Sean Hannity appeared as our guest speaker for our Annual Abe Lincoln Day Dinner. We could have not been more pleased with the event. The tickets literally sold themselves, as individuals for all across Iowa were excited to hear from one of the country's premiere conservative news commentators, Sean Hannity. Mr. Hannity was delightful to work with, gave an informed and entertaining presentation and treated our attendees in a most gracious manner. He took time to shake hands, sign autographs, and pose for pictures, which made those attending feel very special. I can wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Hannity for Republican events in other states.

Winter Warm-Up: 8 Cool Ways To Keep Warm, From Your Fave Fashion Icons
It's not getting any hotter and your bulky winter staples aren't getting any cuter. Enter: our favorite designers, models, and stylists ready to spill their secrets for sizzling winter wear. We asked our favorite fashionistas for their tips on staying warm this winter, and here's what they recommend.
Winter Dream: Milwaukee's Battery-Powered Heated Jacket
Are you one of those people who, no matter how many North Face parkas you layer on, just can't seem to keep warm in winter? You'd think by now they would have invented some invisible heat bubble that follows you wherever you go, but no (thanks for nothing, scientists). There is, however, this: the Milwaukee M12 heated jacket, which, in slightly "Back to the Future" style, provides electric heat. A battery pack charges the garment for eight hours, allowing you to essentially walk around town wrapped up in an electric blanket. The price is pretty reasonable too. At about $130, it's less than your average North Face number. Are you listening, Santa? [Gizmodo] Keep reading »

We are extending our bookstore hours for the month of December. Stop by for some incredible gifts.
HOURS: Mon-Fri 3:00pm-6:00pm and Sat. 11:00am-3:00pm
Over the last twenty years, our ministry has discovered that while many educational centers / museums have extensive programs showing many of God's wonderous works, almost none of them have attributed the works to God, but to evolution. We have discovered a great need in the community for an interactive creation museum. There are many secular, evolution-based museums throughout the country, but very few museums which tell the story of our origins from a creationist's perspective.
The Lord has blessed us with an incredible amount of bone and fossil material through our Creation excursions, such as the Ice Age Fossil Floats. We have been given the opportunity and resources to have these exhibits displayed for everyone to see! We welcome groups and individuals of all ages. Focused primarily on the Ice Age, this museum will display many kinds of fossils and the huge Columbian Mammoth bones found here in Florida.
Over the years, as the number of home schooling families continues to grow, the need for outside resources, especially in the area of science, increases greatly. We want to provide homeschoolers with the opportunity to experience exciting hands-on experiments, as well as good, solid, scientific and biblically sound educational materials and curriculum.
The hands-on discovery workshops are offered throughout the year, click here to view our schedule and topics. These educational programs are also available for private schools and ministries as well as groups, such as Boy Scouts, 4 H Clubs, etc. Because we see a great need for interactive, hands-on experiences not only in our community, but in communities around the country, we are working on the production of Development Manuals to help other churches and ministries begin Creation Discovery Museums in their own communities.
Kids, Join the Science Club! Become an Investigative Scientist Member! Join us for only $35 a year as we investigate God's amazing creation with tools and techniques used by real scientists. Our investigative team meets on six designated Saturdays of the year (see schedule below). This time is packed with thrilling hands-on activities, exciting demonstrations and science-based laboratory experiences that will leave you wanting to discover more. Explore the wonders of creation and experience the hand of God in every field of science. One-Day Admissions are also available for $10. Time: 12:00pm - 3:00pm Dates & Topics:
September 27, 2014- I feel a rumble down under!! Volcanoes Are Erupting, AHH! Why do volcanoes erupt? Build a volcano with oozing lava spilling out, Wow!

Gov. Mike Beebe has signed into law today a pair of provisions to allow houses of worship to permit guns on the premises and a measure to prohibit the sale of abortion insurance coverage through Arkansas' health insurance exchange.
According to Arkansas News, the first measure amends a law that previously barred guns from all churches and instead allows churches to make the decision whether to let guns on the property. If guns are allowed a provision of the law requires a sign posted declaring guns could be present.
An emergency clause allowed the legislation to become legal with the governor's signature today rather than waiting until 90 days after the Legislature adjourns.
The second measure prohibits insurers from offering abortion insurance through the state's health insurance exchange. To purchase abortion coverage, customers must purchase a separate rider and pay a separate premium.
Without an emergency clause the law will go into effect 90 days after the Legislature adjourns.

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 Sherlock!
Facts about Sherlock
- Breed: Redbone Coonhound Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Sherlock's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
This handsome fellow is Sherlock. He is about 1 year old and weighs about 30 lbs. He is a thin boy and has trouble keeping on weight. Sherlock was rescued from a high kill shelter where he was very depressed and dispondant. He is such a loving sweet boy, but needs someone to show him love and help him build his confidence. Sherlock get along well with other dogs, is good on a leash, crate trained and is doing well in the house. Sherlock, as is typical of his breed, does not do well with cats. If you are interested in this boy, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Other Pets at Rookie's Rescue -
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sherlock, a Ballston Spa Redbone Coonhound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Redbone Coonhound for sale in Ballston Spa, or seeking a Redbone Coonhound dog from a breeder in Ballston Spa.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Ballston Spa 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 Ballston Spa 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 Redbone Coonhound breeders who help with Redbone Coonhound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Ballston Spa paves the way for another one to be saved.

There were more than 46 million nonimmigrant (temporary) admissions to the United States in 2010, the highest number in nearly three decades. MPI's Alicia Lee and Jeanne Batalova outline the definition of nonimmigrants and take a detailed look at admissions data and data limitations.
Comprising only a small share of all immigrants in the United States, the foreign born from Taiwan seem to embody the very spirit of the Asian Tiger. As of 2010, Taiwanese immigrants exhibited extremely high levels of educational attainment; a notable tendency toward homeownership; and elevated rates of employment in management, business, information technology, and certain other professional, science, and engineering fields compared to the foreign-born population overall.
From rather humble beginnings, the Chinese immigrant population in the United States has grown steadily since the 1960s to reach about 1.8 million in 2010. Compared to the foreign born overall, Chinese immigrants report higher levels of educational attainment, are less likely to live in households with an annual income below the poverty line, and are substantially more likely to have naturalized as U.S. citizens.
Muzaffar Chishti, Claire Bergeron, and Faye Hipsman report on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to decide the constitutionality of Arizona's SB 1070, passage in the House of the Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act of 2011, DOJ lawsuits in Utah and South Carolina, and more.
More than 1 million people became legal permanent residents (LPRs) in the United States in 2010. Nearly two-thirds of new LPRs are immigrants with family ties in the United States, report MPI's Carola Balbuena and Jeanne Batalova in this updated look at the latest statistics on legal immigration.

A discussion on the gains that young adult immigrants or the U.S.-born children of immigrants have made in education and employment, with speakers: Michael Fix, Jeanne Batalova, Andrew P. Kelly, Raul Gonzalez, and Margie McHugh.
The number of U.S. residents deemed Limited English Proficient (LEP) has increased substantially in recent decades, consistent with the growth of the U.S. foreign-born population. This brief offers analysis on the number, share, growth, and linguistic diversity of LEP individuals in the United States from 1990 to 2010 at the national, state, and metropolitan-area levels.
This Council Statement for the fifth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration captures key elements of deliberations on the best ways to bring greater order and legality to migration, border management, and labor market systems through transatlantic cooperation.
The story of immigrant integration in the United States has historically been one of generational progress, with the gains for second-generation Hispanic women particularly impressive, as this report reveals. It profiles first- and second-generation young adults ages 16 to 26, examining this diverse population's education and career pathways.
This volume from MPI's Transatlantic Council on Migration aims to fill the analytical gap regarding the question of what greater global cooperation on governing the flow of international migrants could achieve.The book focuses on a set of fundamental questions: What are the key steps to building a better, more cooperative system of governance? What are the goals that can be achieved through greater international cooperation? And, most fundamentally, who (or what) is to be governed?
This is the latest in NCIIP's language access webinar series exploring the policy and program implementation imperatives for government and community agencies serving Limited English Proficient (LEP) populations.
This final report summarizes and reflects upon the key findings of the Improving EU and U.S. Immigration Systems: Learning from Experience comparative research project undertaken by MPI and the European University Institute through a grant from the European Commission.
In this webinar, experts discuss barriers immigrant and LEP individuals face in accessing the WIA system, how a revitalized WIA could address these barriers, and the extent to which the current Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee's WIA reauthorization proposal addresses these barriers.

I'm interested in buying the BI 36R and the IC 27 FI refrig and freezer columns from sub zero. the refrigerator is a built in unit, and the freezer is an integrated unit. If I put wood panels on them, will they be noticeably different if i put them next/near each other, besides the top section of the built in refrigerator (the grill)? (such as the actual door height) Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
If installed correctly the fully integrated will sit flush with surrounding cabinetry. Built-in will stick out about 1.5". The top of the door for the BI is 73 3/4" while the top of the FI model is 78 9/16. You can see all this information in the Sub Zero Design Guide linked below. |

Here are your pictures... Can you take one more picture? Take it from a distance of about 3 inches away from the blades so I can see the shape of the tip of the grass. And if you can include some of the dead looking grass in the picture, that could be helpful. Also if you are using your cell phone to take the pictures, please wipe the grease off the camera lens with a t-shirt or something soft right before you take the picture. Centipede should love your pH. Is there any shade over the area? Have you fertilized with anything? If so, what and when? How often do you water to get your inch per week? Have you verified it is an inch by using tuna or cat food cans to collect it? |
Thank you for the reply. I will take a close up this afternoon, and I'll be sure to clean the lens. I fertilized three weeks ago with Scotts Winterguard. This was the first time it has been fertilized. I will be fertilizing again in the spring. I water for 45-55 minutes per week. My schedule does not allow my watering schedule to be consistent so it may be a little less than that. I have put a bowl out, and it appears to be around an inch or so, but it could be less.. I have purchased a rain gauge for a more exact measurement the next time I water. |
Thanks again for your help. I have the pictures. Also I meant to mention that there is hardly any shade. It is in the sun for most of the day. My entire yard is getting like this. The front yard, back yard, and the sides are all having this same problem. |

AWD vs 4WD, Which Is Better
There has always been a controversy about awd vs 4wd types of vehicles. Many people have numerous questions regarding which type of these two vehicles is better. Similarly, there are very many answers that are normally given about these two machines but it is important to find out the major difference between them before making a conclusion. Always keep in mind that these two machines have been created to serve various tasks and this is what differentiates them.
Four-Wheel Drive Car
There are two major types of 4wd cars. The first one is known as a true four-wheel-drive while the second one is referred to as full time four-wheel-drive. For the true four-wheel-drive, all the four wheels turn at the same time when in motion. They rotate at the same speed to steer the vehicle to a particular direction. Still on the true four-wheel-drive, the drivers have an option to choose the extra traction that applies to both four wheels. When both the four wheels are engaged, the car is now suitable to be driven in snowy areas or even on muddy terrain.
For the full time 4wd, these automobiles come with an extra gearing set found in the transfer panel. This allows the vehicle to be driven even on hard terrain for example dry and rough roads. When you buy a 4wd, you find out that this vehicle is always fuel efficient because it is not engaged all the time. The drivers only engage it when they wish to do so and this paves way for saving fuel. A 4wd also has a particular ratio for the amount of torque delivered to the various axles. This is also a common factor that differentiates awd vs 4wd.
All-Wheel Drive Car
For all-wheel drive, also known as awd cars, the automobile is controlled by an internal mechanism. When the car notices loss of good traction, it switches from a two-wheel-drive mode to awd. Unlike the four-wheel drive cars, the wheels of an awd roll independently. They do not depend on one another to turn. This is very crucial especially when driving through rougher surfaces such as dry land. The machine distributes the energy equally between the front and hind axle. This is the major difference regarding awd vs 4wd. Also note that, an all-wheel drive can also increase traction without depending on the current state of the road. Some versions also give the operators the chance to choose either the low or high mode.
4WD vs AWD
Even as people continue asking what type is better regarding awd vs 4wd, it is important to note that the type of road is used to determine how these two versions will be helpful. It is advisable to select your car with close reference to your driving habits. In other words, if you love driving off the road many times, you will need to purchase a 4wd since it provides more torque to both the four wheels. But if you normally drive on slippery and wet areas such as snow, the awd will be the best option for you. The awd saves you the stress of monitoring when to switch the vehicle into 4wd mode. Also remember that these two systems will only work effectively if you have the right tires with the right pressure to get good torque.

(Brief presentation to begin at 5:15 p.m.)
Project Summary
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and the City of Prescott are conducting a study for the Willow Creek Road Realignment. The study will identify future needs of the roadway and will recommend a preferred roadway alignment connecting to State Route 89 and Pioneer Parkway. A public meeting is scheduled to introduce the study to the community and to identify possible issues, concerns, and opportunities.
The study is funded by the Federal Highway Administration through ADOT's Planning Assistance for Rural Areas program.
Willow Creek Road Traffic Signals – January 2012
Two new traffic signals will soon be operating on Willow Creek Road to serve the increasing traffic from Commerce Drive and the auto dealerships driveway 1,700 feet to the north - see map here. These signals which were approved by City Council in early 2011 will be linked via inter-connection cable to those at Sandretto Drive, Willow Lake Rd and others south to maximize progression through the commercial corridor. Turn on of the Commerce Drive signal is scheduled for Sunday, January 29th 2012 with the dealership signal following a few weeks later.
Upcoming Annual Spring Striping Work – February 2012
Staff will begin advertising for the "Annual Contract For Pavement Marking In The City of Prescott" in late February, 2012. This contract is to provide pavement markings and striping for City streets and City owned parking lots in late spring and early summer, to be completed by the end of the 2012 Fiscal Year on June 30th, 2012. It includes thermoplastic and paint and provides an option for extension up to two year periods. For information on the schedule of release please contact us at (928)777-1130.
Traffic Calming
Traffic Calming is an approach to traffic management with the objective
of reducing volume and/or speed, particularly within residential areas.
Traffic calming solutions can range from median islands and speed humps
to promote lower speeds, to diverters and street closures to restrict
traffic movements.
If you would like your neighborhood considered for traffic calming,
contact the Transportation Services Division at (928)777-1130 and
describe your concern or traffic problem. Once your request is received
and determined to be consistent with the policies and procedures
outlined in the City Council adopted Traffic Calming Policy a traffic
investigation will be completed. Results of the investigation will then
be presented to the Transportation Coordinating Committee (TCC), an
advisory committee to the City Council on traffic matters, at one of
their monthly meetings.

Since out of the box we didn't have support for the new FX line of processors, we had to throw our 1100T in and update to the latest. Originally I found myself a little disappointed with the lack of Click BIOS present, but fortunately after updating to the most recent one which supported the new FX line, we where greeted with the updated ClickBIOS II which we've said before looks great.
When compared to the last time we saw ClickBIOS II, you're not going to see anything too new here. Instead we've got the same kind of setup present. If you're going in to do some overclocking, you'll no doubt find yourself hanging out in the OC area the most. Apart from that, you shouldn't have too much trouble getting around and finding everything you need to with the central hub always present.

I have been diy'ing gel polish manicures, and so far Gelac is my favorite brand. The wear is great, colors are amazing, and it is super easy to put on...just a bit of a process. I love the color 'reserve', it's a shimmery taupe/grey and 'rich raisin'.
I get about a week and a half's worth of wear before I take it off - probably if I had it done it would last longer - and it looks good until I take it off. I'd definitely compare it to Shellac, except with a much, much wider color palette.
I bought the Electric Red for my Toes cause Nail Polish does not stay on my my nails if my life depended on it. So I bought the IB Gel introductory kit and bought this color to put on my toe nails.
Its sooo pretty and SUPER glossy and looks like I had a pedicure! Very easy and simple, its like painting on your nails and then in the UV light your feet go for 2 min!
I would highly reccomend that if you are having trouble with nail polish staying on your nails.. I highly recommend trying this~!

Generally I like the quotes. But I totally disagree with Henry A. Kissinger, because he was in public office, and it seems to me that he has a responsibility to the public.He (and another public official) goes around saying something about they did it because it is the way they are, Thanks for the quotes,Don.Even the Kissinger quote, it makes me think (and vent). |

The Boston Red Sox have holes up and down the lineup, including left field, first base and the starting rotation. However, one of the trickier spots that the Red Sox have to decide upon is what to do at shortstop.
As of right now, they do have an option in Jose Iglesias. The 22-year-old Cuban has spent one year in the majors and has already proven to be an elite fielder. However, the problem is that the he batted .118 this season and at this point, the Red Sox – given how bad their batting order is – can handle having him take up one of the spots.
On one hand, experts who follow baseball and make their MLB picks will suggest that he's still very young. He's had limited at-bats (just 74 in his career) and that his hitting can improve over time. That's a reasonable assessment – especially since we are talking about someone who is 22 and not 32. At the same time, Red Sox Nation is not one to sit around and be patient and the team might not be able to afford having an unproductive shortstop.
The problem is that there aren't many shortstops available that can offer the pop the Red Sox are looking for. Marco Scutaro will be a free agent and while he's had an excellent season in San Francisco, it's unclear if the Red Sox would really want to bring him back. Another option could be Stephen Drew but he's no sure thing either.
The BoSox may have to stick it out with Iglesias and hope that his hitting improves over the course of the next season. He's probably better as a part-time player this early in his career but the Red Sox are short on options at the shortstop position.

Ted Nugent will perform at RidgeFest on July 27 in Chicago Ridge. | File photo
Updated: August 23, 2013 6:22AM
Some people can't wait for Ted Nugent at RidgeFest in Chicago Ridge. The Motor City Madman shreds, but I can't wait for fun with my neighbors at the best summer festival around.
Gov. Pat Quinn should pass a stand-your-ground law here in Illinois.
Mike P. from Chicago
I was pulling out of the credit union when a man pulled in and kicked his door open. That's how we get dings.
Can we all agree to stop using the term "public servant" for public employees? First of all, they are not servants. Secondly, like all of us, they are motivated by self-interest. Unfortunately, especially the politicians have created a new nobility class with rampant nepotism, patronage hiring and outrageous benefits and pensions unheard of in the private sector. This is all at the expense of the struggling taxpayer.
New Lenox
Is what celebrity chef Paula Deen said, using the N-word, questionable? Yes, but I think it's time to forgive and forget and not keep that lingering. We forgot and forgave the Rev. Jesse Jackson when he made derogatory remarks about Jewish people.
Chicago Heights
How is someone who gets free food, education, college, mentoring, medical, housing and more considered underprivileged? I consider the kids and families who have to do everything on their own with absolutely no help the true underprivileged.
Singer Beyonce called for a moment of silence for Trayvon Martin during a concert. How about adding a moment of silence for each girl and boy shot to death in Chicago since Martin's death?
Len from Oak Forest
I'd like to know who these doctors are in Speak Out and Forum who are sure former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. is faking mental illness. Have they considered he truly is bipolar? His absence from Congress before he resigned played a part in people thinking he's faking. However, all indications are he is being treated by doctors for bipolarism. But the comments show why someone would hide they are bipolar or have mental illness. Even if people do believe you, they unfairly scrutinize and judge. So enough of these mean-spirited comments from people who are not treating Mr. Jackson.
Well, I've seen it all. I went to Mass recently and I viewed a woman talking on a cellular phone as she proceeded up the aisle to receive Communion. She wasn't near me, but it took all I had to restrain myself in the midst of one of the most blatant demonstrations of disrespect I have ever witnessed. Not only that, but this woman continued to talk when she returned to her pew. When Mass ended she was gone. Good for her!
Tom from Evergreen Park
In response to the statement that gasoline prices are going up due to the unrest in Egypt, then why does it seem like Illinois is the only state in the union affected by this?
My mom is on disability. She cannot get out of a car with ease as it's too low to the ground. She drives a pickup.
In regard to the race-baiting sign in front of First Baptist Church in University Park, apparently the Rev. Reginald Williams Jr. does not read his Bible much. Exodus 20: 1 through 20, commonly called the Ten Commandments, states, "Thou shalt not kill," which is one of the commandments. I think race is irrelevant.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel should appoint a Republican to fill Ald. Dick Mell's seat on the city council so Rahm would have someone to blame all the problems of the city on. I think that is who he blamed everything on when he was in Washington, D.C.
Do you trust the people running our government? If you do, I have a bridge for sale in New York. For those of us old enough to remember Nazi Germany, it looks like Nazi military leader Hermann Goring is running the U.S. Department of Justice and Nazi military commander Heinrich Himmler is running the National Security Agency and the Internal Revenue Service. Those two did a great job spying on the Germans. Now those in power in America do a great job spying on our telephones and computers. Even reporters are spied on. What happened to freedom in this country?
Bill from Burbank
I agree we should secure our borders but not with a mindless kill-them-all attitude.

How is it justice for Trayvon Martin to riot, burn cars and break into stores?
I watch "Catfish" on MTV. People can meet online and develop a relationship. I've made friend online who turned out to be who he or she said she was. They're not all fakers out there.
It was stated that Illinois voters should give the Republicans a chance while pointing out all of the negative problems with the Democrats. We have been giving both parties a chance and still end up with corrupted or incompetent leadership. So maybe what we need is an independent governor who is not obligated to either party.
BJ from Hazel Crest
Don't attack George Zimmerman. It was the law that was in place that allowed him to carry the gun and protect himself. Attack the law that is in place. I think if it was a black shooter and victim or a white shooter and victim, then this case wouldn't have even made the national news.

When I was first experimentin with lipstick, my mom gave me this one as she didn't use it. I'm not a fan of it alone, Ben though it's not nearly as bad as some of the frosty ones other brands have come out with. I like to put it on the center of my bottom lip after applying a different lipstick to provide some depth and added snazziness.
Very pretty baby pink color with silver glitter is how I would describe this color. On my lips it feels like a lipbalm and it is pigmented. It has SPF15 and it last about 3 hours on my lips and after I eat there are still some colors and the glitter stays on all day. If you do not like glitter do not get this. I personally like the glitter. This does have scent to it. It has that cosmetic scent that I usually smell in most cover girl and maybelline lipsticks. The price point is reasonable, I brought this for about $7 at CVS and most times I use my CVS bucks.
I absolutely love this product and have been using it for years, before they changed its name to "Cutie." Not a huge buyer of CG, but I discovered this in high school when that was what I could afford, and it has been a staple in my makeup bag ever since! It's def more of a stick than a gloss - creamy, smooth, and not sticky! (unless you're slapping it on already chapped lips in which case, well...it's not chapstick) I personally love the color. Very baby pink with a silvery shimmer, gorgeous with smokey or darkly made up eyes. I sometimes add lip liner with it if I want to change up or darken the color. Another really nice thing is that bcuz it's so low-cost, I never worry about tossing it in my bag every time I go out bcuz if I lose it, it's easily replaceable! (though sometimes it'll be out of stock - I think this is the most popular Lipslicks color)
This is a real pretty baby pink nude w/ quite a bit of frost. I wouldnt buy again because the color doesnt work with my red hair but I could see this working for alot of other people. Feels light but creamy and is moisturizing for me.
This product is okay. I think the color is slightly dull for my PPP skin, but it is creamy and glides on smoothly.
I actually like this a lot, and I am not a fan of CG at all. I have 2 other colors of these and I never use those. But this one is my FAVE!!! However I could never wear this on its own sadly, but I can put it over any lip color and it looks sooo pretty and yummy. I also like how it is creamy and slightly glossy, not full on gloss. On my lips it looks very pouty, so that's a big plus in my book. And, surprisingly enough at the end of a full day w/out re-applying this, I still find it lasts (minus the moisture... but that's all right with me)
I don't like the packaging (the paper stuff is still stuck on the cap in some places) and also, as someone noted- the smell... ugh. BUT despite those complaints, I will continue to repurchase this.
This is a really nice color. This is definitely more of a lipstick than a gloss, but it's definitely more creamy and smooth than any of Cover Girl's other lipsticks. I don't like the smell, kind of old grandma perfume-y.
More reviews by skandelouslala
I've repurchased this several times so I guess it is a winner in my book =) Although CG has renamed these all more 'trendy' names, Shimmering Sandstone is now called "Cutie" I do believe..or something to that effect. It provides a sheer pink glaze on my lips with a tiny hint of frost.
I really love Lipslicks..always wishing that CG would come out with new shades or something. They're lightly moisturizing and the sheer tint of color is perfect. ..It's really one of those no fuss products that you can just slick on and go. continued >>

Amendment One supporters are crying foul. They are, as they say it, victims of "bully tactics."
Their proof – a picture of a church's vandalized outdoor sign.
Although a popular political protest tool, vandalism is illegal. But in this instance – where does the moniker of "bully" lay? The vandal? Or the coordinated movement to enshrine bigotry and hatred into North Carolina's Constitution? As not to be a bully about it – I'll let you make the final determination.
But I know where I stand. I, like the figure those behind Amendment One revere, am a bully – a bully for love.

Well said, and very likely true.
The little utility it had at one time was ruined when they decided to sell your information to salespeople so they can "link" with you and try to sell you stuff.
One thing I don't need is more salespeople contacting me and wanting to sell me stuff.
Also their random-recommendations has been a joke from day 1.
I have to ask why anybody even uses the service any more.
"Russia did it better on less than one hundredth of the budget,"
Russia never landed a human on the moon.
He's referring to politicians who confuse magazines with a round of ammunition.
"People should study what they want."
Sure. Just don't expect to earn a living at it when you're done.
Still, I question the advice. If you really love "literature", there's no one stopping you from studying down at the local library and the internet.
Seems to me if you know you can't get a job at it, its a Hobby, not a Profession. Plan your investment accordingly.
"We've thought about buying an iPad for guests to use, but decided it wasn't right to knowingly let others use a computing platform that may have been compromised."
So you won't get an iPad for guests because you don't like Apple's philosophy of the platform?
Or ??????
Also, West Virginia has a lot of small wirless phone companies that managed to grab the frequencies that were used by the larger carriers resulting in spotty service. They simply didn't invest money in infrastructure, so the citizens of WV were stuck with substandard cell service.
LTE should improve that since the feds sold those frequencies to big players like Verizion Wireless & AT&T who will likely invest a lot more in cell towers and improve service.
"and sticking it to the man"
At $10/hour, I don't think they mind. They say "please stick it to me some more!"
""Apple's long-rumored "iWatch" could earn the company $6 billion a year"
Only if they charge $1B per copy.
Watches are for fashion. People use their phone to check for time. They won't get rid of their 4" phone screen for a 1" watch screen
"Perhaps the screw-up was on your part"
Yes, blame the victim of incompetence. Nice.
Microsoft Surface is not the name of a particular tablet, but a line of tablets which includes Windows RT & Windows 8 Pro
Windows 8 Pro Surface does not require signed binaries, it is simply Windows Pro.
They're talking specifically about Windows RT, and its not any better or worse than an iPad.
"We had a bailout because people weren't buying American cars because they were shit"
Actually, American car company's costs structure was (and is) too high so companies like GM were slowly going out of business.
The economic downturn simply accelerated the inevitable.
"Except that consumers actually prefer no-haggle pricing"
There's no rule that says you have to haggle.
Just go into the dealer, ask how much they want and pay it.
Congratulations, you've just ensured that somebody is cold because of a misplaced sense of how to get a job done.

Re: Merge Reducers Output

UPDATE: The Powell County Coroner has released the names of the two teenagers who died in a motorcycle collision on Thursday.
The victims are 14 year old Cheyenne Harbour and 15 year old Jory Thomas, both from Elliston.
The name of the 14 year old Elliston female being treated at St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula is not being released.
HELENA - The Montana Highway Patrol confirms that two teenagers have died after a motorcycle accident near Elliston on Thursday evening.
MHP was dispatched at about 11:40 pm to Highway 12, mile marker 22, for a report of a motorcycle accident.
The two motorcycles collided in the east bound lane of the highway.
The driver of the first motorcycle was a 14-year-old female from Elliston.
The driver of the second motorcycle was also a 14-year-female from Elliston; the second motorcycle was carrying a 15-year-old male passenger from Elliston.
The driver of the first motorcycle and the passenger of the second motorcycle both sustained fatal head injuries and were declared dead at the scene.
The driver of the second motorcycle was transported to St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula.
None of the teenagers were wearing helmets. The first motorcycle did not have active head lamps.
The cause of the collision is still being investigated, but MHP says that speed was not a factor.

General Information:
How do geologists know what they know about geologic time? How do they strive to understand physical processes that operate on Earth, such as how earthquakes work and how mountain rise? The answer to these questions lies buried within the Earth's rock record. Concord's field course addresses these questions by helping you develop an understanding of field research and how it is connected to data derived in the laboratory. Our field camp will help you develop an authentic understanding of field relations, geologic processes, and geologic time. The course will also develop your ability to think and work as a geoscientist and increase your confidence. In order to accomplish this, you will learn to produce geologic maps, collect and record reliable field data, and test hypotheses. The experience builds teamwork while mapping igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks with differing deformation histories.The Concord University geology field camp is offered for 6 semester hours and includes approximately 5 weeks of field work from late May through the end of June. Projects include mapping and interpretation of: (1) Faulted Precambrian and Paleozoic rocks at the margin of the Laramide White River uplift in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado, (2) Faulted Precambrian and Mesozoic rocks along the flanks of the Uncompahgre uplift near Grand Junction and Crested Butte, Colorado, (3) Precambrian high-grade metamorphic rocks and fault rocks in the Sawatch Range near Leadville, Colorado, (4) Eocene volcanic rocks near Buena Vista, Colorado, and (5) Mesozoic strata on the Colorado Plateau at Arches National Park, Utah. Regional field trips to several national parks and monuments are scheduled between field exercises to examine the geological evolution of the Rocky Mountains and Colorado Plateau. Prerequisites: 12 hours in geology, including one year of introductory geology (Geol 101 and Geol 202) and an additional upper-level lab course in geology (Geol 370 - Earth Materials and Minerals). Most participants will also have completed coursework in structural geology and petrology. Limited enrollment by students outside of Concord University is available on a first-come, first-served basis subject to space limitations. For additional information, contact:
Dr. J.L. AllenCOST: The total cost for the trip will be $1250 (tentative travel fee) plus tuition for Concord students. The travel fee will include lodging, ~75% of meals, and transportation. The cost for non-Concord students will be $1500 plus tuition and institutional fees (~$1602/$3528 in-state/out-of-state for tuition).
Some externally funded scholarships are available for qualified students. Additional federal financial aid for the trip may be available during the Fall semester if you qualify. Ask the instructor or the financial aid office for more details.

"Delicious! I doubled the recipe & put the dough in a 9" round silicone cake pan & it came out perfect. The bread is delicious. Instead of butter, with 5 min left to bake - I did a egg white wash & sprinkled rosemary & sea salt. Next time I'll try Parmesan too!
Great for egg sandwiches!"
"This was delicious & very filling! The piece right out of the oven was so good! I put a little sea salt on top with the egg wash."
"I make this bread every other week. One to eat all week & one sliced & into the freezer for the following week. I pop the frozen slices in the microwave for 15 secs & into the toaster, and fresh bread again! The only thing I do differently than this great recipe - is add a tbsp of sugar to the yeast & let it sit for 5 minutes. I also use loaf ..."

Nonfiction books are often considered the inferior cousins to story books, or fiction books. However, for educational reasons, enjoyment, and personal growth, kids need access to a collection of quality nonfiction books. Homeschool families and librarians are well aware of this and they provide kids with nonfiction fun books from some of the best children's publishers.
You don't have to be a homeschooler to get a kid reading an encyclopedia or fact book. Just find them an entertaining, absorbing nonfiction book they'll love.
Topics in Nonfiction Kids Books
There are many fun topics in nonfiction kids books. Here are some popular ones.
- Science, nature, animals, weather, Earth science, geography, field guides.
- Technology, machines, cars, planes, how things work.
- Arts, crafts, and cooking.
- How to books and "survival" guides.
- Record and fact books, reference books (encyclopedias and dictionaries).
- True stories - heroes, history, war, biographies.
- Hobbies, puzzles, magic, and games.
- Sports, dancing, pets.
The two most recognized publishers in children's nonfiction are Usborne and Dorling Kindersley.
