More reviews by cutie_patootie
This is my all time favorite foundation. It covers really well, is not too drying and not too greasy. Beautiful stuff.
Update, turns out this contains ethylhexyl palmitate, which is heavily comedogenic

I was looking for a moderate coverage foundation for my oily skin and the salesgirl talked me into this. I cannot believe I bought it. It is awful. Without fail it sits on top of my skin and looks as ugly as can be. It has no staying power at all.
I've literally had this in my MU stash for almost 2 years and never used it because applying it with the sponge made it go on too heavy and almost greasy. Last week I just happened to read a review of this product where she applied it using MAC's 187 stipple brush ( holy-grail-must-have-brush) and decided to dig it out and try it again.
This is now one of my favorite foundations. Using the skunk brush allows this product to go on lightly and even, giving a flawless full coverage look, but very natural and non greasy. Bobbi Brown's foundation colors are spot on for me because I have a yellow undertone. I use the 6.5 warm almond along with MAC NC45 concealer underneath my eyes and I absolutely love the look. Thank God I came across the reviews for this product as I highly doubt I would have given it a second chance.
It's also easy to score this on ebay for a lot less than the $40 bucks retail.

I have been using this product for awhile, and I must say I am impressed on how natural it looks on the skin. The color blends really well (I use Beige #3) I have acne-prone, combination, asian skin. I was hesitant in buying it at first because I was afraid it will be quite drying, but I found out that if u use the bobby brown make up base to go along with it, it doesn't dry out the skin ( without it- for me the texture is drying on my skin). It doesn't clog pores and has pretty good staying power. It's better to use it with the brush because it falls so naturally and doesn't exhaust as much product compared with using the sponge that comes with the package. The only downside is that it's very pricey, nevertheless the product is quite practical and the coverage is very lovely so I will probably repurchase :)

I love how the foundation matches my skin tone perfectly (I'm a Beige #3). I found that brush application works best for this one (I generally don't use sponges anyway). I spray a little mixing medium (1 glycerin: 3 water) on a stippling brush, pat the brush on the foundation, and lightly stipple the foundation onto my face. I finish it off with powder to make it last all day.
Great coverage, lasts all day, didn't clog my pores.

I haven't been wearing this too long so my review my be updated or changed. So far so good though. I like this product! I was very upset when I heard the news that Px would be going out of business so I began searching for a new foundation. It's important to me to have something that is oil free, matches my skin tone, medium/full coverage, stays fresh looking all day, and won't break me out. So far this makeup meets all of those needs. At first it seemed a bit yellow to me... but once I blend it and apply powder afterwards it looks great. I hope I can continue to use this stuff. I'd recommend it.

This is a really great product if you want medium to high coverage. It's very buildable and provides a nice even coverage. It's easy to blend and apply. I reccomend using a foundation brush instead of the sponge it comes with, but you can keep the sponge and dap it all over your face (with no product on it) for a more matte finish. It's a little cakey and I feel like my face couldn't breathe under it, but it didn't make me break out. It lasted a good while, but it doesn't last very well through heat or sweat so I recommend that you skip out on this in the summer. Overall, good product, but pricey, look for a dupe. I'm interested too! :D

It's okay. I use it more as a concealer- undereye areas, forehead, nostrils, around the mouth and under the chin, plus any blemishes. I used to use it as an all-over foundation, but wow was it greasy. After 3-4 hours my face would look like an oil slick- and I usually have dry skin! So I only put this on as a concealer, set with powder, and am good to go. Oh, and I used to use a brush- just forget about brushes or sponges. Use your fingers. Blends MUCH better that way. Looks more natural and doesn't cake so easily. Also, use sparingly! Just dab and blend. I might buy this again, I'm not sure right now. It works well for me as a concealer.

I am such a Bobbi fan. I really really wanted to love this product. I hated it. I bought it when it first came out and just hated it. Fast forward a few years to this past winter of 2009 and I thought, what the heck, I must have been wrong, I'll try it again. I used it twice and was so disappointed I just threw it in the trash. It's very heavy, full coverage. My skin is in good shape for what it is. I can apply any foundation without any texture problems. Not this foundation. It shows every single tiny flaw that you have. After about 30 minutes, my face itched like crazy. And my skins natural oils (of which there are a lot) separate this and make it look heavier and more of a masque than when you first put it on. Don't bother. Usually I just leave it for people to decide for themselves, but really, don't bother. I wish Bobbi had more foundation options for oily skin.

This is great stuff. It covers amazingly well, does not itch, washes off easy. I love it so much. I have been using Benefit Some Kinda Gorgeous which is pretty good, but itches and doesn't wash off or cover as well. This does it all.
++ One thing that concerns me for people with oily skin trying this, the SA said she thought it had Shea Butter (??) in it. I haven't researched it, cuz I am old enough it doesn't really matter, no grease. But for younger users, I would ask what moisturizer is in this. Or what makes it creamy.
My skin requires more moisturizer after wearing this, but my skin looks great!!
****Update, eventually my skin was just to dry and annoyed. The other compact foundation was too heavy. I moved on to the Luminous Foundation and my skin is much happier.
I still love the coverage of this compact, it was so easy to use and covered great, just not the right one.

This platter has wonderful deep chocolate brown transfers. Around the ledged rim white floral designs on the brown background really pop. The cream center has a large tree with branches of leaves and flowers. A banner with geometric designs is weaved through the branches along with other wispy stems with flowers. This platter has a recessed well in the middle which may have been used for a large tureen to sit or to gather meat or fish juices. IT IS RARE TO FIND VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE IRONSTONE IN "LIKE NEW" CONDITION BECAUSE OF WEAR FROM USE AND AGE. TINY GLAZE FLAKES AND CRAZING IS NORMAL AND ADDS CHARACTER TO EACH PIECE.

AvonProtection NH15 EscapeHood |
Most ambulances lack SCBA that would allow their crews to escape from toxic atmospheres. With increasing terrorism awareness, EMS should now be prepared to save itself and evacuate an area in the event of a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) event. The new NH15 Escape Hood from Avon Protection is a CBRN escape hood that's certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. It provides respiratory, eye and face protection for up to 15 minutes, which allows sufficient time to evacuate most contaminated areas. Use of the hood requires minimal training. And it deploys in approximately 30 seconds, thanks to the innovative self-adjusting harness system. VITALS NIOSH approval: TC-14G-0302 Shelf life: Five years Price: $189 www.avon-protection.com 888/AVON-440 |
FoxFury Nomad 3600 LED Area/Spot Light |
EMS calls happen in the darndest locations. So how do you light the scene of the backwoods plane crash or any remote scene during an extended power failure? The Nomad 3600 LED Area/Spot Light from FoxFury is lightweight enough to be carried to the most remote locations and can be deployed in 20 seconds. First, you unlock and lower the legs of its tripod. Then extend the light and set the intensity level to 1,200, 2,400 or 3,600 lumens, which will then provide you with run times of nine, six and two-and-a-half hours, respectively, without generators, cords, noise or fumes. VITALS Weight: 17 lbs. Dimensions (closed): 33" long, 4.6" in diameter Max height: 94" Price: $1,199.99 www.foxfury.com 760/945-4231 |
Laffy Laffalot |
Sick kids often have a hard time finding something to laugh about, but laughter is contagious. Now children and health-care providers alike can benefit from preprogrammed laughter with Laffy Laffalot. The device features 20 preprogrammed, high-quality MP3 laugh sounds that range from babies giggling to a classroom full of raucous kids. You can also increase the pitch of the laughter to add a "helium" effect. Parents or friends can record up to four additional sounds for playback. And for your peace of mind, headphones are included. This novel device helps you stop the tears and bring on the smiles. VITALS Color: Orange Power: 2 AA batteries Laughs: 20 Price: $19.99 www.laffylaffalot.com 888/995-2339 |
Laerdal SimMan Essential |
Wireless Manikin Improves Realism Simulation has always been a part of EMS. Not many people would volunteer to break a leg to practice splinting, so we must simulate. But as technology has progressed, so has the fidelity of manikins. The new SimMan Essential from Laerdal takes the most widely used features of SimMan 3G and presents them in a more affordable package. A 12" tablet PC is used to operate SimMan Essential wirelessly, so you don't need to be connected to the manikin. This allows scenarios to take place in the field and continue through the hospital emergency department to the operating room or intensive care unit. Another feature is a webcam, which enables you to review the participants' actions during a debriefing. Other key components include blinking eyes, manually changeable pupils, an IV arm (right arm), intraosseous access sites (tibia and sternum), multiple pulse points (carotid, femoral, radial, dorsalis pedis, posterior tibialis pulses and brachialis) synchronized with ECG, pulse strength variable with BP and the ability for an instructor to wirelessly simulate the patient's voice and the ability to insert a Foley catheter. VITALS Height: 5'9" Weight: 88 lbs. Price: $39,000 www.laerdal.com 877/LAERDAL |
LMA North America The LMA Supreme Plus |
Because the difficult airway has a high potential for poor patient outcome and expose crews to legal liability, the better the options, the greater the likelihood for a good outcome. The LMA Supreme Plus from LMA North America offers a number of features that will be of interest to EMS providers. The addition of a drainage port to allow for suction of gastric contents will reduce the chances of aspiration and pneumonia. The elliptical shape and integrated bite block facilitate proper placement and prevent kinking. There's also a fixation tab to help maintain proper tube depth. VITALS Sizes: 3, 4 and 5 Price: $30 www.lmana.com 800/788-7999 |
Tech Trade ProTech8X Rescue Glove |
Wearing structural firefighting gloves during extrication scenarios provides a high degree of protection, but it can lead to hand fatigue if the extrication is long and you're working in a bulky glove. The new Pro-Tech 8X Rescue Glove from Tech Trade provides dexterity, comfort and protection without the bulk of a structural firefighting glove. Its features include a waterproof, suede or leather palm; waterproof, nylon back; 100% Kevlar lining; and a unique, multi-layered knuckle-guard system. The non-slip cut resists silicon reinforcements. The glove also has a breathable polymer barrier to protect against bloodborne pathogens and moisture. VITALS Sizes: S, M, L, XL Color: Black Price: $35 www.techtradellc.com 866/491-TECH |
Although men and women often battle over who's the better multi-tasker, EMS providers win the war because we get the critically ill patient down three flights of steps while keeping them on oxygen, an ECG monitor and bringing their medications, glasses, teeth and slippers. No problem. So it's no wonder we love tools that multi task. The new TK3 from WANTYNU is one of those because it's multi-functional. It features a key chain that can break windows and open oxygen bottles on duty—and beverage bottles when off duty—which can be a lifesaver. Because of hardened steel in the window punch, the TK3 is not MRI safe. But it does come in a variety of colors to coordinate with any wardrobe. VITALS Colors: Black, blue, red, yellow, hot pink and chrome Length: 3 3/8" Weight: 1 oz. Price: $12.99 www.wantynu.com |
Book Review |
Cowboy in the City By Lisa Carney Lisa Carney has captured and expressed, quite sincerely, what it's like to have a career in EMS. Once I started to read her novel, it was as if I were sitting in the ambulance right along side of her—and what a ride! It's refreshing to read a novel about EMS that has no boundaries. I feel Carney has validated all the hard-working folks who chose a career in EMS. Being a career paramedic for the past 20 years, I was able to relate to all those simple and complex issues that EMS providers share from coast to coast. The author has a great sense of humor, which was evidenced by the hilarious antics she described between her and her co-workers. I thoroughly enjoyed her writing style as well. It's raw and gets to the core of every emotion. She has a keen sense of how to captivate her readers. I was completely entertained from page to page. I can only believe that the civilian who reads Cowboy in the City will come out with a much deeper understanding of EMS and show more respect to all who serve tirelessly in this profession. And, as the author hopes for, they'll pull over to the right when they see the flashing red lights in their rear view mirrors. If you asked the typical provider to describe what it's like to work in the EMS field, this book is exactly what I'd imagine most people would say. So I'm glad the author took the time to write down her experiences—and you will be too. JEMS —Nicolette DeFrank |

For his part, Flint has been working with his receivers to develop his timing.
"In a way, it's better [being the quarterback] because I know what the receivers are going to do," said Flint.
Besides having a new quarterback, BH-BL has to fill in the holes on its offensive and defensive lines following the graduation of seniors Zachary Morton and Johnathan Acors. Fortunately for the Spartans, there are several players ready to step up led by returning senior Jake Batty.
"We have to replace two defensive ends, which is a pretty big replacement," said Shell. "But the good news is we have half of our line back."
BH-BL begins its season next Friday when it travels to Lansingburgh for a non-divisional game. The Spartans' first home game is Sept. 10 against Averill Park.""

Speaking at a White House news conference, Obama also defended the country's financial sector, which has taken the brunt of protesters' criticism, focusing on Wall Street and its regulators' purported role in expanding economic disparities. "We have to have a strong, effective financial sector in order for us to grow," the president said.Still, Obama discussed a need to pursue action aimed at improving government oversight and blamed Republican lawmakers for obstructing financial reforms. Friday marked the 21st day of the grass-roots Wall Street protests.Demonstrations have erupted in more than a dozen cities throughout the week, ranging from thousands who marched in lower Manhattan Wednesday after receiving support from local unions, to the dozens of college students who staged walkouts at various college campuses. Open Story: See iReports from the protests.The movement started in New York and some of the protests there have been marred by scuffles with police.New York authorities set up at least one vehicle checkpoint as police appeared in larger numbers throughout the financial district Thursday and established a perimeter around Zuccotti Park, which is considered a rallying point for the largely leaderless movement in that city."We hope that our message continues to resonate with everyone who has felt disenfranchised by the current state of our country," said Tyler Combelic, a spokesman for the Occupy Wall Street group.He said they plan to "continue the protest until the message reaches every house in the United States." The specifics of that message remains largely unclear. More from politicsElection 2016: Jeb Bush makes his first Iowa forayIran's hardliners skeptical of nuclear talksPowered by Livefyre

General Information | Eligibility | The Application | Budget | Application Review | Timing | After Notification
How can I find out when new guidelines are released?
NEA Research: Art Works guidelines are modified every year and generally released on or around July, with a deadline in October. Email firstname.lastname@example.com to sign up for our listserv to receive updates for when they are released. You can also sign up via Grants.gov.
Can I get help if something in the guidelines is unclear?
Yes -- we're here to help you. The Research: Art Works staff can explain and clarify eligibility requirements, review criteria, category definitions, and requirements related to application materials.
If you have questions about Research: Art Works, please email email@example.com
If you have a question about registering with or the mechanics of Grants.gov, contact Grants.gov directly at 1-800-518-4726, e-mail email@example.com, or consult the Customer Support material posted on their website.
What kinds of organizations may apply?
Official applicant organizations eligible to apply are nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3), U.S. organizations; units of state or local government; or federally recognized tribal communities or tribes; this includes universities and colleges. Applicants may be universities and colleges, research organizations, arts organizations, local arts agencies, arts service organizations, local education agencies (school districts), and other organizations that can help advance the goals of the Arts Endowment. In addition, the applicant organization must have at least three consecutive years of operating history prior to the application deadline to be eligible.
My organization does not have its own nonprofit status. Can we apply through a fiscal sponsor?
No. An ineligible organization (i.e., one without its own nonprofit status) may not use a fiscal sponsor for the purpose of application. The NEA stopped accepting applications from fiscal sponsors in 2005.
If I don't have my own nonprofit status and I can't use a fiscal sponsor, is there any way that I can still be a part of a grant?
While you may not apply for and receive a grant on your own, you may participate in a project submitted by another organization that is eligible.
If my organization provides fiscal sponsor services, may I apply?
An organization that serves as a fiscal sponsor may not apply for projects on behalf of the entities or individuals that it may sponsor as part of its mission and programs. However, it may apply for its own programs.
The Agency will review the organization's website and other materials to determine the appropriate nature of the project.
Why can't individuals apply?
Congress has prohibited the Arts Endowment from making direct grants to individuals except for Literature Fellowships. As an individual, you can participate in a project on behalf of an organization.
My organization has never received an Arts Endowment grant in the past. Should I consider applying?
Yes. New applicants are funded every year. Prior Arts Endowment support is not a review criterion. Eligible applications are evaluated on the basis of excellence and merit.
Are only large organizations in major metropolitan areas really competitive?
Absolutely not. The Arts Endowment recognizes that the significance of a project can be measured by excellence and inventiveness, not solely by budget size, institutional stature, or the numbers of people or areas that are reached. In fact, the profile of grants for past funding years shows a diverse range of organizational size and longevity. (See Recent Grants.) In addition, the Arts Endowment takes into consideration projects that can provide an unusual or especially valuable contribution because of geographic location or the potential to reach underserved populations.
How many applications can I submit?
An organization may submit multiple applications for different projects under the Research: Art Works program.
You may also apply to other Arts Endowment funding opportunities in addition to the Research: Art Works program, including Our Town, and Art Works OR Challenge America Fast-Track. In each case, the request must be for a distinctly different project.
May I include international personnel in my project?
Yes, as long as the costs related to their compensation are in compliance with regulations issued by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Asset Control (see http://www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/). If those costs are not in compliance, we can't fund them and they can't be included in your application budget.
Would it be possible for someone that is not employed by the official applicant organization to serve as the Principal Investigator/Project Director?
Yes; however, the official applicant organization is the legally binding agent for the application, and thus is agreeing to be responsible for the actions of the principal investigator/project director.
I am a state arts agency (SAA) or regional arts organization (RAO), and I am interested in applying for an application for a Research: Art Works grant. Can I apply?
No, SAAs and RAOs cannot apply for this opportunity as the authorizing organization.
I am a SAA or RAO, and I am interested in being a partner on an application for a Research: Art Works grant. Can I serve as a partner?
Yes, SAAs or RAOs may participate as a partner for this opportunity; however, no federal or matching funds can be given to or provided by the SAA or RAO.
Should I send my application package in the mail?
You must submit the first part of your application electronically through Grants.gov. After this submission, you must submit most of your application material and your work samples through the NEA GrantsOnline™ System (NEA-GO).
What can I do to make my project description better?
There are no magic words that you can use to describe your project and make sure you get a grant. Say clearly what you want to do, why you want to do it, and how you intend to do it. Check that you've addressed the information that is requested and review your narrative against the "Review Criteria," as that is what the reviewers will do. Try to make sure that there are no unanswered questions about your project.
What if I need more space than the limit listed for my application material?
When you submit narrative information on the Grant Application Form, you will be limited to the character limits specified.
If you submit PDF documents, submit only the number of pages allowed. Excess pages will be removed and will not be reviewed.
Do I need to include citation references in my proposal and if so, where do I put them?
Including references is not a requirement, but highly encouraged. References can be included in the project narrative of the Grant Application Form.
If I include citation references, what method of citation is preferred?
We do not currently have any requirements regarding the style of citation. Common citation formats include but are not limited to APA, AMA, Chicago, and MLA. Do not use footnoting in the text fields of the Grant Application Form, though this is acceptable for any PDF attachments.
Will you contact me if my application is missing anything?
No. Because of the volume of applications, we have a strict approach to incomplete applications. For your application to be considered complete, every item that is required MUST be included in your application package, which must be submitted no later than the application deadline date under which you are applying. Arts Endowment staff will not contact applicants to request missing material, and incomplete applications will be returned to you. Please don't let that happen. Use the "How to Prepare and Submit an Application" section for your category to make sure that you have included every item. Have the completeness and accuracy of your application package double-checked by a responsible staff member who understands the importance of this task. Allow at least six weeks to prepare your application and other supplementary information. And do not wait until the day of the deadline to submit!
If my application is determined to be incomplete, may I add the missing item(s) and resubmit the application?
No. The Arts Endowment staff has to check thousands of applications. By the time that an application is identified as incomplete, it will likely be several weeks after the application deadline. An organization cannot add missing items and resubmit the application after the application deadline. We encourage you to double-check your application package against the "How to Prepare and Submit an Application" section to make sure that nothing is missing.
For Research: Art Works, if new or updated information that significantly affects your application becomes available after the deadline, you may send it to the Research: Art Works staff at email@example.com
What are some of the most frequently missed items in the application package?
Remember that a complete application includes ALL of the items in the "How to Prepare and Submit an Application" section, not just the application forms.
Should I send in new or updated information before I'm notified whether I have received an award?
For Research: Art Works, you should submit new or updated material at any time if it significantly affects your application.
One of the proposed research staff is unable to complete the human subjects ethics training and thus cannot supply the required certificate of completion of the training. Is there an alternative to the requirement for this person that would allow him/her to continue as a researcher on the project without the certificate?
We require all researchers to demonstrate completion of a federally sponsored human ethics training course. If a particular researcher is unable to provide evidence of this training, then they cannot have a researcher role on a project, but may serve as a consultant.
If our project includes multiple partner organizations (including data collection sites), is some sort of statement of commitment required?
A statement of commitment is not required from all partner organizations for an application, though between one and three statements of supports are required for every application. The statements may demonstrate commitment from any combination of key individuals, organizations, or communities. Regardless of whom the statements of supports are from, if there are multiple sites, you will need to include that information in your proposal. And if IRB approval must be obtained for each of the sites, then you will need to demonstrate that you have made steps to obtain it.
What is the Assurance of Compliance?
All applicants and grantees of Arts Endowment funds are required to be in compliance with the laws and regulations that govern nondiscrimination in federally assisted programs. By signing the application form, the applicant certifies that it is in compliance with those statutes. Specific information on those statutes can be found on the website.
Can I get a sample application?
Yes. Please see the FOIA Reading Room, Frequently Requested Records for information on what is available as sample application material and how to request it.
How much should I ask for?
For Research: Art Works, grants generally range from $10,000 to $30,000. No grants will be made below $10,000. Take a look at the NEA's Recent Grants to gain some idea of grant award levels and corresponding project types and sizes. Be realistic about your request. Do not inflate your request "to give the Arts Endowment something to cut." Panelists review budgets carefully and are critical of overreaching or grantsmanship.
Remember, all grants must be matched at least dollar-for-dollar with nonfederal funds. For example, if you receive a $30,000 grant you must provide at least $30,000 toward the project from other sources and your total project costs must be at least $60,000.
What are some of the most common mistakes on the Project Budget form?
Make sure the items in your budget correspond with the project that you describe in your application. Review your Project Budget form against your narrative and look for any inconsistencies or budget items that don't relate to the narrative. Your Project Budget should reflect only those costs that you will incur during the "Period of Support" that you indicate on the Federal Domestic Assistance/Short Organizational Form (SF-424) form. Do not include any costs that you incur before or after those dates; they will be removed.
What are in-kind contributions?
In-kind contributions are goods and services that are donated to the project by individuals or organizations other than the applicant. In-kind contributions can be donated space, supplies, volunteer services, etc. To qualify as matching resources, these items also must be listed in the project budget as direct costs. The dollar value of these non-cash donations should be calculated at their verifiable fair-market value. There is no formula for how much of the required match can be in-kind.
Many applicants mistakenly designate as in-kind contributions items that are actually cash contributions. For example, applicants often list their own contributions to the project (such as supplies, rent, and staff salaries) as in-kind. Generally, these items are considered cash donations. They do not qualify as in-kind because they are being "contributed" by the applicant organization, and not a third party. For an applicant's staff salary on a project to qualify as in-kind, an employee would have to donate his or her time beyond the regularly compensated work schedule.
Remember, if you use donated space, supplies, and/or volunteer services (i.e., in-kind contributions) as part of your match, you need to maintain proper documentation. For help in doing this, see our sample format for recording in-kind (third party) contributions.
My staff includes students that are participating in the research activities as research assistants and are receiving course credit for their time. Can that be used as a match?
Yes, as long as it is included as part of the project under direct costs.
What are the regulations on in-kind costs?
See the "General Terms & Conditions."
What is an indirect cost rate, and do I need one?
In addition to the direct costs that may be assigned readily to a given project, there may be other costs that are not so easily designated because they benefit more than one project or activity. Such common or joint costs usually are referred to as indirect costs, or overhead. Examples of indirect costs might include rent, utilities, etc.
If your institution has a negotiated indirect cost rate with the Federal government it may use it. However, you do not need an indirect cost rate to apply for an award. Negotiating an indirect cost rate can be a lengthy process. An indirect cost rate proposals must be accompanied by considerable supporting financial detail, e.g., audited financial statements, schedules of salaries, listings of current grants, and an analysis of your organization's physical facilities by square footage before a final agreement is issued. Additional information can be found in the Indirect Cost Guide For NEA Grantees.
You may instead claim administrative costs or overhead as direct costs under "3. Other expenses" on the Project Budget form. (This assumes that there is a basis for justifying the costs as direct costs.)
Is there a cap for the indirect cost rate?
No. There is no cap on the indirect cost rate.
Can unrecovered indirect costs be used as a match?
Can other Federal funds be used as a match?
No. Matching contributions must come from non-Federal sources.
Can funds from State Arts Agencies be used as a match?
If your State Arts Agency identified their grant or part of the funds to your organization as a Federal NEA subgrant, you may NOT claim that award or portion as a match for an NEA grant. (You may not use Federal money, even if it comes to you indirectly, to match a NEA award). If your State Arts Agency did not identify NEA funds in their award to you, then you may use their grant to match an NEA grant if related to the approved project.
How will my application be evaluated? Congress specified in our authorizing legislation that "artistic excellence and artistic merit" are the criteria by which applications must be evaluated.
What do you mean by "artistic excellence and artistic merit"?
The artistic excellence of the project, which includes the:
- Clarity of the research plan, including the conceptual framework, research design, and analytical methods to be used, in addition to the relationship of these elements to the proposed research questions. This includes evidence that the research plan is informed by extant literature, as appropriate.
- Overall rigor of the research plan, including the conceptual framework, research design and analytical methods to be used.
- Qualifications of the project personnel, including ethics training as appropriate, and qualifications of the project organization(s).
The artistic merit of the project, which includes the:
- Potential of the project to achieve results consistent with the NEA outcome for Understanding: Evidence of the value and/or impact of the arts is expanded and promoted. This includes the potential to elevate the public profile of arts-related research by:
- Increasing the diversity of fields of expertise that contribute to arts-related research.
- Heightening the relevance and significance of arts-related research to policy and practice.
- Appropriateness of the proposed performance measurements and their ability to demonstrate that the NEA outcome was achieved.
- Plans for timely reporting and dissemination of the project results and products, including distribution strategies to make the research findings accessible to the public and other researchers. For projects that include the development, testing, and standardization of new arts-related interventions, programs, policies, practices, and tools, this includes the strategies for making the project results and methods scalable and easily used by organizations in the community and other researchers.
- Appropriateness of the data management plan, especially the potential for raw- and/or meta-data to be shared with other researchers and the public, as applicable.
- Appropriateness of the budget and resources for addressing the NEA outcome (see above).
Who will review my application?
Research: Art Works applications are reviewed by external advisory panels. Panels are convened by research and philanthropy fields, and often comprised of panelists who have some to extensive experience in arts-related research or arts philanthropy. These fields may include but are not limited to education, psychology, economics, sociology, communications, medicine and health. The composition of the panels changes every year.
After applications are reviewed by advisory panels, the panel recommendations are reconciled with available funds by the staff. These recommendations then go to the National Council on the Arts. After the Council meets, the Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts reviews the Council's recommendations and makes the final decision on all grant awards.
When will I be notified about my application?
In April, the following year after the close of the application deadline is the "Earliest Announcement of Grant Award or Rejection" date.
Note that "announcement" is likely to be an informal congratulatory message from the Director of Research and Analysis coupled with a request for any necessary project revisions, or a rejection notification. Official grant award notification, which is the only legal and valid confirmation of award, can take several months to reach you depending on a number of things, such as whether a revised budget is needed for your project, the number of awards to be processed, whether we have our appropriation from Congress, etc. You should not make any financial or legal commitments relating to the Arts Endowment's support until you receive the official notification that includes a grant letter signed by the Arts Endowment Chairman.
How soon after the "Earliest Beginning Date for Arts Endowment Period of Support" for my deadline does my project have to begin?
The Arts Endowment's support can start any time on or after that date.
Can my project start before this date?
No project activities for which you're requesting support can take place before this date. Plan your project so that it does not need an earlier starting date; or ask the Arts Endowment to assist a portion of your project that will take place after the "Earliest Beginning Date for Arts Endowment Period of Support." If project costs that are incurred before the "Earliest Beginning Date for Arts Endowment Period of Support" are included in your Project Budget, they will be removed.
How long can my project last? May I apply for another project during this period?
Research: Art Works generally allows a period of support of up to two years, and three years if the project includes primary data collection as a project activity. Ask for the amount of time that you think is necessary.
If you get close to the end of your grant period and think you need more time, you may request an extension, but approval is not guaranteed.
As long as it meets all other eligibility requirements, an organization may apply for another project (with totally different project costs) the following year even if an Arts Endowment-supported project is still underway. Note that if you do receive an extension on a previous year's project, it may affect your grant period for your new proposed project. Please email your requests to firstname.lastname@example.com, and include your grant number.
If my application is funded, what do I have to do? How soon can I get my money?
If you applied under Research: Art Works, you may be contacted first for revisions. Applicants whose grants are recommended at less than the amount that is requested may be asked to revise the project budget. Also, the Arts Endowment may choose to support only a particular portion(s) or cost(s) of the project that is described in the application.
Later, you will receive an official grant award notification with information about legal and reporting requirements and managing your award. Remember, official grant notification can take several months to reach you depending on a number of things, such as approval and processing of revisions, whether we have our appropriation from Congress, etc.
Instructions and forms for managing an award, including those for requesting grant funds and our General Terms & Conditions, can be found in the Manage Your Award section. After you properly complete and submit your request, the grant funds will be electronically transferred to your bank account, generally within 30 days of the receipt of your request.
If my application is rejected, can I find out why?
After notification, applicants who have questions may contact the Arts Endowment staff responsible for handling their application. Any applicant whose request has not been recommended may ask for an explanation of the basis for rejection. In such instances, the Arts Endowment must receive the request no later than 30 days after the official notification.

Each year, Steve Witzig anxiously awaits December, when the air is bitingly cold and the wind rips through Columbia. On icy winter weekends, Witzig gets out of bed and bundles himself in a thick sweater and his favorite pair of swim trunks. Witzig is going kayaking.
Witzig, an MU graduate student, started the MU Canoe and Kayak club, better known to members as MUCK, in 2001. The idea stemmed from the closure of the MU Wilderness Adventure Program, which had left more than a dozen canoes and kayaks sitting unused at the MU Student Recreation Center.
As a registered student organization, MUCK was able to gain possession of the boats as a donation, and additional boats were purchased through campus funding.
Witzig teaches clinics for paddlers
In the club's first organized year, Witzig received his American Canoe Association whitewater certification when he brought in a whitewater instructor trainer from Colorado for a five-day class. Now, as a certified whitewater instructor, Witzig and his more experienced partners teach clinics for paddlers of all levels — and in all seasons.
"It is an inherently dangerous sport, and myself and the club really push for all members to take one of our clinics or get some sort of training from a certified instructor," Witzig said. "The focus of the club is instruction. It's awesome to see the expression on someone's face when they do something that they couldn't do before and it's because of you."
Lake Fest will be held Saturday at Finger Lakes
This year, Witzig is excited about Lake Fest, which will be Saturday at Finger Lakes State Park north of Columbia. More than a dozen canoes and kayaks will be available to the MU community, and small group lessons for all levels will be offered throughout the day. People interested in the club can attend the event and get their feet wet.
"We want more undergraduates to get involved to lead trips and to get involved with pool classes," Witzig said.
As an avid kayaker, Witzig knows something that many of his MU peers don't: Columbia is a mini-Mecca for canoers and kayakers across the state. Witzig has gone so far as to map out nearly a half-dozen of Columbia's local creeks, charting their rapids, pools and obstacles so that future boaters can better understand the water.
"Steve has been very influential in reconnecting the canoe and kayak community," said Chris Kelly, a member of the Missouri Whitewater Association.
Now in its third organized year, MUCK has more than 40 active members. The club plans nearly a dozen activities and trips annually, all of which the MU community is invited to attend.
"If you enjoy the outdoors and you enjoy the sport, it's a great challenge," Kelly said.
Members score high in pool slalom
Nearly a dozen members of the club have made a name for themselves among the national whitewater community by pulling in high scores at pool slalom events sponsored by MUCK and the Missouri Whitewater Association.
Pool slalom takes place in the Hickman High School pool, where dozens of kayakers from Missouri and neighboring states compete for time on standardized courses. Event winners and times are posted on the USA Canoe and Kayak Web site. This winter's pool slalom event will be in January.
Brent Pfeiffer joined the club a year ago. Pfeiffer has been canoeing since his early teens, but he didn't get seriously involved in the sport until last year's fall clinic taught by Witzig. He has since attended a whitewater festival in North Carolina and has run huge rapids in Tennessee.
"I had had enough experience to paddle a larger river, so at the festival I bought my first boat, but the rule was that you had to take any new boat onto the river the first day," Pfeiffer said. "I had only been on two rivers in my whole life in a kayak. So that day, when I got my new boat, I took it down one of the East's premier whitewater rivers. The next day we did the Ocoee River in Tennessee, and it had the biggest whitewater I had ever seen. It was really scary, but really exciting. I've been hooked ever since."

This one gave me some angst when receipt showed Honda Odyssey 3.5L not my Honda application so I double-checked cross referenced order confirmation product number against packing slip product number and the application was good to go and matched up regardless of the Odyssey listing. Cable length just about too close for comfort, would be good to add an extra inch or two to this one.

As I sit here in my very comfortable home reading the The Mayflower Quarterly Diamond Jubilee Edition, published in celebration of the 75th anniversary of The Mayflower Quarterly, "the primary means of communication by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants"1, I again think about the treacherous and very dangerous journey our Pilgrim Ancestors experienced onboard the Mayflower during the fall months crossing the Atlantic Ocean and indeed, during the first winter when more than half of their number died.
With a deep desire to honor my Pilgrim Ancestors, I have filed nineteen (19) initial and supplemental applications which have been approved by the General Society; I have also joined The Pilgrim Henry Samson Kindred, the Delano Kindred, and The Pilgrim John Howland Society, all in an effort to pay tribute to their ideals, their stamina, and their willingness to be governed by a communal, mutual agreement outlined in the Mayflower Compact.
Again, from the Mayflower Quarterly Diamond Jubilee Edition, "The General Society was established in January 1897 by four State Societies (New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania)." 2
I promised I would advise you, dear readers, from time to time about the progress of bringing back some much-loved features of the GFA website. I must admit I have been extremely remiss in this area. Much of the problem is that I have taken on way too many projects at home, and in the community; mainly a demanding job that requires me to make a 42 mile one-way commute, and a board membership for the Palm Beach Phoenix Apple User Group. I also maintain an active membership in the local chapter of the Society for Technical Communications. Lastly, I'm a lifelong procrastinator; something that often goes hand-in-hand with depression and anxiety. I've got every excuse, good and bad (and finally some great medications!), that I 've used to put off this project or that. It's a matter of getting off my duff to get busy, as it were.
All of that said, I do really intend to do better in 2013. Here's what I have done in the past year, if only to prove to myself and to you that I've done something!
DNA testing is the latest tool in a genealogist's arsenal, and can be very effective in plugging pesky lineage gaps, and sometimes disproving presumed links, too.Recently, GFA member Helen Grinnell King (GFA#598) had a DNA test performed at the FamilyTreeDNA website, to see who she might be able to link up with. As it turns out, both my 2nd Cousin, GFA board member David L. Grinnell (GFA#95) and I independently had DNA testing done by the same company. The first results of this proved that David and I were indeed related, proving our lineage back to Robert Jason Grinnell Jr. (1854-1906), but I haven't yet pursued some other names submitted by individuals whose DNA markers matched ours.
We are looking for writers to add Grinnell-related content to our website as well as our excellent newsletter. Your fearless webmaster and newsletter editor cannot do it alone. Operating a website such as this requires content and lots of it. The demand for fresh content never ends, nor does our own.
We're looking for articles on Grinnell history, notable (in a big way or small) people of Grinnell ancestry, stories about businesses owned by Grinnells (especially if the Grinnell name is in the business name), and pretty much anything else you can think of that might have some relationship to Grinnells.
Here's a short video on the location of our 2013 GFA reunion: Glacier National Park! It goes into the origins of the park and the involvement of George Bird Grinnell, among others, in getting the park established.

Sturdy and Mobile Mamabear from Akron, OH– Verified Buyer Bought this for use at our church and it looks nice is holding up well after over a year. We move this all over the building and up and down on the elevator with no problem. Assembly took some time and space, but wasn't difficult if you follow instructions carefully. Price was reasonable compared to others. |
Cant beat the price! Anna from Tucson, AZ– Verified Buyer My husband was happily surprised to hear what I paid for this on Wayfair. It's at least 12 of what a comparable cart goes for. I'm using it mainly in one classroom but can roll it out to the main space in our school for larger presentations. The stability is great, it rolls easily, the laptop shelf works well, and the included extension cord is handy. There was a ding on the bottom shelf, but I never see it since I have some binder storage bins on it. |
FLAT PANEL TV Cart Review vernon from edmonton, AB– Verified Buyer It is an excellent unit, sporting a TV at our church, and being used regularly. It was a good purchase. |
Solid rolling cart Gerald from Spring, TX– Verified Buyer There is one ding in my recommendation, but I still give the cart a 5-star. The ding is the bolt tightener for the bolts that fasten the vertical pipes for the TV. The bolts are security torx style that have a center pin. The tightener is an L-shaped "wrench" for that purpose, but it is hard to hold in place while tightening the bolts. Surely VTI can come up with something better than this. However, overall, the cart is solidly made, fits together very tight, and rolls very easy. |
Great Cart Staten Island Pastor from Staten Island NY– Verified Buyer This cart is exactly as advertised. It beautifully and safely secures a 40" flat screen TV. The side shelf works well for the computer when you are displaying a PPT. |
Great Product! Lawrence Sotomayor from Hacienda Heights, CA– Verified Buyer This product came out to be exactly what I was looking for. It's very strong and it holds my 42" TV perfectly. Plus it was easy to assemble which I did myself. I'm very happy with this purchase and I was very impressed with how fast it was delivered to my front door. This is a great product and a fantastic company. Thanks so much. |
Great cart! Lee from Andover, MN– Verified Buyer Well built, sturdy, great cart. Just starting using so can't say much about durability but so far seems great. Assembly moderate. |
Quality TV Cart :-) Nan Chorpash from Los Angeles, CA– Verified Buyer OOOPS….this stand was labeled wrong for assembly, but easy enough to tell the difference ('X' and 'O' were miss-marked on pieces) |
Buy it. You'll like it! Pastor P. from Aldie, Virginia– Verified Buyer The product has been extremely useful! It is very professional looking and really adds to the video presentations at our church. We like the look of it and it is very practical and inexpensive. However, the tray for the laptop could be bigger for those who like to use a mouse. All and all a great product! We are very pleased!!! |
Works BUT!!!!! lostjuly from San Marino, CA– Verified Buyer The idea is great, BUT! and it is a GREAT BIG BUT! The problem is that it does not take into account that different brand TV have different mounting holes. I had to pay someone to adapt this cart's mounting, and even then, it will only work with 2 tiny screws. I am keeping my fingers crossed that my TV will not fall as the cart does get moved from classroom to classroom. |
Flat Panel TV Cart is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: FPC4418E

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. (6.0) 3272 This story starts off with a lot of set-up and for me that was a tad frustrating (which is why I only give it 4 stars). I knew that the story would take off once the action started happening, and it did. I love the characters, Clara, Lizzie Rose, and Parsefall. Each one has their own story and they are told beautifully throughout the main story of the kidnapping. It's a great story about being true to yourself and not getting stuck on your worries from the past. Very good book for both boys and girls - I would say from grades 5 and up. I really enjoyed this Victorian gothic novel about two orphans, a villainous puppetmaster, a little girl who is turned into a puppet, and an ultimately goodhearted witch. It has a reasonably good plot that unfolds slowly but relentlessly, great characters, and overall good writing that combine together into an excellent book. (I listened to the audiobook which had excellent narration by Davina Porter.) I can see why this won a Newbery honor, since it's extremely well written, but I have trouble imagining many actual middle schoolers reading this for pleasure. It's very Dickensian in nature; we see life for the poor, and life for the wealthy, with a truly despicable villain. The dash of magic is hugely important to the plot of course, but I read it mostly to be about class issues. The narrator, Davina Porter, was absolutely perfect and added to my enjoyment of the novel greatly—I'm not sure I'd have been able to get through it if I hadn't listened to it. no reviews | add a review

Latest Mathematical singularity Stories
2008-06-03 11:11:47
It often turns out there is more to commonplace everyday events than meets the eye. The folding of paper, or fall of water droplets from a tap, are two such events, both of which involve the creation of singularities requiring sophisticated mathematical techniques to describe, analyse and predict. On the positive side, there is much in common between many such singular events across the whole range of scales, from microscopic interactions to the very formation of the universe itself during...

Perley G. Nutting
Citizenship | U S A |
Fields | Physics |
Institutions | Eastman Kodak Company Westinghouse United States Geological Survey |
Alma mater | Stanford University Cornell University |
Known for | Optical Society of America |
Perley Gilman Nutting (1873–1949) was the founder of the Optical Society of America (OSA) and served as its first president from 1916-1917.[1] OSA is now known as the Optical Society.
A graduate of Stanford University and Cornell University, Nutting joined the U.S. Bureau of Standards as a physicist in 1903.[2] It is claimed that in 1904, Nutting constructed one of the earliest, if not the first, neon sign, which was displayed at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition; however, this story has been disputed.[3]
In 1910, Nutting joined the staff of Eastman Kodak Company and was the author of the 1912 book Outlines of Applied Optics, which called for an increased level of academic study in the applied optics field.[4] In 1915, Nutting convened a series of meetings among Rochester, New York–based physicists that resulted in the founding of the OSA in January 1916.[3]
Nutting moved from Kodak to Westinghouse in 1917. In 1924 he returned to government work, moving to the United States Geological Survey where he remained until his retirement in 1943.[3]
Nutting's son, Perley G. Nutting Jr., was the tireless grad student known as observer PGN for the demonstration of the MacAdam ellipse.[5]

HONOLULU (AP) — Tourism officials said Hawaii welcomed fewer visitors for the fourth consecutive month in December.
The Hawaii Tourism Authority said Thursday more than 720,000 travelers came to the islands during the month. That's 1.9 percent less than the same month the previous year.
Spending by visitors also declined for the fourth month in a row.
The agency said airline fuel surcharges and less favorable currency exchange rates slowed bookings and hampered growth.
Even so, the number of visitors to the islands hit a record 8.2 million for the full year. This exceeds the previous record of 8 million marked in 2012.
