Military life in Canada is a family affair, and the spouses and children of service people face unique challenges. They must cope with repeated moves and long absences, an age-old problem heightened by a profound shift: Military families include more single parents and dual-service couples than ever before. As the 30,000 Afghanistan veterans return home, many are grappling with mental-health issues. More than two-thirds live off-base, sometimes isolated among civilian neighbours who may falsely believe they get free housing, jump the queue for a new doctor and don't pay taxes. As research shows, military families are remarkably resilient, but the strains are evident. "Part of the culture of military life is that you don't whine, you don't complain, you don't ask – you figure it out yourself," says Nora Spinks, the executive director of the Vanier Institute of the Family. The institute is starting a public-awareness campaign to educate the public about military life and remind Canadians, as they honour their veterans and soldiers this Remembrance Day, that there is family standing – and sometimes struggling – behind every uniform.
'We're both mom and dad'
Master Warrant Officer Paul Watkins proudly lists his fatherhood milestones: baking homemade bread; finding a bargain price on a package of diapers, shopping with his daughter for her first bra. He remembers designing sets for a Christmas concert and cooking pancake breakfasts at school. Sometimes, he'd be the only dad in the room. "You are very proud of yourself then – especially when your child looks out and sees you there."
But it's not all Mr. Mom moments: The white towels that emerged from the laundry pink are a family joke, and MWO Watkins, an aviation maintenance superintendent who often works the night shift, also recalls the hockey games and band practice and homework help his kids missed because no one was home. That's the cost of having two military parents, both serving in positions that can send them on search-and-rescue missions with an hour's notice, or see them deployed to Afghanistan for months at a time. Occasionally, their absences would overlap. In 2008, Master Corporal Shae Watkins, an administrative clerk, was deployed to Kandahar; last year, it was Paul's turn – he was away from home for 234 days, training time included. For now, Paul and Shae are home together, based at CFB Comox in British Columbia.
"The kids grew up knowing at any one moment one or two of us could be gone," Paul says. "We're both mom and dad." While military families work together, carpooling and filling in on short notice, "you are really on your own. You make the best of it."
When Hurricane Juan struck the East Coast in 2003, Shae was stationed on the HMCS Charlottetown. Their house had lost power and running water; before he left for work to assist with the search-and-rescue operations, Paul organized a generator, a sitter, and drove his four kids to the gas station so they could each fill up their rationed jerrycans. The family had bought a house about half an hour outside Halifax to save on housing – moving around on short notice can make a large mortgage risky, even if you can afford it – so there wasn't support from the base. That's also a new reality for military families: Living "on civvy street" means their kids didn't have peers who also track storms on satellite when they worry about mom out at sea, or who consult maps when a bomb explodes in Afghanistan. "They are acutely aware of what's going on," Paul says. "You have to toughen them up a little bit."
And while Shae was accustomed to Paul's long absences, since he had been away more often earlier in their marriage, she says, "you realize how alone you are during extended deployments when the chores are done, the kids have gone to bed and you do not have anyone to talk to or discuss family issues. There is no replacing your other half."
The bra story is classic Watkins lore, says Chelsea, 17, the only girl in the family: "My dad will probably tell that story at my wedding." But being the kids in a dual-service family can also be lonely – she once stormed out of class in tears when the students started criticizing the mission in Afghanistan. During dangerous deployments, missing a phone call home would be devastating. And although Chelsea visited the school counsellor once a week, she rarely felt understood. "It was hard to find someone to talk to," she says.
Despite the upheaval of her childhood, Chelsea says she also saw the positives of military life: the service to your country, the adventure, the ability to provide for your family. She is planning to enlist when she graduates. Her eldest brother, Scott, left for basic training in Quebec this week.
Through all the confounding logistics, the shift-juggling and the moments of isolation, Paul insists, "it does grow your family bond. If you stay together and help yourself, you become a lot stronger than you normally would."

'It's the life I have chosen'
That night before Peggy Murphy was leaving for her deployment to Afghanistan, she lay in bed with her then seven-year-old daughter, Ashley, who was trying to stay awake all night. "She said, 'if I fall asleep, I know when I open my eyes, you will be gone,' " recalls Sergeant Murphy, a single mother of two, who was deployed for 10 months to Kandahar in 2007 as a resource management clerk.
Her son, Christopher, a year older, was more stoic, masking his worry in jokes about how he was going to dodge homework while mom was away. But Ashley took her mom's departure into a war zone hard. That Christmas, while Sgt. Murphy was home on leave between training and deployment, she pulled her mom aside and started to sob. "I don't want you to die," she said, "I am so afraid you are going to be killed." Don't worry, her mom told her, "I just take care of the good guys who fight the bad guys." That conversation, Sgt. Murphy says, "was the hardest part of my whole trip to Afghanistan."
Sgt. Murphy isn't a complainer – she is quick to clarify that she joined the military because it was her dream career, not because she needed a secure job. Of course, she didn't expect to be juggling long absences without a partner, relying instead on her 60-year-old dad, Kenneth, a retired fish-plant worker in Newfoundland, to travel halfway across the country at a moment's notice when she has to be away for weeks at a time. "It's the life I have chosen," she says, matter-of-factly. "It doesn't come without its share of hardships. But if I've got it crappy in one department, someone else has always got it worse."
When she learned she was being deployed to Afghanistan, it was the realization of her military ambitions. But, including training, she would be gone for nearly a year and a half. She decided to send her two children back to Paradise, Nfld., a town next to St. John's, so they could live among family.
On the base in Kandahar, Sgt. Murphy's job involved finding the emergency notification for a lost soldier so a padre could break the news to his family. "Those are the days when you think about your family at home and how much they must be worrying and you feel guilty." At least, living off short, crackling phone calls home and regular Web chats, she knew her children were safe. Says her father, in a voice thick with pride, "I used to tell her, 'keep your head about you.' But I guess she knows that anyway."
Even with a strong support network, worry leaves a shadow. Not long after Sgt. Murphy returned home, Ashley's teacher phoned to say her normally outgoing daughter was crying over minor mishaps and refusing to participate in group activities. Sgt. Murphy took her to counselling. Ashley had trouble letting go of the "what-ifs": What if her mom hadn't come home? What if she'd been injured? "I had to promise the kids I wouldn't go away for three years," Sgt. Murphy says. "It's a promise you can't always keep, but I got lucky."
Today, the Murphys live in the small community of Masson-Angers, Que.; Sgt. Murphy is posted to the Canadian Forces Language School in Gatineau. One night while she was working late, her son, Christopher, left the bathtub faucet running and didn't notice until water dripped down through the kitchen ceiling light. Sgt. Murphy arrived home to four neighbours mopping her floor. "I don't know what it is about the uniform, but my luck has been that my community is always ready to help."
Eventually, she will be posted again – handling the logistics of finding a new house, a good school, and a doctor for the children. She knows it will get harder now that her kids are teenagers, and no longer "at the age when they don't care whose Play-Doh they eat." But the family is resilient, she says. Laughter helps. "Now when I am on them about their homework, they'll say to me, 'Mom, don't you have a tour to go or something?' "

'I wasn't just one person injured that day'
Mark Campbell is angry. Not just because he lost both his legs while serving in Afghanistan, or because he's felt abandoned by the military since then, or even because he's now suing the Canadian Forces, his employer.
All that pales beside another factor: his family, who are suffering the fallout of his injury as much as he is. His wife slid into a deep depression after trying to navigate the bureaucracy of a military system Major Campbell says was entirely unprepared to handle casualties. His kids' performance in school has sunk. The family was forced to move, burning through an inheritance, and is guaranteed less income than if he hadn't been injured – he and his wife Donna, a Warrant Officer, expect to be discharged by the military.
All told, the family's home has become a powder keg.
"I wasn't just one person injured that day," Major Campbell says, sitting at the kitchen table of a home they built, north of Edmonton, to accommodate a wheelchair. "There were three other immediate members of my family who might as well have been in that blast with me, because it affected them just as much as it affected me."
Major Campbell was injured by a roadside bomb in Zhari district of Kandahar province in 2008. His recovery took its toll from early on. At first, the family of four could spend time together only in hotels or in the garage, as their old home couldn't accommodate a wheelchair.
Since the injury, Major Campbell says the old cliché held true – his biggest battles awaited him at home. He says they've been forced to claw for every benefit, and that the military has fought them along the way. In particular, he's waged a battle against Canada's New Veterans' Charter, which – despite its rosy name – he says dramatically clawed back benefits for injured soldiers in the midst of the Afghan mission.
The injuries put a stress on the marriage, too, whether from Major Campbell's nightmares (he still gets them nightly, thrashing and punching in his sleep) or his physical injuries, including a missing testicle and genital scarring ("which had impacts later on down the road with the family dynamic, as you can well imagine," he says).
WO Campbell, a full-time reservist who, like her husband, is taking medication for her mental health, recalls watching a TV show shortly after his injury, featuring an injured soldier whose wife had left him.
"I said how could she leave him at the time he really needs help?" she says. "You know what? Then, over the years, I lived it and I can understand why, right now, somebody would bail. There are a lot of soldiers whose wives have left. Because Mark's not the same guy he used to be."
In some ways, they say, their marriage is stronger. But WO Campbell says she feels betrayed by the military. He's quickly stirred to anger and profanity – calmed only by his wife gently touching his arm – over the treatment he has received since coming home.
"That's just the basic idea," he says. "If I'm going to give you a signed blank cheque up to and including my life, then you better have my family's back when I come home in a box or chair. That's the deal. Well, I went. I held up my end of the bargain. Then you get hurt and you find out that the institution that you've devoted your entire life and your loyalty to has turned around and stabbed you in the back."

About 60,000 years ago, the first Homo sapiens were just beginning their move across the grasslands and up the ladder of civilization. Everything since then, as they say, is history. Just in case you were sleeping in class that day, the geniuses at mental_floss magazine have put together a hilarious (and historically accurate) primer on everything you need to know-and that means the good stuff.Twelve core chapters of world history tackle everything from civilization's baby steps in the Fertile Crescent to the Not-Really-That-Dark-Unless-You-Lived-in-Europe Ages to A World United by Terror and TV. From the Golden Haemorhoids of the Philistines (punishment from above) to the likely namesake of the cartoon elephant Babar (a Mongol prince) to the most pressing language translation issues facing the menus of today ("carp" vs. "crap"), all of history's most interesting bits have finally been handpicked and roasted to perfection.

text: First trip to DL with family. Only have two days for the parks (squeezed DL into a larger trip), June 10 and 11. We have 2 day PH but are staying at the GC so we can hit Magic Morning for DL on the 10th. Question - should we take advantage and go to DL on the Magic Morning or switch and go to DCA on the 10th and DL on the 11th. I'm very familiar with WDW and we would avoid the EE days and go to another park but I'm not sure if that strategy works at DL. BTW, getting up early is no problem for our family.

New York - American real estate tycoon Donald Trump on Wednesday announced the biggest addition yet to his golf course holdings - Open Championship host Turnberry.
Trump said in a statement that he had agreed to buy the fabled links course on the west coast of Scotland, calling it "an honour and a privilege to own one of golf's greatest and most exciting properties."
The Trump Organisation did not disclose terms of the deal, but the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported Trump bought it for the "bargain price" of $60 million from Dubai-based Leisurecorp.
Trump said he intended to invest "many millions of dollars" to improve the resort's Turnberry Hotel, although he said he wouldn't consider any changes to the golf course unless the Royal & Ancient, global golf's governing body, approve them.
"I won't do anything to the golf course at all without their full stamp of approval," Trump told golf.com.
Turnberry's Ailsa Course has hosted the Open Championship four times, most recently in 2009, when Stewart Cink defeated Tom Watson in a playoff.
Watson won the first and most famous edition of the Open to be held at Turnberry, claiming a one-stroke victory over Jack Nicklaus in 1977, their final round battle known as the "Duel in the Sun."
Australian Greg Norman lifted the Claret Jug at Turnberry in 1986 and Zimbabwe's Nick Price won there in 1994.

Citation: GRUNWALD, N.J., FRY, W.W. MANAGING POTATO LATE BLIGHT AT THE CENTER OF ORIGIN: INTEGRATING DURABLE RESISTANCE WITH A DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM. PHYTOPATHOLOGY. 92(6):S32. 2002. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Management of potato late blight in the highland tropics is costly and difficult. Integrating the use of resistant cultivars with a fungicide forecasting system could lower the number of fungicide applications. The Mexican national potato program has produced several cultivars with high levels of field resistance. We evaluated durability of resistance to potato late blight of a selection of 12 cultivars (1960-1999) and found that field-resistance in the Mexican germplasm is durable. Previously, we evaluated the fungicide forecasting system SimCast for use with these Mexican cultivars and found that it predicted too many fungicide applications for cultivars of moderate to high levels of resistance. We adapted SimCast and field validations conducted in 1999 and 2000 show that SimCast resulted in good disease control on cultivars ranging from susceptible to highly resistant. The number of fungicide applications forecast for cultivars with moderate to high levels of resistance was reduced. Precipitation was the environmental variable responsible for most of the forecasts. A user-friendly decision support system consisting of just a rain-gauge and the exclusive use of SimCast's fungicide units could be a valuable and affordable tool in managing potato late blight in the highland tropics.

St. Ann in Crisis
RENAISSANCE. It actually started last week when the Coulted One appeared on Fox & Friends to promote her new book and confessed that she was mortified to have been received on the Today Show like a normal human being. She was clearly outraged that Matt Lauer and Company hadn't responded to her appearance with their usual outrage. Now, it appears, she's taking steps to reclaim her fading infamy. Today, FoxNews.com reports:
Slash-and-burn columnist Ann Coulter shocked a cable TV talk-show audience Monday when she declared that Jews need to be "perfected" by becoming Christians, and that America would be better off if everyone were Christian.
Coulter made the remarkable statements during an often heated appearance to promote her new book on advertising guru Donny Deutsch's CNBC show "The Big Idea."
In response to a question from Deutsch asking Coulter if "it would be better if we were all Christian," the controversial columnist responded: "Yes."
"We should all be Christian?" Deutsch repeated.
"Yes," Coulter responded, asking Deutsch, who is Jewish, if he would like to "come to church with me."
Deutsch, pressing Coulter further, asked, "We should just throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians?" She responded: "Yeah."
Coulter deflected Deutsch's assertion that her comments were anti-Semitic, matter-of-factly telling the show's obviously upset host, "That is what Christians consider themselves: perfected Jews."
Obviously, Ann is trying to regain the notoriety she once received for declaring that Christians should invade Arabia and convert all muslims to Christianity under pain of death. But, sadly, it's just not working anymore. Far too many otherwise sane liberals have realized that Coulter is merely exhibiting a sense of humor, which -- though alien to their own experience -- removes enough sting from her posturings to render her harmless.
We'd like to help. So we've decided to take her seriously. What a mean-spirited, bigoted bitch! And, boy, have we figured out how to make fun of you, you Christian chauvinist, short-skirted hussy you. Watch this and weep:
You're probably feeling pretty small about now, aren't you, Ann?
Sure you are.

The Bollywood star condemned Pakistani army for their heinous crime, however, he also urged the countrymen not to be unreasonable in their reactions against the neighbouring country.
The star was quoted as saying, "Things like country, politics, sports, war, border should be kept different... (he recalled that his earlier remarks on sports had raised a controversy) In a country so volatile, where the youth demand a hard stand... which is a good thing in a democracy."
"I don't want to participate in anything of which we both don't have knowledge. I think you and I should be looking at methods to end this strife at the border," added SRK.
Continuing his statement, SRK also stated, "I have been watching TV, where people are saying "haan sabak sikha denge" (let's teach them a lesson). That is completely wrong. It is sad, soldiers should not die for unnecessary reasons. We should take a hard stand. We should be very clear and whoever does wrong, should have to account for it and be put to the test. As an Indian, I am deeply saddened."
Meanwhile, Indian Army Chief General Bikram Singh on Monday, Jan 14 made it clear that the Indian soldiers deployed in Jammu and Kashmir will strike back strongly if there is any further provocation from their Pakistani counterparts.
"I have given very categorical directions to the Northern Command. When we are provoked we shall respond immediately. I expect my commanders to be aggressive in the face of firing," Singh said.
Two Indian soldiers were killed by Pakistani troops in the Mendhar sector of Jammu and Kashmir. The attackers who intruded nearly 600 metres inside Indian territory had snatched the duo's service rifles. One of the two soldiers was beheaded.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi and welcome,
A move will not affect your children as much as remaining near to your ex will. Any person who would tell two children that if they move (like they have the power to make a decision like that) he will "cut them off" is doing more harm than good, it is emotional and verbal abuse. What kind of stability and security do they have now with a father who would threaten them in this way.You are the one who needs to decide what to do. Your children cannot refuse to go, there will be adjustment issues and, if you move I would suggest you find a therapist to help the children adjust to the move. In fact they would benefit from therapy now as a way to deal with the what they are experiencing due to their Dad's abusive behavior.

Agent-based backup pros and cons
Curtis Preston discusses the pros and cons of agent-based backup software such as TSM or Netvault compared to an agentless backup solution like Asigra.
This Article Covers
Backup software
What are the pros and cons of agent-based backup software like TSM or Netvault compared to an agentless backup solution like Asigra? Which would be better for a SMB environment?
Drill down into today's new backup approaches
Due to the features of most modern backup software – which include snapshot management, DR elements, cloud support, VM protection – backups can do so much more than simply restoring data in the event of a storage or server failure. Download this guide and not only discover the latest upgrades to today's top enterprise backup vendors, but also learn where backup software works best in your computing environment.

The advantage to an agent-based architecture is that it can provide its own authentication mechanisms. The agent is always running as a service/daemon, and the server authenticates itself using a proprietary mechanism that doesn't usually involve the creation of a username and password on the client. (There are some agent-based architectures that still require the root/administrator password of the machine to be backed up. That's just lazy programming, IMNSHO.) The disadvantage to an agent-based architecture is that you have to manage an agent installed on potentially hundreds or even thousands of client machines.
An agentless architecture doesn't require the management of agent software; however, it must rely on established communication protocols (e.g. FTP, CIFS/SMB, TELNET, SSH) to communicate with the client. Therefore, the backup server must communicate with each client using a pre-arranged username and password, usually a privileged one. (It must be privileged enough to access all data that must be backed up.)
I think either architecture would work just fine in an SMB environment. It's the enterprise that would have the strongest opinions about the values or merits of an agent-based or agentless architecture. While a company with 1000 systems to back up would see a great benefit from not having to manage an agent on each machine, they might also object to storing the username and password of a privileged account on the backup server (even if it's encrypted).

Susan Damour flunked retirement. She tried it at age 64 in 2008, along with her husband, Tim, who was 68. That lasted a year.
Overseas travel, cooking and knitting sweaters for the grandchildren weren't enough to satisfy her. Tim, a retired attorney, was happy enough, but Ms. Damour hated it.
"I'm an extrovert," Ms. Damour says. "I draw my strength from being around people, and I crave being in a problem-solving environment. Retirement was like being put in a prison."
Fortunately for her, the Obama administration approached her soon after the 2008 election, inviting her to rejoin the General Services Administration, which manages buildings and procurement for the government. She had served as regional administrator for the GSA's six-state Rocky Mountain region during the Clinton years, and she returned to the same position near the end of 2009.
Now 69, Ms. Damour loves her job, which focuses this time around on spurring environmental initiatives in government buildings, something she cares deeply about.
Ms. Damour's experience illustrates one of the most surprising recent U.S. economic trends: the increasing presence of women working well beyond traditional retirement age, into their late sixties, seventies and beyond. This will be the fastest-growing work force segment in the next five years, according to the U.S. Department of Labour.
The number of working women over age 65 rose 147 per cent from 1977 to 2007; those over 75 rose 172 per cent, according to the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Over the next five years, the number of older women in the work force will grow at a rate faster than younger women and almost double that of older men, the bureau said.
Some growth can be attributed to economic travails, but many women say they are making up for lost time after raising children or being shut out of male-dominated jobs in their younger working days. Others can't imagine turning their backs on hard-won career gains.
Rising longevity and the rising average age of baby boomers partly explain the trend. Almost 75 per cent of 55- to 64-year-olds will be working in 2018, compared with 65 per cent in 2008, forecasts Northeastern University economist Barry Bluestone. Likewise, he thinks 30 per cent of Americans age 65 to 74 will be working at that point, up from 25 per cent in 2008.
Some researchers believe something else is at play. Elizabeth Fideler, a research fellow at the Sloan Center on Aging & Work at Boston College and the author of Women Still at Work: Professionals Over Sixty and On the Job, has studied the cohort, and she believes they are making up for slow career starts.
"Many of them faced sex discrimination," she says. These women entered adulthood in the late 1950s and early 1960s, before the women's movement began, when the career choices they faced were narrow and help-wanted ads were segregated by sex.
At that time, most working women were funnelled into nursing, teaching, secretarial jobs or social work. Eventually, many switched to other careers. These were hard-won gains.
"They're damned if they're going to give it up now," says Dr. Fideler. "They've reached the peak of their careers and don't want to stop, even if their husbands have retired."
This was true for Ms. Damour, who graduated college in 1965 with limited career options.
"I remember telling my mother when I was a girl that I wanted to be a judge, and she told me I couldn't do that, because girls aren't lawyers."
She married young, worked in a series of low-paying jobs, had a child and was divorced at age 30. But an active volunteer role in progressive political causes led her into a position in the 1974 Colorado gubernatorial campaign of Dick Lamm. That led indirectly to her first stint at the GSA.
These days, Ms. Damour works 40 to 50 hours a week.
"I don't get tired, because I'm a high-energy person, and I love my work," she says.
Does she envision retiring again – ever?
"I'm going to stay in this job as long as they'll keep me, and then I'll re-evaluate" she says.
Ann Kaganoff, 76, is another late bloomer. The Irvine, Calif., resident began her career as a grade-school teacher. She entered a doctoral program at the University of California at Santa Barbara in reading and language development at age 36.
"My dad said I needed to be a teacher so that I'd always be able to provide for myself," she says. "But in graduate school, I discovered I was a good analytical thinker, and that was exciting."
Dr. Kaganoff's career didn't really start taking off until 1985, when at age 50 she started and ran a clinic for children with reading and learning problems at the University of California at Irvine.
"I was learning new things constantly," she says.
In 1992 the clinic closed, a victim of budget cuts at the university. Today, Dr. Kaganoff feels that she's at the peak of her professional growth with a private therapy practice in Irvine, and she doesn't see herself stepping away any time soon.
"The experiences are so cumulative," she says. "Every time I walk into a meeting, I realize the wealth of background I have to draw upon."
Dr. Fideler fits the profile. She's 70 and already at work on a follow-up book on the second-fastest-growing age group in the labour force: men over age 65.
Older men keep working for the same career achievement and income rewards that motivate women. But perhaps Dr. Fideler will find that men simply grow tired of watching their wives leave for work every morning, and of spending the day by themselves.Report Typo/Error

I bought this foundation because everybody was talking about it., even the youtubers & MUA. I decided to buy this foundation few weeks ago and when it arrive I'm so excited to try it, unfortunately I bought this foundation in the shade Buff Beige which is a lil dark for me. I try to fix it with lighter concealer and it does help a lil bit , but then my face oxidize and my face looks so dark 😭 btw, the foundation itself was quite amazing. It hold the oiliness and the pores (not too much) honestly, idk whether i will repurchase or not 😳

Coverage is medium. I actually received this as a gift, so I can't say much about price. The packaging gets a little messy, especially if, God forbid, tipped over or dopped (the horror!), so that can definitely be improved. The brush applicator is again, messy. The shades are a bit disappointing. I was given the lightest one (ivory) and its still darker than my complexion, so even if I want to, I can't use it.

I am 50 years old and like to use an SPF50+ sunscreen on my face every day. For this reason, I really like powder foundation because I can use my sunscreen as a base/primer and the powder foundation over the top. I have tried probably 20+ powder foundations and I just keep coming back to this. I even prefer this to the Elizabeth Arden powder foundation and that is a little gem!
I recently came back to this. I am not sure why I ever stopped using it to be honest, but I did. Anyway, I purchased this in Classic Ivory. Some powder foundations just look really flat and lifeless (NYX springs to mind here!), but this one has a kind of glowy effect without looking shiny. The brush is completely useless. If you are going to use powder foundation, you need to invest in a decent kabuki brush. Powder brushes don't get enough product onto your skin, so a kabuki is essential. I only swirl the kabuki once and this gives me enough product to do my entire face. I would say that I use about half a teaspoon of powder to get light to medium coverage. After that I use Bare Escentuals "Well Rested" eye as my concealer. What I like about powder foundations is that provided your skin is pretty decent, it is a flawless finish. It is also quick and easy. I have used really expensive powder foundations like Youngblood that just looked terrible and cakey. This one looks like an expensive foundation and is really inexpensive. Currently I am using it over Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Lotion SPF50+ and I couldn't be happier.

Brush is useless. Coverage isn't great. Enhances fine lines, even when primer is used. Ran out of MAC, but will never look for alternatives as it seems the more you pay the better the product. Don't waste your money

One of my more fave powders, I apply my moisturizer (let dry), BB Cream, Foundation and then finally this powder and my face looks flawless.
Con: The brush that comes with it is terrible and sheds all over the first few times you use it or you could just purchase another powder brush like I did and it works a hundred times better.

I have been using this powder for about 2 years now. I have combination skin and I prefer a more natural look for my makeup. This mineral powder has never caused me to break out or get oily. It seems to control any oil quite well. In the summer I will use an oil absorbing powder under it for my forehead. The color matches my skin perfectly. It does a good job of evening out the skin tone in general but isn't great for covering individual dark spots or any major lines or creases in the face. It is priced fairly and lasts a long time. It does stand out on dry skin so be sure to moisturize if your skin is at all flakey. I would recommend anyone with good to decent skin to give it a try.

An insult to the mineral cosmetic genre. This product left my face with an orange cast (What is with Maybelline concealers,foundations and powders and their tendency to oxidize therefore turning a orange tint?) The finish is not flattering,making my complexion look dull and lifeless,which is not what a mineral cosmetic product should do or look like. Glad to see this product has been discontinued in stores.

This powder foundation had been sitting in my makeup drawer untouched for quite awhile.
Pulled it out recently because I wanted a powder that would provide a little coverage to wear over my more sheer foundations. Like it a lot for that purpose. I've been applying it with my Sonia Kashuk Synthetic Buffing Brush. Adds the little extra coverage I've been wanting and I like the finish. Its nice and matte but not dead. It sets my makeup nicely and I think it also controls oil since I don't notice any oil showing through during the day when I'm wearing this. The packaging is fine. Sturdy. A product I would consider repurchasing.

I have dry and pretty sensitive skin. I don't have any major problem areas except redness around the nose and I have a faithful and trusted skin care routine. Even though my skin is dry I was finding all liquid foundation to look gross on my skin. I thought it was a particular kind I was using or perhaps my skin just got even more dry and I required something new.
I was getting bad break outs and so for about 3 weeks I didn't wear any foundation. Someone told me that mineral powder foundation works great because it's not as heavy and has more velvet feel. (Referring to this Maybelline foundation) I decided that after a nice break I gave my skin that I'd buy this. The reviews on here, while some are helpful, proved useless because it's a love or hate product and you just have to try it for yourself.
Firstly, just huck the brush away. It's completely useless and sharp. Ouch!
I applied without primer the first time and I liked the effect. It started very matte. (Classic ivory) buy after a few hours looked like normal even skin. I applied this with my primer and I got a great finish, velvety and even. It stayed this way the entire day. Both applications didn't set in my lines or move around on my face. It didn't oxidize or change color, it just looked nice and natural not emphasizing dryness.
It's not full coverage, although it's build able. I agree with the reviews that say if you have nice skin it's perfect. I really think no one product will work for all so you just have to try it. I was surprised that a very dry skinned girl like myself enjoyed this. I paid $15Cad and I'd pay it again. I don't load this stuff on so it will last me a long time.
The other thing worth mentioning to is that the only other powder I've used is Mac mineralized skin finish natural, applied wet with fix plus. I love it too but actually, this Maybelline foundation for me stayed on better and required no touch up :) so I love this :)

Very Disappointing: Silver Shadow Cruise Review by casalin
Overall Member Rating
Very Disappointing
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Vancouver
Out Veranda Mid-Ship cabin showed strong signs of being "tired". The carpet was dirty with large stains and would have been unacceptable in a third class hotel. Part of the problem is that they have reduced the cabin servicing staff and included a butler that provided no value.
Generally the professional standard of the staff was much lower than in the past. Many staff seemed subdued and some sullen. One crew member confided that the whole crew were sick of going back and forward to Alaska with cruises after cruise and no rest. We also had problems with staff having difficulty with English.
La Terassa restaurant was still good, but now rationed. The Head Waiter in the main dining room lacked any charm and More was very poor compared with the Head Waiters in the past.
On one day dolphins swam with the ship for over 30 minutes, but nearly all the passengers missed this because there was no announcement. Communications generally was poor.
At the end of the cruise we found that we had been billed for three excursions we did not take. The shore excursion staff were terrible and on three separate occasions in effect called us liars by saying they could prove we took the excursions. Eventually they admitted they had made a mistake, but would not say how the mistake had happened and did not apologies. It was obvious that the Reception Staff had no confidence in the unprofessional and incompetent shore excursion staff.
Other than the cruise director the entertainment was very poor. Apparently the entertainers had been on the ship for 6 months and this was their last cruise. They acted as if all they wanted to do was to get off the ship.
Silversea says that it aims to exceed our expectations. On this cruise they fell far short of our expectations based on our previous experience.
As invited to, we wrote at length to the President in Florida outlining both positives and negatives and asking for a response. Now over a month later we have received no acknowledgement or response. Less

Trapping a floor drain
Floor drains are a small PITA, as the trap can dry and let sewer gasses into the house. OK, a quart of water every year or two will fix that. However, is there a code-compliant and intelligent way to trap a floor drain in a more permanent manner? Why not trap the floor drain as is normally done, and then install another trap right below where the trap ties into the building drain? In my case, the floor drains are only a few feet away from the building drain. The worst that could happen this way is that the floor drain trap dries up and you get any odors from the pipes between the floor drain and the next trap up the line. Is this a practical solution? Thanks.
199 Attachment(s)
a code compliant method is to use a trap primer setup. These are installed on all new/remodel floor drains. They can be piped from another fixtures tailpiece, toilet bowl or a special valve connected to the CW piping. I suggest google "trap primer".
Here is a link to a waterless primer system. Never used it but it might be good for an existing floor drain
Eplumber: Thanks very much. I will have to think about how to install a line in concrete and yet get to it for replacement; maybe just running it through a larger ABS pipe and having the drain in a box will suffice. Are you familiar w/ these gizmos? http://www.canplasplumbing.com/plumb...categoryID=867
Or these? http://www.trapguard.com/
The present house, built in '80, has cast iron pipe and covers, so I don't think either of these would work here. The new house will have something more adaptable/adjustable.
Years ago I had a house with a floor drain that never saw any use. It would dry out and smell. An old timer told me to pour a cup of vegetable oil into the drain. It stays on top of the water and prevents it from drying out.
199 Attachment(s)
eplumber: that is what it looked like, but i figured that was too easy and i was missing something. I'll give them another look.
rj; yes, i have heard of the oil trick, and to use mineral oil as it won't turn rancid like veggie oil. i'll try a gallon of 75-90W gear lube. kidding. a quarter cup of veggie oil and wash it out when it gets stinky. the dogs will know it is getting ripe long before i will. thanks for the suggestion.

Completed under the auspices of the New York City Design and Construction Excellence program, the Children's Library Discovery Center is a 22,000-square-foot, two-story addition to the existing Queens Central Library building. The glowing glass façade is a beacon in the surrounding community and is elemental in increasing the library's visibility and reintroducing it as a central cultural and social destination. Situated on a corner, the new addition takes advantage of its exposure to the street, creating a dialogue between the interior and exterior through the use of large transparent windows that allow an abundance of natural light to enter. The perimeter wall has been thickened to incorporate quiet reading nooks and intimate social spaces. The completion of the CLDC marks the realization of the first phase of 1100 Architect's master plan for the renovation and modernization of the 275,000-square-foot Queens Central Library. This project is on track to receive LEED Silver certification.
Tour will be led by David Piscuskas, FAIA, LEED AP; Juergen Riehm, FAIA, BDA; Frank Genese, AIA, Vice President of Queens Library.

There is, as I wrote in the Curry article, no such thing as "curry powder" in the true Indian household. What they do have are masalas, spice blends, which they make from scratch and are used to create the dishes known as curries.
The process is complex: whole spices are toasted and ground then mixed in varied and specific proportions to create these masalas. When making curry dishes, an Indian cook will create a masala and then add it to the meat, rice, pulse or vegetable being cooked along with other flavorings that may include ginger, onion, chiles, cilantro, garlic and other "wet" ingredients. The whole foundation of Indian cooking is based on the use of spices, whole and ground, toasted or raw, added together or separately and mastering their use is a true culinary art.
Certain classic masalas are cooked with so frequently they are often made in batches then added as needed. But spices lose flavor quickly, so even if made in advance, these masalas will still be fixed in small enough batches to be used within a week or so or as long as they maintain their fresh flavor. These masalas will vary from region to region, based on the availability of spices, the climate and the predominant cooking methods.
Garam masala means "hot spice" is exactly the opposite of what it sounds like. It is used in the colder northern areas and has no chiles in it, as these cause perspiration which in effect chills the body. Instead, it contains warming spices like cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, cloves and black pepper—spices that would be at home in any good winter stew. Goda masala, made in the tropical area near Bombay, uses coconut, sesame seeds, and white poppy seeds in its blend, among other ingredients. And in South India, Sambar masala features red chiles and mustard seeds in its spicy, perspiration-causing mix.
1. In a heavy, dry skillet, toast separately the coriander, caraway, cardamom and cumin seeds, each for a few seconds, until aromatic. It is best to toast each ingredient separately, as they release their oils at different cooking times.
2. Mix all ingredients together and grind in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder. Strain through a fine sieve to remove large pieces. Store in an airtight container. If desired, freeze the mixture to retain freshness.

22/8/2013 - The Current Market Sentiment
After last week release of US jobless claim raised the expectations of having tapering of the Fed's QE next month, yesterday minutes of the last Fed's meeting have brought back the dependency on the economic improvement as it has left the door opened for everything.
So, the focusing is expected to be back on the economic indicators and specially the unemployment data with the next release of US weekly jobless claims and August labor report after July report which came with fewer than expected added jobs out of the farming sector by adding 162k while the market was waiting for adding 184k to dampen the optimism which resulted from the substantial progress of US ISM manufacturing index of July which rose to the highest level since April 2011 to 55.4 from 50.9 in June after falling into the contraction area in May by coming at 49.
From another side, we have seen in August rising of US yearly consumer price index to 2% y/y which is the highest since last Feb showing another growing pressure on the Fed to reduce its 85$b monthly buying of QE as the fed's yearly target is 2% and it has repeated in its recent statements that it is to be tolerant watching this rate to grow 0.5% above this yearly target before start cutting this cheap money monthly pumping.
The greenback has found strength across the broad after these minutes which have shown no rush to cutting the Fed's stimulating plan giving higher probability to the market of keeping the QE as it is in September too by God's will.
The single currency has eased back to 1.3330 and the cable is still retreating to1.56 area during the Asian session while the greenback is trying to find away to 98 versus the Japanese yen despite the losses of the equities markets in US and Japan which usually dampen the demand for it.
The gold has managed to test back the area of 1350s$ as a supporting zone again after failing to have a place over1380$ several times this week with no clues yet from Jackson hole to direct the market which is preparing to look into the next economic data to come out from US by God's will.
So, God willing the market sentiment is expected to be contained today by the release of US initial weekly jobless claim which has fallen to 320k last week and further falling can trigger more prospects of having a cut of QE in US next month while the single currency is waiting for the release of the preliminary figures of EU PMI of the manufacturing sector and service sector of August.
By god's will, The single currency can meet now its way of easing versus the greenback a supporting area between 1.3322 and 1.331 which could hold since last week and breaking it can be followed by meeting a lower support at 1.3205 before 1.3064 and its breaking can lead to 1.2992 again while rising again from here can be met by a resistance at 1.3451 which the highest recorded level this week and since it has started to rose from its recent bottom which has been formed at 1.2754 on 9th of last July while getting over 1.3451 is expected to open the door for meeting higher resisting levels at 1.3515, 1.3595 before 1.3709 which is the top of this year until now and it has been reached in the beginning of last February.

Feb. 20, 2013
Site: Minneapolis, Minn. (University of Minnesota Aquatic Center)
Event: Big Ten Championships (Day 1 of 4)
U-M Team Standing: T4th Place of 12 Teams (56 points) after Day 1
Next U-M Event: Thu-Sat., Feb. 21-23 -- at Big Ten Championships (Minneapolis, Minn.), 6:30 p.m./11 a.m. CST
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- The No. 21-ranked University of Michigan women's swimming and diving team sits in a tie for fourth place at the Big Ten Championships in large part because of a third-place finish in the 200-yard medley relay, the opening event of the competition today (Wednesday, Feb. 20) at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center.
The relay team set a new school record of 1:37.84, an NCAA 'A' time. That means the team of freshman Ali DeLoof (Grosse Pointe, Mich./Grosse Pointe South), junior Angela Chokran (South Elgin, Ill./St. Charles North), senior Ashley Cohagen (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer), and senior Deirdre Jones (Nashville, Tenn./University School of Nashville) are automatically qualified to race again at the NCAA Championships next month.
The 200-yard medley relay time bests the previous school record by .51 seconds and was less than a second off the first-place time of Minnesota. Michigan's third-place finish netted the Maize and Blue 32 points, more than the team earned during Day 1 of the Big Ten Championships last season (26).
In the second race of the night, the 800-yard freestyle relay, Michigan took seventh place. The team of senior Adrienne Bicek (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove North), freshman Marni Oldershaw (Oakville, Ontario/Iroquios Ridge), junior Courtney Beidler (Richboro, Pa./Council Rock South), and senior Kally Fayhee (North Aurora, Ill./Rosary) finished in 7:14.49. That time was nearly three seconds faster than Michigan swam this event all season; the previous fastest was 7:17.25 recorded at the Hawkeye Invitational (Nov. 30, 2012). The mark of 7:14.49 is the ninth fastest in school history.
Five events are scheduled for Thursday (Feb. 21): the 500-yard freestyle, the 200-yard individual medley, the 50-yard freestyle, one-meter diving and the 200-yard freestyle relay. Preliminaries are scheduled for 11 a.m. CST and finals for 6:30 p.m. CST inside the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center.
Team Standings (After Day One)
1. Minnesota 74 Indiana 74 3. Penn State 58 4. MICHIGAN 56 Ohio State 56 6. Wisconsin 54 7. Purdue 50 8. Nebraska 42 9. Northwestern 36 Iowa 36 11. Illinois 22 Michigan State 22
Event Winners/U-M Finishers (Day One)
200-yard Medley Relay 1. Minnesota 1:36.89* 3. MICHIGAN 1:37.84* (Ali DeLoof, Ashley Cohagen, Angela Chokran, Deirdre Jones) 800-yard Freestyle Relay 1. Indiana 6:59.48*!& 7. Michigan 7:14.49 (Adrienne Bicek, Marni Oldershaw, Courtney Beidler, Kally Fayhee) * NCAA automatic-qualifying time ! Big Ten record & Big Ten Championships record
Angela Chokran was part of the previous school record in the 200-yard medley relay. She set it in 2011 along with Mattie Kukors, Caitlin Dauw, and Natasha Moodie.
Adrienne Bicek and Kally Fayee are part of two 800-yard freestyle relay teams with top-10 school times. Their 2012 team along with Kristyne Cole and Liz Koselka have the eighth best time (7:13.50).
Michigan Head Coach Mike Bottom
On the first race of the championships ... "How exciting to begin with a school record and an NCAA cut with two seniors on that relay team. Everybody was excited to get third in the event and then people started looking at the time, and we realized it was a school record. And to start with a NCAA A cut is great -- the relay was really, really strong."
On the next step in the championships ... "We had a great night, to be in fourth place at the end of the night. Tomorrow (Thursday) is when the work begins, and we'll work in the prelims during the morning to get into the final two heats in the evening. That's what we need to keep scoring points."

A consumer watchdog is investigating reports of washing machines exploding, with glass doors shattering, sending shards flying.
Website Whitegoodshelp received 50 horror stories from families, ranging from glass panels shattering to exploding doors on switched-off machines.
Its expert Andy Trigg explained: "The faster spinning washing machines appear to be the problem, many spin too fast for their quality of build."
Which? said: "We're collating all the information to see if we need to carry out new lab tests."
Horrified Tracey Storey told the site: "My Hotpoint washer blew up. My 15-month-old baby and I and my husband stood in front of it, it was like a bomb."
Joanne said: "Bought a Beko two months ago and 20 minutes ago the glass shattered. It sent shards all over and the clothes inside are covered in sharp pieces."
An anonymous poster wrote: "My Miele W3740 door suddenly exploded, shedding shattered glass and water around the room."
Miele said it had carried out its own investigation but found there were no problems with its glass doors.
"However, should such isolated incidents exist then we would ask our customers to contact us and we will investigate fully," it added.
Beko said: "While we have no reason to believe there is a fault with our range, we are investigating these incidents in full and always take such matters seriously."
Exploding doors were "rare", said Hotpoint, adding it would investigate fully if a pattern of "recurring incidents" was reported.

3 Injured In Pender Released
A spokeswoman for Pender Community Hospital says three people injured by a tornado have been treated and released, but none were from Pilger.
Spokeswoman Melissa Kelly said the hospital received three patients with minor injuries on Monday. All three were allowed to leave later that evening.
Kelly says the patients all lived in rural areas west of Pender. She says the hospital was placed on standby Monday to receive as many as 12 tornado victims, but no others were brought in for medical care.
Pender Community Hospital was one of three hospitals that saw tornado victims Monday night. The others were Providence Medical Center in Wayne, which treated three patients, Faith Regional Health Services in Norfolk, which was treating 16. One was transferred to an Omaha hospital.

There definitely is some good news about the system of justice in the land of China. Let me highlight the strong points of Chinese justice:
1. There are courts in China.
2. There are judges in China.
3. There is a prosecutor in the court room.
4. There is a defense attorney, sometimes, in the court room.
5. There is a person known as the "defendant."
6. There will be a trial.
7. There will be a decision made as a result of the trial.
Now, the other side:
1. Last year in China there were one million, six hundred thousand cases that were heard. Of these cases, in 199.9% of the verdicts it was GUILTY AS CHARGED.
2. Only in 825 cases was the defendant found to be INNOCENT.
Let me emphasize that in China the duty of the court system is that the rights of the defendant are always paramount. It is crucial to prevent a defendant from going home to his sordid apartment when he can get three meals a day and a place to sleep and pay-NOTHING.
