Great place, comfortable beds, clean, rooms have lots of space. Nice patio area on roof, tea and coffee, fridge and washing facilities. Really close to city centre. Great value for money! Only thing is you have to walk up a lot of steps! I would really recommend this place though.

Surveillance photo shows a man police believe broke into Miso's Overflow, 6309 Kennedy Ave., Hammond, in September and Sportsman's Tap, 6320 Kennedy Ave., Hammond, Jan. 3, 2014. | Photo provided
Hammond Police are looking for a man suspected of breaking into two Hessville bars in the last few months.
At 1:48 a.m. Jan. 3, a man broke the glass out of the front window at Sportsman's Tap, 6320 Kennedy Ave. with a three-pound hammer, police said. He went directly behind the bar and rifled through a cabinet, surveillance video shows. Police said he was inside the building for 90 seconds or less and left without taking anything.
On Sept. 25, a man used a sledge hammer to break the glass on the west side of Miso's Overflow, 6309 Kennedy Ave. Police said $1,300 was taken in the break-in, which ocurred at about 4:30 a.m.
The suspect went directly behind the bar, located the money in a drawer and exited within two minutes, police said.
Detective Mark Detterline said in an email that one man is thought to be responsible for both break-ins.
Anyone with any information should contact the Hammond Police Department burglary division at
(219) 852-2906.

World of Warcraft dips to a mere 11.4 million subscribers {WoW}
May 9th 2011 10:55PM I'd like to know how Blizzard defines "content" here. Indeed, the leveling curve in this xpac got people to 85 too quickly, and yes, many raiding guilds have taken down the 10-man versions of the expansion's bosses on normal, but 25-man? Heroic? Not so much.
One of the issues that has been a major problem with staying power in my guild is heroic burnout. Our best players are mostly people who have been around since BC at least. For them, heroic modes are really not "content" - it's truly boring to go into a boss fight you've (necessarily) already beaten and bang your head against the wall for 4 hours because the boss has 20% more health and some cute new gimmick on heroic. It doesn't feel like progress - wiping on a boss you already know how to kill is humiliating. It feels like your raid force is getting weaker, not stronger. This is so regardless of the fact that you know it's heroic mode. It's still wiping on fricking Magmaw for hours four months into the xpac.
There are plenty of other problems that may be to blame for this decline in playerbase, but for me and mine the drudgery of heroics is a significant part.

Scattered Shots: Patch 4.1 hunter AoE changes {WoW}
Mar 10th 2011 3:44PM I don't know how I feel about trashing the happiness system.
As things are, it's not exactly tough to manage - talent Bloodthirsty or grab a Mend Pet glyph and you never really need to worry about it. Pets don't run away when at 0 happiness anymore and it just takes a minute or two to get them into the green zone again if you (somehow) let them get that low. So, I don't really think it counts as a quality of life change - there is no hardship to improve.
I understand getting rid of pet leveling. It's tedious and prohibitive.
But a lot of the recent changes are just making hunter pets less interesting. Getting rid of Eyes of the Beast, for instance, was a small change, but it took away our ability to play with the pet itself. It removes us from the pet, from paying attention to the pet. Removing the happiness system has a similar effect. I'll just ignore my pet more now.
Scattered Shots: Hotfix hunter changes speculation {WoW}
Feb 22nd 2011 1:19AM I'd suggest:
Tanks will inform hunters of how they want them to trap, rather than assuming that all tanks tank in exactly the same way and that, therefore, the hunter ought to "just know" what they want.
Tanks will stop asking hunters to Distracting Shot-pull casters.
Scattered Shots: Hunter spec and class balance {WoW}
Jan 3rd 2011 2:31PM @JT
You seem to be conflating anecdote and datum.
The former is a narrative while the later is reliable, sourced evidence suitable for making "scientific" claims.
No WoR log is an anecdote. A single log contains a great deal of data, but not a single anecdote. Ergo, Frostheim's analysis is NOT based on an aggregate of anecdotes.
Furthermore, a single bad experience, regardless of whether it is presented as anecdotal evidence or data, is irrelevant NOT because it doesn't match the author's claims BUT RATHER because it either (a) does little or nothing to the AVERAGE, which is what we care about, or (b) is a statistical outlier and should be omitted from the data/evidence anyway.
Finally, you seem to be distraught over the notion that Joe the Under-Performing Hunter is not necessarily included in these parses. Recognize that this post/discussion is not about players. This post is about coefficients. It's about whether our spell coefficients need to be raised or lowered and to what extent. There are a great many posts on this site, Elitist Jerks, and elsewhere regarding how to help the Joe the Under-Performing Hunter do better DPS. This is not one of them.
Breakfast Topic: Elementals vs. Zombies -- which event was better? {WoW}
Dec 6th 2010 11:24AM The unsustainable uniqueness of the Zombie event's mechanics made
it memorable. For once, WE were the generals, not the foot-soldiers.
We ordered our little armies around, short-lived and mindless though
they were; we didn't just wreak havoc, we commanded it. Obviously, the
game as a whole couldn't last this way, but it was /riveting/ while it
was going on.
As an alchemist (on an RP server, no less), I was excited and proud at
first that I had potions to distribute among treasured friends. I'd
farm mats and mail disease cleansing packages out. But the plague grew
resistant. Three, four, five potions and nothing! Flesh curdled over
bone. Precious seconds ticked away. Panic set in. I had a desperate
choice to make: succumb to the addictive vice of my own manufacture or
to the omnipresent disease. I pulled the stopper from my last vial as
my vision began to blur, my eyes burned, my head ached...
For once, rather than having a scripted RP story to play out,
everything happening in those few days was as much a surprise to me as
it was to the character. I couldn't run the story I wanted to. My
character's motives and desires were nothing more than the petty
wishes of one among the tormented masses. I absolutely loved the fact
that my potions stopped working. Control, pride, and power all slipped
away from my character under the influence of /mere artifacts/ of the
Lich King's will. I, personally, was awed.
It was like being in the best tabletop D&D game ever.

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.
'Why?' asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
'Well, I'm a panda,' he says, at the door. 'Look it up.'
The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. 'Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.'

Drama Mamas: Raiding while female {WoW}
Oct 22nd 2010 11:46AM Joakim, I agree with a lot of what you said, but the point about speaking in vent is a bit off-target, I think.
During a 10- or 25-player raid, the only people who should be speaking are raid leaders and designated callers (the "Defile in 5!" voice).
This has nothing to do with status in the guild, sex, age, or any other classifier. It's about maintaining an environment in which people can execute a complex fight.
During social times, you're absolutely correct. No one should feel muted. Besides, lurking in social vent is strange and gets on people's nerves - I agree that it's odd to advise that the writer to do something that will just annoy her guildmates.
Since we're talking about raiding guilds though, it's fair to say that most of the writer's time in vent will be raiding time. So, she, like everyone else, should be quiet unless asked to speak.

Big Bird Responds to Mitt Romney's Debate Threat on 'Saturday Night Live'
The big yellow bird was sleepy--'Saturday Night Live' is way past his bedtime.
October 8, 2012
By Alex Kane
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney created quite a stir at the first debate last week when he said, "I'm going to stop the subsidy to PBS," adding that while he loves "Big Bird," he's "not going to keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for us."
Big Bird on SNL: http://www.hulu.com/watch/409934
that Mr. Obama gave Mr. Romney a big bird right after the debate. Is there any truth to the rumor? ;-)

The Fall 2013 Lolo School bond issue failed by 43 votes. Through community input sessions, board meetings and individual conversations the Lolo School District and its Board of Trustees have been asked to run the bond issue again. The request will be for the same $10.5 but with slightly less taxpayer impact.
Several years of initial analysis and board discussion with numerous community involvment. 30 sessions where held that included participation from community, parent, student, business and school members spending 4 days of intense analysis / brainstorming / final recommendations.
Election: Mail ballots will be sent out February 20 with final election day on March 12.
Cost: $10.5 million bond with approximate tax impact of $225 / year (less than $20 / month) on $200,000 home.
With historically low bond rates, a prudent time to request a bond in order to lessen tax impact / get more for the money.
Continued safety / security risks
Likely loss of space for tutoring, technology, extra classrooms
Additional costs for temporary solutions that would otherwise be spent on permanent solution

CBP selects cargo pilot program participants
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection has named A. N. Deringer, Expeditors, FedEx Trade Networks, FH Kaysing, Janel Group of New York, Kuehne + Nagel, Livingston International, Page & Jones, and UPS as participants in its simplified entry for airfreight pilot program.
The program, which was established to test the strength of the CBP's Automated Commercial Environment system, could have strong implications for border safety, advocates said. In addition to replacing CBP Form 3461 with a condensed merchandise release document, it also lowers transaction costs, they explained.
"This is a real win-win," Allen Gina, assistant commissioner for the CBP's Office of International Trade, said in a statement. "The pilot will enhance national security because CBP can identify and address potential risks earlier in the process, and cargo will be expedited because the importers have more time to resolve potential problems before the goods arrive in the U.S."
Under the program, the nine selected brokers will submit a streamlined data form with 12 required elements and three optional items prior to the shipment's arrival to the U.S. Nike, USA Inc., GE Energy, Chrysler Group, New Balance Athletic Shoe, Ford Motor Co., Boeing and Lear Corp. are among the manufacturers represented in the pilot program, a CBP press release revealed.
"The simplified entry can be filed much earlier in the import process, allowing an expanded window of opportunity to identify potential risks earlier," according to a press release. "It will also allow pilot participants to update entry information, providing CBP more accurate data and enhancing cargo security."

Police in Santa Fe, New Mexico are warning people to be aware of women offering soul cleansings to ward off evil spirits. It's already happened to at least one man whose soul may or may not have been cleansed, but his wallet and bank account certainly were.
In honor of May as Zombie Awareness Month we present the Zombie, both in the public record and on the police blotter, who has officially lurched to the forefront of public consciousness after 100 years of lurking in the darkness at its edges.
At the peak of his success, money manager Kenneth Wayne McLeod was living the high life off the savings of his many clients, who believed their money was safely invested and earning them interest. Though his Ponzi scheme was not remarkable, his victims were. They numbered in the hundreds, many were law enforcement employees.
From our friends at The Daily Dot: "Somebody help me," pleaded Kate Brianna Felton on Twitter shortly before a friend reported her missing to the U.S. Embassy in Moldova. Soon police were combing hotels and hostels in a European town looking for the teenage kidnapping victim. But they would never find her. Kate Brianna Felton did not exist.
Throughout much of her twenties, Treva Throneberry pretended to be a teenager. She wore pigtails and attended prom, and convinced those who helped her that she'd been a victim of heinous abuse at the hands of Satanists.

BAGHDAD, July 1 — Around 1115, a small convoy takes fire just past the Al Walid mosque in Baghdad. I'm getting the story in a treatment room back at 28th CSH, where Sergeant Jared Stern is visiting his wounded buddy, Sergeant Matt Rogers.
"I hear Rogers yell 'Stop!' over the intercom," Stern says. "I couldn't hear the rest. The last truck got hit, and Rogers and our medic were wounded." The medic took shrapnel to the face and upper arm, Rogers to his back, shoulders and arms.
At lunch, the soldiers and contractors discuss—dissect, really—that morning's rocket attack: Upon who, why and—most importantly—where did it land? It's typical soldier talk, salted with irreverence, profanity and priceless jolts of utter hilarity. The humor this time centers on Specialists Drew Whitlock and Albert Graziani (pictured at right). They're close friends—so close that Graziani calls his pal seconds after the rockets hit to make sure he's OK. Only things is, they're roommates, so when Whitlock looks at his cell and sees it's Graziani, he says, "Why are you calling me? I'm across the room."
This cracks up the table, and as Graziani tries to defend himself, Whitlock does him in: "So he hangs up, and then he text messages me!"
We are all rolling now, even Graziani, who tries to defend himself. In true Army style, the table attacks Graziani mercilessly. The hits come from all sides, with guys talking over one another to get in the next barrage. Whitlock isn't spared, either. He's considered righteous collateral damage. —Leslie Sabbagh

We moved last fall to a rowhouse/townhouse condo in downtown DC. The community has a very suburban feel to it (open garden spaces and lots of trees around the community). We don't have an individual yard but our front door opens to a shared garden / patio that the community has newly landscaped. (Hopefully, in the future I can be on the landscape commitee -- but that may take awhile)
I thought I would try to attract hummingbirds by some container planting on our front stoop. I ordered salvia (black & blue) and bee balm (jacob cline), because I want some color on our front patio, and I heard that they are good draw hummingbirds. Does anyone have any similar experiences, trying to draw hummingbirds in a urban area? Is it even possible? |

Nova, I did a ton of research on plants for hummingbirds and you have selected two of the absolute best. I was just in DC two weeks ago for the first time and to me, the city seemed to have much more green space than most. I'd guess this means there are plenty of HB's around. If possible you should also put up a feeder as this may attract them before your plants bloom. I recommend First Nature feeders. They are not as attractive as some of the "designer" feeders, but they are safer, easier to clean, cheap, and the birds seem to prefer them. |

dont waste your time with the expensive feeders i have a few "designer" feeders, Guess where they are, in the basement. I never saw one feeding from them. They always liked the cheaper feeders. Today one stayed on the First Nature feeder for an extended time |

I have to agree with Stevec you have selected two of the very best. There is a person on this forum who lives in high rise in Pa and she just has a balcony and yet lures her share of hummers so I think most any setting can bring in hummers if done right. |
Nova, You're dead on target with your plants. And yes Hummers are in our cities. I've three feeders on a third floor balcony and lots of hummer visitors here. Good luck. |
- Posted by gawdinfever z6/St. Louis, MO (My Page) on Sat, May 1, 10 at 23:45
Cheap feeders ARE the best! I threw my others away. One more flower to consider...Coral Nymph Salvia. After seeing how much they loved it the first time, it's a staple in my garden! |
I live in Bethesda, MD, about a half mile "inside the beltway", which I would consider very close in suburban/urban. I have no trouble attracting hummers, but it does take much patience at first. I have still not seen my annual visitors, but they usually arrive between now and Mother's Day. I find Four O'Clock flowers attract hummers. These annuals can be grown in pots and are of the tubular shape that hummers prefer. |
Great photos, gawdinfever!!! |

If we sometimes think of organised crime as a feature of the modern day underworld, occasionally it's worth remembering that it has in fact been with us for longer than most of us realise. In this series of posts we'll have a look at some of the gangs who burnt brightly in their era but no longer exist.
The Brummagem Boys
In post-First World War England (1914-1918), crime was rife and threatening to spiral out of control. Into this mix a number of regional criminal enterprises emerged to take advantage of the situation. London had the Hoxton Gang, the Italian Mob and the Bethnal Green Mob, Yorkshire had the Leeds Mob and Birmingham had its notorious Brummagem Boys.
The main focus of these gangs eventually became the chaotic racetracks, especially Epsom and Ascot, at which unlicensed bookmakers regularly fleeced customers. These bookies used the gangs as protection (from angry customers and other bookies) and the Brummagem Boys, led by the clever and charismatic Billy Kimber, had fingers in this protection racket all over the country.
The Brummagem Boys had alliances with the Hoxton Gang and the Leeds Mob and used these alliances to spread their influence further. Their main rivals the Italian Mob, led by Charles 'Darby' Sabini, also had their eyes on the racetracks and this rivalry led to one of the most notorious and brutal events of the 1920s.
On the first day of the Epsom Derby in 1921, the Italian Mob were known to be visiting the racetrack. The Brummagem Boys and the Leeds Mob had made their way to the racetrack separately to confront the Italians but the presence of so many Metropolitan Police officers made them think again. Leaving by car, the Brummagem Boys set up an ambush on the route back towards London and waited for the Italians to drive by.
When two cars appeared on the road near the village of Stoneleigh in Surrey, the Brummagems blocked the road, rushed from behind the bushes and attacked the cars with bricks, hammers and other metal implements. Dragging the occupants from the car, they proceeded to batter and slash the men with knives until it looked like someone would be killed. Suddenly one of the injured men recognised the attackers and realised the error, shouting "Stop it, we're the Leeds Mob" – the Brummagems had ambushed and attacked the Leeds Mob rather than the Italians. By this time however the attack had taken on a life of its own and did not stop until the Brummagem Boys were satisfied.
By 1921 the police were becoming more effective in tracking down and prosecuting the gangs and when the Brummagems car was spotted outside the George and Dragon pub near Richmond Park in London, several officers were sent to investigate. Unusually, one of the officers, Sergeant Dawson, was armed with a revolver and it proved vital. When the gang saw the police they attempted to rush Dawson but he drew his weapon and calmly said "I shall shoot the first man who tries to escape!" Twenty three gang members were sentenced to prison terms in the ensuing trial.

Cristopher Cross VALENTINES DAY CONCERT at The Niswonger
- February 14, 2013 at 7:30pm until 10:00pm
Location: The Niswonger Performing Arts Center in Van Wert, Ohio
Cost: Tickets: $18-$42
Thursday, February 14, 2013 ~ 7:30 pm
Christopher Cross was by far the biggest new star of 1980, virtually defining adult contemporary radio with a series of smoothly sophisticated ballads including the #1 hit, "Sailing." Christopher Cross' 1980 self-titled debut album with the lead single "Ride Like the Wind" rocketed to the #2 spot; the massive success of the second single "Sailing" made Cross a superstar, and in the wake of two more Top 20 hits, "Never Be the Same" and "Say You'll Be Mine," he walked off with an unprecedented and record-setting five Grammys in 1981, including Best New Artist and Song of the Year for "Sailing." He soon scored a second #1, as well as an Academy Award, with "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)," which he co-wrote with Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager, and Peter Allen for the smash Dudley Moore film comedy Arthur.
Tickets: $18-$42. Niswonger Box Office: 419-238-6722 or online www.npacvw.org

Mortar Board is a call for caring.
Mortar Board was the first national organization honoring senior college women. The evolution of Mortar Board mirrors an attempt to keep pace with an ever-changing society.
It was on the campus of the University of Chicago in the fall of 1915 when a member of Mortar Board from The Ohio State University met a member of Pi Sigma Chi from Swarthmore College. Both women wore similar pins in the shape of a mortarboard. Through discussion they realized each represented an honor society for women with similar election methods, operating procedures, ideals, and traditions. The main difference in the honor societies was their names.
The founding meeting for the organization of the national honor society took place at Syracuse University on February 15, 1918. Representatives were from Cornell University, The University of Michigan, The Ohio State University, Swarthmore College as well as Syracuse University, which did not choose to join the national organization when it became Mortar Board following the founding meeting.
The founding meeting adopted the pin of The Ohio State University, a small black mortarboard. A motto was adopted, taken from the Greek words meaning service, scholarship, and leadership, to be represented by three Greek letters, Pi Sigma Alpha, the letters which appear on the pin. The constitution was adopted from a tentative plan outlined by Swarthmore. Officially the society remained nameless until the second convention at The University of Michigan, but correspondence with prospective chapters following the February 1918 meeting referred to the new organization as Mortar Board, the name and spelling of the Ohio State honor society.
Click here for more history
Membership is a creative demand. You were not tapped as an immobile museum piece for we are not interested in erecting marble monuments to scholarship, leadership, and service. Ours is a more dynamic principle-the hope that you will continue and even surpass what you have successfully begun here at college.
To accept Mortar Board membership is to accept responsibility- Not to an impersonal institution, but rather to yourself and to the individuals around you.

"Thanks for such a great recipe. I've been using it for quite a while now and have always thought it was great.

"I've really only had blueberry muffins from a box mix and from grocery store bakeries, so I've never really had a lot of interest in them. Kind of blah. But this recipe has turned that all around. When can I have more???? I just can't get enough. I was going to try a couple different recipes, but I see no need now. This one is perfect. I used fres..."
"My little one-year-old loves these. You should see how big his eyes get when I hand one to him. I like them too and I'm having a hard time not running into the kitchen and snitching them all right now. I am somewhat confused, though, about what size they are supposed to be.

"This was perfect and so easy! The constitency was just right and it tastes delicious. I tried it on pancakes and found those didn't sop up the syrup well (I like my pancakes soggy!) but it would be great as a topping for french toast, crepes, and various desserts. I will definitely be using this recipe a lot in the future."
"What a fabulous recipe! I've never cooked pork loin before, so I looked through all the recipes posted here and I'm glad I just happened to pick this one--no need to try any other. It's absolutely delicious. The meat was very tender and flavorful. I cooked it just over an hour. When I added the orange juice I used a spoonful of oj concentrate and ..."
"These are really very good and I ate as many as I do when I go to Red Lobster. I especially like how simple they are. I don't like to go through the bother of making rolled biscuits, but plain old drop biscuits tastes...well, plain and old. I didn't get to add the butter and garlic on top when I made them the first time, and even though they were ..."
"This is my mom's recipe and I confess I didn't think much of it when I was a kid. I don't know why though, because I tried it again recently and it is SO GOOD.

Machinima, defined by Wikipedia, is "a collection of associated production techniques whereby computer-generated imagery is rendered using real-time, interactive 3D engines, such as those of games."
Um, okay. All we know is that watching one Master Chief kiss another Master Chief is funny as hell. So are two SPARTANs arguing over the morality of teabagging, or an Elite ordering food at the drive-thru. A skilled machinima director can make you laugh, cry, feel fear... completely within the confines of the game's environment.
Before announcing our favorite Halo 3 filmmakers, here are the rules. First, the machinima had to be Halo 3 (so no classic "Red vs Blue"). Second, the clip had to be in-engine, not stuff with action figures (so no "Arby 'n the Chief" or "Master Chief Sucks at Halo"). Now, the envelopes please!
5th Place... Tenac1ous
Unlike every other director on our list, Tenac1ous doesn't have his own webpage, brand or series... just a humble YouTube channel with one seriously hilarious hidden gem. The music is perfect, the editing is perfect and, most importantly, the length is perfect. No commitment here - just 48 seconds of machinima bliss. With a twist ending!
"Spartan Love"
For more Tenac1ous videos, head here. We especially enjoy "The Best Day Ever" and "Drive Thru."
4th Place... DigitalPh33r Productions
The vast majority of machinima is comedy. "Deus Ex Machina," a sci-fi / horror / action series from DigitalPh33r Productions, is the remarkable exception. The creators understand how to squeeze unbearable suspense out of details as insignificant as a swaying blade of grass on High Ground or a pulsating pod on Isolation. They also know how to conduct a balls-out action sequence, complete with quick cuts and shaky cam.
Here's an earlier episode, still one of our favorites.
"Deus Ex Machina - Decapitator"
"Deus Ex Machina" requires a lot of commitment. It's currently up to seven episodes, some of them running more than 20 minutes. If you have the time, though, the trip's pretty thrilling. Start it here.

At one level, the business case for gender diversity is as simple and as obvious as not arbitrarily discarding resumes without looking at them. As the hiring executive, you would be outraged at the lost potential if half of your applicant pool were arbitrarily discarded. The price of ignoring gender diversity is high, and it is measured in lost potential, lost opportunities and lost credibility. It is so obvious that there seems little reason to discuss it in 2006, more than 30 years after women began entering the workforce in large numbers. Yet, women are still under-represented in the oil industry compared to other industries. While women make up more than 46% of the overall US workforce, they are only 22% of the petroleum and coal production industry and less than 21% of the refining industry (see figure). This includes all levels; the percentage of women in management, especially in engineering roles, is even smaller.

This is great for dry skin, It would be WAY to heavy in my opinion for oily skin, Maybe normal skin in winter would be ok but may even be to heavy then as well. I have DRY skin ALL YEAR, So this works great for me does work well with the Protect and Perfect Serum and it has a decent SPF so all in all I love this cream. My bottle says Lift and Luminate, not sure if this is the same one but I think it is. My skin is brighter and prettier in my opinion while using this. I have slight breakouts around my time of month and this doesn't make it worse at all. And the price is decent compared to other brands $20 can't beat that. If you have dry or mature skin this would be great for you.
Bought this cream in England and will re-purchase it here. It is definitely for dry, mature skin, and for that it is wonderful. I don't use it on my nose, as anything too heavy there will cause clogged pores. It is great for the rest of the face.

As a former Boots Beauty Advisor I can give a fairly accurate review and I must say that I've tried all the moisturizers in the Boots No7 line with the intention of switching it up constantly as to prevent my skin becoming immune to the active ingredients in each. So I've switched between Protect&Perfect cream and Lifting&Firming and so far I am satisfied with the latter because it enables smooth makeup application and contains SPF, also a plus. The price point is a little much for my frugal self, but I guess it's pretty affordable when compared to other brands. Give it a try!

For $20, I wasn't expecting miracles, but I am very happy with this product. The fine lines around my eyes are gone and I don't have to use an extra wrinkle cream. Not too heavy for my skin, but rich enough so I can use it as a night cream too. I like this much better than some expensive creams I've tried.

This didn't work for me.Too sticky,never sinks.I think I got the wrong product,this is for mature and dry skin.
Gave it to my Mom and will see.
I guess I have to try another product,too bad Target won't take'em back...
Hmmm. Where to start on this one: I took one lippie off for having sunscreen. I happen to be one of those folks who doesn't like layering different sunscreens. It just seens to wreak havoc with my skin when I do. If they could make one with and one without that'd be great, and with the one that does have it , it needs to be at least 15. Ok, aside from that only negative, I love the fact that it has shea butter relatively near the top of the ingredient list. Shea butter is a natural moisturizer and for me, it seems to prevent dehydration. I can't say it truly lifts and firms (only plastics will do that!), but my skin just seems to feel better all around. It does not make my 44 yo dry sensistive skin shine midday like some other more expensive moisturizers. The price point is also great, $20/US. Overall, I am satisfied.

The Cleveland State Lady Cougars took care of business on Saturday afternoon at Lady Cougar Field with a sweep of a doubleheader over Jackson State and in the process won their first Region VII Conference series of the season by taking three of the four games from the Lady Generals.
Both games on Saturday were as tight as they could be as the Lady Cougars somehow managed to scratch out a single run in each game in their last at-bat to get the sweep, winning game one 4-3 and the second by a final score of 9-8.
On Friday, the teams split a twin bill as the Lady Generals took game one with a 6-1 decision and the Lady Cougars did a complete turnaround in game two to take the five-inning affair, 8-0.
"I'm really proud of these girls. We needed to win a series, and they stuck with it and got it done," said Lady Cougar coach Katie Willingham. "That was our goal, to win the series, and the girls just kept coming back and got it done. They worked hard and responded when we challenged them, and it was good to finish our weekend on a high note."
The visitors jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead to start the festivities on Saturday as three straight infield singles and a sacrifice fly by Madison Ballard produced a run.
The Lady Cougars got that run back plus one in their half of the first as Sara O'Rear picked up a two-out double and then trotted home ahead of Maura Ditto who airmailed a long home run into the parking lot just inside the right field foul pole for a 2-1 lead.
CSCC tacked on another run in the second frame as Amber Covington led off the inning with a long homer that just curled inside the left field foul pole to push the lead to 3-1.
A two-out Cleveland State miscue allowed two runs to cross for the Lady Generals in the top of the third to tie the game at 3-3.
Still tied in the bottom of the sixth, the Lady Cougars mounted a rally. Pinch hitter Amber Swaney came up with the clutch two-out single as she punched a bunt attempt past the pitcher and into no man's land for what turned out to be the game-winner.
The Lady Generals made things interesting in their last at-bat as they had one on and one out, but a line shot at first baseman Ditto, turned from a sure hit into a double play to end game one.
Ida Watson went the distance to get the win for Cleveland State (11-18, 8-15) C.B. Friedman took the loss for the Lady Generals.
The Lady Generals jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the top of the first as Kirsten Henry hit a two-run homer.
The Lady Cougars countered in the bottom of the first with four big runs of their own. Ditto doubled in a pair of runs, and Sydney Howell followed with an RBI double as well and came around to score on a two-out single from Meghan Allen for a 4-2 lead.
The Lady Generals chipped away at the lead with a single run each in the second and third innings. Bo Sullivan doubled in a run in the second while a Lady Cougar miscue allowed the tying run to cross the plate.
The visitors took the lead again in the top of the fourth as Kylie Hand singled and scored ahead of a double from Henry while Henry came all the way around to score on the play after a throwing error for a 6-4 lead.
CSCC bounced right back in the bottom of the fourth as once again it was Ditto coming through with the big hit, this time a two-run single, plating Leslie Still and Sara O'rear to tie the game one more time at 6-6.
Cleveland State seesawed back on top in the bottom of the sixth as Emily Huston tripled and scored on a beautiful sacrifice bunt from O'Rear while the tying run crossed on a Lady General miscue.
A double, a sacrifice fly and another error allowed the visitors to tie the game once again in the top of the seventh, but the Lady Cougars would not be denied as they went on top for good in the bottom of the seventh.
Amber Swaney started the uprising with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt from Huston. With two outs, Leslie Still lifted a routine fly ball to centerfield. The ghosts of Lady Cougars past must have lent a hand as the would be third out bounced out of the glove and fell harmlessly to the ground, allowing the home team to win in amazing fashion.
Kelsey Capella went the distance to get the win, while Friedman took the loss.
On Friday, the Lady Generals wasted no time in taking control of game one of the series as they put four runs on the board in their first turn at the plate. Kylie Hand singled in a run to start the rally, Tiffany Keck plated two more with a base knock and Ashlayn Hardy added another on a sacrifice fly for a quick 4-0 lead.
The Lady Generals tacked on a run in the top of the sixth, but the Lady Cougars got that run back as they finally broke into the scoring column. Ciera Belcher reached on an error and came around to score on a double by Maura Ditto to cut the lead to 5-1.
Friedman doubled in a run in the top of the seventh to finish game one and also went the distance in the circle to pick up the win for the Lady Generals. Kelsey Haley took the loss for the Lady Cougars while Ida Watson pitched five innings in relief. The Lady Cougars had only four hits, while Jackson had 10.
The Lady Cougars jumped on top early in game two and scored in every inning. Ditto continued her hot hitting with an RBI double in the first while Paige Mayer doubled in a run of her own in the second for a quick 2-0 lead.
The home team tacked on three big runs in the third as Still doubled in a pair of runs and then scored on an illegal pitch for a 5-0 advantage.
The Lady Cougars added another run in the fourth on a Lady General miscue and then two more for good measure in the fifth on four singles including RBI safeties from Mayer, Huston and Jasmine Cobb to end the game in five innings.
Capella tossed a gem in the circle for Cleveland State as she completed the five-inning shutout and allowed only one hit along the way to get the win. Hardy took the loss for Jackson.
The Lady Cougars will travel to Gallatin for a four-game series with Volunteer State next weekend.

LOUISVILLE, KY – (January 22, 2013) - The University of Oklahoma is one of the most storied programs in college baseball history, boasting two national championships, 10 College World Series appearances, 35 NCAA Tournament bids and 22 conference championships.
Now, after several years with another company, Oklahoma has signed a five-year agreement to swing BBCOR bats from Louisville Slugger, baseball's leading bat maker and the Number One Bat in Major League Baseball®.
"As we enter the 2013 season, we are extremely excited to be in partnership with Louisville Slugger," said OU Head Baseball Coach Sunny Golloway. "We had a lot of options; we chose Louisville Slugger."
The Sooners are expected to be an outstanding team once again in 2013. The University of Oklahoma baseball team enters the 2013 campaign ranked 14th in the nation, according to Collegiate Baseball Newspaper's Fabulous 40 Pre-Season Poll. The Sooners have their sights set on returning to Omaha. When they do, they'll be hitting line drives and home runs with the latest in bat innovation and technology; Louisville Slugger's two-piece composite ATTACK, the hybrid EXOGRID3 and the ST+20 alloy OMAHA BALANCED.
UNC Baseball is first-class as well. The Tar Heels are a perennial participant in the NCAA Tournament and College World Series and a pre-season favorite to return to Omaha in 2013. When they do, they'll be hitting line drives and home runs with the latest in bat innovation and technology: Louisville Slugger's two-piece composite ATTACK, the hybrid EXOGRID3 and the ST+20 alloy OMAHA BALANCED.
"We're with a company that matches our tradition," Coach Golloway says. "We'll be swinging bats that are second to none."
The storied company, which is celebrating its 129th season in baseball, is honored to have OU Baseball join the Louisville Slugger family.
"We've worked with Coach Golloway in the past. His record speaks for itself. He's a winner," says Louisville Slugger College Baseball Program Manager Kevin Uhrhan.
"Being in a great baseball conference like the Big 12, we recognize that Coach Golloway and his players had a lot of options when it came to choosing bats. That's why we're thrilled they chose us. It sends a strong message to baseball players everywhere. Champions swing Louisville Slugger."
Coach Golloway and the Sooners are fully aware that the current NCAA Champion Arizona Wildcats and other top programs swing Louisville Slugger bats.
"I talked with Coach Andy Lopez at Arizona and Coach Mike Martin at Florida State," Golloway says. "They love Louisville Slugger for both the product and the service, and I've already seen that myself. Louisville Slugger's staff worked with us on what bat will be best for each individual hitter. I feel like our student-athletes have the best product, and they have a chance to compete and win."
In addition to Arizona and Florida State, Oklahoma joins other top collegiate programs sponsored by Louisville Slugger including Stanford, North Carolina, Rice, Baylor and Louisville.
About Louisville Slugger Louisville Slugger® is synonymous with baseball and softball. It is the leading brand in diamond sports. The company makes the #1 Bat in Major League Baseball, bats that are swung by the best of the best – Derek Jeter, Josh Hamilton, Joey Votto, Curtis Granderson and David Wright, among hundreds of other current MLB stars. They've all joined in Louisville Slugger's storied history to become part of a "Slugger Guy" fraternity that includes the greatest hitters to ever step up to the plate – Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson, Mickey Mantle, Roberto Clemente, George Brett, Tony Gwynn and Ken Griffey Jr., to name just a few. Louisville Slugger also makes industry-leading equipment for youth, high school and college players. It sponsors top-level NCAA Division 1 baseball programs, including the 2012 National Champion Arizona Wildcats.

Responsive design part 1
As the devices we use to access the web continue to diversify, with all manner of capabilities and screens to support, the need for adaptive websites has never been so pressing.
Only a couple of years ago, the concept of responsive web design exploded on to the scene in what had been considered at the time 'the future of the web'. In the short amount of time since, so much has changed, and so much new technology has emerged. Now, it's quite obvious that responsive design is no longer just the future of the web; it is the practical solution that developers and designers should use today.
The notion of responsive web design is a simple one: creating websites that seamlessly respond to the user's environment, based on the device, size, resolution, technical capabilities, etc. If only the implementation were as easy as its ideal definition! Since Ethan Marcotte first introduced the concept into the mainstream web-design community in his May 2010 article in A List Apart (www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design), many articles, trends and new considerations have arisen. Debates are being held left, right and centre, and there seems to be a new best practice to adhere to or trend to follow for responsive design every week.
In this feature, we hope to fully discuss all of these modern considerations, see both sides of the debates and cover the most up-to-date methods for crafting responsive designs that work not only among today's devices, but those that can be made future-proof as well.
The importance of responsive design
Several years ago, the 800 x 600 screen size was the most common, and the standard to design for. Shortly after, the 1,200 x 800 screen size seemed even larger, but is now one of the most common sizes. What the most common desktop or laptop screen size is today is only half the battle though, and rather irrelevant considering how often it changes. Plus, now we have tablets, netbooks, smartphones, large TVs and more that can all access the web.
The vast variation in screen sizes is likely what led the revolution of responsive web design to begin with, especially within the last few years. Of course though, along with all these new (and old) devices that are in use today, we have other considerations such as the technical capabilities of what these machines can handle.
It seems as though we can already be considered 'behind' on adapting our design and coding to the various devices out there; our technology grew too fast for us to catch up, and there are far too many websites that are inaccessible to a large number of users.
Many websites, especially those of larger companies who had the resources, tried early on to 'stay ahead of the game,' by creating perhaps several mobile versions of their websites, and even used the early concepts of flexible layouts to meet a wider variety of user needs. However, with the range of device considerations growing, this method of designing for each popular gadget to hit the market is becoming untenable.
Responsive web design creates a new possibility where we can cover, for the most part, all of these various devices now, and hopefully those of the future too. As more technologies emerge, of course there will be new considerations and practices for responsive design to grow upon.
Surely we don't have all of the answers now, but we can catch up our designs to meet modern needs, and improve the global user experience today. With responsive web design, we can also help future-proof our web experiences to an extent, and adapt far more easily when the new technologies do arrive.
Benefits for users and designers
As if we needed more incentive for us all individually to get rolling on the responsive design trend, perhaps the biggest motivator can be that it not only creates a better web for our users, but also ushers in a better web for us designers and developers as well.
We can, of course, see the positive benefits for the users almost immediately:
• Users with devices new or old can have the same great experience on a website, eliminating some
of the unnecessary frustration
• Users on the go or that would otherwise transfer their browsing to various devices can do so easily (eg a user that must switch from their desktop to their iPad while travelling)
• Locations in the world where technology is just catching up, and mobile devices are far more prevalent than any other for accessing the web,
can take advantage of more information
• Businesses benefit by reaching a wider audience, and a well-built website for all users can increase a brand's trustworthiness. Also, businesses can save time and money in the long run on the maintenance of their website.
With all of these obvious advantages to the consumer in focus, we can often overlook the benefits responsive design can offer designers and developers too:
• More flexible designs mean less frustration, errors and bugs for different user situations. A design that adapts and, to some degree, 'fixes itself' from the outset means we can focus on the all-important user experience, rather than spending all our time correcting technical mishaps
• Complete design projects up front, rather than create new solutions for every new device size
and capability. Relatively future-proof projects –
at least, the near future
• The ability to improve our own design and development enterprises by being able to better aid users' and businesses' websites.
The above is only the beginning when it comes to the revolutionary advantages of responsive design. What's better is that all of these benefits are not a thing of the future, but so many practices can begin being implemented today by simply adopting a new way of thinking.
Designing for 'Content Out'
Design is as important on the web as it is in any other medium, as a proper design can increase brand loyalty, conversions and add value. Despite design's benefits however, it's been a long-standing fact that content is still king and design only comes second. A good design will flatter the content, and there is no reason why responsive design should be any different.
With the rise in responsive web design, we are beginning to see a new term: designing with the content out. By putting so much focus on content, we can create webpages that are easy to read and use, no matter what their constraint (ie the device). Traditionally, we may use grid systems, common layouts and preset guidelines to construct a website's design. Later, we plug in the content. This isn't putting value on the content, but rather putting far too much value on the aesthetics of the website. With design out, content in, the content is not a priority.
With content out, on the other hand, we create the proper structure, width, size, placement and other typographical details that would most benefit the text, and then fit in the design based on the content's structure. Content out, design in.
Design and layout for devices
Designing for content out initially can perhaps be the simplest way to determine a proper layout for just about any range of devices. After we plan the content however, we still must think of where both the aesthetic design and other page elements will be placed. With responsive design, we are gifted endless possibilities. We can't possibly design separate interfaces for each instance, so we have to create a standard set of guidelines for user interface techniques to help simplify the creative process.
Layout: Columns and width
Obviously, physical space will directly limit how many columns can fit into a webpage, but we shouldn't only worry about what's technically possible. Wider screens should use columns because it can be a great place for secondary content that will be noticed via our habit to horizontally scan pages. Even for smaller screens on laptops, netbooks and tablets, additional side content should be put to use when possible. On small mobile screens, beyond the physical space constraint, there comes a point where usability becomes a concern as well, and any side content should be rearranged.
The Goldilocks Approach is a responsive framework consisting of both CSS and JS files that tries to specifically step away from the responsive approach of designing for specific devices, and rather creates a fully flexible web design for each and every circumstance.
This is a minimalistic responsive boilerplate that has CSS and JS files to provide a flexible layout and highly compatible design elements, making it ripe for customising. There are several pre-styled elements included – all you need is your unique design flair.
Yamb is the responsive template from the Yet Another collection. The content-out boilerplate adheres to all the modern interface design methods for going from mobile sizes to larger screens. Features include a fluid grid, drop-down menus and responsive slideshows.
Gridless is one of the most basic templates around. It comes with no predefined CSS grid classes or other designed elements. What it does include is an intelligent file structure, all the necessary CSS code and a JS file that increases compatibility in older browsers.

What up Scampers?!?!!
This weekend I got to see an amazing show, the Kyle Hollingsworth Band, SOLD OUT at Cervantes in Denver! I must admit, I am a casual fan of SCI at best and I paid little attention to their side projects. Kyle Hollingsworth, however, is AMAZING and has opened my eyes…I once was blind but now I see…please don't hate a wretch like me…
Well, Kyle was super funky and way more synthesizer based than I anticipated. I don't know the names of his songs, but Michael Kang came out for a bunch and they were some awesome jams. I was way too into it at the time to pull myself away and get any footage, and for that I am deeply sorry. In any case, you can look up some clips if you like but I am telling you, you don;t need to. If the Kyle Hollingsworth band comes anywhere near you, go see him!
The same can be said for some buddies of mine, Roster McCabe. Have you hear of them? Well you will now. Roster McCabe are a great group of guys and are a well traveled band. They were opening for Kyle Hollingsworth at this show and I got a chance to ask them a few questions…You can see that below. I also managed to grab a video of them doing Fame by David Bowie with Kyle Hollingsworth. Check out the video and then check out Roster McCabe. They believe you should have some music in your life regardless of what you got in your pockets so you can download ALL their music for FREE at www.rostermccabe.com/
Jeff – Hey guys, so thanks a lot for answering some questions, let's start off with the basics, where are you from, individually and as a band?
Roster McCabe – Jeff is from Grand Forks, ND; Alex is From Brooklyn Park, MN; Drew is from Bloomington, MN; Mike is from Oconomowoc, WI; Scott is from La Crosse, WI. We all met in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area in Minnesota.
J – Nice, I always like to ask, where did your band name come from, it's usually a good story, no?
RM – It is a great story, yes, but it is also a secret.
J – Haha all right, playing a little hardball, this one should be easier, how long have you been playing together?
RM – Jeff solidified our lineup in January of 2008. We started full time touring in 2009, playing 150 shows in 2009; 175 in 2010; and this year we'll get to about 180.
J – Cool, and what festivals have you played before?
RM – We've played a couple big ones but we've also played a lot of really cool smaller festies that are definitely worth mentioning. The full list is: Summerfest, Harvest Fest, Shangri-La, Bella Music Fest, Midwest Fest, Rock the Vine, Bandit, Co. Fair, Ifdakamp, Browntown, Jam-Boree, The Family Reunion, Great Aberdeen Pigout, Cosmic Railroad Family Gathering, Prairie Grass, Engelbrechts Homegrown Fest, Jam for Jam, and this year we'll be doing Wookiefoot's Snowball Festival in January.
J – Well hopefully this year you can add Summer Camp to the list…Including all those festivals, what would you say your biggest show has been so far?
RM – It's a tie between opening for Stephen Marley at Summerfest, Matisyahu at Shangri-La Festival, and a show we did this past Saturday at Cervante's Ballroom in Denver with The Kyle Hollingsworth Band and Michael Kang. Kyle sat in with us for a rendition of David Bowie's fame. Definitely a show we'll remember for the rest of our lives.
J – All right, let's switch gears a little bit, because I like to know more about the inner workings of bands and to see how that all goes, so, I know it's a rather vague question, but tell us a little about where you are at in your career as this band and what kinds of initiatives you are taking to continue moving forward…
RM – We're still a growing and changing band because we're still so young. This is only our third year being on the road full time and we've changed A LOT in that short time. I'd imagine we'll continue to change and evolve as time goes on cause we get bored easily. We're constantly writing and re writing our tunes to get them to a point where we're happy with them and to get them to the point where we think they're good enough to share with people. We're also constantly introducing new instruments into the band as we evolve. A most recent introduction is the use of Ableton Live to get some of the new stuff sounding as close to a DJ as we can while still playing all the actual parts. We're never satisfied with where we're at. We always want to sound tighter. We always want to reach new highs with our performances. We always strive to be a better band in every way possible and I don't think that we'll ever stop doing that.
J – So, are you trying to get into Summer Camp? If so, what is that process like?
RM – Absolutely. Summer Camp has been on our list for sometime. We think it's a great festival with awesome people so yeah, it's definitely something we would like to do. Really we're just trying to grow as much as possible in Chicago and the rest of the area as possible to ensure that we'll bring people to the fest. We've been doing a good job of that recently, so hopefully they'll take notice this year.
J – Anything you'd like to add to tell the fans of SC music festival?
RM – All of our music is available for free on our website at rostermccabe.com/downloads and we've got a bunch of live shows on the Live Music Archive. To get a good feel for what we're doing now make sure to get a recent show because like I said before we're always changing – even if you listen to something from 6 months ago it won't sound how we sound now. And if you guys dig what you're hearing make sure to let the people of Summercamp know!
