Strasbourg Travel guide
Strasbourg : Michelin's recommendations
One of two European "capitals", Strasbourg is the seat of the European Parliament and the Council of Europe, yet manages to retain its human scale around its Gothic cathedral and old Petite France quarter. A trendsetting place since the Middle Ages, it protects its heritage and the environment with tramways and cycle paths. At the heart of Alsace, Strasbourg offers all that the region is celebrated for: foie gras, wine, chocolates and eaux de vie.

Marion Street Cheese MarketRead More"Names like Prairie Fruits Farm, Hidden Springs Creamery and Shepherd's Way Farms sound like they belong in a Laura Ingalls Wilder novel," noted Food & Wine magazine as it took in Marion Street Cheese Market's array of artisan and farmstead cheeses. Since 2004, owner Eric Larson has vetted a staggering array of traditional farms for the market's collection of cheeses from small and independent dairies throughout Chicagoland and the world. Back at the shop, resident cheesemongers slice Cowgirl Creamery brie and Rogue River blue to order right off the wheel for optimum freshness. These join chorizo and heritage prosciutto on charcuterie platters, or headline dishes in Marion Street's Bistro, a 2013 Michelin Bib Gourmand award winner.

The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but it's the dinner menu that really draws the crowds.1107 South BlvdOak Park, IL US
Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity TempleRead More"You know, Unity Temple is my contribution to modern architecture"—bold, blunt, and revolutionary, Frank Lloyd Wright single-handedly forged the Prairie school of architecture, of which Unity Temple is perhaps the purest example. Built between 1905 and 1908, the church broke all of the traditional rules, replacing the steeple with low, flat roofs, removing the prominent entranceway to create a sense of monolithic austerity, and most daringly of all, using poured concrete as not just a structural element but an architectural one. This honest exposure of a conventionally hidden material reflected the philosophy of a man who valued genuine candor over sweetened niceties, whether in word or in stone. More than a century since its construction, the church is in the midst of an ongoing restoration, funded by member sponsorship and daily admission fees. Although the interior still luxuriates in the wash of natural light from the stained glass ceiling, and the boxy, modern light fixtures flicker on, the exterior faces severe weathering due mainly to Wright's eternally before-his-time designs, which failed to account for the effects of water and time on concrete, and an infestation of rockbiters in the 70s.875 Lake St.Oak Park, IL US

This is a really good gel liner! I love it and it lasts all day on my waterline. It also doesn't irritate my eyes. it's creamy and it glides on smoothly The lasting power is great! Doesn't flake or smudge. I have two colors the Blackest Black and Brown and the both work the same for me. Both colors have no shimmers or glitters at all.

Oh goodness... I LOVE this stuff! I've had the most difficulties trying to find an eyeliner that wasn't gloppy and smearry... and here it is. Behold! It's seriously the greatest eyeliner ever (: and even though the tub is really small.... the product lasts for a long time. This is my HG eyeliner!

I've been using this for about four months now, so I guess it's about time I wrote a review. This has really become a staple for me. I originally bought this in "brown" and liked it for everyday, but when I wanted a black eyeliner I tried a few other brands for a change. I tried several drugstore brands and two high-priced ones, and this still reigns as my favorite. The only time it ever smudges is if I either sleep in it or directly rub it off, otherwise it stays put. Color is great for a natural look. The little pot lasts forever, I still have about half of the brown shade left after using it dozens of times. The tool it comes with is OK, but I find it tends to feel a little rough after maybe 10 applications and got weak about halfway through the pot. I do prefer to use a separate liner brush.
In short, this is great quality for under $8.
edit: I bought this liner in "blackest black", and it seems the formula for this color is different because I do get smudges much more often than with the brown color. Because of the smudging, I'm lowering the score from 4 to 5. The brown shade is worth a solid 5, but I'd give the black version a 3.

This stuff does smudge if you use it under your eyes, as well as on top lash line. I bought this because I had a coupon, but should have stuck with the L'Oreal Infallible gel laquer liner, much better brush and wearability. It's worth the extra dollar or two, by far.

Don't waste your money, this product is terrible. Colour transfers and smudges all over top of lid. Cannot understand why MUA's are raving about this product let alone naming it as a dupe for far more superior high-end gel liners. Brush it comes with can go straight in the bin, only positive thing is it's decently pigmented.

Best eyeliner gel pot ever! This eyeliner comes with a thin applicator brush making it easy to apply. The formula is so great and I prefer it over MAC Black Track gel eyeliner.

I kept eyeing down this product at work so I read some reviews on it and some of them weren't great. My mom asked me to pick it up for her so when I got home, I wanted to try it. I LOVE this gel liner. I went and bought it right after. It's so perfect and glides on so nice. The brush is great and it's so easy to apply. Also, never smudged. I just love it.

This product is kind of a so-so for me. I have the product in Brown.
The things I like:
- comes with an acceptable brush
It's not as soft as I'd like, but it's good enough. Make sure to clean it often! Once the eyeliner sets in your brush it gets quite hard to clean.
- versatile
you can use it on your eyelids, create a winged look, and even tightline with this product.
- good pigmentation
I find the eyeliner quite pigmented, and it is buildable.
The things I don't like:
- not very longlasting.
I don't use usually use primer so this might be one of the reasons. However, I find the colour fading only after 3-4 hours. it is also not smudge-resistant.
- dry off quickly.
I don't open the lid for long periods of time, but I find my pot of eyeliner drying quite quickly, which means there's going to be quite a lot of wasted products after a few months.
The verdict:
It is a decent eyeliner, good pigmentation and very good to create dramatic looks. You can also wear it as part of your daily makeup regime. However, do carry it around, since you will have to touch up quite often.

Ravell Call, Deseret News
I suggest an addendum to a recent article "78 tons and counting" (Dec. 10). The article read, "(Davis county) residents got help from the Utah National Guard and other state agencies with the cleanup Sunday in anticipation of another windstorm that night."
Nowhere in the article was there mention of the many thousands of citizens, who, after attending worship services, spent the day cleaning up the debris in their neighborhoods. Using their own trucks and trailers and other equipment, they cut up and hauled countless loads of trees and branches to the landfill.

Northeast 's Anonymous Souls Wander an Anonymous City
A bland aimlesssness characterizes both Northeast's lead character and the film itself. In Gregory Kohn's fatally underdeveloped study of twentysomething anomie, Will (David Call) flits through Brooklyn from one woman to the next while hanging out with friends who are marginally less directionless than he is. Taking up bike riding, dating an older woman, and embarking on a trip to the country fail to rouse Will from his stupor, a point that Kohn makes by cutting together close-ups of the character's face as he walks through the anonymous, smudgy city late in the film. This penchant on the director's part for blurred-background close-ups (generally taken with a handheld camera) is perfectly representative of his non-interest in any specific details, either geographical or personal. With only a pair of subway platform shots and a stroll under the BQE to identify the location, the film evinces no concern with evoking a specific place, only a rather insipidly presented mood—the geographical broadness of the title is a giveaway. More damaging, though, is its nearly complete disinterest in treating its character as anything but a blank figure on which the audience is called upon to project its own sense of alienation.

2014 Fed 100
Name: James (Jim) P. Derr
Title: Director of Aviation Services, Information Systems and Global Solutions
Company: Lockheed Martin
Improved safety and big savings. Derr oversees a program that is on track to save the Federal Aviation Administration $2 billion over 10 years. He helped consolidate 58 flight locations into five networks by automating flight briefings and moving communication tasks between specialists and pilots, along with weather updates and other information, from a telephone- and radio-based process to the Web. As a result, "specialists remain focused on providing safety briefings instead of managing phones, and pilots generally wait just seconds to talk to a specialist when they call," said Sandra Samuel, vice president of transportation solutions at Lockheed Martin.

text: I often play Ghost Quarter (I know, I suck), and I'm often annoyed that my opponent can get at least one use out of their special lands (i.e., Moorland Haunt, Vault of the Archangel, KESSIG WOLF RUN) before the system lets me destroy it. I was under the impression that I could use Ghost Quarter as an instant and immediately destroy the land the moment it enters the battlefield. Am I incorrect?

Bluefin tuna fishing campaign 2011 – Commissioner Damanaki sends a letter to EU Ministers on Libya
Statement by Commissioner Maria Damanaki:
Today, I sent a letter to all relevant EU Ministers, pointing out that the Libyan fishing and inspection plans have not been endorsed by the Compliance Committee of ICCAT, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, which is responsible for the conservation of tunas and tuna-like species in the Atlantic Ocean and its adjacent seas.
Due to the initial voluntary suspension of its fishery by the Libyan authorities, no mail vote by the Commission took place to suspend the 2011 Libyan fishing for bluefin tuna. This suspension was later on withdrawn by the Libyan authorities and a recent communication exchange between ICCAT and representatives of the Libyan authorities makes clear that the Libyan purse seine fleet intends to engage in fishing activities for bluefin tuna during the forthcoming campaign.
However, on account of the passing of the deadline for participation in the 2011 Regional Observer Programme and the potential security risks to observers, the ICCAT Executive Secretary has confirmed that no Regional Observers will be deployed on Libyan vessels.
On this basis, bluefin tuna caught by the Libyan fleet will be well on track to be deemed illegal by the ICCAT Compliance Committee, as potentially non-compliance with ICCAT conservation and management measures.
I therefore urged EU Ministers to monitor the fishing activities of these vessels, as well as the activities of their national operators with those vessels, in line with our obligations as Contracting Party to ICCAT.
In particular, obligations arising from ICCAT Recommendations and from EU law prohibit domestic trade, landing, imports, exports, placing in cages for farming, re-exports and transhipments of bluefin tuna species that are not accompanied by accurate, complete and validated documentation.
Finally, given that the Commission did not receive by the 1 March deadline information on any private trade arrangements between its nationals and any other ICCAT Contracting Party, the Commission will consider that no private trade arrangement involving EU nationals and another ICCAT Contracting party will be authorised in 2011, and thus that no EU vessel will fish in the Libyan fishing zone.
This issue -and the impact that unauthorised fishing activity and trade in 2011- could have high importance with regards to the recovery plan for bluefin tuna.
In addition, I stand ready to consider the possibility of complementary actions that could be triggered through the EU Regulation on illegal, unreported and unregulated fisheries.

Hotels that Guests Love in Gothenburg
"Modern hotel, described as a hostel but the rooms are as you'd expect from a budget chain hotel (bunk beds). Fantastic central location in the main shopping area, just behind the Radisson Blu. Friendly staff. Very cheap for Gothenburg - especially for the quality. Parking next door is discounted when booked in advance. Room for 4 people was large enough for a budget hotel."
"staff were very friendly, greeting you in passing at all times. room was compact but very clean. about a 10 minute walk from the train/bus station. the breakfast was the best in all our trip to Sweden. lots of choice in bread, juice, hot and cold meat, cheese and even a waffle maker with mixture made up along with fruit and cream. only stayed one night but would go back again as convenient and relatively cheap for Gothenburg."
"The best hotell i even visited in sweden, at this last minute the cheapest, but with great standard"
"Fantastic location with wonderful roof terrace. Gothenburg isn't cheap but this was a great hotel in all aspects."
"I loved this hostel, it's probably the nicest I've ever stayed in and the bathrooms were so incredibly clean I wanted to cry. Rooms were excellent, kitchen was excellent. I honestly cannot think of any cons, if you are going to Gothenburg, this is definitely where you want to stay. It's more of a hotel than a hostel. Just don't forget to bring your own sheets, or you can pay for a set for pretty cheap. Five stars!"

1993 Honda Civic Q&A
1993 Honda Civic Question: brake lights won't go on
replace third brake light and now all three don't go on. Check all light bulbs and replaced them, and still nothing. - mafa
Answer 1
I assume you've checked the fuses and they're not the problem. You could check for power and ground at the bulb sockets. Power should be on when the brake switch is activated and ground should be constant. Check the brake light switch on the brake pedal bracket. You could check it with a voltmeter or test light and also jump the brake light connector terminals to see if the lights go on. Check that the rest of the taillights go on when they should, they are all grounded at point 'T' at the center of the rear shelf (sedan) or the tailgate (hatchback). If the license lights, etc are OK then ground is OK, and I'd suspect that you don't have power at the brake bulbs which is most likely caused by a bad brakelight switch. - Superbob
