I was finally able to spend some more time with my DG-1000 today and I got a bit more comfortable with it. It is definitely not an agile flyer. Small, steady inputs are the way to go. Large inputs are met with staunch resistence followed by abrupt compliance--like the plane is constantly 2 seconds behind your commands. The best way I've found so far to mostly fly the rudder. It will hold a decent, though not overly tight, thermal turn with rudder, elevator and a hint of opposite aileron. Once locked in it doesn't like to come out again so it also helps to counter-steer a bit when exiting a turn.
Not a bad flyer all in all. Just takes some getting used to.

So I decided to take out the pod controller and just use radio programming to control the pod extend retract and then motor control.
Real simple of course on my SD-10g..
My question is that, people have lost this plane due to a electronic failure, was this due to the pod mixer control or other component?
Just curious.

Who knows-go back and reread the thread.
I lost one, replaced under warranty, when a screw on the pod literally fell apart and the whole thing ate itself.
|Sep 28, 2010, 04:09 PM
The ones I remember sounded like BEC failures--lost of control, smoke--that sort of thing.
|Sep 28, 2010, 04:55 PM
3 times I have "lost control" but it was more of a over speed situation. When this ship gets going too fast the elevator and aileron feel like they quit working. The servo's are not strong enough or the foam just bends from the stress of high speed flight and yes I realize "high speed" for the DG does not really mean high speed.

I purchased one of these planes about two months ago, and have flown it three times. I didn't obviously expect much from a foam dg1000 with up and go for $149, and the quality when it arrived didn't exceed my expectations. However, the plane actually flew quite well - better than expected.
Unfortunately, after the fourth flight today, the cheapness of the construction has born its inevitable fruit. The boom will no longer deploy to the upright position. After investigating the cause, it turns out that the cheap plastic wheel, axle, and axle mount at the bottom of the boom has been bent forward too much from the (negligible) tension of the actuator string. When I hold the wheel in the correct position by using a small screwdriver to correctly hold the axle in position when the boom is activated, it deploys as it should. Without that, the string just bends the axle and wheel forward, and effectively jams the boom from deploying.
I'm not too surprised - as I said, I never had too great of expectations from this system. However, more than four flights would have been nice....

That stinks only 4 flights, I think that programming that pod mixer is critical to ensuring a long life on that pod.
I didnt like the way the mixer worked as I have stated in my earlier posts, I had far more control in my radio and it used the same number of channels.
And my radio has saftey features built in that basically will not run the motor without the pod being out, If anyone is interested in SD-10g configuration for it let me know

That's too bad. Seems these are hit or miss. I've wondered how I would repair the RMS when it goes south. Looks like you'll need to literally saw the foam fuselage in half and extract the parts. Tower hobby doesn't list replacement parts but Hype in Germany does.
My hopes are still high for this little foam flyer scale sailplane, maybe just call it a day, keep the RMS retracted and slope soar it.
|Oct 04, 2010, 01:57 PM
At $123 for a new RMS, I'll just order a new plane. I've repaired my RMS, and hopping the repair holds. If it doesn't, I've learned the in's and out's on this plane, come spring, I'll order a new DG, and have spare parts a plenty.

Yeah, and with the repeated sales from Tower that keep popping up, you can get one to your door for $129 if they're doing free shipping.

Greetings from down under.
This model has been available here for at least 2 years. I had one and literally flew it to
bits. The last flight was a "shot seagull" plunge with a broken spar while power/slope soaring over the sea. Foam, electronics and salt water dont mix !
Loved the DG1000 more for looks than actual flying ability. The rudder was pretty ineffective and the count to 5 before aileron inputs actually had something happening. I built a little rear trim tab extension for the rudder and had a 30% rudder / aileron mix which helped.
The major minus for me was the big change in pitch between motor pod up and
retracted, I think it was 13 clicks of trim either way. On reflection, now as I get to know more about set ups I should have done a elevator/ retract on mix 2.
Replaced with a ST Model ASW 28, upgraded with three cell 10/5 prop conversion as they were available at half the retail price of the DG 1000. But thats for another thread.
Now that DG 1000 is about the same price, may buy another. Gee with pod retracted
and light winds they looked so beaut on a low pass.
Loved the Decal scheme in an earlier post by the way...OK to copy ?
Currently have a Super Dimona Motor Glider , a new Minimoa to sort out (boy was that a handfull on its maiden) and a new Diamond 2500 on the right hand (glider side) of the garage.
Keep the posts going, love to hear of your experiences.

Arkeia 5.2 Network Backup
Product Information.
Vendor: Arkeia
URL: www.arkeia.com
Price: $590–$1,190 US for three to seven computers; larger systems may range up to $20,000 US depending on configuration.
The Good.
Multiple platform.
Centrally scheduled backups.
Hot-backup plugins.
Browseable index of all tapes.
Good documentation.
The Bad.
Non-standard GUI.
Disappearing error messages.
Incomplete context-sensitive help.
We haven't checked on Arkeia since April 1999 (/article/3166), so we thought we'd take another look and see how this software is coming along.
Arkeia Network Backup is a heterogeneous network client/server backup solution using a Linux or UNIX backup server. Client system backup software is available for Linux, as well as a variety of UNIX and UNIX-like OSes, including Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows 98, ME, NT, 2003 and XP.
Plugins are available for hot backup of applications including Oracle, Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, IBM DB2 and MySQL.
Supported backup media include popular SCSI tape drives, libraries and autoloaders.
Arkeia Disaster Recovery, a separate product not reviewed here, provides bare-metal recovery for backed-up Linux clients and servers. Both Network Backup and Disaster Recovery are available for free 30-day demos. A third product, Arkeia Lite, suitable for backing up one Linux server and two desktop systems, is available at no charge.
We reviewed Arkeia 5.2.7 Network Backup, downloaded from www.arkeia.com, along with PDF documentation. The Linux version supports Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 and 3.0, Mandrake 7.2–9.2, Red Hat 6.0–9.0, Slackware 8.0 and SuSE 7.1–9.0.
The documentation, downloaded as a PDF, had about 500 pages of material, enough to be a little intimidating. The shortest document was the Quick Start Guide. I began there.
My bench system's distribution of the day was Debian 3.0. The Debian installation for Arkeia came as a .tar.gz file, not as a Debian package. I unpacked this, cd'd to the top-level directory and then ran install, accepting all defaults.
Next I started xarkeia. Its futuristic design, as shown in Figure 1, takes some getting used to.
Continuing with the Guide's instructions, I set a password for the Arkeia root user and configured and ran a dummy backup. As long as I followed the directions carefully, all went as indicated. At one point I did something out of sequence, attempting to start a backup prior to configuring any tapes. The backup stalled, and I was unable to configure tapes or to abort the backup using the GUI or anything else I knew to do at the time. A note on the support Web site elicited an e-mail response within a half hour, telling me to stop and restart a dæmon. I was then able to proceed. The dummy backup ran without further incident, and initial installation was complete. Arkeia was ready to configure real backups.
Arkeia organizes things using a database where the administrator sets up:
Tape drives.
Drivepacks: groups of similar tape drives.
Tapes: each with its own label and history information.
Tape pools: groups of similar tapes.
Savepacks: groups of files and directories backed up together.
Backups: a backup uses one drivepack to store one savepack in tapes from one tape pool.
Users: a variety of user roles are available, allowing the work of managing backups at a large site to be delegated.
Servers: one installation may extend across multiple backup servers.
Clients: multiple client systems are accommodated per server.
Backups are controlled and scheduled from the backup server. Backups can be manual or automatic, called Periodic by Arkeia. They also can be complete or incremental, an arrangement by which files that have not changed since a baseline are not backed up. Incremental backups are scheduled in a multilevel fashion, with the baseline for a given level being the previous lower-level backup. Backup level is the same for all files in a given periodic backup.
You can schedule any backup to put multiple backups on one tape, filling the tape, or you can start a new tape.
A savepack contains items to be backed up, such as files, databases and directories. One savepack can contain items from multiple hosts. An item can be backed up using a plugin, such as the one for MySQL.
Libraries, stackers and so on have special management interfaces under Arkeia but are configured as sets of drives enrolled in drivepacks. From the point of view of managing a backup itself within Arkeia, there's not much difference between a library and any other collection of drives.

Morning all sun out here this early so better get started plenty of pricking out to do and a few containers to plant. Next weekend it will be starting the hanging baskets which i have 4 look forward to that never done them before and plant some veg in the veg plot.
Thanks Dove that's why i love the garden after my illness i find it so relaxing and therapeutic helps take your mind off the worries in life for sometime.
Morning all it's a good bit cooler this morning but looks like it's going to be a good day not much gardening for me today. To be at hospital for 9am to get my chemo treatment and usually feel a bit sick when get back home late afternoon but there's always Sat &Sun to catch up with the jobs have a good day everyone.
Sorry to hear you got bad news Matty2 please keep your chin up good luck for the future.
Morning all very windy with light rain here in the west of scotland BB i had a geum in a pot last year it's flowers are small orange colour but a nice plant have the name of it written down somewhere just planted it out in my front garden last sat.
chicky am sure both clubs will be delighted with whatever i give them as i know the kids are really keen on gardening and look forward to it every week.
Vedun it will be interesting how these hardy mums get on then got 10 hosta & bleeding heart bare root about 5 weeks ago and they are all have come on great so heres hoping.
Like all gardeners BB but love doing it will give 30 of the tomato plants to my gardening club to sell for funds and 20 into the staff at the school i work at. There's a gardening club at the school so will give them veg and flowers over the next 3 to 6 weeks for there garden cause i will not use them all.
Evening all in from work at half past four and just potted up some plugs i got today and re-potted 60 tomato plants in for tea now then out to plant potatoes in 4 bags.

Gold Glitters
Just a few weeks ago, Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank (ECB), announced that he would do anything required to bailout: the weakest members of the Eurozone and in so doing prevent the euro currency from dissolution. Investors who may have been previously positioning themselves to withstand a euro crisis seem to be anxious to believe that such bold actions will prevent the worst. Consequently, many unwound positions in U.S. dollars and bought back euros. In the wake of the announcement, the euro rose from $1.22 to $1.30.
Two weeks ago, as signs of recession increased, Fed Chairman Bernanke announced he would do anything required to stimulate the U.S. economy, real estate, and the financial markets. Investors, who may have been previously concerned that the U.S. stock market was set for a correction (having risen approximately 20% over the past year), took heart and sent stocks up once again.
But the biggest winners thus far that may have resulted from these newly communicated intentions are not the euro or the broad stock markets but rather gold and gold-related investments.: In fact, in the month of September, gold approached its highest price for this calendar year and came within five or six percentage points of its all time nominal high.: The GDX Index of gold miners increased nearly 12% and hit a six month high.
From my perspective, there are five main reasons that help explain the current attraction to gold.
First, is the perception that central bank activism will spark inflation. Although inflation still is 'officially' low, the size and scope of the printing campaigns just announced is creating an increasingly strong conviction that inflation soon will break out.
Second, with tensions finally ebbing in Europe and with the Federal Reserve now so plainly committed to a policy of quantitative easing, there is an increasing concern that the dollar could trend lower. A weaker dollar would help push up the price for all internationally traded commodities, including gold.
Third, the American government appears to have lost some of its influence on the perceived escalation in Israeli-Iranian tensions. War risk, particularly in the Middle East is rising. In the Pacific, tensions continue to rise dramatically between China and Japan over disputed islands. Gold has traditionally risen during periods of geopolitical uncertainty.
Fourth, central banks that were once huge sellers of gold, such as those of India and Russia, are now accumulating it, together with China. Savvy investors pay close attention to central bank actions.
On the other side of the ledger, there are two important items that normally would indicate a falling gold price. First, the EU, with the second largest economy, and the U.S., with the second economy, together with that of Japan, appear headed for recession. Even the Chinese economy is slowing. The possibility is rising of a worldwide recession, which normally tends to push down asset prices, particularly for stocks dependent on corporate earnings. As stocks fall, margin calls and other demands for cash result in gold holders liquidating portions of their portfolios. Also in recessions, cash becomes increasingly scarce and real assets, including commodities, fall in price. As a commodity, gold should fall in price as recession becomes manifest.
However, some investors may have overlooked an important consideration. Despite falsely low interest rates, most of the trillions of dollars created by the Federal Reserve are sitting in bank deposits or in the bond portfolios of banks. As such, these synthetic funds have not been the cause of significant increases in consumer prices. It is not until the banks start lending on the basis of these vast deposits of funds, will they become an inflationaryfactor.
If recession were to take hold more broadly, those who bought gold as a near-term inflation hedge may become significant sellers as inflation fears take a back seat to margin calls. At some point, if debt problems re-emerge in Europe, the euro's basic viability may be threatened. Simultaneously, continuous action from the Federal Reserve may finally, and justifiably, bring the U.S. dollar under heavier scrutiny. Under such conditions gold may be looked upon as a more reliable store of value than discredited and devalued currencies.

Ken Carroll
See the two birds soar
weightless into wind
floating like two butterflies
forever and ever to ascend
shrinking in sky heavenly blue
blue for me
blue for you
Towards the sun they glide
streaming in summer breeze
effortlessly in undisputed flight
while we stroll beneath in our ease
along this garden path
you pick a flower for me
and I one for you
Soft petals descend into wind
we wish for our own wings to fly
like the gulls above flapping feathers
for now we can only wish and sigh
for this love to carry us away
a feather floats down for me
a soft downy one for you....

Katy Perry might be living a teenage dream, but she doesn't dream of being famous. In the May issue of Teen Vogue, Katy reveals that she's over the excess of fame. "I'm tired of being famous already!" she admits. "But I'm not tired of creating. Fame is, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do. It's quite a delicate creature — it's a wild animal of sorts. It can love you, and then it can attack you."
Thankfully for fans, she's not letting the fame beast get the best of her. This July she's releasing Katy Perry: Part of Me, a 3D concert movie where we'll get an insider's look into her life as a star and experience her Teenage Dream tour. Perry also tells Teen Vogue, "I wanted to document the tour, because when we started to book these really big venues, I felt like I was going all in." She continues, "I wanted to show people this parade that surrounds me … I wanted them to see the engine."
Fans will also see a different side to the Part of Me singer who is currently working on her next album. Katy told The Sun, "My music is about to get real f**king dark." Until then we can look forward to Katy Perry: Part of Me, which will be released Fourth of July weekend.

Craziness is over...
by Sue O'Neil
posted Dec 29 2010 11:25AM
So I spent the holidays in Ohio with my family....awesome to see them.. Hecktic as hell to get there. I do all the cooking, so I dragged my own food, ingredients an pans with me....I know I know..But I need them to do it right. So I cooked my brians out and it seemed like everyone enjoyed it....packed the car to get there with all my food stuff, presents and me and hubbys clothes....then Christmas day we loaded the car back home, unpacked it and repacked it to go to his brothers!had dinner exchanged presents, loaded the car back up, went home and unpacked the car...Neighbors Frank and Tonya invited us over. I went to their house crawled on the coacha dn I was done. I have to admit that not much slows me down..this holiday kicked my butt. Now I'm sick with a sore throat and can't wait to get my tree in the attic and my life back. Hope that doesn't make me a grinch....I'm just ready for my normal boring life! just had some Hot chocolate (diet of course) and am going home to make some spicy Thai soup, take some medicine and get in bed. Amen...All my whining aside....I am truly blessed and have very little to be unhappy about...I guess thats why I can complain about the little things. My wish or the new year is a cure for Prkinson's Disease for my brother, and good health to you and yours...Happy New Year my friends!

Tips for dealing with a newborn and a toddler!
Started by sleeplessmamma , May 01 2012 04:13 PM

Posted 01 May 2012 - 04:13 PM
I have a 20 month old DS and an 11 day old DS2. Luckily I have my dad here helping out this week and my mum next week. After that though Im scared! DP is FANTASTIC but hes back at work, he will go out of his way to help when hes at home but Im a bit worried about the day time.
DS1 has never been a good sleeper, we have to lie down with him for sleeps, fine when DPs here at night, but what about the day? Do I just leave DS2 to cry/whinge while getting DS1 to sleep?
Im still establishing b'feeding with DS2, I had lots of struggles with DS1 and thats happening now too. DS2 seems to like comfort sucking as much as his brother did, but what do I do to make sure DS1 is entertained and not neglected? Ive had the telly on waaaay too much and dont really want to do that.
DS2 has just left his wonderful newborn sleepy stage behind and is entering the world where he wants to be either awake or on my boob or else he SCREECHES! Its hard hard work and I have people helping me!
Also what about meals etc, like I said DP is fantastic but I also want to be able to give him a break!
I know in ~6 weeks to 3 months life will be a little easier but this is what Im living now so help!
Also once my family leave I dont really have any external support (as in family). So its just me and DP.
Posted 01 May 2012 - 04:22 PM
You will survive and it will get easier, and one day they will be great mates, but it can be hard.
My DD2 was like yours and spent about 23 out of 24 hours attached to me. DD1 wanted me to sit with her until she went to sleep, so I sat there feeding DD2 whilst getting DD1 down for a nap. You can try making a lunch box for both you and DS1 whilst your DP is at home, or the night before. Some nights dinner was very simple, maybe just a platter of vegies, fruit, cheese some protein and crackers. Try making some nice soups on the the weekends when you DP is home for eating during the week.
I had to get out every day both for me and DD1, visits to the park and often a long walk in the late afternoon. Try and do shopping on the weekends and just get essentials during the week - accept all offers of help.
Posted 01 May 2012 - 04:26 PM
The first thing I would say is don't drive yourself to guilt by aiming to be everywhere at once. There are times where you will have to leave your older child to grumble and whinge while dealing with your baby and times where you will have to leave your baby crying to deal with your toddler. There is only one of you, do what you can when you can.
I found once BFing was established and DS2 started to feed faster (about 4 weeks old), things became a LOT easier because I wasn't tied to the couch. And when I was tied to the couch, I just made do. We read books, or I had DS1's magnet board ready, or a pile of cheap $2 sticker books etc. Of course I resorted to the TV and for the first month/two months, he watched way too much TV. But my basic philosophy was to do what I can to get through the day and once DS2 became more settled around 2 months of age, his TV was cut back to the usual 1 hour per day.
To be honest, I still struggle with mealtimes, especially dinner during feral hour with toddler fussiness thrown in to boot. I eat with DS1 if I can, otherwise if DS2 is being impossible I just wait until they are both in bed.
Bathing the two of them, I put DS1 in the big bath, then bath DS2 in the baby bath while he splashes around. Dry DS2, then get DS1 out and head to the loungeroom. Plonk DS2 on the mat/swing/bouncer and tend to DS1. Now DS2 has outgrown the baby bath we all climb in the big bath together, get DS2 out to dry him/me etc then get DS1 & head to loungeroom as above. It's messy and usually involves being screeched at by one or both of them, but ultimately it works.
Like you we have no family in the area and DH gets home after they are both in bed for the night. At the end of the day, it pays to sneak in, look at them sleeping soundly and figure I must be doing something right. Hang in there!
ETA- If your baby is like mine and needs to be attached to you ALL the time, invest in a good quality sling/carrier and help save your sanity I swear there were days when DS2 spent most of the day in there.....

Do you have a baby swing? Lifesaver for me, when my DD2 was little. I have an 18mth gap. It's all a bit of a blur I must say. But I'd settle the easiest one first, then attend to the one that might take time. This was generally settling DD2 first as she was quite relaxed. Then I could put my DD1 down for her nap. Actually we used to go out a lot, so my DD2 would nap in pram or car, then we'd get home & DD1 would be tired & nap easily. I'd always prepare easy meals in the morning. Right down to putting frozen veg into a microwave container. I had easy snacks on hand for my toddler & I. I used tv a lot and had DD1 on top of me whilst breastfeeding DD2 a lot, reading books etc. We'd all go in the bath together from when DD2 was a few weeks old. Prior to that I found it too difficult to bath her & manage my toddler on my own. I'd buy a new toy or crayons or stickers whenever I was out. But it went away in a box for when I needed to buy time, actually this worked really well. Often I'd spend only $2. They will cry at the same time, probably multiple times a day. And online groceries omg my best friend! I do my grocery order whilst breastfeeding now (DD2 is 8mths).

Thanks everyone, theres some fantastic tips there. Making a lunchbox the night before is a great idea and DP and I have been talking about being more prepared on the w'ends w food. We have a baby swing and a good sling so must utilise them more I know its going to be great later just painful now! And there goes DS2 woken up by his big brother...

Alcohol. And never leave the baby alone in a room with the toddler even to go to the toilet. Yes, 25 month olds CAN get a baby out of the rocker, fully undress the baby including nappy, and transport the baby into another room, without the baby making a sound, all while you haves quick trip to the loo.
Posted 02 May 2012 - 04:22 PM
I lived by the motto that the worst that can happen to the newborn is that they will cry for a little while, the toddler on the other hand might set fire to your house if left alone!
Posted 02 May 2012 - 04:25 PM
You said you've had the telly on way too much....don't feel guilty as it wont last forever. We bought some movies and playschool DVDs. I hate to admit it but Cars was played and watched three times one day very early on in the piece. Five months on and it's restricted to playschool in the morning and if I'm about to lose my mind.
I now meal plan and always have fruit on hand for snacks which cuts evening chaos by a tiny bit. I get prepared for dinner during afternoon nap and the toddler helps 'chopping' veges or doing dishes and the like to keep him occupied during the actual cooking. It can get messy and wet but at least he's not clawing at my legs and grizzling.
I found feeding the new baby with toddler crawling all over me difficult so I tried to talk to him about when he was a little baby or get him to bring things for me to look at.
I have a generous glass of wine of an evening after the bedtime feed

Antiretroviral therapy for prevention of HIV transmission in HIV-discordant couples

Antiretroviral drugs have been shown to reduce risk of mother-to-child transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and are also widely used for post-exposure prophylaxis for parenteral and sexual exposures. Observational data, ecological studies and models suggest that sexual transmission may be lower in couples in which one partner is infected with HIV and the other is not and the infected partner is on antiretroviral therapy (ART).
To determine if ART use in an HIV-infected member of an HIV-discordant couple is associated with lower risk of HIV transmission to the uninfected partner compared to untreated discordant couples.
Search strategy
We used standard Cochrane methods to search electronic databases and conference proceedings with relevant search terms without limits to language.
Selection criteria
Randomised controlled trials, cohort studies and case-control studies of HIV-discordant couples in which the HIV-infected member of the couple was being treated or not treated with ART
Data collection and analysis
Abstracts of all trials identified by electronic or bibliographic scanning were examined independently by two authors. We initially identified 1814 references and examined 23 in detail for study eligibility. Data were abstracted independently using a standardised abstraction form.
Main results
Seven observational studies and no randomised controlled trials were included in the review. These seven studies identified 436 episodes of HIV transmisison, 71 among treated couples and 365 among untreated couples. The summary rate ratio for all seven studies was 0.34 [95% CI 0.13, 0.92], with substantial heterogeneity (I
Authors' conclusions
ART appears to be a potent intervention for prevention of HIV in discordant couples. However, the most important question from a clinical standpoint is whether being in a serodiscordant sexual relationship and having >350 CD4 cells/µL should be an indication for ART. In our analysis, there were broad confidence intervals in this subgroup, overlapping the null hypothesis of no effect. There is currently one large randomised controlled trial in the field, whose results are scheduled to be ready in 2015. Significant questions remain about durability of protection, when to start treating an infected partner (for instance, at diagnosis or at a specific CD4 level) and transmission of ART-resistant strains to partners.
Plain language summary
Antiretroviral therapy for prevention of HIV transmission in HIV-discordant couples
Antiretroviral drugs may prevent transmission of HIV from an infected sexual partner to an uninfected one by suppressing viral replication. We found seven observational studies that had examined this question. Overall we found that in couples in which the infected partner was being treated with antiretroviral drugs the uninfected partners had more than 5-times lower risk of being infected than in couples where the infected partner was not receiving treatment. Since WHO already recommends antiretroviral treatment for all persons with ≤350 CD4 cells/µL, we also examined studies that had looked at partners with CD4 counts higher than this level. We found that there was inconclusive evidence that in this group HIV was less likely to be transmitted. A large randomised trial is currently being conducted, and a more definitive answer should be available by 2015.

Dru Sjodin case prompts changes in law, society
PEQUOT LAKES, Minn. – "I don't try to dwell on the horror of how Dru was taken," Linda Walker said last week from her home here. "I try to deal more in what I can do to help change even a small part of what's happening."
It will be 10 years on Friday since the kidnapping and murder of her daughter, University of North Dakota student Dru Sjodin, by Alfonso Rodriguez, a high-risk sex offender living in Crookston at the time.

Best Uses
Comments about SOHO Pro Highlighter Brush, 1 each:
The description says can be used for foundation or blush/highlighting but I would only use this for highlighting and blush. It's a little too "floppy" for foundation. But as a blush brush or a highlighting brush it's great. Deposits a nice diffused amount of color and helps to blend it out.**I received this product as a gift.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

ILSAN, South Korea, April 2- General Motors Co on Thursday said its labor costs have risen nearly 50 percent over the past five years in South Korea, where it makes nearly one-fifth of its global output, but that it does not plan to shut any of its four plants there. That fueled analyst expectations about reduction in South Korea, where the U.S. automaker has flagged...» Read More
Volkswagen aims to more than triple annual car sales in the United States to more than 1 million a year by 2018, according to the Wall Street Journal on Monday, citing VW's top U.S. executive.
Here we go again. Oil is spiking higher (over $107 a barrel) and the folks in the auto industry are once again projecting that $4 a gallon gas may be here this summer. It's sparking a new round of discussion about whether this will prompt people to change their driving habits or the type of cars/trucks/SUVs people will buy.
After numerous road trips over the last week and half, it's been a while since I had a chance to share some of your e-mails about my recent blogs. And boy have some of them touched a nerve. On VW's turnaround plan, a number of you are skeptical. Glen told me, "Phil..it's all about "R.E.L.I.A.B.I.L.I.T.Y !!!!!!! Tell the new North American CEO to improve on that!!"
European markets closed lower every day except for Wednesday, with the financial stocks taking an especially hard battering on continued concerns over the state of the U.S. economy.
When you think of Volkswagen, what pops into your mind? Let me guess: the Beetle, Microbus, and Jetta all bring a smile to your face. Then it fades as you think about the Touareg, Phaeton, and a company that often appears lost. I call it the split personality of VW.
It was all about beautiful cars and gorgeous girls as CNBC took to the ground for the 78th Geneva Motor Show, where automakers revealed their latest models, concept cars and technical and environmental innovations for 2008.
American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings said Wednesday it plans to return to the bargaining table with striking workers, signaling movement in a strike that has shuttered plants and cut vehicle production at General Motors.
Here's something that should make you realize what crazy times we are living in: 9-year auto loans are popping up around the country. That's right, it wasn't a typo. Nine years! 108 months! Almost a third of the time used to pay off a conventional mortgage!
General Motors said Tuesday it will close a seventh facility next week as the impact from a strike against American Axle & Manufacturing continues to widen for the No. 1 U.S. automaker.
Amid the gloomy comments from auto executives at the Geneva Motor Show, the unveilings of several important new models are being overshadowed. Take the new Ford Fiesta. This compact car is being sold in Europe, but the design cues and architecture behind this car will be the underpinnings of compact cars the automaker will roll out in the U.S. in the future.
We knew they would be bad, and they were. In fact, February auto sales make it clear, the consumer is tired, nervous, worried: you-fill-in-the-adjective. Look at the numbers: GM down 16.7 percent (including trucks down more than 22 percent)
Ford Motor said Monday it would eliminate shifts at four U.S. plants and lay off some 2,500 workers -- or almost 5 percent of its remaining work force -- as part of an effort to cut costs and return to profitability next year.
European stocks closed lower across the board Monday, despite recovering form earlier lows, with banks suffering the worst of the selling on continued concerns over the state of the U.S. economy.
Later today, the February auto sales will come out. By all accounts, the numbers will likely be awful. Not just lower, but in the words of one industry veteran, "terrible." We'll have to wait and see what the actual numbers are, but I won't be surprised to see industry sales down 10 percent.
German sports car maker Porsche will increase its 31 percent voting stake in Volkswagen to a majority but does not intend to merge the two carmakers, Porsche said on Monday.
German carmaker Volkswagen said on Monday it would raise its stake in Swedish truckmaker Scania to 68.6 percent, a move that may lead to a merger of Scania and German truckmaker MAN.
We've all done it. When we've gone looking to buy a new car, we get a price on a model or two and then we think to ourselves, "Ok, THIS is what this car is going to cost me." Now we may need to re-think that approach.
They've done it again. The Asian automakers, especially the Japanese dominate the latest Consumer Reports survey (subscription needed for full reports) on auto reliability. Of the 33 models CR picked to be "most reliable," 23 are from Japanese automakers. Some, like the Toyota Prius, we've come to expect to see on the list.
Later today we'll find out if the time, money and effort the Big 3 have put into building more reliable cars and trucks has paid off. Consumer Reports releases its 2008 auto reliability survey and the question for many is: Are the Big 3 finally getting their act together?
Ford Motor expects to produce 685,000 vehicles in North America during the first quarter of 2008, 55,000 fewer than the first three months of last year, the company said in a report filed Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

I found this gun listed as a Western Field 16 Gauge Pump which I believe to be a Stevens 520. Can anyone confirm this? For less then $100 I can't go wrong, I just want to make sure I'm getting what I think I am.

I THINK the 520 had a "humpback" receiver. This is a link to the cross reference page at numrich- you will need the Westernfield model number- but scroll down- there were a lot of guns made by Mossberg, Savage, marlin, etc. for the Westernfield name.
