I like this mascara because it doesn't clump, it separates your lashes & makes your lashes long. This mascara is more for a natural look.

I actually love this mascara because I don't like the thick clumping types of mascaras and this one goes on nice, clean and simple. It defines and lengthens the lashes. Similar to the Cover Girl Clump free mascara, except this one is much easier to hold and apply. The CG clump free one is so fat and hard to hold, it often slipped out of my fingers. The packaging is simple and attractive.
I've only used this mascara a few days but so far I am very pleased with it and am pretty sure I would buy it again.

This. Is. The. Best. Mascara. Period. I have used this mascara for probably 5-6 years and I get complements all the time of how long my lashes look. The funny thing is they can't believe that I'm wearing mascara, they think its NATURAL (which I think is totally the point.) There is no clumping WHATSOEVER and I never get raccoon eyes or flakes. The only bad part is I think it may be discontinued. I have been having a hard time finding it in stores these days (I went to 4) and could only find it in blackest black which is too dark for me (I like brownish black.) I will be pretty upset if it is.

This is hands-down the best drugstore mascara I've ever used. I actually got complimented when I went into sephora by one of the salesgirls, and it was kind of awkward to tell her it was drugstore mascara haha. It made my lashes super long without any clumps whatsoever. I think it might have been discontinued, because I can't find it anymore, but I always check. The only downside is that it doesn't last very long, but no less so than other drugstore brand mascaras.

If you like long, separated lashes, are willing to apply 2 coats while saving a little money, this one is for you. I am a devotee of Dior Show Iconic -- but am always on the lookout for a lower-priced alternative to help make my expensive Dior last longer. I really like this one for that purpose. It lifts, defines, lengthens and separates. Is it as luxe as Dior? Of course not. But at less than half the price, it is good for everyday wear. I sometimes use this as a base coat and wear the Dior over this one. Works great. The waterproof version is even better. If you aren't afraid to apply a couple of coats, you can really get a slightly false lash look. The downside is the brush. It seems a little scratchy to me.

This is probably the best drugstore mascara that I have tried. I don't know what it is about this mascara, but it just is perfect for defining the natural lashes you already have yet making them look natural at the same time. I didn't notice any clumping or irritation at all while using this. No complaints with the packaging. It looks good and worked fine.
My only complaints were that I have somewhat acne prone skin and it can get oily and after a long day or night it can get very smudgy. If you have dry skin I think this would be a WONDERFUL cheap mascara. Additionally, I had a problem with removing it! It was so hard to get off my face!
I do recommend this product. It is a very cheap (inexpensive) and convenient product!

I think that the packaging is very cute, I'm not a very big fan on the brush though, it wiggles too much so I can't coat each lash effectively.
This does not flake or smudge on me and removal is easy but this mascara leaves my eyelashes looking spiky and almost weird. However, this does define and add a lot of length (although not nice looking length), and does what is says it will do. This does not hold a curl at all but I have the non-waterproof version.

This is a great mascara for separating and lengthening lashes, but does very little for volume (but it's not a volumizing mascara, so I'm ok w/ that). It has a dry formula and I mean that in a good way, it allows me to apply two coats and separate carefully w/o turning into a smudgy wet mess like other mascaras. It also has a thin plastic-type brush that allows you to grab hard to reach and bottom lashes. For a pretty and natural look, I wear it alone, for a dramatic voluminous look, I use one layer of this and one layer of a volumizing mascara w/ a bigger brush and wetter formula. I would repurchase this w/ a sale and/or coupon. It's about $8 at drugstores. This is comparable to L'Oreal Telescopic which cost slightly more.

Not the worst not the best. I have kinda long lashes as it is. This seriously defines, as in every lash ends up seperated and long. Kinda makes me look like I have long fake lashes. Some people might like that. I guess I like it better when I have a little bit of volume rather than just these long seperated lashes. The packaging is cheap and sort of a hideous green, though the plain tube shape is good.

Obama's Promise Could Send You to Prison
Like a lot of Californians, Stockton businessman Matt Davies, 34, expected that when Barack Obama was elected in 2008, the new administration would not prosecute medical marijuana dispensaries operating under a law passed by California voters in 1996. After all, as a candidate, Obama contended that he saw federal enforcement against medical marijuana as a waste of resources.
On Oct. 19, 2009, Deputy Attorney General David Ogden released a memo that instructed the Department of Justice not to focus federal resources "on individuals whose actions are in clear and unambiguous compliance with existing state laws providing for the medical use of marijuana." Davies took that memo as a green light to join the "green rush" and use his MBA expertise to run a taxpaying enterprise to distribute what he refers to as "medicine" to sick people.
Now that he faces a minimum sentence of seven years in prison if he pleads guilty, the father of two understands that he should have read the memo more carefully. "Looking back and reading that now, you can drive a Mack truck through that," Davies told me in a meeting with his wife, Molly, and attorney Steven Ragland. In fact, the Ogden memo clearly stated that Obama's Department of Justice would consider "prosecution of significant traffickers of illegal drugs, including marijuana," to be a "core priority."
Ah, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Davies says his grandfather died a painful death from stomach cancer. He wanted to help others avoid excruciating pain.
But he also had seen people run dispensaries the wrong way — for example, not paying their fair share of taxes — and he thought his experience running a bistro and property management firm would enable him to show how medical marijuana dispensing could be done right. It clicked. "It was that whole Silicon Valley culture," he recalled. His workers felt they were "part of something."
Paradise started to crumble Sept. 22, 2011, when a burglar alarm went off. A California Highway Patrol officer stopped Davies and partner Lynn Smith, and Davies told the officer that the two were on their way to check on a Sacramento facility where they stored marijuana. In July, when a grand jury returned a two-count indictment for cultivating marijuana against Davies, Smith and Robert Duncan, 29, federal prosecutors reported that Davies' candor with the CHP started an investigation. Davies thinks they included that detail to make him look stupid.
Seen in another light, however, Davies argued, his honesty shows that he believed his Medizen Collective was legit. After all, if his business were not legal, would Sacramento have allowed him to apply for a $5,000 medical marijuana dispensary permit? Would Sacramento have registered him as an "established operation"? Would Lloyd's of London have insured his marijuana stock?
"It didn't used to be a crime to believe your government," attorney Ragland intoned. Davies' other crime is standing up to federal prosecutors' excesses. Davies' two co-defendants are pleading guilty in return for expected terms of three and five years, respectively. But U.S. Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner proposed a seven-year minimum sentence for Davies. Wagner even wrote that seven years would be "extremely lenient" in light of Davies' "very significant commercial operation." One of Davies' several dispensaries alone grossed more than $3 million annually.
Davies' attorneys have appealed to Attorney General Eric Holder to stop this travesty. On probation, Davies could continue to meet the payroll for his other businesses. He could pay taxes and contribute to Stockton's ailing economy.
In prison, Davies can serve as a testament to one truth alone: When you believe a politician, read the fine print.

Improved safety and big savings. Derr oversees a program that is on track to save the Federal Aviation Administration $2 billion over 10 years. He helped consolidate 58 flight locations into five networks by automating flight briefings and moving communication tasks between specialists and pilots, along with weather updates and other information, from a telephone- and radio-based process to the Web. As a result, "specialists remain focused on providing safety briefings instead of managing phones, and pilots generally wait just seconds to talk to a specialist when they call," said Sandra Samuel, vice president of transportation solutions at Lockheed Martin.

Grafted or cutting grown Michelia champaca source?
I am really interested in obtaining a Michelia champaca that was produced by using a graft or a cutting from a mature specimen, but every one that I have found online seems to be a young seed grown plant. I don't want to wait years for a young seedling to be old enough to flower. Does anyone here know of a source for cutting grown or grafted Michelia champaca?
Thanks in advance for any help,
t0p tropicals in ft meyers, fl has the regular orange Michelia champaca which I believe is seed grown. They also have grafted michelia champaca x alba which I planted out at maybe 4 feet and one year later is at least 15. It is a wonderful tree, I have it near the front door and am rewarded with it's wonderful scent a few times a year.
Hi Isphahan,
There is a dwarf form that the Thais call Champa Kraeh or Champa Malay (meaning Dwarf Champaca or Malay Champaca). I think you can find it on eBay right now. Here is a blog post in Thai, but you can see lots of pictures:
Hi Musaboru,
Thank you for the information! I have had my eye on the dwarf champaca on eBay. It looks like it could be really interesting. Also, I have it from a very good authority that what the same seller has listed as Michelia alba 'Golden' might actually be a variant of M. champaca sometimes known as M. champaca var. Sinuan. The seller does not have the plant mislabeled, since it is described as M. alba 'Golden' in a well-known and respected Thai book about magnolias. But some authorities do not believe this plant is M. alba and align it with M. champaca. Since it looks like it is grafted, it might be just what I need...
I asked the seller for the Thai name of the variety he is selling and he says it is called 'Champi Si Thong' (Gold-color Michelia) and it is distinct from 'Champi Sinuan' in that is darker, while he reffered to 'Sinuan' as powderpuff peach color. Dr. Kukiat also thinks 'Sinuan' is just a variety of M. champaca.
Now I wonder if 'Golden' that he sells and the one as seen on TT's website is the same variety that starts off a creamy color and darkens as the flower ages. That characteristic makes me suspect that 'Golden' might be a hybrid between M. x alba, if it even makes viable pollen, and M. champaca.
Whatever the case, he is selling some very hard to find Michelias and Annonaceae. I just had to apply for an import permit to buy these plants as California customs are ruthless LOL. TTropicals hasn't had anything like the varieties he is selling in years....
Just to be safe, do not buy the Talauma (aka Magnolia liliifera). For what it's worth, he told me that Magnolia liliifera is one of the strongest scented Magnoliaceae that he sells. But there is a variety of M. liliifera that is on the CITES list, that is Magnolia liliifera var. obvata. Besides, Logee's is selling a 1 foot tall plant for $20.
Just wanted everyone to know that TT sells grafted champaca now you 3 gallon for $39.95...
Well their shipping is probably around $20 or more and don't forget to add their 10% code
Probably not so big but I'm sure it's a better size than my amazon purchases champaca last year which was so puny and dead already..lol
Anyway I think it's a good deal consider that I barely see online resources for grafted champaca because mostly they sell grafted m alba...
And no...I'm not affiliated to TT...lol....it just so far this is the only m grafted champaca source I encounter that's a bit affordable than others for me..

Wall-to-wall carpeting, once a home decor status symbol, has been overshadowed in recent years by the popularity of hardwood flooring. However, carpet can be a comfortable, affordable, green and attractive floor covering option. Find out why.
4 Reasons to Choose Carpet
There's nothing like sinking your toes into the deep pile of a carpet when you first get out of bed on a frosty winter morning. Trending now for the bedroom are super comfy plush carpets … some of them so soft that you need to use a special vacuum cleaner.
Speaking of winter, carpeting creates a warm and cozy surface that small children and pets will especially enjoy. Carpet's insulating effect may allow you to lower your thermostat and reduce your heating bills in the cooler months.
Walking on carpeted floors with resilient underlay is easy on the joints, making carpet a great choice for homeowners with arthritis, bursitis and similar problems.
In a busy, lively household, carpeting acts as a sound buffer. In fact, many condo dwellers are obliged by their bylaws to install wall-to-wall for this very reason.
To reduce the effect of dust on family members' allergies or other breathing problems, you should vacuum carpets frequently. A vacuum cleaner with a special HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter will prevent dust circulation in the indoor environment. Make sure that the carpet is kept dry to avoid mold, which is also dangerous to the respiratory system. (This may be why the fashion for carpeting bathrooms was so short-lived.)
Carpeting is an affordable flooring solution, lower priced than almost all other materials except for vinyl sheeting. Although installation costs slightly more for carpet than for hardwood, the overall cost of carpet totals approximately half that of wood.
However, carpet does not last as well as hardwood floors, usually about 10 years for a good quality product. Its lifespan may be extended with proper care and maintenance. Remove your shoes when coming in from the outdoors and have your carpet professionally steam cleaned on a regular basis – every 12 to 18 months, and more often in high traffic areas or homes with children or animals.

Manfred Defends Mets Ownership, Payroll Sources: Knicks' Front Office Expects Changes Franchise Notes NFL Jets To Hold Camp At Team HQ NFL Hands Down Penalties For Browns, Falcons Warriors Concerned About Counterfeit Tickets Knicks' Jackson Reassures Season-Ticket Holders Fred Wilpon Addresses Mets' Clubhouse Ricketts: Payroll Bump Shows "Now Is The Time" Warriors, Ticketmaster Get Sued By StubHub
Upcoming Conferences and Events
Published May 24, 1995
The new owners of the Jets, "in a gesture of appreciation for the grassroots campaign" that raised C$13M to help keep the team in Winnipeg, will likely add two fans to the team's board of directors. Sources say the team will not have a majority owner, but instead be run by a 15-16 member board (Samyn & Douglas, WINNIPEG FREE PRESS, 5/24). ARENA DEAL: The Jets are expected to sign a 20-year lease for the new, C$111M arena that will be built with public funding, with arena profits shared equally between the public and private sector (WINNIPEG FREE PRESS, 5/24). OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES: In his GLOBE & MAIL column this morning, William Houston writes that "a European syndicate was prepared to buy the Jets and keep them in Manitoba," but Jets owner Barry Shenkarow "refused to do business with [the buyer] after an initial discussion." Michael Largue, a former Swiss League player and CEO of M.A.L. Associates, says the fact that Shenkarow did not want to negotiate with him signals that he "never really wanted to sell the team" (Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 5/24).

Google, spotting a gap in the VR market, pushes Cardboard on the Play Store December 12, 2014 at 2:01 pm

Well, it seems that Google isn't content to let that cheeky little idea die. Instead, the folks at Mountain View are doubling down on this adorable low-cost VR solution, and dedicating an entire section of the Play Store to Google Cardboard.
BPG: A new, superior image format that really ought to kill off JPEG December 12, 2014 at 10:16 am
For all of the massive technological advances that we've seen over the last few years, there are still a number of dinosaurs from a bygone era that — rather unfortunately — just won't die. JPEG is one of the most prominent examples: It was created more than 20 years ago, and yet its antiquated, bloated, blocky algorithm still dominates the web. Now, however, there's a replacement in town — it's called BPG, and it's awesome.
Firefox for iOS is coming, but it's not what you think December 5, 2014 at 5:03 pm
Mozilla dabbled on Apple's platform a few years back with an app dubbed "Firefox Home," but the company has largely shied away from iOS due to Apple's restrictions surrounding rendering engines. Now, Mozilla is changing course, and bringing a version of Firefox to iOS running WebKit.
Google is recruiting kids with custom versions of search and YouTube December 4, 2014 at 5:11 pm
Most of the web is designed with adults in mind. Sure, there are plenty of websites built specifically for children, but they're mostly cordoned off playgrounds with little more than a handful of brain-dead Flash games and "edutainment" videos. Why create something small and isolated specifically for kids when you could leverage the core technology and name recognition of services like Google Search and YouTube? Starting next year, that's exactly what Google plans on tackling — a safe, intuitive way for kids to use the internet to its full extent.
A new version of Google Glass is coming in 2015, with an Intel x86 chip inside December 1, 2014 at 11:01 am
The next version of Google Glass, which is due out sometime in 2015, will be powered by an Intel x86 chip — rather than the Texas Instruments ARM chip that helms the current Glass Explorer Edition hardware. Presumably this is either a move to boost the performance and battery life of Glass considerably — or Intel cut a very generous deal that encouraged Google to move away from ARM for its wearable computing efforts.

Firefox drops Google as global default search provider, switches to Yahoo November 20, 2014 at 8:21 am
For almost the entirety of Firefox's 12-year history, Mozilla — and thus Firefox — has been primarily funded by a lucrative deal with Google. Since 2004, Google has been paying Mozilla around $100 million per year — or about 85% of Mozilla's total income — to keep Google as the default search provider. Today, that finally changes: Google is out and Yahoo is in.

Arizona Cardinals
Patrick Peterson's new contract compared to other top NFL cornerbacks
Arizona Cardinals Pro-Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson is getting paid. There is no doubt about that.
What does Peterson's new deal look like compared to the other top cornerbacks in the NFL?
Glad you asked.
In looking at the Seattle Seahawks' Richard Sherman and Cleveland Browns' Joe Haden, Peterson is right in their ballpark -- with a little more.
Sherman agreed to his deal in May just before the NFL Draft. Haden signed his a couple of days after the draft.
This tweet from Waiting For Next Year's Jacob Rosen breaks it down easily.
Richard Sherman: 4yrs, $57.4M, $40M guaranteed
Joe Haden: 5 yrs, $68M, $45M guaranteed
Patrick Peterson: 5yrs, $70M, $48M guaranteed— Jacob Rosen (@WFNYJacob) July 30, 2014
And if you want to look at the yearly average, Peterson and Sherman are at $14 million with Haden's at $13.5 million.
Getting into the bonuses and year to year against the cap number is confusing and often times not available when it comes to NFL contracts.
So, from what we know with the above, Peterson is the highest paid corner in the league.

The low cost smartphone option is very limited if you intend to buy anything other than Android, but we have tried to give the widest choice here in terms of best Smartphone.
The low cost smartphone market is full of Android phones, but if you look beyond Android and Indian brands you will find that there is very little in terms of options. We have tried to tell you the best phones that you can buy for less than Rs 10,000 from all the possible smartphone platforms.
However, in this story for the first time we have not taken MNC brands like Samsung, LG and Sony, as Indian brands are coming of age and bringing products that are not just feature rich (in fact they are so feature rich that MNC brand products look outdated,) but also offer good quality in terms of both build and performance.
Micromax Canvas 2 A110 (Price Rs 9,990)
Micromax Canvas 2 is the most popular phone from Micromax and has sold more than 3 lakh units ever since its launch around three months ago. And there are plenty of reasons why it's so popular. Micromax Canvas 2 comes with a 5 inch display featuring 854 x 480 pixel resolution and built using the In Plane Switching fabrication process that offers better viewing angles and a much higher contrast ratio as compared to older LCD displays. The Canvas A110 comes with a faster dual core processor running at 1 GHz, coupled with 512 MB of RAM for high operation speed.
The Superfone A110 flaunts an 8 megapixel rear camera with dual flash, along with a front facing camera for video conferencing. The rest of the specifications of the phone include a 2000 mAh battery, 3G, dual SIM connectivity, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, Android 4.0.4, gravity and proximity sensors, and 32 GB expandable memory.
So strong is the demand that some retailers have managed to sell the phone at its MRP, which is close to Rs 12,000. However, some people have put off their purchase in anticipation of Micromax Canvas HD A116, which will come with a quad core processor and HD display, but will be costlier. You can read a comparison of the two phones here.
Xiaomi Redmi 2 is not much different from its predecessor Redmi 1 in terms of looks. But the new version is actually shorter.
Asus Zenfone 2 is expected to run on Android Lollipop and have a powerful 2.3 GHz Intel Atom Z3580 processor along with a 4 GB RAM.
In China, Xiaomi sells its product via its own online store and physical store of service providers. But in India this is for the second time the company has taken the offline route.
To make it possible such apps use data connectivity or internet connection.
Huawei and Samsung launched their flagship smartphones this week.
F8 is meant to be a developer conference, where discussion are held and presentation being presented about next big thing from Facebook.
Here we present to you five other smartphones which carry a similar or near about pricing as that of Q450.
With 4 GB RAM and Intel's quad core processor, it is said to be seven times faster than its predecessor.
The Mi Pad is Xiaomi's first tablet offering in the Indian market.
Samsung, had unveiled the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona earlier this month and both the phones are completely different from previous Samsung smartphones.

A Surfing video by quiksilver - 5,269 views
Quiksilver and world-champion surfer, Kelly Slater, have announced they will be discontinuing their 23-year partnership, effective April 1, 2014. Quiksilver has reached many milestones with Slater over the years, including 11 ASP World Titles, countless World Champion Tour victories and collaborations in developing his progressive and successful Quiksilver collection. Quiksilver Executive Chairman, Bob McKnight, first signed an 18 year-old Slater to the brand in 1990. "Kelly has been a part of the Quiksilver family for over 20 years. It's been an incredible journey watching him grow from a young surfer with great potential, to the 11-time World Champion he is today." McKnight continues, "We wish Kelly all the best as he enters this next phase of his career." Slater has become both friend and family to many at Quiksilver over the years and it is with a heavy heart that he states, "There is little I can say that would give the credit due or cover the debt of gratitude I feel on a personal and professional level to Quiksilver." Slater continued, "As a brand and on a human level, they have been a part of my life, career, and personal relationships for more than 23 years now, well over half my life. They've supported me through good times and bad, personal hardships and competitive triumphs, and never wavered in backing my choices and desires in all that time." Slater's legacy at Quiksilver includes not only decades of competition success, but also a deep history of product collaborations that has left its mark on the surf industry. Even as we get ready to say goodbye, Slater's influence will be seen in Quiksilver's upcoming AG47 http://quiksilver.com/AG47 boardshort line featuring REPREVE Fabrics® and the brand's commitment to working with recycled materials. Quiksilver is proud of the history it has created with Slater and looks forward to watching him as he embarks on his new business endeavors in this next chapter of his life. See you in the lineup, Kelly.

Help with yellow leaves _PLEASE
I have been growing African Violets for about one year with no problem. They have all remained healthy and bloomed well. I moved them and put them into the window at my office. Now all the outer leaves are loosing their color! The leaves are strong and healthy and show no signs of mites but the color is gone and they are just yellow. Will the color come back into the leaves if I move them again? I tried rotating the plants and then the other side turned yellow. I really hope someone can help. My violets are only the wally world kind but I dearly love them! All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Happyseed -
The life expectancy of a leaf is about a year. So - older leaves die and new leaves emerge from the center and grow large. It can be it.
Another thing that can happen to older leaves - is haloing - if the yellowing starts from the edges - and it is a nitrogen deficiency. The reason for it can be - not enough fertilizer - or if you fertilize enough - the problem can be the wrong PH of the soil or water. You said you have them in the office - so more chances that the water is OK, not as you get it from the well and it is hard. So most possibly it is soil. How long ago did you repot them? They shouldn't be in the same soil for more than a year, 6 months is even better. What happens - the peat in this soil gets too acid with time - and the soil is just gets poisonous.
If you decide that it is time to repot - be sure that you add 1/3 perlite to the AV soil - or mix your own 1:1:1 peat - perlite - vermiculite mix.
It doesn't seem like pests - it seems to be a cultural problem.
Good Luck with your beloved violets.
Happyseed -
Does the new window have more light than where the violets were growing before? I have seen leaves get pale all over in response to too much light. This might be what is happening in your case, especially as the other side paled when you rotated the plants in the window.
Hi and thank you. My office gets continual "Bright" light during the day (all day) and light from outside floursents during the night. I have decided to repot and move them away from the window. Do I buy a regular potting soil and take off the leaves? thanks
Yes, remove the yellowing leaves. I believe it is wise to change the location since they are telling you they don't particularly like it there.
AV soil is too heavy and will keep too much water at the roots which makes them rot. You can buy this soil, then cut it with one third each of soil, perlite and vermiculite. This allows water to drain freely and you won't get soggy roots that rot.
The African violet is a plant of the lower stratum of the African forest. A light too direct and too intence will destroy the leaf chlorophyll and they will become yellow. The orientation of the window is very important.

"The Dodd-Frank Act was enacted, among other reasons, to protect American consumers from abusive financial services practices," the letter stated. "Ensuring a choice of forum, particularly for small investors, heightens fairness and ultimately enhances participation in our capital markets."
"To our disappointment, in the almost three years since the Dodd-Frank Act's enactment, the Commission has largely disregarded this important mandate," Franken and his colleagues wrote. "The time is ripe for the Commission to act … to protect the investing public and prevent further abuse of forced arbitration contracts."
The Democratic lawmakers asked the SEC to conduct a study to find out how many brokerage firms are including mandatory arbitration agreements and class action waivers into consumer contracts. They said that knowledge would allow SEC to better monitor the "questionable practice."
"If arbitration offers investors an efficient forum to resolve disputes, as some argue, investors may choose that option-but they should be given the choice," the letter stated. "It is equally important that investors not be precluded from bringing class actions because of contractual fine print imposed by a mandatory waiver class action clause."
Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) joined Franken in signing the letter, along with 22 House Democrats.

13°c Overcast
Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION

Last Modified: 09/4/2014 10:54 AM | Updates
Finishing the second leg of the Southwest transitway will mean an extra five percent tax hike, warned mayoral candidate Gord Steeves, who vowed to cancel rapid transit and start fresh.
Speaking to reporters near the Parker lands, the controversial detour planned for the second leg to the University of Manitoba, Steeves challenged Judy Wasylycia-Leis to explain how she would pay for the $600-million project.
A city report suggests council must find $20 million a year, which amounts to an extra five per cent hike a year, above the roughly three per cent Wasylycia-Leis has already affirmed.
Steeves said the city can't count on a new round of federal infrastructure funds or debt financing.
"She has an obligation to tell us where the money will come from," said Steeves.
It was the third day in a row Steeves has castigated Wasylycia-Leis without announcing anything new.
Though asked repeatedly, Steeves would not offer his vision for the next leg of rapid transit — where it should run, how to pay for it, or when it could be completed. He also declined to offer a general statement in support of the notion of a rapid line to the University of Manitoba.

Sources in Washington tell me that the year-long probe of the Bush Administration's decision to fire a still-undetermined number of U.S. Attorneys for political and improper reasons is "substantially completed" and that it remains the subject of wrangling in a fairly transparent effort to slow down its release.
The probe is a joint effort between the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) and Inspector General (OIG), though it seems clear that in this case, as in plenty of others, OIG has been the accelerator pushing the matter forward and OPR has been the brake coming up with a seemingly endless number of limp excuses and complications designed to frustrate it.
Evidence that the probe is winding up can be found in this morning's Wall Street Journal:
Justice Department lawyers have filed a grand-jury referral stemming from the 2006 U.S. attorneys scandal, according to people familiar with the probe, a move indicating that the yearlong investigation may be entering a new phase.
The grand-jury referral, the first time the probe has moved beyond the investigative phase, relates to allegations of political meddling in the Justice Department's civil-rights division, these people say. Specifically, it focuses on possible perjury by Bradley Schlozman, who served a year as interim U.S. attorney in Kansas City, Mo….
It wasn't clear which of Mr. Schlozman's comments prosecutors are focusing on. He has declined to be interviewed by investigators since leaving the department. One possibility focuses on Mr. Schlozman's 2007 testimony to Congress, one part of which he later retracted.
Indeed, the evidence uncovered on Schlozman's political machinations while at Justice is stunning, leading one to wonder exactly which angle prosecutors may have decided to start with. As one of his colleagues put it in an interview with the Washington Post, "everything Schlozman did was political. And he said so."
Schlozman served for a period as U.S. Attorney in the Western District of Missouri in Kansas City. Throughout his term at Justice, he demonstrated a strong interest in partisan politics, and appears to have been linked to efforts to pressure Missouri authorities to purge voter rolls in a way which would have benefited the Republican Party. He pushed forward a lawsuit against the Missouri secretary of state which was so absurd that the U.S. Attorney in Kansas City wouldn't file it. (That U.S. attorney was forced out in curious circumstances, and Schlozman himself was appointed using the stealth process Gonzales had won through a secret amendment to the Patriot Act.)
Schlozman was also famous for his hiring standards, under which merely being a Republican wasn't enough. Apparently only the right kind of Republicans who recognized that party politics trumps all could be considered for DOJ career posts. And he had a hand in one or more overtly political prosecutions, certainly including the prosecution of a local Democratic official, Katheryn Shields. She was promptly acquitted after the presentation of a ludicrously implausible and suspiciously timed indictment.
But I agree with the WSJ in their speculation, namely, the likely focus of the Schlozman criminal probe will be his Congressional testimony. Other aspects of Schlozman's dealings would strike too close to Justice's much abused notions of prosecutorial discretion. Moreover, few witnesses of Schlozman's testimony were impressed with his candor (my initial take here), and Schlozman's positions were so untenable in the end that he was required to retract substantial parts of his testimony.
Still, Schlozman is only the beginning. The investigation focusing on Kansas City did not produce "the highest profile or the most disturbing" issues linking Justice Department figures and others to potentially criminal conduct, I learned. Those came in New Mexico and California. Stay tuned.

Queenbee's water iris post doesn't open
iris_gal(z9 CA)May 14, 2010
Hi Queenbee'
Getting the whoops message when I click on your post.
Thanks for the head's up! I'll just state my question here- IF that's ok!
I have two man made fish ponds, approz 10x10 each. They are FULL (very little water/space left in them) of a beautiful mauve pink iris w/ a yellow throat. I love this iris...but I will NOT put it in our creek or our farm ponds because I have seen what it does... So, I was wondering if I could just plant some of them in our heavy red clay soil and keep them watered...Is there a way to keep them w/ out introducing them into our natural water ways??? Any suggestions, ideas, thoughts?...thanks QB

MYTH VS. FACT: 6 Common Myths About Prostitution and the Law
1. MYTH: If you make prostitution illegal it will go underground. The argument that criminalizing the purchase of sex will drive it "underground" is not based on any evidence. On the contrary, in Sweden and Norway—where the purchase of sex has been criminalized—the number of men purchasing prostituted women has declined. Therefore, fewer numbers of women are prostituting. "Underground" is another word for "indoor", "out of sight", or "below the...
