Legislators write to support Israel
Nearly half the members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly have signed a letter pledging support to Israel in the conflict in Gaza.
Ninety-nine of the 203 state representatives and 27 of 50 senators put their names on the letter to Ron Dermer, Israel's ambassador to the United States.
Signatories include House Republican leader Mike Turzai, Senate Democratic leader Jay Costa and Senate President Pro Tem Joe Scarnati.
The letter states, in part:
The nation of Israel has on numerous occassions initiated peace overtures with its leading protagonist, the Hamas/Palestine government, unfortunately, to no avail. To protect itself from the unwarranted missile attacks by the Hamas/Palestine government, in recent days, Israel has no choice but to defend itself by moving its ground forces into the Gaza Strip.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Great quality
5 people found the following review helpful
Posted by jr-fire on Apr 21, 2014
I love chicory - to me, it tastes better than most coffee (though I love coffee, too:) I drink coffee because I like the flavour and since I like chicory root, that makes it better than coffee - I can drink 4 or 5 cups a day and suffer no caffeine-induced ill effects. This is the roasted herb, very good quality, but be prepared to use either a fine tea strainer or some other FINE filter. Coffee filter got clogged the one time I tried it and anyway it seems like a waste of paper :) I use my french press to prepare it and I like one full teaspoon per 300-400 ml of water (too strong a flavour otherwise).

This is a good coffee substitute, but you have to remember it has a pretty strong bitter taste. So I put half of my regular amount as I did for coffee. Also, it looks like instant drink, but it doesn't dissolves completely in your cup. I grind needed portion in my coffee grinder and it works much better. At least you don't have to take out lumps, drifting in your drink, its all on the bottom. One more thing. If you want to soften bitter taste of the drink I strongly recommend to add creamer and/or sugar or healthy sweetener , like stevia.

My first order from iHerb was most satisfactory. The roasted chickory is exactly the same product and source I previously purchased from the local co-op, which no longer has it available. The price is much better than I expected by having ordered 3 pounds, for chickory will not go stale. This is a great additive with coffee. Delivery was rapid. Thanks iHerb.com.
Can't go wrong with chicory.

Makes such a difference to coffee, can't imagine coffee without it.

I purchased template from Template Monster #40548. I am looking for a good (but inexpensive) shopping cart that will integrate with this template and also has affiliate and coupon capabilities?
We are currently using miiduu.com as our shopping cart, but I don't like that the format isn't the same as the rest of our site and the prospect has to leave the site to go to it [obscured] to order.
I want a shopping cart that is integrated into our site, is part of the site, and looks like the site. Also, that besides purchasing products, it has an affiliate program and ability for people to use coupons when they order.
It would also be nice IF someone doesn't even need a website to be an affiliate. In other words, I could give them "something" that they could give to a friend of theirs who might want to purchase our products and that person could go to the site, use that "something" to order, and the person who referred them gets credit (just like being an affiliate).

I'll agree that the smartphone doesn't really "help" much at all with the business, other than being a phone. But, the weather radar and ability to see warnings and things is really helpful when you live in Kansas! I can track the rain and storms while I'm on the mower even. Having the smartphone is nice for tunes as well, better than an ipod because I can plug into pandora and use my ear plug headphones to make the days go by much easier.
I'm still hanging onto my blackberry as well. I just can't get into the touch screens, especially for us that usually have dirty hands. Plus they don't generally have belt clips and are much more fragile than the blackberrys.
Having live Doppler radar is a big plus for me both during the mowing and plowing seasons, but you don't need a smart phone for that.
to the guy who said how does a smart phone help run your business, I use an app called Invoice to Go and it has helped me tremendously. I can do the bill before I leave the job and email it to the customer. It only cost $10.00. You can also link it to QB.
I'm using a droid. Never had a blackberry or iphone.
NJ Lawnmasters, Inc.
@greenmonster do you use the lite or pro edition?
sure it nice to be able to check your email or know what the weather might do but in the end is not necessary.
like jason said in another post. weather app said it was gonna rain at 12 and it rained at 9 instead.
i never count on what the apps tell me and i never plan my days around what the apps or even the news or paper reports for weather. i look outside when i wake up. if it's not raining i go to work until it rains.
all you need a phone for is to make and take phone calls. checking email and weather can wait until your in the office. who really has time to do all that extra stuff anyway?
when i'm out working, i'm too busy to be checking emails, checking the weather all the time or doing anything else on the phone.
the only time the phone is touched is when the truck is parked and it rings or i need to return a call. it stays in the truck while i'm working and i don't touch it while i'm driving. and i usually like to get moving to the next job once i finish one so i don't want to be sitting in front of a property for 5+ min. after i've finished with it unless necessary.
personally i own and use an iphone. but i could certainly live without it and most of the apps i have are for personal use. even when i get an email from a client i don't usually read it or respond to it until i'm home for the evening. i only check the weather if they are predicting rain and thats just to see when they think it might hit. i still keep working though and i've never adjusted my schedule because they said it was going to rain at x time or y time.
I voted for my droid but to be honest I have never used a I phone and I would imagine that that's probably how most of the voting will go so I'm not sure of the accuracy of the poll.
I would also say that if you are a solo op your not really running a business you are doing your job that you own (old argument) if you have multiple crews and employees thing are a bit different. Also the type of client you service will have a large effect on how useful your smart phone will be. Here are some of the things I use mine for and to be honest I'm not very tech savvy.
I could go on and on but it comes back to the original point if your a solo op you probably don't deal with many of the things that companies with multiple crews/employees do. Yes many of the things I use my phone for can be done with paper but its not as fast.
I look for the best/fastest way to get things done. I tried a few tecno based products like qxpress and... drawing a blank here (similar green industry software) to complete our daily worksheets to streamline our billing system but in the end paper is still more accurate and faster so we went back to paper. I'm sure someday there will be a app or program that will allow me to scan in my customized worksheet and my guys will be able to fill it out on a net book or pad of some sort. It may be out there now, but until then we are back to paper.
I can't imagine running my business without smart phones. I could do it but it would be much more difficult.
If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.
Never owned a Droid, but I love my iPhone.
Using a decent radar app has helped me to realize on several occasions that my time WILL be better spent mowing on the other side of town where I WON'T be getting rained on. Yeah, my daily route may get shifted around, but I stay working...and dry.
When home, having WiFi in the house saves a lot of data expenditures if you're charged by the MB/KB...and it is a LOT faster than 3G. Fortunately, I'm grandfathered in with Unlimited Data @AT&T, but the speed of WiFi over 3G is worth the expenditure, IMO.

Great post.
NJ Lawnmasters, Inc.
personally i don't want to be sitting in that truck infront of a property not working any longer than i have to.
as soon as the blower is put on the trailer i like to get in the truck and get moving to the next job. sure i will take a phone call or 2 if i have too before i start moving but i don't want to be sitting there making up an invoice an emailing it to a client when i can do that in the evening after i'm home.
so while smart phones are nice and helpful i don't see them as a necessity.

100 Greatest Women, #86: The Forester Sisters
100 Greatest Women #86 The Forester Sisters In the wake of the massive success of mother-daughter duo The Judds, female family acts experienced something of a mini-boom in the mid-to-late eighties. The most successful of those that followed Wynonna and Naomi were The Forester Sisters, a quartet from Georgia with sweet harmonies and simple songs of love. The group found quick success after signing with Warner Bros. in 1984, having been discovered while performing at an Arts festival. Out of the box success was still a rarity in those days, but in the depressed post-Urban Cowboy era of country music, they found a receptive audience. Their self-titled debut album produced four hit singles, more than were usually even released from an album in those days. The first, "(That's What You Do) When You're in Love", stopped at #10, but their next three singles topped the charts, making them the first Read More

Alice Madness by JayAPayneWatch

Alice Liddell
how do you draw like that it is fantasic
забираю в коллекцию
Absolutely beautiful. I love the style!
Very nice job, I have to ask how did you do the lace for the trim under the dress ?
It's really making me happy to see that almost every piece of fanart for American McGee's Alice is very true to the style of both games. I like the lack of a visible outline here, it makes the piece feel more organic as a whole. The way you set the colors alongside each other to give this the look of a very detailed pastel piece is also a very nice touch. In fact the only real complaint I have is that I would like to see even more detail. Not on Alice, you hit the nail on the head in a manner almost accurate enough to ensure a lobotomy there. But the background, while it helps her stand out, is bland. Given the red background, I think it would've been even more awesome if you made the background reminiscent of the fleshy, gore-ridden final chambers of the Queen's castle. Not a necessity, but I think it would've been a nice touch. Never the less, this piece is still awesome as it is.
ty for the comment. i had a few ideas for the background and i may reup with something more snazy alice was fun to color, im glad you like how she turned out. happy new year
Awesome work here

T.I. Wears An Orioles Jersey In His New Music Video
The Baltimore Orioles have totally jumped the shark. Now that they've snapped their 15 season losing streak, they're getting all kinds of recognition. Rapper T.I. was even spotted wearing an Orioles jersey in his latest video, Ball.
I guess it's better than those hipsters from Twilight wearing O's gear.

Best Greasy Spoon (2005)
Dot Coffee Shop
Why are the best greasy spoons always by the airport? Open 24 hours, Dot is off I-45 just down from Hobby. At times, it seems like the entire restaurant and everything in it -- including the hardworking waitstaff -- is covered in a thin layer of grease. Everything comes in hefty portions, and daily specials include fried catfish and pot roast. The marquee advertises shakes, steaks and pancakes. The Houston omelet, which is stuffed with bacon, ham and pork sausage, is delicious. And anything you order is available topped with homemade chili. If Dot were a citywide chain, we'd all need a Lipitor dealer.

Review: The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort
By Dave Shute
(For the first page of this review of Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort, click here.)
Fort Wilderness opened in November 1971, just a month after Walt Disney World itself opened, and has been expanded and rehabbed multiple times since.
The entire Fort Wilderness resort comprises not only the campsites, but also cabins, group campgrounds, and shared resources—such as a beach, marina, dining areas, stores, stables, pools, boat docks for transport to the Magic Kingdom (and two other Disney Resorts—the Wilderness Lodge and the Contemporary Resort), etc.
At the Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort, according to Walt Disney World's website,
"you'll find family fun as big as the great outdoors. Nestled on 750 wooded acres of lush pine and cypress trees, the fully-equipped campsites let you camp out in comfort. Time seems to slow down while you wander the quiet trails, and roaming ducks, deer and rabbits add to the sense that you are far away from the bustle of modern civilization."
The 800 or so campsites occupy the bulk of the resort and are grouped in 20 loops, numbered 100 through 2000.
- Different areas of the campground have different amenities
- Fort Wilderness is sprawling and inconvenient to get around
- Some loops are optimized for particular types of gear, and
- There's other factors like pet friendliness and noise,
…picking the best loop for the specifics of your trip is a key decision.
I'll start with the different areas of the resort and then move on to loop types. For the areas of the resort, follow along on the map (click it to enlarge it).
Check-in is at the southern section of the resort. This area, called the Outpost, is circled ("ovalled"??) at the bottom left in purply-blue. Here you'll find trail rides and all park, water park, and Downtown Disney transport except to the Magic Kingdom (Magic Kingdom transport is via boats from the Settlement, at the far north end of the resort). Internal buses also stop here.
As you head into the resort, you'll pass the loops with cabins on your left. A quiet pool is in this area as well, open to all Fort Wilderness guests, not just those staying in cabins, but there's no camping loop it's particularly convenient to.
Ahead you'll find a four-way stop sign. Go left and you'll get to Creekside Meadow, the group camping area, circled in white. When full, Creekside Meadow can hold more than 160 happy, boisterous youth…a point we will return to.
If instead you go straight, you'll pass the Meadow area, circled in yellow on the map, where you'll find the main themed pool, a shop, bike rentals and boat rentals, the campfire program area, playgrounds, sports areas, and other amenities.
Keep heading north and you will run into the Settlement area, circled in red at the top of the map. Here you'll find docks for boat transport to the Magic Kingdom, and also to the Contemporary Resort and the Wilderness Lodge. Also here is a bus stop to the Wilderness Lodge, another shop, all dining except the offering at the main pool, a marina, pony rides, and other amenities.
Also worth noting is the location of the dog park, circled in brown on the top right.
Disney sells four different campsite types: Tent or Pop-Up, Full Hook-Up, Preferred, and Premium.
While all campsites allow one rig or tent, plus also a second tent (and can be booked for up to ten people) there are profound differences among the types, plus other points worth noting.
Some loops are optimized for tent camping and have small asphalt areas and large sand tent pads.
Disney used to call these "Partial Hook Up" sites, and is now more commonly calling them "Tent or Pop-Up Sites."
You can book them for tent camping or for a pop-up or camper van. The images are from the 1500 loop. Note that teeny tiny trailers are also permissible.
These sites all have a picnic table, charcoal grill, water and electricity, and internet access is available via a modem kit campers need to pick up (and put a deposit on). Tent campers also need to know some key stuff about gear and weather, which I cover later in this review.
There's two "Tent or Pop-Up" loops, 1500 and 2000. Neither allows pets. Loop 1500 is the better choice on almost any dimension, as it is closer to the Meadow area, while 2000 is not only a hike from any amenities, but is also right next to the sometimes-noisy Creekside Meadow group camping area.
Some loops have asphalt optimized for 45 foot big rigs and (essentially) no tent pads–loops 400-1400. These sites have longer and wider asphalt, and enhanced shoulder curves to help with the back-in (all Fort Wilderness RV sites are back-in).
You can add a tent too, but it is very likely to be on the asphalt, have no staking ground, and limited guying options. Disney calls these "Premium" loops. The images are from the 600 loop.
These loops come with a picnic table, charcoal grill, water, electricity, sewer, cable, and available internet access.
More than half the sites at Fort Wilderness are "Premium" sites, so you can find loops tuned to almost any way you plan to camp at the Fort.
- For a Magic Kingdom, dining, or water-sports focused trip, premium loops 400, 500 and 700 are near the Settlement (all these are pet friendly).
- For a pool or sing-along/movies focused trip, premium loops 600, 1000, 1300, and 1400 are closest to the Meadow. Loop 600 is pet friendly. 600 and 1400 are on the north end of the Meadow area, and hence closest among these four to the Settlement. In my view, for families not certain how they will use Fort Wilderness, 600 and 1400 are thus the best Premium sites.
- Premium loops 1100 and 1200 are not far from the Meadow area, but not as close as the four just discussed.
- Premium loops 800 and 900 look pretty good on the map until you notice how close they are to the potentially noisy Creekside Meadow–especially loop 900, which is connected to Creekside Meadow via a bridge, so tons of youth campers may walk through 900 on their way to the Meadow area. Both loops are pet friendly.
Some loops combine good-sized asphalt with a medium tent pad, and are best for those planning both an RV and a tent, or an RV smaller than the very largest sizes. They are fine for tent-campers who don't mind camping in a sea of RVs, as well. Disney calls these "Full Hook-Up" loops.
These loops come with a picnic table, charcoal grill, water, electricity, sewer, cable, and available internet access.
The full hook-up loops are loops 1600-1900, and are all pet-friendly. Loop 1600 is closest to the Meadow area and best among these for first-timers. The two images are from loop 1600. Loops 1800 and 1900 are among the most isolated loops at the Fort and a bit of a hike from the bus stop, or anything else for that matter.
Preferred loops have the same characteristics as full-hook up loops–that is, they have both extensive asphalt for rigs plus a sand pad for a tent.
These loops come with a picnic table, charcoal grill, water, electricity, sewer, cable, and available internet access.
What makes the three preferred loops–100, 200 and 300–"preferred" is how close they are to the Settlement. Loop 100 is so close that it can be noisy. Loop 300 is pet friendly, and is next to the dog park. Loop 200 is probably the best choice overall, although loop 300 is just a bit closer to the Meadow area and to the bus stop.
The online check-in form for the campsites lets you directly request a loop, and describe certain features of your rig. I've posted it below larger than my usual images (and as always on this site, just click it to make it bigger) as there's some complexities worth talking through.
First note the items at the very top–even if they describe you, if you have selected a premium site, you need not check these as the premiums can fit anything. But you've selected a preferred or full hook-up site, and one or both applies, be sure to check them, as the layout of these sites varies and your site will fit you better if you tell Disney what you need.
Second, ignore "Upper Floor," "Lower Floor," and "Near Elevator". There are no floors, and no elevators. These don't belong here at all.
"Near Transport" will put you closer to the roadways where the buses run, and thus lead to shorter walks, especially in some of the deeper or distant loops like most of the full hook-up options. These "near transport" sites can be noisier–although with the sounds of buses, ferryboat horns, and train whistles from the Magic Kingdom no one would call Fort Wilderness quiet.
There's plenty of comfort stations at Fort Wilderness, but except in loop 2000 it is possible to be to be a bit of a hike away. Click "Near Comfort Station" if being closer to one matters to you.
Most sites are woods view, but a few have more open vistas–see the images below for examples:
So select "Woods View" if that is important to you.
Each campsite comes with a charcoal grill.
Don't count on a campfire otherwise.
If there is no local fire hazard at your campsite during the time you are there, Disney will permit campfires, but only in fully enclosed portable fire pits with solid (not metal mesh) tops and legs that bring them off the ground. See the image for examples of approved and not-approved fire pits.
You have to bring these yourself.
You don't have to own an RV to do RV camping at Fort Wilderness. Plenty of RV rental sites are located in the Orlando area. Some will even set up your RV at the campground for you!
Tents and cots are available for rent from Fort Wilderness itself. Strictly, they are only for use at one of the group campsites. But call Fort Wilderness–if they are not claimed by groups, they may be made available to you.
Fort Wilderness is a huge favorite and a family tradition for many.
It's not uncommon for RV owners to camp there for weeks, perhaps cycling in different sets of grandchildren.
Halloween and Christmas decorations put up by campers have become ever more elaborate each year, and make the resort particularly charming and silly at these times of the year–to the extent that the overflow parking can be closed to those without a reservation because of all the sightseers!
The campsites' biggest negatives are their lack of visual kid appeal, the resort's sheer size, and its internal bus system, which no matter how well it runs, adds time to every theme park visit.
Returning visitors often find the Campgrounds at Disney's Fort Wilderness to be a favorite, particularly if they have or rent a car to avoid some of the buses, need space for a large family, and want to enjoy some of the distinct amenities of Fort Wilderness—one of America's best campgrounds.

Hi! we are planning a disney trip in april and plan on staying in the camp sites with our tent. We usually stay in hotels, but the kids want to camp! We camp here at home, but it's winter here and our 2 kids want to tent it, so we're going to, plus it's way cheaper! we have never been here though and dont really have a clue? How long of a walk is it to the bathrooms? are there lots of them? Also, do they have showers? And if it's hot is there anywhere to get out of the sun and in the a/c? And do you know how much it is to rent bikes or a gulf cart while your there? THank you so much!

I'm unfamiliar with sand stakes. Are they the big hard plastic ones or the big metal ones?

Hi. We have a Polaris RZR. Will they let us use it for short trips around Fort wilderness.
- 11 Mary { 07.15.15 at 3:10 pm }
We are staying at a premium site in December. We have stayed at many Disney resorts, first time at Ft. Wilderness. We want a loop that is wooded and quite but still accessible to Meadows. Is there a premium loop like this?
- 13 Chris { 07.30.15 at 10:59 pm }
Hi, I'm so glad you run this site and thank you for all the great info. My question is, which premium loop is generally quieter? We aren't worried about getting around as we have a golf cart. I'm thinking quiet areas would be better for rest since I'm a very light sleeper. Any loops with mostly water views as well? Thanks for any help you can provide.
- 15 Chris { 07.31.15 at 12:44 pm }
Thank you! I guess anywhere will have to work and I'll look into 600. If its a bit noisy at least I'll have a view. I'm sure noise won't bother my family much, just me. It'll be OK that's why they make earplugs.
- 16 Barry { 09.06.15 at 11:19 am }
Im 66 year's old ~coming for the first time.~ 33 foot 5th wheel 3 slides ~2 pets which is my best loop for a first timer there
- 18 Jennifer { 10.24.15 at 6:18 am }
Hi we are planning to come in April. 40ft travel trailer with 3slide outs. What type site would you recommend? Also just planning magic kingdom with a 3 and 9yr old. Any suggestions on sites?
- 20 Annie P { 12.07.15 at 1:07 am }
I tried for months to find a site for our travel trailer around New Years. Finally a tent/pop up site became available, and I grabbed it, figuring that some pop-ups are as long as our 22 foot camper. We are traveling around Florida the whole month, so it's not like we can abandon it somewhere. We can take a tent and camp in it, but then we'll have to store the camper in some overflow. Do you think Disney would permit us to put a 22 foot camper in the pop-up area; if not, do you know where we'll need to store the camper while we use a tent. Like I said, I took the only site available.

Respond to Review of Blossoming Lotus
by ckimana
Review: This is definately my favourite restaurant in Newtown. Delicious vegan thai food! Large servings at great prices! They also have a takeaway bar if you're in a hurry. The satay skewers and caramel fried ice-cream are the best I've ever had!

If you've never been to the Indiana State Museum then you don't know what you're missing. The reason I can tell you this with complete confidence is because until I visited the State Museum I had no idea what it was. I had seen it every time I walked the canal or checked out the Slow Food Garden, I knew it was called the Indiana State Museum so I figured it had something to do with Indiana. We had sooooo much fun there — you don't know what you're missing!
As I mentioned, the State Museum is located in White River State Park. There are many parking options; you can park in the underground garage for only $3 (must present your parking stub at the ticket counter for validation) with your paid museum admission. If you are staying for an IMAX film, your parking will be free! We parked at the uncovered parking at the White River State Park entrance where parking is $3 for the first three hours. Of course there are many other downtown parking options but these are the best we've found.
You and your family will find highly interactive exhibits that please most of the senses. There are new exhibits quite often but you will love the permanent exhibits that showcase Indiana's rich history through popular cultural items and natural findings. There are things to touch, things to listen too, things to play with, things to smell and so much to look at! My husband was most excited to show the giant swinging pendulum to our daughter. It demonstrates the rotation of the earth by knocking down domino-like blocks of wood throughout the day.
10am-5pm Monday – Saturday
11am-5pm Sunday
650 W. Washington St
Visit Indiana State Museum
My name is Katy Mann, and I'm the creator of Indy with Kids.

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15

62% would repurchase
Package Quality: 4.3
Price: $$$$
Package Quality: 4.3
Price: $$$$
INGREDIENTSSkin Foundation SPF 15 – (Active ingredients: Octinoxate 7.50% and Titanium Dioxide 1.00%) Water, Methyl Trimethicone, Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexanoate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone, HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Talc, Boron Nitride, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Dimethicone, Lecithin, Aluminum Dimyristate, Tocopherol, Myristic Acid, Silica, Magnesim Ascorbyl Phosphate, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Citrate, Sorbic Acid, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol. May contain: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499).
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Other, Fine
Eyes: Green
For reference I have sensitive skin, broken capillaries on cheeks, combination skin (dry cheeks, slightly oily t-zone) and neutral skin tone (NC/NW 25ish).
The consultant matched me with warm beige 3.5. It has a yellowish undertone but not too strong. The foundation is quite thin. I dislike this foundation. I found it stuck to dry patches (yes I do exfoliate), turned greasy in my t-zone, and later in the day my whole face felt greasy, foundation disappearing. I applied this product over moisturizer and no primer, moisturizer and primer and a light layer of powder. With different brushes and sponges too. I still had the above results. I returned it to Sephora. Two thumbs down for me.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
I just received this foundation about a month ago so I really wanted to give it a good go before I reviewed it. I have oily, acne-prone skin that leans towards being sensitive. I have had no problems with break-outs or sensitivity issues. However, this foundation falls short for me in the oily department. When you first apply this foundation it leaves a beautiful dewy finish to the skin. Dewy isn't something I am always going for considering I have somewhat oily skin, however, I really don't like a matte look on my skin as I think it ages me. However, after a couple hours of wear, with or without powder over the top, this foundation starts to make my skin oily. The pump bottle makes for easy application, and because this is a very watery foundation, it also makes for easy application. I normally have to blot throughout the day, at least 4 hours later, but when I am having to blot within 2 hours of application then the foundation no longer is working for me. Blotting always manages, no matter how gently I blot, to wipe off some foundation. And considering this is a light coverage foundation, that doesn't leave much of this foundation left on my skin. I would consider this to be within the tinted moisturizer range of foundations. I believe it is buildable to medium coverage. Overall, this foundation is not a winner for me. I will use up what I have, but will not repurchase. I really think this foundation would suit normal to dry skin types, not oily.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
No coverage. Like the pump, but that's it.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Normal, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
very thin foundation. One application is almost invisible. I tried this as a change from BB Moisture Rich hoping I'd have a longer lasting foundation. It lasts a couple of hours before I need to re-apply. I bought the palest shade Porcelain which I use in the Moisture Rich but this is so much paler. I don't know why but there is a full shade difference. It does give a natural finish but I need to apply 3 coats to get any kind of decent coverage and I don't have blemishes just pale, fine skin with no lines.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Oily, Tan, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
light coverage (not sure if buildable-haven't tried 2 layers yet), very runny, feels like a light moisturizer going on, doesn't accentuate dry patches. goes on so smooth and easy to apply (i like to apply with my fingers). i was matched to 4.5 Warm Natural and I am about NC40 right now. By summer i will be NC42 and can jump up to Honey (5.0). fantastic color match for my yellow undertone tanned southeast asian skin. i have extremely oily skin and by lunch, i was a bit greasy but i havent found a foundation that has lasted any better. Cliniques Matte foundation works really well but at the same time, its TOO matte and it leaves my face looking old and not natural. i'd rather look a bit dewy than dried up! really enjoying this foundation and going to try her long wear one next and after that, her new long wear compact foundation :)
Age: 19-24
Skin: Dry, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Blue
I got this after I tried bobbi brown's foundation stick which I loved but dried my skin out like crazy (as in, i actually had dry patches all over my face). So the SA reccomended this.
At first I wasn't sure if I was gonna like this cause I prefer a medium-full coverage. But since my skin has improved immensly it's actually okay.
This is a light-medium coverage foundation that feel very natural on the skin. Almost like a moisturizer. I forgot to take my mu off at night several times with this and my skin didn't break out or anything.
It will last you a good 6 hours I'd say. When I come home from an 8 hour workday, I'll touch it up if I still got somewhere to go.
I love that it comes with a pump which you can screw off if you need to. The packaging is defenitely a full 5!
Of course the price of this is rather high, but I'll gladly pay that to get a good everyday foundation that is actually light enough for me and makes my skin feel great.
My pores are also a lot less clogged ever since I went from MAC to Bobbi Brown.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair, Not Sure

I absolutely adore this foundation! It makes your skin look completely natural and perfect!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Olive, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I wear this in natural tan. I love love the finish of this it's so dewy and natural looking. The main thing is that it's a really sheer coverage. And that just doesn't work for me.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
This is my daily foundation; I've been using it for 3 years. I like it because it's very light and natural. I use Beige 3 which gives me just enough coverage and is the perfect tone. This seems to be a common color that does well on those with various skin tones. I do think it's a bit expensive but it does last a very long time. I have sensitive skin and this does not irritate at all. I also have combination skin and find that this does not cake or run.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I don't know why this didn't work for me. I have dry skin and heard great things about this foundation, but within hours of putting this on it was separating and accentuating every line on my face. I tried with my Ole Henrickson moisturizer, with a Nars primer, with a Laura Mercier primer, I tried with different brushes and my fingers with the same results. I just don't get it. It looked horrible. The only plus was the shade was so perfect. I've never found a color match like this which makes this even more disappointing. If anyone who loves this can suggest how they make it work I'd love to know.

In tapas-style dining, you share small plates with fellow diners, unlike family-style dining, in which you share a giant spoon with your brothers. Dine in good company with this Groupon.
The Deal
- $16 for $30 worth of tapas
- Click to view the menu
As dusk turns to darkness, Sway transforms from an upscale tapas restaurant to a raucous nightclub. In the hours before the switch, tapas are the main attraction. Chefs meticulously season and garnish each small plate. To make lobster flatbread, they layer chunks of meat and shiitake mushrooms atop super-thin crusts. They prepare scallops one by one, flavoring each morsel with sesame seeds, cilantro rémoulade, or ancho mole. Signature drinks, including the key-lime-pie martini, fuel the switch to club-mode. On most weekend evenings, neon lights crisscross young crowds, spotlighting live DJs and all the dust that's floating in the air.
72% of 46 customers recommend

Not sure what to do

Not sure what to do
Long story short. I rescued a GSD, he was 49lbs at almost 3 years old, 8months later he is now at 74lbs. He's still thin and lean but vet said this is perfect and his blood work and tests all came back good even when I got him and now again.
The issue is that he is a picky eater when it comes to kibble, I feed blue buffalo wilderness blend along with the same wet food mixed in. He has never eaten kibble just on its own since I got him. No idea what the previous owners were feeding him but given he was 20-30lbs under weight it was probably nothing. The expense of kibble and his canned wet food is pretty much the same as going raw. The past week I've started feeding little bits of raw so not to upset his stomach or give him the runs and he LOVES it. So I guess I need to make the transition. I need to do a lot more reading but one of my coworkers was telling me I can't feed both kibble and raw? I think I've read that on here as well. The thing is if I mix the kibble with the meat he eats everything, which is great. But if that is not good for him I won't be doing that. I know they digest at a different rate but will that cause problems? He eats twice a day but usually skips a meal every 3rd day or so. This has been a long road to actually get the weight on him and eating so things are progressing. The bits of meat I mix in right now have never had bone in as well.

Great Odin's raven! It looks like the bulk of the reviews are positive!
Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner are back as everyone's favourite news team in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. It's been almost 10 years since 2004's unparalleled look into the inner workings of local news stations in the 1970's first gave us Ron Burgundy and the rest of the Channel 6 news team and almost a decade later it seems as though they still now how to keep it classy.
The moustachioed maverick that is Ron Burgundy is back!
On the whole, the early feedback for the much-anticipated sequel s mostly positive. There are a few exceptions of course, with Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times leading the negative reviews. Skarkey, like most of us, is happy that Anchorman is back, but ultimately felt let down by Burgundy's second outing. She wrote, "While I'm glad Anchorman is back - we need a little levity in this year of heavy films - I do wish it were better."
Paul Rudd [L] and Will Ferrell [R] failed to 'crack' up Sharkey or Cabin
Chris Cabin of Slant Magazine as also left relatively unimpressed by the finished product, commenting that the film largely consists of "hit-or-miss episodic sketches" that are "faintly strung together" by a lacklustre story. He commented further, "The film's half-hearted plea for responsibility and ethics in the news, after joyfully rolling around in its corruption for the majority of its runtime, smacks of plain pandering."

As expected the new Canadian Wheat Board announced this morning that it is setting up a canola pool to market the lucrative Prairie oilseed.
It is the first time in 63 years the CWB has added a new crop to its portfolio joining wheat, durum and barley as products marketed around the world through CWB's farmer pools.
Initial payments for canola, the second-largest crop grown in Canada, are expected to be announced by early September. CWB's first Pool Return Outlook for canola, issued today, is $625 per tonne (basis in-store Vancouver or Thunder Bay).
This year's western Canadian canola crop is expected to the largest in history.
In 2011, the Marketing Freedom for Farmers Act removed CWB's single-desk and gave it the authority to market any crops, from Canada or abroad.

About Nastassja Kinski
Nastassja Kinski (born January 24, 1961) is a German-born American-based actress who has appeared in more than 60 films. Her starring roles include her Golden Globe Award-winning portrayal of the title character in Tess and her roles in two erotic films (Stay As You Are and Cat People), as well as parts in Wim Wenders' films The Wrong Move; Paris, Texas; and Faraway, So Close!. Richard Avedon's photo of her, nude with a large python, was marketed as a poster.
Early life
Born in Berlin as Nastassja Aglaia Nakszyński on 24 January 1961, Kinski is the daughter of the German actor Klaus Kinski from his marriage to actress Ruth Brigitte Tocki, thus making her half sister to Pola and Nikolai Kinski. Her parents divorced in 1968. Kinski rarely saw her father after the age of 10. Kinski and her mother struggled financially. They eventually lived in a commune in Munich.
Kinski's career began in Germany where she started as a model. After this the German New Wave actress Lisa Kreuzer placed her in the role of the dumb Mignon in Wim Wenders' film The Wrong Move. In 1976 she had her first major role in the feature length film and Wolfgang Petersen directed episode Reifezeugnis of the German TV crime series Tatort. Also in 1976, in her mid-teens, she starred in the British Hammer Film Productions' horror film To the Devil a Daughter (1976). She has stated that, as a child, she felt exploited by the industry and told a journalist from W Magazine, "If I had had somebody to protect me or if I had felt more secure about myself, I would not have accepted certain things. Nudity things. And inside it was just tearing me apart."
Kinski starred in Stay As You Are (1978) with Marcello Mastroianni. New Line Cinema released it in the United States in December 1979, helping Kinski to get more recognition there. Time magazine said: "Kinski is simply ravishing, genuinely sexy and high-spirited without being painfully aggressive about it." Director Roman Polanski urged Kinski to study acting with Lee Strasberg in the United States and cast her in his film, Tess (1979). In 1981, photographer Richard Avedon photographed Kinski with a Burmese python coiled around her naked body.
In 1982, Kinski appeared in One from the Heart, and Cat People, and then Unfaithfully Yours, and The Hotel New Hampshire. Paris, Texas won awards at Cannes, however, the film was not widely released in the United States. Kinski then split her time between Europe and the United States, making Moon in the Gutter (1983), Harem (1985) and Torrents of Spring (1989) in Europe and Exposed (1983), Maria's Lovers (1984) and Revolution (1985) in the U.S. Kinski's luck turned in the 1990s when she appeared in films such as Terminal Velocity opposite Charlie Sheen, and Mike Figgis' One Night Stand.
In One From the Heart, director Francis Ford Coppola brought Kinski to the U.S. to act as a "Felliniesque circus performer to represent the twinkling evanescence of Eros. . . Kinski has one great moment in the film, when she seductively curls up in a giant neon-rimmed martini glass. . ." The film failed at the box office, and was a major loss for Coppola's new studio, Zoetrope.
Other appearances have included Martin Donovan's Somebody Is Waiting (1996), Neil LaBute's Your Friends & Neighbors (1998), John Landis' Susan's Plan (1998), Chris Menges' The Lost Son (1999), Michael Winterbottom's The Claim (2000), and David Lynch's Inland Empire (2006).
She has not appeared in any films since her cameo in Inland Empire.
Personal life
In 1976, Kinski began a romantic relationship with Roman Polanski, when she was 15 years old and he was 43.
In the mid-1980s, Kinski met Egyptian filmmaker Ibrahim Moussa. They married on September 10, 1984. They raised her son (by actor Vincent Spano), Aljosha (born 1984) and daughter, Sonja Kinski, now a model (born 1986). The marriage was dissolved in 1992. From 1992 until 1995, Kinski lived with musician Quincy Jones. In 1993, their daughter, Kenya Julia Miambi Sarah Jones, was born.
Kinski speaks German, French, English, Italian and Russian fluently.

When the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's annual Light the Night Walk illuminates Denver's Washington Park on Thursday evening, Oct. 1, longtime Evergreen residents Mary and Cassidy Brewer hope to make that gala promenade in the company of neighbors.
"It would be great if the mountain area had a good representation," says Mary, who's been busy assembling a team since August. "Blood cancers are major killers, right up there with breast and prostate cancer, but they don't seem to get as much attention. I don't think most people know all very much about them."
Students returned to West Jefferson Middle School at midmorning Wednesday after the school was evacuated when a teacher found a suspicious package in the school. The box turned out to be full of garden tools.
School district spokeswoman Lynn Setzer said the 583 students at West Jeff were taken to Conifer High School after the package was discovered about 6:30 a.m. The evacuation occurred about 8 a.m.
Setzer said the Jefferson County sheriff's bomb squad reported to the school and determined the package was not hazardous. Students then were bused back to the school.
An Evergreen woman suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries in an encounter with an elk about 11 a.m. Sept. 22 on South San Souci Drive, near Dedisse Park and Troutdale Scenic Drive, about a mile from downtown Evergreen.
A neighbor who talked to the woman's husband said she was heading back to her car after retrieving a small dog. She didn't see the elk before it attacked her and knocked her to the ground.
A herd of about 17 elk was in the woman's yard at the time, said the neighbor, who did not want to be identified.
The Mount Evans Highway is officially closed for the season.
The road to the 14,264-foot summit, Colorado 5, is billed as North America's highest paved highway, state officials announced Sept 23. The road was closed after two days of intermittent snow.
Officials from the Jeffco Midget Football Association will meet this week to decide how to handle a local outbreak of H1N1 flu that has already forced cancellation of several games.
Rebecca Schloegl, office manager of the South Jeffco Sports Association and past president of the JMFA, said several games have been canceled because team members have confirmed cases of H1N1 flu " and more cancellations could be coming.
The Jeffco Public Library and the county's Workforce Center are taking their campaign for computer literacy on the road. Literally.
The county last week unveiled the eTrain Mobile Training Lab, a converted bookmobile that boasts eight computer stations with access to the Internet. The vehicle's driver also serves as a trainer, and will lead classes in Internet skills and career-building for clients of nonprofits and for small businesses around Jefferson, Gilpin and Clear Creek counties.
The new proposed management plan for Apex Park on Lookout Mountain gives mountain-bike riders access to all trails, while restricting certain uphill segments to one-way bike travel only.
Instead of traveling from top to bottom conveniently nonstop, cyclists would navigate a series of switchbacks going uphill for 0.7 miles, before taking the rest of the downhill.
Under the plan, pedestrians would be somewhat less vulnerable to bikes coming downhill.
With the local economy in a tailspin, the staff at Evergreen Christian Outreach food and clothing bank is feeling the stress.
As the holiday season approaches, EChO is sending out an SOS for more volunteers, groceries, bedding and shoes, among other things. The center at 27640 Highway 74 is also expanding physically to accommodate the crowds.
After meeting in a closed-door session for about 45 minutes, the Evergreen fire district board decided Sept. 17 to combine two jobs into one and eliminate the deputy chief post, culminating a staff reduction process that began early this year.
Some of the communications manager's duties have been reassigned to the communications supervisors, and other management matters will be under a new position.
The excitement is building at Evergreen High School as the highly anticipated homecoming week approaches.
In addition to the usual activities, this year's homecoming is extra special because the varsity football game will be at the school for the first time in 35 years, thanks to portable bleachers. And, even more exciting, the game is against the Conifer Lobos.

(hidden for your protection)
Remember yesterday when AIG was going to sue the government for bailing it out? Hahaha yeah that was never going to happen, and today it didn't:
American International Group Inc.'s directors decided Wednesday not to participate in a lawsuit that accuses the U.S. government of taking advantage of the company in its rescue from the financial crisis. … "The AIG Board has determined to refuse Starr's demand in its entirety, and will neither pursue these claims itself nor permit Starr to pursue them in AIG's name," the company said in a release. …
Mindful of the potential backlash, a number of AIG directors entered Wednesday's meeting leaning toward rejecting Starr's request to join its suit, two people familiar with their thinking said
If you read as much of the Internet as I do, you probably noticed that a lot of people yesterday freaked the fuck out over the pseudo-fact that AIG was considering joining the lawsuit, brought by its ex-CEO Hank Greenberg and his investment company Starr International, against the U.S. government for basically being too mean in bailing out AIG. Some of these people were regulators, Senators, and Congressmen, three of whom penned this cheery missive to AIG:
According to The New York Times, AIG is actively considering suing the U.S. government for monetary damages after American taxpayers rescued your company from its reckless conduct with a $182 billion bailout.
Don't do it.
Don't even think about it.
"Don't even think" is about the advice you'd expect to get from a Congressman, but it is not great advice for a corporate directors, who after all are tasked with thinking carefully and deliberately about things affecting their shareholders. AIG's directors, as various cooler heads reminded everyone yesterday, actually had a fiduciary duty to think about Greenberg's lawsuit, and had committed to do so as part of an ongoing federal court case. They didn't just wake up one day and decide to put "sue government" on the agenda.
To be fair to the freakout brigade, this was not necessarily obvious. If you just hear "AIG is spending Wednesday morning debating whether to sue the government," your natural conclusion might well be, "assholes." To reach the correct conclusion – "oh, yeah, I suppose they're obliged to give Greenberg a hearing, but they're not going to actually sue the government, that would be insane" – you'd have to know a little bit about the law of Delaware shareholder derivative lawsuits, and as I said yesterday,1 that is such a boring thing to know about that it's easy to forgive even a Congressman for not knowing about it.
Nonetheless, you are smarter and more devoted to the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake than Congressmen are, so I'm going to tell you about derivative lawsuits. Or rather Carole F. Wilder is, because she already wrote about it in the Pace Law Review in 1985 and what am I, gonna explain derivative lawsuits? No I am not. Here she is:
A shareholder derivative suit is an action brought by a corporate shareholder on behalf of the corporation to enforce a corporate right that the officers and directors of the corporation have failed to enforce. In bringing a derivative suit, a shareholder is asserting that the corporation was harmed, that the corporate officers and directors failed to take action to redress that harm, and that the corporate cause of action has therefore accrued to the corporation's shareholders in place of its directors. …
One of the oldest and most important of the[] procedural rules [applicable to derivative suits] is the requirement that prior to instituting a derivative action a shareholder must make a demand on the board of directors to bring the suit. Once demand has been made and rejected, the burden is on the plaintiff shareholder to show why the directors' decision not to take action should not be respected by the court. Only rarely have courts allowed shareholders to proceed with a derivative suit after a rejected demand. … In these circumstances, some courts have allowed shareholders to proceed with the derivative action, despite director opposition, on the theory that the directors in such cases were either too self-interested or too controlled by the alleged wrongdoers to make a valid business decision to dismiss the suit.2
I quote this for two reasons. First of all, to show why it was so important for AIG's board to actually have a mock trial this morning – to give Greenberg a real chance to make his best case, so that if the directors said no the court wouldn't second-guess them for not "mak[ing] a valid business decision." Thus AIG's careful listing – to the court that is hearing Greenberg's lawsuit – of the procedures it would follow, with written submissions from Greenberg and the government, oral argument, and then deliberation among the board. The goal was to create a good record of careful deliberation.
But the second reason to understand the rules is to show how counterproductive the Congressional-regulatory freakout was. All AIG had to do was give Greenberg a careful and dispassionate hearing, wait a week to make it seem like they were thinking hard about his arguments, and then sometime before their self-imposed end-of-January deadline notify the court that they were not joining Greenberg's lawsuit. That would pretty much be that: Greenberg would have a tough time making out that AIG had not made a "valid business decision" to dismiss the suit, so the suit would be dismissed.3
But now … what now? I will tell you what now. Actually David Boies will tell you what now:
David Boies, who represents Starr, said in an email that his team believes the AIG board's move "is contrary to the shareholders' interests." He said Starr would seek to pursue the claims AIG opted not to back. Whether the AIG board "will be successful in blocking Starr's efforts to recover damages for their shareholders will ultimately be decided" by the court, he said.
And what will David Boies be saying to the court? I'll tell you that too. He'll say that "the directors' decision not to take action should not be respected by the court." He'll say that AIG's directors "were either too self-interested or too controlled by the alleged wrongdoers to make a valid business decision to dismiss the suit." He'll say that "the directors are personally involved or interested in the alleged wrongdoing so that they stand in a 'dual relation' to the corporation, which would impair their business judgment or reflect bad faith." And he'll base that on the fact that they were threatened and called names and made pariahs and subjected to "ad hominem attacks"4 for even considering joining Greenberg's lawsuit.
And he'll note that, despite their promises to the court of "further deliberation" and a "process … designed to ensure to the maximum extent possible that AIG's Board will have the information and time necessary to make an informed decision on the difficult issues raised by Starr's demand," the board made its decision within hours after – and, from news accounts, probably before – this morning's mock trial. And that they threw their promised deliberative process out the window under pressure.
And he'll sort of have a point, no? And Greenberg's lawsuit will drag on. Which is kind of the best he could have hoped for. AIG wasn't going to join his lawsuit! Really! No matter what any politicians did or didn't say about it! But what they did say about it, and the results of their pressure, gives him a chance to continue it anyway.
AIG Won't Join Greenberg Lawsuit [WSJ]
A.I.G. Says It Will Not Join Lawsuit Against Government [DealBook]
Lawmakers Warn A.I.G. Not to Join Lawsuit Against U.S. [DealBook]
1. In the course of reaching that correct conclusion, by the way, not to brag or anything.
2. A footnote reads in part:
To maintain the suit despite director opposition, the shareholder must show that the suit satisfies the classic test for appropriate derivative action described in Hawes v. Oakland … In addition, the Supreme Court and lower federal courts following it, have held that the decision whether to enforce a corporate cause of action in the courts is ordinarily a business decision that should be left to the discretion of the directors unless the directors are personally involved or interested in the alleged wrongdoing so that they stand in a "dual relation" to the corporation, which would impair their business judgment or reflect bad faith.
Everything I know about excessive footnoting I learned from law reviews.
3. Except, again, as to some claims that Greenberg was asserting directly as a shareholder, rather than derivatively on behalf of AIG. Which are not nothing.
4. Most of the quote marks in that paragraph are from Wilder's description of derivative-suit law, but "ad hominem attacks" really is Boies's, from his USA Today piece yesterday. He doesn't explain what hominem those attacks were ad, which is odd because most of the press and political fury was of the form "we hate AIG for this," not "we hate individual AIG directors." But the phrasing is tactical: Boies wants to create the impression that AIG's directors voted against suing for personal reasons, because they were threatened/berated/etc. themselves, and not for corporate reasons. "Let's not sue because if we do everyone will hate our company and won't do business with us" is actually a perfectly good business reason not to join Greenberg's suit. "Let's not sue because if we do everyone will think that we personally, the directors, are dicks" is not.
