I think this a great product (tbh i don't consider this to be a bb cream due to the awesome full coverage). plus it lacks any spf and it provides a matte finish (these are not cons however in my book). sometimes when i want a lighter coverage i mix it in with a little moisturizer and it still provides good coverage. i love the full coverage, the staying power is pretty decent in comparison to my other matte foundations. the only thing i don't like is it does stick to my dry patches like crazy (i'm currently on retin a)--more so than some of my other foundations. and i love this for its strong yellow undertones, i'm an nc20-25 in mac and my shade is bb2.

I have warm, olive skin, so I struggle to find yellow-toned foundations that are yellow enough to work for me. I bought this because it looked yellow enough and I was looking for a nice, everyday bb cream to wear to school that I wouldn't have to think about. After two months of wear, it seems the search is still on.
*Price: I think it was like $13CAD. Not too bad for the drugstore.
*Packaging: I like the tube concept, because you can control how much product you get, and it has a clear panel where you can see how much product you have left.
*Product: Very thick, very pigmented, very yellow. Extremely so. I sometimes mix a few drops of this with my Mac Face and Body if I want to increase the yellowness and the coverage. The consistency reminds me of a mix between the Rimmel Stay Matte foundation and the Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo foundation.
*Positives: Great coverage, caters to yellow skin tones (rare in non-Asian bb creams), and extremely matte, drying to a powder finish. So if thats what you're after, here it is. It lasts a long time on the skin, I find it hasn't faded much after 6-8 hours out.
*Negatives: On personal preference alone, it smells like death. It also oxidizes a lot darker on me. The colour selection is terrible as well, the next shade up being much, much darker than should make sense. It's heavy, I can definitely feel it on the face. Also there's no SPF or any of the other benefits that a bb cream traditionally yields.
Overall, if you're looking for a matte, full coverage, yellow FOUNDATION from the drugstore, this is it. This can't possibly be considered a bb cream. I can see this being great for people who are interested in the way it wears and performs. Personally I want a bb cream that's lighter and sheerer, with a natural/dewy finish for daily wear. Guess I'm still on the hunt!

I don't know why this is called a BB cream??!! This is a long wearing med-full coverage foundation! And I love it!! It has some cons that might be pros and pros that might be cons for some people. 1. It is very yellow toned-good for me. 2. No SPF-ok for me as I always use a separate sunscreen anyway. 3. Can be a little drying- I have normal-dry skin and how I get around this is moisturize well underneath and have no problem with it clinging to dry patches, it blends well. 4. It is matte- I like a more satin or luminous finish, so I use MAC Strobe Cream underneath and it looks beautiful!! 5. Great coverage-I love a full coverage! 6. Long wearing-who doesn't love long wearing!! This is up there with ELDW! I think this is going to be phenomenal in the summer (I bought beginning of the winter). I use shade BB2, and am a NC20-25. I will buy again!!

I have had this in my kit for quite some time; I don't use it that often as with hard water drying me out I have opted for cream formulas. I decided to give it a try again today and it looked amazing- my face is sensitive with a lot of redness, some fine lines and very dry with the exception of the t zone. Everything was covered perfectly.
Be advised this is very, very yellow based. Consistency is between that of a tinted moisturizer and a thicker type foundation; more on the foundation side. It may take some blending into the skin. I'm NC20-25 and BB2 is a good match. When I used this today I prepped my skin with sweet almond oil and Nivea, the Flower illuminating primer then the BB cream. I feel like my complexion is hydrated for the first time in a long time; I will be using this more in the future.

I absolutely love this BB cream. Goes on easy and gives me a flawless look. It lasts all day. It doesn't look fake on me. I prefer this over foundation.

This BB Cream is awful ...
I have pale skin so I bought the lightest shade and it went on orange and patchy.
Also, this gave my a rash !!!!
I wouldn't recommend this product.

- Great coverage - medium to full
- Yellow undertones (great for me as an Asian)
- Affordable (around $12)
- Nice, clean and sanitary squeeze tube packaging
- Good for oily skin (gives a matte finish)
- only has 4 options for colors (I have BB2 but it's too light)
- consistency is creamy, but when blended, tends to be dry and chalky (which I guess is what allows it to give a matte finish)
- due to dry chalky texture, it clung to all the dry patches of my combination skin, so definitely NOT FOR DRY SKIN
- Broke me out after the second use!!!! I started noticing small breakouts (subclinical acne) on my forehead.. I guess this product clogged my pores big time :/
The packaging says to use fingers to apply, but like others have suggested, I think a dense brush works much better since the product is a little thick. I personally used the Sonia kashuk buffing brush and also tried it with the real techniques expet face brush and it was perfect. I would recommend trying this out for all you ladies with yellow undertones and for those of you who have oily skin. It gives a matte finish but has a chalky texture to it, so I wouldn't recommend it for dry skin. The shade for me was too light (I got BB2) and the next shade after (BB3) is wayyyyyy too dark, which is really unfortunate since everyone else seemed to have found the shades perfect for them :( ... Oh, and it broke me out. Sadly.
Anyways, this product has good coverage, good packaging and is great for those with yellow undertones and oily skin. But it just didn't work for me, so I wouldn't buy it again. Now I gotta figure out what to do with the rest of it.

I was originally interested in this product because unlike other drugstore BB creams, this range is fairly yellow in undertone. I got the shade BB2, but probably could have opted for BB1. This was surprisingly good coverage and has a matte-natural finish. I found after a few hours it started to dry up and bunch up in odd places on my face, such as around my nose. I'm not sure if this is because my skin is drier (it's winter) or because of the product. Either way, I do not think it would work well for drier skin.
To sum:
-not long wearing
-can be patchy/dry
-good coverage
-a more yellow toned option
-has not caused breakouts

In the world of drugstore foundations, a yellow tone is rather rare. I'm not sure why that is - the majority of the world seems quite yellow indeed, but brands like Covergirl still insist on making very pink foundations, even if they create a high quality product. This is why I'm happy Flower's BB Cream line was very yellow - some pinker reviewers will moan, but they are free to go with the other 99% of brands out there that cater to their skin tone. They can rip this yellowy foundation from my pale yellow hands.
If I was not unfortunate enough, pale yellow is the skintone from hell - short of spending some beaucoup money, pale yellow girls get reduced to... Uh... I think mostly just Revlon Buff, and a few Asian BB Cream shades. Not to knock those foundations at all - love me some Buff, and I'd recommed Skin79 BB Cream in the hot pink.
I bought this in BB1. Reviews vary on the stuff. Some girls claim they are like NC02 and that this was a perfect match. I think people love being special special little unicorns and the concept of being Twilight pale appeals to them. Walking around town, very few people will pop out at you as being ghastly pale. You know why? Because very few people ARE that pale. Reading reviews, you'd assume all foundation was made for Oompa Loompas but this isn't accurate. I'm going to call my skin vaguely NC15ish... It matches Revlon Buff, and it matches BB1. I'm also going to say that despite the best reporting, this stuff is NOT LIGHTER THAN THE PRIVEOUS MENTIONED STUFF. It's not snow in a tube, it's just your run of the mill pale yellow shade, so let's all calm down. I hear the other colours are yellow like butter, and I'm not sure what to say about it, but I'm glad it's at least offered - someone out there loves it.
Things I like about this product include the consistency, which is luckily not like plaster with some foundations. I noticed that with a flat top brush, you really get ideal blending (it was a bit heavy with my fingers) but it spreads evenly. I also like the full coverage, and I feel it's decent on my acne discolouration - but not perfect. I didn't notice much smell, but I'm not the kind to notice that sort of thing. I love the packaging because I feel it's rather hygenic - much more than a pumpless bottle (it's also pretty). I love the price because it's cheap, but I'll go on to say a few points that could have impact on the bang for your buck issue.
Things I dislike about this product include the lack of SPF (I use Biore Aqua Rich SPF50 under this) which I feel is kinda half the point of "BB" cream. I truly think that they wanted to release foundation, tinted moisturizer and an extra foundation, but they rebraded it with "BB" cream with no consideration for what BB really represents. I think this product has a great finish initally, but it only takes a short while for this product to separate on the skin. Powdering it helps a bit, and the Goss method really stretches wear to like 6h, but even then there's considerable collecting of product near my glasses. It also gets a bit greasy looking with no powdering. I'm less of a fan of this in terms of wear than my Colorstay.
- Availability
- Price
- Yellow undertones/ Paleness

The packaging on this is beautiful. What drew me to this product was its lack of SPF, which is rare for a BB cream. I liked this a lot at first, but its color range is very limited. The lightest shade is INCREDIBLY pale- too pale for my skin, which I didn't think was possible. The second shade is really yellow, so I went with this one, but it washed me out. It also seemed to clog my pores; my face felt really gunky when I used it. It was also really drying when I first put it on, with a matte finish, but my T-zone got very oily throughout the day. My advice would be to stay away from this product!

A fresh patent application filed by Google may be an augury of the company's meddlesome designs. Ringback Advertising, as the patent application is called, deals with technology that can deliver targeted advertisements to all kinds of phones when they are inactive.
The best times to beset the phone user with audio ads, according to the application, are when the call is on hold, when the call is suspended, and when it is being dialed. Furthermore, the ads will be targeted at a certain demographic. Delivering precisely targeted ads would undoubtedly require that the system be fed information about phone users. It is still too early to say what exactly Google has on its mind.

Rep. Marsha Blackburn
Mr. Speaker, music is in the very fiber of our being, and we are proud to continually showcase the sounds that call Tennessee ``home.'' From the serious songs of the darkest moments to the lighthearted tunes of the breeze, George Jones is one of the staples of country music. I rise today to celebrate the many chart-topping hits, the award-winning duets, and the musical accomplishments of The Possum.
It seems as if each of the past several decades have been marked by a George Jones hit. In the 1950s, it was Billboard's No. 4 ``Why Baby Why.'' In the '60s, his singles consistently hit the Top 10. 1973 brought us the Number 1 single ``We're Gonna Hold On.'' 1980 brought music fans what many call one of greatest country records of all time, ``He Stopped Loving Her Today.'' He rounded out the 20th century with the powerful ballad ``Choices,'' reminding us all of the humanity and redemption found in community. With 13 Number 1 hits, 30 Top 5s, the prized duet partner of James Taylor, Merle Haggard, Ray Charles, Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, and Garth Brooks, Jones's unique country music sound is beloved the world over.
Inducted into the Country Music Hall of fame in 1992, chosen as a Kennedy Center Honors recipient in 2008, and presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012, George Jones certainly has the laurels of a seasoned country music star. But you won't find him resting on those, nor will you hear his countless fans telling others of his awards. His fans and his peers speak of his fidelity to the music, to the sound, to the hard work of finding and singing the right notes of the soul.

I'm not a fan. I feel like there's so many better names out there, like Seren, Serena, Serenity, Amity, etc, that have a similar feel or sound to Serendipity. I'm not against word names, but this one just doesn't work for me.
Amber Serendipity isn't my style, since I find Amber dated, but I do agree that Serendipity would make a better middle name than first name.
All and all, I think it's a better GP name.~inside this teenberry's mind ~~(updated 1/24/15)

Shahpur Jat has become the 'go to' place for Delhiites hunting for good food or for those interested in shopping niche products or experiences
Situated in the heart of South Delhi, Shahpur Jat is an urban village where Delhiites can get everything from the Bihari dish 'litti chokha' to exquisitely decorated cupcakes to custom-made shoes and wedding gowns.
Over the years, the village has been transformed into a commercial centre, with new high-end boutiques right next to cramped and dingy shops that haven't changed for decades. The area caters to those looking for niche products and experiences, like a yoga studio that offers classes accompanied by live sitar recitals. The village also has two studios where local bands practice and record.
One of the more popular restaurants in the area, the Potbelly Rooftop Café, serves Bihari food. With dishes like Aloo McLalu Chop, a sattu-flavoured drink and Litti Chokha, of course, the colourful café stands out.
"When we started around three years ago, Shahpur Jat wasn't a hub like it is now. We were four storeys up, so we thought why would anyone climb all the way? That's why we came up with Bihari food," explains the café's owner Puja Sahu.
Ms. Sahu says the menu is largely made up of traditional dishes that she ate while growing up in Muzzaffarpur, but it also includes experimental items like the Bihari Burger, which comes with Phataka Fries and Dehati Fish 'n Chips.
While enjoying his lunch at the café, German photographer Enrico says: "I come here very often because I love the food and I live near Shahpur Jat. Litti Chokha is my favourite as I had it when I was working in Bihar."
For Delhiites, who don't have a taste for Bihari food, there are other cafes in Shahpur Jat that offer a quick bite. The Coffee Garage serves up no-fuss sandwiches, rolls and drinks to busy shoppers. Students from nearby Kamala Nehru and Gargi College as well as NIFT can be seen whiling away their time between classes over cold coffees.
Next to the Coffee Garage is the Shoe Garage, which offers custom-made shoes. "The shoes here are very comfortable and I have a small shoe size, which I get here," says Namrita, as she tries on a pair of silver-coloured sandals.
For those doing their wedding shopping, Shahpur Jat has boutiques that have designer lehengas, saris and gowns. "These days, girls usually want Western-style gowns instead of lehengas. Our range starts from Rs.32,000 and goes up to Rs.2.5 lakh," says a shop attendant at Inchee Tape, a designer boutique run by Purvi Sahu and Sharad Sharma.
While the ritzy showrooms and cafes are doing brisk business, not everyone in the village is happy about the exposure the area has got in recent years.
"My family has lived here for 650 years. We were farmers before our land got acquired. Though it is good that the area has developed so much, it is not good for our children," says Bhim Singh Lambardar, who has spent all his 82 years in Shahpur Jat. Dressed in a crisp white kurta and dhoti, he adds: "Girls come here dressed in short skirts and dresses. They shouldn't be dressed like that as it is spoiling our children."
But instead of leading to trouble, this clash of cultures has made Shahpur Jat a more lively and vibrant place, where the urban and rural coexist side-by-side.

A national commission has voted to deny accreditation for nursing programs at Southern Vermont College, and the college is planning to appeal.
College President Karen Gross said it was based on erroneous information and a flawed procedure.
The college's associate's degree for nursing and bachelors of science in nursing programs have been on probation for two years. The National League of Nursing Accreditation Commission visited last fall and determined it had not come into compliance for the accreditation process.
The Bennington Banner says the visiting team raised concerns regarding student outcomes, a new curriculum, and instructor qualifications.
Gross said the commission didn't follow its own accreditation procedure by not affording the college an opportunity to respond to its findings.

The Sopranos? Fuhgeddaboutit! | |
Is it any wonder that the new smashmouth XFL has a team based in Tony Soprano's territory called the New York/New Jersey Hit Men?! To pile on the negative imagery, the team plays at the Meadowlands Sports Complex, long rumored to be the unofficial burial grounds of organized crime in the metropolitan area.
By now, with the HBO television series The Sopranos entering its long–awaited third season, its ominous, violence–glorifying billboards blanketing major metropolitan areas, and the cast being treated like amoral Roman idols, any hope of salvaging the reputation of Italian—Americans has sunk faster than a mob murder victim in the New York City harbor.
The show, which concerns a relentlessly foulmouthed fictional Mafia family with the surname of Soprano, revels in the use of mobspeak, a street language that employs bastardized Italian—American forms of Italian words.
According to William Safire in Come Heavy, the characters' dialogue consists of "one part Italian, a little real Mafia slang, and a smattering of lingo remembered or made up for the show by former residents of a blue collar neighborhood in East Boston."
The vernacular of this famiglia has become so popular that it's been codified in the Sopranos Glossary. In fact, Tony Soprano even has his own form of currency. In The Happy Wanderer episode, he lends his old high school buddy Davey Scatino "five boxes of ziti," or five thousand dollars, during a poker game. Later that night, Davey borrows—and loses—an additional forty boxes of ziti.
Southern Italian—American Lingo
If you wanted to talk like a Soprano, you'd also need to know the correct usage of compare and comare, which respectively mean "godfather" and "godmother." Since in small Italian villages everybody is the godparent of their friend's children, when addressing someone that is a close friend but not necessarily a relative the terms compare or comare are used.
Family Values?
So you wanna be a Sopranospeak expert? If you sat down to dine with the Sopranos and discussed Tony's waste management business, or maybe the witness–protection program for one of N.J.'s ten most wanted, chances are you'd soon hear words like goombah, skeevy, and agita tossed around. All of them derive from southern Italian dialect, which tends to make the c a g, and vice versa. Likewise, p tends to become a b and d transmutes into a t sound, and dropping the last letter is very Neapolitan. So goombah linguistically mutates from compare, agita, which means "acid indigestion," originally was spelled acidità, and skeevy comes from schifare, to disgust.
The Soprano clan may be #1 with a bullet, but from the Fonz to the Sopranos not much evolution has taken place in the depiction of Italians on TV. If you are what you speak, then listening to a disgusting tirade by one of Tony Soprano's uncouth associates in a street language that's a bastardized Italian—American form of Italian words would convince even the staunchest Italophile that a cafone by any other name is still a rude, vulgar stereotype. Sopranospeak is code for endless, unoriginal obscenities that have nothing to do with la bella lingua, with the various dialects of Italy, or with the significant and varied contributions Italian–Americans have made throughout United States history.

New York Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman plans to unveil a new initiative for how the state courts handle bail. Lippman also plans to address the use cameras in New York courtrooms during his annual report on the state of the judiciary Tuesday.
Courts set bail amounts for defendants accused of crimes to ensure they return to court.
In a ruling last year, the Court of Appeals noted revisions in state law were intended to reform what was once a restrictive bail scheme and make release more available to pretrial detainees, who are presumed innocent until proven otherwise.
In last year's address, Lippman urged DNA testing of all misdemeanor criminals while giving defense attorneys greater access to crime scene DNA evidence, measures that were enacted.

Women are meant to be loved...not to be understood..." -Oscar Wilde
for some reason, i find it silly when girls get upset about guys "winking" vs. sending an email right away. i think winking and awaiting for the same in kind is a polite way for a guy to say, "i don't want to waste your time and inbox space unless you actually think me pleasant looking enough that you don't hurl when my photo shows up in said inbox". is that so wrong? sooo...i'm kind of looking for a lady (yes, "ladies" and "girls" are different). i'm not looking for someone "mature" per se...although that doesn't hurt...but more so someone who carries herself w/ an air of class...even as she's downing a beer while we playfully make fun of each other. my ideal lady...hmm...you've got to be confident, cute, faithful, funny, hot, interesting, sexy, and smart enough to realize i listed these traits in alphabetical order. i like a girl who doesn't take herself too seriously, someone who's out and about during the day, but can curl up on a couch and relax @ night. anyways...let's connect if you like to laugh, relax, and not take life too seriously. if you're lucky, we can enjoy a night out on the town dining at wendy's, shopping to your heart's content at duane reade, and ending the evening at my lavish cardboard box...wait...I meant multimillion dollar penthouse...

Got an email from a listener in Salisbury, Maryland last week, asking about a quote from a composer on our March 18th show.
It's a quote that's stuck with me, too. It's from Latvian composer Peteris Vasks.
Beauty and harmony are rare in life, but in music, they are possible. I go through pessimism finally to confirm at the end that I say 'Yes,' until my last breath, to the beauty of the world.
Vasks was born in Latvia in 1946. He was a preacher's son in the USSR, and his family suffered because of his father's work. Vasks' reaction to that misery was to create beauty. In this overview of work by Baltic composers, Vasks says:
More than ever before, I'm conscious of a twofold inspiration. The sense that I stand and have my being in this still corrupt but intensely beautiful land. And that my spirit and soul are always looking beyond it...
As far as I know (please let me know if I'm wrong!), there has not been a comprehensive biography of Peteris Vasks in English. Looks like this might be a nice interview with Vasks, if you read Latvian.
The best overviews of his life and work that I've seen in English have been in program notes that Orrin Howard wrote for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and notes from an ECM record release.
If you like the "mystical minimalism" in some of the music by Henryk Gorecki and Arvo Pärt, you should check out Peteris Vasks. Here are a few to get you started:
Choral work on the CD Pater Noster, on the Ondine label.
Dolorosa for strings on this ECM recording.
String Quartet No. 4, from the Kronos Quartet, on this Nonesuch CD.
One final thought, from the notes Vasks wrote for the SQ 4 CD:
To my mind, every honest composer searches for a way out of his time's crises. Towards affirmation, towards faith. He shows how humanity can overcome this passion for self-annihilation that flares up in a column of black smoke from time to time. And if I can find this way out, a reason for hope, the outline of a perspective, then I offer it as my model.
Is it possible to download the music from this site to my computer?
I enjoy listening to your program on the radio, but often I would enjoy listening to it again.

COLUMBIA — The next True/False Film Festival might be more than six months away, but film lovers have something else to look forward to: the Boone Dawdle.
The event will feature live music, a picnic-style dinner and an evening screening of "Best Worst Movie" on Saturday at Les Bourgeois Winery in Rocheport. And in True/False tradition, director Michael Paul Stephenson and actor George Hardy will be present to answer questions after the screening. As children, Stephenson and Hardy starred in "Troll 2" cast.
What: Boone Dawdle, sponsored by True/False Film Festival
When: 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday
Where: Katy Trail, Les Bourgeois Vineyards
Cost: Ticket packages are $30 to $70.
Also: Those who want to watch "Troll 2" can do so at the Ragtag Cinema at 10 p.m. Friday. Tickets are $10. Those who have Boone Dawdle tickets get in free.
For more information visit dawdle.truefalse.org.
With the success of True/False in late winter, event organizers wanted to offer Columbia something to look forward to in the summer as well.
"We were looking for a summer event that would have the same energy and the same spirit as the festival. So from there it sort of snowballed," David Wilson, co-director of True/False, said. "We thought maybe this was something we could do in the spirit of True/False over the summer."
"Best Worst Movie" is a documentary about the making of the movie "Troll 2," a movie so terrible it became a beloved cult classic 20 years later. Wilson and fellow True/False co-director Paul Sturtz chose the film because of its appeal and because it is new to Columbia.
"We wanted something we'd want to sit outside and watch and this movie really fit the bill," Wilson said. "('Best Worst Movie') is super funny; it's super engaging."
Boone Dawdle also will include a local-food picnic dinner by Aaron Wells-Morgan, the executive chef at Les Bourgeois Bistro, and live music by local soul cover-band The Record Collector.
True/False also has surprises planned for those using the Katy Trail to get to screening and dinner. For those who are unable or don't want to bike the trail, shuttles are available to the winery as well.
"There will for sure be trail-side music. There will be snacks and drinks, and there will be surprising moments that we will not announce," Wilson said. "There's so much going on; there will be surprises when people get there as well."
Organizers hope Boone Dawdle will continue as an annual summer event. Given the rapid pace of ticket sales, it looks like the event won't disappear any time soon. As of Tuesday afternoon, there were only 40 tickets left for those who want to watch the documentary.
"We are proud that True/False has become a cultural destination and has sort of helped put Columbia on an international map for documentary film," Wilson said. "We just see (the Boone Dawdle) as a way to offer more for Columbia's cultural table."

Rating The Route (By Hiking Standards)
0. General: From cca 1470m to 2252m, exposition E. Marked, but not protected. Difficulties: UIAA I. For less experienced a rope can be useful.1. Effort: cca 650m (from the parking place cca 850m). Only for climbing you will need some 2h, for the whole ascent from the road 3h.
2. Power: 3 - Medium
3. Psyche: 4 - Hard
4. Orientation: 3 - Medium.
See the main page how to get to Baita Winkel, 1470m.
From the meadow, where the hut stands, the marked path to Sella della Pridola (saddle), 1644m, deters left. It's broad and well marked (No. 433).
Route Description
On Sella della Pridola (saddle), 1644m, our route turns right (westwards). In the beginning we have a comfortable path, going on top of Monte Cavallo di Pontebba / Roskofel's East ridge, which has here some 1700m of altitude. The path goes through many trenches from the World War I and over a karst landscape, until it reaches the strong eastern bastion of Monte Cavallo di Pontebba / Roskofel. On Anticima Est, 1971m, no easy direct ascent is possible, so the path turns left, making a detour on its eastern side.After passing Anticima Est, the route enters a wild gorge, going between Anticima Est and the ridge more towards the south. This gorge is steep and could only hardly be climbed directly (by its bottom), so our route enters its southern slopes, soon gets exposed, winding up by the gorge. Later the route enters the gorge itself and over washed rocks climbs up. In the whole gorge there's a considerable danger of falling rocks (which can be seen in abundance everywhere). So we reach a notch on top of the gorge.
From the notch the route turns right and ascends steeply over sunny rocks in a northern direction. If a normal path, these details should sure be protected by fixed ropes or cables. But nothing is here, only faithful marks. We climb UIAA I details, go up steel grassy and rocky slopes, the terrain is steep and exposed. On our left we see the southern slopes of the point 2093, a wild steep face of plates. Some 100m higher we reach a notch, cross it and over steep grassy and rocky slopes ascend up again on the point 2093.
Now a short part of a panoramic East ridge is in front of us. As we approach the point 2203m we are asking ourselves how the route will overcome its vertical rocks, forming another step on the East ridge. By steep grassy slopes the route goes left and there we find a gully with a fixed rope in it. The ascent is a bit easier with its help and soon we reach the point 2203, where a radio equipment (table) stands.
Now the most beautiful part of the ascent is ahead of us. A narrow, exposed, panoramic ridge is leading to the top. We follow it, enjoying broader and broader panorama. Just before the summit of Creta di Pricot, 2252m, we see where the North Wall Normal route exits, and then we step on the highest point. To the bell on the summit of Monte Cavallo di Pontebba / Roskofel, 2240m we have some 15 minutes more.

This popular lottery system, created by Lottery Post member Lucky, generates a list of Pick 3 and Pick 4 predictions for every drawing in the United States and Canada. Each list of predictions is perfectly-suited to play, because it's a good, manageable size, and the combinations are designed to "trap" a match.
The system also outputs the Key Numbers for the upcoming drawing, which is great if you have your own system or wheel, and you're looking for the right digits to use with it.
Lucky's Daily Tracker analyzes each Pick 3 and Pick 4 game separately, with the midday and evening drawings considered as different games. However, you can also request predictions for both midday and evening games, in which case the system combines the games and considers them as a single game.
The predictions produced are based upon recent trends for each game, including both "hot" and "cold" patterns. Hot trends are generally favored over cold trends, although every prediction takes both into account.
The numbers generated by this system are not output in random sets, like most systems on the Internet. They are output in a specific way — they are meant to be played together — and the numbers displayed are always for the upcoming drawing.
After each new drawing is recorded in our database, the predictions for the next drawing for that game are immediately calculated and available to view.
Operating the system could not be easier:
After you click on a game's selection marker, the Daily Tracker predictions for that game are displayed.
After the predictions are displayed, we make it simple to use the numbers in a variety of ways.
If you have a printer, the system will produce an excellent, clean output from most modern Web browsers. We automatically remove all of the menus, buttons, and non-essential areas from the printed output, producing a presentation-quality page on your printer.
Next, most people use copy and paste on their computer to get content or data from one program to another, and Lucky's Daily Tracker makes copy and paste as simple as could be, from any Web browser. You don't even need to highlight text, press keyboard buttons, or right-click.
Simply click one of the two Copy links provided:
After clicking one of the Copy links, you are immediately ready to open your other application and click "Paste".
Finally, you are offered two convenience links for transferring the Daily Tracker predictions directly into the Deflate and Inspector utilities at Lottery Post.
When you click either Deflate or Inspect, only the number combinations are transferred to the utility, not the single-digit Key Numbers.
When you're finished with the Daily Tracker predictions, you can click the Try Another Game button to go back to the game selection grid.
You are using a trial version of this system. Lucky's Daily Tracker System is a feature available to Platinum members only.

NO HOLDS BARRED: BOOK TWO OF THE MONTANA MEN SERIES JAYDYN CHELCEE ISBN: 9781897559789/9781897559949 December 2008 Eternal Press Production www.eternalpress.ca E-Book/Print $7.95 CA 368 Pages Contemporary Western Romance Rating: 5 Cups
Kaycee Spencer is at her wits end and cannot seem to make anything go her way. Due to a tragic accident, the guilt lies thick on her shoulders and the responsibility that comes with it only makes it worse. Determined to seek some changes, Kaycee goes for a job interview, never expecting it to change her life.
Jace Remington, also known as J.D., is tired of his meddling younger brother. Every time he turns around, his brother is setting him up with some woman who he thinks is the perfect wife for him. When he finds out that Duel has set him up with a pretty young woman for a job interview, he has had enough and decides to play a joke on him.
While sitting at the bar waiting for his interviewer to show up, Jace is bowled over by a beautiful woman who resembles a hooker. Slipping her a hundred dollar bill seems to be the worst thing possible and he gets a cold shoulder like never before. Kaycee is horrified that some strange man thinks she is a hooker. Before she can defend her virtue, an evil man descends upon her with the intent to rape and kill her and the only one who can stop him is Jace, the man who thinks she is a hooker.
This book had me spellbound from the very beginning. Ms. Chelcee has written an amazing story that will take you from Reno, Nevada, to Rimrock, Montana, and beyond. Filled with laughter, tears, horror, evil, vengeance, and much more, No Holds Barred is a thrill ride that will leave you speechless. Once I started, I could not put this book down and when the battery died on my computer, I threw a hissy fit I was so mad! This story will blow your socks off and I only wish I could give it more than a five-cup rating because it certainly deserves it!
Caution: This story contains red-hot romance, steamy language, blood and gore, and some rape scenes.

Home security company ADT is expanding beyond burglar alarms to partner with Life360 and introduce family safety services on mobile devices.
The first development from the partnership is expected to a new mobile app that combines elements of ADT's existing Chaperone product into an app that will offer users direct access to ADT's monitoring centers.
The product will also act as a "chaperone" for children walking home from school, sending updates about the child's current location and notifying parents when they reach their destination.
The app will also do things like automatically arm a home security system when no family members are at home. The app is expected to be available at the end of 2014. The app itself will be free, but the services will only be available with an ADT security plan.
The company already offers an app that will not only set alarms, but adjust thermostats as well as control appliances and lighting and lock and unlock your doors to let specific individuals into your house as well as medical alert services.
As consumers use more and more mobile technology, control of security and monitoring systems is switching from keypads in the home to apps on their mobile devices.

From the Publisher
"Extremely well-written and detailed, Waldron's God, Locke and Equality provides a nuanced treatment that deftly handles the complexity of Locke's corpus and yet manages to provide a non-anachronistic and largely coherent version of Locke's treatment of basic equality."-Philosophy in Review
"This is a fascinating book[...]God, Locke, and Equality is a challenging and fascinating read."
-First Things
"Mr. Waldron's Locke reverberates far beyond the boundaries of this book. Readers of the Scriblerian can learn from Mr. Waldron to think of Locke's trinity of religion, politics, and philosophy as central to his legacy and the compound of religion and politics as foundational to his philosophy."
-Richard E. Brantley, University of Florida, The Scriblerian

Ameera Khan December 29, 2010 This was an awesome reminder, Br Ismail! JazaakAllah khayr. I loved it how you connected your exhausting walk to the students of knowledge from the past. :) You're right, we *have* taken it to easy. It's tempting to point out other people but if I look at my own self, I haven't been using the internet the way I can either. There's a wealth of knowledge at our fingertips but we come with endless excuses for not seeking it like we should. May Allah guide us, ameen! You know, when you were describing that tiring walk back to your hotel in Mina, it reminded me of our walk too, during Hajj. One day, we'd gone for Tawaf Ifadah and then Rami. We then walked back most of the way to Mina. After Tawaf on the rooftop, then a long time jostling through the crowds for Rami (the Jamarat complex wasn't complete in 2006), we then headed for our tent, which was located on the far side of Mina, more in Muzdalifa area and so we had to cross the whole of Mina valley too. I remember the last hour or so of walking was so tiresome that it was like I could feel the bones in my joints rubbing against one another and there were blisters on our feet. Alhumdulillah ala kulli haal! But because of what we've been through, I could totally relate to your reminder – JazaakAllah khayr!! Reply
Roshanara December 29, 2010 Alhamdulillah. A llah helped you by giving you patience and perseverance to reach your goals. I am sure there are more such incidences which happened. Do recollect and pen them down before you forget them. I pray to Allah to give us all(the students of IOU) an opportunity to meet our founder, teachers and as many colleagues as Allah wishes on this holy land and have fruitful scholarly discussions. Ameen. Reply
Mediha December 29, 2010 Masha'Allah, a very great articule as well as a great reminder for us students of knowledge! Reply
Hussain December 29, 2010 Maashaa Allah. A good reminder for student of knowledge specially Islamic knowledge. Jazakallah khair for sharing Reply

Lisa Wright December 31, 2010 Alhumdulilah. I think about this often. I often feel like even though I am so busy, I still have so much time and should be using every moment of it wisely and in an effort to attain more Islamic Knowledge. Excellent for you to share this experience and revelations surrounding it. Reply
Sarkkarai Beer Ismail December 31, 2010 Jazakkallah khaira, It was a good blog. Indeed, it was an eye-opener. Compared to the early days of Islam, I would say that vast majority of us barely experience those hardships in seeking knowledge. I watched a documentary on Imam Bukhari, wherein he travels for days to collect and or verify a single hadeeth. Alhamdulillah, everything is available at our reach, yet most of us, including me, have filmsy execuses as you mentioned. One common excuse which you have not mentioned is time – "I am too busy", "I have no time…". Even though everything is available at our doorstep, many of us frequently make such statements. We are ready to sacrifice for worldy benefits, but not ready to sacrifice for aahira. Though the courses like BAIS would benefit many of us, insha Allah, I am afraid of the other side. That is the value of seeking knowledge is diminished !!!. We must read the history and know the hardships of early ummah in order to really appreciate the value of seeking knowledge. May Allah guide us in the straight path and give us the strength to overcome such shaytanic traps. Reply
Roshanara January 7, 2011 Alhamdulillah, You made it finally. It is indeed not easy to find places especially houses in any city of Saudi. I think it is because they do not have house numbers like we do in India. To collect letters one goes to the post box no. given, there is no post man bringing our letters home. I didn't stop reading until I came to the part where you said you finally met Dr. Bilal in his hotel. May Allah grant us all the patience and perseverance to go through such hardships in search of knowledge. Jazakallah Khair Brother for the thought provoking article. Reply
Umar January 10, 2011 This reminds me of the time I met Dr Bilal. No 3 hour walk, just an hour drive, and I totally understand what you meant about online chatting not being the same, and the difference in atmosphere. Reply
Ismail Kamdar January 11, 2011 Jazakallah Khair to everyone for their kind comments. May Allah assist us all in gaining Islamic knowledge. Reply
Rajaa January 23, 2011 May Allah help us overcome our laziness and the fitna around us. Jazakumllahu khayran Reply

- To evaluate the potential effects of glutamate receptor blockade on cellular pathways important in the genesis and progression of melanoma in patients with stage III or IV melanoma undergoing surgical resection.
- To determine whether treatment with riluzole alters expression of activated PLC and ERK in lysates from tumor tissue biopsies.
- Determine if treatment with riluzole affects the overall metabolic activity of melanoma tumors as measured by pre- and post-treatment PET scanning, pre- and post-treatment tumor mitotic rate evaluation, and pre- and post-treatment immunohistochemical staining for Ki-67.
OUTLINE: Patients receive oral riluzole twice daily for 14 days. Within 24 hours after the final dose of riluzole, patients undergo standard surgical resection.

On July 7, 1980, the original members of Led Zeppelin performed together for the final time at Eissporthalle in Berlin, Germany.
We've been talking about those Led Zeppelin reissues for months, and today's the day! All remastered, reissued, and ready to be enjoyed by fans. Also, the deluxe version of the Alice Cooper documentary, and something from the Young brothers pre AC/DC
Page says he hasn't spoken to anyone from Glastonbury, though he's not ruling anything out.
A stream of the rough mix of Led Zeppelin's 'Heartbreaker' will be available for only a few days.
Remembering the late great John Bonham this weekend. The Led Zeppelin drummer was born on May 31st 1948 and died on September 25th 1980. He would've been 66 years old. Crank some Zeppelin in Bonzo's honor this weekend!
Jimmy Page has offered his first public comments on the allegations that he stole part of the music from 'Stairway to Heaven' from Spirit.
Led Zeppelin has released a "Rough Mix with vocal" video of their classic track 'Whole Lotta Love.'
Yesterday My Lost Treasure took us to San Tropez with Pink Floyd. Today, we'll head to the seaside with Led Zeppelin. Enjoy, and thanks for listening!
Jimmy Page talked about the upcoming Led Zeppelin reissues with Jimmy Fallon last night (May 21).
Jimmy Page recalls the negative critical reception Led Zeppelin got in the early days.

Scientific research in developing countries has always suffered from a lack of access to information in scientific journals because subscriptions are expensive, resulting in very poor provision for the majority of research institutions in the developing world. Open Access can resolve this, by providing developed-world research at no cost. It also resolves the other major problem for developing countries, which is to disseminate the results of their own scientific efforts effectively to the developed world. It provides the visibility and concomitant increase in impact that scientists all want for their work. Open access can be achieved by publication in Open Access journals, of which there are currently around 3500, or by the development of institutional collections of published outputs which are made openly available over the Web.

Not Too Fussy Mens Vest
Errata available:
A clean and classic v-necked vest for men, with a cable detail to add a little style and interest without too much fuss. A slightly higher-than usual v makes it suitable for wearing with a collared shirt, or a t-shirt. Edgings are worked along with the body, so there is minimal finishing.

From 1990 onwards, I have around 100 publications in this area, mostly addressing the trickier theoretical problems of consciousness in ways that try to bridge science, philosophy and "common-sense" (over 70 of these papers and chapters are available on-line, with explanatory comments at Academia.edu). Many of the issues addressed are foundational for psychological science, for example, the relation of brain studies to individual experience, the nature of subjectivity, intersubjectivity and objectivity, how to avoid the mysteries of dualism and the implausibilities of reductionism, how to develop methodologies appropriate to the study of experience, and so on. Overall this amounts to a programme for a nonreductionist science of consciousness. Understanding Consciousness (Routledge/Psychology Press, 2000) (UK, USA) is my main book. This provides an appraisal of Consciousness Studies at the beginning of the 21st Century, along with an analysis of reflexive monism, a novel resolution of the "hard" problems of consciousness. This work has now been deepened and updated for a 2009 second edition (reviews). How to Understand the Causal Relationship of Consciousness and Brain (Imprint, 2003) (UK, USA) provides additional in-depth discussions of one of the hardest problems. My jointly edited The Blackwell Companion to Consciousness (Blackwell, 2007) ( UK, USA) surveys current scientific and philosophical thinking in this area, and the 1996 edited text, The Science of Consciousness (UK, USA), provides tutorial reviews for students and researchers. The edited collection Investigating Phenomenal Consciousness: New Methodologies and Maps (John Benjamins, 2000) (UK, USA) also examines methodological issues and suggests ways of integrating this interdisciplinary field. One of my recent projects focused on fostering "Monist Alternatives to Physicalism" which formed the basis of a Special Issue of the Journal of Consciousness Studies, 2012, 19(9-10). My research interests include the therapeutic and medical aspects of the mind/body relationship, the puzzles surrounding free will, the relation of psychology to physics, and, increasingly, how to relate Western to Eastern views of the nature of mind, consciousness and self. In 2014 for example I organised an International workshop on this last subject with a range of cutting-edge talks that are now online here. I am fascinated by the breadth and depth of this topic and enjoy the "grand debates." I helped to form and, from 2003 to 2006, chaired the Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section of the British Psychological Society (CEP). In 2007 I also co-founded a new form of "Consciousness Cafe", in Totnes, where I now live. I have given over 150 papers and invited talks at national and international conferences in this area. One of these, on the "Unconscious Ground of Being", given at Cortona in Italy in 2009 can be seen here and another on "From West towards East in five simple steps" can be seen here. At present I am also Visiting Professor of Consciousness Studies in the School of Psychology, University of Plymouth and have been National Visiting Professor for 2010-2011 of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research, Ministry of Human Resources, Government of India.
My earlier research interests and publications include extensive work with the deaf resulting in around 20 publications. For example, I invented a new frequency transposing hearing aid, patented in 1974 in the UK, USA, and Japan, which was the subject of an extensive evaluation over a 10-year period (funded by the British Technology Group, The Department of Health and Social Security, and the Medical Research Council).
