Historically, it was a considerable scientific achievement to understand vision in terms of the eye as a sense organ that receives light that is scattered from objects. Early ideas of vision held by thinkers such as Plato and Aristotle, and then the great Islamic scientists, were of vision as some sort of active engagement of the world by the eye; almost as if some sort of 'signal' was sent out by the eye to perceive objects. Students have difficulty in understanding the eye as a passive receiver of light. They also have difficulty with the idea of light as an independent entity that travels through space so that the role of a light source in helping us to see, and the relationship of colour of an object to the colour of the illuminating light, is problematic. Further still, ideas about how images are formed in mirrors and lenses are problematic without scientific notions of vision, and of light as a travelling entity. It is therefore important to be aware of the children's ideas when teaching them about light, vision and colour.
The activities in this topic are designed to explore the following key concepts:
Research into students' ideas about this topic has identified the following non-scientific conceptions:

"not-the-Jayson-Blair-kind" is cute but his lies were far less important than the lies of Judith Miller which graced the front pages of the Times and helped bolster the case for war. I recall watching Vice President Cheney tell the hosts of the Sunday morning political chat shows that if anyone didn't believe him when he said why we need to invade Iraq, they could read the articles in the Times and find support for his arguments.
One of the things that makes me think something else was afoot with Blair's well-publicized and covered dismissal (and the subsequent NYT mea culpa) is how there was no comparable event, staff firings, or mea culpa about Miller's far more significant lies.
If you'd like to learn more about the problems with Miller's articles, I strongly encourage reading Counterpunch.org's coverage.
Not to be rude but what the heck are you talking about? This is about poetry modeled on the Fibonacci series, not what the NYT prints. I know the tagline mentioned Jayson Blair, but geez try to stay on message or it looks like you only care about one thing - disparaging the administration no matter how tangential the dialogue.
Oh, sorry never mind.
Joke!Ha!Blair orMiller? Huh?The "department" lineis for humor, not politics.I wanted to make a funny "department" line for my post, as I always do, and I chose Jayson Blair's name because he's associated with lies in the NYT. No political agenda. No pointed digs at anybody. No point at all, really. Just a joke. Lighten up and post a poem already. Sheesh!
Gosh, people are touchy aren't they? I thought your joke was funny. Peace out.

A Dark Mystery Lies Within
Announcing Mansions of Madness, a board game of horror and insanity |
Mansions of Madness | Published 17 September 2010 |
Horrific monsters and spectral presences lurk in manors, crypts, schools, monasteries, and derelict buildings near Arkham, Massachusetts. Some spin dark conspiracies from the shadows while others wait for hapless victims to devour. It's up to a handful of brave investigators to explore these cursed places and uncover the truth about the living nightmares within.
Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the upcoming release of Mansions of Madness, a macabre board game of horror, insanity, and mystery for 2-5 players! This winter, gather your fellow investigators and unravel the dark mysteries within... before it's too late.
Designed by Corey Konieczka (Battlestar Galactica, Runewars) and based on the horror fiction of master writer H.P. Lovecraft, Mansions of Madness creates an engrossing new narrative every time you play. Each game takes place within a pre-designed story that provides players with a unique map and several combinations of plot threads. These threads affect the monsters that investigators may encounter, the clues they need to find, and which climactic story ending they will ultimately experience. One player takes on the role of the keeper, controlling the monsters and other malicious powers within the story. The other players take on the role of investigators, searching for answers while struggling to survive with their minds intact.
During setup, the keeper secretly makes choices that will affect both the plot of the unfolding story and the gameplay objectives of both sides. Is the mysterious cult attempting to murder the investigators, or is their goal far darker? Did the master of the house go insane with grief over his dead family, or is a horrible otherworldly force controlling his mind? Only by following the trail and piecing these clues together will the investigators discover the true evil and successfully complete the story!
Depending on the combinations of plot choices the keeper makes, clues are scattered throughout the various rooms that make up the board. Each clue is represented by a card, placed face down in the room in which it can be found and consisting of deeply thematic text leading investigators to the next clue card. Investigators must work together, finding the clues and discussing how best to proceed. Meanwhile, the keeper is ever vigilant in pursuing his own agenda, and if he completes his secret objective before the investigators discover and thwart it, then dark forces will prevail. The result is a tense race between good and evil!
Both the engaging plot and the stunning components will draw you in to a world of cosmic horror. The beautifully rendered modular map tiles show every intricate feature of the rooms you'll search, and the monster figures represent the otherworldly forces of evil in horrific detail. The bases for each monster figure even have slots into which you can insert that monster's token, displaying only the pertinent statistics. These components (a total of 24 monster figures), along with the eight included investigator figures, over 300 cards, over 200 tokens and markers, and nearly 70 puzzle tiles, will help immerse you in a sanity-bending story of terrifying mystery.
Visit our description page to learn more about this exciting board game, and keep checking back in the coming weeks as we present previews. Will you dare enter the Mansions of Madness?
Mansions of Madness is a macabre game of horror, insanity, and mystery for two to five players. Based on the beloved fiction of H.P. Lovecraft, Mansions of Madness tells a story in which one player takes on the role of the keeper, a malevolent force working to complete a sinister plot, and all other players take on the roles of investigators, the unlikely heroes who gather to oppose him.
If nothing else...FFG Arkham Horror minatures! Could always find a use for those.
Just the other day I was talking with a friend of mine that we'd like to see some other game set within the "HPL universe" made by FFG. Arkham Horror is great fun, but diversity is always fun.
I really like how it seems like the keeper is actually creating a story so it's almost like a semi-roleplaying experience.
'Arkham Horror Files' game, eh? This has almost too much goodness to it. I, wow. Can't wait to see this at the Akham event. Hope to be picked for a play.
Finally I can inflict insanity on my friends as well as doom. Can't wait for this one.
While my initial thoughts are 'It's a redesigned Clue!', the other commenters have it right. I like Arkham Horror, but sometimes I'd like a simpler setup for a smaller timeframe. Looking forward to this.
do want! I loved Descent, so I'd love to give this a whirl
Holy Crap! This is freaking awesome! Yeah totally getting this!
Good to see that FFG recognizes a market for games that have substance yet are quicker set ups and playtimes than the big box games. I'm in!
Looks like a combination of Arkham Horror and Descent. Pretty cool. Looks like FFG will be getting more of my money.
Great stuff. Arkham Horror is a big undertaking, just to get the beast set up. It will be great to have an alternative way of getting a Lovecraftian, narrative-driven boardgame fix without having to spend half a day on AH. Can't wait.

13-year-old boy accused of beating mother with a hammer taken into custody
CORPUS CHRISTI - Police took a 13-year-old boy into custody because authorities believe he beat his mother with a hammer.
Officers from the Corpus Christi Police Department were sent to the boy's home in the 2200 block of N. Padre Island Drive Saturday night for a report that he assaulted his 33-year-old mother with a hammer.
Police said the boy ran away, but later returned to the apartment unit where he and his mother live.
Police found him hiding under a bed and arrested him, officials said.
Police typically do not release the names of those involved in family violence cases, police spokesman Kirk Stowers said.
The woman was taken to an area hospital with cuts on her head, but the injuries are not life threatening, according to police.The teenager could face assault charges, but he had not appeared before a judge as of Sunday.

This day has been marked with test and trials, some problems and possible fixes to them, a final run down of necessary parts and things to do, a lot of food and fun, and a huge success for the 1671 Buchanan Bird Brains.
Just a few minutes ago, we successfully configured our CAN (controller area network) Jaguar speed controllers to use the attached encoders to maintain a steady rate of revolutions per minute. Sounds simple yes, but it wasn't entirely. The programming team had to dig through documents and tutorials and configured the the CAN Jaguars' control settings and encoder initialization. I must admit, the quality of the documentation of the WPI Library is quite fantastic, that is if one knows how to use it. It is simple enough, but holds all the information a C++ programmer in the FIRST Robotics Competition would need to know.
Keep checking out our live stream to see what we are up to. http://team1671.com or http://ustream.tv/channel/FRC167.1 Monday is a holiday, so we will be in shop all day. See you then!

i've been to two different rainforest cafes. they've been all right. the first time i went was at WDW and it was more fun there, the atmosphere was working a little better. the food was pretty good, but not anything overly special (although the desert that has the sparkler in it is very fun)
the second time i went was kind of amusing. it was during the summer and spaceshipclover and i drove into shaumburg, il on a break from camp. we had some things we needed at ikea and decided to make a weekend of it. we decided to have fun and dress up and go out to eat our first night there. so we went to the mall and were prepared to go to cheesecake factory but found out they no longer make our favorite thing so we headed to Rainforest Cafe. While we were looking at our menus our waiter came to give us some water and ended up pouring the ENTIRE pitcher all over me. well, you know how malls are in the summer with their AC so the AC was blasting and i was in a skirt and tanktop and freezing now that i had a pitcher of water all over. the waiter was so embarressed that he just apologized and walked away and the next thing we knew the manager was there apologizing and giving us our meal for free and getting me a sweatshirt from the gift shop to warm up in.
so i have to say even though it's not my most favorite they do have great customer service.

Honey Boo Boo Does Not Disappoint
Top 5 moments and best quotes from Here Comes Honey Boo Boo
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo premiered with two episodes Wednesday night and it was everything I expected and more.
We got to meet Honey Boo Boo's dad Sugar Bear and her sisters Chickadee, Chubbs and Pumpkin. Oh, and we were reacquainted with her mom June. The show follows the family as they prepare for a big pageant at the end of the summer and as they make a couple stops a long the way, like the Redneck Games for example.
And since the show is such a cluster-freak train wreck, it's impossible to do a traditional recap. So I'm going to share with you the Top 5 moments and some of the best quotes.
Top 5 Moments
1. June washes her hair in the kitchen sink. Apparently that's where the entire family does this. I'm not sure why, but June mumbled something about you sit in your own filth in a bathtub so your hair gets cleaner in the sink? Fantastic. I'm just happy you don't have to wash Big Mac containers because I'd hate for them to eat off dishes washed in sinks where they maintain their hygiene.
2. Pumpkin competes in a bobbing for pigs feet contest at the Redneck Games. No, really. Like REAL pigs feet. Floating in a tub of water. Dipping your face in the pig feet water. Picking them up with your mouth. Disgusting. And she doesn't even win. Meanwhile, Chubbs and Honey Boo Boo compete in a mud pit belly flop contest. This family is insane.
3. Watching people swim in a river with a clear warning about entering at your own risk due to high levels of bacteria found in the water. At least June is smart (hahahaha) enough to not allow her kids to swim in the water.
4. Chubbs and June go on a diet. June weighs in and the scale goes to error. I think that means a diet is a very good idea.
5. The etiquette coach visits. For some reason, June decided her kids needed some table manners, so she hired a prim and proper etiquette coach to come over. The woman nearly had a stroke when she saw what she was dealing with. But she remained very proper, did her job, left, probably drove home and quietly screamed into a pillow.
Top Quotes
"The Redneck Games is a lot like the Olympics but with a lot of missing teeth and butt cracks showing." — June
"All that vajiggle jaggle is not beautimos. You don't see my shit hanging out … not my three bellies." — June, on all the inappropriately dressed women at the Redneck Games.
"I hope y'all are getting that flesh-eating disease." — Honey Boo Boo to the idiots swimming in the nasty river.
"If a person farts 10-15 times a day then they're healthy. So I guess my girls are healthy…" — June
"We're going to make you a pageant gay pig." — Honey Boo Boo to her new boy pig she named Glitzy.
"Etiquette classes are for stupid people." — Honey Boo Boo
"It's called a biscuit because it looks like a biscuit." — June referring to the family's nickname for vagina. I'm not even joking.
Did you watch Here Comes Honey Boo Boo? What did you think of the first two episodes?

This is a pretty standard Japanese business hotel, but the rooms are a bit bigger than you'd find in a big city like Tokyo. Like all business hotels, service is quick and efficient.

Musicians, athletes and many other types of performers follow the adage, "practice makes perfect". While nobody's ever perfect, practice does help us to be successful in our endeavors.
We can apply the same adage to our faith. In this week's Gospel Jesus teaches us to "pray always." By practicing prayer in our daily lives, we continually strengthen our faith and improve our own performance as followers of Christ's teachings.
We see many times in the Gospels that Jesus Himself went off to deserted places and prayed. He needed to pray. And if he needs to pray, so do we. If we don't we will grow weak and our performance will suffer.
How we pray varies from person to person. But pray always. In prayer, God is present to help us stay strong.

Honey Bear's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, and up to date with shots.
Honey Bear is an incredibly sweet, playful and charismatic pit bull. She is approximately 8-9 yrs old. She would do great in a house or condo as she has a low energy level and would be fine with a short walk once a day or every other. She is dog selective and sometimes reactive towards other dogs on walks. Honey Bear thoroughly enjoys cuddle with her foster family. Honey Bear is 100% kennel trained for when her foster family is at work and does not show any signs of separation anxiety. Honey Bear is also potty trained. When you tell her it's time to 'Go' she gets very excited. Honey Bear knows sit and stay. She is looking forward to playing in a yard of her own. She is full of love and has so much joy to share! Honey Bear is too interested in cats though, so no cats please!

The best way to describe her is to compare her to a starving vulture looking for exposed meat. She is just waiting in the brush to jump out and pounce on and devourer the poor thing. It's annoying and saddening that her life is that boring that she has to jump in on everyone else's issues. Half the time she never makes sense anyways. Nobody wants your opinion Tamra. And to think you have the nerve to call me white trash. Last time I checked I'm not the one going on my third marriage, throwing drinks in people's faces or getting into fights with my best friend over an evil eye look at dinner. Grow the f--k up! Let's just call it like we see it. I know I may not be perfect or have had the best of time this year, but who are you or anyone else in your wild pack of hyenas to judge me if you aren't going to take the time to look at yourself in the mirror first.
I do want to take a moment to sincerely thank Alexis, the one true person that I feel really had my back that night. For her to put herself on the line so unselfishly for the sake of a friend that was going through a hard time and to also have a smile and try to have fun attending an event that was surrounded around nothing but bad energy, tacky gossip, and fake people, was brave.
Regardless if taking the bow was right or not, Alexis knows me and knows that is not something that I would not normally do -- so she had my back. Now that's a good friend. I know that took a lot of love, guts, and pure loyalty on her part to stand up to all of them when they seem to feel it's OK to gang up on someone in a pack, like grown up bullies, just to get their point across. Gesh, it would have been easier to fight off a pack of hungry vultures fighting over road kill. Alexis is such a sweetheart. After all is said and done I'm learning that true loyalty is really hard to come by now days, and for that I will always be grateful and appreciative what she did for me.
There are the friends that are there when things as good, but your real friends are the ones that are by your side through the good bad and the ugly. Even if you aren't at your best at the moment, a true friend doesn't leave you hanging. I think it's funny that some of these girls had the nerve to call Alexis fake and pretentious when in a single evening I heard Vicki brag about her "new" fur coat at least hundred times, Heather bragged about her house, furniture, and the exact price of everything she had made for her little fancy smanchy party non-stop all night, while Tamra made a big to do about her ring -- like it was the hope diamond or something. People in glass houses should never throw stones. . .Just saying.

The product arrived on time. Upon opening the shipping box, everything looked great. The presentation was wonderful. Then my wife opened the truffles. Everyone had melted into a puddle. She checked the other chocolates and they were all badly melted. Something needs to be done about shipping. Maybe ship in an insulated container with dry ice? Overall, disappointed.

I thought it was going to be a nice sized basket considering I paid $49.95 plus shipping which was about $60. Very disappointed at the size of the basket. I know it will cost a lot because it is Godiva chocolate but I was very unhappy at how small it was.

This is a great gift for any occasion! I sent this to my boss over the holidays to him and his family and he loved it.... Never disappointed with Wine & Country!

Upcoming Outings for Winter, 2014:
Beginner Snowshoe Hike (1A). Donner State Memorial Park (Sacramento Group). On this snowshoe outing we'll start behind Historical Donner State Memorial Park and hike into Cold Stream Canyon partially following the old emigrant trail. Hike stats: 4 miles (round trip), elevation gain 250', starting elevation 5,950'. Hikers must be in reasonably good condition. I encourage those who have not been to stop and visit the Donner State Park Museum afterward. The museum tells the compelling story of the ill fated Donner Party who emigrated across the country in covered wagons only to be trapped by blinding snow over the Sierras at Donner Lake. Bring the essentials, including snowshoes & waterproof boots, water, snacks, lunch, layered clothing due to changeable weather conditions and $$ for carpool drivers. No minors. No dogs. Rain, snow, and/or chain controls cancels. Hike limited to 15. I will email the details about the meeting spot to those signed-up about a week prior to the hike! Contact leader for details. Leader: Christina Vetter firstname.lastname@example.com.

Funny tattoos, misspellings, product placement, celebrity portraits
Banana flavored muffin tops? Hehe
Kinda looks like mini hotdogs
Completely fake…thankfully.
Wonder if this has anything to do with the episode of Metalocalypse with the counselor who awarded them banana stickers?
Huge granny panties on the one on the left!
I think the one on the left cut her pants to fit in them better. Makes you look more fat, I think. Once you see it.
Grannie panties? Those are shirts. The tattoo is above the pants. see the belt?
this is totally in reference to a metalocalypse episode. sweet ink, ladies.
Metalocolypse. Banana stickers.
a true wTf
I approve.
It's b1 & b2 bananas in pjs
So I guess it turns out you can buy psychological gratification at the store… Or in this case, a tattoo shop

It'd be a little bit of a stretch to call Roseanne Barr, the star of the revolutionary '90s sitcom "Roseanne," a style icon. But we do love the laidback look of the whole Connor family, and hey, obviously the '90s are back in a big way. So in honor of Roseanne as the queen of snarky moms, and Mother's Day in general, we've cobbled together this Style Stealer look. Check it out after the jump! Keep reading »

how nice!
Hi, Terri, so, in a way we are related? Nice to read you! I will try to get informations about Anton's parents. Do you perhaps know anything about my great uncle? I am writing a book about him and his brother who was a jesuit and missionaire at the Mission of St. Francis, South Dakota. Perhaps you know how Henrietta and Anton got to know each other? And when they married? I'd be very thankful for any information!
Greetings from Austria!

Buss- Bunge-Watermann-Scippmann
Hey Terri:
My name is Philip Everhart. I am planning to be driving from Denver to Blue Hill, NE, to spend next Thursday night. I plan to visit at Trinity Lutheran Cemetery to visit my great-grandfather's grave, Jacob Janssen Buss. His daughter, Mary W. BUSS Uhrig, was my grandmother. I'm from SC and would so like to have the opportunity to speak with some relative or relatives while spending the night there. Do you know of anyone of the Buss family in Blue Hill who might be willing to speak with me and who would be knowledgeable of the family? I have been involved in genealogy for a few years and would sincerely appreciate any assistance.
I am also interested in the Bunge, the Watermann and the Schippmann line.
Thank you,
Philip M. Everhart

RE: Oleslager vs Olischlager
Hi Terri;
We have been in Loveland since 1991, and before that it was Colorado Springs.
Most of my ancestry research recently has been tracking my wife's Swedish & Norwegian ancestry. Last June we took our daughter & granddaughter to Europe to meet the German, Swedish & Norwegian relatives. That is the high point in ancestry research, to go back to the old countries and meet the family, than walk where your ancestors walked so long ago.
Best Regards ..... Rick

RE: Oleslager vs Olischlager
Hi Terri;
Herman's son Henry Oleslager is in the 1880 census in Jackson, Michigan, and in July 1881 in New Albany, Indiana marrying Catherine Krummer. I know Henry worked for the railroad, so this maybe why he went to New Albany. Henry's son Herman was born in New Albany in 1882, and was also an engineer for the railroad in New Albany. So it looks like the Oleslagers were tied to the B&O railroad there.
If you have not already contacted the cemeteries, you should do it and see who buried your relatives. Next contact the local library to get copies of the obituaries, wedding announcements and births for the people you are working on. These newspaper items often list other family members and other helpful tidbits.
Best Regards ....... Rick

RE: Oleslager vs Olischlager
Hi Terri;
Here is what I know so far. Two brothers, Joseph Ohlenschlager arrived in New York from the Baden region of Germany in about 1851, and settled in Buffalo. Two years later his younger brother Herman Ohlenschlager arrived and settled in Buffalo. Both brothers married German women and started families in Buffalo. Joseph stayed in Buffalo and kept the Ohlenschlager name. You can find several Ohlenschlager people buried in the Buffalo area. There are even living descendants in the area today.
Brother Herman (my great-great grandfather) moved on to Detroit, Michigan and changed the family name to Oleslager (we believe to make it more American). He later moved to Jackson Michigan, but is buried in Detroit. Several of Herman's descendants are buried in Jackson. I do know that Herman's oldest son, Henry Oleslager settled in New Albany Indiana, and several members of that family branch are buried in New Albany.
I do not have a Gerhard in the family tree, but it is possible he could have been the son of another Ohlenschlager brother who stayed in Germany (Gerhard is the approximate age of Joseph & Herman's children) and came a generation later than Joseph & Herman. I find the New Albany connection interesting. I would not get to excited about the different name spellings as misspellings back than were common, especially with complex (to Americans) German names.
I do know that both Herman & Joseph being from southern (south-West) Germany were stanch Catholics and arrived in New York on ships from Le Havre, France, indicating they were driven out of Germany as a result of the 1848 Baden revolt (an interesting story by its self). I think we will need to continue poking around to see if we can find a connection between your Gerhard and my Oleslager/Ohlenschlager people.
Best Regards ..... Rick (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Number 215 January, 2009
What's Sauce For The Goose
Oscar Wilde said: "Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live; it is asking others to live as one wishes to live." We might add, that in Canada the most vocal proponents of this form of selfishness generally ensure that they live as far away as possible from the result of their sermonizing.
Keep Tight Hold Of Nurse -
For fear of finding something worse. Eight months after floating the idea, the immigration department revealed its new, improved, immigrant job list in late November: "Thirty-eight in-demand occupations were unveiled by the Harper government last week, setting out a new selection criteria for skilled immigrants [which] come into effect immediately. Skilled workers whose occupations are on the list will be fast-tracked for acceptance as permanent residents under the skilled worker immigration class. New applications that do not meet the eligibility criteria will not be processed, and the application fee will be refunded. ... The controversial plan was first introduced ... as a way to reduce the backlog of 900,000 immigration files and bring in the right skilled immigrants. Previously, applicants faced wait times of up to six years. Under the new rules, applicants should receive a decision within six to 12 months. [Included among] the skilled jobs ... Head Nurses and Supervisors, Registered Nurses [and] Licensed Practical Nurses." (South Asian Focus, December 3, 2008) Meanwhile, "thousands of nurses who have left Canada for the United States went not for money, but for regular work and because they're highly valued there, a major study on cross-border flight finds. 'Salary wasn't a key factor,' said Dr. Linda McGillis Hall ... 'it was quite far down on the list. And it's not burnout. In many cases, they are doing exactly the same jobs. There were two clear factors: The opportunity to have a full-time job and the fact that the United States places a very high value on Canadian-educated and Canadian-trained nurses.' [While Canada places a very high value on nurses trained somewhere else on someone else's dime!] Canada spent the 1990s losing nurses after health-care cuts shut hospital beds and cut staff and full-time jobs. Ontario, in particular, lost 8,346 nurses between 1992 and 1997. [And then the province was poleaxed by SARS. According to] McGillis Hall, 'Twenty per cent of our nurses are working in the United States. We obviously do a very good job of preparing them for practice.'" (Toronto Star, September 30, 2008) For practice elsewhere. What's wrong with this picture? Nuttin', according to our immigration AND multiculturalism minister. One contributory factor in Toronto's two separate SARS outbreaks was the fact that former finance minister and PM "Paul Martin, cut $6 billion from healthcare funding to Ontario over the four years between 1995 and 1999. [Not surprisingly,] between 1995 and 1999, 250,000 hospital positions were cut in Ontario. In addition, nursing in the province was increasingly casualised, with fifty per cent of nurses working part-time and often holding down two or three jobs at separate hospitals. [The kind of contagion mixing opportunities an upstart infectious agent dreams of!] Understaffed infection surveillance and control systems in hospitals played a part in the spread of SARS [and,] unfortunately, few Ontario hospitals have the necessary numbers of infection control nurses, as outlined in provincial recommendations." (BNet Business Network, Summer 2004) Because 20% are working in the US, where they're appreciated? As noted by Mark Steyn, "ours was not merely the only SARS 'hot zone' outside Asia, but the only jurisdiction on the planet in which the epidemic was entirely incubated and spread by the health
care system. In other countries, you had to go to weddings and hotels and badly plumbed apartment buildings to get it. In Toronto, you had to go to hospital." (Maclean's, February 17, 2006)Heroin And Death
In 1971, two congressmen were dispatched to Viet Nam to investigate reports of growing heroin addiction among US troops. What role the world's most addictive drug played in America's most disastrous military venture is unknown, but the congressmen concluded that addiction rates ran 10 to 15 per cent, rising to 25% in some units. And then there's Afghanistan, the country where nobody ever wins: Among Canada's soldiers, "a National Criminal Intelligence Assessment report [says,] 'compared to previous years, trafficking offences have seen a steady increase, while possession offences demonstrated a significant spike for 2006.' ... Canadian troops stationed in Afghanistan continue to be at risk for drug use and drug trafficking, especially in heroin, said a second report called Task Force Afghanistan Criminal Intelligence Overview." (UPI, December 20, 2008) In September 2007, 250 Canadian soldiers who tested positive for drugs were prevented from deploying for Afghanistan. At that time, the Canadian military had "tested almost 7,000 soldiers since mandatory drug testing of personnel headed to Afghanistan began in 2006. [Former Liberal Immigration Minister and then Defence critic -- federal Minister of Sport in the late 90s -- the inexhaustibly talented Denis Coderre offered up this bizarre insight] '"Drug-free sport ... It's exactly the same thing as DND, those people represent us,' he said." (Canada.com, September 11, 2007) Surely, even the most rusticated half-wit might be expected to fathom the difference between a shooting war with fundamentalist zealots in a nation of poppy fields -- and running and jumping. Nevertheless, the comment goes some way to explain what he did with the Immigration portfolio. To the end of 2008, 106 Canadian soldiers had lost their lives in Afghanistan.
Never Mind Canada's Economy, What About Dada-Ji?
Brampton's South Asian Focus, December 10, 2008, offers up a refreshingly selfish take on Canada's worsening economic outlook: "Parental sponsorship will likely be a major casualty of the economic crisis in Canada, says a top immigration consultant. While there might be a case for denying sponsorships when jobless applicants might be finding it hard to care for their families, it would still be hard on them to have the rug pulled out from under their feet if they've lost their job just at the time the officials call for verification. ... David Cohen of Canadian Immigration Law Firm [said] if the person happens to be unemployed at that moment, his sponsorship papers will in all probability be summarily rejected. A sizeable proportion of South Asian communities tend to sponsor their relatives or submit applications to bring their family members to Canada. Typically, parents and grandparents are considered part of the same family, a cultural truism that Canadian laws have refused to acknowledge. [It's hard to see how Canada could possibly be more generous in its interpretation of the word 'family'. No one else permits 'reunification' of the most far flung relations, fiancees and same sex spouses, but, evidently, it still falls short of South Asian expectations.] Canada lost more than 70,000 jobs in November-- the largest loss in a single month since the deep recession in of the 1980s. Ontario faced the brunt, choking off 66,000 jobs during November. Experts believe that after Christmas, especially in first quarter 2009, jobless numbers will go even higher. Canadians will probably see a considerable number of refusals of sponsorship cases in the New Year due to soaring rate of unemployment, Cohen indicated. ... Cohen argued that, upon refusal, the sponsor can appeal on humanitarian and compassionate grounds to allow the sponsorship to go through. ... Citizenship and Immigration Canada DOES NOT require any income criteria for a Canadian or permanent resident to sponsor a spouse or dependent children. 'The income provision is only to sponsor parents, grandparents or relatives other than spouse and children,' said Cohen. 'As long as you are not getting welfare, you are good and don't have any income obligation.'"
Friendly Greeting -- Deadly Insult
Sweden's Sveriges Television has launched something that sounds every bit as unfunny as Little Mosque on the Knuckle-Dragging Prairie. SvT's Halal-TV "is meant to show how the three women [hosts -- or maybe that's hostesses -- it's hard to know what's PC-Speak among Moslem females] view their Swedish homeland through the lens of their Muslim beliefs. SvT described Halal-TV as a 'road trip' through Swedish society ... to help deconstruct the often monolithic view of Muslims held by many Swedes. [A laudable goal, but one that detonated during the maiden episode, when two of the female hosts] refuse to shake the hand of Aftonbladet newspaper columnist Carl Hamilton, electing instead to greet the guest by putting their hands on their chests, leaving Hamilton's extended hand hanging in the air and prompting a sharp exchange. 'I'm sorry, you ought to shake my hand,' said Hamilton, according to a transcript published in the Expressen newspaper. 'That's something I decide,' replied [25-year-old dental hygienist Khadiga] El Khabiry. 'No, I don't think so!' Hamilton shot back. The war of words escalated when [22-year-old doctor-to-be Dalia] Azzam Kassem then asked Hamilton what he thought a Swede who had converted to Islam ought to do. 'He should shake hands when in Sweden. If he can't manage that then he can go live in a cave and be a hermit,' said Hamilton. 'It's about how we live as Swedes. That's how we socialize, we shake hands. It's not we who are the problem. The problem is that you come here and don't want to shake hands, so it's actually you who are the problem.' 'We didn't come here. I was born here,' El Khabiry reminded Hamilton. Writing about the incident [later] Hamilton asked, 'Is it racist to want to shake hands with a Muslim?' ... 'Who should adapt to whom? For the hosts of Halal-TV, the answer is obvious. The handshaking majority in Sweden should adapt themselves to the Muslim-believing-non-handshaking minority,' he writes. 'I don't have a problem with faithful Muslims or others who don't want to shake hands. On the other hand I have a hard time understanding people who think that I'm discriminating against them because I want to greet them as most people are greeted in Sweden.' Considerably fewer viewers, 295,000, tuned in to watch the Halal-TV than the 400,000 viewers producers had hoped would watch the new programme." (The Local, The English Language Newspaper in Sweden, November 4, 2008) So what kind of tantrums do Swedes want? Strange to tell, ill natured outbursts of pure rage are a beloved Christmas staple: "In Sweden millions of people have tuned in to watch the hot-headed Disney character's Christmas special every year since 1959. More than 3.5 million people tuned in to the show aired on Sveriges Television (SVT), close to 40 percent of the Swedish population. ... SvT programming director Thomas Nilsson said the future of the sailor suit-wearing hero, known as Kalle Anka in the Nordic country, was safe in Sweden. 'Kalle has been the number one or number two (programme) for years.'" (The Local, December 25, 2008) Lucky Swedes. If only Canadians were permitted a little light hearted seasonal nonsense.
Whatever Happened To -
bus beheader and cannibal Vince Weiguang Li has been found mentally fit to stand trial. The shattered family of 22-year-old victim Tim McLean is suing the RCMP (who stood by for hours while Li carved and ingested choice cuts of his victim) as well as the federal government for negligence. Unfortunately, the family is not specifically suing the Immigration department. There are simply too many "oops, we goofed" entries in the Immigration ledger. At the very least, Canadians deserve a public account of how Li managed to enter under the skilled worker category, as a computer programmer, when his work history consists of swinging a mop. If Li scammed his way in, he can and should be deported at the conclusion of his sentence -- assuming there is one. Instead, horrified Canadians were told almost from the outset that Li was "ours" in perpetuity and not to get uppity ideas about deporting him. It is one thing for the public to be angry with the courts for pathological leniency, another entirely when the question of deportation is allowed nowhere near the bench. -- He ate him. "'From all accounts, it was an entirely unprovoked attack,' said McLean's mother, Carol de Delley. 'My son was sleeping; he had his headphones on with his head up against the window. And this man just lost it, he stabbed him a couple of times [actually 40 times], and then beheaded him, and it just gets more gruesome from there.' De Delley quit her job as a school bus driver after the attack because she couldn't stand to get on a bus. ... Li's trial is set for March 2. He has not yet entered a plea, but his lawyer told reporters here that the trial is expected to focus on his mental health. That could set the stage for a verdict that would allow him to be freed by a provincial review board once he is deemed healthy and no longer a threat. That possibility outrages De Delley. 'What he did didn't just destroy my son and our family, but think of all those people on that bus,' she said. 'They are Mr. Li's living victims. I know what I see in my mind, and I wasn't there. I can't imagine having actually witnessed it, and having to live day and night with those images in my mind.'" (Los Angeles Times, December 14, 2008) Question: Does some anonymous bureaucrat also lie awake nights tormented by those same images and the knowledge that it was he who rubber stamped Li's entry? For that matter, how do Manitoba Mounties sleep? The RCMP were at the scene by 9 pm, but Li was not arrested until he made a move to escape the bus -- at 1:30 am!Eau De Corruption
It is a source of wonder to the rest of the world that a nice, preachy country like Canada should offer visas to strippers. To outsiders it may sound like a cosy arrangement with flesh smuggling gangsters, but Canadians know they must not question immigration policy -- it's a government agency run on tax dollars and utterly immune to criticism. After the slapstick antics of the Judy Sgro Envelope Licker Scandal, there were hand-on-heart assurances that stripper visas would be abolished. In fact, they still exist, albeit in less tumescent form: As of last spring, "only 17 exotic dancer permits have been issued since the Conservatives came to power, down from 423 in 2004. [In 2003, 661 jiggle visas were issued, 552 of them to Romanians. The declining numbers have not escaped the notice of flesh peddlers. In April 08, security was tightened around then] Immigration Minister Diane Finley following threats related to Conservative efforts to keep foreign strippers out of Canada. Numerous threats, of an escalating nature ... are directly linked to Bill C-17, the government's anti-stripper legislation, and hinted at an organized crime connection. ... Finley introduced the anti-stripper legislation early last year ... as a measure she said would crack down on sexual exploitation and human trafficking." (CTV, April 23, 2008) Repulsive as this may be, it can't be entirely unexpected -- coercion and extortion midwived the stripper visa into being: "Intimidation by organized crime and 'bad guys' in the adult entertainment business led Human Resources Development Canada to establish a special fast-track entry programme for foreign exotic dancers [in 1998], according to a senior government official. Bureaucrats at HRDC and Citizenship and Immigration have known for years that many foreign dancers, mainly from Romania and Eastern Europe, were being trafficked by criminal syndicates and, ... despite evidence from police and reputable organizations that the women were compelled into prostitution, HRDC officials would not shut down the labour-market programme that exempted strip club owners from having to prove a scarcity of native-born dancers. The insider, speaking on background, said: ... 'Nobody seems to know how it got approved. Nobody seems to know the origin of the thing. When [we] pressed them on it, the answer was, well, they didn't want their local people having to deal with the club bookers or the owners or whomever they were having to deal with,' said the official. 'The best answer [we] got is that they wanted to get their people out of dealing with these characters, these guys.' ... By giving a blanket exemption to foreign strippers, department officials did not have to deal with strip club owners or their representatives on a case-by-case basis, said the official said. This meant the Immigration Department had little choice but to grant temporary work permits to exotic dancers since HRDC had designated the strip club industry as facing a labour shortage." (National Post, December 18, 2004) It just makes you swell with pride to see your country capitulate to the inducements of thugs. And remember, no criticism! In reality, there is actually a surfeit of "dancers" in Canada and a shortage of customers staying away in droves from the feral scrum of rapacious "dancers" competing to loot their pockets and max out their cards. Nice.
Their Computers Can't Talk To Each Other
"The first person charged in Canada under the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act, which became law in 2000, was Desire Munyaneza, for his alleged role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide. He was arrested in Toronto in 2005 after a five-year RCMP probe. [A new study of multi-agency efforts to prosecute modern war criminals and genocidists was] prepared by the consulting firm Goss Gilroy Inc. for the Justice Department. ... The Goss Gilroy study estimated prosecution costs of $4 million by examining an 'African' case and a 'European' case, neither of which it identified further. The study notes that the cost would typically be spread over 30 months, and that travel alone accounts for about $1.5 million of the total. Last year, the four departments [RCMP, Citizenship and Immigration, the Canada Border Services Agency and the Justice Department] agreed to use scarce resources to prevent more alleged war criminals from entering Canada, rather than for prosecutions of persons already living here, despite pressure from human-rights groups that Canada use the courts more often. [And the figures suggest that this is an immigration, rather than an existing domestic problem.] Between 2001 and 2006, officials removed 221 people and prevented another 2,100 from entering the country. ... The report is especially critical of a key database created by Citizenship and Immigration but later transferred to the Canada Border Services Agency. The agency is unable to exploit the so-called Modern War Crimes System database because the programming is incompatible with the CBSA's own computer systems. 'This means that CBSA, as the main user of MWCS, cannot input new information into the system, or update it, as the platform used by the agency is not compatible with the one used by CIC (Citizenship and Immigration),' says the document. The report calls on the government to provide money to upgrade the system." (Toronto Star, December 14, 2008)
Still Careening Downhill
While immigrant numbers increase year by year, immigrant outcomes continue to scream like a deflated balloon. And the trend is all dependably downward: According to Statistics Canada, "established immigrants — those who had lived in Canada for between 11 and 15 years — had more difficulty finding jobs reflecting their educational attainment in 2006 than they did in 1991. ... In 1991, about 12% of long-term male immigrants with a university degree had jobs with low educational requirements. By 2006, this proportion had increased to 21%. The gap between these long-term male immigrants and Canadian-born workers widened during this period. The proportion of Canadian-born university-educated men who had jobs with low educational requirements remained stable at about 10%. ... These increases for established immigrants suggest that the difficulties, which have long plagued immigrants who have arrived recently, today have an impact on established immigrants. They also suggest that difficulties experienced by recent immigrants are not necessarily temporary. The proportions for recent immigrants — those who have lived in Canada for less than 5 years — were also up, but remained within the levels observed since 1991. Among these short-term immigrants, nearly 24% of university-educated men had jobs with low educational requirements, as did slightly less than 40% of their female counterparts. A number of factors could have been behind this deterioration for long-term immigrants. Among men, the change in their profile explained only one-quarter of the deterioration. The factors included in the profile were mother tongue, country of origin, level of schooling, age, region of residence and visible minority status. On the other hand, certain fields of study lowered their chances of having a job with low educational requirements. The fact that many of them had degrees in applied sciences provided some protection in 2006. ... Thus, an important part of the deterioration for immigrants during the 15-year period appears attributable to factors other than socio-demographic characteristics. Some of these factors may have included the language skills of immigrants, as well as the non-recognition of their credentials, their level of schooling or their experience acquired in foreign countries. They might also have included the quality of education received by nationals of relatively new countries of origin, economic cycles and the immigrant class in which the individual gained admittance to Canada, that is, refugee, family reunification and economic immigrant." (Exchange Post, December 22, 2008) With such consistently lousy outcomes and a tanking economy, Ottawa is bringing even higher numbers in this year.
Hoochie Koochie HIV
"An HIV-infected stripper who knowingly passed on the virus to her unsuspecting husband faces possible deportation because she has been criminally convicted for her reckless behaviour. In a ruling made public Tuesday, the Federal Court dismissed a deportation challenge from Suwalee Iamkhong [aka 'Ricky'], a landed immigrant who came to Canada from Hong Kong on a work visa in 1995 to perform as an exotic dancer at Toronto's famous Zanzibar Tavern. Originally from Thailand, Iamkhong met Canadian Percy Whiteman at the strip club soon after her arrival and she married him in 1997. Iamkhong, 39, tested positive for HIV in Hong Kong, but she did not divulge her condition to her husband until she fell ill and was hospitalized [with a related meningococcal condition] in 2004. Iamkhong was sentenced in August 2007 to three years in prison after being convicted of criminal negligence causing bodily harm and aggravated assault. [With a sentence of more than two years, she is subject to removal at completion of sentence.] Whiteman, who has been publicly vocal about his wife's deceit, ... said that his ultimate goal is to see her kicked out of the country, particularly since he is still her legal sponsor and remains responsible for her until 2011. ... Whiteman said he received a letter last week from Correctional Service of Canada informing him that Iamkhong has been released from prison and is being detained by the Canadian Border Services Agency pending her deportation. He has filed a civil lawsuit against Iamkhong and the Immigration Department, alleging it did not take appropriate steps to screen her health when she entered the country on a work permit for exotic dancing." (Star Phoenix, December 16, 2008)
More unsavoury details emerge in Whiteman's August 18, 2007 interview on the Craig Bromell Show: "I found out while we were in court and that that she was a prostitute back in Hong Kong. ... Immigration Canada asked her for a full medical but they forgot to do a follow up ... Immigration now is telling me that they don't know where her medical records are. ... Immigration Canada welcomed her [to] Zanzibar with some kind of agent they were using at the time; her manager at the time was Wally Waterman. He knew of her test and they said: 'Oh don't worry about it.' ... There was a media ban on this for over three years ... protecting her. ... In 2001, when she got her landed immigrant papers, her and her sister went down to Thailand and they both had [enhancement] surgeries and I was very concerned when I found out that they had both had a blood transfusion and her sister up here is married. Her sister is even a stripper [also at the Zanzibar], her sister has even been out 'doing other acts' and everything like that so this whole situation has just been bottled too much.
And the reason I want society to know and everyone in Toronto, is what if this happens to someone else? You know when we were split, I know she was seeing someone else ... I don't know their names ... but hopefully they know who Ricky and Pangey [the sister] are and they step forward -- they go get tested." Throughout the marriage, Whiteman's work weeks averaged out at an incredible 120 hours. He elaborated on the delightful terms of life with the rapacious "Ricky" -- seven years his senior -- in a June 6, 2007 interview on the John Oakley Show: "I always worked two or three jobs, I still do. I was paying for all the rent and everything and all bills for food and her and her sister were sending all their money back to Thailand for the family to build a house." Ugh. Dare one ask, what kind of "house"? Seems "Ricky" was determined to kill Mr. Whiteman one way or another. Not surprisingly, "this was not a first marriage for Ms. Iamkhong. After leaving the rice fields of her village, she landed in Bangkok, where at 15, she found herself pregnant and then deserted by her common-law husband. There was also another marriage during the subsequent 10 years, although details are fuzzy. She left her son behind, moving to Hong Kong in 1996 to work as a go-go dancer and, briefly, a prostitute." (Globe and Mail, August 18, 2007) Mr. Whiteman may be gullible beyond belief, but if the Immigration department's only function is to fill Canada's quota for HIV positive strippers, we ought to shut department doors.
AIDS Ahoy
"Young man, there's no need to feel down. I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground. I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town .
.." (YMCA, Village People) Remember that Toronto AIDS conference about two and a half years ago? You know, the one where "more than 150 delegates from 50 countries claimed refugee status. ... Nearly all were HIV-positive [and] many of those who filed refugee claims have been successful. ... Samuel Kyambadde, 37, was among 150 delegates of African countries who attended the high-profile August 2006 conference. [He] filed a failed refugee claim four days after arriving in Toronto, saying he would face persecution in Uganda because of his homosexuality, which he claims he's kept secret so far. His claim was thrown out by an Immigration and Refugee Board and that decision was appealed to the Federal Court of Canada, who this month ruled that Kyambadde lacked credibility and rejected the case. That refusal can still be taken to a Federal Court of Appeal. [After that, there's the ministerial permit on humanitarian and compassionate grounds dodge, the church basement route, or the simple expedient of falling off immigration radar. Not surprisingly] no date has been set for Kyambadde's removal from Canada." (Toronto Sun, December 26, 2008)CRIME WATCH
Another Immigration Winner!: Jailed gangster was worth $400m: divorced wife
Meet Hai Bo Dong, another textbook case of what's wrong with Canada's dysfunctional immigration system. Hai Bo Dong is a Chinese gangster who came to Canada and was accepted as an immigrant in 1997, along with his wife and child. "Nineteen years after they were wed, the dark history of the family's lavish lifestyle and the violence that fed it was revealed in a divorce ruling posted on the B.C. Supreme Court website. Today, Dong sits in a Chinese prison, serving a life sentence for what the Chinese legal system calls 'gangsterism.' His ex-wife, Angela Liu, went to court in B.C. to fight for the family home valued at $1.7 million, a $50,000 car, and past spousal and child support worth $898,922. She argued she was entitled to the money because she has limited English, no work or career prospects, and fears her ex-husband. The judge ruled in her favour. …
Liu claimed that Dong lived the high life, owning several homes, properties and businesses in China and elsewhere, many vehicles and bodyguards. He was also a high-risk gambler in Las Vegas, losing $250,000 within two years. In 2007, he was convicted for his part in a Dalian underworld gang. Dong was jailed for life for illegal gambling, organizing prostitution rings, tax evasion, illegal possession of firearms, bribery, usury and intentional homicide. The documents state his total assets, all procured illegally, total more than $200 million yuan " an amount that would today be equivalent to more than $35 million earned mostly through 'all sorts of evil '¦ [He] bullied and persecuted people through violence, threat or other measures, dominating Dalian region." (Vancouver Sun,. January 2, 2009)
And, just when we think that our criminal import Dong may never again darken Canada's shores, the Vancouver Sun informs us: "Although he's imprisoned for life, there is said to be a likelihood that Dong will be released at some point and deported to Canada, the document states."
1. Exactly on what basis was Mr. Dong accepted into Canada as an immigrant back in 1997?
2. Who, precisely (name), approved his application?
3. Was any criminal record check done? If not, why not?
4. Did Mr. Dong have a criminal record prior to coming to Canada? If so, can he not be stripped of his citizenship for lying, as our German-bashing war crimes unit, does to Germans and Slavs who did not volunteer information they may never have been asked (Did they serve in an SS unit during the war)?
5. Why was Mrs. Dong - well, actually, Angela Liu - allowed into Canada. After 11 years here, apparently she is a distinct underachiever and has "few skills fit for the workplace, limited English abilities."

Some information about Canon 5D Mark III
Be similar to the predecessor-the EOS 5D Mark II, the Canon EOS 5D Mark III also brings breakthroughs in features for a digital camera. With outstanding features such as the 22 Mp resolution, full-frame CMOS sensor and 1080p HD video recording…, both cameras including EOS Mark II and Mark III are perfect choices for professional photography. However, it's realistic to say that the Canon 5D Mark III is at a higher level than its predecessor thanks to new and improved features. Of course, the camera also has the higher price level. For details in highlights and price of the camera, please read the whole review at least one time. Surely, the article will help you a lot in making purchasing decision.
Buy Cheap Canon 5D Mark III body on January, 2015
Compared to the EOS 5D Mark II, the 5D Mark III is built with the same outside but the different inside. The differences are showed in the improvement in design with lots of new features such as a 61 point auto focus system, 63 zone metering system, an expanded ISO range of sensitivity and so on…Now, let's look at some highlights and make the general insights into them.
We will say about the improvement in its full-frame sensor. The 5D Mark III possesses a developed CMOS sensor with a resolution of 22.3 Mp and a wide range of 100-25600 ISO in sensitivity (expandable up to 102,400 ISO). These specs in the 5D Mark II are only 21.2 Mp in resolution and wide range ISO setting 100-6400 (expandable up to 25,600 ISO). Coming with the DIGIC 5+ Image Processor, the Canon 5D Mark III is really suitable for any photography in any condition. No matter bright or dim light, the camera always provides excellent performances with noise reduction and exceptional processing speed.
Now, let's throw a knowing look to the upgraded continuous shooting speed, AF system and viewfinder…. These enhancements are filtered down from other Canon's models. While the 61 point AF system is inherited from the flagship EOS 1D X, the 63-zone iCFL metering is from the EOS 7D then the Canon 5D Mark III borrows the 100% viewfinder from both models. The high-speed continuous shooting of 6 fps is also better than the 3.9 fps of the Mark II. Although it is still slower than the 8 fps of the 7D, it's able to capture the action as you want.
In addition to above features, Canon 5D Mark III also has a new in its design surely most people will like is that there is the bonus of twin memory card slots including one Compact Flash slot and one SD slot. That helps users not only in saving more data but also in sharing data with other devices.
Canon 5D Mark III Pros and Cons
In the comparison with its predecessor, the Canon 5D Mark III shows the better in performance thanks to features which might be upgraded from the Mark II' design or inherited from other models of Canon. So it's easy to make photos and videos with excellent quality.
The quality of JPEG photos captured at low ISO sensitivities might not be excellent as you want.
Canon 5D Mark III Best Price
If you want to get the Canon EOS 5D Mark III home, don't hesitate to order Amazon.com. In there, they offer two styles of the camera with two price levels 5D Mark III Body style and 5D Mark III Body+ 24-105mm Lens.

President Bush awarded the National Medal of Science and Technology to filmmaker George Lucas Last week at the White House.
That doesn't mean he's gone over to the darkside. Recently Lucas joined Democrats at a town hall meeting to help with the innovation agenda that will be a big part of the Democrats' 2006 platform. At the meeting Lucas subtly compared the Emperor to Dick Cheney. "The Emperor works behind Darth Vader," he said to loud laughter and applause from the crowd of 100 college students and Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons. Best town hall EVER!
Lucas' work was recently slaughtered during a recent House GOP retreat where they screened a parody of Star Wars, cleverly titled Election Wars. Democrats were cast as villains such as Darth Pelosi.
Worst parody EVER.
VIDEO: Jon Stewart covers Election Wars on the Daily Show. By the way something, skip about two minutes to get to the nonsense in question.

I really wanted to love this foundation, but it just didn't sit well for long at all. I purchased In shade C6. Packing is great, however I never really care about the packaging. It matched my skin perfect. It is a great foundation for summer or spring, really does give you a luminous look. I've read some people do not apply a setting powder so the glow look can show. I've tried both ways, and without powder I love it but it just can't work for me as my only skin will show through right away. It just doesn't stay long for me after 2/3 hours my forehead is shining, it's slipping off my nose. Ugh. I'm not sure if it's the sure if it's the spf or what. Maybe I'll give it another try next year.
I wanted to love this, but by lunchtime, my face is an oil slick, and I am NOT a very oily person in general. I would stay away from this if you have normal skin that tends toward oily not dry...I dont get it, no other foundation makes me this oily! I use MAC Mineralized Skin Finish over top, as I do to set all my foundations, and it did nothing to prevent the oil from coming to the surface. This is not a winner in my book (though the color match was perfect).
More reviews by BrittneyMaxine
Two words... Covered nothing. I even layered it. I would recommend this makeup for anyone with very good and healthy looking skin that just wants a natural luminous finish foundation. It does have it's place...just not on me!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is the best foundation I've ever used. It truly provides the most luminous finish I've ever seen from a foundation. I would say that the foundation is a medium finish but you can definitely blend more in for amped up coverage or mix with moisturizer for a lighter finish. You can still see your skin through the foundation but the overall effect is one of an even, flawless complexion.
I'm in my mid-40s, Asian with light/medium skin and the older I get the more I find I need something to provide some radiance to my skin. I think as we age, it's not so much the wrinkles that makes us look older but the dullness of our skin. It's hard to fight even with Retina, exfoliation, Vitamin C, etc.
I'm a C2 and C3 in Mac (Face and Body Liquid Foundation) and found the W4 a great match in Loreal.
While the sticker on the bottle says "new" the availability looks thin on the shelves so I think I'm going to stock up.
-great, luminous, even, flawless finish (if you didn't look radiant before you will after using this foundation)
-nice pump bottle
Also, for those (like me) that don't know how to match a drugstore foundation and don't want to bother returning the foundation (no matter how generous the return policy), try "findation.com" It's a great website where you enter the information on foundation that you already have and then the computer algorithm will generate a list of matching foundations from other brands. It's how I found the L'Oreal color and it's perfect.
11 out of 11 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I tried this foundation way, way back so I decided to give it another run. Before I was using the Maybelline Fit Me, and I liked the finish, coverage was decent, not having a pump was a bummer. Well for this, I found a good match to my skin tone but finds that this oxidizes terribly. It's not fun looking in the mirror in the car and seeing your face orange and your neck a different shade completely, it's embarrassing. The coverage is meh, decent at best. It can be layered for more coverage but it sits kind of heavy on the skin. I apply it with my Elf powder brush like I do for all liquid foundations. I've tried fingers and beauty blender, but the brush works best. My skin is normal/combination, hardly EVER oily. I like a dewy finish, for that reason, matte foundations tends to make me look flaky and dried out, but this shit leaves my face looking sweaty, greasy, just plain disgusting. It slides off my face, powder or not, sweating or not. I'm just really disappointed. It transfers terribly too, which the Fit Me did as well, but I feel like that's just an overall better foundation. Gonna go back to Colorstay after this endeavor. And it cost me like 10-11 bucks at WalMart, which seems a little pricey for the disappointment that proceeded. I don't get the hype of it at all, the only benefit is the pump, which is ridiculously hard to come by now a days.
I really should only be giving this 3 lippies but I'm so impressed with how it makes me look that I have to give 4.
The good: Goes on wonderfully with just my fingertips. No brushes needed. The bottle is small and pump is convenient and clean. No mess! The color matches my skin wonderfully. Whenever I wear this I get multiple compliments on how amazing my skin looks. People literally stop me and ask me what I did. It does wonders and makes me look so good in photos too!
The not-so-good: I have dry skin, even in the summer so this foundation should be great since it relieves me of all dryness. Almost a little too well. Never in my life have I had shine to my face but this gives it to me. It is very "lumi" butI have to watch where I put it because then my nose just looks oily. I have no idea what people with oily skin would do with this. I suspect it would be a slight disaster.
The ugly: This foundation comes off any chance it gets. On clothes, when you touch your face. Doesn't matter if you prime your skin or set it with a powder after you apply or with a setting spray. Nothing locks it in. Surprisingly you still look like you have makeup on but prepare to ugly up some shirt collars. I made sure to not over-apply and went very light on the coverage and still it came off. This is why I can't give it a perfect rating. The makeup lasts and makes me look amazing but it just gets on everything! I can't wear this to family events like weddings where I would be giving hugs and kisses to family members because my makeup would probably rub off on formal clothes and then I'd be mortified.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Oh my gosh, this foundation. I usually go for a full coverage, matte foundation, that is gonna stay put all day. So of course I bought the original true match. It's good, not great. But when my skin is looking pretty decent and I don't want that full coverage matte look, I. LOVE. THIS. FOUNDATION. I love that it has a pump, the true match original is a tiny bottle that you have to pour, and I always pour too much. I've found it works best with a good stippling brush like the one by real techniques. The beauty blender works well too, but the thinner formula has better coverage with the brush. The coverage is medium, which is why I only use it when my skin is being particularly well behaved. I do set it with a powder, like I do with all foundation, no matter what. So it may feel like the powder defeats the purpose of using a luminous foundation, but with this one it doesn't. It holds up pretty well too. If I wear it to class in the morning, I'm probably going to need to at re powder before I go in to work. But it's gonna be a while before I need a complete touch up.
Also, I've found that when I mix this foundation, with the original true match, it's awesome! This summer I had an original bottle, which was too light for me, and a bottle of the true match lumi, which was too dark. I mixed them together and bam! Perfect shade, not too matte, not too dewy, and it stayed on much longer without a touch up.

I heard a lot of good things about this product, especially for dry skin. I haven't used a foundation in quite awhile and would normally stick to heavy concealers to cover the redness. I was able to pick it up today and applied it with a damp sponge. My store had limited colours and I ended up picking up N 1-2 which fits me pretty well. After applying I powdered only on my nose and under my eyes and went about my day.
A few hours later I looked in the mirror and was amazed. There was no caking anywhere despite me applying 2 layers. It just looked like skin. Since I deal with a lot of dryness it was quite amazing to see no cakiness anywhere and just flawless skin. I found my nose got a little shiny throughout the day but nothing abnormal for me. If you're looking for a medium coverage foundation that feels light on the face and suffer from dry skin, please try this! There's a great colour range (depending where you go) and the bottle has a pump!!
I will keep using this and hopefully my opinion on it remains the same
Not a bad foundation. Blends pretty nicely and seamlessy. Looks like skin on the face and you can get good coverage by layering it. Didin't break me out which is good but it didn't have good staying power. When I touch my face it just swipes off and I can see exactly where it came off. It also has terrible oil control and made me look like a greaseball after a couple of hours even when I powdered with an oil controlling powder.
