1st off this is a concealer not a color corrector so it may not camouflage dark under eye circles; u need a salmon colored corrector to fix that. 2nd the general consensus is that this is cheap. So if u didn't like if u didn't break the bank. For me I don't have heavy under eye circles so this works great ESP on my waterline! Also as an e/s primer & lip primer or wear on its own ppl won't be able to tell if ur wearing MAC Painterly or a $3 DS stick! It really makes for a fresh doe-eyed look w black eyeliner. I had no issues w tugging or being hard. Mine is creamy. I have oily skin but no probs. it was between this vs. CG stick & im glad I didn't spend the xtra on CG. I have this in Medium which is neutral not yellow not pink. My HG!! Right up there w elf's cover stick. Portable fits in any purse...I need to buy 1 to keep in my purse. This is 1 of those products I don't wanna be w/out! Don't apply it to broken skin coz it will contaminate ur stick. I wipe mine off ev so often & sanitize w alcohol. This is perfection! Easily found in any wnw display at most DS.

It works well for me. I know other reviews on here say that it doesn't cover acne marks, but it does the job for me. I occasionally get very large, red pimples and this covers them fine for me. For the price, it is very worthwhile.

I've been buying this concealer for over 3 years and I still love it! I don't know why people say it doesn't cover their acne scars when this products does cover great. I use this concealer under my Dermablend foundation and it covers every single scar! and sometimes I use it under my Mac Matchmaster foundation and it covers everything as well. It costs under $3 and works better than any other expensive concealer. Its worth it!

If you hate this concealer so much and plan to throw it away, don't!! I bought this concealer on a whim as I forgot my makeup bag while on a trip and desparately needed something to cover up my blemish. I love Wet n' Wild eyeshadow so I thought it could be a steal since it's only $2 at Walmart. I was wrong. This is by far the worst concealer I've ever used. It's stiff, hard, the color is weird and emphasizes line and pore!! However, I tried it as an eye primer, and it works!! It doesn't crease all day and make eyeshadow color pop. So I think if I run out, I probably will buy it again.

I bought the medium shade and it is a very close match to my skin. It can be slightly warmer but overall it covers well. My gripe with this is the consistency. It is very hard to apply it straight from the tube without it feeling like it is tugging on my skin so blending is necessary and I agree that you get better results by warming it up. Failure to do this gives me streaks which is not a good look. If I wear it daily I get breakouts. I love the price but will have to pass.

Glides on smoothly, covers up pretty good, and matches skin tone. I wear it everyday. I recommend this product.

This product is very hard (stiff, not creamy, doesn't glide, etc.) To really make the product work, your have to warm it up so i don't reccommend this.

This concealer has a great price...unfortunately, that's the only thing I liked about it.
The concealer itself is way too hard to apply straight from the tube, which kind of eliminates the convenience of the stick packaging. You can heat it, but unless you heat it for a few good minutes, be ready for some serious tugging.
It also applies super-sheer, almost like a BB foundation or tinted moisturizer. There isn't much blending you can do with this. It's either apply it perfectly straight from the tube, or wipe it off when trying to blend it.
I have to apply this TWICE, then apply foundation, then apply it AGAIN, then set it with powder to prevent it from settling into creases. It's way too much work for a concealer. WnW has some fantastic products for an unbeatable price, but this just isn't one of them.

I think I may have to give this another try. While I am not a fan of stick concealers since Max Factor stopped selling in the US and did away with the Erase coverstick, which was my holy grail of concealers, I still am looking. Stick concealers last longer than liquid and a lot of them tend to be waterproof. Even when they aren't labeled as such.
I tried this and it does indeed drag on the under eye area. I don't think I was using it properly since it didn't seem to cover well at all. I'll buy it again since it's only 1.99, but for now I'll stick with their Cover All Liquid Concealer.

So picked this up at my local cvs, its cheap, but works pretty good. Texture is a little dry but glides on your skin just fine. It really sticks on your face, and wont go anywhere! Very good coverage where ever its applied. I like how it works around my eyes best.

A Park Falls, Wis., man wants to bequeath personal property and other belongings to the village of Fox Point - a proposal elected officials were at least receptive to while discussing the issue Tuesday.
A decade ago, Kenneth Leindecker expressed a desire to be buried at Old Dutch Cemetery, a property near Doctor's Park along the lakefront, because other family members are buried at the site. Leindecker's wishes were approved by passage of a resolution.
By default, the historic cemetery is under the village's purview, and staff members maintain the site.
Through his attorney, Leindecker more recently expressed a desire to will the assets of a life insurance policy, historic documents and his 30-acre Park Falls property to Fox Point upon his death. The full value of all of Leindecker's assets are not known.
The board took no action during Tuesday's discussion, but staff members were directed to look into the issue further.

After a months-long campaign, new traffic signals have been approved along two intersections of Williamsburg's Kent Avenue to increase safety for pedestrians, State Assemblyman Joe Lentol (D-Brooklyn) announced today.
"It's been a long wait, when you're talking about the safety of kids," Lentol said.
On the Manhattan side of the Williamsburg Bridge, trouble awaits riders ready to rejoice at their pedaling prowess and continue westward along Delancey Street through Manhattan.
The local authorities are sticking to the traffic pattern, which allows bicyclists to go north and south only. They are ticketing anyone who deviates.
Members of the adoption community gathered in Boerum Hill on Wednesday for a special event. Adult adoptees, adoptive parents, first parents, adoption activists and allies read personal letters to express different view points and collectively give voice and expand the adoption narrative.
Issues surrounding the land along Prospect Heights' Atlantic Avenue, including the land upon which the Barclays Center rests, continue to play out in court. Earlier this month, a judge valued at a portion of the property at approximately $9.2 million, opening the possibility for the development of a 12-story budget hotel.
Brooklyn Historical Society (BHS) and Brooklyn Bridge Park (BBP) have partnered to create a marker and interpretative signage project that reveals the history of the Brooklyn waterfront and highlights the ecological and sustainable features of the park. The markers and signs were unveiled at a ceremony on Wednesday at BBP's Pier 1, located at the corner of Old Fulton Street and Furman Street in Brooklyn. BBP President Regina Myer and BHS President Deborah Schwartz were joined by local elected officials, community members and BBP and BHS board members.
My former colleague Raanan Geberer seems to have forgotten what he knew about the history of Brooklyn Bridge Park. Back in the 1980s, even before the Giuliani and Pataki administrations, community park advocates recognized that the park would have to find a way to pay for its own upkeep if there was any hope of getting the Port Authority to allow such public use of piers that had become a drain on its resources, now that those piers were inadequate for the demands of giant container ships.
Another bidder for Long Island College Hospital (LICH) has been rejected by SUNY.
Late Wednesday, the State University of New York (SUNY) announced it has ended negotiations with the Peebles Corporation in its bid to buy LICH. Peebles came in second in a contested RFP after Brooklyn Health Partners (BHP), also rejected by SUNY.
SUNY said they will immediately begin negotiations with Fortis Property Group, LLC -- the same developer SUNY awarded LICH to in their first RFP round. Fortis bid $240 million for LICH.
Science and technology enthusiasts are heading to Downtown Brooklyn this week for the return of the World Science Festival. Events are taking place for the third year at NYU-Poly's MetroTech campus and in Brooklyn Bridge Park, along with other Brooklyn venues and across the city.
Mayor Bill de Blasio urged parents to take advantage of free, high-quality, full-day pre-kindergarten programs while touring an Early Childhood Education Center in Sunset Park Tuesday.
"Right now, parents are thinking about the summer ahead—but we want anyone with a child turning four years old to be thinking about September," said the Mayor. "There are more options right in your community to apply for pre-K than ever before. It's free. It's easy. But to have the best chance of finding the right program, we are encouraging every parent to apply today."
As Maria Delores Cortes prepares to do battle with her landlord in Brooklyn's Housing Court once again, she takes a moment to prepare for the journey. A home care nurse, she knows she'll need to leave her Bedford-Stuyvesant apartment a full two hours ahead of her scheduled court appearance. The subway is the least of her problems. She needs to factor in the inevitable wait in line before she passes through security, and then the even longer line for the elevator up to the courthouse.

This WGN Radio Petcast celebrates cats and cat adoption. Listen HERE (may take several seconds to load)
June is American Humane Association's Adopt A Cat Month, a reason for
celebration if you ask me, especially if we can really move the needle. Fact is, too many cats are dying
in shelters. You can begin your adoption search in the comfort of your
home by using your mouse, go to petfinder.com. Tips from petfinder Goddess and co-founder Betsy Saul.
Once you adopt that cat, what are the appropriate medical
considerations? Dr. Jane Brunt, executive director of the CATalyst
Council answers. She also talks about the sad truth - cats don't receive
nearly as much veterinary care as they should; on average, visiting the
veterinarian less than half as often as most dogs.
Too many cats hardly
ever see a veterinarian.
Available to all (free) through the CATalyst Council site, CATegorical Care: An Owner's Guide to America's #1 Companion. Simply click HERE.
Once you adopt the cat - then what? Cat behavior consultant Darlene
Arden offers a step-by-step for a proper integration in the household.
Arden is the author of "The Complete Cat's Meow: Everything You Need to
Know About Caring for Your Cat." We also discussed myths about cats, and
other ways which a cat might enter your life.
Real People, Real Pets: I stop people on the street and ask, "Who's smarter, cats or dogs?"

On Sunday, "The Axe Murderer" Wanderlei Silva will step inside the UFC Octagon for the 7th time in his MMA career, this time fighting Cung Le in the co-main event of UFC 139 in San Jose, California. Thirty-five year old Silva won only twice in the UFC, via TKO against Keith Jardine and Unanimous Decision vs. Michael "The Count" Bisping. Siva and Le share 40 KO/TKO victories (Le's Kickboxing record combined), which promises MMA fans at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California, a sure Fight of the Year candidate.

They're masters of the rock power ballad, and their songs like Still Loving You, Send Me An Angel and most notably Wind Of Change were worldwide hits. The Scorpions' album Love At First Sting (1984) even went triple platinum in the USA.
The band came together in Sarstedt (near Hannover) in 1965 and spent many years working their way up and playing any number of concerts. Their first album wasn't released until 1972 but then came live successes in the UK, Japan and the USA. The creative trio – Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine and Matthias Jabs – who have made Scorpions a world brand have been together since 1979. In 1990 their rock ballad Wind Of Change became the musical symbol of the fall of the Berlin Wall and sold over 10 million copies. Since 1999 Scorpions have been working with other artists including the Berlin Philharmonic. In 2010 the band began a three-year farewell tour of five continents – 45 years after forming.
What travellers from around the world are saying
Rheingau wineries
Known the world over for its fine Riesling wines, the Rhine and Mosel regions of Germany are home to passionate wine-making families, traditional abbeys where monks and nuns have produced wine since the Middle Ages, and experimental new age wineries. Here are some must stop-and-taste cellars in the region: Schloss Johannisberg The oldest Riesling winery in the region was once a monastery where monks began producing wine over 900 years ago! It is here that late harvest wines were serendipitously discovered in 1775, and on a warm sunny afternoon, you can try their finest Rieslings in an ancient cellar or with a panoramic view of Johannisberg and its vineyards. St Hildegard Abbey The only nunnery in Germany that has been producing wine since the Middle Ages, St Hildegard Abbey, perched on a hill above the popular town of Rudesheim, is an experience. Stop by the majestic church on the premises, walk through the carefully pruned vineyards, chat with the traditionally attired nuns about their austere way of life, and sip some of their finest Rieslings. Kloster Eberbach A Cistercian monastery up until the 1800s, Kloster Eberbach, located near the village of Eltville, continues its wine traditions to this day, while also playing host to the famous Rheingau Musik Festival. Taste wines as you walk through time along the stunning Gothic and Romanesque architecture, and sneak a peek at the historic wine presses once used in wine production. Weingut Allendorf Have you ever considered the role of color on your taste buds? You'll think about it when you sip the same glass of wine at Weingut Allendorf in different colored lights. You have to experience this family-run winery's tastings to believe it, in the twin town of Oestrich-Winkel along the Rhine. Weingut Rossler If you're looking for a hands-on wine growing and tasting experience, look no further than Weingut Rossler in the sleepy little village of Lorch. Follow the Rossler family to their vineyards to help with pruning or harvesting, taste their fine home-made Rieslings in their modern cellar, or sit back at their cozy outdoor restaurant with a glass of wine; everyone knows everyone else in this village and you won't be a stranger for long! Flick Winery aka Queen Victoria vineyard You need a reason to take a detour to the small village of Hochheim along the Rhine, and I'll give you a good one – this is Queen Victoria's favorite Riesling vineyard and Queen Elizabeth was its most recent guest. Meet the Flick family and feel a little like royalty, as you taste their 'royal' wines! Need I say more? Berg's Alte Bauernschanke The only village to grow Pinot Noir (red wine) grapes along the Rhine is the picturesque half-timbered village of Assmannshausen; homed in one such building is Berg's – a horse stable in the 1400s! Konrad Berg, the third generation owner, is a hobbyist wine maker, with vineyards scattered across the Rheingau for different grape variety. Stop by for a glass of wine, indulge in a wine spa and peek into life in the bygone days. Weinsinnig The Mosel is home to the steepest vineyards of Germany, and you don't have to stray far from the quirky city of Trier to realize that. Take in the majestic Roman ruins and the youthful vibe of the city, but don't forget to show up for a wine tasting of the finest Mosel Rieslings at Weinsinning, a charming neighborhood restaurant and wine bar that handpicks and displays the region's best wines on its wine wall. Traditional cider houses Back in the 1500s, the vineyards of Frankfurt were irrevocably attacked by parasites, leading locals to the realization that growing grapes in this soil was near impossible. They turned to apple orchards for wine, and the famous Apfelwein (apple wine) is served to this day in the traditional cider houses of Zum Gemalten Haus and Wagner in Frankfurt's Sachsenhausen district.skaityti toliau »
Rudesheim Wine Festival
For years, my trips to Germany were synonymous with beer. From Munich to Hamburg to Berlin, whichever part of the country I found myself in, I would seek out the sunniest beer gardens and find myself chugging a pint of home-brewed Weissbier or Radler, cheering prost as our glasses clinked, and dreaming, perhaps like any other beer lover, of reveling in the Oktoberfest of Bavaria. Then one day, in a casual chat with a German friend, I was let into a world I didn't know existed in Germany – the world of German wine-makers in the Rheingau region, only an hour from Frankfurt. The next thing I knew, it was mid-August and I was boarding a train to Rudesheim Am Rhein, a town that sits prettily by the River Rhine and is best known for cruise ship day-trippers, to attend the Rudesheim Wine Festival, one of the oldest wine festivals in the region dating back 80+ years! The warm summer breeze of Rudesheim welcomed me as the sun set above the lush vineyards dotting the surrounding hills. The River Rhine flowed along gently, echoing the festivities in the cobbled town square. The wine queens – traditionally the daughters of wine merchants and now ambassadors of wineries in each Rheingau village – had just been crowned and were being welcomed with music and dancing on the stage. Stalls of local wineries, including the 12th century Eberbach monastery and the incidental home of late harvest wines – Schloss Johannisberg – lined the square, bringing their traditions and stories to the visitors. Cheers of zumwohl replaced prost, cozy wine gardens decked with grape vines replaced beer gardens, and old wine cellars replaced microbreweries. My discovery of Germany's lesser-known wine culture was just getting started! The four days of Rudesheim Wine Festival felt like the gentle unwrapping of a precious present. One afternoon, I found myself hiking with the locals in the vineyards of Rudesheim, greeted every now and then by local wine makers for a taste of their finest Rieslings. On another, a wine merchant invited me to a special parade of wine queens and wine makers across the town and its vineyards. Nights were spent sampling Rieslings and tales of bygone days with the local wine growers, as the church bells tolled to compliment German music and the aroma of freshly baked flamkuchens. But the highlight of the festival came unexpectedly on the last night, when most visitors had retired home, leaving only the residents of Rudesheim to celebrate centuries of a close-knit wine culture. Three generations of each family descended upon the town square, held hands and sang songs about Rudesheim and the Rhine, cheered the wine queens and wine makers on stage, and danced unreservedly into the night. I felt far from Bavaria and yet in the heart of Germany!skaityti toliau »

Blutenfest des Rotes Moselweinbergpfirsich
We hebben éven moeten oefenen, maar na een tijdje rolde Rote Moselweinbergpfirsich vanzelf uit onze mond. Toch kan je in Cochem ook gewoon Rud Peesche zeggen, het plaatselijke dialect voor deze kleine perzik met haar robijnrode vruchtvlees die overal in de Moezelvallei groeit. Terwijl de wijngaarden er nog kaal bijliggen, zijn de roze bloemen van de Moezel-Wijnbergperzik al een fleurige voorbode van de lente. Goed nieuws voor de plaatselijke wijnboeren dus, maar ook voor al wie dol is op perziken, want dan wordt er in Cochem smakelijk gefeest.skaityti toliau »
Voor de ene is het een stukje Frankrijk in Duitsland, voor de andere is het een stukje Duitsland dat ook in Frankrijk niet zou misstaan. Wij houden het bij typisch Duits met een stevige Franse twist: Saarland. De kleinste Duitse deelstaat ging een paar keer over en weer tussen beide landen, was tweemaal op zichzelf en werd in 1957 definitief bij Duitsland ingelijfd. Het resultaat is een grensoverschrijdende kruisbestuiving van savoir-vivre en savoir-faire die zich vooral in de lokale gastronomie laat gelden. Wij trokken in Saarland letterlijk van de ene rijk gedekte tafel naar de andere, gingen er tafeltoeren en lieten ons galant overtuigen van het feit dat je van 'een schone tafel' wél kan eten.skaityti toliau »

Though this is what I consider a light weight jacket, the first time I tried it on I could tell it is going to be nice and warm. It has a soft lining and is just right for mild Southern winters. it would be perfect if it had a hood! Its simple, yet stylish. I like it! Reasonable price too.
I bought this jacket and picked up one for a friend when we went on a river cruise in Europe. It was just the right weight for late summer/early fall and we both were very happy with our choices, red/black for me and blue/aqua for her.
Jacket as described, great price, will buy again from Faded Glory.
I ordered mine in black--honestly not the most attractive ,feminine jacket ,but I love it. Worn it several times already.Keeps me warm and dry.Perfect fall jacket.
This jacket is SO good, I can't stop wearing it! I expected to have to hang it up shortly after I got it, due to the changing weather. The lining keeps me SO warm, I'm almost too warm! I love it! The fit was perfect, with just enough room if I should want to wear a bulkier top. It's perfect for those 40-60 degree weather days! It was one of my best values of the year, and I'm good at this! LOL!
I love this Navy / Turq. Reversible Jacket. The sizing is true and on me fits below the behind which is comfortable for driving. It is a wonderful value for the low price.
outstanding overall rating.Was informed by email when shipped and dates. Item arrive on time.
Its a little smaller than what the size says, but its a really pretty jacket. I bought my mom an XL but looks like a medium.
exceeded expectations. a nice light weight coat that is pretty one side and sporty the other. for the price, unbeleivable
great jacket at a great price. I am very happy with mine and I use it every day in these windy cold winter days in Tucson, AZ. I bought the blue and it is so pretty. the inside of the jacket is so soft that I don't use it as a reversable jacket at all.
this is a very good light weight jacket.
The description says that it is reversable in black and white. However, it is black and black (like the picture, which I hoped was wrong). I think I will be sending it back.
I like the jacket Even though it is reversible I don't think I will ever reverse it. It is a little long for a short person. Get a color; it will be less boring.
I have done something I thought was unthinkable. I bought clothing online. I have bought something without trying it on or touching it. I was amazed to find out it is just as advertised but even better. This coat is outstanding and to say the least I'm very satisfied.
I love this jacket. It is so soft on the inside and it fits me very well. I bought if for work and It is great. It is very roomy and comfortable.It is comfortable when lifting my arms and moving around. It is really warm so it's not suitable for a warm day windbreaker. The pockets are also deep enough for my cell phone to stay put.
Just what I wanted.Great jacket.
Jacket didn't look as nice as picture
This jacket is perfect!
It is light weight but warm and very comfortable!
Being reversible is a wonderful plus!
This jacket is perfect as long as it's above freezing and I don't need down. It's stylish, comfortable, warm, easy to move in, and reversible to boot. The price can't be beat either. It's my favorite every day jacket.
I bought this jacket to replace the winter jacket for walking my dog. The fleece lining keeps me warm, and the outer lining allows me to wipe away any stains from my dog. I also use this jacket for running errands. Durable zipper! I am a size 8 and the medium fit well. It is a great value. I plan to go back and buy the blue jacket.

The invention relates to a transmission projection screen comprising a transparent substrate having a front surface which is provided with mutually parallel ribs from which light issues during operation of the screen, grooves being present between the successive ribs, in which grooves an amount of light-absorbing particles is disposed whose average size is at least 20% of the width of the grooves measured halfway the depth of these grooves.
The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a transmission projection screen.
Such a screen is used, for example, for displaying images or alphanumeric data which are projected on the rear surface of the screen, for example, by a lens systems with one or more cathode-ray tubes or by a film projector. The transparent ribs located at the front surface focus the light rays which are received from the rear side and which issue via the apexes of the ribs. The grooves between the ribs remain dark. In order to avoid reflection of ambient light from both the front side and the rear side of the screen, which would reduce the contrast of the image to be displayed, a light-absorbing material is disposed in the grooves.
Netherlands Patent Application No. NL 8600042 describes a transmission projection screen and a method of manufacturing such a screen, in which method discrete black particles are deposited and fixed in the grooves. The black particles consist of, for example, soot or a ferritic material and have a dimension of maximally 75% of the width of the grooves measured halfway the depth of these grooves. These steps were taken to provide a transmission projection screen in which there is only a very slight optical contact between the light-absorbing material and the substrate with the ribs, thereby leaving the light output of the screen substantially unaffected while improving the contrast.
It is an object of the invention to provide a transmission projection screen whose diffuse reflection of ambient light is less than 6.5%, thereby further improving the image contrast.
This object is achieved in accordance with the invention by a transmission projection screen as described in the opening paragraph, which screen is further characterized in that the light-absorbing particles located in the grooves are divided into two layers, the first layer comprising particles having dimensions from 20 to 50% and the second layer comprising particles having dimensions from 75 to 125% of the width of the grooves measured halfway the depth of these grooves.
In order to obtain a screen having a substantially reduced reflection, it is efficient for the particles in the first layer to be in contact with the particles in the second layer, for example, via an adhesive layer. This reduced reflection is obtained because the layers act as blinds.
Unlike the projection screen described in Netherlands Patent Application No. NL 8600042, the light absorbing particles, particularly the second layer, are not entirely situated in the bottom half of the grooves. Although this leads to a reduction of the light output, the presence of two light-absorbing layers reduces the reflection to such an extent that a substantial improvement in image contrast is obtained.
Due to the relatively large dimension of the particles, few particles are needed to obtain the desired light absorption. Because of the small number of particles there are only few contact areas between the particles and the walls of the ribs. The maximum particle size is dictated by the wish that the particles should penetrate the grooves as far as possible in order not to absorb the light issuing from the apexes of the ribs. Limiting the size of the particles is also desired in order to homogeneously fill the grooves in a longitudinal direction so as to obtain a screen having a smooth appearance. On the other hand, by using large particles it is precluded that any light-absorbing particles remain on the apexes of the ribs, for example at the location of a possible lens structure.
A further object of the invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a transmission projection screen having light-absorbing particles in the grooves, in which also relatively large light-absorbing particles can readily be deposited in the grooves. An additional object of the invention is to provide a method by means of which any type of light-absorbing particles can be deposited, even if they are not provided with a synthetic-resin layer.
This object is achieved in accordance with the invention by a method which comprises the following steps:
a substrate having mutually parallel ribs is coated with an excess of light-absorbing particles having dimensions of from 20 to 50% of the width of the grooves measured halfway the depth of the grooves,
a brush is moved over the screen in the longitudinal direction of the grooves, so that the light-absorbing particles are pressed to the bottom of the grooves and the excess particles are removed from the screen,
an excess of light-absorbing particles is provided onto the screen, which particles have dimensions of from 75 to 125% of the width of the grooves measured halfway the depth of the grooves,
a brush is moved over the screen in the longitudinal direction of the grooves, so that the light-absorbing particles are pressed to the bottom of the grooves and the excess particles are removed from the screen,
the screen is coated with an amount of an adhesive which suffices to fill the grooves, which adhesive has a low solids content,
whilst drying the adhesive, connections are formed between the light-absorbing particles and the walls of the grooves and amongst the particles themselves.
The light-absorbing layers must penetrate the grooves as far as possible, for that reason they are separately applied and pressed with a brush, after which the adhesive is applied.
An advantage of this method is that after drying the adhesive layer does not have to be sticky, consequently the screen obtained is hardly sensitive to contamination, for example, by dust.
The choice of the adhesive is dictated by the materials used for both the substrate with the ribs, and the light-absorbing particles.
In order to obtain that after drying the adhesive layer does not fill the grooves and does not adversely affect the shape of the ribs, the solids content of the adhesive layer to be applied is, preferably, from 0.5 to 20% by weight. Thus, the internal reflection of the light in the ribs remains optimal.
A requirement which must be met by the light-absorbing particles is that they do not resolve into smaller particles when they are subjected to common mechanical treatments such as brushing, because this would nullify the desired effect of the invention. Suitable light-absorbing materials are, for example, soot, ferrite particles, black synthetic-resin particles, black glass beads and short pieces of black glass fibre. The particles may have any shape, provided that the number of contact areas between the particles and the walls of the grooves does not increase. Preferably, particles having curved surfaces are used, for example convex particles, because in general they establish only point-like contacts with the substrate and the ribs. The particles may consist of smaller particles provided that they are strongly bonded, for example by sintering.
The invention will now be further explained by means of an example of an embodiment and with reference to a drawing, in which
FIG. 1 is a perspective sectional view of a substrate having mutually parallel ribs, and in which
FIG. 2a-d schematically represents a number of steps of the method in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 1 shows a substrate 1, for example a polymethylmethacrylate, provided with ribs 2. The screen shown in the figure is flat, but the invention may also be applied to a slightly curved screen. The ribs 2 are provided at the front surface with a lens structure 3. However, dependent upon the desired optical characteristic of the screen the apexes of the ribs may have various shapes. Between the ribs 2 there are mainly V-shaped grooves 4. The grooves may also have, for example, a flat bottom. The ribs and the grooves may be formed on the surface of the substrate by means of, for example, a replica technique which is known per se, for example by means of a curable synthetic-resin composition, for example one that can be cured by UV light. In accordance with an atlernative method, the ribs and grooves can also be formed in a substrate by means of hot pressing. The rear surface of the substrate (not shown in the figure) may also be provided with an optical element, for example a fresnel structure.
In accordance with the present exemplary embodiment, the pitch between the mutually parallel grooves, i.e. the distance measured between the deepest points of two successive grooves is 289 μm, the depth of the grooves 4 is 430 μm, the width of the grooves measured halfway the depth of the grooves is 110 μm.
An excess of convex black ferrite particles 11 having dimensions from 25 to 50 μm is disposed along one of the edges of the screen. The black particles are longitudinally brushed into the grooves by means of a nylon brush having bristles of 100 μm, see FIG. 2a.
The bristles of the nylon brush used all have the same dimensions which are selected so that the bristles can press the black particles deep into the grooves. Because of the desired reproducibility of the method, preferably, a rotating brush is used whose pressure on the screen can be accurately adjusted, and along which the screen is moved by mechanical means.
Subsequently, an excess of convex black ferrite particles 12 having dimensions from 100 to 125 μm is disposed along one of the edges of the screen. The black particles are longitudinally brushed into the grooves by means of a nylon brush having bristles of 400 μm, see FIG. 2b.
Next, a 2.5% by weight solution of a polymethylmethacrylate in, for example, ethylacetate/isopropanol (volume ratio of the mixture 1:1) is applied to the surface. By capillary action the grooves 4 are filled with the adhesive 13, see FIG. 2c. If necessary, the excess adhesive is removed by means of an absorbing, non-fluff cloth.
FIG. 2d is a sectional view of the result obtained after evaporation of the solvent (for example, at 50� C. for 15 minutes). The polymethylmethacrylate adhesive layer 14 is situated almost exclusively at the location of the glued particles 11 and 12. The adhesive layer 14 does not stick after the adhesive has dried.
The diffuse reflection measured at the projection screen thus manufactured is from 4 to 4.5%. For the sake of comparison it is to be noted that the diffuse reflection at a screen which, apart from the fact that it only has one layer of light-absorbing particles having dimensions from 50 to 80 μm, is identical to the above-mentioned one, amounts to 8 to 9% and that the diffuse reflection of a screen without a light-absorbing layer amounts to more than 15%.
The light output of the screen in accordance with the exemplary embodiment is from 53 to 54%. A screen having a single light-absorbing layer has a light output from 57 to 58%. These measurements were carried out on screens having a somewhat rough surface; screens having a smooth surface may, however, have a light output of more than 60% independent of the fact whether they have 1 or 2 light-absorbing layers.
The projection screens manufactured in accordance with the above-described exemplary embodiment have a high light output and a very good contrast, and they are sufficiently resistant to the action of mechanical influences, moisture and cleaning agents.

There are a lot of churches in North Carolina. Every few miles there is another Church, sometimes 2 or 3 in the same block. They all seem to have similar names (in 1 town, the first Baptist Church was on the same street as the reformed Baptist Church), and they all have a little graveyard next to ...

Top 10 Foods That Will Make You Happy
Do you ever just dig into a pint of ice cream cuz you're having a bad day? Yeah…me too.
Did it really help improve your mood? Yeah…Me neither.
Even the happiest people get down in the dumps now and again. And it turns out some foods can actually improve your mood.
According to Cosmopolitan these are the 10 Foods to Eat for a Better Mood:
1. Dark chocolate
Why it's a mood-booster: Dark chocolate–but not milk chocolate–helps reduce anxiety and depression.
2. Salmon
Why it's a mood-booster: Fights depression, helps memory and improves focus.
3. Spinach
Why it's a mood-booster: It protects against free radicals that contribute to low energy and mood swings.
4. Chicken
Why it's a mood-booster: Vitamin B12 in the white meat has a calming effect.
5. Tofu
Why it's a mood-booster: This soy product is great for relaxing tired muscles.
6. Avocado
Why it's a mood-booster: Not only does it contain a mood-boosting serotonin, but also avocado is great for your skin, hair and nails.
7. Greek yogurt
Why it's a mood-booster: Probiotics improve your mood and boost the immune system.
8. Green tea
Why it's a mood-booster: The theanine in green tea is a calming agent.
9. Berries
Why it's a mood-booster: The nutrients in blueberries, strawberries and raspberries help reduce stress and ease depression.
10. Walnuts
Why it's a mood booster: Like salmon, walnuts are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which help fight off depression and mood swings.

"I wasn't sure about this design, I am not a huge fan of everything being pink just because I have a baby girl, however I picked the option for my picture being black and white and it came out so adorable with the pink background. The quality of the paper is great! Very sturdy paper/stationary.I also chose to have our return address put on the envelope and it gave it and elegant look and saved me so much time. I should have ordered more, I only ordered 30 and now there are so many more people I'm thinking I could have sent this to that would've really liked a picture of our daughter rather than a plain thank you card. I wasn't expecting such great quality and such a good looking card so I didn't want to order too many. Now I know what to expect from this company and I will definitely be ordering again!"
"I like writing short and to the point thank you notes and this size was perfect. The design is adorable and the card quality is perfect for a thank you note. You are able to write a good amount without leaving so much blank space which is nice."
"This card is so perfect and dainty. I bought it as a baby gift for a friend. It is great for a baby girl or a big girl! I used an all lowercase font to make it more juvenile and informal. The quality of the paper is better than I expected."
"I ordered these cards for my brand new granddaughter and her Mommie loves them and looks forward to writing short and sweet notes for all the treasures she is receiving from family and friends."
"I bought these thank you cards as they are the match to the Little Visitors Watermelon baby shower invitations that my mom got for my baby shower. I absolutely love the invitations and the thank you cards. The card stock is a nice thick weight and is the perfect compliment to the absolutely adorable invitations. Shipping time was also very good. I got them a few days or so after placing the order. I would order from tiny prints again."

Oh, I get it! Evry 3 months they decide to do the same thing which doesn't work the next 3 months. Then they do that again and again. This is kind of how a corrupted goverment is, printing money over and over, then 3 months later they come with an idea that's the same. The loop in the video tells a lot!

I believe this is quite clever. It makes the viewer watch it over and over to see what the dude says each time, by doing that it gives the viewer the idea that the banks ARE just doing the same crap over and over and over again, and they sorta are.

A 125-mile reach of the South River, Virginia, was contaminated with mercury during the first half of the 20th century. As increased concentrations of mercury have persisted, researchers have carefully studied its distribution in the river biota and estimated associated risks. The present study evaluated the influence of mercury on feeding rate and uptake by the amphipod Hyalella azteca. The test organisms were exposed for 7 days with leaf discs to reference and contaminated field sediment during the preliminary experiment and additionally to Sedimite (a commercial mercury-sequestering agent) amended sediments during the final experiment. The preliminary experiment demonstrated a decreased feeding rate (approximately 35%) of H. azteca in sediment from a contaminated site relative to sediment from a reference site. The test design of the final experiment took advantage of the knowledge gained in the preliminary experiment by increasing the number of replicates, which decreased the type II error rate. First, the results of the final experiment confirmed the results of the preliminary experiment by again demonstrating differences in the feeding rate of approximately 35% between reference and contaminated sediment. Second, the results indicated a lower feeding rate in reference sediment in the presence of Sedimite. Third, an opposite tendency, although not significant, was apparent for Sedimite-amended contaminated sediment. Thus, Sedimite appears to decrease sediment quality, whereas this conclusion is based on the feeding rate of H. azteca. However, Sedimite and its value as a mercury-sequestering agent requires further evaluation.

After you have thoroughly researched the financial issues of the rent-versus-buy decision, let's look at the issue from a different perspective, one involving emotional factors and personal preferences that collectively determine the impact of your decision on your quality of life. These "non-financial" issues are based on your personality, abilities and values. They require careful consideration, beginning with this question: what attributes about the place you live in are most important to you? (If you haven't yet researched the rent-vs-buy decision, see To Rent or Buy? The Financial Issues - Part 1.)
Environment: City Vs. Suburbs
The environment you choose to reside in plays a major role in your quality of life. Consider your personality. Do you like the character of the city, with its nightlife, quaint cafés and diverse cultures, or do you prefer the safety, conformity, green space and free parking in suburbia? Do you prefer to walk to work, take the subway or ride the train? How important is privacy, and how far do you like to live from your neighbors? If you can afford only those properties in environments that do not fit your preferences, you need to think about whether you are willing to forgo these preferences for the sake of owning a place.
Amenities versus Customization
Dollar for dollar, renting generally offers a substantially greater number and variety of amenities than buying. Consider, for example, the number of homes that come with an Olympic-sized swimming pool, clubhouse, tennis courts, basketball court and on-site gym. If you're looking to have these amenities in your private residence, get ready to spend a lot of money. Upscale apartment buildings, found in nearly every city, offer such options at a comparatively lower monthly rent than a mortgage for a property with the same attributes. On the other side of coin, there are affordable homes with private outdoor spaces that you can customize to your liking. There aren't many apartment buildings that come with acres of property in the country that will let you do your own landscaping, keep horses or grow a garden.
Flexibility Vs. Stability
Renting a place to live gives you significantly more freedom to get up and go at a moment's notice. The financial consequences of breaking a lease are minimal and can be addressed by simply writing a check. Homeowners wanting to leave their current residence face the much more complicated process of selling their property. The mortgage still needs to be paid and the grass still needs to get cut while you are waiting to find a buyer. Unless money is no object, the transition to a new place of residence is likely to take months, not days. On the other hand, with the flexibility of renting comes also some instability. The landlord can always raise the rent or ask you to move before you are ready to do so. If you own a house and make the payments, you can stay as long as you desire.
Personalized Aesthetics Vs. Less Work
Buying a house gives you the opportunity to choose a unique and distinct architectural style and to personalize it. But this freedom comes with the responsibility of keeping up with maintenance and repairs. Homeowners simply can't avoid the need to cut the grass and fix leaky faucets. If you prefer to spend your weekends relaxing in the park instead of wandering the aisles at the local hardware store, you might want to think twice about buying a home - unless of course you can budget a substantial amount of money to hire some help.
Although renting gives you no control over exterior aesthetics, you don't have to worry about dealing with wear and tear on your residence or problems resulting from bad construction. Renting still gives you plenty of opportunity to choose furnishings and decorate your interior environment in a manner that suits your style. And, as a renter, all you have to do when something goes wrong is notify your landlord.
Emotional Satisfaction Vs. Less Worry
Homeownership is often called "the American dream". There's just something emotionally appealing about putting down roots, getting involved in the community and having a place to call your own. Of course, homeowners also need to worry about the long-term character of the neighborhood and keep up with maintenance in order to sustain property values. If you're simply looking for a place to rest between days at work and nights hitting the town, renting may be the perfect answer. Just keep paying the rent and let somebody else do all the worrying.
A Personal Decision
Unlike the financial aspects of homeownership, the aspects that have a bearing on your lifestyle and values cannot be calculated online with some mathematical formula. If you can make the rent payments or qualify for the mortgage, you can live anywhere that you want to live. But buying a home is a decision you should take some time to consider, determining how its location, amenities and need for repairs will affect your lifestyle and general emotional satisfaction.

Police bust Brandon duo, seize nearly 400 bags of heroinFebruary 06,2014By Brent Curtis
Staff Writer
BRANDON - A man and a woman were arrested Wednesday and close to 400 bags of heroin were seized during raid at a home on Carver Street, according to Brandon Police.
At 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, police executed a search warrant at 43 Carver St. where four people, 380 bags of heroin and 32 bags of crack cocaine were found. Police say the street value of the heroin was $7,600 while the crack would have sold for about $1,600.
Twenty-eight-year-old Jamie Trinci, who lives at the address, was arrested along with Duvall W. Fludd, 21, of Brooklyn, N.Y. Fludd, who police say uses the street name "BL" was jailed on $250,000 bail due to his lack of community ties, lack of employment and "substantial" criminal history in New York.
Trinci, who police say has only a minor criminal record, was released on a citation. She will appear in Rutland criminal court on March 17 to answer to a charge of possessing heroin.
Fludd will be arraigned today on a felony cocaine possession charge and heroin trafficking.
The other two people found in the residence were released and not charged, police say. Brandon Police also notified the Department for Children and Families because there was a 7-year-old living at the residence.
Police say they moved quickly to obtain a search warrant at the address after they received information that heroin was being sold from the residence.MORE IN This Just In
