KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister, Syed Qaim Ali Shah on Tuesday said the present democratic government will fulfill the aspirations of the people.
He was talking to media during visit to the mausoleum of Quaid-e- Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah to pay tribute to him on the 65th Independence Day of Pakistan.
He said democratic governments and dictators had ruled the country during the last 65 years.
Forming coalition governments in the Center and provinces had been envisioned by Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, who, he said had talked to all political parties with emphasis on importance of the democratic and constitutional government.
Moreover, he said no Hindu family is leaving the Sindh province to settle in the neighbouring country. Whoever leaves, returns after meeting its relatives, he added.
He said President Asif Ali Zardari along with the leaders of political parties including Altaf Hussain, Asfandyar Wali Khan and Pir Pagaro had formed the coalition government in the Center and the provinces.
The Sindh CM said the government will fulfill the promise which had been made to the people.
Furthermore, he said Karachi is the largest city of Pakistan, where thousands of people come and return. No one would have visited the metropolis, if the situation was instable, he added.
He said all will have to work jointly to improve the situation in Karachi.
He said Pakistan Muslim League Functional (PML-F) is also part of coalition government and its present leadership is also cooperating with the government.
He said discussion is underway between the Pakistan Peoples Party and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement with regard to Local Government System and soon both the parties would reach agreement in this regard. All other political parties would also be taken into confidence, he added.
Earlier, the Sindh CM laid floral wreath and offered fateha at the grave of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Sindh Governor, Dr Ishrat-ul-Ebad Khan, Sindh Ministers, Advisors and high government officials were also present on the occasion.

6. Turnover reduction
The most common reason for turnover on a sales team is that expectations are not met. Either the salespeople quit or you let them go. In both cases, it is bad news for the revenue investment. Onboarding helps to minimize those instances, which impacts both the top and bottom lines of the company.
7. Increased candidate pool
How does onboarding increase your candidate pool? Many companies limit their sales hiring to just those with industry experience. Yet there are only so many people in your industry, and only a small subset that you would want on your team or that would want to be on your team. Onboarding empowers you to broaden your candidate scope to include strong sellers from other industries as well.
8. Recruitment tool
As you look across the desk at a candidate during an interview and wonder how this individual will get up to speed selling for your company, guess what? The candidate is wondering the same thing! Onboarding becomes a selling point in the interview as a way to attract top talent. It demonstrates corporate commitment to their success.
9. Hiring mistakes found
Sometimes you can get fooled during the interview process. After all, salespeople know how to sell themselves. Onboarding gives you the opportunity to identify concerns with new salespeople early on and take action. This is true investment protection.
These nine sales onboarding results hit both the top and bottom line of your company. What other corporate initiative on your list has the potential to make this level of impact?

A BMW enthusiast named Alexey Ogorodnikov with some serious CGI talent has produced this short, but impressive animation, featuring a 1-series hatchback and a message true auto enthusiasts can relate to.
It takes some cajones to do a complete repaint of a BMW and even more so when it's a polarizing finish such as frozen (matte) gray. But that's exactly what a 1ADDICTS member has done in painting the world's first frozen gray 1-series coupe. Professional photos to come.
Now that the 1-Series coupe and cabriolet are at the halfway mark in their lifecycle talk has been brewing up of a midcycle refresh. And just in time, here are some new pictures of the upcoming BMW 1-Series LCI in Sedona Red. In BMW speak, LCI stands for Life Cycle Impulse and denotes a "facelift" for the car. Current rumors point to a December 2010 Official Reveal for the 1-Series LCI alongside the release of the BMW 1 Series M Coupe. … CONTINUED
There is no 1-series GTS, but Parkview BMW has put together its own version. They started off with the hot Fire Orange color from the M3 GTS and complimented it with a full array of 1-series BMW Performance Parts. The GTS logos are a bit much for us, but the overall result is a hot little coupe we'd love to see BMW actually produce.
1-series owners are an addicted bunch. So much so that the car inspired Stewart Hendler and Pascal Remond to script and film this great short film / fictional commercial about the 1-series hatchback.
Tommy Milner, BMW GT2 driver, was invited by BMW Performance Parts Manager Eric Riehle to experience and discuss BMW Performance Parts on the 135i, 335i, and X6. Video inside.
AC Schnitzer has released videos of its various exhaust systems for the F10 550i, Z4 sDrive35is, X6M, 135i, 335i, M3, including comparisons to the BMW factory exhaust.
Some details have emerged about the 1-series LCI facelift which will be formally announced in December (and debuted at the 2011 NAIAS in Detroit) along with the 1M Coupe. As Scott26 has revealed, changes to the coupe and cabrio will include those seen on the ActiveE, including the new rear and front headlights with LED technology, restyled aerodynamics in the bumpers, new exterior colors, interior trims, and addition of new in-car technology. Both will debut at the NAIAS in Detroit in January 2011.
We bring you the first photos of the all-electric BMW Concept ActiveE 1-series production model. Compared to concept version, the production ActiveE receives more conventional wheels and tires, a different front bumper, a new hood with a bump, new headlight design, and "E Drive" badges. The upcoming lifecycle impulse (aka "LCI" or "facelift) changes to the 1-series coupe and cabrio are seen here with new rear and front headlight lenses with LED technology and more reprofiled aerodynamics in the bumpers. The 1-series coupe and cabrio … CONTINUED
The Berk Technology N54 based 135i Time Attack car ripped up its competition this season. Since its racing season is nearly over, the car's secrets have now been unveiled. In fact, many parts of its recipe for speed come from Bimmerpost sponsors. See the great writeup inside.
1-series enthusiasts in Germany had a meet & spectacular drive this weekend. The meet took place around Bamberg and the convey then tore through picturesque Fränkische Schweiz (Little Swiss) area. In all, 17 1-series attended the meet and cruise. A ton of photos can be found inside.
Here are the first clips we've seen of the BMW Performance Exhaust matched to a N55 motor and it sounds terrific! N55 BMWs come from the factory with a throatier exhaust than the N54 due to the absence of two mid cats. Paired with a Performance Exhaust, the N55′s growl is amplified beautifully.
1addicts member untouchableE82 now owns a truly unique 135i, a custom widebody version. It was born out of necessity for wide tires to handle his 427tq/421hp. Lucky for those looking forward to the 1M Coupe, who can now get a sense of the future 1M's similarly impressive stance.
Many feel that the spirit of the E46 M3 lives on in the 135i, so the two cars are often compared. 1addicts member PKumarM3, longtime owner of a track prepped E46 M3, recently shared why he feels the 135i not only matches but exceeds a stock E46 M3.
1-series enthusiasts gathered in Hannover, Germany over the weekend for a greet and drive. Check inside for a set of great photos of both 1-series coupes and hatchbacks.
New information released on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations website shows that BMW is recalling all 1 Series models sold in the U.S. between 2008 and 2010 for a potential fire risk. According to BMW, cars built between December 1, 2007, and May 27, 2010, may not have sufficient clearance between the seatbelt tensioners and the sound insulation in the B-pillars. Should a crash occur, the tensioners could overheat. In rare instances, the excess temperature could possibly ignite the insulation material.
The DCT dual clutch transmission and N55 engine has come to the 2011 1-series and Car and Driver takes their first drive of the 135i with this new motor and transmission configuration. Check out their initial assessment inside.
40+ 1-series cars descended upon BMW Welt in Munich very recently for a joint German, Austrian, and Swiss owners meet. Check out the meet photos inside.

Am I just meant to be alone forever?
I don't want to have you read a long story, but long story short, I am in love with someone who does not feel the same. I have done everything I can... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Yeah I have DEFINATLY had this with a girl. It's been two years an I am finally almost over her. It was not easy at all. I'd dream about her and think about her all the time. Your mind seems to play tricks on you. My situation was I never made a move and I was too afraid. I always had regrets about it but things may have been better this way. There's no easy way of letting go except time. I wish I had some good advice for you but there really is none except meeting new guys. Don't try to fight your feelings for him cause it will just make things worse, just try to stay focused and let time pass. You will get over it though, I honestly never thought I would but I am and I'm glad, to be honest it was miserable.
What Guys Said 8
stop looking at the pictures, stop reading old text, delete everything you have of him that reminds you, don't think just do it, now you can start to replace the old memories with the new, keep going out with friends, new places you have not been before, if you keep hanging around friends, it will be over soon, but keep deliberatly thinking about what ifs and anything to do with him, your going to hurt for a long time, have a rebound relationship if need be, but do what you can to keep you busy, this will help, and yes, you always end up loving someone more than before, because they love you more than they did also,x
Sadly, many people feel like this at some point, myself included.
I would guess you wrote this when you felt especially low and maybe don't feel this bad all the time, take some faith in that.
The good/bad news depending on how you look at it is that if it was a serious relationship and you loved him, a year really isn't that long. The biggest part of getting over someone is acceptance , which to be honest it sounds like you are close to doing. Accept how you feel, and accept that you can never have him back and stop dreaming of you two together. I know you can't stop thinking of him, but imagine scenarios where you tell him how you feel and he tells you ithat he doesn't feel the same. Accept that it hurts, and accept that it is normal.
It will get better I promise. It's been 2 +1/2 years since my marriage collapsed, and I'm only just starting to consider dating again seriously.
What Girls Said 1
Ive felt this way about a man for three years. I don't know how I got over him, but I did. Now I can see him and laugh at how obsessed I was! but the reality is you need to cut him off, cut any contact, particularly Facebook or anything that keeps you connected. Otherwise you will never move on. I remember feeling the same way and thinking I will never find anyone again, but I did:)

1851 Humbert Octagonal Fifty, XF401851 $50 RE Humbert Fifty Dollar, Reeded Edge, 880 Thous. XF40 NGC. CAC. K-5, Low R.5. Reeded Edge, No 50 on Reverse. The Reeded Edge Humbert fifty dollar gold coins of 1851 are rare but quite a bit more available than the Lettered Edge pieces, which actually bear their date 1851 on the edge as well. But both were considered little more than assayed ingots with fifty dollars' worth of gold; they could just as well have been rectangular assayer's ingots (which were also issued during this era) and would have served the same purpose.
880 Thous. Type, K-5
880 Thous. Type, K-5
The Humbert fifty dollar octagonal gold pieces remained in the collective consciousness of the people of California. Sixty-four years later they were imitated, although not widely publicized as such, when the Panama-Pacific fifties were struck, 645 of which were octagonal in shape and with a similar weight of 2.5 ounces. There were enough Humbert fifties that survived that collectors of the day "got it" and understood the retro size and shape of the Pan-Pac coins.
Because of the size of these pieces, and their actual use in the channels of commerce, most examples show numerous rim bumps and bruises. This piece displays myriad small marks and a few rim bumps but few singular abrasions. Close examination shows several of the marks are actually planchet voids that were present at the time of striking and did not strike out with the pressure of the coining press. The devices are outlined with deeper reddish patina and contrast against the orange-gold seen over the remainder of each side. This slightly handled "slug" retains much eye appeal and historic interest. (PCGS# 10211)

LeBron likes Jason Kidd's chances to succeed as Nets' new head coach
Jun 14, 2013, 8:45 AM EDT
SAN ANTONIO — The Nets announced the hiring of Jason Kidd as their new head coach on Wednesday, and while there are legitimate questions as to whether he can make the transition so quickly from player to coach, the reaction has been mostly positive.
Go ahead and count LeBron James among the believers.
Speaking before the Heat's Game 4 win over the Spurs, James couldn't have been happier for Kidd, and believes that his experience and his personality are well-suited to take on this new challenge.
"I think it's amazing, honestly," he said. "J-Kidd is unbelievable, one of the best teammates I ever played with — on the '08 Olympic team, he was one of the best friends I would have, on and off the floor. He's a student of the game. His basketball IQ is crazy and I think it's going to make it an easy transition for him to be a coach. It's a great thing for him."
Kidd obviously comes into the role without any prior coaching experience, having retired from the game as a player less than two weeks before securing his new position. But James pointed to another former player who entered the coaching profession under similar circumstances when talking up Kidd's chances for success.
"It's going to be a transition, but I don't know," James said. "He doesn't know. It's the first time for him, but it was the same with Mark Jackson. He had never patrolled the sideline either, but look at the great work he's done in Golden State. You play the game and you're smart, I think it can make the transition much easier for you. And he's not inheriting a bad team, he's inheriting a good team. So that makes the job easier, too."
James seemed so positive about Kidd's potential to do well in his new career choice that it was only natural to wonder if he himself might be interested in one day becoming a head coach. But being in the prime of his career, the question came as a bit of a surprise.
"Me, coach?" James asked, with a smile. "I'm 28 years old. I've got a lot of time to think about that."
- kingbeason52 - Jun 14, 2013 at 8:58 AM
I don't think this will end well..he has no track record of handling adversity from a management point-of-view..and the Nets are expected to contend for a championship now. He will have no time to learn the ropes of coaching..
- fanofevilempire - Jun 14, 2013 at 11:39 AM
wtf are you talking about, this makes no sense, stop thinking stupid things
and typing and posting it here.

Windhorst just finished his "LeBron to New Jersey in '14" article.
- sdelmonte - Jun 14, 2013 at 11:07 AM
We all know it won't happen. LBJ is not going anywhere, and the Nets have cap issues.
But admit it. You were picturing the best player in the world in NYC, weren't you? And either hating him more, or loving the idea of him tormenting the Knicks just by living in Brooklyn, or even trying to figure out if he could co-exist with D-Will. And you know he would probably like to have Brook Lopez around.
- 1972wasalongtimeago - Jun 14, 2013 at 11:24 AM
I was totally kidding. Windhorst has a different "LeBron is leaving Miami" article just about every other day.
- fanofevilempire - Jun 14, 2013 at 11:43 AM
why would LeBron choose Brooklyn over Knicks, the Knicks signed off
on Nets going to Brooklyn because they will never have to compete with
Brooklyn for fans. I live in Brooklyn and my team is still the Knickerbockers.
Imagine if James had signed on to be on Broadway, he would have BIGGER.
- cantonbound13 - Jun 14, 2013 at 6:44 PM
The big 3 will be broken up when their contracts expire, no way Arrison is paying over 100 million in luxury tax. It will probably be Bosh who is traded, no way LeBron leaves.
- cantonbound13 - Jun 14, 2013 at 6:47 PM
Great hire by the Nets. Now they have a better coach, owner & pg than the Knicks, unfortunately for them that's all they have better.

Texas governor Rick Perry compared homosexuality to alcoholism last week, and it turns out it's not because he once dated Louie Anderson.

Not only was he a struggling actor, but the 43 year-old didn't find any success when appearing on 'The Big Date' in 1996 as he was passed by two women.
Picture: Jon Hamm - Celebrities attend AMC celebration of the Season Seven Premiere of The Emmy & Golden Globe Award-winning drama "Mad Men" at ArcLight Cinemas....
Age was been kind to Jon Hamm.
Before finding success in the television and film industry, a 25 year-old wannabe actor appeared on a dating show called 'The Big Date' in 1996.
Luckily for Hamm's fans, but not so much for him, footage of the episode was uploaded to YouTube on Friday (April 4th), and it is a very amusing watch.
The 'Mad Men' actor, who was waiting tables at the time, was trying to attract the attention of a 25 year-old computer animations student, Mary.
She desired to pick "a sexy, hot man who is honest and knows how to give a good foot massage."
But it seems Hamm just didn't match Mary's criteria.
While sporting a 'very 90's' long and wavy haircut, the now 43 year-old was asked by the show's host, Mark L. Walberg, how he would make someone of the opposite sex feel special on their first date.
"I'd start out with some fabulous food, fabulous conversation, a fabulous foot massage for an evening of total fabulosity," Hamm replied.
But unfortunately the two other men he was competing against had more to offer Mary, who went on to pick a stuntman called Mark.
Watch Jon Hamm's appearance on 'The Big Date' below
The second female guest on the show, Sonia, also chose not to go with the struggling actor and settled on a finance major called Marcus.
Although it may have been an embarrassing moment for Hamm, it didn't last too long as he has gone on to become one of Hollywood's most desired hunk's and has forged a very successful show business career.
Undoubtedly Mary and Sonia will be regretting their decision on that day.

Hamm is currently in a 17 year-long relationship with the gorgeous 'Kissing Jessica Stein' actress Jennifer Westfeldt.

If any Hamm fans need to forget watching his appearance on 'The Big Date', the final season of 'Mad Men' premieres on April 13th at 10 pm on AMC.

I'm just guessing. Maybe the simple reason Coach Harbaugh told Ondre Pipkins that he's too banged up to play football is because Ondre Pipkins is too banged up to play football.

I'm no football tactics guru, but it seems if defenses are generally gearing up to handle the spread, and Harbaugh comes in with a compact offensive set that still allows numerous options, we're going to difficult for opposing defenses to prepare for.

I was surprised to read so many mix reviews from people with dry skin or needing a lot of effort to make this foundation work. I recommend getting a sample first to test it out, as foundations and mascaras are so personal things - you'll often love or hate them.
I was looking for a new foundation for the longest time and ended up checking reviews on this Bobbi one. I've used BB creams at least a full year before going back to normal foundations, because I wanted to venture out an find something less oxidising and pink for my warm neutral skin tone. I have dry and sensitive skin, but it leans towards more to combination (thanks to my t-zone) in the evenings when I've worn sunscreens, makeup etc the whole day.
I find this Bobbi foundation very fresh and natural looking. And the best of all, it feels very light and doesn't break me out. It leaves my skin feeling glowy, but not oily or sticky at all. Only on very long or hot days I use a little bit of translucent powder on my t-zone to set it. I don't mind it gets little bit glowier towards the evening, because your skin does so naturally.
I usually use only one pump and with that amount I can build up the coverage to make my skin more even. I do need to apply concealer for my super dark under eyes and acne scars or blemishes. I have somewhat uneven texture on my cheeks where I've had blemishes and it doesn't really hide those. The foundation doesn't transfer much at all, but if there's any rubbing (like, kissing on the cheeks) there's not much product left at the end of the day. Because of these two minuses, I can't give full 5 lipsticks.
I can't blame the foundation if they don't have a perfectly matching shade, but I thought I might as well write about that: My shade doesn't match 100% as Alabaster was too light and Ivory very yellow on my warm/warm-neutral skin. Shade 0 Porcelain leans a bit too cool for me, but I can make it work by blending to my neck and finishing with Hourglass ALP in Diffused Light. I recommend Alabaster if you are lighter than NC15 and Ivory if you're looking for a foundation on more yellower side. All in all, I warmly recommend this foundation and will be repurchasing, but always try a sample first!

I have used this foundation for about 2 years. I have combination skin and the reason why I use it is because it's the first foundation I found that doesn't break me out. It doesn't have an overwhelming smell and the colors match my skin. I don't need a lot of coverage so it's perfect. If you have combination skin you will need to blot your skin or use a setting powder. I tried blotting and a setting powder and blotting during the day works just fine for me.

I used to use this foundation about 4 years ago and had no issues, but since moving away and coming back to it, either the formula has changed or my skin has as I can't use it anymore.
I ended up buying this and a couple of Bobbi Brown skin care products recently. I have pretty normal skin, nothing big to cover, just a bit of an oily t-zone.
After using the skincare (extra lotion + hydrating face cream) plus the foundation for a couple of days, my face just went really awful, dry and scaley.
I attributed the change to the skincare rather than the makeup as I'd used the foundation before with no issues, so returned the cream and lotion, only to find that my skin just wouldn't get better. The foundation highlighted the dry patches on my forehead and cheeks horribly while also slicking away from my oily t-zone. I looked an absolute mess!
The colour choice is amazing, I'm 'warm ivory' and it is the most accurate colour match I've ever found in a foundation, but I just can't use it.
After a couple of days off this product, my skin has more or less returned to normal, so it was, unfortunately, definitely the foundation!

I waited to review this foundation until I had gotten a lot of use out of it.
The biggest issue I had with this foundation is that prep is everything. As a sufferer of dry, flaky skin in the winter, it was nearly impossible to prep my skin enough. Even after exfoliating, moisturizing, priming, this foundation would never sit right. It has less coverage than a lot of tinted moisturizers (e.g. Bobbi Brown BB cream, or Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue). While I enjoy the light coverage (I like looking polished but natural), I had the hardest time buffing this in without a streaky, uneven, sort of dry result. I tried multiple brushes, sponges (including the beauty blender--which sheers it out too much) and multiple moisturizers and primers. The primers ranged from hydrating and water based to silicone based pore-fillers, and nothing worked. Aside from the initial sort of odd and patchy result, the foundation wouldn't last more than 6 or so hours.
And then.... I found the perfect combination. I typically use a hyaluronic acid serum in the morning, and on this particular morning I topped the serum with Estee Lauder DayWear Advanced Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant & UV Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (which I had hidden in my bathroom drawer, and which has a 4.4 star rating on MA). Then, I put the foundation on with Real Techniques expert face brush. Oh my goodness... I had the satin, glowing and even finish that I had always dreamed of!!! Powdered the T-zone a bit and it lasted all day. Repeated the steps the next day with the same result.
So... sorry for the long review, but the effectiveness of this foundation depends almost entirely on your prep and application method. It works better over EL's DayWear than it did over any moisturizer/primer combo I own, and applying it with a soft buffing brush with no harsh edges (much like Sephora's #56, or the Real Techniques one, or Morphe's G1) is key.
Can't give it a higher rating because having to buy other products to make the foundation work is inconvenient. I think this would do well on oilier skin types, because the foundation seems to need that slip that the EL DayWear gives. However, on oily skin it may not hold up during the day.
Rant over, hope this was useful for anyone trying to nail the application of this. With the right brush and moisturizer, this truly can look glowy/beautiful/your-skin-but-better.

This is a foundation with a beautiful finish.
It does give a stunning 'skin finish' after it dries down and blended out. I got compliments as if people would say 'You look good today!', which is pretty impressive as one of the foundations that people would compliment on my skin. However, I am not a fan.
It takes WAY TOO MUCH EFFORT for this foundation to work. First of all, it is very runny that feels very moisturising WHILE highlighting all dry patches. Even dry patches that I didn't know that they existed; despite having prepped my skin with macadamia+ intense moisturiser+moisturising primer. The result was so horrible in my first attempt that I got to wash it off, proceeded to redo my entire skincare routine this time prepping my skin with a more intense nighttime moisturiser. In my second attempt, those dry patches disappeared, yet when I applied this foundation it was still slightly streaky using the real techniques buffing brush. I needed to use my fingers, after using a brush, to help blend the foundation.
Secondly, the foundation looked extremely waxy until it dried down and was blended out to a decent finish...maybe after 5 minutes of ridiculous blending. However, this finish does not amount to decent coverage. I have decent skin, with no breakouts just a little bit of redness around the nose, yet my nose still looks kind of red after 2 layers. It is slightly disappointing.
I have tried numerous foundations from Chanel, Armani, YSL, MUFE face and body etc. and this foundation probably does provide slightly more coverage than MUFE, yet for MUFE it dries down much quicker without that waxy finish when I can quickly work on minimal concealing for a natural look. Don't get me wrong, this foundation is easily blendable due to its runny texture, however too much effort and time is needed.
After all these effort and powdering, it does give off that perfect skin-like finish which looks very natural and glowy. However, my nose started to get oily after 4 hours. I touched up with a handbag concealer after a 5-hour wear which wasn't like too terrible but thinking all the effort and a high price tag for this finish I am not sure if it's really worth it. For example using my YSL touche eclat foundation in my morning routine I will be able to finish both of my eyes, face makeup and get dressed in 20 minutes looking flawless and get compliments on my skin. Using Bobbi Brown skin I might have at least spent 15 minutes just working on my base.
Maybe I am just not a huge fan of 'zero coverage' foundation in general to begin with. I will still finish using this foundation because it is one of the fews that I will get compliments on, but I will only use it on holidays when I don't mind spending a ton of time in the morning. Two lippies.

The color range in this foundation line is excellent, which is why I gave it 3 stars. I just don't like the actual formula, though. I can't get even coverage & with or without primer this is cakey on my skin. Also, I don't feel like this ever sets & even with normal skin, the finish is too dewy for me.

I don't recommend this to people who have combination or oily skin. I tried it before buying and it stayed in my face all day long but at the end of the day, I was very disappointed because my t-zone were shining like a diamond.

I am really disappointed with this foundation considering how much it costs. I have combination skin, with my nose being the oiliest- and this foundation starts to slide off within two hours, and that is with primer and powdering. I am sure it will be much worse in the upcoming summer months. I tried the Wayne Goss method of powdering first, and that does help a little.
The texture is nice, and it blends really nicely. I have a very freckled complexion, and one pump gives me nice coverage. It does not hide my freckles completely- but it does blur them nicely, covers my redness, and hides some of my dark circles. Looks natural and healthy.
I do really love the color. I am a hard woman to match as I am fair and neutral toned, yet leaning more towards warm. I got matched to Beige (3) and it is perfect. I will try the foundation stick next, hopefully that works out better for me.

- A very lightweight formula that looks like nothing on the skin.
- There is more then one light color to choose from.
- For me it covers old acne scarring beautifully, and I feel like I don't need as much concealer as i normally would with this kind of formula.
- Doesn't cling to dry pacthes.
- Doesn't break me out.
- I really had to learn how to apply this product properly. You really need to take your time with it.
- It is quite expensive, and i do need two pumps to cover my entire face.
I use a stippling brush to apply and a buffing brush to blend it out. To set this foundation, I use a sponge covered with a tissue, and dab gently over my entire face. This absorbs the excess oil perfectly, and I don't need a setting powder. (see Wayne Goss' beauty channel for a tutorial on this technique)
All in all, I like this foundation a lot, but i'd love to find a similar product that applies a little quicker. I would however, repurchase.

I received this product only as a sample gift, and so I can't comment on the packaging, as mine was just in a little packet. Also, the color wasn't right, because the sample they sent out was a generic "natural." However, that being said, the sample did not inspire me to even try a color that might suit me. The texture was very similar to MAC's foundations, in that it was very oily, and thick. The greasiness covered everything and evened out my skin, but not in a natural way. It was VERY heavy. It felt like wearing a mask made out of cooking spray.

TrainBoard Members and Visitors;
TrainBoard is down (and will be down) for a brief period. We are probably going to be offline for two to three days. This is just an estimate. It could be a bit more (or less).
During the last year or so, we have not been able to offer you the kind of product that we feel is acceptable. In order for TrainBoard to survive and grow, we realize that we must offer you something much better, which is exactly what we plan on doing.
Work is going on behind the scenes right now to make the changes that we feel will put us back on the right track. Some things will be changing. We will work through this and we believe that a more streamlined product will be easier to use and allow us to better accomplish our mission.
We ask that you be patient and continue to check back. There will also be a transitional period once we retun to work out bugs but, as we have always done in the past, we will get where we need to be.
All our best, and we will see you again soon!
- Charlie
Update - June 24
Work is progressing nicely today. Please bear with us as we continue working behind the scenes.
Update - June 26
More work. TrainBoard will return soon. We apologize for the delay. We are working behind the scenes every day and ask your patience while we upgrade the site. E-Mail if we can help you in the meantime.
Update - June 28
We are sorry that this is taking so long, but it will be worth it. A few rumors have reached our ears. We are not closing. We have not crashed. Everything is fine. We are re-tooling the site in a major way and we are well over half done. We will be back in 2 to 4 days. Please bear with us. The only reason we are closed during this time is so that new posts are not lost as we have already imported the data to the new system.
Update - June 29
Still working folks. We are making good progress and continue to ask for patience for a couple of more days while we get things running.

The November 2008 Release (build 220.127.116.110) is live: http://www.codeplex.com/MFCMAPI
While we were working on the site for the Outlook MAPI Samples I mentioned that Codeplex allows projects to have a logo, and asked if anyone had any ideas. Next thing I knew, we had a designer lined up ready to draw a custom logo. Not to let an opportunity go to waste, I pointed out how awful the icon for MFCMAPI was. I didn't really expect to get a new icon, but look what showed up in my mail last night:
The new icon alone is enough to warrant a new release, but I slipped in some other goodies as well. Here's a change list - see the Issue Tracker on Codeplex for more details, or look at the code:
I've had a few customers lately getting hangs using Exchange's MAPI to talk to Exchange. Their specific symptoms and repro steps varied from case to case, but in every case, the stack showed the client waiting on an NSPI call to return. NSPI is the interface the Exchange Address Book Provider uses to talk to the Global Catalog. In every case, the hung NSPI call was to the Exchange server and not the GC. The fix in each case was to enable referral so the client talked to GC directly. In this article, I want to discuss NSPI, DSProxy, the reasons for the hang, referral, and introduce an updated GCReconnect sample that demonstrates how this all works. I've also tried to consolidate all the relevant information into this one article so you can get your apps working quickly.
Background Info
Back in the day (AKA Exchange 5.5 and earlier), Exchange had its own directory. When a MAPI client wanted to look something up in the directory, it would make a call using the Name Service Provider (NSPI) interface. Exchange registered to listen on this interface, and when it received an NSPI request, it would perform the lookup in the directory and return the results. When Exchange and Windows 2000 came along, Exchange stopped handling the directory - that's the GC's job. The GC implemented NSPI, so any MAPI client that wanted to talk to them instead could do so. But many MAPI clients out there still wanted to talk to the Exchange server, so Exchange still registered to listen for NSPI requests. Instead of handling the requests though, Exchange would look up an appropriate GC and send the packets over there. Any response it got back from the GC would be sent straight on to the client that originated the call. The process that handles this is called DSProxy. This whole process is documented at the bottom of this article: How MAPI Clients Access Active Directory.
Of course, this double hop of every directory lookup isn't terribly efficient. It would be better if the client could ask the Exchange server what the best GC is, and then send it's requests there instead. So we developed the Referral (RFR) Interface. A client that wishes to avoid using DSProxy can use the RFR interface to get the name of a GC, then connect directly to that GC and avoid all the extra network traffic and load on the Exchange server. As How MAPI Clients Access Active Directory notes, Outlook 2000 was the first client to implement this logic. At the time that article was written, Exchange's MAPI couldn't ask for a referral, so anyone using Exchange's MAPI always used DSProxy.
Then along came Jason's article: Getting Exchange MAPI's GC-Reconnect stuff to work. Jason found that we had ported the RFR logic into Exchange's MAPI, and that it was possible to turn it on in a brand new profile. All you had to do was set a couple extra properties before logging on. If Jason's properties are set, the Exchange Address Book Provider will ask for a referral, and assuming it gets one, will always talk directly to the GC.
Recently, we found that Jason's settings weren't working when connecting to an Exchange 2007 server. Due to some changes we made in Exchange 2007, getting Exchange's implementation of MAPI to request a referral required setting a few more properties.
The Hang
Exchange's implementation of the NSPI proxy in DSProxy is somewhat simplestic. It literally reads packets from one socket and writes them to the other. A side effect of this simple implementation is a number of error scenarios don't get handled well. Particularly if the GC being proxied to goes down - DSProxy doesn't always send the error back to the client. So we can end up with a client that's waiting on the server to respond, and a server that's convinced the connection has been torn down. This particular hang can only happen if the MAPI client isn't using referral, which is why it's so important to ensure referral is working.
I've updated the sequence of steps performed in requesting a referral, assuming the RFR settings have been made:
Ensuring Referral
Always set the following:
In the MUIDEMSAB profile section (dca740c8c042101ab4b908002b2fe182):
In the global profile section (13DBB0C8AA05101A9BB000AA002FC45A):
Set the following if your application connects to Exchange 2007 and does not run locally on the Exchange 2007 server:
If your application connects to Exchange 2007 and runs locally on the Exchange 2007 server, then requesting referral is not possible. In fact, setting the Exchange 2007 referral settings in this scenario will cause logon to fail.
These settings must be made before you call MAPILogonEx. Setting them after then would obviously be too late. You can check if you got a referral by reading PR_PROFILE_HOME_SERVER from the MUIDEMSAB profile section after you do your logon. If it's set to one of your GCs, then referral is working.
Some time last year, Jason's blog on referral and reconnect got converted into a KB article. Part of that article included the sample code we were using to test this, called GCReconnect. I've polished this code up to demonstrate the new profile settings and added switches to allow testing. I've posted the updated sample here.
When you build and run the sample, this is what you'll see:
C:\>GCReconnect.exe Creates a profile, optionally enabling referral and reconnect logic, and tests name lookup.
Usage: GCReconnect [-?] -m mailbox -s server [-e] [-x] [-n name] [-l] [-r] [-w]
Options: -m mailbox Specifies the mailbox to log on to. -s server Specifies the Exchange server where the mailbox resides. -e Enable referral and reconnect If referral and reconnect are not enabled, MAPI will connect directly to the Exchange server for name lookup -x Enable additional referral and reconnect settings for Exchange 2007 Implies -e -n name Specifies a name to resolve with ResolveName If not specified, QueryIdentity will be used instead -l Loop over MAPILogonEx. Will log on and off repeatedly until key is hit -r Loop over ResolveName. Will log on once and do name lookup repeatedly until key is hit Requires -n, not valid with -l -w Wait for keyboard input before and after creating and configuring profile -? Displays this usage information.
If you give just a mailbox and server name, GCReconnect will build a profile, connect to the mailbox, and look up your user's name in the directory. The -e and -x switches turn on referral and reconnect, while the -l and -r switches allow you to tell the app to keep hitting the server so you can test scenarios like failover when you turn off a GC. With the -n switch, you can give a different name for the directory lookup test. The last switch, -w, just makes the app wait so you can attach a debugger, if you're in to that sort of thing.
Troubleshooting and Caveats
1 – Open Regedit on the Exchange Server
2 – Navigate to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeSA\Diagnostics
3 – Locate the "11 NSPI Proxy" and "12 RFR Interface" values and set each of them to 5

Day 12 Mt Hood to Whidbey and HOME - last trip installment
I thought I would finish this before the year was out...almost. Doesn't matter, looking forward to the next big trip and thanks to all who followed thus far. Here is the last day of my big noob ride.
110913 Day 12
Up at 0630. Foraged for some wood once again and made a small fire to get going. Something about fire and warming up in the early morning that motivates you for the day. Ate a light breakfast of an Odwalla bar and some coffee. Sat by the fire and updated my journal and studied maps. Plan was to hit Mt. St Helens and then maybe camp out near Packwood. I had plenty of time to do whatever. Packed and rolling by 0800. Weather was looking nice and clear for the day once again. The air had a nice morning briskness to it while riding through the woods.
Rolled by little town of Parkdale and noticed sign for Mt Hood Railroad so took a look see. Had a small depot in town but no equipment to see. Moved on using hwy 281 to get to town of Hood River. Took a lap around town but it was pretty dead. Saw a red V-Strom and a few other ADV bikes parked around in town. Heading to bridge crossing of the Columbia River got gas at station near entrance. Had to go through construction to get there and that sucked, lot of convoluted local detours and equipment all over the place. A total clusterama. After gas got disoriented by the AFU construction signs pointing to the bridge entrance and ended up making a loop back in to the construction zone hell. Had to wait for quite a while and was getting pissed, I just wanted to get the hell out of there.
Bridge of DOOM across the Columbia
Finally got to bridge entrance and it had a toll for 50 cents or something. I was initially happy about moving again but that was pretty short lived as I rode onto the brutally uncomfortable steel grating of the bridge deck. The bike felt super weird and not in a good degree of control due to the parallel running steel grating surface and the wind blowing me all over. Not a good feeling. I muttered things like oh god and holy shit in my helmet more than once traversing the thing. To make matters worse, there was more construction going on in the middle of the span and guess who got the next stop sign turn, yes my dumb ass. The woman holding the sign said she didnt like having to stop motorcycles since they dont seem to like the bridge deck. I told her that not only did I not like it but it was scary as shit with the wind. I held there long enough to take a couple photos. Getting the slow sign to get moving was welcome but not without more scary riding having to change lanes in the middle of the bridge traversing the grating. It really sucked and was the most uncomfortable I have felt on the bike yet. Gravel was nothing compared to this bridge.
Hey let's stop the motorcycle dude he already looks pissed, gee thanks
Bridge deck is not fun on a motorcycle
View down the Columbia, the wind is hard and constant around this area
Surviving the bridge and getting on pavement was nice but again for only a short moment. Heading west on hwy 14 now on the Washington side, the wind was absolutely howling. I got buffeted all over my side of the road. Every time another truck would pass in the opposite direction I got even more blasting and flopping. Great fun - not. The best part is the several tunnels that have to be negotiated where the wind flows through them like a big venturi. The turbulence was crazy around the tunnels and the only thing keeping me going it seemed was the weight of the bike. I had to pull over a couple times to take a break as the ride was mentally taxing in the unpredictable wind blasts.
Tunnels equal wind blasting from hell
Observed some wind surfers out on the river going crazy fast in the high winds. Extreme fun takes many forms which all border on stupidity.
Some folks have learned to embrace the winds
Gratuitous train shot, SD90MACs I think
Eventually heading up the Wind River road to Carson was a welcome break from the wind. Stopped in Carson at the general store thinking they might have a nice deli to get a sandwich from. Looked ok like a mom and pop place from the outside, inside was clean but certainly very generic without much character. Nothing interesting to eat and all they had for deli type items was fried and over cooked 7-11 type food. Not my style. Got a hodgepodge of packaged foodstuff and bailed out.
Carson General Store, disappointing food selection
Rolling north up the Wind River basin became yet another fun and twisty exercise through the woods. Some chunky spots in the road but overall not bad. Up to the Swift Resevoir and the turn off to Cougar was a fun ride.
View to St Helens along the Wind River hwy
Took the FS road 25 north towards St Helens. Less maintained road and more chunky with some frost heave in several areas. Ok for the Strom and no issues, just need to pay attention to the surface changes with most holes and bumps easily avoidable. Would not be fun in my stiffly suspended Miata but was a hoot on the motorcycle. Weaving and twisting through all kinds of different corners in the woods, next to bluffs and up and down steep grades. It was a lot of fun and quite fast due to the fact that there was nobody out there and conditions were great.
Windy River along FS Road 25
Made it to FS road 99 to WIndy Ridge viewpoint and Mt St Helens National Monument area. Road was about 17 miles to view point. Again, practically nobody out here so was able to ride at what ever pace I felt comfortable with. Very nice screaming up the turns to what became open vistas with big views out along the barren valleys and hills that had been blasted by the St Helens eruption. Several pull out points to take photos of the interesting and spectacular scenery.
Heading up the Windy Ridge road east of Mt St Helens
Some areas on road with rock fall that required some caution. Lack of vegitation and steep pumice covered bluffs all around provide plenty of debris to end up on the road. Lack of vegitation also provides a great visual look ahead on the road so there was several cases where I got some really good corners in and practiced my cornering technique at speed. Excellent ride. Saw a couple other motorcyclists enjoying the area as well with one particular sport rider really hauling ass heading in the other direction. No moto dude hand waving here, just total concentration on the ride.
Vast barren landscape from volcano blast provides a lot of visibility of the road for sporting riding
Stopped at a pullout and saw a nice Vanagon with a lot of bugs on the front and Colorado plates. Found the owner an older guy taking pictures and mentioned he had a nice van. I showed him my
t shirt I was wearing which validated my Vanagon enthusiasm. Talked to him for quite a while about travelling, places to go and what not. We both agreed that solo travel is a good way to go sometimes so you can go at your own pace (i.e. wife not always a requirement for travel fun).
Continued on to end of road and Windy Ridge vistapoint. There was a long stairway up to a vista point that looked intriguing. I was intially worried about my ankle but after getting my boots off and wrapping it with an ace bandage, it felt ok walking around in my Teva sandals. Packed some food in a daypack and slogged up the staircase. Went pretty slow and made sure I had sure footing each time I used the injured side. Got to the top of a pumice gravel covered view area and took several photos. Amazing place to see and trying to imagine the devistaing actions that took place during the eruption was mind boggling.
Staircase up Windy Ridge, yes I ascended/descended that with broke ankle
View to Spirit Lake which is home to thousands of blown away trees from the St Helens eruption
Looking into the crater of Mt St Helens
After descending the big staircase, geared up and headed back the way I came. Knowing the road a bit better this time I was able to push just a little bit more in the corners and got some really good riding in. The sun was out, there was no wind and no traffic, just open curvatures of road to enjoy. Lot of fun and really starting to feel comfortable on the bike riding hard through the turns with the optimum conditions.
Back on FS road 25 heading north to Randle was much of the same blasting through the woods on crappy road with several areas of frost heave and repair patches. Paying close attention to the surface was made more difficult with the various shadows created by the trees lining the road. Was good bumpy fun and certainly made me think twice about ever bringing my Miata up there. Had to cross a spindly bridge over a landslide area at one point that was somewhat unnerving. Saw a BMW rider with full panniers and stuff riding the other direction right after I crossed the bridge. He looked to be much more confident on the crossing than I did.
Temporary bridge crossing along FS road 25 north of Mt St Helens
Arriving at Randle after much bumpiness and twistiness was returning to a familar area that I had travelled over several times going to autocross events. Got on the hwy 12 and headed east to Packwood. The hwy here is long, straight and fast. The only problem is the hugemongous elk that hang around. Easy to go fast but knowing what is out there tended to make me ride at a much more conservative speed. At Packwood stopped for an obligatory shot in front of the Hotel Packwood.
My favorite and cheapest place to stay in the homely town of Packwood
Got some gas and headed up the Skate Creek road which crosses some foothills to the Mt Ranier NP area. Skate Creek is a fun road that takes a typical winding route along the river. Been on it before in the Miata but not nearly as fun as on the motorcycle. Many frost heave bumps and pavement patches not much of a big deal for the bike compared to trying to drive it in the car and popping your kidneys.
Got up to SR 706 and headed east to Mt Rainier NP. Entered the park and rode up to Paradise camp to take a look see. Nice road but a lot of tourists so mostly slow going. Plan was to ride all the way through the park to hwy 410 but the road was closed somewhere after the box canyon area. Went ahead and did an out an d back anyway just to see it. Never been in this area of the park so was a good opportunity to explore what I could. Got a lot of photos along the way as the weather was still perfect and great for good photos.
Mt Rainier from Paradise lodge
Purple mountain majesties...
After stopping at Paradise, rode out to the box canyon for another photo op, road was fun and exposed along this section next to a deep valley. Hiked out to the view point of the river washing through the box canyon 100 feet below. Interesting natural formation for sure. Rode back out the same route and had a good time on the winding road of the park.
Perfect day at Mt Rainier NP
Nice exposure along road 123 in the Mt Rainier NP
View into the Box Canyon formation
Back on the regular highway, got to Elbe and stopped for dinner. Passed several places to eat in Ashford outside the park but nothing really captured my interest as everything looked very tourist oriented and a lot of people at each place. Of course then I stop in Elbe at the train car diner thing which is over the top tourist oriented. Was hungry and needed to eat. Place was dead and I was the only one in my car section. Ordered a steak and the meal was mediocre at best. Overpriced for sure but I needed to fill the void. Tried to call Wifey but no phone service anywhere around the Mt Rainier area as usual.
Funky railcar diner in Elbe
50's style atmosphere was uniquely American for sure
After eating headed up towards Eatonville and stopped there to try to use my cellphone. It worked and after talking to Wifey decided to try to push on and make it home. Was already kind of tired but also not in the mood to hotel it in this area of the state, I have trust issues leaving my bike outside especially where I kinda know the demographic.
Kept rolling in darkness now towards Puyallup and north. Puyallup is a major pain in the ass to get through no matter what time of day it is. Today being no exception. Town simply sucks ass for driving or riding through. Stoplights and dense traffic for miles and no way to bypass. Eventually made it to the freeway after another patience testing exercise and blasted north. First real freeway riding for the entire trip so not bad. Used the express lane mostly and cruised it out. Low traffic volumes all the way to 405 and Renton. Just soldiered on and made it through in pretty good time. Made it to Mulkiteo and the ferry terminal no problem. Caught the 1000pm ferry. Took a nap on the ferry and then back on Whidbey for the ride home.
Arriving at the house was nice having the wife and dog waiting for me but at the same time a little sad knowing that a great trip came to an end. Tired and sore, I put the bike away for a well deserved rest.
3200 miles of bugs

"nvpanel" audio configuration
Hi, I see from the latest nforce driver README that 6 channel output is enabled by using an Audio Control Panel. However I cannot find this utility upon installation, and running "nvpanel" does nothing. Is there a separate file for this utility? Where can I obtain "nvpanel"?
Matt Davidson
Re: "nvpanel" audio configuration
Same problem: Where is this *nvpanel* ??????????
Fedora Core 1 :screwy:
Re: "nvpanel" audio configuration
if i were guessing your problems lie in the fact that you aren't using nvidia's closed source drivers that include the utility... you're using alsa.
if your sound works at all and you've got the 2.6 kernel, then you must be using alsa (with the soundstorm card that is).
my suggestion to you: alsamixergui -- or just alsamixer
good luck.
Re: "nvpanel" audio configuration
I guys, my first reply :)
I use gnu/linux debian and there is not any .deb package so i musta use the tar.gz :(
I dont use alsa, I still use OSS from 2.4.26 kernel. I would like to know how to activate the 6 channels cuz it seems the nvpanel utility isnt in the sources of the package :screwy:
Really tnx
PD: sorry 4 my english, but hey, im spanish :rolleyes:
Re: "nvpanel" audio configuration
you need to get the closed-source nvidia audio drivers from www.nvidia.com afaik
Re: "nvpanel" audio configuration
I am using Slack 9.1 (2.4.22 kernel) on an Asus a7n266-vm mobo w/nforce 1 chipset
I installed proprietary nforce 1.0-0274 drivers from source tarball and am also having trouble finding "nvpanel"
I have searched by name w/ no results. no binaries, no links, nada.
Otherwise install worked fine -- plain old stereo. previous nforce install was also legit -- no alsa in that setup. Seems latest nv audio release is missing some screws. :wtf: I now have ALSA setup as a stopgap until a soloution materializes. anybody actually using nvpanel successfully out there?
Re: "nvpanel" audio configuration
hey guys (and girls)
Also just downloaded the nforce drivers, 1.0-0274 and also missing the "nvpanel" application???
i have used ALSA and the nvaudio OSS driver, both work with sound, but no nvidia audio control panel :(
Re: "nvpanel" audio configuration
it appears that you can now download the nvpanel as a stand alone RPM or the source code.
see step 5 at the bottom. gonna try it tonight
Re: "nvpanel" audio configuration
well...after installing the nforce drivers found myself in exactly the same situation as you do. I tried to execute the command 'NVAUDIO" (same as in Windows) and voilá...the nForce Audio Panel appeared on screen.
However the panel is useless (particularly here) because it doesn't let me set up the the speakers nor the volume levels.
Still looking for the answer....
Hope this works for you. :)
Re: "nvpanel" audio configuration
Hi HighTemplar
The NVAUDIO app works fine on my machine, very happy with it :) the solution might lie in the loaded modules fo your system. If you are using alsa sound, i don't think this app will work. the following line has to be in the modules.conf file
alias sound-slot-0 nvaudio
Then when in X, run the app and check the third tab, it should tell you the driver version numbers and then it should work.
Good luck

text: The census is a valuable source of information about the people who lived here. In 1870 John L. Dupree is 29 years old. His wife Carrie is 24 and they have 3 children. They are white. He is a sawmill owner. George Parker is 39, black, and a teamster. He and his wife were born in Alabama and they have 2 children born in Texas. A section of the 1880 census is designated as the "Smokevill Settlement". Among those who live there are the following. Elisabeth Caffy is 60. Three unmarried children live with her: Livian, 39, blind; Francis 33; and Robert, 23, a wagoner. Charles Scott is 39, mulatto, laborer. Moses Johnson is 55, mulatto, woodchopper. John Ray is 25, mulatto, woodchopper. His wife is 25 and they have 5 daughters. George Parker is 50, mulatto, farmer. His wife Emily is 50, mulatto. They have 3 daughters and 1 son; the youngest is 3 months old. Louis Lemmons is 29, mulatto, laborer. His wife Hanna is 23 and they have 3 children. Prinz Chane is 48, black, farmer. His wife Charlotte is 50 and one son and 2 grandchildren live with them. Austin Lee is 43, black, farmer. His wife Sarah is 54, and 1 daughter and 2 grandchildren live with them. William McKissock is 27, mulatto, laborer and has 4 stepchildren. The 1895-96 city directory says that George Parker is a charcoal dealer. I believe that various people in the "Smokevill Settlement" were involved in the production of charcoal and therefore the name. In the 1880 census there is another mostly black settlement called the "Eureka Settlement" near Smokeville. There is no census for 1890. As all genealogists know, it was destroyed in a fire in Washington in the 1920's. In the 1900 census George Parker is 70, day laborer. He and his wife Emily have been married 33 years. Three daughters Minnie, 20, Hannah, 16, and Mary, 16 live with them. Charley Scott is 57, black, oil mill laborer. He and his wife have been married 31 years and have 7 children at home from 24 years to 7 months of age. Jerry Smith is 65, black, preacher. He lives with his wife of 32 years and 2 children. Felix Crooms is 36, black, day laborer. He lives with his wife, 1 child, and 1 nephew. Austin Lee is 61, black, single and has 2 tenants, including Daniel Crooms.

WTAMU Choirs
About the Choirs
All interested WTAMU students are encouraged to sing in a choir. It is not required to be a music-major in order to be involved in the choral program. With four distinctive ensembles, there is a place for everyone - even beginners. The Collegiate Choir is an open enrollment group - all one has to do to join is register for MUEN 1041. Other ensembles require an audition.
Auditions for WTAMU Chorale and Chamber Singers are held each semester. Interested students must contact Dr. Sean Pullen, Director of Choral Activities, by email or phone (806) 651-2846 to set up an audition before each new semester begins. During the short audition, students will vocalize and demonstrate sight-reading skills to help the director determine which group will be most appropriate for them. Prepared solos are not necessary.

Letter: Lesson in leadership for Memphis
Our nation and our schools could learn a lesson about real leadership, courage, sacrifice and selflessness from how one school and one team finally achieved a goal that had never been attained by any Memphis team in the sport of wrestling -- a state championship and No. 1 ranking over all divisions (Feb. 5 article, "CBHS grabs state title / First West Tennessee team to win duals").
Sacrifice, commitment, character, patience, pain and selfless determination are the hallmarks of champions in this sport.
Christian Brothers High School is blessed to have a coach like Chris Lewis as its leader. The role of a leader is to create a vision, set a goal, get buy-in and perform with full accountability. This team was denied two previous championships in very close losses. They battled back through selfless determination and the support of many families and outstanding volunteers.
The numbers of student wrestlers' lives that have been impacted through this program are enormous. This recipe for success is the same for both business and sports as perfected by the Brothers' staff (outstanding mentors teaching the correct principles, followed up by hard work and sacrifice and being held accountable if falling short of your goal).
The challenges facing our city, such as racism, crime and economic disparity, can only be transformed by real leadership with dedication and a will that refuses to lose. Many of the wrestlers on the CBHS team set this goal as far back as fifth or sixth grade. The sacrifice and determination by these teenagers and their coaches should challenge our community as a whole. If these teenagers can overcome their challenges, Memphis, we can overcome ours.

45 minute layover, arrive at terminal T, leave at terminal EMay 7, 20152Does 45 min. give me enough time to get from terminal T to terminal E? It is a flight from Houston to Atl to US virgin islands. Will our bags be transferred for us?gbs2016Thu, May 7
London to Atlanta on VS, then on to MSY on DLMay 5, 20152Hi, I'm travelling from London to Atlanta on Virgin Atlantic and have 1 hour 55 minutes to connect to a Delta flight from ATL to New Orleans. The flights are on separate bookings. I will need to clear immigration and am hoping to travel with cabin baggage only. Do you think this leaves me enough time? I will check in online for both flights.LDN-ATL_MSYMon, May 4Yes, without checked bags this is doable, as after customs you can go through security and directly to your departure gate on the Plane Train.ZAPMon, May 4Thanks for your answer. It's now looking like I may not get everything I need to take into a cabin sized bag. I'm travelling transatlantic on premium economy, so my luggage should arrive (all being well!) fairly quickly on the carousel at Atlanta. Do you think there is enough time to drop a bag at Delta check in and make my connecting flight?LDN-ATL-MSYTue, May 5

Bag re-check MBJ-ATL-HSVApr 30, 20152This is probably a stupid question on my part, but this will be my first time flying internationally so I just want to make sure. Will be coming back from Jamaica through Atlanta on the way to Huntsville, AL. I've heard you have to re-check your bags after clearing customs in Atlanta before going to my connecting flight to Huntsville. Do I need to tell the ticket agent in Jamaica to only check my bag to Atlanta or will they check it all the way through to Huntsville and the baggage handlers in Atlanta will know to send it to the customs area first and not on to the next flight? Again, probably a stupid question on my part, and I'm sure I know the right answer, but just wanted to double check since this is my first time flying internationally and want to make sure the process is as smooth as possible. Thanks!WxFlyThu, Apr 30The bags will be tagged through to Huntsville and will come out on the belt in Atlanta. All bags on your flight from Jamaica will go straight to the belt, regardless of final destination.ZAPThu, Apr 30
Enough connection timeApr 28, 20151Hello we're flying with Delta from Brussels to Los Angeles with a 85 minute connection in Atlanta. We will have to change terminal but I don't know them yet. Will we have enough time to go through US Immigration and Customs and then change terminal ? Thanks.TPTue, Apr 28You don't actually have to change terminals. You will arrive in the E or F gates, go through US Immigration, claim your bags, go through US Customs, and re-check your bags at the transfer desk, then go through security and take the Plane Train to your departure concourse. 85 minutes is 5 minutes less than the recommended time. If you do miss your connection Delta has lots of flights from Atlanta to Los Angeles.ZAPTue, Apr 28

Do I have to recheck my baggage n ATL? Also if I leave the airport how do I get back into Terminal S?RFKTue, Apr 28As long as both flights are the same day you just have to go from your arrival gate to your departure gate. All gates are connected inside security by the Plane Train. You will pre-clear US Immigration and Customs in Aruba.ZAPTue, Apr 28Thanks. The flights are not in the same day. I arrive ATL 7:30pm and leave the next morning to DFW at 7:30am. Will Delta hold my bags until the next flight or do I have to go to the baggage claim and leave the secure area?RFKTue, Apr 28No, in that case they will likely only check your bags through to Atlanta, but you can ask the agent in Aruba. If you do need to get your bags from the international terminal and do want to go straight to the domestic terminal (outside security), rather than to a hotel, there is a shuttle bus between them.ZAPWed, Apr 29
