|Re: Need advice from somebody who uses (or avoids) SSHExec
|Wed, 23 Apr 2003 00:29:27 GMT
Hi Matt, I checked the source, the "failonerror" actually fails the build on error by throwing a BuildException. However, if the time limit is exceeded, it does not. One way that I've used for running remote builds via sshexec is to have the remote Ant post it's status to a web page and/or send it's own e-mail messages. That way, if a single remote server fails, you'll know right away. This doesn't give you the central control and logging that you might be wanting, but it does circumvent getting the exit status. Another way, that I haven't tried, would be to have the remote Ant sshexec back to the central server and write it's exit status to a log when it is done. You might also check the list archives, I seem to recall someone saying that they had a servlet that would kick off Ant via an http request, which might be another way to go.

i bought an adorable scrapbook and a brand new camera recently hoping to document my college life.
that being said, i'm a poor college student on a budget in need of some helpful tips and advice for creating a really awesome scrapbook.
i don't need any pages for the book but i was so overwhelmed by all the different tools and everything, and i don't even know what to do with half of the things i've seen so far that i figured it wouldn't hurt to ask the professionals.
any help is greatly appreciated! thanks!

Buzz Aldrin Thinks We Should Colonise Mars
And he thinks Sandra Bullock deserved an Oscar for her performance in Gravity. That and more from his Reddit AMA.
Astronaut Buzz Aldrin did a Reddit AMA last night. Here's what we learned.
1. This is what went through his mind when he first saw Earth from space.
2. Seeing pictures of space reminds him of being there.
3. Aldrin wants America, not the private sector, to lead the first crewed mission to Mars.
I expect that within 2 decades of the [4]5th anniversary of the first landing on the moon, that within 2 decades America will lead an international presence on Planet Mars. Some people may be rooting for Elon - I think he could, with his SpaceX, contribute considerably, enormously, to an international activity not only at the moon but also on Mars. I have considered whether a landing on Mars could be done by the private sector. It conflicts with my very strong idea, concept, conviction, that the first human beings to land on Mars should not come back to Earth.
4. He thinks the first people to go to Mars should not come back.
They should be the beginning of a build-up of a colony / settlement, I call it a "permanence." A settlement you can visit once or twice, come back, and then decide you want to settle. Same with a colony. But you want it to be permanent from the get-go, from the very first.
5. And has thought about how a one way trip to Mars could be done.
I know that many people don't feel that that should be done. Some people even consider it distinctly a suicide mission. Not me! Not at all. Because we will plan, we will construct from the moon of Mars, over a period of 6-7 years, the landing of different objects at the landing site that will be brought together to form a complete Mars habitat and laboratory, similar to what has been done at the Moon.
6. His thinks Sandra Bullock deserved an Oscar for Gravity.
7. But his favourite movie about space is 2001: A Space Odyssey.
8. He went off-script on the way back from the moon and it all got a bit scary.
I believe it was after leaving the surface of the moon and completing a successful rendezvous with Mike Collins in the command module, as we approached connecting / docking, the procedures in the checklist said one thing, and I thought maybe doing it a slightly different way, rolling and pitching instead of something else, and I thought that was better on the spur of the moment! It turns out that it was not a good thing to do, because it caused the platform to become locked, and we were not able to use the primary thrusters, the primary guidance, to control the spacecraft, to its final few feet to dock and join the other spacecraft. That was my mistake. I suggested to my commander that we do it differently, and it was his mistake to assume that i knew what I was talking about. So we both made mistakes - brought about by me! We recovered successfully on the "abort guidance" system.
(I don't admit that to many people)
(but I'm sure the mission controllers in Houston, while it was happening or certainly afterwards, they certainly knew what had happened, but fortunately they didn't squeal on us)
9. He doesn't waste his time thinking about moon landing conspiracy theorists.
I personally don't waste very much of my time on what is so obvious to a really thinking person, of all the evidence - we talked about Carl Sagan recently, who made a very prophetic observation. He said that "extraordinary observations require extraordinary evidence to make them believable." There is not extraordinary evidence of (as far as I know) all the claims that have been made that we did NOT go to the Moon.
10. He's been to the wreck of the Titanic in a yellow submarine.
I was very close to the top of my class at West Point. And I continued to expand my understanding of the world around me, and the human evolutions here on earth, the achievements perhaps to other people are impressive when I tell them that not only have I been to the North Pole, I haven't been to the South Pole yet, but I have been to the Titanic in a little yellow french submarine. It took an hour and a half just to sink down in the ocean about 2 miles deep to look out the thick glass window and see the Titanic. The visibility was such that we could see the bow, it became very famous in the movie thanks to James Cameron, but the visibility was not so good that you could actually see the bottom of the ocean that the Titanic was resting on. So it was an eerie site, of a ship festooned with rusting metal, like gingerbread. Floating, floating out the window in the Ocean.
11. His favourite flavour of ice cream is coconut.
12. "Magnificent desolation" is how he describes the lunar landscape.
My first words of my impression of being on the surface of the Moon that just came to my mind was "Magnificent desolation." The magnificence of human beings, humanity, Planet Earth, maturing the technologies, imagination and courage to expand our capabilities beyond the next ocean, to dream about being on the Moon, and then taking advantage of increases in technology and carrying out that dream - achieving that is magnificent testimony to humanity. But it is also desolate - there is no place on earth as desolate as what I was viewing in those first moments on the Lunar Surface.
Because I realized what I was looking at, towards the horizon and in every direction, had not changed in hundreds, thousands of years. Beyond me I could see the moon curving away - no atmosphere, black sky. Cold. Colder than anyone could experience on Earth when the sun is up- but when the sun is up for 14 days, it gets very, very hot. No sign of life whatsoever.
That is desolate. More desolate than any place on Earth.

I think they need to have a little more respect and a little more understanding. And also I dont like how they try and confuse you with the laws and rules in the Regulations. Making simple statment's into complex puzzles that you have to read between the lines to understand. How does evertyone feel about today's game department/ wardens?

Fabled London nightclub Fabric is to reopen after the local council on Monday reversed its decision to revoke its licence following several drug-related deaths, in exchange for a strict new door policy.
Judge Robin McPhee at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court in north London ruled that the club could operate again after Islington Council said it would not oppose Fabric in its appeal, which was due to start next week.
London mayor Sadiq Khan called the ruling "fantastic news".
"Fabric re-opening shows we can find common-sense solutions that protect both the future of clubs and the safety of all clubbers," he wrote on Twitter.
Islington council revoked Fabric's licence in September at the request of police, following the deaths of two teenagers from suspected drug overdoses.
Fabric is globally renowned for its drum and bass, techno and house nights, and its closure highlighted the plight of London's clubs, which have halved in number in eight years, according to Khan.
Islington Council said it had approved the deal after Fabric "offered many new additional conditions to be added to its licence, all of which are designed to ensure a zero tolerance approach to drug possession, consumption and sale within the club."
New measures include the use of an ID scanning system, enhanced searching procedures, covert surveillance within the club, life-time bans for anyone found in possession of drugs and a ban on those aged under 19.
The most recent death was of an 18-year-old man, who had taken Ecstasy during a visit to Fabric in August. That came six weeks after another 18 year-old died in similar circumstances.
Since 2011 there have been a further four deaths, leading the Metropolitan Police to make an application to revoke its licence.
Khan previously described Fabric as an "essential part of our cultural landscape" and said that its closure pointed "to a wider problem of how we protect London's night-time economy, while ensuring it is safe and enjoyable for everyone".
Fabric has attracted many of the world's top DJs and claims six million people have stepped through its doors since its opening in a old meat-processing area of north London in 1999.

I just got back from RMAF. Interesting mish mash of headphones and high end audio gears all in one room. Some quick impressions. The new Alpha Dogs was on display. Sounds great. Neutral, very natural smooth and expansive sounding headphone excellent detail all around. Was the new darling of the show. I had a good conversation with the head man and they definitely know what they are doing tuning them Alpha Dogs. Many of the other hardware companies was using the Alpha Dogs to show off their amps and such..But believe it or not It wasn't the Alpha Dogs that impressed me the most. Keep reading.
Got to hear the Cardas earphones.. Big sound to them I will have a better listening session with them soon but was impressed with how big they sounded for earphones.. Hifimans. HD800s. Got to take a brief listen to most of what was there..
They all sounded real nice..TH900 is awesome headphone but I don't know if they are worth spending that kind of cheese. I have just as much satisfaction with my X1 out of my NFB-5 so that was surprising that it didn't blow my mind with it's sound..They do sound incredible but not 6X incredible from my X1 set up. So what impressed me the most you might ask? Believe it or not I walked away from the Philips booth very impressed with their new upcoming Fidelio L2. The phones are not big but the sound is. I couldn't believe the scale of sound these mid sized cans was emitting..The sound was rich, expansive and hit all the notes with authority. I liked them a lot. They will retail for $300 when released but should go down toward the $200 range for street prices.
Funny moment. I went up to Tyll and told him who I was. He was like WHAT!!!!? Dsnuts. You know. "Oh yea" Lol..
RHA was there but was somewhat ignored by the masses. I kinda felt bad about their booth as it had 2 ladies sitting there with the RHA MA600 and RHA MA700. Not really much to show... Not getting much attention. Which is a shame. Too many big players in the same room for folks to pay attention to them. They had a very minimal display.. I will have to contact RHA and tell them they need to do something about that maybe for their next trade show. The Philips booth was right in front of them getting all the attention. Found out why the S2 sounds as good as they do. It uses a dual layer diaphragm the S1 doesn't. And I did get word they are considering a much higher end earphone this is from the guy that made the S2...The lead engineer was on hand and they tell me they read the threads here at headfi and get a lot of feedback so our voices are heard by the manufacturers..They know about the gimpy stock cable on the X1 and their excuse was that everything was accounted for in pricing out the X1. So in other words they went cheap on the cable to shave cost..
Anyways that was that..Heard a lot of high end stuff at the show and the one thing I got out of it? My stuff holds up very nicely to the worlds finest audio gears but my stuff don't cost as much. Lol. I think your average enthusiast would have been more impressed with what was on hand but after a while they all sounded good but nothing really blew me away..It seems high end stuff is just incremental differences. Some have better stage some have better clarity, some have better bass. ect ect..We shell out them big bucks just to have it.. The industry is alive and well...
I was introducing myself to the ladies at RHA. Ya my name is Dsnuts.> What?!!! lol!! Lady killa man lady killa!

For once, the dour and ultra-cautious Kansas senator could not contain himself. Two hours before the polls had even closed in California, he went before a victory rally a continent away in Washington DC to proclaim what for everyone else has been plain as a pikestaff for a fortnight, that he will be Mr Clinton's challenger in November.
No matter that polls put him far behind the President or that Mr Perot gives stronger signals by the day that he intends to make a second run for the White House. Within the Republican party at least, Mr Dole is the unquestioned master, and the results on Tuesday proved it.
With his 23rd, 24th and 25th straight primary wins, he trounced Mr Buchanan, his sole remaining rival, by a massive 66 per cent to 18 per cent in California, by 52 per cent to 15 per cent in Nevada and 63 per cent to 21 per cent in Washington state, guaranteeing himself some 1,200 delegates at the San Diego convention - far more than the majority required of 996.
"The primaries have clarified the issues," Mr Dole told his supporters. "They've made the party stronger . . . and have opened the way for a winning Republican coalition in November." But putting that coalition together will anything but easy.
Grudgingly, Mr Buchanan has conceded defeat, and today will meet his advisers to plot future strategy.
But although the fiery former commentator now seems unlikely to leave the party and run as an independent this autumn, he intends to take his harshly populist and right-wing message all the way to San Diego, making it harder for Mr Dole to move back to the political centre where he is more comfortable - and where elections are won and lost.
Nor does Mr Dole appear any more successful in his pleas to Mr Perot to stay out of the race.
Moving to exploit the news lull in the campaign as he did in 1992, the Texan businessman this week began a speaking tour around the country to press his new Reform Party, and dropping hints at every stop that, should supporters so decide, he will be only too delighted to be their candidate.
In fact, Mr Perot notwithstanding, the outlook for Mr Dole is less bleak than suggested by the current polls putting Mr Clinton 10 or 15 points ahead. For one thing, that gap will narrow now that he has clinched the nomination. Second, the electoral college arithmetic favours the Republicans.
Barring a powerful independent challenge, several Southern and Rocky Mountain states which voted Democrat in 1992 are unlikely to do so again, meaning that the election's real battleground will be the big Mid-Western states of Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan. And even the independent challenge might not spell disaster.
Although conventional wisdom suggests Mr Perot would take votes overwhelmingly from the Republicans, detailed polling shows his supporters are less well educated and more blue collar than in 1992, and that a 1996 Perot run would hurt Mr Clinton and Mr Dole in equal measure.
And in California, a helpful complication beckons for the Republicans in the person of Ralph Nader, the 63-year-old consumer advocate and Green Party candidate this November, who will take votes predominantly from the Democrats.

Make Ahead RecipeYes
Kid FriendlyYes
One Pot MealYes
OccasionCasual Dinner Party, Formal Dinner Party
Recipe Coursedessert
Equipmentelectric mixer, springform pan
Five Ingredients or LessYes
Taste and Texturechocolatey, creamy, rich
Type of Dishchocolate dessert, frozen dessert
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup egg whites (from about 5 large eggs)
- 1½ cups sugar
- Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for finishing
- One 9-inch springform pan or other stainless steel mold
Place the 9-inch springform pan or other stainless steel mold in the freezer. Whip cream to a soft peak and refrigerate until needed.
Melt both chocolates over hot water, remove from heat and work in butter; set aside.
Combine egg whites and sugar in bowl of electric mixer, and place over pan of simmering water. Whisk gently until egg whites are hot and sugar is dissolved. Use an electric mixer with a whip to beat until cooled and increased in volume.
Quickly fold together chocolate mixture and meringue. Taste a spoonful to make sure the mixture is not any warmer than room temperature. If it is, let it cool for a few more minutes before folding in the whipped cream or the cream will melt and separate.
Scrape into frozen springform pan or mold and smooth the top with an offset metal spatula. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze overnight before serving.
To unmold, have a chilled platter ready. Dip a small, thin knife in hot water and run it around the inside of the pan to loosen dessert. Unbuckle side of springform and remove. Cover dessert with the chilled platter, invert, then lift off pan bottom. Dust very lightly with cocoa immediately before serving or stick chocolate shavings all over top and sides of mousse. Return to freezer until time to serve.
SERVING: This is great with a rich chocolate sauce or some crushed, sweetened berries.
FROZEN CHOCOLATE CHARLOTTE: Line the sides and bottom of a springform pan with ladyfingers. Pour in the chocolate mixture and freeze as above. To finish the charlotte, top with milk chocolate shavings then remove the side of the springform and slide the dessert from the springform base to a platter, using a wide metal spatula.
FROZEN DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE: Bake and cool a devil's food cake. Slice the cake into three horizontal layers, each about ½ inch thick. Trim each to 9 inches using the outside of a 9-inch springform pan, so that the layer will fit tightly in the pan. Place a layer in the bottom of the 9-inch springform pan and cover with half the chocolate mixture. Cover with another layer and the remaining mousse. Top with the last layer. Wrap and freeze as above. Next day, or when you intend to serve the cake, unmold and mask the outside with sweetened whipped cream. Press milk or mixed milk and white chocolate shavings into the whipped cream. Return the cake to the freezer. About an hour before serving, place cake in refrigerator to soften slightly.

Fullerton backs all recalls
FULLERTON A recall campaign aimed at ousting three councilmen in the wake of Kelly Thomas' death was headed to success Tuesday by a 2-1 margin.
The push to remove Don Bankhead, F. Richard Jones and Pat McKinley was prompted by the death of the homeless man after a confrontation with police officers in July. The death left two officers facing charges and put the Police Department and the city's leadership under scrutiny.
Any council member recalled would leave office and be replaced, possibly at the July 17 council meeting, by the highest finisher in that race.
Travis Kiger, an information-technology specialist who says he favors small government, comfortably led over four others in the race to replace Jones. Attorney Doug Chaffee, one of four targeting McKinley, held a solid lead. Greg Sebourn, among four targeting Bankhead, had a comfortable lead.
At press time, the results include the absentee ballots, which were expected to be a large slice of the total ballots, and more than half of the precincts.
Sebourn said that if the three council members lose their posts, "I'd expect big changes in Fullerton."
He said one of the first actions he plans to take, if he wins, is to demand a top-down audit of all city departments.
"I'm grateful to the voters for giving me their vote of confidence," Sebourn said.
Tony Bushala, founder of the Friends for Fullerton's Future blog and a vice president of a firm that owns and manages properties in the city, spearheaded the recall and virtually single-handedly financed it, pumping $235,000 into the campaign.
Bushala launched the effort in September, mostly because of what he said has been poor leadership by the three councilmen after the death of Thomas, a mentally ill transient who died after the July 5 altercation with police in a downtown parking lot.
Larry Bennett, a Fullerton planning commissioner, led a campaign opposing the recall that spent close to $90,000. Bennett has said that Bushala has a history of giving big money to political allies to further his political and financial agendas.
All three councilmen have said Bushala spent thousands to get them out of office in order get his own candidates elected and gain control of the five-member council. Kiger and Sebourn are backed by Bushala.
"We put up the best fight we could with the resources we had," Bennett said Tuesday evening, acknowledging that the early returns didn't look good for the three incumbents.
"The voters have spoken. ... We couldn't overcome the 3-to-1 spending."
Within weeks of Thomas' death, Councilmembers Sharon Quirk-Silva and Bruce Whitaker called for police Chief Michael Sellers to resign; in August, he took a medical leave, then retired in February.
In the days after the death, as media attention focused on the town and weekly protests from residents demanded accountability, Bankhead, Jones and McKinley largely remained silent, saying they were told by the city attorney to withhold opinions on the death.
Kelly Thomas' father, Ron, spent Tuesday evening at the City Council meeting, then went to a downtown restaurant, where a pro-recall party was held. "I'm OK with the recall, but it doesn't change my mission in getting justice for Kelly," he said. "Now the new folks are going to have to answer my questions."
Thomas said he wants Fullerton to become a charter-law city, and then he will move from Cypress and run for mayor.
The recall election will end up costing the city up to $160,000, the amount charged by the registrar of voters, City Clerk Lucinda Williams said.

The last two decades mark a conceptual revolution in immune recognition, switching from one based on engagement of clonal receptor to one that integrates pattern recognition with clonal recognition. The pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP) interacts with several evolutionally conserved pathways, such as Toll-like receptors (TLR) or NOD-like receptors (NLR) to initiate adaptive immune response, although it is now clear that the function of this pattern recognition goes well beyond innate immune protection and initiation of adaptive immunity. In addition to foreign pathogens, the host is also able to respond to injuries through inflammation. Interestingly, one of the signature molecules released during cellular injury, HMGB1, also interacts with TLR. However, this response must be kept under control in order to avoid excessive autoimmune damage following tissue injuries. How the engagement of the same receptor by PAMP would lead to different outcomes than elicited by molecules released during cellular injury remains largely unknown. In the last funding period, we discovered that CD24 on APC negatively regulates T-cell responses to homeostatic cue. In search for molecular mechanisms by which CD24 negatively regulate APC function, we identified two novel CD24 ligands, HMGB1 and SIglec G/10. Based on these discoveries, we hypothesize that CD24 may serve as an important negative regulator for the host response to cellular injury and a molecular mechanism for the negative regulation. This hypothesis will be tested in three sets of experiments. 1). What is the role for CD24-HMGB1 interaction in limiting inflammation, homeostatic proliferation and potential priming of T cells by contents of cellular injuries? We will first study the response of WT and CD24-deficient neonates for their inflammatory response and homeostatic proliferation to HMGB1 stimulation. This will be extended into adult immune competent mice to determine whether CD24 prevent priming of autoreactive T cells specific for antigens released in the context of cellular injury. 2). What is the role for SIglecG/10 in the enhanced homeostatic proliferation? Our preliminary studies indicated that CD24 physically interacts with SIglec 10/G. We will examine the role for SIglecG/10 in APC and T cells in their responses to HMGB1 and determine whether the effect of target mutation with SIglecG and CD24 are interchangeable or synergistic in regulating inflammatory response. 3). What is the molecular mechanism by which CD24 down-regulates inflammatory response initiated by HMGB1? Since SIglecG/10 has ITIM motifs in the cytoplasmic domain that was known to be associated with SHP1 and SHP2, we will test a hypothesis that SIglecG/10 is the signal transducer for CD24-mediated negative regulation. Our proposed studies may reveal a novel pathway for the regulation of host response to cellular injury. Since CD24 defects block the development of autoimmune diseases, our study provides a molecular basis linking inflammation to immunity to cancer or infection without provoking autoimmune diseases.

Another great Meg Cabot recommendation. Last time she led me to the funny and quirky novels in verse of Sonya Sones. Now I find myself completely immersed in Liza Palmer's second novel, laughing out loud, wiping tears from my eyes, as DH stares at me warily and scoots a bit closer to the far side of the bed. The title, cover, and marketing indicate your standard chick lit fare. But I found Seeing Me Naked to be a distinct cut above the rest.
Elisabeth Page is a pastry chef at the most exclusive restaurant in L.A. She chose the culinary arts as a way of escaping the overpowering influence of her father--a double Pulitzer prize winning Norman Mailor/Truman Capote/Ernest Hemingway composite. Elisabeth and her big brother Rascal (full name: Raskolnikov. Yeah.) have spent the majority of their privileged lives trying to get out from under dad's shadow. As a favor, Elisabeth donates a set of baking lessons at an auction for one of her mother's charities. Enter Daniel Sullivan: newly transplanted from Kansas assistant basketball coach at UCLA. Daniel bids on the lessons after Elisabeth rather snobbishly questions what a guy like him would do with baking lessons. And, just like that, we have a recipe for conflict. Elisabeth and Daniel have nothing in common and, after the first lesson, Daniel seems quite keen never to set foot in a kitchen again. But. He doesn't know who her father is. He's kind and funny and oh so far away from the cutthroat, upper crust, grin and bear it world Elisabeth has been living in. Plus (if she can manage to quash her knee jerk overeducated patrician reactions, aka Big If) he just might help take her mind off Will Houghton--her war correspondent boyfriend who she sees once every two years for one night at the most. A host of interesting and funny side characters fill Elisabeth's life and keep the story interesting.
This book is a treat from cover to cover. The characters are complex and carefully rendered. There is no black and white in the intricate web of family relationships they navigate. Difficult, messy, and painful as they are, Palmer shows how such relationships shape us, how influenced we are by our roots, and how, despite all this, we are still capable of becoming more than the sum of our parts and of allowing more people into our hearts than we thought they could hold. I look forward to checking out Palmer's first novel.

The FBI continues to investigate the death of 51-year-old Census field worker William Sparkman. Investigators say his body was found hanging from a tree in rural Kentucky September 12th with the word "fed" scrawled on his chest. Although not officially labeled a homocide, the death raises the issue of what safety training workers like Sparkman are getting, and what more the Census Bureau might do to make their job safer.
Officials with the American Federation of Government Employees are keeping a close eye on the case. President of the AFGE's Local 2782 Bill Schauman released a statement this week complaining of the "bruised" image federal workers have been given by politicians over the last thirty years.

Does what it says on the tin
Silicone-based primer that really goes the distance in smoothing out my face for base makeup. Pricey but worthwhile as you don't really need much. I find this works best layered under MUFE's colour-correcting primers, rather than over.
Was this review helpful?
The primer is good for oily to combination type of skin. You need a moisturizer underneath it before put the primer on. When you applied the primer, make sure you massage it really well and wait for 1-2 minutes before applying any foundatiom on top. This applied to any type of primer to have a flawless finish. 🤗

My friend recommended me STEP1 smoothing Primer.I am oily and combination skin. It's hard to find a primer,which is suitable for my skin type.After trying it , I have to say it is the best for a nude look. Creates an ultra-smooth canvas for makeup.

I love this primer, really smoothes out my skin, I apply it to my t zone area and where any visible pores and imperfections are and leaves my foundation looking smooth and flawless, my foundation lasts all day too!

Great for texture!
Great primer for smoothing out texture on your skin and doesn't have that strong silicone feeling, it's a lot more subtle and foundation glides over beautifully! I have dry skin and this doesn't dry it out at all, it prolongs my makeup over my textured areas which is a thumbs up from me!

Eh, it's okay but won't repurchase
Initial thoughts- I paid $55 for a pretty small primer haha. It feels nice on application though, however I have to be careful using this as I find it accentuates my pores and makes me look a little oily unless I take powder with me to touch up. I don't use this on a daily basis, only when I'm say going out to dinner or to an event that lasts no more than 3-4hours. Not something I would personally repurchase.

As a person with oily / combination skin and huge pores, this primer is a god send! It smooths out my skin so well and keeps me matte all day. Personally I think this would suit all skin types, not just oily/ combination. I definitely recommend this primer, best smoothing primer I've ever tried!

Spring Reins of Life - Horses, Humans & Healing 501c3
About us
Spring Reins of Life (SROL)
Spring Reins of Life is a non-profit 501c3 organization. We are an EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association) model program offering Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) and Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) which incorporates the use of horses for therapeutic intervention toward promoting emotional growth and healing. Our program is a team approach featuring a licensed Mental Health Professional (MHP), a certified Equine Specialist (ES), and Horse(s) specifically selected for their capacity to work with individuals who are troubled or suffering. We do not offer any riding or mounted activities in our program. While there are many benefits to horseback riding, the EAGALA model is a solution focused base that enhances the emotional benefits of behavioral rehearsal and the experiential component that is displayed when observing the horses in "free will" interacting with clients.
Animal assisted therapy with horses combines the positive emotional effects gained from the human/horse bond with opportunities to challenge and explore one's thoughts and internal struggles during activities with an equine partner. It is a therapeutic intervention that defeats the stigma often associated with traditional counseling, but more importantly, it is an intervention that works.
Spring Reins of Life provides services to those populations who have the least access to equine therapy yet are the same individuals who would derive the greatest benefit. Currently, we offer our services to the military and their families, bereaved children, at-risk youth and addiction recovery. We invite you to explore our website and learn more about our innovative and effective program promoting positive growth and healing.
Spring Reins of Life is dedicated to promoting psychological healing, emotional well-being and personal growth using the skills of mental health professionals and the assistance of horses. For thousands of years there has been a unique bond between humans and horses, it is our mission to enhance and leverage this bond to reach those individuals who are suffering from the effects of trauma, loss, drug addiction and/or the combined stressors and obstacles set forth by either circumstance or societal confines.

Teams are scrambling to make moves to beat the March 15 trade deadline. GMs are on the phone longer and harder than Jerry Maguire trying to keep Rod Tidwell as a client. Guys around the league have this date marked in their calendars, wary about if they've got to pack their bags and families to relocate somewhere else.
Nowadays, there are a plethora of media outlets that cover 24-hour trade rumors, seven days a week. More than likely, cats will wind up finding out they were dealt via text, tweet, Facebook status update, or hashtag first instead of receiving the news by a simple, courteous phone call from their former squad. Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman and Al-Farouq Aminu sure as hell didn't get a call from Donald Sterling the day they were shipped out to N'awlins as quick and reckless as Hurricane Katrina hit that city.
Nevertheless, getting traded could be a blessing in disguise for a lot of guys. The grass sometimes is greener elsewhere, particularly when you least expect or ask for it. Wale was shunned from Jigga Man's Roc Nation to then sign under Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group, like the Lakers trading Lamar Odom for a trade exception. That Wale move has turned out good enough to make him the 10th hottest MC in the game.
Similarly, a change of scenery can bring out the best in a player's talent through providing the minutes, responsibility and overall opportunity necessary to channel it all. These next five cats should welcome and embrace a change in scenery in the coming days/year (if it ever happened), which will allow them to showcase their skills in a new environment. It isn't that these guys can't hoop, it is just time to move on.

5. DERON WILLIAMS (New Jersey Nets, Point Guard, Seven-Year Pro)
Can Hov trade for Dwight Howard and move the Nets to Brooklyn already?
Deron Williams dropped a career and NBA season-high of 57 the other night, and it went largely unseen. It's an utter shame the rest of the nation couldn't watch such a performance live unless you've got League Pass. D-Will's game is too smooth and flawless. The regular season will be over before we know it, and it'll be a travesty that we won't see him in a meaningful basketball game until the London Olympics. With the lack of national coverage he's had throughout his career, the only hoop expert that continually places him as the top PG in the NBA is Tim Legler. Is it really too much to ask for Williams to be part of a contending team right now as these playoffs are prepared to be one for the ages?
I suppose and only hope that the season-and-a-half he's about to spend in New Jersey will be a mere footnote once he's the catalyst of the Brooklyn Nets in the fall. Williams doesn't need a change of scenery as much as he needs Marty McFlys' DeLorean to speed up time. Still, the idea of him moving back to a Western Conference squad like the Lakers, Mavericks or Trail Blazers before the postseason starts would be too riveting to not dream for it. In a perfect basketball world, D-Will would be donnin' the Lakers' purple and gold to go at CP3 (13-4 career record versus him) and Lob City in the conference finals to claim the City of Angels and the best point guard title. His playoff career averages of 21.1 points, 9.6 dimes, 46 percent from the field, and 40 percent from downtown simply demand more performances of this caliber to be showcased when the competition and stakes are at its highest.
Otherwise, we'll have to wait until Jay-Z can bring a "New Day" to Brooklyn with D12 to join D-Will, so we can witness the basketball version of Watch the Throne.
4. O.J. MAYO (Memphis Grizzlies, Shooting Guard, Four-Year Pro)
As Kevin Love continues to make All-Star Games and post monster numbers on the game's elite at his position (42 points and ten boards against LaMarcus Aldridge and 39 points and 17 boards versus Blake Griffin), I'm sure O.J. Mayo is looking at a box score from a distance and thinking to himself: "Why can't I receive the same playing opportunity as the cat who I got traded for on draft night?"
Since last season and going into this one, Mayo has been relegated to be the scoring punch off the bench for the Memphis Grizzlies. Tony Allen's defensive prowess isn't going anywhere, which has meant Mayo has had to learn to accept the sixth man role instead of the go-to scorer he was projected since high school. Watching that old footage, you can see why most people, including us here at Dime, were hyping him up as the best high school prospect since LeBron. Mayo's minutes have decreased significantly after his sophomore year, from 38 minutes per game to 26.5 now. And although he may have come to terms with his reserved role, stating to the Commercial Appeal, "I'm happy in Memphis. Don't get twisted," it begs to wonder whether Mayo can fulfill some of the prodigal promise as a starter SG elsewhere.
Plenty of teams like the Bulls, Timberwolves and Clippers are openly looking to upgrade their starting shooting guard spot. While the Grizzlies definitely need his floor spacing and offensive streakiness more so than ever before, players have to look out for their personal goals and professional advancement. Mayo should look no further than his teammate in Allen. He left the contending Celtics to join the unproven Grizzlies for the sole purpose to earn a larger role and make an individually greater impact on the team's success. Mayo was nearly traded to the Indiana Pacers for Josh McRoberts on two different occasions. It shouldn't surprise him if the Grizzlies pull the trigger this time around because they didn't extend him and they owe their core about $63 million, as SI.com's Zach Lowe noted.
That said, Mayo still possesses some tantalizing, untapped talent that under the right situation could ultimately show the league he is "not a bad guy," as he once told ESPN's draft insider Chad Ford in response to Jay-Z's lyrics from "Say Hello."
3. ANDRAY BLATCHE (Washington Wizards, Power Forward, Seven-Year Pro)
Before there was "The Curious Case of Javale McGee," there was the curious case of Andray Blatche.
The Washington Wizards have had a history of guys who are just enigmas: from 'Sheed, to Hibachi, to Blatche and McGee, currently. Yet Blatche, in particular, is a forgotten, classic case of talent wasted on an awful team. The most talented player to ever come out of the cold slums of Syracuse, New York, fell all the way to the 49th pick in the 2005 NBA Draft. His underwhelming career averages of 9.9 points, 5.5 boards and 1.5 dimes are largely a byproduct of a poor coaching and cultural setting within the Wizards franchise. There's no way a kid that's 6-11 with his deft touch, shooting range and passing ability can't be successful in this league. Yes, in 2010 he got a three-year, $28 million extension based on potential, but it didn't have a chance to come to fruition because the proper infrastructure wasn't in place there to begin with.
The last two-month run of the 2009-10 season when Blatche went off for 22.1 points, 8.3 boards, and 3.6 assists can be the standard, not an aberration. Maybe those were empty stats that any cat could put up on a moribund squad. Except, how could you expect that kind of production to be sustained when he was coached by Eddie Jordan, Flip Saunders, Randy Wittman, and Ed Tapscott (Whoever the Hell that was)? None of those coaches are known as strict disciplinarians or genuine teachers of the game that'll nurture and develop talent who may be head cases. There's also the lack of true veterans present to show him tough love; rather he's always been around clowns that act younger than him, like Agent Zero, Nick Young and McGee. A little guidance and accountability along the way would've helped Blatche understand what it takes to be a real pro.
His antics are becoming urban folklore. When Blatche isn't shy to go on camera and show how he interacts socially with his teammates, people can easily deduce he doesn't take anything seriously. ESPN's Ryen Russillo has made Blatche a routine punch line. A fan once asked Russillo in a pubic chat room to provide an example to project whether Jimmer Fredette is "the next Mark Price or the next Eddie House." He replied with: "I think he's a mix with a little Andray Blatche." On this same chat later, someone proposed this trade: "LeBron for Blatche. Who says no?" Russillo answered: "Washington, obviously." Everyone is getting a piece of Blatche's Wizards for representing pro ball's version of the Washington Generals.
The Washington Post's Michael Lee detailed the current strained relationship between Blatche and Wizards fans: "The Wizards have aggressively sought to move Blatche by the March 15 deadline and fans at the Verizon Center have soured on Blatche to the point that he is booed every time he enters the game, touches the ball or makes a mistake."
These comical shots at him have evolved, or devolved, into somehow providing a sense of pride for Wizards fans.
SB Nation launched their Bullets Forever YouTube channel the other day, and the first episode delved into the chorus of boos towards Blatche.
"We also have to think about, like the Wizards, booing Blatche is really all we have right now. Blatche and Javale are like our claim to fame because we're at least entertaining without being the shi%iest team in the NBA. That's sort of what we've been hanging onto," said SB Nation's Andrew Sharp in their online installment debut.
Ernie Grunfeld must find a way to let him go. Blatche was once viewed as "a poor man's K.G." It would bode him well if he was sent to the Celtics' strong leadership to learn from Garnett himself. Then perhaps he could replicate those gaudy late 2010 numbers and develop into "a middle-class man's K.G."
2. MONTA ELLIS (Golden State Warriors, Shooting Guard, Seven-Year Pro)
Monta Ellis gets buckets.
Every hoops junkie identifies him as the most perennially-underrated baller in the game. The Golden State Warriors have been a haven situation for him to have the green light, and the chance to go-off versus any team in the league. The past three seasons Ellis has averaged 25.5, 24.1, and, currently, 22.1 points per game. Still, his scoring exploits leave something to be desired. For a cat that's only been to the playoffs once in his career, the Warriors have posted a 230-298 record with him on the squad. That's "winning" just 44 percent of the time. If there's one established star that needs to bolt to a competitive franchise to validate his standing, it's Monta Ellis.
After earning the Most Improved Player Award in 2007, I can't say how much he's improved his game since then. He definitely can score with the best of them, which goes without saying. At some point, though, in a prolific scorer's career, the number of points you drop become less meaningful if there isn't tangible team success to go with it. Nobody wants to be remembered as a cat that was nice, but stayed playing on weak teams. What made The Answer so great – besides his swagger and cultural icon status – was he delivered buckets that translated to W's, regardless of how whack his teammates were. So I don't know why fans place Ellis on an Iverson-esque pedestal when he's not touching that level of greatness.
ESPN The Magazine's Chris Palmer assessed Ellis' standing prior to this season during ESPN's NBA player rank campaign: "He's the third best player in his position behind Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade. People look at Monta and say, 'this guy is a one-dimensional shooter.' Yea, he's so one-dimensional he led all two-guards in assists; he led all two-guards in steals. Like a lot of small players, he's unfairly labeled a gunner. Speaking of small players labeled a gunner, Monta's numbers were as good, sometimes better than Allen Iverson's numbers the year he won the MVP."
I'm sorry. But those dimes and cookies he generates come from a system that played the fifth highest pace (97.4) in the league last year, based on John Hollinger's pace factor (the number of possessions a team uses per game).
"Unfairly labeled a gunner?" According to Basketball-Reference.com, Ellis took the second-most field goal attempts in the NBA last season with 1,611 shots. Only Kobe attempted 28 more. Plus, all of his stats last year were possible because he played a league-leading 3,227 minutes. The next SG was 13th overall (Ray Allen) with 327 less minutes. And I don't want to begin to refute Palmer's last claim in comparison to A.I.
Nonetheless, Iverson's 2000-01 Sixers finished with the best record in the Eastern Conference (56-26), a scoring title (31.1 ppg) and steal crown (2.5 spg). By contrast: Ellis' Warriors best campaign (48-34), non-scoring title (25.5), and one steal crown (2.1 spg). Even these juxtaposed stats don't come close to measuring up with the great Answer.
Besides, there's no denying the backcourt combination of Ellis and Stephen Curry meshes as well as Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Phil Collins in their joint "Home." Curry is clearly the Warriors' preferred building block going forward. They really can't improve their respective games together. Both need the rock to flourish and they can't just stand there waiting on offense while the other does his thing. At this point, Ellis looks like the older brother who still wants all the glory when it's time for the little brother in Curry to get his real shine. The ongoing trade speculation of the past couple of years supports that, and this year is no different.
TrueHoop's Henry Abbott would rather "leave" Monta Ellis than take him on a trade: "Walking proof that a high points-per-game total does not equal high productivity. Also, and I realize I'm digging in the archives for this, but: Explain the moped injury to me again?"
Rappers like Common can chill with him for charity events, Yung God could spit about him as an All-Star snub, and Bun B and Monta Ellis, himself, maybe on their "Full Time Grind," but it's time to end this debate and find out whether Ellis can grind the same way on a real contender to merit all the street cred he's been given.

Perhaps many of us are familiar with the barnyard tale of Chicken Little, who, depending on the variation of the story, was frightened out of his wits when a leaf fell on him.
Chicken Little ran around the farm warning: "The sky is falling; the sky is falling."
Mt. Pleasant Baptist
"I Believe" was beautifully sung by Barry Winkle last week. Flo Parker joyfully sang "Follow Me" Sunday.
"He Didn't Throw the Clay Away" from Jeremiah 18:1-6 was the basis of Bro. Dale's message. God is a patient potter, and we are the clay. We were made by God but marred by sin.
A distraught woman called 911, desperately seeking help to find her missing parrot.
"We can't help you with that, ma'am," the dispatcher told her. "This number is for real emergencies only."
"But you don't understand," the woman persisted. "This is a real emergency. The only thing he knows how to say is: 'Here kitty, kitty.'"
Have you seen "This is Us?"
It's an NBC drama on Tuesday nights that follows the Pearson family: three siblings -- Kevin, Kate and Randall -- and their parents, Jack and Rebecca.
Actually, Kevin and Kate are two-thirds of a set of triplets. The third triplet, Kyle, died at birth.
Monterey Baptist
We are very happy to welcome the Todd Woodyard family into our MBC family. We are excited to know what God has in store for this family.
Wednesday night has something for all ages. The Rock Stars (children) meet in the sanctuary, the men's Bible study meet in the fellowship hall and the women's Bible study meet in the youth room. All begin at 7 p.m.
First Baptist Owenton
We give glory to God for another wonderful day of worship. Our pastor brought a message from John 8:31-31 on the marks and benefits of a Christian. During the evening we enjoyed the Family Fun Fellowship and what a night of great activities, food, and fellowship.
The Church Co-ed Volleyball League is now in full swing and matches will be played every Monday evening which will result in the basketball court being closed from 5:45 p.m.-closing. First Baptist will play at 7:30 p.m., this Monday.
There's always something new to click on Facebook, and recently it's been "What Has 2016 Taught You?"
According to Facebook, here's what I've supposedly learned this past year:
"Forgiving is easy; it's trusting them again that's hard."
The folks or whoever/whatever at Facebook added, "The past year has changed you completely. You've seen your life from a completely different angle, and this led you to new experiences."
For Christmas I gave my husband Psalm 91.
Not all of it, just the first two verses:
"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the most high will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust."
I found an artist on the Etsy website who hand paints scripture verses, white lettering on rustic gray paper.

Together, the two books constitute a complete old and new testament to the men and women of the Canadian Corps, their families, and, in some cases, their living memories, moving and acting among us, here and now. Ward McBurney lives in Toronto. He is the author of two collections of radio stories, broadcast over the CBC, three collections of poetry, and two novels.< Less
