Release Date:
June 21, 2005
There have been plenty of Culture Club collections over the years, but 2005's Greatest Hits is the first since 1993's At Worst...The Best of Boy George and Culture Club to be assembled with any thought or care. The rest have been cheap budget-line collections, but they did all serve up the big hits -- "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,""Time (Clock of the Heart),""I'll Tumble 4 Ya,""Church of the Poison Mind,""Karma Chameleon,""Miss Me Blind,""It's a Miracle" -- even if sometimes that's all they served up. Greatest Hits digs deeper (even if it doesn't include the Boy George solo hits on At Worst; it also doesn't have the Malcolm McLaren intro that mars the beginning of "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" on that disc), but the question for most listeners will be: do I need to dig deeper than the biggest hits? Most listeners will be happy with that aforementioned seven and find any disc that runs ten songs longer, as this does, to be kind of tiresome, even if it includes the gloriously silly "The War Song," which is the goofiest protest single ever. That said, those who do want a good 17-song cross-section of the band's entire career will be very happy with this, since it has all the singles in good sound -- even if it's unlikely that most listeners will listen to this much past track eight or ten (the latter is "Black Money," one of the rare first-rate Culture Club album tracks). ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

The 36-year-old midfielder is a free agent after Milan allowed his contract to expire this month.
"There is no news over the last few days, so we'll have to wait and see what happens next week," Moreno Roggi told Radio Blu.
"The player already expressed his preference for Fiorentina, now the club must decide whether there's space for him in the squad.
"We're waiting to know if Fiorentina think Ambrosini would be of use to them or not."
He also had offers from West Ham United and the MLS, but would prefer to stay in Italy with the Viola after 18 years in a Milan jersey.

Skip to comments.Some companies dont want to wait for lightning to strike
Posted on 03/18/2013 5:52:09 AM PDT by thackney
Back in Ben Franklins day, no one worried about lightning causing a chemical tank to explode or shutting down the electronic controls to a nuclear reactor.
Technology has raised the stakes since Franklin invented the lightning rod lightning-sparked fires caused more than $1 billion in insured homeowners losses in 2010 alone, according to the Insurance Information Institute.
The costs can be even higher for the oil and gas industry; a 2006 study published in the Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries found lightning strikes are the most common cause of accidents involving storage tanks at refineries and petrochemical plants.
For the guys whove been around for 30 or 40 years, its not if, its when theyre going to get hit, said Matt Jones, project manager for Ashley Automation & Technology, an industrial electrical firm that works mostly in the oil fields. And while lightning is hardly the only risk for oil and gas production and other facilities, its a big one, said David Miller, director of standards for the American Petroleum Institute.
The fact that the institute first issued standards for protecting facilities against lightning in 1953 and has updated them seven times since then is evidence of the concern, Miller said.
Strikes in Houston
In the lower 48 states, the risk is highest in Florida and lowest along the West Coast. The Houston area receives more lightning strikes than anywhere else in Texas, according to Richard Orville, a Texas A&M professor who established the National Lightning Detection Network.
The lightning rod is still the most commonly used protection around the world, updated with modern materials but still based on Franklins design from the 1700s. Jones said there is also growing interest in a decidedly more modern technology as companies try to protect themselves from the elements.
Roy Carpenter was an engineer for NASA contractor Rockwell International when he came up with a different way of guarding rockets against lightning.
Lightning rods work by drawing lightning and sending the charge through a conducting wire into the ground. Carpenters system aims to prevent a strike altogether by disrupting the electrical charge, essentially making conditions less favorable for lightning to develop.
After leaving Rockwell, Carpenter started the company that is now Lightning Eliminators & Consultants.
Roy Carpenter died in 2007, but the company is still in business, based in Boulder, Colo. Carpenters son, Peter Carpenter, is chairman of the board.
Skeptics of system
While the system has its skeptics, energy companies make up a growing share of its clientele.
Twenty years ago, it wasnt as big a deal, but now oil and gas plants are so technical, company president and CEO Avram Saunders said. Lightning rods attract lightning and send it into the ground. If you had a multimillion-dollar facility, would you want to attract that much energy?
Saunders said several companies along the Houston Ship Channel use the system, including some units at Exxon- Mobil Chemicals Baytown plant. The company did not respond to requests to discuss the system.
The Tennessee Valley Authority installed the system over a portion of its Browns Ferry nuclear power plant in Alabama in 1999 and will use it at another nuclear plant now under construction, said Rick Brehm, the authoritys program manager for electromagnetic interference and instrumentation and control systems.
Brehm said the authority chose to add the protection to a 600-foot-high stack, camera towers and guard towers at Browns Ferry, areas that previously had been protected by lightning rods but still had been damaged by lightning.
When we lose security equipment, its not just the dollars of the equipment, but having to staff security officers to cover the area, so we were paying personnel costs as well as equipment costs, Brehm said.
An internal study tallied lightning strikes within a 500-meter, three-mile, six-mile and 120-mile radius of the stack for the three years before and after the system was installed.
In the years after the installation, lightning strikes within 500 meters of the stack dropped by 80 percent, Brehm said, while they held steady in the wider area. He said theres no sign the stack has been struck by lightning since the system was installed.
But such studies have done little to sway some in the lightning protection mainstream, including Bud VanSickle, executive director of the Lightning Protection Institute.
His organization, which certifies companies to install lightning protection systems, supports lightning rod systems because they work, VanSickle said.
Apollo program
Peter Carpenter has heard all the criticism.
He was a child when his father designed the charge transfer system as a Rockwell engineer on the Apollo program. The rockets launched from Florida, making lightning strikes a constant worry.
It seemed odd to him that they were using technology that went back to Ben Franklin to protect men going to the moon, Peter Carpenter said.
Jones, the project manager for Ashley Automation & Technology, said his company began using Lighting Eliminators system at customers request but now recommends it.
Jones said much of the current oil field expansion is funded by private investors, who are more concerned about protecting gas processing units, oil drilling pads and other investments from lightning strikes than major oil companies may have been in the past.
They dont want to lose their $5 million to a lightning strike, he said. They see it (lightning protection) as an insurance policy.
Spline Ball Ionizer
Spline Ball Terminal
I have used various lightning dissapators in the past.
These systems can greatly reduce lightning but the installation of these systems can be very pricey. The whole system works only as well as the ground system.
That being said they can be effective. Their was and maybe still is..a company out of Clearwater FL. called Lightning Masters who also are pretty good at this.
Interesting. Thanks for posting it.
Which is part of the problem in Florida. I've spent more than $100,000 trying to build a decent ground for Florida Gas Transmission Compressor stations.
I operate a water company. Every 4 or 5 years, we lose Well 3$ to lightning.
You lose a specific every 4~5 years or different wells?
Same darn well. It's about 200 feet deep, but I don't recall the casing depth. It's near a creek. in a swampy area. Sometimes the submersible pump survives, but not without some damage. The control box is always blown to bits. Last time it happened, last Fall, I requested some sort of suppression, but the company didn't install anything. Their problem, not mine!
So fairly certain not a grounding problem, unless the installation is messed up.
That type of repeated problem should be fixable, but it requires spending money. I would think repeated repair costs at the same location would make justification straight forward.
"Lightning rods work by drawing lightning and sending the charge through a conducting wire into the ground."
This is a common error and misperception - a myth, and not true at all. As an electrical engineer, I was taught and believed it. I used to believe it, until I personally observed a demonstration and explanation at our Science Museum in Richmond, VA. Lightning never strikes the rod itself.
The lightning rods have to have sharp points, and are all connected to a grid of heavy copper wire that is very well grounded to earth at multiple points.
What the rods do is discharge the electrical potential in the air surrounding a building so that lightning will NOT strike it, but somewhere else. They do not allow the condition to build up where the building becomes a source for the strike.
This was clearly demonstrated using a Van Der Graf generator that was repeatedly causing lightning to strike a building. Then the well-grounded rods were installed, and Viola!, the lightning no longer struck the building.
It appears to me that these new systems do an even better job of discharging the potential in the air than lightning rods.....their multiple points would logically do this.
Thus, they would work even better than conventional lightning rods....they are an improvement on the original design of Ben Franklin's.....it makes sense - the more points in the air, the better it is discharged.......
The small water company is owned by a huge corporation that owns water supplies all over the country. Unfortunately, they have contracted the operations out to a small company, which is incompetent. I work for the small company, and can't get anything done, as the boss likes to present a facade of really being a "Money Saving" enterprise. The last time the well was down, it took me two years to get the small company to request it be fixed.
If sufficient rods/points are installed to generate enough streamers to dissipate the building ground charge corresponding to the opposite cloud charge, rods will prevent lighting strikes.
If insufficient streamer generations points are installed, particularly in areas with high resistive soil, the rod(s) can become an attraction point as the and become the most likely point of strike in the area.
Absolutely correct.
Here's the crippling nexus of government regulation. Guilds get to exist by right of free association in America. Yet, government will step in and grant monopolies or near monopolies on certification companies who then trap the tech.
Let the customer decide and the market rule.
Would you propose eliminating all building and electrical codes?
Yes, I'd propose eliminating them as they stand now for the most part. Why would you have to be forced to protect yourself?
Because many will buy products unknowing of the dangers involved.
Why should the Pinto have been taken off the market?
Why should the Pinto have been taken off the market?
The government is a creature of the majority. It cannot protect minority rights. It does the will of the powerful - the wealthy, the politically connected, and the mob aka the people.
Have you ever read The Tyranny of the Majority?
I guess we will disagree and move on.
Without items like building codes, electrical codes, etc, doctors would have significant competition in the number of clients killed by other professions.
Thanks for that. .....
How did Monticello, which still stands today, or George Washingtons home get built? How did they survive?
At least in the building trades, most of the code is written by crony capitalists looking for a captive market. Innovations don't have to be forced on people.
Plumbing, electric and carpentry work isn't that hard and is mostly unchanged from centuries ago. The concepts are all well known and well understood. In Illinois you cannot use PEX for water supply lines, only copper. The purpose is to prevent cheap labor. It's also illegal to change your own toilet or sink.
You cannot build a fence higher that 5' without an inspection and a permit. That's life saving?
Would you not attempt to mitigate lightning strikes against your facilities if there were no "controlling legal authority"?
Look up "mavens" they're another way non-experts get information. You likely have a series of trusted go to people on a variety of topics you know too little about to make good decisions. They're likely mavens.
We could do away with the majority of regulations and you'd not experience a reduction in safety, but an increase. How much laziness on the part of the participant is encouraged by thinking - this must be safe, government said so?
Plumbing, electric and carpentry work isnt that hard
There is a huge change in the materials and equipment on the electrical side from say the 30's. If you gave most electricians that same equipment and materials, the item they would most likely build over time is a fire.
You cannot build a fence higher that 5 without an inspection and a permit. Thats life saving?
You can make all the strawman arguments you want. I design electrical facilities for living. You are not changing my mind with them.
My experience with too many clients over the decades is too many want to save every dollar up front and are ignorant of the risk. The death rate working in the oil/gas industry would be horrendous without most of the codes we are required to follow. For some, legal threats are the only reason they don't proceed with that foolishness. On the individual level, they often expect to be able to move on to another project or company before the problems come to light, if they do before a disaster.
How much laziness on the part of the participant is encouraged by thinking - this must be safe, government said so?
Items like the National Electric Code, produced by the National Fire Protection Agency, are not written government officials. They are produced mostly by the work of volunteers, and some paid staff, who review the current construction methods, material development, past fire/explosion history, etc. The only real impact government has on such safety codes is making them required, after they are developed. Often, states will wait several years making new revisions get proven before they will adopt them and require them.
The only place I have dealt with where government makes the electrical code is Clark County (Vegas) Nevada. They adopt the NEC then write their own special exceptions and requirements to meet the local pay-offs.
I was talking residential, not industrial, sorry.
How about one last argument, no straw, but just a man?
Imagine the complete absence of any electrical code at all. How would you specify and build your facilities?
I would have to do so much immense amount of research, no significant facility could be built in a reasonable cost and time frame.
And on the residential side, you would be amazed at the amount of dangerous installations are done outside the range of proper inspection. I've done volunteer work at a couple of churches over the years, fixing dangerous existing installations from people with good intentions but limited knowledge and funds.
The important thing to remember about most safety regulations, typically they are written in blood. Almost never are they changed due to someone's theory. They are almost always in response to something going wrong. Typically, it won't gain recognition without death or disability; dollars along make for very slow code updates.
I will also admit, that earlier in my career, I did things endangering my own life as well as others, mostly due to lack of understanding of the danger.
Good Judgment comes from Experience.
Experience usually comes from surviving Bad Judgment.
Better to learn from the bad judgment of others.
Which is documented in the codes after significant review by several recognized peers in the industry. I can buy a book with all kinds of crap in it as the opinion of one person. The engineering societies that produce the codes give real review to the design requirements.
Sorry, I'm writing poorly. What if the government didn't enforce the codes? They'd still exist. They'd remain the standard and the tort system would manage violations.
I don't agree. If they were just a suggestions, the people and companies would not invest the time and expense to produce them.
By mandating them, manufacturing companies spend dollars sending experts to keep the playing field level. If the breakers, wiring, motors are not held to those standards, far too many would just buy the cheapest Chinese junk they could find.
Sometime this gives a manufacture a significant advantage. When the first GFCI breakers & receptacles came out, they were hugely expensive and very few companies made them. Without the legal requirement to install them, the volume of sales would never have climbed to bring the price down to a more reasonable level.
Theyd remain the standard and the tort system would manage violations.
Too many companies in today's code requirements are willing to cut corners hoping they won't kill people too often. I am not willing to be like some 3rd world countries (where I have worked before) that views paying of the family of the occasional dead is cheaper than building safely in the first place.
I think you're proving that the codes don't reflect the actual risk. If the market isn't demanding GFCIs then the risk isn't there.
I've lived in old homes all my life and never lost a family member, despite these homes not having GFCIs, arc fault breakers, carbon monoxide detectors, etc.
Being "doubly safe" doesn't save 100% more lives.
What would happen is people like you would create high quality systems and standards. Some would meet or exceed those, some would innovate your standards out of existence. What government enforced codes do is reward crony capitatlists and delay innovators.
Do all new homes need sprinkler systems in your community? This despite the fact that home fires continue to fall?
We are not going to agree.
I've done work in countries where such codes are not required. I would not want my family living there.
OK, I've lived in countries without those standards and it wasn't so bad.

I received a HP tx1000z on 2/24/2008 as a gift. Almost a year to the day, my beloved and extremely necessary for my business, laptop stopped booting. It also stopped charging and got so hot I could have used it to fry eggs. HP was absolutely no help because my laptop was out of warranty.
Costco, however, provides their members with a "free" second year of coverage. I put the free in quotes because the shop that Costco wanted me to send my laptop to is Cybertest. Yes, THAT Cybertest. I naturally refused and asked for a secondary choice. The second shop, MicroMedics, yes, THAT Micomedics was also nixed with an unsatisfactory. I am getting it repaired myself, out of my own pocket, at a local shop with a "B" rating from the Better Business Bureau. Costco also refused to reimburse me for the out of network repair; but I would rather my laptop be safe.
This episode led to some very important information. Apparently, Costco has never received a negative report from a Costco member about Cybertest. I understand this to mean that Cybertest is specifically choosing to be less than careful with PCs from other stores. So, for Costco members, be warned: That "free" second year is absolutely worthless unless you are willing to risk sending your valuable gear to the Cybertests of this world. And for everyone else, maybe you should try and claim you bought your laptop or what have you from Costco.
The main thing I got out of this was an extreme amount of disappointment with Costco, but also surprise that they don't vet their business partners. Usually companies with good reputations want to make sure that their business partners are also good to their customers. In this regard, I feel that Costco has seriously dropped the ball.

Plainly, you have to remember that Costco is a wholesaler aka retailer with wholesale pricing. They purchase items from a vendor which either has direct 1st party relations with a manufacturer, or the vender is the manufacturer. Costco then brokers a deal for this "2nd year", the manufacturer agrees simply extends their originating warranty to be 2 years. Its not a COSTCO WARRANTY.. there is no such thing.
Now.. John Q public buys a laptop from Costco. The laptop acts up 5 months into owning it. John Q, of course, firstly blames costco for his plight. He then calls Costco and recieves the 1-866 # for the concierge service costco provides. The concierge service, using John Q's warranty, contacts the manufacturer and gets approval for a service. The manufacturer then has a choice, pay for shipping costs and fix your problem, or send you to a 3rd party contractor who does the work at a contracted price. Sounds like Health care doesnt it? Your the reason this exists..
If you think this is a GO COSTCO! plug, your wrong. Your simply blaming costco for the run around the manufacturer gave you, tant amount to blaming Fry's Foods, because your Kraft cheese was spoiled 3 months after you purchased it.
The fact is, Costco has the most liberal refund policy in the industry, and they offer the most amount of Domestic (this means its based in the USA) tech support. The concierge program was born of members complaining about getting the run around from the manufacturer directly, At least with this program costco can Buffer the moron-osities that these manufacturers expect the basic consumer to deal with.
As for your specific complaint, perhaps you should have taken better care of your item and been responsible with it.

Thats one of best suggestion i've ever heard about Lampard..he is not at his peak of play anymore so lets replace old legs with young hearted boys like Neymar and Modric.He has stay too long and he gave his best to the blues,Chelsea should wake up and realise that during coach jose mourinho he was known for his best defensive team and mid-feild,his supereb team has faded away but now you hadly understand the problems with Lampard,Mikel ,Solomon kalou,Essien, Anelka, Maluda and others..Chelsea problem is not about how many coaches they've change but the players are over used and we should realised that we need a brand new squad.lets AVB think and creat the greatest eleven ever at Stamford Bridge! its your time AVB go get it!

Heidi and Afiss, agree 100%. Lampard has given his best to us, six seasons at 20+ goals from midfield, a record 600 consecutive appearances, and he is a blues legend. I think it is time to move Lampard and Drogba on. See my other thread regarding Drogba.

MY 3 YEAR OLD WAS TRAUMATIZED BY BIT BEING TALKED TO BEFORE THEY TRIED to do nose and throat swab. Was put in headlock for nose swab.

Touro Infirmary: "The staff at this hospital has been the most rude I have encountered in a very long time.\r\n\r\nThe emergency room staff was wonderful. The surgery staff was excellent. The Acute Care Unit on the 6th floor is the worst care possible. They need to close that unit completely down and re staff the entire unit. There was several incidents while my sister was hospitalized in the Acute Care Unit which was completely uncalled for and avoidable. For one, the techs came in at the beginning of shift change to introduce themselves but that is the last you see of them until the end of the shift when they come in to introduce you to the next tech shift which you will not see either. The nurses have some of the worse bedside manners I have encountered. The entire time she was there no one came in to check on my sister or the other patient in the room with her unless you press the nurse button continuously and even then it takes 3 to 4 hours for anyone to come in the room to see what is needed. The doctors need to get together and make sure they all agree with the treatment plan for the patient and explain it to the patient and answer all questions clearly for the patient and their families before rushing out of the room. One doctor comes in and tells you one thing and another doctor comes in and tells you another thing and it is completely different than what the attending physician has written down. It is really horrible when the student doctors are better at your treatment than the resident and attending doctors put together. After all of the confusion I personally called one of my sister's specialist to find out what the treatment should be upon discharge and so the specialist's nurse asked me to ask the nurses station for the fax number so they could fax orders there for my sister's discharge treatment and the nurses just sat there ignoring me so I said excuse me three times before anyone acknowledged me and when they did it was in a very rude manner. I asked for the fax number and was very rudely given the fax number. The specialist's nurse stayed on the phone with me the entire time to be sure the fax went through and that I received it. I watched the fax come through and they continued to sit there. I said I am on the phone with my sister's doctor office and they just faxed orders for her discharge treatment for me. The RN supervisor or at least I think she was because she was standing over the charge nurse telling them how to do something on the computer very rudely grabbed the papers from the fax machine and fumbled through them without even looking and rudely told me there wasn't any fax this is all just copies. So I told her I am on the phone with the doctor and they just faxed it and I watched it come through. She continued to argue with me to the point I got so upset I began to shake and cry and had to walk away. The nurse on the phone could not believe the way we were being treated. The doctors even got very rude with the nurses doing my sister's plasma exchange just because she told them they could do the plasma exchange while doing the IV Solumedrol treatment. The doctors came in and told us her plasma exchange treatments would be at 9:00 a.m. when the plasma exchange nurse checked with the ATC unit on the 3rd floor which is the unit who does the plasma exchanges it was scheduled for 11:00 a.m. NOT 9:00 a.m.\r\n\r\nI will be recommending to anyone I know or speak with to NEVER use Touro Infirmary Hospital after the experience my sister has had. This was a nightmare from the time we walked in the door. I am very understanding of the medical field and I take a lot before just completely breaking down and I completely broke down during this experience. Is it not enough that we are going through a very terrible time with my sister loosing her eye sight, muscle functions, etc. with recently being diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis that we must also be treated in a manner such as we received at this hospital?\r\n" - Alicia

St Francis Medical Center: "I took my husband to St. Francis Wednesday, 11/12/14 at 8:00. He is awaiting a heart transplant. He was taken back and assessed immediately. The nurses and Dr. Sullivan were GREAT!! At 11:30pm Dr. Sullivan told us that he would be admitted, everything was done, we just had to wait for the hospitalist. 4 hours later the hospitalist, a young female, finally appeared. She smelled of cigarette smoke but did say she was trying to quit. Total time in the ER: 7 hours 40 minutes. Absolutely ridiculous. " - Dawn

Essentially, cohort refers to people who are approximately the same age. When researchers conduct different types of studies (for example, developmental/cross sectional studies), they use cohorts to see how people of different ages compare on some topic at one point in time. For example, a researcher may compare the effects of a new study aid in three different cohorts: 10th graders, 11th graders, and 12th graders. In this way, you can examine the study aid across three different grade levels.

Article: Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma with complex supernumerary ring chromosomes composed of chromosome 3 segments[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma is a rare, recently described, and distinctive low-grade tumor of soft tissue. To our knowledge, there is only one previous report on the cytogenetics of this tumor. That case showed complex structural abnormalities, including a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 1 and 10 [t(1;10)(p22;q24)] with loss of chromosomes 3 and 13. We describe here a second case showing supernumerary ring chromosomes, and a derivative chromosome 13, with additional material on the short arm. We conclude that the presence of chromosomal abnormalities supports the neoplastic nature of this tumor and aids in its diagnosis. Furthermore, we also postulate that the finding of ring chromosomes, which have been identified in other low-grade soft-tissue tumors, may have important prognostic implications regarding the aggressiveness of this neoplasm.
Article: Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor of the ethmoid sinus in a newborn: Report of a case and literature review[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFT) of soft parts is a benign soft tissue tumor commonly located in the extremities. In this paper, a 3-week-old boy presented with left nasal mass at birth. He was found to have an OFT involving the ethmoid sinus. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of OFT in a newborn with involvement of the sinuses. This rare tumor should alert Pediatric Otolaryngologists to include it in the differential diagnosis of pediatric soft tissue tumors in sinuses.

This is the worst eye-liner I have ever purchased. Its $19 before tax in Canada. It will start wearing away in a couple hours, you are definitely better off purchasing a drugstore brand like NYC which only costs $3 and lasts all day.

Let me start off by saying I love most Lise Watier products, I think they are a very high quality and I enjoy supporting a Canadian company. But this eyeliner haunts my dreams with how bad it is! I tried really hard to like this liner but it was impossible. It takes FOREVER to dry, the colour isn't a dark black, it is watery/sheer black and it gets clumpy and "erases" itself if you go over a line more than once. Complete miss for me!

I love this eyeliner! The tip is extremely long and flexible which makes for perfect wings! I recently purchased this because I didn't see any point of buying cheap and bad eyeliners anymore. I love this product.

A luxurious long whippy tip that helps create the perfect fine line. I have this in brown and find it ideal to create a light level of daytime definition. Lasts & lasts, but easy to remove at night. The design of the pen reminds me a lot of the Kat Von D Tatto Liner, also a favourite of mine.

This is my second time around using Feline Eyeliner, and I love it just as much this time as I did last. It is the perfect black colour, and it goes on extremely smooth, with no pulling whatsoever. My favourite quality of this eyeliner is the fact that it is so easy to work with. I can create any look I want with it's fine tip felt pen, whether I want thin, barely there definition, or bold, thick cat eyes. It is very easy to remove, and very easy to correct any mistakes you have made. I got mine at LD in Canada for $18.00CAD before tax. Definietly recommend this to anyone who is out searching for a new liquid eyeliner with a little more cash to spare, you won't regret it!

I'm usually a eye pencil and gel eyeliner type gal. However I decided to venture out and try a liquid eyeliner. I swatched this eyeliner at Shoppers Drug Mart and liked it right away. It's a deep black and felt smooth. I bought it and tried it for the first time today. . This product has a thin pointed tip, which I like, and it was easy to use. The eyeliner hasn't budged or flaked. Overall I really like this liquid eyeliner and would repurchase. The cost is $18.00 Canadian before taxes.

Rick Perry's Confusing Stance On Marriage Equality And States' Rights
Earlier this summer presidential candidate Michele Bachmann raised eyebrows with her incoherent argument that she supports the Federal Marriage Amendment, which would ban same-sex marriage nationwide, while agreeing that states have a right to have their own laws on marriage under the 10th Amendment. Now, Texas governor and potential presidential candidate Rick Perry appears to be taking a similarly confusing and contradictory view on states' rights.
When asked about New York's new marriage equality law, Perry said it was "fine" with him because of the 10th Amendment's protections for different state marriage laws. He was quickly praised by the gay conservative group GOProud but faced immediate criticism from social conservative activists and presidential candidate Rick Santorum.
Now, it appears that Perry is taking the Bachmann position by supporting both the sweeping and discriminatory Federal Marriage Amendment and states' rights to have different marriage laws under the 10th Amendment. The Austin American Statesmen reports that Perry's spokesman is now "confirming Perry's support of a federal constitutional amendment defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman":
Kelly Shackelford, president and CEO of the conservative Liberty Institute, said he heard from concerned conservatives around the country who wanted to know what to make of Perry's remark.
"He probably could have used a much better term," Shackelford said. Shackelford, whose Plano-based group pushes for limited government and promotes Judeo-Christian values, said he has been telling callers that Perry has long favored an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would define marriage as being only between a man and a woman.
Mark Miner, a spokesman for Perry, said the governor's social conservatism remains steadfast.
Miner said people who know Perry understand that two things he feels strongly about are states' rights and the institution of traditional marriage.
"Nothing has changed with the governor's philosophy here," he said. Besides confirming Perry's support of a federal constitutional amendment defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman, Miner pointed to the governor's state record. Perry supported the Texas Defense of Marriage Act and a state constitutional amendment defining traditional marriage, Miner noted.

Joe Ginsberg's interior and furniture designs have been racking up the accolades in hometown New York City and around the world. With a background in art, sculpture, and photography as well as interior design, NYC–based Joe Ginsberg produces works that ingeniously meld design and fine art. Case in point: The glass pendant lamps, which are limited editions designed exclusively for Gilt (we love the flying-saucer-shaped Aura). And the Broadway side table, with its intricate gilded glass top and blackened steel base, is nothing less than fine sculpture.
Your room can have the greatest sofa, art, and accessories out there . . . but without overhead lighting to tie it all together, it'll likely fall flat. With that in mind, we've assembled a broad lighting selection: Whether your taste is modern, classic or transitional, you're sure to find something that'll inspire you — and illuminate your style.
If you're looking to add some color to your home, but aren't into the big-time primaries, try icy tones — they're soft yet undeniably eye-catching, and they play incredibly well with neutrals. We've assembled a wide range of finds here to get you going on your quest for subtle color.
No room's complete without inspired lighting, and these illuminated finds will add high style to any room. The focus here is on the basics: smart designs you can live with everyday. You'll find overhead, floor, and table options; each one possesses contemporary-yet-timeless style.
Retro turntables, cheeky art prints, plaid throws, a beer-making book ... and bacon: Everything here has been vetted by our staff hipsters as appropriate for that almost intangibly complex of genres: the hipster home. So all you have to do is make your picks ... then get DJ-ing.

Kernel: New Maintainer for x86 Branch
Back at the Kernel Summit in September Andi Kleen announced that he would no longer be maintaining the i386 and x86_64 branches if they were merged in the new x86 branch. A new patch shows that Kleen has kept his promise.
The patch changes the x86 architecture maintainer, making it obvious that Andi Kleen is no longer in charge.
At the Kernel Summit 2007, Kleen crticized Linus Torvalds who was still officially the maintainer of the i386 branch for not putting enough effort into maintaining the code. Torvalds referred to i386 as obsolete in five years and proposed merging it with the "x86 Architecture" branch. From now on, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar and H. Peter Anvin will be maintaining the code which now includes both the i386 and x86_64 architectures.
The proposal to merge these two kernel branches was made by Thomas Gleixner on the Linux Kernel Mailing List in July. This step is likely to facilitate troubleshooting and debugging in future. At the same time, it will make it easier and faster to implement new features.

Most importantly, though, the N86 8MP delivered in picture quality. We took multiple shots: indoors, outdoors, and at night, and the N86 always delivered with sharp images and vibrant colors. The camera did fine with macro shots as well as landscape and portraits. The only instance where there was a slight hint of a problem was with nighttime shots when there was just a bit of graininess to the photo, but even so, it's very impressive for a camera phone. Video quality was also good with very smooth picture and playback.
Once you've captured images, you can enhance the pictures with the built-in photo editor where you can add various effects, text, clip art, and more. There are numerous options for sharing your photos with others. You can, of course, send them via e-mail or multimedia message. You can upload them to the Nokia Ovi Service, Flickr, or Vox, and if you enabled the geotagging function, you can plot your photos on a map. In addition, you can view the photos in a slideshow or send them to a networked printer. And don't worry, the N86 offers plenty of storage with 8GB of internal memory and a microSD expansion slot that can accept up to 16GB cards.
Of course, the bonus of the Nokia N86 8MP is that it's not just a camera; it's a smartphone that includes voice capabilities, the mobile Web, productivity tools, and more. The N86 8MP runs Symbian OS version 9.3 using S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2. The user interface is fairly intuitive, though as we've said in the past, it looks pretty outdated compared with some of the smartphones on the market today. You can choose from four menu options (grid, list, horseshoe, and V-shaped) and create new folders. You can also view and toggle between open apps, but its multitasking in this way isn't very sophisticated or smooth.
For personal organization and productivity, there's a calendar, a zip manager, a measurement converter, a PDF reader, a calendar, a clock, a calculator, and a text-to-speech message reader. The Quick Office Suite lets you view Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents, and it optimizes the pages for the phone's screen, so you don't have to scroll all over the place to read text. There are some nice shortcuts to jump to the top or bottom of the page to reduce the up-and-down scrolling, and there's also a search function. However, if you want any editing capabilities, you'll have to upgrade the preloaded copy of QuickOffice. You can purchase more apps through the Nokia Ovi Store, though we had problems accessing the catalog.
For messaging, the N96 can access IMAP4, POP3, and SMTP e-mail accounts and comes with a full attachment viewer. It also supports a number of push e-mail solutions, as well as Microsoft Exchange Server synchronization. There's a wizard that can help you with setting up your e-mail and in-box synchronization.
As a phone, the N86 offers quad-band world roaming, a speakerphone, conference calling, voice dialing, and text and multimedia messaging. The address book is only limited by the available memory and the SIM card holds an additional 250 contacts. Each entry can store multiple phone numbers, work and home addresses, e-mail addresses, a birthday, and more vitals. For caller ID purposes, you can assign each contact a photo, a ringtone, or a group ID. Bluetooth 2.0 is also onboard, with support for mono and stereo Bluetooth headsets, hands-free kits, dial-up networking, file transfer, object push, phone book access, and more.
Connectivity options include Wi-Fi and 3G, though the N86 only supports AT&T's 850/900MHz HSDPA bands, and not T-Mobile's 3G network, which operates on the 1700/2100MHz bands. The Nokia Web browser features a mini map option that helps you navigate pages by providing a page overview and the capability to point on a site and zoom into the specific spot, instead of having to tediously scroll up or down. Aside from navigating the Web, you can navigate the streets thanks to the phone's integrated GPS/A-GPS and preloaded Nokia Maps application and a built-in digital compass.
Finally, if you're craving more entertainment, the built-in media player supports MP3, AAC, eACC, eACC+, and WMA files and offers repeat and shuffle modes and a built-in equalizer. You can create playlists on the fly, and the smartphone will display album art if available. In addition to your personal library of tunes, the N86 offers podcast support and an FM radio, provided that you use the included earbuds since the tuner is built into them. You can also play a variety of games with Nokia's N-Gage gaming service. There are a number of trial titles included on the phone, such as FIFA 09, Tetris, and Asphalt, and with the purchase of the N86, you get an activation code that will allow you to download the full version of one game for free. The N-Gage platform also has a community component to it, and you can create a profile, build up points and status, and interact and play with other N-Gage members.
We tested the quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) Nokia N86 8MP in San Francisco using AT&T service and call quality was OK. Voices sounded just a bit hollow on our end and the audio cut out a couple of times, but the latter wasn't a constant problem. We also never had to hang up on a call because the sound was so bad. Meanwhile, our friends reported excellent call quality and had no complaints. They also said they could barely tell the difference between speakerphone calls and regular voice calls. Unfortunately, we thought the audio was a bit high-pitched on our side and the speaker wasn't very strong. We were able to pair the N86 with the Logitech Mobile Traveller Bluetooth headset and the Motorola S9 Bluetooth Active Headphones.
The N86 8MP is powered by an ARM 11 434MHz. Overall, the smartphone was responsive with minimal delays. We played a trial version of Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D and the gaming experience was clean and quite fun. We watched a couple of video clips and playback was smooth with synchronized audio and picture, but again, the N86 could benefit from a higher-resolution screen, which became particularly evident when watching videos. We also used our Bose On-Ear Headphones and enjoyed rich-sounding music with a nice balance of treble and bass.
The phone's GPS capabilities were quite impressive. The phone consistently found our location within 2 minutes or less and accurately tracked our position as we drove around San Francisco. We plotted a course from the Golden Gate Bridge to CNET's downtown headquarters, and while Nokia Maps provided an accurate route, its route recalculation capabilities were slightly annoying. Though it was fast to come up with a new route, the new directions were a bit circuitous and often instructed us to make a U-turn to get back to the original itinerary instead of coming up with new directions based on the current location. In some cases, making a U-turn might be the only option but we knew of several alternative methods that we could have taken, so the repetitive commands to make a U-turn got to be annoying.
The Nokia N86 features a 1200mAh lithium ion battery with a rated talk time of 6.3 hours (GSM)/3.9 hours (3G) and up to 13 days (GSM)/11 days of standby time. We are still conducting our battery drain tests but will update this section as soon as we have final results. According to FCC radiation tests, the N86 has a digital SAR rating of 1.01 watts per kilogram.

Subsequently I was negotiating on the phone for a specific truck the next day, and about two hours into it, they said sorry that vehicle is sold ??? Never thought they would sell a truck that they said was in stock and that I was in the process of buying.
Next ruck they found for me, I agreed quicker to the price, about $50k, less my trade in. The only stipulation I had was that I wanted them to remove my radar detector from my 2009 Tacoma and install it in the F150. The sales Manager said no problem. So I made an appointment with them to arrive at the dealer later in the day, so that they woouyld have time to prep the paper work and truck. They told me to come at 3pm. Again, I explained I don't have a lot of time and would like to show up, pay and go.
I got there at 3 and had to wait an hour before my salesman sat down. He then gave me an application and said they were busy. A-hole had not even STARTED the paper work. 3 hours later I left with the truck. The salesman didnt really understand the Nav system or media center. Basically a useless delivery. He said come back Monday for the Radar detector install. Monday came, and guess what, they said they couldnt install it because it wasn't Ford.
From there to here they stole the radar dectector from me, never gave it back, and keep lying about sending me a check ( I bought a new one for $1800). Anyway no check, no radar detector, just LIES from Joe Fisher. Does not return phone calls.

Barbara Norby was tired of her dining area and kitchen — tired of its 1980s-era color palette (oatmeal, white and blue), its dated flooring (dark ceramic tiles) and its limited space (the cupboards hovered overhead and the laundry closet barely left enough room to pass into the adjacent guest suite).
She was tired of its 1980s-era color palette (oatmeal, white and blue), its dated flooring (dark ceramic tiles) and its limited space (the cupboards hovered overhead and the laundry closet barely left enough room to pass into the adjacent guest suite).
"It was great for what it was, but I was ready for something more updated and sophisticated," says Barbara of the 30-year-old house she shares with her husband, Doug.
Built in 1977, the Grants Pass house has grown by 1,000 square feet over three remodels, making the 2,600-square-foot, three bedroom, three bath home a super spread for the Norbys and their visiting friends and family. This year it was finally time for the kitchen to catch up.
Not wanting to change its "rather moderate" footprint, Barbara and interior designer Cheryl von Tress chose instead to completely revamp its style and feel.
"The main goal for the Norbys' kitchen was to create a functionally beautiful and calm space and to increase the sense of space," says von Tress, owner of Cheryl von Tress Design in Jacksonville.
To accomplish that, the team conjured a style von Tress coined "Asian Chic." The sleek, minimalist approach enhances the home's built-in elegance, making it kitchen-friendly by incorporating visual tricks and hardy materials.
First on the list was straightening out a narrow passage along one side of the room. Once a wall of varying, but limited, widths that housed a tiny pantry and laundry closet, the corridor now stretches unperturbed to the guest room door. A walk-in pantry was built into the former closet space, adding loads of storage.
A bold Asian aesthetic comes from a custom hutch poised against the stretch of wall that gains drama from its linearity and darkness.
"Cheryl designed it and our cabinetmaker, Tom Rose, constructed it and it's a work of art," says Barbara of the piece that started as a store-bought, stand-alone sideboard. Rose added a handcrafted topper and stained both a deep espresso.
Next, von Tress reworked the height of several existing design elements. The main countertop was raised 2 inches for a more contemporary look and was covered in black granite.
Vertical space was added by removing a wraparound soffit and taking new, maple-stained cupboards up to the lower-than-standard (91-inch) ceilings.
The soffit removal had a profound effect on the size-challenged kitchen. "A lot of times they're [soffits] put in for something to abut the cabinets into," says the Norbys' contractor Paul Burch, of Paul Burch Construction in Grants Pass. "But what we found is that this kitchen looked a lot better by building the cabinets all the way up to the ceiling — it added space."
Lumicor panels were then inset into some of the cupboards. Their reedy "Beach Grass" pattern lets the newly-installed interior light shine through while creating a horizontal line of focus that furthers the room's sense of space.
More custom lighting was added with Forecast Lighting "Oasis" sconces along the pantry wall and a matching pendant over the dining room table. Rope lighting was installed along the floorboards and uplighting illuminates nearby screens, furniture and art.
"I love the lighting," Barbara says. "Almost all of it is on rheostat so it can be dimmed to set a soft, soothing mood. At night it's kind of like a stage set and sometimes Doug and I turn the lights on and just sit in the dark living room admiring our kitchen."
Maintaining the same wall and ceiling color "keeps the ceiling from lowering into the room visually," explains Von Tress, who chose the neutral shade for its warmth.
Dark espresso-stained trim at the ceiling and around the Lumicor panels unifies the kitchen and pantry cabinetry. "And 1/4-inch round moulding in the same stain was used instead of standard baseboards to leave the maximum amount of painted wall space vertically," says Von Tress.
To create unity between the kitchen and dining room, the dining furniture was stained the same espresso shade as the kitchen hutch, and bamboo flooring was laid throughout.
"The vertical carbonized bamboo flooring opened the space visually by using a flooring tone similar to the cabinetry," says Von Tress. "This is a great technique in a small space."
The overall effect is stunning — a grown-up, thoroughly contemporary and inviting kitchen and dining space that perfectly reflects the timeless style and good taste of its owners.

Creative Game Play
This game overall is very good but I can play these games on HP Games with tokens that are purchased in a mass quantity and therefore enjoy the game without having to pay inf=dividual charges for game play. There are games just like these that people play, beat and then never play again so paying $6.99 to play a game that has the potential of being played once is a little bit excessive. I think that if the App store went to a token system like the HP Games, there games would get more play time becasue viewers wouldn't have to pay everytime they want to continue on with a game, instead they would pay for a one time fee for tokens, and then play as much as they want to without games bogging down there system after they beat the game.
Overall though this game has wonderful graphics, an interesting story plot, and the puzzles can be a bit challenging. I like how it is set up and I think that I would play it again in the more challenging modes after I beat it the first time. But after the hardest version, I don't think that I would play it again, though interesting and a bit addictive.
Fun to play, doesn't end well… gotta get the sequel
I haven't played computer games is long time and I used to love adventure games when I was younger. Playing this brought back some good memories. The game is not challenging at all, but it is entertaining. It contains mini-games throughout which can be a little tricky, but if you loose your patience, you can skip to the solution. When you get stuck at any point in the game, there is a hint button that will point you in the right direction or hint at what you are missing. I don't know why reviewers fuss about a "no U.S. version" problem, I had no problems in getting the U.S. version of the game. (But maybe it was an earlier issue that has since been corrected).
The story ends in a way that if you want to actually finish the game you have to buy the sequel (cruel trick, but oh, well…) Don't know if there is one yet, I'll go and look now.
For the money, it
This is the first game i ever purchased from the mac app store, i wasn't disappointed.. It may be over quick as at least one other person said (not sure, i haven't finished it yet)- - my favorite feature is that it offers hints, which i have only used a few times, but prevents you from giving up when you thought you tried everything else and were ready to walk away from the game..

I also own a little AROW for the long run, in an IRA account....and even bought a few shares in my daughters account. Looks like about as safe a place to be these days as anywhere, and the combination of cash and shares for the dividend is nice for long term growth.I have been into NRGY (actually started as NRGP) for a good long while through the up and now down...and hopefully the next UP!Good luck.

The flowers were for the anniversary of her father's death, which was Friday, March 24th.
Not only did I pay 9.99 for next day delivery, but when I tried to cancel by phone, I was asked to leave a message and never got a call back.
I therefore sent an e-mail to cancel the order and was finally contacted Monday, March 27th via e-mail. The e-mail stated that I could cancel but would be charged a 15.00 service fee. I e-mailed back Monday, March 27th p.m. and said to cancel.
I got a call Tuesday, March 28th from my mom stating that the flowers were delivered yesterday-when she was not even at work that day.
I believe that this is very poor business practice because they did not even know what was going on with the order.(inv#1-******). Thank you for having this web page so good people who are taken advantage of have somewhere to complain.
