You get to choose 5 lipstick colors and you will get a bonus sample of the clear gloss. The clear gloss is perfect for following up with the lip exfolient included in this listing. Pledase list color choices in the comments section at checkout. Here is a little info on the exfolient:
Like Laura Mer ..you know who''s lip silk? Well, this is a better vegan version of the same thing with no chemicals.
After researching what really works and what should be in a lip exfolient my formula was born. I don''t copy formulas I invent them
Here''s what we have in here and what it does
Organic Raw Turbinado Cane Sugar: Exfolient and source of Glycolic Acid. Active ingredient in Laura M''s.
Organic Jojoba Oil: mimics skins natural sebum deep moisturizer. Non -greasy.
Squalane Oil: This is an awesome wrinkle fighter. I sell and use this alone for that very purpose no better place for it than on your kisser to keep those lip lines at bay very deep intense moisturizer non greasy
White Willow Bark: natural exfolient and contains salicylic acid ( do not use if you have an aspirin allergy) It also is an anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-itching, and has analgesic properties. Active ingredient in Laura M''s.
Bamboo: Natural Exfolient. Bamboo soothes and repairs the lips.
Citric Acid: Antioxidant and adjusts skins natural Ph. Natural Sugar exfoliates Active ingredient in Laura M''s
Tangerine Essential Oil for the yummy factor
Posted by Bonnie on 20th Aug 2016
NAKED GOLD...this was the winner in the batch. I also really like Outrageous Orchid. Purple passion is more translucent than the rest and isn't as purple as I expected. The lip scrub is divine. These stay on for hours. I use a lip balm underneath to create a softer and silkier feel/look.
Posted by Stephanie Stillings on 28th Jun 2016
The lip exfoliator is gritty, but works very well (with a little added water). I loved the clear vegan lip gloss sample so much that I purchased a full size!
My favorite colors were Crazy Coral and Sunset Peach. I will purchase full sizes once I use up some other lipsticks I already own.
Posted by Andrea on 24th May 2016
Beautiful lipsticks. Unfortunately I got a duplicate instead of one of the colours I ordered, but I guess that happens. Love the lip exfoliator included!
Posted by Sonia Sharp on 31st Mar 2016
I bought this lipstick from this website and another on-line non-toxic makeup business. By far, I liked this lipstick better. Seems to stay on longer yet its moisturizing. You really can't go wrong buying this lipstick sampler. Its better to try different shades than purchase the wrong shade in a full lipstick and the price is great.
Posted by Charlotte Hultquist on 29th Mar 2016
I got lipstick in deep wine, and it's great. For my auburn hair/pale skin coloring, the color is perfect. I keep getting compliments on it! The texture and feel are like normal lipstick I used to wear, not grainy or dry like natural ones. It also lasts a long time, unlike most natural ones. I've tried Tarte and Bare Escentuals lipsticks and didn't like them much. This one's much healthier but also WAY cheaper!
Posted by Julie on 29th Feb 2016
I'm so glad I got this sampler kit! Colors I thought would be perfect looked so wrong on me, and the ones I thought were a stretch actually turned out looking really great! So really the only complaint is that they don't look quite the same on your skin as they do on the tub. But that's pretty much normal for any kind of lipstick because of body chemistry, so that's hardly a complaint at all! The lipsticks themselves are amazing, though. I applied them a few times without any chapstick or balm or anything and they actually softened my lips so much I went hours before needing to put any lip balm on! Eager to get the full sized lipsticks now.
Posted by Amber Parker on 11th Jun 2015
This sample kit is a great way to try out some colors to ensure you like before buying, and the samples last quite a while. This is the best feeling lipstick I have ever worn, and the colors are beautiful!
Posted by Shea on 29th Jul 2014
I love when I can try out product especially cosmetics before buying. There is enough lipstick sample more multiple wears. Also I love the lip exfoliator. It really gets the lips smooth and soft. Its best to put the powder on dry or mostly dry lip first. Then rub and rinse to get the best smoothest lips possible.
Posted by Andrienne on 24th May 2014
I like having an opportunity to try out various shades of lipstick before making a selection of a lipstick. My only question would be what is the best way to apply the sample shade: with my finger or with a Q tip or should I but an applicator?
I think the sampler is useful because it is difficult sometime to get a clear idea of a what the color of a lipstick is like simply from a picture on line.
There some things with the sampler that I was not sure how to use. One was the lip exfoliant. Again I wasn't sure if I should apply this with my finger or use a Q tip or what.
Posted by Cathy on 17th May 2014
Love my color samples. A little of the color applied with a brush goes a long way and really lasts!
Posted by Rhonda on 11th Dec 2013
Sensational is the exact word to use for such fine lipsticks. Picking the colors to try was difficult, but each one is beautiful and they glide on so very nicely! No disappointment here.
Posted by Unknown on 30th Oct 2013
Very pigmented and stains the lips. Tried orchid first and loved the purply shade. Love all the colors.

Human-centered design, a highly creative approach to problem solving, is gaining popularity in libraries as they plan for what lies ahead. Also known as design thinking, it focuses on defining and then resolving concerns by paying attention to the needs, aspirations, and wishes of people—in the case of libraries, not only a library's patrons but its staff, administration, and members of the community who may not be library customers…yet.

Cincinnati PL Board Votes Not To Support Coverage of Gender Confirmation Surgery
In a decision that could have reverberations for library employees across the country, the board of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County (PLCHC) announced at its June 14 meeting that the library will not add a rider to its health plan that would cover gender confirmation surgery for Rachel Dovel, who has worked at the library for more than a decade. The seven-member board cited the rider's additional costs, which would be passed on to the library and its employees.
Aspen in Action | Community Engagement
"We needed to change the conversation about libraries," says Gina Millsap, CEO of Kansas's Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library (TSCPL), the 2016 Gale/LJ Library of the Year. Millsap refers to her ongoing work with the Aspen Institute, an international leadership development nonprofit that has turned a lens toward public libraries. In October 2014, Aspen sparked a conversation about the future of libraries with its release of a report titled "Rising to the Challenge: Re-Envisioning Public Libraries." TSCPL served as a case study. "The report gave us a framework and concepts to take out to the community," Millsap tells LJ. As libraries engaged with the report, it became clear that many wanted more hands-on guidance about how to take recommendations from Rising to the Challenge and turn them into practical, achievable goals. In response, Aspen developed a new toolkit featuring 12 chapters of "ACTivities" covering topics such as "The Library as Civic Resource," "The Library as Literacy Champion," and "Jobs and Economic Development" to help libraries dig into the work of transformation, released in January as the "Action Guide for Re-Envisioning Your Public Library."
Hartford PL Budget Cuts Reduced
A $600,000 budget cut will force Connecticut's Hartford Public Library (HPL) to eliminate 10 jobs and curtail Saturday hours at most branches, but swift intervention by Mayor Luke Bronin prevented an even steeper reduction that would have left the system with no choice but to close three of its 10 branches.
Building Vibrant Communities Through Literacy & Education: Ohio Workshop Shares Best Practices
Directors and library leaders from around Ohio and Pennsylvania met for a half-day workshop to share best practices and discuss ideas for impacting literacy and education throughout their communities. The interactive workshop was sponsored and attended by EnvisionWare and featured presentations by The Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County, Akron-Summit County Public Library and Stark County District Library.
Safety First | Library Security
The safety of staff and patrons is a top priority for all libraries, with managers striving to maintain a welcoming and secure environment for all who wish to make use of the space. Library systems nationwide enact security policies tailored to their respective communities and resources. Although these vary from library to library, librarians must strike a balance between offering a broad open door policy for all community members and ensuring a safe, secure environment for staff and patrons.
Steps to a Secure Library | Library Security
For a primer on managing disruptive patrons, knowing when to get law enforcement involved, and how to form the relationships that make that call easier, we spoke to Steve Albrecht. A retired police officer and security consultant, Albrecht is the author of Library Security: Better Communication, Safer Facilities (ALA Editions).

I am wondering two things:
1. When does your LO go to bed?
2. When is LO's last nap of the day?
I am starting a new job next week (nannying, bringing LO with me). I will be working until 6ish every night and would like to extend LO's bedtime by a little bit. He usually goes down between 730-8 these days. I would like to push it back a bit so I don't feel super rushed/stressed when I get home from work to feed him dinner/do bedtime routine. I'd also like DH to have a little more time with him at night. I'm just wondering what your schedules look like so I can play around with how I will adjust his schedule in the coming weeks.
Thanks in advance for your input!

Overseas Tech Firms Ramp Up Hiring in Silicon Valley
For years, U.S. high-tech executives have fretted about the loss of technology jobs to countries such as China and India. But there is a countervailing force: Foreign companies are leaning heavily on engineers they hire in Silicon Valley.
Companies from Europe and Asia increasingly are using high-tech teams in the Bay Area to conduct long-range research and help design cutting-edge products for global markets.
One example is Telefon AB L.M. Ericsson, ERIC 1.55 % the Swedish phone-equipment giant. Håkan Eriksson, chief technology officer of the 135-year-old company, doesn't keep his office at company headquarters in Stockholm. He works from San Jose, where Ericsson has more than 1,200 employees engaged in research and development.
Huawei Technologies Co., another maker of communications gear, held a ribbon-cutting in April for its new R&D center in Santa Clara. The Chinese company now has 430 engineers and other technical staff there—up more than 200 since the end of 2009—and expects to add 120 to 230 more by the end of 2011.
"Our future is going to be driven by innovations that come from this market." said John Roese, Huawei's senior vice president and general manager of North America R&D.
Other foreign companies that have sizable technical staffs in the area include Germany's SAP AG, Finland's Nokia Corp., France's Alcatel-Lucent and Fujitsu Ltd. FJTSY -0.35 % of Japan.
While Silicon Valley is most associated with technologies such as computers and semiconductors, most of the hiring by the biggest overseas companies is occurring in the communications-related arena, capitalizing on a talent pool created by local trailblazers such as networking-gear maker Cisco Systems Inc. CSCO 1.05 %
Another factor is the region's new prominence in the evolution of mobile devices. Ericsson, which designs equipment to help manage cellular networks, historically benefited from its proximity in Scandinavia to cellphone maker Nokia, Mr. Eriksson said. Now the company finds it advantageous to be in position to collaborate with engineers at the headquarters of Apple Inc., maker of the hit iPhones and iPads, and Google Inc. with its Android software for smartphones.
"The epicenter for the handset industry has shifted from Finland to Silicon Valley," Mr. Eriksson said.
Hiring by foreign companies of high-level engineers hasn't compensated for the broader loss of jobs in Silicon Valley, partly caused by the long-term migration of high-tech manufacturing from the region. These big companies continue to staff up in China and India, where labor costs are much lower than in Silicon Valley.
But creativity can outweigh cost. When it comes to deciding what products can and should be made, and getting designs done quickly, experience and expertise are vital, industry veterans say.
"Is your business plan based on the price of engineers or about getting to the market fast?" said Basil Alwan, president of Alcatel-Lucent's IP division in Mountain View, where the company has about 400 employees working in research and development.
Some tasks are handled well by large, less-experienced teams of engineers abroad, Mr. Alwan said. But most product-development efforts have a small group of core individuals who direct the key creative work. "You lose that core team, it doesn't matter how many people you hire—you will not be able to innovate," he said.
Foreign companies have at times used acquisitions to build footholds in the region. Mr. Alwan, for example, was the founder and CEO of a start-up called Timetra that was purchased by the Paris-based Alcatel-Lucent in 2003.
Ericsson traces the size of its local presence in part to its 2006 deal to buy Redback Networks Inc.
But others, like Huawei, have mainly grown by recruiting local technology talent, in some cases benefiting from reductions in engineering staff by area companies such as Sun Microsystems Inc. after its purchase by Oracle Corp. ORCL 0.41 % Many of Huawei's employees work on developing software, which is crucial as the Chinese company competes in markets such as network switching gear and cellphones.
Nokia has set its sights on more futuristic concepts. The company's Bay Area staff of about 380 people includes about 80 Ph.D.s and other researchers at centers near Stanford University in Palo Alto and the University of California, Berkeley. They collaborate with university researchers on projects such as power management in mobile devices and projects that link cellphones and a variety of sensors to help address traffic congestion.
John Shen, who directs Nokia Research Center in Palo Alto, said the centers also serve as listening posts for what other tech companies are doing.
"To be globally competitive," he said, "you really need to have a footprint here in the Valley."

Yesterday a Car Went Airborne
During the last lap of the NASCAR race at Talladega Super Speedway the car in the lead got tapped by the second place car and went airborne and smashed into the catch fence. The frightening wreck resulted in injuries to seven fans. NASCAR has been using the dreaded restrictor plate (a plate that fits over the carburetor and restricts the flow of gasoline and slows the cars down) since 1987 after Bobby Allison had a similar wreck at the same track. NASCAR officials still give lip service to their commitment to safety but it's well known that NASCAR doesn't really do anything until someone dies in a wreck. David Poole, who writes for the Charlotte Observer is one of the few members of the media calling NASCAR out on this.

It is common practice for hotels to partner with well-known beauty brands with similar brand attributes to provide these free amenities to their guests. Not to mention the fact that it is a huge added bonus when the hotel you are staying at, provides for you the brands you currently use or have been planning to try. Take a peek at some of these amazing partnerships between hotels and beauty brands! What hotels hold your favorite beauty products?

The Penthouse Suite will also come with its own private kitchen and living room/den area (complete with working fireplace).
The Tuscany embodies both Old and New World, with custom oak and leather wall panel systems and hardwood floors complemented with artistic wall murals made by artists and designers (think Sarah Morris and Paul Smith).
All bathrooms have glass tile walls and Duravit vanities. Nice Touch: In-room bath amenities are Molton Brown.

Burke Recovery thanks all who have been involved in creating these compelling audios for September Month.
Please be a part of Burke Substance Abuse Network's Vision and Goals Steering Committee! – Sign Up HERE!
Read about aDAPT, our youth movement around substance use prevention and how it came to be through Burke Substance Abuse Network's youth initiatives.
Find our compilation of the Morganton News Herald's Spring 2015 three-part series on local conditions, prevention, treatment, and community action – click the image to the right.
|Please watch this moving video from the office of Burke County Sheriff Steve Whisnant about the personal impact of substance abuse and addiction.
About BSAN
Burke Substance Abuse Network (BSAN) is a coalition of providers, support groups, related agencies and other stakeholders who come together to: (a) network; (b) identify gaps in service; and (c) strategically plan response to community needs as they relate to the reduction of substance abuse and use in youth, young adults, their families, and all citizens of Burke County for long term community health.
BSAN Partners include, but are not limited to: Treatment Providers, Medical Community, Pharmacists, Law Enforcement, Faith Community, Recovery Communities, Consumers, Human Svc Agencies, Media, Educational Leaders, Mental Health Organization, Prisons, Governmental Leaders, Businesses, Youth, and Veterans.
Consider that:
- Substance abuse is a critical issue facing Burke County:
- National statistics indicate that 5-10% of the general public has a chemical dependency problem (4.500-9,000 people in Burke County) —but less than 13% of those get any treatment. An additional 20-25% of the general public abuse substances (up to 25,000 people in Burke County).
- This creates a tremendous human and financial burden on all aspects of our community.
- It is an issue that cannot be solved by any one provider, agency or funding source but, working together, we can make a difference!
What impact can BSAN have in Burke County?
BSAN is creating a vibrant, Recovery Oriented Community of Care in Burke County by inviting a wide array of community resources to join together to create more options for treatment and recovery support services for every individual and family who needs help. This means public and private sectors working together with law enforcement, educators, business and civic leaders, and the faith community—collaborating with human service agencies, medical, pharmaceutical, treatment and recovery fellowships.

There's a shot early on in Steve McQueen's Cannes-winning Hunger (yes, that's the British filmmaker's name) that doesn't seem like much at first - just a quietly observant detail. A man getting ready for his day's work is having breakfast, finishing his toast. He brushes a few crumbs from the table with his napkin.
The camera captures the crumbs in the air, in a shaft of light. It's beautiful.
And then, as we follow this man (Stuart Graham) out the door and off to his job - and as he checks the bottom of his car for a bomb - we learn that he's a prison guard. A guard in Northern Ireland's infamous Maze Prison, where the Irish Republican Army leader Bobby Sands undertook his epic hunger strike in 1981.

Six independent organisations ask Yingluck, Suthep name mediators
Six independent organisations are asking both caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and Suthep Thuagsuban, secretary general of the anti-government People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), to nominate 10 persons each in hope that the matching names can act as mediators to broker negotiation between the two sides.
Leaders of the six independent organizations, namely the Election Commission, the National Human Rights Commission, the Office of the Ombudsman, the National Anti Corruption Commission, the Office of the Auditor-General, and the National Economic and Social Advisory Council hope they will get a reply from both sides within seven days.

Cephalopods - Up Close and Personal
According to the business dictionary, the definition of team is "a group of people with a full set of complimentary skills required to complete a task, job, or project. Team members (1) operate with a high degree of inter-dependence, (2) share authority and responsibility for self- management, ( 3) are accountable for the collective performance, and (4) work towards a common goal in shared rewards, A team becomes more than just a collection of people when a strong sense of mutual commitment creates synergy, thus generating performance greater than the sum of the performance of its individual members".
So that's a pretty long explanation of what we're hoping to accomplish over the next two years.
Individually, we can accomplish great things at the unit and council level. But imagine what we could do if all of us work together as one team. The possibilities are endless.
Whether you are a member or officer at a local unit, council, or a member of the Thirty-Third District Executive Board, you are part of our team.
Over the next two years you're probably going to hear a lot about the need for teamwork. But I am hoping that you will truly embrace the concept of our district being one team with one dream, and find the time you spend as part of this team rewarding, enjoyable, and fun.
Thank you for being part of our team, and I'm looking forward to serving as your president and team captain.

Lake Park Bistro's closing for a few days while a zinc bar is installed
A zinc bar is one of those iconic elements of French bistros; Lake Park Bistro will be getting its own next week.
The French-inflected Bartolotta restaurant, at 3133 E. Newberry Blvd., will be open for Sunday brunch but close afterward so the bar can be installed, the group announced this afternoon. Lake Park will remain closed through lunch March 15, and then reopen for dinner that night, with the 100% zinc bar in place. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Bar owners scramble to keep up with fake ID technology
The arms race between bar owners and college students with increasingly sophisticated fake IDs is heating up.
Students today can spend $100 to $150 on fake identification through a number of websites that claim superior quality down to the holograms and bar codes. There's an underground review that rates the quality of fake IDs from different sites. Students can even watch YouTube videos on how to make IDs showing they're 21, the legal drinking age. »Read Full Article(30)

'Brave New World'...20 Years of Democracy
Iziko Museums of Africa is celebrating 20 Years of Democracy through the exhibition: 'Brave New World'...20 Years of Democracy, on display at the Iziko South African National Gallery (ISANG) until 1 November 2014. The exhibition commemorates this major milestone through a selection of works from ISANG's Permanent Collection, acquired between 1994 and 2014.
'There's something I must tell you' An exhibition by Sue Williamson
Iziko Museums of South Africa will host the exhibition: "There's something I must tell you" by artist, Sue Williamson, on 27 June until 30 June 2015. This exhibition focuses on women activists involved in the political struggle against apartheid in South Africa, and the artist's latest work, an installation documenting conversations between iconic women involved in the struggle and their Born Free granddaughters. The exhibition reveals a timeline across three bodies of work, moving from the 80s to current work set against a theme of women's involvement in the struggle for democracy.
Statement by Iziko CEO
"Riason Naidoo was employed by Iziko Museums of South Africa on a fixed term contract. From the outset, Riason was aware that his contract would expire at the end of April 2014. Iziko has no further comment. Iziko will continue in future to provide the same exceptional quality art exhibitions that the public have always enjoyed." says Rooksana Omar, CEO Iziko.
Iziko Museums Closed on Workers' Day and Election Day
Iziko Museums of South Africa will be closed on Workers' Day 1 May, 2014 and on 7 May, 2014 for Election Day.
Celebrating 15 Years of Iziko
We believe our museums belong to all South Africans and that they must represent the memories, identities, culture and natural and social heritage of all South Africans and a new worldview. Thus, in the next five years, Iziko Museums of South Africa (Iziko) aims to propel our museums into a new era, to ensure they serve the needs of future generations of South Africans. Iziko CEO, Ms Rooksana Omar, sheds light on the Museum's strategic plan for the period 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2019.
Get in from the cold!
As the weather gets cooler, things are cooking at Iziko Museums of South Africa. Join us for a feast of commemorative day events and fun activities that will keep families and children entertained.
Museum collections make connections
We are celebrating 20 years of freedom, and South Africans of all walks of life are excited about where we've come from, and optimistic about where we're going. Over this period, we mark a number of politically and socially significant commemorative days, including Freedom Day on 27 April; Africa Day on 25 May; and Youth Day on 16 June; as well as International Museum Day on 18 May 2014. Museums are at the heart of these celebrations, and we welcome visitors to walk the road with us to discover and commemorate our history as a nation.
Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989): Traces of Ecstasy
Iziko Museums of South Africa, in partnership with Autograph ABP, host the first retrospective museum exhibition in Africa of Nigerian-born artist, Rotimi Fani-Kayode's photographs. This first major retrospective in an African art museum comes at a time when many countries on the continent, including Nigeria, have enacted harsh legislation to enforce rigid norms in terms of human sexuality. EntitledRotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989): Traces of Ecstasy, the exhibition opened to critical review at the Iziko South African National Gallery on 12 February 2014.
Putting a stamp on creativity
Capetonians are creative – it's a fact! The first evidence of human creativity was uncovered at Blombos Cave in the southern Cape,and form part of our Natural History collection. Discovered by Chris Henshilwood, the Blombos ochreis the earliest symbolic design, and the Blombos Nassarius kraussianus shell beads are the oldest symbolic ornaments in South Africa. In honour of these, the South African Post Office has launched a new stamp collection, photographed by Hein Botha,under the theme: "Symbols of South African Cultures".
Singing Freedom
Wedged between St George's Cathedral and Parliament is one of the oldest and most notorious buildings in Cape Town. The Slave Lodge was built in 1679 as the slave quarters of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). However, under the theme, 'From human wrongs to human rights', the Social History Collections department of Iziko Museums of South Africa is helping to transform this dark chapter of our history. It now hosts temporary exhibitions related to the legacies of slavery and the more recent history of South Africa. One of these is Singing Freedom: Music and the struggle against apartheid, which tells the story of the role music played during the struggle for freedom.
Partners make things possible
There has never been a more exciting time to be associated with Iziko Museums of South Africa, either through partnerships, funding or sponsorships of the wide-ranging programmes and innovative education and outreach activities. We are committed to working closely with all key stakeholders to foster a strong network of collaboration between related organisations, both nationally and internationally. Iziko values these partnerships, and recognises them as essential to meeting the objectives of the organisation.

The conference theme this year is: Popular and American Culture Studies: Yesterday, Today &Tomorrow The area chair for Zombie Culture seeks papers and presentations on any aspect of the zombie in popular culture and history. It seems as though the world has gone "zombie crazy." There are zombie walks, games on college campuses like "Humans Vs.

Almost anything can be "zombified" and society and fans all over the world are literally "eat it up." The zombie has come to represent the chaotic world we live in, and courses continue to pop up on college and university campus all over the world. This is due in large part to the success of films like Night of the Living Dead, Zombie Flesh Eaters (Zombi 2), Dawn of the
Dead, 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, and most recently Warm Bodies, World War Z and the television program The Walking Dead.
Any aspect of Zombie Culture will be given consideration. However, in keeping with the theme of the conference SPECIAL ATTENTION will be paid to those proposals which discuss the distinctive American aspects of the zombie in film, literature, and popular culture in general.

Health Insurance Rates Rising... AGAIN!Health Insurance Rates Rising... AGAIN!
Premiums are going up thanks to ObamaCare | August 1, 2016
Matt Announces Run for State Auditor!Matt Announces Run for State Auditor!
Following months of support and encouragement from folks across Montana, he's in! | February 29, 2016
firstname.lastname@example.com or (406) 763-1234
Matt Rosendale Files to Run for State Auditor
Senate Majority Leader makes it official at GOP Winter Kick-Off in Bozeman
BOZEMAN, MT—Following months of consideration and countless statements of support from folks across Montana, Senate Majority Leader Matt Rosendale is officially launching his campaign for the State Auditor's Office.
"Folks across Montana have been encouraging me for the last two months to consider running and serving in this position. After careful consideration and much prayer, my wife and I agree—Montana needs someone who will look out for the folks, I believe I am that guy," said Rosendale.
Having spent the last six years in the Legislature, Rosendale is quite familiar with the problems facing our state:
"By forcing their will on the people, the Obama/Laslovich party has purely and simply limited healthcare options and raised costs for Montanans. Additionally they eliminated one of the most successful plans (Insure Montana) for small businesses in our state. This was in an effort to force the over 6000 people who own or work for small businesses in our state onto Obamacare. To me, that is unacceptable."
Rosendale continued by saying, "The citizens of Montana have the right to make their own choices when it comes to healthcare. The government should not be making those decisions for us. Under Obama/Laslovich, that is exactly what has happened. If elected, I will work to open the insurance market in Montana and, along side a newly elected Republican President and Governor, I will work to institute common sense Montana solutions to healthcare."
In addition to serving as the Montana State Senate Majority Leader, Rosendale is a rancher and real estate developer from Glendive, Montana. He and his wife Jean have been married for 30 years and have three sons, Matthew Jr, Brien and Adam.

Comedian Amy Schumer to play Pabst Theater March 9
Sweet-natured, foul-mouthed comedian Amy Schumer is slated to return to Milwaukee March 9 at the Pabst Theater.
A "Last Comic Standing" finalist in 2007, Schumer's profile rose considerably for her appearance on the "Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen" in 2011. She also released her debut stand-up album, "Cutting," that year. »Read Full Article
Singing, acting both stellar in 'Figaro'
Actors are taught to act and opera singers are taught to sing - and all too rarely do the twain really meet.
The Florentine Opera Company's production of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro," directed by Candace Evans, cast that notion aside Friday evening with a spot-on blend of absolutely sterling singing and audience-connected acting. »Read Full Article
Theatre Gigante taps dark, creative energy in 'Electra'
While her father is out of town on business, her mother takes a lover. When her father comes home, Mom and her new consort stab him. She herself is thrown out of the house. Her baby brother now lives in exile.
No wonder Electra has a complex. The question is whether her righteous anger regarding the murder of her father (Agamemnon) can justify plotting with her brother (Orestes) to murder Mom (Clytemnestra) and Mom's new squeeze (Aegisthus). »Read Full Article

Skip to comments.Msnbc.com becomes NBCNews.com
Posted on 07/15/2012 7:43:25 PM PDT by tobyhill
REDMOND, Wash. NBC News has acquired full control of msnbc.com and its digital network from Microsoft Corp. and is immediately rebranding the site as NBCNews.com.
Many details of the arrangement remain to be worked out, and financial terms weren't disclosed.
But NBC News President Steve Capus said the site one of the news industry's earliest and most successful online operations would become part of NBC News Digital, a new division led by Vivian Schiller, the former president and chief executive of National Public Radio. Schiller joined NBC News as chief digital officer last year.
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
Ah, another station I will not be watching...
"Acquired" my ass. Microsoft ditched PMSNBC last week over their increasingly radical politics.
Which digit is Viv using?
How do you spin failure ...."one of the news industry's earliest and most successful online operations would become part of NBC News Digital, a new division led by Vivian Schiller, the former president and chief executive of National Public Radio. Schiller joined NBC News as chief digital officer last year." Oh yes, Schiller is the one in charge when Congress tried to pull funding from NPR for misconduct.... it's only natural she would appear at NBC.
. . . and what's unradical about NBC themselves?

And why do they expect this to succeed?
I understand she was in an accident and lost her finger.
Her whole finger?
No, the one next to it...
Yeah, rearrange the deck chairs again, that'll work.
Juan Williams should get wound up over this. I expect "inside information" will be spilling out.
More like "DNC-TV" if you ask me.
..the numbers were so bad they have to hide them
How much "real" news is there really, in any given broadcast?
One minute of non-NBC advertising probably has more truthful statements than an entire program day of NBC "news".
digital news? like in two-bit news?
Lean Forward...
and vomit.
AP article surprising admits Microsoft dumping MSNBC due to liberal bias http://tinyurl.com/79gjrh2 (Weekend AP writers seem to have more freedom)
Oh, yeah, just for reference, Schiller left NPR after the Juan Williams kerfuffle. She's the one who said he needed a psychiatrist, after he got fired for slipping the truth about Islam.
MSNBC was damaging the Microsoft brand. I wouldn't be surprised if MS paid to get away from the train wreck.
I see we were thinking the same thing, but you beat me by a minute.
Getting popcorn ready for Juan Williams next appearance on Fox. IIRC, she was the one that canned Juan from NPR because he strayed too far off the liberal plantation and dared offer a contrary opinion or two. She got fired because she was indirectly involved with a media sting perpetrated by James OKeefe (of ACORN sting fame) which brought out the liberal elitist opinion of conservatives as uneducated rednecks.
Vivian Schiller? She was the fat wad that NPR issued against Juan Williams.
I am sure that Microsoft is very happy to end any association with the collection of America-hating leftist loons at the former MSNBC. Microsoft should want nothing to do with lesbo Rachel Madcow, Sgt. Schultz, "Leg Tingle" Matthews, and the rest of the scum.
Not something I'd want on my resume...
Here you go:
Vivian Schiller, NPR chief, resigns amid uproar over 'sting video'
"How much "real" news is there really, in any given broadcast?"
So they gave the gig to a leftard from NPR. No political incest or anything going on there, now is there?! And not the slightest chance that anything on that channel will be slanted left worse than the Tower of Pisa!/S
NBC News...
Can we just go ahead and call it Nothing But Communism News now, or should we actually wait a couple of weeks?
You B-a-d!
And strike up the band. However, in THIS situation I'm certain they'll be forbidden from playing "Nearer My God, To Thee."
NBC—still Nothing But Crap.
"You can polish a turd all you want but its still a turd!!"
You pretty much beat me to it.
I was going to use "lipstick on a pig".
Fortunately the only US news I get now is FOX.
I'm convinced that a sizable portion of msnbc's sunday morning ratings can be directly attributed to people who fell asleep watching "lockup: raw" on saturday nights and didn't turn off the tv.
I was riding the stationary bike at the gym this morning, listening to an audiobook. There was a TV suspended from the ceiling, tuned to MSNBC. I tried to ignore it, but started reading the crawl. They were all obamunists, total leftwingnuts. I can't believe that anyone who watches that without being forced to is a total moron.
I am personally excited about the prospect of not being a patron
of this endeavor. Does anybody have an address that I won't send
a thank-you letter to?
They keep trying to repack the same junk and only go drift left to appease moonbats. The few republicans willing to go get the same old stale treatment as the anchors and pundits drift further left or get changed for a hardcore partisan.
It doesn't make any difference what you call it. Its still trying to pick up a turd by the clean end.

I don't like it. Now if he posts under 4 ERA, its good. I was shocked to read B Arroyo is already 29 going on 30 years old! I don't think that is exactly adding an arm for the future. I think its like trading for a Right Handed Eric Milton. But who knows, I'm just a fan. At least we kept Kearns and Dunn and I think it puts to rest some of the rumors about them leaving. I think its good for the long term because Dunn likes the outfield alot better and now he can play Left Field every day for the rest of his career (HERE!)
The jurys out on this one, esp if Wily goes on to hit 300 or 400 HR in the AL. Might be a great DH.
