Drinking too much because it was his brother's funeral the next day, a Falmouth man was arrested as a drink driver after police had been alerted to his apparent drunken behaviour before getting into a car.
Sean Williams, aged 31, of Oakland Park, pleaded guilty at Truro Magistrates' Court to drink driving on March 17 when he tested at 71 mcg, more than twice the legal limit.
Gail Hawkley, for the CPS, said a police officer had been warned by staff at Asda in Penryn that he might be drunk after he had gone there to buy alcohol at 11.40pm.
The officer saw him drive away from the store and put on sirens and blue lights on the police car to stop him. He drove on for some way before finally coming to a standstill, where he was deemed drunk and failed a roadside breath test.
Williams told the magistrates he had been depressed that night because it was his brother's funeral the next day, and had drunk too much.
"It was totally out of character and it won't ever happen again," he said, adding that he had had a clean licence since he was 17.
Williams was fined £115 and £105 costs and surcharge and banned from driving for 18 months.

A proposal in the pending state budget would slash the interest rate paid on legal judgments awarded in discrimination cases, cases where the plaintiffs are typically victims of racial bias, wrongful firings and discriminatory landlords.
Interest paid on judgments is designed to compensate victims for the time they spend waiting for monetary awards won in litigation. It also has the practical effect of encouraging opposing parties to resolve disputes quickly and discouraging losing litigants from filing frivolous appeals, since interest can dramatically increase the size of an award.
The interest paid on discrimination judgments is now set by state statute at 12 percent. But under the terms of the proposal, it would be tied to the one-year treasury yield, an amount that is currently about five percent and has dipped much lower in recent years. Other types of judgments would continue to accrue 12 percent interest.
The original proposal, by Attorney General Martha Coakley, applied only to public employers -- such as municipalities, housing authorities and other government agencies -- and was meant to reduce the burden on taxpayer-funded budgets. It was amended to include private employers by state Sen. Steven A. Baddour, D-Methuen, and it could apply to pending cases as well as future ones.
MBA Labor and Employment Section Council member Bryan Decker, Sandulli Grace PC, provided comment regarding this proposal to MBA e-Journal. "This proposal applies only in situations where an employer has been found to discriminate. Interest on a judgment is an incentive not to file frivolous appeals and to compensate the plaintiff for the fact they didn't have use of the money. To say we will pay less interest to someone discriminated against than to a company whose contract was violated is just bad public policy," said Decker.
He said that the clear intent of chapter 151B and the anti-discrimination laws is to eradicate workplace discrimination. "Treating discrimination cases less favorably than other cases undermines that intent."
Nor does he care for the original Coakley proposal. Although 80 percent of Decker's practice is representing public employees and public employee unions, he says he is not insensitive to the fiscal concerns of public employers. "But that doesn't undermine the argument that taxpayers shouldn't save money by reducing the burden on public entity discriminators. They should not be held to a lower standard than those who discriminate in the private sector."
The MBA opposes this state budget proposal.

Back to school and there's a pip in everyone's step on the Boston University campus. However, this new groove has little to do with the painful, never-ending homework and countless hours that will be lost in the library this semester; but it has everything to do with the new threads acquired over winter break.
With a new semester comes new experiences and new endeavors to sport the latest additions to our Fashionista temple, better known as the closet. Santa went to town during the holiday season, and we're definitely not complaining.
Forget about color this winter, and fall in love with everything black and white. Monochromatic accessories bring freshness to jewel-toned holiday dresses or casual jeans and a sweater.
Our Fashionista takes the trend to the pavement in a black and white tortoise shell pattern. Embracing the contrasting colors in a great round shape, the Illesteva Leonard Dark Horn sunglasses were hard to miss on Boston University's main artery, Commonwealth Avenue.
Especially loving the metallic Dr. Martens to finish off the ensemble, our Fashionista works the sidewalk as a catwalk. Utilizing this new color pallet will feel like a breath of fresh air after the abundance of textures and colors of the holiday season – which, not to mention, flatter any body type.
Spotted: Black and white trending brought the ready to wear collection by rag & bone together this spring. The always-tailored and refined brand used the opposing colors this season to show the boundaries it pushed with shape. The established line showed black and whites in '90s cuts that will stay timeless.

Quote:Its not water weight - that would give you fluctuating readings, and if you were consistently short 14lbs of body water, you would probably be dead, not complaining Easy way to confirm this is to check the colour of your urine. If its dark (anywhere from Iron Bru to black tea), you are dehydrated. If its light yellow or clear, then you are fine.If you have lost 14lbs in 3 weeks, then you are in starvation mode. No way can you lose more than a couple of lbs per week without catabolising muscle tissue. I notice that your recent posts have related to oestrogen blockers and pro-hormones. Am I right in thinking that you have been restricting your eating and trying to use these things to prevent muscle loss?If so, welcome to the world of BS supplements.If not, then it doesnt matter- either your 1800 cals is not enough to cope with your physical requirements (whats your training regime these days?), or they are nutritionaly defficient/unbalanced.Of course the other possibility is that your scales are faulty.Home BF scales are notoriously temperamental, and electrostatic testing has strict protocols to get an accurate reading anyway.Follow these steps to maximise consistency in readings.1. Put new batteries in scales2. Keep scales on the same hard surface, in a constant temperature3. only use them once a week, on the same day of the week, at the same time of the day, wearing the exact same clothes (or lack of them).4. personal protocols: No food or caffeine for 2 hours before test. water only up until 1 hour before test.Nothing at all in hour before test. Empty bowels before test. Having done all that, the readings still wont be accurate, but they will be comparable test to test.

The Tokyo High Court on Tuesday sentenced serial rapist Joji Obara to life in prison for kidnapping Briton Lucie Blackman and mutilating her corpse eight years ago, after a lower court acquitted him of the charges.
The high court also upheld the Tokyo District Court's life sentence for Obara, 56, for nine other rape cases, including that of an Australian woman who died from an overdose of sleeping drugs Obara slipped her before the assault.
Dressed in a dark suit and brown-framed glasses, Obara nervously wiped his face with a blue handkerchief before the judge read out the 1 1/2-hour decision. As the ruling was being announced, Obara stared at the floor and remained motionless.
Obara was charged with six cases of rape, two cases of rape resulting in bodily injury, and rape resulting in the death of Australian hostess Carita Ridgway.
In the Blackman case, he was charged with kidnapping with intent to rape, attempted rape, and damaging and disposing of a body. He was not charged with murder or manslaughter, however, due to lack of evidence.
Prosecutors demanded a life term.
Presiding Judge Hiroshi Kadono said that while the court couldn't find direct evidence that Obara raped Blackman, there was enough circumstantial evidence to conclude he abducted the 21-year-old from her residence in Shibuya Ward with the intention of drugging and raping her in July 2000.
The court also said that there was enough evidence to believe that Blackman died for some reason after Obara drugged her in his condominium in Zushi, Kanagawa Prefecture, and that he dismembered her with a chain saw and buried her body parts in a cave near another condo he owned on the Miura coastline.
But the court said it was unable to determine exactly where Obara dismembered her corpse, except that it was in the vicinity of his condo.
The court also rejected Obara's appeal in the Ridgway case and determined her death was caused by the chloroform Obara forced her to inhale, which caused her to die from fulminant hepatitis in 1992.
Afterward, Ridgway's family issued a statement saying they welcomed the ruling.
"It is hoped that this finally brings an end to a process that began over eight years ago. The process has been prolonged because Obara refused to accept his guilt and has had access to significant financial resources which he used to fund his attempts to escape justice," they said.
In April 2007, the Tokyo District Court sentenced Obara to life in prison for a string of nine rapes between 1992 and 2000, including Ridgway's.
But the court acquitted him of all charges in the Blackman case, ruling that the circumstantial evidence linking him to her dismemberment and burial was not convincing enough to link him directly to her death.
Although the evidence included some 200 videotapes showing Obara engaging in sexual acts with his victims, Blackman was not among them, and the court said other evidence could not prove Obara was involved in any way with Blackman.
During appeal sessions that began in March, prosecutors said there was sufficient evidence showing Obara was involved in the Briton's death.
Blackman's dismembered corpse was found in February 2001 in a Miura cave near one of his condos. The prosecution argued that Obara raped her at his Zushi condo several kilometers away.
Prosecutors said he bought a chain saw shortly after the ex-British Airways flight attendant vanished in July 2000.

Can We Make Sense Out of the Colorado Tragedy?
When bad (tragic) things happen to good (innocent) people, a barrage of questions and doubts are always unleashed. Until just a few days ago, a movie theater was considered a safe harbor where we could escape our problems for a couple of hours and join the likes of James Bond, Indiana Jones, or more recently, Harry Potter. History even bears this out. When notorious bank robber John Dillinger sought a refuge back in 1934, he went to the movies. Just minutes after he watched Clark Gable go to the electric chair in MANHATTAN MELODRAMA, he stepped out of the Biograph Theater in Chicago where the police were waiting for him and promptly gunned him down. In 1963, when Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated JFK, then gun downed a police officer who stopped to question him, Oswald sought refuge in a Dallas movie theater where he was found and arrested. But as of last Friday, going to the movies has acquired a new dimension as risky behavior.
There are many questions that may or may not be answered in the months ahead concerning the motives of the gunman, a former PhD. candidate in Neuroscience. Clearly, this James Holmes was not some ragtag malcontent or nutjob. The reason for his motives, if they are ever known, may be more startling than the current conventional wisdom ascribing his actions to some form of insanity. If this diagnosis holds up, many of us may find it more comforting than the alternative: that he is quite sane and acted out of pure evil. A lot of us will find this conclusion much more troubling because we live in a world that tells us that evil is just an invention by the same people who invented the devil - you know, he's that funny looking guy in the red longjohns. People might do things that are illegal or unethical, but to do something because it is evil? Nah. Even the characters in THE GODFATHER movies didn't think of themselves or their actions as evil. They were just taking care of "business." They might get arrested because they broke the law, but not because they committed evil.
There was a time when Man's Law and God's Law ran parallel paths. Back in a simpler time what was immoral was also illegal, and vice versa. And everybody seemed to understand why. Then we got into pyschoanalysis, which great for identifying symptoms but has not been helpful in identifying their cause. Scientists couldn't quantify this thing called Evil and so they eventually dismissed it. That was very convenient - evil can't be measured or weighed, so objectively speaking how can such an intangible thing exist? Our popular culture bought into that and we can see it in our movies. Ever watch James Cagney in his breakthrough film, PUBLIC ENEMY (1931)? [Note to non-film buffs: this movie is on dvd and can be streamed too]. Cagney became a big shot gangster for no other reason than that he hung out with bad guys as a kid. He grew up to be a guy who was just no good - simple as that. Almost two decades later, Cagney revisited his gangster character in WHITE HEAT (1949) but by then his criminal, indeed homicidal, habits were ascribed to an Oedipus-type mother fixation. Evil had nothing to do with.
This brings us to the horrific tragedy of last Friday in an Aurora, Colorado movie theater. Already we are hearing, not that evil really does exist, but if the next world has anything to do with it, it's God that's the problem. The observation is simply stated as, "If God exists, why does He allow such terrible things to happen?" A variation on this question is, "If God loves us and cares about us, why does He allow such terrible things to happen?" Both of these are "quick questions" that presume a quick answer. Failing that, the questions become statements of fact. Of course, we know that entire books have been written in response to these questions but our "Instant" society demands a quick answer to a quick question - not a book or even a sermon.
Frankly, this has bothered me for a long time. Professionals know that a quick question can in fact raise a variety of complex issues that defy a quick answer. As a lawyer, I am asked quick questions all the time. I've learned from experience that my best "quick answer" is to explain how the question is excellent because it adroitly raises some profound issues that require a detailed response. You can't insult anybody by telling them that they've asked a terrific question. So when a tragedy like Colorado happens, we should expect that a populist comment will ask how God can let this happen.
It finally dawned on me that this profound question can be given a quick answer – a very quick answer in the form of another quick question. My answer has an edge to it but so does the question. My reply goes like this: Where did you get the idea that God's job is to stop bad things from happening on earth? It's true. There's nothing in the Bible, or in oral tradition, that even suggests that God is supposed to protect us from catastrophes, whether natural or man-made. The New Testament even makes the point that Jesus will be with us through our crises and troubles, not that He will shelter us from them. So how did this impression gain currency? My guess – and it's only a guess – is that people like to invent a version of God that works for them, and then convey their imaginary god to others. If you don't believe in God, then you'll never ask this question in the first place. But for some believers and for those who want to believe in God, this concept of God as our protector can be very seductive but you can't criticize something that was never promised.
A better question might be: since God is all powerful, then why doesn't He want to stop these bad things? But there has always been a quick answer to this one: God gave us all the gift of free will – even most governments don't grant their citizens free will, but God does. And when people have free will, God will not intervene to stop those who misuse it. Yes, there will be consequences, aka Hell, but remember that God doesn't SEND anybody to Hell, we send ourselves there based on our use of free will. Perhaps the most chilling outcome of the Aurora tragedy would be a finding that James Holmes was sane and used his free will for evil to destroy so many innocent lives. God had nothing to do with it.
NOTE: I've published a modest volume dealing with this issue and related questions titled, GOD EXISTS - HE TOLD ME SO HIMSELF: WHY PEOPLE BELIEVE IN GOD BUT NOT IN RELIGION. While this book is available in paperback and as a Kindle/Nook ebook, I'd be happy to send a pdf of this book w/o charge to anybody who requests it.

8 Day Exotic Eastern Caribbean: Our Best Cruise Yet!: Carnival Freedom Cruise Review by Lovefuninthesun
Overall Member Rating
8 Day Exotic Eastern Caribbean: Our Best Cruise Yet!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
We arrive at Port Everglades around 11:30, and found the check-in process quite efficient, and short lines. We were onboard by 12:00, and headed to the area above the buffet for our lunch of fish and chips -- and they were yummy! By the time we were finished with lunch, our cabin was ready.
We were in an interior cabin, on the forward lido deck, a great location! Our cabin was immaculate, and there was plenty of room for the two of us. Our cabin steward and his team were very pleasant and attentive throughout.
For dinner we were in the Chic Dining Room, late seating by choice. The food was scrumptious, and our head waiter and assistants were awesome! The food arrived timely and was always appropriately hot/cold. We ate in the Sun King More Steak House one night for a new experience and it was truly memorable! For lunches we ate at the grills or in the Fish and Chips restaurant. We ate several breakfasts in the MDR since we like a relaxed breakfast, and it was excellent each time. We also did a couple of breakfast buffets on port days -- buffets are not our thing, but it was OK. We also did room service one morning and were pleased that our tray came precisely on time.
We purchased a wine package on embarkation day -- we chose the premium package which came to $193 including gratuity. There were 10 wine selections in that package -- each of the wines we tried was very good. We also each carried on one bottle of wine, which we took to the MDR with us on our last two nights; they graciously opened and served our wine, and never even charged us a corkage fee.
Entertainment was a mixed bag in our opinion. The shows were very enjoyable, especially the Beatles tribute show. The late night adult comedy shows were very entertaining. We missed having the string trio in the main lobby -- we always had enjoyed a pre-dinner drink there. This time they had a vocal duo who wasn't really that good, and the music was a lot of country and oldies that were not really to our taste -- but it was fun watching some of the passengers dance. Our real beef was the "music" by the pool -- no live steel band that we always enjoyed before, but instead a disc jockey who played LOUD, LOUD, LOUD blaring club "music" non-stop, a constant assault on our ears. We couldn't even enjoy the main pool because it was so annoying -- we had to escape to the deck over the aft pool.
Speaking of the pool -- we really didn't see any big difference with the anti-chair-hogging efforts. Every chair was claimed by towels, etc most of the day, and I never saw one single item removed by staff despite no one in the chair for a long time. Even though we got out to the pool by 9:30 am we never could score a chair by the aft pool, but had to go several decks up and make our own little area.
Our only other complaint was the cigarette smoke, but I don't see a fix for that if we cruise Carnival, because they do allow smoking. The casino was basically off-limits to us as I have asthma -- you could smell it all up and down the promenade deck. And there was no enforcement of the policy that smoking on the open deck was only allowed on the starboard side -- people smoked wherever they wanted. Every time I said something to one of the errant smokers, I got a dirty look.
But, all in all, we had a terrific cruise! Less

Football: Coach Holgorsen News Conference
Daniel Whitehead
November 01, 2011 04:20 PM
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – WVU coach Dana Holgorsen's weekly news conference.
Opening Statement
A couple of things from last week, I'm proud of how the guys responded to a very difficult situation. We went in knowing that it was going to be challenging. We couldn't have prepared for the weather, but we didn't use it as an excuse. We went in and wanted to win a little bit more than they wanted to win. It was a challenging situation. It was a good team, on the road. We were down at halftime and had the opportunity to quit. As a team, we had the chance to quit, but we didn't. There were a lot of things that we overcame and the fact that we won the game says a lot about the character of our football team.
This week, we have another challenge. Like we all know, every week in the BIG EAST is challenging and Louisville is coming to town on a two-game win streak. They've done something in the last two weeks that we haven't done. They beat Syracuse and Rutgers, which are two pretty good teams. They'll come in here ready to go. They're big. They're physical. They're talented. They're athletic and they're going to come right into the thick of things in the BIG EAST and expect to win.
On momentum coming off of victories
To be honest, I think every week is independent. If anyone should have some momentum right now, we should. Based on coming back home, based on overcoming the adversity that we overcame last week. We have everything out there in front of us. We're 6-2 and have a chance to finish strong. Does that give us an advantage? I doubt it. You have to line up and play every week. A few of the things that we've learned over the last two weeks was that you'd better play with effort all four quarters. Regardless of what the score is, you better be playing for four quarters. That can't ever change, especially when there's as much parity as there is. In this league, it doesn't matter who it is, they can get you. You better be ready to go out there every week.
On the challenge of playing a young, talented team in Louisville
We have some young guys ourselves that we expect to keep getting better. They play a lot more freshmen than we do. They start four true freshmen on defense, three true freshmen on offense and five or six others that play. Those are all key guys for a quarterback for who he's throwing to. There's more and more timing than they had earlier in the year. They're a deeper football team than we are. Due to the fact that they're young and they're playing, they're probably going to get better.
On the advantage of having an experienced quarterback in tight games
It should matter. I think Geno (Smith) had some poise last week in the fourth quarter. I got on him in the third quarter pretty good. We went out there and had field position. We wanted to make sure that we were kicking with the wind to gain field position if possible. Defensively, we three-and-outed them three times in a row and turned around and didn't do anything. I got on him, and I was pretty hard on him in the third quarter. We got into the fourth quarter and he had a big quarter to finish the game strong. You put the guys in that situation. I say our team in general, but a quarterback without having that kind of composure probably would have shut it down and we wouldn't have been able to get the job done.
On having the 4-1 turnover advantage
I would pay to have that. I would pay a lot of money every week for that. It was the difference in the game. You look at how that game went, the footing was terrible, there were people slipping offensively, slipping defensively, the game slowed down. That didn't give us an advantage and it didn't give them an advantage, but it made the handling of the ball extremely hard. For Geno to complete 67 percent of his passes, and only have one turnover compared to them, I'm unsure what their completion percentage was, but the four turnovers were the difference in the game.
When we punted, we were able to execute the snap, which was big. There were a lot of possessions because nobody could do anything. Due to the fact that we didn't give them good field position, it was the difference in the game.
On filling out the roster, using all available scholarships
I made reference to it last week. Part of it is recruiting, part of it is making sure that you have exactly what you want in the room that you're coaching. That's recruiting. Not only that, but it's making sure that you're making good decisions, making sure that you keep them academically eligible and accountable for what's expected of them on field and off the field. In addition to that, you have to ensure that you sign a full class. A lot of our efforts right now are making sure that we have enough kids coming in at mid-term and not losing the amount of scholarships. Once you lose them, they're gone and you can't use them. If we have a lot of people at mid-term, we'd better use them because in February you've only got 25. You can't sign 40; you can only sign 25. Last year, we signed 18 or 19 in February. If you've got six or seven, you'd better get them by midterm. If you don't, you lose them. Due to the fact that you only get 25, you better take full advantage of that and fill a full roster.
You can identify 25 people, but that doesn't mean that you're going to get them. Part of it is identifying them, and then recruiting them and then sealing the deal on them. It's a combination of a whole bunch of things. We're working pretty tirelessly around here to make sure that we get 1) the type of kid that we want, and 2) we get them to where we need them to go.
I'd like to bring in 20 in January if we could. It makes spring practice a lot easier. When you're less than two-deep, our walk-on program is getting better so we can field a team in the spring, but you can't be just two-deep. You have to be three- or four-deep. You get people hurt and you have to keep plugging people in, maturing them and whoever is running our scout team right now, you want to move a couple of those guys up to actual players. You don't want a whole bunch of people coming in just to re-train them. You want some carry-over. It gets to a point where it's unrealistic to bring in only six. Not saying it couldn't happen, but it gets hard.
On Louisville's success on defense
It starts with coaching. They're well-coached. Charlie Strong has been as well-respected of a defensive coordinator as there's been in the profession for the last two decades. The guy's won two national championships and has been a part of some good programs being the defensive coordinator. That tells you something.
They've done a nice job of getting guys and recruiting. They play a lot of people. They're two-deep at each position, and a lot of those guys play. They have a bunch of competition that's making them better, as well. They play well and they've got good players.
On what he sees in Louisville's offense
They're getting better. They've made some changes. It goes back to their young guys and they're playing a bunch of people early. They didn't have as much success as they wanted, so they made some changes. Since they've done that, they've been a little more efficient. They may not put up big numbers or big points, but they're more efficient. Up front, they've got their center back. We say we're not very experienced with our offensive line, well, we've got more than one guy back. They've got one buy back up front, so those guys are learning to play with each other and they've got a bunch of skill kids who look talented to me. They're just not on the same page yet.
On the play of Tavon Austin
We've got something for him every week to touch the ball. Going through our reads and throwing it to him, we've got something to get it to him. Whether it's there or not is a whole other story. It's just coaching. Due to the fact that a lot of teams are doing things that make it hard to prepare for, you can't pinpoint what they're going to do in specific situations and it makes in-game adjustments more important and it makes the quarterback making sure the play's there before pulling the trigger on it. It was there, Geno pulled the trigger on it, and it worked out well last week. We want the ball in his hands, but we aren't going to force it.
On the play of Shawne Alston
Shawne is getting there. We've been getting him touches. He's been getting healthier to where it makes it easier to have another guy who can play a lot of different positions. He can be the main back or the fullback/lead back guy because he's a physical guy. Having guys like him who can play more than one position is definitely a good thing. We'll keep getting him the ball as long as when he runs it, he keeps going forward.
On punter Matt Molinari
He was huge. Huge. It starts with the snap, which one of the most underrated guys on our team. Cody Nutter is a senior and he's been perfect on his snaps for eight games on PAT/field goals and punts. It starts with him. Molinari has done a wonderful job of identifying when they're coming and when they're not coming and gauging how much time he's got and then pinning it inside the 10 and getting it downfield. It's been huge. It goes back to the handling of the ball. It was challenging last week. He did a great job.
On how the team is approaching the Louisville game compared to the Rutgers game
When your back is to the wall, you tend to respond with a bit more energy. I thought the preparation was better and the effort was better. I thought we were excited to play going into Syracuse and our preparation was fine, but the biggest thing was when we got smacked, we didn't respond. Last week, there were a lot of opportunities to shut it down. It was too cold, they're winning by 10, to 'this is not working out how we wanted it to,' etc. We responded better within the game. I anticipate our preparation this week will be fine. It's about continuing to mature as a team and play well together and pick each other up and having more energy and excitement than the other team. When things get bad, you have to have the ability to step up and do something about it.
On the progress of Geno Smith
He's still got some room to grow. Half of it is mental, half of it's making a play. He'll keep getting better from a mental aspect. He still makes mistakes just like I do and everybody does. We're human – it happens. Being able to overcome those is important. It's about making a play. On the one touchdown, he made a play. That was not a designed end-around play. If he had it, throw it. If he didn't have it, don't force it, but make a play. He did, and he needs to keep doing that.
On having Geno run or stay in the pocket
It's somewhere in between. We want him to get the ball out of his hands to more talented people that can do something with it. We want to keep his body out of harm's way as much as we can. It's impossible to do throughout the course of the game. We need to do our job as coaches to not put him in situations where he's taking a beating. When he's in the pocket, get rid of it. If it breaks down, get out of it. Once you get out of it, put the ball in play by throwing it or deciding to run it. You have to make the best decision. We can't yell at him to run or yell at him to throw, but he needs to make that decision on the go.
On pressuring Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater
When I studied their offense two weeks ago preparing for Rutgers, Louisville is one of the games I studied offensively. It seemed to me that they were doing a pretty good job of it, and he wasn't caught with the ball as much. Their run game was getting a little bit better. When they threw the ball, he was getting it out pretty well. As anything, when they're in throwing situations, we need to go get him and attack the ball or attack the guy with the ball.
On the limited play of Stedman Bailey against Rutgers
It wasn't him – it was the conditions. The wideouts, the guys farther away from the ball, didn't see the ball very much because they were way out there and it's hard to get your footing. The two times we got it to him, it looked pretty good. We probably could have made a little more of an effort to force it to him, but we didn't really want to do that. We didn't run as many plays and we ran the ball a lot more than we have, so there weren't as many opportunities.
On Teddy Bridgewater
He's got the ability to make a play. He's like Geno was two years ago growing into himself and learning. He's talented and has a good arm. He has the ability to get out of it and run down the field. He's developing a pretty good rapport with the guys around him. He's throwing it to about eight different guys. It's a familiarity with the offense and sitting in the pocket or being able to make a play with his feet when things break down.
On Louisville's changeup of offensive coordinator a couple weeks ago
I didn't study their earlier games. I asked Jeff (Casteel) that, and he didn't notice a lot of change. If you want any kind of continuity with your offense or defense or your special teams, you don't want to switch from year-to-year, let alone game-to-game. They're still doing a lot of the same stuff. It's just getting guys on the same page would be my guess without being on the inside of it. They've settled in some positions by that point.
On the move to the Big 12
It remains the same as it was two weeks ago as far as speculation. We're not talking about it. Last week it became official and we're not talking about it. This week, it's going to happen and we're not going to talk about it. From what our job is, 1) I'd be naïve to not talk about it, so within the task at hand, with our players, with our coaches, we've been instructed that it's all about Louisville. Last week when it became official, on Friday we brought the guys together for about 30 seconds and told them it was official, but then we told them it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything with this week and it doesn't mean anything next week.
Our task at hand is the same as what it was in August, which is to win the BIG EAST. That's what our challenge is, that's what our goal is. That's what all our focus, effort and energy is on. With that said, as a program, I'm excited, I can assure you that. I understand the Big 12 and what they're about from a national perspective, from a facilities perspective and academic perspective. The amount of changes and challenges that are going to take place here at West Virginia is something that will take a long time to get done. It's a huge task – it's not an overnight fix. It's great to be able to solidify our future and what we need to do to put ourselves in a position to be successful.
On being able to tell recruits the future of the program
It's nice. That was one of the challenges of knowing what to say. Whatever we show on film to get better, move on or go practice from a futures standpoint, from raising money, to facilities, to recruiting and all things that affect the future, it makes things easier. You know where you're headed, you know where you're going and you know what you've got to do.
On the challenges with a new conference
Everything. It's a step up now. The BIG EAST is the most competitive conference I've been in. Period. From top to bottom, it's the most competitive conference I've been in – within the conference. The Big 12, as far as setting the standard, from a facilities standpoint, from a recruiting standpoint, from a TV exposure standpoint, to an academic standpoint, is something that they set the bar very, very high. I know that West Virginia is capable of adding to that. From a fan base perspective, from how many people go to the games, it's something we're going to have to evaluate and try to make it as good as we can to be able to compete.
On if any distractions occurred with the announcement
I don't think so. If anything, maybe a coaches' perspective. We were getting a lot of phone calls and conversations of where it's going and recruiting phone calls, etc. I think our guys did a good job of just focusing on the task at hand. Kids are a little more short-sighted. They see a task and that's what they focus on. They're not worried about West Virginia University five years from now, I can assure you that. Right now, they're worried about class, what they're doing Wednesday night, who the opponent is Saturday and what they're doing after the game. I doubt very many of them know who our opponent is past this opponent right now. From a players' standpoint, I don't think it was a distraction. We'll continue to talk about it and make sure that we focus on whatever's in front of us and that's what we have to worry about.
On how traveling will be affected
It's overrated. From an institutional standpoint, it's overrated. From a fan's perspective, it's probably a little more challenging. If you're a fan that will drive five hours, but not 10 hours, then it may be a problem. They may need to start looking in booking flight tickets a year in advance to get cheap flights. All the places that we'll be playing will be places that we can get to. It's air travel, and it's all gone air travel anyway. There are some fun venues, you know. I can assure you that. There's a lot of good places and there will be a lot of fun times ahead.
On which school gets the most snow
Iowa State. That's one of the colder games I've ever been in. I believe it was 2005. I've been there three times, two of which were really cold. The thing that made the game so challenging on Saturday was the cold mixed in with the wind, mixed in with the rain, mixed in with the sleet, ice, snow, slush, and it being constant for five hours.
On the use of his hat
You have to cover the wind and the rain. It was raining. How many times has it rained this year? Four times? I've worn a hat all four times. I know you don't want me to wear a hat. I don't know. If it rains, I'll wear a hat to keep the wind and rain from getting into my eyes and I can't see.

Calls to Quitline have surged since the increase in tobacco tax excise and were higher in May in Victoria than for any other month in four years.
Some 3,111 Victorians phoned the Quitline last month, compared to just over two thousand callers the month before.
The numbers are revealed as new research shows recent quitters ranked cigarette cost as the most helpful aid when making the decision to quit, trying to quit and staying quit.
Quit Executive Director Fiona Sharkie said the Cancer Council Victoria research was especially important given the tax rise was here to stay after being passed in the Senate this afternoon.
"Studies continuously show that a price increase is the single most effective measure that can bring down smoking rates in the community. And now recent quitters are saying it was the most useful aid when they were quitting too."
"We're glad to see members of the Senate have recognised this and passed this life-saving tax that is already showing tangible results in encouraging more smokers to try to quit."
Call numbers to Quitline are reflective of just some of the estimated 100,000 Australians who will quit smoking because of the tobacco excise increase.
The last time Quitline had this many callers was when graphic health warnings on cigarette packs were introduced in May 2006.

'You want my black dick, don't you pussy boy! Well I'm going to tear up your white ass on the outside first!' Whack! Whack! Whack!
I can't help thinking about the events of this weekend, even now my asshole is feeling the effects of my punishment and my cockhead is leaking. Derrick a tall, black neighbor of mine came over one evening, after much pleading on my part. He is an intimidating figure, trim but very muscular which helps him in his job as a prison guard. This was our fourth sexual encounter and it keeps getting hotter.
I am married and basically straight but have a deep longing to serve a dominant black man. Each time Derrick and I are together I find myself going further down that path. For this encounter I greet him at the door wearing a dog collar, a first for me. This is a purely sexual affair, but sex at it's hottest.
'You know what you want white boy. Take care of your Daddy's dick!' I get on my knees and start to worship his glorious but intimidating manhood. It swells to over 10' in length and wide as my wrist. Derrick starts to slap my face and lips with it. He grabs my hair and makes sure I lick his balls real good before pushing my face into his muscular ass. The thought of kissing this hot black man's ass makes me so hot, especially the way he verbally humiliates me at the same time.
He bends me over a chair and rubs that huge cock up and down my man pussy. It has been several months since he's stretched out my tight ass and he knows how much I love it. He tells me to spread my ass cheeks and hold them apart. I know what's coming a good thrashing with the strap. Again and again the strap comes down hard on both cheeks and occasionally on my asshole, which causes me to wince in pain. I dare not release the position and displease my Black Master. My ass is a bright red all over and hot to the touch. He commands me to suck his dick once more. I try to leave as much saliva on it as possible to make for easier entry. I am on my knees when he starts to shove it in. It is all I can do not to scream as my poor tortured asshole is stretched apart and inch after inch of hard black cock enters my hot white ass. I know I am going to get fucked and fucked hard. 'You love getting your boy pussy plowed hard don't you?' he teases as starts to piston fuck me mercilessly. He drives me this way and that, occasionally administering a hard spank on my ass cheeks. The neighbors can probably hear the punishment that I am receiving, knowing this makes me hotter than ever. He slaps my hands away from my dick, not allowing me to touch myself. He puts me on my back and spreads my ankles apart hard while he plunges into my hole with a vengeance. There is no doubt that the hottest sexual experience for me has been to be his sex slave and while he is banging my ass I spurt all over my chest without touching myself. Derrick pulls out of my ass before coming and commands me to drink his sperm. I deepthroat of much of him as his hot cum explodes. He will come in my mouth twice more before the night is out and my poor hot ass will be spanked and mercilessly fucked again and again. I look forward to our next encounter, when perhaps he will bring a friend so I can be double fucked.

Greensburg police offer community alerts, drug disposal bins
Greensburg residents can get alerts about emergency situations in the city via cellphones or email accounts.
And, in another program, they can dispose of unwanted prescriptions medicines at the city police station.
By going to www.nixle.com, residents can register for such information as city road closures, police situations, vehicle accidents and alerts about missing children and lost Alzheimer's patients, police chief Walter "Wally" Lyons said.
"When there's any emergency, notifications will be sent out by the city," Lyons said. "It's things that we want the community to be aware of."
A link has also been added to the city website at www.greensburgpa.org to help people find the Nixle site, City Administrator Sue Trout said.
To register, go to either website and follow the directions. Applicants can sign up and receive information through ZIP code, city or other options.
After signing up, applicants will receive a notice from Nixle Connect.
"For a variety of reasons, in emergency situations it is important the municipality can connect with the citizens," Lyons said.
"We've been looking for some program to give emergency notifications to the community, and this program is free to the municipality and the (residents)," he said.
Nixle was organized in January 2007. More than 4,000 municipalities have been certified to use the service since Nixle began offering connections in 2009, according to the company's website.
The company's site lists answers to frequently asked questions for potential Nixle users.
With the drug drop-off program, people can bring unwanted prescriptions to a bin in the side entrance to the police department.
The Westmoreland County District Attorney's office, the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association and police are involved in the cooperative effort.
The intent is to get potentially harmful medications, such as pain medicines, out of the hands of children, drug abusers and others, officials said.
"This gives the community the 24/7 ability to dispose of unwanted drugs at the Greensburg police department," Lyons said.
About two-thirds of the 92 people who died from drug overdoses in the county in 2013 succumbed because of prescription drug abuse, according to the county coroner's office.
Other police departments in Westmoreland County have or will be putting up the medicine-disposal receptacles.
Greensburg will continue to take part in the periodic Drug Take Back Initiative sponsored by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, Lyons said.
Greensburg police collected several trash bags filled with medication in the last Take Back program sponsored by the DEA, Lyons said.
"There are a lot of prescription drugs out there that people got for some injury, or old pain medicine that has been out there for years," Lyons said.

STUDENTS have raised money to buy DVDs and games for young cancer patients at Southend Hospital.
Teenagers at Eden Training centre, in Westcliff, raised more than £700 after one of their sisters was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and treated at the hospital.
They raised the money from a sponsored pier walk and cake sales. Their total of £383 was matched by the directors of Eden Training.
The students are aged between 14 and 16 and have had difficulties at mainstream schools. Eden Training offers alternative education courses with work-based learning programmes.
Liz Lawrence, of Southend Hospital, said: "We will use the money to help buy hand held games, laptop computers and DVDs. We are very grateful to the students."

Mr Morgan, who is also the principal of public opinion pollster Roy Morgan Research, said he believed criticism of the proposed resources rent tax in the speech was behind the decision.
He said the ASX also refused to publish a statement containing a link to the speech.
"Some of the information is market-sensitive," Mr Morgan said.
"Now some shareholders have read it and some haven't. Are they going to de-list Haoma? What's going to happen?
"We think it's wrong that the ASX decided to censor what we had to say. We're going to put it out in our annual report, are they going to censor that?"
An ASX spokesman said: "As we do in all cases we've worked with the company to find a solution, one has been offered and it's now for the company to decide whether it wishes to choose that."

Shopping online is something that is growing all the time. More and more people are finding it to be the easiest way for them to find the things they want or need. Here are some key motivators that have people wanting to shop for auto parts on the web.
This being easy to do and very convenient is one of the mot common reasons that we see. People love that they do not have to leave the house to do the shopping that they require. With numerous web sites available that offer the products that they want they can do almost everything while sitting in their pyjamas at any hour of the day as these stores to not have set hours of operation.
The prices that they offer the consumer are very reasonable and often a lot cheaper then what people can find in the stores that they would use in the past for their auto parts shopping. The web stores have far less to pay out when it comes to overhead and these savings that they have are passed on to their customers in the lower prices that they are able to offer.
The parts that are bought in this manner will be shipped directly to the person that makes an order. The costs of shipping are very reasonable and often the part is sent out the very next day after you have made the purchase. Shipping is something that we all have had to pay for in the past when buying parts but was usually hidden within the price that the dealer you were buying from was charging a person.
The cost for the shipping is very reasonable as well. Most people forget the fact that even when parts are bought in conventional types of stores that they are paying a fee for the shipping of the product to the store that they are buying from. This is generally incorporated into the price which explains why people tend to overlook this.
Knowing these key reasons people shop for auto parts on the web can help you see things a bit more clearly then before. This also explains why it is growing so quickly with people all over the world. Everyone loves the thought of being able to save money.

Child Abuse
Admitting Child Abuse
This is difficult for me to write, but I need an answer from a professional. When I was 13, I found an adult movie in my brother`s room and watched it. It had girls kissing each other in the genitals. I wanted to know what it felt like, so soon after I did it to a 4-year-old. I knew it was wrong but did not fully understand the consequences of what I was doing. I did it only once but 11 years later I still feel the remorse and guilt from this incident. I am afraid it has affected the child (now a teenager) even though she doesn`t remember right now. She tends to have screaming fits with her parents, and I`m afraid the repressed memory of what I did to her could be a cause of her explosive behavior, although her parents have always verbally abused her to an extent. I am also afraid that she will suddenly remember one day and it will ruin both of our lives. What advice can you give me on this subject, specifically how she could be effected today by what I did and how likely it is that she will remember it? Is there anything at all I can do to help the situation in some way? My pain over this incident is constant and I don`t want her or my family to ever have to feel any of that pain because of me. Thank you for your time.
The detailed answer to your question requires more information regarding the family relationships and details about the individuals involved. The one recommendation I can make from the information given me is that you should set up an appointment with a therapist as soon as possible. It is clear that you have many unresolved issues and you need to address these in order to help yourself and the victim. Please follow up with this suggestion and good luck.

I hope Mr. Bacon won't mind if I tread on his territory, but I am in the mood for a scavenger hunt. To play, take your camera, smart phone, iPod Touch or other photographic device on a run and take pictures of the following:
1. Something beautiful.
2. Something ugly.
3. Something loud.
4. Something purple.
5. Something with numbers (but not your Garmin).
6. Something ironic (you'll know it when you see it).
7. A live animal (mosquito, buffalo, aligator), but not human.
8. Person or people doing something healthy (but not yourself).
9. Something very tall.
10. Yourself after a hot run, the sweatier the better.
Submit your entries the week of June 17-24 (inclusive). Submit all pictures in a single bloop. Put "Scavenger" in the bloop title. No entries accepted after June 24. No exceptions.
One picture per item. No bonus points for more than one pic per category, nor for a pic that fits more than one category. Be decisive! Bonus points for creativity and originality. Bonus points for artistic merit. Bonus points if your pics sort of tell a story.
Voting will be based on the number of "likes" each bloop receives by Friday, June 28. In the case of a tie, unlikely runner will judge the absolute victor.
No prizes (unless someone else wants to offer something). Just the fun of participating and bragging rights to those who get high scores.
So you have a few days to plan your scavenger hunt run. It's best if all pics are taken on a single run, but multiple runs are okay. Please, all new pictures. You are on your honor not to go through old photos to find ones that fit.
If you plan to participate, please comment below and I will be on the lookout for your bloop entry.

Everything seemed good; we had plans to upgrade our power, cooling, fire suppression, and build the room. We were on track to move in July, but in February got notice that they colocation facility was kicking us out with 45 days notice.
Luckily the team I have is top notch and rather than panic, we aggressively planned. We came up with contingencies for power (we didn't have enough) but could retire some systems, replace some older 21-inch CRT monitors, and virtualize a lot of systems in the short amount of time we had. We didn't have cooling but were able to secure temporary cooling units in time for the move. We needed backups but luckily had a really good relationship with our vendor who agreed to expedite new hardware for us.
We met with our executives and explained the risks: limited redundancy on power and cooling, none on our Internet connection. With three weeks left to move, we got sign-off.
During week one, we retired or consolidated 10 racks of equipment down to one. This freed up 70 amps of power and the footprint to bring our existing infrastructure into.
Week two we got executive approval, moved 35 servers that were slated to go live but hadn't yet. Mostly this was a new iSCSI SAN. Rather than take it all down, we moved three-quarters of it and built a VMware ESX cluster on the rest of it instead. This course of action allowed us to virtualize approximately 40 boxes in the remaining 3 weeks, further reducing our power consumption.
During week three we ordered new backup hardware, and retired and virtualized more boxes. We also spent a lot of time figuring out which servers had to move together, and which ones could go in move 1 or move 2. We also worked with our applications team and user community to start developing test plans.
With two weeks left before we would be shut down, we moved our first group of servers. It was a good test. We only had about 40 servers to move and started at 3:00 p.m. By 9:00 p.m., everything was powered down and in the new location. Some of the team wanted to work through the night and get it done, but we knew that this was as much a training exercise as something to get through quickly so we went home instead. Saturday morning the setup team started and had everything up and running by 5:00 p.m.
During the next week we tweaked our plan for the big move and finalized our schedule. Scheduling is tricky. With 3 feet between cabinets, only one person can fit comfortably, so when scheduling the server racking you can't have two teams in the same area or they get in each other's way, but cabling doesn't require as much moving back and forth so teams can work side by side with no issues. We took each cabinet and the number of servers in each one, laid it on a map and then calculated how much time each step would take (10 minutes to rack, 15 to run power cables, 15 to run network cables) and designed the plan that way.
Luckily our timing was pretty close and the install went off with no major issues. Oh, we had the occasional, "Where are the rails for this server", or broken cables, but no major issues.
Sunday was our test day and we started at 8:00 a.m. Things were going well until one of the administrators came running up the stairs. "The power company just called. There is a power problem in the park and they need to take power down to resolve it." Thirty seconds came and went as we waited for him to start laughing. He didn't.
Luckily, the power problem was not related to anything we did but rather the high winds of the night before. They took power down and our UPS and generators kicked in and we kept on testing, but I'm sure we all lost at least a month of our lives when we thought we had done something to cause power to fail.
At the end of a stressful project like this it is always good to relax over dinner and drinks and congratulate yourselves on a job well done. We did, and were having a good time until I said "Next time we should do it in 20 days." I thought I was going to get hung.

|[Kerberos] Kerberos + Wicket
|Mon, 19 Feb 2007 01:46:39 GMT
Hi, Directory developers, As part of documenting practical uses of Apache Directory for Kerberos authentication, I got Kerberos authentication to a Wicket web app working. This uses the "SPNEGO+GSS-API+Kerberos V5" scheme popularized by IE and now well-supported in Firefox. I used the jGSS code in JDK 1.5, so this was a pretty quick 80-lines of code to glue Negotiate processing to Wicket. The "three-headed" Kerberos setup I tested was (1) Firefox 2 and IE 7 (2) Wicket app (3) and Apache Directory. I wanted to check where the best home for this code is. I followed the layout of the "signin" and "signin2" apps in Wicket Examples, so one possibility is a contribution to Wicket. But, 90% of the difficulty is in the configuration of Kerberos, so I think it makes the most sense to maintain at Directory. The code is commented and ready to commit. I would do a Confluence page to detail, from scratch, how to set this up. Any objections to my committing this to Directory? Would it be a module in trunk or something I put in my sandbox, maybe until you get to review a TBD Confluence page? Enrique

The bio/pharmaceutical industry has created its own language and GxP is one of many acronyms that we all tend to use. While this may seem "elementary" to some of you, many people may not know what this means. So let's define it because when we refer to "GxP training" you need to have the right context.
As you can see, GxP is used as the acronym that refers to the regulations established by the United States Food and Drug Administration which are published in the Code of Federal Regulations. Sometimes people refer to the "GCPs" which specifically were created as the rules that govern clinical trials vs. product manufacturing (GMPs) or laboratory regulations (GLPs). Together, these rules are known collectively as the "predicate rules" and govern a wide spectrum of regulatory obligations across the diverse life science industries. The predicate rules also provide a standard against which citations can be effectively made when FDA inspections are conducted. Violation of a predicate rule will most likely result in a 483 followed by a warning letter. Got it?
There is just a bit more to help you navigate this important terrain before we delve into why a GxP training / learning program is vital.
When a regulation is cited, the title tells you where it is published. For example: 21 CFR 312.2 means:
There is a helpful website that you can use to quickly find and research the regulations. As an educator in our industry and as a member of academia, I strongly suggest that you read the regulations that pertain to your roles (and your specific area) even if you have read them before. It is important to stay current!

Welcome to Infonista, Kim Dority's blog about all the incredibly cool things you can do with your information skills – and how to do them so you have fun, make money, and contribute value.
A lot of my posts will be based on what I (or my LIS friends) have learned working as an information professional for over twenty years, sometimes as an employee but mostly as the founder and president of Colorado-based Dority & Associates, Inc. Over the years, my client projects have focused primarily on information strategy, information process design, research, writing, editing, and publishing.
Throughout the course of my LIS career, I've had an opportunity to work with both nonprofit and for-profit organizations in publishing, academe, telecommunications, online learning, healthcare, marketing, and public relations. I've written a couple of books, including Rethinking Information Work, 2d ed (Libraries Unlimited, 2016), and am working on a couple more. Once a year I teach a course called "Alternative Career Paths for LIS Students" for the University of Denver MLIS program, and I manage the LIS Career Options group on LinkedIn.
And my career development? My earliest career goals were to be Annie Oakley, or Sandy Koufax so I could pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers. My career motto:
Everything I need to know I learned body-surfing in Southern California…
- Anticipate
- Position for opportunity
- Paddle like crazy
- Enjoy the ride, but know it will end
- Don't take the sand in your suit personally
- Know that a new wave is always on the way
I hope the information you find in Infonista helps you create the LIS career of your dreams!

Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil Reviews
Fan-freaking-tastic!!This is my absolute favorite lip product. It has a lovely matte finish and it stays on for quite a long time without feathering. My favorite shade is Bettina, a light pinkish nude. I wear it almost daily. I also have Sex Machine, a rosy pink; Never Say Never, a plummy shade and Dolce Vita, a light neutral red. I keep each one of these lip pencils in my purse at all times, although I wear Bett...read moreina the most frequently. I absolutely love these pencils.

Dragon Girl! You go, girl!This is for Dragon Girl only; the iconic red lipstick that makes its way onto top-pick lists everywhere. I give top marks for this pencil's ease of application, color pay-off and length of wear.

I got a good 3-4 hours of wear with eating, LOTS of chatting, and a pretty decent a...read moremount (ok...a lot) of drinking going on. I do use MAC's Prep & Prime Lip (which is also uh-maze-ing!) religiously with pretty much any lipstick I wear, so I can't say with certainty how this would perform without that. My minus one star comes from how it feels on my lips. I find it to be kind of drying and not as smooth as I would like it to be. After a couple hours of wear, I can see those little lipstick+lip flakes you get when you wear a drying lipstick. Now granted, there aren't as many flakes as there might be with a less awesome lipstick, but there are still some none-the-less. I expected complete flawlessness, and I didn't get it. It is quite possible my expectations were a little too high. Anyways, with that said, this is still a pretty amazing lip product and definitely worthy of the hype. I also really do think this would work on a variety of skin tones, I can see it being a perfect universally flattering red. — 2 years, 10 months agostrawberrytime | 32 reviews
A long time favorite.I first read about NARS Cosmetics in an internet article - one of those "best beauty finds" stories. It mentioned the NARS Matte Lip Pencil. The recommended color was "Roman Holiday" so I ordered one from Sephora along with Cruella and Bettina. I was truly surprised! It's just a big, fat, lip crayon (NOT a liner). Very sturdy, and the color glides on and covers like lipstick, but has a velvety tex...read moreture like...well, almost like ChapStik. It will last for many hours and DOES NOT "pill" like lipstick (which I have grown to hate very much). The ingredients must be gentle because my lips feel soft even after the color has worn away. The "Roman Holiday" color is a shiny, pale pink. I decided to try "Sex Machine." Nice color, but too "mauve" for me, no shine. These pencils are a MUST-HAVE for any gal's make up bag. And NARS customer service is one the best EVER to work with! Yes, they may be a little pricey, but I think it's worth it. I did read a review from someone who gave this product a low rating because they couldn't get the pencil sharpened. NARS sells a multi-product sharpener ($6) that sharpens 3 or 4 of their different pencils. The wrap of the Matte Lip Pencil is VERY thick, and must be sharpened slowly or it will be ruined. Keep this in mind when it's time to sharpen your pencil. And don't forget to remove the adapter that's stuck in the hole for the lip pencil! — 3 years, 11 months agoLazy_Girl_Makeup | 36 reviews

Not sure how I feel about it.I have this pencil in Roman Holiday and love the shade. Itlooks a really bright, but does not go on as bright. It is not drying like a lot of matte lipsticks. The main problem I have with this product is the staying power. It seems like 15-20 minutes after I put it on, you can barely see it.
