Sally Hansen Lacquer Shine Lipgloss
Sally Hansen Lacquer Shine Lipgloss Reviews
Just No...This is one of the stickiest, nastiest-textured lip glosses I've ever owned. I absolutely hated the texture, which is a true shame because the colors were beautiful. I owned this in Iris, Hibiscus, and Dahlia. The two darker shades were a lovely color, but I simply could not get past how tacky and awful they felt on my lips. — 2 years, 1 month agoSomeGeekyGirl | 116 reviews
Ugh!It's so sticky! Lipgloss are supposed to be apply and go type of thing. I hate having to blot and check to make sure that the color is still there. I'm more of a no muss, no fuss, grab and go type of girl. I don't want to have to be checking in a mirror every time I apply this gloss. You might as well be wearing a lipstick. I do like the color I picked but that's pretty much it. :( — 7 years, 1 month agoAhan1125 | 31 reviews
Love the color, but have to reapply oftenI also love the Peony color. It's somewhat sticky but the color pay off is worth it. Makes my lips feel smooth. But I have to reapply it like every 15 minutes because it seems to disappear from my lips quickly. — 7 years, 5 months agoToTheMoon | 130 reviews

OverviewGeographical Classification: Eastern Alps > Gailtal Alps > Lienz Dolomites > Kleine Gamswiesenspitze
When hiking along the North South Traverse of the Lienz Dolomites we reached the highest point, the Kerschbaumer Törl Pass, none of us would have thought that the tower looming over the pass on its southern side was one of the main climbing destinations of the Lienz Dolomites. Even after the scramble to the top along the marked trail along its southern slope nothing would reveal it. Ok, there might have been a bolt or two but I was too distracted by the great lookout into the heart of the Lienz Dolomites to really see them.
And yes, a great lookout peak it is, Kleine Gamswiesenspitze. It is located at the centre of the Lienz Dolomites mountain range as one of a quadruplet of peaks lined up on the western side of the Laserzbach Valley. It is not the highest one as its name implies - beside Kleine (little) Gamswiesenspitze to the north you can find Grosse (big) Gamswiesenspitze. The other two summits are Kerschbaumer Törlkopf to the south of the quadruplet and Blosskofel to its north.
The central location and its elevation make the peak a good one to look out from (I must have said this somewhere before). To the east you'll find the Laserzgroup with Laserzwand, Roter Turm and Sandspitzen. To the east there are the wide Kerschbaumer Tal and Hallebachtal Valleys which are flanked by Weittalspitze, Kreuzkofel and Spitzkofel. The normal route along the southern flank is rated II while the climbing route has pitches of up to grade IV-.
Climbing Kleine GamswiesenspitzeWhile the southern ascent from Kerschbaumer Törl is a steep scramble reaching UIAA II only in a couple of places there is a serious climbing route along the north-eastern edge. It is a 250m, 7 pitch route rated UIAA IV-. You can find infos on the following two pages, both in German with topos:
Neighbouring Große Gamswiesenspitze and Bloßkofel can be reached by a ferrata, which is decribed (again in German) here:
Clicking on this topo will take you to www.styria-alpin.at
Views from the summit
To prove that the mountain is on of the best lookouts of the Lienz Dolomites here a handful of pictures taken in all directions.
Getting ThereThere are two trailheads to the north of the Lienz Dolomites, Lienzer Dolomitenhütte and Klammbrückl. Both are quite near to each other but separated by an elevation difference of 500m The higher and thus easier starting point is Lienzer Dolomitenhütte.
From the West (Brenner Motorway A22)
Leave the Brenner Motorway near Brixen / Bressanone and follow SS49 to the east through Pustertal / Val Pusteria. To the east of Innichen / San Candido you cross the Austrian - Italian border and follow the road (now B100) to Burgfrieden. For Klammbrückl turn right (east) here onto a side road, which you follow to its end at the Klammbrückl parking lot. For Lienz and the trailhead at Lienzer Dolomiten Hütte remain on B100 until you reach the city. Here turn right, direction Tristach and cross the Drau River to its southern side. From Tristach the "Dolomitenstrasse" the road into the Lienz Dolomites, is marked by signposts. Follow this road (toll!!) until you reach Lienzer Dolomitenhütte.
From the North
There are two possible roads:
- From Kitzbühel over B108 through the Felbertauern Tunnel to Lienz, then southwest to Burgfrieden and left onto the side road to Klammbrückl (Klammbrückl trailhead) or south to Tristach and "Dolomitenstrasse" as described above (Lienz trailhead)
- From Salzburg along motorway A10 to Spittal. Turn west on B100 to Görtschach, where you turn south towards Lavant and on to Tristach (Lienz trailhead) or go on to Burgfrieden and the sideroad (see above) (Klammbrückl trailhead).
From the South (Udine)
Take Motorway A23 to the exit Camia Tolmezzo. Follow SS52 north to Tolmezzo where you turn onto SS52 bis. This leads to Plöckenpass, where it crosses the Austrian-Italian border. In Austria the road turns into B100 and at Oberdrauburg turn west (still B100) to Görtschach etc.
Red TapeThere's no red tape here. Dogs have to be kept on leash because of grazing sheep but that is about all. Don't camp, rather use the huts (Karlsbader Hütte or Kerschbaumer Schutzhütte) which are an hour away at most.
When To ClimbThe best time is June through late September. Winter climbs might be possible but you need to be experienced to climb a summit this steep.
AccommodationFree camping in the group is discouraged in the Lienz Dolomites. There are quite a number of refuges all over the Lienz Dolomites (see the Mountain Huts and Refuges Section on the Lienz Dolomites Page) so it should be not neccesary to pitch a tent. If you are looking for hotel rooms or apartments follow one of the links below
Weather ConditionsThe Lienz Dolomites are located directly on the border between the two Austrian states Carinthia and East Tyrol, so for a weather report look at one of the pages below:

Cask; Special.
The guys at Odell Brewing Co., Fort Collins, Colorado, visited us last year as part of a whistle stop tour of various breweries up and down the country and were kind enough to invite us to have dinner with them that evening. As we sat and ate and drank, we talked about a lot of things, including baseball and cricket, but we mostly talked about beer. Fast forward a few months to the end of last year and we were delighted when Doug Odell, founding brewer of Odell Brewing Co., sent us an email asking if we'd like to brew a beer with him. A question that took a nanosecond to respond to… yes! Several months and various emails later, Doug joined us at the Brewery for a couple of days to finalise the recipe and brew the beer. The Accomplice is a pale ale as prepared for India that's been brewed using six different varieties of hops, crammed into almost every possible part of the brewing process, to create intense floral and fruit aromas, backed up by a balanced level of bitterness. When we suggested the name to Doug, his response was, "It sounds kinda sinister… I like it!" So, there we have it, The Accomplice is currently fermenting away and will be available in cask for a limited period from the beginning of July. We hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoyed brewing it!

Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue capped two gas leaks in two days at separate construction sites, officials said.
The first occurred around 8:40 a.m. Thursday when a two-inch metal gas line was ruptured during a dig at a construction site at 1600 E. Sunrise Blvd. The second happened just before 3 p.m. Friday when a one-inch line was cut by construction equipment in the 700 block of Northeast Fourth Avenue, fire officials said.
A construction worker was taken to Broward Health Medical Center with undisclosed injuries on Thursday. There were no reported injuries in Friday's incident, investigators said.
In both cases a Fire Rescue hazardous materials team used specialized tools and an expansion plug to cap the leaks. Firefighters then monitored the air to detect any dangerous concentrations of natural gas in the area, officials said.
Once deemed safe, crews from TECO Gas made permanent repairs to the gas lines.

It happens when veins don't properly bring blood back to the heart and it can lead to large painful wounds that can last weeks, months or even years. It's believed up to two million Americans suffer from it.
Live human cells could help spray away the problem.
"It was just a fingernail scratch, wasn't nothing major."
That little scratch turned into a big problem for Jessica Riley. "It was almost instantaneously, bigger than I could have ever imagined."
She developed a chronic venous leg ulcer. "It was very painful."
Jessica lived with the open wound for almost two years. "You could imagine having to take care of this thing 24/7 and if it's not healing, you'd be pretty depressed."
Director of UNC's Wound Healing Center, Doctor William Marston, is testing a new spray on patients. "The hope is that it will accelerate the healing process."
The spray is unique because, "It's living human cells."
The cells release growth factors into the wound that spur tissue regeneration. In phase two clinical trials, wounds treated with the spray had a 52-percent greater chance of healing compared to wounds treated with compression bandages.
Jessica was in the study. While she doesn't know if she got the real spray or a placebo, her ulcer went from this, to this in seven weeks. "I was like, wow!"
Today, Jessica's wound is still discolored, but completely closed. The doctor tells us there have been no significant side effects with the cellular spray. Additional trials are underway.

Conceptualizing Sustainably Produced Food for Promotional Purposes: A Sustainable Marketing Approach
Progress in transforming current food consumption and production practice in a sustainable direction is slow. Communicative, sustainable consumer policy instruments such as eco-labeling schemes have limited impact outside the green segment and within the mainstream market. This article asks how sustainably produced food can be described in order to promote such food. Based on six cases, it aims to conceptualize the common denominators of sustainable food production by drawing on recent literature on sustainable marketing and on food and sustainable development. Contradictions and implications in terms of labeling schemes, global sourcing and consumer food practice are discussed.

SUMMARY: This document contains final regulations relating to the health insurance premium tax credit enacted by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. These final regulations provide guidance to individuals related to employees who may enroll in eligible employer-sponsored coverage and who wish to enroll in qualified health plans through Affordable Insurance Exchanges (Exchanges) and claim the premium tax credit.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Effective date: These regulations are effective on
Applicability date: For date of applicability, see
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document contains final regulations that amend the Income Tax Regulations (26 CFR part 1) under section 36B of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) regarding whether health coverage under an employer-sponsored plan is affordable for individuals who are eligible to enroll in the plan by reason of their relationship to an employee (related individuals).
Explanation of Provisions and Summary of Comments
The proposed regulations provided that, for taxable years beginning before
These final regulations adopt the proposed rule without change. The language of section 36B, through a cross-reference to section 5000A(e)(1)(B), specifies that the affordability test for related individuals is based on the cost of self-only coverage. By contrast, section 5000A, which establishes the shared responsibility payment applicable to individuals for failure to maintain minimum essential coverage, addresses affordability for employees in section 5000A(e)(1)(B) and, separately, for related individuals in section 5000A(e)(1)(C). Thus, proposed regulations under section 5000A, which the
Effective/Applicability Date
These final regulations apply to taxable years ending after
Special Analyses
This Treasury decision is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866, as supplemented by Executive Order 13563. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required. Section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to these regulations, and, because the regulations do not impose a collection of information requirement on small entities, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) does not apply. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Code, the notice of proposed rulemaking that preceded these final regulations was submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the
Drafting Information
The principal authors of these final regulations are
List of Subjects in 26 CFR Part 1
Income taxes, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
Adoption of Amendments to the Regulations
Accordingly, 26 CFR part 1 is amended as follows:
Paragraph 1. The authority citation for part 1 continues to read in part as follows:
Authority: 26 U.S.C. 7805 * * *
Par. 2. Section 1.36B-2 is amended by revising paragraphs (c)(3)(v)(A)( 2) and (c)(3)(v)(D), Example 2, to read as follows:
* * * * *
(c) * * *
(3) * * *
(v) * * *
( 2) Affordability for related individual. Except as provided in paragraph (c)(3)(v)(A)( 3) of this section, an eligible employer-sponsored plan is affordable for a related individual if the portion of the annual premium the employee must pay for self-only coverage does not exceed the required contribution percentage, as described in paragraph (c)(3)(v)(A)( 1) of this section.
* * * * *
Example 2. Basic determination of affordability for a related individual.
The facts are the same as in Example 1, except that C is married to J and X's plan requires C to contribute
* * * * *

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury (Tax Policy).

With both the president and the vice president together for a rare joint interview - part of the president's recent interview with CBS News chief White House correspondent Major Garrett - Garrett inquired about the future.
"The optics of this will be viewed by some through the prism of 2016," Garrett told Biden about his appearance with Mr. Obama in Pennsylvania Wednesday. "That's going to be true whatever you do the moment you declare whether you're a candidate or not. Does that change your ability to work on behalf of this president?"
Biden said there is nothing he would do differently. He added, "If I absolutely knew I wasn't going to run or I absolutely knew I was, there's nothing I'd do differently over the next seven, eight, 10 months. We have a very important job to do. The president, his agenda, is one I strongly believe in, and we have upcoming elections in 2014.
"If I decide to run, believe me, this'll be the first guy I talk to," Biden said, referring to Mr. Obama. "But that decision hasn't been made, for real, and there's plenty of time to make that. We have a lot of work to do between now and November."
Garrett asked the president how this all filters into his daily life.
Mr. Obama replied, "I've got somebody who I think will go down as one of the finest vice presidents in history, and he has been ... a great partner in everything that I do. I suspect that there may be other potential candidates for 2016 who have been great friends and allies. I know that we've got an extraordinary secretary of state who did great service for us and worked with me and Joe to help make the country safer."
Mr. Obama continued, "Whoever the Democratic standard bearer is, is going to be continuing to focus on jobs, making sure that our kids are getting a great education, making sure that we're rebuilding prosperity from the middle class out in this country - and I am very much interested in making sure that some of the stuff we've gotten started continues."
Pressed whether the candidate Mr. Obama was describing would be running for a third term or extension of the Obama presidency, the president said, "I don't necessarily want to jam them up. We all are part of this relay race, whether we're vice presidents, presidents. The truth is, is that we build off of what folks have done previously, and in some cases, that includes Republican presidents.
"That's the beauty of our democracy," he said. "It keeps on evolving, and I'm sure that there are going to be some things that, whoever the next president is, want to continue, there are going to be some things, I'm sure, that they're going to want to do differently, but the trajectory hopefully is going to be one in which we're broadening opportunity for every American."
The president did not, in the end, say whether he would endorse Biden or anyone else. He's keeping himself out of the race, but clearly, Garrett added, Biden will play an important policy role this year at the White House and will campaign extensively for Democrats in the midterm elections, which will keep speculation about him in 2016 very much alive.

Lugar likes Iowa FB's call for reform
Indiana Senator Richard Lugar, who proposed scrapping antiquated programs during both the 2002 and 2007 Farm Bill debates, and replacing them with crop specific revenue-based and whole farm revenue-based insurance, is welcoming the Iowa Farm Bureau's policy recommendation calling for an end to direct subsidy payments and moving instead to basing farm programs on revenue based insurance.
"I am encouraged by Iowa Farm Bureau endorsing farm program reforms. All farmers face risks, not just those covered by our current programs. The next farm bill debate in 2012 will require us to respond to our runaway deficit and cut costs. Revenue insurance is the best way to do that while enhancing trade opportunities and not distorting market prices," Lugar said.

Intel to show long-awaited 'Brookdale' chip set in Taiwan, say sources
Post a comment
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Look for Intel Corp. this week to show samples of its long-awaited chip set line that supports SDRAM memory for the Pentium 4 microprocessor, according to sources.
At this week's Computex trade show in Taipei, Taiwan, Intel is expected to show samples of its code-named "Brookdale" chip set series. The chip set, to be called the 845 by Intel, will be supported by several Taiwanese motherboard makers, according to sources in the country.
In fact, Giga-Byte Technology Inc., one of Taiwan's largest board makers, is expected to show several products based on the 845, insiders said.
Santa Clara-based Intel has been sampling Brookdale for months, but the company insists that it won't officially ship the product until later this year.
The chip set could give the Pentium 4 a major boost. At present, Intel's Pentium 4 processor works with its so-called 850 chip set. But the 850 only support Rambus Inc.'s RDRAM memory technology.

London, Jan 11 (ANI): Adele is set to make her first appearance since giving birth at this year's Oscars after getting nominated for the award for Best Song with single 'Skyfall.'
The Grammy winning singer took to her Twitter account to say just how chuffed she is with the nomination.
"Oh my god I feel like Meryl Streep!! Thank you," the Mirror quoted her as writing.
Adele's James Bond theme tune shot to number one when it was released, and is tipped to take the prestigious award in February's ceremony.
It's up against 'Before My time' from Chasing Ice, 'Pi's Lullaby' from Life Of Pi, 'Suddenly' from Les Miserables and 'Everybody Needs a Best Friend' from Ted. (ANI)

But it isn't just higher taxes that make these so-called progressive states less attractive to business. Red states Texas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, West Virginia, Montana and North Dakota (and a few blue states like Ohio and Pennsylvania) are getting rich from oil and gas drilling. Meanwhile, bluer-than-blue New York has extended its moratorium on the technological advance behind the boom, hydraulic fracturing, citing overblown environmental hazards, and Vermont has outlawed it altogether. California's regulations prohibit nearly all new drilling of any kind.
Moreover, the entire Northeast and West Coast is anti-right-to-work, meaning that workers employed in unionized workplaces may be required to join the union and pay dues that might go toward political causes they disagree with. Most of these blue states also have super-minimum wage laws that price low-income workers out of the job market.
All the empirical evidence shows that raising a state's tax burden weakens its tax base. Still, too many blue-state lawmakers believe that a primary purpose of government is to redistribute income from rich to poor, even if those policies make everyone, including the poor, less well off. The obsession with "fairness" puts growth secondary.

Commission for Dark Skies
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Commission for Dark Skies (CfDS) (Formerly the Campaign for Dark Skies. The name was changed on March 29th 2015.) is the United Kingdom's largest anti-light-pollution campaign group forming part of the international dark-sky movement.
It is run by the British Astronomical Association[1] (BAA) and affiliated with the International Dark-Sky Association[2] (IDA), and composed of a network of local officers (and other members) who try to improve lighting in their areas and advise local people.
The campaign was founded in 1989 by amateur astronomers as a sub-section of the BAA specialising in combatting skyglow.[3] It is now open to non-members of the BAA, includes lighting engineers and environmentalists, and campaigns on the wider effects of light pollution.
CfDS's work with the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee on legislating against light pollution has resulted in the government including provisions in their Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill.[4][5]
Dark Sky Park, Island and Reserve[edit]
Members of the CfDS have been involved in the following International Dark-Sky Association designations:
- Galloway Forest Park - Dark Sky Park (2009) [6]
- Sark - IDA's first international dark-sky island (Silver tier) (2011)[7][8]
- Exmoor - Dark Sky Reserve (2011)[9]

A/n: Thank you so much to everyone that's reviewing, I love you all for it! It will all make sense in time, this chapter was kind of a filler to build up the tension ;) Thank you so so so much again! I never thought that this story would get this many reviews, I appreciate it so much you have no idea! I love you! ~x~
Chapter 8: Why is it always me?
"And through it all,
How could you cry for me?
Cause I don't feel bad about it.
So shut your eyes,
Kiss me goodbye,
And sleep.
Just sleep.
The hardest part is letting go of your dreams."
Sleep - MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE3
I crawled over to a bench and sat there in the heat, sweat was dripping down my face as the panic rose as the seconds went by. Where was Michael? Shouldn't he have been here by now? How much time had passed...
Only two minutes. Oh my God. I was beginning to go insane. My mind wouldn't shut up! Just shut up! I screamed at myself and doubled over, falling off the bench and clutching my knees to my chest. I closed my eyes and that was a mistake.
I blacked out instantly.
The main building of the Morganville University was a dump. And I've been to some pretty horrid places over the years but this, it didn't even deserve to be called a University. I grumbled, muttering random nonsense that wasn't making much sense in my head as I walked down the halls looking for my young apprentice; Claire.
I needed her to assist me with something and she wasn't answering her communication device. I never understood all of the latest technology. It took ages for Claire to teach me how to switch on the bloody thing, let alone use it. But I managed to dial her number earlier and rang her in a panicked state.
Wait a second...I stopped in my tracks and looked out of the window in the hallway. A girl was curled up in the middle of the floor outside next to a bench, why would she do such a thing? Didn't she hear of vampires? I decided to be the good citizen that I am and go and check it out.
I blurred over to her, the sun already taking effect as soon as I stepped out. I scooped her up in my arms and ran to the shade in a corner. It was Claire! Alas!
"Claire?" I asked, laying her on the ground and looking her up and down to check for any damage. She had a little blood pooling out of her skull which was dampening her hair, and she had a few drops of blood on her face. What had ever happened to her?
"C-Claire?" I repeated myself, shaking her gently, careful to not be too harsh on her. I listened carefully. A heartbeat. Thank the Lord. But it was faint. I brushed the back of my hand across her cheek and let out a sigh of relief, thank God that I was here. I don't know what would have happened if I didn't turn up. Oliver may have come out for an early-morning snack. Or any newborn vampire for that matter, if they wanted to risk getting burnt in the sun that was.
I heard the sound of loud footsteps and in a second I was thrown to the side by a blonde haired man. Ah, it was Mr. Glass. I recovered and sighed at him as he started to smoke in the sun, even through his home-made "Sun-proof" outfit. I scooped Claire up into my arms without thinking and ran inside of the building, he followed and I handed her gently to him.
"Do you know what's happened to her?" I asked, concerned for her health.
"An incident happened around twenty minutes ago a-and I think that she got hurt pretty bad." Michael brushed a strand of her hair from her face. "Claire...Talk to me...Please..." Michael pleaded, gazing down at her life-less face. If it wasn't for her heartbeat you'd think that she was dead. She was already naturally pale enough, not to mention that now she was unconscious. It gave her face a chalk-like look. And it definitely did not suit her, it only fit vampires.
"S-She'll be okay, right?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow. Mr. Glass sighed and shook his head,
"I don't know, Myrnin. I'm sorry. I'm going to take her home. Now," I nodded slowly.
"As you wish. Tell Claire when she wakes that I expect to see her soon. I did save her from being melted by the sun." I pointed outside for emphasis, Michael nodded slowly and pulled his hate forwards over his face more before smiling a little at me and disappearing into the distance with Claire in his arms.
Hopefully taking her to safety so she couldn't be hurt again. I locked my hands behind my back and stalked through the corridors again, looking for anything useful in my lab, or maybe an insect that Bob the spider could have for dinner tonight.
My eyes were forced open and I gasped, being pulled back into reality. I pulled away from them and Michael smiled wide at me, "Claire! Your here!" He laughed a little in disbelief and I groaned, relaxing back into the pillow when my head throbbed. It was killing like a bitch! Michael frowned and brushed the back of his hand across my cheek, I glanced up at him and he smiled back at me. It was the smile which said 'I'm Michael Glass and I'm about to rock your world.'
"Why does it hurt so much?" I groaned, Michael grabbed an ice pack from the side of him and placed it on my forehead.
"I think you might have a concussion, just sleep, Claire...You'll feel better, the more rest that you get." Michael nodded slowly and I cuddled up into his chest more. Sleep sounded like a pretty decent idea right now.
A/n: Remember to review me what you thought and the next chapter'll be up soon! It would be my DREAM to get to 100 reviews by new year, I might get there if I upload two chapters a week...Anyway, Byee! ^_^

This is due to various advantages that wired mice have traditionally held over their wireless counterparts, such as faster response times and obviously no risk of interference from other devices. There are also other considerations to take into account, such as battery life for example. Today we're going to look at the Razer Mamba, the first wireless mouse truly designed for the hardcore gamer offering 1ms response and up to 5,600 DPI.

Police Chief William J. Bratton bid farewell Wednesday to the city and the members of the LAPD, saying he had "saved my best for last" as he prepares to end his 39-year police career.
Officers lined the hallways of the new Police Administration Building, standing at attention to honor Bratton for his accomplishments during seven years at the helm of a once-troubled agency.
"When I came here, the motto was `too few, for too long asked to do too much with too little,"' Bratton said during an hour-long ceremony before the Los Angeles City Council.
"The department sought to keep itself separate from civilian control from the Police Commission and the political influences of the mayor and City Council. And it didn't work."
Hired in 2002, Bratton worked to change that attitude, and today's Los Angeles Police Department - with support from officials and the public - is now one of the more respected law enforcement agencies in the country.
Law enforcement officials from around the world come to the LAPD to learn about its best practices and see its programs in operation, Bratton said.
During his tenure, the LAPD has grown from about 9,400 officers to 10,000, while more than $1 billion has been spent on new buildings. The most notable is the Police Administration Building which officially opened last Saturday, but the figure includes two stations in the San Fernando Valley, an Emergency Operations Center and improvements to other facilities.
"We owe thanks to the taxpayers who have chosen to invest in this department," Bratton said. "And I owe thanks to the extraordinary men and women of the department."
Bratton gave the same message at his final monthly media briefing and in his final message to sworn officers.
Bratton's last official day is Saturday, when he will turn in his badge and gun and turn over control of the department to interim Chief Michael Downing.
In leaving, Bratton said he believed the department will continue the reforms under whichever of the three finalists for chief is chosen to succeed him - Assistant Chief Jim McDonnell, Deputy Chief Charles Beck or Deputy Chief Michel Moore. The three candidates were by Bratton's side at the news conference, but avoided direct questions about what they will say to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa in their interviews for the job.
Villaraigosa began the interviews on Wednesday with Beck and will interview McDonnell today and Moore on Friday. Villaraigosa said he hopes to announce his choice by Monday.
But Wednesday belonged to Bratton.
"Today, we are paying tribute to an extraordinary Angeleno," City Council President Eric Garcetti said. "He might have lived here only seven years, but he will always be a citizen of Los Angeles.
"I've learned a lot from him. There is a tendency in public life to set the bar too low and then be surprised when we surpass it by a point or two. I've learned from him that you have to set the bar high."
Bratton also used the media event to display a prototype of what he called the police car of the future.
With reports that Ford will stop manufacturing the Crown Victoria used by police agencies across the country, Bratton had the LAPD working with the Austrialian National Defense Foundation to develop the new car, using a Pontiac G8 frame and developed to accomodate police officers, with their needs to carry guns and wear bulletproof vests.
Bratton said it is hoped the car, with its built-in computers and cameras, will be manufactured by an American car firm.
Bratton said he appreciated the accolades, but then quoted a poet: "There are no great men or women, only men who respond to extraordinary challenges to do great things."
In looking back over his career - and the abrupt departures he has faced in other police chief jobs - Bratton said Los Angeles stands out over his career.
"Those of us who chose this career, who work here, what it is about is having a career of impact," Bratton said. "I think I saved the best for last."
Later in the afternoon, Bratton was surprised with an emotional "end-of-watch" ceremony, in which hundreds of officers and civilian employees lined up outside the LAPD headquarters to bid farewell.
Emerging from the building to applause, the smiling Bratton shook the officers' hands and gave them hugs.
Taking a microphone, the LAPD's 54th chief - initially choking up and at a loss for words - told the department the last seven years were the most exciting and satisfying time of his professional life.
"Together, we've done so much and together we've had the opportunity to take this department to new levels," Bratton said. "I hope you feel as I do that it was time well spent. I don't think anybody knows as well as I do how hard you have all worked to achieve these goals."
Afterward, Bratton walked to a waiting vehicle and drove down 1st Street, waving to motorcycle officers as an LAPD helicopter performed a flyover.
"He came in and was a breath of fresh air for the department," said LAPD Lt.Phillip Smith. "He came in during some troubling times and added some stability, and I think seven years later we're a better department."
Jaime Ramirez, an LAPD senior clerk typist, said Bratton was a very successful chief.
"I think he will be missed because he was one of the most aggressive chiefs toward crime, especially gang crime," Ramirez said. "He's been very tough on gang crime compared to other chiefs, and he will be greatly missed."

Tourbeau's National Men's Soccer Game of the Week, presented by NSCAA and Admiral Soccer
Concordia (Calif.) (1-3-0) at (RV) Embry-Riddle (Ariz.) (2-1-0)
Sunday, September 22, 1 p.m. MDT | Varsity Field, Prescott, Ariz.
• The 2012 Golden State Athletic Conference Regular-Season and Tournament Champions, Concordia (Calif.), will travel to Prescott, Ariz., to face off against (RV) Embry-Riddle (Ariz.), 2012 California Pacific Conference Tournament Champions.
• When the teams last played, in a regular season match on Sept. 3, 2012, Concordia protected its home field, shutting out the Eagles of Embry-Riddle, 3-0.
• Concordia, which was ranked No. 6 in the preseason poll after a national quarterfinal finish in 2012, fell out of the Top 25 this week for the first time since Sept. 20, 2011, a stretch of 25-straight polls. This season, the Eagles have lost to then-receiving votes Baker (Kan.), then-No. 23 Kansas Wesleyan and NCAA Division II Azusa Pacific (Calif.). Their lone win came against Westminster (Utah), who is 3-4-0 on the season.
• Embry-Riddle, which was ranked No. 18 in the preseason poll after making its first national championship tournament appearance in 2012, is currently receiving votes in the coaches' poll. The Eagles have defeated Simpson (Calif.) and Great Falls (Mont.) this year. Their lone loss came against then-No. 22 Rocky Mountain (Mont.), which is one of just seven NAIA squads to have at least seven wins (7-1-1).
• This season, Concordia is trying to make it to consecutive national championship tournaments for the first time since 2007 and 2008. Embry-Riddle is attempting to make its second national championship tournament appearance in school history.
• Concordia lost 91 percent of its scoring from an offense that ranked sixth in the NAIA in total goals (76) a year ago. The Eagles are without all of their top five scorers from last season and the team's leading returner, senior forward Jordan Long, netted just three goals in 2012. Key losses for the Eagles include: first-team All-America forward Christian Ramirez —who ranked among the top 10 in the NAIA in total goals (5th, 23) and total points (8th, 52) —to graduation as well as second-team All-America goaltender Julio Trejo—who was third in the NAIA in goals against per game (.71)—and third-team All-America defender Omar De La Piedra, who are both redshirting this season. Senior midfielder Neil Anaya is the biggest offensive threat to return for Concordia. He ranked fourth on the team in points (15) and second on the team in assists (11) in 2012.
• Embry Riddle returns four of its top five scorers and three of its top five assist men from 2012. Key returners for the Eagles include: Jacob Brech, who tied for the team lead in goals (15) and tied for third on the team in assists (5), Isaac Sanchez, who led the team in assists (22) and was third on the team in goals (13), and Fabio Pena, who tied for the team lead in goals (15). The Eagles return each of their thirty-point getters from a year ago in Sanchez (48), Brech (35) and Pena (31). Sanchez ranked among the top 25 nationally in total assists (2nd, 22), assists per game (2nd, 1.10), total points (13th, 48) and points per game (15th, 2.40). Brech ranked among the top 50 in the NAIA in goals per game (28th, .88), points per game (31st, 2.06), total goals (37th, 15) and total points (42nd, 35). Pena also ranked among the 2012 NAIA leaders in goals per game (24th, .94), points per game (37th, 1.94) and total goals (37th, 15).
• Pena and Sanchez of Embry Riddle were Honorable Mentions for NAIA All-America honors last season.
• Freshman forward Ryan Naime leads Concordia with two goals on the season. Junior midfielder Tristan Korras and senior defender Keldon Hatch are tied for the Embry Riddle lead with two goals each. Jacob Brech of Embry Riddle currently leads the NAIA in assists per game (1.33) and ranks among the NAIA leaders in total assists (24th, 4).
• Concordia went 19-3-1 last season, including a 10-2-1 mark in non-conference games. In true road games last year, the Eagles went 5-1-1.
• All three of Embry Riddle's losses in 2012 were recorded against non-conference competition. The Eagles, who went 14-3-3 last season, were 10-3-1 in non-conference games. But, in home games, the Eagles were a perfect 8-0-0 in 2012.
• Prior to Sunday's matchup, Embry Riddle will host William Jessup (Calif.) (1-4) at 5 p.m. MDT Thursday. Concordia will also host William Jessup (1-4) at 1 p.m. PDT Saturday.
