Oh dear. I can't believe I just fell in love with MAC liquidlast.
First of all, I'm (was) a total makeup virgin until last week I randomly picked up this liner just for fun. I wanted to start using makeup but I wanted something subtle. Obviously, this stuff is no subtle but it's amazing. I don't have shaky hands (thank god) and I get along with the flimsy brush well, it's just slightly hard to create a nice flick with the brush. But the best part is, it stays on ALL DAY LONG. I mean it. I usually get out of the house at 5.30 am and return back home at 8/9 pm, and yet without touch-ups, my liner still looks as if it were freshly applied. It flakes a little bit but it only happens if I put too much on. Pricey, but so worth it. if you have the cash to splash, I totally recommend this liner.
When I went to purchase my second tube I almost had a heart attack when the lady at the MAC counter told me she'd never heard of this before. She sold me this awful, runny eyeliner that I returned. As far as I know this is only available on the MAC website now. It's amazing. It stays in place for 8+ hours, and has never come off on me. The only thing that's a bit annoying is the brush. It's like a mini paintbrush that can make a mess if you're not careful. But overall, I love it! It's the only liner I found that will stay on my Asian eyelids.

Extremly waterproof liner.... This is the best liquid liner I´ve tried. Intens color. Lasting all day.

A great waterproof, all day lasting eyeliner!
I use this on my lid that is primed and i also apply powder on my eyelids too, for extra lasting power! my lids get pretty oily during the day so this ensures a long wear, and no transfer to my upper eye lid area.
You do need some time for it to dry, and i like to use an extra liner brush to perfect the cat eye and get an even, thin application. kinda like how i use layers to paint my nails and let each coat dry. anyways, it does last all day, and i will continue to buy! this is something you can definitely swim with! I had a pool party and swam with this and all my chick friends were really asking me what eyeliner i was using, cuz they were too scared to get their head wet underwater. Def something to try if your looking for all day wear. Also, invest in a good oil based waterproof eye makeup remover! this stuff doesnt budge :)

Before I begin my review, I just want to let you guys know that I have Asian hooded eyes, which means that I do have an eyelid, but it very tiny, and not always visible, since the top of my crease covers the lid most of the time. So for any one out there, that has similar eyes to mines, this review might be more helpful than for those with different eye shapes. Now that thats done
I Freaking love this black liquid eyeliner!!! Before I found this eyeliner, I tried so many different eyeliners- Loreal Lineur Intense, Wet and wild Gel Eyeliner, Wet and wild H20 eyeliner, Milani eye Tech, Black Radiance, Urban Decay 24/7 pencil eyeliner, MUFE pencil Eyeliner, but not a single eyeliner would stay on my Asian eyelid for longer than 2-3 hours. I was about to give up hope on ever wearing eyeliner since all the eyeliners I have would either smudge on my eyelids or they would crease and fall out. I would rather not wear any eyeliner than to wear eyeliner and have panda eyes. So one day I decided to go to Mac and dish out 17 bucks for their liquid eyeliner in point black. I mean if all fails, go to MAC right? And I think this has to be the best makeup decision I ever made. The first time I tried this eyeliner, I didnt like the brush applicator. It was tiny and so much harder to control than say like the Loreal Lineur Intense which has a felt tip applicator. But none of that even matters since I finally found a liquid eyeliner that would stay on my Asian eyelid. This eyeliner lasts forever. I would say it stays on for around 12 hours or more with no creasing and smudging. Sometimes, I would sleep with my eyeliner on and wake up and see that most of the eyeliner is still on my eyelid except for the tiny bit on the inner corner of my eye. This eyeliner would stay on during showers and would not melt off in high temperatures. The color of the eyeliner is super dark black and comes out in a matte black finish. Also, this eyeliner dries quickly when first applied which might be a problem for some people, but it works fine for me. This bottle of eyeliner may look small( about the size of my middle finger), but the amount of product seems to be never ending. I brought my liquid eyeliner around 6 months ago and I have been using it on and off and there is still a lot of product left in the container. To all the Asians with hooded eyelids out there who might be looking for a long wearing and smudge proof eyeliner, this is the eyeliner to get! I swear this eyeliner would stay on your eyelid forever. I know 17 bucks for an eyeliner is really expensive, but trust me it is worth it. The only complaint I have about this product is that the brush makes it harder to apply the eyeliner but I find that I could easily use a Q-tip and my Ponds makeup remover to fix my mistakes. Gotta work with what you got, you know? Also, I would give this product five stars if only the applicator was just like the slanted felt tip applicator of the Loreal Lineur Intense. But overall, I love this product for having amazing staying power and I think you would like it too. ;)
P.S. Not sure why it says discontinued in the title. Mac still sells this eyeliner online.

At the moment this is my HG eyeliner! I've tried MAC fluidline in black track and by far this eyeliner beats blacktrack in my book!
-Extremely WATERPROOF! I've always had a problem with my eyeliner smudging and flaking because I have monolids but this barely moves ALL DAY. This is the main reason why I love this product.
-Super black. I usually only apply one coat.
-Dries quickly.
-Extremely waterproof. Some people may not like that it's so difficult to remove, but I bought MAC's tranquil eye make-up remover (although any oil remover would do) and it comes right off! However, if you get it on your lashes or make a mistake it is difficult to fix.
-Pricey. Like all MAC products. And I was surprised at how little product you actually get.
-Thick formula. Many people don't like this, but it doesn't bother me.
-Brush sucks. I use my elf angled eyeliner brush to apply it.
I know there are more cons than pros here, but the fact that it stays on so long is the main reason I love this eyeliner. If that's not something you're looking for, this eyeliner might not be for you.

I knovv many people hate this product because the brush and the difficulty putting it on. It is a little tricky, esp. for people not used to applying eye liner vvith a brush.
VVho is this eyeliner for?
-People that like deeep deeeeep dark black eyeliner
-People that hate vvhen their eyeliner turns up grey in flash photography.
-People vvho vvant it to be smear proof 100% and I do mean 100%!
For me, though it is tough to remove(not vvith an oil basd remover hovvever) I love this eye liner. There may be liners that are as dark as this one, but the staying povver is unmatched!
as they say, you reap vvhat you sovv. I am vvilling to deal vvith its trickery in applying(over time, it is much much easier) because the staying povver and the rich colour keeps me coming back for more.
I apply my liner very very thick as vvell and I bought this about 2 months ago and it still has some left in it, though I think it's about to run out in about one month.
I used to use fluidline by Mac, though easy to apply, I didn't like vvhen it dried out grey or the smudging.
also, I don't think even using a different brush vvould improve the difficulty because the reason its harder to apply is the formula. The formula is sticky, vvhich is vvhat makes the liner so vvaterproof.

The MUA was not kidding when she said you could go swimming in this. I struggle to get it off FULLSTOP. Even with eye makeup remover - It's like a tattoo. Also, like so many others, I hate the brush. I have very curly lashes which is a huge pain when trying to apply eyeliner as with this brush it ends up all over them.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I like the formula but as mentioned by the other despise the brush. The brush is hard to use and once you get it on your lashes they will clump and will not be unclumped until you use makeup remover. This is the only liquid eyeliner that I had tried that does not crack on me or rub off. LASTS ALL DAY LONG NO. Is it discontinued? NOOOOOO Should have stocked up
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My eyelids are oily and almost all eyeliners smudge on my skin. I've tried several products and this is the ONLY product that doesn't smudge and stay on all day. I've gotten used to the small brush tip so it doesn't bother me but others have mentioned that they can't stand the brush and rather have felt tip liners.
Unfortunately, MAC stopped making this product :(
If you have oily lids and want clean black lines, in my opinion, this is probably the best option without paying too much. Another big plus for Liquidlast is that one bottle lasts me at least 6 months.. I wear eyeliner 6 or 7 days every week. Have yet to find a sufficient replacement.

Oklahoma is well on its way to becoming the most restrictive state for women seeking abortions. The two most recent bills are bad enough–one forces a woman to have an ultrasound and then listen to a detailed description of the fetus' limbs and organs, while the other prevents a woman for suing a doctor who fails to mention if the fetus is disabled. I don't even get how these two bills can actually work together, but apparently that doesn't matter in Crazytown. Says State Senator Todd Lamb, "maybe someday these babies will grow up to be police officers and arrest bad people, or will find a cure for cancer." And yet, it gets worse.
Two more bills are working their way through the Legislature, one that would force women to fill out a lengthy questionnaire about their reasons for seeking an abortion (and then use those statistics online), and the other restricting insurance coverage.
New York City to the rescue?
Hours after the bill was passed, New York's Center for Reproductive Rights went to court to challenge the law as unconstitutional, a violation of the doctor's freedom of speech and the woman's right to equal protection and privacy.
Things are about to get really weird.

Downtown Lunds should be catalyst for further development.
Lunds is coming to downtown St. Paul. While grocery stores come and go in other parts of the city, downtown hasn't had one in decades.
That's why the Lunds announcement is such great news for the city and its 14,000 downtown residents and 65,000 workers. In addition to providing long-needed access to a supermarket, the store will help boost the tax base, attract new residents and contribute to community building.
Early this month, Lunds Food Holdings said it will build a 30,000-square-foot store as part of an $88 million mixed-use project called the Penfield. The development, on 10th and Robert streets, will include a hotel and upscale apartments. Construction is scheduled to begin in the fall.
Developers are hoping that a St. Paul Lunds will be as successful as a similar Minneapolis store just northeast of downtown. Built in 2006, the market quickly became a community focal point in a growing neighborhood of lofts and condos. So a second core-city store near Hennepin Avenue S. between 10th and 11th streets is on the drawing board.
Other supermarkets located in urban developments have shown that they encourage walking and buying smaller quantities of fresh food more often. With a grocery store close by, residents and workers are more likely to leave the car parked and stroll to the store for a few items at a time, similar to the way many urban Europeans shop. That's good for healthy lifestyles and for the region's carbon footprint.
In addition, as some city leaders point out, a downtown market offers a psychological lift of sorts. It signals that a developing urban neighborhood is succeeding and encourages condo shoppers to seriously consider living downtown.
When an upscale grocer such as Lunds makes this kind of investment -- especially in this challenging economy -- it's a good sign for the future of downtown living.
A few blocks away from the Penfield development, thieves have taken advantage of the crowds drawn by Minnesota Wild Hockey games and other events at the Xcel Energy Center. Police report that in November and December, crooks broke into more than 20 vehicles and took purses, computers, iPods and other electronics left on seats or otherwise in plain view. Most of the thefts occurred in surface parking lots around the arena during Wild games.
Rashes of similar smash-and-grabs have occurred all over the metro area. Lakes in St. Paul and Minneapolis where joggers and bikers gather have been hot spots for that brand of theft. Parked vehicles near shopping malls, the State Fair, Taste of Minnesota and other summer festivals have also been targets. Crooks like to target locations where they know motorists will be away from their cars for a while.
With a little common sense, such thefts are highly preventable. Too many motorists leave themselves open to such "crimes of opportunity'' because they think a pane of glass is enough security to protect their things.
It's a common-sense lesson that can't be repeated often enough, especially during this heavy shopping, returning, exchanging and gift-card using season: Don't invite thieves to inventory your valuables through a car window. Either leave them at home or take a few extra seconds to lock them in a trunk, console or glove compartment.

Chickens eat most insects. They dig up grubs in the fall, they eat grasshoppers and many other insects. I haven't had many insect problems since I got 4 chickens for my backyard. The only one they seem to attract is flies, but keeping the pen clean minimizes them. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, chickens can be a good help in the garden providing you live in an enlightened area that allows you to keep some. If you live in the typical sundivision where the houses are all made of tickey tacky and are all in a row and must maintain a neatly mowed, "weed" free, lawn you may not be able to. |
I understand the restrictions of the typical subdivision. If you live in a community that is more relaxed about having chickens, having 3-4 for a typical-sized yard can be really awesome though. In Paul Wheaton's podcast on methods for raising chickens, he talks about the pros and cons of different management systems. While some of the info is more helpful to people specifically focused on raising chickens, there is a lot of good info spread throughout that is good for anyone raising any number of chickens on any size property. |

The Eye Shadows maintain the same almost-smooth, dry texture they've had for the past several years. The only real difference this time around is that many of the colors go on softer and more sheer. You'll notice less of this with the medium to dark shades, which tend to go on grainier and deeper than they look and don't blend as evenly as the best eyeshadows, but there is minimal flaking. These are not the smoothest shadows in town, but they do the job. Although the shades are labeled Satin, Frost, Lustre, Matte, Velvet, Veluxe, and Veluxe Pearl, they are arranged by color, not formula or finish, on the tester unit. The large number of Matte (most of the shades are indeed matte) and Satin shades apply much better, though the darker Matte shades drag a bit, so blending must be precise.
When it comes to skin care you may be tempted to dismiss the small assortment M.A.C. offers and skip right to their makeup with its well-earned positive reputation. But doing so would mean missing a handful of beautifully formulated products that are worth trying. By no means is M.A.C.'s skin-care line one-stop shopping (at least not if you have blemishes, skin discolorations, or require more than a couple options per category), but you'll find more than just the color products impressive here, and the prices aren't unreasonable either!
For more information about M.A.C., owned by Estee Lauder, call (800) 588-0070 or visit www.maccosmetics.com.
M.A.C. Makeup
What more can one say for this long-standing makeup line whose products have spoken eloquently for themselves for years? In many ways, M.A.C. is a pivotal line not only for makeup artists but also for any in-the-know cosmetics consumer. Although M.A.C. has several singularly outstanding products, they generally excel by virtue of the range of choices offered. The color selection for everything from lipsticks to foundations is exceptional. Also, most of the makeup brushes are beautiful, full, and soft, as well as properly sized to fit the contours of the face and eyes. It is typically a pleasure to shop this line, though we wish the tester units (especially for blush, eyeshadow, and lipstick) were arranged by formula and finish rather than by color.
M.A.C.'s salespeople are sometimes trained as makeup artists, too, though being part of the Estee Lauder corporation means they have pressure to meet sales quotas (and no gifts-with-purchase to serve as an enticement). For this reason, you may prefer shopping at one of M.A.C.'s freestanding or Pro stores. The sales pressure is all but absent, the staff tends to be true makeup artists rather than only salespeople, and the stores routinely offer makeup how-to classes, which are both fun and informative.
M.A.C. has launched several state-of-the-art products since the previous edition of this book. The prime additions are several improved foundations and concealers, superior loose and pressed powders, a couple of mascaras that compete nicely with those from lash-enhancing leader Lancome, buttery-smooth powder blushes, and the very popular (and deservedly so) Pro Longwear Lipcolour. Couple this with their long-standing products that have always performed well and offered neutral shades (Studio Fix, anyone?) and M.A.C. is a force to be reckoned with in the world of department-store makeup. The only disappointment of note is that several of their liquid foundations with sunscreen still lack sufficient UVA protection. Why is it that Lauder-owned Clinique and Prescriptives continually get this critical step right, while Lauder's namesake line, Bobbi Brown, and M.A.C. tend to falter? It's especially upsetting in M.A.C.'s case because the affected foundations otherwise have exemplary textures and a vast palette of neutral shades for fair to dark skin tones. Other than this important point, you really can't go wrong shopping this line, whether you're new to the world of makeup or a seasoned pro.
Note: M.A.C. sets itself apart from other beauty brands by staying ahead of the curve by launching a seemingly-constant rotation of impressive limited edition products, usually with fashion-forward themes. Though it's impossible to review every limited edition product, many of M.A.C.'s are as impressive as those in their permanent collection.
Poor pigmentation for shade carbon. It's gotten to the the point that I swatch eyeshadow on my hand to see if it show's up good enough.

Education Specialist in Teacher Leadership
Education Specialist in Teacher Leadership
(EdS degree)
The Education Specialist (EdS) in Teacher Leadership equips teachers who want to extend themselves to serve in teacher-leader roles, both formal and informal, and apply their knowledge and skills to best serve the common good in their school or district. The program supports the development of educational leaders who can critically evaluate and apply current research, analyze educational trends, gather and use evidence appropriately, and know how to promote and guide best practices in student and adult learning.
The EdS in Teacher Leadership develops servant leaders who are masters of their speciality but also masters of the big picture so they will improve the system and the lives of students. The 32-credit program can be completed in two to three years and offers the following specialty options:
- Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment concentration specifically designed for current or aspiring Instructional Coaches, Mentors, and Teachers on Special Assignment.
- Reading/Literacy which meets TSPC requirements for the Reading Specialist Endorsement along with passing the Reading Praxis exam.
- English as a Second Language/Bilingual which meets TSPC requirements for the ESOL Endorsement along with passing the ESOL ORELA. Students can add the Bilingual category to the ESOL Endorsement by reflecting that aspect in their practicum and passing an additional Content Knowledge and Productive Language Skills test.
- Library Media which meets TSPC requirements for the Library Media Endorsement along with passing the Library Media Praxis exam.
- EdS in Teacher Leadership PLUS Special Education Endorsement (39 cr.) The EdS in Teacher Leadership PLUS Special Education Endorsement degree provides professionals seeking the opportunity to embed a Special Education endorsement within the context of a degree that connects learning from that area of specialization to the larger context of school/district systems and educational leadership. Teacher leaders are essential contributors to successful schools and districts. Special Education services bring challenges and complexities that are rarely addressed well in school improvement and reform efforts.

"Fantastic Seat…"
Everywhere I had seen people saying 'this is really hard to fit, it takes
ages, you will need help'.
I couldn't believe it when I put it in the car, had a brief look at the
superb instructions, and had it installed within about 5 minutes.
It's beautiful, very plush, very padded and the harness is easy to use.
Only cons are, it is high backed and quite hard to see over to reverse so
I'd recommend putting it behind the driver's seat, and secondly it doesn't
seem to recline much so the only options are upright or almost upright - not
so great for a long journey with a tiny one.
But for short trips ds who is 9mo, finds it very comfy and I think it's
I got it on sale at £149 so a total bargain but not sure if I'd be so keen
if it was full price.
Still the design and the quality are impressive and I'd recommend it to
anyone after an ERF.Read moreLess1 person found this review helpful.

"I've had this seat now for a few months. We…"
I've had this seat now for a few months. We bought it as our son grew out the infant car seat by 7 months and was too young to be forward facing. I have also read the safety reviews etc regarding extended rear-facing seats and how they are 5 times safer in a forward facing crash. Once I had watched the You Tube videos of forward versus rearfacing crash tests, I could not purchase a forward facing seat.
The seat itself is very padded and luxurious. We got the Bellini grey cover and it is lovely and plush.
We have a Vauxhall Meriva and fits in the car no problem. The seat does sit quite far back, but this is to give room for little legs to dangle rather than be flush against the seat back, but this is unused space anyway.
It is very easy to install. The seat is isofix and also has tethers to the front passenger seat for added safety. The tethers take a wee while to fix and are not really meant to be removed, but there are seat belt style clips to detach the seat easily whilst leaving the tethers in place. It is a heavy seat, so not really meant for carting it about. It would be fine to move between cars or to be removed easily to have a car seat free back seat, but is more suited to being your main car seat and staying in place.
As it is isofix, there is no messing about with seat belts and once installed you only need to do up the 5 point harness and you're good to go.
My son looks very comforable in this seat. it is high up for side impact safety and also means that my son can see out of the side window and the back window, so he has loads to look at. i don't buy into the whole, rearfacing is boredom argument. My son can actually see more than a forward facing car and I have a Brightstarts mirror fitted so that he can see me and I also see him easily at a glance.
the recline option is pretty negligable, but my son fall s asleep comfortably at ever trip over 15 mins in length, so no issues there.
It may seem pricey, but an isofix forward facing seat would cost the same.Read moreLess2 people found this review helpful.

"Rear facing from 9 months on an isofix with safety…"
Rear facing from 9 months on an isofix with safety straps around the front seats sliding bar.
Quite a large seat due to needing leg room but fitted in our Kia Sedona easily and still left room for the front passenger.
Very comfortable for 13 month old and for a 3 year old we tried in the seat.
Seat has removable side head pads and seatbelt cushions.
Easy to adjust the seatbelt which is on a screw at the back so no rethreading as child grows.
Took a long time to install (about 10 mins)
Baby like sitting in it and sleeps more easily then she did in her 0-9 month seat.
Covers remove easily for washing and wash really well on a 30 washRead moreLessMumsnetter Debs75

"Fab rear-facing chair - had to give it a low…"
Fab rear-facing chair - had to give it a low mark for portability as it's quite a behemoth as I suspect most rear-facings would be.
Isofix fitting though, so incredibly easy to fit.
DD very happy in it - nice and high so she can see out of the window. I'm happy knowing she's got the extra safety of being rear-facing.Read moreLessMumsnetter PartOfTheHumphreysGroup

Title: | Novel Materials for Small and Medium Caliber Projectiles | Research & Technical Areas: | Materials/Processes, Weapons |
Acquisition Program: | .50 Cal, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, Close In Weapon System |
RESTRICTION ON PERFORMANCE BY FOREIGN NATIONALS: This topic is "ITAR Restricted". The information and materials provided pursuant to or resulting from this topic are restricted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), 22 CFR Parts 120-130, which control the export of defense-related material and services, including the export of sensitive technical data. Foreign nationals may perform work under an award resulting from this topic only if they hold the "Permanent Resident Card", or are designated as "Protected Individuals" as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3). If a proposal for this topic contains participation by a foreign national who is not in one of the above two categories, the proposal may be rejected. | Objective: | Develop and evaluate candidate novel materials for small and medium caliber projectiles that demonstrate increased target damage, improved lethality, and enhanced battle damage indicators.
| Description: | The current small and medium caliber weapon systems utilize projectiles that rely strictly on kinetic energy to provide damage to the target. The ability to couple that kinetic energy with a material that provides a significant chemical energy release (such as a reactive material) is desirable for increased weapon performance in addition to the potential for enhanced battle damage indicators. There are several challenges associated with this tasking such as: material strength, material density, and energy release over the velocity range of 2500 ft/s - 3500 ft/s. Research and development is required to develop novel materials and innovative processes to achieve the mechanical properties (of the projectile) necessary to survive launch, penetrate the target, and deliver the chemical energy in a way that improves the lethality of the round.
| PHASE I: Conduct research and development pertaining to the investigation of the structural, mechanical, and chemical properties of candidate novel materials. Begin modeling effort to characterize material survivability during gun launch, material break up, and energy release on target impact.
| PHASE II: Generate scaled samples of materials identified in Phase I to evaluate and measure the chemical energy output and the ability of the candidate materials to withstand gun launch. Perform ballistic and target impact analysis of candidate solutions. Update launch and impact model to reflect test data. Perform an assessment of each materials ability to increase battle damage indicators over status quo.
| PHASE III: Build full scale assets from the most promising candidate solutions. Provide samples for further testing at a Navy facility. Test launch survivability, ballistics, target damage and BDI compared to existing assets. Transition will be contingent upon the choice of the most appropriate caliber(s) for technology transition. The contractor will work with the applicable Navy Program Office in qualifying new projectile configurations. Qualification will include Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) assessments, test firings, and Insensitive Munitions (IM) assessments and/or testing, as required. Any impact to IM will be coordinated with the PEO IWS IM Coordinator.
This technology could potentially be applied to large caliber weapons but will require investigation of the impact of a scaled up approach from the small/med caliber size to larger projectiles. An analysis will need to be conducted that address performance of larger projectiles, cost of larger masses of the novel materials, and the costs to scale the manufacturing processes.

Africa takes cue from EU
The African Union debuts Tuesday with a new vision of unity for the continent.
More than 50 African heads of state gathered in this coastal city Monday to mark the end of an era and perhaps a new beginning.
The 39-year-old Organization for African Unity (OAU) formed to support states emerging from colonialism was dissolved. Tuesday, it will be replaced by the African Union (AU), a more powerful organization with a new vision for addressing the problems of this troubled continent.
To skeptics, this is institutional name-swapping, a fresh moniker for a weak organization, led by a group of familiar leaders who have frequently failed to stop corruption, feed their people, or practice democracy.
To supporters, it's an important self-recognition of what African states need: group accountability, a unified development plan, and the rule of law. The AU, loosely modeled after the European Union, will create a pan-African parliament, a central bank, a court of justice, an African peacekeeping force, and eventually, a common currency.
The most controversial, and perhaps most critical, element of the new union, say analysts, is its authority to intervene in the affairs of member states. It can step in when a country's constitutional government has been overthrown, and when there is a danger of genocide or gross human rights violations, or when the instability of one state threatens another.
"Africa is drawing a line between the era of the liberation struggle and the era of development," said Ghana's President John Kufuor as he arrived at the three-day summit here.
The OAU, founded in 1963 by Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah, who advocated a union of African states that could speak with one voice, was intended to support the emerging African states who were just freeing themselves from the yoke of colonialism. But as colonial powers gave way to African dictatorships like that of Mobutu Sese Seko in Zaire, and civil wars like the ones in Sierra Leone and Angola, the OAU looked the other way. As a result, peacebuilding and support of democracy was left primarily to regional bodies anchored by a single powerful state, like the Southern African Development Community, which intervened in Lesotho in 1998 to prevent a suspected coup.

Thank you J. Honestly I didn't think that this photo would be so easily received. It's more of a personal shot of my personal dog so i'm surprised it has gotten promoted so much so quickly. Though i'm overjoyed nonetheless!!
I wish :( We had to get rid of her because she kept attacking my other dog right in front of my children. We made sure she found a good home. Im glad I took so many pictures of her for the short time I had her.

In small-town, rural Montana, the system works.
A county superintendent of schools in the sparsely populated sections of the state is often the single authority — before the state's Office of Public Instruction gets involved — for the county's schools, and intervenes when issues arise on the school board.
"They serve a far greater purpose" in a rural county than they do in a populous county, said Dennis Parman, deputy to state Superintendent of Schools Denise Juneau.
But in Yellowstone County, where the school districts — including Billings School District 2, the state's largest — are run by their own superintendent and school board. They don't need the additional support of a county schools chief.
At least, that's what Yellowstone County commissioners believe.
Three years ago, the three commissioners voted to combine the office with the county treasurer and assessor.
In Yellowstone County, that combined office is held by Max Lenington.
"For a long, long time there hasn't been the need for a full-time county superintendent of schools," said Commissioner Jim Reno, who led the charge to consolidate the office.
Lenington two weeks ago brought attention to the office during a furor over allegations he plagiarized a blunt, anti-Obama letter to the editor in the Sunday Billings Gazette.
During the fallout, it became apparent that many county residents were unclear about the role of the Yellowstone County superintendent of schools.
A secretary in that office does more with the schools than Lenington does, Reno said.
The office of the county superintendent of schools was established decades ago by state law, meaning an individual county doesn't have the authority to abolish the position.
Otherwise, Reno said, they'd probably do it.
In the days of one-room school houses, where it was just a group of students and an instructor, the county superintendent of schools made sure the teacher had the proper certification and that the school was functioning correctly.
"They were kind of out there on their own," Reno said.
But these days, schools have principals and districts have their own superintendents and boards. A district superintendent works under the direction of the school board, carrying out the policies created by trustees.
They work with district staff to make sure classroom curriculum follows state standards and that schools are warm, safe and dry.
As the role of district superintendent has grown over the decades, the need for a county schools chief has diminished.
Still, in the state's rural counties, chances are good the county superintendent of schools is still the one person running the show.
"They're kinda it," OPI's Parman said.
Under state law, the county superintendent of schools is still required to sign teaching certificates. So once a year, the hundreds of teachers in Yellowstone County must have their teaching credentials signed by Lennington.
Again, it's a secretary who does the bulk of the work, rubber-stamping Lennington's signature on the documents.
Also, parents who wish to register for homeschooling must visit Lenington's office to pick up the paperwork and get the certification required by the state.
Despite holding the title, Lenington receives no extra pay for being the county superintendent of schools. He's paid $90,000 a year, the salary set by the county when Lenington was still just treasurer and assessor.
The state also requires the county superintendent of schools to have a state school administrators certificate.
Lenington has no certificate, so the county contracts out to Dan Martin, a retired administrator with SD2.
Under state law, only a school board can expel a student. When that happens and the student wants to appeal the decision, that appeal is handled by the county superintendent of schools.
Were that to happen in Yellowstone County, Martin would handle the appeal.
For Reno, the goal is to shrink county government as much as possible and find more efficient ways to run county business.
Consolidating the office of county superintendent was simply one way to do that.
"It works," Reno said.

A Billings special-education teacher was arraigned Thursday on felony drug charges.
Koby Gayle Murray, 48, appeared before District Judge Susan Watters and pleaded not guilty to four counts of fraudulently obtaining dangerous drugs. Watters allowed Murray to remain free without bond while her case is pending.
School District 2 officials announced earlier this week that Murray, a teacher at Lewis and Clark Middle School, had been placed on paid administrative leave as the result of a criminal investigation.
Superintendent Terry Bouck said the district would also conduct its own investigation.
Murray was previously charged in 2007 with four felony counts of fraudulently obtaining dangerous drugs in a case that ended in a deferred prosecution agreement.
As part of the agreement, approved in August 2008, prosecutors said they would dismiss the charges in three years if Murray completed a number of tasks, including counseling and addiction treatment.
Murray was allowed to return to her teaching job in the fall of 2008.
The new charging documents filed this week allege in the first count that on April 14, Murray used a fake prescription to get Endocet at a pharmacy on Overland Avenue.
The second count alleges Murray received a valid prescription for oxycodone as a pre-surgery medication on May 30, then a week later received another prescription for liquid hydrocodone from a different doctor.
Murray failed to report the prior prescription, court records state. The doctor told investigators that she would not have approved the second prescription had she known of the prior oxycodone prescription.
The third count alleges that another doctor wrote Murray a prescription for Percocet on June 25 after Murray failed to report that she had received a prescription for oxycodone the previous week.
The last count alleges that in June, Murray again failed to report a previous prescription in order to get a prescription of oxycodone.
Murray reportedly gave a statement to investigators on July 12 and admitted to seeing 16 doctors. Murray said she told the doctors that she was not taking any other medications, court records state.
Investigators said Murray was given 36 prescriptions by 19 different doctors.

The Division of Workers' Compensation Office in Goleta is set to remain open despite a previous decision to close the office.
State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson of Santa Barbara made the announcement Thursday. She says the office will stay open for up to four days a week.
The office is the only one in Santa Barbara County.
The office was going to close and move to Oxnard because the space is expensive to lease. Jackson says that would have been difficult for people to get to, especially if they rely on public transit.
"It could take people, many of them with work injuries, as long as three hours to travel to Oxnard by bus to access these services. I knew we had to find a more acceptable alternative," said Jackson.
Details are still being worked out, but Jackson says a satellite office will open up in the city of Santa Barbara at 411 East Canon Perdido by the end of December. The new office should be less expensive than the current space that's being leased in Goleta. Jackson says the Goleta office should remain open through November 18. The Oxnard office will be open to people in Santa Barbara County while the Goleta office moves.

Sometimes you pass something on the road that makes you so mad, you just feel like you have to tell someone about it to get it off of your chest.
It's incredible what one can learn at a breakfast club. Combine a cross section of the community with Droids, Blackberries, iPhones, etc., and there's quite a plethora of entertainment and information to be had.
In a variety show that aired on NBC in the early 1970s, comedian Flip Wilson would step into a woman's dress and bonnet and into the spirited and cheeky fictional character of Geraldine Jones, who invoked this popular comeback whenever caught in a tall tale or in a compromising situation: "The devil made me do it."
This is going to be a long, hot summer - and I don't mean the temperature. The debt, deficit and spending fight on Capitol Hill is intense. If the government does not increase the debt limit in August, the United States will default on its bills. The Republicans want Washington to cut its spending to match the revenue (taxes) coming in, and the Democrats want to increase our taxes. Unless the two sides come together with a compromise, our country goes into default.
As far as state parks are concerned, being boring shouldn't always necessarily be seen as a bad thing.
I own a vacation home in Dawson County – Big Canoe to be exact. Every year, we get a bill for property taxes and it is paid promptly.
I was speaking to a member of the General Assembly last year in the wake of a series of ethics scandals that led to the former speaker of the House resigning, and he said, "We've passed an ethics bill that greatly expands the disclosure of campaign finance and lobbyist spending."
Gov. Nathan Deal has had a welcome change of heart about another hike in the state tax on gasoline after reaping a windfall from a formula-induced jump of nearly 28 percent less than two months ago.
After hearing arguments last week from a coalition of immigration attorneys and civil-rights organizations seeking to block implementation of Georgia's new immigration law (HB 87), which went into effect July 1, U.S. District Judge Thomas Thrash issued his ruling Monday afternoon.
Oh, I love it when I have happy news! It looks like after a wait that seemed to go on forever Josh and I will finally close on our house this week.
The Coastal Regional Commission recently unveiled a tentative plan to retrofit 13 of its coaches to run on compressed natural gas or propane. The change, of course, was designed as a cost-saving measure as alternative fuels cost between $1.75 and $2 per gallon compared with gas prices of around $3.50 per gallon. But let's not forget the strategy's added benefit of being environmentally friendly. The CRC should be commended for using energy conservation to help save money and the planet, and more mass transit systems should follow the commission's lead - it may not be all ...
Each year, more than three trillion miles are traveled on America's roads, with a considerable amount of those - more than 113 billion -- occurring right here in Georgia. Our location and excellent road network means Georgia serves as a prime connecting route for vacationers and for freight movement. Georgia is the main route by which tourists from all over the USA and Canada reach popular year-round southern vacation destinations. And when we add the increasing numbers of tractor trailers traveling throughout the state, our roads are usually crowded.
This morning I was staring at my biscuit, wondering if it was a Christian biscuit or not.
Sixty-five new laws took effect in our state on Friday. New laws like immigration and Sunday alcohol sales have gotten much media attention since they were approved by lawmakers and signed by Gov. Nathan Deal.
July 4, 1776. On this date, we became "We the People." Thirteen colonies declared their independence from England, becoming the United States of America; and it is the only country to be organized where the people are in charge, not the government. The people of this country do not answer to a king, emperor or emir.
In politics, you must take advantage of windows of opportunity. Sometimes good ideas are sidetracked by unfortunate events, a bad economy or even personality conflicts among political leaders. Given the risk of delaying decisions, Georgia needs to address its transportation shortfall quickly and practically.
My fellow Georgians: In order to keep my national certification as a modest and much-beloved columnist, it is required that I submit to you at the first of every year my State of the Column message. (Yay! Clap! Clap! Clap!) I do that gladly today. For one thing, this will be a lot shorter and less boring than the State of the Union address (Boooo!) and, also, we don't have to endure a bunch of fawning politicians trying to be seen on national television. (Yay! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
Editor, Since Georgia's own Sen. Johnny Isakson voted for discriminating against pre-9/11 veterans and later against ending this discrimination, I've penned and sent the following to then-Senate Veterans' Affairs Chairman Bernie Sanders, I-VT, who introduced the Caregivers Expansion and Improvement Act of 2013:
It happened the other day. It's funny how things so simple can remind us of things so meaningful, of those sweets that are tucked inside our hearts and unknowingly treasured.
Two weeks ago, my husband, daughter and I struggled to come up with a fun way to pass a Sunday afternoon. My mother-in-law had just been staying with us, and she left that morning to head back to Florida. Since I'd given our house a good, thorough "pre-mother-in-law-visit" cleaning before she arrived, I was completely caught up on chores and housework.
With major policy decisions on transportation, education, health care and tax reform on the legislative agenda, Georgia should think beyond the traditional approach of spending more money as the solution for every problem. Focusing on ways to enhance economic opportunity and empower individuals beats doubling down on the status quo.
Editor, On behalf of Bryan County Children's Fund, I would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who helped to support the program this year. We were able to provide Christmas gifts to over 400 disadvantaged children in our county. This would not have been possible without collaboration and assistance from local churches, businesses, schools, social-service agencies and many others. The communitywide response was overwhelming. We are exceptionally thankful to The Good Ol' Boys, who raised funds through the annual Santa Scramble Golf Tournament and to Pembroke Advanced Communication for use of their space ...
Editor, I read Mr. Bruce McCartney's letter to the editor regarding the Wounded Warrior Project. He is totally correct. The project is top-heavy with a greedy group of executives. The top 10 officers have a compensation package from $150,000 to $333,000 a year. The remaining funds are disbursed to over 40 distribution organizations with similar management configurations.
Allen Peake is a man on a mission. The five-term Republican state representative from Macon is the driving force behind proposed legislation to legalize medical marijuana in Georgia. He may succeed this year after suffering a setback in 2014 when the House and Senate got into a bit of political brinksmanship at the last minute and failed to pass his bill, which had sailed through the House with only four negative votes.
My parents, according to the world's definition of "cool," were not. Neither drank, nor did either ever possess a credit card. Groceries and clothing were paid for in cash, utilities paid by check, and the only monthly payments they ever allowed themselves were a mortgage for a house, a short-term loan for another farm, and a couple of cars bought, over time, and paid for quickly.
When thinking about the $1.1 trillion spending bill passed by Congress last month, one might ask, "What does Congress have against conservation?"
Dear Cameron Charles Yarbrough: For the past 15 years, I have taken the opportunity at the beginning of the New Year to share some advice - first with your dad and his cousins and now with you, my great-grandson. I hope you don't mind and will bear with me. You probably would rather be playing with your Legos and I understand that but maybe something in this letter might make a difference in your life in years to come. I pray that will be so.
Editor, I've been seeing a lot more commercials for the Wounded Warrior Project on television recently, requesting that I send in my $19 per month.
A few years ago, the magazine I have long loved - Southern Living - changed. Like most Southerners, I have an aversion to change, which is why our traditions have such stranglehold. We never let go.
There's nothing like a good, old-fashioned road trip to ensure that good parenting habits and ground rules are not only broken, but stomped to smithereens and tossed out of a (moving car) window.

So after much debate I found a Glock 19 hiding in the lower shelf at my local gun store and the price was right so i bought it. Well when i took it to my in laws house for some play time I noticed it's shooting rather high. If i'm aiming at the center of a beer can at about 10 yards it goes well over it. I have to aim a couple inches below my target to make a hit.
The gun is uses and has the factory rear sights but a fiber front sight. I have no idea how to adjust for this. Any tips?

Ten fittest cities according to American Fitness Institute: Is Denver getting flabbier?
Back in February, we shared a list of America's ten fittest cities as compiled by Sharecare.com -- a roster on which Denver finished first. Now, however, the American Fitness Institute has issued rankings of its own, and while Denver finishes high, it's definitely not number one. Is Denver slipping down the fitness scale? Or is this an example of how results can differ from one study to the next? After all, three cities cited by AFI weren't even mentioned by Sharecare.com, including the top two.More photos below.
Count down the former's photo-illustrated top ten below, featuring AFI data and list comparisons -- and click here to see the complete (and massive) American Fitness Institute report.
Number 10: Sacramento
Total score: 66.9
Sharecare.com fitness ranking: Number 5
Number 9: Boston

Ex-Dividend Stocks: Johnson & Johnson, McGraw-Hill
QEP Resources
The oil and natural gas exploration and production company reported first-quarter earnings on April 24 of $155.2 million, or 87 cents a share, up from year-earlier earnings of $73.2 million, or 41 cents.
"We continue to see QEP as a viable liquids transition story (via upstream & midstream) with inexpensive natural gas optionality. Q1 proved challenging to forecast due to moving parts for both volumes and pricing in the midstream," Deutsche Bank analysts wrote in an April 25 report. "Our view remains that management understands the intrinsic value of the asset and will position QEP to realize value (from upstream & midstream) over the coming 12 months. While we acknowledge the near-term outlook is catalyst light; we maintain our Buy rating following Q1 results." Forward Annual Dividend Yield: 0.3%Six Flags Entertainment The theme park company reported on April 25 a first-quarter loss of $115.1 million, or $2.11 a share, compared with a year-earlier loss of $148.5 million, or $2.67. "While it still very early in the operating season, we believe SIX has laid out a sound strategy, which should continue to drive positive operating trends and we remain impressed with management's solid execution on these initiatives," KeyBanc Capital Markets analysts wrote in an April 25 report. "That said, we believe much of the operational improvement, primarily on the cost front, has been realized and we would expect further improvements in key operating metrics to be more challenging and come at a more moderate pace, specifically on admissions per capita. Longer-term, we believe SIX operates in an attractive industry and we believe management is fully committed to enhancing shareholder value, which would be a catalyst in the way of stock repurchases and further dividend increases. However, we view high investor expectations, recently strong stock performance and a potential moderation in key operating metrics compared to recent years as somewhat limiting factors in really driving significant near-term outperformance. As such, we await a more attractive entry point and therefore maintain our HOLD rating on the stock." Forward Annual Dividend Yield: 5.4% -- Written by Alexandra Zendrian
