Foers Winch
Not content with building his own four wheel drive, the Ibex based on Land Rover mechanical components, John Foers has come up with a most ingenious winch mounting system.
The winch, in this case a Warn electric winch,
is mounted under the floor, between the main chassis rails
and immediately behind the front seats,
i.e. in the centre of the vehicle, and facing to the rear.
This is the optimum position for a low polar moment -
that is to say it does not give the 4WD's springs a hard
The winch cable leads out to the rear of the vehicle, around a snatch-block which is normally embedded in the rear chassis cross-member, around a second pulley and then into a tube inside the left-hand chassis rail whence it emerges from the front of the chassis (below).
The arrangement allows the vehicle to be winched forward.
It also allows the vehicle to be winched backwards
by removing the snatch-block from the rear chassis cross-member
(thanks to a quick-release locating pin)
and attaching it to a convenient tree etc.
The front swage and hook hold the free end of the winch cable
so there is no need to re-thread the winch cable
to change from front to rear winching or vice versa.
Neat, isn't it?
An interesting side effect of the Foers' winch mount is that if a snatch block is used on the front portion of the winch cable, and if the rear snatch block is also in use off the vehicle, then the 4WD can drive along the cable: as the front portion shortens so the rear portion lengthens by exactly the same amount. It does require the use of a front snatch block so that front and rear cables both operate at 2:1 ratios.
This effect can be used to prevent sliding down a side-slope
or to spin the 4WD on the spot by pulling the front
to one side and the rear to the other side.
While centre mounted winches are previously known, for example on Forward Control 2A/2B and 101 Land Rovers, the complete Foers system with easy front and rear winching is novel and a patent is pending [7/98].
To see how well it works, read [this].
Left: the man and his machine. As of July 1998 Ibexes numbers 43 and 44 are under construction at the Yorkshire factory.

This article in Politico highlights the latest House Republican leader who has had to distance himself from outrageous remarks made by Congressman Steve King in his effort to sabotage immigration reform. Having previously compared immigrants to dogs, King is now suggesting that most immigrants are drug smugglers. Nice. In the past two days, Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Kantor and, now, Cong. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, who chairs the committee working on immigration reform,have all had to address King's hatefulness. Goodlatte said King's comments were "not helpful." Indeed. If your goal is to keep the Senate bill from becoming law, King's comments are truly not helpful precisely because they raise the stakes for GOP moderates, and those who wish to ever reclaim the White House: Unless the House does something, Mr. King will be the face of the GOP on immigration and look for the next Republican presidential candidate to get even less of the vote than Mitt Romney did. King is creating wiggle room for Boehner to get immigration reform across the finish line. I hope the media will keep a microphone in front of King at all times, follow him around Iowa during the recess, etc. He may be just what we need to get immigration reform passed.

Subject: [BKLYN] from your administrator.
Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2009 08:59:23 EDT
Dear List
As many of you know it's been an emotional year for me with my Mother's
passing. It's coming up on a year all ready. While I let a lot slip by
please know I have not slipped in my duties as this list administrator.
A clarification on my last post. Anytime you are harassed by a subscriber
OFF list I would like to know about it. I've had an email from a
subscriber who is being attacked in their private email and because of the verbal
attacks they are thinking of leaving the list. This affects me personally
and it effects you. When good people offer help and are abused because of
it counteracts what we are trying to do here.
The lose of one subscriber could be the one person who holds the key to
breaking down your wall. There is absolutely NO reason to attack someone for
offering an opinion or knowledge. Information sparring is good. Private
abuse is not. It will NOT be tolerated.
Consider the following before you open an email to attack someone:
NO ONE will attack another ON or OFF list. It will be reason for
rejection to the list. I will give one warning and then your off. You can change
your email and resub but know I will find you and reject that name too.
There are too many good many on this list to let one individual ruin the
reputation and good feelings we create.

The magnificent final book in J. K. Rowling's seven-part saga comes to readers July 21, 2007.
You'll find out July 21!
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Readers beware. The brilliant, breathtaking conclusion to J.K. Rowling's spellbinding series is not for the faint of heart--such revelations, battles, and betrayals await in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that no fan will make it to the end unscathed. Luckily, Rowling has prepped loyal readers for the end of her series by doling out increasingly dark and dangerous tales of magic and mystery, shot through with lessons about honor and contempt, love and loss, and right and wrong. Fear not, you will find no spoilers in our review--to tell the plot would ruin the journey, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is an odyssey the likes of which Rowling's fans have not yet seen, and are not likely to forget. But we would be remiss if we did not offer one small suggestion before you embark on your final adventure with Harry--bring plenty of tissues.
The heart of Book 7 is a hero's mission--not just in Harry's quest for the Horcruxes, but in his journey from boy to man--and Harry faces more danger than that found in all six books combined, from the direct threat of the Death Eaters and you-know-who, to the subtle perils of losing faith in himself. Attentive readers would do well to remember Dumbledore's warning about making the choice between "what is right and what is easy," and know that Rowling applies the same difficult principle to the conclusion of her series. While fans will find the answers to hotly speculated questions about Dumbledore, Snape, and you-know-who, it is a testament to Rowling's skill as a storyteller that even the most astute and careful reader will be taken by surprise.
A spectacular finish to a phenomenal series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a bittersweet read for fans. The journey is hard, filled with events both tragic and triumphant, the battlefield littered with the bodies of the dearest and despised, but the final chapter is as brilliant and blinding as a phoenix's flame, and fans and skeptics alike will emerge from the confines of the story with full but heavy hearts, giddy and grateful for the experience. --Daphne Durham

Begin at the Beginning
| Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
|Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
|* Harry's first trip to the zoo with the Dursleys, when a boa constrictor winks at him.
* When the Dursleys' house is suddenly besieged by letters for Harry from Hogwarts. Readers learn how much the Dursleys have been keeping from Harry. Rowling does a wonderful job in displaying the lengths to which Uncle Vernon will go to deny that magic exists.
* Harry's first visit to Diagon Alley with Hagrid. Full of curiosities and rich with magic and marvel, Harry's first trip includes a trip to Gringotts and Ollivanders, where Harry gets his wand (holly and phoenix feather) and discovers yet another connection to He-Who-Must-No-Be-Named. This moment is the reader's first full introduction to Rowling's world of witchcraft and wizards.
* Harry's experience with the Sorting Hat.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
|* The de-gnoming of the Weasleys' garden. Harry discovers that even wizards have chores--gnomes must be grabbed (ignoring angry protests "Gerroff me! Gerroff me!"), swung about (to make them too dizzy to come back), and tossed out of the garden--this delightful scene highlights Rowling's clever and witty genius.
* Harry's first experience with a Howler, sent to Ron by his mother.
* The Dueling Club battle between Harry and Malfoy. Gilderoy Lockhart starts the Dueling Club to help students practice spells on each other, but he is not prepared for the intensity of the animosity between Harry and Draco. Since they are still young, their minibattle is innocent enough, including tickling and dancing charms.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
|* Ron's attempt to use a telephone to call Harry at the Dursleys'.
* Harry's first encounter with a Dementor on the train (and just about any other encounter with Dementors). Harry's brush with the Dementors is terrifying and prepares Potter fans for a darker, scarier book.
* Harry, Ron, and Hermione's behavior in Professor Trelawney's Divination class. Some of the best moments in Rowling's books occur when she reminds us that the wizards-in-training at Hogwarts are, after all, just children. Clearly, even at a school of witchcraft and wizardry, classes can be boring and seem pointless to children.
* The Boggart lesson in Professor Lupin's classroom.
* Harry, Ron, and Hermione's knock-down confrontation with Snape.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
|* Hermione's disgust at the reception for the veela (Bulgarian National Team Mascots) at the Quidditch World Cup. Rowling's fourth book addresses issues about growing up--the dynamic between the boys and girls at Hogwarts starts to change. Nowhere is this more plain than the hilarious scene in which magical cheerleaders nearly convince Harry and Ron to jump from the stands to impress them.
* Viktor Krum's crush on Hermione--and Ron's objection to it.
* Malfoy's "Potter Stinks" badge.
* Hermione's creation of S.P.E.W., the intolerant bigotry of the Death Eaters, and the danger of the Triwizard Tournament. Add in the changing dynamics between girls and boys at Hogwarts, and suddenly Rowling's fourth book has a weight and seriousness not as present in early books in the series. Candy and tickle spells are left behind as the students tackle darker, more serious issues and take on larger responsibilities, including the knowledge of illegal curses.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
|* Harry's outburst to his friends at No. 12 Grimmauld Place. A combination of frustration over being kept in the dark and fear that he will be expelled fuels much of Harry's anger, and it all comes out at once, directly aimed at Ron and Hermione. Rowling perfectly portrays Harry's frustration at being too old to shirk responsibility, but too young to be accepted as part of the fight that he knows is coming.
* Harry's detention with Professor Umbridge. Rowling shows her darker side, leading readers to believe that Hogwarts is no longer a safe haven for young wizards. Dolores represents a bureaucratic tyrant capable of real evil, and Harry is forced to endure their private battle of wills alone.
* Harry and Cho's painfully awkward interactions. Rowling clearly remembers what it was like to be a teenager.
* Harry's Occlumency lessons with Snape.
* Dumbledore's confession to Harry.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
|* The introduction of the Horcrux.
* Molly Weasley asking Arthur Weasley about his "dearest ambition." Rowling has always been great at revealing little intriguing bits about her characters at a time, and Arthur's answer "to find out how airplanes stay up" reminds us about his obsession with Muggles.
* Harry's private lessons with Dumbledore, and more time spent with the fascinating and dangerous pensieve, arguably one of Rowling's most ingenious inventions.
* Fred and George Weasley's Joke Shop, and the slogan: "Why Are You Worrying About You-Know-Who? You Should Be Worrying About U-NO-POO--the Constipation Sensation That's Gripping the Nation!"
* Luna's Quidditch commentary. Rowling created scores of Luna Lovegood fans with hilarious and bizarre commentary from the most unlikely Quidditch commentator.
* The effects of Felix Felicis.

A Few Words from Mary GrandPré
"When I illustrate a cover or a book, I draw upon what the author tells me; that's how I see my responsibility as an illustrator. J.K. Rowling is very descriptive in her writing--she gives an illustrator a lot to work with. Each story is packed full of rich visual descriptions of the atmosphere, the mood, the setting, and all the different creatures and people. She makes it easy for me. The images just develop as I sketch and retrace until it feels right and matches her vision." Check out more Harry Potter art from illustrator Mary GrandPré.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was J.K. Rowling's first novel, followed by Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, as well as three books written for charity and inspired by the Harry Potter novels: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Quidditch Through the Ages and The Tales of Beedle the Bard. The Harry Potter novels have now sold over 400 million copies worldwide and been translated into 70 languages. J.K. Rowling has generated huge popular appeal for her books across the generations in an unprecedented fashion: she was the first children's author to be voted the BA Author of the Year, and also to win the British Book Awards Author of the Year. J.K. Rowling lives with her family in Edinburgh.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Uncyclopedia Health Service
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Uncyclopedia Health Service
Mmmm grey slop--Moneke 09:44, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
|It's OK. Some good ideas here and there, but not really laugh out loud material for me. In places the whole thing gets rather list based, and that's seldom looked on well. I like the way which it mocks a 'real' form, and think you have done a great job in places. I particularly liked the Application for a Hospital bed. In other places the humour is a bit random, although not hugely so, I just think that for the effort you have obviously put in you can do a bit better.
I guess this article can be used as a vechicle to make fun of Uncyc and the Health service. Why not add in some references to some more incidents of Uncyc culture? What about the outbreak of Fisher price, or when Mr Winkler was put in charge of the ward? What impact did this have on the quality of service given? How about the 'crises' in VFH at the moment? How would the village dump impact on the service? How about the obvious decline in the quality of Pee Reviews (see this review for further information). :-)
|It's a good idea! I'm surprised that this has not been done before. There is plenty of scope to improve this, but um, I can't. See below...
|Prose and formatting:
|Sorry for the poor score here. I had to though... This is probably the most important part of this review: You have done this using pictures for everything. Although I like the look of it, and think I understood why you did it, I think there is a major problem here. How do other people change the text? Would you not have to modify the actual picture? I really don't think doing an article in this manor is a good idea. It's not really very wiki like as it discourages other people from editing your article. Surely that's a bad thing. I know it would be difficult to get this looking as good as it does now using any other means, but perhaps you could re-do this using a wiki table or perhaps a combination of tables and images. I might be wrong on this one, I have not been around Uncyc that long myself, but for me I don't think this way of presenting an article is a good idea.
This article is also a 'dead end' as it has no links to other articles.
Also, on my screen (I'm using 1024*768) the right hand side of the article is not visible. I have to scroll across to view it. I guess you did this on a higher resolution, but on mine, it's a little annoying.
|Well it's all an image! Well done though. You have obviously put a lot of work in, and it shows.
|Final Score:
|This is a good idea, but I think you need to change it so that it's possible for other people to edit it without needing to modify the pictures. Without doing this I think you're in trouble. If you decide to do it, then this can be a really good article...

Zeta-Jones says during the NYC Dance Alliance Foundation Gala in New York City that Michael's Emmy win 'was wonderful - so well-deserved.'
Catherine Zeta-Jones, who has been "taking some time apart" from her husband Michael Douglas, recently talked about Douglas' Best Actor trophy at the Emmys. Speaking to Access Hollywood at the NYC Dance Alliance Foundation Gala in New York City, Zeta-Jones said, "I'm thrilled for him. It was wonderful - so well-deserved."
Zeta-Jones, who wore a gray hand-embroidered floral Dennis Basso gown at the Sunday, September 29 event, also gushed over her children's talent in the interview. "My daughter dances. My son dances. He doesn't do lessons, but he's got the moves! I don't know where he gets them from - Michael's a good dancer too, so I can't say it's all me," she joked.
Recent report suggested that Zeta-Jones and Douglas lived together again after the actor said that he and his wife were "working things out, talking." A source close to the couple told U.K.'s The Sun, "Michael's asked Catherine to give things another try and she's agreed. It's not just for the sake of the children. When they're good, they're amazing together, so they're hammering out their issues at their home. It's good news and Catherine is on top of the world."
Douglas, who won the trophy for his his portrayal of Liberace in HBO movie "Behind the Candelabra", thanked Zeta-Jones for her support and mentioned his son Cameron in his acceptance speech after receiving the prize. "And a shout-out to my oldest son Cameron, but hopefully I'll be able to see him soon," he said onstage.

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Syrup Recipe
- Combine the water and sugar in a saucepan.
- Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the spices and the pumpkin and continue to simmer for about 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and strain the syrup through cheesecloth or a tea towel. Don't use a coffee filter or paper towel. If you don't have a tea towel try straining it twice through a fine mesh strainer.[6] [7] [8]
- Allow the syrup to cool, then refrigerate the syrup in a tightly closed jar for up to a month.[9] [10]
How to Make a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Video
Starbucks uses their own proprietary blend of syrup. The Starbucks syrup, which is marketed under the Fontana brand, and used by both Starbucks and their subsidiary, Seattle's Best Coffee, is actually called Pumpkin Spice Sauce. The difference between sauce and syrup is probably due to the presence of actual pumpkin in the Fontana sauce. Many commercial pumpkin spice syrups, such as that made by Torani, just contain simple syrup that is flavored with pumpkin pie spices, so you don't get the full pumpkin flavor if you use them to make your pumpkin spice latte.
The Starbucks Pumpkin Spice syrup can be used in a variety of beverages and recipes such as the following:
- The classic pumpkin spice latte is a perfect choice for the using the syrup.
- Pumpkin spice tea crafted with green or black tea is coffee alternative.
- For a quick and easy treat, pour the syrup over pound cake or angel food cake, or even cheesecake.[10]
- You can even use the syrup and the rest of the pumpkin purée to make a light pumpkin spice sorbet or ice cream to have for dessert after that huge Thanksgiving dinner.[11] [12]
- To make a pumpkin martini, combine 1 ounce of the pumpkin spice syrup, 2 ounces vanilla vodka, 1 ounce Sylk cream liqueur, and shake with ice until chilled. Strain and serve in a martini glass rimmed by dipping in more pumpkin spice syrup, and coated with cinnamon sugar.

Report provides certainty for Christchurch
Earthquake Recovery Spokesperson
7 May 2014
Report provides certainty for Christchurch
The KordaMentha Report, released by the Christchurch City Council today, finally gives residents certainty about the city's financial situation, Labour's Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Spokesperson Ruth Dyson said today.
"For too long we have been kept in the dark about costs and future liabilities.
"The report means that we need to have a robust debate about what we can afford and priorities for our City. It is not the time for short-term fixes such as asset sales but it is the time for a careful and considered rethink about what is best for our future.
"It is also critical that the Government comes to the party and acknowledges the changed information. We need a genuine partnership between central and local government if our recovery is going to be the best it possibly can be. We need to hear that commitment from John Key now.
"The report also brings into question the robustness of the Government's figures in relation to their contribution to the rebuild and recovery.
"Gerry Brownlee was insistent that the previous council not undertake independent costings such as this. He has rejected the financial information contained in this report. I wonder how much of this rejection has got to do with the figures that make up next week's budget.
"If any predicted budget surplus is based on false figures for the real cost of the Canterbury recovery, then people will see through it and expose it for the farce that it is," Ruth Dyson said.

Washington retailers are getting ready for the 78 year old state monopoly on liquor sales to end this Friday. It's not yet clear what privatization will do to the price of alcohol in Washington. One entity with a big stake in the matter … is the state of Idaho.
Some of Idaho's most profitable state-run liquor stores just happen to be along its Northwestern border.
Jared Tatro: "And when we went up to visit those stores, we look at IDs, we're looking at license plates, they're coming from Washington."
Jared Tatro is a researcher with the Idaho Legislature's Office of Performance Evaluations. And lately he's been trying to evaluate what privatization in Washington means for the performance of Idaho's liquor trade.
On the one hand, Washington consumers will have hundreds of new places to buy booze. But the law also comes with new retailer and distributor fees, on top of the highest liquor sales tax in the country. Tatro says if it leads higher prices, the Washington law might be a boon for Idaho's lesser-taxed liquor stores.
Jared Tatro: "So that's where I think the big question mark really comes in, as we see it."
Idaho liquor regulators have been mulling over whether to open new stores along the border. They're waiting to see what happens in Washington before they make that decision.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Welcome to Just Answer and thanks for your question. Stage 4/IV is part of the staging system (0-IV) that tells how far the cancer has spread from its origin. Stage 0 has no spread at all, and is known as carcinoma in situ. Stage I has spread locally around the origin only. Stage II are more advanced, but still local. Stage III is still more advanced but usually still in one area of the body. Stage II and III depend a lot on what kind of cancer it is. For instance, if lymph nodes are involved on only one side of the diphragm, it might be Stage II, but if they are on both sides of the diaphragm, it would be Stage III. Stage IV/4 means that it has spread (metastizied) to far areas of the body.
You're welcome. I'm so sorry to hear that your loved one is so ill. Anemia is one side effect both of cancer and the strong drugs that are used to treat it. Transfusions are often times required. No response is needed to this. You've accepted and given a very generous bonus, for which I thank you. You are in my prayers.

American Humane Unveils New Brand
American Humane Association
Monigle Associates Develops New Brand Identity for 125-Year-Old Organization
American Humane, the nation's only nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting both children and animals from abuse, today revealed their new brand identity to the public. The new brand is a result of a pro-bono partnership with Monigle Associates, a leading national branding firm, and marks the second time since 1977 the two organizations have worked together.
Last year, American Humane revised their business plan and decided to change their look to better represent the organization's mission, current programs, staff expertise, and goals. After 25 years of using the shield logo, American Humane determined their current brand didn't clearly reflect the organization's mission to the public and child and animal protection professionals.
"We're changing with the times so we can continue in our leadership efforts to end child and animal abuse everywhere. As a nonprofit, our brand is perhaps our most important asset. It is what connects us emotionally with our constituents and cuts through the clutter so that we are heard," said Bob Roth, American Humane's vice president of public programs and marketing.
American Humane's unique dual mission of protecting both children and animals has presented the organization with numerous challenges in communicating what they do and how they do it. At its core, American Humane is an information and support resource that empowers individuals and professionals to protect children and animals against violence. The organization provides national leadership in the development of programs, policies, and services to assure that the interest and well-being of children and animals are effectively and humanely guaranteed.
"We needed a new design that appeals to all of our audiences. On one hand, we work with people who protect children, and on the other, we work with those who care about animal protection. Our new brand had to creatively unite the two under one organization, one name - American Humane," said Roth.
Monigle Associates created American Humane's new brand identity around the organization's long tradition of empowering change, instilling humane values, and providing leadership. The new design depicts a child's hands coming together to form a shadow of a bird flying upward, which captures the organization's focus on children and animals. The child's playful spirit communicates successful child protection, while the two hands working together represents American Humane's strategic partnerships and offices nationwide.
"As we developed the new brand for American Humane, it was critical to capture the organization's strong history as well as their forward-looking vision," said Rick Jacobs, principal of Monigle Associates. "The new brand is a balanced depiction of both, providing a revamped look for an organization with a steadfast mission. Twenty-five years after creating American Humane's previous brand, we are still proud of our relationship with the organization and hope to remain a partner well into the future."
As the nonprofit sector becomes increasingly crowded, American Humane hopes their new brand identity will help differentiate them from other similarly focused organizations, increase name recognition and awareness, create stronger relationships with public and professional partners, and provide a stronger foundation for their funding programs.
"The strength of American Humane is in our ability to communicate the value of our programs to our constituents under one name and one brand. When people see our name, we want them to know right away that it stands for our strong values -- empowerment, leadership, humaneness, and heritage," said Roth.
Known previously as the American Humane Association with the tagline "Protecting Children and Animals Since 1877," the organization removed the word "Association" from its formal name. They will move forward as "American Humane," with the new tagline "Empowering Action Since 1877." "Association" will remain in the organization's title in written contracts and other legal documents only.

City Light Radiance Perfecting Cream Review
Key Benefits:
City Lights Radiance Perfecting Cream is a total-face skin brightener that relies on proven ingredients to create flawless alabaster skin. Its active ingredients include Alpha Arbutin, Octadecendioic Acid, and Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract, all of which have been shown to be safe and effective in clinical trials.
City Lights has what we like to call a Goldilocks consistency- not too thick, not too runny. It looks and feels like a high-quality lotion, and absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue.
Because it glides on, you can easily apply makeup over it, although the manufacturer recommends using it at night for best results. We would like to second this recommendation- while this brightener is gentle, it's also quite powerful, and adding sun exposure could be too much for sensitive skin types.
There is a slight fragrance, but it's quite pleasant, doesn't last long, and is unlikely to be noticed by anyone else. Other brighteners often have a medical odor, so you smell like you just stepped out of a clinic. City Lights's fragrance is actually a selling point, in our opinion.
It's important to note that City Lights is NOT a spot reducer. You want to apply this to your entire face, so that you get even, porcelain skin. If you like, you can add a little extra to dark spots, but you'll likely see plenty of great results from just general application.
Within about two weeks of nightly use, there was noticeable reduction in dark spot intensity, and our skin was clearly brighter and more luminous. This isn't just the type of change that you think you see, either- people will come up to you and ask you what you're doing to have such porcelain skin.
City Lights Radiance Perfecting cream is free of both mercury and hydroquinone, so you don't have to take any chances with your health. Additionally, it hasn't been tested on animals, so your conscience is safe as well.
There was no stinging or irritation experienced with this product; rather, it's quite soothing and hydrating. Again, though, we recommend using it only at night.
Many of the truly effective skin brighteners sell for over $100, so we were expecting to pay at least that much for something this outstanding. However, City Lights is only $72, which is a ridiculously good price for a product of this quality.
It's a sizable bottle, and should last around 3 months. When you think that you can fade away the darkness for less than $25 a month, it makes City Lights a no-brainer.
Another thing worth mentioning is that many women reported saving money on foundation after using City Lights, which just further adds to the product's value.
Simply put, City Lights Radiance Perfecting Cream is the type of product that gets you noticed at parties. It outperformed everything else we tried, and at a price that's very comfortable.
If you're looking to take control over your misbehaving skin, then City Lights is the best skin brightener you can buy, bar none.

Complete list of 2010 Academic All-Big Ten Honorees
Park Ridge, Ill.--As the 2009-10 school year comes to a close, the Big Ten Conference recognizes a total of 1,041 spring and at-large sports student-athletes who have been named to the Academic All-Conference team. The list of honored student-athletes features 79 baseball players, 71 softball players, 117 women's rowers, 40 women's and 54 men's golfers, 55 women's and 50 men's tennis standouts, 192 women's and 146 men's track and field athletes and 136 women's (representing water polo, ice hockey, fencing, synchronized swimming, lightweight rowing, lacrosse, pistol and rifle) and 101 men's (representing ice hockey, volleyball, lacrosse, fencing, rowing, pistol and rifle) at-large athletes. To be eligible for Academic All-Big Ten selection, student-athletes must be letterwinners who are in at least their second academic year at their institution and carry a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher.
The Academic All-Big Ten award winners also achieved excellence outside of the classroom. On the golf course, Purdue's Thea Hoffmeister (Jr., Management) was a member of the 2010 NCAA Championship team. Illinois' Scott Langley (Jr., Accountancy) was named the conference's Golfer of the Year after guiding the Orange and Blue to their second straight Big Ten title.

McGraw eyes quick turnaround for SRU women
It's been a whirlwind summer for Bobby McGraw.
From the moment he was named acting head coach of the Slippery Rock University women's basketball team on May 5, it's been go, go, go for the 1990 Mars graduate.
"I am unbelievably excited. I was born in Pittsburgh, but I was raised in Butler County," he said. "To have my first head coaching opportunity come in Butler County, I couldn't be more thankful for the opportunity."
McGraw, who served as an assistant coach with the team last season, hopes to make his new position permanent when SRU conducts a national search after the upcoming season.
"If we're heading in the right direction after the season, I like to think I have a good chance to be here. There'd be nothing more important to me than to remain women's coach at SRU. This is where I live and where I want to be," he said.
"I can't thank (SRU president) Dr. Cheryl Norton and (SRU director of athletics) Paul Lueken enough. Without their vote of confidence, I wouldn't have had this chance. I can't explain how much I appreciate it. Now, it's up to me to do something with it."
That meant hitting recruiting trail immediately for some summer visits.
"As soon as I took over, within that next month, I was in Raleigh, St. Louis and Chicago twice trying to put pieces in place," he said.
"That first 30 days, I wasn't home a lot. You can't sit back on your heels and hope to be successful. That would not be good."
McGraw and new assistant coach Ryenn Micaletti, a New Castle native, hope to bolster The Rock's young talent so it can improve on last year's 6-20 overall record.
"We are very fortunate with the players we have coming in. I am very excited about the pieces in place," he said.
"What we really need for an immediate impact are a couple junior college transfers. The school year just ended and there were players who had offers. We were blessed enough to find some players who hadn't found the right situation yet. Sierra Fordham, the MVP of the (Pittsburgh) City League, is coming here.
"She is fantastic and electric."
"July is the main timeframe for the NCAA-certified events. We'll be at major AAU tournaments looking for people."
Slippery Rock returns one of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference's top players in senior forward D'Asia Chambers. The Farrell product was a first-team Western Division selection a year ago, when she averaged 17.8 points and 8.7 rebounds per game.
"Offensively, we're starting to figure out our philosophy. We have arguably the most dominant player in the PSAC coming back in D'Asia. She is the real deal," McGraw said.
"We will focus our offense around her, and it won't be a big secret. We'll figure out what else we'll do once we get everyone on campus."
Offense, however, is not McGraw's biggest concern. He wants to shore up the team's defense first.
"The first thing I can promise you is that we'll be stopping the basketball and guarding the basketball," he said.
"Numbers don't lie. The last two years, the SRU women's team has been ranked 268th and 264th out of 287 teams in points allowed per game. We cannot allow 75 points per game.
"When I recruited these players and the first thing I told the returning players is that they either guard or they'll be watching."
Defense and rebounding worked during McGraw's stops as an assistant coach with the La Roche College men (2010-12) and SRU men (2012-13) before he joined the women's squad last year.
"We won 25 games at La Roche in 2010-11 and, with the SRU men, we won 23 games to tie the program's best single-season record," he said. "We were the first Slippery Rock men's team to win an NCAA tournament basketball game. Both of those teams guarded their brains out and rebounded the ball.
"I expect to put that same formula to work. It all had to do with the mentality of the players going out and guarding and rebounding the ball."
The Rock women struggled to a 19-85 record the past four seasons. But McGraw is confident he can get the program back among the PSAC-West's elite.
"The PSAC is fantastic on the men's side. On the women's side, it's arguably the best conference in the country. At the end of the season, we had three teams among the top 20. The best players in our conference are from Western Pennsylvania," he said.
"We need to keep them here at SRU. We can't let them get out," he said. "To get those Western Pennsylvania kids, you have to establish relationships with the kids. I know a lot of these local coaches. Having that connection now where I am on the women's side is great. I plan on establishing more connections.
"In 2000, this program was the Atlantic Region champ and it can be done again," he said. "That's what we're working toward."

OKLAHOMA CITY - Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook each scored 29 points, and the Oklahoma City Thunder recovered after squandering a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter Wed-nesday to beat the Houston Rockets 105-102 and take a 2-0 series lead in the NBA Western Conference playoffs.
Durant hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:28 to play, and the Thunder didn't relinquish the lead after that.
James Harden scored 36 points and spearheaded a 21-2 comeback that wiped out the big deficit and put the Rockets up 95-91. But the top-seeded Thunder were able to protect the home-court advantage they'd spent all season earning.
Oklahoma City came back to tie it before Harden knifed to the basket for a layup to give Houston its last lead at 97-95 with 2:42 to play. Durant answered right away with a deep 3 from the left wing, and the Thunder came up with back-to-back stops before Thabo Sefolosha's 3 provided a little breathing room at 101-97. Game 3 is Saturday night in Houston.
• Pacers 113, Hawks 98: In Indianapolis, Paul George followed his triple-double by scoring a playoff career-high 27 points to lead Indiana. The Pacers lead the best-of-seven first-round series 2-0 and have won four straight home games over the Hawks. It's the first time Indiana has held a 2-0 series lead since the 2004 Eastern Conference semifinals.
George, playing in his first game since being named the league's Most Improved Player, was 11 of 21 from the field, had eight rebounds, three assists and four steals and again played well defensively. George Hill had 22 points.
Atlanta was led by Devin Harris with 17 points. Jeff Teague and Josh Smith both had 16. The Hawks head home for Game 3 on Saturday.
Rim shots
• Conceding publicly for the first time that he should have never fired Mike Brown as Cleveland's coach during the turbulent summer of 2010, owner Dan Gilbert said Wednesday he's thrilled to be able to rehire the most successful coach in franchise history. Brown led the Cavs to the NBA playoffs in each of his five seasons with the club.
• Grizzlies center Marc Gasol has won his first NBA Defensive Player of the Year award after anchoring the league's stingiest defense. The 7-foot-1 Spaniard averaged 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals for a Memphis defense that allowed a league-best 88.7 points per game.
• Southern California junior center Dewayne Dedmon says he'll enter the NBA draft. He led the Trojans in rebounding (7.0 per game), blocks (66) and steals (34) this season.

By Wanda Sykes
|Review by: Michelle Humphrey
There is a book waiting to be written "Great Moments of Women in Comedy" which will tell a history from Fanny Brice to Lucille Ball to Julia Louis-Dreyfus. And this book will include Wanda Sykes. Sykes has already achieved what feels like legendary humor with a scene from her short-lived television series "Wanda at Large: shes allowed to play on the golf course of an all-male country club when she shows up with a naked woman. Later, when Wanda and the nude return, both fully dressed, no one lets them in. They stand outside a locked iron gate until Wanda figures out another way to get inside this time, as a maid.
Yeah, I Said It, Sykes first humor collection, is filled with her trademark nervy observations on all the newsworthy topics: gay marriage, reality shows, metrosexuals, Native American mascots and how to ruin porn for your man. This is usual territory, and the jokes are delivered with the usual crudeness. But there are transcendent moments. Sykes rage is controlled in terse, rhythmic punch lines, her images are the right kind of surreal (balloon animals and Mr. Potato Heads appear in brilliant places), and the sketches are sharp and undiluted. When Saddam and bin Laden smoke weed while watching the Iraqi war on TV, its a gag that probably reads funnier as written by Sykes than if it were staged on MAD TV.
Her wittiest vignettes focus on women, whether its marriage advice from her mother (He was wrong. I shot him. We move on") or breast implants for teenage girls ("Maybe breasts were cheaper than braces. Maybe her parents had a plan . Well spring for [breasts] and hopefully youll meet a nice man and hell fix your teeth). And her thoughts on male fantasies should be read with her high-pitched, punctuating voice in mind: "The number one fantasy for most guys is a threesome. They want to have two women at the same time. I think thats a bit lofty. If you cant satisfy that one woman, why do you want to piss off another one? Why have two angry women in the bedroom with you at the same time?"
Sykes told Jet magazine she enjoyed writing the book because it forced her to sort out her opinions on a variety of subjects, and in those sections about American politics, her tone is more of liberal outspokenness than wild humor. Still, the bits entertain in sequences that are not just comedy but conversation especially for smart, outraged women looking for camaraderie along with some delectable laughs.
