- Quality management and compexity in public services
- Author(s)
- Donnelly, Mike
- Abstract
- This is a naive paper. It explores some of the defining characteristics of public services and the contexts within which these are delivered in the 21st century. The locus of the paper is Scotland and so it invites the challenges of comparison and contrast with public services and their contexts internationally. The thesis being explored is that this landscape of public service management and delivery can be charted as a complex adaptive system and so may be amenable to description and analysis using ideas from complexity science. The paper merely touches the surface of a number of issues using illustrative examples which, hopefully, will facilitate discussion on which more general assertions and conclusions might be based.

- Title
- Teaching and evaluation of critical appraisal skills to postgraduate ESL engineering students
- Author(s)
- Melles, Gavin
- Abstract
- Enrolments in postgraduate engineering in Australia include a significant proportion of Asian ESL (English as a Second Language) students, and there is some debate in the literature about whether they are capable of critical appraisal. Content-based discipline-specific EAP (English for Academic Purposes) courses provide an environment for addressing the language, writing, and critical appraisal needs of such students. In particular, there is evidence that a 'sustained' approach to critical appraisal through engaging with engineering content is the best environment for this significant cohort. Despite this, such programmes are relatively rare in higher education partly as a result of the peripheral status of language and academic skills in relation to engineering knowledge and practice. This case study outlines the curriculum framework and rationale for a content-based EAP response to teaching critical appraisal skills and examines evaluative feedback from an open-ended survey of three semester cohorts of students (n=64, 85% response rate) regarding their encounter with critical thinking and practice. The paper argues both that discipline-specific EAP courses are an appropriate place to teach critical appraisal skills and contributes to the debate on the capacity of ESL students to develop this skill.

A few weeks ago, I explained the ins and outs of fishing wacky-style using plastic worms. It's a deadly bass technique, especially in shallow water, 15 feet or less.
There's another method that uses plastic worms that is just as deadly and it is made for fishing water that's a little deeper, say 10 feet or more. It is the dropshot method.
Dropshotting is a technique that positions the weight below the hook and bait. Most fishing has the bait at the bottom of the rig. Dropshotting lets the fisherman use a weight to take the bait down, yet be able to fish with the bait off the bottom.
To dropshot, I like using a superline such as Power Pro or Fireline in a 10-pound strength. I tie an eight-pound Seguar fluorocarbon leader, about four feet long, to the end of the superline using a back-to-back uni-knot. This gives me a setup that is invisible to the fish, is strong and has no stretch so I can really feel the bites.
I use a sturdy St. Croix or Grandt rod designed for dropshotting. You need a rod that lets you set the hook hard, I mean really hard.
You can use a specially designed hook for dropshotting. This hook has two arms on it. The line runs through the eyes at the ends of both arms and this forces the hook to stand out perpendicular to the line at all times. I've used them and they work well.
You also can use a traditional long-shank hook, but practice your knots so the hook always stands out and faces upward.
Leave about 15 inches of line hanging off of the end and attach your sinker to the rig. There are special dropshot sinkers that attach easily and come off when you snag on something without breaking your line. This saves you on hooks and bait.
If it is legal to use more than one hook on my line, I'll use a jig and twister tail as my sinker. Aren't two baits better than one? I think so.
Select a plastic worm and thread it onto your hook and you are good to go. I really like the Jackall Flick-shake worms. They are soft and really wiggle in the water. You can use any type of plastic worm, but the ones with a ribbon-style tail work best, in my opinion. Four- or six-inch length worms are the perfect choices.
Cast your line out and let it settle to the bottom. Now, reel up so there is no slack in your line. You can either retrieve slowly or just drift. Lift your rod tip a few inches once in a while. If you feel weight on your line, set the hook.
The biggest bass often will hit the bait the least hard. You'll just feel weight. You might think that you are snagged in weeds, but you'd be thinking wrong. Set the hook anytime you feel anything. Don't expect a tug on your line. The little guys are more likely to give you a traditional bite.
Between dropshotting and wacky-worming, you'll be equipped to catch bass from spring, through summer and on into the fall.
Fishing report
Northern Illinois: Dave Kranz from Dave's Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: "Summer patterns start to produce fish as the water warms and weed growth forms. Docks, overhanging trees and slop fishing all are good shallow-water patterns. Deep weed edges using football jigs or Rapala DT10 sized crankbaits are great deep-water baits. Deep lakes that take longer to warm, like Lake Geneva, are in full spawn mode right now. Fox River catfishing has been great using cut bait. Three Oaks bass fishing using Senkos or dropshotting a Roboworm has been good. For northern pike, use a size No. 12 or No. 14 Husky Jerk. Look for sandy areas for bluegills and perch." Call 815-455-2040 for updated reports.
Lake Michigan: Captain Bob Rossa of Migrator Charters (ALakeMichiganCharter.com) says, "Fishing continued to be good this past week on Lake Michigan. While Coho salmon are the main fish being caught, king salmon and lake trout are starting to show up in Illinois waters to add to the catch. White flashers with white Siggs flies tied 24 inches behind them have been taking the kings and lakers down 50 to 90 feet in the water column. 00-sized orange dodgers with small Peter Flies tied 16-inches behind still are the best Coho bait. The Cohoes are mainly in the top 20 feet of the water column, while the king salmon and lake trout are deeper. Perch fishing is very slow.
Walleye tournament: The World Walleye Association held its first Illinois qualifying tournament Sunday. The team of Brian Wilson from Gages Lake and Bruce Cobb of Spring Grove took first place. Their six-fish winning limit totaled 15.55 pounds. Wilson and Cobb also had the big fish of the qualifier, weighing 6.98 pounds. Wilson and Cobb already are looking forward to the 2014 WWA Championship tournament on Green Bay.
Hunting: Duck and goose hunters will be able to enter drawings for upcoming waterfowl hunting blind site random drawings that will be at several public hunting areas in Illinois this summer.
Hunters must register in person for the drawings and must be present at the drawing to claim their blind sites. Blind allocations are good for one year, except on the Mississippi River Pools, and Meredosia Lake, which are good for two.
To participate in a drawing, applicants must present a 2012 or 2013 Illinois hunting or sportsman combination license and a 2012 or 2013 Illinois Migratory Waterfowl Stamp at the time of registration and be at least 16 years old by the date of the drawing. Registrants must also possess a current Illinois FOID card.
The drawing for blinds at the Chain O' Lakes State Park and Redwing Slough/Deer Lake State Natural Area in Lake County will be July 27. The registration for both sites will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Oak Point day use area, one-fifth of a mile east of the Fox River on the south side of Illinois Route 173. Hunters will be allowed to register for only one of the two sites.

On this day (Nov. 25) in 1779, America's last king, George William Frederick (George III), convened Parliament with a speech in which he berated the Americans for what he called the "unprovoked war" (the War for American Independence) and solicited continued financial and popular support for what was increasingly the failing policy of trying to crush the colonial revolt in America.
Especially after the humiliating Oct. 17, 1777, British defeat in the Battle of Saratoga – after ancient enemy France declared war against Britain in the summer of 1778, and after Spain declared war against Britannia in June 1779 – it was apparent to an increasingly number in England (mostly Whigs) that George III's policy of subduing the American revolt was a failure and had led the county into yet another world-wide conflict with long-time adversaries France and Spain.
After late 1779, Britain was not only fighting against 13 relatively disunited American colonies, but was confronted with fighting France and Spain. This turn of events forced Britain to change drastically its war aims and strategy. Before 1779, Britain could focus solely on suppressing the colonial revolt. After 1779, Britain had to bolster homeland defense against a possible, but as it turned out not probable, France-Spanish invasion of England.
Britain's American policy changed from one of destroying completely George Washington's ragtag army and crushing the Patriot Movement to one of capturing a few American cities and using the occupation of port cities as bargaining chips in the negotiations leading up to the peace treaty ending hostilities.
However, in his royal address on this day, the Tory Monarch was seemingly rejecting the sound advice of many politicians to grant America its independence and concentrate on fighting European foes. By 1780, England greatly had reduced armed forces in America and brought them home to defend the mother country and moved others, mainly naval forces, to the Caribbean to protect valuable colonies there.
Britain's change in war aims and strategy made, in retrospect, almost inevitable that the struggling 13 mainland American colonies could and, indeed, would gain their independence from "tyrannical Great Britain."
George III's refusal to be flexible and change his initial policy of all-out war in America to one that would take into consideration changing geopolitical circumstances in Europe was due in part to the bad advice being given him by his closest advisers, especially Lord John Stuart Bute, to the acquiescence of his overly pliable Oxford-educated Prime Minister Lord Frederick North, and to the king's innate stubbornness and unassertiveness.
During the "unpleasantness in America" (the War for American Independence), the hardworking, but somewhat insecure George III, was increasingly unpopular for being the Monarch who was "losing" the American colonies. However, this unpopularity was short-lived since he later achieved notable success and popularity in rallying his country to oppose Revolutionary France and defeat Napoleonic France.
The political battles of the late 1770s and 1780s in England between Tories (supporters of the Monarch, Lord North and their prosecution of the war in America) and Whigs (who criticized George III and his overly pliant prime minister for their failing military strategy in America, for their opposing American independence, and for their exercising excessive Monarchical and Ministerial authority) has led many historians to consider the War for American Independence as a civil war, which saw Tories and Whigs battling politically in Britain, and Tories (Loyalists) and Whigs (Patriots) in America battling militarily and politically.

ŌĆ£Agriculture is a big part of Haywood and Western North Carolina,ŌĆØ said Tina Masciarelli, project coordinator for the Buy Haywood initiative. ŌĆ£Support of these farmers by buying high-quality local produce keeps farms viable and preserves access to fresh foods, and also protects the farmland, rural character and heritage of the region.ŌĆØ
At its most basic level, Buy Haywood is a marketing effort to get people to purchase local farm goods and products made from those goods (see accompanying story). On a larger scale, it is about connecting different parts of the economy for mutual benefits and is part of an effort to preserve whatŌĆÖs left of a rural lifestyle.
Buy Haywood is managed by the Haywood County Economic Development Commission. Working collaboratively is one of the main objectives of the EDC. Executive Director Mark Clasby points to three key elements for local economic development: working with existing businesses by also helping small ones expand; recruiting new businesses to come to the county; and promoting new businesses that are just getting off the ground.
ŌĆ£I think Haywood is ahead of the curve,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£So many communities donŌĆÖt have the collaboration we have here, and many people donŌĆÖt realize how unique we are. If people are going to go into business, we want to try and help you because it can be challenging.ŌĆØ
Ron Leatherwood, former Board Chairman for the Haywood Chamber of Commerce, sees the productivity but also notes thereŌĆÖs still more to be done.
ŌĆ£Public awareness needs to grow, and I donŌĆÖt think weŌĆÖve reached the apex yet, but there are pockets of participants,ŌĆØ he said.
Leatherwood, who is part owner of Clark and Leatherwood Construction, feels the ŌĆ£Buy HaywoodŌĆØ program is just the beginning for the county. ItŌĆÖs a great start, and something each resident needs to recognize, nurture and share.
ŌĆ£To me, if youŌĆÖre doing business with your neighbor, it just builds a stronger bond throughout the community,ŌĆØ he said.
Besides being a project coordinator for Buy Haywood, Masciarelli is the CEO/founder of SOFIOL Press in Waynesville. She supports reinvesting back in the county. To her, itŌĆÖs individual acts in small communities that plant the seeds of restoring wealth into the American dream.
ŌĆ£Supporting a living economy ŌĆö where power resides locally ŌĆö creates a framework for long-term economic viability that is highly adaptive and self-reliant,ŌĆØ she said.
SEE ALSO: Haywood soda company aims to change palettes
For 2013, Buy Haywood is looking to host a series of cooking demonstrations by local chefs that will feature locally grown fruits and vegetables. There are also plans to create a Buy Haywood sticker (to be placed on every product from participating businesses), and the fourth edition of the Haywood County farm map will soon be available.
Though consumer confidence can take time, Leatherwood sees the market returning. It may not be as fast of a rebound as some had hoped, but the uptick is noticeable ŌĆö that in itself creates opportunities for people to invest in larger items and reinvest in their own backyard.
ŌĆ£This is what a small, rural community is and should be; itŌĆÖs what Haywood County is, which is a great place to live and do business,ŌĆØ he said.
Want to know more?
Information about the ŌĆ£Buy HaywoodŌĆØ initiative can be found at www.buyhaywood.com or by calling 828.734.9574. The marketing development office is located at 144 Industrial Park Drive in Waynesville.

Waterloo school board OKs retirement incentive
The Waterloo Community Schools board has approved an early retirement incentive that's already been offered to 115 teachers.
The board voted final approval on Monday.
The incentive is aimed at helping cut the budget for the next school year.
If 65 to 80 teachers were to retire, the district could save up to $1.6 million. Officials estimate a savings of $20,000 per teacher as experienced teachers are replaced with less experienced staffers.
Teachers must be at least 55 and have 13 years of service in the district to qualify for the incentive. They would receive an annual supplemental benefit of $10,000 for three years after retiring at the end of the current contract year.

"I love the 'Open Forum for Non-Catholics' shows. I have learned so much from these programs, and they've helped me to not be caught off-guard when I'm called to answer friends, family members, and co-workers who question the teachings and doctrines of the Church."
~ Tom
"Where the bishop is, there is the community, even as where Christ is, there is the Catholic Church."
~ Ignatius of Antioch (Smyrn., viii, 2) circa A.D. 110, laid down this principle on true union with the Church, versus schism; all the more impressive because his casual use of the word "Catholic" demonstrates the widespread acceptance of the term at a very early date.

To be, and stay, eligible for unemployment insurance (UI) benefits the Employment Development Department (EDD), the agency that handles UI, needs to know that you are:
- Able to work;
- Available for work (the subject of this Fact Sheet);
- Actively searching for work;
- Accepting suitable work; and
- Reporting any income you earn.
Each of these requirements is discussed in detail in a separate Fact Sheet. This Fact Sheet gives you general information about reporting to the EDD and discusses, specifically, what it means to be "available for work."
How does the EDD know whether I meet the requirements?
The EDD gathers information on whether or not you continue to be eligible for UI benefits through a form called the Continued Claim Form, which you should receive in the mail every 2 weeks. If you are not receiving your Continued Claim Forms you should contact the EDD immediately and request that the forms be sent. You must complete and return a Continued Claim Form for each week you want your unemployment claim to be active. You will only be paid UI benefits for each week that you meet all the above requirements and send a completed Continued Claim Form to the EDD (on or before the deadline) to show that you are eligible.
What does the Continued Claim Form ask?
The Continued Claim Form asks questions about your ability to work, your availability for work, your search for work and any income that you earn in the time period covered by the form. It also asks if you have begun attending any kind of school or training program, because school or training may affect your availability to work and your search for work. The back section of the form provides space to give details about your search for work; you are required to complete this section for the EDD only if the box asking you to do so on the front of the form has been marked "X" in black ink. Most people are not required to complete this section for the EDD each week.
The answers you give on the Continued Claim Form determine whether or not you qualify for any UI benefits each week. If you do not complete and return the Continued Claim Form every 2 weeks as required, the EDD will assume you are not eligible for any UI benefits and cancel your claim.
What does it mean to be "available for work"?
Generally speaking, being "available for work" means there is nothing to keep you from being able to immediately accept and begin a new full-time job. Here are some common examples of situations that may cause the EDD representative to think you do not meet the requirement of being available for work:
- Illness, injury or medical condition
- Current lack of childcare arrangements
- Enrollment or participation in unapproved school or training program
- Self-employment/independent contracting
- Plans for travel/recreation
- Restrictions on days and hours you are willing to work
- Transportation restrictions that prevent you from getting to and from work
- Search for part-time work only
- Lack of jobs in labor market
Each of these situations is discussed further below.
What if I am only available for to work for a portion of a particular week?
If the restriction on your availability for work prevents you from working for only a portion of a particular week, you may still be eligible for a pro-rated percentage of your weekly UI benefits, meaning you still may be able to be paid benefits for the day or days you were actually available for work. If, however, you have an illness or injury that keeps you from working or searching for work for more than 8 days, you should consider filing a claim with the EDD for temporary (state) disability insurance instead.
What if I have an illness, injury or medical condition?
If you have an illness, injury or medical condition (including pregnancy) that prevents you from working in your usual field, the EDD may disqualify you for the payment of UI benefits for all or part of a week because you do not meet the requirements of being able to work and available for work. In these situations, the EDD may consider you unavailable for work only because you are physically or emotionally unable to work, meaning, once you are physically or emotionally able to work again, you should be able to reopen your claim. You may be able to avoid a denial based on illness by convincing the EDD that you can accept work despite your illness or injury. (For more information about disqualification caused by physical or emotional inability to work, see our Fact Sheet Unemployment Insurance: Continued Eligibility Requirements–Ability to Work.")
What if I do not have current childcare arrangements?
The EDD often thinks that workers without childcare arrangements will not be able to immediately accept and begin new full-time work. Therefore, the EDD considers most workers without firm childcare arrangements to be unavailable for work and ineligible for benefits. The EDD usually determines whether or not you have young children and adequate childcare arrangements during the initial telephone determination interview. During that interview, however, the EDD should explain that the question: "Do you have childcare?" is not limited to paid childcare arrangements. It does not matter whether childcare arrangements are with paid providers or with unpaid family or friends. For this reason, if you have childcare issues, it is important to give the EDD the name of someone—whether paid or unpaid—who is available to care for your child or children if you are offered a job or a job interview. The EDD will then know that you will not let your childcare responsibilities get in the way of accepting a new job or attending a job interview.
What if I am enrolled in or attending school or a training program?
There are two ways to be eligible for unemployment while you are in school. You will be eligible if you can show that you can still work full-time while in school or training. This means you should enroll in classes offered at times and on days that are outside your normal work hours. For example, if you normally work in an office with normal business hours, going to school at night or on weekends should not affect your benefits. If you normally work at night (for example, people who work in bars and people who can work the graveyard shift), you should be able to attend school during the day and still be eligible.
You will also be eligible if your school or training school or training has been pre-approved through the California Training Benefits (CTB) program, operated by the EDD. Many workers who need additional job skills will qualify for free training through this CTB program, and also be allowed to receive UI benefits without being considered unavailable for work. For more information on how to qualify for the CTB program, contact the EDD directly.
What if I am currently working for myself or working as an independent contractor?
The EDD sees self-employment or independent contractor work as similar to attendance at school, described above. Generally, it is considered something that will prevent you from accepting and beginning a new full-time job. For this reason, you may be eligible for the payment of UI benefits only if you can show that your self-employment or independent contractor work is something you perform during work days or hours that do not conflict with the typical hours worked in your field of employment. Also, the EDD requires you to report on your Continued Claim Form the amount of income you earn each week, including income from self-employment or independent contractor work, and will reduce your weekly benefit amount by subtracting 75% of the earnings you reported from that week's unemployment check.
What if I have plans to travel or take a vacation?
All activities that take you away from the search for work, or make it impossible for you to accept work that might be offered to you, will disqualify you for payment of UI benefits. Therefore, you normally will be disqualified for as long as you are on vacation and away from the labor market. However, if you continue to report to the EDD every two weeks through the Continued Claim Form, you should be able to reopen your claim as soon as your vacation/travels end. If you are traveling in search of work in a different labor market, you may still be eligible for the payment of UI benefits, but you will have to show the EDD that the main purpose of your travel is to look for work and that you have arranged your travel in such a way that you will not be missing any potential offers of work in your current area. For example, you should be ready to convince the EDD that someone is checking your mail and messages, and you have a way of returning immediately if necessary.
What if I am only looking for work on certain days of the week, or within certain hours of the day?
Many people assume that it doesn't matter what type or amount of work they are looking for, as long as they are looking for work. The EDD, however, expects all workers who are receiving UI benefits to be flexible about work days and work hours and expects most workers to look for full-time work (more information below). Any restrictions you place on the type or amount of work you are seeking will cause the EDD to look very closely at whether you still meet the requirement of being available for work and may cause a disqualification. The only restrictions that are generally allowed are restrictions based on physical or emotional disability or restrictions that fall outside the normal work hours in a particular field of work.
What if I am only looking for part-time work?
A part-time restriction will be allowed only under three circumstances:
- you have a history of working part-time during your "Base Period*" and you would be willing to accept work under conditions similar to those in your "Base Period*" and there are part-time jobs available in your occupation; or
- your part-time restriction is based on a physical or emotional disability, but you can still work in your normal occupation; or
- If you are a college student who can show that you have been enrolled in school and supporting yourself by way of only part-time work for at least 2 years.
* For more information about the "Base Period," see our Fact Sheet Unemployment Insurance Eligibility Requirements: Past Earnings Requirement / Weekly Benefit Amount.
What if I have transportation restrictions that prevent me from getting to and from work?
If the EDD thinks you cannot get to a job, you will be considered unavailable for work. If you are unwilling to drive a certain distance from your home (usually one hour or less) or if you cannot take public transportation, you may be ineligible for UI benefits. If you have transportation problems, you should be ready to tell the EDD how you will fix the problem, such as getting someone you know to give you a ride to work or to the bus stop. If you cannot take the bus because you don't know how, you should contact the bus companies to find out the best way to travel to the places you find work. If you explore different commuting options, you have a better chance of convincing the EDD that you will not have a problem getting to work if you are offered a job.
What if there really aren't any other jobs like my usual job in the area that I live?
To be considered available for work, there must be work (for which you are qualified) available in the area that you live. Some people have such unusual fields of work that not many job opportunities exist. If you have a very specialized field of work, you may be eligible to receive UI benefits only if you are living in an area where that type of work is in demand.
What should I do if I am disqualified for benefits based on "availability to work"?
A disqualification because of unavailability to work will last only as long the reason for your unavailability exists. For example, if you have been disqualified because of enrollment in school, you may become eligible at the end of the school term. Similarly, if you have been disqualified because you were willing to accept only part-time work, you may become eligible once you are willing to accept full-time work. For this reason, you may choose to handle the disqualification in either of two ways:
- If you believe you have been wrongfully disqualified, you may appeal (see appeal information below) the disqualification, or
- If you believe that you have been rightfully denied unemployment insurance benefits because you are temporarily unavailable to perform work, you may ignore the disqualification notice and simply contact the EDD to "reopen" the claim after your condition no longer prevents you from working.
Accepting the denial and reopening the claim at a later date will delay your benefits. However, it may not affect the total amount of benefits you can receive because the "cap" on benefits will remain the same. (You can normally receive up to 26 weeks of benefits in one year.)
What do I have to do to appeal?
If you intend to appeal the disqualification, you must send a written appeal to the EDD, stating that you disagree with the disqualifying decision. The "Notice of Determination" that EDD sends to tell you about the disqualification normally will include a form for filing the appeal. You must send this form within 20 days of the notice of disqualification being mailed to you. There is a specific deadline for the appeal near the bottom of the notice from EDD. Any appeal sent more than 20 days after the EDD mailed your disqualification notice will be considered late. Late appeals will be allowed only if you can show you had "good cause" for being untimely, but good cause is very difficult to prove so it is very important to meet the deadline if at all possible.

I just had my 3rd child, and I was SO gung-ho about BF. I didn't even try with my 1st (NICU), had limited success with my second, until my ped advised me that he was losing weight and I had to do something about it.. and now I'm just so tired and frustrated.
I realize they eat a lot when they're wee, and I know he's growing even more because he was early.. and he's gaining weight (birth weight 6#7oz, yesterday he's at 7#10oz) But I'm EXHAUSTED. I've tried taking him to bed with me at night, but I can't sleep on my side, as tired as I am. He'll nurse on and on, but as soon as he drifts off to sleep and I move him, he'll scream and scream until I put him back on. Repeat, ALL DAY. I've started giving him formula at night because I'm just too tired to do it anymore by that time.
I don't know if my supply sucks, because when I pump, I'm only getting about an ounce out of each breast at a time. I started taking fenugreek last week, and it doesn't seem to be doing anything except giving me diarehha.
I know this is probably a big jumble of messy thoughts, but I'm so close to giving this up, and I hate that feeling. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Makeup Look: Bourjois Blue Eyeliner + Sugarpill Purple Lower Lashline (And A Wedding Proposal!)
The trick to make colored eyeliners work is to keep the rest of the eye makeup neutral or not-so-colorful, so that the focus is on the eyeliner. This is the look I wore in the MAC 109 Small Contour Brush review and Bourjois Contour Clubbing Eyeliner review.
Here are the products used:
Eyeshadow Primer – UDPP Eden
Eyelid – Sugarpill Afterparty
Contour Area – NYX Red Bean
Outer V – None
Highlight – Sugarpill Tako
Inner Corner – Sugarpill Tako
Lower Lash Line – Sugarpill Poison Plum, NYX Dark Brown
Eyeliner – Bourjois Contour Clubbing Blue Remix Eyeliner, Clio Brush Liner Kill Black
Eyelash Primer – Shiseido Nourishing Mascara Base
Mascara – Clio O'Tank Volume Mascara (this is the crappy mascara I was talking about in the previous post)
Eyebrow – Lioele Auto Eyebrow 02 Dark Brown

Wisconsin on Friday joined the growing number of states where federal judges have struck down same-sex marriage bans. The decision was cheered by lesbian and gay rights advocates, but it's not necessarily a final victory.
The ruling came the same day as a landmark lawsuit was filed against a similar ban in North Dakota, The Associated Press reported.
The Wisconsin ban violates the U.S. Constitution, said U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb. She said same-sex couples "are entitled to the same treatment as any heterosexual couple."
"I conclude that the Wisconsin laws prohibiting marriage between same-sex couples interfere with plaintiffs' right to marry, in violation of the due process clause, and discriminate against plaintiffs on the basis of sexual orientation, in violation of the (Constitution's) equal protection clause," the judge wrote.
Crabb did not immediately stay her own ruling, as some other federal judges issuing similar decisions have done, nor did she state that it takes effect right away.
Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said the current law restricting marriage to one man and one woman, which is written into the Wisconsin state constitution, "remains in force."
"While today's decision is a setback, we'll continue to defend the constitutionality of our traditional marriage laws and the constitutional amendment, which was overwhelmingly approved by voters," Van Hollen said. "I will appeal."
In her ruling, Crabb noted that all federal judges weighing in on state same-sex marriage bans have come to the same conclusion -- that such prohibitions should not stand -- since the Supreme Court's landmark ruling on U.S. v. Winsdor last June.
That 5-4 opinion, written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, struck down the Defense of Marriage Act's definition of marriage as only between a man and a woman but did not directly affect individual states' laws restricting marriage based on sexual orientation. Yet many federal judges have cited the decision on United States v. Windsor in their judgments, as well as the argument that same-sex marriage bans violate the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Several appeals courts have heard arguments on some of the district court rulings that have been challenged, though none has come out with its own decision. Van Hollen said he expects "the U.S. Supreme Court will give finality to this issue in their next term."
Even if it's not a final decision, LGBT advocates cheered Friday's ruling on Wisconsin.
"Across the country, the courts agree: Same-sex couples and their families need the dignity of marriage, and anti-marriage laws are indefensible," said Evan Wolfson, president of the advocacy group Freedom to Marry.
"... Today's decision in Wisconsin underscores that all of America is ready for the freedom to marry. It's time now for the Supreme Court to bring resolution nationwide."
Also on Friday, couples in North Dakota filed a federal lawsuit challenging the state's ban on same-sex marriage, making it the last state the country to challenge such a ban, according to the AP.
The suit was filed by seven couples in the U.S. District Court in Fargo, the AP reported.
Several state gay marriage bans have been overturned since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down parts of the Defense of Marriage Act.
North Dakota attorney general's office told the AP that it had not seen the suit and would not comment.
The state's ban was passed by 73 percent of voters in 2004, the AP reported.

Illinois Snowmobile Clubs & the IASC
|Local Snowmobile Clubs are the strength and backbone of the sport, not only in Illinois, but all across the snowbelt. All of the trails in Illinois operated on private land are the direct result of local club efforts that involve obtaining landowner permission, trail marking, and grooming. Through the unified voice and efforts of the many individuals working within their respective clubs, the sport of snowmobiling continues to flourish. Snowmobiling is a very special sport, offering more fun and personal enjoyment when done with the right group rather than alone. So join a club and get involved.
|Founded in 1972, the Illinois Association of Snowmobile Clubs (IASC) is a not-for-profit corporation whose membership is made up of local snowmobile clubs throughout Illinois. The primary purpose of the IASC is the promotion of the safety education program, general promotion of the sport of snowmobiling, assistance in organizing new snowmobile clubs, the establishment of a snowmobile information resource center, establishment of more interconnected snowmobile trails, and any other programs that are of common interest to snowmobile clubs on a statewide basis.
|If you would like to receive more information regarding the IASC or about locating a snowmobile club in your area, please contact the IASC office at the following address:

Join us at the bridgeJanuary 23,2013
Exxon Mobil is coming to Vermont.
Despite denials, there is no doubt that oil companies are quietly moving forward with a previous plan called Trailbreaker which would pump tar sands oil all the way from Alberta to Montreal to Portland, Maine.
From Montreal to Portland the tar sands oil would flow through an existing oil pipeline through the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont and the North Country of New Hampshire and past Sebago Lake in Maine. An existing oil pipeline in Vermont? Who knew?
Wait, its worse. The pipeline crosses numerous rivers and streams, goes by Victory Bog, and its 60 years old. The owners of the pipeline (the parent company is Exxon Mobil) were cited by federal regulators in 2009 for failure to properly maintain the pipeline. So.
On Wednesday, Jan. 23, at noon on the bridge over the Connecticut River on Route 2 near Lancaster, N.H., delegations from Vermont and New Hampshire will join hands over the river for a peaceful protest against tar sands oil. The pipeline is 100 yards downstream from the bridge, and upstream from half of New England.
Will you join us? For more info see www.tarsandsfreene.org, or on Facebook.
See you on the bridge.

Another video conferencing FIRST was announced today: The FIRST video conferencing service that lets business users engage in HD room and desktop video conferencing VIA THEIR SMART PHONES AND TABLETS. We're talking about enterprise-grade, multi-party, TV-quality video conferencing on your smart phone or tablet!
This goes way beyond one mobile device interacting with another mobile device. This new mobile service from leading Nordic communications service provider, Elisa, is being piloted on the Samsung Galaxy phone and tablet. Unlike other recent announcements, this is not something that anyone has to wait for or wonder about. It's available today – in the Nordic region using the Elisa service on a Galaxy Tab or smart phone.
Video conferencing for Enterprises is becoming main stream. And for this reason, businesses are looking for conferencing products and technology that are MOBILE, to let anyone, anywhere participate. They're looking for services and solutions that let you connect to important conferences on your smart phone or tablet, along with other participants who are on room systems, desktops, laptops, etc. If you've been following the news and this blog then you know that, yes, it is only Vidyo who offers the SVC-based architecture to make this possible.
[Click here to watch a clip posted in last week's blog post that demonstrates VidyoMobile on a Samsung Galaxy]
Businesses that are investing in enterprise-grade video conferencing today need to know that the solution they choose can be leveraged, not only across room systems and desktop video communications, but will also extend beyond, into the realm of mobile devices. They need to invest in an architecture that serves the widest variety of communications devices. That's why more and more service providers, such as Elisa, along with carriers, distributors, and Enterprise customers are turning to Vidyo.
As always, please let us know if you have any questions or comments about this!

I agree I think its a brilliant idea. The teams which give their all against the tops sides and only just get pipped are rewarded, whereas getting hammered gets you sweet FA . The only thing it does do is when the top sides do get beat they still usually get a point. I think it would be much more valuable if they moved to three points for a win instead of two and kept the bonus point.
It already is 3 points for a win in the Championships!!!!!!!! (2 for a draw and 1 for losing by 12 or less)

The hills are alive
April 14, 2011 —
It wasn't only the sound of music that I experienced this week, but there was plenty of that along the way. I stopped by the Nugget in Monticello and heard singer/songwriter Tony Penn belt out a tune or two as I belted back a shot (or two) while sampling their new menu, which was delish. Penn was performing solo that night, but he and new singing partner Sara Hulse have formed a partnership, "The Haunted" (facebook.com/hauntedofficial#!/pages), and (IMHO) they are off to a swell start.
"To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls, over stones on it's way" came to mind as I recalled what a great time everyone had last fall when the Laugh Tour (TheLaughTour.com) made it's way to The Nutshell (Nutshellarts.com) in Lake Huntington, NY, and Saturday night's show was no exception. The ethnic-based humor of newcomer Subhah Agabwal gave way to blond bombshell Rachel Robbins' self deprecating riffs on dealing with men, while host Rich Kiamco's gay rants (oddly, his act was about men, too!) led up to headliner Dan Naturman, who hit a major slam dunk with his hilarious set.
All of the comics were on point, and it's nice to know that the community at large comes out to support this kind of entertainment. With future comedy nights scheduled for June, September and November, visiting the website will give everyone an opportunity to catch an upcoming show. These talented comics have been seen repeatedly on national television, so evenings like these, right here at home, are not to be missed.
The Event Gallery Series at Bethel Woods (bethelwood scenter.org/bwevents) is still the best-kept not-so-secret in town and the new season of free-to-the-public family concerts got underway on Sunday when Maxwell Kofi Donkor, an international master drummer, dancer, choreographer, sculptor and cultural educator, was in the house with the Sankofa African Dance & Drum Ensemble performing (as the song goes) "songs they have sung for a) thousand years."
Donkar "considers the preservation of the indigenous Ghanaian art and culture his mission." The troupe engaged the audience, drawing us into the stories, through song and dance, of life in the small village where many of them were raised. "Our ancestors are all here with us now" he shared with the large crowd of children and adults "and we celebrate by calling to them now."

What a day….
First, some good news. The Phillies yesterday made it official as they signed reliever Chan Ho Park, formerly of the Los Angeles Dodgers, to a one-year, $2.5 million dollars contract, to pitch for the Phils in 2009, after having past his physical. The right hander, who will be fighting for the fifth spot in the Phillies' starting rotation with Kyle Kendrick, J.A. Happ, and minor leaguer Carlos Carrasco, but will more than likely be coming out of the bullpen, has pitched in 378 games, and starting in 280 of them, in a 15 years career as a major leaguer, with a record of 117 wins and 92 loses with an ERA of 4.34. For the 2008 Dodgers, he has appeared in 54 games, all but 5 of them coming out of the bullpen, going 4-4 on the year with a 3.40 ERA.
Later that day, the Phillies signed righthanded second baseman Marcus Giles to a minor league contract, with an invite to spring training, for $600,000. Although signed by the Colorado Rockies in 2008, he was released by them before the start of the 2008 season. His last full season in the majors was in 2007, where he played for the San Diego Padres for 116 games, going 96 for 420 for a .229 average, knocking in 39 RBIs on 19 2Bs, 3 3Bs and 4 HRs, while scoring 52 runs. In three years in the majors, he has a career batting average of .277, knocking in 333 RBIs on 187 2Bs, 16 3Bs and 76 HRs, while scoring 468 runs. Giles will more than likely, if he makes the team in spring training, be used as the second baseman while Chase Utley continues to recover from hip surgery, and then be used as insurance at second base and their right handed bat off of the bench after Utley's return.
Now, the bad news. J.C. Romero has been suspended by MLB for the first 50 games of the season for violating the league's drug policy, inspite of the fact that he has done nothing wrong, while doing every thing that he could to avoid violating the policy, as he took an over-the-counter supplement, bought from a Cherry Hill GNC, that contain traces of a substance that is on the MLB's do not take policy. My opinion is that this is just flat-out bogus.
Other folks elsewhere have already commented on this, and I'm just going to give my two cents. I consider Romero the victim of bad advice, being told that the new product that he had bought over-the-counter from GNC was at the time okay to take, as the player's association has told him that everything bought from a nutrition store like GNC was okay, as well as being told by three different nutritionists that it was safe to use, but never being informed that there was actually an illegal substance in it, according to the Center for Drug Free Sports. He only realized that something was wrong when he was told that he had tested positive during a drug test done on him on Aug. 26 in Sept., before, if the time line is correct, being informed that he has failed again on September 19. Romero took immediate action, and stop taking all of his supplements, not know which one has caused the positive reading, thus rating a negative when he was tested again on October 1, before the playoffs, so that whatever was that was in his system has finally passed through. But, he was at the time offered a deal by major league baseball: Admit that you was wrong in taking it and take a 25 games suspension, effective immediately, or, take your chances with arbitration, lose and get a 50 games suspension. Romero, who honestly believe that he has done nothing wrong (as would anyone who is following this very carefully, and without any bias), told them no on the plea, and decided to take his chances with an arbitrator. Sadly, the arbitrator found in favor of MLB, and Romero is now out for 50 games.
This whole thing would be funny, if not for the fact that Romero had done everything he could to not be in this present situation, as he kept asking if the product was safe to use, as did the Yankees' Sergio Mitre, who also bought an over-the-counter product from GNC, that has also gotten him into hot water, with the same results, and are both now being penalized, and having their good names dragged through the mud because of other people's mistakes, because these same people have been burned by the steroid era of the 90s and the reaction from the U.S. Congress a few years back. (Yeah, yeah, I know a few of you out there are saying sour grapes, but please read all of the articles on this, before making knee jerk reactions. It took me over a day before I'd decided to write about this, and it was only after reading several articles and seeing the reactions to it on several other blogs, and, for the most part, I am reading that people, in general, think that the two of them are both getting a raw deal.) Yeah, you heard me. This is the MLB trying to tell Congress and the public, see, see, we're cleaning up our act. Sorry, guys, but for you to convince me, you need to do a whole lot better than this, when it doesn't look that you're trying to kiss up to the U.S. Congress. You guys are pathetic.
Anyway, I'm hoping that the Phillies will take advantage of the situation. How? Remember people, Romero will be gone for 50 games, plus how many games he might miss trying to get back into the swing of things, if the Phillies don't have him pitching in their minor league system to get himself ready. Romero will thus be fresh and ready to go when the second half grind start. I feel sorry for the batters JC'll be facing if he decides to use it as an opportunity to defend his honor by taking it out on them for the rest of the year.🙂

Here's the problem I have with the supplements that Romero took – it is the REASON that he took them. The articles that I have read said that he took them because he needed a "pick-me-up", something to give him more energy because the season is so long and he was getting tired. Any intelligent person would need to be suspect of any supplement/drug – over the counter or not – that could give a person the sort of jolt that he was looking for. (In one article I read Romero said some people drank coffee or energy drinks for the caffeine boost. He took the supplements.) Just because a "drug" is available at the local GNC doesn't make it safe. If he truly didn't know what was in some pill that he was putting into his body then shame on him. When it comes to something this serious no one should be depending on someone else to be giving them the correct answer.
The thing you seem to be missing is this: Romero was asking if the product is safe so that he wouldn't be taking a substance that MLB deemed illegal, especially after the way MLB got raked over the coals by the U.S. Congress after the revelation that a lot of players back in the 90s were taking steroids. He asked not once, but several times. Also, I'd just discovered through another article that MLB knew that the product in question had the illegal substance back in July, around about the time that JC bought the supplement, but it appeared that the Players Association were not told of this finding, and therefore told JC that the product was good to go, when in fact it wasn't. The real remedy for this would probably be the following: No supplements, period, for either athletes, or the common guy. See, problem solved. Want a pick me up, just drink coffee, although I'm sure someone will try to spike that as well.

Glazed oranges
Here a fat-free sauce is made using frozen juice concentrate. Serve this as a juicy, light dessert or as part of brunch.
4 oranges
6 ounces frozen pineapple-orange or pineapple juice concentrate, thawed
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Sprigs of fresh mint for garnish
Zest the peel from 2 of the oranges. To prepare the glaze, stir together the zest and juice concentrate in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. When the liquid comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly, until the concentrate reduces and darkens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice; set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, peel the oranges. Place them on dessert plates. Pour the glaze over each orange and top with a small mound of orange zest. Provide knives and forks for easy eating.
Advance Preparation
The oranges will keep for up to 2 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

It looks like the loonies that believe every conspiracy theory on the Internet were put back to work during my vacation.
White supremacy as a belief evolved out of the practice of people in power, who defined themselves as white as a way of differentiating themselves from those over whom they wielded that power. Of course, until the dismantling of Jim Crow in the South, white supremacy was a norm, and before the Civil War, slavery was a norm.
White supremacy was so normal in 1964 that after the defeat of Goldwater, the Republican Party adopted thinly veiled racist appeals to attract white voters who felt betrayed by the reluctant Democratic Party support for civil rights legislation. Openly racist public officials like Jesse Helms, Strom Thurmond and Trent Lott, even after their affiliations with white supremacist organizations were publicized, continued to be elected. The Republican appeals to white supremacy were cloaked as opposition to welfare, as "states rights," and as concern about "crime." As late as 1999 the Republican-controlled House of Representatives blocked a vote to condemn the Council of Conservative Citizens, a white supremacist organization with whom then-Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott had close ties.

They say doing time changes you, but did you know that it can also help MDA — the Muscular Dystrophy Association — save and improve the lives of people fighting muscle disease?
Muscle disease is a critical health problem that takes away abilities like running, dancing, hugging, smiling, and even breathing. Although our Jailbirds are only "locked up" for one hour, the loss of mobility that occurs when muscles stop working — and the limitations on freedom and independence that can cause — are for life.
Become a Jailbird. Go "behind bars" with some of the most prominent business and community leaders in your area, and ask your family, friends and business contacts to make donations toward your "bail." These funds will help MDA find treatments and cures, support families with life-enhancing programs and resources, and rally communities everywhere to fight back against muscle disease.

Everyone knows the spotlight will be on Carmelo and Kevin Garnett at the TD Garden. Things got physical as expected in the first meeting of the year between the Knicks and the Celtics. The Knicks want that title now, but Anthony and his teammates were reminded how tough the Celtics can make it.
Anthony had 20 points but shot 6 of 26 while battling his temper, Garnett and foul trouble.
Garnett denied the postgame altercation.
"Listen, heat of the battle, man. Guys go back and forth. He's trying to get his team to go, I'm trying to get my team to go, both teams are colliding, not to mention that it's the Knicks and the Celtics," Garnett said. "Just what it is, man."
J.R. Smith led the Knicks with 24 points. Tyson Chandler had 13 points and 17 rebounds.
"I didn't know what was going on at that point in time," Knicks forward Amare Stoudemire said. "It's strictly basketball. We have to keep it on the basketball court and make sure we come to play every night. Boston will definitely bring the intensity and aggressive play. We got to be able to match that.
This is what he does. He catches from far away. He shoots from far away. Sometimes he doesn't even look at the rim. He's literally programmed with rim radar. With nobody defending, I'll take Steve Novak as my pick to win the 2013 NBA Three-Point Shootout.
The 2013 NBA All-Star Game should feature a batch of fresh faces ready to show the world that they're for real
Chandler leads the league with an insane 70.3 field-goal percentage. Improving with age, he is now one of the game's elite scorers working off the pick-and-roll.
He has also mastered the catch-and-dunk to such perfection that the MSG Network's crew formulated the nickname "Lob Gotham City." Ever since the Knicks signed him prior to the 2011 season, he has been the hero New York deserves.
With his All-Star-caliber play, Smith has become the New York Knicks' co-MVP.
Smith has always been one of the most mercurial players in the NBA. For every great performance came another one in which you were left wondering why Smith was even granted the opportunity to play.
At the age of 27, however, it appears as if Smith has finally put it all together.
White was approached by union officials last week about the dunk competition. The union has more influence in the Saturday night skill competitions in the new format in which the conferences compete against each other. A team captain will be chosen for the East and West and make the final call on participants.
With the focus on KG tonight look for P Double to have a great night. He stuggled in their last game vs the Cavs. Hate him or Love him Paul Peirce is a big game player especially after a not so good game. Who ever is on PP needs to run him off the 3 point line and not fall for the pump fake to get you in the air and him at the charity stripe

The Celtics are not playing well right now, theres no real hunger or a sense of urgency in their play. The only people I would worry about are Paul and Rondo. They play well in big games and seem to love beating the Knicks. I expect a very physical game because Knicks need the win, plus they will look weak and dysfunctional if they lose to the struggling Celtics now. Im thinking Boston will catch second wind towards the end of the season, but right now the Knicks have the advantage and should pwn them thoroughly in this game. Dont be surprised if some technicals are dished out in this game. Hopefully Melo is well fed this time around; perhaps he should play like a cereal killer and devour the beef once and for all.
Old Homestead co-owner Greg Sherry with his porterhouse-Honey Nut-Bordelaise creation, inspired by Carmelo Anthony-Kevin Garnett feud.
Better Melo step up and break Paul Poo knees.
Can't handle loosing to them again.. For the love of god just win this one PLEASE...
we cant loose that
i just cant handle Barkley if we loose
most imporant hope for Pierce wont be streaky again he sucked vs Bulls with KG too only Rondo was keeping them till 6th foul
that are 2nd mission after 2-2 with NEts
We better beat these ****ers...

we have to USE situation of C's right now i dont remember when last time Knicks won @ TD garden
Really could do with a win in this one, not only because its the Celtics but also to boost our record in Atlantic Division games. I think one of the play-off seeding tie breaks is division record and the Nets are 9-3 while we're only 4-3. Unless we go pretty much unbeaten against Atlantic Division opponents for the rest of the season the Nets could have the tie break advantage come play-off time.
This is some BullShaaaat ....
I bet $$$ on Boston at MSG, now Im expected to bet $$$ on Knicks at Boston Garden.
My Brooklyn Neighbor lost to me on the 49ers & Raven games, and won it all back in the 4 days rested Knicks home-game vs Brooklyn.
39 games in the season and my Knicks are still softer than the cookie
losing two games from "points off of turnovers" we score 5 points off of 19 turnovers why? Melo & JR total 13-44 fga in a game we only shot 76 fga ..
Im not going for that "Honeynutcheerios" bullshaaaat, if we won dat game do u think Melo wouldve went to KG bus???????????
Im losing $$$ on important games because two-idiots dont want to PASS the ball...
I agree if we win he does not show up outside. I think Melo is cool enough to put everything into perspective moving forward. He knows he and the Knicks as a team have been hit hard with T's so dont expect any drama. In regards to passing the ball I actually think we are moving the ball pretty good just not for 4 quarters. We need to play the second and third quarter like 1st and 4th.

Good afternoon.
The State Board of
Education met today to discuss the impact the Governor's education budget vetoes
will have on the agency's ability to provide support and oversight of grant
programs to
The State Board has directed me to complete my analysis of the impact of the proposed cuts and give them two options: one which eliminates all the positions contemplated by the vetoes, and another that retains a number of those positions so that we can meet our statutory responsibilities for managing grant programs.
A special meeting of the board will be scheduled soon to decide what steps the agency will take to balance its budget.
Until the Board gives me final direction, it is impossible to tell you exactly what the impact of the cuts will be on local districts. As proposed, however, it is safe to say that administration of teacher certification, early childhood, GED and Administrator's Academy would be significantly affected.
I will keep you fully informed as this matter progresses.
