'Skyfall,' 'Game of Thrones' win SAG stunt awards
LOS ANGELES The James Bond adventure "Skyfall" and the fantasy series "Game of Thrones" have picked up prizes for best stunt work from the Screen Actors Guild.
The stunt honors were announced Sunday on the red carpet before the official SAG Awards ceremony, as stars were gathering for their guild's big night.
JoBeth Williams and Scott Bakula announced the winners, noting the value of stunt players, who often are overlooked for their contributions to film and television.
"The stunt men and women of our union are critical to the work that gets done," Bakula said. "They keep us healthy, they keep us alive, they keep us working. They keep our shows working."
Among the early arrivals were Sally Field, Peter Facinelli, Steve Buscemi, Ellie Kemper, Busy Phillips and Alec Baldwin, who has won six-straight SAG awards for actor in a comedy series.
"It's all the actors. It's all the tribe," Sally Field, a supporting-actress nominee for the Civil War epic "Lincoln," said of the SAG honors. "I've always been incredibly proud to be a member of the tribe."
"You get to see everyone here at the SAG Awards," said Facinelli, a co-star of the "Twilight" movies and "Nurse Jackie," which is nominated for best TV comedy cast. "It's where the reunion happens."
The SAG honors are the latest show in a puzzling Academy Awards season in which Hollywood's top prize, the best-picture Oscar, looks up for grabs among several key nominees.
Among nominees for the 19th annual guild awards are Oscar winners Field, Daniel Day-Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones for "Lincoln"; Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway for the Victor Hugo musical adaptation "Les Miserables"; and Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Oscar recipient Robert De Niro for the oddball romance "Silver Linings Playbook."
De Niro and Jones are in an exclusive supporting-actors group where all five nominees are past Oscar winners. The others are Alan Arkin for the Iran hostage-crisis thriller "Argo," Javier Bardem for the James Bond adventure "Skyfall" and Philip Seymour Hoffman for the cult drama "The Master."
Honors from the actors union, next weekend's Directors Guild of America Awards and Saturday night's Producers Guild of America Awards - whose top honor went to "Argo" - typically help to establish clear favorites for the Oscars.
But Oscar night on Feb. 24 looks more uncertain this time after some top directing prospects, including Ben Affleck for "Argo" and Kathryn Bigelow for "Zero Dark Thirty," missed out on nominations. Both films were nominated for best picture, but a movie rarely wins the top Oscar if its director is not also in the running.
Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" would seem the Oscar favorite with 12 nominations. Yet "Argo" and Affleck were surprise best-drama and director winners at the Golden Globes, and then there's Saturday's Producers Guild win for "Argo," leaving the Oscar race looking like anybody's guess.
Affleck has made some nice jokes about his directing snub, wisecracking at one point that no one seemed surprised he didn't get an acting nomination for "Argo," either.

Stanford using Drupal
I've been around the web long enough to know a good-looking site when I see one -- http://shc.stanford.edu is a good looking site. It is the home page of the Stanford Humanities Center, and it uses Drupal.
And there is more. A quick glance at https://techcommons.stanford.edu/topics/drupal/sites-using-drupal-stanford reveals a list of over fifty Drupal sites currently active at Stanford. As far as I saw on the ones I clicked on, each site is different.
This trend isn't specific to Stanford. We see it at MIT, Harvard and many other universities. More and more universities start to embrace Drupal. At many of those, Drupal is slowly becoming the de facto platform for web development. It is an emerging trend, and one that introduces a lot of students to Drupal.
Thanks for noticing Dries! Drupal has certainly been taking off here at SU for the last couple years, and the pace is only increasing.
We have buy-in from our central IT organization, who has devised a rather impressive Drupal installer/updater; beginning, intermediate, and advanced Drupal training courses; our own homegrown SSO WebAuth module; an internal listserv with 150+ subscribers; you already noticed TechCommons, which has 60 reference articles devoted to Drupal; and most importantly a vibrant, collegial and supportive user base.
All that together with DrupalConSF in 2010 ... it's a very exciting time to be involved with Drupal.

Hey, my title fit! But yes, I would rather do irreparable harm to my reproductive system then subject myself to these games again. Onward!
Decent premise and story, but the worst control scheme in history gives this game the distinction of being the only game I've ever returned. It's like playing a DS game with giant clown mittens on.
I never made it past the first stage - I'd run down the alley and get punched to death by a midget. This game was the worst thing to happen to my Nintendo since my grandma thought she could clean it by putting it in the dishwasher.
Fun fact - zombies won't attack you (or move!) if you're standing on a crate. This game was made by muppets.
An RTS where ranged units require ammo... but there are no ways to gather, make, or distribute said ammo. I gave this game to a kid I hated in middle school so he'd leave me alone forever.
This game and I have a storied history. I bought it and the strategy guide and got too much change back, so I figured it was a sign from on high about how awesome it would be. Not so. In single-player matches, your turn was 10 minutes long... and the 7 AI opponents would each take the FULL 10 MINUTES to do their turn. It took 80 minutes to play one round. A later patch apparently corrected that, but I stopped playing long before then.
SNES version. Want to build a custom pro QB? Too bad! Your stats start out so poor that you can't improve them in the challenges designed to improve your stats! Also, I hope Randall Cunningham is your favorite player ever, because he's the only QB in the game that can move faster then a fat lady in a Rascal.
Gameboy Version. Ever wanted to play a cheap, greyscale knockoff of Zelda 2 except instead of link, you get Dennis Quaid? Then dig this one out of the dumpster and have yourself a merry christmas. Awful.
Chalk this one up to "the man at the store said this was a good game." I'd rather get botulism from a can of old peaches then be asked (REAL QUESTION) who a senator from Arizona was (answer - Barry Goldwater). Junior edition my ass.
The only thing that could make this game worse is if it had actual carnies in it.

It took a trip to Harvard for the Uttar Pradesh top brass to realize that back home their house was not in order
Cosmic alignment and karmic faith in one of the oldest practised religion had set the stage for the biggest show in recorded human history. Juggernaut arrangements by authorities and unprecedented outpour of the faithful and the curious flooded the cyber spaces with ash smeared nudity and surreal vibrance. The world watched spellbound as the mystical drama played out. Came March 12, marking the end of the auspicious arrangements. The shutterbugs flew away and amnesia set in. Both Sangam (confluence of the Ganga and the Yamuna) and Allahabad, the city that hosted the Kumbh, rapidly slipped from popular imagination into oblivion.
It would have remained so had not a bunch of researchers from the prestigious Harvard University, who had lived the 55 days of festivities with pilgrims, decided to hold a grand celebration of the mega success of the event. Tens of thousands had toiled endlessly to provide for the millions of pilgrims who thronged the ghats of the Sangam. For a change, Ganga flowed and its water quality became the major national concern warranting personal monitoring by no person less than the prime minister of India. No one knows the exact number of attendees but it is safe to put the estimate somewhere in the range of 100-200 million. With just three dozen dead at a stampede, it surely was a crushing organisational success. But let's not overwhelm ourselves with the magnitude of the event again, and return to its resurrection in popular media thanks to Harvard.
The chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav, was flown to USA to revisit Kumbh and share his success mantra. I also happened to travel back to Allahabad a week prior, my hometown and proud host of yet another Kumbh. Being a local boy, I was prepared for the deluge of waste in the city post the largest human congregation in the world. What I was not prepared for, however, was the complete absence of any cleaning up.
The holiest of holy sites which looked picturesque not so long ago, had turned into post-apocalypse sadness. Lined with heaps of garbage, bubbling cesspools of filth and burning solid waste, Sangam had turned into a scavenging ground. Teaming with men and boys paddling and digging in what were once the shiny ghats for coins and precious offerings. Ganga had shrunk visibly to less than its quarter and with factories upstream running full blast pouring their guts out, everything was back to business as usual. No godmen threatening to go on hunger strike and no prime minister concerned with the river's water quality. Discontinuation of fogging of the city with insecticides coupled with widespread garbage and cesspools has fast turned Allahabad into a hot bed for vector breeding. Residents are left to struggle with the sorry state of affairs.
Harvard chose to describe the event as a big fat Indian wedding, but even in weddings people don't go on their honeymoon before cleaning up the house. Pictures of the unholy aftermath started appearing in media a few day before Akhilesh's much hyped lecture. Pictures were mailed to organizers at Harvard. People were starting to take notice and ask uncomfortable but real questions. The extended frisking of Azam Khan, senior cabinet ministry of UP and member of Akhilesh's entourage, at Boston airport (which recently had suffered terror bombing during that annual Boston Marathon), offered the perfect cover-up to boycott the lecture and avoid the pinching ground reality.
Jawed Usmani, the chief secretary of UP, who replaced a brooding Akhilesh at the Harvard lecture, has just returned from the US. He made a quick visit to Allahabad and made a quick inspection of Sangam site. Official machinery has been pulled up and an immediate clean-up of the area has been entrusted to the Allahabad Municipal Corporation. Latest news is that 350 sanitation workers are employed for the job. One can just pray that this late but much-needed action doesn't fall victim to another stroke of amnesia.
On January 11 while packing up to catch my Allahabad bound train to attend the much-hyped inauguration of Maha Kumbh, I described my feelings as one precariously poised between excitement and horror. It has now been almost two months since the human sea ebbed from Allahabad and my predictions of the Kumbh's aftermath have been proved right. This proposed clean-up can solve some short term problems of health and sanitation. But unless the full ecological consequences of such a mega undertaking are not fully understood and planned for, the karma of Kumbh will keep returning to haunt Allahabad's residents.

Hoping to spur progress, Tennessee Tech University researchers, working individually and collaboratively, are helping solve pieces of the fuel cell puzzle. Fuel cells offer zero emissions and could eliminate dependence on fossil fuels because they transform hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy with only one byproduct, water. But that's where the simplicity ends and issues about costs and efficiency arise.
"Our goal is to create an industrial base in Tennessee for fuel cells and a hydrogen economy," said Ken Currie, director of TTU's Center for Manufacturing Research. "We're promoting synergy among ourselves, private companies, and research centers such as Oak Ridge National Lab. We're working toward a goal we think can be reached."
Currie pointed to the state of California, which recently mandated hydrogen stations along primary interstates in order to promote use of alternative fuels, as an example of a type of program he and colleagues would like to see in Tennessee. However, TTU researchers are still searching for solutions to critical problems that keep fuel cell costs high and inhibit efficiency for commercial use.
At the forefront is John Zhu, a mechanical engineering professor who works on finding materials that will lower fuel cell costs. Backed by a National Science Foundation award, Zhu focuses on solid oxide fuel cells, which operate at high temperatures (around 600-800 degrees C) and are best suited for utility company use.
The structure of a fuel cell depends on a sandwich of plates that allows high conductivity. Ceramic plates work very well at high temperatures, but they are expensive, hard to fabricate and very brittle. Zhu experiments with metal plates, which are cheaper and more reliable. However, they must be coated to reach the same conductivity as ceramic. He leads efforts to find a practical and cost effective coating material.
Mechanical engineering professor Glenn Cunningham specializes in collaborating with industry and higher education institutions to pool talent and compete for federal funding for projects such as Zhu's. He was the lead on a proposal that brought together Tennessee Tech, Dana-Plumly Corp. of Paris, Tenn., ORNL and another university to work on improving coatings on the all-important plates.
"More common materials, such as iron or nickel chromium, are less expensive, but are also susceptible to corrosion. They'll be eaten up during the chemical reaction unless properly coated," explained Cunningham. "We are experimenting with a nitride coating that will not only protect the plates, but actually enhance plate conductivity."
Some developers see solid oxide fuel cells being used in motor vehicles, but Currie points to one obvious issue with that application— the extreme temperatures are too hot to operate within a vehicle.
On the other end of the spectrum, Chunsheng Wang, a CMR faculty member and assistant professor in chemical engineering, has worked on a different type of fuel cell that operates at about 80 degrees C, a little less than the temperature of boiling water and low enough to be practical for autos, laptops and other portable devices. Labeled a PEM, or proton exchange membrane fuel cell, it still depends on the simple chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. The current version works well in hybrid autos, but users are for the most part limited to using pure hydrogen. Wang is looking for novel materials that will allow varying fuels to be used that are cleaner and more cost effective.
Wang also is tackling an inherent problem of any fuel cell — peak power demand for those times when the user needs a quick burst of power. For that burst, energy has to be stored either in a separate battery or super capacitor (which is costly and inefficient). Wang however, has developed an intrinsic super capacitor that can actually store energy within the fuel cell without requiring additional cost or complexity.
Chemistry assistant professor Titus Albu focuses on the molecular level investigation of another significant obstacle preventing fuel cells from being used in everyday applications — the slow process of the transformation of oxygen to water. Supported by an Oak Ridge Associated Universities award, he is using computer programs to study the reactions of hydrogen and oxygen, seeking a balance that will produce the greatest efficiency. Much like a battery, fuel cells involve positive and negative charges, but oxygen does not accept electrons as easily as hydrogen donates them, making the overall process unbalanced and less efficient.
"If the voltage is too low, there's not enough electrical power drawn from the chemical reaction ," said Albu. "New materials, such as different alloys of certain metals, may be the key to finding the balance. Platinum produces the most efficient reaction, but it is expensive and breaks down too quickly."
Currently, there are no existing computer models for fuel cells that can predict the behavior of the power sources with reasonable accuracy in real time. TTU chemical engineering professor Venkat Subramanian and his research team are addressing the need for an accurate dynamic model.
"Using experimental techniques alone to obtain fuel cell characteristics under a wide range of operating conditions is a time-consuming and formidable task," said Subramanian. "Modeling and simulation, combined with a limited number of experiments, is the only solution. We focus on simplifying these models without sacrificing accuracy, and we combine models for bettering understanding.
"In current hybrid vehicles, electrical circuits used don't predict behavior and eventually fail," explained Subramanian. "Complicated models provide high performance, but require putting a costly computer on board that raises the price of the vehicle. We are working on a simplified model using a microprocessor that will increase performance and reduce costs."
All TTU researchers working with fuel cells expect that small steps toward improving efficiency and reducing costs will one day add up to seeing fuel cells in common use in vehicles and other commercial uses in this country.
"Twenty years ago, fuel cells still seemed like science fiction," said Albu. "But with rising gas prices and a strong interest in improving current technology, using fuel cells looks more feasible than ever before."

The narrow 4-3 loss to World Champions Italy on Thursday was certainly a shock result.
tvnz.co.nz looks at some of the lessons learned...
Chris and Shane: A killer combination
There was some interest in how Chris Killen and Shane Smeltz would fare on the pitch together and the early evidence is promising. The duo scored three goals between them against the notoriously stingy Italians and seemed to strike up a good understanding.
Speed wobbles on defence
The All Whites sans Ryan Nelsen will always struggle defensively. The team defended manfully for large periods of the game but upon sober reflection on Friday Ricki Herbert and his coaching staff will be disappointed with the 'soft' nature of at least three of the Italian goals.
Experience does count
You can't beat top-level experience. Defender Ivan Vicelich has been recently confined to the relative football backwater of the NZFC with Auckland City but gave an assured performance at the heart of the New Zealand defence. Vicelich spent almost a decade in the Dutch league and still has pedigree.
Class usually prevails
Andreas Pirlo is one best midfielders in the world and Vincente Iaquinta certainly one of the top strikers. Their introduction turned the match as the New Zealanders couldn't counter the quickness of pass and speed of movement.
Getting some perspective
Almost every player in the Italian squad is worth more individually on the open market than the entire All Whites squad, which illustrates the gulf in class. Sure the New Zealanders were perhaps taking the game more seriously than the Europeans but there are a lot of positives to take away for Ricki Herbert and his men.
What happened to Catenaccio?
Italian teams are famous for their cagey defending and are notoriously difficult to score against. But the Italy seemed to represent the Shaky Island on Thursday, conceding three and it could have been more.
It is a team in transition and the best goalkeeper in the world was being rested. His replacement had the sort of performance not seen since David "Calamity" James and his Anfield nightmares in the late 90's.
Future implications
The All Whites will no longer be able to fly under the radar at this Confederations Cup and Spain, South Africa and Iraq will be well aware of the threat they pose, especially from set pieces. No one knows how seriously the Italians took the game but for New Zealand there are only positive aspects to take away.
Top level sport is all about building confidence and combinations and with every assured performance Ricki Herbert's outfit can take more of both into the all-important world cup qualifiers come October and November.
So what will happen in the Cup?
Not much has changed here . The Spanish are said to be privately targeting a 4-0 victory on Monday and given the attacking riches at their disposal and fluid style of play it is certainly more than possible. The All Whites will set their own goals based on credibility, respect and improving their performance from the one against Italy.
Kiwi optimists will hope for a point against South Africa and then it is all up for grabs in the last group game against Iraq, who seem to be undoubtedly the minnows of the tournament.

When I think back to my childhood I realize, "Wow, I did watch a lot of television and movies." With all the new technology that has arrived since I've reached my teenage years, it seems as if we never did focus as much on electronics as younger kids do today. This is quite wrong though. As I think back to the different things I used to watch, and the way they affected me, I do really realize how television did change my childhood.
The most common and practical thing that television would take away is physical activity. This has obviously not changed for children at all and potentially has gotten even worse. Many theories of childhood obesity revolve around the use of technology such as television, video games, and the internet. A study done on this topic shows that their results were in fact showing that amount of time spent in front of television did change the body shape and size of children.
So we can ask the question, are children just missing out on health benefits? Or are there other things that will vary from child to child, with each adolescent missing out on something in life?

Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) is a community based, free, self help program aimed at reducing the incidence of preventable crime and preserving your way of life. The Shire of Harvey in partnership with the W.A. Police will be focusing on the community of Australind to increase active participation for this program. Its success depends on your support!
A Police Officer on patrol may not know what is normal in your street and may not recognise a stranger in your yard. You and your neighbours are in a position to observe and report anything of a suspicious nature to Police. Most neighbours already observe activities in their street, however many people do not do anything about suspicious activities because they do not know what to do, or if their neighbours would appreciate their involvement. Neighbourhood Watch is protection of your property through communication and co-operation amongst the community. NHW provides great opportunity to get to know your neighbours and enhance the sense of community in Australind.
To get involved in the program you should:

Treatment for
chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) focuses on making you
feel better so that you can resume a normal life. Simple measures you can take
at home—such as improving your sleep habits and getting gentle exercise—are
important parts of treatment. Talking with a counselor or psychologist has been
proved to be helpful for people who have CFS.1
Although there is no cure for CFS, many of its symptoms do respond to
Pain relievers that you can buy
without a prescription, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or aspirin, may help
relieve headaches, muscle and joint pain, and other physical symptoms. Narcotic
pain relievers, which require a prescription from a doctor, may
become addictive if they are used frequently, So they are typically prescribed
in the most severe cases on a short-term basis.
antidepressants and getting counseling can help
relieve your other symptoms, whether you have
depression or not. Antidepressants are used to improve
your mood, control your pain, and help you sleep. With CFS, treating both
physical and psychological factors is important.
There are many
unproven remedies, such as special diets or mineral
supplements, that some people recommend for treating CFS. There is no evidence
that any of these are effective.1
Home treatment is very
Adjusting your daily schedule to take advantage of times when you have more energy, improving your sleep
habits, and getting regular and gentle exercise can often help you feel better.
Beginning a graded exercise program, in which the level of exercise starts out
easy and gradually grows more challenging, should be part of your treatment.
Studies have shown that a carefully planned exercise program can help people
with CFS regain their strength and energy and feel better.1 Remember that if you have CFS, you will be able to do only
light exercise. Doing too much or increasing your level of exercise too quickly
can make your symptoms worse.
A type of counseling called
cognitive-behavioral therapy has been shown to help
people who have CFS feel less tired.1 It is counseling
that teaches people how to change the way they think and behave to cope more
successfully with their fatigue and other symptoms.
Even though
it's not easy, keeping a good attitude is a great benefit for people with CFS.
Your mind and body are connected and influence each other. Physical illnesses
can be made worse—or better—by your feelings and attitudes, and vice versa.
Learn as much as you can about your disease and work with your doctor to learn
ways to cope with your symptoms. Get emotional support from your health
professionals as well as from your family and friends. It's easy to get caught
in a cycle of frustration, anger, and depression. Learning to cope with your
symptoms will help you avoid that cycle.
Regular visits to your doctor every few months can help
track your progress and evaluate any changes in your symptoms that might
indicate that your fatigue is caused by something other than CFS.
The good
news about CFS is that it rarely gets worse over time. In some people, it goes
away in 1 or 2 years. Others have periods of relatively good health followed by
periods of severe symptoms and great difficulty. Relapses are not unusual.
Continue to see your doctor periodically to monitor changes in your
Although the cause of
chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is not well understood,
the fatigue is real and can make day-to-day activities difficult. As you work
toward regaining your strength and energy, don't go too fast. Aim for a gradual
return to your previous level of activity.
Doctors focus on
giving support, information, and counseling, and on treating problems that
arise as a result of symptoms of CFS. If you are depressed, your doctor may
prescribe an antidepressant. Medicines are also prescribed to help you sleep,
relieve your pain, and treat blood-pressure problems. Blood pressure problems
may include
orthostatic hypotension in which your heart beats
faster and your blood pressure drops when you stand or sit up quickly.
Joining a support group can reassure you that there
are others who share your experience, that you are not alone. Talking to others
who have CFS can help you keep a good attitude, which is critically
important to feeling better.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - The first piece of our New Year's weather system brought moderate snow to areas roughly north of Highway 30 on Tuesday.
Reports of two to four inches of snow were common, while only a dusting or less fell from around Highway 30 and the south. The first round of snow will taper off through the evening, giving a break in most of the snow for the first part of the night.
Additional snow will move back into eastern Iowa late Tuesday night and continue through New Year's Day. All of the TV9 viewing area should be affected by this round of snow. While it won't be a heavy snow, it will be fluffy enough to accumulate fairly easily.
Just like Monday's snow, temperatures will be cold enough to cause very slick roads in a short amount of time.
Snow will lighten to just flurries on Wednesday night. Storm totals of 3-6" are likely roughly near and north of Interstate 80; this includes what already fell on Tuesday. The southern part of the area should receive 1-3".
Winds will be relatively light, generally around 5 to 15 mph from the northeast. Blowing and drifting snow won't be a widespread problem.

I haven't worn it long enough (throughout a whole day) but this is my review for my initial thoughts, swatches, etc.
SKIN COLOR: NC 25, uneven/red
Ok wow there are so many pretty pretty colors. I'm sure this doesn't match up to MAC but for the price holy crap .. it's a steal for sure. When I first opened it, my eyes went straight to the hot pink color..swiped it and my eyes popped out .. this this is super pigmented. After, I put it on my cheeks and wow I looked like a doll... it would be great to put on for some type of occasion or for a show...other than that I will def not be using that color on a regular basis. I love that I can mix to get that perfect color. My 2 fav so far are the ones in the very end .. the peach sparkle/coral shimmer. I mixed both and it gave me an awesome finish. Don't use too much product b/c it'll be overboard on the blush. I'll be giving an update so far so good :)

this is by far my favorite purchase from coastal scents! just for reference i am an NW20 skin tone and i can wear every shade that comes in the palette. the colors are very pigmented and not chalky at all. i am a fanatic about blush and i own alot but i always seem to reach for this palette and i can even use a couple different shades at a time. i highly suggest purchasing this one if you are gonna buy anything at all from coastal scents! this is a steal!

Looks nice when first applied but then fades. It's nice having all those colors but not worth it if it doesn't stay. Still going to keep it for photo shoots but not to use on myself.

I think that this palette is just okay. thats it. The pigmentation was not as good as what i had expected from all the hype. I dont own any MAC or NARS blushes to compare, but compared to my clinique ones, i like those better. They were fairly powdery and chalky, and dont show up much on my NC30 skin... ><;; its a pain in the ass whenever i get anything onto it, because it wont come off. like the powder will just stay on it..And also, now Coastal Scents has the name of the palette and the company name on the cover....yeah.. dont like that either... i covered up with random drawings i did.. =)
I wont rebuy this. i doubt i'll run out, especially since i wont use 7 of the blushes anyways..
but, imo.. if you have a pinker undertone, and lighter skin color than me (light caucasian skin for example/not meant to be racist) then more colors will probably work on you than they would on me. =) continued >>

This is a great palette for anyone who doesn't have a lot of blushes, and would like to experiment with different shades. That's what I use it for. In terms of quality as an everyday blush, although it is pretty pigmented, I find that the texture is too chalky/powdery, and the staying power is lacking. But for the price of less than one MAC or NARS blush, you get a range of shades/warmeth, so not bad for experimentation, so that you know what shades to get from the pricier brands.
BTW, I got mine from ebay from this seller called "jolieee" or something. It is the exact same palette that Coastal Scents sells but way cheaper (just under 20 dollars including shipping) , but I wouldn't recommend this particular seller. The shipping took over 30 days (yes, it really did), and the seller never responded to my inquiries in the mean time.

I (NW 20) love this palette!
There are three colors in it I am definitely not going to use because they don't suit me at all, but all the rest of them are perfect!
I like the fact that the colors are not overly pigmented, although I can imagine that people with darker complexions might have problems with this.
I like to build color step by step.
The case is better than the case of 88 shadow palette.
After I purchased it from CS, I realized that I could get it much cheaper, that's practically the only thing regarding this palette that I don't like.

I don't get all the excitement Coastal Scents gets for their palettes. I found this blush one to be poorly pigmented, very messy and powdery, and only 1 or 2 useable pans on my NC30-35 skin. The others don't even show up on my face! Bah! A lot of hype for very little results. I can't imagine buying this again unless all the colors are changed drastically (you know, like ones that actually HAVE pigment in them).

I simply adore this palette. I like using light and bright colors as opposed to using bronzers or deeper colors, and this suits me just right. I had monthes long reservations on whether to get this, because on my monitor the colors looked so dull and muted. I was completely wrong. This is actually comprised of really bright colors, somewhat too bright or light for ladies darker than NC35. The texture is silky and smooth, and blends like a dream. It is not as pigmented as MAC or NAR blushes, but somehow I like the less-pigmented texture better because I can always build up more to get color and dimension. This somehow "magically" controls the intensity; no matter how hard I pile this on, it "automatically" mutes itself down and stays that way all day. No fading with minimal oxidation (which every blush cannot avoid).
Overall this is very useable and practical, compared to the awesome price, ($17 for 10 colors!) and tons of different looks can be created with this one. I love this.

This palette may not be a good buy for someone with a dark skin tone like mine. Out of the 10 colors I can only use one as a blush. There is a bronze color that I can use as a bronzer but everything else is useless to me. The colors are not very pigmented so using them as a eyeshadow is not an option. I really wanted to love this product but it just didn't work out for me.

I really like this palette, you get a lot for your money. The colors are really nice and pigmented. Im an NC35 and these show up really well on my skin. The thing I love the most is that they dont oxidize on me. Most blushes, Including MAC, end up turning orange on my cheeks. I would definitely buy this again and would really like it if CS came out with another palette with different blush colors.

Mustang MonthlyFeatured Vehicles
Birth of the Mustang - History of How it All Began
Fifty years ago, the result of the Fairlane Committee's research became one of the most successful cars of all time
Pilot plant vehicle chassis, referred to as "pilot cars," were hand assembled from the first preliminary metal stampings at the Allen Park facility just outside Dearborn. As the first prototype cars were assembled, it was the first time that the engineers' designs were manufactured as actual metal stampings to create production-type vehicles. Those stampings were assembled, by hand, into a pilot chassis. This was where it became apparent whether the parts would actually fit and work in concert as desired. No first-design effort of the 1960s was ever perfect the first time and the Mustang was no exception.
After a chassis was assembled, meetings were held in a room adjacent to the assembled vehicle. There, engineers and designers critiqued their own specific parts and made recommendations for changes that would be required to make their part completely functional and harmonious with the overall design. If a part required modification, the appropriate design changes were made and a new replacement part was constructed and installed on the chassis to test fit and performance. Many changes were made to most of the parts.
Allen Park pilot cars are documented as being assembled from September 1963 through February 1964. These cars were hand built, with a pre-production run of approximately 180-200 "try-out," or special use, cars made initially for Ford in-house use. Some of these vehicles were built at the Allen Park facility. The majority were assembled at the Dearborn Assembly Plant in the pre-production run of vehicles starting February 10. Once the Allen Park chassis were assembled, those vehicles were either completed in full running gear, paint, and trim, or were left at some unfinished level of assembly depending on the intended purpose for that particular chassis. Some of the Allen Park cars were used for road testing, including suspension checks and unibody durability. Others were used for crash tests. Still others were used for drivetrain and performance tests or simply as study and assembly samples.
A number of these Mustangs included custom leaded seams at the door jambs and trunk perimeters, a process known as "Show Car Preparation" for cars designated for Ford special use, such as initial display cars, advertising photography, etc.
Many of these chassis initially had no VIN identification numbers so Ford would not have to pay an excise tax on a newly created vehicle. Others had Allen Park Pilot Plant identification numbers designated by the letter "S" in the VIN number.
After life at Allen Park, there were a number of pilot vehicles which hadn't been destroyed in testing. With a shortage of parts for the initial production run, these chassis were loaded on trucks and delivered to the main Dearborn Assembly Plant building where they were placed in temporary storage on the second floor in what was known as the Body Pool, where they would remain until needed on the main assembly line. Those Mustangs first produced on the assembly line are recognized as pre-production cars.
All of the pre-production Mustangs were produced up until March 5, 1964. The assembly line was switched on the March 7-8 weekend from pre-production to production status, and the first production Mustangs started rolling off the line on March 10. All of these Mustangs were built on the same assembly line as the larger Fairlane models.
Mustangs built between March 10 and April 17 were strategically shipped to Ford dealers, both nationally and internationally, to be available for the new model introduction ceremonies. It is believed that the first domestic retail sale was a '65 convertible documented as sold in Chicago on April 15, two days before the official April 17 introduction day. The buyer, Gail Brown (now Gail Wise), still owns her convertible today.
The first VIN numbered pre-production Mustang, a Wimbledon White convertible, resides today in The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn. The first VIN numbered hardtop, 100002, is owned privately in California. Other pre-production Mustangs have surfaced over the years, including the privately owned 100004 that was used on the Magic Skyway at the New York World's Fair, as have a few of the earliest production line cars. Most of the early cars are presently unaccounted for and have dropped into obscurity over the past 50 years.
Over the past 50 years, more than nine million Mustangs have rolled off Ford assembly lines and enjoy a unique recognition as an American icon, with five decades of continuous uninterrupted production. The new '15 Mustang has just been revealed and Ford's icon will continue on into the annals of automotive history as one of the most successful automobiles to come from a Detroit auto builder.
A national Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration will be held in Las Vegas and Charlotte on April 16-20, incorporating the exact Mustang anniversary date of April 17, exactly 50 years to the day of the first public introduction. Visit www.mustang50thbirthdaycelebration.com for details.

AROUND 95 per cent of the world's coral reefs have been damaged by overfishing, dynamiting, poisoning, pollution or ships' anchors, the first global survey has found.
Reef Check, which was carried out over the summer at 300 sites in the Caribbean, the Indo-Pacific region and the Red Sea, reveals that fish and shellfish that were once common on reefs have been decimated on the majority of them. Gregor Hodgson, coordinator of Reef Check and a marine biologist at the Institute for Environment and Sustainable Development at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, describes the results as extremely alarming. "Since 1990, divers have reported rapidly increasing damage to reefs all over the world, but there has been little supporting scientific data," he says. "Now we have evidence that coral reefs are being plundered on a global basis."
The survey was carried out by 750 volunteer divers and ...

Eating a diet consisting largely of fast food could cause your waistline to bulge more than eating the same amount of fat from healthier sources.
Monkeys fed a diet rich in trans-fats - commonly found in fast foods - grew bigger bellies than those fed a diet rich in unsaturated fats, but containing the same overall number of calories. They also developed signs of insulin resistance, which is an early indicator of diabetes.
Trans-fats, or partially hydrogenated oils, are found in many fast foods and also in baked goods and processed snacks. They dramatically increase the risk of heart disease - even more than saturated fats found in animal products.
Kylie Kavanagh, at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, US, wondered how this "killer fat" would affect the risk of diabetes in 51 vervet monkeys.
She fed one group of monkeys a diet where 8% of their daily calories came from trans-fats and another 27% came from other fats. This is comparable to people who eat a lot of fried food, says Kavanagh. A different group of monkeys was fed the same diet, but the trans-fats were substituted for mono-unsaturated fats, found in olive oil, for example.
Both groups ate the same total calories, which were carefully metered to be just enough for subsistence.
Path to diabetes
After six years on the diet, the trans-fat-fed monkeys had gained 7.2% of their body weight, compared to just 1.8% in the unsaturated group. CT scans also revealed that the trans-fat monkeys carried 30% more abdominal fat, which is risk factor for diabetes and heart disease.
"We were shocked. Despite all our enormous efforts to make sure they didn't gain weight, they still did. And most of that weight ended up on their tummies," says Kavanagh, who presented her findings at the American Diabetes Association meeting in Washington DC, on Monday. "This is walking them straight down the path to diabetes."
This is the first study to show such a dramatic result on abdominal fat, adds Dariush Mozaffarian at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, US. "The days of thinking about fats just as calories are over," he says.
Partially hydrogenated oils can easily be replaced by other oils during food production. Last week, fast-food giant Wendy's announced that it was cutting partially hydrogenated oils from its food in the US and Canada, while in January, food manufacturers in US were ordered to label all trans-fats on packaged goods.

(KPRC) Police in Houston, Texas say a mother is recovering in the hospital after a man drove a car through her garage and into her home on Tuesday.
According to Houston police, a man drove his car through a 37-year-old woman's home, pinning her inside.
Police believe he was under the influence when he drove through the garage and into two bedrooms. The windshield of the vehicle was broken and the car had multiple scratches.
"He didn't seem to stop. There's no sign of skid marks or anything like that," said Phillip Harmon, the woman's dad. "I just hope my daughter's alright."

Sugar cane is a crop which generates large amounts of biomass and a juice rich in highvalue natural molecules. After extracting sugar from the juice, the recovering of various compounds such as organic acids contained in molasses could contribute to increase the competivity of the sugar industry. Therefore, according to the biorefinery approach, we propose to study the chemical conversion of one of these acids, the aconitic acid, by esterification reactions. A new series of aconitate esters have been synthesized by combining aconitic acid and alcohols from natural origin. The effects of experimental conditions have been investigated and have shown that the type of catalysis has a significant effect on the selectivity. Kinectics have thus been performed to determine the best conditions to synthetize enriched compositions in esters. Homogeneous catalysis generates the highest yield in triester. Heterogeneous catalysis(macroporous resins) is prefered for the production of monoesters while catalysis assisted by ionic liquid is adapted to prepare mainly diesters. Green indicators have been discussed according to the calculations performed. The resulting polyfunctional esters are totally biosourced molecules and have a great potential as bioproducts for different applications.

The FBI today released its file on the late Apple founder Steve Jobs which includes comments from former friends and associates, including one source who describes him as "a deceptive individual who is not completely forthright and honest."
The FBI was doing a background investigation of Jobs in 1991 when President George H. W. Bush was considering his possible appointment to the U.S. Export Council. In the end, the appointment was never made. Dozens of associates of Jobs were interviewed during the investigation.
"Several individuals questioned Mr. Jobs's honesty stating that Mr. Jobs will twist the truth and distort reality in order to achieve his goals," according to the FBI file.
The Wall Street Journal obtained the file under a Freedom of Information Act request. The USA Today report includes a link the the entire file.

Claire Danes' spokesman confirmed the news, but released no further details about the pregnancy.
However, Homeland fans need not worry too much, as it's been reported that the pregnancy won't impact on the filming of the second season. Phew.
Claire, 33, recently revealed that she was thinking about having a family with Hugh, 37.
She said: "There's definitely a chance, no plans yet, though. But yeah, that'd be fun.'
Claire's pregnancy won't impact on the filming of season two of Homeland. Copyright [WENN]She went on to reveal that she's very happy with her three year marriage to Hugh Dancy.
The actress said: "My mom Carla taught me that a long marriage can work. My parents have been together since they were 18 so I am privileged to have them as role models.
'I like marriage. I feel very secure. It helps when you are in love with the person you are married to.
'I do sometimes look at him and think, 'You are really handsome.' He keeps me sane and happy."
Aw. We're so pleased the happy couple are adding to their family.

A method of molding a hollow fan blade in which a preform (preferably constructed of glass fibers) is used to support the upper multiple layers of to-be-impregnated cloth within a mold. As resin is injected into the mold, the cloth and the preform become impregnated thereby bonding the two together to form a single unit during the molding operation.
1. A method of manufacturing a hollow fan blade comprising the steps of:
a. laying glass fiber cloths within a lower portion of a mold;
b. placing a flexible inflatable bag on said cloths within said mold;
c. inserting a semi rigid preform conforming to the shape of one side of the blade on top of said flexible bag, said preform being temporarily held together by a suitable resin binder;
d. covering said preform with said cloths or additional cloths;
e. closing said mold and inflating said flexible bag;
f. injecting resin into said mold around said flexible bag thereby both impregnating said cloths and said preform and replacing said resin binder in said preform thereby bonding said cloths and said preform together into a single unit; and,
g. curing the fan blade, deflating said flexible bag, and removing the fan blade from said mold.
2. The method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising the step of assembling said preform of glass fibers that are held together by said temporary resin binder which dissolves upon the bonding of said cloths and said preform.
3. The method as set forth in claim 2 wherein said preform is constructed of chopped or continuous strand glass fibers.
4. The method as set forth in claim 2 wherein said preform is constructed of a glass fiber mat.
5. The method as set forth in claim 2 wherein said fan blade is of hollow one-piece construction comprising both a neck portion and an air foil portion.
6. A method of constructing hollow fan blades comprising the steps of:
a. supporting glass fiber material within a mold upon a temporary preform; and,
b. injecting said preform and said material with resin, said resin replacing the binder resin of said preform, thereby bonding said preform and said material together to form said fan blade.
7. The method as set forth in claim 6 further comprising the steps of assembling said preform of glass fibers that are held together by a temporary resin binder which dissolves during construction of said blade.
8. The method as set forth in claim 7 wherein said preform is constructed of chopped or continuous strand glass fibers.
9. The method as set forth in claim 7 wherein said preform is constructed of a glass fiber mat.
10. The method as set forth in claim 7 wherein said fan blade is of hollow one piece construction comprising both a neck portion and an air foil portion.
This invention pertains to a method of manufacturing glass fiber reinforced fan blades and more particularly to the use of a preform for manufacturing hollow, one-piece fan blades.
The art of manufacturing fan blades is quite varied. The method used depends on whether the finished fan blade is to be hollow or solid, and whether it is to be one piece or of multiple pieces secured together. The method used also depends on the desired air-foil shape with simple shapes being suitable for pressing while more complex shapes require molding or laying-up techniques. This invention pertains to the construction of hollow, one-piece, glass fiber fan blades of a rather complex configuration such that resin transfer or injection molding is the method of choice. No internal spars or fillers are necessary to provide additional bending strength during operation. This hollow, light construction also produces a blade that is safer to operate as compared to blades with molded-in spars.
In the past, such hollow fan blades were made in two pieces, the first comprising the air foil shape while the second comprised the blade holder that attached the air foil to the rotating shaft or hub. In some cases (U.S. Pat. No. 4,345,877 to R. C. Monroe) the air foil and the blade holder were made of different material. In other cases (U.S. Pat. No. 4,720,244 to Kluppel et al.) the pieces were made of similar material that were then bonded or riveted together.
In the latter, the blade is formed by wrapping multiple glass impregnated cloth layers around a flexible bag within a mold, inflating the bag, and then forcing resin into the mold so as to impregnate the cloths. Afterwards, the fan blade is cured and the flexible bag is removed. In an attempt to more evenly distribute the resin (so as to avoid resin build-up or resin-rich areas which are likely to crack) and to avoid wrinkles, "spreaders" or rigid forms were installed inside the flexible bag and expanded therein to further support the resin impregnated cloths. This spreader was used inside both the blade holder or attachment end as well as inside the air foil end during molding. The insertion and later removal of the spreaders before joining the blade and holder is labor intensive and limits the minimum size and shape of the neck portion of the fan blade. The spreader greatly increased the quality of the product but necessitated making a blade in two pieces since they had to be removed from the interior of each of the parts.
The typical method of making hollow, one-piece fan blades involves using crude cardboard shapes inside the pressurized flexible bags. This, of course, results in a fan blade of non-uniform wall thickness. Additionally, the cardboard shapes produce a fan blade that is full of wrinkles and also of cracked resin-rich areas because of the shifting of the glass fiber cloth within the mold as resin is injected through the neck region. In most normal cases, the cardboard is unable to precisely hold and locate the cloth layers before resin injection.
It is thus an object of this invention to overcome these deficiencies and to provide a method of manufacturing a hollow, one-piece fan blade that is less labor intensive, is stronger, more aesthetically pleasing to the eye and results in fewer rejects than the methods previously used to construct such fan blades. Another object of this invention is to provide a method that specifically reduces the occurrence of resin-rich areas while also providing support and precise placement and retention of the glass fiber cloths so as to reduce their wrinkling or shifting when the resin is forced into the mold. These and other objects of this invention will become obvious upon further investigation.
A method of manufacturing a hollow fan blade is disclosed comprising the steps of laying glass fiber cloths or other fabric styles in a lower portion of a mold, placing a flexible bag on these cloths within the mold, installing a preform on top of this flexible bag, covering this preform with additional glass fiber cloths, closing the mold, inflating the flexible bag, and injecting resin into the mold around the flexible bag to impregnate both the cloths and the preform thereby bonding the two together into a single unit during molding and curing operations.
FIG. 1 is a pictorial view partially broken away of the finished fan blade.
FIG. 2 is a pictorial view of the preform.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along lines 3--3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along lines 4--4 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along lines 5--5 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 6 is a pictorial view of the lay-up operation.
FIG. 7 is a pictorial view of the mold enclosing the preform and flexible bag.
FIG. 8 is a pictorial view of the mold during the curing operation.
Referring initially to FIG. 1, there is shown hollow fan blade 10 having a neck portion 12 and an air foil portion 14. Neck portion 12 is configured with collar 16 for connecting with a rotating shaft or hub (not shown). Air foil portion 14 is configured as needed for the operating conditions, but in any event, its hollow construction is of multi-layered resin impregnated glass fiber cloths. No metallic internal spar is needed to supply adequate strength for safe operation.
Preform 18, as shown in FIG. 2, is used in the construction of fan blade 10, in fact, preform 18 is designed to eventually become a part of fan blade 10. The curvature of preform 18 can vary as needed with typical curvatures illustrated in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5. As can be surmised, preform 18 is designed only to support the upper layers of glass fiber cloths in a mold until they are saturated with resin and cured. The lower layers of the cloths will be supported by the bottom half of the mold. Consequently, the entire shape of fan blade 10 need not be supported by preform 18, only the upper half of it.
Preform 18 is itself preferably constructed of chopped or continuous strand glass fibers which have been shaped as needed by being blown or a glass fiber mat laid onto a mandrel of the desired curvature. After the required thickness has been achieved, the chopped glass fibers are held together by impregnating them with a light resin binder with this mixture then being oven cured to create the desired semi-rigid preform 18. The light binder resin used to hold preform 18 together is compatible with the resin used during the molding of fan blade 10. After preform 18 is cured, it is stripped off its mandrel and used to support the upper layers of the glass fiber cloths in a mold for constructing fan blade 10. Thus, preform 18 is constructed to conform to the finished blade shape for precise cloth placement.
Referring now to FIGS. 6-8, the steps required to mold fan blade 10 are shown. Initially, the bottom half 20 of mold 22 is laid with varying layers of glass fiber cloths 24 or some other type of cloth. On top of this, flexible bag 26 is placed which will be pressurized once mold 22 is closed. While flexible bag 26 is still deflated, however, preform 18 is positioned on top of it so as to support the upper layers of cloths 24 which will be folded around it and/or placed on top of it. Because preform 18 is able to maintain and precisely position the dry laid-up cloths 24 within mold 22, the possibility of wrinkles and/or resin-rich areas within mold 22 are greatly reduced, if not completely eliminated.
After mold 22 is closed and clamped by installing upper half 28 of mold 22, flexible bag 26 is inflated through neck portion 12 and subsequently sealed thereby also restraining dry cloths 24 in place within mold 22. Upon proper inflation, resin is pumped or injected into mold 22 via neck portion 12 to saturate both preform 18 and the cloth layers 24 thereby binding the two together. Heat is then applied to cure this mixture afterwhich flexible bag 26 is removed after mold 22 is opened to release newly formed fan blade 10.
The use of preform 18 enables cloths 24 to be maintained at their optimum position upon the closing of mold 22. Additionally, preform 18 can be formed into any continuous shape, straight or tapered, and can easily accommodate a tapered attachment end (neck portion 12) that normally terminates into a cylindrical clamping area for suitable mounting. With the disclosed resin transfer method or resin injection method of molding, a more aerodynamically efficient, stronger and aesthetically pleasing one-piece fan blade can be manufactured.

Hooker Ian Henderson and the Warriors have today reached a mutual agreement to release him from the last year of his NRL contract to take up an offer to return to the Super League for the next three years.
Henderson (27), who has played 73 NRL matches, was off contract at the end of 2011 the NRL season.
"Ian was keen to secure his long-term future but we weren't able to extend his contract beyond 2011 at this stage," said Warriors chief executive Wayne Scurrah.
"A number of opportunities have since arisen and, while Ian was reluctant to leave the Vodafone Warriors, he has requested a release to return to the Super League to take up a three-year contract with French club Les Catalans.
"On the basis of the long-term security the contract provides, we have agreed to support Ian's request."
Henderson has made 65 appearances for the Warriors since joining the club from the Bradford Bulls for the 2008 NRL season.
Henderson said his future was critical in making his decision.
"It's disappointing to be leaving, because I love this place, but I wanted a long-term contract and Les Catalans are able to offer me that security," he said.
"I'll always have great memories of playing for the Vodafone Warriors and living in Auckland. It's been a great experience and it gave me the chance to really break into the NRL.
"It's not over yet, though. I want to do everything I can to give us the best possible finish to the year."
Warriors head coach Ivan Cleary said Henderson had provided real value to the squad.
"He's a durable and aggressive player who has given us a real edge in the middle of the park," he said.
"He had only a limited taste of NRL football before heading to Bradford but his three years with us have reinforced what we thought of him when we signed him.
"He still has a lot more to offer us before the season ends and I know he wants to give us as much as he possibly can."
During his Warriors career, Henderson also joined his brothers Kevin and Andy in the Scotland team at the 2008 Rugby League World Cup.

America's Bully was at it again this past week.
Rush Limbaugh was picking on women.
Specifically, women who don't want their employers, or politicians, telling them what they can do with their bodies.
It's not hard to believe that the Bully has been married four times, three of those marriages ending in divorce.
However, it's more difficult to believe that four women would actually marry him.
Guess in some cases there's something to be said for the Stockholm Syndrome.
It certainly works on the Republican Party —– especially the GOP presidential candidates. After all, Limbaugh is their master's voice.
Not one of the four stooges had the spine to speak out against his latest tirade, in which he went berserko grande over the contraception issue. The Bully specifically targeted one Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University student who spoke before a Congressional panel about the importance of contraceptives as it pertains to the overall health of women.
Well, Rush wasn't going to take that lying down. It made his blood boil so much he had to pop a few more oxycontins and wash it down with some Yoo-Hoo.
This whale, this Moby Dickhead, opened his blowhole and out spurted this: He refered to Fluke as a "slut," in essence saying she's a prostitute because she is getting paid to have sex.
He further stepped in his own mess he created by saying if women want to practice having sex by using contraceptives, we (apparently his band of merry dirty old men) want to see video of it.
Wait, there's more: The Bully said to prevent the use of contraceptives, he'd even provide the women with aspirin. You know, to put between their ankles.
And the jellyfish who represent the GOP presidential race punted.
Rick Santorum just brushed it off by saying that Limbaugh is an entertainer and "an entertainer can be absurd." If anyone knows absurd, it's Rick Santorum. Just ask the voters of Pennsylvania who voted him out of office in large numbers. There soon may come a day when you will be able to Google the word absurd, and a photo of a weasel in a sweater-vest will pop up.
Mitt Romney wussed-out by saying he probably would've used a different word to describe Fluke's circumstance. What good would that have done? He would've changed the word 25 minutes later after being scolded by Limbaugh himself and re-programmed by Fox News.
And Newt Gingrich said … oh, who gives a fig what Newton says anymore.
All said and done, the Bully actually apologized in writing to Fluke on Saturday.
The Bully had a change of heart? Why the retraction?
Could it be pressure from the Republican Party?
The wife threatening to get off the pill?
Loss of sponsorship?
Quite possibly, as of Sunday a seventh sponsor defected from the Bully's pulpit.
A major league lawsuit?
Bingo! It's only a matter of time before celebrity lawyer Gloria All-dred takes on Fluke's case.
More than anything, the Bully likes his money. And he can never have enough.
It would take more than sponsors leaving his radio show to silence the Bully.
There are millions of followers who wait with baited breath on his every word.
They made him a very rich man.
As if each devotee personally gave him money to pocket to buy jet planes and land in Florida.

FIELDS where genetically modified cotton plants spring up as weeds in other crops could provide refuge for the cotton boll weevil, warn entomologists in South Carolina. That could mean the return of this major pest to parts of the American cotton belt from which it has been eradicated.
The state spent $1.3 million eradicating the weevil, only finishing the job in 1995. Now growers are afraid the pest could make a comeback if farmers ignore GM cotton "weeds" growing among their other crops.
Researchers in South Carolina first noticed the problem last year in a dozen fields of GM soybeans where GM cotton had been grown the previous year. Both the cotton and the soybeans are resistant to Roundup, the wide-ranging weedkiller made by Monsanto of St Louis, Missouri.
This means that when farmers apply Roundup to kill weeds in newly planted fields of GM soybeans, it doesn't destroy stray ...

Peripheral artery disease (PAD), often called peripheral vascular disease (or PVD), is a condition in which the arteries that carry blood to the legs or arms become narrowed or blocked. PAD affects about 1 in 20 people over the age of 50, or 10 million people in the United States. PAD can lead to poor circulation, difficulty walking, and loss of limbs.
The most common cause of PAD is the buildup of fatty plaque in the walls of the blood vessels. In some cases, PAD may be caused by blood clots that restrict blood flow.
Although some people with PAD have no symptoms, others experience symptoms such as muscle cramping, aching, pain, and numbness. The most common symptom of PAD is the feeling of cramping and aching in the legs or hips - especially when walking. This occurs when there's not enough blood flowing to the leg muscles during exercise. The pain typically goes away when the muscles are given a rest. If you experience symptoms of PAD, don't dismiss them as a normal part of aging. Talk to your healthcare provider.
Adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle can help you prevent the clogged arteries of PAD.

I have always ordered the same size suit and have for many years. Same size and all, these run very small! The band last for about a year (if you are a competitive swimmer in the water 3-5 times a week), but they have definitely gotten smaller from my last order. Go up a Size!
We purchased this suit last year for my daughter at the beginning of winter season and she wore it through winter and summer competition seasons and also at times to the pool with friends. It held up so well that we purchased it in the aqua again for her and in purple for her sister!
Fit great. Looks great. No complaints.
Great fit, great style, great price. Perfect for high school swim team practice.
