Wet n Wild Megaliner Liquid Eyeliner – Electric Purple Review
Hello Pretty Readers!!!
This is my first eyeliner from Wet n Wild and I bought this product because I wanted to try out something new and importantly because I liked this unique shade. Read on for more details on this product.
Product Description:
High-def pigment and a rich, fluid formula that goes on quick and easy to give you perfectly lined eyes that last. Dries fast and stays put to enhance and dramatically define the eyes. An easy-to-control, flexible brush gives you precise application.
My Experience with Wet n Wild Megaliner Liquid Eyeliner – Electric Purple:
I have loads of black eyeliners in the form of pencil, gel, liquids and so on, but not many colored ones and none of them is a liquid liner. Packaging: This product comes in a rather small conical jar with just one fourth of the packaging holding the product. The remaining three-fourth of the bottle is a cap which holds a felt tip brush, it is it is stiff and can be used like a tiny felt tip pen. The brush has very fine bristles which give a very precise thin line and perfect to make winged eyeliner look.
Color: Dark purple color but not that dark that it would appear black from a distance.
Pigmentation: Pigmentation is "meh" for a liquid liner, one swipe does not give an opaque line as I expect from eyeliners; I can add multiple coats to enhance the pigmentation, but between each application, I have to wait for it to dry or it gets very streaky and patchy.

An artist group that wanted to sell works from the sidewalks of New Bern during the upcoming ArtWalk in downtown New Bern cannot do so.
An artist group that wanted to sell works from the sidewalks of New Bern during the upcoming ArtWalk in downtown New Bern cannot do so.
City ordinances do not allow sales by any vendors from the city sidewalks.
The Bohemian Artists of New Bern had hoped to set up along the 300 block of Pollock Street during the Sept. 13 ArtWalk.
The group had been on hand for the ArtWalk last September, with dozens of its artists, along with some nonprofits, lining the sidewalks in a demonstration-only showing on Pollock Street.
Doing business for profit in the city is another matter.
The city�s senior tax clerk Brenda Best said selling within the city has guidelines.
�If they come into the city to do business, they need to get a privilege license,� she said. �It is referred to as a peddlers� license, business license, but the official title is privilege license.�
The fee is $25 and is good for one year.
Selling, however, is prohibited on the sidewalks. Best said that information is explained when a privilege license is issued.
�Whenever a person or business comes in and wants to apply for a license, we tell them they cannot come into the downtown area and set up on the city sidewalks or streets,� she said. �The sidewalks are for right of way. They cannot set up on the sidewalks. We inform them of this, so they are aware.�
Best said the Bohemian group has a privilege license, issued in August 2012, and it has been renewed for 2013-14.
The license allows for one seller.
The Bohemians, according to member Meg Wethington, has at least 100 members.
Best said any other members of the group would need a license, as well.
�If, for instance, they are in downtown New Bern and each is sitting at a booth or a table and they each want to sell, they would each need an individual license,� she said.
A request was made by Jim Bisbee, local potter and owner of Studio 323 on Pollock Street, to have the 300 block closed during the upcoming ArtWalk to accommodate the Bohemians.
Bisbee said that issues arose with other merchants over the plan and he withdrew his request from the New Bern Board of Aldermen�s agenda this week.
Best said that even in a sanctioned event with street closures, the sellers are still not allowed to do business from the sidewalk. She said the activity in that case would be confined to the street area that was closed.
�If you have a privilege license, you have to have a business location or if you want to set up on someone�s private property and they give you permission, you can do that,� Best said.
City Manager Mike Epperson said that individuals who might set up an easel to draw a local scene from a sidewalk would not be in any violation as long as they did not interfere with pedestrian or nearby vehicular traffic.
Wethington indicated that the Bohemian group was working on plans for an alternative event to showcase its members.
The Bohemian group began in 2012 as an offshoot of the official ArtWalk and was popular, drawing crowds to a parking lot behind the Bank of the Arts. Later, the group was again an attraction at an outdoor gallery garden on Craven Street.
The ArtWalk has been a mainstay of downtown activity since 2005, with every-other-month events, coming after the 5 p.m. normal business closing hours. It was begun with the Craven Arts Council as the lead organization and has grown to upwards of 20 participating galleries, shops and restaurants.
The arts council produces an official ArtWalk guide during each event, with work by a local artist featured on the cover. The backside of the card has a map and listing of those participating in ArtWalk.
The cost to be included on the card is $200 annually.
The Bohemian group has artists who offer sketching, painting, performing, reading poetry and pottery.
Charlie Hall can be reached at 252-635-5667 or email@example.com.

Greetings from Design Camp! I'm having a ball in Atlanta learning some really valuable takeaways, networking, meeting new faces, and spending time with old friends. The first day of Design Camp was fantastic, so naturally, I'm excited what today has in store. This week's fabulous room is a glamorous bedroom with a nod to Chinoiserie and regency designed by Cecile Starin for the Marin Designers Showcase last year. Cecile used a great mix of classic and exotic elements along with various textures while keeping the color palette neutral, allowing the design details to really pop. The luxurious room features a zebra rug, tufted mustard ottoman, a fur throw and pillows, ostrich egg lamps, and a huge gilt sunburst mirror. The animal lover in me hopes these elements are all faux, but it makes for an aesthetically beautiful mix, no? One of my favorite features is the show-stopping silver leafed ceiling. What do you love most about this room?
Have a wonderful weekend!

So what's the game now? This, or the life I used to know?
When Miki Jones is pulled from her life, pulled through time and space into some kind of game—her carefully controlled life spirals into chaos.
In the game, she and a team of other teens are sent on missions to eliminate the Drau, terrifying and beautiful alien creatures. There are no practice runs, no training, and no way out.
Miki has only the guidance of secretive but maddeningly attractive team leader Jackson Tate, who says the game isn't really a game, that what Miki and her new teammates do now determines their survival, and the survival of every other person on this planet.
She laughs. He doesn't.
And then the game takes a deadly and terrifying turn.

He catches my wrists and holds them, just tight enough that I can't hit him anymore, but not so tight it hurts.
I freeze, heart slamming against my ribs, because I'm angry and afraid, and because he's touching me, his hands on my wrists, our faces inches apart.
My pulse races; my cheeks feel hot. Lots of people touch me, and it never feels like this.
"So now you know," he says. "Happy?"
I pull my wrists free. "No," I say. "Not at all."
"I know." He lifts his hands and closes them on my upper arms. I stand there, too numb to jerk away.
Slowly, he pulls me closer. I let him. I let him wrap his arms around me.
I let myself rest my cheek against his chest. And for a few moments, I just breathe and listen to the steady beat of his heart.
Eve Silver lives with her gamer husband and sons, sometimes in Canada, but often in worlds she dreams up.
She loves kayaking and sunshine, dogs and desserts, and books, lots and lots of books. Watch for the first book in Eve's new teen series, THE GAME: RUSH, coming from Katherine Tegen Books, June 2013.
She also writes books for adults.

Democrats perceived Mr. Akin as the weakest general election candidate because he has a 12-year congressional track record that's ripe for excavation and wears his Christian faith on his sleeve. That can sometimes be unbecoming, as it was last year when he slipped that "at the heart of liberalism really is a hatred of God."...According to the Daily Kos, Democrats are looking at the Wisconsin primary and hoping ex-Congressman Mark Neumann defeats businessman Eric Hovde and former Governor Tommy Thompson. If Neumann is the GOP Senate candidate, he'll have his own "God" quote to answer for:
In 1996, Neumann said, "If I were elected God for a day, homosexuality wouldn't be permitted." Years later he clarified the remark, explaining he would not want God's job.It's one thing to oppose same-sex marriage, quite another to promote employment discrimination against gay people. Even worse is banning homosexuality. Neumann knows that can't be done in America. We have constitutional rights that prevent legislators from outlawing homosexual sex, and, yes, if you got a couple more Scalias on the Supreme Court, it might conceivably overrule the precedent, but Neumann wished to end "homosexuality," not merely sexual activities between same-sex partners — the state of feeling sexual desire for a person of the same sex. That is, he's objecting to the inner thoughts and feelings of the human individual, and he knows he'd need to be God to accomplish that end. And so the legislator imagines himself as God.
Neumann has also suggested he wouldn't hire an openly gay staffer. "If somebody walks in to me and says, 'I'm a gay person, I want a job in your office,' I would say that's inappropriate, and they wouldn't be hired because that would mean they are promoting their agenda," Neumann said in an address to the Christian Coalition. "The gay and lesbian lifestyle (is) unacceptable, lest there be any question about that."
God save us from legislators who fantasize about being God. When I think of what conservatism means, I think of limited government, respect for decisionmaking in the private sphere, and modesty about re-engineering human nature. And when I think about God, I don't go wishing he'd made the world a different way. And ironically, attempting to appeal to Christians, Neumann spouted blasphemy: God should have done a better job. So you think God goofed when he made homosexuals? You're telling gay people they're mistakes, and you'd like to nudge God out of the way and eradicate those mistakes. Presumably, the Neumann God wouldn't smite the homosexuals — Sodom-style — but somehow cause them not to exist. And yet, Neumann is, of course, opposed to abortion. Embryos are creatures of God, who challenges us to accept what He has willed into existence and to respond with love and humility to the burdens He has laid upon us.
There are gay people in the world, how do you respond to that trial? Do you love them and respect them as human beings, entitled to equality and autonomous decisionmaking? Or do you run for office, promoting yourself to religious folk by fantasizing about having the power of God and using it to eliminate people toward whom they feel animosity? It's bad religion and it's bad politics. The mask slipped, and what we saw was not conservative.
(By the way, the Democratic candidate, Tammy Baldwin, is lesbian.)

CLEVELAND — Former Boston manager Terry Francona will interview with the Cleveland Indians on Friday.
Francona's meeting will come one day after interim manager Sandy Alomar Jr. has his formal interview with general manager Chris Antonetti about becoming the replacement for Manny Acta, who was dismissed last week with six games left in the season. Alomar and Francona are the only confirmed candidates for the Indians' managerial opening. The Indians, who collapsed from contention in August, are 2-3 under Alomar, a six-time All-Star catcher with Cleveland.
Francona has been working as an analyst for ESPN. He led the Red Sox to World Series titles in 2004 and 2007. He was a special assistant in Cleveland's front office in 2001.
Last week, Francona told the AP he would welcome a chance to work again with Antonetti and team president Mark Shapiro.

I am lacking in ideas at the moment for card I am making for a friend so my desk is not a pretty sight. I have made a card, but don't think it is quite right so this morning I am going to have another attempt.
So today I thought I would show you some of the storage ideas I have in my craft room as they are far more organised that my desk at the moment!
I have bought yet another cake stand which fits all my Martha punches in just right, do you think Martha would approve?
I also recently bought this cute little basket for keeping some of my tools as it looks so tidy!
This little basket contains some threads that I got a few weeks ago from a shop called The Works in our High Street, they were really cheap about £2 I think!
I also found this in a local home accessories shop, I think it is to hold photos but could also display your cards for photographing etc
Finally, Julia commented on her bling storage, I must admit I do like alot of bling so have some special bits hanging up but have my everyday bits in this box that a friend brought me.
It came with a mug which now holds my cup of tea but the box is the perfect size for my little sparkles and pearls!
Caterpillar update for those that are interested, they have turned into cocoons so have now been transferred to the butterfly garden. They haven't hatched yet but hopefully next week I shall have butterfly photo's for you!
I hope you all have a wonderful week and can't wait to go and have a look whats on your work desk today.

Whole of WA Government Search
Western Australia's heritage is linked to its places, buildings and the people who lived here. Early convict craftsmen helped build much of our State, and Perth's town Hall, Fremantle Prison and the Fremantle Roundhouse are testament to their skill. Many of the early accomplishments no longer exist and many of the settlements have been abandoned but the stories remain and the impact they have on the Western Australian attitude is alive and well today.
The rich, ancient landscape and the abundant natural resources it holds have fueled economic booms and shaped our towns and cities. It has created Western Australians' optimistic and confident outlook. Understanding a place's heritage is important to understanding who they are. Heritage tourism helps to create a strong sense of place and identity.
It is this desire to understand what makes a place special and unique that has fueled the growth in heritage tourism. Heritage tourists tend to stay longer, spend more, and seek out experiences in museums and art galleries, historical and heritage buildings, sites and monuments. Click here for more information.
In 2006, Western Australia developed a Heritage Tourism Strategy. The aim of the strategy is to increase heritage tourism experiences across WA, to raise awareness of the importance of our heritage, and to encourage the ongoing conservation of WA's heritage places.
Tourism Western Australia has a number of resources for visitors to the state including information about accommodation, attractions and events.
Our Office hours are from Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.

KEY WEST, Fla., May 3 (UPI) -- An extremely rare goblin shark was caught by shrimpers in the Gulf of Mexico last month, only the second ever catch of its kind in the area.
The goblin shark was inadvertently reeled in with a barrel of shrimp collected roughly 2,000 feet below the surface. The crew that caught it took photos before safely releasing the fish back into the gulf.
"I've never seen something so ugly in my life," commercial fisherman Carl Moore told Florida news outlet KeysNet.com. "The teeth were so wicked looking, I didn't want anyone getting too close to it." The goblin shark looks unique among fish because its entire lower jaw detaches and protrudes, similar to the fictional title monsters in the 'Alien' film franchise.
John Carlson, a shark expert at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration greeted the accidental finding with enthusiasm.
"This is great news," Carlson explained to the Houston Chronicle. "This is only the second confirmed sighting in the Gulf, the majority of specimens are found off Japan or in the Indian Ocean and around South Africa."
Although the goblin shark was caught on April 19th, it was not announced until yesterday as it was only recently brought to the attention of NOAA. Based on the pictures taken by the shrimpers, Carson believes the goblin shark was a female.

A new study by partners of the Cambridge Conservation Initiative (CCI), including the IUCN Global Species Programme (GSP), has revealed that climate change's effects on species may be occurring through a disruption of the fundamental interactions that exist between species within an ecosystem.
The direct effects of climate change on a species' population are well documented; changes in temperature and precipitation directly affect survival and reproduction. However, very little is known about the indirect effects of climate change on a species' population, such as changes in food availability, competition or predation. The study has revealed that predatory species are likely to be most at risk from these altered relationships, for example; changes in snow cover in the Arctic have reduced lemming populations, and this is impacting populations of Arctic Fox (Alopex lagopus), and due to a warmer spring season, upland birds such as the Golden Plover (Pluvialis apricaria) attempt to breed earlier, potentially missing out on the emergence of crane fly, an important prey item for developing chicks.
The study revealed a bias towards data from the northern hemisphere, highlighting a lack of research on the biotic (indirect) effects of climate change on species inhabiting tropical ecosystems. Most of the planet's species occur in the tropics, including most species assessed as threatened on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™, and the study calls for more studies of climate change impacts on populations inhabiting these regions. The study also revealed a lack of data on invertebrates and freshwater fish, and how climate change is affecting their populations and ultimately how this is affecting populations of other species within their respective ecosystems.
"This study highlights a need to consider the often complex ecological relationships between species when assessing the impacts of climate change on wildlife" says Jamie Carr of IUCN Global Species Programme, and co-author of the study. "Most research to date has focused on the direct impacts of changing conditions, which could mean that important emerging threats are being overlooked".
Working in sub-Saharan Africa and South America, experts in the IUCN GSP and Species Survival Commission (SSC) are collecting information on a range of ecological traits that are believed to increase the susceptibility of invertebrates to climate change. A recent study into the projected impacts of climate change on Australian dragonflies by Alex Bush, a member of the IUCN SSC Dragonfly Specialist Group, found that some species may be highly threatened by climate change if they fail to disperse rapidly.
The study took 12 months to complete and involved seven organizations, led by the British Trust for Ornithology, reviewing more than 140 published studies on the climatic effects on species from across the globe.

5 Ways to Enhance Your Swimming Pool Area
Add Color
Swimming pool areascan be more than simply blue and white. Adding color around the pool area will give a very different and unique look which will make it all the more inviting. Planting areas if you have them, or potted plants can be staged for continual blooming. Pool decks can be flat grey, or you can liven up the area with colored or stained concrete, stampcrete, stone or tile surfaces. Colorful pool floats, or patio furniture and umbrellas in unexpected hues.
Add lights
Lights are an extremely important part of swimming pools. This is simply because pools aren't just used during the day but also at night time when there is no natural light available. In such cases, it is important to place the right kind of lights in good locations to decrease the likelihood of accidents. Lighting can also help give the pool a nice calming and peaceful look, helping you relax long into the night.
Add Sun Loungers
Add perennial borders
Add plants and bushes

Spanish Classes In Las Vegas, Open Up Your Horizons
Learning a second or even a third language is an advantage for adults not just in the workplace but simply for living in America. The United States is one of the most ethnically diverse counrtries in the world. Did you know for instance, that over 800 languages are spoken in the United States?
While English is likely the most common language spoken in your area of Las Vegas, Spanish is the second most spoken language in America, making up around 15% of the population. So, when you learn Spanish that's almost 41 million new people you could potentially chat to and make friends with!
What are the benefits of learning Spanish?
- Improves your brain – When you're learning a new language it's almost as if your brain takes on a new lease of life. Suddenly, you'll find your memory becomes better as Spanish words and phrases suddenly float into your head, leaving you feeling both surprised and excited. You'll even find you become more adept at multi-tasking in the workplace and at home. In fact, it's been proven that learning a new language can help prevent dementia in later life!
- Improve your native language – When you focus on the intricacies of learning a second language, such as Spanish, you'll be amazed at how your language skills in your native tongue improve.
- Opens up new opportunities – Learning a second language, particularly Spanish which is widely spoken, opens up new opportunities for you both in your career and your life as a whole. You can stand out from others in job interviews and even venture onto a different career path, when you have the skills to communicate better with more people.
- Enriched travel – When you travel to Spanish speaking countries, your experience will be richer by being able to communicate more easily without using sign language or a phrase book. Whether it's booking travel tickets, ordering food, or asking directions, speaking the lingo certainly makes life easier.
Motivation and Need
For many people, learning and retaining a new language is difficult. But it certainly helps if you are motivated and if you have an express need to learn the language. For example, if your dream job happens to be in a Spanish speaking country or you find yourself a Spanish girlfriend/boyfriend.
While signing up at a local language school to learn Spanish may seem the best way forward, you may find it difficult to concentrate after a hard day's work at the office and if your lesson is only once week, you'll find it difficult to progress at any speed.

PHOENIX (Friday, May 18, 2012) -- Today's arrest of multiple suspects in a huge heroin-related drug bust in Chandler shows the problem of illicit drugs has pervaded all areas of the Valley, Attorney General Tom Horne said today. Horne's office is the prosecuting agency in this matter, and Horne is vowing a vigorous effort against all the suspects in this major case.
"The distribution of heroin and other drugs is one of the lowest forms of crime there is," said Horne. "This illicit trade breeds violence, tears apart families and neighborhoods, and rips at the fabric of society by destroying lives. We must vigorously pursue drug traffickers at every level, prosecute them and put them behind bars."
The Chandler Police Department today announced the arrests following a joint investigation with the Department of Public Safety, Department of Corrections and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Prosecutors from the Arizona Attorney General's Office have been closely working with these agencies since the initial stages of the investigation to ensure a thorough prosecution.
"I also want to thank the law enforcement professionals from all the cooperating agencies who worked diligently to develop this case and arrest the suspects," Horne added. "These people have dedicated their lives to getting drugs off the streets and they work in a very dangerous environment. They deserve the thanks of all Arizonans."

Our Approach
Patients who come to the Siteman Cancer Center for treatment of breast cancer are seen by a team of experts — medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and surgeons — often at the same visit. A health psychologist, nutritionist and social worker are also available as needed.
Experienced nurses then spend time with you, answering your breast cancer treatment questions and putting you in touch with resources that may help during this often stressful time. These nurses offer patients printed materials and videotapes on benign breast diseases, breast cancer, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and other related issues. As a unique feature of your care, we also offer the services of a palliative care specialist who can help you fit treatment into your own special circumstances, if needed.
We have a full range of treatment options, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and molecularly targeted therapy, all of which may be used individually or in combination.
Surgery to remove all or part of the breast tissue is the most common procedure used to treat breast cancer. Radiation therapy, either from beams outside the body or delivered internally at the site of the tumor, can be indicated to kill cancer cells and shrink breast cancer tumors. Chemotherapy uses drugs given by mouth or intravenously to kill cancer cells. For breast cancers sensitive to estrogen, you may have hormone therapy recommended. For breast cancers that overexpress HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2), anti-HER2 drugs including trastuzumab and others may be indicated.
Our breast cancer physicians are actively involved in breast cancer research and clinical studies that investigate new surgical procedures, radiation techniques, chemotherapy regimens, immunotherapy, targeted therapies (including vaccines) and role of lifestyle (diet and physical activity) in men and women with breast cancer. Having your cancer treated at Siteman gives you access to new breast cancer therapies that are as good as – or potentially better than – current standard therapies available elsewhere. The breast cancer team at Siteman sees about 800 breast cancer patients a year, and they concentrate on that specialty.
Several new drugs that have emerged from clinical studies offer promise in treating metastatic breast cancer, invasive cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Siteman physicians were at the heart of this research, conducting studies on some of these new treatment options. A novel vaccine study under way at Siteman and two other centers is aimed at slowing the progress of metastatic breast cancer cells.
Plastic and reconstructive surgeons are an important part of the breast cancer team at Siteman Cancer Center. These surgeons work closely with cancer surgeons to provide the best reconstructive outcomes. Patients who undergo mastectomy or lumpectomy to remove cancerous breast tissue have many reconstruction options, including implants, use of your own tissue, done either at the time of cancer surgery or later. For those who choose to forego reconstruction, customized breast prostheses will soon be available with the technology of 3D printing.
The Joanne Knight Breast Health Center, located on the fifth floor of the Center for Advanced Medicine on Siteman's main campus, brings together a team of physicians who are breast cancer experts and support personnel to provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for all diseases of the breast, including breast cancer. The center includes screening and diagnostic mammography services, exam rooms, and educational and support services, to ensure that you receive coordinated, convenient services that address your medical and emotional needs.
Siteman can now help patients keep their hair during chemotherapy with scalp cooling, an innovative technology that protects the hair follicles. This technique has allowed thousands of patients from all over the world to feel more comfortable and confident as they undergo treatment for cancer. Because the chemotherapy drugs used to treat breast cancer are more likely to cause hair loss, breast cancer patients especially stand to benefit from scalp cooling.
Click here to learn more about scalp cooling at Siteman Cancer Center. We offer this treatment on our main campus in the Central West End, as well as at our West County and South County facilities.

By EconMattersPullbacks…pullbacks….are we talking about Pullbacks? That`s all I heard for two straight months, "Gee everyone is waiting for a pullback to get in on the rally". Well you asked for it, now you got it! But you better not be too picky about waiting for some exact perfect 7% correction because that probably ain`t happening. We are in the midst of the strongest four months of the investing cycle for each of the last four years. Basically, everyone and their uncle go long assets until late April before the annual summer selloff. Don`t expect this year to be any different. March 1st New Capital & Front Running The way I look at it new money comes into the market March 1stwhich is next Friday, so any window for a pullback has 5 days to occur, and less than that because everybody front runs the monthly 401k money that comes into the market the first of every month, and is usually good for a major Risk On day. So investors have 4 days for a pullback, you get the idea, Thursday`s mid-day selloff was the pullback. There isn`t going to be any ideal 7% pullback so all those who missed the rally can conveniently get right in with the rally that they missed for the first two months of the year.You think this stuff just happens randomly? There are no do-overs in markets! What were you thinking, haven`t you been paying attention the last four years? You start going long in November of the previous year and you stay long until option`s expiration in April, then you sell, wait for the summer sell-off when some crisis in Europe or Downgrade is the end of the world, and after the sell-off, then everybody buys back for the "Money Manager Make Their Numbers Yearly Close"! We are working here! Now get with the program, this isn`t the airport where we wait for passengers to board! This is the first four months of the year, and damnit we are making our numbers regardless. We don`t care how steep the freaking charts look, we are going to make them look even steeper. Nothing stops the rally, we don`t go backward, we just keep going higher till mid-April, Got it? Good, now quit your hoping, praying for the 7% pullback, we don`t have time for this crap! We don`t have time for no stinkin 7% pullbacks! There are no 7% pullbacks in the first four months of the year when we are making are damn numbers. That would be stupid, we would have to start all over again, we don`t have time for that crap, we are working here! Have we set new highs yet? I didn`t think so… We will give you your damn pullback at the end of April after we have set new highs in all the market indexes. So don`t ask "Are we going to pullback yet"? No we are not going to pullback, you will know when it is time for the pullback by checking the damn calendar! Here is the damn memo….. Just so you know since nobody seems to pass around the memo anymore we run up everything for the first four months as high as we can, hopefully around 11%, then we short the market, and if we are lucky the damn thing goes negative for the year and we make another 11%, then we ramp it up at the end of the year back to the same 11% we know we can hit, and a little more if we are really good. So the market benchmark the S&P 500 is up 12% for the year, and of course we beat the benchmark dumbass we are professionals, just add the 11%+11%+12%=34% we blow away the damn benchmark and everybody wants to invest with us and we make more damn money cause now we got more AUM! So now you have the damn memo, study it, memorize it, live it and for God`s Sake quit askin about the damn pullback!© EconMatters All Rights Reserved | Facebook | Twitter | Post Alert | Kindle

So Liz Jones is in the Daily Mail today reporting on two procedures she had (two minor, non evasive procedures unless…you don't like needles). Semi Permanent Brows and Lash Extensions.
If you don't know Liz, she is a British Journalist and Writer. She has ruffled a lot of feathers with quite a few of her views and articles, but I can't hate her cos she's a cat momma like me.
Anyway – what do you think of her transformation (full details on The Daily Mail site).
I think the brows look like a nice shape but are quite dark (no idea if that is Liz's natural hair colour, but I wonder what happens if you want to lighten your hair? I guess the tattoos fade in time anyway). The lashes are gorgeous (in fact Kelly who is did Liz's lashes is doing mine on Friday. Just thought I'd get that in…)

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A female passenger aboard a US Airways flight from Charlotte to Fort Myers, Fla., was arrested after attacking crew members before being wrestled to the floor by an off-duty deputy aboard the flight, an arrest report released Wednesday said.
The apparently intoxicated passenger aboard US Airways flight 1697 kicked, spit on and cursed at a flight attendant who refused to serve her alcohol, according to the arrest report by Lee County Port Authority Police.
The incident happened Tuesday afternoon, just hours after passengers aboard a JetBlue flight from New York to Las Vegas wrestled down the plane's agitated pilot.
Police charged Peggy S. Albedhady-Sanchez, 50, of Union City, N.J., with three counts of battery and one count of interfering with an aircraft, the report said. A message left at Albedhady-Sanchez's home was not immediately returned Wednesday.
US Airways spokesman Bill McGlashen said Wednesday he didn't know how early in the flight the passenger became unruly, why she reacted, how she was restrained, or whether any flight attendants were injured.
"All I know is that during the flight the passenger became disruptive to the point where the crew took the precautionary measure of restraining her in the cabin," McGlashen said.
A male attendant who tried to intervene was also slapped across the jaw, the arrest report said. Albedhady-Sanchez kicked a second male flight attendant in the groin as the off-duty deputy wrestled her to the back of the jet. She continued kicking after her hands were cuffed by plastic restraints and broke an armrest.
The woman was screaming and crying while she was checked by medics in the terminal before being taken away, according to Raleigh station WNCN (http://bit.ly/HbS2XI), which said one of its reporters spoke to arriving crew members in the terminal.

I am writing to dispute the claim that Mrs. Ellen Tucker has brought forth against the Belmont Police Department. I am a life-long resident of Belmont and went to church with her sister, Donna Deitz and I also knew Kevin Loftin. I am a former patrol officer with the City of Belmont and have been in numerous chases myself. I noticed in the article with Mrs. Tucker that she never blamed the person who was 100 percent responsible for these tragic deaths - Lester Norman. She has laid total blame on the police department. I hope that she is not blaming the police department because they have the deepest pockets.
I would like to address some of her points from the article: Her suggestion of just getting a tag number is irrational. Anyone that knows anything about the criminal justice system knows that getting a conviction with the person behind the wheel is hard enough due to the justice system. If you show up to get a warrant with only a tag number as evidence, they would laugh you out of the court house. It is not substantial evidence.
Her suggestion of chasing only certain offenses is a dangerous proposition. If the town allows drunk drivers to not be stopped at all costs, then the town will lose more than these two valuable citizens.
Her comment that the police are supposed to be grown-ups, does not even deserve a response.
Finally, Mrs. Tucker's comment about whether checkpoints are even effective in catching criminals has no factual basis. The reason the Belmont Police Department sets up checkpoints is because of Belmont's geographical location of having two U.S. highways and being on the edge of a major city. These checkpoints have prevented quite a bit of weapons, drugs, alcohol, and other felony charges from entering this town.
I would ask Mrs. Tucker if the police had not chased Mr. Norman and the same events would have occurred, would she then lay blame on the police for not having tried to stop this individual. I believe that she has placed the town and the police department in a no win situation. I have personally watched the police chase tape on The Gazette's website. I do not personally know the officer involved, but what I saw showed the officer did nothing wrong. In most chases, the closer you get to the suspect while in pursuit, the faster the suspect tends to go. The officer appeared to me that he was hanging back and not initiating a faster chase.
If Mrs. Tucker really wants to make a difference with police chases and the safety of them, I would ask her to lobby the N.C. Legislature to make all pursuits a felony that would by punished by a mandatory incarceration of give years and the car being seized. This would probably stop 90 percent of all chases. If someone did run, the police would know that the individual was extremely dangerous and had probably committed a crime that is more severe than a mandatory five year sentence.
I am truly sorry for Mrs. Tucker's loss as well as the town's loss of these two fine citizens. However, we do not need to make the mistake of limiting police in their job of trying to protect each and every one of its citizens.

• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
Pakistan has arrested five Pakistani CIA informants who gave information to the US that led to the raid of Osama bin Laden's compound, The New York Times and Associated Press reported Wednesday. Though both the US and Pakistan claim to be crucial partners in the battle against terrorism, the news is the most recent in a series of blows to the US-Pakistan relationship, which is already suffering because of a lack of trust on both sides.
The US sees the US-Pakistan counterterrorism partnership as crucial to ending the war in Afghanistan. But it has received a significant amount of pushback from Pakistan in recent months to its various counterterrorism efforts, particularly the drone program that targets militants in Pakistan's northwest, along the Afghan border.
The Pakistani intelligence agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), meanwhile, has been increasingly unwilling to work with the CIA on surveillance or to grant visas to American intelligence agents. A partnership in which the US trained Pakistani paramilitary troops has also been put to an end, the Times reports. And Pakistanis are becoming highly critical of their military for allowing the US to act unilaterally on Pakistani territory.
"We have a strong relationship with our Pakistani counterparts and work through issues when they arise," said Marie E. Harf, a C.I.A. spokeswoman. "Director Panetta had productive meetings last week in Islamabad. It's a crucial partnership, and we will continue to work together in the fight against Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups who threaten our country and theirs."
In April, Pakistani officials, angry over what they saw as the United States' increasingly unilateral actions within their borders, demanded a complete halt to drone attacks in the northwest (which did not materialize). The demands came after months of deep tensions over Raymond Davis, a CIA contractor working covertly in the country who shot and killed two Pakistani men he claimed were trying to rob him. Pakistan said it had no knowledge of his link to the CIA prior to his arrest and were told he was a low-level US embassy employee.
The US sees sending drones to oust militants in the border region as one of its only options in the northwest, partially because the Pakistani military has resisted staging offensives in many key areas. When CIA Director Leon Panetta visited Pakistan last week, he pushed for Pakistani permission to let the drones fly over larger swaths of the northwest. Still, the US is already making contingency plans and preparing for the possibility of relocating the home base of some of the drones from Pakistan to a base in Afghanistan, the Times reports.
US officials are frustrated with Pakistan's resistance to US counterterrorism efforts, and the revelation about the detention of CIA informants is likely to fuel their dissatisfaction. Some in Congress have demanded a reduction in the amount of American aid to Pakistan, which totals $20.7 billion since 2002, according to a Christian Science Monitor report.
Military aid to Pakistan is aimed at cooperation in the war on terror.
Since 2001, Pakistan has launched offensives against Islamic-militant havens. Pakistani intelligence has helped the US nab some top Al Qaeda leaders. Islamabad has also risked popular discontent by allowing the US to base drones and more CIA operatives on its soil.
Yet the help dries up when it comes to targeting groups most active in fighting the US in Afghanistan. Insurgencies are hard to defeat when they have sanctuary across a border. Meanwhile, the Pew Research Center finds that just 11 percent of Pakistanis have a favorable view of the US, up one point from 2002.
Last month, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton traveled to Pakistan and warned officials that if the country did not take positive, substantial steps against terrorism within its borders, the US would feel justified in acting unilaterally once again, as it did in the raid on Mr. bin Laden's compound.

A Bucks County company named Gibraltar Rock Inc. has been trying to locate a rock quarry, asphalt plant and concrete batch plant in a mostly residential neighborhood of New Hanover since the year 2000.
Since 2001, thousands of local residents have signed petitions opposing these three operations.
If you visit the company's website, you will read a letter that is misleading at best. The letter is addressed to New Hanover Township officials who were elected or appointed because of their desire to make decisions in the best interest of the community. Gibraltar Rock is requesting that residents submit to the township a signed copy of their letter. Let's look at the details.
This company letter states that they have submitted a land development plan that complies with all of the township's land use ordinances - a statement that is essentially false. New Hanover began examining the mining plan in December 2010, and anyone who has attended the planning meetings would attest to the fact that Gibraltar Rock has not offered to comply with township land use ordinances.
In their letter, Gibraltar Rock states that economic progress and 'protecting our environment' can be achieved by approval of their mining plan. The economic progress they are referring to is their promise to bring 20 new jobs to the area. 'Protecting the environment' refers to blasting, fly rock, 200 tri-axle trucks daily on local roads, crushing and processing that will cause poor air quality and potentially dangerous traffic for a large public elementary school, a group home for the disabled, a 62-acre farm facility that provides summer equestrian day camps for children, a flourishing continuing care retirement village, a junior high school, and several parks near the site.
In the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, researchers report new findings indicating that women exposed to high levels of air pollution are at greater risk of having unhealthy babies and babies with low birth weight. Low birth weight is associated with increased risk of infant mortality and other health risks. This study, released on February 6, looked at three million births across nine countries.
The Health Effects Institute is a non-profit corporation chartered in 1980 as an independent research organization to provide high-quality, impartial, and relevant science on the effects of air pollution on health. HEI receives funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and from the worldwide motor vehicle industry. HEI has funded more than 280 research projects on four continents, the results of which have informed decisions regarding a number of pollutants including particulate matter. These results appear in more than 200 comprehensive reports published by HEI. Particulate matter with a diameter of less than 10 microns is referred to as PM-10. PM-10 and PM-2.5 dust particles are created by rock quarries.
There are some interesting documents from the American Lung Association regarding the health risks of particulate air pollution. You may go to their site and search 'Particle Air Pollution' or 'Particulate Air Pollution.'
Silicosis is a disabling, non-reversible and sometimes fatal lung disease caused by over-exposure to respirable crystalline silica. The website of the U.S. Dept. of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provides information and links related to this topic.
An Assessment of the Possible Effect on Public Health of Respirable Free (meaning airborn) Silica Dust, a scientific study conducted by H. Rod Warters produced on March 21, 2007, raises serious concerns regarding the quantity and health risks of silica dust created and disbursed by blasting, crushing and transportation operations at quarries.
Going back to the Gibraltar Rock letter ... the company states economic progress and protecting our environment can be achieved by approval of their mining plan. Economic progress for them, perhaps ... but unhealthy mothers, unhealthy babies, unhealthy lungs for the rest of us.

This was a book which I picked up solely based on the title and without a doubt this is one of the most hilarious books I have ever read! The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared is originally a Swedish novel authored by Jonas Jonasson and published in 2009 – I of course picked the English translation. I have never been a fan on translations till now, but now count me as a convert.
Allan Karlsson is no mood to attend his 100th birthday party and disappears from his old-age home. Along with him a suitcase full of money also disappears and so we meet a criminal gang, an elephant, a hot-dog vendor who has unlimited knowledge, an overzealous prosecutor, a foul-mouthed beauty, and many more intricately woven characters. And this is just the present. After all the protagonist is 100 years old, and has a lot to tell.
We revisit Allan Karlsson's life and get a completely new perspective on the major events of the 20th century. While he is a completely apolitical person – he loses the conversation thread as soon as politics make an appearance – Allan has played a pivotal role in the world politics. He has a hand in rise of General Franco in Spain, Mao in China, and Charles de Gaulle in France. He has foiled an assassination attempt on Winston Churchill, he has sung songs with Stalin, and is indirectly responsible for the fall of the Soviet Empire. Oh and did I mention he made the atom bomb at Los Alamos while working on the Manhattan Project and later spilled the secret to Soviet Union over a bottle of Vodka.
Wish this book was a few hundred pages longer and wish I could take a 15 year vacation like Allan. Go pick this book today, you would not be disappointed.
P.S.: Posting a book review after a year!


text: Wednesday, June 29, 2011 NH Supervision Rules Replace 'Physical Presence' Requirement After diligent efforts by the state's physical therapists, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) has issued a clarification on the supervision requirement of physical therapist assistants. On June 11 NH DHHS issued a memo stating that no recoupment action would be taken for any Medicaid claims submitted since June 2005 related to the "physical presence" requirement. Previously, claims would not be covered by Medicaid if the physical therapist was not physically present when services were provided by a physical therapist assistant. After receiving interpretation from federal regulators this summer, the department will be replacing the current "physical presence" requirement (He-W 568.05) with a requirement that the physical therapist must be available at least by telecommunication for direction and supervision but does not have to be on site, which aligns with the New Hampshire statute. Providers must continue to meet the requirements of: NH statutes related to therapy services; Rules promulgated by the governing boards of physical therapists, occupational therapists, or speech pathologists, as applicable, regarding licensure and supervision; and NH Medicaid rules with the exception of the "physical presence requirement" at He-W 568.05. On a related note, APTA has submitted comments emphasizing the vital importance of access to physical therapy services for Medicaid beneficiaries, in response to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed rule that would require states to implement a standardized review process to ensure compliance with Medicaid access requirements. The rule was published May 6 and reported in a May 25 News Now article. Comments I am intereted to help people PTA sisting on their helth. Posted by Jose Silva Ramos on 6/29/2011 6:34 PM I would like to see APTA address the physical presence requirement for supervision of a PTA in an outpatient setting for Medicare clients. Florida, where I practice, allows off site and telephonic communication and supervision which is adequate fo the PTA professional in outpatient settings. Posted by Jill rubin on 7/2/2011 9:54 AM I too would like to see APTA address the physical presence requirement for supervision of a PTA in a private practice outpatient setting for Medicare clients. I don't understand why a PTA in private practice requires more supervision then in an outpatient setting owned by a physician or hospital. In a rural setting this can present even a greater challenge. Posted by CRAIG BUTTURFF on 7/3/2011 5:03 PM I would also like to see APTA address the physical presence of PT for Medicare clients. In rural settings the PT isn't always available. Therefore Medicare pts are at a disadvantage because of the availablity of the PT. Are there any policies in place for rural settings?
