This is amazing for the price. I love it as an overall bronzer, I just dust it around the outside perimeter of my face and it gives warmth and a natural healthy glow. I have tried it as a contour, but when I build it up it leaves an orange tinge so I prefer it as an all over face bronzer. It's just the right shade for my pale skin and I would highly recommend it!
This is a well-known cult favorite, and for good reasons. First of all, I don't think any drugstore brand can beat the price of $3 CAD.
I use this everyday, and I make sure to have the lightest hand because there were times that I did apply too heavily and it did look too orange on my light skin, but nothing my kabuki couldn't blend out. My only CON about this product is that it's so hard to open and close! But I can't really complain for the price. I love the fact that its matte, it works well as a contouring bronzer.
Sunny bronzer has been compared and duped for Benefit's Hoola bronzer which is great for people who don't wan't/can't spend the ridic $30 vs. the $3.00. I think every girl should have this in their makeup collection!

Great bronzer for the price!! Apply with a light hand because a little goes a long way! You can always add more, but it's hard to take away!

This bronzer is okay for me, I like that its matte and not shimmery like the majority of DS brands are. However, that's where my love for this stuff ends. It looks orange and patchy if I don't apply very lightly and is hard to blend. IMO, NYC's color wheel bronzer is far superior in terms of blending and I won't repurchase this but it's workable for me.

I'm new to bronzer, I decided to pick this up at Wal Mart today because i've heard good things on youtube from beauty gurus. The packaging is average, standard compact with a mirror, nothing too extrodinary. I don't see why everyone is saying its hard to pick up product, i didn't seem to have that problem at all.
I used my eco-tools blush brush to apply, It seemed a bit orange for my nc25 skin but not anything to horrible since this does come onto the skin fairly lightly, its buildable though so thats a plus. I'm sure there are much better bronzers out there but for $3 i didn't see how I could really go wrong there. Not too bad!
I'd like to co-sign seacolourr's review; I had the exact same issues with this product.
This product is not for ultra-pale (nc-10/nc-15) people, such as myself. When swatched next to my Sephora Los Cabos bronzer (which I happen to love), it's a terracotta orange color-- not a natural color for pale girls. Unless I'm dressing up as an Oompa Loompa for Halloween, this will never get any use out of me. If you're pale and bought this for contouring, you can forget about -- this is not the product for you. I'd suggest either NYX's Taupe blush, Sephora's Los Cabos bronzer, or looking into matte eyeshadows/face powders for a good contour.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product, since the only things this has going for it is its price and availability.

I really enjoy this bronzer, it is the current one I am using. I love the finish, it suits my skin tone, and definitely doesn't go on orange. I have tried HG brands such as Nars Laguna, and I personally prefer this over it, Laguna I found wayyy too dark for my skin,
More reviews by sarahluvmakeup
I really wanted to love this product! but my sensitive acne-prone skin was not allowing it. The bronzer itself gives off just the right shade for contouring. its very light so i feel this will work best for light-medium skin tones. as for the price its dirt cheap!! GREAT buy! which is a shame for me, but once again I am on the search for a bronzer that my skin can love. *boohoo* :(

Thank you, Graham family
Sunday, August 11, 2013
WASHINGTON — Thank you, Eugene Meyer. Thank you, Philip Graham, Katharine Graham, Donald Graham and Katharine Weymouth. Thank you for building and sustaining one of the world's greatest newspapers — and, when the time came, letting it go.
Thank you, Philip Graham, for your ambition. When you took over from your father-in-law, the Post was hardly a dominant journalistic force nationally or even locally. You changed that.
Thank you, Mrs. Graham — you said to call you Kay, but I never could — for your ability to sound like a prim and proper patrician one minute and swear like a sailor the next. Thank you for your ferocity in defense of the newsroom. I remember one luncheon in your office suite at which you tore into some bureaucrat from the Chinese Embassy over a visa problem our correspondent in Beijing was having. You were genteel but utterly relentless, and by the time dessert was served the poor man looked about to cry.
Thank you, Don, for treating every one of us like family. I'm going to sound mushy here, but it's true. Your kindness when anyone at the Post suffered a personal crisis was unlimited. You shared our sorrow at moments of grief and our joy at moments of triumph. I am so proud to call you my friend. |

I'm seriously inspired by this article I saw in the New York Post, "No More Sex In The City," about how celibacy has become "a thing." It opens with the story of 29-year-old Brooklyn musician Katie Jean Arnold:
After hooking up with a stranger on the L train platform and going back to his place, she woke up at his apartment and decided to leave. On her way out the door, he came up to her, naked, and said the words she'll never forget: 'What's your name?' It was then that she made her Big Decision. No. More. Sex. Katie plans to keep her chastity belt on from now on … well at least until she achieves her dream of landing a record deal. "Not having sex is like giving up junk food … sex in New York for me had become like the 99-cent package of Ding Dongs on the corner."
I'm embarrassed to admit that I can totally relate. Oh man, do I love Ding Dongs. Keep reading »

Al-Bashir is an outstanding brute, one of a dying band of African "big" bad leaders. He will most likely rig the election and go on to lord it over a despondent population. However, one way or another, he will soon be dead, very much so, and the people of Sudan shall be free.
Ar you not able for once to set a side the prejudice against Sudan and give credit where credit is due?
President Bashir's administration achieved a piece agreement with SPLA, recent piece agreements with the rebel groups in Darfor, a reasonable economic development despite the wars supported by the West
And now an election that all parties are participating in.
Sudan deserves our support not the continuing arrogance of a colonial mentality.
Would the Arab League support Al-Bashir's use of power to swing the election?
Another Sudan elections article written by someone whose Sudan experience is probably limited to little more than the lobby of Khartoum's Rotana hotel.
The quote on the ballot printing is largely false and used to fuel the unabashed anti-Bashir tone of the article. The connection between "even a rich country" not being able to pull off an election like this and Sudanese not voting before is simply problematic.
Instead of crying fraud before the elections have even happened, the writer should spend more time educating the readership to the logistical difficulties of organizing elections in such a large country with little democratic legacy.

Hunter altercation that spawned search ends in arrest
Updated 5:50 pm Wednesday, December 4, 2013
An argument between two deer hunters in the Chilmark woods that escalated when one of the men threatened the other with a black powder rifle spawned a police search by land and air Tuesday afternoon, which ended with the arrest of Steve Carlson, 49, of Oak Bluffs on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
Chilmark Police Chief Brian Cioffi said in a press release that police received a call via the Island Communication Center about two hunters who had an altercation. "During the altercation it was reported that Mr. Carlson pointed a long gun at the reporting party and threatened him," Mr. Cioffi said.
Mr. Cioffi said the investigation is still active, and it is possible there could be more charges.
Mr. Carlson, in an interview with The Times on Wednesday, said he acted in self defense and that his hunting rifle was not loaded. He is due for arraignment in Edgartown District Court Thursday.
Police first suspected that Mr. Carlson was hiding in a swamp in Chilmark. Up-Island police departments and a State Police helicopter assisted in the search. Reports of the search prompted school officials to secure the Chilmark School.
The search ended about 7:30 pm, after family and friends convinced Mr. Carlson to go to the police station.
Chilmark School students left for home a few minutes later than usual Tuesday afternoon. School officials locked the school, locked the doors to the classrooms, and pulled down the shades in mid-afternoon. Police stood by at the school, superintendent of schools James Weiss told The Times in a phone conversation at about 2:50 pm.
"We have delayed dismissal, until we know that things are safe, and Chief Cioffi will let the school know when they can be dismissed," Mr. Weiss said at the time. "And that's all I know." Normal dismissal time would have been around 2:30 pm.
Students were all safe and accounted for, and Mr. Carlson had not approached the school and had nothing to do with school personnel or students, a school official told The Times.
Susan Stevens, the school principal, said Wednesday that the mood in the locked down building was calm.
"Everyone stayed really calm. The classes continued with their normal daily routines," she said. Ms. Stevens said that was true of students, teachers, and parents. She added that there were lessons to be learned from the experience and that she and staff will meet to review the event.
According to MV Times court report, this person has at least 2 OUI convictions, which to me signals an alcohol problem. Anyone convicted twice of drunk driving should lose their gun license along with their drivers license. It's bad enough worrying that the gunfire is too close to home without having to worry about the shooter's sobriety.
You don't need an FID card to use a muzzleloader. That is, presumably, why he was carrying that instead of a shotgun. FID cards are revoked for any OUI conviction.
. FID cards are revoked for any OUI conviction. Not entirely true at all. See here:. http://massduitriallawyer.com/blog/tag/firearms-licensing-with-dui/
The Massachusetts Criminal History Systems Board (CHSB) electronically and automatically notifies Police Chiefs and Firearms Licensing Authorities whenever a license holder is arraigned on any criminal charges anywhere in Massachusetts, so that the Police Chief or Firearms Licensing Officer can review the license holder's situation and decide whether or not to suspend or revoke the License to Carry Firearms or FID card. Criminal records are also thoroughly reviewed whenever someone applies for a new license or they renew an existing license.
is this duck dynasty back to the swamps, was it Richard Kimble? Did he threaten Ripper?
Alcohol is big problem. Probably cost taxpayers thousands to police the effects from this drug. Large fines have to be given out to pay the cost of Police to handle it. I hope this guy gets fined thousands. Also homeowners that have detectors that go off, the police should be reimbursed for every minute it cost the taxpayers for false calls.
You're equating a false alarm on a fire or burglar system to a alcohol related accidents and arrests?
Yes if it demands attention that should be used for greater problems. Probably requires an officer per department just to answer false calls. that would be fine and dandy if its all paid for by those using the service.
How would you know if it was a fake call without going there? What if someone sent the alarm off and let? My alarm goes off often and once my neighbors said they saw someone try to open a window but when police came no one was there so it looked like a false call. How about the mv court system punish people like the real world?!? No person in any major city would get 2.5yr in a house of correction for sexually assaulting a child!! I bet this will either be dismissed or result in less than $200 in fines.
The County collects Hundreds of thousands if dollars in "alarm fees"…
The county does not collect a dime in alarm fees. It's up to the individual town on how they handle false alarms, it's in town by-laws.
Check with the County Treasurer's office…
or better yet, read it in the MV Times http://www.mvtimes.com/2013/03/20/surprised-dukes-county-finds-half-mill-didnt-know-had-14843/
Read it. Must be incorrect or mean something else entirely. Towns have by-laws that regulate fines for false alarm. the town sends out the fines and the town clerks collect the money.
I know exactly how much I've paid the County on behalf of ESS!!!!! Call Noreen Flanders! Ask for amount collected last fiscal year in alarm fees!
Nice, my comment got deleted. I have never paid the county a dime for my alarm.
1989 court decision…. monitored alarms must pay Sheriff"s Dept fee… it's hard being the only company following the law…but hey! Isn't that what your alarm company SHOULD be doing? Following the law? Sigh…I hope you're not proud of evading the law "John Royal".
I'm not evading the law. I pay my alarm company. What they do with the money is not my problem. And where is this court decision? I can't find it.
Someone (not I!) sent this story to the Howie Carr Show on WRKO, and they read part of it on the "Police Blotter" segment on Friday, 12/6.
The police system in this country is becoming hypermilitarized. Not even MV is immune.

- 6 pomegranates
- 1 lemon
- 1 cup(s) sugar
- 2 cup(s) water
- Cut pomegranates in half crosswise. Gently lift out seeds, section by section, and place in a saucepan. (You should have about 6 cups of seeds.) Set aside.
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove lemon zest in wide strips (be careful to leave the bitter white pith behind), allowing the strips to fall into the saucepan with the pomegranate seeds. Squeeze the lemon and strain the juice into the saucepan. Add sugar and water; bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Cook over medium-low heat until the pomegranate seeds turn pale, about 10 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on the seeds to extract as much juice as possible. (Discard solids.) Chill until cold. Pour into the canister of an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. (Alternatively, freeze in a shallow metal cake pan until solid, about 6 hours. Break into chunks and process in a food processor until smooth.)

July 22, 2009, 8:14 AM
By Chris Jones
Mike Schreiber
In some ways, the human body is a deceptively simple machine: Air needs to go in and out, and blood needs to go around and around. Anything that interrupts those two processes is bad and must be corrected quickly. I was told again and again to remember the ABCs: airway, breathing, circulation. That's the essence of emergency medicine. The problem is, there are hundreds of reasons why the ABCs stop working.
Take the heart. It's a pump. A heart attack stops it from pumping, which means blood isn't carrying oxygen to the brain, which means the brain dies, and the brain can't repair itself or be brought back to life. It's pretty simple math. But there are several types of cardiac arrest, and each needs to be treated differently. Some cause the heart to flatline, like we've all seen on TV. We've also seen the TV doctors shock a flatlining patient with paddles, but that's not the way it works. In reality, the paddles are used when someone's heart is beating too fast or fibrillating and needs to be shocked into a normal rhythm. CPR won't restart a heart, either. CPR saves lives it really does, no joke because pumping on someone's chest will generate enough blood flow (though only about 16 percent of the heart's normal stroke volume) to keep the brain alive until help arrives. But only seriously toxic medications such as epinephrine, atropine, and dopamine will coax a chugging heart to start beating properly again.
The drugs were in the big blue bag. It's the portable pharmacy in the portable emergency room, and it came in with us on every call. There's glucagon and dextrose for diabetics, morphine and fentanyl for pain, naloxone for narcotic overdoses, and a couple dozen other medications. Three more pieces of equipment were carried on every call, no exceptions: a red bag containing an oxygen tank, an intubation kit, and a cardiac monitor. The truck was also stocked with trauma bags filled with dressings (orange), a bag that contained resuscitation equipment for infants (light green), and a spinal bag with restraints and collars (dark green). The appearance of those bags on a scene meant something very bad had happened.
Before my first shift, I worked my way through the bags with a paramedic named Suzanne Noël. It was impossible to cover everything that might happen on a given shift broken bones, strokes, childbirth, heart failure, brain injury, gunshot wounds, stab wounds, toxic shock or where the drama might take place: in a bedroom, a bar, or a car upside down in a ditch. It's a job that requires a free kind of spirit, and like most paramedics I met, Suzanne was bright-eyed and quick to smile. "Seeing what we see, we know how lucky we are to be alive," she said.
It was one of the great lessons of the truck. I expected to find a bunch of burnouts dragging through the graveyard shift, broken men and women who dipped into the blue bag so they might find sleep. But paramedics are a surprisingly sunny bunch. They understand that it's all so much randomness anyway, a cosmic confluence of vectors. One night, four kids got into a car and raced down the slushy streets until the driver lost control. The car spun like a roulette wheel before it was finally stopped by a streetlight. One kid, unlucky enough to have chosen the seat that ended up with the streetlight in it, suffered massive head injuries. The other three walked away. They knew the out-of-body feeling that follows the cheating of death, the feeling that every day between that day and their last will be a gift that so easily could have gone unopened. Paramedics know that feeling better than anyone, because they walk out of nightmares unscathed again and again. They know what a genuinely bad day really looks like, and they know that day will come for them, too, but today is not that day, and that knowledge alone was reason enough for Suzanne to smile.
With Suzanne's guidance, I intubated a dummy over and over until I stopped breaking its teeth, I calculated doses of medicine based on patient weight and time of delivery, I pulled a coin out of a dummy's throat with a pair of McGill forceps, and I learned to read ECGs and spot the difference between ventricular fibrillation and torsades de pointes. (Ottawa paramedics are among the first in the world to be trained to diagnose 12-lead ECGs. One type of heart attack, a STEMI, creates a wave pattern the paramedics call "tombstones"; a patient diagnosed with a STEMI is delivered straight to the heart surgeon, bypassing the emergency room, to undergo an angioplasty.) Unlike services in many American cities, the Ottawa Paramedic Service requires each recruit to have finished two years of college-level education in health sciences and two to four more years in paramedicine, as well as spend at least 480 hours in the truck. These aren't the junkie mercenaries from Bringing Out the Dead.

Customer Review Summary for Cobra CPI2575 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
September 24, 2009 | power issues |
1 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
Review by
atom from minneapolis, MN
The Cobra CPI 2575 has power issues. We originally installed the inverter and it worked wonderfully, until we found that it drained the battery and taxed the alternator. We remedied the problem by installing a high output alternator, but this only created a new problem that we are still dealing with. Apparently the inverter needs a very specific wattage or amperage to turn on; after it is on it can handle any load, but we have trouble getting the thing to turn on. It is either over powered while the car is running or under powered, thus it will not turn on. We have found that it will turn on and operate fine when we turn it on and immediately start the car.

Wash artichokes just before cooking. Cut off the tips of spikier outside leaves.
Immerse clean, whole artichokes in a large pan of cold water and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil. Cover and bring to boil, simmering for 25 to 30 minutes. To eat, simply pull off leaves, dip in lemon butter, vinaigrette, or sauce, and scrape the pulp with teeth. Discard remainder of leaf.
Artichokes are an excellent source of vitamin C and folic acid, and a good source of magnesium and potassium.

French water and waste group Veolia Environnement said first-half 2014 net profit more than doubled as its focus on waste treatment for industrial clients over municipal water customers began to pay off.
The firm also confirmed its earnings guidance.
Consolidated net income jumped to 210 million euros from a restated 85.5 million in the year-earlier period, while revenue edged up 1.4 percent to 11.23 billion euros from 11.07 billion.
"Commercial efforts targeting the industrial sector are already bearing fruit," Veolia Chief Executive Antoine Frerot said.
As margins in its core French water business are squeezed in difficult contract negotiations with its municipal customers, the firm is focusing on waste treatment for industrial customers.
Frerot told an earnings call that 60 percent of the firm's new orders during the first half had come from industrial clients and 40 percent from municipal clients. He cited several large contracts in the oil industry and deals to dismantle industrial installations.
He said the benefit of the industrial market is that it can be less capital-intensive. Even if Veolia designs, builds and runs industrial installations, clients generally want to own them, so Veolia does not have to finance them, thereby reducing its capital needs.
He added that margins are also better in these new businesses than in Europe's mature municipal water markets.
"As these are new markets, there are not a lot of competitors yet, therefore it is a sellers' market and we are happy with the margins that we are earnings in these new industrial markets," he said.
He said that he expects Veolia's revenue to grow by at least three percent per year in coming years and that most of this growth will come from industrial clients, as he expects stable revenue in its core municipal water activities.
Besides recycling water for the oil industry, Veolia is also focusing on the mining industry, is investing in installations to handle toxic waste and energy-from-waste plants. (Reuters)

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I haven't thought too deeply about A9, but I'm guessing the privacy squads will have a field day with it.
I love their approach to complying with COPPA
They should advertise as the search engine for adults.
Not revolutionary, but cool. Alexa provides data that no one else does, and it's neat to be able to get some background info on a site before clicking through. It gives the savvy searcher a way to do a little screening before typing in their credit card info to some random site.
The million dollar question is - when are we going to start seeing Amazon discounts for those that download the Alexa toolbar? The usefulness of A9 depends on the usefulness of the Alexa data, which is pretty suspect at the moment.
Not to mention that while people aren't very good at filtering good from bad results (how can they when all they see is a couple of lines of text) they will still be slightly better than "random" at skipping over clearly spammy-looking serps while clicking more frequently on trusted/popular/real-looking sites. So the results post initial crawl should look on the surface cleaner than Google's (if much less inclusive)
I'm not saying this is what they *will* do, but if they haven't at least thought about it somebody in the planning department needs to start drinking stronger coffee.
It's pretty unlikely they could resist keeping such valuable personalization data.
Google have done for years - why wouldn't A9?
One of the main "features" is your personal search history. You can access your back history at anytime from any computer. But it also sounds like you can opt out of it.
Business 2.0 magazine has an interview today with Udi Manber [business2.com] that may answer your question more accurately.
It's no more than an extension of the Alexa toolbar spyware program. Read the "privacy policy." Who needs it?
yeh, next!
I bet for three weeks! ;-)
...and as many have said, Next!
"Customers who searched for purple widgets also searched for yellow gizmos."
I also like the features like book search, search history and quick search (19.com/query) quite a lot.
I'm a little dubious about the search results though, but I guess that's because my site (number one for given keyword on Google) is nowhere to be seen here.
Very interesting though - try "online book stores". You'd have thought Amazon would pop up on an Amazon search engine... ;)
So much easier than the "http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=my+search+goes+here" of Google.
Its done with some simple .htaccess coding (which is commonly used by webmasters to convert a dynamic URL - as search engines don't support those.). I guess Amazon wants its SERPs to be indexed by Google.
[edited by: sidyadav at 4:00 pm (utc) on April 16, 2004]
Google list 5 to 8 directories or comparaisons sites and A9 will show half less of thoses resellers sites
Looking strictly at the surface, I agree it's not that exciting right now. But I'm stunned at the inability of some WebmasterWorld users not to look into the future and consider the implications of what this can become in terms of personalized search and blending search and commerce into one. (Not to mention what it means for the future of the Google-Amazon relationship....)
Perhaps Brett sees something you don't?
Look at the Yahoo interview talking about personalization as the third major wave in search [e-marketing-news.co.uk...]
A9 is headed UDI Manber - a very serious search dude. If Amazon didn't care about building out the search features, they would have given the project to the clowns over at Alexa.
AFAIK, A9 is the first non-porn search engine that excludes children under 13 from using it. Another sign that they are going to do new things.
It is only Beta.
Their toolbar has some interesting features - personally I really like the imdb search.
Yes I see many really good possibilities. Amazon leads the field with its personalized recommendation technology. But with that said, I refuse to get excited about vaporware. Until they show they have the will to follow through on their talent I'm not going to get excited about something that does not yeet exist.
It already has major features that exist in no other search engine (that I know of).
I wasn't asking anyone to get excited, Brad. (Lord knows the Gmail threads have enough of that....) Just hoping for a little more discussion than the wave of "Next!"s we got. :)
They have an outstanding book search, great (and transparent to operate) personalization software, vast experience with user input (reviews), and more. And I admire the way the A9 toolbar pulls together such resources as IMDB (fantastic), books , web etc. They should also be able to blow the doors off of both Froogle and Yahoo Shopping with a shopping search.
But, I really think they need to distinguish themselves from being a Google retread before they will be a serious contender. People need a reason to overcome habit and inertia to switch to using A9 over Google or Yahoo. I'm not sure that what I am seeing now can do that.
Here's why I'm being so cautious: NBCi, Go.com, Excite, AV, lycos: the road to search engine sucess is littered with the corpses of companies with big plans, big promises, big money, and good features but not the will, vision or attention span to see it through.
That is going to be the big challenge for Amazon, getting new users to adopt A9 and getting people to switch to A9 from other engines. Can they do it, right now, with what is there?
I'm willing to take a wait and see attitude and see what they build before rendering any kind of final judgement. Nobody will cheer louder than I if they can pull it off. :)
Challenges and recap:
1. Attract users and keep them. (create positive buzz) 2. reliance on Google. 3. reliance on MSIE 4. disabling the browser back button
BTW: They have released an A9 search plugin for us Mozilla/Firefox users, which is very welcome.
A9 Toolbar [toolbar.a9.com] There is no visual hint for "Block Popups" on or off state. I think I have so many block popup programs running in the background that I am afraid of a riot.
The Diary according to the official 7 Reasons to Use A9.com [a9.com] is
I like the "Search This Site:(www.webmasterworld.com)" function on the A9 Toolbar [toolbar.a9.com] as the buttons are bigger than on the Alexa Toolbar [download.alexa.com] and the display is easier to understand than "Search Current Website"
I like the search results from A9 [A9.com] and search history. Dislike color scheme.
Was always a fan of Alexa ratings and related sites listings.
Would like to put a search box on my site as have done with other but do not know how to code the search URL scheme A9.com/query
[edited by: jeremy_goodrich at 8:57 pm (utc) on April 20, 2004] [edit reason] see TOS thanks - don't drop your url ;) [/edit]
I found the part about shared with its partners a bit disturbing. I guess I won't be going the 9a or Alexa very often. Was quite suprised at this adware warning because I have been on Alexa before and it never left adware on my machine.

Summary: This revised edition of Adventure Education (1991), brings together the current ideas of many practitioners of adventure programming to reveal the extent of the literature in the field, providing insight into every aspect of this ongoing movement. Change for society and communities is the altruistic end point sought by adventure programs through adventurous activities such as outdoor pursuits, initiative activities, and ropes or challenge courses which are all discus ...show moresed in this text.
The first section of this book examines the four categories of programming--recreational, educational, developmental, and therapeutic--from the perspectives of different authors. Recreational adventure programs change the way people feel: their primary purpose is to entertain, energize, or teach skills. Educational adventure programs change the way people think: their primary purpose is to bring awareness and understanding. Developmental adventure programs change the way people behave: their primary purpose is to improve functional actions. Therapeutic adventure programs change the way people malbehave: their primary purpose is to reduce dysfunctional actions. Subsequent sections examine the history and philosophy of the field. Sections on social psychology and learning trace the theories behind human behavior and change. The leadership and administration section considers the tasks of working with people and managing adventure programs. Sections on settings and clients show the depth of adventure programming locations and the breadth of its influence with people. A final section examines the world, environmental, and spiritual perspectives of adventure programming. ...show less

Best City Yet
Edinburgh was probably one of the prettiest places I've ever been. There is so much to see and do and everything is really easy to get to. My group and I met the nicest people while abroad and feel Edinburgh was by far the friendliest city we've collectively visited. I would defiantly recommend Edinburgh to anyone and everyone, and Scotland in general. We have never felt more welcomed into a city or culture.
Insider Tip:Talk to people! They are extremely nice and very willing to help. Take a bus tour to the Highlands if you can - best part of our trip!

Skip Maine state header navigation
TO: | All Employees, Agency/Department Heads and Human Resource Representatives |
SUBJECT: | FLSA Salary Basis Policy |
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that requires most employers in the United States be paid at least the federal minimum wage for all hours worked and overtime pay at time and one-half the regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 hours in a workweek.
However, Section 13(a)(1) of the FLSA provides an exemption from both minimum wage and overtime pay for employees employed as bona fide executive, administrative, and professional employees. Section 13(a)(1) and Section 13(a)(17) also exempt certain computer employees. To qualify for exemption, employees generally must meet certain tests regarding their job duties and be paid on a salary basis at not less than $455 per week. Job titles do not determine exempt status. In order for an exemption to apply, an employee's specific job duties and salary must meet all the requirements of the U.S. and Maine Department of Labor regulations.
To qualify for exemption, employees generally must be paid not less than $455 per week on a salary basis. These salary requirements do not apply to teachers and employees practicing law or medicine. Exempt computer employees may be paid at least $455 on a salary basis or on an hourly basis at a rate not less than $27.63 an hour.
Being paid on a "salary basis" means an employee regularly receives a predetermined amount of compensation each pay period on a weekly, or less frequent, basis. The predetermined amount cannot be reduced because of variations in the quality or quantity of the employee's work. Subject to exceptions listed below, an exempt employee must receive the full salary for any workweek in which the employee performs any work, regardless of the number of days or hours worked. Exempt employees do not need to be paid for any workweek in which they perform no work. If the employer makes deductions for an employee's predetermined salary, i.e., because of the operating requirements of the business, that employee is not paid on a "salary basis." If the employee is ready, willing, and able to work, deductions may not be made for time when work is not available.
Maine law (26 MRSA, § 662), and the regulations pertaining thereto, define these exemptions and the salary basis requirement under State law. (Under current Maine law, the salary basis requirement does not meet the federal minimum.) In the event of a conflict, the rate most favorable to the employee prevails.
Deductions from pay for exempt State employees are permissible when an exempt State employee: is absent from work for personal reasons other than sickness or disability; for absences due to sickness or disability if the deduction is made in accordance with a bona fide plan, policy, or practice of providing compensation for salary lost due to illness; to offset amounts employees receive as jury or witness fees, or for military pay; or for unpaid disciplinary suspensions of one or more full days imposed in good faith for workplace conduct rule infractions. Also, an employer is not required to pay the full salary in the initial or terminal week of employment; for penalties imposed in good faith for infractions of safety rules of major significance, or for weeks in which an exempt employee takes unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, voluntary leave without pay, or for absences due to budget-required furloughs. In these circumstances, either partial-day or full-day deductions may be made.
It is the State's policy to comply with the salary basis requirements of the FLSA and Maine law. Therefore, all managers are prohibited from making any improper deduction from the salaries of exempt employees. The State, as an employer, wants employees to be aware of this policy and that the State of Maine does not allow deductions that violate the FLSA or Maine law.
If you believe that an improper deduction has been made to your salary, you should immediately report this information to your direct supervisor, or to your agency human resource representative, or to the Director, Bureau of Human Resources.
Reports of improper deductions will be promptly investigated. If it is determined that an improper deduction has occurred, you will be promptly reimbursed for any improper deduction made.
S/ Frank A. Johnson
Frank A. Johnson, Acting Director
Bureau of Human Resources

The return of Topps' American Pie line after a decade on the sidelines was a slightly surprising one, but after just glimpsing at some of the cards in the newly released set it's clear that it has done its job.

Adam Lambert Is Launching a Makeup Line for Men So We Can All Be as Fabulous as He Is
Hey guys; ever look in the mirror and think, "Not bad, but I could really stand to be Lambert-ized a little?"
Well then, rejoice, for American Idol fave Adam Lambert is launching a makeup line for men, so you too can finally achieve the look that's enchanted a nation!
In addition to the obvious choice of guy-liner, the cosmetics line will also include foundation, concealer, eye shadow, mascara and lip-gloss. We're going to assume that the products will be fortified with a non-smudge formula, so your face won't smear should you decide to spontaneously make out with one of your band members onstage.
Are you buying what Lambo's selling? Offer your thoughts in the comments section.

A new interface for Wrath? {WoW}
Sep 11th 2007 1:56PM The Totem UI would be cool. I couldn't stand playing a shaman with the stock UI. Waaaay too many spells to fit on those bars, and boy did it get cluttered.
Seeing as the Death Knight will introduce the whole Rune mechanic, I could easily foresee a couple of class-specific UI tools.
The Karazhan exchange program {WoW}
Sep 10th 2007 11:54AM My old guild did this all of the time in the pre-tBC days. We ran two Molten Core squads for several months with our prime raiders also running BWL (we dropped MC1 to make room for AQ40, etc.), and all of our newer/less experienced players in MC2 as well as alts, friendly guilds who needed some guidance in how to run an MC, PUG, etc. Needless to say, we were a BIG guild in those days.
It was intended to give the newly 60 members an opportunity to raid while also having to learn the strats with some effort and not just easy mode let the pros walk us through it. People would inevitably get called up to MC1 to backfill when a normal raider couldn't attend (I ran the B-team as MT and raid leader, but was also an OT for the main raid squad, and this was quite an orchestration of roster management between two 40-man raids). For some classes rotations were essential to not waste loot as we were blessed with constant priest and hunter drops. Promotions to MC1 were common, but this started to be the downfall for the second raid as their best players would be seconded to the A squad leaving a gimped B team. Then the animosity starts growing when you cancel raids and they feel left out, the burnout sets in for the players running in both the main raid team who pushes through new content and carries the B-team as well, and the general guild frustration grows.
This very well might be easier with Kara as the team sizes are MUCH smaller and you would likely have more parity between teams. Heck, in my old guild if all things stayed the same (they clearly did not :), we would have faced the prospect of running like 7 Kara squads.
Voting requirements for the AFK debuff {WoW}
Sep 6th 2007 3:56PM The threshold should be variable. Like 10 or 20% of ACTIVE players. Then all it takes is two votes from the 5 active players out of the 35 AFKers to apply debuffs. Still, even with that I fear the reporting system is going to be too difficult to report on a lot of people. :(
If the match ends and you have the AFK debuff, it should be treated like the Deserter debuff and prevent you from going back into a BG for a period of time.
World of Warcraft toys {WoW}
Aug 27th 2007 10:38AM The holly this year should transform your flying mount into a sleigh pulled by reindeer. :P
I've got a lot of crap clogging the bank spaces of alts. I've got all of your usual stuff: snowballs, holly, mistletoe, flower petals from Valentine's day, on some alts I still have the buff candies, fire flowers, etc. I'm also quite proud that on some really old alts, I still have Halloween wands. Freaks the F out of guildmates when they're suddenly a bat. :D
Dodge Caliber SRT4 starts at $22,995 {Autoblog Archive}
Aug 21st 2007 10:25AM Why? Availability. The Mazdaspeed3 has what... maybe 1500-2000 units available in the US if not globally? You're probably far more likely to be able to buy an SRT-4.
Don't get me wrong, I still wouldn't touch one. :P
MMO Art expanding, artists wanted {WoW}
Aug 15th 2007 3:21PM The lack of WoW and prevalence of CoH/CoV artwork on sites like this is largely due to the fact that your characters in CoH/CoV are very much uniquely your's. There's just such a massive amount of customizations that can be done to your character that the combinations are virtually infinite.
By contrast, everyone in WoW looks largely the same. We all grind for and lust after the same gear which makes us look even more alike. Sure, you could commission a nice portrait of yourself, but you could also sell it to the other 50,000 people who look just like you do! :)
Sirius teams up with Sonos for wireless multi-room audio {Engadget}
Aug 15th 2007 11:16AM Could be because Sirius is launching a bunch of products today... Unheard of, I know.
Questions answered at BlizzCon {WoW}
Aug 7th 2007 2:25PM @4 and 7
Yes, you will get to use your flying mounts but only in a very limited capacity. Probably only in some of the highest levels of Northrend, and around Dalaraan (which is already in itself flying). I read that it is speculated you'd need to be high 70s to use it this side of Outland. As for using it all around Azeroth, that would be a big no-no. Would greatly break the 1-58 game mechanics and they'd need to rewrite the whold World... of Warcraft to accomodate it.
I'm still looking for confirmation on Grim Batol and Uldum. There's mention of Red Dragonflights and Ulduar, but I haven't seen anything confirming them. Would be great to see as new mid-level content (yeah right...) as having level 70-80s running through those zones would really hamper people leveling through them.
Around Azeroth: Moonlight over Lordamere Lake {WoW}
Aug 1st 2007 12:20PM Peaceful? I guess a raft full of mummified corpses is more serene than the skeletons roaming around if Ryan just panned left a little bit. ;)
Ask WoW Insider: What pre-BC content did you miss? {WoW}
Jul 20th 2007 3:55PM Probably all the fun that used to be Eastern Plaguelands before the Naxxramas expansion. Turning Light's Hope Chapel into an all out gank fest/PVP battle. All of the deep lore quest chains about the Scarlet Crusade. When the Tier .5 sets were released, that was a fantastic quest chain, even if it was expensive. The 45 minute UD Strat run... Some of those pieces were good compliments to tier 1.
The Ahn'Qiraj world event, while woefully laggy, is another notable experience. Pretty much any world event, though AQ felt more involving than Naxx did.

Mesa's Fire Department will donate two fire pumpers to its sister city of Guaymas, Mexico. The trucks date to 1985, have met the city's replacement criteria, and can no longer be used as frontline vehicles in Mesa.
But Mesa firefighters say the trucks are still operational and will be of high value to Guaymas, where the fire department is building its third fire station with limited funding. The Guaymas firefighters now cover 4,633 square miles with five fire trucks.
The Pierce Dash fire pumpers would only sell for $5,000 to $15,000 each. Mesa firefighters recommended the donation, which was agreed to by the City Council.

BHOPAL: All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bhopal would soon have a 1-gigabit bandwidth for internet that will help it link with the best institutes and help collaborate on teaching and research activities. The ministry of science and technology has approved the project, according to AIIMS officials here on Wednesday.
"A dedicated fibre optic line 1 gbps connection would help in tele-medicine, education, research and domestic use as well," said AIIMS dean Dr Kishore Chaudhry. The implementation would be undertaken by the IT wing of the power grid corporation.
"Once the fibre optic network is installed and AIIMS hospital service begins, it would result in improved research and communications. For instance, image transmission and analysis could be real-time," said AIIMS Bhopal head (IT and TSG) Puneet Sharma. "Tele-medicine and consultations could also be online," he added.
Earlier in February, the first virtual teaching (VT) classroom session through the national knowledge commission (NKC) had taken place in Bhopal. Students of Gandhi Medical College (GMC) interacted with faculty of AIIMS, Delhi for an hour-long session.
The pilot project under the aegis of NKC is aimed at raising the average medical education standards and increasing interactivity between medical colleges. According to GMC professor and HOD, forensic medicine, Dr B P Dubey about 9 chapters of various subjects have been taught through VT classrooms for the students of GMC.

If you've ever wanted to look just like the vapid, gluttonous elite of a dystopian dictatorship that forces its children to murder each other both for mass entertainment and as a means of social control, you're in luck!
No, the Hunger Games Capital Colours nail polish collection isn't something from SNL: it's all too real. China Glaze, the company behind it, seems to have missed that the whole "Capitol look" was supposed to signify the corruption of the elite's souls, and not their kicky fashion sense. Then again, maybe "monstrous, inhuman idiot" is the new look for 2012. I've never been accused of fashion-forwardness.
I can't imagine a better look for There Will Be Blood Night at Brunswick Lanes, or hitting the links with the Funny Games golf-club collection. How about you?
(And if you want to talk about The Hunger Games, we've got a hopping discussion going on in our forums right now...)
There's even an official Tumblr dedicated to "Capitol Couture".
On one hand, this seems to miss the point? OTOH, you get a lot more Vaders, Storm Troopers and bounty hunters at cons than you get Lukes, rebel troops or ewoks. OTGH, nail polish? Really?
ironic isn't it? I think that the movie made the capital folks look too pretty...where were the people with dyed skin and tatoos all over their faces??
Similar sentiments with The Lorax and how it was marketed like disposable Popcorn bags, advertising an SUV to school kids, slapping "Lorax/Truffula tree approved/friendly" labels on cleaning products...

Unwanted-Non Configurable Desktop Folder Menu Toolbar
I recently noticed that whenever I select a desktop folder and it opens, I have a menu bar (File, Edit, View, Tools, Help) that opens between the top address bar and the next bar in that folder (organize, system properties..etc) and when I drag my mouse over the file, edit..etc, those entries highlight in dark blue (barely readable) and the toolbar seems to function normally with drop-down etc. but I am not able to either toggle the toolbar on or off and any selections of toolbars under the view category do not appear to function and the only thing I am able to do is lock or unlock the toolbars in the view category and no selection of other entries like google, avast, or any other toolbars allow me to select or de-select the entry.
What is this toolbar, why is it there, why can't I get rid of it, why can't I seem to modify the colors of the text and highlight (as in the case of IE where the text will turn from a black color to white when the highlight hovers in that toolbar to make it readable) and why don't any of my settings in the folder options change or fix this toolbar? I have uninstalled any rogue toolbars in my system and nothing seems to work. I have also ran spyware, registry cleaners, and other system optimization software to no avail. I have advanced experience with computers, but I'm perplexed, frustrated, and I surrender with this issue. Please Help! Running: Windows 7 Ultimate in 32bit format. Again, my issue is not with Internet Explorer but rather Windows 7 Folders. I pasted a Jpeg here but wasn't able to attach one with the active issue with my knowledge, but this should give you an idea of what I am referring to. Begging for help or advice and thanks in advance! |

Thanks to both of you for your lightning fast replies and rest assurred, I have attempted both and all of your suggestions applicable to my issue to no avail as the issue is still there! I have done each instruction and re-started on each instance and the problem is still there. Also, just for clarification..my issue IS NOT with Explorer and is isolated only to the previously detailed issue of the Folder specific selections, particularly with the Desktop and other areas, but Explorer appears to function as expected. I'm willing to keep trying though and thanks again for your time! |

Try this, make a backup of the registry key just in case:
Registry - Backup and Restore Open regedit Start> In search box type regedit> Enter Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\ShellBrowser (Yes, I know your issue is with Windows explorer ) In the pane on the right, delete the key ITBar7Layout Restart your PC and see if that has fixed it.

One quick note about my previous thanks..I was curious, is that particular registry binary data a rogue program addition or how did it end up there in the 1st place?
