I hve used this product both times- the old formula and the new one and I found the shades weren't that great in either. I expected a good coverage but found that I really needed to build it up and didn't give my skin the wow factor!. I have combination skin but rarely get spots but I just found that this didn't do much for me atall.

When thinking of wether or not to purchase this product you can become very confused! There are a lot of other amazing foundations e.g Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk. This particular foundation is one of Dior's best sellers!
This foundation comes in two formulas. I am reviewing the one that provides a medium to full coverage.
The product comes in a frosted glass bottle and a blue plastic lid with the CD logo in top. There are silver linings separating the lid from the bottle and this have DIORSKIN engraved in to them. The foundation also has a handy pump which makes handling the liquid much easier! In short the packaging is luxurious and handy!
The shade ranges are very wide in this particular foundation and each one has a code. Depending on what the code ends in and the number in the middle will determine your match. My shade is 050 for example 5 is my correct shade and the number 0 at the end means I have a neutral undertone. You then get the standard yellow undertone ending in 2 and a pink undertone ending in 5.
Upon application the foundation is very soft and glides very easily across the face providing a full coverage almost instantly! The product also allows you to build up as necessary to get a more full effect. The one thing I noticed with this foundation is that it is best applied with the fingers to start, should you with to build this up then a second layer with a blending sponge is ideal. I tried to use a foundation brush but the product is very very quick to set and this then leaves an uneven coverage.
Despite being a fluid the foundation leaves a matte yet very hydrated look to the skin. I'm not sure how Dior intended the finish to be? However I find that using the Illamasqua Matte Veil contributes well to the longevity of the product. However just for you guys I went a few days without using a primer and the foundation lasted ages! I checked my face at the 8 hour mark and needed a slight touch up with La Mer loose powder in the shade translucent (slight oil breaks in my T-Zone) and it was good to go for another 4-5 hours!
As you can expect from Dior the product has an amazing scent to it kind of like a sweet and floral scent that is not overpowering however it is noticeable. I am a fragrance driven person and fall for anything with a good scent however for you people who do not like scent or are sensitive to fragrances then I recommend you do not buy this straight away, go to the counter for a sample or even use the tester available to get a up close and personal use before splurging your hard earned cash!
Another great thing about this foundation is that it provides SPF25! Which is always a good thing!
The product retails for around �33 in the UK and is available in all majors department stores that have a Dior counter.
Overall, an amazing foundation that lives up to its expectations however the application is slightly hindered due to the quick setting of the product.

i apply this with a beauty blender & when I first apply this foundation my skin looks AMAZING. however after 2-3 hours my t-zone looks sooo oily, the foundation oxidises really badly, and my skin looks incredibly dull. I always use a moisturiser before for oily skin & I have tried this foundation with Diorskin pore minimising primer but it still settles into my pores & fine lines. I really wanted to love this foundation but after trying with different primers, different powders & different application techniques the result is always the same. Awful looking dull skin. (unless you only want to look flawless for an hour) it might be okay on normal skin but if you have even a slightly oil prone face then I WOULD NOT recomm

I was using Estee Lauder Double Wear Light, which I liked in terms of staying power, coverage, and finish, but it wasn't (at least for me) sweat-proof. It would wear off and turn patchy when I sweat. So I was hoping to find a liquid foundation that was similar, but more suitable for summer. I went to Sephora and got 3 samples. Dr. Jart Premium BB Cream (almost no coverage) and Kat Von D Lock-It (way too thick, acsencuated my flaws, and color was way too orange) and this was the last one. I didn't really know what to expect from this foundation. I really didn't expect to like it. But this stuff is amazing. The coverage is great, it is super easy to apply, it never looks cakey, and once this is on, it stays on. It also doesn't transfer like so many other foundations seem too. It even holds up when I sweat. Using the Color IQ from Sephora, I was matched to shade 023 Peach. I was concerned it would be way too light, but it is perfect. In fact, I think it's one of the best matches I've found. This is the first Dior product I've tried. I was a little hesitant to purchase a full-sized bottle of this, because at $49.00 it is definitely a splurge for me, but I loved it so much, I did anyway. I'm so glad I did.
The first time I used this foundation, after I had my makeup completely done, I realized I'd forgotten my primer. But I was running late, and decided to just go with it. Even without primer, this makeup stayed on until I took it off. One of my favorite things about this foundation is the finish. It looks like real skin, not like you are wearing a ton of makeup. It makes me feel confident and pretty when I wear it. Which for me, is a huge deal.
This foundation is great for people with very oily skin. you apply it and you don't have to worry about touching it up. In addition to being oily, my skin is also extremely allergy-prone. This foundation hasn't given me any issues with that either. I will purchase this over and over again. I highly recommend this makeup.
EDIT: While this is still a wonderful foundation, it definitely is NOT sweat-proof. I was sweating like crazy today, and my makeup was running all down my forehead. The color isn't that great either. When I first apply it, it looks great, but then it oxidizes something terrible and gets at least 2 shades darker.

I really like this foundation , but it makes me look dull. I got it in shade 30, it gives a matte finish( which is a good thing for me since I have an extremely oily t-zone) and it doesn't rub off unlike most foundations . It is expensive , €48 in Ireland . I'm giving this foundation a 4 out of 5 because of the fact it's good for oily skin, just not my shade

I've been using this foundation for about a week now after it was recommended to me at my local Sephora counter. First off, the packaging is very sleek and classy. Frosted glass bottle with a CD monogram on the top, foundation had a pump which is always a plus. The first thing I noticed off the back as I pumped the foundation is the scent. It's not an unpleasant scent but it is definitely strong and takes some getting used too. After the foundation sets the scent seems to go away. I find this foundation to be medium coverage but it's able to be built to a fuller coverage. I apply this with a sigma f80 flat kabuki and I find this to be great for a better coverage. For a more sheer coverage I use the beauty blender. The foundation blends seamlessly it's so beautiful on the skin and give a semi matte finish. I find it wears well but around a couple hours later I find myself getting a little more dewy than I prefer but that could be my combo skin. I'd definitely repurchase. Overall, I'm loving it.

I have had this foundation for a month now and have struggled to come to a conclusion on whether I really like it or not... which leads me to conclude that, especially considering the price, I would not buy this foundation again.
Pros: This foundation has a nice coverage. It smells very pleasant. The bottle has a pump which helps not to waste any of the product. In some lights, you appear to have a healthy glow.
* Coverage - not great... although it is slightly buildable I still find that my skin looks uneven. And, even worse, this foundation seems to sit in the lines of my face making me look old & tired (I am only 27)! This is the main reason for my 2 lipstick rating.
* Colours - I was not impressed with the range of colours & have struggled to find a correct match. I have skin that is a neutral tone but find that the '020' is a little orangey
* Wear - This is not particularly long wearing. It will smudge/move if you touch it. I have to touch up several times a day even when I have worn a powder on top
* Price - considering all of the above & the amount of touch-ups required this is a very over-priced foundation!
I would never recommend this foundation to a friend.

I've used this product now every day for about a fortnight now, so I can write an honest review.
I was searching high and low for a new foundation after I didn't get one with Chanel Perfect Lumiere and Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow . This foundation has become my new HG foundation I will defiantly be repurchasing. For my colour match I was I between 010 Ivory and 020 Light Beige so I chose ivory. A little pale but it is a good colour match. Is an absolute dream to apply one pump is usually enough and blends so quickly. Coverage is perfect, I find it so build-able I can go from a quick sweep to a night out so easily. Defiantly not as full coverage as Double Wear by Est�e Lauder but I like having the option to build it up. It is quite a fluid liquid formula, similar to Vita Lumiere Aqua, but I personally like that, as it feels soft, hydrating and avoids being "claggy". However it does set fast a quick hand is needed. Does have an obvious scent that so many French and European cosmetic brands have, but it is delicate and nowhere near as strong as Vita Lumiere Aqua. Finally the packaging is just so luxurious, a classy thick glass bottle with a silver pump.

I like the way it blends into my skin but thats about it. It makes me look dull and it oxidies badly. I'm between nc20/25 and bought this in 021, if your set on buying go lighter! I'm returning it, its not worth the hassle to make it work for the price.

This really is a beautiful foundation, just not on my skin unfortunately. I have dry skin, am NW15/20, 4 in Giorgio Armani for color reference and I ordered the lightest shade 010 Ivory. The foundation looked wonderful when first applied, but that lasted about 30 minutes until it oxidized on me and turned orange. I've not had troubles with foundations oxidizing on me until this one, but every foundation's ingredients adapts differently to each person. After about 30 minutes of application my skin felt tight like I had a face mask on. I'm giving this 3 lippies because it really is a gorgeous foundation and if you can find the right shade then I think this could really work. Packaging is divine, frosted glass bottle that looks very elegant. Not sure if it's best suited for dry skin types, but hey if it works for ya then it's worth the price!
PS-For you dry skin girls like myself I recommend Shiseido's Radiant Lifting Foundation- full coverage, crazy pigmentation, dewy, long-lasting foundation that is my current HG!

Marathon mania: Should running 26.2 really be everyone's fitness goal?
Running used to come with street cred. You got the head-clearing glory of those pre-dawn miles and plenty of fitness prowess was conferred upon you for it. Now, it seems everyone who laces up their sneakers is upping the ante and training for a full-blown marathon. When did running 26.2 miles become the brass ring of fitness? And should it be?
"I feel like everybody does marathons now," observes Jess Underhill, a New York City runner, coach, and founder of Race Pace Wellness. "Most of my clients are working towards marathons, and if they're not, they're on the fence about it." If you're a runner, you're a potential marathoner, the thinking goes.
The numbers reflect that sentiment. According to Running USA, in 1980, 143,000 people finished marathons in the United States; in 2011, that number rose to 518,000. In New York, about 15,500 more pavement-pounders finished the ING New York City Marathon in 2011 than 10 years earlier. And while the country debuted 550 new marathons between 2000 and 2012, getting a spot in one is often like trying to score a ticket to see Lady Gaga at MSG.
As more and more people cross the finish line, median times are getting slower. "In the past, it was more hard-core, serious runners finishing marathons," explains New York Road Runners chief coach John Honerkamp. "Now, it's the masses. It's a bucket list item."
So how did the marathon of elite athletes become the brass ring of bar-stool bragging rights for the rest of us?
Of course, general interest in running as a sport and social past-time has been increasing, and the masses of people taking it up (especially women, who were barely represented in the sport as recently as the '80s and now outnumber men) want to have something to work towards.
More specifically, runners and coaches tend to point to the growth of charities using the races as fundraising tools. "It increases the accessibility of the races and markets them to people," says Meghan Reynolds, who co-owns Hot Bird Running with Jessica Green. "Everyone wants to do good, and this way you can give to charity and do something good for yourself."
And, of course, there's a cool-kids-club effect. "People are inspired by their friends and family who've completed marathons," Underhill explains. "They think 'Well, if Sally can do it, I can do it.'"
The positive effects of the marathon boom are obvious—lots of people setting tough goals for themselves, meeting challenges while getting healthy and fit, and building community. But is there a downside?
"Some people run their first road race as a marathon, and I think that's crazy," says Honerkamp, who recommends starting with a race like a 5K and gradually increasing your race distance as you become more experienced.
Most seasoned runners and coaches agree, because running newbies tend to underestimate the stress the training will put on their bodies and don't spend the time to build mileage gradually in a smart, safe way.
Reynolds and Green say that many of their clients come to them because they tried to train on their own, or too quickly, and were injured. "We believe everyone can run and achieve that distance, but it's a lot on your body. We always say, 'You have to respect the distance!'" —Lisa Elaine Held

The NYC Marathon was an incredible achievement and amazing experience for me and I love the half marathon distance – doable and fun. However — with a torn meniscus in my left knee – I've had to start walking instead.
I was very happy to read recently that brisk walking delivers all/more of the health benefits of running (although not sure about the "runner's high"…). There is a totally different kind of marathon coming up – an overnight event on July 20th called The MoonWalk NYC where you can walk a full or half marathon – in a crazy bra – and raise money for breast cancer initiatives. It's sponsored by Walk the Walk America, and benefits Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
April 8th, 2013 at 12:17 pm
I started running a couple of years ago, and my goal is to run a half. I'm not really interested in completing a full marathon. We'll see if I change my mind when I get there.
April 8th, 2013 at 2:10 pm
I've run a few halfies over the last decade and have no desire whatsoever to run a full marathon. Training for a full marathon requires so many miles per week and it just takes up too much time.
I want to mix my exercise up with yoga, hikes and Pilates.
Also regular marathoners seem have far more more injuries than those who doing the shorter distances. I plan to run until I am old and not be wrecked from over training.
April 8th, 2013 at 6:13 pm
I have done a couple of half marathons and can honestly say I have no desire to do a full. I do triathlons also (as my primary sport) and this would completely wreck that training.
April 9th, 2013 at 12:54 am
I have run a few marathons in the past 3 years and have enjoyed the training experiences, if not for the camaraderie with my run club. But, I don't think it's a stigma if you haven't run a marathon and I certainly don't know anyone who has run a marathon and has looked down on someone who has not. To each their own. Just because you train for a marathon doesn't mean you put in the right amount of miles during training, and I'm all for people who just want to run and have fun.
April 9th, 2013 at 3:22 pm
I sure hope that this shouldn't be the goal, I would be happy to be able to run 5 miles let alone 26!
April 13th, 2013 at 6:03 am
Respect for the marathon distance is key. Runners must educate themselves first and foremost. Join a running club, train with others with the same goals and the rewards are endless. Now in my 70's, I look back over a 20-year running career and feel a real sense of pride and accomplishment (finishing Boston at 50 was GREAT)….You can do it!
April 17th, 2013 at 7:38 am
It could be for everyone whose body will not suffer a permanent damage from bumping joints and disks. Shirley has a point- people must educate themselves about it. If your feet are not aligned, or hips..or anything in fact – your body will suffer a damage from it. Making sure to do it correctly – is the key and then finishing is a great achievement.
April 23rd, 2013 at 1:42 pm
In a way, I feel like it's less a physical fitness goal than an emotional one. To know you can run a 26.2 is an amazing high, and a huge achievement. It really makes you feel good about what you can accomplish.
June 6th, 2013 at 12:05 pm
I started running about 2 years ago, and gave it up after a couple of months. In March, I started again, and have gradually increased my distance and speed.
Although i love my running now and all the benefits that come with it (I lost 10Kg in 2 months) I have absolutely NO desire to do a marathon. None whatsoever. I cannot think of anything worse.
I am training for a half marathon, and that is bad enough doing the training for that. Pushing your body doing 10, 11 and 12 mile training runs for me, is just not fun – and that is what running should be about – fun. I enjoy my morning 3, 4 or 5 mile runs, anything after this then become unpleasant from a personal viewpoint, aching knees, aching joints, sore feet, I even spewed up on the pavement this morning running into my 10th mile.
Somebody at work keeps pestering me to do a marathon, he won't take no for an answer and calls me a wimp – I keep saying I want to fill my spare time with things I enjoy – doing 20 mile training runs is certainly not fun in my eyes.
Each to their own.
June 1st, 2014 at 1:52 pm
I don't think the 26.2 is for everyone. Like Richard Martin said, "running should be fun." If it stops feeling fun and rewarding, then why do it? Personally, I have ran one half-marathon, and two full 26.2 marathons. I've never really even been much of a runner. After recovering from catastrophic injuries (multiple spinal fractures) I wanted to benchmark my comeback with a notable accomplishment. But after running my first marathon, I wasn't satisfied with my finish time, so I ran another one two weeks later. Call me a "bucket list" marathoner lol. But, now that I have done this, I have discovered how much I really enjoy the half-marathon distance. It is a distance that nearly anyone in reasonable health is capable of running. And this distance allows me to really push myself hard and shave minutes off of my finish times. Also, a half-marathon certainly does not require the amount of training that a 26.2 will so is much more doable for most people with busy lives. I now plan on traveling and scheduling my vacations based around various Half-marathons throughout the US. I highly encourage everybody to consider the half-marathon challenge. Trust me if I can manage to run it start to finish, then ANYONE can.
Keep on pushing!

Yoon et al. examined the regulatory impact of mRNA 3' untranslated region motifs.

This work demonstrates that double-stranded gBlocks Gene Fragments can serve as an ideal source for qPCR standards. They can be ordered up to 500 bp in length, are normalized to 200 ng, and are sequence-verified. Several amplicons can be designed into a single gBlocks Gene Fragment sequence for multiplex amplifications. As an added benefit, because they are limited in quantity and do not require additional processing and purification, gBlocks Gene Fragments can reduce the risk of template contamination in the lab that is common with plasmid DNA.

Did you switch to UT3 Engine? ;)
Did you redo the Hands, or am I wrong?
really nice
as you want peopls to vote for your mod, can you show some progress, which would enfore the people to vote?
i like the first 2 the most
What is so unique about this modification?
This appeared here quite fast ;)
why? they made really great progress!!!
Wouldnt you get much better graphics, if you would use Unreal-Engine, or is that even harder to program?
Maybe he lies on the back ;)
I dont like the beards...
MW2 and BFBC2 style =)
you are right, looks like vacant from both modern warfare games...
i can, but dont understand ;)
wrong, this is based on the Mauser24 and the k98k is also based on it
i dont think that the prjectile has the diameter of 97 mm, i would think the caliber could be 0.97 cal
you also downloaded the levels file?
this would be even more epic on UDK
isn't this the old version, just in one installer?
lucky striker ;)
Otherwise nice picture
i will come! and wait
it is released today
Really a lot of cool pics.
If you also put the Jumbo into the Game, could you take Halftracks version, because his is better in my eyes...
I don't think so, as they founded the Spiral Game Studios and want to publish it for XBox, PS and on Steam...
I think, it will become a Multiplayer game on UDK.
You can team up vs. Dinos or fight the other aliens/humans...

PORTSMOUTH — Here are the highlights from the Portsmouth police report from over the past week.
Tuesday, June 10
Manuel Torres, 41, of 11 Constitution Ave., Apt. C, Middletown, was charged with carrying a pistol without a license or permit, a felony. Mr. Torres' car was stopped on West Main Road shortly before 10 a.m. after police learned its registration had been suspended. During a search of the vehicle, an officer found a handgun filled with 14 9mm luger rounds, plus round in the chamber, according to police.
Wednesday, June 11
Kenneth A. Cyr, 29, of 98 Center Ave., Middletown, was charged with driving while intoxicated (first offense) and driving after his license had been suspended or revoked. Police stopped his car for speeding on Route 24 at Turnpike Avenue at about 1:50 a.m.
Friday, June 13
James J. Cotta, 51, of 3 North St., was charged at his home with domestic assault, domestic disorderly conduct and willful trespass at about 12:30 a.m. A tenant at the address told police that Mr. Cotta, his landlord, kicked in his bedroom door and struck him in the back with a closed fist. Mr. Cotta said he was unhappy because the man owed him back rent, but denied hitting his tenant, according to police.
Katie E. Longcoy, 22, of 95 Main St., Hoosick Falls, N.Y., was charged with domestic vandalism with malicious injury to property and domestic willful trespass following an incident at a Dexter Street home. The owner of the home told police that Ms. Longcoy had previously stayed there before being asked to leave because of her disruptive behavior. The owner changed all the locks, but came home to find the front door wide open and rear patio sliding door to be unlocked, with most of Ms. Longcoy's belongings gone, police said. Police said the locking mechanism to the rear sliding door appeared to have been tampered with. After issuing a warrant for her arrest, Ms. Longcoy was picked up by State Police and transported to Portsmouth around 3:45 a.m.
David J. Halcisak, 27, of 22 Shove St., Apt. 2, Fall River, was charged with willful trespass after police responded to the Sakonnet River Bridge shortly before 11 a.m. for a report of a man walking on the top of the old bridge immediately to the north. When they arrived, police said they found Mr. Halcisak exiting the prohibited area by climbing over a security fence. Mr. Halcisak admitted to being on top of the old bridge and was taking pictures with his phone, police said.
Kaylyn T. Vasconsellos, 19, of 479 Park Ave., was charged with disorderly conduct (fighting/tumultuous behavior) after allegedly fighting with another female in the middle of President Avenue sometime before 3 p.m. The fight started during an argument over money, police said.
Monday, June 16
Julius R. Taylor, 25, of 1027 East Main Road, Apt. 2, was charged with domestic disorderly conduct shortly after police responded to his home around 4:20 a.m. for a report of a domestic disturbance.
Tuesday, June 17
Benjamin B. Fogg, 18, of 3 Stonebridge Road, Wayland, Mass., was charged with underage possession of alcohol after a car in which he was a passenger was stopped for speeding on West Main Road around 1:15 a.m. The driver, a 17-year-old Framingham, Mass. boy, was also charged with underage possession of alcohol.

Fun & Recreation in Art
Carroll, Colleen, Arts & Activities
Ask young people why they love art class and many will emphatically reply, "It's fun!" With that in mind, we introduce this year's Clip & Save Art Print theme: "Fun & Recreation in Art." Students will see that, since ancient times, artists have explored the human need to play.
Indeed, the selections for this year's theme reach back as far as ancient Egypt, with a facsimile image of a tomb painting depicting Queen Nefertari playing the game of draughts (known as "checkers" in the USA). Students will marvel at the unusual way in which the queen is playing this game akin to chess: without an opponent!
This image will offer excellent pathways into discussions about the ancient Egyptians' belief in an after-life, and would be a perfect opportunity to partner with the general education teachers or social studies teachers to liven up a unit on ancient Egypt or ancient cultures.
Moving forward to medieval Europe, students will be fascinated by Children's Games (1560), by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Unlike most medieval paintings, this work looks modern by comparison in both composition and subject matter, which falls squarely into the category of genre painting--images of people at work or play depicted in a realistic manner.
According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Web site (www.metmuseum.org), 'The foundations of genre painting in Europe were laid most remarkably by the great Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder (ca. 1525/30-1569) in the 16th century. Bruegel's inhabited landscapes and scenes of peasant life are lively and unsentimental depictions of common occurrences, such as weddings and village fairs."
Students will want to spend hours lingering over the reproduction of Bruegel's painting, identifying the many games represented by the artist and discovering those that are still being played by children to this day.
Late 19th-century Japanese printmakers working in the Ukiyo-e style also created many images of people at play, relaxing, participating in leisure activities and generally enjoying the pleasures of life. Among the Art Prints this year will be one of these images, by the Japanese master Kobayashi Eitaku (1843-1890), depicting children building a snowman, a favorite activity of people in snowy climates throughout the world.
The French Impressionists, particularly Claude Monet and Auguste Renoir, created many paintings of people enjoying the outdoors. Scenes set in parks, gardens and beaches were favorite and oft-painted subjects of these French artists, and still charm people to this day.
American painter, Thomas Eakins, enjoyed depicting people at play or engaged in sporting events, such as The Biglin Brothers Racing (1872), in which the brothers are shown competing in a regatta. …

Eric Sprott's Gold Analysis Deconstructed: What The Gold Bulls Still Don't Get [View article]
When I was a kid my old man had two US $20 gold pieces hidden in a desk drawer.
Once in a blue moon he would take them out so I could hold them and look at them. We all sat down to dinner each night, which Mom cooked, and we thanked the Lord before we dared to pick up a fork. We watched Leave it to Beaver on the black and white TV, and on Saturdays all us kids got out our balls and mitts or our Flexible Flyers or our Schwinns and spent the days and our youth having true adventures. We were not rich, but we were happy.
And now here we are, in the Brave New World. Everything has changed. Precious few things remain as they were.
Well, now my son has those two gold coins, which, once in a blue moon he takes out to show his kids, and soon their kids.
Is he going to sell them? You tell me.May 4, 2013. 07:56 AM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment

Great atmosphere for the true football fan regardless of who was playing, and it was my daughters first live NFL game... She wore a Holt Jersey I wore a Faulk one....
I tweeted Tory Holt about it and he responded twice....that guy is pure class.
Attendance was 85,000 and got to see up close Joe Montana and Ed Hochoulie (who looked a little less gunny than usual)
Regardless of your loyalties London really are embracing the NFL, and you cant knock an opportunity to take in the atmosphere and the game.

In the post-stay surveys, priceline.com hotel customers are asked a number of questions about their stay and the hotel.

Hotels/rooms in Tel Aviv are expensive so
XXX for a room with a private bath is a decent deal. But it is just a place to sleep. A basement unit but could have slept 4 people instead of one with the two couches, was just a few blocks from the beach, and there were many restaurants and bars in the neighborhood. Do not expect a helpful staff. There is one person who is not very friendly. ...
August 27, 2012
This fit perfectly for my husband and I. We enjoyed our stay and our privacy and close to where we wanted to be. Most of all the price.

I got more than I expected. Parking was $10 instead of $15 per night, which was a pleasant surprise. Staff was helpful, and kitchen was clean. Happy about location, access to grocery store, beach, and services
February 16, 2012
A conveniently located accommodation, clean, comfortable and within good walking distance to market and beach. Hotel did not respond to subsequent request for accommodation through email and getting a hold of hotel staff is a hit and miss affair. A solid 3 star hotel.

How secure is open source?
Received wisdom would have it that transparency makes systems more secure by allowing anyone to view the underlying software code, identify bugs and make peer-reviewed changes.
Computer security and cryptography expert Bruce Schneier certainly adheres to that theory. Hes been saying engineers should demand open source code for anything related to security since 1999. But not all security experts agree.

Nun finished by dashinvaineWatch
©2004-2016 dashinvaine
very nice
took it from a photograph you should state your source
nice pencil art. wery atmospheric
Awww this is really neat. It's nice to see some artwork of a nun that isn't horrifically ... just... icky, you know? This is really the FIRST piece I've found in searching for artwork of nuns that isn't horribly sexual and weird.
Very pretty!!!
Very pretty!!!
I totally agree man, usually when I type in the word "nun" into a search engine I get a bunch of messed up shit that will stick with you for days. This is nice.
*nods* It's really sad, I think.... how an idea so pure can get all twisted. Not that this is the first/only example, but--it still bothers me.
I know exactly what you mean.
I love this but why have you made her look so sad?
Perhaps she is contemplating the suffering of Our Lord. Perhaps she's having second thoughts about being a nun, alternatively.
lol I'll go with the first as I'm inquiring with a convent now. lol. I don't want to have second thoughts! x It is beautiful tho.
Very pretty, I love the window behind her....great work on that arch. Nice detail on that crucifix. Her face is so peaceful.
dude ur awesome with those arcs
I love the sad look on her face and the fantastic detail through the window, its really symbolic and simple like oleandervyce said before me. I really like this drawing, she just looks so sad and lonely...well done though.
Nice. I like the fact that you've got the background in there. It's simplistic yet there's still a great amount of detail. Well done.

Ocean, stream, lake or puddle there is always something of interest in the interaction between water and earth. At the ocean the intertidal zone is twice daily revealed and covered by the tides' ebb and flow. Up shore, the bedrock is exposed and weathered. The water's action peels back the skin of soil to expose and polish the bedrock. From within the interplay of water, earth, sky and ice Whitman presents a book of landscape photographs drawn from 40 years of field work.

Oak Park trustees again visit affordable housing properties
Village board preps for vote on Comcast rehab later this month
The Oak Park village board is making a second visit to two affordable housing complexes in Chicago, as it prepares to vote on a controversial apartment building planned for Madison Street.
On Saturday, trustees will tour two buildings owned by Interfaith Housing Development Corp., the nonprofit that plans to buy the vacant building at 820 W. Madison to turn it into apartments. Sites to be visited include Sanctuary Place, 642 N. Kedzie, and Sankofa House, 4041 W. Roosevelt.
Board members will meet at 3 p.m. at Sanctuary Place to kick off the tour, which is open to the public. After the Oak Park Plan Commission approved Interfaith's plans earlier this year, the village board plans to decide whether it agrees with those recommendations, starting with the regular meeting scheduled for May 16.

While at the new 'green' Walgreens on Madison and Oak Park yesterday i observed someone at the register in front of me spend about five dollars on candy bars with their, you guessed it, Link Card! So much for eggs bread and milk. Im sure i was glowing red with anger. Then she promptly pulled out a bit of cash to buy cigarettes. I'm sure we would see plenty more abuse to the system just like this if this project is approved.

I agree with Link Card. First things first and this is not one of them. I am in south Oak Park and have seen the characters come and go at Garfield and Clinton. No OP I CAN'T just move out. I would just like Oak Park to be responsible to it's taxpayers.

Lost Puppies is not an economic terms. I know some very rich lost puppies and very astute poor people. The worst is the near rich who lost big money in the market and are now whiney lost puppies. Instead of looking forward they complain about what the recession did to them, and try to double down with quick fix investing. The world is not about punishing the poor, but it not about punishing those trying to maintain a standard of living either. Buck up folks. Our 10 yrs of OP hell is not over.
OP Resident
Posted: May 10th, 2011 1:35 AM
Wow, Link! Did you throw away your broad brush and start using a power sprayer? You describe the working poor as "lost puppies". That's a shameful attitude to express. I want Oak Park to be more resposive to the needs and conditions in our neighborhoods but I would not insult someone who is struggling to survive in these economic times. Walk a mile in my shoes.
Posted: May 9th, 2011 11:23 PM
Hate to break the news to LC, but the trains are full of people who get on and off at Austin my friend. There are plenty of working folks who live there. Lots of hard nosed working types just like you and me.

All we need is more affordable housing and people taking more social services and school services that are paid for by a smaller number of taxpayers. Why cant we concentrate on fixing our communities roads, educational system, crime and other basic living things before we take in these "lost puppies" Let's face the facts, these people are much more likely to be criminals and bring in bad elements that we moved out of the city to get rid of. Low income equals trouble - just cross Austin Avenu

As my husband just said, "Can't we celebrate our Christian holidays as their Pagan inventors intended?"
I enjoy celebrating Christmas - there are some fantastic traditions surrounding it - decorating the house, baking cookies, seeing the whole family, giving them all heart-felt gifts, drinking hot chocolate, driving around the city in PJs looking at Christmas lights. But damnit, why do they have to keep ruining my fun with all their serious Jesus crap? ;)
There's a light show in our city every year - it's been going on for 5-6 years. It's completely underground, and you drive through it in your car. It's supposed to be a lot of fun - bajillions of lights, sculptures, giant Santas, snowmen, etc. My kids would probably really get a kick out of it, and we were thinking about going this year (I haven't been yet).
Then today I saw a picture of a local celebrity getting ready to take the first official ride through the event this year in a convertable. She's sitting there smiling and waving, and in the background is the opening to the cave. (It's a manmade cave, so no landmarks are harmed in the making of this light show...) The first sign is clearly visible in the mouth of the cave. About 20 feet tall, in all capital twinkle lights, is spelled out "KEEP CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS."
Sigh. Just lost my interest in going. :P

I am giving this one star due to the poor - missing - instructions. I have never rated a recipe poorly before, but am so aggravated - being in the middle of the recipe at the moment - that it's getting only 1 star. My issues: 1. Ingredients lists 1 cup water. Instructions never make reference to this. Assume I add it when adding the TVP? 2. Instruction #4 refers to a 'prepared pan' - assume this means sprayed with Pam??? 3. Instruction #5 says to 'sprinkle half the soy cheese blend...' - there is no instruction regarding the soy mozzarella. I am assuming it's to be grated, but what's this about a 'blend'??? Is it supposed to be mixed with something that the ingredients list doesn't include? 4. I just went to your website to check this recipe's instructions there. Very different, hmm? That version lists only a half cup of TVP (vs this recipe's 2/3 cup) and says to soak it in 1 cup of hot water. It has only 1/2 tsp salt vs this one's 1 tsp. That version lists a mixture of soy mozz and parm, this one only lists soy mozz. Your site's instructions say to add the soaked TVP to the cooked veg - seems like soaking is kind of a critical step here? I am hoping this recipe comes out ok since the soy mozz cost $8 alone. I will be avoiding any recipes from this chef in the future.
