New International Reader's Version (NIRV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God. | 1 From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God. |
2 He said, "When I was in trouble, I called out to you. And you answered me. When I had almost drowned, I called out for help. And you listened to my cry. | 2 He said: "In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. From the depths of the grave I called for help, and you listened to my cry. |
3 You threw me into the Mediterranean Sea. I was in the middle of its waters. They were all around me. All of your rolling waves were sweeping over me. | 3 You hurled me into the deep, into the very heart of the seas, and the currents swirled about me; all your waves and breakers swept over me. |
4 I said, 'I have been driven away from you. But I will look again toward your holy temple in Jerusalem.' | 4 I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.' |
5 I had almost drowned in the waves. The deep waters were all around me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head. | 5 The engulfing waters threatened me, the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head. |
6 I sank down to the bottom of the mountains. I thought I had died and gone down into the grave forever. But you brought my life up from the very edge of the pit. You are the LORD my God. | 6 To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you brought my life up from the pit, O LORD my God. |
7 "When my life was nearly over, I remembered you, Lord. My prayer rose up to you. It reached you in your holy temple in heaven. | 7 "When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, LORD, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple. |
8 "Some people worship the worthless statues of their gods. They turn away from the grace you want to give them. | 8 "Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs. |
9 But I will sacrifice a thank offering to you. And I will sing a song of thanks. I will do what I have promised. Lord, you are the one who saves." | 9 But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. Salvation comes from the LORD." |
10 The LORD gave the fish a command. And it spit Jonah up onto dry land. | 10 And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. |

Antonio Ledezma | |
3rd Metropolitan Mayor of Caracas | |

Assumed office 1 December 2008 |

3rd Mayor of Libertador Municipality | |
In office 1995–2000 |

Residence | Caracas |
Alma mater | Universidad Santa María |
Antonio José Ledezma Díaz (born 1 May 1955, San Juan de los Morros, Guárico[1]) is a Venezuelan lawyer and politician. After involvement in politics in his home state of Guárico in the 1970s for Democratic Action, he served two terms in the Venezuelan Chamber of Deputies (from 1984),[1] and was elected to the Venezuelan Senate in 1994.[1] He then served as mayor of the Libertador Municipality (1996–2000) of the Venezuelan Capital District, having been appointed governor of the now-defunct Federal District (1992–1993) by Carlos Andrés Pérez.[1] After unsuccessfully challenging for the leadership of Democratic Action in 1999, he founded a new party, the Fearless People's Alliance.[1]
In 2008, he challenged pro-Chavez PSUV/Fatherland for All candidate Aristobulo Isturiz in the 2008 Caracas mayoral election and won. Subsequent to his election, the Venezuelan National Assembly passed a Capital District Law on April 30, 2009 that transferred most functions, funding, and personnel of the Metropolitan Mayor of Caracas to a new Venezuelan Capital District (headed by Jacqueline Faría, an official directly appointed by Hugo Chavez) covering in particular the political centre of Caracas and the municipality of Libertador. A legal challenge was filed and a request was filed with the National Electoral Council to hold a referendum, but these did not stop the transfer. Opponents of Chavez described the move as a deliberate negation of the popular vote, while supporters described the political and budgetary reorganization as an "act of justice" for Libertador, the largest and poorest of the five municipalities making up Caracas.[2]
Ledezma was a finalist for the 2010 World Mayor prize.[3]

The Green Man Coming
I went out one bleak December morning,the air was chill and the trees hung bare.The small birds hushed their pretty voicesand the fields lay cold no comfort there.
Far away came sweet caroling,soft and gentle, a sad refrain.It spoke of kings both dead and dying,with the growing sun, would rise again.
Their song was older, older than the wisest mages.Older than the times of men.It echoed down the long dark agesand spoke of life that comes again.
Fear not, fear not the winter's long night.Fear not the blizzard storming white.There comes a king who yet lies sleeping,to return when the green man brings the spring.
I turned my face to that winter morning. Saw the sunrise in the sky.It seemed to me the earth was singing,of the Green man coming by and by.
Winter's storms may rage most wildly.The earth may rock and roil in pain.The hand of man may move unkindly,but the Green Man will return again.
Give thanks, give thanks for the growing day light. Give thanks for the sun, shining bright.The king of Summer is homeward treading,bearing gifts for the sacred wedding.
I walked out that short day dawning.My step was light, I was full of cheer,and all the while my heart was singing,for the Green Man and the coming year.

i think i might wait for the next iteration since HTC seems to crank these out pretty quickly, also the Xperia X3 with snapdragon processor will probably be badass if it truly is an android OS, but god only knows when that's coming out...

Searching for the Vanish bug {WoW}
Feb 5th 2009 7:58PM I know how the vanish bug started... Quakeworld, the first game to introduce the concept of client prediction.
Basically what you see happening on your screen/client isn't what's happening on the server... sure this is a fraction of a second, but that's the area where all "WHAT THE FU**" moments are born from in gaming.
You think you hit that shot in Counter-Strike or got the AWP shot off first... You think you got to the health pack before your opponent.... You think you hit vanish before that swing that killed you / added the bleed effect / etc got applied.
I think there's also probably a concept of a "simultaneously occurring action" happening where you apply vanish the exact same time (or very small timeframe) that someone does something to you.
They will never be able to do a 100% failsafe check that vanish was applied before and cancel out the opposing vanish-breaking/canceling action.
The reason why client prediction / push-latency got added to games 10 years ago was because only a few people had good internet connections and the gameplay experience was only good for them. Modemers whined that they should have the same online gaming experience as people on T1s/DS3s/CableModems/ISDNs and game companies listened... they decided to dumb down the actual gameplay with prediction so the masses would have a better overall gameplay experience.
So there you go... an old school gamer finally reveals the hidden secret behind the vanish bug.
Forward it to Blizzard, print it out and put it on your wall, or whatever... the days of pure what-you-see-is-what's-actually-happening gaming died with Quakeworld.
Send a flame email to IDSoftware for taking a concept developed by a terribad Quake developer named Zoid and incorporating it into multiplayer engines that would end up being the foundation for all multiplayer gaming engines in the future.

Jan 24th 2008 10:09PM The funny thing is... once these hit the Apple stores I bet people are going to flip out at how thin/solid they are and they will probably sell like crazy.
The iPod has proven that it's not JUST about raw numbers and performance... the iPod still doesn't have an FM tuner in it but that didn't stop it from achieving the top brand status among all MP3 players and command over 60% global MP3 marketshare.

Apple gives free iPods to kids affected by California wildfires {Engadget}

It's very concerning that like 4 of you people all had the same asinine reaction to a solid act of humanity.
If DirecTV gave them free service for a year would it be an insincere or meaningless gesture? Would it be 1) helpful and 2) encouraging to, eventually, focus again on rebuilding a normal life?

iPhone review {Engadget}
Jul 3rd 2007 4:43AM Meh,
You guys are a tad too surgical when talking about the features and good points and bad points.
The combined experience of using the iPhone is very musical/artistic/pleasant.
Sure there are shortcomings but nothing compared to other convergence devices I've experimented with in the past.
I tirelessly tried adapting to the Treo 650, P800/P910, $1,000 imported Nokia handsets, and Windows Mobile PDAs... I also spent $100s of dollars trying to add-on programs that made incredibly minute feature enhancements which did little to improve the overall phone experience.
One thing that isn't done justice in this review is comment on the brute force and speed of the iPhone... it multitasks like a garbage truck with flame-throwers...popping effortlessly from amazingly high resolution video to an endless sea of photos or an email inbox with hundreds of messages.
And comparing the stability to other smartphones isn't even worthwhile - the iPhone is bar none the most stable and dependable smartphone to date (go crap in your hat if you don't agree because you're delusional). I couldn't get the P910, Treo 650, Samsung Blackjack to execute far simpler commands without the danger of a 10+ second lockup or slow motion experience.
The ONLY and I mean ONLY mobile platform that even comes close in dependability and utility is the recent Blackberry platform found in the pearl and I would assume the 8800 and Curve.
I was really really tempted to get a Curve over an iPhone because I was so very much overjoyed by the utility of the Blackberry Pearl. However, the iPhone is an absolute breakthrough that INSPIRES the use of media (pictures, video, music) never before realized by any other mobile platform or device.
As far as email woes, I think you are sensationalizing the negative experience... I receive on average 100-200 emails per day, sometimes arriving in clusters of 20 within minutes. Sure there could be some nifty toggle to select all or mark unread or click+drag to select multiple, but the act of swiping and deleting is pretty effortless. I remember back to the days of clicking a disturbingly small box with a stylus point to select multiple emails in past interfaces and I am happy with the new iPhone way.
Furthermore, no internet browser on a mobile is going to be 100%... if not being able to go to a flash site is a deal breaker for getting the iPhone then you should be beaten hard and repeatedly with a blunt object or frozen jumbo hotdog. Stop whining and go buy a fricken laptop if you're such a road warrior (browsing myspace and flash sites LOL someone give me a barf bag)...
I was away from the office today for 2 hours and I've never been able to even come close to accomplishing the amount of tasks that I did on my iPhone, let alone accomplishing them with such grace, pleasure, ease, and quickness.
To analyze the phone in manner some of you are is equivalent to standing in front of Michaelangelo's Pieta and saying "WOW her head is so disproportionately big compared to the rest of the scultpute"... SMACK YOU I SHALL!
Appreciate the iPhone 'experience' and thank god (repeatedly) that a company like Apple decided to whisk into an industry suffering from lack of innovation and introduce a new paradigm for usability.
Also, give Apple a friggen month or two before jumping to silly conclusions... the Palm and Window Mobile platforms have been out for years and the evolution of their platforms is laughable at best. If you don't think Apple will make UI improvements or support external apps and programs then you're in for an eye-opening remainder of the year.
Lastly, I agree the lack of duplex calling/browsing is disappointing... but the whole 3G is my personal Jesus sentiment is unfounded. I tried a Samsung blackjack for 3 weeks on 3G and was totally unimpressed by the latency, particularly when trying to browse the web where the phone was requesting tons of files. Sure if you pull up a large file in an email or whatever it was 50% faster but I found the overall "upgraded experience" of 3G to be pretty yawn-able.
I'll take Edge/WIFI and 6-25 hours of multimedia battery life any day of the week... since when did that not become a supremely worthy quality on its own???

Reviewed By Frances, 09 Jul 2013 | |
Bought this from a high street branch of your chain, knife seems great. I thought it would be good to carry when hiking etc for emergencies - then discovered from a colleague that owing to the locking collar it is essentially illegal to carry in public. That - and the fact that the blade is 3.3 inches long rather than 3 inches long. |

Coaching Changes
As usual, there was a plethora of changes on the college basketball coaching landscape. The reasons for changes are plenty, from up & coming coaches moving upward, to elder statesmen retiring, to simply poor performers being replaced. On every program that makes a change, there will be some impact felt. Most schools hope that the impact is positive, but as we know, that is not always the case. Let's take a look at this year's changes and analyze what impact it might have on our wagering this winter.
Former Coach: Mark Macon (3 seasons)
New Coach: Tommy Dempsey (Rider Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 1
Analysis: Rider has played a faster pace than Binghamton recently. Complete rebuilding job after finishing with two wins and lowest RPI in the country last season.
Former Coach: Jesse Agel (4 seasons)
New Coach: Mike Martin (Pennsylvania Assistant)
Returning Starters: 3
Analysis: Mike Martin is just 29 years old and a former player on very successful Brown teams. He was most recently at Penn last year as assistant so well familiar with Ivy League play.
Former Coach: Tom Parrotta (6 seasons)
New Coach: Jim Baron (Rhode Island Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 4
Analysis: Jim Baron had a great run at Rhode Island before the wheels fell off last year. His teams were up-tempo. After just five wins last season, four starters return in what should be a much more competitive team under Baron.
Former Coach: Ernie Zeigler (6 seasons)
New Coach: Keno Davis (Former Drake and Providence Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 1
Analysis: Keno Davis had good runs at Drake and Providence then spent last season as an analyst on Big Ten Network. Offense should be faster paced than recent CMU teams but this is a big rebuilding job with just one starter back.
Former Coach: Bobby Cremins (6 seasons)
New Coach: Doug Wojcik (Tulsa Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 4
Analysis: Tulsa's loss could be College of Charleston's gain after Wojcik was let go due to falling attendance. Wojcik is a disciple of Tom Izzo and thus his teams are offensively efficient while focusing on defense and rebounding. Expect a bit slower pace in Charleston.
Former Coach: Tim Miles (5 seasons)
New Coach: Larry Eustachy (Southern Miss Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 3
Analysis: Larry Eustachy is well known for resurrecting crumbling programs. That won't be needed at Colorado State, as this team has three starters back from the 2012 group that reached the NCAA tourney for first time in nine years. Don't expect much change for pace or quality.
Former Coach: Ron Everhart (6 seasons)
New Coach: Jim Ferry (Long Island Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 2
Analysis: Jim Ferry's teams at Long Island got up and down the court like few others so expect a up-tempo, aggressive offensive team this season at Duquesne.
Former Coach: Mike Miller (7 seasons)
New Coach: Jay Spoonhour (Former UNLV Assistant)
Returning Starters: 0
Analysis: Jay Spoonhour has served as a Head Coach in the D-II ranks as well as an assistant at UNLV. This is his first D-I head coaching gig and will be a fresh start for a team replacing all of its starters from a 12-17 season of a year ago.
Former Coach: Isiah Thomas (3 seasons)
New Coach: Richard Pitino (Louisville Assitant)
Returning Starters: 0
Analysis: Son of Rick Pitino gets his first head coaching gig, replacing the embattled Isiah Thomas. Pitino should recruit well and his teams will play fast, but don't expect a whole lot from this group this season.
Former Coach: Bobby Washington (3 seasons)
New Coach: Joseph Price (Lamar Assistant)
Returning Starters: 1
Analysis: Grambling is on NCAA probabtion, making the need for a first year Head Coach necessary. Price won't figure to change a whole lot pace-wise for this team, but it won't take much to improve on last year's 4-24 record.
Former Coach: Deane Martin (1 season)
New Coach: Bill Evans (Montana Assistant)
Returning Starters: 2
Analysis: A tumultuous 12-month period at Idaho State finds Evans as the third Head Coach during that span. The school has had nine straight losing seasons. Having come from Montana, Evans is familiar with the Big Sky Conference.
Former Coach: Bruce Weber (9 seasons)
New Coach: John Groce (Ohio U Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 4
Analysis: The Bruce Weber era at Illinois ran its course but not after some very fine moments. A high profile job like Illinois figured to attract a well-known commodity or a rising star. They got the latter, as Groce was climbing the ranks with what he built at Ohio. He was also at Ohio State prior to that as an assistant to Thad Matta so expect this to be a stable situation.
Former Coach: Tim Jankovich (5 seasons)
New Coach: Dan Muller (Vanderbilt Assistant)
Returning Starters: 4
Analysis: Muller is a ISU alumn, having played there the last timethe team made the NCAA's in '88. His team has four starters back and shouldn't miss a beat after going 21-14 last season.
Former Coach: Frank Martin (5 seasons)
New Coach: Bruce Weber (Illinois Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 4
Analysis: When blessed with talent, Bruce Weber's Illinois teams resembled the Kansas State teams of Frank Martin. Unfortunately that was years ago. This team will probably drop off a bit as it will be hard to match the intensity Martin instilled in recent K-State teams. Don't expect them to play as fast either.
Former Coach: Jim Ferry (10 seasons)
New Coach: Jack Perri (Long Island Assistant)
Returning Starters: 4
Analysis: Four starters are back and the system will remain the same under former assistant Jack Perri. Don't expect much change or any drop off.
Former Coach: Trent Johnson (4 seasons)
New Coach: Johnny Jones (North Texas Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 3
Analysis: LSU put a "LSU man" back in charge after Trent Johnson in no fewer words told the school that it wasn't for him. Johnny Jones played at LSU and has many former alums in his corner, no less than Shaq himself. Jones resurrected North Texas' program and should bring an energy and up-tempo game that has been missing here lately.
Former Coach: Charlie Coles (16 seasons)
New Coach: John Cooper (Tennessee State Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 3
Analysis: This could be as big of a coaching change as any in college basketball. Miami Ohio was known for patient play under Coles. Cooper prefers a more up-tempo style. Tennessee State averaged some 6 possessions more per game than Miami Ohio last year.
Former Coach: Sean Woods (4 seasons)
New Coach: Chico Potts (Miss Valley State Assistant)
Returning Starters: 0
Analysis: Chico Potts gets the unenviable task of taking over a program that is on a one-year postseason ban and must replace 98.9% of its offensive production from last season. There's no way this team comes anywhere close to matching its 21-13 record.
Former Coach: Rick Stansbury (14 seasons)
New Coach: Rick Ray (Clemson Assistant)
Returning Starters: 0
Analysis: Rebuilding in a conference as tough as the SEC is one thing. Having to do it with as much roster changeover as Rick Ray does is a whole other. All five starters are gone from the 21-12 Bulldogs' team of last season. Ray, an assistant with Clemson last season, but really relies on the systems of Purdue, where he also once coached.
Former Coach: Donnie Tyndall (6 seasons)
New Coach: Sean Woods (Miss Valley State Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 2
Analysis: Sean Woods built Mississippi Valley State into a NCAA tournament team. He won't have to build as much at Morehead State, but he will transform the Eagles. Watch this team closely in the early going, as MVS averaged almost nine possessions more per game than Morehead State did last season.
Former Coach: Robert Burke (2 seasons)
New Coach: Jamion Christian (VA Commonwealth Assistant)
Returning Starters: 4
Analysis: Jamion Christian was a former 3-year captain at Mount St Mary's as a player. This is is first head coaching assignment after leaving VCU. The Rams played a higher tempo brand of basketball than the Mountaineers so don't be surprised to see a pick-up in pace.
Former Coach: Doc Sadler (6 seasons)
New Coach: Tim Miles (Colorado State Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 1
Analysis: Tim Miles took Colorado State to the NCAA tournament last year after a 9-year absence. Coaching in the Big Ten was too much to pass up though. Although the Rams weren't exactly playing at an up-tempo pace, don't expect Nebraska to be as painfully slow as they played under Doc Sadler.
Former Coach: Johnny Jones (11 seasons)
New Coach: Tony Benford (Marquette Assistant)
Returning Starters: 5
Analysis: Tony Benford has spent 20 years as an assistant and is well known in the recruiting ranks. That impact will be felt down the road. For now, the Mean Green have all five starters back from an 18-win team, so don't expect too much to change in 2012-13. If anything, this team might play even faster.
Former Coach: Mike Adras (7 seasons)
New Coach: Jack Murphy (Memphis Assistant)
Returning Starters: 3
Analysis: Jack Murphy takes over a program that experienced its first real troubles over the course of the last 12 months. He is the third Head Coach in that span. Murphy will be looking for the Lumberjacks to pick up the pace and his recruiting prowess will certainly help NAU over the long haul.
Former Coach: John Groce (4 seasons)
New Coach: Jim Christian (TCU Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 5
Analysis: TCU averaged about 2.5 more possessions per game than Ohio did last season, but with five starters returning, don't expect anything more than a gradual change in style from this team. After all, who would tinker too much with a team that was 29-8 a year ago and has almost all of its production back.
Former Coach: Jim Baron (11 seasons)
New Coach: Dan Hurley (Wagner Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 2
Analysis: Dan Hurley did some very nice things at Wagner and hopes to do the same at Rhode Island, a school coming off a miserable 7-24 campaign. Hurley's first order of business was to introduce his aggressive, attacking style of play to a roster that sees just five total players back.
Former Coach: Tommy Dempsey (6 seasons)
New Coach: Kevin Baggett (Rider Assistant Coach)
Returning Starters: 2
Analysis: Baggett served as an assistant at Rider under Tommy Dempsey so there doesn't figure to be a whole lot of changes in store for the Broncos other than a little more stress on the defensive end of the court.
Former Coach: Matt Doherty (6 seasons)
New Coach: Larry Brown (Former coach at many stops)
Returning Starters: 3
Analysis: Only Larry Brown can explain why he made the choice to come back to a school with so little of a basketball pedigree as SMU. In any case, his team figures to be better than the 13-19 team of Matt Doherty, if for no other reasons than they will play faster and better defensively.
Former Coach: Darrin Horn (4 seasons)
New Coach: Frank Martin (Kansas State Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 2
Analysis: Martin's teams at Kansas State played with a fire and intenstiy rarely matched in college basketball. They also played a much faster pace than recent South Carolina teams. Expect those changes in South Carolina as Martin inherits a reasonably athletic SEC roster.
Former Coach: Chris Lowery (8 seasons)
New Coach: Barry Hinson (Kansas Assistant)
Returning Starters: 4
Analysis: Southern Illinois was just 8-23 last season. However, four starters return and the Salukis plucked a top assistant from one of the best programs in the country to try and right the ship.
Former Coach: Larry Eustachy (8 seasons)
New Coach: Donnie Tyndall (Morehead State Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 2
Analysis: Morehead State played 90% matchup zone defense and mixed in full court pressure. While those tendencies would suggest a higher pace, the truth is that the Eagles averaged just over 60 possessions per game, a VERY slow pace. Expect the same at Southern Miss in what he self-admittedly calls a rebuilding season.
Former Coach: Don Friday (4 seasons)
New Coach: Rob Krimmel (St Francis-PA Assistant)
Returning Starters: 4
Analysis: Rob Krimmel served as an assistant under Don Friday and figures to implement the same style of play. With four starters back, the Red Flash should improve on their 6-23 record.
Former Coach: Jim Christian (4 seasons)
New Coach: Trent Johnson (LSU Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 2
Analysis: Trent Johnson admits the fit wasn't right for him at LSU. He claims to have taken the TCU job because it was an opportunity to keep building to a program on the rise. Now in the Big 12, TCU is finally in "big time" basketball. His teams at LSU typically played about three possessions less per game than what TCU is used to.
Former Coach: John Cooper (3 seasons)
New Coach: Travis Williams (Tennessee State Assistant)
Returning Starters: 4
Analysis: Travis Williams watched John Cooper build Tennessee State into a 20-win team and doesn't figure to mess with the momentum being built when four starters are returning from an OVC championship contending team.
Former Coach: Tony Harvey (4 seasons)
New Coach: Mike Davis (UAB Head Coach)
Returning Starters: 2
Analysis: The word "deliberate" can be used to describe the pace of play that UAB employed under Mike Davis. Considering that Texas Southern averaged four more possessions per game last season than UAB, Davis' impact could be a shock to the system.
Former Coach: Billy Gillispie (1 season)
New Coach: Chris Walker (Texas Tech Assistant)
Returning Starters: 2
Analysis: Four head coaches have been at Texas Tech since 2008, and the best word to describe the program right now is "disarray". Gillispie's stay was volatile at best. With two carryover starters from last year's 8-23 team, expectations are much lower than they have been in Lubbock in a long time.
Former Coach: Doug Wojcik (7 seasons)
New Coach: Danny Manning (Kansas Assistant)
Returning Starters: 2
Analysis: Yes. That Danny Manning. The former Kansas star and assistant coach takes over a Tulsa team that has consistently been a 20-win club perennially. If he injects any of Kansas's systems or success into the program, the Golden Hurricane could be even better.
Former Coach: Mike Davis (6 seasons)
New Coach: Jerod Haase (North Carolina Assistant)
Returning Starters: 3
Analysis: Talk about a shock to a system. After an up & down run during Mike Davis' six years at UAB, the Blazers turn to a UNC assistant and Roy Williams disciple. It remains to be seen however, whether or not Haase implements the same systems that UNC employed, recognizing the difference in athletes.
Former Coach: Seth Greenberg (9 seasons)
New Coach: James Johnson (Clemson Assistant)
Returning Starters: 2
Analysis: James Johnson most recently served as an assistant at Clemson but prior to that he was right where he is now, in Blacksburg, helping Seth Greenberg put this football-heavy school on the basketball map. Don't expect a whole lot different in terms of schemes, but this team could be better with four starters back from its 16-17 team of 2011-12.
Former Coach: Dan Hurley (2 seasons)
New Coach: Bashir Mason (Wagner Assistant)
Returning Starters: 5
Analysis: Other than having just hired a coach that is a mere 28 years old in Bashir Mason, the typical Wagner fan shouldn't have a whole lot of worries on his or her mind. Five starters are back from a team that was 25-6 a year ago, and Mason served under Danny Hurley, who left in indelible mark on this program. Mason just hopes to keep the momentum going.
Former Coach: Randy Peele (5 seasons)
New Coach: Pat Kelsey (Former Wake Forest Assistant)
Returning Starters: 0
Analysis: Pat Kelsey learned coaching under his Mentor Skip Prosser, who loved a faster pace of play. Under Randy Peele, Winthrop stressed defense and patience. Suffice to say, a lot could be different in 2012-13 for the Eagles. If ever there was a time for a scheme change, this would be it, as Winthrop not only replaces its coach, but its entire starting five as well.

When I try to copy some desing in Design Navigator throigh the opton "Save copy as" everything is good. I have new desing with old name in case using <%%DisplayName ("name")> _. Hovewer, when I try to change this name, design name in Design Navigator still old.
Any ideas?
One more issue.
If I try to replace design through changing parent design name, the target design still stay on the old place.
Please try closing the solution in Visual Studio, and then opening it again.
I know about that. But it's not the solution of problem.
Not easy to see with our designs, would you mind providing your design files for us to replicate the issue?
It doesn't matter what files use. The problem is with VS. After renaming nothing changing with design names or them location. After reopening everything is OK.
I'm talking about display names, not file or design names.

More often than not, by far the hardest part of each golf experience was getting on the course. Doing so often required resourcefulness, luck and a willingness to take advantage of opportunities as they came up. "Most people in L.A., if they get invited to play in Santa Barbara, will come up with a hundred reasons to say no," Herson says while breakfasting at Riviera on his usual: oatmeal with honey, and hot chocolate. "But I have a 'no whining' rule. Get on with it. Be positive, commit to the experience, have fun."
Eighty percent of the courses on the list are private, which forced Herson to spend countless hours organizing his schedule and networking. Early on he determined that he would always use an intermediary, whether it was a member of the target course or a friend of a member. Herson worked hard at developing the relationships to make it happen. In a few cases he asked Riviera head pro Todd Yoshitake to make an introduction on his behalf. "You cannot do it by yourself," says Herson. "Some of the clubs just won't deal with you." For those that did, the fact that he himself belonged to a top-100 club probably didn't hurt.
Herson discovered that there are clubs and then there are golf's hallowed grounds, some of which were established in the nineteenth century, when the locker room may not have had running water. Consider the Chicago Golf Club (#31; Wheaton, Illinois), founded in 1895 and said to be the first eighteen-hole course in America. The active members (fewer than 150) at this links gem didn't particularly care about Herson's agenda. But Herson had done some business with one of them, Jerry Maatman, who finally agreed to take him out. He got on the two private Japanese courses after winning a whimsical bet (don't ask) with a South African CEO who had lots of business connections in Japan.
Herson found there was a certain amount of kismet that made things happen for him, but sometimes with unexpected consequences. While vacationing on the Hawaiian island of Lanai, Herson was in a Jacuzzi with some new golf buddies with whom he had hooked up for four days in a row. Upon hearing of his quest, one of the guys, a stockbroker, boasted that he could get him on Shadow Creek (#89; North Las Vegas, Nevada), which at the time was a tough track to crack since owner Steve Wynn allowed only a handful of foursomes a day. "When I meet the guy in Vegas, he has this enormous limousine waiting to take me to the Mirage, where he is gambling with more money than I have ever seen in one place before or since," Herson says. "He was playing with chips I didn't recognize." On the course the next day, the stockbroker heavily touted a high-flying stock. Herson made a small investment and unfortunately learned a valuable lesson when the stock went belly-up soon after. "I figure the round at Shadow Creek cost me significantly more than the greens fee."
As for the quest's personal cost, Herson claims to have had the unwavering backing of his wife, Orin. "I did this in partnership with my wife," he says. "I asked her, 'If I'm going to do this, will I have your support?'" Based on my own fourteen years of experience with marriage, I found that difficult to buy, so I interviewed Orin separately before dinner one night. Turns out she was indoctrinated into Selwyn's passion early on. "Before we were ever married, I was listening to the radio and I heard that he had won a national golf tournament in South Africa," she said. "At that point I knew golf was going to be a very big part of our lives." With a twinkle in her eye she added, "But Selwyn is very smart. He knew exactly how to play this. He always made me part of the planning." For example, when Herson wanted to play Sawgrass (#57; Ponte Vedra, Florida), he induced his wife to come along by arranging for them to spend the following night—Valentine's Day—in South Beach, and to fly from there to the Dominican Republic so that he could tackle Casa de Campo (#34; La Romana). While she often skipped destinations that did not interest her, when she did come along she sampled the best hotels and spas in the world. "I could participate without ever being jealous of the process," she said.
He also had the support of his son, Jonathan, now twenty-three, a recent graduate of the University of Colorado. Over the past eight years, Herson has included Jonathan on many of the golf trips he has taken, including that stormy round at Lahinch. "The wind was blowing 30 or 40 m.p.h. and it was freezing," recalls Herson, sounding very much the proud father. "My son loved it. He never would have played on in those conditions unless I had to. And to this day we still talk about it."
Herson had a number of golf-related epiphanies along the way. On his flight to play The Country Club (#33) in Brookline, Massachusetts, he prepared by reading his friend Mark Frost's fabulous tome on the 1913 U.S. Open, The Greatest Game Ever Played (now a movie). "When I got to the course, the member who invited me had brought along another member who was a historian," Her son remembers. "And this guy was showing me spots on the course and saying things like, 'This is where Harry Vardon took a divot.'" On one hole, the historian pointed out that Vardon had hit a driver followed by a three-wood. The same hole today can be reached with a driver and a wedge, Herson says. "One of the sad things for me was to see how technology is wreaking havoc on some of these historic gems," he says.
Then there were the interpersonal challenges. Herson played a number of courses where language was such a barrier that he could not converse with his playing partners. At El Saler (#93; Valencia, Spain), he played the front nine with a woman who did not utter a word of English. On the back nine it was no better, when they were joined by a non-English-speaking couple. For a gregarious type like Herson, this is tantamount to golf torture. He also figures he played about ten of the courses by himself when he could not round up a member or the local pro.
Some of the members Herson did play with had their noses in the air, although he eventually won most of them over. At the ultra-exclusive Southern Hills (#41; Tulsa, Oklahoma), Herson and his member host played the first five holes in near-complete silence. "On the sixth hole the guy makes the first hole in one of his life, and after the round he would not let me leave the course," Herson recalls. "Then we went to dinner and he would not let me leave the restaurant. We were out until 2 a.m., and he said it was one of the best days of his life."
When you sit down with Herson and he starts talking about the quest, you do become convinced that there was a certain magic attached. Acquaintances introduced him to acquaintances who seemed eager to get involved. If you can't do it yourself, why not help a fellow golfer who has the resources, the drive and the time to get it done?"I've become very good friends with lots of people all over the world, and that just might be the single best fringe benefit of the whole thing," he says.
Not everyone buys into the deal, however. I talked with a mix of different golfers and got a range of reactions to Herson's achievement. "I think I would rather play the top ten courses ten times each," scoffed John Carr, son of Joe Carr, Ireland's three-time amateur champion, and a member at two top-ten clubs.
When Golf updated its list of the world's top 100 last summer, Herson couldn't pass up the challenge to keep current. Of the eight new courses on the list, he had already played three. In early October he conquered two more (Hamilton Country Club, #84, Ancaster, Ontario; and Trump National, #87, Bedminster, New Jersey) and made a special trip to Asia later that month to play Tokyo Golf Club (#94) and Nine Bridges on Jeju Island, South Korea (#95). That left only Barnbougle in Bridport, Tasmania, Australia (#49), which he intended to visit before the year was out.
Once Herson plays Barnbougle, he will be in more or less the same place he was after holing that final putt at Kauri Cliffs: filled with mixed emotions and uncertain about what to take on next (at least until the 2007 list is released). "I think I may want to develop a golf course at some point," he says during our final conversation at Riviera. With his drive, this is not a remark to be taken lightly. "But I wouldn't develop one unless I thought it could make the top 100," he says, without a hint of irony. If he does build that course and it makes the list, the only downside for Herson will be that getting on will be no challenge at all.

The work of the order includes missions, both domestic and foreign, colleges for the education of youth, and seminaries for the training of clerics. In France the Marists developed rapidly, and outside of France the first field of labor offered them was the Vicariate Apostolic of Western Oceania. The immense area of the vicariate, together with the presence at its head of a secular bishop, soon necessitated the creation of smaller vicariates under Marist bishops. These missions have progressed steadily under the Marist fathers who, besides their religious work, have largely contributed to make known the languages, fauna and flora of the South Sea Islands, and helped in their colonization. In the British Isles the Marist foundations began in 1850 at the request of Cardinal Wiseman. The Society of Mary has taken a firm hold in the United States and even extended into Mexico.

Excellent Farm, Family & Food
By: April Thornton (Aug 17, 2012)
We have bought milk from a number of farms in 4 different states over the past few years, and Good Shepherd Family Farm is by far my favorite place to have brought my business to. The milk and eggs are of exceptional quality and the family truly desires to glorify the Lord in all they do.

Best Raw Milk Around
By: Cathy Hill (Jul 25, 2012)
I have been purchasing milk and other products from Kevin and his family for over two years. They consistently provide top quality products and their milk is second to none, keeping fresh in my fridge for three weeks (be sure to occasionally shake the cream up). Kevin is a hardworking man and his family exemplifies the characteristics that are so lacking in society today. I cannot recommend them enough. Their prices are fair and their products from milk to bread, to eggs, to pastured chicken are the highest quality possible.

Utterly Ideal...
By: AHSHAN CONTRACTOR (Jan 25, 2012)
I simply cannot bring to words the happiness I acquired from meeting Mr. Campbell and his family.
Our meeting was quite brief unfortunately, maybe lasting 2 minutes, because I was in a rush and Mr. Campbell was very busy (despite this, he still took the time to introduce me to the family/farm) However, I am thoroughly satisfied with his product, and am glad to have met his family even more so!
Candidly, What they stand for, their old world virtues, and the opportunity to meet "real-people" is priceless.
On a separate note, Mr. Campbell's family is very fair on their prices. I would be more than glad to pay more for his products should he ask. This is the extent of my confidence and recommendation.

I can't say enough about the quality of the food that Kevin and his family produce. Everything is incredibly fresh, nutritious, and fairly priced.
I make the hundred mile roundtrip from my home every two weeks just to get it. It is that great.
Keep up the great work!!

What A Great Place
By: James Bowie (May 10, 2011)
So today was the second time I have visited the Good Shepherd Family Farm and this time I brought my wife with me. This family is something special for sure. Very inviting and loving towards all. A friend of mine and I were able to help Kevin out with the chickens one afternoon and man was it a fun and knowledge filled experience. I can't see why anyone wouldn't want to be a part of this community Kevin and his family have created. Too much to say about this place for this type of forum.

By: Maru de Bernard (May 31, 2010)
We feel so lucky to have the Good Shepherd Family Farm near our house. The milk, eggs, honey, everything, and customer service are excellent! Every week we have fresh milk and eggs from this farm. The farm is a very peacefull place.

The long arduous production trail of World War Z is going to leave many viewers underwhelmed this opening weekend. Yet, to those who've followed its troubled history – from Brad Pitt acquiring Max Brook's unfilmable novel, through multiple screenwriters, re-shoots and production pitfall after pitfall – it's an impressive quilt work stitched together in an attempt to hide it's seams.
Watch World War Z Online
The production swallowed its helmer Marc Forster, who was Brad Pitt's directorial choice. Mistrusted by the studio on the action sequences, they surrounded Forster with second-unit crews who could handle the action sequences, while Forster focused on character and story. An understandable studio decision on a $125 million production, but Forster is a prolific director, who has traversed "Monster's Ball," "Stranger Than Fiction," "Quantum of Solace." Perhaps it was the failing of Forster's "Machine Gun Preacher" that had the studio worried.
Forster stuck it out to the end and still has his name to be blamed on the project. In the end, intimate scenes between characters playout effectively, but it largely feels like Forster survived the production, rather than lead with a singular vision. That singular vision was already diluted from multiple shift-changes from screenwriters. There was an original adaptation by J. Michael Straczynski, which was apparently amazing, but got a rewrite by Matthew Michael Carnahan. Production moved ahead in 2010/2011, but inflated into a $177 million movie and resulted in more script re-writes by Damon "Curse-you-for-'Prometheus" Lindelof.
The film had no third act essentially, at least not a useable one for filming and Lindelof couldn't fix it or finish it. Enter Drew Goddard for more rewrites, as the production continued to balloon towards $200 million. What we're left with is what many will consider a poorly constructed third act. Imagine the pressure on Goddard. He had to seal-the-deal on an over-inflated production, while still leaving it open as a gateway to a possible trilogy.
As screenwriters banged their heads against this zombie hoard, the production continued to dodge fatal bullets. One of note was the instance of being cited for gun trafficking by an Hungarian anti-terrorism squad, upon the delivery of props for filming in Budapest. ( news.com.au )
It also seems that the original Director of Photography, Robert Richardson, famous for collaborations with Scorsese, Tarantino, and Oliver Stone, was an escapee. He was replaced by Ben Seresin and albeit a skilled DP, the differences can be seen clearly in scenes. There are certain scenes in the film that just ring out in saturated brilliance and meaningful composition, and others just feel like skilled, big-budget safe-plays. We're talking 50 yard completions from a moody quarterback vs. 10 yard run-plays just to get through the game.
There is endless fascination with the turmoil World War Z experienced. Being briefed on this intel before jumping into it, for me, is the difference between having a parachute and an umbrella at 30,000 feet. Max Brooks' book is a brilliant piece of socio-political zombie madness, and the film adaptation has its moments of capturing that. Especially in the reminder that closing yourself in, whether as an individual or a nation, is never the safest option. With that lesson, approaching this film with narrow-minded expectations of what a Zombie-movie should be will certainly implode on you.
Watch World War Z full movie online, it was an attempt to use the Zombie-craze to say something about the apocalyptic haze much of the world is living in. Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way Productions went head-to-head with Brad Pitt's Plan B Productions over the rights to the book. The question is would Appian Way have survived this production? As what I largely admire about Brad Pitt is he survived this apocalyptic production, on and off screen.

My pool is finished and it is nearly perfect. But I have noticed that there are bubbles coming from the returns. Also, every morning that it starts it blows air from the lines for about 4 minutes causing a boiling effect due to the large volume of air in the system. My observation is this. It appears the bubbles are coming from the suction side line and not any seals or fittings on the pump. The return will shoot out bubbles off and on intermitantly as the pump runs. I am sure this is due to air building up in the filter and then being expelled. My pool builder is trying to convice me that there is no way that there is a suction side leak and that the bubbles are being caused by cavition. The suction side line is about 100 feet long. I have a 4x160 pump that runs at 1000rpm on the daily cycle speed. The plumber came over today and tried to talk me out of doing a suction side pressure test insisting that it was a waste of time. but I insisted. He will pressurize the suction side of the system on thurs. Am I being unreasable by insisting that there must be leak? Does anyones pool blast air out of the return after the system cycles on? Does anyone give any credibility to the cavitation idea? I would appreciate any guidance on this issue. |

I wouldn't say you have a leak. With a little investigation you'll probably find that it's water from the filter amd the pump seeking its level with the pool due to a bad seal somewhere. It could be one of the male adapters or one of the o-rings on the pump strainer lid, between the halves of the filter, under the pressure gauge, or even the Jandy valves. If you started up your daily cycle on a regular speed these bubbles would be gone very quickly after start-up because you'd achieve a quick prime. I'm not certain but I believe that the 4x160 starts up and runs on the designated RPM's. I've also seen where it was a stuck skimmer weir door that wouldn't come down all the way due to a little friction where it glides down the sides of the skimmer throat, once the pump pulled strong enough prime the door would stay down and not allow any more air to enter the system. If I was told about these symptoms I'd check these items before I broke out all my gear to perform a pressure test. I'm curious, when you say the suction side line is 100' long, do you mean that there's only one pipe servicing all the suction of the pool, if so what's the diameter of the pipe? See ya |
I believe (I am not home right now) that the suction line is 2 1/2 in to the pump. I have two skimmers and two bottom drains. Also I have had the seals checked and lubricated. The skimmers are not drawing any air and the door are free and moving. Thanks. |

Cavitation is not normal in most cases. It is a sign of undersized pipe and oversized pump. If you have what you say, it would not be cavitation. Check the installation. Do you have a length of pipe going into the pump at least 8"? If it 90's right into the pump or only has an inch or two, that water velocity is most likely introducing air into the pump due to poor hydraulics. Air purge on start-up is quite normal but should quit. On lower rpm's, it does take awhile. The only place air will be introduced into a pump is on the suction side. Crank that pump up to the highest set rpm and then turn it off while looking at the pipe going into the pump and the pump lid o-ring. Any ejection of water will indicate your source of air intake. If you see none, and you have a diverter valve in front of the pump it could be leaking in the stem or cap. If you have a motorized valve, you will need to remove the 4 screws on it, and then the motor to do this test. If not, pull the handle off the valve and repeat the pump going off test but this time, look at the valve for water ejection. If these all check out ok, assume the request for a leak test is valid if you purge all air from the filter and the returns continue to bubble. |
I correct myself. The Suction side has a 2" line, not 2 1/2 that services the entire suction side. The plumber pressurized the suction side yesterday and it appears there are no leaks. From your comments I suspect that the suction line is undersized for the length of run. |

Drewman take a water hose and with a low stream of water go over all your fittings in front of the pump and see if the air stops at any given fitting. |

The picture is not too clear but you seem to have a real funky connection between the two valves. What is it? Yes, the valves can be serviced and yes they do leak. At a couple of months, not really unless the pump ran dry. You can remove the motorized valve (4 screws)and then turn on the pump. Turn it off while watching the valve stem. If you see a small drip of water or hear air, you have a leak there. Do the same with the sweep valve. There are two o-rings on the valve diverter and one cap o-ring. If the cap o-ring fits loosely, the pump ran dry and the valve got hot and shrunk. This will cause the air leak. At that point you need a cap also. If the cap o-ring fits snug, you can try new stem o-rings. When you do the test by turning the pump off, also look for water squirting out of the fitting screwed into the pump. Is that a Tri-Star pump. It may be oversized as most of them are. That will cavitate the pump and produce air in the returns. |

between the two 3 ways? the cleaner and the spa valves? i think it's just a straight pipe, though again, i'm not sure why, but it's necked down there to 2". i still have to do the stop filter/squirting test. hopefully this weekend. i need to do a tiny bit of reprogramming ont he ps8 first though, right now the filter button will only let it go from high to low, not high to off... thanks for the help as always, you guys have gotten me out of alot of jams. |

any of the builders know if occasional 2" neckdowns or reducers are common/ok in 2.5" suction systems? |

any of the builders know if 2" reducers are common/acceptable in a system like this? |
- Posted by repair_guy (My Page) on Mon, Mar 24, 08 at 21:10
If it is indeed a 2" pipe in between that is common when the valves are that close. Sometimes unavoidable. Yours looks like a 2.5 coupler would have worked which would only slightly be better. |
"My pool builder is trying to convince me that there is no way that there is a suction side leak and that the bubbles are being caused by cavitation" That's quite interesting, in order to attempt to save himself on the leaks and air bubbles, and he is willing to hang himself by stating it is cavitation. Cavitation is (as said earlier) caused by undersized pipes, and intakes in combination with pump selection. So he is willing to admit he is destroying the pump and causing unnecessary energy consumption because of his design versus look for the leak???? |

Pakistan has responded in force, pouring almost a fourth of its armed forces into FATA and its environs, and sustaining more than 2,300 combat deaths. Gul highlights evidence of increasing coordination between Pakistani and US intelligence services—a high-profile example being the drone strike that killed Baitullah Mehsud in August 2009. He also suggests that Pakistan's military leader, General Ashfaq Kayani, has seen the error of supporting jihadist proxies to project Pakistani influence in the region, and no longer has the money for it in any case.
But it's hard to be sure. To support his speculation of Kayani-led "paradigm shift" in how Pakistan perceives its interests, Gul twice quotes a "quip" from the general, in which he brushed aside allegations of Pakistani involvement in the Mumbai attacks of November 2008: "We cannot outsource our national defense; that is a thing of the past." But pith is not evidence, however highly placed the source, nor is it completely reassuring given the history Gul himself describes. Further, repeated reference to the number of casualties Pakistan has sustained in pursuit of the TTP says nothing about how, or if, Pakistan intends to deal with the groups who focus their attacks on Americans and Afghan security forces.
Ultimately, argues Gul, Pakistan must "address issues such as good governance and the rule of law" and "integrate FATA properly into Pakistan." These solutions seem cursory, and even inconsistent, in light of the preceding 221 pages, many of which point to the historical impossibility of such integration and the fundamental incompatibility between centralized, Western-style "good governance" and the tribal structures that have ruled the area since well before the advent of Islam.
Still, The Most Dangerous Place makes it clear that ignoring the area, which has been called "the geographical crossroads for terrorism and weapons of mass destruction," is no longer an option. Obama's "Af-Pak" strategy is a belated acknowledgment that the US war in Afghanistan doesn't stop at the Durand Line. To paraphrase Trotsky: you may not be interested in FATA, but FATA is interested in you.

After going years and years without wearing much make up apart from concealer for the under-eye area or the occasional blemish, I needed something with decent coverage to give my skin a more even, polished look for work and going out. I was really reluctant to apply foundation to my skin 5 days a week and a BB cream promised to actually nourish & repair my skin as well as making it look pretty.
I started using this a few years ago and I can't really remember why I chose this brand of BB cream in particular.
- provides light coverage (good for those with pretty decent skin)
- applies smoothly
- no irritating fragrance
- good colour match for my pale skin
- lasts a surprisingly long time (ran out after daily application to whole face for about 4 months) for such a small tube.
- photographs well
- does not look cakey and does not oxidise
- does not cause breakouts
- relatively expensive compared to other BB creams
- light coverage means concealer is a must if you have any spots
Have repurchased several times over the years but am wearing it regularly these days. However it lives in my handbag and I use it if I need a bit of a touch up.
I ordered the Smashbox "Try Me" set with this BB Cream, the Halo powder and Primer. I was very impressed at how easily this blended, it made my skin look very even and smooth. Used along with the Halo powder my skin looked flawless all day and it didn't stick to my dry patches. There was more coverage than a tinted moisturizer, I would say a good buildable to medium coverage and then to med-full when used with the Halo powder. I will very likely repurchase.

I received a sample sachet with either a Sephora or ULTA order, so I cannot speak to the long term benefits of using this product.
Although the sample I received came in light (3rd from lightest-fair), which was a bit dark for me, It still blended out fairly well and was still workable. I put this on at around 7:30am and started to notice some wear through and sheen at around 12pm. The wear through was minimal in some areas and moderate in others. Minimal wear in laugh lines (barely noticeable) and peek-through on the nose (my allergies are ramping up so that's to be expected). Moderate wear in patchiness on my cheeks...lots of little dry patches. I've noticed a similar look with certain sunblocks. As if they have dried out the more sensitive areas of my skin. Sheen was minimal, concentrated mostly near the creases of my nose.This actually wears more decently than most. I wouldn't purchase right now, but if I'm not able to find anything better (or if my skin gets better) then I would consider this.
I'm absolutely loving this. I purchased in a light/medium. What I love about it is, it doesn't look like a stripe. It sort of blends from blush , to the concealer , to my eye liner and inner eye brightner. I'm such a TOUCHE eclate fan.... I may finally have found something I like better.
I use this BB cream everyday and i love it! I personally don't need a lot of coverage, and I would say this BB cream provides light to medium coverage. I love that it has an adequate amount of protection from the sun, because its important to protect your skin from the sun. It doesn't have any particularly strong smell, and it's very creamy and blendable. I use it every day to just even out my skintone, and it's my go-to face product. It lasts through my whole day, which is pretty impressive because i am a cheerleader and I tumble and stunt, etc. and it still stays on strong. I would definitely recommend this product, and i think it's worth the high price tag because of how well it works and the amount in each tube.
The finish is good and it controlled the oil in my skin well. But I find the coverage surprisingly heavy for a BB cream - it's thicker, for example, than LM Tinted Moisturiser. For me a BB cream should be light and natural, and this is much more foundation-like. For that reason I wouldn't buy again.
I'm a long-time user of Smashbox's tinted moisturizer, which is admittedly more sheer, but I still like my facial makeup to be more or less of a natural finish. The more seamless evening out of skin-tone I get with tinted moisturizer is lacking in this BB cream. It feels and looks thick and sometimes cakey if you're not properly exfoliated and moisturized. As it's now winter, my skin suffers from the dryness of indoor heating and from the harsh winds outside (regardless of exfoliation and liberal amounts of moisturizer), so I avoid using this product because it just clings to dry spots or flakey areas. Even in the summer, this BB cream feels heavy and as someone whose skin errs on the oilier side, I've found that it exacerbates any natural sheen so that instead of a healthy glow, you get a small oil-slick around your T-zone as the day progresses.

I received a kit that contained travel size versions of this product in the shade Fair, along with the Photo Finish Primer and Halo Powder. I've been using this BB Cream for a little over a month now and I have to say that I really like it! This is the first western BB Cream I've tried that is comparable to Asian BB Creams!
Claims: Wear alone or as a primer, evens out for flawless skin, improves skin moisture by hydrating, minimizes shine without looking chalky
Pros: Good color match for my pale pale skin
Small amount is needed so it feels light
Skin looks very natural and flawless
Lasts all day
Contains SPF
Controls oil fairly well
Cons: Very expensive
Have to use a primer underneath to help make it more blendable
Does not do a very good job at hydrating
So does it live up to its claims? Other than claiming to improve skin hydration, yes it does. It is a very lightweight product but can easily feel heavy if you put too much powder on. My skin looks very evened out and naturally flawless when I wear this BB Cream. I would recommend that you only powder where necessary and with a light hand. Not a very good product if you have very dry skin and are looking for hydration so be aware!
I got this in one of those holiday sample boxes from Sephora. I figured a BB cream would be better for my skin during the winter months as it is suppose to by hydrating. When I first put it on, it looked fantastic, however, as the day wore on it broke down and I started to look patchy. This was with a primer on underneath. It also did nothing to hydrate my skin. If anything, it dried my skin out. I would not recommend this product to anyone who has normal to dry skin.

Preserving the Credit Union Tax Status Congress has provided the credit union federal tax-exemption because of the not-for-profit, cooperative structure of credit unions, and the special mission credit unions have to serve consumers. The credit union tax status is not based on the size of credit unions or the products and services that they offer; it is based on the credit union structure. This rationale for the tax-exempt status has been ratified several times by Congress.
NCUA's Risk-Based Capital Proposed Rule The NCUA has recently proposed a risk-based capital rule that would require credit unions to raise as much as over $7 billion in capital to maintain their current capital buffers. CUNA asks that members of Congress weigh in on the proposal.
The Need for Capital Reform Congress should enact the Capital Access for Small Businesses and Jobs Act (H.R. 719), which would modify the definition of credit union net worth to include supplemental forms of capital for credit unions and allow the regulator to develop risk based capital standards for the purposes of prompt corrective action (PCA).
Regulatory Burden Concerns regarding bank and credit union examinations increase during difficult economic times. In a recent survey conducted by CUNA, nearly 30% of credit unions reporting dissatisfaction with their most recent exam. Congress is considering legislation to bring fairness to the examination process.
The Privacy Notice Modernization Act The Eliminate Privacy Notice Confusion Act would provide benefits for both credit unions and their members, by streamlining compliance burden and enhancing greater member awareness of the credit union's privacy policies.
Deposit Insurance Parity for Lawyer Trust Accounts The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) has interpreted that the Federal Credit Union Act does not support parity for Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (IOLTAs) and prepaid debit card master accounts to be treated for deposit insurance purposes on the same basis as similar accounts insured by the FDIC. H.R. 3468/S. 2699 would direct the NCUA to issue a regulation extending share insurance to owners of the funds held in trust accounts opened and managed by credit union members.
Access to Federal Home Loan Banks - Privately Insured Credit Unions State-chartered credit unions that are privately insured cannot apply for membership to the FHLB system under current law; H.R. 3584 would correct this drafting error and allow them access
Regulation D Federal Reserve Regulation D limits consumers to six transfers per month from their savings account to any other account. This regulation requires credit unions to devote valuable time and resources to monitoring members' accounts. The fed reports that reserves exceed reserve requirements and Reg D and thus requirements have little effect on monetary policy. Congress should instruct GAO to study how Reg D affects consumers and the financial institutions and how/if modifying it would affect monetary policy.
Mortgage Rules Eight mortgage rules which were finalized in October of 2013 have come into effect in January of 2014 and have drastically affected credit unions. We ask that Congress supervise the implementation of these rules allowing flexibility within the tight deadlines which have been set and exempt credit unions from the QM rule or at least alter the definition of points and fees.
CFPB Reform In the years since the CFPB stood up, the crisis of creeping complexity with respect to credit union regulatory burden has not diminished; rather it has gotten worse. Changes to the structure of the Bureau could help improve the regulatory environment for credit unions, which is why CUNA supports legislation to change the leadership structure of the CFPB, the powers of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), the funding of the Bureau and the use of consumer information by the Bureau.
Examination Fairness Concerns regarding bank and credit union examinations increase during difficult economic times. In a recent survey conducted by CUNA, nearly 30% of credit unions reporting dissatisfaction with their most recent exam. Congress is considering legislation to bring fairness to the examination process.
Data Security Credit Unions are strictly regulated with regard to data security and notification of data breaches to affected members under the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act. CUNA supports legislation which holds all entities responsible for data security and that which would allow credit unions to notify members not only that a data breach has occurred but also the source of the breach.
Housing Finance Reform As Congress considers comprehensive housing finance reform, it is imperative that the new system facilitate credit union lending so that credit unions may continue to be a source of reliable mortgage credit for their members.
Member Business Lending Congress should enact the Credit Union Small Business Jobs Creation Act (H.R. 688), which would allow well-capitalized credit unions operating near the business lending cap to increase their business loan offerings to 27.5% of total assets, if they receive approval by the NCUA. This approach has been endorsed by the Obama administration.
Patent Litigation Reform Recently, credit unions have experienced a dramatic increase in the number of demand letters from non-practicing entities (NPEs). These firms, commonly referred to as "patent trolls," acquire large numbers of obscure or dormant patents and then blanket an industry with demands for licensing fees. Credit unions are often forced into settlements or face expensive litigation. Congress should support legislation that diminishes the predatory practices of patent trolls, particularly in the area of curbing demand letter abuse, lessening impediments to appeal frivolous infringement allegations, and requiring stronger indemnification policies for end-users.
Interchange Fees The Merchant Payment Coalition continues their effort to reduce the fees merchants pay in order to accept payment cards. While these groups continue to raise this issue with Congress, much of the more recent action is taking place in the courts and in state legislatures.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) places new and significant compliance costs on U.S. credit unions, especially those that engage in remittances and/or have members who are not US citizens. Congress should repeal FATCA in order to stop the law's increasing regulatory burdens.

Some advocates say the bill could be interpreted to reverse the Hobby Lobby decision in D.C., but the bill's sponsors say it merely protects employees from being unjustly fired.
In a key win for the Obama administration, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Nina Pillard authored an opinion that should put to rest any remaining legal threats to the contraception benefit.
Illinois on Tuesday elected a Republican to be its next governor while voters supported a mandate on contraception coverage in employer health insurance plans, a direct response to the Supreme Court's controversial Hobby Lobby ruling this summer.
A federal judge in Florida ruled Ave Maria University did not have to comply with the Obama administration's latest accommodation process for religiously affiliated nonprofits that object to coverage of contraception in insurance plans.
The administration sought comments on how to define a closely held for-profit company and whether other reporting or enforcement steps might be appropriate to implement an exemption to the birth control benefit.
The University of Notre Dame has jumpstarted the efforts of religiously affiliated nonprofits to get the Roberts Court to weigh in on the accommodation to the birth control benefit.
Sen. Ted Cruz made two patently false statements at the Values Voter Summit on Friday when he said "Right now, the federal government is suing the Little Sisters of the Poor to try to force Catholic nuns to pay for abortion-inducing drugs."
Sen. Patty Murray has introduced a bill that would both educate the public about emergency contraception and make it available to more rape survivors who go to the emergency room.
Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) sent letters to the CEOs of CVS Health and Walgreens this month calling for them to correct a coding error that led to the illegal charges, and to provide remedies to women who had been unjustly charged.
Priests for Life told the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals that the Obama administration's latest efforts to accommodate religious objections to the birth control benefit fell short.
