Someone gave this to me as a birthday gift and I must say I am very satisfied with this product. My makeup stayed on longer and didn't budge even at the middle of the day. I liked how just the right amount of product comes out so you really get just enough and don't let any of it go to waste. Wouldn't buy one again pretty soon though since I find it a bit too expensive and I'd rather splurge on other skin care.
More reviews by maggiethebeagle
I really like the texture and scent of this primer. It does not break me out. The packaging is great with the pump & plastic bottle. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is if it is my makeup or the primer that is causing the creasing on my chin & around my nose. Foundation is UD Naked Skin.
I was using blue and the sales lady gave me netural by mistake so I tried. The texture is smoother for neutral. My make up stays longer, create a effective barrier between my skin and make up - I experience lesser black heads and outbreak .. which I m quite surprise. I am in my 5th bottles already anyway. the only down side is there is no spf to it.
This primer is fine, but nothing special. It works as well as pretty much every other primer I've tried on my combination skin. However, this one doesn't have SPF, which to me is a negative. Since this primer isn't any better or cheaper than others, I'll probably go with another product next time.
Overall: Fine, but doesn't do anything unique and isn't competitively priced.
Value: Not great. For primers, it's on the expensive side of average and doesn't perform any better. There are probably other primers that will work equally well that are cheaper.
I completely agree with the previous review. I got a small sample and really liked how i smoothed out my skin and made foundation glide on. It def made my makeup stay on longer but having been exposed to MUFE's bottles, I'm not a big fan of not knowing how much product is left and that the pump is really hard to use when you get to the bottom of the bottles.
I would want a bigger sample to try and give it another shot.
I got a sample of this. I have previously used the Green, but never the neutral. This is not a bad primer. I was impressed that I did not need much and got 3 uses out of one sample packet. I do think it helped moisturize and smooth out my skin. I am just not sure if it is worth the price tag. I am not a fan of the bottles. It is hard to see how much is left and the bottle lids do not twist off for you to get it all out.
I liked this & thought I had found a primer I could stick with but it is making me break out. The search continues...
NW10-15 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW.
I used this in conjunction with the Make Up For Ever HD Foundation. Both were samples from Sephora.
Having tried a number of primers (my HG NARS Pro Prime, BE Primer, MAC Prep + Prime, Korres Silicone Free, Lancome La Base Pro, Cinema Secrets Ultimate), this one did not stand out, for better or worse. I would recommend trying it as a sample if you are in love with the Make Up For Ever HD Foundation just to see if it makes a positive difference using the two products as a pair.
I like to wear sunscreen every day as part of my skin care routine. I have combination skin, and don't like to add too many layers underneath my foundation, so I love it if my primers accomplish these goals:
1) creates a smooth surface to apply my foundation and makes my foundation look better than without the primer;
2) takes the place of moisturizer for my dry cheeks;
3) acts as oil control for my T-zone;
4) has enough sunscreen to take the place of an additional sunscreen layer;
5) and makes my foundation last longer than without the primer.
Did this primer do that?
1) yes;
2) not really - my cheeks looked dry after I set the foundation with powder (but this could be the foundation's issue too);
3) decent but not amazing oil control;
4) does not have sunscreen : (
5) and I felt this foundation did not last on my face at all! with or without primer.
I am glad I got the sample to try, but will not be purchasing the foundation or the primer.

I got this primer as part of the HD Complexion Starter Kit. I really just wanted the Kabuki brush and setting powder included in the kit. As such, I can't comment much on the price. I do like the primer and really like the light scent. As other reviewers have mentioned, it doesn't contain silicone and is more moisturizing. I tend to have dry skin, so it absorbed quickly and is not a problem mixing with my Dior Totale concentrate serum and Hydra-Life Pro-Youth Fluid with SPF (I hate when products don't mix and start rubbing off). I use BE powders and they apply evenly over this, no graininess. It sets in place and my face stays soft and smooth all day with no stickiness or blotches. Maybe this product works better for dryer skin types as it does feel more moisturizing.

I love MUFE, and this product was a pleasure to use, but it's too expensive to not be amazing. This was the first primer I ever purchased, but to make my makeup stay (and I mean really, really stay) I used Philosophy's The Present.
Pros: Smells amazing, feels amazing (like a light lotion rather than silicone) on the skin and moisturizes quite well. Comes in a hygienic pump bottle that lets you get at all the product inside.
Cons: Although makeup goes on better over the primer, it does no better at priming or extending wear than a moisturizing lotion. Expensive for a fancy moisturizing lotion!

The experience you gain with EY will last you a lifetime. In fact, whatever you go on to in the future, you'll be able to take the knowledge and insights you've gained with you.
We can offer much more than just technical training. There's the support you receive in developing business relationship skills. Working in high-performing teams, for instance, and collaborating with colleagues across borders, EY and you (EYU) is our career development framework, which is designed to provide you with the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to take ownership of your career.
Your development is the heart of our culture, but it centers on giving you the tools to progress in the direction you desire. We believe you'll do the best work you can when you have the freedom to map your own career path. And ultimately that means our clients will benefit too.
There are three key aspects to your development here: learning, experiences and coaching. Use these tabs to explore what each of them means.
There are two parts to our global learning curriculum. The first is designed to build your general business skills and acumen. The second is about constantly refreshing and enhancing your technical skills across our service lines so you can provide an improved service and form even better client relationships.
Aside from business skills, you'll learn much about building relationships and leading people too — and those abilities are every bit as important for your career. We have a reputation for creating outstanding leaders, who have the knowledge and ethical framework to deliver exceptional results.
We currently offer more than 16,000 courses on our learning management system. Much of the learning we offer is web-based and it can be tailored to suit both your practical needs and the direction your career is headed.
You'll also have a chance to participate in a number of milestone learning events to mark your progress, from Welcome to EY as a new joiner to the New Partner Programme.
We know that the most enriching and career-enhancing experiences are gained on the job, and we recognise this as a formal part of our career development framework. We do all we can to help you get the experiences you need.
With that in mind, our service lines plan assignments in ways that not only give our clients high-quality service, but also provide all our people with the best environment for their career development.
Client secondments, cross-border and cross-service-line placements, both short- and long-term, domestic and international, are a real possibility. This enables you to work in different environments, which offer exciting and challenging experiences through a wide variety of assignments.
It will help you develop an inclusive mindset and thrive in an increasingly global market while matching our clients' needs.
We also encourage you to use your professional skills to give back to the community. This will not only benefit others but will also add to your career and your life – enhancing your leadership, communication or project-management skills.
Coaching provides open, honest conversations between people at all levels throughout our organisation. This ranges from daily informal on-the-job discussions, through project feedback and periodic performance reviews.
We'll work with you closely in the early weeks and months. You'll have a counselor, who'll put time and effort into becoming an expert in you and your career development. They'll work with you to consider all the feedback you recieve and help you find the career path that will take you in the right direction.
You'll progress fast here because we provide our people with the highest quality feedback and support. We have increased our investment in formal couching and we also appoint coaching champions to create programmes and give feedback to leadership.
Our mentoring programme offers a chance for a combination of formal, structured conversations and less formal, ad-hock contact. And as your experience grows, you'll be able to pass your own knowledge on to new starters.
On-the-job coaching helps you gain a broader perspective, increase clarity and address particular issues and challenges.
This practical, ongoing learning will improve your performace and help you get things right, the first time. Working with a colleague who can couach you on a work-related issue will often help you gain deeper insight into your own performace. Its one of the best ways to gain practical knowledge that you'll use time and time again.
Performance conversations allow you and your counselor to look back and evaluate your performace by bringing together and considering multiple views. They're an excellent way to identify where to focus your development efforts - so your next assignment can help you to improve performance further.
In addition to performance reviews, career development conversations are also an important aspect of coaching at EY. These conversations should challenge you to explore your individual interests, aspirations, needs and options. They also create meaningful goals – both from an annual and a longer-term perspective.
Mentoring provides support, insights and practical advice on a variety of professional development and career topics. At EY, we encourage our experienced professionals to provide mentoring to less experienced colleagues, through initiative such as the career advisor programme.
EY refers to the global organization, and may refer to one or more, of the member firms of Ernst & Young Global Limited, each of which is a separate legal entity. Ernst & Young Global Limited, a UK company limited by guarantee, does not provide services to clients.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY--Eddie Gilsinan is in a tight situation. he lives in Whitney Pines
sub-dividion and works for Phillips Towing Service, a company that assists emergency crews in removing cars from crisis situations. When he's on-call, he brings his truck home. According to Whitney Pines homeowner's associtation guidelines, he can't park it there.
"It angers me, it really upsets me," Gilsinan says, "I feel that I pay for my mortgage and I should be able to do what I want with my property"
The guidelines state that commercial vehicles are not allowed to park there. Gilsinan faces a one hundred dollar fine per day if the truck stays. In an effort to have the rule changed, he took his situation to the streets--asking neighbors to sign a petition to change the rules.
"Out of the 21 neighbors that I spoke with, 20 of them signed it." Gilsinan says.
Alan Sundy lives across the street and signed the petition.
"I don't have a problem with it at all it's not an eyesore." Sundy says.
Even so, the association denied his request. HOA guidelines state 90% of the neighborhood has to agree to amend a rule, just for the board to even consider changing it.
A representative of the Whitney Pine's HOA issued this statement.
"Remember that these associations have been set up to help the
communities achieve their goals.
Often these goals include safety, security, protection of assets and
improvement of property values. these are goals worth working for."
Gilsinan Says he doesn't plan to follow the guideline.
"I'm going to keep on bringing my truck home," Gilsinan says, "This is my
livelihood, this is the career path I chose to go through and I'm not
going to change it just because a board has denied my request."
Gilsinan wants to warn people to read the fine print before joining a homeowners association.

The courage to question convention. The passion to break new ground. The insight to champion community. The imagination to pursue the undiscovered. The will to achieve greatness. The promise of a limitless future. The people to bring it to life. It's Happening Here. |
The University of Louisville has unveiled its 2008 branding campaign. Our university has a new look, and soon the Law School's publications — conventional and electronic — will incorporate an entirely new set of graphics, fonts, and design conventions.
These are the terms by which our university has announced its new brand and its new look:
Over the past decade UofL was driven by the momentum of our Challenge for Excellence strategic plan and "dare to be great" branding campaign. Now the time has come for an even more ambitious strategic plan and business plan. We're no longer daring to be great. We are great.
So we've unveiled a new look and a new tag line to go along with our new strategic plan. Both grew from the thoughts of people from every segment of campus and our broader communities who participated in one-on-one interviews, focus groups, workshops and meetings.
Their input was invaluable. They said UofL is a totally different university today than we were a decade ago and our brand should show that. They called us "rugged" and they encouraged — even expected — us to be bold.
"Everything that is happening at the best schools across the country also is happening here," they said. So we borrowed their words for our new tag line and to drive the energy of our new look.
"It's Happening Here" tells everyone we have arrived.
And since this is The Cardinal Lawyer, which aims to be the richest, most visually intense experience in the admittedly circumscribed world of official academic weblogs, this brief introduction to the University of Louisville's branding campaign would not be complete without a set of embedded videos:

Epidemiologic Perspectives & Innovations [Open Access]
Publisher: BioMed Central
Epidemiologic Perspectives & Innovations is an open access,
peer-reviewed, online journal of epidemiologic research methods,
applications, critical overviews, teaching tools, perspectives, and
other analytic work.
Epidemiology, is a critically important field in informing clinical,
policy, and individual health decisions. It is a young field,
experiencing major fundamental advances every year, however the high
social value of its results means the science is primarily devoted to
producing immediate results. Yet existing journals almost exclusively
publish reports of new epidemiologic study results, leaving few pages
available for other contributions to the science and its applications.
Such contributions, including policy applications of epidemiologic
findings, new methodology, critical overviews of the field, re-analyses
of previous findings, and methods for teaching and communicating,
require thoughtful, critical scholarly discussion.
Epidemiologic Perspectives & Innovations provides a forum for such
contributions - anything in or about epidemiology other than just
reporting new study findings. Of particular interest are articles about
policy, philosophy, and practices in the field, which do not relegate to
commentary or discussion, but are treated as analytic work.
Epidemiologic Perspectives & Innovations emphasizes articles that are
accessible and of interest to a broad range of health researchers,
teachers, practitioners, and policy makers, rather than those that
appeal primarily to a few specialists in a particular subfield.
Epidemiologic Perspectives & Innovations considers the following types
of articles:
* Analytic Perspectives - articles, which can be epidemiology-based
policy analysis, critical analyses of the field and its practices,
various contributions to methodology, philosophy, or other perspectives
on the field. These articles are not commentary or debate, and do not
fit in the format of a research article.
* Research - reports of data from original research.
* Commentaries - short, focused and opinionated articles on any
subject within the journal's scope. These articles are usually related
to a contemporary issue, such as recent research findings, and are often
written by opinion leaders invited by the Editorial Board.
* Software articles - descriptions of the source code for software
applications, tools or algorithm implementations. Typically, an archive
of the source code of the current version of the software should be
included with the submitted manuscript as a supplementary file.
* Database articles - descriptions of a new database or a
substantial improvement of an existing database (for example by an
expansion of data to broaden the range of users, or by a major increase
in functionality).

Brule River State Forest
Brule River State Forest. Photo by Coldsnap Photography
Anyone seeking to escape into the great outdoors can do so in Wisconsin's Brule River State Forest. This forest contains perhaps the finest trout stream in the state and is a favorite place for fishing, canoeing, kayaking and other outdoor adventures. The forest also supports a diversity of wildlife, from white-tail deer and black bear to roughly 200 bird species, including endangered and threatened varieties.
Historically, Brule River has welcomed explorers, adventurers, and even presidents. The Brule River (or Bois Brule River) was well-traveled by Native Americans and later by trappers, fur traders, voyagers and missionaries traveling between Lake Superior and the St. Croix and Mississippi rivers. President Coolidge made a Cedar Island estate his "summer White House" during the 1920s.
The Fund's Conservation Efforts
We helped conserve nearly 6,000 acres of working forestland by incorporating it into the Brule River State Forest. Conservation of this land safeguards important wildlife habitat and timberlands while also offering more opportunities for the public to hunt, canoe, camp, and fish.
Why did we work to expand this state forest? In the face of widespread forest loss, public and private partners are teaming up to preserve working forests across the Midwest—and across the country—in order to protect these lands for their recreational, ecological, and economic value. Drawing on our Great Lakes Revolving Loan Fund and funding from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, we purchased nearly 6,000 acres from Wausau Paper in 2006 and held it until the state of Wisconsin could secure funds to acquire the land. In 2007 we were able to work with Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and the state's Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to add this land to the state forest.
North Country National Scenic Trail
The property is also the official "portal" to the North Country National Scenic Trail, as it stretches from North Dakota to Vermont. Managed by the National Park Service, the North Country National Scenic Trail is the longest, and one of only eight, National Scenic Trails in the United States. In addition to forest land, Wausau's donation of a four-mile segment to the North Country National Scenic Trail—located west of the Brule property—adds significant value to this popular trail.

Architecturally influenced by the father of industrial design, Raymond Loewy, the Lenox Lounge was birthed in 1939. Its distinctive facade, graphic signage and comprehensive design are hallmark examples of one of the few original art deco structures left in New York City.
With semblance and revealing nostalgia, historians and Harlem bred heirs alike, explain that not only was the Lenox Lounge the place for good music, but it was one of the first establishments where people witnessed the reverence of a culture following the Harlem Renaissance. This is where Langston Hughes narrated "The Story of Jazz", Alex Haley interviewed Malcolm X for his biography, and where culture-shaping authors James Baldwin, Zora Neal Hurston, and Ralph Ellison became regulars.
Due to its historical attributes, many artists, directors, photographers, fashion houses, and corporations shoot their music videos, ad campaigns, movies and look books at the Lenox Lounge. Toyota, Alice & Olivia, Madonna, Mary J. Blige, Luther Vandross, Justin Timberlake, Quincy Jones, American Gangster production and star Denzel Washington, Janet Jackson, The New Yorker Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, Oprah Magazine, G-Unit Clothing Co. and many more have all had the pleasure of the Lenox Lounge experience.

OK I'm going to make my first ag beer but i don't know what id like to know if i can make any thing good with the stuff i have on hand(most of it is stuff i bought when i go into the home brew store one item at a time so my wife wouldn't notice lol) 5 lb muntons cara pils 2 row barley malt 2 lb flaked corn 2 lb muntons chocolat 2 Row barley malt 2 lb weyermann chocolate wheat malt I 1 lb lactose 4 lb dextrose 8 lb clover honey and several packs of safale us-56 yeast and a pack of coopers ale yeast
oh i forgot the hops 1 oz nugget pellets alpha 13.2 and 1 oz German perle alpha 7.0 these are the ingredients i have on hand can i make anything from them?your recipe suggestions will be much appreciated.
Hmmm, if you had some base malt (ie 2row Pale or similar) you'd be set, but as I see it I'm not sure what you could use as a foundation with your current list of ingredients. Do you have a local homebrew shop you can go to?
Cheers, Rich
Like the fellers said, you need some 2-row. It's the equivalent of your DME or LME in an extract batch. You could maybe make 5 gallons of mead with that honey.... Cheers
With a base malt, you're on your way to a honey brown... plus a 3 gallon mead!
A fool and his money are soon partying.
what do you mean by 2 row? every one of the ingredients listed above say 2 row on the bag except the flaked corn and lactose .i also have 3.3 pounds of hoped amber lme but i didn't want to use it since i don't know what kind of hops is in it and i wont be able to duplicate it later since it came in a kit a Friend gave me and i don't know where it came from but i can order any thing i need from morebeer.com any suggestions? thanks for the help
We mean plain old 2-row pale malt, the typical base malt used in ales. Specialty grains like you have listed aren't normally called 2-row, even if they are made from it.
cara-pils and chocolate aren't base malts. The 3.3 # LME could be a source of fermentables to that Honey Brown Ale.

ULBI > SEC Filings for ULBI > Form 8-K on 13-Feb-2014 | All Recent SEC Filings |
Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Financial Statements and Exhibits
NEWARK, N.Y. - February 13, 2014 -- Ultralife Corporation (NASDAQ:
ULBI) reported operating income from continuing operations of $0.2 million on
revenue of $20.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. For the fourth
quarter of 2012, the company reported operating income from continuing
operations of $2.4 million on revenue of $29.3 million.
Revenue was $20.2 million, compared to $29.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, a 31% decline. Battery & Energy Products sales were $15.9 million, compared to $18.8 million last year, a 16% decline, reflecting last year's fulfillment of a large order to an allied country's department of defense and the slowdown in the government and defense order rate for rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries. Communications Systems sales were $4.3 million, compared to $10.4 million for the same period last year, a decrease of $6.1 million. Prior year Communications Systems' sales benefited from the fulfillment of several large orders for amplifiers from international defense customers.
Gross profit was $5.6 million, or 27.7% of revenue, compared to $9.5 million, or 32.3% of revenue, for the same quarter a year ago, a decrease of 460 basis points, primarily attributable to a lower mix of Communication Systems sales. Battery & Energy Products' gross margin was 26.1%, compared to 27.0% last year, a 90 basis point decrease reflecting lower sales volume and a less favorable product mix. Communications Systems' gross margin was 33.5%, compared to 41.9% last year, a decrease of 840 basis points also reflecting the impact of lower sales volume on production and the product mix.
Operating expenses declined $1.7 million, or 24%, to $5.4 million, compared to $7.1 million a year ago, primarily due to reductions in general and administrative expense and continued focus on controlling discretionary spending. As a percent of revenue, operating expenses were 26.6%, compared to 24.3% a year ago.
Operating profit was $0.2 million, compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2012, reflecting lower gross profit offset by operating expense reductions. Operating margin was 1.1%, compared to 8.0% for the year-earlier period.
Net income from continuing operations was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.12 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2012.
For 2014, management expects mid-single digit organic revenue growth, despite continued constraints on global government spending. Based on this outlook for revenue growth and the improvements made to the business model in 2013, management expects to increase operating profit for the year and generate a mid-single digit operating margin.
Management cautions that the timing of orders and shipments may cause variability in quarterly results.

Bethaney looks faboulous she should be able to show off her pregnancy how ever she see's fit she's proud of it and excited for the arrival of her and Jason's son/daughter it's not like it was in the old days where you had to hide that like for example Joanne Woodward had to when she married Paul Newman 29th January 1958 not only did she have to hide that pregnancy but the subsequent miscarriage there of during their honeymoon six weeks before she won an Oscar granted when he got her pregnant that time he was still officially married to his first wife and waiting for their mexican divorce to be finalized but he and Joanne eventaully had three daughters Nell, Lissy, Clea plus of course his son and two daughters from his first marriage Scott Susan & Stephanie
[IMG]http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j47/siunavez/paul_joanne2-4.jpg[/IMG] here's a picture from their wedding granted she wasn't as preggo as bethaney is as if she had lost it that late it would've been considered a stillbirth rather than a miscarriage as a miscarriage only happens up until about 5 months along and during their wedding she's about 4 months deppending on conception date which has never been revealed other than to say it was on the set of the movie Long Hot Summer and she's also shorter than Bethaney is as Joanne was on 5'4" when fully grown unless she was wearing heals

Why not? It's perfectly appropriate to wear a bikini at the beach, pregnant or not. She looks great!

She looks amazing!! If I looked like that at 7 months I would have been showing off my belly too. As long as she's comfortable she should be able to show off her baby bump.

I think she looks great, why can't she wear a bikini or show her belly if she wants to? she's not hurting anyone

Good intentions
Before I could qualify for my helicopter private pilot license in the Robinson R-22, I had to watch an R-22 fall out of the sky. It was part of Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR 73) training.
The training also involved viewing a video of the wreckage close-up. In it, I could plainly see a pair of woman's legs, in fashionable pumps, crossed comfortably at the knee. I could not see the rest of her. Her body was lost, crushed beneath the collapsed wreckage of the engine, transmission and main rotor mast.
Heavy metal chaos balanced atop the eerie serenity of that woman's crossed legs. The pilot had been flying with his first passenger — his wife. [Read more…]

The Longview News-Journal — Catholic and Protestant ministers alike Friday were hailing the news Pope John Paul II would be made a saint of the Roman Catholic Church.
Pope Francis approved sainthood for the Polish-born pontiff, who died eight years ago. He also decided to waive Vatican rules to canonize Pope John XXIII, who led the church during a five-year period of reorganization, until 1963.
"What most people recognized about Pope John Paul II, whether or not they are Catholic, is that his life and teachings never contradicted each other," said the Rev. Xavier Pappu, pastor of St. Matthew's Catholic Church in Longview. "He worked very hard to spread God's messages throughout the world."
The Rev. Roy James, senior pastor of First United Methodist Church in Longview, agreed John Paul's life followed his teachings.
"The most powerful image for me of him has always been when he went to the jail cell of the man who had shot him and they prayed together," James said. "He was obviously a major presence in Christianity."

PsychoDrama celebrates 3 years this coming March 2015! Time flies when you're having fun, and it's such an awesome feeling that we're celebrating our 3rd year - reviewing Japanese movies and drama shows, announcing casting news, doing actor's bias articles and hitlist. Watch out for some special/exclusive articles and interviews soon! Really like to thank those who commented, liked, shared, tweeted and reacted to our articles, many of whom are already friends! Hoping we can stay online for another 30 years or more! That's quite an ambitious target but who knows?
GODZILLA is the King of Monsters. For a second, I thought the statement could use a little more thud to convince the new generation - especially the young and modern-day disciples of video game consoles who get the creeps at the mention of Pyramid Head of Silent Hill 2 or Slashers of Dead Space – that this fella who is bestowed with such royal reputation can wreak havoc beyond words and make the baddest of video game monsters look like scared kittens.
I don't blame the PS2s and the Xboxes for brainwashing their minions with necromorphs and gut-chewing ghouls who, last I heard, are now having a tough time scaring their fandom despite the ever-generous serving of computer graphic effects cooked up by their dear software makers. And besides, movies about this king of beasts no longer sell as much as they did a decade or so ago when the Internet was not yet stacked with a deluge of dizzying information.
If there are people today who scour the web for the latest buzz or even just to relive the memory of Godzilla, these are perhaps the ones who where there when the King was born and changed the entire movie landscape (well, at least in the giant monster division) as well as the lives of those who stood as witness to this character's uncanny greatness.
For everything, there is a season. Godzilla is way past his prime being the Muhammad Ali or Michael Jordan of his era. It's now Justine Bieber's time. And yes, Lady Gaga. Can you imagine what the reaction of these celebrities' fans would be like if Godzilla had the same number of YouTube views as them as we speak? For sure, there would be hostility and divisiveness among pro-Gaga and pro-Godzilla crusaders.
Imagine this:
Pro-Gaga: "Our views are being threatened by this mammoth has-been. Lady Gaga, please wear some more meat-clothes and expose more flesh to boost our views!"
Pro-Godzilla: "It's all about the bare essentials guys -- about substance, meaning and form. This is just half the threat. If there was YouTube during Godzilla's prime, his views would have been a trillion by now!"
But nope, Godzilla is too old for this s*it. Social video networks must be the least of his concern today. I wonder what's keeping the big fella busy since his last curtain call. Hibernating in the deep waters of the Atlantic and avoiding the urge to munch on subway trains? Or, maybe getting in touch again with the top honchos at Toho Co. Ltd for a 2013 movie comeback? The dude's acting may be rusty but he can still deliver, I guess.
Times change and so do people's perceptions and emotions. That's inevitable. That is understandable. Show kids today a clip of the first Godzilla and tell them how much you enjoyed the movie as a kid and chances are they'd think it sucks big time – ("would have been freaking awesome to see Stealth bombers and Raptors dropping bombs, or a hundred unmanned drones firing nuclear cruise missiles to his head", goes their bubble thought)...
It's hard to make the millennials appreciate movies in black and white, especially with the advent of the LCD tv and 3D (the Godzilla of '98 elicited some "oohs" and "aahs" from the boys, though, and that to me is a good start.)
Godzilla: 50 Years of Destruction
However, it's harder to grab their imagination and tell them, for instance, that Godzilla can spit out Atomic fire from his mouth (okay boys, this is the part where the Stealth bombers, Raptors and the drones are dropping like flies), split a whole city block in half in a single stomp, and melt his foes with laser beams from his eyes (arsenal the King didn't use in his last silver screen appearance). "The Avengers can beat this monster!" goes the reaction of my 7-year old nephew.
They can't relate. They can only compare and, worse – call you a dork. But, thanks to online videos and my old VCD tapes, I'm able to show them (by force and bribery) what Godzilla looks like and how he kicks ass during his heyday. It's not my intention to spark a debate (although I'm sure my monster could easily scare the Avengers away in one single roar) because I already know what the outcome would be like. You can never win in a debate against a seven-year old who knows his heroes like his own pet doggie. Trust me.
There are so many other things I want to share with my nephew. I want to tell him that the 160-foot, 20 thousand-ton behemoth who was conceived from an atomic weapons test gone haywire was actually as cuddly and sweet as a panda and that the T-Rex-looking juggernaut can whoop the Hulk's ass anytime he wants.
Me (hopeful, anxious for some positive reaction): "Awesome, huh?"
Nephew (lifting right eyebrow, shrugging shoulders): "Whatever...."

Dobbino, I think Johnno`s been immense in tandem with Tettey. True, Pilks was particularly poor vs Reading and his crossing has been disappointing. Perhaps time to try Snods on the left & little Benno on the right? We miss the class of Fox`s passing, but the Tettey\Johnson pairing gives us so much extra muscle power. Also hard to see where Surs fits in just now, classy but a little "light"? Can he fulfil the Wessi role? Then there`s Howson. Clearly Lambo`s vision of the team structure was different from Hoots`. Midfielders need to show a bit more attacking intent\flair if the sole striker formation is to work. Who will it be....

Very nice product and arrived immediately after I ordered it. It only came with one size of screws to install into wood. I had to purchase screws to install into sheet rock. I am using them in the bathroom as towel hooks.

Facebook twins amass a Bitcoin fortune
PUBLISHED: 12 Apr 2013 09:00:00 | UPDATED: 14 Apr 2013 19:18:49PUBLISHED: 12 Apr 2013 PRINT EDITION: 12 Apr 2013The Winkelvoss twins, Cameron (left) and Tyler (right) have amassed one of the world's largest single fortunes in the Bitcoin virtual currency, whose value has gyrated wildly in recent days. Photo: Fairfax
NYTimes Dealbook
The Bitcoin currency was originally created by computer programmers. Photo: Fairfax
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss have been many things in a short time: Olympic rowers. Nemeses of Mark Zuckerberg. Characters on The Simpsons. Now they can add a new label: bitcoin moguls.
The 31-year-old identical twins have amassed since last summer what appears to be one of the single largest portfolios of the online currency that has caused such a stir in financial and technology circles.
An array of speculators have now bid up the price of the bitcoin to the point where the outstanding supply of the digital money was worth $US1.3 billion at last count. The Winklevii — as they are popularly known — say they own nearly 1 per cent of that, or some $US11 million.
The decision by the brothers to go public with their position signals a new stage for what has been an experimental alternative to national currencies. Created in 2009 by a programmer or programmers known only by a pseudonym, the bitcoin world has been dominated by anonymous programmers and traders.
Now mainstream investments in the digital money are starting to emerge. On Thursday, a group of venture capitalists, including Andreessen Horowitz, announced that they were funding a bitcoin-related company, OpenCoin.
Dutch tulips future?
Other Silicon Valley venture firms, while not holding bitcoins, are starting to show interest in the technology. Tim Draper of the firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson put money into CoinLab, which is doing bitcoin-related projects. Tribeca Venture Partners announced this week that it was putting money into Coinsetter, a start-up trading platform for the currency.
Bitcoin is the new new thing but the question is whether it will end up in the same dustbin as Dutch tulips and Pets.com, or, as its backers believe, turn into a disruptive technology with the potential to revolutionize the global payments system.
The perils have been obvious over the last two days, as bitcoin has gone through its most volatile stretch ever, sinking from a high of $US260 a bitcoin to a low of $US105, before ending Wednesday around $US175. On Thursday it was down again to $US120 when one of the major online exchanges called a 12-hour halt on trading. The volatility has raised questions about whether bitcoin can even be called a currency.
"It's not something I'd want to be involved in or have any investors' money involved with," said Steve Hanke, a professor specializing in alternative currencies at Johns Hopkins University. "To say highly speculative would be the understatement of the century."
But the 6-foot-5 Winklevii were unfazed by the latest tumult. Indeed, the brothers said they used the low prices to buy more. They argue that bitcoin will have much further to soar once a broader audience sees its virtues: a unit of exchange that can be moved around the world at the click of a button without requiring any payments to Western Union or American Express.
"People say it's a Ponzi scheme, it's a bubble," said Cameron Winklevoss. "People really don't want to take it seriously. At some point that narrative will shift to 'virtual currencies are here to stay.' We're in the early days."
Other champions of bitcoin also believe that it could mark a new chapter in the history of money.

"Three eras of currency," Chris Dixon, a partner at Andreesen Horowitz and well-known technology investor, recently wrote on a personal Web site. "Commodity based, e.g., gold; politically based, e.g., dollar; and math based, e.g., bitcoin."
For those whose idea of money still involves greenbacks and metal coins, bitcoins do not exist in any explicit physical form. The creators wrote algorithms that allow only a finite number of bitcoins to be created — the count is currently around 11 million — with new coins "mined" by programmers who solve mathematical riddles.
The coins can then be bought and sold through upstart exchanges, and held in what are known as virtual wallets.
So far, few real companies accept bitcoins as payment, and the primary place they can be used is an online bazaar, known as Silk Road, where narcotics are the main wares for sale. But the currency's believers see a future in which Starbucks and Amazon take bitcoins. For their part, the Winklevoss twins have used some of their bitcoin to pay for the services of a Ukrainian computer programmer who has worked on the site of their venture capital firm.
While bitcoin has amassed a cult following since its beginnings, it has set off a frenzy in recent weeks as the price spiked to $US260 per bitcoin early Wednesday after trading at $US35 at the beginning of March. Some of the credit for this surge is given to the banking crisis in Cyprus, which raised some questions about the viability of the euro currency.
"We have elected to put our money and faith in a mathematical framework that is free of politics and human error," Tyler Winklevoss said.
Bitcoin is far from the first bet the brothers have made on an emerging technology. As students at Harvard College, the twins founded a social networking site, ConnectU, and enlisted their schoolmate, Mark Zuckerberg, to help them build the company. After Mr. Zuckerberg went off to start Facebook, the brothers sued him, accusing him of stealing their idea — a story that was dramatized in the movie "The Social Network." The case was settled with the brothers being given $US20 million in cash and Facebook shares that are now worth over $US200 million.
They have parlayed that fortune into Winklevoss Capital. Their first two investments were in Hukkster, a start-up shopping Web site and SumZero, an online community for professional money managers.
'Growing pains'
The brothers began dabbling in bitcoin last summer when the dollar value of a single coin was still in the single digits. In addition to the purchase of bitcoins, they also say they have invested in a bitcoin-related company, but declined to disclose which one. The currency itself exists as a string of letters and numbers. In order to keep their holdings secure from hackers, they have taken those codes off networked computers and saved them on small flash drives. They said they have put the drives in safe deposit boxes at banks in three different cities.
It's hard to verify how the Winklevoss holdings compare with other bitcoin players given the anonymity of accounts, and the twins believe that some early users of the system probably have holdings that are at least as large.
A Maltese company, Exante, started a hedge fund that the company says has bought up about 82,000 bitcoins — or about $US10 million as of Thursday — with money from wealthy investors. A founder of the fund, Anatoli Knyazev, said his main concern is hackers and government regulators, who have so far mostly left the currency alone.
These investments were all in an uncertain state on Thursday after the big price swings and the shutdown of trading on Mt. Gox, a Japan-based company that claims to handle 80 per cent of all bitcoin trades. Mt. Gox said in a statement that the problems were a result of the currency's popularity, making it impossible to process all the incoming orders. It added that it was not the victim of hackers but "instead victim of our own success!"
The Winklevoss brothers said that this week's chaotic trading are only "growing pains" like those seen by other young technologies, and not enough to scare them away.
"It has been four years and it has yet to be discredited as a viable alternative to fiat currency," said Tyler Winklevoss. "We could be totally wrong, but we are curious to see this play out a lot more."

Hey Guys,
Name is Youven from Cape Town, South Africa. I drive a 2004 Ford Mondeo MK3 2,0 Trend, not sure what model this is for you guys up there! It's running the Duratech HE motor, same as the Fezz ST but with different software.
I belong to a local ST Owners club here, though it's more social than anything else! We even have a Toyota and an Uno Turbo driver joining us! The Mondeo is extremely rare over here, especially the ST220, so I'm quite chuffed to have one of the best kept secrets in SA in my driveway. We didn't get the new Mondeo MK4 as the MK3 sold so slowly, but hopefully the MK5 will make it here.
This forum looks good, looks like I'll enjoy myself here.

Reader: If ICE raids Tom Tancredo-Gustavo Arellano debate, Tancredo might get deported
We're busy preparing for tomorrow's debate between Tom Tancredo and "Ask a Mexican" columnist Gustavo Arellano -- and so are many readers requesting tickets. (Click on the link above for more info.) One, however, worries that Immigration and Customs Enforcement might attend the event, too -- and if so, a certain former congressman and presidential candidate should be concerned...

High-speed data links between buildings or one part of a plant to another have become more common with the widespread use of smart transmitters and the increase in unmanned installations. Our surge protection devices are suitable for all process I/O applications with a choice of low resistance units, high bandwidth, and a variety of voltage variants.
The adjustable DIN mount feature allows for fast, convenient installation within any industrial control panel.
Protecting a facility with this parallel line is an excellent first line of defense in limiting high impulse transients to a level that is acceptable to most electronic equipment. These high-energy surge protection products are placed in parallel with panels that are susceptible to both externally and internally generated transients. Our wide range of products offers specific surge protection levels, voltage/phase configurations, and any mode protection requirement at any panel within your facility.
The plug-in construction makes these products ideal for easily protecting sensitive home or office equipment within harsh environments, including TVs, home theaters, satellite dishes, computers, printers, copiers, and fax machines.
Installing surge protection products at the electrical service entrance is an obvious place to start when needing power protection. However, in most cases, it's not enough. Installing protection at distribution, branch panel boards, and specific sensitive loads or (Point of Use) equipment throughout your facility is the best way to prevent damage and eliminate associated downtime to sensitive microprocessor-based electronics.
A series of full-line high quality transient voltage surge protection devices especially designed to protect sensitive rack-mounted electronics. These compact units provide reliable protection from a broad range of power problems while typically using only 1U of rack space.
Transmitters and sensors are widely used in highly exposed areas, where lightning damage is common. Emerson Network Power's Signal Line products guard sensitive instrumentation against what we refer to as "back-door" transients.
Associated surge protection products for typical and non-typical applications or installations.
Telecommunication lines are widely used in highly exposed areas, or in long runs between buildings. Left unprotected at the primary and secondary, the conductors used in telecommunication applications are highly susceptible to transient impulses. Our telecom surge protection products are suitable for primary, secondary, and security applications.
Introducing an expanded product offering to the 400 Series (460, 440, 430, 425, 420), ideally suited for a facility's branch panels and outdoor equipment
It empowers you. It fulfills your need to test, manage loads, optimize the bus bar, remotely monitor and otherwise be aware of the status of your facility's utility source and on-site power.

Title: | The Right Carrot for an Unruly Jungle |
Authors: | Baharlou, Kusha School of Economics |
Keywords: | Leniency Applied Game Theory |
Issue Date: | 7-Dec-2011 |
Abstract: | This thesis examines the U.S. Department of Justice leniency program setup involving both corporate and individual leniency. Specifically, the interaction between corporate and individual leniency programs in concurrent operation, the design of optimal leniency program structure to elicit corporate leniency applications and the behaviour of economic agents subject to such programs comprise the primary directions of this thesis. In addressing corporate malfeasance under the option to apply for leniency, the intra-firm interplay of agents is modeled as a dynamic game of incomplete information. The principle findings are that if agents are symmetric in their access to leniency the concurrent operation of corporate and individual leniency programs is suboptimal as the presence of the individual leniency program detracts from corporate leniency applications due to a reallocation of incentives to report. On the other hand, under asymmetric access it is in fact optimal to utilise both leniency programs concurrently as there is no distortion in incentives to report but rather a threat effect in motion. Agent access to these leniency programs is imperative in determining the success of the combinatory policy structure. |

Thomas Haughey has been named president and Paul Campanelli has been appointed chief operating officer at Par Pharmaceutical Cos.
Supplier News Breaks Archives
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. – Thomas Haughey has been named president and Paul Campanelli has been appointed chief operating officer at Par Pharmaceutical Cos.
The company said Tuesday that the promotions are effective immediate and that Haughey and Campanelli will continue to report to Patrick LePore, who will remain chairman and chief executive officer.
Haughey has served as chief administrative officer since 2008, Executive Vice President since 2006, and general counsel and secretary since joining Par in 2003. The company noted that he brings over 25 years of accounting, legal and pharmaceutical experience to his new role as President.
In addition to his title as COO, Campanelli will retain the title of president of Par Pharmaceutical, the company's generics division, plus assume responsibility for Strativa Pharmaceuticals, the branded division. He started his career at Par in 2001 as senior director of business development and has held positions of increasing responsibility.
"With the acquisition of Anchen and the pending acquisition of Edict, Par is becoming a larger and more complex organization with three diverse locations and more than 300 additional employees. These new challenges and opportunities require a president and a chief operating officer to effectively manage the company and its subsidiaries," LePore said in a statement. "Tom and Paul have been instrumental in Par's many successes to date, and these expanded titles are a better reflection of their current responsibilities and achievements."

Great Colorado Payback: It could be your $$$
Posted By Lynn Bartels On April 17, 2010 @ 8:14 am In Colorado Politics,News Media | 2 Comments
A few years back two people e-mailed me to say they had seen my name in a newspaper ad about the state treasurer's list of unclaimed property.
Thanks, I wrote back, but it won't be me. There's a Lynn Bartels in Pagosa Springs. It's probably her.
But out of curiosity I went to state Treasurer Cary Kennedy [2]'s website and logged onto the Great Colorado Payback [3] – the program that holds unclaimed money and property.
The Lynn Bartels who was on Kennedy's list was from Highlands Ranch. I used to live in Highlands Ranch. The property involved a check from National Public Radio. I've appeared on the show.
It turns NPR had paid me $100 for being on the show (did you hear that KOA?!), and had mailed the check but I didn't get it. But Kennedy reunited me with the money.
This Sunday Kennedy's office will publish almost 80,000 new names – the owners of more than $50 million in lost and forgotten property who were added this past year to a database that now contains over 1.5 million names. The Denver Post had a story about it that appeared today that you can read by clicking here [4].
In a news release, Kennedy said this year's list includes six people with property worth over $100,000 and one family with property worth over $500,000.
"We are the only unclaimed property program in the nation to be featured by 'Antiques Roadshow,'" she said. "That's just another example of the efforts we are making to let people know we're holding their property and want to return it."
To search for your name in the Great Colorado Payback [5] database, please visit www.greatcopayback.com [3]or call 303-866-6070 or toll-free at 1-800-825-2111.
