I have repurchased many times. It's a very decent powder that doesn't break me out. I used it to set foundation but not any more because I don't want to add more color. So, the best way for me is to use this one over concealer for the lazy days since it provides light coverage and mattifies. I keep buying select sheer for that purpose.
Downsides: if you keep adding powder the colour gets deeper and unnatural (but this could happened because of wrong color match too). It can end up cackey too and doesn't keep oil at a bay for long on its own.
This is such a good product! I have this in NW 15 and it matches my skin perfectly. It mattifies the shininess of my daycream and if I wear moisturizer and concealer it will make sure that those products stay on my skin for many many hours. I'm already at my 4th case and I don't see myself buying any other pressed powder than this one. It just looks so good!
Ok so i have weird skin, its dry on the surface but oily underneath.. Lately my skin has been looking alot better so i got this powder from MAC and started using just concealr where necessary and setting with powder. This powder did such a good job of evening out my skin tone without looking cakey or dry. Now i just use a moisturizer and Sheer Select! Amazingly natural look, i love it! I had to take out 1 lippie cos i feel that this product does not look good when re applied.

I have been wearing this powder for at least six years now and I absolutely love it. I honestly don't know how many compacts I did however make the mistake of switching over to MAC's Studio Careblend and I quickly returned back to my beloved holy grail powder, before I even hit pan! This powder blends into the skin so amazingly that it is virtually undetectable. I constantly receive compliments on my skin and people always want to know which foundation I wear. They're always surprised to know that I am in fact not wearing any foundation at all, and that I'm simply wearing concealer along with this powder. The best thing about the Select Sheer Pressed Powder is the price! It's quite affordable for a MAC powder and I certainly don't mind purchasing it several times throughout the year. I just hope MAC never discontinues this powder!
i used this for touchups and I've gone through the entire product.
really makes your skin look better
doesn't look chalky

This does give me matt finish, however, after coupke hours, it just totally melt into my tzone, i have to blot out oil then reapply it, love the puff that comes with it.
I came from using MAC's Studio Fix before trying this one out. This one has light coverage and so is less cakey. Even though there are fewer shades to choose from, I feel like this matches my skin better than the Fix does also. It actually looks wonderful in photographs. It gives your face a healthy glow without looking too shiny. It is a great every day powder to set your foundation.
Unfortunately, it seems like the product gets used up quickly and I am not even a heavy applicator. I hit the pan much sooner than I ever expected. So it could get expensive. I will definitely repurchase it.

I wear powder foundation so I only use this to set my undereye concealer - it works great for that as long as you work the powder into the bristles of whatever brush you use (I prefer to pat it on with a flat foundation brush) on the back of your hand first.

I absolutely LOVE this product! This powder is exactly what Ive been looking for and the best part is, the shade matches me perfect! I bought NC5 (the lightest shade) because Im extremely pale and this blends in with my skin amazingly!
This powder controls oil and shine without getting cakey... sometimes I reapply it in the afternoon but its usually not necassary. I dont normally wear foundation because I like to feel clean/natural and this covers just the right amount of redness in my skin without making it look like im wearing anything and It doesnt sink into pores, it actually makes them appear smaller!
The only downside about this powder is the packaging.. I wish there was a separate compartment between the poof/sponge and the product but I can live with it. I also think its pretty expensive for what it is ... I think maybe 5 or so dollars cheaper would be better but oh well! Ill keep using it!

MAC pressed powders work as any pressed powders would, however, I've found that throughout the day, as you press and press powder, your face begins to look a little cakey and white. I suggest using MAC blot powder instead, it is completely translucent and can also be used to set foundation. Same price, even better buy.

EU Financial Cooperation with Jordan
The EU dedicates considerable financial resources to support Jordan's National Agenda and to ensure the best results for its partnership with Jordan, in terms of political, economic and overall social and legal reform.
The EU also works closely with Jordanian authorities and civil society organizations in Jordan to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of technical and financial cooperation with Jordan. Since 1995, assistance provided by the EU has mounted to over €500 million. Main priorities include:
- Support to Jordan's reform in the area of democracy, human rights, media and justice
- Trade, enterprise and investment development
- Sustainability of the growth process, including human resource development and the development of new or alternative energy sources.
The European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) 2007-2010 currently forms the basis of the Union's financial cooperation with Jordan, which focuses on political reform and good governance, trade and investment development, sustainability of the development process, and institution building, financial stability and support to regulatory approximation.
For the period 2011-2013, the EU proposed to allocate €223 million under the ENPI bilateral envelope. This is an average of €74.33 million a year, which represents an increase of over 12% from the ENPI for the period 2007-2010.
"Advanced status" partnership means closer cooperation in a large number of areas, and opens the way for further negotiations in relation to financial cooperation.

The Abercrombie brand has been suffering lately, big time. In addition to being what the analyst Richard Jafffe calls "a stale brand" that is incapable of competing with trendier companies, the company, led by CEO Mike Jeffies, has been pretty sexist in their marketing strategies. Girls are taking note; no one wants to buy clothes from a company that sexualizes young girls and "hates fat chicks."
And we ladies are voting with out dollar! After losing 30 percent of the company value, Abercrombie executives are realizing that cutting production costs and discounting clothing isn't going to be enough to keep them afloat.
In the next year, the company will finally begin stocking larger sizes. We might not begin to see them until the next "back to school season," but it's exciting to see a corporate monolith change its ways with a little pressure from young ladies who know that it's not cool to buy into discrimination. We won't be rushing through the company's overly-perfumed doors anytime soon, but it is nice to see them finally taking the hint.

Features By Gwen Reyes on April 27, 2011 | Comments (2)Although certain politicians and even scientists will suggest otherwise, most agree our basic human desire for sex remains pretty unchanged. Over the centuries we've acknowledged that ladies like it just as much as the men folk, both sexes can be completely uninterested, and there's also the possibility that same sex lovers getting down and dirty isn't, in fact, dirty. Every new generation accepts something as tame that the previous generation thinks taboo. My mother finds the practice of bondage troubling, but the idea is ordinary to me. Whereas I don't quite understand her fascination with the word "slutpuppy" because that's just ooky. I'm not saying one generation is better than the other, I'm more curious about how we got to the place we are. I am pretty in tune with the going-ons of Gwen, so I have no problem pinpointing a lot of my sexual identity development happening simultaneously with the films and TV that I watched in the 90s. Thinking back, the 90s stand out to me as a hodgepodge decade when it came to sex in film. We had the renewal of romantic melodramas as a reaction to the social commentary-filled erotic thrillers of the 80s, the depiction of realistic sex in comedies, and the rise in popularity of rape culture. Of course all these themes wouldn't have been possible without the decades before them, but something happened in the 90s that made sex seem pleasurable through love, humor, and invasion.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Contemporary American Indian Art · The Nerman Museum Collection, opens Friday, Feb. 7, in the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art's first-floor galleries. A reception for the exhibit will begin at 6 p.m. followed by a lecture with artist Jeffery Gibson at 7 p.m. in the museum's Hudson Auditorium. Both the reception and the lecture are free and open to the public.
This exhibition celebrates Johnson County Community College's and the Nerman Museum's extraordinary, decade-long commitment to building a major collection (numbering130 works by 95 artists) of contemporary American Indian art. It is a commitment which likely exceeds that of any other major American museum of contemporary art.
The 43 artists included in the exhibition embrace a diversity of themes – some political, some historical, others personal – and each addresses these ideas in individually expressive ways: perhaps with directness, poignancy or humor. The collection and exhibit allow insight as to how American Indian artists are reinterpreting or reinventing their cultural traditions through contemporary perspectives and practices.
"These artists share a common heritage of indigenous roots and an epic history of cultural change," states Libby Lumpkin, professor of art history at the University of New Mexico.
American Indian artists are an integral part of contemporary American culture, and while many may work in more traditional media such as pottery, beadwork or weaving, their works are unequivocally informed by the times in which we live. Numerous artists represented in the collection have degrees from universities such as Georgetown University or the University of California in Los Angeles, and they may have chosen to return to reservations or pueblos to explore and reinvigorate traditional art forms passed down through generations. Accordingly, many of the pieces exhibited reflect a utilitarian origin, as expressed in their form or material usage.
The 55 works selected for this exhibit span a diverse range of cultures and geography, extending from the Pacific Northwest to the Southwest, Plains and Northeast. The collection is inclusive of a variety of mediums – clay, beadwork, glass, textiles, sculpture, basketry, painting, photography, etc. – and philosophical approaches. Its intent is to emphasize the importance and continuity of contemporary American Indian art and to do so within the context of a contemporary art museum and a college environment.
It is of note that JCCC is home to the Center for American Indian Studies (CAIS). Established in 2010, CAIS (along with its parent organization, the American Indian Health Research and Education Alliance) partners with American Indian peoples and organizations to improve the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being of American Indians throughout the United States. The annual Center for American Indian Studies Pow Wow (hosted at JCCC the first Friday and Saturday of May) is currently one of the only health and wellness pow wows in the United States.
Contemporary American Indian Art · The Neman Museum Collection will be on view through May 18, 2014.
The Nerman Museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. The museum is closed on Mondays and all JCCC holidays. Admissions and parking are free.

Improv Show!
Finished my workshop yesterday and then last night an actual improv show starring the workshop participants and hosted by me. It was unfuckingbelievable!! Truly theatre magic. The show wrapped up in just under two hours (including intermission) but the audience, including many friends and family, but also about one quarter regular English Theatre of Rome supporters, were cheering for more. Time flies when you're having fun. It certainly flew for us on stage as well.
Everybody stepped up into their roles, attacked the games, created solid scene work.
I have seen improv shows with people who consider themselves "improvisers" that weren't half as good as these people. These raw rookies. Of seven only 2 had any experience with improv before. Ever.
As you can imagine I'm feeling quite proud and happy. I was thrilled to be able to get these workshops going, and then as we were trying to get participants I was worried that the workshop wouldn't fly.
But the workshops flew, and the participants all learned alot, and then displayed all that and then some last night.
I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for god knows how many hours after I got home. I really felt like I was on some heavy stimulants, and I guess I was, adrenaline, pride and the excitement of possibility.
Only melatonin and the tranquil soothing playstation could get me to finally nod off.

I have a daughter in her thirties who is being treated for depression. "Treated" is used loosely because I think that she is probably a victim of another type of mental illness. Another doctor had suggested that she was bi-polar but this facility dismissed that out of hand. The mental health facility that she uses does not return phone calls from her husband or me and we are both named as contacts on the HIPA documents. She gets adamant about anyone going to her doctor/therapist visits with her- the anger she displays then is in itself a sign that something is very wrong. She sleeps too much, is irritable and sometimes downright nasty yet there are some (few) times when she can seem/act normal. She is very resentful towards her in-laws (for no apparent reason) and claims that the therapist says it is all right to feel that way. Somehow I feel that a good therapist would help her to deal with this situation in a constructive way rather than feeding her anger towards them. Of course, I am not present when she is with him so I don't know what she is telling him and/or what he is telling her. Sometimes I feel that in the end, the entire family will need counseling and medication. Hopefully, she will never harm herself or her child and while it doesn't seem likely, that thought always is present. Actually I think that HIPA is the way that incompetent hospitals, doctors, etc., hide from accountability to the families of patients; its purpose isn't for protection of the patient by any means. This is so disheartening since it seems that there is just no recourse and the situation will just get worse and worse. |
Follow-Up Postings:
zzeasy, Unfortunatly, mental health facilities are always difficult to deal with. HIPPA laws are not new but were revised to be much stricter about 5 years ago. I am a resource coordinator for elderly and disabled folks. I have to have a HIPPA consent form for every client to allow me to discuss health issues etc. even though I am only trying to find help for them. My Husbands Dr. cannot discuss my husband with me, but I have a client that sees the same Dr. I can discuss her health with him because I have that signed form. If your adult daughter dosen't want you knowing about her mental health issues, there is nothing you can do. Try to convinse her to sign a consent form as an emergency contact person, then at least you can give your input to her Drs. God Luck, I feel for ya. Lisa |
ZZeasy, I can't give you any advice but I can tell you that my DIL suffered from severe depression, a couple periods of hospitalization, lots of drugs - nothing worked. She lost her health insurance so no more doctors, no more drugs - and she got better, better than she has been in many, many years. Make of that what you will. |
- Posted by nola_in_aus (My Page) on Thu, Jun 1, 06 at 16:41
ZZeasy,I don't know anything about your health system,but when a member of my family was in a similar situation here my husband and myself made an appointment with the doctor and received a lot of help and advice from him,it was a lot more fruitful than trying to contact him by phone. Would it be possible for you to go and see her mental health facility personally. Sorry I cant be of much health,I hope everything works out well for you. Nola |

Loveland, Ohio - Loveland High School (LHS) Economics Teacher Charles Warden has been named Economics Teacher of the Year. The University of Cincinnati (UC) Economics Center presented Warden the award at UC's Annual Awards Luncheon Thursday, March 27.

The UC Economics Teacher of the Year Award is designed to promote an educator who is committed to his/her students having a true understanding of business, economic concepts and financial literacy.

"We are so proud to recognize Mr. Warden for his accomplishments," said Dr. Julie Heath, Economics Center director. "He is the perfect representative of the power of a good teacher – he engages his students, he brings economics to life, and he guides them to discovering the important connections between the classroom and the real world."

I fell in love with this plant after seeing it at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. I quickly learned that it is not sold at nurseries here in Southern California. The few places that mention this plant online "no longer grow" this plant. So I am hoping that someone on gardenweb might be able to help me. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

It appears to be available at the link below. Very pretty. Sue |
Here is a link that might be useful: Asteriscus sericeus at Plant Safari
I have contacted that nursery but they didn't have it. Typical. I am almost thinking I have to look for seeds abroad. Thanks for looking though. |
I'm wondering if you were able to find any seeds. The L.A. Arboretum also has these (which they grew from seed), but they wouldn't give me a cutting. So I'm hoping I can find some seeds somewhere. |
Yes I ordered seeds from Germany I think, a couple of years ago. I ended up with a lot of plants and gave away to people (telling them they have plants few other people have). I have 6 plants myself and they are beautiful. I love the smell of the leaves, and the flowers are so nice and lasts a long time. This summer I am expecting them to really take off. Let me try to find the website that I ordered seeds from. |
Ok, they actually list this plant under nauplius sericeus on this website, but that's the same plant. And this is where I ordered it from. If you're in the Los Angeles area maybe I could give you a branch. I haven't done much rooting of cuttings, but if you think that's possible I would be willing to share. They shed all their flowers and seeds a few months ago. http://www.rareplants.de/shop/product.asp?strParents=&CAT_ID=0&P_ID=9118&strPageHistory=search&numSearchStartRecord=1 |

Hello all! We recently purchased a great (small) Spanish-style home in San Diego and are in the process of trying to improve its energy efficiency. One major concern is, of course, the windows. There are a total of 22 windows: 7 original, double hung, single pane windows with beautiful wavy glass; 2 new vinyl windows and 13 old, awful aluminum windows that are falling apart. Ideally I would love to replace all of the aluminum windows with wood matched to the original ones and restore the originals, but the first estimate I received was $900-$1300 per replacement window and almost as much to restore each of the 7 original windows. The original windows are in very good shape considering their age, and both the originals and the aluminum framed windows have fabulous original woodwork inside and out. Given the size and cost of the home, it just doesn't make sense to spend $20-30k on the windows, but I am so confused about what I can and should do to improve the functionality of the windows and maintain the character of the home. What do you all think? Thanks for your help, Internet searches can be very confusing!!! |

Storm windows are probably your cheapest avenue from point A to point B. They make both interior and exterior storm windows. |

Top 11 Beauty Products I'd Take to a Desert Island
This weekend, as I was spring cleaning, I did a fun experiment (well, fun by beauty editor standards, anyway). I tried to pare my cosmetics down to 10 items. I did it to clear clutter, of course, but also because I think it's a good way to determine which products are really working for me. Hopefully the 11 (in the end, I couldn't choose just 10) well-loved products you see here inspire you to: a) clean b) try new products that may just turn out to be your must-haves, too c) re-assess your stash or d) all of the above.
From left to right:
• Elizabeth Arden Smoky Eyes Powder Pencil in Espresso (glides on effortlessly, stays on beautifully)
• Olay CC Cream—Total Effects Tone Correcting Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 15 (skincare and protection in one, what's not to love?)
• Curel Ultra Healing Lotion (quite possibly the most emollient body lotion on the market)
• BeneFit They're Real Mascara (all the better to flirt sans clumps
• Clarisonic Mia 2 (because I no longer feel I've washed my face well if I don't use it)
• Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream (quite simply the lightest, yet most nourishing eye salve)
• Nexxus Pro-Mend Shampoo and Conditioner (you can not beat the smell, feel, and results for the price)
• Cover Girl and Olay Simply Ageless Corrector (despite prolific use of eye cream, sometimes a girl needs a killer under-eye concealer)
• And lastly, although they're pricey, my two all-time favorite perfumes (I imagine one might get a bit smelly on a desert island!)—Dior Patchouli Impérial and Giorgio Armani Rose D'Arabie.
I'd love to hear your DIPs (desert-island products)!

Interview with Pat Kirkham
What brought you to the BGC?
My connection goes back to the BGC's formation when I was part of a team of British academics and curators consulted by Susan Weber. The idea of a specialist center for the study of the history of the decorative arts intrigued me and I agreed to serve on the Advisory Board of Studies in the Decorative Arts, writing book reviews and keeping in touch that way.I came here at Dr. Weber's invitation when she was first planning the PhD program and needed experienced faculty, especially ones with experience of PhD supervision in this relatively new field. Ken Ames was appointed at the same time. I felt happy knowing that he shared my interest in material culture studies. I left my position as Professor of Design History and Cultural Studies at De Montfort University and joined the BGC in August 1996.
What are your areas of interest?
Over the last thirty years my research interests have moved somewhat, mainly from the 18th century to the 19th and 20th and from European to American and European. My current research interests include American Modernism, especially interiors, products, films and graphics, interior design history, design in film, the gendering of objects and the intersection of issues of gender and class, the impact of Japanese culture on the USA in the post World War II period, and the visual and material culture of suffrage.
How does your work fit in the BGC mission?
In my research and teaching I have a strongly interdisciplinary approach (my BA and PhD are in history and as an undergraduate I also studied sociology), drawing on what I think are some of the most fruitful aspects of the disciplines/fields of cultural studies, film and media studies, sociology, history, material cultures studies, design history (which in Britain is close to material culture studies, as can be seen by the mission of the Journal of Design History). I have undertaken teaching and research projects not only with other historians but also sociologists, ethnographers, feminist theorists, film and television studies specialists and art historians.
What do you hope to pass on to your students?
I would like to think that I pass on to my students a love of, and enthusiasm for, history, objects, and documents and the complex relationships between them as well as a passion for challenging orthodoxies, engaging in debate, and breaking down disciplinary barriers.Back to top

This is a very satisfying cake. I made it in a bundt pan and it rose beautifully. I served it with Earlyglow strawberries and my best balsamic. I took the liberty of adding a dollop of a mixtue of lightly sweetened whipped cream and sour cream. The reading circle liked it very much!!

ScummC is a set of tools to create SCUMM adventure games, allowing to create 100% free games that run on the popular ScummVM engine.
The ScummC suite comprises editors and compilers to combine images, costumes, background boxes, fonts, sounds and game code to complete adventure games.
ScummC takes a developer's approach: most of the tools are commandline-based, the build process uses UNIX makefiles, source files are plain text, and the ScummC programming language is modeled after C (hence the name).
ScummC version 0.2.0 has been released as of 12-Apr-2008. The newly added demo game OpenQuest is now playable in ScummVM. Both releases are available for download.
Most of the features offered by SCUMM v6 are now supported, and it is possible to build small, but fully playable SCUMM games. However, there is still a lot to do: improve the language, better document SCUMM and ScummC, increase tool usability, improve the v7 support, finish the debugger, etc.
Help of fellow developers, SCUMM experts and the larger adventure community is much appreciated.
For source and binary downloads, see the ScummC Releases and Git Repository page.
For a quick peek, screenshots of tools and sample games are available on the ScummC Screenshots page.
Up to now, version 6 of SCUMM was targeted, mainly because of its good support in ScummVM at the time ScummC started. However, this engine is quite limited, particulary in terms of graphics. There is now an initital v7 support and v8 should hopefully follow some day.
For the TODO list see ScummC TODO.
Thanks to Gna! there is now a ScummC mailing list, see the mailing lists page.
The lists can also be used via the Gmane interface, we are in the gmane.games.devel.scumm.scummc group.
ScummC itself doesn't have much documentation currently, but that's changing a bit:
For this project, some documentation of the SCUMM engine is needed. There are some docs available but they're very limited. So along the path I'm keeping notes on nearly everything I find out about the engine. Nearly all the information I have has come from the ScummVM code.
Patches are always welcome, make sure they follow the guidelines and post them as attachements to the scummc-general list, gzip them only if they are really big (i.e. several 100KB).

Whitehead's 'cops and battle tanks' is pure fluff
I am responding in regards to John Whitehead's article on "Why do local cops need battle tanks?" The article was written on a pure liberal-pacifist level.
As a retired law enforcement officer with over 21 years of experience, I can assure your readers that Whitehead's article is purely fluff with no substance.
Many of the items such as the MRAPs that he refers to in his article are being incorporated by Special Response Teams and SWAT teams throughout the country.
Mr. Whitehead asks what use these tactical tools have in American policing. Obviously he missed the incidents in Newtown, Columbine, and Boston, etc.
I find it not only absurd but incredibly ignorant for him to complain about a town in Maine purchasing eight tactical vests.
I am confident that the vests that he was referring to are level 4A tactical vests. Those ballistic vests are and should be worn by tactical teams which make entry for search warrants and arrest warrants. They have the capability to stop rounds from high powered long guns.
If Mr. Whitehead or anyone else questions the validity of the need for these types of vest, I encourage him to research the case of Deputy Todd Fatta, a Broward County Florida deputy who was killed in the line of duty.
Deputy Fatta and his team of officers were ambushed while serving a search warrant on a suspected child pedophile in Fort Lauderdale. Deputy Fatta was not wearing a level 4A vest and was killed by the subject.
As a result of Deputy Fatta's death, Broward County Sheriff's Office was sued by his wife and was awarded $10 million. Part of the lawsuit was based on the officers not being sufficiently trained and equipped.
I ask Mr. Whitehead or any of his followers as to what price they put on a police officer's life? Mr. Whitehead further states, "growing numbers of unarmed civilians shot by police during relatively routine encounters and in the use of SWAT teams to carry out relatively routine tasks."
As having served hundreds of narcotics search warrants, I can personally tell Mr. Whitehead that no search warrant should be considered routine. Entering a suspect's domain is the most dangerous aspect in law enforcement. Officers are entering into the unknown and are at an extreme disadvantage.
Many law enforcement agencies across the country are falling into the trap of using a matrix to classify search warrants as either "High Risk" or "Low Risk" warrants.
These decisions [to] classify warrants is a dangerous gamble which has resulted in the deaths of officers such as Deputy Fatta. The end result is that officers pay with their lives, their families pay for their loss and the agencies pay in civil lawsuits for inadequately providing officers with needed equipment and training.
Citizens can be assured that law enforcement agencies utilizing specialized equipment are doing so for the sole purpose of protecting their officers and the public.
I am pretty confident that Mr. Whitehead would be writing a different tune if one of these armored vehicles was utilized in a hostage rescue event of one of his family members.

"Citizens can be assured that law enforcement agencies utilizing specialized equipment are doing so for the sole purpose of protecting their officers and the public."
Riiight. Nice try, Kojak. The last thing we need is for braindead, jackbooted Rambo-wannabes to have military equipment.
"I ask Mr. Whitehead or any of his followers as to what price they put on a police officer's life?" Let's not glamorize and heroicize the bottom 20% of the high school class and put them on a pedestal as if they can do no wrong. The scariest part of the Islamic terrorist attack in Boston wasn't the actual bombing but the tactical response of the police department as they rolled down the streets in their military vehicles and went door-to-door searching people's homes.
"Entering a suspect's domain is the most dangerous aspect in law enforcement. Officers are entering into the unknown and are at an extreme disadvantage." Not really. That's why they execute no-knock warrants. The element of surprise gives them a massive advantage. Just ask Kathryn Johnston, the 92 year old woman who was shot and killed by the APD in a "botched" drug raid.

I purchased this after reading positive reviews and am very impressed. The price is great and the product even better. I like the pump and need only a few pumps to saturate a cotton ball that I then use to wipe away my eye make up. This is not greasy but still effective at removing all of my eye make up, including eye liner and waterproof mascara. I don't feel any stinging as I have with other eye makeup removers and this hasn't irritated my eyes otherwise. Definitely a keeper.
I have been trying many eye makeup removers and didn't like any of them - until I tried this. It almost melts off my makeup even waterproof mascara. Does not burn or sting my eyes. Does not feel overly oily. My only complaint is what others have already mentioned - the packaging is horrible. The pump is bad design. I often end up with the product in my sink because the pump missed part of my cotton ball. I also think it's slightly expensive but considering how well it worked I'm willing to pay it.
I've only had this as free gifts in giftbags, I don't think id buy the full size. I wear a lot of eye makeup and had to work quite hard to remove it all, however I suppose its better than scrubbing with a baby wipe!

Love this eye makeup remover, I have just got out of the bad habit of taking all my makeup off with a wipe and bought a whole regime from No7 and I got to say I do love their stuff. I use this to remove all my eye makeup (Believe me I wear a lot, eyebrow wax, eyebrow powder, eye shadow (natural) Eyeliner (darkest you can get) and mascara (Benefit Theyre real) so yeah that is quite a lot, and this remover is gentle and doesnt sting my eyes (like I have found with previous make up removers) the mascara and make up comes of nicely! And the price is good £7.75 from boots which I think is a fantastic price for the quantity you get. My HG eye makeup remover for sure!
Beautifully moisturises the eye area after using it! even gives a little glitter, it feels very soft. As a habit though I do soften any mascara with water first so that lashes dont fall, then I apply a small amount on a cotton wool (not pad) and Taa Daa!
To let you know i have sensative combination skin (Oily around my T-Zone area and lids. Dry around my cheeks and forhead)
I got the deluxe sample of No7 Cleanse & Care Eye Make-up Remover 30ml as part of a set of gifts with purchase.
When i first used the product i had to shake it before using it because the oil is separated then i applied/squeezed (Since it doesnt spread out easily like a watery cleanser should do hence you need to use alot of product to spread it) on a cotton pad after that i applied the cotton pad on my eye for 1 minute then rub it off gently.
Ive been using it since 19/5/2011 so far so good plus i love how it removes glitter with one gentle rub compare to Calrins Instant Eye Make-Up Remover. I will be purchasing this product again for sure.
Aqua, Isohexadecane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane,
Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Panthenol, Propylene Glycol,
Methylparaben, Sodium PCA, Centaurea Cyanus, Citrullus vulgaris,

Sorbitol, Sodium methylparaben, Sodium butylparaben Preservative
Phenoxyethanol, Sodium ethylparaben, Sodium propylparaben
Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, FD&C Blue #1
Finished the entire product. Overall this product didn't cause my any break outs or sting my eyes and it removed all my makeup even gitters but i do notice if i gently remove my mascara with a cotton pad one lash will fall off so i suggest using a cotton bud instead. love it!!

Not bad. Pretty effective at removing eye makeup and does not irritate my eyes. However this does just as good a job at eye makeup removal as Vaseline.
I would buy it again IF it were on sale.
This product does the job it should do and it can clear the makeup compeletly. My only little unhappyness about this product is, it leaves a little bit oil film on the face, not as good as Chanel.
This is a product with as many pros as cons for me. Pro's: it removes eye make up well, even heavy eye make up, it's not particularly greasy compared to others ive used, it's reasonably priced compared to other high end brands.
Cons: the packaging is beyond useless, you have to pump continuously to get any of the product out, it's clumsy and unreliable in it's design, the packaging is cheap and tacky looking IMO. This fault really puts me off using this product, esp as im usually trying to pump more out whilst one eyed as im covering one with a cotton pad to remove the make up. I find it very fiddly and very annoying. I have emailed boots about my concerns so lets hope others have too and then maybe they will look into changing the packaging, fingers crossed!
Overall, i will buy again as the product is effective. im living in the middle east now, however, my mum often picks up products for me with the promotional 5GBP voucher you get over in the Uk so at 2.50GBP it's a bargain!
To be frank, when I purchased this I was expecting much and when I used it it was actually WORSE than I expected. I usually use my trusty Lancome Bi-Facil to remove my eye makeup or if I can't splurge I use Johnson's eye makeup remover pads and they work out far better than this.At times, it would leave an oily residue behind,dry on my eye lids and looks all jacked up on my eye lids i.e flaking, ashiness etc. (I have dry-very dry skin during winter) But I won't blame it on the eye makeup remover beacuse as previously mentioned I have dry skin, anything is bound to happen, I feel that it takes longer than usual to take off my eye makeup, it does the job but I'm not completely sold on it, Won't be a product I will be repurchasing, I'd rather spend it on the Johnsons eye makeup remover pads...

Senior Corps Week – May 19-23 – honors Senior Corps volunteers for "Making A Difference for Generations" and encourages more communities to harness the talent and skill of American 55+
Story Submitted
The Corporation for National and Community Service is joining with organizations across the country to honor the powerful impact of Senior Corps volunteers and encourage more Americans 55+ to serve their communities through the fifth annual Senior Corps Week, taking place May 19-23.
For more than four decades Senior Corps volunteers have used their lifetime of skills and experience to meet community needs. Today more than 500,000 volunteers age 55+ provide 98+ million hours of service estimated to be worth more than $2 billion through Senior Corps' three programs – Foster Grandparents, Senior Companions and RSVP. "At a time of increased need and declining resources, volunteers age 55 and over are stepping in to fill in the gaps," said Wendy Spencer, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service. "Today, more than ever, communities need the talents and skills of all Americans to help move this nation forward. Senior Corps volunteers are delivering enormous social and economic benefits to our communities and demonstrating that service is good for the nation and those who serve."
In addition to helping others, older volunteers are also helping themselves by living active, healthy lives through volunteering. A growing body of research points to mental and physical health benefits associated with volunteering, including lower mortality rates, increased strength and energy, decreased rates of depression and fewer physical limitations. With nearly one in every five Americans projected to be age 60 or older by 2030, a great opportunity exists to engage older Americans in service to meet critical community needs while contributing to longer healthier lives.
Last year, nearly 600 volunteers provided over 262,502 hours of service throughout 15 countries in North Florida making a difference in the lives of more than 15,000 individuals. Frail elders received assistance from Senior Companions to remain independent in their homes; young people received tutoring and mentoring from Foster Grandparents that improved their academic performance, self-esteem and overall social behavior; and families received food and housing assistance from retired and senior volunteers that improved their quality of life.
With the theme "Making a Difference for Generations," Senior Corps Week highlights the powerful impact of 55+ volunteers and inspires others to get involved. The initiative recognizes that service by older Americans benefits everyone – it helps volunteers by keeping them active, healthy and engaged; it helps our communities to have millions more skilled volunteers; and it helps our nation by saving taxpayers dollars and strengthening civic participation.
On Friday, May 16, Elder Care Services honored its Senior Companions, Foster Grandparents and RSVP volunteers during this year's 2014 Emancipation Celebration sponsored by Smith-Williams Community Center and the city of Tallahassee Parks & Recreation. Festivities started at 10 a.m., at Tom Brown Park and include a fishing tournament and cookout for people over 55.
Throughout Senior Corps Week, please take a moment to honor the remarkable SCP, FGP and RSVP volunteers serving in our community.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Elder Care Service, Inc., at (850) 921-5554 or visit ecsbigbend.org.
Senior Corps is Federally funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service and sponsored locally by Elder Care Service, Inc., a United Way Agency.

Limestone Confers Over 300 Degrees During Spring Graduation |
Limestone College conferred more than 300 degrees during its Spring commencement exercises held May 10-12, 2012 in the College's Fullerton Auditorium. Graduates represented Limestone's traditional Day Student Program and Extended Campus Classroom and Internet offerings. To see a photo slideshow of the celebration, click here . During Thursday's program, Limestone awarded faculty emeritus status to three of its faculty members-Jay Adams (computer science), Dr. Al Kovelsky (chemistry), and Dr. Tom Thomson (history)-who retired at the end of the Spring semester. In Friday's program, an honorary degree of Bachelor of Arts was presented to the mother of Limestone student Shanon Nicole Coleman of West Columbia, SC. Shanon tragically lost her life in early March when she was struck by a car while crossing an intersection. "Shanon was taken from us prior to completing all of her degree requirements," said Limestone President Dr. Walt Griffin just before presenting the degree to Dina Coleman. "She would have graduated at this commencement and planned to continue her education in the field of musical composition." Many members of the Limestone Class of 2012 received acceptance to notable graduate school programs. Among them are: • Kassi Boedeker of Pheonix, Arizona (Athletic Training); Adams State College |

Today's fiber day, right? At least until we're all collectively disappointed that Google's 10:30 a.m. press conference with Mayor Michael Bloomberg has nothing to do with any plans to bring super fast Internet connectivity to the five boroughs. (Not saying, just trying to manage our own expectations here.)
Well, as long as we're talking fiber optic cables, it's worth looking in on Verizon's travails in lower Manhattan, where the telecom giant is having some trouble replacing wiring damaged during flooding from Superstorm Sandy.
According to The New York Times, Verizon would like to replace its ruined copper wiring with fiber-optic cables, allowing the company to deliver its "triple play" combination of phone, broadband and cable TV services. But building managers aren't playing along: some have barred access outright, while others have demanded Verizon pay fees before technicians are allowed entry. In turn, Verizon has filed a petition with the state's Public Service Commission, citing regulations that block buildings from denying cable companies access.
It's enough to make you wonder, in the name of a fast Internet, can't we all just get along?

"My mother gave me this recipe. She found it while clipping coupons. It is from S&W. This is the best stew I have ever eaten and my family requests me to make it quite frequently. It has become a "comfort food" for us. Perfect to make if you have leftovers after baking a large turkey or chicken. Can be made vegetarian or vegan if desired."
Serving Size: 1 (476 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 5
"This was a very tasty and hearty meal. My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. To save time I used canned chicken and used the broth from the canned chicken. I added additional broth to the mixture due to personal preferences and since the soup was so hearty. We added cheese and sour cream to our individual bowls. Thank you for this recipe!"
"Excellent! I just finished making this and it is addictive!! I made a couple of minor adjustments simply because you do what you have to do… I used Rotel instead of green chiles, I didn't have those on hand. I used a whole 14.5 ounce can of chicken broth because I hate left over stock (I always forget I have it in the freezer and someone will throw it out). The had to cook up the chicken in the soup pot first with salt, pepper and other spices, then added the onions and garlic. Once that was fully cooked I added the rest. Very yummy and really easy to make!!! The Rotel adds a nice zing to it if you like that!! Thanks for sharing!!!"
"Do NOT use left-over turkey! The turkey has too much poultry flavoring which muddles any 'Mexican' taste."
"Instant favorite! Super easy, one-pot meal. Tastes even better on the second day. Freezes very well. Very adaptable recipe. Easily BOOST THE FLAVOR by toasting frozen corn kernals, caramelizing the onions and browning bite-sized pieces of raw chicken breast in the pot before adding all other ingredients. I have made this recipes many times and we like it best with chicken because it has a lighter and fresher taste (than with turkey or beef). I usually add 1 can each of red or white kidney beans, romano beans, and black beans. Green chilies are totally optional; just add a dash of hot sauce for some zing. If you require GLUTEN-FREE and/or LOW SODIUM OPTIONS, you can easily make your own taco seasoning. (Packaged taco seasonings usually contain wheat and have a very high sodium content. Most cooks will have all ingredients to make taco seasoning in their pantry: 1 Tbsp chili pwdr, 1/4 tsp garlic pwdr, 1/4 tsp onion pwdr, 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, 1/4 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt (or less), 1/2 tsp black pepper."
"My husband loved this! We added a little cheese and sour cream on top and ate it with corn bread."
"This was very tasty. We skipped the diced chiles, we're spice lightweights."
"I LOVED this recipe. I made it exactly as is although I did add extra chicken broth to make it a little more soupy. This is a wonderful "base" for possible stews of all kinds. The variations are endless. It is more tomato-y than Mexican in my opinion but EASILY you can add spices of all kinds and it is delicious...which is what makes it so great. It's a basic soup to work from according to your preference...and it is delicious as is! Definitely try this if you love soups and stews as comfort foods. Cheap, economical, easy to make and takes less than 30 minutes."
"We loved this! Great way to use leftover chicken and a fast, easy weeknight meal. You so gotta try this. I'll be making it again and again. Thanks!"
"Awesome! The ONLY change I made was to double the chicken broth/cornstarch mixture since I wanted more of a soup-like consistency. Very much like a WW Tortilla Soup recipe I have posted but much, much faster. Easily ready in 20 minutes."
"I loved this! Only had one can of tomatos, so used some salsa also. Great with corn muffins."
"A keeper.I served it with corn bread, and a dish of sour cream on the side....my son ate his bowl with corn bread, the took another bowl with sour cream and ate it with tortilla chips...needless to say I'll be making this often. Thanks so much for sharing!"
"I made this last night with some leftover Thanksgiving turkey and it was absolutely delicious! My husband loved it. I did have a little extra time so I let it simmer an extra 20 minutes or so. I also served it over rice, to stretch it a little further. For the reviewers who would like to cut down on the salt, McCormick's sells a reduced-sodium taco seasoning - I used one envelope of this and the salt was just right. Thanks for a great recipe!"
"Easy Easy Easy and Fast to make. And healthy too. My husband who took this in his lunch swears that it tastes good cold too. If you buy the onions pre-chopped and the chicken is already cooked, there is less than five minutes prep time. It smells SO good while it is cooking. I like the fact that you can buy the ingredients in bulk and make it at any time. This will become our "comfort food" too."
"I put all the I ingredients(raw) in the crockpot--use the whole can of chicken broth and let it go on low for 7 to 8 hours. I always make sure the chicken and onions go in first. This comes out great with little to no effort."
"Sounds amazing! I love spicey Mexican food and it is really hard to get here in the UK. I am hosting a big 'Texas poker night' and I wanted to make something appropriate so i will do a trial run with this recipe.

Thanks a million for sharing."
"Was delicious!!!"
"Easy comfort food on a cold night! After reading the reviews, I shredded a can of white meat chicken and substituted 1 can Original Rotel tomatoes instead of adding the 4-oz can of chilies. Loved the addition of shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream on top. This will be a good, quick weeknight recipe since I usually have all of the ingredients on hand. Thanks!"
"Very easy and delicious...instead of a packet of taco seasoning, I just looked at the label of one that was lying around and made my own. Rotel is probably a good sub for separate cans of tomatoes/chiles."
"Awesome awesome recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Easy to make and tastes delicious!!!"

Consumer Advisory Bulletin- February 2003
What do you do if that new car or pickup you purchased or leased turns out to be a "lemon" -- a vehicle with a defect or a problem that just can't be fixed, and that makes the vehicle unreliable or unsafe to drive or significantly reduces its value? Iowa's motor vehicle "Lemon Law" may give you the option of obtaining a refund or replacement vehicle.
Iowa's Lemon Law covers a motor vehicle that is still within its "Lemon Law Rights Period" -- that is, the first 24,000 miles or 24 months of use since the first buyer took delivery of the vehicle, whichever expires first. At the time you buy or lease a new vehicle, manufacturers are required to notify you in writing of your Lemon Law rights and of the address and phone number where you can file a claim with the manufacturer.
The Lemon Law requires manufacturers or dealers to give you a fully-itemized statement of any diagnosis made and all work performed on the vehicle each time you take it to the repair shop. And, if you ask, they also must give you a copy of any manufacturer's service bulletins on that year and model vehicle.
Protect your investment by keeping a complete record of repairs. Keep a simple log listing any problems, and the dates and times of all repairs. Your vehicle may qualify for replacement or for a refund under the Lemon Law if any of the following apply:
If you think you have purchased or leased a vehicle which might qualify for a refund or replacement under the Lemon Law, contact the Attorney General's office for a Lemon Law information packet (also available on the Attorney General's web site.) It includes details about how a vehicle qualifies as a "Lemon," how to exercise your Lemon Law rights, a sample notification letter to send the manufacturer (as you must do under the law), and contact information for motor vehicle manufacturers and their dispute resolution programs. Many Lemon Law disputes are resolved informally or through the dispute resolution process. Note: Although the Attorney General's office can provide helpful information, you will need to contact a private attorney if it's necessary to enforce your Lemon Law rights in court.
For more information, go to: Iowa Lemon Law or call 515-281-5926 and ask for Lemon Law information.

Looks like some dependencies are missing from Amazon MP3 Downloader. I Googled, but couldn't find a working solution (there are a few blog posts, but they are old).
What steps do I need to follow to install it correctly?
Generally the Amazon downloader is always "behind the times" and frequently doesn't work on the most current version of a linux OS. You might, instead, try pymazon which is why I've been using for downloading Amazon purchases. It might be available in your package manager already (my Ubuntu machine isn't turned on at the moment or I'd test it for you; it is packaged in Fedora). |
Do you specifically need the Amazon MP3 Downloader? Otherwise, Banshee supports Amazon MP3 Downloads since version 1.7.2. |
The current release of Amazon MP3 downloader for Ubuntu supports Ubuntu 9.10. For newer versions, here are complete instructions: |
The Amazon MP3 package requires a fairy old set of audio packages to install. These packages are no longer in the normal repositories, so you can download the required packages either from the Ubuntu Hardy Heron repository at packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/. I've made an archive on dropbox, here's the link but you don't have to trust me and can get them yourself through searching. For reference, the packages are |

The new play park at Slades Farm is now open, and is proving very popular. The park has several pieces of play equipment - a zip wire, roundabout, slide, swings, a young children's play trail, a tree house and picnic tables. The tree house is the first of its kind in a Bournemouth park.
The facility is located to the south of the community centre, and is another boost to the area, following the launch of the Olympic-sized cycle track in 2011.
The new play park has received funding of £50 000 from developer contributions, a grant from the Primary Care Trust, and Council funding for playgrounds.

If you like the itinerary below please quote REF AFRICA 155 when enquiring for further details.
Alternatively you may like modify this trip with your own Holiday Wish List
Welcome to Namibia! Arrive at Windhoek International Airport, we'll be there to meet you. Onward transfer to your hotel and remainder of the day is at leisure.
Today you set off on your Namibian adventure. Heading south drive along the Auob River and visit the Kokerboom Forest (quiver tree), these extrordinary looking trees are used by the Bushmen (San) of the region to make quivers for their poisoned arrows. Then it's onwards to Keetmanshoop, a quaint German town originally founded in 1866.
One of the most famous and extraordinary sights to behold in Southern Namibia is the Fish River Canyon. Considered to be second in size only to the Grand Canyon, it reaches a depth in parts of 550m and is approximately 160 kilometres in length. During the drier months the river is reduced to a mere trickle if not completely dry, in the wet months it can rise to a raging torrent. This afternoon you arrive in Luderitz.
Luderitz is a hidden gem on the South-West coast of Namibia, having one of the best harbours on one of the most inhospitable coasts. Founded in 1883 and experiencing a diamond boom in 1909 in nearby Kolmanskop it flourished briefly before the diamond mine shut down, Kolmanskop is now a truly eerie experience having been reduced to a ghost town, fighting a constant battle as the desert tries to reclaim it. Luderitz itself is a charming town seemingly frozen in the early 20th Century as little development occured after the collapse of the diamond industry. The main industry is now fishing resulting in many fine seafood restaurants lining the small harbour.
Arriving in Aus, a small town located in the Aus Mountains above the Namib Desert, considered to be the world's oldest and most beautiful desert. Aus was once the site of a prisoner of war camp for German soldiers during World War I, the camp was closed during 1919 and the town went back to relative obscurity.
Today visit the awesome Namib Naukluft National Park - home of the striking red and apricot-coloured dunes at Sossusvlei. With spines whipped so sharply and perfectly into place by the wind, you'll want to race (or stagger..) up the famed Dune 45, reputedly one of the highest dunes in the world. Afterwards visit the eerie Dead Vlei, an area of trees that died centuries ago, but due to there being so little moisture for normal composition to occur, they are perfectly preserved, seemingly frozen in time. Today enjoy a 4x4 excursion through the region.
Enjoy two days of leisure in the resort town of Swakopmund. There is plenty to fill your time here from extreme sports, water sports, more desert exploration or for something different a round of golf at the Rossmund Desert Golf Course located just outside the city - one of only 5 all grass desert golf courses in the world!
After breakfast return to Namibia's Capital - Windhoek for your onward transfer to the airport. Tour arrangements come to an end.

Officers arrested Tina Marie Bublitz, 40, of Houston, for fourth-degree driving while impaired, fifth-degree possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Bublitz was stopped for speeding. Deputies said she appeared to be intoxicated, and noticed what appeared to be a bag of marijuana in her vehicle. Officers searched the vehicle and found bags containing marijuana, cocaine, oxycodone, and clonazepam. Bublitz failed a field sobriety test although a preliminary breath test indicated she had not been drinking. The results of the blood test recently came in, indicating Bublitz was under the influence of cocaine, amphetamines, and methamphetamine, according to the report.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Edie!
Facts about Edie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Edie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, not good with dogs, and good with cats.
E-D-I-E spells LOVE! Okay, not really, but it should, because Edie is about as loving as they come. Edie is a beautiful mustached tuxedo girl who would make the most perfect family pet! Edie is super affectionate, playful, friendly and above all else loving. Edie is content to pass the hours purring noisily on your lap. Really, with Edie, you can't go wrong!
As with all FOCAS cats, Edie has been spayed/neutered, micro chipped, vaccinated and has tested negative for FIV/FELV
To meet Edie, please call 1 760 960-7293 or go directly to the Encinitas Petsmart located at 1034 No. El Camino Real, Encinitas, Ca. 92024. Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday 5-8 pm, Saturday and Sunday 12-3 pm and 5-7 pm. Or you may follow http://www.focas-sandiego.org/ to fill out an online application!
Other Pets at Friends of County Animal Shelters - Encinitas
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Edie, a Encinitas Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Encinitas, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Encinitas.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Encinitas 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 Encinitas 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Encinitas paves the way for another one to be saved.
