Hallmark: Make Mother's Day and Father's Day cards for same-sex parents
My family is just like any other family. So why won't Hallmark make greeting cards wishing both my moms a "Happy Mothers Day?"
I will never forget the first year I gave my second mom, Liz, a Mother's Day card. She was so touched that she began to cry. I told her that even though she wasn't my birth mother, she'd always be my mom and that I loved her.
My moms have been together for eight years now and I am still amazed at the love they have for each other, for my siblings, and for me. They support me unconditionally and I would like to be able to give them a card that shows my appreciation for what they both have done for me and for my family. A card that reflects their unconditional love for each other.
That's why I'm asking Hallmark to make greeting cards for families with same-sex parents.
A few years ago, Hallmark led the industry by releasing wedding cards for same-sex couples. As the largest manufacturer of greeting cards in the United States, Hallmark has the opportunity to lead the industry again by providing cards that reflect the lives of all families.
Having two moms or two dads doesn't make a family any less loving or special. We laugh together. We cry together. And we celebrate together. I know it would mean so much to my moms -- and moms like mine all over America -- if Hallmark made cards celebrating families like ours.
Please join me in asking Hallmark to make Mother's Day and Father's Day cards for same-sex parents.

U.S. fundraising mittens made in China
The outside of the mittens says "Go USA." The insides says "Made in China."
Less than two years after being criticized for having the U.S. Olympic team's uniforms made in China, the U.S. Olympic Committee has another wardrobe malfunction on its hands.
The red-white-and-blue mittens it's selling to raise funds for winter athletes were produced in China.
It says so right on the tag on the inside.
The USOC is charging $14 a pair for the blue gloves that have the word "Go" embroidered in red on the left mitten and "USA" on the right. Also part of that left mitten is the tag, which says the gloves are "100% acrylic," "One Size Fits Most" and "Made in China."
USOC spokesman Patrick Sandusky said the "official" mittens being worn by the athletes at the opening ceremony are made in America. They're also available to the public for $98 a pair on the Ralph Lauren website.
But the federation was going for a lower price point for its fundraiser. With the games more than a month away, it has raised $500,000 from the mitten sales.
"We wanted to create a fundraising opportunity where almost anyone could support Team USA," Sandusky said.
The USOC has tried to be extra careful about where its goods are manufactured since running into trouble when news broke that its 2012 team uniforms were produced in China. Congressmen from both parties piled onto the PR gaffe, with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., saying, "I think they should take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile and burn them, and start all over again."

A Tribune editorial encouraged us to use compassion and support a pathway to legal status and eventual citizenship for illegal immigrants. ("Try compassion: Immigration issue is about people," Our View, Feb. 11). Compassion is wonderful, but we also need to make good decisions.
Many think that comprehensive immigration reform will only encourage even more illegal immigration, and that it's unfair to immigrants who came here legally.
Considering the 11 million illegal immigrants residing in our country it's obvious that as long as employers hire people here unlawfully, they will keep coming. Not fences, unenforced immigration laws or even comprehensive immigration laws will stop the flow.
Unfortunately, there seems to be little to no will to stop employers from breaking the law. E-Verify is a simple Internet program that informs an employer whether a job applicant may work here legally. Congress has never made E-Verify mandatory, and Utah's E-Verify law only applies to public employers and private employers with more than 15 employees.
Even if E-Verify were mandatory, would it be enforced any better than past laws? Without good, permanent solutions, we will just be doing this again.

Mustache Brass Pendant
Small Etched Brass Pendant Necklace -
A funny mustache has been acid etched into brass sheet to create this bold and unique pendant. The moustache art was carefully etched by our friend and collaborator, rubygirl, using my original drawing. A dark patina was applied to the graphic lines and the brass was burnished to a soft shine for a sharp contrast. A light layer of lacquer was applied to protect the finish. Round pendants are approximately 1 inch across and hang from an 18 inch long sterling silver chain, which has been oxidized with a black antiqued finish. There may be some slight variation, since each is made completely by hand.
- Brass Pendant Size: approx. 1" in diameter (this is small!)
- Oxidized Sterling Silver Chain: 18" long, hangs just longer than a standard choker length
- All pieces have been worked by local professional metalsmith, rubygirl
- Packed carefully in a small gift box
- Insured against loss & damages

AMHERST, MA - Amherst College men's golfer Justin Sharaf (Danvers, MA) was named a 2004 Cleveland Golf Division III All-America Scholar by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) on Tuesday. Sharaf, a junior captain, was one of only three men's golfers from the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) to earn All-America Scholar honors, along with Hamilton College's Brian Williams and Thomas Ferrero.
A two-time PING/GCAA All-Northeast Region selection, Sharaf was Amherst's top finisher in three tournaments this spring and posted his first collegiate win at the Skidmore College Palamountain Invitational, besting an 89-player field that included a trio of PING/GCAA Pre-NCAA Tournament All-Americas with a two-day total of 73-76-149. He also earned Second-Team All-NESCAC honors for the second consecutive season with a 13th-place individual showing at the NESCAC Championship Tournament, hosted by Williams College during the fall, and was a NESCAC All-Academic selection.
Division III All-America Scholars must be juniors or seniors with at least two years at the collegiate level, a stroke average under 79.0 and a minimum grade-point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.

Continued: ESRI
Additional monies from the S.C. Geological Survey, the university and the University of Illinois put the total funding for the project at about $6 million, he said.
The DOE's grants also include projects in Michigan, Illinois, Colorado, Texas, California, Alabama, Kansas, Utah and Wyoming. Researchers will evaluate each site for its potential to store CO2, provide geological data that will be added to a public database and participate in technical working groups to determine the selection of storage sites.
Carolina's researchers will focus on three rural areas of the Lowcountry, just above the SGR, including one with a wildcat well drilled years ago in a search for oil and gas. Studies of that well and other data have given researchers a glimpse of the geologic formations in the area, Shafer said.
"Based on what we've seen, we believe that this could be a viable area for the storage of CO2," Shafer said. "We already have a good idea of what we will find."
The university is not involved in the technology involved in carbon capture.
"This is a process called carbon capture and storage, or CCS," he said. "Other researchers are involved in this work. We are focusing strictly on the geologic properties below the earth where we can store CO2. "

Letterman's Sarah Palin Debate Recap
11 Comments
What's worse, a lack of experience at the V.P. spot, or a lack of experience on the top of the ticket? Just keep glazing over that one, liberals. That's fantastic logic. Keep plugging away at her.
The other night Letterman was taunting Anne Hathaway about her 'former boyfriend'; he kept plugging away at the embezzlement etc – and she showed class, good humor and patience (something Letterman sorely lacks these days).
Its not the lack of experience everyone is talking about, it's a lack of KNOWLEDGE. Obama/Biden know whats happening and the right path to take. McCain wants to continue down the same failing road while Sarah Palin just doesn't understand the issues yet. Not her fault, she was thrust into this. She's a good and smart person, but just not ready for the job she's going for.
You Betcha –
The former. But let's be realistic – Obama appears to comprehend the issues, has been groomed for the position for (a mere 4 ) years…while Palin is just playing Marge Gunderson every week.
Palin's lovely, seems sincere, but her being tapped for VP borders on insulting, certainly in the pantheon of VP selections. Case in point? Hiding from interviews after her selection – and her current slate of NO interviews with a month to play. Speaks volumes.
Sadly, Dave just makes himself look like an intemperate, abusive sexist Ass…
Cher was right.
Yes, youbetcha, Gary put it perfectly!
Obama may "lack" some supposed clear-cut set of experiences everyone keeps hammering on. He surely has a comparable equivalent to Ms. Palin when it comes to terms of elected office. But while she was busy transferring from one college to another,competing in beauty pageants and pursuing fame as a broadcast journalist, Obama was busy cultivating a top tier education in international relations and Constitutional law and working on the ground in diverse communities, all as a capstone to a life spent gaining perspective on the world beyond our own borders.
You can nitpick governmental resumes all you want. But face it, when it comes to "worldview" and knowledge and vision on the issues, she's as shallow as a puddle where he is as deep as the ocean.
? What's sexist about that? So if someone criticizes a woman, it's sexist? That's a pathetic view. He never said nor implied that she is a bad choice because of her gender. Women aren't that delicate that they can't take a little criticism, and to think that they are is … sexist.
There's a difference between experience and qualifications – all this thing is qualified to do is throw mud. Go back to Alaska and obscurity you pox.
It still amazes me how relevant P.T. Barnum is today. Obama has taken his 'there's a sucker born every minute' mantra and repackaged it as 'there's a sucker born every SECOND'. Man, when are you guys going to see through the b.s. coming out of his mouth.
Give it up. If I didn't cre about this country I'd want him to get elected just t see the destruction he'd inflict on America. Unfortunately that'd hurt me and his disciples would blame it all on Bush and Republicans anyways (blind idiots).
Will Letterman be making some under age sexual jokes about Obama's kids the same way he did about Sarah's daughter, Willow while they were taking in a Yankee's game? I think not… his show would be canceled before you can spend 2 trillion dollars which happens pretty quickly these days. It is disgusting to to make children a butt of a (really bad) joke, let alone a sexual one, but does any liberal out there see the double standard here? Give me a break!
They are both wrong. SHUT UP! She is doing everything to get attention and he should shut up about peoples kids. Even if he was talking about the 18 year old. Why make fun of someone for getting knocked up. So dumb but then again, he makes jokes for a living, duh! This is getting much more attention than it deserves, on both ends.

I'm comfortable in my own skin and enjoy my own company.
I actually like my job :)
I like to go on adventures, but I don't get to enough. I guess I'm looking for someone to join me on my adventures.
I'm fairly laid back (although everyone probably says that)
I'm passionate about lots of stupid things and some important things.
I'm pretty book smart, but occasionally lapse on the common sense side of things.
I'm told I'm funny (although not sure if people are laughing with or at me :P) and tend not to take myself or life too seriously.
My interests are mainly reading, writing, listening to music, language learning and knitting. I also love swimming in the sea and in rivers, I don't really get to in Doncaster, but it was great fun when I lived in Scotland.
Advance Wars?
Remembering things
I also love a good T.V series, like Arrested Development, Archer, pretty much any Sci-fi show, love a bit of X Files!Peepshow!! The Inbetweeners, Garth Merenghi's Darkplace, the Walking Dead I guess (but the graphic novel is much better!) and documentaries, like the early 2000s show Walking With Dinosaurs.
Music wise I will always be into my rock and metal at heart, although the heaviness of it depends on my mood. I also like other stuff, in fact my music taste is only expanding and getting odder with age I guess. For me it'll be Bob Dylan, Counting Crows, The Cure, R.E.M and Patrick Wolf one day and Maiden, In Flames and Lamb of God the next.

Brazil's `Michael Corleone' Accused in Spiraling Sleaze ScandalDominic Phillips
Cachoeira -- a businessman known in the international press as "Charlie Waterfall" -- has been in prison since March, accused of running illegal gambling operations and other offenses. (He denies the charges.)
But police say phone conversations recorded during the gambling investigation revealed suspicious links between Cachoeira and members of Congress from numerous political parties, high-ranking officials, state governors and the construction company Delta Construcoes S/A, which since 2007 has won more government contracts than any other.
Cachoeira's political gopher, police charge, was an opposition senator named Demostenes Torres, previously known for his anti-corruption stance. Brazil's prosecutor general alleges that Torres received about $1.7 million from Cachoeira's group for political favors -- including interfering with regulators and investigators on Cachoeira's behalf, and giving protection to his gambling business. (Torres also denies all charges.)
The police also allege that Delta Construcoes worked with Cachoeira's group to get government contracts, and that both Cachoeira and Torres were silent partners in the company. Delta owner Fernando Cavendish has stepped aside temporarily as chief executive, and the company has pulled out of two high-profile contracts in Rio: the renovation of Maracana stadium, where the 2014 World Cup final will be held, and a key highway project. Delta has denied involvement in the scandal and promised to cooperate with investigators.
A parliamentary inquiry commission (known as a CPI) is investigating the case.
A blog by Wellington Froes, a legal academic and columnist in Goias state, where Cachoeira based his operations, illustrated the feelings of many when he published a cartoon in which a small boy asks his father: "Who runs this country?" His father doesn't look up from his newspaper. "A guy named Carlinhos Cachoeira," he replies.
Letacio Jansen, a former Rio de Janeiro state prosecutor, described Cachoeira on his blog as "Our Michael Corleone." He wrote:
Carlinhos Cachoeira was born, according to newspapers, in a family of bookies … When he became a bingo businessman and, on the other side, the owner of legal companies (in the pharmaceuticals industry, among others) he demonstrated his intention, at first, to disengage himself from the family tradition, like Al Pacino's famous character in the Coppola film. His mistake was wanting to do politics.
Many were quick to score political points from the episode. Former Rio de Janeiro state Governor Anthony Garotinho published photos on his blog of Cavendish consorting with the state's current governor, Sergio Cabral, and other officials at a party in Paris in 2009.
In a column for the O Globo newspaper, Ricardo Noblat reproduced the photos and noted that Delta had gained about $775 million in state contracts under Cabral's government:
Some of the contracts were given to Delta without the company even putting in bids. Delta does work in all states -- but none did so well as Rio.
Guilherme Fiuza, in a scathing column for Epoca magazine, linked "Cachoeira Gate'' to the "Mensalao" case in 2005, in which lawmakers were allegedly given monthly payments by the ruling party to vote for favored legislation. That scandal almost brought down the government of former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. (Lula has consistently denied the charges; the Supreme Court is scheduled to rule on the case this year.)
Fiuza took aim at Marcio Thomaz Bastos, a former justice minister in Lula's government who is now Cachoeira's lawyer:
This route was opened precisely by the government in which Thomaz Bastos served … Compared to the monthly allowance scheme for deputies, which became known as the 'Mensalao,' the internal organization of Cachoeira is a child's toy. The good news for the market of buying and selling legislators is that, seven years after the Mensalao, nobody was punished.
The Estado de Sao Paulo also saw parallels:
Brazil already lost, in the Mensalao scandal in 2005, an excellent opportunity to go deep in the fight against corruption in public life. The deliberate omission and complicity of government officials and politicians, including the opposition, allowed the main culprits of the scandal to come out unscathed -- except those who are still at risk of being condemned by the Supreme Court -- and even strengthened their polls to the point that they felt confident in defining the episode as a `farce.'
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently said Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff had created a "global standard" in transparency and the fight against corruption. But former President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, in an interview in Folha, argued that both corruption and transparency had increased under Rousseff:
"With Brazil's enormous capitalism and extensive government interference, there are a lot more business opportunities."
In other words: more money, more systematic sleaze. Cardoso might have added that Corleone-like corruption is as deeply rooted in Brazilian political and business life as samba and soccer are in its social life. Corrupt businessmen can only expand their influence with bribes as long as there are officials willing to accept them.

Adam Lambert, 'Never Close Our Eyes' – Song Review
Adam Lambert wants to live life to the fullest on 'Never Close Our Eyes,' the latest release from his forthcoming 'Trespassing' album.
The song is all about enjoying your time with a special someone, since you never know how much time you'll have. The lyrical theme is established right away with a slowed-down version of the hook, "I wish that this night would never be over / There's plenty of time to sleep when we die / So let's just stay awake until we grow older / If I had my way we'd never close our eyes."
'Never Close Our Eyes' feels like an Adam Lambert song, but it also reflects the talents of his collaborators, Bruno Mars and Dr. Luke, who wrote and produced it. The track features a hint of Luke's up-tempo dance sound while retaining Mars' melodic pop sensibility. The pulsing beat and hand claps give way to an acoustic guitar during quieter portions of the song, while Lambert pushes into the upper reaches of his vocal range throughout the track.
The glam rocker continues, "I don't wanna let a minute get away cause we got no time to lose / None of us are promised to see tomorrow and what we do is ours to choose / Forget about the sunrise, fight the sleep in your eyes / I don't wanna miss a second with you."
'Never Close Our Eyes' will be available on iTunes on Apr. 17, while 'Trespassing' is now officially set for May 15.

Re: Seiko Quartz Watch Day of the Week Wheel (By: Stephen Ray)
Typically, these day/date watches have a re-set function for the day and for the date. This is often done by pulling the crown out half way to the re-set position. Turning the crown one way changes the numeral, and turning it the other way changes the day. Be sure your watch is set so that the calendar is changing at midnight. It may or may not be critiacal, but I would recommend setting the calendar during the day rather than right at midnight as at that time the calendar change mechanism is likely engaged. To set the day to the correct language, pull the crown out a bit to the calendar set position and set the calendar day to the correct day in the language of your choice. As the calendar day advances after midnight, the other two languages may show (unless your calendar is an "instant change" type), but by the next day it will be correct.

Re: Seiko Quartz Watch Day of the Week Wheel (By: Stephen Ray)
Thanks Doug
That worked! Now I just have to figure out how to get the back off the watch again. I had it off when I replaced the movement but I must have got it on really solid because I can't budge it now. I have a really cheap case knife that isn't the best.

Students organize and execute weekend Collegiate Kiteboarding Association event
Published Dec. 03, 2008
Water-loving wind riders and Lynn students in hospitality professor Chad Barr's 300 level sports event management class have been raising funds, recruiting sponsors and taking all the steps necessary to execute a successful "Best of the Best Kiteboarding Event" this weekend in conjunction with the Collegiate Kiteboarding Association (CKA). This event is the third stop on the CKA tour and will take place Saturday, Dec. 6 and Sunday, Dec. 7 from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. each day south of Atlantic Avenue and just north of Casuarina Road in Delray Beach.
"Kiteboarding is the fastest growing extreme sport," noted Barr, a professor in Lynn's College of Hospitality Management, faculty advisor for Lynn's Kiteboarding Club and a kiteboarder himself. "The students have been working hard to make sure the event runs smoothly," said Barr. "At the beginning of this semester, the class met with Delray Beach's City Council to get the event approved. After that, we have been working around the clock securing sponsors, hiring a D.J., organizing the fashion show and distributing marketing materials. I don't think the students realized how much work goes into an event like this."
The weekend event will have approximately 10 vendor booths including local representatives from Best Kiteboarding and Sky Banditz displaying equipment and offering lessons. Free kiteboarding lessons from local certified schools will be offered throughout the day for both beginner and advanced riders. "As many as 7 kites should be in the water at once," said Barr.
Other activities include the kiteboarding industry's first-ever "Team Relay." In this timed relay race teams of four members will share the same kite and board by taking turns navigating the course. There will be a designated staging area on the beach where riders will pass the kite and board to their teammate. Although the exact time for the relay depends on the weather and wind, Lynn's team plans to ride between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Every two hours, shuttles will take riders 8 miles against the wind, allowing them a smooth "Downwind Dash" to their original location. There is a one-time $25 fee for all CKA rides which allows them to compete in the Freestyle, Wave, Kiteloop, and Strapless sessions. Prizes and points will be awarded to riders and teams. For more information and to register, visit www.wekite.com.
Lynn's Kiteboarding Club, that was formed last year, has approximately 15 members, 5 of who are skilled enough to compete. "The club's goal is to provide students with new opportunities, to educate them about the sport, and to create a sense of community within the subculture of our student population that enjoys exciting and new non-traditional sports," said Barr.

VMware's President and COO Carl Eschenbach is leaving the company to pursue a career in venture capital, marking a second high-ranking executive to leave VMware in as many weeks for the startup funding world.
Since 2002 Eschenbach has held various sales positions at VMware and became president in 2012, overseeing the company's $6 billion sales, channel, and marketing strategy. In recent years Eschenbach has become a public face of VMware, headlining VMWorld keynotes along with CEO Pat Gelsinger; he's generally been recently viewed as the No. 2 executive at the company behind Gelsinger.
Eschenbach will join Silicon Valley venture capital firm Sequoia Capital as a partner. Fortune first reported the news.
His departure comes amid a broader shakeup at VMware. The company's parent firm, EMC, is being bought by Dell. In an interview last week Gelsinger played down the impact the merger would have on VMware's operations. But Eschenbach's departure comes just a week after VMware's Senior Vice President and General Manager for Networking and Security Martin Casado announced that he would be leaving the company to pursue a career at the VC firm Andreessen Horowitz.

Eschenbach and Casado will remain advisers to VMware. The company announced that Maurizo Carli, who has been with the firm since 2008, has been promoted to executive vice president of worldwide sales; CTO Ray O'Farrell has added executive vice president to his title and Executive Vice President Sanjay Poonen, who heads up the company's end-user computing division, will now lead its worldwide marketing and communications teams.

I think that it might be neat to look into mechanical movement of the parts that would be fixed if you create a device like the others listed. It could controlled by an arduino, done both to see if you can do it with permanent magnets and also be neat to see if you could manipulate them when the device(s) is in a fixed position or maybe while it's moving too. I'm pretty sure that magnetic control of that type might be useful in some way, whether it be in a machining or production process or in robotics.Ā

I'm thinking that it might be neat to create something to manage a plastic extruder, radiate heat into the air rather than relying on a heat sink in equipment that has to cope with heat exchange from an element connected to the body of the equipment or another piece of equipment but relies upon an arm that is susceptible to heat. It might be that you can do something with this in a makerbot.

Or maybe some kind of control mechanism for mechanical movement. What comes to mind when I think of magnetic controlled movement is the magnets that create a friction increase and decrease effect that makes my recumbent exercise bicycle harder and easier to pedal based upon a controller on the bike that controls the distance of magnets from disk that spins when a user pedals on it.

It might be also that a novel application for ball bearings could be developed from it. In fact, I'd hazard to guess that somewhere it already has.

Also...Ā

I figured you'd like this and so would the fellow who mentioned diamagnetic effect in materials. From what I gather, diamagnetic effects allow levitation at room temperature. This is a google docs viewed .doc document on the principles of Maglev trains and mentions some interesting facts like that a poweful magnetic field of about 16 tesla must be used to levitate water drops and some living creatures. Is this what you had in mind more than playing with magnets to make legos with metal or magnets attached hover? I find it more fascinating, myself. :)

http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:GbTynSTQBsYJ:www.digitaledition.org/adveng/AE0201/AE0201_019-028.pdf+microcontroller+superconductor+magnetic+levitation&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEEShTL3H3MZ1rOQwQWbSUqdmoJ-93kJgkAv-x5AwoxFBlftWrQ2vc7Z5o60qaFBCv5gFxIpONJn5GQ67pkby5q9L38qqZvG0TGDVgZowRwlaaIZclRPVeEd4nsczIn4vKmm3Xb0HK&sig=AHIEtbQ3ftpKeYq7roWquB75be_cFsgSUA

Ā

I also found these two pages interesting:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

&

http://www.fys.uio.no/super/levitation/

Though this second link may seem rather simplistic, have a gander at the pages linked on this page. I feel both a newbie and vetted hacker who's studied magnetic levitation and superconductors can gain something from this, at the very least having some decent MagLev bookmarks to share with others. =)

Anyhow, I hope that this has helped you or helped others with some additional resources in some small way.

I have a friend who goes to Noisebridge from time to time (Travis, if anyone knows him) who suggested that I join this list (I live in San Antonio, TX) because you folks bring up topics that I'd be interested in and low and behold, from both the archive and live list, he was right. I hope i can join in and add my two cents, research skills or experiences often and I spend a great deal of time using the 'net and checking my e-mail as I work at home. =)

Best Regards,

Thomas Stowe

Beauty Trends To Watch: Burgundy Shadow Works On And Off The Runway
So we've covered both the top trends to watch this fall and the five must-haves you need to get them, but there's one particular look that's been safely concealed beneath the radar until now. Burgundy eyeshadow — or, well, any eyeshadow with warm reddish tones — doesn't exactly sound like the most flattering of colors, but you'd be pleasantly surprised by how wearable the vampy shade becomes when applied sheer and smoky like a haze around the eye.
Smudged on with fingertips, aubergine shadow imparts all the drama of fall's bordeaux lipstick without the potential mess or maintenance, and it's equally effective in matte and shimmer formulas so long as one uses a light hand. Go full-on broody for night with a blood red lip, like Kristen Stewart on the October cover of Vogue UK, or keep it clean with an otherwise (relatively) bare face. It's especially striking on those with blue or green eyes, but it provides lovely complement and contrast to hazel and brown eyes, too. Just one thing — skip mascara to make the most of this sultry look, but do take full advantage of your eyelash curler.
GET THE LOOK (from left to right)
- Clé de Peau Beauté Satin Eye Color in 116, $45: What this formula lacks (really lacks) in affordability, it all but makes up for in sumptuousness. The light-reflecting velvet finish is more subtle than shimmer and smokes out beautifully for just the kind of soft, hazy look you're going for.
- Kat Von D Shape Shifter Eyeshadow in Love Letter, $16: The Kat Von D name alone could put me off almost any product… except this one. A unique water-activated duochrome effect means that the shade shifts depending on the lighting and angle.
- Stila Eye Shadow in Poise, $18: You really can't go wrong with one of Stila's classic shadows — soft, creamy, and easy to blend, a tiny bit goes a long way with this formula.

At the Metropolitan Museum of Art
The alibi for the trip to New York was a visit to the Metropolitan Museum. The husband is part of a team organising a Syria exhibition at the Royal Academy and wanted to look out some early Christian Syrian material and talk to the curators who might lend it (interestingly -- or horrifyingly -- it turns out that a Syrian exhibition would not be possible in the USA, as Bush's legislation about not dealing with terrorist states extends to cultural objects and projects). We also wanted to "do" the new Roman galleries in detail.
Let me say to start with that there is some fabulous stuff in these galleries -- and interestingly different from what you find in European collections. There are no big bits of 'state art' in New York... it's by and large smaller in scale, but almost everything would provide the subject for a whole lecture. It also shows the necessity of actually SEEING the the things you write about.The bronze image of the goddess Cybele pulled by lions in her chariot is often illustrated in books on Roman religion (including my own). I had never realised before that it was part of some water feature, with the lions' mouths acting as spouts. That makes it something rather different from the cult object it is usually assumed to be.
So the whole visit was tremendously worthwhile. In particular the glass, like this gorgeous blue piece -- which I suspect, if one saw it in an antique shop, one would never guess was Roman. Eighteenth-century perhaps?
It made me think that if I was starting my research career all over again, I'd seriously consider going into ancient glassware.
But despite the tremendous riches, there were some problems. Notably some of the labels and information panels. Now, I know from experience that writing museum labels is much harder than people imagine -- and it is too easy to carp.
But the Met didn't come out very well.
For a start, they were terribly reticent about provenance. I don't honestly think that that is because they have had trouble with provenance in the past. I suspect that they simply don't think it matters very much. But sometimes not knowing where something comes from means you simply can't understand it.
Take this copy of the famous Eleusis relief still in Greece. They say it is Augustan Roman (in fact as the husband observed, their default position in Roman art seems to be that things are Augustan...a kind of legacy of Paul Zanker and another contrast with the BM where the default position is that the stuff is Hadrianic). But where does it come from? I mean it makes a difference if it was found in Greece ot Italy, Rome or Baiae, temple or garden...
Not a word. In fact I managed to track down an old article by Gisela Richter, which suggested a findspot in Rome (but not firmly tied into any particular monument). Why couldnt we have been told.
But there were other sins of commission rather than omission. The information panel on "oriental cults" came out with stuff that noone has seriously thought for 50 years or so ("Unlike the state religion with its formal rituals and festivals, oriental cults <no inverted commas!> made a direct appeal to the individual, allowing him or her to enjoy life to the fullest in this world, and promising a better one in the next" -- wrong on almost everything.)
And there were other very strange bits of text. The case labelled "Realism in Hellenistic Art" contained pieces that were anything but "realistic". And the label for one lovely silver cup with Dionysiac scenes insisted that the figures had "little if any real symbolism". There's a problem with the word "real" around here.
Don't let me put you off visiting. It's a tremendous display. And I'm sure that I've written some dumb labels in my time. But some of the Met's do hit a low point!

And PBS knows your are using 1 out of 2 CPUs only. That's what I'am guessing. PBS doesn't know anything about the Maui configuration. So don't worry about it. ;-) Best regards, Danny

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
There is no accept button because I haven't answered your question yet.
Yes, I truly believe it is IBS. Possibly you may have some lactose intolerance - try to pay attention to see if dairy products make your symptoms worse. You may not notice right away but just try to pay attention to that. If you don't see any difference in your symptoms when you have dairy, try to have gluten free diet. You can google "gluten free diet" and you will have tons of information come up. Gluten is a protein which is found in many foods (mostly processed foods and in bread products). See if sticking to low-gluten or free gluten diet will make your symptoms better.
So, again, I do think you have IBS but since you don't want to go see your doctor, lets try lactose free diet for 2 weeks and if you still have symptoms, try gluten free diet.

Department of Revenue to Open Taxpayer Assistance and Collection Center in Edgecombe County
Date: 4/7/2003
RALEIGH -- The North Carolina Department of Revenue will open a new Taxpayer Assistance and Collection Center in Edgecombe County this October that will create 108 jobs and help the agency respond to taxpayer calls faster and more efficiently, Secretary Norris Tolson announced today.
"We are committed to providing the best possible service to the taxpayers of our state," Tolson said. "This new facility will be the hub of our tax collection efforts. It will help us improve collections, provide better customer service and ultimately lower our operational costs.
"It will also provide an economic boost to Edgecombe County and the surrounding area by creating new jobs and pumping as much as $2 million into the region's economy," Tolson said. Hiring for the new positions will begin early this summer.
To be located in the Fountain Industrial Park in Rocky Mount, the Center will allow the department to use state of the art voice communication technology to better serve North Carolina's taxpayers. It will serve as the primary link between taxpayers and the department, and is projected to allow twice as many phone calls to be processed.
When the Center is fully operational in 2005, it is projected to save the department roughly
$1 million to $2 million per year in operating and personnel costs.

Filing documents and finding information
Q1. Where can I find forms?
Most documents are required to be filed online. From the business home page, click on "
File a business document
" and review the options. If you are not sure where to find a form, you can look for a form on the
Business Forms List
Forms regarding tax matters will be found on the appropriate
website or by contacting such agencies. The Secretary of State's office does not have any information pertaining to taxation.
Q2. Which form should I file?
The Secretary of State's office cannot advise you on which forms are necessary for different types of transactions. Questions regarding which form should be completed after reviewing the available forms should be addressed to your legal, business, or tax advisor(s).
Q3. How do I fill out the form?
The Secretary of State's office cannot give business or legal advice regarding the proper information to be entered on a form.
Instructions for each form are available by selecting "Help on this Page" while filing the document online. If you need further assistance completing the form read the appropriate statute or seek advice from your legal, business, or tax advisor(s).
Q4. Where can I find form/line instructions?
online filing instructions
line instructions for specific forms
Q5. What does "Fillable" mean?
A document that is "fillable" allows the user to type the required information into the fields provided while on the computer. The completed document may be printed and submitted for filing as a paper document. These documents are not intended for online filing. Also, the form must be completed on a computer or typewriter. Handwritten forms will not be accepted.
Q6. How long will it take to process documents I have submitted for filing? Can I expedite the process?
Documents submitted online are filed in real-time, which means that the document is processed immediately after being submitted. Documents filed online will trump paper documents submitted to our office.
Business filings generally will be processed in the order that they are received. Paper filings should be completed within 7-10 business days from the date received. You may expedite the process with payment of an additional fee. Expedited documents are processed within 3 business days. Expedite requests received after 4pm may not be reviewed until the following business day. All requests for expedited filings must be made in writing at the time the document is submitted.
Requests for certified copies, certificates of fact, and other transactions are also available on an expedited basis for an additional fee and are usually completed within 3 business days.
Q7. Can I have my documents reviewed ("pre-cleared") prior to submitting them for filing?
No. As of July 1, 2004, the Secretary of State no longer accepts documents for pre-clearance. The individual filing the document is responsible for its accuracy. The Secretary of State can only check that the required fields have been completed but cannot decide whether the information provided in those fields is correct. Web-enabled documents will show reject reasons in red once the filing is submitted.
Q8. Do I receive any paper work back after the filing has been accepted?
Our office does not send back confirmation copies of business filings. Images of filed documents are available for viewing and printing from our website after the document is processed.
Q9. How can I view and obtain copies of a filed document?
To view and obtain copies of a filed document:
From the Business Home, select "Search business database".
Enter the record name or ID number and click "Search".
If you enter a name, a list of entities with similar names will display. Select the ID Number of the appropriate entity.
From the Summary page, select "View History and Documents".
Select the Document number to view the document.
A PDF image of the document will open. You may print and/or save the image. Select the browser's "Back" button to return to the History and Documents page.
Q10. How do I obtain a Certificate of Good Standing?
To print a free Certificate of Good Standing for any business entity in Good Standing:
From the Business Home page, select "Certificate of good standing".
Enter the entity name or ID number and click "Search".
If you enter a name, a list of entities with similar names will display. Select the ID Number of the appropriate entity.
From the Summary page, select "Obtain Certificate of Good Standing".
The certificate will open as a PDF image.
You may then print or save the certificate.
Use the browser's "Back" button to return to the Summary page.
If the status of the entity is anything other than Good Standing (i.e., Delinquent, Exists, Dissolved or Revoked), a Certificate of Good Standing cannot be issued. Review the entity's History and Documents to see if a Periodic Report or some other document needs to be filed. If you have additional questions regarding the status of the entity, contact the Business and Licensing Division.
Note: The U.S. Department of State has stated that the only Certificate of Good Standing it will accept is one that is printed in color rather than black and white. The Colorado Secretary of State's office will not provide a colored version if ordered on the Certified Order form. Therefore, the Certificate of Good Standing will need to be obtained and printed on a computer that is connected to a color printer.
Q11. What is an apostille and what purpose does it serve?
An apostille is a special certificate used to authenticate public documents for international use. Filed documents and certificates of fact may be certified with an apostille for use in
countries participating in the 1961 Hague Convention
If you need certification of a document for use in a country that does not participate in the Hague Convention, visit the
U.S. Department of State website
Q12. What is an entity ID number? Where can I find it?
The Colorado Secretary of State uses an 11-digit numbering system. The first four digits indicate the year, the fifth digit is a 1 or 2 (1 for business filings or 2 for UCC filings) and the last six digits are sequential numbers that start at 000001 each January 1. An entity ID number is a unique number used to identify an entity's record. This number is assigned when an entity submits for filing an originating document (i.e., Articles of Incorporation) or document that creates a new Secretary of State record. This number is stamped by the Secretary of State on the original document delivered for filing and typically appears in the upper right hand corner on the first page of the document.
Q13. How do I find an owner, officer, director, member, or manager of a business entity?
Business entities are not required to file information regarding owners, officers, directors, members, or managers with the Secretary of State. While this information may be available in certain documents, such as Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization, there is no guarantee of its accuracy or that it is up to date. This information is to be kept in the entity's records held at its principal office. You may want to contact the entity at the principal office address for this information.
Q14. I know a certain company is doing business in Colorado. Why am I unable to find it listed in your records?
The entity may have been administratively dissolved or revoked for failure to file a Periodic Report or maintain a registered agent a number of years ago. These entities may have been purged from the database prior to 1997. You may request a non-digital data search using the Business Services Request form if you believe that the entity was a registered entity. The Secretary of State does not guarantee results. Another reason may be that the business in question is a sole proprietorship or general partnership that had a closed, expired, or inactive trade name on record with the Department of Revenue at the time trade name records were transferred to the Secretary of State in 2006. The Colorado Department of Revenue may provide information concerning these types of businesses. Finally, the business may not have been filed with the Secretary of State.
Q15. Do you have information on stock or a list of stockholders for corporations?
No. The Colorado Secretary of State does not maintain this information. This information is to be kept in the entity's records held at its principal office.
Q16. Where can I find a list of business entity, history, & status type abbreviations?
See our
Q17. Do your records tell me if a business is reputable?
The Secretary of State's office does not record complaints against businesses or investigate businesses, nor do we have information regarding the reputability or business practices of any entity.

NEW YORK CITY -- New Yorkers caught umbrella-less in a downpour can stay dry on the fly by renting one from a 'brellaBox machine. For $2.50, the automated two-way vending machine dispenses an umbrella, which patrons have 16 hours to return or be charged for its full cost.
New York-based entrepreneurs John O'Connor and Anusha Kambhampaty conceived 'brellaBox with a vision of making it easier, cheaper and more environmentally friendly for New Yorkers to stay dry.
"I was tired of getting caught in the rain without an umbrella," said O'Connor, adding that the machines curb the waste of cheap umbrellas. "People forget their umbrellas at home and buy one for a few bucks, then it breaks right away. You end up with tons of broken umbrellas left all over the streets and filling garbage cans. It's a tremendous waste of resources."
Totes Isotoner supplied umbrellas, which can reportedly withstand winds up to 70 mph, for the launch.
The vending machine is making its debut at WeWork Charging Bull, a shared workspace for startups and small businesses located in Manhattan's financial district. The company's founders plan to expand the concept in the city and beyond.

The Declaration of Independence was printed in The Advocate on July 4, and I was very happy to read it again and refresh my memory. Some items jumped out at me as being very near to our present situation under President Barack Obama as we did at that time under King George. Here are a few.
"He has refused to Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public Good."
"He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing to assent to laws for establishing Judiciary powers."
"He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution and acknowledged by our laws."
"He has imposed taxes on us without our consent."
"He has altered fundamentally the form of our Government."
"He has declared himself invested with the power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever."
Does any of this sound familiar?

Everything in this US producer's world is in slow motion. Very slow motion. However nobody said he'd be a whizz at fixing your drain or mending your fridge, it's his music that we want him for and, in that regard he's very good indeed. This EP collects five beautifully produced, otherworldly cuts that often take synthy '80s soul and balearica to its very stoned logical conclusion ("Ask The Lonely", "Gather Melodies") and sometimes even deliver sublime snails pace chill wave ("Just A Thought", "Long Goodbye"). An awesome release.

"If I hadn't listened to my friend about A Place for Mom I never
would have found you and the wonderful resources you have given us.
When I first began this quest and emailed A Place for Mom,
you picked up the phone and called me to assure me that you were
there to help. That meant so much to me. I never felt pressured
into making any decisions. Rather, I felt safe knowing I could turn
to you for any issues or concerns during the search."

It seems the more I try to sell what's good about the Republican party to my liberal and black friends, fiscal responsibility, limited government and lower taxes, the harder it gets. Republicans continue to prove racism is alive, well and kicking within the established ranks of the party and it needs to be expunged from the GOP.

Macon J. Dew, 64, of Mt. Juliet, was sentenced on Friday, Jan. 11, by Chief U.S. District Judge William J. Haynes Jr. to serve 12 months and 1 day in federal prison, and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $205,535 to the IRS for his role in the preparation of false tax returns, announced Jerry E. Martin, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee.
Dew was also prohibited from preparing or filing any future tax returns.
Dew pleaded guilty on July 18, 2012, to two counts of aiding and assisting in the preparation of false tax returns.Dew admitted that he was a Certified Public Accountant until 2008 and he had operated a tax return preparation business in Mt. Juliet and Old Hickory.He acknowledged that between 2001 and 2004, he prepared at least 33 false income tax returns for others. The false items included fictitious W-2 forms, false Schedule C businesses, and fraudulent education credits. Dew admitted that the tax loss from the filing of these false returns was at least $40,000.
Additionally, Dew admitted that for the 2006 tax year, he prepared returns and relevant schedules for two individuals who formed a corporation known as CP Construction, LLC.The returns falsely reported a loss of $751,300 each. These claimed losses resulted in a tax loss to the government of $165,535.
This office will vigorously prosecute those who defraud the United States government by filing false income tax returns, Martin said.It is especially offensive when individuals with licenses and special knowledge use their skills to prepare false returns and false documents to support them.We will continue to pursue the public money that was paid for false tax refunds to restore it to the U.S. Treasury.
This investigation was conducted by IRS- Criminal Investigation.Assistant U.S. Attorney Jimmie Lynn Ramsaur represented the government.
A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service Office in Old Hickory and will be in effect from 2 p.m., Monday, until 8 a.m., Tuesday. Meteorologists said they expect a light wintry mix of snow and freezing rain.
The statement from the NWS said a plume of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will stream into the Mid-state this afternoon and through the overnight hours. With sub-freezing temperatures expected later tonight, a light, wintry mix of snow, freezing rain and a cold rain will be possible through early Tuesday morning across the western two-thirds of Middle Tennessee, which includes Wilson County.
