It was semi-opaque–plenty of color but a light translucency that keeps it from looking too heavy. MAC Rebel is less shimmery, more purple. MAC Colour Saturation is similar but less shimmery.

The importance of energy efficiency and its relation to a cleaner environment was already underlined in the 1991 Energy Charter. The subsequent Energy Charter Treaty, and in particular Article 19 of the Treaty, requires that each Contracting Party minimise, in an economically efficient manner, harmful environmental impacts arising from energy use.
The Energy Charter Protocol on Energy Efficiency and Related Environmental Aspects (PEEREA) was negotiated, opened for signature and entered into force at the same time (16 April 1998) as the Energy Charter Treaty. Building on the provisions of the Treaty, PEEREA requires its participating states to formulate clear policy aims for improving energy efficiency and reducing the energy cycle's negative environmental impact.
By way of contrast to other activities in the Charter process, the emphasis in the work on energy efficiency is not on legal obligations but rather on practical implementation of a political commitment to improve energy efficiency. This is promoted through policy discussions based on analysis and exchange of experience between the member countries, invited independent experts and other international organisations.
Through the implementation of PEEREA, the Energy Charter provides its member countries with a menu of good practices and a forum in which to share experiences and policy advice on energy efficiency issues. Within this forum, particular attention is paid to such aspects of a national energy efficiency strategy as taxation, pricing policy in the energy sector, environmentally-related subsidies and other mechanisms for financing energy efficiency objectives.
The Working Group on Energy Efficiency and Related Environmental Aspects is the institutional body in the Energy Charter process for the discussion of all matters related to energy efficiency. The Working Group has developed into a valuable forum for policy debate and exchange of experience, and many of the transition economies have used this cooperative process to develop policies, legislation and other measures supporting improvements in energy efficiency.
In March 2013, the Energy Charter Conference appointed Mr. Sergey Katyshev from Kazakhstan Chairman of the PEEREA Group. Mr. Katyshev is Adviser to the Chairman of the Kazakhstan Electricity Grid Operating Company (KEGOC). The Group's Vice-Chairman is Mr. Johan Vetlesen from Norway.

- Pros and Con Review by Kevin
- I got all the great benefits from this product but the one side effect i had was bad bowel movements. I learned that i need to take a lot less than whats recommended to have less of that side effect. (Posted on 11/7/14)
- The only DAA ill use Review by Chad Hammons
- love this product...test booster,mood enhancer and it lasts forever 300 grams is no joke...ive tried other DAA products but this one made me feel the greatest and I felt like I got more out of it...in the Gym and other places (Posted on 1/10/14)
- This stuff works~! Review by mattrag
This is probably the cheapest bulk DAA I have found on the net. All of the ones I have taken have affected my body the same so price is where it is at.
Noticeable effects were libido boost, sperm volume, and strength. I cycle this stuff year round and even take it on cycle sometimes to give a small boost to boys. :D (Posted on 1/23/12)
- Test Boosters Review by stonhous35
Thought that this was a good product to add into a PCT or anyone looking to maintian and build some muscle. I used this during a PCT and didn't see any gains but thats not what i was looking for. I was able to help maintain what I had and was able to keep testosterone for dropping to a low level. I was also able to help get my libido back to normal.
Price wise this is also probably one of the best deals. You get a good amount of product for the right price. Thats like the rest of their products anyways because they are resonably priced.I would recommend this product for a PCT or as a stand alone test booster. (Posted on 1/12/12)
- one of the greats Review by phatmike0704
- DAA is one of the greatest supplements to come on the market. after 2 weeks at 3g/day, my girlfriend cannot keep up. i like to buy pure bulk daa instead of somethin with extra stuff that i dont need and AI offers it an amazing price in the purest form. i got 4 tubs in my stash and will keep buying just for the hell of it. AI are of few that sell bulk but they do it at the best price (Posted on 1/6/12)
- Works like a charm Review by John Smeton
This product works hands down. So many studies to show it works. this is actually a prescription fertility drug in Italy. It was brought to the bodybuilding community and if a man is lower to moderate testosterone levels it brings them to high. if a mans testosterone levels are high it really doesn't do much. I dont know how this works in women.
One of the best discoveries in testosterone boosters in a long time. I did it for one month, and noticed great benefits, better mood- at least i thought so, took a week off and now back on it. (Posted on 9/28/11)

text: OTTAWA -- The West Virginia Division of Forestry worked last week to contain a forest fire in Boone County.Charlie Spencer with the WV Division of Forestry said that the fire spread to about 100 acres in the area around Stollings Branch, near Ottawa. By Monday evening, April 22, 2013, crews had the fire about 50 percent contained, according to Spencer. No homes were threatened by the fire, officials reported. Investigators believe the blaze was likely started by an arsonist.From March 1 through May 31, daytime burning is prohibited from the hours of 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Outdoor burning is permitted only between the hours of 5 p.m. and 7 a.m.State law requires a ring or safety strip around outdoor fires to keep the fire from spreading into the woods. This safety strip must be cleared of all burnable material and be at least 10 feet wide completely around the debris pile.Additional requirements of the state's fire laws include staying on-site until the fire is completely extinguished, and only burning vegetative materials like leaves, brush and yard clippings.If you allow a fire you have started to escape and it causes a wildfire or forest fire, you will be subject to fines ranging from $100 to $1,000. An additional civil penalty of $200 also will be assessed against you, officials added.

Giffard Creme De Pamplemouse Rose Liqueur 750ml
Review Date: 11-22-2013
The very essence of a perfectly ripe pink grapefruit, lightly sweetened. This is absolutely extraordinary! A brilliant exhibit of the distiller's art. Bravo!!
Price: $26.99
Giffard Creme De Peche De Vigne Liqueur 750ml
Review Date: 11-22-2013
I have been lucky enough to have a dessert in a 3 Star Michelin restaurant made from Peche de vigne, the small peaches they used to grow among the vineyards in Burgundy. The flavor memory is distinct and fabulous. When I tasted and smelled this liqueur, I was in rapture. This is precisely that rich but delicate aroma and flavor. There is some sort of alchemical wizardry involved in the distilling, as I would not have thought it possible to so perfectly capture this delicate creature in a liqueur. In summary: THIS IS NOT TO BE MISSED!!
Price: $26.99
Giffard Creme De Violette Liqueur 750ml
Review Date: 11-22-2013
I am often not a fan of Creme de Violette, as the process of extraction seems to me to sometimes produce a soapy, almost cloying quality. But here is the result when it is done to perfection. The color is a deep and satisfying violet hue, but the aromatics are pure and bright and the sweetness is extremely restrained in character. Very impressive, indeed.

My father was a strange, quiet man, his life a secret, his heart an open book. He never talked about his childhood, losing his dear, loving mama when he was only 8, raised by his older sisters and a grandma who spoke no English. His father watched lovingly over his brood of 7, then 6 as they also lost the new baby sister left in the arms of this mourning father, left alone to be both father and mother. My grandfather concentrated on protecting his kids from the pain of the loss of their mother and the Great Depression, both falling on this wonderful family at once. Evenings sitting huddled up in an armchair or around the kitchen table with mama, listening to her stories of a play or concert she and papa had gone to the evening before or helping her tend her few grape vines winding tenderly up a backyard trellis, were replaced by violin lessons, dancing school and Enrico Caruso blasting on the Victrola.
My father never talked about those days, those years of his youth, barely alluding to his family except on the rare occasion when he would let loose a phrase, a bit of a memory, as if thinking aloud to himself, lost in nostalgia, or as if we knew his life by heart.
Years in the Navy Air Force, flying in the Pacific, years in College and years working at NASA, he was the stereotypical engineer, coming home from work exactly at 6 every evening like clockwork, expecting dinner to be on the table at 6:30, the kids eating silently so he could listen to Walter Cronkite blaring from the other room. Our antics in the back room, ever so creative, would regularly receive a shaking down, a "shut the hell up, I can't hear the damn tv!" from the living room, and we would respond with gales of laughter. Weekends were spent under the hood of a car or mowing the lawn, except for those years that he attempted to grow tomatoes in the side yard, in the Florida sand, carting in truckloads of manure from the nearest stables, hacking at the dirt and trying to outsmart the moles. He did end up with a fair harvest every year of splotchy tomatoes and strings of red chili peppers that he would hang in the kitchen to dry although he never attempted to cook with them. And he allowed me one row, the row that ran up against the wall, to grow marigolds, which bloomed bright, golden and healthy.
He took us to the public swimming pool behind the high school every weekend in the spring and summer where he taught us how to swim the old-school way ("throw 'em into the deep end and make sure they make it back to the edge!") though there were a lot of hugs and a lot of praise. Februaries he would take us to the Pick-Ur-Own strawberry farms and December out to the Orange groves that lined the Indian River and we would lug back brown paper grocery bags filled with navels, tangerines and grapefruit. Evenings would find him back in front of the tv or reading Life magazine in his dark rimmed eyeglasses, weekends listening to Herb Alpert on the stereo.
And every summer we would pack into the old station wagon, the four of us fighting for space on the back seat, never to visit his family but to spend his only 2 free weeks with his in-laws, happy as a bug in a rug knowing he would be spending 2 weeks fixing, repairing and helping. He would throw a few pairs of boxer shorts, a few t-shirts and a change of shorts into a brown paper bag, which he would toss into the trunk of the car and wait for us to climb in. At 5 a.m. While it was still dark and cool. We would then sit patiently in the back seat, once again living through the War of Wills that took place every summer up in the front seat: he wouldn't start the engine until mom buckled up and she refused adamantly to snap on the seat belt. Then, about 25 minutes later, she buckled up and grumbling under her breath, off we would go, 24 hours with the radio tuned in to the All News All The Time station and the endless, ever-repeating loop of news. Straight through to New York. Dad, the true engineer, could do it all and do it with help from no one. He was the first to believe in safety belts and solar panels, the first to really talk about garden-grown vegetables and healthy eating, the evils of sugar and smoking. And he baked, baked sheet cakes and marble cakes, Bundt cakes and pudding cakes. Bowls and bowls of pudding topped with Cool Whip. Homemade waffles or huge, light-as-air choux puffs filled with pudding or whipped cream. And amazing prune and apricot compote, the fruit glistening like jewels in the syrupy, just perfectly sweet liquid, plump and tender, bursting in your mouth as you wrapped your tongue around each delicate bite. My passion for baking grew each time I watched him mix and pour and pop a special treat into the oven, fascinated by the joy and tenderness he exuded with each delicacy he made for us or for friends or for the synagogue's Bingo Night. A quiet, tender, loving man, the same man who, every single night of his life as a father, would take us into his arms, one by one, for a kiss and a hug before we were scooted off to bed. A ritual he never ever missed.
And on this 40th Anniversary of the Moon Landing, the first Man on the Moon, I send out this note of love to my dad, one of the original 12 research and design engineers of the Space Task Group of the Manned Space Flight Program. He developed the Life Support and Environmental Control Systems for the Manned Flights from the earliest chimpanzee shot through to the beginnings of the Space Shuttle design. He also acted as Environmental Control Director during the Gemini and Mercury Missions. He worked closely with the original astronauts, not only while the system was perfected but training them to control their environment while in orbit. My dad loved his country and was proud to be a part of the Space Program, which he so believed in. He rarely spoke about his work, barely letting comments slip out absent-mindedly, yet we never thought to ask. It was just our normalcy, our everyday life. We knew that as the space ship, each rocket, Mercury, Apollo or other, was standing proudly on the launch pad, rumbling and seething and raring to go, he would take those few seconds away from Mission Control to call us at home – the phone would ring, someone would pick it up and hear his voice "Get out in the backyard. Now." – and we'd grab the binoculars and out we would run to watch the take off in the distance, the rocket shooting skyward, its smooth, sleek body roaring heavenwards, the stages dropping off, one-two-three, and then we would sigh, the excitement over, and run back into the house to sit in front of the tv and watch the rest until it was out of sight. Then we would return to play or to our books and wait for 6 o'clock when he would come back from work for another evening at home.
My dad is now up there in the skies, watching us, and I like to think that I see him smiling down on me each time I stare at the moon and I shiver and my head spins and then I turn away and get on with my life.
And the 40th Anniversary of the Moon Landing
Just like he would make them.
A wonderful and simple recipe that I have been making for a gazillion years. This is the perfect all-purpose cake. I served this at my wedding lunch with a mixed berry coulis. It is also perfect with a warm chocolate sauce, ice cream or a tumble of fresh fruit. JP loves it for breakfast slathered with jelly.
1 ½ cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
6 eggs, separated
¾ tsp cream of tartar –or- a drop or two of lemon juice and a few grains of salt
1 ¼ cups sugar
½ cup cold water
2 tsps vanilla
1 Tbs Amaretto or 1 tsp almond extract (optional)
You will need a 10-inch ungreased tube pan.
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
Blend the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
Put the 6 egg yolks in a very large mixing bowl and beat until they turn a pale lemony color. Beat in the sugar and continue beating until very thick.
Beat in the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the water, vanilla and Amaretto if using. Scrape down the sides as necessary.
With perfectly clean beaters, beat the egg whites with either the cream of tartar or a drop or two of freshly squeezed lemon juice and a few grains of salt (to stabilize the whites) until stiff peaks form (you should be able to turn the bowl over and they won't budge.
Using a spatula, gently fold in about a quarter or a third of the whites into the cake batter to lighten it. Then gently fold in the rest of the whites in an additional two or three additions until all the whites are folded in and it is well blended (no huge chunks of whites remaining).
Carefully pour the batter into the ungreased tube pan, gently shake the pan back and forth once or twice to make sure the batter is even in the pan, then bake for 55 – 60 minutes until done. (My old oven took 60 minutes, my new oven took 55).
To tell when it is done, open the oven and gently press the top of the cake with a finger or two. If it feels or sounds airy or foamy – trying to figure out how to describe a feeling or sound – like pssssffttt rather than firm like a marshmallow, let it go for another couple of minutes. Got it?
Cool inverted for maybe 15 minutes before turning upright and easing out of the tube pan. Very carefully (it is a delicate cake) slide a thin metal spatula in up and down movements all around to loosen the sides then push the center tube with the cake up and out of the outside ring. Allow to cool completely. Then carefully, using the spatula, loosen the bottom and around the tube and have someone else help you flip the cake over onto your two hands, the other person must quickly loosen and lift the center tube up and out, place the serving plate onto the bottom of the cake and flip it back upright.
It is so quick and easy to make this thick, rich, dark, very adult chocolate pudding with its hint of coffee flavor. Serve with freshly whipped cream and this sponge cake. As my dad would.
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbs cornstarch
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
2 ½ cups milk (I actually used low-fat!)
1 ½ Tbs instant coffee, instant espresso or coarsely ground coffee beans
A few grains of salt
6 oz bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate (I used Lindt Dessert 70%), finely chopped
2 tsps vanilla
In a large, heavy saucepan, stir together the whole egg, the egg yolk, the sugar and the cornstarch until thick, smooth and creamy. Set aside on an unused burner near where you will be heating the milk.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, heat the milk with the coffee and the salt. Bring to a gentle boil.
Remove the pan from the heat. If you used ground coffee beans, then quickly strain the hot milk through a fine sieve. Whisking the egg mixture without stopping, add a ladleful or two of the hot coffee-milk to the larger saucepan to heat the egg mixture without cooking the eggs. Add the rest of the hot milk to the egg mixture and whisk.
Stir in the finely chopped chocolate until melted and blended.
Place this saucepan over medium-high heat and cook, whisking constantly, for 4 to 6 minutes until the pudding is thickens and just starts to boil. Remove the pan from the heat immediately and quickly strain the pudding into a large bowl. Stir in the vanilla.
Divide the pudding into 4 to 6 pudding bowls (I got 5 but should've made each portion smaller and really divided the pudding into 6 bowls as it is very dark and rich). Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. If not serving after this initial chilling, then cover with plastic wrap.
Serve with the sponge cake and freshly whipped, just sweetened cream.
My dad also made pudding to fill his choux puffs with which he would make the size of small coffee cup saucers. Wow!

sorry you have to spend more than what i spend and still your gun not gona be ar15
sorry you have to spend more than what i spend and still your gun not gona be ar15
Today at gun show AR were going for a grand. I wouldn't build an AR unless it
had a chorme bolt , chorme lined barrel and chamberber , would also want
a match trigger and match sights.
The Kel Tec has a composite receiver , way of the future , like the bushmaster that cost 1300 dollars, and if you want a gas piston that will
cost another 5 bills. The Kel Tec also has a Chrome lined barrel mine does.
Del Ton, Model 1. Miday are all sold out on parts, some like Midaway are not
taking orders. Today at gun show I didn't even see a Kel Tec. For a few dollars more I will have one bad ass rifle. Oh yeah the Kel Tec has a lifetime
I think Del Ton has 32,000 parts orders right now, I'm not waiting three or four months for parts. Colt is no longer chorme lining thier bores on AR 15.
Also, I would half to say that a chrome bolt is better than a non chrome bolt.
My Russain SKS has one and so does my FAL and my Romy AKM, alot more rust and corrosion resistant. Chrome lined barrel is better to. My Fal, Cetme,
AKM, SKS's and Kel Tec has one. Would want a chrome lined barrel if I had had an AR 15 barrel will last alot longer. Gas piston is better to, that will
cost 500 dollars to upgrade to that. Composite materials are the way of the future to like the Kel Tec If this weapon turn out to be a POS I will let you
know.Gas Piston is probably more reliable then direct impingement
Prices are crazy for everything right now. I had a kel-tec su-16b. Nice inexpensive gun, but not nearly as accurate as my ar carbine. Probably closer to the mini-14 in accuracy. My gun did not have a chrome barrel, bolt or any other chrome parts. If they are doing that now then I guess that would to the value, but as far as I'm concerned as long as you properly clean your gun you don't need the chrome. I don't think we are taking these over to Iraq or Afganistan or firing corrosive ammo.
As for feed issues with the carbine upper, Never had any problems with any ammo. This was built using a dpms "low pro" upper, no forward assist, std bolt and carrier. I'm sure if I let it sit in humid weather without cleaning, it would probably have issues. But then my mini would act up if I didn't clean it properly(anyone ever have a piston stick after sitting uncleaned). All guns have up and down sides. Great thing is we can all pick and choose what we like. One other thing is I take time and break the ar's in just as the manual said to. It's time consuming, but I have yet to ever have a problem, not only with the low pro, but with any of the uppers I've ever put together, some with chrome bolts,barrels, some without.
I'd like to see some pics of your gun after it's all tricked out. I think it's great your going to do something a little different and along with the pics, list the components and prices you paid after your project is complete. Just like cars, some build Mustangs, some Camaros, and every once in a while you see a Pinto. Good luck
Accuarcy with this weapon is about 1.25" to 2" MOA fron the reports I get.
Les Baers are .25" if you got 2500 bills, a Bushmaster has an MOA of .5"
some, a S&W M&P are gaurenteed to MOA at 1" what others like COLT, CMMG
I don't know.
As far as I can tell this weapon has a chrome lined barrel, I have an Alpha Model, it has the heaviest barrel out of all three models which is good.
Chrome will wear alot longer I bet. Barrel break in much simpler to.
Only Bushmaster has a composite reciever that I know of.This weapon weigh
5 lbs. If you were high scaling in Afghanistan a lighter weapon might make
a difference.
It uses a gas piston like an SKS, Fal or AKM. That means less recoil, less
heat on the bolt carrier and carbon on the carrier , translating into better
reliablity.If you want a gas piston AR like an SIG send CCMG 4 bills wait three
months and you can have one.
They say this weapon is easier to clean than AR I will see when I go to the
This rifle also comes with a lifetime warranty. Will post pics when I get the
stock change out and I change the sights to a Bravo model.
Correct me if wrong but there are no AR parts around, three to four month wait on kits, maybe an upper at gun show here or there. CCMG was at gun show there typical M4's went from 650 to 1000 bills since Barky got in there.
Ak's went from 430 to 630 in price. Century Cetmes were going for 600
now jumped to 830. Fals are out of sight. If you want a DSA wait six months for one.
Oh yes, when the Chineese or Ruskies see this weapon they might try to
copy it the AK 16 ..
The important thing is that you are happy with the purchase. I could counter a lot of what you said about the ar, but the point is that we are happy and buy what we like or can afford. I will point out one major plus, with an ar you can have multiple barrels, different calibers, impingment or piston all with one lower.
Parts still can be found for the ar's, you just have to dig a little harder now.
Like I said about the chrome, my gun wasn't chrome lined. Really as long as you clean it and don't shoot corrosive ammo they'll hold up fine. It will take a ton of rounds to shoot a barrel out. So don't sweat it, it's not really that big a deal in a civilian rifle. As for cleaning, aside from having to disassemble the piston I would say they are both easy. When cleaning make sure you hold that piston or it will launch like a rocket. A note if you fire wolf, it is MILDY corosive, so make sure you do a good job cleaning.
Keltec makes a nice little gun for its intended market. It's a fun little gun and I think you'll enjoy it, and thats what it's all about.
I got some heat 20 years ago for buying a mini 14. I was looking for the same things you are, something inexpensive that I could customize the way I wanted, as I could afford it, and have fun with, not a match rifle.
Thanks for the tip about the gas piston . Wolf I have heard is bad for theese
and AR's. I know that DSA doesn't recommend use in their AR's ( steel case).
Will be awhile before i have it done.Before Barky got in there AR prices were low, Alot of competition.
Once just for brain exercise I sat down and designed the "perfect assault rifle -in my own mind anyway. I wanted the best proven features of all assault type weapons. My buddies father bougt a kel-tec and as I inspected it I saw that It was real close to what I had in mind.

- Members of the Hunter Community,
The New York Times online is now available to all of CUNY! Yes, anyone with a valid CUNY e-mail address can receive unlimited access to the NY Times in digital and mobile formats. We are very excited to be able to offer this service to all faculty, staff and students.
Unlike a regular subscription, this is an Academic Pass. You will still receive full access, but signing up is a bit different. Here are the steps to follow:
Go to nytimes.com/passes.
1. Click on "Register" to create a NYTimes.com account using your CUNY e-mail address.
2. At the bottom of the Welcome page, click "Continue."
3. If your email address is from an eligible school, you will then see "Check your email." Look for a "Confirm Your Email Address" message, which should arrive to your CUNY e-mail within 15 minutes.
4. Click on the link in our confirmation email. This will simultaneously verify your eligibility and
grant your Academic Pass, which will provide access to NYTimes.com for your campus designated period.
5. If you don't get our confirmation email, check your spam filter. If you still do not receive it, send an email from your school email account to firstname.lastname@example.com
Once you've created an account, access from anywhere will simply require your CUNY New York Times login—you will not have to authenticate it through the library's website. You will see your subscription as being for "one year," although that renewals will happen as the subscription continues.
If you already have an annual subscription to the New York Times with your CUNY e-mail address, you can cancel it and the New York Times, Co. will issue a refund. If you wish to continue your own access (for example, If you get the print edition with online access), but also want to use the CUNY version, we do suggest you move your original subscription to a personal e-mail address.
The only limit to material is for pre-1980 articles from the New York Times Archives. However, Hunter College Libraries has full access to major historical newspapers through our other database subscriptions, including the New York Times back to 1857.
I hope that you will all enjoy this resource for your academic needs.

NCCU great Wilkerson named
ATLANTA, Ga. — The Black College Football Hall of Fame announced Tuesday that former N.C. Central lineman Doug Wilkerson is among 25 finalists on the ballot for induction as part of its fifth annual enshrinement ceremony on March 1.
An 11-member selection committee comprised of journalists, historians and football executives will decide by Oct. 23 the seven members (six players and one coach/contributor) to be inducted as the Class of 2014.
Wilkerson, NCCU's highest overall NFL draft pick, was selected with the 14th pick in the first round of the 1970 NFL Draft by the Houston Oilers.
After \his rookie season in Houston, Wilkerson was traded to the San Diego Chargers, where he started on the offensive line in 195 games in 14 seasons. Wilkerson appeared in Pro Bowls from 1981-83. He was inducted into the Chargers Hall of Fame in 2000.
At NCCU (1965, 1967-69), Wilkerson was a three-time all-conference honoree and won first-team all-America.
No. 1 Tar Heels upset by Tribe
CHAPEL HILL — The No. 1-ranked North Carolina men's soccer team fell 1-0 to William & Mary Tuesday night from Fetzer Field.
William & Mary (4-2-1) scored at the 72:48 mark on a goal from Jackson Eskay that stood up as the game winner for the Tribe, who has now defeated two teams ranked No. 1 in the country this season.
Creighton fell from the top spot in the national polls two weeks ago after a double-overtime loss in Norfolk, Va.
The goal came with the Heels only having 10 men on the field. Defender Boyd Okwuonu went to the bench for a cut on his lip, and as he was standing at the table to re-enter at the next stoppage of play, Eskay scored for the Tribe.
Duke men top Wright State
DURHAM — A pair of corner kicks late in the second half proved to be all the Duke men's soccer team needed as the Blue Devils rallied to earn a 2-1 non-conference win over Wright State Tuesday at Koskinen Stadium. Duke scored in the 69th and 80th minutes to secure the comeback win.
Freshman Brody Huitema and senior Sebastien Ibeagha had the goals for Duke (4-2-2), heading in a pair of corner kick services from rookie Seo-In Kim and Sean Davis, respectively.

GREENVILLE — East Carolina has suspended starting nose tackle Terry Williams indefinitely for a violation of team policy.
Coach Ruffin McNeill said Tuesday in a statement that Williams "did not adhere to the conduct standards we have in place" but he didn't say exactly why the junior was suspended.
The two-year starter has nine tackles and a half-sack in the first three games for the Pirates (2-1), who travel to North Carolina on Saturday. Junior Chrishon Rose is expected to start against the Tar Heels in Williams' absence.

Who's on shortlist for Obama's top jobs?
President Barack Obama's second term will kick off his looming cabinet shuffle — prompted by the planned departures of Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, and the departure of CIA Director David Petraeus who resigned in November. Here's a rundown of the most likely nominees for the soon-to-be open posts:
Secretary of Defense:
President Obama will pick Chuck Hagel, a two-time Purple Heart recipient and former Nebraska senator, as his pick to succeed Leon Panetta, POLITICO reports. Hagel has weathered criticism in recent months about his statements on Israel and gays, and some of his former Republican colleagues in the Senate haven't welcomed his potential nomination.

The lazy days of summer may be here, but for our pets, this time of year is particularly hazardous when it comes to Sago Palms and snakes.
The emergency and critical care veterinarians at Charleston Veterinary Referral Center (www.charlestonvrc.com) have identified these two things at the top hazards to pets this year, based on cases coming through the emergency room at the facility.
Kristin Welch, DVM, DACVECC (Emergency and Critical Care) says just one Sago Palm seed can create extreme toxicity in pets and Sago Palm toxicity has a 30 percent mortality rate in dogs and cats. Sago Palms are ubiquitous in the Charleston landscape, and most pet owners aren't aware what can happen if their pet ingests any part of the plant. The seeds are most toxic and can cause immediate vomiting, diarrhea and thirst after being eaten.
Dr. Welch and her team treated Bailey, a 3½ year old male Miniature Pinscher for Sago Palm seed ingestion. Bailey chewed leaves and seeds and presented with severe vomiting and failure of his blood clotting system. He was treated immediately with a combination of medications to prevent further toxin absorption from the GI tract and plasma transfusions to prevent more severe bleeding complications. He required liver support medications and antacids for nearly two months as his liver function recovered and thankfully he has made a near full recovery.
South Carolina is home to six species of venomous snakes, according to the state's Department of Natural Resources. Dogs and cats are both at risk, although cats tend to be more resistant to snake venom than dogs. In both types of pets, the most common bite areas are the face, tongue, eyes and neck. CVRC recently treated Melissa Rodger's puppy, named Kevin. He was nosing underneath a bush when a foot-long snake bit him in the nose and face. Dr. Welch says snake bites can cause swelling, shock, damage tissues and affect the pet's blood cells and clotting ability. Immediate symptoms include puncture wounds, swelling, drooling, pain or panting. More than likely, your pet will be hospitalized for 12-48 hours for intravenous fluids, pain medications and possibly antivenom therapy.
In either a Sago Palm ingestion or a snake bite, getting veterinary care immediately is critical. To protect your pet from both Sago Palms and rattlesnakes, CVRC offers these tips:
Remove any Sago Palms from your yard if you dogs or have cats with outdoor access.
Alternately, a fence can be placed around the palms but remember that wind and wildlife can circulate the seeds around the area.
When purchasing new plants at garden centers, it is always a good idea to verify that you are not purchasing a Sago Palm. Many plants are just marked "palm." Ask so you can clarify what you're buying.
To avoid snakes, do not let your pet explore underbrush, under bushes and landscaping, rocky areas and tall grasses.
Keep your pet on a leash and do not let it run free to explore. Supervise at all times.

The more people I get into roofing
Every roofing are contracting company has their own unique twist when it comes to working on different projects and that's what Makes the company in its own right the best. Everyone claims that their company is the best but is no true way to determine what is the best because everyone has specific details and expectations as to what a company must have and what they must be good for them to be considered the best. This is why I never focus on anything else that would constitute as being the best because a lot of people just don't understand what would make such and such the best way in fact they're not… One thing I respect about different roofers and what they are able to offer because not all roofers offered a same thing and nestled next them different and that's what makes some of them great and some of them not so great.
When it comes to roofing there is no set statistics that you should use to determine what makes a good roofing company will makes it better roofing company. There are literally seven different types of roofing companies and not all of them are the very best so it's hard to pick would it go with them not to go it so that's why I refrain from picking roofing companies because you never know which one is going to deliver what you wanted to deliver. Now with that being said I simply love roofing companies because there are different type of company and are not the same like most roofing companies they actually offer something that's very different notes one thing that makes this roofing company the best in my honest opinion.
Another thing about roofing companies searching for quad cities roofing contractors companies is that you need to understand that every different roofer has different expectations on what you want done to your house so it's always best to be on the same page. By being on the same page you are able to better communicate to the roofing company or the individual roofer exactly what you want and what to expect. This is what makes so many different things so great because you never know exactly how many different people might comply to what you say.
There are so many different factors which make certain roofing companies greater than others and it all really comes down to the individual user and exactly what they're expecting to get out that company. Someone who had doesn't have such high expectations with a particular company are not expecting to get something and those who don't have such high expectations probably do expect something that they didn't really expect so that's why they're so different in the sense that you don't know exactly which one would be the right one for you.
Hopefully this all makes sense to you and is held to choose exactly what service you're looking for and how to make the best out of that particular service because there's different avenues you can take to get exactly what you're looking forLearn more :

Two of Pushmataha County's very own have made their movie debut as extras in the paranormal thriller "The Last Word." The sure to be a hit movie began filming in Shreveport and Mansfield, LA, in November 2013 and is now in post production with hopes of being released by Fall 2014.
The headlining stars of the film include Mike Doyle (Green Lantern, Law and Order/ P.S. I Love You), Erin Cummings (Mad Men/Ice Man/ Dark House and Sean Patrick Flanery (The Boondock Saints/Powder/Saw 3D: The Final Chapter/ Dexter).
THE LAST WORD follows the fate of the participants of a trial for a 17 year-old Texas teen that was wrongly convicted for the rape and murder of a nun in Texas in October of 1981. Before his execution, the man curses all those involved in his death. When the curse begins affecting a jurors' son, the juror (Doyle) attempts to prove that the man (Flanery) was wrongly convicted.
"It was a really neat experience, nothing like you would expect. I sit up here in the mountains and while raising my children I would have never thought for one minute that I would be an extra in a movie, with a talent agent and everything. It's amazing to see how it all works and goes together," said Shyrl Hill. "It was all made possible by a really good friend of mine, Liz Landers, who works in the movie industry. She has worked on films like 8 Seconds, Premonition, Secretariat and Season of the Witch."
"The Extra's Casting were very impressed because they came prepared, had read all the directions and followed them," Landers stated. "We are very grateful that they came down and worked with us and they looked absolutely great on camera, that's why they got moved to the front during their scenes. We would love to work with them again."
"We went down the night before to get the lay of the land since we had to be on set at 4:45 a.m. When we got on location, we stood in a line until about 7:30 with wardrobe, hair and makeup." said Hill. "We spend 13 1/2 hours filming 2 scenes, in high heels! We were the only extras on set that hadn't been in a movie before. All the rest had been in 17-18 movies before."
When speaking with April about her experiences she expressed her concern for talking about the movie before it was released. "I figured we would wait until it actually came out to see if we even made the final cut before telling everyone about it. I never thought in a million years that we would be professional background actors, or that that was even a real thing but there are people who do nothing but that as a full time job," said Leathers. "It was neat to see how things really work behind the cameras. We would spend 3 hours chanting and yelling in a scene and then the next 4-5 hours pretending to chant and yell while they were filming the stars in front of us. They explained that later they will go back in and dub our voices in so we don't overshadow the stars."
"The movie thing was fun for me but being able to have my mom with me was amazing. We have never got to go do something that was just us. We picked where and when to eat, where and when to stop to see something and only we can tell stories about our experiences because we were the only ones there," said Leathers. " I loved spending those three days with my mom, that was the best part."
You may be wondering why a movie based in Texas was filmed in Louisiana. Well Louisiana's unique tax incentive package was created in 2002 and with more than 150 applications received in 2011 alone, the surge is showing no signs of stopping. With a 30% tax credit on qualified direct production Louisiana expenditures, additional 5% tax credit for payroll expenditures to Louisiana residents, no annual cap, and tax credits that can be used to offset income tax liability in Louisiana (corporate or personal), sold back to the State for 85% face value, or brokered on the open market it is easy to see why.
Along with the experiences this mother-daughter team walked away with, they both stated that this is something they plan to continue doing. "Anything around here close we are going to do. And that isn't just movies, it is T.V., commercials and so much more," said Leathers.
According to Hill, there is another chance for the duo to make their mark on the silver screen sometime in January 2014 as extras in OKC in one or two films, one staring Arnold Schwarzenegger and the other Keanu Reeves.

The owners of Fashionable Flip Flops and More, a previously home-based business featuring customized clothing and accessories, will open their first storefront location in downtown Aiken on Friday at 9 a.m.
The shop, located at 120½ Laurens Street, will have a variety of items, including flip flops, metalworks, wreaths, jewelry, carry-all bags, drinkware, tailgating items, baby gifts, car decals and special occasion items.
Angie Holdorf and Heather Brazell, the store's owners, actually started the business about six years ago, only deciding recently to open a brick-and-mortar location.
Holdorf said one of the store's mottos is "if it can be monogrammed, we have it."
"We try to fit everybody's budget," she said. "We plan to have items ranging from $3 up to $100."
Brazell said she thinks the location will be particularly convenient for downtown shoppers.
"People that come down to eat and drink and walk around, we have a lot of things that they can choose from. We have a lot of little items that can be personalized."
She added that the shop offers a large assortment of personalized gift items for events like birthdays, baby showers and anniversaries.
Business hours are tentatively scheduled to be 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Holdorf said the shop also will be open all of next week from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. to accommodate shoppers during the Masters golf tournament.
A grand opening is also being planned for late April or early May.
For more information about the store, visit its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/FashionableFlipFlopsAndMore or call Holdorf at 803-215-8452.

Tuscarawas News Detail
Kent State University Orchestra presents an All Russian ProgramPosted Mar. 11, 2014
The Kent State University Orchestra will present a free concert highlighting Russian masterpieces on Saturday, Mar. 15 at 3:30 p.m. in the University Auditorium at Cartwright Hall. Cartwright Hall is located at 650 Hilltop Drive, with free parking located off of Terrace Drive.
Graduate Student Pamela Burovac will lead the orchestra's performance of Aram Khachaturian's "Suite from Masquerade" while Orchestra Director, Charles Latshaw will conduct Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's "Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64."
"Khachaturian's catchy suite from Masquerade is chock-full of memorable tunes and moments. Written in 1941 as incidental music for a stage play, this piece is a perfect example of how Khachaturian was the early 20th century musical descendent of Tchaikovsky, but adds a special exotic flavor from the composer's Armenian heritage," said Charles Latshaw, Director of the Kent State University Orchestra. "The fifth symphony of Tchaikovsky is his most triumphant, most bombastic expression of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity."
Mr. Latshaw will treat audience members to an entertaining and informative talk during intermission. His well-received "Chat with Charles" expands on music performed the day of the concert. Admission to this concert is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact the Hugh A. Glauser School of Music by calling 330-672-2172 or visiting kent.edu/music.

Video: How to Cook a Spatchcock Turkey (the Fastest, Easiest, Best Way to Cook a Thanksgiving Bird)
Unraveling the mysteries of home cooking through science.
It's time for another round of The Food Lab. Got a suggestion for an upcoming topic? Email Kenji here, and he'll do his best to answer your queries in a future post. Become a fan of The Food Lab on Facebook or follow it on Twitter for play-by-plays on future kitchen tests and recipe experiments.
What with all the talk of turkey porchetta this week, I've been throwing around the word "best" a lot lately. I'm not going to really address that here other than to say that spatchcocking a turkey is the best way to cook a turkey if you value the greatest return for the smallest amount of effort.
I had a physics teacher in high school named Mr. Harless* who gave me perhaps the best and most honest advice any teacher has ever given me: embrace your laziness. Recognize the fact that you want to get from point A to point B as quickly and easily as possible (without sacrificing quality, that is). Laziness is nothing to be ashamed of. Indeed, efficient use of time and energy is the one of the prime directives of almost every engineering problem
*Dear Mr. Harless—I apologize for the time my autocorrect changed your name to Mr. Hare Lips. It was mostly unintentional.
It was with Mr.
Hare Lips Harless in mind that I promoted spatchcocked turkey last year and will continue to do so until a faster, better way emerges (if it ever does). It delivers breast meat that's juicier than a standard roast turkey, leg meat more tender than a standard roast turkey, and skin that's so crisp it literally shatters when you poke it, all in about half the time it takes to roast a conventional turkey.
A perfect Thanksgiving bird on the table in under 90 minutes? It can be done, and here is how you do it.
Take a look at the video for a walk-through of the process, or jump to this post to read up on more of the details.

Wednesday, May 8, 2013
Two suspects pleaded guilty in federal court last week on charges connecting them to a deadly apartment fire that started after a meth lab exploded in Goose Creek.
Defendants Shonni Abernathy, 40, and Gerald McCabe, 35, both of Berkeley County, told U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel they wish to plead guilty to the charges presented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter T. Phillips, the prosecutor.
Abernathy and McCabe each pled guilty to charges of and conspiring to manufacture methamphetamine and manufacturing methamphetamine where children reside, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Phillips read a summary of the events leading up to the fire and its investigation. McCabe did not contest Phillips' summary.
"The defendant is now judged guilty," Gergel said Monday in Courtroom 3 of the Hollings Judicial Center in Charleston.
The May 31, 2012 fire resulted in three deaths and left more than 40 people without a home in the Pine Harbour Apartments.
The victims of the fire were 69-year-old Joseph Raeth, four-year-old Samuel Garbe, and 19-year-old Morgan Abernathy, daughter of the defendant.
Phillips said the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency was called out to the scene due to concerns raised about possible production of methamphetamine being the cause of the fire.
The search led investigators to find evidence of a meth lab in an apartment on the rear of the second floor, according to Phillips. One-pot bottles were found, which are consistent with the "one-pot bottle" method of manufacturing methamphetamine, Phillips said.
He added that witnesses would have testified that co-defendant Abernathy shook one of the bottles. Syringes and methamphetamine residue were found during the investigation, he added.
Many individuals made or attempted to make purchases of pseudoephedrine in the days prior to the fire, Phillips said. McCabe helped procure pseudoephedrine and witnesses would testify they saw McCabe crush pseudoephedrine, according to Phillips.
Abernathy faces a potential mandatory minimum of life imprisonment and McCabe faces a mandatory minimum of 20 years in prison. The origin and cause of the fire, while not the focus of Monday's hearing, will likely be an important factor at sentencing. The defendants will be sentenced at a later time.
The two other defendants in the case, Alberta Pierson (Abernathy's common law wife) and Michael Still, who were arrested and indicted soon after McCabe and Abernathy, were originally set to appear in court Monday but their hearing was postponed.
Family members of the defendants declined to give comments to local news media after exiting the building following the guilty pleas.
The primary agencies participating in the investigation are the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office, State Law Enforcement Division (SLED), the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).

An Augusta man detained for driving under the influence allegedly fled the scene after he struck the water fountain at the intersection of Laurens Street and Richland Avenue on Friday, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Jarrod Paul Allison, 33, of Courtney Road in Augusta, was charged with DUI second offense and placed in the Aiken County detention center, where he remained on Monday afternoon.
The incident happened just before 11 p.m. Friday, according to a report. A caller told dispatch they saw a green Chevrolet van strike the fountain and then flee the scene, heading west on Richland Avenue.
Officers found the van and initiated a traffic stop at Richland Avenue and University Parkway and found Allison to be the driver, according to the report. When asked if he knew why he was being stopped, Allison said no.
The officer told Allison about the caller who saw his van strike the fountain, and Allison said "he wasn't paying attention and struck the object," according to the report. The officer could smell the scent of an alcoholic beverage coming from Allison, the report said.
Allison was taken into custody after failing multiple field sobriety tests, according to the report. At Public Safety headquarters, he provided a breath sample which yielded a reading of 0.18.
According to Sgt. Jake Mahoney, there was no damage to the fountain, but one of the protective bollards surrounding the fountain was damaged.

A swimming school hopes its retail venture floats in a Mount Pleasant shopping center.
Kids First Swim School, featuring an indoor swimming pool that will be kept at 90 degrees, is being constructed in the Publix-anchored Queensborough Shopping Center at 1000 Johnnie Dodds Blvd.
The center will offer six-week sessions for children as well as some adult classes. Its website also shows its pools are available for parties. Part of the space formerly was occupied by Pet Emporium.
The website has Kids First opening this fall. It will be the first venture for the swim school outside of Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
The chain was formed in Baltimore in 2001 by owner Gary Roth, who has been teaching swimming for more than 30 years and has started franchising his business concept.
Pet project
A new pet supply store is looking to open in North Charleston. PetSmart is going into the Best Buy-anchored Northwoods Marketplace at 7600 Rivers Ave. in the 17,445-square-foot space next to Michaels arts and crafts shop. No opening date has been announced. Northwoods Marketplace is part of Atlanta-based RCG Ventures LLC.
Striking gold
Charleston Gold & Diamond Exchange now has a second location in the Lowcountry.
The new store for the wholesaler and retailer of jewelry, diamonds, fine watches and precious bullion and rare coin products is at 1651 N. Main St. in Summerville.
The 5,125-square-foot shop is part of Dallas-based DGSE Companies Inc., which operates 35 stores under different names in seven states. The new shop has a full-service jeweler on site.

Newk's Eatery, a new soup, salad and sandwich restaurant, will hold the ribbon-cutting for its shop near Azalea Square shopping center at 3 p.m. Wednesday at 210-D Azalea Square Blvd. in Summerville.
Red Lobster redux
Two Charleston-area Red Lobster restaurants now sport a remodeled look. Restaurants at 2080 Sam Rittenberg Blvd. in West Ashley and 2460 Mall Drive in North Charleston now boast styles inspired by the New England coast.
The makeovers include a new exterior featuring a stone tower, ship lanterns to welcome diners after dark, Adirondack-style chairs outside, window graphics, expanded seating for large parties, LED lighting and other energy-saving upgrades, wood-fired grills, expanded menu choices and nautical decor such as signal flags and seaside-inspired artwork.
Red Lobster donated its furnishings from remodeled restaurants to local Habitat for Humanity ReStore resale outlets, which sell items to the general public to raise funds for constructing homes in their communities for families in need.
It's part of a larger partnership between Red Lobster's parent company, Darden Restaurants, and Habitat for Humanity International.
