The Ellie Mae Classic is right around the corner, and the golf world is clamoring to get tickets and offer their two cents on who will come out with the illustrious win. OK – that's not exactly true, in fact, many people even within the golf industry probably haven't even heard of the Ellie Mae Classic, an event on the Web.com Tour played at TPC Stonebrae in California. So why is it even in the news?
Despite the tour's noble purpose as a developmental system for the PGA, rarely does it see any media attention save for a few notable low scores or excellent shots. The Ellie Mae Classic, however, offers a unique story due to a star professional athlete throwing his hat into the ring – er, cup? Two-time NBA MVP and reigning NBA Champion Stephen Curry will be making his professional golf debut at this tournament, after receiving a sponsor exception for the Warriors Community Foundation.
Curry is an avid golfer and often spends his offseason on the links, playing in pro-am events and frequenting courses in his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. He holds a 2 handicap and has featured in a handful of videos testing his golf prowess, as well as appearing on Golf Channel's "Feherty". This is also not the first time a professional athlete has played in a Web.com Tour event either. NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice has also played in this same event, though he didn't fare very well.
Regardless of his performance, his goal is simply to help raise money for the Warriors Community Foundation – but the sports world will undoubtedly be watching to see how he does. It is also refreshing to hear his comments about jumping into the golf world as a fellow professional athlete, and how difficult it is to play pro golf:
"When I found out I was getting a sponsor exemption, I had a lot of emotions because I love to play golf; it's a passion of mine. But to be able to play against the next and best golf professionals will be a huge honor and huge treat. I'm looking forward to hopefully not embarrassing myself, but mostly having a lot of fun and hopefully raising a lot of money for the foundation. ... I'm going to try to keep it in the fairway."
Could a golf career be around the corner? That remains to be seen. For now, let's turn our attention to the Ellie Mae Classic to see what he can do, or not do, and hold judgment until after he quits his day job.

The glucose challenge test measures your body's response to sugar (glucose). The glucose challenge test is done during pregnancy to screen for gestational diabetes — diabetes that develops during pregnancy.
The glucose challenge test is done in two steps. First you drink a sugary solution. One hour later, your blood sugar level is measured. The results of the glucose challenge test indicate whether you might have gestational diabetes.
If the test results are above normal, you'll need to have further testing to determine the diagnosis.
The glucose challenge test is used to screen for gestational diabetes. The test is generally done between weeks 24 and 28 of pregnancy.
However, it can be done as early as your first prenatal visit if you're at high risk of gestational diabetes due to obesity, a personal history of gestational diabetes, a family history of diabetes or other factors. Abnormal test results early in pregnancy might indicate that you have pre-existing type 2 diabetes that wasn't previously recognized, rather than gestational diabetes.
Most women who have gestational diabetes deliver healthy babies. However, without careful management, gestational diabetes can lead to various pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia or excess fetal growth — which might increase the risk of birth injuries or prompt a C-section delivery.
You can eat and drink normally before the glucose challenge test.
The glucose challenge test is done in two steps. When you arrive at your health care provider's office or lab, you'll drink about 5 ounces (about 148 milliliters) of a syrupy glucose solution that contains 1.8 ounces (50 grams) of sugar.
You'll need to remain in your health care provider's office or lab while you wait for your blood sugar level to be tested. Consider bringing a quiet activity with you.
One hour later, a blood sample will be taken from a vein in your arm. This blood sample will be used to measure your blood sugar level.
After the glucose challenge test, you can return to your usual activities immediately.
Results of the glucose challenge test are given in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L).
Some clinics or labs use a lower threshold of 130 mg/dL (7.2 mmol/L) when screening for gestational diabetes.
If the results of your glucose challenge test indicate the possibility of gestational diabetes, your health care provider will do another test — typically the glucose tolerance test — to determine the diagnosis.

They were easy to put in and super comfy to wear.
I love them and they look great!
Product was great and very fast shipping. Thank you.
I've ordered prescription coloured contacts from this site because never had any problems. Unfortunately this time my contacts didn't arrive despite being shipped. I emailed customer services who were amazing and offered them to be resent or a refund straight away. 100% recommend.
Great buy
The color is exactly as pictured, I have brown eyes so the color does look darker on, but absolutely beautiful. They fit comfortable, don't dry too quickly, and the prescription is perfect.
I absolutely love these contacts. They look super rad and we're a great price! And fast shipping. I would definitely recommend this site.
Shipping was faster than I expected. Lenses really look good .
Love them!!!! Very comfortable. Only took three days to get them after placing order. Had so much fun freaking people out at work. Ready to make my next order.
It was fast and the contacts are beautiful I'm definitely recommending this web sites to all my friends thank u
These are awesome! They look great and wicked just as I had hoped! Happy Halloween!
Brilliant and super quick delivery!
Fast shipping, contacts are nice quality and fit perfect.
I've ordered from this site the past few years. This year upon receiving a red sclera lense, I noticed a small tear! I notified customer service, sent the correct documentation, order number, description of handling, and a picture for proof. They got back very quickly, within an hour or two, stating they will be sending me a replacement lense. I am very pleased, and will continue to order from them every year! I also received my lenses super fast, 3-4 days after ordering. Wonderful site. ;)
Ordered next day delivery came promptly and well packaged Checked the lenses without opening in case of any error. Received exactly what ordered happy days!!
Great contacts! Perfect addition to my Halloween costume for this year. Price was perfect and the shipping was fast.
I wore one so I could see x) creeped out my parents big time, good stuff and great guides. Thx and happy Halloween
I order contacts every year for Halloween. They arrive quickly and I am able to reside them. Very happy with the products every time!!
Have not tried on yet , they look nice got for Halloween. Arrived quick
Very quick delivery and product was exactly as described.
I was not in direct contact with Colored contacts but the emails were very nice to see and they arrived faster than expected!
Fast service and you can track your order every step of the way until it is ordered. This was my first time using Coloured Contacts and I have already placed another order.
I was a little skeptical to order from here due to some harsh reviews on this website but was pleasantly surprised! Ordered contacts on a Tuesday and they were at my door on the following Thursday. Quality is great and I totally recommend.
No complaints,very good service.
I love the storm grey colored contact. I get compliments. They really are beautiful. I love coloured contacts. I always get my contacts on time. I will continue to get my contacts from coloured contacts. Thank you coloured contacts.
I was little skeptical because the last contact lenses I ordered from a different company irritated my eyes so much that I couldn't wear them. These contacts lenses are the best yet for me to wear. Soft, water based content is high. I can go about 8 hrs and not a problem. Will definitely buy more from this company!!
Just orderd my first contact lenses last week, they arrived within 7 days and I love them. I already ordered a second time!
Always find what I want at right price. Arrived swiftly and I like the colour.
I have been ordering with this company for two years now and they don't disappoint. They ship out fast and they are reliable (never had a problem). Thank you so much for your great service and wonderful product.
My first pair of contacts were spectacular! I've already ordered 2 additional pairs. And will continue to order more. I loved the instructions and how the shipment was tracked at each stage and I was notified.
I tried Coloured Contacts received my order with instructions! They turned out to be so fabulous I've already ordered a second pair! I will continue to purchase from this company.
Beautiful fast delivery and easy to wear, color of contacts are perfect Thank you. Looking forward ordering more
I love them !! I ordered my lenses to change " my eye colors" and I'm so satisfied. They are excellent very easy to use causing no irritation at all to my eyes. Very easy to put on and take off now I can have "blue eyes" instead of my natural brown. I definitely recommend them. Very fast shipping and reliable and most important INEXPENSIVE!
Looking forward to order more !
Excellent service, with prompt delivery too
My experience with Coloured Contacts has been great. I've ordered grey, blue, light blue, and red contacts and all have been of great quality. I have dark brown eyes and every color has fit and given me that exaggerated look I want. My experience with the company has been pleasant. My order has taken maybe 4 days to receive. I Would recommend this company to anyone who wants to add a fun change to their eyes now that wearing a mask is part of our everyday attire.
Fast delivery, quality products. Very happy with my contacts.
Great selection and prices, fantastic customer service. Sorted out an issue with my order promptly. Top marks!
The contacts I've purchased are very comfortable and gentle on the eyes. The colors are amazing and there are so many different styles to choose from. I received my order faster than expected. I will continue to purchase my contacts from colouredcontacts.com.
OMG! Im so happy and satisfied with this company! They are inexpensive and also very fast delivery! Packaged well with no problems! And their contacts are true to color and very comfortable! Something that i always had problems with other contacts! Im forever a loyal customer!
These contacts are great to wear. The prices are awesome and they ship quickly. The customer service is also great. I am definitely going to keep ordering my contacts here.
I trust this company 1000%
From order placement to my door perfect service.
First time ever trying contact lenses .I had for many years wondered what if? What if my eyes were green colored. At my 41 yrs of life I decided to turn that what if into a let's see. I gotta say it the delivery was great, products as described . I will be honest though it took me about 25 minutes of multiple attempts but when that first lens actually went it I was so amazed at how comfortable and natural they looked . I bought one daily pair and one 30 day pair. I am so in love with the color I chose but I'm ready to try on more. Thank you from a very pleased and satisfied customer . Can't wait to explore more styles and colors .
Ships really fast even during Covid19. Just used this company about a month ago and i already order twice. Like the packaging and the product
Tend to have the lenses i want and when i want, arrive in good time too - i always buy from them on line.
The products arrived with no damages. Excellent merchandise and professionally processed. Great work!
It took a month for me to decide that I will order in this company/website. Why? Because, i keep searching and reviewing the comments. Some people said this is bad and they had a bad experience. I don't know their real stories but in my opinion, maybe those people made a mistake on their side too. I highly recommend this coloured contacts. I received my order on time, well-packaged, contacts quality is really awesome and comfortable. They have also accommodating customer service, if you want to track your order in details. I like also the color that I choose which is the cloud gray. And i will probably going to order again once mine expired. Also, my contacts is not just for a style but i purchased a prescription contacts. I have astigmatism with -1.00 lens, so for those who badly need a prescription contacts and as well as for a style, try this coloured contacts. You won't regret it. I am so happy with my order. Thank you coloured contacts!
Always a great price. Fast delivery. I get so many compliments on the way my eyes look because of colored Contacts.
I have been using coloured contacts for 6 months now, I love them! Product is great and delivery is fast! I wouldn't shop anywhere else for my contacts now.
I always use these guys for my contacts, and they never disappoint. The delivery is always very fast and the products are of a very high quality that also come well packaged. I've used other 'big brands' before trying these and can say with full confidence that these 'Coloured Contact' lenses are much more comfortable with the same if not better quality as the bigger brands, and these come at a fraction of the price 10/10. I already recommend them to every cosplayer I know :)
I'm very pleased with the contacts that I ordered. They feel so comfortable. I'll be ordering more
Fast and easy way to get colored contacts. Love the quality of my contacts and the look of it. Thank you
Very pleased with the products
I couldn't believe how FAST my contacts came! I was super excited, and the colors are beautiful!
First time getting contacts and they look so natural! I'm in love. The delivery was quick. I would recommend
I absolutely love the contacts I plan on ordering different colors
Great selection and fast shipping.
Colored Contacts is a great company to order from! Each order I have made feels very personalized and carefully packaged. A helpful note to all naturally brown-colored eyed, first-time customers'"get the fullest colored contacts in the lens transparency section. Those will do the best job at covering your natural eye color. I noticed the enhancing lens transparency option did not make a notable difference in my eye color. Happy shopping!
I have ordered contacts twice from this company. The contacts are comfortable to wear, The shipping was faster than I had expected too. I will be ordering from them again.
All my 3 lenses arrived exactly at the estimated time. They look gorgeous on me and I just want to order some again for my sister and I. The quarantine discovery... Just love it.
I love these contacts! Great for first time buyers
Astonishingly quick shipping even in the misdt of the current pandemic. The contacts are gorgeous and securely packaged! Incredibly pleased!
good would buy again
I was very happy with the selection available and the speedy order processing and delivery :)
Very quick shipping. Contacts fit well.
I love ColouredContacts.com. They have some really great options. I have been ordering from them for over 2 years now and they have never failed me. I also love the fact that they have a free 2 day shipping which most websites do not have. Initially I use to order the tri color grey and tri color brown prescription contacts but they no longer have those as options so I now order the hazel blend which are like a rich chestnut brown color that enlarges your eye. I could not think of anywhere else I would spend my money but at Colored Contacts. Guys keep up the good work....
Swift order and delivery. I am very pleased with my color contacts!
Came on time, in tact, correct order, and I've been getting a lot of compliments !
Ordering is simple, fast, & easy. Received them Fast. I've always ordered from you & I love my contact color & all the Halloween collections! Wonderful company!
Perfect,arrived early and very well packaged,i will be purchasing on a regular basis for sure! Thank You.
Easy to use website, good value; quality lenses & product packaging. Lenses also arrived very promptly. Recommended.
Easy website, inexpensive lenses, efficient delivery - never had a problem In around of 6 plus orders.
I have grey eyes......though that is kinda neat, it gets old. I use to have a set of soft color tints from another company that I wore all the time. Evergreen was the color, I got so many compliments it was amazing. However, that company stopped making them. It was years before I found this company. Boy am I glad I found them. Its almost like I have the old me back!!! The price was perfect, shipping. totally fast!!! I'm so pleased, I've been telling everyone to get to this site. Now no one paid me for this review. this is just a heartfelt thanks to a company that helped an aging girl get a bit of her younger days back. >'."< Mickey DuBois
Ordered from this company twice already. Fast delivery. Contacts are as described. Soft, durable, excellent quality and enough stock for the price.
Fast shipping, comfortable, good colouring, and picture is very similar to real thing, very good price compared to other places
Excellent service, very quick dispatch and all as advertised - thank you
Website was easy to navigate. Shipping was inexpensive and very fast. Great site to order fun contacts from.
I love the website. It was easy to navigate and the reviews about the business was outstanding! Once I ordered the contacts, they kept me updated on the shipping and handling of the contacts all the way up to them being delivered!
I loved the choice of contacts they have..the variety is more than enough and if you can't find what you are looking for, then they will help out anyway possible.
I am.looking forward to ordering more from them in the future!
the price is great, the choices are awesome, and I'm overall happy! the contacts look fantastic and I can't wait to order more!
The website is easy to navigate, lots of designs to choose from. The delivery was fast and the contacts are exactly as described. Will definitely be using the service again!
These were phenomenal! I've never worn contacts before so I was nervous to try them. While it did take me like 20 minutes to get them in, I loved them once they were there! I lost a little bit of peripheral vision and it sometimes felt like there was a little hair in my eye. But they looked amazing and I was able to wear them the entire day! So many compliments and startled looks from my coworkers. I'd order every pair if I could!!
The website is easy to navigate, lots of designs to choose from. The delivery was fast and the contacts are exactly as described. Will definitely be using the service again!
I stumbled across this website When I was searching for different shades of grey contact lenses. I bought the misty Grey in tritones. I received the parcel in good time- packaging was secure and all looked in order. The lenses itself were comfortable and looked amazing on my black eyes. I recieved many compliments and so, decided to purchase them again! Amazing customer services and quality products. Will buy again.
10 stars is more like it, fast delivery, exactly as described, affordable, a quick thank you email reply from the sender, and so beautiful and natural looking, I have the Blue tri color blend, I'm ur 4eva customer, great work
Love my new contacts. I will order more for sure.
I had less than a week to get some snake eye contacts and was happy with the selection and the options for quick USA shipping. I didn't even have to pay extra. Very happy!
I have been ordering from Coloured Contacts for awhile now. My previous contact lens manufacturer stopped selling the ones I liked through a particular third-party website and then when I ordered from the company directly I had a horrible customer service experience. After conducting a thorough web search for another website to buy prescription colored lenses, Coloured Contacts seemed to be the best choice. I have never had a problem with them. I like the lenses they offer and I always receive my orders quickly. I will continue to order from them and rely on them to be my contact lens supplier. I highly recommend them to all the visually impaired who rely on contact lenses to see.
Excellent. I ordered three different colours and some solution. When my order arrived unfortunately two of the items were missing. Most people would think this review should be negative. However, I've worked in customer services for many years and have to say their customer service was on point. I emailed them the day I received the order and was responded to almost instantly. They apologised for the inconvenience and sent the missing item which arrived within 48hours. Perfect - we all know these things can happen. I love the contact lenses I have tried so far and would definitely use the company again. Customer service is key. Thank you. Amy
I use prescription contact lenses, and being able to find coloured contacts in my desired strength is actually quite hard... especially at a reasonable price! So now that I've been using Coloured Contacts for around a year, I wouldn't go anywhere else. They always deliver quickly, the contacts themselves are high quality, and the price is fantastic. Oh and I get complements all the time
Loved the color and they are soft on the eyes. Arrived on time. Will definitely buy from them again!
Loved the color and they are soft on the eyes. Arrived on time. Will definitely buy from them again!
Bought 2 pairs of coloured contacts, one with prescription and one with out for me and wife for Halloween party and I can honestly say we were really impressed with the lenses for their comfort, design and value for money. We will definitely be buying more for the next fancy dress party we attend!!
The contacts I received were great the product was as described. The ease of ordering made for a fast and easy check out. Shipment of my order came in a timely manner and all of my contact with the company was great! I recommended the company to a friend that also ordered contacts. I would order from this company again. Thanks for the great customer service.
I was a little hesitant buying colored contacts online. I bought them. Got them SUPER fast, and they worked out well. I had a hard time getting them in, but only because I have never put any contacts in my eyes...ever. But getting them out was fine and they looked awesome. I got them for Halloween and everyone was asking about them. I will definitely purchase again. Legitimate company.
They are way more comfortable than other companies I've tried and the colors are amazingly unique yet look natural. I'm very pleased. Will definitely order again. Actually I'm about to order again right now. I am constantly getting complimented on my eyes.
I loved my Halloween wolf contacts so much that I ended up buying some everyday colored contacts for fun! Thanks to the Halloween wolf contacts, my costume was above average compared to others at my party. Easy to use website and quick delivery, not to mention comfortable contacts considering I've never worn any my whole life.
My contacts were great! I was Avatar for halloween, and I bought the Avatar yellow contact lenses. I have never worn contacts before, and they were very comfortable. Although they may have been a little hard to put in (my fault haha) they were great overall!
I have been ordering from Coloured Contacts for about a year. I wear colored contacts in my videos, so I purchase a lot of them. I have never had a problem and the delivery from the UK only takes about a week and a half. Definitely recommend them.
Excellent company to work with. I had one minor issue but that was quickly resolved, no complaints. The contacts were as advertised and were the best part of the costume. I will definitely order from coloured contacts again. I highly recommend this company.
The contacts I ordered made my Halloween costume epic! Everyone kept saying YOUR EYES!!! These came fast, packed in sealed containers, worked perfectly. Can't say enough good things about this company and these lenses, I will most definitely buy from them again!
Contacts got to me sooner than expected, pricing was good, and they worked as expected! Used them for a Halloween costume and people were definitely creeped out and startled!
I was hesitant to order since I hadn't used Coloured Contacts before, but now I will come to them any time I need more! There were a lot of great options, the transaction was easy with no hassle, the contacts arrived 3 days later, and they looked and felt great. The website has great information including a video on how to open, clean, and insert the contacts. The contacts were really good quality and didn't bother my eyes at all, which was another thing I was worried about since my eyes are sensitive. I chose the cloudy contacts for my costume, and everyone was shocked and impressed by them and asked me where I got them. Will definitely be a returning customer!
Contacts were soft and comfortable. They looked great and added to the "spookiness" of my Halloween costume. Wish I could order 1 instead of a pair for Halloween. But, overall the ordering process was easy and quick. Price was good. And I got them in less than a week. Seemed like a day or two. Satisfied customer. Will buy again! :)
1st time I've used this company & I haven't been disappointed. Website clear & easy to use. Shipping was super fast, well packaged & contact lens were superb. Highly recommend. Thank you :0)
First time using this website and first time using contacts, I bought the mirror effect ones as part of my Halloween costume at work and they certainly had the desired affect. The selection, ordering etc couldn't be easier. Delivery was fast and contacts were extremely comfortable to wear.
Was attending a halloween party and wanted some funky contacts to wear to look extra scary. Found Coloured Contacts online and placed my order.
Have to say, from order confirmation right through to product delivery, the service was exceptional.
Wore the lenses to the party to great effect. No soreness, perfect prescription strength so clear vision, they were just like wearing my regular lenses!!
In short. I would recommend Coloured Contacts without hesitation.
The process was quick, fast, and easy to order. And let's not forget the awesome price
I bought these for Halloween and am not normally a contact wearer. I was very impressed with the fast delivery and well packaged lenses. Easy to use and very comfortable. Would not hesitate in orderinh again
1st time buyer here and deffinatly not disappointed.. contacts fit perfect and shipping was fast.. great products and company thank you
I placed my order 4 days before I needed them and they arrived a day earlier than expected shipping! Super pleased with the entire transaction! The contacts looked great with my costume! Will definitely order from this site again!
Arrived quickly and on time just as described, very comfortable, easy to put in. Would've ordered the prescription ones but I don't remember what my prescription is. Couldn't of asked for a better pair of contact lenses.
Loved these! They shipped quickly and I had them in plenty of time for Halloween. They were comfortable and looked awesome. I will be ordering more.
Everyone commented on how awesome they looked!! Very fast shipping and the price was reasonable!!!
I personally find this website very easy to deal with and extremely legit
The contacts were very hygienic and the presentation of them was very professional
It comes with a little instruction sheet followed by the steps when using them
The shipping came within 3 working days which was a very quick process
I highly recommend off this website
Very, very pleased with my entire experience! The contacts came quickly, which was amazing since I hadn't had my act together and it was pretty close to Halloween. The product was exactly what I wanted, and while I had never worn any kind of contacts before and was nervous to put them in, the instruction videos were helpful and the effect was amazing. Really great company! Thanks!
HIGHLY recommend this company for any event. Contacts were vibrant, safe and comfortable. Best of all they had fast and reliable shipping (as they were kind enough to provide accurate shipping information especially for those who need them during a busy time of year like Halloween)--definitely will be a returning customer!
I have had a few pairs of coloured contacts from here now they are always good quality, well packaged and arrive very quickly. I would highly recommend these colour contact lenses for dressing up for Halloween, cosplay or fancy dress events.
These worked amazing I had never worn contacts before, and the tutorial really helped. Took me a couple of tries but got them in pretty quickly! Everyone LOVED THEM!
Very impressed with the quality, value, packaging, follow-up for feedback...will totally order again. Thanks!
Great service. Arrived quickly and exactly as described. Super comfortable to wear... I forgot I had them in!
Excellent and fast customer service. I liked that my prescription was verified with my optometrist. It made me more comfortable knowing that extra steps were taken to ensure I was getting a safe product. The contacts worked great for my costume and were very comfortable to wear! More comfortable than my standard contacts, much to my surprise.
I purchased a pair of white contact lenses for Halloween this year and I must admit, I received quite a few compliments. People on the tube in London actually started conversations with me because of them, which was funny.
I chose prescription lenses, as I normally wear glasses. Overall, they felt comfortable, gave my eyes / look a great effect and I would definitely recommend this company!
The customer support was very polite and responded quickly. Overall I was extremely satisfied.
This was my first time ordering Halloween contacts from anywhere. I researched for SO long and SO many sites before deciding to go with colouredcontacts.com. I have worn prescription contacts since I was 12 so I know how to take care of my contacts. But you hear so many stories about costume contacts, ya know. I read all the info given on the site for the contacts and the return policy, just in case. I ordered the UV White contacts on a Saturday night/Sunday morning. I made sure to give myself enough time to receive them and was able to do the free shipping. I received them the Wednesday afternoon of the same week. I checked the contacts BEFORE opening, looking for tears and to make sure they were the correct lenses. Opened them, put them in my own solution, and popped them in my eyes. They were WAY more comfortable than expected and I could see just fine out of them. The company was prompt, accurate, and had all the info needed on their site. I am pleased with my order and would recommend to anyone.
Shopping was very easy. The mobile website is convenient to navigate. Shipping was much faster than I expected it to me. I received my contacts within about 5-6 days. The contacts feel and look great. Very pigmented and comfortable. Will deifnitely be buying from Coloured Contacts again in the future!
Such an easy website to access and find the lenses you want. A huge variety at such great prices. I ordered my lenses yesterday and they had already been delivered at my house this morning (super fast delivery) Excited to try my range of lenses.
I'm a Belgian cosplayer of Grindelwald from Fantastic Beasts and I needed white color lenses because those I bought somewhere else didn't work, they were constantly moving!
These from Coloured Contacts are top quality, soft and comfortable! I had no problem at all and the result is perfect :D
I paid more for the delivery itself than the lenses but I needed them immediately for a Comic Con and fortunately they arrived very quickly :D
My order for 3 different sets of scary contacts for Halloween was filled the next day, and USPS shipping actually delivered them a day earlier than originally predicted. I'm 100% satisfied.
I can only recommend this store. If you look for some cool colored contacts for a party or cosplay - buy them here! I ordered different styles of colored contacts for a theme party since I wasn't sure what costume to wear. The contacts were delivered quickly time. Also needed to contact the customer's service because I had some questions concerning the contacts. They were very friendly and replied to my message within 2 hours - brilliant!!! I've never had such a fast answer before. Thanks again!
I bought some lenses for a Halloween outfit and was very impressed with them all round. They arrived quickly. They were easy to put in and take out, although i am a lens wearer anyway. They were comfortable to wear for the whole night and didn't impair my vision. And they looked amazing! Would definitely buy again 10 out of 10
Bought both prescription Halloween lenses and natural colored. Both look fantastic and are comfortable to wear. Super fast shipping! Great products! Could not recommend more! Will buy from again!
The website was easily to navigate. The product photos were large and varied. The price was reasonable. The shipping was faster than expected.
They are way more comfortable than other companies I've tried and the colors are amazingly unique yet look natural. I'm very pleased. Will definitely order again.

They are all of great quality. Tganks!!
My experience with Coloured Contacts has been wonderful. I really love my new contacts and plan on getting more in the future.
Transaction went smoothly, contacts were great.
I have trusted my eyes with Coloured Contacts for a year now. I have purchased prescription and non-prescription lenses. I have never had an issue with their products. I usually receive the prescription lenses within 2 to 3 weeks. I have received the non-prescription even faster. My main uses for the contact lenses are for my cosplay. I have received more compliments for my contacts than I do for my costumes!
I highly recommend Coloured Contacts!
I love them!! Fit perfectly in my eyes and I can see very well out of them. Fast shipping as well!!
I came across this website by accident and I'm so glad that I did. I've already purchased several pairs in varying shades of blue, green and violet. I love the way something so small and simple can change your whole look and I don't feel I have to wear much makeup when using them. I've had so many positive comments and compliments while wearing them and that just makes me feel great! Such good prices too, a cheap way to change your look significantly. I get a real boost wearing them. They're easy to put in and feel comfortable all day plus they last quite a long time. I'm super happy I stumbled across this website and I'll be an eternally grateful customer.
I stumbled across this website about 6 months ago and I love it! Great deals, amazing product, and the site is user friendly! Highly recommend these guys!!
Great contacts and very vibrant.
First time putting the contacts in and are very comfortable, to the point where after wearing them for about 5 hours I completely forgot I had them in. I've already ordered 3 other sets of contacts from here for future cosplays after my great experience with this first set.
10/10 great product :)
Very good and nice easy website to navigate around . Brilliant prices . And super quick shipping .
Highly recommended
I really like this company! They have fast delivery, while not charging an exorbitant amount for postage. I haven't had to return anything so I don't know how customer service is but would think it is good also.
Amazing contact lenses. Everywhere I go I get compliments by so many ppl. They fit so comfortably, definitely worth the purchase and look forward to my next purchase.
Fantastic product. Fits well and lasts long. Have had great feedback on the eye colour.
Super cheap lenses and super comfortable to wear!! Definitely recommend!
Beautiful product and great price
Fast delivery, the contacts were exactly as the picture showed. Super comfortable to wear and at a great price!
These were my first contacts and i'm glad that I bought from this brand, they are super comfortable and great for cosplays. I'm very happy with my choice and will buy from this brand again sometime in the future!
I've ordered 3 pairs of contacts from Coloured Contacts and they've all been amazingly comfortable and realistic, I've recommended them to all of my friends who have spoken about wanting to use contacts and they've all thought that the contacts are amazing too. The contacts are incredibly cheap compared to other companies but they're the best ones I've got by far. I would highly recommend them to anybody who wishes to have comfy contacts that won't break the bank
Coloured contacts offer a huge range amazing colours. They have a vast array of information on their site also that gives you information about buying the correct lenses.
If you are like me, and have dark brown eyes, as long as you read all the advice on the site, you will get lenses that work over your dark eyes.
I had a small problem with one of the sets I ordered with my first order, and the team sent out a replacement same day for me once I sent them the picture and explained the issue. The new pair were perfect.
I've now had 7 pairs of lenses from coloured contacts over 3 orders, they always arrive well packaged and super quickly. I can not recommend this company enough!
Perfect fit and great colour! Fabulous product!
Always great service! Delivery has never been late, any problems customer service have been fast to fix and products always great! Only place I buy them now :)
Great service, great contacts, great price, thank you !
My very first order was 3 weeks ago and I must say it went very smoothly. The way I was able to track them at every turn was awesome. The colors were incredible. They are very comfortable and look amazing. I feel very good about myself when I am wearing them and receive a lot of compliments. I would recommend them to anyone , in fact I have. I look forward to doing business with you in the very near future.
I love my contacts there amazing and they didn't irritate my eyes and I will be using you guys for my next events like Halloween and I'm going to Oder 5 pairs this time around
Love my contacts great price and fast shipping
At first I was skeptical of the colored contacts not knowing how it would look on me, as an Asian guy with dark brown eyes. I love their contacts. The ones I got are very subtle and it looks natural on my eyes. I got the Tricolor Brown, Gray and Blue – but my most favorite is the Gray. I've got compliments from some people that they thought was my natural eyes. And they shipped pretty fast which I was quite surprised. Most online retailer for colored lenses takes up 7-10 days. I got from Coloured Contacts within 2 days from when I ordered it! And I already ordered more this week!
The different images for the lenses with different ethnicities help a lot to make an accurate decision. They were easy to order and I am happy with the product
Fast shipping, supper soft and so natural!!! Just love them
All the contact lenses I have ordered in the past and still now, are amazing! Cant enough and the delivery is on point always!
I was stuck on what to wear/look like for a convention and I ordered 5 days before the convention and the contacts I ordered came within 2 days! They where soft comfort on my eyes and I was able to wear them without a problem! Would deffinatly recommend
Great contacts, extremely surprised with the delivery time. They came within a week of expected delivery time. Very impressed.
Coloured contacts never disappoint. Always receive my lenses quite fast and they are always great! Great prices and deals too :)
I have been searching for a reputable cosplay contact company. I have now been using Coloured Contacts for 3 years now. I was also pleased to know they are FDA approved. All the contacts I have gotten have been excellent. Any time I've had a problem, it was taken care of right away. So not only do the excel in Customer Service, but in product as well.
Large selection of quality prescription color and character contact lenses. Ordering was simple and shipping was fast. Low cost and convenience allow me to experiment with new looks regularly. Will definitely continue to use ColouredContacts.com as my costume and cosmetic lens supplier.
Love the lenses they are perfect really fast shipping I've ordered from here before and communication with the company is amazing. The colour covers perfectly!!
Always received the best contacts and never an issue with shipping
Always get my blue contacts from here my eyes hazel and these sell perfect lenses that change colour of eyes won't shopno where welded
Huge range of lenses of all types, good quality comfortable lenses items sent quickly and efficiently. 100% happy
I recommend colored contacts to anyone! Whether it's prescription or non-prescription , they have a variety of of selections to meet your wants or needs and their delivery times are very reasonable!
The contacts they sell are honestly just amazing! And for so cheap as well! It's honestly everything we needed like they're comfortable, cheap and they are shipped a lot quicker than expected. I hope Coloured Contacts keeps on doing what they're doing now because they are helping me and others find inexpensive contacts with a variety of colours for literally EVERY OCCASION!
Bought the contacts and wore them for Halloween got so many compliments very easy to put in and they didn't sting even after being in all day would definitely recommend.
The delivery of the contacts were faster than I was expecting! Which is always a plus sign. I ordered in natural looking contacts and they do look very natural. They are hard to see in the dark as I do have dark eyes but they are what I was looking for. I will definitely be buying more from here.
Yes they are thin, but I prefer this as they are less noticeable on the eye. Always be delicate with contacts.
Great trouble free transaction. The contacts are just as pictured, and they arrived quicker than I thought! Can't beat the prices either
I always use Coloured Contacts lenses, they are the best! Super comfort, many colors, fast shipping!
Very happy with my contacts. And I love their selection
I bought the new 10 daily contacts for £7.99 which is clearly very cheap and I can see why some would be wary of this. However, I was so surprised as the daily contacts came within the 48 hours of my order being placed and professionally packaged.
As for the contacts, they were AMAZING! I have tried fashion contacts before but these have to be the best. I wore them for two days in a row for 10+ hours each. I even remember mentioning that I had forgot I had them in when complemented!
As per every set of contacts, if you care for them properly and keep your hands sanitised, you will have no problems!
I will be purchasing these again with the current deal too! 2 for £15, absolute STEAL!
Thank you Coloured Contacts!!
I had an eye injury a year ago and I'm stuck w a very large pupil in my one eye. I've tried other colored contacts to make my eyes look the same and they didn't work. I recently bought green envy tri color contacts. I was impressed. This was the most coverage I've gotten from any colored contacts. I feel like a normal person. Thank you. I will definitely order again.
good price, contacts came quickly and look good.
I always buy my Freshlooks from them, super comfortable, good price and free delivery. what more can i say. would defo recommend.

Listening to a presentation by an expert on workplace wardrobes, I realized my closet is so replete with fashion violations it should be burned to the ground, covered with concrete and then burned again for good measure.
I dress, apparently, like an unhip version of everyone's grandfather.
This doesn't technically bother me. The only reason I wear clothes at all is because it's illegal not to, and whenever I'm shirtless, I get mistaken for Matthew McConaughey. (Please pause for a moment and allow my wife to stop laughing.)
The mantra we've heard is "dress for success," but according to Maegan Zarley, director of wardrobe at a Chicago-based company called The Image Studios, few of us are pulling it off. And that bothers her.
"Wardrobe is the biggest piece of visual real estate you have," she said. "It's the biggest part of your body. That should represent who you are. That's what allows you to effectively communicate with other people."
I said I'm not a fan of judging people by their appearance, and Zarley — and I'm paraphrasing — said, "Tough luck, dummy."
"We want to think it doesn't matter this much, but the reality is that it does matter this much," she said. "You want the impressions you're making to be positive and memorable. You don't want people to remember you by what you were wearing or your crazy hair or having lipstick on your teeth."
Then she brought up the concept of "visual communication." A person doesn't want his or her appearance to get in the way of communicating with a boss or co-worker or client.
"If you have two team members, one 22 and one 50, they already have that age disconnect," Zarley said. "That disconnect is furthered when they can't visually communicate with each other, when one's wearing Converse sneakers and jeans and one's wearing a three-piece suit from 1990. They can be distracted."
So you want to dress current — in a way that isn't going to strike people as too out of step or over the top. What you wear to work shouldn't distract people from listening to you and appreciating your talents. It's not so much dressing in a way that's going to make people say, "Wow, you're stylish." It's dressing so that you are what matters, not what you're wrapped in.
The good news is, you don't have to drop a ton of money to accomplish this.
"It doesn't have to be from Barneys or Bergdorf or Brooks Brothers," Zarley said. "It can be from wherever. It's about making the right choices with your clothes."
Here, then, are some simple tips to avoid looking like me:
•For guys, pleated pants are a dated look. Your trousers (which is a dated word) should be flat-front, whether they're khakis or suit pants.
•Most dudes wear shirts that are a little "roomier," and then tuck them in and let them pooch out around the waist.
"Men tuck the shirt in and blouse it out because it doesn't fit them right," Zarley said. "Why have so much excess fabric? Make sure it's a modern-cut shirt, one that's more fitted."
•Don't wear sneakers with a suit or any work outfit — you'll look like an aging hipster.
•And, sadly, short-sleeve shirts are a big no-no, even in the summer, when they seem so darn sensible.
"That's a look that's just not 'in,' it dates you significantly," said Zarley, wiping out 75 percent of my summer wardrobe. "It would be better to just have a long-sleeve shirt on and roll the sleeves."
•Steer clear of wide-toed, rubber-soled loafers. Try instead for a leather brogue, something with a slim, clean line that isn't too clunky.
Ties should not be too wide, with stripes for work and patterns elsewhere.
(She didn't say anything about Batman boxer briefs, so I'm sure those are OK.)
For women, there are more options, clothingwise, which can make it difficult to narrow the tips.
Zarley pointed out that many professional women still attempt to mirror what men wear: "They have the same uniform almost, sometimes the same type of fit, pants with the same silhouette, shirt tucked in and a jacket. The reality now for most organizations is that they're not so conservative. A woman's wardrobe can still articulate the same message a man's can by wearing a suit with separates. Implementing dresses and skirts and other pieces that women can wear is much better."
Basically, don't be afraid to dress in clothing befitting a woman.
"Pantsuits are fine for women, but wear it with a blouse. A man wears a button-down shirt every day for work, but that's a uniform that doesn't really work for a woman. A silk blouse is more appropriate."
She warns against pantyhose, noting that rarely are bare legs considered inappropriate in a work environment. And shoes should be close-toed pumps, ideally, not boxy shoes that resemble a man's loafer.
On the accessory front, Zarley says to stay away from matching sets.
"That's very dated," she said. "You should have one statement piece of jewelry and then simple earrings."
These are, of course, suggestions. But Zarley's take on how we dress for work is pragmatic: We all get dressed every day; it doesn't cost much more — if at all — to dress in a way that fits current trends; so why not do it right?
Now if anyone needs me, I'll be in the backyard burning my short-sleeve shirts and pleated pants.
But not the Batman boxer briefs. Fashion be damned.

In a shocking twist the much anticipated sequel to "Piranha 3D" will be shot in... you guess it, 3D. I can't say I'm mad about this and the fact that they're calling it "Piranha 3DD", teehee, makes me giddy as all get out. I think that's a saying.
What's got two thumbs and has Nicolas Cage fever? This guy! And you will too after you check out this new poster for "Season of the Witch". Did you look? Are you excited? Did you see Ron Perlman's name awkwardly placed at the bottom? I love it!
Alan Spencer, the guy who created "Alan Spencer" (look it up it's awesome) is working on a new show for IFC that follows a serial killer who's trying to juggle both his after hours activities and his social life. It's going to be called "Dextter". Alright that last part is a lie but it's a good suggestion I think.
A movie about a magic mushroom hunt gone terribly wrong? Sign me up kids, here's some new images from the German slasher flick "One Way Trip 3D". Let me narrate them for you. "Creepy, boring, creepy boring, holy crap why would you do that?!"
Heed our advice... go with the weed instead.

René Clair is considered to be one of the pioneers of modern comedy, particularly in French film. His An Italian Straw Hat (1927), which is considered his silent masterpiece, shows his consummate sense of timing, and there is ample evidence of it in this movie also.
The title translates roughly to "Liberty for us". It is memorable for many reasons. As Arthur Knight suggests in The Liveliest Art, "Perhaps the first director to appreciate fully the implications of sound was the Frenchman René Clair," a statement that is confirmed throughout À Nous la Liberté. There is little real dialogue, music being often relied upon to do the "talking." The film however backward when compared to the present multitrack, THX standards constituted a significant development in the then-controversial movement to marry once and for all sound and image. One of the great ironies of René Clair was that he like Chaplin, had initially been one of the staunchest opponents to making the movies talk.
À Nous la Liberté is also memorable for paving the way for Charlie Chaplin (whose Modern Times was accused of plagiarizing À Nous la Liberté by the film's production company) and Jacques Tati (Mon Oncle, Playtime). It is a smart and funny social satire about modernization, a theme that was apt and timely for a world reeling from the Great Depression. It also showed a radical idea of freeing oneself from the controls of social and economic oppression.
'The tale itself, M. Clair's own account of two prison pals, first inside and then away from jail, is sufficiently lucid, but the manipulation of the incidents is quite another matter. The characters frequently give vent to their thoughts in song, whether they are behind the bars, in a factory or in a banquet hall. And unlike M. Clair's previous hilarious contribution, "Le Million," the humor in this new venture, despite its farcical nature, is provocative of thought rather than laughter'. M. Hall, NY times 1932
Life behind the bars is as regimented and dehumanizing as a blue-collar worker whose life is spent about an assembly line. The opening shot of À Nous la Liberté takes place in a prison, in which we see prisoners whiling away the hours putting together toy horses along a long, assembly-line-like table. When they eat, it is again at a long table, their hand movements from plate to mouth a synchronization that could only be choreographed by repetition day in and day out. And, when they get up to leave, it is in regimented fashion, one following after the other.
It is here that we meet the film's two protagonists, Louis (Raymond Cordy) and Emile (Henri Marchand), who stand out immediately because they have the audacity to wink at each other and show signs of life. Having hatched a scheme to escape prison, they are halfway out when the plan falls apart; Louis makes it over the wall to freedom while Emile, the smaller and sadder of the two, sacrifices himself and goes back to prison.
How Louis avoids detection is delectable. The convict, once in the street, bowls over a speeding cyclist. While the dazed man is on the ground, Louis, who has disrobed down to his underwear, rides away on the bicycle. And Louis is greeted by a throng as the winner of the cycling race.
Once free Louis begins selling phonographs, quickly rising up to become the 1930s version of a media magnate, a dig at Charles Pathé, a French movie tycoon who got his start selling phonographs. Louis presides over a huge corporation that builds more and more factories to churn out more and more phonographs quicker and quicker. The prison life has at least taught him to wear a straight jacket of another sort and thanks to Mr. Ford. It is a none too subtle way of showing how dull and monotonous modern life can be.' Quality time, anyone?
Emile is later released from prison and lives happily as a vagrant, that is, until he finds himself in one of Louis' factories and comes face to face with his old prison buddy. At first, Louis tries to get rid of his old friend; but, after being with Emile, who is portrayed as the ultimate free spirit, his stuffy, legitimate-businessman exterior quickly melts. The rest of the movie follows a series of increasingly slapstick incidents involving Emile's desperate-hearted pursuit of a factory secretary, which results in a chaotic climax in which top-hated businessmen scurry around chasing money in the wind while Louis turns his factories over to the workers.
In the final fade-out Louis and Emile have discovered liberty away from prison and work—they are happy tramps, glad to get a few sous with which to buy bread.
'Throughout À Nous la Liberté, Clair structures his story along musical lines, giving his gags and slapstick situations a rhythm and flow. The delectable musical score by Georges Auric, who had previously scored Jean Cocteau's fantastical Blood of a Poet (1931), gives the movie an upbeat tone and helps it move through some of the more extreme transitions (Clair, already a master at visuals, adds to the flow with his use of match cuts and dissolves). The film is a musical in the sense that the characters sing at various times, often variations on the film's theme song, yet the songs and the music always feel fully integrated into the narrative.'( film desk review:james kendrick)
Henri Marchand gives a commendable performance as Emile, and Raymond Cardy is capital as the more vigorous Louis. Rolla France is pleasing as Jeanne, and Paul Olivier is excellent as the girl's uncle.

In 2006, Toronto's future on the North American theater circuit seemed singularly grim. Not was only the shadow of the 2003 SARS epidemic still hanging heavily on the city, but the memory of the sit-down productions of "The Producers" and "Hairspray" that folded in record time that year added to the grief.
Then, adding insult to injury, was the rise of Chicago as North America's No. 2 theater city, a title Toronto had laid claim to all during the 1990s with its long runs for "The Phantom of the Opera," "The Lion King" and "Mamma Mia!"
The Windy City swooped in and got the first sit-down productions of "Wicked" and "Jersey Boys," both of which did very nicely.
In 2006, in a flamboyant attempt to regain lost glory, Toronto threw its mojo behind the ill-starred "The Lord of the Rings." It cost $28 million, attracted critical derision and closed with embarrassing speed.
To many observers, that meant curtains for Toronto's major legit ambitions.
But then, things started turning around. A production of the Queen tuner, "We Will Rock You," lasted for two years. Andrew Lloyd Webber brought his London version of "The Sound of Music" to Toronto, and it filled houses for 18 months.
"Jersey Boys" arrived in a Canadian production that ran 24 months, and the repeat business for such shows as "Wicked" grew ever stronger.
"When we were planning 'Wicked's' first North American tour in March 2005, we chose Toronto as our launch city because of its sophisticated audiences and passionate, intelligent theater community," says producer David Stone.
"We have since returned to Toronto twice and each engagement has been a resounding success, not only from a box office perspective but also from the overwhelmingly supportive audience reaction. It has become one of the cities to which we most look forward to returning."
In fact, "Wicked's" 2010 run in Toronto broke all B.O. records in the city's history.
"The era of shows running four, five or 10 years is over," insists John Karastamatis of Mirvish Productions, the city's major commercial producer. "But you can still enjoy great successes. The trick is trying to decide how long a show should run."
In 2011, Toronto's version of "Billy Elliot" bucked the trend across North America. Whereas productions in Chi and San Francisco closed ahead of sked, Toronto's version held over, from its originally scheduled June to Labor Day.
"The Lion King's" return engagement played to 99% for 12 weeks and the advance sales for "Mary Poppins," skedded to start in November, are equally strong.
A sit-down run of "War Horse" begins in February, the Broadway-bound "Private Lives" began its tour in Toronto in September and all the signs are that the city everyone had written off is now writing its own ticket once again.
Road presenters bank on 'Book' | Tuners dream of Broadway landing | Winning and losing on stage in Vegas | Curtains up for Toronto legit | Tour is booked, options are open

The other day, I got up at 8 and my 14 year old, JBug, was already up. Apparently, she had been up for quite a while. She had fed the kids breakfast, cleaned the bathrooms and loaded the dishwasher. But that wasn't the half of it.
She also had cleared one of the flowerbeds of the weeds that were residing there.
Why? Just because. She felt it would be helpful if she got up to do these things. I have no idea why, but I am not complaining!
We found out because the alarm she had set for her little sister played the buzzer instead of music. This made JBean upset, and one of the things she does when is upset is lie in bed and whine. It is very annoying, and no one can sleep through it. So, J arose, like a bear through the woods. He was very upset and wanted to know why Jbug wasn't responding to her little sister's calls to her. J thought she was beng teenagery and ignoring her poor little sister. But no, it turns out she was outside.
Pulling weeds. Who knows what lurks in the deep recesses of a teenager's brain? Why did she choose to do this? Probably to keep me off balance!
In all seriousness, she is a great help. I wish I could clone her. But then I would have to feed more kids! I know she helps around the house more readily than I did at her age. I like to think it is because we have such a good relationship being as I am so cool and all. That's right, I can make anything all about me, just give me time.
T, who hopes more fairies come to visit

The head of the NAACP said Sunday that even some members of the New York Police Department oppose the city's policy of street stops, with mostly minorities being questioned.
Benjamin Jealous, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, told the congregation of the Nazarene Congregational Church in Brooklyn that the civil rights group is hearing from its members who are NYPD officers.
Addressing Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who was not present, "I ask you, before you leave, repair the damage you have done," Jealous said from the pulpit. "Kids in this city are too afraid of the very people who have sworn to respect and protect them."
At his State of the City address several days ago, the mayor "felt the need to evangelize what he sees as the value of the stop-and-frisk program," Jealous said.
He said his speech Sunday was intended as a direct response to the mayor's "fear-mongering."
The NYPD's practice of stopping, questioning and sometimes frisking hundreds of thousands of people on city streets each year has received widespread criticism. Officials say the technique deters crime. Critics say the stops intimidate innocent people and raise issues of racial profiling.
There's "no statistical relationship between stop-and-frisk and New York City's steadily dropping crime rate," said Jealous, adding that there's "increasing discomfort among the rank-and-file of the NYPD about this policy."
Police officials did not immediately respond to calls seeking comment on Jealous' remarks as leader of the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization.
As Bloomberg's third, and last, term nears its end in January, the NAACP leader said he expects the city's new mayor to oppose stop-and-frisk tactics, along with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The Democrat announced recently that he's working to help stop the practice.
If the new mayor doesn't do that, too, Jealous vowed that "we'll do a lot more than march."

Goldberg's Schlieren System uses a knife edge, a spherical mirror, and a light source to show such variations in atmospheric density. Adding the knife-edge to the System refines it "so you can see someone's breath or the heat coming off of someone's hand."
Because he was so inspired by the subject, Goldberg wanted to bring the concept to a wider audience, so, using a microgrant from the Carlson Center for Imaging Science, Goldberg designed a portable, 5-foot, single-mirror Schlieren System. Goldberg's faculty sponsor for the project was Dr. Dale Ewbank, who teaches microelectronic engineering at RIT.
Two of Goldberg's fellow students went to the SPIE annual conference in San Diego during the summer of 2013. At the meeting, they exhibited the compact Schlieren System; several people inquired as to how they could make such a system and show it to others. The System was also displayed at last year's Imagine RIT, and is expected to make an encore appearance at this year's event.
"The science behind this whole technique is old and has been known for a while; you don't need a high level of physics to understand it. That means it can be explained to high school students," Goldberg explains. He adds that Robert Hooke started experimenting with these systems soon after he discovered the schlieren phenomenon in the 17th century. At that time it was used to find imperfections in lenses and mirrors and that remains one of its uses today.
The system can be applied in medicine to observe how the breath produced by a cough moves through the air, or in fire science to observe the way heat comes off of burning leaves or pine cones, or simply to observe a gas leak in an enclosed space.
"It is an analog technique," explains Goldberg: an experiment performed "sort of the old-fashioned way."
After he graduates from RIT this year, Dan Goldberg plans to apply to graduate school, but his main focus is on finding a job to help him get through more school, perhaps working in computer science.

As if the media hasn't already painted WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange as something of a Bond villain, now there's even more circumstantial evidence: WikiLeaks is currently served up from hard drives spinning deep inside this nuclear-bomb-proof bunker — and other places, too.
Last summer, a photographer named Antony Antony posted photos on his Flickr page, showing his tour of Bahnhof's ultra secure facility in Sweden, what MIT Tech Review's Christopher Mims called "a fortified data center encased in a Cold War-era, nuke-proof bunker encased in bedrock."
"Notice the lack of supports in the ceiling, aside from some kind of spray-concrete," wrote Mims in his blog post, "The rock from which this bunker was carved is hard enough that none are required."
Though the place is meant to be kept safe from physical and privacy-related damage, Antony was permitted to take his camera along on his summer tour, consisting of members of the Internet Engineering Task Force.
"There was no special restriction on taking general pictures at Bahnhof," wrote Antony in an e-mail to us. "They told us not to take pictures of details such as logs on the rack or specific equipment."
Bahnhof, a Web host and broadband provider, does indeed service the controversial whistleblower. But it's not the only one. Amazon somewhat infamously stopped serving it in recent days , but the tech blog Gizmodo's French affiliate confirmed that WikiLeaks enlisted OVH, in Roubaix, France, to shoulder some of its bandwidth burden.
Though Bahnhof did not host the information contained in the most recent leak, according to Ynet News, Bahnhof's chairman said that last Sunday the host was witnessing the distributed denial of service attack that drove down the site.

Cook the Book: Goat Cheese Bread Pudding
"Feel free to go crazy with your choice of cheese—goat is just the beginning."
Bread pudding is a great way to deal with stale bread laying around and just so happens to be fabulous and very homey dessert. But have you ever tried your hand at a savory bread pudding?
I first started experimenting with savory bread puddings while I was doing a brief back-of-the-house stint in a restaurant that baked its own bread for sandwiches. On slower days we were left with a lot of beautiful house-made ciabatta rolls that couldn't be served the next day. Dinnertime was not as popular as breakfast and lunch so working the p.m. shift afforded me lots of down time to experiment. It was on a slow Tuesday night that I first toyed with the idea of savory bread pudding.
Though a few years ago now, I still remember the first incarnation of my savory bread pudding—it was quite similar to Tracey Medeiros's Goat Cheese Bread Pudding from Dishing Up Vermont. For some reason I was naturally drawn to goat cheese, the soft texture and sharp flavor seemed to make perfect sense with the rich custard-like nature of bread pudding.
The beautiful part of this recipe is the adaptability. There are only three constants: bread, eggs, and milk. Any bread you have on-hand will do, and frankly the staler the better. I've made bread pudding out of baguettes that were borderline petrified. And feel free to go crazy with your choice of cheese—goat is just the beginning.
I make this dish at home on a fairly regular basis. It takes about as much time as whipping up mashed potatoes. Pair it alongside any type of meat with a fair amount of pan juice or gravy—the bread will soak up all the goodness and become even more savory and delicious.
Win 'Dishing Up Vermont'
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Dushing Up Vermont to give away this week.
- Yield:6 to 8
- 2 cups whole milk
- 5 farm-fresh eggs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh, finely chopped rosemary
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 loaf of ciabatta bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese (4 to 6 ounces)
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9- by 9-inch or 11- by 7-inch baking dish. Set aside.
Whisk together the milk, eggs, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl.
Place the bread cubes in another medium bowl, Sprinkle with the cheese and drizzle with the milk mixture, making sure to coat all the bread cubes well. Allow the bread cubes to soak for 5 to 10 minutes, until the bread is moist.
Pour the bread mixture into the prepared dish and bake in the oven for 20 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and gives resistance to the touch, or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

1971 Chevrolet Camaro - Papa John's '71 Camaro Found!
This '71 Rally Sport Camaro helped Jeff Robinson quit the big B-body habit.
Back on August 3, I posted a blog that "Papa" John Schnatter, the founder of Papa John's Pizza, was looking for his old '72 Camaro. Schnatter was offering a cool quarter million dollar bounty for anyone who could turn over the title to his old hot rod. Schnatter had sold the Camaro back in 1983 to fund his first pizza joint, which he established in the back of his dad's tavern. Now a millionaire several times over, Papa John hit the road in a highly publicized nationwide search, making TV appearances and pleading to millions to keep an eye out for his car. As fate would have it, word got out to one PHR reader, Jeff Robinson of Flatwoods, Kentucky--who's '71 Camaro we featured in our November 2006 issue. It turns out that Papa John's Camaro was indeed a '71 model, not a '72 model as Schnatter originally thought. It also turned out that Jeff Robinson was the owner of John Schnatter's original Camaro. Our congratulations go out to Jeff for holding the winning "lottery ticket," so to speak. But beyond that, it bears repeating how incredible Jeff's Camaro is, and how far it's come since Papa John owned it. Bearing absolutely no resemblance mechanically to the pizza delivery car it started out as, Jeff has transformed the Camaro into a true Street Fighter.
I remember the first time I saw Jeff's Camaro, and how impressed I was. During the summer of 2006, I traveled to Bristol Dragway for the NMCA race, and while cruising the pit area for cars to feature in PHR, I locked on to Jeff's Camaro. The car was absolutely immaculate inside and out. It stood out from the other cars in the pit area because it was actually still a street car, and hadn't yet succumbed to the trappings of being an all-out racecar. It was licensed and insured, it had a full interior, and it hadn't deteriorated visually like most drag-only cars with dents, scoops, or decals festooned all over the body. In fact, Jeff had spent a great deal of time fixing some bad body work that had been done previous to his ownership. With a fresh coat of gold paint, it gleamed like a showcar, but ran like a thoroughbred. That weekend, I witnessed Jeff's Camaro lift the wheels effortlessly several times on its way to 10-second timeslips. I personally photographed Jeff's Camaro, capturing many of the cool details that I mentally filed away for use on future magazine project cars. One thing is for sure: Papa John has bought himself one awesome Camaro that doesn't need a thing to make it a true player.
Digging deeper into the story, Popular Hot Rodding readers will also appreciate that the engine in Jeff Robinson's Camaro was built by none other than Engine Masters Challenge alumnus and winner, Tony Bischoff of BES. Bischoff is the engine builder of choice for many top NMCA competitors, and the 540-inch big-block in the Camaro may, or may not, be part of the deal--we'll have to get back to you on that. If it is, Papa John will have a super fun time getting reacquainted with his old ride!
We thought we'd re-post Ro McGonegal's story of Jeff Robinson's '71 Camaro from our November 2006 issue once again, to give you (and Papa John, if he's reading) an idea of how cool this car really is. For more information on Papa John's search, and how he and Jeff Robinson hooked up, log on to www.papasroadtrip.com
So we've had Pro Street, Pro-Touring, and lately a serious rethinking of the Pro Street ethic. We've always had street-and-strip cars, though. Stuff's been around since bacon and eggs. It appears to have a mind of its own and remains an extremely popular niche, only today, it's called Street Fighter. We like it because it brews the car down to its essence-no frills and few if any creature comforts. The motor and mechanical substance is the street-and-strip car's charter and its legacy. Though it's primarily a drag strip driver, it is able to absorb the vagaries of the street. You just gotta be ready for them, that's all.
Either it's a growing trend or it's adherence to the original tenets, take your pick, but the popular-rendition street fighter still eschews comfort and accentuates metal-to-metal and requires a gritty constiituon. You'll have a heater but you certainly won't have an AM radio or working windshield wipers? Maybe. Would "All Motor" be a better term for these cars? Perhaps the best litmus test is to goose this potent big-block at the supermarket and count the car alarms and cryin' kids. We bet there would be too many to count.
When we spoke with Jeff Robinson, owner of our feature car, and gushed into our fetish for the big GM B-bodies, he fell right into it. "I had two of 'em-a '65 and a '67 Impala. The '65 had the motor that's in my Camaro now. In the tub o' guts body, it ran 10.59 through the mufflers on ET Street tires. I owned that car for 13 years. I enjoyed it because it was different and it was unexpected." Maybe he just got fed up with the lack of interest the hard parts aftermarket seems to have for these classic sedans. These days, you can find stuff for any Camaro on a matchbook cover.
Jeff became the recipient of this Camaro the time-honored way. The Flatwoods, Ky. resident got a line on a '71 Z28 RS that a cousin of a friend had bought with totally respectable intentions. Sure enough, cuz wanted himself a house and decided to off the Camaro to help him get it. Jeff was right there with a wheelbarrow. He sold his beloved Impala and never looked back.
"The Camaro had lots of new sheet metal, but it had been poorly installed," Jeff told us. Eventually, he handed that part of the buildup to JAS Street Rods, but before it went to paint, Randy and Tim Boggs, and Mike Van Hoose helped Jeff piece the rest of it together. Since the motor was already built and tested, they concentrated on the chassis, suspension, and bed springs. No brain surgery here. After the car returned from Carl Wilson (for an 8-point rollcage) in Ashland, Ky., thence from Bodley Chassis (for frame connectors) in Cincinnati, the lads assembled the rear suspension around a Moser 12-bolt axle fitted with 4.10:1 gears and a limited-slip differential. They located it with Cal Tracs leaf springs, Cal Tracs bars, and Lakewood shock absorbers.
At the front, the job was a little easier. The OE control arms got new bushings, Moroso springs, and Carrera shocks. They put Wilwood Dynalite Pro Series discs all the way around and capped them with the wheels and tires of the day: Mickey Thompson ET Fronts measure 26x5 and ride on 15x4 Weld Alumastar forgings; the rear combination comprises ET Street 28x12.50 slicks on wide 15x10 Alumastars. Since Jeff won't ever be slinging this dude into a hard right-hander anytime soon, he deemed the front and rear anti-sway bars superfluous.
In 1997, BES Racing in West Harrison, Ind., well-known engine builders on the NMCA circuit and in the Jeg's Engine Masters Challenge, built the 540 with a 4.500x4.250-inch bore and stroke. They fit the Wiseco pistons to Eagle 3D connecting rods, which ride on a Shafiroff Race Engines crankshaft. A Moroso oil pan seals the bottom of the engine; a Crane double-roller timing chain links cam with crank. The cylinder heads are heavy breathers-Dart Pro 1 CNC-ported aluminum (335cc intake ports) that hold 2.30/1.88-inch valves. Rows of Harland Sharp rocker arms are jiggled by Manley pushrods goosed by COMP Cams roller lifters. COMP Cams also provided the guide plates, retainers, and locks.
The Dart heads and intake manifold were virtually made for one another, an integrated induction package right from the factory, so to speak. Combustion chambers with 119cc volume craft that 12.5:1 compression ratio. A DaVinci-prepped Holley 1050-cfm carburetor lives on the single-plane manifold along with a Super Sucker spacer and a complete MSD ignition system that provides 36 degrees of total timing. An aluminum core, electric fan, and Summit electric water pump keep the match head damp. Hooker Super Comps scavenge the exhaust gases and propel them down the Torque Tech exhaust system, such as it is. No fool for extra weight, Robinson ended things at the mufflers, which is all the local racing authorities require. How much mucho does it make? Not a clue, according to Jeff, but perhaps the potency of the engine can be quantified by its performance in another life.
Jeff's 4,030-pound Impala went a 10.59 running through the mufflers and on 30x13.50 slicks. The 3,300-pound Camaro is still teething, has suspension issues, and (at this writing) has posted a best of 10.80 at 128 with the same engine that BES built way back in '97. So let's see: if every hundred pounds gone is worth a .08-second reduction in elapsed time, that would represent about a half-second improvement overall. Theoretically, the RS should be able to clip high 9s and still peel it back home on its own wheels.
In the primitive 1950s, race cars were really driven on the street and rarely trailered to the track. Fifty years later, the same phenomenon occurs regularly. As such, the car can't be sick extreme. Fragile ring packs, loose clearances, 1,500-rpm-idle camshafts, astronomical spring rates, and serious race-only stuff are usually not part of the Street Fighter street-and-strip car. The engine's terrible torque jab must be blunted but it also must be exploited. For just plain folks, the custom-built automatic transmission is still the most effective way to do that.
When all the thrashing and cursing and banging was done, Robinson bundled his joy over to JAS Street Rods in Williamsburg, Ohio, for resurrection. It only needed a few things: new quarters, rocker panels, door skins, a taillight panel, and, oh yeah, a front fender. Lots and lots of rubbing later, the JAS men squirted the car with PPG base clear and 1971 GM RPO Placer Gold. Thick, black complementary Z28 stripes are where they should be.On the other side of this, Jeff upholstered the buckets in vinyl, wired the car with Painless, and built the interior focal point around the Covan instrument panel and Auto Meter gauges. He's snugged tight by an RJS Racing Equipment harness and watched over by that ever-lovin' rollcage. He's following convention, though. Radio delete. Radio delete. Radio delete. No radio.
