Over the years, Soul Train has showcased all forms of black music. The blues was by no means an exception.
Blues music was just as popular in the seventies as it was in its heyday in the 1940s and 50s. In fact, blues music, along with be-bop, was a forerunner to rap music, with its narratives on world issues, women, booze, money, sex and partying—topics that are still in rap music today . The genre held its own in the midst of the changing music styles of the seventies and was helmed by the King of the Blues, B.B. King.
Soul Train host Don Cornelius, who was a big fan of the blues, believed it was important to feature blues music on his program in addition to other musical trends that were slowly eclipsing the genre. By featuring blues artists such as B.B. King and Bobby "Blue" Bland on Soul Train, it was a way to illustrate that blues music was still highly relevant.
B.B. King made his first Soul Train appearance in late 1971. He brought his band along with him (as well as his trademark guitar, "Lucille"), and played all of their performances live on this episode. He opened with his 1969 hit "Why I Sing the Blues."
Later in the show, after King introduced his band members, a question-and-answer session was conducted between him and the Soul Train Gang. One dancer asked if it was difficult to keep his originality with the changing music landscape being widespread. King replied, "It is sometimes. When I hear other people playing things I play, I listen to the other people playing things I don't play and I think in terms of the trend of music happening." He added that he balances both his own style along with current music trends to maintain his originality. B.B. then performed his latest single, "Ain't Nobody Home."
King closed the show with his classic, "The Thrill is Gone." It reached number three on the soul singles chart and number 15 on the pop charts in February 1970, becoming his highest ranking single on the pop charts, and was entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998.
King returned to Soul Train in the fall of 1973 to promote his latest album To Know You is To Love You. Don Cornelius said in his introduction of King: "He was not born a prince nor was he promised from birth a kingdom or the riches that normally characterize royalty. He had to earn his crown." He then presented King, who sang a track from the album, "I Like to Live the Love," which would be released as a single a few months later. It went number six on the soul singles chart and number 28 on the pop singles chart. He didn't bring his band this time, but he sang all of the vocals live over the pre-recorded musical tracks. His gutsy live vocals, along with the mid-tempo steady beat, garnered huge applause from the Soul Train Gang after he finished performing.
Later in the show, Cornelius commended King on the album, noting Stevie Wonder wrote its title track and asked how Wonder came to write that song for him. King explained that during a rehearsal for the Pearl Bailey Show, Wonder told B.B. that he wanted to write a song for him. So some years later, King's producer, Dave Crawford, told him that Wonder had written a song for him but King had already known about it. Not only did Wonder write the song, but he also played piano on it. The uptempo track is a gem, with the blending of King's guitar playing and Wonder's piano playing. The Soul Train Gang loved this cut as they gave the song quite a workout on the dance floor.
King closed the show with a slow, bluesy tune from the album entitled "I Can't Leave."
The album To Know You is To Love You did quite well on the soul album charts, peaking at number 13, but only reaching number 71 on the pop album charts. It didn't matter; a chart ranking couldn't take away the fact that King had many fans who loved and appreciated his music. In fact, the album generated quite a bit of attention and put him back in the mainstream limelight, as he was also a guest on the popular Midnight Special program performing material from the album, which aired the night before this segment of Soul Train was broadcast.
In February 1975, King returned to Soul Train to do a cameo as a special guest on a show which featured fellow blues great Bobby "Blue" Bland. With Bland, Cornelius and the other special guest, Godfather of Soul James Brown on stage, Brown introduced King as "the other part of the blues, the two of them (King and Bland) make the only blues in the world, Mr. B.B. King!" King received thunderous applause as he went on stage and Cornelius mentioned that King's and Bland's appearances were prompted by the recent album they did together, a live concert album called Together For the First Time…Live. Cornelius asked them to do a medley of some of their tunes, but when Brown was about to leave the stage with Cornelius, Bland told Brown to remain on stage to sing with them. What occurred was one of the most classic moments in the history of Soul Train and in soul music in general.
King, Bland and Brown did an impromptu blues medley, doing takeoffs of each other's hits. Brown started his career singing the blues so he blended well with King and Bland, both of whom he knew for a long time. At one point, while Brown harmonized, Bland sang "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag, so open up the door and I will get it myself," which prompted cheers from the Soul Train Gang. Seeing these three legends on stage is a rare moment that is forever cemented in the archives of Soul Train.
King made his fourth and final Soul Train appearance on a show that aired two weeks after his appearance with Brown and Bland. This appearance was actually filmed on that same day and this time around, he was the featured guest and Bobby "Blue" Bland did a cameo spot.
B.B. King brought his band back with him to do a live version of his 1973 hit "I Like to Live the Love." Midway in the show, Bland joined King as Cornelius again praised their Together For the First Time album. He mentioned that a critic who gave a negative review of the album didn't know what he was listening to and added, "People shouldn't write about things they don't understand." After the interview, King and Bland did a duet of their blues hits.
King closed the show with "The Thrill is Gone."
Blues will always be an important part of the music landscape as a whole. The genre and its artists influenced generations for many years to come. As mentioned earlier, if there was no blues, there would be no rap. Indeed, B.B. King is, without a doubt, one of the all-time "original rappers."

In North America, flannelette, commonly referred to as flannel, was commonly thought to be the fabric of woodsmen, lumberjacks, tough men, and farmers. Today it is commonly used for children's winter pyjamas as well as pyjama pants for adults. It is good at keeping warmth in, so often is favored among blue collar workers in cold environments. Flannel has been thought by some to be a fashion statement. Flannelette is a light, napped cotton the texture of flannel. The weft is generally coarser than the warp. The flannel-like appearance is created by creating a nap from the weft; scratching it and raising it up. Flannelette can either have long or short nap, and can be napped on only one or two sides. It comes in many colours, both solid and patterned. Flannel Shirts are also known as men's cotton plaid flannel, plaid long sleeve shirt, quilted heavyweight shirts, checkered lumberjack jackets, checked sleeve coats, etc. Flannel Shirts are commonly misspelled as flannelshirts, mens flanel tops, flannell longcoats, etc.

Fall River Herald News: Mass. students miss out on Native American history
Understanding the complexity our country's Native American past requires knowing U.S. history. Preferring softer 21st century skills like "media awareness" and "systems thinking" to academics, the Patrick administration in 2009 postponed a requirement, starting with the class of 2012, that Massachusetts public school students pass a U.S. history MCAS test to graduate from high school.

Getting an aspiring pedal pusher on his or her own rig usually starts with the tricycle and progresses to a child's bike with training wheels. The sidewalk, driveway or the soft grass of the backyard are safe places to get started. Be patient and creative in your attempts to shed training wheels. Hard-packed sand or dirt can be perfect launch pads for the first solo attempt. Whatever happens, be encouraging…riding a bike is a major milestone for any child!
Even if your babies can't yet ride themselves, you can still introduce them to the joy of cycling while getting a workout for yourself. Two options dominate the offerings for carrying very young children: trailers and child seats.
Tots can ride along as soon as they are old enough to: sit up on their own, fit a child's helmet and not be upset by any jarring motions of a bike or trailer. Most pediatricians suggest this is at least 12 months of age, but some parents prefer 18 months.
TRAILERS Bike trailers provide a safe, efficient and lasting way to include young children in family bike adventures. They mount to the rear of an adult bike, allowing the pint-sized passengers to take in the scenery (or sleep, as most eventually do). Most have room for multiple children and the stuff that usually goes with them. Cloth or plastic flaps shield passengers from road debris and rain. Many trailers also convert to strollers by attaching a small wheel to the front. Trailers do require a wider turning radius, so a little practice is essential.
These lightweight seats are usually formed of plastic, and mount to the back of an adult bicycle's frame. Child seats are great for smaller children (weighing less than 35 lbs.), and keep them close for good communication. Most have shields to protect little feet from moving wheels. Models vary by amount of padding, straps, weight and max load limits.
Balance bikes, or "scoot" bikes are a new way to teach basic balance and bike handling skills to children. These are essentially fully-functioning bicycles, with the exception of a drivetrain. They allow children to learn to ride a real bicycle, without the anxiety that can come with pedaling and the speed it produces. Boys and girls just sit on the saddle and push with their feet to propel themselves along. Once they gain confidence and a little momentum, they can lift their feet off the ground and start cruising. This method greatly eases the transition to a traditional bike.
Once a child has mastered riding with or without training wheels, he or she may be ready for a "third wheel" type of bike. This is a kid-sized "half bike" that attaches to and trails behind an adult's bike. This allows kids who aren't quite ready to ride on their own but want to come along for a ride at speeds you are both comfortable with. The adult provides the primary balance, while the child can choose to pedal or not. (Funny how they never choose to pedal up hills!) These bikes are great for teaching kids about teamwork, basic bike handling skills and the rules of the road.
Safety and visibility are priority one when cycling with the family. Every family member should wear a properly fitted helmet, even those riding in trailers. Ensure that you are seen by wearing bright clothing and using flags. Choose safe routes such as neighborhood bike routes, paths and trails. Remember that many kids' bikes do not have gears or great brakes, so save the hills for your personal rides. When in doubt about mixing kids and traffic, choose the sidewalk or pick another route. Carry food and drinks to keep little muscles going and little minds motivated.
Getting the family out on the road may involve very different levels of ability. One way to maintain family bliss is to let more experienced riders head out with an adult before or after the main ride to burn off excess energy. This way, the main ride can have a negotiated "family speed", which is enjoyable to all. Mix up your routes and ride to places you might not normally drive to in a car. And, bring the bikes along for family vacations. Today's car racks are more secure and easier to use than ever, enabling any road trip to become a family biking adventure.

Living in South Florida we get our fair share of rain and these are the best wet weather tire I have ever owned. The wet handling characteristics are excellent, my traction control system would kick in on spirited starts with the stock tires now with the Continental Extreme Contact DW's the traction control system has not kick in at all. I've used the tires in two auto-crosses (F-stock class) and one track day, so far, and while they are probably not the best tire out there for these purposes they did do a fairly good job, better for track days than auto-crosses (but tire pressure might not have been right for the AX). Since I don't have two sets of rims I wanted a tire that I could use on the track but still have a good ride and wear on the street. So far I think I got what I wanted and I am extremely pleased with these tires. The wear rating is a little higher than most other tires in this class and the price was less so I think this was a good all around choice of tire for what I use them for. I definitely will buy another set when the time comes.

I read with great interest Kevin Reilly's letter about never forgetting World War II. My deceased husband landed on Utah Beach in Normandy on D-Day, and in June 1994, we traveled to France for the 50th anniversary of D-Day. A neighbor's teenage son asked where we were going on vacation, and I replied "to France for the 50th anniversary of D-Day." The young man, a student at a very prestigious local private school, said "What is D-Day?"
I was shocked, and suggested he ask his parents or his history teacher. In the 19 years since that encounter, I have prayed that someone explained this to him. Teacher friends have told me that there is too much history to be taught and many things are not covered in school. How sad not to know about World War II.
I am a charter member of the National WWII Museum and have a brick for my husband. I believe the museum is the greatest tribute possible to our veterans. My parents were both World War I veterans, and my patriotic roots run deep. I am so happy to hear about the involvement of high school students with the museum — we must teach them in every way we can. Thank you, Mr. Reilly, for your work on this project.

Indonesia cuts jail term of Australian drug smuggler
BALI -- A court official says an Australian woman imprisoned in Indonesia has been granted a five-year remission on her 20-year drug smuggling sentence.
Former beauty student Schapelle Leigh Corby was convicted in 2005 of smuggling marijuana onto the resort island of Bali. Her case triggered intense interest in Australia, where many people believe she's innocent.
Prisoners in Indonesia are granted remissions two or three times a year, usually for good behavior. It's unclear — with several two-year cuts already granted — when exactly Corby will be eligible for parole.

I agree with Sonny. I am a RN, I work in Medical ICU, in a Level 1 trauma center. Anyways, I asked for a tour of the medical facility on a RCCL ship. I don't remember which ship it was.
They had 2 or 3 rooms, one of them was there ICU room. They had a ventilator, (breathing machine), they are able to do basic blood work, xrays. What really impressed me, is they can also do blood transfusions. They said they keep a few units for a real emergency. They said most of there "emergencies" where diabetic, GI and cardiac in nature. The RNs on this ship were from England. Britain has VERY competent RNs. They are HIGHLY skilled. You are in good hands with them. I am sure the MDs would be just as competent, I did not meet the Dr on the ship, just the RNs. My mom was seen in a ship doctors office on Princess, to rule out a heartattack. They did rule it out. She told me what they did, I don't remember now, but I do remember I thought it was appropriate. I would feel very safe, taking a diabetic family member on a cruise. If she is very brittle, maybe consider taking out trip insurance. Hope this helps. Enjoy your first cruise.

You might find me picking book at the classic literature, fiction or horror section of a bookstore. Neil Gaiman and Stephen King books are my fairy tales growing up. I also kept comics of Betty and Veronica, Archie and Friends, and Marvel.
Sometimes my table often is messed up with watercolors, oil pastels, brushes and pencils. I have always wanted to study calligraphy. And I take too many portraits of other people, very few of my own, plenty of landscapes and moments I wish to last. But writing will always be my first love.
Wednesday Addams is never complete without her Marie Antoinette doll. I have a wonderful doll named Kendra. I got her pagan name from a witch character and my favorite children's book. We love anything that sparkles, from fairy lights, fireworks to jack o lanterns.
I am a self-confessed introvert who prefers to spend time with my two dogs or read books. But to get me into a conversation please open up about films, politics, photography, pets or gardening. And oh, I have a very poor eyesight for two years now and pardon me if I never get to so say hi first.

Headphones Cause Pedestrian Injuries to Triple Over a 6-Year Period

These accidents were due to both being distracted by their devices and blocking the sounds of the warning systems with their headphones
The fact that
wearing headphones
while navigating a city on foot can be dangerous seems pretty obvious, but the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore collaborated on a study to show exactly how dangerous the activity can be.
Richard Lichenstein, M.D., lead author of the study and associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and director of pediatric emergency medicine research at the University of Maryland Medical Center, said that injuries to pedestrians who are wearing headphones have tripled in six years.
"Everybody is aware of the risk of cell phones and texting in automobiles, but I see more and more teens distracted with the latest devices and headphones in their ears," said Lichenstein. "Unfortunately, as we make more and more enticing devices, the risk of injury from distraction and blocking out other sounds increases."
Lichenstein and his team conducted the study by taking cases where headphones were involved in serious pedestrian injuries/fatalities from car or train crashes from 2004-2011 reports from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, Westlaw Campus Research databases and Google News Archives. Lichenstein's team reviewed a total of 116 cases during that time period.
According to the study's results, 68 percent of pedestrians injured or killed due to wearing headphones were male, and 67 percent were under the age of 30. About 55 percent of the vehicles involved in the headphone-related accidents were trains, and 29 percent of the vehicles involved used a horn or other type of audible warning system to let the pedestrians know they were there. In addition, nearly three-quarters of the headphone-related injuries were fatal.
Lichenstein said these accidents were due to both
being distracted by their devices
and blocking the sounds of the warning systems with their headphones, which Lichenstein called sensory deprivation.

Hope everyone had a great Earth Day yesterday! Today is my one year Blogaversary! I cannot believe one blogging year has passed me by already. It went so fast. I knew I would stick to it (as I have seen several come and go in such a short time), but I honestly did not foresee that DIY Inspired would succeed so quickly. I guess that would be "success" in my own terms.
Today, one year after my first published post, I have experience with multiple guest authors, sponsors, good and bad product reviews, over 2000 reader emails and comments, 266 published posts, 2 awards, 3 nominations, and most importantly thousands of loyal followers.
I thought I'd celebrate it by recapping my most popular blog posts of the year… kind of like my very own DIY Inspired awards and honorable mentions.
The winners of each category were chosen based on a combination of Facebook and Pintrest Social Media shares, website analytics, and email inquiries.

If you're like me and have a more sallow undertone, reds can be tricky when making foundation. A few years ago I tried adding Mursaski in place of some of my red oxides and WHOA! What a difference! Now all my foundations/concealers/finishing powders have this in varying degrees and match my coloring perfectly!
Red pigments are tricky when making sallow toned foundations. A few years ago I started adding this in place of some of my red oxides and WHOA! What a difference. Since then, adding Murasaki Violet has helped make all my foundations/concealers/finishing powders a perfect match!
Strong and vibrant pigment - great in lippies. Will be buying more before TKB runs out.
Finely ground, lush, warm-toned medium deep lilac pigment. The yellow undertone adds a brightness to this pigment that saves from having to add a lightener that could cool the shade unnecessarily. I added it straight from the bag into my translucent pigment base and was impressed with the results enough to order another pound- I just got this one. It may cost more than other basic pigments, but it can be used for eye and lip products unlike most of the blues making it more versatile. This shade also seems to blend out to a bright purple rose/pink shade on certain skin shades though it's still a straight warm purple. Fabulous for a bright lipstick for deep skintones and eye/face products for golden and neutral-warm skintones.
I bought this to create a couple shades of purple and it worked amazing. I was able to match a customer's eye shadows perfectly (they were very happy!) and then turned around and used it with Piccadilly Red to make more of a pink/red blush for beige skin. This color makes warmer tones with hint of pink to it. I recommend it for mixing purples, pinks, and reds. Thanks, TKB!
This color has a fantastic cool pink glow to it, which works well in violet tones. What surprised me was how versatile this color could be when mixed with complementary tones. I mix this with green apple to get a great funky mauve base for eyeshadows, and a bit of Aztec gold in addition creates a stunning rose gold color. Experiment with this one! It's absolutely worth it.

Long doubtful for Baggies
Shane Long has been given a 50-50 chance of being fit for West Brom's clash with Norwich, while Peter Odemwingie should be ready.
Last Updated: 06/09/11 3:38pm
Roy Hodgson has revealed that Shane Long has a 50 per cent chance of being fit for West Brom's clash with Norwich on Sunday, while Peter Odemwingie should be ready in time.
Long suffered a calf problem whilst on international duty with the Republic of Ireland last week and did not travel to Moscow with the rest of Giovanni Trapattoni's squad for Tuesday's match against Russia.
The injury is not serious but Baggies manager Hodgson admits he is in a race against time to be in contention for the weekend Premier League fixture at Carrow Road.
Hodgson is more confident that Odemwingie will be available, with the Nigerian striker recovering well from the knee problem that kept him out of the loss to Stoke.
Time will tell
"We think Peter is going to be okay," Hodgson told the club's official website. "With Shane, it's too early to say.
"It's a calf strain - not a pull or a completely damaged muscle - just the fibres.
"The medical staff are working on it at the moment but I think his chances are being put at 50-50 and only time will tell.
"It all depends on how quick a healer he is, really.
"With people who heal quickly, the time would be enough, and with people who heal a bit more slowly, the extra week might be needed."

What a day of poker! If you asked anyone in the media when we got here this morning if we thought the tournament would be down to its final nine players -- the November Nine -- before 11pm, we would have laughed and challenged you to put your whole bankroll on it. Yet here we are, just shy of 11pm, with the final nine players bagging and tagging for the night.
But that's getting slightly ahead of the action. We started today at noon with 27 players. Leo Margets, the sole woman in the field, was the first elimination just twenty minutes into the day. That seemed to set the tone for play, as players got their chips into the middle with glee. Before we finished the first level of play, three more players were eliminated, including the good-for-television Antonio Esfandiari.
All through the day, players continued to be eliminated at a rapid pace. We thought there would be mini-bubbles at 19 left, 16 left, and 13 left. In fact there were no such bubbles.
The big stacks did their jobs today, as Darvin Moon, Steven Begleiter and Billy Kopp all applied relentless pressure on the short stacks. It was unfortunate for Kopp that he ran a small flush into a bigger flush and went busto in 12th place, a classic elimination that is sure to haunt Kopp for a long time.
Of course there's one other player whom everyone was watching today. Some consider him to be the greatest player in the world; all were hoping he'd make the final table. Phil Ivey started off trending dangerously downwards, but he seemed to recognize what many other players did not -- the stacks were still relatively deep and the levels were still two-hours long. No need to panic. Ivey didn't panic, and as a result he secured a spot in the November Nine.
When Jordan Smith said "Good night, Moon" and exited in tenth place, the November Nine were determined. Here they are!
Seat 1: Darvin Moon - 58,930,000
Seat 2: James Akenhead - 6,800,000
Seat 3: Phil Ivey - 9,765,000
Seat 4: Kevin Schaffel - 12,390,000
Seat 5: Steven Begleiter - 29,885,000
Seat 6: Eric Buchman - 34,800,000
Seat 7: Joe Cada - 13,215,000
Seat 8: Antoine Saout - 9,500,000
Seat 9: Jeff Shulman - 19,580,000
Moon will be the chip leader for the next four months.
Many will argue that this is the most talented Main Event final table to have been assembled in years. They'll have almost four months to argue back and forth over which player they think has the best shot. The final table festivities will take place from November 7 - 10.
It has been our great pleasure to be your source of live updates during the 2009 WSOP. We hope you'll join us throughout the rest of the year as we cover major poker tournaments around the globe. Please stop back in November for what is sure to be an exciting conclusion to the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event.
Good night!

"Reaper": Episode 1, "Pilot"
"Reaper": Episode 1, "Pilot"
"I'm not a carjacker, Sam. I'm the devil!"
I could watch that "Reaper" clip of Ray Wise good-naturedly reassuring the character of Sam that no, no, he's not out to jack his car (though he would "if it were an Escalade!"). He's just the devil incarnate! Having already watched the pilot a few times, that scene never fails to make me chuckle.
Then again, most of this show makes me chuckle. Whether it's the writing, the acting, Kevin Smith's direction of the pilot or a magical combination of all these things, it totally worked — I'm hooked on this story of Sam the 21-year-old whose parents sold his soul to the devil. As I mentioned before, this premise seemed ridiculously stupid on paper (a bounty hunter for the devil who sucks up lost souls with a Dirt Devil?!), but in execution it somehow works really well.
You can check out my favorite lines and parts from this week's series premiere of "Reaper" and tell me what you thought in the comments if you
- Whoever chose Beck's "Devil's Haircut" as the song to start everything off in the beginning gets a major thumbs-up in my book. That was perfect.
- "The guy's 21, lives with his parents and wears an apron for a living. There's no 'happy' in that birthday, Dad." — Sam's brother Kyle
- I love that Sam only attended one month of college because "college made him sleepy."
- I can't seem to see Missy Peregrym as anyone besides the creepy shapeshifter Candice from "Heroes." It's hard to think of her as just an aw-shucks average gal who works at the Work Bench.
- Sock (Tyler Labine, who is very cool in person) reassures Sam's mother that he "would never kill a hooker in Vegas."
- Ray Wise is fantastic. I don't even know what else to say. He just is.
- Randomly, the devil loves hockey. Does that make hockey "the devil's sport"?
- "I would make my ass my letterhead." — Sock, thinking unclean thoughts about the copying machine
- The DMV actually is "hell on Earth."
- "Oh, that was such a tender moment. For real!" — The Devil, coming upon Sam and Andi's sweet moment
- "I have never been so attracted to a man before in my life. Okay, that's not what I meant." — Sock
Did you tune into this week's "Reaper"? What did you think?

Instead of photos this year it's video. Last year I took several photos of two of the Segways above in action. This year I had a really long conversation with the owner of the Segways – Kyle Feller. He stopped by here last year to make a comment in the photo article. We talked about his yellow 1975 Vanguard-Sebring Electric CitiCar, the Nissan LEAF, Tesla Motors, other electric cars and of course the Segway personal transporters.
A wide selection of electric cars from members of the St Louis Gateway Electric Vehicle Club are always present at the Earth Day Festival.
The little girl in the video was NOT part of the plan. I had waited a pretty long time for her and her Mom to start heading down the sidewalk. I only started filming after I thought they were on their way to explore other parts of the event. Unfortunately the little girl had other ideas. She wanted to hang out with the Segways.
Honestly I had tried to hold off recording. I had missed most of the chatter about private time and the explanation as to why she was squatting. Her Mom kept giving details to someone nearby. I never figured out who that was.
I was in a hurry and not feeling well. So once I started recording I didn't stop. Weather at the St. Louis Earth Day Festival is almost always flaky. I didn't want to get caught in the rain like last year. It was a run and gun type of day – I had certain things I wanted to record – then get back to our hotel and relax.
The St. Louis Earth Day Festival makes it very clear that visitors may be recorded and that this content may be put to use. I'm sure the Mom didn't expect herself or her daughter to end up being featured on the Internet.
I asked why the Segways weren't being ridden this year. I thought maybe event management had concerns about liability if someone in the crowd got bumped. Kyle let me know that wasn't the case. He was actually really cool and asked me if I wanted to take a ride. I politely declined even though I would have loved to take one for a spin. According to a sign at the St Louis Science Center – I'm pretty close to the weight limit for this cool transporter.
In the background you can see the green Ameren Chevy Volt, Mitsubishi i-MiEV and Nissan LEAF. You also see the privately owned silver LEAF – I had a conversation with it's owner when talking with Kyle. The orange Volkswagen Beetle is an electric conversion.

M.A.C. Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Reviews
Can't live without this!I have used numerous different powders from different brands and this is the BEST!! It provides more coverage than regular powders so if I don't have time for foundation, I can apply this and feel comfortable leaving the house. They have only a few shades, but they work on everyone! I have used this product on numerous skin tones and it always matches perfectly. My clients even come back ot me and ask what powder I used so they can get it too. — 8 years, 9 months agoItzastar | 2 reviews
Love it.It's a very light powder that is easy to apply and takes up about 2 min of your time. I use this with the kabuki brush if I want more coverage, but a large brush works just fine. It gives me that "effortless" look which I yearn... lol I only have to reapply it once throughout the day but a few more times during the summer. This product provides a very natural look. — 8 years, 9 months agolostinmusic | 5 reviews

My Hoily Grail FoundationI adore everything about this product. It gives me a glow and sucks up all the oily in my oily skin. In the winter time I can still wear it when my skin starts getting dry. A must have for any one who wears foundation. Try it you'll love it! — 8 years, 9 months agofashionprincess | 5 reviews
Great productI love this powder as its the only product I have to use on my face. No other products are required for that natural look. I love MAC and would recommend this product as the quality is great and covers up blemishes when the need arises. — 8 years, 10 months agojterts | 9 reviews
HG powder....with one annoyanceThis stuff is amazing. Exactly what I've been questing for! It provides a beautiful, natural finish that literally melts into your skin, allowing the natural texture to show through but providing excellent coverage. I have problems with an uneven skintone and was wearing liquid foundation to fix it, which was much more coverage than I need. Then, I discovered MSF and am hooked! Now, I just th...read morerow on some concealer over undereye circles and blemishes, buff the MSF on with a kabuki brush, and I'm flawless. My one complaint -- the compact has no mirror in it! This is a serious annoyance for someone like me, who likes to keep the purse size at a minimum, because now I have to carry both a powder compact AND a mirror. Mac should get on putting a mirror in the compact, because then it really WOULD be perfect. — 8 years, 12 months agoWhenInHell | 5 reviews

Mac Minerals are worth the Price!The first time I bought Mac Minerals I was surprised that this small compact lasted 6 whole months! I used it almost every day.

Overall, I thought that the packaging was nice, the product lasted for a long time, and it also stayed put and didn't melt, even when wearing it for many hours.

My Reasons for Reporting This

Mexican teams Tigres UANL and Monterrey enjoyed success in the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Champions League on Wednesday.
Tigres UANL – who are yet to taste defeat in nine Liga MX matches this season and top the table – won the first leg of their quarter-final against MLS outfit Seattle Sounders 1-0.
Both sides entered the game in contrasting form, with Seattle, who lost last season's MLS Cup final to the Los Angeles Galaxy, slumping to a 1-0 defeat against the Montreal Impact in their season opener on Saturday.
And the Americans were dominated by their opponents and perhaps lucky to only lose by one goal.
Tigres UANL had 60 percent of possession during the match and had seven shots on goal to just the three from their opponents.
Substitute Alan Pulido netted the only goal of the game, scoring with 16 minutes remaining for the hosts.
The day's other match saw Monterrey put one foot in the semi-finals with a 3-1 away win at Guatemalan side Xelaju.
Hiram Mier, Aldo de Nigris and Jesus Corona scored for the winners, to have them firmly in control ahead of next week's return.
The second legs for both quarter-finals will be played on March 12.

When I was pregnant with my first son Zach, some 14 years ago, I could've easily rattled off a list of adjectives describing what I expected motherhood to be like.
Rewarding. Tiring. Fulfilling. Stressful. Joyous. And it turns out that I was right about all of those things.
But one word I never connected with motherhood was "lonely." I couldn't imagine how being a mom could feel lonely until I became one and realized all too soon how totally isolating the experience could feel.
During Zach's infancy and toddlerhood, we rented a tiny, unwelcoming house on a street disconnected from other neighborhoods, where no other families with small children lived. We attended a church where most of the congregation was older than we, people who were busy with teenagers or empty nests and who had no desire to spend time with a rambunctious toddler and his mother while his father worked 10 hours a day in Atlanta and drilled frequently with the National Guard.
During those years, our family only had one vehicle as well, which my husband needed for his long daily commute. There were many, far too many, long days and weekends when it was just Zach and I alone in that dark little house. And though the Internet provided some connection with other moms, this was well before the blessing of high-speed Internet service. All we had was dial-up, and sometimes it took half an hour to download a webpage - not exactly helpful when your child kept you up crying all night and you only wanted to hear from somebody who just experienced that too.
Yeah, I learned a whole new meaning of the word "lonely" during that stage of life. How I wish I'd have known about MOPS back then.
Mothers of Pre-Schoolers, or MOPS, is an international organization devoted to the needs of moms. Whether a woman has one child, or a dozen, all mothers are welcomed, valued and accepted regardless of race, faith, politics, education or marital status. For more information about MOPS, please visit their website at www.mops.org. MOPS of Conyers is the only group located in Rockdale or Newton counties, and we meet on the third Tuesday of each month.
This year, I decided that I love MOPS enough to be on the steering team, so I'd like to personally invite you to join us this Tuesday, Sept. 20, at Rockdale Alliance Church on Old Salem Road. Childcare check-in begins at 9:15 and the meeting itself runs from 9:30 until 11:30. There's no fee to come to our meetings, though you can join MOPS officially later, if desired, for a very small donation.
The content of each gathering varies a bit, but the three key ingredients of a good party are present every time: fun, food and fellowship. I might be biased, but I think the women in our group are particularly kind and welcoming. We try to get together at other times as well, just to chat at the park while the kids play, or at another casual, inexpensive outing between monthly meetings.
Even in this age of instant Internet connections, nothing can or ever will replace the value of one-on-one contact with other people living the same experiences as you at the same time. You can't replicate a play date online for your children, either.
We need each other. As much as I love my computer, my Facebook, and to a lesser degree, Twitter - I need my real-life connections even more. And I am a firm believer that a woman can never have too many friends. So if you have kids under the age of six, come join us, and tell others about our local MOPS group. Because if I'd have known about MOPS a dozen years ago, perhaps "loneliness" would still be a word I didn't readily associate with motherhood.

Specter's 'reluctant' vote helped firm with ties to his wife
On Oct. 1, after a critical vote on a $700 billion financial industry bailout package, Sen. Arlen Specter issued a two-paragraph statement explaining why he "reluctantly" voted, along with 73 colleagues, for the measure.
Before the year was over, a Delaware-based bank holding company that counts the senator's wife as a nearly decade-long director got a $45.2 million infusion from the bill.
The financial firm was Bancorp Inc., with operations in Delaware and Pennsylvania. Joan Specter has been a director of the firm or its predecessors since 1999, according to company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Asked Tuesday for comment, Specter spokeswoman Kate Kelly issued a brief statement denying that the senator had any role in securing money for the financial institution.
"Arlen Specter did not lobby TARP (the Treasury Department) or anyone else on behalf of Bancorp. The Treasury Department made the awards based on its own criteria," she wrote in an e-mail.
She noted that Specter, a Republican, later voted against releasing an additional $350 billion to Treasury "because of the program's ineffectiveness and lack of oversight/transparency."
Kelly said Bancorp did not contact or lobby Specter.
A Bancorp recent filing with the SEC shows that Joan Specter, a former Philadelphia City Council member, was paid $32,500 during the past year as an outside director. She holds options on 5,374 shares of stock in Bancorp, a company that reported assets of $1.83 billion as of Dec. 31. The filing says she has been a member of the bank's compensation and nomination and governance committees.
She could not be reached for comment.
In his Oct. 1 statement, Specter said he voted for the measure, but reluctantly, "because of the severe risk that there might be a very enormous economic downturn, which could have very serious effects."
"I know that it is politically unpopular because of the failure of regulators. Sometimes — even though it is politically unpopular — you just have to bite the bullet and do what is necessary for the future of the economy."
Later that month, in appearances at a town hall meeting and other events, the senior Pennsylvania senator acknowledged he sensed anger from his constituents, who were "madder than hell" that the financial community was getting a bailout after taking enormous risks.
"People in Pennsylvania are at the boiling point," he told reporters in Lancaster not long after the vote.
Financial disclosure statements filed by Specter list his wife's involvement with Bancorp in some but not all years since 1999 when, according to SEC filimgs, she joined the bank. For example, Bancorp is not listed on his disclosure statements for 2003 or 2002, but is disclosed for 2001 and 2004.
According to an SEC filing, Bancorp entered into a letter of agreement Dec. 12 with the Treasury under the provisions of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Under that agreement, the bank sold 45,220 shares of its stock to the Treasury for a cash infusion of $45.22 million.
Because of restrictions imposed by the bailout plan, Bancorp was required to amend its employment agreement with its chief executive, Betsy Z. Cohen, records show. Among other changes, the amended agreement reduces Cohen's severance and retirement benefits.
Prior to the formation of Bancorp, which describes itself as a branchless Internet bank, Cohen and Joan Specter were affilated with JeffBank or Jefferson Bank.
Campaign finance reports show Cohen and other bank executives donated $6,250 to Specter's campaign committee.
The Treasury Web site lists hundreds of financial institutions across the country that participated in the capital infusion program. The $700 billion package included a separate program under which the government was authorized to purchase so-called troubled assets.
In a story published this week, USA Today reported that a few other members of Congress or their spouses, including Sen. Daniel Inouye, a Hawaii Democrat, owned stock in or were employed by companies that benefited from the bill.
In its latest financial report, Bancorp reported net losses of $877,000 to common shareholders for the quarter ending Dec. 31. Cohen blamed the "weakening economy and illiquidity in the market for certain securities" for a net charge of $1.9 million after taxes to the bank's securities portfolio in that quarter.

Yes, it seems dangerous, but that's part of the thrill. Sometimes you have to stand at the edge, take that step and risk it all.
I'm talking, of course, about Jenga, the action packed brick-stacking game for ages whatever-and-up that's been played since its creation during Biblical times (probably). YouTuber April Jennifer Choi hit upon the novel idea of playing the game with a whip instead of her own actual hands like a normal, rational person, and managed to nail it on her first try.
God, what a rush it must be.
Check out her swift whip action in the videos below.

Fir Street closes Aug. 18 for Snoqualmie infrastructure project
The city of Snoqualmie will close Southeast Fir Street, between Railroad Ave Southeast and Maple Ave Southeast, starting at 7 a.m., Monday, Aug. 18. The street will be closed round-the-clock while crews dig a joint utility trench and install sanitary sewer and water mains, storm drainage, and steel casings under the railroad tracks.
During the closure, local access will be provided, but there will be no on-street parking on Fir Street between Railroad Avenue Southeast (S.R. 202) and Maple Avenue Southeast. The southern part of the parking area between Fir and Northern Streets (closer to Fir Street) will be used for storing equipment and material and so not available for parking. The north side, closer to Northern Street, will be available for parking as usual.
Signs will be posted to reroute Fir Street traffic onto King or River Streets.For more information, contact project inspector Vince Kiley at (253) 208-4766.

MELBOURNE (Jul. 27)
A number of large Australian newspapers have opened a campaign to show the dangers of a preponderance of alien over British immigrants, while, at the same time, political and professional circles are campaigning against a relaxation of immigration requirements.
Premier Smith of Queensland is demanding that the Commonwealth Government investigate the alleged repeated use of the same landing money by successive immigrants. All 600 medical students at Melbourne university have decided to petition the Federal Government to refuse visas to Austrian refugee physicians.
Under the caption, "Alien Migration Called Menace," The Melbourne Herald, which usually reports the Federal Government's views, quotes unionists and social workers as stating that aliens arriving in victoria from South and Central Europe in the past year are menacing Australian working and living standards.
The Herald editorially demands an investigation into the administration of immigration laws, asserting that admission should not be easy for those likely to affect Australian standards and to become public charges, while the Sydney Bulletin declares that "Australia is being pressed, openly and subtly, to take more foreign Jews than it can accommodate and assimilate," and warns in the strongest terms that unrestricted Jewish immigration from Europe would mean the herding of brooding aliens into the cities.

Soundcraft have unveiled another addition to the rapidly growing new Soundcraft family, the multi-format low-cost EPM mixers.
The emphasis with the Soundcraft EPM is very firmly on quality build and audio performance, with an easy to understand control surface uncluttered by unnecessary facilities, and Soundcraft have brought new technologies and ideas to this very cost-effective range. Surface mount technology is used throughout, using close-tolerance components for high accuracy and repeatable settings for EQ and gain controls. The highly-transparent GB30 Mic amp (designed by Graham Blyth for the company's 30th anniversary, and also used on the larger LX7ii and GB Series consoles) features high-resolution adjustment over a wide gain range of 55dB, and provides a stunning +22dB headroom through the console. True professional 48-volt phantom power caters for condenser microphones of all types.
A unique feature of the signal monitoring is the PEAK led. This uses multipoint signal take-offs to watch for overload in several parts of the channel strip, and the led lights more brightly as the signal approaches the peak point. For smooth and accurate channel control, the EPM has 60mm high quality faders as used on other Soundcraft desks. The monitor output and headphone output work in parallel so that performers can still listen on phones while an engineer is listening on studio monitors.
The Soundcraft EPM will find itself in many applications including live music, recording, houses of worship and multi-speaker installations.
