So Pretty!
This blush is a gorgeous orchid pink. The 4 colours blend perfectly when the brush is swirled in it. I find it is highly pigmented and long lasting when applied. As always the box is cute especially with the mirror and the magneted closure. The brush is actually quite good unlike some Benefit box powder brushes.
Another excellent blush from Benefit definetly worth your money.

Beautiful blush!
My complexion is lifted once I apply this & it lasts all day (8-9 hours). The colour payoff & pigmentation are incredible, as with all Benefit blushes. The packaging is very cute & quite sturdy. Only downside being the price, but it is an amazing quality blush!

Perfect Pink Blush
Amazing amazing blush! Love the packaging, the colour, even the scent! It's such a lovely soft pink blush, great for everyday look. It gives an extremely natural looking flush, and lasts all day!

Hervana nirvana!
Another one of the many gems in my Blogstar prize box, and my first Benefit blush. I didn't use it for months because it's just so pretty with all the swirling coloured segments, and I couldn't bring myself to disturb the pattern. But I eventually caved, and I needn't have worried because I've used it countless times, and it still looks brand new!
This is one of the most natural looking powder blushes I've come across in my travels. It takes a bit of doing to get enough product onto my brush (about 6-8 firm twists), but it's well worth the effort. The mix of purply pink, apricot and cream hues produces a glow that doesn't shriek "I'm wearing blush!", and it seems to go equally well with pink based lipsticks as it does with more orangey ones, which means it's delightfully versatile.
The packaging is super cute too - the box is sturdy with a mirror inside the lid, and although I don't use the adorable little brush that came with it, I've stashed it away for weekenders when I don't want to carry anything bulky. The $51 price tag is somewhat steeper than I'm used to, but from what I've experienced so far, this Benefit baby box is going to last me a good 2 years :-)

Another Benefit beauty
Another in Benefit's Box O Powder range, this blush has 4 colours in a swirl pattern which you swirl together perfect application for a lavender tinged pink. It is more pigmented than Dandelion but still a subtle pink.
The packaging of this blush is of a high standard, with a nice sturdy cardboard box including a mirror and soft fluffy angled brush for perfect application. The blush is soft and smooth and well pigmented. It is less scented than other Benefit blushes but the scent does not fade much once the box is opened so do give it a swatch and sniff before purchase if product scents bother you.
This is a great blush for many complexions and will last and last.

Poor colour payoff
This is probably the most disappointing benefit blush I've purchased. I've seen a lot of people with fair skin wearing this and I was in love with it. It just looks so natural yet evident. However, when I applied this to my cheeks it did not complement with my skin tone. I have yellow undertones, which is probably the reason why it didn't complement with my skin colour. Hervana kind of reminds me of a paler version of benefit's Dandelion. It is a pure baby pink colour of matte texture. I could safely say that it is no different to Tarte's Dollface.
Personally I love the colour combination in the packaging, and the box looks very cute and fantastical. But the product itself, just doesn't suit me. However, I do recommend this to those who are decently fair. It lasts great lasting power and doesn't look cakey or powdery. I would wish that it has a slight brown tint to it so that it can adjust to my skin.
I certainly woud recommend this to my family or friends, however, I would try and look for a different colour for myself.

This is gorgeous pink glowy blush. Like all Benefit products, the packaging is lovely. The product not only looks good but smells good too. This gives my cheeks a soft natural flushed look. Perfect for everyday wear. LOVE it.

I was lucky to receive this little beauty in my Blogstar prize pack and was super excited to try it as I just adore Benefit but have only tried a few of their products as they're quite a bit pricey for my budget. Anyway this blush mix is so pretty and makes your cheeks look youthful and done but not at all over done. The box has an adorable design with it kept securely with a magnetic closure. The mini brush is designed into the perfect shape for application and is very easy to use. I highly recommend this product and use it all the time. Just love it!

Love this!!
I have only just bought this blush but I own Coralista, Sugar Bomb & Dallas. Hervana is a gorgeous mix of plummy/peach/pink. It has no shimmer at all, and it lasts a really long time. I have found this box blush to be a little smaller in size than my other ones, but comes with a mirror and brush to apply. I throw away the brushes because they shed and are not as soft as other brushes I own. I love the fact that the lid is now attached so you don't have to worry about it going missing. Has a slight sweet smell but nothing overpowering.

Perfect blush!
This blush is AMAZING. The colour payoff, the longevity, and of course the adorable box are all of a level higher than I expected. The colour shows up beautifully and lasts a good 8 hours (with primer!).
Of course, being a Benefit product that packaging is very cute and includes a brush (which isn't bad at all surprisingly) and a mirror in the compact. I think the colour itself would flatter many different skin tones.
The price point is the only downside however, I think that this blush is well worth the money.

Cannot gush enough about how much I absolutely adore the cute blush box!! Its the HG of blushes for me! Was part of my Glosscars pack and my favourite of the pack!
The adorable distinct packaging is so gorgeous! Love the beautiful purple and pink tones of the packaging. Has a magnetic lid and a mirror attached to the lid as well.
It comes with a matching purple brush which works beautifully too. Most brushes that come with products are not this soft and effective.
Love the beautifully glowing flush of colour from the shades in the box -heavenly rose and berry delight. It looks natural and beautiful and lasts all day long.
Well worth the price even if its on the high side because of the high quality of the product as well as how little you need to achieve a good colour. I never used to wear blush much, but now I'm addicted!

So we're making a card for the Boo snake's funeral and we thought it'd be nice to draw the snake he told us about. But I swear I've looked almost everywhere and I can't find out what he's talking about. He says it was a cartoon snake that had diamond eyes that used to pop up and say "Boo! I'm a snake!" We didn't know what he meant then and I still can't find it now.
So if anyone in my tumblr family knows what this is or can find it for me, I'd appreciate it forever! And I'll give you complete control over my blog for the day. I'll spam any fandom you want. Everything I post will be for you!
So please let me know if you guys know what he was talking about! Thanks.

|Purchased one round and one oblong proofing basket. Wonderful look and the good thing is that I can bake two loaves, one of each shape, side by side on my pizza stone. Yes, the loaves did touch as they continued to rise in the first few minutes in the oven, but they were easily pulled apart after baking, each loaf maintaining its form. Excellent addition to any home bakery.

Russia's Upper House Passes Anti-LGBT Propaganda Bill
June 27, 2013 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
On Wednesday Russia's upper house of Parliament passed legislation banning the distribution of any materials thought to promote the LGBT community.
The bill, which passed the Federation House without a single opposing vote, will fine individuals up to 5,000 roubles ($152), officials 50,000 roubles (about $ 1,500) and companies up to 500,000 roubles (about $15,000) for pro-LGBT "propaganda." Organizations that promote the LGBT community via the media or online will face a 90-suspension or face fines up to a million roubles.
The bill passed the State Duma earlier this month and now moves on President Vladimir Putin to be signed into law.
A host of anti-LGBT incidents in Russia and the proposed propaganda law targeting LGBT individuals and allies has out Olympians worried about competing in 2014's Winter Olympic Games, which will be held in Sochi Russia in February.
It's time for the International Olympic Committee to send a clear message to President Putin that this bill MUST NOT become law. Send an urgent letter now to IOC President Jacques Rogge demanding that he take action against discrimination now. Take Action Now.

fast food in town....i like a deli i worked at in highschool called bromas....some millionare in my hometown wanted a mccallisters and they wouldnt build one so he literally copied their menu and changed the name. one of the most successful small businesses in the southeast in a small town in ms. also like warsds and hardees, better known to you guys as carls jr
as far as fast game. squirrel cooked down in the crock pot, seasoned very well with a little apple cider is great.....actuallyy saw the recipe on meat eaters on tv...works very well with rabbit to, i even cooked down some deer ribs with it.
Then there's Little Ceasers $5 hot n ready and my typical McD's meal: 3 Double Cheeseburgers w extra ONION,2 lrg fries a regular coke and a large chocolate shake. Then I'm good to go for a few hours
If you are ever in Jackson Wyoming and want a good Buffalo Steak and good micro brew, Double Barrel is great. It was about 50 bucks for the food and a couple pints, but it was fantastic. There is also a place on the road out towards Alpine that has all kinds of Buffalo and Elk sausages, steaks, salamis and any other tasty way to eat meat.
If you're ever in Jackson Wyoming.
Wow! Mt lion is good. Never figured that one. Hit one last year, blood everywhere but no cat. Some day I get one, had a few chances. How the best way to fix and or process, burger and or steaks.

Right--it actually makes a fair amount of sense on IMAP connections so you don't end up re-downloading large attachments repeatedly, since I'm pretty sure IMAP attachments are NOT downloaded along with the messages during a sync.

Not really. Your comment made me test it - I disconnected from my internet connections and test-opened a bunch of attachments. They all opened no problem, without complaining that there was no connection to the IMAP server. I quit Mail, saw them deleted from the above mentioned folder, and repeated.

Interesting. I stand entirely corrected, then.

Actually you were partially right. The thing is that most email clients have an OPTION that allows you to keep copies of messages with or without attachments for offline viewing.

I have now been carrying my Kahr P45 for a little over a week (after putting 500 flawless rounds through it). I gotta say that I resisted buying this weapon because I HATE the trigger pull length/reset of the Kahr guns!
My dad has been carrying a PM9 for a while now and he just loves the size...I have wanted a smaller EDC for quite some time and although I really LOVE my M&P 45c...it is a bit bulky (of course I did not think the Kahr would be much better untill I tucked it in my belt for a trial walk around the store.
Gotta say, still don't like the trigger. Although I can shoot them just fine I have been spoiled. BUT, I love this gun from a carry standpoint. It is actually taller that the M&P 45compact but the thickness "feel" is 200% better. It weighs substantially less (carries 2 less rounds though) and is just plain paper thin for a .45!
Well, it is a natural pointer for me...the egronomics leave something to be desired but are light years ahead of my 442-2 with my large hands...I shoot it well...it rides light IWB and conceales better than any other .45 short of it's smaller sibling.
My thought was to cut down the frame farther for ultimate concealability but I do not feel it to be at all needed.
Oh, and great night sights as well!
Two thumbs way up for a concealed carry.
Two thumbs way down for a fun to shoot gun..then again it was not designed as a 50,000 round weapon or a race gun...it does what it was designed to do and does it well in my honest opinion.
I wish I had not resisted as long as I did!

Legoland Billund - Polar X-plorer
Polar Land will be the name of this completely new area at LEGOLAND® Billund. The main attraction will be Polar X-plorer, the first roller coaster in the world to combine a 5-metre-drop with an outing among live penguins.
In addition, the area holds a penguin display, a restaurant and the existing Power Builder, which will be transformed into a flight simulator. The expansion is the largest expansion in the history of LEGOLAND Billund and needs a 75 mill. DKK investment (about 10.1 million EUR)
The new area has been developed by the LEGOLAND Park's own designer Tom Christiansen: "New young polar researchers can expect quite a ride in the Polar X-plorer. The coaster has a top speed of 65 km/h and leads guests through an ice-waterfall, past impressive polar animals built of LEGO® bricks, into a giant mountain, just to crash through the ice in a 5-metre-drop. Then speed decreases, allowing guests to enjoy the view of live penguins", Tom Christiansen tells. He is looking very much forward to testing the ride himself.
Only two roller coasters with drops already exist in the world, but this is the first to combine the experience with a zoological element. Polar X-plorer will be the fastest roller coaster in LEGOLAND Billund and will take guests 20 metres up in the air.

Muoio touts successes, critics question leadership as mayor hits halfway point
- 6:13 pm Sunday, May 12th, 2013 by Andrew Abramson
This story originally appeared in Sunday's Palm Beach Post
Mayor Jeri Muoio swept into office two years ago as the ethical candidate who would bring a calming approach to city hall after eight polarizing years of Lois Frankel.
Muoio is proud to have brought efficiencies to city hall, and quality hires, including a new police chief and finance director. And her approach to governing is widely acknowledged as less abrasive than that of her statehouse-seasoned predecessor.
But halfway through her term, Muoio has yet to build a political coalition on the dais to advance initiatives. She finds herself frequently under fire from city commissioners, some of whom openly accuse her of lacking leadership skill.
With 22 months to go before the next mayor's race, Muoio said in an interview that her decision whether to run for reelection is "personal." She said she doesn't feel the need to open a campaign account as early as last time, which she did three years before the election.
"That doesn't mean I haven't made a decision yet," Muoio said. "I'm just not going to share it yet."
Muoio said it's difficult to reflect on her first two years in office but she spent a half hour on Wednesday making her case that she's been a strong mayor who has spent much of her time building an "effective and efficient" organization.
Strong showing in south, west helped Shanon Materio win commission race
- 11:50 pm Sunday, March 31st, 2013 by Andrew Abramson
This article originally appeared in Sunday's Palm Beach Post
See our detailed map of donations to Shanon Materio and Gregg Weiss
Shanon Materio entered this month's West Palm Beach commission race against Gregg Weiss with the power of the incumbency but the challenge of facing an established opponent backed by Mayor Jeri Muoio.
With only 5,139 ballots cast citywide, Materio won the race by dominating in her home turf on the city's south end and competing in the coveted western communities, which — as in recent years — had a greater turnout than any other area in the city.
Materio, who won the race by 8 percentage points and a total of 424 votes, won six of the eight precincts with the highest turnout, according to a Palm Beach Post analysis of the results from the March 12 election.
Materio's biggest wins came at South Olive Community Center, where she won with 80 percent of the vote; Lakeside Presbyterian Church's two precincts on South Flagler Drive, where she won with 76 percent and 69 percent of the vote; and Riverwalk, a western community on Okeechobee Boulevard west of Florida's Turnpike, where she won with 64 percent of the vote.
Jody Young, Materio's campaign manager, said Riverwalk was crucial for both campaigns. Early on, CityWatch, a western-community political action committee, endorsed Weiss. And Muoio lives in Ibis, another western community on Northlake Boulevard, and received 75 percent of the vote in Riverwalk when she ran for mayor in 2011.
Election preview: Materio, Weiss compete for late Bill Moss' commission seat
- 11:32 pm Saturday, February 23rd, 2013 by Andrew Abramson
After Gregg Weiss rattled off a list of his community activism efforts at a city commission debate this month, his opponent Shanon Materio jokingly implied that Weiss was trying to portray himself as Superman.
"Wow, I'm expecting him to take his jacket off and there's no S under there, huh?" Materio said. "No spandex?"
Materio portrays herself as the real superhero in the race, saying she's given the south end the attention she feels was missing under long-time Commissioner Bill Moss. Materio was appointed to the seat in May following Moss' death.
But Weiss threatens to be Materio's Kryptonite, racking up all the major organizational endorsements from the unions and business groups for the March 12 District 5 race, as he tries to become the first city commission candidate to defeat an incumbent since 2002.
"I've just gone in and presented myself, my qualifications, my involvement in the community, and the organizations that have been interviewing me have chosen me because they believe I'm the best qualified person," Weiss says.
Materio insists she has widespread support and has deep roots in the city after living there for 35 years.
Mayor: No June 5 election
- 2:47 pm Thursday, April 5th, 2012 by Andrew Abramson
Mayor Jeri Muoio said it will not be possible to hold a commission election on June 5 to fill Bill Moss' seat. Muoio said there will be an election for the seat, but she's not sure yet whether it will be in August, November or next March.
Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher said the city cannot hold an election later than June 5 because her office has to prepare for the August congressional primaries.
"I thought (June 5) was an unrealistic time," said Muoio at Thursday's commission inauguration ceremony. "I don't think we can have the discussions we need to have and the thoughtful research and discussion on it. If the supervisor had allowed us to have the discussions we need to have and the thoughtful research and discussion on it; if the supervisor had allowed us to have a June 18 date, we could have done it."
That means the commissioners will likely have to appoint a new colleague in the interim. Residents have feared that the appointee will follow in the footsteps of Muoio and Sylvia Moffett, who were appointed to the commission and then became incumbents and were elected to full terms at an apparent advantage over others. Muoio said on Monday that she didn't want to put someone else through that scrutiny.
But before Thursday's ceremony, Muoio said there are residents interested in the appointment who say they will not run for the seat. While the city cannot legally order an appointee to stay out of an election, Muoio said there are "honorable" residents interested in the appointment who wouldn't run.
Muoio talks about budget woes, new Wal-Mart at chamber breakfast
- 8:40 am Thursday, April 21st, 2011 by Andrew Abramson
Update The new Wal-Mart will be at the Aqua Terra site, the empty lot just south of the Palm Coast Plaza.
Just three months ago, the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches endorsed Molly Douglas for mayor, marking one of the only times in the mayoral race that Jeri Muoio became publicly angered.
Yet there was Muoio on Thursday morning, addressing an overflow chamber breakfast at the Palm Beach County Convention Center with members of the business community lining up to hear the new mayor speak and Muoio talking about the need for a good, healthy relationship between herself and the chamber.
While Muoio wasn't as entertaining as former Mayor Lois Frankel (Frankel worked hard to get laughs out of crowds), Muoio presented a surprisingly meaty presentation.
Mayor-elect Muoio unveils transition team (see photos, read bios)
- 12:52 pm Tuesday, March 29th, 2011 by Andrew Abramson
Mayor-elect Jeri Muoio unveiled her transition team on Tuesday who will "establish her new administration and implement her plans for the city."
The transition team will work with Muoio's during her first 100 days in office. She will be sworn in on Thursday.
According to a release, Muoio "was careful to select people who also have no conflict of interest with the city, would not directly benefit from their involvement and are all willing to offer their time and service as unpaid volunteers."
Muoio has met with the group members for the last two weeks.
"I wanted diversity, I wanted people from different areas of the city. That's just sort of how it grew," Muoio said. "I didn't want any of the usual suspects. I wanted it to be different from the same people we've seen in other transition teams – people who can take a fresh look at these things."
Here's a look at the team. What do you think?
Sheriff Bradshaw comes out to support Muoio for mayor; Frankel's not running, Muoio says
- 9:55 pm Monday, September 27th, 2010 by Andrew Abramson
Voters might not know how to pronounce her name yet (it's Moy-o), but Commissioner Jeri Muoio received a boost in her quest for mayor after a quasi-endorsement from Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw.
Bradshaw said he's not officially endorsing Muoio for the March race, and he might not do so unless she needs it, but he had high praise for her at a campaign event at Bradley's on Monday evening.
"Look at all the candidates," said Bradshaw to a crowd of more than 50 Muoio supporters. "She's the most educated of the group and she knows budgets and has worked on them already. Her integrity level is unquestionably the best of anyone in the race."

I second that - it's a beautiful color palette.
WIP (sort of tutorial to be) : Climates, applying Geoff's Cookbook at detail (some)
I second that - it's a beautiful color palette.
Now Ive finished the lower half of the heightmap for one of the large continents. I havent put mountains on, but the brownish areas are where mountains would lie. Im not sure if I'm spreading out mountain ranges too evenly across the continent, whereas earth is alot more asymetrical, with much bigger flat areas. What do you guys think? Too many mountains/not enough flat sealevel areas? I like what Ive come up with, but I dont know how unrealistic looking it is.
Also, the biggest brown area will not actually be filled with mountains, but more of a high and mostly flat plateau.
Looks great, the coloring and everything.
I feel like there's too much mountains. It could be a feature of this world, it could be quite young and have had little erosion. I really like where the ranges lie, though. You know, when I look at this, I can't help but think of a huge pool of lava, that has been whisked and frozen. That would explain the weird/absent tectonics as well. Pondering on this, the contintents would lie where the moon has twisted off the planet... Sorry, I'm getting carried away.I havent put mountains on, but the brownish areas are where mountains would lie. Im not sure if I'm spreading out mountain ranges too evenly across the continent, whereas earth is alot more asymetrical, with much bigger flat areas. What do you guys think? Too many mountains/not enough flat sealevel areas?
Maybe that's your answer. Unless those huge ranges are simply plateaus?From looking at earth heightmaps, all you can really see are the biggest mountain ranges sticking up and thats about it. Anyway let me know what you guys think.
I think I am mostly comfortable with having a very mountainous world. It is fantasy anyway, and it makes for something a bit interesting/different than what has been done before to a certain degree.
Wow, just started checking out this thread, you have a great looking map coming. I especially like the land shapes; I immediately thought of Izanami and Izanagi churning the ocean with the Heavenly Spear to make the first land. And Japan is significantly mountainish, I don't think you have to worry about your topography. Er... geography. Ehhh, some technical term that I don't know. Height maps, I'll say.
As I haven't really been able to figure out what elevation my heightmap represents, I decided to take a map of earth and convert it into a 10-level heightmap that I will use for reference while building my own heightmap with the same levels/colors. The heights are a pretty rough estimate, but I think it should be fine for my purposes. If anyone sees any blaring problems with the levels Ive denoted on earth, please let me know. I am aware that the sealevel is slightly lower than it should be, but like I said, this is very rough and is just to help me get a rough estimate of where my height levels will go. Also note that these levels do not correspond to the heightmaps I have recently posted, I have yet to go back and adjust those to match earths. I may have to redo some or all of my own heightmaps.

Nice looking and useful. Creating a thorough heightmap like this one for an imaginary planet, though, is a huge task.
Here is my first new heightmap area done, next to northern New Zealand, which I used for reference. Still haven't perfected the art yet, but I feel like its a big step up from my last few images.
One thing I realized as I was doing this, though, is that you can make out some river basins/ravines in the heightmap. I haven't done my rainfall yet, so I haven't been able to figure out where most rivers will form and won't form. But, I feel like I need a good heightmap in order to accurately predict rainfall. So its a bit of a conundrum.

Top quality food, very fast preparation time, clean place. Brown rice is also available as a healthy option. My most favorite is the sweet & sour chicken, the chunks of chicken are big and juicy. NOT your average chicken. Looks like they buy like they're making it for their own home meals. For me, I save this place for special events because it requires some travel to get there from Boro Park, but when I crave it I am very happy that they will deliver for an extra five dollars, because we are about twenty minutes round trip from them. ENJOY YOURSELVES! Yochannan

food was extra bad. svc poor too
Posted by Avi on 12/26/2012
Long story short, the waiter was a total ditz, my sister's egg roll was room temperature but she was so hungry she ate it, it was the first thing to come out. Then her soup came and it was cold, so we brought it to the waiter's attention after he was done taking another table's order which took way too long. His response, "Do you want me to warm it up?" Anyways, ten minutes later my soup came out, it was alright but at least it was hot. The restaurant was basically empty, why so long? Finally the main dish came out, maybe 15 minutes after that and I asked the waiter for hot sauce, it never came. Meanwhile the next table over asked for hot sauce and he got it right away. I kept quiet and decided his tip would reflect the service but the bill came with a mandatory 18 percent tip, I was furious. I disputed it with the manager, he took off a few points. I was still feeling upset so I took all the mint candies. It's petty but it made me feel better. I'm not ruling out ever eating there again but it won't be soon.

I've always loved Chinese food, this by far is the best! Food is delicious, price is reasonable and staff is great!
Posted by Anonymous on 12/03/2012
Very noisy patrons, children allowed to run around, with parents yelling at them from their table. The staff did nothing, made the other patrons feel it was not our place to comment. Turns out it was a friend of the Manager. Service was very poor, had to wait for the waiter to return though the restaurant was practically empty. Food was tasteless unless you like sugar and salt. I would never return

All the food was delicious! I highly recommend the crispy combo and string beans! What a meal

New Style Pencil Skirts for Women 2012Sponsored Links
Here are new style pencil skirts for women trend 2012, Chic pencil skirts are an eternal favorite of women. Pencil skirt is a specific style of skirts that is the most voguish trend this year. This kind of skirts are narrow and fitted skirts that are broader at the upper edge and narrower at the bottom edge. Dress shirts are best for the classic look, and could be a good office wear. The heavy materials like wool, when worn with this skirt, are very much appropriate for cooler climates. Pairing long pencil skirts with a floral top or any printed top spices up the look for a more lively appeal. The simpler the shoes, the better to pull off this look. Too strappy sandals or gladiators may cut the lines of your legs and ruin the slender look. Especially for woman who are short in height, wearing these skirts makes them look like they have long legs. These skirts are generally paired with white tops and high leather heels. There are many other ways of wearing these skirts. Here we're going to disclose the latest top 8 trends' ideas going to be a big fashion in 2012
Fashion Populer Today :high waisted skirts (79),pencil cut skirt (38),pencil skirts (32),uspkirts 2012 (29),formal skirts for girls (21),pencil skirts 2012 (13),latest skirts 2012 (13),skirt pencil (10),stylish pencil gowns (1),the latest women skirt and top (1),

Explore the Sanctuary Results - September 27, 2014
A nice sunny day but a bit hot for the longer courses. We had 60 starts with quite a lot of groups and many doing more than one course. Total competitors about 70.
The meet was part of National Orienteering Week and we had a draw for two pairs of trail shoes donated by IceBug. They were won by Joan Hoskins and Alan Young – congratulations!
The new O-suits were also on display and on sale – nice design, best get in fast before they all go.
No-one got all controls in the long score within the 90 minutes but Peter Gagarin came close, missing only 2 low value controls with a score of 560 out of a possible 590.
Thanks to Craig for helping vet, set out and pick up controls, Liz for help on registration, Ching-Hua for helping out with e-punch, Ed for doing his usual good job on instruction and Andy and Jeff for help with control pick up.
And thanks to the Westmoreland staff who, as usual, did a great job in making it a success.

HVO event at Highland Museum - September 20, 2014
Many newcomers and perfect weather
About 85 people turned out for 68 starts, including a lot of second starts. Families, boy scouts, West Point Prep cadets, and individuals enjoyed the day and the courses at this beautiful Orange County location. We hope to see you back again next weekend for our second event of National Orienteering Week at Westmoreland Sanctuary, Mt. Kisco, NY. See the schedule for more information.
Volunteers: More than a dozen!!! Thanks first to Geof Connor for handling the computer so that we could use the electronic punching. Next, thanks to Janet and Glen Tryson for yeomen's jobs on a very busy registration table. And to Bob Bullions for helping hang controls, get people off on the right foot at the start and more. Thanks, too, to Jeff Osborn (registration), Daniel Schaublin and Dave Webber (control pick up), Guy Olsen and Ed Hicks (instruction and Ed some course design), Craig Weber, and to George Hawes (course setting, control hanging and pick up, instruction and more) It wouldn't have been such a great day without all of you. Special thanks to Museum of the Hudson Highlands and Alicia for the venue and the day of event help! Betsy Hawes, MD.
Results by course
Note that where the number of controls collected in the Score event were equal then the fastest time actually wins e.g. Daniel actually beat Glen even though they are shown as equal first.
Some entrants were unsure of the procedure in the score event. Some tried to collect the controls in the order given on the score sheet instead of in any order and, because the control numbers were not shown on the master sheet which some entrants copied from, some entrants punched every control they could irrespective of whether it was on the Score course or Orange etc. The results reflect only controls actually included in the score event.
Splits by Win Splits
Note that splits for Score are meaningless as they only measure time (and common controls) and not number of controls.

New HVO uniforms
New HVO Club O suits- Summer 2014
Over the past several months we have been in discussion with several different vendors about new custom HVO OTops. It was important that it was a Quality product, well-made and well-designed. Our Last O top (2006-2008 eras) did not last very well and the colors bled once it was washed and the material was not very breathable but the price was good at 40 dollars.
Selected New Vendor: Of the three vendors, Noname was selected They had got back in touch with me without me having to call and email them more than once and I figure if that was there customer service at the start of the process that I would prefer to work with them over the long term.
The design selected was from a stock item and just modified to include our name and color .If anyone wants a club logo to be included email me the pdf file and it can get added. There is no minimum order to place with the manufacturer. The delivery time of the custom made o-tops would be about 2 months to deliver. Order date needs to be before July 21th 2014 for us to guarantee to have delivery in time for the North Americans and our HVO A-meet.

HVO Event Report - Eagle Rock, June 22, 2014
Event Director: Guy Olsen
Course Setters: Kseniya & Nadya Popova
Course Vetter: Sergei Zhyk
Helpers: Michael Ayzenberg, Greg Balter, Geof Connor, Tim Cutler, Niyant Dalal, Judy Dickinson, Betsy & George Hawes, Bob Rycharski, Maryjane Stout, Eric & Ryan Thies, and Albina & Peter Zekrevski.
Weather: low 80s, sunny, ie, beautiful!
Starts: 78
Participants: 116 (plus ED, CS, CV & 2 others who did not go out on a course)
Dear Readers,
If I had to sum up this event in two words, they would be...
Patch works!
That's Patch as in Patch.com, the local news and information internet platform. In Essex County, NJ, there are 10 community-specific Patch sites, and I posted HVO's event on every one of them. The result was 23 first-time orienteers, on top of the 37 others who came out Sunday. Given that there were 116 people overall, 60 of them being new is a sizeable share. I also sent press releases to local weekly newspapers, and the Star-Ledger, northern NJ's biggest daily.

TEOC Results - May 18, 2014
Local event at Moneyhole/TOEC
Now, this was some real green: Finally the leaves were out and the partially dense Moneyhole vegetation added even more green.
The event was part of the traditional Mountain Laurel Outdoor Rec Fest at the Taconic Outdoor Education Center. Several participants tried their first orienteering course and went right out for a second course. It's great to see how they enjoy the adventure of discovering the woods with a map.
The advanced courses looped into the scratchier and rocky parts of the Moneyhole map. Several people learned that what might look like an easy course on the map is trickier once the map contact is lost and one tries to relocate in the middle of nowhere.
Many thanks to our reliable team around meet director Betsy Hawes with course setter Bob Bullions, Geof Connor and Liz Chiera (e-punching). Tim Cutler and Daniel Schaublin helped with registration and control pick up was handled by Liz Chiera, Geof Connor, Craig Weber, and Declan Hennelly. Betsy Hawes did the instruction. We are also grateful to be part of the TOEC festival that gives us an opportunity to present orienteering to newcomers.

Ward Pound Ridge Results - March 22, 2014
So we got lucky with the weather – snow mostly gone and a nice Spring day. This was reflected in the numbers, 109 competitors for 76 starts.
All courses were popular with winning times about where they should be – a tribute to course setter Craig's good estimation of orienteer's pre-season fitness.
Heartfelt thanks as usual to Trailside Museum curator for the use of the museum. Thanks also to Craig for the great courses, Tim and Craig for manning registration all day, Liz doing her usual efficient job on the computer, Pat for helping out where needed and Liz, Pat, Judy, and Andy for help in control pickup.

68 participants, 38 starts
It was a beautiful day, but very cold, hardly moving above freezing. We weren't able to make any ice cubes of the participants, though, and when actually moving it wasn't bad at all. (Back at registration, download, and starts it was a different story!) We had orienteers of all levels of proficiency. JROTC kids who missed the event last week, scouts from a couple of troops, families both experienced and not…all had a great time.

This event wouldn't have been so successful without a lot of help. Special thanks to Cadet Cody Stamm and all the West Point Cadets from the USMA Orienteering Club who spent most of the day helping with registration, instruction, e-punch control, and finishes. They were fantastic! Also, special thanks to Park Ranger Joe Cangelosi for making sure we had the use of the lodge in the park. That really made the event run smoothly and provided needed heat and bathrooms. The e-punching crew seemed tireless, all the controls were picked up at the end of the event and are ready to go out next weekend, and the JROTC cadets did their usual great job of "policing" the grounds.. There were some glitches, but not too many considering the numbers of participants.
Congratulations to the winning teams and the winning schools in the JROTC part of the event. You are welcome to come to other meets with your families and friends.

FDR Score event Results - November 2, 2013
We had beautiful day in F. D. Roosevelt State Park on Saturday. Over 80 participated, including 36 cadets from North Rockland JRROTC, led by Cpt. Mike Zimet. Carl Gebauer brought several Boy Scouts from troop 376, along with their parents.
Thanks to our devoted staff of volunteers. Geof Connor set the courses, set out controls, helped run the e-punch results, then picked up controls. Liz Chiera also helped with e-punch and control pick up. Chris Osborn ran registration with help from Jon Osborn. Jon also helped vet and pick up controls. Thanks to Tim Cutler from NJ for picking up controls, and learning the e-punch system

There were 7 "perfect" runs in the long score with the fastest being Andrew Wibmer (sorry Craig, their was a "glitch" in the software (it happens!) which put you first instead of 6th).
Two perfect scores in The short score with Paul Bisset the fastest.

HVO's New Pricing for Groups
In order to encourage all group participants to have a meaningful orienteering experience at HVO local events, the Board of Directors has adopted a new pricing policy, which includes providing each person with a map.
A 2-person group (regardless of ages), in which at least one person is an HVO member, will now pay $7; 2-person groups with no HVO members will pay $12; these fees will include 2 maps.
For each additional person, age 8 & over, the cost will be $2 -- regardless of age or membership -- and they will also receive their own map.
The new policy took effect on November 1, 2012. The first event to see its implementation was Silas Condict Park, on Sunday, November 18, 2012.
A sample table of costs can be found here.

Great Turn-out on a beautiful Fall Day
Hudson Highlands Nature Museum, Cornwall, NY
Saturday, September 28, 2013
It was a perfect fall day at the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum for the 77 people (58 starts) who went out on the courses designed last year by Bob Berg. 31 of those starts were on the White course and many of those completing the White went on to try a second course. Rich Sweeney ably handled the registration and Bob Bullions got the participants out on their courses. Betsy Hawes gave beginner instruction and George Hawes handled the finish. Nadia Popova helped with the control pick-up. The staff of the museum manned a refreshment sale and helped with producing the copies of the maps and control descriptions needed. A great time was had by all!

Hudson Highlands Nature Museum, 23 September 2013
The day started chilly, but warmed up quickly as almost 30 seniors and Shoprite representatives played map symbol bingo and then did an exercise for orienting the map. After that they headed out on the courses. We had one start on Brown and one on Orange with the rest on White. Nobody was lost, nobody came back early, and a great time was had by all. The lunch provided by Shoprite was great!

Highlander & Lowlander - 9/22/2013 - Results
"Racing, Tumbling, Aching Through Silvermine"
As Joe succinctly put it "a bit rough around the edges but generally OK". There were over 90 starters in the two races. Perhaps the best moment was seeing expressions and moans at the start when everyone looked at the maps - first leg 4.5K!
Congratulations to Zachary Schroeder and Alexandra Jospe for being the winners of the main event and Ken Walker and Evalin Brautigam in the Lowlander.
Also congratulations to Mary and Eric Smith who, as Glen noted, started the run in the summer and ended it in the fall.
Apologies to the 5 runners who got to control 1 after 2.5 hours and found just a streamer and 1 empty cup and no control. Our mistake, a communication error. And yes, we review things and see that we can do different next time.
The food, as usual, was sufficient (anyone want 3 packets of thawed burgers?), sumptuous (eating while trying to catch the breath and to somehow walk?), filling and tasty thanks to the Bretons, Liz (soup) and Chris Osborn.
Many thanks to Daniel for all the preparatory organization, Joe for course setting etc, Alan and Daniel for help with control hanging, Geof for being the day of event director and SI expert (plus taking on many other important tasks), Liz on computer, Nadia, Ksenya, and Erin for control pick up, Betsy and George for manning transition.
Now for 2014!

Hudson Highlander & Lowlander 9/22/2013
Ready for the Marathon in the Woods
The assembly area for the Hudson Highlander and Lowlander 2013 is at Silvermine in Harriman State Park. Plan to arrive around 8 AM. The walk to start is at 8.40 AM, start for Highlander & Lowlander is at 9 AM.
Remember to download meet notes (pdf). There are no paper copies at the registration.
There might be one or two wet stream passages, especially if rain is moving in. Consider preparing your feet with vaseline or waterproofing them otherwise (this also works against blisters).
Cell phones: You are allowed/encouraged to carry a cell phone, but do NOT use the GPS or any map application. The cell phone number of the event director is listed in the meet notes. Use it in case of emergency. Cell reception in Harriman is limited. Sending text messages works better than calling. Also go to higher elevations to use the phone.
Safety bearing: The way we use the area, there is no given safety bearing. Use your estimate/judgment what the next larger road might be. Then take a rough bearing west, south, east, north, east and north (that's the real sequence, it won't help you much to guess the course...)
Food: There are many water stops along the race course. There is one manned transition at 13 k where you can pick up your own food/drink/shoes. Be prepared with snacks/gels for the second half of the course.
We are looking forward to see you on Sunday for this challenging and amazing race in Harriman State Park.
For directions go to the calendar page.

Westmoreland Sanctuary - 9/07/13 - Results
A relatively poor turnout for such a beautiful day for orienteering, about 40 starts on 7 courses. The idea of a second yellows seemed to work well as an intermediary from Yellow 1 to hardish Orange.
All the advanced courses were difficult, as the times suggest; as advertised for red but apologies for brown and orange. In retrospect I should have dropped at least one control in brown to avoid a nasty climb and descent (course vetter Craig had suggested this - my bad)
Many thanks to Craig for vetting and helping set out. To Liz on e-punch and Betsy and Bob on registration and Liz, Bob and Judy for help in control pickup. Also thanks to Steve from Westmoreland for his help before and on the day.

Dulcimer enthusiasts spread music, fun and fellowship
By SUE WATSON
There is music in the hills that can be said to have originated there – in Appalachia. The dulcimer – a four-stringed instrument that is picked or strummed in the lap – made its debut sometime in the late 1700s to early 1800s, according to Forrest Smith of Booneville.
He's been spreading the dulcimer and its music for about 10 years over North Mississippi through the North Mississippi Dulcimer Association. There are about 20 chapters and 400 members. Play is casual and can take place at a festival, in a church, at a state park - really anywhere there is an invitation extended.
"People just come when available, so it's always a new and fresh group," Smith said during an interview recently at Wall Doxey State Park.
The association met at the park October 3 - this is the second year in a row - then spent the afternoon at Burton's Sugar Farm where about 14 people from seven different clubs played their instruments.
The association has produced a music book and a musical arrangement which enables anyone to play.
"You have to be able to count to 10 and have two fingers," Smith said. "It sounds the same as somebody who has a doctorate in music."
The dulcimer is played in a key of D most of the time. The dulcimer, a diatonic instrument, plays the melody while bluegrass instruments play the harmony, he said.
The association doesn't play the bluegrass style, but play folk music and hymns or traditional bluegrass. Contemporary bluegrass is left for folks who like to play fast. Smith said most of the association's members are senior citizens.
It takes about three weeks to make a dulcimer. They are usually made of walnut and the second most popular wood is cherry. Each dulcimer has its own voice and can be played to almost speak the words of a song.
Smith plays a dulcimer made of magnolia.
"The darker the wood, the more base, and the lighter the wood, brighter the sound," he said.
The clubs perform nearly 500 times a year, which makes for interesting travel for Smith and his wife Eileen. There are clubs as far south as Philadelphia.
He said half the people who show up at a dulcimer playing event and who learn to play, have a dulcimer stuck back in a closet.
Holly Springs has a club that meets the second and fourth Thursdays from 2 p.m.-4 p.m. in the Marshall County Library. New players are welcomed.
Estelle Gadd of Potts Camp is president of the local club.
"Everybody who learns about the dulcimer has discovered the clubs by accident," said Molly Hazel of the Blue Springs club. "A lot of us had them in our closets."
Hazel first met the dulcimer group at Tishomingo State Park.
The dulcimer historically is an instrument that is learned by ear, and some clubs won't accept members who don't play by ear, Smith said. People with disabilities - arthritis, missing fingers, and multiple sclerosis are able to play the dulcimer using the system of notation used by the association. No musical background or talent is required.
"We will loan them an instrument, teach them to play and give them the music, all free," said Smith. "It's the cheapest show in the world. Buying gas is a different thing."
With 20 clubs, individuals interested in dulcimer playing and all the fun, food, and fellowship that goes with it can usually find a club close to home to be a part of. Other clubs in this area are found in Booneville, Corinth, New Albany, Oxford, Pontotoc, Ripley and Tupelo.
Estelle Gadd helped start the dulcimer group in Ripley and after remarrying Ganus Gadd of Potts Camp, she asked Smith to start a club in Holly Springs.
"It means a lot because we older people don't have a lot of places to go or things to do," Gadd said. "Nothing costs anything. We go to nursing homes, churches and weddings."
The club in Holly Springs has about 25 members and some of the group play somewhere almost every night of the week and sometimes several times a day, she said.
Members of the North Mississippi Dulcimer Association just returned from an annual pilgrimage to Mountain View, Ark., held for dulcimer players each September.
The members play around the courthouse square in the daytime, go out to eat and usually play there, and return to the square for more music, she said.
