Santa Barbara, CA, United States, 2016/01/07 - Automation of accounts payable and common area maintenance reconciliations saves time and paper - TheHeritageGroup.com / Yardi.com.
The Heritage Group, Inc., a real estate management and investment advisory firm, has launched Yardi Voyager® 7S, a property management and accounting platform, to accommodate its growing portfolio and improve client service.
Heritage has nearly doubled in size from seven to 13 professionals and added over one million square feet in new leasing and management assignments. Heritage also added brokerage professionals who brought numerous listings to the firm.
We attribute the growth to an increase in transactional business both on the leasing and investment side, said Mark Hoekstra, managing director at The Heritage Group.
Heritage has acquired four properties this year on behalf of clients and its own account, with three more in the pipeline that will close before year end.
Our portfolio is growing fast, and our goal is to save our people from being overwhelmed with handling invoices, said Breanna Walulik, senior accountant for Heritage. As a mobile platform, Voyager lets us take care of all property management operations in the field as well as in the office.
Yardi Voyager is a browser-independent, mobile-enabled platform that will automate the accounts payable process that Heritage currently performs manually. Yardi Voyager will also ease Heritages common area maintenance (CAM) reconciliation process.
We use a high-tech, high-touch approach to ensure efficient and quality performance for our clients, Walulik said. Voyager will complement our current strategies and save staff time by automating calculations.
Yardi Voyager will also automate the compilation and distribution of electronic financial reports to Heritages property owners, complete with attachments, further reducing Heritages paper burden.
Yardi is pleased that the streamlined operations, simplified CAM process and holistic business intelligence will help Heritages staff members to focus on their core responsibilities of portfolio management and client service, said Terri Dowen, senior vice president of sales for Yardi®.

BC business leaders believe that levying higher taxes on the wealthy is the best way for governments to reduce deficits and debt, according to the 2012 fourth-quarter Business in Vancouver business outlook survey.
In addition to questioning respondents about confidence in their businesses and industry sectors, the survey of 147 B.C. business leaders conducted by Ipsos Reid between November 19 and 29 gathered input on both the U.S. presidential election and how effectively governments are controlling deficits and debt.
When respondents were asked what actions they would like to see governments take to control deficit spending and accumulated debt, 63% said they wanted to see taxes hiked on the wealthy.
"It's socialistic to say raise the taxes on the wealthy, so it's interesting given that a lot of the people being surveyed would fall into that [wealthy] category," said Dave Pierzchala, senior vice-president and managing director at Ipsos Reid West.
The survey did not detail what threshold the executives considered wealthy. The next most popular strategies for deficit and debt reduction were:
•reduce public sector workers' salaries and benefits (49%);
•lower taxes on small businesses (44%); and
•raise taxes on corporations (36%).
The surveyed executives were largely ambivalent about the impact of the U.S. federal election on their sectors, with 58% believing the outcome was unimportant.
Of those who thought the outcome had an impact on their industries, 28% believed it was positive; 11% believed it was negative.
"They know what [U.S. President Barack Obama] stands for," Pierzchala said. "They've had four years to get used to what his policies might be." •
An Ipsos Reid survey for Business in Vancouver reveals that B.C. business leaders are increasingly pessimistic about future sales and profit in their businesses and in those of their direct competitors.
They're similarly less confident about the likelihood that they'll hire new staff, make new capital expenditures in their businesses or move to a larger space.
In some of the categories the confidence level has dropped in steps each quarter since the start of 2012.
In 2011's fourth quarter about 50% of B.C. business leaders surveyed predicted that their sales over the coming year would rise. That jumped to 57% in 2012's first quarter but then dropped to 55% in the year's second quarter and 50% in 2012's third quarter. It now stands at 47% in the latest Ipsos-BIV survey, which was conducted in November.
"The sales numbers are probably the most concerning because they started off the year at a high water mark," said Dave Pierzchala, senior vice-president and managing director at Ipsos Reid West.
"A similar trend is there in regard to profit."
In 2012's second quarter, 49% of business executives predicted that their profit would be higher over the next 12 months. That number dropped to 44% in 2012's third quarter and now sits at 38% in the current survey – the lowest percentage since BIV started conducting business confidence surveys with Ipsos in 2010.
Similarly, in 2012's second quarter, 37% of executives expected to hire new staff in the next 12 months. That percentage fell to 27% in the most recent survey.

I've had three friends with very easy pregnancies. One opted for a planned C-section. She chose not to nurse at all.
The other parent had her twins at home with her mom as doula (lot of homebirth experience) there. She was able to nurse them both without supplementation.
The third friend is now pregnant with her SECOND SET of twins and the pregnancy is going well. She had a safe, natural hospital birth with her first singelton and her twins. She had pretty serious ppd issues with all three births but was able to nurse them all. The twin ppd was not worse than the first. The assume it will happen again and so are planning for it. Yeah!

Thomas Sugrue: Reflections on Barry Goldwater's Conscience of a ConservativeRoundup: Talking About History
... Among historians and pundits, it is a cliché that the American New Right emerged in reaction to the excesses of 1960s leftists and the liberal politicians who enabled them. Liberalism unravelled when student protesters rallied for Ho Chi Minh, Black Power radicals put whitey 'up against the wall, motherfucker!', counterculturalists bared their bodies, gyrated to psychedelic music and dropped acid, and man-hating feminists undermined the traditional family, while out of control federal spending subsidised unemployment and rewarded ungrateful blacks for rioting. Conservatives of all stripes looked back wistfully to the 1950s as the zenith of American greatness (leftists offered a mirror image of the story, renouncing post-World War Two America as conformist, conservative and corporate). Not Goldwater. 'Conservatives,' he wrote at a moment when only utopian leftists could even imagine hippies, welfare rights, 'Negroes with Guns' and abortion on demand, 'are deeply persuaded that our society is ailing.' He held no brief for the 'happy days' of the 1950s. To him – and his followers – postwar America was rotten to the core, its citizens in thrall to the blandishments of the welfare state. Communism prevailed because of America's effeminacy. Americans had lost the self-sufficiency and entrepreneurial energy that had made their country great. Politics and society were in need of wholesale renewal. Americans were morally and spiritually bankrupt.
Although Goldwater – unlike many of his followers on the right – was not a particularly religious man (he was a member of the Episcopal Church, the blandly mainstream sect once nicknamed 'the Republican Party at prayer'). But even if he lacked the zeal of the evangelical Christians who would become the New Right's stalwart warriors, Goldwater's vision of American society was deeply religious. (Here, perhaps, is the imprint of his ghostwriter Bozell: like his mentor Buckley, a devout Catholic of the ultramontane variety.) For Goldwater, conservatism was not merely a political position, it was an expression of divine truth: 'Conservatism, we are told, is out of date. The charge is preposterous and we ought boldly to say so. The laws of God, and of nature, have no dateline.' The Conscience of a Conservative had as its sombre purpose the redemption of the individual and the salvation of an entire nation.
From the 'nature of man, and the truths that God has revealed about his creation,' Goldwater derived several basic principles that may have rested uneasily with Bozell's Catholicism. Goldwater was a radical individualist. 'Every man, for his individual good and for the good of his society, is responsible for his own development.' He railed against the welfare state because he saw it as a soul-destroying institution. Welfare, he argued, 'transforms the individual from a dignified, industrious, self-reliant spiritual being into a dependent animal creature without his knowing it.' The greatest hindrance to the fulfilment of human potential was government itself. 'Throughout history, government has proved to be the chief instrument for thwarting man's liberty.'
For Goldwater, next to Holy Writ was the inspired text of the US constitution, a document that rested on 'ancient and tested truths'. No mainstream Protestant could sanction a literal reading of the Bible, but like many of his rightist compatriots, Goldwater transferred his suppressed biblical literalism onto America's founding documents. 'The constitution,' he proclaimed with the solemnity of a fundamentalist, 'is what its authors intended it to be and said it was.' The Founders intended a limited government, not a state with regulatory powers over business, not a system of government-subsidised props for the indolent, not a vast, faceless bureaucracy. Any act of constitutional interpretation – at least, any that led to conclusions which disagreed with Goldwater's – was an act of intolerable hubris, 'substituting our own intentions for those of the constitution's framers'. Perhaps the most surprising element of Goldwater's political philosophy – at least in the light of the current neoconservative crusade to 'democratise' the Middle East – was his deep suspicion of the demos. He reiterated the common right-wing criticism of the post-New Deal federal government as 'a vast national authority, out of touch with the people, and out of their control'. But unlike the increasingly vocal advocates of participatory democracy, on both the right and the left, Goldwater did not propose giving power to the people. Siding with those Founders who sought to restrain the democratic impulses unleashed in the age of revolution, Goldwater warned against the 'tyranny of the masses': 'many a democratic society . . . has lost its freedom by persuading itself that if "the people" rule, all is well.'
Goldwater's anti-democratic sentiments were as much an expression of realpolitik as a resuscitation of Aristotle and his 18th-century Anglo-American heirs. When he wrote The Conscience of a Conservative, the right had spent a quarter-century wandering in the desert of the New Deal. Even Goldwater's fellow Republicans – like Eisenhower, Rockefeller and the Supreme Court chief justice Earl Warren – had fallen to their knees to worship the false idols of economic regulation and social welfare. Goldwater's suspicion of the demos was explicable: the deluded masses had continued to elect Democrats (and their Republican toadies) who were committed to big government. If Americans were, as Goldwater claimed, naturally conservative, how could this be? 'Welfarism,' he wrote in a lengthy italicised passage, 'is much more compatible with the political processes of a democratic society.' An excess of democracy allowed those who craved absolute power to 'swindle' the people into giving up their freedom in exchange for a little economic security. Liberalism was a collective delusion, a form of false consciousness that kept individuals from achieving their true spiritual fulfilment through self-sufficiency. The social welfare state was the product of too much democracy....
His politics were at once profoundly libertarian and profoundly authoritarian. Most libertarians harbour a naively benign view of the human condition: Goldwater's view was more jaundiced. Human freedom demanded external control. It necessitated the expansion of police powers to curb the excesses of those who might trammel others' freedoms. The future that Goldwater saw was a country at once stripped of nearly all of its regulatory powers when it came to business activity but with a strong military ready not just to contain but to trample its Communist enemies, a strong police to put down unrest in the streets, and a defended national border.
It has taken the paradoxical presidency of George W. Bush to bring the paradoxes of Goldwaterism to the surface. Bushism is Goldwaterism on steroids, but also something radically different. More than his Republican predecessors – even Reagan – Bush has reorganised the economy to favour the Republicans' corporate base. The near abolition of estate taxes and the appointment of judges like Samuel Alito and John Roberts who are committed to dismantling the regulatory state fulfils Goldwater's dream of strict constructionist judges burying the New Deal....

I haven't timed it, because it's been 'fast enough' for my needs. For reading binary data files, I have this little utility which is basically a wrapper around Numeric.fromstring (N below is Numeric imported 'as N'). Note that it can read binary .gz files directly, a _huge_ gain for very sparse files representing 3d arrays (I can read a 400k gz file which blows up to ~60MB when unzipped in no time at all, while reading the unzipped file is very slow): def read_bin(fname,dims,typecode,recast_type=None,offset=0,verbose=0): """Read in a binary data file.

I added some links to all the Index wikis. Please add more. And make them look "pretty". Each one should have a thumbnail image or icon at the top to show the category.
Whatever format you guys decide on, try to keep them all consistent in style and layout. Thanks.
One of them has a link that points into a wiki subtopic. You can add links to other parts of the hacking wikis too. And offsite links are welcome too if they are relevant and on-topic.
Please keep offsite links short. Do not add extra "pay me for clicks on this link" crap (like somebody added to some amazon kindlet links in another thread).
Hopefully, new people (and old members too) will be able to use the master index to find important things that were buried and lost in the search engine results. There are SO MANY posts in this forum that the search engine is NOT up to the task. Hopefully this Master Index and the Index Wikis will do the job that we need it to.
This should be a good starting point for newcomers to this forum. I am hoping that this will allow us to spend less time answering the same questions that we have answered MANY times before, so we can spend more time developing NEW stuff.
Good luck. I leave (most of) the rest up to you all.

ALPINE TOWNSHIP, MI — Perrin Brewing Co. will open its new microbrewery and restaurant this summer with a familiar West Michigan face in charge of the beer recipes.
Nate Walser, who was head brewer at Founders Brewing Co. during its rise from a brewpub teetering on the edge of bankruptcy to the powerhouse craft brewery it has become, has been acquired by Perrin.
"The sky is the limit around here," said Walser, who joined Perrin a month ago.
Walser, who worked at Founders from 2001 to 2005, said he helped develop the recipes for several of Founders' flagship line of beers, including their Dirty Bastard scotch style ale and Centennial IPA.
He also helped craft the recipe for one of Founders incredibly popular specialty brews, Kentucky Breakfast Stout, or KBS, as well as Blushing Monk.
Walser came to Founders after several years working in the production facility at New Holland Brewing Co., and was promoted to head brewer after several months. He worked closely with Founders current head brewer Jeremy Kosmicki until he left Founders in 2005.
"He was an integral part of our team and he did a great job for us," said Founders vice president Dave Engbers.
Kosmicki characterized Walser as a mentor during a Q&A interview with Food GPS in 2010:
"Back in the day, another one of my friends wanted to start homebrewing and asked if I'd come to his place and get him started. His name is Nate Walser and he was living and working near Holland, Michigan, at the time. Nate had been hanging around New Holland Brewery quite a bit and eventually got himself a job there as assistant brewer. Soon, my job at the tiny brewpub fell through, so I went down to Founders and took a job in the packaging department, doing whatever I could to get hours and be involved. In the summer of 2001, Founders' head brewer left and we hired Nate to take over. I became his assistant and learned how to run the bottling line, transfer beer, and brew on the brewhouse. I pretty much did every job, including shipping and receiving. Founders' owners soon gave me and Nate the opportunity to get really creative with the recipes and make the beers big and flavorful. Nate is one of those geniuses that can always find a way to make something work, even if he doesn't know exactly what he's doing. He's a great visionary and really got Founders rolling in the right direction."
At Perrin, Walser replaces Thomas Nicely, who was previously the head brewer for the new operation in Comstock Park, which tentatively opens later this month. Nicely had been a brewer at Lagunitas and Goose Island breweries, but left Perrin earlier this summer, said brewery partner Jarred Sper.

Walser said there are no sour grapes between him and the folks at Founders. He left at a time when the brewery was expanding rapidly and his job was becoming more of a production manager and less of a brewer, he said.
The brewery's capacity has skyrocketed from about 800 barrels per year when Walser came on to 5,000 per year in 2007 when Founders moved out of its longtime location in the Brass Works Building on Monroe Avenue NW and opened the 235 Grandville Ave. SW location. The brewery hit 25,000 barrels per year in 2010 and estimates to hit 140,000 in 2013.
"It was a good time for him to move on and a great time for Jeremy to really shine as a brewer," said Engbers, who called Walser "a friend of the brewery."
Walser said the two breakfast stouts were developed for the Founders taproom clientele and he's proud of how popular they have become. Founders vowed to triple production of KBS this year based on overwhelming demand for the beer.
Walser said he's very excited for the opportunity to return to a production brewing facility at Perrin after spending the past six years working as a brewery consultant around Michigan.
Perrin beer has begun showing up on tap in local establishments such as Rockwells & Republic, HopCat and The Score. The brewery will eventually add a canning and bottling line, and the system has the capacity to brew between 12,000 and 15,000 barrels.


text: I have the exciting opportunity to catalog and photograph a small museum collection. The items will mostly be prints, paintings and possibly a few photographs and sculptures. Some of the works will be framed and behind glass. I know that a whole career can be devoted to doing this kind of thing right, but I'm looking for some general tips & information that will help me get the best results. I'll need to bring a small lighting setup, and I'm wondering what else. The typical setup seems to be two lights at a specific angle to the print, to avoid glare. I'm slightly curious about "cross polarizing", but unfortunately I don't have polarizing filters large enough for lights. Any insight will be helpful. Thanks!

Ed Gonzalez for Sheriff

Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
A stout boot for hard charging ladies Burly flex, high overlap cuff construction, asymmetrical bellows, oh yea! The Scott Minerva has everything you need and nothing you don't. The flex is slightly softer than the Men's Scott Voodoo but still plenty stiff to drive fat skis and provides plenty of confidence in high speed situations. Asymmetrical bellows give a natural feeling flex and prevent hot-spots. All this power comes in at an impressively low weight too. To achieve all this performance Scott uses four different injections to create a lower shell with just the right properties. Even though the Minerva crushes on the downhill, it rips on the way up too. A huge 46 degrees of cuff rotation allows for restriction free touring. Lock catches on the cuff buckles allow you to open up the buckles without losing your setting on the ladders. Plus, Scott's PWR Tour Liners offer plenty of warmth and comfort for any tour. With a heat moldable liner, adjustable canting, removable cuff spoilers, and micro adjust buckles, the Minerva can be customized for virtually any user. But it can't be customized for 75mm bindings, so if that's what you have check out the Scott Minerva 75mm. Features & Benefits a 100mm last. a Thermo-moldable PWR Tour liner. a 46 degrees of cuff rotation. a 13 degree forward lean.

Dudes fancy themselves pretty good skiers, but c'mon--how many times have you blown past some guy as he was trying to figure out how many times he could fall on the same pitch' Not that you need it, but the Scott Minerva NTN Women's Telemark Boot will help you show up the boys even more than you already do. Only the hard-charginigest of the hard-chargers willneed a boot with a burlier flex than the Minerva's progressive 120, and theasymmetrical bellows are designed to offer plenty of resistance without tossingsmaller riders onto their heels. Throw in a rugged Pebax shell and fourseparate injection panels to keep the lower boot laterally stiff, and you'll behard pressed to show the Minerva a line it can't handle. Don't be under the impression that the Minerva is a foot- and soul-crushingtorture device, though. Scott built it with a snug but comfortable 100mm last,and hooked up a fully-moldable, women's-specific EZFit Rapid Liner that'll holdyou solidly in place without squeezing out any tears or curse words. It's alsoa fully-capable backcountry boot, with an easy ski/walk switch that gives you agenerous 46 degrees of cuff rotation, making it as easy to access your lines asit is to crush 'em. Even the buckles are thoughtfully designed, having theability to stay wide open when released, so you don't struggle getting into andout of your boots. If you can think of something Scott missed, send a telegram and it'll get added next year.

I'VE never been one for gore. I'm rubbish at having blood taken, not overly keen on tomato ketchup and feel positively queasy at the sight of an uncooked sausage.
I reckon I'm probably haemophobic. However, I would rather think I know my limits and am more than happy to stay safely ensconced within their comfortable borders.
Now if I was to ponder long and hard about this, which I will, otherwise this would be a pretty short column, I would say my psychological foible stems from growing up as a teenager in the era of video nasties.
It wasn't Margaret Thatcher, stone washed denim and Arthur Scargill's hair that scared me back then, horrifying although they were, it was the collective heart attacks of such delightful VHS fare as Evil Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Driller Killer.
Save Alice Cooper's predilection for decapitation and Ozzy Osbourne's love of bat snacking, never has so much fake blood and entrails been splattered in the name of entertainment.
The golden era of ET, Star Wars and Ghostbusters unfortunately also brought us such frightening things as shoulder pads, leg warmers and the mullet.
All the full horror of my rather timorous past came heaving (literally) into full view a few days ago as I found myself, on an otherwise normal Saturday afternoon sat in the dark watching a zombie scoop out someone's brains for an impromptu snack.
Not only did it take the edge right off my popcorn, it made me feel hugely relieved I didn't go for the hotdog.
You're obviously asking yourself, given my bloodlust averse confession, what the hell was I thinking? The answer to this perfectly valid question lies in last week's column, when you may remember my 14-year-old niece Georgina had come to spend her half term with us.
Having a little daughter, my world revolves around what a four-year-old enjoys – in my experience – cake, dancing and being thrown in the air until either you or they vomit.
I was a 14-year-old three decades ago and was also a boy, so my knowledge of what a teenage girl enjoys can be happily scrawled on the back of a postage stamp.
After a weekend where I let my niece choose what film I took her to see, I now realise one of these things include fancying peaky looking actor Nicholas Hoult in a film (Warm Bodies) about a living corpse who previously enjoyed stumbling around chewing on humans, before he falls in love with one of them to a soundtrack solely constructed from the over-earnest strummings of navel-gazing troubadours from the United States.
The last time I saw Nicholas Hoult on the big screen was when he was that annoying pint-sized kid with the pudding bowl haircut from About A Boy; the one that was more irritating than Hugh Grant. No mean feat granted.
That he is now around five and a half foot taller and his sole dialogue appears to consist of "uuurrrggghh" and "oooorrrggghh" was a shock to the system.
Still my niece was happy. And why shouldn't she be?
It seems the netherworld of vampires, werewolves and zombies continues to fascinate.
Just look at the huge success of the Twilight franchise and the return of Being Human to our screens, all securing a dedicated following among a teenage audience as entranced by these gothic fantasies as much as they are bewitched by the hypnotic powers of Facebook.
For my part, I saw a potential glimpse into my future and fatherhood trials yet to come.
And that was a hair-raising thought scarier than any zombie movie I've ever seen.

Samantha Benton
I am against evil and incompetence, nothing is too hard to obtain with a little back bone, brains and a strong will. I believe in working very hard to complete goals we set in life to make this world a little better everyday, and to never give up on dreams just because a road in life seems challenging. I uphold real justice, honor and loyalty, and always give appropriate respect to those who understand the real price for it. I hope that with more gentleness in human hearts, unneeded problems will disappear and with time we can all have intelligence that surpasses the atrocious need to claim how violence and suffering is needed on this Planet. We are not born violent, nor did we come out with guns, bombs, and weapons. We were all born pure and clean of sin (in the form of any wrongdoing), there is no reason to uphold anything different than that. I can never truly smile knowing others cannot.
Samantha hasn't started any petitions yet.

The hours-of-service (HOS) regulations for commercial drivers are "arguably the single-most important regulation to the motor carrier industry," according to the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) and its Executive Director Stephen Keppler.
The alliance is upset that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is changing regulations related to HOS again less than a year after changes being fully implemented.
Confusion about HOS whether it be for agricultural products transport or livestock carriers or non-agriculture products seem to be confusing to everyone including the enforcement officers, the transportation companies and the drivers.
"Legislating changes to the HOS rules now, not even a year since becoming effective, creates significant uniformity and consistency problems across the country. The results of this legislative action will create unnecessary upheaval for the states and cause significant operational and budgetary impacts on their enforcement efforts.
"In addition, constant change causes confusion for both industry and enforcement. Compliance and the determination thereof are nearly impossible because the rules have changed so often over the last 10 years, and have become so complicated that no one can keep pace with the changes. This constant back and forth also has resulted in a number of narrow interpretations on exceptions and exemptions.
"Finally, the hours-of-service regulations have continuously been litigated over the course of the last number of years, which also has complicated the process for having an effective set of rules," Keppler noted in a recent letter.
"While there certainly have been legitimate concerns raised by the regulated industry on the impacts of the new rules, the Administrative Procedures Act is there for a reason and it needs to be followed. The importance of these rules cannot be understated, and to make changes without the appropriate analysis of their impacts or without providing appropriate due process and adequate time to implement them is irresponsible policy" Keppler went on to contend.
CVSA is calling for a comprehensive study on the safety and operational impacts of HOS regulations while the current 2013 rules remain in place. Keppler said, "Once this analysis has been completed, only then would it be appropriate to consider any changes or adjustments through the rulemaking process."

Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara Reviews
Better than Benefit BadGal, Cargo TexasLash, Maybelline the Falsieshave been looking for a decent drugstore mascara for ages, i was so in love with Maybelline's Lash Expansion but of course it was discontinued. This mascara is hands down better than Benefit's BadGal because I have the waterproof version and it flakes minimally if at all versus the BadGal-it goes everywhere if you put more than one coat on, it's terrible!!! my lashes are defined and volumized with...read more this mascara, if you want super duper length and curl-you should use a lash curler anyway. I will repurchase this, which says alot about this product. i didn't give it a 10 because a 10 would have to be "moves heaven and earth and everything in between, and i don't think i've ever found a product to do that yet!" =) — 6 years, 10 months agoJennieT | 23 reviews
Eh...I love Neutrogena makeup for my face. I swear by it, especially since I have dry, sensitive skin, so I thought I would give the mascara a whirl. I absolutely loved this mascara when I put it on. My lashes were very full (they are naturally long and thin) and it didn't clump at all, even after several coats. Problem was, at the end of the day, my co-worker asked if I had shaken a toner cartridg...read moree...because I had that much flaking under my eyes. Upon inspection, it really was that bad. Bummer. I bought the waterproof version. Thinking maybe based on the reviews, it could have just been the tube I bought. Maybe I'll try it again, but not anytime soon. — 6 years, 11 months agodgraves0202 | 2 reviews
A Must HaveI'm a drugstore mascara fiend. I buy a new thing of mascara at least once a week, so I've tried nearly all and this is definitely at the top of my list. It makes your lashes incredibly full and natural looking without clumping or making them look fake. My eyelashes are extremely short and straight but after curling them and putting this on they look amazingggg. — 7 years, 2 months agoemmalayx3 | 8 reviews
very nice!Very lightweight, doesn't clump and the lashes look awesome! I wish they were like this all the time! It's more suited however for daytime, rather that nighttime (not really dramatic). — 7 years, 5 months agoModelina | 18 reviews
Magic!I was pretty disappointed when I first put it on. It didn't really add too much volume to my lashes, but once I took it off at night, my eyelashes seemed to be longer and thicker and there seemed to be more of them. I don't really know how to explain it, but it was like magic. It kind of grew on me and I'm beginning to use it more and more. I used it just recently and my lashes look more voluminous after two coats. — 7 years, 6 months agosuperhungry | 10 reviews
no clumps, soft non-brittle lashesThis has natural ingredients and never feels hard, like your lashes are breaking. It never flakes or gets clumpy during the day, and best of all-it washes off easily without leaving a bunch of dark marks behind. Other mascaras tend to not only crumble by the end of the day, but they leave black remains in my eye after washing it off-gross but true-and you will never get that with this..love it!! a...read morelso-some complain that the brush is too big, but I personally only like mascaras with big wands, and that is what I think gives it extra volume!! — 7 years, 10 months agofashionbeautylove | 16 reviews
Good but kinda clumpyThis is a good product for lots of volume but the brush is kind of clumpy I de-glumpify it on a square of toilet paper. Also, it certainly is waterproof. — 7 years, 10 months agoSelenaAleena | 13 reviews
Not a fanAdmittedly, I have a hard time finding mascaras. But, this one doesn't work for me. Ironically, it both smudges off during the day, but won't come off at night. By the end of the day, I look like I've been crying. However, the following morning, I am still pulling off mascara from my lashes with toner after they've been washed twice. Not even eye makeup remover will remove it completely. I'm going back to Cover Girl. — 7 years, 11 months agorichchipper | 1 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful
No clumps!I've used a lot of different mascaras and very few of them don't clump when applying. This one falls in that catagory. No frills, full brush, easy application. It may not be the best mascara for those who are looking to build up tiny lashes, but for a natural look, this is a good one. — 7 years, 11 months agogirlscout | 83 reviews
Great volume!I absolutely love this mascara! It's one of the view voluminous mascaras that actually delivers, I have it in waterproof so it's a little tough to remove, but it definitely gets the job done. It does a get a little messy if you aren't being careful, it'll rub on your lid, but it's still a 10 in my book! I'd recommend this to anyone! — 8 years agorebeccalucielle | 15 reviews

|The bottom of this is an EXCELLENT bouldering problem. Pull the overhanging crack, then keep going up (right) to the ledge and top out on the easy ramp. Very cool. I believe the climb itself goes straight up the arete, for which you will want a rope unless you are very brave and good!!!

We are in the installation process for a Casa100 and are about to pour our hearth. I have two questions. First, is there any advantage to setting the FB board in the concrete after pouring, i.e. before it is fully cured. Does the board adhere somewhat to the concrete? I understand that you don't want to set it in the wet concrete, but after it has set a bit. Second, regarding the cooking floor. The instructions for the Casa100 say to mortar the cooking floor pieces together using the Refmix type mortar. I notice the instructions for the new Casa2 series ovens have you just setting the cooking floor tiles in fine sand. Why the difference? Is the new system better, or are the floor tiles different in some way?

[Plugin: Profile Builder] Image Extra Field path incorrect if uploaded via admin interface
Note: I am still developing this site and running it on my mac using MAMP
I have extra fields set up for my users so that they can upload a number of images. The type is set to upload for each. When using the site based form this works perfectly, but if I want to upload an image to an existing profile as the site administrator and go into WordPress Admin -> Users -> user_X and upload the images there it saves an incorrect file path. Basically it misses off the /wordpress/ part of the url, I have the site setup so that /wordpress/ doesn't show in the urls therefore the 'home' url in the options table does not have /wordpress appended to the url and wonder if this may be the issue?

If I want to put a cake in the freezer (uniced) for a few days, should I put the simple syrup on before I freeze it?
Yes, i would torte it, simple syrup each side(not wet it) wrap good and freeze. That is what i would do. Others may do different.
I always freeze my cakes, and have never used simple syrup. I just wrap my cakes in saran wrap and then a layer of tinfoil. I wrap them while they are still warm from the oven which makes them nice and moist.
I freeze my whole cake and torte it later. I let it thaw a bit in the refrigerator to make it easier to cut but still not room temp...makes crumb coating easier. I don't use simple syrup usually but I have used Khalua as a 'syrup' spread on chocolate cake...but again, I do it after I've torted.
I always freeze cooled cakes and the reason is, that I've had warm cakes form condensation and actually make them soggy. I just wrap tightly in several layers of saran wrap and take the wrap off before letting it come to room temp.
Thanks everyone.
I've had trouble freezing cake with simple syrup already on it...the syrup seems to go gritty. I would apply the syrup after thawing.
I simple syrup if needed, torte and crumb coat before freezing quiet often. Life is good.

homemade cloth baby shoes
I printed out this pattern months ago from Stardust Shoes, but never tried it. I came across it again while organizing my craft supplies over the weekend, and it is all I've been able to think about!
This is attempt #2 - the first try turned out ok, put looked plain without the ribbon and had more frayed edges than I cared for. So I just made a few small changes to the pattern by finishing off a few extra seams to clean it up a bit. Also, instead of using fleece for the sole, I used the same suede fabric and floral lining with warm n' natural batting in between.
It is a quick, easy and extremely satisfying project - I highly recommend it! You can find the pattern here.
I foresee this project becoming an addiction!

The Mavericks frontman RAUL MALO has paid tribute to late country icon EDDY ARNOLD with a touching appreciation of the singer/songwriter in the Los Angeles Times newspaper.
The There Goes My Heart singer's letter to the Times credits Arnold with writing "some of the most beautiful music ever".
In the appreciation, which appears in Tuesday's (20May08) Times, Malo writes, "There were no rhinestone suits, no affairs with movie stars, no drug problems, no nothing... just great music.
"Early in my career, I had the pleasure (or audacity, really) of singing (Arnold hit) Make The World Go Away for a television show.
"Several months after that, I had the good fortune of meeting Arnold. He leaned into me to tell me how much he enjoyed my version of his song.
"I bragged about that for months. Apparently I haven't stopped."
Arnold died on 8 May (08). He was 89.

Renewable Energy: The Easier Path Forward
When it comes to building new power plants, many developers are hitting brick walls. One challenge is investor reluctance to participate in risky capex projects. The other is the regulator's reluctance to permit new sources of air, land and water pollution. The only path around that wall is to consider wind, solar and energy efficiency.
Texas offers a case study that may help explain the challenge. Today, the state is chronically short power plant capacity. Over time, its capacity is expected to get worse. The state's largest grid, Electric Reliability Council of Texas warned, "With tight operating reserves expected this summer, it is likely that ERCOT will initiate conservation alerts or power watches on some days."...687 more words left in this article.

SAITAMA – Urawa Reds restarted their season on an emphatic note Sunday, pummeling J. League champion Nagoya Grampus 3-0 in their home opener and handing Zeljko Petrovic his first win as manager for the former Asian champion.
In an unusually uninspiring performance from Dragan Stojkovic's Grampus, Marcio Richardes and Tatsuya Tanaka struck during the first half before Genki Haraguchi bagged Urawa's third after the break.
Petrovic, the former West Ham United assistant who played for Reds from 1997 to 2000, beat Stojkovic in their first meeting as coaches. The two were teammates on Yugoslavia's 1998 World Cup squad.
"I'm very pleased with the performance of my team, especially the pressing in the first half," said Petrovic. "All our players fought with a samurai spirit.
"I'm thrilled to see us compete the way we did against one of the best teams in the J. League. I hope we can keep this up."
Stojkovic, whose team was coming off a midweek away win over FC Seoul in the Asian Champions League, offered no excuses for the lopsided defeat.
"A very hard game for us, definitely," Stojkovic said. "Even 3-0 is a good result for us. It could have been much worse for us.
"Defensively, offensively, we were not good. I couldn't recognize my team. We played very bad today and we deserved to lose. We couldn't control the ball, easy balls. When you make these technical mistakes, you pay the price — and we paid the price."
Added Grampus striker Josh Kennedy, "We didn't really come, did we? We didn't really start well. They came out with a lot of pressure and a lot of fighting which is what we wanted to do.
"They wanted it more. They fought more, they kicked more, they ran more. And that's why they won the game."
Reds, who lost their season opener 1-0 at Vissel Kobe on March 6, capitalized on Nagoya's lethargy right from the start, feeding off the energy of a Saitama Stadium crowd of 42,767 to take a two-goal lead into halftime.
Marcio Richardes, the Brazilian import from Albirex Niigata, opened his Urawa account in the 12th minute after Tanaka lashed out at the Nagoya goal.
Reigning league MVP Seigo Narazaki parried away the stinging effort, but Marcio Richardes mopped up the loose ball.
Tanaka himself made it 2-0 after 25 minutes when the hosts linked superbly over the last third of the pitch.
The visitors tried to claw their way back into the game in the second half, but Haraguchi virtually killed off all hopes of a Nagoya comeback with his first goal of the campaign in the 78th minute.
The match marked Nagoya defender Marcus Tulio Tanaka's return to Saitama as a member of Grampus, who he signed with in 2010 after six seasons at Urawa. The center-back did not make the trip to Saitama last year because of a suspension.
Sunday was also Tulio's 30th birthday.
"It's turned out to be a horrible birthday," he said. "It's always great to play in front of these fans here. It's a shame, because I was so pumped up to win today."
Elsewhere in J1, Sanfrecce Hiroshima thrashed Gamba Osaka 4-1 at the Big Arch through goals by Tadanari Lee, Koji Morisaki, Mihael Mikic and Hisato Sato.
Albirex drew 1-1 at home to Jubilo Iwata, while Montedio and Cerezo Osaka fought to a goalless draw in Yamagata.

I've been struggling to get SS working on my old webhost, but I'm just about ready to give up if I simply can't get all the needed requirements in place for SS to work correctly. Can I just clarify all the necessities for installing SS on IIS 6.0?
- MySQL 5.0++
- IIS 5.x++
- Windows Server (not sure which version)
Is there something else that I am missing? Is the URL Rewrite mod something that is an absolute necessity? Despite having most of the following in place, I am still getting errors when attempting to install SS on my development site and it's getting very tiresome to have to go back and forth between my hosting provider because of some minor configuration issue.
Short of changing webhosts, what else can I do?


text: How Close is Molecular Computing? August 20, 2012 Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology By Bruce Harmon, Ph.D., CTU Doctoral Chair of Computer Science While it may seem like science fiction, modern advances in semiconductor manufacturing meant to support denser integrated circuits, or chips, will soon have us trying to imprint transistors and interconnect of a size less than ten nanometers. According to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors, known throughout the world as the ITRS, this scale will be near the size of individual molecules. This progress raises the question: could molecules be made to serve as transistors and interconnect? This question first sparked my interest about twelve years ago when colleagues of mine at HP Laboratories began to publish results on the subject. Having worked with the research team just two years prior, I traveled to Palo Alto, California, to meet with the scientists and better understand their work. They were able to demonstrate that a rotaxane molecule could be electrically induced to one of two states: the basis for an element of memory, and one that had rudimentary interconnect. Keeping Up with Moore's Law The motivation for using molecules as transistors is rooted in the extraordinary progress made in semiconductor manufacturing over the last forty years. Ever since Gordon Moore of Intel made his famous prediction, dubbed Moore's Law, that we would double the density of transistors on integrated circuits every two years, the exponential growth in circuit density has led to the ubiquity of chips that power our everyday devices. From tablets and computers, to smart phones and highly complex automobiles, chips are the lifeline of modern electronics. Attempts to stay on track with Moore's Law have become increasingly difficult when attempting to use photolithography to imprint circuit features on silicon that are a fraction of the wavelength of the illumination source. Resulting diffraction has challenged manufacturers and led to sharp increases in the cost of modern manufacturing. While we seem close, the promise of extreme ultra-violet illumination sources needed to imprint at a molecular scale is still outside our reach. Looking Ahead Faced with inherent challenges of photolithography, researchers all over the globe have been seeking suitable molecules that could be made to self-assemble. The most promising to date has been the carbon nanotube, an array of carbon atoms, each sharing four outer electrons with its neighbor and bound into an elongated cylinder about 5 – 15 times its diameter in length. Each molecule would be composed of between 20 – 60 atoms and has been shown to control current much like a transistor. The interconnect could be formed using graphene, a thin ribbon just one atom thick and extracted from graphite; which has proven to be exceptionally strong structurally and an excellent conductor. While we are many years from solving all the problems necessary for molecules to serve as the basis for electronic circuits, we are off to a promising start. Like microchips today, we can expect extremely small computing engines to allow for molecular computing to become ubiquitous, as well. They will be interconnected through wireless technology, communicating with each other and humans. The adoption of mobile computing and communications will skyrocket further, changing all of our lives for the better. Have a question or prediction about molecular computing?

Dark. It is so dark. It is hemming me in and I don't know what to do. There is no light. Just an eternity of black: oceans of ebony and heavens of charcoal. Then one by one, figures start to emerge.
Lights flare up in the sky before somehow turning into lampposts. A cobbled street forms under my feet, brick by brick. Houses and alleys are on either side. They seem to move when I look through the corner of my eye; when I turn, they stay motionless. I must be imagining things.
Then a force pushes me diagonally. I stumble. And right in front of me is an alley. I would have never seen it if I hadn't stumbled. I stand up, dust myself down and creep into the alley.
Shadows stalk the small side street as I warily look around. There seems to be nothing to worry about. All that was bothering me was my nerves - they were really reacting tonight.
The lurid lane lies dismal and gloomy. There are coal-coloured cobbles on the ground and shadowy stones on either side of me. Empty cardboard boxes that had been trampled on fill the street. That and some red stains -
Something is behind me. I can sense something as well. My blood chills as cold as the night. There doesn't seem to be anything behind me - I've checked. I know subconsciously there is something going on. Something horrible. Something ghastly. Something -
I turn quickly. Phew! It is just Matt, my boyfriend. He strides over to me and kisses me on the lips. I sink into that kiss. It was so vivid and dreamy. Just beautiful.
There is pain. So much pain.
I look down towards my body. There is a gaping hole. I can see the entry hole, seeping with crimson blood. The exit wound will be even more terrible. Thank God I can't look at it. But, ironically, that wasn't the biggest pain.
I am going to die and that wasn't the biggest pain! It was the fact that the boy whom I trusted doesn't love me. My heart weeps. A little bit of my heart disappeared along with half my stomach when I was shot.
That boy walks away from the scene of his crime. Before he leaves, he looks straight into my eyes and winks. That just finishes me off. I grab a stone from beside me and hit him on the head.
He falls down to the ground, clutching at his head. Yet somehow he drags himself off the alleyway. Somehow, somehow.
The lights fade away. I'm escorted to another place.

Basically did a test film swapping lenses ( between a 40mm and 80mm ) every few shots. After development some of the shots ( I think the 80mm ) are blank. I took the shots using the following :- wind film/cock shutter setup exposure on lens took shot wind film/cock shutter Swap lens setup exposure on lens took shot For each shot I took with the two lenses to test the differences to work out the two lenses for the final shoots. Any ideas what the problem is? Thanks Kat

It makes no sense to let the carcasses of big-game go to waste on Montana's roadways, supporters said.
"It really is a sin to waste a good meat," said state Sen. Larry Jent, D-Bozeman.
The measure calls for law-enforcement officers to issue permits to individuals who would be allowed to remove the carcasses of elk, deer, antelope and moose off the state's roadways. An earlier version would have allowed fur-bearing animals, upland game birds and migratory game birds to be scraped up, too, but it got canned.
Opponents question whether the meat would be safe and whether it would create liability issues for food banks that accept it. Sen. Kendall Van Dyk, D-Billings, said law-enforcement officers are not qualified to decide whether roadkill is safe to eat.

Alexander Ovechkin played with broken foot against New York Rangers
Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin played the decisive Games 6 and 7 of his team's first round loss to the New York Rangers with a broken foot, a source tells the Washington Post.
The Post's Katie Carrera reports that Ovechkin, who scored only one goal and one assist in the series, broke his foot while blocking a series of shots during the 1st period of Game 6.
The injury couldn't be exacerbated by playing, though, so Ovechkin remained in Game 6 and suited up for Game 7. The Capitals lost and were shut out in both of those games, ending their season.
Ovechkin is a nominee for both the Hart Trophy, awarded to the league's most valuable player, and the Ted Lindsay Award, awarded to the league's most outstanding player as voted by the players. He also led the league in goals during the regular season.

With just over a year to go before the General Election, George Osborne will likely put politics to the fore in his fifth Budget on Wednesday, hoping he can convince enough voters that his policies are taking the country's economy in the right direction.
He will be looking to strike the right balance between sensible housekeeping and policies which promote continued economic growth while, at the same time, ensure he is being seen by the wider electorate to be cracking down on individuals and employers not paying their fair share in tax.
Almost all commentators would agree that we are seeing a significant improvement in the UK economy, including encouraging signs for Scotland. The UK is back to pre-recession growth levels, forecast to outperform the rest of Europe in the year ahead.
Loading article content
Overall, there is a notable step change in business confidence and we have witnessed that here in Scotland, with our firm increasingly active in the deal market over the past nine months. We will certainly see further attempts to close tax loopholes used by companies and higher earners. The new rules governing the taxation of Limited Liability Partnerships, for example, could find mainly higher-earning individuals being re-classified as being employed rather than self-employed, a change which could have a significant impact on their annual tax liability. Mr Osborne will also likely reiterate his 2013 Budget announcement to target the use of schemes such as offshore employment intermediaries, which have been set up by some firms to avoid PAYE and NIC.
Alongside these measures to tighten up on avoidance, the Chancellor will be looking to keep UK investment levels on the rise. With this in mind, it is likely we will see an extension to the annual investment allowance of £250,000 beyond this calendar year allowing businesses to get a 100% tax deduction for capital expenditure.
Although the outlook is positive, this recovery remains a fragile one, so many in the business community will be hoping to see a sensible Budget without huge pre-election giveaways. The further raising of the personal allowance, a measure which the Liberal Democrats have been driving, is certainly an odds-on favourite but I suspect that Mr Osborne may also want to raise the 40% threshold to support the increasingly "squeezed middle" while, at the same time, diffusing cost of living arguments which are being fielded by Labour.
Given the sensitive nature of the recovery, the business community will be hoping that Mr Osborne will leave existing corporate finance initiatives alone. The Business Growth Fund and Funding for Lending Scheme are two examples of Government-supported incentives which have been successful in helping to get funds into UK companies. Any diminishing of these schemes could stifle the current upturn and should be resisted.
What is certain is that the Chancellor will use his Wednesday Budget speech as a platform to promote the success of austerity policies. With economic forecasts and a number of positive business confidence surveys to quote from, he also won't miss the opportunity of underlining the politics behind the emerging upturn.
These politics could also touch on Scotland in advance of September's independence referendum with some real potential for Mr Osborne to make some political points in an attempt to thwart the Yes campaign. He may, for example, look to further reduce corporation tax to 20% and challenge the First Minister on whether he could he match this in an independent Scotland.
Although Scotland has fared relatively well, there is still a significant gap between the recovery north of the Border and London, as highlighted last week in Strathclyde University's Fraser of Allander Institute report. Mr Osborne may take this Budget and the particular sensitivities around timing to extend the Government's regional incentive programme through increased regional selective assistance grants, cash subsidies and targeted tax reliefs for investment. This would be widely welcomed in Scotland by the business community, although I suspect the Yes campaign may be sceptical of the timing.
As we approach the independence vote and the 2015 General Election, the Chancellor will want to demonstrate that we are starting to see a gain from the pain of the past four years of Government restraint but he will also not want to start giving away too many sweeteners which could halt the recent progress. Like most Budgets, this one will be a tricky balancing act.

On the same block Carmine's recently applied for similar late night hours. I don't believe Carmine's would truly use all the hours they applied for as they currently do not stay open late in NYC. Many applicants ask for more the maximum hours regardless of what they intend to use. However Hill Country does keep a bar open late in NYC and I'd speculate would likely intend to use all the hours for which they apply. I'm sure they'll speak to their plans at this ANC meeting.

Penn Jillette, one half of Penn and Teller, slams "carnival barker" Donald Trump in his new book, "Every Day is an Atheist Holiday." An excerpt of the book was posted on Salon.com and also included a slam on his head:
"Trump's hair is a lot better than mine—but as I sat there for hours half listening to Donald carry on, it struck me exactly what his hair looked like. It looks like cotton candy made of piss."
Penn Jillette had more to say about Donald Trump's ridiculous show, "The Celebrity Apprentice:"
"The Celebrity Apprentice" is easy like junior high is easy. All the arithmetic, the creative writing and the history are super simple, but like junior high, you do that easy work surrounded by people who are full-tilt hormone-raging bugnutty. Everyone is panicked, desperate, yelling, swearing, attacking, backstabbing, failing to get laid and acting crazy. With all this drama, any sane person just wants to do more algebra. "The Celebrity Apprentice" is junior high with a better brand of acne cover-up.
Penn Jillette also targeted Clay Aiken in the book:
'One day while shooting, I'd had a heart-to-heart talk with Clay Aiken. I would have preferred waterboarding. I don't like heart-to-heart talks with anyone, but Clay Aiken? Strap me to the board, and put the wet towels over my face. Drowning sounds nice.'

Check Out The Trailer For "The Conjuring" [VIDEO]
I love the lady in this film. Her name is Vera Farmiga and she plays Norman Bates mother in the t.v. series "Bates Motel". There is just an underlying creepiness that this lady brings to each of her roles. She obviously has a good agent too, she has six movies coming out. If you get a chance, catch up with "Bates Motel" on demand. It's a pretty good show and they're doing a great job of develping the Norman Bates character. More after the jump.
Where do I get a job as a paranormal investigator? It seems like a lot of people have made a buck giving 'demons' a good shoo-shooing. This story is the tale of two investigators and their most intense case ever. I don't know if it's supposed to be based on a 'true' story or not, but it looks like it will be a pretty good horror film. There's lots of flying kids, demons and spooky stuff. Check out the trailer for "The Conjuring" now:

OFS Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:OFS), a business development company (BDC), announced today that it received approval from the Small Business Administration (SBA) to acquire the remaining limited and general partnership interests of Tamarix Capital Partners, L.P., a small business investment company (SBIC Fund). OFS Capital acquired the interests on December 4, 2013, which will result in the SBIC Fund becoming a wholly-owned drop-down subsidiary of OFS Capital. The drop-down is anticipated to be finalized within the next 30 days and is contingent on OFS Capital meeting the SBA's document delivery and capital funding requirements. In addition, OFS Capital's exemptive relief application to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) became effective on November 26, 2013. The exemptive relief allows OFS Capital to exclude SBA guaranteed indebtedness from the definition of senior securities in the statutory 200% asset coverage ratio, allowing for greater capital deployment. "This is a long anticipated and significant milestone for OFS Capital," stated Glenn Pittson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OFS Capital. "The SBA's approval will permit us to more than double the size of the SBIC Fund, and coupled with the exemptive relief we received from the SEC, we are now positioned to increase the pace of our direct lending investment activities with expanded financing capacity." OFS Capital acquired the partnership interests for approximately $8.1 million. Prior to the acquisition, OFS Capital had funded approximately $10.0 million of the SBIC Fund's $15.4 million in paid in capital. In connection with the acquisition, all employees of the SBIC Fund's investment adviser, including its founder, Mark Hauser, will join the investment adviser of the BDC. "We are pleased that our hard work and diligence with OFS Capital over the last year has brought this transaction to a successful completion," said Mark Hauser. "We are excited to be part of the OFS team, where we can leverage our past transaction experience and continue to provide creative, flexible capital to lower middle-market companies."
