jane iredale Just Kissed Lip & Cheek Stain Duo
This set of multipurpose lip and cheek stains adapt to your skin tone so you don't have to worry whether it's the right shade for you. That's already pretty great. But it stays on too - through lunch, dinner and maybe even a glass of wine.
Made in the USA
Please see the Usage & Ingredients tab for how to use and ingredient information.
Equally moisturizing as it is enhancing, lipstick is a ubiquitous staple in every woman's makeup bag. An optional but recommended step is to first smooth your lips with a lip primer. Then, apply the lip liner. This effectively creates lip definition, as well as helps to prevent lipstick from feathering. Choose a lip liner that matches the color of your lipstick or your lip tone.
To create a silhouette, start at the center of your upper lip, draw a line to the outer corners in two steps. Always follow your natural lip line. If you make a mistake, simply use a cotton swab with a bit of toner to make corrections.
Finally, apply the lipstick with a tube or brush, following your natural lip line. Take care to fill in the curves and angles, and follow with an optional blot with a facial tissue. In the end, you'll have a gorgeous, well defined, long-lasting pout.
Applying Foundation
1. Always start with clean hands and a freshly cleansed face.
2. Apply your day moisturizer (preferably one that contains an SPF). Next, you can apply a primer for a smoother base. This is an optional step, but one worthy of considering for a more youthful appearance. A few drops of primer will smooth the appearance and texture of your complexion, as well as fill in fine lines - the perfect base for your foundation. It also helps to extend the longevity of your face and eye makeup, prevents eye shadow from creasing, and maintains an overall fresh appearance for as long as you wear your makeup.
3. Allow the moisturizer and/or primer to absorb a few minutes before continuing on to the foundation application. If necessary, you might want to blot any excess moisturizer with a tissue.
4. Address your under eye circles, shadows and imperfections with a concealer. Pat it on with a light finger so that it blends well.
5. You may use your fingers, a foundation brush or makeup sponge to apply the foundation. First, apply a few dots of your preferred liquid foundation to your nose, forehead, cheeks and chin. Continue to blend while avoiding a heavy application to the jawline and hairline (also known as a line of demarcation).
6. Once the foundation is blended, use either a translucent powder or one that matches your complexion to set the foundation. This also serves to absorb oils that cause your face to shine.
7. If you want a more natural look or have great skin, you can simply address specific areas that require coverage by applying your foundation to precise spots or areas. If you want to wear foundation that looks exceptionally natural and dewy, consider a tinted moisturizer. They're considerably sheer, yet provide a little coverage for uneven skin tone.
Choose a blush color that mimics the color of your cheeks when they're flushed from the cold, you've exercised or have blushed. You can also use your lip color as a guide. Blush can be applied before foundation for a subtle hint, but it's usually applied after foundation and face powder.
Cream vs. Powder vs. Gel
This is a personal preference, but usually powder suits combination and oily skin, whereas cream works well with dry skin. Tinted gels and liquids are outstanding for oilier skins.
Using a professional grade blush brush, run the bristles over the pan of makeup, shake off excess powder and apply to the apples of your cheeks. Blend if necessary. If you're using a gel or cream based blush, use your middle finger and highlight the apples of your cheeks. Blend well.
If you need additional color across your face, apply bronzer to the bridge of your nose, forehead and chin.
The key to purchasing bronzer is to choose a color one to two shades darker than your skin tone. If you have an extremely light complexion, you might want to choose one shade darker. Conversely, if you have a darker skin tone, a shade that is twice as dark as your skin tone will most likely provide the impact that you desire.

KDKA rebounds in ratings Friday, May 25, 2001 By Rob Owen , Post-Gazette TV Editor
After WPXI's Feburary sweeps dominance, newscast ratings for the local stations returned to the more typical horse race in May. KDKA reclaimed the No. 1 position at 6 p.m. and WTAE didn't lose to WPXI at 6 a.m. -- but the NBC and ABC stations did tie.
During sweeps month each station's viewership is measured to set future advertising rates. The ratings released yesterday by Nielsen Media Research are household ratings that reflect more a measure of popularity rather than a basis for advertising rates. TV commercials are generally sold on demographic ratings, which won't be available for several weeks.
In its ratings book, Nielsen flags contests, including those during newscasts on WPXI and WTAE, because they may influence ratings. Lottery drawings on KDKA, which may also influence ratings, are not flagged because they're telecast year-round rather than only during sweeps months.
WTAE took a break from its contest in February, but the contest returned this month. The station's 5 p.m. ratings declined anyway. WPXI came in first, WTAE was second and KDKA third.
Among programs leading into the 5 p.m. news, KDKA got no help from "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," whose ratings declined by more than one full rating point from last year. Ratings for "Oprah Winfrey" on WTAE were up a hair, but ratings for WPXI's "Judge Judy," though still tops in the time period, were down.
At 6 p.m., KDKA was on top with WPXI second and WTAE third.
Among the network newscasts in direct competition, "NBC Nightly News With Tom Brokaw" beat ABC's "World News Tonight With Peter Jennings," but both had lower ratings than they had last May.
ABC didn't help WTAE's late news. ABC performed poorly in prime time nationally in May and ranked third place in Pittsburgh, too, giving WTAE the weakest 10 p.m. lead-in of all three stations.
In a teleconference earlier this week, ABC Entertainment Television Group co-chairman Lloyd Braun said improving the 10 p.m. time period was a priority in the coming season.
"We took a hard look at the 10 p.m. time periods because those are very important to our affiliates," Braun said. "We think we've done a really good job of shoring those up."
NBC's prime-time was No. 1 in Pittsburgh and powered WPXI to a win at 11 p.m. with KDKA second and WTAE third. KDKA improved most on its lead-in, while WPXI declined most from its lead-in.
The one constant in local news is continuing ratings erosion. The 5, 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts on all three channels saw their ratings drop compared to a year ago even as the number of homes using television increased at 5 and 6 p.m. Fewer people were glued to the tube at 11 p.m.
Conversely, viewers are turning on their television sets earlier in the morning. Ratings for news on all three stations were up in the 6 a.m. hour and more people were watching television at that time.
Though fewer homes had the TV on at 10 p.m. compared to a year ago, ratings for WPGH's "Ten O'Clock News" rose.

Hello, everyone. I was an atheist until at the age of 27 I began to study the Bible in order to debunk it. I learned quickly that the Bible was grossly misrepresented by apostate Christendom's adoption of pagan teachings such as the immortal soul from Socrates, the trinity from Plato, the cross from Constantine, hell from Dante and Milton, Easter from Astarte, Christmas from the winter solstice celebrations, and most recently the Rapture from Darby.
Though I have never and will never be a part of organized religion, my beliefs are not entirely dissimilar to that of The Jehovah's Witnesses, due to the removal of the aforementioned pagan influence. I have studied briefly the history of the major world religions, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Shintoism and Taoism and have published sacred and non-sacred texts from each of these online: The Dhammapada, Four Noble Truths, Paradise Lost, Divine Comedy, Analects Of Confucius, Bhagavad Gita, Qur'an, Pirqe Aboth, Nihongi, Kojiki, Tao Te Ching and Chuang Tzu.
Having been an atheist most of my life and given that nearly everyone I know is atheist, I think I understand and respect where most of you are coming from. I don't believe in "converting" anyone to anything, but I do think the atheist tends to be mislead when it comes to the Bible. Not that that matters much, except for that I do enjoy, given the opportunity, to correct them in thoughtful and polite discussion and debate.
I hope we can have some interesting conversations.
If you choose not to believe you still have a belief.
I believed that you were incorrect. That is, until I wrote this, and totally confused myself.
This does seem to be a cognitive artifact that developes from 'belief'. For the infected/true believer, the 'belief', that others see/attribute, becomes a 'truth'.
Sadly, that truth is given an excessive degree of confidence/certainty. Holding every idea as suspect, waiting for that wonderful piece of validation, can be unsettling, but believing nuttyness can give atleast a short term degree of stability.
I do wonder how many of us settle for nuttyness, and never find out about our error even on our death beds? Ignorance is bliss?
That is why I try, in vain, of course, to educate people on the Bible.
Why the bible? Why not the Mahabharata?
Please, explain, and provide tangible, testable evidence, as to why you came to the conclusion that the bible is true, and the other 2799 other god stories are not.
This has been said over and over, to every single theist that comes here to "educate asshole atheists;" the burden of proof is on the believer. You claim extraordinary claims, it is up to you to prove them, not to us to disprove them. If I tell you I can fly, and you should worship my dog's balls, because I can fly, you will want me to demonstrate my flight ability. You will demand real, tangible, testable evidence of my extraordinary claim. Just as we ask from you, and any other theist that happens to pop by to enlighten us on how they perceive the bible with some higher sense (Divine Inspiration?) that other theists don't possess.
And as much as you rail against the notion, you are a theist. You are a Christian. You are not, as some have suggested, a deist. You believe the bible, you are Christian. Just like every Christian, you have your own way to interpret it, so it feels right.
Again, show us real, tangible, testable evidence of why we should believe that the bible story holds any more credibility than all the other god stories in human history, and we will discuss it like adults. Until then, you are, with your 17 years of debating experience, providing the same argument that every other theist does. Your bible is not proof of it's correctness, just like Harry Potter is not proof of Hogwarts.
The ball is, and has always been, in your court. Show us extraordinary evidence for your extraordinary claims.
Thank you, we will wait.
".. to educate people on the Bible. Not to make ignorant Christians or Atheists but rather to make informed Christians or Atheists. At least as much as this is possible. "
Ahh, good the truth comes out and is made clear. How is this working for you? What if your ill informed version of 'truth', is not received, will you resort to tantrums and name calling again.
I am not really interested in returning to your feeding bucket. I spent about 1/4 of my life there, 1/4 too long, and allowed christian bullys way too much slack.
Wrong David, archaeopteryx.
I'm David L. Henson, and there are many of those as well.
How, easy it must be to be wrong. Being atheist and all.
That's my site, though I haven't put up any of my old writings yet. Just music, art and videos to start out.
Usually ever 8 weeks we get a new Theist who assumes he must be the first to arrive on this Atheist site and proceed to explain his version of the Bible to us. I can almost hear a hammer blow in their minds when they eventually "get" what we mean by EVIDENCE. Then it is usually a silent retreat. In the past we used to offer them PANCAKES.
I think it was a noble tradition and should be revived for the New Year. What say you all??
Thanks a lot, Robert! Now I'll never be able to eat pancakes again!
Nice try, but I can still see Palin's face and that innocuous smile --(shudders)
You HAD to show me Palin again - what are you trying to do, put my sex life on permanent hold?!
I agree completely. This should be amusing

Star group on Monday beat competition from Multi Screen Media ( Sony) to bag six-year broadcast and digital rights of India's international cricket matches at home and domestic events like Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy and the Irani Trophy.
Star, in collaboration with ESPNCricinfo, bagged the broadcast, internet and mobile rights in India for a period of six years starting from July 2012 till March 2018.
The Rupert Murdoch-owned company's six-year contract is valued at Rs 3851 crore and will cover 96 matches in all.
It would be coughing up Rs 40 crore per match on an average much higher than the Rs 32.5 crore per match that Nimbus was paying the BCCI before its contract was terminated last year due to default in payments.
Star and Multi Screen Media (Sony) were the only two companies to make the bids but a total of five had filed the tenders.
"The BCCI is very happy with the deal. Now the media rights have been fully evaluated and fully priced with Star coming out with such a deal," BCCI president N Srinivasan told reporters while making the announcement.
The second highest bidder was Multi Screen Media (Sony), which bid Rs 3700 crore.
"Following a transparent process of verifying the eligibility of each bidder, the winner was chosen," Srinivasan said.
Star Group's India CEO Uday Shankar promised that the company would provide good telecast of the matches.
"I thank the BCCI for giving Star the broadcast rights. In collaboration with our partners ESPN, we will do a commendable job," he said.
"We have already got channels. But the option of launching a channel if number of matches demand that is always open," he added.
ESPN-Star already have the rights of all ICC events and also the rights of domestic cricket in England and Australia.
The BCCI's marketing committee had set the price for category A games at Rs 31.25 crore per match (approx $6.1 million) plus Rs 1 crore (approx $0.2 million), while category B games were set at Rs 34 crore (approx $6.67 million) plus Rs 1 crore.
The board failed in its attempt to sell the internet rights separately last year, as the initial base price of Rs 3 crore and the subsequently reduced price of Rs 2 crore found no takers.
The matter has subsequently been referred for arbitration, with the Bombay High Court ruling that Nimbus must deposit Rs 305 crore (approx $60 million) with the court as security for the amount the BCCI claims it is owed by the company.
Nimbus has also made a counter-claim of Rs 600 crore (approx $118 million) from the board.

I am looking for a stud dog that is black, yellow factored or yellow. Must be an FC and or AFC or national, to breed to my yellow NAFC Cropper female. She is 8.5 yo so I don't want to ship her again or do an AI if at all possible. She has been bred to FC Dusty and I really liked his pups, so that was a nice cross. I plan to keep a pup so it would be nice to aviod Lean Mac or have him a few gens back to keep my breeding options open with the pup in the future. (I AM a Lean Mac fan) I would drive 10 hours or so to get it done if need be. I am in NE Louisiana. Watermarks the Boss was a possibility, but he passed away two weeks ago. Heat cycle due in about April or May.
Any suggestions? Thanks, Paul

I Can't find a better price or quality on the web for menthol crystals. Packaging from BA is always top quality.
Posted by Mary Anderson on 21st Jan 2017
This is the first time I have ordered menthol crystals. I looked around and, as usual, BA has the best price. It comes in an easy to use packet with a resealable closing. So far I have only used it in lotion bars to use for muscle aches. But, there are also a lot of different items this product can be used in. Definitely recommend this item.

A collision in Longueuil involving an unmarked police car sent three people to hospital.
The crash happened during the Thursday morning rush hour when a driver tried to make a left-hand turn from Gaetan Boucher Blvd. onto Davis Blvd.
The Surete du Quebec police officer driving an unmarked vehicle rammed the right-hand side of the car, destroying the front end of the police cruiser and knocking the other car across the street and into a stop sign.
A 31-year-old man and his two children -- 14 and 5 years old -- were all badly hurt.
On Friday morning Montreal's police department, which has taken over the investigation, said the teenager's life was no longer in danger, but the 5-year-old remained in critical condition.

Finish Maintenance
What products do all you veteran owners recommend to us new or about to be owners. My new boat is red, Ive seen alot of oxidized reds on the water, and I don't want to be one of them. Ive used Meguiars on previous boats, but was wondering if anybody had any thoughts or opinions on better stuff to try. Thanks

I have a yellow mobius LSV that's an 03 model, sits on a covered lift but still get's a lot of sun. We wax it 2-3 times per year and also wipe it down after every trip and spray on 303 which I think really helps keep it from fading when it's in the sun. Make sure to really wipe it dry when you bring it out of the water or you will get water spots. We use ducky to remove any spots that do show up.

Their mother admires the five Clarke sisters equally Sunday, February 09, 2003 By Mackenzie Carpenter, Post-Gazette Staff Writer
Torie Clarke may be the best known of the five Clarke sisters of Sewickley, but her mother isn't about to say who was the best-behaved, or the smartest, or the prettiest.
"They're all very talented and very nice," declared Cecilia Clarke, 78. "They were all good students and enjoyed school."
Torie was, however, "the tallest," her mother admitted. "She was fairly noisy and more interested in sports than the others, particularly horseback riding and field hockey, but she gave the hockey up because she didn't see any point in losing her face."
How's that again?
"She was the goalie. She just didn't believe in living dangerously."
Maybe not, but Torie Clarke may get some dicey duty as Defense Department spokeswoman if the United States goes to war in Iraq. Which worries her father a little bit.
"I'd rather she hadn't taken the job. It's risky, and you never know what is going to happen," said Dr. Charles Clarke. "But she can handle it. She's kind of bold, a person of action rather than contemplation."
The 81-year old internist -- "that means I'm a doc for old people" -- still has a practice and goes into the office every day.
All of the Clarke sisters, in fact, grew up to do interesting things, their parents note proudly.
Caitlin Clarke, the oldest, at 52, is an actress and graduate of Yale Drama School who has appeared on Broadway in "Titanic" and acted in productions with Kevin Kline and Christopher Reeve. Two years ago, she moved back home from Manhattan to teach theater arts at the University of Pittsburgh.
"I love it. I love being able to walk out my door and smell trees every day," said Caitlin, who described her youngest sister Torie as "the one most interested in news and current events. When she was in high school, she always insisted on watching Johnny Carson before going to bed, while the rest of us were into the classics, opera and Gilbert and Sullivan."
Anne Clarke-Ronce, 50, of San Francisco, heads an executive search and human resources consulting firm. She was appointed by California Gov. Gray Davis to the state's Fair Employment Commission and she is, her father said, "a real women's libber," a description that sent Caitlin into paroxyms of laughter. "She's a very accomplished person," Caitlin said in an amused defense of her sister.
Constance Clarke, 49, of New York, is a researcher for ABC's "Prime Time Live," while Cecilia Clarke, 45, of Sewickley, "is probably the most learned of the bunch," said her father, with degrees in anthropology and theology.
Growing up in the small blue-gray house on Academy Avenue, Torie was always the comic relief, said Caitlin.
"She was hilarious, just a very lively, fun baby girl. She used to insist on walking around the house in a cowboy hat and leather pants. I think she actually had a holster and a gun."
Torie was, her father insisted, named after Queen Victoria, "one of my heroes." But his oldest daughter begs to differ.
"My mom always said that when she was born, her heart valve didn't work so they baptized her right away, and when she made it through, they named her Victoria because she was victorious over death."

Church takes Ash Wednesday to the Streets
On Ash Wednesday, February 18th, Ascension Episcopal Church will be offering "Ashes to Go," a new approach to a centuries-old Christian tradition, at the corner of Shoshone and Main from 12:00 noon to 1:00 PM.
Ascension Church is part of a new nationwide movement that has clergy and lay people visiting transit stops, street corners, coffee shops, and college campuses to mark the foreheads of interested passers-by with ashes and invite them to repent of past wrongdoing and seek forgiveness and renewal.
We are located downtown at the corner of Maryland Parkway and Bridger Avenue. Our school has been around since 1958 and we are currently celebrating our 56th year; we added a preschool 7 years ago. As our wonderful city has grown to fill the valley, we have chosen to remain as a fixture in the downtown area. Our school has been the elementary school "home" to thousands of children over the past 56 years. Andre Agassi (professional tennis player) and Vernon Fox (a 9 year veteran of the NFL, whose children also attend our Preschool) are a couple of our most highly recognized graduates. We also graduated children who have gone on to be high ranking military officers, engineers, doctors, and possibly the most important, TEACHERS.

After spending a very eventful and busy year 2012 promoting their latest album release, "Bilateral", Norwegian progsters LEPROUS have commenced the recording sessions for their as-yet-untitled new studio album, to be released in early 2013 via InsideOut Music.
Commented LEPROUS singer/synth player Einar Solberg: "As many of you already know, we've started recording our new album. The drums are finished, and we're now focusing on the guitars. Also this time we're using Vegard 'Ihsahn' Tveitan and Heidi 'StarOfAsh' S. Tveitan as our producers/technicians. The drums were recorded in the really cool and old school Juke Joint Studio, and we're really satisfied with the result. "As far as the new music, we can only remind you that LEPROUS will never be the kind of band to re-create the mood from previous works, and it's very important for us that each album has its own strong character. We have great belief in this album and we promise something fresh, challenging and soulful! This album will also be mixed and mastered by Mr. Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios." The first in a series of video clips featuring footage from the studio can be seen below. After a successful run headlining the European Progressive Assault tour our all over Europe this past October, LEPROUS is not only already working on touring plans for 2013, but has also started confirming some prominent summer festival slots (Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, Tuska, etc.) as well as special international shows in countries like Serbia (making up for a cancelled show date on the past tour) as well as Israel in January.LEPROUS' New Album To Be Co-Produced By Former EMPEROR Frontman

Nerding out
So, where should I go to eat while in Baltimore? And any concerts happening there on Friday or Saturday evening (especially Saturday, there's no papers that night)?
6 comments:

Scott, you should consider seeing the Salzburg Marionnette Theater's Magic Flute on Saturday night (7:30 pm, at Shriver Hall, on the Johns Hopkins campus). Also, all weekend, Peabody Opera Theater is staging Britten's Turn of the Screw, one of my favorites, and farther afield, Maryland Opera Theater is giving the world premiere of John Musto's new opera in College Park (just outside Washington). The BSO is playing, too, but not anything particularly exciting. On Friday night, again if you want to come down to Washington, the Quatuor Ysaÿe is playing a free concert at the Library of Congress. Also, Friday and Sunday, Baltimore Opera has a good production of Donizetti's Maria Stuarda on at the moment.
I will be reviewing none of these things on Saturday, as I have to be singing for the dedication of the newly decorated dome at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. *sigh*
Enjoy your conference! Feel free to send your colleagues to Ionarts for some concert guidance. - 11/14/2007 12:22 AM

I had that Star Trek moment in my first class in college about 7 years ago. My Political Science professor was talking about an episode in which "Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy were arguing on a so-called primitive planet about differing visions of the Prime Directive. McCoy wanted to liberate the people but Spock wanted--"
I yelled out "THE APPLE" before I could stop myself. I then tried to look around like it wasn't me.
But it was too late. ::sighs:: - 11/18/2007 11:50 AM

Charles and Harlan, thanks for the recommendations. Unfortunately, I started getting sick on Saturday afternoon, and wasn't up to going out to any concerts.
Antonio, I like Justin's book. That is indeed what we discussed, a very interesting back-n-forth with Justin, Fred Lerdahl, and others.
Admiral, embrace your nerdiness. - 11/20/2007 11:59 PM

While I'm on that topic
Best line:
"American colleges could follow the same path as American high schools and become warehouses of anti-intellectual and anti-educational slackers. In the years ahead, the real campus war may be between those who think that students should adapt to the rigors of higher education, and those who think that higher education should adapt to the declining motivation and intellectual commitment of students."

Benicio Del Toro seems to be one of those brilliant actors whose career boils down to appearing in either great movies that nobody sees (like Steven Soderbergh's unfairly ignored two-part "Che") or giant horrible movies that no one should fucking see ("The Hunted," "The Wolf Man"), so we're meeting the news (via Variety) that he's wanted as the as-yet-unannounced villain for not-really-called-"Star Trek 2" with a fair amount of excitement. Just think – a good movie that tons of people will see! Co-starring Benicio Del Toro! We're running out of exclamation marks!
The trade reports that he's being officially offered the role this weekend and that Del Toro has met with returning director J.J. Abrams but "in an effort to keep the role a secret, still doesn't know exactly what it is." Now, from the speculation that Abrams and his original collaborators, co-screenwriters Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof, would be taking on the original "Star Trek II: Wrath of Kahn" storyline in some capacity, well, Del Toro as Ricardo Montalbán isn't a huge stretch.
For those of you who have moved out of your parents' basement and are comfortably enjoying an active sex life with a human woman, Montalbán originated the Khan Noonien Singh character on a 1967 episode of the original "Star Trek" series entitled "Space Seed." In 1982 the character was brought back for the theatrical sequel, "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," considered largely by both action figure devotees and regular people, to be the pinnacle of the 'Trek' movies… at least until Abrams' sparkly 2009 reboot jumped to warp speed.
And we could very easily see the new 'Trek' team tackling the Khan character, although his primary motivation (revenge against Kirk for sending him to prison), is an awful lot like the one that drove Eric Bana's Nero character in the 2009 film. It's very likely that Abrams has conceived of a way to bring Khan back in a way that is altogether different than his original series incarnation (especially given the taffy-like metaphysical tangle that the new 'Trek' universe occupies). Could the supposedly retired Leonard Nimoy be brought back to identify Khan? What about William Shatner? Has his angry protesting about being left out of the reboot endeared him enough to show up in the sequel?
Back in 2009 (aka when "Cowboys & Aliens" seemed like a cool idea) co-writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman told Collider that they were debating between "the exploration sci-fi plot where the unknown and nature itself is somehow an adversary or the villain model." Clearly they've chosen the latter. It'll be interesting to see what kind of villain Del Toro plays if he doesn't play Khan, and since "Star Trek" was one of the rare tent pole films from the last couple of years that actually got our blood pumping, we're very excited he'll be teaming up with that film's original creative team.
While "Star Trek 2" (which isn't the actual title) is scheduled to start shooting soon, the release day hasn't been locked down, but we're guessing summer 2013, alongside "Iron Man 3," "Pacific Rim," "The Lone Ranger," and "Superman: Man of Steel." Count us among the many that are ready to be beamed up again.

Paul Sills' Story Theatre
Paul Sills' Story Theatre | |
Written by | Paul Sills |
Date premiered | October 26, 1970 |
Place premiered | Ambassador Theatre New York City |
Original language | English |
Subject | Grimms' Fairy Tales |
Genre | Comedy |
Paul Sills' Story Theatre is a play with music, adapted from fairy tales collected by the Brothers Grimm and Aesop's Fables.[1]
It opened on Broadway at the Ambassador Theatre on October 26, 1970 and closed on July 3, 1971, after 243 performances and 14 previews. Directed by Paul Sills, it featured Paul Sand, Valerie Harper, Richard Schaal, Peter Bonerz, Melinda Dillon, Richard Libertini and Hamilton Camp. Linda Lavin joined the cast as a replacement.
Sills and the company developed "Story Theatre" from actual fairy tales, using improvisational theater techniques they adapted from his mother's (Viola Spolin) books and teachings. These techniques, under Sills direction evolved into The Second City in Chicago, the first improvisational theater company in the US and eventually into another outgrowth, Story Theatre.[2] Transformation, mime, and dance are the basis of the "Story Theatre" method. Story Theatre improvises plays from stories, myths, folk tales, and legends.[3]
The Story Theatre on Broadway was composed of 8 actors with a rock-folk band, "The True Brethren", enacting fairy tale stories.[4] The stories included "The Bremen Town Musicians," "The Little Peasant," "The Robber Bridegroom," "The Master Thief," "The Fisherman and His Wife," "Two Crows," "The Golden Goose," "Henny Penny," and "Venus and the Cat". Each cast member portrayed the various characters in each story; for example, Paul Sand was the Robber Bridegroom, Turkey Lurkey, Cowherd and Rich Peasant, and the Simpleton.
Musical numbers featured "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" and "Dear Landlord" by Bob Dylan, "Here Comes The Sun" by George Harrison. Additional music was by "The True Brethren" (Hamilton Camp, Waqidi Falicoff, Raphael Grinage, Loren Pickford).
A television adaptation, produced in Canada and featuring several cast members from the play, aired in 1971.[5]

Play in steering box
I have , what seems to me to me, to be to much play in my steering box. I have adjusted the screw on top of the box but no noticable difference. Does anyone have any suggestions.
Are you sure its the box and not the tie rod ends, pitman arm etc? Get somebody to turn the steering wheel for you while you look underneath. You should be able to tell what's moving and what's loose pretty easily.
X2 on checking the rest of your steering. If your tie rod ends are bad you can get steering wander or that loose steering feel.

Shelling of B.I ship
I can as a schoolboy remember a story in the press about the near miss from a Spanish coastal fort on a B.I ship ( may have been s.s.Kenya) some time in the late 60s. can anyone expand on this? I'll bet Tom Kelso has some knowledge of this incident.

SHELLING OF BRITISH SHIPPING IN 60s
Ive found a website dedicated to these Spanish shore batteries .some are still in existance ,6 forts armed with 4 Vickers made 15"(381mm) .guns
which were installed in the early 1930s |
Shelling of BI ship
The ship in question was "Uganda", I was on board at the time. It was Trafalgar Day, and we had gone close inshore to let the passengers get a look at Cape Trafalgar.

Uganda incident
Hi peter thanks for your reply. what year would that have been? was the charts for the area shown as restricted? and did it spark an international incident?
Ronnie R |
Shelling of "Uganda".
Will check on the year. I think I may have a newspaper cutting somewhere. That may have some information about what was on the charts. I believe the Foreign Office got involved, and it made the t.v. news in U.K. I was down below at the time, and remember the ship heeling as the helm was put hard over, and the telegraph ringing for Full Ahead. When we got a phone call from the bridge to say we were being fired on by shore batteries, we thought it was a wind-up!

"Shelling" of Uganda
Ronnie & Peter (to whom Salaams)
There follows Captain Eric Plowman's description of the incident, as published in the book "UGANDA - The story of a Very Special Ship" (reproduction with permission of the s.s.Uganda Trust:- Quote "Perhaps the nearest I came to the wrath of the Managing Director was on my return to London after the Trafalgar incident. Richard Harris was an historian, and he worked closely with Jim Eades, Deputy Headmaster, who was a naval historian. They both wanted to capture the authentic feel of naval battles, so I always took the ship inside the shallows off Cape Trafalgar and a commentary was given from the bridge. The day in question was the 21st October, Trafalgar Day, and I set a safe course from which the Cape could be seen. During a Party Leaders' Conference a huge explosion occurred and the ship shuddered; I quietly excused myself from the meeting and went to the bridge. Shells from the Spanish shore battery were exploding half a mile ahead of the ship. It was difficult to alter course because the reefs to the west were too shallow, so we soldiered on until the ship had a clear run and then made haste from the Spanish coast. It gave Trafalgar Dayan exciting climax. The "Daily Mail" had the headline "Captain Turns Nelsonic Eye to Spanish Barrage", we made the television and radio news, there were questions in the House, and all the rest of the bally hoo. So why did we get in the range of the Spanish guns? It was a legitimate firing practice by the Spanish, but we had not been warned of it by our notices to mariners. The rounds were only practice rounds, so my experienced naval commander Staff Captain David Harridane advised, and they were not firing at us intentionally, it was accidental. It was Trafalgar Day, or was it? The Chairman was not amused. Lucky for me that the Deputy Chairman, Richard Adams, had been on board, so I was spareda hundred lashes. The children were not in danger, so all was well. (Unquote) Regards Tom |
"Shelling" of Uganda
Herewith is another "eye witness account" which has been very kindly sent to me by Captain David (Mike) Harradine, RNR retd. Quote To set the record straight. Trafalgar Day 1969, Cruise 163, the ship was on passage Livorno/Lisbon. Lovely autumn day - sunny and hazy, with moderate visibility. Eric Plowman had taken the ship inside the Trafalgar shoals to show the customers the Cape. I was Staff Captain and had just read Nelson's prayer over the broadcast. After that I came out on the starboard side of the Prom Deck to chat to ICP's. As I did so, there was an audible "crack" broad on the starboard beam and a small splash (about a metre high) about 40 metres off. Two more "shots" followed again with small splashes. The splashes were quite clean - no smoke. They reminded me very much of Bofors break-up shot. It was reported by the CRO that an ICP* had immediately telegraphed the UK press magnifying the event into a deliberate unprovoked attack by Spain on an innocent British schoolship. Speed was increased and UGANDA cleared the area without further ado. BI London were on the case quickly. On return to Southampton 26th, Eric was told by John Sharpe that the ship had strayed into a Spanish gunnery opractice area. Spanish authorities in Madrid informed the UK Air Attache that the practice areas and times were promulgated correctly. Unfortunately, no such information was held in UGANDA or UK Hydrographic office. The Spanish government did apologise Unquote (ICP = Independent Cabin Passenger i.e not student party leader) So there you have it, Ronnie, from the "horses' mouths" Tom |

Hi Tom
That was a fabulous account of the incident. I must order a copy of the book about "Uganda". Many thanks for your time and effort! Regards Ronnie R Last edited by ronnie r; 1st September 2006 at 11:27.. |

Pump it up?
The problem with grade inflation
By GEORGE LEEF SPECIAL TO THE DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE
This article was published October 6, 2013 at 3:44 a.m.
- Comment (1)
- aAFont Size
Nearly a decade ago, I wrote a paper on the problem of grade inflation. Just as with monetary inflation, I think that bad things ensue from awarding students grades that are higher than they've truly earned.
I thought there was a consensus that something has to be done to arrest grade inflation, so I was surprised when I received a copy of a law review article making "A Case for Grade Inflation in Legal Education." The author, Joshua Silverstein, who teaches at the William H. Bowen School of Law at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, sent it because he cited my grade inflation paper for the purpose of disagreeing with it.
Professor Silverstein is not arguing in favor of grade inflation generally, although I can imagine educational egalitarians using his case for law school grade inflation to defend grade inflation (or even grade abolition) elsewhere. He is only arguing that law schools where traditional grading is still in force should "substantially eliminate" C grades (and lower), thereby making law school grading uniform.
His first argument is that grading differences can be unfair.
Some law schools. especially those that are highly ranked, use a grading system that's common in most graduate schools, where a C is reserved for truly unsatisfactory work. The grading disparity leads to unfairness for students at mid- and lower-ranked law schools where uninflated grading still prevails.
Among examples, Silverstein mentions the law school at Northern Kentucky University, which recommends that professors who teach first-year courses grade so that 30 to 60 percent of their grades are either C or C+. In contrast, C grades have mostly disappeared at prestigious law schools like Harvard.
That difference can have an impact when students enter the legal job market. Students who graduate from more prestigious law schools already have an advantage merely because of their school's reputation. For them to get another "bump" because their school has abandoned low grades is, Silverstein says, unfair "double counting."
Suppose that law student Arnie graduates from Northern Kentucky, the best law school he could get into given his undergraduate record and his score on the Law School Admission Test. Also suppose that law student Belinda graduates from the University of Kentucky law school, the state's most prestigious school. Finally, suppose that they both wind up applying for the same job.
Belinda has a big advantage. Not only is UK the more prestigious school, but she also has a higher GPA, let's say 3.3 versus Arnie's 3.2. Belinda almost certainly gets that job. Arnie, who worked extremely hard, appears to have suffered unfairly.
If Northern Kentucky adopted Silverstein's proposal and did away with C grades, perhaps Arnie's average would have been higher than Belinda's, thus giving him a better chance. Wouldn't that be more fair?
Maybe or maybe not. Higher education is largely a positional good and it simply isn't possible to improve everyone's position.
It might be the case above that Arnie's 3.2 at a "lower" school where high grades are very hard to come by could be the very thing that at least gets him into consideration with students like Belinda and might give him an edge over graduates of other non-prestige schools where grading has been relaxed.
When it's known that grading is becoming more lenient and compressed at the top, one way for a student to distinguish himself is to excel where high grades still have to be earned.
Therefore, I'm not convinced that the homogenization of law school grading is all upside and no downside.
Silverstein's second argument is that low grades are (or can be) psychologically harmful. Even though students at schools where C really means average are told that getting some Cs does not mean they're doing poorly, he argues that many are nevertheless shocked and depressed by them. That could cause some to drop out or reduce their level of effort. "When we award large numbers of disappointing C grades to law students," he writes, "we harm them in ways that are intrinsically bad and undercut our pedagogical aspirations."
Even when students are told that getting a C does not mean failure or even below-average work, he says that many still get depressed, with some leaving law school and giving up on a promising career.
If a law student goes to pieces over a C, I doubt that he or she is suited to the legal profession, where severe criticism by partners, judges, opposing counsel and others is common.
Law schools graduate substantially more people than there are jobs in the profession. Maybe it is not a bad thing if students who are emotionally unable to handle a low or average grade decide that the legal "paper chase" isn't really for them.
Silverstein has another card to play on his "psychological harm" argument. He acknowledges the "weeding-out" feature of grading noted above and admits that it has some force with regard to adults. But, he writes, "Most of our students are not adults; they are adolescents." It is "well accepted," he writes, that adolescence continues into the mid-20s.
I doubt that any other law professor regards his students as adolescents. But even if we agreed that law students are still adolescents, why shouldn't adolescents get accurate feedback on how their work compares with that of other students?
A good lawyer always tries to think of possible objections to his case, and Silverstein does just that. Among the counter-arguments he attempts to head off is that by eliminating Cs, we compress the grading scale and thereby reduce the utility of grades in conveying where students stand in relation to each other. There are still plenty of gradations from A+ to B- for that, Silverstein argues, and more if a school uses numerical grades.
If a law school using letter grades insists that professors follow his admonition
and give Cs for failing work, they have only six choices, ranging from A+ for students who display exceptional knowledge of the course material down to B- for those whose exam is weak but barely passing. Put that on a normal curve and it means that the great bulk of grades will be A- and B+.
While distinctions among students are still possible, many will get the same grade (B+ for instance) when their work varies substantially in quality. Squeezing a lot of students into a narrow grading range creates new "fairness" problems.
What are the consequences of adopting Silverstein's "kinder and gentler" approach to grading?
On the plus side, a small number of students like Arnie who graduate from formerly traditional grading law schools might be able to find legal employment because their GPAs look better. That benefit, however, would be offset by an equal number of law grads who will lose out to them.
On the other side, Silverstein's approach would aggravate a problem that's already widespread throughout our education system—giving students "good" grades to keep them happy, optimistic, and enrolled.
Grade inflation is a bad thing because it shields students from unpleasant realities. That is just as true for marginal law students as it is for academically weak and disengaged undergrads.

The grading system in law school is tougher than in undergraduate school and probably many graduate programs as well. That's been the case for a long time. When I graduated from law school in 1983 my GPA was not bad, but it was considerably lower than my GPA in undergraduate school (The difference was .417, a significant difference on a 4 point scale). There is a tradition of "book awards" for the top paper--meaning the top grade as there is usually only one test per semester in law school. I got four or five "top paper" awards when I was in law school, and at least two of them were in classes in which I got a B +. That's right--nobody made an A.
The problem at this point is that, unfortunately, there are far more graduates than there are positions for new lawyers. I remember reading that since the great meltdown in 2008, about two-thirds of law graduates were able to find jobs that required a law degree. I see no signs that prospects are improving.
I don't think there are any hiring committees at big law firms suffering under the delusion that a prospect with a 3.3 grade average is really any better than a prospect with a 3.2 grade average. I think most lawyers are generally aware of the grading that goes on in law schools, and that it's really only the top tier that doesn't send out a lot of graduates with C averages. That may well be fair, because the top tier law schools attract a lot of top tier students, while the top tier students in more modestly ranked law schools are generally those who either couldn't get into the top tier schools or who couldn't afford the tuition and didn't want to borrow any more money than necessary to get an education.
It is a genuine challenge to teach the skills necessary to the practice of law, and to prepare students to become lawyers. Testing is necessarily subjective when one's grade depends on a single examination, usually a series of three or four essay questions, given at the end of the semester.
I think most people in the profession understand the significance of law school grades, and we must remember that law students don't compete with graduate students in other programs for jobs.

JUMP IN your DeLorean, punch 2002 into the computer and wind the speedo up to 88mph. Back then you'll find Mark Jones's eye searing FAT57 on the cover of Street Machine August 2002.
It was one of the most admired cars in the country that year, and it won the coveted Street Machine Of The Year trophy with its amazing stance and build quality. From the beautiful custom leather trim through to the House Of Kolor Tangelo paint, the shoebox Chevy was pure class from bumper to bumper. Mark's ultimate goal was to win Top Judged at Summernats, and he achieved that just five months later at Summernats 15.
Mark went on to build plenty of other cool rides, like his awesome GTO coupe and a neat Chevy pick-up, but first and foremost he'll always been known as the man behind FAT57. Don't forget to check back next week for another Flashback Friday.

Most modern Macs—except for the MacBook Air and some MacBook models—offer both FireWire and USB connections. When shopping for an external hard drive, then, you have many options for something that will work with your Mac. Today, USB hard drives are more common and less expensive than FireWire or even FireWire/USB combo drives.
But ubiquity doesn't necessarily equate to superiority. All other areas of comparison aside, what many people want to know is how the two technologies match up in terms of speed. USB 2.0 has a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 480 Mbps, versus 400 Mbps for FireWire 400 and 800 Mbps for FireWire 800. To get a sense of real-world performance, however, we ran drive tests on both a 2.4GHz 17-inch MacBook Pro with a 160GB, 5400RPM internal hard drive and a Mac Pro 3GHz 8-core system with a 250GB, 7200RPM internal drive (each with OS X 10.6.2 and 2GB of RAM installed).
Western Digital My Book Studio
When we connected the MacBook Pro to a 2TB Western Digital My Book Studio drive and copied a 1GB file to it from the internal hard drive, we found that it took 23 percent less time over FireWire 400 than over USB 2.0. Duplicating that file using FireWire 400 on the WD drive took 10 percent less time than when run over USB 2.0. To see how the different connections performed in more typical backup tasks, we copied over a 2.5GB folder containing 5000 individual files and folders. In that test, we found the FireWire 400 transfer to be 26 percent faster than USB 2.0. Using AJA's System Test application, we found the MacBook Pro's FireWire 400 connection to be 46 percent faster than USB in the writing tests. In the reading tests, however, the edge went to USB, which was nine percent faster than FireWire 400.
Using the same hard drive, but connected to our Mac Pro, we found the FireWire 400 connection to be 19 percent faster than the USB on the copy to the external drive, 21 percent faster on both the duplication test and the copy 5000 files test, and exactly the same in terms of performance difference on the AJA read and write tests as with the MacBook Pro.
Comparing the FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 results on the MacBook Pro with the My Book Studio showed the FireWire 800 connection to be 35 percent faster at copying the file to the external drive, 51 percent faster duplicating that file on the external drive, and 37 percent faster copying over the 5000 files and folders. The AJA write test showed the FireWire 800 connection's throughput at almost three times faster than the USB connected WD, with 58 percent faster read scores.
The My Book tested on the Mac Pro showed the FireWire 800 connection to be 48 percent faster than USB at copying the file to the external drive, 54 percent faster duplicating the file, and 49 percent faster copying over our 5000 files and folders. The AJA write tests showed the 800 connection writing twice as many megabytes per second as the USB connection, and 49 percent faster reading.
Verbatim portable
We also tested a zippy little Verbatim portable drive, which was 23 percent faster than USB in the copy to external test on the MacBook Pro, 21 percent faster at the duplication test, 14 percent faster on the 5000 file copy test, 42 percent faster on the AJA write throughput, and 8 percent faster on the AJA read throughput.
Connected via FireWire 800, we saw FireWire speeds 42 percent faster than USB at our copy to external test, 55 percent faster on our duplication test, 32 percent faster in the 5000 files test, and two times faster in the AJA read and write scores.
On the Mac Pro, the Verbatim with a FireWire 400 connection was 13 percent faster than USB at our copy to test, 10 percent faster at our duplication test, 12 percent faster in our 5000 file copy test, 18 percent faster in AJA's write tests and five percent faster than USB in the AJA read tests.
Connected to the FireWire 800 port, the Verbatim was 47 percent faster at our copy to test than when connected over USB. It was 49 percent faster than USB in our duplication tests, 44 percent faster in our 5000 file copy test and again, twice as fast as USB in both the read and write tests we ran using AJA's System Test software.

Copy and Duplicate scores are in minutes:seconds (lower is better). AJA System Test scores are in MBps (higher is better).
And the winner is…
From our speed tests, it's safe to say that Apple made the right choice switching to FireWire 800 from FireWire 400 on many Mac models. Although FireWire 400 is faster at most tasks than USB 2.0 (even though FireWire 400's theoretical bandwidth is lower than USB 2.0's) it isn't always, or by much. If you're looking for speed, FireWire 800 crushes USB on both systems in all four tests we ran. FireWire 400 is a pretty good choice too in most cases, but it's modest speed advantage might not be enough to warrant paying extra for.
Looking forward, much of this is bound to change. The release of USB 3.0 products in early 2010 promises speeds greater than FireWire 800 and even eSATA, with a theoretical maximum bandwidth of 4.8 Gbps. Of course, it may be some time before Apple begins supporting USB 3.0 and including such ports on the Mac. In the meantime, be sure to check out our hard drive buying guides to help you pick out the right hard drive.

Summary: | This is a letter to the Honorable William Fitzgerald from J.R. Hawkins, dated September 10, 1846. Hawkins writes about General Taylor moving his troops to take over Monterey. Hawkins believes that there will be more fighting than expected and that the troops from Tennessee will be too sick to fight properly. He describes the Rivers Rio Grand and San Juan. Hawkins mentions an embarrassing incident where some of the men from his company deserted leading to an exaggerated an untrue story in a local paper. Hawkins requests that Fitzgerald get the newspaper to print a retraction. |
