'Rudolph' shines in faithful First Stage show
To every mother's child wondering whether reindeer really know how to fly, I'm offering this simple phrase, applicable to kids from 1 to 92: Head downtown, where the soaring new production of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" at First Stage Children's Theater will put all doubts to rest.
Reprising the formula that made First Stage's 2010 production of "Peter Pan and Wendy" a resounding success, director Jeff Frank and his production team achieve liftoff the old-fashioned way: by relying on flesh-and-blood human beings to do what machines cannot. »Read Full Article
Next Act Theatre explores truth in lies in 'Perfect Mendacity'
Are Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden traitors or patriots? Can doing the right thing involve breaking the law? And can one lie to tell the truth?
These are among the questions on the table in Jason Wells' "Perfect Mendacity," a broad satire now on stage at Next Act Theatre under David Cecsarini's direction. »Read Full Article
Drink, meet dish, Part 2: A smart Cocktail Week menu at c.1880
I rarely have room in my schedule to attend special pairing dinners, those multicourse events that match dishes with wine, beer or cocktails. But I love 'em; it's such a pleasure to see chefs unleash their creativity and to hear what went into the making of a dish and the spirit, and taste how the food and drink relate.
For the inaugural Milwaukee Cocktail Week, c.1880 in Walker's Point is serving a five-course menu on Monday with drinks made with Great Lakes Distillery spirits. It opens with a riff on a Bloody Mary, in food and drink: »Read Full Blog Post
Big finish, ovation for Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra opener
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra's season-opening concert Friday night at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts led to a big finish and an equally big ovation.
The orchestra, led by former music director Andreas Delfs and joined by pianist Jeremy Denk, opened with Aaron Jay Kernis' introspective "Musica Celestis" (Heavenly Music) for string orchestra. »Read Full Article(1)
Skylight takes Beethoven to Bollywood with ferocious 'Fidelio'
The Skylight Music Theatre doesn't have an official mascot, but it might think about borrowing the giant tiger Raghava KK designed for its "Fidelio." The feline could serve as a fitting avatar for the ferocious vitality new artistic director Viswa Subbaraman is bringing to the Skylight.
Subbaraman and his creative team infused this production of Beethoven's only opera with a set design, costumes, movements and gestures drawn from Indian culture and Bollywood. They brought color and movement to an opera that could easily be static on stage, and a liveliness of spirit to a show that could come across as a bit preachy, with its brotherhood-of-man lyrics, while sacrificing nothing musically. »Read Full Article(2)

News from Upstate
Darryl Geddes 315 464-4828
Upstate surgeon to head regional vascular society
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Vivian Gahtan, M.D., who holds an endowed professorship at Upstate Medical University and serves as chief of division of vascular surgery and endovascular services at Upstate University Hospital, will be the first woman ever to head the largest regional vascular society in the United States when she becomes president of the Eastern Vascular Society (EVS) in October 2011.
Gahtan was nominated at the organization's annual meeting Oct. 1 to serve as president-elect of the EVS through 2011, and as president from 2011 to 2012.
The Eastern Vascular Society is the largest regional vascular society in the US with over 575 members who are primarily vascular surgeons representing both major academic medical centers and community hospitals in the eastern United States and Canada. The society seeks to promote the exchange of scientific and technologic advances among its members.
Gahtan, the Lloyd S. Rogers Professor of Surgery at Upstate, is a director of the Vascular Surgery Board of the American Board of Surgery. She is a former president of the Association of Women Surgeons. She specializes in surgery to treat aortic aneurysms, carotid artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, varicose veins, diabetic foot problems, and dialysis access needs. In addition to her clinical work, Gahtan maintains a significant research agenda with federal grant funding from the Veterans Administration.
Gahtan, who joined the Upstate faculty in 2003, resides in Jamesville.

Adrian Grenier
Adrian Grenier is the star of Entourage. What a hunk. He's been linked with many stars, such as Lindsay Lohan, similar to his character...
Entourage Movie Trailer Released! Watch Now!
Get ready to bro down with Vince and his crew of lackeys one more time!
After years of rumors, speculation, and high-profile contract squabbles, the Entourage movie is in the can, and the the first trailer is generating more excitement amongst aging frat boys than a new scent from Axe body spray:
Courtney Robertson on Adrian Grenier's Penis: It's HUGE!
Courtney Robertson has written a book for some reason.
It's titled "I Didn't Come Here to Make Friends: Confessions of a Reality Show Villain!" and it chronicles an interesting few years for the former Bachelor suitor.
Ashley Greene: Not in Adrian Grenier's Entourage
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are reportedly obsessed with each other.
According to Ashley Greene, though, the same can't be said for her and Adrian Grenier.
New Couple Alert: Adrian Grenier and Ashley Greene!
Sorry, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
But another Twilight star is featured in today's romance rumor mill.
Adrian Grenier and Kevin Connolly Catch Up on the News
On HBO's Entourage, the characters played by Adrian Grenier and Kevin Connolly typically make their own news as an actor and his manager, respectively.
During a break in filming season five, though, the stars caught up on the latest happenings, courtesy of The New York Post.
Lindsay Lohan is Now Having Sex with Adrian Grenier
Lindsay Lohan has returned to America.
And she's brought her sexual appetite from Italy with her.
Adrian Grenier... in Spandex!
After publishing photos of Britney Spears with no pants and Lucy Pinder naked, we figured it was time to do something for the ladies:
So here's a picture of Entourage stud Adrian Grenier. And he's wearing skin-tight spandex! Swoon.
Celebrity Gossip Rumor: Paris Hilton in Adrian Grenier's Naked Entourage
Please tell us this isn't so. You can do so much better, Vincent Chase.
By the looks of this photo, Paris Hilton (and her ever-increasing boobs) have been getting awfully chummy with Entourage star, Adrian Grenier.
Hot Couple Alert: Adrian Grenier and Melissa Keller
Tyler Atkins and Paris Hilton continue to be pushed out of the celebrity news headlines.
But we find this couple to be far more attractive and far less awful: Adrian Grenier has been dating Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Melissa Keller off and on for about two years.
Adrian Grenier Talks About Reuniting With Father
Every Father's Day for years, Adrian Grenier would pick up the phone and call his mom, Karesse.
"Growing up, she was both a mother and father to me," he said.
Kirsten Dunst is one wild, single gal these days. According to the New York Daily News, Jake Gyllenhaal's ex has been trying to drown her sorrows by living it up - and she certainly gets an "A" for effort, if you know what we're saying.
We're saying she's been linked to three gentlemen whose first names start with "A." All of them have some seriously shaggy hair, too!

Shuttle Service zu Ferry 10 Dollar. Lieber mit dem Bus zu Ferry für 2,30 Dollar. Küche war gut Ausgestattet. Mitarbeiter waren freundlich. Leider gab es keinen Trockner. Hostel war abends sehr ruhig - fast schon unheimlich. Kein freies Wifi. Meiner Meinung nach stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht.

One of the stranger places I've stayed in around the world. The couple who checked me in left that evening, and the hostel was left to the German traveller who worked there. The new manager turned up next day and didn't really seem to know what was going on (asking us if we'd paid for our room yet). The facilities are great though - 2 kitchens to use, and large tv and dining areas. The bus stop for the island is only a minute away, and I got a free pick up from the ferry port!

Lovely place to stay on the island. Great for meeting people and to chill. Just on the beach front and the staff are amazing. It is a bit expensive though... If I'm paying 35AU$ for a dorm I'd expect to be able to wash my clothes for free and have access to wifi.

Amazing staff!! Everybody spread the word about these people, they would go over mountains to help you and make sure you have a good time. Never had that good experience with guesthouse people. Really clean rooms and bathroom, good airco. Only thing is that there are not much other people, so for travellers by them self it's good for relaxing, not for meeting new people. Amazing stay! 5 stars!!

Clean welcoming hostel. No bunk beds and there's an oven! Car hire is fantastic value for money. The couple that ran Arcadia are the kindest people i met on my travels, when i had an emergency and had to leave early they did everything they could to help me and make sure i was ok! Would definitely reccommend this hostel! Thanks!

I'm testing LGW on my WAMP localhost server (Apache 2.2.17, PHP 5.3.5, bundled GD2) and the settings aren't behaving as expected.
Regardless of what transparency value or font size I pick, it all ends up the same on the actual images: about 10% transparent and about 10px font size. The Preview image shows what I expect but that's not what I get.
If I choose Cover for the placement, it does resize the font appropriately but is still only about 10% transparent. Only the colors seem to consistently come out as expected.
Is this a Windows issue or maybe a GD2 version issue? There aren't any errors in the server log.

I'd like to backup the state of my system. It only runs Manjaro.
What I've done in the past when I need to install something else on the machine temporarily is just to
dd the whole drive to a file and then back again when I want to restore it.
However, that doesn't really make sense this time, because the whole root filesystem only has 17gb in use. My question is this: could I
- boot from a linux live usb
- mount my root filesystem (
sda2) somewhere
- copy all of its contents to external media
- install windows
- do what i need to with windows
- boot another live linux system.
- repartition the drive, format the largest partition as ext4
- restore the original volume contents to the drive
- boot up again
And have it work as it did before I backed it up? Would it be basically functionally equivalent to the
dd approach?
Would I be missing an MBR, still? Would this be remedied by simply setting the new partition to "boot" in gparted when partitioning? Any other caveats?

DENVER -- Kyle Leach defeated Rickie Fowler 2 and 1 in third-round match play Thursday to advance to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Amateur Public Links.
"I beat the top United State's amateur," Leach said. "It's overwhelming."
Leach of Louisville, Ky., earned a shot at Fowler by beating Scott Langley, 1-up earlier in the day.
"I went out and stuck to my game," said Leach, a junior to be at Bellarmine University in Louisville. "My putter was great and I made a lot of putts."
Leach said the key putt came at No. 13 when he hit a 10-footer for bogey to win the hole. Fowler missed an 8-foot bogey putt.
"I expect myself to win everything," said Fowler, who plays for Oklahoma State. "So it's a letdown when I lose or get second."
In the morning, Fowler didn't play his best, but still defeated last year's runner-up, Cody Paladino, 4 and 3. Fowler was 1-up at the turn, and won the 11th hole with a par and birdied the 12th with a short putt.
"I felt like I'm getting my game together," Fowler said. "I had a few mistakes in the first two matches, but started playing well at the end."
Corey Nagy, seeded fifth, from Charlotte, was the only top-seeded golfer to advance to the quarterfinals. Nagy defeated Grant Leaver of Centerville. Tenn., 2 and 1.
Tenth-seed Andy Winings, from Brownsburg, Ind., missed making the quarterfinals, losing 3 and 2 to David Johnson of Palm Bay, Fla., in a third-round match.
The other quarterfinalists are Cason Hammock, Columbus, Ga.; Randall Hutchison, Traverse City, Mich.; Jack Newman, Des Moines, Iowa; Jeff Dennis, Jacksonville, Fla.; and John Chin, Temecula, Calif.
Two top 10-seeded golfers were eliminated in second-round matches. Fourth seed Brian Locke, Los Angeles, lost 2 and 1 to Kelly Kretz, Antigo, Wis.., and David Johnson beat No. 7 Jon McLean, Weston, Fla., 1-up.
Brady Johnson, Mill Bay, British Columbia, was beaten 3 and 2 by Hammock in a morning match. The loss came a day after Johnson had knocked out medalist Aaron Goldberg.

Wisconsin-Green Bay coach Brian Wardle was called into a meeting in April and handed a letter accusing him of verbal abuse and mistreating his players.
"It was hard to read," Wardle said in an exclusive interview by phone Friday afternoon. "I swore I would cooperate with the investigation, be quiet and let the process play out. I sat there knowing the truth would come out one day and felt confident in the person and coach that I am. I'm a demanding head coach, not demeaning. I'm demanding, not demeaning."
Wardle's patience paid off. An exhaustive independent investigation by local attorney Joseph Nicks determined that Wardle was guilty of using inappropriate language, but not of forcing former walk-on Ryan Bross to continue a running drill and ignoring him when he complained he was ill and later defecated on himself.
Wardle will remain UW-Green Bay's coach, the school announced Friday. The story made national headlines, coming just weeks after Rutgers fired men's basketball coach Mike Rice and his assistant, Jimmy Martelli, after evidence obtained by ESPN showed Rice committing physical and verbal abuse.
Nicks put together a 39-page report that was released Friday. Chancellor Tom Harden did what Rutgers did not, immediately going outside the university to conduct an investigation. Wardle praised Harden and UWGB athletic director Ken Bothof for their support.
"I totally understand the chancellor's decision supported the university during the investigation," said Wardle. "I thought it was a very smart decision."
The report concluded Wardle should have sent Bross back to the locker room earlier during the drill, but that he did not humiliate him in front of teammates. The report does indicate that certain inappropriate words were used; as a result, Wardle will have an adviser with him next season to monitor how he motivates his players.
He also will have a disciplinary letter put in his file for the use of vulgar and obscene language and for his "suggestion that a player have sex." At this point, his contract won't be extended beyond its current end date of 2017. But Harden said future extensions still could be done.
"I've learned that the coaching climate has changed," Wardle said. "You have to be willing to make tweaks out of your coaching style to get the most out of every kid. I know it has changed the last 10 years. But you've got to make those tweaks. Now I know."
Wardle, 33, leaned heavily on his wife, Lecia, a former soccer player at Marquette, whom he met when he was a member of Tom Crean's staff at Marquette.
"My main concern was my family, my 6-year-old, my 3-year-old, my 1-year-old, my parents in the Chicagoland area, the program, the administration, all of them," Wardle said. "I had to keep positive. We signed a player during this time, we got a commitment. I knew we could work through this. It was hard not to defend myself. I've been in Green Bay the last eight years as an assistant and head coach. I knew that people knew my character. I knew they thought I was trustworthy. [The allegations] were inconsistent with who I am and how I act."
Wardle said Crean, now the coach at Indiana, was a tremendous asset during the month-long investigation.
"I was never worried about what they were going to find, never," Crean told ESPN.com Friday. "I told him to stay true to yourself, to your family. You know how your players view you and how strong your relationship is with them."
Crean said his biggest concern was ensuring Wardle had the right attorney to help him navigate the investigation.
"I'm sick over him and his family having to go through this," Crean said. "In the same vein, he will be better for it and will learn a ton about people and their agendas and that will serve him well. I appreciate people supported him and the truth came out."
Wardle said the episode was hard to deal with, but he did his best to be patient.
"There's nothing you can do about it," he said. "What I knew was how I respond from this day forward is what matters. My goal is to make sure everyone is proud of Green Bay basketball and show them this year and years to come what we can do. I'm proud of what we've done here."
Wardle said his practices are open and he will remain accessible.
But, as he said, he will have to tweak his approach a bit. He said he knew that his case would be viewed in a different light because of the Rutgers situation, but he was confident in the truth.
"I learned that in coaching moments, when things are heated and emotional and competitive in practice, the things you say can make a difference to a young man," Wardle said. "I'm conscious of that now and I will correct them.
"I knew that once these allegations were made about me, I knew that I hadn't acted like that. Obviously physical abuse you can't do and verbal abuse cannot be done to these young men. Social media makes everything instantaneous. It can become a national story. I believe I'm not a perfect coach. I've grown, though, and over time my character will stand the test of time."

Me and DH enjoyed this recipe so much. It's great with the steak seasoning. Thanks hungrykitten :) Made for cookbook tag game
I made these using only very crude measurements and they still turned out nicely. As long as the oil is coating the potatoes, you probably have enough. They got crispy but stayed soft and fluffy inside. I sprayed the foil before putting the potatoes on because the last time they stuck and tore the foil, even with the olive oil. Easy and delicious food!

Dmitry Lovetsky, Associated Press
DONETSK, Ukraine — Fighting raged Sunday on the western outskirts of Donetsk as the advancing Ukrainian army tried to seize control of the rebel stronghold. In danger of being encircled, the separatists renewed their calls for Russia to send troops to their aid.
To support their operations, the pro-Russian fighters have been confiscating vehicles and food from residents and businesses in Donetsk. The center of the major industrial city is all but deserted, with few people or cars on the streets and most stores and restaurants closed.
A spokesman for the Ukrainian military operation, Alexei Dmitrashkovsky, told The Associated Press that government soldiers were fighting Sunday to hold positions they had taken on the edge of Donetsk, but were meeting resistance.
In the part of the city closest to the fighting, an artillery shell hit a school overnight, but no one was reported hurt.
"The shell went through the roof and exploded inside the building, setting off a fire, but we still don't know who fired it," said Dmitry Levonchik, a 45-year-old coal miner. "Who needs this war? What are they fighting for?"
The sound of gunfire and explosions was heard just to the west.
Pavel Gubarev, the self-proclaimed governor of the separatist Donetsk region, said the rebels would win quickly if Russia sent troops.
"Of course it would be great to see Russian peacekeepers here: strong artillery units, tank brigades," Gubarev said. "This war would be over in a day, maybe two."
Ukraine and the West say they have evidence that Russia is arming the separatists. Russia denies this and describes the Russian citizens fighting in eastern Ukraine as volunteers.
The conflict began after the Moscow-leaning president was ousted in February following months of street protests and a new pro-Western government took power in Kiev. Alarmed by the prospect of Ukraine moving closer to the European Union and NATO, Russian President Vladimir Putin fomented the pro-Russia insurgency in the mostly Russian-speaking east with the apparent aim of winning an agreement that would allow Moscow to maintain its influence in Ukraine.
If he is unable to win such a compromise and the Ukrainian army continues to take back rebel-held cities and towns, Putin may come under increased pressure to intervene militarily.
Many Donetsk residents have counted on help from Russia.
"What is Putin waiting for? He inspired us to fight," said Ilya Sumyatin, a 38-year-old separatist fighter. "We had hoped for help from Russia, but we have been abandoned. Our strength is nearing an end and the Ukrainian army is advancing."
The separatist fighters in Donetsk have proclaimed the right to confiscate any "strategically important resources" to support their operations.
On Sunday, a major trucking company that delivers to grocery stores said it was suspending its operations in Donetsk after rebel fighters raided its warehouses. The company, Deliveri, said in a statement on its website that the goods stolen Saturday evening were worth about $840,000.
Viktor Okhramovich, who drives a minibus taxi, said the separatists seized his vehicle. "What am I supposed to do? I have nowhere to go to complain," he said.
With the Ukrainian army approaching the city, many Donetsk residents have become reluctant to express support for the rebel fighters.
"Donetsk has turned into a dark hole where you can be taken prisoner, robbed, killed or have your home destroyed," said Inna Statsenko, a 52-year-old bank employee, who said she once supported the separatists.

ATLANTA — Bobby Petrino was hired as football coach at Western Kentucky, eight months after being fired from the job at Arkansas following a motorcycle crash that injured him and a 25-year-old female staff member.
Petrino, 51, succeeds Willie Taggart, who left the Hilltoppers last week to become coach at South Florida. Western Kentucky was 7-5 this season and is playing Central Michigan in the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl in Detroit on Dec. 26.
The hiring was announced in a statement on the Hilltopppers' website.
Petrino was fired by Arkansas in April after he was injured in the accident and then covered up the fact that Jessica Dorrell, a member of his staff, was a passenger.
He later acknowledged having an "inappropriate relationship" with Dorrell and giving her about $20,000 worth of gifts. Dorrell resigned from her job a week after the accident.
Petrino had a 34-17 record in four seasons at Arkansas, leading the Razorbacks to a Cotton Bowl win over Kansas State. He joined the school in 2007 after leaving the National Football League's Atlanta Falcons 13 games into the season.
Arkansas hired John L. Smith to succeed Petrino and went 4-8, including 2-6 in the Southeastern Conference. Smith was replaced last week by Bret Bielema, who led Wisconsin to three consecutive Big Ten conference titles.

Woman indicted for distributing heroinApril 29,2014Woman indicted for
distributing heroin
A 22-year-old Massachusetts woman has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges she sold hundreds of bags of heroin in southeastern Vermont.
The U.S. attorneys office said that Friday a not guilty plea was entered on behalf of Seanna Krasin of Holyoke, Mass.
She was indicted on two counts of heroin distribution.
Court records said the Vermont Drug Task Force used a confidential informant to buy 250 bags of heroin from Krasin in Springfield on April 7 and on April 10, 800 bags.
Prosecutors said the investigation found that between November and her arrest on April 10 she sold between 6,000 and 8,000 bags in Vermont.
Krasin was released on conditions.

This us a good, no frills foundation.
The palest shade is perfect for my NC10 skin and applies well. A little goes a long way, and coverage is light to medium.
It doesn't do anything particularly spectacular, but in a weird way I respect this. It isn't made with crushed pearls or slathered on a celebrity. It's a well priced, solid performer. It gives a good base and smooths everything out. Stays on well. Doesn't break me out. It's just a solid delivery of the basic things you need.
Avon always have offers on (check out their cream to powder foundation in this range if you're checking this out and there's a 2 for 1), and I'd happily repurchase to use in winter - I switch to high SPF products for summer.
Edit: my skin has changed from dry to combination; this does not last well on my oily nose. Acceptable on areas with large pores, but not great. Due to the price and excellent colour match I'd consider revisiting this, but only once I've explored some other options.

I've only had this for a few days, but so far I'm impressed. This is pretty, inexpensive, in a really nice glass bottle that feels like it has some substance to it, and it goes on nicely.
I've been using a stipple brush and then blending well with a blending brush to get good light to medium coverage, which is all I need. At that level, it really does a good job of hiding the redness. I did play with a foundation brush and got pretty good coverage, but looked too heavy for every day.
This has a very slight shimmer, which makes my pale skin look really pretty instead of chalky like almost everything else I've tried. The shimmer is really subtle to me, and I don't like sparkly like a teenager going to a club. I just look rested and more natural. I really dislike the extreme matte look, though, so if that's what you want, this probably isn't for you. I used a little Everyday Minerals Finishing dust over it to set it on my T zone and really liked the combo.
I got in Porcelain which looks almost white in the bottle. Next to my skin, the stuff in the bottle appeared too light, and that never happens. i swatched it , though, and it was a pretty good match. I expect it to be even better this winter. It is a little on the yellow side for my cool skin, but it doesn't look orange on me like almost every other liquid foundation or BB cream I've tried.
I got it for about $9, and at that price, it was a steal.

I'm surprised on how divided these reviews are. After hearing from Pixiwoo and Gossmakeupartist I put this in the back of my mind to try if anyone was selling Avon.
I'm glad I remembered. I have tried a few very high end foundations and without even noticing this one became my go to over Chanel, Tarte, and Marc Jacobs.
It's a fairly whipped products out of the pump bottle. I find I only need a 1/2 pump applied with fingers to the center of my face. This allows my freckles to come through but evens out my skin beautifully
I've noticed no shimmer. It isn't matte or glowing to me...just skin.

I do really regret buying this product so much. Simply because it is too crazy for me to wear. It has shimmer in it! and yes, the shimmer is visible on my skin. I hate shimmer, and when I was reading about it on Avon Brochure they never mentioned the shimmer part, which I consider as a deceptive advertising.

Oh how I hate this foundation. I've given it one lippy because it does have such a wide range of shades. It's somehow dry but shiny, I can't blend it for love nor money. It clings to every dry patch that I didn't even know I had and it's not remotely full coverage. It's so bad that I had to take it all off and start again with a different product.

I usually never write reviews on something I've only tried once, but...consider this love at first sight. Or lust, depending on your morals. Lol. I may have used an Avon foundation in the past, maybe when I was in high school, but I don't remember it. I sold it briefly about a year ago as well. Fast forwarding, though, this stuff is amazing. When I was applying it, I could already tell see a really pretty sheen. Not obnoxious or glittery whatsoever, though; just a healthy, subtle glow. This is what I wanted L'oreal's true match lumi to be. I applied it today with my RT sponge, and I had to use like five pumps, but I do think the sponge was absorbing some of it, as most people have said they only need two pumps for their face. Also, my pump was being a little annoying, but it could be because it's a new bottle. Push comes to shove, you can unscrew the pump. This foundation promises a natural, flawless face, and I can honesty say that in my case, it lives up to that. Stays put all day...on normal/dry skin, anyway. After a full day of shopping, I didn't even wanna remove my makeup. Excited to wear it again tomorrow!

This foudnation is just beautify. The finish and longevity is a 10/10, but it's a foundation best for dry skin. I have oily so it didn't work out for me, because it has a dewy finish. I recommend it for dry ski. Only.

I bought this foundation a few days ago.
- It is not pricey.
- It has medium coverage, ideal for blemishes but not for acne or scars or dry patches.
- It has a gorgeous finish, natural and the same time healthy/dewy. (It reminds me the Ellis Faas foundation)
- Ideal for dry skin because it is particulary hydrate.
- My face turned a bit oily -especially the T zone- after two hours.
- I needed blotting papers couple of times during the day.
- I felt it a bit heavy on my face. (This is the main con for me)
I am NC 25. I choosed the shade Natural Beige. Good match for my skintone although a bit yellow. Although i loved the amazing finish of this foundation, i will not buy it again because of the "heavy feeling".

I absolutely love this foundation! I was shocked there were ANY reviews that didn't love it! Everyone I've introduced it to has loved it too! I do hair and occasional makeup and I have even used it on clients and they are amazed by it! It has the great, pump packaging, sanitary and it has not given me any problems, I've repurchased this at least 6 times already and even more if you count the ones I've gotten for my daughters.. I do consider this heavier coverage in terms of pigment, but I personally like that.. maybe medium to heavy. I am not a tinted moisturizer girl.. I need something that makes my dark circles and discolorations blend away and this can do that, all without looking or feeling the least bit masky.. The colors are very natural, I have a yellowish undertone to my skin, on the dry side, I don't break out much anymore, and this makeup never breaks me out. (last time i tried something different, I did get a couple blemishes, so maybe this makeup is part of why I'm clearer these days?) The feel is extremely glide on/blendable, like a silicone primer feel to it almost. I totally love this makeup for the price especially! Hope it doesn't get discontinued ever!

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Consultants for the state casino review board say Harrah's proposed casino for Sumner County would generate more money than two other plans.
Harrah's is among three casino companies vying for the contract to manage the state-owned facility. The others are Marvel Gaming and Penn National Gaming.
The casino review board begins two days of meetings Thursday to hear from the consultants and casino companies.
The board will decide in August who gets the management contracts in Sumner and Cherokee counties. In September, it will make the same decisions for Wyandotte and Ford counties.

Two appraisal districts in the Texas Panhandle have tabled a controversial proposal to consolidate until after they have completed reviews with the state Comptroller's office.
Officials in Dallam and Hartley counties met toward the end of last year to discuss developing a contract agreement that would create one appraisal district for both counties. The arrangement would have left an appraisal district board in place for each county.
But under a new law passed in the 2009 Legislative session, state Comptroller Susan Combs' office has started a review of appraisal districts across Texas. Half of the counties will be reviewed this year, including Hartley and Dallam. The rest will go through the process in 2011.
"We've got a lot of work to get all our ducks in a row," said David Spinhirne, chairman of the Hartley County board. "That's going to be a higher priority."
The Hartley Appraisal District anticipates meeting with an auditor in a month or two to gain a better understanding of review process. The district will likely have to make several changes, including converting paper records to digital ones.
"It's going to be a lot of work," Spinhirne said.
And until that's accomplished, Spinhirne doesn't anticipate returning to discussions about sharing appraisal services with Dallam.
The proposal raised red flags for residents who worry about losing local control of the appraisal process. They sought a detailed plan that would explain appreciable savings.
Board members for both counties said the merger could save as much as $200,000. They alleviated public concerns by agreeing to study the proposal further.
Appraisal districts do not set tax rates. They only put a value on property to be taxed by entities like school districts, cities, counties and hospital districts. Appraisal boards generally hire the chief appraiser and approve the budget. The law requires appraisal boards to meet at least four times a year.
The Hartley board membership changed at the start of the year. Terms for John Frantz and Barbara Thompson expired in January. The board now consists of Spinhirne, David Ford, J.D. Clark, Dean Graham and Gene Rahll.
The Dallam County Appraisal District Board met this month, and the meeting agenda provided time for evaluating a potential merger with Hartley, but little discussion occurred, said Eddie Carter, chief appraiser for Dallam County.
"We're just kind of waiting on them," he said.

You wont find any surprises in the plot. It's a story that's been done many times over, some successfully, most not so much. But, what makes this one stand out as successful is the excellent acting by the recognizable older faces, as well as the young actors. Shot, scored, and directed very simply, the locations and music add perfect compliment to the casually paced yet not slow story progression. Job well done by the director, composer and cinematographer, for not letting their own visions overshadow a movie that rightfully is about the characters. This is by no means a happy movie, but despite the heavy storyline, you will find yourself with a smile as the credits begin to roll, a smile that feels organic, not forced. Fine movie making.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
***MAJOR SPOILERS*** The film in covering the explosive subject of
sexual abuse in the Catholic Church takes the middle ground in showing
that as shocking as it is there's also a lot of exploitation on the
part of some of the so-called victims and their family members to use
the false charges of sexual abuse among the priests and nuns in the
church for strictly monetary reasons. It's Father Andre James, Isaiah
Washington, who should know better then most in what a false accusation
of sexual abuse against a priest can do. He in fact was guilty of that
charge back at St.Matthews where unknowingly he had his best friend
Father Mark Roberts, Lance Guest,thrown out of the priesthood by
backing up a false accusation of sexual abuse against him. That was
concocted by a student and his family that, in losing a major law civil
suite, ended up bankrupting St.Matthews.
Depressed guilt ridden and almost suicidal in what he did to his friend Mark Roberts, who's now unemployed and an alcoholic, Father Andre James is given a second chance to make up for his mistake by Father William Jennings, Robert Loggia, at his Allentide Catholic Boys Boarding School. It's in fact at Allentide where years ago a 12 years old student Andre James was himself sexually abused by a priest Father Whitman. That incident was not only covered up by the school but it left Andre emotionally scared for life.
As a teacher in the school Father James senses that student Parker Remy, Gordon Garrett, seems to be suffering from the results of being sexually abused by his very unstable and paranoid actions as well as being on anti psychotic medication. As Father James digs farther into Parker's background he finds out that he was very close to a Father Collins who had since disappeared into thin air after he was transferred form the school. Checking on what the relationship was between Parker & Father Collins Father James is shocked to find out that Father Collins was in fact involved in a number of sexual abuse incidents with students in Catholic schools that he once taught in!
As Father James starts to uncover facts about the missing Father Collins his superiors in the school begin to uncover what he himself was involved in back at St. Matthews where he ended up disappearing into thin air, like Father Collins did, for two years.
***SPOILERS***Still not deterred by the accusations thrown against him Father James with his job in Allentide hanging on a thread tracks down the reason that Father Collins disappeared and it was not of his own choosing. It was murder! And the person who murdered Father Collins was in fact one of the many students that he abused in the school! And what's even worse it was the schools headmaster Father William Jennings, who gave Father James his job there, who covered up the murder and ended up hiding the body by dumping it, wrapped in a body bag, into a nearby lake to keep the truth about Father Collins actions from seeing the light of day! As well as setting the stage for a major law suite against Allentide that would end up bankrupting the school!
Even handed in its theme, sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, the movie does in fact cop out a bit by sugar coating the fact that it's only a few and in this case only one individual, Father Jennings, who's involved in covering the abuse up. It's hard for me to believe that Father Jennings could have done all this in not only covering up Father Collins actions but even deep sixing his body all by himself without the knowledge and even help of his fellow priests in the school. The big plus in the film is Isaiah Washington depiction of the guilt ridden Father Andre James who despite what he did in the past as well as the sexual abuse he suffered, at the hands of Father Whitman, was still able to put that all aside and not let it interfere in his investigation what happened to Father Collins. And getting to the bottom of not only who ended up murdering father Collins but what he himself did to put it, his being murdered, into motion.
The least of these is a drama-thriller about mysteries, secrets and
religion. Without telling too much, this has a story which is like so
many others. Still this story as more layers than you'd expect.
A colored priest comes as a teacher to a Catholic boys' school. In fact the same school he attended as a youngster. As he arrives, he gets told that "The first thing a priest learns is how to keep a secret". However, there's more secrets here, and the new priest has some secrets of his own.
This film attacks the secrecy of which we've heard much about around the catholic church for the latter years. This film treats it good, but perhaps not as good as we've seen others have done it. Still it hits the mark well enough to grip you, and to keep your attention.
The film is also packed with good acting from great actors. Maybe from time to time instructed a tiny bit naive, which also adds to the film's lesser credits. Director Nathan Scoggins, also the writer of this script, here made his second feature, after previously being more known as a writer. He uses a slow approach to the storytelling as well as the solving of the mystery. However both Isaiah Washington, as the colored priest, Robert Loggia, Bob Gunton and John Billingsley as the other priests are doing great in their roles. So are many of the teenage boys.
The film was made on a low budget, but production values are good. The marketing budget of course was also too small for this film to get a wide enough distribution, so this film would be considered as a gem by many of those linking this kind of stories. It good enough to be deserved to be watched by a larger audience.
This film thematically resembles films like there, of which not all of them are base on Catholicism or religion, but more also about child abuse. Sleepers, Priest, The Magdalena Sisters, Deliver us from evil, King of Devil's Island, Twist of faith, Troubled waters, Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the house of God, The Boys from St. Vincents, Hands of God, Calvary, Sex crimes of the Vatican and the forthcoming The spotlight team.
At a small Catholic High School in Connecticut, everyone knows everyone elses business. One priest has mysteriously disappeared, while another has come to take his place. That priest is former student, Andre James (Isaiah Washington), who from the very beginning knows he isn't entirely welcome at his old school, which he comes to find holds many old secrets. I'm always a bit weary of films that are centered on religion, because if isn't done just right the film is ruined. If there isn't enough of a religious angle, the film isn't believable, but if there's too much, it feels like you're being converted. The Least of These manages to strike a perfect balance, as religion is a part of the story, but it doesn't dominate every aspect of the film. The true heart of this film is in it's mysteries, such as what happened to the old priest and what's this new guy all about? Isaiah Washington stars in what turns out to be the first serious role I've seen him play, and he is outstanding. Father James is battling his own demons and for all the good he wants to do, a part of him doesn't feel entirely comfortable in his new surroundings. Quite ingeniously, Washington is able to portray this not through words, but through his demeanor, which changes as the story progresses. Washington is paired with Jordan Garrett who is always very likable no matter what type of character he is playing. It doesn't matter if he's playing an evil kid on Law & Order or the innocent victim in Death Sentence, Garrett somehow always manages to connect with the audience and get them pulling for his character. In this film, he plays an introverted outcast, who seems to be devastated by the disappearance of Father Collins. After connecting with Father James, the boy opens up and becomes yet another mystery of the old school. The Least of These was pretty entertaining and I suspect that a lot of the bad user reviews come from people who didn't make it through the whole film. I agree that it starts out slow and takes forever to get moving, but once it does, it really is a terrific story told by a stellar cast.
I had no idea what I was in store for when Virgil (my partner) brought
home this DVD... Virgil had fallen asleep so I settled down with a bag
of Lay's chips and a glass of Dr. Pepper to watch "The Least of These"
starring Isaiah Washington...needless to say I am writing this review
as I was riveted to this story and fell uncontrollably into simple yet
acute adoration for all, even Jason, in this cast. I have two sons of
my own, and a grandson so I am a bit biased...but please know this
story really touched me in a way I have not felt in a long, long
time...Thank you to the producers and the cast as well as all the souls
who brought this project to completion - God bless and keep each one of
you and your families and friends.

First time posting on the forum. I am just taking my first look at android 3.0 and I can't find a Fragments example that I can just put into Eclipse and have it run. I usually learn quicker if I have a basic example in front of me that I can play with, and screw up, and learn from etc.
So can anyone point me to a Fragments example that will just give me the xml documents and the java file that I can plug in and play?
The developer docs found here
Won't work for me when I plug it in.

times were afoot back in the early-to-mid 90's when Sega and
Nintendo were the two biggest home console gaming giants battling
it out for gamers' time, attention, and (most importantly)
money. It always seemed that, just when you
thought one company got the decisive upper hand, the other one
would always create a game that would skillfully counterbalance
what could have otherwise been the final blow.
The end result being that both companies were pretty much
deadlocked into a battle that probably would still be going on
right now if not for history turning out the way it
did. Throughout the years, it was Excitebike
vs. Enduro Racer, the Super Mario series vs. Alex Kidd/Sonic the
Hedgehog, and Stunt Race FX vs. Virtua Racing, just to name a few
instances. All of this leads up to 1994, when
Nintendo released the hefty 32 megabyte cartridge known as Donkey
Kong Country. Now interestingly, Donkey Kong as
a series never had a Sega mascot to go toe to toe with
it. Well, all of that changed in 1995 when
Blue Sky Software developed such a mascot for the Sega Genesis
that would stand up to the adventuring ape and give Genesis owners
a reason to rejoice. His name was Vectorman and
he was coming to a Genesis near you.
As a Sega exclusive featuring a unique main character and a lot of action, Vectorman was considered by many to be the answer to Donkey Kong Country. Soon after its release, the game would go on become a commercial and critical success almost overnight, from what I can remember. It had a nice pickup-and-play style, yet challenging enough to keep your interest. It also received much respect for being a well crafted 16-bit game during a time when the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 were gaining momentum in the gaming industry. To the joy and praise of many a Genesis owner, Vectorman proved that Sega's aging console still had some serious life left in it.
It's the year 2049, and things
aren't looking so good on planet Earth.
The world's environments and landscapes have become
overrun with toxic sludge. Whatever became of
the human race? They took to the stars, seeking
a new place to live while leaving behind specially designed
"orbots" to clean up their mess and make the earth
habitable again. Raster was a particularly
powerful orbot that oversaw the worldwide cleanup work via a
ComNet system. All was going well until one day
when a group of orbot attendants mistakenly attached a salvaged
nuclear bomb to Raster's control circuits.
Thanks to their error, Raster began to call himself
"WarHead" and soon started making plans to dominate
the earth and enslave the humans once they returned from their
interplanetary vacation. Since Warhead is the
boss of all orbots, he quickly gained control of his workers to
join them in his insidious plot.
Fortunately for the humans, Vectorman was the only orbot unhindered by WarHead's mind control since he was busy delivering sludge to the sun in his space barge when the hostile takeover took place. Upon returning to Earth, he learns about the plans to entrap their creators and decides to stop Warhead and his allies, no matter what the cost. No other hero can save the world like Vectorman can. He's got the balls for the job. Literally.
I should mention that, when I first played this game years ago, I had no idea a "vector" was. In fact, I never even heard of the word before the game's release. It wasn't until maybe two years after the game's debut that I learned that the term "vector" can be used to describe geometrical shapes based on mathematical equations, which in turn represent images in computer graphics (thank you Wikipedia). Hence, this explains Sega's choice of name for the hero and main villain (Raster). And with such a unique choice of characters, it's no surprise that Vectorman himself is as versatile as he is. The game is primarily a platformer with a dash of shooter style levels thrown in here and there. When you're not jumping from place to place with the assistance of your orthopedic rocket boosters and blasting your enemies to kingdom come, you'll find yourself travelling along a railroad high above the landscape while out-maneuvering a persistent monster orbot or avoiding the electrical wrath of a giant WarHead disco ball-o-death. By default, he comes equipped with the ability to shoot energy pellets from his hand, providing your main line of defense. In addition to being able fire in 8 directions, you can also use his shots to slow his fall by shooting downward, giving you an extra second to try and land on a platform before completely missing it or perhaps surprise an enemy below. You mainly collect power-ups and health items by shooting TVs hanging from the ceiling. For some reason, I get a kick out of watching the TV spin out of control until they finally burst, yielding the item inside. Call me a sicko.
With the hordes of enemies
you'll be fighting, it's certainly nice to have a few
other weapons of choice, should you need them.
Certain TVs hold items that enhance your firepower beyond
its normal capabilities. Getting the Rapid Fire
Gun, as the name suggests, greatly increases your rate of fire and
can also ricochet off walls. The Wave Gun
covers most of the screen with its Contra-esque 5-way spread shot
and ability to pass through walls. Shooting
with the Bolo Gun enhancement (my personal favorite) packs quite a
punch and is especially effective against the more brutal orbot
enemies that commonly patrol the areas.
Multiplier items add nice touch to the game since the numerical value of other pick-ups is enhanced by getting them. For instance, collecting a 1-Up while possessing a 5x multiplier meant that you'd get 5 extra lives instead of just one. Neat!
The game's visuals are a nice
work of art, using pre-rendered 3D graphics.
The backgrounds are some of the best on the
console. My two favorites were the waterfall
scenery in the Arctic Ridge stage and the flashing bolts of
lightning contrasting the dark background in the Nightscape
level. The game moves at a consistently fast
pace with a lot of heavy action, with only hints of slowdown here
and there.
The audio was top notch and quite impressive. The sound effects are very pronounced and in your face with distinct explosions and booms of energy to be heard. The only downside is that the music sometimes gets a little overshadowed against the blasts and explosions constantly going on in your efforts to silence robotic evil.
Part of what made Vectorman a fun character was his ability to morph into various forms by picking up items specific to his transformations. For instance, underwater environments often hold the fish icon. Collecting it will turn him into aquatic version of himself and allow him to move around more freely. Other transformations include turning into a bomb for exploiting weak walls and wiping out enemies onscreen, a drill to break through certain floors, and a jet to fly anywhere you please. Most of his transformations will aid you exploring sections of the levels that are otherwise impossible to reach. Taking the time to explore each stage often yields good fruitage, such as finding those special green spheres that can be added to your hit points. And in this game, you'll need all the hit points you can find.
To put it simply, if you love 2D platformers, then Vectorman is a good fit for you. It's was the cream of the crop, even if it did come along late in the Genesis' life. Best of all, in more recent years, this gem has become available for downloading on the Virtual Console for 800 points. With its smooth gameplay, impressive visual presentation, and superb sound quality, having this in your digital game collection isn't a bad way to spend your cash. This one's a keeper.

I spent many sleepless nights wondering if I should plug my blog here. Then, after much thought and unhurried deliberation, I came to the conclusion that I should! :-P
I am a shameless narcissist anyway! ;-)
So here is my blog... after having made the welcome transition from Blogger to WordPress... http://www.opti-mystic.net/blog
Opinions welcome.

I am trying to manually reinstall WordPress (with FTP) to cure problems with the dashboard not rendering.
Some files in my wp-admin and wp-includes folders cannot be deleted or over-written -- when I try to delete or over-write these files, the error message I see is "553: Can't open that file: Permission denied".
The files that I can't modify seem like a random list. Some of the files I can't touch are class-simplepie.php and default-widgets.php in wp-includes, all of the contents in wp-includes/Text and its subfolders, load-scripts.php and load-styles.php in wp-admin, theme-install.php in wp-admin, and about half of the files in wp-admin/js.
The file permissions on all these files are the same as on the files I can delete or over-write.
I've disabled all plugins except Akismet, but that doesn't seem to have made any difference.
Any ideas on what's going on, and how I can resolve the problem???
