Oooh, boy, I think I went and done it this time
Ok, it's on the grill, and I took a "before" pic with (my old-fashioned showing the size.) My store only had one flank left, so I'm just doing one. I opted for no ham/kielbasa, but more bacon, both outside, and inside.
The stuffing consisted also of spinach instead of celery, carrots, green and red pepper, onion, sliced garlic, and a mix of Romano and Asiago cheeses. Got off work early so had time to marinate in wine and sag/spice mix (like a homemade mrs. Dash) for a spell beforehand.
I also downloaded some recipes that called for sliced egg, pancetta, or prosciutto. Next time I might try that. Or regular italian extra spicy cajun sausage my seasonal meat vensor sells. Or crab meat!
Butterflied pretty well! By the time I got it nicely stuffed and rolled, it was HUGE! I can't wait to get the pics developed and downloaded, but boy was I laughing.
Slinger, I am doing the 3-2-1 on my Weber kettle, but also poked holes in the foil and am trying the first hour direct - rotate and flip every 20 minutes. I'm counting on the instant thermometer, but guesstimating due to it's size it will take about 2 hours.
At any rate, it's smelling absolutely killer, and the weather couldn't be beat. What a better way to start a B-day weekend? I even have plenty of cheese for the fondue kit. But I'm dipping shrimp in it, not bread. You guys are great, thx again for the ideas , I'll let ya know how it turns out, and pics are to come.

Corn futures followed soybean futures lower Thursday morning. The yellow grain market reacted weakly to the mixed result of the weekly USDA Export Sales report. That was not very surprising, since the latest figure essentially matched the poor results averaged over the previous four weeks. March corn had slipped 3.0 cents to $6.925/bushel by late morning, while December had dipped 3.75 cents to $5.605.
Soybean futures moved decidedly lower again Thursday, with the weekly USDA Export Sales report having a great deal to do with the drop. The total sales figure, at 990,700 tonnes fell within the range of pre-report forecasts, but the fact that 2012-13 commitments actually declined by 109,000 tonnes obviously implied a poor sale pace last week. March beans were trading 8.50 cents lower, at $14.145 late Thursday morning, while March soyoil had declined 0.09 cents to 51.57 cents/pound, and March meal slumped $2.9 to $405.2/ton.
Wheat futures dropped despite a supportive result on the export report. Industry analysts were reportedly looking for a result in the 275,000-400,000 tonne range, whereas it came in at 651,700 tonnes. The weak reaction was probably influenced by the concurrent drop in soybeans, but wheat traders may also have been reacting to the fact that 2012-13 sales actually reached just 203,600. March CBOT wheat futures had fallen 8.0 cents to 7.275/bushel just before lunchtime, while March KCBT wheat sank 9.25 cents to $7.71, and March MGE futures dropped 8.0 cents to $8.15.
News that country cattle continued trading weakly Thursday morning seemingly dragged live cattle futures to their lowest levels since last summer, but they staged an impressive rebound around midsession. The reason for the bounce was not obvious, but it very likely had a major technical component since the market was oversold on a short-term basis. We suspect traders were also hearing talk of wholesale firmness as well. April cattle were trading just 0.35 cents lower, at 129.05, after having plunged to 127.60 cents/pound around mid-morning. August had edged 0.07 cents higher to 125.35 by late morning. Meanwhile, March feeder cattle had bounced 0.42 cents higher, to 141.85 cents/pound, and August had jumped 1.02 cents to 155.62.
Hog futures dropped substantially Thursday morning. The Wednesday afternoon wholesale report, which stated pork cutout 2.68 cents lower almost surely powered the breakdown, but early cattle losses probably weighed upon the market as well. The drop seemingly confirms what now looks like a bear flag on the April futures chart, thereby suggesting a bearish follow-through to the downside. April hogs dove 1.12 cents to 84.67 cents/pound in Thursday morning action, while June fell 1.02 cents to 93.12.

"Day by day Volkswagen… appears less like a public company, and more like a complex oligarchy." That's how The Economist began a critique of the German carmaker's flawed corporate governance – in December 2005.
Not much has changed since, as the latest developments in Wolfsburg suggest. In spite of periodic protests about governance, Ferdinand Piëch, VW's chairman, has reinforced his hold over the group and is expected to seek another five-year term in the chair. The latest news is that his wife, Ursula, will stand for nomination to the board. This may be, as the FT wrote on Sunday, part of "a fairly well-established tradition of spouses taking up powerful positions at German companies", citing the board positions held by Friede Springer at Axel Springer, and Liz Mohn, at Bertelsmann. But to anybody outside this tradition of family-controlled companies, it looks distinctly odd. As Dow Jones pointed out in its account, "there are no reports…. that would suggest she has any high-profile corporate management experience". Read more

For those looking to drink and dance rather than drink and drive, consider the Crescent Ballroom, located off the Van Buren and Central Ave. light rail stop in downtown Phoenix — also walking distance from Arizona State University's Downtown Phoenix Campus.
Owner Charlie Levy considers the location ideal himself. "Opening up my own music venue is something I've always wanted to do, but it wasn't until I stumbled upon this place that I thought 'this is it.' "
Along with the crowd-friendly location, the ballroom, which can accommodate about 500 people, has historical significance that ultimately hooked Levy. The 7,000 sq. foot space, built in 1917, was once the F.L Hart Garage for cars along the Dixie Overland Highway, America's only coast-to-coast highway, now known as U.S. Highway 80. This building has been here to watch Phoenix transform from a farm-heavy community to a pavement-heavy metropolis.
Although Levy is originally from Louisiana, he himself has watched Phoenix transform before his very eyes; he says it's "unbelievable" how exponentially Phoenix is growing.
While attending ASU, Levy started his work in the field as a concert director for the student government and then briefly left school to work as a production assistant and talent buyer for a local production company, the Evening Star. He left the Evening Star to go back to school, and has since ventured on his own, leading to the creation of the Crescent.
Crescent hosts local favorites such as Black Carl and Courtney Marie Andrews, as well as a variety of nationally known singers/songwriters in every genre, including Deer Tick (indie-folk), Rachael Yamagata (blues-rock) and Das Racist (alt. hip-hop). And Crescent Ballroom doesn't have a booking policy.
"We love good music and host a wide range of singers and songwriters, from R&B to pop — there's something for everyone," Levy says.
The concert hall does not stand alone, however. There is also a lounge with full-bar service and free, live music everyday, as well as the option to order food from its restaurant, Cocina 10.
Cocina 10 is located within the ballroom, and while the menu is still in progress, the cuisine will be "Mexican-accented road food," Levy says. He assembled his two favorite chefs from the Valley, Chris Bianco of Pizzeria Bianco and Doug Robson of Gallo Blanco, and he also teamed up with Tucker Woodbury, owner of the Rocking Horse and the Vig in Arcadia, to make the Crescent all it could be. Woodbury has had a long-time background in night life and eateries, especially in the Phoenix area.
Levy's goal? "To have a place for people to come and enjoy live music, and for the artists to also have a great night and experience."
For more information and for a calendar of upcoming concerts, visit the Crescent Ballroom's website.

DENVER - Statistics show most people outlive their ability to drive safely by about six years. While people 75 to 84 have about the same accident rate as teenagers, once they are 85 years or older that rate quadruples according to a Carnegie Mellon study.
When is it time to stop driving? It's such a touchy subject that seniors and their families avoid it. For older drivers their independence is at stake. For families it's about keeping mom and dad and other drivers safe. Now, new research says that getting the family doctor involved early on could help seniors plan for their driving retirement.
For many, driving is the key to independence.
"As long as I can get my driver's license renewed, I am going to stay behind the wheel," said Ethel Harris, a 91 year old driver.
"When will I stop driving? 103," said Ruth Lynn, who's 83 years old.
"I think that a lot of people who know that they shouldn't be driving, but they still are because it is a freedom," said Jeannie Baird.
Many seniors are safe drivers, but some are not. The University of Colorado School of Medicine asked elderly drivers about who should make the call to quit driving and when. Enter the family doctor.
"We were talking about whether preventive conversations would be helpful. For example, say your 65 and you are a safe driver, but at your routine appointment your doctor says, 'Hey, have you thought about ten years from now, when your skills start to decline?' What we found is that older drivers were generally open to have those kinds of conversations, but we also found those conversations really aren't happening," explained Marian "Emmy" Betz, MD, MPH, Emergency Physician and Injury Epidemiologist, The University of Colorado School of Medicine.
Doctors wait to see red flags like vision or memory problems. The study says "anticipatory guidance"—talking early and often about health and driving—might make it easier for older patients to discuss it. Many are also more likely to accept advice from their doctor than from a family member.
"I think the take home is not that the family members shouldn't be involved, but the doctor should be," Betz said.
Betz says this is a public health issue. She's developing a screening tool for doctors called "crash" that could help them begin talking with their older patients about health issues and safe driving.
According to the CDC, there are 33 million drivers aged 65 and older in the U.S., and by 2030, federal estimates show that there will be about 57 million, making up about a quarter of all licensed drivers.
Additional Information:
Elderly drivers aged 65 and older have an increased risk of becoming involved in a motor vehicle crash. It is stated that an average of 500 elderly people are injured a day in car accidents. Males have a higher death rate than females when it comes to car accidents, especially within the elderly. Elderly drivers are less likely to drive without a seat belt on, they will only drive during the day and when the weather is clear, and they are not as likely to drive under the influence of alcohol. (Source: http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/older_adult_drivers/adult-drivers_factsheet.html)
WHEN TO STOP DRIVING: It is the driver's discretion to decide when to stop getting behind the wheel. Physical conditions may affect an elderly person's driving as well such as:
- Leg pain
- Pain or stiffness in neck
- Loss of vision
- Reaction time (Source: http://www.helpguide.org/elder/senior_citizen_driving.htm)
NEW TEST: Clinicians often wait too long before talking to elderly patients about giving up driving even though many may be open to those discussions earlier, according to a new study at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the CU College of Nursing. "These conversations often don't happen until clinicians see a `red flag' which could mean an accident or some physical problem that makes driving more difficult for the elderly," said Marian Betz, MD, MPH, at the CU School of Medicine and lead author of the study, was quoted as saying. "But what's interesting is that most elderly drivers we spoke with said they were open to having earlier discussions." The study involved focus groups and interviews with 33 drivers over age 65 and eight health care providers including physicians, nurses, and physician assistants. The study reported that elderly drivers were open to these discussions because they generally saw their medical providers as "fair minded." At the same time, the majority said they didn't believe their providers were aware of their driving status or ability. The researchers recommend a practice known as "anticipatory guidance" in gently preparing elderly drivers - by monitoring physical and mental changes - for the day when they could no longer operate a vehicle safely. Doctors could include driving status in their patient questionnaires and talk about it during regular office visits, they said.

Of course Ted Thompson double-dipped on running backs by getting Johnathan Franklin in the fourth round to pair with Eddie Lacy because "Ted Thompson".
With some questions about Lacy's durability and a lack of solid options in the backfield beyond DuJuan Harris (for who the jury is still out no matter what Aaron Nagler and I say), Franklin late in the fourth was just too good to pass up.
I went back and forth between Franklin and Stepfan Taylor all off-season, finally leaning towards Franklin because while he's a bit more raw, his ceiling is far higher.
Franklin had an up and down UCLA career, with a big sophomore year followed by a middling junior year and capped off by a fantastic senior campaign.
He can run tough, has learned to hold onto the ball and can catch as well. He does many things well, but none really perfectly. Still, he has a lot of untapped potential to offer.
Here's a closer look at Franklin and what he brings to the table.

A 40-YEAR-old woman was grabbed by a man who tried to pull her into bushes close to the River Calder.
Detectives said Thursday's incident was 'terrifying' for the victim and believe there may have been a 'sexual motive'.
It happened at around 5.30pm as the local woman was walking alone along the footpath leading from Southfield Street to St Georges Road in Nelson.
As she got close to the footbridge over the river, the man took hold of her arm but she managed to escape and ran across the bridge.
The offender caught up with her and pushed her to the ground where she was assaulted.
The woman managed to kick out and struggled free before her attacker fled towards Southfield Street.
DS Mick Cross from East Division CID said: "This was a terrifying assault on a woman who was out walking on her own.
"We believe there may be a sexual motive to this and are appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time that may have witnessed the incident or saw a man loitering or running away from the area to contact us."
The offender was an Asian man in his late 20s or early 30s. He was 5ft 6ins and of medium build.
It is believed he was wearing a blue tracksuit top with a hood up and matching blue bottoms.
Anyone with information can call police on 101 quoting reference number 999 of June 5 2014.

After watching two prominent evangelical pastors talk for two hours about the importance of civility and Christian decency triumphing during the 2012 presidential campaign, I'm kind of unconvinced.
Progressive leader Jim Wallis and Southern Baptist honcho Richard Land had organized the public "discussion" about faith and politics Wednesday night because they said they're both worried that our desperate desire to create more jobs is squeezing out talk of moral imperatives and religious values.
When the economy is bad, Land told the crowd, "it tends to take up all the oxygen in the room."
And then the two men proceeded to snip at one another about things like the redistribution of wealth and whether Washington or Wall Street is more to blame for the recession.
More than 75 journalists, advocates, Hill staffer types turned up at the National Press Club to hear the men — both prominent, limelight-loving D.C. figures — clarify a muddy issue: What galvanizes evangelical voters these days?
After eight years of a consensus of sorts under George W. Bush (who won about three-quarters of white evangelical voters through two presidential terms), this significant block seems to be breaking into pieces; it's not clear what their core platform is.
But listening to two men who came together precisely to urge a more aggressive search for common ground seemed to prove the point: Things are probably going to be nasty for the next year, and religious voters are going to be right in the mix of it.
The men agreed the climate is bad. Land predicted it might be the "ugliest campaign since 1800," and framed that as being prompted by desperate Obama-ites "who can't win based on his record" so will ostensibly turn to attacking the GOP opponent.
It's not that Wallis and Land didn't find common ground. Indeed they agreed on a variety of things: the wrongness of attacking Mormon theology and requiring Mitt Romney to defend it (Wallis said it will be "hypocritical" for liberals who always call for a clearer separation of church and state to hold Romney accountable for his church's teachings; Land called Mormonism "perhaps the fourth Abrahamic religion"), the importance of preserving foreign aid, investing in cleaner energy, boosting marriage, supporting immigration reform.
But it was impossible to miss, even in that cozy nice room with everyone chatting and eating yummy brownies, the partisan charge that defines our current political climate.
The source of the entire problem, Land spat, is Washington and its power-hungry meddling with industry, including banks that lent money in the housing bubble. It's people "focused obsessively on redistributing wealth."
Wallis insisted the woes disproportionately started with greedy Wall Street, and the Tea Partiers who push for even more deregulation "may be the least Christian option out there," he said.
Teachers' unions, Ayn Rand, health care — in today's climate these are little bombs, and they seemed to me to fall rather loudly at this little talk led by two pastors.

Why Do Mother-in-Laws Make Daughter-in-Laws So Neurotic?
Even when mother-in-laws are friendly with their son's wives, they still manage to drive us crazy!
-Emily Southwood, imarriedapornographer.com
Ever since my in-laws came to stay with us last week and the dust has settled back on our bookshelves, I've been reflecting upon what is it about mother-in-laws that make daughter-in-laws feel scrutinized. Growing up, I remember how my mother became around my grandparents, her in-laws—she sat up straighter, was prone to nervous chatter, hopped up first to clear the table. I always wondered what she was on about as my brother and I sat in our pajamas eating chips and drinking Ginger Ale with our feet propped up on the coffee table. Nanny wasn't judgmental. Or was she?
Now that I'm a DIL myself, I'm beginning to understand the rule of mother and daughter-in-law relationships. Here's an exchange between my MIL and me from last week whilst preparing breakfast.
MIL: "Where's the margarine?"
Me, bounding to her assistance: "Here!" I say, pulling out a brand new, crumb free, container from behind the OJ.
MIL: "Thanks," she says, continuing to poke about in the jam-packed fridge. "Wait, there's an open one right here. Why don't we use this up?"
Me: "Oh," I mumble, "That margarine is kind of, um, gross. I thought I'd put out the new one."
MIL, taking out the old grotty container anyway and buttering away: "That was nice of you."
Now, I have what I consider to be a very good relationship with my MIL. We are friends and lucky to share some key common interests, namely books, fashion and wine. And yet, during the days before my MIL's arrival I found myself running around like a beheaded chicken, doing such things as replacing mildewed sponges, manically scrubbing shower grout, and, yes, buying crumb-free Smart Balance.

While I tidy my house for all houseguests, for my MIL I go next-level antibacterial. I would not, for example, have bothered to scrub the veggie crisper for a visit from my own mom. Then again, the jig is up with her as she's pulled more than one rotten apple from an abandoned backpack over the years and lived through my teenage, bedroom tornado. More likely, I'd have asked her to clean the fridge with me.
I guess it comes down to the fact that as women, we notice things. And as the mothers of the loves of our lives, MIL hold a particular amount of clout. Of course no matter how much attention I put into dusting or purchasing the two percent milk she prefers in her coffee, the law of mother-in-laws dictates that inevitably she will notice something else. For while I was unnecessarily concerned about whether or not my MIL was noting the crumbs in my buttery spread, she was busy remarking on how I'd moved on to the next tub without using up the last. Waste not, want not, or whatnot. What's a daughter-in-law to do?
Alas, the only advice I have for myself is the same one liner I'd have given to my own mother fifteen years ago: Chill out. And yet, when my MIL returns for another visit there isn't a fraction of a doubt that I'll be up at 11 p.m. the night before Swiffering under the guest bed.
And so it goes.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/7/2010 (2592 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
This didn't take long....
The injury to Bomber QB Buck Pierce -- a knee strain that will keep him out for at least this week's game against Edmonton – means the club has airlifted in another pivot for a look-see.
The new guy is former Purdue starter Joey Elliott and he'll be on the field Tuesday as the Bombers prepare for Saturday's home date against the Eskimos. Elliott (6-2, 216) was not selected in April's NFL Draft but signed a free-agent deal with the Philadelphia Eagles before being released.
Elliott was a captain as a senior for the Boilermakers last year and led the squad to an upset victory over Ohio State while throwing for more than 3,000 yards and 22 TDs.
The Bombers will start Steven Jyles with Alex Brink moving up to No. 2 on the depth chart.

More Tales Of A Flatlander by Shannon Albritton
I spoke with my Dad in Pennsylvania yesterday to give him my regular update on what's been happening here in Vermont. My parents have plans to visit us at the end of the month for "Leaf Peeping Season" and Dad is concerned about the roads and the general condition of area. "Will there even be anything to see and do when we get there?" (Silent pause)… hmmm… "Do you mean other than visiting with your favorite daughter and son-in-law?" Joking! Not really.
This question, of course, is common among Vermont-loving Americans outside of our state as our trees prime themselves for their Fall Foliage Spectacular. The media has done an excellent job of communicating our devastation and I mean that sincerely. Yes, many roads and quaint towns have been 'rearranged' by Mother Nature? Perhaps she'd become a bit bored with our landscape and wanted to redecorate? Yet even as I take in the disruption and damage around me I can't stop thinking about its stunning beauty, rearrangement and all.
You see, I've lived in Vermont less than 6 months, which still qualifies me as a tourist and a flatlander. My husband and I are always on the hunt for something interesting to investigate around our new home in Windham County. When our out-of-state friends visit we spring into tour-guide mode. Here in Southern Vermont there are endless options undisturbed by the effects of Irene. Outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and mountain biking are plentiful. Despite the flooding you've seen on the news most everything is still accessible.
A casual stroll through downtown Brattleboro's charming shops, galleries and restaurants can pleasantly fill your day. It's an eclectic and interesting town that some have referred to as the 'San Francisco of the Northeast'. You may even spot a Brattleboro resident walking his pig on a leash down Main Street! I can't make these things up.
If you're lucky to be here for the first Friday of the month don't miss Gallery Walk, a year-round, festive FIRST FRIDAY stroll, 5:30 to 8:30, in downtown Brattleboro, Vt. and nearby locations. The Brattleboro Farmers Market is one of the best I've ever visited and they have the most delicious prepared foods for breakfast and lunch. Take home some Vermont Maple Syrup, savory cheese and locally grown organic apples, veggies and many other Vermont-made treats.
The Southern Vermont Natural History Museum located atop Hogback Mountain in Marlboro is sure to please nature enthusiasts and the 100-mile view from their location is a show-stopper every time. If you're an earlier riser there is no better location than this to watch the sunrise over the vast mountain range.
Adjacent to the Visitors Center Grounds and Hogback Mountain Conservation area you can access an entry-level hiking trail leading to the steel fire tower at the summit of Mt. Olga, Molly Start State Park. Those without a fear of heights (not me) can climb to the top for, what I am told, an incredible sight. Using the Molly Stark State Park Trail Guide you can branch off into a trail system with varying difficulty. Campers at Molly Start Campground can connect Hogback Mountain and the museum via this trail system. Travel just a few miles west toward Wilmington and take 100 north to the Mount Snow base lodge and hop on the Scenic Chairlift Ride. This had been a favorite outing for our guests and I can hardly wait to do ride the lift this fall!
When you're hungry for a great outdoor meal head straight to Wahoo's Eatery in Wilmington where you can upgrade your burger, wrap, sandwich or salad with grass-fed beef or free-range organic chicken. Their Bacon Blue grass-fed Burger is the best in the area. Wahoo's was almost destroyed but with the help of it's community is back on it's feet again and donating 50% of ALL sales to directly to helping the hundreds of people displaced by the historic flooding. Now that's community!
The Official State of Vermont Tourism Site hosts an extensive amount of well-organized information and writes, "The vast majority of the state is accessible and most lodging and dining properties are fully operational and ready to welcome you". Visit their site to learn more about available lodging and activities here in Southern Vermont and points north. All we Vermonters (and Flatlanders) ask is that you have a little patience on our roads, obey the detours and have consideration for our construction, and relief vehicles. Here's a bright side to consider; if you have to drive a little slower and if it takes a little longer that's just more time you'll have to absorb the scenery of the great state of Vermont in all it's splendor and beauty!
Oh wait, before you go… Did I mention we're on tap for the best Fall Foliage Season we've had in years. The leaves on the trees have survived and remain strong, in true Vermont fashion, and this year's Fall Foliage Season looks promising. Many thanks to Irene and Mother Nature… Perhaps too much rain does make some things better.

Anyone know how to make content flow AROUND an absolute positioned div instead of flowing behind it?
well i changed the template for a moment, but at anyrate, if you have an inline UL that has say 400 items in it and thena div tage absolute positioned in the middle of all that, my links run behind it, not around it. And I'm wondering if there is a fix for that?
I'm afraid that can't be done : because the div is AP, it's removed from the flow and other elements don't know it's there because for them the div doesn't exist. They don't interact with it.
Try using float and position the div using margin and or padding.
I see. I'm trying the float and I can get it to the center of the page but the content will not flow around it. I must be hitting this from the wrong approach here.
Hi, to get it to flow around the float you must not float the content you want to wrap it around.
Aka if you have an <img> and you have a <p> text wrapping around it you could float the <img> but don't float the <p> :).
Hi, i'm not sure if i follow, but do you want the links flow around the searchwrapper?
if so, float the wrapper left and give it the margins/padding you want. If you have enough content, it will flow around the wrapper.
Just briefly tested locally in Opera .... i'm in a hurry for the moment
Yes that will work everywhere, assuming no double float margin bug is happening on the wrapper :). That's the logic. Static content flowing around the floated element.
I'm assume the OP knows about that bug and also how to contain floats (for future reference)
If not, the OP just can come back and get our input :lol:

Label Products
Long respected in business tradition, third-party certification provides a credibility advantage in today's increasingly sensitive business climate. According to a GlobeScan Study, 73% of consumers that are aware and familiar with the Fair Trade Certified label also trust it.
The Fair Trade Certified™ label ensures consumers that the farmers and workers behind the product got a better deal. It is more than a certification stamp and more than a seal of approval. It reassures consumers that their purchases are socially and environmentally responsible. It is the end result of a rigorous global inspection and monitoring system.
In order to used the Fair Trade Certified™ label on products, registration with Fair Trade USA is required.
Fair Trade USA makes every effort to protect partners who comply with the certification criteria and Fair Trade standards, as well as consumers who count on its integrity. In some cases, businesses that are not licensed by Fair Trade USA use the term "Fair Trade Certified" or the Fair Trade Certified label on their products. In others, companies registered with Fair Trade USA use the term or label incorrectly. Often, this misuse is simply a mistake. However, misuse of the label harms the integrity of the model for all stakeholders. We ask the help of our registered partners and consumer allies in identifying and reporting instances in which the term "Fair Trade Certified" or the Fair Trade Certified label are displayed in an incorrect or potentially misleading manner.

THE funeral of a decorated Hoylake lifeboatman who survived freezing waters during the Atlantic Convoys of World War Two takes place this week.
Thomas Henry Jones, also known as Harry, was born in 1919 into a seafaring family. His funeral service will be held at St Hildeburgh's Church in Hoylake on Tuesday, June 10, at 11am.
The route to Landican after the service will take in Hoylake Lifeboat where the boat will be out with a guard of honour and then via West Kirby prom to pass the lifeboat and crew there.
Paying tribute to the 94-year-old, Sheila McClennon, who is married to Harry's nephew Mal Jones, said: "He knew the Dee estuary like no one else.
"At his 90th birthday party he made a little speech in which he said 'You can't trust the sea. It will have you at half the chance' and that he'd seen so many drowned during the war that he vowed that no one would drown on his watch, and he was proud to say no one ever did."
Four of Harry's uncles manned the Hoylake lifeboat and after school he worked the Hoylake 'nobbies', fishing for plaice in Liverpool Bay and for shrimps off Hilbre.
He was a Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and called up to the Royal Navy in August 1939. He was in South Africa and the Southern Ocean before joining the Atlantic Convoys in 1941.
His ship, The Comorin was hit off the freezing waters of Iceland and Harry at just 21 was one of the most experienced seaman on board so he was in charge of his life raft.
Sheila continued: "Years later Harry used to tell how he'd urged his soaking wet and terrified crew to row as fast as they could to escape the propeller of the stricken Comorin.
"Even then they were still in danger as huge waves capsized the raft throwing the occupants into the sea. They would then have to swim back and scramble in."
One by one the men were lost until only Harry and three others were left. They were finally picked up by the Liverpool ship Glenartney after eight hours in the water.
Harry then joined the destroyer HMS Malcolm on Convoy P.Q.17 and 18 sailing to Archangel in Russia and also the Mediterranean. After demobilisation, Harry joined West Kirby Sailing Club as boatman in 1945. He stayed there until officially retiring in 1984.
Harry, however, carried on working there every day until he was in his 90s and was a much loved character in the boatshed where friends would visit and take him chocolate cake to have with his tea.
Harry was incredibly strong – his nephew Malcom remembers how he once lifted a blacksmith's anvil above his head and he would often lift a boat using his shoulder or back, with his familiar shout of "Keep her upright, John".
Harry followed his family into the lifeboat.
He was a Hoylake crew member for over forty years and Cox from 1974 – 1981. He was awarded the RNLI bronze medal in 1980 for a rescuing three men from a Catamaran in stormy seas off Hilbre.
He was very proud to represent the RNLI at the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall in 1979, the last representative who had served throughout the Second World War.
He retired from the Hoylake boat aged 55 he went on to crew West Kirby lifeboat many times. He also received a medal from the RSPCA for the rescue of a horse that had got stuck in the mud whilst being ridden at West Kirby.
Sheila McLennon continued: "It was up to its belly in the mud with the tide approaching fast and all efforts to dig it out had failed but Harry twisted its tail and it shot out with minutes to spare.
"He was also a familiar sight every November until shortly before his death at the cenotaph at West Kirby, quietly wearing his numerous medals."
Harry also had a string of fishing boats and was a member of the North Western and North Wales Sea Fisheries Committee and was awarded the MBE in 1987.
Harry's final year was spent at Brimstage Manor Nursing Home. He is survived by wife Annabella, the Londonderry lass he met when stationed in Northern Ireland and to whom he was married for over 66 years.

Did you know that out of 236km of coast all around the island of Gran Canaria, more than 60km are beaches, most of them of gold volcanic sand? You see you have quite a big choice and if you come to holiday in Gran Canaria, you can sunbathe every day on a different one. The ocean temperature is between 18 and 22 degrees on average so it is very inviting for a swim even during the winter months. And if you don't like swimming and relaxing on the sand, you can enjoy a walk on one of the longest beaches of the island:
- Maspalomas 6000m
- Playa del Ingles 2700m
- Las Canteras 2600m
But there are many more beaches with all the facilities and therefore very popular with sunworshippers:
There are also virgin natural beaches a bit further from the touristic areas like Veneguera or Güi-Güi Beach which during certain seasons is only accessible by boat.
If you prefer to explore the coast of Gran Canaria in a different way, not only on the beach, visit our section of Boat trips and then just lay back and let the ocean breeze caress your face!

Galveston Bay Oyster Reef Restoration Project Gets $50,000 SARP/NOAA Grant
HOUSTON — Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) has received a $50,000 grant from the Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership (SARP) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to continue and expand oyster reef restoration in Galveston Bay.
The grant will help fund Phase 2 of the North Shore Eagle Point Oyster Restoration Project, located along the north facing shoreline of Eagle Point near the community of San Leon. Phase 1 of the project created seven patches of oyster reef in shallow near-shore waters between 18th and 15th streets in San Leon, including two patches adjacent to the 18th Street Fishing Pier. Phase 2 will extend the project to the shallow near shore waters between 15th and 9th Streets.
Like the first phase completed in September, Phase 2 will restore at least 2.5 acres of oyster reef habitat, divided up into several smaller patches of reef habitat. The purpose is to improve recreational fishing in the area and to provide other "ecosystem services" from oyster reefs.
The reefs will be located near privately owned piers and in waters currently closed to commercial oyster fishing due to high bacteria counts. The project will seek to enlist local pier owners to act as stewards of the newly created reefs and to grow baby oysters by hanging mesh bags filled with oyster shells from their piers, a process known as "oyster gardening." Gardened oysters will be deposited on top of the reefs after construction is completed to quickly establish an oyster population. None of the oysters produced by the project will be used for human consumption.
One of the primary ecological functions of oyster reefs is water filtration. Oysters feed by filtering tiny plants known as phytoplankton from the water, and a single oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day. This filter feeding also removes silt and contaminants from the water, thus making oyster reefs nature's bio-filters. Oyster reefs also provide habitat for numerous bottom-dwelling fish and invertebrates which are in turn food for larger game fish. Scientists refer to these various functions of oyster reefs, including providing product for the commercial fishing industry, as "ecosystem services".
In addition to SARP and NOAA, TPWD has partnered with the Galveston Bay Foundation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Natural Resources Damage Assessment Trustees (an ad hoc group comprised of representatives from NOAA, USFWS, TPWD, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the Texas General Land Office) on this project and will continue to look for opportunities to continue this type of work in the future. SARP is a coalition of state and federal government agencies operating in the southeastern United States.

Sabi Sabi is a two hour drive from Nelspruit and a 500 kilometre drive from Johannesburg along well-conditioned roads.
Best time to visit
It's always a good time to visit the bush – but during the South African winter is said to be the best time to visit because game viewing visibility is at its best. During the summer months, November to February it can be very hot in the Sabi Sand Reserve.
Around the area
Organised game drives and bush walks are on offer in this Big Five Reserve.
What will it cost
Costs vary from season to season, consult the Sabi Sabi website for updated costing information
Length of stay
A minimum of two nights.
What to pack
Always pack sunscreen, a hat and insect repellent if you are going to the bush.
Where to stay
Stay at Earth Lodge, or choose from three other Sabi Sabi Luxury safari lodges, namely Selati Camp, Bush Lodge and Little Bush Camp.
What to eat
A health menu is available at the spa. Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge is also renowned for its world-class cuisine

HI pentest09
thank you! for "" spark "" psr.exe ....... && .. Your SUITE is phenomenal!
Thanks zim,
I dont know abt phenomenol but its just a bash script using basic techniques with a little imagination. It has all I need , info, wan ips lan ips, webpages, encoding etc and test test test it so it works!!! There needs to be more imaginative ways to use existing tools tailoring them to our needs. The funny thing is i keep it to myself due to encoding and test against AVs installed on Vms so no virus total distributing and most have been FUD for over a year. I make sure everything is 100% masked as genuine, Y make a FUD payload, bind it and give it an icon and then leave old resources in the info or putty pops up when you've just run an adobe-application. It has to be a slight change from the real thing but believable. Ive learnt a lot from this forum over the years hope it sparks up again with fresh ideas, too many ssl.bash or wifi attacks. Trying to get powershell over https working with x86 or x64 there are a few ideas around on the net but non seem to isolate the x86/64 issue im having. Malware will soon be using this method if not already.
Kind Regards Dee

Conventional wisdom would likely conclude that a creative, IT-driven company like DreamWorks Imagination Studios must embrace all of the latest computing trends and that cutting-edge technologies like the cloud, virtualization and solid-state storage play leading roles in its data center.
Conventional wisdom would be mostly wrong.
About 15% of the servers at DreamWorks are virtualized, about 20% of the movie maker's computer-generated image rendering is performed using cloud services, and the company has yet to find a need for solid-state drives, said Mike Cutler, global director of infrastructure operations.

The Inspire: Non-starch Polysaccharide (NSP) Forum, currently being held at Pitlochry in Scotland, saw presentations from industry and academia highlight both the negative and positive effects of dietary NSPs on nutrient utilisation and health in pigs and poultry.
The session began with Professors Hank Classen of the University of Saskatchewan and John Patience of Iowa State University outlining the impact of dietary fibre in poultry and swine respectively. Whilst fibre has the ability to retain water in both species, the level of resulting gut content viscosity differs considerably, and is much more of an issue in poultry.
Professor Patience also explained that up to one third of the energy requirements of mature sows can come from fibre, compared to maybe 3% for poultry. Other key findings presented included a clear variation in the impact of NSPs on gut content viscosity with broiler age and the apparent negative effect of excessive NSP breakdown increasing monosaccharide concentrations.
"The issue of how dietary fibre acts within the gut is a very complex one, with numerous interactions happening throughout the digestive process, and affected by the fibre itself, animal factors and the makeup of the diet," explained Professor Classen. "In terms of improving performance and economic return through NSP enzyme use, I think we've done remarkably well considering!"
Dr Knud Erik Bach Knudsen of Aarhus Universitat took the discussion a stage further, explaining some of the detailed differences between conditions in the pig and poultry intestinal tracts that alter interactions with dietary fibre. The impact of NSPs on gut microbiota was investigated by Alimetric's Dr Juha Apajalahti, who demonstrated the apparent role of butyrate produced from fibre fermentation within the large intestine in improving animal performance.
The challenge facing the industry in getting the fibre balance right was made clear by Professor Ed Moran of Auburn University, who demonstrated the clear link between increased gut viscosity – caused by high levels of soluble long-chain NSPs – and an increased risk of necrotic enteritis. This theme was further developed during the final presentation of the day by AB Vista's Dr Hadden Graham, who explained not only the history of feed enzyme use and the commercial drivers behind it, but also the often unpredictable nature of animal response to NSP enzymes.
"The market today is dominated by xylanase products, but in most of the research we don't know exactly what was delivered to the animal being investigated," he stated. "Rarely are enzyme levels in the finished feed assayed, and we know large changes can take place during mixing and processing, so it is not surprising we sometimes don't get the results we expect.
"There are clear economic gains to be made, but it is also clear that there is still a lot of work to be done."
The final day of the Forum will cover a range of topics relating to the application of exogenous enzymes to overcome the negative effects of NSPs in animal nutrition.

Note: This article contains disturbing content that may be triggering for some readers.
By Jonathon Burch
(Reuters) - It took three long days for 60-year-old Abdullah, his wife and son to hike across the hills to Turkey from their Syrian coastal city of Latakia, stopping only to hide from patrolling soldiers or to eat the sandwiches his wife had prepared for their escape.
When they finally reached their destination - a hole cut in the barbed wire fence that marks the Turkish-Syrian border - the grey-bearded father of eight was hungry, frightened and exhausted.
From his new home inside a Turkish refugee camp just across the border, Abdullah frantically recounts his harrowing journey to safety three days earlier and the horrors that drove his escape - now an all too common tale from the thousands of Syrians fleeing into Turkey.
"The secret police come in groups into our homes and take the women away to the police stations. They tear their clothes off and sexually assault them. Some of them, they rape," said Abdullah, his voice quivering as he speaks.

(Not sure if this is the right section of the forums to ask this)
I've been developing on a Mac and I recently bought a Windows 7 computer. I would like to do testing on IE7 and IE8 but it appears that these versions of Internet Explorer can't be installed on Windows 7. Can anyone confirm this? And if this is true, what do you guys do to test on these old versions? I know that Adobe has something where it can simulate them (all the way down to IE6), but I'd like to do it using the actual browsers if possible.
Virtual Machines. Microsoft still has the image for browser testing freely available.https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11575
I've never installed a virtual machine before. Would you recommend installing it on its own partition or simply in its own directory? I'm not sure how much of a security concern it would be.
Each virtual machine stores all its data inside a single file that appears as if it is a hard drive while you are running that virtual machine. So you don't really need a separate partition for them.
It turns out you can't install a virtual PC and XP mode if you have Windows 7 home premium or lower -- and that's what I have, home premium. Oh well... I guess I'll have to rely on Adobe's Browser Lab.
You could try Oracle Virtual Box instead. That's an alternative program for creating virtual machines that isn't specific to Windows.
You can install Virtual PC on Windows 7 Home Premium. XP Mode as you mentioned is something completely different!.Here is the download link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3702
try VMWARE,Virtual BOX
Note that MS has released all of the IE compatibility VMs for just about every virtualization platform, see http://modern.ie for details.
You could use the developer tools' browser mode switching capability to have IE10 emulate IE7 through IE10.It's not as fool-proof as using a VM, but maybe it'll be sufficient for you.
For this purpose you can use IETester tool. This is a free browser for Windows that allows you to test websites in all versions of IE (IE10, IE9, IE8, IE7, IE6 and IE5.5). It is compatible with Windows 7, Vista and XP.
Those types of tool only allow you to test the appearance of the page. Any scripts will still only run the way they would on one version and scripts behave differently in the different versions of IE.
I've actually encountered some situations where some CSS displayed incorrectly with IETester, but displayed correctly in a real instance of the browser (in a virtual machine).
It's a helpful tool, but it's not perfect.
I don't know about IE7, but IE8 works with Win7. I had IE8 installed up until yesterday, for test purposes (no other reason to use IE, that's for sure!). I know it was definitely IE8 because I checked before updating to IE10.
So IE8 does work on Win 7. In my case it was Win 7 Pro 64. Don't know whether the IE8 was 32 or 64.
I need IE9 for my windows 7
but IE9 is not supporting to my OS (IE7 & IE8 are came by default )
Can any one tell me how to over come this problem
Thanks in Advance
Hi there,
Are you asking how to upgrade your version of IE to that of IE9 on Windows 7?
If so, here are instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/is-is/windows7/how-do-i-install-or-uninstall-internet-explorer-9
Why stop at 9? 10 is out for 7.
Speaking of the modern.ie site, there is a really great deal for a free 3-month trial for browserstack.com.
This may be only a short-term solution for you (that is only for those 3 months) unless you don't mind spending the $39/month fee.
Correction: if you only need IE, this applies to you (from the pricing page):
Only need desktop browsers? Buy a Lite plan for $19/mo. Buy a Lite plan for 1 user & test in 300+ desktop browsers.
The browser numbers are inflated though, I mean I don't see much of a point in testing your site in older versions of Chrome or Firefox (I guess for Firefox it might make sense in corporations).
I've been playing with the free trial for a while and it seems really awesome and very easy to use and if I was doing web development more professionally, it would be definitely worth investing into this tool. (Right now I'm more of a hobbyist with an occasional gig, so I'll probably look for other/free solutions soon.)
modern.ie has versions of IE from IE6 through IE11 available that can be run in any of several VMs so just about every computer can run them.
You can have IE6 on Windows XP and IE11 on Windows 8.1 running in VMs on any version of Windows, Linux or Mac.
This is the tool I use. It's pretty ugly, but it does the trick when I need to work with legacy systems that require an older version of IE.

Anti-aging aspects are everywhere in beauty—face creams and foundations to nutrient supplements and beyond. Although new anti-aging ingredients are introduced all the time, this market segment is also widening its reach by further developing the idea of what makes for youthful skin, as well as what audience anti-aging beauty products should target.
Anti-aging is no longer just about reducing fine lines and minimizing wrinkles. The trick for youthful, healthy skin also lies in skin that is hydrated, evenly toned and textured, and supple. "Even though no two people are alike in their wants and needs for skin care, studies show that today's consumer wants a product that addresses all seven signs of aging: dehydration, fine lines, wrinkles, skin discoloration, large pores, loss of elasticity and fullness. The product that can address all of these issues and make a consumer's dollar go farther will be a forerunner," says Jessica Sappenfield, general manager of Cellure Stem Cell Skin Care.
Additionally, anti-aging beauty products aren't just for baby boomers anymore. Preventive skin maintenance is a huge trend right now, so even young consumers are being identified as potential targets for anti-aging products. "Our target market is anyone over 20," says Detlef R. Fuhrmann, president and CEO of Immupure LLC, a skin care line that uses colostrum, a nutrient found in the pre-milk produced by mammals. "You have to start protecting and preserving the skin early in order for it to look and stay healthy, and although we have many, many customers in the 35–40 and older age range, if you don't start using good moisturizer and skin care products and habits in your 20s, it's much harder to maintain good skin."
Eric Bernstein, MD, a dermatologic laser surgeon and founder of the LaseResults skin care line, who has studied the biology of skin for more than 20 years, notes that good anti-aging ingredients need to address the right problems. "You have to understand the science of what is going wrong in the skin," he says. "Photodamage hurts the skin directly while in the sun, then over time due to chronic inflammation. To correct that, you want a combination of ingredients that will protect the skin from any detrimental effects and also stimulate the repair process."
Sappenfield adds, "A good anti-aging ingredient should not only be effective in reversing the signs of aging, but also help prevent further damage. Day after day, your skin is attacked by environmental elements such as pollution, sun and temperature, and that makes protection key."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A woman died and her husband was critically injured Tuesday when a car slammed into a fruit stand at the intersection of Moncrief Road and Edgewood Avenue.
Channel 4's Tarik Minor was told a Lincoln Towncar ran a red light on Moncrief, left the road and struck the fruit stand just before 4 p.m.
Julia Baltierra, 54, was trapped under the car and had to be rescued from underneath the car. She later died at a hospital. Police said she was tending to the fruit stand when she was hit.
A witness said the car was making a strange noise before the accident. Witnesses said the car was driving erratically just before the crash, and police said they believe the driver may have had a medical emergency, which caused the crash.
The driver of the car was in good condition Tuesday night at Shands Jacksonville Medical Center. The man who was hit by the car was in critical condition at Shands on Tuesday night.
Jacksonville Sheriff's Office traffic homicide detectives were investigating the crash.

It is not all that often that I get to indulge in "luxury?" foods nowadays. Now and then, I just have to get my fix.
I began this burger with a very lean, freshly ground chuck (nice to know a friendly butcher). Then I marinated the 1/3 lb paddy in olive oil, aged balsamic vinegar, and mined garlic for 4 hours. (I waited till it hit the grill before I seasoned it with coarse ground s&p).
I present the toppings-- red cabbage, tomatoes, pickles, red onion, and Deluxe American cheese.
Off to the pit. I chose to grill this burger indirect over medium low heat, about 12 minutes per side.
Brushed the buns with olive oil and melted the cheese. The roll came out nice and crisp.
Time to assemble and plate. The roll is a hearty and wholesome 7-grain. For "secret sauce," I went with the Lea & Perrins Classic THICK sauce--pours like a steak sauce, and lends fantastic flavor to a burger. So I got my burger and fry fix, and this one was absolutely delicious.

It's been a busy end of the year for me and I'm sure I'm not the only one anticipating a little break. It'll be a short one for me, however, but even a few days off are more than welcome. I am hoping to spend some time just sitting outside, on the balcony, with a cool drink in hand, reading a good book. The drink of choice for me would have to be this cool rhubarb glögg - a spiced drink made to remind me of Christmas, but adapted to season's demands.
I adore rhubarb, I'm sure you've realised that by now, and this drink is for all you die-hard rhubarb lovers out there. It's completely sugar-free, so prepare yourself for some real rhubarb flavour pared with warming spices and a drizzle of lemon juice to freshen it all up. I am more than happy to pour myself a glass of this with lots of ice, lift my feet up and bury my head in a book.
Cool rhubarb glögg
(serves 2)
500g rhubarb, chopped
1 cinnamon stick
2 star anis
5 whole cloves
5 cardamom pods, slightly crushed
knob of fresh ginger, peeled and cut into slices
1/2 lemon, juiced
ice, to serve
1. Place the rhubarb, spices and ginger in a saucepan and add about 1 litre of water. Bring the mixture to boil, then leave to simmer for about 15 minutes.
2. Drain the juice into a bowl and leave to cool.
3. Drizzle with lemon and serve cool with ice.

Title: Old Poison
Series: Dangerous Ground, #2
Author: Josh Lanyon
Genre: Romantic Suspense, M/M Romance
Sensuality Rating: Erotic
Source: review copy from author
Published: November 2011
Special Agents for the Department of Diplomatic Security, Taylor MacAllister and Will Brandt have been partners and best friends for three years, but everything changed during a weeklong camping trip. Now Taylor and Will are trying to see if true love is in the cards or if it's just sex. Really, really good sex, granted!
But when Taylor receives a cobra bottled in rice wine for the birthday he nearly didn't live to see, Will fears that something in Taylor's past—something Taylor won't talk about—is going to put an end to their chance of a future romance. Or any future at all.
Reviewed By: J9
In a Nutshell: Taylor and Will are back and even yummier as they figure out what it means to be a couple. The romantic suspense is fast paced and kept even my tiny attention span.
The Set Up: Taylor and Will are back from their near disastrous camping trip and Taylor is recovering from being shot. While Taylor and Will just want to celebrate Taylor's birthday someone else is plotting his death.
Why I Read this Book: I love Taylor and Will from novella one of the series so continuing to read was a must.
What I Liked: This sexy duo is charming in and out of the bedroom. I like my erotic romance to have as much heart as heat and this novella offers that. Taylor and Will spend time doing couple-things such as going out to eat after a long work week, fixing Taylor's house and just spending a lazy Sunday together. I like this exploration of a gay couple who aren't solely about sex, just as it is with hetro couples.
What I Also Liked: I'm not normally a romantic suspense fan. I'm the spoilsport who wants to know whodunit from page one but this novella kept my attention from beginning to end. I really like how the mystery plot of who's after Taylor is rooted in his past that he doesn't want to share with Will thus forcing him to share.
The other thing I like about this novella is the realism. In a lot of romance real life is suspended. For instance, have you ever read of a hostage peeing themselves because they weren't allowed a bathroom break? Likely not. But this novella offers that realism of imperfect but compelling characters doing things real people would in tough situations. For me this showcases true storytelling which includes an erotic romance and not just an erotic romance.
What I Didn't Like: I know this is a series so I'm not too upset that there are some unresolved issues with Will's ex-boyfriend who still has the hots for him but some readers may dislike that. I suspect I'll get more resolution about this in future novellas and that just whets my appetite to read the next.
IMO: This is another great addition to the Dangerous Ground series.

Remember the days when you dreamt of a foundation that pretty much did it all? I think I discovered it ladies! Yup! And it's none other than COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation. The NEW long-lasting formula is primer, concealer, and foundation in one!
I discovered this fabulous foundation a few weeks ago when a makeup artist used it on me for a shoot. The next day I went to an event where one of my favorite makeup artist Luis Casco was on hand. He gave us the inside scoop and helped us find our shade. Then we got to give ourselves a mini-makeover!
The first thing I want to say is that I've tried a lot of foundations, but this has got to be one of the best I've used. Yes, I do have an oily T-zone with normal to oily skin. And before I apply foundation, I make sure to apply moisturizer. So that's kind of a double strike. Normally, my skin is oily after an hour. But, not with COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation ($9.49 at Target). There was need to set it with a powder either.
This past weekend I went to Universal Studios Hollywood theme park and spent the entire day walking from ride to ride. Not once did I have to apply powder. My skin never felt oily. This is by no means a matte foundation. It leaves a natural and healthy look. Make sure you find your perfect shade. I'm using #855 Soft Honey. I've heard it does dry a little darker, so be careful with that.
Check out a few pics from the event below!
This foundation is available in 14 shades and it will be my "go-to" foundation. It is also available in 14 shades from the COVERGIRL Queen Collection All Day Flawless Foundation. I love that it's offered for a total of 28 different skin tones. Yay! It does offer an SPF of 20 and the pump is a big plus too. Since we all have different skin types, I suggest checking out YouTube for reviews to see how it worked on others.
Normally, I apply with my fingers, but I want to invest in a great foundation brush. Any recommendations?
Disclosure: I received a gift bag at this event. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/12/2012 (1722 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If you have ever wanted to Go Your Own Way and see Fleetwood Mac live, you will be able to do so on May 12, 2013 at the MTS Centre.
The rock band, whose biggest hits included Go Your Own Way and Rhiannon, will perform at the MTS Centre as one of the stops on a major 34-city North American tour dubbed Fleetwood Mac Live 2013.
Tickets for all Canadian dates will go on sale Dec. 17, with more details to follow in the coming days.
This tour will mark the 35th anniversary of the release of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album (1977), one of the most successful albums in recorded history with sales exceeding 40 million copies. Rumours was at the top of the pop charts for over 31 weeks and had four top-ten singles.
The current Fleetwood Mac lineup includes Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, both original members since 1967, as well as Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks who joined the band in 1975.
"Having started Fleetwood Mac with John McVie in 1967, it has always been so gratifying that despite the various incarnations, the band has survive," Mick Fleetwood said in a media release. "Throughout the years, though, the one thing that has remained constant is our fans. I am looking forward to getting back behind the kit, reconnecting with the fans and sharing the stage with my fellow band members."
Fleetwood Mac last toured in 2009 with the sold-out Unleashed tour which stopped in Winnipeg on June 6, 2009.

Somerset County Premier
Middlezoy Rovers 1, Clevedon United 3
MIDDLEZOY surrendered a 1-0 half-time lead to go down 3-1 to in-form Clevedon United.
Dan Luce fired 'Zoy into the lead on 30 minutes, but United fought back with three second-half goals to turn the tables and condemn the hosts to a first defeat of the season.
Middlezoy looked comfortable in the early stages and were exploiting gaps in the visitors defence, but some wasteful finishing prevented the early goal.
Dan Luce did finally open the scoring from distance, his shot cannoning in off bar and post, to give Middlezoy a deserved lead on 30 minutes.
Trailing at the break Clevedon changed their formation and quickly found an equaliser through Mike Purnell on 52 minutes against the run of play.
Their second goal was assisted by Purnell, who found an unmarked Dan Fowler for a tap in.
Now undeservedly trailing, Middlezoy started taking more risks going forward - Smith, Wright and Temlett all missing chances to level the scores.
However, the ultimate sucker-punch came five minutes from time when a break from the visitors led to a corner which was headed in powerfully by Luke Gibson to make it 3-1.
Middlezoy will be in league action again on Friday evening at the Tannery Ground, Street in an 8pm kick off.
Star Man: Dan Luce (Middlezoy Rovers) Team: SBaker, SBone (CLintell), TBrown (JDoyle), JBennett, LTurner (STurner), CTucker, DJennings, DLuce, ASmith, JTemlett, CWright.

The first time I got a Hall of Fame ballot, in December 2006, Mark McGwire's name was on it. I stewed long and hard over McGwire, wondering what to do with a player who had put up Hall of Fame numbers, most likely with the help of performance enhancing drugs. I ended up not voting for McGwire that year.
Then, as I was perusing the ballot a year later, the Mitchell Report came out. As I read through the document and saw the dozens of names linked to PEDs, it hit me: Steroid use was far more widespread than anyone could have guessed. It was impossible to assume that anyone who played in that era was clean.
So I voted for McGwire, as I have done every year since.
This year, I cast votes for Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens without hesitation. After all, there was no research to be done to determine that their performances warranted induction into the Hall of Fame. The only question was whether to hold their assumed steroid use against them, and I had decided that day five years ago that I wasn't going to do that.
My policy on the alleged PED users is simple. I'm not going to guess at drawing a line that no one seemed to be willing to draw at the time these guys were playing. I'm not going to try to retroactively clean up a sport that showed no interest in keeping itself clean.
No one — not the players, not the owners, not the general managers, not the media, not the fans, not the team trainers — was willing to stand up and do anything to stop players from using PEDs. As owners paid big money to juiced up players and as fans paid to watch them hit, the message to the players was clear: Take whatever you want and we'll all be rich.
A generation before, players routinely took amphetamines. You can argue that amphetamines don't improve performance as much as steroids, but the distinction is one of science, not integrity or character.
In 2005, Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt said, "If I had played during that era, I would have taken steroids." In 2009, Hall of Famer Bob Gibson said, "Guys have always been cheating. Period. … I'm just glad they didn't have steroids when I was playing. I'm not sure what I would have done."
So it's difficult for me weigh "character" or "integrity" too heavily, especially when the Hall is already dotted with racists and criminals and Gaylord Perry. It's also unfair to judge players against a line of morality that keeps moving. Those "greenies" that were a clubhouse joke 50 years ago get you a 50-game suspension today. The steroids that we so desperately want to vanquish today were of such little consequence 15 years ago that no one did anything to get them out of the game.
It's only fair to judge players in the context of the time in which they played. Bonds and Clemens played in the steroid era, and they were the best players in that era. That's good enough for my Hall of Fame vote.
