Hello and thanks for your help. My daughter (age 22) and I will be flying from London to Cape Town arriving 8 June at 10:00am. We leave for Botswana on 12 June. There are so many wonderful things to do but I have no idea what makes the most sense logistically and which activities are combineable. We are going to have to come back as we can't do everything but here are some of our "must dos" and "nice to dos." I would appreciate your help in organizing our time. We will have a driver as I don't feel comfortable driving. We are also open to suggestions for a first time visitor.
Must do:
Table Mountain
Robben Island
City Tour
Wine Tasting (2 wineries and a nice lunch. WE like both red and white. Interested to see beautiful scenery. We are from San Francisco so enjoy this kind of activity but a half day is fine)
Uthando Tour
Other things we'd like to do :
Penguins (Simon's Town or Cape Town Central?)
Jewish Museum
The Great Synagogue
District 6 Museum
Interactive activity with animals
I think we would have some bandwidth to do a short activity the day we arrive, maybe outside where we can walk or one museum. Thanks for your help.

Need Help Organizing our time in Cape Town - 3.5 days in June

Very high on my list would be a drive around the Cape Peninsula, driving more or less the perimeter of the Peninsula, to Cape of Good Hope and back, including stretch on Chapman's Peak Drive. We saw dozens of whales when we did this, along with assorted ostrich, baboon, antelope, birds. You can do Simonstown, viewing penguins, on this trip.
I would not look for "animal encounter" in a planned format since you are heading for Botswana.
Table Mountain should be on list, for certain, but this is weather dependent.
I've been to the city twice, for a week each time, and have not yet made it to Robben Island. Be aware that you need advance tickets for this, if you decide to include.
Have you booked dinner reservations????

WE just got back from Cape Town...You can do District 6 museum and the Jewish Museum/Holocaust Center all in half a day and they are near each other. Call ahead to get a private tour of District 6 museum…not expensive and more meaningful. Maybe do this the day you arrive…unless its a beautiful day then maybe go to Table Mountain so you are sure to get that in and don't have to worry about weather.
You can do the Winelands in half a day if you want to do an early morning shift..two wineries and then lunch at Jordan or Bread & Wine…then on the way back from the Winelands get a tour of a Township…we did Langa but I think you mentioned another. You can hire a driver/guide for the day to do this…we used PG Tops Tours and had Yolanda and Roelf who were fantastic.
Also..on the way back from winelands we did the Cougar reserve and got to touch a Cougar (but don't think you can do that and the township tour)
Table Mountain a 2 to 3 hour activity and very weather dependent. Get your tickets ahead of time..they are good for 2 weeks. Robben Island is also weather dependent and you have to pick a day and time so get those right away and that could be a 4 hour activity. Could do Table Mountain and Robben Island on same day…not near each other so will need cabs.
The Penninsula tour is a full day tour with Penguins, sightseeing and visit an Ostrich Farm and you can feed the Ostrich..very fun. Again we used PG Tops for this…fabulous private tour.
Fun great restaurant is The Grand Cafe and Beach. A fabulous restaurant is La Colombe but it is a half hour out of Cape Town. If you want to eat at Test Kitchen..make reservations right away..they book up over 3 months in advance.
For a bit more money…you can get a private tour of Robben Island that you may find more meaningful.

Hi! I am living in Cape Town
Try keep Robben Island and Wine Tasting in the week… Weekends can be very very busy!
There are various routes up Table Mountain… do you want to walk it or take the cable car? We actually walked it today- we relatively fit and took about 1 and half hour going up and 45 min coming down. Nice to do on a morning or afternoon. Maybe try do on the day you arrive- as its a saturday it will be busy which is good safety wise. If you taking the cable cars maybe opt for a quieter time in the week and book ahead.
Penguins you could see at Boulders Beach (also on a day when weather permits)
Jewish Museum, The Great Synagogue and District 6 Museum are very close to each other so do those together. They are in town so if you want to see the city centre maybe do this all on the same day. Also near by is The V&A Waterfront- very good for shopping!
There are a lot of city tours and some more specific that others. for example I am an architecture student and do a lot of architecture based tours…
Let me know if you need any more advise! remember to bring warm clothes-very cold and rainy here in June.
Lovely interesting restaurants around, some fun, some fancy, some not, some experimental… shout if you want advise

We also usually arrive on that 10am flight from Heathrow. Our favourite first day, when we are both exhausted from the flights, is to check in at our accommodation and then head to Rhode's Memorial for lunch. Lovely views of the city/harbour and great food - a wonderful way to start your visit. Book ahead online - it is very popular.
From Rhodes, depending on the weather and the state of the clouds over the mountain, we either head up Table Mtn on the cable car or go for a walk around the botanical gardens (Kirstenbosch).
A not-too-taxing first day, but with a couple of highlights covered! CR

For Robben Island, consider buying tickets ahead of time. We visited Cape Town several months ago and were unable to get tickets because of the volume of visitors. Apparently it was a school holiday.
Also, the penguins at Boulder's Beach are just charming. Definitely worth a visit. I also loved Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. It's like stepping into Narnia!

We are from SF wine country also & have been there 5 times. Stellenbosch & Constantia wineries are close to get to from Capetown. The Old Bisquit Mill shops/ farmers market is great!Well worth doing the Cape Peninsula tour with seeing the Ostrich farm on the way, Penguins at Boulders Beach. Table Mountain is a must if weather good & they now have the new Boomslang walkway over Kirstenbosch Botanical gardens. Plenty of baboons at the Cape & the Spiers wild bird Reserve is wonderful in Stellenbosch. La Societe restaurant one of the best!

I would also recommend hiring a guide/driver to get you around all places smoothly & you will feel relaxed/no worries. I can recommend some local fabulous guides if you need.

WWF Raw
Review by Rottenwood
"Yay! Another Rushed Wrasslin' Game!"
There are a lot of wrestling fans in the video game community, so it's no surprise that wrestling games are huge sellers. Grappling fans often have their own ideas for wrestling angles, dream matches, and all of that good stuff, so the ability to play those out in a video game is very appealing. All a game developer would have to do is construct a game with a huge roster, tons of play options, a solid grappling system, and a competent story mode, and wrestling nuts would be in mat heaven. But naturally, THQ has discovered that said wrestling nuts are so hardcore that they'll buy any wrestling title as soon as it hits the shelves, so there's no real need to take the time and resources required to put a game together properly. With 'Smackdown 3' for the PlayStation 2 and now 'Raw is War' for the X-Box, we've been saddled with two fairly promising games that have been hampered by the sloppiness that comes with rush-job development.
Just about everything in this game is a mixed bag, including the wrestling engine itself. The striking-and-grappling system is rather like 'No Mercy' for the Nintendo 64, although it's a bit faster and less smooth. Unfortunately, it also adds 'grogginess,' which is when you beat your opponent enough to make him or her dizzy on their feet. Groggy opponents are ripe for some of your best high-impact moves, but since you can only use these moves when your opponent has been beaten into dizziness, it limits your arsenal during the rest of the match. Expect a whole lot of punches, kicks, and really basic moves like body slams and arm drags for the opening four or five minutes of a match.
Keeping things interesting is a stamina meter for each wrestler, which drains whenever he or she attempts a punch, hold, or what have you. It refills quickly through rest, but it drains quickly as well, which helps keep one person from banging away mindlessly on the punch buttons to get a cheap win. You can also block striking moves, although how a wrestler blocks a stomach kick by puffing out his chest is beyond me. Last, there's the voltage meter, which measures fan support of the fighters in the ring. Fans will cheer for the guy who's winning for the most part, but if you or your opponent use the same moves too often, the crowd will begin to boo and root for the other guy. This creates the odd situation of a guy gaining momentum as his opponent kicks him into a pulp in the corner, over and over. I was also annoyed at how tired my wrestler would often be after my opponent kicked out of a pin. In fact, I once lost a match because of this. I was Tajiri, and I had just given X-Pac a finishing kick to the head. I went for the pin, and he kicked out in two. For whatever reason, this caused my poor Tajiri to lay on the mat in a daze, and X-Pac got up before I did! He then pinned ME for the 3-count. Sure, it was a long match and I was tired, but who gets pinned from a kick-out?
Finishing moves, as always, never seem to get the job done. Most of the time, I'd hit my big finishing move, and the other wrestler would get up off the mat with no time to pin him. Sure, he'd get up slowly and heavily weakened, but it was still aggravating. Shouldn't finishing moves, you know, FINISH a guy if he's sufficiently drained ahead of time? Sadly, most matches will end in a pin after a weak slam or clothesline, since you won't want to wait around for your finishing move to finally leave the guy flat on his back.
Sloppiness abounds in other areas. There are far too many holds that are broken up by button-mashing, especially by the wonderfully cheap computer. Trying to grapple a guy who's in the ropes leads to some weird 'throw out my arms and hurt the guy' animation, better for laughs than for any real wrestling action. And most of the wrestlers use the same basic moves, especially mounted punching, the 'throw-the-leg-into-the-mat' move, kicking inside the leg, and so on. The taunt button is also the enter/exit the ring button, and used to pick up items, which leads to some confusion. And the walking and move animations just seem sort of stiff and robotic; I don't know, the whole thing reeks of a lack of polish.
The wrestling roster is a bit dated, with none of the more recent 'Alliance' guys, but plenty of Haku, K-Kwik, and other useless lumps of carbon. All of the WWF's big hitters are present, though, and a lot of their signature flair is there with them. Lots of wrestler-specific animations help make the game seem more like the real thing. In other words, ''hey, he punches like he does on T.V.!''
Other options are a bit sparse. There are only the basic match types; none of the Coffin Match or First Blood exotica of other titles. The big backbreaker, though, is the lack of a story mode. Earth to wrestling game developers: people want a good story mode. It's really quite simple. You think millions of people would watch the WWF just to see the athleticism of the matches? I'm sure that the people behind 'RAW' are using the old excuse that they just wanted their first X-Box game to get the wrestling engine down. Hey, for fifty bucks, I think a complete game isn't too much to ask.
Still, there are some high points. The game looks fantastic, with amazing character models. Wrestler entrances are also splendid. Of course, good-looking but mediocre X-Box games are already a dime a dozen. Still, if the console's official magazine is any indication, X-Box fans seem to expect beautiful graphics and don't care too much about actual game play. (''Who cares if this game sucks? That car looks like a real car and stuff!'') Visual hounds will dig what 'RAW' has to offer.
The music, however, is abysmal. It's some of the weirdest, most annoying wrestling music that I've ever heard. The menu and entrance tunes are authentic and well-done, so what happened to the in-game soundtrack? Turning off the game music also turns off the entrance songs, which is very annoying. Seperate controls for each would have been excellent. The sound effects are the usual wrasslin' fare.
Overall, we've got another sloppy wrestling game on our hands, rushed out the door to cash in on the not-too-picky wrestling audience. (And the monstrous X-Box controller doesn't help matters.) Everything about this game, especially the thrown-together Create-A-Wrestler mode, just doesn't cut it. Still, despite the game's problems, this is a fairly solid foundation on which to build a sequel. Let's make sure to fully develop that one first before releasing it, please?

Migrants and international travelers are increasing in numbers every year. For these people, calling home is always an issue. Calling cards are expensive and prohibitive while VoIP calling apps rely on an internet connection.
With Moboline, you can call anyone, anywhere in the world, often times for completely free — even if the recipient is on a landline. How do we do this? First, we cut out the middle man and provide our users with wholesale call prices. Second, we aren't network exclusive: we use a mixture of VoIP and traditional telephone lines to get the best quality at reduced rates. The more users we get, the cheaper the cost for everyone in the Moboline community!
We've finished development of our Android app, and released it in Google Play. We are currently acquiring strategic partners to improve our service while also running a beta test with 300 users.
Read on to see what's in store for the future!
While abroad, whether temporarily or permanently, people want to keep in touch with friends and family back home or across international borders, but often find this prohibitively expensive to do with their service providers.
To combat high international calling costs, migrants and travelers have turned to calling cards. The process of going to a retail store to pick one up is not only time consuming and arduous, especially in a new country you're unfamiliar with, but it really isn't that less expensive.
No one wants to make a trip to the one store in town that sells calling cards multiple times a month, take the time to set it up, enter the pin number — it's simply an antiquated system that needs to end.
"Free" VoIP/Internet calling apps have increased in popularity over the past few years, but even they still pose price and utility restrictions. Calls are only free in certain countries, but really expensive in others, and most importantly: calls can only be made over an internet connection with these services.
Moboline is an OTT (over the top) service which allows users to make international calls at a fraction of the cost as traditional phone plans, calling cards, and even VoIP service providers. We can connect our customers from any country, to any country in the world at a price that encourages conversation.
Moboline takes advantage of both internet and legacy telephone system technology to provide a flexible way for users to make telephone calls. All of our underlying systems, including admin, are cloud based, making exponential growth both controllable and cost effective.
Call any number for free — even without an internet connection — whether a landline or mobile!
Never worry about international tariffs or roaming charges again.
Subscription choices are available for even better value. Moboline works with your cellular network even when your internet is not working — it's your choice. Whichever option you choose, our aim is simply to provide the best international calling experience.
Meet Teresa and Mark.
Teresa Vegas is a 26-year-old native Mexican. She moved with her husband to California to find work, eventually settling on a farm where her and husband make a combined $65 a day. After expenses, money is tight. But she has two children back in Mexico that she left with her parents and needs to call them often. AT&T, her phone service provider, has a plan called Viva Mexico which starts at $54.99 per month, but she can't afford it. Teresa also can't use a VoIP only services like Whatsapp, Messenger, or Viber, because her home state of Oaxaca has very poor internet service. Besides, the data plan she'd be required to pay for in order to make VoIP apps work on her end are more than the price of a Moboline subscription. For just $15 a month, Teresa uses Moboline to keep in touch with her kids and parents and never has to worry about internet connection, running out of minutes, or entering a pin number.
Mark Watson is going on holiday to Spain. While there, he needs to make a few calls home to keep in touch with an ongoing business issue. However, he doesn't want to pay the $1.50 per minute roaming charges from his service provider — that would be $90 for 60 minutes of calling! Instead, Mark simply downloads Moboline and gets that bill down to around $10, freeing up his spending and allowing him more time and freedom on his vacation.
Moboline is fully developed and available for free download from the Google Play store. We're currently running a beta test with 300 users.
At the same time, we're working on a number of updates including:
We have lined up strategic partners including a tech company in the UK where we're based, a development company in India, and networking partnerships to help with inboard calling.
Moboline is more than a singular app — we are a group of products centered around a common theme: making common services for migrants and travelers easier and more cost effective. In the future, we will create related services like mobile top-up, money transfer, and more.
Make sure to request access to the business plan tab of this profile for more details!
Robert personally designed the Moboline app before contracting a team in India to build it. He used to sell international calling cards from a distribution shop where he learned first hand how difficult it can be for migrants and travelers to keep in touch with loved ones abroad. Robert has also held an executive level position at Synergy & Technology Group PLC and served as a strategic business development consultant for Pulmobiotech Limited.

Bob's Red Mill Buckwheat Flour is ground whole grain buckwheat — nothing else! The pyramid-shaped kernels are harvested and ground into surprisingly rich flour with little black specks that some from the ground seed hull. This is how traditional buckwheat Flour has been made for hundreds of years. You can add a little buckwheat flour to almost any recipe that calls for regular flour. In wheat bread, use half buckwheat flour to add a unique, nutlike flavor and darker color.
Suggested Use
Four-Grain Waffles
1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill Brown Rice Flour
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill Buckwheat Flour
1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill Cornmeal
1 1/2 Tbsp. Baking Powder (preferably Alum-free)
1 cup Water
1 Tbsp. Honey
1 Egg Yolk
3 Egg Whites (beaten)
1 Tbsp. Salad Oil
Combine flours, cornmeal and baking powder.
Separate egg and beat egg whites until stiff.
Combine honey, water, egg yolk and oil. Combine liquid and flour, mixing as little as possible. Fold in egg whites. Mixture will be frothy and should be rather thick. Bake on medium-hot baker to a slight crispness. Oil baker lightly with a mixture of 1 Tablespoon lecithin to 1/2 cup salad oil. This recipe tends to stick, even to teflon. Serve with unsweetened applesauce and a little grape jam.
Other Ingredients
Whole grain organic buckwheat.
Manufactured in a facility that also uses tree nuts, soy, wheat and milk.
Keeps best refrigerated or frozen

Faced with a difficult roof drainage challenge, the design team for the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC) now under construction has elected to use a siphonic drain system that will be the first. application of its type in the United States.
Installation of a conventional pitched pipe drainage system within the center's ceiling space was declared infeasible, given the mandated requirement for the disposal of roof drainage from the site. To avoid overflowing the antiquated storm sewer systems in the neighborhood, the City of Boston required that all roof-level rainwater be removed through an independent storm sewer pipe and discharged into the adjacent Boston Harbor.
The siphonic system was developed in Finland in 1968 and has been used extensively in Europe. Its use will eliminate the need for a 3.7-million-gallon retention tank and a pump station that would be required to lift collected water from the tank to the Summer Street sewer &m> thereby avoiding construction costs of more than $10 million.
Architect for the facility, which will cost approximately $450 million, is a joint venture of the Boston office of A/E HNTB and New York City-based Rafael Vinoly Architects. The general contractor is a joint venture of the Bethesda, Md.-based Clark Construction Group, Indianapolis-based Hunt and William A. Barry Co. of Boston. The convention center is expected to open in March 2004.
The low level of the site, which is nearly the same as water in the harbor at high tide, prompted the need for an atypical drainage system, according to John Rattenbury, senior corporate engineer with Boston-based R.G. Vanderweil Engineers. BCEC will ultimately have a roof area of 37 acres, with a runoff rate that is greater than that of the previously sparsely occupied site. "The only way to properly handle the convention center drainage was to pitch it to Summer Street, an elevated roadway. Construction of a new drain line to the harbor that would originate from the grade level of the exhibition hall was impractical because it would need to be dead flat, subjecting it to backflow from the harbor. This storm sewer line would also have interfered with underground electrical lines from a nearby generating plant.
The 12-ft. difference
The new storm drainpipe elevation had to be about 12 feet above the elevation of the convention floor at the convention center property line. This necessitated either pitching the roof drain piping over a distance of 3,000 feet within the convention center or pumping water from grade level up to Summer Street.
A conventional drainage system is designed to
operate under atmospheric pressure in a partially filled mode, and requires pitched horizontal piping. Plumbing engineers are constrained by state or local codes that prescribe minimum required pitch and the maximum roof area that can be collected by horizontal and vertical pipes. Accordingly, ceilings may need to be lowered to accommodate the pitch of a horizontal pipe, or walls or columns fattened to hide vertical drainpipes. A variance from the Massachusetts Plumbing Code was obtained during schematic design to implement the system on the convention center.
"The key to a siphonic system, apart from the siphonic drain, is the downpipe," Rattenbury says."A full downpipe pulls water from the horizontal pipe, causing pressure in that part of the system to fall below atmospheric pressure. As a result, water on the roof is literally siphoned into the connected drains."
UV-System is the trademark name of the roof drains to be used, which were co-developed by Per Sommerhein. A U.S. patent was filed in 1983 by the original inventor, Olavi Ebeling of Helsinki, Finland.
The vertical drop of a siphonic system generates the flow. A piped gradient is not required, since the flow is driven by a pressure differential. Piping at the top of the system is under negative pressure, and piping at the bottom of the system is under positive pressure. The system operates at very high velocities, allowing for smaller piping and cleansing flows.
Smaller diameter piping
A siphonic system uses smaller diameter pipingthan a gravity system of equivalent capacity. The convention center's siphonic drains will each collect an area of up to 20,000 square feet, using 21/2 in. drains and collector pipes. An equivalent gravity system would require 5-in. drains and 8-in horizontal lines.
Water is carried vertically from roof drains to horizontal main connector pipes that terminate in a vertical downpipe. As the storm builds, the normally empty piping system starts to collect water. This water flows along the horizontal pipes to the downpipe. As the storm intensity increases, the design of the drain and the piping creates air-to-water mixing to allow the entrained air to be carried downstream. The horizontal pipe system exhibits a "plug flow" in which propagating wave crests contact the pipe crown, trapping air into pockets.
"When it is fully primed, a sudden increase in velocity occurs in the whole system. That's when you're operating in a siphonic condition," Rattenbury says.
If the roof water buildup rate is less than the flow rate of the drain system, air will again be drawn into the system through repressurization to inhibit the water flow. However, if the water volume exceeds the capacity of the drainage system, water will accumulate on the roof.
Because the convention center roof is designed to support a large snow load (the equivalent of 12 inches of water), the designers were able to downsize the piping system. The roof will be waterproofed to enable it to accommodate an 8-inch buildup of water. If the rain volume is greater than that of a 100-year storm, emergency drains at the side of the building will discharge water to the ground instead of directly into the storm sewer system. The time required to drain this maximum water accumulation from the roof is projected at 90 minutes. No matter how hard it rains, the convention center system will remove water at a rate of 11/2 inches per hour, which is equivalent to a two-year rain event.
The system's drain provider, Lidingo, Sweden-based Sommerhein AB, says conventional gravity-flow drainage systems cannot effectively dispose of the volumes of water received by large and/or complex roofs without costly multiple discharge points inserted throughout the building. More than 650 million total square feet of roof area are drained sing the UV-System. The title "UV" is an acronym for the Finnish word "umpivirtaus," which describes a full-bore flow.
While siphonic drainage proved a valuable solution to the BCEC roof drainage challenge, Rattenbury notes that these systems are used throughout the world, and are gaining favor over conventional systems. Siphonic drainage saves construction costs and has the flexibility to accommodate complex architecture, he says. Airports, warehouses, convention centers, stadiums and factories are among the types of buildings with low profiles and vast footprints that are particularly suited for the benefits of siphonic drainage.

We regret to announce that Road Test Reports will be closing down on 2nd October 2017
September 2009 saw the UK debut of the second Infiniti model – the 3.7-litre V6 EX37. This high performance, all-wheel-drive crossover is considerably smaller than Infiniti's big FX, and from July 2010 the petrol EX37 was joined by the EX30d which offers lower CO2 emissions along with stump-pulling diesel power.
Serious speed freaks or those with a peculiar aversion to diesel will probably still plump for the 316bhp, 149mph EX37, but EX30d owners won't be fussed as its 3-litre V6 diesel pumps out a more than sufficient 235bhp along with a very beefy 406lb/ft of torque at 1,750rpm – that's 141lb/ft more at 3,450 fewer revs. With power fed through the standard 7-speed auto transmission and 'intelligent' 4WD, this results in 0-62 in 7.9secs and a 137mph top speed. On the road the EX30d is a genuinely eager performer with strong acceleration never more than a light touch of the throttle away.
This may be a diesel 4x4 with a highish ride height and seating position, but from its road manners and handling you'd never know it as the EX30d drives and handles on tarmac like a good saloon, or even a good sports saloon. Aided by having most of the engine mounted behind the front axle line (thus improving weight distribution) along with double wishbone front suspension and multilink rear, the steering is precise, the ride is supple, the grip is tenacious and there's minimal body roll even when corners are attacked with tyre-squealing verve.
Nissan's luxury Infiniti brand hasn't yet featured in any UK JD Power Customer satisfaction surveys, but US JD Power data shows that it's a strong performer. Certainly the car I tested appeared flawless in both fit and finish inside and out – on the production line in Japan every car, not just every tenth car, is laser scanned to ensure that panel gaps are within prescribed limits. In addition, the EX's body is painted with a self-healing paint (really!) and Infiniti's Total Ownership Experience includes a free pick-up and delivery service within a radius of 150 miles from the dealership.
No Euro NCAP stars to report, but as standard the EX has six airbags: two front, hip and thorax plus front-to-rear curtain bags. Also standard on the GT Premium version are active front head restraints, rain and light sensors, intelligent cruise control with speed limiter, Intelligent Brake Assist, ISOFIX child seat mountings and adaptive auto-levelling front Xenon lights with washers. Additionally, the EX30d GT Premium also boasts Infiniti's lane departure warning system which intervenes to gently to guide the car back into the correct lane if its warnings aren't heeded. Security is handled, in part, by the I-Key's smart ignition with 'auto-closure' on all doors and windows.
The EX is what Infiniti describes as a 'coupé crossover' but its sleek rear roofline (and attendant low 0.33 coefficient of drag) doesn't render it ideal for a family of five off for a fortnight's touring. Space and comfort levels are excellent in the front, and there's enough headroom in the rear, but the EX is not over endowed with rear seat legroom. Rear loadspace with seatbacks up is quoted at 340-litres, and the steeply sloped tailgate could prove restrictive when attempting to load larger, solid objects. On the plus side there's a 45-litre underfloor compartment, proper coat hangers within the front headrests and each portion of the split-folding rear backrest can be remotely lowered or raised by the touch of a button.
The EX30d starts at £35,975 otr, rising to £41,220 for the GT Premium where standard equipment includes the Connectiviti+ package – HDD satnav with touchscreen, voice control, speed camera warnings, Michelin guide, 10GB music drive and iPod/USB connectivity (add £665 for the optional 11-speaker Bose sound system as fitted to my test car). The EX30d's 224g/km CO2 figure beats the EX37's 265g/km, and its 33.2mpg (combined) beats petrol EX's 25mpg, but, although slightly less powerful there are some diesel SUV rivals that fare at last as well on both counts. The flip side is they're not as good to drive, and they don't come with the Total Ownership Experience.

I think Abby was being sarcastic. I think her recommendation to get a chaperone or get married basically meant: Think of a creative way around the problem (like an adult), or start a life separate from mommy and daddy (like an adult).
I totally agree with CurlyG and mcp. I also agree with discg, who wrote, "The fact she's asking Dear Abby to tell her 'how to get around it' makes her think she probably needs her parents to tell her what to do." The woman seems pretty dependent on her parents to me.
And it might not seem "fair" that a grown woman is being told what to do in her love life, but one of the problems that comes from being a materially dependent adult, is that you continue to be treated like a child. No matter how old you are, parents still seem to see you as their kid. And you will only be reinforcing them by sticking around their home past the onset of adulthood. How can you really expect to be considered and treated as an adult when you're still feeding into their urge to protect or control you? This is how many husbands (and some wives) have historically controlled the actions of their spouses. Its called Material Dependence and its a mighty force.
I can't get too indignant about Voluntary Slavery I guess.

Pascrell on post-Paterson mayoral race fallout in Passaic County: "I have no challengers"
CLIFFSIDE PARK – U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-9) came to the Bergen County borough of Cliffside Park on Monday to talk about legislation he is backing to fix New Jersey's crumbling infrastructure, backed by his Congressional colleague, U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ).
After Pascrell's crushing victory over former U.S. Rep. Steve Rothman (D-9) in the June 2012 Democratic primary, a fight forced by Congressional redistricting, the former Paterson mayor had an air of invincibility after a torrent of votes drowned his opponent, Paterson Great Falls-style, on primary day.
But following the May 13 Paterson municipal election, in which Pascrell's preferred mayoral candidate, Andre Sayegh, was defeated by Joey Torres, some observers of the Passaic County political scene wondered if it was Pascrell who had now gone over the falls in a barrel. (Bonamo/PolitickerNJ)

CD12, 2017 gubernatorial, Union County Democratic Party chairmanship: 'all politics is local'
PLAINFIELD – The local races here haven't simply overshadowed the CD12 Congressional contest.
They've taken that contest, thrown it in a closet and padlocked the door.
This is local overdrive, where two city heavyweights are battling for control, and where a billboard broadcasting incumbent Councilwoman Rebecca Williams and her slate – not the names of federal hopefuls – ranges over a bustling downtown.
But while everything here arguably finally hinges on the outcome in one ward – Ward 1 specifically – the election expands outward again with statewide implications for 201. (Pizarro/PolitickerNJ)

Sarlo on millionaires tax: "I want to be realistic"
LITTLE FERRY – New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and U.S. Secretary for Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Shaun Donovan came to Little Ferry on Monday to jointly announce the awarding of $380 million to fund rebuilding projects in Hoboken and the Meadowlands, which were among the New Jersey communities that were devastated by Hurricane Sandy's record surge in 2012. Minutes later, state Sen. Paul Sarlo (D-36) spoke out about another idea surging in the minds of some Democrats to deal with a financial hole that could devastate New Jersey in another way: the state's approximately $1 billion budget hole this fiscal year.
"I know Democrats want to hear you talk about a millionaires tax. I want to be realistic. I want to be practical," said Sarlo, the chairman of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee, in comments to the press after Christie and Donovan both made remarks. "We could talk about it, we could do it, and [Christie] could veto it. All that does is put everything on hold."
Sarlo's remarks came weeks after State Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-3) proposed the revival of the idea of a millionaires tax for the state's wealthiest residents as a way to close to New Jersey's burgeoning fiscal gap. Sweeney's suggestion was amplified following Christie's announcement last month that to deal with the budget crisis, he wants to reduce a $1.6 billion pension payment the state was scheduled to make before June 30 to $696 million by executive order and slash a $2.25 billion payment that was set for next year to $681 million, a move that the governor will seek approval for from the Democratic-controlled Legislature. Christie did not immediately offer any other alternatives to shore up the state's fiscal shortfall. (Bonamo/PolitickerNJ)

$380 million in federal Sandy recovery funds to benefit two N.J. projects
The federal government has committed $380 million in Superstorm Sandy recovery funds for two ambitious projects to reshape the Meadowlands, gird New Jersey's urban Hudson River basin, and protect the region from the threat of rising tides and dangerous storms, officials said Monday in Little Ferry.
Little Ferry Mayor Mauro Raguseo, Assemblywoman Marlene Caride and Alexander D'Hooghe, drector, Center for Advanced Urbanism at MIT look at aerial renderings of the redevelopment.
Governor Christie joined U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan and Little Ferry Mayor Mauro Raguseo to announce the projects, two of six regional winners of the Rebuild by Design challenge, which was launched after the 2012 hurricane to create infrastructure, policy and environmental solutions for U.S. cities vulnerable to dramatic weather events.
"These winning proposals are truly transformative and serve as blueprints for how we can safeguard the region and make it more environmentally and economically resilient," Donovan said. "I believe they will be models throughout this country of the way we can rebuild smarter and stronger after devastating storms." (O'Brien/The Record)
Rating agency warns N.J. of possible downgrade
LITTLE FALLS — Five candidates Less than two months after lowering New Jersey's credit rating, a Wall Street rating agency says it's prepared to do it again.
Standard & Poor's reviewed Governor Christie's solutions to the state's $1 billion budget gap and warned on Monday that another downgrade could be coming. That could mean higher borrowing costs for the state and signal further dissatisfaction with Christie's handling of the state's finances.
New Jersey already has one of the lowest credit ratings of any state, and now it's struggling to fill an unexpected revenue shortfall.
In response to the $1 billion hole, Christie announced on May 20 that he will slice his planned $1.58 billion contribution to the state pension system to $696 million.
That was a solution that the rating agency apparently didn't like. In a statement released Monday, it criticized Christie's pension payment cuts, his revenue forecasts and his one-time budget fixes. (Linhorst/The Record)
Bids for U.S. Senate, Congressional Seats Top Today's Primary Ballot
The U.S. Senate seat former Newark Mayor Cory Booker won last October tops today's primary election, which will also determine which major party candidates will vie for all of New Jersey's 12 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives in November.
This year's primary is more notable than most because a quarter of the state's members of Congress are retiring — in the case of the 1st District, Rob Andrews has already left — and in most districts, the winner of the Democratic or Republican primary winds up winning the general election. New Jersey's districts are currently split, with half "red" and half "blue."
Given that, probably the most watched race is for the right to represent the Democratic party on the general election ballot in Central Jersey's 12th District. Three current state legislators are running, as well as a physicist, but the race is expected to boil down to two: Assemblywoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-Mercer) and Sen. Linda Greenstein (D-Middlesex).
The only nonpartisan poll, a mid-May Monmouth University Poll, had Greenstein leading Watson Coleman among likely voters by just 1 percentage point, but a third of voters were still undecided. In a blog post yesterday, Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, gave Watson Coleman a two-point edge, but added, "I won't be the least bit surprised if this forecast turns out to be wrong." (O'Dea/NJSpotlight)
Feds Award $400 Million for Storm Resiliency Projects in Hoboken, Meadowlands
What will it take to make New Jersey and New York less vulnerable to future storms like Sandy? The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development hopes close to a billion dollars will help. That's how much officials say they'll spend on a series of large-scale flood protection projects in both states, as part of a competition by planners, environmentalists, designers, and engineers.
The purpose of the Rebuild by Design contest was to come up with regional solutions to make the area more resilient. It received more than 140 entries, ranging from the creation of a financing model to fund coastal protection in Asbury Park to a pie-in-the-sky plan to construct artificial barrier islands 10 miles off the Jersey Shore. The ideas were narrowed through two rounds of competition, and yesterday, half a dozen winners were announced, including two in New Jersey.
A proposal by a Dutch engineering team to build sea walls and other measures to protect Hoboken and parts of Weehawken and Jersey City was awarded $230 million. Another plan created by MIT in partnership with two European design firms will receive $150 million to restore wetlands in the Meadowlands and build a berm to reduce flooding in nearby communities.

Christie approval rating stabilizes as voters pay less attention to bridge scandal, poll finds
TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie's approval ratings have stopped their slide as voters take less interest in the George Washington Bridge scandal but a growing number of New Jerseyans say the state is headed in the wrong direction, a poll released today found.
The Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind poll of 813 registered voters found them split down the middle on Christie's job performance, with both 44 percent approving and disapproving.
Although Christie's approval rating is slightly better than the 41 percent he earned in a March PublicMind poll, the difference is within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points. And it's down significantly from late 2012 and early 2013, when Christie's approval rating — buoyed by his performance in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Sandy — peaked in the 70s.
At the same time, interest in the scandal over the September George Washington Bridge access lane closings has dropped significantly. In the new poll, 22 percent said they were paying very close attention — down from 34 percent in March. And the number of voters saying they're following the controversy "not at all closely" rose from 18 percent to 29 percent. (Friedman/Star-Ledger)

African Lion Safari is a family-owned safari park situated in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, about 100 kilometres (62 mi) west of Toronto. Though situated in Hamilton city limits, it is located near Cambridge, Ontario. It includes more than 1,000 animals, representing over 100 species of mammals and birds from across the globe. Guests may tour seven game reserves (with a total area of about 740 acres (300 hectares)) traversed via tour buses or the visitors' own vehicles where animals roam freely in large contained areas. Accompanying the game reserves is a large walking section where hundreds of exotic birds and primates, as well as the park's herd of Asian elephants, are on display.
It is an accredited member of the CAZA, and is also a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA), the International Elephant Foundation (IEF) as well as the International Association of Avian Trainers and Educators (IAATE).
It is open from the first weekend in May to the weekend of Canadian Thanksgiving in October and has an on-site bus in which to tour the park, but public transportation to the park itself is limited.
This safari park was founded by Gordon Debenham "Don" Dailley, a retired Canadian Army colonel, and opened its doors on August 22, 1969. Dailley initially partnered with the Chipperfield family from England to purchase four farms in the Rockton, Ontario area totaling 250 hectares (620 acres). He bought out the Chipperfields in the early 1970s.[5] Dailley's sons Don and James, along with their sister Ginny, took over operations in 1989, following their father's death. It remains privately owned, and the only significant feature was the drive-through reserve. In 1971, the park began working with Asian elephants, and in 1985 they started to make a concentrated effort to breed Asian elephants. Over the years, successful breeding of 30 endangered species and 20 threatened species has occurred in the park.
On any of the seven reserves, visitors are caged in their car and the animals roam in large enclosures that range from 2 to 20 hectares (4.9 to 49.4 acres).[1] Since the reserves are inhabited by wild animals, all feeding is prohibited and visitors must keep doors and windows of their vehicles closed. Vehicles on which openings cannot be closed or where safety is otherwise compromised (for instance, by large cracks in the windshield) will not be allowed into the reserves. Visitors can always see the reserves via the air-conditioned tour buses. Since the potential for damage to vehicles from the animals exists, a slip road is provided for all guests who wish to avoid the monkeys and any potential damage to their vehicles.
In the Nairobi Sanctuary, visitors can see Watusi cattle, llama, European white stork, Egyptian goose, crested screamer, and East African crowned crane. The reserve consists of a large grassy field.
Simba Lion Country is home to African lions in their normal yellow color. The reserve consists of, like the other reserves such as the Nairobi Sanctuary, a large grassy field. This reserve is notable because it has a structure made out of rocks so the lions can rest.
Timbavati Lion Country is home to white lions, also known as Timbavati lions. This reserve also has a rock structure for the lions to rest or play on.
Duma Cheetah Preserve is home to cheetahs. This reserve features several pens where the cheetahs live either separately or grouped. The cheetahs have small house-like structures that they can rest in if they wish.
Wankie Bushland Trail is home to olive baboons, bongo and miniature zebu. The baboons' tower is a house and a playground for them.
The Rocky Ridge Veldt includes Rothschild's giraffe, Grant's zebra, wildebeest, eland, Barbary sheep, ostrich, white rhinoceros, addax, and scimitar-horned oryx. This reserve is grassy with a hut for the wildebeest.
The Eurasia reserve includes Himalayan tahr, yak, nilgai, mouflon, sika deer, fallow deer, Père David's deer, emu, and Sicilian donkey. In smaller fenced areas on the periphery of this reserve are enclosures for Turkmenian (Bukharan) markhor, Sichuan takin, Bactrian camel, sarus crane, red kangaroo, and red-necked wallaby. The reserve is grassy.
The North America reserve is home to American bison, North American elk, and fallow deer. This reserve is grassy.
The African Lion Safari offers two tours for no additional charge; the first one is by boat around a lake whose islands are inhabited by various primates of the world, and the second by train through a natural wetland.
There is a cruise ship called the African Queen. On the African Queen, visitors will see black-handed spider monkey, white-handed gibbon, siamang, black-and-white ruffed lemur, marabou stork, southern ground hornbill, ring-tailed lemur, robust black spider monkey, pink-backed pelican, and black swan.[6]
The Nature Boy is a scenic railway that travels through natural forest where visitors will see native wildlife and several exotic species such as Bactrian camels and reindeer.
Walking area[edit]
Parrots and toucans displayed outside the walking area of the park include African grey parrot, scarlet macaw, blue-and-yellow macaw, military macaw, great green macaw, hyacinth macaw, red-and-green macaw, Catalina macaw, white cockatoo, salmon-crested cockatoo, galah, Alexandrine parakeet, princess parrot, channel-billed toucan, and white-throated toucan.
Birds of prey displayed in the park include bald eagle, golden eagle, African fish eagle, tawny eagle, peregrine falcon, red-tailed hawk, great black hawk, Harris' hawk, ferruginous hawk, snowy owl, Eurasian eagle-owl, barn owl, spectacled owl, great horned owl, burrowing owl, marabou stork, black vulture, king vulture, turkey vulture, cinereous vulture, Andean condor, steppe eagle, lanner falcon, and American kestrel.
Other animals exhibited in the walk-through area include Asian elephant, American flamingo, collared peccary, black-capped squirrel monkey, Indian flying fox, alpaca, Indian peafowl, pygmy goat, African pied crow, tufted capuchin, screamer, violet turaco, Victoria crowned pigeon, and laughing kookaburra.
Breeding programs[edit]
The park is involved in the International SSPs for Asian elephants, cheetahs, white rhinos, and cinereous vultures. It has provided captive bred barn owls, burrowing owls, trumpeter swans, ferruginous hawks, and a bald eagle to reintroduction programs for release into the wild.
The park currently claims to have the most successful Asian elephant breeding program in North America, and in 2008 became home to the first third generation Asian elephant in North America. It has received several CAZA awards, including those recognizing outstanding achievements in the care of both cheetahs and giraffes.
In 2010, "Jake" became African Lion Safari's first successful Asian elephant birth from an artificial insemination, and the first birth of this kind in Canada.[7]
A demonstration against animals in captivity was held at African Lion Safari on Saturday, May 4, 2013. Animal rights activists from the Grassroots Ontario Animal Liberation Network staged a protest during the Safari's opening day to raise awareness about issues surrounding the use of exotic animals for entertainment and to expose the park as a for-profit business based on animal exploitation. Activists also claimed that the use of bull hooks during elephant shows at the park were cruel and archaic.
Beyond the displays, the Lion Safari provides regularly scheduled shows featuring their collection of raptors (birds of prey), parrots and Asian elephants. The Asian elephants are also led through the park twice daily for a swim in full view of the public. Other attractions include elephant and pony rides, a petting zoo, a large wet-play area, a playground, a discovery centre and multiple food and souvenir shops.
In the movies[edit]
Animals from African Lion Safari have appeared in many movies and television shows. Recently, Safari elephants were seen in The Love Guru.
In November 1989, Omar Norton, a 21-year-old part-time employee and biology student at McMaster University was crushed to death by a five-tonne bull elephant named Tusko while trying to break up a fight between it and another elephant. [8][9]
In April 1996, a couple driving through the game reserve were mauled by a Bengal tiger. They later launched a lawsuit against the park which took several years to resolve. Finally in January 2005, a court awarded them and their families $2.5 million.[10]

Discussion in 'Texans Talk' started by GP, Nov 1, 2010.
yo reserve this...
Ugh, I already have a bad feeling. Thank god I stocked up on Makers Mark.
Uh oh Jimmy, Terry and Howie all picked Texans to upset the Jags today on the Fox pre-game show
What's our record when talking heads pick us to win?
Go Texans
They need this W like an alcoholic needs a drink.
My predictions for this game are that the Texans will win this game. They usually play up for the Jags more than any other team in the league. Then you'll have your usual jumpers that go on and off the Kubiak bandwagon every week.
I just hope that AJ doesn't harm his ankle any further. That would really suck.
Foster will have a huge game to day and will finally see some nice plays from Walter again.

On CBS' "Face the Nation," Rendell joined a chorus of voices calling for toned-down political rhetoric in the face of last Saturday's shootings, in which six were killed and 13 wounded when 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner allegedly opened fire at a political event outside of a Tucson grocery store.
Among the injured was Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who sustained a bullet wound to the head and currently remains in critical condition.
Complete Coverage: Tragedy in Tucson
Rendell emphasized the increasingly heated nature of political discourse in recent months, and urged Congress to take the tragedy as an opportunity to change its tone.
"In my eight years I've seen the level of partisanship and ideological posturing just increase and increase and increase, and I think it's tearing the fabric of our government apart," the outgoing Democratic governor told CBS' Bob Schieffer. "If these lives were lost for a reason, the reason is if we can take something good out of it. This is a wake-up call to all of us, that we can't go on the way we're doing.
"If that happens, this tragic day will have done some real good," Rendell continued.
Arizona Republican Rep. Jeff Flake said he thought Congress would see "a more civil debate" in the wake of the shootings, but conceded that the real difficulty would be maintaining that tone in the future.
"I think that we Republicans, and I think Democrats alike, will realize that if we tone down the rhetoric sometimes our debate is more effective from our own side," Flake said.
But he added that "it's easy to slip back into old ways ... Keeping that into the future is going to be a tough thing."
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani decried what he described as "a rush to judgment on both sides" in the wake of the shootings: "Left wingers trying to blame it on right wing Tea Party, Sarah Palin. Right wingers trying to fight back and defend themselves against what was really an outrageous charge," he told Schieffer.
"The reality is that that settled pretty quickly when we learned the history. And I thought the President's speech put it on a different tone," Giuliani told Schieffer.
"I think we have a chance to do the same thing that we did after September 11," he said.
In a call for increased bipartisanship, some members of Congress have proposed that both parties sit together at President Obama's State of the Union address, which will take place on January 25.
"It's a symbol," said Democratic New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, one of the champions of the plan. "You'll create an image of the Congress deciding that we are going to work as a body, not as two separate sides. That's a very good place to start."

Dive teams continued to scour the sea Wednesday for signs of a missing diver who never returned from a Memorial Day outing at La Jolla Shores.
Longtime friends said Jeffrey May, 45, was an experienced diver who would never have planned to enter the water alone.
May left his Oceanside home about 7:45 a.m. Monday with plans to meet up with other divers he had reached out to online. But that meeting never happened.
Friend Roger Bray said May went to fill up his scuba tank, but when he got back possibly decided to go in the water to catch up with the other divers. Lifeguards said they haven't been able to find anyone who witnessed May going into the water.
May's wife called police about 8 p.m. Monday, saying she hadn't heard from her husband.
Lifeguards found May's car at the La Jolla Shores parking lot, and his keys, sunglasses and clothes at nearby Kellogg Park.
Nearly 30 scuba divers from public safety agencies in San Diego, Oceanside and Del Mar were aiding in the search Wednesday, along with a San Diego fire helicopter and two remotely operated underwater vehicles.
Visibility was 10 to 15 feet in some areas, although algae blooms in other spots reduced visibility to 2 to 5 feet, said San Diego lifeguard Lt. Nick Lerma.
Friend Debi Bray said loved ones are holding out hope that May will be found, and she thanked search crews for their efforts. May has a 2-year-old daughter with his wife.
"He was levelheaded and smart," Bray said. "He loved life. He was always upbeat and pleasant."

North Park Jack in the Box court case surprise
"I am not going to subject my clients to abusive depositions by Mr. Briggs."
Dorian Hargrove 1:15 p.m., Sept. 25
The Balboa Park Task Force met March 15 in the Santa Fe Room of the Balboa Park Club to discuss the future of Balboa Park with regards to fundraising management and governance. All 17 volunteer task-force members were in attendance, as well as 10 community members.
The group spent two hours wordsmithing their 18-page draft entitled, "Report of the Balboa Park Task Force to the Mayor and Council of the City of San Diego: Regarding the Formation of a New Public Non-Profit Corporation and the Creation of a Public Private Partnership with the City of San Diego to Assist with Funding, Management and Governance of Balboa Park."
"Balboa Park is dysfunctional," said task-force chair Vicki Granowitz. "It has lacked clarity in terms of anybody understanding who to go to in order to get things done. It's as clear as mud. If you want to volunteer, who do you go to? It doesn't exist. Also, people who in the past had power haven't come to terms with the fact that the public wants more transparency for making decisions in the park. For potential donors, there have been concerns that money wouldn't be wisely spent and the City would get its hands on it, squander it."
"This has been a two-year process," continued Granowitz. "The clarifications drafted here are major. Mayor Sanders has supported open transparent public process in a way no other mayor has done in the past 35 years. He is the first mayor to defend the public's right to be involved."
An elderly man, later identified as a Balboa Park donor, added, "The park has no standardization of public administration regarding financial reports. The nonprofits that raise funds for the park have never published an annual report that was made public, never."

Maybelline New York Great Lash Washable Curved Brush Mascara Reviews
luv iti loveeeeee this mascara,it really thicken my lash ,make it soooooo long and darken my lash. It never clump,dry out or flake...the curved brush is so much better than the straight one because it create great curl of course....and it very inexpensive too...the only bad thing about it is it take a while to dry enough so you can curl it ...but its okay for me — 8 years, 1 month agoiluvtk10 | 1 reviews
alright, but not the bestI must say I prefer the curved brush version of the great lash mascara, but I don't think it's the best. The formula of the mascara is too liquidy, and makes a mess on my lids. Also, as the day goes on, the mascara on the tips of my lashes melts off onto my lids, which is not okay! It does help with curling lashes and holding the curl; however, there are many other mascaras with the same kind of curved brush with a better formulation that doesn't rub off as easily. — 8 years, 1 month agoamwflute | 35 reviews
not greati keep trying this product because so many people like it, but it just doesn't cut it. it does nothing for volume of the lashes. — 8 years, 2 months agogloss78 | 13 reviews
Works okThis one worked ok, not my favorite because i want really long and thick lashes and with this i did not get that result. It's not sweat-proof as well so nah, did not like it. Works ok still though, just did not see anything special to keep using it. — 8 years, 4 months agooleandel | 151 reviews
Perfect for the PriceI love the brush. I have short lashes that point down and this helps. It's really hard to find in the stores. — 8 years, 5 months agodivamom79 | 34 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
Best for the priceOver the years I've tried lots of different brands of mascara; this is the best. Other brands get clumpy after only a few days; I can usually get a month or so out of this mascara before it gets flaky & I have to get a new one. I wear contacs so I don't like flakes. The curved brush really works at separating & lengthening my lashes. Also, I like the fact that the bristles are farther apart than other mascaras; that seems to help with no clumping. — 8 years, 5 months agoWendy_O | 4 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful
:)I really like Maybelline's Great Lash Curved Brush but it takes some time getting used to. It's a great addition to my Maybelline collection. Doesn't clump and says what it's supposed to. — 8 years, 7 months agoDamiaRose | 40 reviews
Long lashes?I always thought I had short yucky lashes. Until I tried this mascara! I wish I had started using it sooner. I have the long beautiful lashes that I've always dreamed of! — 8 years, 8 months agolehall | 30 reviews
Great stuff, but what about Waterproof?Great Lash is a wonderful basic mascara that every woman should keep in their purse. However, I have always been bummed that I cannot get this curved brush version in waterproof. My eyes simply water too much and my days too long for washable. — 8 years, 10 months agoHouseLover77 | 9 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
Ouchie...but oh well! (^.^)Well, this is a tough one....I definitely like the way the brush is curved...it bends prefectly to my eye and curls a lot nicer than a standard brush. But on the downside, this mascara formula just seemed to bother the heck out of my eyes. If I even got one little tear in my eye, it would moisten the mascara and drag it into my eye, causing me to tear up even more which lead to even more mascara going into my eye!!! Wear it if you don't plan on blinking I guess...lol!!! (^.^) — 9 years agoshedevil88 | 11 reviews

A Honest Liberal That Can Think For His Own Self And Was Taught The definition Of Truth?
Totally unheard of !!...Will wonders ever cease?
I would probably not agree with The Nation's Jeremy Scahill on much, but he does some truth-telling here when he said MSNBC's coverage of the 2012 Democratic National Convention at times seemed more like "an Obama for America Meetup" than it did a serious discussion of foreign policy issues. He's right. MSNBC has ceased to be a network devoted to journalism, and have completely turned to advocating for Barack Obama and the Democrats. Scahill talked only in reference to foreign policy issues, but the incredible bias extends across the board.

So much has happened since my last race; Mountain Masochist 50 mile LAST November. I became an aunt for the second time, started attending a four year university for the first time (IN MY 30'S; had a horrible 1st semester but finished strong in the 2nd AND changed my major in the process), moved in with my boyfriend (1st time living with a guy), found out we were moving to Colorado and had 2.5 weeks to get there, packed, said tearful goobyes, hired a horrible moving company to move our things, spent 48 days sleeping on an air mattress and sitting on the floor, GOT ENGAGED (to a former Loopster and I promise that bloop will come! Just remember, the longer I wait to write it, the mushier it will be...muhuhahaha), and now working part-time and making minimum wage waiting to start school next fall.
Notice there weren't any races mentioned? That's because there weren't any! It's the first time I have raced a single race in an entire year since....who knows. I was training for a marathon that was in November but we moved and therefore I couldn't do it. As much as I've missed racing and drooled over some of your race reports and posts, it's been good to take some time off if simply for the sake of my pitiful bank account.
So now, moving forward. Relentless forward progress is what I need to be focused on now and is what I plan to do. I signed up for an inaugural marathon in April, a year in advance, and got a sweet discounted rate! RnR Raleigh is where it's at this coming April and I plan to be more prepared than EVER! Not only will I be in my home state and get to see some of my loved ones, but I will have some killer altitude training and extra red blood cells to help me KILL that race! Maybe even a BQ perhaps? The sky is the limit baby!
I'm using Hal Higdon's Intermediate training plan and had 3 miles for today. That 3 miles seems like nothing until I think about where it's going to take me. You'll be seeing a lot more of me; I promise this time! It's time to bring back BA NCathlete, for real. I also look forward to 'meeting' some of you new-to-me folks and getting back in the loop! (Corny pun intended)
Happy running guys and gals!

Pagan's solid return not enough to spark Giants
Center fielder collects two hits, but rest of offense can't back Peavy
MILWAUKEE -- Angel Pagan's return to the Giants' lineup Thursday wasn't quite the stuff of legend. But he accomplished enough to enable the Giants to believe that his performance and presence will intensify the team's bid for a postseason berth.
Leaving the disabled list for his customary spot atop the batting order, Pagan went 2-for-5 and stimulated the offense. Unfortunately for the Giants, that offense produced virtually nothing overall in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Brewers at Miller Park.
Pagan did his part, but the rest of the Giants mustered six singles off Brewers starter Wily Peralta and three relievers. The outcome extended right-hander Jake Peavy's personal losing streak to 12 consecutive decisions.
The Giants, who dropped two of three games to the Brewers, missed a chance to win their first series against an above-.500 team since they took three of four from St. Louis from May 29-June 1.
Perhaps Pagan, the switch-hitting center fielder who missed 44 games with a strained back, will give the Giants the lift they need to compete more effectively and accelerate their pursuit of the first-place Dodgers in the National League West.
"The good thing is, we're still in the fight," he said. "This is the time for us to get on a roll and finish strong."
Pagan, 33, felt confident that he can remain healthy for the regular season's final seven weeks. "I'm very positive everything's going to be fine," he said. "... My goal is to stay healthy and [help] this team win another championship."
Pagan's availability has been an issue since last year, when a hamstring injury limited him to 71 games. The Giants fully realize that they need him on the field, as reflected by their 36-22 record this year in games he has started.
"He's a bona fide leadoff hitter," Peavy said. "With power lacking in the game overall, speed is more important. He brings some energy to the ballclub. ... [He] makes us a whole lot better team."
Appearing in his first Major League game since June 14, Pagan didn't make authoritative contact at the plate. Yet he executed his tasks as a leadoff hitter and offensive dynamo nevertheless.
"I thought he bounced around nicely and didn't show any signs of his back bothering him," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Pagan.
Pagan opened the game with a bloop single to right field off Peralta (14-6), the Majors' leading winner. The Giants proceeded to load the bases with two outs before Joe Panik became the first of Peralta's nine strikeout victims.
After Peavy reached base safely by striking out on a wild pitch to begin the Giants' fifth, Pagan bounced a single into right field. Hunter Pence scored Peavy with a single to center, but Peralta recovered by striking out Buster Posey and coaxing Pablo Sandoval's double-play grounder.
"That's a situation where you have to calm down and make your pitches," Peralta said. "I was able to do that today. Posey and Sandoval, those are two great hitters."
That run erased the 1-0 lead Milwaukee established in the first inning on Ryan Braun's RBI double.
The Brewers scored twice off Peavy in the sixth. Aramis Ramirez doubled and came home on Khris Davis' ground-rule double. Rickie Weeks' single set up Mark Reynolds' sacrifice fly that delivered Davis.
Peavy's lapses during the third time through the batting order have marred each of his three starts with the Giants since they obtained him from Boston. The Dodgers scored three fifth-inning runs off him in his San Francisco debut on July 27. Last Saturday, the Mets raked him for four seventh-inning runs after he retired the first 19 hitters he faced.
"I've got to do more," Peavy said. This entails making better pitches in crucial situations, because, he added, "I can't give any more than I've given."
Pagan also felt ready to do all he can.
"My teammates need me," he said.
