I was at walmart a few weeks ago and i saw this eyelash curler, i was on the market for a new eyelash curler and this one was super cheap (4$) so i picked it up! To my suprise i actually LOVE it, it is super easy to use and it doesn't pinch my eye whatsoever. Totally recommend!

This is the worst curler ever! I'm experienced with eyelash curlers so I know what I'm doing and how they work, but this eyelash curler makes my eyelashes look horrible! Before I curl my lashes I always comb my eyelashes out with an an eyelash comb, so their nice and separated. Then I curl, and after I curl with this eyelash curler my eyelashes come out stuck together and L shaped. I don't wear mascara when I curl them, so I don't know why the curler makes them stick together but let me tell you this, my old plastic eyelash curler performs way better then this mettle one!

I don't wear makeup all that often, but I curl my lashes almost everyday. Since I do that so frequently, I could invest in a high end lash curler, but I can't suck it up and spend the money on one. I've used this basic Trim eyelash curler before but didn't think I really depended on it...when the pad eventually wore out and my lashes would get stuck in the pad, I decided to try some other cheapie eyelash curlers. While I tried and liked the most basic Revlon curler before, I hate the new version of it. It didn't even curl my lashes, and they just stuck out straight---which they are pretty flexible and can hold a curl for a decent amount of time. The Revlon curler also didn't fit my eye shape that well either. Then I tried the Elf one, which I also tried the $1 one before. But they changed the style, and it somehow did nothing for my lashes either! I also tested out the $3 Elf mini eyelash curler for fun--that is straight junk.
So over the course of a month, I tried all the cheap brands, and I stand corrected in thinking all cheap eyelash curlers were made equal. I eventually made my way back to Trim, which I should've gone with since it was my most recent eyelash curler anyway. This one creates a curl that lasts and opens up my eyes. It fits my eye shape and doesn't pinch. It was less than $2.50 at Target.

I love this curler! I had my first eyelash curler about 2 years ago and it stopped curling. I wanted to go out and buy a new one but it didn't have the brand name on the curler itself so I couldn't get a replacement. I bought the elf curler, which is garbage, and I tried my mom's Revlon curler. That didn't work for me either and it just pinched my eyes.
I came across this one at Target and decided to give it a try. It's so inexpensive and works perfectly for me! I have a cross between Asian and almond shaped eyes so it's really hard to find an eyelash curler that can fit along my lash line. The Trim curler curls my eyelashes fast and keeps the curl all day. Never do I have to fix it, unless I'm sweating/working out and it starts wearing off. The pad shape doesn't pinch my eyelashes either. It's in the middle of a rounded pad and a completely flat one. Just right.
The only caveat is that I wish the curling pad lasted longer. After about 3 weeks, the imprint from the top part of the curler starts showing and can pull out my eyelashes. The product comes with one extra pad but it'd be better if the pad just lasted longer or was better quality.

I bought the black one , which is slightly different than the photo. I love this curler! I've tried the Revlon one and that one pinched my eyelids and the ELF one is absolute garbage. This one is perfect. Very affordable, came with 4 or 5 refill pads, wide enough to curl all my lashes. Love it , no complaints!

I love this eyelash curler. I've tried so many different eyelash curlers and i keep coming back to this one. I have used it for many, many years now always repurchasing when i've lost it. The shape of this one i really prefer over others because the curl it gives me is very precise. It gets all my lashes and curls them equally. Other curlers don't give me the same effect. Plus this one is so inexpensive. Like another reviewer said the only thing i wish they could change is the packaging. Maybe a different color than silver? Regardless i love this curler.

This eyelash curler works wonderfully. I always used my moms Revlon eyelash curler, which, to be honest, didn't work that great, so I decided to buy my own. This curler grabs all my lashes unlike other curlers and does a great job at curling them! And the price is crazy good. Only complaint is maybe make the packaging "cuter" as well as the curler(:

I've tried the black revlon curler and the sally hansen professional curler and this one was the only one that grabbed all of my short lashes. It curls them nicely

**The lash curler I bought is slightly different than the one pictured here. Mine is painted black**
I love this eyelash curler. It makes my lashes look amazing and perfectly curled. The frame isn't too rounded, so it's easy to get all of your lashes at once. It's dirt cheap, too. (I got it at walmart here in Canada for less than $4). I bought a more expensive eyelash curler that did nothing but fold my lashes in half. This curler has rounded pads, which make a world of difference in the way your lashes look. It also came with 6 extra pads, so I won't have to look for another lash curler for a LONG time.

Very Awesome! Super clean. You can size one up from my helmet any day!
Very Awesome! Super clean. You can size one up from my helmet any day!
Man, these are looking amazing!
Tim, my great respect, you´re the man !
When are the TDH´s able to order from you ?
Any idea about the costs ?
Will it fit a Sgt. Fang bucket ?
Thanks, great job !
Ok, final pics.......done.
You can't feel them, but, I like the look of the mill marks. 8)
You guys still likey ?
I like 'em so much I'm goin' crazy.
Wow..I'm speechless
You have out done your self! *Cheers*
I think GBH said it all man. They look great. Now.... get it on that helmet!!!
has anyone contacted sgt fang or marrow sun about getting the OK to do ears for their buckets?
i'm assuming that they are close enough in size that what works on one would work on the other as well.
I PM'd and emailed Sarge. Here is the body of it for those interested....
I don't know if you've seen them or not, but psberetta on TDH has made some incredible aluminum ears for his DP Fett helmet. He has offered to make them available in different sizes, but not without the express OK from the various helmet makers.
I was wanting to PM you and see if it would be okay with you if he made ears using the necessary sizes for your mystery helmet. I've heard that he has gotten some PMs from other people that have been less than "complimentary" about the thought of making ear pieces sized for their helmets.
I think that these are awesome looking and am sure that they would be a perfect compliment to your now legendary helmet.
These are not going to be cast in any way. They are 100% machined pieces. So the recasting issue should not be an "issue" at all really. The only thing that might be an issue is that he will need to use measurements to make them so that they will fit the MH.
I know, just from his showoff thread about them, that several people would really look forward to getting ones sized for your bucket. Please PM me and I will be more than happy to forward your response to PSB and let him know your feelings on this. He has requested that if we want a certain helmet makers "go ahead" that we contact them ourselves as he has said that he will not solicit the helmet makers approval. This first set is one that he has made for himself, but he has very graciously offered to make more in various sizes, but only with approval from the helmet producers.
Thanks in advance for your answer!
here's hoping he is cool with it!
Very well put Drokkul!!! Yup, fingers crossed!!!
Absolutely, positively, YES!!! By all means, go for it! These new ears look like they came out of God's Own Prop Shop, and will make an already good helmet even better!
Drokkul, thanks for the heads up!
I think everything you do is like Gold Bro...:thumbup:thumbup..OUTSTANDING!!
Someone pass me a napkin! I'm drooling all over my keyboard!!!
I have just this to say to you...:thumbup WE ARE NOT WORTHY! :thumbup
Damm bro! When did the UFO returned you to earth?
Seriously though, awesome work!
Ok guys, the verdict is in....
The first thing I need to get out there is the fact that these are a pain .
There will be five parts included if these things are indeed an interest to you peeps. Left ear, lower right ear, the two upper right pices and the RF stalk, all machined aluminum.
The problem is the time it takes the set-up and run them. There are thirteen different flips and flops so to speak in making a set of all five parts. That equals out to be (with run time included) 2 hours and 45 mins. a set .
You don't just load a chunk of aluminum in an machine and press a button like a monkey and walk away on these bad boys......
It does not matter what hemet these are made for. The best price I can do on a set is $250.00 shipped. That is me breaking even after shipping. The cool part about it is I will get to work on them on the clock.
Anyway, that being said, these can and if enough people are still wanting a set, will be offered. I NEED at least TEN people to commit and I do mean COMMIT....other wise this will come out of my pocket.
Its alot of cash to plop down on a set of "ears" for a helmet, but I can tell you this, they will be the last set you will need.
Need feed back.....
Hey Tim,
Well, I've got every other machined aluminum piece you've done for my ESB, so count me interested!!! I just wouldn't feel right if I didn't have these too!
My two cents of input would be to add counter sunk thread attachments for mounting the ears, who knows, you might even be thinking that already! Also, very cool, that your adding the aluminum stalk as part of the package, no worries over fit-ment, but could the stalk or will the stalk be hollow in order to run wires down from the range finder?

Skip Bins are normally big, commercial sized bins that you will frequently discover on renovation sites and waste removal trucks. Yet, there are likewise skip bin available for business as well as residential use.

Whether you need the skip bin during restorations at your house, or need it over a prolonged time period at your business, there are several uses for bins and also the kind you pick will certainly likewise be dependent on what waste will be put in there.
Here are some skip bins for completely dry and solid waste:.

You could not place any type of harmful, toxic or combustible product in your skip bin without clearing it with the company you are working with from initially. If you have actually picked a premium business to hire from, they might be able to help you in disposing of dangerous products. However note that there could be an additional price included.
Once you recognize what kinds of products you will certainly intend to dispose of, selecting the dimension of the skip bin is less complicated.

If you plan on leasing for an extensive period of time, it is feasible to haggle for a discount rate.

Trip Start Mar 03, 2005
80Trip End Apr 08, 2006
The morning I left Kalaw was very cool and as I bade farewell to my extremely wonderful and friendly Nepali hosts at the Golden Lily guesthouse I looked on dishearteningly as a big package tour began their days hike. "Nearly every dollar they spend goes to the government" my host told me. I could see these people clearly annoyed her, but whilst I felt the same way I couldn't possibly understand the ramifications for her. From my perspective, what annoyed me most about the package tourists (and all of those in Burma for that matter) was that these people seemed quiet content to basically hand their money over to the government. Myself and other independent travellers were going out of our way to make sure almost none of our money went into the junta's pocket, but seeing this large group made me wonder if the effort I was putting in was even worth it. The number of responsible tourists seemed to be far outnumbered by these package tourists surprisingly.
We arrived in Nyaungshwe around lunch time and spent most of the day relaxing on the hotel terrace and walking around the small town. It had a very nice, quiet feel to it and the river and numerous pagodas made it more interesting than the town of Kalaw. At 900m above sea level the weather was also quite a lot warmer as well. As expected, there were more facilities for tourists, but this didn't seem to distract from the atmosphere.
Initially my expectations of Inle Lake were quite low, as they tend to be when everyone talks up a place, but once we hit the serene, placid waters of Inle Lake on our small wooden boat at around 7:30am the following morning my spirits rose! After drifting through a now very untradional floating market with hundreds of souvenir hawkers we stopped at a silk weaving factory to see the famous long necked women. These woman wear rings around their necks from a very young age, and they lengthen the neck substantially. Although the tribesmen believe this makes the women more attractive, I found them grotesque! It just seemed too abnormal, and what was worse was the fact that they were basically in a zoo at the silk factory, purely on show for the tourists to take their photos. I couldn't resist however, as it really was a strange sight, but as we continued on I can't say I felt all that good!
Our next stop was at the ruins of Indein to see hundreds of ancient stupas in a field. The long covered walkway leading to the ruins would have been very atmospheric and Indiana Jones like had it not been for the literally hundreds of souvenir stalls lining both sides. This place was worse than Siem Reap! And I couldn't quite figure out why, because surely here supply far exceeded demand.
The rest of the day was spent visiting a few pagodas, including the famous 'jumping cat monastery' where some obviously bored monks had taught the resident felines to leap through a hoop about 30cm from the groud. The trip on the lake was probably my highlight though, as the scenery was really beautiful.
The following day I bade farewell to my German friends and joined my guide from the boat trip for a short half day hike in the mountains around Inle Lake. The overnight bus to Mandalay wasn't until 7pm so I had plenty of time to do a little more siteseeing and mentally prepare myself for another uncomfortable night! We hiked for around an hour up a gentle slope before we reached our first stop at two meditation caves. One contained a hermits hut made of clay bricks which I found quite interesting. We then passed on through three villages which were very different from those I saw in Kalaw as none of the children hassled me at all for gifts or money. They just went about their daily activities as if I wasn't there! Their faces did light up when they saw my camera though, and they all rushed over to see the photos I'd taken. Our last stop before heading back to Nyaungshwe was at a beautiful teak monastery where some kind monks offered us quite a large morning tea!
I enjoyed my two days at Inle lake. The lake was really stunning and the surrounding hillsides and villages really beautiful in a subtle way, but the place certainly wasn't spectacular. However it was definitely worth taking three days out of my itinerary to visit the place. In fact, Nyaungshwe was such a nice, quiet little town that I could have easily spent another few days relaxing and possibly cycling around the countryside!

"The No. 1 thing you have to be able to do as a recruiter is you have to be able to evaluate talent," said LSU wide receivers coach D.J. McCarthy. "It's not what the recruiting services say. They're great resources, but it's our job as a coach to evaluate that talent based on what we need here at LSU."
Fans may get caught up in the number of stars that a prospect has been awarded or where he ranks at his position compared to others from around the country. However, coaches aren't nearly as captivated by the stars as they are with their own evaluations.
Assistant coaches put in countless hours throughout the year and while their actual season may come to an end in December or January, the recruiting process never shuts down.
From August until the bowl game is wrapped up, it's common for the LSU staff to go seven days a week and put in 120 hours or more. When the season wraps up, the hours don't end there as the coaches are on the road making in-home visits, hosting official visits and spending many late nights on the phone. The seven-day workweeks continue and the hours continue to average triple digits without much time to spend with their loved ones.
While August signifies the start of a new year for the LSU football team, the recruiting cycle is never ending with no start or end date in sight.
If one was looking for a starting point, though, they could turn to where it all begins – the evaluation process.
One of the most critical components to the evaluation process is getting a highlight tape to a coach, and the sooner the better. Due to the many tasks that college coaches have on their plate along with time constraints with practice schedule and game preparations, a coach will often get a highlight tape and then go from there.
"If it's a receiver then I need the highlight tape first to look at and get it going," McCarthy said. "If I see this guy is good enough then I want to look at game tape to see how he is when he's not getting the ball or what he's doing on a run block. When I see what he can and can't do then I ask myself if I think the kid can be coached to do what he needs to do."
Prior to arriving at LSU in the spring of 2007, McCarthy spent four years coaching receivers at Nevada from 2000 to 2003. In 2004, he moved on to Central Florida for two years and then spent a year coaching the receivers at UCLA.
He has that West Coast label after spending so much time on that side of the country which includes the three years McCarthy played receiver for the Washington Huskies.
McCarthy said he has learned a lot along the way during his career as a collegiate coach and player which have helped him immensely in judging talent. He also spent three years working with Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders in the National Football League as a defensive assistant and player developer where he picked up some good pointers that has aided him in evaluating players regardless of the level they play at.
"What Al used to say is we have all of these Hall of Fame guys so who does he remind you of," explained McCarthy. "If he's a wide receiver, which receiver does he remind you of. Is he a Tim Brown type or a James Jett type? That's how I kind of break it down when I look at guys compared to who we have now here at LSU.
"The other thing I try to find out is what can the kid do? Once I figure that out then I say the kid can do this, but what do we need to coach him to do? If he can't do something can we coach him to do that?"
Finding out if a kid is coachable often starts by talking to his coaches and others who are in contact with him. Perhaps the best way to tell, though, is by getting the player to a summer camp and working with him one-on-one.
"I think camps are the No. 1 tool next to watching tape," McCarthy said. "What better opportunity can you get than to work with a kid to see his attitude and see how he learns? You see what his attitude is like and see how quick he picks things up and uses it. You see if he is a prima donna type and see how he responds to you as a coach."
Working with wide receivers at camp gives McCarthy a first-hand account of what a kid can and cannot do, but as a college assistant on the recruiting trail he must have a keen eye for talent at other positions as well.
The chain of command for recruiting begins with the area recruiter and then it goes to the position coach. After that, the offensive or defensive coordinator takes a look at the prospect and then if everyone agrees that the prospect is someone that meets LSU's criteria it goes to the headman himself, Les Miles.
Since coaches must be able to evaluate other positions that they may not specialize in they must know what each position coach is looking for in a particular player.
"We try to evaluate what coaches are looking for," McCarthy said. "If it's a running back then I ask Larry (Porter) what he's looking for and what are the qualities that he likes. When I see those in a player then I can let him take a look. I may see some stuff that I like but I'm not the one making the final decision."
Just like recruiting is an inexact science and there are players that end up being better than a recruiting service predicted, coaches will sometimes stray away from those ideal measurements or traits because there are always exceptions to the rule.
"Now, if there is an outstanding guy that may not have those qualities that he is looking for but he's a great player then I'll say you need to check this guy out," said McCarthy. "He may not be as big as they're looking for or he's not this, but I'll pass him on anyway and let them make the call."
The cohesion that a staff must have if it is going to be successful on the field is just as important when the coaches are out on the trail and in the meeting rooms breaking down film.
"I think it's important that everyone is on the same page so when you get your top five or top ten list of position guys you know who to go after," said McCarthy. "I may fall in love with a kid that is a tight end and I'm out there busting my butt recruiting him, but he's sixth or seventh on the position coach's list. If he's sixth or seventh on the position coach's list and we have a great chance to get the top two guys then I may be wasting my time. So, we all have to be on the same page so we work effectively."
Working effectively is the key in any profession where one must depend on his co-workers and it stands true in this profession as well.
After finishing No. 3 in the country in Scout.com's recruiting rankings, one could conclude that this staff worked effectively for the 2009 class.
LSU fans may still be looking at 2009, but McCarthy and the other assistants are focused on the future.
"We're working on 2010 now," he said. "We've been working on that for a while now."
With no beginning or ending to the recruiting process, "a while now" is about as accurate of a date as anyone could expect.

What a travesty! One, ONE indictment. Can anyone believe that only one man did this! This was done by the cabal! I had hoped America could be saved today but Fitzgerald is playing games, wanting more time (to keep the tab going) when after 2 years he had enough time to investigate the entire Wash DC population. I wonder how Libby feels being the fall-guy although we all know he'll be paid handsomely for any inconvenience that he may incur over the next days or weeks.

Housing Action Plan: Addressing Healdsburg's Housing Needs & Priorities
Click here to see the Adopted Housing Action Plan
Click here to see Key Objectives about the Housing Action Plan
Click here to see information about the Housing Action Plan (Spanish)
On July 18th, following seven months of extensive community outreach and public input, the City Council unanimously adopted the City's first ever Housing Action Plan (HAP). The HAP, drafted by the Community Housing Committee (CHC) with input from residents, is a strategic plan that promotes more affordable and diverse housing in our community including multi-family rental units, small lot and higher density product types.
The HAP establishes a vision for housing in Healdsburg that articulates the kind of housing we would like created in our community and sets quantifiable objectives of what should be accomplished by 2022 to achieve the Vision. Progress on each Objective will be assessed by setting a series of Targets that demonstrate achievement of the Objectives, and a series of Recommendations that are defined programs and actions that need to be taken to meet the Targets for each Objective. To read the complete version of the HAP adopted by City Council on July 18, 2016, click here.
Housing Action Plan
Over the past seven months, the Community Housing Committee has been actively working with the community to prepare the City's first Housing Action Plan. The Housing Action Plan is a statement of the community's values and priorities related to housing and to form a 'call-to-action' for both City leadership and residents to more pro-actively shape the community's housing character and address our housing needs. The City of Healdsburg's Housing Action Plan is a companion document to other policy documents that inform, shape and direct the character and type of growth occurring in Healdsburg. These include the Strategic Plan, the General Plan, the Housing Element (which is part of the General Plan), the Land Use Code, the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (which is part of the Land Use Code), the Urban Growth Boundary and the City's Growth Management Ordinance.

One of the best ways to be better at your sport is simply to be stronger.
Almost all sports require some form of weight lifting because as the sports get more and more competitive, every athlete is looking for that edge to be the best.
I remember Dwayne Wade, Dwight Howard, and LeBron James, are incredibly strong guys.
You can tell just by looking at them.
Sure, conditioning, drills, and isometric training have their places in your training regimen, but to really become a stronger athlete, nothing beats good old fashion weight lifting.

st: Competing Risk for repeated event nominal dependent variables
Sun, 28 Feb 2010 11:55:44 -0500
Dear Listserv,
I am attempting to fit discrete-time event history model where the
outcome is nominal and can be repeated over time. The social process is
residential mobility. Instead of wanting to know the risk of moving into
a community or neighborhood (Allison-type model), I'm interested in the
risk of moving into a specific type of neighborhood. The dependent
variable therefore has multiple categories (4 to be specific) for
neighborhood type and time is discretized (into months). Any help
concerning how STATA 10 can handle this type of setup would be very helpful.

I first saw this lipstick on a friend, and I was intrigued with the color. I know bright red has been really popular for a long time, but that's not my color. I wear lots of neon colors, so this hot pink was perfect for me! It's a game-changer once you put this on. The color can stay until the next morning sometimes! It can be a bit messy, so you have to apply it very carefully. It also does rub off on others when you kiss them, so be aware of that.5

CureBeta Snags $8M Up Front for Beta-Cell Regeneration Candidates
Janssen is paying Evotec and its collaborators at Harvard University $8 million up front for exclusive access to a series of small molecule and biologic candidates designed to trigger the regeneration of pancreatic beta cells. The candidates were originally discovered at the laboratory of Harvard University's Douglas Melton, Ph.D., and have been further evaluated through the CureBeta collaboration between Dr. Melton and Evotec.
Under terms of the new licensing and collaboration deal Janssen could pay up to another $300 million in preclinical, clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestones, plus royalties on future sales. All fees and milestones will be shared by Evotec and Harvard according to preagreed terms. Evotec will receive additional research support for discovery and early development work to be conducted in collaboration with Janssen.
The CureBeta initiative was established by Harvard, Evotec and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) in 2011. The initial goal of the collaboration was to effect a comprehensive and systematic approach towards the identification and development of physiological mechanisms and targets that regulate beta cell replication. Evotec says early work has led to the development of new beta cell regeneration assays and tools, and the identification of high-potential targets.
"We have not only achieved our scientific goals of creating a superior beta cell drug discovery platform and generating a deep pipeline of novel and exciting targets, but we have also established a new model of collaboration between academia and industry that has proven highly efficient and effective in accelerating innovative scientific development," comments Cord Dohrmann, Ph.D., Evotec CSO. "Janssen Pharmaceuticals perfectly complements this effort, bringing in world-leading pharmaceutical development expertise as well as the necessary resources to execute our mission to produce first-in-class therapeutics designed to restore beta cell mass and function."
Building on the CureBeta model, Evotec initiated another partnership with Harvard University, and this time Brigham and Women's Hospital, focused on discovering and developing new biomarkers, diagnostics, and treatments for acute and chronic kidney disease. The CureNephron initiative aims to identify mechanisms involved in kidney disease that may have potential for the development of disease-modifying therapeutics, and validate biomarkers that will provide more accurate diagnosis and disease monitoring.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, housetrained, and up to date with shots.
Lexi is a beautiful Russian Blue who is approximately one year old. She's solid gray, as soft as you can imagine, and as sweet as they come. Her gorgeous emerald green eyes are highlighted by her beautiful gray her fur. Lexi was rescued from a salon in Monroe after all but one of her babies had been killed by a dog. She gets along great with other cats and loves to be petted and scratched. Lexi has been spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, and has tested negative for FeLv, heartworms, and Fiv. Please come meet Lexi and be the one who gives her the loving, permanent home she deserves. Adoptions available to good homes in the South Charlotte and Waxhaw areas. Visit http://sosfelinerescue.org to submit an application agreement. S.O.S. Feline Rescue Inc. is a non-profit animal rescue organization that runs on donations only. All proceeds go to provide veterinary care, food, and litter for the animals we have rescued. We do not receive any revenue for adoption of a cat. If you do not want to adopt, please considering donating to SOS or sponsoring a cat on our website.
Lexi, a Monroe Russian Blue cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Russian Blue for sale in Monroe, or seeking a Russian Blue cat from a breeder in Monroe.


text: Alight, so let me set the stage here: My friend and I are out for a cruise and a silver Audi A4 rolls next to me. We get to a red light and he revs his engine and rolls down his window. He asks if I wanna have a go, so I say "Eh, why not?" He then tells me he's stock, so I'm thinking that I'm about to stomp this guy. The light turns, I gun it and take the lead, and then all the sudden he flies by me with the white smokey-mist doing bursts from his pipe. The a$$hole was spraying NOS. Stock my a$$. I was pissed to say the least. I roll up to him, he starts laughing, and then drives off. That's life.

This is a message to a Protestant messenger posted on a
Catholic site. How generous. The webmaster, Jim, makes a note:

Currently I do not know much about this anonymous visionary except that she is married with kids and it appears that her whole family are prayer warriors. I also do not believe that this visionary is a Catholic. The reason I have included her messages though is because I know that the Holy Spirit can speak to anyone He wishes, regardless of faith or creed, and I don't want to hinder the Spirit's desire to spread messages to our brothers and sisters of different faiths.
In the mean time, please remember to prayer for discernment before proceeding, and if we find that her messages are not authentic, we will remove her messages.

I was praying last night after watching Obama win the election with a very heavy heart. I prayed for undeserved mercy for this nation as a whole, and I heard Spirit speak this:
You have made your choice America. You have kept a godless man in the White House. I now turn you over to yourselves. You are a nation divided, and a nation divided will not stand. Many sorrows are upon you. But though the sorrows may last for a night, My joy will follow quickly. My faithful need not fear, for I am ever faithful and true to bring you through this storm. Hold fast My people. Pray unceasingly.

States and AUVSI Partner to Transform the National Economy with Unmanned Aircraft Systems
ASA_AUVSI Media Release- AUVSI Partnership_FINAL
We are Retooling ASA
2016 represents Aerospace States Association's twenty-five years of successful partnership between states and aerospace stakeholders led by Lieutenant Governors to support aviation and space. ASA is proud of its rich history to help foster economic development, expand job opportunities, and inspire our youth to get the education and skills to properly prepare an emerging aerospace workforce for the 21st Century. Our sustainable growth is the result of a foundation based on our associate members program to bring industry and academia into ASA to advise and support state efforts and participate in our committees. As a result, we have identified and partnered with Real World Design Challenge (RWDC) to host a STEM educational program to encourage high school students to gain advanced, college-level design and project management skills while in high school. More recently we have focused our efforts to create and promote ASA state chapters to introduce the aerospace community to educators, as well as state legislators. As these programs continued to expand and become successful, it led to the formation of collateral partnerships with other associations. ASA's MOUs with the FAA, Embry Riddle, and now the Aerospace Industries Association have improved our standing in the aerospace industry and provided members new opportunities. For the past two decades, ASA has enjoyed steady growth as the aerospace industry soared to new heights as a result of evolving technology, new missions and goals. The future of the aerospace industry has lead ASA to create a motto that describes a vision for our Association for the 21st Century:
ASA: The Voice of Aerospace for the States
Where Government, Industry and Education Come Together
To further promote our efforts, we have created a new marketing brochure describing the benefits that ASA membership provides for associate members. The reverse side of the brochure describes a new integrated dues structure. Current state dues and the basic dues structure for companies remains unchanged; however, we now offer tiered membership structure ranging from our bronze through platinum associate memberships that provide funding for ASA, chapters, and the RWDC as part of the membership. At these levels, companies will be able to designate which state chapters will receive funding. These new membership levels will allow ASA national to help fund state chapter activities. Companies will be able to pay their ASA dues and contribute to state chapters and RWDC with one check while gaining a wide range of benefits, including a new program we are establishing "Bridge to the Future". It will allow companies to hire students who have completed the rigorous RWDC program. There have been 17,000 students who have participated in the RWDC over the past eight years. Many can now be employed by the aerospace industry, but the only way to gain access to these students is by joining ASA. A copy of the program description is on the RWDC Website.
ASA is excited about the future of aerospace and our role to lead and compete in 21st Century advancements and the global economy. Please send the "Join ASA" attachment, along with the application form, to your aerospace network. Thank you for your support of ASA!

ASA Establishes State Chapters
On January 17, 2014 Aerospace States Association voted to establish State Chapters:
MISSION: To educate, coordinate, facilitate, and advance the aerospace community within each state through policy development, educational discussions, and focused events, involving state elected and other government officials.
GOAL: Establish active state Chapters in all 50 states and 5 territories within 5 years. The chapter's primary goal will be to host at least one aerospace educational event each year for their state legislature. Over time, each Chapter is to become a key resource for state policy makers. The Chapter is to become the repository of information for the state's aerospace community and connection to ASA.
MEMBERSHIP: ASA Members and Associate Members, Government officials and staff, allied organizations and associations, and universities and colleges.
- The Chair of each chapter will be the Lt. Governor, Secretary of State, or a Governor appointed delegate to ASA. The Vice Chair will be an ASA Member or Associate Member selected by the State ASA Chapter Chair and will actively manage the chapter.
- The Chapter will meet at least biannually, but not in conflict with the ASA national conference, and at the call of the Chair and/or Vice Chair.
- The Chapter will seek as many in-state members as possible for the most involved and complete aerospace input into state issues and events.
- Chapters are required to report on activities at ASA national meetings and provide annual chapter report to ASA.
- Allied organizations and associations must be approved by the local Chapter and the national ASA
- Depending on state laws regarding legislative involvement, Honorary Members can be established.
- Chapters must abide by the 501 (c) (3) non-profit status of ASA
- FEES & DONATIONS: Each Chapter can decide if annual dues are needed for activities. All monies collected by the chapter including donations for specific events will be sent through national ASA and will be designated for Chapter activities, minus a 10% ASA administrative fee.
ACTIVITIES: Each Chapter is a forum for aerospace policy within a state. Depending on current activities within a state, each Chapter will have the flexibility to incorporate events, merge with other organization's events, or establish new events. Chapter events should not be designed to compete with established events set up by other organizations. Activities involving the state government are at the invite of the government officials.
Activities can include but are not limited to:
- Aerospace Day or Week at the State Capitol
- Policy Symposiums
- Lunch Lecture Series
- Policy Forums
- Panel Discussions
- Data gathering and coordination
- Data sharing/best practices
- Local policy events within a state region
- Legislative Roundtables
- Legislative Receptions
ASA will provide staff support as required for state chapter activities if funding is available.
All activities are to be designed to include all entities in support of the aerospace community within that state. The activities are to be inclusive and representative of the state's aerospace community as a whole.
Each Chapter will maintain information on state activities on the ASA website and social media pages.
ASA will provide staff for Chapter activities, provided sponsorship for such activities is achieved.

Keire Sets Two Pool Records as Swimming Falls to WKU
Nov. 9, 2013
CINCINNATI -Freshman Jackie Keire set a pair of pool records as the University of Cincinnati men's and women's swimming and diving teams both fell to Western Kentucky at the Keating Aquatics Center on Saturday, Nov. 9. The women fell by a score of 195-102, while the men were defeated, 195-101.
Keire highlighted the day for the Bearcats, scoring victories and pool records in both the 100 and 200 freestyle. She touched the wall in 49.64 in the 100, besting a six-year old pool record. Keire finished the 200 free in 1:47.46, taking down a seven-year old Keating record.
Action on the women's side began with a third place finish by Taylor Myszka in the 1,000 free. That was followed by Keire's victory in the 200 free.
The 100 backstroke followed with UC's Jessica Piper being edged by WKU's Allie Duff. Both Duff and Piper were faster than the pool record, previously held by UC's Liz Hansson.
The 100 breaststroke saw Cincinnati's Samime Wheeler and Helena Pikhartova finish second and third, respectively. The next strong Bearcat performances came in teh 200 backstroke. Piper earned a second place finish behind the Hilltoppers' Duff, who posted a pool record. Miranda Hampton placed third in the event for UC.
Pikhartova earned another solid finish in the 200 breast, finishing second. The 500 freestyle saw Hope Andrews also place second, before Iuliia Fedoreeva earned another second place finish in the 100 fly.
Piper and Wheeler capped the individual action with second and third place finishes in the 200 IM. The Bearcats placed second in the 200 freestyle relay with a time of 1:36.47
Joey Ferreri had one of the first top performances of the day for the Bearcats, finishing second in the 1,000 free. That was followed by Tommy Easley earning a third-place finish in the 200 free.
Donovan Kearns and Awse Ma'aya finished second and third in the 100 yard backstroke, finishing behind WKU's Seth Musser who was less than a second off the pool record.
The 100 free saw another strong UC performance, as Michael Palleros won in 47.02, followed by D.J. Waite in 47.27.
Kearns had another solid performance in the 200 back, placing third. Nik Balmer did the same in the 200 breaststroke.
Chloe Merriss was the top UC performer on the one-meter board, scoring 221.25. She was also the top Bearcat on the three-meter, scoring 197.47.
Michael Arnold placed second on the one-meter, with a score of 224.25. Bill Magill was third with a total of 222.22. Jimmy McMahon was second on the three-meter at 203.47.
The Bearcats will travel to the Pittsburgh Invitational, where they'll take on the host Panthers, Fairmont State and West Virginia Wesleyan, as well as the California (Pa.) women, St. Bonaventure men and the Clemson divers.

Houses in one of the UK's biggest cities are currently being flogged for just £1.
Homes in a failed regeneration zone are set to be sold for the paltry sum even though they were bought for as much as £70,000 under ex-Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott's regeneration Pathfinder scheme.
Liverpool city council is now offering the Victorian terraced homes in the Granby Triangle at the rock-bottom price to DIY enthusiasts.
The derelict properties can be snapped up for the price of a pasty after council bosses broke off talks with a contractor over a £25m plan to transform this financially-struggling area of the city.
Now, since the deal fell through and homes have left boarded up and empty, the council proposes to sell off a cluster of houses for just £1 to residents - on the condition they will be brought up to a decent standard.
Private landlords will also be able to bid for the tender to refurbish some of the vacant homes and then buy the freeholds for that same budget price.
Homes in the "Granby Triangle" area of Kensington in the city were part of John Prescott's plan to raze thousands of homes across the country.
An estimated £2.2bn was blown on buying and demolishing homes while much fewer new homes were built for the displaced occupants and others on waiting lists.
Liverpool's deputy mayor and council finance chief Cllr Paul Brant said of the scheme: "This allows people who may be excluded from mortgages but have construction skills to play a part in the regeneration of their communities.
"It's been proven to work in other parts of the region. We've seen that the private sector model has not succeeded so far and, through this way of doing things, if there is any profit it will stay with local people."
The project has won the support of residents, and one, Theresa MacDermott said: "This is a much better scenario.
"Obviously there were delays because of the situation with the last failed scheme, but although there's some uncertainty at the moment it's positive."
Liverpool's Liberal Democrat group leader Cllr Richard Kemp said he hoped the plan would succeed, adding: "I think this is a good idea, provided there's a solid basis for it.
"Either housing associations or private individuals need to be doing this, as there's no profit to be made out of this kind of scheme, as we've seen through those that have failed."

text: I think Dallas beat a team whose physcially and mentally tired and defeated, and still they stood up for a divsional rival, which is what they must do. I think they accomplished more with a rookie qb and rookie RB, and a depleted Oline and a not so good defense as advertised. Is there any silver lining in that? Clearly no? is it encouraging for next week? so so. but as long as you live today whetehr limp or crawl, you dont know what next week brings. Many many factors play into each and every game, simple put. Dallas doesnt have to be happy about the win, but the fans can be, unless your a nut and bolt fan who gets into science and technical words of the game. Compared to the happy guy with a beer in his hand. Jerry and this franchise needs to look into the soul of this team and make some changes over the course of the offseason. I think some players are not playing with soul and some are playing wiht soul but some are just backups. McCray comes to mind, but theres no shame in that. Romo is doing a lot of which is being asked of him with what he has at his disposal and hes doing a great job. Murry came to play and Dez came to play. Yes the Oline needs an overhaul but i have more faith in Callahan than i have in recent weeks. I am stil not happy with the defense, but I will wait til the injuries are over and IF we get a safety in the offseason, doesnt need to be stellar, but I think the defense would benefit greatly from it. Than you have to gut the lines and look at what you have and see whats out there and start moving pieces around and shoring up contracts of players you want to keep whether for depth or starters, and I think more work has to get into that defensive line BECAUSE this defense needs to start dictating games INSTEAD of playing to the opponents offense. That starts with Ryan if he should or should not be brought back.

Storm's big unit ready to bloom
Page Tools
Flowerpot man … Storm prop Brett White lovingly tends bonsai plants at his Richmond home ahead of this weekend's clash against the Cowboys.
Photo: Nic Kocher
Fate - and a change of clubs - has positioned Brett White to stand up and be counted in the engine room, writes Roy Masters.
A front-row forward whose hobby was the ancient Japanese art of bonsai would once have been greeted by an opposition prop with the words: "What's doing, daisy?", or "Here comes petal".
The game is too fast now, with players gasping for breath to retreat the 10 metres in defence, or position themselves at the ruck against a fast play-the-ball.
That suits Melbourne prop Brett White, who cultivates miniature trees in trays in his Richmond unit, cutting back the roots and lovingly nurturing every branch and twig until plant and pot are a single harmonious unit.
White became interested in the millennia-old art form when living in Sydney, where he played four years for the Dragons until, as he says: "I realised that the club was pretty full up for props with Luke Bailey, Jason Ryles, Ashton Sims and Justin Poore."
White, who has averaged 39.4 minutes in 23 games this year, compared with captain and fellow prop Robbie Kearns's 55.5, adds: "I thought I could get a break somewhere and then Craig [Bellamy, Storm coach] rang me and told me if I did the hard yards in the off-season, there could be a starting spot for me."
Kearns suffered a dislocated shoulder last weekend and, even if he plays against the Cowboys at Aussie Stadium tomorrow, it will affect the Storm's bench rotation. In other words, more will be expected of 23-year-old White.
Former Storm chief executive and international centre Chris Johns watched White's 43 minutes against Brisbane last weekend and has been following his career. "It's hard to get 80 minutes out of young kids like him," Johns says. "When Shane Webcke was 20, we thought he was a bit soft and he used to complain about little injuries.
"Since then, he's learned to deal with adversity and pain and it's hard for props because they have to carry the most weight.
"White's got to go through all that but, with Robbie injured, he'll have to fast-forward his career."
It's unlikely the Cowboys forward pack will address White as "Bill and Ben", as in "The Flowerpot Men", but this front-rower - weighing 109kg and standing 189cm - is big enough for two.
His statistics against Brisbane were impressive for a new prop: 13 hit-ups for 93 metres, 25 tackles and two misses.
"I try and make the yardage so blokes like [centre] Matt King can do what they do," he says. "I try and get up on the front foot in defence. But there won't be any stinks. The way it is now, you miss a few weeks if you get into blues. I don't go looking for it, but I don't take a backward step either."
Of his hobby, he says: "I learnt bonsai when I was in Sydney. I haven't been able to get into it as much in Melbourne because I haven't had much time. I tried to get a few plants going on my own but you can't get much to grow over the winter. I've got nothing flowering at the moment.
"They take off over the summer. I'll give [the bonsai growing] a real go in the off-season."
Very heavy in the shoulders and chest, there is something inherently contradictory about a footballer trying to get bigger while he spends his leisure hours making plants smaller.
But props are the most underestimated of all players. They are ridiculed for lack of intelligence, yet obsess about miniature details which improve their game.
"I try and make a mark for myself," White says. "I try and hold down my jumper. I try to be one of the Ryleses, one of the Baileys."
White has an 18-month-old daughter, Georgia, who lives in Sydney. "Georgia's mother and I aren't together any more," he explains.
"The hardest part of being in Melbourne is I go for three or four weeks without seeing my daughter. I'm hoping to get her to the game on Saturday night."
At the family home in Jindabyne, White still has football cards of Webcke and Kearns but he is no longer overawed. He has pushed past Alex Chan to claim the club's number two prop position.
Steve "Blocker" Roach, the former Balmain and international front-rower, speaking of the good old days, says it's fortunate scrums are no longer competitive.
"Imagine Whitey packing into the scrum in the old days and everyone knew of his love of flowers," Blocker says.
"They'd say: 'What's that smell of flowers in here?'.
"Maybe it would have aroused an old front-rower."

|That does not mean that your defrost thermostat is bad. That test just shows you the state that the thermostat is in at the time. If you have a frosted ofver evaporator coil the the defrost thermostat should be closed (shorted).....you haven't found your problem yet. You need to remove that back wall and comfirm that you have a true defrost problem. If you remove the back wall and the evaporator is not frosted over then your most likely gonna have a bad evaporator fan motor. Usuall on these models the evap. fan will run but not at the correct speed so it will simulate a defrost problem.....keep us posted.

- We did the fall festival at our church on Sunday afternoon - the second-lamest trunk or treat decorations there... although maybe we were the lamest since we didn't even win the Least Decorated award. The corollary to this is don't wait until the day of the even to duck out and grab stuff. We were next to a guy with dry ice giving mini lessons on phases of matter... and we had five plastic spiders.
- Sarah's second Halloween went pretty well. She's still not eating candy (because yes, I am *that* mom, not letting my one year old eat candy) so at the festival she just looked at all the other trunk decorations with this studious expression, like she was trying to figure out what all the fuss was about.
- We had a couple of trick or treaters, but the
hellions, crumb-faced munchkins,kids didn't show up until after 9 - we had the doors locked and were turning off lights inside when they knocked. And the mom in my head kept thinking "they are WAY too young to be out trick or treating this late!" (As Laurie would say, I'm really 58 years old.)
- Work has been full of drama on some levels - if I could tell you half of it, you would never believe me. I am making every possible effort to keep my head down and use the philosophy that the only way around is through. I sit in my cube and work quietly and hope they just sort of forget I'm here. I mean, keep paying me, I'm not stupid, but just let me come to work, put in my hours, and go home please and thank you.
- I have some greater plans. I'm not quite ready to talk about them just yet, and I'm not quite to taking over the world territory, but it would certainly make my little part of the world much more awesome. I feel like I'm standing on the edge of something amazing, but I'm hesitant to take that first step. Insecurity and fear are hard to put totally behind you is all I'm saying.

Stock Regulators: What Happened To Canada's Red Flags?
For four years, YBM Magnex International Inc. was a darling on the Canadian stock markets. The small Pennsylvania-based magnet maker grew from a shell company that traded for pennies on the wild and woolly Alberta Stock Exchange to a global industrial player whose stock climbed to nearly $14 a share last March, hiking its market value above $600 million. It was boosted by analysts from some of Canada's toniest brokerage houses. As a way to tap into promising trade with the former Eastern bloc, it stirred interest and recruited high-profile board members.
The bubble burst on May 13, when the U.S. Customs Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Internal Revenue Service, and Immigration & Naturalization Service raided the company's Philadelphia-area headquarters. A spokeswoman for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police says the raid was part of a two-year criminal investigation. Trading in YBM has been suspended on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The company, whose auditors, Deloitte & Touche, say it may have been involved in "illegal acts," is awaiting a report by outside investigators requested by the independent directors. YBM spokesman Guy Scala says the company is "aware of no facts which support speculation that it has engaged in unlawful acts."
What's most remarkable about the YBM saga is the veritable forest of red flags that were ignored by Canadian securities regulators, brokerage executives, and investors: disturbing associations with alleged Russian gangsters, suspicions of money laundering that drew the eyes of law enforcers worldwide, and the company's questionable financial statements. Regulators, who knew of YBM's dubious origins, cleared it for trading first in Alberta and then on the prestigious Toronto exchange. And investors, especially many of Canada's major-league mutual funds, helped YBM through a $34 million public offering last fall. "As a Canadian investor, I find it embarrassing," says Stephen Foerster, an associate professor of finance at the University of Western Ontario. "It can tarnish the image of Canadian markets in general."
Hints of trouble have surrounded YBM since 1994. First, there was its peculiar start: YBM's backers--chiefly Jacob G. Bogatin, a Russian-born magnet-science expert, and Semeon Mogilevitch, a suspected organized-crime leader from Hungary who together with relatives and associates was a principal YBM shareholder--picked up a worthless corporate shell on the Alberta Stock Exchange called Pratecs Technologies Inc. By going public through merging YBM into Pratecs, they avoided the intense scrutiny that accompanies an initial public offering--either in the U.S. or in Canada. Bogatin declined to comment. Attempts to reach Mogilevitch to obtain his response to this article were unsuccessful. Scala says Mogilevitch had no role in management and now is only a small shareholder.
The most glaring sign of problems arose in mid-1995. Pratecs halted trading for six weeks when Alberta exchange officials were alerted that British investigators were looking into an affiliated outfit, Arigon Co., on suspicions of money laundering. For a time, Arigon's assets were frozen in Britain, but legal actions were dropped. Mogilevitch, however, was banned from entering Britain. Nonetheless, officials of the Alberta Stock Exchange permitted trading to resume, explaining that they couldn't bar it without proved wrongdoing.
Despite its questionable origins, Pratecs changed its name to YBM and was able to rebuild its reputation with the help of some of Canada's most distinguished brokerage firms. In late 1995, First Marathon Securities Ltd., Canada's largest independent investment house, and Griffiths McBurney & Partners, seemingly entranced by the company's promising ventures in the fast-growing former communist countries, helped YBM through a $9.4 million underwriting. A spokesman for First Marathon says due-diligence reviews on YBM were "comprehensive" and took note of the British investigations but cleared the firm for investment anyway. Says First Marathon's spokesman F. Michael Walsh, "We were as much taken by surprise by these events as anyone."
BARTER BIZ? Critics say the underwriters would not have had to look far for trouble signs regarding Mogilevitch and his associates. Magnex and its subsidiary, Arigon, turned up in overseas news accounts about Russian mobsters in 1995. More recently, warning signs arose within YBM: Deloitte & Touche raised worries about how the company does business. Primarily a maker and seller of industrial magnets, it also apparently traded diesel oil through complex bartering arrangements in Eastern Europe that confounded Western auditors. In its prospectus, the company noted that D&T reported the oil wasn't accurately recorded in inventory because of "inadvertent error on the part of management." A YBM spokesman says it does not take part directly in bartering.
Analysts, though, kept supporting the stock. When it dipped in March, Nesbitt Burns analyst Peter Sklar gushed that the "fundamental prospects for the company are intact and that the recent weakness presents a buying opportunity." Vancouver market critic Adrian du Plessis, who has written extensively on YBM, complains analysts "don't do their homework." Sklar declined comment.
To some critics, the YBM saga dramatizes the shortcomings of the fragmented regulation in Canadian securities markets. "Maybe we need to upgrade the whole practice in Canada and harmonize it with similar practices in the U.S.," says G. Andrew Karolyi, a professor of finance at the University of Western Ontario. Coming on the heels of last year's multibillion-dollar Bre-X Minerals Ltd. gold-mining scandal, Canada's stock markets can't afford yet another humiliating black eye.


text: GM Rep, I have a serious problem with my 2011 V Coupe. I stopped at 7-11 this morning for coffee. When I came out my doors would not unlock. I used the OnStar ap on my IPhone to unlock the doors. When I got in the DIC showed the following message "No FOB found" and then "Theft Attempted". After about 15 minutes everything worked fine. I have had the car for almost 3months and this happens about once a week. The dealer said they could not find a problem. Of course it works fine at the dealership. I would really hate to be steamed because of this problem.

How a Lotion Works & Several Tips for a Healthy Skin
To understand how a lotion works you should first of all be aware that your skin consists of multiple layers. A lotion interacts with the epidermis, the very top layer of the skin. This layer is very thin and could be compared to a piece of paper. Nevertheless the epidermis is not very permeable and protects our body from the outside factors so keeping foreign objects out.
On the other hand, skin is considered to have not very high degree of permeability. For instance, water could easily soak into it. But still the most important nutrients reach the skin from the inside, i.e. through the blood. So to speak, if you want to make your skin healthier and to substitute it with all the necessary vitamins it's necessary to get these vitamins to the blood. That is why it's meaningless to add any kind of vitamins with a lotion.
Before using a lotion you should clean your skin properly, not to allow dirt to get into the pores with the lotion. On the other hand, a lotion should not be used when it breaks down over time.
Besides there are several tips, which are rather helpful, if you want your skin to look good.
It's very important to eat healthy food. Though you may think that it doesn't influence the look of your skin, it really does. For instance, if you consume too much sugar, your skin may become listless and bloaty.
Many people think that drinking much water may result in gaining a weight. But in fact, if your body 'wants' water then it really needs that. Water helps flush the toxins from your body and helps your body and skin look healthy.
One more thing which is rather necessary for healthy skin is a good sleep.
Dark rings under the eyes are a result of bad sleep, because your skin has not
managed to renew and refresh.
And of course, the other factor, which influences the state of your skin
greatly, is smoking. That's why quit this bad habit and you have not only
healthy skin but a healthy body as well.
