Crocus Tip
Ligusticum scoticum
Scotch lovage
- Position: full sun or lighlty dappled shade
- Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: fast-growing
- Flowering period: July to August
- Hardiness: fully hardy
Christopher Bradley-Hole used this to great effect in his 2013 garden at the Chelsea Flower Show. It is a hardy perennial, with attractively divided foliage, from which dark-stained stems arise bearing pretty umbels of pink-tinged, white flowers in midsummer. These are particularly attractive to pollinating insects. Allow it drift through naturalised planting schemes, prairies and woodland edges.
- Garden care: The plant's tendency to self-seed may be a problem in hot summers. If fennel is being grown exclusively for its foliage, remove the yellow flowerheads to prevent it from self-seeding. When flowers have finished them cut back to 30cm from the ground.

- Description
The expert's choice for planted tanks…
This is the best light we sell for planted tanks -- according to our most experienced customers. Separate groups of experienced planted tank enthusiasts who did a "blind review" of prototype fixtures agree this is the perfect match for a heavily-planted aquarium where red, purple, yellow, russet, or orange colored plants are mixed with greenery. They also rated it higher than the T5 bulbs which have dominated international competitions for planted tanks. This fixture's LED color mix was developed to illuminate heavily-planted tanks containing a wide variety of colored plants, and it is perfect for a high-tech (ie: CO2-injected) system or a conventional, non-CO2 aquarium. It has the light (PAR) levels needed to grow the most light-hungry plants in a properly fertilized, CO2-injected environment. When using this fixture in a Lo-Tech, non-CO2, "medium" light environment, we recommend purchasing a dimmer when ordering to produce lower light levels as needed.
Recommended for: Heavily planted aquariums with or without CO2 injection.

Rowdy's Dream Blog #341: I Meet the Farmer's Daughters
By Brutus De Cervantes [ Tue Apr 1 2014 1:43 PM ]
Song: "All my life, all your life, yer numb, yer numb, yer dumb, and then you die…"
In a field near the top of my childhood street I search for a place to build a fort for my nephews. I examine a shady, overgrown area behind some rusty corrugated siding. An old farmer appears. He is friendly and leads me into a huge house he is remodeling. I see his wife down a long hallway with a plywood floor. In the living room, I meet his three daughters. The farmer resumes painting above the mantle. The middle daughter tells a story about my old friend S. I ask about S' sister. I ask if S is married.
"No, but close to it—with (girl's name)!"
"That's even better!" I say.

Rowdy's Dream Blog #337: Hooked by a Fisherman
By Brutus De Cervantes [ Tue Mar 4 2014 11:50 AM ]
I am sitting on a rocky cliff in a canyon between two streets with my boss, C, and some other guys. C wants to hike in the bigger mountains. As we leave, my other boss, E, tells me about the blood in his stool. I beg him to try psyllium.
On our way, we stop in a split-level Walgreens so I can show my friend, R, the protein powder. She tries a sample spoonful of cream-of-wheat from a green desert dish.
We then proceed east on a path up a hill near my childhood home. Two guys are practicing fly fishing in their yard. I am hooked in the back of my black fleece jacket.
"Give me back my fishing arm!" the guy says. I unhook. Now they both have their hooks in C.
"Are you going to club him too?" I ask.

I arrive at a museum. G and my family go in ahead of me. I decide to buy the $10 ticket instead of the $15 one. I ask my sister if she's seen G. She tells me instead about some great surprise our mother has found. I walk down a hallway on the third level. I grab hold of a portal pillar made of mud and stone and peer down into the courtyard below. Under wooden vegas covered with vines I see some sheep grazing. The partition I'm holding crumbles and falls. I close my eyes and wait for the crash but hear only silence. I stroll away nonchalantly.

By Brutus De Cervantes [ Tue Dec 31 2013 12:56 PM ]
G's meditation building: A free-standing, round stucco building in the backyard garden of our new home. A Japanese-style wooden beam arch frames the entryway. Two glowing globe lamps slide across top of the arch on a rope pulley: If these have been separated then someone is inside meditating. Inside, the floor plan is divided into concentric circles. There are four outer meditation rooms, one for each compass direction. An enormous skylight illuminates the open, vaulted ceiling. A circular hallway separates the main center room, which is a large, black-tiled pool, from the meditation rooms. The hallway is lined, floor to ceiling, with walnut bookshelves filled with books and pictures of yogis and saints. A boom box plays ethereal music.

By Brutus De Cervantes [ Tue Dec 24 2013 12:05 PM ]
G and I follow a group of female, Asian, Moonie-type cult people to their trailer parked in the high school parking lot. I run ahead and try to speak to the leader. Meanwhile G is taken inside the trailer. I return and follow them in. For such a small trailer, it is deceptively large inside. Everyone has now disappeared. I search through many empty rooms. Finally, out a window I see that G has been drugged and is being driven away on a yellow fork lift. She shakes limply on the tines. I call to her and yell that I love her. She looks at me, frightened and pleading, and then is gone. Outside the window I can see they have begun to set off fireworks.

Moist Irish Soda Bread Recipe
4.5 6
I'm allergic to yeast, so I appreciate recipes for quick breads, biscuits and soda breads. This tender loaf that's dotted with golden raisins is great, It's one way I can enjoy toast for breakfast. —Carol Fritz of Fulton, Illinois
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 1-3/4 cups buttermilk
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add raisins. Stir in buttermilk just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; gently knead 6-8 times.
- Place on an ungreased baking sheet; pat into a 7-in. round loaf. Using a sharp knife, cut a 1-in. cross about 1/4 in. deep on top of the loaf. Bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices).

Design and build: thorough but perfectible
The ERAZER X6811 design takes us back to the look seen on entry level models in early 2010. Here it's black or grey plastic all over. At least it's mainly matte, which means it's not too much of a magnet for fingermarks. Only the glossy black screen surround needs special care.
There are however a few problems when it comes to the finish on this machine. When you press down on the shell, pretty much anywhere, the keyboard or the side of the panel sinks in. It's a shame that the outer casing doesn't do justice to the internal components. The only part which does look a bit better is the hood, in black plastic, thanks to its false brushed aluminium look.
The keyboard offers comfortable and quiet keying. Most keys are well proportioned and in their usual place. Its instinctive keying will be appreciated by those who do a lot of word processing or spend time on forums or chats. Note however that the 'Enter' key could easily have been a bit bigger. As things stand, you might confuse it with the 'Shift' key when touch typing.
The touchpad is precise, but the slightly rough coating isn't very nice to the touch. It's also very small when you look at the available area on the palm rest. It's a shame Medion didn't think a bit bigger here. 6 cm is too small when you have 39 cm to play with, especially when you've got a Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixel) screen and you've got to start over several times to get the cursor all the way across it.
The webcam is just about okay. There's a lack of fluidity and the blacks lack all nuance but the image is sharp. We've seen better but it'll be okay as a fallback. For daily use however, best to get an external webcam.
Connectivity covers all the bases. On the left there are two USB 3.0 ins, an SD card reader, a USB 2.0 port and an ExpressCard port - which allows you to add peripherals such as a wi-fi card, USB ports, a card reader and so on. On the right, there's a DVD reader/rewriter, a USB 2.0 port and the audio connectivity (headphones socket, S/PDIF out, audio in, mic socket). Like the power socket, the video outs (VGA and HDMI), the RJ45 and the eSata ports aren't on the side but at the back.
The fan is pretty efficient but not the quietest. Even when you're just on the Windows desktop, doing nothing, it can be heard. Don't go for the X6811 if you're going to be using it in a quiet environment. Even when in heavy load situations however, the temperature doesn't get beyond 36 °C :

Underneath, a panel gives access to the RAM and the HDD. They can therefore be replaced without too much difficulty. Don't go sticking your mitts in there unless you have at least some know-how however.

Processor power: excellent performance
With a quad core Intel Core i7-740QM, the X6811 offers excellent performance. It scores 149 on our index! This can be compared to 100 for our reference machine, the Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xi3650 (equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo T9400). This computer is therefore as much at ease with multimedia usage (photo, video and gaming) as with office documents and Internet.
You can play HD 1080p (Blu-ray equivalent) no problem on this machine. The core i7 will handle it no sweat. We do nevertheless advise you to use the video decoding capacities of the NVIDIA GTX 460M graphics card. For that, you'll just need software that supports the graphics card hardware decoding. This is the case with Power DVD 9 or Media Player Classic HC for example or VLC (recent versions). The processor is then totally freed up, which reduces energy consumption and makes it available for other tasks.
Windows 7 Family Premium edition (64-bit) takes 1 minute 08 seconds to boot. It turns off in 14 seconds.
Gaming: excellent performance and a little bonus!
In addition to decoding HD video, the NVIDIA GTX 460M graphics card also offers excellent gaming performance. Recent video games are perfectly playable at high graphics settings. Even at 1920 x 1080 pixels, the native resolution here, only the most demanding titles, such as Crysis, require a slight adjustment of your settings.
Medion has also added two buttons for gamers beside the power on button. One of them turns off the blue diodes on the front and the other deactivates the Windows key. Thanks to this second button, you won't find yourself accidentally returning to the Windows desktop, which can cost you dear when gaming online. Having experienced this issue more than once, we would certainly be willing to pay a premium for this facility.

More than 150 people from across the U.P. are toughing it out in the U.P. Northwoods Triathlon including an entire family, all participating in separate divisions.
"My daughter and her husband will be doing the race; he's an Ironman competitor. My daughter, this will be her first solo race. She's doing sprint race, and her two daughters are going to do the youth event," said Michael Fornetti, racer.
They're hoping it turns into a family tradition. For some, it's their first time doing a triathlon.
"I was a runner for a long time, but I like the variety of triathlons. My husband's been a triathlete for fifteen years. Now that my daughters are older, they are getting into it, too, so I see us doing it a lot in the future," said Willa Fornetti-Belle, racer.
Competitors took off in waves of ten starting with a 1500 meter swim. Participants competed in either the Olympic, Sprint or Youth division with the Olympic as the longest distance. After the swim, racers transitioned to their bikes for the next leg of the race.
"Well, the bike course was fairly hilly which probably played to my advantage, but it was a very good course. Good volunteers and good effort," said Jeff Juntti, Best Overall Male.
The race gets more exciting when the racers are almost done, coming in from the bike race. They change and head off for the last part the 10k run to the finish.
"Watching people finish with tears in their eyes because they're so excited that they've accomplished such a huge goal in their life...it's really inspiring for me to just watch that," said Aimee Tatanglo, coordinator.

Just because you don't know how to use them doesn't mean the stats should be bumped up. If they are it'll become OP. Learn to use them and you won't have a problem. If they get a buff the players who are already good with them will be completely unstoppable.
DeltaJuliet2188/8/2014 6:15:35 AM PermalinkOne of my hobbies is marksmanship. I use the 1911 as my main platform. I like the increase mobility you get from a smaller weapon. And with the .45 calliber round you're protecting yourself at closer to mid-range fairly well. The .45 cal round has power, but it has disadvantages. So in shooters I enjoy using the pistols for that very reason. It's a challenge. And of course you don't bring a hand cannon into PvP. Rifle's are a far more stable platform in general. They have their disadvantages as well, but in all reality, the rifle is the better choice for overall protection, at just about every distance. So for me in the beta I used the auto-rifles in crucible (it was the only way I had a chance), pulse-rifles in story and the handcannon in explore (because it's awesome to explore with a hand cannon).. Handscannons belong in this game. They are awesome, but you're at a disadvantage in PVP. But who cares if we suck at them in the crucible? You respawn in a few seconds, go have fun. Great post..
Kobi 1 ShinobiEdited by Kobi 1 Shinobi: 8/7/2014 10:30:39 PM PermalinkOkay - there are many post about hand cannons being under powered, and im sick of idiots comenting "they take skill to use" well so does a combat knife - its still inferior no matter how 'skilled' you are. the reason Hand Cannons are inferior is because they are beat on every occasion by other weapons. Now, if Hand Cannons had been designed as a back up weapon then they would be of use - but they are not designed to be a back up, there a PRIMARY weapon. I dont know about you guys - but the last gun on earth i would like to be shot with is a .44 Hand Cannon. I do think hand cannons will be better in PvE when we see higher level enemies with penalties (high impact weapons doing damage through sheilds) But in PVP (or atleased balanced PVP) there is no 'Logical reason' to chose a Hand cannon - unless your cannon fodder. Juat Saying !!!
Hostile AKs8/8/2014 3:09:29 AM PermalinkI like it I felt like a cowboy and its on the hip. Super cool looking. I think the perks will make it better at higher levels.
Black Shuck8/7/2014 6:41:23 PM PermalinkPeople seem to be stopping at the math about 1/3 done. They just look at theoretical DPS without ever applying it to the actual game. Hand Cannons Suck if every enemy in the game was a level 2 Dreg, with low HP, No Armor and You could hit every shot you fired to their head and got a 1to1 shot/kill ratio. Actual DPS applies scaleing health, variable damage bonuses(some enemies only take 1.5 headshot damage), shields, missing your shot, landing a body shot, armor/defense, overkill damage, focus and gear bonuses.
JesusOfSuburbia8/7/2014 11:53:42 PM PermalinkThey are on par in most stats to a scout rifle, just inferior in shots, ammo, fire rate, and range. That's not a good thing. I expect them to dominate PvE and Iron Banner pretty well, but in straight PvP, they weren't good enough.
Vickers8/7/2014 11:32:06 PM Permalink[quote]If they get a buff the players who are already good with them will be completely unstoppable.[/quote] Never once saw a player use a hand cannon in any pvp match. And I played a lot of pvp. That tells me a lot about hand cannons.
BecomeLegend8/7/2014 10:27:19 PM PermalinkI'm a great player and I know many other as well...these things are the worst weapons and need moved to secondary
Matured Manager8/7/2014 5:18:11 AM PermalinkThe Red hand cannon looks sweet. Do hand cannons come with elermental dammage?
RockoEdited by Rocko : 8/7/2014 9:15:54 AM Permalinknope they are not (to explain why i think that way, i copypasta my post from another thread about them into here): i hate it when dev's think that it's ok to make Sci-Fi sidearms less powerful than Sci-Fi rifles - especially if they come as penalty-free choice for the same weapon-slot, using slot-binded ammo like in Destiny! but nope, the dev's seem to have thought "because it's the smaller gun, it would be totally obvious that one would have to sacrifice in every single aspect one could think of for this choice". that sucks! all they accomplished with that was nerfing style-diversity, as there isn't a single technical reason to put that thing into the primary slot over the scout-rifles, which either even - but mostly just surpass the hand-cannons in every single aspect! so, it's not that the hand-cannons would be necessarily bad or anything, it's just that during the beta they had literally no reason to exist other than to make you sacrifice strength in every single aspect of a gun for your enforcement of style diversity in your inventory through that choice - which is very, very bad and has to change, especially as there was only this one not "large boomstick" choice for all of the three slots combined during the beta!
Chibadiba8/7/2014 6:01:56 PM PermalinkHand cannons are a really good weapon if you know how to use it right.
vIRL NightmareEdited by vIRL Nightmare: 8/7/2014 4:28:34 PM PermalinkThey are perfectly fine, they also serve the exact same roll with the exact same damage per shot, with lower fire rate, lesser range, and fewer shots than the scout rifle. Hence the problem. I had no difficulties using the hand cannon at all, it is just vastly inferior to the scout rifle.
JesusOfSuburbia8/7/2014 5:39:09 AM PermalinkI expect them to be great for PvE and Iron Banner, but they just didn't feel good enough in the balanced playlists.
Durins BeardEdited by Durins Beard: 8/7/2014 3:40:46 AM PermalinkIf a skilled person [i]learns[/i] how to use a hand cannon, that same person would get destroyed by another skilled person who also [i]learns[/i] how to use an auto rifle. Hand cannon allows for zero mistakes when facing nearly any opponent, while auto rifle can spray a little here and there and still get the kill. Hand cannons really suck, I used one during the beta and I could only get kills if I snuck up behind a guy, or just used my special/super/heavy I'm just talking PVP, Hand cannon wrecked during strikes as most enemies were 1-3 shot kills.
BLOODWOLFS FANG8/7/2014 3:26:36 AM PermalinkI ran numerous strikes during the Beta using a hand cannon, and led with kills and such almost every time. it's more or less just who's holding the cannon.
Dirtyvillan8/7/2014 3:37:49 AM PermalinkThey deserve a better crit modifier. Less bullets than a scout which is the only comparison in the main weapon class and requires more skill at range to get headshots. Follow up shots require more skill and then every 6rounds your reloading. Time=valuable dps. Not much of a boost to crits but maybe an extra .5%
OneLove8/7/2014 2:57:04 AM PermalinkI agree that, in the beta, hand cannons were pretty much outclassed by scout rifles across the board. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a blast to use. :)
GodchildEdited by Godchild: 8/7/2014 3:13:23 AM PermalinkI really didn't approve of the reload speed and ammo for hand cannons. Certain boss fights like the spider tank I went though ammo way to quick and even used most of my secondary ammo before the reinforcements would show up some fights. Up the reload speed or the amount of ammo it carries and I think it will be a much better weapon.
CrazypugEdited by Crazypug: 8/6/2014 8:29:38 PM PermalinkIts SUPPOSE to be a weapon that takes skill and accuracy to use but packs a punch
Ian Mackay8/7/2014 3:03:50 AM PermalinkIt's fine in Pve... Pvp is where real problems start... With 6 bullets in a chamber multikills become difficult even for skilled players. If given the choice... I would go with a scout.
NZLLamby8/7/2014 1:36:15 AM PermalinkIt does equal damage to a scout rifle, with lower fire rate, less range, a shit scope and a massive reload speed. Not a good choice
Votable8/6/2014 9:49:52 PM PermalinkI don't like that it's about (for example) 35 damage per shot with 6 bullets max. While a auto,pulse,scout rifle with the same damage out fire it in terms of rate of fire. No idea what "impact" is but know hand cannons high impact

In case you missed it, the IHSA Board of Directors back in May voted to institute changes to Policy 13, which in short established new, details rules and regulations for preseason practices.
From the elimination of "double session" practices to controlling the overall length of practices to what can and can't be done on any specific day, the new rules certain add some bite to what was a very vague policy.
So how has the response been so far? From coaches to players alike, the new rule changes have had a mixed response, at best.
[POWER RANKINGS: Top 25 preseason]
On Sunday at the annual WJOL AM 1340 Preseason Coaches Show in Joliet, over 20 Joliet area head coaches gathered spoke about the new changes, the topic of the day.
Wilmington head coach Jeff Reents, who will enter his 20th season as the Wildcats head coach in 2013 has already felt the effect of the new rules.
"We usually had a scrimmage on the Saturday before the season but we didn't do that this year. We only had a limited amount of time to work in pads and we felt that getting another full practice in was more important than the scrimmage."
John Jackson, head coach at Plainfield Central since 1997 is concerned about his team being in "hitting" shape.
"You just wonder with the limited time in pads this year just how in "football" shape the kids are when it comes to contact. Our kids and everyone else's kids condition year round. Yet you can only get into real football shape once you get the pads on and start real contact."
[MORE: Accountability drives Stevenson success]
Other coaches also talked about the new focus on the entire concussion issue and if limited teaching time, especially at the lower levels is the best way to combat the entire safety issue.
"All we keep gearing about is safety and teaching kids to proper way to tackle and to continue to stress proper techniques," said one coach not wanting to go on the record. "Yet they (IHSA) cut the amount of time we can spend on the field? I really worry about that especially on the lower levels. How can we teach kids properly? We spend a large majority of our week camp in the summer in pads on technique, but without being able to instill that it really doesn't make sense."
Others feel that the early season games could potentially be even more sloppy than in the past.
'If you think the opening games of the past were sloppy, just wait," said another area coach. "You might see some of the sloppiest games in a long, long time this year. It's not a question of if your team is ready. You just better do the best you can and hope your kids are ready now and I don't like that feeling at all."
Yet others felt no impact from the new rules changes whatsoever. Why? A large majority of the Joliet area schools either started the first day of classes on the same day as the first day of practice or within a day or two of the start of football practices.
The players response so far? I've spoke to several players on the subject, and the response has been the same.
[8A Preview: Can Mt. Carmel win back-to-back?]
"Practices have been easier. It just doesn't feel as harder or as tougher than before."
One thing is certain. Look for the trend of more safety precautions and procedures to follow down the near term road. Whether they have the desired effect is yet to be seen. Yet the IHSA along with the coaches are trying to be proactive and taking what they feel are positive steps towards making the sport of football safer.
And who can argue against safety?

United States Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (Agency) and National Air Traffic Controllers Association (Union)
63 FLRA No. 180
August 14, 2009
Before the Authority: Carol Waller Pope, Chairman and
Thomas M. Beck, Member
I. Statement of the Case
This matter is before the Authority on exceptions to an award of Arbitrator Craig E. Overton filed by the Agency under § 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (Statute) and part 2425 of the Authority's Regulations. The Union filed an opposition to the Agency's exceptions.
The Arbitrator concluded that the Agency violated the parties' collective bargaining agreement when it ceased guaranteeing 2 hours of work to all employees who are held over their scheduled Saturday night shift. To remedy the violation, the Arbitrator awarded affected employees backpay. For the reasons that follow, we deny the Agency's exceptions.
II. Background and Arbitrator's Award
Article 38, Section 9 of the parties' collective bargaining agreement provides: "When an employee is . . . held over past his/her regularly assigned shift, he/she shall be guaranteed two (2) hours of work." Award at 22 (quoting agreement). In accordance with this provision, air traffic controllers at the Agency's Bradley facility working the Saturday night shift who were held over the end of their shift to brief the controllers working the Sunday morning shift "w[ere] given the opportunity to be guaranteed
two (2) hours of work." Id. at 4. By memorandum, the facilities' air traffic manager replaced this practice with a practice of "paying overtime in 'one minute increments covering the actual time beyond 8 hours an employee works to accomplish the relief and sign out for the shift[.]" Id. As a result of this change, grievances were filed and submitted to arbitration.
Before the Arbitrator, the Union asserted that the Agency's change violated Article 38, Section 9. As a remedy, the Union requested that the Arbitrator order under the Back Pay Act that the Agency "restore all pay to employees who were denied the guaranteed two hours of work[.]" Id. at 18. The Agency argued that the decision in Aviles v. United States, 151 Ct. Cl. 1 (1960) (Aviles), compelled the Arbitrator to interpret Article 38, Section 9 so that "the entitlement to the guaranteed two (2) hours of work is not triggered" by the Sunday morning briefings. Id. at 26. Alternatively, the Agency argued that backpay is not appropriate under the Back Pay Act "[b]ecause the Arbitrator is not able to accurately determine which employees would have taken the opportunity to work the two hours of overtime and determine those employees who would not have taken the opportunity[.]" Id. at 32.
The Arbitrator determined that Article 38, Section 9 is clear "that when a Controller is held over past his/her regularly assigned shift, he/she shall be guaranteed
two (2) hours of work." Id. at 35. Consequently, the Arbitrator concluded that "the Agency violated the Collective Bargaining Agreement when it determined that it would cease the compensation of a guaranteed two (2) hours of work to all employees who are held over past the end of their scheduled shift on Saturday nights at 12:00 p.m." Id. at 37 (citation omitted). As a remedy, the Arbitrator ordered the Agency to "make all of these employees whole by properly compensating said employees for the hours of work they should have been allowed to work" but for the violation of the agreement. Id. at 38.
III. Positions of the Parties
A. Agency's Exceptions
The Agency contends that the award is contrary to law because the Arbitrator failed to follow the decision in Aviles. Exceptions at 5. The Agency asserts that, under Aviles, the overtime necessary to perform the briefings is part of the employees' regularly assigned shift. Id. at 12. The Agency further asserts that, if the briefings are part of the employees' regularly assigned shift, then "there [would] be no violation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement." Id. at 13. Consequently, the Agency claims that, "as a matter of law," the Arbitrator should have denied the grievance. Id.
Alternatively, the Agency contends that the remedy of backpay is deficient. The Agency first argues that the award "is based on equitable principles rather than under the statutory authority of the Back Pay Act[.]" Id. The Agency maintains, in this regard, that "the Arbitrator does not make a finding of the statutory basis to order the [a]ward." Id. at 14. The Agency claims that, "[w]ithout a finding of a statutory basis for the [a]ward,
. . . the [a]ward is contrary to [l]aw[.]" Id.
The Agency next argues that, if the backpay is based on the Back Pay Act, then the award of backpay is contrary to the Back Pay Act because the unwarranted action "did not result in a direct loss of pay, allowances, or differentials." Id. at 15. The Agency maintains that the award is not based on a violation of Article 38, Section 9, but rather a violation of the established practice where "employees held over to complete position relief briefings would be given the opportunity to work up [to] two (2) hours of overtime[.]" Id. at 16. The Agency claims that, under this practice, "whether the employee remains for the entire two (2) hours is at the [employee's] discretion." Id. at 17. Consequently, the Agency argues that the result of the unwarranted action on employees "is the loss of the opportunity to work two (2) hours of overtime." Id. Accordingly, the Agency contends that there is no finding or evidence of "the required connection between the opportunity to work an additional two (2) hours and a direct loss of pay, allowances, or differentials." Id. at 19.
B. Union's Opposition
The Union contends that the decision in Aviles provides no basis for finding the award deficient because the decision is "inapplicable[.]" Opposition at 5. The Union further contends that the award of backpay was properly based on the Back Pay Act, and not equitable principles. Id. at 6-7. In this regard, the Union also argues that the Arbitrator specifically found a violation of Article 38, Section 9 and that there is a clear connection between the violation of Article 38, Section 9 and the employees' loss of pay because the employees have no choice but to work overtime. Id. at 8-9.
IV. Analysis and Conclusions
A. The award is not contrary to law.
The Agency contends on the basis of Aviles that the Arbitrator was compelled, as a matter of law, to find no violation of Article 38, Section 9 and to deny the grievance. We review questions of law raised by exceptions to an arbitrator's award de novo. E.g., NFFE Local 1437, 53 FLRA 1703, 1709 (1998). In applying a standard of de novo review, we determine whether the arbitrator's legal conclusions are consistent with the applicable standard of law. Id. at 1710.
In Aviles, meat inspectors claimed night differential pay under the Federal Employees Pay Act, as amended, (FEPA) for overtime they were customarily required to work between the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. Aviles, 151 Ct. Cl. at 3. The court noted that FEPA directs differential payment for all regularly scheduled hours, including overtime, between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. The court held that omitting regular overtime from scheduled tours of duty does not make that overtime occasional or irregular. Accordingly, the court concluded that the overtime worked by the inspectors was part of their regularly scheduled tours of duty and that they were entitled to recover the claimed night differential pay. Id. at 9, 20. The Agency fails to establish that this decision compelled, as a matter of law, the Arbitrator to interpret Article 38, Section 9 to find that the shift briefings were regularly scheduled overtime and did not trigger the contractual guarantee of 2 hours of overtime work. Instead, the issue of whether Aviles provided support for the Agency's asserted interpretation of Article 38, Section 9 is a question of contract interpretation and whether the award draws its essence from the agreement, and not a question of law. We note that the Agency does not contend that the award fails to draw its essence from the agreement.
Accordingly, we deny this exception.
B. The award of backpay is not deficient.
The Agency argues that the award of backpay is deficient because it is based on equitable principles ra

Tigers Tie Playoff Series With Yankees; Cardinals, Brewers Win
The Detroit Tigers return home after a 5-3 victory against the New York Yankees that tied their Major League Baseball playoff series at one game apiece.
Miguel Cabrera hit a home run and drove in three runs, Max Scherzer allowed two hits in six scoreless innings and the Tigers withstood a ninth-inning rally yesterday at Yankee Stadium in New York.
"It feels good to get a win," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said after his team ended the Yankees' record seven-game American League Division Series winning streak. "It's not easy to do what we did. The guys zeroed in pretty good. I'm awful proud of them."
The St. Louis Cardinals evened their National League Division Series with the Phillies, erasing a 4-0 deficit in a 5-4 win last night in Philadelphia. The Milwaukee Brewers hold a 2-0 lead in a postseason series for the first time in their history after beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-4 to move within a win of the NL Championship Series.
All first-round playoff series are best-of-five.
The Tigers host the Yankees today at Comerica Park in Detroit, where both teams will go with their No. 1 pitchers for Game 3. CC Sabathia starts for the Yankees against Detroit's Justin Verlander, who led the AL with 24 wins.
Sabathia, who was second in the league with 19 wins, threw two innings three days ago before rain postponed Game 1. Verlander pitched one inning in that game, throwing 27 pitches.
"They're all big games at this point in the season," said Sabathia, who has an 0-3 record with a 6.00 earned run average in three starts for the Yankees in Detroit. "I'll try to go out and get off to a good start, pound the strike zone and hopefully pitch well."
Rays Host Rangers
The Tampa Bay Rays host the Texas Rangers today in Game 3 of their AL first-round series, which is tied 1-1. The two NL series resume tomorrow in St. Louis and Phoenix.
The Tigers, sparked by Cabrera's two-run first-inning home run, opened a 4-0 lead in New York and then held on for the victory. The AL East-champion Yankees, who were second in the majors in runs scored during the regular season, didn't get a hit off Scherzer until Robinson Cano's one-out single in the bottom of the sixth.
After solo home runs by Curtis Granderson in the eighth inning and Nick Swisher in the ninth, the Yankees pulled within 5-3 as Jorge Posada tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly against Jose Valverde.
With a steady rain falling, the Yankees brought the winning run to the plate before Valverde, the Tigers' closer, retired Cano to seal the victory. Cano had driven in six runs during the Yankees' 9-3 win in Game 1.
The next two games will be played in Detroit and a decisive fifth game, if necessary, would be in New York. The Yankees said pitcher A.J. Burnett will start Game 4 on Oct. 4 against Detroit's Rick Porcello.
Best of Three
"It's a best-of-three now," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
The Cardinals recovered in Philadelphia last night as six relievers combined for six shutout innings after starting pitcher Chris Carpenter allowed four runs.
St. Louis scored three runs off Cliff Lee in the fourth inning and tied it in the sixth as John Jay delivered his second run-scoring single of the game. In the seventh, Allen Craig led off with a triple and scored on the single by Albert Pujols.
"To come back after Carpenter got in a little trouble in the first inning was so good," Pujols said in a televised interview. "Now we'll have the fans at our back and hopefully we can continue to play like this."
The Cardinals host the next two games, with Game 3 scheduled for tomorrow and Game 4 the following day.
The Brewers scored five runs in the sixth inning yesterday to snap a 4-4 tie at Miller Park in Milwaukee.
The Brewers scored the go-ahead run on a throwing error by Diamondbacks reliever Brad Ziegler. Corey Hart, Nyjer Morgan and Ryan Braun followed with run-scoring singles for the NL Central-champion Brewers. Morgan's hit drove in two runs.
"The Brewers have played well. You've got to give them credit at this point," said Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson, whose team hosts Game 3 tomorrow and possibly Game 4 with a win. "We have been resilient all year, and we expect to come back and play well in our arena."

Ben Affleck, like most Hollywood stars, thinks that magazine covers really matter. Last week, he was criticizing the TARP bill to a reporter for Politico and said that Newsweek, I feel like, is basically culpable for the first [$350 billion], referring to the weekly's King Henry cover about Henry Paulson, which he called a hagiography as well as presumptuous. I was surprised, says the story's author, Daniel Gross, who is, he noted, a fan of Good Will Hunting. We called [Paulson] King Henry because, at that moment, he was the absolute monarch of the financial system, he says. He was the one deciding who should live and who should die. And in September, it seemed like Paulson was making the right decisions. Everyone forgets this, but when it happened, people thought it was a great idea to let Lehman Brothers fail. Paulson's bungled handling of the TARP happened later. Besides, would that a Newsweek cover story mattered so much that it could sway policy and move markets, says Gross. It's like blaming Gigli for Hollywood's problems with DVD residuals.
Affleck vs. Newsweek'
Moral TARPitude.

U.S. EPA, AND CDC. Comparison of Ultrafiltration Techniques for Recovering Biothreat Agents in Water. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/600/R-11/103, 2011.
Intentional contamination of drinking water supplies is a concern for water utilities and federal, state, and local agencies tasked with protecting human health and the environment. Because relatively low levels of biothreat agents can cause human health effects, sensitive detection of these agents in drinking water is needed. Most rapid response analytical techniques assay small sample volumes or require high concentrations of analytes; therefore, to enable sensitive detection of biothreat agents large volumes of water should be collected and concentrated. Alternative large-volume water sampling techniques have been published for viruses , bacteria, and parasites, but the effectiveness of these methods are generally optimized for particular microbes types. However, in the event of a biological attack on a drinking water system, the biothreat agent may not be known with certainty and deployment of multiple sampling techniques would be a logistical challenge and resource intensive. For this reason, the U.S. EPA and U.S. CDC have worked together to investigate methods to enable rapid and sensitive analysis of water samples for diverse, unidentified biothreat agents. This is the final report for the EPA and CDC Biological Sample Preparation Collaboration Project to compare EPA and CDC ultrafiltration techniques for recovering biothreat agents in water.

Brentwood is a city in South East England with a population of over 77,000. Notable for being a well-off suburban town, the centre is expanding with retailers to accommodate an equally growing residential population. Over 50% of Brentwood's Chamber of Commerce's members are retailers of services and goods and top employers in the area include some large high street chains, indicating that this is a growing sector.
Professional and technical industries employ nearly 48% of the workforce of Brentwood, which is significantly more than the national average. Brentwood Council employs 300 people in this field. Brentwood Community Hospital is a strong local jobs provider. Other employers falling into this category are financial service providers like Swift Group Bank, reflecting on the area's affluence. With over 6,900 people employed in the leisure and sales and customer service industries, businesses like Orbit Housing Association operate from Warley Hill Business Park. Ford Motor Vehicles UK headquarters reside in Warley, and Amstrad's head office is also located in Brentwood, between them employing thousands of staff. 11% of Brentwood's employed work in the skilled trade professions.
Brentwood has a history of manufacturing, with the head office for Thermos previously based here, but has evolved to a workforce employed in more office-based roles. Recruitment agencies list roles in these fields, with many based in the town centre, where financial giants Equity Insurance Group and Brents Insurance exist. The unemployment rate in Brentwood was 4.9% in 2012, and the weekly median income was £661.40. 27% of the population have NVQ4 and above.

This is such a weird product. For reference, I have oily combo skin with some flaking. I applied this over my Tarteguard spf 30 with a small duo fiber brush from MAC (can't remember the number) and I didn't have any appliction problems. The coverage was light-medium and I needed some concealer for a couple active pimples and a few really dicoloured scars. Otherwise, it covered redness and faint scars pretty well.
The finish... this is the weird part. It was SO shiny! My skin felt tight, but not dry and a bit tacky to the touch, even though it didn't transfer. It actually looked and felt like I smeared a fine layer of tinted Elmer's glue on my face (yes- I've totally done that back in grade school). I quite liked it, to be honest. The foundation lasted about 8 hours before my natural oils started to break it up, which is super long for me. And it didn't break me out, YAY!
I think I'm going to use up the bottle, although I wont repurchase because it really has a lot of nasty ingredients (parabens, alcohol, etc.), and nothing beneficial to the skin (no antioxidants or vitamin e). I figure if I'm rubbing something on my face everyday, it might as well have some healthy nutrients.

Highly recommend for dry skin. Ppl those who have dry skin just go for it, I have used so many brands but this product is just wowsome. Need not search for any other product just buy this one. You will use it for your lifetime

Oil, oil, oil everywhere. I tried this foundation in a makeup demonstration and I had to take it off when I arrived home.
I was a mess, full of oil. If you have oily/acne-prone skin do NOT buy this foundation.

Love it, just want to add to the chorus of praise for this foundation, I use shade N1 and it's perfect for my colouring, not too yellow which can look odd when you're pale with blue undertones. It's all about the finish and the finished look is just beautifully natural.
The best and only compliment i've ever had on my skin was while wearing this foundation, that puts it in the big HG category. Top notch.

I paid a visit to the MAC shop since I always hear great stuff about their products. I have a very difficult skin when it comes to finding a good foundation or basically good skincare in general. Why? It's not only very dry but also extremely sensitive. Eczema and allergy are the rule, rather than the exception.
I asked one of the shop assistants for advice and she recommended me the MAC Face and Body Foundation. She applied it and although it looked natural and didn't accentuate my dryness (I hadn't even put on my moisturizer), I quickly started to feel irritation on my skin: first a stingy sensation, and the feeling of being flushed. When I got home, I immediately removed the makeup and in an attempt to prevent it from getting worse -like, getting a rash-, I took an allergy pill and applied an eczema ointment. I couldn't prevent a rash from coming, but luckily it disappeared very quickly (probably because of the "precautions" I have taken).
Anyway: I think this foundation is a good choice for dry to very dry skin, but if you (also) have sensitive skin that doesn't need much to get irritated: watch out!

I'll try and keep this short & sweet not to repeat too much of what many said :
For some weird reason, I keep trying the latest high-end "perfect foundation", when in fact I found *the* perfect foundation years ago.
Face & Body as others said perfects the face while no one sees I have make-up on. It gives a slightly glowy very natural look. If warmed up on the back of the hand (I "tap" the fluid with one finger for about half a minute to make it sticky) it also gives good coverage. Always work it in with the hands. The colour is quite forgiving and seems to adapt to one's own tone.
I have three colours at home and mix c2 and c4, when I am very tan I mix a tiny drop of #7 in there (olive medium skintone).
It lasts - I use little to no powder since powder can look chalky on my drier than normal skin.
I keep coming back to this one - the best!

This foundation used to be like $20 for a huge bottle. Now its $32 for a tiny 50 ml bottle. Are you joking? On top of that, they've gotten rid of all the deep shades :| .....
This is the go to foundation for those that have dry skin, or blemish free good skin that want that nice dewy glamorous look.
I can't lie, the foundation is very pretty. it's also very sheer which I like because I'm not a foundation wearer and don't like anything that has heavy coverage. It has a very watery runny consistency so you really need to right brush to apply it (I find its best applied with my hands). Especially when combined with a great concealer, It will give your face a beautiful sheer glow.
I don't use this foundation because they got rid of the one in my color (the one I have is too dark and the wrong undertone) and also because its too glamorous for everyday wear (for me anyway). Also, this foundation needs to be set or that dewy glow will quickly turn into an oily mess! It looks terrible after only a few hours if you don't set it.
This foundation is for a very selective skin type. If you have skin issues, textured skin, acne, or oily skin, just stay away. It is apparently buildable and you can work with it in different ways but you're just not going to get the most out of this foundation if you don't belong to the skin group it caters to. There are other foundations out there that can give you the same radiant glow without all the mess. It can also definitely break you out too (which it did to me the first two times I wore it) so be careful.
This foundation is nice if you have the skin for it and/or like a very sheer coverage foundation. However, with the ridiculous price tag and the lack of shade range you can definitely find much better options that are more suitable to a wide range of skin colors and types. Cheers!

Reviews I found on here turned me on to MUFE Face and Body foundation, which I LOVE. I decided to revisit MAC Face and Body since this was my first ever foundation, and its supposed to be very similar to MUFE F&B.
- Water based and therefore super forgiving on dry skin types
- Sheer, buildable coverage
- Learning curve to application: fingers are absolutely the best tool. I work in sections and rub the product in small circles--this helps increase the coverage I've found. The texture goes from runny to strangely tacky. I wait a few minutes before adding a second layer.
- Super long lasting. These both wear for ever and ever on me.
- MAC is a bit thicker (but still quite liquidy compared to traditional foundations)
- MAC has better coverage (still buildable-sheer, but it builds faster than MUFE)
- Different smells: MUFE smells like plastic roses, MAC straight up smells like plastic.
- MAC has a glossier, more wet finish than MUFE. I absolutely have to powder this to avoid looking like I just got out of the shower.
- I can sometimes see foundation on my skin when I use MAC F&B (whereas MUFE is undetectable no matter how many layers I use). I attribute this to the slightly better coverage of MAC.
- Color matching: MAC's numbering system is a lot more intuitive than MUFE, which makes absolutely zero sense. I think MUFE is trickier to find a match for this reason, but it also offers a greater variety of undertones: strongly pink, neutral, strongly yellow, golden/peach. MUFE doesn't offer a very fair yellow-toned option, so that's what brought me to MAC.
- MAC is cheaper.
- Packaging: MUFE you get a hefty glass bottle and a pump. MAC you get a utilitarian plastic squeeze bottle with nozzle tip. MAC is more travel and accident friendly. It's easier to see how much foundation you have left with MUFE.
