You're Ready To Get Married, But He Isn't… What's Going On?
By KaraOh
"Often a man gives up his dreams: dreams of being a bachelor and dreams of the work he desires. Not only is he giving that up, but, if marriage and family have been your priority, you're getting your dreams fulfilled." Men Made Easy
We laugh and joke all the time about how men don't want to get married. But men do get married…all the time; two and a half million of them every year. And how many adult men (who are straight) do you know who have never been married? Hardly any. But there is some truth to the jokes because men do seem to drag their heels and put it off as long as possible.
At the core of this issue is how differently men and women view marriage. For starters, most women are preparing to get married from day one, when they first fell in love with their daddy. Didn't you and your friends pretend wedding? By contrast, how many little boys were playing wedding? For women, getting married is a dream-come-true; the culmination of the fantasy that began the first time they heard a fairy tale with a prince in it. Isn't that what princes are for, to whisk the beautiful maiden off to his castle to live happily-ever-after? Sure, some of you are into your careers and postponing marriage, but if you follow any conversation between women, eventually they'll get around to talking about men and their relationships with men.
In my research for my book, I discovered the two reasons that a man doesn't get married:
He's not ready.
You're not the right one.
That's it, there only two. You could be the right one, but if he's not ready, he's very likely to let you go. He may come back, but by then, you've continued with your quest and found a man who is ready. You see, men don't fantasize about getting married. They know it will happen one day, as part of the process of growing up. But they usually don't want to rush it unless they're the type that lives in the moment and doesn't pay much attention to the consequences of their actions. Most men are outward; they set and achieve goals, solve problems, accomplish things in the world.
They don't sit around and daydream about what life will be like when they're married. They're too focused on being successful and creating security for the future. It's the hunter instinct. Plan ahead and make sure everyone is safe and well-fed. If either of those things aren't handled, he's considered a failure. Not okay for a hunter. That's why most men need to have a secure, stable job before they "take the plunge."
So when a man gets old enough to think maybe he should start considering settling down, getting married and having a family, it's a nuts-and-bolts decision, not a fantasy-come-true. Yes, he likes being married, likes the home a wife creates, his stature that grows among his peers and in his community and the stability it brings. But he also sees marriage as the time he gives up his freedom.

Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel Spotted Out Together
Justin Timberlake and lady love Jessica Biel are spotted outside UCLA Medica Center on Friday, February 10. 2012.
fuck you two bitches..look first at the mirror before you judged someone else...
Maybe not THE ugliest... but definitely hideous!! I don't mean to be mean... but she just makes me feel bad when I see her picture... just to look at her... I think it is maybe an extremely conceited bearing and facial expressions that I perceive. She may be a sweetheart, but I don't get that vibe from her.
She is seriously the ugliest actress in Hollywood!!!!!

The right experience
Is it better to be the experienced Washington bureaucrat who knows the ins and outs of legislating or the fresh-faced outsider who isn't tainted by years of backroom dealings? The Elantra and Focus are mostly able to balance the best of both worlds thanks to their size: They're small enough to slice through the snarling urban traffic and negotiate the bizarre intersections that make up D.C.'s "grid," and yet they have no issue flying at 80 mph on dangerously congested highways. Steering in both cars is quick, but not nervously so.
There are a few holes in the Ford and Hyundai's commuter car resumes, though. Both cars, for instance, suffer in stop-and-go traffic due to their fuel-economy-focused, numerically low gearing. It was especially noticeable in the Ford, despite the power advantage afforded by its 2.0-liter four-cylinder (159 hp compared to 148 hp from the Elantra's 1.8-liter), as we were constantly working the manual gearbox to keep up with traffic. The saving grace here is that the Focus has one of the best stick-shifts we've experienced in a domestic compact, with linear clutch take-up and smooth shift action.
The Elantra has a harder to dismiss issue in its ride quality. We expected the Elantra, with the longer wheelbase of the two cars, to be the more mature cruiser. Alas, its suspension crashes over potholes and jitters across highway expansion joints. Here's where Ford's experience comes into play. Blue Oval engineers perfected the art of small-car suspension tuning more than a decade ago with the first Focus and have demonstrated that acumen as recently as last year with the smaller Fiesta. The new Focus follows the same theme. Its four-wheel independent suspension calmly absorbs road imperfections that had the Hyundai's torsion-beam rear axle pitching about the contents of its trunk.

The problem I am facing is that whenever I send my C.V. to any agency, they do reply but when they forward my cv to the companies they never come back to me. Its been almost four months now and I havent faced any personnal interview. Everyday i get calls from different agencies but nothing happens. I have tried changes like a month ago I made new cv with the help of professional cv writer. I got good responses but still only from agencies. Please send me some suggestions and I would highly appreciate if anybody likes to review my cv and give me some feedback on that. Thanx Ash Posted 11/12/2012

Every now and again, the GFCI receptacle on one of our kitchen's small-appliance branch circuits trips. This occurs when our refrigerator's ice-maker water valve solenoid energizes or de-energizes. I've always been somewhat puzzled by this, being that the refrigerator is downstream of the unprotected side of the receptacle. This has happened infrequently, probably several dozen times in the past ten years, since we've lived here. But I've always chalked it up to just a flaky GFCI receptacle nuisance-tripping.
Does anyone have a more dire assessment that I should be aware of? |

I never, I repeat, never, put a refrigerator on a GFCI. |
Read it again. |

OK, I've read it again. What is your take? Other option is to put refer on a dedicated circuit which we usually do. |
GFCI's are electronic devices and they usually do a pretty good job of ignoring electrical noise. That doesn't mean that they are totally immune. Evidently, there is something about that solenoid valve that gets the GFI confused & causes a trip. Since the refrigerator is not protected by the GFI, you're in no danger of losing its contents. If it is bothersome, try a new GFI, Underwriters Labs tightened up the performance specs a few years ago & I believe the newer ones are less prone to nuisance tripping. |
Tex: Well, my 'take' is that the receptacle my fridge is on is NOT downstream of the protected side. Therefore, the fridge, though it is the cause, is completely unaffected by the effect of the trip. I'm well aware that one shouldn't put things like refrigerators, freezers, sump pumps, etc., on GFCI. You seem to be reading my post as if I have, and as a result am losing power to the fridge when it trips, which I am not. :-) Tom: That's what I figured. I read some time ago that the newer-gen devices are more "robust" in their noise rejection. I've just been too lazy to change it out since the trips are relatively infrequent, and the biggest inconvenience is having to reach behind the microwave, push the reset button on the receptacle, and reset the time. I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something, and endangering myself or my family as a result. Thanks. |

The US government artificially drives up the prices of wheat by limiting the amount of wheat that could be produced on any given acre. In the case of Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942), a U.S. Supreme Court decision was handed down upholding the authority of the federal government to regulate economic activity by limiting the amount of wheat produce by a farmer.
Notably, Canada is the world's biggest exporter of spring wheat, durum and malting barley. Since World War II, Canadian farmers are required to sell their wheat and barley under a marketing monopoly via a Canadian Wheat Board, established by the Canadian government in order to control prices. The Canadian government intends to pass legislation to end the monopoly in August 2012; most likely as a direct result of inclement weather and contaminants, adversely affecting farmer's crops within Canada.
It would be remiss to negate governments (of certain countries) direct responsibility for high food prices.
What about food staples such as potatoes and others that aren't publicly traded on future commodities markets?
They really haven't moved that much at all in wholesale price. Prices are increasingly being driven by short-term positions which now make up anywhere from 35-40% of the trades on the commodities markets on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange as more money pours into commodities chasing higher yields out of bonds.
While this is great for the financial firms who have seen booms that have really boosted their profits from the trading desk positions that focus on commodity markets, it has thrown everyone in food industry production and processing industries into turmoil because all of the extreme short-term volatility of the past few years has caused real turmoil in future planning.
Yes, while adverse weather conditions and other factors have certainly played a large part in increasing global food prices.
The inverse is also true in that governments and central banks around the world have flooded markets with excess amounts of dollars thereby decreasing their value in relation to other commodities, namely agricultural commodities.

ABC News' Dana Hughes reports from Nairobi: "Boeing 767 Crashes Outside of Harare Airport" was the breaking news headline splashed across the wires and international television and radio outlets earlier today. The story was labelled "developing" as small details started to emerge…plane was coming from London, injuries but no fatalities. Zimbabwean journalists at the scene reported seeing smoke, ambulances, fire trucks, and distressed people claiming to be relatives of the accident victims. The head of Zimbabwe's civil aviation authority, David Chawota, confirmed the crash to reporters. "I can confirm that a 767 plane coming from London has had an accident at Harare airport," he told AFP news agency. To Reuters he said, "I can confirm there has been an accident, but I cannot give details right now. I am not at the site, but there are just injuries, no deaths." But in reality there were no injuries or deaths because…there was no plane crash. After the British Foreign Office confirmed to news organizations, including ABC News, that they thought the accident was actually a drill and that, in fact, there weren't any planes flying from London to Harare today – the jig was up. When I spoke to Mr. Chawota, he confirmed it was a "false alarm," but wouldn't give details about the drill. He later held a press conference where he said everything was part of a safety drill: the fire, the emergency services; even the distressed "relatives" were hired actors. He told reporters lying to the press was part of the plan. "Telling the media was part of the exercise," he said. "We wanted to see how the media would react." The press reacted. And so did the British government who fielded calls from various news outlets and had to send someone from the embassy in Harare to the airport to check out the scene. This isn't the first time an African country's aviation authority had a drill causing confusion. In 2006 Kenya conducted a drill at its international airport. It announced the drill to select airport and police officials a month in advance, but officials who were unaware broke the "news" to international media in the country leading to a similar result to today's. The drills are part of an effort by African civil aviation authorities to meet international aviation standards. Currently Africa has the worst aviation safety record in the world. A U.S. Government Accountability Office report last year showed that planes flying within the continent are 15 times more likely to crash on average than planes in North America. The U.S. transportation authority has been working with African governments to help their aviation industries meet international standards. Part of that plan however, didn't seem to include unannounced drills and giving deliberate misinformation to journalists.

Man sentenced to life in prison for injuries that killed girlfriend's daughter
UPDATE: The jury sentenced Stephen Odom to life in the January 2012 death of Ja'Kyra Henderson, 3.
JEFFERSON COUNTY - From Jefferson County District Attorney's Office
Stephen Demond Odom, 32, was sentenced today (1/17/14) to a term of life in the state penitentiary in connection with a 2011 injury to a child case. The sentence resulted from a jury trial in the Criminal District Court of Jefferson County during the week of January 13, 2014. Judge John Stevens presided during the trial.
On January 15, 2012, Beaumont EMS responded to a call for assistance at a local nursing home. There they found three year old Jakyra Henderson unresponsive and with no pulse. The childs mother and the defendant had taken the child by the nursing home (where the mother worked) while on the way to seek medical attention for Jakyra. Jakyras mother and nursing staff at the facility noted that she was limp and unresponsive, and the staff was already trying to revive Jakyra when EMS arrived. She was immediately transported to Christus St. Elizabeth hospital, where she was declared deceased at 7:20 a.m. that day.
An autopsy was ordered due to the unusual nature of death, and it was determined that she had died from blunt force trauma to the abdomen and had multiple injuries to her internal organs, all at various stages of healing.
A Crime Stoppers segment aired on the first anniversary of Jakyras death, which led to a call from a friend of the family. She informed police that Jakyras older brother Jacob had made an outcry that he had seen Odom "punch" his sister in the stomach.
Odom was indicted in March of 2013, and the conviction is for a first degree felony based upon the fact that the jury ruled that it was an intentional act.
Prosecutor Lindsey Scott said, "It turned my stomach when the defense argued for probation, and I argued to the jury that probation would be offensive for this crime. This was about justice for Jakyra, and a life term is justice."
Under Texas law, a life term for Odom means that he cannot be considered for parole until his actual time served (plus any "good time" credits awarded by penitentiary officials) equals thirty (30) years.
BEAUMONT - The jury is now deliberating in the punishment phase of the trial of a man it convicted of causing injuries that led to the death of his girlfriend's daughter.
KFDM is covering the trial. Stay with KFDM and kfdm.com for updates.
The jury convicted Stephen Odom, 32, of a First Degree Felony charge of Injury to a Child in the January 2012 death of Ja'Kyra Henderson, 3.
The jury in Judge John Stevens court deliberated for about four hours Thursday before finding Odom guilty. The punishment phase began Friday morning. The jury began deliberating in the punishment phase at about 1:30 p.m. Friday after hearing from witnesses, including Odom. He faces up to life in prison. He testified in his own defense Friday in the punishment phase.
Prosecutors say Odom struck Henderson so violently it pushed her liver against her spine. The girl's brother testified that in the past, he'd seen Odom punch his sister in the stomach. Odom testified in his own defense Thursday and denied hitting the girl,
The prosecutor is asking the jury to give Odom 'severe' jail time but she wouldn't specify how much time. The defense is asking for probation. This is Odom's first felony conviction.
The jury convicted him of a First Degree Felony of intentionally injuring the girl. He faces a sentence of up to life in prison but is also eligible for probation. The jury was also allowed to consider a Second Degree Felony charge of Injury to a Child. A conviction on that charge would have led to a punishment ranging from probation to up to 20 years.

Hi all,
I am looking to measure proliferation rate using DiI (red), a lipophilic dye. The cells I am using are A549-H2B-GFP cells that stably express GFP. I inject the A549-H2B-GFP cells with DiI and measure proliferation by FACS (DiI stain intensity will half ezch cell division cycle).
I was hoping someone has experience with fixing cells stained with DiI. I am aware that GFP can leak if fixed in 4% PFA and that it is pH dependent (7.4 is optimal?). Does DiI do the same thing? Unfortunately, as I need to travel to another site to perform FACS, my samples must be fixed and so I would like to know if anyone has experienced problems with losing DiI following PFA fixation.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Submit your paper to J Biol Methods today!

I don't think that you'll lose DiI signal after fixation, as it is a small molecular dye and covalently bound to proteins in the cell. However, I think you'll lose all of your GFP signal upon fixation (GFP as protein needs a defined tertiary structure for resonance). The best would be to use unfixed cells as a control. How long is your travel time? Cells can survive at least 2h on ice. Maybe you can handle your cells at the site of the FACS, I guess they'll have some equipment for that.
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier

carthell Posts: 128I had the problem. Rather than fiddling with the LED or other electrical components of the clock/temp display (I don't think any dealer has the equipment to fix electronics), my dealer replaced the unit. Hasn't given me any trouble since. Of course, my unit failed during the warranty period.

lynn33 Posts: 1Hello,
I bought a new [2007]Suzuki wagon last spring and noticed it pulling to the left the first time I drove it on the highway.
I'd also started noticing that the warning lights on the dash for brakes and battery would come on sometimes. Not all the time, just come on for a while and then go off.
I mentioned it to the guys in the service department when I took it in for alignment and after they worked on it, the warning lights stopped coming on.
For a while. But then they started doing it again and I thought it was an electrical malfunction until a month or so later, when my car's battery died while I was driving it.
The car had started with no problem and kept going while I drove on the highway, but when I slowed to exit it seemed to lose power and went completely dead shortly after I got off the exit ramp. The guy who came out from TripleA tried to jumpstart the battery and it would start up, but then it wouldn't hold the charge even long enough to drive it up on the tow truck. At the dealership they said it was just a bad battery [said there are a few bad ones in every batch.] They put a new one in and the car seemed to be working fine -until last night. It's only been two months and I've been extra cautious, since they replaced the battery, to be sure no lights were left on, etc., so there must be something else draining it. The warning lights on the dash were coming again and I kept thinking I'd better get it into the shop again but kept putting it off. I work by appointment doing massage therapy and need a big car for my equipment. It's hard taking the time to get it to the dealership and sometimes they don't have a big enough loaner car available, etc.
Shouldn't have to be taking a brand new car in for repair so much. It is my responsibility, as a disabled vehicle in the road is a danger to myself and others; but I'm wondering at this point if the problem is going to get resolved by taking it to the dealership again tomorrow. I've heard they're not very good with electrical problems.
Is there something that causes a car battery to die while you're driving it, as opposed to it not wanting to start up, which is the usual sequence of events?
Thank you for taking the time to listen and (please:) give me some advice.

pychogirlfrien Posts: 12Okay, I'm kind of complex here...I bought my car Class A. I don't know if I have ANY sort of warrenty to speak of. Especially after letting all this time go by. Back at 30,000 miles or before, intermittantly at first, my thermometer / clock light wouldn't come on, or would go out when I turned on my headlights. It was weird. Now, for months it won't come on at all. I am at 100,000 miles plus. Is my Check Engine Light coming on possibly Electrical in nature?? I swear it came on at precisely 100,000 miles, but of course, it took me a little over a week to get the time to let the car stay at the shop for the day. By then, I was waay over the 100,000. Do I have any hope with a dealer, especially since they have NO possibility of making any future money on me?

pychogirlfrien Posts: 12I'm surprised one of the "real mechanical" types hasn't said anything. But did someone finally mention your alternator? From what I understand your battery has a charge. Then you use the charge to start your car; then in the ensuing time right after that it is re-charged by your alternator converting the turning engine energy into more electrical energy that goes back into your battery. If, your alternator is dead, or not doing it's job, then your battery continues depleting by all your headlight use and restarts until dead. Depending on your battery size, it may only give you one or three starts and that's it. I had a battery issue, I thought, long ago, and that's how my problem solved itself out.

tornspeedo Posts: 6OK.....Here's the synopsis.Water entered down radio antenna into "A" pillar then flowed inside wire loom to the fusepanel under dash and an elec module at firewall near fuse panel.This shorted something just enough to activate half the ignition circuit.The issue has self cleared after 24 hour drying out period.Fix will include one of following. )an O ring and/or heat shrink seal at base of roof mtd. radio antenna. )OR ........Jack up said antenna and slide a new car under it.

carthell Posts: 128Electrical work, uggh. It is hahd. Some background:
1) Residential phone system. Every few months, I would get no dial tone from any of my phones. The solution presented by my phone company was to unplug everything, wait for the company's equipment to reset the breakers, then plug everything back in. One day, the problem got so bad that I went to the local big box hardware store, bought wire, a network wiring book, a polarity tester, new jacks, and junction boxes. Found out that the problem was related to the polarity - the electricity through the 'phone wires were simply running in the wrong way. After running new wire to certain parts of the house and cleaning up the connections (originally put together with electrical tape and plastic twist terminals), everything has worked fine since. I helped a friend solve a portion of his problem when he could not get DSL service.
2) Fuse problem. This was a cakewalk: My mom was buying fuses very few days for a certain circuit in the house. I asked around, and realized that the replacement fuses being bought didn't have as high an amperage rating as the original. A purchase of a fuse that had a 10A-difference rating solved the problem.
If you want to do this on your own:
The simplest thing to do is to make sure that the amperage rating of the replacement fuses that you're buying matches the original.
The other step (and you MUST have a good background in automotive tech), you'll have to find a electrical diagram of your car (time-limited e-subscriptions are available via Suzuki USA's web site) and a powered probe/meter device available from you local hardware or specialty electronics shop. Start testing the connections between the dash and taillight circuits and other circuits that should NOT cross-connect until you find a fault.
Otherwise, please ask the auto shops in your area for a recently-certified ASE tech with a lot of electrical experience and patience. I speculate that your mechanic gave your car back because of either a realization that the problem:
a) has a life of its own, and deliberately hides until you reclaim your car (I've
experienced this w/others for different electronics);
b) probably will exceed your ability to pay for the time and resources needed to fix everything properly;
c) exceeded the mechanic's set of skills and resources needed to resolve the situation.
Nope, I'm not an electrical guy. I "play" with technology to see how things work.

carthell Posts: 128As a result, I can barely see in the daytime the cruise control and left-side tachometer displays on my 2003 SX. The diagrams I have access to show that a panel above the display and the display's front cover can be removed; the display can then be lifted from where it is after removing 4 screws. I'm a little worried about the force that would be needed to remove the items (I used a finger to poke at the edges of the top and front covers; the seal is tight.) Of course, there's no guarantee that the lights are replaceable even if I managed to free the instrument display.
Has anyone tried to do this? If you've changed the tint of the display, your input is valued, also.
-d -
Muddycat Posts: 3I have a 2001 Suzuki Esteem wagon that has lots of electrical problems... To start with, the rear defroster is automatically "on" (or the light is in the button on the dash panel) every time I turn the car on, until I put the car in reverse, then back into first. Then the light goes off. When that light is on, the rear windshield wiper won't work. When it's off, the wiper works fine.
However, that's only a small piece of it. The centre brake light in the middle of the tailgate window doesn't work unless I have the car idling in neutral, then sometimes it does but not always. The brake lights on either side at the back work fine. BUT the reverse lights in the tailgate don't work either. They are on, but so dim they are not useful for anything - you have to cup your hands around them to see that they are on at all. The bulbs in these have been replaced with only a marginal improvement.
The car also has a problem with run-on, which I've been told could be connected to my having bought the car at sea-level and now am driving it at roughly 500m above sea level? The car runs fine, but these little issues pile up and start to annoy. The run-on thing can be an issue - I can have my key out of the ignition completely and it will still be running until I take my foot off the brake which causes it to make an unhappy noise and shudder to a stop (which I try not to do). What the?....
There are no Suzuki dealerships anywhere near my small BC town, and I don't want to go back out to Vancouver to get it looked at. Any suggestions? I'm also a student and too broke right now to sink much money in. I'm wondering if other people are having these problems and whether or not anyone's made a stink about it. The car is only seven years old - it seems a bit ridiculous to have this many electrical things going wrong in a car so young. Unfortunately, none of these problems were apparent during the test drives or the pre-purchase inspection (we knew about the reverse lights and were assured that it was likely an issue of the bulbs needing replacement which we now know is not the issue.) -
tornspeedo Posts: 6It sounds to me as if you have a bad ground to tailgate which will cause numerous symptoms due to electrical back feeds from the defroster,rear wiper,backup lights,anything else thats tailgate mounted and electric.Also be sure to run an 8 or 10 gauge wire from the tailgate to ground(any metal surface) as well as the battery to the fender or some other nearby grounded point other than the engine block.This may solve most of your issues.The tailgate ground wire is most likely already in the orig. harness so if you can find that and follow it into wherever that ground ring and bolt or screw (won't be far along) and be sure of good tight elec connection.Usually hidden at floor level maybe under a rear seat? Hope this is helpful. DT
tornspeedo Posts: 6Refrence #s 11 and 12,Upon further investigation I found that the rain water from "A pillar" harness had slowly filled up fuses panel cover under dash as well as another unknown module at base of steering column.I drilled two 1/8 dia. holes in lowest corners of fuse cover to allow drainage and I guess the other module dried out on it's own.Car has not repeated issue throughout many heavy rains.Anybody want to buy a knife switch? DT
Muddycat Posts: 3Thanks - that's quite helpful. There is a location I've noticed where the wiring goes through a tube and from beneath the hatch floor to underneath the back seat - I was actually wondering whether the wires might be wearing a bit there, since it's directly in the path of friction every time the seats are lowered.
Any idea about the run-on issue? I've been told it may also be an issue of the engine running too rich?
Thanks again for your help - it's really appreciated. -
tornspeedo Posts: 6Electrical backfeeds are tricky devils.The run on could be another symptom of a bad tailgate ground also as the rear defroster and backup lights are both ignition controlled circuits and there is no ground to either it is possible that one(the defroster) is feeding through itself back around the ungrounded loop to the backuplight circuit,through the filaments thus keeping just enough voltage on that half of ign. to keep the ignition at above 6 volts,not enough to "latch" a fuel solenoid but certainly enough to keep said solonoid latched once already there.It is also important to test all under dash fuses as well as the ones under the hood near the battery.There is most likely an open ground somewhere either from engine to fender,or tailgate to wherever or both causing this myraid of issues.Also watch for water in the under dash fuses panel and that silver module at the base of the steering column.This was a similar issue I recently had.See numbers 11,12 and 19 in this thread.Good luck and happy holidays Muddycat, Torpedo out.
work4justice Posts: 2I had a real good mechanic look for days to figure it out and finallbroke down and took it to a dealer. IT took them a week to fix it. There was a switch in the steering column that went but they also found a problem in the wiring harness in the headlights. Whey the problem took a few years to surface is beyond me but that is the story they gave me. They did not charge me full price to fix it as I could have bought a new car with the labor expense. I was in constant contact with them on it and told them if the cost to fix it was going to be too high I would rather trade it in for a new one. They charged me $500 or so. I think the switch they replaced was about $200
mrslip1234 Posts: 4How do you open the hatch back when the key and remote fails to work. I have tried to open the back in many ways but am unsucsessfull. MY left rear tail light is out, it may be related to this problem. please help.
The only thing I can do is try to take off the inner rear door panel to see if I can pull the releas mechanism. The drivers manual has no release listed for the hatchback just the sedan. I am hoping I can get it to open .
any thoughts -
carthell Posts: 128The back hatch can also be released via the power door lock switch on the driver's door, Open the doors twice in rapid succession. You should hear another "clunk" from the back lock on the second open. Also remember that the rubber trim around the hatch edge can be (for me, at least) so sticky at times that you can be fooled into believing that the hatch is still locked. Put a little more muscle into opening the hatch.
If you truly can't open the door manually from the key slot on the hatch that would imply that a control rod in the lock mechanism has loosened significantly, keeping you from opening the hatch conventionally. There are two anchors and some bolts that help hold the plastic trim to the hatch located along the edges of the hatch door (I also looked at my car to confirm the locations), and are very hard (if near-impossible) to get to while the hatch is closed. If the hatch simply isn't stuck in place by the rubber trim, you'll have to start (argh!) cutting into the hatch's interior plastic cover to get to the lock mechanism. -
tornspeedo Posts: 6These wagons/hatchbacks are known for having a loose ground to hatch. You may try an alligator type jumper wire from a known ground to the hatch then try the electric release. It concerns me that the key will not operate the hatch as if the linkage may have fallen off inside the hatch. The key as far as I know is completely independant of the electrical issue and should be mechanically connected to the release mechanisim.Another trick would be to turn the rear wiper on, and with the ignition off try the release button. This would "fool' ground the hatch to the de-energized iginition circuit which at that point(ign off) is one big ground. Good luck...I think you will be pullin that inner panel if none of these work.

Overall Experience
Great Sleep and Awesome Staff
January 20, 2015
The Staff at this facility was awesome and so helpful. I appreciate the time they spent with me in answering my questions. They were very hospitable... Thanks!
The beds are to die for at this location - best nights sleep in a long time - very comfortable.
Great place to stay
January 17, 2015
The suite was huge. It was well worth the money! The breakfast was wonderful.
Next thing to being at home
January 15, 2015
If you have to stay in a hotel for an extended period of time, this is certainly the place to stay! It was like staying in an apartment, only with people downstairs who cooked you breakfast every morning! The rooms were comfortable, the kitchen was full service for making my own meals, which saved me ton not having to eat out all the time, the staff were attentive and discreet, and the the place stayed quiet and enjoyable. At this price point, this is a great deal! Best extended stay option in the area
Standard fare
January 12, 2015
Not a great stay, Some of the staff were just awesome, others not so much, I had issues with the heating which were sorted out in the morning, but my one nights stay was uncomfortable.

This is the final ride in our exploration of parks near Crockett and Martinez (you can see the other two journeys here and here.) TBO and I always inadvertently use the steepest access points to the ridge — so there was definitely some hike-and-bike action today — but it's worth it to see the breathtaking views of the green hillsides, Mt. Diablo and the Carquinez Strait. Then we took an easy post-ride jaunt along the new George Miller bike path, which TBO hadn't ridden yet (he missed its former incarnation when the pavement was painted with graffiti and cracked and worn from the weather.)
Category words
Carquinez Regional Park is a beautiful area to hike near the small town of Crockett — especially when the hillsides are lush and green — and it offers lovely panoramic views of the Carquinez Strait. A perfect place to take the shibas!
'Twas a spectacular day to ride the trails in Marin; with several days' rain making the dirt nice and tacky, it was a perfect opportunity to ride to The Pelican Inn for lunch. Bridget, Daniel, Jason, John, Neil, TBO and myself met up at Mojo (where we saw Arena!), then took Bobcat to Marincello to Coastal. We bumped into our friend Justin (and dfL Todd) at the pub, and he tagged along for the ride back via Dias Ridge and Miwok (although a few of us skipped that part and dropped down to Mill Valley on the 1.) Good times!
This was my first year riding the annual "Davis Dart" organized by the Davis Bike Club! I corralled a team consisting of members from our weekly East Bay Wednesday night social-rando ride, "Ride to Eat": Denise, Frankie (who unfortunately had to drop out at the last minute), Jason and Martin. We had a blast on our flat, fun course that began at 6AM in Martinez, wound through the Delta, traversed the American River Trail, then finished at Sudwerk in Davis. Thanks to Eric Senter and the DBC for putting together a terrific event, and high-five to my teammates for an awesome day!
Here's a list of highlights:
Number of teammates in matching Oakland jerseys from Montano Velo: 4 out of 4 (thanks to Frankie for the idea!)
How many teams we saw at the start: 1 (Will Ride For Beer)
And how many teams we saw the rest of the day: 0
The total number of controls: 7
Amount of big-ass pumpkin loaves Denise had to carry for Jason: 1
Mind-blowing number of sausages eaten by Jason and Martin at our lunch control (LowBrau in Sac): 6
Number of pretzel buns vs. regular buns: 2-2
Bags of duck fat fries we nibbled on: 1/2 from our table neighbors, 1/2 of our own order
Number of ginger beers consumed: 3
How many times my camera decided to have a meltdown: 1
How many times I had to recharge my phone as a result: 2
Number of bridges we crossed: 9
Hours spent in the fog: 3
Miles spent on bike trails: 27
How many fucks given when a truck told us to ride single file when we were in a bike lane in Sac: 0
Number of times Martin's Garmin got pissed at us when we missed a turn and went off-route: hella
Amount of happiness riding single track along the Sacramento River: infinite
City limit signs won by Jason vs. me: 8-5
How often we marveled at the scenery: non-stop
Number of happy randonneurs at the finish: too many to count
Total number of martinis consumed at Sudwerk: 2 (thanks to Eric W. for buying me 1!)
Number of beers consumed by other randos at Sudwerk: I can't count that high
Shots of whiskey downed on the train back to Martinez: 1 (thanks to Steve H. for that one!)
Mary of Chasing Mailboxes launched another fun "Coffeeneuring Challenge" this year (see her blog for all of the details and rules, and in the fine tradition of randonneuring, there's lots of rules!)
This was my first time participating, and it was great to share stories with other coffeeneurs (via Facebook) and ride with my fellow randos in search of good caffeinated beverages! I hope to participate again next year.
Coffeeneuring Ride #1: Scarlet City Espresso Bar (10/19)
Rode with Ann, Bryan, Denise and The Bearded One to Scarlet City in Emeryville for (my personal favorite) vegan cappuccinos, coffee and pastries, then a bike ride to Berkeley for beers at Pyramid!
Coffeeneuring Ride #2: Quick cuppa with TBO before I had to produce a video shoot today at Kilovolt Coffee in Emeryville! (10/25)
Coffeeneuring Ride #3: Fred's Vintage Ride (and early birthday celebration) to Pt. Richmond! (10/26)
We got a late start but caught up with Jason and Paloma on the road. Then it was time for brunch at Little Louie's and some exploring of the new (to us) Bay Trail section near the historic Red Oak Victory WW2 ship!
Coffeeneuring Ride #4 & #5: Post-Del Puerto Canyon 200k and Arbor Cafe (11/1 & 11/2)
Ann, Denise, Pudu and I all rode the DPC 200k. The finish was at a Starbucks in Pleasanton, and Ann, Jason and myself did a 2-mile out-and-back after our brevet so we get our #coffeenneuring ride in. Poor Pudu had crashed during his ride, so he valiantly rallied to do this final "recovery" ride afterwards to get his C5! While still nursing his wounds, he treated me to a cappuccino the following morning at Oakland's Arbor Cafe before setting out to do his official C6 ride with Ann and Denise!
Coffeeneuring Ride #6: Denise & I rode 87 miles (an out-and-back permanent from Benicia to Winters with some bonus miles thrown in when we got temporarily lost), then did a short 2.5 post-ride jaunt to one of our favorite bakeries: Arizmendi. Had a slice of fresh sourdough pizza with hot tea! Highlight of the day: when we got off-course, we stumbled upon a roadside table with Fuyu persimmons for sale (4 for a $1!) — I would have bought more but alas, didn't have any cash — so Denise was kind enough to buy me two. (11/8)
Coffeeneuring Ride #7: Challenge Complete! (11/9)
One of my favorite things to do on Sunday is go for a lazy bike ride to a delicious dim sum place. Jason met TBO & I in Berkeley for a feast at the Imperial Tea Court; it's a high-end tea shop with a tranquil outdoor patio and zen garden. Then for dessert, we headed to Guerilla for more caffeine (cappucino + coffee) and chocolate-cherry-toffee-chip cookies!
I'm going to submit my results on this special "BREWSA" card I designed!

Rinzai is saying, "I never fail anybody. I simply see straight to which place this man is coming from, in which space he is. I see whether he is hesitant, doubtful, uncertain, looking for guidance, or is full of knowledge which is borrowed, and has a great ego as if he knows."
If he should not come in a particular way, he would have bound himself without a rope.
Everybody looks as if they are free; nobody is handcuffed, nobody is bound by a rope. But look a little closely: you are bound by too many ropes, which are pulling you in certain directions, and perhaps in contradictory directions. That creates split personalities, that creates fragmentary personalities.
You may call those ropes love, you may call those ropes ambitions, desires, jealousies, hate - it does not matter what you call them, they are all ropes. But if your mind has any content in it, that content becomes your rope.
Only a contentless mind knows what freedom is.
From the outside everybody looks free, but Rinzai is talking about the ropes that are invisible. And you can understand, you can see your own ropes - your fixations with the mother, with the father, with the wife, with the husband, with the children, with your friends, with your enemies.
It happened when Mahatma Gandhi was shot in 1948. Jinnah was the man who had fought Gandhi his whole life for a separation of the country into two parts - a separate and sovereign country for Mohammedans. He was sitting in his garden reading a newspaper when his secretary came running and told him that Gandhi had been shot, he was dead. The secretary could not believe that Jinnah had tears in his eyes. He did not say anything, he simply went back into his room. In fact, at the same moment Jinnah died. He became sick and he never came out of his room.
Many times he was asked, "Why should you be so much concerned? You were perfectly healthy. This news of Gandhi."
Jinnah said, "Now I can see that even with enemies there is a certain relationship. Without Gandhi I am no more. And if Gandhi can be shot by a Hindu, I can be shot by a Mohammedan any moment." He had never had guards around his home before Gandhi was shot. He had refused, saying that "Even to conceive that any Mohammedan will do any damage to my life is just absurd. I have fought for them, I have given them their country." But the day Gandhi died, he immediately ordered that guards should be put around his home.
Nobody could understand that it would be such a shock to him. He himself could not understand it: "I should rather be happy that Gandhi is dead, but my eyes are full of tears. Without Gandhi I have lost myself. Fighting with him was my whole life. Half of my life is finished. Now I have to live a crippled life" - and he never became healthy again, he died just a few months afterwards.

If you've never thought to yourself while watching porn, "I know that girl…" then you're probably watching the porn produced by Mofos site I Know That Girl. Obviously not the amateur extravaganza it's advertised as, I Know That Girl instead gives us hardcore romps with porn's newest and most promising hotties and degenerates shot in High Definition POV scenes as intimate as they are outlandish, as memorable as they are watchable. As part of the Mofos network, I Know That Girl has plenty to offer even outside its own content, but none of it, not a single scene, is truly amateur… if that matters at all.
Peter North has drowned an absolutely fucking insane amount of women in his ejaculate, yet he diplomatically invites you to bear witness to his legendary cumshots on this, his official online home on the Fame Digital network. With Tera Patrick, Rocco Siffredi, and Silvia Saint as his network-mates, North is in good company as he presents his members with his best work both in front of and behind the camera. Although he is mostly retired from performing these days, this is still a fantastic trip down memory lane whether you're here on a wanna-see-girls-get-plastered or gee-peter-norths-cock-looks-so-tasty basis. (What can I say? Ladies love Peter North!)
Everyone has to start somewhere and, for most young pornstar wannabes, that somewhere is a site much like She's New. This particular gateway to adult superstardom is presented by Team Skeet and focuses on teen and young adult sluts eager to make their mark. Whether a staged 'homemade' shoot or an obvious porno debut, She's New captures these fame- and cock-hungry girls in their physical prime and invites you, the home viewer, to enjoy what could very well be the start of a brilliant career… or the last hardcore scene they ever shoot.
You know how we know we're living in the 21st Century? Everything viewable (TV, movies, books, porn et. al.) is not only presented digitally, but in High Definition, too. And until home viewing hits 4K resolution, 1080p HD is as good as it's gonna get, which is why Premium HDV can set its membership cost at $39.95 a month and still expect lots of sign-ups. The top-tier pornstars featured on this non-exclusive site are showcased in 540p, 720p, and 1080p videos that feel so real - well, as real as most porn can get - you'll be gasping for breath along with the incredibly lucky stuntcocks and they tear that pussy up in glorious High Definition.
Home to sites as wildly different as Mommy Blows Best and Immoral Live (but also counting a handful of fellatio-focused sites), My XXX Pass serves its fans and members a huge archive of highly smutty works of lesbian, hetero, and group sex. High Definition videos open a visual portal to, for example, 'Porno Dan' Leal's Immoral Live studio, a bare set that is utterly disinteresting until the pornstars show up and start fucking everything and everyone in sight. With five other websites actively producing content, there's more to My XXX Pass than Immoral Live, though… just not much.
Close to halfway through its mission to splatter the faces of a thousand women, 1000 Facials seems to be doing very well. After all, it offers members high-res images and HD videos so brilliant and clear they're almost lifelike, a POV shooting style that adds plenty of believability to the scenes, and women so eager to please they drop to their knees at a moments notice just to drain 'your' balls, wrangling your hose beautifully and directing your deposit to shoot across their faces, lips, and tongues. If that's what most scenes are like here, I can't imagine any fellatio or facial fan passing by time and time again. At least, not until they've dug deep and discovered the same things as I have. What things might they be? Tag along, face-paster, and let's take a closer look at 1000 Facials.
Mike John might not be the most well-known pornographer currently churning out double-penetration, blowbang, and extremely wild gangbang scenes, but he certainly is one of the best. John's official website, Mike John VIP is loaded with more than 500 examples of what makes him one of the more powerful and influential directors in porn. You'll see such women as Cody Lane, Lela Starr, and Rayveness indulging their wild sides in scene so raucous and energetic you'll break a sweat just from watching them, helping to prove once and for all that Mike John is a forced to be reckoned with.
Jonni Darkko might've started out in the glamorous world of fashion photography, but talent such as his is only wasted on clothed women, and Darkko flew the coop to sunny Los Angeles to try his hand at shooting hardcore porn. Signed by John Stagliano to his Evil Angel roster, Darkko soon made a name for himself as the master of POV-style cocksucking movies. Here on his official Jonni Darkko XXX website, though, there's a lot more than just the best blowjobs in porn, with stellar, sexy performers lining up to be captured in HD by Darkko's lens. Won't you take a peek?

SMITHFIELD, R.I. - The Providence College men's lacrosse team topped Bryant, 10-9, on Tuesday, March 26 in Smithfield, R.I. The win over the Bulldogs snaped the Friars' three game losing streak. Providence improves to 6-3 (0-2 BIG EAST) while Bryant falls to 1-8 (0-0 NEC). Junior attack Sean Wright (Silver Spring, Md.) notched his seventh hat-trick of the season to propel the Friars to victory.
Shane Morrell tallied the first goal of the game at the 14:53 mark of the first quarter to give the Bulldogs a 1-0 advantage. Wright answered at 11:26 when he buried a feed from freshman Kevin Blair(Hingham, Mass.) Wright's goal marked his 25th of the season and Blair's 10th assist. Bryant closed the quarter with a goal from Peter McMahon, and the Bulldogs carried a 2-1 lead into the second quarter.
Bryant out-scored the Friars 3-1 in the second quarter. The Bulldogs tallied three consecutive goals coming at 8:33, 8:26 and 6:53 to increase their lead to 5-1. Junior Robby Stack (Medfield, Mass.) ended Bryant's run when his shot found the back of the cage with 3:56 left to play in the second quarter (5-2). The Bulldogs held a 5-2 advantage at the half.
Providence won the third quarter after out-scoring Bryant, 4-3. Bryant opened the half with back-to-back goals to give the Bulldogs a 7-2 lead. Freshman Brendon McGuire (Wycoff, N.J.) began a 4-1 run at the 10:07 mark to pull the Friars within four of Bryant, 7-3. Senior Daniel Textor (Rockville Centre, N.Y.) notched a goal at the 7:55 mark (7-4), followed by junior Andrew Barton (Timonium, Md.) at 6:29 (8-5). Wright closed the quarter with his second goal of the game with 2:24 left to play, to bring the Friars within two, 8-6.
The Friars edged the Bulldogs 4-1 in the final 15 minutes of play. Wright completed his seventh hat-trick of the season to open the fourth quarter (14:09). Senior JT Weber (West Hartford, Conn.), sophomore Greg FitzMaurice (Huntington, N.Y.) and Textor added goals to give the Friars a 10-9 win over the Bulldogs.
Junior Ryan Shaw (East Hampton, N.Y.) continued his success at the face-off "X," winning 10-of-23 attempts.
Freshman goalie Jack Connelly (Kenilworth, Ill.) earned his sixth win in goal for the Friars. Connelly recorded seven saves and collected three ground balls in the victory.
Providence returns to action on Saturday, March 30 when the Friars travel to Piscataway, N.J. to face conference foe, Rutgers. The game is schedueled to begin at 7:00 p.m.
Providence College Head Coach - Chris Gabrielli
"It was nice to get a win tonight after a three game skid. This week we broke down the progress that the team has made this year. We play a tough schedule and it is important for us to point out the positives more than the negatives that we face. We push the fact that this is a process. Our guys are doing great things and are learning to play in the new style."
"Daniel Textor is playing like a senior right now. He has more shots and goals in the nine games that we have played this season than he recorded in all of last year."
"Our success on the offensive end comes from a combination of the way that we teach offense and the ability of our players to buy into our new style. We stress to make the extra pass and not to settle for shots. Our offense is comprised of older players which has also helped in its success."
"We have been successful at clearing the ball. Tonight we faced an aggressive Bryant team who pressed a full field ride. We were able to make crisp passes and generate a goal in transition which shifted momentum into our favor. We hope to continue our success in this department."
"Tonight the defense really played as a tough unit. We have a young, inexperienced defense and a freshman goalie who are starting to understand the process. Freshmen Jake Newman, Griffin Goudreau and Jack Connelly had their best games of the season tonight."
"Jack Connelly witnessed tremendous success to start the season. Like most freshman, he had a little dip, but as you could see in our last game against Siena, he is starting to look relaxed. Things are slowing down and he has been excellent at seeing the ball. Transitioning from a goalie in the mid-west to starting for Providence in the BIG EAST is a huge jump. Tonight Jack made some big saves that were crucial to our success."

AFP, July 14, 2011 China's state-controlled Catholic Church ordained another bishop on Thursday, despite lacking Vatican approval. The move will likely worsen already sour relations with the Vatican, which has declared such appointments illegitimate and has urged all bishops to resist pressure from communist parties. China has ignored such statements, announcing its plans to ordain 40 bishops as soon as possible. Furthermore, three of China's bishops loyal to the Vatican have gone missing recently. – Tatumn Walter

More reviews by makeuploveandsoul
Love THIS! dosent break me out looks sooo natural and flawless. I use it on my cheekbones and buf it in with my NARS #19 bronzer brush! beautiful every guy/girl needs to own it at least once!
i love it! i dont really used it around my face bc i cant really see it on my skin and it rubs off my concealer when im putting it on, so maybe when my skin is clearer and i dont need concealer it will be be better. but i love this as a contour for my nose! since its kind of creamish at first it makes contouring my big ole nose look more natural! the color of it is perfect! i love this =) itll last me 1000 years bc i only use it once a day on such a small part of my face
The color of this bronzer is what makes it so great. Some bronzers look like you have mud on your face when you apply them all over, but this one looks like a glowing natural tan. This is the perfect product for me because I do tan my body but not my face; so this is great to even myself out.
At first you may wonder how to even use this because it is the consistancy of a soft soap. I found that the best way to use it is with a fluffy blush brush. I take my blush brush and swirl in the container and lightly buff this product on my cheeks, forehead, and under my neck.
I know this product is a little pricey but a little bit goes along way so this container should last you for a long time!
Best bronzer i've ever used! You can put as little or as much on as you like, because it's not a powder (more like a moose that turns into a powder when applied) it looks really natural, so easy to apply. Looks amazing in the winter to build colour over foundation, or in the summer to give a gorgeous boost to an existing tan. I love Chanel packaging, it lasts a long time as well, I've had mine for almost a year and i would say i have just under half left, and i use it every day!
Although, because of the nature of the bronzer (its not a powder, sort of a moose) you probably wont be able to use a bronzer brush you already have. It has to be a large firm brush that allows you to sort of blot or jab the bronzer instead of sweeping the brush over it - its impossible to use fingers as well, because as i said before it's not exactly a moose its like a cross between a moose and a powder, very hard to describe! The best to use is the Chanel brush that's especially for bronze universel, just ask at the counter - this brush can be used for powder bronzers/blushers as well!

I cant live without this bronzer! I use self tan religiously every week on my body but havent been able to find a tanner for my face that wont break me out, so i needed to find a bronzer that i could use to match my ghostly white face to my brown body! I used to use pressed powder bronzers, but i needed more all-over coverage which i couldnt have with a powder because it would become more and more cakey/muddy looking on my face. Then i found this bronzer by Chanel, which is meant to be an illuminating make up base but i use this ontop of my foundation and its amazing! It comes in a big circular tub which lasts for ages and is a creamy-gel like consistency. It gives the most glowy, sunkissed look which u can build to very tanned, i found the best way to do this is with the Chanel Le Petit Pinceau which i use to buff it in all over. Sometimes if im just popping to the shops ill put it on bare skin and it still gives a flawless, radiant finish.
The only downside is that some days, it can become a bit blotchy a few hours in but thats more of an issue with my skin than the product and it can easily be controlled with loose powder or blotting sheets.

I can't say anything bad about this product. It's the perfect bronzing and contouring color for my skin tone, doesn't turn orange on me at all. It gives quite a natural bronze look, a more brown color than a golden color although there is, I think, a slight golden tinge to it. A beautiful color, really. I believe it's designed to suit both cool and warm skin tones. It is buildable. I use this sometimes just as a contour color, MAC 109 or 138 are excellent brushes to use for that, although I personally prefer the 138. If I want to apply it all over as a base I use a medium kabuki brush and just buff it in. Guerlain's terracotta bronzer 02 looks stunning on top of this just over the cheek bones, along the sides of the forehead, and under the jaw bone. Gives a more dramatic golden bronzed look, perfect for summer or those times when I'm fed up with my light skin during the winter. But it's great to use year round on it's own and I go for a more natural look on an everyday basis anyway. So it gets a lot of use. Definately worth the money, will purchase agan.

I love Chanel..I love this product it will last forever.. This bronzer is kinda like the Nars multiple but much better because its Chanel...
I haven't written a review on this in the year I've had it because I never could figure out the proper way to use it. The consistency is like a mousse, but its not fluffy like Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse, nor is it like a cream blush. It's like a moist compacted powder. Thats the best way I can describe it. It has a delightful fragrance that reminds me of a really good smelling shampoo or hair product. The color is a beautiful golden brown. If you swirl your brush in the pot, it doesn't pick up a lot of product. Which is good because it will give you the most natural appearance. I've tried several different ways of applying this. For a while, I was using a regular blush brush and applying it the same way I would apply my blush and it wasn't doing much. The I used the MAC 187 and swiping it along my cheekbones.. and again, didn't do much. Then I watched some youtube vids and saw that a lot of people were BUFFING it into their face. SO, I again took the 187 and instead, buffed it into my face after I let my foundation dry. And bam! Thats how you get the true color of this stuff. The more buffing you do, the deeper the bronze will be. My favorite way of applying this is with a large kabuki brush and swirling it in the pot, and in circular buffing motions, I will apply it to my cheeks, and forehead and run it lightly across my nose. It gives me the prettiest flush of color and glow. It looks more natural than any other bronzer I've used. You can also go for a 2nd swirl and deepen the color on your face if you'd like. I also like to swirl a little on my neck as well. It works wonderfully when my neck is a little on the lighter side. Love this stuff! Even though its pricey, it will last you forever! The pot is huge and you use such a tiny bit with each use. I definately recommend this.. just play with it for a little bit and see what works the best for you! :)

So I bought this product because I heard alot of good reviews on it. I love the packaging, it looks so elegant and the smell is amazing (smells kinda like peaches). this product is pricy almost 50$. The texture is like a creamy mousse, which I thought was interesting. It gives my skin a perfect glow and dosen't look orange or too dark.The great thing about it, is it's buildable to the desired shade.Sometimes I use it alone and at other times I apply my nars laguna bronzer lightly on top of it to intenseify the color. My only problem is, it tends to look alittle boltchy on one side of my cheek, which I think is kinda strange. I've tired applying it with different brushes, thinking it might be the brush causing it to do that. I used my Mac 181 se small kabuki brush to buff it in, which helped a little bit. I've only had this product for about a week, so I havn't really mastered the technique yet. but overall I love this bronzer and would definitly repurchase!
My first impression, "WHOA!" Not directly at the product, but the price tag it came with. I was a little hesitant about buying this product due to the price, but I heard about this product from a YouTuber, Lisasz09 who highly raved about this bronzing make-up base. This product used to be called Bronze Universel, but has now been revamped to Soleil Tan De Chanel. Besides the product name, the only difference between the is the color of the Chanel logo on the top of the cover. Bronze Universel is white, while Soleil Tan De Chanel is gold.
This product is labeled as a bronzing make-up base. From my understanding, aside from a bronzer, this product can be utilized as a make-up base (which I am assuming for individuals whose skine tone is close if not, the same as the product). Its consistency is comparable to NARS' Multiples. It is a cream bronzer, but once applied to the skin, turns into a dry finish. It has a slight fragrance to it, but nothing unbearable. In the container, there is a slight gold-like sheen, but nothing noticeable on the skin. The color pay off is not orange or muddy brown on my skin. It simply provides me personally a nice color - just like a natural tan.
Below are the pro's and con's I have regarding this product:
- Color (like already mentioned, provides a color of a tan)
- Blends effortlessly (I apply mine with a 187 MAC brush, stippled and blended using short circular motions and it is not streaky)
- Price (retails for $48, while the product is nice, the price is a little too steep for me)
Besides the price, I find this product as one of my favorites bronzers. It provides the color I want from a bronzer and it does not streak. I'm sold!

- Being Schooled: Inside a Conference That Works
- Setting the Ground Rules
- What Goes Around…
- Setting the Agenda
- Seeking Solutions
- Parting Thoughts
You may have heard Adrian Segar present on the power of peer-created conferences. But it's something else to see one in action. I had the opportunity to attend a portion of the 2014 edACCESS conference, the one that started Segar on his path to developing a peer-driven meeting format that engages attendees, encourages interaction and relationship-building, and is, as many repeat participants said, the most effective conference they've ever attended. All photos are courtesy of Brent Seabrook Photography.
As I wheeled my Mini Cooper into the parking area across the street from the Taft School, a boarding school in Watertown, Conn., the beautiful century-old building stood in stark relief to the glitz and glamour of the Venetian in Las Vegas where I had attended the Cvent Association and Corporate Meetings Summits just days before. Instead of a brightly draped, very official-looking registration desk, I entered the building to find friendly volunteers and a desk heaped with conference-related materials. A volunteer checked my name off a list, handed me a name badge and a t-shirt, and personally escorted me to the hallway leading to the dorm room that would be my home for the next 24 hours. Already, edACCESS 2014 was about as different from the type of meeting I'm used to as they come. And it hadn't even started yet.
Setting the Stage When There Is No Stage
The conference, a three-and-a-half-day event held in early June, gathered about 50 information technology staffers who work at secondary schools and small colleges. They were getting together because they wanted to dig into their biggest IT-related challenges with others who know their pain.
The conference began in 1991, when computing directors at two small colleges in Vermont got together to figure out how they could get the administrative computing solutions that their small schools needed, but their even smaller budgets couldn't afford. As Adrian Segar, who was one of the three founders, said during an introductory session for newbies, "We wanted to hold a conference, but when we looked around for experts to invite, there wasn't anyone dealing with our specific issues. We were the experts!"
Related: Participant-Led Meetings: A Case Study
Segar decided to see what resources were available for designing a conference that would take advantage of the collective wisdom of meeting participants and enable them to exchange ideas and network in an environment that would encourage free-flowing exchanges and build relationships. Since it didn't appear to exist, he then developed—and later went on to write a book about—a conference format he calls Conferences That Work. (Segar also has a new book coming out this fall.)
Having long been champing at the bit to experience this peer-driven meeting format, which Segar also regularly discusses on his blog, I eagerly entered a large, wood-paneled room for the newbie session. The chairs were set in a circle, and the light filtering down from the ceiling-high windows set an almost reverential tone. Which was shattered almost immediately as other participants drifted in, gave a slight start at the room setup, and shuffled around trying to figure out where to sit as they munched on cookies from a food station in the hallway. Does the part of the circle farthest from Segar, the guy with the microphone, count as the back row? Or is it more like the front row because it's the part that most directly faces the speaker?

I am no pony-car guy, but I did enjoy driving this car. The extremely precise gear shifter was a revelation; it's ten times better than the stock Mustang shifter and the best part of this overpriced options package. Naturally, there's lots of tractable power from the supercharged V-8, and the car handles pretty well, but it's not difficult to upset the live rear axle. I exited I-94 at Oakwood Boulevard on my way to an event in the heart of the Ford Motor Company campus in Dearborn, Michigan, and as I tore away from the stoplight at the end of the exit ramp, the car hit some rough pavement and the rear axle was scrambling for traction and bouncing the car up and down. But that's part and parcel of the Mustang experience.
