Description This invention relates to entertainment facilities and, more specifically, to a tunnel characterized by an endless conveyor bottom floor, a modular construction, a plurality of cameras and movie projection screens, and sound-reproducing systems for the better enjoyment of visitors. There are disclosed in the prior art portable structures for engagement therewithin by a number of persons. In the U.S. patent to Ewart, issued Mar. 17, 1959 and having U.S. Pat. No. 2,877,508, a portable building is shown, composed of interlocked panels 12 and 20-24. The panels are locked one to the others by resilient engagement of a tongue 31 along one edge of a panel into a groove member 35 when the structure is assembled providing a downwardly directed lapped joint. Lifting eyes 13a-16a are specifically provided, wherein the building would be suspended from an helicopter and transported in the air. There are no specific features inside the building for entertainment or the like audio-visual representations. In Smothers--U.S. Pat. No. 3,765,133, issued Oct. 16, 1973, the portable structure is a movie theatre. A movie projector 38 is provided for entertaining youngsters sitting on fixed benches 26. The theatre cannot be dismantled. Improvements in such above-noted structures would be welcomed, especially dismantling structures having entertainment features incorporated therein. The essential object of the invention is to provide a tunnel structure capable of accommodating a number of persons in total audio-visual environment. An object of the invention is to provide a tunnel of the above type, which is of modular construction for ease of transportation and with audio-visual entertainment means embedded within the wall thereof. A further object of the invention is to provide the above-noted tunnel structure with a conveyor belt bottom floor, for maximum visitor throughput. Another object of the invertion is to provide the above-noted structure with air inlets and air outlets for comfort and safety of visitors. Other features will become apparent in the detailed description of the drawings. There is accordingly disclosed a tunnel, of generally circular cross-section, and including a main corridor and a conveyor-belt-driven bottom floor. The corridor inner wall comprises a plurality of translucent screens associated with means for providing images to persons within the corridor. The enclosure may comprise two doors to slidingly close each end thereof. The doors may also comprise translucent screens and with image-producing means, the screens inwardly extendable from the doors through telescopic arms. The enclosure is made of a modular construction, including a series of frame members and a number of boxes which may be dismantled for facilitating transportation thereof. Each box has an inner side constituting the screen. Within each box, there is the image-projecting equipment. Air outlets are provided in the boxes, for evacuation of heated air from therewithin, and in the boxes and the doors for the exit of air from the closed corridor. Air inlets are provided adjacent the floor for allowing fresh air therein when the doors are closed. The corridor walls may also comprise sound-reproducing systems, such as of the stereophonic type. FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views of the tunnel of the invention, with both end entrances being opened; FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the tunnel of the invention, with the front end entrance being closed, and the rear end entrance being shown as opened in dotted lines and closed in ful lines; FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the tunnel; FIG. 5 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view, taken along line 5--5 of FIG. 4, of the tunnel front end portion, with the entrance thereof being shown opened in full lines and closed in dotted lines; FIG. 6 is a vertical section of the tunnel, also showing in cross-section the projection boxes on one side thereof; FIG. 7 is an elevation of the rear end face of the tunnel, the end door being partly taken away for clarity purposes; FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken from line 8--8 of either of FIG. 2 or 6; FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the adjacent portions of two coplanar projection screens within the tunnel and taken along line 9--9 of FIG. 5; FIG. 10 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of one embodiment of the projection boxes joining means, taken within circle 10 of FIG. 6 and along line 10--10 of FIG. 5; and FIG. 11 is another embodiment of the joining means of FIG. 10. We will first refer to FIGS. 1 to 4 of the drawings. The tunnel, denoted 20, is illustrated as comprising a plurality of distinct adjacent boxes 22 arranged concentrically and longitudinally co-axially to form the tunnel. The boxes 22 define an inner space or inner corridor 24, of such large dimensions as to accommodate a number of persons standing in a row therewithin. The tunnel 20 also includes front and rear end doors 26, 28, respectively, which are illustrated as being of octogonal cross-section, and outwardly extendable therefrom over outwardly-extending portions of the tunnel ground-spaced bottom floor 30, at 30A, 30B, respectively. Access to and exit from floor portions 30A, 30B, respectively, is facilitated by stairs 32, and/or ramps 34 for physically-handicapped individuals, which stairs and ramps may also be arranged on alternate sides at both ends thereof (see FIGS. 1 and 2). The tunnel 20 of the invention may also include a foremost information and control desk 36 frontwardly located at the front end door 26. The desk 36 is roughly cupshaped, with an inwardly-extending leg 38 short of door 26, for allowing entry therewithin by an officer in charge. The officer will sit on a seat 40. The control explains why the entrance into the corridor 24 is preferably made at the entry near control desk 36, inwardly of front end door 26. As shown in FIG. 6, each box 22 includes an inner translucent screen 42 forcing the inner wall, an outer wall 44 provided with an access door 44A, side walls 46 and end walls 48. Each box has a rectangular shape with a generally square cross-section, as shown in FIG. 6. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 6, it is seen that the boxes are disposed in end-to-end relationship to form longitudinal rows along the tunnel, and also transverse rows of, for instance, seven boxes which confer to the corridor 24 an octogonal cross-section in association with floor 30, which defines the eighth side of the octogon, as clearly shown in FIG. 6. The boxes 22 are supported by upstanding arch-shaped support frames 50, preferably of one-piece construction and definin9 seven mutually-inclined sections conforming to the orientation of the boxes in a transverse row. Frames 50 have bottom extensions 52 at both lower ends, which are removably pinned at 53 to upstanding brackets 54 fixed to a base plate 56, which extends the entire length of the tunnel 20 and is directly supported on the ground G by adjustable foot pads 58. There is a supporting frame 50 disposed between each transverse row of boxes 22 and at both ends of the tunnel 20. FIGS. 6 and 8 show how the support frame 50 is sandwiched between the end walls 48 of two adjacent boxes 22, which are removably secured to opposite sides of frame 50 by quick locking pins 60, which are accessible through access door 44A. FIGS. 5 and 6 show that the floor 30 of the tunnel 20 consists of the top run of a belt conveyor 62 operated by a motor and speed reducing unit 64. The belt conveyor assembly 62 is supported by a framework 68 upstanding from base plate 56, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, with the top run of the belt conveyor at the level of front end floor 30A and rear end floor 30B. This level also substantially coincides with the lowermost portions of the inner translucent screens 42 of the lowermost longitudinal rows of boxes on each side of the belt conveyor 62. Transparent guard rails 70 upstand from each side of the belt conveyor to protect against breakage of the projection screens 42 of the lowermost longitudinal rows of boxes 22. As shown in FIG. 6, each box 22 houses an image projection assembly including an image projector 72 and a reflecting mirror 74, which projects an image onto the translucent screens 42. Similarly, each door 26 and 28 may be provided with image-producing means, as shown in FIG. 5. Projectors 76 are mounted within the door and project an image on a transverse screen 78. This screen may be divided in, for instance, four sections, as suggested in FIGS. 2 and 7, each receiving the image of a projector 76. The entire screen assembly 78 is mounted at the end of a sleeve 80 which is arranged for telescopic movement within and out of the door, this movement being obtained through endless screws 82 actuated in rotation by an endless conveyor chain 83 powered by a bottom motor 84. Each door is slidable between opened and closed position, as shown in FIG. 5, being mounted on a guided roller system 86 carried by the framework of each floor section 30A and 30B. Stereophonic sound may be provided within the tunnel through loudspeakers mounted on each side of screen 78 of the doors, as shown at 88 in FIG. 7. FIG. 9 shows how the framework for each box 22 is constituted of standard, extruded aluminum frame members 90 providing arrow-shape radial stems 91 which are used to secure the end panels to the framework and which are also used to mount the translucent screens 42 in a shock-proof rubber strip 92 which defines an outwardly-projecting lip 94 contacting the lip of an adjacent box of the same longitudinal row, thereby defining a light-tight joint between the two adjacent boxes, with a minimum of dark space at the junction of the two boxes. A similar arrangement is shown in FIG. 10, namely: rubber strips 92 with contacting lips 94 at the junction of two boxes in the same transverse row. If it is desired to have a still narrower dark junction between the projection screens 42 of these two boxes, the embodiment shown in FIG. 11 is used, whereby the inner screens 42 of two adjacent boxes of a given transverse row of such boxes are maintained together by a connector 96 secured to the end of a T-shape bracket 98, the transverse legs of which are secured in turn to the frame members 90 of the two adjacent boxes. The projection boxes 22 must be ventilated. To this end, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, each transverse row of boxes 22 is provided with a lower duct 100 providing an air inlet 102 at ground level, with duct 100 mounting electric fan 104, which circulates the air through the several boxes of a transverse row in series for each half-part of the tunnel, the air circulating, in accordance with arrows 106, through side wall openings of each box, with said side wall openings in communication with removable conduits 108 between each box. The air is evacuated through a top fan 110 (see FIG. 5) through the outlet 112 made in the outer wall 44 of the top longitudinal row of boxes, as shown in FIG. 4. A suitable ventilator system for the projectors 76 in the two doors 26,28, not shown, is also provided. Since these doors can take a closed position with people inside the tunnel, it is important that suitable ventilation of the tunnel be provided. For this purpose, each transverse row of boxes 22 is provided with a bottom air inlet duct 116 (see the right-hand side of FIG. 6), this duct having an air fan 118 for circulating air through the tunnel. This air is exhausted through the roof of the tunnel (see FIG. 5) through narrow slits 120 communicating with a funnel-shape air duct 122 at the junction of two boxes of a longitudinal row, duct 122 being provided with air fan 124 which evacuates the air through air outlet 126 at the top of the tunnel, as shown in FIG. 4. Similarly, the top portion of each door 26, 28 is provided with an air exhausting duct 128 having a fan 130 with an air inlet 132 communicating with the inside of the tunnel, and an air outlet 134 at the top of the door, as shown in FIG. 5. FIG. 5 shows also that an emergency light 136 can be mounted in one of the boxes 22. The audio-visual tunnel of the invention can be operated in two ways, either with the doors 26 and 28 in opened position with the conveyor belt 62 in operation, so that the visitors will move through the tunnel by being nearly completely surrounded by images projected through screens 42 and also in a sound environment. The other way, with the conveyor belt 62 stopped, a certain number of persons can enter the tunnel; then the doors 26, 28 are closed and the door projector screens 78 extended within the tunnel, if necessary, so that the audio-visual environment will be still more complete. This tunnel is designed to be quickly assembled and disassembled and to be easily transportable from one location to another. That is why all the boxes are removably connected to the support frames 50 and the latter easily disconnectable from the base plate 56 which supports the conveyor belt arrangement. Also, as shown in FIG. 6, the electric power required for the projectors 72 in each box 22, is supplied by quick disconnector electric wires 138 which might run through the connector ducts 108.

A beautiful location overlooking a nature reserve
Posted Jun 14, 2014Pros: It was a beautiful quiet retreat on Antigua and the accommodation was well planned with quiet air-con. The balcony was good for viewing bird life.
Cons: This accommodation does not need improvement and is well managed by Gabriela and Douglas. Beach towels and chairs are provided and kitchen is equipped
Location: It is close to a beach in a quiet location ten minutes drive from St Johns. A car is essential to enjoy the many beautiful beaches and to visit sites.
We wanted to avoid all inclusive hotel accommodation and the superior cottage at Yepton Estate was an excellent choice. We stayed for two weeks and were impressed with the assistance given by the owners Gabriela and Douglas. On arrival they offered us cool drinks and a bottle of wine and accompanied us on an informative shopping trip. They were helpful and enthusiastic hosts and Douglas gave us a detailed briefing on the sites and beaches that we could visit when our rental car was delivered. We took advantage of using the car hire company recommended and arranged for us by Gabriela. We also visited places to eat which they favoured. The free use of a mobile phone with contact numbers, if we had any problems, was a helpful gesture. Douglas has a special interest in the railways used in the former sugar cane industry and it was a privilege to view the restoration activity which he has been promoting. It will be interesting to read his planned book on this aspect of Antiguan history. On the history of the Island it was also good to see Nelsons Dockyard at English Harbour and the forts and defences established around the Island as part of the British defence of the Caribbean. We had an enjoyable experience and will retain happy memories of a very comfortable stay at Yepton Estate and a bonus of enjoying a wide range of bird life in the lagoon.

Awesome cottages for the independent travelers!!!
Posted Jun 3, 2014Pros: The best part for us was that it was secluded and quiet. We also felt very welcomed and at home since they provide everything you need at home!
Cons: We can't think of anything that needs to be changed.
Location: Beaches are all over the island! We recommend taking a trip to Nelson's Dockyard and English Harbor. Eat at Sheer Rocks, and go on a booze cruise!
We stayed in the cottages for one week. It was very comfortable and came with everything you need. They even included an umbrella in case of rain! The hosts took us to the grocery store our first night and also went over a map of the island with us when our rental car came. The location is close to town, but also secluded and away from the crowds of the big resorts. It is set off of a small lake and just a short walk to the beach. Gabby and Douglas were the best hosts we could have asked for. They were very knowledgable about the island and all of the best sites and experiences. They really took care to make sure we had nothing to worry about.

Wonderful place to stay
Posted May 7, 2014Pros: It is like a home away from home.
Location: There are some nice beaches very close by and Fort Barrington is around 15 minutes walk.
If you are seeking more from Antigua than an all-inclusive package resort then this is the place to stay. We have stayed in so many places around the world but never met hosts as enthusiastic and helpful as Gabriela and Douglas and nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. They will personally make sure that you get what you want out of the trip by advising and helping you with everything such as restaurants and when and where to go to get the best out of each attraction or site. When we first arrived Gabriela took as to the big supermarket in town and explained how to drive around St John's. Douglas then gave us really detailed and useful information on driving around the island. We were then provided with a mobile phone free of charge so that we can call them up if we have any questions or problems. Douglas is extremely knowledgeable about the fascinating history of the island and in particular is the expert on Antigua's former railway system. As a further bonus, Yepton Estate itself is a beautiful place to stay and we enjoyed just sitting on the porch watching various birds in the morning while eating breakfast and just generally relaxing.

We would go back tomorrow!
Posted Sep 2, 2013Pros: Secluded, quiet and peaceful. Super well equipped cottages, walking distance to lovely beaches and the BBQ was the icing on the cake for us!
Location: Doug's virtual tour of the island told us everything we needed to know! Especially some great eating places in amazing locations!!
Fantastic place, fantastic hosts and an all round fantastic holiday experience, definitely to be recommended!! The glowing reviews attracted us to this place and we were sooo pleased when they all turned out to be well founded. Gabriella and Doug's friendly and relaxed but at the same time very efficient help in organising our trip was invaluable and definitely helped us get the best out of our holiday! I've already been recommending this place to all my friends!

Yepton estates, the perfect place in Antigua
Posted Aug 23, 2013Pros: Privacy, location, BEST HOSTS EVER!
Cons: Screening in the porches would be nice
Location: Gaby and Douglas give you a great map, complete with their favorite spots marked and advice about getting around. Beach, restaurants, water, and sun..
From the moment we contacted Gabrielle and Douglas of Yepton Estates we felt completely at ease. They take care of every detail of your stay in Antigua, offering as much advice or privacy that you request. It is the perfect getaway for a couple or a few friends. We were grateful for the peace,privacy, and well equipped cottage. While a self catered cottage is not for everyone (it wouldn't have worked if our 4 kids had been with us) we found everything we needed. I can't say enough about this place, but many thanks to Gaby and Douglas for giving us a vacation to love.

Kind of like walking down the street with a tune that won't go away (the song perfect world does not belong to me)
I can hear the tune in my head I hum slow and steady Keeping in perfect rhythm Mouthing the words While the song takes control I start to mumble the words They seem to flow out of me .......If we add the fractions .................love will figure ........To one perfect world
My arms start to spread out My fingers moving in an unknown dance My body spining These words filling me with joy With hopes and dreams
Each tempo Every rhyme Those smooth notes They conquer me Taking me to its perfect world
It started nothing more than hum Slowing it comes to a mumble Magicly is slips out to a whisper Then the words come to life And turns to singing
Slowly it goes back to a whisper Than a mumble And finally a hum As the words retreat back to me None is just where one pretends and won...ders Counting for a perfect world to mind...us

Dialogues in Diversity: The Gendered Politics of Food
April 21, 2014
Relationships with food are complex, and food production and consumption of meals can be deeply connected to notions of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, class, and culture. Gender, race, class, age, and mobility can also shape one's access to food and the kinds of food available. The Gendered Politics of Food dialogue will examine how food and food systems are connected to issues of social injustice, particularly the role that women play in food production and consumption.
Dr. Cecelia Herles, Assistant Director for UGA's Institute of Women's Studies will lead the dialogue. The dialogue will be at the Tate Student Center, in the Grand Hall on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 from 12:00-1:00 pm. Lunch is provided and prior registration is required.

This article discusses the best choices for finish flooring to use over a concrete floor slab intended to provide direct solar heat gain and heat storage. Accompanying text are reprinted/adapted/excerpted with permission from Solar Age Magazine - editor Steven Bliss. Our page top photograph shows a well-designed radiant-heat floor slab being constructed in Two Harbors, Minnesota where it gets too cold to fool around. Also see FLOOR, CONCRETE SLAB POURED FINISH, and see THERMAL MASS in buildings and also PASSIVE SOLAR FLOOR TILES, PHASE CHANGE and THERMAL MASS WALL DESIGN and see these thermal mass articles: THERMAL MASS in buildings and THERMAL MASS in UPSTAIRS as well as the passive solar design articles organized at SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS.

What Finish Flooring to Use to Cover a Concrete Floor SlabThe question-and-answer article below paraphrases, quotes-from, updates, and comments an original article from Solar Age Magazine and written by Steven Bliss. What Flooring Materials are Best to Use Over a Concrete Floor SlabQuestion: I'm in the process of building a home. Are there any floor-covering products I can install over a pre cast concrete second floor (see THERMAL MASS in UPSTAIRS) and a cast-in-place poured concrete first floor slab (see THERMAL MASS in buildings). I want a resilient (soft clay, brick?) finish floor that will yet retain the thermal mass properties of the concrete slab below. I understand the necessity for thermal mass [in my passive solar design home] but I would like to find a more pliable floor covering [than ceramic tile]. Our photograph (left) shows a passive solar brick interior floor, constructed over a poured concrete slab. This building is on the Vassar College Campus in Poughkeepsie, NY. Answer: Assuming you are interested in using these floors for direct-gain passive solar heat storage, we see two possible approaches:
Either of these approaches will allow the finish floor covering to transfer heat into the concrete floor slab which itself has a high heat storage capacity. We know of no soft floor covering with high heat capacity, but the second approach shows some promise. A 1980's study by industry researchers concluded that any floor covering whose thermal conductance exceeded about 10 BTU/hr-ft2 would not impair the thermal storage capability of the concrete slab. This eliminates using even the thinnest floor carpeting (whose conductance C is about 0.8 BTU/hr-ft2), and some vinyl floor coverings. But this criteria permitted use of vinyl-asbestos floor tiles (C = 43 BTU/hr-ft2) until that product was discontinued in buildings, and it probably permits use of the modern replacements of those products. It also permits use of sheet vinyl flooring on felt backing (C = 21.2 BTU/hr-ft2). Beyond C=10 flooring products, increasing the absorptive does more than increasing the conductivity. Light flooring materials absorb less solar radiation (heat) and are thus less efficient (as much as 40 percent less for pastel colors). Also, it is important to install the finish floor covering so that it makes a very good thermal contact through a continuous bond over the floor slab. Low-density brick and other "soft" masonry materials are not ordinarily considered resilient. If they are well-bonded to the slab, however, they will not reduce its thermal performance much. Our photograph (above) shows ceramic tile installed over a concrete floor slab intended to provide both passive solar gain and heat storage as well as delivering heat from a backup in-floor radiant heating system. Readers constructing an insulated slab with radiant floor heating, whether by passive solar or any other means, should not fail to read RADIANT HEAT FLOOR MISTAKES. Also see FLOOR, CONCRETE SLAB POURED FINISH where we describe pour-on finish flooring for use over thermal mass concrete slabs. Readers should also see POLYISOCYANURATE FOAM INSULATION, POLYISOCYANURATE FOAM BELOW SLABS, INSULATION LOCATION for PASSIVE SOLAR FLOOR SLAB and also RIGID FOAM USE INDOORS. Readers should also see FLOOR, CONCRETE SLAB CHOICES for a discussion of choice of finish floor materials to preserve use of thermal mass of a concrete floor slab. Readers interested in basement insulation improvements should also see INSULATION LOCATION for BASEMENT WALLS and BASEMENT HEAT LOSS.

Barneys New York Looking for Downtown Flagship
The Post recently reported rumors that Barneys' Chelsea Co-Op would be closing, and now it has been confirmed that the 18th St store will shut it's doors on March 1st. But have no lower Manhattan. Sources told WWD that the retailers is looking for multiple options downtown, including a potential new Co-Op flagship.
"While we have no immediate plans to replace the Chelsea store downtown, we believe that there remains significant opportunity for Barneys in downtown Manhattan to replace and expand upon this store closing, and our historic business, and are continuing to look at multiple real estate options for the medium to long term," a Barneys spokeswoman said.
Finding a flagship-sized location in Manhattan isn't going to be the easiest. To give you an idea, the former flagship at Seventh Avenue and 17th Street had 100,000 square feet of space and the current Madison Avenue flagship, between 60th Street and 61st Street, has 230,000 square feet.
We will keep you posted as the hunt for a new Barneys' Co-Op continues. In the meantime, get yourself prepped for the last 18th St. warehouse sale set for mid-February.

First pros:
- I'm very surprised how long this little bottle lasted. I put on concealer at least a few times a week every week. Yet, this lasted for almost a year. I thought the price was too expensive when I was buying it, but considering how long I used it, it's actually pretty cheap.
- I have a very pale skin and my under-eyes are always purple. It gets worse when I don't have a good night sleep. I've used concealers from L'Oreal, Max Factor, Maybelline, and Nivea. To cover the purples, Clinique worked the absolute best.
- It does moisturize and *if you put on an eye cream first*, it does not give a cakey look or emphasize the lines.
- If you want some brightness around your eyes, this isn't enough. This only works to cover the darkness around eyes and that's all.
- You have to re-apply during the day. I put on this in the morning, don't touch my eyes in the next hours, and by the afternoon, the purples under my eyes are slowly coming back. Though, keep in mind that a concealer that stayed the same all day would probably dry your skin as it would be too heavy.
I will buy this product again, but I'm also looking for something that can give a little brightness while also covering the darkness under eyes.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I had been using Clinique advanced concealer since I was 22 years old, so for a long time. At first it worked great, but it would always cake up by the end of a long day, and look really noticeable. When I started having a terrible dryness from it (they changed the formulation) I decided to try the all about eyes concealer. This did not work for me at all. It separated and creased terribly, and after 1 month separated inside the tube, so that more then half of the time I was getting a blob of oil out on my finger rather then the pigmented concealer. This is a no go for me, it wasn't quite pigmented enough, even when it stayed together.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've had this concealer for quite some time now. To start off I've never used MAC but I think I'm around an NC37-40 depending on the season. I use 05 Medium Beige. I have read that this concealer is ONLY meant for the eyes, hence its name & that the oil in it can cause breakouts. However, I'm stubborn & used it on my face. I have actually mixed it with moisturizer & smoothed it all over my face numerous times with no problem. On the eyes I love that it has enough of a peach tone to help with my horrible dark circles. But it DOES crease unfortunately, even with very little powder. I have a lot of tiny wrinkles under my eyes & all concealers tend to age me but it is what it is. I prefer this to spot conceal blemishes before applying foundation. I won't buy this again because I've found cheaper ones that do the same thing.
The best concealer I have used so far. It really lasts for a long time without overemphasizing under eye wrinkles. Good packaging because you can control how much you use.
Where do I begin? It was far too light for my complexion, looked cakey under my eyes, and my dry patches of skin in the under eye area was quite magnified. In addition to that, it made me break out like crazy. I have had better experiences with drug store brands that are a fraction of the cost. Definitely not repurchasing, and I would not recommend this.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It's great, I use it all the time for brightening up eyes and on pimples, sometimes it may crease if not powdered down, otherwise it's awesome!
I have been using this since high school... and after trying different brands i came back to this one!
Definitely moisturize...it is an instant brightening up effect for me, #2 is great for my asian skin tones.
I think this is the best under eye concealers I have been trying, it worked good for me(but I don't have very dark circles under my eyes though) , but it could seem a little dry under your eyes, if you haven't moizsturize your skin before you use it. And as a concealer I would only use it under my eyes, not on red spot.

I purchased this in an attempt to conceal dark circles under my eyes - does not work at all. Product is in a tube and settles over time, when I squeeze it out a bunch of clear liquid comes out before the concealer.
Upon application, the concealer goes on very heavy and hard to blend - gives a cakey appearance and it emphasizes my lines rather than conceal them. Because it's so hard to blend, I find that it makes my face very spotty looking.
I will not purchase again - definitely not worth the money there are better concealers out there.
More reviews by AgentMakeup007
I have a love-hate relationship with this product. I bought the shade "light petal", which has a cool salmon undertone in it that helps a little with the redness of my eye area. Other than that, I can't find good things to say about this product. It's packaging says that it's oil free, but it has a gooey consistency that's far from being suitable for my skin. It glides on smoothly the first second you apply it, but then it adheres to the skin making it hard to blend outwards. It's not full coverage at all, it almost inmediately sets into fine lines, and OH it looks greasy. It doesn't last the first half hour by itself, you'll have to set it with powder to make it look decent. If you have great problems with your under-eye area like me, you'll have to use at least two well measured layers of this concealer and setting powder to work it off. I can't wait 'til I finish this so I can go back to the Mary Kay concealer. Sheesh! If you have minor problems with your eye skin, this is for you dear.

There are many fine mechanical pencils offered on this website and I have used a
number of them. Ounce for ounce, the Pilot S3 offers the best value. An
extremely reasonable price for a durable, attractive and comfortable drafting

Verified Purchase
Color me impressed. I was a bit hesitant to order this as I'm not a huge Pilot
fan, and even less of a fan of styrene barreled pencils. Boy was I wrong on
both accounts. This is a well crafted pencil. Super smooth action, brass jaws,
and all metal tip section. Nice work there Pilot! I'm a bit frazzeled that the
mechanics are not removable from the body of the pencil (ala Graphgear 500 and
the Graphlet line) but this seems to be a growing trend these days (heck even my
Ohto PM500 is permenatly fixed in the body). The grip section is comfortable
enough and extends half way up the barrel. The barrel itself has very little
flex and seems surprisingly strong. It also tapers up to the end and feels very
nice. Pocket clip is a an odd metal thing (extend 3/4 of the way around the
barrel, but yet seems amazingly strong) THe eraser cap is super long and very
hard to pull off (no feeling one way or the other) The eraser is pretty tiny
with very little usable extra once worn down to the metal holder. On a great
note a clean out wire is included (YEA!). 4 leads are included and I can only
guess that they are Pilot's NEOX HB lead. Smooth writing and pretty consistent
shading. All in all this is a nice pencil in the economy class. This will be
going in my rotation and may be good enough to consider getting one of the
higher S line offerings.

Verified Purchase
When I initially got this pencil I was upset because I wasn't paying attention
and missed that it was .9 mm so it sat on the back burner for a while. However,
once I started to use it I have fallen in love. The weight is so balanced and
the entire body feels really steady. I'm not a fan of the lead they included
only because it seems prone to smearing. Overall I really love this pencil, even
the .9 mm lead size (which is super unusual for me).

Robert Pattinson: Parents Don't Approve of FKA Twigs?
Here's what we know for sure: Robert Pattinson took FKA Twigs home to meet his family over the holidays. What we don't know is whether or not that meeting went smoothly.
Here's what we know for sure: Robert Pattinson took FKA Twigs home to meet his family over the holidays. What we don't know is whether or not that meeting went smoothly.
File this one under "duh."
It seems Robert Pattinson's parents share the opinion of millions of female Twilight fans when it comes to Kristen Stewart:
Things are getting very serious between FKA Twigs and Robert Pattinson.
According to a new report, the singer and the actor may be living together and may even be planning a wedding. (Sorry, Kristen Stewart.)
There's been a number of conflicting reports regarding the relationship between Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs, but there's one thing we know for certain - these two are moving very fast.
Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs are growing closer each day ... but could they be secretly married? A new rumor going around may suggest exactly that ...
It's getting VERY serious, people.
Following a report that stated Robert Pattinson may move to London for new girlfriend FKA Twigs, the actor was spotted arm-in-hand with the singer in Paris yesterday, she he continues to follow her around on tour.
Things seem to be getting serious between Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs.
Rumors that Pattz and Twiggy are dating have been circulating for a while now, and just last week we got our first glimpse of Rob and FKA holding hands in public. (Squeee!)
FKA Twigs, Robert Pattinson's new girlfriend, has had enough of the racist Internet trolling that she's been subjected to since their romance went public.
Almost immediately after the gossip world caught wind of FKA Twigs dating Robert Pattinson, the Internet abuse commenced, and it has not relented.
Rumors that FKA Twigs and Robert Pattinson are dating have been circulating for weeks now, with neither party publicly confirming or denying the reports.
While Pattz and Twiggy will likely continue to keep mum on the topic, a fan who spotted the couple strolling on a SoCal beach yesterday posted photographic evidence of their romance on Instagram:
Well, that was fast. The same day that E! News confirmed that it's over between Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult, J-Law's ex was spotted on what appeared to be a dinner date with Kristen Stewart!
Stewart and Hoult are filming a movie entitled Equals in Tokyo, and they were reportedly spotted getting awfully friendly with each other during a sushi dinner.
We already know that Robert Pattinson finds Katy Perry "f--king hot," but according to Radar Online, Rob did much more than admire Katy from afar at a recent party.
Celebrating the release of his film "The Rover" in LA last Thursday, Rob and Katy were reportedly "all over each other" at an LA hotspot, making out in plain view of other patrons.
Robert Pattinson was spotted last night hanging out with what may be the new lady in his life: 22-year-old model Imogen Ker.

Career history
Career highlights and awards
Tony Temple (born September 13, 1985 in Kansas City, Missouri) is the former starting running back for the Missouri Tigers football team representing the University of Missouri. Temple played for the Tigers from 2004 to 2007. He entered the 2008 NFL Draft, but was not chosen and was signed after the draft as a free agent with the Cleveland Browns, but was released before the start of the season.
High school career[edit]
Temple attended Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Missouri and participated in both track and field and football for the Hawklets. Temple was on two Missouri 6A High School undefeated state championship football teams in 2000 and 2002. Temple finished his high school career in football with 6,295 rushing yards and 85 total touchdowns, good for a #8 ranking by Rivals and #2 by ESPN as a running back prospect in the 2004 collegiate recruiting class.
Collegiate career[edit]
In his final collegiate game, Temple set a Cotton Bowl Classic record with 281 yards rushing in Missouri's 38-7 win over Arkansas on New Year's Day 2008, breaking a mark that Dicky Maegle first set with a memorable performance in 1954.[1] On his final carry of the game, Temple broke loose for a spinning, tackle-breaking 40-yard touchdown run and then rode to the bench on the arms of teammates Chase Daniel and lineman Tyler Luellen because he had tweaked a hamstring injury.[1] Temple's rushing mark and total touchdowns (4) remain Cotton Bowl Classic records.
After the 2007 season Temple applied to get the 2008 year of eligibility back by appeal to the NCAA. Temple played in one game for 2004 as a true freshman, but due to an injury, he missed the remainder of the year.[2] The appeal was turned down initially by the Big 12, and before the NCAA could review it, Temple decided to withdraw the appeal and prepare for the NFL draft.[3]
Post college[edit]
Temple was signed with the Cleveland Browns, but then released. Temple is currently the Director of Operations at the Kansas City Fitness Magazine. Temple also is the owner of a construction company, based in Kansas City, MO. (Temple Construction Services, LLC). Temple also works for a local talent agency in Kansas City, MO. where he was featured in a National Adidas Promo and with Hallmark. Temple is a client for Talent Unlimited where he specializes in acting and modeling.

Canyon Crest Academy If you have a child with an IEP you will have a difficult time having the staff comply and the administrators will not help or support you in any way. If you file complaints of non compliance some of the staff has been known to take it out on the student. Great school but know what you are getting into if you have a student with an IEP. There is definitely an attitude there that they are above it all and do not need to comply.

I wouldn't pretend for a second that the Pentax is better in some objective sense. They each have their points in favor. In the end I found them roughly equivalent shooters, so the Pentax won purely on familiarity (I started out with manual cameras by shooting and repairing K1000s on a college campus back when) and very slightly lower total cost of ownership. The latter was important with a new family, though the difference isn't enough that I'd have cared otherwise.

Oracle Buyout of Hyperion to Hasten BI Sector Consolidation
Oracle Buyout of Hyperion to Hasten BI Sector Consolidation
John Pallatto
Posted 2007-03-01
Oracle's $3.3 billion buyout of Hyperion Solutions will likely trigger a general consolidation of the business intelligence sector as the survivors devour each other or get snapped up by the industry giants.
Oracles $3.3 billion acquisition of Hyperion Solutions, a specialist in the field of corporate performance management, has set the fox among the chickens in the broader business intelligence market. This has long been a relatively quiet and sometimes prosperous sector of the enterprise software market, where the corporate acquisitions have been far less costly and involved larger BI players making strategic purchases of their smaller brethren. But with Oracle in the market, the larger surviving BI playersCognos, Business Objects and Informaticahave to start thinking about whether its time for them start making more of their own strategic acquisitions or even start devouring each other.
Click here
to read more about Oracles $3.3 billion buyout of Hyperion Solutions.
Another company that certainly should be reviewing its options is SAP, because once again Oracle has demonstrated that it will keep massively outspending SAP to try to build an all-encompassing ERP (enterprise resource planning) suite that cant be assailed in the market. John Van Decker, Gartners research vice president, says the March 5 buyout of Hyperion for $52 per share is part of Oracles "surround SAP" strategy. This acquisition, Van Decker said, allows Oracle to get both feet inside the offices of chief financial officers around the globe. Performance management is the branch of BI that helps CFOs determine whether their companies are achieving financial goals and operating according to business plans and budgets.
CFOs frequently use supporting data generated by performance management applications when they decide whether to approve major new corporate investments. Hyperion had been the biggest player in the market, Van Decker said. Until recently, neither Oracle nor SAP had a performance management application within their business intelligence portfolios, he noted. Oracles acquisition of Hyperion comes barely a week after SAP acquired Pilot Software, a privately held developer of business analytics and online analytical processing applications, on Feb. 20. Now that Hyperion is off the market, the surviving big players in the BI market have to be thinking about how they will react, Van Decker said. "I can tell you right now that we are fielding many calls from competitors that are now wondering how will this change the market," he said.
To read more about why SAP acquired Pilot Software,
click here.
SAP officials have said many times that they dont intend to spend the billions of dollars Oracle has over the past four years to build up its application portfolio. Instead SAP has pursued small but "strategic" acquisitions that have allowed it to add innovative technology to its product line. However, Van Decker said, this latest acquisition may force SAP to reconsider that strategy. Oracles latest move has to be "raising an eyebrow, I would imagine at SAP, and I think that ultimately they will need to make some kind of a response."
