Undenied is a unique fragrance that strives to epitomize the enduring strength and character of those battling breast cancer each and every day.

I really love this brush. I don't know if I have a different model or what but mine isn't twist up. It pops up when the cap is put on the bottom. It is a sleek beautiful little brush. I think its nifty. I don't wear lipstick, especially potted lipstick but I keep it just in case, and to apply gloss. It is just too cute and neat.

I'm actually using this brush to apply that horrid Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer. I wanted a brush that was small and had a cover so the concealer wouldn't get all over my fingers and my makeup bag. This brush works really well and is good quality.

i really wanted to get a lip brush, but im not sure why. i didnt need it. but this one functions pretty well, and is apparently also an eyeliner brush. so for $13 if i think of this as a 2-in-one deal, then i guess this is a good investment. i dont think i would repurchase though, id probably just go to the drugstore.

Just got one of these today. i hardly use a lip brush, but the only one I had was a mini clinique one that came with the old GWP potted lip glosses years ago. (my orig lip brush was the fuller size that came with the full size lip glosses in a pot and I lost it in college during makeup prep for my dance recital) . after searching ebay for years I managed to locate the GWP size, but its so small hard to use.
I really like this brush, nice silver case. lid pops off and brush twists up (I had one too I think Mary kay after placing the lid on the bottom the brush would pop up, which I like better than twist)
but I like this brush head, not too thick or thin.
I still much prefer the smaller green brush that came with my potted lip gloss but Ive not been able to find one.

I bought this lip brush about two months ago and it has never left my purse since. I mainly use it to touch up applications, seldomly to apply lipstick to my lips. The bristles are nice and soft, but don't pick up too much colour. My only qualm with this product is (and maybe I just got a bad one) is that the cap of the brush tends to fall off. Other than that, this brush hasn't shed once and is fantastic for my needs. I only marked "will not buy again" because I think I'll try out other lip brushes first, but this is most definitely a great brush.

there may have been a problem with this brush - i didn't use it much only for applying 'Red Licquorice' lipstick also by Clinique - anyway it shed it's bristles badly - i didn't bother to return or complain but on that basis no way would i repurchase again, an awful product, and i looked after it too. very disappointed.

I got this as a part of the Clinique Global Brush Set. The price is excellent, and the packaging is very convenient (retractable). Initially, I thought that the the bristles were too hard, but over time it became softer. The control is good, although it is time-consuming for a broad application. In other words, great for defining fine lines, but won't pick up enough lip color for sweeping across the lips. There was no shedding, and so far so good.

Daily Show uses two segments to ridicule Florida Family Association's All-American Muslim protest
No one can denounce hypocrisy, bigotry and nonsense more deftly than the fine minds at Jon Stewart's Daily Show.
And they may have outdone themselves with Tuesday's show, devoting two segments to the protests by Tampa-based Florida Family Association against the harmless TLC show All-American Muslim.
In the first segment, Stewart takes on the protest itself, noting that criticizing a show for not airing the stereotypical, unfair view some people have of Muslims as rooted in terrorism makes little sense. Particularly since the home improvement chain which dropped its advertising support, Lowe's, had no problem placing ads on a channel with exploitive unscripted shows like Toddlers and Tiaras.
Next, comic actor Aasif Mandvi shows up to concede that all Muslims love terrorism, suggesting that the U.S. shut down their major source of materials for stateside terrorism attacks: Lowe's.
That Mandvi is a Muslim who spent time as a teen growing up in Tampa, graduating from Chamberlain High School and attending the University of South Florida, probably only made the bit feel sweeter.
All of the wrangling over this reveals how much we still struggle as a culture over issues of stereotyping and prejudice. Despite lots of evidence that plenty of other religions we respect have many dangerous offshoots, it is tough for some people to accept that a religion with such dangerously anti-America adherents can also have many members who don't feel that way.
Bet executives at a certain home improvement chain wish they had just ignored the letters from Caton's group in the first place.
Here's the bits below:

RALEIGH – Debbie Keener, a surgical technologist from Hickory, plans to use the $100,000 prize she won playing the lottery to pay bills and save for the future.
Keener is the first player to win the top prize in the new $100,000 Taxes Paid game. The $5 game marks the first time the lottery has offered players the chance to take home one of six after-tax prizes of $100,000. She scratched her winning ticket at Jack B Quick on Falls Avenue in Granite Falls, where she made her purchase.
"I couldn't believe it at first," Keener said. "I kept looking at the ticket. I was shaking. I was so excited. I didn't realize right away that the taxes were paid."
The lottery will pay the minimum mandatory required federal and state tax withholding as part of the top prizes awarded for each of the three instant games. The actual top prize Keener claimed was $147,059.
"I've always thought it would be great to win a prize like this," Keener added. "I don't need the million dollar prizes or anything like that. This money will make life easier."
As of Wednesday morning, five top prizes remain to be claimed in the game. The NCEL advises winners that they discuss with a tax professional any additional federal and state income taxes that may be due.
Two similar instant scratch-off games are now on sale: $5,000 Taxes Paid, a $1 game, and $30,000 Taxes Paid, a $2 game. The actual top prizes for each game are as follows: $7,353 for the $5,000 Taxes Paid game and $44,118 for the $30,000 Taxes Paid game.
Since the lottery began through June 30, 2011, Catawba County education programs received more than $27.8 million in lottery funds. By law, those funds pay for teachers' salaries in grades K-3, school construction, need-based college scholarships and prekindergarten programs.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the winning numbers posted on this website
are accurate; however, no valid claim may be based on information contained herein.
In the event of a discrepancy between the numbers posted on this website and the
official winning numbers, the official winning numbers as certified by the Multi-State

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Apple ( AAPL) and Amazon ( AMZN) each released earnings Thursday, and the timing helped illustrate the contrast between the two technology pioneers. The numbers, and investors' reaction, may end there, but these two large companies share many revenue characteristics and compete in several of the same spaces. Both sell digital media for download and streaming. Both sell hardware, and both are trying to develop a "go-to" ecosystem for shopping online, albeit in different ways. Adding Google ( GOOG) to the mix doesn't complicate matters greatly because, again, they all compete in the same industry. Day by day, the companies are merging, just as the technology is coming together. Not to be left out, Microsoft ( MSFT) spent billions of dollars developing the XBox and Kinect, keeping Microsoft not only relevant, but influential to the market. Well, at least relevant in some parts of technology. Consumers couldn't expect Google would take over the smartphone space as quickly as it did, but seriously, Microsoft (and Reseach In Motion ( RIMM)) should have seen it coming. The failings of Microsoft and RIM are not that important to the world, according to Amazon investors, but they do help lead us to where Amazon is headed. I have read that if Apple traded at a forward price-to-earnings multiple close to that of Amazon, it would trade for over $1,000 a share. I have written in previous articles that Apple would trade for even more. Instead of looking at what Apple would trade at if the world tipped upside down as it has for Amazon, let's examine what Amazon may look like if it traded like other technology stocks. According to Yahoo Finance, Amazon has a trailing 12-month price-to-earnings ratio of -- gulp -- 2,836. One of the highest I have ever seen in my lifetime of trading of 30 years. Amazon also has a relatively more modest forward earnings ratio of 130. When I think of a company that needs to perform as well as expected for the next 130 years before I double my money (actually the amount of time for the company to earn enough to pay for a share, the stock doesn't have to increase in value), I start to think of a vacation. Not exactly a vacation per se, but the part of the vacation that begins with "Dad, are we there yet?" after driving 15 miles of a 600-mile trip, and ends with, well -- it just never seems to end. Not until long after "Are we there yet?" is permanently burned into your brain. The same as a company with a forward earnings multiple over 100 rarely seems to "get there" before the price implodes. Of course, we can say that Amazon is spending now for a future; much like a start-up will need to spend for its build-out. I have a little secret to share with you about Amazon and its spending. Are you ready, because this is going to be a shocker for many? Amazon is not a startup. Boom -- I said it. Amazon isn't a startup in any sense of the word except for investors who sit around year after year waiting for their payday. Jeff Bezos has done a fantastic job (Oscar-winning performance, no doubt) of convincing investors that if they only follow the rainbow for a few more miles, they will reach a pot of gold at the end. The problem is, this isn't a startup, and there is no pot of gold. Actually, investors will find Apple, Google and Wal-Mart ( WMT) at the end. Did you know Amazon is over 15 years old? In the past 15 years, Amazon hasn't figured out how to sell a tablet and make one dime off it. If selling the Kindle was the only downside, Amazon could easily be forgiven; however, Amazon hopes to sell products, along with the Kindle, that have shrinking margins. When a lower price is only a click away, and the only thing you're selling is a zero value-added digital product like an audio book, you are in a race to the bottom of profitability, my friend. Don't be surprised to find that Amazon's revenue and margins become squeezed as content owners sell directly to the consumer, bypassing Amazon altogether. OK, back to the fair-market pricing of Amazon if investors treated it the same as its peers.

After 40 years of coaching, Lincoln's Leonard Bishop retires
Lincoln boys basketball coach Leonard Bishop has retired.
The 62-year-old Bishop coached for 40 years, the final 31 years in Dallas ISD. He was the coach at Lincoln since 1999, coming from Seagoville.
Bishop went to the UIL state tournament three times in four seasons from 2001 to 2004, winning the 2002 Class 4A title behind future NBA star Chris Bosh. Bishop also coached current Oklahoma State forward Le'Bryan Nash, SportsDay's player of the year in 2011.
Bishop said he contemplated sticking around for another season. With twins Erick and Derrick Neal returning for their senior seasons, Lincoln should be poised to contend for another trip to the state tournament.
"When you've been with a group of kids since they've been sophomores, like the twins, it's tough," Bishop said. "We've got some really good kids coming back, and that made me think about it. But it's the right time."
After Lincoln's 40-0 season in 2002, Bishop was named USA Today's national high school coach of the year and the Black Coaches Association's national high school coach of the year.

How do entrepreneurs in clusters contribute to economic growth?
This paper investigates the long-term survival and performance of new entrepreneurial firms, comparing firms located within regional clusters with those located outside of clusters.We use matched employee-employer databases to investigate all Swedish firms started in the telecom and consumer electronic s, financial services, information technology, medical equipment, and pharmaceuticals and biotech sectors (N = 4,397). We follow these firms from 1993 to 2002 and measure their contribution to local economic vitality in term of job creation, payment of taxes, and payment of salaries to employees. Controlling for factors such as firm size, age, and absorptive innovative capabilities, we find strong empirical evidence that being located within a cluster has positive effects on the survival of new firms. We also find that clustered firm creates more jobs, higher tax payments, and higher wages to employees. The effects are consistent across alternative measures of agglomeration and different regional levels. Thid study contributes to the literatures on entrepreneurship and economic geography. By measuring the economic contributions of clustered and non-clustered firms, the empirical evidence also provides support for basing economic policies on clusters.

Cuckoo church members seek to rebuild after Virginia earthquake
CUCKOO, Va. (AP) - Members of the tiny congregation of a church rocked by a Virginia-centered earthquake are launching a fund-drive to restore their sanctuary.
The 5.8-magnitude quake Aug. 23 rocked the Gilboa Christian Church in Cuckoo, which is located near the epicenter of the quake in Mineral. The church dates to 1857 and has between 50 and 75 members.
"It's just heartbreaking," Peggy Albright, who has attended services at the church for nearly 80 years, told The Daily Progress of Charlottesville.
Church members agreed to raise an estimated $350,000 to restore the church, which suffered structural damage. The congregation was to meet at a nearby community center Sunday to worship.
Church leaders are asking for donations from the community and beyond to help rebuild.
"We know the congregation is the church, not the building," said John Turner, pastor of this flock for more than 25 years. "The mission of the church will continue as we work to rebuild."
The earthquake cracked the sanctuary's four walls, making it unsafe to use. Volunteers over the Labor Day weekend planned to salvage what they could from the building, then start working on ways to shore up the sides until they can start to rebuild.
"We're told that in terms of safety, the entire walls of the original church will have to be torn down and rebuilt," Turner said. "The hope is to rebuild the church as close to the way it looked before the earthquake."
Eugenia Bumpass, 96, who has attended the church for more than 30 years, still drives herself to church services or carpools with other ladies from the church.
"This is a family church," Bumpass said. "There have been a lot of families who have given to this church and who have been attending all of their lives."
It's expected to take up to a year to rebuild the sanctuary.

Top Chef rustles up meal from Islington's rubbish
PUBLISHED: 06:24 26 August 2014 | UPDATED: 10:33 26 August 2014
A Michelin-star chef joined volunteers to use wasted food to cook up a delicious meal for vulnerable people.
Alfred Prasad, executive chef of top restaurant Tamarind, in Mayfair, was inspired when he heard of the work of FoodCycle, an Islington charity that reuses surplus food going to waste.
Using ingredients donated by local food outlets which would otherwise go in the bin, Mr Prasad went to the charity's centre in Southwood Smith Street, Islington, on Wednesday to help concoct a delectable menu for those in need of a meal.
Mr Prasad said: "I am very proud to partner with FoodCycle and help promote their fantastic work on the ground. I love their message that food poverty and food wastage should simply not co-exist."
He added: "I also admire their efforts in creating communities for their beneficiaries. Many of these vulnerable people seek not just food but dignity and companionship and they do a great job of making them feel included."
Christina Georgallou, 23, a volunteer team leader at Foodcycle, worked alongside Chef Prasad cooking the meal.
She said: "Usually we encourage volunteers to use their imagination when cooking with these ingredients but with Alfred there we stood back and let him run the show."
Under the Chef's expert instruction the team cooked up a meal of cream of Islington tomato soup and a potato and green bean curry, followed by a hearty bread and butter pudding.
Ms Georgallou said: "You should have heard the chopping in the kitchen. It was a privilege to have such a talented chef with us and he was so humble."
She added: "An enjoyable time was had all round. It was a really happy event and wonderful to have such a strong turnout."
Relying on wasted food is not always without difficulty, Ms Georgallou added
"We have no idea what we are going to be given but there is always such a large amount and variety," she said. "Once we had 40 bags of spinach, which made it a challenge to avoid spinach for dessert.
"Our ethos is not to waste anything at all."
"In London people live in poverty so close to people with so much food, especially in Islington. It is so often table etiquette that decides whether food is wasted – it's sickening really. It's something that shouldn't happen but it does, more education about food wastage is so important."
Currently nearly a third of food is wasted in the UK every year. If you would like to volunteer with FoodCycle or for more information on preventing food waste, visit: http://foodcycle.org.uk/

When she heard that the Defense of Marriage Act had been overturned Wednesday morning, Eureka resident Susan McGee said she went into shock.
"I started crying uncontrollably," she said. "When my 15-year-old son heard the news, he turned to me and said, 'Good job, Mommy.' I took that as a major compliment."
Same-sex marriage was unthinkable when McGee celebrated her relationship with partner Karen Marsh 20 years ago. Because of the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 decision to strike down DOMA, McGee and her partner -- who married during the brief window in 2008 when gay marriage was legal in California -- will now be eligible to receive full federal benefits previously denied to same-sex couples. The ruling applies to thousands of couples in the 12 of 50 states that have legalized gay marriage.
"We had a great victory today," the 61-year-old said. "This is a result of decades of organizing, and countless acts of individual courage and the collective spirit. This is a victory of love."
The Supreme Court also paved the way Wednesday for same-sex marriage to resume in California, leaving intact a lower-court ruling that struck down Proposition 8, the state's voter-approved ban on gay marriage. The question remaining is how quickly same-sex couples can marry and whether the ruling will have an immediate statewide effect.
Although Proposition 8 was passed by 52 percent of voters statewide in 2008, 60 percent of Humboldt County voters opposed it.
Sari Baker, deputy clerk in the Humboldt County Recorder's Office, said Wednesday that her office is waiting for further direction from the State Department of Public Health before issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
"That may take a couple days, or up to 30 days," she said. "I am not sure exactly when we will begin issuing those licenses."
A press release from Gov. Jerry Brown's Office states that Brown has directed the Department of Public Health to advise counties that they must begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples as soon as the legal issues are ironed out in the lower courts. California Attorney General Kamala Harris confirmed in a press release that the ruling applies to all of the state's 58 counties. Harris has asked the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to lift its stay, a move that would allow same-sex marriage to begin.
Although overjoyed by the Supreme Court's ruling on DOMA, Queer Humboldt Co-founder Todd Larsen said Wednesday that he is waiting for more information to see how California will decipher the Supreme Court's decision on Prop. 8.
"It certainly sounds like we are on track to getting gay marriage back in the state," he said. "But I think we have to be cautious in our excitement. We have a little bit of a wait here to see how California begins processing this. We will just have to see how it goes."
Despite Larsen's reservations, Linda Shapeero, founder of the Parents, Family and Friends of Lesbians and Gays of Eureka-Arcata, said Wednesday that both decisions left her ecstatic.
"I am happy with the court's decision on Prop. 8," said the 64-year-old straight ally. "It could have been a lot worse. I think opponents will still rise up and try to block gay marriage, because they have in the past. But I don't think it is going to deter us this time. I think we will be seeing legal gay marriage in California very soon."
The Rev. Elizabeth Turk hopes so. The non-denominational Northern California wedding officiate and founder of RomanticVows.com said she has been gearing up to begin marrying same-sex couples as soon as a decision on Prop. 8 came down.
"I believe that marriage is for everyone," Turk said. "Whether or not it is for or against your religious beliefs, the fact is people are in love in our world and want to be married."
Although she is still waiting for direction from county clerks on how soon she will be able to issue marriage licenses, Turk said, for now, she is just excited to know that she will soon be able to help same-sex couples legally tie the knot.
"I have a ceremony scheduled in July for two same-sex Humboldt County residents who have been together for seven years," she said. "They had just wanted a union ceremony, but now I can call them today and let them know that I will actually be able to marry them. They are a beautiful couple. It is very exciting."
Calls to local religious organizations that supported Proposition 8 were not returned by deadline.
As news of the rulings spread across the state, local gay marriage supporters spent the evening celebrating at the Arcata Plaza and the Humboldt County Courthouse in Eureka.
Eureka resident Harry Ramsay, who attended the celebration at the courthouse with his partner, described his feelings as "immensely happy."
"There's been a hell of a lot of fight over the years," the 70-year-old said.
Ramsay said he has been involved with gay rights since 1969 and had his picture taken with Harvey Milk at a rally in 1978.
His partner, 48-year-old Mike Elgian, said they have been a happy couple for two years and they knew they would be coming to the courthouse to either protest or celebrate the decision.
"We'll be getting married as soon as we officially can," Elgian said.
Silvia Scott, a Eureka resident, brought her teenage grandson and his three friends to the celebration because she said history was being made.
"I'm overjoyed," she said, gesturing to the teenagers. "This is our future."
At the rally, McGee declared to the crowd, "Welcome to the greatest victory in my lifetime."
McGee said she used to think of marriage as the stuff of science fiction-fantasy.
"Now our rights have been acknowledged by the federal government," she said. "Our message from California to the rest of the country is: We're not going to give up on the rest of you."

Police have shot a suspected Maryland bank robber after he slipped and fell on snow from this week's East Coast blizzard and lost hold of a hostage.
Police in Prince George's County in the Washington suburbs said Friday three other people were injured. The suspect's condition was not immediately known.
Police spokeswoman Lt. Tammy Sparkman said one civilian, who was not the suspect, was taken to a hospital with gunshot wounds and a police officer also was shot, possibly in the leg.

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Olympic Snowboarding Champion Seth Wescott Pay Tribute to Lovelock and Las Vegas Students as Part of Four-Day Recognition Events
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Two Nevada students, Bridgett McLean, 18, of Lovelock and Elizabeth Keane, 13, of Las Vegas, were honored in the nation's capital last night for their outstanding volunteer work during the presentation of The 2010 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. The two young people – along with 100 other top youth volunteers from across the country – received $1,000 awards as well as personal congratulations from former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Olympic snowboarding champion Seth Wescott at the 15th annual award ceremony and gala dinner reception, held at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
Bridgett and Elizabeth were named the top high school and middle level youth volunteers in Nevada last February. In addition to their cash awards, they received engraved silver medallions and an all-expense-paid trip with their parents to Washington, D.C., for this week's recognition events.
"The Prudential Spirit of Community honorees give us great hope for the future," said Dr. Rice. "Their compassion and commitment are already making a real difference in so many lives, and I have no doubt that their leadership will continue to positively impact the world for many years to come."
Bridgett, a senior at Pershing County High School, assembled 32 "Code Red" kits for all of the classrooms in her town's elementary school to make students and teachers safer and more comfortable in the event of an emergency "lockdown." Bridgett thought of the project when a warning bell sounded in her high school one day, signifying that either a drill or an emergency was taking place at the elementary school. "This frightened me, knowing that my little brother could possibly be in danger," she said. She wanted teachers and children to be fully prepared in case of a true emergency.
Bridgett came up with the idea of packing the essential items a classroom would need in an emergency lockdown into a five-gallon bucket, which could also serve as a portable toilet. With input from the elementary school's safety committee and law enforcement officials, Bridgett decided to include first aid and evacuation supplies, food and water, CPR masks, blankets, whistles, and kitty litter. She wrote letters to secure donations of many supplies, but also had to purchase items with money from her Girl Scout cookie sales. When the completed buckets were presented at the elementary school, Bridgett trained teachers in how to use them. She also wrote and distributed a brochure advising parents on what to do if their child's school experienced a "Code Red." "In a worst-case scenario, the Code Red kits could possibly save a child's life," said Bridgett.
Elizabeth, an eighth-grader at Tarkanian Middle School, started a school in her backyard where neighborhood children who are struggling academically can come for a few hours every Saturday for help with their studies. Elizabeth was so inspired by her second-grade teacher that she began building desks out of cardboard boxes and made her brother and cousins play school with her on Sunday afternoons. When she became serious about teaching, she started conducting lessons for her siblings in her grandparents' house. As word spread, other kids asked to attend the classes, so Elizabeth's parents and grandparents helped her build a one-room schoolhouse in her backyard.
Now, Elizabeth teaches about 10 kids ranging from 4 to 12 years old in her schoolhouse every Saturday from noon to 2:30 p.m. She creates and executes lesson plans for the various levels of her students, and works with them individually to address particular academic needs, striving to make learning fun and interesting. Her classes also help the students build self-esteem and make new friends, said Elizabeth. "Helping these kids find joy in learning has inspired me to continue this school long term," she said.
"Bridgett and Elizabeth are wonderful examples of young Americans who care about the world around them and have taken the initiative to improve that world," said John R. Strangfeld, chairman and CEO of Prudential Financial, Inc. "We salute their effort, their achievements, and their spirit of community."
More than 21,000 young people submitted applications for the 2010 awards program last fall through schools, Girl Scout councils, county 4-H organizations, American Red Cross chapters, YMCAs and affiliates of the Points of Light Institute's HandsOn Network. The top middle level and high school applicants in each state were selected in February and flown to Washington this week with their parents for four days of special recognition events.
Conducted in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards were created 15 years ago by Prudential Financial to encourage youth volunteerism and to identify and reward young role models. Since then, the program has honored nearly 100,000 young volunteers at the local, state and national level.
"The young women and men in America's schools are nothing short of amazing, and nowhere is this more evident than amongst this year's award recipients," said NASSP President Steven Pophal. "They possess a keen intellect, servant hearts, capable leadership skills, and are filled with energy and ambition. NASSP and Prudential are honored to recognize them."
The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards are supported by the American Association of School Administrators, the National Middle School Association, the National School Boards Association, the Council of the Great City Schools, Girl Scouts of the USA, National 4-H Council, the American Red Cross, YMCA of the USA, the Points of Light Institute, and other national education and service organizations.

OROVILLE — Handshakes, hugs, laughter and choked-back tears were aplenty Saturday as a capacity crowd filled a showcase room at Gold Country Casino to honor some of Oroville's own.
The occasion was the fifth annual Oroville Union High School District Hall of Fame, where 10 individuals and a family of nine siblings were formally inducted as the class of 2013.
More than 250 people attended the event, the largest audience since the event began in 2009.
Some people hadn't seen their former teachers, classmates and friends for decades.
This year, the high school district honored Samuel Broadnax, deceased; Thomas Doyle, deceased; Scott Fairley; the Gee family; Dwight "Spike" Helmick; Richard Hoffman; Ben Meyer; Dr. Stuart Nelson; Myron Openshaw; Mamoru Sakuma, deceased; and Sue Webber-Brown.
Doyle, Fairley and Webber-Brown were all graduates of Las Plumas High School. The other inductees graduated from Oroville High School, except Broadnax, who left in his senior year to enlist in the military.
Before the dinner and ceremony began, some of the inductees talked about how they felt to be named.
Stuart Nelson, who became a doctor and later delved into the world of medical data, was nominated by a friend. At that time, Nelson didn't know about the Hall of Fame. When he checked on it, he discovered he knew some of the first Hall of Famers, such as high school counselor Stu Harrison and coach Johnny Johnson.
"All these people I looked up to when I was a kid," Nelson said. "I was very honored by the thought and by the company I was asked to join."
Nelson said he thinks the Hall of Fame is a good thing for people, "to remind themselves of all the good things that have come out of this area. It's not just gold."
Nine siblings in the Gee family were inducted as Oroville High alumni and for distinguished service for starting a scholarship in their parents' names at both high schools.
Buck Gee said they didn't set up the awards for recognition, but to give back to the community.
"Our father taught us that education is key to making you successful," Gee said. "Our education was instrumental in our success. We wanted to share in the opportunities."
Richard Hoffman, a 1981 Oroville High graduate and retired Marine Corps Lt. Col., said he was honored to be named and felt humbled.
"My message tonight is going to be 'From little acorns mighty oaks grow,' " he said. "That's the essence. When you invest in young people ... people blossom when you have support from the community."
There were many moments during the ceremony where people rejoiced, and also when they fought their emotions.
Master of Ceremonies and Hall of Fame committee chairman Ray Sehorn became teary as he read about inductee Thomas Doyle.
Doyle was a 1981 Las Plumas graduate who died in 1988 on an Air Force flight over Forst, Germany.
As he told about how Doyle's plane developed engine failure and the young lieutenant guided the aircraft past a school and the town before crashing, Sehorn's voice faltered. The audience grew quiet and still.
Doyle's sister, Debbie Cunningham, accepted on his behalf and elicited laughter when she said Thomas learned how to fly before learning how to drive an automobile.
Seven of the Gee family siblings attended, with Sem Gee speaking on their behalf. She spoke about how their parents instilled the importance of education into each of them while also running a restaurant. The family received two standing ovations.
Many of the speakers reminisced, and all spoke of how honored they felt to be named.
A common thread among the inductees, throughout the ceremony, was on what a great place Oroville was to grow up, and how family members or teachers encouraged them and helped shape them into the successes they became.
Sue Webber-Brown was the last to be inducted. A 1974 Las Plumas graduate, she went into law enforcement and helped found the Drug Endangered Children program, which gained national attention.
Noting she felt fortunate to attend Las Plumas, Webber-Brown's emotions spilled as she addressed the audience.
"I was blessed to have the teachers I had, the family I had, the support I had," she said. "Everybody has an opportunity to help someone, (and) to help a child; and I hope you will do that."
In closing, Sehorn asked all the inductees and their representatives to stand. Noting that each had achieved, served, given back and been awarded, he added the Hall of Fame is Oroville Union High School District's highest honor.
"You are in the Hall of Fame for life," Sehorn said. "Congratulations."

Who ever dreamed that high performance water-cooling would one day become simple? We did.
When we designed the patent pending Apogee™ Drive, we invented a way of combining two of our existing components: the Apogee water-block and the MCP350 pump. But why stop there? It occurred to us that by also combining the radiator and reservoir, we could further simplify the traditional four-component loop into a revolutionary two-component, high performance Liquid Cooling System that would be incredibly easy to install. So we added a reservoir to the existing Quiet Power MCR120 radiator, and Voilà! Now we can proudly say:
"Watercooling has never been this easy!"
..and did we forget to mention "Incredibly Easy to install"?
Make no mistake! the H20-120 Compact is not just any entry-level weakling barely capable of exceeding good air-cooling performance. In fact, we are presenting below two new tools to evaluate the kit capabilities:
If your case doesn't feature a rear 120mm fan to attach our radiator, it is still possible to use the kit. Simply procure the MCB-120 "Radbox" Universal radiator mount housing and install the radiator to the back of your case. It might even get you better temps!
Reviewed by OF2010035595 at @ 12:33 PM Nov 16, 2008
This is an excellent kit to get for cooling your CPU. Performed better than my Zalman 9700LED. Q6600 overclocked to 3.2Ghz is idle at 30C and 40C on load. The Zalman was minimum 10C higher on both idle and load. Ambient temps around 22C. A few modifications though to get those temps - I bought 2 Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000rpm fans and sandwiched the rad using push/pull, mounted the rad outside of the case where the exhaust fan would blow but my Kazes were configured to blow into the case, bought longer tubing, and left my side panel open because the Kaze was blocking my side panel, and I used OCZ Freeze compound instead of Swiftech's. Great service from DirectCanada, as usual.

AMHERST - Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake's adversary in the 2008 and 2009 New York State Class A championship games is back. And in some respects, they're as dangerous as they've ever been.
After a two-year hiatus from the New York State Class A championship game, the Sweet Home Panthers from Section VI roll into the 2012 renewal at the Carrier Dome with a perfect 12-0 record. The team opposing 11-1 BH-BL has come from behind twice in regional play against Eastridge and Union-Endicott and is ranked second in the most recent state poll.
"I think sometimes, even though you see (your opponents) on film, you have to feel them out," said Sweet Home head coach John Faller. "It takes a quarter or so to do that. We don't panic about too many things, and I think that showed."
Two weeks ago, Sweet Home entered the fourth quarter down 21-7 against Eastridge. Last weekend, Union-Endicott jumped out to a 14-0 lead after one quarter of play. Both times, though, the Panthers rallied, posting 28-21 and 40-22 victories to advance to Friday afternoon's title game.
"We were just caught unprepared," Faller said regarding last week's early struggles. "Our kids weren't focusing on defense. We got a little sloppy here and there, but we got rolling in the second half."
When the Panthers get rolling offensively, they can be very tough to stop. Sweet Home's spread attack has more than doubled the offensive yardage of their 12 opponents this season, and has outscored foes 390-153.
The offense is keyed by quarterback Michael Torrillo, who has thrown for 2,118 yards and 20 touchdowns while adding 270 more yards in the ground game. Three Sweet Home wide receivers have 20 or more receptions, with Brad Zaffram's 33 catches, 854 yards, and six touchdowns pacing the group. Meanwhile Jordan Evert has rushed for 950 yards and 18 touchdowns, and teammate Kahlil Humphrey has 10 scores of his own and leads Sweet Home's primary backs with 7.1 yards per carry.
Faller, though, concedes that BH-BL's size up front poses an issue.
"They have some good linemen with bigger size than we have," Faller said. "We have to deal with that."
Sweet Home's coach also praised the Spartans' multi-faceted running game. Even with leading rusher Dan Porter missing time due to an ankle injury, BH-BL hasn't missed a beat in knocking off Potsdam (42-0) and Cornwall (28-13).
"I think they've got a very strong running game," Faller said. "They're very diversified. They can throw, but they want to run the ball first."
The two prior meetings between Sweet Home and BH-BL in the Carrier Dome told much different stories. In 2008, the Panthers earned a hard-fought 35-28 victory, but in 2009, Sweet Home rolled to a 34-7 win. The current crop of Sweet Home players was in middle school at the time, and Faller explained they want to add to the program's legacy.
"They've never been this far before, but they want to be compared to those two teams," he said. "They can't beat what those teams did, but they can equal it."

The best thing I found in the day-after-Thanksgiving shopping orgy was a whole new rendering of Messiah on CD. The concept of Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration alone was worth risking the $16 purchase price. Understand that Handel's Messiah is special to me. I sing it every year at the University of Miami, and many consider it to be among the most popular of classical pieces. Especially at this time of year. So this was a real find.
With names like Edwin Hawkins, the Boys Choir of Harlem, Take 6, Andrae Crouch, and the Sounds of Blackness, I expected a straight rendering of the baroque masterpiece, except maybe a little bit looser in style and with the richness of gospel voices. But what I first heard when I played the overture was the drums -- African-style drums backed by a single melody line on synthesizer. The theme was assumed by a choir humming in the style of a Negro spiritual, which was replaced by ragtime piano, big band, gospel, blues, jazz fusion, and hip-hop, for what the dust jacket billed as "A Partial History of Black Music." And it is that, plus more, although the lack of any Motown was surprising.
Despite the smorgasbord of styles, the piece holds together well, with the exception of the abrupt transition from the brooding minor vocals of the Negro spiritual to the rinky-dink ragtime piano. But for this album the overture was just right. The rich variety of the black musical tradition is a big part of what this CD is all about. That is its strength.
Sad to say, that's also its greatest weakness. The album lacks the unity of style necessary to hold the Messiah together as a tale. Much of the emotional power of the Messiah arises from the plot, and the segments here are so stylistically different that it's easy to lose the thread of the story. It seems as if the arrangements were written to stand on their own -- instead of complementing and leading into one another. Such emphasis on providing a sampler of black styles almost causes the Messiah to surrender its soul. But the words are still there, and the music is adequate, occasionally raising goose bumps.
The best cut is Dianne Reeves's reggae rendition of the chorus, "And the Glory of the Lord." Light and laid-back, but melodically true to Handel, this entry is surprisingly stirring. Reeves's inflection, or just the way the words roll off her tongue, combined with her subtle use of dynamics, excites even without heavy crescendos.
The rest is a mixed bag. The superb instrumentation and energetic rhythms in "But Who May Abide the Day of His Coming" (Patti Austin) bolster the spirit of the original work. The mood of "Behold the Lamb of God" comes through without words in the piano-and-sax fusion of the Yellowjackets. (If you know the words, you'll "hear" them anyway.) The joyous, raucous blend of styles in "For Unto Us a Child Is Born" is perfect. However, the chip-on-the-shoulder, rap-with-attitude style of "Glory to God" (Michelle Weens, Leaders of the New School, Boys Choir of Harlem) seems mightily incongruous with the song's message of peace on Earth, goodwill toward men. It sounds more like the theme to In Living Color than an angel chorus announcing the birth of Christ. No goose bumps.
I am admittedly not a great fan of hip-hop, but if the producers felt this style had to be represented, they could have found a better home for it elsewhere in the Messiah. In fact, it works quite well in "Every Valley Shall Be Exalted" (Mike E., Lizz Lee, and Chris Willis). My only complaint about "Every Valley" is that it begins by rudely interrupting a straight rendering of the baroque air with a crash of keyboard noise in a trite "ain't we cool" thumb of the nose at Handel. The adaptation is strong enough to stand on its own merits, without that kind of musical arrogance.

There are several other notable performances. Stevie Wonder and Take 6 collaborate in a jazzy and mostly acceptable arrangement of "O Thou That Tellest Good Tidings to Zion." Al Jarreau delivering "Why Do the Nations So Furiously Rage?" and Vanessa Bell Armstrong with Daryl Coley in "Comfort Ye My People" score high as well.
And then there's the "Hallelujah Chorus." Disappointing. To be sure it's nicely done -- delivered in a strong black-gospel style, just what I expected the entire album to be like. The problem is that the gospel style hits you straight from the first note, all crescendo, which means, really, that there is no crescendo. And in the "Hallelujah Chorus" that's a big problem. If you want to reach a climax (and that's what the "Hallelujah Chorus" is all about) you need a little foreplay. The chorus is alive and exciting, and it gets you close, oh, so close. But it just plain never gets you over the edge.
A Soulful Celebration is a serious album -- not a trivial commercialization of Handel's masterpiece. It is a Messiah in the vernacular. For those who love the traditional Messiah, it may take a second or third listening to adjust your ear to the new form. Even with its minor flaws, I believe it will grow on you. I think you should find it.

Feds: Missouri funeral home manager stole money from the dead
Mon, 31 Mar 2014 19:59:15 GMT —
The federal grand jury indicted a former Moberly funeral home office manager on charges that accuse her of stealing more than $176,000 from customers' funeral expenses.
Beverly Susan Rene Smith, 40, is charged with one count of wire fraud. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in prison, $250,000 in fines and seizure of any property derived from the illegal activity in which she is accused.
Smith was hired as office manager at Million-Taylor Funeral Home in 2001.
The indictment alleges that she shifted money from various trusts and funeral home accounts. Federal authorities say she withdrew money from an escrow account that went undetected. She used the money for her personal use including the purchase of clothing and jewelry, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office in St. Louis, Mo.
"She hid the withdrawals by manipulating the financial records of MTFH," a release said.
The grand jury handed up its indictment Thursday.
Smith made her first appearance in court Monday at the federal courthouse in St. Louis.

Having contemplated for awhile about getting my blog spruced up, I finally took the plunge.
Really, I don't know why I waited
(laziness) but I have to say- I'm beyond thrilled!
And while its not quite 2012 yet, I just couldn't wait!
Thanks to the lovely Shannon at Sweet Bean Co. I've got my very own custom header, signature, & buttons!
Having emailed Shannon on Wednesday I got my new look on…. Thursday!
She is super sweet & managed to take my really vague descriptions of what look I was going for & managed to come up with something absolutely perfect.
I am beyond excited the new look & am hoping to brainstorm on how to make my blog better for 2012. I think this was just the jumpstart it needed!
So thank you Shannon!

Twin Commander operators in Europe now have another option for maintenance. London-based Gama Engineering has been named an authorized Twin Commander Service Center. Based at Fairoaks Airport near Heathrow, Gama Engineering comprises the former Mann Aviation Group Engineering and Lees Avionics. Gama Engineering will provide engineering and certification support to Twin Commander operators as well as other general aviation, helicopter and regional operators. Lees Avionics has been moved to Gama Engineering's facility to provide airframe and avionics support. Harry Lees, managing director, told AIN, "Gama is the only UK-based authorized Twin Commander service center. There is one other in Europe located in Germany." Gama Engineering has 53,000 sq ft of hangar, office and workshop space and a staff of 55, including nine in engineering design and 22 mechanics/technicians. A composites workshop manufactures interior parts for corporate aircraft. The company offers major structural repairs, full avionic upgrades, trim refurbishments and all standard maintenance. The EASA and FAA Part 145 repair station holds EASA Part 21J Design approval so it can approve modifications in-house. "We also produce many STCs, including glass cockpits, special-mission systems and camera installations," said Lees.
