Better than a drugstore curler, but spend $3 more and get Trish McEvoy - much better!

I never thought much about eyelash curlers and usually just buy inexpensive ones at Target. But my current one was on its way out, I had a Sephora gift card and didn't want to buy any expensive products I'd get hooked on and not be able to continue to afford, so I "splurged" on this nifty eyelash curler.
It has a very sturdy feel and the clamps shut completely against one another; no spaces or overlap. Never pinches or pulls out lashes. Provides a nice, noticeable degree of curl (not fake status but much better than normal). Pump it on the lashes a couple times to create a stunningly bold bend. I have the gold one, simply because I like the look of it. This curler does not look or feel chintzy. It works very well and I think it will last awhile because it seems solidly built. You get two replacement clamp pads with it.
Would I buy it again without a GC? For $17, probably not. But I'm glad I have it and it's definitely the best one I've had so far.

These work perfectly creating curly lashes that last and these never pinch your skin or pull out lashes.

A really good eyelash curler that doesn't pinch my eyelids (my eye shape is quite flat as I'm asian) and makes a curl without getting the weird/unnatural kinks. I feel like this is in the same league as the Shu Uemura one, except slightly cheaper. The box also comes with 2 replacement pads.
I got the green one and it's super pretty and vibrant and the actual curler feels sturdy.

Although I wish you could buy replacement pads separately without having to purchase a new curler altogether, this is a great eyelash curler. I have it in purple and in addition to being a really pretty colour it curls my lashes naturally and they stay curled ALL DAY (when I'm using one of my favourite waterproof mascaras). My only complaint is that in order to get that pure from-the-base curl, you have to curl from literally the base of your lashes, which tends to remove a bit of eyeliner. A small price to pay for lashes that stay supercurled all day long!

Let me preface this by saying that I have pencil straight eyelashes that go in a downward slope. I've used either Revlon or Maybelline eyelash curlers all my life. Although I like the way they curl my lashes, they sometimes pinch the corners of my lids. So I was on a quest to find something better and choose this one because of the great reviews. I bought the pink which is very pretty and came in a hard plastic box that included an extra set of refills. I asked about refills for purchase and the SA told me that the curler is made to work perfectly for the life of two sets of refills, and after both are worn out a new curler should be purchased.
I've now had this curler for about three weeks and I am a bit disappointed. While this curler generally doesn't pinch my lids like the others, it just doesn't do as great of a job as the others. I press down gently but firmly for about 10 seconds at the base of lashes then go out about 4-5 times to the tips. My lashes simply do not curl much with this curler. I have to go through my entire routine about 3-4 times which is twice as much as the Revlon curler. So at this point, I'm not sure if I'd buy another one.

I like it better than my Shu Uemura curler.
There, I said it. I can't believe I would ever find a curler better suited for my eye than the Shu one but I found it, and for half the price too. I have mine in rose pink and I absolutely love the vibrant color. It catches my eye on my dresser and makes me reach out for it often. The tiny Shu one tugs on my lids but this doesn't at all. Also,this curled my lashes so much better and is a much better fit for my Asian eyelids. Stick straight eyelashes were curled all day, unlike my Shu which I have to press really hard on just to get half the result I get from this baby. I didnt know I had so many lashes!
Love! Would totally repurchase regardless of whether they sell replacement pads or not, in which this case, they don't.

I like the curler itself, but it really irks me that they don't sell replacement pads for it. I have tried some other pads that do fit it, but they don't work as well, and it's also principle for me. I don't like the idea of having to buy a brand new curler when the pad is no longer useable.
If you don't mind having to buy a new curler when the pad goes bad, the curler itself is decent. I have small eyes and it seems to fit them well. It does crimp if you don't make more than one clamp up the lashes, but I think all curlers do that. It also comes in pretty colors.

I love, love, love this eyelash curler. Coupled with my favourite mascara (CoverGirl Clump Crusher) it gives me amazing, fanned out, long lashes that I can't get without the help! And blue is my favourite colour, :)

Schools today face a greater financial need and one individual is stepping up to help.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - At a time when Catholics celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus, their most important of events, the St. Aloysius Gonzaga Academy community is coping with a major loss.
What's the best way to discipline a student?
Many favor the traditional method of punishing students who misbehave, but as Jaime Goldsmith of Bullitt County Public Schools said, simply punishing a student may not always be the best recourse.
And while some might argue that positive reinforcement can be counterproductive, local schools are seeing fewer behavioral incidents among students with Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports or PBIS.
The St Aloysius Archery Team competed in the Regional Tournament at Moore High School on Saturday, March 3.
Four shooters qualified to continue on to the State Competition.
Reagan Geary placed 1st in her division, Faith Oakley placed 5th in her division, Dallon Burke placed 4th in his division, and Jordan Jarboe placed 4th in her division.
The State Tournament will be held on April 2-3 at the Kentucky Convention Center.
Congratulations to those four shooters and good luck at the State Competition.
Students at Shepherdsville and Nichols Elementary are preparing early to say no to drugs and alcohol.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - Like the hills and hollows Bullitt East High School English teacher Deshia Harris knew so well growing up in eastern Kentucky, her path to success has had its highs and lows.
CLERMONT - Victoria Wright considers an outdoor classroom a natural educational environment.
Students at Hebron Middle School recently got a little Reality Check thanks to a program that puts them into the real world of finance.
The Reality Store allows students to take their money and then decide how they are going to spend it.
They have options on some of their disposable income but they are also have some items that they must purchase... such as paying for shelter and food.
The students were assisted by members of the North Bullitt Future Business Leaders of American chapter, who worked at the tables.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - When it comes to being an educator, Crossroads Elementary kindergarten teacher Carla Wilson has a simple philosophy: love what you do.
After 17 years in education Wilson, 41, still loves what she does and it has not gone unnoticed.
For her passion and commitment to education, Wilson was recently named Bullitt County Public School's 2012 Elementary School Teacher of the Year.

Liston, USA claim gold at World University Games
Behind an outstanding defensive performance, the USA Basketball Women's Team (6-0), which includes Duke senior Tricia Liston, never trailed and kept Russia at a distance for most of the second half on its way to claiming the gold medal in the World University Games with a 90-71 victory on Monday night.
The USA (6-0) has won three consecutive gold medals and nine overall at the World University Games.
Liston, a native of River Forest, Ill., saw only six minutes of action but scored two points and had three rebounds. The 6-1 guard finished the World University Games averaging 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists.
She tied for the team high with nine 3-pointers made, which tied for fourth in the Games, and hit a team-high 42.9 percent from outside the arc.
"It is awesome," Liston said of winning the gold medal. "There are no words really to describe it, especially having my parents here with me. To meet all these girls, being able to put a team together so fast and do something so special and represent our country; it is an awesome feeling to have."
Bria Hartley (UConn) led the charge for the USA, scoring a game-high 17 points on 6-of-7 shooting from the field including 2-of-3 on 3-point attempts. Crystal Bradford (Central Michigan) and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis (UConn) added 16 and 15 points, respectively, while World University Games Co-MVP Odyssey Sims (Baylor) contributed 10 points and three assists.
Sims, who averaged 12.7 points per game and a competition-best 5.3 assists per game, shared MVP honors with Russia's Tatiana Grigoryeva.
The USA limited Russia to just 41.6 percent shooting (27-65 FGs) and 31.4 percent in the first half (11-35 FGs), and forced 20 turnovers, which led to 27 U.S. points.
"We had a defensive game plan that our kids executed beautifully," said USA coach Sherri Coale, who guides the University of Oklahoma. "They did a tremendous job defensively against a team that is very hard to guard."
Getting off to a quick start, the USA built a 13-3 lead with just under four minutes left in the first quarter after a Jordan Hooper (Nebraska) jump shot. Making her first start of the competition, Hooper played a critical role in the USA building an early lead, as she scored seven points and reeled in four rebounds in the opening quarter.
Russia tightened the score to 19-13 before Mosqueda-Lewis hit a 3-pointer to end the scoring in the first period with the USA ahead 22-13.
Russia started the second quarter strongly, going on an 8-3 run that prompted Coale to call a timeout with 7:46 remaining and the USA lead cut to 25-21.
Mosqueda-Lewis nailed another 3-pointer to stop the run, and the USA outscored Russia 16-6 over the remainder of the half, including eight points and two 3-pointers from Bradford.
"I'm coming off the bench to bring a spark and intensity into the game, and that's what I knew I had to do," Bradford said of her contributions to the USA's 41-27 halftime lead. "I'm just happy that I could do that for my team."
Despite falling behind by as many as 15 points after halftime, Russia began to build some momentum midway through the third quarter and scored four straight points to cut the U.S. lead to 50-42 with 5:14 left in the period.
Hartley immediately answered, however, hitting a 3-pointer assisted by Ariel Massengale (Tennessee) 10 seconds later to put the USA back up 11 points. Russia would not bring its deficit to single digits again.
"It's an unexplainable feeling," Bradford said about how she felt when the final horn sounded. "I wouldn't want to have it with anyone but these 11 girls. I think everybody on this team deserved it. We all worked hard. The best feeling is it wasn't given to us. We worked for it, so to say we deserved it is huge."
With 32 assists for the competition, Sims broke the previous assist mark by a U.S. player at the World University Games of 30 held by Kamie Ethridge (1985) and Suzie McConnell (1987).
Since 1973, the first year the USA women competed in the WUGs, the United States has compiled a 101-15 record.

Eating Out
Do You Remember Hojo's?
Sort of waxing nostalgic here. As a kid, going to Howard Johnson's was cool . They had the regular dining room, a counter with stools, and 28 flavors of ice cream. Kind of predated the fast food explosion.
There's only a few left, and one is is Lake Placid, not too far from here.
One of my students told me he went there last night and said the food sucked. I don't know, haven't been there in years, but it probably did.
So much for nostalgia......

CLU holds back La Verne, 59-34, to clinch share of SCIAC title
Kingsmen in position for fourth straight SCIAC title
It was billed as the annual "Blackout Game" because the Cal Lutheran football team was sporting its black jersey tops.
But it could have described La Verne's mental state after the first half or CLU's mental state after the second half.
CLU let a 38-0 halftime lead dwindle as La Verne ran roughshod over the Kingsmen in the final two quarters.
But No. 8 CLU held on to defeat the Leopards 59-34 andclinch at least a share of its fourth straight Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title on Saturday night at William Rolland Stadium.
Senior wide receiver Eric Rogers caught three touchdown passes and threw another as CLU (7-1, 6-0) extended its SCIAC winning streak to 26 games.
La Verne's Matt Biggers overshadowed Rogers by rushing for 256 of his 304 yards in the second half to help La Verne mount a rally.
It only took until CLU's first possession of the game for Rogers to add another record to his legacy.
Rogers caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from Zach Shultis to become CLU's all-time scoring leader. His three touchdowns pushed his career total to 248 points.
The Kingsmen increased their advantage to 14-0 when Shultis found Pablo Torres for a 3-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter.
Shultis found Rogers twice more for touchdowns in the first half on passes of 35 and 21 yards.
Rogers then displayed his diversity by throwing for a touchdown instead of catching one. He completed a 26-yard touchdown pass toDonald Senegal with one second remaining in the half to give CLU a commanding 38-0 lead.
But La Verne (3-5, 3-3) came out strong in the second half, scoring on the opening drive on a 63-yard touchdown run by Biggers.
The third quarter featured the return of CLU quarterback Kevin Ramay, who had missed the last three games with a hand injury.
The senior threw an interception on his first drive, and La Verne converted the turnover into points when Biggers scored on a 14-yard run to cut CLU's lead to 38-13.
The teams continued to trade touchdowns throughout the final quarter.
CLU senior defensive back Broc Galbreth thwarted a La Verne drive with a diving interception that led to a CLU score.
But La Verne answered by recovering a fumble by CLU running back Danny Azhocar that resulted in a 13-yard touchdown run by Biggers — his fourth of the half.
After giving up 534 yards and 38 points last weekend against Whittier, CLU's defense allowed 563 yards, including 443 rushing, against La Verne.
Rogers finished with seven catches for 98 yards for CLU. Freshman Romello Goodman rushed 19 times for 153 yards.
Shultis was 18 of 29 for 209 yards and four touchdowns while Ramay was 5 of 11 for 62 yards.
CLU will attempt to finish undefeated in SCIAC for thefourth straight season when it hosts Chapman in the regular-season finale next Saturday.

Fun and laughter,feelings of a master,
smiling faces,going places
money to burn,things to learn,
lovely flat,lovely home,
safe inside a comfort zone.
Good clothes,good bones,good mobile phones,
feeling sweet ,life complete,
life getting faster, no thaughts of disaster,
a need to get higher,feeling on fire,
multi coloured lights,no signs of fights,
cannabis today,cocaine tommorow,
who knows after that which buzz will follow.
Introduction to new people,
life it seems it seems so simple,
working all week so my weekends are free,
concoction of drugs and a 48 hour party,
all drugs are on tick ill pay next week,
loving being on that ultimate peak.
Begin the chasing with frustration,
that ultimate high money can buy,
monday mornings allways daunting,
chewing the fat becoming slack,
struggle through with no point of view,
loss of my job i begin to screw,
now works missing my life starts slipping.
Jeckel and hyde,loss of pride,
hot and cold sweats,acumalating debts,
on a roll,spiral out of control,
all the things i never wanted to see,
leave behind my family,
Start selling things like girlfriends rings,
never caring,never sharing,
waking up with beasts, girls with no teeth,
sweat pouring when i should be snoring,
on the street,blisters on feet,
all alone and insecure,
is this really what ive paid for?
Sleeping around on strangers floors,
glad just to be behind the safety of a door,
life damaged,life unmanaged,

Shadow running,paranoia bugging,

a life of crime now serving time,

The Profile of
the Guinean Born Liberian-Keita Mandjou
Personal information
Full name Keita Mandjou
Date of birth -November 28, 1979 (1979-11-28)
(age 29)
Place of birth -Guinea
Height -1.86 m (6 ft 1 in)
Playing position -Attacking Midfielder/Forward
Club information
Current club Portland Timbers
Number -10
As Liberia prepares for the new breed of Lone
Star aimed at booking a place in the 2012 nations cup as well as other
major International competitions, more Liberian footballers are coming
to the fore who are showcasing their talents in some professional
With Sekou Jabateh Oliseh discovered in Russia
with CSKA Moscow, Edmond and Desmond Chappy doing well with Norwegian
second division club, Valdres FK., Alex Jackson in Australia with
Adelaide Omonia FC commonly known as Adelaide Cobras., Mohammed Soto
in France as well as Quincy Johnson also on top of his game with first
division outfit, Leaonidas football club in Rotterdam, Holland and
the list is endless, another player, who is considered national goal
scorer in the form of Keita Mandjou has also been discovered and wants
to help Liberia make amends in International competitions.
Below is a bit of the player who was born in
Guinea, but wants to play for the country he belong to, Liberia.
Keita Mandjou (born November 28, 1979) is a
Guinean born Liberian professional footballer who currently plays for
Portland Timbers in the USL First Division.
Mandjou began his professional career in Malaysia
with Perak FA, making his debut on September 12, 2004 against PKNS FC.
He impressed Perak's fans so much that he was carried off the pitch by
two jubilant fans after the match. He went on to play a key role in
Perak's Malaysian FA Cup winning team, which led to his contract being
renewed for the 2005 season.
Mandjou won the Golden Boot award for the 2006
season, scoring 17 goals. He was one of the three nominees for the
Favorite Import Player award in the inaugural Malaysian football
awards but he did not win.
He was linked with a move away from the club to
Indonesian team Persija Jakarta in 2007, but did not let those rumors
affect his on-pitch performance, and ended up Perak's top scorer once
again for the 2006/2007 season.
Mandjou was released from his contract at the end
of the 2007 season due to "family issues", and after attending trials
with French side FC Lorient. He signed with Bruneian side Brunei DPMM
FC, and played one season for them in the Singaporean S. League.
In January 2009, Mandjou signed with the Portland
Timbers in the USL First Division. Mandjou's preferred playing
position is as a striker, but he can also operate in midfield behind
the front two.
Mandjou was a member and captain of the Guinea
U-23 national team, but the goal scorer is now eager to showcase his
talent for his motherland, Liberia.

Mac Specs: PowerMac G5 1.8 mhz single proc.
I just bought (Yesterday) a PAL CANON MVX350i. Seems like a great camera, BUT I cannot get it to be recognized in the newest version of iMovie. Latest update done... I have also installed the software that came with the camera for OSX, but just seems to be for the digital photo part of things.
I have not found it on any compatibility lists, BUT according to several forums I read in Sweden, all Canon cameras should work, and it was even recommended on the MacUser UK site and reviewed! I am at wit's end about what to do...
I am an experienced Mac user (since 1987) and have used countless Sony cameras in FCPRO and iMovie without a glitch.
I want to keep the camera, but I can't get the footage into the computer... A 2 week old G5 running the latest system software.
any help appreciated. And my sympathies to others with this problem. ALSO, iMovie won't quit, just hangs.

2.0 out of 5 stars Had a hard time finishing it,
This review is from: Sex on the Moon: The Amazing Story Behind the Most Audacious Heist in History (Hardcover)
With the subject matter one would think that the book would be easy to finish, but I struggled on to the end and if the book wasn't a book club book I probably wouldn't have finished it. I'm having a hard time placing why it was so difficult to finish. I think it had to do with seeing, except the small details, where exactly to book was heading and because of that there wasn't much excitement in it. Another point is that I really didn't like seeing a person throw their life away and so wouldn't recommend this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Portrait of a Thrill Seeker's Sociopath Compulsions and Self-Justifications,
Donald Mitchell "Jesus Loves You!" (Thanks for Providing My Reviews over 127,000 Helpful Votes Globally) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sex on the Moon: The Amazing Story Behind the Most Audacious Heist in History (Hardcover)
"No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren!" -- 1 Corinthians 6:8 (NKJV)
I recommend that you don't read this book.
Let me caution you that I'm going to reveal details about Sex on the Moon that could reduce your enjoyment of it. If you intend to read the book, don't read any more of this review.
Frankly, I wish this book had never been written. It gives Thad Roberts more notoriety and more attention than he deserves. I wouldn't be surprised if some thrill-seeking young people read this book and feel inspired to be "smarter" versions of Thad Roberts so that they can get away with the kinds of things he did . . . rather than get caught. That would be a great shame.
I also found the book to be over hyped in every aspect, from its title to the impressions that it gives of who Thad Roberts is and what he did. As an example, if having sex with a woman you met a month earlier who is not your wife while a small sample of moon rocks are tucked in a secure container safely below the mattress is your idea of "sex on the moon," then you'll like this book a lot better than I did.
Researchers have found a strong relationship between youngsters being able to defer pleasure and the ability to accomplish more as adults. They often test children by putting a marshmallow or a piece of candy in front of them. The children have permission to eat right away . . . but they are also told that they will get double the treat if they can wait a few minutes. Some children stuff the food into their mouths immediately. That's a pretty good picture of the self control that Thad Roberts applied in his adult life before being sent to prison (where he certainly belongs). In the experiments, such youngsters don't do well as adults. Those who defer pleasure as youngsters do a lot better as adults than those who cannot.
The only thing that I found to be unusual about this book is that Roberts was willing to share so many of his self-serving self-justifications with Mr. Mezrich. As a result, readers can appreciate the kind of twisted "logic" that someone in a position of trust uses to do wrong things. To me, the book's best use is as a case history for students taking classes in criminal psychology.
Describing this book as an "amazing story" of "the most audacious heist in history" is ridiculous. Roberts was a student intern in a program where he did simple tasks for NASA. As a result, he was trusted to behave properly. Such work doesn't require the high degree of security or secrecy such as is associated with national intelligence or weaponry. Interns don't get near such activities. I would characterize what happened here as the "ridiculous story" of the "most obnoxious heist in NASA history."
By building the hype for this story and in the ways the book is written, Thad Roberts is portrayed much more positively than he deserves. Roberts does hang himself with his own words and writing . . . but I really didn't need to read all the ways that he tries to justify what he did.
Spend your time reading something constructive instead.

Breed Rating (4 Reviews)
The Satin guinea pig is so named because it has a glossy, reflective coat that is fine and silky. Its distinctive feature is its hair type, it has a hollow hair shaft which allows the light to pass through it and give it its unique sheen. The Satin is another relatively new breed, being first imported from America in 1986.
The Satin gene is a recessive gene, and Satins should never be bred to each other, but mated with a solid colour, or a solid colour carrying the satin gene. Satins do not tend to be as long-lived as other breeds of guinea pigs, but they are popular as they are so attractive.
Almost every self colour has now been satinised. Attempts have also been made to satinise other breeds too, such as the Agouti and Dalmatian.

I love mine - Jess, 22 November 2014
I have a satin guineapig, and have had him for 3 years now. No health problems so far (touch wood). He's very friendly and social and is fearless around the house. Loud noises will startle but he often investigates after he makes sure it's safe to do so. My guinea pig lives in a hutch in my room and has a play pen in my office as he lives alone. He did have a hutch mate but continued to fight viciously with him. So for the safety of both the other was given back to the breeder. If you have a lot of time and love to give, these critters love are social and will talk to you all day, they love being brushed and are happy to sit on your lap so long as they are given regular pats and treats.

a pet good for kids 9 and up - Britteny, 27 November 2010
This is a good pet for a person who has never owned a guinea pig before. They are shy at first but will worm up to you after awhile. If your kids are younger than nine never give them this breed of guinea pig.

stewardship project
Located in Pacifica, California, the Pedro Point Headlands are the western terminus of Montara Mountain, a four-mile-long ridge that ends at Pedro Point. Pedro Point itself is a spectacular, photogenic rock jutting into the ocean, its strata upended. The near vertical cliffs and jagged knife-like edge are beloved by seabirds. The headlands above it host diverse plant communities of coastal scrub, reedgrass and Monterey Pine woodlands.
The Pedro Point Headlands stewardship project is a volunteer initiative to protect these priceless coastal resources. The Pedro Point Headlands have been abused by years of motorcycle use, damaging the native plant communities while providing habitat for aggressive invasive plants. Your help is needed to restore these headlands to a more natural state and to protect them for future generations.

Health & Safety
No ventilation was used and the air quality was not tested or monitored in a small underground septic tank where two men worked and perished last month, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration reports.
OSHA has issued four serious citations and proposed $16,800 in fines against Stevens Electric & Pump Service, of Monmouth, ME, in the deaths of Richard Kemp, 70, of Monmouth, and Winfield Studley, 58, of Windsor, ME.
The citations came just three weeks after the two men were fatally overcome by hydrogen sulfide fumes Sept. 27 while repairing a pump in a sewer tank at an inn in Kennebunkport, ME.
The cause of death was "hydrogen sulfide toxicity in a confined space with terminal inhalation of sewage," authorities said.
Serious Violations
OSHA cited the company for four serious violations related to permit-required confined-space work. OSHA alleges:
• The employer did not ensure the use of ventilating equipment in the work space.
• The space was not isolated as required before employees began working there.
• The air quality was not tested before the employees entered the space and was not monitored while they worked.
• Neither worker was wearing a chest or full-body harness with a retrieval line, as required for emergency rescue out of the space.
• The employer did not ensure the use of ventilating equipment in the work space.
• The space was not isolated as required before employees began working there.
• The air quality was not tested before the employees entered the space and was not monitored while they worked.
• Neither worker was wearing a chest or full-body harness with a retrieval line, as required for emergency rescue out of the space.
A serious violation occurs reflects "substantial probability" of death or serious injury from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
Employer: 'They Chose Not to Use the Equipment'
Stevens Electric, a family-owned business that previously had a clean record with OSHA, did not respond Friday to a request for comment.
However, company owner Tim Stevens told the Portland Press-Herald that he may challenge the OSHA citations, because all of the required safety equipment was available on the truck at the site and the workers did not use it. Stevens also said that all of the company's employees had received refresher safety training two weeks before the accident.
"I am not trying to say anything bad or negative about my employees, because they were my friends," Stevens told the newspaper. "They chose not to use the equipment, and we don't know why."
He added: "It's not the money so much. I just don't want people to think that we're a careless company, and I certainly don't want people to think we don't have the equipment on the job site."
Widow Defends Employer
Charlotte Kemp, Kemp's wife of 49 years, also told the newspaper that she did not hold the company responsible for her husband's death. Her son and two grandsons still work for the company, which she considers a second family.
"How can you blame the people he worked for, if they gave him all the tools and he didn't use them?" she told the Press-Herald.
Kemp said her husband "was careful and told her about all the training he got," the newspaper reported.
The men might have gone down to try to make a quick adjustment, or one man might have perished trying to save the other, she said.
"Every Wednesday, they would have a safety meeting," she told the paper. "But you know how it is; you get complacent. Everybody does."
The company has 15 days from receipt of the citations to contest them or comply.
Underground Tank
Kemp and Studley had been working on the pump in the 4-by-5-by-6-foot tank, accessed by a manhole, nine feet below ground.
Both Kemp and Studley were experienced workers, with more than 50 years of experience between them. However, neither man was wearing any breathing apparatus when their bodies were recovered, officials said.
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a colorless, flammable, poisonous gas produced by bacterial breakdown of organic materials and human and animal wastes.
Although notorious for its "rotten egg" smell, high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide can instantaneously cripple a person's ability to smell the gas at all and asphyxiate in a single breath, according to an OSHA Fact Sheet.
OSHA protocols and regulations detail safeguards for identifying, monitoring, entering and working in H2S environments. In general, respiratory protection and ventilation are required.
Time Frame, Penalties
OSHA concluded its investigation quickly, and the fine was relatively light.
"In this case, OSHA was able to obtain the information it needed to make a decision and issue the citations in a short period of time," said Ted Fitzgerald, Acting Regional Director for Public Affairs. He did not elaborate.
Regarding the penalty for a case that involved two deaths, Fitzgerald wrote in an email:
"OSHA fines are assessed based on a number of factors, including the classification of the citations (serious, willful, repeat); the number of citations issued; and the size of the employer.
"In this case, four serious citations were issued, accounting for the total. If the same conditions were found during an inspection that involved no fatalities, the same fines would be proposed. There is no correlation between the size of the fine and whether or not a death or injury is involved.
"For example, if a worker dies on the job and OSHA finds no violations, then there would be no citations and therefore no fines. On the other hand, large penalties could be assessed in an inspection that involved no injuries or deaths if the inspection identified willful and repeated violations and/or a large number of serious violations."

New numbers put out Monday by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension show an increase in violent crime in recent years.
These violent crimes are murder, or homicide, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. In three of those four categories, or crimes, the BCA said the number of cases rose from 2011 to 2012.
According to Duluth Police Department records, a similar change is happened in the city.
In the first half of 2013, Duluth has already seen 2 homicides. That's the same number as in all of last year. In 2011, there were zero homicides in the city.
As for other violent crimes, from 2011 to 2012 police records show robberies rising from 88 to 92. Aggravated assaults rose from 183 to 214. However, instances of rape dropped from 47 to 33.
Statewide numbers from the BCA comparing 2011 and 2012 show instances of homicide rose from 73 to 92. Robberies climbed from 3,359 to 3,450 and aggravated assaults jumped from 6,364 to 6,721.
Like the Duluth numbers, rape dropped from 2,080 to 2,060.
Duluth police declined our request for an interview on the new numbers, saying Chief Gordon Ramsay will address city councilors on the issue Thursday.

An interesting window into how technology can cut health care costs arrived yesterday in the form of a postcard from a company called Teladoc, which, in New York, is offering a deal by which an individual can pay $30 a year ($50 for a family) and get the ability to access a Beth Israel hospital doctor via phone or online video for $38 a consult. The Web site claims that the access to the doctors is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and that the doctors will respond within an hour to a request for a consultation. The firm also offers its services (which do not all involve Beth Israel doctors) to organizations and claims it serves more than 4.5 million members.
A telephone or video consultation isn't always a perfect substitute for an in-person exam, but so long as one keeps that in mind, there's probably some room for this sort of thing in the market for health care.

UNC crushes Old Dominion 80-20 to attain bowl eligibility
When the final score from North Carolina basketball's 82-72 win over Richmond came up on the videoboard at Kenan Stadium Saturday, UNC's football team came up with an audacious goal: Outscore the basketball team.
It almost happened, despite a unique agreement by both coaches to shorten the fourth quarter to just 10 minutes.
The Tar Heels scored 80 points through three quarters and set school records for points, total yards (721) and yards per play (10.6) in an 80-20 win over Old Dominion that made UNC (6-5) bowl eligible after a 1-5 start.
"We wanted Coach to let us kick the field goal (in the final minutes) so we could get 83, but that didn't happen," quarterback Marquise Williams said. "It felt good. We were clicking on special teams and everything. I wish we could have gotten 83 so we could have bragged with the basketball boys, but it was great."
In his third game since replacing injured senior Bryn Renner, Williams finished 20 of 27 for 409 yards and five touchdowns — all in the first half — and also ran five times for 60 yards in setting a school record for total offense.
Williams led an offense that had six touchdowns of at least 40 yards and nine touchdown drives of less than minute.
Freshman Ryan Switzer became the second player in NCAA history to return a punt for a touchdown in three straight games and also caught 43- and 57-yard touchdown passes, while freshman T.J. Logan had a 99-yard kickoff return and ran 14 times for 137 yards and three scores.
Old Dominion (8-4), which finished 1-4 against FBS teams as it transitions up from the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) this year to the Football Bowl Subdivision (I-A) and Conference USA membership next season, used an onside kick and a fumbled punt by UNC safety Tré Boston to take an early 10-7 lead. But the Tar Heels scored TDs on their next eight possessions en route to 80 points, the second-most ever by an ACC team. Clemson beat Wake Forest 82-24 in 1981.
Senior defensive end Kareem Martin had two sacks and freshman Brian Walker had four pass break-ups as the defense held ODU quarterback Taylor Heinicke — who won the Walter Payton Award for best offensive player in the FCS last season — to 14 of 31 passing for 130 yards.
After being banned from a bowl game in 2012 because of NCAA sanctions, the Tar Heels are back in the postseason this year as a result of their first five-game winning streak since 2001.
"At 1-5 five weeks ago, I couldn't tell you how rough that was for me," senior cornerback Jabari Price said. "Guys probably could have went the other way, could have turned it in, could have went 2-10, but they didn't. Guys kept practicing hard, they kept pushing each other, they showed up to workouts, and it ended up paying off."
Indeed, the Tar Heels were so dominant Saturday that ODU coach Bobby Wilder asked referee Jeff Flanagan if the game could be cut by five minutes. UNC coach Larry Fedora agreed to the plan.
"I felt like that was in the best interest of my team," Wilder said. "There certainly wasn't anything good that was going to come from the score getting any more lopsided than it already was. … That's probably the most difficult thing I think I've done in 26 years of coaching."
Fedora said that some of his coaches wanted to play the full game to give the backups more experience, but he wanted to win with class and not embarrass anybody.
"It's a very uncomfortable situation, actually, for me," Fedora said. "But that staff on the other side, they have families. Those kids on the other side have been working their butt off. I think we accomplished what we needed to accomplish."

Gabrielle Union And Dwyane Wade Couldn't Have Looked Happier At Their Rehearsal Dinner
Gabrielle Union is BEAMING in these pics the paps caught of her and Dwyane Wade leaving a restaurant last night.
With their wedding less than 24 hours away, Gabby and her soon-to-be husband Dwyane Wade were at Miami Beach's Prime 112 for the rehearsal dinner Friday night, and the couple was seen smiling, laughing, toasting and joking with friends for much of the evening. The party didn't stop until 1:00 in the morning with the pair leaving together in their Ferrari.
Meanwhile, more details have spilled regarding the couple's wedding and it looks like it will all go down in a castle!
According to TMZ, Gabby and D. Wade will be exchanging their vows at a 19,000-square foot castle that was once featured in a Birdman music video. Tucked away in Miami, the Chateau Artisan will provide the couple with all the privacy they need for their wedding day since it's protected by a moat!
Peep the pics:
Built & designed by Charles Sieger in 2007, this one of a kind castle was constructed using only the highest quality materials and furnishings. Chateau Artisan sits on 14 acres amid a private lake and royal gardens. Rivals the most magnificent French chateau with grand scale wrought iron gated entry followed by mammoth wooden privacy gates, long tree-lined drive with enormous obelisk focal point, vast lawns & huge koi pond.
Since D. Wade planned most of the wedding, it was probably his idea to have the wedding there so that Gabby can feel like a princess.
The photos will be breathtaking.

Former Cardinals star Albert Pujols filed a defamation lawsuit Friday against former teammate Jack Clark, who alleged Pujols used steroids.
Law experts said the case might be hard for Pujols to win.
"In order to succeed in his case, he will have the burden of proving the allegations were materially false," said Amy Ginensky, a media attorney in Philadelphia. Clark, meanwhile, doesn't have to prove his claim is true.
"My lawyers have told me that the upcoming legal fight will not be an easy one, and that in cases like this even a liar can sometimes be protected under the law," said Pujols, who denied using performance-enhancing substances. "But as a man of faith, I have never shied away from standing up for the truth, and I believe that the principles at stake are too important to sit back and do nothing."
Clark said Pujols' trainer, Chris Mihlfeld, told him he injected Pujols with performance-enhancing drugs in 2000.

By damage to organisms through processing methods such as heat or
There are several factors that influence the growth of microorganisms: nutrition,
oxygen, pH, temperature, and moisture. Lack of food retards bacterial growth, and
growth is favored by a sufficient quantity of the proper kind of food. Moisture is required
to carry foods in solution into the cell, to carry wastes in solution away from the cell, and
to maintain the moisture content of the cytoplasm. Temperature has a profound
influence on the growth rate of microorganisms. Microorganisms subjected to adverse
temperatures are either destroyed or are not able to multiply. The optimum temperature
of a microorganism is the temperature that provides for the most rapid growth of that
microorganism. The pH of the medium in which microorganisms grow exerts a
considerable influence on their rate of growth. All microorganisms have an optimum pH
at which they grow best. Most species of bacteria have an optimum pH between 6.0
and 8.5. Molds will grow in a pH range between 2.0 to 8.5. Yeasts have an optimum
pH range from 5.5 to 6.5.
Nutrients or foods are substances which are outside the cell and which, upon
entering a cell after passing across the cell membrane, can be used by the cell for
building material or for obtaining energy. Food requirements of bacteria show great
variations from species to species. Some organisms can obtain all their food
requirements from inorganic matter while others need many complex organic
compounds. Although any one species may be able to use only a small number of
materials as sources of food, bacteria as a group are able to utilize all the naturally
occurring organic compounds as well as many inorganic substances.
a. Requirements. Bacteria require foods for the same purposes, as do other
forms of life, namely, as sources of material for cellular synthesis and for energy in
order to perform these synthetic processes. Requirements include carbohydrates
(sugar, starches, and celluloses), a source of nitrogen, vitamins, water, and a source of
b. Sources. The majority of bacteria species use naturally occurring organic
materials such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and so forth, not only as sources of carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen but also for the energy needed to synthesize these
materials into protoplasm (that material referred to as the physical basis of life and
which is common to all living cells). The requirements of most bacteria for inorganic
materials can be satisfied by salts containing sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium,

Cocktail 101: How to Make Brandied Cherries
Beginning in the late 1800s and continuing up until Prohibition, bar owners and commercial producers began to tinker with the basic recipe of cherries in maraschino. Other boozes were substituted; easier-to-find (and cheaper) cherries were swapped in. The process of eliminating the liqueur from the recipe began well before Prohibition, probably as a cost-saving measure, but once the Great Experiment started, the use of liqueur was doomed, and the DayGlo orbs took over. But cocktail cherries are easy to make at home, and you might find that it's fun to tinker with the recipe, adjusting it to your tastes and needs. More

Wakefield Speaks – But Why Is Anybody Still Listening?
For some reason, Newsweek decided to ask the discredited researcher Andrew Wakefield for his views in the wake of a measles outbreak. To be fair, they've done their research and they do present the important facts (for example the retraction of his fraudulent paper). But: we all know what he'll say (the same as he did last time there was an outbreak) and we all know how much weight we can give the word of a man who's chiefly known for his misconduct.

Anti-Vaccine Authors To Promote Their Wares At University Of Minnesota
Anti-vaccine authors have successfully hired a room at the University of Minnesota. This isn't an especially impressive or interesting development – I just couldn't think how else to start this post. The book symposium will take place next January.
Speakers include David Lewis, Judy Mikovits, Mark Blaxill, Dan Olmsted, and the novelist-policeman Louis Conte. Oh, and some lawyers.
The symposium is being sponsored by Skyhorse Publishing, experienced in publishing "books on sports, flyfishing, nature and history" (an obvious choice for anyone who has written a scholarly tome on medical matters – as I'm sure Andrew Wakefield would tell you). The other sponsors are The Holland Center (a treatment centre which offers biomedical interventions such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy, nutrition consulting and allergy testing), CADE (a local non-profit organisation), The Canary Party, Age of Autism and Health Choice (you may notice some overlap between the last three groups and the list of authors).
The minimum ticket price appears to be $25 but this does include one of the ten books being promoted (for $99 dollars you get a ticket and enough books to remedy up to ten wonky tables).

Homeopathy Awareness Week 2014: Skincare
Homeopathy, like sympathetic magic, operates upon the premise that "like affects like". Its proposed mechanisms have been described as "physically impossible", and the best available evidence from trials was found to be "compatible with the notion that the clinical effects of homoeopathy are placebo effects". These are just some of the things that homeopaths may avoid mentioning when promoting "awareness" of homeopathy. Read the rest of this entry »

Weird Cold Symptoms – Is It Just Me?
The symptom checker at webmd.com gives the following symptoms for the common cold:
- Cough
- Pain or discomfort
- Decreased appetite
- Fatigue
- Hoarse voice
- Runny nose
- Sore throat
- Nasal congestion
- Fever
- Body aches or pains
- Decreased smell
Weirdly, I get some slightly odd symptoms not mentioned here. And one that contradicts the final symptom listed by webmd. When I get a cold, my sense of smell (usually pretty terrible) is greatly improved. I haven't yet found an explanation for my odd symptoms, and nor have I met anyone who has similar symptoms (unless everyone I've asked is trolling me).

WDDTY: Dr Verkerk, Evil Big Pharma, and Supplements
Dr Robert Verkerk has written an opinion piece for the April 2014 issue of What Doctors Don't Tell You. Verkerk's article is essentially a complaint about Big Pharma being involved in selling vitamin pills, and he ends by recommending that people use 'natural' forms of supplements not made by Big Pharma as these are never found to be harmful. It's the synthetic, Big Pharma vitamins that are bad. If there were references in his article to the evidence that backs up his claims, I missed them.
Down the left hand side of the article, Verkerk is described as "the executive and scientific director of the Alliance for Natural Health International, a consumer group that aims to protect our right to natural healthcare and nutrition". But that's not all he does. Read the rest of this entry »

A recent deadly police shooting is leading the owner of a local music store to take action against those who try to sell stolen musical instruments.
James Stackpole picked up his repaired guitar at Music Go Round on Saturday.
He also protected himself from thieves by answering a couple questions.
"I didn't think about it until they mentioned it," he said.
The store on Menaul Boulevard buys, sells and trades musical instruments.
"Some of the entry-level stuff that's been overseas won't be serialized, but on most guitars they'll be on the back of the headstock," said owner Dave Tvedt.
It's inviting owners to share their instrument's serial number with the store in case it's stolen.
"9 times out of 10 if you don't have information on what your instrument is: the serial number, a description, a picture, all those things you're not going to get it back," said Tvedt.
Just a few weeks ago, a police shooting began when officers were called to the store for a report of stolen instruments.
A woman and two men, including Parrish Denison, tried to sell stolen musical instruments to the store, said police.
But because the owner of the instruments called the day before with descriptions and serial numbers, the store easily identified the instruments and called police.
New helicopter video shows a chase and SWAT standoff that ended nearby, when three APD officers shot and killed Denison.
Music Go Round says it'll build a database of serial numbers collected to help protect rightful owners from thieves.

Two former aides to media mogul Rupert Murdoch were charged with paying bribes for information on Britain's royal family and the military, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
Former News International head Rebekah Brooks and former News of the World editor Andy Coulson, who also served as Prime Minister David Cameron's communications director, were charged along with three other people for making illegal payments to U.K. authorities.
It was the latest charges to be announced in the phone-hacking scandal that forced the shuttering of News of the World in 2011.
Brooks, along with The Sun's chief reporter John Kay and Ministry of Defense strategy officer Bettina Jordan-Barber, "conspired together" between January 2004 and January 2012 " to commit misconduct in public office," said the Crown Prosecution Service.
Jordan-Barber allegedly gave The Sun, which is owned by Murdoch, information for stories for around $160,000, reported The Independent.
Coulson and royal correspondent Clive Goodman were also charged with conspiring on two separate occasions ending in 2005, prosecutors alleged. These incidents were separate from the charges against Brooks, Kay, and Jordan-Barber.
Coulson allowed for payments to unidentified officials for information for a palace phone directory called the "green book," according to the Independent.

I'm just saying, your first two questions seems a little sarcastic. Reading vs hearing you ask the question always leave room for interpretation as we all know how one person can write something and mean it one way but you ask 10 different people to read it and 10 different people will receive the message differently. I'm just saying, that's all. If there's nothing to your question, then it's no big deal.
Either way, I thank everybody for helping with their answers as I've had my new iMac for about a week now and I'm just trying to get used to the differences to a PC. I've been using PC all my life except when I was a kid and they had Macs in my elementary school so it looks like I'm coming back full circle.
And yes, I can acknowledge that you're correct on the Explorer thing. Typically, when I think of Explorer, I think of (internet) explorer/browser but I guess that's just me.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Shirley Blazier on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Transferred use of the surname, in origin a local name from any of the various places (in the West Midlands, Derbyshire, Hampshire, and Surrey) named in Old English from scīr 'county, shire' or scīr 'bright' + lēah 'wood, clearing'. It was given by Charlotte Brontë to the heroine of her novel Shirley (1849). According to the novel, her parents had selected the name in prospect of a male child and used it regardless. Shirley had earlier been used as a boy's name (Charlotte Brontë refers to it as a 'masculine cognomen'), but this literary influence fixed it firmly as a girl's name. It was strongly reinforced during the 1930s and 40s by the popularity of the child film star Shirley Temple (b. 1928).
|84th in the U.S.
English: unexplained. Possibly an altered form of Brazier.

Sort of. The Patriot Act is simply too large to have been drafted in the timeframe allotted, so we can start with the obvious truth that whoever really wrote it had it on the shelf awaiting an opportunity. That is chilling, and under-reported, enough.
Well, it is certainly true that the intelligence agencies have always hated FISA and the ECPA, and they used 9/11 as an opportunity to push for changes that would never have been allowed in other political climates.
But they didn't literally have it sitting on the shelf, unless you have some sort of evidence to show otherwise. It was a little over a month between September 11th and when the first draft of the PATRIOT Act. That's a reasonable amount of time to bang out 120 pages of legalese, the majority of which were pretty banal reforms.
The problem of governments using crises to rush anti-democratic legislation is horrible enough without making up conspiracy theories.

You do have a point to a certain extent. Modern weaponry has, in the last half a century, reduced the likelihood of major superpowers going to war with one another. But as the global population increase puts more pressure on dwindling resources (fossil fuels, water, arable land), I think the possibility of conflict between superpowers is much more likely in the coming decades than it has been recently, and a few regional political conflicts have the potential to explode should thing take a turn for the worse (North/South Korea, Pakistan-India namely).

Also the reason why written sources are more numerous and accurate after around, say, the 6th century BC is because that's when people started writing everything down! Although writing existed before then, there was a massive increase in trade during that time period and that's when writing became commonplace. Scholars believe that was the time period in which the Greek legends as well as the first books of the Old Testament were all written. So there is a period ranging around the 6th century BC to the present where we have continuous (and thus accurate) written history being recorded, a written history of the oral traditions of those cultures (that goes back some time but is of questionable accuracy), and then a time of prehistory where we have no information other than what we can put together from archaeological data.
If you look at that wikipedia page you linked, almost all of those dates are based on archaeological data. The way that works is an archaeologist finds a site that looks promising and starts a dig. They find any artifacts in that area, analyze it, date it, compare it to other sites in the region, and extrapolate information based on that. Other scientific fields are also used to help out: chemistry, genetics, linguistics, anthropology, climate science, all of them are used in constructing history. But that's not very precise and extremely dependent on finding good archaeological data, so that's why you have the lack of precision.
Go back 2,000 years and there is quite a bit of archaeological data. Go back 5,000 years and it is is very hard to come by. Go back 10,000 years and it's practically nonexistent. That's why we know so little of prehistoric civilizations. There's literally no other information other than "There were people here, and they left these types of tools" and maybe some bones or cave paintings.
