Let me just start out by saying that I love this stuff. As someone with oily skin, this is a must for me. This really, really helps keep my makeup on for as long as possible, and creates such a beautiful, smooth base for my foundation to go on very nicely. Also helps prevent creasing on my eyelids, which no primer I've previously used could do. It's a bit expensive, but a little goes a long way, and I love it. Recommended!

I was surprised to see so many bad reviews about this product. I have used the L'Oreal primer/corrector for about a year now. It has never caused me to break out, and I have very sensitive skin. This product is great for oily skin,acne and possibly wrinkles. It literally creates a mask over imperfections, which creates a smooth canvas for foundation. It has helped me out a lot with hiding acne and imperfections. it also reduced redness instantly. I can see how you would not like this product if you had dry skin. Now that it becoming winter time, and my skin is getting dry, I will probably have to switch to something more moisturizing. This product makes dry skin more noticeable but really helps out oil/imperfections in skin.

I bought this product due to the great reviews. I have sensitive skin that is combination/oily.
I used this product for an evening out makeup look and I do love that it made my skin instantly uplifted and concealed all pores and fine lines. My makeup lasted throughout the night (I use a setting spray as well).
I used the product the next day in my everyday makeup look and was impressed with the results.
The only downfalls would be that my skin started to break out after the second time using it and that the packaging is frankly just off, the bottle is too small to be able to get much at one time and I find myself digging with my nail.

I will start by saying I LOVE this product. It's difficult to fine a base/primer for the face (not just the eyes) that doesn't feel..."funky." I've tried many different primers & used many products as primers (BB creams, moisturizers, etc) & this is by FAR my favorite. I love the texture, the tone, & most of all, the functionality. It's a product that does what it says it's going to do. It minimizes fine lines, smoothes the appearance of large pores, & helps your foundation & concealer last for hours. I have pastey-white SUPER sensitive skin. This product is great. My only issue is that for me, ~$13 is a lot of money for .5 oz of a drugstore product... But I have found it is well worth it. I use this over my moisturizer, but it can also be used alone with great success. I just like using it one top of moisturizer for an extra-smooth application. LONG STORY SHORT: I love this product & will definitely re-purchase!

My mom gave me this because she didn't like it. I can see why. I have very dry skin, and this stuff just clings to my dry patches and makes them look much worse. Not a very pretty sight.
I did a little experiment. I exfoliated my face with a sugar scrub. (I just mix sugar with a face soap, by the way, and it works brilliantly) I ran my hands over my face. Baby smooth! I decided to forgo moisturizer because I didn't want anything to interfere with my informal experiment. After my face dried completely, I put this primer over it, and it still managed to cling to my dry patches (of which I thought there were none) This primer is only "magic" in that it manages to highlight all of my dry patches so I know exactly where to focus my moisturizing efforts. Thanks L'Oreal!
If you're looking for a good drugstore primer, I suggest Hard Candy's Sheer Envy (which has the same texture, just in a tube) or Rimmel's primer.

I have combination skin with pretty regular break outs and this stuff is amazing for me! It keeps me from looking oily, covers dry spots and blemishes well so foundation goes on smoother and totally blurs my pores. I can't imagine using my foundation without it now! This stuff is just awesome! I blend it in small circles around my face and that seems to work best for me. Skin overall looks better after I apply it and makeup goes on so much better! It also works great as an eyelid primer!

I'm a bit torn on this stuff. I've been using it for the last two years and never even thought to look at other primers because I "thought" I liked this one. But then I ventured out and started trying others, and I realized this stuff was making my face greasier than most.
I have combo skin with an oily t-zone and chin, and I was always blotting HEAPS of oil off my face after 3-4 hours. I'm using Laura Mercier's Oil-free primer right now (honestly, not a big fan of this stuff either... returning it today!) and there's not even close to the same amount of oil. But it did seem to magnify my pores and my makeup felt kind of... sticky.
That being said, I do think the L'Oreal one does make my pores look smaller and my my makeup look much smoother. I'm giving Tarte Poreless a try today and if that fails me too, I'll be going back to L'Oreal and just keeping the blotting pads in my purse! It is a good product for the price.
The packaging is okay. It's sturdy and good, but it is a bit annoying to dig your finger into the jar everyday (though honestly, there's easy ways around that if it actually bothers you).

It is cheaper than most primer I used. I love the mashed potato consistency. It feels so bouncy and applied easily but thick. It kept my skin matte and pores blurred, skin texture smooth. I do have to wait for the primer to set before I apply my tinted moisturizer or foundation on. I have dry sensitive skin but I only use this when it is hot and humid outside. My foundation stays for a long time with this primer.

After district residents rejected the proposed 2012 - 2013 budget for a second time on Tuesday, Oppenheim-Ephratah Central School will now have to adopt a contingent budget.
When the $8.5 million proposed budget was first put to a public vote on May 8 with a 4.5 percent tax levy increase, district residents voted 275 to 104 against it.
An exit survey conducted that day showed 81 percent of people who voted against the spending plan listed the tax levy increase as at least one of their reasons for voting against the budget.
The proposed increase was lowered to 2.79 percent for Tuesday's vote, but the budget was defeated 176 to 114.
"We attempted to listen to the voters by lowering the proposed tax levy increase, but in these difficult economic times, voters decided against the 2.79 percent increase as well," Superintendent of Schools Dan Russom said in a news release. "Adopting a contingent budget will result in further cuts at the district, and it is another sign that significant changes will have to be made going forward in order to maintain the quality of educational programs provided to students."
The proposed budget would have increased spending by one percent compared to the current school year. It also included more than $207,000 in spending reductions compared to the 2011 to 2012 budget — including eliminating two custodial and bus driver positions, cutting driver's education and slicing the sports budget in half.
Under a contingent budget, there can be no increase in the tax levy compared to the previous year.
For Oppenheim-Ephratah Central School, adopting a contingent budget will require cutting another almost $116,000 from the proposed budget, meaning the district will have to eliminate the purchase of a new bus and other equipment such as computers and bus cameras.
The district also will have to start charging outside groups to use school facilities.
Also on Tuesday, district residents voted 143 to 130 against a proposition to use about $30,000 of capital reserve money to repair the walk-in cooler and refrigerator in the school cafeteria.
The original equipment was purchased in 1997 and is said to be no longer operating effectively, so school officials will examine other options for repairing the equipment.
All but two of the two dozen school budgets put before New York voters who rejected earlier proposals passed on Tuesday. Cheektowaga-Sloan was the other district to see its budget defeated.

The Delhi Government suffered loss of revenue aggregating Rs.2,706.11 crore during 2011-12, the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India has revealed. The amount was calculated from the test check of records of the Department of Trade and Taxes, State Excise and Entertainment, Transport and Revenue which showed an underassessment/short levy and loss of revenue in 1,655 cases.
"During 2011-12, the Departments concerned accepted underassessment and other deficiencies of Rs.19.14 crore in 1,028 cases which have been pointed out in the audit. Of these, the Departments recovered Rs.1.23 crore in 187 cases during 2011-12," noted the report on 'Revenue Sector, Social Sector and Economic Sector (PSUs)'' for the year ended March 31, 2012.
The report also revealed that the total revenue receipts of the State Government during 2011-12 were Rs. 22,393.18 crore. Of the Rs. 20,432.54 crore raised by the State Government, Rs. 19,971.67 was tax revenue; Rs.460.87 crore was non-tax revenue and Rs. 1,960.64 were receipts from the Union Government.
The report further noted: "Irregular claim of exemption/concessional rate of tax without furnishing proper statutory forms resulted in short payment of tax of Rs. 2,310.14 crore including interest of Rs. 404.30 crore." It also noted the failure of the department to collect tax and interest on belated payment from cable operators (amounting to Rs.1 crore), failure of the department to recover interest worth Rs. 4.89 crore from DTH service providers on delayed deposit of tax and failure to collect luxury tax amounting to Rs.9.76 crore from hoteliers.
The Delhi Integrated Multi Model Transit System Limited was also slammed in the report for not depositing advertisement revenue collected from Bus Queue Shelters on BRT corridors amounting to Rs. 8.93 crore in the Government account. Instead, the amount was adjusted against the expenses on operation and maintenance of the corridor, said the report.
Among the Delhi Government's PSUs, profits were made by Delhi Transco Limited (Rs. 1005.33 crore), Indraprastha Power Generation Company Limited (Rs. 397. 14 crore), Pragati Power Corporation Limited (Rs. 220.26 crore), Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (Rs.123.52 crore) and Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation Limited (Rs. 20.86 crore). On the other hand, heavy losses were incurred by Delhi Transport Corporation (Rs.2335.13 crore) and Delhi Power Company Limited (Rs. 82.64 crore).
The losses were mainly attributable to deficiencies in planning, monitoring and implementation of projects and financial management, noted the report.
While the State has continuously shown an increasing trend in revenue surplus, it came down to Rs.4,428.31 crore in 2011-12. The report said major schemes that failed to take off or suffered due to non-utilisation of entire provision included grants-in-aid for municipal reforms (Rs.300.93 crore), equity for power stabilisation funds to DPCL (Rs.200 crore), special scheme for grant-in-aid to DJB for development of sewerage and water supply in the Assembly constituencies (Rs.70 crore), loan to MCD for construction of roads under JNNURM (Rs. 50.60 crore) and district and other road – other expenditure – Central Road Fund schemes (Rs. 50 crore).

MINNEAPOLIS As the Minnesota Twins look for answers in the middle infield in 2013, many eyes will be watching some of the team's young infielders. But there's a chance a 39-year-old journeyman could be the answer at one of the two positions. That veteran would be Jamey Carroll, who enters his second season in a Twins uniform. Minnesota marked his fifth team in his 11-year career. Despite his advanced age, Carroll played 138 games for the Twins in 2012, eight games shy of his career high set in 2011 with the Dodgers. Now entering his 18th spring training, Carroll believes age is just a number. "Everybody else talks about it more than I do," said Carroll, who will turn 39 later this month. "I know how I feel. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel. I feel like I can still do the things I've been able to do." Carroll batted .268 with a .343 on-base percentage and 40 RBI in 2012 and committed 12 errors. Of the 138 games Carroll played last season, he spent the majority of his time at se...

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

Perched in the Clown-Dunk with a fifth of scotch, Sweeney (Mark Johannes) serves as both chorus and antihero of Guyer's World of Mirth. A jester with a Nietzschean bent, he shouts into his microphone the cynical truths his fellow circus performers avoid. Though misery is this comedian's shtick, don't expect to find a painted tear running down his cheek. As sentimental as a serial killer on the lam, he'll rip the lungs out of anyone who comes within two feet of his broken heartstrings.
Needless to say, it's not a happy time for the World of Mirth circus. Not only has the Frogman drowned himself, but a hurricane has left the place flooded and without electricity. The backstage freak showreplete with booze, four-letter words, and suicidehas begun to surpass even the Wild Woman of Borneo's gross-out act.
P.R. Man
By Robert Lyons
The Ohio Theatre
66 Wooster Street
With the operation indefinitely suspended, pink slips are flying. First to get the ax is Emmett (George Bartenieff), an old heroin addict whose whimpering for mercy falls on deaf ears until a temp job and bag of "medicine" are offered as a stopgap. Augie (Kieran Campion), a young carny in love with a mute, wants to rescue the ill-fated Clown-Dunk, which he co-owns with Sweeney. His sappy entreaties to his partner to straighten up his foul-mouth act, however, are met with eviscerating disdain.
A few too many wisecracks at the fire inspector's expense leave Sweeney with a face full of bloody pancake makeup. Fat chance, though, of a beating shutting up this bilious buffoon. Like one of those inflatable Bozo punching bags, he bounces back smiling each time he's hit. Guyer has created a consummately annoying central character with virtually no potential for change. Frozen in his own bitterness, Sweeney's only option is to do himself ina dramatic choice devoutly to be wished after nearly two hours of his nonstop harangues.
This barking fool might have nobly served as a peripheral commentator, but he's too one-dimensional to be the featured gig. If his splenetic intellect seems sharp, it's only relative to the deluded wretches around himhe's merely the smartest in the slowest class. Though there's definitely a method to the malignancy (derailing Augie from a Big Tent career is clearly part of Sweeney's agenda), World of Mirth does little more than inspire a few bars of "Send Out the Clowns." Director Dona D. Vaughn's cast is fully committed to their remedial roles, but all the grit in the world can't endow Guyer's caustic skit with genuine character.
Robert Lyons's comic-book-esque satire P.R. Man revolves around an unprincipled spin doctor who's called in by Delicious Apples to replace the term "toxic sludge" with the more friendly "biosoil." Apparently the company's fertilizer has been wreaking neurological havoc on orchard communities in the Midwest. But why bother to correct the problem when verbal whitewashing is so much less expensive? Paul Mann (Chris Henry Coffey) would argue that his publicity efforts provide an even more effective solution (and he just so happens to have a few testimonials lined up to prove it). Slickly attired in his Barneys best, this six-figure-a-year, porno-addicted slimebag demonstrates a decontructionist's understanding of the way language fixes reality. (Could it be merely a coincidence that his namesake is the notorious Paul de Man, the literary critic who jettisoned the signs and signifiers of his own Nazi past?)
No one expects to be suckered into liking any of Lyons's ethically retarded characters, yet it would be fun to admire their devilish panache. The flaccidness of the wit, however, makes this impossible. (The overall style is reminiscent of those seemingly unkillable syndicated comics that are neither funny nor serious.) Lyons further miscalculates by introducing a love interest into a situation that is otherwise lacking in human feeling. The willfully kooky supporting cast offers only hastily colored magic-marker portraits, while the leads' stylized delivery undermines both their romantic and lampooning ends.
Lyons's direction, on the other hand, has its share of ingenious moments. Set in a hotel room equipped with wicked eavesdropping acoustics, the sinister public relations plot emanates from Paul's magical briefcase, from which his cronies make furtive entrances and exits. Too bad this freewheeling imagination wasn't lavished on the characters. A few distinctly credible voices would have added some pop to Lyons's familiar cultural critique.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
A teaming arrangement is a form of business arrangement that involves two or more companies coming together and combining resources for a specific purpose. Companies sometimes utilize teaming arrangements when bidding for contracts awarded by the Federal Government. Each company in a teaming arrangement has a specific set of responsibilities, with one company generally serving as the prime contractor and one or more companies serving as subcontractors. Such arrangement may be desirable for businesses looking to complement each other's capabilities.
Businesses should use care when structuring a teaming arrangement, particularly if they wish to maintain their autonomy and be viewed as separate entities. Otherwise, the teaming arrangement could be viewed as a joint venture, with participants to the arrangement considered affiliated, or a single entity for size determination purposes.
Affiliation occurs when one participant to the teaming arrangement is dependent on another for business to such a degree that its economic viability would be in jeopardy without such business. Factors considered in determining affiliation include who will manage the contract; which participants possess background and expertise for contract performance; the degree of collaboration in preparing and submitting competitive proposals; whether there are discrete tasks to be performed by each participant or commingling of personnel and resources; and the amount and type of work to be performed by each participant.
When a teaming arrangement is deemed affiliated, smaller participants could be at risk for not qualifying as a "small business" under the Small Business Act ("SBA") and lose the benefits associated with such designation. Consultation with legal counsel is therefore recommended for businesses desiring to enter into a teaming arrangement to ensure the arrangement is properly structured.

good stuff
December 13, 2011 BY John Kim / 19
It was yet another interesting week in NCAA Men's Basketball this week, with plenty of big-name schools shuffling up and down the national ranks. Syracuse has claimed the #1 ranking thanks to its spotless 10-0 record, while other top-ranked schools suffered a few losses to bring them down the Top 25. But we're focusing on the sneakers, and boy, do we have a treat for you. Not much more can be said about San Diego State, who is undoubtedly the most well-dressed group in the nation (CDP IVs, Cool Grey XIs, Low-top Air Jordan VIIIs), but there was a lot more to see around the league. The most surprising sighting was the Air Zoom Generation in the 'Wheat' colorway, spotted on the feet of Long Beach State's Larry Anderson , the Playoff XII on Huskies Freshman Tony Wroten, the LeBron 9 Miami Nights on Victor Ojeleye of the Kansas St. Wildcats, and some new Kobe VI iD's on U of M's Kenny Kadji. There's a lot more to see once you click below, so check out the best NCAA kicks from the past week and let us know who takes the top spot. via Yahoo!.

Tiger Foam On Duct Work
Hi all,
I am considering using Tiger Foam on our central air heating duct work to keep more heat in the forced air. The basement is unfinished with walk out and the exterior walls have R23 Roxoul insulation. The basement will get colder once the duct work is insulated.
Are there any risks to cutting down indirect heating of the basement through exposed duct work. Could the basement become too cold for water pipes etc. I am located near Toronto Ont so the winters temps do drop to -25 Celcius or -10 Fahrenheit.
You should have enough duct openings in your basement to keep it warm enough to prevent the pipes from freezing. I'm sure that having the warm ducts helps, but probably not that much.
To avoid the issue at my house I installed a couple of operable damper duct openings. I can open them in the winter to warm the basement and close them in the spring, summer, and fall.

Triple bummer
Brooklyn's Oneida want to harsh your mellow.
By Kimberly Chun
WHITHER WENT THE angry hippy? Did he disappear into some Grass Valley meth fortress after Altamont? Is she still furiously monkey-wrenching, pounding steel pegs into redwoods, or simply settling for divvying up her Working Assets dividends among her favorite charities? Is he pushing and shoving in the dance circle at the latest Other Ones hoedown? In any case, the bad trips and dank, dark underbelly of the bohemian boomer legacy have obsessed post-'60s artists and musicians such as Raymond Pettibon, Bongwater, and Sonic Youth since the '80s, and the fascination with utopias past and present continues in the minds of Brooklyn, N.Y., trio Oneida, named after the 1800s New York Christian utopian community, which preached the withdrawal method, found new and unusual ways for its members to draw from a pool of virgins, and eventually spawned the utensil company. Free love and flatware, Spahn Ranch and Williamsburg, Brooklyn these are the things that Oneida are made of.
But don't get them wrong. The band harbors a real affection for the Summer of Love and the hate that followed, says bassist-vocalist Hanoi Jane, a.k.a. Baby Jane, a.k.a Le Shiv. "I think the '60s represented an era of experimentation, and we're all fascinated with experiments gone awry, either cultural terror or psychic terror. The '60s were such a wonderful period of psychic horror, and we're rediscovering the terrible side of the trip, not in the terrified way but in an excited, embracing way," he says on the phone from his Brooklyn home, adding that he just returned from work at Scholastic Books and is slamming back a whiskey as fast as he can.
New words I can handle, and Oneida provides. "Tragi-psych" is the term the trio coined around the time of their fourth album, 2001's Anthem of the Moon (Jagjaguwar), a full-frontal embrace of psychedelia, released after they won over British music writers with the cock rock of 2000's Come on Everybody Let's Rock (Jagjaguwar). "That's when we started talking about the idea of epic psychedelic songs about total mania and loss of self," Jane says.
With that loss came a new identity: the angry acid casualty. "We're kind of hippies, but we're, like, vicious," says drummer-vocalist Kid Millions, a.k.a. Man Forever, on the phone from Brooklyn. "There's no jamming we don't jam. What we do is really refined. We try to find riffs and focus on how those develop within their own context and with repetition. At least for myself in drumming, I find the more I play, the less I play. The more extraneous fills and doodads fall to the side."
A former booker for the Knitting Factory in NYC, Kid speaks slowly and deliberately lest he tumble headlong into the "fugue state of fear" that accompanies not only bad acid but also rotten interviews. He's girding himself to go into rehearsal for the group's upcoming tour: Kid and keyboardist-vocalist Fat Bobby, a.k.a. Bobby Matador, will perform as People of the North during the first half, and Jane will join them for the West Coast portion as Oneida. The band will be back in the Bay Area for the first time in four years Feb. 19, after crawling away from a single San Francisco show that Kid calls "disastrous."
This time they have talismans to ward off bad mojo: a recent split CD with the Liars, Atheists Reconsider (Arena Rock Recordings), on which the two groups cover each other's songs, and last fall's much praised double CD, Each One Teach One (Jagjaguwar), which plummets down the rabbit hole of punk, drone, dance music, art rock, and psychedelia once explored by Can and Pere Ubu. Named after various social movements' calls to education, Each One Teach One is addictive stuff: starting with two 14-minute songs, including the trance- and pogo-inducing one-note, eight-word drone of "Sheets of Easter," continuing to the almost snappy title track, and extending to the arch, self-conscious new wave of "People of the North" and the barking madness of "Rugaru."
That's the beauty of Oneida's "one-step," says Kid, who, along with Fat Bobby, DJs Miami freestyle and dance music at Brooklyn bars. They started DJing after scavenging boxes of discarded dance discs that were left on the street. "I think it's really connected to the side of Oneida that writes 'Sheets of Easter,' a repetitive, pulsating, intense, sonic experience, like that song 'Rock Me' by Connie or like 'Let the Music Play' by Shannon," Kid says.
"Bobby's got a bunch of tapes; he calls the genre 'stern yet true.' The beats and electronics are very stern yet true. Our beats we try to make them as stern as possible.... No trappings, no extras, no lies. They don't lie, man," Kid rambles, before abruptly dropping the notion. "It's all facetious. They're all nice."
No need to break that flight of fancy. Sober austerity and discipline are the last things you'd associate with Kid, Bobby, and Jane, who appear to be running the band as a mutating, "transient" art project, with ever multiplying pseudonyms, wide-open musical goals, and a community of likeminded musicians such as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Broke Revue, and Oakley Hall (which includes ex-Oneida singer Papa Crazee, a.k.a. PCRZ, a.k.a. the Beatles).
The band began in 1996 when Kid and Crazee met at a party and drunkenly committed to recording an album together. "In the next eight months, they recorded on a four-track, achieving insane heights of infidelity," Hanoi Jane says, describing the making of the 1997 Turnbuckle full-length A Place Called El Shaddai.
For their touring band on that ill-fated maiden outing, the duo added Fat Bobby and Hanoi Jane (dubbed when the group considered calling themselves the Fondas). When they returned, they decided to become a full-fledged rock band, complete with decision by group consensus, even as Crazee quit Oneida in November 2001. "Bobby and I brought the soul to the band. We just used them for their financial resources," Jane jokes.
After the tour the band will put out an EP on Ace Fu this spring, work on a soundtrack for Speedo (a documentary about a demolition derby driver), and complete their next album, which already has a title, The Wedding, and a new sound, Left Banke-style baroque pop.
Monkey-wrenching your assumptions is still a goal, Kid says, in the interest of preserving the Oneida family feeling. "Our perversity might be a way to make it difficult for us to be approached, like starting an album with 'Sheets of Easter,' " he observes. "Other people will say, 'Song X is really catchy. Why don't you start the album with that?' And we're like, 'Huuuuhh?' "
Oneida play Wed/19, 9 p.m., Bottom of the Hill, 1233 17th St., S.F. $8. (415) 621-4455.

Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka admits he was forced to take his missed penalty in the Champions League against his will.
Anelka was also critical of the decision by Chelsea staff to throw him on for the final few minutes of the Champions League final even though he had hardly warmed up.
"At no point did I think I was going to come on," he said. "I was on the bench for 110 minutes and suddenly I am asked to play, not even a minute after I was sent out to warm up.
"I don't know if that has ever happened in a Champions League final, in a match of that intensity, that a player has gone on to the pitch without having warmed up. When you go on, you have to be ready to run!"
The former Manchester City striker was Chelsea's fall-guy, taking the seventh and what proved to be the final penalty for the Londoners that was palmed aside by Edwin Van der Sar.
Anelka admitted he had refused to be one of the Blues' original penalty-takers.
"I was asked to take one of the first five kicks," he said.
"But I said: 'That is out of the question, I have come on basically as a right-back and you want me to take a penalty.'
"So I had to go in seventh but Van der Sar pushed away my shot. All the better for him, that is the game."

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
Last week was one of the longest of my life. I was not feeling well, and any of the everyday frustrations I had were compounded by my illness.It all started late last Sunday night. I went to bed, not feeling great, but hoping the moment would pass. That didn't quite happen, of course. I woke up Monday around 4 a.m., and I could barely move or function. I was coughing, I could barely breathe, and I was wavering between burning up and freezing. It became apparent, very quickly, that I would have to do the unthinkable, and call into work. Typically, I hate calling in sick. I always feel like I'm letting everyone down by admitting that I am not Superman, and that I have to take care of myself, before I can take care of anyone or anything else. Last week, however, was a different story entirely. When faced with the idea that I would need to call the office, I didn't put up a fight. I picked up the phone, made the call - complete with a voice that made me sound like Elmer Fudd from those old Bugs Bunny cartoons - hung up and went back to bed. I had hoped, rather irrationally, that I would be well enough to go to work Tuesday, but I felt even worse when I woke up that day. My wife informed me, in no uncertain terms, that I would be going to the doctor, and not to work. Again, strangely enough, I didn't argue with her. Even though I knew being out of work for two days in a row would put me further behind once I returned to the office, I knew I had to take care of myself. Normally, I rail against going to the doctor for anything, but since I was feeling worse than I had in years, any sense of pride I had was long gone by the time we made the appointment. I tested negative for strep throat, but it seemed like I had just about everything else. When my doctor handed me my prescription, I again refrained from whining. Instead, I ate my soup, I took my pills and I went to bed early. The hardest part of the whole ordeal, for me wasn't the coughing or the sneezing, or even being out of work. It was the fact that, while I was sick, some friends at my church were dealing with the loss of their father. He had died of cancer. I wanted to be there for the family, and to show my support. However, deep down, I knew that if I had gone to the funeral home, or the service the following day, I would have been going so that people didn't wonder where I was, and think badly of me for not being there. So, I prayed for the family, kept them in my thoughts, and focused on getting better. Some might read this, and be under the impression that I'm growing as a person. The truth is, I was just that sick. It's taken a few days, but I think I'm back to full strength now. I'm a firm believer in the idea that everything that happens to us is designed to teach us something. And so, I've taken a few lessons from this experience. I've learned that stubbornness - i.e., refusing to go to the doctor - doesn't always equal strength. I've learned that taking medicine doesn't mean I'm weak. I've learned that the best way to make sure I can meet the needs of another, is to first make sure they don't have to worry about me. I've also learned that I still hate taking medicine, but I hate whining about it even worse. Jason A. Smith covers crime and courts for the Henry Daily Herald.

Re: Flight Simulator X Full Version Feedback Thread
Oops, don't forget the Flight Simulator X wikipedia page! This one shows exactly which planes you get and the difference between the standard and deluxe versions.
As to performance FSX is CPU bound provided you have fast GPU, so your FSX performance hinges on CPU speed. I take all my images with my normal in game settings, so what you see from me is running on the system in my sig.
If you have specific questions about add ons go ahead and post, otherwise every add on I own has been discussed in this this thread, which is true for many others as well.
Also take a look at Microsofts FSInsider site. You can get the FSX demo from here, so if you don't have it you better grab it.
EDIT: By the way most of the ground scenery you see posted is a product called FTX. Its a $30 add on and covers only australia at the moment. It looks so good many people have not flown outside of Oz since its release.
As far as the default scenery goes it covers the entire world with accurate elevation data, water data, landclass data, etc. The default is a lot more generic though than the high detailed add on scenery. FSX simulates the entire globe, as it is, so its pretty cool, especially with some add ons.

Get Rid of Silverfish Naturally
Whenever we see these pests called silverfish in any parts of the house, make sure that we get rid of them quickly. A lot of people will think of using harmful chemicals immediately, but there are actually ways that you can apply to get rid of them without the use of these products.
So how to get rid of silverfish naturally?
The first and most important step on getting rid of silverfish bugs is to get rid of excess moisture in your home. It has been known that these silverfish pests thrive in areas that has the presence of moisture like the attic, laundry rooms, kitchen and bathrooms sinks and even your garage. They are quickly attracted to areas with high humidity and water. Immediately fix any leaky pipes and invest in a dehumidifier. Although this product will cost you, it will keep silverfish at bay.
Another important step is to take precautions that you would with other bugs. This means that you keep your place clean and the floor free of old food or crumbs. These pests are like any other pests. If there is a presence of food around, for sure they will thrive. They can eat numerous materials such as paper, crumbs, mold, cotton, silk and linen. They also love paste and starch that is why you can also see them thrive in wallpapers, books and bookshelves. So whenever you see a silverfish infestation, immediately seal up your cracks and fill the holes in your house and even the edges in your walls and foundation. By doing so, it will prevent these pests form entering.
You may also try using garlic cloves. Use whole cloves to deter silverfish, as they hate the smell of garlic cloves. Place cloves conspicuously in areas where you see frequent silverfish. Do not miss out on cracks and holes or even the back corners and shelves that you feel they might be hiding in. Eventually the silverfish will give up because the smell of cloves will be everywhere and this will be like a kryptonite for them. If this does not work, you may try using lavender. Dry them and put them on the same areas. Just like garlic cloves, they will hate the smell of lavender and will die eventually.
All the steps mentioned about are just precautionary measures when dealing with silverfish.
The best advice that we could give on how to get rid of silverfish naturally still lies in proper and cautious initiative of homeowners in their homes. It is very important to keep your homes clean and dry all the time as this not only prevents the presence of silverfish but all other pests as a whole. Make sure that you and all family members make a joint effort to fight back with the pests whether they are silverfish or not. But if any of these steps does not work, you may contact your trusted pest control provider and have them scan your whole house for presence of silverfish as well as other pesky little pests.

Automated Demand Response Program
The Automated Demand Response Program (Auto-DR) utilizes communications technology to send businesses demand response signals and implement load reductions automatically through facility control systems.
How does it work?
Auto-DR conducts a thorough analysis of your site's unique and ongoing energy needs. SDG&E and the facility energy manager identify demand reduction strategies, such as managing lighting and HVAC systems, in order to reduce or even eliminate electrical usage during times of high demand.
Customers are provided with funds to pre-program energy management and control systems. During times of high electricity demands or emergencies, SDG&E sends an automated signal to these systems which initiates a series of pre-programmed and pre-authorized demand reduction strategies via internet.
Demand Response events can occur during hot, peak-energy use days. The system monitors load reduction and generates a next-day report showing financial results as well as energy usage details.
Who Can Participate?
Auto-DR is open to all SDG&E business customers in the service territory with registered demands of 20 kW or more.
This registered demand of 20 kW is on one service account.
Each participating service account must have an interval meter.
How to Participate
- Getting Started with Auto-DR
SDG&E business customers may contact their SDG&E account representative or the Energy Information Center at 1-800-644-6133 to request technical assistance.
This process involves:
- Discussing your business' demand response potential
- Scheduling a free preliminary assessment
- Receiving a detailed Technical Audit
- Completing registration forms that will help SDG&E staff schedule technical assistance and reserve funds for technology incentives
- Testing and verification that the DR equipment accomplishes the load reduction
The preliminary assessment will be performed by an engineer who will determine whether a more in-depth technical audit of projected load reduction potential in your facility is recommended.
- Reserve Incentive Funds for Your Business
With TATI, you are able to reserve technology incentives prior to proceeding with the installation of qualifying technologies. To reserve incentive funds:
- Request and complete a Technology Incentive Reservation Request
- Send SDG&E your completed Application for Technology Incentive
- Once your request is confirmed by SDG&E, the reservation will be in effect for 180 calendar days
Once one or more qualifying demand-response technologies have been purchased and installed in your facility, you can apply to receive technology incentives.
Upon availability of funding and Measurement and Verification (M&V) of your facility's dispatchable load reduction potential due to the installed qualifying technology, you will be reimbursed up to $300 per kilowatt of measured and verified load reduction.
This amount will not exceed the actual reasonable cost of the purchase and installation of the qualifying technology.
Technology incentives are available on a first-come, first-served basis until funding is depleted or the Program is terminated, whichever comes first.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
My Rating
The highlight of the tour was Santa Marta. A great way to see a favela while giving back to its community members with the opportunity to purchase local-made crafts and goods. Very safe. Fascinating history of Michael Jackson and celebrity visits to the favela, and friendly and welcoming locals. Our tour guide Daniel was very knowledgeable. The Santa Teresa trolley hasn't run since 2011 so that is a bit misleading. Much of that neighborhood is under construction and not spectacular, but still worth a visit simply for the sight of the spectacular tile staircase, "Escadaria Selaron." Christ the Redeemer also a must-see. Overall, our guide, driver, and tour group were all very friendly and it was a great day.

The world is familiar with refugee movements caused by war, famine, and natural disasters. It is overwhelmingly the poorer third world states that do not close their borders and accept millions of refugees, some of whom remain for years. Today, among developed countries, the United States, Sweden, and Finland offer temporary shelter to victims of natural disasters, and Denmark accepted some Afghan drought victims from 2001 to 2006. Global warming, however, is already on the point of creating a new category — the climate refugee. According to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), current mitigation efforts could result in a global average temperature rise of 3 degrees Celsius rather than 2 degrees. In that event, the Economic Review of Climate Change (the Stern Review) suggests, 550 million more people would be at risk of hunger, and 170 million more would suffer severe coastal floods. Crop yields would fall sharply, and there would be more droughts interspersed with more severe flooding. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says that climate change may displace 150 million people by 2050; the Stern Review puts the figure at 200 million.
Larger climate changes pose potentially gigantic refugee problems. To start with, it is harder to identify the victims of slower processes than those of sudden natural disasters. Secondly, the victims of wider climate change fall through the net of definitions in international law. The current U.N. treaty, the Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, dates from 1951, and applies only to those who fear or flee persecution. As for internal displacement, the current U.N. document, Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, dates from 1998 and is not legally binding, though it seems to cover most of those who flee natural disasters but do not cross national borders. The problem with more severe climate change is that those who cross national borders will not be covered by any U.N. instrument, as they will not satisfy the 1951 definition of refugees. A senior U.N. official says that reopening the 1951 convention would be legally risky because the original negotiations that brought it into being were very difficult, and it may be no easier to reach an agreement now. The difficulty of reaching, let alone enforcing, any agreement will be compounded by the fact that it is the poorest in the poorest countries who will suffer most and in the greatest numbers.

Sandoz Subsidiary Allegedly Submitted Claims for Drug Determined to be Ineligible by FDA
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Eon Labs Inc. has agreed to pay the United States $3.5 million to resolve False Claims Act allegations relating to the company's drug Nitroglycerin Sustained Release (SR) capsules, the Justice Department announced today. Eon Labs is a subsidiary of Sando Inc., which is in turn a subsidiary of Novartis AG.
In April 1999, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) determined that Nitroglycerin SR lacked substantial evidence of effectiveness and published a notice proposing to withdraw approval of the product. The government contends that, after the FDA notice, Nitroglycerin SR no longer was legally eligible for reimbursement by government health care programs such as Medicaid.

AP to release 7 tmcft over 4 months; drinking water supply can be maintained around 640 mld
The Andhra Pradesh government has agreed to release two thousand million cubic feet (tmcft) of Krishna water to Tamil Nadu every month, for three months, starting from April.
By the end of June, Tamil Nadu will get six tmcft. In July, one tmcft will be supplied.
The Andhra Pradesh government has come out with this plan to provide seven tmcft to Tamil Nadu so that the drinking water supply in Chennai can be maintained comfortably at a level of around 640 million litres a day (mld) for another six months.
As per the 1983 agreement, Tamil Nadu is to get 12 tmcft from Andhra Pradesh and this can be given in two spells. The Kandaleru reservoir, the terminal storage point of the Krishna river system in Andhra Pradesh, has storage of about 24 tmcft.Election Commission clearance sought
Giving the details of the discussion held last week between teams of the two States, a senior official said Andhra Pradesh Chief Secretary P.K. Mohanty had made it clear to the Tamil Nadu team that his administration, to be on the safer side, would seek the Election Commission's clearance for the proposed water supply arrangement. As per the proposal, once the Commission's clearance is obtained, the supply will begin on March 25.
As on Friday, the combined storage of the reservoirs catering to Chennai's water supply was around 3.3 tmcft which will be sufficient to meet the requirements till July. This year's saving grace is that the Veeranam tank has been contributing 180 mld to Chennai's supply whereas, last year, its storage was virtually nil.
Pointing this out, another official said Chennai Metrowater had a contingency plan in place to tackle the supply position.

Life in the Inca World
How do we know about the Inca world? We owe many thanks to Huaman Poma, the son of an Inca chief, who traveled around the lands of Tahuantinsuyu
and illustrating what life was like in the Inca empire before, during, and after the Spanish Conquest. He sent
The First New Chronicle and Good Government
to the King of Spain, pleading for better treatment for his people. Apparently, the king never saw it. But the descriptions and drawings in Huaman Poma's book have been very valuable in showing us Inca life.
Inca Diet
The Incas subsisted mostly on potatoes,
guinea pigs
, corn and quinoa, a high-protein grain. Potatoes were so basic that the Incas grew more than 200 kinds and developed ways to freeze-dry them so that they could be stored for long periods of time. The potato was so important to the Incas that they used the length of time it takes to boil a potato as their way of measuring time.

Mac Noob Alert - iBook & RAM
Okay, so I'm sort of new to Macs.... Well, I grew up with them, but went to PCs for a while. I bought an old iBook this summer, but it's a bit slower than I wanted. I mainly purchased this because I wanted a simple, small laptop for basic things. But, I'm wondering now if I should try to upgrade the RAM. I don't know if it's too old to even be able to buy RAM for it, and how much I could add. Or how complicated it would be.
This is most of the info from the System Profiler. If anyone could clue me in on any of my questions, I'd be very happy!
Machine Name: iBook
Machine Model: PowerBook4,1
CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (22.15)
CPU Speed: 500 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 384 MB
Bus Speed: 67 MHz

Sales Order Number: M7692LL/A

I'm typing on that exact same machine right now, with the same amount of RAM. You definitely can upgrade the RAM on it by replacing the user-accessible 256 MB chip with a 512 MB chip to bring you up to 640 MB. That'll definitely help.
Unfortnately, that type of RAM is a bit pricey these days, so you'd probably be looking at close to $100 to pick one up. Check DMS or OWC...they both have wizards that allow you to put in the model of your machine and they'll show you the proper RAM options for it.

That's what you want, and others on Slashdot. But "you" must accept you aren't the typical user.
If these are the features that would help sell phones, then those are the features people would get. Do you seriously think Apple, Samsung, LG etc. does no market research before prepping a new release of a phone? If there was such a huge market out there demanding these phones and willing to spend money on them, of course there will be phones to buy to fill that market and get the money!
This is the same argument about women in the workforce being "cheaper" (underpaid). We hear the (rightful) argument all the time on Slashdot that if women are so much cheaper than men, companies would just hire women and save money. It's the same thing here -- if making these phones is going to all of a sudden give a huge boost to a company's revenue, they would have already done it. Time to face reality - most users don't want these things.

ClarckC, I would have to agree with you on this unfortunately. The other thing that I would add that does not look good for the future is that the players seem not to be getting better once they get here. If you are not going to get elite talent you have to develop the good talent you get. Without naming names I have been seeing a pattern of players staying the same or getting worse during their 4 years here in Palo Alto. I hope the new guys next year can give the team a bigger lift because I don't see us being a top 25 team with what we have. To add to that, I am dissapointed with the schedule this year, way to soft for the tradition we have. I hope we are not dumbing down our schedule because we know we don't have the talent to compete. I think that would be a recipe for disaster.

Great template….I'm thinking it will be a good fit for me as I need a website to start networking with other authors/writers around the world as I am an upcoming children's book writer.

Staff Reporter
HYDERABAD: A farmer M. Bikshapati, 37, and six members of his family attempted suicide near the Assembly on Tuesday, the Saifabad police said.
The farmer, along with his wife, mother and four children walked up to the Assembly Gate-1 from Nizam Club around 8.15 a.m. While crossing the road, they doused themselves with kerosene and tried to set themselves aflame near Gate-1.
A traffic police constable Sd. Mustafa, who was on duty there, rushed towards them, snatched the kerosene cans from their hands and prevented them from entering the Assembly gate. Later, they were handed over to the Saifabad police.
Bikshapati hails from Ibrahimpatnam of the neighbouring Ranga Reddy district. He told the police that he had a dispute with his cousin Yadaiah over 4.5 acres of land in the village. He maintained that he and his family were vexed as the dispute could not be resolved.
No case was registered against them. They were assured of putting up the matter before the higher ups and let off.

Fueled by the controversy during the 2013 proxy season over access to interim vote tallies, "enhanced confidential voting" proposals have been submitted to over a dozen high profile companies for the 2014 proxy season, including Verizon Communications, Inc., Amazon.com, Inc. and United Continental Holdings, Inc. A majority of these shareholder proposals have been submitted by shareholder activist, John Chevedden, and are based on a shareholder proposal that was submitted to CenturyLink, Inc. last year. That proposal received 42% approval from shareholders, despite an apparent recommendation against the proposal from proxy advisor Glass, Lewis & Co., according to Reuters. A similar proposal recently also received 40% approval at the annual shareholders meeting of Whole Foods Market, Inc. on February 24, 2014.
The "enhanced confidential voting" proposal would restrict management's access to a running tally of votes and prohibit their use of such information for the solicitation of votes, except for the purpose of achieving a quorum or "other proper purposes." Votes on the election of directors and contested proxy solicitations are excluded from the restriction.
Multiple no-action requests have been submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by companies in receipt of this shareholder proposal, and SEC responses are still pending. Companies have generally argued that the proposal is impermissibly vague and indefinite so as to be inherently misleading, is false and misleading, or deals with ordinary business operations. Omnicom Group Inc. took its opposition to the proposal to court. Verizon adopted a Policy on Interim Vote Tallies, which provides that it will, upon request, authorize Broadridge to provide interim voting tallies to certain shareholders conducting exempt solicitations. As a result, Verizon's no-action request also argues that the enhanced confidential voting proposal has been substantially implemented.
It is not clear whether Verizon's argument that it substantially implemented the proposal will prevail with the SEC, as Verizon's policy is aimed at "maintaining a level playing field" by providing voting information to certain shareholders, while the enhanced confidential voting proposal is aimed at restricting voting information from the company. On the other hand, Verizon's policy seems to align favorably with Institutional Shareholder Services' (ISS) Proxy Voting Disclosure, Confidentiality and Vote Tabulation policy. The ISS policy will evaluate proposals on a case-by-case basis for transparency, consistency and fairness in the proxy voting process. It will take into consideration factors such as the company's stated confidential voting policy (or other relevant policies) and whether it ensures a "level playing field" by providing shareholder proponents with equal access to vote information prior to the annual meeting, and also the company's vote standard for management and shareholder proposals and whether it ensures consistency and fairness in the proxy voting process and maintains the integrity of vote results.
Companies are no doubt anxiously awaiting the SEC's decision on whether these proposals can be excluded from their proxy statements. Regardless of the SEC's decision this year, it is likely not the last we will hear regarding these proposals, given the level of shareholder support for similar proposals at CenturyLink and Whole Foods.

Stickers may lead to stretchable electronics
June 19, 2009
Wrinkling, blisters and delamination on stickers applied to curved or bendable surfaces are usually an annoyance, but examining this phenomena has led researchers to a new, powerful approach to fabricating stretchable electronics that could pave the way to the production of components with very high mechanical resistance.

Some folks may not like Beyoncé singing about what goes on in the privacy of her bedroom, but the "Partition" singer said she's beyond being embarrassed by her own sexuality.
"Women should own their sexuality," she recently told Out magazine. "Men are free and women are not. That is crazy. The old lessons of submissiveness and fragility made us victims. Women are so much more than that."
Beyoncé caught some flack for a recent performance of "Drunk In Love" in which she poured herself over hubby Jay-Z wearing the tiniest of outfits. Since then, news personality Bill O'Reilly slammed her for the "Partition" song, which describes sex in the back seat of a limo.
Now that she's a mother, some seem to expect Beyoncé to cover up a bit and keep it PG, but she's not accepting that stereotype.
"You can be a businesswoman, a mother, an artist, and a feminist—whatever you want to be—and still be a sexual being. It's not mutually exclusive," she said.
It wasn't just critics who were shocked by Beyoncé's risqué self-titled surprise album. Her Destiny's Child sister Michelle Williams admitted she was caught off guard by the racy lyrics.
"She's liberated; she's free," Michelle told HipHollywood.com in January. "To hear her saying some of the things, I'm just cracking up because I'm like, 'Nobody is supposed to know that except us.'"
Beyoncé is well aware that she's giving fans a glimpse at a side of her they've not seen before, but she's okay with that.
"We really just tried to trust our instincts, embrace the moment and keep it fun," she said about working on the album which was "much freer" than her previous music.
Beyoncé's attitude toward sex may ring of feminism with her talk of sexual empowerment, but she said she's just telling her truth.
"I really set out to make the most personal, honest and best album I could make. I needed to free myself from the pressures and expectations of what I thought I should say or be and just speak from the heart," she said.
