The NDP's Quebec challenge
How can the NDP hold its Quebec support without alienating the rest of the country?
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Canadians outside Quebec can try all they want to ignore the issue of Quebec's status in Canada, but the matter is not settled. The Bloc Québécois knows this, and the NDP understands that its own future depends on how it navigates this tricky territory. This is why the Bloc introduced a private member's bill that would repeal the Clarity Act and the NDP countered with a proposal (50 per cent plus one) anchored in its own eight-year-old Sherbrooke Declaration.
Actually, the NDP only half understands. And, in a sense, it's the wrong half. The NDP's challenge is not in Quebec, but rather in the rest of Canada: if it keeps doing what it has been doing, the NDP will likely retain the bulk of the historic support that it garnered in Quebec two years ago. But if the New Democrats are to defeat the Conservative party, it is outside Quebec that they need to grow. And to do that, they can't allow themselves to step into the traps that other parties will lay using such bait as the Clarity Act.
Responding to the Bloc with its 50 per cent plus one solution, the NDP is merely affirming its established policy, which is going to play fine in Quebec. But it is also inviting a backlash in the rest of the country, which all other parties are only too happy to feed. Given current understandings of what Canada is and the visceral distaste that most Canadians outside Quebec have for Québécois nationalism, the backlash is unavoidable.
This means that whenever somebody sees fit to wave the Québécois flag for all Canadians to see, the NDP is going to get hurt. It's going to get hurt not in Quebec, but rather everywhere else. This also means that either the NDP will work hard at changing non-Quebecers' understanding of Quebec's place in Canada, or it will fail to grow its support outside Quebec. The Conservatives will stay in power, and the gulf between Quebec and the rest of Canada will grow.
Most days in our political life are spent discussing and fighting about other things. In the routine of partisan debate and parliamentary life, it is often easy to forget that the Quebec-Canada file is not only still open, but also that there is a wide gulf between Québécois and other-Canadian understandings of where and who we are. Considering that just about everybody, other than hardcore sovereignists, wants to forget, it's hard to blame the NDP for its reluctance to bring it up. But for its own sake, and for the sake of Canada, the NDP must start making the Québécois case to all Canadians. And it must start soon.
The year 2015 and the next federal elections will soon be upon us. The Conservatives, Liberals and Bloquistes know that the NDP's Quebec policy is a liability for New Democrats everywhere but in Quebec. They would be fools not to exploit it, especially because it is so easy to do — I'm not telling them anything they don't know. New Democrats would be greater fools not to address it, but doing this is difficult: while others need only stick to the established wisdom, the NDP must change its game. Hoping that the problem goes away and that the other parties let it slide is a lot easier. But it's a recipe for disaster.
Making the Québécois case to all Canadians will require electoral courage, political imagination and strategic vision. It can be done. Canadians everywhere have nothing to lose by recognizing Quebec for what it is, and they have much to gain: namely, a country with a renewed and positive sense of what it is about — one that is embraced by people in Quebec and throughout the rest of Canada. For the country and Quebec, it's a win-win scenario. For the NDP, it's the winning strategy.

CSI Resources
In the financial services industry, technology is constantly changing. As thought leaders, our team of experts believes in sharing industry knowledge to keep our customers and peers informed and ahead of the competition. CSI's staff has diverse backgrounds across many areas relevant to our customers, and our white papers cover the most pressing topics facing financial institutions and other industries we serve today.
Read our white papers to learn more:
Under significant market pressure to boost profitability, banks must increase their wallet share with existing customers and attract more new customers, all in an environment of increasing competition and decreasing resources. That dilemma is old news, but the answer is anything but—in fact, it's transformative. This white paper demonstrates how the latest generation customer relationship management (CRM) solutions instinctively pinpoint customer channel preferences and proactively anticipate individual customer product and service needs.
All federal regulatory agencies in charge of supervising the nation's financial institutions stress the importance of comprehensive risk management. With that in mind, the time has come for institutions to implement a holistic way to manage risk: enterprise risk management (ERM). This white paper will explore one of the most critical elements of an ERM framework—a comprehensive compilation of regulatory agency risk categories—and describe how today's most sophisticated ERM tools can help institutions of all sizes effectively and efficiently identify, measure, monitor and control risk.
An organization's data is a veritable goldmine, but to truly benefit from it, you need the power of analytics—increasingly known as business intelligence (BI) tools. These solutions give financial institutions the ability to translate their available data into actionable business decisions, and use the information they already hold to better recognize customers at a personal level. This white paper examines the various ways in which financial institutions can use BI solutions to increase profitability, reduce costs and provide each customer an individualized experience.
The U.S. card payments industry's shift to EMV is underway. Many banks are still working to understand the affect EMV will have on the industry, as well as how to approach migrating their card programs. This white paper provides insight on EMV specifications, deployment in the U.S., considerations for ATM terminal owners and important business considerations for issuers.
Staying compliant with OFAC, BIS and other watch lists can be a daunting, time-consuming task if done manually. A faster, more diligent approach involves using watch list screening software. For this, you can either build an internal compliance software solution or turn to a third-party company to provide one. This white paper discusses the two options and provides pros and cons to each, so you can make an informed choice.
CSI and cbanc Network surveyed hundreds of Community Financial Institutions (CFIs) concerning their plans to drive revenue growth as compliance demands and technology innovations continue to impact fee-based income. This white paper evaluates the data and provides a tactical understanding of what other CFIs are doing to grow revenue. It also includes a detailed review of how your peers are addressing challenges and changes, as well as additional insight into innovative strategies.
What topics did bankers say were most important for 2015? Our annual Banking Priorities Study represents insight from more than 200 bank leaders on the issues driving change in the industry.
This white paper examines strategies to defend against dangerous cyber criminals: how to recognize both social engineering and external penetration attacks; ways to identify both types of threats; and strategies to protect your network, institution and customers from falling prey to today's sophisticated hackers.
Consumers are speaking out on social media every day, but many financial institutions are missing the conversation. In this white paper, we discuss social media best practices for getting involved, managing the conversation and staying compliant. And active or not, banks must adhere to the recent FFIEC social media guidelines for financial institutions.
Your website is vital to your success. Customers use it to research your offerings, it is likely their portal to online banking and you rely on it to market new services. With so much happening online, is your financial institution effectively managing the necessary requirements associated with website compliance? This white paper will shed light on some of the leading website compliance issues and offer ways to manage them.
When it comes to identity fraud, banks and credit unions must expand their efforts toward quashing this growing criminal activity. To that end, this white paper thoroughly examines identity fraud, from pinpointing ways criminals accomplish fraud and how to spot the perpetrators, to best practices toward protecting your financial institution and its customers.
Guidance issued by federal regulatory agencies require that all financial institutions take reasonable steps to ensure they do not knowingly or unwittingly assist in hiding or moving the proceeds of corruption by Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs). Learn how to handle a potential PEP match in this step by step guide.
Over the last decade, OFAC has become a prominent compliance requirement for every business in the U.S. Many recognize the need to implement watch list screening processes to avoid penalties and fines. However, most businesses have no idea where or how to get started. This white paper examines OFAC compliance and best practices for businesses across multiple industries.
Whether you have already taken proactive steps to survive this regulatory change, are just beginning to realize you need to get started, or are not sure how to get started, this paper expands on the high-level macro guidance provided in our last DFA paper to offer you a practical road map.
Read this white paper to learn ways to help your community bank or credit union answer the following regulatory concerns; What are the ramifications of the Dodd-Frank Act on community financial institutions? How will upcoming regulatory changes affect your institution? What steps should you take to prepare for and manage new compliance demands?
The recent financial crisis is slowly fading from our memories, yet its lasting effects continue on. Among all the new guidance, regulations and mortgage rules, another area is garnering increasing attention from regulators and examiners: risk management. No longer, they advise, should financial institutions take a siloed approach to risk management, with each area operating separately from the others. Doing so could possibly foster the type of poor decision-making that led to the financial crisis in the first place. This white paper examines how the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) approach helps both management and the board of directors gain a complete picture—a real-time snapshot—of all risk areas and how they work together to ultimately affect a bank's overall performance.
This white paper examines cloud computing and how financial institutions can leverage it both effectively and securely. It also discusses important factors to consider when examining cloud service models and providers.
A survey of 225 financial institutions by CSI Managed Services and cbanc Network, along with other industry data such as the FDIC Quarterly Banking Profile Report, suggests the outlook for banking in 2012 may be more positive than in recent years. However, financial institutions are still reporting struggles with loan growth and compliance, specifically as related to the Dodd-Frank Act and the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). This executive report examines the survey findings in the areas of growth, compliance, security, and outsourcing/cloud to reveal important trends in banking this year.
Are you interested in the cloud? CSI and cbanc Network recently surveyed hundreds of financial institutions on their view of cloud technology. Our white paper, Executive Report: 2012 Cloud Technology & Services Trends, provides a detailed look at what today's financial leaders had to say—and what value they are finding in the cloud.
Mobile wallet technology is on the rise. Could this mean that plastic cards virtually become a thing of the past? As this new payment trend evolves, financial institutions must understand the ways in which mobile wallets will reshape payments and everyday commerce. Our white paper explains what constitutes mobile wallets, how they work and what your financial institution should be considering.

New Zealand Comedy-Drama "BOY" Deals With Growing Up At Every Age
The world revolving around the titular character of Taika Waititi's BOY is indeed a fascinating place and audiences are invited to immerse themselves in it from that initial, exuberant reception. But as the film progresses, Boy's cinematic world evolves to metaphorically mirror any one of our own intriguing, often dysfunctional realities.
Set in a 1984 rural Maori town on New Zealand's east coast, the film effortlessly blends understated, self-aware comedy, gut-wrenching drama and a few choreographed dance breaks for good measure. Though it's inextricably linked to a specific time and place, however, BOY effectively transcends culture, era and genre to convey what it means to grow up, anywhere, at any age.
BOY's cast of characters, both real and imagined, is at the core of the film's enchanting, engaging world. Boy lives in a rundown house along with his Nan, a flock of orphaned cousins, and his younger brother Rocky, who insists his untamed supernatural powers killed their mother during childbirth.
"I really love films about underdogs who have very small moments of triumph and positive development, but remain underdogs," Waititi, writer, director and costar, writes via email while preparing for the film's March 2 New York premiere.
To get through the everyday chaos of home and the stress of school bullies, Waititi's main character fantasizes about his two greatest heroes: his dad and Michael Jackson. The lines delineating the two obsessions often blur and Boy envisions his long-lost father lighting up the sidewalk 'Billie Jean'-style, or channeling Jackson's 'Beat It' persona by rocking a leather jacket and battling a gang of bad guys. But when his father, Alamein, returns home after a stint in prison, it quickly becomes clear how woefully short he falls of his son's fantasies. As Boy grapples with the dissonance between his dream world and real world, his budding wisdom compels viewers to question which juvenile character truly has the growing up to do.
While heavy themes of familial drama and lost innocence anchor the film, BOY is anything but melancholy. Waititi's subtle, quirky humor, as evidenced by the socially awkward romance of his 2007 comedy Eagle vs. Shark, pervades every scene in BOY. "It was a long process balancing the tones of the film," Waititi says. "The original script was very dramatic; it could have gone to Cannes if I had killed the children or made them diamond miners. But my sensibility is rooted in comedy which is why it had to become a mix of light and dark. In that way it becomes more human, more real. Life is always a perfect balance of comedy and tragedy, it's never always a barrel of laughs and never completely depressing. Unless you're a diamond mining kid."
Incessant Napoleon Dynamite comparisons plagued the popular Eagle vs. Shark, but BOY's dark comedy comes across as refreshingly unique and heartfelt. As the circumstances surrounding Boy's relationship to his father turn grim, the film's unfailingly upbeat tenor provides welcome relief and joy, especially during otherwise somber scenes. In a rare vulnerable moment, Alamein climbs up to Boy's window one night for a sincere, albeit stiff apology. The momentary tenderness is quickly broken, however, when the father nonchalantly mumbles "Love you, see you." The film's farcical tone resumes as the camera then pans down to show Alamein gingerly hop off the shoulders of the amiable pal who'd been silently propping him up the whole time. The friend cheerfully chirps, "All good, bro?" and the two merrily exit the frame. Moments of levity and absurdity like this balance the film's often-intense subject matter and reflect Waititi's sharp, trademark style.
Waititi not only wrote and directed BOY, but plays the role of Alamein flawlessly, in the company of an equally talented cast. James Rolleston infuses the part of Boy with so much genuine naïveté and wide-eyed optimism in the film's early scene, that watching the character's progressing maturity and cynicism is excruciating. Te Aho Eketone Whitu is perhaps the film's standout star in the role of Boy's brother, Rocky. His sincerity and sweetness ("I have to watch out for my powers," he says. "My brother says that's how my mum died, because my powers were too strong when I was getting born.") are at once heartbreaking and uplifting.
The relationships between the boys and their estranged father, as well as their rapport with tangential characters come across as astonishingly authentic. Waititi's script, which was accepted into the 2005 Sundance Writer's Lab, an intensive workshop for independent screenwriters, is solid on its own, but the capabilities of the cast and the chemistry among actors truly sets the film apart.
New Zealand critics and audiences seem to agree that BOY is uniquely superb. The film smashed box office records, becoming the country's highest grossing movie of all time.
"We are inundated with American films and sometimes it can be hard to make something original that isn't derivative," Waititi says. "So to be able to retain your vision and make a film about native kids living in the middle of nowhere in the 1980s, and to have people go and see it multiple times to the point where it becomes part of the national experience, well that's not too shabby at all. Personally, it's like having someone say 'Hey, the stuff you do, it's good.' That's about the level of praise we give each other in New Zealand."
Though the film doesn't hit select U.S. theaters until next month, American reviewers have already had mixed reactions. Many have said the eccentric, self-deprecating humor, characteristic of many New Zealand comedies, doesn't translate in the States. While others, like Variety's Peter Debruge, complain Waititi has "scrubbed away all culturally specific traits from his growing-up-Kiwi comedy."
But BOY's charm is hardly contingent on its ties to Kiwi culture. While there are certainly a number of tongue in cheek, insider references to New Zealand life, and specifically to growing up as a member of the indigenous, Maori population, they don't in any way detract from the film's global relevance. Criticizing BOY for its inclusion or omission of cultural elements entirely misses the point of the movie's far-reaching potential.
Regardless of its cultural specificity (or, according to Debruge, lack thereof), BOYtells a universal story that doesn't and shouldn't depend on geographic location or nationality. Asked what he fears most about showing his film abroad, Waititi answers, "America is a dangerous place so my biggest fear is that the film might get mugged or fat. Apart from that I hope audiences understand our quaint New Zealand accents. I'm looking forward to hearing how people liked BOY, a film from England. I'm joking."
Momentarily putting all jokes aside, he adds, "I don't have any real fears, I know this is a great movie that connects with a large audience."
To help bring BOY to your local movie theater, head to the movie's Kickstarter page and donate what you can. You can also become a fan of the film's Facebook page and follow BOY on Twitter.

No one making reviews cuz we cant live up to your standard D:
One bullet is enough to kill a zombie, what gay-*** dimention do you live in?
This is Sauce all the way.
Not really, and it is fairly realistic. I just wished they could push it more foward, but theres a Tonn of files to change then here. Reload, COmbat reload + empties from all positions, melees and so on.
But I wans next Human Error D:
Super huge muzzle flash blocks too much screen. Nada good.
The gasmask guy rather looks like his right glass is broken.
Mebby I apply for animator :o
Its not really good animations as instead of smashing they rather just rotate around to hit the object. Id rather suggest moving them abit foward on the smash part and moving the idle slightly foward aswell to give abit better look.
Is it a reskinned model from CSS or is it some piece of work?
Matt D is a woman? Trans-vest-ite? Oh god....
Wait, thats just his GF or mom..........
Vampires are just smart zombies. That doesnt infect the same way... LUL
As said, relaxed reloads pend on situations.
Mostly on the code and dev part. On other part they suck.
Srsly. Cant waits.
Stolen from Halo: Reach :D
I think that some of the animations needs tweaking on the "humane" part, maybe fresh up with some variations aswell.
CSS hands sleeved with a nice M4 model...
gut gut
Good work, yet new HUD and animations. and a matching hand-mesh.
Alittle too glossy...
As said, this is TF2 quality. Model is detailed, texture looks plastic (even the metal) and that makes it worth TF2.
Cant wait for final results and animation preview.
Good luck, and a happy thanksgiving even though we do not celebrate that in Norway.
Allthough I came up with a better way of ironsighting, use camera movement instead of bringing gun to middle.
Will look more realistic.
That would be a normal-map / phong error. Too high value I believe. Nice work anyhow..
He lieks to pleh with da dildu up de arse. Wit da hevy. On da levy.
Its not "No. Just No." its "No, Just.... No...."
I know it! its! ITS!! uuuuh, eeeh.... I got it, hang on.... its FFFF um SSS uh RRR!!!!
Sheeeiiiiiiiiit I aint gonna make it, it was basically done but Im in a position where my parents are separated and I have two PCs. And for the last two weeks Ive been without the file.

If you have been reading the financial press over the past week, you know that the global economy's chances are looking a lot more uncertain these days.

Cinnabon CEO and president Kat Cole has published a blog post on LinkedIn about how the brand was one of the few chosen to operate in Sochi, Russia, prior to the start of the Winter Olympics.
Excerpts from the post — available in full here — include:
"We've gotten many questions asking, 'How?!!' 'Have you looked at Sochi on a map? It's kind of ... out there!' ... First, you have to know a little bit about Cinnabon as part of FOCUS Brands. As a conglomerate of six brands doing business in 60 countries (Cinnabon is in 54), we have an incredibly talented international team and strong franchise partners. They develop and build brands overseas, cultivate meaningful relationships globally and in their local communities, and build the infrastructure, supply chain, and support to enable aggressive global expansion.
"Second, you should know that Cinnabon opened over 100 new franchise locations in Russia in just over three years. Considering that expansion, it's not totally shocking that Cinnabon is open in Sochi."
Cole included FOCUS Brands' president Mike Shattuck's keys to success when considering international markets, including:
Cole said this isn't the first time Cinnabon has experienced international expansion obstacles. The brand opened in Libya in July 2012, about the same time the Libyan government was overthrown.
"The franchise partners there stayed committed and were the first to bring an American franchise to Libya. Nothing like a national revolt to test your will. It's now one of the highest-volume Cinnabon locations in the world," she wrote.
Cole concludes with, "There's a lesson here for all professionals tasked with overseeing remote operations. The key to success is having the right business partners who know their markets and invest in being prepared for growth. You can have a great concept, but if you don't have committed local partners, you'll never take advantage of unique growth opportunities."

"Five," Latch called out as he blasted another Tiss'Shar fighter into vapor and wreckage. "They must've just pulled these pilots out of some local dive because they're really not very good," he breathed as he rotated his cannon to follow another bogey. Just then the ship lurched hard to port and he nearly brained himself on one of adjacent bulkheads. He righted himself and shook his head, clearing out the stars in his vision. "Hey Nasai, y'think you could cut down on the herky jerky?" he roared into the mic.
"You want to come down here and drive this thing, Vax?"
the pilot's voice asked him irritably through the headset.
"No, I'm good, thanks," Latch replied, cranking his cannon downward to follow another enemy fighter. It zoomed just beyond the range of his guns, darting underneath his turret. "Arelyn," Latch shouted, "watch your six, bogey incoming!"

A Kingston sex offender is believed to be the shooter in the death of a Colorado police officer.
Limon, Colo., Officer Jay Sheridan, 27, was shot and killed on Wednesday when he and others were serving a fugitive arrest warrant on Dennis M. Hasty, who was living in a trailer park.
Hasty was found dead inside the trailer, and law enforcement said he took his own life after the standoff.
Hasty was originally charged with incest in Knox County in 1990. He served prison time before he ended up in Roane County.
Legislation that would make medicine containing pseudoephedrine available by prescription only has the support of Roane County Sheriff Jack Stockton and District Attorney General Russell Johnson.
Pseudoephedrine is used in the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine.
"That is the primary ingredient, the precursor," Stockton said.
The prescription-only legislation is pending in the Tennessee General Assembly.
Stockton said he believes it would curb the meth problems in Roane County and across the state.
Growing business along Hwy. 70 means more roadwork on the busy stretch of highway.
Earlier this month a crew from Yates Construction dug up a stretch of roadway that served as an acceleration lane for drivers leaving Harriman's Pinnacle Pointe development going toward Kingston.
Teddy Yates said plans are to install a left-turning lane for the physicians plaza that is being constructed across from the shopping center.
"They have to do the road improvements for the development," Yates explained.

Volunteerism is key for Roane County's five fire departments, but the field of those willing to step forward is diminishing.
"We're down to 12 guys who can run calls," said James Grant, chief of South Roane County Volunteer Fire Department. "We had roughly 85 people when I came on 11 years ago."
Though the numbers differ, fire chiefs of the county's other departments echo that problem. According to Grant, it's a crunch felt everywhere.
What some call extravagant digs "up on the hill" at the Rockwood Water, Sewer and Gas warehouse on Church Street has continued to be a topic long after the resignation of former general manager Rod King.
Office space inside the warehouse has been improved in recent years with manpower from the utility staff. Those improvements do include the often-talked-about two flat-screen televisions and faux leather couches.
Two people were arrested March 6 after a high-speed chase ended with a crash in Rockwood.
Nancy A. Lawson of 2541 Linden Ave., Knoxville, and Jason Ray Hackler of 141 East William Circle, Rockwood, were clocked driving 58 mph in a 40-mph zone in a stolen 2007 Chevrolet HHR.
When attempts were made to stop the vehicle, the arrest report indicates that Hackler switched into the driving position heading south on Hwy. 27 into Rhea County and accelerated to "excess" speeds of 110 mph.
Some businessmen might view an empty building next door as a deterrent.
Eddie Lee sees it as an opportunity to give Roane County diners something new and different.
"What have we got around here that's like it?" he said about Pick Up Stix Habachi Express, the Japanese-style restaurant he's preparing to open in the former Shack's Restaurant on Rockwood's North Gateway Avenue.
Cleanup is under way of the building that neighbors the flagship of Lee's Big E's convenience stores.

Good day!
Asked on Apr 04, 2014 - 05:39 UTC
Very lacking the ability to change time tasks by dragging notes on a calendar month.
As in Google!
In my opinion this is a very convenient way to assess the workload of the month.
And, if necessary, modify.
Is there such a possibility in android or windows? :'-(

Unfortunately, that's not possible. The iCal feed is read-only and changes made to it won't sync back to Todoist.
We may consider changing the calendar integration in the future, though and you're welcome to add your request to our Votebox: https://todoist.com/Vote/

I love this remover!
NB; I never use waterproof makeup so if you do, this product won't do anything for you. Now, if you're like me and prefer makeup that will wash off, this is a great eye makeup remover. It doesn't irritate my eyes and it has a nice smell of roses (if you're allergic to prefume obviously this isn't a good thing). Mascara comes off easily without any rubbing or dragging or loss of lashes. Just dampen a cotton pad/ball and press lightly against lashes/eyelids and the makeup will come off. Packaging is ok, price is low for such a good product. Have bought 3-4 bottles of this a year since I first discovered it. Will buy more!

Didn't like this at all. Didn't really remove my makeup. I was wearing eyeshadow and non-waterproof mascara, and it removed neither, although it did smudge everything around the eye area very nicely. And although it's supposed to be "gentle" it stung my eye area and left it feeling rather dry. Even after all the stinging and rinsing and wiping, there was still eyeshadow glitter/shimmer around my eyes. Now I'm currently using Biore, and I like it so much better.

I did not like this product at all, I bought this in sheer desperation one night when they were out of my Neutrogena. It does not take eye makeup off very well at all. I swear by the time I worked my eye area, both eyes were so smeared and raccoon dark, I looked like I had been a few rounds in the ring with Mike Tyson. If anything I swear all it did was redistibute my eye makeup to be smeared all over my face and I went through 1/5 of the bottle and 6 extra large cotton balls and it kept looking worse. I actually had to wash my face with another cleanser (Biore works great) to get the remaining smeared makeup off. On a brighter note, I have found that this was good for any area of my face other than the eye area, but that's where the majority of my makeup is worn- the eyes!....so in reality what good it is really? Maybe I just got spoiled by some of the other products I use, but removing makeup shouldn't be this much work. I won't buy this again...I would resort to soap and water before I use this on my face again. I wish I liked it because the price is very reasonable. I don't agree with "you get what you pay for" because my Neutrogena Oil Free Remover is priced almost the same and works ten times better.

Thank god I got this free... This is like water and fragrance. It does absolutely nothing to remove my eye make-up and I don't wear waterproof. The makeup only spread all around my eyes and stay put on my skin. The packaging is okay though, nothing spectacular for a makeup remover and the price is pretty good too, It is probably the only reason I gave it a 1/5. As for removing eye makeup, it is terrible.

I've kept on trying different removers till I found this product two years ago. I agree, apart from being unable to tackle water-proof mascara, this is a perfect product: nice subtle aroma, gentle enough never irritates my skin. Quite an ideal daily solution. It's now a daily necessity.

I got this as a free-sample a long time ago, and I found it worked pretty well if you only have a bit of eyeshadow on, because it comes right off. But, if you are like me and wear water proof eyeliner and mascara, it dosn't work at all. It took alot of tugging and alot of the remover to get my mascara and eyeliner off, and I don't even wear that much. It IS very gentle though, and there is no greasy feel. If you wear water-proof eye makeup or alot of mascara, I recommend an Loreal's oil-based makeup remover.

I have used this one for many years and it works fine for removing my eye liner and mascara. (I don't wear waterproof mascara.) I prefer Clinique's Take the Day Off, but don't like to spend that much on remover (L'Oreal's costs about $6).
***My biggest tip with this one is....As soon as I open a new bottle of this I pour the contents into an empty Clinique Take The Day Off bottle. The opening on the L'Oreal bottle is annoyingly huge and it wastes a lot of product. It wasn't until I had knocked the bottle over on the bathroom counter several times, wasting almost all of the remover, that I came up with a solution. If l'Oreal won't change the packaging, then I will! The Clinique bottle is the perfect size to soak a cotton ball without wasting solution.

Iris Poudre by Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle
A perfect balance of sweetness with a nice masculinity underneath the powder. It reminds me of... something. but I can't quite place it, although I don't get the Chanel No.5 reference at all, unfortunately. I love No.5 but it smells undoubtedly feminine to me. Iris Poudure, despite, yes, probably smelling like rich women of the 20's, never gave me a second thought towards it's suitability for me as a man. This is a revelation for me, perhaps because I wasn't expecting to love it like some of the more talked-about Frederic Malle's but I adore it. Incredibly beautiful in every sense.

SANIBEL, Fla. – A teenage boy fishing about 50 yards off of Sanibel Beach Monday was bitten by something in the water.
"The kid came running out of the water screaming shark, shark, shark," said Mike Shannon, who has been visiting Sanibel for 35 years. "It was definitely a big shark," added Fred Sorokin. "The shark had to have a mouth probably around this big," he added as he widened his hands about 15 inches apart. "One of the paramedics said that she thought it was a Lemon Shark."
Over the last few weeks the water has turned dark brown due to heavy rains and water being released from Lake Okeechobee. His name has not been released but witnesses say he was fishing and using shrimp for bait, which he had in his pocket out in the surf.
"He sustained some laceration type wounds to his upper right calf, his right ankle area and another one on his left foot," said Lt. William Dalton of the Sanibel Police.
Dalton said there hasn't been a shark bite on Sanibel in four or five years and no one knows for sure what bit him. But others there are convinced it was a shark. "When I walked over to look at him clearly the bite marks were that of a shark," added Shannon. When asked how he knew that he replied, "Just the pattern. You could see the bite marks were on two different appendages."
"It was definitely a shark bite," Sorokin added. "And not a small shark either." The teenager, who was described as between 15 and 17 years old was taken to the hospital. "He was lucid and the officers described him as in good spirits," Lt. Dalton added. "Maybe a little stunned and upset that this had happened but there wasn't any type of loss of blood that had any significant affect on him."
Some tourists we talked with said the incident won't affect their vacation. But others said it would, "Whoooo. Hmmm. Makes me a little nervous about going in the water," said Debbie Casalango, who is visiting Sanibel.
I couldn't help but ask these fishermen what they've been catching and everyone of them said, "mostly sharks."

When I connect it, the mic symbol is always on and nobody can hear me in games.
Here is what I have tried:
- 2 wired headsets which both work on wireless controllers won't work on my wired controller.
- Tried muting, unmuting lots but symbol for talking stays on regardless.
- Unplugging headset and plugging back in.
- Unplugging controller and plugging back in.
- Tried all 3 usb ports.
- Bought another wired controller but got the same issue.
- Borrowed a different xbox, but again the same issue.
So we know the headsets are ok because they work with wireless controllers. The wired controllers can't be the problem since getting 2 faulty ones is too rare. The xbox isn't the problem since I tried a different one (the only similarity between the boxes is they've both had 12V fan mod done).
Is there anyone out there who is successfully using a wired controller with a wired headset? If so wtf am I doing wrong?! :S

Wally Voss read one of his favorite columns in the Swayback Daily Kick and found it referring to "blatantly wrong facts that are being thrown around."
Buck's English: A fact can't be wrong, reader contends
Wally drove straight to Curly's Soonerco and put it before the Sagebrush Academy of Linguistics.
"A fact is a fact," he said as Buck checked his antifreeze. "It cannot be wrong. It can be used in an incorrect context so as to mislead the reader, but that doesn't change the actual fact. A misstatement can be a mistake or a purposeful lie, but it cannot be a 'fact.' Now that I've ranted over what you may consider inconsequential, I at least feel better and will continue to enjoy your column."
Buck mainly agrees with Wally, and has always avoided the redundant expression, "true facts." A fact is true, or it isn't a fact. Or is it?
One definition of "fact" in the American Heritage Dictionary is "Something believed to be true or real." The AHD gives as an example: "A document laced with mistaken facts."

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMPE), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing drugs to treat prevalent inflammatory diseases, such as osteoarthritis (OA) and diabetic macular edema (DME), announced the incorporation and initiation of operations of Luoxis Diagnostics, a subsidiary of Ampio that will initially be funded through a private placement, with Ampio maintaining approximately 80% ownership post financing. Josh Disbrow , Ampio's Chief Operating Officer, will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer of Luoxis. Details about the private placement will follow in the near future.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120516/MM09116LOGO)
Ampio Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Macaluso , noted "The Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) diagnostic device and its patent portfolio has been "carved out" to become the lead asset of Luoxis Diagnostics, an in-vitro diagnostics company focused on the development and commercialization of diagnostics utilizing the company's ORP technology platform to indicate disease severity and progression across a wide range of critical and chronic illnesses. The ORP platform is a valuable asset in which the development of the "point-of-care" reader and disposable testing strips have been completed and multiple clinical trials with stored blood samples from patients with various diseases are underway. Luoxis now needs its own management and financing to launch a comprehensive effort to assure the success of its commercial launch."
Mr. Disbrow, Luoxis's CEO, further explained the strategy "Ampio is a pharmaceutical company mainly focused on treatments for inflammatory diseases.
