This is one of our most popular electrical courses. This 5 day course is theory based and covers a wide range of installation topics and how they relate to the Part P building regulations. This knowledge is essential if registering on a Part P scheme.
To undertake domestic electrical installation work competently and compliantly to Part P building regs you will need the knowledge and skills that this Part P training will give you; together with the relevant qualification. This Part P course forms part of our 18 Day Full Bronze Domestic Installer Courses Package.
Get certified by gaining electrician training and obtain the proper Part P qualification and proof of that you know the Part P Regulations with our intensive 5 day course. Please note this course on it's own does not enable you to carry out domestic installation work. It is usually taken by installers who are completing our bronze course or already working towards scheme registration.
We offer 3 part p courses:
5 Day Part P Course (This Course. For those with electrical installation skills)
1 Day Part P Course (For more experienced electricians)
18 Day Domestic Installer Full Learning Package, Bronze. (For those new to electrics)
Why take this Part P training course?
To register with a Competent Person Self-Certification Scheme** such as NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA, you will be expected to be competent in electrical installation, have your 17th edition wiring regs, know how to inspect and test and be able to install in line with the latest Part P building regs. Having these skills, qualifications and subsequent registration, you can self-certify your installation work. The scheme provider will then provide your customers with a Part P electrical certificate.
Our 5 day VRQ Part P Courses will bring you right up to the required safety & legal standards, enabling you to competently install your domestic electrical work, compliant with Building Regulations Part P. In fact our Part P course is not just about Part P it covers the requirements of all the parts of the building regulations and how an electrical installation can and must meet them.
We must emphasise that this short course alone will not be sufficient to become a Domestic installer it is only one element of the skills and knowledge you need. Unless you already have the relevant training and qualifications, to register on a Part P scheme you will need much more training and qualifications than this short course. After gaining your City & Guilds VRQ Certificate in the Building Regulations for electrical installations in dwellings on the Part P electrical course with Trade Skills 4U, you can continue your training to be a Domestic Electrical Installer or even train to be a Qualified Supervisor.
Is this course right for me?
This course is suitable for those with existing practical installation skills wishing to undertake domestic electrical installation work, either for themselves or any person wanting to be a Domestic Electrical Installer and undertake work for a paying customer.
Part P building regs were brought in by the government in 2005 and together with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 ensure electrical installations in domestic systems were safe and properly installed. Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 state that that anyone doing this work must be competent.
The Part P VRQ qualification that we operate on our electrical training Part P courses, is proof that you have the necessary Part P regulations knowledge.
Entry Requirements
You must be able to complete the skills of the 5 Day Domestic Installation Workshop 4141-01 Course unaided before attending this City & Guilds Level 3 VRQ Part P course or simply put you should be able to install socket and lighting circuits in a house. All candidates must be over the age of 18.
New to the electrical industry?
If you are new to the industry, then you should be aware that this course alone will not give you the skills necessary for you to become a Domestic Electrical Installer.
We would strongly suggest that you would need to undertake the 5-Day Domestic Installation Course, City & Guilds 2382 17th Edition and the City & Guilds 2392 Inspection and Testing courses. These courses will offer you plenty of high quality training and qualifications to allow you to operate as a Domestic Electrical Installer.
Over 95% of people new to the industry follow the 18 Day Bronze Course route we offer and go on to be Domestic only Electricians.
Part P Electrical Course Content:
These contents below are knowledge and theory elements of the regulations you will cover in a classroom environment, this is not a practical course. For practical training you will need to complete the whole Bronze package.

Category: Justice
God's Just Anger: Against Us, Too?
Many religious and non-religious observers have said that one remarkable trait that separates us moderns from ancient peoples is our belief that we are basically good. We'll readily agree that "no one's perfect," but other than that, most of us have a fundamentally good orientation and are of a wholly different moral and psychological make-up from a Hitler, or a serial killer, or a rapist. From a religious and specifically Christian perspective, then, we have no need to be forgiven, much less "saved" from anything, since we haven't done anything terribly bad. I would argue that this view is dangerously mistaken, however, and the excerpt below from Mike McKinley's Passion shows this error in stark contrast to what is true. There is a place in this (so far) excellent and short book where McKinley argues that because God is perfect and holy, his anger at human oppression and injustice is completely justified and righteous; indeed, God's wrath is "actually part of His perfection – not a suspension of it." He then argues that if people are made in God's image, then we would expect this righteous anger to be expressed at times by people. To illustrate this, he tells:
"A friend of mine recently told me about a time in an east Asian nation where his hosts drove him into the capital city. As they entered the city, they were confronted by a long line of young girls, lined up by the side of the road. These girls had been sold into slavery as prostitutes (often by their parents), and they would spend their lives being used and abused until they were finally cast aside when they were no longer desirable. My friend described his feelings as he saw these girls: an anger, a rage in his heart that made him feel as if his chest was going to rip in two. "…If that goes for humans, it goes for the God who made humans, too… [And here is the key part for us] But where we really run into a problem, where we really object to God's wrath and justice, is when it comes to us. We may be happy with a God who punishes the rapists and the murderers, but we aren't happy with a God who punishes us. But where would you draw the line? How much should He tolerate from you? How much of your pride, anger, deceit, manipulation and selfishness do you think God should overlook?… The Bible tells us where God draws the line: He demands perfection" (18-19).
The True Measure of our Character
He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
– Micah 6:8
Before the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Gardner and the national controversy that ensued, I neither gave much thought to nor was I concerned about the state of our criminal justice system, much less about how the color of one's skin makes it more likely that a person will fall into this system and be wronged by it. Then Thabiti Anywabwile, one of the pastors at my church, wrote a poignant blog post on his greatest fear about coming back to the States after pastoring a church in the Cayman Islands: That this country would "destroy" his young black son. This post and others he wrote stirred many in our mostly white church to think about how as Christians we should respond to issues of race and injustice, and to seek to understand the fears and struggles borne by many of our black brothers and sisters in the faith. These conversations suggested I give more serious thought to these issues, and then, as we were driving one day, my wife and I had a conversation about statistics she'd read showing how blacks and other minorities disproportionately fall victim to the uneven enforcement of harsh laws that have the power to ruin lives. As we talked, I decided that we should read a book to understand these issues better. Because I had heard of it recently, I first thought of Michelle Alexander's well-reviewed The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, but before I settled on this choice I came across (on Twitter, so you see, it can be useful!) Bryan Stevenson's Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption (Spiegel & Grau, 2014), a deeply personal and richly told story by a young lawyer who champions the cause of the condemned. I'm only forty pages into it, and already it's a terrific read that has educated, challenged, and unsettled me about an issue that deserves more attention, especially from those of us who know a just and merciful God who commands us to fight for the rights of the poor and the oppressed.
Below is a brief but powerful and challenging excerpt:
"My work with the poor and the incarcerated has persuaded me that the opposite of poverty is not wealth; the opposite of poverty is justice…I've come to believe that the true measure of our commitment to justice, the character of our society, our commitment to the rule of law, fairness, and equality cannot be measured by how we treat the rich, the powerful, the privileged, and the respected among us. The true measure of our character is how we treat the poor, the disfavored, the accused, the incarcerated, and the condemned.
"We are all implicated when we allow other people to be mistreated. An absence of compassion can corrupt the decency of a community, a state, a nation. Fear and anger can make us vindictive and abusive, unjust and unfair, until we all suffer from the absence of mercy and we condemn ourselves as much as we victimize others. The closer I get to mass incarceration and extreme levels of punishment, the more I believe it's necessary to recognize that we all need mercy, we all need justice, and – perhaps – we all need some measure of unmerited grace" (18).
A Christian Call to Fight for Justice
"Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do." (Galatians 2:10)
Christ's call of love and restoration encompasses our humanity in all its totality, and therefore it absolutely is concerned for the physical and material suffering of people. But is this concern evident in your Christian life? Does your budget or calendar show you care about those who are most in need among us? I don't put forth these questions from a place of having "gotten" this; this is an area I want to grow in and which I want to partner in with my wife and eventually my family. I love how Matt Perman puts it in his excellent book, What's Best Next: How the Gospel Transforms the Way You Get Things Done (Zondervan, 2014):
"Christianity teaches that we are to be concerned for the whole person, not just the spiritual dimension. As agents of the kingdom, we are to bring healing to all realms of life, not just the spiritual realm.
"Further, God's call is that we make a large dent, not a small dent, in helping the poor, because the needs are large, not small. We live in a world where 26 percent of the population lives in extreme poverty. In addition to malnutrition and hunger, other giant problems like disease, lack of access to clean water, illiteracy, poor education, and corrupt leadership affect billions. As Christians, we are to attack these problems head-on. God's call is that we bring the gospel to all nations and engage in the fight against large global problems. Anything else misrepresents the pervasive concern of God, who cares about all suffering and distortions of his handiwork" (313, emphasis mine).
Want to Live with Purpose? Think About Heaven and Hell
Which do you think would most help you live a more purposeful and active life – focusing on the conditions, problems, and hopes of this world, or on heaven and hell, along with its realities of eternal joy and eternal torment? Sometimes you'll hear the non-religious person say something like, if only Christians (and people of other faiths) focused more on the "here and now," think of all that they could accomplish.
Yet countless examples of Christians show the reverse – the British lawmaker William Wilberforce comes to mind, who, even as he often meditated on eternal realities, passionately threw himself into myriad social causes, most famously the abolition of the slave trade, as I showed here. And though he didn't have nearly the same kind of political impact on society, we also find a life of purpose and achievement in the great American pastor-theologian Jonathan Edwards. From Owen Strachan's brief and delightfully instructive Lover of God (Moody, 2010):
"Though it seems strange to say in this age, we should think about hell. We should not direct our minds only to pleasant things and passing diversions. We need to take the spiritual world seriously, and to meditate on it and think about it in the course of our daily lives.
"… He [Edwards] studied hell and often remembered what God had saved him from. He did not simply think about where he was going after death; he though about where, but for the grace of God, he would sure have gone. This contemplation fueled his passion for the Lord and drove him to live a serious and purposeful life. Because Edwards looked deeply into the reality of eternal torment, he was equipped to live a life of great spiritual intensity that pointed countless people away from hell and toward heaven" (107-108).
Sergio Vieira de Mello: Philosopher Diplomat
In Chasing the Flame (Penguin, 2008) Samantha Power, who is now U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, gives us the enthralling, inspiring, and maddening story of Sergio Vieira de Mello. An international crisis man sometimes described as a humanitarian James Bond, Vieira de Mello was a brilliant and deeply humane UN diplomat whose combination of passionate idealism with hard-nosed pragmatism was repeatedly frustrated by forces larger than himself, including the shortcomings of his own organization, the UN. His was a thrilling life prematurely ended in 2003 by a bomb in Baghdad while he served as the UN chief of mission in Iraq.
This diplomat, who shuttled from one conflict zone to another to defuse international crises, was not only a man of action, but also a man of deep thought, a man after philosophy. A brief statement from early in his career reveals that for Vieira de Mello, philosophy not only provided the internal grounding for the bold pursuit of justice to which he devoted his life, but was also at the core of what makes us human. In his words below, he also echoes the ancients' (was it Plato? It was probably Plato) insight that just as those who are most gifted have the greatest potential for good, they also have the greatest potential for evil. We're reminded that this applies to the realm of thought and ideas as well.
After receiving the highest grades in philosophy at the Sorbonne in Paris, Vieira de Mello wrote to his ex-girlfriend:
"'But for what?'…if he had studied economics or marketing instead, 'some American company would have assured me a "happy future" strewn with dollars.' He would never sell out, he told her, and 'just short of dying of hunger,' he would 'never abandon philosophy.' The philosopher, he wrote, could become either 'the most just man' or the 'the most radical bandit.' Either way, he insisted, 'to do philosophy is to have it in your blood and to do what very few will do – to both be a man and to think everywhere and always.'" (21)
"Enemies of the State" in Venezuela, Beware
What if a hospital refused to see you because last summer you volunteered for the political party opposite of that of your Governor? What if you were dropped by your insurance company because you signed a petition calling for the passage of a law opposed by the President? We would be outraged if these things happened in this country regularly and without consequence, and rightly so. Sadly, this has been the reality in Venezuela for many years under Hugo Chávez, and it continues today under his hand-picked and less talented successor, Nicolás Maduro.
In his timely and important book, The Dictator's Learning Curve (Anchor, 2013), William Dobson gives us a glimpse of the abuse of state resources by government officials who target those who act to challenge the state:
"In one case documented by Human Rights Watch, a ninety-eight-year-old woman was denied medical prescriptions she had been receiving for years; when her family inquired, they were told it was because she had signed the referendum [for a recall vote challenging Chávez]. One person I met told me a similar story. Her fiancé required immediate medical attention and went to the emergency room of a government-run hospital. The hospital representative was in the process of admitting him, until she ran his voting identification card through the computer. He was told he would have to go someplace else…In a society ruled by patronage politics, being identified as an enemy of the state can have serious consequences…Venezuelans used the list against fellow citizens to decide everything from who is hired or fired to who gets a passport or is audited by the tax authorities" (100).
The Best Thing You Can Do to Help End Slavery
Though many of us think of slavery as a thing of the past, a shameful part of our history that has been rooted out in a world of increased equality and tolerance, the reality is that today there are millions of slaves around the world. Estimates put the number between 20 and 30 million – an alarming figure.
So what can we do about it? It'd be easy to become overwhelmed at the magnitude of the task when we begin thinking about it, but like me, you'd be surprised to know that the most effective thing you can do do help end modern slavery is in fact very simple.
In his important book Ending Slavery: How We Free Today's Slaves (University of California, 2007), Kevin Bales tells the story of a college student who was given the assignment to determine the most effective thing a person can do to end slavery.
She spent weeks researching and analyzing the possibilities, organizing letter campaigns and fundraisers, and volunteering at human rights organizations. She came back to her professor with what to many of us may be a surprising conclusion:
"At the end of her analysis, one action stood head and shoulders above the others. According to her research, the most effective thing the average person can do to end slavery is this: Join an antislavery organization like Free the Slaves, and send it $10 a month."
Bales goes on to say, "What the antislavery movement needs more than anything is for every person who wants slavery to end to make a small regular donation. When that happens, there will be a stable income needed to build the long-term projects that will roll back slavery around the world" (234).
So are you ready to start giving $10, $15, $20 a month to an organization that does the hard work of fighting slavery? If so, here are a few reputable organizations, faith-based and secular, where your contribution can go a long way:
International Justice Mission: http://ijm.org/
World Vision: http://www.worldvision.org/
Polaris Project: http://www.polarisproject.org/
Free the Slaves: https://www.freetheslaves.net/

TELL CITY - A pair of stores in the Tell City Shopping Center on Indiana 66 have shut their doors in the past couple of weeks.
Domino's Pizza and Cato have closed and their signs have been removed. Telephone numbers for the two businesses still worked as of Friday but there was no answer at either location.
TELL CITY - "Everyone is welcome" to attend a meeting of the Humane Society of Perry County scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 9 at Fifth Third Bank in Tell City, according to its president, Jim Carter.
More information may be obtained by calling him at 836-4138.
APALONA - Two coyotes killed between Apalona and St. Isidore Catholic Church likely had canine distemper, not rabies, residents in the area said.
A man killed one of the coyotes he said was acting odd and approached his home. A few days earlier, another young coyote was hit by a vehicle. It, too, appeared ill. Distemper is a viral disease that affects the central nervous system.
Anyone seeing sick wildlife can relay information to local conservation officers by calling the Tell City Police Department at 547-7068.
Cannelton police officers learn from Mark Genovese Thursday about a new electronic-ticket system their department began using that day. The instructor, working under a contract with the Indiana Supreme Court's Judicial Technology and Automation Committee, explained officers can write citations and scan bar codes on drivers' licenses and vehicle registrations. Time spent issuing a ticket is cut, and officers' safety is enhanced because they spend less time in vulnerable positions on city streets.
Mayor says efforts unheeded on warranty claim
CANNELTON - In response to a question from Councilwoman Lynn Fulkerson at an Aug. 11 common-council meeting, Cannelton Mayor Smokey Graves said the contractor who reroofed the city's old gym "has done nothing" in response to repeated efforts to get him to correct problems that remained after his initial work.
"We sent two letters," city attorney Chris Goffinet said, adding that Carl Cronin of Tell City had said he'd honor a warranty on his work.
DERBY - A Leopold man was injured Tuesday morning when the pickup truck he was driving collided with a tractor on Indiana 66 near Derby.
James Houston Smith, 59, of 16287 Old Indiana 37, suffered several broken ribs, a damaged spleen and other internal injuries. He was taken to Jewish Hospital in Louisville, Ky.
Information on his condition was not available Friday afternoon.
According to Perry County Sheriff's Deputy Kenny Blinzinger, Smith was northbound on Indiana 66 and attempted to pass a tractor, which was carrying a hay tedder, that was also northbound.
Sprinkle to renew ties with former solid-waste agency
TELL CITY - The Perry County Recycling Management District is partially at the mercy of the recyclable-commodities market, according to Executive Director Paul Alvey, but that market appears to be in good shape for the foreseeable future.
Chapman predicts lower taxes next year
CANNELTON - The immediate financial future remains rocky, but Cannelton Superintendent of Schools Al Chapman said Thursday the imminent arrival of tax revenues, a proposed bond sale and changes in state funding promise to bring stability - and perhaps even prosperity - in 2009.
Uncertainties in the school system's fiscal picture were evidenced by questions board member Christal Moskos posed in looking at the financial report Chapman provided at a regular board meeting.
Fourth Street residents worried they may lose use of backyards
TELL CITY - A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers report will require Tell City to remove a gravel roadway and trees inspectors said are too close to an earthen levee that has protected the community from floodwaters for more than 60 years.
The levee, which ties into the city's concrete floodwall along Fourth Street, is inspected regularly by the Corps and a review carried out in April pointed out "significant maintenance deficiencies" the city will have to address in the coming year.
Discussions result in project extension
CANNELTON - The Indiana Department of Transportation has agreed to perform more improvements to Indiana 66 through Cannelton than they originally planned, according to the city's mayor.
Smokey Graves said at a city-council meeting Aug. 11 INDOT now plans to improve the highway from the McDonald's restaurant in Tell City to the Patio Steak House between the two cities.

The families of 12 persons, out of the 158 killed in the May 22 Air India Express crash, will never get the opportunity to perform the last rites of their departed kin as per their faiths.
The final DNA report, received by the district administration on Tuesday, has concluded that the DNA of 11 bodies in the custody of the district administration does not match samples provided by the claimants.
To begin with, the district administration had 22 unidentified bodies. The first report, which arrived on May 26, identified nine of 10 bodies. Another body was identified on May 28, and taking the one body from the May 26 report into account, 12 bodies remained unidentified.
'Not related'
In its latest report, the Hyderabad-based Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics (CDFD) said: "It is certified from the DNA profiling results that the 11 bodies' remains are not related to any of the 34 claimants whose blood samples were used for analysis and comparison." (The 34 claimants belonged to 22 families.)
Addressing a press conference late on Tuesday, in-charge Deputy Commissioner S.A. Prabhakar Sharma said: "The district administration will now take over the responsibility of performing the last rites of the 12 unidentified persons as per the power granted to it under the Disaster Management Act 2005." He said the bodies will be buried and not cremated to provide for further legal recourse such as exhumation.
Families crestfallen
The news left the families that have no bodies to claim crestfallen. Speaking to The Hindu, Abdul Aziz, whose 28-year-old brother Mohammed Ismael died in the crash, said the family had not seen Ismael for three years.
"He decided to come home to meet us after a lot of coaxing. Now we don't even get to see his body," Mr. Aziz said.
Points to mix-up
Conceding that the latest DNA results point to a horrible mix-up, where some people have taken away bodies that belonged to others, Mr. Sharma said there was extreme pressure on the district administration on the day of the crash.
Commenting on the confusion, he said: "At that point we found it inhuman to question the claims of the distraught families."
Compensation process
Commissioner of Police Seemanth Kumar Singh, also present at the press conference, said the present situation would not come in the way of the compensation process.
"All 158 passengers killed in the crash will get death certificates," Mr. Singh said, adding that the district police have maintained all records of those who have taken away bodies.

"Add Meme faces To Pictures"
Reviewed by Oliver T. Robson / May 21, 2015
Add meme faces to your pictures
ModFace lets you add meme faces to your photos. It has loads of different faces, and lets you flip, re-size and rotate them. It's riddled with problems however - from ads to difficult controls.
ModFace has loads of different faces. You can take a picture to use, or select one from gallery. You can save and share from within the editing section.
A large problem is ads - full-screen ads are frequent and irritating, with the tiny close button designed to make you accidentally click the ad. Banner ads also obscure photos while you edit them - inexcusable. It also has no option to rotate portrait photos. The re-sizing of the faces isn't very smooth, and neither is the rotation.
Meme fanatics can't miss the Modface Face app, which is designed to make meme photo editions easier and faster to create. It is simple and fast: take a picture and the app will recognize people's faces and automatically substitute their faces with one of the many memes available.
Didn't like the selected meme? Just change it for another one. You don't want a meme on that face? Just press the remove button. Do you want to add another meme to the photo? Just select one and move it to any position on the picture. You can also alter the size of the memes and rotate them. After your photo is done, it is time to share it with your friends through the most popular social networks with just a few clicks.
This free version contains ads. The full version does not have ads, automatically recognizes up to 10 faces in the same pic, and has an expanded gallery with more than 200 memes, buy now for only $1.99
We'd like to announce the addition of two new features for ModFace that will make your pictures even more funny and interesting. Yes, we know many people ask us to introduce texts to ModFace . Now, it is finally possible with Text Mode! And it is just as simple as adding your memes. Just go to text mode, add a new text and check it out. Paint mode. In this mode you can draw in your pictures, put your artistic fingers to work and give your friends that funny cat ears.

The boat I have now fits my need perfectly, a 31 ft steel twin keeler of my own design. If I won the lottery I wouldnt change boats. By the time my first boat hit the water I wished I had done a lot of things differenly. The second one took me eight years befoe I wished I had done enough differently, to build another.My current boat is 29 years old and there is little I would change.

I really want to like this lip liner, but it has a lot of issues. The tip breaks easily, which requires it to be constantly sharpened, and doesn't it apply smoothly, usually leaving chunks from the tip or getting messed up from where the tip broke off. On the positive side, the color is very nice and does having decent staying power, although it doesn't keep whatever you put over it as well.

Let me say that I LOVE the Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in the shade Naked. Such a flattering neutral pink. I was so excited when I saw the same named lip liner for those days when I need my lippie to go that "extra mile". Boy am I disappointed! I'm a NC25-ish with pretty pigmented lips and this liner pulls grey/brown on me! NOTHING like the color of the lipstick. I'll keep it in my stash to perhaps line the lips for a dark vampy color, but I would never, EVER wear this alone, which was my sole purpose of buying it. Huge bummer!

UD's lip liners are the best on the market in my opinion. They are creamy, easy to apply and don't drag on my lips. They last a very long time and don't cause dryness. Unfortunately, as much as I love the Naked lipstick, the liner in the same shade looks pretty bad on me! It's a nude beige pink but on my light/medium warm skin it pulls very brown. My lips have very little natural pigment and this liner looks just like the grungy brown shades I rocked in the 90's. So while I love the formula, the color is really bad for me and I won't repurchase this one. I also wish it was a retractable pencil, I don't like having to sharpen my lip pencils because it makes touch ups on the go a bit too difficult for my taste. Still giving this 4 lippies because I think it's a great product even though the color doesn't work for me.

Love this lip liner. It does last a long time and its a pinky beige. I love UD as usual and I found this liner to be up to par as well as their eye liners. It doesn't dry my lips out and when I use this with MAC Snob looks great.

*Very* nice! This pencil glides on like a dream, although you need to use a light hand or you'll end up with a thick, heavy line. It blends well, then stays where you put it. Really a pleasure to use. This is very close to my natural lip color, and I love to line and fill in my lips with it, then top it with the UD Naked Super-Saturated lip color--it makes a perfect nude lip (or the closest I can get to a nude lip). It's non-drying and wears well. A winner from UD!

I love the quality and lasting power of this lip liner. The color Naked is probably better suited for people with a warmer complexion. On me, this pulls a tiny bit orange. However, it is a good neutral and works well with all of my lipsticks and glosses. It's a great liner and I would purchase other colors from this line.

Bought this on a whim because I love Urban Decay 24-7 eye liners and was looking for a MLBB liner for everyday. The shade is beautiful and very flattering, and the pencil is really nice and creamy. Once agan, Urban Decay has created a long lasting product that looks great and wears forever.

UD Naked lip liner pencil is one of the most flattering and versatile nudish lip liner colors I own. By "nudish," I mean that it's nude on most people in the medium skin tone range (and maybe darker, idk) but since I'm so pale, a true "nude" lipliner has to be even lighter, clearer, warmer and less brown, so Naked is a bit too deep to be truly nude on my lips, if that makes sense. (Midnight Cowboy is closer to an actual nude on me). Having said this, I have my favorite nude lls that suit that purpose, and I use them when the makeup emphasis is on eyes or cheeks. For an everyday go-to lip liner, however, an MLBB liner like UD Naked is ideal. A light-medium pinkish brown, it compliments almost any mid range lip color and has the right amount of brown to tone down or add dimension to a wide variety of lip colors. This is why I love--and reach for--it so often. This, and the fact that, like all UD 24/7 lip liners, it wears like nobody's business. And unlike a lot of long lasting lip liners, it goes on softly with no tugging of the lips or skipping, etc. The only downside for some peeps might be the fact that it has to be sharpened, but I prefer that b/c it gives more control over the size of the point.
UPDATE: This review is for the pre-2014 version of the Naked pencil. At some point in 2014 they revamped the 24/7 ll line, and came up with different colors under the same name, including "Naked" and "Naked 2".

I totally love these lipliners - this color is pretty close to my natural lip, so it makes for a beautiful natural look for me with the Naked Gloss (which I also *love*). These are creamy and apply very easy - good lasting power when I use over MAC prep+prime lip.

2nd and Seven –
Underrated doesn't begin to describe them – Three teams in
all of college football had a better pass defense last year than
the Huskies. Wait, hold on – three teams in all of college
football – you're telling me that the Huskies had the fourth
best pass defense in the nation?!? Yep, and here's more good
news, they're all back. M.J Estep, Ernest Cole, Tyvon Branch,
Marvin Taylor, Jahi Smith, Darius Butler among others will all
return to a back four that gave up a miniscule 159 yards per
game. In a way, it's not surprising that the Huskies would have
such a strong secondary, with a former DB coach Randy Edsall as
their head coach. But, it doesn't matter who's coaching this
bunch, they're that good and this year, they might be even
3rd and Three –
The Final Run – Three years ago, Terry Caulley was U Conn
football. On a national level, Caulley put them on the map. He
was completely dominant running the ball and four straight
thousand yard seasons were going to be his legacy. Flash
forward to 2006 - the Huskies leading rusher has one final run
to show the Big East that he's still the weapon that he was in
2002 and 2003 before his injury. Last year, he returned to the
lineup after missing all of 2004 and ran for 649 yards and 6
touchdowns. That was about half the output he had as a
freshman, but then again it was 649 more yards than he had in
2004. With one final 'run' to make, Caulley would love to have
a special year, a 1,000 yard year, the type of year that'll
cement his place in Connecticut football history. And, put him
back into the discussion of the 'best running backs you've never
seen play'.
4th and One –
"I've built a program, what have you done?" – If you're a U
Conn supporter, through and through, you're probably not that
impressed with what Randy Edsall has done in his short time in
Storrs. After all, you've seen Jim and Geno build basketball
programs from scratch, turning them into national championship
contenders on an annual basis. But, doing it at a football
level is a different story altogether, but Edsall is continuing
to build the program the right way. However, the Huskies are at
an interesting point in their development – do they slide right
back down the mountain from whence they came or do they continue
to assent to a status in which they're playing in December or
January every year (a bowl game, if you missed the reference)?
Edsall is one of the most underrated coaches in the nation and
Connecticut is more than lucky to have him, but the pressure
will definitely rise with another losing season. But, then
again, Jim and Geno both faced hard times at some point in their
careers, too, and look where they are now.

Unilever may report the fastest quarterly sales growth since Chief Executive Officer Paul Polman took the helm two years ago as the company raises prices to combat soaring raw material costs.
Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc made a surprise $1.4 billion counterbid for Schiff Nutrition International Inc., topping an agreed offer from Bayer AG for the maker of vitamins, supplements and nutrition bars.
Alex Rodriguez , the New York Yankees third baseman, was named to the committee representing Texas Rangers unsecured creditors in the team's bankruptcy case.
L'Oreal SA, the world's largest cosmetics maker, said first-quarter sales increased 8 percent, beating analysts' estimates, as shoppers spent more on luxury perfume and distributors stopped cutting inventories.
Hari Sumarno runs a small shop selling tobacco and household sundries at the Palmerah market in Jakarta, the bustling capital of Indonesia, which has one of the world's fastest-growing economies. Palmerah is a hive of more than 100 mom-and-pop stores, and shoppers haggle over everything from duck eggs to flip-flops as flies buzz overhead.
Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc rose to a record in London trading after the maker of Nurofen posted revenue that beat estimates, defying a slowdown that has hurt competitors, boosted by increased sales of health-related products and a turnaround in developed markets.
Unilever reported the highest price growth in more than two years after introducing products such as Magnum ice cream and Knorr jelly bouillon in new markets and passing on surging raw-material costs.
After meals in the kitchen of their three-bedroom row house in Hitchin, about 35 miles north of London, the Quinn family washes the dishes by hand. They don't own a dishwasher, and Louise Quinn doesn't think they need one.
In 1888, when Queen Victoria ruled India, the company that would become Unilever decided the country was the future. More than a century on, it's staking $5.4 billion that it still is.
"Unilever is in genuinely robust shape in what is clearly a frustratingly slow growth environment for its categories."

MADURAI: The polling held on Monday for the 13th State Assembly witnessed several funny incidents. Of all, a stray dog, which joined a row of voters on the R.C. School premises at Sholavandan near here, captured the attention of many.
It was 11'o clock in the forenoon session, when the dog entered the premises after managing to escape the paramilitary forces stationed in the main gate of the polling booth, identified as `sensitive.' Even as it took a stroll around the premises, not many noticed it, as the voters were busy locating their booths in the school.
After gazing at all the five booths in the polling station, the mongrel chose the queue at booth No. 61M. It ran towards the queue and quietly sat behind a youngster, who was waiting for his turn to vote. The youth did not realize that a dog followed him, until it got restless after a long wait and sneaked into the booth with a ferocious bark.
Immediately thereafter, there was a big hullabaloo in the booth with the polling officers insisting on chasing away the dog.
When the presiding officer failed to drive out the animal out of the booth, the Central Reserve Police Force succeeded in ousting it.
While the few minutes spent by the dog in the premises created some anxious moments for the polling officers as well as the voters, the lens men were busy filming the movements of the crazy animal!

I do like the fact that I can assign an ISO from 25 to 800 or more. I can load up a bunch of film holders (say all 17) and go on a camping trip and be ready for anything. I can shoot at 25 for cotton candy water, and the next sheet can be at 800 to stop every droplet. I just have to be sure to keep careful notes. Actually, now I keep much better notes than I used to.
I'm not experienced enough to be able to compare and contrast with other films. I have to admit that one of the reasons I buy it is because the Toronto supplier (no consistent local supplier of LF) I get it from always responds promptly to emails and has been very helpful. Plus - his street address is on Silver Shadow Path. How cool is that?
I do find that shooting at lower speeds I get terrific shadow detail, as well as highlights. Even the very thin negatives that resulted from cooling developer have detail right through the shadows. If that doesn't show in the gallery photos you can blame it on my printing, or my scanner if you're feeling kinder.
I've just posted "Thimbleberries" a print from yesterday's session in the darkroom. It was shot on R3 at 800 and developed in Rollei High Speed developer. The deep shadows do lack the detail I would have gotten if I'd shot at 25 or 100 and developed in low speed developer. Take a look.
The only way to tell if you like R3 is to give it a try.

One would assume this wouldn't work but given the fact that the PCI-e version just has an AGP to PCI-e bridge chip, I'd assume the architecture would be the same. In my case, the card works but I have a few "weird" issues that I'd like to resolve by flashing to an AGP bios.
Firstly, the card shows temp, which is good. However, no overclocking is possible. I cannot even underclock actually! Anytime I "test" the new settings, it fails. I'm assuming this is because the wrong card is being detected by the driver.
Any of you bios modders out there have any ideas? I've attempted to reflash the bios but am getting some I/O errors when I try to save the old on or flash a new on (more details later when I'm home to copy them down).
Because the PCX5900xt and FX5900xt share the same gpu chip, you should have few problems flashing and using a 5900 agp bios !
Also, lots of nvidia vga cards have coolbits/rivatuner overclocking issues when using many of the newer drivers. Never appears as a problem when using overclocking tools like powerstrip.
And the problem is mainly resolved by enabling the "DisableInternalClockTest" from within rivatuner ----> At the lower left side of the Rivatuner "Power User" tab, select 'open database' and load the Rivatuner.rtd file. Now at the "Overclocking" sub section, you simply Enable the "DisableInternalClockTest" option by double clicking and entering a '1'

Valencia police issue Bale a "speeding ticket" for Copa Del Rey final goal
Apr 18, 2014, 3:05 PM EDT
After Real Madrid defeated Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey finals 2-1 thanks to Gareth Bale's insane solo goal in the 85th minute, the local law enforcement decided to have some fun.
With the game played in Valencia's Mestalla Stadium, the Valencia police force issued Bale a fake speeding ticket for his race down the touchline past a helpless Marc Bartra, subsequently scoring the winning goal.
The ticket is made out to "Mr. Gareth Bale, RMCF [Real Madrid Club Futbol], 2014 Copa Del Rey champion."
It reads:
"Reckless overtaking, crossing the continuous white line, and exceeding the speed limit."
They went further, adding a vehicle description:
"Registration: 11″ (his kit number)
"Class: A lot"
"Scores: and assists" (Scores is akin to make)
"Model: not at the moment"
They "fined" him 100 euros, because why not? Here's a picture of the ticket:
Also notice, they did not give a ticket to poor Marc Bartra, who was likely only traveling the speed limit when Bale whizzed by him. I'm sure the Valencia police
Unfamiliar with the goal that Bale was issued a speeding ticket for? Here's a look. Try not to blink:

What BALE did was ILLGEAL.
1) It was illegal for Bale to be running that fast & make another man look so bad.
2) It was illegal to go out of bound, came back into the field of play and still be the 1st to touch the ball. Doesn't matter if he was purposely hit to go out of bound.
3) It is just Plain ILLEGAL.

Multiple logical disk resore.
Hello, folks.
I have a porblem:
When full backup of virtual machine is done, i am unable to restore all disks on this machine.
I can see only C:\ drive, but there is no such: D:\, E:\ and so on.
It is posible to make GRT restore only for C:\ drive or full virtual machine restore.
I already deleted and made a new backup job, but it didn't help.
We have Symantec Backup exec 2012 instaled on Windows Server 2008 std.
Thanks in advance.

Is your enviornment Hyper-V or VMware?
Also in terms of the VM you backed up what is different abouth the C: drive compared with D: and E: as it is possibly something to do with those drives cannot be supported by a GRT enabled VM backup?
Does the backup job log have any errors (possibly regarding GRT)?
GRT should work with all drives in a VM (as long as the drive configuration is supported)

Hello / New to Sailing
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to say Hello. I am hoping to get into sailing this summer! I'm not really sure why, but recently my desire to sail has exploded out of no where. I learned a bit when I was a kid flying a sunfish around and 'two manning' a laser with my friend... but any little knowledge learned then is long gone. To be fair, we were happy to successfully coordinate one good tack.
Anyway, I've appreciated lurking around and reading all your posts. It's been educational and interesting so I thought I'd hop in. I picked up a copy of Seidman's The Complete Sailor and it's been a good read so far. Seems a lot like a Stick and Rudder for sailing, for any of you who are sky friendly...
My goal is to buy a small (~22ft) day cruiser in the next couple years and live it up. I am moving to Massachusetts (currently in upstate NY) in the fall, so I'm a little scared I will never be able to afford a place to put her out there... but that can wait for now.
edit: Guess I should add.. Any other books people would recommend reading for a rookie?
