I have been using this product (in brown) for about a week or so now;
- holds a curl well (though not as well as Heroine's Long & Curl)
- takes effort but fairly easy to remove
- doesn't flake or smudge throughout the day
however, this thing clumps like crazy on the weird brush it comes with and smells hella stank
what did they even put in this???? it doesn't smell like make up at all
the smell is so abstract i can't even begin to describe it; it's not very chemical like imo, not toxic either it just smells like.....some sort of a smelly armpit
but it doesn't linger after you put it on so no issue there i guess at most you feel paranoia and grossed out if you're suuuuper sensitive
in conclusion, it's kind of pricey over here and i was lucky to have gotten it for a cheaper price than usual, so I doubt I will repurchase this unless there's another sale of some sort.

For some time now, my HG has been Maybelline The Falsies and I have been looking for an alternative that can match or beat it. Lash King comes close but no cigar. There are a few issues with it that pretty much makes it ineligible for my repurchase. But first, the pros.
The GOOD bits:
- It lengthens well. The fibers really do wonders for my lashes. They cling easily and look rather natural albeit with a few strays I easily pull.
- It stays put. So far, I have had no issues with flaking unless I absentmindedly rub my eyes which I do pretty often. You really do have to use a makeup remover for this.
- The packaging is awfully cute.
Onto the BAD bits:
- It has a foul solvent smell that can irritate your eyes and nostrils. I don't know about you guys but the Lash King they sell in my country reeks of noxious fumes. It's not expired. I checked. But I scare myself sometimes thinking my lashes would disintegrate and my ovaries would shrivel into prunes from using this too often.
- It has a weird wand that can make the formula clump upon application. The Lash King wand does not have bristles. It does not have a comb either. I can't explain it. It just looks like an odd little stump with a spool of cobweb. But it works--with diligent practice. Newbies be warned.
- It costs more than The Falsies. I bought mine on holiday sale but it's still more expensive than my HG mascara.
I could have given this four lippies but the smell is just freakin' lab-experiment-gone-toxic-wrong scary.

Given the price and how it compared to other mascaras within price range, I would re purchase this product again as this is the only mascara that had minimal smudging even after sleeping with it on. I think it's due to its formula leaning on the drier side in comparison to most. I have oily lids and straight lashes (top and bottom lashes actually touch under eye skin) so almost all mascara don't hold up well. A major downfall though is that the fibres are an eye irritant and the formula didn't really provide much volume; it also did not help maintain the curl of the lashes.

I've had my fair share of searching hi and lo for a mascara that first and foremost would not smudge, not clumpy and will retain the curl. All these seem to be a tall order for most mascara's I've tried and I've tried a lot with varying price range as well. Am willing to pay a certain price as long as the product works the way I need it to.
I agree with other reviews that the fibres does irritate the eyes and that oil based make up remover is best for taking this off as well as it did not help retain curl but I would repurchase as this is the only mascara that gave minimal smudge. I would just need to be mindful in taking off fibres that end up on inner and outer corners of my lashes to minimize irritation.

Majolica Majorca Lash King Mascara promises great length and thickness. Did it live up to its claims? Absolutely. Its� thread-like fiber gives amazingly-long and thick lashes. I really had wanted to love it, but unfortunately I don�t.
What's Good?
1. Exceptional Length
2. Adds Volume
3. Noticeably Bigger Eyes
4. Waterproof
What's Bad?
1. Messy Application
2. It Clumps
3. Sticky and Uncomfortable
4. Smudges Easily (but lightly)

These babies caught my eye while I was in Taiwan and I am in love. The Lash King product is a fiber mascara with a traditional wand (as opposed to the comb wands of some of its sisters). Mine is an extremely pigmented black. The high gloss finish is not something you see often in American mascaras, not sure if I like it or not. Regardless, if you are like me and work really hard with your trusty Shu Uemura curler to get your lashes on point, this is the perfect accompaniment. Lash King provides great separation and beautiful length while holding a curl like nobody's business. It isn't super crunchy when dry and holds up in humidity. I took one star off because I wanted a bit more volume, but I am a demanding gal. I love using this on top of Maybelline the Falsies Flared. The fibers stack nicely onto the ends of the lashes creating a super sexy fake lash effect. Unlike many of the fiber mascaras out there, this one does not flake at all. It is somewhat buildable and again, I like it in conjunction with a volumizing mascara. Regarding removal, I did purchase the Majolica Majorca eye makeup remover because their mascaras are notoriously hard to remove. I did find that Lash King was removable with my usual EVOO, so I recommend oil-based removers if you can't get the MM remover (which is a rather small tube IMO). I paid around $11 USD for mine in Taiwan but I do see these on *Bay for a little more. Definitely less than Lancome, Dior, YSL, etc. If you seek serious curl hold and length, this is a wonderful item to try.

One of my favorite mascaras! Fiber mascara so it makes your lashes super long. It's best to do everything in one coat since more makes it look too clumpy for my eyelashes.

I bought this bcos the one I usually buy from Maybelline ran out.
After trying it for a couple of weeks, I'm not buying this again.
Someone also pointed out about the fibers bothering them. It really does! My eyes get even irritated bcos there are fibers left behind. The wand looks like a used wand like a tester type already even if mine was fairly new (2 weeks). Although this wasn't clumpy, but I it's not even.
This is also a bit expensive compared to Maybelline.

One of the best mascaras i ever tried. I love how it holds the curl of my lashes and keep its shape the whole day. It does not smudge at all and will require a make up remover to fully take it off. However, the fibers bothered me a bit. There were times that it went in my eye and had difficulty removing it. Not the best experience, im tearing for almost 15 mins. But that will not stop me from buying this product :) i just hope they lessen the price. Its a bit pricey for a product that wil expire after 3 months.

I've heard fantastic things about Majorlica Majorca mascaras but have always been hesitant to buy any of them because of the price. But when i ran out of my Maybeline volume express mascara i decided to take the plunge. what the heck. why not?
Firstly, it's overpriced. And the fibers really bother me. they don't make my lashes voluminous at all cuz the fibers just stick out in really weird angles. they also keep getting into my eyes. Secondly, its not waterproof at all. just an hour later i have racoon eyes.
I'm really disappointed in this product and i will definitely never buy this product again. Compared to the Maybelline mascaras which are way cheaper, this is not worth your while.

Brothers to open first brewery in Rutland CountyBy Lucia Suarez
STAFF WRITER | November 05,2012
BRANDON — Brothers Patrick and Daniel Foley have specialized in making local red wine at their family-owned winery since 2008, but later on this month, they will start selling home-brewed beer as well.
"I have been brewing for four or five years," Daniel Foley said. "I started off with small batches and recently stepped it up."
The brothers started Foley Brothers Brewery, an expansion to the Neshobe River Winery their family has owned for the last four years. Once it opens later this month, it will be the first brewery in Rutland County.
"The Vermont Brewer Association told us that," Patrick Foley said. "We are kind of stoked about that."
He said one of the biggest motivators to wanting to start a brewery was the fact that they can brew every day.
It is something that does not happen while making wine.
"When you make wine, it's a couple of months," he said. "Traveling to other breweries, we saw that they are brewing every day."
To start they are offering two types of beers – the Ginger Wheat and Brown Ale – which will be available first wholesale in 22-ounce bottles.

Impressions of Brazil
Dave Pietro and Banda Brazil Visit the Outpost
Although he's become an increasingly renowned saxophonist, Dave Pietro's fluid passages sound as though they were charted by a pianist. One is compelled to deduce that the decade he spent recording and touring as the lead alto saxophonist in Chinese pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi's jazz orchestra has quite a bit to do with Pietro's smooth phrasing. But there's also a highly evolved understanding of piano-like voicing at work in the musical mind of the young reed player from Southboro, Mass.

Prince Diabaté Dance Party
By Michael Henningsen
Saturday, Nov. 13 at Airdance Artspace (3030 Isleta SW, all ages, 8 p.m.): Prince Diabaté has been called "the Jimi Hendrix of the kora," a true innovator on the instrument. He and his former musical partner, vocalist Amara Sanoh, began wowing local audiences in 1997, making regular appearances at Outpost Productions' Fall Fundraiser for several years consecutively. Diabaté's masterful fusion of funk, reggae Caribbean rhythms and the traditional sounds of his Malinké roots in Guinea, West Africa makes his some of the freshest, most danceable music going.

Dexter Romweber Solo! Duo! Trio!: Blues That Defy My Soul (Yep Rock)
Nearly two decades before Jack and Meg White went thrift store shopping for matching red polyester uniforms and spawned rock's latest Gap-like trend, guitarist Dexter Romweber and drummer Crow were actively putting the guitar/drums duo concept on the map; first in Chapel Hill, N.C., then across the country. After releasing nine records as Flat Duo Jets, Romweber and Crow split in 1998. Romweber is back with his third solo album, and it's a record that begs the question: Why did I spend all my dough on those White Stripes and Black Keys discs? This is the real thing, kids. Garage blues at its most surfalicious.

Lina Stalyte is a young soul/folk singer-songwriter living in Paris. She has started her musical journey in Lithuania, where she comes from. She grew up in a little town called Mazeikiai. After graduating from a higher school Lina decided to study Psychology. After the studies as a big number of Lithuanians she took a one year break and went for a trip through Europe to find her future city. After beautiful stays in Stockholm and Barcelona, Lina ended up in Paris effortlessly. She says that the city virtually invited her to stay. She has been accepted in several jazz music schools, have found a place to stay, people to play with and the venues welcoming her in to perform.
Lina has started singing when she was still in the kindergarten. In the family gatherings she has distinguished herself as the one standing on a chair and singing – these were her firsts performances at the age of 3. Lina's first carrier step was releasing a folk album called "VAKARAMS". The second soul jazz EP is available to listen
Emotive and bright voice is what remarks Lina from other singers. Lina writes about love, human relationships and their stories. If you would put a guitar into her hands or ask her sit down at the piano, Lina would tell you a passionate story of Joni Mitchell, subtly transmit the melancholy of Billy Holiday and blow you up with a passion of Sade. From a folk music cocoon Lina turned into a soul/jazz singer who carries a big love for Afro-American jazz music. Today Lina works with different style such as jazz, gospel, soul and R'n'B musicians.
You can easily recognize Lina because of her sparkling energy. She is courageous, crazy about life and continuously searching for a beauty in people's hearts, music and world. This girl will not let any chance for her joy to slip out of her hands – she is taking all her chances and musical adventures 100 percents seriously, after which she goes to people and tells them how beautiful she sees the world.

Fact: It's impossible to hate Ron Perlman.
Okay, so maybe we don't have any actual, statistical evidence on hand to back that up as fact, but we're still pretty sure it's true. There's just something about him that's inherently likeable. Maybe it's that he looks like a battle-hardened teddy bear. Maybe it's because he's great at nailing deadpan comedy. Whatever the case, it's really, really hard to not get excited any time you see Ron Perlman's name in the credits, because it's a guarantee at least one thing in the movie will be good.
In the case of Crave, thankfully the entire film is a good, solid thriller about a crime-scene photographer with an increasingly disturbed imagination, but it's Perlman specifically that brings us here today. In it he plays a homicide detective who often gives the troubled man at the heart of the film a new perspective on things. It's not the first or last time Perlman's played a cop, and yet it's a performance and character that still feels fresh and, well, likeable, even when the world he's living in is growing increasingly grim.
We recently spoke with Perlman on the phone ahead of Crave's December 6 release on VOD platforms everywhere, to talk not only this film, but his always busy career and general, which has never been better.
Movies.com: You're such a prolific actor that it seems like you never actually take time off these days. Do you, and if so, what do you in your downtime?
Ron Perlman: I have lots of time off. It seems like I work a lot, but these little films – like Crave – are low budget. I've had the good fortune of being on this TV show for the last six years, and the other good fortune is that it only shoots five months a year, which lets me have time to do these. My favorite thing in the world is great writing, and you find it more in the world of low-budget indies than anywhere else. And by the nature of these things, there's not a lot of resources like money, or more importantly, time on the shooting schedule, so you can bang one of these out in a week or two even if you have a sizeable role. So it seems like I'm really busy, but a lot of these really cool movies that I'm in that are in the process of coming out over the next few years didn't require very many days of work on my part.
Movies.com: Do you ever seek out movies or do productions tend to seek you out first?
Perlman: It's a bit of a combination. There are four or five now, aside from Crave, that are on the precipice of finding their way into the zeitgeist. I don't know what that means for them, since some will be theatrical and some won't be, but a lot of the time I guess the word is out there that I like to do little indies, so they come my way. If the writing is really decent and the role is one I feel I can be effective at and haven't really done before, then I'm in. The good thing is that since I do have this TV series, I have a day job that affords me the ability to do whatever I want and not have to worry about keeping the lights on.
Movies.com: Are there any types of characters that you're dying to play but haven't yet?
Perlman: No, not really. A writer I'm not, and the reason I'm not is because, A, I can't write, and B, I don't have the imagination of these writers that I admire. I don't know what kind of water they were drinking when they were kids, but they don't think like I do — and thank God for that! They come up with these inventions that are so fun to dive into, psychologically and behaviorally. For me the fun of acting is, if you go by the premise that we're all capable of anything based on whatever our stimulus is as we're being socialized, or based on any given set of circumstances. Somebody attacks someone near and dear to you and suddenly you have this supernatural strength and violence that's new to you, I just want to explore the human condition and take as many looks at it as I comfortably can. And when I say comfortable, I mean things I can actually understand and execute well enough to be effective. That's my criteria.
The reason I won't answer your question is because roles often come to me in such random ways. In fact, everything I've ever done – everything – has sought me out. While I was looking, s**t found me, so I've now stopped looking. Way more interesting s**t finds me than what I was actually looking for, and as I keep getting older, that keeps getting kinkier and weirder and more wonderful. The roles that I have in the can right now are some of the greatest characters I've ever played. And even though they're smaller movies, and people may never see them, I know I did them and I had a f***ing ball doing 'em, and really that's all that matters to me.
Movies.com: You've been quoted as saying, "I don't like working with me. I would punch myself in the mouth if I had to take my direction." Is that still true these days?
Perlman: Yeah, well I'm about to direct my first movie, and as a lot of people have asked of me, "Are you in it?" And I say "No, I would never work with me." It's kind of a joke. But the only other time I've directed I was acting, and my performance suffered because I was too busy worrying about the big picture that the director has to think about, and my directing suffered because on the days when I was acting I was too busy being vain and narcissistic and all the other things that are called upon when that's your thing. Unlike the greats, like Mel Gibson, Warren Beatty, Kevin Costner and all these other people who have given amazing performances while they've directed amazing films. I don't understand how they did that. Ben Affleck! I am not that guy. I gotta do things one at a time.
Movies.com: What can you tell us about the film you'll be directing?
Perlman: It's a beautiful film about two brothers, though it's really about the whole family, and the relationship these two have with themselves and the community at large. It's a drama, so there's not a whole lot of plot. It's more of a character study. But it's a beautiful piece of writing. It's the only thing I've ever read and said, "I have to direct this." I have never said that before, but the world was so vivid in my mind, and I understood that it didn't really require a lot of pyrotechniques as a filmmaker. It was more about telling a great story by casting great actors and pointing the camera in the right spot, so I felt confident I could do it. It's called Wooden Lake.
Movies.com: Are there any other films coming up that you'd like to beat the drum for?
Perlman: There's one called 13 Sins that I loved doing. It's based on a Thai film called 13. I was a huge fan of the adaptation. The writing was phenomenal. I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know how it turned out, but I loved making it. Daniel Stamm directed it. There's another one that I'm completely nuts over called Curfew, which was the Academy Award-winning, live-action short film of 2012. It was the most flawless, perfect, beautiful piece of filmmaking I've ever seen in my life. The guy who actually won the Academy Award wrote it, he directed it, and he stars in it, and he's another guy who nothing suffers while he's able to do all of those things seamlessly. His acting is kind of a cross between Mark Ruffalo and Montgomery Cliff, he's completely magnetic to look at on-screen. He decided to open the movie up and turn it into a feature, which is in postproduction now. If it's anything like the short, like the original, it's just going to be amazing bragging rights to say, "Hey, I was in that motherf***er!"
And here's a bonus question for all the Fallout fans out there, though the answer is a little disappointing:
Movies.com: Is there any chance we're going to hear you utter the words "War, war never changes" for another Fallout game anytime soon?
Perlman: I hear they're gearing up for another one. It's not a fait accompli, but I hear they've found a way to bypass me. I don't know that for a fact, it's just something I've gathered over the last few days, now that I'm a member of the social media world.

Objective: There is at present no comprehensive directory of medicines available in European countries. Such a directory would be valuable to policy analysts, clinicians, regulatory agencies, pharmaceutical companies and consumer groups. The aim of this project was to compile such a directory of all medicines marketed in each of the European Union member countries. Methods: Lists of medicines for each country, compiled from several national sources, classified by Anatomical-Chemical-Therapeutic (ATC) code. Census date was late 1998. Results: A comprehensive directory was created using data from 14 of the 15 European Union countries. Numbers of trade names and of active ingredients varied widely, from Germany with 18,554 and 1973, respectively, to Denmark with 1915 and 1016, respectively. In individual therapeutic areas, there were variations in the numbers of active ingredients available: the least variation between countries was in antineoplastic medicines (ATC code L, maximum number available in any country 101, minimum 60) and wider variation in alimentary (ATC code A, maximum 256, minimum 103) or cardiovascular (ATC code C, maximum 269, minimum 112). Only 7% of all the active ingredients were available in all the countries studied. The Scandinavian countries had the greatest proportion of active ingredients (60%) available in all other countries. Each country had a number of active ingredients available only in that country – Italy had the largest number of these. Conclusions: The directory illustrates the wide variations in the availability of medicines across the European Union. The range of drugs available in each country represents differences in regulatory and market policies, as well as cultural and historic differences. This directory lends itself to many further analyses.

Did You Know?
In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was a king who annoyed the gods with his trickery. As a consequence, he was condemned for eternity to roll a huge rock up a long, steep hill in the underworld, only to watch it roll back down. The story of Sisyphus is often told in conjunction with that of Tantalus, who was condemned to stand beneath fruit-laden boughs, up to his chin in water. Whenever he bent his head to drink, the water receded, and whenever he reached for the fruit, the branches moved beyond his grasp. Thus to tantalize is to tease or torment by offering something desirable but keeping it out of reach - and something Sisyphean (or Sisyphian, pronounced \sih-SIFF-ee-un) demands unending, thankless, and ultimately unsuccessful efforts.

Mindful Therapeutic Care for Children
Free delivery worldwide
Dispatched from the UK in 3 business days
Mindful Therapeutic Care for Children is an accessible guide to using mindfulness and reflection to improve the quality of care for vulnerable children. Drawing on ideas from attachment theory and neuroscience, Mindful Therapeutic Care for Children explains terms like mindfulness and reflective practice, their importance in the therapeutic care of children and how the theory behind them can provide a key to understanding children's behaviour. This book discusses how the mental and emotional environment around children affects them, and how practising mindfulness can help us generate more supportive environments. The author also features an 'Awareness Pentagon' model for reflective practice, an original tool developed through her training designed to help you to approach cases critically and to focus more effectively on the child's needs. This practical book provides psychologists, therapists, social workers and other professionals working with children, as well as foster carers and adoptive parents with useful tools to develop their capacity for mindful care.show more

Review quote
This book states on the cover that it is aimed at professionals who work with children but also parents and carers... Dr. North's style is conversational in tone which makes this a very accessible book... it is not so much a book about learning techniques; rather it is about learning another way of thinking about the work we do with the children in our care... by the end of the book I felt I had learned a lot and gained some insights which I can take directly into my practice...I would recommend it enthusiastically to professionals, parents and carers who want to understand more about themselves and the young people they work with and care for. -- Nurturing Potential/Potential Unleashed Inspired by Dan Siegel's celebration of the mindful therapist, Joanna North's book usefully explores ways in which parents and practitioners can develop ways of being mindful of their own selves as they engage and connect with children whose histories have been blighted by disadvantage and distress. She rightly points out that the more we understand the complexities of our own minds as well as the minds of the children with whom we relate, the more likely it will be that they, too, will develop selves that are reflective and well regulated. This book is heartfelt as well as mindful, full of ideas and advice for parents, carers and child welfare professionals alike. -- David Howe, Emeritus Professor of Social Work, University of East Anglia, Norwich This useful and practical book is based on a simple, yet powerful idea: as children's minds mirror their mental and emotional environment, those of us who support troubled children can do so best if we are reflective and mindful of our own minds. Thinking about our own thinking and knowing how we function in response to life's events creates a more constructive and conscious environment for a developing child. Writing in a wonderfully reflective style that is entirely congruent with the message about the practical importance of reflection, Dr North integrates different theoretical perspectives and provides building blocks of information to promote mindfulness and practical exercises to help us further develop reflective practice. -- Chris Taylor, Clinical Service Manager, Bryn Melyn Care, UK, with special interests in attachment disorganization and mentalization I recommend this book as a core text in systemic practice. It is an impressive accessible book, which for me says all the things I know and some I had forgotten about, in a focused and informative way. This would certainly help you order your thoughts as a busy practitioner and reflect. For practitioners, it is a social work energiser for direct work! -- Simon Howard, Senior Lecturer in Social Work and CPD, Nottingham Trent University, UK This book takes what is known about the value of reflective practice, drawing on the principles of mindfulness, and applies it directly to the world of residential childcare. The approach is strongly underpinned by relevant theory, including attachment, child development, trauma, social pedagogy, social learning theory, neuropsychology, neurobiology and, of course, mindfulness... every children's home should have access to a copy of this book. The deeper reflection that will be prompted will be hugely valuable for frontline care staff providing a supporting role to teams via supervision, training or consultation. This guide will help practitioners make a case for creating and protecting valuable reflection time, both individually and as a team... In summary, this book clearly sets out what reflective practice is and how to implement it in real terms, underpinned by information about why it is important and how it will help practitioners and the children they care for. -- Dr Kerry Audin, consultant clinical psychologist Children & Young People Now It is an extremely useful tool in assisting reflective practice. This is a thin book and written in a light accessible style... This book is a highly welcome and useful publication that will assist a wide variety of professionals and people who come into contact with children who have experienced trauma... I strongly recommend that this book be read by social workers, social carers and everyone who has contact with children whether traumatised or not... This book provides the reader with practical and useful tools. -- Maria McGloughlin, Social Worker, Child and Family Agency, Dublin South Central IASU (Irish Association of Social Workers) This is first and foremost a book about reflective practice with mindfulness as an important starting point to an individual's ability to be reflective... is thoughtful and thought provoking... this book would be a useful resource for any professionals working with children, at any level of experience, who want to develop a more reflective approach to their practice and as a reminder of why this is such an important aspect of our work with vulnerable children and young people. -- Sarah Sivers, Educational Psychologist, Kent Educational Psychology Service Debate - British Psychological Societyshow more

I am implementing a comic reader in C# 4.0, and browsing from one image to the next takes some time because of some processes I implemented.
Therefore, I implemented it in such a way that the UI thread will show first the unprocessed image whilst the background thread is processing the image and will later replace the unprocessed image.
It all works fine but now, some users will crazily like to click next image continusly and this causes the background worker to processes all those clicks and display all the images.
WHAT I WANT: if a user clicks multiple times, I want the background worker to process the last thread only.
WHAT I HAVE DONE: Now, I have implemented a function to check the number of active threads, if the active threads is greater than 1, background thread will not process but returns the previous image(THAT IS NOT GOOD, because the unprocessed image will be one index ahead)
If you have idea please explain to me like a beginner!
private void button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
Bitmap b = new Bitmap(this.CurrImage);
if (!shutdown)
process_updateThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(process_update));
pictureBox1.Image = b; //image will be replaced by worker thread image

They're already heroes for what they do, but five firefighters in Albuquerque, New Mexico are exemplifying the word, after deciding to donate some of their Mega Millions winnings to a colleague with cancer.
The firefighters were thrilled to hear they had won ten-thousand dollars in the Mega Millions lottery.
But instead of keeping all the winnings for themselves, they're donating some of it to 24-year-old firefighter Vince Cordova, who has a rare, aggressive tumor in his brain.
Doctors say it can be removed by a specialist in Los Angeles, but will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The firefighters say their donation for Cordova is a drop in the bucket, but they hope it will inspire others.
When we found out we had won the lottery, it was decided almost immediately that we should try to fall in the footsteps of some of the golf tournaments and other things that have been done to generate some awareness.
The Albuquerque Fire Department says it's a big family, and they support each other through good times and bad.

Lieberman's Last Hurrah: Statehood Bill for D.C.
He calls the 51st state his "unfinished business."
Trying to finish up what he calls "unfinished business," Joe Lieberman on Wednesday introduced one of his last pieces of legislation, along with Senators Dick Durbin, Patty Murray, and Barbara Boxer: a bill to make Washington, D.C. the 51st state, called New Columbia (and finally turning those Taxation Without Representation license plates into antiques). Here's hoping it passes just so we can see how they work out the flag redesign.

We really enjoyed the sweet taste of this dish. It reminded DH of a dish his Dad use to make while he was growing up. You can really taste the pineapple. Very easy to prepare. I served it with some ribs and potato salad. Yummy dinner! Thanks Toni for posting.
My family was divided on this interesting way of making baked beans. DH liked it, I loved it, DD didn't care for it at. I've averaged the stars.
This is EASY AND EXCELLENT! They have a WONDERFUL SWEET FLAVOR. I used a red bell pepper and a white onion. I used this recipe for Baked Beans, Cheddar and Pickle Sandwich and it was perfect! Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.

About the C# driver
Use this driver in production applications to pass CQL statements from the client to a cluster and retrieve, manipulate, or remove data.
The Python driver is a modern, feature-rich and highly tunable Java client library for Apache Cassandra (1.2+) and DataStax Enterprise (3.1+) using exclusively Cassandra's binary protocol and Cassandra Query Language v3.
Use this driver in production applications to pass CQL statements from the client to a cluster and retrieve, manipulate, or remove data. Cassandra Query Language (CQL) is the primary language for communicating with the Cassandra database. Documentation for CQL is available in CQL for Cassandra 2.x. DataStax also provides DataStax DevCenter, which is a free graphical tool for creating and running CQL statements against Apache Cassandra and DataStax Enterprise. Other administrative tasks can be accomplished using OpsCenter.
What's new?
Here are the new and noteworthy features of the 2.1 driver:
- Cassandra 2.1 support
- User-defined types (UDT)
- Named parameters for statements
- When using the version 3 protocol, only one connection is opened per-host, and throughput is improved due to reduced pooling overhead and lock contention.
- Tuples
- New features
- New reconnection policy FixedReconnectionPolicy
- The C# driver uses the most performant socket interface and (lock-free) asynchronous I/O, resulting in a significant read / write performance improvement for highly concurrent scenarios.

I finished this a couple of months back. I had shown a friend of mine from work this pattern and so she and I had a knit along. This bag wasn't too difficult to make, but it's been (so far) the most technical thing I've made. The strap, pockets and flap are all done in Seed Stitch, and the main body of the bag is Stockinette Stitch. and 4 I cords for the closures. I will probably make another here shortly, but this particular project only cost me 15 dollars, including the needles.
Oh yeah, forgot to add the the yarn I used was Sugar n Cream. it was cheap (1$ a ball). Though for being a cheaply priced yarn, it had kind of a waxy feel to it, and it resists water fairly decently.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Attorney General Eric Holder says the criminal
justice system has proven to be an invaluable weapon in assembling
a terrorism case in New York against a former Denver airport
shuttle driver.
Holder made the comment at a news conference Monday following
the guilty plea in a Brooklyn courtroom by Najibullah Zazi
(nah-jee-BOO'-lah ZAH'-zee) regarding a plot to attack New York
City subways with homemade bombs.
The Obama administration has been on the defensive about its
record on terrorism since a Nigerian man allegedly tried to blow up
an airliner landing in Detroit on Christmas. That suspect faces
charges in federal court, but Republicans say the Democratic
administration should try such suspects before military tribunals
rather than through civilian courts.

Montreal city council gathers for monthly meeting
The days of polarizing debates on the McGill campus surrounding the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement may be over.

It was the third vote in 18 months for the Student Society of McGill University (SSMU) on the polarizing movement, calling for boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel
That university campuses, where the mutual exchange of ideas is necessary for the very functioning of the institution, have been chosen as venues for boycotts and the prevention of free and open dialogue about human rights exposes the reality behind the movement.
A recent weeklong BDS information event held at Concordia University seems to have primarily succeeded in polarizing students and raising tensions on campus

The teenage girl members of Lev Tahor who fled their foster home in Toronto earlier this month could not have managed the stunt on their own, says an advocate for their family in Israel. On Monday, The Gazette reported that the girls — age 15 and 17 — left their foster home on Sept. 12 and fled across the border to New York state. They were reunited with their father and have been staying in Borough Park, in Brooklyn, N.Y., at last report.
Cinephiles rejoice: the 43rd Festival du nouveau cinéma (Oct. 7 to 19) is full of treats, further cementing its standing as Montreal's go-to event for movie-lovers, with new works from Wim Wenders, Jean-Luc Godard and David Cronenberg; American productions by Quebec directors Philippe Falardeau and Jean-Marc Vallée; a dance film by Carole Laure and a Björk concert film. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. The full lineup includes 380 films, including 152 features and 228 shorts, from 55 countries.
Famous for its Act 3 chorus, Verdi's Nabucco is in fact a multi-faceted opera with rousing arias, internecine conflicts, nations at war and a dandy mad scene for the Old Testament tyrant of the title.

There's no shortage of impressive mascaras at the drugstore, and we can add this one to the growing list. The formula is neither too wet nor too dry, and it applies evenly without a clump or flake. The rubber-bristle brush has a tapered end perfect for getting into small lashes or the outer corner of the eye, allowing for lots of definition and separation, and you'll also see thickness and volume.
The best part? It lasts, but then washes off completely with a water-soluble cleanser.

Very good at creating long defined lashes with some work
By Alexandra M.
from undisclosed
Comments about N.Y.C. (New York Color) High Definition Separating Mascara:
This mascara is great at creating very long defined lashes with some volume, however, I disagree with Paula's review in that it is slightly too wet when first applied and I think that is where the other reviewers ran into trouble, because it will clump if you reapply a second coat before the first coat dries. If you wipe off the excess mascara off the end of the wand and wait until the first coat dries before reapplying more, this mascara delivers what it promises.

Doesn't Deserve ""Best"
By Susan A.
No way does this deserve a "Best" rating - maybe Good, but I'm not so sure. It does separate lashes to the point that they look spiky. It has what I call a "wet" application and smears easily. It also clumps and flakes a little. I think PC should test this again. Usually I make myself use things up, but it's so bad that I'm tossing it and buying my standby, Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion, which IMHO should get a "Best" rating, not Good.
Not ""best"" by a long shot
By Peggy F.
Will echo the other reviewers comments. First application thought- not bad. Second and onward - clumpy, thick thick. A waste of $5. I'm really wondering if drugstore brands are the best route to take. At least department store brands, items from Sephora, can be returned and your money refunded or at least given a credit.
Best product? Not!
By Virginia
Have to wonder how many times Paula's reviewers use a product before rating. The first time I used this, it was ok, didn't clump too much. It didn't wash off very well, even with the help of make-up remover. By the third use the clumping was awful, even with follow-up with another clean applicator to separate. I decided to try washing the applicator that came with it; that helped for a few applications. Used for 3 weeks, it just got worse. Not worth even $5. Just spend the money for Clinique.
N.Y.C. At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; the mineral makeup holds its own against more expensive competitors; good finds for powders, eyeshadows, and lip glosses; several outstanding best buys, including lipstick, mascara, pressed powder, and brow pencil; most products are packaged so you can easily see the color.
Weaknesses: Some really inferior products; the makeup brushes really disappoint; the lip-plumping gloss is filled to the brim with potent irritants; limited options for foundation and concealer; several average pencils.
The N.Y.C. (New York Color) brand clearly wants to align itself with all of the excitement and pulsating action of the Big Apple—think Sex and the City or any of the notable fashion magazines whose home is in the heart of Manhattan. It would have been a clever marketing maneuver if New York Color had delivered, but despite a few stellar products, the line overall is comparatively tame and relatively ordinary. Sexy product names and beguiling makeup descriptions don't equal great makeup. Forget Sex and the City, this is more like a new Woody Allen film—a few surprises, but predictably familiar in the end.
The most appealing part of this line is rock-bottom prices; everything is less than $10, and several items are less than $3 (but that's still not as rock bottom at E.L.F., where $1 per item is standard). Although this isn't the cream of the crop for makeup, there are more than enough inexpensive okay options to make it worthwhile for you to check if it's being sold at your local drugstore. Just keep in mind that not everything N.Y.C. offers is "prestige quality" or the least bit fashion-forward. Put another way: New Yorkers are a notoriously tough group to please, and as a whole N.Y.C. doesn't do enough to make an on-the-go city girl slow down and see what she's missing. In fact, shopping this line without some advance information may lead to resounding disappointments, and that's never the goal. On the flipside, knowing what to zero in on will not only save you money, but also connect you with a product that stands a very good chance of leaving you wondering why anyone would pay more.
You're most likely to find N.Y.C. at Target and Rite Aid. Regrettably, testers are not available, but both of the aforementioned retailers have a good return policy if you save your receipt.

Survey: Firearms Retailers Overwhelmingly Oppose 'Universal Background Checks'
Vol. 14, No. 11 - March 25, 2013
95.7% SAY LEGISLATION WOULD NOT PREVENT CRIMINALS FROM OBTAINING FIREARMS . . . An online survey of federally licensed firearms retailers conducted last week by NSSF reveals that those who would be on the front line of implementing what is touted as "universal background checks" have serious concerns both about whether such proposals would work as well as the potential negative effects on their businesses. Asked whether they supported or opposed "universal background checks," 85.7 percent of the responding firearms retailers said that they opposed them. To the question of whether they believed such legislation would prevent criminals from obtaining firearms, a nearly unanimous 95.7 percent said no. In addition, the retailers reported that they feared these proposals would result in higher regulatory and additional record-keeping burdens, increased risk of license revocation for record-keeping errors related to private party sales of firearms, additional delays in processing of National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) requests, low government-set fees that will not cover their costs, and increased liability exposure arising from having to process private-party transactions.

Government Relations
SENATE VOTES TO STOP U.S. FROM JOINING U.N. ARMS TRADE TREATY . . . Though negotiations on a U.N. Arms Trade Treaty that would regulate international arms sales is slated to end on March 28, an amendment to the Senate's budget resolution introduced by Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) is intended to prevent the United States from entering into the treaty. Despite President Obama saying he would not vote for anything that would violate the Second Amendment, criticism over his decision to even consider the treaty prompted the Senate vote, which passed by a 53-46 margin.
SEN. REID ANNOUNCES APRIL VOTE ON FIREARMS LEGISLATION . . . U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced Thursday that in April the Senate would consider a bill on straw purchases, school safety and expanded background checks. Negotiations on all three of these major provisions are ongoing, and it is undecided what form they will take. Discussions on a background check bill have been taking place within a bipartisan group of senators since January, but they have been unable to agree on a compromise thus far.
NSSF AIRS RADIO ADS IN CONNECTICUT . . . In Connecticut, the birthplace of the modern firearms industry, NSSF last week launched radio ads to encourage citizens to contact members of the General Assembly to urge lawmakers to focus on measures that would truly be effective in preventing future criminal misuse of firearms and not punish law-biding gun owners and the companies based in the state. There is no question that momentum to quickly pass highly restrictive gun regulations has been slowed down in a state where emotions continue to run high following the Newtown tragedy. More voices have asked for the release of crucial information from the investigation into the tragedy following a New York Daily News report.
MAGPUL INDUSTRIES TO PULL OUT OF COLORADO . . . When Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper last week signed into law three new pieces of highly restrictive gun control legislation, it started the clock on magazine manufacturer Magpul Industries' promise to move out of the state. The company says it will be manufacturing magazines outside of the state within 30 days. It's quite possible that Magpul's action is just the first of several possible moves by manufacturers from those states adopting new restrictions on firearms features and magazine capacities to those states with decidedly stronger pro-Second Amendment sentiments. State legislators anywhere who argue that providing exemptions for manufacturing products that cannot be sold within the state's borders resolve the issue would do well to read an op-ed written by Colt's Manufacturing CEO Dennis Veilleux. He argues that a ban sought by the Connecticut Governor on modern sporting rifles in that state would so seriously impair the iconic Colt brand with American consumers that even historical ties and a highly skilled workforce may not be enough to keep manufacturing of those semiautomatic rifles in the Constitution State.
MARYLAND CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT REQUIREMENT UPHELD . . . A federal appeals court last Thursday upheld Maryland's state law that residents provide "good and substantial reason" before they can get a handgun permit. By its ruling, the three-judge panel of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has rendered the Second Amendment meaningless by requiring that law-abiding citizens justify to public officials why they should be allowed to exercise their fundamental right to own and carry a firearm. An appeal of the decision is expected.

SPORTS SOUTH PROVIDES MAJOR SUPPORT TO FAMILIES AFIELD . . . Distributor Sports South, an NSSF member, has generously donated $100,000 to the Families Afield program that works to lower barriers and increase opportunities for youth to go hunting. Of the donation, Sports South Chairman and CEO Skipper Dickson said, "Sports South is proud to support the Families Afield program targeting youth development and fostering life-changing opportunities in the outdoors. From personal experience, I cherish the bond created by hunting with my children and now witness that influence in their strong character. We must always help protect and promote the fundamental building blocks of our industry, and the Families Afield initiative is a great way to do just that." Families Afield is a joint effort of NSSF, U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance, National Wild Turkey Federation, Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation and the National Rifle Association.
U.S. FISH AND WILDLFE SERVICE ANNOUNCES $882.4 MILLION IN USER-GENERATED FUNDING TO STATE WILDLIFE AGENCIES . . . The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has announced the distribution of excise tax revenues generated by sportsmen and women through purchases of sporting products, including firearms and ammunition, in the amount of $882.4 million. These funds are distributed to state and territorial wildlife and fisheries management agencies to fund wildlife and fish conservation and recreation projects, including shooting ranges. An example of the impact in just one state was reported in the San Francisco Chronicle regarding Montana, which received $22.3 million, due in large part to the increased sale of firearms and ammunition.
MIDWAYUSA FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES $3 MILLION DONATION TO SCHOLASTIC SHOOTING TRUST . . . The MidwayUSA Foundation and Scholastic Shooting Trust, a public charity established by MidwayUSA founders Larry and Brenda Potterfield, received a $3 million donation from the Potterfields to assist in the funding of not only new teams but also for those existing teams with little or no money in their endowments. The funds were approved for 204 endowments in all, including 192 shooting teams, seven state 4-H shooting programs and five newly established college curriculum shooting programs.
VINCENT HANCOCK WINS GOLD AT ACAPULCO WORLD CUP . . . Twice Olympic gold winner Vincent Hancock of Eatonton, Ga., made another visit to the winner's podium, this time to receive the gold medal in skeet shooting at the International Shooting Sport Federation World Cup in Acapulco, Mexico. Missing only two clays in the 125-target qualifier earned Hancock a tie for first place in that event, and his perfect 16 out of 16 round secured a spot in the finals against Britain's Michael Gilligan. Hancock missed his first target in that gold medal match, but then shot perfectly through to the last double on station four, earning the gold.
1948 AMERICAN SHOOTER NOW WORLD'S OLDEST OLYMPIAN EVER . . . A new Olympic record of sorts was set last Thursday when American Olympic shooter Walter Walsh became the longest-living Olympian ever. On March 21, Walter Walsh, who placed 12th in the Men's 50m Free Pistol event in the 1948 games, reached 105 years and 321 days. Walsh's life as a youth in New Jersey shooting clothes pins with a BB gun and rats with a smoothbore .22 caliber rifle, as an FBI agent who apprehended some of the agency's "most wanted" and was shot twice, as a Marine in WW II and as an Olympian is celebrated in a press release produced by USA Shooting. Read the release.
NEW YORK TIMES: HUNTERS NECESSARY TO SAVE AFRICAN LIONS . . . In an article published in the New York Times, Tanzanian Wildlife Director Alexander N. Songorwa states that while the lion population in his country is not endangered, declaring it so would create a loss of American hunters that would be devastating to conservation efforts. A recap of the Times article in the Outdoor Hub describes how the threatened "endangered" classification by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service would have severely adverse effects. Songorwa emphasizes that if American hunters head elsewhere, an incredible strain will be laid on the nation's economy--with wildlife protection programs among the first to be affected. Read both the article in the New York Times and the report in Outdoor Hub.
TONY KNIGHT, 'FATHER OF INLINE MUZZLELOADING,' DIES . . . Tony Knight of Plano, Iowa, passed away on March 18 at the Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines. In 1985, Knight invented, patented and began to manufacture his modernized version of the muzzleloader, known worldwide as the Knight Rifle. His accomplishment earned him the distinction of being "the father of inline muzzleloading."
