The all-new Volvo XC90 Across the Midlands & South West
First SUV without compromises The XC90 is firm evidence of the Volvo-by-Volvo strategy. Its outstanding combination of luxury, space, versatility, efficiency and safety will bring the SUV segment into a new dimension, just as the original XC90 achieved in 2002. Unrivalled combination of power and fuel efficiency The new XC90 offers a range of two-litre, four-cylinder Drive-E powertrains, all of which provide an outstanding combination of performance and fuel-efficiency. The top of the range XC90 Twin Engine, which combines a two-litre, four-cylinder supercharged and turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor, offers an unrivalled combination of power and clean operation: around 400 horsepower with carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of around 60 g/km (NEDC driving cycle). Most comprehensive standard safety package The all-new XC90 offers the most comprehensive and technologically sophisticated standard safety package available in the automotive industry. It includes two world first safety technologies: a run-off road protection package and auto brake at intersection capability. In a run-off road scenario, the all-new Volvo XC90 detects what is happening and the front safety belts are tightened to keep the occupants in position. To help prevent spine injuries, energy-absorbing functionality between the seat and seat frame cushions the vertical forces that can arise when the car encounters a hard landing in the terrain. The XC90 is the first car in the world with technology that features automatic braking if the driver turns in front of an oncoming car. This is a common scenario at busy city crossings as well as on highways, where the speed limits are higher. City Safety becomes the umbrella name for all of Volvo Cars' auto brake functions, which are standard equipment in the all-new XC90. It now covers vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians in front of the car, day and night. Luxurious interior The XC90's interior is the most luxurious to have been designed for a Volvo. The most striking feature is a tablet-like touch screen control console, which forms the heart of an all-new in-car control system. This system is virtually button free and represents an entirely new way for drivers to control their car and access a range of Internet-based products and services. It also helps create an interior that is modern, spacious and uncluttered. The new XC90 interior combines materials such as soft leather and wood with handcrafted details, including a gear lever made of crystal glass from Orrefors, the famous Swedish glassmaker, and diamond-cut controls for the start/stop button and volume control. Craftsmanship has been in sharp focus during the whole development work. The genuine seven seater features new, innovatively designed seats that also free up interior space for passengers both in the second and third seat rows. The third row offers class-leading comfort for two passengers up to 170 cm tall. One of the top audio systems in the world The XC90 features one of the top audio systems available in the automotive world after Volvo Cars audio experts joined forces with their counterparts at the renowned British audio equipment company Bowers & Wilkins. The top-of-the-line system in the XC90 features a 1,400 Watt Class D amplifier and 19 Bowers & Wilkins speakers. It also includes one of the first air-ventilated subwoofers in a car. Integrated into the car body, it turns the whole interior space into a giant subwoofer. The latest sound processing software has been used to manage the timing of the sound and co-ordination of the speakers. This brings the emotional experience of a world-class live performance into the car. |

Hello all,
I just bought a slightly used F800ST and have attended a couple of the recent pretty fun rallies, so thought I'd sign up. Not much riding going on here in Minnesota this time of year, though.
Hello all,
I just bought a slightly used F800ST and have attended a couple of the recent pretty fun rallies, so thought I'd sign up. Not much riding going on here in Minnesota this time of year, though.
Welcome to the club, you made the right decision on the bike, enjoy
Welcome to the Club. Not much riding, but there should be some. As long as the roads are safe. Black ice is nasty. Round here, we also have to deal with lots of cinders. But it won't be too long before you can go ridin'. And I'm sure you will have some fun then.
What part of MN are you located? I'm going to be passing through your state on my way to Alaska in 2012. What two-lane roads do you recommend in your area.
'09 BMW 1200 GSA, 2013 BMW 700GS, 2000 Goldwing SE, '09' V Star 950, '09 Honda Rebel,
'77 Honda 750A. Holding at six til I get new garage built - need more room for more bikes!
Welcome. Nice bike the 800ST! Good to have you!
Welcome - kinda cold to ride in negative temps with ice everywhere - eh!
Glad to have you here. Hope to read some ride reports from you once the weather has cleared. Are you going to the Rally in Redmond? Hope to meet you on the road.
Ride Well
Ride Often
Ride to Eat
Ride Well
Thanks, all. Re two-lane roads, there are plenty of nice ones, just keep away from the Minneapolis/St Paul area (unless of course you are visiting here - it's where I live), where we have freeways and plenty of traffic. SE Minn has some nice hilly terrain, otherwise you need to choose between flat farmland (more southerly) or forest and lakes (more northerly). Any of the state highways are pretty good. Sort of depends on where you're coming from and where you're going from here....
Welcome. Looks like some of your wintery weather arrived here this weekend. We actually have snow here today. Anyway, welcome to the group. Ride safe.
To ride or not to ride; No question about it!

Okra Fritters
There's no need for a dipping sauce with these crunchy little fritters. Just sprinkle them with coarse salt and they're ready to be devoured.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, September 2010
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 2 cups frozen sliced okra, thawed and coarsely chopped
- 1/2 small yellow onion, diced small (1/2 cup)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
In a large, heavy skillet, heat oil over medium. In a medium bowl, combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add okra and onion and toss to coat. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and buttermilk. Add to okra mixture and stir just until combined.
In two batches, drop batter in 2-tablespoonful mounds into oil. With a small spatula or butter knife, gently flatten each mound and fry until golden, about 4 minutes per side, flipping once (adjust heat if browning too quickly). Drain on paper towels. Season with salt and serve warm. Makes about 10.

These are amazing and easy, a nice compromise between fried okra and time restraints. I served them with yogurt dill sauce, but they could be seasoned with anything- curry, Colonel Carson's Carolina Cajun Gourmet Seasoning, dill, you name it. I'm going to try freezing them-

text: Hello to everyone! I had a problem with the 'make check' command for the second stage of binutils install. The command presented something like: ./test-demangle < ../../../binutils-2.14/libiberty/testsuite/demangle-expected ./test-demangle: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by ./test-demangle) make[3]: *** [check-cplus-dem] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/packages/binutils-build/libiberty/testsuite' make[2]: *** [check-subdir] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/packages/binutils-build/libiberty' make[1]: *** [check-libiberty] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/packages/binutils-build' make: *** [check] Error 2 And in a previous message from the LFS Support mailing list, I confirmed what I was suspecting: the second line should be pointing to /tools/lib/libc.so.6 instead of /lib/libc.so.6 What I did was a re-installation of Glibc and it worked just fine. But, I think that making just the part under the title of "Locking in Glibc" would be enough. What this menas was that the files was linking to the libraries on the host system instead of the fresh installed ones. If somebody have an error like this one, try first to do the "Locking in Glibc", because if this is it, you will save a lot of time. goodbye and, please, forgive my bad english! -- Darío Bravo

PERU - The Peru varsity wrestling team enjoyed the home cooking, scoring a team victory in its annual Peru Wrestling Tournament held Jan. 14 and Jan. 15.
"Its a nice one before we go to Eastern States," coach Mike Hogan said about the tournament. "The boys love wrestling at home in our tournament. It's the main day of the season for Peru wrestling."
Kyler Agoney (22-2 record) scored the first individual victory in the finals for the Indians, with a 3-2 decision over Saranac's Codie Gillette (12-7) at 103.
Three-time defending state champion Arik Robinson (21-2) then scored a pin 48 second into his match at 112, followed by a 5-4 decision victory by Alex Pugh (16-3) at 119, who scored a two-point reversal early in the third period and then rode out two reversal attempts by Massena's Isaiah Perry to earn the win.
In the battle of the Goddeau's, Peru's Jacob improved to 20-4 on the season scoring a 7-3 decision against Saranac's Trevor at 125. Patrick "Pappy" Hogan (24-1) then scored a pin at the 3:03 mark of his match against Saranac's Michael Phillips (8-7).
"Its nice to have a home tourney in the middle of the season before the schedule gets really hard," said Hogan.
In the 140 final, Saranac's Ryan Guynup (10-2) scored his 100th career victory with a 10-2 major decision.
"It's a milestone for me," Guynup said. "It's not the big goal of going for a state championship, but it's a step in the right direction. It lets me know the direction I'm heading in and a tournament like this is a good challenge that helps tighten up my game."
"He has been working really hard to get to this point," said Saranac coach Heath Smith. "He's a four-year starter with 30-plus wins in the last two seasons and heading there this year. It was a good tournament for guys like him to get a challenge and for our younger guys to get experience."

City of Knoxville, Tennessee
Madeline Rogero, Mayor
Chancellor Releases Hotel Ruling
Martin Opinion [PDF]
October 20, 2008
- Chancellor Daryl R. Fansler has ruled that the Development Agreement between the City of Knoxville and Metropolitan Plaza for the construction of a mixed-use development containing a boutique hotel at the former Tennessee Supreme Court site does not violate the city ordinance dealing with a convention center hotel.
In the case "Emanuel Martin v. City of Knoxville," the Court found that no public funds or financial resources of the City of Knoxville will be used for the development.
In addition the Court found that "to apply this ordinance to a mixed use development that might incidentally be of some benefit to the convention center unduly expands the coverage of the ordinance beyond the intent expressed in the poorly worded ordinance."
A pdf of the opinion is available at

Does anyone think that we will have some late enrolls like last season, depend on who all makes it to campus... Based on losing Hubert and Mattison possibly going JUCO I think we need a LBer and some speed on the edge for the pass rush.... What does everyone else think????
When DON'T we need more speed for an outside pass rush? Dead last in the Big XII. Defensive linemen avoid Ames like Calista Flockhart avoids cheeseburgers.
Thanks to Kagavi for the awesome avatar!

Dutch Elm Disease
Ophiostoma ulmi Dutch Elm Disease (Ophiostoma ulmi) is a fungal pathogen of Elms especially the American Elm . It is a native of the Orient and was first detected in Ohio in 1930. Streaking below the bark and flagging, or wilting and yellowing of the leaves on a branch of the tree, are common symptoms of the disease which has decimated over half of the American Elms in this country.

Rating: 4
"The Winter Wonderland" by these four authors: Fern Michael, Leslie Meier,
Holly Chamberlain & Kristana McMorris were four novellas with the theme
around the U.S. Christmas Holidays.
First Novella: "Winter Wonderland" by Fern Michael is where two people meet
to try to revitalize themselves and their careers at a ski resort in Colorado.
Second Novella: 'The Joy of Christmas' by Holly Chamberlain's...What will
happen when Ms. Chamberlain brings these two lovers back together again?
Third Novella: 'The Christmas Thief' by Leslie Meier where "The sponsor's jewels have gone missing and the police are asking about Elizabeth Stone's ties to a cute mystery guest."
Fourth Novella: 'The Christmas Collector' by Kristina McMorris is when "Estate liquidator Jenna Matthews isn't one for Christmas nostalgia. But when one grandmother's keepsakes suggest a secret life, unwrapping the mystery leads Jenna and her client's handsome grandson to the true heart of the holiday spirit"...
Here are four well written short novellas for the holiday. Each story had some particular meaning just for the reader...whether it was to cheer you on... giving you that good feeling all over but we should remember that this isn't just for the holidays but anytime of the year.

The first and third stories in this book were fairly good. On the other hand had for a Christmas book I found the second story very depressing. All in all it was a good read.

Not a lot of substance in the first two stories, really quite simple. The last story was the best, I actually wanted to know how it ended, the second story dragged on to the point where I toyed with not finishing it.
good books I keep or share with a friend, this on I left on a waiting room table for someone else with nothing but time to kill.

"Romance, Revelations and Remembrance "
In "Winter Wonderland",we meet off-Broadway actress, Angelica Shepard, who is discouraged about her career. She is feeling old and confused. She decides to take some time off & get away from N.Y.C. She decides on "Maximum Glide", a posh ski resort in Telluride, Colorado. Dr. Parker North, Trauma Surgeon at a Denver Hospital is going through the battle of his life trying to save a little girl's life—and loses. Despondent over the senseless accident , he takes a leave of absence & contacts his college buddy,Max Jorgenson. A series of events bring Angelica and Parker together. She finds him attractive,abrupt & nasty, while Parker didn't miss Angelica's beauty, but getting involved is the last thing on his mind. Fate has brought them together,will love keep them together? In "The Joy of Christmas" by Holly Chambelin, we meet jewelry designer, Iris Karr, who is a recluse & a workaholic. She has been running away from a painful part of her past-that is until ex-fiancé' Ben Treach moves to Portland. The death of her Mother, & the cancellation of her wedding come back to slap her. She is sure that the relationship's demise is all her fault. Iris can't deny the attraction to Ben after a 3 yr. absence. How could she ever tell Ben the reason she broke off their engagement & moved away? Wouldn't he hate her? She opens up to her friends, Bess & Alec. Perhaps Iris has to come to some revelations about her inner self? Lucy Stone's youngest daughter, Elizabeth in Leslie Meier's "The Christmas Thief", has moved to Florida & is working at the posh Cavendish Palm Beach Hotel. Other than a managerial reprimand & homesickness, her new life was going smoothly-until it is announced that wealthy Jonah Gruber has chosen the hotel as the site for an extravaganza called the "Blingle Bells Ball". Elizabeth has been temporarily assigned to the Concierge position & Asst. to party planner, Layla Fine. The Ball is also scheduled to show off "The Imperial Parure"—a stunning set of ruby & emerald jewelry that Gruber bought for his wife for 47 mil. To complicate her life further, Elizabeth meets handsome Chris Kennedy & is immediately attracted, but when he hardly acknowledges her after a few dates, she thinks she was deluding herself concerning his interest. Hurt, she puts Chris on the back burner & concentrates on the of chores that Layla has created for her. Finally the evening of the ball arrives, & when the case of jewels is taken from the safe, it's found to be empty! An accusatory finger is pointed at Elizabeth, but did she really steal them? Elizabeth gets some unexpected help to try to prove her innocence. In Kristina McMorris's "The Christmas Collector", Estate cataloger Jenna Matthews' life is extremely complicated & stressful. It is difficult enough going through people's possessions, life, & memories, but dealing with her Mom's ever-increasing collection was more than she could bear. "Things" would never replace her Father (who had left his family for a younger woman), no matter how cute the chotchkes were! When she rescues a box of photos before they ended up in the trash, she discovers two surprises, a hunky Porter Grandson and some secrets even the Porter Family didn't know that end up helping Jenna with her life's work as well as the relationship with her Mother & give some deserving individuals their long overdue accolades.

Fern Michaels and three other authors of note have created "A Winter Wonderland" which is comprised of four novellas centered around the Christmas holidays in the United States. The first piece, 'A Winter Wonderland' is by Fern Michaels and tells of two people, aging actress Angelica Shepard and overworked Doctor Parker North, who meet by accident at a ski resort in Colorado where they have both gone to revitalize themselves and their careers. Holly Chamberlain's 'The Joy of Christmas' tells the romantic story of gifted artist Iris Karr who escapes to Portland, Maine, to forget her mother's December death and deathbed promise. Iris also wants to leave behind the memories of her fiance of several years ago, Ben Tresch. And who should arrive in Portland to assume a new position, but Ben? Will author Holly Chamberlain bring these lovers back together or will they go their separate ways? The third story, Leslie Meier's Florida-based 'The Christmas Thief' and Kristina McMorris's 'The Christmas Collector' will delight readers who need holiday enchantment or just a good holiday read for those few spare, precious moments.
"A Winter Wonderland" has four short novels that will entertain readers everywhere especially in a year that has served up a need for seriousness and prayers with the horrific shootings in Newtown, Connecticut. Fern Michaels and her three fellow writers have written stories whose characters and plot lines are excellent and totally believable. "A Winter Wonderland" will make a great stocking stuffer for just about any reader anywhere.

Two people at crossroads each spending their Christmas holiday at a ski resort hoping to make a final decision as to which direction their life should take. When they accidentally run into each other sparks fly – and not the type you'd imagine.
Review: I usually LOVE these Fern Michaels Christmas novellas. I wait all year for them. This one, though, fell short for me. It was fun and sweet but the ending was to abrupt and not as definitive as is typical.

The Joy of Christmas
It's almost been three years since Iris's life was shattered on Christmas morning. Iris's refusal to acknowledge her mother's deathbed wish has caused her to become only a shell of the daughter she'd once been. Unable to deal with the guilt of what she'd done, Iris left — she left her family and the man she was to marry. Can she once again find the Joy of Christmas?
Review: This book took forever to read! While it was a good book it was just too emotional and lacking in Christmas feeling for me to love it.

Jenna in the best at her job. She grew up with a borderline hoarder and knows just where to draw the line — she collects nothing — and her job as an estate salesperson is perfect for her. She refuses to see the sentimental value in anything – until a shoebox full of secrets upends Jenna's otherwise orderly life.
Review: I loved it! The hardest part of reading this book is that I couldn't hug Jenna or Estelle. This kept me up, as I couldn't put it down until it was finished… and then they were still on my mind.

*A Winter Wonderland*
I found it to be a nice story, which I liked, but a little different from what I expected. The description of the story did happen, it just wasn't the way Angelica, an off-off Broadway actress, and Parker North, a trauma surgeon, actually met. To me it seemed as if part of the story was missing. It goes from Angelica not wanting to have anything to do with Parker, to them complicating how they were going to make their relationship work with her being in New York and him in Colorado. I felt that the story seemed to be rushed to get to the end, I wish that it could have been longer.
*The Joy of Christmas*
I wish I was able to connect to Iris' character but I found it hard to do. I do feel really sorry for her because she loved her mother so much and her mother died on Christmas Eve. She comes off as being hateful and resentful at times. She tends to say mean and ill-spirited things and then immediately knows she shouldn't have said those things.
Bonnie, Iris' mother was sick most of Iris' entire life. Bonnie would get better and then have another relapse. Bonnie made a dying request of Iris about a month before she passed away. Iris refused to grant her mother her dying wish, thinking it would keep her alive. Shortly after her mother's death, Iris turned her back on anyone and anything which reminded her of her mother and any semblance of happiness.
With the help of her surrogate mother, Bess, her good friend, Alec, and her mother's spirit, Iris is finally able to come to grips with the past and put it behind her for a better and brighter future.
*The Christmas Thief *
Since I had never heard of Leslie Meier before reading this book, I was surprised to find a Christmas mystery in this anthology. If you are a fan of Ms. Meier, then you already know the name Lucy Stone. The Christmas Thief is a short story about Lucy's daughter, Elizabeth.
I loved that the book kept me guessing up until the very end. If you are new to reading Leslie Meier, like I am, this is a good book to get you started on. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.
*The Christmas Collector*
This is another one of those books that could have taken place anytime of the year. The message behind the story has nothing to do with Christmas, the holiday spirit, good will towards man, blah, blah, blah. The Christmas Collector is more about realizing there isn't anything wrong with a person having possessions that they hold dear and cherish. It's a story about being proud of your past and the accomplishments you've made; even when those accomplishments at one point in time are frowned upon. This is a story of lost love and being able to realize that you shouldn't conform to the way people or society tells you that you should. The Christmas Collector is a story of first love and taking chances, even when those chances could lead to heartache.
One of my favorite quotes from the book is, "In different ways, we all have voids to fill. Holidays, for a lot of people, can bring those feelings out even more. The best thing we can do is to fill our lives with things that matter, like...turning a favorite hobby into a job, or finding a person you're crazy about. Even if none of those things come with guarantees."
While this is my least favorite book out of the four in this anthology, I'm glad that I read it for the message it conveyed.

I'm probably the only guy to screw up a no boil kit. I did a Muntons no boil IPA and I don't know what happened along the way but It does not taste good at all. I was cautious with the sanitation and made sure I was siphoning "quietly" let it sit for about a month and now it has a great head on it but taste bad. Truly disappointed but on a good note I have an NB Honey Kolsch kit on the way so maybe my next kit won't be so bad.
Have you tried any of the NB malt extract kits?
I have used a dozen of them with only 1 I would not repeat, the German Alt. It wasn't bad, just not to my taste expectations for an alt. Never made the one you mention, but a wide range of others.
My father says, "hobbies are supposed to cost money".
Awesome thanks guys, hopefully this time it won't be such a failure. I have a big weekend ahead of me, NB Kolsch kit and a thing of strawberry mead I'm going to start up.
@chessrockwell Did you use a nutrient for the yeast, because Iv'e heard it can take forever if you don't.
I just used the raisins it called for, I think it's pretty much done it's just in the aging stage until I can try it
I love the Brewers Best American Pale Kit, make a very tasty brew. This was my first kit beer.

Make room for me on this bandwagon :)
I love this concealer. I use it only on my undereyes, as it breaks me out anywhere else. It's a perfect colour match, I think it lasts (warning: I'm not too good at noticing things like this) and it doesn't settle into the fine lines under my eyes, unlike some other offenders *cough MAC cough*
I don't even care about the price - and this is coming from someone who hates spending lots of $$ on makeup. Effacernes is a quality product that does what it's supposed to.

Expensive, but definitely worth every penny. I bought this about a month ago and I couldn't be happier. I was in search of a concealer to hide this horrible discoloration under my right eye. People sometimes think its a black eye on bad days and running eyeliner or mascara on good days. I had been using the time balm concealer or kat Von d tatoo concealer. It never really hid it, just made it lighter. I came to grips that I would just have to live with it.
After returning some Christmas sweaters :), I found myself at the lancome counter, drooling over mascara and eye palettes. The girl at the counter was super nice and she suggested I try this under-eye concealer. She kept talking about how it was waterproof and that would make all the difference for the coverage I was looking for.
She was absolutely right. You cannot see my 'black eye' at all now. It gives me a completely different (fresher) look. Now i can smudge my eyeliner uner my lower lash line and not look like i've had a rough night.
This was my first lancome purchase besides bi-facil. Somehow I thought it was too old lady and stuffy for my tastes. I guess I made up reasons because it seemed to high end. Well now I know why people love this.brand. I ordered the primer and a foundation since. I have high hopes for these two.

My search for the perfect concealer is over.
Bye-bye dark circles!
Usually as the day wears on my concealer fades and dark circles rear their ugly head, but even after long shifts at work followed by a couple of drinks I look as if Ive just had a good nights rest!!
Long lasting, high pigmentation and lives up to its claims, this product is well worth the $53.
I love you lancome!!

Does not crease ever on me but I have to agree with other reviewers that it does not fully cover dark circles, I would say this is light to medium coverage which for me at least is OK because I don't have much to cover. I don't think that the price is crazy expensive, I paid about $30 for mine but it lasted me over a year and a half with daily use.
One thing I want to mention: some reviewers have complained about this concealer looking bad/not covering on their face...UGHH...this concealer is made for UNDEREYES, not for the face, it is called EFFACERNES (effacer: to erase, cernes: undereye circles)...now that I got this off my chest, I can move onto my next review.

I purchased this product yesterday and I have already made a judgement on this concealer. As an undereye concealer: It is fabulous -- the consistency is nice and it has just the right moisture. As a concealer for the face: Not so much (kind of figured because it's meant under the eyes) though If you choose to use it on your face, use very, very minimal. Overall great product :-)

Total HG for me in concealing my dark circles. After trying BB, LM and even Eve Pearl's famous concealer in addition to many d/s brands, nothing quite worked. However Effacernes in Porcelaine I is a perfect match for my skin tone (NW10ish here). It only takes a few tiny dabs and my circles are erased all day. The lasting power is outstanding and it never looks cakey or flaky. It is quite spreadable, but it doesn't budge. As a user tip, it definitely works better over moisturiser. With a little YSL TE on top, my under-eye area looks flawless. Oh and the Effacernes works well as a general concealer for covering some random redness around my nose. The needle-nosed tube is hygienic and prevents product waste. Though it's $29.00 it lasts a long time. Will certainly repurchase.

The love of my life when it comes to concealers.
Covers my super dark purpleish under eye circles, stays on all day, doesn't look or feel cakey on my oily skin.. I just love it. I can even conceal some imperfections in my face with it and it performs way better than MAC Studio Sculpt.
I set it with a tiny bit of loose transparent powder and it lasts all day.
Just love it.
Downside? It is quite expensive to me. 30-something uros for not so much product.

I like this product! I have slight dehydration around my eyes (trying to drink more water!) and genetic slim slight dark circles/socket line and have tried tons of brands most of which highlight problems rather than mask them.
The trick with this product is to basically finish all of your make up - yes that means throwing away the rule book of concealer/foundation/powder - and literally applying the smallest amount possible right at the end of your make up routine. Less is more, put it on with a small concealer brush (squeeze a small amount onto a fingertip and take the product from there) and gently blend with a clean foundation brush thereafter. Try not to powder the eye area before or after as it interferes with the result which should be a smooth looking fresh under eye area. Not cakey. It takes practice to not overload/layer the product but once you get the knack there's no looking back!

I wasn't impressed. Let me note though, I have very severe undereye circles. A product that is good for the average person's undereyes is probably not enough to deal with mine.
I tried this because I wanted to see if there was a better concealer out there than my MUFE. I picked this up because I heard it was specifically for undereyes, and waterproof.
For 30 dollars you don't seem to get as much product as you do with the MUFE Full Cover.
So this has a bit of a brightening effect to it. But I needed a lot of product, and though it is more heavy duty than other concealers it really did not do enough for my undereye. It only gave a moderate coverage, and it worked pretty nicely over my corrector, but not as well as I needed.
Since it is a bit on the oily side, it is not too bad to blend compared to some other concealers.
If you have dark circles that aren't so severe, this stuff is probably pretty good. But if you need a lot of coverage, this probably won't cut it for you. It didn't for me.
I'm still on the search for the best undereye cover up. I think that this stuff was quite expensive.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I have mixed feelings about this. The one thing I really cant go without is undereye concealer because of my genetic dark circles: caving, purplish blue and dry. So I figured Id get a high quality product.
First of all I think all shades are indeed very undereye friendly, almost the same colors as some corrects out there, and it is very creamy so it sets to this beautiful fresh finish. The big catch for me its that this is very pigmented but its not opaque, these are too different things. So it does not cover my dark circles, it fades then - exactly like a reviewer below said.
So I ended up using it as kind of a corrector under my mufe full cover because it makes it look less cakey than mufe alone. The bad part is this stuff is crazy expensive so I only ever use it if I am having a really bad day or a party. I do believe that if you buy something you must use it but as expensive as this, I have to save it for the real deal.

Key to Afghan crisis: tea and education
Greg Mortenson, author of 'Three Cups of Tea,' says success lies in building trust and schools in rural Afghanistan.
Chad McNeely/US Armed Services
Bozeman, Mont.
Greg Mortenson doesn't need to rely on think tanks or arcane policy documents to find the road to a better Afghanistan.
The mountaineer-turned-school builder from Montana – recently nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize – depends on what might be called his own show-of-hands index, based on his visits to speak with children in the United States and Afghanistan. In the past few months alone, he's spoken to tens of thousands of them.
"I always ask American schoolchildren how often they talk with their grandparents about the important events of history in the past. Invariably, maybe 10 percent at most will raise their hands," he says.
He poses the same question in the remotest corners of Afghanistan, where he has successfully erected 80 schools, many of them focusing on education for girls. There, the range of responses he receives seems to reflect the social health of a particular community.
In rural villages where the Taliban has not exerted its will on the community, Mr. Mortenson says perhaps 80 percent of kids respond affirmatively. But in areas where home-grown and foreign Taliban fighters have established brutal strongholds, sometimes with connections to Al Qaeda, almost no child raises a hand.
As President Obama pledged another 30,000 US troops Dec. 1 to root out terrorists in Afghanistan, Mortenson is suggesting that effort must go hand in hand with another: grass-roots education.

Paychex Announces Health Care Reform Solutions And Resources To Help Ease The Burden On America's Businesses
As key provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) take effect in 2014, businesses will see changes to the way they handle payroll reporting, administration, monitoring, and employee benefit offerings on a broad scale. Paychex, Inc., a leading provider of payroll, human resource, insurance and benefits outsourcing solutions for small- to medium-sized businesses, is helping employers navigate these changes with the launch of new comprehensive solutions that help employers and employees prepare for the Employer Shared Responsibility (ESR) and Individual Mandate provisions of the ACA.
"With more than 300 different provisions, the Affordable Care Act is a complex piece of legislation that has many employers concerned about the upcoming obligation they face under Health Care Reform," said Martin Mucci, Paychex president and CEO. "As we approach a critical time in the legislation with Employer Shared Responsibility and the Health Insurance Marketplaces taking effect in 2014, Paychex is committed to providing America's businesses with the information and support they need to understand the implications of Health Care Reform, and providing the solutions they need to take action."
Paychex Employer Shared Responsibility Services
The Employer Shared Responsibility (ESR) provision of the Affordable Care Act takes effect January 1, 2014 for employers with 50 or more full-time employees (taking into account full-time equivalent (FTE) employees). Employers face four specific compliance needs around ESR. The primary considerations for an employer include:
- Performing the calculations to determine if the employer is an applicable large employer who must offer health coverage to full-time employees
- Determine which employees are considered full-time employees and therefore put the employer at risk for penalties if not offered adequate coverage
- Determining if the coverage they offer meets the minimum standards of actuarial value and affordability which would put the employer at risk for penalties if it does not
- Being prepared to meet IRS requirements for end-of-year reporting
- Applicable Large Employer Analysis and Monitoring – Although ESR doesn't take effect until January 1, employers need to track employee hours now to determine if they qualify as an applicable large employer prior to open enrollment in the fall. The Applicable Large Employer Analysis and Monitoring service performs the complicated calculations used to assist in determining employer size. The service will perform ongoing calculations and alert employers with under 50 full-time employees when they are approaching the threshold of becoming an applicable large employer.
- Full-Time Employee Analysis and Monitoring – For those employers that meet the requirements of an applicable large employer, the Full-Time Employee Analysis and Monitoring service determines which employees are considered full time, and therefore put the employer at risk for penalties if they are not offered any or adequate coverage. The service alerts employers when an employee becomes a full-time employee, according to the provisions. It will also allow the employer to use different measurement or "look back" periods to help manage their unique workforce.
- Coverage Adequacy Analysis and Monitoring – Accessible to Paychex clients who offer employees health insurance through Paychex Insurance Agency, Inc. this service uses Paychex and Agency data to help determine if the coverage they offer meets federal standards for affordability and value, and alerts employers if coverage falls below those standards.

5 Stocks With New CEOs to Stay Away From
MILLBURN, N.J. ( Stockpickr) -- Companies, unlike members of the animal kingdom, can theoretically live forever. But a company's CEO, the person in charge of the day-to-day operations of the company, is human, and his or her time at the top is finite.
Issues always arise for both the company's management and shareholders as to what to do when a CEO leaves, whether the departure is planned or not. While the board of directors will ultimately make the decision as to whom to appoint as the CEO, investors, in my opinion, invest as much in the company's management as they do in the company's stock.
>>5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar
So when a CEO change is made, we must look carefully at a stock and decide whether or not the CEO change is a material event that necessitates action on our part. Sometimes a new CEO spells trouble or the continuation of problems for a company. Other times a new CEO might bring a refreshing change or opportunity for a turnaround to a company, as it did for Ford ( F) when Alan Mullaly took over the reins at the automobile manufacturer. Quite often, new CEOs are merely another step in a line of successful managers who help to steer the company to even greater heights.
We've already taken a look at five CEOs who are making their companies' stocks attractive to investors, in " 5 Stocks With New CEOs to Stick With." Now let's take a look at five stocks with new CEOs that investors should avoid.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Homemade I Spy Tube
By: Jennifer Neill
Jennifer Neill's fantastic Homemade I Spy Tube tutorial will teach you how to make hidden object games for kids. This DIY version of the Find It plastic cylinder game is great for waiting rooms and long car trips!
You can find this project and more kids' crafts in our free eBook, Family Fun Crafts: 16 Craft Ideas for Kids!
- Tiny, random toys
- Rice or Acini de Pepe pasta
- Jar
- Rubbing alcohol
- Three colors of food coloring
- Paper towels
- Plastic tube or baggie
- Cards, cut out from computer
- We began by having a scavenger hunt for lots of tiny, random toys.
- Next, we dyed rice three colors for the filler. (If I could give any advice, it would be to make this from Acini de Pepe pasta rather than rice as the little balls would be more like the actual game. I didn't think of this until after the game was constructed and the dying process for pasta is exactly the same.)
- Simply place white rice or pasta into a jar and cover with ordinary rubbing alcohol. Add food coloring and shake. Leave overnight or to desired tint. Strain the rice and lay out to dry on a paper towel.
- Mix dried rice and little toys in a bowl.
- Add the whole mixture to some kind of clear tube. We used an empty ornament container, but a tennis ball tube would work as well. (And, I'm pretty sure someone linked up an idea like this on Tutorial Tuesday on time using a ziploc baggie.)
- To make it more like a game, keep track of all the objects in the tube and type up and cut out cards on the computer. They can draw a card and look for that object!

A richer Thailand, and a cultural love of sugar, sparks a health problem.
BANGKOK, Thailand — Oil slicked Jay Muay's wok, big as a satellite dish, spitting grease at a queue of hungry customers. First came scallions and tofu, sprinkled from above. Then eggs, beat into a canary-yellow goop.
The street stall chef's hands flew into double-time: with her left, she joggled the wok; with her right, she flicked in a few fat-bodied shrimp. Lastly, Jay Muay reached for her not-so-secret ingredient: processed sugar.
She poured from a jug — one Mississippi, two Mississippi, three — until her pad thai was sweeter than summer-camp Kool Aid.
"It's almost impossible to add too much sugar," said Waiwong Wittayakun, Jay Muay's husband and co-owner of their forever-busy pad thai stall in Bangkok's On Nut market. "Thai people, we like it sweet. Just look at that queue!"
Thai cuisine is globally lauded as sophisticated, spiritual and even nutritious. What many Thai food fans don't realize, however, is that there's often gratuitous amounts of cheap, processed sugar hiding behind the spice.
The country's sweetness addiction, experts say, is partly responsible for one of it's fastest growing diseases: diabetes. Nearly one in 10 Thais now suffer from the disease, a rate even worse than America's one in 12.
"Traditionally, our food is supposed to have a balance of sugar," said Napaporn Sowattanangoon, a diabetes specialist with Thailand's Mahidol University. "You're supposed to taste sweetness balanced with spice, sourness and other flavors. Now, cooks just go overboard with sugar. It's like they don't even care about the dangers."
Like U.S. doctors, Thai physicians blame the diabetes epidemic on more-sedentary lifestyles and the rise of industrially produced junk food. The nation's most prevalent store is 7-11, which offers squid-flavored potato chips, starchy pork buns and sugar-loaded energy drinks around the clock.
Worse yet, Napaporn said, are Thai grade schools that serve processed meals. "The kids turn into adults who are addicted to sweet food. And they get fat because no one plays in the fields anymore."
Developing countries such as Thailand, India and China are seeing the most new diabetes cases globally, according to InterAsia, a research cooperative between U.S., Chinese and Thai universities. As newfound prosperity spares more Asians from physical labor, it's also driving them to more desk jobs and microwavable food.
Two-third of diabetics, according to InterAsia estimates, now live in the developing world. And in Thailand, according to estimates, half of all diabetics are oblivious to their disease.
The disease translates from Thai as "sweet urine disease" and, in rural provinces, it's traditionally self-diagnosed when villagers notice ants gathering around their outdoor toilet.
"I suspected I was diabetic, as many black ants swarmed around my urine," said one Thai patient evaluated for a 2009 Mahidol University study of cultural influences on diabetes treatment. "One time, I slightly dipped my finger in my own urine and tasted it. It would be sweet if I had drank it."
Treatment in Thailand is further complicated by spiritual beliefs. Some diabetic Thais, Napaporn says, blame the illness on misdeeds from past lives, such as undernourishing livestock. Other patients she's evaluated recite their Buddhist acceptance of illness and death, expressing little desire to change their love of sweet foods.

Looks a below standard Wimbledon this year with both Henin and Clijsters missing. Despite their previous injuries Serena and Venus are hot favourites. Is this fair or will they need to play well below their best not to meet in the Final? Personally unless Myskina has gained a lot of confidence from her Paris win I cannot see where the opposition is going to come from. The three warm-up tournaments have been sub-standard as I cannot see Sharapova, Kuznetsova or Pierce really being serious contenders. Unless they suffer another injury can anyone else see anything but an all Williams final?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Jamie Barton (born 1980/1981 (age 33–34))[1] is an American operatic mezzo-soprano. She won the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition (crown and also Song Prize) in June, 2013.[2]
Barton was born in Rome, Georgia.[3] Her parents are Jim Barton and Robin Fox. She first performed when she was six years old, singing "Tender Shepherd" from the 1954 musical Peter Pan at a talent show at the Armuchee Elementary School.[4]
She attended Armuchee High School, obtained a bachelor's degree from Shorter College and pursued a master's degree from Indiana University, both degrees in voice performance.[5]
In the summers of 2006 and 2007, Barton was a Gerdine Young Artist at the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis and a Fellow in Vocal Studies at the Tanglewood Music Center.[6] In April 2007, Barton, along with five other singers, won the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions.[5][7]
In summer 2007, Barton made her professional operatic debut singing the role of Annina, the lead character's maid, in Verdi's La traviata at the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis.[3][8][9]
In July 2008, Barton sang in Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel at the Aspen Music Festival; one critic described Barton's performance as coming "close to stealing the show with her over-the-top witch."[10]
In the 2008/09 season, Barton, a graduate of the Houston Grand Opera Studio, sang three times with the Houston Opera, as Ursula in Berlioz's Béatrice et Bénédict, as Giovanna in Verdi's Rigoletto, and as Mrs. Ronaldson in the world premiere of André Previn's Brief Encounter.[11]
In the 2009/2010 season, she debuted at the Metropolitan Opera in the role of the Second Lady in Mozart's The Magic Flute. She also sang for the first time with the Canadian Opera Company as Emilia, Desdemona's maid, in Verdi's Otello.[11]
In 2011, Barton performed the role of Mère Marie in Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich.[12] Also in 2011, Barton debuted with the Lyric Opera of Chicago. She sang three roles: the Voice of the Mother in Offenbach's Tales of Hoffman, the Nurse in Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov, and the Dryade in Richard Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos.[12][13]
In summer 2012, she sang again with the Bavarian State Opera at the Munich Opera Festival, singing the role of the Second Norn in Richard Wagner's Götterdämmerung.[14]
On June 21, 2013, Barton won the Song Prize at the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition.[15] On June 23, she won the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World.[2][16] The only person in the history of the competition to win both prizes before was Romanian tenor Marius Brenciu.[17]
She is represented by Columbia Artists Management.[18]
The Guardian reviewing the 2013 Cardiff Singer of the World results: "She is a great artist, no question, with an imperturbable steadiness of tone, and a nobility of utterance that invites comparison not so much with her contemporaries as with mid-20th century greats such as Kirsten Flagstad or Karin Branzell...her performance of Unbewegte Laue Luft, marked her out as one of the great Brahms interpreters of our times."[19]
Opera News has described Barton as a "rising star" with a "sumptuous voice".[20]
In a review of a recital at the Kennedy Center in 2009, Anne Midgette said that Barton had a "big voice" and "sang very well" but "showed [a] penchant for mugging".[21]

Are naps during the day productive for your health or counterproductive? Can a 20-30 minute nap at lunch help energize me for the rest of the day?
Hi Jenny,
Thanks for the Ask. Depending how many hours of sleep we get at night, if it's less than what our body needs in order to feel energized the next day. A 20-30 minutes nap during the day can help with alertness and productivity, memory and learning and less stress through out the day.

Excellent excursion. I went for the lunch ride and happened to be by myself. It was just me and the guide, a great ride in a beautiful place. It was hot, but we got out around 9:30AM so not too bad. Everyone involved is super nice and friendly and ready to help, it was a great experience, I will do it again. I highly recommend it.
Reviewed by: Shari F, July 2014
Wonderful ride, exceptional cow hands ... we enjoyed every minute of it. I definitely recommend this to anyone who has never ridden or to those with experience, everyone will enjoy. Also, the hamburger/meal after the ride was probably the best meal we had while in Nevada!
