He Didn't Start The Fire
Billy Joel
Madison Square Garden
February 18th
This was only the 2nd time I've seen BJ. The first was on his River of Dreams tour at the Capital Centre in 1993 (one of these two shows)
He played 'We Didn't Start The Fire' then
He didn't last night
I'd consider that single omission a waste of an entire evening
BUT it wasn't, cause even if Billy Joel looks like an old mole, he's still got it!! And you can tell he's really enjoying his monthly MSG residency. He even is semi-sorta letting his fans dictate some his set – asking them to choose between two songs to play, by cheering their choice!
AND he loves 'Tush'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO DOESN'T???????????????

05 May 2010 15:45 [Source: ICIS news]
TORONTO (ICIS news)--Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity in the chemical industry was much stronger in the first quarter, driven by five large deals worth $17.9bn (€13.8bn) in total, compared with the 2009 first quarter, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) said on Wednesday.
Overall, there were 33 more deals in the 2010 first quarter, reflecting a 15% increase from the year-earlier period, PwC said.
"Large-deal activity is off to a strong start in first quarter of 2010, as five deals with a value greater than $1bn were announced, substantially driving total deal value," the US accounting and advisory firm said in a statement.
These five deals accounted for $17.9bn in deal value, representing 80% of total activity in the first quarter of 2010, and already surpassed total large-deal activity for all of 2009.
When looking at deals with a disclosed value greater than or equal to $50m, first-quarter activity was up by 11 deals or 110% over the same period last year.
With financial markets and the global economy beginning to recover, the increase in chemical industry M&A was consistent with expectations, PwC said.
"Based on our current view of the market and the transactions in progress, we are optimistic that the level of M&A activity will remain strong in 2010," said Saverio Fato, global chemicals leader for PricewaterhouseCoopers.
"Proactive companies in the chemicals sector that are willing to invest up-front time preparing for deals so that they can move quickly as opportunities become available will be able to effectively utilise M&A as a growth tool to reposition themselves," he added.
Meanwhile, financial investors were less active, PwC said. Only 11% of the quarter's deals included a financial investor.
However, as the economy and debt markets continued to recover, financial investor deal activity in the chemical sector could rise again, PwC said.
PwC added it had already noted some financial investors coming off of the sidelines and actively participating in the bidding process for several of the recent deals.

"Lies and Consequences."
A strong organized labor movement helps everyone in the middle and working classes — even those who do not belong to unions!
Union members are greedy slackers who hurt the economy with extravagant demands, stealing money from non-union members, sending U.S. jobs overseas.
Who promotes such absurd lies?
Major corporations for one. They're not really "persons," of course (that's a Samuel Alito wet dream); but, if they were persons, they would be dangerous psychopaths: having no conscience, no empathy, no sense of guilt. Also the wealthiest 10%. They already have more money than they could ever spend, regardless of how much they invest in bribing politicians and gulling mouth-breathing Teabaggers. [Yeah, I know. A ridiculous mixed metaphor. You can't breathe through your mouth and teabag at the same time.] And, of course, earnestly ill-informed Republicans, rattling around in the tiny imaginary snow globe which right wing media, deluded clerics, and cynical right wing "opinion makers" have hermetically sealed them.
Check this little graph. The weaker organized labor, the more easily the wealthiest 10% can steal money from the pockets of the workers and the (shrinking) middle class and stuff it down into their own insatiable gullets.

Who would benefit from GOP tax plans, and who would suffer?
OK. I confess. It was a trick question.
Immediately, it would seem the wealthy were benefiting, the least wealthy 90+% suffering. But realization is growing that that kind of inequality is destructive, not just to American democracy, but to America's economy as well. In short, you're not going to sell goods or services if no one can afford to buy.
Think about it. Why are so many small businesses forced to shut their doors and close for good soon after Walmart plops one of its "big boxes" in town? It isn't because of guv'mint regulations, and it isn't because of guv'mint taxes. It's because people abandon local shops and take their custom to the big box.
No money? No shopping. No shopping? No customers. No customers? No business.
On a less frustrating, but still not-funny note of irony…
How can you tell just from looking whether a person would be likely to get a tax reduction under Republican plans? Lots of ways, of course. One of them is to see which items a person buys when shopping. Here's an example from an ad for Fahrney's stationery chain I got in this morning's email.
For which shoppers will Republicans reduce taxes? For which raise them? Hint: How much are these shoppers willing and able to spend on a fountain pen plus ink to fill it?

Trivia question about a far from trivial issue.
What do these 4 countries have in common?
Lesotho – Papua New Guinea – Swaziland – U.S.A.
So we've made it to the Final Four in the Tournament of Predatory Capitalist Exploitation and Shame! "Hoo-Ray for the Oooo-Ess-A"!!
How can this be?
- Because in their own families congressmen never have to experience the damage this can cause?
- Because in their campaigns they get most of their contributions from people who got fabulously rich by exploiting the workers (and the former workers whose jobs these heartless, unpatriotic oinkers shipped overseas)?
- Because conservatives feel that good women don't need parental leave from their employers because they don't have employers but instead stay home cooking, washing clothes, and cleaning house?
- Because they feel that "real" men leave parenting to the ladies, restricting themselves to setting a proper example and inflicting corporal punishment for real or imagined missteps by their children?

This article pissed me off!
Arts Students Are Motivated More by Love of Subject Than Money or Future Careers
Saturday, 22 November 2014 13:07
By Anya Skatova, The Conversation
Science and engineering subjects are often presented as better career choices for students than the arts or humanities. Nicky Morgan, the education secretary, recently said that STEM subjects – sciences, technology, engineering and maths – unlock doors to all sorts of careers and that pupils who study maths to A Level earn 10% more over their lifetime.
∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞
Restructure arts degrees
Careers are often judged by financial success – and not without a reason. And graduates from arts and humanities degrees seem to make less money than their STEM peers. For example, a 2011 report by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, puts most arts and humanities subjects at the bottom of the pay scale.
But perhaps the reason for that is not that those careers are a bad choice. If arts and humanities degrees attract people who are not career-driven, could that explain why they do not do as well financially in their career in the future? In order to make more money, you need to strive for that – it doesn't just come by itself.
If it is the case that arts and humanities students do not do as well financially because of low career aspirations, should we discourage them from choosing arts and humanities? Probably not – these degrees are where they might do the best – because they enjoy it. Instead, universities should provide them with more career focus in their undergraduate courses that can make those students more structured in achieving their career goals.
In response to the article, I wrote this comment:
What's a "career"? To me, it was a lifetime spent doing what I truly loved. (I'm a retired university professor whose specialization lay in the humanities.) My career aspirations had nothing to do with money or power or prestige. They had everything to do with the intrinsic rewards of learning and of sharing what I had learned.
By the definition implied here that meant I had "low career aspirations." By my definition that meant I had the highest possible career aspirations. And I can assure you I had intense and unwavering "career focus." I wanted to learn and to share, not just what I had learned, but also the intrinsic joy and rewards of learning – and I worked continually to do that as well as I possibly could.
My colleagues in other disciplines taught students how to do things, including accumulating wealth. I taught students to consider deeply whether to do those things; the moral and ethical implications of how they did those things; and, in the event they were successful, how they might invest in promoting the common good.
Herman Melville's short story "Bartleby" is narrated by a lawyer who is incapable of imagining the way his ostensible subject sees the world. This article seems to have been written by a researcher who is incapable of imagining the way I and those like me see the world. Read Chaucer's description of the "Clerk of Oxford."
Source of literary allusions in that final paragraph, just for the record:
From the "Prologue" of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Lines 287-310
A CLERK from Oxford was there also,
Who'd studied philosophy, long ago.
As lean was his horse as is a rake,
And he too was not fat, that I take,
But he looked emaciated, moreover, abstemiously.
Very worn off was his overcoat; for he
Had got him yet no churchly benefice,
Nor he was worldly to accept secular office.
For he would rather have at his bed's head
Some twenty books, all bound in black or red,
Of Aristotle and his philosophy
Than rich robes, fiddle, or gay psaltery.
Yet, and for all he was philosopher in base,
He had but little gold within his suitcase;
But all that he might borrow from a friend
On books and learning he would swiftly spend,
And then he'd pray diligently for the souls
Of those who gave him resources to attend schools.
He took utmost care and heed for his study.
Not one word spoke he more than was necessary;
And that was said with due formality and dignity
And short and lively, and full of high morality.
Filled with moral virtue was his speech;
And gladly would he learn and gladly teach.
From the early part of Herman Melville's Bartleby (also known as Bartleby the Scrivener)
Imprimis: I am a man who, from his youth upwards, has been filled with a profound conviction that the easiest way of life is the best. Hence, though I belong to a profession proverbially energetic and nervous, even to turbulence, at times, yet nothing of that sort have I ever suffered to invade my peace. I am one of those unambitious lawyers who never addresses a jury, or in any way draws down public applause; but in the cool tranquillity of a snug retreat, do a snug business among rich men's bonds and mortgages and title-deeds. All who know me consider me an eminently safe man. The late John Jacob Astor, a personage little given to poetic enthusiasm, had no hesitation in pronouncing my first grand point to be prudence; my next, method. I do not speak it in vanity, but simply record the fact, that I was not unemployed in my profession by the late John Jacob Astor; a name which, I admit, I love to repeat, for it hath a rounded and orbicular sound to it, and rings like unto bullion. I will freely add, that I was not insensible to the late John Jacob Astor's good opinion.
In contrast to what the narrator says here of himself, Bartleby
- takes the hardest possible way.
- is an eminently unsafe man.
- demonstrates that "his first grand point" is imprudence…
- and his second lack of method.
- doesn't care a flip about name or fame.

'You Americans Have No Idea' – Another Open Letter, This Time From Canada & This One Hurts
Many of us Canadians are confused by the U.S. midterm elections. Consider, right now in America, corporate profits are at record highs, the country's adding 200,000 jobs per month, unemployment is below 6%, U.S. gross national product growth is the best of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. The dollar is at its strongest levels in years, the stock market is near record highs, gasoline prices are falling, there's no inflation, interest rates are the lowest in 30 years, U.S. oil imports are declining, U.S. oil production is rapidly increasing, the deficit is rapidly declining, and the wealthy are still making astonishing amounts of money.

Fox's Kimberley Guilfoyle complains that young women "just don't get it."
Fox News Thinks Young Women Are Too Busy With Tinder to "Get" Voting
—By Inae OhWed Oct. 22, 2014 3:09 PM EDTFox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, a woman, shared some advice for us feeble-minded young ladies out here: Let's not burden ourselves with voting! After all, we're far too busy swiping for a man on Tinder to cast an educated vote in the midterm elections, or any election for that matter.
"It's the same reason why young women on juries are not a good idea," Guilfoyle explained to her approving co-hosts. "They don't get it!"
"They're not in that same life experience of paying the bills, doing the mortgage, kids, community, crime, education, health care. They're like healthy and hot and running around without a care in the world," she added.
Believe it or not, I agree with Ms. Guilfoyle on one crucial point: There's at least one woman shown in this cartoon who is too ignorant; self-absorbed; complacent; lacking in empathy, sensitivity, awareness, and understanding to be trusted to vote wisely. Guess which one I'm thinking of! [Hint: She appears in more than one frame.]
If you watch the whole video clip Mother Jones references, you'll see a curious dance.
- Democrats have had a big advantage among younger unmarried women.
- No, not really. The statistics have been wrong.
- No, the statistics have been right, and they're changing now in our favor.
- Younger, unmarried women are too [supply your own pejorative adjectives] to be voting.
- Who cares, as long as they're voting for us?
BTW, the asset shown in the lowest right frame really is Guilfoyle's.

What they say vs. what we should hear…
O'Reilly went on to predict that Romney would lose the election if he lost Ohio.
"How do you think we got to that point?" host Megyn Kelly wondered.
"Because it's a changing country," O'Reilly insisted. "The demographics are changing. It's not a traditional America anymore and there are 50 percent of the voting public who want stuff, they want things. And who is going to give them things? President Obama."
"The white establishment is now the minority," he added. "And the voters — many of them — feel that this economic system is stacked against them and they want stuff. You're going to see a tremendous Hispanic vote for President Obama, overwhelming black vote for President Obama and women will probably break President Obama's way."
"People feel that they are entitled to things. And which candidate between the two is going to give them things?"

The passionate intensity of the fearful and ignorant!
By reflecting on their images and their signs, you can learn a lot about the persons protesting the way the refugee children are being treated by the U.S. government. And what you learn is hardly flattering, either to the protestors or the nation itself.
- The hard to read sign on the left says. "God save us all. Build the wall." I guess this is analogous to the famous title of Frank Loesser's song "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition." You know, pray for God's help but build your own defenses…just in case. Odd to see such tough posturing mujeres y hombres being so frightened of children! The sign on the right is a bit difficult to understand, suggesting that the guy holding it himself has difficulty understanding things. "Amnesty" is a code word, of course, a simple-minded substitute for mature understanding of incredibly complicated realities. I'm not sure whether the second line is addressed to the refugee children or to Americans who like hiring undocumented workers because they can pay them less, treat them worse, and still get done the work American citizens can't or won't accept. The "food stamps" thing makes no sense in this context. No one who gets food stamps can do so without providing evidence that he or she works (perhaps at Wal-Mart) or is actively seeking work. And no undocumented person can get food stamps regardless of work.
- What part of "illegal" do I not understand? I'm not sure. Of course if I don't understand it, then I don't know that I don't understand it. I do at least know that stopping a public school bus on a public highway is illegal—even if the local police look the other way. And I know that these children are trying lawfully to obtain asylum. The government is acting lawfully to give them a proper hearing before either accepting or deporting them … as required by the law George W. Bush signed and approved of.
- "I pledge allegiance to the flag. I am proud to show the world that Americans are cruel, fearful, bigots."
- These folks want to support the border patrol. They want to stop illegal immigration. Doesn't make them special. Almost everyone wants to stop illegal immigration. The current problem involves legal pleas for asylum, plus legal procedures and hearings.
- How are you going to pay for increased border security if you won't pay taxes? Republicans like to sneer about "tax and spend" Democrats. Meanwhile, they themselves spend even more (on illegal wars, subsidies to the already rich, etc.) while cutting taxes — for the wealthy. And then, of course, they blame Democrats for the size of the deficit.
- Enforce existing laws? We are enforcing existing laws. Your problem is that you don't really know what the law is.
- These children are not "illegals." They are following the law in seeking asylum.
- That yellow thing is the "Gadsden Flag." You know, the flag dropped on the body of the ambushed and murdered policeman in Nevada. What was that about "legal" and "illegal"?
- We'll grant you right not to be silenced. In return, you grant others the right not to be slandered, threatened, intimidated. Fair enough?
- Sheriff? Yeah. Arpaio. You want the sheriff who himself ignores the law to stop others from ignoring the law! D.H.S. is a Trojan Horse? Honestly, I don't get it. The D.H.S. was created by the George W. administration. Are you saying that George W. Bush intends to destroy America?

When a solemn John Surma, the vice chairman of Penn States board of trustees, announced the boards termination of university President Graham Spanier and head football coach Joe Paterno on Wednesday, he provided a much-needed voice of leadership to a community in dire need of direction, according to former State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley, who joined Penn States faculty earlier this year.
Over the past couple of days, the university is now sounding the right messages, and it started there, said Crowley.
Surma stepped into a communications vacuum that combined with the spread of knowledge about the details of the grand jurys investigatory findings to spark a
much wider interest in the controversy, Crowley said.
As a general rule, nobody can tell your story better than you can, Crowley said. Some of the early statements and the silence worked to the universitys disadvantage.
Penn State Faculty Senate member and professor of rural sociology Al Luloff said members of the Penn State community would have benefited from hearing more from their leaders as the crisis unfolded.
It was pretty unusual that there was no voice being heard out of the administration, either from Dr. Spanier or his staff or his news media people, who are generally pretty quick to get back to the press, he said. There was absolutely nothing, and that void was going to be filled by innuendo. Because of absence of communication from those in a position to know, I felt lots of what eventually happened could have been avoided.
Legal issues could have complicated the universitys response but shouldnt have caused complete silence, Crowley said. Spaniers statement of unconditional support for the two administrators charged with perjury exacerbated the public relations dilemma.
The statement was understandable at one level but not necessarily properly balanced, he said. A first instinct by any organization is to defend your own, and so on the one hand, saying that I trust my employees and the action they have taken, thats OK, but there was this full-throated defense of the two individuals who faced serious charges while only a glancing mention of the interests of the children who are clearly the victims here. Then that was followed by days of silence.
Crowley also pointed to the last-minute cancellation of Paternos press conference Tuesday as another badly handled decision. But he said the universitys biggest mistake could have been made almost a decade ago, when the decision was made to handle internally an alleged eyewitness account of Jerry Sandusky sexually assaulting a young boy on campus.
Some serious mistakes were made in 2002 when they decided they were not handing this over to authorities and dealing with it in public then, he said.
An insularity, which by nature surrounds most administrative bodies, could have led to mistakes in judgment, Crowley said.
The temptation always is to let this work itself out quietly, it wont get out, and yet more and more you see that information finds its way into the open, he said.
The most confusing aspect, from a public relations perspective, of the weeks events, was that Penn State officials seemed so unprepared to deal with the results of an investigation they had known to be in the works for years, and that had been public since March.
When an institution has some forewarning a story is coming down the pike, they have some time to build a game plan, and that empowers some stakeholders to take some action, Crowley said. It doesnt appear on surface the university took advantage of that (knowledge).
Luloff said it is a widely held view among the faculty that excessive authority given to the administration caused the scandal.
Penn State is a very top-down place, where power is vested in Old Main, he said. We have a very different structure than some universities, in that some universities the faculty and Faculty Senate has more power.
Questions remain not only for Spanier, Paterno and the others implicated by the grand jury report, but for the board of trustees, Luloff said.
The board empowered Dr. Spanier and coach Paterno to operate they way they operated, which was, they allowed them to create an empire of sorts, Luloff said.
Luloff also criticized the board for the timing of Wednesdays announcement that Spanier and Paterno had been fired, which he said played a role in inciting the riots that ensued.
The need to get information out at 10:30 at night, in this campus, in this climate, escapes me, he said. They could have said they would make the announcement the next morning, which wouldnt have done nearly as much to fuel the fire.
Crowley, however, agreed with the boards announcement of the firing of Spanier and Paterno immediately after its decision.
The board of (trustees) took decisive action ... to take back the initiative, he said. They said loud and clear that there is going to be accountability here, and the decision they made on Coach Paterno in particular is an enormous statement that no one is above responsibility for what has happened.
Rodney Ericksons tenure as interim president has started well, Crowley said.
Erickson has begun a conversation with the entire Penn State community he sounded a call to move forward, while praying for the children who are the victims here. So I think over the past couple of days the university is now sounding the right messages, the right notes, Crowley said. Still, I think there's a long way to go here. The damage that has been created is real and will last for some time.

US President Barack Obama said Monday that his administration is examining "a whole series of" economic and diplomatic steps to "isolate" Russia over its refusal to withdraw military forces from the Ukrainian republic of Crimea.
While acknowledging Russia's "strong" historic and commercial ties to Ukraine, Obama declared "what cannot be done is for Russia, with impunity, to put its soldiers on the ground and violate basic principles that are recognized around the world," Xinhua reported.
"And I think the strong condemnation that it's received from countries around the world indicates the degree to which Russia is on the wrong side of history on this," he told reporters at the White House prior to his meeting with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Obama said Washington is examining "a whole series of steps", both economic and diplomatic, "that will isolate Russia and will have a negative impact on Russia's economy and its status in the world".
He again suggested sending in international monitors to Ukraine, or setting up an international mediation, to address Russia's alleged concerns about treatment of Russian speakers and nationals inside the East European country.
Crimea is now under control of Russian forces following the dismissal of pro-Russian Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych Feb 22 by a parliament controlled by West-leaning opposition, who favour integration with the European Union instead of closer ties with Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin told Obama over the phone Saturday that Russia retains the right to protect its interests and Russian speakers living in Ukraine if violence spreads in eastern Ukrainian regions and Crimea, where Russia has its Black Sea Fleet based.

Mini Bio (3)
At the end of the silent era, Myrna Loy started her career as an exotic, Theda Bara-like femme fatale. Fortunately, she was rescued by the advent of the sound picture, where she was recast in the role of the witty, urbane, professional woman. She is best remembered for her role of Nora Charles opposite William Powell in six "Thin Man" movies (The Thin Man (1934)).
- IMDb Mini Biography By: Ray Hamel
Born in Helena, Mont. Myrna was educated in Los Angeles and Westlake School for Girls. She had some stage experience in stage prologues at Grauman's Theatre in Hollywood. She was discovered by Mrs. Rudolph Valentino: Natacha Rambova' and given a part in pictures. Her first film was What Price Beauty? (1925).
- IMDb Mini Biography By: Dave Curbow <email@example.com>
Myrna Williams, later to become Myrna Loy, was born on August 2, 1905 in Radersburg, Montana. Her father was the youngest person ever elected to the Montana State legislature. Later on her family moved to Helena where she spent her youth. At the age of 13, Myrna's father died of influenza and the rest of the family moved to Los Angeles. She was educated in L.A. and the Westlake School for Girls where she caught the acting bug. She started at the age of 15 when she appeared in local stage productions in order to help support her family. Some of the stage plays were held in the now famous Grauman's Theater in Hollywood. Mrs. Rudolph Valentino happened to be in the audience one night who managed to pull some strings to get Myrna some parts in the motion picture industry. Her first film was a small part in the production of What Price Beauty? (1925). Later she appeared the same year in Pretty Ladies (1925) along with Joan Crawford. She was one of the few stars that would start in the silent movies and make a successful transition into the sound era. In the silent films, Myrna would appear as an exotic femme fatale. Later in the sound era, she would become a refined, wholesome character. Unable to land a contract with MGM, she continued to appear in small, bit roles, nothing that one could really call acting. In 1926, Myrna appeared in the Warner Brothers film called Satan in Sables (1925) which, at long last, landed her a contract. Her first appearance as a contract player was The Caveman (1926) where she played a maid. Although she was typecast over and over again as a vamp, Myrna continued to stay busy with small parts. Finally, in 1927, she received star billing in Bitter Apples (1927). The excitement was short lived as she returned to the usual smaller roles afterward. Myrna would take any role that would give her exposure and showcase the talent she felt was being wasted. It seemed that she would play one vamp after another. She wanted something better. Finally her contract ran out with warner and she signed with MGM where she got two meaty roles. One was in the The Prizefighter and the Lady (1933), and the other as Nora Charles in The Thin Man (1934) with William Powell. Most agreed that the Thin Man series would never have been successful without Myrna. Her witty perception of situations gave her the image that one could not pull a fast one over on the no-nonsense Mrs. Charles. After The Thin Man (1934), Myrna would appear in five more in the series. Myrna was a big box-office draw. She was popular enough that, in 1936, she was named Queen of the Movies and Clark Gable the king in a nationwide poll of movie goers. Her popularity was at its zenith. She continued to make films through the 40s and 50s but the roles were fewer and fewer. By the 1960's the parts had all but dried up as producers and directors looked elsewhere for talent. In 1960 she appeared in Midnight Lace (1960) and was not in another until 1969 in The April Fools (1969). The 1970s found her in TV movies, not theatrical productions. Her last film was in 1981 called Summer Solstice (1981). By the time Myrna passed away, on December 14, 1993, at the age of 88, she had appeared in a phenomenal 129 motion pictures. She was buried in Helena, Montana.

In response to Neal Page's comment:
Are we really at the point where two fumbles created in the SB, but unfortunately not recovered by the D, or nice pass breakups by Sterling Moore are "why can't the D make a play"?
Really? Is this how we're going to go now? A little Johnnie Cochrane type action here? Really?
So, after our offense fiddles with its nuts all game and underachieves, you only care about what happens then towards the end, not in the previous 55+ minutes?
Isn't that convenient.
All three aspects of the team failed to make good plays. The other team has something to do with it. Their D steped up, Our D wasn't able to. Our Offense failed to make some key plays so did the D. It happens, oh well. Try a little middle ground some of the time any you won't have so many agruments unless that is all your here for.

Alcone Makeup Remover Cloths
- Reviews
Alcone's best product Review by Kim
Price Value Quality
If there was ever a product at Alcone I rave about, it is these remover wipes. I get the pop up packs for personal use and use the wrapped ones for my kit. They are great to travel with, no worries on drying out in a package, and really take off everything! They are a bit more than other well known remover wipes but these are also pretty big, almost double the size of the drugstore brands so you only need one to get everything off. Even for FX makeup the most I have ever used is 2. They do not leave any residue on the face either, so they are perfect if you have to do multiple makeup looks on the same client. Ever since I have discovered these wipes, I haven't used anything else. Alcone's remover wipes are one of my kit's staple products. (Posted on 7/8/14)

No. Not that one. This one:
There is, at the moment, a feeding frenzy going on at at least one predominantly atheist/agnostic ex-Mormon message board — ten threads thus far, totaling roughly forty pages — about my viciousness, nastiness, brutality, lack of ethics, and etc., and I know on the basis of reliable reports that the same matter is also being "discussed" elsewhere.
I hope it won't surprise anybody that I don't plead guilty to the charges.
It reminds me, though, of a story about Senator Barry Goldwater, just after he lost the 1964 American presidential election.
He had been so busy campaigning that he had fallen behind in his newspaper reading. Now that he was getting a chance to catch up, though, he was realizing how monolithically hostile to him the coverage in the mainstream media — essentially the only media in existence back then — had been.
Senator Goldwater had a salty tongue, and, at his first post-election press conference, he commented to the assembled journalists that he very much appreciated the time he now had to catch up on his newspaper reading, because, he remarked, he hadn't realized before "what a $%&-d@#$ed son of a b&#$% I am."

Stopped by for lunch yesterday, and saw a car going up the lift hill. It did not appear to be in spin mode, no dummies or anything, and a gathering on the load platform afterwards. I saw another cycle through as I was leaving an hour later, and even walked back for pics/video if another went through, but they immediately had another meeting. It's possible they cycled through more than that when I was on the Dipper or Carousel, there were 3 cars on the track and a few others on the storage spur under wraps. Track looks interesting; I'm hopeful for a big improvement over Hurricane. I get one more work day in the area before they go weekend only, and may go to a Friday night band, too. Meanwhile, here's 2 views from the same spot. I'll make a point to have a camera beyond my phone next time; it's hard to get a good perspective where it is on the 2nd level.

.tel domains are low-cost, low-tech online sites under the control of the

the internet, including mobile. It can be as simple as an online business
card listing all contact information the owner wants to share. However, many
in the .tel community harness the power of dynamic data being stored in a
.tel domain and use them for more complex solutions such as listing weather
reports and city events (bigcity.tel) or a comprehensive public interactive
service directory (yorkregion.tel).
Telnic Limited, the Registry Operator for the .tel domain, will be
represented at the event by Communications Director

I have the nerf bars on my 2012 F150 and they look and function great. Maybe I'm in the minority but upon inspection they looked interchangeable and there was nothing labeled that showed one differently however there is a difference, I found out the hard way and had to switch them around because the steps were just off by 4-5 inches. The instructions were still not the best could be a lot more helpful and all of the sizes of nuts, washers and bolts are all in one big grab bag.

Learn more about Vello FreeWave Plus Wireless Remote Shutter Release - 2.4GHz (for Canon):
Vello's FreeWave Plus Wireless Remote Shutter Release - 2.4GHz is a complete lightweight remote control system that provides a way to trip your camera's shutter while avoiding any possible unwanted camera movement. The FreeWave Plus works in either wired or wireless mode. This is ideal for photographing wildlife, and for macro and close-up photos or long exposures, where the slightest camera movement can ruin a picture.
With the dual function release, press halfway to focus, then press all the way to trigger the shutter. A four-second delay function makes it easy to produce self-portraits. Working on the 2.4GHz frequency gives you reduced radio interference and an extended range (up to 320' (100 m))--you don't need to have line-of-sight alignment, either, as radio waves will pass through walls, windows and floors. LED indicators confirm pre-focus and exposure when in wireless mode. The FreeWave Plus is capable of multiple exposures with a single press of the trigger, and you can control the length of long exposures remotely, also.
This particular FreeWave unit comes with the necessary cables to make it compatible with all Canon cameras that accept a remote control. It can also be adapted to work with virtually any major brand of camera--just switch the dedicated release cable.

This roundup of recent amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) research and clinical trials news includes:
A 40-person phase 2 clinical trial to test the safety and tolerability of Questcor Pharmaceuticals' H.P. Acthar Gel (Acthar) in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has opened at a trial site in Phoenix, Ariz.
James Shorter, associate professor of biochemistry and biophysics at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, was awarded an MDA research grant totaling $300,000 over a period of three years to develop an experimental approach targeted at protein aggregates in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Constanza Cortes, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, San Diego, was awarded an MDA development grant totaling $177,410 over a period of three years to study the role of a cell recycling system in spinal-bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA or Kennedy disease) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Treatment with a small molecule called trehalose was associated with slower disease progression and longer life span in mice with a disease mimicking amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an MDA-supported research team has reported.
Trehalose is a compound composed of two glucose (sugar) molecules.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association has committed $750,000 to help support a phase 2 clinical trial assessing the ability of the NeuRx Diaphragm Pacing System (DPS) to improve respiratory function and quality of life in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
The Northeast Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Consortium (NEALS) is actively seeking participants for a phase 2 clinical trial that will evaluate the safety and tolerability of mexiletine in people with the sporadic form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Approximately 90 to 95 percent of ALS is sporadic, in which there is no known family history of the disease.
South San Francisco biotechnology company Cytokinetics announced July 8, 2013, that a computer program error occurred in its phase 2b BENEFIT-ALS clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and potential efficacy of tirasemtiv in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Borderlands 2
A pattern in class choices between both games
Here's what things were like in Borderlands 1:
Soldier: Mostly seen as a character used when going around the game for the first time, or ones who mainly just get on with whatever they're doing.
Siren: Usually used by those wanting to abuse the hell out of the ridiculously overpowered Hellfire SMG and Phasewalk healing.
Hunter: Everyone else, usually a buzzkiller or somebody who makes crappy montages.
Berserker: Nobody plays Brick.
Borderlands 2 seems to be taking a similar pattern:
Commando: Again, seems to be a popular first pick.
Siren: Somebody will probably find something overpowered about Maya and then it'll catch on like wildfire.
Assassin: Do I really need to explain this?
Gunzerker: Doesn't seem to be as common as the other classes, but at least is more popular than the Berserker ever was since Sal is actually decent.
When Gaige gets released, there's no question that everyone will pick her until a month or two later.
Not complaining or anything, just something that I noticed.
You hop around trying to click on the bad guy's head before he clicks on yours first. ~Interrobangin, on CS:GO
Mordecai with a Firehawk or Defiler was quite comparable for damage. Even Roland had some good legendaries e.g. Draco (easy to miss as it was bugged) or Crux for Lance (the corrosive one; think that was bugged too come to think of it). The thing with the SMGs was that even the blues and purples were OP (Anarchies in particular), so you could walk the game with quite common drops.
The specials were way more unbalanced. Lilith was outright exploitative.
And yeah, Brick was rubbish.
Between Payback, Revenge and Master Blaster, Brick was pretty damn powerful.
Brick wasn't terribad, the problem was that he took a long time to get to a point where he was comparable to the other classes.
I was a Hunter in Borderlands 1 and I kinda resent the whole 'buzzkiller and montage-maker' sentiment. I was a heavy team-player and used to run friends through Eridian Promontory over and over again. I was also the only one who shared all my loot (which I often resented because I would give away the legendaries and cyan gear).
This time around, I was stuck between Commando and Assassin. I was originally going to play as Assassin, but after watching a lot of gameplay, I decided on Commando. I only ever made one Soldier character in Borderlands 1, which I didn't enjoy as much as the Hunter / Siren classes.

Siren in BL1
Siren in BL2
Why? I didn't even know that she was considered OP in BL1 when I picked her. Was just the character that was most appealing to me skillset-wise and visually.
Don't even care for OPness or not, I always pick characters that just appeal to me.
And most likely... will pick Siren in BL3 as well if there is one

Sorceress - Lilith
Wizard - Maya
Barbarian - Brick/Sal
Assassin - Zer0
Druid - Gauge
Incompetent good intentions will only bring tragedy. If you intend to do what is right, you need the strength to accompany that. -Kratos Aurion (ToS)
I played each character up till sanctuary and have gone from there. At that point my favorite was Maya but pretty much just because the bonus to elemental chance. Since then I've been playing them all 10 levels at a time and quite frankly it all really depends on the gear. Hell, I rarely even use skills.
Mordecai was ridiculously OP in BL1, Trespass on a masher Unforgiven would 1shot just about anything.

In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming
I was going to make the standard RPG class comparison too. They're pretty similar archetypes and people like them for the same reasons.
Axton/Roland = Warrior, more or less your standard, versatile pick. A lot of people will think they're boring/lame at a glance, but it's exactly their versatility that makes them cool.
Maya/Lilith = Mage, power over elements and pretty much the go-to for people who just want to **** **** up in the most wonderfully explodey fashion possible.
Zer0/Mordecai = Thief, the fast or sneaky, excels at assassination, the go-to for people who enjoy a more "subtle" badassery, clean kills in the form of huge crits and backstabs.
Salvador/Brick = TANK ALL THE THINGS KILL ALL THE THINGS LIVE HARD AND DIE NEVER AAAAA
and then yeah, Gaige will be our druid/necromancer/summoner, for the kinda guys who like their minions/indirect combat. [Although everyone will use her once she's out just because she'll be new, and they paid for her in a sense, but that's kind of irrelevant to the topic.]

Pros: "Reliable, safe, luxurious, appealing design"
Cons: "Slightly underpowered"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I have a 2003 model, but everyone thinks that it is newer than that. For a 10 year old car, it drives better than most new cars on the market today. Styling on the outside and inside are classy and timeless, perfect entry-level luxury car. Soft blue head lights are a nice feature. Minor touches throughout like a chrome tipped exhaust make it look more expensive than it is. Inside, there is plenty of room up front although rear seat room can be tight if the seats are pushed all the way back. Charcoal leather and light gray roof/pillars are an appealing combo. Best part is the California Redwood trim, very high quality. All the amenities you'd expect in a luxury car. The only drawback is the acceleration.. although its flawless and very reliable, it is a bit under-powered. Lexus corrected this for 2004 by putting a 3.3 liter engine in instead of a 3.0 liter. Pedal to the floor if merging on highways on an incline. Otherwise there's sufficient power. Overall, if you want a car that looks good, retains its value, is comfortable and reliable to the point you'll never have to think about it, this is the car. Lexus cars are the best"

"I bought my first Lexus, a certified 2005 ES330 with only 10,000 miles on it. I owned a Toyota Camry before and wanted to step up. The ride is smooth and quiet. The styling didn't do a lot for me, but it grows on you. I love interior the best. The generous use of birdseye maple and the nicely stitched smooth leather are unequaled for other cars in the same price range. The car is very reliable as all I've had are the routine oil changes. The only big issue is the gas mileage has been terrible for me. I only get 25 at most on the highway and I always use premium. This may be related to the acceleration problem I have with the car. I got the dealer to look at it and was told that the transmission was reprogrammed to eliminate a hesitation during slow speeds. This is a common problem with the 2002-2006 Lexus ES. Although it fixed the hesitation, I have to live with poor fuel economy. Interior is very comfortable, but one minor issue is the center console squeaks because of a cheap plastic latch. This is unforgiveable for a car in this class. Overall, it's not perfect, but there are little features here and there that redeem the car. Things such as one touch window switches, auto climate control, steering wheel radio controls, rain sensing wipers, heating AND cooling seats, and rear sunshade. Oh, and the free car wash, lattes, and the wifi at the dealerships are great, too. I have gotten spoiled with these items and I miss them whenever I drive a rental car on trips."

"Best car I've ever owned. Now has 175,000 miles on it, as I'm in sales and drive approx. 35k miles yearly (I've had it for 4 years and have driven 148k of those miles). I just now spent the first cent outside of normal maintenance I ever have, and that was nothing but a fluke (some road debris underneath knocked the line loose going to the A/C evac. chamber, leaking onto my passenger floor). Quiet, silky smooth ride, decent power for anyone other than a NASCAR-wannabe, and simply pampers its driver in luxury."
