With Saddam finally in custody, it's not just the politics over the war in Iraq that has experienced a seismic shift; the question of "where's Osama?" has gone from possible campaign bumper sticker to a non-entity.
Not necessarily in the way you might think, though.
Saddam's capture left the Democratic pretenders to the throne speechless, and President Bush was given fawning coverage by every network, from CNN to CBS. Many pundits and even newscasters suggested that arresting Saddam vindicated Bush's decision to liberate Iraq.
And with the way the news media operates, Democratic frontrunner Howard Dean is now being barraged with questions challenging his opposition to the war. But if Dean thinks things look bleak now, he should wait until he realizes that he has been robbed of what could have been a potent long-term weapon in both the primary and general election campaigns.
If Saddam does face a public trial next year—as Bush called for on Monday—the political news for the President could get even better. Putting on public display the gory details of Saddam's tyrannical reign—from torture chambers to rape rooms—will reassure anyone having doubts or second thoughts about the wisdom of the war that Bush made the only appropriate choice.
So what does any of this have to do with Osama bin Laden, politically speaking?
Before the war in Iraq took the media spotlight off of the other aspects of the war on terror, Democrats leery of criticizing Bush head-on were more than willing to remind folks that bin Laden still roamed free. With the left now much more emboldened—not to mention venomous—Democrats would no doubt hammer away at the Osama-at-large issue.
And with bin Laden releasing new tapes every few months on al-Jazeera, such attacks could resonate. Just as Americans probably now feel a much greater sense of success in Iraq seeing a disoriented Saddam in his old-man beard, the war on terror will feel like an uphill climb as long as the one face we have for the enemy is on a wanted poster instead of behind bars or looking up from a casket.
But the story behind Saddam's capture teaches us an important lesson.
Coalition forces have spent the past eight months opening every barn door and turning over every stone. Not throughout the entire country, mind you, but in one relatively small city, Tikrit. Eight months, one city. And for the last nine days of the relentless manhunt, the search in Tikrit and the nearby Ad Dawr area was narrowed to a width of a mile and a half.

Configuring Amazon S3 cloud server port
Created: 21 Feb 2013 | 1 comment
We have an test Amazon S3 compatible environment what doesn't run on standard port 80 or 443. Using wizard, under advanced configuration, I can change the storage server endpoint hostname, but no option to change port number. Is there a command line option to add cloud storage server configuration where I can specify custom endpoint hostname/ip and port number? Any pointer will be highly appreciated.

I could not find out any reference about port usage. Have you tried using PROXY_IP and PROXY_PORT to direct access to your S3 compatible service? Or place proxy server in your environment tgat direct session to S3 compatible service access point.

Brazil official: Blackout caused by bad weather
Lobao also said the hydro plant at the dam itself was working, but there were problems with the power lines that carry electricity across Brazil. Brazil uses almost all the energy produced by the dam, and Paraguay consumes the rest. About 80 percent of Brazil's energy comes from hydroelectric power.
In Paraguay, the national energy agency blamed the blackout on a short-circuit at an electrical station near Sao Paulo, saying that failure shut down the entire power grid supplied by Itaipu. All of Paraguay went dark for about 20 minutes, ABC Color newspaper reported.
It is at least the fourth time since 1985 that Brazil has suffered a massive power outage involving transmission lines from Itaipu.
The worst of those, in 1999, occurred after lightning struck a power substation in Sao Paulo state, plunging 97 million Brazilians into darkness for up to five hours.
The blackouts came two days after CBS's "60 Minutes" news program reported that several past Brazilian power outages were caused by computer hackers. Brazilian officials had played down the report before the latest outages, and Lobao did not mention it.
The Itaipu dam is the world's second biggest hydroelectric producer, supplying 20 percent of Brazil's electricity. China's Three Gorges dam is the largest.
Associated Press writers Tales Azzoni in Sao Paulo and Marco Sibaja in Brasilia contributed to this report.

Manchester United winger Nani has been ruled out of the World Cup.
Portugal suffered a major injury blow today after it was announced winger Nani would play no part in the World Cup after damaging his collarbone.
The Manchester United star is thought to have suffered the injury in training on Friday and will be replaced in the squad by Benfica midfielder Ruben Amorim.
Nani's absence will disrupt the plans of Portugal boss Carlos Queiroz, who was counting on the 23-year-old following an impressive season at Old Trafford.
A statement on the Portuguese Football Federation's official website read: "Following the injury to the left clavicle suffered by Nani, a daily assessment of the damage and the completion of medical tests, we have concluded he is unable to be competitive.
"The medical file will now be presented to the medical department of Manchester United.
"In light of the report, the Portuguese Football Federation, taking into account the FIFA regulations for the 2010 World Cup, will call-up Ruben Amorim as a replacement."

Wong's shining moment with Irvine PONY came in 2012 when he led his 13-year-old squad to the PONY World Series title. The team defeated a team from Florida, 17-6, at Amerige Park in Fullerton to capture the first World Series title for Pony in the age 13 division.
"The kids have a lot of heart and it's unbelievable," Wong said after the game. "It will probably hit me three days later that we won the World Series.
"It's historical, I don't know if I'm going to be able to sleep tonight. Coach Kevin (Conlin) and coach (Sean) Collins were a big help and we worked together."
Conlin, an assistant coach at University High, praised Wong's contributions.
"You could not find a better person to work with young people than Wally," Conlin said Tuesday. "He stood for all that is good in youth sports. His influence on our community will continue to live on."
Northwood baseball coach Rob Stuart, who coached Wong's four sons, Chris, Ty, Matt and Ryan, also recalled some great times with Wong.
"I've known Wally and his family since Northwood High School opened," Stuart said. "I was able to teach and coach his kids and get to know him well, never sharing a dull moment with him. Wally was one of a kind, he always had a smile, and genuine laugh. I'm sure there was a lot more to him than what I knew, but it was obvious that he loved life, family, baseball and umpiring.
"He's a great man who gave a lot to the community, the schools and Irvine youth baseball."
Wong's daughter, Jordan, played softball at Northwood.
Wally Wong was born in Bakersfield on Feb. 3, 1958. He was raised in Bakersfield and competed in wrestling and football in high school. He eventually went to UC Irvine, where he earned a bachelor of science degree. In college, Wong played intramural baseball and softball.
Wong worked for Vons and Ohio National Financial Services.
He is also survived by his mother, Susan, brothers Wyatt, Wesley and Wilbur and a sister, Melody.

cool environments. love the last one.
January 23rd, 2008 #423
very nice atmosphere in the wooded piece a few posts back .
perhaps you should consider where the sun is more in these environment pieces. there seems to be a lot of blowing out in random spots in the clouds. the places that are blown out should be indicative of the lightsource. plus shadows =)

DANKA: Danke! (you must get that all the time on here...)

I'm still learning what's what with environments and hopefully will become less reliant on cheap tricks as I go. Thanks for the focused crit - it's much appreciated.

Howdy peeps!
Call0ps: Thanks for looking in here. I'll keep trying with the enviros...
Here's some stuff from the last week.
This was supposed to be done for IDW but I didn't get it done in time. I was really eager to try a 3d overpaint after watching Coro's gun DVD. It took a while to do, but I really enjoyed it. It reminded me of all the days I spent playing with Lego as a boy...
Here's the thumbs:
I got the Blade Runner Final Cut DVD a few weeks ago and have been digging my way through all the extras. The featurette on Jordan Cronenweth (Cinematographer) was particularly cool. Here are a few studies I did. I'm just trying to get a handle on the palettes and mood. I swear every shot in that film is a work of art.
Some doodles:
A dirty little environment:
More soon.
Ta, Nick.

whoa man, great to stop here again after some time.Your enviroments have progressed tons, love the atmosphere and all the details that make em look really believable
the harvester have a very clean professional look, very nice work.The figures as sketches are cool too, as usual looks like your ard work is paying off, much respect
February 19th, 2008 #428
Shame on you for not finishing that harvester in time! The final looks really cool, top notch Any chance you saved the progress for a tutorial? Hope to see you in future rounds of IDW if not, so I can keep bothering you with that question
The Blade Runner stuff is nice too, I totally agree: I was watching with eyes wide open through the whole movie

was there much difference in the blade runner final cut too the directors cut?
I wanna get it

TheGnoll: Thanks, man! I'll keep plugging away... Also, your making great progress at the moment - keep at it!
yoitisi: Yeah, wished I could have finished in time. I'll definitely give the IDW another go soon, though. Tech stuff is great fun. As for a tutorial, I'm not sure how much insight I could give. Really, I just applied the techniques from Coro's gun tutorial to the vehicle so I'd feel a bit of a charlatan if I did a proper tut myself (plus I'm lazy). I've attached a gif of the layers in photoshop. I could write some words to go with it if the steps aren't clear. Thanks for organising a great activity.
cakeypigdog: Cheers, Jake! I hope you get some snow on your trip. Toodles!
MonkeYoakum: Hey! Cheers for looking in!
tmyohlaing: Thanks a bunch!
AlexC: Yeah, I think I'm enjoying myself. In between the constant feelings of self-doubt and disappointment I think I occasionally and briefly achieve an emotion which could be called contentment. . There's not a great deal of difference between director's cut and final. The real treat is in all the extras and deleted footage. Hours and hours of nerdy little goodies. You should check it out.
Skeiff: Right back at ya, fella!
myalias: I think maybe I should do a bit more of the tech stuff, but I think I need to be in a certain mood to do it. Ta!
kidult: Taverymuch!
newman: Cheers, Ben. Hope you are doing well. Surely you're about due a visit to Nottingham?
Here's a gif of the harvester:
More soon.
Cheers, Nick.

February 21st, 2008 #439
when puting a texture to somthing, do you do is in grey scale then add color? or some other way. i still love that harvester so much, thnks for the gif
February 21st, 2008 #440
Very interesting place to be here.
March 2nd, 2008 #441
Skeiff: Thanks again, man. I used Maya for the modelling but any 3d app will do to be honest. It's mainly simple polygons with a couple of nurbs for springs and tubes. The only other important capability for the application is that you can do simple renders and ambient occlusion (the second rendered layer).
MonkeYoakum: I think in this instance (and most of the time) I'll use either a greyscale or mostly desaturated layer as an overlay. I was just trying to break up the cleanliness of the render a bit. Glad you like!
Chupacabra: Hey, thanks for looking in! You've got a really diverse range of great work in your SB. Cheers!
Right, been a bit slack this past week or so. No excuses - I'm addicted to The Wire... I've started on another heavily 3d vehicle concept but it might take a while to finish it off.
Here's a couple more simple Blade Runner studies. Time to put some stuff into practice, I guess:
Some thumbnails for a traffic cop who will pilot the next vehicle I'm making:

FInding things to do while you're waiting - that's the hardest time about being deployed oversees, as most of the stuff you do is just busy work so that you don't go completely insane from WAITING for something to happen.
All that said - I am not a big fan of comparing real combat to this *pixel fightin* as that's what games really are - we're just moving pixels on screen. I've lost friends in combat so I don't really want to go there.

I hate that there are only 7 abilities and i hate the f***ing global cooldown system that seems to be the trend in recent MMOs, between those two factors - tons of spam.
that being said, i think the spam lessens in later decks. For example, from what i'm planning to run, my actives will be:
1pt ST builder
1pt AE builder that sometimes builds 2pts
weap 1 consumer
weap 2 consumer
Ability or additional consumer
Do depending on how many resources i've built, i will not be spamming my build 5 times in a row and even when i do need to do 5 hits of builder, i'll probably be working in my other abilities in between. Plus if you have a double builder, it should be more efficient to hit a consumer after 2 builds.
I mean, this is all very theoretical, but that's the plan so far.

That said which is very much off topic, I do understand what you are trying to say but I don't agree 100% afterall it is a game meant to be enjoyed my the masses not a select few. Most games you do the same, I played a Rogue in wow and for years it was SS times envis keep SnD up not a hard rotation. Same with Rift spam a few abilities and you are golden, here I found it to be a bit refreshing and there are passives that do grant extra builder points so there is a bit more though process,not much but a little more for me.

I think the combat would be enjoyable if you could equip multiple "decks" at the same time and be able to swap through them on the fly. You can obtain a large variety of skills, but when you finally select what you want, it is somewhat limited (active/passive). That's the feeling I had anyways...

You are going to get a single target builder, you are going to get a single target spender for one weapon, you are going to get some AoE, either builder or spender. You are going to get a secondary weapon spender, which may be the AoE.
So you have 3-4 free slots. You are going to get some type of CC likely a stun. You are also going to get a gap closer if melee or a snare if ranged. All on long cooldown > 30 seconds.
You have one or zero more abilities and I always get a 100 damage heal, it may take 40 casts to heal up but since AI is bad you can kite around spamming it on many mobs.
After all of that most builds play the same. I can kill 99% of content, with two buttons, most of the quests are go kill 10 mobs so I face roll those tiers with two buttons.
After that, melee weapons are very boring compared to say world of warcraft, ranged weapons are a bit better. However, combat AI and gameplay feels like a 13 year old game, everquest. The mobs clump up and a the ranged run off and after that it is based on your stats more than anything else, while having the little animation of the NPCs. I can't tell what the MoBs are doing half the time and only need to move when there is a white marker on the ground.
For years we joked about class balance, to make every class balanced they would need to be the same and this is as close as you can get to that. Swapping one synergy to the next, one weapon to the next, one build to the next my killing power is + or - 15% at max. I noticed this when swaped builds today and didn't pick up any passives.

Point taken - and that is a good one. I can see how you could look at TSW as sort of a "I just want to turn my brain off and shoot some stuff" game - I guess it does that very well. It's engaging just enough to keep you alrert and engaged but it doesn't go anywhere too involved as far as combat is concerned.
I am a big fan of Rift, well to be more precise I am big fan of Trion as they know how to pump out content and constantly change the game to keep it fresh. But yeah, the combat system was straight forward and macroable (on purpose - gotta give it to Trion again!) - they have a good understanding of how to make it beneficial for the player.
More developers could learn from them....

This was one of those "what if...." questions that I discussed with my friends the other day.
Let's face it - the skill wheel is one of the most intrguing aspects of TSW - what if all of these different combinations lead to pretty much the same result?
This is the question that came up - and it's interesting that you are bringing up the same point. If that is the case end game - then the whole 500 skills and all of those endless combinations - it just ends up being a bunch of the same thing, which would be really sad.

You can, you save your builds and equipment and can change anytime you want with the click of a button. I don't know of any other game that allows so many builds available with the lcik of a button.
i.e. I have a Hammer/Swords build saved for melee, I have a pistols/shottie build for ranged dps and snares, I have a blood pistols for healing soo many options

granted you are right, I still wouldnt mind to have a bit more skill defining feel to the weapons and builds we pick.

Oh and single targets hit at least 30-50% harder than aoes. Appropriating more space to another single target builder is just taking away another slot for any fun tools you might want to have.
Spec'ing properly is a gateway drug.

Point taken but if compare a 2 or 3 point spender to a 5 point the two point will do less, like 2/5ths or 3/5ths. The ones I see do even less but give some bonus like a synergy, adds a dot that does 30 damage (lol) but u can get more damage later by hiting a target with a dot from another skill. I am using DPS builds as a comparison because all weapons have them and tanking is almost the same idea, healing may not be as healers seem to be having issues.
Yeah if you must have the 100% best DPS build, you will take a special starter which gives 2 resources if you have none, then a special builder that gives one resource and modifies an effect based from a passive, then use that debuff to use a special spender, then start over but this timeyou build to 5 and use a finisher that gets boosted by your debuffs. However, after spending time to plan many of those builds, the good old 1,2 for single target or 1,3 for multi target builds kill as fast and then I can pick up CC, Stun, Self heal.
Also, the hardest instance modes require a gimick, a purge or remove debuff will be the gimmick most of the time so for the combat you need more than two or 3 skills, you only have 6.
not really.

Granted picking dps as excample planning the best synergy and order to use your skills will net better results but right now, atleast for the ..leveling/solo play stuff, mobs die too fast and too easy to really notice, then again thats kinna a standard trade in mmo's in general.
I actually do have the feeling there will be some tweaks in the future to give a larger accent on this, lets face it people like to have the feel their smarter planning on picking skills and traits makes a difference. This actually would be a great thing, since it gives people the feeling it rewards them for being smarter then the other guy and will actually end up contributing to giving a unique and defining feel to picking a weapon.
Im sure Im not alone on this but I want to actually have the feeling there is a difference betwine using claws or swords or what ever. Right now it really does feel its mostly in the animations. I do appologise for not being able to bring it to words any better.
If you hit 1 button to build and another button to consume, even spread out to 2 weapon classes, youre gonna get kicked from nightmare modes for having pathetic dps and steamrolled in pvp.

All the technicals aside, the pvp itself is a breath of fresh air, the large open, multi tierd environment to just throw down was awesome.
I'm burnt on the rotating insert number of group size, pvp games, I like the war feel to it in TSW. I felt like I was back in Shadowbane, even more so when you look at all the different build potential.
I'm really liking TSW so far.

Breath of fresh air to walk into this place after a road trip. Lots of healthy fresh food choices; decent price for the good quality.
Yum, yum, yum! After a long day of apartment hunting in Isla Vista, we couldn't have been any more excited to find a healthy, vegetarian friendly, easy, place for lunch. We must have come at the right time because there was no line. The guy at the register was very friendly and helpful and even suggested the mango cookie that...
The title actually gives most of it away; in a college town consisting of almost exclusively chain fast food places, this is one of the few places to eat that seem to serve food that is not entirely soaked in fat, sauce and/or fried. That said its probably one of the best places to eat in Isla Vista.
I got a Santa Cruz steak bowl with steak, cheddar, rice, brown beans, avocado, jalapenos, tomato salsa and garlic bread. It was ok for the price but not something special. The atmosphere in the restaurant was more like a cafeteria.
Went to Silvergreens for lunch...very nice selection of healthy choices....the ahi tuna salad was very good (get your dressing on the side) as were the drinks....food is very fresh and price is reasonable....
Turkey feta and piña granite salad was really good. Great mix of greens, turkey pieces also dried cranberry and pumpkin seeds. Tuscan chicken soup was very flavorful too. Good prices healthy food. Casual atmosphere.
I felt that this place was average, a bit overpriced for a college student though. I ordered a chicken sandwich, which was kind of cold and the chicken was dry. I did however, really enjoy the mango oatmeal cookie, which was not too sweet and tasted delicious. The service was alright, i received my food pretty fast.
Fresh food that is always good. I usually eat off the breakfast menu and the burgers are good too. Price is affordable.
Great, fresh food at a good price. Love that they have the nutritional info on the receipt.
Love to stop here and eat for a quick pick me up while shopping...easy, cheap, healthy and won't bloat you up as you try on clothes. Tasty food; salads, sandwiches, soups, great lemonade...patio or inside....friendly staff.

Prof Receives Regional Teaching Award
JUNE 29, 2007--University of Wisconsin-River Falls Professor Bonnie Walters, of the animal and food science department, received the 2007 North American Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture (NACTA) Regional Outstanding Teacher Award for the Central Region.
Walters, of Glenwood City, received the award at the 2007 NACTA Conference held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign June 20-22.
"This award is a testament to Bonnie's interest, commitment and abilities as a teacher," said Dale Gallenberg, dean of the UWRF College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences. "She models the principle of 'students first' and strives to give them challenging and meaningful experiences--both inside and outside the classroom. She recognizes the importance of both the academic and professional development of students at UWRF."
To qualify for the award, a NACTA member must have previously received the NACTA Teacher Fellow Award and hold a full-time appointment involving at least 25 percent teaching.
Walters was nominated by William Anderson, a professor in the UWRF plant and earth science department, and her nomination was reviewed by a committee of NACTA members. She received the award from 2006-07 NACTA President Allen Zimmerman (above), who is a professor of engineering technology and technical physics at The Ohio State University Agricultural Technical Institute in Wooster.
Selection criteria include the instructor's teaching philosophy; the nominee's promotion and enhancement of teaching at the university, state, regional and/or national level; evaluations by current students, alumni, administrative officers, and peers; factors such as availability to students, teaching innovations, and departmental/institutional activity, as well as a self-evaluation.
At the conference, Walters gave a presentation, "Assessment of a General Education Food Science Course," and her husband, Tim Buttles, an associate professor in the agricultural education department at UWRF, presented a poster, "Instant Feedback - Team Based Assessment."
In addition, NACTA organizers announced at the conference that the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences will be the host site of the 2012 NACTA Conference.
NACTA provides postsecondary teachers of agriculture a forum for issues relating to the professional advancement of agricultural instruction and seeks to improve postsecondary teaching of agriculture through examination and discussion of courses and curricula, teaching and testing techniques, facilities and materials. NACTA encourages, promotes, and rewards instructional excellence in agriculture and the research supporting this instruction. For additional information on NACTA see http://www.nactateachers.org/.

Perfectly located just a short walk from the picturesque village of Preesall, close to Knott End, Willowgrove Leisure Park and Fishery boasts the best of both worlds - an idyllic rural setting with all the bright lights and iconic attractions of Blackpool just 11 miles away.Preesall hosts excellent pubs, restaurants and local shops, while Blackpool, historic Lancaster, the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and Fylde Coast are all within easy reach.
This park has:
Real reviews, from customers like you.
I had taken my partner and 4 children ages 9,8,5 and 2 I was shocked when I entered our knotty caravan the pictures on the website did not depict was in front of my eyes everything was an off brownish grey colour from the sofa to the carpet and sheets and bedding and the pull out bed in the front room I woud,nt of put a dog in it of which I think somebody had as I found numerous thick white dog hairs over our 3 day stay all over the caravan we dont have pets of our own and we asked for accom with no pets I was ready to come home then our view was a barbed wire fence looking out onto a cornfield the scenic lake looked like a building site it was like staying in a bog standard chalet at butlins im really disappointed and annoyed the cleanest thing was the shower and the toilet facilities,so no I wont be going there again.
Site was lovely and clean and caravan was spotless
No play park for children we felt we had to go out for the day not to disturb the park residence. There was some small works were happening around the nice large pond in the centre of park .
nice surroundings local shops 2 mins down the road
30 mins away from blackpool/fleetwood
nice motorbike rally on Wednesday evenings at the waterfront if interested.
nice peaceful holiday as we wanted. staff couldn't be more helpful. minor fault with caravan plumbing corrected very quickly. glad to return to this camp one day.
Nice quiet location.
Lovely clean property, quiet location with handy local shops.
Gatekeeper friendly although no further interactions with staff when handing back keys, customer service could have been friendlier to confirm all went well with stay and if there were any concerns.
overall stayed here to take children on a short breaks to see sites in Blackpool. slight drive to get there although prefer it was safe, clean environment.
would be great to have welcome booklet explaining the area. Also be great if they had internet provider onsite :)
Very quite location. Would highly recommend to anybody.
Fantastic caravan, very clean and comfortable. My husband had just got over a lengthy illness and we decided we needed a break, so glad we chose to take a break at Willowgrove Park.
Very quiet, but very nice and superbly located for amenities in the adjacent village, such as pubs, take-away meals and shops.
The park was laid out well though I did feel the caravans were a bit close together so we worried about noise levels having young children, but everyone was really friendly.
nice quiet site
Nice and clean two year old caravan
Caravan was lovely and warm and modern. And we could take our dog so that was great.
Accommodation was very comfortable and clean but we had a problem with the boiler so the heating wasn't always working , the staff were incredibly helpful in resolving it very quickly .
Enjoyed our stay there

I find this my HG, but it does have its flaws. The color's amazing, it lasts ALL day, keeps my curl for forever, and it makes my lashes look absolutely FLAWLESS...before the hours start ticking. After a few hours, it started to clump together and it gives a dry, crispy feeling (I do one quick swipe for application and barely do any layers). It makes my lashes brittle, but that's what happens when you get waterproof. It's extremely hard to take off, but at least it's reassuring that it lasts all day. The brush is quite large and since my eyelid space is pretty small, it gets everywhere if I don't use a card. It's also hard to get the inner, outer or bottom lashes. Either way, I'd recommend this product if you have a good makeup remover (extra virgin olive oil is good and inexpensive!), strong lashes (or a good lash serum), or just need a mascara you can count on.

Hey guys! :D So I got this mascara recently because of all the Original Lashblast raves for about $7(ish if I'm not mistaken) & honestly there are the ups and downs to this product...
- Not the blackest black mascara but it is pretty black (that is sort of how I like it)
- Honestly it actually defines all of my asian lashes ( which i like)
- Doesn't clump for the first THOROUGH layer
- Keeps my lashes curl
- Easy to separate my lashes using a spooly and makes my lashes flutered and natural
- Dries off pretty fast
- Quite easy to remove (way easier than Maybelline's Falsies)
- Actually is waterproof! (not like some waterproof mascara that isn't actually waterproof)
- Doesn't flake off easily
- The brush really grabs on to each lashes
- Start to clump after 2 to 3 layers
- Feels really dry and irritating after 6+ hours of use
- Since the brush is really huge, it does get a bit hard to reach the ends of my lashes without getting the mascara on to my lid
So honestly this product isn't that bad, I will repurchase this just because the brush is really good and the formula IS ACTUALLY WATERPROOF (and also removes quite easily). And although it's not really a 'volumizing' mascara for me, but it is more to a lengthening mascara and I really like the huge and natural difference it gives to my lashes :D
Read more thorough product reviews on my blog :)

One of my first few mascaras. I am mixed about this mascara. This mascara gives a lot of volume, and does not smudge or come off in water. Which is what I love about it. Unfortunately though, it is almost impossible to take off. If you have no makeup removal, don't buy this. Your mascara will stay on for days on end. If you try to take it off with your fingers or whatever, many lashes will fall off yours eyes.
Generally though, even with makeup removers this mascara is still very difficult to remove. Usually I lose at least three or two eyelashes when I remove this mascara. Regardless of this though, it is something I always turn to when I go swimming or on a long hot day out.
I am very mixed. If you have great makeup removers, go for it. But I wouldn't suggest wearing this daily, or your lashes will go from short to gone!

I picked this up because my local drugstore didn't have my HG mascara In stock (maybelline WP full n soft mascara). I do not care for this mascara. I think I would've been better off grabbing another maybelline mascara. This product holds a curl well but it does nothing to volumize lashes. It separates and maybe lengthens a little but I find that layering makes my lashes look spidery. Plus another con is that this mascara is sooooo difficult to remove. Would not repurchase.

This mascara holds the curl really well and it does volume my lashes. However, it doesn't lengthen them and it's sooo difficult to remove. Don't buy this if you have sensitive eyelids.

I actually wanted to try the regular non-waterproof version but I got this one :( We don't have Cover girl here in the Netherlands so I had to ask a friend to buy it for me in the US. Male friend, so of course he got the wrong one :) Anyway, it doesn't work for me. My lashes are short and I am looking for length and volume but this mascara doesn't give me any of that. Even with my Dior lash primer which I use to give my pitiful lashes some boost. I get spiky short though defined lashes. And of course I had to invest into a remover that can remove it, since I normally don't use waterproof mascaras. Really sad that it didn't work for me :(

Flakes off after 1 hour. At least it did for me. Found my mascara under my eyes in no time. Not a good look and never buying again. Total waste of money.

I have medium length lashes that are stick straight. This mascara did not impress. It did not length my lashes nor make them look fuller. And it did not hold my curl. And it clumped : ( I get better results with natural mascaras like Full n Soft.

A decent waterproof mascara and my current go to. It does have it's flaws though. The mascara does smudge a little (not too horribly) on my lower lash line, but it's nothing that a cotton swab can't fix. Holding my curl is great and volume is also great. Length isn't too bad, but I could definitely use more of that for my straight Asian eyelashes.

This is a holy grail product for me. I have long eyelashes but they point downwards. I have never had any luck with a mascara before this one, and I've tried a lot of the expensive ones. I heat up my eyelash curler with a hairdryer before curling, then I apply the mascara. It holds the curls perfectly and doesn't flake off during the day. I also like the orange packaging, makes it easy to find among a sea of black makeup products.
I do wish there were bristles on the tip, not sure why they made it flat.

Botox Competitor Cleared to Re-Enter the Market
On January 9, 2013 the 10-month court injunction on Botox competitor Xeomin expired. Simon Ourian, M.D. of Epione Beverly Hills says that competition is good for the industry and consumers alike.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 20, 2013
"I don´t see how this can be anything but a good thing for consumers," opines Dr. Ourian, Medical Director of Epione Beverly Hills. "First there was Botox, then Dysport and now Xeomin, each with certain distinct attributes. This can only enable me to do a better job of serving the needs of my patients."
The injunction, issued by a U.S. District Judge on March 9, 2012, prevented Merz USA from doing a full commercial launch of Xeomin, the wrinkle-busting drug it developed to compete against market leader Allergan´s Botox. The judge concluded that several salespeople hired away from Allergan by Merz took confidential client information and market research when they left. (go to: goo.gl/IvkbK)
"Regardless of which treatment option you choose, consumers need to be smart and safe about the doctor they choose," says Dr. Ourian. "That why I recently created a six-point Botox checklist."
- It´s important to know who is going to do the actual treatment. Will it be a physician or an RN. Do your research and ask friends and family for referrals.
- In California only a physician can conduct the examination and consultation required before a prescription for Botox, Dysport or Xeomin is issued.
- These are medical treatments and should only be done in a medical office setting.
- Make certain you understand the post-treatment instructions.
- Confirm that whatever product you choose to be injected with (Botox, Dysport or Xeomin) is the authentic product manufactured by Allergan, Medicis or Merz respectively. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration recently warned 350 medical practices about their importation of unapproved Botox from a Canadian pharmacy. (go to: goo.gl/WC3fX)
- Don´t be afraid to ask questions.

Rams' offensive line off to strong start
The St. Louis Rams hit quite a few high notes in their first season-opening victory since 2006. The most significant might have been keeping quarterback Sam Bradford on his feet.
The offensive line anchored by free agent pickup Jake Long at left tackle didn't allow a sack in Sunday's 27-24 comeback victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Bradford had protection while rallying the Rams from 11 points down in the fourth quarter.
"I can't say enough about those guys up front," Bradford said. "They played outstanding, and I think it shows that we've taken leaps and bounds from where we were last year.
"They threw some looks at us, especially on third down, that we hadn't seen in the preseason and those guys didn't flinch at all."
Bradford hasn't been sacked in three straight games, the first time the Rams have done that since 1973. when John Hadl was sacked just 17 times all season behind a line that featured Ken Iman and Tom Mack for a 12-2 team that won the NFC West.
Coach Jeff Fisher said Bradford was hit only six times, none of them hard hits. He had time to get the ball to Jared Cook, who set a franchise record for yards by a tight end in his Rams debut with 141 yards on seven catches with two touchdowns.
The previous record, 126 yards by Pete Holohan, was set in 1988.
Bradford was cool and calm during the deciding drive that set up Greg Zuerlein's tie-breaking 48-yard field goal with 40 seconds to go.
"Nothing had to be said," Long said. "We knew it was on the line. We knew we had been shooting ourselves in the foot, we knew we could drive it.
"It's great to see we can pull it out like this."
Tackle Rodger Saffold missed time in the second quarter having a knee injury checked, but wasn't gone long. And an injury timeout was enough for Long to shake off a minor injury without missing a snap.
Saffold, who was at left tackle then, and center Scott Wells started at the end of last year and guard Chris Williams rotated with Shelley Smith when the Rams didn't allow a sack on the road against Tampa Bay and Seattle.
"Not that there's much carry-over from last year, but at least we're off to the right start," Fisher said.
Among the items on the to-do list for Week 2 at Atlanta, they'll try to reduce penalties, improve on a 4-for-11 showing on third down conversions and, most of all, capitalize on breaks.
After Marquise Johnson returned an interception to the 4, the Rams went backward and settled for a field goal. A 38-yard interference penalty put the Rams at the Arizona 26 and they gained 8 yards - five on an encroachment penalty - before settling for another field goal.
Cornerback Cortland Finnegan, one of the team leaders, apologized after a rocky opener. He was whistled for two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and also got beat on a 44-yard catch by Michael Floyd to the 4 that led to the Cardinals' first touchdown.
"I just can't do that," Finnegan said. "I've got them all out of my system. We've got 15 more, you won't get another one out of me."
Running back Isaiah Pead returns for Week 2 after a one-game suspension. Fisher was circumspect about his plans for the 2012 second-rounder beaten out by Daryl Richardson for the backup job last year and the starting job this summer.
"He's back in the building and he'll be on the practice field," Fisher said.
