Agreed I wasted some ip on tier 1 and 2.
Tribunal Justice
Runes are so bad really. I'm surprised they revamped the items (and masteries a second time) rather than fix the runes. 1. Buying tier 1 and 2 runes is a noob trap. 2. You shouldn't be able to buy more than 9 runes or 3 quints of the same kind. 3. The Xmas one should stack ontop of it's relative normal version or be next to it so you don't have to hunt for it or go OCD and delete it. BTW riot won't change one to the other. I asked. I have a single Xmas rune that drives me nuts some days. 4. *Recycling* runes is usually just throwing away good IP. You might be better off trying it early when you can get a 2k rune for two 205 ones with luck. However, you're still just getting completely random runes. 5. Many runes feel bad and others feel over priced. This concern is majorly seen in the energy rune department. These runes have been out for like TWO YEARS and NEVER have been touched. Honestly tier 1 and 2 runes should be completely free. This way people don't have to buy runes if they don't want to be super competitive and still have good options and can have champions and be casual. But even more honestly I've seen and made several threads like this and a red has never responded and people really don't seem motivated to care about it. Maybe it's because this game is super casual and a lot of people see tier 2 as the super cheap bargain deal that does plenty at a fraction of the cost. You have to realize that apparently silver is the top 25% of the entire player base and even there you often see people fail to properly runepage on a regular basis.
I hate the part where you are lv 19 and have 0 runes cuz tier 2 runes suxors and then you face a lv 20 with full tier 3 runes for his lv and die just because of that
I expanded on your thread and linked back to it here. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/....php?t=2935610
just lock the rune pages until 20... I don't use them... well I bought a few before I realized they were pretty much worthless until lvl 20. I think not having them makes you learn to play each champ better.. which makes you a better player in the long run..
OMG Turtle
Yes and no... Tier 3 runes at level 1 are equally a noob trap. The reason for tier 1 and 2 runes are so 'noobs' buy them to check them out, while spending 20-30 IP on them. "ooh that MS quint looks cool..." "ah, I don't actually like that... oh ****, I could've almost bought a new champion with that..." 4k for a rune at that level is HUGE. Tier 1 runes ARE worth the money. 15 IP for runes that are half as effective as tier 3 runes isn't all that much (18*15 = 270 IP for a full rune page at level 19 excluding quints) and they are fairly strong. However, tier 2 are especially worthless. I think tier 1 should be free, or be refundable in some way. Maybe have rune credits as you level up? Change it so at level 30 you unlock tier 3 runes and until then you have free tier 1 runes to try around with?
No i disagree so much. Tier 1 Runes are SOOOOO dirt cheap, and give you a nice little edge in-game. It's a little worthwhile to buy a tier1 rune everytime you level up and get another slot. Atleast until level 20.
I've done the math for myself before with extensive testing and if you plan to be able to fill every role (even not counting super specific set ups, like mass attack speed or something) it's more cost effective to buy a hoard of 15 IP Runes and combine them to tier 3 (While keeping good Tier 2 ones until you no longer need them). I've on more than one occasion had three good Tier 3 runes for various roles on a level 8 account while still buying Champions and having some runes to fill the rest of the page. Now if you are only going to ever play a single role like ADC with ArmorPen red, Armor yellows, MagRes(or MagResPerlvl) blues and flat AD or ArmorPen Quints, then this doesn't apply to you. But otherwise until you have a good base this is the best IP for value option. Pretty sure I did this mass before they limited you to 3 of each type of Quint and 9 of each type of basic rune as well, meaning it would only be more cost efficient as you'll avoid getting too many duplicates.

The ACP-EU Energy Facility (EF) was established in 2005 to co-finance projects on increasing access to modern and sustainable energy services for the poor in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries, especially in rural and peri-urban areas. Following the successful implementation of the first EF, it was decided to create a second one. A total of Three Calls for Proposals have been made under the EF: one under the 9th EDF (EUR 196 million) and two under the 10th EDF (EUR 100 million + EUR 25 million top-up). A total of 140 projects were selected and successfully managed under the first two Calls for Proposals for a total project budget of about EUR 600 million. Most projects of the first Call for Proposals have now ended or are about to be finalized. The projects from the second Call for Proposals are currently under implementation and a few of them have ended.
The monitoring of the ACP-EU Energy Facility has two main purposes:
To provide information, advice and support to the EC Delegations in charge of the management of the Energy Facility contracts. The project implementing bodies can benefit from this assistance.
To facilitate rapid and effective reporting from Task Managers of the Energy Facility to the hierarchy and to the external partners of the EC.
The present website emphasises the dissemination of project results and will allow to:
Contribute to the quality in implementation through the dissemination of results, successful stories and lessons learned from the Energy Facility's projects
Foster contacts and exchanges of experience between projects.
For more information on the EF Projects please visit the ACP-EU EF Projects Database.
For more general information on the programme please visit the EuropeAid website.
All presentations from the Energy Facility Seminar in Kigali, 21-22 November 2012 are now uploaded on this website. During the 2-day seminar close to 30 presentations were made.

text: RFI Mitigation Techniques for RadioAstronomy Michael Kesteven Australia Telescope National Facility Groningen, 28 March 2010 • Introduction • The issues • RFI-free environments • Blanking • RFI cancellation • The low RFI levels problem • The large dataset problem • Prospects RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Introduction In the past decade a number of RFI mitigation techniques have been trialled and shown to work. Yet few observatories have on-line RFI mitigation installed. Has its time now arrived, perhaps? RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 There is no universal solution • Different sources of RFI • TV/Communications • Satellites • Observatory-based • Different types of Telescopes • Single dish • arrays • Different observing regimes • Low frequency; high frequency • VLBI • Pulsars • Spectral line • Continuum RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 The ITU RA-769 argument A.R.Thompson provided a useful framework to describe the impact of RFI. Of interest here is the link between the observation mode and the RFI levels. Recognise that RFI entering the main beam of a telescope (LOFAR apart) is generally a lost cause. Pitch the debate at RFI in the far sidelobes - at the level corresponding to a 0 dBi gain. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Single Dish Operation Natural defences are few antenna sidelobes (0 dBi gain) Mitigation techniques work well adaptive filters blanking Datasets are modest (relatively speaking) detailed probes over the entire dataset are realistic Vulnerable to low level interference RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Arrays Natural defences are better: antenna sidelobes phase tracking decorrelation delay decorrelation (continuum observations) spatial resolution Mitigation techniques less well developed Datasets could become huge Some advanced techniques may not be realistic in the near term RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Current response to RFI - Flag/blank post-detection data. - Retune the receiver to an adjacent frequency - Tolerate it - Reschedule the observations RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 The Challenge We need machinery to reduce the impact of RFI which is damaging the astronomer's data. - It should be automatic, reliable and robust. - It should not introduce artefacts which mimic real results. - The cost of applying the machinery should be predictable. - The cost should be less than the cost of doing nothing. (cost : $, science, time) RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Mitigation Options Pro-active mitigation : Avoidance Remove the RFI at source. Re-active mitigation : Remove the RFI from the data Blank those parts of the astronomical data space which contain RFI ---- excision. Identify and remove the RFI while leaving the astronomy untouched --- cancellation. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Avoidance no RFI to mitigate - Remote Locations - Regulation - Spectrum Management - Radio quiet zones - Good observatory practice - Discipline - Good design - Maintenance - Constant monitoring RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Blanking, Flagging This is the current mitigation strategy of choice. It is attractive to observers because it is simple and its consequences are predictable: • The loss in sensitivity is related to the amount of data discarded. • The effect on the image quality can be estimated. • It is straightforward in its implementation, and can easily be automated. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Excision Pulsed interferer (~msec) Time Radiometer integration period (~msec) Requirements: - The RFI events occupy a small fraction of the data space. - Each RFI event has to be detectable – needs INR > 1 in small number of samples. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Excision – Real Time blanking - Given the mean and rms of good data, define RFI to be those samples above a threshold (= r*rms) - Need to buffer some small number of data samples in order to be able to distinguish good from bad. - The buffer allows you to apply some intelligence: determine the local mean and rms in order to identify the outliers. - The buffer allows further options – one could blank a known pulse shape, for example. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Implementations A number of observatories have built hardware, on-line blanking devices. - Arecibo, for example, addresses the serious RFI from neighbouring radar. The known timing details of the pulsing assists the blanking trigger. - WSRT have demonstrated an impressive unit built around digital processing boards which, amongst in many capabilities, can provide on-line blanking. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Excision Post-correlation Blanking. Flag the data – instruct the downstream imaging/processing machinery to ignore the corrupt samples. This is the RFI-mitigation strategy of last resort. Tedious when done manually; automated scripts now available. When this is applied to the correlator output data, the minimum quantum of rejected data is the size of the correlator dump cycle. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 ATCA – Middleberg Automated flagging RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Frequency Blanking Discarding data in frequency space is a variant of this approach: modern high speed processing allows fine on-line spectral analysis, so that corrupted channels can be identified and excised. This is an option if the discarded fraction of frequency space is modest compared to the overall bandwidth. LOFAR includes this in its armoury. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Excision Issues The technique relies on the ability to detect RFI from a small number of samples (or from a priori information). It generally requires good INR. Long integrations with low INR will be compromised INR > 10 is a rough guide. There may be little to be gained by integration if the RFI is pulsed, as the INR is essentially based on a relatively small number of samples. (Periodic RFI is a separate case). Downstream processing should not be compromised. Care needed in defining the replacement sample. Discarding data in synthesis arrays will affect the (u,v) plane population and may therefore compromise the imaging quality. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Excision – Bottom line It can be a viable technique if the cost to science is modest. It depends on some prior definition of "badness", and it depends on a low duty cycle. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Cancellation This is the more ambitious approach – identify and characterise the RFI; then remove just the RFI. This is a two-step process: 1. Characterise the RFI. 2. Subtract the RFI from the data – to give the astronomer an RFI-free dataset. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Cancellation -- How is the RFI identified? - Extract the RFI details from the data itself. - Point a reference antenna towards the RFI -- use adaptive filter. - Predict the RFI from published data (eg, GLONASS) – use software adaptive filter. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Questions: Mitigate on the data on-the-fly ? (each correlator dump) Or Mitigate on the entire observation. SNR is the issue with the first; Data volume the problem with the second. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Filter Variants • Image plane filtering • Spatial filtering • Null Steering • Cyclo-stationary filters • Adaptive filters RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Clean/self-calibration filter (Cornwell-NRAO) Identify the RFI in the imaging stage. Apply self-calibration to the RFI. Remove the RFI. Stationary RFI will map to the pole. The self-calibration operates simultaneously in two areas : - The astronomical target; - The RFI which is stationary with respect to the observatory. The self-calibration accounts for the phasing and amplitude variations. It requires the data to be sampled much faster than the astronomical target would require. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Cornwell – 327 MHz. No Filtering Filter active RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Spatial Filtering • Each object within the field of view of the array will add a specific signature to the full set of correlation products between the antennas. • An eigenvalue decomposition of the product matrix will isolate the strongest sources. • A projection operation can then remove the RFI sources. • This scheme has long history, most recently successfully demonstrated in the LOFAR trials. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 The LOFAR snapshot variant 1. Within each widefield (whole sky) snapshot identify and remove the RFI point sources (as found by spatial filtering). This cleans the snapshot down to sky noise. 2. Stacking the sky-aligned snapshots builds the SNR on the astronomical objects while dissolving the remaining RFI. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 This scheme is best suited to low frequency arrays (LOFAR) There are problems at higher frequencies, where very short correlator cycle times are required. The computing load for a detailed spatial filtering operation may be a limiting factor. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Cyclostationary Filters • The concept here is to identify the RFI by its temporal signature, cyclostationarity. This attribute is specific to RFI. • The classical spatial filtering matrix is replaced by a variant which is matched to a cyclic frequency. • The projection operation then proceeds as before, to remove the RFI. • This scheme has had some initial (promising) trials on LOFAR. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Null Steering The ATA is an array of 42 antennas that includes a beamformer mode of operation, each beam directed to a potential target. This opens the possibility of adjusting the beamformer weights to position nulls in the direction of known RFI sources – fixed or mobile. Wide-band nulls may be required (and have been demonstrated). The process works well, but has serious implications for the bandwidth of the phase tracking machinery. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Adaptive Filters These have been applied to : • Single Dish • Arrays The starting point is to obtain a copy of the RFI. We manipulate this copy to match the RFI in the data – the function of the adaptive filter. We then subtract the modified copy from the data. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Cancellation Real-time adaptive filter RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Cancellation. Issues with the real-time filter It requires modest INR. Averaging at the correlation step helps. It can cope with multi-pathing, but not with multiple transmitters on the same frequency channel. With no RFI there is no added noise. Gain drops to zero. It adapts automatically to changes in the relative transmission path details. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Filter OFF Filter ON RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Real-time adaptive filter Best suited to continuum single dish observations. Works well for pulsar and VLBI observations. It may not be suitable for spectral line observations, as the cancellation is not complete, and the residuals will mimic the original RFI spectrum. It could be difficult to implement in an array. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Post-Correlation adaptive filter • We combine three cross-products to get a good estimate of the interference in the astronomical channel. • No total power products in the cross-products, thus no bias. • Noise*RFI products are also removed. • The signal/noise is set by the ratio of Correlated RFI to noise products - SNR ~ INR B c RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Single Dish – post-correlation Reference antenna RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Parkes 64m Adaptive filters • Both real-time and post-correlation filters use the INR as a control factor – the filter switches off when INR <~ 1 This makes the filter robust. • Both filters subtract the correction term from the raw astronomy signal – they do not modify the astronomy. • The real-time filter provides attenuation, leaving some residual RFI power; • The post-correlation provides cancellation, with some added residual zero-mean noise. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Postcorrelation filter applied to an array • The Post-correlation adaptive filter has been successfully applied to an array. • A reference antenna provided the RFI copy. • This copy followed the same conversion chain and correlation path as all the antennas of the array. • Each baseline was corrected for RFI after computing a baseline-specific correction term. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Synthesis Array Filtering (ATCA, 1503 MHZ, 4 MHZ BW) RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Before and after images RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Post-correlation Adaptive filter - Issues - Still effective with low INR (to ~ 0.1) - Will require additional correlator capacity - Works well with single dish. - Works well with an array, but may require short correlator dump times RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 The Low INR problem The mitigation schemes generally work on short sections of data, but the astronomer works with the entire dataset. Low level RFI which may only show up in the final product is of concern. Future arrays may have too much data to allow RFI mitigation predicated on the entire dataset. The ASKAP, for example, needs to complete the processing on-the-fly, when in high- resolution spectral mode. RFI mitigation. Groningen, 2010 Conclusions The prospects look good at the low-frequency (LOFAR) end of the spectrum. The issue is less clear at SKA frequencies and above. A number of niche areas, such as VLBI and pulsars, look tractable. RFI mitigation.

In the first reading we hear this weekend, Abraham provides a model for faithful living. He was willing to accept God's call to leave his homeland and go and make his home in another land. And he was not even told where he was headed. Yet he was willing to follow God's invitation, trusting that God would show him the way and tell him when he had arrived. In the second reading, St. Paul reminds us that we will have hardships along the way, as Abraham did, but we have strength provided by God to overcome them. When we have doubts whether Jesus can guide us and provide for our needs, we can rely on what we hear in the Gospel. God the Father during the Transfiguration says, "Listen to him." Christ himself encourages us, "Rise, and do not be afraid." So let us indeed begin now to follow the path God leads us along, unafraid to use the resources he has given us, on our own spiritual journey as servants of the Lord. Yes, trusting is tough.

Finance Council The Parish Finance Council provides expertise and consultation through financial analysis, planning and policy development to aid the Pastor and Parish Administrator in the administration of parish goods: that is, parish financial resources, buildings and grounds. The work of the Finance Council supports the mission of the Church and the particular way that this mission is expressed in the parish pastoral plan and priorities as developed by the Parish Pastoral Council. The Parish Finance Council is a consultative body which unites laity and clergy in a community of prayer, leadership, service, and financial planning. The Pastor consults the Finance Council on major financial concerns which affect the life and mission of the parish. As a consultative body, the recommendations of the Parish Finance Council bear considerable weight. The Council is not a body which makes binding decisions nor is it an advisory group which gives advice that can be readily ignored. The Council's recommendations deal with financial plans and policies and not with ordinary matters of day-to-day administration.

All that glitters is not necessarily 100% pure gold. Gold dore is a semi-pure alloy, which is a mixture of different kinds of metals. How you report gold dore in the Automated Export System (AES) depends on the purity of gold.
Classifying Gold Dore
Using our Schedule B Search Engine, the chart below shows Schedule B number 7108.12.1020 as the classification for gold dore. In the Description column, you will see Dore (gold content). In the Unit of Quantity column you will notice Au g. Au is the symbol for gold. This means that filers should only report the amount of gold grams (Au g) exported.
Reporting Gold Dore in the AES
How would you report gold dore in the AES based on the breakdown of metals on the commercial invoice below? Based on the information provided, report the gold content quantity (1,230,000 Au g) and total value of the shipment ($52 million). To figure out the unit price of the gold, you divide the value by the quantity of the gold. In this case, the unit price is $42 per Au g.
However, if you had reported the gold content as all of the metal quantities combined (1,500,000 grams), the unit price would appear to be about $35 per Au g, much less than the actual price of the gold per gram. As you can see, a small filing error can make a big difference and impact the data that we publish.

Exactly one year after Apple store enthusiasts heard whispers of a future store in the Frankfurt (Germany) suburbs, a job listing has confirmed the location as the Main Taunus Zentrum shopping mall. As first spotted by Macerkopf.de, the future store will be about 15 minutes west of city center Frankfurt in the small town of Sulzbach along the A66 main highway. Based on standard construction schedules, the store could open in February 2012.

PoliticsEgypt's army asserts constitutional control Ruling military council general says new parliament not representative and will not draft new constitution on its own. 09 Dec 2011 00:03 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Egypt Egypt's military rulers have forcefully asserted their role in the country's uncertain revolutionary politics, declaring their intention to preside over the drafting of a new constitution and insisting that the early results of parliamentary voting do not represent Egyptian society. In a rare briefing with foreign journalists on Wednesday, army General Mukhtar al-Mulla said that parliament's ability to choose a 100-member assembly that will draft the new constitution will be constrained by military-approved "parameters", according to media reports. Just a day after the first round of parliamentary voting finished, delivering Islamists roughly two-thirds of the available seats, Mulla, a member of the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), said the country's new parliament could not be broadly representative of Egypt because elections are occurring "in such unstable conditions". "What we are seeing is free and fair elections ... but they certainly don't represent all sectors of society," Mulla said, according to the Guardian. He said that the military would appoint an advisory civilian council to act as an intermediary between the SCAF, parliament and the cabinet - which itself was appointed by the military. All four groups would have to agree on the composition of the 100-member constitutional assembly, Mulla said. "There will be an agreement beforehand on the form of this constituent assembly between the cabinet, the advisory committee for the military council, and the parliament," he told reporters. Showdown with the Brotherhood Mulla's remarks prompted immediate reaction from the Muslim Brotherhood, whose Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) is estimated to have won nearly half of the available seats in the just-finished round of parliamentary voting, the first of three for the lower house. Brotherhood spokesman Mahmoud Ghozlan said his organisation would boycott the civilian advisory council, since it would constrain the powers of parliament. Mohamed el-Beltagy, a high-ranking Brotherhood member and FJP candidate, said the military was trying to control the formation of the constituent assembly. Live Box 2011111713397233347 "At any rate, the cabinet or the new consultative council can only offer suggestions that parliament has a right to dismiss and is not bound by," he told the Reuters news agency. In his briefing, Mulla implied that the elected parliament would not be representative enough to draft a document that needed to last "for many years to come". "We have a lot of other factions such as workers, farmers, engineers and doctors who are not in parliament," he said, according to the New York Times. His statements were the latest broadside in a crucial political battle between the SCAF and the Brotherhood, whose Freedom and Justice Party won roughly 48 per cent of the seats available in the first round of voting for the People's Assembly. The Nour Party, which represents a fundamentalist Salafi constituency, won about 19 per cent. It was not the first time a member of the SCAF has said that parliament will have limited powers. In late November, General Mamdouh Shahin said parliament would not be able to pick the ministers in a new government. Egypt's current constitution, drafted by a military-approved committee and approved by referendum in March, gives the military that power, as well as the power to convene and dissolve parliament. For its part, the Brotherhood - confident in its electoral chances - supports a strong parliament and has said for months that the majority should choose the new government. Insider at interior ministry Also on Wednesday, interim Prime Minister Kamal el-Ganzouri, selected by the SCAF, announced a new cabinet after nearly two weeks of delay. Ganzouri took power after the previous interim government led by Essam Sharaf resigned in the wake of violence between protesters and riot police in Tahrir Square that claimed dozens of lives. Ganzouri selected an insider to lead the important interior ministry, which protesters have demanded be reformed in the wake of ousting President Hosni Mubarak in February. Interior ministry riot police and security agents are blamed for some of the worst human rights abuses under Mubarak's reign. Mohammed Ibrahim Yusuf, who previously led the Giza security directorate for the ministry, will assume the top position. Foreign Minister Mohammed Kamel Amr and 12 other ministers were retained from Sharaf's government. The SCAF announced that it had granted Ganzouri "presidential powers," giving him greater control to run the country, but no oversight of the armed forces or judiciary.Source: Agencies

This is an okay mascara. It gives me really natural looking lashes. It clumps sometimes and smudges on me by the end of the day. I think the brush is actually great. It's somewhat flimsy but it applies the mascara well. It doesn't give you volume but gives you some length. It's a bit hard to get off also. Probably won't be repurchasing though.

Age: 44-55 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium Hair: Brunette Eyes: Brown
Kind of surprised by the low ratings on this one. I have very sensitive eyes, and this is one of the few mascaras I can wear without irritation. I like that it doesn't clump, doesn't flake, and comes off easily at the end of the day with a little cleanser. I have pretty good lashes to begin with, and this adds some nice definition -- not wild drag queen lashes, so if you're looking for that, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a good, basic, lengthening mascara you can wear day to day, this one's worth a try.

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Dry, Fair Hair: Other, Wavy, Fine Eyes: Hazel
I use this mascara because I love having lengthy eyelashes. This mascara does just that. It doesn't clump my lashes at all. It provides some volume, but if you're looking for a good deal of volume, this is not the right mascara for you. It's more focused on length, which it definitely provides. The color is brilliant and very black. The formula is more wet than creamy, but not wet enough to be a problem. The wand separates my lashes well and coats them quite evenly. The only problem I have with it is the fact that it's way too flexible. It's not stiff or sturdy at all. It bends if you don't put it back in the tube slowly and straight on, and if you're not paying attention, it can miss the tube and flick onto your hands and fingers. Other than that, I love this mascara.

If I had gone by the reviews, I would not have purchased this because I like 4 lippie products and I generally avoid Maybelline mascara just because of not so great lash. That said, I really like this mascara. For me, it lengthens and defines and can go from light and natural to a bit of drama. No one is going to think you're wearing falsies when you wear this so it's not for that kind of look but for non-clumpy definition with a bit of length & a smidge of volume, this works nicely and also seems to hold curl or at least doesn't flatten them. It has not smudged, flaked or run on me and I've sweated and be rained on, I use the non- waterproof version as I'm not a fan of WP.
The flexible brush head is not my favorite, I usually prefer bristles, but isn't overly bendy and the tip is narrow enough to get to the little lashes but you'll probably have a little clean up.
Removal is easy, it melts with a good bit of water and does raccoon but removes completely with any remover or cleanser. I use Philosophy's original Purity.
This is one of my go-to mascaras.

I have been using Maybelline mini brush waterproof mascara for years. Lately it seems I need something more since my lashes seem to be not as thick or long anymore. I tried Maybelline Define-A-Lash Lengthening mascara (advertises zero clumps, sleek definition, sensuous length) It does clump a bit and my lashes were not lengthened.

Excellent layering mascara, lengthens well. Not much in the way of volume. Doesn't clump if you don't zig zag as you separate. Top with a volumizing mascara (Dior) and you'll have a set of peepers TDF.

This product is awesome! It's never ever clumped on me at all. It does a great job of separating my lashes. It gives a great natural definition of the eyes. Nothing too dramatic. Love this stuff!

Works in a pinch, somewhat clumpy but less so after I added a few drops saline to the bottle, doesn't add much for volume or length. I particularly didn't like the way the bond between the wand and the applicator was "loose" and I had to be extra careful when putting it back in the tube or else it would bend and either not go in without leaving a ton of product on the top, or completely "pop" out of the hole and onto my hand. Not fun. Doesn't help their case as they aren't cruelty free. Not a deal breaker, but a degrading factor. Wouldn't repurchase.

Dr. Bobby Goldberg's Ratings
This was my first visit to Dr. Goldberg. He is THE BEST! I went to my appointment expecting a minor filling, but found out that I needed an unexpected root canal. With any other dentist, I would have wanted to leap out of the chair, but Dr. Goldberg made me feel so comfortable and did such a great job explaining the issue and putting me at ease, that I went ahead and had it done right then and there! Dr. Goldberg was so caring - he explained every step as he was performing the root canal so that I never felt scared or worried. He made me feel so safe and made sure that the entire process was pain free. I didn't feel a thing! He made a root canal as easy and painless as a filling. I especially appreciate how he took the time to sit down with me and thoroughly explain the issue with my tooth. Thank you so much Dr. Goldberg for banishing my bad beliefs about root canals and for accepting me as your new patient!

I have been going to Dr Bobby for over 15 years. I have always had a fear of Dentist as I had a bad dentist when I was a child. Bobby will go out of his way to make sure everything is painless. He takes the time to explain what he will be doing, suggest ways to save teeth and will go out of his way to fix any problems. He gone as far as taking in my son on an emergency basis when he cracked his tooth playing hockey. My wife who has even a bigger fear of dentist has had 2 teeth pulled by Bobby with no pain. He is a excellent Dentist and have refered many friends, family or co-workers to give him a try! His whole staff are great as well. Thanks Bobby!

This was my first visit and the first time to a dentist in 4-5 years. Everyone was very kind and pleasant. I had a problem with some pain and found out that I had a bad wisdom tooth. They took it out right away and I never felt a thing. They made sure that I was frozen and that I was comfortable. I am so very impressed and happy that they accepted me as a new patient. Thank you!

AWESOME!! Dr. Goldberg is without question the best dentist in Manitoba possibly Canada. His technical knowledge is matched by his interest in a pain and stress free dental experience. He takes the time to explain in detail the problems and solutions. He will save a tooth that all other dentists would extract. He is caring, professional and efficient. I will never go to another clinic and will refer everyone i know to him. I have paid significantly more for far less successful dentistry. I have experienced pain and low quality work from one dentist that at one point was even redone and my money refunded after going to the dental association. I have been to at least 15 dentists over 40 years and i speak from experience! He is the level that all medical professionals should strive for. I thank Dr. Goldberg and his top quality clinic for restoring my smile and my faith in the dental profession!

This is the first time I came to see Dr Goldberg. I am impressed by his skill. The reason I came here is because none of my other dentists could do the work. For Dr Goldberg it seemed a piece of cake. One of my bad tooth needed to be pulled out. He said he pulled out 15000 teeth and this tooth was easily taken out by him, not much blood. I am very happy and will go back in one week for another treatment.

The most amazing experience I had, this doctor is a gem in this city. I went in not knowing what to expect as I got his name from the internet. I had a root canal in really bad shape and most recommendations I got was that it needed to be wrench out but I was desperate to save it so that's what brought me to Dr. Goldberg. I live nowhere near this place and must admit I was skepitcal as to what he would be able to do for me as my own dentist of > 10yrs exhausted all options. To make a long story short, Dr. Goldberg did wonders and I could actually say that he went above and beyond to try to salvage my tooth. Most dentist would have gave in but Dr. Goldberg actually show lots of enthusiasm to the challenge. He's earn my respect & business, I am not one to jump ships especially after 10+ years w/ my dentist and don't plan to unless my dentist retires but I have two kids who will be going to Dr. Goldberg from here on. THANK YOU DR.GOLDBERG, CONTINUE DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST!

I have been a patient of Dr. Goldberg for over 15 years. He has administered several different treatments for me and his knowledge, technique, concern and friendly demeanor has always benefited me tremendously. He has always been very punctual as I have not spent wasted time waiting for my appointed time for treatment. His staff is also reflected very positively in my rating. :)

At the end of E. Bay is the Battery and on your left is Charleston harbor where from its walkway you can see Fort Sumter (1st shots of the Civil War) and on your right are HUGE antebellum mansions. It's a Must SEE.

Chill out at the Battery
If you're looking for a beautiful place in Charleston to relax, try the Battery. It's a park at the very southern tip of Charleston. You can grab a piece of bench for some shade, see some of the best monuments to Charleston's past (and what a past Charleston has), and take a slow walk around Charleston's waterfront. See Charleston's southern architecture and lots of colorful flowers as well. Bring your camera - there are plenty of pictures to be taken. Spend a few minutes there, or maybe have a picnic under a tree. The Battery is the perfect place to chill out.
The Battery
The southern point of Charleston is the Battery Area, a tip of the city where ages ago cannons fired at British Ships as Naval commanders watched from balconies on many of the still standing houses here. One of the more beautiful streets in America, this preserved area is a photographers and historians playground. The White Point Gardens are a must see, along with the tip where Battery Park is... it is said that nearly 150 years ago the citizens of Charleston watched as the first shot of the Civil War was fired across the harbor... and that ghosts of Revolutionary Soldiers haunt the area today... this is a must see stop in this city for many, many reasons....

Battery Park
The park is located at the south end of town and is along the waterfront. There are several reminders of the civil war on display such as cannons and this statue. There is a gazebo as well located there. The walk from battery park to the main pier is very interesting as there are several old houses along the way. Also, this area has parking along the waterfront and so if you are having trouble finding a spot downtown, perhaps try down here.
Battery Park
At the end of the Battery is Battery Park. It's a cute park with a big white gazebo. Make sure you take a picture of you next to one of the old cannons around the perimeter of the park. Look out at Fort Sumter and stare in awe at the mansions next door.

Other great houses on the battery are the Roper Mansion, a 500 lb. piece of cannon is lodged in the house's attic, notice the great rope design around the door.

Battery Park, Charleston
Old Town Charleston is a beautiful city. Battery Park, along side Charleston Bay, is the perfect place to relax, watch people, enjoy grand old houses, and watch the shipping traffic come in and out of Chareston.
The Battery
If you are in Charleston, you MUST visit The Battery! The view is breathtaking! The walk is almost to describe -- you feel like you step back at least 100 years back! The houses (I should say mansions) are gorgeous!
Battery Park--Distant View of Fort Sumter
Battery Park* was just a hop, skip and a jump from our B&B, Two Meeting Street. From it's front porch we could see the park and the river beyond it.
Those wishing to enjoy a morning or early evening walk would find themselves here, as some shade was provided and a nice breeze from the water brought some relief from the humidity. We visited in early September and the temps were still in the 90's, so any relief was appreciated!
The park is dotted with tall trees, punctuated by a couple of historic monuments and affords a view of Ft. Sumter and the Sullivan Island Lighthouse. Also, a couple of the islands edging the city: James and Johns. Trendy Kiawah island lies off in the distance, as well.
When the Yanks were coming, Confederates blew up their ammunitions in this spot to prevent these from being used against them, while spicier history tells of Pirates being hung here.

28 September 2011 - 10:21 AM
I'm hoping to get an Indoor Rev for Christmas *wink wink, nudge nudge* After watching the Singapore vids JB posted, the Indoor looks like the way to go when there is 0-wind outdoors.
my order of attack goes 0-2 mph indoor rev, 3-6 mph Zen, 7+ mph 1.5 series, 12+ vented. Sounds a bit routine now that i look at it on paper but for the most part if there is hardly any wind at all or no wind or some swirly light wind the indoor flies great outside and the new frame they come with is fatter than the old style so they are made quite a bit stronger. If the winds are light to steady, ill get the 1.5 out and see what i can do but if i struggle with keeping it aloft, then i pull out the trusty Zen and it never lets me down. The Zen flys in some pretty bad wind conditions in my own expierence and handles diffrently but much the same. I was uncertain about my Zen at first but it has been my go to kite in horrible wind condtions and never dissapoints me. Like john said to me...." I am glad you found some Zen".

Hi badinfluence-
Sounds like a great festival.
You said lots of stacks...I'm pretty sure that this is Lee Sedgwick's "playground". It's always special to watch the best pilots in the world in action. Lee is, definitely, one of the best!
Next year, please post this festival a lot sooner to give folks a chance to decide and make plans. Thanks!
I will take some video of Lee to post for all, if i can "coax" him to get a stack out. A few weeks ago when i went up, the winds were too high to fly a stack so he was kite surfing instead. Supposed to be 7 mph winds which is looking good! Again, sorry for the last minute. I am glad to see there is an interest which if planned right could make for more organized flys in the upcoming months with some long distance friends!
Here is Lee kite surfing a few weeks ago......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro1d67I1cKU
