I can't go without using my clairsonic brush before bedtime. It's part of my routine and I won't be changing that any time soon!
I'm obsessed with my Clarisonic and quickly noticed how important it is to make sure that I replace the brush head every 3 months, as recommended. I have pretty sensitive skin and it easily reddens. This brush is great because its gentle enough, but still makes my skin feel fresh and clean!
I have large pores and the product is helping clean them better. I have less clogged pores with this head than the normal one. I only use it once a day.
When I use my Clarisonic I can actually notice better skin after the first use. My skin is softer and the pores on my nose shrink right away. It's also gentle enough to use every day!
As a person that is prone to acne and has oily- Italian skin (my mom say it keeps us for getting wrinkly), this product is my lifesaver. I pier chase the clarisonic pro before my wedding and got hooked. I truly notice the difference when I forget to use it for a few days. It keeps skin clear and fresh looking.
I recently started using the Deep Pore brush head (instead of the sensitive one that came on it and that I had replaced a few times) and it is AWESOME! My skin feels cleaner and my pores look smaller after I use it compared to using the brush with the sensitive head.
I received my clarisonic as a gift less then a year ago and fell in love with it. My face feels so much better and looks great thanks to this product.
But I hate having to reorder my brush heads. but its so easy ordering from Birchbox and combining the coupon with points earned on my purchase.. definite WIN!!
I have combo skin, with hormonal acne n my chin but nothing that would suggest I need a harsh scrub like the deep pore brush head. I def think it's for oliy and acne prone skin .It will really get in there and clean out the oily and debris to reveal better healthier skin underneath. I need the normal head from talking with clarisonic reps.
My daughter bought a Clarisonic and I bought my own brush head so that I could use it. My skin can be very sensitive, so I bought the sensitive head. It really gives you that extra clean feeling.

We can't take nothing for granted, they are still a solid team and they playing at home. We just have to play within the system that Pastner has taught and we will be okay. It helps that their stronger players are out, but for some teams that makes them it will be a cakewalk. Tigers don't think that way, just take care of business. Keep winning, I hope the Southern Miss vs Memphis game is on ESPN it is our Superbowl :-)
"Southern Miss is our Superbowl". Wow. And people disagree with me when I say this program is knocking at rock bottom.

I was on McCall's site and does anyone have this book? I would love the pattern with the tesselating cats....can't find where to buy it! It was in a magazine, I think in Sept/Oct 2009. Thanks, Sue | |||
I have it do you want me to email it to you or mail you the pattern? J Lu | ||||
That is so cute! I've seen a different tesselaing cat, but not that one. Love the collars with the dangling tags. Would you like me to send you some cat hair to make it even more realistic? I think I have cat hair around the house in most of those colors... | ||||
I would love it if you could email it to me! Free postage! lol My MIL won't paperpiece and I have been looking for a pattern to inspire her....and she loves cats...so.... Thank you so much! | ||||
You think I don't have cat hair? | ||||
Now that's a fat cat. My little girl is so small I swear I feed her but, she always looks like she has been starving. At least she cries like she is.Lol! Tom started feeding her off the table and then I caught her on the table. Bad little kitty mama got out the squirt bottle fast. Bad kitty! Now Tom knows better. After a few squirts at him too. I'll send it right out to ya what is your email address. J Lu | ||||
What a dear kitty! I think she's a Quillow!!!Roll her up and spread her out for a comfy kitty pillow. mmmmmmmmhugs to her tummy. I've got skinny ones and chubby one and I love them all!!!! That's a darling pattern!!! "It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips." | ||||
After taking that picture, I put Princess on a lower calorie, indoor cat food and she has gotten a little less round.... My email is firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks! | ||||
Cute pattern, glad someone had it. Wow, your kitty is adorable and definitely needed that diet you put her on. SunShine Quilters: http://quilterssunshine.blogspot.com SunShine Photos: http://s1282.photobucket.com/u...ineQuilters/library/ My Quilts: http://s184.beta.photobucket.c...r/elainetoo/library/ | ||||
That is so funny. I'll send you your pattern right out. J Lu | ||||
What magazine is that pattern in? I likely have it somewhere. It is very cute. I think I have to make one myself, lol! | ||||
They are on their way. J Lu | ||||
I want to rub me some kitty! J Lu would you be able to share the pattern with me too? I have a friend who just lost her kitty and think I would like to see if I could make a wallhanging for her. joobdobdo @charter.net | ||||
Love the kitty quilt. Stillisuzzz, that looks just like my Buttons that died in 2011. I sure do miss him. | ||||
ok joobee ill send it to ya J Lu | ||||
Ok Joobee its on its way J Lu | ||||
Princess Pumpkin Pie, my cat, is a bit odd, but we love her. Only one little handful of cat chow in the morning and one at night now, and she drinks almond milk, coconut milk or lowfat now.......so she's better. Then, she couldn't jump on the table or counter, now she can..... | ||||
Oh, what a cute kitty-cat. I was at Fons & Porter site today - the new magazine mentions a couple nice bonus patterns... I saw a cute cat pattern while I was searching - (Fat Cats in the City) reminds me of your Princess Pumpkin Pie! | ||||
Thanks Jan, pattern received. judy | ||||
I shan't tell or show Princess that pattern, Jess, but..it DOES kinda look like her, or, her former self. She sort of does have a waist now, she's not fat, she's fluffy! Ok, sorta fat...but very fluffy...lol | ||||
J Lu, I am having a hard time reading some of that, did you get your scanner working? | ||||
I only see FLUFFY..! My mom's most recent kitty was fat and fluffy... we called her 'Bear' (not to her face)!! Her coloring was that of a little grizzly bear. The only thing that looked 'cat' was her head and tail... *laughing*! It was only after my dad that revealed that Amber was getting midnight snacks that we began to understand why she was a 'little tubby'. For such a spoiled cat, Amber was the sweetest! I can't have cats because of allergies, but I sure love cat-themed projects! | ||||
I have my husband here now helping with the scanning Sue ill send it back to you and Joobee as soon as I can get it done. J Lu | ||||
You are too kind! Thanks in advance. | ||||
Ok girls I think I did it right this last time ignore the first email Tom said you won't be able to open it its to big. J Lu | ||||
Thanks received. The news scans are great!! | ||||

Here in New England we're blessed with a fantastic chain of pizza restaurants called Flatbread Company. Guests at the Eastern Slope Inn in North Conway can enjoy Flatbread's rustic wood-fired creations throughout their visit–the restaurant is attached to the hotel. But what if you want the taste of authentic wood-fired pizza at home? You know, with that perfectly charred crust, bubbling cheese, and soul-warming smoky flavor?
(Well, you could build a wood oven in your backyard–no, really, you could!)
For starters, you're going to want a good cookbook. Your home oven can't achieve that wood-fired flavor and appearance, but with the right recipe you can easily crank out crispy handmade pies that will wow your friends and acquaintances.
Flour Water Salt Yeast, by Ken Forkish. If you can stop drooling over the photography, this book offers detailed and creative takes on both pizza dough and bread.
My Pizza: The Easy No-Knead Way to Make Spectacular Pizza at Home, by Jim Lahey. The pioneer of no-knead bread brings you no-knead pizza dough. The book offers simple and fantastic recipes for both pizza and accompaniments like soups and salads.
The Mozza Cookbook, by Nancy Silverton. In addition to a great dough recipe, this book includes recipes for authentic sauce, information on cheeses and toppings, and recipes for antipasti and mains.

Outdoor Track and Field
Rider at IC4A/ECAC Championships - Day Three
Burroughs/Hightower All-East in 110m Hurdles
Four-Broncs Earn All-East for the Weekend
Soroko/Burroughs Head to NCAA Regional Meet
PRINCETON--Several members of the Rider University men's and women's track and field teams competed at the 136th IC4A and the 29th ECAC Outdoor Track and Field championships, hosted by Princeton University this weekend.
On Sunday for Rider, junior David Hightower (Easton, Pa./Easton) earned All-East honors with a fifth place finish in the 110 meter hurdles (14.58) with teammate, junior James Burroughs (West Orange) also earning All-East honors, placing sixth in the 110 meter hurdles with a time of 14.67.
"It's great for David and James to get All-East again," said head coach Bob Hamer. "They have been consistent performers for us all season. David was also All-East during the indoor season so it was nice for him to keep that streak going. They both showed up and did well in a high pressure situation."
Last year, Hightower and Burroughs both earned All-East honors, Hightower in the 110 meter hurdles (fourth) and Burroughs with his seventh place finish in the 400 meter hurdles.
Also for the Broncs, sophomore Steven Brown (Penns Grove) was 14th in the triple jump (14.47m) and sophomore Lauryn Strebeck (Dayton/South Brunswick) was 23rd in the triple jump (10.92m).
For the Broncs on Friday night, graduate student Michael Soroko (Kinnelon) finished fourth in the steeplechase with a time of 8:58.12, earning All-East honors for the second year in a row while also qualifying for the NCAA regional meet in Jacksonville, Florida May 24-26.
Soroko joins Burroughs for the NCAA meet. Burroughs qualified for NCAAs in the 400 meter hurdles at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championships last weekend, winning MAAC gold with a conference record tying time of 52.39.
Also on Friday evening, freshman Anthony Dentino (Sewell/Washington Township) was seventh in the 10,000 meter race with a personal best 30:22.60, also earning All-East honors.
"Having four All-East performers is great," Hamer said. "You come to this meet and you have some highs and some lows. The good thing is that the highs were really, really good and everyone put forth their best effort. I want the team to learn from the experiences this weekend and we'll grow as a program from what they went through. I think it shows how far we've come as a program that we aren't satified with doing 'ok' at this type of meet and that we want to excel and take things to the next level."

So say I have a new "simple" web app idea and it somehow becomes very popular after days of its launch.
I don't have the funding to make an iPhone app of the site and someone makes one before I do. What are the chances of this happening? And what can I do about it before and after?

Bubba Watson lines up his putt on the 17th hole during the third round of the 2013 Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands on Saturday. (Jared Wickerham / Getty Images / June 22, 2013) |
Bubba Watson made three bogeys in his last six holes Saturday to help create a three-way tie after three rounds at the Travelers Championship at Cromwell, Conn.
Watson, Graham DeLaet, who tied for the low round of the day with a 65, and Charley Hoffman are all at 10-under par heading into Sunday's final round at the TPC of River Highlands. Watson shot an even-par 70.
Justin Rose, less than a week after his U.S. Open victory, sits at seven-under par and in a tie for seventh place after a second straight 68.
Stacy Lewis made four straight birdies and eight overall to shoot a six-under 65 and join a group of four players atop the leaderboard at 10 under after the second round of the LPGA NW Arkansas Championship in Rogers.
Lewis, the world's No. 2 player, earned an unofficial win at the rain-shortened event as an amateur in 2007. She is the local favorite this week, having played collegiately at Arkansas.
Chie Arimura and Beatriz Recari both equaled Lewis' 65 and are tied entering the final round with So Yeon Ryu.
I.K. Kim and defending champion Ai Miyazato tied for the lowest round of the day, each shooting a seven-under 64.
First-round leader Mika Miyazato shot a 70 and is three shots back.
Frenchman Alexander Levy overcame two bogeys to shoot a four-under 68 in the third round to pull into a three-way tie with Ernie Els of South Africa and Sweden's Alex Noren atop the leaderboard of the BMW International Open in Munich, Germany.
The three were even at 15-under 201 heading into Sunday's final round.
Craig Stadler grabbed the lead at the Encompass Championship in Glenview, Ill., with birdies on three of the four par-fives in a 65 that put him two shots ahead of Bob Tway and Jeff Sluman.
David Frost was fourth, three strokes back after a 67 that included six birdies.
Police again search Aaron Hernandez's home
State police officers and dogs searched the home of New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez again Saturday as they continue to investigate the killing of a semipro football player whose body was found about a mile away.
The search of Hernandez's sprawling home and vehicle in North Attleboro, Mass., began in the afternoon and lasted for more than three hours. Locksmiths and several officers were involved, including one with a crowbar.
Detectives and uniformed officers who searched the home, its backyard and playhouse did not comment to reporters on what they were looking for or what caused them to return to the house located not far from where the Patriots practice and about a mile from where a jogger found the body of Odin Lloyd on Monday.
Lloyd family members said Friday that he had been dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee for about two years. They said the two men were friends who were together the night Lloyd died.
Police previously searched in and around the home as they try to figure out who killed Lloyd.
Just 21 years old, Brianna Rollins is already running faster than some of the best hurdlers in history.

We stayed one night during a three-day Pacific Coast Highway tour. San Luis Obispo was a great little town and the hotel was convenient not only to the interstate but also to the downtown area. The hotel was immaculate, the rooms were big and comfortable and the beds were great. I won'tt hesitate to stay at the Courtyard next time I'm in the area.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Not My Favorite"
Our room was waiting for us when we checked in late, but partiers went on above us until 3:30am. Didn't sleep well and couldn't wait to leave. Front desk staff was good but not as professional as I would have liked. If you're going to stay here, request a top-floor room closer to the elevator. Those long halls are sometimes daunting.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Most pleased !"
My wife and I decided at the last minute that a beach trip was in order but.... Oh yeah, it's summer and every place on the beach is full or wants a kings ransom for booking a room. We love San Luis Obispo and it's perfectly located next to several beaches not to mention having an amazing downtown shopping area. This was our first of many stays at your […] beautiful hotel.

"Great Hotel"
Very Nice hotel, I which they had Vegan Food and free breakfast.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Great location"
My son and I just stayed one night and found it a very good hotel for a night or two. It was a bit noisy from neighboring rooms at night but the beds are comfortable and rooms are clean.Ulasan otentik tamu Expedia
"An Okay Stay"
The hotel is what you'd expect from a Courtyard by Marriott except we needed to switch twice after our first two rooms smelled moldy (and that was covered up by the strongest, most offensive air freshener ever. But the front desk staff was terrific: They brought new keys up each time and were happy to accommodate us. The blankets were a bit thin; I […] was cold at night even with the heat on. But the hotel is quiet and a short drive to the touristy parts of SLO. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Consistently good service and clean rooms."
This hotel is consistently a great option when we visit SLO area as it is an easy drive to all the local points of interest but isn't in the downtown area. It is close to shopping; Costco, Home Depot, New Frontiers, BevMo, Trader Joe's, etc. and an easy drive to downtown. It offers all the necessities and is clean and the staff is friendly. It isn't […] too big and we have never had an issue with parking. The rooms are comfortable. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia
"checking out cal poly"
Overall very good. However, the hotel room smelled bad--source of smell unknown. Febreze and leaving window open helped, but still an unsatisfactory room due to odor at the Courtyard. Staff was not able to find us another room.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Nice hotel, friendly staff"
Very quiet conveniently located, friendly staff, super clean bathroom, comfortable beds.Ulasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Good hotel - unhappy with room type."
When we arrived at 4PM we were told that the only king size rooms available were "handicapped" rooms. My wife hates the bathrooms in this type of room. Why when we reserved a long time in advance could the hotel not protect us with the room we reserved. This is almost enough to get us to stop using Courtyards.Ulasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Great Overnight Experience"
Excellent; new facility, well kept, comfortable; friendly staffUlasan otentik tamu Expedia

Booking through hotels.com, I no longer get my Marriot's Reward Account credited. This really sucks. I will be looking for a different hotel in the future.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

My husband, teen daughter and I visited when attending a soccer tournament. We found the staff to be very attentive and the room clean, quiet and spacious.

"South side of SLO"
The location is the southern part of SLO and a couple of miles from Downtown. It has its own small bar and restaurant which I didn't try. The bartender had all of his friends there and they were doing shots while I was trying to have a snack. Also the heater-aircon was very loud.

"Courtyard by Marriott - in SLO"
I've stayed at this hotel many, many times before, but this time their complimentary WiFi was a problem all the time, and every time I complained to the front desk people, I'd get the classic "no, we're not having any problems with our Internet". Also, there is no business center, so there are a few PCs and a printer by the fireplace that never worked: […] errors after errors on all sent print requests.

"Courtyard Marriott"
I always trust that Marriotts will give great service - if you've been to one you should be able to trust them all. This hotel was nice overall, but just had a few small issues. The first being the fact the while I was sitting at the hottub the pool guy came over and told me he was going to drain the hottub and it would only take 30 minutes. An hour […] and a half later it still wasn't filled back up. We also ate at the restaurant for breakfast and received the worst service ever. Actually, we didn't even get service - we literally had to help ourselves to EVERYTHING that we wanted. I didn't want the buffet and instead wanted to order off the menu. After about 15 minutes of sitting there I had to flag down a "helper" to take my order. We had to go to the buffet station to get our own water coffee and juice as the "waitresses" walked past our table every time. To top it off, when my food came, there was a nice piece of hair under my breakfast burrito. I'd recommend the hotel in general, just not the restaurant. And if you're planning on spending time in the hottub make sure to check the pool guys schedule! Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

"Nice hotel, noisy AC units"
Very nice and new hotel with very comfortable rooms. Only complaint is the A/C units in the rooms is extremely noisy, more what I'd expect from a cheap hotel, not for this caliber hotel.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
I am a big fan of the Courtyard Marriot hotels. Unfortunatelly this time around the room we stayed in smelled like mildew and bad body odor. Maybe it was just the room we got.

"A useful stop off on USA Route 1"
If you are driving Route 1 this is a useful half way point between SF and LA. Rooms are large, clean and well equipped with a fridge and microwave. There is a small store within hotel and dinner can be bought and then heated up in the room. The only down side is the hotel is out of town and to get a choice of restaurants its either a long walk or a […] drive. Quiet location though and many of the rooms look over a courtyard and swimming pool. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Nice Room, Loud A/C"
Why in the world would a hotel this new still have one of those old-fashioned in-wall heater/AC units? Too loud! I have stayed at other Marriott properties that don't have this. I discovered that I could sleep by turning the system off and opening the room window for air. Not sure this would work in the cooler months. The bathroom was nice if a bit […] Spartan. The DirecTV was good but hiccupped a couple of times. The wireless internet was fine. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I forgot some items in my room and they FedEx'd them to me the next day. This is a very nice property. I don't k now why SLO is so expensive, though. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

"Courtyard Marriot in SLO Comfortable and clean"
I travel on a weekly basis and have been for over 30 years, I dont really care if there are uniformed people at the front door when I get to a hotel. I am much more interested in my comfort and the cleanliness of the room that I am going to be spending limited amount of time in. Very clean, very comfortable, all the amenities in place.

"Courtyard Marriott in San Luis Obispo"
Great stopover point for our family drive up the Pacific Coastal Highway - great weather and great pool.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
The ambience of this hotel was quite nice when we arrived, however it went down hill from there. We had one room with a King Bed and we brought our 17 year old daughter with us. They could not accommadate us with two queen beds because we did not book directly with them. So my daughter slept on the sofa bed. The noise in our room was so bad the not […] even ear plugs could help me sleep. We called and the manager on duty said she would come up and see if she could help, she never did. We called in the morning and they mentioned that the elevator was having problems. Do you think that they may have offered to change our room? NO! We tried going in the jacuzzi and in the morning; it was filled with Mr. Bubbles and the pool was freezing cold at night! The hotel did have a nice restaurant manager who only charged me $2.00 for my oatmeal instead of the $10.00 for the buffett. I would not recommend this hotel if you want a quiet "get away!" There were so many kids running around in the early AM that all I wanted to do was go back to the hustle and bustle of the Bay Area. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia

My five film resolutions for 2013
Published Jan. 2, 2013
With nothing much coming out this weekend, I'll take my hypercritical eyes off of the screen and point them instead at a pinnacle of imperfection: myself. Some of these resolutions are exclusive to me; others wouldn't be bad for the whole cinematic community to take up. Either way, here are several methods in which I'm going to try to be better in 2013.

By Steve Gilliland
When Rae Luginsland was a teenager, he often hunted pheasants with his dad and a small group of their friends. He remembers being the quickest shot of the group when pheasants were flushed and says "By the time everyone else shouldered their gun, I had already shot a couple times."He remembers that those shots were not always true, and that numerous pheasants escaped his shooting. He also remembers that Jim Wedermeyer, a family friend who often hunted with the group, always carried a Long Tom 12-gauge shotgun that would reach out to 50 yards or more and nail the birds after all the other hunters had missed them.
"I always envied him and vowed that someday I would own a Long Tom shotgun," Luginsland told me.
"Long Tom's" were single-shot shotguns available in both 12- or 16-gauge and sported extra-long 36- or 40-inch barrels. A true Long Tom has only the two words "Long Tom" stamped on the side and carries no other brand, make or model numbers.
They were made by the Crescent Tool Company (yes, the same company responsible for the legendary "Crescent Wrench,") and were manufactured between 1908 and 1916 to be sold in any and all hardware stores at a very reasonable price.
Luginsland has photos of an original sales flier listing the prices at $5.70 or $6.20, depending on the barrel length.
All his working life Luginsland searched for a true Long Tom shotgun whenever and wherever he traveled and, after retiring as vice president of Farm and Ranchland Management for First National Bank in Hutchinson, he became nearly obsessed with finding one.
He stopped at guns shops, pawn shops and junk shops wherever he could find them, and says that most proprietors either misunderstood what a true Long Tom was or had never heard of one.
One hot March day in 2010 their travels took them through the small town of Berryville, Ark., where, out of habit, Rae stopped at a pawn/junk shop. He says the inside of the shop was littered with junk and the inside walls were not even finished, still revealing the bare 2x4s.
He searched the store, finding numerous guns, but as usual, saw no Long Tom's. He asked the proprietor anyway and was told that he indeed had one. He said he immediately doubted that the man knew what he was talking about, as he had already searched through all the guns he could see, but his doubt turned to utter amazement when the owner reached in beside one of the exposed 2x4s, just out of sight and indeed handed him a true Long Tom shotgun.
The steel parts of the gun appeared to be in good repair, but the stock was badly broken, and after a little haggling Luginsland paid the man $100 and walked out of a trashy little junk shop with the object of his quest, an authentic 12-gauge Long Tom shotgun.
Next began the search for someone to rebuild the stock on the gun, and the story gets even better.
As it turns out, the granddaughter of Wedermeyer, the family friend and pheasant hunter who owned the shotgun that originally kindled Luginsland's obsession, has a fiancé, Evan Koch from Minneapolis, Minn., who is a gunsmith and said he could do the job.
Oh, and did I mention that Koch lives just a few miles from Luginsland's daughter, Jill, and was already friends with Luginsland's son, Tim? Luginsland told Koch to size the gun to fit his son Tim as he would someday be passing the gun on down to him.
Together the two picked out a beautiful piece of burled walnut and the stock was made, and after a little fine tuning and polishing, Luginsland's sought-after 12-gauge Long Tom shotgun completed its journey from a junk shop to its former glory.
The elder Jim Wedermeyer has handed his Long Tom down to his grandson and Luginsland will some day hand his down to his son. The two are fast friends and still hunt pheasants together every year.
As Rae Luginsland puts it "The 60-year relationship still carries on, only now there are two Long Toms waiting for the shooting to stop so they can speak, and the two third-generation friends can argue over which Long Tom finally got the job done."
It would be interesting to know the history of Rae Luginsland's junk shop gun, and it wouldn't surprise me at all to find the name Wedermeyer or Luginsland somewhere in its journey.

The city of Crossroads. The capital of the world they called it. A bustling city, full of merchants advertising their wares, performers showing off their acts, bards playing their songs and more.
Kathryn wandered through the crowd of the Mercantile District, stopping to look at the stand with a variety of firearms on display. The Angel running the stand grinned, showing off his sharp teeth. He fiddled with the bandages wrapped around his face, making sure his eyes remained covered.
"Hello Ma'am, are you interested in one of our fine rifles? We have the latest alchemical muskets, imported directly from the factories in our fair city," he said, gesturing to a rifle with tubes and vials sticking out of it."
"No, it's fine. Just looking." Kathryn gave the merchant a pleasant smile and moved on, her musket bouncing against her back.

Olympic legacy for Winchester torchbearers
4:01pm Tuesday 4th September 2012 in News By Joseph Curtis
SOME did it with photos, some with videos.
But these two Hampshire Olympic Torchbearers chose to mark their achievement literally – with a tattoo.
Rob Whittington, of Stockbridge Road, Winchester, and Anton James, of Fareham, ran with the torch in Swanage on July 13.
But shortly before their relay they designed a commemorative tattoo with Winchester artist Rob Barfoot, of Destiny Tattoo, Stockbridge Road.
Mr James, 44, said: "I said we should try and mark the occasion and Rob and I put our heads together and thought the tattoo would be a good idea."
Mr Whittington added: "I have been tattooed by Rob [Barfoot] before so I said we should go to him and it worked out great. We were very happy with the design."
Mr Barfoot, who has worked in Winchester for 11 years, said: "I was chuffed with the design and I was really happy to do it. It's great because it's a runner but it also spells out 2012."
The torchbearers both work for Batleys Cash and Carry and were nominated to carry it by a colleague for raising money for breast cancer and MS charities over the past 10 years.

ESPN.com: NFL Rumors | [Print without images] |
"The Cowboys had an uneven season on the offensive line, and Cooper will provide an upgrade immediately. This is a complete guard, a player who is exceptional at delivering blocks and moving in tight quarters, and he moves extremely well for the position. He can deliver an initial blow to eliminate an interior defender and then move easily to the second level where he can line up linebackers and safeties and block in space."

They just wanted to have fun. Relax. Snuggle. And get some great couple shots- not engagement shots, but shots celebrating their relationship. Ashley and Melissa grabbed Kristin of Kristin La Voie Photography and headed to a paintball field.
"Ashley and I first met our freshman year of college at an event with mutual friends, but we were both with other people so nothing really came of it. It wasn't until two years later when we were at a friend's birthday party that the sparks and butterflies really started. However, despite poking and prodding from her friends, Ashley was just too shy to say anything to me, and I was too intimidated by her to say anything.
When I was invited a few months later to a Halloween party that Ashley was going to be at, I knew I had to be there. I knew it was going to be the last chance I'd get to tell her how I really felt, and see if we had a chance. It was going to be my last chance because I was going to be moving to Florida in a week. I figured I had nothing to lose, if she shot me down I was leaving anyway, and if she felt the same way I did, then I finally had a chance to be with her.
Luckily, she felt the same way I did and even though I was moving, as Ashley put it "a million miles away", we both wanted a chance to make this work after waiting so long. So we took things slow and after a million text messages, Skype calls, insane cell phone bills and an amazing surprise graduation gift for Ashley, we fell in love and knew we'd make it work no matter what."

Hy there folks. I have the chance to change my GTX460 1Gb Hawk for one of the cards: HD5870 1Gb HD5970 2Gb(i have the CM 690II Advanced case, so the only way i can run this is in the second pci-ex slot, if at all(not sure)) GTX 560ti 1Gb Which card would you choose, and why? I did read W1zzards reviews here, but cant make up my mind, so would like to hear your opinions. Thanks
you sir must aquire said 5970 and reach dizzying height of blissful fps this is the only choice if it doesnt fit remove the components from the case... HD5970 FTW
Thanks guys, was thinking the same thing. Just wanted to hear some opinions about it. So i will just have to get the 5970 and mod the case if it doesnt fit. Any other thoughts about running the 5970 in the 2nd slot on a p67 board?
You know, you could get the 5970 AND the 5870 and crossfire them. I don't think that 2600k at 4.8 is gonna really bottleneck them. Granted, you won't get the same increase in performance going from 2 GPUs to 3 GPUs as you would going from 1 GPU to 2 GPUs, but you'd still see a gain.
A 2600K at 4.8 Ghz would not bottleneck anything.... Perhaps something like an attempt at using four 6990's or 590's but certainly not the kind of setup he is talking about.
whats a Pc w/o something to attend too seriously tho, 5970 hands down, drivers are more mature for that card now and it shouldnt have probs with anything
I just read this: Dude, if someone gave me a choice between GTX 560 Ti and HD 5970 and my case didn't permit HD 5970, I'd still pick HD 5970 and run my whole system on a fu****g pizza box!
I think i might have read that it does fit if you take out the harddrive slots. (which apparently are removable) It was a bit of a hot topic at the time.
Holy shit I can't believe your rocking a P5B in the same rig as an 5970 +1 5970, silly question really and as others have said if it doesn't fit, make it!!!
I'd put RAM sinks on the VRM of that board, it'd help. http://www.overclock.net/t/943109/about-vrms-mosfets-motherboard-safety-with-125w-tdp-processors The card is too beasty for that mobo IMO; it'd make a potential failure point on the old liquid caps and ring-choke's of that board.

So-called "free" health care system as the French one, leads to entitle people in what they end up perceiving as a "human right" with no counterpart. As I have seen there, the less educated, the less responsible citizen start abusing the system and drive it to bankruptcy. It holds together as long as the doctors, the nurses accept to be paid like unqualified workers, and work 70 hours a week when the rest of the country barely work 35. At the end of the rope, as the system is now, restriction start to be implemented, rationing, technology lagging, and a second privatized tier system takes over, gutting the mandate of its essence, solidarity and equal access to care. I have lived there 35 years, and seen the long never ending painstaking descent to deliquescence, then bankruptcy, all the new taxes added to the burden of the French economy, the slowing of growth, the fleeing of talents, the explosion of unemployment, abandon of strategic budget like Defense, Justice, Education, all of these, supposedly to slow the irremediable sinking, but, naturally speeding even more the process that will lead France to default.
Last year French health care deficit was a staggering 45 Billion Euros, or $60 billion, which would be $400 billion in the USA ( population and cost adjusted)!
The price the French, and more generally the European pay for their not-so "free" systems is
high unemployment, slow growth, and rampant but certain bankruptcy.
On the other hand, good health care coverage profits vastly the economy, in assuring it of relying on more dependable and less stressed workforce. Mc Cain proposal of creating a $5,000 tax credit per family, was the simplest, easiest and fairest way to allow everybody to get an health insurance. No mandate was necessary, when if you would not get an insurance you would not get the money. Period.
Democrats preferred an inapplicable, incomprehensible 40,000 pages reform to mimick the bureaucratic European social democracy ways they always admire and long so much for.
The US is spending ~50% more than France on health-care (~17% v.s ~12%) for similar performance, so the argument that universal coverage leads to ballooning costs seems shaky.
The "health care deficit" you mention seems a bit artificial also: clearly medical services cost money, so it's hard to imagine how health care could have anything but a deficit. If this is the part of the cost that has to be covered by the government, it is interesting to note that McCain's proposal of a $5,000 tax credit per household works out to a $600 billion "deficit" for health care under this plan. Again, about 50% more than the $400 billion extrapolated from the French system.
You seem to be very critical of the French healthcare system, though it is quality care, provides universal coverage, and still manages to cost less than the sytem in place in the US.
The French also have a system in which "quality care" is not always easily accessible to all. As an example, a coworker is married to a french national, her mother had headaches. over the course of 18 or so months of doctor visits and referals to specialists they allowed a CAT scan. They found a brain tumor. She was unalbe to schedule an appointment within the national healthcare system for another 9 months despite the fact that the worst case scenario given to her was that she could die from one of the potential conditions in 6 months. that particular condition was rare so they assumed it to be low risk. Ultimately she flew here and saw a specialist within a month and paid out of pocket.
In this country, we have the ability to walk down the street, get a second opinion or find a doctor willing to see us on our own timeline often within the healthcare plan that we have. for more serious cases where cost does not outweigh benefit we can choose to go outside of our plan and pay for the quality of care that we want. National plans do not give you that option.
"She was unalbe to schedule an appointment within the national healthcare system..."
I'm familiar with the French health care system (I lived there for 2 years) and find this story extremely difficult to believe. In fact, a friend is a neurologist there and I'll ask him, but in my experience you simply make an appointment and see any doctor you want. It's a good deal less bureaucratic than American health care.
the less educated are the less responsible??? well I guess I have to agree - the republican party is full of those....
Just relaying the story. We got in great detail as the daughter's husband was away on business and my wife is the one she vented to for hours. We also got the story again soon thereafter when her mother arrived for her impromptu vacation/doctor's appointment.
I have no idea why she was unable to see a doctor within a reasonable timeframe, but the viable solution was to exit the system and go somewhere that the government did not run the show.
How did you manage to live (pardon, survive) for 35 (thirtyfive) years in such a "bureaucratic European social democracy"? Must have been really a miserable life....
I live in Taiwan, where they copied Medicare and gave it to everyone. It's super cheap and I got two MRI's on a week's notice.
I find your horror story disingenuous.
You seem to make a confusion about the word "deficit". Deficit is not the cost of healthcare. Deficit means that the taxes, social charges paid by the French for there health care insurance were short of 25 Billion Euros, plus the taxes specifically dedicated to reimburse the passed deficits, CSG and RDS that amount to 6+% of all wages paid in France ( roughly 15 billion Euros).
Plus having dealt a lot with French public accounting, o say "book cooking", these figures are probably wayyyyy underestimated..
It was. I fled abroad ( in the USA)like hundred of French jobs creators. I pay $12,000 a year for my familly plan, which is twice as less than what I was paying in France through taxes, social charges and complementary insurance....
I did receive a reply from the neurologist in France and he wrote (my translation):
For the health system in France, problems with access exist and usually are due to the lack of doctors in certain regions (usually rural areas) and for certain specialists. Sometimes one can obtain an appointment more rapidly in the private sector but it is not always more expensive for the insured.
On the other hand, it seems very unlikely to me to not receive a quick medical consultation or a hospital service if a serious pathology has been identified in a patient. This story seems pretty unreasonable to me… but strange things can happen anywhere.

I do like to keep her happy though, so I play this a lot.

FORT WORTH -- Almost 50 years have passed since President John F. Kennedy spoke to a large cheering crowd outside the Hotel Texas in downtown Fort Worth, yet former House Speaker Jim Wright still struggles to understand how within hours of that joyous visit events would so horribly change.
He describes Nov. 22, 1963, the day Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, as the saddest day of his career."I was personally so stricken by it, I did not get on the airplane to go back to Washington," Wright said in a recent interview with the Star-Telegram. "I felt there was something here to be done."This morning, Wright, 89, joined Fort Worth business and civic leaders to dedicate the JFK Tribute at Eighth and Main streets, outside what is now the Hilton hotel, where Kennedy made one of his last public appearances and spent his last night."This isn't about the tragedy in Dallas. This is about the welcome here. ... Fort Worth's story has been almost forgotten," Mayor Betsy Price said during the morning ceremony.The tribute features an 8-foot bronze statue of Kennedy, placed near the spot where he stood on a makeshift platform to greet thousands who gathered that morning. The tribute also features a granite wall containing iconic photographs and quotes from Kennedy that morning, and some of Wright's recollection of the day.Wright, then a young congressman representing Fort Worth, was asked by Vice President Lyndon Johnson to help arrange visits in Texas for two days that November. Fort Worth was one of those stops. The day was to end with a dinner in Austin."I wanted plain citizens to have a chance to see and hear their president," Wright once wrote. No sitting president had been in Fort Worth since 1936.That morning, with Kennedy scheduled to speak at a Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce breakfast, Wright says, he prevailed upon Kennedy to greet the crowd swelling outside the hotel to see him."I think some of the Secret Service people did not like the idea of having that open-area appearance," Wright said."The president didn't mind. He did not object to it. He was delighted to do it, he said."The memorial has been planned for some time, but the project got a boost in 2009 when the City Council approved spending $250,000 to fund an assessment of General Worth Square.In January 2011, Taylor and Shirlee Gandy, with the backing of Downtown Fort Worth Inc., started a $2 million public fundraising effort.Construction began in February. Dozens of prominent residents, as well as foundations and trusts, contributed.Among the largest donors are the Gandys, Downtown Fort Worth Inc., the city, the Jane and John Justin Foundation, the Martha Sue Parr Trust, Bob and Janice Simpson, the Tarrant County Commissioners Court, and the Ann L. and Carol Greene Rhodes Charitable Trust. Wright said the tribute is a long time coming."I guess that there are dates that will be remembered by those of us old enough to be impressionable. As long as we live, we will remember where we were and what we were doing when we learned of the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7. Everyone pretty well remembers where he or she was when President Roosevelt died in 1945. Everyone remembers with some clarity where he or she was when 9-11 occurred," Wright said. "Most folks will remember where they were when they learned of John Kennedy's death."Lasting relationshipWright met Kennedy in the mid-1950s, around the start of Wright's first term in Congress. He was doing a television broadcast to Fort Worth from Washington as a public service and asked Kennedy to be a guest to discuss his new book, Profiles in Courage. Kennedy agreed.It was a coup for Wright that Kennedy would later come to Fort Worth."It meant a great, great deal because I had been active on the Kennedy-Johnson campaign," Wright said.Wright was among several dignitaries who came outside the Hotel Texas that morning and stood by Kennedy on the platform. He recalls how Kennedy, without hesitation, plunged into the crowd to shake hands."The crowd was so joyous. They loved him," Wright said.Many area residents remember the day in great detail.Carol Clark Williams, 59, of Haltom City said her mother, Jere Clark, woke her and her sister, Carla, early that morning to head downtown. She remembers standing in the crowd, looking up and seeing the armed agents on rooftops."I thought, 'Wow, all this to protect the president,'" Williams said.Later, Kennedy stopped to greet her mother, then leaned down to Williams, 10, and her sister, 7, and asked what grade they were in. He shook their hands."That is one of the things that has been such a part of me," Williams said.Bob Allen, 63, owner of 1 Priority Environmental Services in Fort Worth, was 14 and a Kennedy fanatic. He skipped school and made it downtown on his motorcycle, stood in the crowd outside the hotel, but also worked his way in and shook Kennedy's hand."I just threaded my way through the crowd," Allen said. "I was a small kid. I'll never forget that day. He was my hero."Likewise, Mary Catherine Monroe, 68, a U.S. history teacher in Arlington, was in the crowd with Texas Christian University classmates and her history professor."It was a defining moment for my generation," Monroe said. "It changed my politics. The assassination changed everything."'I thought it was a backfire'Inside the ballroom, Kennedy spoke about events in Fort Worth's history and the important role the city played in the nation's defense, referring to the military work at General Dynamics and Bell Helicopter, among other things."He didn't ask for votes. He didn't ask for money, campaign contributions, nothing like that," Wright said."He boasted on Fort Worth. I was very happy he had been bragging on my hometown and he had said nice things about me. When the president of the United States comes to your home and says nice things about you ... that doesn't happen every day."Wright would accompany Kennedy and the others to Dallas to be part of Kennedy's motorcade through downtown. Wright was in the sixth car in the procession behind Kennedy's car."When we got to Dallas, there was a joyous reception for him in the streets," Wright said.But then panic set in, Wright said, when he heard shots and saw the horror on the faces in the crowd."I heard that first shot and thought, 'Oh, for Pete's sake.' I thought it was a backfire. Then the second one came. I thought someone was trying to fire a 21-gun salute with a rifle. I didn't realize what was happening."Wright said he often thinks about that day and says it's not always easy to talk about."It was just a difficult experience to overcome," he said."I don't know that I did fully overcome it."Sandra Baker, 817-390-7727Twitter: @SandraBakerFWSTBy the numbers

February 15, 1999 Feeding Center Opened in AngolaMSF has opened a therapeutic feeding center (TFC) in the provincial capital of Malanje in Angola. Forty-four children with symptoms of serious malnutrition have already been admitted. The TFC has the capacity to treat 200 children. A supplementary feeding center built to accommodate 400 children will begin operating at the end of this week. Two additional feeding centers will be opened at a later stage if necessary. MSF outreach workers are walking through Malanje with megaphones to inform residents about the feeding centers and the services provided there. Three MSF international volunteers are working with 30 local staff members to set up and run the Malanje centers. The situation was relatively calm in Malanje last week although there were still reports of regular bombardments in the outer suburbs and around the airfield. War on the Border of Ethiopia and EritreaTo treat victims of the current flare-up of violence along the border between Ethipoia and Eritrea, an MSF surgical team arrived in Mekelle, the capital of the Ethiopian province of Tigray, last week. The surgeon, an anesthesiologist, and a surgical nurse will work in Mekelle Hospital with local medical staff members who have just finished a two-month MSF surgical training course. Although fighting is not taking place in Mekelle, which is 160 kilometers from the border with Eritrea, the number of war victims arriving in the provincial capital has caused an emergency situation. Many additional wounded are reported to be on both sides of the front lines. MSF's extensive programs throughout Ethiopia continue to operate. A kala azar program in Dansha, northwestern Ethiopia, which was originally based in Humera near the Eritrean border, was moved last November when tensions began to increase. Additional MSF programs in Ethiopia include a surgical training program in Woldya Hospital in the North Wolo Region; a water and sanitation program in Sekota, North Wollo; a water program for 14,000 Sudanese refugees in Bonga, western Ethiopia; as well as extensive medical programs in Dubti in the Afar Region of northeastern Ethiopia, and Jijiga in the Somali National Regional State in eastern Ethiopia. In the southern part of the country, MSF is also operating kala azar and primary health care programs. In the capital of Addis Ababa, MSF has two HIV/AIDS programs. Exploratory Missions in IndonesiaWith the permission of the Indonesian government, MSF is carrying out exploratory missions to various parts of Indonesia to determine what MSF might do to assist the existing health care system. Instability in Indonesia has had a negative impact on the functioning of the system. One team is currently traveling in the province of Aceh on the island of Sumatra, and another team is in West Kalimantan. In the near future, assessment visits may also be made to Ambon in the Moluccas, East Timor, and the capital of Jakarta. "The Indonesian authorities are surprisingly open, which makes it possible for us to do our work much faster than we expected," says country manager Wayne Ulrich. Post-Emergency Programs in ColombiaImmediately following the earthquake in Colombia, three MSF teams were on the scene delivering medicines, surgical supplies, clean drinking water, and shelter materials, as well as primary health care and surgical support, to victims of the disaster. Now that the initial emergency is over, MSF is evaluating long-term needs in the region. One new project will be a mental health program for those injured and displaced by the earthquake. |

Topman Mainline FW12 Lookbook
How dark and mysterious.
Topman's FW12 collection reminds us of a well-dressed hitchhiking gentleman of the South West. Thanks to the reasonably-priced retailer, guys can get all Americana up in their wardrobe without having to scour hundreds of vintage stores.
The collection features clean shirting with graphic orchid prints, 'white noise' knits, structured wool blazers, fur-lined hoodies and occasional glimpses of classic houndstooth, along with lots of denim, shearling, and a couple of wide-brimmed hats and Aztec-type prints to top it off.
Models Jester, Jackson Rado and Joseph Ferns get the dark and mysterious treatment in this lookbook, shot by Laurence Ellis.

The Big Backyard: Wine and Music at Redbanks
07-Feb-2012 | The Eight Hours Day long weekend will see the sleepy village of Nugent throw open the farm gates to host the biggest backyard party ever seen in southern Tasmania.
The Big Backyard: Wine and Music at Redbanks has burst on to Tasmania's festival calendar, championing the talents of local musicians, winemakers and artisans. The event will be held from 11am to 9.30pm on Sunday, March 11 2012, at Redbanks Fish and Field in Nugent.Redbanks owner Lindsay White welcomed all to share a "glass on the grass" at the family-friendly event. "There will be food and drink to buy; Gillespie's Ginger Beer will be here plus local vineyards Yaxley Estate, Bream Creek, and Mount Bernier. The tickets are reasonably priced, the music will be great and the day will be fun for all age groups," Lindsay said, with contagious enthusiasm.
Festival patrons are encouraged to bring a picnic rug or chair, soak up the sunshine and sample the local wines and wares at the natural amphitheatre on Redbanks' 400 acres of bushland and countryside just 45 minutes from Hobart.
The main stage will feature popular Tasmanian acts such as Meer Katz, MIQ, Samuel Webster, Zac Walsh, Rum Jungle and headline act The Wolfe Brothers.
