I used to put face primer, and really I didn't see any difference, the products didn't stay on longer, and it was an expensive well-known brand. It only put more dirt in the pores. You should better apply a moisturizer, some are specially made to prevent excessive oil secretion (because that's what removes makeup), and have some pads to remove the oil. hope I've been helpful ;)posted over 2 years ago

If you have oily skin, try wearing powder foundations. If you want to stick with liquids, go for something that's breathable and isn't too greasy (e.g. you don't want your makeup to be too thick).
I've never really noticed a practical difference between wearing face primer vs. not wearing one; it's not worth the extra hassle for everyday makeup. eyeshadow primer, though, makes a huge difference!posted over 2 years ago
Right! I already try eyeshadow base and it's wonderful!! Especially for eyeshadow that pigmented.posted over 2 years ago

maybe im just a weird one here but since i got primer i noticed a huge difference. without primer my foundations tend to get chalky or cakey. its because my skin can get kind of dry. so with a primer it evens it all out and gives a good base. i guess its different for everyone but if you got a good cheap drugstore one i think it would help!posted over 2 years ago

ASU boasts world's largest interconnected gym
PHOENIX -- Students at Arizona State University are redefining what it means to track workouts.
ASU now boasts the largest interconnected gym facility on Earth. The university's four campuses are equipped with the largest installation of Precor exercise machines that are all linked by Preva, software that helps student track numerous aspects of working out.
"We have 148 cardio machines on the Tempe campus and the other three campuses have 50 machines each, said Sun Devil Fitness Director Tamra Garstka. "The Tempe campus is the largest single location cardio-install in the world."
The partnership with the fitness equipment giant, Precor, started when ASU set out to expand the installations at their fitness centers on all campuses, said Garstka.
Precor won the bid and added the Preva app.
Preva lets students create an account on either a machine or an app. After they have an account, they can set workout goals, track distance covered and other information. The app lets students continue their workout away from the gym if they choose.
"You can create an account and put goals that you want," Garstka said. "You can set a goal of the duration that you want to go on a weekly bases, the distance, or the calories."
The app then sends students text messages or alerts on their progress. Having an account and using the app on the machines or on a phone is free.
ASU allows students and staff to compete in contests using their workout information. Garstka said that from September through November of last year, over 3,500 students had begun using the Preva app. ASU plans to continue having fitness challenges to get students excited and engaged about participating. \
"We wanted to set the standard of �Well Devils' is what you do," she said. "We want people to feel that's the environment we've created at ASU, a healthy environment.
"Sun Devils is what you are but Well Devils is what you do," she explained.
Users can opt to send data from Preva to researchers at ASU and the Mayo Clinic for use in obesity studies.

Me playing a little bit of Evil aRising


text:
Many, many years ago, when I was just a young cub living in Egypt — have I told you little'uns this here story before? a'sittin' out on the porch in this here rockin' chair, a feller does tend to reminisce a bit — my wife and I drove out past El Alamein, almost to the Libyan border, along the Mediterranean coast of Egypt. (There are, or at least were, some unbelievably pristine beaches with clear turquoise water out along that distant, rather lonely, and quite undeveloped route.)
Anyhow, the couple we were driving with were from the American South — possibly Texas, but maybe not — and, as we conversed over the long drive from Cairo, through the Delta, and along the coast, it became pretty obvious that they weren't overly fond of Egypt, Egyptians, or "A-rabs" in general. He was an oil industry worker, as I recall, and was there purely for the money. He had no interest whatever in local history or culture. But, as it happened, it was his wife who was by far the most vocal in her disdain.
And the more she went on, the more irritated I became.
Finally, she got onto the subject of Arab music, which — surprise! — she hated. And, truthfully, it is very, very different from familiar Western music. For one thing, it does little if anything with harmonies, choirs, or complex choral arrangements. As compensation, though, its melodies are often extremely involved — sometimes hardly recognizable as melodies, frankly, to an untrained or unfamiliar Western ear — and its rhythms are frequently far more complex than those of all but the most avant garde modern Western music.
I tried to explain this a bit, but to no avail. She continued to complain about "fingernails on the chalkboard," etc., etc., and to ridicule everything about Arabs and Arab culture.
It was in December, I think, and Christmas was much on our minds. In fact, she had even contrasted "that horrible A-rab wailing and screeching" with "our lovely Christmas carols."
And, suddenly, inspiration came upon me.
The angelic choir that sang to the first-century shepherds of Bethlehem to herald the birth of Christ, I told her, almost certainly didn't sound like Händel's "Hallelujah Chorus" or "Silent Night" or "Angels We Have Heard on High." If their singing made any kind of musical sense to those Palestinian peasants, it surely resembled more closely the modern singing of Umm Kulthum or Fairuz or Farid al-Atrash (or his 'ud playing), which emerges from a musical tradition that has deep roots right there in the Middle East.
"Oh," she responded, in a dull voice. "Oh. That's horrible. What a terrible thought."
I confess that I was really satisfied with myself for the rest of the day. And she stopped complaining about "the A-rabs." In fact, she was distinctly silent for quite a while.

A Wine With Spirit
Unlike decaying Christmas trees and reindeer sweaters, warming glühwein is a welcome postholiday guest
It's nearing the end of January. At this point, your new year's resolutions have probably been thrown out the window. So has the egg nog. (Definitely the egg nog.) But there is one holiday drink that you shouldn't treat like that pile of Christmas cards in the recycling bin: glühwein. A fancy German word for what we know as mulled wine, "glühwein" translates, literally, to "glow wine." Because that's what it does. After a long day of sledding, skiing or simply hauling the evergreen to the curb (next year, toss it on Jan. 1), a few sips of the warming, spicy, citrusy concoction will bring you back to life.
The key to this recipe, by bartender Thad Vogler of San Francisco's Bar Agricole, is the Kammer Kirshwasser, a delicate German cherry brandy. "It gives the drink a nice aromatic blast as the spirit evaporates in the hot solution," he says. Naturally, it holds up well to hearty traditional German fare like sausages and potato pancakes. More importantly, however, it will carry you through the season until it's time to start drinking mojitos and margaritas again.
—Kevin Sintumuang
Glühwein | Makes 24 servings
4 quarts dry red wine
16 ounces brandy
1 cup sugar
6 cinnamon sticks
12 cloves
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon mace
2 oranges
1 lemon peel
Kammer Kirschwasser (or a nice brandy or eau de vie)
Poke cloves into oranges and cut into slices. Simmer wine, brandy, sugar, spices and fruit in a pot for 20 minutes (don't let it boil). Strain solids and keep warm in a soup bane or coffee urn. Before serving, pour ½ ounce Kammer Kirschwasser into a cup, then ladle in approximately 6 ounces hot wine. Garnish with a clove-studded orange peel.
—Thad Vogler of San Francisco's Bar Agricole

Biomedical engineers work in different areas of medicine focusing on various ways that technology can be used to treat or alleviate biological or medical problems. Some look at how different substances are processed in the body and generate medicines to enhance those processes. Others focus on developing materials that will promote healing or that can replace worn or injured body parts. Some biomedical engineers specialize in electronics or mechanics that have medical applications.
A four year college degree is needed for biomedical engineering work. Many biomedical engineers have degrees in chemical or electrical engineering, but also take many of "pre-med" classes. Many get graduate degrees, and some continue on to medical school and get M.D's.
Many biomedical engineers work in research labs.

Poor Flash performance with nVidia GT 8600
Hi everybody,
this is my first post in this forum.
I'm experiencing really really poor Flash video performance with my nVidia graphic card. When I see a video on some site on internet, the video always has a jerky playback, the only site with an acceptable quality is YouTube. I think it's a driver problem, could please suggest me any "tricky" configuration?
Here's some information:
Graphic card: nVidia GT 8600
Driver version: nVidia 285.05.09 (latest at the moment I'm writing)
OS: Ubuntu 11.10
Hardware: Intel Pentium D 3.00 GHZ (dual core), 32 bit, 3 GB RAM
X Server: xorg version 11.0 with GNOME and Compiz (Ubuntu Unity Desktop)
Options in my xorg.conf file:
Option "PixmapCacheSize" "300000"
Option "OnDemandVBlankInterrupts" "True"
Script that runs on init:
nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 -a GlyphCache=1
Browser: Chromium 14.0.835.202
Flash player plugin version: Shockwave Flash 11.0r1 or 10.3r183
I also read in some forum that is useful to put these lines in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg :
OverrideGPUValidation = 1
but I don't have any mms.cfg! So I tried to create it and to put the lines above in it (I also tried one line at time), but nothing changed.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advice
Re: Poor Flash performance with nVidia GT 8600
That settings only works with web sites using flash players with adobe stage video technology.
To know if your settings has been applied, watch a video on youtube, go fullscreen and with right mouse button select video info from popup menu.
You should see "accelerated video decoding" if your card supports vdpau and "accelerated video rendering" if you're using flash version 10.x (in 11.x adobe disabled it for linux clients).
Re: Poor Flash performance with nVidia GT 8600
HI kokoko3k,
thanks for your reply. Which settings you refer to? The ones in mms.cfg file or the ones in xorg.conf?
BTW following your indications I've got these results:
Flash player plugin 11.0r1 --> software video rendering, accelerated video decoding
Flash player plugin 10.3r183 --> accelerated video rendering, accelerated video decoding
So it seems version 10.3 it's better. But this did not solve my problem.
Do you have any other suggestions?

Why hello there. This article will look at the position battles in each division. Today's topic, for the rare reader that ignores the title, is the NL East. By the way, I'm all in on non-Marlins pitchers in the NL East. Do any of those lineups look devastating? Not really. And you'll probably get a win each time they face the Marlins. Anyway, here's some of the position battles to keep an eye on in the NL East:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Collin Cowgill
You, "Hey, look at that, I'm in a crazy/stupid/gooftarded deep league and everyone in this league that I'm talking to myself about is well-versed in this fantasy baseball shizz because they are also in this crazy/stupid/gooftarded deep league yet they forgot to draft Matt Holliday. Cool!" Yeah, that's not going to happen. If you're drafting from guys in the top 100 outfielders for 2013 fantasy baseball, your league is deep and you know you're not going to get much from these guys. Potatoes to chips, most of these guys will be worth owning at some point in the season. In keepers and single league, uh, leagues, most should be owned from the jump, if 'from the jump' means what I think it does when kids say it. Now get off my lawn! Here's all of the 2013 fantasy baseball rankings. If you're joining us late, here's the top 20 outfielders, top 40 outfielders, top 60 outfielders and top 80 outfielders. Anyway, here's the top 100 outfielders for 2013 fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Now, it makes sense. That's Justin Smoak and Dustin Ackley sitting in bathtubs overlooking Mt. Rainier. "The beans acting up on you, Smoaky the Bear?" "Why do you ask, Ackalacka?" "Cause I heard bubbles coming up in your tub." "Nah, I get bubbles in my tub when I get an erection." The move to Seattle will definitely reduce injury risk for Kendrys Morales. Not because he's now assured a DH role, but because he can't hit homers as easily. Snap in an inverted W formation! Kendrys is listed as a Latin 29. If you think he's 29 years old, I have a bridge in Nova Scotia made of smoked salmon to sell you. It smells and it's greying on the edges, but it's worth a lot in retail at the butcher. "Saul, I can get my hands on a bridge made of lox, can you resell it?" That's you talking to your butcher. Kendrys took forever to come back from his limp-off homer, but finally looked to be in a groove in the 2nd half of last season (14 homers in 238 ABs). He's a possible Zombino, even though if he's really 29 that shouldn't apply. 29? Ha! And I'm fifteen with the most beautiful mustache that your deity of choice ever created! Please! His numbers at Safeco aren't nearly as bad as you might think. In 120 ABs, his line is 19/7/23/.292/1. I've seen worse. Nick Punto in any ballpark over the course of three seasons combined. That's worse. I imagine now people will look at Morales with a real puss on their faces because he's in Seattle, but, while the park and lineup aren't great, he doesn't have to worry about platooning randomly whenever the Sciosciapath feels like it. For 2013, I'm still going to predict a bounce back for Kendrys, even though I was thinking of an even bigger one before this trade. The projected stat line I'll give him is 77/26/89/.272. Anyway, here's some more offseason moves for 2013 fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Grey spent a few humorous lines on Friday's Buy/Sell article recommending outfielder Justin Ruggiano of Tampa Bay.

There was more good news for fans of overpriced, hairy-chested, rear-wheel-drive sportscars this week as TVR emerged from the wastelands and revealed a new price list.
The tumultuous days of the company appear to have been set aside as current owner, Russian millionaire Nikolai Smolensky, announced plans to restart production in the UK. And (deep breath), it'll cost ya'.
Prices for the brand new TVR Sagaris, Tuscan Convertible, Tuscan Mk II, Cerbera, Chimaera and Griffith all start at £99,600, and are built "on order to the individual specification of the customer".
That does however, include a 6.2-litre Chevy V8 putting out 426bhp and 420lb ft of torque, a limited slip diff, some air conditioning, central locking, leather, a stainless steel exhaust system and a Radio CD with USB. USB! In a TVR! It'll be fitting ABS and traction control next.
TVR will also upgrade your existing TVR - if it still works, that is - to the new 6.2-litre V8 for up to £36,000, including new dampers, a reinforced gearbox/diff/driveshaft, ECU and re-trim. They'll also source you a used TVR if you really want to pay less than £100,000.
Says TVR:" Everybody here is very busy making this the success that TVR deserves after some years of not having produced any cars."
But at what cost? We don't need to tell you what kind of company £100,000 puts you in, but at a glance, you're looking at a Porsche 911 Turbo, a Jaguar XKR-S, an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, a Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG...
Would you? Could you? Should you? We've always been big fans of TVRs here on Top Gear. A thorn in the side of the nanny state. But my, what an expensive thorn it has become...

I cannot get Hauppauge HVR-1600 to detected QAM in MediaCenter? I know the card is QAM capable Chipset on card is 74041LF I try reloading Vista and installing 2008 TV Pack with other patchs. I even try it without the 2008 pack and just the media center QAM plug-in still doesn't work I know I can recieve QAM because used other tuner in machine and it pickup channels no problem. Anyone out there had this problem, that can shed some light?

Re: Can't get Hauppauge HVR-1600 to get QAM MediaCenter?
Did you apply the install of the driver?
Using device manager doesn't work you need to use the Wintv installer not installing wintv but only driver set and getting the complete succesful message at the end with a pc restart needed.
Make sure your QAM section of the tuner is connected with a signal that carries the channels desired by MCE.
Also make sure playready and the hotfixes are installed too with TVpack.
Also make sure to have the latest chipset and display drivers also installed.
Been running what i need for ever with my tuner and MCE with tvpack 2008 for months now no issues at all.
Also make sure you have windows firewall turned off when aquiring guide data and setup info so i can get region settings for tuner or it will not work right.
Usually their are 2 posts on Hauppauge cards with NTSC and ATSC signals so use ATSC as default first to force the signal and than connect other NTSC and rerun setup again to pick up other tuner.
Good luck
Your Bigman.
Re: Can't get Hauppauge HVR-1600 to get QAM MediaCenter?
I gave up on that Hauppauge HVR-1600 try everything still no QAM believe the the tuner just didn't support the way comcast signals QAM channels, won't pickup channels in Wintv etheir sid the QAM scan nothing. because I notice on the new tuner just got, all channels are map on the high band 100-880 range.
Pickup up the PCI Pinnacle 800i version today at bestbuy, due to couldn't get the hauppauge 1600 to pickup any Clear QAM channel, even when the box say it clearly supports QAM. Reflash firmware on the pinnnacle tuner and now pickup every single QAM channel including Discovery and Tru-tv and so forth only channel I don't get is HBO, but I can get that tru my DVR. "I got to say that the best tuner I ever bought beat out my ATI 650 that is now dead reason why it got it replaced" And the HD channel look better then that ATI 650 for $84 is better then that $109 dollar 1600 that didn't pickup jack, even with wintv.
Re: Can't get Hauppauge HVR-1600 to get QAM MediaCenter?
I just ate an ear full of wax.
Good that you got the content to work shaw.
Hauppauge should of worked.
There is something missing from the setup than.
I would search the install cd for a reg patch or fix for QAM if possible.

text: The end of the Pirates of the Carribbean kind of parallels Splash Mountain now. You have the main character imperiled throughout the ride, only to have him relaxed and indulging in his victory. Also, both are singing the main theme song to the ride and are stretched out in relaxed positions. I don't know, I guess that's the first thing I thought of when I saw Jack Sparrow and now I can't seem to get the Brer Rabbit connection out of my head. It's interesting that both rides are also flumes with drops. There's nothing special about it or anything, it's just kind of interesting how much the new ride's Jack Sparrow parallel's Brer Rabbit. Tony Baxter's storyline touches maybe?

10.6.8 brings more TRIM support, graphics improvements
updated 06:10 pm EDT, Mon June 27, 2011
More than 40 percent faster graphics in some tests
The release of OS X 10.6.8 has brought improvements to both gamers and those using Apple-approved models of solid-state drives (SSD), MacRumors reports. Apart from some model-specific builds of 10.6.6 and 10.6.7, OS X has generally lacked TRIM support, but as of 10.6.8 TRIM now appears to be available in all Macs capable of running it, and will also be included in Lion. The update has also brought significant graphics improvements, according to testers on Steam and other forums.
TRIM is a technology for SSD drives that enables garbage collection and write optimization, basically keeping the drive's performance at a steady level rather than allowing it to deteriorate over time. Apple's TRIM support is thus far limited to the brands of drives Apple ships or makes available as an option with models such as the MacBook Air, but unofficial TRIM support for other brands has existed since the release of Snow Leopard, but was turned off by default except on certain special builds of 10.6.6 and 10.6.7 for the MBA and other machines that were custom-built with SSDs.
Some third-party SSD resellers (such as Other World Computing) have turned to other technologies such as over-provisioning to enable TRIM-like performance sustainability on their drives, and there are other third-party programs that claim to turn on the unofficial SSD support in Snow Leopard, though some users have reported problems with these. TRIM is widely supported in Windows 7 for most major brands of SSDs.
In addition to wider TRIM support, gamers and other graphic system testers have reported that 10.6.8 has boosted graphics performance, particularly for OpenGL and user interface graphics. Testing done by MacRumors shows a significant jump in OpenGL speeds, often improving the speeds of games such as Halo (showed a 37 percent improvement). Other OpenGL tests showed around a 40 percent improvement. [via MacRumors]

Lagos — The Nigeria Labour Congress(NLC) has implored the federal government to implement the 33.3 percent increase in pension for ex-workers.
President of the Congress, Comrade Abdul Waheed Omar, who made the plea weekend at the opening ceremony of the 2014 Rain School organized by the NLC in Uyo, Akwa Ibom, said the development was necessary to allow the former workers benefit from the new pension bill that was signed into law recently by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Commending President Goodluck for signing the pension bill into law, Omar said the coming of the law is also a warning to fraudsters who may tamper with pension fund as it has provision to punish such thieves.
He said, "Congress commends the federal government for the enactment of the Pension Act 2014 which is meant to strengthen the efficiency of pension administration in the country. The Pension Reform Act of 2014 was enacted to address the inefficiency of the Pension Reform Act 2014."
Omar added that, "Congress noticed with some satisfaction pension administration since the enactment of the Pension Reform Act, 2004, even though, there are some deficiencies like non-implementation of the 33.3percent increase in pension payment approved by stakeholders."
He also explained that the government can tackle insecurity and unemployment by providing the enabling social conditions that would alleviate poverty and create employment opportunities that would narrow the inequality gap between the rich and the poor.

Pay a Visit to the Museum
Visiting the local museum, you can view different applied arts exhibitions.
I viewed the Autumn Scherzo arrts exhibition on the second floor.
It represents several amateur artists of Rubizhne - ladies whose hobby is embroidering. They perfect themselves in creating embroidery masterpieces: cross-stitched canvases - replicas of famous Russian artists' paintings or individual projects of the local amateur artists. Their canvases are full of shades and produce an impression of real painted pictures.
You can take a look at my travelogue about the museum

Memory of the Past War
The local museum occupies the old building of the former kindergarten (I am sorry they had to give up the kids' building) in Kirov Street located opposite the common grave of the Soviet soldiers who fell in the battles for liberation of Rubizhne in 1943.
The museum presents a Victory exhibition in the war hall. The exhibition has a lot of authentic exhibits, photographs, letters dating back to 1941-1945 along with some furniture pieces of that time.
A lot of school students are taken for a field tour to the museum and are shown this exhibition whose motto is the same good Soviet war motto, Nobody is forgotten, nothing is forgotten!
As for me, I enjoyed viewing the embroidery masterpieces and the ethnographic hall at the museum.

There is one constant exhibition devoted to the Great Patriotic war of 1941-1945.

More Mosaic
This mosaic is called Victory Day (by me). :-)
The Victory Day mosaic adorns the back wall of the building of the former Komsomolets movie theater and represents the celebration and the joy of Victory Day.
It's pleasant to sit on a bench in the adjoining park and to admire that unusual mosaic on the back wall of the movie theater.
It is really unique, like nothing else I have seen in the towns and cities of Luhansk region and outside it.
You can merely stand in front of this mosaic, look at it and ponder about its meaning.

Stroll in the Central Park
The Central Park is located behind the former movie theater (Mendeleyev Street) around the war memorial in Labor Square.
There are several benches where people, mostly the tenants of the nearby apartment houses, like to sit.
The kids enjoy playing at the playground located here in the park.
You can also sit at a bench opposite the Victory Mosaic and contemplate observing that unique mosaic.

Eternal Flame
This is where you could see the Eternal Flame in the city.
There is no flame here any more since the authorities have started to value gas like never before.
The Eternal Flame is located in Kirov Street at the mass grave of the soldiers and officers who fell in the battle for liberation of the city in January 1943.
The bronze figure of the mourning officer with a burial wreath in his hand is a symbol of people's mourning and a reminder of the tragedy of the last world war.
The mass grave is in front of this monument.
There are memorial plaques with the names of the fallen soldiers and officers.
The inscription on the black memorial plaque at the monument reads,
Eternal glory to those who perished in the battles for the liberation of Rubizhne

A Downtown War Memorial
These are pictures of the central war memorial located in Labor Square in the park behind the former Komsomolets movie theater.
The war memorial can be very well seen from Bohdan Khmelnitsky Street and Kirov Street when you leave the city park and approach Khmelnitsky Street.
The war memorial in Labor Square is dedicated to those soldiers and officers who did not come back from the fronts of the last world war.
Also, you can see a memorial plaque to the Heroes of the Soviet Union at the foot of the obelisk.
There are plaques with the names of all city residents who fell at the fronts of the last world war.
The white bas relief at the foot of the obelisk symbolizes the unity of three generations of the Motherland defenders: sons, fathers and grandfathers.
The inscription below the bas relief reads,
To the residents of Rubizhne
who fell in the battles
for the liberation and independence
of their Motherland in 1941-1945
Seven city residents were awarded with the honorary title of the Hero of the Soviet Union:
Nickolay Boyko, senior lieutenant;
Vassily Danko, senior sergeant;
Fyodor Dachko, senior lieutenant;
Vadim Doichev, senior lieutenant;
Mikhail Mikhailichenko, colonel;
Nickolay Rudenko, senior batallion commissar;
Stepan Shvets, major.
All of these heroic officers had also the rank of "Guards" preceding their army rank, which sounded like "Guards senior lieutenant".
You can see memorial plaque all around the foot of the war memorial. The plaque contain the names of the city residents who fll in battles for the liberation of their Motherland during the Grat Patriotic War of 1941-1945.
I must say the star on the top of the obelisk looks very extraordinary and awkward. Unlike all other ordinary five-point stars this one seems to stand on its two points as though they were legs and the distance between those lower points is much shorter than usual.

The Ukrainian Flag
Labor Square is where different rallies were held in the Soviet era.
Now they are all held in the new central square - Lenin Square located in front of the City Council building.
There were two words masde of huge iron Russian letters on both sides of the flag pole located in the middle of Labor Square: SLAVA TRUDU ("Glory to labor!").
Those iron letters were removed after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. They were considered too dangerous for passersby for the letters became too rusty and the wind began to move them…
Labor Square is the biggest asphalted square in the city.
Another one, Lenin Square, is paved. It is located between the City Council building and the Leisure Center.
You can see several five-storey apartment houses on two sides of Labor Square.
There are stores on the first floor of those apartment houses.
The flag pole in the middle of Labor Square has a Ukrainian flag.

Visiting Labor Square
Labor Square adjoining Khmelnitsky Street and the City Park is one of the oldest squares of the city.
It dates back to the thirties of the last century.
This is where different rallies were held in the Soviet era.
Some of the City Day celebrations in September also take place in this square today.
There is a park in the middle of the square where you can see Heroes Obelisk - the war memorial dedicated to all residents of Rubizhne who did not come back from the war.
You can see the telephone exchange, several stores, a cafe and a war memorial in that square - Heroes Obelisk.

Stand and Ponder
Like in many other towns and cities of Ukraine, there is a Chernobyl memorial in Rubizhne.
It commemorates the victims of the 1986 nuclear plant catastrophe - both residents and those who took part in liquidation of the consequences of the disaster. Those "liquidators", as they are called here, were sent to Chenobyl area from all over Ukraine.
The memorial is in the park lane in 30 Years of Victory Street, on your way from the city council to the cathedral.
The inscription on the black plaque reads,
To the victims of Chernobyl catastrophe -
to the fallen, to the living and to the non-born.

Lenin Monument
This is the place that I used to pass on my way to the library or when shopping.
It is in Lenin Park.
Lenin Park is in the middle of Lenin Street opposite School #6 and Galaxy store and School No.6.
This Lenin monument has no twins in other towns and cities, but has a unique design.
Lenin is depicted with what would be a leather case that he is holding in his left hand. He must be entering a conference room as a great orator ready to fight any contrary opinions or persons...
There are always flowers at the foot of the monument, which represents the residents' longing for the Soviet era with all its reliability and visible order (and terrible invisible disorder, too)…
I must say that during my last stay in Rubizhne I saw funeral wreaths at the foot of this monument, which looked very rigid, as it were. Usually such funeral wreaths are only present at the cemetery... Their presence at the foot of the monument testifies to the fact that people are in deep mourning to a very close person or a relative...
This bronze monument, although hollow inside, looks very special and not "factory stamped" or "cut and dried" like dozens of others that still stand proudly in different towns and cities I have visited...

Bathing in the Lake
Ozero Pesochnoye (in Russian) - Sandy Lake - is located on the city outskirts not far from where Kharkiv Street ends.
This lake has long been the favorite bathing destination for lots of city residents.
It is included into the list of ecologically safe lakes of Luhansk region.
Although I must say the beach sand is not pure at all. There are always cigarette butts there, but don't let that deter you.
The beach has a volleyball net for beach volleyball, two beer tents where you can combine beer drinking and people watching and a water bike hiring station.
People never call the lake itself by its official name. They use the informal name and say simply Vodnaya, which means Water Station.
The only problem is that there are no direct buses to this place. You always have to hire a cab ($3) from downtown and back.

Holy Assumption Cathedral
This is a new cathedral completed recently and located in Lenin Street on the northern outskirts of the city.
Holy Assumption Cathedral is located at 42 Lenin Street in Rubizhne.
Father Eugenius (Meletich) is the cathedral dean.
Tel. +038 06453 7 83 12
The cathedral was built with white bricks manufactured by the local brick factory, which makes it different from many other new churches built with yellow bricks.
It is located next to the new supermarket called Absolute.
The cathedral has a big courtyard and to the right of the entrance there is the building of the former temporary church of the city.

Bas-reliefs at Cannon of Rubizhne
There are several bas-reliefs at Cannon of Rubizhne in Liberators' Street.
They represent different war periods of history starting with the Civil War of 1918-1920 and ending with liberation of the city from Nazi invaders in 1943..

Cannon of Rubizhne
There are several memorial plaques at Liberators' memorial in Liberators' Street.
I call this memorial Cannon of Rubizhne.
You can see four bas reliefs representing different war period of history starting with the Civil War of 1918-1920.
There are three memorial plaques here.
They read,
The residents of Rubizhne –
to Liberators
On December 21, 1919
the Red Army units liberated the station of Rubizhne
from the White Guards
On January 31, 1943
the Soviet Army units liberated the town of Rubizhne
from the German fascist invaders

Poll: Comic Book Question of the Week VOTING: Favorite Current Big Event (447 votes)
Big events have definitely been hit or miss over the years, but we're fortunate enough to have four with a whole lot of promise taking place right now. Marvel is keeping their big players busy, that's for sure. While the Avengers are handling dire cosmic matters that'll lead to "Inhuman," the X-Men are encountering their own set of massive problems with time travel. Meanwhile, DC is fully immersed in Villains Month, giving the bad dudes and dudettes time to shine and revealing who will stand with the Crime Syndicate and who will fight against them. Things aren't any brighter over in the TMNT world, either. Leonardo has seemingly become Shredder's right hand man and a massive gang war is about to break out in the Big Apple.
Four totally different stories, but which one are you digging the most and why?
Voting remains open until Thursday morning (ET). Shortly afterwards, a new feature with the poll results and more will hit the homepage, so be sure to check back then!

Situation and conditions
Captain America, Gambit, Cyclops and Hawkeye converse one day and they each debate on who's a better fighter. Cyclops claims that he, Gambit and Hawkeye can beat Captain America in a hand to hand combat fight. Captain America challenges them as the soldier he is and they deal it out in the testing room. This is at the training room where everyone is equipped with dojo clothing and no one can use their superpowers. Everyone will then fight.
- No preparation.
- All opponents are "morals on" but still are going at their best.
- Fight to K.O until the other team is unconscious or close-to-death if it must get ugly.
- Regular Cyclops without the Phoenix Force.
Round 2
Rorscharch and Green Arrow to team 2 are added with the same rules. This round will be a fight to the death.

I stopped believing for a minute this morning. Journey is going to be so pissed.
Random facts about me... -I'm not that spontaneous..it's something I'm working on -I usually prefer mustard on fries -I hate to wash my hands but don't mind hand sanitizer. I am convinced this is why I don't get sick that often even if its not remotely true. -I have a weird irritation with Michael Jackson -Im a little too fast at texting for it to be healthy -I dont like people who dont read the book but love the movie -I have a very small inner circle, but if youre in, Im very loyal -If I lived another life I would be covered in tattoes and piercings -I love to collect those squished pennies...if you dont know what they are Ill explain it to you

I have Cats, Dogs
I have 1 dog (Coco aka 'coco puff') who I love. Hes kind of stupid but funny and sweet as hell. Also have 1 cat (Spanky aka 'spanky pants'). He is adopted and kind of inherited the name Spanky....I went with it.
I like going to dinner anywhere that feels comfy, but going out to a nice place is good every now and then. I dont like anywhere you are forced to drink wine instead of beer. Comfy couch and fun go cart racing...? Either one really.
Texas A&M University, College Station, TX
Im a steak, potato, and beer girl, but that doesnt always fit with trying to be healthy. I LOVE thunderstorms from inside but will freak out if I have to drive in bad weather. I like to look nice, but I feel much cooler if I look good at half off :)
I like going out and having fun just as much as sitting and watching a movie. I love sitting in comfy pj's and getting dressed up. I love feeling sore from working out but often dread actually doing it.
Lately Ive been trying to learn how to be 'crafty'...also cooking. Not guaranteeing anything but Im trying...

YIELD: Makes 18 to 20 cupcakes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line 2 muffin tins with cupcake papers.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, egg, and one third cup of sugar on the medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chocolate chips and set aside.
In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the flour, the remaining cup of sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Mix the wet and dry ingredients until just blended.
Fill each muffin cup one-third full with the cocoa batter, then top with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture until the paper is about two-thirds full. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched. Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Remove from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
