Party Makeup: Big Night Out Beauty Secrets
Going to a fancy-schmancy party? Step up your beauty routine with these special-occasion makeup tips from a top Hollywood makeup artist.
By Andrea Lavinthal
A Pro's Advice
As head makeup artist for the 2010 Oscars, Bruce Grayson was responsible for touching up every major star before he or she stepped onstage to present or backstage to be interviewed after accepting an award. So clearly he knows a thing or two about how to look gorgeous for a glam night on the town. Here, he shares the tricks he uses on his A-list clients.
Do some prep work.
Get your skin looking flawless weeks before the big event by doing the following: Drink a lot of water, avoid salty foods, reduce caffeine, and get your skin ready with treatments that work more quickly, says Grayson. He loves Olay Professional Pro-X Intensive Firming Treatment, a two-step kit that combines a mega-hydrating mask and serum-packed anti-aging ingredients.
Go for a fresh, dewy look.
It's tempting to use a full-coverage foundation and lots of powder, but the combo will only make your skin look cakey and dull. A better option is to use a sheer, buildable base and a cream blush (Grayson likes Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation and Giorgio Armani Sheer Color Fluids). "These formulas are transparent so your skin shows through, creating a more radiant effect than powders."
Get rid of under-eye bags in seconds.
At the Oscars, Grayson carried Olay Regenerist Anti-Aging Eye Roller in his makeup kit. "It was a must-have for reducing puffiness after a teary-eyed acceptance speech." If you're the type who cries at weddings, stash this easy-to-tote pen in your purse for a quickie post-ceremony touch-up. Bonus: It also minimizes fine lines.
Use a multitasking cover-up.
"Backstage I sometimes have less than a minute to touch up celebrity complexions before they go on camera," says Grayson. That's why he always has Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer on hand. "The dual-color concealer disguises blemishes, covers under-eye circles, and evens out your complexion."
Keep shine under control.
It's inevitable that your complexion will start to cross the line from glowy to greasy, especially if you're working a crowded room or hitting the dance floor. But reaching for your powder compact is a bad idea, says Grayson. He instructed all the makeup artists working with him backstage at the Oscars to carry MAC Blotting Papers to remove excess oil but keep the celebs' skin glowing.
Rock a modern smoky eye.
When it comes to party makeup, a smoky eye is like champagne completely expected. But instead of layering on dark powder shadows, try something shimmery and sheer. Grayson loves the new CoverGirl Smoky ShadowBlast, a double-ended stick that comes in a slew of pretty shades like translucent grays, blues, and purples. Swipe it on then follow with an eyelash curler and two coats of a lengthening/volumizing mascara.
Carry a clear gloss.
Whether you're working a bold red, bright pink, or soft coral lip color, top it off with a clear gloss (bonus points if it has flecks of gold shimmer). "Not only will your lips feel more hydrated, but they'll reflect the light and appear fuller," says Grayson. A good one: MAC Clear Lipglass.
Stay cool.
Stars really are just like us. Case in point: Most of them were really nervous before taking the stage at the Oscars, says Grayson. That's why he kept Secret Flawless Clear Crystal Clear Gel on hand just in case the celebs needed a quick swipe. If you can't fit a stick of the stuff in your tiny evening clutch, switch to a clinical-strength formula a week or so before the party. Apply it at bedtime and again in the morning for a double dose of wetness and odor protection.

Detroit firefighters get donations of toilet paper, cleaning products after shortage reports
Public can donate online through Detroit Public Safety Foundation
Published On: Nov 28 2012 09:55:05 AM EST
Updated On: Nov 28 2012 01:15:04 PM EST
Detroit firefighters say they're getting donations of toilet paper, paper towels and cleaning supplies following reports about shortages of the items at city firehouses.
The department says a temporary lag caused by a change in purchasing caused a dip in station stockpiles, but supply levels were near normal levels at most stations.
Dan McNamara from the Detroit Fire Fighter Association has asked that the public make donations via the Detroit Public Safety Foundation at www.detroitpublicsafetyfoundation.org.

Whether you are a trained, professional photographer or just enjoy a love and passion for photography, Caribbean Sailing Vacations are a wonderful platform for photo opportunities aboard your own floating hotel.
Recently my family and I were trying to find a vacation that would offer something for everyone. Photography is my passion and I am always looking for new venues. We searched the Internet and found Captain Terry at sailwithterry.com, a yacht broker who would be able to combine all of our interest's while enjoying a fabulous family sailing vacation.
After stating our goals and budget, Captain Terry secured a 50' monohull sail boat, complete with four staterooms each offering a private bath, a well-appointed galley, and of course a knowledgeable, professional and friendly captain.
My husband Allen would be able to pursue his love of scuba diving, son Charles has already signed up for kite boarding lessons and Sally planned to perfect her knowledge of sailing.
Captain Terry, our broker explained the benefits of charting a floating hotel in the British Virgin Islands. Multiple mountainous islands dotting the ocean all within 2-4 hours of sailing, each island has a distinct different ambiance and amenities.
Local dive boats with certified scuba masters would pick Allen up right from out boat, take him to a different exciting location each day. Charles would join his kite boarding instructors and become proficient at a new sport and of course Sally was in charge of assisting the captain as she honed her sailing skills.
I was in heaven. Spending time with my family in paradise with so many photo opportunities was a dream vacation for me. The Caribbean sky is a brilliant blue, the water is multiple shades of turquoise and green and so clear that you can see the colorful tropical fish swim by. I hiked up mountains to capture the expansive vista of the ocean, shot pictures of the beautiful flora and the quaint pastel houses clinging to the mountainsides. Mornings in the anchorages were so peaceful and while I was watching the world wake up the pelicans came swooping in for their breakfast catch. Evening sunsets painted a different picture each day and numerous sailboats bobbing peacefully in the anchorage was picture postcard perfect. I was able to try out and experiment with my new lenses. A special camera with waterproof housing gave me the opportunity to snorkel and take fantastic pictures of brilliant coral, schools of angel fish, blue damsels, turtles, a eagle ray and a school of small squid I was like a kid in a candy store, each time I turned around there was a better photo op.
This was the perfect family vacation for us all. We all pursued our hobbies, enjoyed the bonding and camaraderie of sharing our interests and spending quality time together in paradise on a sailing vacation.
I would recommend this vacation to anyone. No crowds, no set agenda, so many islands to see and explore and of course something for everyone, even for those seeking to just lie on the bow of the boat catching rays and finding time to finally read that novel.
Contact Terry at SailWithTerry.com , let him know what type of vacation you are looking for and he will find the right boat for your budget and your needs. Captain Terry has sailed these waters for many years and has firsthand knowledge of boats, captains and of course all the islands and the best anchorages, restaurants, and secret snorkeling places.

Katsav's Conviction a Win for Women's Rights and the Rule of Law |
On Thursday, after a long and arduous judicial process, former Israeli president Moshe Katsav was convicted for rape and sexual harassment. The verdict validated Israel's democratic institutions and demonstrated that no one – not even Israel's leaders – is above the law. The conviction was also a victory for the women's rights organizations of the NIF family. Despite the sadness and shame of the conviction, many Israelis see it as a vindication of the right of women to live in equality, dignity and safety. The New Israel Fund family has been closely involved in the Katsav case since 2007, when a plea bargain was struck with the former president in which he would have pled guilty to lesser charges, threatening to unravel gains by women's groups against the widespread problem of sexual harassment. When the plea bargain was struck, NIF and its family of grantees began to quickly organize against the agreement. Kolech/Religious Women's Forum , the Association of Rape Crisis Centers and other groups appealed to the Supreme Court to cancel the plea bargain, citing the light punishment Katsav would receive under its terms. With less than two days notice, the women's groups organized a major protest, turning out a crowd of over 20,000, to protest the deal. The huge response to the protest inspired leading Israeli columnist Nachum Barnea to write that "feminist and civil human rights values that several years ago were accepted by only the few, are today at the heart of a consensus." NIF grantees also used the case to illuminate the wider social problem of sexual harassment in Israel, and encourage women to come forward when they are victimized. As Michal Rozin, Executive Director of the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel, which got its first funding from NIF, stated before the trial's conclusion, "A successful outcome to the trial for these women will influence others to go to the courts." In Israel's Arab sector, NIF grantee Women Against Violence saw a 23 percent increase in reports about sexual abuse when the initial publicity about the case gave women the courage to come forward. Women Against Violence continues to operate the first battered women's shelter and hotline run by and for Arab women, as well as public education and advocacy campaigns opposing sexual violence and so-called "honor killings". Despite the successful protests, the Supreme Court narrowly upheld the plea bargain. Amazingly, Katsav himself then turned it down, choosing to go to court in the belief that he would be acquitted of all charges. Last week's conviction, written in scathing language by the three-judge panel, made clear that the testimony of the victims was credible, and that the former president had further harmed his case by attempting to threaten witnesses and compromise the legal process. "This conviction is a victory for the rule of law," said Rachel Liel, NIF's Executive Director in Israel. "We could not be prouder of the many women's groups in the NIF family, who represent sectors ranging from the Arab to the ultra-Orthodox, who used this case to illuminate the still-troubling problem of sexual harassment in Israel, and who consistently called for justice to be served." |

Parents want their child to be the best looking kid on the block. While a good haircut and a freshly scrubbed face might go far, nothing stands out like an outstanding wardrobe. You might save a buck or two shopping at second hand or low end department stores for you children's clothes, but, by investing in a few top shelf designer pieces of clothing for your children, you can have the other parents grinding their teeth in envy.
Find One Designer
Do not spend time picking up pieces of clothing from many different designers. Your child's wardrobe will look mismatched and non-cohesive. Instead pick one designer and purchase 4 or 5 garments from their current line. Add garments from previous lines if available. Choose pieces that are simple and elegant and appear timeless.
Adrienne Catrina has a children's clothing line called Neige. As a former student of Parson's school of Design and employee of Vera Wang, Adrienne has developed a unique style that blends the modern and the classical with the lighthearted playfulness of childhood. The combination of styles in this Neige clothing line is a wardrobe that any child or parent can be proud of.
Choosing Girl's Clothes
All little girls look adorable in dresses. A girl's wardrobe should consist of at least 3 or more dresses for all occasions from the casual party to the more formal Sunday church outfit. In addition your child should also have a skirt, top, and dress pants that can all be mixed and matched. This way you and your daughter will be prepared for all situations.
Adrienne Catrina has a Neige clothing line devoted exclusively to little girls. Her current line has about seven dresses to choose from ranging from a more casual classic look to the perfect dress your little girl can wear at a summer garden wedding. As a matter of fact, she might out rival the bride! This Neige girls' line also has an elegant dress pant and a sweet poppy printed skirt.
Choosing Boy's Clothes
When choosing an outfit for a little boy focus on clothes that look young and playful. You want a classical modern look but a look that is suited for the child's age. A boy's clothes should be roomy to provide comfort as well as the ability to move easily.
Neige boys clothing has a wide variety of items to choose from that are perfectly suited to little boys.
With shorts, pants, shirts and jackets there are plenty of pieces to mix and match and create quite an extensive and diverse wardrobe. Neige clothing for boys is suitable for the most casual event as well as the most sophisticated party.
Putting the Wardrobe Together
Once you have a found a designer, the next step is to determine what pieces of clothing to purchase for your child's wardrobe. Look for pieces you child likes to wear. If you daughter prefers dresses to pants than focus on purchasing a few extra dresses. If you son likes shorts better than long pants than add a few more pairs of shorts to his wardrobe. Always try to choose garments your child prefers. Neige clothing has a wide variety of garments to choose from. Pants, dresses, shorts, skirts and more are available from the Neige clothing line.

text: Dear Neighbors, I would like to wish everyone a belated but very Happy New Year! Thank you for your support. I am excited to again be representing House District 33! We are off to a very busy start with Colorado's 69th General Assembly. It was very humbling to be sworn in on Jan. 9with all of the elected representatives, and I am looking forward to working together with my new colleagues to create jobs and help pull Colorado out of the great recession. This year, I will be working hard serving as the chairwoman of one committee and a member of two more. I am honored to be taking on the role of Chair of the House Public Health and Human Services Committee, and I also look forward to working on the Health, Insurance & Environment and Transportation & Energy committees. Our focus this legislative session will be on jobs and the economy. The first bills introduced by the House Democrats will help Colorado businesses grow and will help Colorado workers gain the skills that they need to succeed in a 21st-century economy. Our jobs package will boost funding for Colorado's Small Business Development Centers, support Colorado's second-stage companies, provide skills training programs for the jobs that are available today, and connect underemployed and unemployed Coloradans to technical careers. And this is just the beginning! The legislature is responsible for developing the legislative framework and regulatory structure for Amendment 64, approved by the voters last November. A task force has been established by Gov. Hickenlooper to study the many complex issues surrounding the implementation of this amendment to Colorado's constitution. The Department of Revenue has a schedule of the task force meetings on their Website. Public input is welcome at these hearings. As the Chairwoman of the Public Health Care & Human Services Committee, I will focus on protecting our most vulnerable citizens and our children. We have had many meetings already with state agencies and not-for-profit organizations to discuss new laws to protect our children from neglect and abuse. If you are interested in listening to any committee hearings on the internet, you can find a list of committee meetings on the state webpage. You can also watch House of Representatives on Channel 162. If you would like to get in touch with me, I can be reached at the Capitol at 303-866-4667 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com. The State Capitol is a beautiful building, and you are always welcome to visit. Tours are every hour on the hour, Monday through Friday. You can call 303-866-2604 if you would like to schedule a tour. Did you know that Henry C. Brown donated a 10 acre tract in Denver which is the site for the Capitol building? I am in the process of setting up my Town Hall Meeting schedule and I will keep you posted. I look forward to an exciting session!

Posted 4:13 PM 1/10/2013 : Arizona flu season widespread
TUCSON - If you're feeling sick or know someone who is, you're not alone.
The Arizona flu season has now moved into widespread status.
So far this season, 178 cases of the flu have been reported in Pima County.
In Pinal County, the number of cases is 41 so far this season, and for Cochise County, there have been 102 cases so far.
Emergency rooms are reporting an increase in patients with flu symptoms and it's only getting worse.
Thursday, UAMC treated five people with the flu and since just before Christmas.
Emergency rooms are filling up fast.
The Tucson Medical Center has treated 28 people with the flu since just before Christmas.
Cynthia Shaw takes all the precautions.
"I think that's really important to drink plenty of water," said Shaw.
But this year, she missed one.
"This was the first year I did not get a flu shot," said Shaw.
She had a 15-year flu-free streak but come Christmas time: "I didn't see the symptoms coming on until I was literally in bed, sick."
Cold sweats, low-grade fever, body aches and extreme fatigue.
"It hit really fast, and the fatigue was so overwhelming," said Shaw.
Last week alone, one thousand flu cases were reported in Arizona.
The Arizona Department of Health Services predicts that's only a fraction of the true number of cases since not everyone gets tested for the flu.
"We expect to see that trend go up," said Melissa Moreno, the director of patient care services at Tucson Medical Center.
Moreno said those with cold-like symptoms like coughing, sneezing and low-grade fevers can stay home and treat their symptoms with over-the-counter medications.
"You want to make sure that those patients when they're having fevers greater than 102 and not being able to treat them with Tylenol, Motrin or they're having difficulty breathing, we definitely want those patients to go to the emergency department.=," said Moreno.
And for those who plan to keep their flu-free streak:
"The number one way is to get the flu vaccine, and of course, healthy diet, good rest. Cover your cough lots of good hand washing will help prevent the flu," said Pat Moore, manager of Minute Clinic.

The Next 10 Americans in Space
The shuttle has retired, but the astronauts haven't.
- By Tony Reichhardt
- AirSpaceMag.com, July 26, 2011
Joe Acaba
Acaba (right) was one of three teachers chosen as educator astronauts in 2004 (Ricky Arnold and Dorothy Metcalf-Lindenburger were the others). He and Arnold flew together on the STS-119 shuttle flight, and did a spacewalk together on the mission's ninth day to reconfigure equipment attached to the outside of the space station. A former Peace Corps volunteer, Acaba is the first person of Puerto Rican heritage to fly in space. He'll be a flight engineer on Expedition 31/32, due to launch in March 2012.

What do you mean, a couple of years with the Russians? More like 5 or more. I'll bet a lot more than that to get a man-rated spacecraft--so far an up-and-down thing that has flown only one time, maybe 2, and that will not even reach orbit. I wish the astronauts good luck!

You really need to start using a to-do list. Just THINK of what you'll get done.
--According to a new study, the average person would save about 90 WASTED MINUTES every day if they organized themselves better, and used a to-do list to get through everything they needed to get done.
--That adds up to 547.5 hours, or almost 23 EXTRA DAYS a year in time you'd save.
--The authors of the study say with THAT much extra time, you could watch about 328 movies, eat 547 extra meals, or have sex at least 1,095 times. But you won't.
--The researchers asked people what they'd do with extra time, and the top answer was housework and chores. The rest of the top five are shopping and errands, cooking, managing your social calendar, and helping kids with homework.

I really enjoy sending people something nice! I did a giveaway of one of my "Spanish Lemons" print edition - it went to Pam Smallcomb in Maryland and it arrived yesterday. I loved reading her blog post, where she mentioned its arrival and how pleased she was!
And I sent one of the little cards I made in Spain, to a lady whose husband is a guitarist, because she said he'd have liked this card as his Valentine this year (it was a heart-shaped guitar, that I made for James).
Happy Mail is Fun! I know, because I've been lucky enough to receive some myself (thank you Deb, Megan, Mel, Sue, oh, lots of people actually!) It's great what pleasure can be given, by the sending of a small envelope!
Have fun with your own Happy-Mailing! - 8 March 2012 20:37

I have a few little packages ready to go tomorrow..in fact today I gave a lady, who is returning to live in the UK, a 'good luck' card only to receive an email later from her to say that I had ACTUALLY given her a card bound for The Netherlands ..OOPS! I shall rectify that situation tomorrow!

I was looking for comfortable furniture that was firm and could easily be moved, and this fits the bill. If your taste is toward couches to sink into for hours at a time, this is not the set for you. This is exactly the feel I was looking for, and it looks beautiful. --- The set was a challenge to put together, as the directions looked like 4th generation ditto paper. However, I was able to figure things out and I'm not a particularly handy person. Once together it feels very sturdy and I'm well over 200 lbs. I was expecting particle board, which this isn't. I was impressed. It looks more expensive than it is. --- One additional note - if you notice an error in the shipping address on your order, correct your information online, then call Overstock.com customer service (who are very good) to have the correct info sent to the shipper. This piece was delayed 3 days because the shipping company was prohibited from entering the corrected address that I gave them (the info had to come from the shipper) and they actually lost track of the package for about a day.
This is a very nice set for the cost and easy to put together but be ready to have cushion covers made. The fabric is only on the top and sides - cheap black screen type fabric is on the backs - meaning you can't flip the cushions to even the wear on the fabric.
Very nice color, more coppery rust color than in picture. Took about 30 minutes to put together, allen wrench and wooden dowels. Cushions are loose, covers are zippered and removable, big plus. Will be easy to repair if wear happens over time. Also, design makes it easy to sew covers for if needed. Bought 2 for a very quaint sitting area, just what I expected.
For the price, you won't find a better couch. We needed a small couch to fill a small room, and this one is perfect. The frame is very study and seems well built. The cushions are firm, but not uncomfortable. While this is definitely not a "fall asleep on" couch or a "sink into for hours" couch, it meets our purpose very nicely.
I agree with all the comments about the directions. It's definitely a way too old copy of a copy but if you have assembled furniture before, it is easy to put together. I did it alone and found it fairly simple. There are not that many pieces and it becomes intuitive. The pieces arrived in 3 boxes and the UPS man was kind enough to bring them inside for me. The packaging was sturdy and the product was easy to get out. I had all 3 pieces done within an hour (chair, ottoman and loveseat). The items are fairly comfortable and my teens are both liking them. This was purchased to replace an old living room set and we are happy (but we will be purchasing a sink yourself into it couch this winter). The pieces fit nicely into our long but narrow room. I already had mission tables. The cushions are not fully fabric colored as the back/bottom is a black mesh. The backs are held on with some Velcro strips. It is a micro-suede fabric that seems to be holding up well. I only encountered one problem with assembly and was able to overcome the piece I forgot to use. The wood is not a thick as I might like for furniture we will use every day but for the past month, it has been holding up well.
Recently bought a historical home with very small doors. Our large sofa would not fit so we purchased this for the time being. For the price it's of good value. Easy to put together.
My loveseat arrived on the date promised, and was easily assembled. A welcome addition to my living room.
This is the second Tribecca love seat I purchased. I liked the olive green one so well, I purchased the rust-colored one. It's not really rust, it's more of a rusty-brown. Great looks and great value. Cats can't scratch the sides, either!!
I love this loveseat. soft yet firm, beautiful color. Exactly like the picture. Two can sit comfortably. Three can sit snug. Pretty easy to put together. I took about an hour. I bit of a struggle though, screwing the frame to the legs but I got it ( and I'm a girl (wink)). Great couch for the money.
We liked the look of the furniture, but was unsure of comfort since we couldn't sit on it before purchasing it. We started with the chair to test it out, we love it! It was easy to put together and comfortable to sit in. The previous couch got torn up by the cats, because this one has wood sides they leave it alone. We look forward to many years of use with this one.

State will not reduce SSACI funding
Roughly 500 Trine students
to benefit from state decisions
ANGOLA, Ind. — Thanks to the efforts of college students and administrators, Trine University — and the other 30 Independent Colleges of Indiana (ICI) — learned this week that the state will not reduce State Student Assistance Commission of Indiana (SSACI) funding for the 2011-2012 academic year.
This is good news for Hoosier families, as it means students will not experience a reduction in need-based aid. In addition, Trine students receiving need-based aid also will receive more funding than originally estimated, as officials conservatively anticipated additional state budget cuts for the coming year.
According to the ICI, which represents Indiana's private schools and 25 percent of the state's student population — over the past two years, Hoosier students with the most financial need had their grants from SSACI decreased by more than 35 percent. At the same time, funding for such aid increased in the state budget; however, the number of students applying and qualifying for financial help also increased.
Trine officials worked diligently to provide information and resources to ICI, as well as educational lobbyists. Trine students — and other college students from around the state — traveled to the statehouse in April to voice their concern over continued funding decreases.
"Legislators continually make decisions about higher education, and it is vital that our students and administrators have a voice, especially considering that over 500 of our Hoosier students receive SSACI aid and 50 percent are first-generation college students," said Trine University president Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D.
In a survey conducted by the Tarrance Group LLC on behalf of ICI, 87 percent of Hoosier voters support students being able to use need-based aid from SSACI grants at either independent or public colleges, compared to 7 percent opposed and 6 percent unsure. That supermajority included strong support from Republican, Democratic, and Independent voters alike.
To share your news, contact Trine University communication specialist Lindsay Winslow Brown at email@example.com.

Lingerie designer Chantal Thomass has lent her boudoir stylings to the decor of a new hotel on Paris's Left Bank, seeking inspiration in the seven deadly sins.
The Vice Versa hotel, located rue de la Croix Nivert, is seven stories high to accommodate one sin per floor -- namely wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony -- and has 37 rooms.
Chantal Thomass had fun creating different atmospheres for the seven sins by choosing the furniture, wallpaper, and drapery for each theme. The bar "in Heaven" and the hammam "in Hell" complement the sinful design.
"I was really given free rein for my choices, with some technical constraints, of course. Lust and gluttony were two areas where I was expected to perform, but the real challenge was working on greed and pride, two sins that don't suit my character so much," explained the designer.
To suggest lust, she decorated the rooms with a ceiling mirror, her trademark pink and black hues and heart-shaped objects. Sloth-themed rooms, in contrast, bask in a bucolic atmosphere, complete with soft pink and almond green hues and butterflies.
The "classic" rooms are priced at €149 and their Deluxe counterparts fetch €199.
The hotel is already open to the general public, although its official opening ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, September 18, to coincide with the Parisian tourism tradeshow IFTM-Top Resa.

Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the bill's author and chairman of the committee, said the provisions to give CIOs more budget control and the IT project and program management improvements will have a big impact on how agencies spend money on technology.

Playtime for Everyone
Yesterday while going through our mail, Scientific American Mind's cover line jumped out at me: "The Serious Need for Play. How it improves your creativity, emotional health—and cuts stress" [article by Melinda Wenner]. I was thrilled to see "play" on the cover.
Psychiatrist Stuart Brown is a role model for all of us who strongly believe in play. Readers might like to check out the National Institute for Play Web site, www.nifplay.org.

As a public school teacher of 18 years, I have been dismayed by the reduction of recess time and by the pushing down of inappropriate curriculum into kindergarten and first grade. In a six-hour kindergarten day, kids get a total of 40 minutes of unstructured play. Gone are most of the "house" corners where kids pretended. You won't find a blocks corner either. I believe strongly in public education, but I couldn't bear to put my daughter in that setting. She is now in a Waldorf school, where play is nurtured and childhood is protected.
adapted from a comment at www.ScientificAmerican.com/Mind-and-Brain
My delight at seeing a grown-up juggling on the February/March cover quickly damped down on reading the article. Silly me—hoping adult creativity, emotional health and stress reduction would be featured as indicated. By the second paragraph, I was reading about the importance of play for kids.
I concur, but that's not what I wanted to see. As a professional learning and performance program designer and consultant for business and government, I know the value of play to promote interest, involvement and improvement. Play looks different for adults, but discovery, fun problem solving, creative daydreaming, a little competition and many other techniques produce stunning results.
In my long experience, playfulness and periods of free thought and action produce a sense of satisfaction and mastery for people—in the workplace.

Primer for Performance
It is interesting that the title of Elizabeth Svoboda's article, "Avoiding the Big Choke," focuses on the negative rather than the positive. It could have been, for instance, "Perform under Pressure." As a mental skills consultant for athletes, musicians and other performers, I would recommend starting from a more positive perspective.
Overall, the article was interesting, but I think the part discouraging people from "taking their time" was a little dodgy. In my experience, taking time can often be helpful, as a deep breath can allow the mind and especially the body to relax. The important difference here, which I think the article does not take into account, is that such time can be used proactively to focus on key words such as "smooth" or "powerful," which you mention as a useful technique. Using these phrases with a relaxed body is likely to be more successful than using them with an overhyped one.

How to spot a flood-damaged car
Photo by Mike Baird.
I once bought a Honda Civic with a salvage title. The story was that a young woman drove it into a lake at low speed, forgot to set the parking brake (five-speed), rolled down a boat ramp or something. It was next to new when she did it, and still low mileage when I bought it from the second owner, a grad student who was moving back to a city. What a great deal! Yeah, no. What I learned from that experience, basically, was that if any one component was reused after being submerged, it will fail. And that included things like switchblocks, relays, solenoids – the second ignition failure left me and my wife stranded on a mountain in the middle of the night. I got $100 for it from a local Honda tech and thought I got a great deal.
With Hurricane Sandy being cleaned up, thousands of cars – including collector cars such as the Aston Martins I recently spotted – will soon start to move through the salvage system. Few will be crushed – most will either be repaired; or written off. After that, they end up being rebuilt and sold with a salvage or rebuilt title.
Except, sometimes that somehow either doesn't happen; or it gets whitewashed though a series of shady transactions. If your VIN check doesn't turn anything up but you're still suspicious, trust your instincts and start digging in. I've put together some bullet points to check, including suggestions from NADA and National Consumers League. What other tips – or horror stories – do you have?
Title and VIN
- Enter the VIN at the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) at VehicleHistory.gov. All insurers, salvage pools, junkyards, recyclers and self-insured entities such as rental car companies in all 50 states are required by law to report total loss vehicles to NMVTIS within 30 days. Many are reporting daily. Vehicle histories can be obtained for between $3 and $13.
- It's up to you if you buy a Flood, Junk, Salvage, Rebuilt or Reconstructed title – I've warned you, you know what you're getting into. But again, titlewashing across state lines happens. Watch out for physical alteration of the actual title, too – you know, cutting and pasting, white-out, whatever. You need to hold that piece of paper in your hand.
- Be wary of buying a car sight unseen. It's laughably easy to alter a digital image of a title or VIN. You or someone you trust needs to see the car, its VIN and documentation in person before you commit one cent.
- Even if there are no other red flags, a Carfax can also tell you that a car was registered in Staten Island or Atlantic City in October 2012. By itself that might not mean anything, but if you're building a case it's a nice piece of evidence. Reporting for these is far from perfect, but it helps.
- If you're buying from a dealer with any kind of warranty, get it in writing. This applies to new cars, as well.
- Just Google the VIN. You'd be surprised how often you can find old dealer auctions. Learn to use Google's cache to find old records that the auction company itself has deleted.
Physical inspection.
Salt water is vastly worse than fresh.
- Any funny smell, whether mold or mildew; or from the inch-thick stack of Little Trees hanging from the mirror to mask it.
- Mold or mildew itself.
- Discolored, bleeding or redyed upholstery.
- Condensation in the gauges, radio or exterior lamps.
- Inoperable speakers, or fresh sealant around the door panels.
- Burned-out bulbs in the interior or trunk.
- Silt or residue in the interior under carpeting, under the dash, in the steering column, rear seats, spare-tire well, gauges or door pockets.
- Water marks, rust or evaporation residue (i.e., salt) in the same places. Just reach up under the bottom of the plastic dash cover and run your finger in there.
- Gritty or erratic power-window or seat operation.
- Hard starting, rough running or hesitation.
- Thin clearcoat or chrome from overpolishing; scratches and touchups from grit.
- Bulging dash and door panels.
- Rust on screws in the console or other areas where the water would normally not reach unless submerged.
- Seat tracks can hold many clues, whether they're rusting, or have sand in them.
- Mud or grit in alternator crevices, behind wiring harnesses and around the small recesses of starter motors, power steering pumps and relays.
- Any damage to wiring connections, fuses and blocks, including rust, water residue or suspicious corrosion.
- Undercarriage rust and flaking metal that would not normally be associated with late model vehicles.
- Freshly replaced exhaust in a late-model vehicle; or corroded exhaust. Exhaust is another good place to hunt for silt.
- If you don't feel confident doing your own inspection, you probably aren't reading this blog…but any good local shop will do it.

Or a fish in the back seat!
The second thing I thought about when Sandy hit, after concern for the people affected, was my concern for all the collector cars that will be lost. Good article, thanks!
For all the warnings, there is no guarantee that you won't be stuck with one. There are still states (I believe) that are less than particular about titles being correct. I read an article not that long ago about flood cars being "laundered" (no pun!!) through those states and showing up with clean titles in other stats for market price. I can't recall the details, but it was disconcerting to say the least.
I bought a flood damaged 79 Chev diesal in 1980,it was in a lake for a month, I dryed it out, replaced carpet and seat and all oils and filters and drove it 29 yrs, then when it finally rusted out to bad I bought another flood damaged 96 Ford .in 99 .it only ran 15 years. now have another flood damaged 2000 chev. its been great too. so except for carpets and seats, I have no problem buying flood damaged salvage vehicles .
I think the important thing is that the buyer know about the damage before making the purchase. Damage whether from water or accident should be factored into the purchase decision.
If they've been in fresh water, the damage is far less than salt water. Yesterday I posted a comment about a pickup that was dropped in a lake that was very high in alkali content. We got it going but, even after solving all the little problems that crept up, the truck smelled like that lake, especially on a hot day. And the owner was a cigar smoker.
Wait a minute! you had a 79 Chev diesel that lasted 29 years??? Flooded or not that has to be some kind of a record. Congratulations.
'99 to '12 is 13 years.
but 1979 plus 29 years is 2008
Do you remember the GM diesels of the late 70s and early 80s? They were not long lived . . .-
The diesel used in GM passenger vehicles was different than than trucks.
I had a 78-79 GMC with the 5.7 olds Diesel in it. same as the car version. the 6.2 came later.
A diesel engine isn't going to be hurt anymore than a gas engine when it gets submerged. You just have to make sure that the injection system is completely free of water. I read the comments about GM diesels (which is veering off the main topic somewhat): I worked on them from Day 1 and it was the most misunderstood engine that GM ever came out with. Treated right (and serviced by someone who understood diesels) they got 200-300K miles without complaint. Still some running out west.
Tell it! I see an 80 Burban running around here daily.
Unless the engine was running, and it blows my mind to see the way people try to go through water….then the engine is puke
Engines "puke" for a LOT of reasons. If flooded, most engines can be dismantled, blue-printed, and then run BETTER than stock. If there's scoring from silt-ingestion, DUH!, replace the damaged parts! There are some re-build kits that cost $200., plus You add the "cost" of your time to do it. Tank the blocks so you know those are not plugged/corrosion's stopped.
Another totally misunderstood GM engine, perhaps even more so was the Chevy Vega engine. It was designed as a disposable engine. Chevy dealers were to have engine replacement stalls, and have replacement engines in stock. An owner would pull in, and supposedly drive out in less than an hour with a new engine. At least that was what was presented to dealership staff prior to the Vega introduction. The dealership I worked at never did have a dedicated stall.
Was it fresh water flood or salt water … Once in Salt water you cannot use it for an extended period at all. Fresh water you can use it a little longer . Salt water ruins all the wiring , Bearings and all areas you have not even thought of .
I have removed several cars from Salt water . You can get the cars running again but it's down hill from that day on . You can re use fenders & bumpers and the like if you can neutralize the salt . Parts only .
I think that Catalina Wagon has some promise.
Oh, yeah. That'll buff right out, no problem.
Interior looks sharp. Vinyl, the material for forever.
Au contraire mon aimee! Many poor nauga's gave up their hydes to swathe the interior of Pontiac's.
The top may need a little TLC…
I think that its a Tempest wagon, 1966. The front bumper is like the one on my 1966 LeMans.
Where and when was the photo of the beached Pontiac taken?
"Aye, aye!" said he, "And now we agree," said Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
Thanks for this article. When dismantling my former daily driver I discovered major surface rust in some unlikely places. That discovery answered a lot of questions for me. During my time of owning the car it had suffered from a variety of odd problems and was a money pit. I'm guessing that it spent some time partially underwater before I got it.
I hit a deep puddle formed by a small landslide in a rainstorm in my 2001 Caravan. I was lucky not to have hydroplaned; I had a wave on the windshield. Over the next two years, I had rust forming on the underside of the hood, had to replace the complete front brakes because of rust, and had part of the exhaust system right otff the manifold rust through. Amazing the damage water can cause, even short-term exposure like mine. Every time I see someone driving in water up to the headlights I feel sorry for them and the costs coming up!
That 66 Bonny wagon does it for me, I love the nautical look. Park that in your driveway and listen to the neighbors complain. Just tell them it is a restoration project or your new winter drive to work car.
Yes folks, beware. It is a shame the misery of Long Island is sure to spread to other places. I travel Sunrise Highway about 50 miles worth almost daily, and see a parade of flatbeds with clean looking cars headed east. This is every day since the storm. I have seen two flatbeds from Muskogee, OK on the Island just a couple of days after the storm. We were still waiting on lines for gas… I wondered about the exporting of flood cars. If the deal is too good to be true, it is not true. Scammers are a lazy lot, and will always leave telltale evidence of their handy work. I am wondering where the clearinghouse for cars is on eastern Long Island, or who is buying all these cars that I am seeing. Have to keep digging for answers.

The Pontiac looks like a 1964 Station Wagon.

In Feb 2006 I was looking for anew daily driver. I settled on a leftover new 2005 Mazda3, but looked at some used 2002-2003 Protege5s first. I had a Carfax subscription and a title search for one revealed that it had been recently bought at auction in Louisiana and moved north. No other clues in the car itself, and the dealer swore it wasn't flood damaged (of course) but I wasn't going to take any chances.
I once bought a Chevy van that the owner blew the motor in and then dumped in the water for the insurance.The van had sat for 4 years in storage,well the motor iI knew about, but after replacing the trans,rear end,front wheel bearings and the ecm and some wiring it did run great and was sold,good thing I had a parts van,but I would do it again if the right deal came along
I worked at a Ford dealership in northern California and we had many flood cars come in after big rain storms. Most were totaled out because so many electrical control units are now located under the carpets..so it does even have to be a big storm like Sandy to do the damage..
The only thing that looks worse than this is the 57 Plymouth that was entombed in Tulsa Ok.
Well, there is this 1956 Caddy convertible that I saw on the island of Hawaii a few years ago….
I think a good body/paint shop should be able to get that ready for Mecum 2014 Las Vegas auction.
I own a 70 Karmann Ghia that my daughter drove as her daily driver for several years. One summer, during a heavy rainstorm, the street she parked the car on had the storm sewer plug with leaves and the water level rose to about three feet deep. My daughter worked nights and the storm came about noon so she was still sleeping when it hit. Some of her friends at the apartment building where she lived were pounding on her door to wake her up. When she saw what was happening, she called me and ask what to do. To told her to get some of her friends to help her push the car to dry land. When she got out the street, the Ghia was floating in the water on the street.
With the help of her friends, she was able to move the car out of the water. She then opened the doors, popped out the back seat and left the doors open some. I called a tow truck to move the car to a local foreign car shop. The next day I went to look at the car and saw that the papers in the glove box in the dash were dry, so I figured that the water did not get into any of the gauges in the dash. In the engine compartment, I could see the high water mark on the fan housing, almost up to the top of it. As there is no electronic controls on this car, I figured that there was very little or no damage to car.
The day after I looked at the car, I called the repair shop and ask them to drain the engine and transmission oil and see if they could get it running. Well unknown to the shop gopher that the car was in a flood, he went out and started the car up and drove it into the shop !
It took about three engine and transmission oil changes to get all the water out. Most surprising was that after I got the car home, was that I opened the distributor to see how much water was in it, it was bone dry.
I did have to rebuild the starter as it turned out to be full of water and stopped working after about two weeks.
I ask my insurance company if I could keep the car, and they said yes, and they knocked off $500.00 on the claim amount.
I still have the car today. So not all flood damaged cars are junk. But with today's modern cars, with all the electronics, if the electronic get wet, they will fail.
There are many states that sell older vehicles on a bill of sale only. The car can then be run through another state that issues a title. A really good inspection should always be made on any car unless you want to throw your money away.
I have my doubts about Carfax. If the report shows something negative, great. But what does a clean Carfax tell you? Not much. Their biggest customers are used car dealers, who benefit from clean reports! They have a perverse incentive to be less thorough and collect less data.
Well if you fall for a clean carfax, just be forewarned. I purchased a very low mileage one owner 1995 SAAB 9000 Aero (one of 600 made) from Carmart in Villa Park, I'll.-(NEVER-EVER) buy from them!! I had even had a seperate inspection done through someone the dealer recommended, (also another scam) the car received clean carfax, inspection. I had the car shipped to Boston and not only had the car been in an accident, it was blatantly obvious to the naked eye, broken glass still in the scuff plate screw holes, rear door bent inside with paint missing, poor quality paint on bottom of rear spoiler. Please never buy a car unseen, even with an inspection
it's also a good idea to inspect the radiator. Mud, sand, grass, etc. will gather.
Being from N.J. North and just Experiencing Sandy , a Pro in the area said the best give away is Check the Trunk , Especially the spare tire well for any water [ ring ] marks .
Nice early 60s Pontiac Fixer Upper !!
Dont forget about what is probably the most famously flooded car of all.
The 59-60 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham built in Italy.
At $13,000 they were not going to sell many so they didn't build many. HOWEVER the production lists 99 cars built for 1959 and 101 built for 1960. Strange numbers . . . . ?The story was that a 1959 was being loaded onto the ship when it fell into the harbor. They fished it out and it 'became' a 1960. I have never heard whether a Brougham expert ever tracked the full story on that car.
Back in 1956, being in college and POOR, I needed a car. So a $20 junkyard bargain Merc with a blown head gasket, and water in the oil. I didn;t have money OR time, so I just changed the gasket and drove for a couple of weeks. Then the gasket blew again. Well screw it, I just HAD to get to work so I just drove it with a gallon jug of water. It sounded like hell, but I got the 20 miles to work. Later filled up the water again. Rather nervous as the watery oil was flowing out the dipstick, but drove home to sleep after my14 hour day at work.Again the next day. And so on, On changing the head gasket I noted that the block had an erroded gouge where the gaskets were blowing. Finally I sold it to another junk yard for…$25 bucks. Bought a chevvy with that. A few months later a pal borrowed it and sheepishly came back three days later by bus…?
"Where is the chevvy?" "It burned up, the floor pad caught fire from a hole in the muffler…"
I got a partial restitution of $10. And a few days Pieter vanished from school, never to be seen again. -
Salt water immersion should be considered a terminal illness for vehicles, unless they are made to withstand it. A friend left his 4 x 4 pick 'um up on one of our local gravelly beaches one day, forgetting about the tide. He rescued it as water lapped at the floorpan. Foolishly kept it. Two years later he could easily tell how high the water had been, from the bubbling paint and rust.
Just submerge it in Naval Jelly for the next 40 years!
Just think about how heart broken the owner must be

Water Accounting Standards Board
Accounting for volumes and values of water allocated and traded across Australia in a consistent way is necessary for good economic, social and environmental outcomes.
The Water Accounting Standards Board (WASB) is working with the water industry to develop consistent standards for water accounting. We are an independent advisory board to the Bureau of Meteorology.
The Bureau will use Australian Water Accounting Standards (AWAS 1) to guide the preparation of the National Water Account.
Information sheet
For an overview of water accounting, download the Bureau's Information Sheet 8: Accounting for Australia's Water (PDF 484 KB).
What's new?
Exposure Draft of Australian Water Accounting Standard AWAS 2
ED AWAS 2 released
The Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the WASB have released the Proposed Standard on Assurance Engagements ASAE 3xxx/Australian Water Accounting Standard AWAS 2: Assurance Engagements on General Purpose Water Accounting Reports (EDAWAS 2) for public comment. The proposed standard establishes requirements relating to assurance engagements of this type and provides application and other explanatory material regarding an assurance practitioner's responsibilities when accepting, conduction and reporting on an engagement to provide reasonable or limited assurance on a general purpose water accounting report.
The Australian Water Accounting Standard 1 (AWAS 1)
The Bureau of Meteorology has released the Australian Water Accounting Standard 1 (AWAS 1). AWAS 1 prescribes how to prepare and present a General Purpose Water Accounting Report (GPWAR).
AWAS 1 includes three appendices:
- a list of defined terms
- illustrative guidance
- a basis for conclusions outlining the discussion and assumptions that informed its development.
It is accompanied by a suite of illustrative water accounting reports.
Effects of adopting Australian Water Accounting Standard 1
As part of the Standard development process, WASB undertook an effect analysis to ascertain, to the extent practicable, the costs and benefits of adopting AWAS 1.
Analysing General Purpose Water Accounting Reports (193Kb)
To build on the development of Australian Water Accounting Standards (AWAS), WASB analysed a number of GPWAR to provide an effective method for reading and interpreting the information contained in these reports. Such analysis will enhance the use of water information as the adoption of AWAS grows.
Independent views
The WASB section of this website contains some discussion and draft content that represents our independent views. It may not have been endorsed by all parties to the National Water Initiative (PDF 348KB)
