Glock Ex-General Counsel Under the Gun in Racketeering Trial
(www.law.com)-R. Robin McDonald-Glock Inc.'s former general counsel goes to trial Oct. 24 in Cobb County Superior Court on theft and racketeering charges related to allegations that he misappropriated millions of dollars from the international firearms maker. Paul F. Jannuzzo, a former New Jersey prosecutor who served as Austria-based Glock's general counsel and top executive in the U.S. from 1991 to 2003, was extradited earlier this year from Amsterdam, where he fled in 2009 shortly before he was scheduled to go to trial on the charges.
The indictment accuses Jannuzzo of engaging in a racketeering scheme to siphon corporate funds with the help of Dunwoody lawyer Peter S. Manown, a former senior vice president of the company. Manown, at one time an attorney with the defunct Atlanta law firm Cofer Beauchamp Stradley & Hicks, earlier pleaded guilty to three counts of felony theft and was sentenced on Jan. 7, 2008 to 10 years of probation. He is expected to be the state's primary witness against Jannuzzo.
Glock, which manufactures semi-automatic, polymer handguns, supplies firearms to the majority of law enforcement agencies in the U.S. The closely held company is controlled by 82-year-old Austrian founder Gaston Glock. Its U.S. headquarters is in Smyrna, where the firearms are assembled.
Jannuzzo's indictment stems from Manown's decision in October 2003 to confess to Gaston Glock that he and Jannuzzo had, for years, skimmed funds from Glock companies in the U.S. and abroad.
In October 2009, as Jannuzzo's scheduled trial on theft and racketeering charges was approaching, he jumped bail and fled to Mexico, according to court records. His failure to appear in Cobb County Superior Court on Oct. 23, 2009 led to state and federal warrants for his arrest on charges of flight to avoid prosecution. The FBI and U.S. marshals tracked Jannuzzo to Amsterdam in December 2009. He was extradited to the U.S. last May and is awaiting trial in the Cobb County Jail.
Jannuzzo's attorney, Robert H. Citronberg, didn't respond to multiple calls and emails. Cobb County District Attorney Pat Head also declined to discuss the case.
When Jannuzzo resigned from Glock in February 2003, he was the company's chief operating officer and general counsel in the U.S. Beginning in 1991, when Glock hired him, Jannuzzo was a visible presence in the national debate over gun control as firearms manufacturers fought restrictions on ownership and sales. He led the industry's defense against a string of product liability suits filed by shooting victims and municipalities, and he became one of its most outspoken advocates.
"Paul Jannuzzo was the face of the American gun industry in the late 1990s and the early years of the 21st century," said Richard Feldman, the former executive director of the industry trade association, the American Shooting Sports Council, and a former a Glock consultant.
A Villanova graduate who earned his law degree at Vermont Law School in 1982, Jannuzzo spent three years as an assistant county prosecutor in Monmouth County, N.J., before joining McKenna, Liska & Leone in Red Bank, N.J., in 1985. In 1991, Jannuzzo was hired by Glock as general counsel in Smyrna and later given additional responsibility as COO in the U.S.
When Jannuzzo left Glock in February 2003, he characterized it as a retirement, telling The Wall Street Journal that he was "in the process of discussing a consulting contract with Glock."
According to Jannuzzo's LinkedIn profile, after leaving Glock he worked from April 2004 to Sept. 2008 as chief operating officer and general counsel for CheyTac USA, a Georgia company that manufactures sniper rifles. In response to a query from the Daily Report, CheyTac COO Pat Savanella expressed dismay over Jannuzzo's claims. According to Savanella, Jannuzzo did some consulting work for CheyTac after he left Glock, but was not a corporate officer. She said Jannuzzo was terminated at the end of 2007.
Jannuzzo's LinkedIn profile also claims he is currently a principal of Kronstadt Advisory Services Group in metro Atlanta, which provides "management consultant and advisory services to investment banking firms in regard to the defense space and adjacent markets." The Daily Report was unable to verify the existence of Kronstadt.
In 2008, more than five years after Jannuzzo left Glock, a Cobb County grand jury indicted him on racketeering charges that included underlying allegations of theft, forgery and obstruction of justice through the use of forged documents, fraudulent billings, cloned bank accounts and fictitious off-shore companies.
The indictment specifies the theft of more than $300,000 in corporate funds and accuses Jannuzzo of using company assets without authorization and forging Gaston Glock's signature to make a $1 million loan to a real estate development company with which Peter Manown was affiliated. It also accuses Jannuzzo of guaranteeing, without authorization, a second loan for $3.4 million and fabricating the accompanying loan documents. In an affidavit in Cobb County court filings, Gaston Glock accused Jannuzzo of stealing "millions."
The charges against Jannuzzo also include the theft of a .45-caliber LaFrance Special semi-automatic custom pistol that the company said it placed in Jannuzzo's "temporary custody" during his tenure at Glock. The firearm, valued at $2,200, according to court records, was recovered by Smyrna police on Aug. 27, 2007 when Jannuzzo was arrested during an alleged incident of domestic violence at his home, according to Smyrna police. The domestic violence charges were dismissed, police said.
If convicted on all counts, Jannuzzo could face up to 20 years in prison.
The indictment tracks Manown's confession to Glock's outside counsel in New York, John Renzulli, and, a few days later, to Gaston Glock and his attorney, Johann Quendler, in Austria during the fall of 2003. At that time, Manown described to Glock's founder and counsel how he and Jannuzzo had misappropriated and stolen company funds, according to a 283-page transcript of a proffer that Manown made to Cobb County prosecutors on Oct. 17, 2007.
Manown made the proffer as part of a binding plea deal, said his attorney, Bruce H. Morris of Morris & Finestone in Atlanta. Morris said that Manown confessed to Gaston Glock and the company's attorneys in 2003, and that he repaid as much as he could of the funds he had stolen. Manown said in his proffer that he can't remember how much money he siphoned from Glock's corporate accounts, but he recounted multiple instances in which he or Jannuzzo misappropriated monies —a total of more than $5 million.
Manown confessed "on his own volition" without counsel because he felt guilty, Morris said."It was eating away at him. He had done something terrible," Morris explained.
Morris said that Manown "was led to believe they would not bring criminal charges." But after Manown was contacted by the FBI and began cooperating with the bureau and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in a what Morris said was then an investigation involving Glock, Morris said he was contacted by Cobb County Assistant District Attorney Christopher Timmons, who told him Glock had accused Manown of theft. Morris said that Manown agreed to plead guilty to theft charges in return for a probated sentence.
As part of that deal, Manown gave a proffer of his own role as well as Jannuzzo's alleged participation in thethefts. The following account is taken from Manown's proffer.
Manown detailed for Timmons and Glock attorney Renzulli—who handled the bulk of Manown's examination during the proffer—how he and Jannuzzo had misused or stolen corporate funds during their tenure at Glock.
Manown said his decision to confess his role in the thefts was precipitated by Jannuzzo's abrupt departure from Glock in February 2003, Jannuzzo's efforts to enlist Manown in a scheme to repay some of the stolen funds and Glock's decision to begin investigating Jannuzzo after the lawyer resigned.
Manown said he met with Jannuzzo and Gaston Glock the day Jannuzzo quit at Glock's house in Vinings.
Jannuzzo, he said, "rolled in with a stack of files … and threw the things down … and basically said, 'I quit, you son-of-a-bitch.'" Jannuzzo then demanded $4 million, adding that one of Glock's favorite employees was "cleaning out her office because she is quitting, too."
That employee, Manown said, was Monika Bereczky, Glock's human resources director, who later married Jannuzzo.
"Glock stood up and screamed, 'Why are you doing this to me?' and left the room and went into his bedroom," Manown recalled. He and Jannuzzo then heard a sound like that of a gun being cocked, he said. "Mr. Glock always carries a gun with him," he said.
"And I said, 'Paul, did you hear that?' And he patted his heel. He had a holster down there. So I didn't know if we were going to have a shoot-out at the O.K. Corral or what."
But when Glock emerged, he wasn't brandishing a gun. He and Jannuzzo "screamed at each other," Manown recalled. "Jannuzzo then left … As he left the stairs … and was walking to his car, he turned around and yelled, 'You're history.'
"It turned out that Jannuzzo had had an altercation with Glock's ex-son-in-law at the Glock facility earlier that morning. And that's how he quit," Manown said.
Manown added that Gaston Glock apparently had been "getting overly familiar" with Jannuzzo's girlfriend. "And my guess is that Jannuzzo … just thought he had enough of this dirty old man, and I'm out of here. … I'm sure there was more to it, but I think that's what had pushed him over the edge."
Manown said he never knew what was contained in the files that Jannuzzo slammed down on Glock's kitchen table because Jannuzzo took them when he left.
"I guess it's fair to say that Jannuzzo, and maybe I to some extent, thought we knew where some skeletons of Glock's were, and Jannuzzo was going to use that to quit on his terms, which obviously didn't happen," he said.
Two months later, in April 2003, Manown said Jannuzzo called him, asking for money "to repay his share of some money that we had taken"—about $1 million—from a Cayman Island insurance company owned by Glock Inc. called FAIR. "He came to my office and was very concerned about getting it taken care of immediately," Manown said.
At the time, Manown said he had received word that Glock's Austrian accountants were preparing to do an audit of the Cayman insurance company. "I think that's why he wanted to get that money back in place," he said.
Manown said he "cashed in a number of stocks" to reimburse the insurance company, and then told Jannuzzo to sign a $500,000 promissory note to cover the balance.
The $1 million Jannuzzo had sought Manown's help in repaying was originally a loan from the Glock-owned insurance company, FAIR, to BAITA, a firm owned by Swiss investors of which Manown was vice president. It is also the basis for one of the racketeering counts against Jannuzzo, who sat on the insurance company's board. FAIR a captive insurance company, insured Glock's enterprises and was intended to pay any losses or claims on product liability suits brought against them. BAITA had no affiliation with Glock's companies.
"BAITA was interested in obtaining a $1 million loan that they would pay back with a good interest rate," Manown said in his proffer. "I'm sure it [the interest rate] was in the high teens. I happened to mention that to Jannuzzo, and he said, 'Look, we have this money sitting in the Caymans. We can make the loan, and we can take some of the interest.' And then it was actually going to be done legitimately."
But when the insurance company's manager insisted on having Gaston Glock's approval as well as Jannuzzo's before he would approve the loan, Jannuzzo "signed Gaston Glock's name," Manown said.
"I think he [Jannuzzo] probably thought that he had the authorization to do this without Mr. Glock's signature," Manown said.
Manown said the insurance company made the loan and, for a time, BAITA made payments on the principal. He said he was paid a commission between $15,000 and $20,000 for securing the loan.
He added, "I think Jannuzzo and I siphoned off some of the interest."
Eventually, said Manown, BAITA wasn't able to make the payments. Manown said that assets from another Glock subsidiary—a company known as Consultinvest in which Manown and Jannuzzo were both directors—were used to guarantee another $3.4 million BAITA loan associated with BAITA's development of a Florida shopping center in 2002. The two Glock executives split the fees they were paid to arrange the loan, according to Manown, who said his share was $400,000.
Five months after Jannuzzo signed the promissory note to cover for the $1 million loan from FAIR, Johann Quendler—Glock's Austrian general counsel and the president of Glock's parent company in Austria—warned Manown that the company had begun investigating its former U.S. general counsel. At the time, Jannuzzo was continuing to seek a settlement with Glock associated with his departure, including his demand for $4 million and a consulting contract, according to Manown. Glock's investigation included tapping Jannuzzo's telephones, monitoring his email correspondence and having him followed by detectives, Manown said.
Manown said Quendler told him that some emails Jannuzzo had sent to him had been intercepted, and Quendler warned Manown to cut off all contact with Jannuzzo.
"I just snapped," Manown recalled. "I didn't sleep for three days, and I couldn't think of anything for five seconds other than how to get out of this." On Oct. 24, 2003, Manown placed a call to Renzulli, Glock's outside counsel in New York, to confess. Manown said that he and Jannuzzo also skimmed money from other Glock deals.
In one case, he explained, "Gaston Glock was willing to pay $7.7 million to get a property … that would have been available for $7.5 million. And I think Jannuzzo
and I were at lunch, and just saying, 'Boy, it would be nice to somehow have him happy paying his price, but make some money at the same time. … What ultimately happened was the [real estate] closing occurred and we … put pressure on the broker to share some of his commission."
Jannuzzo hasn't countered Manown's allegations in court filings. But an undated email from Jannuzzo to Manown (addressed to "Dear **** for Brains") that was included in Manown's proffer, mocked Manown as "the man with all the keys to all the accounts" and Gaston Glock's "mouthpiece."
"You kind of work your life around the Goebbels' rule do you not?," he wrote—a reference to Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler's propaganda chief. "Tell a lie, retell it, keep telling it and it becomes the truth. [At] least it does to your cowardly warped mind."
"The amount of people you have dragged into this morass of yours, the amount of mud you have slung at totally innocent and unaware people is mind boggling, Jannuzzo wrote. "I still imagine you are as stupid as I thought you were. I just never realized you had the capability to be so sneaky. I guess when one is lazier than **** that is what happens, what do you think, true or false?
"Go Screw Yourself You Lazy Worthless Piece of ****."
Manown has said he stashed most of the money he stole while working for Glock in a bank in the Cayman islands, where he said Jannuzzo also had an account he used for similar purposes.
"I wasn't buying anything," Manown said when asked to explain what happened to the money he stole. "My lifestyle hasn't changed in 30 years, and I don't have much money in the bank because of what I gave back to Glock. I don't know where it went … but I sure didn't acquire a lot of antiques or assets or property with it. … I guess here and there, maybe we would go out to dinner more often than if I didn't have it. "
Jannuzzo, according to Manown, may have used some of the stolen funds to buy property in Cherokee County as well as an Atlanta condominium. "He's also had a lot more expenses than I have at this point," Manown explained. "He's got three little girls living with his second wife, and he's got financial obligations.
He added: "I knew he was doing a lot with stocks. … I think that he plays the stock market."
Asked by Glock attorney Renzulli why they took the money, Manown replied, "I'll tell you why. … I'll say it as concisely as I can. Glock is not Snow White. He's got a lot of skeletons. He's done, in my mind, a lot of things that are much worse than what Jannuzzo and I did. He makes roughly $200,000 a day, him personally. …He's just a bad guy, and with all this money laying around, he needed it like a hole in the head, and we just, you know, we let greed and our ethical standards slip … It wasn't like we were stealing from Mother Theresa. We were stealing, in my mind and in Jannuzzo's … from a bad guy."
And, he added, '"It was so easy. There was so much money flying around in this company, in this industry. It was like Monopoly money."
Asked about Manown's allegations regarding Gaston Glock and his companies, Renzulli told the Daily Report he had no comment. Carlos Guevara, Glock's general counsel in Smyrna, couldn't be reached.
But during the proffer, Renzulli took issue with Manown's allegations about Gaston Glock.
"I want to make something clear to you," Renzulli said. "I don't think he [Gaston Glock] is a bad guy. And even if he was bad guy, where I grew up that doesn't mean you can steal money from this guy.
"I take offense that you would use this as a defense," he continued. "The problem is, you just said on the record that Mr. Glock is a bad guy, he is an illegal guy, he bribes people and all that."
Replied Manown: "Well, I know that. I did some of them for him, John."

Former Glock CEO Convicted of Racketeering
(The Outdoorwire.com)-Following a week of testimony, it took a Cobb County, Georgia jury slightly less than six hours to find former Glock CEO Paul Jannuzzo guilty of racketeering.. The racketeering charge was reached as the jury found Jannuzzo, 55, guilty of two other charges: stealing a pistol and conspiring with former Glock executive Peter Manown to skim millions from the Smyrna, Georgia-based Glock.
Jannuzzo will be sentenced later this month, and could face 30 years in prison for the conviction. His attorney, Robert Citronberg says he will appeal the conviction. Peter Manown pleaded guilty to three counts of theft in 2008 and was sentenced to 10 years probation and no jail time. In return, he provided prosecutors with a statement outlining the embezzlement he and Jannuzzo had allegedly engaged in.
Jannuzzo was originally indicted in 2007, but was reindicted in 2008 so prosecutors could add the charge of obstructing law enforcement when he allegedly lied to Symrna Police during questioning. Had he not been reindicted, the statute of limitations would have expired on the gun theft charge. Without that charge, Jannuzzo would not have been in jeopardy under the racketeering charge.
Glock founder Gaston Glock did not testify in the proceeding.

But it goes like this: If congress won't let the treasury borrow more money to pay America's bills, why not just let the US mint - MINT - a bright shiny new coin. With a face value of $1 trillion.
You see, the debt limit only limits how much debt the treasury can issue. It does not apply to cash. If a pile of cash suddenly landed on Treasury's doorstep, there's nothing that says the Treasury couldn't spend that.
There are strict rules about minting gold and silver coins, but, thanks to a loophole, there is NO limit on the face value of platinum coins. And this idea - which has been percolating through the Internet for a couple of years, has now been endorsed by one Philip Diehl, the former director of the U.S. Mint - and the man who helped write the loophole.
"I have to admit we never foresaw this application of the law," Diehl admitted in an interview with Seattle's Morning News.
So the U.S. Mint would strike a trillion dollar platinum coin, put it in a armored car, deliver it to the Fed, which adds it to the Treasury's bank account, and just like that, this year's deficit is erased, and Congress doesn't have to do a thing. You know how fracking is discovering all that hidden oil? This is monetary fracking.
Diehl said it wouldn't cause rampant inflation or allow Congress to spend a trillion dollars more, so there's really no downside.
"All this would do is allow the treasury to continue paying the bills that come in that Congress has already racked up," he said.
The only weak point in this plan, is who transports the coin across town to the Fed. It had better be the president himself, since we know where he is at all times.
Yes it's crazy.
But since it's also pretty crazy that members of Congress are considering actually defaulting on the debt of the richest country on earth - why not fight crazy with crazy?
Diehl said it likely won't happen (a White House spokesman dismissed the idea Wednesday.) But perhaps it'll get Congress off the dime and actually doing something to avoid default.

Is it possible to get DLC using Kmeaw? Specifically trying to get the DLC for Fallout 3 but I don't believe you can access the Playstation Store without updating the system software correct?
Is it possible to get DLC using Kmeaw? Specifically trying to get the DLC for Fallout 3 but I don't believe you can access the Playstation Store without updating the system software correct?
Some DLC are available for CFW users, I would do a bit of searching around for the DLC you want and if you can't find it for CFW I guess you can't get it.
I was wondering the same thing I like playing rockband and I have 125 downloaded songs with the cfw is there a way to get them in the file system some how. There saved on the hard drive so there must be a way to get them.
DLC packs for various games are being released all the time for cfw recently. Ask propositionjoe and he might be able to help you. http://www.ps4news.com/forums/ps3-cf...tml#post404988
Good luck, I've looked everywhere for the dlc for that game and simply just couldn't get it (I have the original game). In the end I decided to just buy the GOTY edition since it was cheaper and easier.

In this article
What is Patau's syndrome?Patau's syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality. Babies are normally born with 46 chromosomes. These are arranged in 23 pairs. Children with Patau's syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 13 in every cell of their body. Patau's syndrome is also called trisomy 13. It is the most severe of all chromosomal abnormalities (Best 2014).
Sadly, most babies with Patau's syndrome only survive for a few days. The few babies that do survive rarely live beyond a year. Babies with Patau's syndrome have major developmental disabilities and severe health problems (Best 2014, Tidy 2013).
How common is Patau's syndrome?Patau's syndrome is very rare. Fewer than 200 babies are diagnosed with Patau's syndrome in the UK each year (SOFT UK 2011). Patau's syndrome causes such serious complications that, sadly, most affected babies are lost during pregnancy.
When is Patau's syndrome diagnosed?Screening tests in the first trimester may suggest Patau's or another chromosomal abnormality.
A mid-pregnancy ultrasound scan may show up some abnormalities. Further tests such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS) are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Where can I get help and support?
- SOFT UK offers support and advice to families affected by chromosomal disorders.
- Contact a Family provides support and advice to the families of disabled children.
- Antenatal Results and Choices provides support and advice to parents throughout the antenatal screening and testing process, and afterwards.

I can not believe I haven't wrote a review about this product yet,as its clearly one of my must have & hg items from Mac. I really don't remember why I got this,maybe at the time I was just looking for a new lippie to try. I ordered online & went back & forth on this color & another before finally deciding on Fuschia Fix & I'm glad I did. Not only do I luv it, its so versitile. I keep this in my mu bag as my go to & usually pair it with "Miss Marble" lipglass, its DC'd (got that combo from Sp Nation on YT:) It's awesome together. But it looks great with anything! Whirl lip pencil, Viva glam VI. A couple of my besties have tried it as well, different skin tones, 1 a guy & they like it as well! This is also nice for my lil girl who is 7 and likes to play in mommy's mu lol. As it has just the right hint of color. The price doesn't bother me since it lasts FOREVER! I'll def be getting another one when I ran out.

Nice color but not enough moisturizing for me and not like the pot form. It Ok but nothing special, too expensive for what it does.

I really liked this. The packaging is gorgeous (a clear glass jar with a matte black lid), and the smell is lovely (a faint vanilla scent). The consistency of the lip balm is very thin, which -along with the spf 15- makes it more suitable for summer. You get a lot of product in one pot; 15 milliliters. I've had my pot for almost a year, and I still have lots left! It's quite moisturizing, but not the best for very dry and chapped lips. The colour of this lip balm is quite sheer, but it can be made more powered by applying a few more coats on your lips, which I like. The main thing I *didn't* like about this lip balm was the price. 15 dollars for a lip balm?! That's like a dollar per milliliter! Jeez. Although I did like this lip balm, I probably won't repurchase it unless it comes out in a new, interesting colour.

What a beauty! Let me start with writing a little about my lip condition. I have the worst lips - ALWAYS chapped, dehydrated, flaky and may bleed sometimes. Therefore, it is impossible for me to wear a lip color that is not immensely moisturing. I have tried every lip balm that there is. During one of my visits to MAC, looking at the condition of my lips, the MUA there strongly recommeded that i try this product- and BOY! I have never looked back. My lips look soft and hydrated all the time and have not flaked ever since (it's been 9 months). I don't quite care about the color (it's subtle), as long as it makes my lips look nourished. I wear the driest of lipsticks over this product and it doesn't bother me.
However, i just wish it came in a tube for hygine purposes. Right it only comes in a wide mouth jar.
Nevertheless, i love this product and will contine to use it. My search for a cure ends here.

I love my lipconditioner. I use this daily. It feels very moisturizing and the smell is great, the color is also buildable. It lasts for ageees.The only downside is that it 'fades' very fast away. The jar is cute and easy to use but a tube would be more hygienic. Therefore i love to use this with my MAC 318 retractable lip brush

Oh, my MAC Fuchsia Fix, I can't praise you enough.
You are able to keep the promises your often overly scented and unpleasantly tingling stepsisters(Carmex and the like)can only make.
Only you are able to transform my lips, that often deliver the view of deep valleys shaped by glaciers, into even lowlands again.
Not wanting to forget mentioning your pleasant scent!
Even if I don't use you on a daily basis, say more like once a week, my lips remain in this perfect condition.
Thanks to you, I can use my deeply adored Amplified lipsticks again, without having to fear to be all lip shreds.
But you are so pretty even on your own! I like to compare you to Girl about Town, as you quite look alike.
I hereby pledge eternal faithfulness ;)

This is excellent. I had my eye for theses for a while, originally wanted it in the Petting Pink, but they ran out-so I settled with Fushia Fix-to my surprise-I love it, I use this daily, it takes two seconds to apply, I love the texture it's very smooth and the color looks fabulous. It's great for summer or spring and pair with any daytime look. It's true you can build this color up to a brighter more intense fushia. It's super pretty, I love it!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Red, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Green
I love this! I use it loads, and have had it for years, it lasts ages.
Super moisturising & slightly glossy -I use it in the day to add a bit of colour and to protect & heal my lips, and in the evening instead of lipgloss, to look polished.
Lovely colour -looks pretty full on in the pot, but gives a gorgeous tint when on lips which brightens up my face; more colour than most the other of so-called tinted lip balms I've tried and more moisturising than most lip balms I've tried too.
My packaging is the old white pots (I really have had it for ages, and the consistency is still the same as ever) which weren't great -the white lid got a bit dirty and the colour printed in the top wore off, so it looks a bit scruffy when I pull it out of my handbag. That said, I've chucked it in allsorts of bags, taken it to the beach, dropped it, and it's still in one piece. The new black pots look much better, however. I'll definitely be investing in one when this runs out; at �11 it isn't the cheapest, but I've tried more expensive lip balms that don't perform as well.
I've also got it in petting pink -the colour is much more of a subtle pink, for a more neutral look.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Dry, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Blue
This is fabulous! I got this today (with a shed load of other MAC items) but was initially looking at lipsticks. But no matter what, I cannot get on with lipsticks. So I spotted this little gem. In the pan it looks scarily pink, but on the lips it is a pretty pink colour which can be either used as a wash of colour or built up to a lovely rosy pink. It tastes just fabulous, and leaves your lips feeling so moistened. I do have to keep reapplying, but I wouldn't expect anything else to be honest. The only thing I hate is the packaging. Yes, it looks beautiful and shows the product off in all its glory, but I so wish you had the option to buy it in a tube form - much more convenient and hygienic than sticking your finger in it. I also think that putting it in a tube rather than a plastic jar would bring the price down too, as I think paying �11 for a lip balm is a bit much. But then its still cheaper than paying for a lipstick that I don't get any enjoyment or use out of.
I love it so much I might go back and get another colour. I find these suit me down to the ground, as I like to have strong eyes, but less intense lips.
Oh, and the added SPF 15 is a huge bonus too :o)
Skin: NW20-25
Age: 44-55
Skin: Dry, Dark, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Relaxed, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I'm using this after quite some time of NOT using it and I'm using it as a lipgloss/balm. It being a tinted lip conditioner, however, there are quite a few touch-ups that have to be made only because it simply fades away. The nice scent still holds up but it's got a waxy taste so I do my best not to lick my lips so much - and it conditioning them means I don't really have to. It's an okay product for what I need it for, but I won't repurchase because I can definitely find a similar product for a lot less money.

Mancini admits they have a chanceComment on this story
London – Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has admitted for the first time that his side have a real chance of winning the Premier League title this season.
City's 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, combined with Manchester United's 4-4 draw with Everton, means that only three points separate the top two, with three games remaining each.
The two sides meet at City's Etihad Stadium on April 30 and if City win, they will go above United on goal difference.
Mancini has consistently written off City's hopes in recent weeks but with United faltering, the Italian said: "We have still have a chance."
Goals from Sergio Aguero and Samir Nasri gave them victory at Wolves – a win that relegated their opponents to the Championship next season – and Mancini said he was happy with their performances.
"I'm happy with our form, but we have three games to go and they are all going to be very difficult.
"I still think United have a bigger chance than us at the moment, even if we get three points in the derby we have Newcastle and QPR, which will be difficult games.
"United after us have two games that will not be easy, but not difficult like it will be for us. But we have still have a chance." – Sapa-dpa

I'm not really a fan of black and white and sepia. But this really works, Kenny. This is better than the colour version which in its self is very good.
I could have done with that black and red sky you used in one of your earlier photos just to give it the "Hammer House of Horrors" feel.

One of the revelations from last year's Hardware Show was the Green Toad Pivoting Paint Brush System.
Designed with the consultation of physical therapists, the 'Green Toad' system
uses a 360-degree, rotating head system that locks in eight different positions. It
allows anyone to paint at an angle that's most comfortable for them, which reduces the pain and discomfort associated with traditional paint brushes.
Green Toad decided to use recycled materials by adding Earthgreen polymers to all of the plastics, which renders them 100 percent biodegradable, compostable and recyclable.

DYERSBURG, Tenn. (AP) -- Swallows return to San Juan Capistrano, Calif.
Buzzards flock to Hinckley, Ohio.
Now, donkeys seem to be ambling into downtown Dyersburg.
When animal control officers captured a young female donkey at Dyersburg Intermediate School on Monday, it marked the third animal of the breed that had been found on the loose in the city in two months.
Animal control officer Barry McCord said the incident came about two months after a mother donkey and her baby were found wandering downtown.
McCord said he thinks hard economic times may be to blame, theorizing people may be turning animals loose.
Owners have not come forward in either case.
McCord said he was called out Wednesday night to tranquilize what he termed a "mean" 2,000-pound bull at the Dyersburg Golf Course.
Its owner had called for help.

The opening event of the FedEx Cup Series, the Barclays has been won by Matt Kuchar
"There's nothing like the feeling of winning a PGA TOUR golf tournament. You feel like you are the best player in the world for this week. It's just an amazing feeling to think there's 125 of the best players in the world started this week and I came out first" said Kuchar
Kuchar beat Scotsman Martin Laird in a playoff. Both finished in the Clubhouse on 12 under par. They returned to the par 4, 18th hole for the first of their playoff holes.
Both missed the fairway from their tee shots, but their approaches to the green saw Kuchars ball finishing just two feet from the hole, which he was able to tap in for a birdie. Laird also reached the green, but he two putted for par, and lost out on the $1.35 million prize money.
Kuchars wins means he is now top of the FedEx Cup standings as well as moving him from 23rd to 10th in the World Rankings.
It assures him of a place in the playoffs finale-The Tour Championship presented by Coca-Cola and a more than likely top five finish in the FedEx Cup Standings

The Arroyo Seco watershed takes up approximately the eastern third of the lower Sonoma Valley. The Arroyo Seco channel was the original eastern boundary of the town of Sonoma. The whole of Eighth Street East, and up Castle Road, is the western boundary of this watershed. Agriculture easily takes up 60 percent of the land and water use. Buena Vista and Burndale are the two major unincorporated population centers.
Groundwater and seasonal surface flow are the only sources of water in the Arroyo Seco watershed. The watershed has potentially serious supply issues, including groundwater depletion (overdraft), dry wells, arsenic and saltwater intrusion. These issues are made worse by drought and increasing demand.
The Arroyo Seco area has no water agency or collective controls. Residential, agricultural and light industry users can pump as much groundwater as they want. In some areas, supply is not matching demand and groundwater is receding. The water table is 80 feet below sea level at Denmark and Burndale Road. The Eighth Street East and Napa Street intersection area is one of the highest deep-well depletion areas in the valley.
What can concerned landowners and citizens do? A forum to address Arroyo Seco water issues already exists in the Sonoma Valley Groundwater Management Program (SVGMP). This group has regular meetings and welcomes citizen input; see schedules and agendas online at scwa.ca.gov/svgroundwater/.

Britain renews allegiance to Israeli regime out of Iran fear
British Prime Minister David Cameron has once again renewed his allegiance to the Zionist lobby, when speaking at the annual dinner of the United Jewish Israel Appeal in London. Cameron told his Zionist masters that his coalition government's support to Israel was non-negotiable. The Prime Minister's allegiance to Israel has precedence. Before he was elected premier in a general election on May 2010 that resulted in a hung parliament, a Channel 4 documentary entitled "Inside Britain's Israel Lobby" revealed that at least half of the then shadow cabinet are members of the Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI), a pro-Israel lobbyist group in Britain. "Inside Britain's Israel Lobby" also revealed that donations to Cameron's Conservative party from all CFI members and their businesses add up to well over £10 million over the last 8 years. David Cameron himself accepted a £15,000 donation from Poju Zabludowicz, a Finnish billionaire who chairs Bicom (the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre), according to the program So far it is crystal clear why the British Prime Minister should blindly support pro-Israel lobbyists. But David Cameron is even not the representative of his country's people, but an agent of Zionist lobbyists inside the UK. In his speech to the United Jewish Israel Appeal, Cameron warned British universities and trade unions against running campaigns, whose objectives are to boycott Israel. "And to those in Britain's universities and trades unions who want to boycott Israel and consign it to an international ghetto, I say not only will this government never allow you to shut down 60 years worth of vibrant exchange and partnership that does so much to make both our countries stronger but I also say this: we know what you are doing - trying to delegitimize the State of Israel - and we will not have it", Cameron said. The British Prime Minister also renewed his government's unwavering support to his Zionist masters by threatening the Islamic Republic of Iran. Cameron accused Iran of exporting terror, willfully ignoring the fact that Iran has not waged or threaten to wage a war against any country in the world for the past 200 years. The Zionist Prime Minister of Britain must be reminded that his country has been complicit in each and every atrocity that his Zionist masters are committing against defenseless people of Palestine. In Gaza, the Zionist army is using UK-made drones to target innocent Palestinian women and children. The UK government has been an active part of any war that has been waged by the successive U.S. governments. Britain and the U.S. invaded Afghanistan in 2001 under the false pretext of war on terror. The South Asian country is still grappling with daily terror and violence created by occupation forces of UK, U.S. and their allies. In 2003, Britain and the U.S. launched an invasion against Iraq, again under the false pretext of Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs). The country is still fighting a legacy of terror and violence left by the forces of occupation. Britain has deployed its special forces to Syria, where a foreign-led insurgency is fighting the popular government of president Bashar al-Assad. In Bahrain, a UK agent has been hired by the corrupt monarch of the tiny Persian Gulf island to crush pro-democracy protests and silence the voice of its own people. Speaking at the gathering of his Zionist masters, the UK Prime Minister referred to Iran's economic difficulties created by illegal U.S.-led sanctions against the country. David Cameron cited Iranian currency, oil industry, inflation and other areas of economy that have faced problems. But, the Prime Minister should be reminded that his own country is suffering a double dip recession at a time when unemployment is higher than any time before. The coalition government under Cameron has cut the much-needed budget of National Health Service (NHS) by 20 billion pounds to provide for a lost war in Afghanistan. Now, it should be asked that "who is exporting terror, Mr. Prime Minister?" In his speech, David Cameron mocked Iran's achievements in the field of missile and space technology. But, he should be reminded that his country that boasts of being a developed state, has not been able to put a single satellite into space on its own. Britain is already struggling to cope with the global economic downturn, and it fears that a powerful Iran would change the strategic balance in the Middle East and thus would pose serious threats to the British economy.

XCode repackaged for MAS, updated to version 4.3
updated 09:00 pm EST, Thu February 16, 2012
New version will not auto-update
In a further move to support use of the Mac App Store for developers, the company has issued a new version of XCode as a free Mac App Store standalone application. The new version, 4.3, is for Lion developers and not the same as the v4.4 that was released earlier today with the developer preview of Mountain Lion. The new version replaces the previous XCode and adds support for delta updates among other changes.
The update process for the new version is more awkward than normal due to the new support for MAS updating and delta updates. Developers will need to visit the MAS page directly and download the new package, as it will not show up as a Mac App Store update in the "Updates" section. Once installed, updates will work as normal going forward.
The new version also sports a new "downloads" preference panel for installing optional components such as command line tools and older-version iOS simulators. The application now requires Mac OS X 10.7.3, and includes SDKs for Lion. The app is publicly available for anyone to try, but in order to deploy apps or test iOS apps using the simulator, users must be a registered member of Apple's Developer program.
XCode 4.3 also sports several new changes, including support for code signing with developer ID, an ARC migration tool that converts both retain/release and garbage collection codings, as well as an Open Developer Tool that launches Instruments, File Merge and other tools.

Is CUDA 4.0 faster than 3.2?
I am not interested in the additions of CUDA 4.0 but rather in knowing if memory allocation and transfer will be faster if I used CUDA 4.0.
Is CUDA 4.0 faster than 3.2?
Memory allocation and transfer depend more (if not exclusively) on the hardware capabilities (more efficient pipelines, size of cache), not the version of CUDA.
Even while on CUDA 3.2, you can install the CUDA 4.0 drivers (270.x) -- drivers are backward compatible. So you can test that apart from re-compiling your application. It is true that there are driver-level optimizations that affect run-time performance.
While generally that has worked fine on Linux, I have noticed some hiccups on MacOSX.
Yes, I have a fairly substantial application which ran ~10% faster once I switched from 3.2 to 4.0. This is without any code changes to take advantage of new features.
I also have a GTX480 if that matters any.
Note that the performance gains may be due to the fact that I'm using a newer version of dev drivers (installed automatically when you upgrade). I image nVidia may well be tweaking for CUDA performance the way they do for blockbuster games like Crysis.
Performance of memory allocation mostly depends on host platform (because the driver models differ) and driver implementation. For large amounts of device memory, allocation performance is unlikely to vary from one CUDA version to the next; for smaller amounts (say less than 128K), policy changes in the driver suballocator may affect performance.
For pinned memory, CUDA 4.0 is a special case because it introduced some major policy changes on UVA-capable systems. First of all, on initialization the driver does some huge virtual address reservations. Secondly, all pinned memory is portable, so must be mapped for every GPU in the system.
Performance of PCI Express transfers is mostly an artifact of the platform, and usually there is not much a developer can do to control it. (For small CUDA memcpy's, driver overhead may vary from one CUDA version to another.) One issue is that on systems with multiple I/O hubs, nonlocal DMA accesses go across the HT/QPI link and so are much slower. If you're targeting such systems, use NUMA APIs to steer memory allocations (and threads) onto the same CPU that the GPU is plugged into.
The answer is Yes because CUDA 4.0 reduce the system memory usage and the CPU memcpy() overhead
