Eye Definer is a standard pencil eyeliner whose performance is a mixed bag. On the positive side, it applies easily and the color glides on without any pulling. However, it's not long before that color starts moving around and fading.
The claim is that these eyeliners are "formulated using natural conditioning waxes and emollient oils." That may sound good in theory, but in practice those ingredients equate to a smudgy mess. Call us picky, but, whether a pencil, liquid, gel, or powder, we prefer our eyeliner to stay put!
For better options, many of which are less expensive, check out our Best Products.
Strengths: Great highlighting lotion and powder; some good foundations; selection of lip color products, including Lip Velvet.
Weaknesses: Inconsistent eyeshadow quality; limited shade selection in complexion products; Burberry Beauty has poor in-store and online availability, items are often out-of-stock for long periods of time; strong, pervasive fragrance is an issue in several products.
British fashion house Burberry has a long history, dating back to 1856 when the company opened its first store in Basingstoke, England. Initially specializing in outerwear, Burberry is credited with creating the first true "trench coat" for the British military in the early 1900s, which quickly gained popularity with the general public after World War I. In the years since their trench coat became a fashion staple, Burberry has become a global brand, and now has stores all over the world. In 2010, Burberry, taking a cue from other high fashion brands such as Armani and Chanel, launched its own line of cosmetics—Burberry Beauty.
Burberry Beauty's lineup of products is relatively small compared to those of competing designer brands, but it includes all the basics: foundation, concealer, eyeshadow, lipstick, and blush. Unfortunately, many of the Burberry Beauty products have better packaging than performance, and definitely more style than substance. The bottles, compacts, and various cases look very high-end, with each product featuring the iconic Burberry "check plaid," a pattern the company began using as its signature in the 1920s. Unfortunately, iconic brand symbols and pretty packaging don't necessarily make for great makeup.
Despite its designer pedigree, Burberry Beauty is sadly mediocre—especially given its heritage and price point. If a designer name holds more allure for you when shopping for makeup, then Dior, Chanel, or Armani are all much better options.

Florida State Seminoles: Football Recruiting
On The Trail Show: Saivion Smith commitment
Class rankings: Dec. 10 update
Alabama, which has already signed three consecutive No. 1 classes, has occupied the top spot in the 2015 rankings since its release. Knocking the Crimson Tide's class, which features 17 ESPN 300 prospects, from the top spot might not be impossible, but it remains a tough task. Despite recently losing a commitment from ESPN 300 WR Daylon Charlot, Bama quickly rebounded, adding a verbal from No. 5 OLB Adonis Thomas. The four-star is reminiscent of 2014 Crimson Tide signee Christian Miller, and possesses excellent size and speed measurables in a hybrid OLB/DE skillset and the versatile defender should fit very well in their base 3-4 defense.
The team that could eventually push Alabama for the top class is Florida State after five-star Josh Sweat picked the Seminoles. FSU, which has had some success recruiting defensive linemen in Virginia with Derrick Nnadi in 2014 and Darvin Taylor II in this class, landed a big commitment in the one-time No. 1 overall prospect Sweat. The No. 2 defensive end is an outstanding athlete with a wonderful combination of speed and power and he can be a versatile and disruptive defender in the Seminoles defense. The current No. 5 player overall in the ESPN 300 was sidelined with a knee injury during his senior season and that could slow initial contributions, but the talented defender is an early enrollee and still possesses great upside with the potential to be an impact player while Tallahassee. The addition of the five-star helped the Seminoles to move into the No. 2 spot in the class rankings.
Inside the rankings
The most difficult thing to do in recruiting is project what a player will be three to five years down the line and perhaps no coach in America does it better than TCU's Gary Patterson. The value of having coached at the mid-major level prior to making the jump to the Big 12 has provided this staff with valuable insight and evaluation tools when it comes to developing players who predominantly will be graded in the 77-82 range for just about all their classes. This was particularly true in the 2012-2014 classes.
This includes players like former WR Josh Boyce (who was lightly recruited) as well as freshman Emmanuel Porter just to name a couple. For TCU, it is about getting the right player -- does he work hard, will he compete and does he have upside in his physical development? Those are the three key things to each TCU class. The other undervalued area that has set the Horned Frogs apart is the staff's ability to project a player at a different position than the one he played in high school. Former TCU great Jerry Hughes was a running back, current safety Sam Carter was a quarterback, OC Joey Hunt was a DT and current starting QB Trevone Boykin was a wide receiver/QB athlete that had to transition to playing QB fulltime.

On The Trail Show (noon ET)
CommitCast replay: Tarvarus McFadden
Which top schools play freshmen most?
"Now it's 'I want to play,' " Addazio, 55, said. "If you're talking about not playing them early, the majority are like 'What do you mean?'"
So, the ability to play or possibly even start as a true freshman has become a regular sales pitch for coaches from the Power Five to the Group of Five. It's certainly a tool in the belt for Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher. Last week, Fisher alluded to the number of freshmen All-Americans he's coached the last four seasons. Twenty-four hours later, it was on the program's official recruiting Twitter page.
"The last [four] years we've had 14 freshmen All-Americans," said Fisher, condensing multiple outlets' freshmen award teams into one, concise Florida State propaganda poster. "If you come in ready to play, we're willing to put you on the field. It's critical for guys to come in saying 'When I'm the best, I'll play.'"
Fisher has the goods to back up his claims, even if the numbers are obviously skewed to best represent his program. But how does his résumé compare to those coaching some of the country's other top programs?
I tried to come up with a way to accurately discern which schools play the most freshmen and decided true freshmen letterwinners was the simplest and most effective way to crunch the numbers. To earn a letter, a player has to actually play consistently through the season. The disclaimer is each program can use different benchmarks when awarding letters, but there is never going to be a perfect way.
I began with Florida State's, looking back at the 2011-2013 classes. To properly quantify the data from Florida State, I decided I'd look at the five schools ranked highest in the preseason polls that have had its coach in place at least five seasons. Oregon's Mark Helfrich was offered an exemption because he was promoted from within and is in his sixth season with the Ducks. Coaches in place at least five years was the stipulation since an incoming coach might be susceptible to playing the prospects he recruited or having a number of transfers that could open up starting or rotational spots.
The criteria: Each class was looked at and the total number of signees was pared down to just those who enrolled as members of the football team in the fall. Junior college signees were excluded, as were any recruits who were academically or medically disqualified before playing a game. That explains why the total number of freshmen for our purposes might look different than what might be seen on RecruitingNation. Any true freshmen who spent a year at a post-graduate or prep school was also excluded. Redshirt freshmen were disqualified, too.
Bottom line is if the player was not a part of the football team the fall following his high school graduation, he was excluded.
Nearly all of the data was collected after poring through media guides and archives, although the communications departments at some of the schools were also helpful providing numbers and deserve recognition.
So, here is the actual data:
It is hardly a coincidence that Fisher and Alabama's Nick Saban, who mentored Fisher at LSU, have identical percentages of true freshmen earning a letter. Fisher and Saban arguably have been the two best recruiters over the last few cycles, and, the data shows those two are not going to keep young talent off the field simply because of age. Nearly half of the true freshmen at Alabama and Florida State lettered over the last three seasons.
Mark Dantonio has built Michigan State into a national title contender in a different manor, relying on experience. Only 12 percent of true freshmen lettered over the last three seasons. Recruiting to Michigan State is not the easy task it is at some other top-10 programs, and the Spartans are not recruiting as many ESPN 300-level players as the likes of Alabama and Florida State.
It should be noted Michigan State, Oklahoma and Oregon don't have quite the recruiting base Alabama and Florida State do.
Inquiring minds want to see how that 45 percent stacks up to some of the other top programs in the country, so even though they did not fit the criteria I looked at a few other schools with coaches in place at least five seasons and lately in the top half of the rankings. LSU was worth a look considering it's Les Miles' 10th season in Baton Rouge and, like Fisher and Saban, has recruited exceptionally well for a long period of time. Mark Richt is in his 14th season at Georgia and, like Miles, usually has a highly-regarded recruiting class. Steve Spurrier is in his 10th season at South Carolina and has steadily improved the Gamecocks' class to the point that the 2015 class is No. 5 nationally. Dabo Swinney has turned Clemson from a perennial disappointment into a two-time BCS bowl participant. And Ohio State and Texas A&M, mainly because it's worth seeing how third-year Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer fares considering he frequently voices his preference to avoid redshirting. Kevin Sumlin is also in the process of trying to build an SEC power that can compete with Alabama and LSU in the SEC West.
For the Buckeyes, out of the 69 true freshmen to land in Columbus, Ohio, from 2011-2013, 31 lettered -- the same 45 percent. Looking at just Meyer's two seasons, however, he is decimals ahead of Fisher and Saban at 46 percent (21 out of 46), thanks in large part to 14 freshmen letterwinners in his first season.
Georgia's Mark Richt has a percentage of nearly 50 percent, but the Bulldogs' numbers might be the most skewed. Along with South Carolina, the Bulldogs had several recruits that either did not qualify or spent time at a prep school or junior college. Also, Georgia's long list of dismissals and transfers is well documented, and all of the departures has opened up spots for freshmen to earn immediate playing time.
It is Miles, though, who plays a higher percentage of freshmen than all of the others. Twelve true freshmen lettered for LSU in both 2012 and 2013, and another nine earned a letter in 2011. There were a total of 65 applicable freshmen to enter LSU during that span and 33 of them lettered. That's a percentage of 51 percent.
Certainly the numbers will fluctuate year to year, and coaches at every single program are playing freshmen more frequently than ever before. When taking into account the timeline is over three years, LSU averages just one more freshman letterwinner per season than Alabama and Florida State. For our intents and purposes, though, the data shows which top programs consistently play the most freshmen in this new era of freshmen phenoms.
And, uh, FYI, Alabama has 19 ESPN 300 players prepping for their freshmen season this fall. LSU has 16, and Florida State isn't far off with 13 of their own.
Uncommitted Elite 11 QBs talk recruiting
The Opening: Five with the most to gain
The Opening presented by Nike Football will take place July 7-10 at Nike World Headquarters in Oregon, with 162 of the nation's top high school football prospects set to compete. With four days of dynamic training, coaching and competition among the best of the best, The Opening is the perfect chance for recruits in the Class of 2015 to make big jumps and shine on the national stage.
Here are five prospects with the most to gain at the prestigious event:

Scene & Heard: Summer camp updates
July 1 could be a big day for the Oregon Ducks. After narrowly missing out on five-star quarterback Kyler Murray and then QB Blake Barnett (No. 56 in the ESPN 300), No. 141 Travis Waller is set to announce with the Ducks and Notre Dame considered the top two. After being considered a lean to Notre Dame in recent weeks, a June 21 offer by Oregon is a potential game-changer. With the offer to Waller, Oregon is in position to not get left out of the quarterback sweepstakes in 2015. The Ducks offered No. 89 Sam Darnold on June 16 following Barnett's pledge to Alabama. With the offer to Waller five days later, they have a very good chance to snag one of the two remaining top quarterback prospects on the West Coast.
ESPN 300 No. 226 Sage Hardin will announce his decision Friday at 6 p.m. via Twitter (@SageHardin75). While the athletic offensive tackle hasn't been tipping his hand in regards to a favorite, he did tell RecruitingNation on Wednesday night that Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee, California, Miami (Fla.), Georgia Tech and NC State are in the running. The Georgia offer June 16 was a huge one for the Atlanta-area prospect, as was the offer from Tennessee June 17. The Hurricanes have placed the full court press on Hardin, and a June 7 unofficial visit to NC State impressed more than anticipated. There are family connections to Virginia, but the uncertainty of the Cavaliers' future is cause for concern. This one is likely to come down to the home state Bulldogs, the Volunteers and Cavaliers with Georgia having gained the most mention since offered 11 days ago.
Three-star safety P.J. Locke has announced that he will make his commitment on July 1 at Beaumont Central High. He has a final 10 school list of Arizona State, Baylor, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Oregon, Penn State, Stanford, TCU, UCLA and Wake Forest. Since an early June unofficial visit to Eugene, the Ducks have been the team trending with Baylor and TCU working hard to try to keep the physical safety in-state.
ESPN 300 No. 63 Abdul Bello had plans to make a number of summer camps, and for the first time see college programs outside the Sunshine State. The plans changed in early June with Bello taking summer school classes. After only having the time to attend Florida camp in early June, Bello and his coach are currently working to scheduled July trips to LSU and Auburn, along with a trip to Florida State and likely back to Gainesville for Friday Night Lights.
Florida State will hold its annual July camp on the 16th through 18th. Although the Class of 2015 will be the main focus of the Seminoles' camp, the top prospect in attendance may well be 2016 quarterback Malik Henry. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Henry will be in Tallahassee and is scheduled to work out all three days of the camp. Henry is at the top of the quarterback board for Florida State in 2016, and is also at the top of the board for UCLA with the hometown Bruins having had the full court press on Henry for months already.
No. 48 Richard McBryde continues to have Auburn in front with Miami (Fla.), Florida and Alabama in the mix. The Under Armour All-America Game selection said Thursday that Auburn is recruiting him the hardest, and is pushing him to commit. With that said, McBryde said he hopes to make unofficial visits to Miami (Fla.) and/or Florida. McBryde said the pressure from Auburn to commit does not hurt the Tigers, but shows how much they value him as a player.
Four-star athlete Shaquery Wilson continues to have Georgia on top of his list followed closely by Arkansas. The month of July will prove to be impactful in the wide receiver and cornerback prospect's recruitment. Wilson is scheduled to camp at Alabama for three days in July at wide receiver, and an offer would definitely be a game-changer. Wilson will also attend Dawg Night in July, as well as make unofficial visits to Tennessee and Auburn.
In the Class of 2016, cornerback Trayvon Mullen has enjoyed about as impressive of a week as is possible, picking up offers from Alabama and LSU on the same day, as well as getting offers from Wisconsin and Ohio State on Thursday. While the Crimson Tide's offer is a big one, a May offer from Clemson was just as big because the 6-foot-2, long-armed corner has been a Tigers fan for a few years.

IMG 7v7 National Championship standouts
ATH Deon Cain
Committed to Clemson
ESPN 300 rank: 25
Cain helped lead his team, Unsigned Preps from Tampa, to the championship game with several acrobatic catches. The trio of Cain, Ray Ray McCloud III and junior-to-be wide receiver Nate Craig proved to be too much for teams to handle. Cain is solidly committed to Clemson and said he is not considering any other schools at this time.

Committed to Florida State
ESPN 300 rank: 26
James is known for his physical play, but he showed he is more than just a big hitter. James broke up several passes and just always seemed to be around the ball. Like Cain, he is solid with his commitment, but in this case to the Seminoles.
CB Iman Marshall

ESPN 300 rank: 20
Marshall played wide receiver and defensive back for his team, B2G, and excelled at both. The four-star prospect teamed with another ESPN 300 receiver, Trent Irwin, to form a dangerous pass-catching combo. Marshall is still narrowing his choices but knows he will take visits in the fall to Florida State and Notre Dame.

Things to know about the 2015 ESPN 300
The 2015 edition of the ESPN 300 debuts today. Uncommitted defensive tackle Trenton Thompson tops the first batch of rankings. Here are 10 things to know about the initial 2015 ESPN 300:
2. Defensive line dominates: Six of the top 10 2015 prospects and eight of the 16 five-star prospects are defensive linemen. There are 22 defensive linemen in the top 100 and 48 in the top 300. When looking for the states to find the top DL prospects, Georgia tops the list with eight, followed by Virginia with five and South Carolina and North Carolina with four each.
3. O Canada: Jumping into the ESPN 300 at No. 186 is Canadian defensive tackle prospect Neville Gallimore. The 6-foot-3, 280-pound stand-up defensive end projects as a defensive tackle and has offers from Oklahoma, Florida, Michigan State, Ohio State and others. He is the first prospect who is playing high school football in Canada at the time of his ranking to be listed in the ESPN 300. Michael O'Connor, No. 132 in the 2014 rankings, is from Canada but played his final two years of high school in the U.S.
4. Players off the board quickly: To date, 152 prospects in the ESPN 300 have committed. As expected, the SEC leads the way with 65 ESPN 300 prospects, led by Alabama's 15. The SEC West has 40 of the pledges.
5. Sunshine statement: The state of Florida leads the way with 52 prospects in the ESPN 300, including six five-star prospects. Dade and Broward counties combine to claim 16 of the 52 players. This number further illustrates the continuing importance of the state to recruiting, as does the fact that 44 former Florida high school players were taken in the 2014 NFL draft.
6. Tidal wave: With 15 ESPN 300 prospects committed, Alabama currently has 52 ESPN 300-ranked players in the past three classes, following 19 in 2014 and 18 in 2013. Including ESPN 150 players in 2011 and 2012, the Crimson Tide have 76 prospects in the 300 and 150 combined in the past five years.
7. Peach State trending: There are 34 prospects from Georgia in the 2015 ESPN 300. That number is up from 27 in the final 2014 rankings and 30 in 2013. Only Florida and Texas (42 ESPN 300 players) have more prospects in the 2015 300. The strength of the state is on the lines, with 18 of the 34 being offensive and defensive linemen.
8. Familiar last names: Vanderbilt quarterback commit Kyle Shurmur is the son of Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur. No. 1 quarterback and five-star QB Kyler Murray is the son of former Texas A&M quarterback Kevin Murray. No. 22 Shy Tuttle is the nephew of former Clemson standout and first-round NFL draft pick Perry Tuttle. No. 95 Kahlil McKenzie is the son of former Tennessee standout and current Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie.
9. California QBs: The state's nine ranked signal-callers are by far the most from one state in the three years since the rankings were expanded to 300. In the 2013 class, the state of California had six QBs in the 300.
10. Remember the name: Quarterback Sam Darnold is the highest-ranked newcomer to the 300 at No. 89. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Darnold missed the majority of his junior season with a fractured foot and just began popping onto the national recruiting radar during the spring evaluation period. He has offers from Northwestern, Utah, Wake Forest and Duke, among others.

We had a lovely stay in Waterville. The house was huge, clean and in near two amazing golf courses. Owner was very kind and helpfull. If you have kids: be aware of internet use. The internet card Mary bought you runs out fast when your kids watch video's through the internet. We know now...
This home in Waterille was a fantaststic place for our group to base or golf trip to Ireland. We put 6 adults in the house and had no issues with privacy or space. The house is clean and bright and we all felt very welcome in the home. Mary was great and gave us a warm Irish welcome and made sure everything was in order for our group. Definately like to go back.
My wife and three adult children spent a truly enjoyable week in this splendidly-furnished and equipped house in Waterville on the Kerry coast. Just a five-minute walk from the centre of Waterville village, it was just what we had hoped for and were expecting from the listing, only more so. We enjoyed good weather but were (almost!) wishing it had been colder so that we could have made use of the open fire, for which our very helpful but inobtrusive hostess, Mary, had supplied a good stock of turf and logs.
The village caters very well for visitors, with a number of good bars and restaurants (we enjoyed our meals at An Corcan, Sheilin and the Butler's Arms), tennis courts and two small but well-stocked grocery stores. We travelled around part of the Ring of Kerry and the Skellig Ring, visiting Caherdaniel and Derrynane, Ballinskelligs (beautiful beach), Portmagee and Clochancanuig beach (good for surfers). We also fished on Lough Currane (no success but great views of the surrounding mountains) and travelled to Dingle for the day to visit friends - a bit of a trek but worth it.
We would definitely recommend this house to friends and very much hope to visit again ourselves.
Thank you, Mary, for a great week.
Lynn Williams
We just returned from a week in this lovely house and are looking at dates already to see when we can return. It was the perfect holiday rental, well appointed, comfortable, well laid out and really spacious. I would highly recommend it for families especially or groups of friends. You won't want to leave.
While looking for a place to stay on the Kerry coast for the week, I came to the conclusion that there are not a lot of premium properties on offer. For our family the prime considerations are modern property, plenty of space, a few restaurants in walking distance, washing and drying facilities and internet access. Thankfully I found this house!
From the description we could see that this offered all we needed, but it wasn't until we had settled into the house that the full benefits of the house were clear. On top of the requisite we got four large bedrooms in a very quiet, but very accessible spot in town. Under floor heating and a real fire for the chilly first few days and a large garden for when the weather turned better later in the week. The place was immaculate and Mary had gone out of her way to make sure that all you needed in the house was there.
Waterville is an ideal base, positioned in the most beautiful part of the Ring of Kerry but less than a hour drive from Killarney and the mountains. We did most of the ring, Dingle, Killarney and managed a trip to Tralee as well. As always in Ireland the weather can make or break the holiday and we were very lucky there, but it would be difficult to be dispirited if you had to spend time indoors!
Thanks Mary for you and the house making our stay special. If want a house on the Kerry coast you would be mad to look anywhere else.
The property is pretty new and in great condition. There was plenty of space and Mary (owner) was wonderful. She answered all our questions quickly and accurately during the selection and was very helpful in narrowing down the shortlist of properties.
On arrival, even though it was late, she met us at the property and made sure we had everything we needed, even checking back with us the next day.
The venue was perfect for our needs. Waterville is very peaceful and the cottage is well situated. There are beautiful drives in all directions and a lot to do and see. The windy mountain roads are gorgeous, but not for the faint of heart! From the cottage, you can walk into town for a bite from a selection of restaurants, pop over to the local inn to watch a game of rugby, or stroll down to the beach. For fishermen, the local sea trout run is superb and many pubs sport trophy fish mounted and displayed. There are several grocery stores in close proximity, one in walking distance and several others a 15 minute drive away.
I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting the true Irish village experience.
Waterville is a unique village in the southwest of Ireland. It has achieved a worldwide reputation for luxury location for the active holidaymaker. With two championship golf courses, the Kerryway walking trails, some the richest angling fishing locations in Europe, a vast selection of water sports and a significant selection of historic sites and scenery.
Golf: *******A follow up to the Ryder Cup 2006*******
Two major championship golf courses in Waterville are within five minutes drive. A paradise for the active golfer, with the second golf course now playing at Waterville headland at a green fee of €50 Summer season. First full year opened 2006.
Waterville championship Links course (Woods, Omeara members... their Irish training course annually prior to the British Open).
Two full sets of men's golf clubs available for use by guests of the house, 1 Taylormade and 1 Cleevland TA 7s.

As of Friday, October 4, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY — An Albany motorcyclist was hospitalized with injures early Friday morning when he was rammed from behind by another vehicle, police officials say.
Derik Weston, 23, was driving his motorcycle west on East Oglethorpe Boulevard before 4 a.m. when he was struck from behind by an Isuzu SUV driven by Lashon Johnson, 23, according to a report issued by Phyllis Banks, spokeswoman for the Albany Police Department,.
Johnson told officers he'd been looking at his dashboard and heard a "boom" when he struck the motorcycle, Banks said. Weston was thrown from the motorcycle, the report states, and landed in a grassy section of the median between west and eastbound lanes.
Weston received scratches and abrasions in the wreck and afterward complained of having "pain all over," Banks said. According to the report, Weston was transported to the emergency room at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital for treatment.
Officials say Johnson has been charged with following too closely, having no driver's license on his person and having no insurance.

A two-vehicle accident on Main Street early Saturday morning, September 20, closed a section of the road to through traffic for about two hours as police, fire, and environmental crews investigated the collision and worked to clean up an estimated 100-gallon diesel fuel spill caused by the crash. A 2014 Hyundai Veloster being driven north on Main Street crossed the line and crashed into a 2014 International tractor-trailer truck, and punctured the truck's external fuel tank. Hook & Ladder firefighters responded to the accident, as did a DEEP spill inspector. About ten hours later, emergency crews were reactivated after some West Street residents smelled diesel fuel, which was then found floating on the surface of a stream that passes through their neighborhood.

This month will see sailing yacht Tara circumnavigate the Arctic Ocean via the Northeast and Northwest passages, representing a scientific and academic adventure covering 25,000 kms and lasting 6 months. This international expedition will be in partnership with countries bordering the Arctic Ocean as well as in association with the Prince Albert II de Monaco Foundation and agnès b.
All the scientists and institutes involved in the Tara Oceans 2009-2012 expedition will participate, along with Canadian & Russian laboratories specializing in Arctic research.
During the Tara Oceans Expedition 2009-2012, only the Arctic Ocean was missing in our effort to collect plankton from all the world's oceans. There is therefore great interest in comparing biodiversity in the Arctic with other oceanic regions, especially in the context of the major transformations taking place. In fact, the summer of 2012 marked the most extensive Arctic ice melt ever observed.
The Tara Oceans Polar Circle 2013 research will be conducted around the borders of the ice pack where planktonic activity is the most important.
In addition to this global biological approach, oceanographic and chemical analyses specific to the Arctic will be undertaken. The aim is to understand the vulnerability of polar biodiversity in the face of human activity; how melting of the ice pack impacts the polar marine ecosystem and what types of pollution come into play in these remote areas.
Several key factors assure the success of this expedition. The scientific team has been working together since 2009. Their collective expertise and overall ecosystem approach, the availability of existing equipment, and Tara Expeditions' experience in polar environment logistics are also invaluable assets.
This mission will contribute to the international effort to study the Arctic ecosystem before a probable climate change. It will provide baseline data on the ecological status of Arctic waters, and help identify issues concerning the future development of this region.
Tara Expeditions will also use its presence to inform the public, politicians and the business world about the most urgent environmental issues in the Arctic, as well as problems faced by the people who inhabit the Arctic Circle. For some, the opening of maritime routes is an economic asset but for others, this development has an environmental risk. Sustainable development in the Arctic is definitely in question.

– Plankton nets
– Special net for collecting surface plastic
– CTD rosette (pressure, temperature, conductivity, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorescence, optical properties of water)
– FlowCAM to count and characterize plankton
– Flow Cytobot (underwater) to count and characterize plankton
– UVP (Underwater Video Profiler) to characterize zooplankton, large particles and their vertical distribution
– AC-s spectrophotometer for continuous pigment and particle distribution measurement at the ocean's surface (coordinated with satellite ocean color imaging)
– Retrodiffusion device to characterize surface material (linked with ocean color satellite)
– Cytofluorimeter able to determine small groups of organisms by size and fluorescence
– Spectrofluorimeter ALFA capable of continuous measurement of fluorescent organisms at the ocean's surface
– UltraPath spectrophotometer able to characterize optical properties of dissolved material
– PAR radiometer, measuring the luminescence of photosynthesis
– A journalist will be constantly on board Tara yacht to cover the expedition via texts, video and photos for the internet and social networks.
– Media partnerships
– Tara Journal at the end of the expedition
– Production of TV programs
– Tara Junior educational program
Tara Oceans Expedition global approach. Its goal is to compare the plankton and physico-chemistry of the Arctic with data collected in other oceans during the Tara Oceans expedition (2009-2012):
– Study of drifting plastic and air pollutants in the Arctic
– Study of ocean color, composition and pigments of surface particles for NASA by the University of Maine, USA
– Study of spring plankton blooms at the edge of the ice pack, conducted by the Université Laval, Quebec
– Collaboration with the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology (Moscow) and the Russian Arctic National Park
As of today, only 2 sailboats have circumnavigated the Arctic Ocean.
Several types of risks can be identified: natural and technical. Natural hazards include the unpredictable weather, and the formidable presence of ice. Although the period of thaw gets longer almost every year, the window of passage (before the ice closes in again) is short and doesn't leave much room for the unexpected. Temperatures will be between -10°C and +5°C when expedition yacht Tara sails beyond the Arctic Circle from July to October. Daylight will predominate in the Russian Arctic, and will gradually turn into clear nights lasting 12 hours starting late August. Tara will undergo some adaptations to protect the workspaces and scientific equipment from the cold.

- NoNukeThis project is base on the International Nuclear Event in Futaba, Japan 2011. From this point of view, Japan is basically built a NuClear Bomb on the Pacific seismic belt, and not far away from Japan, in Taiwan, which is my hometown. Is recently plan to re-built a 4th NuClear power station on this small Island in a Seismic zone. This plan has suspended from the American Contractor nearly 13 years ago, 27th October 2000, however the government of Taiwan try to use the rough technics and knowledge to reconstruct the project in the end of 2011. In 9th March 2013 there will be a wide-ranging of legal protests in the north, middle and south part of Taiwan, and the main place will located in front of the Presidential palace in Taipei, the capital city. Lastly, the aim of this poster is try to remind people that it is never to late to change, and the best day is today. He said, "Be the change that you wish to see in the world."― Mahatma Gandhi
From the aspect of geography, Human race existed destruct the planet. Fossil fuel vanish, fossils are disappearing from where they belong, landslip. Left a thousand year's plastic waste, sinking in the mother's land. The next generation on the earth might say so, Triassic, Jurassic, or Nurassic for the golden age. Human being- the most arrogant and conceited civilization on the earth. In the end, they finally extinct by their self-esteem, which is the power of destroy- The NuClear Power.

Very nice and friendly guests! Everything was fine! Thank you!
Marina (is that how you write in English?) was a very pleasant guest.
She fitted in very well and was easy going & relaxed and happy to chat.
She is most welcome to stay again.
Marina has been a wonderful guest! very clean, polite, respectful, communicative and absolutely friendly, it has been a pleasure for me to host her and I really hope to see her again in the near future, highly recommended to all airbnb hosts!!
Marina and Aleksandr were a great couple, showing when they enjoy their environment, sharing what they see and asking advice when needed. We had a short, but quality time together and they were extremely cautious when using our shared space in the house. Highly recommended for future airbnb hosts!

Main Avenue project will take two years to complete
The Park Rapids Main Avenue street and utility construction will be phased over two years because of difficulty acquiring federal funds.
At last month's City Council meeting, city engineer Jon Olson said the $730,000 in federal money allotted for the project will be funneled to the city through the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The money hasn't reached MnDOT yet so that won't leave enough time to start the project early this spring and complete it in one summer.

Jasmine for Window Boxes?
I'm currently planning/dreaming about what to plant in some window boxes on the southwest side of our house. I'd like to create a sunny sort of patio nook, with pots, planters, and boxes, overflowing with fragrant and beautiful flowers. I expect during the hottest part of the summer, it will be used mostly in the evening, with candles and soft lighting, so anything that wafts fragrance at night will also be appreciated, as well as softer, lighter colored flowering plants.
I should add, that there is also a gigantic oak in the back yard, which casts considerable shade, except for 4-5 hours in the afternoon/evening. I'm afraid that may be a bit of a problem for some things, as many fragrant plants like to be shaded at that time, however the few hours of sun will be during the hottest part of the day, unfortunately.
Last summer, I had verbena planted in the boxes, and although pretty and colorful, they gave no fragrance. This year, as some of our hardscaping plans take shape, we'll be spending more time in that space, rather than racing past, so I'd like something more special. Perennial plants are fine, as well as something that can winter in the basement.
I picked up some "Asian Star" Jasmines toward the end of the season last year, and wonder whether those might work.
Anyone growing that? If so, does it bloom for a long period of time, or will I need to swap out the window boxes?
Any other suggestions for the window boxes or for fragrant plants in pots or planters that are favorites for this type of situation? I do have a very fragrant Dutchess de Brabant tea rose, planted in a large pot, that did amazingly well in that space last year, as well as a "common" jasmine in a pot.
i don't grow that one but it will probably be fine. supposed to be hardier than confederate jasmine. neither are true jasmines but both are quite fragrant. confederate jasmine is a very strong grower down here and more ofter used as a climber. i am sure they could be used similarly to spill over the sides of containers but may require a lot of pruning. used that way, you will be able to contain it as they like to run and climb way out of bounds.
confederate jasmine bloomed for me about 4-6 weeks, begining in may.
an old-fashioned favorite for window boxes are petunias. grandparents had them in boxes along the banisters of the front porch and the fragrance on warm evenings takes me back to those times.
i have found that the dark purple ones and white ones seems to be most fragrant.
sweet peas are another old fashioned plant used in this way.
Thanks Jeff, for the response. Pruning won't be a problem, since I love an excuse to cut stems for vases anyway. I grow the Confederate Jasmine on a trellis. So far, I've really enjoyed it. I prune it lightly in midsummer after the first bloom, and it repeats for me. It also stays evergreen.
Thanks for reminding me of sweetpeas!!! I love their fragrance! Would they do ok getting blasted with a few hours of sun in the hottest part of the afternoon?

Enviably situated in the heart of the Lake District, White Cross Bay enjoys 60 acres of delightful wooded parkland running down to the shores of Lake Windermere. Surrounded by fells offering beautiful scenery all year round, this is a perfect base for walking, climbing, fishing (national fishing licence required), sailing and boating. Ambleside, Windermere and Bowness are nearby. Accommodation is within easy reach of the lake and clubhouse but due to steep gradients or steps in certain areas, the park may not be suitable for wheelchair users or visitors with mobility difficulties.
This park has:Indoor heated poolJacuzzi, steam room and saunaExperience showerGymModern clubhouse bar and restaurantFamily lounge barBeer gardenPicnic areaTakeawayWi-Fi accessPool table*Amusements*Multi use games area – football, tennis, basketballChildren's play areaMini supermarket with off licenceBoat launch facilities and marina*Launderette*
Real reviews, from customers like you.
Lovely base to explore the Lakes. Lodges feel too close together and the gas storage area in the middle of the site spoiled the view. Would not want to pay the full price of high season.
Everything was excellent. We stayed there before, about 12 or so years ago and couldn't believe the changes.
Fantastic location, disappointed that even though the park caters for dogs to stay your not able to take into the club
a very pleasant week end was had by all the family 3 lodges booked.only complaint would concern the swimming facilities very poor changing rooms,also chloride in pool very strong especially for children.
The best I had for soom time
Fantastic holiday park, great facilities and accomodation
Beautiful location. Not a lot to do for kids considering the time of year.
Had a lovely time at white cross bay as a nice get away for the weekend with my boyfriend. Only little problem we had were finding the log cabin in the dark the little road lights weren't very clear on the road. But overall great!!
excellent from beginning to end. Lodge was excellent standard. Service was good. Only negative is the bar shut too early (10.30) and the restaurant was not open.
The park itself is really nice, but the cabin we were allocated hardly had enough space to park. We had 2 cars and luckily there was nobody staying in the cabin next door or else we would have really struggled to park. Also our allocated gravelled parking spot was very short so we had to park half on the grass. There must have been an airlock somewhere in the plumbing because when we flushed the toilet it made a horrendous noise for up to 5 minutes.Another issue was we checked in on Monday only to be told the bar was closed until Thursday for refurbishment. Also we were only allowed to use the pool from 1 pm onwards through the week. A shame really because we were looking forward to an early morning swim.
Beautiful area ,but dated and basic accommodation . However it was warm considering we stayed in November . Pool freezing cold changing rooms filthy .Life guard literally falling asleep on her seat .Nice touch that there was a new steam room sauna and jacuzzi .Also nice play areas.
Location on lakeside although there are very few accomodations with a lake view. Located between ambleside & Windermere but neither in walking distance. We went october half term, swimming pool was sometimes full as small & site busy. We were told towels are provided but they are very thin & minimal so take your own anyway especially if planning to swim. Very quite site, staff helpful from phone booking to site & even helped us JumpStart our car when we unfortunately had a flat battery. Thank you.
Really enjoyed our holiday and would visit again. Staff in reception were very friendly and welcoming.
Have stayed her a few times. Great accommodation, facilities and location for visiting the Lake District.
we spent a week at White Cross which we enjoyed very much. It is close to most of the Windermere amenities and central for the whole Lake District.

Something on the 'Is This Normal' got me thinking...
KKNY said - "If my Xs SO were complainin about my child's college application, etc., I would say she is overstepping her role."
Let's say DH and I are hanging out talking about various things and SD comes up, and I say something to the effect of "I'm worried about SD because blah, blah, blah" or maybe I say "It bothers me when SD blah, blah, blah."
Is that overstepping?
Here's the deal...part of being married is being able to confide safely in the other person. I WANT my DH to be able to talk to me about things, but he should be able to listen as well. DH should know (and if he doesn't I've already failed at this marriage after only 6 months) me well enough to know that anything I say about SD or his relationship (or lack of) with her comes from a place of love, and that I only want the best for both of them. I know that about DH's relationship with DS. Even when I think DH is being too hard on him, I still know that he loves him and wants what's best for him.
IMO, "overstepping" wouldn't be complaining on some internet forum or even talking to DH. The only "overstepping" would be if I talked to BM or SD.
What I find the most interesting about this statement is that in the other thread, Caphillsm never mentioned talking to BM or SS about anything other than re-writing the thank-you letter. She said she talked to DH about the other stuff (unless I missed it).
If I am correct, what KKNY is saying is that SMs should never talk to their own husbands about their husband's kids; SMs should cook and clean for the kid(s), but are to never say anything about them to DH.
You are correct.
We are supposed to support them no matter what financially physically keep the house clean cook transport them pick up things they forget EVERYTHING but offer an opinion unless its of course to kiss the ground they walk on....
I saw in a thread somewhere about treating SC like the family dog .... well I do not like dogs so that analogy didn't help me ... so I went with the cat analogy .... then I realized a cat doesn't care if you are there or not as long as they have a place to do their business and food is available .. they do not come when called, ignore you every chance you get .... but still want you to clean up after them, get their food ready, pay attention to them when they seek it... but don't bother them otherwise...
So for the most part I treat them like the neighbor kids ... have to follow the rules in my home but its up their parents what kind of adults they will become....
I think Stepparents could and should contribute their concerns and opinions about stepkids.
BUT there is a big difference between stepparents raising their SKs or at least knowing them for a long time and stepparents who met their SKs when they are already adults and don't even live together yet they immediately start criticizing SKs life choices.
I think it is unreasonable. I think if someone who met DD now when she is 22 started criticizing her college choices or her career choices, it would be rather unreasonable.
as about finances, I don't think stepparents must contribute for college expenses. I am not sure about the law. Maybe I am wrong.

Back from the surgery, posting rose photos:)
Although feeling very weak after my surgery, I could not stop myself from taking a walk through the garden and taking a few photos of what is in bloom now.
Please take a look, I hope you enjoy my roses (sure, I do!:))

Marina, let me first say how happy I am that you are home and have the surgery behind you. Don`t try and do too much, but a gentle slow walk try your beautiful roses must be fine! You must have the most glorious collection of roses. It still slays me that you don`t fertilize your roses!! They are so full of blooms with lovely foliage. The B d Guillot red rose is my favorite, but they are all lovely. Thank you for sharing your roses with me and please take care of yourself. Fall roses are so special and I want you to enjoy ALL of yours. Lesley
Oh my, what a beautiful collection of roses, every one of them. And so many that I had never seen or even heard of, which made it a very special treat to view your photos. I had to pick a favorite, which was difficult, but as a purple addict, I was blown away by the beauty of Princess Sibella de Luxembourg.
I wish you a speedy recovery, and I'm sure all the surrounding beauty of your roses will help to accomplish just that. Diane
Thank you very much, Beth, Lesley, Diane and Ron!
Lesley, I can not say 100% that I don't fertilize. I fertilize some (may be 30%) with a handful of 10-10-10 per bush in Spring.
I believe, I have really nice native soil here (never done soil test). My main problem is watering. If only I could water all my roses, oh, that would make such a difference!
Diane, you are so right! My garden keeps me getting up from the bed and moving around. Not much done during my walks through the garden, only light deadheading:)
Gentle rosing is the best thing for you! Gentle wandering around is peaceful and just enough activity.
I've never been a fan of green toned roses, but your Lovely Green is mesmerizing to look at.
They're all so unique and lovely. Thanks for showing us your roses!!
Marina, I'm guessing you might live in Europe, perhaps in Germany? I wish you a speedy recovery. Your roses are exquisite and very much the kind I would choose. Since I live in a warm/hot area it's mostly tea roses, chinas and small Bourbons for me. What a delight to see beautiful roses that are new to me. Thank you for taking the trouble to show them to us.

"So this is how good an audiobook can be"
I'm not reviewing the content of the book, quite excellent, especially if you are a Nick Hornby fan, but rather the recording. It was brilliant using the three narrators. I also enjoyed the musical segue ways.
"A classic story beautifully read"
Roscoe Orman has a wonderful voice and reading style. This audiobook was engaging and entertaining.
