I loveee this stuff!! It's like concealer for your eyes! I don't really like using concealer or foundation to cover the veins and discoloration because it doesn't necessarily prime your eye or make the shadows stay on longer. But this stuff cancels out the color, veins, etc. on my lids amazingly. If I decide not to wear eyeshadow or anything, I still put this on to make my eyes look bigger and make my whole face look fresh. It says it's a base, but I find that it helps my eyeshadow stay on long without creasing like a primer. LOVE! <3
One of the lucky ones
I don't have oily lids and the base matches my skintone, so it works well for me. I see it causes problems for other people, but I like it and use it often. So if you have oily eyelids, stay away, but if not, it does a good job.
Simply alright
This primer works well enough for a few hours but then creases later on. It is easy to apply with a finger and goes on smoothly. Eyeshadow goes on well, since I got the skin tone things don't pop too much. I only use this primer when I am trying out a new look and not going out. However, I am interested in trying the white.
Makes colors pop!
I really love this base, I always use it over my primer and the white makes the bright colors very vibrant. I also use it for details like lines and dots, which I can leave white, or go over with any color of eyeshadow. It works great and I have never had any problems with creasing or smudging.
Lovely stuff!
Long story short, I believe this primer is best for short-term photoshoots and concealer. So the white base really makes colors vibrant, but I found my shadows creased after around 4-5 hours on the lid. Now I have oily eyelids and my bicycle is my transportation, so my eye makeup goes through a lot of abuse each day. This primer may work extremely well for someone who has normal eyelids and doesn't work out while wearing makeup. What I've really been using and loving and why I will continue buying this primer is as a primer for concealer. Oh my goodness, it really brightens up the undereye area, prepares a smooth surface for concealer, and keeps concealer on forever.
great for pigment and daring applications
If you're looking to do crazy colorful makeup this white base really brings out the colors and helps them last. Plus if you want precision take an eyeliner brush and create whatever you would like. then add the color or colors you choose. they will be so bright and wonderful. I use this product on almost all my looks.
I have this in skin tone and white for the price they work well I would repurchase this agian easy to apply the packaging is ok I prefer a tube but it's cute and one can last you a while
Great for the price!
I love this product as a base under my eyeshadows. I don't have really oily eyelids so if you do I'm not really sure how this will work for you. Its inexpensive, helps your eyeshadows 'stick' and show up more vibrant. This product really smooths out your lid and prepares it for your makeup application. The only reason I would take off a star is that is is packaged in a jar instead of a squeeze tube and the 'skin tone' shade may not work for deeper or lighter skin tones. All in all its a great product and I would recommend trying it for the price unless you already have an eyeshadow primer that works for you.
A brightening eye primer that makes any eye colour pop!
I have been really keen to try one of the NYX Eyeshadow bases, as I knew they were a great base for any vibrant eyeshadow to apply over the top and are similar to the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils.
The packaging says it is 'For 100x brightening effect' and 'set's base camp for true stay on, stay put, long eye shadow colours!'
'Maximize the intensity, longevity and unashamed brilliance of your eye shadow statements with our eye shadow primer pots. Each of the three NYX Eye Shadow Bases for vibrant, pearl or neutral tones—creates a smooth canvas for colour, increases its durability and prevents fallout.'
Is how it is described on the NYX UK Website.
As eye primers go I am a big fan as they intensify the shadow colour, have longevity and they help grip the shadow well.
These come in White, White Pearl and Skin Tone.
This comes in a clear plastic pot with a white lid. It contains 7g's of product, whereas the Bobbi Brown Long -Wear Cream Shadow only has 3.5g of product. NYX Products are also hypoallergenic, cruelty free and recyclable.
This feels like a lightweight cream which is silky and smooth in texture and not heavy on the eye at all.
This covered the eye well and is buildable; it blends out with no build up or flaking on the eye.
I used a MAC 242 to apply the base, but you can also use your finger to apply and blend. I felt the product applied really well to the eye and when applying the eyeshadow on top, it adhered better than not using a base or primer at all, it made the shadow pop and showed it's true colour.
The longevity of the product was great, I had no creasing and my eyeshadow stayed in place all day still showing the shadow's true colour with no dullness.
This is a snip at only £5 such great value for such a large amount of product whereas Bobbi Brown Long -Wear Cream Shadow is £18 for half the product which essentially does the same job.
This is defiantly worth every penny as it has a light weight consistency and great staying power. It also helps maximise shadow pigment and is amazing value for money which makes this is a must have for any staple make-up bag! I would love to see NYX come out with a selection of Coloured Eyeshadow Bases next.
I award this product 4.5 out of 5.

I just accepted for your friend request. I'll send you a message with more info. :-)
Hi, my son who's 12 is infatuated with minecraft. He started playing a couple of months ago and loves creating worlds and building structures. He has been asking me to help him connect to a server to play in the multiplayer mode but, despite my google searches, I can't understand how to connect him to one. He'd be very excited and happy to be invited to one.
Great, I sent you a private message with a little more info. If you send his or your email address to us my kids will reply with all of the information he needs to join them. :-)
My son (8) is just getting into Minecraft. Can you send us info on how to do multi-player games?
Hi Talia,

Hi Buddy I live in NZ and have two kids who love Minecraft (10 and almost 8)
They are super keen to play on a server with other kids.

Message sent. I'm excited that so many people are interested in joining. The kids are having a blast. :-)
yes, you've got a good group going here. Jason really enjoys chatting with the kids and playing with them on the server.
My boys are Minecrafters and even have me playing it on the Xbox lol. They are 9 and 12 so should get on well with your kids :) They do a lot of talking on Skype while playing as well.

2. | birthday | ||
a day to celebrate that you havent died in in the last year "its my birthday!"
"Whoopdy fucking doo" |
3. | Birthday | ||
The celebration of the occasion of which you exited a vagina. Not to be confused with sex. My birthday is in July. (Never had sex in July though)
4. | birthday | ||
Birthdays mean different things to men and women.
Men - A day when you go out to a bar and have your friends buy you drinks. If you have a girlfriend she'll probably put out, if not then picking up some chick at the bar is a high priority. You are now 1 year older and can still pick up young girls, congratulations you've aged with sophistication. The older you are the more likely these young girls will believe that you've got money to take care of them. It's important to remember not to get attached to these young girls. You don't want to end up married do you? Compare your hair loss to the previous year, is the Rogaine working? Probably not. Women - A day when you go out to a bar and have your friends buy you drinks. If you have a boyfriend he'll probably go down on you, if not then it's important to spend a large portion of the day thinking about why you don't have a boyfriend and if you'll ever get married. Sure Tom was an alcoholic who beat you on daily occasions, but you don't want to end up alone do you? When out with your friends it's important to remember what age you really are compared to five year spread you've been lying to people about. You're not turning 33, you're turning 29. There seems to be less guys looking in your general direction at the bar this year compared to last year's birthday, time to contemplate botox. Compare your amount of cellulite to last year's amount. Are those pilate workouts helping? Probably not. |

FDA Bans BPA From Baby Bottles and Sippy Cups
Finally, after years of scrutiny from scientists, BPA (bisphenol-A) has been banned officially. From baby bottles and sippy cups only. It's a step in the right direction. It's an important step in what will hopefully be the continued removal from everything.
There's just little impact, as most manufacturers of these products have already stopped using the chemical because of safety concerns. So officially banned from baby products, but you'll still find it in your household pantry more then likely.
The FDA is still allowing the chemical to be used in food storage products, things like canned food and water bottles, some of the most used items in a household are still at risk of leaching the chemical to consumers.
I first read about the FDA ban HERE.
Have you been avoiding BPA in your home? What products and brands can you recommend as BPA-free?

Tori Spelling tweeted this photo of herself stranded with kids Liam, 5, Stella, 4, Hattie, 1, and infant Finn on Wednesday. (Tori Spelling / Twitter / February 6, 2013) |
Tori Spelling stranded on the side of the road? Does a mother of four even have time to get stranded on the side of the road?
Apparently, the answer is yes.
"4 kids. 1 dog. 1 car leaking gas broken down on the side of the road= not a great road trip," Spelling posted to Twitter on Wednesday, along with the above photo of herself with kids Liam, 5, Stella, 4, and Hattie, 1, arm around new baby Finn, who was born in August.
Oh, and don't forget the dog.
It's not clear if hubby Dean McDermott was along for the ride, so we're not sure who took this classic photo of a frustrating family moment. Even little Stella was mimicking Mommy's "I've had it" vibe. Funny, she actually looked happier during her trip to the dentist with Liam and Dad earlier in the week.
Never fear, it could have been worse. The family actually has two dogs.
What's Tori Spelling's kid doing? And do we need to know?

Sourcebooks Launches the Shakesperience |
We're at an epic point in the history of the book. Ebooks, reading devices, retailers and e-tailers, software and apps, and all the cool things we haven't even imagined yet are changing the face of reading, entertainment and learning. Sourcebooks Next is our blog looking not from the perspective of pundit or prognosticator, but from the perspective of a publisher deeply engaged in the workings of the transformation. |
"User interface." It's not usually where you start talking about Shakespeare. But it's where this story starts. To date we have typically taught and learned Shakespeare, whether in high school or in college, from a book. If you ask students about this experience, they use words like "difficult" and "boring." And if you watch them actually trying to learn that way, you recognize the problem. The way the book is set up actually interrupts their "flow"—it gets in the way of their immersion. So with all these inherent challenges, we asked can we use technology to make reading Shakespeare easier? We've been working with students, teachers and readers on this very question and are pleased to announce the launch of Shakesperience: A hands-on experience with Shakespeare—built to help you more quickly get into and stay in the play. This in an entirely new experience, one that was built from the user's point of view. |

(WEB EXCLUSIVE) One season at a time: Lady Broncos lay groundwork in Vaughn's first year
By Richard C. White,
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 5:05 PM CST
The McKinney Boyd Lady Broncos may not have ended their basketball season with a postseason berth, but they were able to keep themselves in the playoff hunt until the season's final game.
"We didn't win as many games as we would like, but we still had a chance right up until the end to make the playoffs," said Rochelle Vaughn, Boyd head coach. "If we won any of our last three district games, we're in the playoffs and who knows what could happen then."
Boyd finished the year 11-20 in Vaughn's first season as the Lady Broncos head coach. Vaughn understands instant success is difficult whenever any program transitions to a new coaching staff, as a learning curve is to be expected.
"This was a good building block in my first season here at McKinney Boyd," she said. "That's a testament to the girls and our coaching staff. The coaching staff was new, so the girls had to learn on the fly."
Still, Vaughn is aware things must change next year if the Lady Broncos don't want miss out on another postseason.
"We have to keep getting better," she said. "I think we have to get stronger physically and we have to get better fundamentally, as far as making layups and not committing as many turnovers."
Boyd is losing six seniors to graduation. Chief among them are starters Julia Hendrieth and Micaela Gonzalez. Both girls will play basketball at the college level.
Hendrieth will play for Dillard University.
"Julia is a first-team all-district-caliber player and that's a testament to the season she's had," Vaughn said. "She averaged a double-double in points and rebounds every game. She was our engine. She was very an active, high-energy player."
While Hendrieth is at Dillard, Gonzalez will be playing for the University of Texas at Tyler.
"Micaela was by far the heart and soul of our team," Vaughn said. "She did all the little things you don't see on the stat sheet. She would always make the smart play."
While Vaughn will miss her seniors, she's excited about the potential she sees in next year's team.
"Our seniors will be missed, but I love the group of girls we have coming back," she said. "We're returning seven varsity players with some experience, so it should be interesting to see who steps up."
Among those returning whom Vaughn expects great things from is junior Haley Carruthers.
"I think it's important for us to have Hailey step into that position," she said. "She did a little bit of everything for us this season. She has to have a great senior year for us to be successful and I expect her to do just that."
Sophomore Jordan Brightwell is another player whom Vaughn anticipates will be a driving force on next year's squad.
"Jordan did a great job rebounding for us and being the front of our press," she said. "It's going to be great to see how she continues to improve over the summer."
While Boyd's record may indicate a subpar season, the Lady Broncos lost several games by single digits, due in large part to trying to overcome sluggish starts.
"We gave ourselves a chance to win a lot of games, but at times we turned it on too late," Vaughn said. "That's the story of our season, putting it all together just a little too late into the games."
Among the promise Vaughn sees for next season is her own ability to improve as a coach. Vaughn said she learned a lot about her own coaching style this past year, lessons she hopes will fuse with the lessons her players learned as they begin to build a strong program at Boyd.
"The biggest thing I learned is you can't get frustrated," she said. "It's a process. I tell the girls that all the time and I have to remember that myself; that it's not going to happen overnight. I understand it takes awhile. Everyone kept telling me it's going to take three or four years, but I wanted it to happen this year. It didn't, but we did show a lot of growth and I'm excited about next season."

What sold us: it holds a ton but doesn't feel like it, and you can access everything while wearing the bag. Plus, it's a really good deal! The wide, strategically-padded messenger strap is comfortable to wear, and its multiple inner and outer compartments keep supplies easily organized. Includes stroller strap and padded changing pad. Imported.
This is a drop ship item, shipped directly from the manufacturer. Please see the "Shipping" tab for more information.

does gaming on a widescreen really put that much more strain on your computer? My laptop has a widescreen, but from what I can tell it just stretches everything left to right so all the images look kinda squashed.
I'm waiting just a little while before getting one as some really cool fully HDCP monitors will be released in late August or early September that are in the same price range as the Dell.
The Dell is only HDCP compatible at 780p and not 1080p so waiting will hopefully give me both for about the same price.Last edited by Miles; 12-06-2006 at 06:26 PM.

This one caught my eye the other week when I made it to town for my VA visit........... The wife says it had the best picture quality of all the wide screen displays in the store.................. She's a professional photo printer by trade.......... So she knows a thing or 2 about picture quality I think.

I went and saw them again at one of our local BB stores and talked to the folks at length about them.......... On my next trip to town I'm bringing the Monster Rig with me to demo the screen in the store to see how well I like it.

Are you serious?? They will let you do that? I assume using the display model then?? I'd like to watch the looks on everyone's faces when you show up hauling that Big Rig in tow...
08-05-2006, 04:53 AM #38Bio-Hazard Guest
Yah, it's the display model.............
All you have to do is make a big enough stink in front of all the other customers telling them all about the ups and downs of differant LCD's with color banding, dead pixels and backlight bleeding through, they'll let you do anything you want to get you to shut-up.
Actually, the one guy I ended up talking too (manager) was also a review writer for a small web site, I did reconize it but he said he nows my main screen name and my Monster Rig from the web. It's a small world after all......
The main reason I want to do this is because all the displays in mose stores are connected to a big splitter and the LCD's all run at 1024x768 regardless of screen size, so there's no way you can really tell just how good or bad they really are unless you run them alone at their native rez and the guy agreed with me 100%Last edited by Bio-Hazard; 08-05-2006 at 05:00 AM.
They don't have display computers to try the monitor on?
08-05-2006, 05:11 AM #40Bio-Hazard Guest
I suppose you could do that, but there's not a whole lot of stock retail systems at places like BB and the like that will push a 22 inch wide screen. And there's even less that have the games I play installed to check for ghosting and image quality.......... And lets not forget that most all OEM systems do not have a DVI out, onboard video and 15 pin sub D is about what you get.

WASHINGTON -- Stuart Stevens, the chief strategist of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, has opened up about Romney's loss at the polls, and where he places the blame for the campaign's defeat.
Stevens, whose role within the campaign came under increasing scrutiny as the year went on, said in a Washington Post column Wednesday that in spite of Romney's loss, he and his ideals "carried the day."
"On Nov. 6, that wasn't enough to win. But it was enough to make us proud and to build on for the future," Stevens said.
Appearing on "CBS This Morning" on Thursday, Stevens highlighted two key weaknesses that, if given the chance, he would go back and fix.
"I think we should have done a better job reaching out to women voters -- the governor has a great record on women's issues. We should have done a better job articulating that record," he said. "We should have done a better job reaching out to Hispanic voters. We should have done it earlier and in a more effective way."
Stevens also defended Romney's widely criticized post-Election Day accusation that Obama won over supporters with various "gifts."
"I think he [Romney] was saying that there was an effort that the incumbent used as many other incumbents have used to reach out to constituents," Stevens said. "They had certain groups that they wanted to do well with and they did well with."
Portraying Romney as the outsider candidate throughout the Republican primary and general campaign, Stevens claimed in his column that "nobody liked Romney except voters."
"I appreciate that Mitt Romney was never a favorite of D.C.'s green-room crowd, or, frankly, of many politicians. That's why, a year ago, so few of those people thought that he would win the Republican nomination," Stevens claimed.
As for his victorious opponents, Stevens offered backhanded praise on CBS to the Obama team for reversing an alleged Democratic Party problem of "being too liberal and too dependent on minorities."
PHOTOS: Mitt Romney's campaign gaffes
"Obama turned those problems into advantages and rode that strategy to victory," Stevens said. "But he was a charismatic African American president with a billion dollars, no primary and media that often felt morally conflicted about being critical. How easy is that to replace?"
Stevens also deemed the praise surrounding the Obama campaign's ground game as "baffling."
"I would give them more credit for their message in those states rather than just their ground game," Stevens said. "It think it's somewhat underselling what the Obama campaign did in their messaging capability to say it was just their ground game."
And as for moving forward, Stevens urged Republicans to move on, content that they had "won the day" if not the election, and presumably also not placing some of the blame for Romney's defeat at the feet of his chief strategist.
"Losing is just losing," Stevens wrote. "It's not a mandate to throw out every idea that the candidate championed, and I would hope it's not seen as an excuse to show disrespect for a good man who fought hard for values we admire."

MADISON, WISCONSIN (May 27, 2009)
Evotec recently completed its largest screening project with the use of Promega HaloTag® technology. Evotec reported screening over 250,000 unique compounds on live cells with an assay designed to detect the internalization of a novel membrane receptor. The results identified compounds that have potential to be first in class for the therapeutic area.
After extensive testing, Evotec reported that HaloTag delivered the strongest performance compared to other technologies. In contrast to other fluorescent proteins, the proteins fused with HaloTag do not fluoresce until the HaloTag binds a fluorescent ligand. HaloTag allowed Evotec scientists to specifically label receptors with low background levels and increased sensitivity compared to other technologies.
The screen was conducted with a throughput of over 10,000 compounds per day on a confocal plate imager, using a stably transfected cell line. After labeling the surface pool of receptors, compounds were screened for their ability to inhibit receptor internalization, "We are pleased to be able to provide our customers with such rich information, so quickly," says Mark Slack, Senior Scientist at Evotec. "It is advanced technologies like HaloTag that continue to expand our capabilities and service to our pharmaceutical and biotech partners."
Cell surface receptors are frequently targeted for new drug compounds, and their localization in the cell often governs their cellular activity. Promega has specifically developed ligands for HaloTag of differing colors; some that do not enter the cell on their own along with ligands that do passively enter the cell. Using these tools, scientists can label different pools of HaloTag proteins- those inside and those on the cell surface.

IATS XIII Announcement

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

July 21-27, 2013

 The Mongolian Academy of Sciences (MAS) in association with the Mongolian National University is very honoured to host the 13th Seminar of the International Association for Tibetan Studies (IATS) in Ulaanbaatar from Sunday 21st July to Saturday 27th July 2013. The joint convenors will be Dr S. Chuluun (Institute of History, MAS), Dr U. Bulag (University of Cambridge), and Dr Ulrike Roesler (University of Oxford). It is with great pleasure that we now extend this invitation for proposals for papers and panels.

The convenors will work with a number of co-sponsors in Mongolia including the Centre of Mongolian Buddhists, the National Library, the National Museum of Mongolian History, the National Archives, and others. The meeting will be held in the premises of the National University of Mongolia.

We will be pleased to cover the costs of infrastructure, conference lunches, two evening events with dinner, and transportation within Mongolia for all international participants, but regret that under the present economic situation we will be unable to offer funding for international travel and accommodation. Although we will of course try to secure further financial backing from other bodies, we urge you to make every effort to obtain independent funding.

Accommodation: There are various types of accommodation available in Ulaanbaatar, ranging from hotel rooms to student dormitories. We will negotiate very reasonable rates for members of IATS. An online booking service will be available from June 2012.

Registration fee: USD $250

An online registration system will be available shortly: information about the website will be circulated in due course.

Please note that the convenors, the president, and the secretary general of IATS, in consultation with the advisory board, would like to call the following points to the attention of all prospective participants:

1. Participants are generally required to present a paper. Papers will be subjected to a time limit of 20 minutes and may be presented in any of the four working languages of the IATS: English, Tibetan, French, and German. Exceptionally, a certain number of presentations in Mongolian will also be accepted on this occasion.

2. If you are proposing a panel, roundtable panel or workshop, you must submit a brief description (less than one page) by 1 October 2012.

3. Participants should not present papers that have been read at other conferences or published elsewhere. All papers should present the results of original research and should not simply be a restatement of material and data already available elsewhere in secondary literature. Papers should be based on the use of primary sources (written or oral) in original languages or should otherwise provide a substantial advance in the field of Tibetology.

4. All participants are required to submit an abstract of their papers.

a) Students attending an IATS seminar for the first time are asked to provide one letter of recommendation from a suitable faculty member at their institution and to submit a short curriculum vitae, listing publications and work.

b) All participants who will be attending for the first time or whose first IATS conference was the 12th seminar held at the University of British Columbia, including students, are also asked to submit a one-and-a-half-page abstract of their paper by 1 January 2013. This also applies to participants in roundtable panels or workshops.

c) All others are asked to send in a brief abstract (less than one page) by the same date.

d) All abstracts will be screened and papers may not be accepted if they are deemed not to conform to international standards of academic work.

e) Independent scholars are encouraged to submit papers.

5. Those who wish to attend only as observers, such as students, should submit a description of approximately one-and-a-half-pages of the current state of their work and research interests as well as a letter of recommendation from their academic institution by 1 January 2013. This also applies to independent scholars who may submit a letter of recommendation from an established Tibetologist.

6. Participants may organize round table panels or workshops on specific subjects, but it is their responsibility to contact others whom they would like to include and to keep the organizers informed about such plans. Those participating in a round table discussion should note that they cannot also present a paper in another session of the conference as well.

7. If you intend to participate in the 13th IATS seminar, please fill in your application and abstracts by 1 January 2013. Notice of acceptance/rejection will be sent by late February 2013.

8. If you are accepted as a participant in the 13th IATS seminar, it is absolutely necessary that your registration fee is received by 31 March 2013. We have to pay the seminar expenses in advance, well ahead of the actual event!

9. All participants are requested to organize their own visas and travel insurance. The Mongolian Academy of Sciences will not be responsible for any of these issues. Letters of invitation for visas will be provided if requested.

The deadline for the submission of abstracts is 1 January 2013. Acceptance of applications will take the form of a letter of invitation that will enable you to obtain a visa for Mongolia.

However, we realise that in the case of applicants from certain countries, a letter of acceptance from the IATS may be required in order for you to obtain a passport, in which case the 1 January deadline may not give you adequate time.

For applicants who are in this situation, we suggest that you submit your application and abstract by 1 October 2012, and if the review is favourable, you will be sent a letter of acceptance in November 2012.

The website for the 13th Seminar is at http://www.iats.info/the-thirteenth-seminar-of-the-iats-%E2%80%93-ulaanbaatar-2013/. For general information about the IATS, visit http://www.iats.info/

Great dress
This is a fabulous dress. The fabric is very comfortable and wrinkle resistant. I would say it runs a bit large. I am fairly small but quite curvy and the petite small fits very well. Also, in the picture it looks like the dress has a lining or inset at the crossover at the bust. It does not, which makes the dress very low cut. I will have to wear a camisole or slip with it, which I am fine doing but just FYI. LOVE the dress.
Mary j
I wrote the previous review that says there is no lining inset. I stand corrected. THERE IS AN INSET AT THE CHEST. It is attached at the side and shoulder but not the waist so the first few times I wore it, the lining slipped behind me and was against my back and I didn't even know it was there. I cut mine out and wear my own cami, but there is a lining inset at the chest. Still LOVE the dress.

Perfect in Pink
Great little dress! I'm 5'1" @ 108lbs and the fit is perfect, including length (right at kneww- perfect for work/church/special occasion). The materialis light-weight, soft and wrinkle resistant -- great for small to average frame woman. If you're large frame then the material would not be right for you. Very happy with the product. I've washed and dried it to test and it came through just fine except that the knot in front takes forever to dry (didn't want to keep it in the dryer too long so air dried the know and it took 24hrs... no big deal unless you're in a rush!)

Salt Lake City Sun
Salt Lake City Sun – Salt Lake City News, Business & FinanceThe Salt Lake City Sun is essentially a local Salt Lake City newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Salt Lake City, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Salt Lake City, Utah, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Salt Lake City Sun.

Today's intercourse with First Things First (FTF) was both revealing while also providing great entertainment value. FTF reminded me of akirk of times past here on the OP Forum.
First, FTF tells us that he has been in and out of the rooms for years. Yet in the same sentence he tells us that he has never seen any of the horror stories that are discussed here on the Forum, or the horror stories in the letters Orange receives. How can he say with any certainty that these horrific actions have not occurred if he is not in the roomz of AA? He can't!
Second, right off the bat he admits that AA/12 steps have not worked for him. We all know that the AA/12 steps program has relapses built into the program. So in a sense FTF has worked the AA/12 steps program in that he has successfully relapsed. Not once folks, but numerous times, by his own admission.
Third, FTF tells us that AA/12 steps is a self-help program that. Ok, so god is not involved in the AA/12 step program? I thought god was involved somewhere. I think god is mentioned throughout the 12 steps. I could be wrong.
Fourth, FTF tells us that yes, there are bad AA meetings, and the old-timers know to avoid them? So there are bad meetings FTF? Why does FTF say there are bad meetings? Bad how?
Fifth, FTF shares a huge insight with the OP Forum. The key feature to AA to AA is a "desire to quit drinking". What about admitting that one is powerless? Sounds like a key to me. What about admitting that you are insane? Another big key, that. And, you must turn your life over to god? BIG KEY! HUGE KEY!
Sixth, FTF plays the "what was your part" card. Yep. This self-help program gets a "get off the hook" card by almost every AA member, trying to make the argument that shit happens in the real world. Pull up your bootstraps and work the program. FTF drips with compassion for the suffering drunk.
Seventh, the FTF tells us to not forget that the people in the roomz, the old-timers, the big bills and the little bills, these people are/were all drunks. These people in the roomz are not professionals or doctors or therapists. Don't forget that he says! Sounds like a warning to me. FTF is one hell of a marketer.
Eight, FTF then shares his frustration with us; FTF can't understand how these people can cry about how they were treated in AA when they are the ones that made a bad judgment call. Perhaps making the decision to attend AA/12 steps was a bad judgment call?
Nine, FTF tells us that Bill W was an asshole. Plain & simple. Bill W was a self-centered, manipulative adulterer that lied continuously. Ok, we all agree on that one. Oh, FTF tells us not to judge a book by its cover. LOL!
Ten, FTF reminds us that AA is a self-help program and then tells that at the heart of the thing, the intent is spiritual, not religious. FTF tells us that bonding with other drunks and the spiritual communing (with god) is what provides mental relief and release in order to combat "alcoholism"? So other drunks and god help with the AA self-help program of combating drinking. What happened to the heart being "a desire to quit drinking" How many hearts are there?
Eleven, FTF then plays one the old standbys as to why AA/12 steps has such a low success rate (3-5%). If AA didn't work for you, then you didn't really work the program. It is not the fault of the program, it is YOU.
Twelve, FTF tells us that AA people come and go. He WANTS us to believe him. AA'ers COME AND GO. Hell, each AA meeting seems to have a darned revolving door FTF tells us. Then, in the very next sentence, FTF tells us that AA does work. WTF! Yes, AA does work, for 3-5% of the substance abuse population.
So, if you want what FTF has…………………..
The 12 Steps of the Alcoholics Anonymous Recruiter are very well written and does identify the tactics rather well. Good job!
"Tradition 10 - Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy." Please follow orders from the Interchurch Center if you are an AA member and don't comment.
I have a tendency to believe what people say on the forum even though much of it is untrue.
Still I try on the chance that they are sincere or they may read something that rings true.
As for your post, I agree, the exchange was entertaining.
Plus, we did get to talk about alternatives, and were visited by orange.
What struck me about his post was that he said:
"And all of these people were/are drunks. Don't forget that! They're not necessarily spiritual leaders, or counselors, or doctors, ad infinitum. Use some common sense when divulging to or trusting a drunk. FOR PETE'S SAKE! I don't understand how people cry after they themselves made a bad judgement call."
Then he said:
"At the heart of this thing is the intent of a spiritual experience (not religious), bonding with other drunks for sharing, and using these two sovereignties as a means of mental relief and release in order combat alcoholism. "
So, in order to achieve and maintain sobriety you have to share detailed personal information with other drunks, but when it all goes horribly wrong after someone trusts an AA guru, it's not the fault of the program that told people to share their sensitive information, it's always the fault of the victim.
Just the usual blame, blame, blame the victim, never ever look at the culprit.
Troll free AA critical forum
"The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it." ~ Neil deGrasse Tyson
Victim? Anyone who is attending AA meetings of his own free will is not a victim of anything. All this "blame the victim" nonsense is the convenient default you fall back on when no other argument seems to fit. How is he blaming "the victim" when there is no "victim"?
"The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks."
― Christopher Hitchens, Letters to a Young Contrarian

Danny is currently "Rachel" - watch out folks, he's learned how to use a spell checker...lol
The Problem with Alcoholics Anonymous Funeral Crashers - the lowest of lows - http://orange-papers.org/forum/node/1354
"Tradition 10 - Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy." Please follow orders from the Interchurch Center if you are an AA member and don't comment.
How can you say that it works?
AA is a religious cult dressed up to look like a treatment for alcoholism.
How can you say it works?
AA is a religious cult dressed up to look like a treatment for alcoholism.
Out of that 3-5% many lie about their success rate so they aren't ostracized by the cult and some end up dead and as martyrs for the cult. it's only common sense. Don't be fooled by slogans and propaganda from oldtimers.
"Tradition 10 - Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy." Please follow orders from the Interchurch Center if you are an AA member and don't comment.
Once again, AA does not work to help alcoholics overcome their addiction any better than no treatment. The "key" to long-term sobriety is not to drink alcohol for a long time. Why do you go on and on about what AA is or isn't? It does not matter. If you don't drink, you have the "solution".
FTF. I'm not sure if this will help, but this video woke me up. It's in no way 12 step or alcohol related, but it hit me like a sledgehammer and what James Randi says at 7m57s is very profound. It led me to search for this site. I also think Orange could use this in the " Papers".

I currently have a Greenway (Sanitizer) system which has CR-100 zeolite and KDF-85
in a 10x54 tank with a Clack valve.
I'm now back to the original problem which is .....If I open a tap, the water has NO smell for 40 ounces than I get a smell for the next 40 ounces
and than OK for as long as I draw water. And this scenario repeats itself very constantly.
Somehow these media works, otherwise I would get a constant smell just like before I added the KDF ????
No slime in toilet tank.
I'd like to get and understand the origin of the smell....before I get to any modification.
What do you mean back to the original problem?
What does the odor smell like?
Is it in the cold water, hot water or both?
Are you on your own well or city water?
Click Here to learn how to correctly size or program a water softener.
The rinse time of the softener could be a bit too short and running it a couple minutes longer might help; if yours is adjustable.
You can sanitize the softener with a 1/3 cup of non scented regular bleach and see if that stops the odor. Otherwise you could have a broken bladder in the pressure tank or bacteria growth in the plumbing past the softener.
Click Here to learn how to correctly size or program a water softener.
In order for KDF 85 to be effective, a certain quantity should be used, and the backwash rates of the system must be followed. If you are combining medias, it is unlikely that you are backwashing the media at the proper rate for KDF 85 to be effective. How many pounds did you put in? Check out this link, it has the tank diameter, qty, and backwash rates spelled out. The frequency is also important. When KDF is added to systems improperly, it is usually ineffective, and is done purely for marketing reasons. My own system has a large KDF tank, but it is done in the right size tank, the right amount, and it is backwashed properly, except for the frequency. I have been testing KDF for over 15 years, and I feel I am fairly good with using it. We sell 10's of thousands of pounds a year all over the world, unfortunately, the majority of it is misapplied. A small residential application should have approximately 57 pounds of KDF. Smaller amounts can be used depending on the contaminant removal and system design.
Try walking up to some strange lady and saying "Where is the smell coming from??????"
In here, perfectly acceptable.
The Sanitizer does not chlorinate the water though. It at best is supposed to keep the resin bed from bacteria colonization. In other words it does not treat your water in any way.
That 4 minutes was way to short and the 8 minutes could be a couple minutes too short but try it and see how things go.

Then increase it a few more minutes.... and see what it does.

Recent FIS NewsBelow you will find a listing of recent FIS News Find your newsExcellent Alpine Worlds close in GAP After thirteen days of top level sports action and excitement filling the tribunes and the city center alike, the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2011 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen closed on Sunday, 20th February. New stars were born during the eleven competitions, whilst some long-established champions achieved the crowning of their careers and others saw their shine dim. Altogether, eleven nations won medals as Austria returned to the top of the medals table with eight medals of which, thanks to its strong ladies team, four were golden. Behind Austria, France claimed 2nd place with four medals (2 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze) ahead of Italy whose strong men's team featured the only triple medalist at GAP 2011, Christof Innerhofer, who captured one medal of each color. The ladies queen of GAP 2011 was the speed double world champion Elisabeth Görgl who won downhill and super-G. In closing, FIS President Gian Franco Kasper highlighted the excellently organized championships and especially noted the unique spectator atmosphere. Some 130'000 spectators attended the 11 competitions and the official opening ceremony; whilst 50'000 visited the World Championship Park to create a wonderful atmosphere for the evening ceremonies. "I have tried to find critical points but could not find them", praised President Kasper. "Excellent work was done during the last five years, every detail was perfectly organized. Spectators were great, in attendance from A to Z and supporting the competitors from all nations, which could not be taken for granted." The immaculate German planning not only extended to the competitions but also to the weather. Punctually 10 minutes after the official closing ceremony, the snowfall began and there is now again a beautiful white blanket of snow covering the resort of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. "The `Festival in the Snow´ was a success from both national and local points of view," stated President of the German Ski Association and FIS Council Member Alfons Hörmann. "Our goal was to promote the national rebirth of Alpine Skiing in Germany. GAP 2011 was an important step on this road. The "Festival in the Snow," underlined Hörmann, "was not only a poster slogan, but an objective which came to be filled with life". Managing director Peter Fischer announced the official spectator numbers: "Our total budget for tickets was exceeded by ten per cent and additionally there were 50'000 visitors at the Championship Park. This proves that Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the region are worthy organizers of FIS World Championships." Fischer added: "The feared traffic chaos was avoided; most visitors used the free of charge transport. There were few logistical problems and no problems with the traffic." Fischer also drew also a very personal balance: "For me the World Ski Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen are a dream fulfilled. I am personally very satisfied and very thankful to my whole team and would particularly like to express sincere thanks to the 1300 volunteers."

While I intend to do SOME more girlie images, humans aren't really my forte. I'm much more at home with monsters, prehistoric creatures, or even toon animals than with creating image sof people. People are HARD - partly because we see them every day. So for still images I tend to go with somewhat stylised, and often somewhat fansastical.
While I don't have any game-specific critters to hand, and don't see me having the time to model new creatures to look like game characters (or even to rip the 3D models from games to use as figures) I hope this image will give you an idea of the KIND of characters I am likely to put in a scene.
If anyone fancies donating a .OBJ format version of a Pandora 3D model, please - feel free!
EDIT FOR PS - As a way of keeping track, I intend to keep THIS post updated with the current, possibly useable "final" version of images. Like this...
A girl called "pandora":
"pandora" playing with her (or her BF's?) pandora handheld gaming console...
and a larger version:
Then, a U rated version!
and its larger version:
This one's quite simply "Dragon 1" as there is every likelyhood that there will be a number of dragon images and I couldn't think up a more interesting name
This is a new, brighter version for clarity - though not TOO clear I hope, as it's not meant to be easy to study the detail
Pickled Brain:
The Girl With The Pandora Tatt:
and a huge version:
Night At The Aquarium - newer, brighter, postworked version!:
Works In Progress (a less frequently updated section of this post containing planned or semi-planned images and notes/ideas)
All I Want For Christmas
Larger version:
DEATH NEEDS A HOBBY: Two Weeks after Delivery
and as originally intended - sans Pandora-logo eyes:

Still waiting for FOID card renewal
Updated: November 26, 2012
On the state's website, it says you should hear back within 30 days of receiving your application. But some people have been waiting a lot longer than that.
"They're making a criminal out of me," said Brian Henry.
Henry said he hasn't done anything wrong. He said he sent his FOID card renewal in August.
"I still don't have it," said Henry. "Two and a half weeks ago, I had a state police officer run my card to see if it's been processed yet and I just haven't received it. It hasn't even been processed yet."
To add insult to injury, Henry said no one from the Illinois State Police will return his calls or emails.
"I don't know where the problem is but I can't get a hold of anybody to tell me what to do," said Henry.
He's been hunting since he was a child but now he technically can't shoot a gun, buy ammunition or even have a firearm in his car. Henry said he was able to talk with his state representative, Chad Hays. Hays said his office has taken complaints about FOID card renewals. He said the state has processed more than 278,000 FOID applications so far this year. But Henry said that's no excuse.
"I did my part as a law-abiding citizen to stay legal," said Henry. "Now do your part."
A spokesperson from the state police patrol division said FOID employees are working as quickly as they can and people just need to be patient.
