Hi everyone, I am new here, but I have a couple of questions, that I did not find on the forums.
We hopefully will be closing on our new home by the end of the month. We are trying to do it ourselves. We own the property, we used our plans, and we were there for EVERY step of the process, from dirt, to finish, so we know everything was done to our specs, and with our approval. We are not financing, we pay as we go. Now that we are getting close to the end, what paperwork should we be asking for other than the certificate of occupancy, and the warranties. All details of the spending is in the contract. There won't be any change orders. I am thinking about getting an inspection, but like I said, I watched it all go together myself. Everything is new, so basic warranties go with that, and we will have a minimum of one year on all warranties. I will probably get an appraisal.. What other things am I missing. Thanks in advance Lee |

"What other things am I missing." A good RE lawyer. Watching it go together yourself (did you get permits for everything necessary?) does not mean everything's perfect unless you're certified as a plumber, electrician and carpenter yourself, and you could end up with a huge amount of trouble not being qualified to judge not whether your followed your plans, but whether or not the final product as a whole in fact is problem free - theory is one thing, reality another :-). I didn't know you could warranty yourself in any case. But there will be other issues apart from that anyhow, whether land surveying, materials meeting code everywhere, whatever your more local laws call for otherwise and you really need to not skimp on the final stuff... one sit down with a good lawyer will be worthwhile in the end. |
A 'closing' is for the transfer of title to the land the house sits on. Who owns the lot? |
If you already own the property and aren't taking out a mortgage, then there is no "closing." Are you talking about what you should ask for before making your final payment to your general contractor? |
Of course we have all the permits, of course we have had all the inspections. Everything meets Code. I am not warrantying anything. The GC is the one that extends the warranty. These are my plans, and I know exactly, if they are followed.. To the inch. I don't have to worry about surveys. Property has been in the family for 50yrs. All deeds have been surveyed, and finalized. Bill, You are the one that hit the nail on the head,,What paperwork should I be looking for. Thanks |
There really isn't much of a transaction left. If everything was permitted and inspected already and you have the certificate of occupancy, you've got yourself a house. The only sticking point in final payment should be that everything is done to your satisfaction. That would typically include a walk through where you make a punch list of any small items that need to be completed. Once those are completed, you can hand your GC a check and thank him for a job well done. When you are dealing with your own land and your own cash, all of the legal stuff is basically done up front in permits and inspections. If you handled that properly, the rest is just a matter of verifying the GC did the job you are paying him for. |
Thank You..That is what I thought, but wanted a second opinion..If anyone cares to look, here is the link to our large process..Lots of photos. http://s254.photobucket.com/albums/hh86/bwxmas/House/?start=all |

I would get a document of some sort that says that the contractor is accepting the final payment in full & that he has no right to any additional payment. & I'd get an attorney to draw this up. |
I would get the contractor and his subs to sign lien releases so they cant't come back and file a lien against your property for non payment. This could happen if your GC didn't pay a sub. |
I will be getting all releases, and warranty paperwork, along with compaction tests, and inspection reports before final payment |
Lee, sorry to have been so redundant... it would have been nice if you had initially mentioned the things that all came with "of course"s in your first note - I was trying to help. |
No problem, I was in a hurry when typing, and left out pertinent info. All that matters is I got the info I needed, and have a bit more info in my holster when needed..I had doubts that people on this forum, or any public forum would go through that much effort, and post for all to see that he did not have all the permits needed by city, county, or state. Kinda digging yourself a grave so to speak. Anyway, I appreciate the repsonses |

Joe,...good you came to the rescue! I'm sure, a "real photographer" has everything needed |
You're so right. I've seen similar situations . . . people trying to save money by having a friend do the pictures. Why these friends think they are qualified to shoot a wedding, I have no idea. Years ago when I was working for a newspaper one of my co-workers asked me to do her wedding photography. I said I would do the candids if she got someone else to do the posed pictures. She didn't, and I didn't. I was relieved, to tell you the truth. Your five-year-old is off to a good start! |
Oh no, friends helping is a good thing. The point is to do prep work. Just having a camera is not enough. During the wedding is not the time to realize that you are not prepared. But...that is why pros charge the big $$$ - there are definately pros that should not be. It not that friends are not qualified to do weddings, I think all have the best intentions. If you really want to do this and do it right - then do it right. Learn, buy the right equipment. |

I found a site I really like called Better Explained. It's run by a very nice guy named Kalid Azad, who posts excellent explanations of concepts in programming and mathematics. For example, his explanation of natural log was excellent.
And, today's awesome webcomic is the well-known Dr. McNinja, by Chris Hastings. How he's managed to keep this concept funny after several years is beyond my comprehension. He's just that good.

ALSO, I want to issue a correction - Kiva does not pay out interest at this time. The money for interest goes toward paying operating expenses.

Cost of Child Abuse and Neglect Rival Other Major Public Health Problems
Child maltreatment is a serious and prevalent public health problem in the United States. In fiscal year 2008, U.S. state and local child protective services (CPS) received more than 3 million reports of children being abused or neglected—or about 6 complaints per minute, every day. An estimated 772,000 children were classified by CPS authorities as being maltreated and 1,740 children aged 0 to 17 died from abuse and neglect in 2008.
The financial costs for victims and society are substantial. A recent CDC study, The Economic Burden of Child Maltreatment in the United States and Implications for Prevention, found the total lifetime estimated financial costs associated with just one year of confirmed cases of child maltreatment (physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse and neglect) is approximately $124 billion.
Published in Child Abuse and Neglect, The International Journal, the study looked at confirmed child maltreatment cases—1,740 fatal and 579,000 non-fatal—for a 12-month period. Findings show each death due to child maltreatment had a lifetime cost of about $1.3 million, almost all of it in money that the child would have earned over a lifetime if he or she had lived. The lifetime cost for each victim of child maltreatment who lived was $210,012, which is comparable to other costly health conditions such as stroke with a lifetime cost per person estimated at $159,846 or type 2 diabetes, which is estimated between $181,000 and $253,000.
A promising array of prevention and response programs have great potential to reduce child maltreatment. Given the substantial economic burden of child maltreatment, the benefits of prevention will likely outweigh the costs for effective programs.

Gerina Piller has been used to a fast-paced lifestyle on the golf course ever since her days growing up in Roswell, N.M. She's also used to working her way to the top.
When Piller decided to take up golf she had big shoes to follow in the small Southwest U.S. city. She attended the same high school, Goddard High, where World Golf Hall of Famer Nancy Lopez made her mark a generation before. So it was no surprise that golf became a favorite after Piller played Little League baseball with the boys and volleyball.
After a successful college career at the University of Texas-El Paso, it took some time for Piller to reach the LPGA. She failed twice at the LPGA Qualifying Tournament and played a season on the Symetra Tour. Her rookie LPGA season was 2011 and she has improved ever since. This season has been her best by leaps and bounds – with $368,340 in earnings (more than doubling her career earnings), seven top-10s (out of nine in her career) and a spot on the United States Solheim Cup team (0-2-1 record).
Piller attributes much of that success to relationships developed on and off the golf course.
In her rookie season, Piller's "big sister" was veteran Angela Stanford, who resides close by in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area. Stanford footed the bill to fly Piller to the 2011 Solheim Cup in Ireland so that she could experience the atmosphere in anticipation of one day playing in the team competition. They were paired in the Four-ball matches at this year's Solheim Cup. Additionally, Piller this year started working with instructor Mike Wright, Stanford's coach, at Shady Oaks, Ben Hogan's home club in Fort Worth.
"She's been an amazing role model and I just learned so much from her," Piller said.
"I think any time you bring a team player into this team atmosphere it helps," Stanford said prior to the Solheim Cup. "She is laid back. People keep talking about her lack of a win and it's just a matter of time and people don't really know when it comes to golf."
Another connection is her husband Martin Piller. Piller, a two-time winner on the Web.com Tour and a former PGA Tour member, met Gerina on the course in Texas and the two were married in January 2011. The next day, they flew to the PGA Tour's 2011 season-opening event in Hawaii. When the Pillers play golf together, it's very competitive as they tee it up from the same tees. Piller can keep up from the longer distances as she ranked third in Driving Distance on the LPGA last season (268.9-yard average) and is fourth this season (269.2 average) to go with a ranking of 10th in Greens in Regulation (73 percent).
All of these factors point toward Piller's search for a first LPGA victory and also contention at the Evian Championship next week in France. Piller has finished ninth and T6 in the last two weeks, including a bogey-free, final-round 66 last week at the Safeway Classic in Portland, Ore. Earlier this season, she fired a career-low 62 in the Manulife Financial Classic in Canada.
So even though Piller missed the cut last year in her French debut, the arc of improvement could bode well entering the final major championship of the season.

Allen & Heath iLive MixPad for Worship, Part 1
Feb 2, 2012 12:13 PM, WIth Bennett Liles
And what was the attraction of that board? What features did it have that you wanted to go with for the church?
The big attractions on the T112 were the amount of functionality you had with the board, the features that you had with it, digital snake, moving faders, scene recall, a lot of buses, the racks you could configure so you could get different fixed format racks for them so you could do a 16x8—16 inputs, eight outputs, or you could go up to a 32x24 or 48x32. So you have a lot of options now, and that's really what attracted them was the features for the price and the price is very reasonable on the iLive T112. So they were looking at taking out a lot of their outboard gear system processor and a effects processors, EQs—all that kind of stuff just to replace it with one unit and then on top of that to be able to have a digital snake and to cut out their 100ft. of audio snake that they had in the building. [Timestamp: 6:20]
Well, that would make sense because they had had so many wiring problems and so many separate pieces of equipment externally connected and it cut out a lot of that interconnection stuff. It's got the mixRack. Where did you locate the mixRack?
The mix rack is located at the stage just for easy patching and that kind of thing.
And you decided to go with the Dante option card in the iLive mixer?
That's correct, and that initially wasn't done at first because the board was upgraded prior to the release of Dante, but being that with Entertainment Arts and stuff fairly connected with Allen & Heath and we speak with the representatives there a lot and we knew that this option was coming, so that was presented to the church as, "Hey, this is going to be an option down the road; it's not available right now, but it is something that's going to be available." So when the Dante card was initially announced, I believe it was at NAMM 2010. When Dante was announced, the church jumped right on it. They knew it wasn't going to be released for a while, but they decided they were going to go ahead and purchase it anyways not knowing that when it was going to come out or what the difficulties would be of integrating it to the system. They knew the capabilities were great and the price was just right for them to add it to their iLive system. [Timestamp: 7:35]
And it sounds like one of the best things on that with churches that use a lot of live music is that the band members eventually got into doing their own individual stereo monitor mixes?
Yes, what happened was the church has a few different issues with the building. It wasn't designed acoustically like most churches are to handle bands and all that kind of stuff, so they had the challenge of a lot of stage volume at first so there was a lot of floor monitors. They knew they needed to quiet it down. They knew they wanted to give the guy at FOH a lot of control over the sound, and with a lot of floor monitors and amplifiers and those kind of things, you can't really do that. So they knew they wanted to go [with] in-ear monitors. They were stuck on choosing between a Hear Back system or an Aviom system or just an in-ear monitor system. With the iLive, the great thing is you get access to 32 different buses, and you can tell the console what you want those buses to do, whether you want them to be mono, aux, or a stereo delivery or a matrix or group. You can pretty much set the board up the way you want to. So they decided to go with wireless in-ear monitor systems, and they also knew that Allen & Heath was coming with an iPad app that would allow you to mix your own monitors from the iPad. [Timestamp: 8:52]
Yeah, they call that Mixpad?
Mixpad is the app, yes.
OK, when did that become available for the iPad and what can you do with that?
Mixpad became available for the iPad earlier this year, and it really allows you to access almost everything on the iLive. There's a few things it doesn't let you access like scene recall, and it doesn't allow you access the actual specs processors on the board, but everything else it lets you access to. So you can have access to the main mix and that includes every parameter on each channel so you can have access to parametric EQ, on an input channel delay, all those kind of processors and you have access to all the output channels, graphic EQ—pretty much every parameter on the board. The other thing it allows you to do is it allows you to actually have access to send on each fader so you can actually mix into your auxes from the iPad with a simple double tap on a channel you're actually mixing into any other bus from that channel. So you're sending from that fader to any bus. So the Mixpad app allows you to do a lot. You can change channel names and colors and all that kind of stuff. [Timestamp: 10:02]
Yeah and being able to just walk around and do that from anywhere in the house to see how it sounds everywhere.
That's correct. Yeah a lot of the problems the church had at first was their soundboard was located upstairs and anybody who mixes audio knows that that's not really the best place to mix from—upstairs out of the splay of the speakers for the room. So the Mixpad app, for a lot of churches, allows them to come out of the booth and walk the room and be able to mix from downstairs. In fact, I know a lot of churches now that are using the Mixpad app that we've installed—the iLive for that; [they] are sitting in the congregation during service mixing and not a lot of people notice what they're doing because a lot of people bring iPads to church now because they're loaded with the Bible and everything else that you can get on them. So a lot of audio engineers are sitting down in the services now mixing from downstairs if they're not able to move their sound booth downstairs. [Timestamp: 10:57]
So did you train the people there on that? What was the learning curve like for them on the Mixpad app?
The learning curve is not that big on the Mixpad app. It really comes from experience from running the actual sound board first and yeah, we do train all of our customers on how to use the iLive system and then the Mixpad really becomes second nature to that. A lot of the features and accessibility on the Mixpad are the same to match with the surface—the iLive T112 surface or any, actually, iLive T surface. So it's made to interface very much like the board does so that there's not a huge learning curve with the Mixpad app. [Timestamp: 11:34]
OK, well, it sounds like that was a really good thing for them to have in that situation. I would think that any church with a lot of live music would benefit from that and John, thanks for being here for Part 1 to kind of get us into this and in Part 2 we'll talk more about Mixpad and some of other things they're doing on wireless monitoring but thanks for telling us about it.
Absolutely, thank you very much.

Polesine Parmense
Antica Corte Pallavicina Relais
Polesine Parma, 43010 , Italy
If culatello, an über-prosciutto produced in the misty lowlands near Parma, is a porcine cult favorite, then its high priest is Massimo Spigaroli—one of Italy's top salumi producers, president of the Culatello di Zibello Consorzio, chef of the legendary Al Cavallino Bianco restaurant, and a great-grandson of a farmer who cured hams for Giuseppe Verdi. And now he's a hotelier, too, with a new inn in a medieval castle on his historic farm estate, Antica Corte. After a feast of salumi and divine eggy pastas, guests can collapse into a four-poster bed in one of the six rooms, with antique furniture, Oriental carpets on tiled floors, and rustic-chic designer bathrooms. Following a breakfast of flaky crostata tarts and farm-fresh yogurt in a vaulted chamber decorated with 15th-century frescoes, guests can amble by the farm's heirloom geese and black Culatello pigs. The affordable room prices include a gift basket stuffed with a fine hunk of Parmesan, fruit, the estate's own wine, and dusky, soft strolghino salami.
Insider Tip:
Enroll in one of the Antica Corte's pasta-rolling, liqueur-producing, or salumi-tasting sessions.Amenities

Look, I happen to think Colin Powell is one of the most overrated public figures of the last 50 years, and there is not a cat o'nine tails he could use on himself that would be harsh enough to make him atone fully for that pack of lies he sold to the UN on behalf of the Iraq war. But I recognize that mileage varies on him, and that the fact that he endorsed the president for re-election today not only carries some weight in certain influential circles, but also that it rather blows one of the tires out from under the Willard Is Cruising bandwagon that so many folks seemed to be signing themselves aboard. Also, too, and this should not be underestimated in its entertainment value, what Powell did today is making all the right heads detonate in all the right places. The general theme? What do you expect? Those people always stick together.
Take, for example, the Dumbest Man on the Internet. Or these towering intellects. Or the twittering that has erupted at Breitbart's Mausoleum For Unemployables. Or visit an ostensibly straight news site. Come for The Stupid, but stay for the comments. They're priceless.

FC Dallas held its annual Soccer 101 for Women presented by AdvoCare on Wednesday night and the evening was filled with fun and some learning.
Attendees who had pre-registered for one of the coveted spots arrived in time for complementary food and drinks provided by Legends.
The crowd was then split into five groups who rotated through the various stations in FC Dallas Stadium.
Kevin Hartman and Ugo Ihemelu answered questions in the FC Dallas locker room about what it's like to be a professional soccer player.
Daniel Hernandez and play-by-play announcer Mark Followill explained the rules of the game and also took questions.
Ricardo Villar and assistant coach Marco Ferruzzi hosted a soccer skills challenge on the field for attendees.
Kelly Jacobson, wife of Andrew, discussed what it's like to be a spouse of a professional soccer player.
Athletic trainer Skylar Richards explained player fitness and tips for attendees who also play sports.
At the end of the night everyone received a gift bag for attending and a lucky few won door prizes like autographed memorabilia.
Gift and raffle items were provided by AdvoCare, Planet Tan and yellow tail - all proud partners of FC Dallas.
FRISCO -- Kevin Hartman isn't a stranger to playoff races.
The 16-year-veteran said he's been a part of some battles and the key is not letting pressure get the best of a team.
"There's a lot of pressure this time of year. It's not one team, it's every team," Hartman said. "You look at the emotion the players speak with before the games, after the games, you see how much is riding on it."
Yes, FC Dallas needs to keep winning to get the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. But the pressure, according to some soccer pundits, is seemingly on the team FCD is chasing – Vancouver Whitecaps FC, who haven't won a match since August 11.
FC Dallas is just two points behind Vancouver with four matches remaining for both clubs.
Coach Schellas Hyndman says FCD is in a good place mentally right now.
"You can see the team is in a unified group right now," Hyndman said.
That's key, according to Hartman, who says he hopes he can provide some type of veteran leadership to some of the younger players during this stretch run.
"You hopefully relay that it's important, to take it serious because you never know how many of these you're going to get," Hartman said. "I also think that you don't want to put any undue burden on them."
The FC Dallas Reserves return to the pitch tonight against the Sporting Kansas City Reserves at 7:30 p.m. FC Dallas fans are invited to watch the match at Field No. 4 at the Complex at FC Dallas Stadium.
FCD faced Sporting KC back in May when the two teams battled to a 2-2 draw in Kansas City.
FCD is currently 4-3-1 (13 pts) in Reserve League play, placing them in third place in the the Central/Mountain Division.
Last week we told you about paintings done by artist Brian Broadway of Blas Perez' late father and Bobby Rhine. This past weekend, the Rhine painting was installed in it's permanent home. Rhine's wife, Bevan Brooks Rhine, provides the update:
It was an honor to present this painting of Bobby to Coach Reid and the UCONN soccer department this past weekend. The really cool part is that they had Bobby's game jersey from that very photo and it's going to be hung next to the painting in the soccer offices. Very cool!!
Tuesday is the big day for soccer fans and gamers everywhere - the release of FIFA 13. This year's release comes with something extra for FC Dallas fans: Brek Shea featured on an official downloadable FIFA 13 cover. Here's what the cover looks like, which was created from a Matthew Visinsky photograph:

Science Project: Making Quicksand
Have you ever seen a movie where the hero is dashing through the jungle when they step in a bog of quicksand which sucks them down to their untimely death, or what seems their untimely death until they're saved at the last minute? Well, quicksand doesn't actually work like that. Sorry to bust your movie going experience, but quicksand is rarely deeper than a few feet and if you hold yourself still you will float to its surface and be free. Try this experiment to see exactly how quicksand works! Back to Article
I've done this in science before. My science teacher called it Oobleck.We mixed cornstarch, water, and food coloring. It felt so weird! It felt like gooey powder and when it dries up on your hands, they feel so stiff! I peeled the stuff off and it was like paint flaking off of a wall.
How long can it last? (Does it start to smell or rot after a while?)
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiii reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy likeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee thissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss projectttttttttttttt bdo u bro init lol

With Halloween swiftly approaching, I thought what better thread to start than a Haunted Mansion Appreciation Thread.
Feel free to talk about your favorite ghost, special effect, show scene, Ghost Host quote, or memorable moment you had. Perhaps some of you are still traumatized by the cast member in the knight armor that used to scare people. Or there's a certain detail you point out to someone who hasn't seen it yet. Or you can simply go on and on about how amazing the new improvements are.
My personal favorite happy haunt of the 999 is the mummy sitting up from his tomb drinking tea in the graveyard scene.

419 Mr R. G. Casey, Minister to the United States, to Mr Cordell Hull, U.S. Secretary of State
Letter 72/41 [WASHINGTON], 22 April 1941
I have the honour to refer to the conversation of this morning between yourself, the British Ambassador and myself, during which Lord Halifax and I submitted on behalf of our respective Governments that urgent consideration be given to the issuing of a declaration by the United States of America, the British Commonwealth and the Netherlands that the vital interests of all these countries would be affected by any further major move Southward by Japan.
As intimated during our conversation, His Majesty's Government in the Commonwealth of Australia is much concerned at the situation which may arise in the Pacific following upon the signature of the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact and the events of the past few weeks in the Eastern Mediterranean area. My Government feels that there is a strong possibility that Japan may decide that the near future represents a favourable moment in which to undertake some Southward enterprise, and believes that the necessary forces for such a Southward move are already concentrated and available for use.
It is against the above background that I have received telegraphic instructions from the Prime Minister of Australia (the Right Honourable R. G. Menzies) who is in London, and from the Acting Prime Minister (the Honourable A. W. Fadden) in Australia- to join with the British Ambassador in representing the above- mentioned viewpoint to you, and to ask that you would be so good as to consider making, on behalf of the United States Government, a public statement as to the identity of interests between your Government, the relevant Governments of the British Commonwealth and the Government of the Netherlands, in respect of the area towards which a Japanese Southward movement might be directed.
I need hardly say that my Government will await with great interest your decision in this matter. [1]

Live From The Mexican League All Star Game
Posted by Craig Robinson under Getting Blanked Special on May 16, 2013
At the weekend, the Mexican League had its Juego de Estrellas–its All-Star Game–in Oaxaca de Juárez, the capital of the state of Oaxaca. It's around 290 miles southeast of Mexico City where I live; six hours or so on a bus. I've never been to a Major League All-Star Game before, I've barely watched one all the way through, frankly; but I have a friend in Oaxaca, so it seemed like a good chance to see how Mexico does these things.

Flip Flop Fly Ball: The Toronto Blue Jays Draft History
Posted by Craig Robinson under Flip Flop Fly Ball, Toronto Blue Jays on Jan 16, 2013
Ed. Note: The Rule 4 amateur draft is one of the most important days of the baseball year. Making the right selection on draft day reverberates throughout an organization, just as whiffing on a pick keeps general managers and scouting directors up at night.
Drafting is important but isn't the be all, end all. The Toronto Blue Jays have a decent draft record over the past two decades. The team has, at times, been decent. That's it. How did it happen? Craig Robinson dig into the Blue Jays drafting with the latest Flip Flop Fly Ball infographic.

I have tried so many foundations from different brands (Rimmel, MAC, Clinique, Bourjois, etc). It's been really hard to find the right foundation for my skin (mostly oily with dry patches on my forehead towards the end of the day) and I have to say this has been my favourite out of all of them. I was a bit skeptical to buy it looking at the price (£9.99) but I went for it and I'm so glad I did. With oily skin I'm used to having to keep powdering, checking my face every hour or so. When I wore this foundation I have to say I was very surprised! Not only did it not let me oil shine through but it had amazing coverage, just what I needed for teenage skin. When I finish this, I'm definitely going to go for another bottle.
I usually have oily skin, but since its autumn, my usual HG Covergirl Outlast foundation seemed to be working differently than during the summer, so wanting a change (also I needed a foundation that actually matched me) I opted for this one. I used buff beige 825 in the Covergirl foundation but should've been using nude beige 832, so using the website findation.com I got matched to nude beige W3 in this foundation. I also picked up the powder and concealer in the corresponding shades. Since I bought them at Walgreens (I'm against the ethics of other more affordable mass retailers) I ended up paying $28 for all three products.
First of all the color match is spot on. I have warm yellow under tones, and the shade I got matched was perfect (I uploaded a picture, I'm wearing cat eye glasses). Coverage is actually ok, surprisingly it is isn't too light compared to the Covergirl foundation which is pretty full coverage. Along with the concealer my skin looks pretty good! Alone it's good for getting rid of redness and evening minor dark spots. I'd say I have slightly oily skin at the moment and this lasts four or five hours before I need to powder or blot. That's pretty good, since I appreciate the lighter, more breathable coverage.
Overall I'm really happy with my purchase. I really like how they work in conjunction and I am absolutely blown away by the spot in color match.
Recently found a great price and coupon so gave it a try. Big mistake...huge.
I applied it with both a brush and a sponge over moisturizer and primer. I couldn't believe how bad this was. It pooled in every pore both large and small, and the finish was cakey and dry. My skin didn't look matte it looked flakey. Adding insult to injury there is micro-glitter in it so in the daylight I have sparkles floating in the pools of my pores!
I bought a warm and neutral shade and they both were very close to my skin tone, so for that it gets a star which it barely deserves. This is one of the worse foundations I have ever used.
I used this foundation for a little while, didn't like it and shelved it. Almost a year later I gave in to the rave and rant about this foundation and re-purchased it. I loved it instantly! And I also understood what was wrong with the first bottle, it was the wrong shade and the product was nearing expiry.
My current shade is W3 Nude Beige. It is the most perfectly matching foundation I have ever had. It literally disappears into my skin. The coverage is very buildable and one can choose to sheer it out to a light coverage or build it up to a medium to full coverage without getting cakeface.
It doesn't cause breakouts or make my face oily. I read recently that Dita Von Teese has tweeted this to be her favorite foundation (in the shade N1).
The finish this foundation has on my skin is matte to slight satin. It looks awesome with a primer underneath.
My only peeve is that it comes in a little bottle. How about increasing the quantity some more and changing the packaging to a bottle with a pump?
Love this foundation. Will definitely purchase again.
First of, the packaging is hard to work with but I bought it anyway because I wanted to give it a try. The consistency is very runny and the formula has freaking shimmers!!! I'm a very oily faced person and omg did this make me shiny within an hour! The color selection is great but I just wish the got rid of those microscopic sparkles! I would recommend this for people with normal to dry skin. I've heard it clings on to your pores, but that didn't happen to me. Remember you must have a clean canvas for you make up to look good. So don't expect your foundation to look flawless if you don't put a lot into your skin care routine.

I like L'oreal True Match when I first apply it. It is moisturizing, provides adequate coverage (and I have redness, acne, and scarring), looks very natural and comes in a lot of colors. The ingredients aren't that bad for acne prone skin either. The issue is that I'm oily within the hour, by the time I get home my face is unacceptably oily. It transfers easily, and it does break me out. It breaks me out not because of the ingredients, but the fact that it creates a slick film over my skin trapping all of the stuff my own oil traps that cause blocked pores, but exacerbating it because it's extra. I bet it'd be great for dryer to normal skinned people.

I was lured in by the promise of drugstore yellow toned foundations. The W2 was not that yellow at all to me, more pale peach. It looked chalky, pooled in pores, and didn't wear well throughout the day.
My biggest challenge with foundation has always been an accurate color match. I'm naturally very fair, and I began using Prescriptives in my teens. I wore the lightest shade of Y/O. However, Prescriptives would often discontinue the shades light enough to work for me and paying for "custom" matches was not always possible. I tried other brands, such as Shiseido. Again, I found that the lightest shades in the range would get discontinued with such frequency that I was unable to have a consistent match. At some point, the color ranges in the drugstore improved, and I began to wear this L'Oreal product because it was inexpensive, easy to find, and the lightest shade in the warm range was quite a close match for me. I have used other non-drugstore foundations from Nars, Stila, Clinique, and MFE and so on. Again, it is very, very hard for me to find a good color match, and often the lightest shade in a range will appear to be an ugly orange against my skin. The only exception was the Nars foundation I tried which seemed chalky and white. So, I've been loyal to the L'Oreal for years due to the sheer, yellowish color available in W1.
That said, I have my reservations. The color match is good and the product applies thinly. It is doing nothing, however, for my dry skin. Though I moisturize and use primer, this particular foundation will highlight any slight dryness or flakiness. (I apply in strong natural light with a magnifying mirror, so I suppose I'm quite critical of any texture issues.) So, I think maybe this foundation was better when I was a bit younger and my skin texture was very youthful rather than now when it is "maturing." For reference, I'm 38, and while I do not have wrinkles or crow's feet, I do have slightly enlarged pores on my upper cheeks combined with generally dry-ish/dehydrated skin that needs finely-texured products, thin sheer application, and careful blending/buffing to look its best. This foundation tends to dry quickly on my skin, before I can finish buffing it out to the perfect texture. I also feel that it does not last long, though that may be an artifact of my dry skin. If I care particularly how I look that day, the product will need to be washed off and re-applied after 4-6 hours.
Given all this, while I'll keep it around, I may go back to searching for a good color match in a higher-end foundation more suited for dry or maturing skin.

First of all, the colour range for this product is amazing, there really is a shade for everyone! I always buy two shades of every product for when I'm my natural pale skin tone, and for when I am tanned. I bought this product in the shades W1 and W4. I actually used this product a few years ago when it first came out and I was still at school, as it is drugstore and very affordable, I thought it was okay at the time, not incredible! I then recently started hearing amazing reviews about how amazing this foundation is, holy grail foundations for some! So I thought I would give it another go as it's not pricey so was worth a try. The consistency is very runny, this makes it very easy to blend which is great, however I find the coverage isn't too good as a result of this! I've heard many people say that it's very 'buildable' however I would disagree, one layer is enough, any more and it starts to look very cakey and patchy! I was a little underwhelmed by this foundation as I was expecting something pretty great to get all these reviews! I first used the Benefit Porefessional primer under this foundation, and it really did not work, it was clinging to my dry patches (I actually have quite oily skin). However, I didn't want to give up on it straight away, so I tried using a thicker moisturiser on my face and tried a different primer. I used the Smashbox Photo Finish primer, and the foundation went on a lot easier, and looked a lot smoother! It doesn't offer a lot of coverage, I think if you have any blemishes or under eye darkness, you definitely need to use a good concealer with this. This product doesn't last very long, I always set my foundation with a powder, however within an hour or so I found that my skin started looking very shiny and oily! After a few hours my face just looked patchy and shiny, no amount of blotting or powder could fix that! I wish I could have written a better review about this product as I had very high hopes for it! It's a good foundation, however you have to prep and prime your skin well for it to work, and it you're looking for a long wearing foundation, I don't think this is for you! I will not be buying this product again in hurry.

Ron Rezek designed the world's first contemporary-styled ceiling fan, the Stratos, in 1986. But his list of accomplishments in the design world is long and varied, from lifeguard equipment to contemporary lighting. In 1997, Ron started The Modern Fan Co. in Ashland, Oregon, which produces and sells only contemporary ceiling fans.
His ceiling fans have been widely used in hotels, restaurants, retail and institutional applications, and all types of residential projects.
Ron Rezek's Philosophy:
"I don't think contemporary means a stark white room. I think it means a tasteful alignment of important elements. There are some designers who copy the Modernists who have come before. But I think 'contemporary' is the pursuit of the new." "People assume that all contemporary fixtures are more functional than traditional ones. That is because contemporary fixtures are easier to clean and they seem to be more utilitarian based on their appearance. And because of their simplicity and lack of ornamentation, they also have an alliance with the industrial look. But all of this doesn't necessarily translate into function. The Modern Fan Co.'s fans are designed to be functional and energy efficient. This is part of being contemporary and pushing the edge. Energy efficiency is the wave of the future."

Turn and Face the Change…
Posted on | June 30, 2010 | 9 Comments
I don't do well with decisions.
Not at all. Especially not when the decisions affect not only me, but people I care about. And right now I am in the midst of a massive decision-making crisis.
I wish I could tell you all about it and get loads of feedback and weigh the pros and cons with you all.
But I can't.
Sadly, I have to make this decision all on my own. With the help of Husband.
And because of that, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around my blog right now. This is a decision that will be made shortly and I'm gonna continue to write if I can but if I seem distracted… or as BNL would say… "like my mind's somewhere else… that's because it's true."So prepare yourself for less honesty over the next week and more silliness.
But I'll be back. And it'll be awesome.
Also? Husband and I went to see Sting and the Royal Philharmonic last night at Chastain in Atlanta. I might totally have a very scary stalkerish reasonable crush on Sting. But I managed to contain myself by only telling Husband three (or twenty) times that I would totally leave him for Sting.

Former Hillcrest High School Business Professionals of America student Tramaine Weaver recently conducted a four-day career development seminar with the school's DECA and BPA programs.
Weaver is employed by Aunt Martha's Youth Service Center in its Workforce Investment Youth Services Program.
Weaver, accompanied by colleagues Genea Moore and Tom McConville, engaged the Hillcrest DECA and BPA students in workplace topics such as leadership, adaptability, communication, problem solving and taking initiative.
All students participated in mock interviews with the team from Aunt Martha's and were provided immediate feedback regarding their performance and how to accentuate their positive characteristics and skills.
The WIA also provides students with job opportunities by meeting initiative criteria.
"I've learned that in interviews I should always make eye contact, and sometimes I can look away from the person who is interviewing me," said DECA junior Miante Mance. "Also, I learned that I should always speak in perfect grammar when they ask me some of the questions."

Examples of CSS3 in the Wild
Seeing CSS3 on actual functioning websites is a lot like spotting a Himalayan Snow Leopard or a Giant Panda. Because roughly 53 percent of browsers in use don't support CSS3 (ahem, IE, ahem), most web designers just don't use it on a regular basis. At least they don't use it on sites they design for work. As such, most people don't see it regularly, and if they do, it's just a fleeting glimpse.

Researchers from MIT have uncovered a new class of small, noncoding RNAs in worms. "This discovery further emphasizes the point that we have not completely reached the depths of RNA function, and we are excited to see how this develops," comments Michael Egholm, Ph.D., vp, molecular biology, 454 Life Sciences.
Using 454 Life Sciences' parallel sequencing technology, David Bartel, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator at MIT, and colleagues sequenced some 400,000 small RNAs from Caenorhabditis elegans, identifying 18 new microRNA genes and more than 5,000 other RNAs of a type that had not been previously reported.
The study, entitled, "Large-scale sequencing reveals 21U-RNAs and additional microRNAs and endogenous siRNAs in C. elegans" appeared in the December 15 issue of the journal Cell.

PAROLIN-DIPLOMACY Sep-9-2013 (710 words) With photos posted Aug. 31 and Sept. 5. xxxi
Vatican's new top diplomat ready to ramp up network for peace
Archbishop Parolin during an interview last week. (CNS/Reuters)
By Carol Glatz
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- A veteran diplomat, the Vatican's new secretary of state, plans to put the church's vast global diplomatic network into high gear as champions for peace.
Archbishop Pietro Parolin said Pope Francis has already injected a new impetus into the Vatican's Secretariat of State structure and given a new push for church-led diplomacy.
The archbishop, who is currently the papal nuncio to Venezuela, will start his new role Oct. 15.
In a Sept. 6 interview with the Venezuelan Catholic newspaper, Diario Catolico, Archbishop Parolin said, "The pope's initiatives have given the secretary of state an impetus and have also created a new diplomatic momentum."
When asked if he would be spearheading a new diplomatic offensive for peace, he noted that it was a complicated question but said, "Yes, I hope that we can recoup" that drive.
"We have this great advantage in respect to other churches, to other religions: We can count on an international institutional presence through diplomacy," he said.
Archbishop Parolin said the Vatican has to take advantage of its vast network of papal nuncios around the world and all the contacts it has with international organizations.
"They are precious instruments that can be used to help the world," he said.
He emphasized, however, that the Vatican's efforts are not always publicized, but often happen quietly behind the scenes.
"I wouldn't like a diplomacy that is on the front pages, but a diplomacy that is more effective," he said.
"We are not looking for, I believe, popularity. In all honesty, none of us wants it without an effect" that is positive.
The archbishop said the whole reason for the existence of the Vatican's diplomatic organization "is the quest for peace."
"If the Holy See's diplomatic efforts have had such importance and so much consensus around the world, now and in the past, it's due to the fact that it goes above and beyond national interests" and pushes for "a vision of the well-being of all humanity," he said.
Archbishop Parolin, who has nearly 30 years' diplomatic experience, said today's geopolitical landscape has gone from a world in which nations were clearly aligned into a few cohesive "blocs" to a world of widely divergent powers, some of which have no real national identity.
Instead of an era of greater unity and cohesiveness after the fall of the Berlin Wall, "the whole problem of terrorism was unleashed," he said.
Now the new "wall to knock down is understanding how to bring all these different powers to an agreement and work together for the well-being of everyone," he said, where differences are turned into a source of collaboration, not division.
He said the role of the Vatican's secretary of state is to be a focal point of objectivity and universal values in a sea of relativistic self-interests.
Because the world is so much more complex, he said the secretary of state's role "must be to re-invent" the never-changing and universal goal of peace and human rights in varying and widely diverse contexts. "One must step away from of this plague of relativism" and harmonize differences in a new way, he said.
"If there is no objective truth in which we all recognize ourselves it will be much more difficult to find things in common," he said.
"This common ground is the dignity of the human person in all his dimensions," including the transcendent, the spiritual, social and political, and that all people are created in the likeness and image of God.
Nowhere is this more important right now than in the Middle East, he said in a Sept 6 interview with his hometown Catholic newspaper, "La Voce dei Berici."
"The stability of the world is at stake, (as well as) the present and future coexistence of various religions and major ethnic groups," he said. "Either we head toward a world where we will know how to integrate our differences and turn them into an opportunity for growth or we will head toward total war."
"It's not true that the world belongs to the violent, the world is, for the most part, built by good people, and we need to give them a voice" so that dialogue, peace and harmony can reign, he said.

California State Assemblyman Katcho Achadjian honored Cheryl Bedford Thursday as the 2013 Woman of the Year for the 35th Assembly District.
Bedford was recognized for her professional success and many charitable endeavors. She has owned the Sunset Auto Center in Lompoc since 1983. Bedford has also served as the President of the Central Coast Chevrolet Dealers Association and four terms on the Board of Directors for the California Motor Car Dealers Association. Locally, Cheryl has served two terms on the Board of the Lompoc Valley Chamber of Commerce and as a member of the Lompoc Valley Redevelopment Corporation.
"In the Lompoc Valley the Bedford name is synonymous with giving and Cheryl has been the driving force behind those efforts. Residents of the Lompoc Valley are fortunate to have such compassionate and giving people living in their community," said Achadjian.
Throughout the years, Bedford has donated her time and several cars to raise money for charities, including the Lompoc and Cabrillo High Schools' athletic programs, local FFA programs and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The annual event is held during Women's History Month. Members of the State Assembly choose an outstanding woman to honor. The tradition started back in 1987.
