The Delicate Charter School Transition
Georgia is a leader in establishing charter schools. New charter schools are opening from Valdosta to Augusta to Americus. No place has seen a "charter school boom" quite like Macon and Bibb County. They compete with public schools, yet are part of the public system. GPB's Michael Caputo explains how that can make for strange bedfellows.

Georgia Elementary And Middle Schools Improve Scores on College Readiness Test, High Schools Fall Slightly
The results come from a new school-grading system that replaces No Child Left Behind measurements, called the College and Career Ready Performance Index or CCRPI. State Superintendent John Barge says a more-rigorous Algebra test is one reason high school scores dropped 1 point.

Georgia's New Teacher Evaluation System Seen As 'Sea Change'
Education will continue to be on the front lines this fall in Georgia. And not only because it's at the center of the gubernatorial race. Georgia will be implementing a new mandatory statewide teacher evaluation system for the first time once the new school year begins. The state has been conducting a pilot program with a fraction of Georgia's school districts. In the fall, it goes live to all school districts for the first time.

No Easy Answers For Bullying
The horrors of bullying burst into the news again this week with the report of an 8-year-old Carroll County girl having her hair pulled so hard that her scalp ripped. Bullying has always been a major problem, but its prevalence appears to have increased with the growth of social media sites and the Internet, experts say. And it has not been an easy problem to solve.

The $3.6 million for the Internet upgrade is part of a plan to bring all 180 school districts up to speed in an increasingly digital era.

The Photo Clam Pro Gold II Easy QR Ball Head features a lever-operated clamp for its Arca-style quick-release mechanism. Instead of twisting a knob several times, simply flip the lever to change out cameras or to switch over to handheld shooting. In addition to quick & easy operation, the head offers extremely strong ball-locking for a very high 66.1 lb load capacity.
The Pro Gold II Easy QR head features separate knobs for locking the ball and the pan base, enabling you to keep the orientation of your framing locked while you pan. This makes it appropriate for panoramic photography. Within the ball-locking knob there's a dial for applying progressive biaxial friction, to accommodate lighter and heavier camera setups across the head's vast load capacity.
The quick-release clamp is compatible with almost all Arca-style camera plates from both Photo Clam and other manufacturers, such as Kirk, Acratech, Arca-Swiss, and Novoflex. The width of the clamp can be adjusted easily using the included tool in case a particular dovetail plate doesn't immediately fit.
The head features a slot for tilting 90° to portrait orientation. Bubble levels allow you to ensure that your framing hews to the horizon in either landscape or portrait orientation.
Note: After you've adjusted the width of the clamp to fit your camera plate, use a single brand of plate with this head.
- The quick-release clamp opens in two steps: the first step allows you to slide out your camera horizontally, and the second (completely open) lets you remove it vertically
- The clamp lever features a safety button to eliminate any inadvertent loosening of the clamp
- The width of the quick-release clamp can be adjusted to fit almost any dovetail plate
- The head attaches to a tripod via its 3/8"-16 threaded mount
- Weighs just 0.9 lb

CELEBRATE: There was likely a million more people celebrating Mardi Gras on the streets of New Orleans on Tuesday, but the mood was no less festive in the Struthers High School cafeteria where about 50 French Club members put their own spin on the festive holiday. Amid purple, green and gold decorations and the strains of "Mardi Gras Mambo" and "When the Saints Go Marching In," Roslyn Terek's students, including Amber Fast, top, celebrated Fat Tuesday. Also enjoying the festivities were Angela Monaco, center, who crowned Kristi Collins and Tim Jackson, bottom, as carnival royalty. Students made masks for the occasion, and after a feast of traditional Mardi Gras king cake, French crepes and good old American pizza, they let the good times roll with a parade -- with plenty of beads for everyone.

When Petr Klima walked away from the Czechoslovakian national team in Nussdorf, West Germany on August 18, 1985, he made history as the first Czech player to defect directly to an NHL team.
That night he was to meet Detroit Red Wings executive vice-president Jim Lites and assistant coach Nick Polano in the woods near the hotel. When Klima didn't appear, Lites and Polano went to the hotel. The Czech police knew Polano, so Lites and the pair's interpreter had to look for Klima on their own. They couldn't find him.
Suddenly, Klima appeared, walking towards their car. He told them he wouldn't leave unless the Red Wings agreed to help get his girlfriend out of Czechoslovakia as well. Lites agreed instantly and told Klima to get in the car.
But Klima still wouldn't leave, insisting on going back into the hotel for some personal effects. Five minutes later, he reappeared, got into the car, and they all sped off, eager to put as much distance between Klima and the hotel as they could before the team's 11 pm bed check.
Klima was now officially a defector.
"How fast does this car go?" he asked anxiously. Their rented Mercedes' top speed was 125 mph; fast enough to relieve everyone's anxiety about being followed. "I feared that one of these times, on one of these defections, the Czechs were going to make an example with guns, if necessary," Polano later said.
Their first stop was the American consulate in Stuttgart. Polano hadn't actually believed the escape plan would work, so the Red Wings front office hadn't even bothered to contact the consulate in advance. Nor had they envisioned the difficulties they'd encounter with the Czech authorities. Klima's passport had been confiscated upon the team's arrival in West Germany, and without any identifying papers, it was going to be nearly impossible for Polano and Lites to prove who their teenage charge was.
While waiting for the visa to clear the red tape, Klima and Polano moved from city to city in West Germany, sometimes pushing the Mercedes to its mechanical limits in order to avoid the Czech police. "We didn't want to take any chances. We just kept moving from city to city," Polano said.
Polano and Lites also made Klima wait a whole week before contacting his parents back home in Chomutov, Czechosolovakia. As it turned out, Klima's defection was big news in Czechoslovakia, and the Detroit execs had been correct in assuming they'd be actively pursued.
Still, they didn't want their newest asset to feel like a prisoner. With a Red Wings exec following him like a shadow, Klima played a little tennis and did some sight-seeing. They only let him loose on his own once, with disastrous results:
"We let him take the Mercedes for a ride, and he wrecked it," Polano recalled. It's a good thing it was a Mercedes, a really heavy car. He did some pretty good damage to it, but wasn't scratched himself. We pushed that thing into the Hertz garage and got the hell out of there as fast as we could."
After five weeks of hiding and waiting, Klima finally made it to the U.S. on September 22, 1985 with the help of U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese and Assistant A.G. Lowell Jensen. Polano didn't accompany him; instead he went to Vienna to meet with Klima's girlfriend and personally escort her to Germany for visa processing.
When Polano finally returned to the U.S., there was no fanfare. Instead, he found a note from American Express, politely enquiring about the $35,000* charged during Operation Extract Klima.
*For those of you keeping score at home, that's roughly the equivalent of $71,000 today.

Our garden's furry little train,
Sir Caterpillar, please explain.
I've been told that by and by
you'll turn into a butterfly.
Instead of moving like a train
you'll fly and flutter like a plane!
I've wished for wings, but I don't know
just how a kid gets wings to grow.
If you could show me how to do it,
I bet there would be nothing to it!

Community Landing Page Experience
Suzanne Livingston 110000F23G email@example.com Tags:  ibm-connections social-software 1,259 Visits
After hearing lots of feedback and comments from customers, I've been thinking about how to redesign this experience and it seems to fall into these categories;
1. New user
When a new user, someone who's not joined any or just a small # (3 or less, or some other reasonable small #) it probably makes sense to give them these default views, first Public and then My...though we could improve this slightly with the addition that When a user is logged in, the default view is indeed My Communities
2. Not so new user
We'd figure this out by something clever, but regardless, in this case, I've been trying to think of why this person would come to the communities page...and I have a few scenarios
a. they want to search or otherwise find a community - so we need to make searching and tag filtering front and center
b. they would love to see a roll up of things that have gone on in their communities, so that they get info at a glance that would help them decide to look further, or not. Today we just have this My Communities page that lists by most recent update
3. Passionate Contributor
This is someone who's interested in one or more topics, in the community (or communities) – they want to get a pulse for what is going on, detailed pulse, in the places they are passionate about. And of course, they especially want to see things going on around contributions they've made.
4. Owners
They need to maintain and manage, as well as encourage their communities. They also want to know how well they are reaching their audience, how well they are serving their members...and they want to seek out new members, find more people that would be interested in their community.
5. Expert advice seeker
This person needs to get content and find people who have useful information around some topic or area this person is seeking.
For each of us, we probably fall into more that one of these categories and I believe that we can do a service to each of these categories with the right kind of landing page experience and actions.
Let's look at the needs in bullet form:
1. list of communities (public ones)
2. abstract info (tags, description, perhaps size) about the community
3. what is hot – where is there a lot of action going on
4. needs to be easy/obvious on how to engage – not just being able to join easily but engage (like respond to a forum topic)
5. what is here that pertains to me, what is here that I care about
So this means we need to emphasize;
Public communities – not my communities
Community business card on hover to give feel for how this all works
better detail in list views;
a. logo (mini logo)
b. title
c. description
Encourage people to join from this UI
using the work of SaND (things related to me in some way) emphasize those communities
What is my network doing here – or people in my org, show me those communities
Not so new user
Communities I am a member of
Communities I am following
What my network is doing
what's hot/what's going on in these communities
Doesn't want to see so much detail (meta data, desc, tags) about these communities, but rather, show me the latest action (like last 3 things that happened – of interest, not member junk so much (unless it's someone in my network), show me things like forum/files/activity/wiki actions
Passionate Contributor
So similar to the Not so new user, but the top most things need to be around the stuff I am very interested in...so maybe we need to emphasize the forum topics you've created and has been responded to, or files you've added, and not so much the communities per-se – the list views here may be better served to show content and action on that content, and secondarily show you which communities these came from
Top most stuff...the communities I own
What's been happening, maybe more emphasis on the amount of stuff that's gone on recently
Also, are there any pressing actions I need to take (like respond to requests to join? Flagged content? Moderation duties?)
Give me a search query and result roll up that let's me see relevant content, relevant people and relevant communities, each area and of course, the intersection of these three areas...allow me to learn as much as I can here and then, let me dive into an area (pivot) when it seems like it may be well suited to my needs
Let's look at some simple page layouts that meet these needs
For the newbie, we see the list of Public Communities and each community in the list shows the logo, (in a large size), the community name, description and tags, and then if there are any people in the community this person knows...as well as showing any actions they can take (like join).
Also we show recommended communities and what the people in the newbie's network are doing here in the community space.
For the Not so new user and the Passionate contributor, we have;
Here these users would land on "My Communities�, and instead of seeing an reiteration of the description, etc for each community they instead would see a few of the most recent things that happened in the community. Also, we show a smaller logo, they just need to identify the community, the logo can be less prominent here. They could even hover over one of these action links to see a little more in this view so they could decide to jump into the community to investigate more. Also, this list of most recent would be weighted to show responses to any particular content that was contributed by the user viewing, (i.e., I would see responses to things I said or did in the community).
Now, for owners, we have;
Here, owners would see My Communities view too..and would have a filter to show, "Communities I own� - now, we can't default to this view on landing, BUT, we could do something like save that filter setting ("show just communities I own�) so that when I revisit this page, it remembers that I have that filter checked.
The thing here is we also use the condensed view of the community with smaller logo and just title. Like the previous UI, we show the 3 most recent actions (and weighted to this particular user) – but we also add in two other things. First, some statistics, about membership changes, content contribution and view count. We also let them know if there any outstanding actions they need to address, like membership requests or things like content moderation, or whatever.
Finally, the "seeker� needs to see results for their query, but, we should also wrap that in the same kind of experience where they can discover more...
Here we see a list of results for this query, and we also see the community related to the result (where the user can click to go to the community OR hover to get the community business card to pop) and also the relevant people, with their business cards available as well.
So, now it's your turn. I'd love to hear what you think about this kind of landing page experience for communities.

"I was surprisingly impressed with this Can't Help the Way I Feel,. I ended up being really, really pleasantly surprised. Unlike other erotic anthologies, this book focuses a lot on the plot. There isn't any short story with a barely-there plot and lots of sex. Instead, the stories have lots of plot and lots of sex. In most stories, there are multiple sex scense within a single story, and all of the stories have really unique plots that I never would have thought about for a sex story. It's actually really great, and for that reason, I found myself absorbed in each one of the stories. It's almost like reading a very short book that happens to have in it; except this book contains multiple instances of those very-short books. It's really unique, very creative, and a lot of fun to read." —Pop My Cherry Reviews

The US Dollar is on a roll, and is currently trading at the highest rate compared to the Mexican peso in over a year.
While prices in Mexico have increased due to federal tax hikes, the US dollar still goes further with this appreciation. For example an entree at Taste Restaurant which costs $279 pesos, is often translated at the dated rate of 10:1 meaning people think it is $27.90 USD. In fact, as of today's retail exchange rate of about 13.3:1, that would be under $21.
Mixed drinks in PV bars can still be had for $75 pesos or less, or under $6! Drink specials bring that down a bit more. So a night out is half the price of some big US cities.
It's a great time to vacation in Mexico!

GLENDALE, AZ - DECEMBER 29: Alexandre Burrows #14 of the Vancouver Canucks in action during the NHL game against the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena on December 29, 2009 in Glendale, Arizona. The Coyotes defeated the Canucks 3-2 in an overtime shootout. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
Did Alexandre Burrows bite Patrice Bergeron during Game 1 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final? The referees then said no, but the Bruins — and the team's fans — knew better. So when the B's and Canucks took the ice for Game 2, after Boston suffered a last-second defeat to Vancouver in the opening game, it quickly became clear that these two teams did not like each other. That mutual dislike, however, translated into some pretty exciting hockey. Hoping to avoid another 0-2 hole in a playoff series, the Bruins gave Roberto Luongo and Co. everything they could handle, heading into overtime with a chance to even the series. Tune in at 8 p.m. on Thursday for all the action, and be sure to join the conversation on social media by using the #Bruins2011 hashtag during the broadcast. Also, keep an eye out for more upcoming NESN broadcasts of games from the Bruins' historic Stanley Cup run.

Things to do in London: Ice skate at the National History Museum
Published: Thursday 12th of November 2009
Visitors to London can embrace winter at the Natural History Museum Ice Rink, which opened last week.
The 1,050 sq m ice rink is on the museum's east lawn and an ice bridge links it to a junior rink for younger skaters.
There is a viewing platform where those not in the mood for skating can watch friends and family skate or enjoy a hot chocolate or a glass of mulled wine in the Cafe Bar.
Skating sessions last for an hour and visitors are advised to arrive 30 minutes before their session to collect their skates.
The ice rink will be at the museum until January 17th.
South Kensington is the closest tube stop to the museum but many London attractions and other things to see in London are within walking distance.
The Royal Albert Hall, built in 1871 as a multipurpose building to host not only music concerts but exhibitions, public meetings, scientific conversations and award ceremonies, is just a ten minute walk from the museum.
Save time and money sightseeing in London with free entry to top attractions in London.

Cricket Expert & Columnist @BumbleCricket
Don't believe the hype
Bumble expects a fantastic World Cup Final if the players don't get carried away in the hysteria.
Last Updated: 31/03/11 1:30pm
I put money on Sri Lanka to win the World Cup back in December, so I've got to stick with them in the World Cup Final.
But I'm afraid there's two players that could test my money in Saturday's heavyweight showdown against India: Yuvraj Singh and Sachin Tendulkar.
There will be a great performance from somebody in this final and half the world probably wants it to be Sachin on his home ground. I'm sure the Sri Lankans are just as desperate that his poles will go flying first ball and if I want to win my bet I might need to lock him up somewhere or try to convince him the game's in Kolkata!
But for me, Yuvraj has been the man of the tournament with bat and ball and he could be very influential. It is not a big boundary in Mumbai, so I'm expecting high scores and plenty of sixes.
From a Sri Lankan point of view, they'll be looking to Mahela Jayawardene, one of my favourite cricketers, and my mate Muttiah Muralitharan. He's had injury worries, but knowing him they'll stick a needle in him and he'll go out and perform.
I'm expecting all sorts of drama because there's not a lot between the two sides. You'd probably say Virender Sehwag and Tendulkar shade it over Tillakaratne Dilshan and Upul Tharanga as openers, but then at number three I'd say Kumar Sangakkara shades it against Gautam Gambhir.
In the end, it could come down to a test of the two captains.
In terms of wicket-keeping, Sangakkara is outplaying MS Dhoni at the moment but both of these guys know how to play the conditions and that will be worth its weight in gold. I'll be looking very closely at how they work the field and the bowlers on Saturday.
Both teams seem to be peaking at the right time, but there's always the possibility that somebody might freeze. You only have to look at Wednesday's game between India and Pakistan for an example of that. Everybody thought Umar Gul would be the influential bowler, but the lad froze.
There is an awful lot of hype here with a million-and-one programmes on the telly with blokes talking about cricket. In fact, I've been watching programmes about tigers and snakes on National Geographic to try and get away from it all!
The players need to step back from the hype and try to perform on the day. In the distant past when I was involved, I always felt the pressure game was the semi-final and things were a bit easier when you got to the final.
If you're a coach you need to try and keep things calm. The players will be pulled from pillar to post for interviews and opinions and the staff need to drum it into them that this is just another game (which it obviously isn't...)
These players have worked so hard to get here, they must make sure they savour it. If it were me I'd have three words up on the board in the dressing room: ENJOY THE DAY.
Hold off the hysteria
There has been a bit too much hysteria on some of the websites I've been looking at.
People are talking about a power shift to the sub-continent and they're readily finding excuses to slag off Australia and England. That disappoints me and I don't think there's any need for it.
Forget about all of that; just enjoy what is going to be a fantastic final to a fantastic tournament. Why not rejoice in what you've got instead of trying to put other people down?
As an Englishman I'm thrilled that both of the World Cup Finalists are coming to England this summer and in the greatest sporting manner, we will be looking to turn them over. It's brilliant for us in the UK that India and Sri Lanka are coming to our shores and those will be contests to enjoy.
One other point. There have been a lot of complaints in India about DRS throughout this tournament.
I bet they've changed their minds after the Pakistan game....
In the box and on the box
The commentary line-up for the World Cup Final is as follows:
Ravi Shastri
Sunil Gavaskar
Sourav Ganguly
Sanjay Manjrekar
Russel Arnold
Tom Moody
Nasser Hussain
David Lloyd
If you're watching in the UK I can assure you that the coverage from Sky Sports will have all the bells and whistles on Saturday. David Gower will present from a studio at the ground and he'll be joined by Sir Ian Botham, Michael Atherton and the crew. We'll have extra cameras and it will be similar to what you'd see on a day's cricket in England.
I did three-in-a-row commentary for the first time ever in the semi-final (usually it's just two of us at a time) and it seemed to work well. It was a brave move to do it for such a big game, but I was happy with how it went.
The broadcast disciplines here are very demanding because there are so many adverts. It' s impossible to describe how many there are during a game and we simply don't have the time to debate a point, we just call it.
Thankfully, back in the UK the Sky Sports production team do a great job to ensure it's all seamless when it goes to your screens. Full marks to them.
Pumped up
In other news, I've now been dry for six weeks. I've not had a beer the whole time I've been out here.
I've been in the gym every day pumping iron like you wouldn't believe. I reckon I now look like Popeye.
I must say I'm delighted to be coming home next week, but there's no rest for the wicked. I get back to the UK on April 3 and I move house on April 4.
Anyone fancy lending me a van or a pair of hands?

Baked Red Snapper
|Red snapper
|2 (Of Your Choice)
|Olive oil
|2 Tablespoon
|1 , juiced
|Garlic cloves
|1 Tablespoon, minced (Handful)
|Parsley bunch
|1 Small, chopped
|Black pepper salt
|To Taste
|1 Tablespoon
|1 Tablespoon
|2 Medium, sliced
1. Although I got the fish already washed and prepared for cooking at the grocery store, but I washed with water, then I rubbed Olive Oil and Lemon Juice all over the fish and inside too to get rid of the fishy smell.
2. Usually if the fish is fresh it will not smell bad at all, but I still wash it this way.
3. Prepare the filling by chopping up the parsley and mincing the garlic, add olive oil, mix in the cumin and sumac.
4. Fill the fish with the parsley and garlic mix inside the cavity.
5. Put the sliced onions in the bottom of the baking pan, the onions prevents the fish from sticking to the pan and adds nice flavor to the recipe.
6. Coat it with spray oil or you may use olive oil.
7. Place the fish on top of the onions and bake in a 200 degrees Celsius oven for 12-15 minutes until the fish becomes flaky.
8. Do not overcook otherwise the fish becomes too dry.
9. Serve warm with fresh bread. Bon Appétit!

Although I am not a racer, Baja Designs is very much a racer generated company; our owner and head engineer has raced motorcycles all the way to class 1 race cars in Baja and many other locations. We pride ourselves on the fact that we test and aim lights for all of our race teams and try to assist and educate all of our customers with the same information. Baja Designs is not only a racer and enthusiast company, but as many of you know we are an engineering based company. It has taken countless years of research & development to ensure that LED lighting is actually race worthy and safe for users. Two or Three years ago this was only a dream and we would agree that LED lighting would have been a, "boutique add-on"; you would out run the light and it didnt throw enough distance to be main forward lighting. Color temperature plays a huge role in the functionality of any light, in some cases the wrong color temp can lead to driver/rider fatigue and basically would be unsafe for racers. We have found through testing in the harshest conditions, environments, and terrain possible that 5000k (kelvin) is visually receptive to most human eyes. After countless scientific tests of the Kelvin scale it has been found that it accurately resembles the sun at noon on a perfect day (no weather conditions). LED technology like many other technologies is advancing and continuing to become more efficient, but the color temperatures of LEDs has and will continue to be accurate to the Kelvin Color temperature scale. Overall, we at Baja Designs would never let anyone, enthusiast or racer alike use a light if we didn't believe it was not only safe, but would give a competitive advantage. The Squadron and OnX have shown the amazing possibilities of LED technology, the Squadron was used by many Factory teams at the Baja 1000 during dusk and the OnX was used by many including Factory KTM as the first all LED motorcycle race set-up landing them second place behind JCR Honda. LED lighting is the future and it is already here with testimonials from around the world, it is an exciting time with the release of the OnX, it is the first time the distance of an HID has been achieved with the spread of an LED. Please forgive me if this was too much or in any way repetitive, this is something we are passionate about and love the opportunity to speak openly with enthusiasts. So, we at BD would have to respectfully disagree with that statement and ask those racers to please call us for testing :). Thank you for the information and question, you always have great ones cyborg! As always we will continue to create as much educational material as possible to be passed along and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Thanks for the excellent response Mike!
I'll use that to spank those guys next time I see them.

I had bought Click On My Hyperpink & fell in luv w the color coz to me it reminds me of MAC St Germain, then I went back to kmart & bought the rest one of every color they offered & I did not like the others so I kept Hyperpink & I Can Bare It. I wish I hadn't thrown the others away. I did toss them coz I was disgusted by working w them how difficult it was but I found a new color today at kmart called Pink Perfection that is nice. The other colors weren't colors I normally wore anyways they were more bright/darks & I am a neutral/pink lady so I hate throwing away makeup, it's like throwing away money but I couldn't remove these glosses until I discovered Sephora's long wearing lipstick remover. It is $5 & oil based so it helps get that gluey feeling off ur lips. I like the 3 I have now, I will use them on a regular basis but I prob won't buy any more colors. I like Stila liquid lipsticks much better. These ARE long wearing hence the 4 lippies but color selection sux coz it's mostly vampy colors. Also it wears off unevenly & it feels tight on ur lips. It's def not a lipgloss. I've not tried any other long wearing lipsticks besides Stila, CG Outlast, & Max Factor Lipfinity the last 2 I did not really think were all that they were way more expensive than the wnw & had that stupid oily top coat. I would like to try ABH, but I don't have a spare $20 at the moment or LimeCrime (God NO not after the scandal), LA Splash, or Jeffree Star but all of those u have to order online & wnw is in my price range & conveniently located at my local kmart lol. These are definitely unique in that they don't transfer much. Wnw could improve them. Wish there were some frosty colors & more pale colors/neutrals too. But if ur verging on a no-buy then these are budget-friendly & a nice DS-pick-me-up if ur feeling meh.

I have several of these and I love them all. I think most people who don't like these are mistaking them for a lip gloss, which they are not. They are very similar to the OCC Lip Tars in that they are very pigmented and a little goes a long way. I have to say that the matte colors are better, in my opinion, but that may just be personal preference. The pigmentation is amazing and they really do stay put. I can eat, drink, and talk talk talk with these on and barely have to touch up (only if I've been eating something messy and been wiping my lips a lot). The key is to use as little product as possible, blot it until there is no transfer and it isn't sticky anymore and not put anything on top of it or it will go all sticky again. You just have to know how to work with it.

I don't like this new lip gloss. It's good until it dries on your lips but if you use chap stick on your lips after it dries or is still sticky its perfectly good.

I have this product in "Raisin' the roof" and my first impression was that it was the most beautiful color I'd seen in quite some time! However, during application and wear, I knew I had made a mistake. First of all, I had a very difficult time getting the product even on my lips- due, I think, to it drying so fast. But then I noticed that the more I applied, the product started to get clumpy, so I eventually just left it.
This is not an applicator issue, this product has a applicator I normally really love & works for me, but it couldn't fix this mess. Immediately after drying completely, the product began to flake slightly on my inner lip, and dried my lips so much they began to pucker. I knew then I would not wear this product on my lips ever again. It still looked pretty ok, so I decided to wear it anyway.
(Note: I applied balm about an hour previous- then applied product when the balm wore off, so my lips were neither dry nor was this product applied over lip balm.)
After 1 & 1/2 hours of wear, product was hanging in long strips over my lips, only attached by the outside edges :-( I removed with tweezers, because I had swatched on my hand the previous day, & my makeup remover (oil-based) had done nothing but make a bigger mess. This product is not for me. Because I hate to waste things, though, I intend to use this as a skin crayon, because it seems to work ok for that for me.
Edit: I'm finding this product removes pretty well with lip balm. So there's that.

I'm hoping I can clear up the issues with this product. I have 4 of these (Rose to the Occasion, Cherry on Top, High Pitched Wine, and Click on my Hyperpink) and truly think they're on par with mid to high end liquid lip colors. The only difference I've really noticed between these and, say, Stila's, is the sticky feeling you get after application with these, which can easily be remedied!
Exfoliating and moisturizing is a good idea, but not a necessity. I do try to moisturize and then wipe off the excess so my lips won't crack as much ideally, but sometimes forget. I apply as carefully as I can (sometimes I use the ELF concealer brush for $1, very small and great as a lip brush, and sometimes I just use the applicator) - you must be quick to fix any errors as it will dry quickly. Only do one layer, no more. Let it dry, do not put your lips together, and once it's mostly dry, you'll probably notice it's still sticky and uncomfortable. BLOT YOUR LIPS UNTIL THERE IS NO TRANSFER. Focus especially between your lips at the edges - this is where I get the most transfer.
After blotting, you should have zero transfer to anything. I blot with tissues until I get no transfer and then blot a little more, and then do a test on the back of my hand. I'm set for the rest of the day from there. No sticky feeling, no "cement" feeling, etc. Yes, it is a bit drying, as it is a matte liquid lip color, but nothing that can't be dealt with - I think my lips feel better than they do with nothing on, and I have very dry lips.
Basically, blotting is the key! These are highly pigmented and great for the price, and I'd recommend them to anybody and everybody. I can't wait to pick up the rest of the colors. :)

So far, I have 'Iris I Was Rich,' 'Pocketful of Roses,' and 'Red My Mind.' I have a separate review for Red My Mind because god darn, it is my all time favorite lipstick! I have two other red lippies, Spotlight Red from Wet n Wild as well and Spicy from NYX. Those two never leave the shelf anymore. The ultra pigmentation and matte finish wins me over completely. As for the other two colors that are much more neutral, pinky-toned and seem to have a little shimmer on it, I like em' too but not quite as much as Red My Mind. They are both divineeeeee colors, but I find that the little hints of glitter make it all the more drying and stiff. The colors really win you over though. 'Iris I Was Rich' (excuse my inconsistent use of ') is a super neutral nude that has a slight frosty finish on the brown side. One of those lippies than could benefit from a layer of gloss. 'Pocketful of Roses' is a dupe for NYX's 'Natural.' It's a pretty "midi" color (not too neutral not too bold kinda thang).
Although many complain about how tight it can feel on your lips and how you'll never forget that you're wearing lipstick with this stuff on, I actually appreciate that. I've used this product a bunch of times and have only had a problem with a little flaking if I didn't moisturize lips before OR I didn't wait before the first coat dried and applied a second. Call me crazy for going against every other review about this product, but I don't have any problem lip balming before or after.
MY APPLICATION: My lips vary from completely moisturized to very chapped, so I always use lip balm or coconut oil before applying. Then, I apply a lip liner all over my lips. It's an important step for me because it's one less coat of the lip color to apply which can feel heavy after the 2nd coat. I apply the lipstick SPARINGLY and voila! I transform into an exotic Marilyn Monroe (in my wildest dreams). I emphasize sparingly because that may be another factor as to why it cracks/flakes for some people. If you slab on too much, you'll actually get less coverage and a streaky application. If I feel like I didn't get enough coverage or want my lips to be bolder, I let the coat dry and reapply only to the parts that need it (that's why it's a smart idea to lip line). Let it dry and powder if needed.
TAKING IT OFF: Again, I go against every reviewer here. Please no torches and angry pitch forks outside my apartment window. This stuff stays put when you want it to, but it's really easy to take off! The key is coconut oil or olive oil if you don't have that. Just rub it on until you look like a drunken mess with lipstick all over your face then wipe.
Repurchasing! :)

This stuff is the most disgusting lip gloss I've ever encountered. When I first put it on it was fine but that 5 seconds later it got very sticky and gross. The color is very pretty but the product itself is bad.

This was by far the most disgusting lip product I have ever tried before. It felt fine, until it dried into a hard sticky mess! It showed every crease in my lips. I tried to wipe it off and the toilet paper got stuck to my lips! I've used lip balm underneath and lip gloss over, nothing makes this better. Would NEVER buy again or recommend to anybody.

This is much like Max Factor's Lipfinity or Cover Girl's Outlast without the gloss. It STAYS PUT and for that I love this product. The color is fabulous and it lasts and lasts, which is very impressive. I do wish however, it had a bit of gloss to it. That is the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars. I was really hoping for more of a richly pigmented gloss. For the price however, it's fabulous!
Now, let me say to those complaining about the staying power, you need a little experience with semi-permanent lip products. Once you become accustomed to them, you will appreciate them much better. You can remove them with anything that has oil in it, even a lip balm will take it right off. You must also be sparing with it when applying, actually painting it on, insteading of slathering it as you would a gloss, so that it does not crack when it dries.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Accuray Incorporated (Nasdaq: ARAY), a global leader in the field of radiosurgery, announced today that Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia has purchased a CyberKnife(R) Robotic Radiosurgery System. The CyberKnife System at Fox Chase will be the third to be installed in Pennsylvania, and will be housed in a new radiation facility currently under construction in Buckingham, Pa.
Established in 1904 in Philadelphia as the nation's first cancer hospital, Fox Chase is one of the leading cancer research and treatment centers in the United States. Fox Chase houses some of the most sophisticated technology for cancer surgery, radiation and diagnostic imaging.
The CyberKnife System will enable Fox Chase to expand its radiation offerings to patients who may not have been able to tolerate other treatments or have medically inoperable tumors. The CyberKnife System uses its real-time tracking capabilities to deliver with sub-millimeter precision high doses of radiation to tumors, even while they move with respiration. A non-invasive treatment, the CyberKnife System does not require the use of stereotactic frames or painful, uncomfortable respiratory gating techniques. The CyberKnife System also is the first and only robotic radiosurgery system for the treatment of tumors anywhere in the body.
"Fox Chase has a superior reputation for cancer treatment, particularly using radiation, and for its leadership in research to develop new methods for attacking the disease," said Euan S. Thomson, Ph.D., president and CEO of Accuray Incorporated. "We are proud that Fox Chase has recognized the importance of having a dedicated stereotactic radiosurgery device and look forward to working with the Fox Chase research team to continue enhancing the CyberKnife System."

I am speaking on behalf of Dan Dittrich alias Dr. Thunder, to whom I showed and urged to sign up for the review session, which he did purchase on my word that it'd be a great opportunity for him. I just checked all three of the Dobsky and Foster review videos (which is the only review session he signed up for) and he was not featured in any of them. I look a total fool to him now. I hope this is resolved quickly.

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
Call to perfection vs. call to rest before the playoffs
If the Packers secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs, how should they approach the last two regular-season games – be urgent about remaining perfect or rest their key players for the playoffs?
That was the debate on "Fox NFL Sunday."
And it was a debate.
Michael Strahan said Green Bay should go for the perfect season. Jimmy Johnson said the Packers should rest their players for the postseason.
"There is one answer – yes," Strahan said. "Yes. Why not? You are this close. Try to finish. They need to wrap up (home field advantage for the playoffs) first of all. But after that – they win a Super Bowl one year and it's great to win it the next year. But to be perfect? I mean, that's something special. You have to do it. You don't pull back on that."
Johnson's no could not have been more emphatic.
"Nooooooooooooooooo," Johnson said. "You would regret that if you lost the Super Bowl or if you didn't make it to the Super Bowl and you tried to get this undefeated season. The ultimate goal is to win the Super Bowl, not go undefeated. You rest those players. You make sure the injured guys are not playing. You wrap it all up, you keep them all sharp, but you don't go for the undefeated. You go for the Super Bowl."
Howie Long said focus on Denver quarterback Tim Tebow has taken attention away from the Packers' perfect season and some of the pressure.
"Mike McCarthy doesn't coach scared," Long said. "You get the impression with this football team they want to go for it. I think it will come down to the final game and I think he won't have a plan in terms of play a quarter, play a half, play three quarters. I think the flow of the game will dictate whether they go for it or not."
Terry Bradshaw said trying to remain unbeaten in the regular season has an emotional drain on a team.
"I would rather win a Super Bowl than go undefeated," Bradshaw said. "Let Miami have their moment."
Michael Lombardi of the NFL Network also considered the issue.
"With the new rules and the way you can only practice now with no pads and you can't take that bye week to condition your team, you have to go all the way through," Lombardi said. "It didn't hurt New England (in 2007). Indianapolis is a separate entity. That's the way Indianapolis has gone in the preseason. That's the way they behave. For me, you keep going forward, you keep practicing your team – you keep trying to win games because ultimately that's what you want to do."
