Richardson Gets Backing For Secretary of State Post
WASHINGTON -- The battle for America's top diplomatic post spilled into view Tuesday, as some Hispanic leaders made a public push to have President-elect Barack Obama name Bill Richardson, the governor of New Mexico, as his secretary of state.
Sen. John Kerry, an early backer of Mr. Obama who failed in his own bid for the presidency four years ago, sought to deflect reports that he is lobbying for the job.
"I haven't talked to anybody. I've had no conversations. It's all speculation, and I have nothing further to say," Sen. Kerry told the Associated Press Tuesday in Boston. A spokeswoman for the senator confirmed the statement.
The developments follow days of intense speculation in the nation's capital about who will assume the helm of U.S. diplomacy at a signal moment. The next secretary of state will inherit two wars, a global financial crisis, increased anti-American sentiment abroad and what U.S. intelligence officials say is likely to be dwindling American influence in the years ahead.
In addition to Gov. Richardson and Sen. Kerry, there has been speculation about Richard Holbrooke, a former senior U.S. diplomat; Sen. Richard Lugar, a Republican foreign-policy guru from Indiana; Sen. Chuck Hagel, the Nebraska Republican who is retiring; and Sen. Hillary Clinton, among others.
Mr. Obama has repeatedly pledged a sharp change in tone and direction for American diplomacy, after eight years in which Democratic and centrist critics complained that the Bush administration relied too much on confrontation and too little on engagement.
Question of the Day
Who should be the next secretary of state?
Join the discussion in the Journal Community.
The National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, an umbrella organization of 26 Hispanic groups, called on Mr. Obama to select Gov. Richardson, who endorsed Mr. Obama in March after dropping out of the Democratic race for president in January. Gov. Richardson, a Mexican-American, is a seasoned diplomat, having served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President Bill Clinton.
"By all accounts, Latinos were a key part of President-elect Obama's historic victory," said John Trasviña, the NHLA chairman, who is also general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Now, "Latinos have the talent and expertise to play a major role in governing at the cabinet level and throughout the federal agencies."
A spokesman for Gov. Richardson didn't return a call for comment Tuesday.
Valerie Jarrett, a top adviser to Mr. Obama, said in a television interview Sunday that diversity would play an important role in the next president's cabinet choices. His transition co-chair, John Podesta, echoed that statement in a briefing with reporters Tuesday, and added, "Excellence is the first criteria for all of these people coming into government."
No cabinet announcements are expected this week, but Mr. Obama will likely announce his economic and national-security teams first.
Mr. Obama spoke by telephone Monday with Sen. Lugar, aides to both men said. But Sen. Lugar's spokesman, Andy Fisher, said the two men didn't speak about the secretary of state job, and Sen. Lugar has rejected the idea of serving as secretary of state, Mr. Fisher said.

Nikolai Roerich Apartment Museum
History of St. Petersburg Museum
By Alexei Bayer
Published: January 15, 2014 (Issue # 1793)
Russians enjoy longer holidays than people in any of the other 40 countries tracked by the travel website Hotels.com, combining the generous 28-day paid vacation required by the labor law with 12 days of official public holidays adds up to 40 days per year, compared to 36 days off work for second-place Italy.
Some aspects of such long vacations are undoubtedly positive. A long summer vacation combined with more than a week off at the start of the year and a holiday many people create for themselves in early May gives families more time together and allows them to travel abroad. In theory, this should remedy the pernicious effect of the Soviet-era Iron Curtain and make younger Russians more knowledgeable about the world, more tolerant and open-minded. The shrillness of the current xenophobic campaign in the state media, attacking the West in general, may be the Kremlin's desperate, irrational attempt to stem the tide of pro-Western sentiment among well-traveled Russians.
But many who stay home actually hate the extended New Year holidays. They complain about the hangovers after drinking, wasteful spending and boredom. But there is also a broader economic impact of generous vacations, which is similar to what Russia experienced under communism and which could come to haunt it once again in the near future.
Whether or not people worked longer hours in the Soviet Union is beside the point. Pay was low, but productivity was even lower. "They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work," went the popular saying. Much time was wasted on party meetings and indoctrination, and the system itself was economically inefficient. The Soviets mined coal and ore to make machinery to mine more coal and ore. The added value of such activity was negligible.
Once communism collapsed and Russia became integrated into the world economy, the economic value of Soviet communism was appraised by the market. The result was a sharp devaluation of the ruble. The Soviet ruble went from parity to the dollar artificially set by the state, or about 10 rubles per dollar on the black market, to the equivalent of about 33,000 rubles to the dollar, which is what the Soviet ruble is worth today. This destroyed all savings accumulated during the Soviet era and made a mockery of pensions.
Russia is now relatively wealthy once more. Its gross domestic product is valued at more than $2 trillion based on purchasing power parity, not much lower than Britain. Unlike the Soviet era, it is market evaluation, not an arbitrary figure set by state planners. But to a large extent, Russia's elevated GDP reflects high commodity prices, notably oil, which in turn have been inflated by the U.S. Federal Reserve's relentless printing of dollars.
Meanwhile, productivity in Russia's non-oil economy is generally low. Where productivity is higher, such as in the automobile and food-processing industry, it is also largely a reflection of petrodollar-driven consumer demand. Moreover, even in those industries unit labor costs are high, since employers have to pay for government-mandated fringe benefits and generous vacations.
If oil prices drop, Russia may suffer a decline in wealth similar to the one that occurred after the fall of communism, albeit on a smaller scale. In particular, falling oil prices would require a devaluation of the ruble, with sharply negative consequences for dollar-denominated national accounts.
This is not a far-fetched scenario but something that happened several times to Venezuela, Algeria, Mexico, Indonesia and other oil producers — even to the Saudis in the early and mid-1990s.

Beyond the Screen: Documentaries and Transmedia Activism
Beyond the Screen: Documentaries and Transmedia Activism
Session 2 of "Beyond the Screen: The Immersive Media Forum."
Through the last century documentaries have played a pivotal role informing the public on issues of social and global justice and have served as calls to action, mobilizing citizens and leaders. As filmmakers and advocacy groups meet on the fluid platforms of the web, a new form of activism has emerged, dubbed "Transmedia Activism." This panel will discuss this emergence, and the role traditional documentaries and web savvy advocacy groups will play moving forward.
Beyond the Screen: The Immersive Storytelling Forum
Contemporary technologies have always had a profound effect on the way we tell stories. Just as the printing press paved the way for the novel and television gave us the sitcom, so to the computer is changing the face of entertainment. This is by no means a new idea - critics, creators, and audiences have been talking about the fact that the digital age is altering the traditional role of the storyteller and audience for some time. What we hope to do at the Beyond The Screen is to move the conversation along, if only by asking one very simple question: "How?"
It's a new age for telling stories and with it comes a new set of rules, a new critical vocabulary, as well as new models for doing business. From video games with ever more realistic graphics and complex narratives to immersive worlds built atop our own that permit audiences to physically explore story in three living dimensions, a change is taking place. Audiences are transitioning from simple consumers of entertainment into dynamic participants in their media of choice. Beyond the Screen is a series of panels, presentations, and special events that seeks to draw together the makers driving these changes – the writers, producers, story architects, and designers in the fields of transmedia and video games – for a discussion of the state of the art as well as an exploration of the roll film has played in effected these emerging modes of storytelling…and how these emerging fields have effected the relatively new art of film. Designed to be accessible to both active producers of transmedia and those just discovering the form (or forms as the case may be) for the first time, BEYOND THE SCREEN aims to change the way you think about storytelling - from how story is told to who is telling it.

Methods For Using Steel Detectors On The Beach
A lot of people do not understand what type of metal detector they ought to acquire. White Spectrum XLT can be found in local and national retailers throughout the world and has endured and surpass..
Metal detectors are often found in treasure hunting and to find relics. It is a practical equipment specifically for hunters and adventurers. There are lots of models and forms of metal detectors and each of them change in characteristics, quality, and stability. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Many individuals do not know what kind of metal detector they ought to acquire. White Spectrum XLT can be found in local and national dealers all over the world and has endured and surpassed the test of time. It could be easily used and is user-friendly.
Even newcomers might use it. The manual can be obtained and is easily comprehended. This type is used frequently at the seaside in Jewelry or Beach method. It can also be used in mode. When it is in relic method, the range is increased and the results can be funny. Nevertheless, utilizing it o-n the beach in the method isn't that good. Because of the solid, black sand and stones, it shows way too many false targets so it's recommended that you employ the metal detector in Beach method in place of Relic Mode. Using the item is the best method to understand its functions. If you have an opinion about finance, you will maybe desire to read about skyclick47 on 43 Things. To read more, please consider having a gaze at: KonnectMe: helmetprint36. And down the road it is possible to see the signals. Another advantage is it is quite simple and convenient to carry.
Another design will be the Whites Pro XL 6000. Most people get it due to its interesting search. Unlike the White Spectrum that has more buttons to use and to check over, you will find less buttons to browse through when modifying or changing the settings. But, familiarizing your self and getting used to it might need a short amount of time. But once you understand and become familiar with it, it'll be very useful. Compared to the White Spectrum, White Pro XL 6000 features a bit more depth and power.
It does, however, have an unique drawbacks. Some say that the knobs of the Pro XL are quite free and when changing it, you've to be careful to not reach it together with your hands. It is quite sensitive and painful and bumping it may need you to start or reset the adjustments. Some consumers put a rubber band round the buttons to keep them from moving or getting loose.
You should buy a metal detector that's light-weight. This can be essential when you are discovering issues on the riverbank or body of water. Of course, it's good to know how to choose and alter the frequencies of the metal detector especially when you are using it on the beach. It is also important that you use it in a proper position or place. When working with it o-n the beach, the processes should be modified so your strength and degree will be specified and clear. Finally, familiarize yourself with all the metal detector you are using to have the most effective results.

I brew in my kitchen all the time. I use a 28L electric urn and maxi-BIAB for 5 gallon batches and more (I do a kind of partigyle hybrid to make an IPA of 8 liters and a Stout/porter of 15 liters from the same mash). Electric urns are more popular here in Europe from what I gather, and I cannot recommend the combination with BIAB enough. Simple and smart. There is even a Danish company that sells a kit for this practice: But of course these are made for 230v and 1800W. The urn itself: This is a PoorMansBraumeister
Look up JKarp's CB20.
I brew in the kitchen all the time on an electric stove. I used to brew extract but all grain now. i currently have 8 gal boiling. 10 gal mega pot. It takes a little longer to get up to temp but works just fine as long as you leave the cover on until boil. without the cover it will never get there. also recommend getting a different burner that is made for canning. i was using the standard burner and crushed it from the weight. canning ones are re-enforced to handle the weight. canning burner was about $15 on ebay

I have had to take a few people in for that same reason... before we had tasers. I would have done the same thing the officer in the video did. It's not worth fighting any more now that we have tasers.

Reminds me of the Dan Sayers take-down, awhile back, in which continued howling and protestations were made before the situation was secure. Both of these folks would have been far better off to simply and quietly comply with the initial contact, follow the instructions, provide the requested information at the right time. Refuse to do that, or do that in a manner that dramatically escalates concerns over safety or security, it's rational to expect a more-assertive response.

so u have to sign it or you do go to jail??
what u sign it for the reason u got it but not because u are guilty
the officer had every right to take the guy down.
i would rather he had done it without the taser, but the guy should have just listened.
Yes. That's the deal. Deal with it via mail, or deal with it by having the LEO take you to his office. I don't know too many folks who would refuse to sign in exchange for being able to deal with it later, instead of on the instant of the infraction being claimed.
Whatever else is considered, consider this: How, exactly, is the LEO supposed to distinguish between someone jacked on drugs and a danger to the LEO and someone who's merely blown a gasket and refusing to cooperate? Plenty of the former type attempt to kill LEO's for sport. This person did a fair impersonation of someone who was a brewing threat to the LEO, being on the side of the road and alone as he was, with others in the vehicle.

Guy should have just cooperated.
One thing I noticed that I think could have been done better was that for a long time the guy was face down with his head in the roadway(more or less near the white line). With all of the videos I've seen where a cop has been hit by motorists passing by, I was waiting for a vehicle to come by and run over the guys head. Lucky guy in my mind.

Not sure about today but I know that has not been the strict case in Texas, at least in the past.
Many years ago (when I was a dumb,smart a** kid), I seem to remember that I wouldn't sign one and the officer just wrote on the ticket that I refused to sign. I ended up just paying the ticket anyway.
Signing a ticket is not an admission of guilt, it is just an acknowlegement of the ticket and it's receipt by you.

I just don't understand the ignorance of some people in dealing with law enforcement. They take a minor infraction and turn it into a big deal. The guy could've signed the ticket and headed down the road, then contested it in court, gotten deferred adjudication, or just paid a fine and been done with it.

Recent excavations reveal 150-meter-long tunnel
BIDAR: The excavations in some portions of the sprawling 15th Century Bidar Fort constructed by Sultan Ahmed Shah of the Bahamani Dynasty has further strengthened the belief of historians that the fort had many tunnels and escape routes for the royals.
The excavations on the north side of Bidar fort adjacent to the royal harem has revealed the existence of a 150-meter-long tunnel cutting through solid laterite soil. It is assumed that could have been used by the women of the harem as an escape route in the event of an attack on the fort by enemies.
According to senior conservationist of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) Anandtheerth, who is supervising the excavation work in three identified locations, and the Bidar Deputy Commissioner Harsh Gupta, who was instrumental in persuading the ASI to take up the excavation, the recent findings would through light on the history of the Bidar Fort and the Bahamani Sultanate.
The tunnel dug in a zig-zag form has at least two deep wells without protective walls. This could have been dug to trap enemy warriors who may have followed the escaping royals to give them enough time to escape. The height of the tunnel suddenly narrows down and one would have to creep through the passage to escape to the moat at the other end of the fort. Mr. Anandtheerth said that the height of the tunnel had been deliberately narrowed to fool enemy warriors and in the dark interiors it would be hard for them to locate the end of the escape route.
Another find
Mr. Gupta said that another significant find during the excavation was the "Hazar Kotri" (meaning thousand cells), which all these years remained buried under thick mounds of mud and thorny bushes.
The excavations that started a week ago, have revealed the presence of beautifully constructed row cells built with locally available limestone blocks and laterite bricks. So far, the personnel involved in the excavation have recovered several cells, which were probably used to house warriors and their families. They have been so designed that even in the height of the summer, the interiors remain cool.
At least eight wells have been identified and water was present in almost all of them. These were dug to a depth of 200 to 300 m.
The excavators, during the removal of the debris in one portion of the inner moat adjacent to the Queen's quarters, discovered that a portion of the moat, to a distance of around 400 m, was made into a park by the royals, and a well-laid pipeline to supply water to the water fountain and garden has also been recovered.
"We propose to continue the excavation in a few more identified areas to unravel the mystery surrounding Bidar Fort," said Mr. Gupta. "Our aim is to prove that the Bidar Fort was one of the important forts in the country and develop this as one of the important tourist destination with all facilities."

In the 40 years George Washington and wife Martha lived there, he managed to expand the estate from 6 to 21 rooms, and the grounds from 2,000 to 8,000 acres (it's a more modest but still impressive 500 acres now). We're not sure how many cherry trees he planted, but we do know it's been a publicly accessible presidential retreat since 1860. In the years since, almost 80 million have visited.

Teen facing felony for giving drugs to minorBy ERIC FRANCIS
CORRESPONDENT | June 27,2013WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Springfield teenager is facing felony charges that he gave prescription Percocet to a 15-year-old girl before dropping her off at Springfield High School earlier this month.
Kevin Morin, 18, pleaded innocent Monday to two counts of felony delivering drugs to a minor and to misdemeanor charges of possessing narcotics and petty larceny.
Three white pills were discovered on June 5 when the girls purse was searched by the assistant principal and the school nurse. Court records said the girl had brought prescription drugs to school on multiple occasions and had once overdosed at school.
Police said the school nurse used markings on the pills to identify them as Percocet, a variant of the addictive opiate drug Oxycontin.
Police said Morin acknowledged taking the pills from a prescription bottle belonging to an older relative. Morin insisted he had given the girl the pills because she wasnt feeling well and he wanted to help her, police said.

Hard Gay
This entry has been rejected due to incompleteness or lack of notability.
To dispute this DEADPOOL flagging, please provide suggestions for how this entry can be improved, or request editorship to help maintain this entry.
Masaki Sumitani is part of the Japanese comedy duo known as Razor Ramon, a name which he also used in his brief wrestling career. Sumitani and his friend Makoto Izubuchi formed Razor Ramon in 1997. Sumitani's most well-known performing character is Hard Gay (ハードゲイ, Hādo Gei), also called "HG", Razor Ramon Hard Gay or Razor Ramon Sumitani, an eccentric supposedly gay man wearing tight black leather and PVC clothes and acting with overacted gay mannerisms.
According to Wikipedia, Sumitani had been a popular stage comedian, performing a few different characters for a few years befor joining Yoshimoto Kogyo Co., Ltd. In 1999.
Excerpt from Wikipedia on Yoshimoto Kogyo:
Yoshimoto Kogyo Co., Ltd. (吉本興業株式会社, Yoshimoto Kōgyō Kabushiki-gaisha?) (TYO: 9665) is a major Japanese entertainment conglomerate, with its headquarters based in Osaka. It was founded in 1912 as a traditional theatre, and has since grown to be one of the most influential companies in Japan, employing most of Japan's popular owarai (comedy) talent, producing and promoting the shows they appear in, and even maintaining its own amusement park.
Sumitani introduced the Hard Gay character (known in Japan as Hādo Gei) in 2002, growing to national renown by 2005 when Hard Gay became a weekly feature on the Bakushō Mondai no Bakuten!(Daibakuten) variety show. The character represents a common stereotype of American gay subculture to the Japanese audience and does not represent any Japanese gay subculture. Because of this, it was allowed to be aired and not deemed offensive to Japanese audiences.
On the show, Hard Gay goes around performing acts of charity (or yonaoshi, "social improvement" → source: wikipedia link) for unsuspecting bystanders, wearing his fetish outfit while accompagnied by the Ricky Martin's "Livin' la Vida Loca" song.
He has also trademarked gesture and vocalizations such as his "pelvic thrust", his "Hoooooo" (フゥ~!) or "Foohhhh!" (フォー!) running jokes shouts or also his "Sei sei sei sei sei" shout with his palm in front of the person's face.
The main theme of Hard Gay's act relies on the idea that Hard Gay is a foreigner, and as such, can get away with outlandish behavior. The setting of each video
The first Hard Gay video to be uploaded to Youtube was a video of a live performance, uploaded by user SaffronsGhost on January 19th, 2006. After three years, the video has just under 70,000 views.
On February 19th, 2006, a user by the name of Grommet on the forums at Bakakage.net started a thread entitled For the NANA fans and posted a link to another Hard Gay video. Unfortunately, this video has been removed due to copyright violation.
On February 22nd, 2006, another Hard Gay thread was created. The thread was called In Bridget we trust and contained an image of Hard Gay hotlinked from 420chan.
Http://www.hard-gay.org, was first registered on August 27th, 2006 and archived by archive.org on November 7th, 2006. The site was available in English and Japanese right from the start.
This WMV episode with subtitles was made easily accessible to English-speaking audiences at least as early as November 7th, 2006.
It appears that the first Wikipedia article to be published on Hard Gay was on October 11th, 2005.
The Japan Times printed a story on Hard Gay in English on July 17th, 2005.
Hard Gay videos
His offbeat humor clashing with the japanese more conservative code of political politeness led to worldwide fame when videos from the show were uploaded on Youtube, and subbed in english:
Here, he went to Yahoo Japan company:
Social improvement:
He even went to Tomy's director's house to have his own Pop-up Pirate version:
The original [Bakafish] videos have been deleted due to copyright infrightement, sadly. They had many more views than the new ones.
You can fin here the forum community that helped translating and subbing HG's videos.
Hard gay also made a japanese version of "Young Men", from YMCA:
And a song of his own (warning, NSFW):
He was featured on "Lost in Tokyo", a Dutch and Flemish game show and has also appeared in multiple episodes of Jonathan Ross' Japanorama on the BBC.
Finally, he made cameo appearances in Gantz and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya animes/mangas as well as several japanese other shows and games.

New healthcare bill won't hurt deficit. What about your wallet?
The CBO says the Senate Finance bill will create a $81 billion surplus over 10 years. But critics say its fees, taxes, and mandates will hit Americans' pocketbooks hard.
Harry Hamburg/AP
What's in a score?
The Senate Finance Committee's healthcare plan got a clean bill of fiscal health from key congressional scorekeepers – that is, it insures most Americans without adding a dime to the federal deficit, according to nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
But does it shift the burden of healthcare costs to players outside the Beltway? That's the new political fault line heading into a Senate Finance panel vote, which could come as early as Friday.
The CBO score doesn't measure the fiscal impact on families, businesses, healthcare providers, or state and local governments. What will happen to them if the bill's new mandates, fees, taxes, and penalties become law?
Nor does the CBO score capture the cost of doing nothing.
The importance of CBO scores
On Capitol Hill, that CBO score can be a game-changer. A poor CBO score sunk the Clinton administration's healthcare reform bid in 1994.
That's partly why House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday asked the CBO to score three versions of a government-run public option. It is part of the House's efforts to merge the work of three committees into a single bill. She is hoping that the CBO scores will rally support for the strongest version of a public option.
"There is absolutely no question the robust public option scores very well: $110 billion [in savings]. And that is why I so strongly supported it," she told reporters at a briefing Thursday. She says that she expects the robust version of the plan to outscore the other two by $85 billion over 10 years.
Eventually, the House version of reform must reconciled with a final Senate plan. There, too, the CBO score is the basis for comparing options.

Bill to allow guns in SC bars, restaurants headed for Gov. Haley?s desk | Politics | The State
it's a start for SC to move into modern times.
the next job is to allow having a drink while carrying.
I am aware that there are many people who cannot grasp that many people are capable of having a drink or some wine with their dinner without losing complete control of their faculties but it is possible and SC should be like FLA in this regard.
in FLA it is ok to drink while carrying it is not ok to use your weapon while intoxicated. so just like driving, I am able to drive home after a drink or wine with dinner without being concerned about blowing more than .08 (an absurd arbitrary number) and I can also carry my weapon while enjoying an adult beverage
I'm glad it passed.Personally i don't drink so ,not being able to drink and carrying doesn't effect me one way or the other.
I'm curious how the will do the cwp now,since they dropped the 8 hr required class for getting the permit.I've heard what they may do,but so far as the law goes,i only believe what i see in writing.
I'm going to say Gov Haley will sign it..I'm glad the fine is kinda stiff for drinking...People don't need to be drinking and carrying a gun..They say i'm going to have one drink and that's it. Then one turns into two. By the time they leave they are drunk.I absolutely believe a few here and there would have more than a drink,or a beer.. I don't think most CCers would want to risk losing their permit..I do drink sometimes but i can wait until i'm home.
Finally! I get tired of finding we're going out to eat at Applebees, O'Charlies, or some other restaurant that severs alcohol, only to have to leave my gun at home.
In Utah the bac was the same for carrying and drinking as it was for drinking and driving. .makes sense.

If I read the final version of S.308 correctly, they did not drop the required training, just the statement for a minimum of 8 hours:
On the following link, scroll down to SECTION 2. A. Section 23-31-210 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 347 of 2006, is further amended to read:
2013-2014 Bill 308: Firearms - South Carolina Legislature Online
Whoa there, deadguy, that's not what the FL law says. Flaguns just didn't explain the entire statute on that topic and you made a rash assumption. See (5) specifically:
790.151 Using firearm while under the influence of alcoholic beverages, chemical substances, or controlled substances; penalties.—
(1) As used in ss. 790.151-790.157, to "use a firearm" means to discharge a firearm or to have a firearm readily accessible for immediate discharge.
(2) For the purposes of this section, "readily accessible for immediate discharge" means loaded and in a person's hand.
(3) It is unlawful and punishable as provided in subsection (4) for any person who is under the influence of alcoholic beverages, any chemical substance set forth in s. 877.111, or any substance controlled under chapter 893, when affected to the extent that his or her normal faculties are impaired, to use a firearm in this state.
(4) Any person who violates subsection (3) commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
(5) This section does not apply to persons exercising lawful self-defense or defense of one's property.

OV showed me the way, specifically with the citing of #5 in the FL law. I had a strong feeling this was part of the laws in each state where consumption and carry is legal.
The way the FL law is written, it seems it wouldn't matter if you had BAC of .01 or .30 if you defended your property in a justified manner. As it should be.
There's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive

its an ok product...its a runy liquid, it didnt last all day. luckily it didnt broke me out, but i did not use it on my t zone because its a bit oily.
(the product and my t zone)
i do use it on my cheeks if im going out instead of using foudation, i have to use concealer over it of course, but overall its an ok bb cream.
I can't get this to work on my skin. I've tried applying this with both fingers and brushes, with and without primer, and with or without primer. No matter what I do, it comes out streaky and uneven and accentuates my pores.
I'm not sure if the formula sold in different countries varies, but mine was bought in Australia and doesn't say anything about SPF.
To be honest, plain white sunscreen + translucent powder works 100 times better than this product. I'm rating it 2/5 because at least it didn't seem to give me any new breakouts.
This product is a miracle, yes a simple drug store product!! Let me give you a few details about my skin. . My skin is highly reactive to certain ingredients, especially most silicones and silicone derivatives. Well, as you can imagine silicones are in 98% of skincare and cosmetics. I use retinol and AHA in my routine. This requires me to be faithful with sunscreen, however with my skin sensitivities, after an elaborate search, I HAD yet to find a sunscreen that did not cause immediate eruptions to my skin (chemical sunscreens are definitely a no go for my skin) I can't use primers because unfortunately 99% of them are silicone based. So, I decided to give this a try because, after checking ingredients, it was not silicone based, and the sunscreen was physical and not chemical. I was not expecting much from this inexpensive product, but boy was I amazed!!! FIRST, it did not cause a skin reaction (YAY!!!), Second, it provided a physical sunscreen and did not irritate my skin (WHOOP, WHOOP!!!), Third, with deep dark AA skin, it was not ashy(SCORE!!) and Finally, I have finally got a primer I can use!!!
I use this as a primer/sunscreen under my foundation or powder. It covers well, I don't have a lot to conceal on my face, I do add under eye concealer, but by putting this on first, I don't have to use very much under eye concealer and I have truly dark under eye circles. It makes a fantastic primer, it creates a beautiful canvas for your foundation. It is also very moisturizing but not too moisturizing. I can't ever be without this product. When there is a BOGO I stock up. Ladies, if you have sensitive skin, can't use most sunscreens, or most primers, try this cheap less than $8 product.

I've used a lot of BB creams, high to low end, and this is one of the best. incredibly cheap, great coverage, lasts all day and night with no color change. might be more coverage than some look for in this type of product, but I think it's terrific. Will buy over and over!

This is the first BB cream I've ever used (and still currently using, haven't bought any others yet). I use it as a foundation and finish with powder. The reason why I finish with a powder is because it can be a bit oily. A little goes a very long way with this product. It's never been streaky or gross. Perhaps my review isn't very accurate since this I'm a first time BB cream user and I wouldn't necessarily recommend this to someone. I probably would buy this again but I would also buy others to compare it to. This BB cream gives me a nice glow. The color I got matches my skin color pretty well so it fixes my imperfections without giving me that weird photo shopped commercial-looking skin. I think it was about 3-4$ at WalMart; worth a try if you're interested.
This product, for me, was very disappointing. It was gluggy and disgusting and streaky on my face after trying to rub it in. I don't know whether it was the wrong colour or just not for me, but I chucked it out because I absolutely hated this!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
While purchasing several different drugstore BB cremes to compare and contrast, I was at first liking this product the best before I found the one I'm using now. This BB creme didn't have good coverage compared to others, and the lightest shade 'Light sheer tint' was a bit oxidized and orangey after a while. It stayed long on my skin and made it feel smooth underneath a loose powder, but I feel like for a similar price there are better options.

This product works really well for me, an is good for wearing to school without looking like I fell asleep in a tanning booth on my face, or like I just got all my blood sucked from Edward. It is the perfect amount of coverage, not to much foundation, not to little, and is good for a fresh clean look. I have bought it numerous times, I don't know what bottle I'm on now. I found out about it from a friend, and used some of hers: it made my face smooth just after using. It is a great product, because of its 8-1 features. Instead of buying all eight of those products, I can just buy one for $9.87. I have to admit though, it does run out kind of quickly for me. It is amazing, and I'm glad I bought this product. I recommend it to everyone.
More reviews by charmedandgorgeous
I am on my third tube or so of this BB cream, and I love it. I personally do not need a lot of coverage most days but on the days when I do, this BB cream does the trick. I like the consistency (very easily blended) and the dewy finish this BB cream leaves behind-it's really pretty and natural looking. I find that the lightest shade is absolutely perfect for my skin tone. The reason I am giving this product a 4/5 is because on the days when my face has broken out, applying this BB cream over my blemishes sometimes makes my face look cakey. I don't know why lol but on those days I'm more careful with blending
I have just bought this product and so far I am liking it. I have the lightest shade (fair) which is pretty much my exact skin tone, and it doesn't have that orange tinge that comes with most bb creams. It covered up almost all of my redness. I don't have many blemishes but what I do have it mostly covers up. I found I didn't need to use too much concealer with it, which is a plus because I'm very reluctant to use my concealer as it's a bit expensive. I didn't need to use powder with it either, even though it's a warm day.
The only downsides are that its not incredibly moisturising, and the price. I got it on special, but even so, for the amount you get I find it a bit pricy.
All in all, this is a fairly good product. I would buy it again. If it is on special.

The ETF is pro-rated. The closer you are to the end of the contract, the lower the etf. It may be a wash. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I would call today and ask. You obviously want to cancel before you get another charge for the ten bucks. They should be able to tell you what day you can actually cancel it.
It's either $110 or $120. It's not pro-rated, it is variable. Pro-rated would mean the ETF is distributed evenly across all months, which it's not.
for every month of service the ETF goes down by 10 dollars so if your 23 months into a contract they would take off 230 dollars from the $350 dollar ETF fee meaning you would still owe 120 dollars.

Droid phones countdown draws to a close
(Read article summary)Amid speculation that three Droid phones could touch down before the end of the year, Verizon on Wednesday unveiled the first of the Google-powered line.
After weeks of sweaty palms and a whole of lot of buzz, Verizon Wireless today officially took the wraps off the Droid, a smartphone built by Motorola and powered by Google's Android 2.0 operating system. In a call with reporters, John Stratton, Verizon's chief marketing officer, said the price of the Droid will come in at $199, with a two-year contract and a mail-in rebate. The Droid phones will hit shelves on Nov. 6.
As we reported yesterday, speculation is rife that Verizon is planning on rolling out three Droid phones by the end of the year. One of the Droids would reportedly be manufactured by HTC, while the second, code-named Calgary, would pair the Android operating system with BLUR capability. In the press conference, Stratton appeared to confirm those rumors. "The partnership between Verizon and Google will be a multiyear partnership … under the Droid franchise," he said, according to PC Magazine.

Ward, Gay might not see field in Week 14
PITTSBURGH -- Not only are the Steelers frustrated with their season-high four-game losing streak, but the defending champs are also ailing.
AFC North blog
ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley writes about all things AFC North in his division blog.
Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said Monday that team captain and veteran receiver Hines Ward is "very questionable" with a hamstring injury for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Browns. Ward was injured late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders.
"We'll see where it goes, but it's not favorable for him," Tomlin said.
Starting cornerback William Gay also suffered a concussion and will go through a battery of tests. Considering the short week, it's likely Gay won't see the field on Thursday. Rookie cornerback Joe Burnett would start in Gay's place, according to Tomlin; fellow rookie Keenan Lewis would also see some playing time.
Defensive end Ziggy Hood and wide receiver Mike Wallace also might earn elevated status for the Browns game. Wallace is expected to start if Ward can't go.
Tomlin added that, for the first time this season, the coaching staff is looking to make significant changes in the starting lineup in all three phases in an effort to end the losing streak. Pittsburgh (6-6) has to run the table in the final four games to keep its playoff hopes alive.
Tomlin isn't worried about how veterans on his team will respond if changes are made.
"They're pros," Tomlin said. "I think they understand it, and I think to a degree they'll agree with me. That's the nature of this thing. We can't stay status quo in terms of how we approach this thing and expect guys' behavior or the outcome to change. That's unrealistic.
"That's hoping and this is not a hope business. I'm not a hope-mentality person."
In other injury news, Steelers Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu (knee) also is not expected to play Thursday. Starting running back Rashard Mendenhall (ankle) will be limited in practice this week but is expected to play.

Integrating SQL with CGI, Part 2
Now that we have seen how to get our queries to work at the SQL level, let's think about the necessary steps needed to integrate these queries into some CGI programs. For the most part, our CGI programs do not need many changes. We need to modify send-postcard.pl so that it inserts the graphic ID into the postcards table, rather than the graphics file name, and show-postcard.pl needs to use the SQL query that we formulated above in order to get the graphic file name from the graphics table in addition to the information in the postcards table. The revised versions of the code are not completely reprinted this month. These two listings along with the listing that is printed are available by anonymous download in the file ftp.linuxjournal.com/pub/lj/listings/issue43/2508.tgz.
First, we'll look at the revised version of show-postcard.pl. The only change to be made to the listing printed last month is in the SQL query, which now reflects the new table:
my $command = ""; $command = "select postcards.sender_name,"; $command .= "postcards.sender_email,"; $command .= "postcards.recipient_name,"; $command .= "graphics.graphic_file,"; $command .= "postcards.postcard_text from "; $command .= "postcards,graphics "; $command .= "where id_number = $id"; $command .= "and postcards.graphic_id = "; $command .= "graphics.graphic_id";
Only this one change is necessary, because of the way in which we wrote the original version of show-postcard.pl. By contrast, imagine how much code we would have needed to rewrite if we had initially stored the information in a single ASCII text file, and then split the information between two files.
Our modifications to send-postcard.pl is almost as easy. We need to add the definition of $graphic_id, rather than $graphic_name, at the top of the file:
my $graphic_id = $query->param("graphic_id");
When we insert the postcard into the postcards table, we must modify the code so it uses the graphic_id column and variable, rather than graphic_name:
$command = "insert into postcards "; $command .= " (id_number, sender_name, "; $command .= " (sender_email, recipient_name, "; $command .= " recipient_email, graphic_id, "; $command .= " postcard_text) "; $command .= "values "; $command .= " ($id_number, \"$sender_name\", "; $command .= " \"$sender_email\", "; $command .= " \"$recipient_name\", "; $command .= " \"$recipient_email\", "; $command .= " \"$graphic_id\", "; $command .= " \"$postcard_text\") ";With those modifications in place, we are done. Now our code will work just fine with the new table, storing and retrieving graphics according to their ID.
There is one remaining problem with this version of the code. How is a visitor to our site supposed to know or remember the ID numbers for the various graphics that are available? We could modify the HTML form to provide this information, but it seems a bit silly for us to do so, since we would then have to update the form each time we updated the table.
The simplest solution is to write a small CGI program that produces the HTML form, inserting the values as appropriate. There are a number of different ways to allow the user to choose, but I decided when writing this program to take a relatively easy path by using radio buttons. A more aesthetically minded programmer (or one who expected to have a lot of graphics files) may have chosen a selection list, but that's a side issue. The resulting program, postcard-form.pl, is shown in Listing 1.
That about does it for our postcard-sending problem. There are, of course, many other ways in which this set of programs could be extended or modified. For example, it might be a good idea to create a CGI program that would allow us to enter and edit the file names in the graphics table, so that we would not have to use the interactive mysql program for such modifications. Currently, only someone knowledgeable in SQL can add, modify and delete elements in the graphics table. We could also ensure that the ID numbers in the graphics table are given sequentially; some relational database vendors provide that facility, allowing for "identity" columns that automatically increment as new rows are added.
It would also be nice to allow users to preview the graphics they place on the postcards, or at least describe the pictures rather than just presenting the users with file names. This option might require storing two versions of each graphic or adding another column to the graphics table that would be used for descriptions or previews.
The possibilities, as you can tell, are unlimited—and this is a relatively small project.
This article ends our whirlwind tour of SQL, although future columns will undoubtedly continue to use relational databases as a means for storing information. Next month, though, we will look at the efficiency of our CGI programs, including the "CGI lite" module for Perl.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
