precisely because of the comment I heard and the reality that there are unscrupulous vendors.
Buy Local: And support non-gmo producers,

When I try to get Punkin to rest in his crate for short periods of time, to train him, he'll just whine and howl and carry on. I think he went as long as half an hour once. I worry that it might be anxiety so I'm wondering if anyone can advise me on how long should a puppy whine before they settle down? I know each puppy is an individual but I wonder at what point is it too much where it might be cruel to keep him in it longer. He is spoiled, he wants his way and doesn't like any sort of restriction in his environment but he has also demonstrated anxious behaviour so I'm not sure if he's carrying on because he thinks he'll eventually get his way or if he's in distress.
Also when Punkin sleeps in our bed he shuffles so much like he can't find a comfortable spot. He digs deeper under or between pillows then after a few minutes gets up and goes to the end of the bed or just turns around. He seems to do this all night long, least while I'm awake, I'm wondering if this behaviour would make sleeping in a crate difficult? |

Let's see now --- hmmm. I can sleep on the bed with mommy and daddy or I can be all alone in a crate. So hard to decide!!!! Big mistake letting him sleep with you -- now you will just have to listen to the whining until he realizes who is the boss. (a baby with the same decision, but a crib will have the very same reaction and the crying will last lots longer than 30 minutes!) Make him stay off the bed now while you have some control and start crate-training. |

Thanks I was worried I was being a bit mean. We tried putting him in with Peanut, even his brother when they first came, but he freaked out so much more than Peanut did when we trained her. I'll be strong. |

Greene Publishing, Inc.
The United Way team in Madison County has wrapped up their campaign and came in just dollars under their starting goal of $110,000.
Mark Buescher, the organization's chair and Megan Picht, United Way's campaign associate from Tallahassee, welcomed team members to the Madison County Community Bank, where they served volunteers and business representatives breakfast and handed out awards of appreciation for their work and dedication that helped make the campaign "a success."
Bronze, Silver and Gold plaques along with President's and Chairman's Awards were given to Madison County businesses who were able to raise or donate funds anywhere from $1,000 up to $49,999, but heartfelt thanks was also sent to all companies, regardless of amount, who invested their time and money towards the United Way campaign. Bronze plaques were awarded to Birdsong Peanuts, Duke Energy, Greenville Timber Corporation, Madison County Clerk's Office, Madison County Government, Madison County Property Appraiser and Madison Dental Associates. Silver Medals went to Corporate Graphics International and Tri-County Electric Cooperative. Johnson & Johnson earned a Gold Medal and the President's Award went to Madison County Community Bank and Madison County Schools.

Bohemian features are becoming a major part of mainstream culture.
In the past, bohemia was limited to select groups of people and now with the introduction and popularization of boho chic fashions and lifestyles it has turned into a craze. Bohemian aesthetics that include feathers, whimsical dresses, gypsy-inspired looks and fringed bags are now everywhere. Go into almost any store and you will find bohemian influenced merchandise from clothes to accessories. The bohemian lifestyle is about embracing a carefree and free-flowing life. It used to be viewed as unorthodox, but it has now become conventional and integrated into everyday appearances.
Bohemian features can be found in the form of editorials, photography, merchandise and more.

When I Came Home - video 2004
I though the topic of this production was a very good one I think the quality of how it was done from the stand point of the video production was only four stars.
youwonmeover -
No Glory and only disrespect.......
I think this video should be on all of the major networks. It is excellent information but someone at the top of the American Pyramid needs to intervene and assist ALL veterans.
First the United States of America Military System know's that this is a problem. The rights of people who serve in the military are not even on the radar scale. People that are in prison or jail have more rights in this country. Really America why? Why do we allow pregnant teengagers to get apartments and food stamps? Why in 2011/2012 does America and the entire world have women and men that pro-create with out jobs, always thinking the system and tax payers are going to take care of their habits.
The time is now for a program to be put in place to help any American Veteran to have a job, home, food after they served 2 or more years in the Military. The Military and all political groups in Washinton D.C. and all other state governments should be made to live for one month as a veteran to feel, understand and experience what they go through. America stop spending money on teen age pregnancy and make parents take care of their children. Stop coming up with excuses to bail out corporate America, Banks, Wall Street, and bail out our veterans.
Maybe if we as americans stop supporting the crap that hollywood advertises every week on ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC etc, dumb programs on television by all of networks that promote nothing but stupid programming and the dumbing down of American citizens and freedoms then maybe American families and American veterans will build up this country. Wake up people - we have a country of talented and gifted people - but we have corporate, non-profit and other organizations that do not even hire American trained and educated actors. They go to Australia, England, South Africa, Brazil, Columbia and throw non-america born people on the screen and will not even give an American Born Citizen with education, veteran status a JOB....

RE: Get a Job.
Okay. I am 62 Years Old. I spent 8 Years in Mental Hospitals, Years on the Streets, Prisons for "homeless Crimes" to wit: Tresspassing, Burlagery (which is Sleeping in abandon building) etc. I used to Earn Money Playing JAZZ GUITAR on the Streets, that is now ILLEGAL!
So you peoples who love to say "GET A JOB." You are the REASON AMERICA is a CORPORATIST FASCIST POLICE STATE.
Anf its going to EAT YOU.
Get a Job
I know the homeless. Most, even vets are that way because they will not work.
Yes I know some that have been screwed by the V.A. And then people put it off onto the Goverenment, not remembering that they are the government. Or in some cases they try to put it off onto the corperation. If they are the problem, stop giving them your money dumbass.
The U.S.A. needs to stay out of other countrys shit. We need to go back too a pre-WWII state of mind and keep to ourselves. FTW!!
Good info here if you would like to stop bitching about the Government and fucking do something about it.

Ignorance and Apathy
I have always found that Americans will hide their heads in the sand (not in denial, but ignorance) when it comes to anything about what their Gov. is DOING. But when it comes to what the Gov. have done, in the past, and the "people" happen to find out, there is outrage, but nothing happens 'cause it's over, man...
Maybe more Americans would be better off if they took an active interest in what is going on at the time, not just in the U.S. of A, but the world. Some yanks refer to America as "the world"; which just points out their ignorance and arrogance. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule, but they are so few as to be like diamonds when found. Get with it people of America.

War is wrong.
It just goes to show that the country and citizens that so proudly wave their flags for soldiers, but forget about the damage that the soldiers have to go through for their country.
They are forgotten and literally forced to the curb to be rejected as human beings.
It's disgusting. The US government and corporations are absolutely horrible in this regard and need to be stopped.
What's worse is that there are still so many people that are blind to what's going on in their own country. They only care about sending more soldiers over to fight - but they themselves have no idea what the retributions are to being a soldier.

Brilliantly done
All this is, is the words of homeless veterans. It's perfection, nothing could be added or taken away to add to the impact.
Download this, it's well worth seeing. I pray we will show more gratitude to those who have put their life on the line for us.

V.A. Liars
This movie strikes home because I have lived it. A nice sequel would be a documentary which shows that not only is the Veterans Administration not equiped to deal with homeless veterans, but the damage they do when they PRETEND they are.
For example, I've been going to V.A. hospitals for over 30 years now. Last year when I applied for Expedited Emergency Assistance from the V.A., it took them 6 months to respond to my application. Did they hope I would just die on the streets waiting for their EXPEDITED response?
And how did they finally respond? They sent me a 16 page document of poorly xeroxed copies of the Expedited Emergency Assistance Act with one page hidden in the middle announcing the results of their SIX MONTH INVESTIGATION.
The results? After "intensive" investigation, they concluded that I was a 50 year-old male ( I told them THAT in my application! ).
That's it! That's all. Oh, and that I was denied "emergency" assistance because they could not find any V.A. medical records on me.
I've been going to V.A. medical hospitals for 30 years and they haven't been keeping records??

US officials urged to downgrade new medal honoring drone pilots
Distinguished Warfare Medal outranks Bronze Star
SAN DIEGO - A petition drive is under way urging the White House to downgrade a new military medal that honors drone pilots.
The bravery and sacrifice of troops in combat is recognized through various medals. However, some say the newest military medal is too distinguished.
The newly created Distinguished Warfare Medal will be awarded to drone pilots, whose remotely controlled missions have been key in taking out terrorist targets.
In a news release, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said, "We should … have the ability to honor extraordinary actions that make a true difference in combat operations, even if those actions are physically removed from the fight."
The new medal is an honor that ranks above a Bronze Star and Purple Heart.
"This medal sends a message that the service of drone pilots is greater than the sacrifice of combat veterans," said Vince Vasquez, a policy analyst who works at a local think tank that has studied military issues.
Vasquez just signed a new online petition asking President Barack Obama to demote the medal.
For the White House to consider taking action, 100,000 signatures will be needed by mid-March.
Many military veterans groups have criticized the new medal. On one military blog, the medal is depicted as an Xbox controller.
Richard Gilbert, who served as a Marine sniper in Iraq, said something feels wrong -- the symbolic weight of the new medal.
"I don't feel like that individual's life is in danger whenever they're piloting a drone," said Gilbert.
Top military leaders say the new medal is a nod to the growing importance of high-tech warfare.
Others say it's coming at the expense of what's most important.
"It's just an affront on what I think military service is," said Vasquez.

Used to cook a lot when I was growing up on the farm, but didn't do much while I was working full-time outside the home. Lots of take-out and boxed/frozen meals. My favorite cookbooks are The Joy of Cooking, and Betty Crocker. I live with my husband and our dog, Cooper.
I am famous for my soups. (Well, within the family at least.) When I'm stressed out, I could chop veggies for hours to make a batch of my vegetable beef soup. Love artichokes, tilapia, asparagas, and really good breads. Oh, and crab legs! For restaurants, I like going to local non-chain places and trying their unique specialties.

Today was the day when the names for Melodifestivalen, the national selection to the Eurovision Song Contet 2015, was revealed by swedish broadcaster SVT. Here we find established names like Eric Saade, Måns Zelmerlöw, Magnus Clarsson, Andreas Johnsson, Jessica Andersson, Marie Bergman and Sanne Salomonsen mixed with more unknown ones.
Stockholm has Allsång På Skansen and Gothenburg has Lotta På Liseberg. In Sweden they like sing a long programmes and all through the summer plenty of well known names will join Lotta Engberg in the amusement park Liseberg in Gothenburg.
Over 4 000 000 Swedish viewers saw Loreen win Melodifestivalen 2012 on Saturday night. Sensational 2 053 432 viewers voted, only two times before the amount of votes in the final have been higher. Of the 2 053 432 votes, Loreen and Danny together got more than half of them. In the article you will find all the voting figures for Melodifestivalen 2012.
Tonight Sweden held it's Second chance heat which is the last heat before the final in Globen on the 10th of March. This was a new chance for the 3rd and 4th placed songs from the four previous heats to qualify to the final.
On February 4th the first Swedish semi final kicks off with debutant Sean Banan. The honour of closing the fourth semi final is veteran Danny Saucedo. This year, 14 of the 32 songs have Swedish lyrics which is an unusually high number.
The full starting field of Melodifestivalen 2012 came clear today when swedish broadcaster SVT announced the final 16 acts at a press conference this morning. Fans of Melodifestivalen will discover several familiar names and amongst these the one perhaps shining brightest is the Eurovision winner Charlotte Perrelli.
Swedish broadcaster has just announced the songtitles and the songwriters who will be participating at the 2012 Swedish selection, Melodifestivalen. The list include quite some familiar names such as Sonja Aldén, Thomas G:son, Fredrik Kempe, Lasse Holm and Andreas Johnson.
Big names such as Carola, Eric Saade, Andreas Johnson and Jessica Andersson all took part in the televised annual public celebration of the Swedish Crown Princess Victorias birthday.
Denmark are pinning their hopes on young rock band A Friend In London this year, and optimism and a buoyant mood are evident as New Tomorrow is performed on stage. The Danes have great ambitions for their entry this year and are leaving nothing to chance.

Dr. Jennifer Nez Denetdale, associate professor of American Studies at the University of New Mexico will visit at Fort Lewis College as part of the FLC Native American Center Speaker Series. In addition to meeting with students, Dr. Denetdale will offer a public presentation at 7 p.m. in the Center of Southwest Studies Lyceum on Tuesday, November 15, 2011. The presentation is free and open to the public.
Within the context of modern national formations, Dr. Denetdale's presentation at FLC will explore the uses of oral tradition to foment and foster a Navajo national consciousness. As this lecture will demonstrate, oral histories and tradition have been deployed in different ways, including uses within Navajo kin relations, by American historians, and Navajo nationalists. Further, photographs of Navajos have been significant to reclaiming distinctive Navajo cultural values.
Jennifer Nez Denetdale is a citizen of the Navajo Nation and originally from Tohatchi, New Mexico. She is the author of Reclaiming Diné History: The Legacies of Chief Manuelito and Juanita (Univ. of Arizona Press, 2007), two Navajo histories for young adults, and numerous essays. Professor Denetdale is the first Diné to be awarded a doctorate in history, which she received in 1999 from Northern Arizona University.
She serves on the Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission. Most recently, she was guest curator for the exhibit "Hastiin Ch'ilhajíní dóó Diné bi Naat'áanii Bahane': Chief Manuelito and Navajo Leaders," now showing at the Navajo Nation Museum. Her research interests have included the uses of oral tradition to create Diné histories and examinations of Navajo Long Walk stories and memory. Currently, she is researching and writing on formations of tribal nations, gender, and the politics of tradition.

Hello everyone! Today I wanted to share with you a review of
one of the new
drugstore products I picked up recently: the Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer in
I bought mine at Walgreens, where the standard price seems
to be $4.99. I'm not sure if these are limited edition or not. They come in a range of 14 shades; I chose one of the brighter ones, but there are also more nude/neutral shades in the line. I checked the
Rimmel website, and this product actually isn't even listed on there (yet,
anyway). Here's what Drugstore.com has to say:
The earth-shattering
lip lacquer from Rimmel London combining the intense color of lipstick with a
lacquer-like shine, Show Off Lip Lacquer is an explosive makeup phenomenon that
represents the end of color as you know it. Packed with pure color
pigments, its lusciously creamy, conditioning formula promises a never-before
combination of color, shine and comfort that last and last.
From that (somewhat poorly written, ha) description, we can
gather that these are supposed to be sort of a cross between a lipstick and a
gloss. I'd describe it as a liquid version of a full-color lipstick—with TONS
of pigment.
The tube is made of a hard plastic with a funky, sort of
jewel-cut top that unscrews to pull out the doe-foot applicator. The applicator
itself is actually kind of unique; it contains a little well to help it pick up
more product at a time so you don't have to keep dipping back into the tube.
This product is sort of sloppy going on. The liquid consistency
and intense pigment combine to make it kind of difficult to apply completely
perfectly. I put mine on and then need to go back around the edge of my lipline with
a Q-tip soaked in makeup remover to clean up the edges.
I will say that this product wears well. I was afraid it
might move around, but once it sets (which took maybe 10 or 15 minutes) it doesn't
move. Don't get me wrong; it doesn't dry out right away, just sets to a finish
that keeps it from migrating.
It's pretty comfortable for about three hours;
after that I want to apply a lip balm or something on top to add a little moisture
(although for the photos below I refrained from doing that so I could take an
authentic picture of how it wore!).
The first photo below was taken immediately after
application; the second was taken after about five hours (during which, it
should be noted, I ate dinner!). I also want to point out that I applied a nude
lipliner underneath the Rimmel lip color.
The "after" photo was taken after five hours of wear, but I actually wore this for about seven hours and finally had to take it off before bed because it was still going strong!
Immediately after application |
after 5 hours |
after 5 hours (zoomed out!) |
Overall, I'm a huge fan of these and would love to pick up
some more colors! My local Walgreens is having a buy-one-get-one-half-off sale
on these this week, so if you're interested this might be a good time to check
them out!
I hope this was a helpful review! Have you tried these
Rimmel Lip Lacquers? Thinking about it? Let me know your thoughts!

"This recipe is all over the web - somehow gets lots of complaints and still lots of stars...what gives?
As for me, I made it and, while the taste is good, these were really runny, flat pancakes. As I tend to like the creamier, less fluffy pancakes in general, my 3 star rating indicates that these pancakes really underperformed.

Rear-View Mirror With GPS, Bluetooth, Multimedia Playback and Touchscreen Games (aka the We're Going to Die Mirror)
A few years ago we featured a couple of rear-view mirrors that doubled as monitors and supported Bluetooth integration for hands-free calling. It seems as if not enough morons have died on the road, because the distraction-packed rear-view mirror is back, packed with more distraction than ever before.
Looking at its features, it seems as though the designers tried to make a compromise, but then they realized that having anything on a rear-view mirror aside from a mirror is already dangerous in itself, so why hold back? So yes, there is a dedicated mirror, and there's a GPS navigation system, but there's more! Bluetooth for hands-free calling! Audio and video playback! Touchscreen games! Users will surely be entertained in the final minutes of their lives.
I wouldn't give this as a gift even to my worst enemy. We already have enough mobile gadgets that distract us while we're driving; there's no need to mount one more right in our vehicles.

Do you remember?The McCurdy SA 14023 extended range meter provided accurate self-contained audio measuring in 2RU. It featured a VU meter and optional peak program meter to allow simultaneous monitoring of average and peak signal characteristics. The meter offered a wide input level range from -50 to +30dBm in 2dB steps. It supplied 600Ω termination or a 20kΩ bridging balanced input via front-panel ¼" phone jacks or via rear-panel barrier terminals. The front-panel jack was provided for an isolated monitor output. Simultaneous balanced output provided fixed monitoring. This photo is from 1988. |

The system used 50 spinning, 24" -wide disks and offered about 5MB of space. In the 1980s, desktop computer hard disks were introduced with 5MB using 5.25" platters. Today's entry-level drives have at least 8,000 times more capacity. Just look at the Apple Ipod Nano: 0.27" thin with 4GB of storage. The hard drive has come a long way in the last 50 years.

The Effects of Curricula and Assessment on Pedagogical Approaches and on Educational Outcomes
This review analyses the literature on the effects of curricula and assessment on pedagogical approaches and educational outcomes, i.e. student achievement. The review looks at whether there are differences between mandated or local curricula in terms of their impact on teaching practice and student learning. It also examines the effects of different assessment regimes including national or state-wide testing, on student learning. It focuses particularly on the role of formative assessment. International and New Zealand research are examined.Author(s): Malcolm Carr, Clive McGee, Alister Jones, Elizabeth McKinley, Beverley Bell, Hugh Barr and Tina Simpson

[607] Stromal Expression of YKL-40 Correlates with Disease Free Survival in Colorectal Cancer.
Christopher N Chapman, Hannah Swayze, Michael Kuperman, Frida Rosenblum, Richard Arenas, Q Jackie Cao. Baystate Medical Center, Springfield, MA
Background: Advances in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment has generated a need to discover predictive biomarkers. Increased serum levels of YKL-40, a secreted glycoprotein, has been inversely correlated with clinical outcome in many cancers, including CRC. To date, limited work has addressed if there is correlation between tissue expression of YKL-40 in CRC and clinical outcomes, such as disease free survival (DFS) and total survival (TS).
Design: Using clinical and tumor registry data we identified 281 patients with Stage 2-4 CRC with a minimum of 2-year follow-up. Immunohistochemistry was performed on archival tissue using a polyclonal YKL-40 antibody. Scores for percent of cells staining and staining intensity were combined for each specimen separately for epithelium and stroma to derive a total score which ranged from 0 to 6. Specimens with a total score ≥4 were classified as "positive (+)" and those <4 classified as "negative (-)". Cox regression was performed to assess the significance of stromal and epithelial expression in CRC in relationship to DFS and TS, controlling for stage and lymphatic invasion. Adjusted Hazard ratios indicate the risk of recurrence controlling for each variable.
Results: Fig 1 shows the crude DFS for patients according to total stromal score cutpoints (+/-). DFS for patient with "-" stromal score was superior to that for patient "+" score. Controlling for other variables in the Cox regression, "+" stromal score was an independent predictor of decreased DFS, (p<0.05). As expected, stage was also significantly related to DFS (p<0.001). Epithelial score and lymphatic invasion were not significant. Controlling for other variables, patients with "+" stromal scores were over twice as likely to recur (Hazard Ration = 2.1) as those with "-" scores. Stromal and epithelial scores showed no association with tumor stage. Tumor stage was the only predictor of TS by Cox regression.
Conclusions: Our results show a direct correlation between tumor specific stromal expression of YKL-40 and DFS in CRC. Lack of a significant association between stage and stromal score suggest that the latter is not merely a surrogate for the former. Our data suggests that stromal expression of YKL-40 predicts recurrence in CRC.

When securing information from dangers that may affect companies, employers must recognize that cybercriminals are not the only threats. Weather-related incidents like hurricanes, tornadoes and floods can also interrupt the flow of businesses.
Organizations in the path of natural disasters must prepare for different scenarios that may threaten their infrastructures. Strong winds may blow down power lines and trees, and heavy rains could flood office buildings. To ensure data protection, companies of all sizes must create disaster recovery plans in preparation for incidents that may occur at any time.
Many institutions rely on cloud computing services to create backups. The cloud is a cost-effective solution that offers unlimited storage for databases, and allows employees to gain access from any device that uses an internet connection, Data Center Knowledge reported.
According to a recent 2012 TechTarget Cloud Pulse survey, the majority of 926 polled respondents said they already use the cloud for certain aspects of their businesses, while 20 percent use a cloud service for disaster recovery and 30 percent plan to do so in the next six months.
Some experts also suggest a hybrid approach to disaster recovery that merges cloud computing and hardware. Companies should consider storing essential documents to running a business in the cloud that can be recovered as soon as possible. Other less essential materials can be stored in an offsite location where they will remain safe until an authorized person requests to retrieve them.
To prepare for the aftermath of bad weather, the cloud is one of the best forms of data loss prevention. However, to ensure company plans work, decision-makers must test their plans regularly in case any changes need to be made, said the executive director of the Disaster Recovery Institute, Alan Berman, in an interview with Info Bank Security.

Fist-bumping the flu
For those living in shelters and on the streets, flu season is harder to fight
Handshakes are out; fist bumps are in.
That's the flu-fighting advice public health nurse Heather Barr has for Real Change vendors and anyone else who comes in contact with dozens of customers a day.
Minimizing hand contact can help lower the risk of spreading infection this flu season, which came earlier this year and is expected to hit harder.
Normally by this time, about a dozen nursing and senior homes have reported people with flu-like symptoms. As of Jan. 14, residents in 32 of these facilities have reported flu-like symptoms.
Barr, head of King County's Health Care for the Homeless program, oversees the 100 employees who administer flu vaccinations at shelters and social services and trains people on how keep from spreading the flu.
Barr brought a supply of the latest flu vaccine, which protects against three strains of the virus, to Nickelsville in West Seattle last week.
The vaccine helps, she said, but the bulk of her work can be summed up in a single sentence.
"Wash your hands a lot. Goodbye, my work is done here," Barr said with a laugh.
For those surviving on the streets and in shelters across the region, this simple advice is much harder to follow than for those with permanent housing. For some, even being able to wash or sanitize their hands is difficult.
"We have drop-in centers, but there aren't tons of them," Barr said.
Hand-washing is especially critical for some populations. Low-income people, especially those living in shelters, are at higher risk of infection due to greater exposure to other populations and heavy use of public transportation.
The City of Seattle's newly-enacted paid sick time legislation will no doubt help, but low-income people who are working and struggling to survive cannot often take off work and will show up sick and spread the flu. And those living in shelters can have lowered immune systems because of the stress of being homeless. They frequently have no place to rest during the day, when shelters are closed.
"When you're running 300 people plus through a facility a day, half of whom have been living on the street, you have an expectation that there's going to be a reasonable amount of germs," said Wayne Wilson, manager of Compass Housing Alliance's Day and Hygiene Center.
Although low-income people are at greater risk of flu exposure, these days service providers are better prepared to help them, Barr said.
When H1N1 flu virus, sometimes called "swine flu," started spreading in 2009, Healthcare for the Homeless began collecting data from six large shelters around King County to determine if there was a spike in flu-like symptoms.
Barr has been collecting data ever since. This year she's heard about fewer than 10 cases of flu-like symptoms in the shelters, but she's still watching.
If the number ever spiked, Healthcare for the Homeless and several of the large shelters would take action. Some would stay open during the day to let sick clients rest; at night they would create separate bed space for anyone with symptoms.
The county held emergency vaccination clinics last weekend for anyone who was not insured. This is one of the few ways homeless people without insurance can get a vaccine. Most vaccines for adults are distributed through doctor's offices and the private market, according to the Department of Health.
Barr and several nursing interns are visiting shelters and encampments offering vaccinations. She gave a few shots at Nickelsville Jan. 17, but some people were wary.
A group around the campfire recounted their reasons: They've never had the flu, a flu shot gave them the flu, vaccines are just another way for pharmaceutical companies to make money.
Barr has heard all this before, but she still set up her food cooler filled with a stock of vaccines to give the shots to anyone willing to take one. And she advised them, once again, to wash their hands.

"Righthaven was a concerted, intelligent approach," Gibson said, in an interview earlier this week. "Before Righthaven came along, not many folks were successful in dealing with copyright infringement."
In the oral arguments before a Ninth District panel on Tuesday, the future did not look bright for this approach, however intelligent. One judge called it "an attempt that's too cute by half" to get around legal precedent that prevents copyright holders from transferring away the right to sue while keeping all the benefits associated with copyright.
In the process of suing all these website owners, Righthaven also dredged up questions about fair use. That's what the second appeal before the Ninth Circuit court focused on, and what attracted Google (which filed an amicus brief in a third appeal that sputtered out) and the RIAA (which filed an amicus brief in this one) to Righthaven's mess.
In both Righthaven v. Hoehn, the case appealed Tuesday, and the case for which Google filed a brief, defendants had posted an entire Review-Journal article. The lower judges that heard the cases had decided the reposts were protected under fair use. Righthaven, in its appeals, was fighting that interpretation.
Google was worried that Righthaven's argument—that reposting a copyright work in full is always illegal—would limit fair use: Google's had to argue, in the past, that its image search business and Google Books scans do not impinge upon copyrights. The RIAA, on the other hand, was not comfortable with the ruling in Hoehn that posting a whole article—in this case, on a discussion forum—constituted fair use.
The RIAA may end up relieved; on Tuesday, the appeals court appeared less sympathetic than its lower counterpart to the argument that Wayne Hoehn's posting was protected under copyright law.
"How's that fair use?" one judge asked. "Did you ever see a newspaper website without a comments section?" To spark discussion, the judges suggested, Hoehn could have commented on the original story or posted an excerpt or a link.
Righthaven's basically out of business as of now and currently owes the people it sued tens of thousands of dollars in attorney's fees. But these fair use issues are still live, and there are other lawyers out there ready to go after websites that have posted copyrighted works—particularly images.
"There are a number of attorneys out there who are engaged in trolling as a strategy," says Kurt Opsahl at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who argued against Righthaven in one of the appeals. "Most of the ones that I'm familiar with are doing a much more traditional approach. The copyright holders hire them as counsel to represent them in a lawsuit. That doesn't bring up the issues that were fatal to Righthaven."
Disclosure: CJR has received funding from the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to cover intellectual-property issues, but the organization has no influence on the content.

The supply chain of cocoa is very complex. Over 90% of all cocoa comes from some three million small family farmers who depend on cocoa production for their livelihoods. Our support is designed to ensure future supplies of cocoa and involve ourselves responsibly so that communities growing cocoa can prosper and the environment where cocoa is grown remains sustainable.
Since 2001 Mars has played a leadership role in the global cocoa and chocolate industry's efforts to address allegations of child abuse on the cocoa farms of West Africa. Mars is working with the national governments of Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana (the world's largest cocoa growing countries), labor experts and community-based organizations to support the establishment of a certification process to ensure that cocoa is farmed free from the worst forms of child labor. This certification process began in July 2008, and initially covers 50% of the cocoa growing regions of Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana.
We recognize that achieving real change requires working in partnership with others having skills complementary to our own. To support that approach, the International Cocoa Initiative (ICI), an independent voice dedicated to eradicating abusive child and forced labor in cocoa production worldwide, was established in 2002. As a registered charity, the ICI's Board of Directors represents a wide range of stakeholders: human rights and child labor organizations, trades unions, local groups in the cocoa growing countries, and the cocoa and chocolate industry. As a member of the International Cocoa Initiative's (ICI) Board of Directors and their membership in UTZ Certified, Mars is committed to eradicate child labor and abduction.
We are also working to improve the livelihoods of cocoa farmers and their families through our participation in the Sustainable Tree Crops Program (STCP), a public-private partnership between the cocoa and chocolate industry and government supporters. This program, which is operating in West Africa, has successfully promoted farmers' organizations and co-operatives leading to improvements designed to help farmers achieve better prices for their cocoa. Through its Farmer Field Schools Program, the STCP also helps farmers achieve increased yields by improving farming techniques.
In addition, Mars is a member of the World Cocoa Foundation (WCF), a global organization of cocoa and chocolate companies, processors, traders and others who are dedicated to improving the conditions of cocoa farmers and the communities in which they live. WCF programs raise farmer incomes, encourage responsible, sustainable cocoa farming and help strengthen cocoa farming communities. Members provide financial contributions as well as technical expertise and guidance to partners in West Africa and other program locations.
Mars is supporting social initiatives committed to improving the working conditions of farmers and ensuring their children get a school education. This includes programs such as the Farmer Field Schools in West & Central Africa, East Asia and Latin America. Smallholders and their families learn about preventive health and safety precautions in production, and are made aware of how significant school education is for the future of their children. The Farmer Field Schools have already reached several hundred thousand smallholders, thereby helping them increase their average income by 30 to 40 percent.
These steps to address cocoa growing conditions in West Africa are the continuation of a long-term commitment Mars began in 1998 to improve the well-being of millions of small farmers who grow cocoa. To learn more, please visit www.cocoasustainability.mars.com.
