I'm looking forward to Velen's, and to Lor'themar's. Lor'themar in particular needs something - anything! - to happen to him to save him from being a cardboard cutout.
I've always thought it was kinda odd that Lor'themar is still Regent Lord despite the death of the King he's supposedly Regent for and the (apparent) extinction of the Sunstrider dynasty. How long can that state of affairs continue? Will the House of Theron become regents for an empty throne, like the line of stewards of Gondor?
While poking around randomly on Wowpedia, i noticed that Lor'Themars short story, entitled ''In the Shadow of the Sun'' is already posted there. As far as i can tell from the quality of it, this is the genuine one Sarah Pine wrote originally. I have no idea how it came up there first but its there for anyone to enjoy.

@Blindworg: I'm pretty sure "In the Shadow of the Sun" was the Blizzard Global Contest Winner, not from this past one, but the one before that. It takes place between BC and WotLK, if I'm placing events correctly (Aethas asking for magisters to join him in Dalaran, still seething from Kael'thas' betrayal, the rejuvenation of the Sunwell via Naaru, etc).
Mortenebra said...
That should say "Blizzard Global Writing Contest."
Thanks for that; I found it at http://www.wowpedia.org/In_the_Shadow_of_the_Sun
It is indeed a very good read. Sylvanas' story is certainly reaching its conclusion, will probably finish in this expansion, however it will end. Whatever happens, I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Regarding In the Shadow of the Sun, while it probably is that story, I want to caution that it *might* actually be a new story by Sarah Pine using the same name. One that's actually supervised by an editor from CDev.
I sayd that because, while In the Shadow of the Sun is a nice read, it's not remotely relevant to current events.

Exploring Middle Earth on Instagram
To see more photos and videos from Hobbiton, explore the Middle Earth location page.
Ever since English author J.R.R. Tolkien first published his fantasy novel, The Hobbit, in 1937, readers around the world have been enchanted by the sprawling landscapes of Middle Earth. Nearly seventy years later in 2001, director Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film series brought Tolkien's world to life on the silver screen. With much of the film shot in New Zealand, the country has come to be known as the "Home of Middle Earth."
Over 250 locations throughout New Zealand were used in the production of the films, taking full advantage of the diversity in the country's landscape. From expansive fields and lush farmlands to snow-capped mountains, New Zealand's features opened ample opportunities to make Middle Earth real.
With the release of The Hobbit film series, the sets from Hobbiton—home of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins—have been reconstructed and are open to tourists. Instagrammers from around the world have come to explore and share photos and videos from their time in Tolkien's world.
This is one of the most inspirational posts I have ever seen on Tumblr.

Incredible Long Exposure Photographs Shot from Orbit
Wonderful long exposure photographs taken by astronaut Don Pettit. While there are many photos like these taken from the perspective of the Earth's surface, Pettit's images are unique in that they incorporate the passing blur of entire illuminated cities, aurora, and the sporadic flashes of lightening from thunderstorms. Check out many more photos from the series here.

Celebrity news is thrilled to report that MEGAN FOX has "finally joined" Twitter!
Get your phones ready because your favorite sexy celebrity, Megan Fox, has joined Twitter!
Obviously, this makes the first-time mom's numerous (and trending!) "RIP Megan Fox" death rumors false.
For her first tweet, she wrote on Thursday:
"I'm incredibly late to the party but I'm here nonetheless, so what now?"
Fox also announced the milestone on her Facebook page, saying:
"Against my better judgment, I have finally joined Twitter."
She continued:
"Every possible version of my name is already in use so for now my Twitter handle is https://twitter.com/MeganFox516."
Fortunately, thanks to celebrity verification, she later got the username @MeganFox, making every other username (including @MeganFoxGreen) fake.
As of writing, she has gained almost 29,000 followers with a single tweet, but who's surprised?

We list to get all paid-admission parks in English-speaking countries that attract more than two million annual visitors. For parks between one and two million anual visitors, I'll add them if someone asks nicely and volunteers to input and maintain the listings. We're not listing parks with less than one million annual visitors. But we always welcome trip reports about any themed attractions anywhere, regardless of attendance.
If anyone encounters any problems with attraction input, lemme know. To delete a closed attraction, just click to its listing page, then click the "update this listing" link. There, you can click an option to alert me that the location is closed.
Thanks, again.

T-Mobile is the German iPhone Carrier
Deutsche Telekom AG, which won the exclusive rights to distribute Apple Inc.'s iPhone in Germany, will sell two-year contracts starting at 1,575 euros ($2,270) including the price of the handset.
Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile unit will offer three packages, for 49 euros, 69 euros and 89 euros a month, the Bonn-based company said in an e-mailed statement today. In the U.K., Telefonica SA's O2 unit will sell 18-month contracts starting at 35 pounds (50 euros) a month.
Apple Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs is tapping Germany, Europe's biggest wireless market, to help meet a forecast of selling 10 million iPhones worldwide in 2008. T-Mobile, the largest mobile-phone company in Germany, had 34 million customers at the end of June. It's counting on the partnership with Cupertino, California-based Apple to bolster customer spending in its home market.
T-Mobile said on Sept. 19 it will begin selling the 8- gigabyte combination phone and iPod digital music player in Germany on Nov. 9 for 399 euros including tax. Customers must take out contracts for at least 24 months, T-Mobile spokesman Alexander von Schmettow said in a phone interview today.
Customers can use the iPhone to surf the Web using T- Mobile's network of 8,000 WiFi access points, T-Mobile said. Data download speeds will reach as much as 11 megabits a second.
T-Mobile's lowest-priced contract includes 100 minutes of calling time 40 text messages. That compares with 200 minutes of calls and 200 messages under O2's cheapest package.
T-Mobile offers Web access to iPhone customers using the so-called Edge technology, which allows download speeds of as much as 220 kilobits a second. T-Mobile will limit that speed to 200 megabits of data for subscribers of the 49-euro package. The speed for additional downloads will drop to 64 kilobits a second afterwards, spokesman Von Schmettow said. The data limits for the more expensive packages are one gigabit and five gigabits, respectively.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Jason G. of Newton, MA: Thank you for sending me the most professional and detail oriented moving team I've ever had the pleasure of working with. During my all years here in Boston I've had to move more times than I would care to remember. Ever since college up to the recent purchase of my second home, I have experienced many different scenarios from good to bad to awful. None of my past moves compares to how organized and painless this one was. Not to mention affordable! I would highly recommend Big City Moving to anyone looking to move within the Boston area over any of the other big companies. Once again thanks for the outstanding service.
Devanshu M. of Cambridge, MA: Big City was amazing to work with. I had just graduated from college and I needed to move a ton of stuff to my new place. All of my friends bailed and I'm obviously very poor at the time. But my friend told me about Big City and I called Brendan and he worked with me and I got all of my stuff moved in a few hours. I highly recommend them, as they were very friendly and careful with all of my music equipment. Two thumbs up.

i have multiple 70s, and my favorite is my elemental shaman. yep, ELEMENTAL shaman--least powerful spec, all other things being equal. i say this after grouping with several lifelong friends in so many varied situations (one such friend is, gasp, a warlock), and noting the damage meter ridiculousness (and we're all wearing equivalent gear, and have roughly the same level of skill). people can point to what's "outside" the realm of the raw damage meter data--you know, other abilities that aren't straight damage. i merely point back and say "what, you mean like fear, stun, resistance to stun, and the ability to not get spell-locked for eternity since your only school of magic is nature?"
elemental shamans are like 2/3 of a mage when it comes to dps casting, yet lack the sheeping ability (and the long-ass spell-locking ability that plagues my sleep), the iceblock, etc. groups choose an elemental shaman when either (a) the shaman forms the group; or (b) when there are no mages, locks, hunters, or other dps+cc available.
my focus in this post is on pvp, though. i think the following two (yes, just TWO!) changes would drastically help to level the playing field in PvP:
(1) wind shield. only one elemental shield can be active at any time. instant cast. absorbs the next one movement-impairing/stunning effect that would have otherwise hit the shaman. after absorbing this effect, the wind shield fades.
(2) frost school totem; flame school totem. when either of these totems is active, all spells cast by the shaman are treated as if they were from the school of magic corresponding to the active totem (i.e., frost or flame). thus, spell lock that occurs as a result of casting a nature school spell will cease to be effective upon a frost or flame school totem becoming active.
the school totems would give an advantage (a much needed one, i think) to shamans when dealing with rogue-kick, mage-spell lock, and warlock felhunter spell lock, things that have virtually guaranteed quick death to me in pvp and arena on a consistent basis (haven't noticed the rogue kick being as much of an issue, actually). it would, as an additional benefit, give the shaman a bit more versatility in raid situations since their spells could become frost or fire, and thus the relevant resistant would change from nature where that is a factor.
as to the wind shield, before anyone goes nuts bitching--pallies already have the bubble of ridiculousness that effectively requires you to kill pallies twice to actually kill them, and rogues have cloak of shadows, which is the rogue version of the pally bubble, though designed to "only" stop 90% of spells, rather than 100% of everything. a one-shot "bubble" vs only stuns/slows is a far cry from a threat to game balance, and would inject some much-needed pvp viability to elemental shamans (and not overpower the other two shaman specs).
if you have thoughts on this, i welcome your emails to email@example.com, just make the subject line obvious so i don't think it's spam. oh, and if you flame me with irrational crap, i will not take the "bait," i'll just lawl and delete.

Audiences get their first look at IFC Films' newest project "Why Stop Now?" with the release of its trailer on Tuesday (July 3).
Featuring an all-star cast including Jesse Eisenberg, Tracy Morgan and Melissa Leo, the film follows a son who attempts to help his mother deal with her drug addictions.
Photo Credit: Yahoo Movies
Over the weekend he had quite the health scare, but it turns out Tracy Morgan is doing much better and resuming life as usual.
The "30 Rock" star was taken to a hospital after feeling ill during an event at the Sundance Film Festival yesterday (January 22).
Photo Credit: Getty Images
A celebratory occasion quickly turned serious for comedian Tracy Morgan, who was rushed to the hospital after collapsing at Creative Coalition's 2012 Spotlight Initiative Gala Awards Dinner during the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday night (January 22).
The "30 Rock" star - who was among the event's honorees - was escorted outside after giving his speech before falling to the ground in an unconscious state.
After taking a brief hiatus to welcome her second daughter into the world back in August, Tina Fey is back in action on "30 Rock."
The 41-year-old will reprise her coveted role as Liz Lemon on the season premiere - which airs on January 12th at 8pm on NBC.
Taking to the red carpet to debut their latest project, Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller tended to press duties at the New York City premiere of "Tower Heist" on Monday night (October 24).
Kicking the week off with a day on set, Denise Richards was spotted filming her guest spot for the hit show "30 Rock" in New York City on Monday (October 17).
The reality TV star donned a stylish ensemble consisting of knee-high boots, leggings, a leopard print jacket and cute hat as she got into character at the Rockefeller Center locale.

Over the summer he got slammed for making anti-gay remarks during a stand-up comedy gig in Nashville, and Tracy Morgan went out of his way to apologize to the gay community soon thereafter.
But during his interview on "The Late Show with David Letterman," the "30 Rock" stud made it sound like the whole ordeal was a "big misunderstanding."
Photo Credit: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com
He's one of the funniest men in show business, and Tracy Morgan is gearing up to say "I Do" with his lovely fiancé Megan Wallover.
And though he just confirmed the engagement last night (September 18) during the Primetimei Emmy Awards, it seems Mr. Morgan popped the question earlier this year.

The incursion and bombardment of Gaza is not about destroying Hamas. It is not about stopping rocket fire into Israel, it is not about achieving peace.
The Israeli decision to rain death and destruction on Gaza, to use lethal weapons of the modern battlefield on a largely defenseless civilian population, is the final phase in a decades-long campaign to ethnically-cleanse Palestinians.
Israel uses sophisticated attack jets and naval vessels to bomb densely-crowded refugee camps, schools, apartment blocks, mosques, and slums to attack a population that has no air force, no air defense, no navy, no heavy weapons, no artillery units, no mechanized armor, no command in control, no army… and calls it a war. It is not a war, it is murder.
When Israelis in the occupied territories now claim that they have to defend themselves, they are defending themselves in the sense that any military occupier has to defend itself against the population they are crushing. You can't defend yourself when you're militarily occupying someone else's land. That's not defense. Call it what you like, it's not defense.
The incident followed a report published last week by a group of eminent British lawyers that concluded Israel had breached international law in its treatment of Palestinian children in military custody.
It is the latest of a string of actions caught on camera that have caused controversy. Previous video clips have shown an Israeli soldier butting a Danish pro-Palestinian activist in the face with his rifle and settlers firing guns at Palestinian villagers.
It's not enough for Israel to force Palestinians to live in squalor. It's not enough for Israel to deny Palestinians to drive on the same roads as Israelis. It's not enough to kick Palestinians out of their homes to build more Israeli settlements. It's not enough to crush young women under bulldozers if they interfere with the demolition of Palestinian homes. Maybe this is the next phase of Israeli oppression - breaking into homes, murdering whoever they find, and then issue a statement indicating their "regret."
Who am I kidding? I'm sure this shit happens all the time.
The folks at Palestinian Refugee ResearchNet thought they'd create a Facebook page only to discover: Facebook blocks the term "Palestinian"! (H/t Jillian C Cork.)
Are Palestinians the only group so blocked from making pages? Well, not really… after a little fiddling around, I discovered that al-Qaida Refugee ResearchNet and Nazi Refugee ResearchNet are filtered too.
It does seem a bit odd, however, that a population of up to 12 million people, receiving more than a billion dollars in international aid, recognized by the UN, and enjoying a degree of formal diplomatic recognition from the United States — is placed in the same filtered category as Nazis and al-Qaida.
I've sent an email to Facebook customer service—we'll see what they say.
Just to be sure, I tried myself to create a "Palestinian sports" page — not allowed.
A friend from Malaysia just updated me that the Rachel Corrie (Irish ship on way to Gaza) is being intercepted by Israel right now. Follow @Waterfordsgroup on Twitter for updates.

I read the the last post and it was great. I always felt sorry for Kitty in the show and I liked how they summed it up. And the new guy is so cute! I want something to happen between him and Peggy. But I still will always love Pete and Peggy together
You are reading my mind! I love that new guy and I thought T-Lo brought up a good point regarding his hairstyle (how it's too modern for that time period). Did you notice how that one guy from LOST is going to be on the show?
Thanks for your message, by the way; I have too many tabs open and I can't keep track of who I am replying to.

Roundup: Minimalism In The Bedroom
We're pretty organized around the house and while we wouldn't say minimalist, our space is definitely not cluttered. Unfortunately, because of space issues, our office is in our bedroom (we know, we know, it's bad feng shui). We can't wait for the day when we can wake up in minimalist surroundings. Until then, we have these great spaces to inspire us...

I'm in love with the second photo though I'm confused by the beach ball like pillow.
those lights in the first photo are just so clever. very groovy idea.
I think the beach-ball pillow is at a hotel--I assume an accessory to inspire light-heartedness and a vacation mindset.
I'm all about the farmhouse beds and bedrooms. I'm seriously considering painting my bedroom a moody dark color. Nothing could be sexier.
does anyone know where to get those wall lights from the first picture? i love them!
Those lamps look like boils that need to be popped.
I think they look like dreams rising from the pillows.
The thing about minimalist, white homes or hotel rooms is that they work only if they are kept absolutely pristine. I have stayed in hotels where the decor aspires to this look, but every little ding or spot stands out and screams at you. I could never live with that every day. I'd rather have the reassurance and comfort of slight disorder than the distraction of spots, scratches, wrinkles and dings and pet hair popping out at me.
... that last bedroom (Switch House) is stunning, though.
the beach ball pillow is at the Townhouse Hotel here on Miami Beach.
The rooms are ok. Still resonable rates for the area.
BONDST Lounge in the "basement" and the Rooftop Lounge are the best part of the hotel.
Comicgeek - I agree. I think they would have looked better all the same size and much smaller in size.

well considering they just upped the RaF to level 80 this makes sense. One of the things I enjoy about the game is leveling alts. The grind from 68ish to 80 just killed me. It feels like the longest grind in the game at this point if this is your thing. maybe I will get that rogue leveled after all.

Since we finished things off in Fort Collins we had a short trip to the location of the next race in Boulder, Colorado. With a weekend off of racing we are able to relax a bit, re-build bikes, and catch up with friends. I've been enjoying a few easy rides on the trails and dirt roads around town while Macen has been enjoying the Valmont Bike Park. Every town should have a bike park like this. It probably wouldn't get used as much as the one here but it would be awesome. Besides the pump track they have a couple small skills loops and trails that are fun for all ages. This park is also the venue for next Sundays Boulder Cup race. By then the UCI points/rankings will be reset and my start position will be better. This will leave me with no excuses at the end of the race. The body has been tired from all the travel and racing. It's been non-stop since before Univest which was over a month ago. This week we're taking it super easy to see if that doesn't help. It sure can't hurt.

crowd-funded Mesa development effort
for the OpenGL 4.3 KHR_debug extension was a success and the patches this morning were successfully merged into mainline Mesa.
Timothy Arceri raised over $3,200 USD of a $2,500 goal to be able to take time off work to implement Mesa support for KHR_debug, the OpenGL 4.3 extension now part of the core OpenGL specification for providing greater debugability of GL games/applications by developers.
Timothy posted
his Mesa OpenGL debug patches
last month and today they were merged to master.
KHR_debug is now enabled

Each November men of all ages who usually sport fresh clean faces start to let their facial hair grow. It's not just to keep warm in winter, it's to be a part of Movember.
The ladies have Breast Cancer Awareness Month every October to raise awareness and funds to support women's health issues. They started this over 25 years ago. As with most things, the ladies were a little ahead of the curve. In 2004 the guys caught up and started Movember every November to raise awareness and funds to support men's health issues.

It is no secret that Japan is a rapidly aging society. The fact that consumer packaged goods giant Unicharm's sales of adult diapers in Japan exceeded those for babies for the first time last year (a trend that is expected to continue this fiscal year) is a very real indication of the challenges the country faces. However, rather than mourning the passing of an era, Japanese brands are seizing the opportunity to deliver meaningful innovation.
In this vein, convenience store operators are looking to reposition their entire category. As their traditional male customer ages, the focus now is to attract new, older consumers. From small portion fresh food to home delivery services, companies are investing in different strategies to capitalize on the demographic shift underway. Stores already offer a wide range of services that extend far beyond the products sold, acting as post offices, banks, places to pay bills and refuges late at night or in the case of disaster. Open 24 hours a day and with a consistent, reassuring presence across Japan, they are aiming to become "community hotspots." The fact that the segment is one of the few that has grown steadily suggests the repositioning is paying off and they are successfully expanding their appeal.
Uniqlo, ranked again as Japan's top retail brand, is a veteran of redefining expectations. Heattech, one of the brand's flagship product lines, celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2012. In that time, the company's revenues have roughly tripled. Developed A Demographic Evolution with Toray and steadily improved over a decade, the introduction of cutting-edge Japanese technology into the fashion world was creative thinking at its best. Delivering new value to consumers, it changed perceptions of what "fast fashion" meant. However, the market is unforgiving and the company needs to constantly deliver innovation to maintain its momentum.
The other change that has long been on the horizon is the rise of the private brand. All of this year's top Japanese brands owe some or all of their success to this phenomenon. Growth for Lawson and Family Mart is, in part, driven by their house brand food offerings. Meanwhile Uniqlo, Muji and Nitori depend entirely on selling under their own brand names. Emulating their achievements is one of the key challenges for other retailers seeking their place in a digitally empowered, deflationary economy.

It just not fun. It can be fun for someone, but it's too straightforward and the upgrades are imbalanced and uninteresting. The scrap metal disappears too quick and the prices are exponential.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars July 25, 2011
Very exiting
This game is a very good shooter.Makes me pumped up everytime i play!Also alot of upgrades availible...i like that.The controls are simple and easy.Fun game.

The game is really good, i only suggest to implement the option of selling back guns.

ummmm WTF!
seems to be good but i kept getting stuck to the bottoms of the screen and was Fix the glich and it can be great game. Really wanted to continue playing but cant stand not being able to move.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars July 25, 2011
Another twin-stick shooter. How exciting. This is a competent, well-made shooter, with tight controls. However any positive qualities this game may have are negated by the fact that this genre has been utterly swamped with imitations and cheap titles to the point of being irrelevant. In conclusion, Droid Assault is a quality game based on a tired and worn-out concept and as such isn't worth my time.

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
Using agave nectar in place of simple syrup "adds the perfect sweetness to a drink along with complexity of flavor," says Stephanie Ruhe, bar manager at Atlanta hot spot Neo. We love agave for its low glycemic index (meaning it won't send your blood sugar soaring) and because there's a light version that cuts calories. In this drink, which on Neo's menu is titled "Demise of Ms. Beauregarde" after the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory character, fresh berries and lemon juice blend harmoniously with the flavors in the gin. But what makes this cocktail so special, says Ruhe, is the champagne that's poured on top!
10 blueberries
3/4 ounce light agave nectar, such as Wholesome Sweeteners, available at Whole Foods or other natural foods stores
1 1/2 ounces gin
3/4 ounce lemon juice
Splash of champagne (about 1 ounce)
In a shaker, muddle* together blueberries and agave. Add the gin and lemon juice, then shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Strain contents of shaker into a martini glass and then top with champagne. Garnish with 3 blueberries on a cocktail stick.

Alecia Beth Moore (born September 8, 1979), better known by her stage name Pink (stylized as P!nk), is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Originally a member of the girl group Choice, she rose to fame as a R&B artist with her debut album, Can't Take Me Home (2000). It was certified double platinum in the United States and spawned two Billboard Hot 100 top-ten singles, "There You Go" and "Most Girls". She gained further recognition upon collaborating with Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, and Mýa on a cover version of "Lady Marmalade" for the 2001 Moulin Rouge! soundtrack. The song gave Pink her first Grammy Award as well as her first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100.
Although she originally faced opposition from her record label, Pink took more artistic control and pursued pop rock direction for her second album, Missundaztood (2001). It became her best-selling record with 13 million copies sold worldwide and produced three top-ten singles in the United States, "Get the Party Started", "Don't Let Me Get Me", and "Just Like a Pill". Her third studio album, Try This (2003), failed to repeat the success of her previous efforts, but earned her the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. Pink revived her popularity with her fourth studio album, I'm Not Dead (2006), which featured the top-ten hits "Stupid Girls", "Who Knew", and "U + Ur Hand".

The kind ladies at Nordies ushered me right over to the Dior counter when I told them "I need eyebrows"! Product is amazingly easy to apply and looks quite natural. Gives you a "polished" look! Yes the stick IS fragile! Use some common sense when handling!

I will add my kudos to this product. Just don't roll it out too far to prevent breakage.
This is a fantastic universal colour product, the best I have used. I like the MAC pencil very much, but like to have the Dior brow styler on hand as well, use it the most. So easy to fill in the brows quickly, for a very natural look.
The only drawback for me is they do not make refills, you have to buy the whole pencil each time.

First of all, my eyebrows are thin and sparse. I have to do my brows otherwise I look weird. This brow pencil is perfect! The color works perfectly for me. My eyebrows are black but this blends in perfectly.
My technique for this is to heavily outline the bottom of my eyebrow line. Then I lightly outline the top of my brow. By then, the pencil slants itself, making the tip very fine, so I extend the tail. I lightly stroke through the brow until the brow is filled. At the beginning of the brow I brush until it is diffused and there is no harsh lines. It is almost, but not quite, ombré. I then set with a brow gel. Perfect brows that I get complemented on.
It is expensive for only a brow pencil, $30 CAD. But I'll be buying again once it's finished. It's so worth it! It has just the right amount of pigment, your brows will not look over done. It's hard to go wrong with this one. So natural looking!

I'm a strawberry blonde and my eyebrows are pretty much invisible, so I'm always on the hunt for great brow products. This is the only one I keep coming back to, even though it's expensive and I'm always running out. My favorite thing about it is that it really is universal (well, unless you have super dark brows): I get my brows tinted about every 3 weeks or so and this is the only pencil that doesn't look too dark when they're freshly done or too light when they've really faded. I also used it before I started getting my brows tinted, and it worked pretty well then and seemed natural. To keep from running out too quickly, I usually alternate it with some cheaper pencils, especially when my brows are super-faded (because I do like something a little darker then), but I haven't found any others I like enough to replace this one permanently. I even keep one in my purse in case of eyebrow emergencies (a very real thing!). This is one of the few products I seriously can't do without!!

This is expensive ($29) and a big disappointment especially from Dior which usually has first-class cosmetics. The tip breaks off very easily, even when barely pushed up and product does not last long. Not particularly impressed with this pencil - there are many great pencils for a lot less $$$ Don't waste your money.

It's true. This is an amazing eyebrow liner. The secret is in both the consistency and color (a natural and universal brown). But the size of the tip is also key. This is so thin you can build tiny feathered strokes onto your eyebrow and never make a mistake.
There is one drawback. If you twist it up too far out of the applicator, there is a high risk of breakage. And at this price point, you don't want to waste even an eighth of an inch of this precious product.
I know from experience. I've broken one of these.
Like millions of other women, I over-tweezed when I was younger. And now I have very thin eyebrows. I am going to start using castor oil at night to see if it helps regrowth. I hardly tweeze at all these days. I also use an eyebrow brush at night to stimulate circulation.
I take the oral supplement Biotin to help hair, brows, lashes, and nails. I reviewed the supplement on MUA recently.
Yes, among many mediocre eyebrow pencils, Christian Dior's styler is a wonder. I have dark brown hair and dark brown brows.

HG brow pencil sleek has brush at one end never needs sharpening looks amazing- natural yet groomed and you can definitely make them more dramatic or keep it basic.
I love this for 2 reasons 1 because it looks awesome and 2 it's all you need instead of so many things like shadow-angle brush-brow gel or pencil-brush-sharpener or a bulky box that breaks with teeny things that get lost. I have limited room for everyday mu storage so this is a big plus.
Just make sure you buy 2!!!

This is the best eye brow pencil I have ever used. I like how consistent it is, it's the perfect shade for my brows, not too dark, not too light, it blends in really nice, and goes on really smooth.
It's very expensive for a brow pencil, but definitely worth the money

I love the style of the packaging, but the product color did not work for me. I have very dark, pretty much black brows. And the color of this pencil is too warm. (It's advertised as a "universal" shade, but there's really no such thing.)
Aside from the color, I think it's a great product: The tip is fine but does not break under reasonable pressure. I like that it doesn't require sharpening. The spoolie brush on the end is very convenient. And the packaging is sleek and attractive.
But since the color clashes with my natural brows, I'll be returning it to the store and I won't repurchase.

The Cost of the Wandering Eye of the Tiger
Disclaimer: I have no idea if the Tiger Woods affair rumors and allegations are true. I happen to think they are true, and I have an opinion. You can have one too. Here's mine ...
Danielle Hoston: I'll be honest. I'm not shocked that "Tiger" turned "Cheetah." I'm surprised that he was so damn stupid.
It's a well-known fact that wealthy athletes commonly cheat on their wives. Let's add the fact that Tiger is THE most recognizable (and first billionaire) athlete and ... well ... let's just say that most men couldn't handle that level of temptation.
I wonder how many suspicious eyebrows were raised at Elin Nordegren when Tiger married the one-time model/former nanny. I'm pretty sure that you could have audibly heard the "gold digger" and "prenup" whispers as she walked down the aisle. When I heard that Elin went psycho-wife with a golf club on Tiger's SUV over an alleged affair, I was secretly thrilled. If she was a bona fide gold digger, she would quickly have turned the other cheek when the rumors surfaced, and she certainly wouldn't have jeopardized any endorsement deals with a scandal. Of course, her silence could have also been interpreted as a wife that believed in the sanctity of marriage and chose to gracefully handle her husband's affair privately. But if you love your husband -- I mean REALLY love your husband -- then the idea of him flying skanky women to his golf tournaments around the world and sleeping with them would test the class and grace of any woman.
So I cheered for Elin's love and passion for her marriage, and just as I was ready to print my "Team Elin" T-shirt, she let me down. Her passionately-in-love broken heart seemed to have a fast cure ... Tiger's money. Elin Nordegren has reportedly already received a $5 million payout. Her $20 million prenup agreement may have been shortened from 10 to seven years, and may have had as much as a whopping $55 million added to it. In order to qualify for the prenup, she must be the "dutiful wife" and show up with Woods to social events. In addition, it's been rumored that she is prevented from ever telling her story. How romantic.
I guess my financial advice is directed at Tiger this week, since wives, mistresses, and affairs seem to be all about money:
1. Pay your mistress off before Us Weekly does. Seriously, how much can sexual favors and silence from reality show contestants and cocktail waitresses run nowadays? God knows they have to cost a lot less than Elin's forgiveness.
2. Current technology is far too advanced to hide affairs. Please don't provide evidence (texts, voicemails, pictures, etc.) to your mistresses that can actually be sold. Get a pager for you ... and for her.
In closing, I'm not mad at Elin. That's a whole lot of money. I am just a little disappointed and sad that her heart could be purchased at all.
How much would your husband have to pay you for an affair? Is there a price that would cure your broken heart?
|Danielle Hoston is a business and finance expert with Hoston and Associates. She is the mom of one and resides in Los Angeles.
Hey, just found this website and I have to admit that it seems nice. I absolutely agree with your point of view.

Man dressed up as dead sister to get prescription drugs
An Athens man is accused of going to some creative means to get his hands on prescription drugs.
Witnesses say Douglas Gregory Nichols, on two separate occasions, wore a wig and makeup to pick up prescriptions that belonged to his sister, who died less than a day before the first incident, said Athens Police Sgt. Detective Heith Willis.
"We are assuming he was doing that to look more like the relative," Willis said.
"It is unbelievable to me," he said later.
Nichols' first attempt worked, but on the second try pharmacy staff recognized he wasn't the rightful owner.Nichols was arrested Tuesday on a warrant for prescription fraud. He was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of schedule II drugs, two counts of prescription fraud, criminal impersonation, parole violation, false impersonation, possession of schedule IV drugs and introduction to a penal facility.

Requiem to Kodak
Our next camera was the Instamatic with the flashcubes. Our first took 126 film and then they introduced cameras with 110 film which was a cartridge so any idiot could load the film.
There was a short-lived disc camera that followed. It had a disk, a variation on the cartridge.
In the 1980s I moved up the the 35mm camera. Bought fancy lenses. I was better with the instant cameras which is why digital was the way to go for me.
30-year heart specialist turns out to be a carpenter
A bogus doctor who operated as a heart specialist for more than 30 years has been exposed as a carpenter without a single medical qualification to his name.
Self-styled expert Vladimiro Colloca, 58, is understood to have been consulted by thousands of patients around Milan, Italy, in three decades of posing as a cardiac specialist, say prosecutors.
He was caught out when some of his patients mentioned him in consultations with real heart experts, who had never heard of him.
Police are now investigating his extensive patient records to establish if any of them died or suffered as a result of his treatment.

Students at a new Utah high school are facing disappointment after their choice for a new school mascot was rejected for one of the strangest reasons possible: Board members deemed it might be seen as offensive to middle-aged women.
As reported by Salt Lake City Fox affiliate KTSU, Draper (Utah) Corner Canyon High announced its new mascot and school colors on Wednesday, with Canyons School District officials proclaiming that the school's teams will be called the Chargers, using a blue and white color scheme.
That's all fine and good except for the fact that the school's future student body -- which was given the opportunity to select its own future mascot -- had chosen to be the Cougars. With some 23 percent of the student vote, the Cougar choice was far preferred to other options, which included the Chargers, Diamondbacks, Falcons, Raptors, Broncos, Bears and Cavaliers.
The reason why the future student body gravitated toward Cougars is pretty clear: area collegiate power BYU uses the Cougar as its mascot and enjoys an enormous fan base of area residents and those who follow the Mormon faith (BYU is a Mormon institution).
Still, the Canyons School Board refused to accept the Cougar as a mascot out of fear that it might offend older women. In the current edition of the Webster Dictionary, the second definition for cougar sights a slang terminology that refers to "a middle-aged woman seeking a romantic relationship with a younger man."
Some movie-goers complaining silent film 'The Artist' has no dialogue
For those who have been wondering what could possibly be more ridiculous than that lawsuit filed last fall by a Detroit woman who expected "Drive" to be more like "The Fast and the Furious," here is your answer.
The Telegraph has reported that a "small number of refunds" have been issued to moviegoers in the United Kingdom who complained because "The Artist" — a movie that is quite clear about the fact that it is a silent film — doesn't have any spoken dialogue in it. It's SILENT.
"Odeon Liverpool One can confirm it has issued a small number of refunds to guests who were unaware that The Artist was a silent film," a spokesperson for the theater chain tells the British newspaper.
It's like going to see the 'Lion King' and then complaining that it was animated. But I'm not surprised, countless times I have heard friends complain about films because of the content. Invariable when I ask did you not read the review - the answer is no. Isn't it the responsibility of the film-goer to be informed of the content as opposed to the theatre informing their customers?
Employee fired for working through lunch break
A receptionist that was fired because she continued to work during her lunch break was finally awarded her unemployment benefits. A Chicago judge ruled that the decision to deny her benefits - which then started a two-year battle - was 'clearly erroneous'. The row started when Sharon Smiley, 48, punched out for lunch in January 2010 but then remained at her desk to finish up an extra assignment that she had been given. Ms Smiley had worked at the real estate firm for 10 years at that point and was very familiar with the policy of taking a mandatory 30 minute break for lunch.
On that particular Thursday, Ms Smiley didn't want anything to eat, so she stayed at her desk and worked. 'I thought, "Well, I'm not hungry; I'll just do this work … so when I get back from lunch, I can do my original work that I'm supposed to be doing,"' she said. A manager approached her and told her to take her break. When she remained at her desk, the manager got human resources involved, who argued that she was violating Illinois Labour Laws that require employers to give their workers a break.
Her employers, Equity Lifestyle Properties Inc., were likely already wary about Ms Smiley's workload since a stroke in July of the previous year which prompted her to miss about three months of work. Legally, the company had a right to be concerned about Ms Smiley's over-eager behaviour: the law says that employers are liable if they knowingly allow their employees to work during lunch. The company then fired her on the grounds that her refusal to go to lunch - the first time she'd ever done so - qualified as insubordination and considered her behaviour misconduct. On those grounds, they were able to deny payment of her unemployment benefits.
After pleading her case to lawyers who thought she was a lost cause, Ms Smiley decided to embark on the legal battle solo. Finally, after three denials from the state employment review board as well as a circuit court appeal all of which lasted two years, a judge ruled in her favour. Ms Smiley was awarded a percentage of her one-time salary and then $528 every two weeks until she found another job from the point the order was made. Thankfully, that wasn't too long: Ms Smiley is now a receptionist at a different company. It was never her intention to ask for her old job back, she was just looking for the unemployment benefits.

Mugshot of the Week
We just lost another Puck Bunny
Looks like the Rangers are going to have to find a new good luck charm. Olivia Munn and her NHL boyfriend Brad Richards have called it quits.
The two started dating in November. Since the New York Rangers player has been dating Munn, the Rangers have become the third best team, in terms of points, in NHL history with a 24-6-1 season and 129 points.
Girl dresses as a guy to grope other girls
Gemma Barker, 19, posed as different people on the internet and managed to deceive two 16 year-old girls by having real-life dating relationships with them. Ms. Barker dressed up as a teenaged boy and went out to meet the girls, even tricking one of the girl's parents by her disguise. Prosecutors claim that Barker kissed, cuddled and groped the girls.
She created three personalities – Aaron Lampard, Conor McCormack and Luke Jones. Each had a Facebook profile, email addresses and phone numbers, where she would use the identities and introduced and communicated herself as one of them when the occasion arose. There, prosecutors say that she sought the two girls because she knew both of them previously from parties.
Barker put on baggy clothes and hats to hide her gender. She was apparently told by the two girls on separate occasions on what the ideal boy is and perhaps took it too far by trying to manifest herself as that person.
Barker has plead guilty to two counts of sexual assault, where she could face up to two years in prison and is on the Sex Offenders Register. She is currently out on bail and awaiting sentencing.
Indonesia to use contrete balls to knock trainer surfers off trains so they won't accidently fall off
Railway staff in Indonesia have started hanging concrete balls above train tracks to try to prevent commuters from riding on carriage roofs. The first balls were installed just above carriage-height near a station outside the capital, Jakarta. More will be put up elsewhere if they are found to keep people off the roofs.
Previous attempts to deter roof riders included spraying roofs with paint, spreading oil on carriages and hiring musicians to perform safety songs. Those initiatives have failed. Officials hope that the latest move will prove to be the ultimate deterrent. Roof riders also face the possibility of imprisonment. The balls - which can deliver a severe blow to the head - will be suspended a few inches above the tops of carriages at points where trains enter or pull out of stations, or where they go through crossings.
Officials said that "roof surfing" can be extremely dangerous. In 2008 at least 53 passengers died in an accident while travelling on a train roof. In 2011, 11 people were killed. Most victims are electrocuted by overhead power cables, but some fall off train carriages while trains are moving. Officials say they have tried everything to stop the problem - and even put rolls of barbed wire on train roofs - but nothing has worked. Officials say that if the latest initiative is successful, the project will be expanded.
I love this story. So how do you address a social problem, by maiming and killing the perpetrators. So not enough people died on the train roofs on their own so now officials will assist by knocking even more off with dangling concrete balls. Every considered buying more trains?
Man claims family dog strangled wife
A German man suspected of strangling his wife has pointed the finger at the family dog instead, saying the Labrador could have smothered her to death by accident. The 50-year-old man was convicted of manslaughter after his wife was found strangled to death in their bathroom in Düsseldorf November 2010.
But his conviction was overruled by a federal court which said that the fact the woman was strangled for several minutes did not necessarily on its own mean she was killed intentionally, and now the case is being heard again – complete with a witness who is an expert on dogs. The man's lawyer said he and his wife had been drinking heavily on the night she died – he had a blood alcohol level of 3.4 parts per thousand when police arrived at their house.
He said the woman had fallen over in the bathroom and her husband had been unable to lift her up. He had given her a pillow and blanket and gone to bed, to find her dead the following afternoon. Their 35-kilo dog must have smothered her, the lawyer argued, saying it was well-known that they sometimes kill their own puppies this way by accident.
The expert from the Labrador club in Velbert, said adults could not be put in danger by one of the dogs. He said newborns could be accidentally smothered by one of the animals if they snuggled up to them, but that adults could not.
Hey this is a variation on the Butler did it. They might have to introduce a new character/suspect in the board game Clue - Cedric the Labrador. If he wanted to pin it on the dog he should have had the dog's leash rapped around his wife's neck with the dog's paw prints all over it. That's how you frame the dog.
Internet Blackout Day
The Great Wikipedia Blackout of 2012 has begun.
It's pretty wierd seeing Wikipedia down.
Boing Boing, Reddit, TwitPic, Mozilla, Mojang, and thousands of others will soon follow suit. The Internet is officially on strike! Why? Because the US Congress is conspiring with the entertainment industry to break the Internet.
Make no mistake: SOPA has not been shelved. And a vote on PIPA is just around the corner. Luckily, hundreds of companies, charities, and notable individuals with strong moral character have joined forces to stop these dangerous Big Brother bills from moving forward.
The fight is far from over, but hopefully today's blackout will help bring this important matter to the attention of folks who rely on the Internet for entertainment and education, but have so far remained oblivious to SOPA and PIPA and their harmful consequences which will have impact beyond the US borders.
If you absolutely must scab, here are a few useful links:

Timmies cup sizes just grew
In a textbook example of a vicious coffee cup size war of attrition, Tim Hortons has resized all of its sizes upwards—its extra large will now hold 24 ounces four ounces more than Starbucks' extra large size, venti, pronto or whatever they call it? The new cup sizes match the American sizes. Except the Americans got rid of the 8 ounce-cup. Like what red blooded American would buy a drink so small?
Why didn't they just leave the sizes as they are and add an extra extra large just to reinforce what a glutton you must be do order a ridiculously large coffee. Wonder how long the extra small size will survive in Canada.
Airplane crew accidently activates recording that the plane is going down, panic prevails
Passengers on board a British Airways flight from Miami to London got the fright of their lives when cabin crew mistakenly announced the plane was going down and they should brace themselves for an emergency water landing.
As panic began to spread among the passengers - with many fearing they were about to die - a flight attendant came on over the intercom to apologise, saying the message was played in error.
Duncan and Tracey Farquharson, from London, were on Saturday's flight and have accused the airline of trivializing passengers' concerns.
They told the Daily Telegraph that staff issued a 'blasé' apology and did not explain exactly what the error was until hours later, when they were landing at Heathrow.
Mr Farquharson, 58, an engineer, said: 'We were about three hours into the flight when an automated message came over the tannoy saying: "This is an emergency, we will shortly be making an emergency landing on water".

Middle East conflict shifts to cyber war fought by teen hackers
The websites of Israel's stock exchange and national airline were hit by hack attacks today after weekend threats from the pro-Palestinian hacker 0xOmar. It's the latest volley in the escalating hacker-on-hacker pissing-match currently drenching the Middle East in leaked credit card information.
Today's attacks weren't very impressive; they briefly took down the websites of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and El Al Airlines, but didn't impact service in either cases. Still, they've captured headlines because of their place in the ongoing 'cyberwar' being waged between two groups of teen hackers on either side of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
This all started started in early January, when a hacker claiming to be a 19-year-old Saudi going by the name 0xOmar leaked about 15,000 Israeli credit cards and claimed to have a million more. Besides his burning hatred of Israel, he seemed like a pretty normal teenage geek in our chat with him, with a penchant for Xbox and web design.
In retaliation for 0xOmar's attack on Israel, an Israeli teen going by the confusingly-similar name 0xOmer leaked thousands of Saudi credit card details last week. He claims to be an Israel Defense Soldier working with a team of three others. 0XOmer's crew is now joined in battle against 0xOmar by an another pro-Israeli hacker named Hannibal, who just leaked the Facebook login info for 20,000 Arab users onto Pastebin. But 0xOmar says he's getting backup, too, from some Palestinian hackers named Team Nightmare, who may have been behind today's attacks.
Meanwhile, these teen nerds' squabbling has provoked Israel into basically threatening to assassinate 0XOmar, and Hamas is jumping on board, urging hackers to keep hitting Israel. This will no doubt spur lots of scary talk about cyberwar and cyberterrorism. But this is not war or terrorism; stealing and leaking personal info is large-scale cybercrime that happens pretty much every day. Today we learned hackers stole the personal information of 24 million Zappos customers. A shitty, illegal thing to do—but not a declaration of war on our nation's bargain lovers.
Man goes on rampage at Wendy's after they get his order wrong
A man went on a rampage in a Wendy's burger store in Auckland, smashing tills and sending staff fleeing for safety on Friday.
David Junior Ilolahia, of Blockhouse Bay, is to appear in court charged with threatening behaviour, assaulting police, disorderly behaviour and resisting police, nzherald.co.nz reported.
Staff at the Lynfield store locked themselves in the office when Ilolahia smashed tills and threw furniture around after querying a "very large order" he was reportedly charged for on Friday. It took five police officers to subdue him.
Auckland police also reported a serious assault during a fight in Bates St in Papakura, in southern Auckland, about 1am on Saturday.
A 23-year-old male was stabbed with a broken bottle and was taken to hospital with injuries which were not life threatening.
Woman auctioning off her butt for a tattoo
The listing has become a viral hit, attracting more than 170,000 hits and bids of more than $8,600 - Ms Beznec plans to give 20 percent of the proceeds to charity.
She says the winning bidder will win the right to have whatever they like tattooed on the 9x9cm patch of skin, adding: "I'm just trusting the winner of the auction will not do anything too stupid."
"I think it's amazing that, you know, it's gone global. Gone viral over the internet. Several different countries have tried making contact with me. Everyone's talking about it. It's quite a big topic. So, yeah, it's awesome," said Tina. So far, design proposals include brands and promotions, "property of..." tags and self-portraits.

The doctor who claimed red wine was good for you was lying
You can't trust anyone these days. I had relied on the reported science regarding the healthy benefits of drinking red wine and spent a fortune stocking up my cellar with red wine. I learned to enjoy a nice glass of wine with a meal. Give a glass of zinfandel, cabernet, roja, meritage or malbec. Now I find out that the doctor who say red wine is a way to slow aging was a big fat liar.
Dr. Dipak Das from the University of Connecticut, who released many studies focused on the positive effects of red wine on the aging process, was found to have committed more than 100 acts of "data fabrication and falsification," according to a university investigation. In other words, he lied, and now his research is being called into question, and all of us drunks are going to die miserable, alone, and young.Well I'm giving up my red wine and you can fuck yourself Dr. Das.

It's getting tough to be a woman in Israel
Israel is a liberal democracy where for years women have been fully integrated into society including the Israeli Defense Force. This does not sit well with the growing ranks of the country's ultra-Orthodox. They are a small minority in the country but their high birth rates and large families is creating a demographic time bomb.
A number of recent incidents indicates that the ultra-Orthodox have been flexing their muscle with regards to the women's lack of modesty and prominence in Israeli society. The incident that has become a lightning rod for feminists is the story around Naama Margolese, an 8-year old student from Beit Shemesh. She was recently walking to school when she was bullied and spat on by a bunch of religious extremists in her neighbourhood because they were unhappy with the way she was dressed. Her family are secular Jews but modern Orthodox, though not ultra-Orthodox which appears to be a source of friction. Students say they are physically accosted and jeered at by dozens of men in black hats almost every day.
But there have been other ungly incidents including:
- Organizers of a recent conference on women's health and Jewish law barred women from speaking from the podium, leading at least eight speakers to cancel.
- Professor Channa Maayan was to receive a book award. She knew that religious people would be in attendance so she wore a long-sleeve top and a long skirt. But that was hardly enough. Dr. Maayan and her husband had to sit separately and she was instructed that a male colleague would have to accept the award for her because women were not permitted on stage.
- The chief rabbi of the air force resigned his post because the army declined to excuse ultra-Orthodox soldiers from attending events where female singers perform.
- Protesters depicted the Jerusalem police commander as Hitler on posters because he instructed public bus lines with mixed-sex seating to drive through ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods.
What's ironic is that the ultra-Orthodox do not even recognize the state of Israel. They refuse military service and decline to work, all while having six to eight children per family. Yet they accept or better yet demand government subsidies or welfare so that they can study Torah while supporting their large families. In fact they have a significant political influence because Israel has never had a majority government so religious political parties trade off support for parties on the left and right in exchange for subsidies. This is very unsettling for many Israelis.

For Ł10, it is at least four hours long with a smile inducing story - who doesn't like pirates!? - and the gameplay without Clank's help is rather good fun. It is a little bit tougher than Tools of Destruction too, which gives the player a more compelling challenge.
I say, go for it.

Support for employees on pay protection
If you're on pay protection, we're committed to providing support to help you achieve your previous pay levels and to help you with your career progression.
Our policy on pay protection can be found attached to this page.
This provides two years' protection for an employee's basic pay where it is reduced as a result of:
- organisational restructuring
- redeployment into a suitable alternative vacancy where the individual is at risk of or under notice of redundancy
- redeployment into a suitable alternative vacancy on ill-health grounds
- the introduction of a revised pay and grading system.
Note that other terms and conditions of employment will be those of the new job.
Guaranteed interview status
If you are on pay protection you will receive guaranteed interview status for vacancies at the same grade or below as long as you meet the essential criteria of the job, provided there are no essential or statutory qualification requirements and there are no employees at risk of redundancy eligible for priority interview.
Please note this may not apply to jobs in schools.
You should identify in your job application that you are on pay protection and have guaranteed interview status.
If you currently receive redeployment support and pay protection as a result of appointment following an organisational review, this will continue until the current protection period ends.
Note that guaranteed interview arrangements will not apply to jobs which constitute promotion.
Portable pay protection
You may be thinking of moving to a job on the same or lower pay but with better prospects.
If you do, we'll continue to protect your pay until the agreed date, as long as the move is likely to ultimately result in the removal or reduction of your pay protection and the vacancy is a job that is covered by single status.
You should discuss with your line manager or the recruiting manager if a vacancy is suitable prior to applying.
Jobs which are advertised internally are advertised on Dnet under the internal vacancies section which you should check regularly for new postings.
Some employees will be able to access Dnet online using their network log-in details.
If you do not have access to Dnet, ask your manager to help you access the information.
Internal vacancies are also advertised at our centres around the county.
Externally advertised vacancies can be viewed on this website and you can sign up for email alerts to new postings (opens in a new window).

As you approach the end of your pay protection period, you may want to consider the impact of reduced pay on your pension entitlement if you are within 10 years of your expected retirement date or of leaving the scheme.
The scheme provides for pension benefits to be calculated using final pay which is the annual average of the best three consecutive years ending with 31 March, within a period of 13 years ending with the last day of scheme membership.
It is important to note that you need to opt in to this 10-year pension protection period by completing an option form.

Oakland Athletics (22-24)@
San Francisco Giants (26-19)

AT&T Park
Attendance: 42,152
Game Leaders
L: Anderson
(2-4) 3.18 era
W: Lincecum
(4-4) 2.06 era
San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Tim Lincecum sparkled in his fifth career shutout to lead San Francisco to a 3-0 victory over Oakland in the second installment of a three-game set.
It was the eighth career complete game for Lincecum (4-4), who did not walk a batter and allowed just three hits with six strikeouts. After allowing a single to Ryan Sweeney in the first inning, he retired 21 straight batters before Landon Powell singled in the eighth.
Buster Posey, Cody Ross and Miguel Tejada each knocked in a run for the Giants, who earned their fourth consecutive win.
Brett Anderson (2-4) took the loss, allowing one run on five hits and a walk while striking out five through five innings in Oakland's fourth straight loss.
Posey's groundout in the first scored Andres Torres, who led off the inning with a walk and moved to third on a double by Freddy Sanchez to give the Giants an early one-run lead.
That would be the only offense they would need with Lincecum on the mound.
But San Francisco did added a couple more runs in the eighth. Brad Ziegler started the inning and allowed a Posey single to start the inning. Posey then moved to second on a Pat Burrell groundout and came home on a Ross single.
Jerry Blevins then entered and allowed a single to Aubrey Huff to put men on the corners with one out. Tejada followed with a sacrifice fly to score Ross and make it a 3-0 game.
The A's only had a man reach second base once in the game when Coco Crisp took second with two outs in the ninth on a defensive indifference. Sweeney then struck out looking to end the game.
