LOS ANGELES, April 17, 2013 — Just three weeks before his 83rd birthday, legendary NFL football announcer Pat Summerall died of cardiac arrest.
Summerall played in the NFL as a placekicker from 1952 through 1961 for the Detroit Lions, Chicago (now Arizona) Cardinals, and New York Giants. He was a member of the 1958 Giants team who lost to Johnny Unitas and the Baltimore (now Indianapolis) Colts in an overtime contest forever known as "The Greatest Game Ever Played."
Yet to his many legions of fans, it was after his playing career ended that he became a football icon. For the first two decades, he was one of many football television personalities.
When he began at CBS Sports in 1962, he was the color commentator. In 1974, he shifted and became the play-by-play man.
In 1981, Summerall was paired with a new television personality named John Madden. The fiery former Oakland Raiders coach had won a Super Bowl and would enter the Hall of Fame, but had little to no television experience.
The bombastic Madden and the serene Summerall were polar opposites. They both loved football, and became the platinum standard for sports announcing teams everywhere. A recent NFL Network documentary "Top Ten things we loved about the 1980s" featured the 49ers, Bears, Tecmo Bowl, big hair, and end zone dances.
Yet number one on the list was the Summerall and Madden announcing team.
Summerall and Madden were always given the best game of every Sunday. While Madden was frequently over-the-top excitable, Summerall was the calm guy without the ego who would keep the broadcast ship steady. Madden got the attention, but he credited Summerall with keeping things on course.
Summerall was never flashy, and his understated style allowed him to blend seamlessly into the game. He never put himself above the game. The game was about the players, and Summerall described every play in a crisp, succinct manner.
"First and ten, Phil Simms back to pass, hits Mark Bavaro for a four yard gain, second and six upcoming."
Madden would then give an explanation on the proper way to dump a Gatorade bucket on Head Coach Bill Parcells, or let everybody know the best way for a tough guy like Bavaro to eat ribs or a turkey leg. An unfazed Summerall would wait for Madden to finish just before the next play.
Refusing to try and out-Madden Madden, Summerall would just continue with the next play. "Simms hands off to Otis Anderson for a short gain to set up third and four."
Even in the biggest moments on the biggest stages, Summerall never wavered from his demeanor. Critics found him boring, but they were wrong. He let the game tell the story. He was the Vin Scully of football, the guy who watched the game with you without talking so much that he ruined it.
Madden is one of the rare guys who talked constantly but is still beloved.
The 1994 season saw the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers on a collision course for their third straight NFC Title Game and a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. Summerall's opening was pure poetry. "Two weeks from today we play the Super Bowl. Three weeks from today we play the Pro Bowl. Today, we play both."
The game lived up to its billing as Summerall faded into the background and did his job.
The 2001 NFL season saw the horrors of 9/11 shake a nation. The Super Bowl that year featured the 14-2 St. Louis Rams and the 11-5 New England Patriots.
The Rams were heavy favorites on the verge of a dynasty. On the final play of the game, Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri came in for a 48 yard field goal to try and give the Patriots one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history.
The game was tied 17-17, and as many as one billion people worldwide were watching the kick.
Most announcers scream their lungs out at moments like this. On this day, the call was pure Summerall. "Adam Vinatieri, right down the pike. Patriots win."
That was it. Fans did not need a screaming announcer to tell them what happened. Everybody saw it. It was vintage Summerall. Shakespeare said that "the play is the thing." Summerall knew the game was the thing. He told you the act and scene number, and let the actors tell the story.
Summerall retired after that game, although he would come back, in the same manner he did his play-by-play…quietly.
Even in death, Summerall's fate had him blending into the background. He died the day after terrorists exploded bombs at the Boston Marathon. He died on the same day Ricin filled letters were sent to the President of the United States and several Senators.
Like his entire career, he was overshadowed on the day of his death.
Yet to those who knew him best, he was the guy who made everyone around him better. They got the credit, but he was the rock of Gibraltar. John Madden put it best on the day after Summerall died.
"Pat Summerall is the voice of football and always will be."

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Du Preez, Dirk Jonathan email@example.com URN etd-11302005-111750 Document Title Nelson Mandela Forum Degree MArch (Prof) Department Architecture Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof S W le Roux Keywords
- Port Elizabeth
- congress centre
Date 2005-11-30 Availability unrestricted Abstract The failed projects of modernism and post-modernism leaves a theoretical void. More specifically the author takes issue with the apparent purposelessness of architecture. At the outset of this project the author ventured a Faustian attempt at relevance. Appendix A is a speculative description of architecture as a market deliverable - a consumer product. It proposes a design method adapted to a production-line view of architectural production. In this view the architect is an integrator of ideas, constraints, processes, implications - his main deliverable is a drawing.However, during the course of researching and designing this scheme even these sentiments were found not to be watertight. Inevitably the discourse degenerated into questions of poetics and spontaneity, character and meaning, liveliness and above all - Design.
The term 'design' mentioned here refers to the same idea encountered among pre-graduate architectural students and lay-people - consumers of architectural pornography. Design in the sense: "Can you add some design to our house. Design in the sense: "No, it doesn't matter if it works or not - I just want to know what it's going to look like". The architect is the queerly dressed individual with dark-framed glasses always dressed in black - a designer, a critic, a satirist, an esoteric.
At the 2005 UIA congress in Istanbul Peter Eisenmann prophesied the end of this concept of the role of architecture. Our fascination with the ocular - the image - came to a climax with 9/11. Assuming a cyclic trend he predicts that the importance of the visual spectacle will wane (Sobuwa, 2005). It is clear therefore that selling architecture to the free-market gives us a profession that is relevant but not essential. The architect is a fashion designer - his most valuable asset is his opinion packaged in reputation. His career is built on benevolent clients, dedicated to the cause of 'good architecture', which he meets through 'contacts'.
Here is a movement away from art - which uses a moral language to describe itself - pure forms, honest use of materials, truth, god is in the... etc - and therefore unfit for the free market (since money still resides outside moral good despite Ayn Rand's every effort) - towards craft - which is fundamentally a method. The architect therefore does not ask why?, or in what manner? but how? The architectural craft, the acquisition of which is deemed to be the main quest of tertiary architectural education is then appropriated as a design method. This design method is a system of sequential activities manifesting nonsequential thinking and can be graphically expressed as in Figure 1. The project presented here is an attempt to apply this method.

2 Chainz is taking you to school. T.R.U. University to be exact. And the professor himself is introducing his faculty staff as well, which includes Cap 1, Skooly, and Fresh (aka Short Dawg). As part of the curriculum you get 17 total tracks, including a number of loosies Mr. Chainz has already shared. The features on T.R.U. Jack City include Travis Porter, Mike WiLL Made-It, PeeWee Longway, Metro Boomin, Young Dolph, 808 Mafia, Zaytoven, DJ Spinz, and London on da Track. Listen to it in full after the jump.
Metro Thuggin, the collaborative project between Atlanta super producer Metro Boomin and the always entertaining and idiosyncratic Young Thug, has been awaiting to see the light of day. With the exception of a few loosies here and there, there hasn't really been much in the way of Metro Thuggin. However, this all may change in 2015, as they prep the release of their collaborative studio offering. Here we are treated to two cuts in "Speed Racer" and "Warrior." Listen to both after the jump!
After dropping "Bodies on the Ground" last December Fredo Santana returns to 2015 with "Bricks" an autotune-drenched cut. But if autotune isn't your thing and you're not feeling Fredo's movement then peep the awesome cover art above. That's Bobby Hill (from King of the Hill) with Fredo Santana's signature tattoos. I guess that's the only takeaway from this. Oh well. Peep Fredo Santana's "Bricks" after the jump. Or just stare at that hilariously rad cover art above. Whatever you want.
Guess who's back? Fashawn, in case you haven't read the title. After dropping his FASH-ionably Late mixtape (with The Alchemist) last year Fashawn returns in 2015 with his forthcoming album The Ecology. Check out "Guess Who's Back" after the jump and be on the lookout for The Ecology February 24th.
Travi$ Scott is dropping some new heat for you in 2015, as he's scheduled to release his anticipated debut album Rodeo. Along with "Nothing But Net" (featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR) he is sharing "High Fashion" featuring Future and production by Metro Boomin, Southside and WondaGurl. Check it out after the jump.
How are you spending your Monday? Me, you ask? Trapped inside my apartment courtesy of this blizzard currently reeking supreme havoc on my city. Thankfully I am keeping busy bumping tunes and stuffing my fat face with pizza and coffee. And I'm in additional luck because heavyweight producer Carnage is fittingly dropping this new banger featuring A$AP Ferg, Rich the Kid and Lil Uzi Vert. Why does this new song indict luck? Because when you're suffering from cabin fever there is no cure better than a good ol' banger that'll keep you entertained for hours. Peep Carnage's "WDYW" featuring A$AP Ferg, Rich the Kid and Lil Uzi Vert after the jump!
Cozz' Dreamville project Cozz & Effect was one of 2014's dopest releases and now the West Coast spitter is sharing the visuals for his "I'm Tha Man" cut. Check it out after the jump.
Still no Tha Carter V, but that isn't stopping Weezy from dropping new heat. First Lil Wayne apologized by sharing Sorry 4 the Wait 2 earlier in the week and now he's sharing his much hyped collaboration with Atlanta's Migos. "Amazing Amy" is produced by London on da Track. Listen after the jump.
DJ Mustard goes ahead and remixes Ty Dolla $ign's Diplo and DJ Dahi produced "Stand For." Listen to DJ Mustard's take on "Stand For" after the jump.
Los Angeles rapper Mani Coolin' teams up with Dreamville's Cozz for "Free My Mind." And although it's Cozz' name that may have you clicking play don't sleep on Mani Coolin', who delivers a skillful performance. Check out Mani Coolin's "Free My Mind" featuring Cozz after the jump and be on the lookout for Mani's new project Hope4TheYouth.
Dreamville's Bas links up with producer Jay Kurzweil for "Wilt Week" off L.A. Leakers' 2015 Draft Picks mixtape. Check it out after the jump.
Lil Wayne's highly anticipated Tha Carter V may not see the light of day anytime soon but he's apologizing to his fans for that with his second installment to the Sorry 4 the Wait series. Featuring Drake, 2 Chainz, Mack Maine, Shanell, and Christina Milian Sorry 4 the Wait 2 has Wayne going over "Sh!t," "No Type," "Hot N***a," "CoCo," "You Guessed It" and many other recognizable songs. You can stream and download Lil Wayne's Sorry 4 the Wait 2 mixtape after the jump.
Houston legend Z-Ro links up with MMG leader Rick Ross for "Keep It Real" which is set to appear on Z-Ro's forthcoming studio album Melting the Crown. Listen to "Keep It Real" after the jump.
Fat Joe links up with New York stalwart Troy Ave for "How U Luv That." Check it out after the jump.
When 2 Chainz isn't busy making intelligent arguments for the legalization of marijuana he's maintaining his career as a rapper. And on this new track he's also keeping it 100. Cap1, Skooly, Short Dawg, and Kaleb join Mr. Chainz for "Keep It 100″ from his T.R.U. Jack City mixtape. Listen after the jump.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Bonnie!
Facts about Bonnie
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Bonnie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Bonnie is a super sweet lab mix that was recently rescued from a rural animal shelter. She is about one year old and her and Jackie are sisters that were dumped at the shelter when they were about 3 months old. Both girls are very smart and just waiting for a forever home to show what great gals they are! Bonnie, as you can see, is super loving and she thinks she might be a lap dog. She is living in a foster home with other dogs and is doing just fine with them. If you would like to meet Bonnie, please complete an application at www.henricohumane.org.
Other Pets at Henrico Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bonnie, a Richmond Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Richmond breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

Bénin launched a plan to eliminate new HIV infections in infants by 2015 and to improve maternal health, according to a press release from UNAIDS. In partnership with UNAIDS, UNICEF, WHO, and other groups, Bénin signed on to the global plan to stop new infections in infants and to keep their mothers alive. The West African country has about 62,000 people with HIV to yield a prevalence of 1.2% among 15- to 49-year-olds. Women account for 32,000 of Bénin's HIV infections, UNAIDS estimates, and 5400 children up to 14 years old have HIV infection. From 2004 through 2011, Bénin expanded the number of health facilities offering services to prevent HIV infection in children from 204 to 450. Still, only 49% of pregnant women eligible for HIV services in Bénin receive those services. The new plan aims to coordinate care and prevention services for children and women by (1) ensuring maternal access to comprehensive services in all maternity hospitals to prevent HIV in children, (2) providing antiretroviral therapy for all pregnant women eligible for treatment, (3) expanding access to HIV voluntary counseling and testing, (4) improving access to male and female condoms, especially among young people, and (5) launching public advocacy campaigns. Bénin's new program has three primary goals for 2012 through 2015: • 90% decline in new HIV infections in children • 90% decline in AIDS deaths in children • 50% decline in AIDS deaths in mothers through 1 year after delivery According to Bénin's Minister of Health, Dorothée Kindé-Gazard, the new initiative "will make it possible to harmonize services that prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV throughout the country and to better coordinate the interventions."Source: UNAIDS press release. Bénin launches national plan to prevent new HIV infections among children. 20 February 2012.

By David Walters
HUGE HANDS FIRST SEEN IN: FOO FIGHTERS' "EVERLONG" When Stephane (played by Gael García Bernal), a calendar publisher with a tenuous grip on reality, loses his temper, his hands grow to grotesque size. The effect is reminiscent of Dave Grohl's supernatural combat style in Gondry's first and only video for the Foo Fighters, in 1997. CHARACTERS WATCHING THEMSELVES FIRST SEEN IN: BECK'S "DEADWEIGHT" AND WHITE STRIPES' "DEAD LEAVES AND THE DIRTY GROUND" As a result of his fragmented reality, Stephane watches his interaction with others from a studio in his brain. Gondry used a similar technique in 1997 when Beck entered a movie theater and found himself onscreen, and again in 2002 by projecting footage of Jack and Meg White on the walls of their house to convey memories.BIG BOOKS FIRST SEEN IN: BJÖRK'S "BACHELORETTE" In Stephane's perpetual daydreams about his neighbor Stephanie (Charlotte Gainsbourg), he writes a best-selling (and hugely cumbersome) novel for her titled I Am Just Your Neighbor and a Liar. By the Way, Do You Have Zoe's Number? Gondry first employed the big-book trick with Björk in 1997. (In all, Gondry and the singer have teamed up on six videos.) --DAVID WALTERS

Afterward you should recieve a confirmation email 5) But coming back to ticket purchase.After a successful log-in you will see 'Order details' page: a) check Dep./Arr. Station, Time, Date; b) check Ticket fare (it will be in EUR and HUF according to todays exchange rate) c) tick the box near 'I confirm that I don not need an invoice'(if you do, then you'll just need to fill out some additional info in a new page) and push 'Bank payment' button --> NB. There is a limited amount of time given for the above, so watch out for the time left (on your upper right corner). Also remember that home printing of MAV international tickets is not possible. International tickets booked online must be collected at one of the e-Ticket machines located at 40 railways stations in Hungary before your journey 6) And finally you will be redirected to OTP Bank web-page (OTP Direct), where you can make the payment --> a) again check the sum you are about to pay; b) from a drop down list choose a bank card type (Visa, MasterCard etc.); c) fill in 'bank name' d) fill in 'card holder's name' (as written on the card); e) 'bank card number' (though there is 5 boxes for up to 20 digits, but since most of the cards have 16 digit number you just need to fill in first 4 boxes and leave the last box blank); f) card validity date (month/year); g) card CVV code (can be found on the back of the card) and h) push 'Start' payment button 7) Hope everything went ok with bank operation and you've received a 10 digit code using which you can print your ticket via MAV ticket machines (located at all the major Hungarian stations).Last 20 seconds of the 'Ticket Video' (Jegyvásárlás video) shows you how to handle MAV ticket machine and receive your ticket.

Blitz hook needs to reveal hidden/stealth immediately on grab. If you hook someone in a bush or invisible, they are still invisible on the way back to you, that makes no sense, if you grabbed them, you should know they are there. Please fix.
NA Rukhron
As someone who used to love Blitzcrank I no longer play him since Thresh patch. While this has little to do with Thresh himself the mana pool reduction and rocket grab cost increase have been way to harsh. In fact I don't perceive it as an attempt to balance the champion, but as an attempt to throw it in the thrash can (be it successful or not). -50 base mana +10 rocket grab cost *1.5 mana barrier cooldown with a 240 starting mana and a 120 cost rocket grab Blitz took the shot. 1st level Blitz wasn't exactly strong anyway, so let's jump to 2nd. Now you have Rocket Grab (120 mana, 20 sec cooldown), Power Fist (25 mana, 9 sec cooldown) and 280 mana. You execute your trademark combo for 145 mana cost and end with 135 mana. In 20 seconds Blitzcrank mana regen will give you 28 more mana so you can try again. 135+28-145 = 18 mana. You're now sitting on -127 mana for your combo. Blitzcrank's mana regen will take 83,5 seconds to regen that. Of course we can add itens, runes and masteries. But 83,5 seconds cooldown I'd expect to do something "ultimate level", but not only can Blitzcrank 1-2 combo fizzle it can also backfire.
They want to make it so that blitzcrank takes skill to play. It was stupid when you could just spam Q over and over and eventually you WILL hit someone. It kind of makes high level, high stakes play for money pretty stupid. A single grab changes the course of an entire game. That's not ultimate level capability?

and my face is so tender! I used a microfiber cloth (new) as a wash cloth. I think it took my skin off with the grime! It seems very effective but I must use it more gently from now on. |
Follow-Up Postings:
LOLOLOL, I guess this takes exfolliating to a new level!!! I'm gonna try this! How hard did you rub? |
Pretty hard I guess. My face feels chapped now. Use gently! especially with just water on the cloth. |
I also tried it. I used a gentle touch, very little pressure. I used it with my face soap and followed it with a moisturizer. I can see the difference in my skin, the flakiness is gone and it feels smoother to the touch. Joy |
Barnmon, redheads traditionally have very tender skin. |

The Blistering Rise of iPad and Tablet Computing. Is iPad an iFad? Think again. That is a link to an article from yesterday's FastCoDesign, or CoDesign (hm, not sure if I typed that right, either way it's www.fastcodesign.com), a really great daily source of business + design + technology and where they all meet. I do, however, prefer the @fastcompany twitter feed, my favorite non-friend tweeter that I follow. Anyway, click on the link above and check it out. The title is self-explanatory, and includes a nice infographic. It's not even nearly the most convincing bit of research about the future of tablets. I believe that holding an iPad (just bought one a couple weeks ago) is like holding a humble preview of what is to come for computing and technology. Keep in mind that this device is LESS than 1 year old. Still an infant. Why listen to me though!? All you have to do is go to www.allthingsd.com (another great tweeter: @allthingsd), click on Video and then find "D8" in the drop down menu. The "D" conferences are held annually in California and basically consist of Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher of the Wall Street Journal having candid conversations with CEO's of some of the biggest players in the tech world. Choose any video of any CEO and listen to him/her talk about the future and iPad/tablets. I will leave you with a quote from D8 by Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of Dreamworks Animation:
"In our lifetimes, ya know, Steve Jobs is truly one of the single most amazing, brilliant, inventive, creative, entrepreneurial people. He's sort of in a place of himself here. And in my opinion when we see … if you could step back and look at his legacy, in fact his greatest accomplishment is going to be this tablet."

Outside the L.C. Bird High School gym on Saturday, Feb. 5, there were all the trappings of a typical sporting event: The loud cheering of the fans, the announcer's steady broadcasting and the enticing aroma coming from the concession stand nearby. However, inside was a different kind of event, as dozens of high school-aged engineers battled each other, not in physical sport, but in strategic, technological warfare.
That day, 28 teams from Virginia, including one from Bird, contended in the first VEX Robotics competition hosted in Chesterfield County, but as the school's head principal, Dr. Beth Teigen, said, the more important issue was Bird's pre-engineering program – not necessarily the competition itself.
Established in 2000, the program, now called the Virginia Governor's Academy for Engineering Studies, provides county students with a rigorous approach to learning the core concepts of engineering, preparing them for higher education and the work force. For Teigen, who once led the program and wrote much of its curriculum, extra-curricular events, such as VEX Robotics competitions, offer students a chance to use these skills while they are learning them.
"The kids get to apply knowledge they learn in the classrooms," said Teigen. "And I think it's really important that when they go from one competition to the next, it allows them to reflect on their performance and actually make improvements, which I think is where the real learning occurs."
Also present that morning was Chesterfield County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Marcus J. Newsome, who spoke a few words of encouragement to the competitors. Dr. Nancy Hoover, coordinator of the pre-engineering program at Bird, felt his words indicated an appreciation for the program's approach to hands-on learning.
"He's very supportive, as is all of Central Office, of this kind of thing because you can't teach this in the classroom," said Hoover. "You can talk about the theory, you can talk about the application, but this is where the kids are actually doing it. …We owe it to our motivated kids to give them avenues to explore."
Hoover has seen firsthand how the program has benefitted students in the past, saying, "They were so much ahead of the game when they got to college." The same applied, she said, when they hit the work force, as numerous graduates from the program have gone on to bright futures in engineering.
Darlene Pantaleo, a veteran volunteer in the field of robotics competitions, organized the event at Bird and felt this approach to learning benefitted students in different ways, one of which was helping them discover whether the field was right for them to pursue as a career choice.
"Everyone that gets into it will learn something about themselves, whether its teamwork dynamics or problem-solving skills," said Pantaleo. "These are life-type skills, these aren't just for engineering programs; these are valuable life lessons."
Bird's team of six engineering students didn't do particularly well that day, according to Hoover, but their success in a previous tournament qualified them for the VEX Robotics world championship, which will be held in Orlando, Fla., April 14-16. The team will be competing in another event at Liberty University on March 26.

15 take on the Energy Challenge
Fifteen Mansfield families have just begun an Energy Challenge.
And five months from now, we will find out who saved the most money by taking advantage of good advice.
The Energy Challenge program kicked off in October with an introduction to interested residents; afterward, 15 households signed on to participate.
The Energy Challenge is focused on conserving the use of electricity.
The program is overseen by the Mansfield Energy Education Team, which is a subcommittee of the Mansfield Sustainability Committee.
The households taking part in the Energy Challenge are getting assistance from the Energy Education Team acting as energy coaches, of which I am a part.
We energy coaches, although not professional auditors, are going to participants' homes to see how electricity is being used and based on our house tours, will make recommendations on some obvious ways to reduce energy consumption.
We are providing Energy Challenge participants with a starter kit of materials to help them begin reducing energy use.
We also will be using a camera with infrared imaging to detect where heat is escaping from the house.
And the Challenge is being videotaped, so that even if you aren't enrolled in the program, you can learn from your neighbors. These visits will be aired on the Charter Community Access Channel 14 at dates to be announced.
In some cases, we are recommending that participants arrange for a professional energy audit offered through Connecticut Light & Power, called Home Energy Solutions.
There's a $75 fee for this audit, but potential savings can quickly offset this cost.
One of the things the Home Energy Solutions auditors will do is use a fan-like device to pull air through the house – this allows them to discover where cold air is coming into the house – or warm arm is escaping (or in the summer months, where the hot air is coming in and making the air-conditioner work overtime).
Once the air leaks are pinpointed, the auditors can do a number of things, such as seal window air leaks or install "sweeps" at the base of doors.
The auditors may also replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescents, including specialized bulbs for recessed lights or fixtures that use dimmers.
They might also provide a low-flow shower head to reduce hot water use, or advise the resident to add insulation, for example, in the attic. In this case, the resident would be eligible for a 30 percent discount towards purchasing insulation.
One neat device given to the resident during the audit is a Kill-A-Watt meter. This helps track which appliances may be using a lot of energy.
So, for example, the refrigerator would be plugged into the Kill-A-Watt meter, which is then plugged into the outlet – and it provides a measure of how much electricity this appliance is using. Old refrigerators can be notorious for consuming energy.
These devices also can detect whether an appliance is still drawing energy, even after it is shut off.
This is a really good time – because of the federal government's stimulus funds – to take advantage of programs that help with energy savings, such as rebates for buying energy efficient appliances.
It's also good to know that there are tax credits available when you purchase some energy-saving products.
If you can afford it, this is the time to act.
If you'd like to know more about how to reduce energy use, call me at 860-429-3333.
You can also learn more about CL&P's energy saving programs on their Web site at http://www.cl-p.com/Home/SaveEnergy/Rebates/HomeEnergySolutions.aspx

This is my all time favorite mascara and I have repurchased it countless time. It has a nice curved wand and is extremely black. It gives my lashes a full and voluminous look and doesn't smudge. You need this in your collection.

This is my overall favorite mascara ever and especially from the Volum' Express Falsies line. I haven't found a high end or any other drugstore mascara that can match up to this one. It holds my curl and gives me some great volume. I have to admit that it does take about a week for the formula to thicken a bit. I always have a bit of an older tube of this stuff that I use for the first coat and then I put two more coats on with the newest tube. It works our great and it's pretty black. Not quite as black as L'Oreal's Voluminous Carbon Black mascara and definitely not as black as Urban Decay's Perversion mascara. But I only use those two mascaras to finish up my lashes for the blackest black look. They don't do anything for volume on me. I would be lost without my Falsies mascara. It's a necessity for me. I could do without any other mascara. Maybelline got the formula right! I've tried all the other newest mascaras they've come out with and I'm continuously disappointed. I do like the Falsies Black Drama version but it dries out really fast. I'll usually buy the black Drama one if my Regular Falsies very black is out of stock at my local Ulta or Walmart.

I like this mascara and the look it gives me. It will fan our your eyelashes and give them a doll-like appearance. However, I don;t get anything close to resembling false eyelashes...this gives more of a natural look if anything. I had to stop using this because it made my eyes itch :( of course, that is completely individual, so you might have no issues. the colossal gives me similar results and no eye itching.

I can brag about this all day long!!!!!! This is my favorite mascara ever!! I have 4 back-ups because of how amazing they are! I have very thing, short lashes and once i apply this, people think i have falsies on! The best way to use this is to curl your lashes first, then apply a generous coat of this stuff! BAM!
I have tried billions of mascara from loreal to benifit and this ladies is by far the best i have ever tried!

This is my favourite mascara. It gave my short, sparse eyelashes a thick, feathered and curly look and didn't clump or flake all day.

I absolutely LOVE this mascara! It gives me insane volume so quickly. The brush is so versatile and the product is more of a wet consistency which I prefer. It can be a bit clumpy at times but it takes just a second to separate in between coats. It performs just as well as a high end mascara but a third of the price. When I wear this mascara (I wear it on a daily basis) i am always asked whether I'm wearing falsies which is the ultimate compliment when wearing a mascara!

I didn't like this mascara at all. I bought the waterproof version (i dont know if the normal one does the same) and it ALWAYS ended up leaving black marks under my eyes and even on my browbone. I looked like a panda unless I set it woth clear mascara. To be fair, it gave a lot of volume, which I was pleased about

I got both this one and the Maybelline Mega Plush on sale (about $5 apiece). The tubes are so bright and pretty - and I really like a fat mascara tube. Plus, mascara is something I have to replace fairly often, so even if I have one I really like (Cover Girl), it's OK to try new things.
For both this and the Mega Plush, my reviews will be the same, or very similar. Good color, good endurance, but...the wand. The packaging actually shows what the brush looks like, but fails to mention that the wand has a flexible bendy joint.
I found it very difficult to apply. I'm sure the flexible wand helps some people apply more product for the "falsies" look, but it just kind of pushed my lashes out of the way. Had a hard time connecting and actually getting the product on.
So I said I wouldn't buy it again, but I would be willing to try again if the wand were the standard firm kind I'm used to.

I really like this mascara! It gives a really nice curl, especially if you curl your lashes before. It gives a pretty natural look, nothing too dramtic. I like that it seperates your lashes as long as you dont apply too many coats. If you apply too many coats it starts getting clumpy on your lashes. Overall, I really like this mascara, the only con is that it flakes but its still a really good mascara!

Robbins police chief, mayor stepping down
BY JOE BIESK firstname.lastname@example.com January 7, 2013 7:51PM
Johnny Lewis Holmes said Monday night that he had retired as police chief of Robbins last week. | Supplied photo
Updated: February 9, 2013 6:29AM
The Robbins police chief who authorities say exclaimed, "Oh wow," when he was asked to take a sobriety test shortly before his drunken driving arrest last month has stepped down.
Johnny Lewis Holmes said he has retired from his post as police chief following his Dec. 22 arrest in Midlothian. Holmes, who was at the Robbins police department Monday night, said he retired Thursday.
"Officially, I am no longer chief," Holmes said in a telephone interview. "Everything is relevant. I've done my time and it's time for me to move on. And, in the best interest of all parties involved, that appeared to me and village officials the best resolution to all this."
Midlothian authorities say the 66-year-old Holmes, who also is a member of the Community High School District 218 Board, was so disoriented on the night he was stopped for DUI that he thought he was still in the neighboring village of Posen. The incident marked Holmes' second DUI arrest in Midlothian in less than three years.
Holmes allegedly admitted that he had been drinking in Posen the night he was stopped, and officers found a flask of alcohol in his jacket, according to a police report. He also failed two field-sobriety tests, and a subsequent Breathalyzer indicated his blood-alcohol level was .194, more than twice the legal limit, according to a police report.
According to court records, he was sentenced to court supervision and paid more than $1,000 in fees for the 2010 DUI citation.
He had led the Robbins Police Department since 1991.
Holmes said his future as a board member for District 218 — which includes Richards, Eisenhower and Shepard high schools — is still uncertain.
"I have not decided. That's kind of a different case scenario and I have not decided what's going to happen with that," Holmes said. "I'll be meeting with fellow board members and having some discussion I imagine."
Reached at her home, Robbins Mayor Irene Brodie said she had heard of Holmes' recent arrest in Midlothian and asked him to step down as police chief in her town.
"He said to me, 'Dr. Brodie, I just wanted to let you know that what I have done is not anything good,' " Brodie said in a telephone interview. "I said, 'I'm not happy about you.'
"He said to me, 'I will do whatever I can to quit. I will quit.' He said that to me."
Brodie, meanwhile, said she plans to step down as mayor at the end of the week, months before her term expires. Brodie said she has been mayor in Robbins for more than 30 years, and is stepping down from that post as well as from her teaching position at Moraine Valley Community College.
Her departure is not related to Holmes' situation, she said.
"I'm just kind of tired," Brodie said. "I've said to everybody, 'Don't bother me anymore.' "

Marketing a Clean Spa
By: Janet McCormick
Posted: June 1, 2009, from the June 2009 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 4 of 4
The information can also be e-mailed to a client list, stating something to the effect of, "Your safety is important to us at XYZ spa." Spa personnel should supply the brochure and insert to clients and provide a short explanation, such as, "We've become aware of the changes out there in the world, so we have decided, for your protection, that we must step up our infection control. We care about you and want to protect you in every way we can. Please take a look at the explanation in the brochure so you will know the changes we've made."
Small, tasteful signs should also be placed around the spa about the policy and at the front desk. This will result in positive curiosity, then clients will begin discussing it with their friends who have seen the media stories and will be pleased to brag about how "My spa is stepping it up. Has yours? If not, you need to come to mine." Also, you will be surprised how many facial, hair and massage clients not getting pedicures will begin making appointments.
External marketing. The external marketing of the focus on sanitation can be simple, such as placing in every ad a brief statement that reads, "We focus on your safety," or, "We sterilize." Your Web site can include a short page with your safety policies, focusing on a "We care" theme. A small, transparent statement placed eye-level above the handle on the front door of the business is also a good practice. It's believed that a person must see something seven times during a short period of time to remember it. That means any new marketing must be staccato though subtle. Once is not enough.
Answer it loudly
Clients are becoming more knowledgeable and, therefore, are becoming more choosey about where they experience their spa services. Many are turned off due to what they have heard about the unsanitary conditions of some nail salons and spas in general. Marketing to this concern can turn a negative into a positive; attack it head on and answer it loudly, and you will reap the benefits with new clients and more business.

She has co-edited a Clinicians Guide with Professors Janet Treasure and Ulrike Schmidt and contributed to several peer reviewed papers in the academic literature.

Across the U.S, retailers, hotel managers and restaurant owners are gearing up for Spring! Now is the time to restock and prepare for Spring customers. There's no better way to prepare than by investing in sidewalk signs and changeable outdoor signs.
Fishing and Reeling Them In
One could look at outdoor advertising as the sport of fishing. The signicades, swinger signs and changeable message signs you place outside your establishment are the "bait" and once in, your products reel customers in and close the deal.
Outdoor signage is hard for those in cars or walking on sidewalks to miss—people can't help but notice them. In shopping and eating districts, the retailers that take advantage of outdoor signage win the customer. Why? Because they are offering information that piques the interest of the average consumer.
The "information" may be a welcome in, but it can also include things like sale announcements, restaurant menus, deals of the day or even the price of a hotel room or what's brewing in the coffee shop.
Interruption Marketing
When consumers walk the streets of shopping districts—even if they are in route to work or on an errand, sidewalk signs and changeable outdoor signs serve as a form of interruption marketing.
Interruption market is just what it sounds like. It is a form of communicating with consumers in a way that "interrupts" their current activity.
The key to making the best use of outdoor signage is ensuring:
The message is clear
The sign is prominently placed
No words are misspelled and proper grammar is used
Mixing up your message on a consistent basis to keep consumers interested
Even if your establishment is not in the heart of your town's shopping and eating district, Metropolitan Display also has outdoor signage options for you such as our roadside billboard sign with changeable message board.
The key is to use them creatively and "interrupt" the lives of those walking on the street or driving by your establishment.
Additional Signage Options
Browse through our entire lineup of swinger signs which includes lettering kits, erasable message signs and neon-marker swinger curb/sidewalk signs. We offer both black and white durable, high-quality signs built to last.
We also carry rolling signs for easy maneuvering and our swinger signs come in 24" x 36" and 32" by 52" to help announce, entice and engage consumers.
Taking Advantage of Outdoor Signage Discounts
Throughout the month of March 2013, all of Metropolitan Display's swinger curb/sidewalk signs are 10 percent off (promo code swinger10—or if placing a phone order, just mention the code to one of our operators).
Because Spring—and then Summer—are just around the corner, now is the time to utilize outdoor signage options and "interrupt" consumers. And, as with all the display products we sell, you can order online or call us and place an order.
Advertise with sidewalk signs and changeable outdoor signs and because all of our products are deeply discounted, you'll see the return on your ad investment quickly.
Don't forget to find us on Facebook and Twitter and we invite you to interact with us on Google+!

Answered by
Sheikh Hamad al-Haydarî, professor at al-Imâm University
It is permissible to sell something – like a car or a house – through installment payments and charge a higher price than you would charge for selling it for the full amount up front. The buyer is obliged to pay each installment on time.
The buyer and seller can come to an agreement where the buyer pays off the full amount earlier and the seller reduces the total price. This is a matter of disagreement among Muslim scholars, but the strongest view is that it is permissible, since there is no injustice in it.
We must understand that the extra money in such a contract is not interest, since it is from the start a fixed monetary sum in exchange for some good or service. Interest is where an excess of money is paid on top of money borrowed for a period of time.
In a case where a person receives a discount for paying off the installments early, it is simply a case where the seller waives a portion of the purchase price.
If a predetermined discount for early payment is agreed upon at the time of sale, then the seller is obliged to honor the discount. On the other hand, if the buyer comes with the full amount of money later on and requests a discount for paying off the installments early, the seller is not obliged to grant it, since there was no pre-existing agreement.
Of course, there is no problem if the buyer voluntarily pays off the full amount of the agreed-upon purchase price early without seeking a discount.
And Allah knows best.

Number one, what are the benefits to dual wielding vs. lightning attack? As far as I can tell lightning attack gives you more attacks, and doesn't stack with the dual wielding talents, correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, what upgrades would you be able to put on a force sword?
Can one have two wrist mounted weapons, while also dual wielding?
How exactly do opposed tests work? The mechanic doesn't make too much sense to me, i.e. how degrees of success work with that kind of check.
Finally, can you still use biomantic powers if you have cybernetic arms and whatnot?
Thank you in advance.

You know, this a extremely refreshing pop record, but nobody in the indie/alternative music blogosphere saw Lana as a popstar or reaching larger audiences with that Video Games – EP, right? So now, because now you aware of that, it's time to diss her trying to look cool again. What a hypocritical article indeed!

Based on that comment, we can assume that P4k is not allowed to like any of the albums that made into a year-end list because it's 'too popular'. Truth is, there's only 10 spots in this list which imo is a pretty good one, given the fact it was voted by the readers.


text: (born July 12, 1988, Seoul, S.Kor.), © Chatchai Somwat/Shutterstock.comIn 2013 Park In-Bee of South Korea stunned the golfing world by winning the first three major tournaments of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) season, a feat that had been accomplished by only one other golfer in history—the legendary Babe Didrikson Zaharias in 1950. With victories at the Kraft Nabisco Championship in April, the LPGA Championship in early June, and the U.S. Women's Open at the end of June, Park also became only the fourth golfer to have won three LPGA majors in a calendar year. Those wins boosted Park's number of career major titles to four and career LPGA victories to nine. In 2013 alone she won six events on the LPGA circuit and earned more than $2.4 million in prize money. Park began playing golf in Seoul at the age of 10. Accompanied by her mother, she moved to the U.S. in 2000 to pursue her dream of one day making the LPGA tour. She trained first in Florida with a coach who had also emigrated from Seoul and then in Las Vegas with noted golf instructor Butch Harmon, who helped guide her early career. As an amateur she was an immediate standout. In 2002 she won the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship and was named by the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) as its Player of the Year; she was runner-up at the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship in 2003 and 2005. Before turning professional in 2006, she won a total of nine AJGA events and was named a junior All-American five times. Park qualified for the 2007 LPGA season and the following year claimed her first major championship, defeating Helen Alfredsson of Sweden by four strokes in the U.S. Women's Open. At the age of 19 years, 11 months, and 17 days, Park was the youngest golfer ever to capture a U.S. Women's Open title. Several disappointing seasons followed, however. Though Park continued to turn in solid performances, it was not until 2012 that she again tasted victory at an LPGA tournament. That year she won the Evian Masters in France and the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia; she also placed or tied for second at six events on the tour and received the Vare Trophy for lowest scoring average (70.212) for the season. Park's historic 2013 campaign began with a triumph at the Honda LPGA Thailand in February. After winning the Kraft Nabisco Championship, she overtook American Stacy Lewis as the world's number one ranked woman player. Park's bid to become the first player to win four consecutive LPGA majors in the same season ended when she finished tied for 42nd at the Women's British Open in August. Although she struggled somewhat with her game late in the season, a third-place finish at the Reignwood LPGA Classic in October helped Park maintain her position at the top of the women's world rankings.
