"Amen!" shouts McBurney.
"That is Christianity as it has been known for thousands of years!" Enyart goes on. "And that is why we call for the swift, painful and immediate execution of every convicted murderer!"
Another "Amen!" from McBurney. When they untie him, Nellis slumps dramatically to the top of the trailer. But the effect is apparently lost on the TV people. Most of them turn off their cameras and walk away. Several college-age kids looking on are more interested, but mainly because of the ridiculousness of the whole thing; one student yells, "Give him some water, dude!"

One other bystander -- Judy Shepard, Matthew Shepard's mother -- seems considerably less amused. She watches the skit stoically from the window of the courthouse. Then she turns and walks away.
At the height of his post-spanking notoriety, Enyart moved his TV show, Bob Enyart Live, to LeSea Broadcasting's South Bend, Indiana, base of operations and began to expand; by last year, he was on approximately eighty stations around the country. But his reputation for butt-thrashing could take him only so far, and when some of his primary affiliates began moving the show to the wee hours of the morning, he realized that the overhead could soon drive him into bankruptcy. So he pulled the plug on the national broadcast and, after a brief attempt to go local at KRMT/Channel 41 earlier this year, dropped that as well, deciding instead to try to subsist almost entirely on the Internet. But that presents a little problem: How do you make computer types sufficiently curious to check out your site?
The answer was O.J., and the man who brought the plan of torching some of his keepsakes to fruition was McBurney, a former musician (one of his bands was called the Rents, "because we were due, man!") and drug addict ("I bought the hippies' lies") who wound up on Enyart's payroll in 1997 and now has an Internet talk show of his own -- The Weekly Worldview -- that's archived Fridays on www.shadowgov.com.
On February 15 this year, the day before the O.J. auction that was intended to compensate the families of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman for their wrongful deaths, McBurney arrived in Los Angeles and went to the fire department to get permission for the display. "He said, 'There's no way this is going to happen tomorrow. You need permits; there are environmental concerns.' I was depressed."
But McBurney didn't give up, and he was aided in his quest by a key factor: A good many folks in L.A. law enforcement thought further humiliating O.J. was an excellent idea. A note of support from a judge sliced through acres of red tape, and suddenly what had seemed impossible only hours earlier was going to happen. When they wound up obtaining a jersey, McBurney notes, "Bob was petrified; he said he'd seen protests of people trying to burn things and they wouldn't catch. You'd end up with just a little smoke, and that's it." Worse, they were told they couldn't use accelerants like gasoline. So they taped newspapers inside it, and "it was beautiful," McBurney rhapsodizes. "It was a pyre!"
It was also a public-relations coup for ShadowGov: "People thought we were crazy to spend $25,000 on something just to burn it up, but we got millions of dollars in free advertising for doing it," McBurney says.
Enyart was so revved up by the national coverage the stunt received that he immediately came up with a new, even more ambitious gambit -- to stage hundreds of protests from coast to coast against Bill Clinton in the wake of accusations by Juanita Broaddrick that he had raped her in the late Seventies. Using mailing lists to round up the faithful, Enyart soon had hundreds of people all over the country ready to do his bidding.
A random sampling of the mainly Caucasian, overwhelmingly male participants shows that while some of the demonstrations -- like one in Denver that attracted around 300 people, and Enyart's New Zealand excursion, which generated headlines throughout the region -- had a considerable impact, others left the world thoroughly unshaken.
Along with a couple of friends, Joshua White, a twenty-year-old Honolulu resident, protested every Saturday for two months, but never wound up on local TV or in newspapers ("People aren't very political in Hawaii," he says.) Ken Branvall of Johnson City, New York, protested just once, in the middle of a snowstorm, before raising the white flag. Anchorage, Alaska's Rusty Holmes also saw his two protests negatively impacted by the weather; in the end, he realized that Enyart was employing a limited protest strategy that can't stack up to the one employed by an organization with which he feels more in tune, the John Birch Society.
Greenwood, Indiana's David Oeschle didn't have much more success with his anti-Clinton rally; a smallish item in a community newspaper was the best he and his helpers could manage. But more so than White, Branvall or Holmes, Oeschle illustrates the power Enyart has to inspire loyalty among his followers. Oeschle was openly gay from 1983 to 1995, when he learned from Bob Enyart Live just how sick and twisted he was.

Volunteer with ForestWatch
Volunteers of all ages are the backbone of our organization. Our weekend warriors are battling against invasive plants, tearing down relic barbed wire fencing, and picking up small pieces of trash that are harmful to young – and critically endangered – California condors. It's our way of giving something back to the places we love, while getting our hands dirty and directly improving wildlife habitat and recreation areas in our local backcountry.
More than 500 volunteers are involved with ForestWatch, and our strength in numbers produces big results. More than 12,000 pounds of trash have been hauled off the forest by our volunteers, over 40 miles of streams have been surveyed for invasive plants like tamarisk, and more than 15 miles of old fencing have been removed from the Carrizo Plain National Monument. With the fences gone, pronghorn antelope and other wildlife are less vulnerable to predators, reclaiming the freedom to roam across this vast landscape.
Yet we also rely on volunteers behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly. We take on volunteers to help us with office tasks that include fundraising, data entry, event preparation, and mailing parties. Additionally, our events could not happen without the help of volunteers and we always need help at events with check-ins, food service, bar tending, and preparation.
Join us now
We need your help! Click the button below or contact ForestWatch at email@example.com or 805.617.4610 ext. 3 to join our list of dedicated, fun-loving, adventurous volunteers today. You'll receive announcements monthly about upcoming events and ways to get involved.

Khloe is the only family member from the Kardashian clan that we would actually want to hang out with. She is witty, irreverent and fun. She is fiercely loyal and will defend the people she loves to the death. Most importantly, she knows how ridiculous her family is and it's like she's in on the joke with us.
So, cheers to you Khloe! Thanks for being the one Kardashian we don't think could be a complete fabrication.

It would allow for greater control if the licensing for Vault worked like the licensing for the rest of the product line. Vault licenses should be checked out by the user instead of the ADMS. There's lots of questions about finding out who has a Vault license, or limiting licenses. But that is not possible at this time.
Add the ability to split licenses into groups. I would like to reserve a certain number of seats for my CAD group and allow the remainder to be shared among the rest of the company. This would prevent the heaviest users from being locked out by casual users who may log on to perform a 30 second review but not log out.
You can do this with an adskflex.opt options file. I have a whole KB article about this in my Signature line.
Note that this may not necessarily work for Vault since the ADMS checks out the license. So in fact, your idea should really be implemented.
This would allow the functionality I need.
See my post here: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Vault-Idea-
Travis is correct. While we can do this in the options file for desktop CAD products, we are unable to do this with the Vault product.
I belive anyone who has had to trackdown who has a license checked out by visting several offices and buildings would appreciate this enhancement
We need this feature, ASAP!!

Naval battle that reaffirmed Portuguese dominion of the Indian Ocean. Diu is a small island with a sheltered anchorage, three to four fathoms in depth, at the mouth of the Gulf of Cambay (Khambhat). Diu is separated from the mainland of Gujarat by narrow shallows.
After Vasco da Gama opened the sea route from Portugal around Africa to India in 1498, the Portuguese sought to control the flow of trade, generally through force. They cowed local princes into concessions, but many fought back, including the ruler of Calicut and the Muslim shah and Gujarati merchants of Cambay. Arab traders, who had long dominated the westbound trade of India, sought assistance from the Mamluk sultan of Egypt against the Portuguese Christian interlopers. In 1508 the Mamluks, with the help of Ragusan shipwrights, constructed six armed round ships and six war galleys at Suez and sent them to aid the Gujaratis.
Thus far the Portuguese had prevailed. They usually sailed in line with their big carracks and handier caravels, depending on cannon to avoid boarding fights and beating their more numerous but less well gunned foes. In 1502 Vasco da Gama defeated the fleet of Calicut and established his base of operations at Cochin. In 1508 Lourenço de Almeida, son of the Portuguese viceroy of India and a brilliant naval commander, defeated off Chaul (near Bombay) a Malay fleet from Malacca. Soon after, the combined Gujarati and Egyptian fleet, including the ships and galleys from Suez, cornered and overwhelmed Almeida's fleet at Chaul. Almeida was killed.
Viceroy Francisco de Almeida mobilized all available forces to avenge his son's death and recover Portuguese control of the Indian Ocean. To prevent interference, he detained his appointed successor, Afghans de Albuquerque. With 19 ships and caravels, and over 1,200 men, mostly Portuguese, Almeida sailed from Cochin, bombarding hostile ports en route. On 21 February 1509, he caught the combined Egyptian Gujarati fleet, along with allies from Calicut, in the anchorage at Diu.
In the Portuguese epic The Lusiads (Os Lusíadas, 1572) Luis de Camoens, himself a later veteran of service in India, vividly describes Almeida's triumph. Almeida used his cannon to good effect to scatter the motley fleet of Calicut, smash the "cautious" Egyptian galleys of Malik Yaz, then shoot up and board the Gujarati ships of Mir Hussein, filling the bay with dismembered bodies. In one bloody action Almeida shattered Muslim naval power in the western Indian Ocean. It was a victory of better-gunned sailing ships over a larger fleet of galleys and smaller vessels in confined waters and lacking the support of fortifications.
At Jiddah in 1517 the overconfidant Portuguese would encounter galleys backed by forts and meet defeat. The Portuguese did not occupy Diu until 1535, and then by treaty with Bahadur Shah of Gujarat. Fortified, it withstood massive sieges in 1538 and 1545.
Almeida's victory at Diu provided the foundation on which Albuquerque consolidated Portugal's Asian empire.
Affonso d' Albuquerque, (1453–1515)
Portuguese duke and governor general of the Portuguese empire in Asia. Born in 1453 in Alhandra, of a family with a long tradition of close service to the Portuguese kings, Affonso d'Albuquerque pursued a military career. He fought in North Africa and participated in the capture of Tangier in 1471. He subsequently became master of horse to King John II.
Albuquerque is best remembered as architect of the Portuguese empire in Asia. He commanded five ships under the first Viceroy of the Estado da India, the Duke of Almeida. Albuquerque himself became governor in 1508. His strategy for advancing the Portuguese position in Asia was to control optimal positions along the South and Southeast Asian sea lanes. After their victory over the Mameluke fleet in the 21 February 1509 Battle of Diu, the Portuguese were in a position to dominate Asian maritime shipping. Chinese tribute fleets had been withdrawn several decades earlier, and there was then no dominant naval power.
Albuquerque began to implement his strategy by taking the city of Goa in 1509. The next goal was to seize Malacca, the most fabled of Asian entrepôts, located on the Malaysian peninsula astride the Strait of Malacca, the sea route between India and China.
Albuquerque undertook the task himself, and his troops routed the Malaccan sultan and his elephants in 1511. Albuquerque permitted his troops to loot the city for 24 hours only, showing a restraint that he hoped would permit local trade to continue under Portuguese direction. En route back to Goa, Albuquerque's ship, the Flor de la Mar, was wrecked and much of Malacca's treasure was lost.
Before leaving Malacca, Albuquerque dispatched missions to seek out the Chinese coast and the Spice Islands. His intended chain of "factories," by which he hoped to control the trade of the Indian Ocean, eventually stretched from the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf to the Spice Islands. He established fortifications on the islands of Socotra and Ternate, and at the cities of Hormuz, Malacca, and Cochin. The only gap in this chain was the Red Sea; Socotra was too far from shore to control its entrance, and the capture of cliff-top Aden remained impracticable.
In a few short years, then, Albuquerque achieved effective control of most of the South Asian maritime trade routes for Portugal. He died on 15 December 1515 at sea while returning to Goa from Hormuz, after being replaced as governor by his enemy Lope Soares.

Bear Stearns Comments on Proposed Sat Radio Merger
New York - Jun 1, 2007 - In a stock trading report on Sirius Satellite Radio, Bear Stearns included some comments on the proposed satellite radio merger. The comments are not necessarily a part of the investment report, but the company is addressing many questions about the merger and its potential effects on the investment.
Bear Sterns states that it believes that the merger still has the potential to pass for three reasons. First, it states that there is little Washington opposition to merger. It cites the example of the attempted Echostar/Hughes (Directv) in 2002 that was surrounded by negative sentiment. Bear Sterns says that this is not the case from speaking with its contacts. The report states, "Besides the NAB's overt funding of 'independent reports,' the negative outcry has been tame by comparison. We think the public would see much more negative press by interested parties if the level of negativity were the same as the DBS merger proposal."
It's second reason says that Wall Street doesn't give enough credit to the DOJ and Congress. Bear Sterns contacts indicate that they are keenly aware of the NAB's maneuverings, and that "the NAB 'doth protest too much,' and may be hurting its own agenda on satellite radio further."
The third reason given is that the FCC is simply waiting at this point instead of asking for public comment on the merger, which would trigger the 180-day clock on the subject. According to Bear Sterns, "We think that if the FCC were out to kill the deal from the start that they would have already started the clock. We believe the tie up is the statement in the original license that stipulated one entity could not own both licenses."
The investment consultant forecasts three ways that the FCC could handle the matter.
1. Waive the Requirement that one entity could not own both licenses. Bear Sterns believes that this would expose the FCC to a lawsuit.
2. Review the Requirement -- Expedited Process. The FCC could open for public commentary the requirement and rule on it along with the merger.
3. Review the Requirement -- Long Process. Similar to option 2, but could take up to two or three years to complete. Bear Sterns believes that this would be a difficult choice for the FCC because it would "effectively kill the deal before any DOJ ruling." The consultant expects that Sirius and XM would walk away and potentially sue if this option were taken.
Bear Sterns believes that the second possibility is the most likely, and if the Dept. of Justice approves the merger, that the FCC will allow the merger but include certain restrictions.

The Devils in the Details: March 31 – April 6
Click the Image Above for High-Res Version
The Devils in the Details will be a weekly post, looking back on the stats from your New Jersey Devils in their past week of play. Games between Sunday and Saturday from every week will be highlighted, with stats like Goals, Assists, PIM, Shots, etc. being the main focus. This week, we take a look at the Devils between March 31 and April 6, a week where the Devils offensive troubles worsened, and the team went 0-3-0 in their games against the Islanders, Bruins, and Maple Leafs. The losses put the Devils 3 points out of a playoff spot with 10 games remaining in the season, so the Devils will have their work cut out for them in the coming weeks.
Game 34: New Jersey Devils at Tampa Bay Lightning
Game Time: 7:30 PM
Radio: 660 WFAN AM, 101.9 FM
For the first and only time this season, the New Jersey Devils (15-11-7) will travel to Tampa Bay to face-off against the Lightning (14-18-1). The previous two meetings between the teams were split, with the Devils winning the first game 4-2, and the Lightning taking the second contest 5-2. The Devils will look to bounce back from a 3-2 shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators, while the Lightning will look to continue their strong play at home.
ECSF Game 3 Recap: Devils ride the Poni Express to victory
('Poni Express' was submitted by @Dan_Flannel, @SalScialabba and @MichaelPacholek)
Three stars of the game:
3rd star: Daniel Briere (Goal, assist)
2nd star: Ilya Kovalchuk (Goal, 2 assists)
1st star: Alexei Ponikarovsky (Game winning OT goal, assist)
There's been an ongoing trend in these playoffs for both the Flyers and Devils. That trend is that the team who gets off to a good start and scores first doesn't always win. That's been the case in each of the first two games of this series, and it was true again in Game 3 at the Prudential Center. As the puck dropped on Thursday night, it was the visiting Flyers who controlled play in the opening minutes, it was the Flyers who drew the game's first power play and it was the Flyers who scored the game's first goal on the power play. But the Flyers didn't win. So here's how the Devils won Game 3 and took a 2-1 series lead.
Game 81 Recap: Devils finally drink a Cup 'O Joe
(headline by @amazingjr87)
Three stars of the game:
3rd star: Alexei Ponikarovsky (Goal)
2nd star: Jiri Hudler (Red Wings – Assist)
1st star: Martin Brodeur (23 saves)
Well, where to begin?! It seems that so much happened on Thursday night at Joe Louis Arena. First of all, the Devils beat the Red Wings in Detroit for the first time since 1996 (they also won there twice in the spring of 1995 en route to winning the Stanley Cup). If you want some more statistics, keep on reading. But regardless of stats, the Devils went into Joe Louis Arena, which is regarded as one of hockey's toughest buildings to play in, and played a very solid road game, doing something that seemed impossible early in the season: winning in Detroit.

Sale now on at shop.LEGO.com
Posted by Huw,The sale has now started and there are quite a few decent offers to be had. In the USA and Canada, a lot of inventory has been reduced by 20%. The reductions in the UK don't look quite as compelling, but you might find something of interest.
Visit the 'Sales and Deals' page at shop (UK | USA | Canada) or use our Quick Shopper, which is easier to use and easier to filter out all the 'tat' (UK, US and Canada data feeds haven't been updated yet).

How is the Medival Market Village not getting discontinued? I would think by now it would make the list...
Ooh, set 4427 Fire ATV down from 3.99 to 3.59!
These sales (in Europe, or at least in Hungary) are not good at all. Whit these sales the prices are more-or less equal to regular offline toystore prices. In Hungary LEGO S@H is too expensive compared to other sources. The only thing worth buying now is the LEGO Collectors Guide, which is not available in offline toy stores. Unfortunately I bought my copy more than a month ago for full price.
In the past weeks significantly more decent sales have been available at supermarkets in Hungary (Tesco, Auchan, Interspar). Tomorrow I'll go to check those again, prices might been further reduced.
I particularly loved that #10231 Shuttle Expedition which was yesterday showing as Sold Out on the site, is now showing up at Sold Out at the reduced price of 10% off price of £73.79! It seems a bit sucky to put things into "the sale" that are already sold out.
Mosr of the actual building sets can be had significantly cheaper elsewhere most of the time, there are ltos with 10% or less off, just wasted 5 mins looking at this - don't do the same.
More like a "sale" most of the stuff is cheaper at amazon and you also get free shipping. :)
Lego never does any worthwhile sale. I laugh when I see a keychain down from 2.99 to 2.39! Almost everywhere else is cheaper at any given time depending on their offers e.g. buy 3 for 2. Their best sales are actually the AFOL days when you get 15% off. But then it's really only useful for their exclusive sets such as HH or R2-D2.
So, if you want a giggle, have a look on Lego.co.uk to see some sets with £1 off or sometimes £1.49 off!
Same sh** every year. Lego is cheaper in the US all year around so it's only fair they get the bigger discounts, isn't it? I've noticed 2 sets with a 20% discount, the rest are 10%. One is the -sold out- motorised excavator, the other is the PotC set Whitecap bay. At 20% that's still only just below €0.10 per piece...
Let's see if Smyths or Tesco have anything left on their shelves.
Those are some lacklustre deals. I bought the Lego City Tipper Truck from Amazon.co.uk a few weeks ago for £10. That's a 33% discount. LEGO are selling the same truck at a 10% discount and calling it part of their sale. I don't think so.
From what I've seen so far, the sales and deals are pretty disappointing in the uk. Unless they reduce stock further, I can't see myself buying anything too soon.
What a joke. At least in Canada, EVERY SINGLE SET IS SOLD OUT except Naboo Starfighter and THORNRAXX.
Most everything on sale is sold out, so it's not much of a sale.
Here in Italy, average discount is 10%. "Come on, man!"
Wow, what a sale! Every set on sale is also Sold Out!! I can't wait to NOT purchase anything.
Lego never produces decent sales it seems to me, not that I would be buying any of them anyway, roll on the wider release of the new sets! I have my eye on the Star Wars and Super Heroes ones in particular...
Yesterday they had 9 pages of sale items, majority sold out. Now they've reduced it to 4 pages and majority sold out.
Kinda dumb...
I'm pretty sure that these sales items mirror what is on sale in store. So while a lot of these sets might be "sold out" online, your local Lego store might have many of these items in stock. I think it's a way of clearing their inventory out, both online and in store.
I checked the sales and deals page last night and the exact same things were on sale. Did the sale go active at 11:30, or is nothing actually different for today?
@natro220: It's nice for those that have access to a store, best I have is walmart, with TRU an hour away. I rely on Lego.com and expect to be able to order from there, in all fairness.
It should be illegal to put on a sale made up of 95% of sets that are sold out, and were before the same started!
In fairness then, they should just list these sets as "sold out" on their website, and not list them as part of a sale. They should mark down individual sets that stores might still have stock of on a store by store basis. I wouldn't view this really as a "sale" but as inventory clearance of sets that are discontinued.
On LEGO.ca most of the sets on sale are sold-out ... Grabbed the Naboo Starfighter since it's about to get retired and that I haven't seen it anywhere for a while (Walmart, Toysrus ...)
Has anyone else noticed that they reduced the price of sets that have been sold out for weeks? Seriously?
I think the sale started at late Christmas eve. I forgot all about it and pretty much everything is out of stock
Some of those sets I already know were sold out before the sale started. Lego just marked 20% off some of the sets you couldn't even order full price if you wanted to. 20% off in Canadian dollars just means we're paying full American retail plus whatever shipping charges may apply... not exactly an offer worth running to the ATM for.
Everything is almost gone.
Instore could only see a few Ninjago sets marked down and one or two Super Heroes sets (Hulk figure).
Also not sure if this has already been mentioned but noticed today that LEGO Store (Sheffield) were giving away a poly bag with every £50 and over purchase. However as it was so busy, had little ones with me and then didn't!, couldn't make it out. It looked like it could have been blue Legend of Chima bag but don't quote me on that. Back tomorrow by myself, will confirm ;)

Jaguar is trying like crazy to avoid comparing the new range-topping S-type R with the BMW M5, which is kind of hard to do. Both cost more than $60,000, both are mid-size sport sedans, and both have the benefit of very powerful V-8 engines. (At $62,400, the 2003 S-type R is considerably less expensive than this year's $70,545 M5, and, with 388 horsepower versus the BMW's 394, it's close in the power war.)
Yet, as the Jaguar folks point out, the BMW is a harder, more aggressive, more extreme vehicle, a sports car for the person who needs four seats. The Jaguar is still mighty capable and very entertaining, but it's a bit softer, which makes it a better Interstate cruiser. Without a doubt, it's the best car Jaguar makes, an endearing blend of pace and refinement that might finally put the S-type on the map with enthusiasts.
When the S-type came out in 1999, we didn't care for its pastiche of an exterior and its cheap-looking interior, which seemed more Ford parts bin than Jag high style. Since then, design director Ian Callum (and Ford design chief J Mays) must have kicked some butt, because the interior for the '03 S-type is vastly improved, with softer leather and better plastics, improved stowage, more stylish gauges, a new center console with an optional touch-screen navigation system, and new seats. The R, in particular, gets comfortable sixteen-way power seats, a sporty steering wheel and shifter knob, and gray wood trim. The cabin isn't quite up to Audi or BMW standards and lacks the pizazz of old Jags, but it's getting there.
As is the exterior. With a wire-mesh grille, smoked xenon lights, sexy eighteen-inch wheels, color-keyed bumpers, and a rear deck-lid spoiler, the S-type R looks more like it. Despite some changes last year that helped to clean up the shape, we still think the S-type's look has aged quickly. Then again, customers rate the styling as their primary reason for buying the car, so our criticism probably doesn't hold much sway at Jaguar's Browns Lane factory or at Ford's Premier Automotive Group headquarters in Irvine, California.
In an attempt to keep weight down, the dashboard crossbeam and seat frames are cast magnesium, and aluminum is used for the front upper and lower control arms and steering knuckles. The front and rear suspension subframes have been reworked, and all V-8 S-types get the ZF 6HP26 six-speed automatic transmission that debuted in the new BMW 7-series. An electronic parking brake is also fitted.
The main R news, of course, is the engine, a supercharged and intercooled 4.2-liter version of Jag's fine DOHC AJ-V8. As well as the capacity increase, courtesy of a longer stroke, the engine gets new heads, pistons, and manifolds. With the aid of an Eaton supercharger, the R's engine makes 388 horsepower at 6100 rpm and 397 pound-feet of torque at 3500 rpm. More than 80 percent of this torque is delivered from as low as 1500 rpm. For those who like manual control of the gears, Jaguar stays with its J-gate shifter, which you either loathe or love.

MacIntosh English 15 PSU – York Adventures in Time The National Watch and Clock Museum, located just off Route 30 in the small Pennsylvania town of Columbia, will educate and entertain. The museum is part of The National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors, Inc. (NAWCC). With 1,500 pieces on display and another 12,500 archived for research, it is difficult to fathom that this impressive collection started out as a private museum in the 1970s in the home of now NAWCC secretary, Earl Strickler. Back then the museum was used solely as a gathering place for NAWCC members and was not open to the public. When the collection grew too large to remain at Strickler's home, it was transported to an 8,500 square foot gallery and opened to the public in 1977. The museum continued to grow, and the latest expansion was completed in 1999 with the addition of a new exhibit space and a two-story addition. A beckoning tan and brown clock tower at the end of the parking lot leaves no doubt that you have reached your destination. The meticulously maintained main building, with its Greek-style architecture and white columns, impresses visitors even before they enter. Walking between the columns and entering through the red double doors brings you into an expansive, spotless lobby where museum staff members genuinely seem glad that you are there. "People come here from all over the world—even New Jersey," jokes one of the staff members who clearly enjoys his work. "Our [horology*] library is the best in North America," he says with obvious pride. The library is open to the public and is accessed by clock makers from around the globe. A school of horology across the street from the main museum, also a part of the NAWCC, trains future clock-makers in a challenging 18-month long course. Moving to the museum's theater, your tour begins with a ten-minute film, "All the Time in the World," which chronicles human progress at measuring the passage of time, from the simplest water-bowl clocks to the super-precision of atomic clocks. It is interesting, and a bit ironic, to note that the more proficient humans have become at tracking time, the more we have become a slave to it. "Through this portal lies an adventure in time," reads the sign above the entrance to the main exhibit hall. A pleasant surprise is that much of that adventure is auditory, as a gentle background of chimes, pings, beeps, and rings blend together surprisingly harmoniously, like some kind of New Age music. While moving throughout the exhibits, the sounds change subtly, as if one song is fading into another, and suddenly you realize that now you're listening to "Percussion Symphony," whereas just a moment ago it was "Melody of the Bells." Be sure to visit the Special Exhibit room located near the beginning of the self-guided tour. The current exhibit is the most delightful collection of junk-turned-clock. "Found Time" is a collection of timepieces handcrafted by Randall Cleaver, a 1981 Penn State graduate with a BFA in sculpture. Cleaver has a real knack for taking beer cans, bike chains, cookie tins and nondescript pieces of metal and turning them into works of art that will surely make you smile. "Flying Toaster" is a toaster-turned clock, complete with moving coffee-can wings. "Big Brother Time," a doll's eye-studded rotating globe of the world, is Dali-like in its weirdness. It takes awhile to realize that the random clicking noises are coming from the doll's eyes as gravity causes them to open and shut during their lazy rotational trip. Above a doorway, an entire flock of coffee-can clock creatures pose in mid-flight. Cleaver's creations become even more endearing with the addition of detailed explanations posted next to each one, relating the origin of his materials. ("The coffee cans are Café Du Monde coffee. It is the coffee I drink, and I buy them in Asian food markets. These are mostly from the Thai food market in Silver Spring, MD, but I have been saving them for years.") Past the precision regulators and standing impressively in a corner, the Engle clock is difficult to miss; that is, unless one mistakes it for a small building. Nicknamed "Eighth Wonder," the 1,250-pound, almost twelve-foot high monumental clock took Stephen Decatur Engle of Hazleton, Pennsylvania 20 years to build. "He finished it in 1877, unfortunately one year too late for the country's centennial celebration," a museum staff member tells the group of visitors gathered near the mammoth clock. With Engle's permission, the clock traveled the Eastern United States with promoter Captain John Reid. The Eighth drew crowds wherever it went, and people eagerly paid 25 cents to see the clocks 48 figures, including Jesus and the twelve disciples, Father Time, Satan, and even Engle himself, appear at appointed times to parade, twirl, and entertain, and then disappear back into their appropriate hiding places . The clock vanished until around 1988 when it was located in a storage shed in upstate New York. At first the owner refused to part with it, but with some persistence, the museum was ultimately able to obtain this historically significant timepiece and bring it back to Pennsylvania for restoration. Visitors as varied as the timepieces stroll through the museum. Young, old, professional business men and women, college students, each finds something they are uniquely attracted to. "We've been meaning to come here for years," a middle-aged woman admits, as her husband intently examines an exhibit on car clocks. "We only live a couple miles from here. I'm glad we finally made it. This is amazing!" Past the wristwatch display, a serious-looking gentleman inspects an exhibit on Lancaster's Hamilton Watch Company. "My grandfather worked there in the forties," he says with a wistful smile and checks a company photo, hoping to find his grandfather's face among the employees. Most of the exhibits are understandably do-not-touch zones, but there is an Interactive Station where you can learn about clock-making and timepieces through hands-on experience. Watching sand slip through an hourglass and then pushing a button when you think 20 seconds have passed makes one realize just how impatient we have become in this fast-food, instant messaging, hurry-up world. The tour ends at the museum gift shop, aptly named "Yours, Mine, and Hours," which turns out to be a perfect place for picking up that unique gift. Toys, coffee mugs, handmade jewelry and of course clocks, occupy shelves next to books on horology of every technical level. You are sure to find some little time treasure to take with you. Our fascination with time permeates our culture through books, films, and music. We want to know it, understand it, and control it. The National Watch and Clock Museum may not have all the answers, but it will certainly give you a new perspective when trying to understand that elusive fourth dimension we call time. *horology—the science of measuring time, ed.

Getting custom fitted for golf clubs is one of those things, like flossing, that most of us know we ought to do, but for some reason many of us don't. With flossing, our perverse negligence persists despite twice-yearly exhortations from our dentists and bountiful free samples of floss. Similarly with custom fitting, the vast majority of us have never submitted to the process, even though doing so may take as little as thirty extra minutes and usually doesn't add even a nickel to the cost of new clubs.
Secretly, I suspect, we're dubious about the benefits. Regarding flossing we figure, sure, in the distant future our gums may rot, but for now our teeth have no trouble tearing into porterhouse steaks, so why bother?With custom fitting we acknowledge the possibility of some subtle benefits somewhere down the road, but we also know we're going to have fun hitting whichever shiny new clubs we buy, and we'd simply rather spend our time playing than off in some pro shop getting confused by concepts like lie angle and flex point that we only dimly understand. Custom fitting seems complicated. Where do we even begin?So most of us don't.
To be honest, most golfers won't see their games instantly and radically transformed by custom fitting. Yes, there are a few golfers out there currently saddled with grotesquely ill-suited equipment who will see immediate benefits. For them, the swings that produce their best shots will not be the same quirky swings that produced good shots with their old equipment but rather far more natural-feeling swings, and the feedback loop from such wonderful shots will soon bring about more consistency. Even for some of us now using only marginally ill-fitting clubs, similar improvement will happen over time. But in the short term, for the majority of golfers, not much happens. That's because for typical golfers with typical swings the best-fitting clubs won't differ all that much from the standard clubs sold in pro shops, which they probably already have in their bags. Over the years, manufacturers have learned a few things. The standard clubs they market are least-common-denominator products, ingeniously designed, like network TV shows, to have the greatest possible chance of working acceptably well for the greatest number of people. That doesn't make them inferior; in fact, the quality and craftsmanship of most clubs for sale these days is dramatically better than it was even a decade ago. But it does suggest that richer satisfaction awaits anyone willing to expend a little effort to get optimally fit rather than accept the approximate fit of off-the-rack clubs. And until you go through the process, it's impossible to know if properly fitted clubs will help you a lot or just a little.
As a bonus, the process of being custom fitted is itself rewarding. When you work with a competent fitter, you can't help but pick up a few insights into why your inimitable swing sometimes produces the screwy shots that it does and probably a useful tip or two about how to correct it. You'll also learn much that is interesting about golf clubs in general and how they are designed to work their best. Once you have your new clubs, you'll know that the tools in your hand are the best they can be for you, and that confidence never hurts. The only real downside is that you can't blame your bad rounds on your clubs anymore.
Still, the intimidation factor remains: Most golfers who have never been custom fitted, and even some who have been, are put off by the process because there seem to be so many factors involved and because the jargon can quickly pile up knee-deep. For this article we have talked to expert fitters, club makers, pros and average players with an eye toward boiling the process down to its essence. The truth is that getting custom fitted is a lot simpler, and often also a lot more interesting, than most golfers think. There really isn't any reason not to do it.
Select a Manufacturer
A common nightmare vision of custom fitting is that it begins with a slew of measurements and analyses—arm length, hand size, swing style, body type, brain-wave rhythm, whatever—and then casts the fittee adrift on the high seas of the golf market to find the appropriate matching club for himself. This would indeed be a horror, worse than having to pick out clothes for your wife. You could begin this way, by getting measured, but the problem is there's little consistency in standards from one club maker to the next; one degree upright for company A may be two degrees flat for company B, and so forth. So the sounder approach is to first decide which manufacturer to buy your clubs from, and only after that submit to the actual custom-fitting part of being custom fitted.

Domino, the idea of cause and effect, action and reaction. With DORmino, we simply try to harness and help remove the wasted heat energy emitted by laptops to power a mouse, a common periphery used.
Using nanowires and induction charging technologies, the themoelectricity created also creates a cycle for energy reuse that can be tapped on.
Though of small use, as the world moves towards the digital age, laptops are seen on almost every university student's desks, a mouse often found beside it. Many are also beginning to handle longer days, leaving their computers on throughout the night or for days. The amount of energy used to power these machines are also often lost by the heat generated. Most of the time, we find ourselves just trying to get rid of the heat to keep the laptops cool and running. This is where DORmino comes in handy.
As a portable personal product, DORmino really is a small solution for a large potential of opportunities. But cumulatively, it is really a large use with minimum impact.

UPDATE: Holy crap. Because he, apparently, really, really wanted to talk to Sarah Silverman, Guy Serota has been removed from the process. Seriously.
#CBA Serota removed from mediation assignment because of Twitter flap earlier today, FMCS announced, to dispel any "cloud" over process
— Katie Strang (@KatieStrangESPN) November 26, 2012
Because these negotiations weren't already a total joke. This is what has become of the sport we love, people, even when we finally get a mediator we don't entirely get a mediator. Because of Twitter. The internet is a scary beast, folks. I mean, this probably won't have any real affect on the negotiations, as Serota will likely be replaced by someone who doesn't feel the need to share his deep ruminations about the band Paramore, but seriously, guys.
For the first time in as long as I can remember, something approaching sanity has occurred in the NHL labor negotiations. According to all of Twitter (so it must be true), the NHL and NHLPA have hired a federal mediator to help them find common ground and let us watch some hockey. This is potentially good news as having literally anyone not named Gary Bettman or Don Fehr taking the reins in negotiations is almost certainly a good thing. Unfortunately for all of us, Fehr and Bettman are still very much involved. Still, any news that doesn't involve news of the two sides being far apart is good news, I think. I'm honestly pretty shocked that mediation is actually happening. I thought for sure that both sides' heels were dug in so deep that even the idea of hiring a mediator wouldn't have come to fruition for at least another month or so, especially after all of the NHL's talk about "mediation not being a valid path to a deal." But, I mean, it's something. Maybe it leads to a deal, maybe not, but at least it's not just another round of childish nonsense followed by news that the two sides have locked themselves in their rooms and won't come out until someone agrees to their deal. Other people think things too:
Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service Director George Cohen says he's had informal talks with NHL and NHLPA. — Jesse Spector (@jessespector) November 26, 2012
Mediators work under umbrella of Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. Let's see if some "outside" perspective makes a difference. — Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) November 26, 2012
Meeting with mediators likely Wednesday. — Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) November 26, 2012
Interesting, yet not entirely surprising, little tidbit here:
email from Bill Daly on federal mediation: "They reached out to us." — Tim Panaccio (@tpanotchCSN) November 26, 2012
Of course, there was plenty of Twitter reaction to temper anything resembling optimism because the NHL lockout is where optimism goes to die:
Here's @mccannsportslaw: "Mediation isn't binding and, by bringing a new person into the discussion, can further complicate the situation."
— James Mirtle (@mirtle) November 26, 2012
Mediation can give both sides a reality check. But at the end of the day, the willingness to compromise has to come from both sides.
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) November 26, 2012
The NHL and NHLPA met with federal mediators on Feb. 13, 2005. Three days later the season was cancelled. — Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) November 26, 2012
Perhaps the strangest development of this whole thing is the budding Twitter celebrity of one of our mediators, one Mr. Guy Serota. Seems Serota's Twitter feed (which, when I first started following today, was at only 34 followers) was made up mostly of random, nonsensical thoughts about pop-culture and replies to celebrities' Tweets (no, they did not answer). This, because it's Twitter, led to a retweet rampage which led to Serota pulling the rarely seen Chris Brown/Jeff O'Neill hybrid move and not only deactivating his account but also claiming that his account had been hacked. So impressively hacked that, apparently, he had not been in control of his account since he joined Twitter. Of course, this is the Internet, so no one is safe:
Here's what Google has cached for Guy Serota: webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache…
— Chemmy (@felixpotvin) November 26, 2012
So there that is. That whole thing seems weirdly appropriate for these negotiations, doesn't it? God, I hate this lockout.

The College of Engineering invites you to participate in one of our mentoring programs in the Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Diversity.
Options available are:
If you decide this program is for you, you will find out our mentors are already on the ball even before you arrive for fall semester. You will receive a phone call from one of our mentors who will introduce him or herself and help you with any questions or concerns. ANY questions! They are available to help with advice about what to prepare for move-in, such as what supplies you should bring or what you should wait to buy after you move in. This first contact will show you what a great resource your mentor can be!
On the Friday before classes begin, you will be invited to attend the CEED Welcome Picnic. This will be a great chance to meet the mentors and other mentees in the program and hit the ground running, making connections on campus. For the first two weeks of the semester, you will attend large events hosted by the mentors and the Peer Leaders who coordinate the mentoring program. These events are designed to help you get to know the mentors and other freshmen mentees. At the end of the two weeks, if you decide to stay in the program, you will be assigned to a small group. The first two weeks are intended to give you a chance to see if the program will be a good fit for you. If at the end of the two weeks you decide not continue in the program, you will be given a chance to opt out.
Once small groups are formed at the end of the first two weeks, you will meet once a week with your mentor and other mentees. Your small group will determine when you would like to meet based on your schedules. Some meetings will be on campus while others will be off campus. The off-campus meetings will be a great chance for your mentor to help you get to know the community around campus and take you to a meal compliments of CEED! The small groups will meet for the remaining eight weeks of the program.
Two large social events where all mentors and mentees interact will take place during the semester. One of the events will be held after the first engineering exam where you will enjoy the opportunity to unwind and relax after all your studying – this event will be held at the BreakZONE on campus and will be free – pizza, pool, ping pong, and bowling. The other large event will be at the end of the 10 weeks and will give you a chance to thank your mentor for all he or she has done for you. We traditionally have Buffalo Wild Wings and Macado's cater this event for us.
At the heart of all this activity and planning are engineering students who genuinely care about helping you have an excellent experience as a new Hokie. This program is supported by CEED staff, but it is truly run by the Peer Leaders and mentors. We hope you decide to join us!

Top 10 Quotes About Editing
Inspirational editing quotes that will get your editing juices flowing
Words of inspiration can come in handy when you've got writer's block, or when you are trying to get your manuscript published. We've collected 10 of our favorite quotes on editing. Enjoy!
Top 10 Editing Quotes
1. "Editing should be, especially in the case of old writers, a counselling rather than a collaborating task. The tendency of the writer-editor to collaborate is natural, but he should say to himself, 'How can I help this writer to say it better in his own style?' and avoid 'How can I show him how I would write it, if it were my piece?'" - James Thurber
2. "The best advice on writing was given to me by my first editor, Michael Korda, of Simon and Schuster, while writing my first book. 'Finish your first draft and then we'll talk,' he said. It took me a long time to realize how good the advice was. Even if you write it wrong, write and finish your first draft. Only then, when you have a flawed whole, do you know what you have to fix." - Dominick Dunne
3. "Editing might be a bloody trade, but knives aren't the exclusive property of butchers. Surgeons use them too." - Blake Morrison
4. "The main thing I try to do is write as clearly as I can. I rewrite a good deal to make it clear." - E.B. White
5. "I'm all for the scissors. I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil." - Truman Capote
6. "You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what's burning inside you, and we edit to let the fire show through the smoke." - Arthur Plotnik
7. "No author dislikes to be edited as much as he dislikes not to be published." - J. Russell Lynes
8. "I would write a book, or a short story, at least three times—once to understand it, the second time to improve the prose, and a third to compel it to say what it still must say. Somewhere I put it this way: first drafts are for learning what one's fiction wants him to say. Revision works with that knowledge to enlarge and enhance an idea, to reform it. Revision is one of the exquisite pleasures of writing." - Bernard Malamud
9. "No passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter someone else's draft." - H.G. Wells
10. "Only kings, presidents, editors, and people with tapeworms have the right to use the editorial 'we'." - Mark Twain
We hope that you've enjoyed these inspirational quotes. For additional help with your writing, try our book editors, who have years of experience helping authors get published.

I want to move three newly planted sedum dragon's blood from one end of the garden to the opposite, where i think they will look great under a boxwood that I've pruned to resemble a miniature tree (ie bonzai style). The boxwood's "canopy" is about a foot or so off the ground. Does anyone think that the sedum will do well, smart or dumb move? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It may get a little leggy if it doesn't get enough sun, but it should be fine. Sedums are tough little plants. |
You can remove the trailing stems and keep it in both places if you'd like. Might be too late of a reply to your question. What did you do? |

Playa del Carmen
Royal Hideaway Playacar Resort
Playa del Carmen, 77710, Mexico
This adults-only all-inclusive resort is just a five-minute stroll from Playa del Carmen, so if its activities—tennis, biking, kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, even basketball—aren't sufficient, there's always city entertainment nearby. But why leave? The 200 rooms range from comfortable suites to two-story villas, all bedecked with Spanish-style columns and dark lattice-wood headboards (plus the flat-screen TVs and iPod docks that were added in 2011). Food is above par for an all-inclusive resort, especially at Azia, where the some of the Pan-Asian dishes are prepared tableside.
Room to Book:
Villas 25, 26, and 27 are the quietest and furthest from neighboring hotels; 24 is closest to the pool and beach.Insider Tip:
Book your dinner reservations at check-in. Though there are six restaurants (including a dinner theater), they aren't all open nightly, and tables fill up fast.

Shooting suspect Christopher Dorner stayed at San Diego hotel Tuesday night
SAN DIEGO - Police swarmed a Point Loma neighborhood Thursday morning in the search for murder suspect Christopher Dorner.
IMAGES: Incidents linked to Christopher Dorner
The U.S. Navy confirmed Dorner checked in to the Gateway Inn & Suites on Tuesday, and was supposed to check out on Wednesday morning, but he did not.
"Apparently, Mr. Dorner checked into the Navy Gateway Inn & Suites on February 5th, he was supposed to check out on the 6th. He did not physically check out," said Cmdr. Brad Fagan, Navy Region SW public information officer.
A Navy official said someone saw a person matching Dorner's general description on the base at 9:35 a.m. Thursday. By 9:40 a.m., the base went on lockdown. Before 11:00 a.m., it was determined Dorner was not on the base.
The official did give any details about the room where Dorner stayed.
Resident Jessica Ramos told 10News, "The fact that I live right across the street at military housing, it frightens me. Usually I leave my front door unlocked, but this morning I locked it."

I've noticed that Black Crusade reassigned some of the characteristics linked to skills. The errata indicates that Willpower should be linked to Intimidate (but note that this is not carried over into Only War - pointed out because this is the newest and theoretically most playtested ruleset). However, there are others that stand out too:
The character sheet indicates that Operate (Voidship) should be Agility while Table 3-2 and the skill section says it should be Intelligence. Only War links this skill to Agility.
The character sheet and the skill section indicate that Inquiry should be Fellowship while Table 3-2 says it should be Intelligence. Only War links this skill to Fellowship.
My own feelings on these are leaning toward Table 3-2. This table already had Intimidate linked to Willpower, and I think I prefer that both Operate (Voidship) and Inquiry to br linked to Intelligence.
Is there any official answers on these skill/characteristic sets? Is there any known reason that Only War reverted Intimidate back to Strength?

Last week, I explained Johns Hopkins University's work on "dropout factories," public schools where 60 percent or fewer students graduate on time. Under this definition, all of Arizona's community colleges qualify as dropout factories, even if you consider their graduation rates after three years instead of two. I received an avalanche of email in response.
Several people objected to the data, noting that many people take a community college course for various reasons – like receiving a certification or for personal betterment – but have no intention of graduating. This is true. But the federal data that I reviewed only tracks the academic progress of students enrolling in a fall semester as full-time students. Casual course takers are not counted in the calculation of dropout rates.
A number of readers also noted that students sometimes enroll in community colleges but transfer to a university and graduate from the four-year institution. This is also true. In Arizona, however, all three of our public universities are also dropout factories – with on-time graduation rates below 35 percent. While some community college students do transfer to universities and graduate on time, I haven't seen data that show they are doing so in large numbers.
The bottom line is that our taxpayer-funded higher education system needs to do a much better job of matching students to institutions that meet their level of academic preparation. To do this, both community colleges and universities should raise their admission standards in concert and refocus their efforts on their core academic mission.

Medical marijuana: Advocates differ about MMJ cleanup bill HB 1043 hearing (PHOTOS)
Some very different takes on yesterday's judiciary committee hearing on HB 1043, a medical marijuana bill co-sponsored by Representative Tom Massey and Senator Pat Steadman. Jill Lamoureux, who also weighed in on a contentious health department advisory meeting, doesn't think the bill is highly problematic. As for the Cannabis Therapy Institute's Laura Kriho, she found the session's tone objectionable. Photos below.Big pics below.
Speaking yesterday afternoon, Kriho was upset that none of the nineteen amendments to the bill had been published. "When I asked if there was a copy of anything, they literally laughed at me," she said.Courtesy of Cannabis Therapy Institute Patient Joe Beaver prepares to testify.
Among the amendments that concerned her, she highlighted an extension of the current MMJ dispensary moratorium to July 1, 2012; the elimination of confidentiality for grow locations; and a requirement for primary caregivers to register with the Department of Revenue and obtain a photo-ID card.
Kriho also considered the behavior of judiciary committee members to be disrespectful to members of the MMJ community -- so much so that she wrote a letter of complaint reproduced below in its entirety.
For her part, Lamoureux prefers to focus on the legislation itself, which has been rewritten to some degree. For instance, a passage that would have made it easier for individuals with past felony convictions to work in the MMJ industry was excised, as was a fix to the so-called 35 day rule, which asks that patients not buy medical marijuana until 35 days after an application is turned in to give the health department time to approve or reject the submission.Courtesy of Cannabis Therapy Institute Kyl Marsh prepares to testify.
More positively from her perspective, the bill equates patient records with other medical records, allows private citizens to create MMJ-related investment vehicles, and allows centers to provide medical marijuana to indigent patients -- although she feels the definition of indigence is currently too narrow.
Her overall take? "I would say we were disappointed that the 35-day rule fix was taken out, but we were happy with the confidentiality measures added to patient records. And without having read the entire, re-engrossed bill, we didn't see anything hugely detrimental to patients and centers.
Moreover, the latest iteration won't necessarily be the final version.
"The bill will go to Appropriations, then it will go to the House floor, and then it will go to the Senate side," she points out. "So there will be many opportunities to try to make changes, mainly adding more patient privacy provisions."

i bought this because it sounded perfect for me but wasnt so. i was a bit surprised to see such good reviews on it.
- good coverage for undereyes although there is still some shadowing and darkness
- blends nicely before it dries
- orange toned so it corrects blueness in undereye circles
-does stay on pretty long
- dries up very quickly, have to do one eye at a time and sometimes thats not long enough
- very drying under the eyes. i can see the dryness if i look close enough
- creases throughout the day and cant be reblended
- dispensing the product is a hassle. its a twist up and takes awhile to get product, once you finally get product its too much.
- doesnt seem very sanitary
for me, the cons outweight the pros and i no longer use it. i will not repurchase this ever. this is one of the worst concealers ive ever used because of the extreme drying it causes.

I love this concealer! Great value. I wouldn't recommend for acne scars or other blemishes though. Use for under the eyes is great. They don't have that many colors but they did happen to have one that looked good on me. This is the first concealer I've bought that doesnt crese under my eyes! deff. repurchase this. =)
This is decent, the product is thick and provides pretty good coverage, of course if it is right for your skintone. I really hate the applicator, though, as with many of this type of product, I've noticed, it dispenses WAY too much product at once, so it's easy to waste a lot of the product, and it's kind of a hassle. I also think the way the product looks coming out of the little holes is gross, it reminds me of oozing pores (Sorry, I'm just saying). For that, would not repurchase.

I liked this concealer, I was advised by the Revlon make up artist at the counter to use it, however I bought it in the middle of winter and my skin tone was very fair. The light shade was too dark and I had to use liquid foundation as well instead of my usual mineral powder. While I was using it I thought it concealed very well, however when I tried out MAC I realised it didn't conceal well at all, the thing that concealed so well was the foundation I was wearing that went over the concealer. It run out so fast, only lasting 3 weeks to a month. I read on the reviews here that people were buying it so cheap, I live in New Zealand and the cheapest you can get it here is $30NZ. I went to Australia for a holiday however and bought it for $15AUS. It went on nicely but required alot of effort to get it perfect, as it sometimes caked or didn't go on evenly. I applied sunscreen underneath it as a primer because it was thicker and spf 15 is just not enough in NZ! Overall a good product in terms of coverage.
I have a really great concealer at home but i wanted one to throw in my on-the-go makeup bag. I picked this one up at CVS for around $3.00 on sale. I really like this one considering its drugstore!!! Great coverage and it matched my skintone really well!!
This was the first concealer I had ever used,and it wasn't that bad. It covered my dark circles better than any other concealer has. I don't use it now because I have moved on to better products. The problem with this product is it takes awhile to get the some of the concealer out of the brush. The worst thing is it is such a small tube and doesn't last long.
I'd definitely buy this again IF I was to buy it in the U.S, that's where I first bought it and I believe I paid less than 8 bucks for it. I went through 3 packs because it was the first concealer that didn't crease under my eyes.
However, it costs like 25 bucks here in Switzerland! It's a good concealer, I like the packaging but the coverage it's not 25 bucks worth.
I bought this concealer on a whim as I have gnarley under eye circles that are accentuated by my fair skin. I had recently purchased "Time Balm" concealer from another line and it cost me $18.00 and at some point the concealer became way too orange for my skin. The Revlon ColorStay Under Eye Concealer cost me like 7 or 8 bucks at WalMart. The coverage is great. You only need a bit to cover and it blends well into the skin. I agree with another user that it does set to a powery finish which is great for me as all liquid like products tend to cake on me even with a whole skin prep routine involved.
My friends instantly noticed my lack of a "tired" appearance and said my eyes were brighter.
I will deffinately buy this again.
my one complaint would be the amount you get in it. Although you dont need a lot.. its still not a lot of product for 7 or 8 dollars a pop.
The Bonus? SPF 15!!!!
I just love it when my cosmetics have SPF..less for me to put on!
I'm rating this just from an *under eye concealer*, because some people have attempted to cover blemishes with this and that's not something one should assume you can do with it.
THE GOOD: great consistency, covers just *the right* amount for the under eye area only, I like that it dries to a powder finish because this hinders any traveling and creasing that other creamy products do, the packaging is sleek, has an SPF.
THE BAD: The twist style application method is a pain to get the hang off because it seems the rate of pressure applied upwards is never consistent. You can't just click it once, yet clicking it two of three times sometimes delivers a burst of wasted product. Also, don't even bother trying to place it on properly with the felt tip, just use your finger. There was also a certain chalkiness to the coloring that, while it went on smooth and stayed, didn't look perfect with my coloration. Lastly, there just isn't ENOUGH product in the tube. You can run out incredibly fast..they really skimped on this one.
All in all, if you have under eye issues, it's worth a shot. Since I've gotten used to making mistakes with the applicator, I may get this again in a slightly darker shade if I can't find anything else within reason.

Morgan Library & Museum
at 36th St.
New York, NY, 10016, United States
Renzo Piano's cool, clean 2006 reimagining of this landmark yoked together its three disparate buildings under a glass atrium. And though there are usually fine enough temporary exhibits in the Morgan Stanley Galleries, the real reason to visit is the breathtaking private quarters of financier Pierpont Morgan himself. His red damask-draped smoking room, accessorized with works by Memling and Perugino, drips with understated blue-blooded glamour, while his sumptuous, three-story private library (designed by Charles McKim) is as ritzy as its holdings (think 30-foot walls, floor-to-ceiling inlaid walnut bookcases, and volumes of centuries-old European lit), which include three of the 50 extant copies of the Gutenberg Bible.
Tip: Sit down to a meal at the Morgan Café or more formal Morgan Dining Room, and take advantage of free gallery admission and recitals on Fridays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Admission: $12 adults, $8 seniors, free for children 12 and under with adult. Closed Mon.

Vol. 2, No. 5 MAY 2009
With spring's arrival and the promise of longer, warmer days ahead, many of us are seeing a significant increase in the number of hours spent in and around our airplanes. This month we touch on several timely topics, such as a new development in the pending new ELT regulations and what effect they'll have on your ability to legally fly. For those who venture into the U.S., we trust you're up to speed on the new U.S. regulations for general aviation aircraft crossing the border. But just in case, read the story below. Other stories: There's a great new benefit for Young Eagles (and yes, it's applicable to Canada as well!); a reactivated chapter that's prompted two others to organize a three-chapter fly-out next month; and of course, AirVenture Oshkosh and EAA's planned activities for celebrating the 100th anniversary of Canadian flight. All this and more, including a look back at "The Dean of Canadian Amateur Builders," in Bits and Pieces. - Jack Dueck, Editor
Editor's Note: Canadian Young Eagles qualify for this program. The Ground School is based on the FAA curriculum, which is not the same, but has a strong similarity to our Canadian syllabus.

Details are also available of an invitation for our Canadian visitors to attend an exclusive performance of the Canadian musical play, Billy Bishop Goes to War. This will take place on the evening of Monday, July 27, in fine surroundings of the Eagle Hangar of the EAA AirVenture Museum.
Written by John MacLachlan Gray and Eric Peterson, Billy Bishop Goes to War is one of the most famous and widely-produced plays in Canadian theatre, dramatizing the life of Canadian World War I fighter pilot Billy Bishop. The one-night-only performance will star David Cescarini of Milwaukee's Next Act Theater Company, who performed the play to rave reviews at Oshkosh in 2002. Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the performance will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at no charge, but seating is limited. To reserve your seat, please e-mail Jane Smith at email@example.com. and include how many seats you need.
