Oak and chardonnay — such fickle friends. Too much oak, and you feel like you're drinking turpentine or licking a barrel. In the past, it has left me with this nagging feeling that it's a crutch used to hide fault in a particular chardonnay.
Over-oaked chardonnays have turned a lot of people off from chardonnay. Especially because so many new wine drinkers are exposed to inexpensive, and often over-oaked, chardonnay.

Mayweather really cleaned up in his last two fights. He earned over $72 million combined for his fights against Marcos Maidana and
Saul Canelo Alvarez. Now he's about to bring in another cool $30 million for his rematch against Maidana which is scheduled next month on September 13th.
All of this success has Mayweather on his way to a net worth of $300 million which may have a lot of people considering the merits of a boxing career for their kids. Mayweather is now living the dream of people worldwide to have all of that money with magnificent houses, cars, and swimming pools. This creates a situation for a lot of pleasant times socializing.
Mayweather nevertheless still has his critics as seen when Rapper 50 Cent recently implied Mayweather can't even read. MSN News has reported on Friday 50 told Floyd he would donate $750,000 to the charity of his choice if only he could read one page of a Harry Potter book without a start or a stop.
Mayweather has responded to 50 by saying he doesn't need 50's $750k as he posted a picture of two paychecks that he received recently which total over $72 million. Mayweather is a spectacular fighter who is serving as an inspiration for everyone who dreams about being wealthy, which is just about everyone.

Let's see.
I'm in a calendar. In fact, I'm the pin-up shot for December 2011, a festive position in which to be. The position is probably due to all the parti-colored feathers and the champagne bottle, from which I genuinely did swig. The picture-taking took place during one of those nights in an artists' loft, and when in the artist loft, you do as the artists do. There were many women tromping around in various states of delicious undress, and all I can say is that I'm delighted to be in their company. Also, I took pictures.
You can buy the calendar over here on The Rumpus, and when you do, you can feel good about supporting The Rumpus (even if your primary motivation is to get pictorial evidence of my fake but spectacular bosoms. I mean, holy levitating boobs, Batman. My breasts look as if they're going to float away. It's an optical illusion aided by the corset I'm wearing; my actual breasts do not defy gravity to any extent that strains either credulity or natural law). I built the wings in the photo myself, and those I'm very proud of, though were I to do it again, I would engineer them a bit differently. As it turns out, $220 worth of feathers weighs quite a bit.
In this calendar, I'm portraying one of my very favorite literary figures from one of my very favorite books by one of my very favorite writers: Fevvers of Nights at the Circus by Angela Carter. Carter's prose humbles and inspires me; she has that rare ability to craft a sentence whose syntax evokes intrinsically while challenging absolutely. Her writing gives me that frisson of pleasure that comes only when the strings of the heart and the head are plucked simultaneously. Add to this precision Carter's predilection for magical realism and her unabashed socialist-feminist political leanings, and I swoon.
The novel, sadly, is out of print in the US. That's a deep down tragedy and no doubt about it.
I'm feeling fairly fond of the photo in the calendar. I have a vexed personal history with photographs. I didn't take good photos, and then I did, and now I don't so much. I think the calendar shot makes me look both hot and daft in equal measures, and I suppose I can live with that. Once upon a time, in what seems like a galaxy far, far away, every picture I took was good. My driver's license shoots looked like Francesco Scavullo had taken them, full-on with beauty lighting and wind machine. It's not the case anymore. My face has shifted, and where the transition from 3-D to 2-D used to play up the angelic angles of my cheekbones, now it highlights wrinkles.
That's life, I suppose; it's also death, but slowly. I don't rue aging, but I do suddenly come to understand why actresses do fucked up things to their faces. Were I to blow my face up twelve feet wide and luminous, I'd probably scramble for the Botox, Juvederm, and Collagen too.
Lately, I've gotten drawn into photography, in part because I have friends who are models, in part because I have friends who are photographers, and in part because I got an iPhone, and every douchebag with an iPhone and a Hipstamatic app thinks she's a photogrpher; I am that douchebag. Taking my own photographs and looking at the photographs of others is a lot like writing myself and reading Angela Carter. There is what I can do—and then there is what other people can do. I pray for the wisdom to know the difference, as well as the temerity to keep on going in the face of crushing self-doubt.
One of those photographers who makes me die a little bit is Symon Chow. I wrote about him for Filthy Gorgeous Things a couple of months ago. I came to his photos through seeing one of his nudes reblogged on one of the Tumblr sites I follow, but all of his pictures slay me. I love his full-frontal commitment to a vintage aesthetic, and I'm equally partial to his eldritch sensibility. Any man who has been given full rein to run amok in the Mütter Museum's storerooms earns my eternal, bone-dusty respect. I'm just sad I'm no longer in the full flower of my photogenic self.
Time passes. You snooze; you lose. I snost; I lost.
So what, you ask, is the thrumming subtext in all this text? It's this, dear reader, you may notice my face here is lots and lots. All kinds of my face. Even a gossamer shred of my first name. Which is because my "anonymity" has become more or less a charade. Everyone I know knows I have this blog. I used to have to keep it on the down-low because I taught at a Catholic college. Then I had to keep it on the down-low because I worked at a conservative community college. Today I work for a man who picked me because of the strength of my sexytime scribblings. I maintain this second name because this identity is more famous than I am.
Also, it's fun to have doubles. Just ask any model, artist or photographer.

Larvicides—which kill mosquitoes before they can develop into biting, breeding adults—comprise the preferred method for preventing future problems and health risks. Stark estimates the MMCD devotes 85% of its resources to larviciding; Szyska estimates 90% of his district's resources are spent on larviciding.
For any larviciding program to be successful, problem breeding sites must be identified and treated. Larvicides such as Altosid, from Schaumburg, Ill.-based Wellmark International, come in several forms to meet specific needs, such as larval habitat, manpower and equipment availabilities, and budget:
The NWMAD employs college students each summer to distribute larvicides in backyard catch basins, sewer grates, flood-water areas, residential areas with standing water, ditches, and culverts. "We use Altosid pellets, ingots, and briquettes because of their residual and long-lasting control, which saves money, labor costs, and continues to provide control even after our summer crews depart to go back to school," said Szyska.
Stark and his MMCD colleagues work closely with the local public works officials to share resources for mapping, cleaning, treating, and working to control the local mosquito population. "Currently MMCD provides all the control, but we hope in the future public works staffs may be able to assist with some treatments," he said. "This may be most important in areas that are difficult to access, or may even be under lock and key. It's all about making the best use of public resources."
District and local public works officials have established a dialogue regarding mosquito control. For example, the district delays larviciding efforts until after the city cleans its catch basins. If the city plans road construction or other activities that would block access to catch basins, the district schedules treatments prior to road closures. "The dialogue is important, because West Nile virus won't go away," said Stark.
— VanGundy is an entomologist with Wellmark International.

For Immediate Release - July 19, 1999
Contact: Anastasia Burton, (406) 444-5523
(Helena)---Governor Marc Racicot today announced the recipients of the 1998 Montana Medal of Valor. Fourteen Montanans were chosen to receive this prestigious award. The ceremony is scheduled to be held Monday, August 2, at 11:00 am in the auditorium of the DPHHS Building in Helena.
The 1998 Montana Medal of Valor recipients are: Matt Stanchfield, 35, of Wise River; Anthony Castro, 15, of Missoula; Marti Miller, 32, of Missoula; Aaron Hall, 17, of Milltown; Larry Anderson, 35, of Columbus; Gene McCoy, 60, of Gardner; Kevin Linderman, 44, of Trout Creek; Bob Metcalf, 49, of Bozeman; Randy McKenzie, 37, of Thompson Falls; Jim Inman, 51, of Thompson Falls; Wayne Abbey, 44, of Trout Creek; and Chris McGuigan, 33, of Plains. Posthumous awards will be presented to the families of Bill Pierce of Billings and Stephen Martin of Missoula.
The program for the awards ceremony is as follows:
The Montana Medal of Valor Awards, sponsored by the Montana Newspaper Association, are presented annually to citizens of the State of Montana who, at risk of death, endeavored to save others from a life threatening situation. The period for this year's awards was January 1, 1998, through December 31, 1998.
The following are accounts of the life saving actions taken by each of the recipients:
Bill Pierce (deceased): During the early morning hours of December 31, 1998, Bill Pierce awakened to find his family's cabin on fire and filling with smoke. He woke his daughters, Rebecca and Katie, and helped them out of their bedroom window. Then, instead of leaving the cabin himself, he went back to find his wife, Jan. Bill and Jan never made it out of the cabin, which was quickly consumed by flames after Bill had gotten his daughters out.
Stephen Martin (deceased): Last winter, Stephen Martin was moving a hot tub in his pickup when a gust of wind blew it out of the truck. Stephen stopped his truck in front of the hot tub and turned on his flashers while he tried to reload it. A Great Falls family stopped and the driver got out to help Stephen lift the hot tub.
While they worked, Stephen noticed an approaching vehicle that did not appear to be moving into the other lane to pass around the pickup. In the instant before the second vehicle hit the back of the pickup, Stephen pushed the Great Falls man out of the way, saving his life. Stephen, however, was caught between the two vehicles and was killed by the impact.
SFC Matt Stanchfield: On May 31, 1998, members of the Rader family gathered in two rubber rafts on the Wise River to scatter the ashes of a family member who had recently died. The river was running high due to spring runoff and was treacherous under the best of circumstances. The two rafts were seriously overloaded and collided with one of the bridge pilings on the Jerry Creek Bridge, throwing several family members into the icy and turbulent water.
This was the scene Sgt. Stanchfield encountered as he, his fiance, and his parents arrived at the bridge while on a family drive. Sgt Stanchfield, trained in rappelling, organized onlookers on the bridge and quickly rigged a rope from the bridge that he used to lower himself to the boats. After unsuccessfully trying to pull one of the victims back up to the bridge, Sgt. Stanchfield assisted in securing ropes from the boats to shore where other rescue workers now waited to pull the rafts to safety.
Tragically, Cora Rader, mother to the man whose ashes the family had gathered to scatter, drowned and her body was later found by searchers.
Anthony Castro and Marti Miller: Keith Miller was swimming near the McClay Bridge when he got caught in an eddy near the middle of the river. Exhausted by efforts to free himself from the whirlpool, Miller started to go under before he could reach the shore. His wife, Marti, dove in to help him and found him unresponsive. Keith's size made it impossible for Marti to pull him from the river unassisted.
Anthony Castro and a friend heard Marti's cries for help and Anthony dove in while his friend went for help. Together, Anthony and Marti were able to pull Keith to shore through the swift current.
Aaron Hall: At 16 years of age, this camp counselor fought off a mountain lion that had attacked young Dante Swallow near the top of Marshall Mountain Ski area. Dante, a participant in a week-long day camp at Marshall, was attacked from behind by a young male mountain lion weighing over 90 lbs. The cat grabbed Dante around the neck and head, forced the child to the ground, and began to drag him into the woods. Aaron rushed the cat, kicking and hitting it while yelling to scare it away. The cat backed off momentarily, allowing Aaron to pick up Dante and move him to safety.
Aaron then quickly administered first aid to the puncture wounds on Dante's neck. Aaron and another counselor then got Dante into a pickup and rushed him down the mountain while other counselors moved the other children to safety.
Aaron, a Boy Scout, has received the Crossed Palms, Scouting's highest honor, for his courage. He was also recently recognized by the Carnegie Hero Foundation.
Larry Anderson and Gene McCoy: Last summer, during a transfer of gasoline from a tanker truck to a bulk truck, an explosion threw Stephen Kraft from the bulk truck and ignited his clothing. The ensuing fire destroyed the bulk truck and burned Mr. Kraft over 75% of his body. Gene McCoy and Larry Anderson were nearby and immediately rushed in with fire extinguishers to put out the flames on Mr. Kraft. The men then climbed onto the truck to put out the fires before further explosions could occur and possibly ignite other nearby fuel tanks and endanger many other lives.
Unfortunately, Gene and Larry were too late to prevent serious injury to Stephen Kraft, who later died from his injuries.
Kevin Linderman: In January of 1998, Kevin saved the life of three-year-old Travis Johnson and also attempted to save Travis's 10-month old baby brother, Tracy Fields, from their burning home in Paradise. Travis and Tracy were trapped in their bedroom when fire broke out in the living room. Kevin Linderman, who was staying nearby, heard the boy's mother, Kathleen, screaming and quickly came to assist the family. Entering the home through a back door, Kevin was able to crawl to where Travis lay in his bed and get the child to safety. Once outside, Kevin learned that Tracy was still trapped inside the house and, although unsuccessful in finding Tracy, he braved the flames and smoke a second time to search for the infant.
Kevin recently received the Carnegie Hero award for his actions.
Bob Metcalf: Last summer, while the Arkens family, who were visiting Montana from Wisconsin, pulled up their rafts at the Bear Trap Bridge near Ennis, their young son Larry and a friend decided to stay with the rafts to play. The raft in which Larry was playing broke free and headed downriver, where it turned upside down.
Bob Metcalf, driving on Highway 289 toward Bozeman, saw the overturned raft and noticed an arm and a leg coming out from under it. Bob quickly stopped and dove into the water where he righted the raft and attended to Larry. Leaving Larry safe, Bob left before anyone could learn his name. It was only by some quick detective work by the Arken family and the assistance of Bozeman Chronicle reporter Joan Haines and the Madison and Gallatin County Sheriff's offices that the Arken family were able to learn the identity of Larry's rescuer.
Firefighter Randy McKenzie, Fire Chief Jim Inman, Deputy Wayne Abbey and Deputy Chris McGuigan: During the early morning hours of January 16, 1998, Frank Barbeau, Jr. lost control of his pickup on an icy curve near Thompson Falls and ended up in the icy, swiftly moving water near Prospect Creek Bridge. Wayne and Chris were the first on the scene, and found Frank being assisted by a friend, Ben Schilling, while another friend had gone to call for help. ( Ben, an Idaho citizen, is unfortunately not eligible to receive the Montana Medal of Valor which, by statute, is limited to Montana residents.)
Wayne and Chris both entered the frigid chest-deep waters to help Frank while they waited for the necessary equipment to arrive to cut the man free from his truck. When Jim and Randy arrived with the equipment, they also entered the freezing water to cut Frank free. Clearly, these four men went above and beyond the call of duty and in doing so were responsible for saving Frank Barbeau's life.

|TO BE FRANK: Architect David Webster George would destroy you in a model-building contest.
photography by Ally Hulsey/Hal Samples
THE WRIGHT STUFF: "I was studying architecture at the University of Oklahoma after World War II and had one year to go. I was in Spring Green [Wisconsin], and dropped by to visit Taliesin. The secretary invited me to stay for awhile while Mr. Wright finished his afternoon nap. He favored Midwestern and Southwestern people, and he invited me to be an apprentice on the spot."
AS NATURE INTENDED: "My buildings are organic. It's Mr. Wright's word. It means of the earth, of nature, of the site. Its form and function are compatible with nature. I still design that way today."
UNEASY BEING GREEN: "I don't like to use the word 'green,' but I've been trying to do passive solar, energy-efficient design, honoring the sun and the site. I've always behaved myself on trying to be energy-efficient, not being too imposing. Now everyone else is coming around to that."
THE FUTURE IN THE PRESENT: "I'm currently working on developing an idea I call 'places to be.' It's a resort, refuge, resource, and habitation. I don't want to have to drive into a high-rise tower and be stacked up on top of people to work. It would be better to sit in a nice atmosphere where you can do all your work with easy access to the airport, telephones, computer, and communications. It's all available today."

HealthDay News: The Imported Food Alarm, part 2
imported foods. E.J.Mundell reports:
According to a FDA report released in 2003, pesticide violations were cited in 6.1 percent of imported foods sampled versus 2.4 percent of domestic products. And a report issued by the agency a few years earlier found traces of salmonella or the dysentery-linked bacteria shigella in 4 percent of imported fruits and vegetables versus 1.1 percent of domestic produce.Oh! And here is the first part: U.S. Food Problems, part 1. Kudos to HealthDay News!
And there's more imported food in the nation's supermarkets than ever before. According to the CDC, food imports to the United States have almost doubled in the past decade, from $36 billion in 1997 to more than $70 billion in 2007.
Trouble is, inspections by the FDA -- either at the source of production or at the borders -- can't keep up. The agency is responsible for inspecting all imported foods with the exception of meat and egg products, which are covered by the Food Safety and Inspection Service, part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Overall, "there's been an 81 percent drop [in FDA inspections] since 1972," noted Michael Doyle, director of the Center for Food Safety at the University of Georgia, in Griffin. "That's a huge reduction, and, at the same time, compared to 1972, we have a huge amount more of food imports."
In fact, the FDA's own data show that the number of inspectors at its Office of Regulatory Affairs dropped from 1,642 in 2003 to 1,389 in 2005 -- even as food imports rose from 9.3 million shipments per year to more than 13.8 million shipments annually.
The reason for the shortfall is simple, Doyle said: "Reduced budgets."

Extra Care Non-Greasy Sunscreen SPF 50, for Normal to Oily/Combination Skin is a water-resistant sunscreen whose lightweight lotion texture blends smoothly over skin and provides a soft matte finish. It has a more elegant feel than many other high-SPF products, and provides sufficient UVA protection thanks to stabilized avobenzone.
The formula contains antioxidants to boost skin's environmental defenses and is great for those who are active outdoors, sweating and/or swimming (though you'll still need to reapply after toweling off). This sunscreen is ideal for normal to oily/combination or breakout-prone skin.
As with similar high-SPF sunscreens, some may find that the high percentage of actives needed to reach SPF 50 might be sensitizing, especially when applied around the eyes. If this applies to you, switch to a mineral sunscreen (active ingredients titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide).

Fine except for the shedding

Best Uses
Comments about Paula's Choice Skincare Extra Care Non-Greasy Sunscreen SPF 50, for Normal to Oily/Combination Skin:
It is impossible to apply anything on top of this sunscreen. I feel like I'm molting. It sheds. I begin by exfoliating before using moisturizer or foundation, but once I put on this sunscreen there is no time sufficient for it to absorb and keep from peeling off. It is definitely my last tube.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Wouldn't recommend for sensitive skin
By Andy
from undisclosed
I have combination (oily to normal with occasional dry patches) skin that is also very sensitive. I was surprised at how runny this is but thought it would go on smoothly - it did not - it takes some serious rubbing into skin for it to disappear. Upon application my skin started stinging and then after a few minutes burning! This has never happened to me, not even with cheap sunscreens so please patch test first! Also, it leaves your skin looking oily, so I am very disappointed.
Beautypedia Team Response:Hi there! We're so sorry to hear that you didn't love this product. If you e-mail the Paula's Choice customer service department, they can help you with a refund or exchange!

Great product! Always but several tubes to make sure I do...
By JENNIFER Z.
Great product . it is my go to sunscreen and I use it daily. I put foundation and powder on top and I hope that is ok. I know it says to reply after a few hours but if I am mostly in doors with going out daily for a walk do I need to redo my face again?
Matte and healing
By Nona
Since I have a sensitive skin, I have to stick to mineral-based sunscreens for my face, but for the rest of my body this is a great alternative. It feels like a whipped body milk which absorbs very quickly and does not leave you looking ghastly or greasy. I also found that it has healing properties: in the winter I had a break out on my forearms which left me with small marks/spots. I swear after using this sunscreen for two weeks, these marks are visibly reduced!

Can't Use On Face
By Anonymous
I am only able to use this product on the back of my neck and decollatage. When used on my face it causes bumps and scaly patches. None the less, on the drier skin in the areas I mentioned before, it works very well and penetrates quickly . I would recommend it as an appropieate for use on the body but not on the face.

DON'T let it expire!
By NANCY H.
I made the mistake of using this product before noticing that it was two months past its expiry date. My little girl and I were badly scorched in horrible streaks, despite multiple even and liberal applications. I know that I have used other sunscreen brands past their expiry without an issue. I love the non-greasy finish and PC was very gracious about refunding our money, but it was an experience I never want to repeat. Be careful.
The best daily sunscreen I've found!
By Erin G.
I am so happy this is back in stock! I have very fair skin and have a long drive to work in the Florida Sun and this is the best sunscreen for daily use. It is moisturizing without being greasy and gives mineral protection without smelling like a day at the beach. The only comparable product out there is by Clinique but this one is better!
I'm not crazy about this sunscreen
By Laura
I love PC products, but I find that this sunscreen does leave me looking pretty shiny / greasy. Also, since switching to this sunscreen from mineral ones (i.e. zinc oxide, which admittedly looks even worse), I've found my skin becoming more sun-damaged. Granted, I spend a lot of time outside, but unfortunately my search for a sunscreen that protects my fair, sensitive yet somewhat oily skin, that doesn't leave me looking greasy (this one) or like I'm wearing clown makeup (zinc oxide) continues.
By Stacey M.
I love how this product is so light! It actually has a whipped texture and smooths over skin very well. Also does not leave my face feeling greasy like most waterproof/resistant lotions. A must if you spend a lot of time near water and want to take great care of your skin.
This antioxidant-rich sunscreen provides broad-spectrum sun protection without leaving a greasy or waxy film on skin. Formulated for the face and body, it may be worn under makeup and is ideal for outdoor activities because it is very water-resistant. Extra Care Non-Greasy Sunscreen SPF 50 slips on smoothly and leaves skin with a softly radiant matte finish.
Active: Homosalate 10%, Oxybenzone 6%, Octisalate 5%, Avobenzone 3%, Octocrylene 2% (all FDA-approved sunscreen ingredients). Other: Water, Butylene Glycol (slip agent), PEG-8, Polyethylene (thickeners), Dimethicone (silicone slip agent), Silica (dry finish slip agent), Picea Excelsa (Spruce) Wood Extract (anti-inflammatory agent), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Retinyl Palmitate (vitamin-based antioxidants),Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate (vitamin E/antioxidants), Titanium Dioxide (thickener/opacifying agent), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (water-binding agent), Bentonite (absorbent), Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate (emulsifier), Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Polyacrylate (film-forming/waterproofing agents), Lauryl Glucoside (wetting agent), Kaolin (thickener/absorbent), Ethylhexylglycerin (water-binding agent), Disodium EDTA (chelating agent), Sodium Hydroxide (pH adjuster), Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol (preservatives).
Paula's Choice Skincare At-A-Glance
Paula's Choice Skincare was established in 1995 when best-selling beauty author and consumer advocate Paula Begoun (known as The Cosmetics Cop) decided to develop her own products. Like most of us, she was fed up with products that overpromised results, cost a lot of money, and failed to deliver—or made matters worse!
As a natural evolution of Paula's personal mission to help consumers find the best products for their skin, the line has grown into an extensive range of skincare and makeup products that are formulated to meet the needs of almost every skin type and skin concern imaginable. From acne to wrinkles, oily skin, rosacea, large pores, eczema, redness, dry skin, and on and on, Paula's Choice offers a solution.
Paula's Choice Skincare stands apart from other cosmetics brands. The formulas contain only ingredients that have substantiated, published research showing they are beneficial and effective—so you get visible results. Stable packaging is another feature of the brand, using innovative, opaque, and air-tight or air-restrictive components that keep antioxidants and other light- and air-sensitive ingredients from breaking down. The line is also 100% fragrance-free, which is best for all skin types, especially for those with sensitive skin or rosacea.
Disclosure: Paula Begoun is the creator of Beautypedia and founder of Paula's Choice Skincare products. Reviewing thousands of skincare and makeup products over the past 30 years, both on this site and in her best-selling books, Paula's mission has always been to help consumers find the best products possible for their skin. The Beautypedia Team proudly and unequivocally maintains this commitment. In addition, The Beautypedia Team reviews all products using the same rating standards and criteria, whether it is a Paula's Choice product or another brand.
Why are all Paula's Choice Skincare products rated highly? The Paula's Choice Skincare Team would not launch a product unless it was worthy of a high rating from The Beautypedia Team. Paula and The Beautypedia Team were researching and reviewing products long before Paula's Choice Skincare ever existed and consumers were constantly requesting a skincare brand that met all of Beautypedia's criteria. As a result, The Paula's Choice Skincare Team was created and uses the same research and criteria to formulate Paula's Choice products as The Beautypedia Team uses to review products.
Strengths: All products are fragrance-free; uniquely formulated AHA and BHA products; effective skin-lightening options; toners that go beyond the norm; all sunscreens provide broad spectrum protection; proven anti-acne products; antioxidant-rich serums and moisturizers; anti-aging products that work as claimed.
Weaknesses: Does not offer a complete collection of makeup; makeup shade range isn't as extensive for darker skin tones; limited concealer options.

GoldenEye 007: Reloaded (Xbox 360) review
"Stages may feel generic, but they now flow in a more natural fashion and enemy placement was more carefully considered to provide interesting challenges. Its clear that youre going through the same motions you always did, but now those motions are more enjoyable. Late in the game, I was delighted to find that I actually enjoyed protecting Natalya when the need arose."

East Anglia: Mid Suffolk ranked as one of the most peaceful places to live in the country while Ipswich is one of the most violent
10:39 24 April 2013
(c) copyright citizenside.com
THE East of England is the second-most peaceful part of the country, a think-tank claims today.
A study by the Institute for Economics and Peace ranked Mid Suffolk among the top 25 most peaceful areas in England and Wales – but Ipswich was classed as one of the most violent places. The figures – based on murders, violence and crime weapon and public disorder crimes per 100,000 people over a 10-year period, as well as police numbers – were taken from recorded police crime tables sourced from the Home Office, the think-tank said.
Ipswich scored 3.588 out of five in the think-tank's chart, with five being the most violent, making it the worst area in the East of England and the 23rd most violent local authority out of 343 in England and Wales in 2012.
Only Manchester, Birmingham, Wolverhampton and a host of inner London boroughs were deemed more violent than Ipswich in the report, dubbed the UK Peace Index. The findings come just a day after Suffolk Police published a report showing crime figures had fallen for the seventh consecutive year in the county.
Mid Suffolk was ranked 25th most peaceful, with a low score of 1.424. Broadland, a borough which borders Norwich, was found to be the least violent in the country, with a score of 1.164. South-east London borough Lewisham was ranked the most violent, scoring 4.529.
Suffolk Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Tim Passmore questioned the validity of the report. "Surveys such as these are not always helpful as they focus on a very select group of statistics and can give a distorted view," he said. "I don't think anyone would really consider Ipswich to be one of the least peaceful places in the country.
"But as PCC I am committed to reducing crime and making Suffolk a safer place to live, work travel and invest. My focus is on the whole of Suffolk and Ipswich gets a higher level of the county's policing resources particularly in the evenings at the weekend and this is something we are seeking to address."
Ipswich Borough Council leader David Ellesmere said: "Ipswich is not worse than Liverpool. That's rubbish. The report is one of those things where you can prove anything with statistics."
Kate Biles, Victim Support Divisional Manager for Suffolk, said: "Even one case of crime is too many but if you are unfortunate to become a victim you can get help by calling Victim Supportline on 0845 30 30 900 or visiting our website at www.victimsupport.org.uk."

Just as the Vietnam War presented the United States with a series of challenges, it presents a unique challenge to teachers at all levels. The war had a deep and lasting impact on American culture, politics, and foreign policy. Still fraught with controversy, this crucial chapter of the American experience is as rich in teachable moments as it is riddled with potential pitfalls-especially for students a generation or more removed from the events themselves. Addressing this challenge, Understanding and Teaching the Vietnam Waroffers a wealth of resources for teachers at the secondary and university levels. An introductory section features essays by eminent Vietnam War scholars George Herring and Marilyn Young, who reflect on teaching developments since their first pioneering classes on the Vietnam War in the early 1970s. A methods section includes essays that address specific methods and materials and discuss the use of music and film, the White House tapes, oral histories, the Internet, and other multimedia to infuse fresh and innovative dimensions to teaching the war. A topical section offers essays that highlight creative and effective ways to teach important topics, drawing on recently available primary sources and exploring the war's most critical aspects-the Cold War, decolonization, Vietnamese perspectives, the French in Vietnam, the role of the Hmong, and the Tet Offensive. Every essay in the volume offers classroom-tested pedagogical strategies and detailed practical advice. Taken as a whole, Understanding and Teaching the Vietnam Warwill help teachers at all levels navigate through cultural touchstones, myths, political debates, and the myriad trouble spots enmeshed within the national memory of one of the most significant moments in American history.

more than lovely. blends with the lavender walls of the guest room.
Beautifully made. Much nicer than pictured.
This looks great in my purple themed master bath
The product looks lovely on the windows. the look you see on line is the look you will have at home. If the fabric were a little heavier I would have rated it a 5. It is a very good value for the price.
really love the way they look.very rich looking
I thought pearl would be more white than tan. Will return the item.
Very Disliked. Very Poor Grade!!! Do Not Recommend.
I love the way the products makes the room look.
I like it very much, but the sewing is poor. With being on the curtain rod, I am the only one that knows that there is a hole in the fabric, along with the poor sewing.
They were very--very hard to get them on the rod. Too tight. Had to make them over. Very disappointed in them.
Very pretty but one of the beads was torn almost off.
I truly love the valances in rose quartz.. They enhance the room with style and elegance.
Beautiful!! Needed something pink for living room to match couch.
This was not my first choice for a valance. I thought it was a little too femine for my living room. But we have an old victorian and they actually look quite sophisticated. Love the material, the color and and the style.
To match the bedspread purchased earlier.
The deep pocket was not wide enough and it tore trying to get the rod through. The valances are beautiful. Just need to be able to get them on the rod.
for my dining room that includes crystal chandeliers & sconces. Very elegant and different look for a valance
they are beautiful. Love the way they hang. Some threads left when sewed. love the fabric
This valance just didn't work for me - I have blinds in my room and you really need to order the long drapes along with the valance and 2 valances per window would be needed
Product matches the bedspread perfectly. Makes a lovely ensemble. Very happy with the purchase
I absolutey loved my valances. They are beautiful.
Very expensive valances to be so poorly made. I ordered 2 of these to hang on the same rod. One is an inch longer than the other one. It is totally unacceptable. I am in the process of sending them back and hope the next 2 will be better as I also ordered the bedspread.
When I opened the tuck valances, the color was perfect. I put one set up and they looked great. When I went to put the other valance on my other window, I noticed the top hem was not sewn. There is supposed to be a space for the curtain rod and then a hem above it, and there was not one. It is not finished. I will be returning both of them unfortunately. I do not think they did a very good job inspecting the items before mailing them to the customer.

Cheap, Orange-branded Android 2.1 smartphone now available in France
Not to be outdone by its European rivals T-Mobile and Vodafone, Orange seems set to launch a line of own-brand Android smartphones. We've seen the Boston already get official and heard rumors about Project JAL.
Today, in France, Orange is selling an Android smartphone branded Orange Tactile Internet. Whether or not this is the outcome of Project JAL is debatable, at least because the rumored photo of that looks nothing like the released handset.
The Tactile Internet is only €1 on new contracts, so seems like a very good deal for an entry-level smartphone.
If you're in France and are interested, here's a quick rundown of the specs:
- Android 2.1
- 2.8 " QVGA (240 x 320) touchscreen
- HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth, AGPS
- 3.2 MP camera, FM radio, 3.5 mm headset jack
- 256 MB internal memory, microSD card slot for expansion (2GB microSD card is included in the sales package)
- Dimensions: 107.5 x 57 x 13.8 mm

Aziz Ansari Talks About His Trader Joe's Homage
"Someone had a brown marker and they made it happen."
Last week, it was Lady Gaga telling Jimmy Kimmel about her meat dress, and last night Aziz Ansari stopped by the show and quickly touched on the Trader Joe's that co-opted some Parks and Recreation characters in order to sell its wares. But unlike a certain folk icon who can't deal with a grocery store's admiration, Ansari doesn't seem to mind. A good sport, that guy! Check out the clip below.

Target Verification
By Antony Reynolds-Oracle on May 21, 2013
Verifying the Target
I just built a combined OSB, SOA/BPM, BAM clustered domain. The biggest hassle is validating that the resource targeting is correct. There is a great appendix in the documentation that lists all the modules and resources with their associated targets. The only problem is that the appendix is six pages of small print. I manually went through the first page, verifying my targeting, until I thought 'there must be a better way of doing this'. So this blog post is the better way
WLST to the Rescue
WebLogic Scripting Tool allows us to query the MBeans and discover what resources are deployed and where they are targeted. So I built a script that iterates over each of the following resource types and verifies that they are correctly targeted:
- Applications
- Libraries
- Startup Classes
- Shutdown Classes
- JMS System Resources
- WLDF System Resources
Source Data
To get the data to verify my domain against, I copied the tables from the documentation into a text file. The copy ended up putting the resource on the first line and the targets on the second line. Rather than reformat the data I just read the lines in pairs, storing the resource as a string and splitting apart the targets into a list of strings. I then stored the data in a dictionary with the resource string as the key and the target list as the value. The code to do this is shown below:
# Load resource and target data from file created from documentation
# File format is a one line with resource name followed by
# one line with comma separated list of targets
# fileIn - Resource & Target File
# accum - Dictionary containing mappings of expected Resource to Target
# returns - Dictionary mapping expected Resource to expected Target
def parseFile(fileIn, accum) :
# Load resource name
line1 = fileIn.readline().strip('\n')
if line1 == '':
# Done if no more resources
return accum
# Load list of targets
line2 = fileIn.readline().strip('\n')
# Convert string to list of targets
targetList = map(fixTargetName, line2.split(','))
# Associate resource with list of targets in dictionary
accum[line1] = targetList
# Parse remainder of file
return parseFile(fileIn, accum)
This makes it very easy to update the lists by just copying and pasting from the documentation.
Each table in the documentation has a corresponding file that is used by the script.
The data read from the file has the target names mapped to the actual domain target names which are provided in a properties file.
Listing & Verifying the Resources & Targets
Within the script I move to the domain configuration MBean and then iterate over the resources deployed and for each resource iterate over the targets, validating them against the corresponding targets read from the file as shown below:
# Validate that resources are correctly targeted
# name - Name of Resource Type
# filename - Filename to validate against
# items - List of Resources to be validated
def validateDeployments(name, filename, items) :
print name+' Check'
print "====================================================="
fList = loadFile(filename)
# Iterate over resources
for item in items:
# Get expected targets for resource
itemCheckList = fList[item.getName()]
# Iterate over actual targets
for target in item.getTargets() :
# Remove actual target from expected targets
except ValueError:
# Target not found in expected targets
print 'Extra target: '+item.getName()+': '+target.getName()
# Iterate over remaining expected targets, if any
for refTarget in itemCheckList:
print 'Missing target: '+item.getName()+': '+refTarget
except KeyError:
# Resource not found in expected resource dictionary
print 'Extra '+name+' Deployed: '+item.getName()
Obtaining the Script
To install just unzip VerifyTargets.zip. It will create the following files
- verifyTargets.sh
- verifyTargets.properties
- VerifyTargetsScriptInstructions.pdf
- scripts/verifyTargets.py
- scripts/verifyApps.txt
- scripts/verifyLibs.txt
- scripts/verifyStartup.txt
- scripts/verifyShutdown.txt
- scripts/verifyJMS.txt
- scripts/verifyWLDF.txt
Sample Output
The following is sample output from running the script:
Application Check
Extra Application Deployed: frevvo
Missing target: usermessagingdriver-xmpp: optional
Missing target: usermessagingdriver-smpp: optional
Missing target: usermessagingdriver-voicexml: optional
Missing target: usermessagingdriver-extension: optional
Extra target: Healthcare UI: soa_cluster
Missing target: Healthcare UI: SOA_Cluster ??
Extra Application Deployed: OWSM Policy Support in OSB Initializer Aplication
Library Check
Extra Library Deployed: oracle.bi.adf.model.slib#1.0-AT-11.1-DOT-1.2-DOT-0
Extra target: oracle.bpm.mgmt#11.1-DOT-1-AT-11.1-DOT-1: AdminServer
Missing target: oracle.bpm.mgmt#11.1.1-AT-11.1.1: soa_cluster
Extra target: oracle.sdp.messaging#11.1.1-AT-11.1.1: bam_cluster
StartupClass Check
ShutdownClass Check
JMS Resource Check
Missing target: configwiz-jms: bam_cluster
WLDF Resource Check
Since posting this I have discovered a number of issues. I have updated the configuration files to correct these problems. The changes made are as follows:
- Added WLS_OSB1 server mapping to the script properties file (verifyTargets.properties) to accommodate OSB singletons and modified script (verifyTargets.py) to use the new property.
- Changes to verifyApplications.txt
- Changed target from OSB_Cluster to WLS_OSB1 for the following applications:
- ALSB Cluster Singleton Marker Application
- ALSB Domain Singleton Marker Application
- Message Reporting Purger
- Added following application and targeted at SOA_Cluster
- frevvo
- Adding following application and targeted at OSB_Cluster & Admin Server
- OWSM Policy Support in OSB Initializer Aplication
- Changed target from OSB_Cluster to WLS_OSB1 for the following applications:
- Changes to verifyLibraries.txt
- Adding following library and targeted at OSB_Cluster, SOA_Cluster, BAM_Cluster & Admin Server
- oracle.bi.adf.model.slib#1.0-AT-22.214.171.124-DOT-0
- Modified targeting of following library to include BAM_Cluster
- oracle.sdp.messaging#11.1.1-AT-11.1.1
- Adding following library and targeted at OSB_Cluster, SOA_Cluster, BAM_Cluster & Admin Server

Coping with Failure
By Antony Reynolds-Oracle on Sep 22, 2011
Handling Endpoint Failure in OSB
Recently I was working on a POC and we had demonstrated stellar performance with OSB fronting a BPEL composite calling back end EJBs. The final test was a failover test which tested killing an OSB and bringing it back online and then killing a SOA(BPEL) server and bringing it back online and finally killing a backend EJB server and bringing it back online. All was going well until the BPEL failover test when for some reason OSB refused to mark the BPEL server as down. Turns out we had forgotten to set a very important setting and so this entry outlines how to handle endpoint failure in OSB.
Step 1 – Add Multiple End Points to Business Service
The first thing to do is create multiple end points for the business service, pointing to all available backends. This is required for HTTP/SOAP bindings. In theory if using a T3 protocol then a single cluster address is sufficient and load balancing will be taken care of by T3 smart proxies. In this scenario though we will focus on HTTP/SOAP endpoints.
Navigate to the Business Service->Configuration Details->Transport Configuration and add all your endpoint URIs. Make sure that Retry Count is greater than 0 if you don't want to pass failures back to the client. In the example below I have set up links to three back end webs service instances. Go to Last and Save the changes.
Step 2 – Enable Offlining & Recovery of Endpoint URIs
When a back end service instance fails we want to take it offline, meaning we want to remove it from the pool of instances to which OSB will route requests. We do this by navigating to the Business Service->Operational Settings and selecting the Enable check box for Offline Endpoint URIs in the General Configuration section. This causes OSB to stop routing requests to a backend that returns errors (if the transport setting Retry Application Errors is set) or fails to respond at all.
Offlining the service is good because we won't send any more requests to a broken endpoint, but we also want to add the endpoint again when it becomes available. We do this by setting the Enable with Retry Interval in General Configuration to some non-zero value, such as 30 seconds. Then every 30 seconds OSB will add the failed service endpoint back into the list of endpoints. If the endpoint is still not ready to accept requests then it will error again and be removed again from the list. In the example below I have set up a 30 second retry interval. Remember to hit update and then commit all the session changes.
Considerations on Retry Count
A couple of things to be aware of on retry count.
If you set retry count to greater than zero then endpoint failures will be transparent to OSB clients, other than the additional delay they experience. However if the request is mutative (changes the backend) then there is no guarantee that the request might not have been executed but the endpoint failed before turning the result, in which case you submit the mutative operation twice. If your back end service can't cope with this then don't set retries.
If your back-end service can't cope with retries then you can still get the benefit of transparent retries for non-mutative operations by creating two business services, one with retry enabled that handles non-mutative requests, and the other with retry set to zero that handles mutative requests.
Considerations on Retry Interval for Offline Endpoints
If you set the retry interval to too small a value then it is very likely that your failed endpoint will not have recovered and so you will waste time on a request failing to contact that endpoint before failing over to a new endpoint, this will increase the client response time. Work out what would be a typical unplanned outage time for a node (such as caused by a JVM failure and subsequent restart) and set the retry interval to be say half of this as a comprise between causing additional client response time delays and adding the endpoint back into the mix as soon as possible.
Always remember to set the Operational Setting to Enable Offlining and then you won't be surprised in a fail over test!

Blackboard Scholar is built right into the Blackboard Learning System, for easy integration of relevant, reliable resources and dynamic streams from Scholar, directly into the course.
There are two ways Blackboard instructors can integrate Scholar resources directly into the course environment:
Scholar Course Tool - You can display customized Scholar resource collections as a new course tool. You can allow students to contribute to a course collection or set up custom streams to pull anything tagged with search parameters of your choice. (e.g. the most recent bookmarks tagged with DNA and discipline tagged with Nursing saved by instructors). Students in the course can access the Scholar Course Welcome Page by clicking the Scholar course tool and begin using the resources in their studies right away.
Course Documents Type - You can embed one of your Scholar Bookmarks or Saved Searches directly in the course as a new type of Course Documents.
Once the instructor has registered your course with Scholar, you can access Scholar resources that your instructor has chosen directly within your course. And now students can contribute to course collections as well! When you find appropriate resources, you can tag them for the course and dynamically add them to the course collection!

So I've been looking for a secondary pistol that can be my BUG as well as my EDC when I don't feel like lugging around an all steel fullsize 1911.
I looked at the LCP the Kimber Solo Carry (a display model at my LGS), the P-3AT, the Kahr line-up, the Diamondback DB380, the Bersa Thunder 380, the Sig P238...pretty much any pocket pistol I could get my hands on. The LCP felt nice, but I don't really want to stake my life on a .380.
Next I tried all the currently available 9mm pistols that fit my criteria of being able to be pocket carried; I'm a 21 year old college student, so my fashionable jeans have pockets that can easily swallow my dad's Bersa Thunder 380. So that being said, my definition of a pocket pistol is substantially different than most people's definition. Anyways, I tried the PF-9, the Walther PPS, and anything else that looked good, but each had something that I didn't like. I also looked at the J-frame revolvers, but wheel guns just aren't my thing yet.
Now, just as I was about to give up, an employee at the other LGS I go to suggested I take a look at the Glock 30 and Glock 30SF. They were awful feeling in my hand, though the 30SF almost fit the bill; and as I was begrudging the two Glocks something caught my eye: the Glock 36. It was at this point that I was assimilated into the Glock collective. I can't describe it, but it's the only other pistol that I have ever held that feels as natural in my hands as my 1911! It also fit easily into the front pocket of the jeans I was wearing, which just so happen to be the jeans with the shallowest pockets.
I'm going to be saving up for it over the next couple of months. How do you guys like the G36?
My only question is are there any floorplates that expand the capacity?


text: "'What's happening now in the Islamic community is very similar to what was happening in the 1920s and '30s…with the Jewish community.'" No, not persecution. Cultural assimilation, via the Boy Scouts of America, the requirements of which — an adherence to faith and what director of the organization's relationship describes as religious ideas, such as being clean, helpful, obedient and trustworthy — Washington Post reporter Tara Bahrampour says are both attractive to Muslim parents and helpful to Muslim kids who feel torn between their religious background and American culture. Besides, Bahrampour notes, scouting doesn't just help integrate the kids, but photogenic Muslim Girl Scouts can also help national P.R. campaigns "'show Muslims as regular people.'" Cynicism for pre-holiday feel-good stories aside, what does it mean that the story, and to some extent the Scout's policies, seem to enforce an understanding of diversity that encourages faith, in any form, as an uncomplicated good, but is less open to "cultural" traditions of the secular sort — like headscarves or other potentially alienating dress — that can't be folded into the melting pot so easily and should therefore perhaps be abandoned. Is it just the common, current veneration for all expressions of "faith," or a sort of token acceptance of faith differences that passes for diversity?

A new report released by New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli confirmed yet again that the cost of living is high in New York City, several media outlets reported on Tuesday.
Although housing affordability is a statewide issue, income and housing costs tend to be higher in the New York City metropolitan area, according to the report, released on March 10.
In the Bronx, 57.6 percent of rental households were above the affordability threshold, which the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development defined as 30 percent of household income.
The percentages of rental households above the affordability threshold for Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island and Manhattan were 53.7 percent, 52.5 percent, 48.8 percent and 44.4 percent, respectively.
The report comes just as New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has been pushing forward his affordable housing agenda. His plan would create or preserve 200,000 affordable homes and apartments over 10 years.
In a speech at the end of May, de Blasio referred to income inequality in New York City as "a tale of two cities."
"Hop on the 2 train at Chambers Street, home to many Wall Street bankers, and head North, one stop, to 14th Street," he said. "The average income at your destination is less than half of what it was from where you boarded."
He added, "Go five more stops to 110th Street, and average income is less than 20 percent of what it was at Chambers Street. Four more stops to 149th Street in the Bronx, and that figure slips to 8 percent."
In early February, de Blasio announced his appointments of Alicia Glen as deputy mayor for housing and economic development; Vicki Been as head of the Department of Housing Preservation and Development; Shola Olatoye as chair of the New York City Housing Authority; and Gary D. Rodney as president of the Housing Development Corporation.
Some housing advocates expressed concerns that de Blasio's affordable housing plan might overwhelm neighborhoods after the City Planning Commission approved a $1.5 billion project on the site of the former Domino sugar plant in Williamsburg, the New York Daily News reported.
In 2012, more than 3 million households in New York State had housing costs that were either at or above the affordability threshold, the report stated. Of those households, more than 1.5 million households spent 50 percent or more of their income on housing costs.

In issue number 37 we already talked about auralisation, the use of sound to represent information. There we spoke aboutearcons, brief audio fragments that signal certain events (a program error, for example).
Here we are more interested in the visualisation of music related information and with the visualisation of music itself than in the use of music to "hear" and ascertain the underlying patterns in information.
Music visualisation has several aspects of interest regarding the use that one can give to them:
Visual Entertainment
Search for musical similarities.
Visualisation of the musical structure
Music is an integral part of our life.. As it happens with so many other things, computers and Internet have changed our relationship with it. Maybe not in the deeper aspects of it, i.e. the transmission or, better said, the evocation of feelings, but in the accessibility to it and in the understanding of its structure.
Now we can also "see" the music in the structure of a song and in its relationships with the other songs.

NeuroPace snags $18M for epilepsy implant
|NeuroPace raised $18 million to support its RNS device.--Courtesy of NeuroPace
California's NeuroPace raised $18 million of a sought-after $50 million in its latest funding round, cash that should help speed along the path to market for its anti-epilepsy neurostimulation device.
NeuroPace is in the midst of an FDA application for RNS, a device implanted subcutaneously on the skull, sensing changes in brain activity that indicate oncoming seizures and delivering pulses of electrical stimulation to suppress symptoms before they can affect patients.
In its latest SEC filing, NeuroPace didn't reveal who pitched in to the $18 million raise, but its past investors include New Enterprise Associates, InterWest Partners and Johnson & Johnson ($JNJ). The company has raised about $180 million total since its foundation in 1997, the Silicon Valley Business Journal notes.
Now, with cash on hand and a clear road to the U.S. market, NeuroPace is that much closer to launching RNS and reaping the benefits of its years of development.
In February, NeuroPace won a unanimous vote from the FDA's neurological devices panel, turning in study data on 191 patients in which the device lowered rates of seizure by 37.9%. The panel recommended full approval for the device, suggesting NeuroPace conduct two post-market studies on RNS to better identify the patient populations that would benefit from the device.

Java ME technology cheat sheet
By Hinkmond-Oracle on Nov 15, 2006
Click on the image on the left to get a cheat sheet comparison chart of Java ME (phoneME advanced vs. feature) vs. Java SE APIs. Keep this in your pocket. Yes, it will be on the Java ME Open Source final exam... You've been warned! :-)
Q: What is phoneME Advanced? A: It's CDC, of course!
There's a sign in a popular local falafel joint called Vivi's Restaurant in Cupertino, Calif. on Stevens Creek Blvd. (not far from Apple headquarters and our old JavaSoft office buildings) that has a caricature of the chef saying something like, "He vants to know the difference between a Falafel and Deluxe Falafel." Everyone in Silicon Valley knows the answer of course: "Olives".
So, whenenver anyone asks me the difference between phoneME Feature and phoneME Advanced, I say "Olives". I get a lot of blank stares...
