Special Note to RV Builders: The section of the Van's Airforce discussion group that showed just a few pictures and short descriptions of this aircraft generated thousands of hits before their list moderator banned the photos and deleted references to it, and put up his own negative comment. That list is operated as a commercial venture by Doug Reeves, a controversial personality who promotes a very conformist model of homebuilding and flying. He will delete your posts if they reference things he dislikes, often as simple as making a low pass.
In a single week, the tracking on our site showed that 220 RV builders on that site followed a link to come here and read my story 2,500 words about levels of aircraft finish… Reeves also deleted all of the links to that story to block RV builders from even referencing it. It was deemed too controversial because it included the single sentence "We were not the ones who decided that regular looking people and the planes they built were not cool enough to be on the cover of their own membership magazine. That one is on the Editors and the management of the EAA…" To my perspective, Reeves is a throwback to the type of aviation magazine editors of the 1980s and '90s who worked to make sure only people they "approved of'" felt welcome in experimental aviation. RV builders are often unfairly characterized as uncreative conformists. Reeves' actions unfortunately reinforce this stereotype. RV builders with open minds are welcome to come here and directly read unfiltered ideas. -ww

F-Secure Anti-Virus 2011
F-Secure Anti-virus 2011 : DeepGuard Protection F-Secure's cloud-based DeepGuard protection checks every application that launches to see if it's a new potential threat.
10 / 10
Bottom Line
F-Secure Anti-Virus 2011 scored well in my tests and even better in independent lab tests. Its interface is clear and simple, but its protection features are unduly complex. In particular, its "real-time" protection requires lengthy mini-scans and sometimes insists on rebooting when it's clearly not necessary. Its protection is good overall.

Jack Osbourne Saves a Woman's Life 1 Day After Marrying Lisa Stelly
Jack Osbourne's first few days as a married man are off to a wild start!
One day after the documentary producer, 26, married actress Lisa Stelly, 27, at the Four Seasons Hualalai in Hawaii, Osbourne and a pal rushed to a stranger's aid near the ocean.
"Really proud of Jack and his friend Tyler who saved a woman on the beach yesterday," Stelly tweeted October 9. Explaining that the woman "had a heart attack and drowned," the newlywed said the men "resuscitated her until the ambulance came. We just found out she's in a stable condition! Awesome!"
PHOTOS: The Osbourne family album
The life-saving event happened one day after Us Weekly exclusively broke the news that the couple of 17 months had gotten hitched. "I cried tears of joy from beginning to end," the groom's mother, Sharon Osbourne, 60, later recounted.
PHOTOS: Stars' exotic destination weddings
Osbourne and Stelly are parents to daughter Pearl, 6 months. The ex-reality star was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in June. "Jack's been through so much," a source says in the new issue of Us Weekly (out now). "This is such a happy ending."

International trumps local
"When my wife first received the letter she couldn't believe her eyes."
Gabriel Yiu, co-owner of Angela & Gabriel's flower shops in Vancouver told CTV News that after 22 years HSBC informed the couple it's closing their small business account. The bank wouldn't say how many B.C. companies received similar notices, but added it is cutting back on its least profitable business customers to focus on those with "international needs." Clients have 60 days to make alternative arrangements.
Langley, B.C.-based Envision Financial is using the bank's move to attract new customers, including the Yius.
Can Silicon Valley be replicated?
What does a "culture of innovation" look like? That's the question a pair of experts attempted to answer at The Atlantic's Silicon Valley summit this week. Stanford's Leslie Berlin and Marina Gorbis of the Institute for the Future came up with a list of seven qualities companies should try to bring to their workplaces, including speed and an emphasis on technical prowess.
Cape Town company strikes a chord
The impressive list of guitar players includes Peter Gabriel, David Gilmour, Chris Rea, Roger Taylor and Paul Carrack. They're all customers of Cape Town business Township Guitars, which builds its hand-made products out of repurposed oil cans, CNN writes. While they were originally designed as collectors' items, the company is now more focused on making "solid, affordable guitars with a 'local flavour.'" The guitars can be purchased at a retail store or through Township's website.
How to create and use metrics
GROWtalks is a day-long conference in Vancouver on Jan. 25, focused on how to create simple metrics and use them to make better product and marketing decisions. Industry experts will share advice on how to improve design, product strategy, customer development, user acquisition and conversion optimization.
Application process under way
Business venture competition TiEQuest 2014 is accepting applications until Jan. 31. It's open to existing and aspiring entrepreneurs in Canada and the United States. The multi-stage competition encourages contestants to challenge their business models and success factors, with more than $150,000 in prizes at stake, and an opportunity to win up to $1-million in investment from sponsoring funds.
How to make a great pitch
The most common problem with pitches startups make to investors is that the presentations are too technical and try to communicate too much, says columnist Chris Griffiths. "I'm a product-centric person, to be sure, but I don't need to know the molecular structure of your technology."
No revenue model? You're done
When it comes to making money, especially in the consumer tech-obsessed era we're currently in, there are literally thousands of different ways to establish a revenue model. They key to finding the right one, or a combination of several, for any startup is agility and adaptability, Cameron Chell wrote in a guest column from January.

Explore the tropical flavors and rich culinary traditions of America's island paradise. Puerto Rico, a land of gorgeous beaches and luxurious resorts, also boasts a rich culinary culture with a mix of influences: Spanish, African, Taino (Native American), and French. For adventurous mainland cooks in pursuit of exotic flavors, this book offers exciting new territory, and for Puerto Rican descendants everywhere, it pays tribute to the beloved homeland. Jose Santaella presents foods that only a local would know: the tradition of lechon--spit-roasted suckling pig--in the mountains near the rainforest, or dumplings of mashed plantains with land crab hand-rolled in ramshackle shacks along the shore. Among the book's more than one hundred recipes are classics like Salt Cod Fritters with Pique and Fried Whole Snapper with Pineapple and Cilantro Salsa, as well as contemporary creations, such as Avocado and Papaya Salad and Curried Goat with Lime and Orange Rice. Cocina Tropical captures the flavors and spirit of this truly enchanting island.

The other day, I was part of a presentation on seed stage investing in the midwest. One of the questions we received was on "social investing".
Social investing is a hot new thing. My friend Linda Darragh is setting up a social venture incubator in Chicago. It's a good idea.
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you might find it odd that I support businesses in social ventures. I do, but it depends.
The way entrepreneurs really create value is by finding pain points and solving them with a business idea. If it is a big market and their solution can scale, they can create a lot of value. They also make a lot of money. That's not a bad thing.
If you see a problem or pain point, say "food deserts" for example. An entrepreneur might figure out a novel way to combat that problem. If the problem is big enough, and their solution is easily replicable over and over again, they will make a lot of money.
The problem with most entrepreneurs in social ventures is that they feel compelled to donate a portion of the profits to a community organization. That's where we differ. If I am an investor, I assumed the risk. I deserve the profits. The business is already engaged in solving the problem.
Here is a great example of a social venture. Give Forward raises money for people that need help paying for life saving surgery.
The other thing that entrepreneurs need to realize is that not all ideas are going to succeed, even if the problem they are trying to address is important. There are a variety of reasons for that. Maybe the market isn't actually big enough. Maybe the entrepreneur perceives it as a problem, but the market doesn't. Maybe they didn't execute well. The market dictates to the entrepreneur, not the other way around.
The other thing I fear is that entrepreneurs will try to apply business activity to solve normative economic problems. Just because one person perceives a problem doesn't mean another will. Businesses might work for a short time through sheer force or will, or a regulatory maneuver in Washington. But businesses that attack normative problems are generally not sustainable. They are fads. As soon as values change, your out of business.

Sharpsburg claims sewer deal with O'Hara outdated, plans to renegotiate
Sharpsburg officials want to review an agreement with O'Hara on water flow from township properties into the borough's sewer system.
The 1985 agreement calls for 151 residents from O'Hara to pay a fee for water flow into Sharpsburg's sewer system. Councilman Lou DeLuca said that number has grown greatly since that agreement was made. It now is 1,240 residents.
O'Hara currently is being billed $40 each for the 151 homes that use the sewer system and a $1,670 maintenance fee. Those fees were increased in 2007.
Borough engineer Robert Ziskhau said the need to examine the agreement came from a proposal that would add pump stations in O'Hara, which would put more flow into the borough's system.
"You're not paying for the total number of houses that are coming into the system now, and the proposal is for several hundred additional houses under the new construction, so now is the time to make it work," Ziskhau said.
Ziskhau and borough Solicitor Mike Witherel will be in charge of renegotiating the agreement and presenting it to officials.
Ziskhau said the two will need to review information available to come up with a fair agreement to present to O'Hara officials.

ATHENS - Attacks against migrants in Greece on the rise, say rights groups.
According to local rights groups, there have been 300 attacks on migrants since April, with many more likely unreported.
According to the Greek Reporter, anti-racism campaigners are pushing the for better police protection of immigrants who have faced increasing violence as the Greek economic crisis reaches its fifth year.
Right-wing anti-immigrant sentiment has been building in Greece as the economic conditions deteriorate.
The extreme right-wing Golden Dawn party has witnessed a meteoric rise from obscurity to winning 18 seats in parliament in the June 17 election.
The Associated Press recounted a recent attack on immigrants in suburban Athens, which involved nearly two dozen masked men with clubs.
"It was 10 o'clock at night and I was sitting outside eating because it was really hot ... Suddenly about 20 men appeared, maybe more. They were all wearing hoods. They started hitting us," Kumar, a 40-year-old who has lived in Greece for 12 years, told the Associated Press.
Rights groups in Greece say the police turn a blind eye to this kind of violence nor do Greek police keep statistics on racially-motivated crime.
It is unknown how many migrants live in Greece but it is likely in the hundreds of thousands.
Most live in squalid conditions in central Athens, often dozens to one apartment.
Greece is seen by most as a gateway to the rest of Europe - a pitstop to a better life that many find impossible to leave due to border controls and poverty.

British tourist jumps out of hotel, says she was trying to escape sex assault
NEW DELHI — On a day when lawmakers discussed a new anti-rape law, a British tourist jumped off a balcony of her hotel room to escape being sexually assaulted by the hotel owner in Agra, the city of the Taj Mahal, police said on Tuesday.
The tourist fractured her leg when she jumped from the second floor.
Subhash Chand Dubey, a senior police officer, told reporters in Agra that the owner knocked on her door at 4 a.m., offered her a massage and refused to leave, even after she declined.
The hotel owner then tried to enter her room forcibly with a security guard, and the tourist jumped off the balcony to escape, Dubey said.
Dubey said the hotel owner has been arrested.
The incident occurred three days after a Swiss woman was gang raped while she was bicycling through central India with her husband.
In spite of the huge nationwide protest against the fatal gang rape of a young woman in New Delhi in December, as well as government efforts to pass tougher laws, the number of rape incidents continues to rise.
"We are today facing an epidemic in this country. Let's come to terms with that first," said Pinaki Misra, a member of Parliament, as lawmakers discussed new anti-rape legislation that seeks to not only make punishment tougher, but also widen the definition of sexual assault to include stalking, voyeurism and acid attacks on women. "We are now called the rape capital of the world. What has happened to us?"

This is a bright classic red with a creme finish. Similar colors are China Glaze Dress to Kill & OPI Big Apple Red. I see no significant blue or orange undertones. I'd say it's a neutral red, but if I had to choose a side, it might be SLIGHTLY cool. It's got a great glossy shine and is just wonderful. Looks great on my cool-toned PPP fingers or toes when I want a bright, but not trashy, neutral red. When I want to go slightly more subdued, I use Essie Garnet, which is a classic blue-red creme.

Resident and Ladies Auxiliary member Jennifer Clark sings the national anthem during the Veterans Day Service of Remembrance at VFW Post 308. Behind her, from left, are Post Chaplain Donna Monteleone, First Selectman Pat Llodra, and Post Commander James Rebman.
Early Tuesday afternoon, Newtown High School was placed on "lock-in" status due to an unspecified threat which was made on Internet-based social media directly against the high school, School Superintendent Joseph Erardi, Jr, said in a statement.
At about 1:10 pm, the school was placed in a "lock-in closed teaching and learning environment," he said.
During such situations, visitors are not allowed on school grounds and all people in the school remain inside the building.
The ever-popular Newtown Bee calendar for 2015 is now available at The Bee's offices at 5 Church Hill Road. Many people like The Bee calendars for their large print and simple design.
The calendars are free, but the supply is limited to one per person, so stop by and get yours soon.
Town police are warning local residents about a series of ongoing scams conducted by criminals generally via telephone calls and sometimes through interactions on the Internet.
Police Sergeant Steven Santucci said that one of these scams which has been an ongoing problem nationwide involves an aggressive telephone caller who falsely tells the person receiving the call that he is a US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agent who requires the immediate payment of an outstanding tax debt.
On November 6, police learned of a trespassing incident that had occurred on Wednesday, October 29, at the town Parks & Recreation department building located at 2 Trades Lane, on the northeast corner of Trades Lane and Wasserman Way at Fairfield Hills.
Police said that between 9 and 9:10 am on October 29, a heavy-set white man with a white beard, who was wearing blue jeans and a grey sweatshirt bearing a logo, walked through an open door and entered the building.
In honor of Veterans Day, The Men's Breakfast Club of Newtown Senior Center hosted former Newtown First Selectman and World War II veteran Joseph Borst as its guest speaker on Thursday, November 6. The Breakfast Club meets the first Thursday of each month at 9 am, sharing a light breakfast and conversation.
Mr Borst shared his reminisces on his time in the service with club members, including several who are also veterans.
A once-promising idea to utilize a state company to thoroughly assess areas where town facilities may be wasting energy and then repair or renovate to enhance efficiency is being deactivated.
Robert Anthony's Hair Salon, 49 Church Hill Road, is offering free haircuts to any veteran who visits the salon on Tuesday, November 11.
The salon is offering the service in honor of Veterans Day.
"My husband, Robert Anthony Sr, is a Navy veteran," said Diane Skuba. Mr Anthony is disabled, she said. "We spent a lot of time at the West Haven VA Hospital, unfortunately, and we want to pass on what we can."
November 11 was originally designated to honor the end of World War I, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Known as Armistice Day for many years, the date has become a day to honor all veterans of all of the wars in which this country has been engaged since World War I.
The public is invited to join members of VFW Post 308 for its annual Service of Remembrance on Tuesday, November 11, at 11 am.
The service will take place at the VFW Post, Freedom Defendors Way (18 Tinkerfield Road), off Mile Hill Road.
If approved by the Legislative Council, new allocations and adjustments to the town's recommended five-year Capital Improvement Plan will underwrite the demolition of three of the four largest building on the Fairfield Hills by 2018.

Resource: Guidelines About The 'Morning Edition' Book Club, Fundraising & The Firewall Between Them # ●
Because it is "essential to avoid even the appearance that fundraising in support of the Morning Edition Book Club has influenced the editorial decision-making involved in conducting the book club," guidelines have been issued that aim to put a "strict firewall between the two activities."
In the interest of transparency, they have been posted here.
The guidelines also been put online because they could prove useful if similar projects are launched.
(Memmos; April 14, 2015)
When stories that were hot a few weeks or months ago pop back onto our agenda, one question always comes up.
It begins like this: "What's our policy on …?"
Variations include:
– "Do we still …?"
– "Didn't you say something about …?"
– "Do I have to …?"
It's good to ask if you're not sure. Either Gerry, Chuck or I are usually available. But remember, you also may be able to find the latest guidance right from your own desk. Not every question can be answered by consulting our online resources, but many can. Here's where to go:
– Wiki. If you're inside the firewall, our Wiki has style guides that cover a lot of territory — from the language we use when reporting about abortion to the words that make up the acronym ZIP. There are links there to AP's Style Book as well. It's a good resource on topics that our guides don't cover. If you're inside the firewall, click here to go to the Wiki.
Note: We're working on moving the style guides to public pages. Member stations have been asking for that.
– Ethics Handbook. You don't need to be inside the firewall to get to our Ethics Handbook. It's the go-to place for guidance on our values and for some case studies and it's public. Click here to go to ethics.npr.org.
– Memmos. These notes are also public. Click here to go to them. Here's a tip: Use the "find" box in the upper right hand corner to search them.
For instance, if you vaguely remember that there was a memmo about when NOT to use the word "teenager," search on that word. The result? "Something To Think About: Was Michael Brown A 'Teenager?' Yes, But …"
Or maybe you're trying to remember how we refer to the group that's trying to take over much of Iraq and Syria. Search "ISIS" and you'll be led to several posts, including: "Islamic State? ISIS? ISIL? Here's Another Reminder About NPR's Guidance."
Not sure if you need to get a consent form signed by a minor's parents? Search on "consent form" and you're taken to: "Here's Where To Find The Latest Version Of Our 'Minor Consent Form.' " The post has guidance and a link to where we've posted a printable form.
Wondering how many times the memmos have referred to Korva? A search shows this is the third one to do that.
Speaking of Korva, right behind the work station she uses on the Newscast desk is a white wall. If you're the old-fashioned sort who likes it when newsrooms put spellings, key facts and other important matters up on a board for all to see, swing by. Your question may be answered right there.
(Memmos; Nov. 19, 2014)
"Dee-law-REN-ta," "day-lah-REN-ta" or "deh-lah-REN-ta?" (for de la Renta)
"Nuh–WEE-ehn," "nuh-wihn" or "wihn?" (for Nguyen)
"OH-feh-bee-a," "oh-FEH-bee-a" or "off-EH-bee-a?" (for Ofeibea)
There's one question that comes up nearly every day: "How do we say so-and-so's name?" The frequency means it makes sense to remind everyone about the resources available to find the answer if an in-house expert from the appropriate desk isn't immediately available.
Our internal Wiki is a good place to start. (Sorry, readers outside our firewall, that link won't work for you.) Right on its landing page there's a link to our own "Pronunciation Guide." Maintained by the librarians, it has the latest NPR-approved pronunciations.
But it doesn't have every possible pronunciation. Mr. de la Renta, for example, wasn't there.
The AP's guide is a good place to check next. (Again, sorry to our outside readers who can't get to that page without their own subscription.)
Still stumped? Consider trying:
– The "Say How?" website maintained by the Library of Congress.
– Voice of America's "Pro-nounce" website.
The Library has other links and tips on the Wiki. The librarians are ready to help figure out the difficult cases that don't show up on any of the lists.
Of course, it also pays to check whether we've ever recorded the person saying his or her own name. As the Library says, "individuals are the primary authority for the pronunciation of their own names." In the case of someone's death, a family member, agent or close friend could be a solid substitute. Embassies and international news sources may also be of assistance when the subject is an international figure.
A little reporting can help as well. We figured out that Broadway star Marian Seldes was a "SEL-dess," not a "SEL-deez" after research turned up a New York Times story in which she "was quick to point out" the correct pronunciation.
Note: The bold typeface above tells you which pronunciation is correct for those three examples.
Related: Wondering how to say the name of that city, river, mountain range, etc.? The same resources can help.
(Memmos; Oct. 21, 2014)
NPR greatly appreciates the financial support it receives from individuals, from foundations and from corporations. Their support is essential. At the same time, NPR makes its own decisions about what stories to cover and how to report them. Neither the people and organizations who support NPR financially, the sources we come in contact with, our competitors nor any others outside NPR's newsroom dictate our thinking.
Update on April 14, 2015: Morning Edition Book Club guidelines.
NPR has issued guidelines that address how the club's editorial process will be insulated from NPR fundraising "by maintaining a strict firewall between the two activities." The guidelines are posted here.
There's no one better than an NPR journalist to describe the value, impact and character of our journalism. So we may be called upon to talk about our work with those who might support it, whether over the air during a pledge drive or in person during a meeting with prospective funders. But in all our interactions with potential funders, we observe this boundary: We're there to tell our story, not to discuss the agendas of our supporters. This means we may describe the goals and ambitions of our editorial agenda, promote the value of our work and the worthiness of supporting it, or recount what we've experienced in our reporting.
Understand that donors may express opinions about the subjects we cover. Don't assent to those opinions or express your own.
These are nuanced lines to tread, and no NPR journalist should feel compelled to participate in meetings with prospective donors or foundations. Again, our sponsorship and development departments are there to support us in our service to the public, not vice versa. Part of the job of these departments is making our funders aware that we will be editorially blind to their support – that we'll conduct our journalism with no favor or slight to them or their interests. They also vet potential supporters to make sure their interests don't present an actual or apparent conflict with our mission.
We've often spoken of a "firewall" that separates NPR's journalists from our funders. Properly understood, the firewall is a useful metaphor. In engineering, a firewall isn't an impassable boundary, but rather a barrier designed to contain the spread of a dangerous or corrupting force. Similarly, the purpose of our firewall is to hold in check the influence our funders have over our journalism.

Ten children killed in stampedeComment on this story
New Delhi - Eighteen people - 10 of them children - died in a stampede during a Hindu festival in India's eastern state of Bihar on Monday, local media reported.
The incident occurred on the banks of river Ganges in the state capital Patna as Hindu devotees were returning after offering prayers to the sun as part of the annual Chhath festival, the IANS news agency reported
A makeshift bamboo bridge at the banks had collapsed, triggering the stampede, police said. Ten of the victims were children, broadcaster NDTV said, quoting local police.
TV images showed people crying and searching for their relatives on the banks, as rescue operations continued late into Monday night.
Several injured were taken to nearby hospitals and the death toll was likely to rise as the condition of some victims was said to be serious.
An estimated 400 000 people from Patna and nearby areas had congregated on the banks for prayers. The Bihar government ordered an inquiry into the accident and announced compensation for relatives of the victims.
Chhath began on Saturday and is a major religious festival in India's northern and eastern states, celebrated over four days. Thousands of followers come to the banks of the Ganges to offer prayers to the Sun God. - Sapa-dpa

The Lonely Consumer: Loner or Conformer?
Despite the popularity of social networks and technologies that intend to enhance social interaction, more Americans feel lonely now than before. This research examines how loneliness affects consumers' responses to consensus-related social cues in marketing contexts. Results from three studies show that lonely consumers prefer minority-endorsed products, whereas nonlonely consumers prefer majority-endorsed products. However, this pattern occurs only when consumers' product preferences are kept private. When product preferences are subject to public scrutiny, lonely consumers shift their preferences to majority-endorsed products. Results also reveal the underlying mechanisms. Minority-endorsed products fit better with the feelings of loneliness, and this fit mediates the effect of loneliness and endorsement type (i.e., majority vs. minority endorsement) on product evaluations in private consumption contexts. Yet, when their preferences are subject to public scrutiny, lonely consumers are concerned about being negatively evaluated by others, and this concern causes them to conform to the majority.

This Mascara is just ok, nothing special but not terrible either. It is a very natural looking mascara so ideal if you just want to put a bit of make up on but for it not too look to obvious which can be nice sometimes. However saying that for the price I would expect better.
The worse thing about this product is the brush, it's way too big and I find it makes more mess than it should and I often end up having to touch up my eye make up.

I have the sample of this and I'm really not too impressed. This mascara gives you an extremely natural look. It does nothing for the volume or intensity of your lashes. It's definitely not something I would buy in a full size. Also the black was more like a brownish black. Unless you like a big brush with little impact, i wouldn't recommend this mascara. I expect more, Benefit.

I bought the mini-size of this, $12 CAD. It's not a great impulse buy. I found it didn't wow me. I felt it didn't last on my lashes and easily smudged, probably because it isn't waterproof and I do wear contacts with a tendency to go teary-eyed. I found drugstore mascaras can do a better job of thickening my lashes without making them look clumpy like this did. I also don't think it did anything for my lashes in terms of lengthening. The wand is a traditional mascara bristle brush that is nice and thick. Overall this is just a so-so mascara. Good for those with already nice lashes that just need a bit of thickening or black coating. I won't repurchase.

so i see different ppl have different opinions about..well about mine.. i had a very dry first encounter n then i thought i blew my money on it. i ended up adding my lens solution just after a week.. this mascara starts to end up on my under eye concealer with in three hours of application which i pretty much hate. but its the only mascara which truly held up the curl n doesnt clump on million layers..the wand is nothing special just huge with a tapered end to catch on small lashes. i wont be repurchasing it just will try to use it up..back to dior iconic!

Terrible. Got this as a giveaway with my reward points at Sephora. I wish I had used them on the other item they were offering. Packaging is great. Brush is great. However the product didn't do anything for my lashes. It didn't lengthen or plump. Also, it smears horribly ended up running. Hello raccoon eyes. No thank you.

I consider myself a mascara junkie and I've tried them all, from crazy cheap to hella expensive. This mascara is so-so. It's a good daytime, natural looking mascara. Unfortunately for me, I prefer drama all day, all the time. The more lashes, the better. My lashes are somewhat long, straight and semi-thick. It performs ok, and I would probably be willing to purchase the small size just to have in my rotation...but what I can't deal with is the smudging/flakiness. 3 hours into my day I have black smudges under my eyes, and I'm not oily at all. It's not worth it to me, and I've found way better mascaras for less $.

Good mascara- does what it says on the tin. However it tended to be quite clumpy and ran out quickly, I needed to apply another mascara over it. Would recommend 'They're real' from Benefit instead.

This is a nice mascara that does the job with fullness and a bit of lengthening. The only issue I have is the Flaking! I don't like my mascara to flake. Aside from the hideous look of flaky mascara the thought of any mascara going into my precious beautiful eyes makes me nervous. This mascara is a no no for moi.

Ugh, what a let down. I had such high hopes for this mascara given I have heard such great things. That being said, this mascara is nothing but RUNNY!!! It makes your eyelashes somewhat thick, nothing special at all. After about 20 minutes its smudging all around my eyes. DO NOT PURCHASE!!!

I have long eyelashes and am constantly looking for a nice mascara that gives my eyelashes falsie-level mascara. After a dalliance with They're Real(good formula, lengthening but zero volume), I'm back to badGal. It curls my eyelashes and gives me enough volume. This is my go-to mascara for a day-night wear.
That said, if your eyelashes are not naturally a little long then I can definitely see how this mascara is not for you.
(I'll keep buying thisand and keep it on me everyday but tbh this is not the one and I'm still on the lookout for something more.)

And yet another positive quarter for Galvanic Applied Sciences with slight improvement year over year in traditional metrics. As for speculation of the company's cash hoard...I had contacted Helen Cornett after the year ends were released, wondering the same thing, and questioning if a special dividend might be considered with a portion of that cash. She replied that a dividend wasn't being considered at the time, and that "a growth strategy" was to be pursued and cash reinvested through a combination of product development and "potential M&A activity".
I continue to hold some GAV; though admit to paring back my holding somewhat (reluctantly) the last few weeks in order to broaden my investment in the sector by taking a position in another crazy, cheap oil and gas service co.
At any rate, I guess that will be it for news until the next quarterlies are released as the company likes to do. Have a good evening.

Anchorage is joining a national initiative to end homelessness among U.S. military veterans by 2015, officials announced Wednesday.
The initiative, called the Mayor's Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness, is part of a push by the federal government to end overall homelessness by 2020.
"Many cities throughout the nation are focused on this issue. Anchorage is too," Mayor Dan Sullivan said at a Wednesday press conference.
He noted the city's history of commitment to homeless initiatives including Karluk Manor, the city's first facility to offer permanent housing to the chronically homeless without requiring them to quit drinking.
Since the federal government published the first national plan on ending homelessness in 2010, veteran homelessness has declined by 24 percent, chronic homelessness by 16 percent and overall homelessness by 6 percent, said Bill Block, the regional administrator for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
In January, the White House recognized Phoenix as the first city to meet the 2015 goal of sheltering all homeless veterans. Other cities currently participating in the initiative include Oakland, California, Jacksonville, Florida and Minneapolis.
In 2013, Anchorage identified 166 chronically homeless veterans, all but six of whom were sheltered, Block said.
"The goal is, really, there are no unsheltered vets. That's a firm line," Block said. The initiative also aims to move veterans more rapidly from the shelter system into permanent housing.
In Anchorage, HUD plans to invest in the Veterans Affairs Supported Housing program, which offers vouchers, and Supported Services for Veteran Families, Block said.
Federal funds will also be providing $3 million in upgrades to the Safe Harbor transitional housing property, in partnership with the Rural Alaska Community Action Program. Those upgrades will include adding rental units and moving some transitional units into permanent housing, said Melinda Freemon, division manager for the city's Division of Public Health Initiatives and Partnerships.
In ranking criteria for social services programs, veterans receive higher points, which helps them gain entry into housing facilities like Safe Harbor and Karluk Manor, Freemon said.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Hearing Loss Association Of America, Bethesda, MD, USA
HLAA is an organization for people with hearing loss, started by a very special person, Rocky Stone in 1979. HLAA's philosophy is three-pronged: education, advocacy and support. We begin by finding out everything we can about our hearing loss - what causes it, what to do about it, how to understand the changes it brings to our lives. Secondly, by becoming educated consumers, we begin to pinpoint the things that are lacking in society for people with hearing loss and we learn how to advocate for ourselves and others. Third, we realize that if it weren't for HLAA, we would be lost in self-pity and frustration about our hearing loss, and we begin to reach out to others. We pay it forward. HLAA is truly vital to the 36 million people with hearing loss in the United States. Hearing loss affects everyone.

State Department Enables Illegal Enbridge Scheme to Expand Tar Sands
Thursday, August 21, 2014
Contact: Gabby Brown, email@example.com, 202-261-2382. Mark Westlund, 415-977-5719; firstname.lastname@example.com
This week, the State Department released documents revealing a scheme by Canadian tar sands giant Enbridge to bypass the Presidential Permit process for expansion of its Alberta Clipper tar sands pipeline. Enbridge has applied to double the capacity of the pipeline, also known as Line 67, to put it on par with the tar sands carrying capacity of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. The State Department has previously made clear that any such expansion requires approval and comprehensive environmental review, and is currently undertaking that review.
Not content to wait for the legally required federal permitting process and environmental review, Enbridge has devised a scheme to transfer the dirty tar sands crude from Alberta Clipper to another pipeline, Line 3, just north of the border, then re-transfer it back to Alberta Clipper once it's crossed into the United States. This blatant scheme to move up to twice the amount allotted in Enbridge's permit seems to assert that the pipeline would only impact the few miles around the border crossing, a clear misinterpretation of both the letter and the spirit of the law.
Shockingly, in a two page letter, a mid-level State Department official indicated Enbridge could move forward with this plan despite the fact that it clearly violates the capacity limit imposed by the permit the State Department issued.
"With no public notice, the State Department has shockingly backtracked on its commitment to require environmental review and approval before more dirty tar sands oil enters the United States through Minnesota," said Marc Fink, a Minnesota-based attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity.
"The State Department has violated the public's right to transparency and participation in approval of projects that impact the health and safety of our communities, land, water and climate," added Kate Jacobson, of MN350. "Allowing significantly more tar sand oil to flow before a full environmental impact analysis is complete is unacceptable and irresponsible."
"The State Department doesn't get to make up the law as it goes. This is particularly troubling in light of allegations of an inappropriately cozy relationship between the State Department and the oil industry surrounding the Keystone XL environmental impact statement," said Jim Murphy, Senior Counsel for National Wildlife Federation. "The State Department cannot in effect approve a doubling of the amount of climate-disrupting tar sands being carried into the Great Lakes region without conducting a proper public review and permitting process. That is a clear violation of the law and the State Department must immediately reverse course and put the best interests of America first."
"When will Canada have enough risky pipelines cutting thru our land and water? When is enough?" asked Jane Kleeb, of Bold Nebraska. "For the promise of jobs and energy independence, landowners and tribes are being sold out so foreign corporations can get tar sands on the export market. Canada is engaged in a scam circumventing federal, state and local laws all in the name of exporting their tar sands while we take on all the risk of spills."
"Expanding the Alberta Clipper pipeline is entirely inconsistent with the administration's commitment to taking aggressive action on climate change, and it's also illegal," said Sierra Club attorney Doug Hayes. "The President's promise to decide Keystone XL based on its climate impacts is completely meaningless if the State Department is simultaneously permitting other tar sands pipelines behind closed doors."
"Enbridge can't show how this project is in the nation's interest, so instead they are trying to hoodwink its regulators," said Anthony Swift, attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council. "Blindly approving Enbridge's tar sands pipeline expansion would make a mockery of our permitting process and undermine our efforts to address climate change."
"Allowing more tar sands oil into the United States without conducting impact analyses is unconscionable and illegal. A State Department spokesman said just this week that the Department is committed to 'a rigorous, objective, and transparent review process' with regards to pipeline approval. That is not possible if they eschew a review process altogether," said Luísa Abbott Galvão of Friends of the Earth.
Jason Kowalski, Policy Director of 350.org, said "When we blocked Keystone XL, the fossil fuel industry learned that they have a much stronger hand to play in back rooms than on the streets. They will break the law and wreck our climate if that's what it takes for them to make a buck -- and we will be ready to stand up to them, from Nebraska, to Minnesota, to the streets of New York City."
"Apparently John Kerry's Department of State doesn't think the President's Climate Test should apply to an additional 350,000 barrels per day of dirty tar sands oil. They're trying to approve almost half the volume of the KXL pipeline, but it won't work. If this stands, this will be a disaster for the climate and for the President's credibility," said Stephen Kretzmann, Executive Director of Oil Change International. "It's terrible timing, as the President prepares to join other world leaders in New York next month. You can't approve more tar sands into the U.S. and then turn around and talk about a commitment to combating climate change with a straight face. That's simply climate denial."
Secretary Kerry and President Obama have both committed to making meaningful progress on climate, and with the international Climate Summit around the corner, the eyes of the world are watching to see how seriously the United States is taking climate action. Allowing this decision to stand would prioritize Enbridge's desire to expand development of the dirtiest fuel source on the planet over the interests of the American people, and would undermine any credibility President Obama has to encourage other countries to commit to combat climate change.
In the event that the Obama Administration does not recognize the dire consequences of allowing this decision to go through, groups opposed to tar sands expansion are currently evaluating their legal options to force an injunction on construction.

Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes
An impressively solid World War II movie of the kind they don't make anymore.Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor, 01.05.2015
While these orgies of violence are staged with tense, gruesome precision, they don't convey much beyond what we already know. Namely, that war is hell. Message received.Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly, 01.05.2015
Pitt, who at 50 still looks great with his shirt off, has the gruff charisma to play a dauntless soldier with killer courage and a vestigial streak of humanity.Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine, 01.05.2015
It's an "unflinching" account of war -- "unflinching," in quotes, because every moment of the film is composed to grind your face into the muck and be proud of itself for doing so.Jake Coyle, Associated Press, 01.05.2015
