Suqqu Blend Colour Eyeshadow #10 Kozuecha
It features a sheer peach iridescence, a light shimmery taupe, a matte ivory base shade and then the split pan which consists of a medium brown with satin finish and a darker brown which though matte in base does contain micro glitter.
Using a DSLR instead of my normal point and click, you can see the multi shimmer embedded in the shadows in the picture below, I think this is what gives the colours more complexity.
Though the darker shades are not quite as buttery soft as the others in the palette, this applies really well and the shadows retain the lightweight feel that I expect from Suqqu. Though I've only had a few Suqqu eyeshadow palettes in the past, the pigmentation seems higher than normal.
The colours work harmoniously with one another and I can see myself reaching for this often.
I bought this from selfridges.com

Oooh, this is lovely! The eye look you've done is gorgeous. I never did get to London this weekend (poorly child) so I missed out on seeing the collection in person. I feel like I might need to pay the Selfridges website a visit to make up for this.... ;)ReplyDelete
Hello Jane,Delete
Thank you :) I hope your little one is feeling better now.
I really do think this palette would look lovely on you, I wish Selfridges would do free shipping as I always feel like I have to buy more to compensate for it, if you get what I mean
that is a gorgeous quad... one of these days I'll get myself some suqquReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Lucy,Delete
They do have some lovely things, though once you buy one thing you might get hooked ;)
Ooh... I have been waiting to see the swatches of your Suqqu eye palette. It does disappoint, very pretty. I love the peach shade the best.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Jacqueline,Delete
The peach is lovely, has such a pretty sheen to it. It really is a great all round palette, not a dud in there :)
That is absolutely beautiful and almost makes me rethink browns on me. It certainly looks lovely on you, and i like the split pan with the darker shade.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Zuzu,Delete
Thank you, I'm not always sure about browns on me but somehow seem to migrate to them, I do think this very wearable though, I think you'd really like the top right shade :)

PARIS (AP) — Dignitaries, tourists and Parisians gathered in the thousands Wednesday for a ceremony and Mass marking the beginning of year-long commemoration of Notre Dame Cathedral's 850th anniversary.
The 12th-century Gothic cathedral looming over the heart of the French capital will get a set of new bells in February, one of the highlights of a year's worth of planned events including seminars, concerts of sacred music and the issuance of commemorative stamps.
Archbishop Andre Vingt-Trois and Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe are among the civil and religious dignitaries taking part in Wednesday evening events marking the beginning of the cathedral's construction in 1163.
Notre Dame's new bells will go on display in February and are scheduled to be rung for the first time on March 23, 2013.
Speaking outside the cathedral before celebrating Mass, the archbishop said Notre Dame de Paris is "a symbol for Parisians and for people across the world."
After the Mass, French Interior Minister Manuel Valls spoke in front of the huge wooden doors of the cathedral's Portal of the Last Judgment.
Noting that the cathedral had survived the reigns of "80 kings, two emperors and five republics," Valls said the cathedral's 850th anniversary "is moving for all who see in its towers the image of France in all its greatness."
Each year the cathedral sees 14 million visitors. Five Masses a day are held during the week, and seven on Sunday. The structure took nearly 90 years to build.

The XF23mmF2 R WR is a wide-angle lens with advanced image resolution, capable of drawing out the full performance of Fujifilm's proprietary X-TRANS CMOS sensor. It has a similar size and design flair of the existing XF35mmF2 R WR to make up a stylish collection of compact lenses. The inner-focus AF system uses a stepping motor*1 to drive the focusing group of lens elements for silent and fast autofocus.
The metal exterior gives a sense of premium quality and robustness, and the aperture ring and focus ring have been designed for optimum operability. The lens is also weather and dust resistant and operates at temperatures as low as -10°C, making it an ideal choice for outdoor photography.

Title: A Study Of Anomalous Stars and Binary Populations Within Open Clusters: Tests Of Theoretical Models
Abstract: ``Anomalous'' stars, such as blue stragglers and more recently sub- subgiants, have been an enduring challenge for stellar evolution theory. Recently it has become clear that in star clusters these systems are closely linked to the binary star populations. Furthermore, through advances in N-body modeling, we have come to realize that stellar dynamical processes play a central role in the formation of such anomalous stars. Indeed, these stars trace the interface between the classical fields of stellar evolution and stellar dynamics. We propose a thesis study to directly probe this interface through high-precision radial-velocity measurements of the anomalous stars and the binary populations in four open clusters. We have selected NGC 188 (7 Gyr), M67 (NGC 2682; 4 Gyr), NGC 6819 (2.4 Gyr), and M35 (NGC 2168; 150 Myr), as these span a wide range in age, are rich enough to provide statistically significant conclusions, and already have an extensive base of kinematic, spectroscopic, and photometric observations from the WIYN Open Cluster Study. Our proposed observations will define the spectroscopic hard binary populations (fraction, frequency distributions of orbital parameters, mass ratios) for orbital periods approaching the hard-soft boundary. These observations will also provide a comprehensive survey for anomalous stars, including secure establishment of their cluster membership. These data will allow us to perform the first detailed comparison to predictions from open cluster simulations of the binary populations among normal and anomalous stars, and thereby to constrain the evolutionary paths from one to the other.

Greenify *ROOT* v2.6 Beta 5 [unlocked]
Requirements: Varies with device + ROOT + Xposed Framework
Overview: Never should your phone or tablet become slower and battery hungrier after lots of apps installed. With Greenify, your device can run almost as smoothly and lastingly as it did the first day you had it!
Featured as Lifehacker's Top 1 Utility in 2013 Best Android Apps , Android Authority's Top 3 Best Root Apps.
NEW: Auto-hibernation now works in non-root mode, (need to be enabled in experimental features setting, Android 4.1+ required). If you have secure key-guard enabled, try "Hibernate and Lock Screen" shortcut or "Pull up" gesture on Home soft-key.
Greenify help you identify and put the misbehaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, to stop them from lagging your device and leeching the battery, in an unique way! They can do nothing without explicit launch by you or other apps, while still preserving full functionality when running in foreground, similar to iOS apps!
Please report bugs in the XDA forum or G+ community
Greenify NEVER EVER collects your personal data despite the capability of accessibility service, it just takes advantage of it to automate things.
IMPORTANT: Greenifying an app implies that you are aware that all the background functionality (service, periodic task, event receiver, alarm, widget update, push message) of this app will become out of service during the hibernation except when you are using this app.
NEVER greenify alarm clock apps, instant messaging apps unless you don't rely on them. Please do verify the impact of greenified apps on which you heavily rely.
Compared to other popular tools aimed for the similar purpose, Greenify offers the following advantages:
â—†Unlike the "Freeze" feature in "TitaniumBackup Pro" that totally disable the app, you can still use your app as usual, share content with it. No need to freeze & defrozen it.
â—†Unlike "Autostarts", you can benefit from almost all of its advantages, without needing to deal with the complexity and risk of obscure app components, and never lose functionality when app is actively running.
â—†Unlike any "XXX Task Killer", your device will never fall into the cat-mouse-game of stealthy-running and aggressive killing, which unnecessarily consumes more battery juice.
Note: Greenify does need a background running service for auto-hibernation to work. It is designed and implemented in extremely lightweight, with an average RAM footprint less than 5M, and nearly zero CPU and battery consumption.
In case you cannot install from Play Store
INTERNET: Needed by "Raise Your Voice" program to send back only small amount of anonymous statistics data, without privacy information. You can opt-out at any time.
DRAW OVER OTHER APP: To show guide layer over the app setting UI of system in non-root mode.
READ SENSITIVE LOG: To analysis the wake up cause of greenified apps.
GET ACCOUNTS & WRITE SYNC SETTINGS: Control the account sync of apps if its sync task is too frequent.
DISABLE YOUR SCREEN LOCK & BIND ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE: For automatic hibernation to work on non-root devices.
* Why not support Android 2.x?
* It seems that automatic hibernation is not working.
* Some of my greenified apps (e.g. Google Maps) seems not hibernating.
* I want to greenify system apps!
* De-greenified apps still got no push notification!

Overview: Persist puts you in complete control of your audio with a variety of volume controls and settings.
Persist Volume Control is an amazing app that lets you take control of your device's volume – instead of being controlled by it!
Here's what the reviewers are saying:
★ "Persist is a new contender that's one of the most powerful we've seen, and comes with tons of optionsâ€Â. – LifeHacker (http://lifehacker.com/persist-for-andro ... 1151275713)
★ "A must have app for anyone that has a hectic schedule.†– AndroidFan (http://androidfannetwork.com/2013/11/08/persistence-review/)
★ "Smarter volume control app with predefined profiles!†– AndroidTapp (http://www.androidtapp.com/persist-volume-control/)
Persist Volume Control is extremely easy to use. Simply tweak existing or create new pre-defined volume profiles, and toggle between them with just a single touch. Individual profiles are comprised of: Alarm, Media, Ringer, Notification, Voice (in-call), Bluetooth and overall system volume.
Persist Volume Control also detects when you insert headphones or activate Bluetooth, and automatically toggles to your preferred volume profile. You can even create automatic scheduled presets based on time of day, physical location, or a calendar event.
For example, if you plan heading into a business meeting, simply tell the app to turn off your ringer at precisely that time. Of if you're heading for a workout, tell the app to pump up the volume when you arrive at the fitness club. The list of possibilities is virtually limitless!
Here are some of the other special features you can look forward to:
- The option of separating or linking ringer volume and notification volume
- The ability to change ringtones for alarm, ringer and notifications
- Notification shortcuts for quick and easy access to controls and presets
- Integration with Tasker and Locale via the built-in preset plugin
You can also access a fantastic suite of fully interactive Home Screen widgets, including:

- Preset List (apply any preset)
- Volume Locker (change/lock volume levels)
- Vibrate (toggle vibrate settings for ringer and notification)
- Ringer (toggle the ringer mode between silent, vibrate, and normal)
- Dashboard (various interactive volume controls)
Please note: to access the widgets, the app should not be installed to your SD card. Some Android versions may require a reboot for widgets to appear on your widget drawer.

Viking Saga: The Cursed Ring v1.01 [Full/Unlocked]
Requirements: 2.2 and up
Overview: The story of the game starts in the kingdom of old Viking king Arnar. Turns out, he was cursed by a vicious dwarf.
Not just a dwarf, but Loki (the Scandinavian god of mischief) himself. The reason was simple – a precious ring. Arnar found it and refused to sell it. Many years later, the curse got through to him. This is where the action begins. Arnar gives his younger son a mission to find a dwarf and return the ring.
The Vikings sailed to the setting sun for many days, until the storm scattered their drakkar on the shores of some island. They were lucky, it was the island they were looking for. Travel with Ingolf along the picturesque lands, help the locals solve their problems, make friends with a wise Druid and, most importantly, find Loki to deliver the Viking king from the curse of the ring!

They're newlyweds and newly expecting.
Justin Bartha and wife Lia Smith are set to welcome a baby later this year, PEOPLE has confirmed.
The couple tied the knot Saturday on Oahu in Smith's native Hawaii.
Reese Witherspoon and her husband, agent Jim Toth, Jesse Eisenberg and Ken Jeong were among the guests who enjoyed a reception at Kualoa Ranch following the ceremony.
The Hangover and New Normal star, 35, had popped the question to the fitness trainer last May.
The coming addition will be the first child for each.
A rep for Bartha hasn't commented on the couple's happy news.

SAP NEWSBYTE — SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced that the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), the licensing affiliate of IMG, is using the SAP HANA® platform to power "College Colors Day". CLC is the leading collegiate licensing agency in the United States and currently represents nearly 200 collegiate institutions, including 25 bowl games and the College Football Playoff among others.
College Colors Day is a unique holiday dedicated to promoting the traditions and spirit that embodies the college experience. Organizations, classrooms and millions of fans are encouraged to celebrate by proudly wearing their team colors and share their school spirit with friends and colleagues.
This year, fans can support their favorite university through the Spirit Cup competition, which is a points-based rivalry that utilizes social media platforms to crown its champion. The winning school will receive a $10,000 scholarship donation from CLC. Fans can earn points for their favorite university or college by showcasing their school spirit on Twitter and Instagram using #collegecolors and their school-specific hashtag. Bonus points can be earned by sharing those posts via the newly created College Colors app, which is now available for download. Fans are encouraged to visit the CollegeColorsDay.com website to learn how to earn points for their favorite school, find their school-specific hashtag, and stay up-to-date on the latest Spirit Cup standings.

All contests are sponsored by CLC.
All of the web and mobile applications supporting College Colors Day are built on the SAP HANA platform through SAP partner Fan Appz. These digital platforms are enabling major universities and their retail partners to engage with millions of fans, ultimately helping to lead to increased sales of licensed merchandise. By using the Fan Appz platform together with SAP HANA, CLC will be able to capture and analyze information shared on social platforms by existing and potential "fans" of their brand and use it to hone their marketing efforts throughout the year.
"The Fan Appz platform with SAP HANA is helping our collegiate partners build closer connections with their fans," said Wesley Richard, vice president, Innovation & Operations, CLC.

The Whiskey Rebellion
In praise of booze in the newsroom.
Who would throw a wake without offering the mourners a sip of booze—or at least letting them bring their own bottle?
Cincinnati Post Editor Mike Philipps did just that this week as he supervised the shuttering of his 126-year-old paper. In a Dec. 26 memo, reproduced by the Daily Bellwether, Philipps forbade consumption of alcohol in the newsroom on the Post's final day, Dec. 31. Wrote Philipps:
… please do not bring any alcoholic beverages into the newsroom. Let's go out like the professionals we have been these last, difficult weeks.
Philipps' memo brings a couple of questions to mind: 1) Since when is it considered unprofessional for a journalist to take a drink? and 2) If Post staffers, who were all scheduled for dismissal, did bring flasks to work, what was Philipps going to do if he caught them? Fire them?
It's easy to reduce all of what is wrong with American journalism to the near industrywide ban on booze in the newsroom. So I will.
Every profession needs what academics call an "occupational mythology" to sustain it, a set of personal and social dramas, arrangements, and devices, as sociologist Everett Hughes put it, "by which men make their work tolerable, or even make it glorious to themselves and others." As hard drugs are to the hard-rocker and tattoos are to the NBA player, so booze is to the journalist—even if he doesn't drink.
The journalist likes to think of himself as living close to the edge, whether he's covering real estate or Iraq. He (and she) shouts and curses and cracks wise at most every opportunity, considers divorce an occupational hazard, and loves telling ripping yarns about his greatest stories. If he likes sex, he has too much of it. Ditto for food. If he drinks, he considers booze his muse. If he smokes, he smokes to excess, and if he attempts to quit, he uses Nicorette and the patch.
As Meryl Aldridge notes in her 1998 article titled "The Tentative Hell-Raisers" (from which I cherry-picked the Everett Hughes quotation above), journalists identify with larger-than-life personalities, because that's how they see themselves. Deny the journalist his self-image as a rule-bending individualist and you might as well replace him with a typist. Wherever you encounter bland writing and gutless reporting, thank the Mike Philippses of the industry.
I don't claim to have uncovered a conspiracy to neuter rebellion in the top flights of newspaper management, but I do sense a pattern. The humiliation of urine tests, now endured by most new hires at dailies, surely does more injury to the psyches of journalists who fill the beakers than it does good for newspapers.
It wasn't that long ago that alcoholics were celebrated or at least regaled in newsrooms for their heroic immoderation. Today, praise goes to the "courageous" newsroom alcoholic or druggie who enters a company-financed rehab program. Today's newspaper will fire you for taking mood-altering drugs in the workplace unless, of course, they're prescription antidepressants paid for by the company health plan. And in the old days, great status was bestowed upon the foulest mouth in the newsroom. Today, that sort of talk will earn you a write-up from HR for creating a climate of sexual harassment. Paradoxically, the language and subjects now banned as inappropriate inside the newsroom are routinely found inside the pages of the newspaper.
In issuing his dictum, Philipps surely inspired Post staffers to tote firewater to work that last day. I keep a bottle at my office for the same reason—not to drink but to symbolically cast off the petty rules and restrictions that I imagine thwart me from doing my job. If my job is to kick authority in the shins, how can I resist doing the same to the powers that cut me a paycheck twice a month?
Wise editors know when and how to encourage newsroom insubordination, as opposed to squelching it, because they appreciate Bob Woodward's aphorism, "All good work is done in defiance of management." By giving the newsroom the opportunity to stand up to him, the wise editor instructs his reporters in the advanced techniques of standing up to CEOs and politicians. The wise editor understands that quality journalism requires a bad attitude, foul words, a brawl, and sometimes a drink afterward.
So if any Cincinnati Post staffers were pointlessly slapped on the wrists for imbibing on their paper's last day, the next round's on me.
To the HR police: It's an unopened bottle of Chivas Regal. Come and get me! Or confiscate it via e-mail: email@example.com. Top of the world! (E-mail may be quoted by name in "The Fray," Slate's readers' forum, in a future article, or elsewhere unless the writer stipulates otherwise. Permanent disclosure: Slate is owned by the Washington Post Co.)

The Insurance Premiums Tax applies to premiums collected on insurance risks by every insurance company transacting business in New Jersey. The tax base is gross contract premiums less specified deductions. Annuity considerations and reinsurance premiums are not taxed.
With a few exceptions, the tax rate is 2% of the premiums collected on insurance risks in this State. Major exceptions include group accident and health insurance premiums (1%); ocean marine risks (5% of three-year average of underwriting profits); workers' compensation premiums (2.25%). If, for any insurance company, the ratio of New Jersey business to total business is greater than 12.5%, the tax is imposed on only 12.5% of that company's total premiums. Another .05% is imposed on group accident and health premiums and another .1% on all other insurance premiums, the revenues being dedicated to the Department of Insurance.
In 1991 the Life and Health Guaranty Association was formed, supported by assessments of up to 2% each year on defined life insurance, annuity, and health insurance accounts. Each member insurer may offset some portion of its assessment against its Insurance Premiums Tax liability.
Disposition of Revenues
The tax is prepaid based on the previous year's premiums, with payments due March 1 and June 1. Revenues, with the exception of some domestic revenues, are deposited in the State Treasury for general State use.
Municipalities and counties continue to receive payments to replace the revenue from the repealed insurance franchise tax on domestic insurance corporations. The State Treasurer pays an annual amount to each county and municipality in which the principal office of a domestic insurance company is located. Payments are made so long as the principal office of a domestic insurance company remains at the location established on January 1, 1981.

Everybody knows what a business is primarily for, to make profit. The are two things that control the flow of money in a business, the cost and the income. Companies know that in order to maximize their profit, they certainly would need to minimize their expenses or cost and an easy and efficient way to do this is by means of the internet.
So, the question now is, which would be more profitable? An online business or a business in the real world? Advancements in technology has cased changes in the way businesses run. More and more companies are choosing whether to go online or stay as they are. The world wide is certainly the most efficient form of marketing created by man, making it very attractive in the eyes of business owners.
When speaking of expenses, online businesses are certainly more cost-effective. A normal business would have to face with monthly rents, electric bills, security systems, business appliances and furniture such as cash registers, refrigerators, file cabinets and wages for your workers. It is totally a different story with online businesses. All you would need to start a store is a computer and an internet connection.
Most businesses especially in the city proper pay monthly rent ranging from $4,000 – $15,000, with even half of that amount you can buy a great domain name. This is one of the reasons why most companies prefer to change their way of doing business.
Another important factor is the market. In an online business, you can not only target the local and national market but the international market as well. Consumers from around the world could connect to your business, 24-hours a day.
In a traditional business, you would need to supervise or have someone to be committed to your business and it would usually take several years until a business becomes stable. With an online business, as soon as you have a fully-functional site, you could sit back and relax. The time and effort you have could be dedicated in other more important and productive matters that could improve your online business.
Online businesses are certainly more advantageous compare to traditional businesses but it also depends on the type of business that you have. You certainly couldn't have a hair saloon or barber shop online but you can still promote it through online advertising. A fact is that 10% to 15% of business transactions happen online.
In the future, online businesses would be more competitive and are still the ones having the bigger share of profit today.

Clinical Pastoral Education is a supervised ministry experience that is a requirement for ordination in the PC(USA) and many other denominations.
CPE brings theological students and ministers of all faiths into supervised encounters with persons in crisis in order to develop pastoral identity and skills, interpersonal competence, and enhanced abilities for theological reflection. Clinically trained, certified supervisors provide educational leadership in CPE. A full unit of CPE is a requirement for ordination in the PCUSA and many other denominations.
In preparing for the vocation of ministry, CPE is an essential building block for one's pastoral identity and skill building.
Essential Elements of CPE
- Practices of ministry with persons in a specific context.
- Detailed reporting and evaluation of that practice.
- Pastoral supervision by an ACPE-certified supervisor.
- A small group of peers in a common learning experience.
- Individual contracts for learning.
CPE must be done with an institution accredited by the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE). A directory of ACPE accredited institutions may be found at www.ACPE.edu. Accredited institutions can be found throughout the United States.
Students often consult with classmates to get recommendations for CPE sites; most students note that the most important factor in selection is student compatibility with the site supervisor, along with ordination committee preferences.
CPE may be done either through intensive, full-time summer placements, or through part-time placements spread out over longer periods of time. Many students complete a CPE unit during the summer, in between academic classes to allow for the intensive amount of time required each unit.
Most commonly, students complete CPE after their second year of seminary or the summer after graduation. Some students have chosen to complete CPE for a part-time semester-long unit while taking a lighter load of classes. When a student decides to complete CPE often depends on denominational or local requirements for ordination and ordination timelines.
To apply, students must submit an application to the center(s) of their choice. Many centers have an application fee. The center will then contact you for an interview after reviewing your application. Application forms and more detailed instructions are also available at www.ACPE.edu.
There is no official deadline for CPE applications, but programs can be competitive and fill quickly so early applications are best. For summer units, students often apply as early as October or November of the previous year.
McCormick students can obtain academic credit based on their CPE experience by taking I 312 CPE.

The Alabama Conservation Advisory Board will hold its second scheduled meeting of 2013 on March 9.
The meeting, which is open to the public, will be at Liberty Park Middle School in Vestavia Hills south of Birmingham. The meeting will take place in the school auditorium/gym.
Registration for those wishing to address the board will be from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. The meeting will begin promptly at 9 a.m.
Two hot topics sure to be discussed are the recent proposal to create a southwest zone for deer hunting in February and mandatory check-in of deer and turkey harvests. The proposal to create the zone includes a prohibition of hunters who use dogs during the February time period, which has generated an enormous backlash from the Alabama Dog Hunters Association and other dog deer hunters.
Reports are making the rounds that dog hunters will caravan to the meeting in several buses to express their displeasure with the proposal. Dog deer hunting is allowed in Alabama, although restricted and in some counties prohibited. It is primarily done in less populated areas of southern and west-central Alabama and on some national forest lands. Despite the long tradition, the practice has been a hot point of contention in the last 20 years or more.
Alabama Conservation Commissioner Gunter Guy Jr. has said for now, the proposed zone and prohibition on dog deer hunting in February won't change.
Additionally, the proposed zone in some or all of 10 southwest counties has drawn the ire of hunters in southeast Alabama who want a similar February time frame to hunt deer. They, like the southeast hunters, say much of the peak rutting activity in their southeast counties takes place after the traditional Jan. 31 closure and they want the same later dates.
Two companion bills in the state Legislature would extend Alabama's deer season statewide through the end of February. State Conservation officials have been discussing these bills with legislators, along with a bill that would legalize hunting deer over bait, with restrictions.
The Advisory Board could vote to approve the Southwest Zone proposal, since it was discussed at the board's meeting three weeks ago. With such an outcry from hunters, however, it may be tabled again until the final board meeting in May so board members and state officials can get more feedback.
The Conservation Advisory Board assists in formulating policies for the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, examines all rules and regulations, and makes recommendations for their change or amendment. This includes hunting seasons and bag limits.
The board is comprised of 10 residents of Alabama appointed by the governor for alternating terms of six years. Dan Moultrie of Verbena currently serves as chairman. Additional Conservation Advisory Board members include Austin Ainsworth of Guntersville, Grady Hartzog of Eufaula, Bill Hatley of Gulf Shores, T.J. Bunn of Tuscaloosa, Raymond Jones Jr. of Huntsville, Jeff Martin of Pell City, Joseph Dobbs Jr. of Bessemer, Dr. Bob Shipp of Mobile, and Dr. Warren Strickland of Huntsville.
The three ex-officio members of the Conservation Advisory Board include Gov. Robert Bentley, Agriculture Commissioner John McMillan, and Alabama Cooperative Extension System Director Dr. Gary Lemme. ADCNR Commissioner N. Gunter Guy Jr. serves as the ex-officio secretary of the Board.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Bridgett Hopkins stood outside a black wrought-iron gate Thursday that's supposed to shield her and the other 700 or so Fairmont Terrace apartment residents from thieves, drug dealers and other rampant threats in the seedy Tulsa neighborhood.
Her head hung low, she wondered if things will ever get better at the complex, where four women were shot and killed last month. Two brothers believed to have been staying in the complex with other tenants were arrested Wednesday in the slayings.
"This is not the place to raise a family," said Hopkins, 24, a single mother of three who works at a sandwich shop. "That's not the first time shootings happened here. It's just not safe."
Two killings occurred at the apartments last year, but the Jan. 7 quadruple slaying has shaken the community particularly hard and sparked apartment managers and city leaders to look for ways to improve safety and crime-solving in the neighborhood — moves that some residents doubt will result in any real change.
This pocket of south Tulsa — only about a mile from the swanky Southern Hills Country Club— is home to transients, dilapidated buildings that should have been razed years ago and cautious merchants who require customers to be buzzed into their shops.
Fairmont Terrace property manager Angela McGinnis said several security changes have been implemented since the killings, including padlocking gates, hiring a 24-hour security service, installing cameras and requiring visitors to the apartments to have their IDs scanned.
"When somebody is taken like that, especially in the type of manner they were, it's hard on us, too," McGinnis said. "We're doing all we can to make it a safe place to live and we'll continue to make adjustments as far as security goes."
But some residents, including Hopkins, say they are skeptical of the security fixes and the big talk from City Hall about making the blighted area safer.
"I don't go out (at night) because it's too scary," said painter Rodrigo Fernandez, 55.
Vincent Crisp said he's only renting an apartment at Fairmont Terrace out of necessity and plans to leave if the economy picks up.
"The only reason I'm here is because of the recession," the 33-year-old unemployed cook said.
The two men arrested in the quadruple killing, brothers Cedric Poore, 39, and James Poore, 32, are being held in the Tulsa jail and are scheduled for arraignment Feb. 19. They are suspected in the deaths of 23-year-old twins Rebeika Powell and Kayetie Melchor, 33-year-old Misty Nunley and 55-year-old Julie Jackson.
McGinnis, the property manager, said the Poores likely stayed with other tenants in the apartment complex. She said she could not find either man's name on leasing paperwork on file.
Police had indicated Wednesday that the brothers lived at the complex.
Investigators have refused to explain how the victims knew each other or Cedric and James Poore. A preliminary medical examiner's report indicated all four women died of gunshot wounds to the head.
A 3-year-old boy was found unharmed at the grisly scene and taken into protective custody.
The district attorney's office expects to get the case from police within the next two weeks, a spokeswoman in the office said Thursday.
The slayings, which investigators believe happened at daytime, have raised concerns about whether residents at the complex and in the neighborhood have been afraid to call in crime tips. The killings also prompted city leaders to hastily assemble a public safety group to explore how to better combat crime in the area.
The Public Safety Intelligence Working Group met four times over the past month and produced a list of recommendations to submit this week to the City Council on ways to beef up crime-solving.
Suggestions include investing in a new records management system to better share intelligence among local law enforcement agencies and exploring public-private partnerships to publicize the city's anonymous and underfunded Crime Stoppers tip line.
For those residents who are unable to leave the Fairmont Terrace apartments, the wish that there won't be another slaying so close to home is about all the hope some have left.
"There's always riffraff," said 56-year-old chef Edward Tennon, who's lived there for four years. "It's OK. We just have to make the best of things right now."

NEW YORK (AP) — Women's Project Theater has had a crackling start to their 35th season, celebrating their new home at New York City Center with the well-received, disturbing "Bethany," a play about the negative effect of America's economic decline on the middle class.
Now comes the 2004 Nobel Prize-winning Austrian writer Elfriede Jelinek's irreverent, sharp-eyed imagining of the inner life of former first lady Jackie Kennedy. The one-woman play, translated by Gitta Honegger, is called simply "Jackie" but the script calls for such chameleon-like mood changes that maybe the title should have been pluralized.
A disarmingly bright production opened Tuesday night, crisply directed by Tea Alagic. Tina Benko, with a potent mixture of vivacity and brittleness, fearlessly and intelligently performs the acerbic, 90-minute monologue.
Jelinek has created a witty, sardonic creature, rather than the demure-seeming public Jackie familiar to Americans. Using a heavy dose of irony, she poetically presents fresh ideas about the uses of power and femininity (not feminism). Her examination of the authenticity of a woman who lived in a faked media bubble, controlled by handlers and public expectations, becomes quite poignant at times, as when Jackie muses that she is "only air and deep pain."
Benko gives a magnificent performance, at times vulnerable, at others taut, wry and commanding, as Jackie races somewhat defensively through recollections of her life as a manufactured public figure. She's apparently in a state of limbo that's somewhat hauntingly depicted as a drained and decrepit swimming pool.
Tastefully dressed in a peach-colored outfit, winking and smiling graciously at the audience, Jackie takes ladylike poses and shares oblique or direct references to difficulties in her life. She's repeatedly interrupted by a gong-like bell when it's deemed by the unseen listener that she's not been quite truthful.
"It's a miracle that a picture like me can speak at all!" Jackie intones brightly. "I became a statue as ordered, with a bleeding man falling on it and no one forgetting his face during those last minutes."
Harsh cracking sounds like gunshots also punctuate her sometimes gruesome story, as she recalls the defining moment in her life when her husband was killed. Bitterly, she also discusses his womanizing and subsequent sexually transmitted diseases that caused her to have several stillbirths and miscarriages, and tosses a more than a few barbs in the direction of Kennedy family in-laws as well.
Jackie hauls around three stuffed dummies that are labeled Jack, Ari (her second husband, Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis), and Bobby (Robert Kennedy, also assassinated.) Bobby apparently represents the rest of the Kennedy family mythology, all part of her purgatorial baggage. Marilyn Monroe is represented by a blond Barbie doll.
Brian H. Scott's spooky lighting design is a key element of the theatrical presentation on Marsha Ginsberg's dead leaf-strewn, rundown swimming pool set.
With a fresh, non-American perspective, Jelinek makes clever, cynical observations about a life that was seemingly lived in the public eye. "I am completely private by being completely public," Jackie notes. In the end, Jelinek provides a bittersweet view of an iconic American figure that we were all familiar with, yet didn't really know at all.

Gay rights activists react outside the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington on Wednesday after the court struck down a controversial federal law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
AFP/GETTY IMAGES Enlarge
WASHINGTON — A divided U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday handed down a pair of landmark decisions that restore the right to gay marriage in California and require the federal government to extend benefits to same-sex couples who wed in states where it is legal.
The implications are sweeping for gay couples in 12 states and the District of Columbia, but have little effect in Ohio, Michigan, and 36 other states that don't recognize same-sex marriage.
"Couples in those 38 states have the same legal status that they had yesterday. They can't get married under state law, and they don't have the access to federal benefits that hinge on marriage," said professor Doug NeJaime, of Loyola School of Law in Los Angeles.
Wednesday's decisions fell short of opening the doors to gay marriage nationwide and left in place a provision in the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, that allows a state not to recognize same-sex marriages from outside its borders.
It was a mixed result but a victory nonetheless for the boisterous crowd of thousands gathered on the high court's steps.
The pair of 5-4 decisions disappointed others, including religious groups and congressional Republicans who pledged to work to find other ways to protect traditional marriage.
Writing for the majority in United States vs. Windsor, Justice Anthony Kennedy said drafters of DOMA sought "to impose a disadvantage, a separate status, and so a stigma upon all who enter into same-sex marriages made lawful by the unquestioned authority of the states."
He wrote, "DOMA instructs all federal officials, and indeed all persons with whom same-sex couples interact, including their own children, that their marriage is less worthy than the marriages of others." The four members of the court's liberal wing, Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, joined in the majority.
Justice Kennedy wrote that the 1993 federal law's purpose was to demean, disparage, injure, and stigmatize same-sex couples.
In a lengthy dissent, Justice Antonin Scalia disagreed.
"Favoring man-woman marriage no more 'demeans' and 'humiliates' other sexual relationships than favoring our Constitution demeans and humiliates the governmental systems of other countries," he said from the bench on Wednesday.
Justice Scalia also blasted the majority for scarcely mentioning DOMA supporters' arguments for upholding the law. In oral arguments in March, they said procreation is the principle reason for marriage, and that gay couples cannot have biological children together.
He was joined by the court's more conservative members, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. They issued three dissents, in all.
The California case was also decided by 5-4, but with a different and very unusual alignment of justices. Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion declining to rule on the constitutionality of Proposition 8. He was joined by Justices Scalia, Ginsburg, Breyer, and Kagan.
Chief Justice Roberts said the failure of officials in California to appeal the trial court decision against them was the end of the matter. Proponents of Proposition 8 had suffered only a "generalized grievance" when the ballot initiative they had sponsored was struck down, the chief justice wrote, and they were not entitled to represent the state's interests on appeal. The ruling in the case, Hollingsworth vs. Perry, erased the appeals court's decision striking down Proposition 8.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
As a formal matter, the decision sent the case back to the appeals court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, in San Francisco, "with instructions to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction." That means the trial court's decision stands.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon already is preparing to implement the provisions of the DOMA decision.
"The Department of Defense intends to make the same benefits available to all military spouses — regardless of sexual orientation — as soon as possible. That is now the law of the land, and it is the right thing to do," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Wednesday.
Opponents of same-sex marriage were scarce Wednesday outside the court. One man stood across the street with a colorful sign about sodomy and another unfurled a banner reading "Marriage = 1 man + 1 woman."
In phone calls from Air Force One, President Obama congratulated plaintiffs in the cases and remarked that the decisions came down exactly 10 years after Lawrence vs. Texas, when the court struck down laws making same-sex relationships illegal.
Gay marriage currently is legal in 12 states and the District of Columbia. Now that DOMA has been struck down, people married in those states will have the same federal rights and responsibilities as opposite-sex married couples.
Under DOMA, same-sex spouses could not be buried together in veterans' cemeteries, they had to follow complicated procedures to file taxes jointly, and they were taxed on health benefits some employers provided through domestic partner benefits.
Wednesday's ruling means they'll get those benefits and others now, but will also have new responsibilities. For example, same-sex spouses' income will now have to be included in calculations of federal financial aid, and assets of same-sex spouses will need to be reported on financial disclosure forms required of high-ranking federal officials.
