Bourjois Contour Liner
If I'm honest 3 for 2 at Boots is my kryptonite! I buy far too much and Bourjois is featuring more and more heavily in my makeup bag. I decided I wanted a nice olive green eyeliner pencil, that worked perfectly with hazel eyes – and this was just the ticket!
This works on my lower lash line just perfectly and does not smudge excessively or feather into fine lines, the colours stays all day too. I have not tried this in the water line, as it takes very little for me to get an eye infection but I have read other reviews to say that it also works great there.
I have also found an alternative use for this product – a cream eye shadow! This works perfectly blending into the crease or outer V to add definition, this is also great all the way of the lid and diffused for a really nice smokey eye. This can cause a little creasing but used a primer and there will be not trouble at all.
This pencil also sharpens really nicely, it sounds weird I know but I have a problems with eye liners falling apart and this does not do this. The creaminess also continues the whole way threw (mine is now finished). These are genuinely some of the best eyeliner pencils I have ever tried.
In conclusion
These pencils are highly pigmented, easy to use and for just £4.00 from Superdrug or Boots they also represent a great value. Well done Bourjois for another fab product!
I bought the 06 Violet Artiste eyeliner as a potential dupe for my Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On eyeliner in the colour Lust, a deep purple with glitter. Even though my Khôl & Contour pencil is glitter-free, at a fraction of the price, I thought it was worth trying!
~~Product Description~~
Bourjois Khol & Contour Eye Pencil is perfect to blend and shade the eye area. Available in a delectable palette of shades from pearly pastels to dramatic darks.
Bourjois Khol & Contour Eye Pencil are great to blend and shade defining the shape of the eye or apply to the inside of the eye for intensity.
~~Current Price & Additional Information~~
Boots are currently selling these at £4.16 each. The eyeliners come in a range of wearable and more vibrant colours.
~~My Thoughts~~
I really like the colour. It looks a little deeper than my Lust Urban Decay eyeliner, but it's very nicely pigmented. The pencil is quite hard, but actually glides on quite well. I was also quite impressed with the staying power. The eyeliner doesn't smudge very much. I swatched this eyeliner on my hand for the review, and after several rubs, the colour remains very visibly.
What I didn't like about this eyeliner was that the pigment looks a little flaky, especially if you draw thicker lines, therefore the texture and look isn't as uniform as I would have liked. The flakiness can make the eyeliner look even unflattering up close if you're too heavy-handed! Having said that, I think this eyeliner is pretty decent for the price paid.
I prefer creamier consistencies, since they feel better on my eyes, but I would actually wear this once in a while because I do like the colour and the staying power is quite good. 3 stars from me since this eyeliner does flake a little too much...!
Like many women, I use eyeliner to define my eyes and make them stand out. Bourjois eyeliners are something I have purchased several times over the years. I normally go for this Kohl and Contour Eyeliner.
***The Brand***
Bourjois is a Parisian brand which has been around for almost 150 years. It is named after Monsieur Alexandre Napoléon Bourjois who created the world's first powder blusher in 1863. The brand originally created makeup for theatre performers but later branched out into makeup for the ordinary woman. The website, www.bourjois.co.uk has some interesting information about the brand's history and several pictures of vintage makeup designs.
Today, Bourjois aims to make Parisian style accessible to all by creating daring looks that don't break the bank.
***Price and Availability***
Bourjois products are very reasonably priced and most of them cost under £10. This particular eyeliner is £4.99. Products are available from Boots, Superdrug and some supermarkets and are occasionally available from online discount cosmetics retailers.
***The Product***
The Kohl & Contour Eyeliner comes in a wide variety of shades from black and brown to purple and green. I currently have it in black and grey. Black is ideal for night time but grey works well during the day when black would be too harsh. The eyeliner comes in standard pencil form with a plastic lid. Each eyeliner is the colour of the liner colour it represents. The product is described as one used to "blend and shade defining the shape of the eye".
I always apply eyeliner to the outer rim of my eye, along my lower lash line. I never apply to the inner rim, with the exception of white eyeliner, as it makes eyes look smaller in my opinion. I find the eyeliner to be quite soft and it goes on easily without the need to apply too much pressure. I can press a little harder to create a defined look or apply more softly to create a lighter look. I can also use my little finger to smudge the eyeliner to create a slightly different look.
I find that the eyeliner lasts about 4-5 hours normally, which is a reasonable amount of time. It's fine for a night out but less so during the day, when I have to carry it around with me to reapply, or else let it wear off. For the price it is very good but I have since discovered Urban Decay eyeliners which last all day - they are more expensive however.
This eyeliner is a good product in many ways - it is comparatively cheap, comes in a variety of different colours and looks good. However I'd rather pay slightly more money for a product that lasts longer.
**This eye liner now comes with an attached sharpener**
I needed to purchase a new eye liner and I usually stick to the rimmel one which I know and love however when I was in Boots I spotted a deal which meant if I bought the Bourjois new mascara for £9.99 I would get their khol and contour eye pencil worth £5.99 free. Never one to miss out on a deal I snapped it up!
The khol and contour eye pencil looks very sleek and trendy in its design in my opinion. It has silver writing on its black casing and the two compliments each other very well. The eye pencil also has a sharpener enclosed in the lid which I think is a great idea as I am always losing my sharpener in my big make up box!
The description on the pencil tells us that the eye pencil has been tested on sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers and so I can only assume that it would be ok to use if you do have issues with your eyes.
To access the khol pencil you need to pull off the lid. I find it best just to twist the lid slightly to avoid just pulling off the cap that covers the sharpener. You can then apply the pencil in the same was as you normally do. My pencil is the "noir expert" variety as this was all there was and it is a very dark black. I found when it was first applied that I was quite surprised at how dramatic it looked. It also looked quite harsh. I like my eyes to be the focus are when I am fully made up but even so I think this look was a bit much for me with this pencil as I am used to my rimmel eye liner having a softer look to it even though that is black too.
I have found that the eye pencil seems to apply relatively easily over my eye make up but it does not glide on as easily as my Rimmel liner or my Urban Decay one.
We are told that the pencil can last for up to sixteen hours when we apply it. I have found this to be a total exaggeration though! I work long days granted, but usually after around four hours the eye liner is already smudged all under my eye which is definitely not a good look!
When it comes to washing off the eye liner I find I do need to rub at my eyes quite a lot with the make up wipes and that the liner also then smudges all over my face! Of course this isn't ideal but I find this can happen with other brands too so I don't think this is brand specific.
I don't think I would purchase this eye liner again as it is more expensive than my usual brand and it doesn't last the same either unfortunately. This is a real let down for me as I am a fan of Bourjois make up in general and usually find it to be of a good quality.
I award this product 2 stars and one of those is for the sharpener!
I chose the 'ultra black' look and use this eyeliner as part of my everyday make-up.
This ia a typical pencil style eyeliner (requires a pencil sharpener). The colour of the pencil denotes the colour which it dispenses. The ultra black version consists of a black pencil with gold writing. Overall, this is a simple classic design with no unnecessary packaging.
I found that this eyeliner does not require repeated application in order to get the desired effect around the eyes. One or two strokes of the pencil is enough to produce a dark enough line.
One problem often encountered with eyeliners is the fact that they often smudge or faid during the day, requiring reapplication. I was pleased to find that this Bourjois eyeliner does not tend to fade and in fact can keep a good consistent line and colour through an entire day. It does not run or smudge around the eye like other eyeliners so there is no need to be repeatedly checking in the mirror to see if oyur makeup is still intact!
Although not particularly cheap, this eyeliner is worth the money in my opinion. As it doesn't require frequent reapplication, the pencil itself lasts longer and you can be confident that your eye makeup is going to last.
This eyeliner can be used minimalistically for an everyday look or can be applied more heavily for going out so is a makeup bag must-have/
Sometimes I try out different items with makeup, but this eyeliner has pretty much remained a staple in my kit. It has been around for ages too, I have been using it for at least 6 years if not more...
The eyeliner costs £4.29 at full price from Boots, but sometimes you can get these on offer such as 3 for 2, or use your points to get them, so works out a little better.
Now what do you get for £4.29? Well, it's not really a fancy item, and you won't be blown away by the chic design of it. It is a simple eye pencil, which needs to be sharpened to use (i.e. not a twist up stick).
The lid is silver coloured (and a little boring), and the colour of the main pencil corresponds to the shade which you are buying. The writing on the pencil informing you of the brand etc is in a silver font, and the pencil looks smart and attractive, although unexciting. I don't think I'm really bothered about having an exciting looking pencil if I'm honest! Its simple, functional and easy to hold, which is everything I'm looking for.
This pencil comes in 11 different colours, mainly browns, blacks, and greens. I have a black one, and a 'bleu original' which is an aqua green kind of colour.
What I love most about this eyeliner is that unlike some that you have to line a few times to get any decent colour on your eye line, this one applies good colour instantly, and you don't really have to go over it too much to build up the intensity.
I use these liners on my bottom lash line, and occasionally on the top lash line if I'm feeling my hands are not going to be steady enough to apply a liquid line (I have those days when I just can't be bothered!).
It's a really nice liner to use as it is, or to smudge to get that smoky effect. It doesn't come with a smudging tool, but I'm quite happy using either my finger tip or a cotton bud, as I'm sure most people are (probably more hygienic too!).
I have tried other cheaper liners by Rimmel etc, but have not found them as good as this one. I have also tried a Lancome pencil, which was good, but not quite as good as this surprisingly, so I've been sticking with Bourjois. It lasts really long though, and one of these pencils can last me over a year (I guess as it glides on so easily, I don't have to use so much of it), so in this case, a cost of £4.29 is nothing at all.
I think it would be nice if they expanded their colours a bit more in this range to offer funky colours like Barry M does, as I'm quite into these vibrant colours at the moment, but hey ho!
All in all, I think it's a good value pencil, which although is a tiny bit more expensive than some cheaper brands, I think the colour pigmentation and quality of the liner makes it worth it.
A recommendable eyeliner for daily or special occasion use!
**What is it?**
An eyeliner pencil from Bourjois available in seven different colours. It doesn't come in any packaging and looks like any other eye pencil on the market.
**Is it any good?**
It applies very easily as most Khol eyeliners do, it is soft on the eye and I found that I did not have to push very hard for the eyeliner to come out on my skin. I also only needed to go over the line of my eyelid once as it came out very strong.
I chose to buy the vert inspire colour number 05. I didn't realise it was going to be so dark, it is more like black than green and my complexion and eyes can't really carry off black eyeliner. Due to this it is probably not a product I will buy again but this is my own fault for not checking the colour in the shop with a tester.
This eyeliner does not smudge easily and I should know as I am a chronic eye rubber! It also lasts all day although I am not sure it lasts as long as the sixteen hours the Bourjois website promises it does. Although maybe it would, because taking it off with eye make-up remover was a bit of a challenge.
On the plus side it didn't irritate my eyes at all and I would be keen to use this product in another colour.
**Where can I get it and how much is it?**
This can be bought online from the Bourjois website or in a large number of chemists and departments stores. It costs £4.29 from Boots which I think is a resaonable price for eyeliner.
I have an eyeliner collection that makes Imelda Marcus shoe collection look tiny in comparison and yet so far I have only reviewed one! So time to put that right.
Well as we have already established I am slightly obsessed with makeup and when in any store or chemist like the magpie I am I am drawn to anything with shiny colours! which is why I am always attracted to the Bourjois stand with its pretty pastel pots and lovely colours.
==== The Eyeliner ====
This particular eyeliner is called the Kohl and Contour and like most pencil eyeliners is shaped would you believe it like a pencil. It is available in 10 different colours from pearly pastels to dramatic darks and apart from the black and brown the all have a shimmer to them and are not matt.
The pencil is a standard size eyeliner pencil and uses soft wax in the pencil which makes it very easy to apply and also to blend.
====How Did It Work====
I choose the soft pastel blue shade and I found that it was very easy to apply and even from new I did not need to soften it myself as I often have with other pencils. because it uses natural wax in the pencil it does not drag the skin at all.
I used it on my upper lid and was apply to draw a very precise line as I had the blue colour I also found that if I wanted a more natural look it was easy to blend the eyeliner to create a smudged effect.
As the product is tested under opthalmoogical control it is safe to use along the inside rim of the lower eyelid which creates a more dramatic look.
=====Durability And Removal====
The eye pencil did not smudge throughout the day and I was surprised by this as its easy to blend on application I feared that it may smudge while I was wearing it and I am pleased to say that it did not.
It was very easy to remove with cleanser and I didn't need to drag my eyelids to remove it.
====My Conclusion====
I think that this is one of the most versatile eye pencils on the market. It is soft in texture which makes it easy to apply and you do not need to drag the skin making it easier to get a good result. even though its quite a soft pencil I was still able to get quite a sharp line if that was the look I wanted.
The pencil is also easy to sharpen as its a standard size and does not require a special sharpner.
====Cost And Availability====
The eye pencil is available in department stores and most Boots stores and if you shop in Boots they often give out £5.00 vouchers to be used on certain brands and they quite often include Bourjois.
Cost is approx £ 4.20
I wanted to try a new black eyeliner, and having popped some other Bourjois products into my basket already at the time I quickly snapped this up. Little did I realise that I had actually purchased this product in grey ("02 Gris Ingenieux") - the bright shop lighting had made it hard to distinguish this dark grey pencil from black. Still, I decided to give the product a go and let it convert me to a shade I had previously avoided.
The pencil comes with a very robust plastic lid, which handily doesn't fall off or crack easily when jostled about in a make-up bag. The product is very easy and comfortable to hold, so applying isn't a chore. The pencil applies easily, gliding on effortlessly. It is extremely soft, however, and becomes blunt with ease - though sharpening this pencil isn't a difficulty. Based on this I would say that if you want an eyeliner that is good for precise lines to add intensity to your eye make-up then this isn't the product for you. What you can achieve with this pencil is a subtle, understated look - particularly in this grey shade - as smudging or blending the product outwards with a smudging brush to create a less harsher line takes little effort.
The product does, disappointingly, smudge and fade with wear throughout the day, so if you're looking for a long lasting eye pencil then I would look elsewhere. In a positive light, this does mean that the product is easily removed at the end of the day, with no need for harsh scrubbing.
I ended up abandoning this eye pencil after a couple of uses, as it doesn't create the sort of look I was after. If, however, you are looking for an easily applied eyeliner to create a subtle line to define eyes, and which is also gentle on sensitive eyes, then at around £4 I would say that this is ideal.
I was looking in Boots for a new eyeliner. I've always liked Bourjois so I decided to choose theirs.
The eyeliner pencil looks just like any other. The pencil is matte and black in colour and it feels nice and comfortable to hold. The name and details are all written in gold which looks very eye catching. There is a plastic black lid to the eyeliner pencil. No matter how much it gets bashed about in your bag the writing still manages to stay on the eyeliner, which I like. I always like my products to look perfect.
*Using The Product*
I use this eyeliner on my waterline and it's very easy to do. The colour goes on smoothly and creates a very black line. I don't even have to go over twice with this, so application is quick and easy.
*The Results*
Straight away I'm left with lovely eyes that stand out. But after 30 minutes the eye liner had almost entirely come off. And it had managed to smudge at the side of my eye and underneath, even though I'd never touched it.
I am very disappointed with this. I thought it would be good because of how nice it was to apply but it seems to have no staying power what-so-ever. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. There are far better eyeliners for around the same price (around £5?).
I have used and tried many different eyeliners but most of them don't give a real dark look and a lot of them sem to have worn of by the middle of the day. I am always tryign out new eye-liners and I am yet to find one which gives me that look I want and a look that lasts througout the day, so I don't need to keep re-applying.
Boujois are a very popular brand of make up and their products were first used on actresses in Paris in the 1980's who were constantly using thick, greasy creams which were uncomfortable to wear and were also damaging to the skin. Today Bourjois is the oldest French cosmetics company in operation, who are always truly dedicated to be one step ahead with innovative products and the latest colours. Boujois make-up ranges from neutral shades to vivid colours of the rainbow. They sell eye-liners, eye-shadows, mascara, lip gloss, lip liners, lipsticks, foundation, concealer, powder, blusher and nail care and colour.
This Eye-liner is about 12.5cm long with the lid on, and is a dark shade of black, this particular eye-liner which I am reviewing is called Ultra Black. This pencil claims that you can use it to blend, shape and define the shape of the eye or apply to the inside of the rim of the eye for intensity.
When using this eye-liner for the first time, the pencil was soft, and easy to apply, but this wasn't so soft that the liner in the pencil broke or fell off. I didn't need to apply much pressure to use this eye-liner. It was a vary dark jet black colour which is what I have been looking for.
I used this liner to line the whole of my eyes and it lasted throughout most of the day and only required one touch up half way through the day which I thought was good. Even though it required a touch up, I didn't need to line the whole of my eyes again, only parts of the eyeliner had smudged slightly or worn off.
This eyeliner comes off every easily with a make up remover/facial wipe and I wasn't left rubbing or scrubbing at my eyes to try and get this off.
This pencil also sharpens very well and the liner in the pencil doesn't snap or break off which is fantastic, as some eye-liners I have previously used have snapped of a few times when sharpening them.
This is avaliable from Boots & Superdrug, and prices are roughly the same is each which is about £4.20, which I think is reasonable as it is a very well known and good quality brand.
On the boots website I have noticed that they do a few other colours including:
* Bleu Evasion - Which looks like an electric blue colour.
* Noir Expert - Which is just a black colour.
* Brun Expressif - Which is a medium brown colour.
* Bleu Original - Which is more of a turquoise colour.
On the Boujois website they have a picture with lots more colours such as purples, Pinks and a silver colour as well.
On the Superdrug website where I purchased my eye-liner from, they only show the Ultra Black colour which is the one I purchased. How-ever I remember seeing other colours such as Silver and brown when I was looking at this eye-liner.
This is a great eye-liner which definately lives upto the popular and well known brand name. With minimal touch up, this lasted throughout a whole day in the office. This also blends very easy if you like to create a smokey eyes this eye-liner would be perfect for it. This is an eye-liner I will definately be sticking to as its the best one I have tried yet, and I've tried quite a few! I would definately be tempted to try the other colours out as well.
(Review also on ciao)
I'm a huge fan of bourjois products and as boots always seem to be selling them at a discount price, I usually buy them. My sister bought me this for my birthday after my old eyeliner turned into a tiny stub.
I have this pencil in black (O1), although I have also tried the other colours on my hand, the dark blue colour is lovely. The pencil is about 5.5 inches long, and reasonably thin (no jokes please). It's black with a silver lid and the outside is covered in lots of writing and bar codes.
I use eyeliner on a daily basis on my bottom eyelids and I have been using this one for since November, needless to say I'll need a new one soon, but I probably won't be buying this again.
The pencil is easy to hold, (although I'm still adamant that eyeliners should have little indents on them, like some pens do to make them steadier.) and the eyeliner glides on easily enough. I found it difficult to get a clean line though as khol pencils tend to be more smudgey and better for smokey eyes. However if you always have a sharp point on the pencil, it's possible to get both a clean line and a smudgey one depending on what you want.
In terms of staying power this eyeliner isn't brilliant, it wears off during the day, even without crying or rubbing, so if you have hayfever or anything, this isn't for you. It's minimal lasting power is a bonus however in terms of removal, it comes off almost altogether with a quick shower and is swept off in a moment with make up wipes (I use simple facial wipes, they get rid of everything).
I'm not the best at liquid eyeliner, so tend to use pencils to line my upper lids however this pencil isn't good for this as it isn't solid enough and seems to cover the eyelid in smudgey black.
It's a very expensive product, for what you get anyway, and whilst the pencil takes a long time to wear down, it isn't a brilliant eyeliner unless you just want to buy it for making smokey eyes for nights out.

Coming to the Dark Side
Viewfinder: Making the Dark Side of the Moon
The OMEGA Speedmaster Professional is such an icon — it's nearly a perfect watch, really — that it's hard to imagine that OMEGA could ever follow it up. Then last year the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon set the watch world abuzz. The watch, made entirely from black ceramic, is a fitting tribute to the Apollo 8 astronauts who were the first to see the dark side of our orbiting pet rock. It also is a formidable timepiece, with an OMEGA in-house co-axial movement, a lightweight, scratchproof case and plenty of Darth Vader style. Ceramic is such a popular case material these days that you'd think it was easy to work with. Not so, as this video from Omega proves.

text: Feb 4 - Fitch Ratings has assigned an 'AA' rating to the Northeast Maryland Waste Disposal Authority, MD's (the authority) following revenue bonds: --Approximately $79 million solid waste refunding revenue bonds (Montgomery County Solid Waste Disposal System), series 2013. The bonds are scheduled for competitive sale on Feb. 14. Proceeds will be used to refund the authority's outstanding series 2003 bonds. In addition, Fitch affirms its 'AA' rating on the following outstanding obligations: --$2.7 million in outstanding solid waste disposal system refunding revenue bonds, series 2003A, issued by Montgomery County, MD; --$113.7 million in outstanding solid waste refunding revenue bonds (Montgomery County Solid Waste System), series 2003, issued by the authority. The Rating Outlook is Stable. SECURITY The bonds are a limited obligation of the authority secured by a pledge of project revenues, the primary source of which is a waste disposal fee paid to the authority by Montgomery County (the county) and secured by a pledge of essentially all revenues derived from the operation of the county's solid waste disposal system. The pledge securing the county's obligation to pay the waste disposal fee to the authority is on parity with the pledge securing the county's solid waste revenue bonds maturing June 1, 2013. The waste disposal fee paid by the county is net of the authority's share of any revenues from the operations of the project. Additional security is derived from a cash funded debt service reserve fund equal to 10% of par. SENSITIVITY/RATING DRIVERS USER FEE COLLECTED ON TAX BILL: A bulk of the system's revenues are derived from a benefit charge or user fee collected by the county on commercial and residential property tax bills and enforced through property foreclosure. SOUND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: Bonds are secured by substantially all revenues generated by the county's solid waste system, and both waste flow and net revenue performance have improved after a slight decline during the recessionary period. RESERVE LEVELS ARE FAVORABLE: The system has maintained a solid level of operating reserves which have remained relatively stable the last five years. STRONG ECONOMIC BASE: Montgomery County (general obligation bonds rated 'AAA' by Fitch) benefits from its above-average wealth levels, low unemployment, and a highly educated labor force. Anchoring the economy is the extensive presence of the U.S. government. LOW TO MODERATE DEBT BURDEN: Management reports the system is in good physical condition and compliant with all regulatory requirements, and there are no significant capital needs or plans for additional debt leveraging. ADEQUATE BONDHOLDER PROTECTIONS: Rate covenant and additional bond provisions are lenient. However, these risks are mitigated in part by the short remaining life of the county and authority bonds, which are fully repaid by 2013 and 2016, respectively. CREDIT PROFILE The authority is an independent state agency consisting of eight participating political subdivisions located in central Maryland. The authority was organized in 1980 to assist in the development of waste management facilities to serve the region. In 1993 the authority and Montgomery County concurrently issued bonds to finance construction of an 1,800 ton-per-day resource recovery facility (RRF), among other related improvements. The authority owns the RRF, which it operates as part of the county's solid waste disposal system (the county system) pursuant to the terms of a waste disposal agreement with the county. The county system provides for the collection, recycling, composting, transfer, mass burning, and landfilling of solid waste. The county has been providing solid waste collection and disposal services since 1943. STRONG AND HIGHLY RATED ECONOMIC BASE The solid waste disposal system service area is the entire Montgomery County. Montgomery County is a wealthy suburb of Washington DC, with a highly educated labor force and a broad and diverse economy with expansion potential. The region's heavy concentration of government jobs helped to stabilize it during the downturn, with declines in total payroll notably lower than the national average. Healthy job growth is anticipated in the intermediate term, with modest risk to government downsizing. Unemployment remains low at 4.7% in November. Population is 989,794 (2011 estimate) and is up 13% from 2000 census figures. PROPERTY TAX BILL CHARGES PROMOTE REVENUE STABILITY A bulk of the county system revenues are collected as a system benefit charge, which is essentially a pre-paid tip fee collected on the property tax bill and enforced through foreclosure in the same manner as if the owner had failed to pay property taxes. System benefit charges are established by the county without any legal limitation and are calculated to reflect as closely as possible the actual costs, or allocated portion of costs, to the county of providing solid waste management services. System benefit charges were $214 in 2012 for a single-family residence in the unincorporated area of the county. These charges represented 71% of total system revenues in fiscal 2012 and have averaged 70% the last five fiscal years. This fee has gradually increased each year, but is up only 7.7% since 2008. Approximately 359,000 residential units, including multi-family, located throughout the county are subject to a charge on their property tax bill for system services. System benefit charges are set annually but may be adjusted more frequently. Due to the nature of the property tax bill cycle, mid-year adjustments would be cumbersome. However, the tip fee may be adjusted within 90 days of the county's decision to do so. Tip fees, which account for an average of 16% of remaining county system revenues, are also established by county ordinance without limitation as to rate or amount. Tip fees are currently $56 per ton, having last been increased by nearly 8% effective fiscal 2008 and 27% in total since fiscal 2003. Tip fees are managed to control capacity at the transfer station and RRF. Current tip fees are competitive with regional systems. SOUND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE The county system has historically produced coverage of operating expenses and combined debt service on the authority and county bonds at or close to 1.0x. Fitch calculated coverage in fiscal 2012 from net revenues of the county system was 1.07x, up from 0.97x in fiscal 2011, largely due to an increase in waste flow due to an improving economy. The rate covenant and additional bonds test (ABT) is based on a relatively low 1.10x coverage threshold. Further, both tests permit 25% of the revenue requirement to be satisfied from available fund balances. The fiscal 2012 debt service coverage ratio improves to 1.83x when factoring in available fund balances equal to 25% of revenues required to cover operations plus debt service. LIBERAL RATE COVENANT AND ABT MITIGATED BY LACK OF DEBT NEEDS Fitch views these liberal legal provisions negatively, as they allow less than sum-sufficient coverage of debt service from system operations and may allow issuance of more debt than the system operations can comfortably cover. However, the stable nature of the revenue environment combined with the county's exceptional financial management counters this risk, as do the lack of future issuance plans and the short remaining life of the outstanding bonds. Further, system liquidity is considered sound, with $58 million in available reserves at the close of fiscal 2012 (audited GAAP), or the equivalent of 219 days operating expenses. The county system is in full compliance with all regulatory permits. The facility is reportedly in good condition, and there are no major capital repairs or replacements scheduled. Debt service charges in fiscal 2012 totaled $31.8 million, or one-third of the county system's fiscal 2012 revenues, which Fitch considers high. Outstanding debt of the county ($2.7 million) is scheduled to mature June 1, 2013, leaving only the authority's series 2013 bonds outstanding. The series 2013 bonds mature April 1, 2016. FUTURE FLOW PROJECTIONS ARE CONSERVATIVE Five-year projections for waste flow are fairly conservative and assume 1% annual population growth and maintenance of a $56 tipping fee. If waste flow projections do not materialize due to an unexpected downturn in the economy or other factors, the county has the ability to raise tipping fees or the system benefit charge accordingly. The financial flexibility provided by the county's sound level of reserves also mitigates any such concern. THIRD-PARTY CONTRACTS PERFORMING WELL The county and the authority are party to various contracts related to the operation of the RRF, delivery of waste to the system, and land-filling of non-processable or bypassed waste. Third-party participants are performing as anticipated, according to management, and all but one of the operating contracts expire after final bond maturity. The contract for rail service with CSX for transport of waste to the RRF from the county transfer system expires Aug. 7, 2015. Management expects timely extension of the contract and no disruption in services, which Fitch believes is reasonable based on the historical performance of the system. The county also owns 650 acres of land near Dickerson, less than 2 miles from the RRF, of which 125 acres is permitted for the Site 2 landfill if out-of-county disposal becomes unavailable.

Whaddya Think?
Written by Katie Cernek, Posted in General
Yesterday, Joe asked who was "off-limits" if the Red Sox organization asked for players as compensation for Epstein. Most, if not all, of you decided Castro was the most untouchable player on our team. Matt Garza came in a close second.
So, along the same lines as Joe, the question is:
If you could pick one player, and one player only, to add to the Cubs' organization, who would it be? Why would you choose him (Assume that money was not an option for the addition of this player)?
Another thought: Jerry Jones is under fire for these comments: "This game was decided right down there at the end, and I am so proud of these players, the way they competed tonight." Apparently, the underlying message is an insult to Jason Garrett. Garrett is in his first year as head coach of the Cowboys. His play calling may have erred on the safe side, but he was trying to preserve a lead. Yes, the Cowboys were playing the Patriots, and they were only ahead by three points. It was kind of inevitable that the Pats would pull out a win with that slim of a score difference, anyway. In any situation, do you think an owner support the coach he hired, or is it fine to passive-aggressively insult him in public? Jones did hire him, after all. Is he out of line with his comments?
One last thought: Last night in one of my classes, we read an article that said college kids these days barely know more than high schoolers did fifty years ago. I am currently a college student and we look at test samples from days gone by, and I will admit, some of those questions are difficult. Old(er) people, what do you think? Is school too easy for your kids? Young(er) people, do you think college is/was too hard, too easy, or just right?

August 30th, 2010
I had sex with my partner on the 18th of August. My last period started on the 7th of August and lasted for 7 days.
I started having light brown spotting on the 23rd of August which is 5 days after sex and 16 days after last period started. The spotting was very light and lasted for 3 days. After the blood stopped I had this transparent jelly discharge just like my normal ovulation times and this happened around the days I usually have such discharge.
My expecting period should come on the 4th (28days cycle).
My partner wore condom and I do not use any hormonal birth control of any sort.
Could I be pregnant?

Pibros foam delta -free plans.
Surfimp's posting of the mugi reminded me of another easy to build delta. This one however is made of foam sheets instead of coroplast. It was my first sloper and at a few dollars a piece quite disposable. I put a tow hook at the bottom and shot it off like a rocket off a short bungee. It's original construction was made of depron but you can use foamboard (sturdyboard) as a substitute. If you decide to make one get black foamboard it peels much easyer than the white. You can find it at art supply stores or wallmart from what I hear. Enough of my blabbing go build one. here is the site and some pics of the one I built.
I made one of these also. I did it a bit differently though - I started with 3/4" blue foam insulation. I hotwird a taper from about 1/3 of the way back, down to about 1/4" thick at the trailing edge. I cut the elevons out of the piece that was sliced off. I sliced a bit of an angle on the leading edge and sanded the LE and whole top smooth. I put a couple old Cirrus CS-20s in on the elevons, FMA Tetra (mine worked fine) and a 350 mAh battery up front for balance. All up weight is about 6 1/2 oz.
This plane flies great! I started off with three holes in the bottom as shown above, then taped a plywood bungee hook to the bottom after the first few hand lauch flights. It is a blast to wach it scream up to 100 feet or so. I sometimes do some rolls or other silly stunts on the way up. My guesstimate is that on launch it is doing about 100 MPH as it goes over the launch stake. Pretty impressive for a piece of blue foam with a bit of colored packing tape on it.
The servos are still in this plane, and I keep thinking of making a FanFold fuselage to put on the bottom to carry a LiPo pack and motor for a bit of e-power fun.
I have made about eight from 1/8" foamcore in the past- I always anjoy how aerobatic they are and the fast build. I helped a friend of mine build one out of green FFFin about three hours, and the late-night glide tests look very promising. Taking it out later this morning to maiden her in the real world!
Nice URL, huh?
I was really looking to buy some blucor fanfold (the 1/4" stuff from Dow) but this is all I could find round these parts. The friend Cody is talking about is me. We live about five blocks fron one another and just met recently through RCgroups.
We really did build a Pibros, starting about 10PM last night and had her gliding about the park at 1 AM. That's including plenty of being dorks time and a few screwups.
Took her out this afternoon to the slope at Mt Zion where she flew really well for a few flights. It was actually my first time there, as I'm real new to the slope soaring.
Then Cody ran over my brand new 7C and the Pibros with his big honkin van. He told be he doesn't really like Futaba and now I believe him.

Sharif's former colleague testifies
Pakistan's former foreign minister, Sartaj Aziz, has testified in a court which is trying the deposed prime minister, Nawaz Sharif.
Mr Sharif has been charged with tax evasion in a private helicopter purchase deal, and faces 14 years in prison if found guilty.
He has already been given a life sentence after being convicted of terrorism and hijacking in a separate trial.
This latest trial is taking place inside the army-controlled 16th century Attock Fort, about 100km from the capital Islamabad.
Mr Sharif, who had earlier withdrawn his defence lawyers in protest, criticised the court proceedings.
But he agreed to cross-examine Mr Aziz who was brought on as a prosecution witness.
The BBC's Zaffar Abbas, who was in the court, says Mr Aziz did his best to defend his former boss during the cross-examination.
He said in 1996 he wrote to Pakistan's civil aviation authority asking it to transfer the helicopter in Mr Sharif's name.
Mr Aziz said he did this in his capacity as the secretary-general of the party.
Asked by Mr Sharif to explain the background of the purchase deal, Mr Aziz said the helicopter had remained grounded most of the time, because of a court case.
Since it was only transferred to Mr Sharif after June 1996 there was no question of it being mentioned as his asset in his tax return for the previous year.
In the following year, Mr Aziz said, the helicopter had crashed and so there was no need to pay any taxes.
During the course of the trial, Mr Sharif tried to read out a statement, but was not allowed by the judge to do so.
The deposed premier accused the judge of being unfair and said that was why his lawyers were boycotting the court proceedings.
The statement, which was later distributed by Mr Sharif's supporters, was yet another scathing attack on the accountability process being carried out by the country's military rulers.

New Media Investment Group (formerly GateHouse Media) lets the local news flow freely. The company is a leading community-newspaper publisher, with more than 400 publications. Its portfolio includes roughly 80 daily newspapers, along with many more weeklies and shoppers that reach about 10 million readers. New Media Investment generates revenue primarily through advertising; its papers serve ads from almost 300,000 business advertisers. In conjunction with its print publications, the company operates more than 600 websites. New Media Investment also produces a half-dozen yellow page directories and offers commercial printing services.
The company has three operating segments: advertising, circulations, and commercial printing. Advertising accounted for almost 70% of revenue in fiscal 2012.
Geographic Reach
New Media Investment operates newspapers and websites in about 20 states.
Sales and Marketing
New Media Investment itself reported total advertising expenses of $3.4 million in fiscal 2012.
Financial Performance
The company's revenue decreased 6% and its net loss increased 38% in fiscal 2012 compared with the previous year. The decrease in revenue was attributed to decreases in advertising revenue and circulation revenue partially offset by an increase in commercial printing and other revenue. New Media's net loss increased primarily due to the decrease in total revenue, not because of increased operating expenses.
The downturn in the economy and the decline of the newspaper industry have forced the company to concentrate mostly on cutting costs, streamlining operations, and converting to a more multimedia company. The company has tried to improve the productivity of its labor force. New Media Investment also relies on the loyalty of readers interested in local news, as about 85% of its newspapers have been around for more than 100 years.
Company Background
New Media Investment was formed in 1997 as Liberty Group Publishing to buy about 160 publications from newspaper giant Hollinger International (later Sun-Times Media Group). It went public in 2006, changing its name in the process.

Looking for some beauty gifts while out and about on Friday after Thanksgiving? Here are a few ideas:
* Walgreens has a great selection of affordable beauty and fragrance kits in the beauty department. For example, I spotted a Jane Cosmetics mineral makeup kit that looked great and was very affordable.
* Target also carries many home spa and beauty kits. Pick up a bath and body kit and pair it with a fluffy robe for a great holiday gift!
* At the mall, don't overlook Sephora, the MAC Cosmetics Store and the cosmetic counters in the department stores for holiday specials.
* Need stocking stuffers? Look for nail polish, lip balm, mini perfume bottles (target sells a bunch of those in popular fragrances), and various sample size items. Many companies sell trial size kits that can be broken up into a couple of different stockings (great for the Mom and teenage daughters in your life).
Happy shopping!

AlloyUI - Working with Ajax
Company Blogs 2010/03/17 投稿者 Nate Cavanaugh Staff
Ajax is one of those patterns that are a must have with a UI framework, so let's go ahead and jump right into doing some Ajax requests, and then we'll dive into the more complex cases.
Let's prep our sandbox, but this time, the module we're going to use is called "aui-io-request".
AUI().use('aui-io-request', function(A){
// Our code will run here
The simple of the simple, let's assume we're just going to be making a simple ajax request to a plain html file, called "test.html".
That's all there is to it. However, that's not very interesting because it doesn't do anything.
Let's say want to send a POST request to the server:
A.io.request('test.html', { method: 'POST', data: { key1: 'value' } });
How about responding to the server? There are 5 possible callbacks:
success (or)
failure, and
If I wanted to alert the response from the server, here's what I would do:
A.io.request('test.html', { on: { success: function() { alert(this.get('responseData')); } } });
What is
this.get('responseData')? It's basically a normalized property of what is returned from the server. It's useful because A.io.request supports having different types of data returned by the server and automatically handled.
For instance, if your server returns JSON like
{"myProperty": 2}, you could do something like:
A.io.request('test.html', { dataType: 'json', on: { success: function() { alert(this.get('responseData').myProperty); //alerts 2 } } });
You can also work with XML that way. Assuming your server returns something like: <name>AlloyUI</name> you could do:
A.io.request('test.html', { dataType: 'xml', on: { success: function() { alert(A.all(this.get('responseData')).all('name').text()); // alerts AlloyUI } } });
You can also submit all of the data in a form via ajax as well. Here's the simplest version:
A.io.request('test.html', {
form: {
id: 'myFormId'
That will serialize all of the data in the form, and send it to "test.html".
One other handy feature of this is that you can define an ajax connection once, and reuse it multiple times, and start and stop it later on.
Here's an example:
var myAjaxRequest = A.io.request('test.html', { method: 'POST', data: { key1: 'value1'
Now later on, if I want to make that same ajax call again, all I have to do is call:
But what if I want to just define the call, but not execute it the first time (for instance, you know you want to run it later, but you don't want to update the server), you can do:
var myAjaxRequest = A.io.request('test.html', { autoLoad: false, ... });
What's cool about this is that if later on, you want to change one of the properties before you send the request, you can do that as well. For instance, let's say you want to disable caching before you start the connection again:
myAjaxRequest.set('cache', false);
Or if you wanted to change from POST to GET
myAjaxRequest.set('method', 'GET');
Or change the dataType to JSON:
myAjaxRequest.set('dataType', 'json');
Or even change the URI at the last moment:
myAjaxRequest.set('uri', 'new_test.html');
Then when you're ready you would call:
And if at any time after you have started the request, you want to stop the whole request, you can call:
And that's most of it right there. There are some cool plugins that we have that make working with ajax easier, but since the next topic is on plugins, I'll cover those in the next blog post, and they'll be a nice segue between topics.
One of those plugins is called A.Plugin.IO, and it's incredibly awesome, because it simplifies the extremely common task of not only loading content into a node or a widget, but adding a loading indicator to that node and automatically parsing the javascript for you.
I'll go into more details in the Plugins post, but it's really handy.
See you then!

Full-time: Hartlepool United 2 Mansfield Town 4
COLIN COOPER has used a regular phrase of late. He's been worried his Hartlepool United side will "fall short" of the League Two play-offs this season.
Last night he could add the word 'well' into the middle of his sentence.
Loading article content
Leading 2-1 in the closing stages of the game against a Mansfield side high on energy and low on ability, they contrived to collapse in a manner unseen at Victoria Park this season. They did indeed fall well short.
The three goals they conceded in the last 12 minutes were stunning in their nature.
Defeat – Pools' second in a row – leaves them a tough nine points short of the playoffs.
With seven games to go, and other teams, York included, in good form, a spot in the end of season shake-up appears unlikely.
It's fair to say Pools fans can book a holiday for May confident they won't miss the chance of a day out at Wembley.
Cooper said: "It's a result and performance we aren't accustomed to. The goals and the nature of them from our point of view isn't great.
"We've not conceded a goal here in a while and it's hard to take. There's lessons to be learned. The goals and the lead up to them isn't great. We need to sit down, watch again, and make sure we don't repeat the mistakes.
"I think they will be surprised when they sit down and see them again. It happens sometimes and it's my job to analyse it. You learn more when you lose.
"Free-flowing football and goals in the last few home games are very nice, but....'' And he added: "I've been keen to watch the goals again straight after the game. It's not good viewing.
"As a team we look at them.
As an individual we ask what we could have done to stop them.
"Younger players in particular it's a harsh lesson tonight. We have to make sure it's a one-off.'' Pools trailed last night when Rhead, an honest striker of burly proportions, missed his shot, but the defence opened and the ball fell for the alert James Jennings to turn in from close range.
It was the first goal Pools have conceded at home since January 11 – a run of 470 minutes.
There was more to come later on.
Pools levelled with a wellworked goal on 28 minutes.
Jack Barmby, on the final game of his loan from Manchester United, ran in familiar territory on the edge of the opposition area, keeping the ball alive and asking questions.
He fed Jack Compton out wide, who returned the pass and Barmby's shot was halfcleared – but only as far as Marlon Harewood. Eight yards out he wasn't going to miss the chance and made no mistake.
The same could not be said in first-half injury time.
Michael Duckworth, starting in a more advanced rightsided role, was chopped down in the penalty area.
In the absence of Simon Walton, the regular spot-kick taker, Harewood took the kick. But it was a comfortable height for keeper Alan Marriott to dive to his left and palm away.
Instead of going off at halftime on a high, things were flat.
But Luke James has often been the source of inspiration and so it proved again. Latching onto a delightful Bradley Walker pass in behind the defence, he arrowed a low angled finish past Marriott for his 15th of the season.
Pools were forced into three changes, with Harewood (ankle), Compton (hamstring) and Darren Holden (back) all suffering injuries.
Antony Sweeney suffered a hamstring strain after his appearance, while Sam Collins left the game with a giant lump on his head after a knock.
The Stags are a strong, physical side and Pools were on the wrong end of it. But credit to boss Paul Cox – after switching to a 4-4-2 they stretched Pools.
There was some fortune about their leveller. Christian Burgess was ruled to have brought down Jamie McGuire, it wasn't even a foul let alone a booking.
Jennings took the free-kick, slipped as he took it and the mis-hit sailed over Scott Flinders' head and high into the net. Jennings even managed to kick himself in falling when taking the kick.
But Rhead stole some space at the far post when met a right-wing cross to put the Stags ahead and, in injury time, McGuire broke away for a fourth.
Cooper is confident of making some additions to his injury- hit squad before tomorrow's loan deadline. Barmby is likely to extend his stay as Pools enter their final stretch and their last hopes of making the play-offs.

(PHOENIX) — Customers at a Phoenix Walmart feared the worst this week when a fireworks display erupted in an aisle, prompting some customers to think a gunman had opened fire in the store, officials said.
"A lot of people thought they were being shot at," said Ardell Deliz of the Phoenix Fire Department.
Fortunately, no one was injured in the Wednesday incident.
"We treated everyone for smoke inhalation on the scene," Deliz told ABC News, but no one was transferred to a hospital.
Someone pulled a fire alarm at the store, alerting the fire department before calls came in describing the situation.
"This could have been deadly," said Deliz, who praised the store's response. "Walmart did a great job of evacuating," she said, adding that most everyone was already out when first responders arrived.
The fire was under control ten minutes after the first alarm was pulled, according to the fire department, who has released security footage of two suspects in the investigation. They remain at large, officials said.

Fairfax, Westchester, Taft win convincingly in final tune-ups before playoffs
Fairfax and Westchester meet Friday night in their regular season finales and if their performances in the Nike Extravaganza at Santa Ana Mater Dei were any indication, both teams will be in for another dogfight.
Fairfax relied on the hot shooting of Brendyn Taylor to help them defeat Eisenhower 73-67. Taylor hit two three-pointers in the final 2:30 and sealed the game with four free throws in the final minute.
"At some point, I knew I'd have to knock down a few shots," Taylor said. "I put a lot of pressure on myself to perform so it's pretty important to come out and get a W."
Westchester had to sweat it out a bit more as they narrowly defeated Capistrano Valley 45-42. The Comets overcame an eight-point lead in the fourth and had to survive a missed three pointer at the buzzer.
It's set the stage for a rematch that will impact not just the Western League, but the City playoff seedings when they are announced this weekend.
Fairfax won the first meeting 53-46, a game that wasn't as close as the score indicated. Westchester admittedly played one of its worst first halves of the season.
"We've had a couple quality wins since then to get ready for Fairfax," Westchester forward Keywhon Powns said.
Westchester rebounded to beat Orange Lutheran in their next game and now a win over Capo Valley has restored a bit of their confidence. All eyes will be at Westchester Friday to see how everything plays out between them and Fairfax.
"Hopefully we can take care of business and get ready for the playoffs," Fairfax head coach Harvey Kitani said.
In other Extravaganza tidbits, Woodland Hills Taft not only thrashed Loyola 73-57, it helped the City Section go 3-0 at the Nike Extravaganza. It's the first time the City has had a winning record since 2009.
More importantly, it's a positive sign of the City's strength, since it has been a down year for the section compared to years past.
Since Anthony January became eligible after missing the first seven games, Taft has been dominant and after thrashing Loyola, who was ranked No. 6 in the POWERADE state rankings at the time, it's clear they are the team to beat in the City Section.
Just don't tell that to head coach Jason Hart, who cautioned against giving the defending City champions the crown.
"Anything can happen and we can get bumped at any moment so we approach every game like it's our last," Hart said.
January had one of the day's best performances with 26 points and 14 rebounds. It was the exclamation point on a loud statement by the City.
Crenshaw head coach Ed Waters, who watched Saturday's action from the stands, could only smile knowing what awaits his Coliseum League champion squad in the playoffs.
"The City is going to be very competitive this year," Waters said.
Long Beach Poly made a statement in their 67-45 win over Orange Lutheran that showed why they are ranked No. 2 in the state.
While they haven't gotten much attention after losing several seniors from last year's Division 1-AA title team, they proved last week that despite being overlooked, there's still a hunger teams should be aware of.
"Anytime you lose four players of the caliber we had on the team last year, people will think you're in rebuilding mode," Poly head coach Sharrief Metoyer said. "But we have guys who are experienced with winning and winning is contagious. "
Leading the way was senior guard R.J. Strickland, who finished with 19 points. Despite being Poly's second leading scorer, he's been overshadowed by teammates Roschon Prince and Jordan Bell but his strong play gives the Jackrabbits another weapon to consider.
"I just tried to do me and that's all I can do," Strickland said.
A word of advice to UCLA. If you lose out recruiting Shabazz Muhammad, you may not live it down for a while.
The No. 1 prospect in the country put on a show as he led Bishop Gorman (NV) to a 69-59 win in the evening's final game. Muhammad finished with 41 points and was a one-man wrecking crew, going 13/20 from the field and 6/6 on three pointers.
Muhammad is the type of recruit UCLA used to get easily – think Kevin Love or Jrue Holiday in recent years. He's still interested in UCLA along with UNLV and Kentucky but he's somebody Ben Howland and Co. can't let slip away.

The furor over the now delayed deal to allow a United Arab Emirates company to operate six U.S. ports was tailor-made for talk radio. Arabs! At the ports! But the genuinely scary aspect of the deal was warnings from security experts that it doesn't much matter who operates America's maritime centers because none of them is totally secure. The problem pointed to most often is a lack of oversight. Customs agents inspect a small percentage of shipping containers, but the Bush Administration asks cargo companies to supervise the bulk of security. It's an arrangement designed to allow the President to be...

It's time to start planning the biggest event of the year, your Super Bowl party. I don't get as riled up about the game as I used to -- I think it's because players now change teams as often as they change their jockstraps -- but I do still love a good party.
Growing up in Minnesota, I learned in Sunday school that the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears, along with their fans, were covens of Devil worshipers who frequently sacrificed small animals to pagan gods in order to beat the Vikings. When Jim McMahon appeared, we all waited for the signs from Revelation to come to pass, because we knew the incarnation of the Antichrist walked the sidelines of Soldier Field. Back then, it was easy: You hated some teams and had blind faith in yours.
Today we still tend to treat our teams like our siblings, only with more respect. Our teams provide us with great pride -- as long as they are winning. We can't wait to get to work and belittle our friend whose team was "crushed" by three points in overtime on Sunday. Our teams give us an immense sense of pride. If we could, we'd carry around wallet-sized photos of our teams that we could show everyone, like they were our newborn children.
Not about a restaurant
But the lines are getting blurred. Players and owners have no loyalty to each other anymore, and this makes it difficult for us fans. Gone are the days of rabid fanaticism, when you were completely willing to risk bodily harm to confront a guy who outweighed you by 200 pounds just to make sure he knew without a doubt that his team and its players sucked. Free agents are dealt around the league faster than Jerry Jones gets sick of his latest coach. It used to be that players stayed on a team until they were put out to pasture at the end of their careers -- and by then their skills had faded, so you hated them anyway, because they had blown crucial third-down plays for at least one season. Now your favorite player suddenly starts playing for an opposing team, and under the old rules, you have to hate this player -- but you really loved this guy before. If it were socially acceptable and medically possible, you would have gotten a sex-change operation just to date him. So what do you do?
You go to a Super Bowl party and talk about how this guy was so dominant in his college days.
Super Bowl parties have changed, too. I remember when everyone at a party would cheer violently for one team because, at the very least, everyone was loyal to the AFC or the NFC. There may have been some dissenters, but they typically had no interest in being locked in a garage with no clothes on during a Minnesota winter, so they kept their mouths shut. These parties had no women at them, either, and as a result, they were similar to a frat party, only with more vomiting. But now women demand to go to Super Bowl parties because they say that while they like sports, they love football. Unfortunately, women do not have the genetic makeup to actually care about football. Their attitude is that the playoffs are an annual event that doesn't really matter. Guys, of course, realize that the playoffs and the Super Bowl matter more than who they voted for in the last presidential election.
Where to hold a party? At the home of whoever has the biggest TV. Typically, this friend will have a wife or live-in girlfriend, and her unreasonable requests that you "put a coaster under that beer" or that you stop wiping your boogers under your seat will end abruptly when she herds the other women into the bedroom, where they'll lock themselves in and plot the murder of every guy there.

What do you serve? Since your friend's girlfriend will undoubtedly provide quality snacks to impress all the other girlfriends, you won't have to bring anything unless you actually want to eat. Finger foods are not appropriate for guys on Super Bowl Sunday unless they have "hot" or "Buffalo" as part of their names. You should bring enough food with sufficient fat content that all of you are having chest pains by halftime. A classy move to show your appreciation and that you have no hard feelings about her making things called "quiches" is to bring your hostess a really nice six-pack that she can enjoy while she cleans up. Your host should have already realized that there can never be too much beer at a Super Bowl party; you should remind him that you prefer a particularly expensive kind and that he should keep plenty on hand. After all, it's your party.
A crucial planning question: What to do at halftime? With any luck, the network will just rerun the Miller Lite ("Straight From the Jockstraps of the Pros") beer commercial featuring the two near-naked women locked in mortal combat. Unfortunately, after the ad, you'll get the Red Hot Chili Peppers reunited with Tony Bennett, singing tunes to the accompaniment of the Juilliard Orchestra (John Williams, conductor), and unless you've planned ahead, that will inspire an exodus to the bathroom similar to the running of the bulls at Pamplona. Most guys won't have left the couch for two hours, despite the fact that they've each had twelve beers; their bladders may have gotten so distended that their kidneys are failing from the pressure, but they will not give up their seats before halftime, because they don't want to miss a commercial. So now is the time to arrange a fair and organized system. Otherwise, guys will be doubled up at the toilet, with one at the sink, one in the shower and the rest going for distance over the balcony. If your hostess emerges at this point, she could have a fatal seizure, so have the courtesy to barricade her door.
Now you're ready for the second half. I, personally, have watched only two second halves in my entire Super Bowl-watching history. Typically, the game is over by this point. In my younger days, this would be the time for games involving really heavy drinking (a responsible host always had a good table for Quarters). Now, with age and a little moderation, I've slowed my rate to only three beers an hour. That way I can stay awake for any second-half commercials featuring Britney Spears.
The most important thing you want to remember on Super Bowl Sunday is to not overstay your welcome. After all, good manners bind society together. Your host will beg you to stay, but you should politely refuse: Witnessing a murder is not the way to end the biggest day of the year.

No matter what you call them—cicada killers or sand hornets—the two-inch wasps look pretty scary.
Anna Kerns brought a deceased cicada killer into the Observer office Monday with the intent of warning other residents to be on the lookout—particularly children running barefoot through the grass.
The large wasps are often spotted this time of the year buzzing around their nests—a burrow dug in the ground by the females. Male wasps aggressively defend the nesting area, but they have no stingers. They appear to be ready to attack anything that moves, but their only concern is other male wasps. Males can jab with a sharp spine, but they're not capable of stinging.
In fact, some people refer to the wasps as "gentle giants" that aren't really interested in humans at all. They tend to fly away when swatted at rather than attack, but their fast-moving presence easily causes concern.
The females will sting, however, if stepped on or caught in clothing. Otherwise, a sting is unlikely. Anyone allergic to bee stings should seek medical attention.
Cicadas killers prefer dry, sandy soil and may be controlled by keeping your lawn well watered, especially in the area where they're burrowing.
The wasps make their appearance when the calls of the cicada are heard. The female wasp will sting a cicada and bring it the nest for the wasp larvae to consume. The adult wasps feed on flower nectar.
Get brave and place a chair near a nest. Eventually you'll see a large wasp carrying a cicada and dragging it underground to feed the children.

Governor Palin Expresses Sadness at Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's Passing
Monday, April 8, 2013
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has passed away. What an example of common sense conservatism. What a trailblazer. Governor Palin expressed her condolences via Facebook:
We're deeply saddened at the loss of Margaret Thatcher. While the Iron Lady is sadly gone, her iron will, her unfailing trust in what is right and just, and her lessons to all of us will live on forever. She was a trailblazer like no other. We lost an icon, but her legacy, as solid as iron, will live on in perpetuity.

Frank C.wrote a review of Castelli Fuga Full-Zip Short Sleeve Jersey on January 9, 2013
A very sharp jersey! I ordered the red/black XL jersey (I'm 5'-9", 170 pds, with a 41" chest and typically wear Castelli XL jerseys) and the fit is very snug, but not uncompfortable through my chest, arm pits, and midsection. The design and material are outstanding. The three rear pockets and the zipper pocket don't droop when loaded. I would highly recomend this jersey!

Buckunteer's Mitch Richmond PC: Multidimensional pickup w/ scan 11-22!

Buckunteer's Mitch Richmond PC: Multidimensional pickup w/ scan 11-22!
So I decided to get this out there before I have too many nice Mitches to be able to sit down and do it all at once to begin a thread a la pingbling's beautiful MJ, Kobe and LeBron PCs.
The PC is in its infancy, only been working on it for about a year or so, so the quantity isn't really there, less than 300 total. It has a very refractor-heavy feel to it because I love them haha. This thread will show off any Mitch I pick up that books for $10+ as well as notable/good-looking additions. Off we go!
First, some of my fav base/parallels. Tough to go wrong with that 96-97 year with ex2000 and 2nd-year SPx.
Now some inserts. The small one is an old school Spanish sticker courtesy of a trade w/ folkertino. Technically the finest is a gold parallel, but it books $10+ so it's in a top loader w/ the others haha
Some numbered inserts. The SC chrome is /100, SC one of a kind /150, fleer prominence /125, and the Ultra is the platinum version /250
refractors! and the only two true Richmond RCs as well.
More refractors...these are graded!
Still more graded refractors!
Lastly, my autos/GUs. It occurs to me that I need to find a swatch that isn't white haha.
That's all for now, hopefully more coming! Thanks for looking
I collect Michael Jordan, Mitch Richmond, and Ohio State players (football and basketball) in OSU gear. I strongly prefer 90's-era cards and use newer cards primarily for trade bait!
