More reviews by lipstickinpink
There was a pink bin of these at Priceline marked down from $14 to $6!!!
I had to grab a few! I just felt like having something fun on my nails and i'm hopeless at nail art.
I put on "Sweet Marble floret" wow! i love this pattern! I did apply i topcoat, just to ensure it'd last a little longer.. it's so easy to apply and takes 5 mins for both hands. Perfect if you've got an event later on.
If there's more on special i'll buy more! but at $14 each.. i might have to look online, or just a cheaper brand.

These are so great. I've been trying to save money by doing my own pedicures, and while I'm able to do everything else by myself, I can't ever seem to paint my own toenails without messing them up before the polish has dried. This design is super cute - the pattern is fun and also helps to disguise those few spots where I got a wrinkle in the strip, and they stick well and set immediately. I have also used these in Sweet Tart-an, and was pleased with them, but the strips seemed a little thinner/lighter than Kitty, Kitty and curled a lot while I was trying to apply them. The Kitty, Kitty strips didn't curls as much during application.
I also used the leftover strips to give myself a matching accent nail on my hands - I was concerned that they wouldn't stay on because I have fake nails (pink and white gels), but it's been three days and there are no signs of lifting or loosening. I alternate with Salon Effects and the Kiss Nail Dress stickers, and while the Kiss stickers are great for toes (and slightly cheaper), they tend to lift on my fingernails.
Totally thrilled, I already have two other patterns to try next!
I absolutely love the strips! I can never polish my nails right. These strips are just amazing! Love it!
Okay... I really like these. I am a total klutz and I can't paint my nails to save my life. I used to just go to the salon but i really dont have time like that anymore. I picked these strips from the clearance section at target cause the kitty kitty pattern was just too cute. The technique took a couple tries to get used to but after that it was kinda easy to do, just time consuming. I swiped each nail w/acetone remover to prep and after centering the sticker i used the buffer side of the file to push all the edges down and underneath each nail. After the strips set for a few min, I topped with sally Hansen mega shine topcoat. I used one pkg on my first try (cut the strips in half) so now i have enough for another leopard mani or maybe i'll do my toes to match. Day 2 no chips or wear, just compliments on my cute nails :) AND I did it myself, in my PJs, in peace and quiet after my kids went to bed. Will update if removal process is worth mentioning lol.

I have tried maybe 10-12 different brands and patterns/colors of nail strips. These Sally Hansen Kitty Kitty strips were probably the trickiest to apply. The texture of the Sally Hansen strips varies depending on pattern, and some seem to be less sticky (and more brittle/dry) than others. I had trouble getting the clear plastic layer off of these and it was pulling off pieces of nail polish on some nails, causing me to have to redo the entire nail. I am a perfectionist and will take my time to get things just right, so when all was said and done, it took me almost an hour and a half to get these strips on my nails!!
That being said, I think the end result was worth it. The colors on these are neutral enough and blend into my skin tone enough that from a distance, these almost just look like bronze polish. My nails are short and squoval, so they do not look as tacky as I was afraid they'd look. So far, they've been on for 4 days and there's been no lifting or peeling or wearing off. The way they're holding up reminds me of the Girl Flower strips (which lasted over 2 weeks), however Girl Flower was MUCH easier to apply. I deducted one lippie for issues I had with the strips tearing and not adhering easily, which made them so hard to apply. Maybe I just got a bad box, though?
I'm not sure if I'm reviewing the right product....my review is intended for the press on nail stickers...they are AWESOME! I got the leopard print pattern ( I think it was called Kitty) and my mom helped me put them on. They were not very time consuming or tricky, I could have even done them by myself! I hope I never have to though...Anyway, easier than polish.
This product is very fun. It's pretty easy to apply, you get a generous amount of 'tape' to work with and the applicaton lasted a long time. I got a lot of compliments and interest when I wore this. I also have the one called "Cutout" (I believe). I uploaded a pix.
These things are indeed awesome, they wear really well but unfortunately they are so expensive! Only down side is price, so will try find them cheaper online. Farmers sell them for $19.95nzd... argh! I put a top coat on to make them last longer too. Lots of comments on my nails with these on!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love these things! They wear really well. I make sure to seal the edge of these after I apply them, with a acetone. I just dip a small brush in acetone and then run it around all the edges of the sticker. Don't over do it, because it can melt them, since they are made of polish. Also I apply a slow drying top coat on top of these to make them extra shinny and extend the wear. I prefer Nail Tek Intensive Therapy.

Translate this page Bonsall High School officially formedNew high school will be on same site as SullivanThursday, March 27th, 2014 Issue 13, Volume 18.
"Its one of the bureaucratic things we had to do," said BUSD superintendent Justin Cunningham. Initially Bonsall High School will be located on the same West Lilac Road site as Norman L. Sullivan Middle School, although the high school will have a separate entrance along with separate facilities and administration. The high schools first day of class will be August 25, Advertisement Both the new Bonsall High School and Sullivan Middle School will utilize the New Technology Network model in which students interact with local industry and serve internships in order to develop a network in their desired career fields. The New Tech curriculum also utilizes interdisciplinary fields. "This high school will be all about project-based learning," Cunningham said. The action did not create a nickname for the high school. The initial Bonsall High School students will have the input in the new schools mascot and colors. "Our students will be able to say: Well, I started a high school. I was part of starting a brand new high school," Cunningham said. 22 comments
where will the 6-8 grade students go to instead of going to the Sullivan Campus?
I didn`t know Bonsall had that many students to warrant building a high school. Geez you could blink and drive past downtown Bonsall alltogether. Oh well more tax dollars spent and bond measures issued. $$$
If you dont live in town anymore why are you worried about what goes on ??
Since you have nothing better to do than to always comment and can't "let Fallbrook go", just come back to the "friendly barrio" you love/hate and comment so much about. "We the Mexicans/Illegal Aliens" welcome you with open arms :^)
What a waste of tax dollars for the new BHS. The money could of gone to much better use. I welcome Rays comments. You don't have to live in a place to be connected to it.
I've been in town almost 50 years and I welcome Rays comments. I agree with most of them too! It is better than the comments that I have been reading from Lee or DrDr, The last few weeks.
For those paying attention this has been in the works for 3 years now. A PDF brochure to help those along that comment after the fact. Your Welcome http://www.bonsallusd.com/apps/news/show_news.jsp?REC_ID=353484&id=0 Comment Continued : The comment above was written from the same location.
I can not wait to see what the traffic on West Lilac in front of the school and Hwy 395 will be like once that takes place. Already at a dead stop for 30 minutes as it stands. Curious if anyone knows if that has been addressed? Both Bonsall Elementary and Sullivan are fine schools but the parking and traffic around both was so poorly engineered!
Yes, can't wait
Anything that take pressure off Fallbrook high is a good idea
To Ray. Most of the voters here in Bonsall share your racial hatreds. Why do you think they all voted to form this new white school district? Does it make sense to you now?
this school is not only for white kids it's a campus welcoming any race you are !
Come on # 11 and 12. Its all about race. You want less Mexicans , Indians and more white middle class. Nothing wrong with that. Just be honest about it. The political correctness is wrong and speaking the truth is correct. No fears just honesty!
This school was implemented for a few parents, not the majority. The impact will be felt at the elementary schools. They will absorb the 6-8th graders on already crowed campuses! The staff is overwhelmed now, but administrators don't see it.
So right. The only reason Bonsall has it's own unified school district now is because of the racial fears of so many of the people who live here. Nobody wanted to keep sending their kids to Fallbrook HS with its growing numbers of latinos. If Fallbrook had been a majority white there never would have been a move to split the HS district into two.
All the junior high schools in the surrounding area - Pala, Vallecitos, Bonsall, Potter, dumped into the Fallbrook High School-it's been overcrowded for 15 yrs. Bonsall HS was on the ballet for years and never passed...now all 5 huge, nice, housing communities coming, permit fees and property taxes will go to Bonsall. Good timing on their part, I'd say!!!
Folks..... use your eyes' Bonsall and Fallbrook is hardly white. All those kids go to privateschools, what is left is a disaster. Just because I tell the truth, I get names appled. Democrats. Comment Continued : The comment above was written from the same location.
From Bonsall: Maybe they understand who and what the problems are and they are tired of paying for it. I could tell the truths all day, but you will never listen and I risk some good points in a shoot from the hip response would be censored or not prinrted alltogether. I know what the problems are, others are now figuring it out. Remember... no matter what you spend or do, you can never fix stupid and some just want to remain stupid. Library cards are still free......... right?
I really hope that the promises made to this community during the election campaign to establish a Bonsall unified school district are indeed kept (ie-that if passed Proposition BB would not necessitate additional taxes). Regarding comment #16 who writes that Fallbrook High School has been overcrowded for 15 years, I don't believe this to be the case. I've read several times reported in this very newspaper articles indicating that the high school's enrollment has been in general decline for some years now. In a letter to the editor of this publication dated October 18th, 2012, a Mr. Dale Mitchel states that: "Fallbrook High School is not overcrowded. Enrollment peaked near 3,000 students six years ago. Current enrollment is slightly above 2,500 students. There are currently seven unused classrooms on the campus and not all classrooms are used every period. The State of California says the capacity of the school is over 4,000 students." While I do not know Mr. Mitchel nor can I verify the veracity of his data, it does however correspond to my general understanding of the actual situation that the Fallbrook campus is not overcrowded but in fact possibly even underutilized. http://www.thevillagenews.com/story/66881/ http://www.thevillagenews.com/story/67040/
If you know anything about Fallbrook HS, you know that it's simply terrible academically. Very low scores compared to many schools in the north county. Who can blame some locals for wanting a more progressive, better school. Nothing to do with race...all to do with better learning run by likely superior administrators.
JD: You can say that about every public school, Fallbrook`s is no exception. Public schools should be run like military schools..... problem solved.
No..you cannot say that about every school. Some schools are better than others, as shown by testing. Fallbrook HS is sadly far below many others. Better administration can improve this.

Paul Greengrass Not Taking James Cameron's 'Fantastic Voyage'
May 23, 2010 by Faisal Hashmi
Filed under News
When we first heard about the upcoming 3-D remake of 'Fantastic Voyage' being produced by James Cameron at Fox, it got us excited. Then came the news that director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Ultimatum, United 93) had been tapped for the project which was even greater news. Well, one of those isn't happening anymore.

Paul Greengrass Heading For James Cameron's 'Fantastic Voyage'

Paul Greengrass is a great director that brings gritty realism to his work. After directing the latter two Bourne movies, he bid farewell to the series and made Matt Damon starrer 'Green Zone' instead (in theaters now). But that movie bombed, and now he has a surprising new project lined up. Greengrass is in talks [...]

Hawaii Five-0 producer's apology to Pearl Harbor vets insincere, says host
Hawaii Five-0's executive producer has apologized to members of Denver's The Greatest Generations Foundation, whose members were "unintentionally offended" when a ceremony on the seventieth anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor coincided with filming. But the event's host, KOA's Steffan Tubbs, calls the apology insincere and shares e-mails with the producer, plus photos, to show why he reached that conclusion.Big pics below.
Tubbs, who's also a board member of The Greatest Generations Foundation, traveled to Hawaii with a group of 24 veterans, 23 of whom were on Oahu on December 7, 1941 -- a day that Franklin D. Roosevelt correctly predicted would live in infamy. He believes it will be the last such journey due simply to the march of time. "The average age of our 24 veterans was 91, and the oldest was 96 -- he was midship on the Arizona when it was bombed and was thrown fifty feet into Pearl Harbor," he says. "Everyone was saying their goodbyes. So this event took us full circle."
The veterans arrived in Hawaii on December 3, and over the days leading up to the anniversary, they enjoyed a full slate of programs, including one at the Arizona memorial, leading up to the final event -- a ceremony at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, also Punchbowl National Cemetery, on the 7th.Photo by Steffan Tubbs A crew member tried to prevent Tubbs from taking this photo of Terry O'Quinn walking along the gravesite.
By coincidence, Hawaii Five-0 was filming at the cemetery at the same time, in a spot that Tubbs estimates at more than 200 yards away; among the cast members on hand was Terry O'Quinn, a series regular best known for his work on the series Lost. Tubbs tried to snap a photo of O'Quinn as he casually strolled across the gravesite, but a crew member attempted to block off the shot -- an action that he sees as symbolic of everything that followed.Steffan Tubbs.
According to Tubbs, who emceed the ceremony for around fifty participants, many of the crew members failed to "stop or show their respects" during the National Anthem, the presentation of colors or the playing of "Taps" to conclude the approximately two-hour event. But in his view, the most offensive incident involved a part of the program near the end in which each veteran laid a rose on the marker of an unknown individual killed at Pearl Harbor.
"No one prevented us from laying the roses," he acknowledges. "But they had a guy with a backpack and an earpiece -- he was definitely with the production -- walking back and forth, talking, laughing and rushing the veterans. It's like when you go shopping with your wife and she's in the clothing section and you want her to hurry up, so you're pacing back and forth. That's what he was doing. And he told one of our staff members, 'Can you keep them quiet? We're rolling.'Courtesy of The Greatest Generations Foundation A veteran leaves a rose at the grave marker of an unknown victim of the Pearl Harbor attack.
"Ten of our 24 veterans were in wheelchairs," he adds. "Some of these guys can barely get out of them. They'd stand up and hobble over to the marker -- and here's some jackass walking back and forth, trying to hurry them along. It's the kind of thing you wouldn't believe could happen, especially on that day. But it did."

Now we don't know what Heaven looks like,
But we've seen enough Hell... right here and right now
But when the road is the roughest,
And the problems are the toughest,
Or when the times are the hardest and that ol' sky turns the darkest,
You gotta keep the faith,
'Cause I believe there's a better day,
And those ol' blues, why there gonna just roll right on away,
I know they are, listen to me.
All this blue, ain't sky and sea,
Some of this blue's bound to get on me,
But the blues, don't come to stay,
They'll move away
On a better day.
Troubles and woes and misery,
Ain't gonna get the best of me,
Lift the shades, fix my gaze,
On a better day
Clear the way
Better days, just up ahead
When sorrow ain't sleepin' in my bed,
When people ain't messin' with my head,
There's a better way,
There's a brighter day,
Oohh there's a better day
With clearer skies
Hope and promise on the rise
Oh the future that is looking bright
On a better day look away, look away
ohh ohh woahh ohh hmmm mmm hmmm
There's a better day
Oh better days, just up ahead
When sorrow ain't sleepin' in my bed,
And people ain't a messin' with my head,
There's a better day,
There's a better day
All of this blue, it ain't sky and sea
some of that blue's gonna to fall on me.
Oh the future's looking bright
There's a better day, look away, look away
Mmmhmmm mmm

Chris Christie set the conservative world on fire, for one simple reason; he was able to express our passion to independents coming across live and on the television screen as simply having sincere compassion for our country's current fiscal health versus the media's favorite spin of conservatives being angry, frustrated or upset because our current president is black.

The Demise of Keith OlbermannKeith Olbermann is no longer with Current TV, and he can add this network to his resume of networks that sent him packing. The question that remains is how does a bright individual who had the looks, the voice, and even a sense of humor, everything needed for success, be near the end of his career? For those who may not remember, Olbermann teamed with Dan Patrick to make up a potent duo as ESPN leading broadcasters. Posted under:

These screwdriver sets have to be one of the best values in the Sears tool department. They are a great value especially when they are on sale. These are a comfortable size to work with and they make a great part of a tool set of any size. I have used Craftsman screwdrivers for over 30 years and have had only one to break. Sears replaced it without a hassle.

The 5 pc. Phillips Screwdriver Set completed my missing set of screwdrivers. I replaced them with this set because of the excellent warranty from Sears. I had one screwdriver break and had no problems getting it swapped out.

Enshrouded In Fog; Tips On Capturing That Soft And Subtle Light
One of my favorite times to shoot landscapes is when a thick fog has descended on the land and engulfed everything in sight. It is a magical thing to experience, and for fine art nature photographers it doesn't get any better. We all love to shoot scenes with brilliant, saturated colors and crystal clear air typical of well-known national parks like Bryce Canyon and Monument Valley. At the other end of the wow spectrum, though, are soft and subtle colors that are artistically muted and air that is so saturated with fine water particles that it has practically turned white.
With some notable exceptions, fog is largely a morning phenomenon. As soon
as the sun rises high enough in the sky and warms the air, the fog burns off
and the magic is suddenly gone. This usually happens quickly, so when I'm
shooting early morning fog I try to get in as many shots as possible in the
short time I have. Sometimes fog lingers, but there's no guarantee. I
learned a long time ago that when a beautiful moment occurs in outdoor photography
it probably won't happen again.
The challenge when shooting in fog is the exposure. All light meters, whether
they are handheld or built into your camera, are designed to provide accurate
exposures for middle-toned, or medium gray subjects. For example, when you take
a picture of horses in a green pasture with a blue sky background, the meter
performs flawlessly. It recognizes this middle-toned scene and gives you completely
reliable exposure data every time.
The problems start when you photograph something that is not middle toned,
like fog. Your meter can only respond to its programming and it assumes you
are shooting another middle-toned situation. When fog is rendered middle gray
the photo is underexposed because, as we all know, fog is much lighter than
middle gray.
You can do one of three things to solve this problem:
You can use a handheld incident light meter. This type of meter reads the light
falling onto the scene, rather than the light being reflected from it. Incident
meters are extremely accurate in lighting conditions like fog. They will give
you what you see as long as the meter is held in the same light as your subject.
For instance, you wouldn't take a light reading while standing in the
shadow of a large tree if you were shooting a subject in the open.
You can take a light reading from a middle-toned subject if one is present.
A gray rock or tree bark could be used if they are the right tone. The color
of the subject isn't important; it's the tonality. For situations
where the fog is very thick and the trees, flowers, bodies of water, and rocks
(or any other subject) are lighter than middle gray, I suggest you use a Kodak
gray card. If this is held in the same light as the scene being photographed,
the exposure will be correct. An alternative to carrying a gray card is to go
to a fabric store and buy a small piece of material that matches the card. Sew
this onto your photo backpack or your camera vest, and now you will always carry
middle gray with you.
The procedure for making the shot is you take a light reading on the gray fabric,
lock that exposure in place with AE Lock, recompose, and then shoot.
Memory foam had its origins in the NASA space Program. This means it provides far better support than other types of mattress and is extremely good at relieving pressure points, while still supporting areas like the lower back. read more But beware when buying as many companies boast a 5 lb memory foam but do not state this only makes up the first inch of the mattress. Natural latex is a fairly firm rubbery foam.
These pictures are amazing!I am working to the Fleurs amour store and we are having some great flowers there.I like to take pictures with flowers and I already have a beautiful album.

Company Increases Throughput and Time-to-Market with Robotic Assembly System
by Val Cureton
Adept Technology, Inc.
About two years ago, Murr Elektronik found itself facing a growing demand for its electronic products. The company needed to increase throughput and time-to-market, but it was already having trouble controlling manufacturing expenses. Companyexecutives needed a way to control manufacturing costs without relocating their facilities to areas with lower labor costs and without layoffs.
Murr chose to install a robot-based workcell to replace the workers assigned to the manual assembly station freeing employees to be trained for more advanced tasks. The workcell is built around Adept's 550 SCARA robot, MV Controller, AdeptVision VME vision system and V+ software. In addition, the system incorporates a bowl feeder that feeds components to the robot's gripper, which can pick up three components at a time and place them on a printed circuit board in the correct configuration.
The vision system is part of what makes Murr's application possible. Its automated inspection, measurement and motion guidance features enable the robot to "see" each component in order to pick it up and position it accurately on the printed circuit board. The system software is programmed to automatically calibrate the vision system, which was important to Murr from an ease-of-use standpoint.

South African born singer/songwriter Laura Reed has been making a name for herself globally with her soulful vocals, vulnerable songwriting, and electric live performances. Laura is known for her genuine ability to take the struggles and heart- ache we all share, and crafting them into catchy and positive anthems. Laura is currently based in Nashville, where she recently signed a publishing deal with SONY/EMI and is working on the release of new music and playing shows, most recently sharing the stage with India.Arie, Miguel, and Anthony Hamilton.
Laura was encouraged to make the move to Nashville by mentor, former music executive and Grammy award winning producer, Paul Worley. It was Paul who introduced Laura to the producer and co-writer of her project, 2X Grammy award winner SHANNON SANDERS (India.Arie, John Legend, Pink).
"I don't really have words to express how much I love Laura's music," says Worley. "It's real, it's authentic, it's what the world needs."
"Laura has a rare combination if gifts- musical and spiritual," states Sanders. " She reminds me that real music and real people still exist".
Laura's musical journey has taken her all over the world, building a loyal fan base and influencing her style and music. This touring experience and commitment to her craft has developed a sound that is purely her own and a confidence that commands the stage.

Happy crocheting!
Hi! I just want to say I love your work!
I am just a beginner so I decided to try one of your free patterns first but I am stuck! I am making the Baby Moccasins and on the second page for the second row it says "2hdc with on top" I have no idea what this is. Can you help me out?
Thanks so much for these patterns :)
it means 2 half double crochet
Nvm I see where it explains it in the pattern.. not sure how I missed it.
Thanks again :)
Some of the prettiest baby booties I,have ever seen.
Very cute, thank you for sharing :)
Working on the Baby Moccasins pattern and got through the Sole and first part of Upper portion (after fastening off). I'm not exactly sure where "work in centremost 7 st" is even though the pattern states it's exactly between two "2 hdc with one top." Would love your feedback! :) Thank you.
I leave a comment when I like a article on a website or if I have something to valuable to contribute to
the discussion. Usually it's a result of the passion displayed in the article I read.
And on this article Free patterns � Mon Petit Violon.
I was actually excited enough to drop a leave a responsea
response ;-) I do have a couple of questions for you if you usually do not
mind. Is it only me or does it appear like a few of the remarks appear like left by brain
dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting on additional online sites, I would like to follow
you. Would you make a list every one of your public sites like
your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
Thank you for the lovely mocassin pattern. I have done the sole, coming to the upper body of the mocassin and got stuck there. I did the Hdc for row 1, and wonder if I have miscalculated the stitch count, with the 2 slip stitches, the stitch count would be more than the "7 centre most stitches". I countinued to work on row 2-4, and the 2 corners of the 7 centre most stitches stick up, it's not as smooth as shown in your photo. Please help. Thank you :D
I am not able to find the pattern for Baby Mocassins, it says there is a free pattern but I can't seem to find it.

Judge to decide whether to extend temporary ban on jet-fuelers strike
A federal judge will hear arguments on whether to extend a temporary order prohibiting a strike by aircraft refuelers at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport against ASIG, Aircraft Services International Group.
Seattle Times staff reporter
A federal judge will hear arguments Tuesday on whether to extend a temporary order prohibiting a suspended aircraft fueler and his supporters from instigating a strike at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Aircraft Service International Group, ASIG, obtained a temporary restraining order late Friday forbidding Working Washington, Teamsters Local 117 and fueler Alex Popescu from encouraging a strike or other disruption of aircraft fueling.
U.S. District Court Judge James Robart signed the order after ASIG claimed fuelers' threat to strike was part of an attempt to unionize them and boost their pay, in contrast to fuelers' stated goals of improved safety and reinstatement of Popescu, who workers said was suspended for reporting safety hazards.
ASIG Senior Vice President Tim Ramsey said in a statement the threat of a strike "was organized by outside labor organizations with ulterior motives."
A strike over economic issues by nonunion workers would violate the Railway Labor Act and disrupt commercial-aircraft operations on a massive scale beyond Sea-Tac Airport, the company said in its legal complaint.
ASIG fuels 75 percent of flights at Sea-Tac, including planes operated by Alaska, United/Continental, Southwest and American airlines.
The company also suggested that Popescu was suspended last month for insolent behavior, not for complaining about safety problems.
ASIG's general manager for Sea-Tac, Jeffrey Stevenson, said in a declaration that he suspended Popescu pending investigation of reports that he "was out of control and had screamed obscenities at a supervisor" on two occasions. Later, while being interviewed by a human-resources manager, Popescu yelled obscenities and threw his chair across the room, Stevenson wrote.
Popescu declined Monday to say whether those claims were accurate. "That's still an ongoing investigation, and I'm not willing to speak on that," he said.
Popescu and other fuelers have complained of trucks with bad brakes and other mechanical problems, unsafe fuel nozzles, broken ladders and the expectation they will launder their fuel-soaked clothes at home.
The Federal Aviation Administration inspected ASIG fueling operations and equipment Friday, and reported finding no safety problems.
Working Washington, the labor coalition which organized a demonstration in support of fuelers last week, said the FAA inspectors failed to find problems because they didn't ask fuelers which equipment was defective.
Jonathan Rosenblum, campaign director for Working Washington, said the ASIG lawsuit "shows how desperate the company is. ... Rather than respond to the concerns that workers have complained about — safety on the job — and rather than return a whistle-blower to his rightful place on the schedule, the company is trying to hide behind a lawsuit."
Rosenblum said federal law gives workers the right, whether represented by a union or not, to strike over health and safety issues and retaliation against an employee. Working Washington is supported by Service Employees International Union.
ASIG said Working Washington and Teamsters employees were harassing fuelers in its parking lot last month. Teamsters Local 117 organizing director Leonard Smith declined to discuss the lawsuit other than to say his local is not organizing the fuelers.

John Piper has served readers well with the reminder that worship, not missions, should be their focus with regard to spiritual priorities.
He writes, Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever (11).
In this thoroughly biblical treatment of missions, John Piper really focuses on the kinds of spiritual priorities that have always marked great redemptive movements of God in history.
This reviewer was particularly impressed by Piper's willingness to saturate the book with Scripture. For instance, he surveys all that the Bible says about God's glory (17-22). Then, he surveys the various biblical appeals in prayer (57-62). Next, without flinching he surveys what the Scripture says about hell and how that relates to the preaching of Christ (120-26). He then surveys the phrase "all the nations" in the NT (177-81). He concludes with a good discussion of the great commission as rendered in Matt 28:18-20 (203-18).
Tom Stellar, who serves as pastor for missions at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, the church pastored by John Piper, provides an excellent Afterword. In this addendum, Stellar addresses the crucial issue of "the supremacy of God in going and in sending." This by itself could be the subject of an entire volume.
The author did not intend to make this an unabridged treatment on missions. He rather chose to focus on the primary issues behind missions, which are glorifying and exalting God. The reviewer highly commends this book to any pastor who desires to raise the level of missions in his church, to any Christian who is considering missions as a ministry vocation, and to every missions executive who wants to refocus the vision of his ministry to make it God-centered.

'Fast & Furious 6' best yet in the franchise
By Richard Roeper Sun-Times firstname.lastname@example.com Twitter: @richardroeper May 23, 2013 2:42AM
Dominic Toretto | Vin Diesel
Luke Hobbs | Dwayne Johnson
Brian O'Conner | Paul Walker
Letty Ortiz | Michelle Rodriguez
Mia Toretto | Jordana Brewster

Riley | Gina Carano
Roman | Tyrese Gibson
Universal Pictures presents a film directed by Justin Lin. Written by Chris Morgan, based on characters created by Gary Scott Thompson. Running time: 2 hours and 10 minutes. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action and mayhem throughout, some sexuality and language. Opening May 24 at local theaters.
Updated: June 25, 2013 6:13AM
How ridiculously awesome are the stunts in "Fast & Furious 6"?
Put it this way: If the customized racing machines in this movie actually started talking to one another, a la Lightning McQueen and Mater in the "Cars" franchise, it would be only the third or fourth most outlandish trick they pulled off.
These cars not only defy gravity; they take on — well, I don't want to give it away. But it's craaaaaazy.
Against all odds, the billion-dollar "Fast & Furious" franchise is actually picking up momentum, with "FF6" clocking in as the fastest, funniest and most outlandish chapter yet.
Whether we're seeing stunt work or special effects or a combo platter, director Justin Lin keeps raising the bar, going for intentional laughs and WTF moments as cars pull off impossible maneuvers and humans keep flying in the air and landing with thuds that would indicate death or crippling injuries, only to dust themselves off and appear in the next scene with artfully placed facial bruises.
"Ride or die" is the oft-repeated mantra of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker). Of course, it's the way they ride that keeps putting them at death's doorstep.
Dom and Brian started this series on opposite sides of the law, but Brian's cop days are long gone. He's married to Dom's sister Mia (Jordana Brewster), and they've just welcomed a son. Dom, Brian and the other members of the crew have scattered, living off the grid in cushy retirement.
Nothing could lure them back into the old and dangerous ways. Nothing!
Well. As we learned in the epilogue of "Fast Five" (REVERSE SPOILER ALERT!), Dominic's wife, Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez), long thought to be dead, is in fact undead. Hold on, that would make her a zombie. She's alive is what we mean to say.
Sporting T-shirts that look like they'd be too tight on Zoe Saldana and strutting with such peacockery we half-expect him to step back into the ring, Dwayne Johnson is back as Luke Hobbs, the CIA operative from "Fast Five." Hobbs tracks down Dom, plunks down a file containing photos of a very much alive Letty and offers a deal: If Dom and his crew help Hobbs capture a terrorist who's on the verge of turning the world upside down, Hobbs will deliver Letty to Dom "so you can make your family whole." Dom responds that if Hobbs throws in full pardons for everyone, it's a deal.
Gentlemen (and ladies), start your engines. It takes only a series of phone calls to reunite the key members of the team including Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges), Han (Sung Kang) and Gisele (Gal Gadot). Also joining the squad is another CIA agent: Riley (Gina Carano).
Carano is BIG fun to watch. The former mixed martial arts sensation and star of Steven Soderbergh's "Haywire" is still a bit stilted with her line readings, but her two fight scenes with Rodriguez in "FF6" are just epic.
Though dropping in on numerous international locales (as well as Southern California), "Fast & Furious 6" is set primarily in London, and while the chase scenes might defy real-world geography, Lin makes great use of all his locations.
Luke Evans is just OK as super-villain Owen Shaw, the obligatory special ops legend turned ruthless supervillain. Diesel and Walker remain adept at looking good and delivering adequate line readings, each falling short when the screenplay requires any serious emotional lifting. It's left to Gibson and Bridges to provide the comedic relief.
We come to the "Fast & Furious" movies for the action, not the acting, but as this film's opening credits reintroduce us to the franchise, I realized I'd come to enjoy the main characters as they careen between death-defying stunts and hokey barbecue scenes where they keep talking about the importance of family.
"FF6" couldn't be any less plausible if it were animated, but that's sort of the point. We have all these great-looking people and their awesome cars, and they actually believe if you drive fast enough, and you love your brothers-in-cars more than the bad guys love doing bad guy stuff, you can finish first.
This is a movie that knows exactly what it wants to be and is almost always successful fulfilling that mission.
EPILOGUE SPOILER ALERT: For reasons beyond me, the "Fast & Furious" franchise is not chronological. The third entry, "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift," actually takes place after the fourth, fifth and sixth films — and the terrifically entertaining teaser for "Fast & Furious 7" indicates THAT film will take place after "Tokyo Drift." I think.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

I'm so frustrated ! For weeks I have researched various countertop microwaves online, checking the reviews, reading the pros and cons and finally narrowed my search down to 2.
Both the Sharp R 530 EK (2.0 cf, 1200 watts, $180) and the Panasonic NNH 765 BF (1.6 cf, 1,250, $170) had really great reviews. The problem ~ there is not one store in or around the Louisville area (Home Depot, Lowes, KMart, Walmart, various appliance stores) that carries either of these models ! Even if on a HD or Lowes website, if it's not also in the store, I'm on my own. Reviews of the in-store models prove to be less than desirable. Both of these models are available online (Amazon, I think) and I wondered how you all felt about ordering an appliance online. Certainly don't like the thought of my purchase being damaged during shipping, but I'm running out of options. Does any one have feedback about either of these models or the 'online appliance ordering' experience. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Amazon is really reliable and great about returns - I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them. |
I have nothing on the models, but I would have no hesitation about ordering a microwave online - I got my current one that way. As Weissman says Amazon is pretty good about returns. |

I bought my MW drawer, warming drawer, and built-in fridge online. I saved a bundle. The WD box looked banged round and was ripped open a bit. I refused service and called the eBay seller. He sent a new one out the next day. |
We ended up buying a Panasonic MW from Amazon because not a single local store carried the model we wanted. So far it has been fine. |
- Posted by gardeningannie (My Page) on Sun, Oct 21, 12 at 9:10
Very encouraging information ~ thanks to all. |
Bought mine online and had no problems |
Bought a Panasonic from Amazon a few weeks ago. I knew they have a good return policy if there is a problem but everything arrived just fine. |

Last month I ordered a GE Spacemaker microwave online. I did go to my local appliance stores and the big boxes but as the salesman explained to me - they don't make much money on a microwave so most stores don't stock too many. I also ordered through Amazon. |
Huge Amazon fan (esp with Prime free shipping) but actually bought our Panasonic MW from Newegg, another fabulous online retailer. They are mainly focused on technology stuff, but carry an interesting assortment of appliances. They also have great customer svc. Like another poster, the first we ordered had a dent (this is a hazard of online purchasing) but they immediately shipped a replacement and sent out a prepaid shipping return label so we just shoved it back into the box and had UPS pick it up. No hassles. And, at least for a little while longer, no sales tax, which for me is an automatic 8% discount. Heck, I prefer buying online versus getting into the car, fighting traffic, and dealing with brain dead big box salespeople. |

Got my last one from AJ Madison. |
- Posted by sara_the_brit_z6_ct (My Page) on Mon, Oct 22, 12 at 17:59
Home Depot and Lowes both usually offer a "ship to store" option - if it's available on their website, check whether you can buy it online and have it shipped to your nearest store for pick up. The other advantage is that you don't have to pay shipping. I bought my microwave from Best Buy that way. On the other hand, I've had only good experiences with Amazon shipping. |
I'd go with Amazon. You won't even have to get dressed. They're really really easy about returns but those things are packed well enough it shouldn't be a problem. |
"I'd go with Amazon. You won't even have to get dressed. " LOL That is the best part. Shop from home, in jammies, cup of tea/coffee/wine/whatevs, and they leave it at our front door! No traffic, no parking hassle. |

Who's the real fool?
Jay Stephens, the VP of Programming for Radio One, and a morning show coach named Steve Reynolds said…and I quote, "The 18-34 demographic in urban radio doesn't want to be enlightened, they want to have fun!… 20-year-old Black kids are still watching Nickelodeon."
That's from a XXL.com editorial written by radio personality Charlemagne Tha God, where he asks "Why Dumb it Down?"
For a while now musicians, especially in Hip Hop, have made a practice of "dumbing down", or making music less about serious issues and more about partying. I've heard from countless rappers, producers, and more: "You gotta dumb down. Most people aren't smart, and don't want to be."
"20-year old black kids are still watching Nickelodeon."
Why does the Black demographic matter? Supposedly the biggest consumers of urban music are White suburban teens, many of whom have at least a high school education. The statistic on White kids being the main consumers of Hip Hop may be questionable; but, of the many live "urban" shows I've been to, I've seen more people of other races than Black in the audience.
So, it seems that for a while now, Black artists and urban radio stations have been dumbing down their material with a Black audience in mind…but Blacks may not even be the main consumers buying the product. Who's the real fool then?
(Note: I'm in my mid 20s, have a Masters degree, and still watch cartoons. They're more creative than "reality" shows.)
A lot of these execs think they're smarter than they are, when many of them are making assumptions off "reports". News flash- Numbers CAN lie.
I dumbed down for my audience and double my dollars./
They criticize me for it. Yet they all yell "Holla!"/
If skills sold, truth be told/
I'd probably be lyrically Talib Kweli./
Truthfully, I wanna rhyme like Common Sense/
(But I did five Mil) I ain't been rhyming like Common since.
-Moment of Clarity, Jay-Z
But this isn't just about Hip Hop.
Dumbing down has always made it's way through entertainment, especially film and TV. Studios ask for more "action" because the audience is "too stupid" to catch metaphors and symbolism, or meaningful dialogue. How many "reality" shows have the same basic set up, and many times we can tell when something was scripted?
Diesel now has a campaign around the slogan "Be Stupid."
Radio, television, film, advertisements, even public schools, work off the assumption that humans are dumb and like being that way.
This base-level thinking is imprisoning.
And last I remember, calling someone stupid was fightin' words!
It's one thing to simplify, and it's another to dumb down.
As artists, we have to take minds to another level.
I'd probably be, lyrically, Talib Kweli./Truthfully, I wanna rhyme like Common Sense/
(But I did five mill) I ain't been rhyming like Common since."

I have a very large & prolific wisteria which was covered in blooms this spring. If I deadhead will it rebloom?
Thanks! |

What kind of wisteria do you have? My native wisteria will bloom lightly off and on all summer whether I dead head or not; I don't know if the Asian species rebloom. |
My Chinese one does a nice summer bloom if the new growth is kept pruned back. It's nowhere near the spring display but nice to have nonetheless. It's just starting to put out summer buds now. My Japanese one is still too young to flower so I'm not sure if it wll do a second bloom or not. From what I've read, they are less inclined to than the Chinese ones. But on the local garden tour this summer there was a nice Japanese one. The owner said it reblooms somewhat in the summer if he keeps it cut back. |
You can cut your Wisteria vine back to the 6th node from the main stem - it will rebloom. |
Very interested to have Wisteria. Anyone know where I can get in Houston Texas? Thanks |

Engineering Student Finds His Motivation
A paper manufacturing facility can be intimidating to an undergraduate engineer. It's a mega-machinery, hard hats, safety vests and steel-toe shoes type of environment, covering nearly a square mile. But it's where a USC chemical engineering student found his motivation.
"I didn't get really excited about engineering until I started working at the plant," says Garrett Hunt, a senior who is getting real-world experience at a leading paper producer in Charleston. "Working as a process engineer intern at KapStone® Paper has shown me what the industry is all about and has given me the passion for engineering."
Paper manufacturing is a unique engineering environment Garrett explains. A facility like the one in Charleston is comprised of a paper production area, a pulp mill and a chemical recovery system. On top of that, the mill requires a tremendous amount of energy, so there's a small power generating plant on site.
"Once I started working I realized that I wasn't passionate about paper itself," he recalls, "but the troubleshooting — the day-to-day problem solving and teamwork that goes into such a large manufacturing process."
The co-op gives Garrett access to the entire operation and the opportunity to experience textbook theories in action, he says. "When I returned to campus, one of the first assignments in my process dynamic and control class was to read a chapter and answer a few questions at the end of the section. After reading the questions and skimming through the material, I realized that I knew it. I'd learned it during my co-op."
A native of Virginia, Garrett isn't the first in his family to work in the paper industry. His grandfather was a purchasing manager for a mill. And when he told his grandmother about his three-semester co-op, her response was overwhelmingly positive.
Working with counselors in the USC Career Center Garrett was able to secure his co-op and stay on track academically. "The staff showed me how to stay on course towards graduating on time."
More than simply enhancing his classroom learning, this experience is Garrett's opportunity to absorb what industry professionals know and gain insight that only comes from getting his hands dirty. His co-op also gives him a competitive advantage. "A year of job experience is reassuring," he says with confidence. "I'll have more career choices as I approach graduation."
