In the nearly 40 years since our inception, RCHS has grown from a small facility run by volunteers to a professionally managed humane society that provides quality shelter care, adoption services, education programs and an animal safehouse for the survivors of domestic violence.
The newest program at RCHS is the Second Chance Program. RCHS will take dogs, cats and rabbits from the three county shelters (and other municipal shelters) who are unable to hold their animals very long as they must constantly make room for the seemingly never ending influx of unwanted animals. Since we are able to keep our adoptable animals longer (because RCHS is a limited admission shelter), these dogs and cats are given a "second chance" for adoption.
The Rancho Coastal Humane Society is a non-profit, 501(c)3, charitable
organization. We are not tax supported, nor are we funded by any government agency.
Before you can see (that is, pet, cuddle, walk, and get to know) any animal you've seen in our kennels, we'll ask you to complete some paperwork. This paperwork must be completed first in order to minimize stress for you and the animals. Our process includes asking questions in order to make the best match between animal and owner. We like to gain a better understanding about your expectations, past experiences, and current animals at home.
Once all the paperwork has been satisfactorily completed, you may handle and visit the animal you're interested in. You'll have a counseling session with a knowledgeable member of our staff who will fill you in on the history and needs of that animal, and his feeding and exercise requirements. You can ask your counselor any questions about spaying or neutering, housetraining, obedience training, scratching (in cats), veterinary care, how to deal with fleas and ticks, and anything else you can think of.
You will be asked to sign an adoption contract and pay an adoption fee. We will provide you with a list of all items and medical treatments that are included in your adoption fee.
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to Rancho Coastal Humane Society.
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

"Celtic Power" by Andy Slatter, is a powerful sounding fusion of real, live played 5- string banjo, and mandolins, mixed with cinematic trailer type percussion synth bass and drones. There is a strong mood of traditional Celtic folk, with a hint of country, backed up and enhanced by big percussion sounds, smooth bass, and mesmerizing drones.
"Celtic Power" is a modern sounding track, with nods to tradition. It would work perfectly in games, advertising, films, slideshows and websites. It is particularly suitable for any projects about Ireland, Scotland, Celts, St Patrick's Day, patriotism, ancestry, tradition, history, and travel and cuisine.
The track loops seamlessly, or can be ended as normal. All sections of the track are loop ready, so you could cut the track up and edit them further to create custom arrangements in a DAW/audio editor set to a tempo of 100 bpm.
If you need custom edits, please get in touch for a quote.
The zip contains the full track, in high quality wav format.
Buyers: Please take the time to rate this track, this will help me greatly! If you would be willing to let me know how you have used the track, I'm always interested, just use the contact form to let me know!

i have been following these guys for a while now. they've even been in time magazine, for goodness sake! hilarious people, ideed. i can't wait to stop by and see the place! definitely a road trip is in order.
i want to go for the ribbon cutting ceremony, but life will not allow
I love these guys, but I hope they wear something other than tank tops for pizza prep. Don't want a short-and-curly in my pie.
It's going to be a really cool spot! Mainly a restaurant with Brian's amazing pizza collection displayed throughout. I'm going to the opening, I think I'm wearing a big inflatable pizza suit for them. Let me know if anybody's going to if anyone's interested in hitching a ride.
they open in 2 days, and i'm nervous for them. their facebook page has a thousand people planning to attend the grand opening! sounds like a pizza traffic jam... that i'm sad i'm gonna miss!

Good lord there brother, I thought a finger was going to take a hike on you, especially that 2nd cut, made me jump a bit, even watched it twice. Nice pie by the way, carefull with them digits, they come in handy Jon
Great looking pies there Chau. One of the best looking maranara pies I've ever seen! That pepperoni, mushroom, and (bacon?) NY pie is a thing of beauty too. Craig
I'll take one of the #2 New Yorkers also, please. Wonderful pies Chau.
Great pictures, great videos thank you for sharing
Chau - you are a machine. I am in awe if your pizzas. One if these days you should have a masterclass - I would travel out your way to attend!John
God knows I love hot wings. A sweet/vinegar/heat thing with a bit of habanero's in there to give that citrusy heat thing.....ohhhhhhh yeah.......Jon
Great looking NY pie , so its 75%ap and 25% HG? or 00? thanks john
Crispy!! Saying your pizzas are beautiful has become so redundant, I won't even bother. In the video the crispy crunch really comes through. The rims do look puffier/fatter than your usual NY. I love how you primped your crust before the zoom in Did you find the AP/00 blend lighter or more tender than the BF/OO blend, or just crisper, or ??

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (1561 votes).
In short: enjoyed it again. at least water was better organised this year.Date of review: May 30, 2010
In short: It's hardly in Edinburgh!In full: There should have been information on the site that some parts of the course were run off tarmac, also there should have been an extra water station after 18 miles. There was a shower station about 3-4 miles from the finish, I might be a bit out on that distance but it was unmanned and it was very warm - very disappointing, the Edinburgh public were fantastic bringing out sweets and hose pipes to give welcome relief to very warm runners. The relay runners caused real issues, they were weaving all over the place, parts of the course were barely wide enough to accommodate both sets out of runners.The distance to the baggage truck was over long. The beer tent was a joke, they really misjudged the demand on a warm day, the queues were very very long. The organisers really misled runners on the distance from the finish to the bus pick up location, also they never put up a sign ahead of normal bus stops stating distance to go to correct locatation, this resulted in some runners trying to board at the incorrect stops - really bad as runners were obviously very tired!!.This event could have been so much better, there were many many significant issues I could never recommend it to anyone - a real shame as the Edinburgh public were fantastic, a real cockup overall by the organisers!!!Date of review: May 30, 2010
In short: PB Potential ..... if you can avoid the heatIn full: Most of my comments have been mentioned elsewhere.Excellent, reasonably flat course with superb support throughout the race. No problems this year running out of water although as others have stated an extra water point at 18 - 20 miles would help. Negatives: Matting at the end was terrible as was having hundreds of people trying to squeeze through a small gate to reach the reunion area. Excellent T-Shirt and Medal and great banter with fellow runners and the crowd. Start the marathon earlier so slower runners don't finish in horendous heat.Date of review: May 30, 2010
In short: Excellent marathon on a scorching Scottish dayIn full: This was my first marathon. Overall I thought the organisation was quite good. There are never enough toilets but the only real criticism on those lines is the two facing walls of toilets made for confusing queueing. Otherwise the start area I was on at Regent Road was fantastic. Good signage and a nice view of the city and Arthur's Seat before setting off. I know there were problems last year with running out of water at the aid stations but no such problem this year and it's a very good thing. It was an incredibly hot, scorching, baking day. The stations seemed to be well-situated; I didn't run out of fluids the whole race. The finish was well-organised also and first aid was excellent. The reason I know the first aid was good was because of this criticism: the plastic mats bolted to the grass in the final stretch. I fell and busted my knee requiring four stitches. I understand why the mats were needed. If it had rained we'd have been running on mud. It's just hard to go from concrete that doesn't give to plastic mats and grass that do. You've done 26 miles already, your legs will only lift so high. Surely other people fell. They weren't overly loose but they obviously can, and did, produce a hazard. Just something to think about maybe.Finally, the race was great, the organisation was good. The bits mentioned above are just minor annoyances. My one big criticism has to be the reunion area. It was in a park that had stone walls and two one-person size gates into the park. The backlog of people trying to get in was 30-deep. It was utterly ridiculous trying to get into that park. I know you can't just tear down the walls but something has to be done, especially if the race continues to grow. It should not be so difficult to get into the reunion area.Transportation is also a big criticism but given its suburban location there may not be anything else to be done. This is not London obviously. There just weren't enough public buses. They were going by full leaving loads of people to wait ages. With it being a Sunday the schedule was reduced. Surely, though, introducing some extra buses on marathon day is feasible. I did not use the race-organised transport so I have no comment on that. Perhaps it provided better service. We ended up going the opposite direction and getting on a train that also ended up packed with like-minded people. It worked out in the end because otherwise I reckon we'd have been hours waiting for a bus to town. Keeping with the transport, due to the road blockages my husband sat on the bus to get down to the race for nearly two hours and missed me by three minutes. Bus diversions are inevitable but, again, more services and maybe some better traffic management could be looked into. I was impressed with the Edinburgh marathon and would definitely do it again. One can only hope that next time it won't be so hot but there's nothing the organisers can do to fix that! Date of review: May 29, 2010
In short: Beautiful city, but more than 3/4 of the marathon was outside itIn full: I was amazed by the support and friendliness. The course was nice but starting at 8am would have made a hell of a difference to many peoples finish times I'm sure.The baggage and reunion areas were too far away from the finish. I didn't bother with an official photo at the end because of the long queues and blasting heat of the direct sunshine. Couldn't escape that sun at all. 1 mile from the finish to bags, 1 mile to bus, 1 mile from bus to hotel. Date of review: May 29, 2010
In short: Nice start, friendly , but a bit warm. Why couldn't we start at 8 and had anybody thought there were runners at the finish? In full: Great race, wonderful support (especially all the kids with water blasters), and thoroughly enjoyable except for two huge organisational issues. Why didn't we start at 8? The weather wasn't a surprise (it was hot last year as well) and yet the slowest marathon runners were made to run well into the afternoon. And did nobody think that what matters at the end of a marathon is getting the runners fed, watered and changed? The bag reclaim was half a mile away, the showers could handle about six at a time, and compared to the (free) soup and roll at the end of Loch Ness the food was pathetic. But like everybody else I'll be back hoping for better (and cooler) next year.Date of review: May 29, 2010
In short: Great atmosphere and course let down a little by organisersIn full: I'll get my major gripe out of the way first: starting he relay people in front of the main body of full marathoners was utter stupidity. A large portion of the relay folk plainly hadnt seen a race course before and seemed oblivious to the etiquette of moving out of the way before stopping dead with 6000 people coming behind you fast! Annoying and dangerous. I sent one poor lady flying when she stopped in front of me but could have ruined 6 months of training and buld up just because a "fun runner" was thrown into the mix with a lot of faster people.Every 6 miles the exhausted, usually walking chicanes would veer off the track, only to be replaced with a fresh batch of relayers who would innevitable stop dead after 2 miles and cause the probems all over again.If there is a relay next year then I wont be coming - its a marathon - keep it that way.Moan over - the good bits: The start was well marshalled and signposted and the first few miles through the sights of Edinburgh were fab, (shame we then left the city for the next 23 miles!). Local support was wonderful - hosepipes, unofficial water stations, fruit, food and jelly babies along with enthusiastic vocal support was an absoloute credit to the people of East Lothian who obviously cherish their marathon.I had no problems with the route other than the lack of water at the Gosforth House loop and the boingy finish mats. Signposting to the re-union area was total rubbish and the finish was a shables, but i was happilly clutching my fabulous quality medal and top notch t-shirt by then!If I dont get into London next year I may well be back... but not if the relay is on again!Date of review: May 29, 2010
Date of review: May 28, 2010
In short: Potential overcome by greedIn full: OK, after 'unseasonable' hot weather in 2006, 2009 and 2010, it's high time the organisers started the marathon a) earlier in the year b) earlier in the morning. In 2006 there were 'relay' runners to contend with as well as the heat. In 2010 there were relay runners AND half-marathoners. Whatever will the organisers dream up next to raise a few bob - burpee and press-up contests mid-course. Ridiculous. Choose one event and make it the best there is - for the runners. Starting the 1/2 marathon before the full marathon is plain dumb, guaranteeing the latter enduring the worst of the conditions for longer. And what wheeze have they dreamt up now? A Kilomathon. I ask you...Date of review: May 28, 2010
In short: Nice Race, Shame about HeatIn full: I quick literaly fell to pieces at mile 16... so hot. 25C in endinburgh in may, who would have thought it! If it were not for the crippling heat this would have a very enjoyable day out. The course is good and well arranged, although the starts a bit confusing (different roads for different waves). The goody bag is nice and the locals were out to support the runners. Overal: Good race but prepare for the heat!Date of review: May 28, 2010

Steak Tartare
- 2 anchovy fillets
- 2 cloves of crushed garlic, peeled
- 1 teaspoon capers
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 pound freshly ground beef tenderloin
- 1/4 cup minced shallots
- 4 tablespoons chopped egg whites
- 4 tablespoons chopped egg yolks
- 4 tablespoons brunoise red onions
- 4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 8 slices of white bread, crust removed, tossed in olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper and toasted
In a small wooden mixing bowl, combine the anchovy, capers and garlic. Using the back of a fork, crush the two and form a paste. Add the egg and mustard. Whisk well. Season with salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk in the oil, to form an emulsion. In a cold mixing bowl, combine the tenderloin and shallots. Season with salt and pepper. Add the emulsion and mix well. Form the tartare into 4 ounce rounds, about 1-inch thick. Place in the center of four cold plates. Garnish each with traditional garnishes. Serve with toast points.
Contains Raw Eggs: The Food Network Kitchen suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

This handsome boy turned three on Friday. We celebrated at Axel's favorite park he calls "spaceman park". My friend Andrea made an amazing cake for him. It was the best part of the party, besides seeing Axel being the center of attention by a bunch of adoring people.
I'm fairly certain that I could move mountains for him if he wanted me to.
I made a few things for him, one of them being these little pants. I think they turned out pretty darn cute. He likes them too.
The annual sheep drive happened on Saturday. These sheep have been resting in our pastures for the past few days. Today they continue their journey up to Waterworks Hill and beyond, where they will be responsible for weed removal. The lambs are a huge hit around here. The noises these animals make are hilarious, they sound vaguely human. And the herding dogs are so good at what they do. They keep these sheep in line, and make sure they don't wander off somewhere they shouldn't. It's nice to see dogs doing what they were meant to do.
The young lambs follow around their mama baaaaaaa-ing. It's a bit reminiscent of my own babes once upon a time.
This lovely, wind-blown robin is Agnes. She decided to build her nest in a box that hangs directly outside our front door. The foundation of her nest is actually a nest that Asa build in his preschool class. She took over, made some renovations and now calls it home. Unfortunately, whenever we walk in or out of the door, she flies a few feet away onto the fence that surrounds the front of our house. She chirps brazenly, looking right at us, warning us to stay away. She's been much more brave lately, and will sometimes remain in her nest despite too-close-for-comfort kids and such.
This is her giving me a warning. Can you see her looking right at me?
I figured she must have laid some eggs, judging by her behavior. So, we are all using the back door now, so as not to disturb her. Statistically, the odds of a robins egg hatching and the baby bird surviving, are not that great. So, we want to do everything we can to encourage Agnes to do what she needs to in peace and comfort.
See what I mean? This is our front door, and her nest is in that little box!
While she was off for a few minutes, I quickly stuck my camera up higher than I could see, to take a quick snapshot of whatever was in her nest. And, this is what I saw! Only one so far, I'm not sure if she will lay more or not. Typically a robin will lay two or three eggs. Only time will tell. I sure hope they make it.

Why do liberal and conservative evangelicals tend to disagree so often about economic issues? This is the third in a series of posts that addresses that question by examining 12 principles that generally drive the thinking of conservative evangelicals when it comes to economics. The first in the series can be found here. Part 2 can be found here. A PDF/text version of the entire series can be found here.
7. The best way to compensate for structural injustice is to increase order and individual freedom.
As it relates to economics, structural injustice could be defined as occurring when outside forces unjustly limit some person's opportunities to enact their morally legitimate plans. Almost all evangelicals – whether liberal or conservative — agree that structural injustices still exist and that they must be opposed. Where we disagree is about what forms of structural injustice are most pervasive in 2014 and how they should be corrected.
We tend to think of structural injustices as macro-level phenomena (such as racism) that affect the actions, practices, beliefs, and laws of a large region (such as the Jim Crow laws that that codified racial segregation and discrimination). That has historically been the case in America. But today, structural injustices are usually created on the micro-level and affect a smaller area. Take, for example, the issue of poverty. In 2014, the two factors that are most likely to create structural boundaries that keep a child in poverty are their parents and their local community.

Not sure it's doing anything

Good to know it is a natural product, however I don't recognize the powerful effects that some rave about.
Not as effective as i thought
Posted by 4748136241622875611 on Sep 08, 2014
I used Planetary Herbals before this and it was far better. I decided to take these because of the quantity and the Sensoril extract, which is supposed to be the key in Ashwaghandha effect. I suffer from anxiety and insomnia, i take one per day, almost every day for the last 3 months. I feel even more anxious, though it's GABA mimetic and it supposed to have a calmimg effect. I felt much better with Planetary Herbals. I am a fan of Jarrow but this one just doesn't work for me.
I think it upsets me colon

Cuomo Needs To Rework Gun Bill
What a mess.
The NY SAFE Act, passed in January in response to the Newtown, Conn., school shooting and the shooting of two volunteer firefighters in Webster, N.Y., was supposed to place New York at the forefront of states protecting their citizens from gun violence. Gov. Andrew Cuomo surely thought it would help him nationally as the Democratic Party looks for presidential candidates to run in 2016. Passing a gay marriage bill, increasing the minimum wage and then having get-tough-on-guns legislation looks great on a progressive candidate's resume.
As we noted in January, the SAFE Act moved far too quickly. Cuomo and legislative leaders waited the customary three-day waiting period, public input and any floor debate over fears a discussion about gun control would either result in a watered down bill or no bill at all.
It resulted in something worse – massive public outcry and a law seen with no legitimacy by millions of state residents who feel they had no voice in the process.
Their voices are being heard now.
Cuomo's approval ratings dropped 15 points, and that was before newspaper opinion pages statewide were filled with letters decrying the legislation, before rallies started springing up around the state like spring flowers and before counties began passing resolutions signaling opposition to the gun law. Two legal actions have begun challenging the law on constitutional grounds.
And, because of errors in the original legislation, if no changes are made, police officers' guns could be illegal. Written permission would be necessary for police to go on school grounds with a loaded weapon. And, the law could stop the production of violent television shows and movies from being made in New York. Cuomo has said he will consider technical amendments to make sure these types of issues are avoided.
He must go further than that.
Revisiting the seven-round limit in an ammunition magazine is a good place to start. Finding a way to write the law so that it doesn't penalize legal gun owners is also worth discussing. He may even have to budge on the law's registration provisions, which many gun owners say is the first step down a slippery slope that ends with government eventually taking people's guns.
It's the price the governor must pay for short-circuiting the democratic process in January. The longer he holds out, the more he'll have to pay.

I got some Revolution DragonEye Oolong from a Teachat friend in a bulk swap we did... and I totally love it. The description says it is flavored with peach, apricot, and safflower... it is totally light and smooth, and doesn't have that artificial taste at all... very light flavor, not overpowering, just lovely.
I'm wondering if anyone else has tried it... because I'm wondering how it compares to the Adagio Peach Oolong. Revolution's comes only in infuser bags, and not loose. I'd really prefer a loose selection so I can control how much leaf I brew at one time. The Adagio Peach Oolong gets nice reviews, so I'm sure I will order some and try it... but I'd love to hear from anyone who has tried both and can offer any comparison.... or can suggest a comparable product from another vendor.

Best Time To Buy? December...BEFORE Boat Shows
December 13, 2012
We all know that the Winter Boat Show season is a great time to get a deal on a new boat, right? But it might surprise you to know that December might actually be the best time of the entire year to make a deal. Think about it...when are dealers receiving truckloads of inventory? Right before boat shows! High inventory levels, winter moving in fast, AND the holidays around the corner...that's a win-win. Just check out these boats leaving the factory and heading to a dealer near you. Thinking about a new boat? Think December!

Amy Scott AKA "Criminally Insane" with Tulsa Derby League is the January USARS Roller Derby Spotlight Athlete. After not having skates on for 15 years she decided to give roller derby a whirl and started skating with the Tulsa Derby League. Going on her fifth year of playing roller derby she has become one of the fiercest jammers out in Oklahoma. You can actually consider her a double threat because she has become an immaculate blocker throughout this past season as well.

This past 2012 season Criminally Insane led the Tulsa Derby League All Stars to the inaugural USARS National Championships. Insane improves with each and every practice and bout, she takes what she learns from the coaches and soaks it in and continues to perfect things she feels she needs to work on. Never giving up or backing down in practice or bouts, she is truly an inspiration to many on our team and league. This past 2012 season her league gave her the honor of Jammer of the year, and she gets honored with MVP at almost every roller derby bout she plays in locally. Her junior derby team the Tulsa Derby Brats, look up to her as a coach and a mentor.

Suggestions for optimal use of the Text to speech engine
Captivate 4 introduced text to speech (TTS) technology in Rapid eLearning authoring. Given the adoption and feedback, in Captivate 5 we've introduced more voices. Tweaking these voices seem to be one of the most discussed topics on our forums. There were a couple of blog posts last year on tweaking the Captivate 4 voices (VTML tags, User dictionary). These continue to be applicable in Captivate 5 for the NeoSpeech voices. Our other partner, Loquendo, also offers the ability to insert commands in the input text to modify the way words are pronounced. In the next week, we will have a few posts detailing this. But prior to that, here are some best practices to follow when using text-to-speech:
The TTS process exploits only a subset of the complex knowledge base on which a human reader implicitly relies. While it can access grammatical and phonetic knowledge, the artificial system does not come to a true comprehension of the text, lacking the necessary semantic and pragmatic skills. This is why the system cannot deal with ambiguous or misspelled text, nor give different emotional colors to its voices according to text semantics. The system tries to pronounce exactly what is written, applying the standard orthographic conventions for interpreting characters, symbols, numbers, word sentence delimiters and punctuation. The cues to a proper intonation are mainly punctuation marks and syntactic relationships between words.
This means that the best synthesis results will be obtained with well-formed sentences, correct and standard orthography, unambiguous contexts and rich and appropriate punctuation. If you are able to prepare or select in advance the texts that will be fed into the TTS system, then the main rule to follow is: "Write texts according to the standard orthographic and grammatical rules of the language"
Loquendo suggests that you keep to the following simple guidelines:
- Spell words carefully (using the correct character set for the language)
- Use capital letters when grammatically appropriate and apply standard conventions for representing numbers and abbreviations
- Separate words according to the standard orthographic conventions (insert blanks between words and after punctuation marks, when appropriate)
- Avoid ambiguities
- Write short sentences with correct syntactic structure
- Insert punctuation marks frequently and carefully

MAC Pro Haul
So I was finally able to head down to the MAC Pro Store in Orlando over 4th of July Weekend. You all know I've been preparing for this trip, making lists for weeks! I prefer buying things in person over online so I can swatch and ask the MUA questions. Let's say I definitely stocked up, lol. I spent more than I wanted to...but that's not something I haven't said before when it comes to MAC, lol.
I tried to get only Pro items since I have a freestanding store that is two minutes away from me and the closest Pro store in 7 hours away. I had to film the video twice so I could try to get it in the time limit!
I've only posted swatches on my blog, not the video, so my blogging beauties get a little something extra!
While I was at the store, I was helped by a really great MA named Fawn. She was really knowledgeable and you know she was Asian too ;) She answered my gazillion questions and I learned a lot of new things from her.
My new brushes! The 174 pro brush and the brush that's about to be discontinued...sorry I can't remember the number and I'm writing this at work, lol.
My new 15 pan eyeshadow palette. From left to right, the pro eyeshadows: deep damson, cobalt, soot, rose, ground brown, lime.
Swatches of the eyeshadow. Swatched dry with no base. One swipe of the finger. These are the softest eyeshadows ever. I understand why they're pro eyeshadows because they're easier to blend than some of the other finishes. Left to right: deep damson, cobalt, soot, rose, ground brown, lime
Swatches of new pro blushes and sculpting powders. First three are blushes: housewine, burnt pepper, azalea. Last three are the sculpting powders: Sculpt, Shadester, and Definitive. I tried to get a range of sculpting powders to suit a variety of my clients. I use these all the time now! Definitive is an awesome color for darker skin tones. Sorry but I accidentally deleted the picture of the blush palette with everything in it, he he.
MAC pro lashes in #12, #8, #10. I got two of each since they don't sell these in the normal stores.
MAC Pro lipsticks: violetta, sin, lady danger. Behind them, you'll see the cream colour bases in black and white.
EZR eye zone remoisturizer (great as an eye cream as well as a glitter adhesive), Face and Body Mixing Medium (I use these to mix my foundations and make them budge proof...you can also use them with pigments for body painting), Water Based Mixing Medium (for foiling my pigments and eyeshadows), Multi-Purpose clear gloss
White gold pigment (great for highlighting right underneath your eyebrow arch). Reflects pearl glitter-the best multipurpose glitter, and invisible pro set powder. This is the only translucent powder that I've tried that doesn't give an ashy finish to some darker skin tones.
MAC cleansing tips--good for quick clean ups. Just take off the packaging and you have a pre-moistened makeup remover q-tip.
So check out my vid on all the goodies I got!

Hey Ren Ren.. U live all the way up there by the PRO store in Georgia.. Girl that is a trek to downtown ATL. Can u be so kind and swatch sin and lady danger? I am thinking about buying those.I have and love all those eyeshadows, there is something about pro shadows.
I love Violetta. What lipliner would u use for Violetta on someone NW50? The only thing with Violetta is I have to do to much like use violet lipmix to sheer it out a bit..
Yes love, White gold is the bomb. Looks good on camera too.. I need to check out EZR. I just started fast response eye cream and I loves it.
I love the Pro set powder and being a dark skin black woman u hit it right on the head no ash.. It reminds me of makeup forever HD powder just not as soft.
Girl we need to chat.. I am trying to decide which state I want to move to between GA and FL. FL has the advantage of the PRO store and beaches but I consider GA to be my home. Damn girl I done wrote a story.. Later nice haul..

Nice Haul
I looove lady danger is so amazing one of my favorite i use it a lot

rmcandlelight: thanks!
seymone: hey hon...i dont think there's a pro store in georgia...but i love close to the freestanding store by perimeter mall...i'll definitely swatch sin and lady danger...i like plum lipliner with violetta...i think it blends in perfectly.
i actually like fast response better than EZR cuz EZR is a lil sticky but it's good for holding glitter, which I like...even though i haven't tried it yet, lol.
i'm a florida girl too you know...i love both! i think atlanta has a lot of exciting opportunities though that i couldnt find in florida...but if you're in miami that's also a hot spot...decisions decisions!
beautyaddict: yup violetta is definitely good for the fall...i'm still going to rock it tomorrow though, lol

- July 30, 2008 at 7:11 PM
- Seymone said...
Sorry meant to say freestanding store. I went to Phipps Plaza because I thought they had tHE freestanding MAC only to find out I had to drive to Perimeter Mall.
The upside to GA is that I still have some contacts when it comes to makeup.. Going to Fl is like starting from scratch.. I dont know.
It all depends on the law school that going to give me the most financial aid.

Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.

Dr. Rick

It sounds like you have a couple of issues going on. The floaters are from something called a posterior
detachment (PVD).
You have a thick gel material in the middle of your eyes called the vitreous. Over time as it liquefies, this gel material collapses on itself, forms little clumps that you can see as dots, lines or bugs. As these clumps form the vitreous pulls away from the wall of the eye. In the process it can stimulate the retina -- causing the flashes that you may see.
It is recommended that you see your
to look at the retina to make sure there are no problems such as a retinal hole or tear. In most cases, there are no problems, but this exam is precautionary and allows for preventative treatment of any lesions that are found.
If you notice a sudden increase in floaters,
flashes of light
(like a lightning storm), or a shadow/veil in the periphery of your vision, this can be worrisome for a
retinal detachment
. You would need to contact your ophthalmologist promptly in that case.
What can you do about the floaters? Well, floaters don't go away, and they don't really get worse. Over time they tend to "sink" out of your central vision and you brain "filters" them out so you don't notice them so much anymore. They almost never cause significant visual problems except, of course, if they cause a secondary retinal detachment as discussed above. The only way to decrease or remove the floaters is with a major surgery called a
. As a retinal specialist for almost 2 decades I've only done this procedure to remove floaters in a handful of cases.

replied 5 years ago.
The other issue, which is separate from the PVD issue, that it seems you have is a problem with your anterior segment/
tear film
. This can, as you have already noted yourself, be caused by a number of things however the most common causes are
dry eyes
, allergies and
When it comes to allergies it is almost impossible to pin down the offending agent(s) and, therefore, treatment needs to focus on controlling the symptoms. Dry eyes are very common and can be improved by a stepwise series of therapies. First, the use of natural tears 4-6+ times/day to augment your natural tear production, if this doesn't work then you can try temporary punctal occlusion of the lower puncta, then, if needed, temporary occlusion of all 4 puncta then, if indicated, surgical ( non-reversible) closure of the puncta. The openings to your tear drainage system are called puncta and you have one opening on each lid, near your nose.
Blepharitis is a condition where glands in the eyelids are not functioning normally. They become plugged and instead of putting out their normal clear, oily secretions, they put out thick, toothpaste like gunk. You may not be able to see this "gunk" yourself, unless it is really bad, but it shows up clearly on slit lamp examination.
The best treatment for this condition daily lid scrubs combined with warm compresses. I like to use baby shampoo for lid scrubs. In the shower, place the shampoo on your index fingers, close your eyes, raise your eyebrows (to stretch the skin on your eyelids) and scrub back and forth along your eyelashes for 3 to 5 minutes. The hot water in the shower helps to soften the plugged oils in the glands while the mechanical scrubbing with your soapy fingers removes the oils.
Baby shampoo lid scrubs will also help to wash away allergens and stimulate tear production, thereby addressing all three of your issues. Remember, this is not an instant fix. While you are waiting for the lid scrubs to have affect you can use over the counter allergy pills such as Travist, dimetapp or Zyrtec.
Should your symptoms get worse, your vision become significantly affected or things just not get better in 3 weeks or so you should have a complete eye examination by your local ophthalmologist to look for other, less common, causes of your symptoms.
Does this make sense to you?

Mission Statement
The purpose of the Health and Wellness minor is to provide students with a comprehensive approach to and understanding of health promotion and disease prevention, and to allow them to acquire the knowledge necessary for achieving optimal well-being.

Sweeney leaves junior ranks wearing gold
PARK CITY, Utah – On a clear, cold day in the Wasatch Mountains, the Sweeney Smile warmed the Utah Olympic Park and every American in the venue as the Suffield, Conn. luger, in her final race as a junior, won the women's singles gold medal Tuesday at the 2013 Junior Luge World Championships in Park City.
The event is for juniors up to the age of 20. A total of 14 nations were entered in the event that concluded Wednesday.
Sweeney, who has raced in the World Cup the entire season, relegated Germany to second, third and fourth places. She had a pair of runs down the 2002 Olympic track that totaled 1 minute, 28.121 seconds. Her teammate, Summer Britcher, of Glen Rock, Pa., a member of the United States gold medal performance in the 2012 Youth Olympic Games (YOG), blistered the second heat with the fastest run and improved from ninth to sixth place in 1:28.368.
"I had pretty rough training this week. It was inconsistent," said Sweeney, the U.S. singles gold medalist who secured the team's 21st World/Junior World Championship gold medal in its history. "I'd thrown down some good runs but I had a lot of issues, too. I had that feeling I was going to pull it together for race day. I've never had that feeling before and it happened."
Sweeney, a new member of the Army National Guard who spent last off season fulfilling her military commitment, has battled injury since a training camp in Sochi, Russia in early November. She has overcome ankle, knee and calf problems. The gold medal winner captured two Junior World Cups on the 2002 Olympic track 13 months ago.
The U.S. men were led by Tucker West, of Ridgefield, Conn., another member of the 2012 YOG gold medal effort. He was 10th. The youngest USA Luge Indoor Start Champion in team history, the 17 year old West has been racing up in class among the older juniors the entire season.
Sweeney grabbed a slim 0.01 of a second lead in the opening heat, and propelled by two fast starts, extended that in the final run. Caroline von Schleinitz took silver in 1:28.182, with Natalie Burkhardt recording the bronze medal time of 1:28.215.
"This race has definitely been in the back of my mind," continued Sweeney, whose family roots trace back to Saranac Lake. "I've been looking forward to this for a while. It's not often we have a junior worlds on American soil. It takes the advantage away from the European nations. I was really excited we got to host them."
Britcher recorded the fastest second heat in the field, and improved from ninth to sixth place in her second junior world championship event.
"Overall the second run was better. It was pretty decent up top but I had problems in (curves) 13-14," said Britcher. "I skidded at the start of the first run and went to the left. And had a pretty big skid in 10-11 and almost hit the right wall. It was messy disappointing."
Similar to Britcher, Theresa Buckley finished with a much improved second leg and totaled 1:28.829, which was good enough for 11th place.
Raychel Germaine, who raced in the YOG singles a year ago, had a combined 1:29.939 and wound up 23rd. Buckley and Germaine, in their second season of international competition, raced in their first junior worlds.
Dominik Fischnaller, of Germany, fresh from his first World Cup medal two weeks ago in Koenigssee, Germany, won the men's gold medal, totaling 1:27.263 for the two legs. He made the race strictly an event for the silver medal. Teammate Emanuel Rieder was a distant second in 1:27.511, with Austrian David Gleirscher taking bronze in 1:27.525.
West's two-heat time of 1:27.882 put him 0.6 of a second behind Fischnaller. The 19 year old Italian is considered the successor to Armin Zoeggeler, the 39 year old two-time Olympic champion. Kevin Fischnaller, also of Italy, placed fourth and missed a medal by only 0.01.
Dominik Fischnaller was never threatened, easily recording the fastest individual heat times of both legs.
Aidan Kelly, of West Islip, N.Y., the highest ranked American in the Junior World Cup with an eighth place standing, finished 16th in 1:28.091. Riley Stohr, of Whitehall, Mich. was 18th in 1:28.185. Ty Andersen, of Alpine, Utah, another gold medalist in the YOG, was 20th in 1:28.283.
Andersen will compete Wednesday in the doubles contest, with sled mate Anthony Espinoza, of Park City. The race begins at 10 AM Mountain Time, followed by the Team Relay which concludes the 2013 Junior World Championships.
In the finale, the U.S. will enter Sweeney, West, Andersen and Espinoza in the relay.

A hinge that is at least partly visible from the outside of the cabinet when the door is closed.Shop All

Whether you're looking for a replacement, an upgrade or a solution for a special application, Rockler has the right hinge for your project. Our extensive selection ranges from piano and lid-stay hinges for use with large panels to small-box hinges for jewelry and music boxes. And we offer a variety of finishes to complement any material.
Of course, you'll also find scores of options for outfitting or renovating kitchen or bathroom cabinets. If you're choosing hinges for such a project, it's important to nail down a few details to guide your selection process:
Face frame or frameless: Do your cabinets have a wider frame that attaches to and overlaps the front edges of the cabinet case? Or are the case's front edges covered with edge-banding trimmed flush to the sides?
Overlay or inset: When the doors are closed, do they cover the opening completely by overlapping it (overlay), or do they fit just inside the opening, flush with the face frame or the case sides (inset)? If they overlay the opening, do they have a channel cut along the back side that fits neatly in the opening? (This is called a partial overlay and requires its own kind of hinge.)
Visible or concealed: Do you want to see part of the hinge when the door is closed, as with decorative or butt hinges with ball or urn tips, or do you want the hinge to be completely hidden from view, as with European-style hinges? How important is easy adjustability? (European-style hinges allow for more adjustment.)
Mortise or no-mortise: Are you able to cut the precise, shallow recesses required for some hinges, or would a no-mortise option better fit your application?
Simple functionality or special features: Are you looking for hinges that simply open and close, or do you want extra features such as snap-close or soft-close functionality?
If you're still not sure what kind of hinge you need, snap a digital picture of the problem and e-mail it to email@example.com for some expert advice from our Tech Services Department. And remember that when you buy from Rockler, hinges come complete with mounting screws and step-by-step instructions.

Doug Winter: The 1895-O is similar in overall and high grade rarity to the 1892-O and the 1893-O eagles. It is another issue that has become far more available in the past decade due to the discovery of a group of hoards.
The 1895-O is almost never seen below AU55 and most of the surviving examples grade AU58 to MS61. It is scarce in properly graded MS62 and rare in MS63. I have never seen or heard of a piece that graded higher than MS63.
STRIKE: This issue is among the better struck New Orleans eagles from the 1890's. It is generally seen with crisp details at the centers. The first few stars at the left are sometimes weak at the centers and the 89 in the date is sometimes a bit faint as well.
SURFACES: The surfaces are almost always found with a liberal amount of abrasions. They are not as heavily abraded as the 1892-O or the 1893-O but it is almost impossible to locate a piece that does not have a "choppy" appearance.
LUSTER: The 1895-O eagle has above-average luster. It is very frosty with far more "life" than most of the other With Motto dates from this mint. It is sometimes seen with semi-prooflike fields and a few fully prooflike pieces are known.
COLORATION: The natural coloration ranges from orange-gold to green-gold with most coins showing the latter. Some have an "inner ring" of color at the borders which give the surfaces a two-tone appearance. There are still a decent number of original coins available although a number have been dipped in recent years.
EYE APPEAL: Many 1895-O eagles have fairly good eye appeal. These coins tend to be lustrous with good detail and decent color but they show numerous bagmarks in the fields which limit the grade.
DIE CHARACTERISTICS: Some pieces show minor machine doubling on the reverse legend. These have been described as "doubled dies" in some catalogs but they are not.
MAJOR VARIETIES: There is a single variety known.
Variety One: The date is heavy and a bit low, with the 1 closer to the denticles than the truncation. The reverse is the same as that seen on the 1894-O eagle.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: WeDate of review: March 25, 2013
In short: Excellent race well run and quicker than you expectIn full: As always everything went well, good organistion, encouraging marshals, interesting course with a range of slightly challenging hills, a very bright t-shirt. The only downside was at the plentyful waterstations the helpers struggled hand out water, they held them too high (shoulder hieght) and too tight so that I only managed to grab 2 out of 4, I was toward the front and running at about 11mph so it's hard to take them cleanly at times. But this is mild gripe on what is a wonderful raceDate of review: March 11, 2013
In short: A Good Pre-London WorkoutIn full: The 20 ticked the all boxes that I was looking for, right time in the training, close to home, OK value, good organisation.On the day I arrived to see a long queue of traffic, but was surprised by the organisation to move it into the car park and take £1 at such speed. The mile to the start worked as a warm-up which had most of the facilities that you need (can any race ever have enough toilets?). The start worked well with the 10 & 20 mixed in. The course itself was well marked including every pot-hole, which after this winter that is a very large number and must of taken a considerable effort. The first lap went by uneventfully and this time I avoided racing those running 10 miles. On the second lap the course became a little lonely and only about half of the marshals were cheering by that point. Then someone sneaked in a few hills that I'm sure weren't there on the first lap. After running 20M at marathon pace (according to my Garmin) it was a bit disheartening to find I still had 0.15M to run meaning I just missed 2hrs. I'm not sure if the course was long or the fact that I took the marshals directions to run on the left or I was weaving about like a drunk at last orders meant I ran too far but it was annoying.The goody bag was way more generous than I expected and the food and drink was well recieved.In short I would run it again in the build-up to a marathonDate of review: February 20, 2013
In short: Fast, well organised half with added cakeIn full: Wonderful as always, exactly as advertised fast, friendly and well organised, the marshalls were even more cheerful this year with the sun out!!!...and the cake was perfectDate of review: November 20, 2012
In short: Hard as the hills it is made from and equally as beautifulIn full: After finishing, I stopped and looked realising I had run those hills, a feeling that will last for a long time.I enjoyed all of this experience, the chill out tent at the start, the mind blowing scenery, the leg blowing climbs, the hair raising decents, the sheer scale of the organisation, to mark 22miles (by my garmin anyway) over this terrain is incredible.£25 is enough for a race but this is the most value from any race, goody bag, red bull, band, the chip timing (although I think this will be an area they seek to improve), hog roast, free bar but most of all the organisationThank you all involvedDate of review: October 8, 2012
In short: Fantastic ChallengeIn full: This really was as much fun as I hoped, everything worked well from the communication before to breakfast the next morning. The course is hard and a true challenge to beat the train with its cheery whistle. The marshals are amazing, I met a couple who came from Leicester to marshal!!! Thank you. The town comes out to support the race and it seems nobody minds the distruption on a Saturday afternoon, which makes the atmosphere infectious. The scenery is wonderful and you come into contact with much of it! The organisation is brilliant and I can't see room for improvement. The goodie bag was amazing, although I would of run just to beat the train. Thank you one and all for such a great time.Date of review: August 20, 2012
In short: A Fabulous Blast through the Twists and Turns of Hungerfords CountrysideIn full: A wonderfully mornings entertainment, the kids loved the childrens race and the medal was nice, they felt like runners. The main race was across varied countryside from quite country roads, common land, footpaths a gallop and wide bridleway, over small but constant undulations. I was a little conserned that you double back on the course and we could of been running into runners coming the other way, but the course had been worked out well and there was only slight overlap. The marshals were plentyful and wonderful. The mug was about the best I've recieved at a race which off-set the sharp intake of breathe of the price. The atmosphere was splendid dispite the intermittent rain. Well done all involvedDate of review: July 2, 2012
In short: Perfect PB PotentialIn full: This race is made for PB's, no stress at the start due to great organisation, wonderfully flat course, encouraging marshals, loads of water, jelly babies on route, band to perk you up, able to see the other runners and shout at friends and a wondeful goodie bag with lovely cake to induce a sprint finish. Thank you Gosport I will be back for my 6th year in 2012Date of review: November 21, 2011
In short: An excellent race especially if you want a PBIn full: Again a well organisied event, but on the 65th anniversary It was always going to be. Shame people were still arriving at 10:50 and expecting that not to cause a problem, but the organisers were kind and delayed the start 15mins, which given it was a pleasant day did cause any great issue with those of us who arrive on time. Then excellent running throughout flat fast course with only a slight breeze this year resulting in the national standard for 5 miles for the first time. What a wonderful momento too.Date of review: September 19, 2011
In short: ExcellentIn full: This has all the elements to make an average race, mid week, 10k, slightly hilly course, around a small town. But the organisation and sense of fun lift it to another level leaving most other races in its wake. Well done everyone involved as it is you who make this race with your commitment, enthusiasm and ability.Date of review: June 2, 2011

Director of Archaeology at Crow Canyon Archaeological Center
What caused the biggest shift in human history: from hunting and gathering to farming? Dig into the ancient past for clues.
Susan Ryan, an Earthwatch archaeologist at Crow Canyon in Colorado, has conducted prehistoric and historic excavations throughout the American Midwest and Southwest.
"I came out to the Southwest when my aunt and uncle relocated from Chicago to Albuquerque when I was a teenager, and was really lucky enough to see living pueblos like Akima and Zuni," Dr. Ryan told Earthwatch. "They took me to archaeological sites, and I really fell in love with the Southwest. I realized that modern pueblo people are still here, and archaeology is incredible, and it's really what I wanted to do. So I relocated to the Southwest in 1998 and have been in the Southwest in different states ever since, working on archaeology projects."
"It's different every single day," she says. "You never know what's going to come up when you're excavating an archaeological site, and for me the thing that keeps me on the edge of my seat each night is wondering what tomorrow is going to bring. So for me it's that perpetual excitement of uncovering the past and getting more and more clues as to what was going on in a particular place at a particular time."
Dr. Susan Ryan uncovers the mysteries of Colorado's ancient Basketmakers.
Analyze artifacts collected from well-dated Basketmaker III period sites.

All day today internet data connection has been up and down. I have a support ticket open with our data provider but they said it's affective whole regions. I have connection now and checked out internettrafficreport.com which is site that reports on internet traffic and packet loss.
Many locations or hubs have 100% packet loss, in other words no access Colorado, Texas, Wisconsin and Virginia. Many of you will be reading this later because now you probably have no connection. This of course has affected MACCA Radio, The Voice of The Beatles streams. It is off line but as of this minute MACCA-Central's website is running fine.
Be patient, could be some outfit accidentally cutting a fibre optic line somewhere or something like that. Internet traffic is being re-routed to attempt to compensate.

The Apostle. Robert Duvall's finest moment IMHO.
Great flick. I put it just below Tender Mercies for my all time Duvall as a lead actor experience. I like Billy Bob's small part in the apostle as well as Duvall's turn in Sling Blade.
I agree - Duvall and BBT work well together. (Even in small roles) I think growing up in a fundamentalist Southern Baptist household made me appreciate The Apostle a whole lot. I saw stuff like that around me. (Not so much in my family, but in my community)
I think Duvall was sincere about faith, etc. He just did a good job showing the struggles people go through.

Now considered one of the world's most comprehensive collections of New Mexican art and furnishings, Casa San Ysidro shows how ordinary people created extraordinary things.
The c. 1875 home, restored and expanded by Dr. Ward Alan and Shirley Minge, combines traditional building techniques and architectural features that evoke New Mexico's Spanish Colonial past. Located in the farming village of Corrales, just north of Albuquerque, the museum is listed on the State Register of Cultural Properties and El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail.
Personalized, guided tours and special programs reveal how family, faith, and farms have endured through the centuries in New Mexico. Throughout the year special programs and event days expand the opportunity for you to take a glimpse at New Mexico's unique heritage in this unequalled southwestern treasure.
Casa San Ysidro Today

Sadly, I do not know the origins of the word "nobble". But I'm sure you have worked out its meaning - "do something nasty to for whatever purpose". It could mean to capture someone/thing, or remove some opposition, maybe poison a person . . . you get the idea. I of course am using it in terms of the kidnapping sense above. It's quite a generalised word, basically, which can have many applications
The difference between genius and insanity is merely the difference between success and failure.
