I thought Clinque had an eye pencil sharpner for$2.00… worth looking if the purchase can be any amount!
@ Alira, I thougth about the sharpner too, however it's mysteriously not on the website anymore!
I purchased the $6.00 foundation pump and got all the freebies too. My total was $6.42
I love their Chubby lip balms. I have wanted to try the Chubby intense, so this was the perfect opportunity thanks!
If you connect to the clinique site via shopathome.com, you can also get 12% cash back.
Thanks so much! Treated myself to a little Clinique for early Christmas present!
I for their super lip balm for 13.50, which is WAY more than I would usually spend but I have been wanting to try for my chronic chapped lips. Since I also got a little cosmetics case, a mini perfume, and redness relief powder, it seemed worth it. With this, the neutrogena, VS deals, and a bare escentuals deal I got in my email I feel spoiled and haven't spent much at all! Lol
How long is the promo for?
I chose the free silver cosmetic bag & high lengths mini, so for $10.40, this is what I got. Thanks!!!
Bottom Line Mascara
Ornament Box
Silver cosmetic bag
High lengths delux mini mascara
Serenity bag
7 sample pack
Not too shabby!
Thank you so much! I needed some eye make-up remover. I've been buying the Mary K eye make-up remover for years (it's awesome), but last time I needed it I was short on cash and noticed that Walmart had their brand for 4 to 5 times less. Well, you get what you pay for because it was horrible. I though Clinique might have a good make-up remover because I like some of their other products, but I wasn't sure what was better…1) Take The Day Off Makeup Remover For Lids, Lashes & Lips…. 2) Rinse-Off Eye Makeup Solvent.
They both get good reviews, so I hope I made the right choice (# 1). Not only did I get something I needed, but a bunch of freebies with it too! Thanks for the info!
• Take The Day Off Makeup Remover For Lids, Lashes & Lips – US$18.00
• Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser Mini
Complimentary – US$0.00
• High Impact Mascara Treat in Black
Complimentary – US$0.00
The Best of Clinique – 7 Packette Favorites
Complimentary – US$0.00
• Serenity Floral Mini Accessory Bag
Complimentary – US$0.00
• Ornament Box – FREE
In hind site, I probably should have dropped the make-up bag and added the perfume. Target has given me more make-up bags than I know what to do with. :)
Spent 10.60 and then took a survey for 4 free magazine subscriptions. Did pay 2.oo for processing ea. magazine, but still……
Remember that you have to cancel after the "free" subscription is over. They say they will send a notice but we never got one, and then they charged my card a ridiculous amount to renew (like, more than double the regular subscription price). If you have a calendar that you keep track of things like this on, mark it down now to call them next Dec. 1 and cancel. It's a nice deal for decent magazines if you don't forget to cancel – and they are counting on you to forget!
I'm bummed that I cannot get this deal but just wanted to let everyone know that my virus protection is picking up phishing/virus activity on clinique's site. :(
HAPPY expired at midnight.
How do u get the samples? I'm trying to checkout and can't figure it out

Drakkar Sauna: The Family Who Prays
The music made by the Kansas-based band Drakkar Sauna (Jeff Stolz and Wallace Cochran) is otherworldly. It is completely original and quirky. Angelic vocal harmonies and soulful instrumentals work slyly with strange, provocative lyrics. Anachronistic and yet fresh. Every song will make you wistful, until it makes you laugh.

JOSH BAILEY DAY-TO-DAYAnd a whole lot of other medical updates
1:45 pm, Iceworks – Josh Bailey, who could have been injured if he went to the World Junior Championships, is instead now an injured member of the New York Islanders.
Bailey has been listed by Islanders PR guru Seth Sylvan as "day-to-day" with a sprained ankle. The 19-year old center did not practice with the Islanders today in preparation for Tuesday's home match against the Washington Capitals. He was said to also be at Iceworks yesterday for treatment, while the rest of the team had the day off.
Nate Thompson (unknown injury) and Mike Sillinger (groin) also did not practice.
On the positive side, Mike Comrie and (in somewhat of a surprise) Kyle Okposo practiced in red jerseys with the team today. Comrie said he is definitely out for Tuesday while he hopes to get his timing down over a full week of practices. Expect him to join the Islanders on their two-game trip at the end of the week to Minnesota and Nashville.
Okposo, announced just 10 days ago by the team as out "4-6 weeks" with a sprained wrist, not only practiced, but skated full-tilt and cranked slap shots with no visible discomfort. After the workout, Okposo said he felt good, needed to work on his timing and was thrilled to be ahead of schedule, but could not provide his personal timeline for return.
Scott Gordon said the carousel of injuries has been "frustrating. We haven't had a full deck since day one. It's hard to have a rhythm." Later on, in a one-on-one chat with Point Blank, he acknowledged that one of his biggest disappointments was not having youngsters Okposo and Frans Nielsen in the lineup. "They'll be fine in the long run, but this year is important time for them and for us. We want to show everyone what they're capable of."
Add Bailey to the list.
ETC: Rick DiPietro, who reportedly was to resume practicing today, was not at Iceworks. Gordon said the current plan is for DiPietro to go on the road trip and not participate in his first team workout until Friday in Minnesota. Asked about DiPietro playing some games in Bridgeport, as suggested in this space, the coach said it's an option, "but it's not one we have discussed yet."
Mitch Fritz is still with the big club, wearing an orange jersey today with Tim Jackman and Jon Sim.
I asked Gordon if there was any hesitancy to recall young prospects like Trevor Smith (hat trick for Bridgeport on Saturday) for fear of rushing them when ideally they should continue their development in the AHL. The coach said the other way of looking at it is a recall for a few games "provides an opportunity to see if they are ready." He cited Tim Jackman as a player who has made the most of that opportunity.
Based on the availability of day-to-dayers Bailey and Sillinger and the tbd Thompson, the Islanders will need to find re-enforcements from Bridgeport or elsewhere by Tuesday night when they play the Caps at the Coliseum. Our hunch is none of those three are playing, so stay tuned for roster news on Point Blank either tonight or from tomorrow's morning skate.

If an UFO appears behind the Roman Coliseum.... I hope the camera is UFO prepared.
Loosing time and resources with another 25ish lens instead of concentrate in the huge hole of the system in good long lenses!!
I hope Panasonic does not kill the 100-400 as they did with the 150 2.8.
I completely agree, anyone using commercially should pay to the copyright holder.
But only if, at the same time, the copyright holder removes it immediately when someone does not like it. Since we are not free to avoid seeing a huge ugly construction right in front of our noses, the copyright holder should remove it from our views.
To be perfect, this should be "IPhone 6 only".
This little guy had character!
Sumicron69: Ahhhhh looks like a nice camera but I will not be giving up my EM5 for this. It is still one of the finest cameras I have ever used.
I don't know you, but in the IQ DPR tests, I cannot tell the difference in noise and sharpness between the EM1 and EM5, or the GX7..... It's just me??
Something is telling me that, as always, DxO marks will show all these m43/43 cameras of the same generation have quite on par sensors.
I'd suggest to do the tests with a faster lens (75mm @ F1.8 or 50-200 @200 & F3.5), and/or at longer focal lengths, specially the second one.
Because just about EVERYTHING in the frames is essentially in focus (actually, I think the trunk behind the horse in #17 has better focus than the horse itself), so the test has no much useful information.
I would suggest also to disable NR, since it ruins sharpness judgement (the hair of the girl is an ugly mess).
straylightrun: Big surprise. Next is Micro Four Thirds and eventually APS-C before FF becomes the standard in a few years.
I think that in "decades" you will probably have much better sensors that will make us laugh about our neat current FF sensors. FF would be too big then for almost any purpose. IMO, future is small and, of course, mirrorless.
Maxfield_photo: Remember all those folks last year who said the sky was falling on the DLSR market, and it's name was mirrorless?
Nikon didn't make a mirrorless camera, but a compact camera with interchangeable lenses. Terrible idea.
It is actually a shame that not every single DSLR offers this as a default feature, not even modern flagships with video, and you have to shoot with a phone! For example, the Oly E5 doesn't have timelapse. Still, it is not very hard to make timelapses with it: http://luis.impa.br/photo/1204_varios/nuvens-cristo_timelapse_EV-2.0_JN-120407-E_21672-22915a.avi
But shooting several of these movies will ruin your shutter.
The word "IPhone" appears 21 times in the first page of connect, while Samsung 6 times, and Nokia (that according to DPR has the best camera in any phone) only 3. Ipad appears 9 times....
Is this new site serious, or just and ad?
TheEye: 1/160 flash sync? How gauche.
Ridiculous 1/160s!!!
Impossible to shoot with the 100-300mm @ 300mm and 1/160s with reasonable keeper rate.
Why still at 1/160s??????
So nothing decent over 150mm up to 2015????
This is not what I need. Please, PLEASE, I need urgently a new 45-147mm!!
Come on... what about a 300mm F4 with really good IQ??
I am unable to focus in the black square located at (75%,75%) of the frame from the top left. It either focuses at the square in (50%,80%), or at the square located at (80%,70%).
I think this picture just has 3 or 4 planes of focus. It's like 3 or 4 pictures stacked. So you cannot actually choose precisely where to focus...??

Absolutely. I participated only in a few challenges until I realized this, and then quit.

Spending Cuts Could Result in 'Hollowed out Force,' Vice Chiefs Say
- October 27, 2011
- comments:0
Budget cuts likely will harm the readiness of already strained forces, the vice chiefs of the four services told the House Armed Services' Readiness Subcommittee on Thursday.
Gen. Peter Chiarelli, the Army's vice chief of staff, urged leaders to trim the service's budget and make force reductions carefully. "We must make them responsibly so that we do not end up with either a hollowed out force … or an unbalanced force," he said, reported American Forces Press Service.
Any cuts beyond the Army's 26 percent share of the $450 billion in defense savings already expected over the next decade would be difficult, he said.
Vice Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mark Ferguson also said he is concerned about jeopardizing readiness. "Taken in sum or in parts, low personnel quality, aging equipment, degradation of material readiness and reduced training will inevitably lead to declining readiness of the force," he told lawmakers.
The Navy will search for savings in overhead, infrastructure, personnel costs, force structure and modernization, he said.
In his opening statement, Subcommittee Chair Randy Forbes (R-Va.) described the hearing as one of the last opportunities for the services to detail the impacts of looming budget cuts before the debt supercommittee completes its work.
Forbes made it clear that he opposes the supercommittee imposing further cuts on the Pentagon: "While there seems to be a prevailing consensus that sequestration under the [Budget Control Act] would be devastating to the military, I remain concerned that we may have already gone too far. Over the last 20 months, the department has reduced its 10-year budget authority by $754 billion from the levels submitted with the president's budget for fiscal year 2011."

As a mom of a 2 1/2 year old, I understand the importance of a great teether. I was given the advise by a friend of mine to get Sophie when my daughter started teething. When I got her and gave her to my daughter, she would not put Sophie down. To this day she still loves Sophie the Giraffe.
Sophie the Giraffe was created May 25, 1961 in Paris, France. It happened to be St. Sophie's Day so therefore, the little giraffes name became Sophie. At that time, the only animal toys that were available were only farm or pet animals. The creator, Monsieur Rampeau, wanted to come up with something different.
Sophie is so perfect because she is the perfect size and shape for your little bundle's hands. She has a soft feel to her that's similar to mommies skin. This can stimulate emotional and physiological responses that will soothe your baby. Sophie is 7 inches high and very light. Her long legs and neck are perfect for little hands to hold on to.
Sophie the Giraffe will also stimulate your babies eyesight. When your baby is born, their eyesight has not fully developed and by the age of 3 months, they can only see high contrasts.

Dolly Levi knows what she wants. She wants a husband. And when Dolly Levi sets her mind to something, there's little that can stand in her way.
"She creates her own destiny. She makes things happen for herself and in the process, she makes things happen for other people ... She pulls people in the 'right' direction," says Leigh Ann Dusseau, who stars as Dolly Levi in the Bedford Community Players' production of "Hello, Dolly!" this weekend.
It's the first Bedford Players' role for the Ida native, now a Toledo resident, but it's not her first time playing Dolly.
"It was my first role in high school," she said. That's when she was 16. Now she's 31 and as an adult, she's found there's a difference in the way she relates to her character.
"At 16, I knew very little about anything, really. I had never experienced love or loss. And a line like 'I'm tired of living from hand to mouth' — I had no idea what that even meant," Ms. Dusseau said. "I knew which lines should get laughs, and I sang the songs fine. But the role is a lot more than that; I just had no concept of it at the time. Now that I've lived through some of these things, it really expands her character in my eyes. Although, I'm sure at 31, I still have a ways to go before I really 'get' Dolly. Maybe if I play the role again in another 15 years I'll really nail it."
It's that empathy for her character that "Before the Parade Passes By" is Ms. Dusseau's favorite "Dolly Levi" song.
"It reveals a lot about her character. Outward, she's a matchmaker, but she's also lonely. She wants to get back in the game," she said.
Director Maureen (Moe) Agosti said the stage play is different than the 1969 movie that starred Barbra Streisand. This version is an ensemble cast; the movie was a star vehicle for Ms. Streisand.
Ms. Dusseau said she was surprised when she won the lead role. Besides performing in high school, she performed in musicals at Spring Arbor College. She lived in Jackson for about 10 years and now she's back in the area, so she decided to try out for the musical.
She's enjoying playing Dolly.
"She's a larger-than-life character, opposite of the way I am. It's fun to be able to be out of your shell and command the room," Ms. Dusseau said.
"The cast is extremely talented. I feel like an amateur. ... It makes me up my game," she said. "I've learned a lot from them. They're so professional. I play opposite Brad Cresswell. He's an opera singer and his voice is amazing. Steve (Steven Kiss as Barnaby Tucker) is hilarious. He steals the show with his facial expressions. He's very funny."
Cindy Eberhardt-Cooper, who plays Irene Molloy, and Mark Tomesek, who plays Cornelius Hackl, are two of the actors Ms. Dusseau noted as those who are making her step up.
"They're good friends and they've got great chemistry," said Ms. Agosti. The fact that they're both stage veterans doesn't hurt either.
For family reasons, Mr. Tomesek recently returned to Toledo from California, where he had been an actor, appearing on several TV shows. He's been in a number of Bedford Players' shows.
Ms. Eberhardt-Cooper, a laid-off Bedford Public Schools music teacher, is making the trip between Sherpherdstown, W.Va., and Temperance for the chance to appear in the musical.
"It's a huge plus, working with a friend," she said.
She had hoped to play Dolly, but when Mr. Tomesek was cast as Cornelius, it only seemed right that she would play his love interest.
"It's a great role. I love it," she said.
It's the first time she's been on stage in four years. She and her husband, who taught music at the University of Toledo, moved to West Virginia last year to find work. Since she still hadn't found a job, her husband encouraged her to take the part, she said.
"It's an old musical and I've never done it before. I'm a big Barbra Streisand fan and while the movie is very different than the stage play, once you see the movie, you want to be a part of it," said Ms. Eberthardt-Cooper.
A member of the Bedford Community Players since 1982, she's had several lead roles in the troupe's musicals.
"I really love working with these people," said Ms. Eberthardt-Cooper.
During the two months of rehearsals, she's been staying with family members in the area, but comes only during times when her part is at the forefront and she needs to be here. "Because of my experience, I knew I wouldn't have to stay for the whole time," she said.
Ms. Agosti says she's "tickled to death" with her ensemble cast. "I've never seen such strong talent. ... I feel very, very fortunate to have the cast I do."

Form W-7 ITIN Application Service
We are authorized by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") to help US residents and US non-residents (including their spouses and dependents) to apply for an individual taxpayer identification number ("ITIN").
An ITIN number is a federal tax ID number used by the IRS and the Department of the Treasury to correctly and efficiently identify its taxpayers and to process U.S. tax returns
History Of ITIN Number – Tax ID Number
In 1996, the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued regulations that introduced the ITIN, and required foreign persons to use an ITIN as their unique identification number on Federal tax returns (T.D. 8671, 1996-1 C.B.314).
The regulations were intended to address the concern by the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury that, without a unique number, taxpayers could not be identified effectively and tax returns could not be processed efficiently.
ITINs are not valid for identification outside of the tax system and should not be offered as identification for non-tax purposes. Since ITINs are strictly for tax processing, the IRS does not apply the same standards as agencies that provide genuine identity certification. ITIN applicants are not required to apply in person.
If you do not have a Social Security Number (SSN) and are not eligible to obtain a SSN, but you are required to furnish a tax identification number to file a U.S. Federal income tax return, be claimed as a spouse or dependent on a U.S. tax return or furnish a tax identification number for any other Federal tax purpose, you must apply for an ITIN. An alien individual cannot have both an ITIN and a SSN. If you are eligible for a SSN, you must first apply for one. Persons eligible to receive a Social Security Number are not eligible to receive an ITIN.
Treasury regulations governing Internal Revenue Code Section 6109 require a valid taxpayer identification number for each person listed on the tax return. If the Social Security Administration denies the applicant's request for a SSN they will issue a letter of denial. That letter must be attached to the Form W-7 when it is submitted to the IRS.
Note: Although most applicants are required to file their U.S. Federal income tax return by attaching it to Form W-7/W-7(SP), there are exceptions to this requirement.

Andrew Barclay has been the Co-Principal Percussionist of the London Philharmonic Orchestra since 1995 and is the percussion section's main cymbal player.
He studied at the Royal College of Music in London with Alan Cumberland and Michael Skinner and was a member of the European Community Youth Orchestra working with the conductors Claudio Abbado, Eric Leinsdorf and Vladimir Ashkenazy and teachers David Searcy and Walter Rosenberger. On leaving college, Andrew embarked on a freelance career encompassing the London and regional orchestras, chamber and contemporary groups and West End shows.
In 1990 he was invited to join the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and spent 5 years there before being appointed to the LPO. Since then he has worked with some of the world's great conductors (including Haitink, Masur, Jansons, Gergiev, Mehta and the LPO's principal conductor Vladimir Jurowski) and played in concert halls around the world from Carnegie Hall to The Great Hall of the People, Beijing.
Andrew also presents the LPO's highly-acclaimed schools' concerts in their home, The Royal Festival Hall. With several thousand children present, he has been required to sing, dance and even recite Shakespeare! Through the LPO he has also worked creatively with musicians from different styles and genres including the inspirational South African percussionist, Eugene Skeef.
Recently, Andrew has also performed in "The Lion King" in the West End, on the sound tracks to Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and other TV and film projects, and as timpanist with "London Brass".
As a teacher, Andrew is much in demand. He is a professor of percussion at the Royal Academy of Music and also gives regular classes.

Tour Diary – San Francisco, CA (May 2, 2013)
Saturday, May 4th, 2013
We arrived in San Fran this morning and everyone scattered, taking advantage of the few hours that we had in this great city tocontribute to its economy. Al bought some vinyl, Pete bought a hat, Jeff bought an origami book, Margo got her hair done and I bought a beautiful mahogany, Hawaiian made ukulele…a birthday present from my parents. It was hot in the city today, but its always a pleasure to be here even if it is only for a few hours. We did two shows tonight at Yoshi's. We have played its sister club in Oakland, but this one is fairly new. They've done a good job at creating a very unique performance space and have put in some good production as well, but it has a bit of a corporate, sterile feel, maybe over time it will develop it's own character. It was a hard night, we are tired and two shows is always difficult. Despite that I think we played fairly well, the second show was a little wacky with a few train-wrecks as our brains slowly shut down.
Pete's ipad sketch of the Bay:
JASON LENT FOLLOWED OUR TOUR BUS BACK IN 2011 AND SUPPLIED US WITH HIS TOUR DIARY. HE WILL BE DOING THE SAME FOR THE COMING WEEK. HERE IS JASON'S SAN FRANCISCO DIARY Crossing the bridge to San Francisco, I was again swallowed by this mysterious city. I've been coming to Junkies shows here for years but I still haven't fully grasped the lay of the land. A crowded bus ride to Ameoba Records gave me another glimpse at the Haight-Ashbury district but the 60's vibes of peace and love are felt only in the occasional mural on a wall.
The show tonight was a doubleheader at a jazz supper club. Would you like a spicy tuna roll with "Square Room"? The first show was being streamed online which meant the stage was swathed in light. It felt like watching a TV show about Cowboy Junkies starring Cowboy Junkies. Surreal in a way but it didn't hamper a very tight performance highlighted by even more special songs pulled from albums past. Every breath of Margo or the slide of fingers down a string fluttered in the air. The venue staff were attentive without disrupting the live music experience, as good as any I've seen from an audience perspective.
The second set was as fun and lighthearted as any Junkies show can be. The band was laughing, the crowd was having a blast, and the set list built off the first set perfectly. We headed out into the San Fran night and ended up in a non-descript bar, literally a hole in the side of a building, where two bartenders recently arrived from Korea tossed dice with us for shots of tequila. We closed down the bar as Townes Van Zandt's "To Live Is To Fly" blasted through the jukebox. I still haven't figured out this city but that might be the charm of San Francisco. Anything can happen.

Tour Diary – Napa, CA (May 1, 2013)
Friday, May 3rd, 2013
Pete's ipad sketch of the Montreal Forum
…and all of a sudden it's summer. We arrived in Napa yesterday morning, stepped off the bus and melted….less than a week ago we were freezing up in Whitehorse, now we are longing for the shorts and sandles that we left back home. But if it's 85 degrees outside it must be hockey playoff time. For the first time in nine pathetic years the Toronto Maple Leafs have made the playoffs and they just happened to be taking on Jared's Bruins. Last night we watched a few of the Western conference matches and realized that our home team couldn't come close to matching the intensity and skill level of those teams….then, tonight, we watched the Bruins dismantle the Leafs and all of our wishful thinking about a sustained playoff run went up in smoke…oh well, they are a young team and with a little tinkering they could be good for a few more years to come. We are just hoping for an over-all better showing than tonights game.
Napa is a strange little town. It's the center of the wine-tourist trade and there is obviously a lot of money flowing through the area. The town looks like it gave itself up to a ski-resort developer, some of the beautiful old stone and brick buildings have been completely overshadowed by a string of faux-period buildings that line main street. Despite that, the Napa Opera House is a beautiful sounding little theatre. We had another very good night.

Tour Diary – Bend, Oregon (April 29, 2013)
Wednesday, May 1st, 2013
This town is like a little slice of heaven. Perfect climate, a brew pub on every other corner, a choice of excellent restaurants of all stripes and the Deschutes River winding lazily through the center of town with a beautiful lush park running along its banks. It is also contains the Tower Theatre, which is a beautiful little venue. It was another very good night….the audience didn't seem to come alive until the second set, but we had lots of fun.
Waking up in Spokane, I took the wheel from Chris and Stephen (two regulars on this west coast run for years) and pointed the car south towards Oregon. The winds of the high desert fought the car every inch of the 385 miles we had to cross before tonight's show. It was a long day, one of the tougher drives on a Junkies run, but a perfect small town was waiting when we pulled in. The weather was crisp, a gentle river wound it's way past the small shops, and everybody seemed genuinely happy wherever we went. Deschutes Brewery calls this town home and there was plenty on tap to pass an afternoon. The venue was another one of those lovingly restored theaters nestled on the main street between an actual record store and locally sourced restaurants. Apart from a Starbucks (which was competing with at least five local shops in a four block radius), corporate America seems to have spared this pleasant town.
Tonight was the type of evening that validates those 385 mile drives to reach the next show. The night didn't unfold flawlessly and the passion of the audience wasn't a continual source of electricity for the amps on stage but few would notice. The set list was arranged in such a way that every song triggered an emotional connection to a personal memory, some of joy, some of sorrow. Whatever it is you seek from Cowboy Junkies, it was there for you to tonight. As the band spread their wings on "Blue Guitar", the low tremble of Al's bass felt like the earth stirring with the spirits of Townes Van Zandt and Vic Chestnutt both of whom felt close by on this night.

Tour Diary – Spokane, WA (April 28, 2013)
Tuesday, April 30th, 2013
I really like this town. There is something unexpected about it. In the middle of seemingly nowhere is this very cool little oasis that the Spokanians have built up. The river that runs through Spokane is all the reason that one needs to put down roots here. And to the towns credit they have spent some money on a park along the river side and lots of money on pedestrian bridges spanning this raging monster. I think it would be very hard to become too complacent about ones place in the world if you had to walk across this torrent every day (and that's a good thing). I don't know if it rages like this year round, I kind of doubt it, but it still must be pretty impressive. It's beautiful.
We did a Trinity show tonight, the only one on this tour. I thought it went exceptionaly well….we are just beginning to learn how to play this album.
JASON LENT FOLLOWED OUR TOUR BUS BACK IN 2011 AND SUPPLIED US WITH HIS TOUR DIARY. HE WILL BE DOING THE SAME FOR THE COMING WEEK. HERE IS JASON'S SPOKANE DIARY.Awoke to the slow Seattle rain. As the road climbed through the mountains, sheets of snow stretched in every direction before we descended to the high plains of Eastern Washington where fierce winds pushed us on to Spokane. Like the wind, the river cutting through these parts is wild and untamed. Raging through downtown, it gives an otherwise bland urban landscape some character.
Wandering into the small theater late in the afternoon, I was confronted by a gackle of nuns as a Catholic priest had just wrapped up an afternoon recital. One peak at the band's gear still unset on stage told me the venue was way behind in the day and the band and crew were in for a challenge to get the room ready before doors opened. I opted to bar hop downtown while they sorted out the cables and mics.
Tonight's performance was the lone Trinity Session performance on this run. Given the tight schedule, the band stuck with what works in the first set mirroring last night's Nomad playlist. After intermission, Margo stepped to the mic and delivered "Mining For Gold" to an appreciative room. Hearing an album in its entirety can be bumpy live. The song order on record rarely matches the flow of a live set. The band seems to have figured out Trinity with an acoustic "To Love Is To Bury" anchoring the set. Lovely night.

Tour Diary – Seattle, WA (April 27, 2013)
Monday, April 29th, 2013
We flew out of Victoria to Vancouver and, finally, hooked up with our bus. Those quiet stationary nights in hotel rooms are now finished, but so is the constant packing and unpacking and the daily uprooting. Our home is now on wheels. We were suppose to play Vancouver tonight, but for some reason we can't seem to sell a ticket in Vancouver so we ended up canceling the show a couple of weeks ago. Vancouver has been an ugly place for us over the past few years, we can't figure out why, it must have something to do with those Canucks. Whatever, the gig in Seattle has been sold out for weeks so we headed south to where we are wanted.
We have never spent any time in this part of Seattle, The University District. The streets here have a pretty well worn feel to them, the students have marked their territory….the houses in the area and the accompanying gardens make one want to pick up stakes and move here immediately: funky old bungalows overgrown with all sorts of semi-exotic plant life. We also played a new venue for us tonight, The Neptune. One of those old movie theaters turned concert venue. I'm not sure what I think of the room, it was definitely not an easy night on stage and Jared said he had a tough time out front, but these things are always relative. More importantly, the audience was over the top in their enthusiasm. We have just had an excellent run through Western Canada, and I thought the audiences had been generally enthusiastic, but one song in to the set and we remembered why we love playing in this part of the world, the audiences are insane…in a good way. Seattle has always been good to us and tonight was no exception.

Tour Diary – Victoria, BC (April 25, 20130
Friday, April 26th, 2013
Upon setting foot in Victoria we were overwhelmed with the colours, the verdant green, the freakin' flaming tulips. A week of traversing a land locked in the dull gray of late winter made us forget that there are parts of the country where Spring has actually arrived. This large island off the west coast may be the only region where the season has changed, but at least we've found it and, man, does it feel and smell good. We had two perfect Spring days wandering around the streets of Victoria, which is probably the best time to visit this city. It gets a bit too overrun by the tourist trade in the summer and in winter the weather can get pretty miserable, but in springtime it is one of the more beautiful cities in the country: with the Island Mountain Range as a backdrop to the inner harbour and the tulips and cherry blossoms erupting on the Legislature and Empress Hotel lawns…..pure postcard material.
It was a beautiful venue tonight, a least it was beautiful to look at….not so beautiful if you are trying to perform with electric instruments and a drum kit. Another church. If there are any budding concert promoters out there, please heed a word of advice from someone who has been doing this for a long time…as a rule, churches suck as concert venues. Yes, we made a very famous album in a church, but the big difference is that we weren't trying to project the sound through a PA to 800 paying patrons. Stained glass, wooden pews, plaster and stone walls, an enormous metal pipe organ behind the stage, may all look spectacular, but they are really lousy surfaces to throw sound against, it all comes slapping back in your face and bounces unpredictably around the venue. According to reports from those in the audience, Jared did an excellent job at making the room sound as good as possible. On stage, we had a workmanlike show. In this type of room its very difficult on stage to hear the dynamics of the band so there is a lot of thinking, instead of feeling, going on. But I think we did a good job at making the night work. We all dug in and didn't let the show get away from us….and it appeared that most of the audience went home happy.

Tour Diary – Whitehorse, Yukon (April 23, 2013)
Thursday, April 25th, 2013
It was a long journey, but well worth it. The air alone is worth the trip. Whitehorse is much like any northern town in any northern country that we have had the pleasure of visiting. Canada, Norway, Sweden, Alaska…these towns are spare, built to take on the elements, low, squat buildings without a whole lot of ornamentation. These towns usually have their fair share of hippies and other counter-culture elements, people who don't want to deal with the goings on of the crazy world to the south or have found themselves anchored here for a myriad of reasons. It's these displaced souls, that spice these communities with brew pubs, cafe's and independent book stores, locally owned businesses that certain types of communities can grow up around. But ultimately, its all about the wilderness….it gets into your blood and you stay….or it drives you crazy and chases you away. I think I could put in some time up here, alone, without the pressure to compete….maybe in my next life.
We had the night off last night and spent it exploring the various bars that Whitehorse has to offer. Unfortunately Monday night is an off night in Whitehorse and most restaurants and bars were closed, but the few that were open did the trick. Eventually Jared, John and Jeff ended up in a game of "name that pelt" with the locals…it's a long story, but Jared won a pin and Jeff fondled a Beaver.
The show tonight was at the Yukon Arts Center and has been sold out for many many weeks. It's always fun to play places like this, where we have never performed not even within several hundred miles and the chances are that the show is a first for most of the audience. We had a pretty good show tonight, it wasn't completely locked in, but it was the type of show that probably came off ok out front. We had a tough time interpreting the audience, they seemed to be enjoying themselves but it was hard for us to figure out their trigger and we never felt like we truly had them. We head back south tomorrow, to Victoria, in search of warm weathe

Tour Diary – Banff, Alberta (April 21, 2013)
Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013
Another early morning call and another 4 hour drive down that f@c#ing highway. If life is a highway, I'd hate to be the poor sucker who happens to pick up Highway 2. I think I hear a new song coming on. Through the snow squalls and freezing rain we drove until, finally, coming around a bend, the prairie disappeared and the mountains reared above. Banff…..it doesn't get much more impressive: set in a valley with the Bow River snaking through it, ringed by truly awesome, snow packed peaks and ridges. The healing power of nature. It was cold today, but clear and bright and the mountain air was what one would call "bracing". I walked half way up Tunnel Mountain, and called home. I got caught up on the madness that is home, while watching the river tracing its route through the valley below and the snow sweeping off the peaks above.
We have a personal attachment to this town. In the summer of 1971 my dad was working out of Calgary so he rented a house on the side of Tunnel Mountain a few blocks from Banff's Main street. The whole family along with our grandmother decamped for the summer to Banff, Alberta. It was a magical summer. For half the time we were feral and had the town and the mountain as our open play ground. For the other half we went on family adventures to one unbelievable natural environment after the other. We saw bears and elk and mountain goats and meeses and scores of beautiful white tail deer. It was a summer that burned itself in to our memories. So its always a great feeling to return and stare at those mountain peaks: Rundle, Norquay, Cascade, Sulpher Mountain haven't changed a smidge over these past thirty years even if the town is almost unrecognizable.
We played Harvie Hall at the Banff Art Center. This center is an amazing resource, a place for artists of all stripes to go and extend their studies or workshop an idea or just escape to the mountains to be inspired and refreshed. It's an amazing place and full of positive energy. We had a great audience tonight. Big and boisterous. We played a pretty decent set. It wasn't perfect and it we seemed to lose each other at the end of the second set…but we channeled the positive vibes and delivered a very good show.
These last five nights in Alberta have been fantastic. The audience has shown up and contributed to the show every night in a positive way. The days have been long and grinding but the nights, thanks to the good folks of Alberta have been rejuvenating and fun. We've had a bunch of great shows, sold a ton of music (always a good sign), and experienced firsthand what makes Albertan's…Albertan, their land. Tough and gnarly and unrelenting. Tomorrow we have another early morning, a 90 minute drive to the Calgary airport, and a three hour flight to Whitehorse….and all the other stuff that involves flying with seven people and twenty pieces of checked baggage. This has been fun…hopefully we can make it a regular run, so that we can check out some more of this hard tack land. North to the Yukon we go.

Tour Diary – St. Albert, Alberta (April 19 and 20, 2013)
Sunday, April 21st, 2013
Pete's ipad sketch of the Alberta landscape (part 2):
The drive between Calgary and Edmonton has always been one that I dread. It always feels much longer that it should. It's kind of like the middle part of the drive along the 401 between Toronto and Montreal, it just goes on and on….Gasoline Alley, the oasis of gas stations and fast-food joints that sits on the outskirts of Red Deer, is almost a welcome respite, a break in the bleak sameness of the landscape.
We did the drive early this morning in order to get to a live radio interview with CKUA in Edmonton. CKUA is a small gem. It is a publicly funded and listener supported radio station that broadcasts throughout Alberta and its prime focus is arts and culture. They have been big supporters of the Canadian independent music scene for many, many years. If every province had a CKUA, life would be just a wee bit fuller.
We had two shows over two nights at The Arden Theater in St Albert, which is a small mall encased community just north of Edmonton. These are the two shows that this entire tour has been built around. They have been on our books for about two years and thankfully, with all of that lead time, they were both very sold-out. We had two extremely satisfying shows. The first night was excellent and the second night was very, very good (maybe a wee bit less intense than the first night). A great sounding theater and stage and two very engaged audiences. Sometimes all those highway miles pay off in a very nice way.

Tour Diary – Medicine Hat, Alberta (April 17, 2013)
Friday, April 19th, 2013
This is going to be a weird one. Planes, trains and automobiles…except there won't be any trains. We flew to Calgary yesterday, picked up a cargo and passenger van and headed East. Three hours later we found Medicine Hat and a hotel with an indoor water-slide.
On our flight from Toronto I sat behind the former captain of the Montreal Canadiens, current hall-of-famer, ten time Stanley Cup Champion, Yvan Cournoyer….numero douze…."the roadrunner". Jeff sat beside him and endured his elbows….lucky dog. He was sitting in the middle seat of the economy section of a budget airline…If he had played 20 years later he could have owned the airline. Timing is everything.
The drive across the Prairie was stupefying in its intensity, ferocious in its sameness, unrelenting, inexorable, grim, numbingly static. Miles and miles of power lines and pavement, a scattering of pumpers, a few collapsing homesteads and an unreachable horizon. God this country is huge. We skirted the edges of the badlands. This is very unforgiving land…in any season.
I don't have much of an opinion on Medicine Hat. It must be quite spectacular when everything is blooming and the river can be fished. But its economic heart has been ripped out by the malls on the outskirts. It's clean and tidy and slowly disappearing into the suburbs, which look much like any suburbs, outside of any town, in any corner of this continent. There is not much to recommend it to the tourist.
We played a beautiful hall tonight: The Esplanade Arts Centre. It wasn't a huge crowd but not bad considering we are truly outside of our normal touring territory. There seemed to be an appreciation and an understanding for the Nomad set and a buzz for the second. It was a great sounding stage and I think we played really well, especially in the second set which had a nice controlled groove about it. Day 1 done and gone.

Search suggestions in the browser are great, they speed up your searches and may even lead you in a direction you wouldn't have taken without them. However, they do pose a privacy issue, especially when the suggestions are baked into the address bar.
It's not a huge issue and it's not a privacy risk that much bigger than using any search engine.
But it's something that can be minimized, which is what Firefox for Android has managed in the latest version.
For the most part, what you type in the address bar of a browser is what you want to search for. That's particularly true for browsers that don't have a dedicated search box, like Chrome or Firefox for Android.
But if you're typing a URL, with no intention of reaching a website, suggestions mean that what you type still ends up with a search engine, Google or whatever else you use by default.
Firefox for Android has taken several steps to minimize this. For one, the search suggestions are completely optional and users get a clear notification on first use.
Suggestions are a new feature in Firefox for Android 18 that has just been released. Firefox 18 for Android is now available in the Play Store, to go along with the release of the desktop version.
Firefox is also smart about the suggestions and won't send any data to Google if what you're typing looks like a URL, i.e. it starts with a www or has a ":" or a "/" inside. Mozilla has always strived to design its browsers with privacy in mind and the mobile version doesn't change that.
Apart from smarter suggestions, the latest Firefox for Android also comes with Safe Browsing, the technology that aims to steer you away from malicious or potentially dangerous sites.
With malware on Android becoming a real risk, the move should be welcomed by Android users. Granted, there isn't that much malware that targets Android browsers, let alone Firefox, most comes from infected apps, but it doesn't hurt to be careful.

(Allendale, Mich.) For the second week in a row, the Cornerstone Women's Track & Field team competed at a brand new stadium. This time it was the Al Owens Classic, just the second meet held at Grand Valley State University's new facility.
Friday evening a stiff, cold wind made the conditions miserable, but the results were not. Brittany Green took down the freshman record in the javelin, throwing the spear 92' 10" to take tenth place. She broke the previous mark of 83' 6' set by Nicole Daniels in 2005.
Haley Russell was also unaffected by the weather. The freshman extended her best in the hammer throw to 133' 9" placing 29th
Saturday the weather was much better and the competition strong. Green got her day started running the third leg of the 4 x 100 meter relay. After Lindsay Lipa and Larissa Hampton completed the first two legs, Green's good pass to Lauren Pierce, the senior captain charged down the homestretch to give the Golden Eagles the win. Their time of 49.33 out of the second heat placed seventh overall.
From there, Brittany moved to the long jump where she broke her freshman record. Her second attempt measured 18' 5.25" which bettered the NAIA automatic qualifying standard and earned her second place out of 26 jumpers.
Back in the throws area, Russell tied her best in the shot put taking twelfth with a mark of 38' 3.25".
After missing the freshman record on the 800 meters by 1/100th of one second last week, Julie Oosterhouse set her sights higher and demolished the school record. In what has become her standard strategy, the freshman from Byron Center ran near the back of the pack, covering the opening lap in 66.7 seconds. A 68.0 second circuit brought her home in fourth place with a time of 2:14.75, an NAIA provisional qualifying time. In addition to wiping out Julia Contreras CU freshman mark of 2:20.47 from 2010, Julie erased the school record of 2:17.29 set in 2009 by Andi Ripley. In the next heat, Contreras became the fifth woman in program history to run under 2:20. Her PR of 2:19.06 was good for twelfth place.
In the 5,000 meters, Audry Yonge used her great finishing kick to take second with in PR, 18:33.19. CallyAnne Wyma was less than one second off her best, finishing twelfth in 19:06.01. Sydney Tremaine lowered her PR by 30 seconds, placing 25th in 19:52.68.
Lipa, Oosterhouse, Larissa Hampton and Pierce ran a season best 3:58.95 to take fifth in the 4 x 400 meter relay.

Despite the events name, the Committee of Invitation is divided into married and single categories.

Exactly where on the tie is the damage located?
I was quite upset to find that my favourite silk tie has frayed along one edge. The frayed, threadbare 'patch' is about half an inch long. Is there any way that I can fix this?
Exactly where on the tie is the damage located?
The damage is located about a third of the way up from the thicker end. I really hope I can save it. It's not particularly vintage - a 25-30yrs old Hugo Boss - but I really love it.
Here are a couple of images.

I haven't seen silk rewoven but assuming it might be, the cost for a larger area may be prohibitive. Can you find another second hand, even on ebay?

The body mass index (BMI) is your best starting point for health and body weight testing. This test is a very well-researched measurement tool and it only requires a scale. The average US adult needs to lose about 25 pounds. Find out how your body weight compares to your peers using the charts below.
Step on your scale, and then see your results on the mens and ladies charts below. When weighing in, be sure your scale is accurate. Remove your belt, shoes, phone, etc. Wear only undergarments if possible.
Find your height at the left side of the chart. Then find your weight within the chart on the same row as your height. Your BMI is at the top of the column where you find your weight.
If you are in the obese (red) or overweight (orange) category, your chart shows you how much weight you need to lose to be in the healthy weight category.
*The 'Y' on the chart is for the average US male. Your weight loss requirements may vary depending the amount of muscle mass in your body.
*The average lady is represented by the 'X' in the chart above.
Waist circumference and waist hip ratio are equally important measurements. One reason you benefit from the other tests is that the BMI can't account as well for differences in muscle mass.
For example, if you have a very muscular build, you could get an 'overweight' rating even though you may be in good physical condition. Or, if you are thin but sedentary (you don't exercise), you could get a 'healthy weight' rating even though you don't have enough muscle in your body.
For a more complete profile of your body weight, take the waist circumference and waist-hip ratio tests also. Then find your results on the obesity scale, which will analyze your health risk using your body mass index and the results of the other 2 tests.
Do you need to lose weight? Regular exercise will burn extra calories and build lean muscle mass, which will improve your metabolism. Begin a new active lifestyle that includes a healthy diet, and you'll make the changes your body needs for you to be well.

With our upcoming trip to England, I decided we would study about this country in home school. It's been so fun and the kids have really enjoyed studying about a place they are about to see with their own eyes. This week we made English Crumpets. I didn't actually have crumpet rings, so we had to improvise with a biscuit cutter. They didn't make them look the prettiest, but they sure tasted good!

Pope to visit Lebanon in September?
Catholic World News - January 20, 2012
Pope Benedict XVI will travel to Lebanon in September, according to the Roman news agency I Media. The Vatican has not confirmed the report.
Vatican officials reportedly have indicated that the Pope will travel to Lebanon in mid-September, to release his apostolic exhortation summarizing the work of the Synod of Bishops for the Middle East, which held its discussions in Rome in October 2010.
The papal trip will likely include stops in Beirut and in Bkerke, the site of the Maronite Catholic patriarchate. The visit would be the first papal trip to Lebanon since Blessed John Paul II traveled there 15 years ago. It would be the first opportunity for Benedict XVI to speak in the Middle East since the region was roiled by the "Arab Spring" uprisings of 2011.
