British illustrator Michael Gage, 45, spent 16 days in Cuba in early 2007 and produced more than 100 sketches that are a beautiful and unique visual record of life and places on the Caribbean island. "It's amazing how much work you can do if you keep your sketchbook in your hand all the time," he says. As soon as I noticed his bright and sunny sketches appear on the USk Flickr group I knew I wanted to know more about his experience and checked in with him recently.
A graduate in Fine Art and Art History, Gage says he didn't touch a paintbrush for about 10 years after leaving college. It was rediscovering the joy of sketching that got him back into art, and he has been working intermittently as an artist, illustrator and graphic designer for about eight years now. He lives in a village halfway between London and the South Coast of England.

How was it like to sketch in the streets of Cuba? What prompted your trip to the island?
My trip to Cuba was the realisation of a twenty-year old dream, after seeing Alec Guinness in the film "Our Man In Havana." It was the last Western film to be made there before Castro's revolution in 1959, and it was fascinating to discover that Havana has not changed in the 50 years since. The streets are lined with brightly coloured buildings from when the island was a rich Spanish colony, and everywhere there are classic American cars, still in use after half a century.
I was determined to make the trip unforgettable, and the best way of doing that is to draw. However, Cuba was such a culture shock. Culturally, socially, politically and economically, everything is the other way round to what I'm used to. My sketchbooks became a way of trying to make sense of it all.
As an obvious tourist, you get a lot a hassle from people trying to sell things, mainly cigars and Che Guevara souvenirs. However, sit down engrossed in a sketchbook, and you turn invisible. When you stand up again, you reappear as a potential customer.
18 February, 2007 — Houses on the Paseo del Prado. This was once the smartest street in Havana: on each side stand Spanish style buildings from the late 19th century, colourfully plastered and richly detailed. But they haven't been touched since they were built. They are in tragic state of disrepair: plaster is falling off; windows are boarded up or just missing; sometimes entire walls that have fallen away. And then you realise that people are still living in them.
What steps do you take when you sketch? What tools do you carry with you?
After years of travelling with far too much equipment, I've at last got my tools down to fit into a small camera bag: Moleskine watercolour sketchbooks —I like the landscape format, often a drawing sprawls over two full pages; a Winsor and Newton field box which includes watercolour pans, a palette, and a bottle for water —though I like to get water from where I am painting: a fountain; the sea or a river; even out of a swimming pool; a Pro Arte retractable brush; Rapidograph pens; and pencils cut in half so they fit in the bag. Oh, and a pencil sharpener (don't take a knife; it's liable to get confiscated at the airport — someone in Havana is better off to the tune of a very nice Swiss Army penknife that used to be mine...).
I start by finding the nearest bench or wall to sit on. Ignore what you're told to do about finding an interesting composition or unusual viewpoint; there isn't time. And while it's tempting to paint the obvious attractions, those buildings and sights that I've flown halfway round the world to see, the scenes which make the most memorable and characteristic images are those where I've just drawn whatever happens to be in front of me.
I use pencil to get everything roughly in place, especially things like people and cars which are likely to move before you've finished. Then I draw in pen. With a pencil in your hand, it's obvious that you are drawing, and everyone wants to see what you're doing. With a pen, it looks as if you are writing, and no one wants to come and read. Finally, I get the paints out. Now everyone wants to see what you're doing, but I always try to finish the painting on the spot. I don't like to add colour later away from the scene —the important thing is recording the experience of being in a place for half an hour; not trying to do "a nice painting."

When it comes to vertical gardening, the sky is the limit, Jon Darby said.
The method of farming food involves structures that allow plants to grow up rather than spread across a horizontal surface.
Vertical gardening includes a variety of structures aimed at yielding high concentrations of produce in limited areas.
Darby, farm manager at the Horn Farm Center in Hellam Township, said people will need to find creative ways to grow more food in less space as time goes on.
"We have a lot more people than we can feed," he said of world hunger problems.
Darby said he met folks who built interesting vertical gardens using free or inexpensive items such as repurposed wooden pallets and over-the-closet pocket shoe holders.
"I've seen rain gutters screwed together," he said of another makeshift garden. "Things like lettuce can work really well in that."
Recently, Darby talked to Joanna Lehman, who told him of tower gardens she sells.
"I think they're kind of cool," Darby said of the devices. "I love to encourage people to grow their own food."
Lehman, of Hellam Township, recently learned of tower gardens from a friend and decided to sell the structures via Juice Plus, a company that offers virtual franchises.
The vertical, compact garden system allows for herbs, vegetables and fruits to be grown in a small space such as a balcony, patio or rooftop.
The company's website states the tower garden uses air, a water mist and specially formulated plant food rather than soil to grow the produce. The system sells for roughly $525, the site states.
Recently, she planted cauliflower, lettuce, tomatoes and peppers in her tower garden.
"It's really fast," Lehman said of the time needed for the tower to yield fresh food.
Barbara Robbins, master gardener at York County's Penn State extension office, said tower gardens are similar to container gardening, in which various pots or boxes are used instead of someone planting directly in the ground.
"You're planting things so they'll grow straight up," she said. "You're putting a lot of plants together in a small space."
Vegetables including peas and cucumbers can grow upright, she said.
"You have to train them a little bit," Robbins said.
Vickie Boltersdorf, owner of Hueter's Greenhouse in Springettsbury Township, said "pizza pots" have become a sought-after way to grow ingredients such as oregano, tomatoes, peppers and basil in one, relatively small, container.
"People really seem to like those," she said. "Small gardening is getting more popular."

Written By Elon Athletics:
ELON, N.C. - Jack Isenbarger became the 35th player in Elon University men's basketball history to score 1,000 career points and led a second-half charge to help the Phoenix to its fourth straight win in an 85-61 blowout victory over Chattanooga on Thursday night, Jan. 24, inside Alumni Gym.
Isenbarger pushed Elon (12-7, 5-2 Southern Conference) out to a 23-point lead over Chattanooga (8-12, 3-4 Southern Conference) with 12:48 remaining after hitting his fourth three-pointer in under three minutes make it a 63-40 game. Isenbarger connected on a total of six shots from beyond the arc in the second period.
With the win, Elon moves into a tie for first place in the SoCon North Division with Samford, who fell to UNCG tonight.
"Our offensive is predicated on being aggressive and attacking and I was fortunate to get some open looks tonight because of that," Isenbarger said. "We have great shooters on this team who work hard after practice to get shots off and I think that paid off tonight."
In all, Isenbarger ended the night 7-of-13 from beyond the arc, scoring a game-high 23 points. The Zionsville, Ind., native recorded his 1,000th-career point with 9:04 remaining in the first half on a three from the top of the key. He is the first player to reach the milestone since Drew Spradlin, whom he passed tonight on Elon's all-time three-point chart. Isenbarger now has 187 career triples.
"We played hard for 40 minutes and we're very pleased with the win," said Elon head coach Matt Matheny. "We had good play throughout the game and I felt like we shot our way through mistakes. That's not something you can always rely on to win games, but it's fun to watch when some of our guys get hot like that."
Lucas Troutman scored in double figures for the 18th straight game, ending the night with 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the field. Troutman also hauled down a team-high eight boards and tallied three blocked shots.
Tanner Samson tied a career-high mark with 12 points in the win, while Ryley Beaumont was the fourth Phoenix player in double figures with 13 points.
Elon connected on 13 shots from three-point land, the most against a Division I opponent this season and most since hitting 16 versus Bridgewater on Nov. 13. Elon shot 41 percent from beyond the arc in the win, its best performance versus a league foe this season.
As a team, Elon dished out a total of 20 assists, the most against a Division I opponent in a single game this season. Sebastian Koch recorded a game-high six assists, one off his career-high mark.
Isenbarger reached the 1,000-point plateau at the 9:04 mark of the first half after burying a three-pointer from the top of the key to give the maroon and gold a 26-16 lead.
A 50-percent clip from the field in the opening frame helped Elon to a 10-point lead, 38-28, at intermission. Troutman and Beaumont combined for 24 of Elon's 38 points, as the duo tallied 13 and 11, respectively.
The Phoenix caught fire to open the second session, opening up a 16-point lead with 14:24 remaining after Isenbarger buried a three to give his team a 54-38 lead, forcing a Mocs timeout.
Elon led by as many as 26 points in the second half, shooting 47 percent from the field in the final 20 minutes to keep the Mocs at arm's length and secure its fourth straight win.
The Phoenix returns to action on Saturday, Jan. 26, when it heads to Charleston, S.C., to face The Citadel.

is it possible to paint chrome handlebars? what paint would work for painting them. my bikes all black with chrome bars and chrome crank. looks kinda dumb lol.id like to have it all black if its possible? thx
is it possible to paint chrome handlebars? what paint would work for painting them. my bikes all black with chrome bars and chrome crank. looks kinda dumb lol.id like to have it all black if its possible? thx
You will want to scuff up the bars so the paint sticks better. Use an abrasive sand paper or a wire wheel on a drill.
Then you apply paint, let it dry, reapply, let it dry, clear coat, let it dry. It should be no less than 24 hours before you touch them again.
For your cranks - forget about it. Your feet constantly rub against the cranks and will wear through spray paint really, really quick. You can try, but I would expect the paint to rub off within a week.
thanks, but wont my bars look all scratched up? is there no paint that will just stick 2 chrome?
first make sure all the chrome is dull(by sanding like bmxtrix said) then make sure you use a primer!! this will always help and never(that i have seen) hurt. and about the cranks, Fuggedaboutit!
just exactly what the other two said
Or, buy a black bar from your lbs or Perf or Nashbar. For an extra $10, you'll get a bar that won't scratch or look like dookie. Seriously, handlebars are cheap.
yea, my bars are worth a lot tho. i got them last year for like 200 canadian. i kept breaking my 2 piece bars so i spent all my money on a quality 4 piece bar. i dont wanna get a new bar till these break. thats why i wanted 2 paint them. ill check around to find some good paint then ill sand it atempt it on the end of my bar. if it works ill do it to the rest. thanks for the help guys
Chrome bars are too gangster for you, I take it? Hell, I'll probably be rockin' some chrome Slams once my Solids die out on me.
Chrome IS the new black.
No, you're thinking of girl's pants.
ok, first of all, apply primer (duh) not just a whole bunch of layers of paint, second, use like rubbing alchohol and a washcloth to make sure like no oils are left on the bars, cuz if there is, itll turn out bad. sand paper yeah, and u can use super fine sand paper to even out the primer after it dries, cuz sometimes itll leave little bumps, and i painted my cranks with normal spray paint adn primer, and it still hasnt come off, at all! but then again, if you ride with your feet close to them, then itll probably wear out, but if you really want to paint them, just space your feet a little farther away from the cranks.
you cant just dull chrome, it has to be completely, 100% off the bars. I suggest a sand blaster, found at autobody shops. (my dad is an autobody painter) then you need the primer like edmej123 said, thats a must. primer fills in any scratches and makes the paint look smooth. You then need to apply the paint. (The only kind of paint i'd use is enamyl or another paint used on cars.) if you can find a decent paint without hitting the autobody shop and buying an aircompressed spray gun go for it. but u will also need a clear coat to keep the paint safe and/or giving it a glossy appearence.
last minute breakfest at WaWa......$2
answers to last nights homework you forgot.......$2
school lunch without a cookie.......$2
finally escaping the crap in which everyday holds to get out on your bike.......priceless
that's life, this is BMX
You do not have to remove chrome. You have to scratch it so that paint will stick to the metal. This has been proven time and time again. Removing chrome is preferable, but not everyone has access to a sandblaster which really is what is required to remove the chrome.
Then primer, then paint, then top coat - let dry, blah-blah-blah.
BEST WAY: Take them to a custom motorcycle shop and have them sent out to be powder coated. You can do your cranks and your bars in powder coat and that stuff will never come off.
yeah the chrome doesnt have to be off, but scratching it does work. I mentioned that in a post before and somebody said scratching it doesnt help. but oh well. yeah, i painted my forks and bars (almost typed bras) and the forks are still perfectly good. the bars are messed up cuz i always drop my bike, but yeah. if you scratch the paint off at any time, just paint over it. i did that with my forks and my bars and the paint seems to stick more after you paint over it.

Man, 89, held over deaths at AuschwitzComment on this story
Washington - An 89-year-old man has been arrested and denied bail in the United States for alleged war crimes as a teenage Nazi guard at Auschwitz.
Johann Breyer, a retired machinist born in Czechoslovakia to a US mother, admits joining the Waffen SS aged 17 but denies being a guard at the concentration camp in German-occupied Poland.
He emigrated to the United States after World War II and is married with children and grandchildren.
But German authorities in 2012 opened an inquiry against him on suspicion he was an accessory in the killings of hundreds of thousands of Jews in 1944 as an Auschwitz guard.
US media quoted court documents as saying that Breyer has been charged on 158 counts of aiding and abetting Nazi atrocities.
His lawyer Dennis Boyle told AFP that Breyer was arrested in Philadelphia on Tuesday on a warrant from the German government and faces an extradition hearing on August 21.
Breyer insists he was only in a field artillery unit of the Waffen SS and deserted weeks later after serving in the vicinity of Auschwitz, but not as a prison guard.
"He denies any involvement in any war crimes whatsoever. He was never a Nazi," Boyle said, adding that his client had spent time in a Russian prisoner-of-war camp at the end of World War II.
"He was as much a victim of the Nazis as anyone else. He did not volunteer to be in the SS, he did not want to be in the SS, he deserted from the SS," Boyle said.
Breyer appeared in a US district court in Philadelphia on Wednesday where magistrate Timothy Rice denied him bail due to the severity of the charges.
Boyle said his client was in poor health and appeared frail and dishevelled in court after spending his first night in prison.
"He suffers from dementia, he's had a couple of strokes, he has heart problems," he said.
For more than 60 years German courts only prosecuted Nazi war criminals if evidence showed they personally committed atrocities.
But in 2011 a Munich court sentenced another US immigrant to five years in prison for more than 27 000 counts of accessory to murder, establishing that all former camp guards can be tried.
Auschwitz is an enduring symbol of Nazi Germany's genocide of six million European Jews, of whom one million were killed there from 1940 to 1945.
US Secretary of State John Kerry will ultimately need to decide whether Breyer can be extradited to Germany.
The US government tried to revoke Breyer's citizenship over the allegations in the 1990s, but took no action after it was determined at trial he did not serve voluntarily, Boyle said. - AFP

Recently a very nice lady stopped by the museum. She wanted to know if I knew anything about "Autoball." I did not. She explained to me that it was an Auto Thrill Show using a four foot ball. They used Model T cars with hoops, there was a goal at each end of the field.
Well you know what they say a picture is worth a thousand words.
I am searching for anyone that has more information than I do. I know that Joe Driscoll who used to own Driscoll's and the Greyhound Bus Stop was one of the inventors. Possibly Dwight Charles and George Duncan were also involved. There was a Northwest Autoball Association formed in March of 1923.
Sometimes this sport was also called Auto Push Ball.
The day after the nice lady left my office, I found the above photo. I emailed her a copy. Her family purchased the Autoball Thrill Show from the fellows in Park Rapids.
On the back of the photo are two names. Leonard Faike donated the photos back in 2004 and wanted to know if the Historical Museum knew anything about Autoball. Ardelle Reynolds name is also on the back of the photo.
If you know something about Autoball please leave me a comment!

Fill with a mixture of equal parts cranberry juice cocktail and water. Once frozen, use these "cranberry cubes" to freshen up this slush or other fruit-flavored drinks.
The slush freezes most quickly in 1-pint containers and can be used directly from the freezer. You can freeze it in one large container for punch, but it will take 1 or 2 days to freeze until slushy.

It depends. My older sister was completely bald at birth. My parents didn't even know it at the time. They were looking at pictures of her as a baby recently and they looked at each other. They asked, "What? She was bald?" She now has a lot of hair. She didn't have hair till she was four. I was born with a lot of hair at birth. Both of my brothers were too. My dad and mom also were born with a lot of hair at birth. My little cousin didn't have a lot of hair at birth, but he wasn't bald.

My parents, sisters and I all had hair at birth. My sisters and I were blonde although only the youngest stayed blonde. By the time I started school my hair had become almost as dark as Jinger's is. It seems like the Duggars are often blonde and then turn darker too.

All of my children had lots of dark hair at birth. Our oldest was happily sporting the "Pebbles Flintstone" look at six months. :-)
However, none of my children had nearly as much hair as my niece. She was born with so much hair that they had to give her a haircut as soon as she came home from the hospital--just to get the hair out of her eyes!

Hi Jill b,
The Duggars' values have not changed. They still look to get the best value for their money, and that often means buying used.

Edit: The keyboard shortcuts below will only work with builds of Visual Studio 2010 post-beta 1. So this is something to look forward to for beta 2, coming "soon"!
Visual Studio 2010 now supports the ability to zoom in and out of the text editor by using the mouse wheel. I love this feature for a couple of reasons:
- Makes it easy to pop in and out of your code to toggle between the "big picture" and "code level" views.
- Very nice when showing code to a group, such as during a demo to a large audience, or during team code reviews.
But what if you don't have a mouse wheel? It turns out that there are keyboard shortcuts for this.

The team has also added a zoom indicator in beta 2, similar to what you see in other applications like IE or Word. Here's a screenshot:

SEPTEMBER 19TH.–Clear and pleasant.
We have nothing yet explanatory of the shelling yesterday.
To-day we have news of an expedition of the enemy crossing
Mrs. D. E. Mendenhall, Quaker, Jamestown, N. C., has written a "strictly confidential" letter to Mr. J. B. Crenshaw, of this city (which has gone on the files of the department), begging him to use his influence with Mr. Secretary Seddon (which is great) to get permission for her to send fourteen negroes, emancipated by her late husband's will, to Ohio. She says there is but one able to bear arms, and he is crazy; that since the enemy uses negro soldiers, she will withhold the able-bodied ones; that she has fed our soldiers, absolutely starving some of her stock to death, that she might have food for our poor men and their families, etc. etc.
No news from our flour.
I saw Nat Tyler to-day, and told him to call upon the farmers, in the Enquirer, to send their provisions to the city immediately, or they may lose their crops, and their horses too. He said he would.
The only news of interest is contained in the following official dispatch from Gen. Lee:
"September 17th, 1864.
"At daylight yesterday the enemy's skirmish line west of the
"At the same hour Gen. Hampton attacked the enemy's position north of the Norfolk Railroad, near
"Gen. Gregg attacked Gen. Hampton, on his return in the afternoon, at Belchess' mill, on the
"Our entire loss does not exceed fifty men. R. E. LEE."
Gen. Preston, Superintendent Bureau of Conscription, has made a labored defense (written by Colonels Lay and August) of the bureau against the allegations of Gen. Bragg. This was sent to the President by the Secretary of War, "for his information." The President sent it back, to-day, indorsed, "the subject is under general consideration."
The "Bureau," by advertisement, to-day, calls upon everybody between the ages of sixteen and fifty to report at certain places named, and be registered, and state the reasons why they are not now in the army and in the field. What nonsense! How many do they expect to come forward, voluntarily, candidates for gunpowder and exposure in the trenches?

Facebook Forum: Weighing in on 'millennial' police recruits
Do you think there's a law enforcement generation gap, and is it a problem?
By PoliceOne Staff
A recent P1 article on the "me generation" and its effect on the future of law enforcement sparked an interesting and, at times, heated discussion on our Facebook page. As some people voiced their complaints about a new class of police recruits who are whiny and disrespectful, others came to their defense. Tell us what you think in the comments section.
Q: Do you think there's a law enforcement generation gap, and is it a problem?
A: The millennial generation poses problems for policing
The "new" and "entitled" generation.... The majority of them want a lot of money, to do very little work. And with no respect at all. Saw it first hand, and part of the reason why I no longer work with them. All I can hope for is Karma! — Marialice Powers
This generation is full of no responsibility, no respect and no accountability. It's pathetic. — M Diggy Mac
A: I'm a millennial but I don't identify with my generation
I am part of the "me generation" and I refuse to be grouped with these idiots...when a superior asks you to do something you don't ask why, you just do it! That's how I was raised. — Eric Brooks
Sadly I belong to this generation, and being a LEO I found the article interesting and true to some degree. I agree on it's the upbringing of an individual. I grew up in a somewhat strict household with a military parent. I was taught to value self reliance, critical thinking, education, respect and honor, traits others my age do not share and it's annoying to see. Again I believe it starts at home even before a boot hits the Academy grounds. I hope this trend changes. — Terrence Huerta
As a millennial currently working in this field I must say a lot of this is true. People in my generation would rather "Save the Whales" than learn how to save a life, unless saving a life will give them a slot on MTV. Yet, another thing is true. Those few of us millennials that choose law enforcement generally will not fit the stereotypical mold that has been cast for the rest of the generation. I am completely responsible, respectful and accountable. I love my job. — Kayla Plumlee
A: We've heard this one before
Didn't Plato complain about the younger generation being undisciplined? It seemed they fared just fine. — Tom Hall
I guess the real question is, when the "Baby Boomer" generation entered the age of LEO careers how did they differ from the generation before? Similarities to today I would be willing to bet. Everyone knows law enforcement is slow to change, so anything new is looked at usually unfavorably. In 20 years it will be interesting in how the "ME" generation has changed law enforcement and how they are adapting to the next generation. — Gregg Magnus
A: Give them a chance
This may apply to most but there are several who still respect authority honor the chain of command and are far from high maintenance. But most of it can go back to the parenting. I was raised to respect elders and work or everything I want and have. — Josh Morgan
I haven't seen it; almost without exception I'm proud to ride next to our young people! They said this about my generation. You just can't bully, haze, or disrespect them as we had to endure. These are smart kids. — David Howard

Besides the Hourglass Mineral Veil primer, I've only used a few others (Smashbox Photo Finish, Shiseido Refining Primer and Too Faced Hangover Primer). So far, I prefer the Mineral Veil over the others and for the price, I feel like it was good but not amazing. I bought the travel sized version of this first ($21 CAD for 0.33 oz) and liked it enough to buy the full sized version ($60 CAD for 1 oz).
Just as a reference, I have acne-prone skin, with a really oily T-zone and I get a bit oily on my chin and cheeks. In my makeup routine, apply a gel moisturize, apply this primer, then use MUFE Mat Velvet + with my beautyblender and set with TheBalm translucent powder. It gives me a smooth base, minimizes my pores, allows my foundation to go on evenly, makes me less oily throughout the day, seems to make my base long wearing, etc.
There is a slight scent, but it's not off-putting or that noticeable. I have tried other foundations with this primer and it still gives me the same smooth base, however, the minor faults have always been the same. I always notice that my foundation still settles under my eyes and it doesn't minimize the chance of my foundation rubbing off too much - such as, when I lightly blot my face. I do like how it's in a glass container and has a pump though!
Overall, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good primer. It definitely does minimize your pores, makes you less oily and gives you a smooth base. I will keep repurchasing until I find my HG face primer!

This is my favorite primer. First of all, it contains SPF, which is really great because I prefer to not use sunscreen under my makeup and most of my foundations do not have SPF properties. It is so silky and smooth, a little goes a long way which is important because this product is really expensive ($52 USD for 1oz) but the bottle is pretty big. I prefer to get the travel sizes ($18 USD for 0.33 oz) because I feel like it's a better monetary value and more hygienic to buy a new one every several months.
This primer works with any foundation I have tried - matte, demi-matte, and tinted moisturizer. Using it makes my foundation go on smoother, look better, and stay on for longer. It creates a barrier between the skin and the foundation so that the product doesn't sink into fine lines or into pores. The product has a very faint smell, but it is definitely not perfumey. It is a stark white color but blends to invisible once on the skin. Before even using foundation, I always notice that my skin looks more even and glowing after using it. It definitely blurs the appearance of imperfections.
I've seen a lot of people apply this with a brush or beauty blender, but I prefer to just use my fingers because it warms up the product and spreads it a little bit easier. Also, I don't feel the need to blend it completely. Overall, my HG primer.

At $52 for 1 oz of product, this is the most expensive primer I have ever owned, so I really wish I didn't like it. While it is a silicone-based primer, it doesn't feel greasy in the slightest. The texture is incredibly silky and smooth, and it has the consistency of a thin white lotion. It dries quickly on my face and leaves a semi-matte finish (which I personally love) and leaves a wonderful canvas for the smooth application of my liquid foundation. My makeup lasts all day and I have very little breakthrough oil which is very impressive for my combination skin. Highly recommended.

I do love this silky-textured primer. It smells and feels wonderful and my makeup glides over it like a dream. I don't have much trouble keeping makeup on my skin even though I'm oily, but I guess this helps the shine somewhat without making me too matte, and it calms redness a little.

This is my favourite primer so far but im yet to find my HG. This primer is lightweight and makes my face feel super soft which makes applying foundation smoothly so much easier. I don't feel like it evens out skin tone at all or blurs huge pores. I find if you pat the primer into the areas with huge pores rather then smooth it over it shrinks the appearance of pores better. As far as oil control goes it seems to keep shine at bay for the longest time I've got with any other primer but still not long enough. It is pretty expensive I'm not sure it's quite worth how much it costs.

I just bought this primer a couple weeks ago and absolutely love it! I have combination skin that tends to be on the more oily side and problems with hyper pigmentation and texture. This really evens out my skin and makes my makeup last all day. Not to mention I've gotten so many compliments lately about how flawless my skin looks =)

I bought the $18 sample size from Sephora because I was looking for a primer and this stuff is really pricy. For the duration that I was using it, I thought I really liked it. You have to shake before you apply, and it gives an extremely luxurious feeling of application. The product itself feels expensive if that can make any sense whatsoever.
However, at the end of the day, I don't think it extended the wear of my foundation for too long. I think that this primer would be better for oilier skin types as dry girls are so much better off going with a hydrating primer.
The pump is nice, but it will stop pumping product when you are about halfway through. Because the tube is clear, you can clearly see all the product left inside, so you're stuck opening up and removing it yourself.
The extremely high price tag on this primer makes it not worth it. It's nice, but the price is not justified.

I am obsessed with primers because I have a really uneven skin tone (hyperpigmentation and scars), oily T-zone (although this has considerably been better these days. It's only after a long hour of makeup wear now) and HUGE pores (thanks to my on-going battle with acne). No matter how good the foundations are, without primers, they are always just sub-par.
However a lot of primers (such as DHC, tarte, smashbox) make me break out or don't do anything (cover FX, korres) or just do one part of what I want like maybe it would even skin tone but cannot do anything about the pores (faceshop's face it, banila co primer). As you can see, I have tried many many primers. This one is my ultimate favorite.
It does everything I want, it evens my skin tone, makes me non-oily (this was when I had very oily t-zone area) and it fills in my pores WITHOUT breaking me out! Is that not magic enough for you? It does break my wallet's heart I'm sure. But I really can't find any dupes or anything that can replace this. One tip though, you have to wait a bit before you apply anything else after you apply this (maybe 2 minutes or so) in order for you to see the full effect. You CAN apply foundation right after the application of the primer - and it will work its magic in time, but I think it tends to work better if you wait a little. I don't need a lot of it - I used to
After getting two sample sizes from Sephora, I did buy the huge one. I don't regret it at all - I preferred the tube packaging because of all the dead volumes in pumps that I cannot take out - so I preferred to use a tube - that way I can cut it (and then I just place the top and the bottom together after I apply some) and if you use this method, it makes the bottle last 2 weeks- a month longer. One thing to be warned about the big one though, is that the primer is very runny, so you can't let it stand on the cap and open it because then you will have a flood of really expensive primer all over your hands. I actually put it standing up with the top facing up to prevent this. You could also shake it - but you can't shake it with the cap closed, because the texture is too runny so it will spill on the cap (and you want to limit all the extra spillage for this product!) take the cap off, close the opening with your finger and shake it. I feel that this makes the product more effective for me.
But love this. I will constantly be trying out new primers in hopes that there's one cheaper, but it will probably be my favorite for a couple years.

Never thought I would love a primer as much as this primer... especially one that is so stupidly expensive. Really does make a significant difference to my makeup - gives a nice finish, foundation goes on smoother and wears noticeably better throughout a long workday. Loved it so much that I bought the jumbo version in the tube (83$ CAN for 2oz - seems like an outrageous price, but really is cheaper in the long run if you're dedicated to this primer, like me!)

I got a sample of this product from Sephora a long time ago and never tried it since I wasn't a primer girl then. I used this up so fast because it's amazing. I have dry skin and this smooths over my dry patches so foundation doesn't cling to them. It almost fills in my pores and lines too, making my foundation look less flat and one dimensional. Yes, it doesn't prolong foundation wear THAT much but this product is a life saver for us dry gals. It's WAY overpriced so I wouldn't spend the money on a new, full sized one. I will just admire from afar.

The Atlantic Cup presented by 11th Hour Racing is the United States' premier and only dedicated Class 40 sailing race. The race showcases some of the top Class 40 sailors in the U.S. and world as they compete in the 3-leg event. The Atlantic Cup is designed to challenge the sailors in multiple ways. The first leg of the race is a long offshore leg which will be raced double-handed. The second leg will also be double-handed but will be a shorter, offshore sprint. The third leg will force the sailors to switch their boats to an inshore mode and race with a maximum crew of six. The combined overall winner of all 3 legs will be crowned Atlantic Cup Champion.
Additionally, The Atlantic Cup, with the help of 11th Hour Racing's sponsorship, is one of the most environmentally sustainable races in the United States. Since the 2012 edition of the race the Atlantic Cup has been a carbon neutral race, one of the only races to reach that achievement in the United States. Teams are required to have an alternative energy source like a hydrogenerator, fuel cell or solar panels. For all of the details on the Atlantic Cup's environmental commitment you can check out our green page.
Points & Prize Money
Scoring for the Atlantic Cup will be based upon a "High Point" scoring system. Each boat's overall score will equal the total points earned in both offshore legs plus points earned from the inshore races. At the conclusion of the event, the boat with the total highest score will be declared the winner.
To determine the podium winners, the "High Point" scoring system combines all three legs of the race into the boat's overall score. The points for individual race scores are based upon the number of entrants (unless disqualified or retiring after finishing). The points for each leg are allotted as follows: 1st place will be awarded points equal to the number of entrants; 2nd place points equal the number of entrants minus 1; 3rd place – points equal the number of entrants minus 2; 4th place – points equal the number of entrants minus 3; and so on.
For two the offshore legs, points awarded will be weighted by a factor of 2. For each inshore series, points will be weighted by a factor of one. The inshore series will consist of a maximum of five races, should four or less inshore races be completed; all races will count toward the boat's overall score. If five inshore series are completed, a boats overall score will consist of the four best inshore races. In the event of a score tie between two or more boats, the tie will be broken in favor of the boat with the most points earned amongst the two offshore legs.
The competitors have a chance to win prize money in all portions of the race. The purse will be split between the three legs.

Funny enough, I was planning on doing something very similar, so I sincerely hope that you don't lose your interest in this project or let others discourage you!
I have some related questions, too:
- Is it really possible/feasible to 'translate' the zone system into an 11-step scale from 0 to 255, defining zone V as 128 (or 127)?
- Assuming I have the stuff printed on matte paper, and I would take not to put the test target into bright sunlight, would this mitigate the issue of reflectivity?
- What about subject and print luminance range? Is it by principle not possible to print 10+ zones, even digitally, in a way to capture them as 10+ zones on a negative?
- and while being at it, would it make sense to consider any 12%/18% gray issues for metering etc.?

WXLO presents the fourth annual ACOUSTIC XMAS concert, starring GAVIN DEGRAW and ANDY GRAMMER, with special guests TRISTAN PRETTYMAN and SAM JAMES.
Beloved by fans for his blue-eyed soul vocals, freewheeling melodies, and earthy charm, singer, songwriter, and musician Gavin DeGraw has enjoyed success since breaking through in 2003 with his debut album, Chariot, which sold over a million copies, earned platinum certification, and yielded three hit singles: "I Don't Want To Be," "Follow Through," and the title-track, "Chariot." He followed that up with his self-titled second album, which debuted at No. 1 on the digital sales chart and at No. 7 on Billboard's Top 200 album chart in 2008 (earning Gavin his first Top 10 album and spawning the hit singles "In Love With A Girl" and the gold-certified "We Belong Together." His new album, SWEETER, features the hit singles "Not Over You", the title track "Sweeter", and his current single "Soldier". The willingness to explore what's meaningful to him and express it in a universal way is what has made Gavin a compelling artist, one who connects with listeners not only through his recordings, but also through his live appearances. Gavin has toured the globe, performing sold-out headlining shows as well as festivals with a variety of artists.
There's something wonderfully original about Andy Grammer, who burst into the music scene this year with the infectious radio hits "Keep Your Head Up"," Fine By Me", and his current single "Miss Me". Beautifully blending classic and modern styles into a catchy cocktail of genuine pop, Andy's music is one part John Legend, one part Maroon 5 with a splash of Lauryn Hill. He carries a moving spark to his sound that's unique in every sense of the word, while wielding a confidence that is reminiscent of rock n' roll's glory days.
Tristan Prettyman has parlayed her smoky Alto voice into a career studded with highlights, including her 2008 release 'Hello' reaching the #2 position on the Itunes Digital Album charts, touring in support of Jason Mraz and The Script, and her own headline tours across the U.S., Europe and Japan. With an artistry that lies in her finely etched lyrical details and intimate vocal performances, Prettyman spares no one, including herself on her 2012 release 'Cedar + Gold', featuring songs like "Say Anything", "I Was Gonna Marry You", and her current single "My Oh My".
Sam James is a singer-songwriter who is rising thru the ranks of the Alternative Pop-Rock genre with genuine force and intensity. A native of Worcester, Massachusetts, Sam got his biggest break this year as a contestant on the hit NBC TV show, "The Voice – Season 3". His introduction to "The Voice" audience was his unique vocal delivery of John Lennon's timeless classic "Imagine", which landed Sam at the #11 spot on the iTunes Rock Charts. Sam's heartfelt lyrics and instrumental inventions find their way into all of his songs and represent a generation of songwriter well beyond his years.
You won't want to miss this rare opportunity to celebrate the holiday season with acoustic performances from some of today's biggest stars, performing their hit songs in the intimate setting of Mechanics Hall. Acoustic Xmas has sold out in advance every year, so make sure to purchase your tickets early.

Canada's Financial Contribution to Organizing the Sixth Games of La Francophonie in Lebanon
(No. 261 - September 18, 2009 - 11:15 a.m. EDT) The Honourable Josée Verner, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada and Minister for La Francophonie, today announced that Canada will contribute $1 million to help organize the sixth Games of La Francophonie, which will take place in Beirut, Lebanon, from September 27 to October 6, 2009.
This contribution is in keeping with Canada's traditional support for the International Organization of La Francophonie and more particularly for the Games of La Francophonie, which were held in Ottawa-Hull in 2001.
"Since the Games were created in 1989, Canada has always strongly supported the organization of the Games; this support was reiterated in the Quebec City Declaration issued at the 12th Francophonie Summit, which was held last October," stated Minister Verner.
Nearly 50 countries and governments of La Francophonie, including Canada, New Brunswick and Quebec, have confirmed their participation. The number of delegations expected will make these sixth Games the second largest after those held in Canada in the summer of 2001, which attracted the participation of more than 3,000 athletes and artists from 51 states and governments.
"The Games are one of La Francophonie's landmark events, bringing young people from all the Organization's member countries together in sporting and cultural competitions—a brilliant demonstration of La Francophonie's core values of solidarity and cooperation," concluded Minister Verner.
This financial contribution also reflects Canada's support for the Lebanese government and its efforts to rebuild the country following the conflict of the summer of 2006 and the civil war that ravaged Lebanon in the 1970s and 1980s.

Has decent size, but lacks athleticism and explosiveness. Relegated to the role of shooting specialist at this point. Was actually a pretty versatile player as during his collegiate career at Houston. Spent some time in the minor leagues before reaching the NBA. Has flourished in clutch situations and is never afraid to take the big shot. Always quotable, Jones has transitioned from a locker room leader to a full blown disruption. May not be able to reconcile his differences with coach Mike Brown. Offense: A shooting specialist on a team that found a more suitable replacement in Daniel Gibson. Three quarters of his touches come from situations where he has an open three-pointer. Spends most of his time floating around the perimeter spotting up and even floats to the outside in transition. Brings the ball up the floor safely, but isnt a floor general. The leg kick gets a little bit too predictable at times. Is capable of shooting off the dribble, but is nowhere near as consistent as he is when shooting from a standstill. Seldom takes the ball to the rim, and rarely gets to the line. Tends to dribble from one wing to the other before reinitiating his offense. Good a moving the ball on the perimeter. Does a good job of coming off the bench for big shots. Defense: Much better at guarding the point guard spot than the wing despite his lack of foot speed. Always keeps his hands up. Wont create many turnovers, but will make a smart foul every now and again. Will box his man out on occasion. Does a good job of using his upper body to deny dribble penetration. Doesnt close out hard so that he doesnt get blown by. [Read Full Article] © 2015 DraftExpress LLC All rights reserved.

'We Can Make This Stuff In A Bathtub If We Want To'
Adler's claims of a scam come after working for three months as the manufacturing manager at a Seattle company called Biomed Comm. The company makes and sells a variety of homeopathic remedies advertised as treatments for autism, menopausal symptom relief, and boosters of immune systems and energy.
Last week the State Department of Health ordered the company and it's founder and CEO Barbara Brewitt, PhD to cease and desist her making and selling of drugs without a license. They also directed her to stop "posing as a medical doctor."
Adler is the whistleblower who started the investigation that led to the Department of Health action. He tells KOMO 4 News he still stands behind those accusations.
"The comment was made once that we don't care what the government says because we're homeopathic," he said Brewitt told him and other employees. "We can make this stuff in a bathtub if we want to."
FDA regulations are different for the makers of homeopathic remedies where the active ingredients are markedly diluted in their final medicinal form. "In clinical studies, patients have reported increased memory, focus and energy, stronger heart and immune systems, relief from stress and headaches, weight loss, increased muscle mass and improved sleep, among other factors," it says on the Biomed Comm website. "Biomed's cell signalers are being taken by autism and HIV (AIDS virus) patients as well as baby boomers who want to stave off aging. "
The Department of Health ordered Brewitt to immediately "stop her unlicensed practice of manufacturing drugs," saying that they do not have the necessary federal approval.
Adler, who says he was hired to help establish a small manufacturing facility in Woodinville, says many of the medicines were mixed by Brewitt herself in her own kitchen as she chanted over a crystal bowl.
"She told all of us the magic is in the chanting and the crystal bowl," said Adler. "And that's what caused everything to work was the energy from the crystal bowl."
The Biomed Comm website says the homeopathic mixtures are clinically proven and contain what Brewitt has trademarked as Cell Signal Enhancers, a breakthrough she claims came from years of her own research. Adler, believes the bottles he was asked to fill contained much less.
"Nothing more than some human growth hormone and 99.9 percent of it is water," he has told state investigators.
His statement to investigators for the Department of Health also alleges that Brewitt, faced with a diminishing supply of one product, at least once ordered the bottles requested by a major wholesaler to be filled with another product they had on hand at the time.
The state also ordered Brewitt to stop misrepresenting herself as a medical doctor. Her resume says she holds a Masters of Divinity and also a PhD from the University of Washington. The Department of Health says that PhD is in "biological structure" and is in no way to be construed as a medical degree.
Investigators claim Brewitt allegedly "represented herself as a medical doctor to a Seattle-based pharmacy in order to obtain a drug used in the manufacturing process." Documents obtained by KOMO 4 News clearly show Brewitt listed as an "MD" on orders made to a local pharmacy.
Last week Brewitt responded to the Department of Health order and to interview requests by KOMO 4 News in an e-mail.
She said she "takes great exception to today's action by the Washington State Department of Health" and that her company's products are "classified as homeopathic drugs and meet all regulations. There is obviously a misunderstanding on the part of the Department of Health."
The state tells KOMO 4 News there is no misunderstanding at all.
"If they don't abide by the cease and desist order we would need to turn that over to the court system," said Pharmacy Board Director Steven Saxe. "And then they would decide if they were going to take further action."
Thursday at 5 p.m.was the Department of Health deadline for Biomed Comm to file for an "expedited or prompt hearing" on the cease and desist order. Late Thursday afternoon the Department of Health said it had not received any such notice from the company. Biomed claims it did file by that deadline.
Meanwhile, Biomed products can still be found for sale on a variety of internet sites dedicated to homeopathic remedies.

Sony wireless charging tech to cut time in half, due 2014
updated 05:23 am EDT, Fri October 18, 2013
Sony working on double speed wireless charging
Sony is developing wireless charging technology that will cut the charging time in half, reports Japan's Nikkei. The new technology, which is due in the second half of 2014 will dramatically reduce the time for wirelessly charging a device taking it down to around one hour. Sony is able to achieve the reduction as by being able to successfully conduct electricity at 10-15 Watts, double the amount current wireless chargers are able to deliver.
The Sony device will fall under the latest Wireless Power Consortium international Qi standard. Currently Nokia, Samsung and others have developed wireless charging for their devices under the Qi branding, although it is not expected that these devices will be forward with the new Sony technology. It is possible, however, that future Sony devices that support the new format will be backwards compatible with the older standard.
Intel recently spurned the Wireless Power Consortium Qi standards and opted to join the Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP) instead. Intel has been working on wireless charging that utilizes near-field magnetic resonance that don't need devices being charged to sit on an charging mat.

|Autograft failure after the Ross operation in a rheumatic population: pre- and postoperative echocardiographic observations.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8858504 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND AND AIMS OF THE STUDY: Between January 1990 and July 1995, 108 patients underwent the Ross operation at our hospital. Most patients (90%) had severe aortic regurgitation (AR) in the setting of rheumatic heart disease. Although there have been no perioperative or late cardiac deaths, 12 patients (11%) developed severe AR requiring reoperation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We performed an extensive and mostly retrospective analysis of echocardiographic data on all patients. Preoperative data were analyzed for age, sex, body surface area (BSA), size and comparison of the left and right ventricular outflow tracts (LVOT, RVOT), left ventricular (LV) size and function, and the presence of pulmonary regurgitation (PR) and concomitant mitral regurgitation (MR). Follow up data were analyzed for the presence, time of onset, evolution and severity of AR, characteristics of the AR jet, anatomic and functional aspects of the aortic root and valve, and evolution of LVOT diameter and LV size and function. RESULTS: Patients with autograft failure were younger with smaller BSA, larger indexed size of LVOT, RVOT and LV, and significantly more had concomitant severe MR. Postoperatively they had larger and increasing LVOT size. Trivial or mild AR was common and seen in almost all patients, as was a minimal degree of preoperative PR. Severe AR developed mostly after the first year of follow up, and reoperation was performed within three years in 11/12 patients. In nine patients cusp dilatation and prolapse (most frequently of the posterior cusp) was the cause of the AR, and rheumatic activity in three. Reoperation was not associated with mortality. CONCLUSION: In our population autograft failure seems to be related to age, BSA and (indexed) LVOT, RVOT and LV size, but only the presence of significant concomitant mitral regurgitation before surgery was identified as a predictor for reoperation. Prolapse of one or more cusps were the cause of the AR in most patients. The graft is sensitive for recurrent rheumatic activity.
