"Bob's notes" are reports from CFCA President Bob Hentzen, who regularly accompanies mission awareness trip participants. You can see Bob's full update on his Facebook page.
It's a joy to communicate with you from Bolivia.
In this multicultural country of more than 10 million people, many are said to survive on less than $1 a day.
At CFCA, we've had the privilege of walking with the Bolivians since 1988. In Bolivia, CFCA currently serves 10,182 sponsored children, 824 sponsored aging friends and 917 families on our waiting list. CFCA scholars play an important role in every project.
Cristina and I arrived in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, from Cali, Colombia. We just finished an inspiring encuentro de formaciÛn (staff formation workshop) with 60 fellow co-workers from all the CFCA projects in Colombia. Our heartfelt thanks and blessings go out to each of you.
We were fortunate to arrive in Bolivia two days before the sponsors arrived. We spent our time preparing for the arrival of the sponsors and making adjustments after tropical storm Isaac. Many flights were delayed because of the storm, which gave us an opportunity for some staff formation.
Thanks to Stacy King, and all those in K.C., for keeping us well-informed of the changes. These Santa Cruz staffers included Domitila, Geovana, Marioly, Sylvia, Lupe, Andrea, and scholars Celine and Roxana.
As a team, we took a full day's trip (23 hours) out to the rugged mountainous area, where Ernesto "Che" Guevara tried to establish a base of operation in Bolivia in 1967.
He was captured in 1967, and ultimately executed in a little school in the small mountain village of La Higuera.
Felix, our driver for the trip, is originally from this area His older brother, Santos, told us the story of Ernesto "Che" Guevara's capture, which occurred on Oct. 7, 1967, and his execution, which occurred two days later.
The long trip was tough, but well worth it. In a deep ravine we could see the caves where "el Che" and his companions made their base.
Personally I pray for peace, and I stand for non-violent conflict resolution, yet I find it very impressive to see these places up close and talk to the good people who live in this community.
It was great to see Sister Leonor one morning. In years past, she coordinated the CFCA project in Barrio Primero de Mayo. Now she is principal of a large school (nearly 1,000 children) in this area. Many of the children from this school are sponsored. Over the years, these sisters have become inspiring examples of the "lucha," (what it takes to live and work in these communities). They remain inspiring examples and close friends of CFCA.
The Sisters and girls from Hogar San Francisco spent Sunday morning with us and accompanied us to Sunday Mass.
The second reading for this Mass hit home: "Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world," (James 1:27, NASB).
We celebrate our community in a spirit of "Aptaphi," which is an Aymara expression meaning, "sharing a meal in common from what each has been able to bring."
I heard a mother of a sponsored child say to the sponsors, "We want our children to follow your example."
Mothers of sponsored children in La Paz have been able to purchase an industrial sewing machine for their livelihood project. They produce blankets for families in these highlands. "We are getting ahead through CFCA."
Final Note: Over and over again in Bolivia, I have witnessed examples of profound love of country, family, sponsors and CFCA. Our repeated message is that we love them too. Cristina and I head back now to Guatemala, for less than a week. I look forward to seeing everyone in K.C. for a couple of days. Cristina will be able to be with her mother (age 94) in K.C., while I head over to Kenya, Madagascar and Uganda. Please know of our love and gratitude.

Yosi Levy
Please see the full events listing for upcoming events.
Israeli guitarist and composer Yosi Levy, a multifaceted acoustic and electric guitarist of exceptional range and depth, will present music from his latest CD, The Yosi Levy Acoustic Project, which combines music from the Mediterranean, Israel, India, and the Americas into a unique blend of original music. He will discuss the composition and production process and perform music from the CD. Sponsored by the Mediterranean Music Institute and the Israeli Consulate.
His latest album was recorded live with two outstanding musicians—the Israeli flutist Ilan Salem and Bickram Ghosh, one of the greatest living Indian tabla players. A longtime accompanist to sitar legend Ravi Shankar, Ghosh was honored in a composition written by Levy, "For Bickram," that is included in the album.
Levy's Acoustic Project has been touring through India, China, and Israel in a spectrum of festivals and clubs. They will be performing in New York City with flutist Itai Kriss in October.
Levy also performs as a solo acoustic guitarist, fusing a fascinating breadth of jazz and baroque-style improvisation. His free movement between genres creates an exciting polyphonic texture and showcases Levy's capabilities as an unlimited creator. He has also produced strong electric playing, as can be heard on his "The House on Lefferts Boulevard," featuring legendary jazz saxophonist Dave Liebman.
As a tireless performer, Levy has collaborated and performed with an expansive variety of musicians, including Jeff "Tain" Watts, Frank Gambale, Phil Woods, Jeff Berlin, Bob Gullotti, and Mordy Ferber. He has also played as guitarist with some Israel's greatest stars, including Yoni Rechter, Yosi Banai, Ester Ofarim, Shem Tov Levy, Yair Dallal, and many more.

One of the highlights of my role at the ROH is receiving invitations to see new operas each summer. But these aren't the latest offerings from Mark-Anthony Turnage or Harrison Birtwistle, much as I admire their work. No, these are invitations to visit schools across the country, to see performances of new operas that have been devised and staged by children and young people as part of the Write an Opera project.
Sometimes, when I can't attend a show, an envelope full of pages of libretto, sketches for set designs, photos of the rehearsal process, or a DVD of the new opera lands on my desk. I watch each and every one with great enjoyment. From this season, however, there's one stand-out performance.
Ophelias Hemmelighet (Ophelia's Secret) was devised and staged in Lier, a small village 35km southwest of Oslo, Norway. Over the years, a number of Norwegian teachers have attended Write an Opera and gone on to stage new operas in their schools. But this was a Norwegian opera premiere with a difference as Ophelias Hemmelighet was devised, staged and performed by staff and patients from Bergfløtt Behandlingssenter, a treatment centre for young people with schizophrenia or other psychotic conditions who need residential care.
The DVD of the opera caused a real stir in the Learning and Participation office. Featuring a forest and sword, Ophelias Hemmelighet reminded us of Parsifal – a new production of which will be staged at the Royal Opera House during the 2013/14 Season. Not so reminiscent of Parsifal are the characters of Marvin the farmer, who sets out on a quest to break the curse that afflicts his one true love, and Vladimir, a vampire who works as a night security guard for a perfume company. The music by turn is haunting and infectiously upbeat and the set and costumes are both beautiful and clever. The band of musicians – comprising guitar, ukulele, piano, synths, drums and bass – sounds fantastic and the words are both funny and poignant.
The project was masterminded and led by social worker Halvor Tjomsland, who also played Marvin the farmer in the resulting opera. Halvor says: 'It's never been more fun to work, and never more rewarding. I continue to be amazed by the abundance of creativity in the patients, and by the positive effect this project has had on their everyday life'
Congratulations to all at Bergfløtt Treatment Centre. We can't wait to hear about your next operatic adventure!

So I'm having this really annoying problem and I've searched everywhere for a fix but haven't had any luck..
Basically I've recently upgraded to a macbook pro late 2017 (15 inch macOS high sierra 10.13.4, 2.8GHz ,16gb RAM) installed Studio one 3.5.6, my plugins etc and I'm having this problem:
I open a new song, add a new mono track for guitar, and as soon as I plug in my guitar I can hear the "dry" direct input through my speakers/headphones when I play before even adding an amp sim or any effects/inserts (whether I'm plugged into the phones output or the main output it's the same)
My audio interface is the audiobox usb, and I've got my mixer knob set all the way to "playback"
Before this I was on a Windows PC and I recall having this problem at some point too but I managed to fix it but I can't remember what I did...
This also happens when I open up a standalone amp sim program (pod farm, Bias fx) and run it outside of Studio One. All effects are turned off and I can hear the dry guitar, I add an amp and a few effects and get my tone but when playing the dry input is still audible.
When recording in Studio One, whilst playing I hear the dry input, when I listen to the recording it's just the tone.
Hopefully this is detailed enough for you guys to understand exactly, and I hope someone has an idea for a fix!
Do you have the blue monitor button next to the record button pressed? That will monitor your original signal as well as your sim signal. Unpress it and see if that works, I had the same issue, as that worked for me.

tomgastauer1 wroteDo you have the blue monitor button next to the record button pressed? That will monitor your original signal as well as your sim signal. Unpress it and see if that works, I had the same issue, as that worked for me.
Yes it is pressed, but if I click it to turn it off I can't hear what I'm playing at all..
Are you putting the amp sim in an insert slot. you're not setting up an fx bus or anything?
The monitor button passes the audio through the track so with no inserts it should be the dry guitar, inserts are 100% wet so no dry guitar should come through.
Unless you have a send set up on that track.
If your dry guitar stops when you unclick the monitor button then it's not your interface.
Zero latency interfaces can monitor directly which is the source for a lot of dry guitar problems.
Tacman7 wroteAre you putting the amp sim in an insert slot. you're not setting up an fx bus or anything?
Yeah I'm only putting it as an insert, no fx bus or sends.
When I unclick the monitor button I can't hear my guitar at all.
With the audiobox usb I can monitor direct input with the mixer knob when it's turned to the left to inputs, when I turn it to the right to playback, I should only hear what the daw is processing, but I can still hear the dry guitar input as well as the processed audio (with amp sim)
So if the monitor button stops the guitar completely...
That would indicate it's not coming through your interface directly because the track monitor button doesn't have any effect on that signal pathway.
Start with a new song and new track and put an insert in that has a volume control, then turn the volume all the way down, you shouldn't hear any guitar.
Troubleshooting is a hassle but there are only 2 rules:
1 Try Everything
2 Only do one thing at a time.
I had the same issue recently. In my case it was the audio interface, an Eleven Rack. Nothing to do with Studio One. Some interfaces have what they call zero latency monitoring, basically it is a mix of the interface input signal with whatever is coming from the Daw, routed directly to interface headphones and outputs.
I hope this helps.
The signal is either going through your interface or you have a send setup somewhere that you forgot about.
Probably interface. You have an app to control your interface? That's a zero latency interface if it send the guitar right back to the headphones without going through the DAW. Can you hear your dry guitar when S1 is not running?
You should put your specs in your signature.
I guess they don't call it zero latency monitoring anymore. It says" cue mix monitoring on the first of two headphone outputs"
Not sure if it can send signals right back to the headphone. I was trying to find that out so I looked at the manual and I noticed that it has loopback inputs. We were trying to find out which interfaces have that and were basically unable to do so easily.
Looks like a good interface.

Whether tis freedom limited to rhetoric and laughter,
To ignore centralized economic planning
Or to take up the pen and coin outrage
By opposing the Federal Reserve - our Central Bank.
On the eve of Christmas past,
While Congressmen contemplated their vacations
Clever and wiley coyotes, with a stroke of new law
Erased free banking from American tradition.
Ho Ho Ho doth cry Santa, welcome the european alliance!
Shoo dear Teddy, me thinkest thou protesteth to much.
The Robber barons do not hate America,
Rather they lust greed and money.
Fair Wilson, who bears your cross, whips and scorns
Under your fine watch, the neglected Constitution
Became antiquated and disdained by President's thereafter
Washington's fine council, America abandoned.
Brave spirit of Freedom, who clipped your wings
Destiny's course changed, America joined europe's wars.
Wall Street bemoaned its terrible fall
Arise O savior, sainted FDR.
This crippled giant, who's socialist light doth shine
Soft you now ... O Freedom Nymph
The Corporate Press shouts in pius democratic speech
Be all my sins ... Remembered.

There's Only So Much New Technology You Can Embrace
This week, I was dragged kicking and screaming onto Google Plus. Or Google+, as it's known by some. Or G+, as it's known by people with busy lives.
I didn't want to set up a Google Plus account, but had to because of my job. The place where I work is internet-based, you see, and extremely good at harnessing all the amazing internet-based things which make it one of the biggest and most successful websites around. Such as: getting everyone who works there to use Google+ (oh god, I'm starting to use the lingo already).
And the reason I didn't want to set up a G+ (well, I do have a busy life) account is this: there's only so much technology I can be bothered with these days.
In 1987, I sat my O Levels (younger readers: these are a bit like GCSEs, only harder. American readers: these are a bit like SATs, only harder). One of said O Levels was Computer Studies – which mainly involved writing essays about barcode systems and daisy wheel printers…
…and very little actual computer work. I'm sure that Computer Studies is very different now. Kids probably learn how to code, and create apps, and hack into government systems.
Similarly, the computer games I played were the very early ones: Space Invaders on an Atari, Pole Position and Track And Field at arcades (but only when on holiday), and of course, the ones where you'd put a cassette in a ZX Spectrum or Commodore 64 and wait half an hour for it to load, like Frogger, Pac-Man and Manic Miner. I hasten to add that I personally didn't own an Atari, ZX Spectrum or Commodore 64, but was lucky enough to have friends who did. I have fond memories of spending school lunchtimes at Caroline Hughes's house, for example, where we'd eat our sandwiches in five minutes flat, listen to Tears For Fears while we waited 30 minutes for a game to load, play it for 15 minutes, and then dash back to school. Good times. Especially if one of us had achieved a new High Score.
The Eighties weren't just about computer games, though. The other significant technological advancement to enter my life came after my mum won £1,000 on the Premium Bonds and celebrated it by treating the family to a VCR. This was a particularly big deal as a) we were not a fancy, gadget-y household and b) VCRs were only just becoming popular in British homes. As a result of both these things, we bought a Betamax. It took many, many years – and the slow, painful dearth [sic] of Betamax rental films in our local video shop – to convince my parents that they should switch to VHS.
When I was at university, I wrote my essays by hand, of course, and research was limited to books in the library and searches through microfiches. And in my first jobs – which were working as the assistant manager of a virtual reality ride* in the Trocadero, and then as the assistant manager of an arthouse cinema** – I would cash up at night with the aid of a calculator, a sheet of paper and a bottle of Tippex, with background music emanating from a dusty little cassette player. And then I'd send through the details of the takings to head office via a fax machine. It was quite the day when we introduced credit card bookings, I can tell you.
(Fun fact: A projectionist at the cinema once handed me a cassette demo made by one of our front-of-house staff and his mates. I put it on as I totted up the day's takings, and as I half-listened, thought to myself: "They're pretty good… they sound like Primal Scream". They were The Beta Band.)
By the time I was working as a comedy promoter a few years later, things had improved tremendously. I had a computer. Oh, yes. Although given that I'd attended typing classes as a teenager, it's a wonder I didn't do this when I first used one:
And we didn't just have computers in that office. Oh, no. We also had internal email. Still, that was nothing compared to my friend Jill, who had begun work at a big conference company where you could email people outside the building. I couldn't quite get my head around such futuristic nonsense.
But fast forward later still, and I'd got a DVD player, seen The Hamster Dance – and the rest is all a big, internet-shaped blur…
When Barack Obama was elected President in 2008, I read a piece which made the point that the team of people who were moving into the White House were the first generation to really embrace – not avoid, or reluctantly learn to use – all sorts of new technologies as part of their day-to-day lives.
And while Obama's a little older than me (happy 52nd birthday for August, Mr President!), I think the same holds true for us fortysomethings. In fact, off the top of my head, here's what I reckon I've adapted to/learned to use over the years, in chronological order. As far as I can remember. The electronic waves from all the gadgets might have addled my brain:
Cassette tapes, computer games, VCRs (Betamax and VHS), personal stereos, word processors, the PC, CDs, the Gameboy, remote controls, email, the internet, mobile phones, texting, DVDs, the iBook, iTunes, the iPod, Flickr, the Macbook, digital cameras, blogging, html, MySpace, Facebook, Skype, podcasting, mobile phones that can take photos and stuff, emoticons, Spotify, Twitter, wifi, the Kindle, 3G.
While it's no Blitz, it's quite a lot for one generation to have gone through, learning how to use all that lot. Well done, everyone.
But now I want to shout "ENOUGH ALREADY!". And I'm not even American. Or Jewish.
I have Spotify playlists and an (increasingly redundant, thanks to Spotify) iTunes library – I can't keep up with 8 Tracks, too. I have a Flickr account to store my photos, and a digital camera and mobile phone to take them with, so do I really need to bother with Instagram? And I'm afraid I don't have time to see what someone's pinning on their Pinterest board (although I hear it's likely to be a picture of a cupcake) because it's all I can do to check my emails, comment on my friends' Facebook statuses and tweet on Twitter.
I'm not about to go off and live in the woods. Partly because there's a distinct lack of electricity out there, plus I'm not the world's greatest camper. But as I stare at the ever decreasing circles of Google Plus, I would rather like it if everyone just slowed down a bit with this whole technology thing, please. I'd just like to catch my breath, have a sit down, and get my head fully around the things which I've probably still only got it half around.
Maybe it's because my brain is now full.
Maybe it's because I'm over 40.
Or maybe it's just because I was badly burned by the whole VHS/Betamax thing.
*Virtual reality ride – n. A really rubbish experience that you were overcharged for in the mid-1990s, chiefly aimed at Italian teenagers wandering around Leicester Square.
**Arthouse cinema – n. A type of independent cinema which showed films no one wanted to see throughout the 1980s and early '90s, until 'The Usual Suspects' came out in 1995, which was a hit and thus confused everyone.

Seamless transition as Alexander Friedman steps down
UBS today announced that Mark Haefele will assume the role of Global Chief Investment Officer for UBS Wealth Management and Wealth Management Americas. Alexander Friedman, the current Global Chief Investment Officer, has decided to step down in order to pursue a new opportunity outside the firm.
Mr. Haefele will join the Wealth Management Executive Committee. He joined the firm in 2011 and is currently the head of the CIO Global Investment Office, reporting to Mr. Friedman. Prior to joining UBS, Mr. Haefele was a managing director at Matrix Capital Management, and before that was co-founder and co-portfolio manager at The Sonic Funds.
Juerg Zeltner, CEO of UBS Wealth Management said, "We are pleased that Mark Haefele has accepted this key role for UBS Wealth Management. Mark is a highly qualified investment expert with a global track record. His management skills and ability to transform his deep market knowledge into relevant information that benefits our clients, make him the ideal successor for this important position."
UBS plans to further invest in the Chief Investment Office with a particular focus on expanding its capabilities in the emerging markets and Asian geographies as well as in its alternative investing and values-based investing offerings.
Mr. Friedman joined UBS in February 2011 to establish the Chief Investment Office and develop a UBS House View. Today, the Chief Investment Office manages the discretionary and advisory assets of Wealth Management clients worldwide, and provides the firm's clear, consolidated view on all markets and asset classes.
Under the leadership of Mr. Friedman and his team, a systematic, global investment process has been established that has produced strong and consistent investment results for the firm's clients during a volatile, post-crisis period. The process comprises the expertise of more than 900 in-house analysts and external experts, and forms the foundation of the UBS House View, globally recognized for its comprehensive and effective investment insights.
On the departure of Mr. Friedman, Mr. Zeltner said: "We are grateful to Alex for his exceptional leadership in creating a strong CIO team and running a world-class investment organization that has produced excellent results. He did a fantastic job and we wish him much success in his future endeavors."

Options and Considerations for Heart Valve Surgery
Is it possible to treat valve diseases with medications alone?
Most valve conditions can't be treated with medication alone. However, sometimes the problem is not severe enough to require surgical repair, but it is bothersome enough to cause symptoms or risks. In cases like these, a condition might be effectively managed for a while with medication.
In some cases, medications may be prescribed for patients with valvular disease to:
- Reduce unpleasant symptoms that accompany milder forms of the disorder.
- Maintain heart rhythm if a related arrhythmia is present.
- Reduce calcification in and around coronary arteries.
- Lower the patient's risk for clotting and stroke.
Valve dysfunction is usually a progressive disease, and among those who receive no treatment, the outlook can be poor. But many who do receive treatment go on to live very full and healthy lives, especially when their cardiovascular risks are otherwise low.
What happens if I don't treat my condition or choose to ignore the recommended procedures?
Valve disease is not a condition that should be ignored when treatment is recommended. When a person's aortic stenosis becomes severe, the average survival rate without surgical intervention is only 50 percent after two years and only 20 percent after five years.
Evidence is also clear that with proper treatment, most people enjoy a return to good health and add many years to their life.
Understanding your heart valve problem: Which solution may be right for you?
Walk through a step-by-step interactive guide explaining your valve issue and treatment options with helpful videos, text summaries and links along the way.
What are the risks associated with valve disease treatment?
As with all surgeries, there are inherent risks. You can reduce your risks by choosing a surgeon and surgery center with well-documented experience treating patients with similar conditions as yours. Because every patient's risk factors are different, your doctor and your hospital personnel will be able to assess your risks and choose the best treatment for you.
People who have damaged, repaired or replaced heart valves are also at increased risk for developing an infection of the valve (endocarditis).
Is it true that even dental work can increase risks for people with heart valve problems?
It depends. Until recently, the American Heart Association recommended giving antibiotics to prevent endocarditis to these patients before they had dental work. However, those guidelines have changed — the American Heart Association no longer recommends antibiotics before dental procedures, except for patients at the highest risk for bad outcomes from endocarditis. If a person has had heart valve surgery, but has not had a heart valve replaced, their cardiologist or surgeon will tell them if they need antibiotics. Read more about the antibiotic prophylaxis guidelines for infective endocarditis.
People who have had heart valve surgery will probably be placed on an anticoagulant to prevent blood clots from forming.

Crete For Life is a child focused charity that works on practical projects to make an immediate – but hopefully lasting - impact on children's lives. What we do Since 2005, our main project is an annual restorative, fun filled holiday on Crete for sick children, who might otherwise never have a holiday. We have welcomed children coping with life threatening diseases from Greece, Belarus (those affected by the consequences of the Chernobyl's catastrophe) Syria, Iraq and from other parts of the world.
Over recent years, in response to the Greek economical crisis and the unprecedented mass migration and refugee crisis, we have moved into other areas of support:
• Helping refugees and migrants on the island of Crete and elsewhere in Greece, giving priority to unaccompanied minors and those most at risk.
• Supporting Crete's university hospital who serves thousands of children every year. • Providing local children whose families & communities have suffered greatly from the economic downturn with practical help, medical assistance and emotional support.
Why we do it?

For ladies who don't know, Sleek MakeUP is a drugstore or highstreet cosmetic brand sold exclusively at Superdrug (and some online outlets) in the UK.
It began life as a range for darker skinned women (in terms of base – concealer, foundations etc.) but the colour products can, of course, be used with any skintone. I have noticed that they have recently expanded their base range so that there are options for lighter skins too.
Anyway – their 12 eyeshadow palettes cause much kerfuffle, simply because they are very good value, very pigmented and are just generally little gems in a sea of rather non-descript cosmetic stands.
Here are all the palettes from Sleek that I have collected (9 in total) – they are about £4.88 (the price seems to shift a little up or down – I can say that they are always less than £5). If I have missed any, let me know but I *think* these are all the palettes from Sleek to date.
Palette & Swatch Images right here!
1. Original Palette:
My View:
The Original palette is such a great palette because its very balanced in terms of the shades it has to offer. Perhaps this is because Sleek never expected for it to be so successful (and that they would be releasing so many variations and palettes), so the Original kind of has a bit of everything – greens, blues, purple ,cream, beige, black, gold.
This palette is lovely and a great starting point for anyone interesting in these palettes.
Pigmentation & Texture: Excellent, Shimmery Shades
Status: Permanent
Keep Reading!
2. Chaos:
My View:
Chaos (I always find that word hard to spell) is my least favourite palette of the bunch. The shadows are supposed to be bright, and in a sense they are, but they are also matte and a little chalky. It makes them hard to wear sometimes and the colours in the palette are a little odd.
Nevertheless, I am glad I have it – I mean, £5 gets me a pencil sharpener and a slap in the face at Chanel so mustn't grumble too much.
Pigmentation & Texture: Average, Matte, Somewhat Chalky
Status: Permanent
3. Storm:
My View:
Sleek launched Storm along with Chaos, if I remember correctly, which is a moody but stunning palette – neutral but not boring at all. There are some considerate mattes (I think its always great to have some mattes along with the super metallic shades) in there too.
All in all, a gorgeous palette – very practical and wearable but also easily adaptable for the evening.
Pigmentation & Texture: Pigmented, Matte and Shimmers
Status: Permanent
4. Jewels:
My View:
Jewel is a LE palette and with a name like Jewels, you'd expect a knock out palette. However – I think this is the second weakest in this range. There isn't a stand out colour here for me, and not enough twinkle (remember, its called Jewels!).
Still a nice palette – the dark green and burgundy make it worth the £5 alone but overall, not the best co-ordinated palette.
Pigmentation & Texture: Average to Good, Mainly shimmery metallics, a few semi-mattes.
Status: Limited Edition
5. Acid:
My View:
Acid was released full of hot matte neons! Yay! My kinda fun palette. I'm starting to notice that Sleek put black in every nearly palette..don't mind this as if I were just taking one of these babies out, I would definitely want a black to line and define. Their black is also very pigmented and smooth.
This palette is not faultless – the white, yellow and orange lack pigment and are a little chalky. However, the stunners in here – the two blues, the hot pink, the silver, the purple make this palette really good fun and well worth it.
Pigmentation & Texture: Average to Excellent, Mattes and Shimmers.
Status: Permanent
6. Safari:
My View:
This palette is very Safari-esque – those stunning greens and golds make it my kind of palette. The black in this palette is also metallic and soooo pigmented – its heaven. It does depend on what kind of shades you like – I love greens and golds and metallics so this palette is a real winner for me.
I also can't fault the pigment, colour range or textures in this palette.
Pigmentation & Texture: Excellent, Metallic
Status: Limited Edition
7. Curious
(I couldn't find the palette so had to reuse my old images, sorry):
My View:
Curious is a Limited Palette full of blues and greens. The pigment is good and everything about the palette is pretty and wearable although it lacks a consistent 'theme' or the knock out shade which makes the palette.
Having said that, this is a great palette that you can dip into. I have to say, I forgot I even had this to begin with (hence it lacks that 'killer' quality some of the other palettes have).
Pigmentation & Texture: Very Good, Shimmer and Metallics
Status: Limited Edition
8. Sunset:
My View:
This palette was only launched this week and I rushed out to buy it. Its absolutely gorgeous – the texture seems more refined than the earlier palettes leaving a finer shimmer on the skin, the colours – that blue with the oranges – divine! Not everyone likes warm colours of course but this is such a beautiful palette and very aptly named I feel.
Pigmentation & Texture: Excellent, Metallic and a fine shimmer.
Status: Permanent
9. Graphite:
My View:
Graphite is the latest limited edition palette from Sleek (Oct 2009) and its beautiful. Once again, Sleek seem to have improved on their previous textures and there is a fine, soft finish.
The colours are all very pigmented and all obviously follow the Graphite theme – so yes some of the colours seem a bit same-ish with just a small variation, but that's what I like about these palettes. The fact you can spend £5 and get a strongly 'themed' palette with all the greys and silvers you would ever need!
The purple is also a nice touch.
Pigmentation & Texture: Excellent, Metallic, Buttery soft!
Status: Limited Edition
10. Circus:
In this palette, the shadows feel firmer than usual which is a good thing. I love the blues and deep purple, though the lilac on the bottom row is the worst Sleek palette colour I have ever swatched – so little pigment – but I think that can be forgiven considering how interesting this palette is.
10. Good Girl:
Just as well that this is LE otherwise I wouldn't have a reason to buy it.
11. Bad Girl:
Bad girl is the kind of palette that will appeal to loads of people; I think it's smoky, sexy, lots of fun to use and yes, recommended. There are a lot more dark colours than light, but I personally prefer this.
On the downside?
The case
The case of the palettes can be a little stiff – I know with the latest palettes I had to go through a few before I found one I could open easily…but then again I am quite anal.
These eyeshadows are sooooooooooooooooo soft, that you have to be gentle with them. Drop them – they will smash. Press to hard with your brush and tons of product will come off. So be gentle with it!
Always ALWAYS check the palette before buying as I have taken a few broken palettes home.
Too Metallic?
The newer palettes have textures that are spot on, but some of the older palettes are intensely metallic. What I noticed is that if you use too much or you have dry skin, or fine lines, it can sometimes make it look a little worse. Use primer where necessary and use a light hand! Not too much metallic!
These palettes are sold in Superdrug but they sell out so quickly (especially LE palettes) and some girls have complained that their local Superdrug doesn't get Sleek or the new palettes in. So sort it out Sleek & Superdrug!
The Last Word
I am just nit picking with the above points of course – I think its only right to list all possible pros and cons.
These palettes are fabulous. Every single palette has colours that are worth owning and 12 shades for under £5 is terrific value. Even the palettes that I didn't think were *amazing* are still very good. Some of them are just drop dead gaw-jussssss.
I seriously don't run out for any drugstore make up, but I always do for these palettes.
One word: Winner!
This post has taken me ages to do!!!! Do let me know if you like/have/dislike/want these palettes in the comments, or if you just feel sorry for me generally! :o)

Landon Donovan may have slipped another one past the goalie.
A Sports Illustrated story reports a British tabloid, "is set to run a story in which a U.K. woman says she is pregnant with Donovan's child.
Donovan, freshly bumped out of the international competition, acknowledged the possibility of truth in the report to Sports Ilustrated.
"I was informed of the possibility during the World Cup, and if I need to take responsibility, then I will provide the appropriate support," Donovan said. He declined further comment, calling the report a "private matter."
The U.S. scoring leader has been estranged from his wife, "Rules of Engagement" actress Bianca Kajilich, for the past year. Rumors of reconciliation had been swirling this past week, fueled by a post game kiss he blew to her during a television interview.
People magazine reported that the two had shared "emotional" phone conversations throughout the first round of the World Cup.
Donovan and Kajilich do not have any known children.

Most automakers want to design a smart city car for the world that isn't the lame Smart car. The Q-Concept tandem two-seater EV is Suzuki's attempt. Please ignore that it looks like a rolling contraceptive device built for two.
Despite their troubles in the U.S., Suzuki has a great reputation elsewhere for building popular small cars like the Wagon.R, which is a perennial best-seller in Japan.
Their solution to a growing population in need of shrinking cars is the Q-Concept. At just 2.5-meters long with a tandem layout it's somewhere between a motorcycle and a car, although you'll never look tough driving one.
Clever packaging means someone can drive it with a single seat up front and the option of a single seat, two-person child seat, or cargo area in the rear.
Because this seems like a horrifying vehicle to take onto the highway, this electric vehicle is more focused on a green future where we all live in compact areas. You know. Hitting the G-spot.

The Growth of the Washington Elm
To return to the Washington Elm, said to be the tree in Cambridge under which Gen. George Washington took command, one of the striking things about that story is how it grew over the years. The first print mention, back in 1837, stated:
when Washington arrived at Cambridge, he drew his sword as commander-in-chief of the American army, for the first time, beneath its boughs, and resolved within himself that it should never be sheathed till the liberties of his country were established.The image of Washington drawing a sword shows up in many of the subsequent descriptions of the event, though it might simply have been metaphorical.
Gradually, authors and illustrators began to increase the number of troops involved, if not explicitly then implicitly. By 1864, Benjamin Franklin Morris thought it credible for a Continental Army chaplain to describe how Washington "drew his sword and formally took command of the army of seventeen thousand men." In 1876 Currier & Ives published this lithograph of "Washington Taking Control of the American Army, at Cambridge, Mass. July 1775." Like the 1797 engraving I started with, it shows ranks of soldiers drawn up for review, equipped with uniforms, flags, and tents. But now there are even more ranks, and the Washington Elm towers over the scene.
Another Centennial manifestation of the myth was the diary of "Dorothy Dudley," published in a commemorative book titled Theatrum Majorum: The Cambridge of 1776. Many authors have taken that diary of a Cambridge teenager as authentic. But the writer, Mary Williams Greely (later Goodridge, born 1848), created the day-by-day account of the siege as historical fiction. The second edition states that explicitly. An 1885 reference book listed "Dorothy Dudley" as Goodridge's pseudonym. The true nature of that diary has been stated many times, and yet it keeps getting cited and studied.
The "Dudley diary," Currier & Ives print, and Lowell poem aren't the crowning details of the Washington Elm legend, though. It seems impossible to top an unsourced claim that Samuel Adams Drake made in Historic Fields and Mansions of Middlesex, first published in 1874:
When the camp was here Washington caused a platform to be built among the branches of this tree, where he was accustomed to sit and survey with his glass the country round.Unfortunately, I've found no images of the commander-in-chief in his treehouse.
TOMORROW: The great tree starts to fall.

Depression is a mental illness marked by feelings of profound sadness and lack of interest in activities. It is a persistent low mood that interferes with the ability to function and appreciate things in life. It may cause a wide range of symptoms, both physical and emotional. It can last for weeks, months, or years. People with depression rarely recover without treatment.
The exact cause of depression is not known. It may be due to a certain type of brain chemistry. While the exact cause is not clearly established, there are several factors that play a role in depression.
Risk Factors
Depression is more common in females. There are a range of factors that may increase your risk of depression. Examples include:
- Having a family history of depression
- Spouse with depression
- Previous episode of depression
- Hormonal changes
- Chronic illness
- Other conditions related to mental health, such as anxiety , drug abuse , insomnia , and a personality disorder
- History of traumatic brain injury
- History of concussion in teenagers
- History of drug or alcohol use disorder
- Domestic violence
- History of child abuse and neglect or sexual abuse
- A parent who is on military deployment
- Obesity
- History of bullying
- History of self-harm as a teenager, with or without suicidal intent
Emotional or social factors such as:
- Little or no social support
- Negative thought patterns and beliefs
- Low self-esteem
- Lack of personal control over circumstances
- Feelings of helplessness
Depression can differ from person to person. Some people have only a few symptoms, while others have many.
Symptoms can change over time and may include:
- Persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or emptiness
- Hopelessness
- Feeling guilty, worthless, or helpless
- Feeling tired
- Restlessness or irritability
- Trouble sleeping, waking up too early, or oversleeping
- Loss of interest in hobbies and activities
- Trouble concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
- Loss of interest in sex
- Eating more or less than usual
- Weight gain or weight loss
- Thoughts of death or suicide with or without suicide attempts
- Physical symptoms that defy standard diagnosis and do not respond well to medical treatments
There is no blood test or diagnostic test for depression. You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. Depression is usually diagnosed based on the duration, frequency, number, and nature of your symptoms. Special attention will be given to:
- Alcohol and drug use
- Thoughts of death or suicide
- Family members who have or have had depression
- Sleep patterns
- Previous episodes of depression
Specific mental health exams may be done. This will help the doctor get detailed information about your speech, thoughts, memory, and mood. A physical exam and other tests can help rule out other causes.
Treatment may involve the use of medication and/or psychotherapy.
Severe depression can require hospital care, especially if you are at risk of hurting yourself or others.
Antidepressant Medications
Antidepressant medications may be most effective in people with severe depression. These medications can take 2-6 weeks to reach their maximum effectiveness. There are many different types of medications to treat depression. You will work with your doctor to find the medication that benefits you the most and has the least side effects.
Psychotherapy for depression consists of various types of counseling. These include cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) , interpersonal therapy, psychodynamic therapy, or a combination of these. Therapy is designed to help you cope with difficulties in relationships, change negative thinking and behavior patterns, and resolve difficult feelings.
Diet and Exercise
Research suggests that diets high in tryptophan and certain B vitamins may be helpful. There is also mixed evidence that omega-3 fatty acids may reduce symptoms.
If you want to take supplements or change your diet, talk to your doctor first.
The herb St. John's wort may be an effective alternative to standard medications with fewer side effects. However, St. John's wort may reduce the effectiveness of many drugs, such as antidepressants, birth control pills, blood thinners, and other medications. It is important that you talk to your doctor before trying any herb.
There is also some evidence that dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a hormone that is available as a dietary supplement, may help some people.
A regular exercise program has been shown to relieve some of the symptoms. It should play a large role in the overall management of depression.
ECT is the use of an electric stimulus to produce a generalized seizure. It may be used in people with severe or life-threatening depression. ECT is also used for people who cannot take or do not respond to medication. It is considered a safe and effective procedure.
VNS is used as therapy for depression when multiple trials of medication do not work. A pacemaker-like device stimulates the vagus nerve in the neck.
TMS involves the application of low-frequency magnetic pulses to the brain. The change in electrical field stimulates nerves. There are a number of studies that show the benefits of TMS for the treatment of depression. It may be used if you have not gotten better with medications and psychotherapy.

You've probably heard of lithium batteries catching fire in small devices like phones...Well, the discovery of a safe, nontoxic lithium-ion solar battery chemistry called LFP (technically lithium iron phosphate or LiFePO4) has brought a new standard to the deep cycle lithium battery market. With this safer (and maintenance-free) LFP battery chemistry and high-quality manufacturing from companies like SimpliPhi and Relion, lithium batteries are becoming widely adopted for off-grid energy storage. Yes, they're more expensive, but consider their benefits:
Aside from the initial cost, the major disadvantages of lithium solar batteries are the same as other batteries - low performance at freezing temperatures, and damage if operated above maximum or below minimum parameters. SimpliPhi has implemented a real-time equalization circuit - the weaker cells are dynamically cared for so they're not over-stressed. This in combination with the solid-state protection circuit makes for highly reliable and effective off-grid energy storage.

Valdosta, GA - Early voting in Florida doesn't start until Saturday, but in Georgia, voters have been flocking to the polls for almost two weeks.
One local county is expecting to hit a major milestone today.
The Lowndes Elections Board believes that over 10,000 people came to vote today, and some voters say they've been waiting until after the final presidential debate to vote.
Michelle Corbitt, Lowndes Voter, states, "I just wanted to make sure my vote was in. I was just listening to the debates and i didn't want to have to fight a huge crowd."
Michelle Corbitt feels strongly about who she wants to be president.
She's just one of many voters who say Monday night's debate got her fired up to vote.
Mary Lynn Hunt, Lowndes Voter, stated, "well I hope everybody will get out and vote. As long as they vote the way I want them to vote."
Susan Hennley, Election Official, said, "it's just everyone wants a say in who they elect as president and we've got a sheriff's race too that's bringing a lot of people out."
Wednesday was the ninth day of early voting in Georgia.
And the Lowndes elections board alone is averaging well over a thousand each day.

"yeah i just got a break from work so i just hurried up and got up here and got my vote in."
Michelle Corbitt: "it was really fast and really convenient and i'm glad we have this option that we can come early."
Election officials say this will cut the lines in half come election day.
But how bad's the wait now?
Susan Hennley: "it's not over five minutes if that long. We're taking them in. We're making their cards. And we're calling them back. It's just very, very quick."
Valdosta, GA - Jessica Cooke is voting for President Of The United States for the first time. She is 21 now, but last time she was too young at 17.
"When I turned 18 I was like, okay, I missed it by a year by I'm so excited now," said Jessica Cooke.
Jessica is not alone. In fact she was joined by a wave of voters of all ages in the first week of Early Voting in Georgia. At the Lowndes County Board Of Elections, they actually set an All-Time record for the first two days of Early Voting with 2,861.
"Presidential Elections always bring people out," said Deb Cox, Lowndes Elections Supervisor. "We have a lot of hotly contested races here in Lowndes County that might be contributing to it. All that I know is we have a very good turn out."
A turnout so good an extra person had to direct traffic. Inside, there were additional elections officials helping voters get signed in.
"The wait time is still only about 15 minutes, so everybody needs to come on in and vote," said Deb Cox.
And she reminds you that no matter who you vote for that every vote counts.
"I'm very excited. I feel like I'm about to make a difference. So I'm very excited," said Jessica Cooke.
Early Voting starts in Florida October 27th.

The Federal Research Public Works Act (FRPAA) of 2012, H.R. 4004, gained traction this week in the U.S. House of Representatives. Kicking off the week on Monday Rep. Mike Doyle (D-PA) held a Congressional briefing on the issue of public access to the results of taxpayer-funded research. Two experts presented on the topic, Dr. Neil Thakur from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Elliott Maxwell from the Committee for Economic Development, and Heather Joseph of the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) moderated the discussion. Additional information on the briefing is available here.
On Tuesday, FRPAA picked up a whopping 24 additional co-sponsors (yes, both democrats and republicans) — joining Rep. Mike Doyle (D- PA), Rep. Lacy Clay (D-MO) and Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-KS), the original co-sponsors who introduced the bill. Among the additional co-sponsors backing the bill was Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), who was presented with the 2012 James Madison Award by the American Library Association (ALA) during the annual Freedom of Information Day event held here in Washington, DC on March 16. Rep. Lofgren was recognized for her work on supporting a wide range of library-related issues, including open access and FRPAA legislation.
Then on Thursday the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space and Technology's Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight added to its schedule a hearing for March 29 that has been moved up to 9:30 a.m.
at 10:00 a.m. on Examining Public Access and Scholarly Publication Interests. Additional information about the upcoming hearing, including the list of witnesses and a link to the webcast, is available here.
The ALA has a strong history of support for FRPAA legislation — as it builds on the success of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy implemented in 2008. Passage of H.R. 4004 and its companion in the Senate, S. 2096, would be big step in the right direction by expanding the amount of research made available and proving access to it without additional charge to us, the taxpayers. Background on this legislation is available on the ALA website.

I currently use Sunbird, and I like it for the most part, but its support is being dropped and it doesn't integrate with Unity. I'm looking for a calendar or personal organizer program which would run in the background as an app in the Unity system tray, and notify me of upcoming events without having to be explicitly opened.
However, I would rather not have this tethered to a mail client. An easy transition for data from Sunbird would be a bonus. Suggestions?

"I would just like to thankyou and your staff for being absolutely superb today.We are so grateful for all your help and cannot thank you enough. You should be so proud of what you are achieving at Beversbrook." Paul King - Bradford Town Ladies Manager
"As the Chairman of the Junior Premier League and a Premier League Scout I have been to many grounds from Calne to Plymouth to London up to Corby, across the Midlands, through Wales and finally Gloucestershire. I have never found a better sports facility and this is why in our League (where the away teams rate your facilities) Beversbrook has come out CLEAR top for the past two seasons and already this season is way out in front." Martin Brock - Chairman - Junior Premier League
"For weeks I have been meaning to email you to say what a fantastic venue Beversbrook is for parties. We had our daughter's 4th birthday party there on Sunday 8th Sept and everything was perfect. Adam Witchell in particular was wonderful – so helpful, polite, friendly and willing. My daughter left two little toys in the ball pit and when I turned up the next day to look for them all the staff there were really helpful. We will definitely use the venue for future birthday parties."

Sony Ericsson delays X10 Android 2.1 update
We need a couple more weeks, OK?
Sony Ericsson has revised its roll-out schedule for Android 2.1 updates to its X10 smartphones.
The news is not good, but the delay might have been longer, we guess. According to the company, "we need a couple of more weeks before we are ready" to release the updates.
The update was originally planned for "late Q3" - about now, in other words - but it's not now going to appear until the end of October at the earliest. "It will take some additional weeks from end of October before all different kits have the new software available," said SE blogger Rikard Skogberg.
"What we mean by a 'kit' is a different configuration, ie. colour of the phone, bundled accessories but most importantly in this case different software configurations.
"The difference in software between different kits is mainly related to included languages, settings, applications etc – all this to comply with different legal and operator requirements."
So when you get the update will depend on the model you have, who you bought it from, which country you bought it and... er... what colour it is.
Here's what the release, when it comes, will bring:
Xperia X10
- HD video recording with continuous auto-focus for high quality videos
- Upgrade of the Android platform to Android 2.1
- New back up and restore application, with extended content back up
- 5 homescreens for apps, widgets, shortcuts and folders
- Social phonebook which automatically syncs contact pictures from Facebook and shows when your friends are online
Xperia X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro
- Improved Bluetooth functionality with support for sending and receiving pictures, contacts and more
- New backup and restore application with extended content back up
- Automatic synchronization of your contact pictures between Facebook and your phone book
- Improved ways of handling pictures, audio, text and numbers in your messages
- Upgrade of the Android platform to Android platform 2.1
SE first talked up the X10 Android 2.1 update way back in May, but at least had the foresight to say the firmware was some way away from release - in Q4, to be exact, which is when it will now arrive.
The company revised its timetable last month to bring the release forward. Clearly it was badly advised. ®
