Facility extends a helping hand to expecting mothers
For more than 14 years, the Pregnancy Help Center of Williamson County has been a resource for soon-to-be mothers seeking support and guidance.
Approximately 350–400 new clients are served by the PHCWC each year.
"We just try to meet everyone with love and just care about them and meet them where they are, because everybody's got a story," PHCWC Executive Director Amy Scoggins said. "We're there to walk alongside the girl and to be a support to her."
That support comes in different ways at PHCWC, which is now located in a house on the south side of Georgetown. The center relocated to the new facility in March.
PHCWC offers free pregnancy tests and referrals to obstetricians, helps with pregnancy plans and can connect women to adoption agencies if needed.
"First and foremost, we're a pro-life pregnancy center," Scoggins said. "We do have some girls who make adoption plans, and it's really cool to watch it play out."
Classes on health, first aid, baby care, breastfeeding, money management and parenting techniques are also available, and women earn points when they attend classes, participate in surveys and write reports on parenting books. Those points can then be redeemed for baby-related items. Classes and support groups are available for expecting fathers as well.
Women can also take courses in job skills and check out professional maternity wear for interviews.
"There [are] a lot of the dads that come in … and they want to be good dads, and they want to be there, and they want to be supportive, and they want to do the right thing," Scoggins said. "So we want to do what we can do to help them out in that direction."
In addition to those services, volunteers also offer emotional support and personal relationships with each woman, regardless of their scenario.
"We just get to know them on a more personal basis, and that way we're able to help them more because they feel more comfortable with us," Scoggins said.
The center also offers a six-week course to aid in the healing process for women who have had abortions.
"The women I know that have gone through those classes have told me that it's been incredibly helpful, and it's just kind of helped them work through something they weren't real sure they needed to work through," she said.
PHCWC welcomes those interested in helping at the center. Prospective volunteers fill out an application, go through an interview process and train before working at PHCWC. People are needed as counselors for pregnant women, to fill in as receptionists and to keep the center clean.
PHCWC's annual fundraising banquet will be held Oct. 16.
Pregnancy Help Center of Williamson County, 508 FM 1460, 868-0153, www.phcwc.com

Port Orchard city manager question goes on November ballot
PORT ORCHARD - After months of debate, the City Council on Tuesday agreed to let voters decide on proposals to change the city's governmental structure.
The council voted 6-1 to place a measure on the Nov. 5 general election ballot that, if approved, would change the mayor-council format of city leadership to a city manager-council format.
In a concurrent proposal, Port Orchard's classification would change from a second-class city to a code city. Code cities, under state statutes, have greater control over local matters, as long as their actions conform to the state constitution. A code city has authority to adopt powers of initiative and referendum, options Port Orchard residents don't have now.
Members of the council who advocate a city manager say Port Orchard, which has grown by more than 2,000 residents since 2011, needs a professional to oversee day-to-day operations, staffing and the city budget.
"For me, I think it's a chance for our town to go to the next level and get some consistent, efficient management," Councilman Jerry Childs said.
Testimony from residents at two meetings in June showed mixed feelings on the proposal. While some said the change is needed, others questioned the value of added salary and benefit costs. Others didn't like relinquishing the chance to vote on the person who in effect is the city's CEO.
Mayor Tim Matthes, when public testimony ended, came out strongly against the city manager proposal. The mayor cited cost and said the voters should retain direct say in the position.
If voters approve the measure, the mayor's position, would disappear. All council members would have to run for re-election in February. Terms for the special election would be shorter than the usual two- and four-year terms. The law provides for a system of staggering the next regular election of council members so all positions are not open at once. The mayor's position would not go away until after the council has been reorganized through the special election.
Councilman Fred Chang, the lone dissenting voter, advocated splitting the two questions — city manager and code city — on the ballot, instead of packaging them as a unit. Chang said he was responding to constituents he's heard from who want the measures separated. But the rest of the council stuck with the single ballot measure containing two questions.
Councilwoman Carolyn Powers said Wednesday that she "grappled" with the resolution but ultimately decided putting it to voters was the right thing.
Talk of having a city manager has surfaced from time to time, even before former Mayor Lary Coppola reintroduced the proposal during his term in office. Councilman Rob Putaansuu resurrected the debate in January.
"(Tuesday) night was like fish or cut bait," Powers said. "This will make the determination so we won't have to keep dealing with it. ... I feel the matter's going to be settled once and for all, at least for the time being."
This story has been corrected. Former Mayor Lary Coppola served only one term in office. An earlier version said he served two.

Packaged Foods for Kids: Glass is Still the SafestWednesday, November 30th, 2011
A new study from the US Breast Cancer Fund has found that some packaged foods targeted at children contain high levels of Bisphenol-A (BPA). BPA has been found to have adverse affects on the development of children and may cause certain types of cancer. Unlike other packaging materials, glass contains no BPA.
The Breast Cancer Fund is urging parents to avoid packaging materials such as plastics and cans until legislation is implemented banning BPA in all food containers. The European Union and Canada have already banned the chemical in baby bottles.
One of the easiest ways for all of us to avoid ingesting BPA is to purchase our packaged foods in glass containers. Glass is still the only packaging material which is exempt from European Union rules on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH). It is also the only packaging material to be Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) by the US Food and Drug Administration.
To be sure your children are only getting the healthiest food, why not try canning your own food in glass jars? It's a very simple process and all you need is a large pot, glass jars with tight-fitting lids, and something to preserve. You can use fruit, vegetables, soup, meat and even fish. A good source of recipes is the Food in Jars blog. There are also great links to other canning sites, a reading list and loads of useful tips and tricks. For a quick overview of the process, take a look at this informative video.

- Free lifetime tire and mileage care
- Free Peace of Mind tire protection
- Trusted, world-class service
- Value-added free services
See our tire warranty here.
Free Lifetime Tire and Mileage Care
There's no reason to pay hundreds of dollars for services that maximize your tires' safety or help you squeeze more miles out of each tire and each gallon of gas. We do it at no cost to you, for the life of every tire you buy from us.
On tires purchased from us, Les Schwab will fix repairable car and light truck flats free of charge for the life of the tires.
To ensure even wear so tires perform correctly and last longer, Les Schwab will rotate car and light truck tires purchased from us free of charge for the life of the tires. Tire rotation is the practice of periodically swapping your tires and wheels around on the four corners of the vehicle, which promotes equal wear.
If you feel tire vibration, hit a pothole or other road hazard, notice uneven tire wear, or detect a difference in your vehicle's ride or handling, your tires may be out of balance. We will rebalance your Les Schwab tires free of charge for the life of your tires—and guarantee the work.
Proper tire air pressure is crucial for safe driving and the best gas and tire mileage. Tires commonly lose one to two pounds of pressure a month, depending on the weather. Les Schwab will check your air pressure and inflate tires as needed free of charge, for the life of your Les Schwab tires.
Free Peace of Mind Tire Protection
Even when you do your best to prevent it, tire damage or failure sometimes happens. It can be from hitting debris, nails, wood, potholes, or other hazards in the road, or from the occasional manufacturer's defect. Your Les Schwab Warranty comes with the following free services and assurances, to keep you safer on the road and cover uncertainties.
If your tire is damaged beyond repair due to a road hazard, we'll refund you the remaining value of the tire, or apply this amount towards the purchase of a new tire.
We'll check your tire wear, air pressure, visual alignment, shock/struts, brakes and battery free of charge, any time.
All new Les Schwab tires are covered by our free tire workmanship and material protection program. This means if anything goes wrong with your tire due to defects in manufacturing or materials, we'll replace it or give you cash or credit for the tire's value, for the life of the tire.

Graham Regional Medical Center in Texas is using the Emergency Department Information System from MEDHOST to upgrade its emergency department. The system will enable the hospital to improve patient tracking, nurse charting, physician documentation and computerized doctors' order entries.
When Graham's clinicians and administrators witnessed MEDHOST's ability to decrease patient wait times and increase patient safety, they envisioned the impact that MEDHOST would have on their ED. Graham will soon enjoy MEDHOST's simple, true touch solution, and because MEDHOST's easy-to-use EDIS is so quickly adopted by clinicians, it will allow for better and safer patient care, improved staff satisfaction, streamlined workflow and a more financially stable ED.
"When we observed nurses and doctors easily charting patient information with MEDHOST, it was clear that the system was intuitive and designed with the clinician in mind," said Blake Kretz, CEO of Graham Regional Medical Center. "MEDHOST will provide our clinicians with greater versatility and allow them to spend even more time at patient bedsides. By using MEDHOST to automate routine processes like charge capture and physician documentation via tablet PCs and in-room computer units, our medical staff will be able to devote more of their time to providing patients with the one-on-one care they deserve."
"We are excited that Graham Regional Medical Center has selected MEDHOST to meet all of their EDIS needs," said Craig Herrod, CEO of MEDHOST. "MEDHOST is proud of the fact that a rural hospital like Graham Regional can achieve the same dramatic results with our full product suite as larger urban facilities. We know that Graham Regional shares our core values, primarily a dedication to Customer care, and we look forward to working with Graham to ensure that each of their patients feels the benefits of a safer and more effective ED."
MEDHOST currently serves facilities such as Memorial Hermann Healthcare System in Houston, the Lifespan Health System of Rhode Island, and the Baylor Health Care System in Texas. MEDHOST is the preferred EDIS provider of VHA Inc., a national cooperative serving more than 2,400 not-for-profit healthcare organizations.
Graham Regional Medical Center is a non-profit municipal hospital licensed for 37 beds in Graham, Texas.

|Judge Gary Kreep
Judge Kreep was elected in 2012 with some controversy, after an interesting campaign, where voters elected the attorney who gained notoriety for leading the legal challenge to President Barack Obama U.S. citizenship. Judge Whitney also rankled some members of the local Occupy movement for his ruling in a recent case. The Superior Court website current lists Judge Kreep as "available for assignment" at the Kearny Mesa court. Meanwhile, Judge Whitney currently occupies Department C-42 and handles criminal trials according to the court's website.
Judges Kreep and Whitney will replace Commissioners Cindy D. Davis in Department C-5 and James T. Atkins in Department C-7 who primarily handled unlawful detainers. BlawgSD understands that Commissioner Davis will move to the family court while Commissioner Atkins will take on criminal arraignments. Both commissioners were regarded highly by the unlawful detainer bar.

The White House is welcoming today's crack-down by CBS News over a faulty report about President Bush's National Guard Service.
A producer and three executives were fired over the report, which was based on documents that may have been fake. The actions followed an independent investigation.
The CBS report alleged then-pilot Bush ignored an order to take a physical when he served in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War.
Press Secretary Scott McClellan says it was important for CBS to "get to the bottom" of how its report came be aired. He says the president and his aides appreciate the steps that have now been taken to "hold people accountable."
McClellan says he hopes the network will take steps to prevent a recurrence.

DENVER (AP) - A Colorado plan to set up the world's first financial system for marijuana survived less than 24 hours before state lawmakers changed course and shelved the idea.
The proposal would have allowed state-licensed marijuana businesses to create a financial co-op, sort of an uninsured credit union.
The measure was introduced late Wednesday and cleared a House committee on Thursday. But a few hours later, another House committee gutted the plan by amending the bill to say that Colorado will continue studying the problem of marijuana businesses having a hard time accessing banking services.
Lawmakers from both parties expressed reservations about whether the financial-services plan would work.

As you'd guess from the rather clever title, this is the remixed version of the massive hit album Attack Decay Sustain, but could it be better than the original?
Not according to Dean Driscoll (see links below) and I'd tend to agree with him on this one as you can cherry pick you're way through this collection, either by favourite tracks (obviously 'It's The Beat' and 'Hustler') or favourite remixers (Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve and Joakim).
But before that, I first came across James Ford in his former life as the "4th member" of the Test Icicles with the formative 7″ 'Boa Vs. Python'; who would have thought that it would be Ford (with James Shaw) that would get the big hit album? And by coincidence, Lightspeed Champion (aka Devonte Hynes, formerly DevMetal of Test Icicles and mixtape expert) was spotted in Soho record shops on Thursday in his distinctive head gear. Equally odd Simian Mobile Disco went on to tour supporting the Klaxons last year. I must admit that when I saw them at Southampton, I thought SMD stole the show with their phallic tower of hardware with knobs on plus dry ice as they equally appeal to the nu-raver techno heads and old acid ravers that are still able to go out.
Anyway, back to Sample And Hold, and talking of rave, one of the best tracks is the Oscillation remix of 'Tits And Acid' which is not surprising for anyone Out Of Phase. We last came across Joakim on the Life Beyond Mars – Bowie Covered with his cover of 'A New Career In A New Town' and he does a fine job on 'Hustler' without being too adventurous. And you could say the same about 'It's The Beat' and 'Hotdog' but the one I was looking forward to was 'Love' by Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve.
You'll recall that Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve are Richard Norris (a founding member of The Grid) and Erol Alkan who did the brilliant remix Roscoe's 'Midlake' (as found on LateNightTales : Groove Armada) and they don't disappoint with a love-in bongo trip.
Others to look out for are Simon Baker's 'Sleep Deprivation' and the Silver Apples. The mysterious Silver Apples are inspiration for SMD as they first made an underground name for themselves with "nine audio oscillators and eighty-six manual controls…The lead and rhythm oscillators are played with the hands, elbows and knees and the bass oscillators are played with the feet." You get the idea and if you're into experimental psychedelic rock (like Biggabush/Lightning Head), the remix of 'Scott' is worth getting this album alone. Also look out for reissues of Silver Apples (1968) and Contact (1969) albums on CD for the full experience.
I wonder why no remixes from label mates Conor Oberst or Bloc Party? Anyway, in this ipod age of cherry picking, this is a highly recommended mixed affair and a good warm-up for their This Is Not London night.

On Wednesday, we told you about the offseason itinerary of Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, Eagles coach Andy Reid, Viki ngs coach Brad Childress and Panthers coach John Fox.
They're traveling to Afghanistan on a USO tour, and on their first day, they flew to Germany, met American soldiers at a hospital, took off for their flight to Afghanistan, hit a bird and returned to Germany for the night.
David Krichavsky, the NFL's Director of Community Affairs, is trailing the four coaches and writing about what they see and what they do. The latest installment appeared on the Cincinnati Enquirer's site today.
A funny story from the dispatch:
No recounting of Day 2 of our USO tour would be complete without revisiting Day 1, when our attempted flight to Afghanistan was aborted due to a bird flying into our plane's engine during takeoff. As noted in the Day 1 blog, Eagles coach Andy Reid quickly became the scapegoat for this quirky accident, largely because he was in the cockpit during takeoff and because of his team's nickname, "The Birds."
Coach Reid continued to take significant abuse from the other coaches on Day 2 of the tour, such that anything that went wrong was immediately ascribed to Andy. The story about the bird got even funnier though on Day 2 when a couple of additional details about the incident emerged: 1) Where was the pilot flying our plane from? Philadelphia, of course. 2) What did the co-pilot yell over his headset to the pilot and crew just after we took off and the danger became evident? "Bird Alert! Bird Alert!" Maybe Coach Reid and the Eagles did bring some bad karma to that flight after all.
Somehow, though, the coaches ended the day in Germany once again. At some point, I assume, they'll head into more hostile territory. Here's hoping the coaches - when they finally reach Afghanistan - don't perform the same routine as the Ravens cheerleaders when they entertained troops in 2002 (pictured above).

Robert Sandman
- Filed Under
A felon held out West and wanted for questioning by Georgia police in the suspicious death of a Sleepy Hollow native is a free man - for now - after an apparent interstate mix-up led to his release, authorities said.
The oversight allowed Robert Craig Sandman to walk out of jail about two months ago after he was arrested in New Mexico following a cross-country joyride in a stolen 1988 Porsche belonging to the dead man, Donald Singer.
Police in Duluth, Ga., said they were waiting for Sandman - who was released from a Georgia prison shortly before Singer's death there - to be extradited, but that never ...

Emerging Artist: R A HoltJuxtapoz // Wednesday, 16 Apr 2008
Holt has one of the widest ranges we've seen in a while- this guy works with oil, watercolor, graphite, marker, digital, charcoal… you name it; Holt has probably worked with it. And he's even good in every medium. Really good.
According to the gallerist that discovered him, Holt is self-taught, with absolutely no formal training. He works in a factory as a pressman, and creates this marvelously broad spectrum of artwork in his spare time. So, the next time you're feeling uncreative or frustrated, hop over and check out Holt's Flickr page. It's guaranteed to put you right back in the swing of things.

"Good stories, amateur narration"
I had never heard of this book or this author, but found it on a college reading list and decided to investigate. The stories are about the people in a small town some time around the turn of the 20th century. The stories seem quite well-written, only somewhat dated, and many of the characters and events in one story will connect with the characters and events in another. The five story arc of "Godliness" is unforgettable. Unfortunately, it appears that the narrators (a different one for each story) were selected because they were authors, rather than because they had any talent for narration. None of them is good, many of them are adequate, some of them are barely tolerable. In another annoying move, the authors discuss the book and its stories, but the discussion is placed at the end of the book, and the authors frequently don't say which story they are discussing, which makes their comments ("My story really shows development of character") difficult to follow. I can't understand why the producers chose these readers, but since I see there are two other versions of this book available, I suggest you try one of the others.
This must be listened to twice because it's twice as good as most things you'll ever listen to, 'nuf said.
"Weird and dark"
Not what I wanted in a book: creepy mentally perverted (as well as sexually perverted) short stories.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – A 40-year-old McLaughlin man has been sentenced to nearly six years in prison for sexual abuse of minors.
Michael Seibel was convicted in August of two counts of sexual abuse of a minor and two counts of abusive sexual contact. The charges related to two victims on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.
U.S. District Judge Charles Kornmann sentenced Seibel this week to 71 months in custody and 5 years of supervised release, nearly $2,000 in restitution and $400 in special assessments to the victim assistance fund.
Seibel was turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshal to begin serving his sentence.

Javascript statistical library
jsRegress is a statistics library for node.js. Still very much under development. All working features tested for accuracy.
npm install jsregress
##Currently working
##Planned features
##Why a statistical package in node?
Yes, you could get all this and more in R or SAS and yes computing the Mann-Whitney U in SAS will probably be quicker than computing it in a single-threaded node.js instance. However, sometimes you don't need the best performance, and sometimes you just want to stay in node. This library is for people running statistical tests as a part of a larger Node.js system. Or it's for people that just love javascript (Like I do!)

Edwardian Makeover Photo: Bruce Damonte
Mark Reilly Architecture is a full-service architectural design firm specializing in renovations, additions, and new construction projects throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
We collaborate with clients to design homes that fit their budget, building site, and way they live. By listening closely, we develop customized, well-detailed solutions that meet their individual needs. We then follow through with strong execution to create warm, light-filled living spaces.
Our firm prides itself on its strong design ideas, problem-solving skills, approachability, and ability to navigate the permitting process. Rather than follow a particular design style, we strive to maximize natural light, open up views, and connect to the outdoors. We respect the old, integrate the new, and make generous use of natural materials in a sustainable manner.
Projects range from kitchen remodels and basement build-outs, to complete house renovations and ground-up construction.
San Francisco Condo - Kitchen Renovation: Industrial French lights, Douglas fir cabinets, soapstone countertops, and Heath tile backsplash give this kitchen a modern, yet warm, feel. A new sliding door and patio link the space to the outdoors.
San Francisco Condo - Living Room Relocation: A former dining room and office were converted into the new living room. A reclaimed Douglas fir staircase leads to the new master suite above. Glass in the master bedroom floor and a skylight above the stair allow natural light to filter into this formerly dark space.
San Francisco Condo - Master Bath Addition: Wood and tile walls add warmth and texture to this new master bath. The vanity sink floats off the floor to make the space feel larger and more open.
San Francisco Condo - Master Bedroom Attic Addition: The walls of this master bedroom addition are covered in vertical grain Douglas fir. The original attic access stair was maintained as a scultural element of the new roof deck.
San Francisco Condo - Outdoor Shower: An outdoor shower was mounted to the Ipe rainscreen that covers this attic addition. Planter boxes surround the shower and roof deck.
Palo Alto - Cottage Bath Renovation: This guest cottage bath was given new life by opening the ceiling to the roof framing, adding a new skylight over the tub, and installing local Heath floor tiles and classic beveled subway wall tiles. The tub was repurposed from a bathroom in the main house. New vintage industrial plumbing fixtures add to the classicly modern feel. Photo: Peter Medilik
Palo Alto - Cottage Bath Renovation: This guest cottage bath was gutted, reconfigured, and rebuilt. The design mixes modern and vintage inspired elements to update, yet respect, this historic home. A new skylight over a repurposed tub bathes the space with natural light. New radiant heat tubing under modern Heath tile keeps the space warm. Photo: Peter Medilek
Palo Alto - Guest Cottage Renovation: This guest cottage was dark, cold, and disconnected from the garden. The formerly flat ceiling was opened to the roof rafters to create more visual space. The walls and ceiling were clad with v-groove boards and painted white to add texture and reflect more natural light. A bay window with window seat was added to bring in light and connect the space to the garden. Radiant heat was installed under a new wood floor to help keep the space warm. Photo: Peter Medilek
Orinda Ranch House - Entry: Bright orange doors mark the entry to this newly constructed East Bay ranch house. An industrial barn light, large aluminum windows, and painted shiplap siding add to the venacular style of the house.
San Francisco Townhouse - Master Bedroom Renovation: A gas fireplace was added to this master bedroom and surrounded by slate tile to add visual weight. V-groove board walls hide the master bedroom closets. A floating cabinet in the bath beyond helps to enlarge that space. Photo: Peter Medilek
San Francisco Edwardian - Kitchen Renovation / Addition: This kitchen was moved to the location of a former bedroom. Light colors, satin finish paint, a glass backspalsh, and polished countertops help reflect light and visually expand the size of the small space. Douglas fir cabinets add warmth. Full height upper cabinets, back-to-back island cabinets, and a large pantry maximize storage. Photo: Bruce Damonte
San Francisco Edwardian - Dining & Deck Renovation / Addition: This Edwardian was gutted and expanded within it's existing building footprint. Rear stairs were removed and a Nana window wall was added to connect the home to its stellar views and deck, and to flood the space with natural light. A floating wall of painted v-groove boards provides separation, yet openess, between the new kitchen and dining room. A new stair links this level to the new office and guest bedroom below. Photo: Bruce Damonte
Belvedere - Kitchen / Dining Relocation: In this historic Belvedere home, two small bedrooms were replaced with a new kitchen, dining room, and powder room. Widened doorways link these spaces to the adjacent living room. Photo: Paul Dyer
Belvedere - Kitchen / Dining Relocation: The need to preserve historic windows, with sills that fell below counter height, was resolved by "floating" the new prep and clean-up sinks in front of the windows. A mix of old trim, crisp white cabinets, and a marble splash gives the space a bright, modern feel. Photo: Paul Dyer
Belvedere - Floating Kitchen Sink: The need to preserve historic windows -- whose sills fell far below counter height -- led to "floating" the new prep and clean-up sinks in front of the windows as a solution. Photo: Paul Dyer
Belvedere - Living Room Renovation: Removing cabinetry, adding new floors, and repairing old trim created a prime spot for evening game nights. Photo: Paul Dyer

LOVE this foundation. For starters, it's a really nice texture and it blends easily. The finish is very natural, not matte but not really glowy either. It does have a scent but it's nothing really strong or annoying. To me it smells like sun tan lotion and I can only smell it when I'm applying it, once it's on my skin I dont notice the smell anymore. I also like how it can be used on lots of skin types. I have oily combo skin and all I have to do is powder it to make it last and it looks great! It also suites dryer skin types and looks beautiful on them. The lasting power for ME is about 6-8 hours but I don't wear my makeup all day long so that's perfect for me. If you want it to last longer than that I would suggest a primer or a powder and you'd probably have to touch up a bit throughout the day. It gives me enough coverage to cover my pesky dark circles and evens out my skin tone but it's not for people who want FULL coverage and need to cover bad scaring or acne. It's very light but it doesn't look like I'm wearing nothing which I like. I also live in Florida where it's very hot and I don't have an issue with it slipping off my face.I like how it's oil free as well. Apparently it has lotus flower water in it which I think is what gives it the nice smell. You had to shake it up before you use it or else it comes out watery and it separates. As for the packaging, the squeeze top gets messy. I wish it came in a pump bottle like the rest of Chanel's foundations. However I do like that it's plastic and not frosted glass like the others. You can put it in your bag or travel with it without worrying about it breaking. It's very expensive, 45 dollars is what I paid for mine. If it were cheaper I wouldnt feel the need to look around for cheaper options. I will continue to use this until I find something better. I do like this foundation though.

Bought this a few days ago and I LOVE it it looks just like skin but better and feels really light. This would be my HG foundation if 3 hrs into wearing it I hadn't developed a few cystic pimples. UGH such a disappointment
since I don't think I will ever find a foundation that compares to this one!

Thus far has been my absolute favorite foundation - though I'm experimenting with a few others before I buy my next bottle. It's great for light to medium coverage and goes on light and silky smooth. Extremely light, I never feel as though I'm wearing anything. Has a very subtle scent, (similar to Chanel moisturizers which I love). My only complaint is that you REALLY have to shake it up before every use because the foundation can separate from the water a little if you don't.

This lotion/foundation has changed my makeup routine. I absolutely love it! It looks and feels like skin. I'd definitely recommend it and purchase again despite the $46 price tag. Plus it has SPF which is only a bonus! Just take off the lid place your finger on the dispenser and shake this way it doesn't spill all over the lid. Loving this!

I've decided to get this after having heard crazily good reviews about this product. But this foundation breaks me out. Surprisingly, it is also drying for my combination skin -- perhaps due to the wintry weather here -- on my nose and under my eyes. It creases after a good eight hours or so even with my skindinavia makeup finishing spray. Most of my face that doesn't dry up after my application of this foundation does look somewhere in between matte and dewy. However, I have gotten small pimples on my chin and on the sides of my nose. This product also has the signature scent of chanel, but I'm not too much of a fan. I possess a number of foundations and BB creams and I have only started sourcing for a new one because my skin has been drying out too much since the start of this winter. I must say this foundation has been disappointing on a whole, and I won't repurchase! It's also terribly expensive here in Australia.
EDIT ON 9TH MAY 2013: I've decided to change my rating to a 5 after having experienced a dramatic change to my skin. I've had serious cystic breakouts which were hormonal and likely to have little to nothing to do with this foundation. However, after having seen the dermatologists and spent many hours fixing my skincare routine and pre-makeup routine, I've finally found the ideal way to make this foundation work. I've realised that prepping the face before using this foundation is so important and it makes such a great difference to the lasting power and look of this foundation throughout the day. FIrst, I use the three-step skincare from Sulwhasoo -- first care serum, toner/essence, moisturiser. Then, I take a pea-sized amount of Nivea Daily Essentials Express Hydration Primer For Normal and Combination Skin and mix it with the same amount of this foundation -- and the coverage is extremely good, natural, and lasts all day! (in fact, it even gets better towards the end of the day). The coverage is also very buildable so I can always add a little on top of healing scars to conceal them. This has become my ultimate holy grail!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Green
I ADORE this foundation. It has a finish like no other- it FEELS like sheer, matte satin, but looks glowy. I have combination skin with congestion and breakouts in my T-zone (mostly around my nose and chin) and it magically covers imperfections, but still looks and wears light and natural. I was matched in BR10 in the dead of winter, and throughout most of the year, it is the best match I have ever had in a foundation. Right now, I am tan, so its too light, but if I really want to wear it, I just swirl some bronzer on top. I love that it comes in a squeeze bottle that sits upright... hygienic and it doesn't spill out when not in use. It is definitely long wearing on me and keeps my skin feeling matte throughout the day. I also don't think it oxidizes much at all. You wouldn't have to powder it, but I go over it lightly with MUFE HD powder, lightly or Smashbox Halo to up the coverage.
Now to the cons...you don't get much product for your $50. It is truly a tiny bottle of foundation and I have gone through it faster than any other foundation I have owned- typically it takes me a year or two to finish a bottle, but I've gone through this in about 6 months. Granted, I pretty much never wear the same foundation two days in a row...I have a couple that I rotate through. I also don't think it photographs well and it won't cover texture issues or really bad breakouts.
I still really love this and will repurchase when I run out (hopefully by then Chanel will offer a bigger bottle for my $50).

Count me upon those who found their usually clear skin now appearing with cystic acne bumps. I think it has something to do with the repugnant scent, of which Chanel seems to unnecessarily taint all of their products with. Otherwise, I found BR10 to be the best color match I've ever found for my cool toned German skin and would have considered this my holy grail foundation.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Olive, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
More of a tinted moisturiser than a foundation- coverage is very light and you can't really build up on it.
Leaves skin feeling soft and doesnt have that shiny after tone, not very long lasting, I prefer Perfection Lumiere - has better coverage and has the benefits of concealing too!
This was also quite pricey for such a small bottle (since you have to use quite a bit daily) therefore I will not be buying this again!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Red, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
I absolutely love this foundation, it gives me a good coverage but doesn't make my face cakey looking. It feels like I have no make up on at all!
This foundation glides on my skin easily and leaves a matt finish. I apply it with my fingers. It doesn't make me brake out.
I'm on my second bottle of this foundation, and I paid 48,70 euros of it. I think this product is worth the price.

This and Double Wear are my by far favorite foundations. I use Chanel as my everyday foundation- it gives me just enough coverage and looks super natural. If I need it to last longer I use pressed foundation on top and makeup setting spray, for everyday just a translucent setting powder. I have normal skin and I love this watery consistency. Because of it I use only a bit of the product and it covers the whole face. Some people complain about its lasting power- yes it will not last from 8am to 10pm but this is not what you should use it for. If you need a full coverage foundation pick Double Wear instead, this one will stay on forever but looks way less natural as well. In general: perfect everyday foundation.

I was very surprised when I got my dress. I ordered it in the color shown and it is just BEAUTIFUL! I am especially happy with the fabric. It is a nice weight and has a beautiful irridescent schean to it -- it is really very nice. I ordered a taffeta dress from another place and the fabric was not nice at all -- very dull, no life to the fabric. This dress I ordered by ready made size and I will need very few alterations. Also, the people there are really nice to deal with. They answer your questions withing minutes and are very anxious to please. I will definitely be buying more from them. Told my daught about my excellent experience with you also and she is going to order too. Thank you and keep up the good work!!

No 'fright wig', no dark sunglasses: an intimate portrait of Andy Warhol
In public, Andy Warhol was seen as the consummate artist-showman, presiding over his celebrity-riddled studio, The Factory, surrounded by socialites and rarely seen out of his famously flamboyant 'fright wig' by paparazzi. In private, he was a near-recluse who lived with his mother and had a terror of ageing and death.
These little seen aspects of his life only became more pronounced after he was shot in an assassination attempt in 1968. Now, an image that captures Warhol's vulnerability will be displayed in Britain for the first time since it was painted in 1970.
The portrait of the American father of Pop Art shows Warhol as he was 40 years ago: ageing, alone, cripplingly shy with his eyes closed, and two red scars running across his chest that bear testimony to the attack on his life.
Until this point, he was rarely seen out of his fright wig and slick black turtlenecks and suits which he liked to wear on New York's celebrity circuit.
Alice Neel, a fellow New York artist somehow convinced Warhol to come to her studio and take off his shirt so she could paint him as he had never been seen before.
The image, which reveals a man far removed from the cool, composed and glamorous character he consistently presented to the world, will be shown at the Whitechapel Gallery, in East London, from 8 July, as part of an exhibition dedicted to works by Neel called "Painted Truths".
Achim Borchardt-Hume, chief curator at the Whitechapel Gallery, described the painting – never before seen out of America – as one that redefined his image.
"He was a reticent person who had always projected this image of presiding over The Factory and its hedonistic environment," he said.
Mr Borchardt-Hume believes that Neel, who formed intimate friendships with her sitters and often persuaded them to remove their clothes, had invited Warhol into her studio in 1070, two year after the radical feminist, Valarie Solanas, attempted to kill him, and convinced him to remove his shirt to reveal his wounds.
"This is one of only two documents which show the scars left on Warhol's chest from the attack. The other one is a photograph of Warhol by Richard Avedon, which shows just his chest with his black jumper pulled up, which is quite fetishistic. This painting by Neel shows him as a very vulnerable person – his eyes are almost closed, he is ageing, he is even more reclusive after 1968; his vulnerability is completely exposed. It brings out the great tension between the image of him as the man wearing a wig with celebrities around him, and the man that he was. It made him real," he said.
Solanas originally wrote a play called Up Your Ass about a man-hating prostitute. In 1967, she approached outside his studio and asked him to produce the play.
Intrigued by the title, Warhold accepted the script for review but sources from inside his Factory reported that Warhol feared it was so pornographic, it must be a police trap.
Solanas began to telephone Warhol, demanding the return of the script, which he had since lost. When he admitted this, she demanded money as payment for its loss, eventually seeking him out and shooting him. Although he survived, surgeons had to open his chest to massage his heart to help stimulate its movement again, and he suffered from its physical effects for the rest of his life.

July 21st Shop watch: Omegas Roman Holiday
Next time you're strolling past the Spanish Steps en route to the designer boutiques that line Rome's fashionable Via Condotti, leave some time to check out the newly opened Omega super-boutique at numbers 38-40.
Rather virtuously, the new store shares the grounds of an 18th century townhouse with the late-Renaissance Church of Santissima Trinità. And, if you're on the lookout for a new watch to add to your collection, the elegant boutique has three floors of Omega timepieces for you to explore and try.
With 162 years of watchmaking behind them, we feel there's poetic licence in the eternal timekeepers setting up shop in the eternal city.

|Targeting gemcitabine containing liposomes to CD44 expressing pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells causes an increase in the antitumoral activity.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23384419 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is often diagnosed when metastatic events have occurred. The early spread of circulating cancer cells expressing the CD44 receptor may play a crucial role in this process. In this study, we have investigated the cellular delivery ability and both in vitro and in vivo anti-tumoural activity of liposomes conjugated with two different low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA 4.8kDa and HA 12kDa), the primary ligand of CD44, and containing a lipophilic gemcitabine (GEM) pro-drug. By confocal microscopy and flow cytometry analyses, we demonstrate that the cellular uptake into a highly CD44-expressing pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line is higher with HA-conjugated (12kDa>4.8kDa) than non-conjugated liposomes. Consistently, in vitro cytotoxic assays display an increased sensitivity towards GEM containing HA-liposomes, compared to non-conjugated liposomes. Conversely, CD44 non-expressing normal cells show a similar uptake and in vitro cytotoxicity with both HA-conjugated and non-conjugated liposomes. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the HA-liposomes are taken up into the cells via lipid raft-mediated endocytosis. All the liposome formulations containing GEM show a higher antitumoral activity than free GEM in a mouse xenograft tumour model of human pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The 12kDa HA-liposomes have the strongest efficiency, while non-conjugated liposomes and the 4.8kDa HA-liposomes are similarly active. Taken together, our results provide a strong rationale for further development of HA-conjugated liposomes to treat pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Fresh ingredients and an authentic approach make Cabo Modern Mexican Tequila Bar a standout choice for Mexican cuisine in Rehoboth Beach.History

"It was in operation for 27 years prior to me purchasing the restaurant in 2007," Caputo said.

Women on top: Nutrisystem's Dawn Dier and BistroMD's Dr. Cederquist Share their Stories of Success
A week ago my friend who works for WISE dropped off an invitation to a new event called "People Like Me" which aims to help girls discover their creativity, hone their skills of communication and make them more successful in bagging STEM opportunities. WISE was founded on the principle to inspire young girls to study and build careers using science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). With their unique approach to attain gender balance in the STEM workforce, WISE has offered help to several institutions in mentoring and training young women and encouraging them to follow fields of studies which were initially considered to be men's domain. Of course, WISE has led very effective campaigns over the years with the vision to improve the current statistics of 13% of women who are in the STEM workforce to 20% by the year 2020. With their multiple events lined up to achieve such a goal, I would not consider it a surprise to see women finally being able to achieve a breakthrough in their chosen fields of work, acquire the right of equal pay, and to never face restrictions based on gender bias. Current affairs already prove to be much more receptive to the idea of gender equality in different work fields. Take the example of Dawn Zier and Dr. Caroline Cederquist. Both these women have become prominent public figures, leading their businesses to newer heights and flouting superficial gender-specific prejudices that society often installs as glass ceilings for women. Dawn Zier, the first woman to become the chief executive of Nutrisystem food delivery diet, has truly taken this service to a larger audience and made it possible for more people to eat healthy again! The company is now giving away a Nutrisystem coupon code and a Nutrisystem discount code that can be used to get their special meal plans delivered at a discounted rate.
On the other hand, BistroMD was founded by Dr. Caroline Cederquist, with the intention of providing great meal deliveries to people who want to engage in weight loss programs. Customers can now access their special food plans for a discounted price if they redeem their current Bistro MD coupon at the site www.bistromd.com.

ReviewGist App
Read reviews on the go.
3 September 2013 by Shantha Kumari
The best thing about wireless connectivity is that with a good internet connection you can print any colored documents from within your home or from office. Applications such as Apple's AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, Samsung's Mobile Print App let you print wirelessly, files from your mobile device, without having to transfer to a computer first. Some printers offer the ADF ( automatic document feeder) to supply multiple pages for scanning or copying along with duplex printing thus saving time and effort.
When connected to a workgroup or network, only authorised persons can access the printer thus adding security to the wireless functionality. Capable of printing up to 30 ppm these highly efficient multifunction printers produce high quality prints in color. Its worth the money you spend on the color toners down the lane.
The best all in one wireless color laser printer of 2013 is recommended by us based on the reviews from experts.

Hi Ted!
How far could you position your camera from the tree? I suggest mounting the camera on a tripod, use a cable to trip the shutter. The reason: maybe they will love this photograph and order a large print from you. I have several 30" x 40" prints on display in my studio and they can provide income to get extra film toys!
The reason I ask is perhaps you could get away far enough where the tree would be in the background and the folks in the wedding party would be in the foreground (have them stand away from the tree and fairly close to your camera - perspective!). If you could get far enough away then maybe you could capture the entire tree. A wide angle lens could help but I recommend checking things out as you don't want to distort the bodies of people in your photograph.
What time of day will this take place?
At any rate, I think this is a good idea, a great idea if your clients wants this as part of their wedding day photographs.

Visa rush puts Territory jobs at risk
- From: NT News
- August 12, 2014
FOREIGN workers will be subsidised and fast-tracked into the NT under a new federal pilot program that could cost Territorians their jobs, union leaders say.
The "designated area migration agreement" has not officially been launched by the Government, but labour groups say the program will pit Territorians against cheaper semi-skilled foreign workers.
Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union NT spokesman said Rohan Webb said: "It's a travesty that we bring workers in when there can be so much more done in the local community.
"We've seen no vision from government at any level … about long-term viability in the Territory and creating opportunities for the hard working men and women up that way. All we've seen is 'open up the floodgates and bring a lot more people in'."
The AMWU is calling for a review of the 457 visa program and for both levels of government to develop future opportunities for Australians in the Territory before moving ahead with the new pilot program.
The Federal Government has said the program is needed to help with labour shortages, in part caused by Inpex's Ichthys project that has attracted many workers from other industries across the NT.
Concessions will be made for employers who can show a demonstrable need to hire a foreign worker, the details of which are not completely known at this time.
Chrissy Von Wootten, a trained seafarer who is currently without work, says the new program could make finding a job more difficult for Territorians.
"I'm not confident at all. You keep applying, keep applying," she said. "Shouldn't we get first preference for these jobs? We have skilled workers unemployed at the moment, so where's the fair go?"
Federal Liberal MP Natasha Griggs said the program was not intended to replace local workers with foreigners. Ms Griggs says the program will be monitored closely to avoid any potential employer misuse and will not weaken English requirements for entry to the country.
"The last thing we want to do is take away opportunities for locals," she said. "There's more small business operators crying out for workers than there is unemployed people crying out for jobs in the Territory."
Deputy Chief Minister Dave Tollner applauded the new program and said it would help to address the NT's labour shortage.

A serious issue that needs to be dealt out of the hand, but... @AF of HD is saying sexual arousal of Aussie workers is an issue (valid point), @ David of Darwin contradicts his entire argument with his typo. Looks like the Department of Education could solve some confusion, by upping their game (I make the odd typo too, but these were funny).
Concerned Australian Senior of Darwin Rural Posted at 12:28 PM August 14, 2014
If the Government had supported Apprenticeships say 4-10 years ago then we would not have a shortage of skilled labour. We need to train our own kids to have a workforce without getting any overseas workers to do our jobs !
funnybunt of NSW Posted at 9:00 AM August 14, 2014
Australians have been sold out, ripped off by the greedy few that run the place, and how come fuel is cheaper in Pine Creek then Darwin? its cheaper in out back S.A. then Darwin! watch the new class of people, the working poor emerge.

As a general rule, SEC filers must file each required periodic report (i.e. 10-Q and 10-K) separately, and if there is an amendment to something disclosed in a report (such as financial statements), then they must file each amended periodic report separately.
Likewise, a filer that is delinquent with more than one filing generally has to file each delinquent filing separately. We sometimes represent clients who, for a variety of reasons, are delinquent in a year or more of required filings, and we help them put together a package of several 10-Q's and/or 10-K's, all to be filed simultaneously, in order to get them current again.

Ownership questions remain after house reoccupied during protest
PORTLAND, Ore. - Protesters still occupied a Northeast Portland home Wednesday, a day after helping its former owner break inside.
Police are still trying to figure out who owns the house and determine if the occupation by Alicia Jackson, who lost the home to foreclosure last year, is legal.
Jackson says she has a right to be inside because her foreclosure was unlawful. It's also why she's suing nearly two dozen banks and other companies for $400,000 in damages.
Those close to Jackson said Wednesday that she was too nervous to discuss details of her foreclosure.
Hundreds of protesters helped her reclaim the house Tuesday. But only a handful of them remained at the house the next day, ready to help if someone tried to push Jackson out.
But it won't be police – at least not now.
"At this point, we have not identified who or what entity owns it and nobody is calling us a "victim" of trespassing," said Portland police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson. "Until we have that information and someone that lawfully has the authority to "trespass" the woman that moved back in, we will not proceed with any police action."
"They're in there. You can't use the police as a pawn. The police are here to protect us and not as a pawn. Let the courts settle it," said John Burrows who owns multiple properties in the area. But he said he doesn't agree with Jackson breaking into the home, because he says it's not legal.
He says he doesn't want to judge Jackson without knowing all the details. But like other neighbors interviewed for this story, he questioned whether she showed responsibility in taking on the mortgage.
"All of us would be evicted if we didn't pay," he said.
Protesters wanted to highlight Jackson's story as an example of what's happening across the country.
Questions remain, however, about how much she paid on the mortgage before she stopped making payments.
The last company listed in real estate records that owned the home, Fox Capital Corporation out of Beavercreek, did not responded to requests for comment Wednesday.
