Eyeliner and me don't get on really. I have tried a fair few in my time and I just can't seem to get it to look right. I thought trying a liquid one might help and I settled on the Avon one because it was discounted in one of the catalogues that I got through the door and the lady in the picture looked good with it on! Who says advertising doesn't work?!
The eyeliner should ordinarily cost five pounds I think, but I got it on special offer and it cost me three pounds which I thought was fairly good value for money because it is a fairly good sized bottle. After trying the product a few times though, I don't think I'd have been too happy if I'd have paid the full five pounds.
Applying it is not as easy as they would have you believe. It seems to go on well enough, but the application brush is very thin so it looked really thin and pale on my eyes. I went over it a couple of times and it just didn't seem to get any better and my lack of steady hand didn't help. it didn't give that dark line around my eyes that I was hoping for and that would highlight my eyes!
overall I do not feel that I can recommend this eye liner because it is just a bit weak and not very easy to apply. I'm not sure if someone with more talent than me could do a better job, but I suspect that they wouldn't because it is generally a poor product. And it is overpriced.
I only used Avon Perfect Wear Eyewriter Liquid Eye Liner a few times because whenever I used it my eyes would sting horribly. At first I put it down to me and maybe I had a funny reaction to it but when I spoke to other people they said that they had the same thing when they use it, so surely it cannot just be me? Nonetheless I will still review the product and give my opinion.
> The Bottle <
I prefer these bottles to pens or thick brushes. The liquid is stored in a small container where the application brush fits.
> Application <
Give the product a shake first before use. Take the brush out of the liquid and wipe any excess (if necessary) on the bottle hole before applying to skin. Start from the end (away from nose) of your eyelid to create the flick you want to achieve. Work your way down to the corner of your eyelid in short strokes to evenly create the flick. Draw against the eyelid margin and thicken if needed. I always find it best to create a small line first before making it bigger.
> Results <
As I have already explained about my eye stinging I will not write about it again (I will save you on the boredom) however, I did fine when using this that the liquid (I purchased black) was very faint and would need another coat or two to make it bold black. I also found that the liquid was very thin and would easily run down my eyelid and make it very difficult for me to make straight lines.
> Value <
I cannot remember the price of mine but I do know that it was not expensive. Less than £5. Although from my experience I would rather keep my money
> Overall <
It wasn't just me that thought their eyes stung so it cannot just be me going mad. Beside that I felt that the eye liner was not of good quality and I will not be purchasing it again.
I love eyeliner, can't live without it, and with this product out there hopefully I will never have to. I bow to the designer of the liquid eyeliner and praise them.
These were on offer 2 for £7 and I bought two of them. They are very simply the best thing ever; the bottle is small with an extremely long handle, but because of the length it is easy to hold and use. The tip of the wand is not a brush as such; it's more like a felt tip pen, this does assist with the use of it though. I would find using a brush much harder to control than this wand. The colour of the liquid is very black and shiny; and the wand gives an even coverage and can be used to make a delicate thin line or a thicker bolder mark.
I believe these do come in other colours but I have only used the black. It takes no time at all to dry and once dry, it stays in place for a very long time. It is easy to remove as well; make up remover makes short work of removing it. I have had no adverse reactions to using this product although you should always be wary of using new products around your eyes as they are very delicate. I would defiantly recommend this product to anyone and I will continue to use this product over and over again.
Perfect Wear Liquid Eyeliner from AVON has been around for many years in various packaging, essentially the product has remained the same. It costs around £7 but it is regularly on offer for 2 for £7 or 2 for £8. something like that so you can pick it up for around £4. It comes in black, navy and brown and is a liquid eyeliner rather than a smudgey pencil. You can see from the picture that it has a stubby pot with the eyeliner in it and a long handle for the brush with a short stubby brush on the end.
==My opinion==
Out of all the liquid eyeliners that I have used this is one of the easiest to apply and had it not been for this eyeliner introducing me to the wonders of liquid eyeliner I would have to say that I may not have ever mastered the wobble-free hand of liquid eyeliners. Rather than being a bristley brush, the "brush" is actually made out of some sort of material, think of a hard felt tip (a bit like a Sharpie pen but slightly more flexible) and you've got the idea of what it is made out of. This means that there are no stray brush bits going wild over your lashes and it makes it quite easy to have a steady hand and a straight line as you can concentrate on the line rather than on what in the heck the brush is doing.
The liner doesn't dry out in the pot like some liquid eyeliner pens can do (the ones where the "ink" is in the barrel) and therefore this lasts a long time and gives excellent value for money, particularly when similar items from other makeup brands can be at least £10 more expensive.
I want to write and say that the colour stays put for a good while on the eye, pretty much all day but that would be a bit of a white lie. I'm not sure if it is just my eye but after a day at work I find that the middle bit of the line seems to have vanished and I'm left with a thin line above, a blank bit and then a thin line by my lashes which doesn't look too strange until you look closely and then it looks a bit whacky. For this reason I've had to search out another liquid eyeliner (MAC) which stays put but doesn't have the excellent brush that the AVON eyeliner has. It is worth noting that this isn't waterproof either which doesn't bother me but may bother some.
I do like this eyeliner, it really does have a brilliant brush and if you are new to liquid eyeliner I'd have to recommend you start with this. However, the wearing of the colour over the course of the day can be a bit of a problem and I feel undecided about whether to recommend it or not. It really has as many negatives as benefits. I guess if you aren't looking for an expensive liner and want something that will last a few hours, give this a go but if you want it to last a while you will need to re-apply or invest in a different brand. I'm still glad I bought this liner and bought it for a good few years until I needed it to be longer lasting. Hopefully this review will let you make your own mind up about buying it for your own makeup needs.
I do not normally buy eyeliners as I use the glimmerstick eyeliner from Avon but I wanted to try the product. Only I wish I didnt. I dont have sensitive eyes but for some reason this one did irritate my eyes so much that I ended up looking like I was crying and it all started off when I yarned. I did not rub my eyes or anything but yarned and had watery eyes because I yarned and after that for about 10 min I could not stop my tears coming down my face. It was quite horrible. Otherwise the product was good as it was easy to apply, the packaging is neat and smallish. Mine was in black and my eyes looked great with such intensive, dark colour. I tried using it again but the same thing happened and I ended up binning it. But my friend told me hers dried up very quickly so I am not sure if it is a product that I would ever suggest to any of my close friends.
The product itself
Comes in a sleek, black container with white writing on the side. When you take the lid off the product, it looks more like a felt tip pen than an eye liner, but because of this it is easier to accurately apply your eyeliner.
As I mentioned above, it looks more like a felt tip pen than an eye liner. Because I am fairly inexperienced at applying eye liner, I was worried about buying something so expensive (£8!) only to find I was incapable of applying it properly. However I found it is so easy to apply!
I have always found that I have sensitive skin and eyes. Therefore when purchasing new beauty products I am always wary of the effects it may have on my skin. However, this product did not irritate my eyes at all! Although it is not waterproof (and therefore occasionally runs down if I am caught out by the rain!), it still does not irritate my eyes or skin.
Bad points
The product is quite expensive (I bought it for £8!) and I found it difficult to find it on official websites (e.g. Avon and Amazon) BUT I did find it on eBay for £3.49-£3.99 so all is not lost!
All in all I feel this was a good buy, well worth the money (but i'll be buying it a lot cheaper next time!) and I would definately recommend the product.
Thanks for reading! :)
THE PRODUCT ~ 'A Real Eye Opener'
The total length of the tube measures 5 inches, the lid a whole 3 ½ inches, the liquid part 1 ½ inches. The colour of the container is a lovely smokey grey. No words adorn the lid but on the liquid pot a silver square holds the A for Avon in grey. Underneath, all in silver is 'Avon' then in smaller lettering 'perfect wear eyewriter liquid eyeliner, completed by more notations in another language. If like me, you'll need glasses to see the writing underneath the Avon symbol! The reverse side notes 'eyeliner' which is also written in eight other languages. The base in white lettering notes 'Avon cosmetics NI SPA England' with the shade 'evening black' and the usage date by symbol of '12 M' (months).
It takes four half turns to open the pot. The wand is just over 5 cms in length with the brush being 6 mm of that measurement. The wand measures 2mm in thickness and the brush starts at its thickest point at 1mm to a point half that width! The shade is a striking raven black, with fluid that glistens in the light. The base at its thickest central point measures 3cms and gradual ends to a point measuring 6mm. The shape is really lovely and gives the product a quality contemporized look.
REASONS FOR PURCHASE ~ 'The Apple Of My Eye'
The beauty of liquid eyeliner is that it is very precise, and doesn't take several tries to give your eyes that dramatic look. Applying eyeliner is one of the most preferred ways to emphasize a woman's eyes whether you will use liquid eyeliner or pencil eyeliner you can easily define your eyes and create a classy look.
APPLYING EYELINER TIPS ~ 'A Bird's Eye View'
The phrase 'practice makes perfect' enters my mind when it comes to applying eyeliner! When I first began using this cosmetic over thirty-five years ago, I could have passed for a circus act...and not the attractive side!
I have learned over the years how crucial it is to purchase quality eyeliners; having many times ending up with a very poor result! Although it is best to choose a colour of eyeliner that will enhance the colour of eye shadow used, as I don't wear shadow often, I tend to stick to black eyeliner; same colour as my eyelashes. I do find though, that when I have used eye shadow, the eyeliner is far easier to apply as it adheres to the shadow.
I always apply my eyeliner after all facial make-up except mascara. Although eyeliner has a striking look when applied to both upper and lower lids, I am unable to wear it on the lower lid; my eyes tend to water! In fact, as opposed to pencil eyeliners, liquid eyeliners should only be applied to the upper lid as it is rather cumbrous for the lower lash line. Folks tend to prefer the pencil liner as it affords a classy look, while others, like myself, choose liquid eyeliner as it creates a sophisticated and more striking look.
I have tried various widths in applying liner, but the thicker the breadth, the heavier the lid tends to look; unless of course, you're going for the Marlene Dietrich look (Younger readers, ask mum :D) In the early days, as I hadn't much experience in using this particular form of cosmetic, I had to apply the liner in short strokes, which I found an asset having shakier hands due to lack of confidence; now I'm able to perform a continuous line along the width of the lid.
I find there is no problem if I make an error in application as I just moisten a cue tip with my cream make-up remover. This tool gives me an accurate way of removing mistakes and not the anything else!
USAGE EXPERIENCE OF THE PRODUCT ~ 'Making Eye Contact'
1) Before I begin to apply my liner, I ensure that I have my larger magnified mirror to hand. I also have cue tips and cream make-up remover for any mistakes I may make in applying the liner. I always give the eyeliner container a good shake before opening, this guarantees the contents of this product combine together and is as fluid as possible for the task.
2) If folks are starting this procedure for the first time, a cautious dabbing effect of dissected lines would be wise, then joining up. I rest my arm steady, at an angle on my table surface. If I'm applying during the day, I place myself close to a natural light source. If applying during the evening, I will ensure a well lit lamp is near the mirror. I have my mirror lower than my eye line so that I am looking down. This incline affords me better vision in applying the liner.
3) Although many professionals encourage a start at the centre of the lid, I prefer a point from the inner corner. I unscrew the lid; slide the residue of liquid along the rim of the container to ensure that only a small amount is on the brush. The handle to this product is an absolute pleasure to hold. The holder is smooth hardened plastic, with plenty of room to grip the surface for easy and comfortable application.
The fluid slides off easily onto the rim leaving just the preferred amount. I begin by applying the point of the brush to the inner corner of my top lash line. I carefully and fairly slowly, glide the brush, turning slightly onto its side, along my eye lid until I reach the outer corner. The slim design of the brush affords a much easier application to the lid. The point on the shaped brush is excellent in starting and ending the procedure; a perfectly slim point to these areas.
4) By applying the liner as closely as possible to my lid, I obtain a thinner line; by carefully following the curvature of my eyelid, a natural look is obtained. If the line appears tool thin, I simply build upon the line I've already applied. I do find it fairly difficult even after all these years, to make sure I don't make the centre area too thick. The thinness of the brush makes it simple to carefully build the width of the liner.
RESULTS ~ 'Eye Catching'
The liner dries within a minute to reveal an impressive raven black line. The thin line furnished by the beautifully designed brush accentuates my eyes so even when they appear smaller through tiredness, it changes the shape of my eyes by its curving lines. I have a terrible habit of pulling at my eyelashes after I come home and relax; ending up with mascara smudges and the odd lash less area! The quality liner covers this naturally, being the same shade as my lashes.
I am left with well defined eyes and a smashing compliment to the rest of my make-up. I have experienced no peeling or even flaking of this liner and it last a good five hours before showing wear. Although the pots is no more than 1 ½ inches, the fluid last. I've had it for a couple of months and it's still going strong! I do advise keeping the product tightly closed to avoid the fluid drying out and to avoid bacteria contaminating the product.
WOULD I RECOMMEND? ~ 'Keep An Eye Out'!
Yes, yes and yes! :D This liner has a feel and look of a qaulity product. The liner's design makes it simple to apply. This eye liner is comfortabIe to wear and stays on for many hours. If I recall correctly, I purchased it for £4 through my Avon representative. It is still available but in a black container. It can be purchased through the Avon web site but also at other online sites such as EBay.

The purpose of this study guide is not to indicate exactly what will be on the exam. The ideas (which we have discussed in class) below are intended to help you think about the works we've read and studied this semester. Use these ideas with your notes and own ideas to think about the stories and novels we have read. Don't forget your notes about the history of detective fiction, Conan Doyle, and the critical intro. to the Penguin ed. of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Also, the Course Notes have information to help you study. Finally, check the D2L discussion forum.
Focus on your notes and the texts. Write out practice responses to previous quiz questions and questions you make up. Remember the quiz examples we went over in class. The cards from in-class group work should be helpful.
Also, keeping the stories, adaptations, and novels straight in your mind will require you to know the these works well. Go back through your notes and revise them as needed to clarify these works. Review your adaptation note sheets too.
The exam will cover everything since the midterm--beginning Mar. 19. Also,
there will be a few carry-over works from before the midterm: "The Blue
Carbuncle"; "Silver Blaze"; "The Beryl Coronet"; "A Scandal in Bohemia"
Possible question types:
- Multiple choice, matching, or fill in the blank*
- Short Answer*
- Identifications: You will identify a passage (title of a story or novel) and explain its significance. (I will not give you obscure passages.) NEW
- Essay (11/2-2pgs) Will focus on a single work or on two works
(compare/contrast) NEW
**Like quiz questions.
For the exam, you will have some choices.
Time for midterm: 90 mins. (You will have the full class period--2 hrs--if you wish.)
Think about the main ideas/themes in each work below (consider the Holmes stories as a collection) as well as the relationship among the stories and the two novels (e.g., concept of chivalry; game playing; science/reason/God vs imagination/feeling/daily life). Add your own ideas to those below.
Sherlock Holmes Stories
Holmes and Moriarty--antagonists/master criminal/game playing
Role of legends/rituals
Threat from abroad/empire (e.g., "The Crooked Man")
Themes from the midterm study guide will also apply here.
Sherlock Holmes Adaptations
Adaptation: We consider two theories this semester: fidelity and auteur. Key questions we raised were 1.) What purpose does an adaptation serve for contemporary viewers who may or may not have read (or even be familiar with) the Holmes stories? and 2) and why does an adapation maintain some links with the original and change or transform other characters, plot details, themes, etc.? Is an adaptation an interpretation of an original work or itself "original"? Consider the adaptations we have reviewed and our excellent class discussions. Think about how characters are adapted, role of visuals/music, plots, and themes.
The Lost World
Differences in characters and how they interact/relate to each other
Romance--exploration--Malone as a knight on a quest--glory and distinction/Gladys--false idol/goal
Malone as journalist and narrator
Life as a game--Lord Roxton passage we looked at
Science and imagination
Human nature--biology/evolution--what does it mean to be human?/how has society evolved?

Relationship of Alleyne, John, and Sam
Medievalism: The view of the past (Anglo-Saxons/Nomans--church/abbey--changing world) and relationship to the Victorian present (PP slides/my essay)
Sir Nigel--view of chivalry/social class (e.g., peasants seige of Castle Villefranche)/view of the church--religion
Adventure--plot--description of dramatic scenes--contests and battles

CLEARWATER — After an exhaustive study of the Clearwater Police Department, the city is considering eliminating a Clearwater Beach community policing team to save money.
That's the recommendation of consultants who were hired to assess Clearwater's police force and how efficiently it operates. They say the four-officer BeachWalk team is expendable because Clearwater Beach can be adequately patrolled by other police officers who are assigned to that district.
If the team is phased out, the city would save nearly $312,000 in salaries and benefits. But city leaders aren't sure they're willing to give up such a visible police presence in Clearwater's main tourist area.
They think the community officers are a deterrent against crime. They had the same reaction to a recommendation that Clearwater cut the number of bicycle officers in downtown and the East Gateway district from seven to four, which would save more than $220,000.
"With the bike team downtown and BeachWalk, we want to avoid problems. We're very much into the ounce-of-prevention side of things," said Mayor Frank Hibbard.
Still, city officials will have to make some unpopular decisions this year.
City Manager Bill Horne noted that police officers are needed at the beach to deal with problems like underage drinking, panhandling around Pier 60 and petty crimes like iPods stolen from beach blankets.
But Horne must cut $7 million to $13 million from next year's budget and is looking for ways to trim costs. He's asking City Council members if they're willing to part ways with the BeachWalk squad. They'll discuss it at their meeting Thursday night.
Police Chief Sid Klein argued to keep the BeachWalk team.
"We've never had a better spring break than the one we just went through," he said. "They're getting results out there."
Matrix Consulting Group, the firm that analyzed the Police Department, said the beach community officers and downtown bike officers are doing their jobs, but their roles are less crucial than other things that Clearwater's police force does.
"You're getting effective law enforcement out of these units," said consultant Travis Miller. "But the question is, if you had to go find half a million dollars in savings in this department, where would you go?"
Their other findings include:
• The Police Department is efficiently run. There is little waste, and it is not too top-heavy with administrators.
• Clearwater wouldn't save much money if it had the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office take over law enforcement in the city. This question comes up from time to time.
• The city could save $660,000 by changing officers' work schedules from four 10-hour shifts to five eight-hour shifts.
Although the police chief made a case for keeping the BeachWalk officers, Horne responded that every top official in the city government could make a case for keeping all of their programs and employees.
"We have a limited amount of money, and we have to make the decision about how to allocate that money," said City Council member John Doran. "In a perfect world, we would continue the BeachWalk team. But we have to make a policy decision that's going to be very difficult."

Don't do that unless you have Solaris 10
What I do recommend is that you change the root users home directory location to /root and nothing more fancy than that.
You can edit the /etc/passwd file and change the entry for the root user thus :
Be very diligent about creating the root users home directory right away and ensure that it is only readable by the root
user :
# mkdir /root
# chmod 700 /root
# chown root:root /root
Also, you may be wondering why you should not change the root users default shell to bash.
Simply put, any other shell than /sbin/sh will be a dynamically linked executable with dependencies.
If you were to check /sbin/sh you would find that it is a standalone program :
$ ldd /sbin/sh
ldd: /sbin/sh: file is not a dynamic executable or shared object
That means that your machine can suffer some horrible disaster and still be able to function in single user mode if you
can boot the kernel and get to a running shell with the root user. That is becuase the root user only needs /sbin/sh to
have a fully functional shell. If you were to use bash or any other shell then you would need a stack of dependencies.
Those dependencies may not exist if they are on some other file system or on a damaged file system.

The annual North Atlantic Seafood Forum (NASF), which took place in Bergen, Norway, from March 5 to 8, was a fantastic success for all involved.
More than 620 delegates from 45 countries were in attendance, with the focus on consumer expectations, sustainable and responsible practice, food chain security and the promotion of aquaculture as the world's most environmentally friendly agribusiness, with the lowest carbon footprint. Alltech and our partner Produs Aqua, were right in the center of it all, contributing to the discussion and sharing our knowledge and experience.
Some of the key players shared their views on the challenges facing the aquaculture industry and what they think the future of aquaculture will look like.

An active offseason that witnessed some of baseball's best players changing teams clearly would buoy some and sink others. For the following five teams, their offseason moves could vault them into bona fide postseason contention and divisional relevance, due mainly to the wheeling and dealing of their general managers. Here are five GMs who have improved their clubs to "win now" (tomorrow: five GMs who helped their teams long-term):
1. Jerry Dipoto, Los Angeles Angels
In Albert Pujols, the Angels acquired the best power hitter in the game, and they stole left-hander C.J. Wilson, the ace of the division rival Texas Rangers, and slotted him into their rotation behind Jered Weaver and Dan Haren. Dipoto also tendered a contract to first baseman Kendrys Morales, who has recovered from a serious leg injury. Morales offers another possible 100-RBI bat in the lineup with Pujols. Another key acquisition was reliever LaTroy Hawkins, who helped the Brewers win the NL Central in 2011 with critical sixth- and seventh-inning appearances. His veteran leadership should be valuable to a young closer and bullpen. In all, the Angels are poised for the postseason and perhaps to take back the American League West.

6 Killer Heels From Shoe God Christian Louboutin
I'll admit that I've always been mystified by designer shoes. The logic of spending hundreds or thousands of dollars to wear what amounts to not just one spiky torture device but two is totally lost on me. Still, I can appreciate Christian Louboutin–he of the glossy scarlet soles and the slender, towering stilettos–on pure aesthetic grounds. As a forthcoming exhibit at the Design Museum in London shows, the guy knows how to make a hot shoe.
Christian Louboutin surveys 20 years of the French fashion icon's footwear designs, from lace-up boots and studded sneakers to crystal-encrusted stilettos and sky-high fetish heels that'd make Betty Paige blush. "Louboutin's shoes are the epitome of style, glamour, power, femininity and elegance," the museum says. And all the right people seem to agree: Madge and Lady Gaga count among Louboutin's loyal boldface fans.
But his success was hardly a shoo-in (pardon the pun). He wasn't formally trained, and before he started his own brand in 1991, he worked as a garden designer. During his teenage years, he hung around stage doors in Paris and took an internship sewing buttons and feathers at Folies Bergère–experiences that no doubt shaped his theatrical sensibility. His genius has been to take the oozing sex appeal of showgirls and cabaret and turn it into a footwear empire. Louboutin is clearly some kind of artist. Now if he could just figure out how to make a 6-inch heel comfortable, that'd really be a work of art.

text: Normally rest is the top priority for football players in their time off between sessions of two-a-days. However, it sounds like many of Utah's players had better spend this afternoon studying before their next practice tonight. Utah coach Kyle Whittingham was happy with the way the starters practiced, but as for the others, he couldn't find anything positive to say. "They ddidn't do a good job with the block schemes," he said. "The center-quarterback exchange wasn't good, something basic as the c-q exchange wasn't good so there really was no bright spot with the twos. Without Vyncent (Jones) and Miles (Mason), that necessitated putting some guys in with the twos that have little or no experience but like I said they have to get in their playbooks and get up to speed. It's not a crisis and it's something to be expected in a way but still when you drop two you have to step up and perform." Jones and Mason are offensive linemen who continue to be sidelined with injuries and could be out for several weeks. Whittingham's criticism of the backups is an almost annual occurrence for him during camp. It seems he often likes to challenge the second and third string guys every year by singling them out at some point. It's hard to argue with his tactic though since the Utes rarely have much of a dropoff from the first to second string once the season starts. A couple of the backups who are having good camps include freshman lineman Kala Friel, safety Terrell Reese, receiver Sean Fitzgerald and tight ends Westlee Tonga and Jake Murphy. Another player to watch is linebacker Jason Whittingham, the coach's nephew who is taking some reps with the starters. "He is really having a good camp as far as his pass rush," Kyle Whittingham said. "We bring that strong side off the edge quite often and he has a real feel for rushing the quarterback." As for the tight ends, Tonga, Murphy, David Rolf, Dallin Rogers and Kendrick Moeai have all looked solid and they form a group Whittingham is excited to see on the field. "No one is separating themselves but they all will play a role for us," he said. Moeai (shoulder) and Rogers (knee) missed spring ball while recovering from injuries. Receiver Anthony Denham returned to practice after being sidelined with knee tendinitis. Whittingham anticipated another hard practice this afternoon. "The physicality will still be there," he said. "It will be shorter, but training camp is a grind, that is what it is meant to be."

Seattle, WA (November 20, 2013) — You can describe Ride Snowboards Pro Team rider Jake Blauvelt in many ways, but two words that resonate with the dynamic rider are: Well Balanced. From his aggressive riding to everyday life, Jake focuses tons of his energy on being well balanced. Yes, Jake kills it on the board, but to be able to consistently perform at such a high level demands dedication and hard work. Jake eats well, unplugs from everything by going fly-fishing, and knows he's super fortunate to be able to do what he does. In the final segment – which drops today – of Ride's six-part video series "Because of Snowboarding," Jake brings us into his world of riding by explaining the pressures that surround performing for the camera, his film project "Naturally," and the importance of having fun snowboarding and "dancing to the beat of your own drum."
Jake's segment – http://ridesnowboards.com/videos/because-of-snowboarding-jake-blauvelt
Each series segment is dedicated to highlighting a different pro rider, and captures the personal stories and intimacy each rider has with snowboarding. "Because of Snowboarding" is directed and produced by Crispin Cannon and Shaun Anderson of The Solidarity Union, with a new segment launching each week.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio claimed he didn't hear a rabbi's shocking rant about Open Orthodoxy and non-Orthodox Jews, despite sitting just a few feet away.
Rabbi Yaakov Perlow, of the ultra-Orthodox Agudath Israel, doesn't approve of Emily Hauser's Conservative Judaism. Well, guess what? She doesn't approve of his, either.
A top Orthodox rabbi condemned other streams of Judaism and called the religiously progressive Open Orthodox movement heretical at the Agudath Israel gala.

Jason Derulo to join Alicia Keys in Dubai
Alicia Keys' upcoming Dubai concert on November 15 just got bigger – because she's not the only one coming back to the UAE. R&B sensation Jason Derulo, who performed in the city last year, will join Keys as a special guest at the 14,000 capacity Dubai Media City Amphitheatre, organisers have announced.
The 23-year-old Ridin' Solo singer's Dubai performance in November last year was a triumphant return of sorts, following an almost-fatal accident during rehearsals earlier in the year. Derulo fractured a vertebrae in his neck, which almost ended up paralysing him.
"It's a crazy feeling. Coming back, it's been about a year-and-a-half since people have seen me on the scene because of my injury. To be received so well when I'm coming back is really something special," he said in a statement sent out by organisers Done Events.
Since his Number 1 2009 debut with Whatcha Say, Derulo has sold more than 25 million tracks worldwide with a string of hits including Don't Wanna Go Home, In My Head and It Girl. His latest single The Other Side marks his sixth Billboard Top 10 single.
*Tickets to the Alicia Keys Set the World on Fire concert featuring Jason Derulo are now on sale. Prices start Dh295 on doneevents.com

It is time to install metal detectors at the Franklin County administration building.
While it is an expensive proposition, it is time to enhance security to protect both county employees and members of the public who use the facility.
The extra layer of security would be a welcome addition for many county employees who feel uneasy over increasingly angry and even hostile citizens they interact with on a daily basis.
Recent tragedies involving deranged citizens and public officials have created a heightened awareness across the nation to security issues.
County officials have taken additional precautions by adding more uniformed and plainclothes law enforcement officers and beefing up their contract security force, especially during commission meetings.
But the risk exists beyond commission meetings according to county employees.
We believe that government should be accessible to the people who pay their salaries. But that expectation comes with reasonable limitations. No government employee should feel vulnerable or threatened in dealing with the public.
While unfortunate, installing metal detectors at the administration building is a necessary precaution that the county should pursue as it evaluates all of its security efforts.

Vine with invasive potential must be kept in check
Q: This plant is growing in one of my clients' yards. It was there when she bought the property 10 years ago. Then I saw it at Kanapaha Botanical Gardens in Gainesville. What is it?
Cindy Kamelhair, Clearwater
A: The plant pictured is a vine called Clematis terniflora. It goes by the common name sweet autumn clematis. It is an introduced species that has the capability of becoming invasive, so you will need to keep it in bounds. I have to thank my colleague Andy Wilson at the Pinellas County Cooperative Extension Service for the correct identification.
Classes can teach about landscaping
Q: I am in the swimming pool business (weekly service, repair, remodeling and soon construction) and am looking to possibly add landscaping services to that list. I am interested in xeriscaping and knowing what plants are best for our region and their care and feeding. I also want to learn what palms and various shrubs and plants require as far as fertilizing, water, etc. Can you recommend any books or classes?
Chad Hoffman, Land O'Lakes
A: It sounds like you have a great idea. There are two main venues in Pinellas County for classes: the Pinellas Technical Education Centers horticulture department in St. Petersburg and the Pinellas County Cooperative Extension Service in Largo. Contact Bonnie Desmond at PTEC to set up an appointment and discuss the courses that will work for you at (727) 893-2500, ext. 1101. For the extension service, call Jane Morse, our commercial horticulture agent, at (727) 582-2100. The extension offers one-day training seminars.
Plenty to do in our yards
Q: Is it a good idea to have our lawn serviced this month? My lawn looks good and only about 5 percent is brown. Should we skip February treatment and wait until March?
Lenora Stewart, St. Petersburg
A: There are plenty of things for your lawn professionals to do. It is a great time to re-mulch plant beds, prune, fertilize, clean the dead-wood out of trees (which can be hazardous), just to name a few. They can even take down the Christmas lights if they're still up! Just because the grass isn't growing doesn't mean there isn't plenty to do. In fact, when the grass is growing, it is hard to get the other stuff done!

NAACP forum to focus on transportation, employment issues
Forum Thursday at St. Luke's Church
Published 4:49 pm, Tuesday, June 17, 2014
NEW HAVEN >> Real stories from real people.
That is what the Greater New Haven branch of the NAACP hopes to gain at a public forum on transportation and employment to be held at 7 p.m. Thursday at St. Luke's Church, 111 Whalley Ave.
The branch, with partners that include the South Central Regional Council of Governments, Workforce Alliance and Data Haven, has studied the issue of transportation in the last year, an outgrowth of the work done for its Urban Apartheid Report released in 2013.
The data-driven Urban Apartheid Report showed vast economic, educational, health and other inequities between people of color and whites in Greater New Haven. Transportation was identified in the report as a critical issue.
"Transportation as it affects jobs and employment opportunities has now become a civil rights issue," said former NAACP branch President James Rawlings.
"The lack of reliable public transportation, combined with the sprawling distribution of jobs across our metropolitan area, may be the largest barrier that residents face in accessing employment.
"In New Haven County, African-American workers are six times more likely to rely on public transportation than non-minority workers," the report said. "A very large share of our younger residents and low-income families are unable to afford a reliable vehicle, and many elderly or disabled residents are unable to drive."
Branch executive board member and technical adviser James Rawlins, who has been assisting with the transportation task force and helping to facilitate the upcoming forum, said the hope is to "gather more of a voice."
"What we know today is that within the city, a large portion of the middle- to lower-income population has a need for public transportation," Rawlins said.
Yet, because of transportation challenges, it can be very difficult to find work or keep a job, he said.
Many people have to travel outside the city to more suburban areas for work and public transportation availability varies, he said.
"It creates more of a hardship for people who want to change their quality of life and do not have a car or can't drive," Rawlins said. "We believe it is very important for members of the community who are challenged by this reality to come to the meeting."
Part of the reality is that individuals who live in suburbia often commute into New Haven for the higher-paying jobs and people in lower-paying jobs have to travel to suburbia, he said.
Among issues are the need to create more jobs in the city and to find ways to make it less of a hardship for those who have to travel, he said.
NAACP member and New Haven business owner Howard K. Hill said the research and meeting are about transportation and job access, with transportation options not necessarily working well for those who need them
"It is really, really important that we show up in strong numbers to be able to influence how public transportation serves the community," Hill said.

Honesty? Integrity? Ethics? Alphabetis??? Really??? ROFL! : I should add stupidity too

I may be new to this game but i've seen/read plenty of mud slinging by the accusers more than the accused which brings to mind the old saying 'people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'

Baylor guard Odyssey Sims selected to be part of World University Games team
In 2011, Baylor guard Odyssey Sims was a part of the USA World University Games team that won the gold medal. She'll have an opportunity to add a second gold medal since she was one of 12 chosen to be a part of this year's competition in Russia.
In the 2011 games, Sims averaged 6.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. She's coming off a junior season where she was an All-Big 12 first team player.

A few weeks ago, Southwest Airlines added yet another fee to its ever-expanding list of ala carte charges. Now, you'll have to fork over $40 at the gate if you want to board the plane with the first group of passengers.
The discount carrier doesn't offer assigned seats like United and American Airlines, but will bump you to the coveted group "A" boarding if you cough up the extra cash. The offer begins 45 minutes before the flight departs, though is only available if the slots are not filled by elite and business select passengers who pay upfront for the benefit of boarding first.
The move is a blow to budget-conscious travelers who want to get the most bang for their buck. After all, who wants to pay extra for benefits? Then again, who wants to pay more at all when they can pay the least amount possible to get to their vacation destination?
If you are looking to save on airfare, keep a close eye on the calendar. According to new research by CheapAir.com, the best time to book a domestic flight is 49 days in advance. If you're flying internationally, you should book roughly 80 days out. For those who struggle with commitment, experts say you can still save on domestic flights provided you purchase your ticket at least two weeks in advance of your trip. If you wait longer than that you will pay a pretty penny. Or, more like thousands of pennies. Domestic flights that would normally cost less than $400 when booked two weeks in advance jump to about $625 when you wait until the last minute to pay.
The flipside to planning too far in advance is another hit to your wallet. According to CheapAir, travelers who booked 210 days before their departure date ended up paying nearly $100 more for a domestic ticket. The exception comes when you are booking for a high-traffic time, like Thanksgiving. In this case, CheapAir experts recommend booking 96 days in advance to get the most affordable airfare.

Death Penalty Trial of Georgia Millionaire Jim Sullivan
The death penalty trial of James Sullivan, a Georgia millionaire accused of hiring a hit man to kill his wife 19 years ago, begins today. Court TV is airing it live.
On the day of a crucial hearing in her divorce, Atlanta socialite Lita Sullivan opened her door to a deliveryman who handed her a box of roses and fired a gunshot into her head. Almost 20 years later, her millionaire husband James Sullivan will stand trial for her murder.
Sullivan was previously acquitted of lesser related charges in a federal court, and then fled to Thailand from where he fought extradition for two years and ultimately was returned to the U.S. to stand trial on the murder charge.
Sullivan's defense lawyers are top-notch: Don Samuel and Ed Garland of Atlanta. Opening arguments are set for this afternoon. If you're by a tv and want to see good lawyering in a case involving everything from "wealth, greed and sex to class warfare, international intrigue and a fugitive on the run.", this is it.

2013 - Call For Papers
Society for Mormon Philosophy and Theology Tenth Annual Meeting
October 31–November 2, 2013
Utah Valley University
Orem, Utah
Theme: The Atonement
Click here for PDF version of this Call for Papers
The Society for Mormon Philosophy and Theology invites paper proposals on any aspect of Mormon belief, including its philosophical ramifications. We particularly encourage submissions on this year's theme.
"The fundamental principles of our religion," said Joseph Smith, "are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended into heaven; and all other things which pertain to our religion are only appendages to it."
The atonement of Christ is at the very center of Mormonism, as, indeed, of virtually all forms of Christianity, ancient and modern. Within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it is commemorated every week as the central feature of congregational worship, and the crucial event that enables believers to overcome sin and live anew. The sacrament prayers—the only prayers that are prescribed and that must be repeated, verbatim, in the Church—commit those who partake of the bread and water to "always" remember the wounded body of Christ, and his blood, "which was shed for them," and Latter-day Saints are urged to reflect upon his sacrifice, then and always. The key ordinances of baptism and the giving of the Holy Spirit symbolically recall Christ's death and resurrection. The atonement is a central theme throughout the Book of Mormon, and the Doctrine and Covenants also offers unique perspectives on it.
Yet the atonement is also one of the greatest mysteries of theology, and controversies over its nature and extent have defined deep schisms within Christianity. Restoration scripture may clarify the nature and significance of the atonement, but also raises fresh questions.
Topics falling under this theme might include but are not limited to:
- Biblical accounts of atonement
- Competing or complementary models of the atonement
- Grace, responsibility, and atonement
- Theological vs. scriptural accounts
- Restoration scriptures on the atonement
- Locating the atonement: Gethsemane, the cross, or the Incarnation as a whole?
- Sin and the meaning of redemption
- Historical developments
- Atonement and divine judgment
- LDS & traditional Christian accounts—contrasts and common ground
- The need for and effects of atonement
- The impact of culture on views of the atonement
- Does the concept of a vicarious atonement make sense? How can such an act be said to "satisfy the demands of justice" (Alma 34:16)?
- Have Latter-day Saint attitudes toward the atonement and the centrality of Christ changed over time? If so, how and why?
- Do distinctive Mormon beliefs regarding human agency, the nature of God, or prospects for exaltation call for a distinctive conception of the atonement?
Submission Information
Papers on the conference theme are particularly encouraged, but proposals on any aspect of Mormon belief will receive full consideration.
Authors may submit either (a) a full paper, or (b) a précis:
(a) Papers should be suitable for a reading time of 25–30 minutes (3500 words maximum). Longer papers (up to 9,000 words) may be submitted in full, with the understanding that they will be revised for presentation.
(b) A précis should be about 800 words in length, and summarize the argument of the paper.
Please send submissions in RTF, PDF, or MS Word format, to SMPT Secretary Benjamin Huff at email@example.com, by email attachment. Include author's full name and contact information, and title and word count for the paper or précis.
The Society welcomes submissions by students.Submission deadline: 23 August 2013
Authors will be notified of acceptance during the first week of September.
For more information, visit our web site at http://www.smpt.org/, or contact Benjamin Huff at firstname.lastname@example.com, or SMPT President Daniel C. Peterson at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Student Travel Funding
SMPT has some funding available, on a competitive basis, to defray travel costs for student presenters. Travel funding awards of a value up to $700 each will be made on the basis of (a) merit of the proposal and (b) distance of travel to Orem. Students interested in travel support should indicate their institution, degree sought, and subject at the time of paper/proposal submission, and should provide a brief statement of need, including their point of origin for travel to the conference, major mode of transportation (e.g. air, train, personal vehicle) to Orem, and availability of travel funding from other sources, such as their home department, if any.

The Soccernet Quiniela - Week Five - Group Therapy
After 14 La Liga weeks, we already have a decent pool of hard data that allows us to group teams into clusters with similar behaviour. These clusters should provide us with insight to build our quinielas, and together with our Commandments should combine for a killer prediction tool.
For instance, there's one group of teams that we could call the Pony and Trap Club (unfamiliar with cockney rhyming slang? Let's just say they're not very good). Proud members include Xerez, Málaga, Zaragoza, Almería and Espanyol. You can safely predict defeat as their default result unless they play against each other, in which case 'X' is a pretty safe bet. However, pay close attention to them, as at least one of these sides will undergo a resurrection in the second half of the season.
A second cluster, the Adulterers, prefers to play away from home: Sevilla, Valencia, Athletic, Deportivo and even Real Madrid (more on this one later on) belong to this category. Whenever they are the visiting side, '2' is a more than good option, but you should be cautions when they play at home, even against theoretically inferior opposition.
In stark contrast, Mallorca, Sporting and Tenerife (aka the Loyal Husbands), enforce their home-field advantage, but have difficulties getting points away from home and, in my humble opinion, have overachieved so far. Their squads are short and they should suffer a slump in the second half of the season (married life will do that to you eventually, or so they say).
Then we have the Late Bloomers, teams that have improved following a dubious start and should have a better second half of the season: Villarreal, Racing and Getafe all fit into this fellowship. They'll probably attract new members after the winter transfer window closes.
The following group, the Question Marks, sometimes give you the impression that they should be doing better, but then you also feel that they could collapse at any point in time. Mighty Atlético, Osasuna and Valladolid belong here.
And finally, we have Juggernauts Barcelona, who while not at the same level as last year, have learned to win even when they don't play well.
That is probably why last week's quiniela wasn't really a surprising one. One of my readers achieved a record eight correct results and demanded recognition. Dear quinielaers, I'm afraid you'll have to get a perfect ten to get mentioned in this column. I got a reasonable six, and none of the results I missed seemed shocking or far-fetched.
Now that we know all this, are we ready to go after the perfect ten? As usual, it's '1' for a home win, 'X' for a draw and '2' for an away win.
1. Valladolid (13th) - Sporting (9th): 2.
Kings of the draw Valladolid (seven stalemates in 14 matches, including their last three) entertain one of the Loyal Husbands (one win in seven away matches for Sporting). It looks like a potential win for the pucelanos, but here is why we need to do our weekly homework religiously: Valladolid will sorely miss three core players (striker Diego Costa, midfielder Borja and legendary left full-back Marcos) due to suspensions and injury.
Having that in mind, this is a unique testing ground for Sporting to learn how to win away from home. Making the most of easy chances is how Loyal Husbands become great Adulterers (again, this is just word of mouth).
2. Sevilla (3rd) - Getafe (8th): 1.
Quiniela-busters Sevilla have one more chance to redeem themselves. Remember their draws against Málaga and Valladolid? This time they play a much better side, Getafe, who have won three of their last four.
However, four Getafe starters (striker Soldado, midfielders Casquero and Celestini and defender Cortés) won't be able to play on Sunday. Sevilla cannot fail to win this match. They just can't (yes, I am trying to talk myself into this).
3. Tenerife (12th) - Atlético (14th): 1.
Atlético's gaffer Quique Sánchez Flores after last week's home defeat to Villarreal: "The worst is yet to come". I didn't mistype that quote. Quique wasn't confusing "best" and "worst", nor was he trying to imitate Frank Sinatra. He firmly believes that things will get even worse for Atlético. Who am I to argue?
4. Villarreal (10th) - Racing (15th): 1.
Two Late Bloomers face to face. In this case I'll go with Villarreal making the most of their home-field advantage (Commandment #4: when in doubt, '1'). The yellow machine is slowly getting some traction, and should be back in the European spots by the end of January.
Side note: can we get odds on Nicola Zigic leaving Valencia in the winter transfer window and going to Racing for the third time? This deal has worked so well for all parties involved in the past, why not do it again?
5. Xerez (20th) - Barcelona (1st): 2.
Yes, I do follow La Liga and am well aware of the fact that this match was actually played two weeks ago, due to Barça's trip to Abu Dhabi for the Club World Cup. The blaugranas won 2-0.
However, I feel absolutely entitled to act as if I knew nothing about that, make my own prediction (a '2', of course) and even pretend I'm happily surprised by the result on Sunday. After all, last week I announced that this column would ride Barça until the end of the season, and I wouldn't have thought of any outcome other than a '2' for a match in which the President of the Pony and Trap Club hosts the Juggernaut.
And if you didn't see this one coming... well, you don't know me well enough.
6. Espanyol (17th) - Almería (16th): 1.
Here's when clusters and Commandments collide. According to the former, a match between two members of the Pony and Trap Club should end up in a draw. Applying the latter, 'You shall ride negative streaks unless an extreme event happens', no La Liga streak is worse than Espanyol's. The periquitos have lost their last five, and have not scored a single goal in that spell.
However, one could argue that, judging by the uproar among Espanyol's players, fans and executives, last week's defeat at the Camp Nou could have a galvanising effect, becoming the extreme event that changes Espanyol's fortunes. The Almería camp is hardly quiet either: on Wednesday, President Alfonso García Gabarrón said that he "can't say for sure that Hugo [Sanchez] will keep his job much longer".
Let's solve this the easy way: Commandment #4 states that "When in doubt, you shall pick 1". End of story.
7. Deportivo (6th) - Valencia (4th): 1.
In an interesting contest for the fourth spot (Champions League territory), a Loyal Husband plays host to an Adulterer. Valencia have won their last five away matches, which makes them the Julian (Richard Gere's character in "American Gigolo") of La Liga.
However, the valencianistas have a tough midweek Europa League match at Genoa, right after their draining home defeat against Real Madrid. Depor will play against a worn out ché side dying to go on their Christmas break. '1' looks good here.
8. Real Madrid (2nd) - Zaragoza (18th): 1.
While the overly optimistic Madrid media are already celebrating the best Real Madrid side of all time - on Monday, Marca's Santiago Segurola said that "Pellegrini has built the most exciting Real Madrid team in the last decade" - call me stubborn, but I still have my reservations.
Despite their impeccable La Liga home record, Real Madrid have not played a single consistent match at the Bernabéu yet. Their brightest moments have all happened away (Camp Nou, Marseille and Valencia), thus the 'Adulterer' tag. I need to see more to believe they will deliver in their home deeds.
And talking about beliefs: if you don't consider yourself superstitious, I'll make you think twice about that. Last Saturday, Pepe gave an interview to El País in which he mentioned that he was extremely happy to have broken what he called "the Real Madrid centre-back curse".
According to Pepe, no merengue player had been able to occupy the centre-back position consistently following the retirement of Fernando Hierro. That was until Kleper Laverian 'Pepe' arrived in Madrid. He was the Chosen One, the new centre-back Messiah. The night after this interview, Pepe damaged the ligaments in his right knee against Valencia, and is out for six months. Note to Ezequiel Garay and Raúl Albiol: keep your mouths shut, please.
After one point in five matches, visitors Zaragoza decided to fire boss Marcelino García Toral. His temporary replacement, José Aurelio Gay, is a former Real Madrid and Zaragoza player, so it should be an emotional debut... except for the highly likely thumping the maños will suffer.
I'll be watching this one from the Bernabéu's Palco Presidencial (the Presidential Box, no less), don't ask me how. Plenty of gossip guaranteed next Thursday...
9. Athletic (7th) - Osasuna (11th): 1.
Osasuna are already showing signs of exhaustion, and we haven't even reached the halfway point of the season. The winter break should help them to recover some of their spark, but until then, I don't see them getting too many points and even less so against a hungry-for-European-spots Athletic at the San Mamés.
10. Málaga (19th) - Mallorca (5th): X.
I know I have mentioned Gregorio Manzano's annual salary before (1.8 million euros), but now I'll give you some additional data: not even one single Mallorca player makes anywhere close to that amount. How many coaches make more money than all of their players? Not even The Special One, José Mourinho, has gone this far. And I don't think a single Mallorca fan disagrees with this.
Mallorca are on a roll (only one defeat in their last eight matches, and it was at Camp Nou), while Málaga have not won since the first match of the season. Will they break the spell? Don't think so. Not against 'Professor Apple Tree' (Manzano).
Last week: 6/10
Season's total: 18/40 (45%)

El CAJON CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP
Topic: East County Performing Arts Center renovations
When: 1:30 p.m. Tuesday
Where: Council chambers, 200 Civic Center Way, El Cajon
El Cajon should spend $4.3 million to renovate the East County Performing Arts Center to turn it into a successful facility with up to 48 shows a year by top performers, according to a new report.
But despite the infusion of capital, the center would still lose about $57,000 annually.
The report by consultant Kurt Swanson and Deputy City Manager/Director of Public Works Rob Turner was commissioned by El Cajon officials to decide on the future of the 1,145-seat center that has lost money since it opened in 1977.
In December, the city ended its contract with ArtBeat Management, a subsidiary of Christian Youth Theater, to manage the center. The center is expected to stay closed for two years, except for a few shows already scheduled through May.
The report said the center should be operated more like a business, bringing in headline performers like Kenny Loggins, The Oak Ridge Boys or Paul Anka, instead of local talent or lesser-known artists who have performed there in the past.
"This plan is bold and, like most things worth doing, contains an element of risk," the report said. "We acknowledge the tickets might not sell."
The City Council is scheduled to discuss plans for the East County theater at a workshop Tuesday. If the council agrees with the renovation plan, the center would reopen in September 2011.
Demolishing the building or keeping it closed still would cost the city thousands of dollars without bringing in any revenue and would hinder economic recovery downtown.
The best choice is renovating the center and reopening it, Swanson wrote.
"Although the current facility has its drawbacks, with the lack of meeting and conference space perhaps the most glaring, it has one tremendous attribute. It already exists," the report said.
Needed renovations include $800,000 for a new roof; $280,000 for a new main entrance on Main Street; $200,000 for upgrades to make the center more accessible for the disabled; and $750,000 for stage lighting and drapery.
The center would be managed by contract and part-time employees hired by the city manager, would aggressively promote its events and would be rented out on days it isn't being used for performances.
With the rentals and 48 shows a year, the center would lose about $57,000 a year, far less than the current subsidies, the report said.
Ron Shelby, president of the Grossmont Community Concert Association, a nonprofit that puts on shows at the performing arts center, said he was pleased with the plans.
"A key issue is that to be successful, the theater must have qualified, experienced management," Shelby said.
Ray Lutz, an El Cajon-area resident who has been critical of the center's management, said more information is needed about how the shows will be marketed. Lutz also said the report unrealistically assumes audiences will immediately return to the performing arts center after years of decline.
"The analysis should include a realistic ramp-up time, including the likely losses in the first several years, until the business reaches its peak," he said.
El Cajon took over operation of the performing arts center in 1996, and the city has spent more than $6 million on the facility since — an average subsidy of $403,000 a year. Officials say the center is too large to consistently draw sold-out crowds, but too small to host conferences, seminars and other large gatherings. It has no meeting space.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Each city in our county, and each business in those cities needs and deserves the collective strength of our combined talents.
The chamber provides an excellent forum to examine, discuss, evaluate and influence the path to increased economic stability. And, our chamber can be whatever its newest amalgamation wants it to be.
You can get to know us better in several ways ? read our newsletter online, visit our events, or call me.
The staff can answer questions about what's developing and how to get close to the action.
Ambassadors are available to show you the ropes. We'd like to welcome interested people.
