1928 Packard 443 Eight news, pictures, specifications, and information
Custom Phaeton
The 'Golden Age' of the Packard automobile occurred during the decades of the 1920's and 1930's. Preserved and restored Packard's of this era are the true classics of today.
The model displayed here was Packard's big Eight for 1928 - the Model 443 Custom 8, with the long 143 inch wheelbase and the powerful 384 cubic-inch 8-cylinder engine. It has a road clearance of 8.75-inches, center jump seats, and a weight of 5045 pounds.
This vehicle has the big drum headlights with matching cowl lights, the combination motor-meter temp gauge and goddess of speed hood ornament, sporty wire wheels, side mounted spares, hood doors instead of louvers, and a long trim design.
This great Packard 443 is an outstanding example of the fine car craftsmanship, engineering and attention to detail that was the trademark of luxury automobiles of earlier times. It is still sound and dependable and will cruise elegantly and comfortably at 45 to 55 miles per hour.
In 1928, this was of the most expensive cars to purchase new in America. To own a brand new 1928 Packard 443 Sport Phaeton would cost $4,250.
Convertible Sedan
Hibbard and Darrin
Carosserie Hibbard et Darrin was based in Paris, France and later in New York, New York; and was founded by Thomas L. Hibbard and his partner Howard 'Dutch' Darrin. In 1928 Hibbard & Darrin introduced a new body structure consisting of aluminum castings called Sylentlyte (silent and light). Sylentlyte was a thin walled aluminum casting system. The four door convertible utilize 10 main castings to form the body.
The Parisian Packard dealer, Monsieur Barbezat, sold a number of Hibbard & Darrin cars, including this car to an Argentinean National. The engine is a 386 cubic-inch Straight Eight. This Convertible Sedan is on a 143-inch wheelbase, has a divider window and is totally unrestored. Once car was built.
In 1928, this was one of the highest priced cars built in America. Selling new for $4250, this particular model, a convertible coupe on a 143 inch wheelbase, is especially rare. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only known vehicle of its kind left in the world. Since it was restored, it has been housed in a climate-controlled garage. Features include original straight eight engine wîth 109 horsepower, self lubricating chassis, cowl lights, rumble seats, title windshield, dual sidemount tires and mirrors, trunk/luggage rack, and leather wrapped springs to reduce the noise.

Custom Phaeton
This 1928 Packard 4-43 Phaeton was purchased new by the current owner's father from Gibbes Machinery Company in Columbia, SC in October of 1928. The current owner's father, who was from Scotland, took the car to England and Scotland in 1929. He claimed it was the first car to climb the hill to Edinborough Castle in high gear. It would later spend 28 years of its life in Sumter, SC.
The car was sold in 1956 to Mr. Jake Nelson of Greenville, SC. At his death it was purchased by Henry Yeska and re-sold to a collector in Pennsylvania. Mr. Paul Ianuario located the car for Mr. Logan, the current owner, in 2004 and re-acquired the car after 48 years.
This car has been treated to a complete frame-off restoration that was done over the past four years and has been brought back to the original colors and with the original accessories. In 2008 it was brought to the Hilton Head Concours d'Elegance where it was awarded the coveted 'Best of Show' award.
Custom Touring
Packard is unquestionably the most famous name of a very long, long line of very superior quality automobiles which has finally vanished from the American scene. This individual car was originally owned by the President of George Washington Úniversity, and is reported to have been used by Pope Pius XII on his only visit to the Nation's Capital.

Custom Roadster
In 1928, Packard was considered the indisputable leader in the field of prestige automobiles, and the exclusive Senior Eight Phaetons and Sedans were the top-of-the-line Packard models. This particular model, a convertible roadster coupe built on a 143-inch wheelbase, was the least expensive body style amiable in the 443 model-lineup, yet it is among the most highly prized configurations today. The Packard 443 is powered by a 385-cid, 109 horsepower straight eight with three-speed transmission.
Town Car
Rollston & Company
Packard called its new 8-cylinder car 'Custom' models for 1928, in spite of the fact that they were not custom cars, nor even limited series models. They were straight from the company's own production lines. That didn't make them any less impressive, as custom coachwork on an individual chassis was available for those with discriminating tastes and VIP status like American celebrities and business tycoons. There were nine standard models in the Custom Eight line for 1928, all riding on a 143-inch wheelbase and powered by a 383 cubic-inch, 109 horsepower straight-eight engine.
This one-off town car was built by Rollston, Inc. and was built for the president of the Anaconda Copper Company of Pennsylvania. Though it was restored in 1984, it retains its original upholstery in the passenger compartment. Its previous owner kept the car for more than 40 years.
Custom Roadster
In 1928 Packard was the dominant luxury brand in the United States with a remarkably broad product line from huge family sedans to this sleek and sporty Roadster. The Fourth Series cars were offered with over twenty different body styles, a plethora of color choices, and options for custom bodies from a variety of coach builders.
The 443 Roadster rides on a 143-inch wheelbase and is powered by a big, L-head, straight eight engine making 60 horsepower. It is a CCCA Full Classic. This example has new paint and top, but original leather in the rumble seat. It also sports the novel golf club compartment behind the doors.
The current owners knew the car from tours in the 1950s and 1960s, but lost track of it when the previous owner passed away. They saw it for sale on the field at the Elegance at Hersey. The new owner had quite the story: Their house had caught fire and burnt to the ground, but a keen-eyed neighbor noticed the smoke and pushed the Packard out of the garage in time, saving it from the fire.
Packard's Third Series Custom Eight debuted on July 1, 1927. In 1928, it was one of the highest priced cars built in America, selling for $4,250. The Model 443 was offered with twelve different factory bodies as well as a variety of custom bodies built by Judkins, Fleetwood, Derham and Holbrook. Three models, including this coupe, were styled by the legendary designer Ray Dietrich. All of these model 443s were built on the 143-inch chassis and powered by the 109 horsepower engine that Packard had introduced in 1923. The Eight was the first Packard to employ four-wheel brakes.

Teenage Dream: High Schoolers go wild after winning private Katy Perry concert for producing their own version of hit Roar
- Katy Perry celebrated her 29th birthday by giving a private concert at Colorado high school
- School won competition by making their own video of her pop anthem 'Roar'
- Perry chose the winning video, which was shot in a single take and featured over 2,000 students and staff
School got off to an early start in Lakewood, Colorado this morning as Katy Perry performed a birthday concert at Lakewood High School.
Appearing in a cheerleader uniform, ponytail and sneakers – and with the band wearing school football jerseys, the singer took to a specially constructed stage in the school's gym.
The lucky Lakewood students won the Perry concert by making a lip-dub video of the singer's hit song 'Roar,' which they entered into a national contest on 'Good Morning America.'
Scroll down for video...
Teenage dream: Katy Perry celebrated her 29th birthday by giving a private concert at a Colorado high school whose lip dub video to her pop anthem 'Roar' went viral
Early school: Members of the band wore the schools 'Tigers' football strip
Perry picked Lakewood High School as the winner. Lakewood High School's mascot is the tigers, so the idea of making a video to the name 'Roar' seemed appropriate.
'For me, Lakewood really embodied a whole school spirit,' Perry said when she picked the contest winner last week.
'I think they brought everyone together and you saw so many different people coming together to do one shot.'
More than 2,000 students from 80 different school clubs were involved in Lakewood High School's entry.
Winning touch: Hundreds of high schools entered the competition but Lakewood's stood. The video, filmed in one continuous shot, features cheerleaders, members of school clubs, sports teams, student council and the orchestra
Winners: The local high school received the rights to host the concert after winning a contest on Good Morning America for a video they produced, showing more than 2,000 students and staff lip dubbing Perry¿s hit song 'Roar'
This Friday Morning: Nearly 3,000 students packed the gym to hear Katy Perry 'Roar' live on Good Morning America
'It was so incredibly crafted,' Perry said. 'The clubs, the cliques, they all came together and did their own individual thing, but it was so interesting and well done and well organized.'
Perry was impressed that so many kids at Lakewood High came together 'to roar.'
'That is what this competition embodies,' Perry said.
Students at Lakewood told 7NEWS that they practiced several times before the big day because it had to be done in a single take.
The school rehearsed for two weeks with 98 percent of the student body taking part in the final video.
After seeing the video last month, Perry Tweeted, 'Oh my GAWD. Now this is what I call school. I hear you roaring LAKEWOOD HIGH!'
Birthday girl: Perry, who just released her new album, 'Prism,' turned 29 today, but said she often feels like a teen at heart. 'I'm 29. I feel great,' Perry said to a packed audience of thousands
Loving every minute: A day of school, the students at Lakewood High, won't soon forget!
Crews spent several days transforming the school's gym into a TV studio and concert hall.
'Were starting to build, to build the stage and the lighting is starting to come. Not only are we putting on a great music performance, we are also putting on a TV show, so it's having those two things come together,' said Kyle Morris, production manager for Good Morning America.
The concert was for Lakewood High School students only.
Senior Jessica Kostelnik coined the motto "One World, One Roar," which challenges every high school in the country to raise $1,000 to donate to a charity of their choice.
Students were instructed to arrive at the school no later than 4:15 a.m.
The crowd sang "Happy Birthday" to the pop star in honor of her 29th birthday,
Principal Ron Castagna couldn't be more proud of his students.
'Students have made this about not just winning a concert, but sending a message, and trying to unite all students throughout the country, to show there is a common good,' Castagna said.
Once it was over, Perry tweeted "Thanks for a GREAT morning LAKEWOOD HIGH! Keep #ROARING

I want to create a second OS install on an eSATA disk (Ubuntu to be precise) and create a dualboot with my already existing Windows 7 install. I want use Ubuntu's GRUB bootloader and it should be installed on the permanent drive, since the eSATA disk will not always be attached.
Now obviously, GRUB is going to be needing
/boot so I suppose I should create that partition on my permanent drive.
Is there anything else that I need to take into account before undertaking this enterprise? I'd hate to find out I need to repartition everything later on. E.g. will GRUB boot when one or several OS'es are not found?

sysmail_help_queue_sp (Transact-SQL)
There are two queues in Database Mail: the mail queue and status queue. The mail queue stores mail items that are waiting to be sent. The status queue stores the status of items that have already been sent. This stored procedure allows viewing the state of the mail or status queues. If the parameter @queue_type is not specified, the stored procedure returns one row for each of the queues.
Transact-SQL Syntax Conventions
sysmail_help_queue_sp [ @queue_type = ] 'queue_type'
[ @queue_type = ] 'queue_type'
Optional argument deletes e-mails of the type specified as the queue_type. queue_type is nvarchar(6) with no default. Valid entries are mail and status.
0 (success) or 1 (failure)
|Column name
|Data type
|The type of queue. Possible values are mail and status.
|The number of mail items in the specified queue.
|The state of the monitor. Possible values are INACTIVE (queue is inactive), NOTIFIED (queue has been notified receipt to occur), and RECEIVES_OCCURRING (queue is receiving).
|The date and time that the queue was last empty. In military time format and GMT time zone.
|The date and time the queue was last activated. In military time format and GMT time zone.
When troubleshooting Database Mail, use sysmail_help_queue_sp to see how many items are in the queue, the status of the queue, and when it was last activated.
By default, only members of the sysadmin fixed server role can access this procedure.
The following example returns both the mail and status queues.

by Nancy Campbell from Above Rubies - Put Zeal Into Your Mothering Today It's difficult to accomplish anything very powerful when you are apathetic about it, isn't it? Many things can only be accomplished by the "zeal of the Lord." Isaiah 9:7 tells us that "Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end." How is this going to be accomplished? The rest of the Scripture says, "The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." It is the passion and zeal of God that will perform this wonderful promise.When Jesus beheld what was happening in the temple which was called "The House of Prayer" he didn't stand by indifferently.

Took me a long time to realize that the things motherhood took from me while I was still resentful of it, was not true sacrifice.

Nokia hypes the launch of Lumia 800
Gimmicks left right and centre
FINNISH PHONE FIRM Nokia's first Windows Phone handset, the Lumia 800 has gone on sale to what it hopes will be a warm reception.
Nokia is hyping up the launch today with free blue flowers and coffee at five London train stations and Vodafone's store on Oxford Street. The firm has also laid on rickshaws on Oxford Street as part of the promotion.
Nokia tweeted earlier today, "There are only 9 phones left @ThreeUK Oxford Street so get down to get one!"
It's unclear how much stock of the handset there is after Nokia decided to launch the phone with only a few selected mobile operators and retailers. Many retailers have had SIM-free stock delayed until January next year, but Nokia told us that it is confident the phone will sell well.
The promotional slogan that has been attached to the handset is, "Make every day amazing with the new Nokia Lumia 800."
If you're after a Nokia Lumia 800 then you can get one for free on a £26 per month contract or from £470 SIM-free. If you're not sure whether to upgrade to Nokia's latest and greatest then read our full review of the handset.
Nokia is hoping to make a comeback in the smartphone market after a shaky year so far. Judging by the number of launch gimmicks, it's going all out. µ

Manchester City will be facing familiar opponents in the FA Cup this afternoon as they take on Chelsea, who beat them in the Premier League last week. So will Arsenal, facing Liverpool tomorrow, just six days after they conceded five to them at Anfield. There will be a familiarity, then, as there always is when teams meet in quick succession in different competitions.
That familiarity, though will itself be familiar: six years ago Arsenal and Liverpool met three times in six days. In 1980, they famously played five times in three weeks, in the FA Cup and in the league. These series can develop a narrative of their own, but do they swing one way to the other, or work on the basis of accumulated edge and advantage?
The last time Liverpool and Arsenal met like this Arsenal had been mounting a strong title challenge, but had slipped in February and by early April they were six points behind leaders Manchester United. But they were still third, one place ahead of Liverpool, who were going nowhere.
The first leg of a Champions League tie at the Emirates ended 1-1, with Dirk Kuyt equalising just three minutes after Emmanuel Adebayor had put Arsenal ahead. Arsenal had the better of the game and could have had a penalty, but were left in a weak position. Three days later they hosted Liverpool again in the Premier League and again drew 1-1. Back then, to Anfield, for the second leg and still the two teams could not be broken apart. With five minutes left it was 2-2, with Arsenal set to advance on the away goals rule. What it took, then, to separate them, in the final minutes, was a collision between Kolo Touré and Ryan Babel, a penalty scored by Steven Gerrard and then another goal from Babel in added time to seal the result.
It was another player who has represented both Arsenal and Liverpool – Ray Kennedy, even more legendary than Kolo Touré – whose mistake finally separated the two teams on their five-game marathon in 1980.
The first meeting, on 12 April, an FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough, was a 0-0 draw. This prompted a replay at Villa Park four days later, in which David Fairclough gave Liverpool the lead before Alan Sunderland equalised for Arsenal. Three days after that, quite naturally, there was a First Division match and once more the sides could not be separated: another 1-1 draw. The second replay, back at Villa Park, again finished 1-1. Sunderland had scored in the first minute and Kenny Dalglish in the last but official pleas for a penalty shoot-out fell on deaf ears.
The final game, the third replay, was at Highfield Road. Bob Paisley, the Liverpool manager, had been warning all series about "Osborne, the lad from Ipswich". He meant, of course, Brian Talbot, who finally broke the unbreakable deadlock after a slip from Kennedy. The Liverpool veteran failed to clear, Frank Stapleton crossed and Talbot headed in. But it was a pyrrhic victory for Arsenal. They were so drained by their efforts against Liverpool that they lost to Second Division West Ham United in the final, and to Valencia, on penalties, in the Cup-Winners' Cup final.
That is one of the more intriguing elements of these series – as Arsenal must know – that they can become so all-consuming in themselves that they do not always help teams win trophies. One of the best double-headers of our generation came 10 years ago, as Manchester United triumphed over Arsenal. It is the Invincibles, though, who live on in history.
Arsenal were hosting United in the Premier League in March 2004, six points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand. Thierry Henry put them 1-0 up but, trying to protect their lead, Arsène Wenger withdrew Fredrik Ljungberg and Jose Antonio Reyes for Gilberto Silva and Pascal Cygan, and United seized control in the final minutes, having thrown on Louis Saha. He scored the equaliser at the death, United had the momentum and Ruud van Nistelrooy nearly won it in added time.
This meant that when the teams met in the FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park one week later it was United's inferior team who had the mental edge. Arsenal were distracted by their Champions League quarter-final with Chelsea, coming up three days later, and Wenger rested Henry, starting Jérémie Aliadière instead. Arsenal struggled to create, Paul Scholes scored the only goal and United won, effectively defending the uniqueness of their treble. Arsenal went on to win the league.
Sometimes the cups are consolations. Manchester United were involved in a thrilling trilogy against Leeds United in 1991-92, as the two best teams in England met three times in three competitions in 18 days. Manchester United were flying going into their First Division match at Elland Road, two points clear at the top after seven straight wins. Neil Webb volleyed them into the lead but a late penalty from Mel Sterland earned Leeds a draw.
In the Rumbelows Cup quarter-final, again at Elland Road, Gary Speed put Leeds ahead before Manchester United surged back. Clayton Blackmore curled in a brilliant 35-yard free-kick before an 18-year-old Ryan Giggs started to run the game, sliding in Andrei Kanchelskis for the second before finishing off a move he had started for the third.
Alex Ferguson's side had the momentum going into the third match, an FA Cup third-round match, again at Leeds, a tie the Leeds manager, Howard Wilkinson, called "absolutely amazing". Leeds had more of the game but Mark Hughes headed in a Giggs cross and Leeds were out. That series, then, was a red-rose rout, but Ferguson's side collapsed in the league and Leeds won it. United took the League Cup instead. For the four top teams competing in seeming rematches this weekend, defeat may not signal the end of their season.
These sequences are rare phenomena but at the top level they can provide a new level of tactical challenge. Perhaps the finest ever football series was that between Pep Guardiola's great Barcelona team and Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid, over four games in three weeks in 2011. Barcelona won the Champions League semi-final but Madrid won the Copa del Rey final.
"When you play as many times against each other," Guardiola reflected afterwards, "it becomes like the basketball play-offs. You do one thing, they respond with another, you answer in another way. The guessing, the changing, the preparing: that is what makes football enjoyable, what gives meaning to everything."
Five asides
1. Suarez currently misfiring
No manager would admit to running a one-man team and so it was no surprise this week when Brendan Rodgers said he was "building something that is not reliant on one player". Indeed, Luis Suarez has scored just one of Liverpool's last 17 goals. How good will they be when he starts scoring again?
2. Cissé still chases the dream
At Bastia today Monaco's Joao Moutinho, Eric Abidal and James Rodriguez will face another player with a World Cup dream. Djibril Cissé, now 32, has not played for France since 2011. Cissé scored for Bastia on Tuesday as they won 3-1 at Toulouse and another high-profile goal today could further his case.
3. Rangers ready to gamble
The precarious situation at Loftus Road is underlined by the fact that, even with the quality and experience in the Queen's Park Rangers squad, they are prepared to take a risk on West Ham's Ravel Morrison. Rangers could find themselves six points behind second place when they host Reading tomorrow.
4. Early advantage to Bayern
As Arsenal face Liverpool tomorrow, their Champions League opponents Bayern Munich will be recovering from this afternoon's far gentler home game against Freiburg. Arsène Wenger has complained before that English clubs are not helped by TV schedules before big European games. You can see his point here.
5. Lambert takes his chance
Dani Osvaldo's moment of madness might have saved Rickie Lambert's World Cup dream. The England striker had his opportunities at Southampton impeded by the Italy international. But, now Osvaldo has been expelled, Lambert is first choice again, giving him a good run of games to make his case.Reuse content

Wyomingnot's wonderful fan video for They Might Be Giants' "Fingertips" suite of 21 songs in less than five minutes, from the duo's 1992 album Apollo 18.
Here's what TMBG's John Linnell once said about "Fingertips":
The Force is strong with John and John.
The project was to write a bunch of choruses and nothing else. In other words, I had to restrain myself from writing any other parts of the songs. I wanted a collection of choruses that's something like what you see on TV late at night, like that old K-Tel commercials. I was thinking about how you know a lot of songs from these ads, but the only part you know is maybe one line, which is half the chorus. And yet they stick in your head in the way a whole song would. in a way, these tiny chips of songs seem complete, because you don't know the rest of the song.

Singer Casey Daniel accused Skrillex and Justin Bieber of using a sample of her voice without permission, but the targets of her lawsuit seem to have a good defense: the sample was of another singer entirely, and Skrillex posted video showing how he produced it.
Daniel's 2014 song Ring The Bell opens with a distinctive whooping cry from Daniel, repeated throughout:
You can hear it—according to Daniel—in Bieber's Skrillex-produced 2015 megahit Sorry:
Here's Daniel, on Facebook:
Like most artists that sample music, Bieber could have licensed my song for use in "Sorry." But he chose not to contact me. After the release of "Sorry," my lawyers sent Bieber a letter regarding the infringement, but Bieber's team again chose to ignore me. I offered Bieber's team an opportunity to have a private dialogue about the infringement, but they refused to even acknowledge my claim, despite the obviousness of the sample. Justin Bieber is the world's biggest artist, and I'm sure that he and his team will launch a full attack against me. But, in the end, I was left with no other option. I believe I have an obligation to stand up for my music and art.
In response, though, Skrillex posted a video that seems to make obvious that the sample was in fact of a session singer.
SORRY but we didnt steal this 🙏🏻 @justinbieber @bloodpop pic.twitter.com/9897j9sfY7— SKRILLEX (@Skrillex) May 27, 2016

Ashlee Simpson in James Jeans
Looks like the James Jeans bug bit Ashlee Simpson. This is the second time we spotted her wearing her Twiggy Leggings in Slate. She was spotted wearing the pair while carrying son Bronx at JFK Airport in New York. These leggings must be super comfortable. We have spotted celebrities such as Nicky Hilton and Rachel Bilson wearing theirs numerous times around town.
Ashlee's hair has started to grow on me as well. She sort of resembles Katherine McPhee mixed with Edie Sedgwick, doesn't she? I like that Ashlee is always her own. She never really sticks to a stereo type with the way she dresses. She mixes it up. Are you readers also a fan of her style? Buy these James Jeans leggings at Boutique To You for $120.
Nudie Exclusives at Atrium NYC
Nudie has come out with some new styles. These styles come in their most popular fit for the men, the Thin Finn and the Slim Jim. Both come in dark washes that are on trend for Fall. You can choose between the Slim Jim in Used Black, which is a black wash with some fading, and the Thin Finn in Dusty Black, which is more of a dark gray/faded black wash. I think both are amazing, especially the Slim Jims. These are limited, so hurry and get your pair at Atrium NYC now.
Naomi Watts in Ever Jeans
I love seeing photos of Naomi Watts playing with her children. Most recently, she was snapped taking her sons to the playground in New York City. Naomi didn't hesitate to get hands on! She looked like she was having a great time catching her kids on the slide and on the playground.
For their trip to the playground, Naomi wore a simple outfit of Lavin flats, a white tee shirt and skinny jeans by Ever. You can buy Ever jeans at Revolveclothing.com and Shopbop.com.
Topman Denim Feature
One of my favorite stores Topman has come out with some videos showcasing their denim. The feature consists of three stories about three guys named Louis, the introvert, Henry, who is the link between the two, and Sid, the leader.
Their stories all intertwine with each other with certain locations that they each pass through and public pool where they all hang out. Each story shows a deep reflection of each characters' identity within the collective and their separate outlook on the world. The reason behind these films was to show the most symbolic time in everyone's lives, adolescence. You can check out the trailer above and click this post to check out the individual stories in full.

How do health-care professionals diagnose TMJ syndrome?
A doctor will diagnose TMJ syndrome by taking the patient's medical history and doing a physical exam to find the cause of the symptoms. There is no specific test to diagnose TMJ syndrome. A doctor may send the patient to an oral and maxillofacial specialist, an otolaryngologist (also called an ear, nose, and throat doctor or ENT specialist), or a dentist specializing in jaw disorders to confirm the diagnosis. Sometimes an MRI of the temporomandibular joint may be ordered to detect damage to the cartilage of the jaw joint and to rule out other medical problems.
A condition that may have some similar symptoms to TMJ syndrome is trigeminal neuralgia. The trigeminal nerve supplies nerve impulses to the temporomandibular joint, and when irritated, it can also cause facial pain. Other causes of face or neck pain include swollen lymph nodes (swollen glands), giant cell arteritis, salivary gland disease, sore throat, ill-fitting dentures, or dental braces. Continue Reading

In looking for a dupe for benetint (for lips) that doesn't cost $40 CAD, I gave this a try for around $10. The color (Deep Berry) is great and the effect is exactly what I like in a stain, very subtle and brightens your complexion without looking or feeling like you're wearing any lip product. I took two lippies off though because the product just isn't as liquid as benetint... Its more of a goop, and too much product is on the applicator. So when you apply a little bit to your lips and press them together, the product just goops up on the edges of your lips rather than spreading evenly. You have to take your finger or a separate brush to spread the product out for an even layer. The problem with that is it's a stain... It stays on my fingertip through hours until I am able to scrub it off. Also, it doesn't last that long on lips. While I do drink a lot of water and it doesn't transfer to the glass, it still wears off in about 4 hours.
I really don't think benetint is worth it for the amount of product you get and the hefty price, so I will keep trying different substitutes. This one is probably fine if you aren't bothered by the messy application, but personally, I'll keep searching.

I search for some reviews to convince myself to buy this product or not, cuz my mom told me to buy nyx lip matte than buy this.
But, after I found some reviews and bcs Im so curious with this product, then I bought this yay. And............ luckily, this product amaze me *except its price*
I really like its red color with some blink blink, even when I apply it when it still wet or after a bit dry.
It has a long stick and it really helps me to apply the lipstain on my lips. But, I never apply it on my cheek till now, bcs I have sensitive cheek and it blush easily, so Im afrai it'll make my cheek overly-red
So, if you like half-lipgloss-half-lipstick product, yet you dont want them both, you should try this. And theres 2 color options, pink-purple and red. I never try the pink-purple on bcs Im in love with the red one.

I love this product! I hate putting lipstick everyday or having to fix every now and then. This lipstain saved me! I put around 2-3 coats to get an amazing red-natural colour and i use a clear lip balm over it and i'm done! It lasts sooo long and even when it fades it doesn't look bad. Only thing is.. be sure to exfoliate before using it because it doesn't look good on chaped lips.

I love this lip and cheek stain! I only use this on my lips, I have not applied on my cheeks as I prefer to use a powder blush. I love the appearance of this lip stain, it doesn't look obnoxious. It lasts quite a while roughly 4 or so hours before I have to re apply. I would definatley recommend this lip stain. I love it and I have purchased this 2 times, as my first one ran out so quickly, I was obsessed with it. It's easy to apply, which is why I love it. Especially in a rush.

Oh boy, do I LOVE a good stain. I'm a big fan of natural looking make up. Pink lips, defined brows, lashes groomed with clear mascara. That, my friends is my everyday make up look. Now, lipstick never seems to look right on my lips. Perhaps it's just me, but they just never sit right. This frustration eventually led me to this little gem: The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain. I have this in the shade Rose Pink. It looks red in the tube, but leaves a beautiful berry stain. I do not use it as a cheek stain, though. So, my 5 lippies are for it beautifully doing it's job as my loyal HG lip product. :) Now, onto what everyone REALLY cares about, haha! All the important details of the product are also cleverly enlisted below within the pros and cons by yours truly, heh. Hope this is helpful!
-The stain is not sticky whatsoever.
-It sets right into your lips after a few minutes without leaving a sheen or any kind of texture. It has a watery texture at first, but that disappears as it sinks in.
-Adheres very well to the lips (looks extremely natural).
-Has great staying power. Stays fresh for at least 4 hours before fading occurs.
-Works on slightly pigmented lips too, like mine.
-Can be built up to any desired pigmentation.
-The doe-foot applicator aids easy application.
-Runs out quickly. Henceforth, the $14 price tag's a little too much.
-Can not be used as a cheek stain as it splotches. Takes a lot for it to actually blend and look good. This is a marketed as a lip and cheek stain. Even though I don't use it as a cheek stain, I thought I'd let you guys know.
-Someone who's looking for a natural looking stain
-Someone who does not also want it to to double as a cheek stain.
-Someone who's work environment is not appropriate for the use of lipgloss/lipstick.
Bottom line, I think this is one of the best stains I've ever used. Invest in this, especially if the cons don't bother you. They certainly don't bother me! This is an HG for me. I'll definitely buy it again, and if you're still wary about this product after my review, feel free to PM me in case you have any further questions.

I think that it is great that they do not test this product on animals, but it seems like they have not tested it on anyone.
On lips, it goes on without much work and gives a nice sheer color. However, after an hour or taking a sip of anything, the color on the outer edges of your lips fades, while the inner part of your lips remains much darker. It makes it look like you've been drinking Tropical Punch Kool-Aid, and it's difficult to reapply in the lighter areas and work around the darker areas.
In short, I'll stick to my Sephora lip stain.

I was looking for a reasonable priced cheek stain that is lightweight and long lasting, good job on this BodyShop!
I enjoyed using this more toward the cheek rather than the lip. Staying power is pretty decent for about ~6hrs. I do like the fact it is fragrance-free :)
The drying time is quite fast, but it does leave a bit time for you to blend it or tap it around the cheek area. It can be build up for more dramatic look, or just put on a really sheer layer and it looks sooo natural on my NC30 skin tone.
the only downside to this is that it kinda dried my skin a little tiny bit during the winter time, but as long as it doesn't break me out, or cause rash, it is ok.

***EDIT***: I tried this for quite a few months and I have to re-evaluate certain problems!
I purchased this for SGD $22.90 in retail stores. Packaging is OK, comes with a wand for you to apply your lips just like how you would apply a lipgloss. Quite sleek and cute, it was one of the reasons why I purchased it. I don't use it on my cheeks.
+ Sleek packaging, gives off a very sophisticated and modern feel. I like the look of it.
+ Since it's a "LIP AND CHEEK STAIN", and it really stains your lips, no kidding. I like the look of it initially. It gave me a youthful look and perfect for a day to run some errands and I just want some colour on my lips which is not over the top and still looks presentable.
+ The stain lasts really long, enough for a day. I don't remember having to re-apply it. I only removed it when it's late at night and when it's time to remove my overall makeup.
- The after stain look --> it looks great when you first apply it. You can see the colour very visible on your lips. However after a few hours, it seems like the colour inside your lips will start to fade first, leaving a very visible thin outline of the stain on your lips. It looked so weird and awkward, I didn't even realize how it did to my lips until using the washroom. I mean, will I even look nice with an outline of a red stain on my lips?!
- Didn't feel moisturizing. I have days where my lips feel chapped. So after using this.....my lips look as bad as ever.
- Expensive. For a stain that gave me this result after wearing for the first few hours, I didn't think it was worth it. I would have easily bought other substitutes or even a simple lip gloss instead.
Conclusion: I only purchased this as I'm a big lover of TBS and I know that their products are really good and do not test on animals. However, this is a no go for me. I'm sorry!

I love cheek and lip stains and was incredibly disappointed with Benefit's Benetint (which didn't show up at all on my lips, and looked patchy and awful on my cheeks while having zero staying power - like less than 3 minutes on my lips if I could even see it). I decided to give this a try and am now on my second tube.
On my NC20-25 cheeks this looks great, like just-came-in-from-a-cold-day sheer wash cherry reddish pink, and I only need to apply once to see it. It doesn't feel sticky after drying and is easy to apply. I tap it in gently with fingers after applying with the wand, usually after tinted moisturiser/BB cream or a light foundation but it works great on bare skin as well. If I want a more dramatic look, I apply a bit more and slowly build up it up, then set set with some translucent powder. I find the staying power to be really good too - I never touch this up during work (8-10+) hours, unless I'm going out after and want to refresh my make-up.
On lips though - it's another story. While it does look cute, gives a nice sheer wash of colour while it's on, it doesn't last as long as I would like it to, I need to touch-up in about 2ish hours after applying. But it's still great for a natural sheer wash of colour on your lips that's non-drying and very comfortable to wear. I love it so much on my cheeks though, and have other options for lip stains that I could care less. I love it and will keep repurchasing it, it's often on sale, worth the money and works so much better than Benetint - very happy with this one! I also wish they came out with more colours, online and in store I've only seen #01 Rose Pink.

These questions will be debated around the Macedon Ranges at five forums for Democratic Renewal.
April forum speaker was Adam Jacoby from MiVote at Riddells Creek Primary School.
May forum speaker was Professor Lyn Carson from Sydney University at Lansfield
June forum speakers: Annie Bolitho (facilitator of "participatory budgeting at Darebin Council) and Sebastien Klein (President Victorian Local Government Association) at Woodend Primary School.
Next forum:
Sunday 7 August Speaker Steb Fisher at Kyneton Secondary College Epping St Kyneton 4pm. Topic will be: A Century of Healing – he will present powerful ideas to help us all face an uncertain future, with hope, courage, and resolve.
You get a chance to have your say about local issues that are important to you in group discussions after hearing from the keynote speakers.
A forum for democratic renewal will give more information or call Rob on 54 22 1808.

Myth 1: That fossil fuels are the cheapest form of energy.
They're not. They are only regarded as cheap when the full cost of using them is not accounted for. Up till now humans have not costed the rubbish that is put into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels.
Myth 2: That substitution of gas for coal burning eliminates emissions.
It doesn't. Gas like coal is a hydrocarbon and when burnt produces CO2. It is true that less emission results from the burning of gas for the same useful energy output when compared with coal, but it still produces emissions.
Myth 3: That carbon dioxide (CO2) is the biggest green house gas.
It isn't. Water vapour is far more prevalent in the atmosphere but its amount varies with temperature. The warmer the atmosphere the more water vapour it can hold and this warmth depends on green house gases trapping energy around the Earth. This is known as a 'feed-back loop' and is the cause of great concern for climate scientists. A relatively small increase in a green house gas (eg CO2, N20, CH4) leverages a proportionately larger atmospheric absorption of water vapour thus boosting the temperature even further and so the cycle goes on. 'Runaway' temperature increase is the result.

Photo Of The Day: Funny Face, The Rodarte Rendition
Photographed by Nina Westervelt.
Goofballs. Total and utter goofballs. That's what we found backstage at the Rodarte show yesterday. Don't let their showtime smizes fool you; the models who power strut down the runway are just as dorky as we are. So dorky, in fact, that they've used their tablets to let us know. Now, say "screenshot!"

In early May, the boys and I ventured up the road to Shlagel Farm on a muddy spring day for our annual strawberry picking. There is nothing quite like fresh berries picked off the farm. The boys weren't super excited about having to pick strawberries again, since they went last week with their dad. Yet I made it a fun outing, as they stomped through the muddy fields and searched for ripe berries. Since the DC area has had one hell of a rainy spring, this was the first dry weekend day, so I wanted to be sure we were able to do some picking. I love carrying on this tradition year after year, even when the boys are less than thrilled. These are the memories I want them to remember when they are grown and have children of their own.
Do you have any family spring traditions?

William & Gayle Clark, semi-retired, love to travel and enjoy the outdoors. Avid skier, kayaker and hiker. Retired school teacher & home builder.
William Clark purchased this cottage in 2006
Purchased at Bear Lake Reserve for it's natural beauty and outdoor activities. Owned property at the beach for years and decided we needed something quiet and relaxful.
Love spending time on the lake, sitting on the rear deck enjoying the mountain views and the cozy fire.
High Country Lodge is a beautiful, well pointed home. I can't think of a single thing that was lacking. The quality of the home is outstanding. There were movies, books, lots of extra towels and blankets. We had a group 26 staying in 4 houses and this house was our gathering place because it was so spacious and even included 2 refrigerators and 2 dishwashers. My family loved the pool and lake combination at the lake club. We had been warned about the drive to the club, so that did not bother us...we just spent the entire day there whenever we went. I would definitely recommend this house and the owner's other properties for a large group event.
The High Country felt like a bespoke lodge for our family of (6). There was something for us all: (2) Adults, (2) 17 year old girls, and 12 year old and 13 year old boys. Every detail, in the lodge, was considered; from the layout, to the furnishings. If we ever started to feel too much togetherness, there were plenty of "spaces" to escape to. High Country Lodge is a great place to just "exist" and "escape" from the world, for a while. We had a great and relaxing time.
The house was nicer and larger than in the pictures. Everything was beautiful. The grand children loved the trout pond that was walking distance from the lodge. The club with its two pools, two jacuzzis and a beautiful beach on the lake were amazing. We will be back.
We had a wonderful time staying at the High Country Lodge! We were visiting the area for a wedding at Castle Ladyhawke, and this was the perfect place to stay.
This home has so much personality and was so clean! Comfortable beds, great showers, and excellent kitchen appliances, pots, pans, dishes, knives,etc! Beautiful view and outdoor deck fireplace ( plenty of wood and fire starting materials provided!) Great deck for star gazing. Lots of games, great multi- media functions and everything works! Owners great to work with and Brandon the concierge was very helpful and friendly. Everything in this beautiful home is organized, comfortable and attractive! The Lake Club is extraordinary ! Beautiful pool, pristine grounds and lake, helpful, friendly staff
The High Country Lodge sits back in the Lap of Luxury tucked into the wilderness setting of Bear Lake. The lodge has all of the amenities of the city with the woodsy setting of the Appalachians. This lodge provides everything you need except food which you can bring or it can be prepared at the Bear Lake Reserve clubhouse along with the other country club amenities. Swim in the pool, paddle across the lake, motor along the coves or ski around the lake, or just decompress in this idyllic setting reading a book. Whatever your pleasure, I'm confident you will find it at this picturesque location.

Handsome, stylized flowers bloom in orderly splendor down the length of this striking Yao wall hanging with designs by Suneeporn Tanjaipetch. Using natural cotton, Yao weavers recreate ancient hill tribe designs in a dramatic combination of red-violet and black.
The Yao ancestors lived in the Hunan Province of China some 2,000 years ago. Today the Yao people live in southern China, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. In Thailand, there are approximately 55,000 Yao living in scattered villages, and an estimated 10,000 from Laos, living in refugee camps along the border. They have such unique life styles that the various communities are quite different from one another. But their villages are commonly found on beautiful low hills and mountainous valleys with dense forests. These areas are teeming with wild animals and are rich in natural resources, allowing them to develop a diversified economy.
The Yao people are expert weavers, dyers, and embroiderers. During the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD), they wove special fabrics made from tree bark and dyed them with grass seeds, and later became expert at beeswax and indigo dyeing. Yao women are noted for their magnificent cross-stitch embroidery, which richly decorates the clothing of every member of their families.
"At first I received cloths from hill tribe women. They showed me how to make these patterns and I slowly made them myself, which took me quite a while."
