This product is great, it's definitely worth the hype but I'm not sure it's worth the money. First of all, it is an illuminating concealer- seems simple, but it makes your eyes look SO bright even at your tiredest.
The texture is gorgeous, creamy but not too thick or greasy so it never looks caked on or fake.
One thing is the price is extortionate! I've also used products which are very similar to this one but that don't cost as much.
It does last a considerable amount of time, but most concealers do. Problem is, it's wand applicable, which means germs must be prevalent.
I would also like to point out that YSL test on animals and have never even considered stopping which is a bit of a downside for me as always.
As a young lady, I was only able to afford this product when it was given to me by my mother for my birthday:(
I received this concealer/highlighter as a birthday present. The gold packaging is nice and looks expensive. I was bought the 'light' shade, as I am fair skinned. It glides on beautifully and is easy to rub in, however it made my skin whiter and I looked like a ghost. I needed bronzer to give me some colour! I used it everyday and it lasted a while, although the click button started getting hard to press and it needs a few clicks to get the concealer out. I did like this, but I wouldn't buy it for myself. Its too pricey for what it is and I can think of other concealers that do the job just as well!
I bought Touche Eclat with a giftcard I was given for Christmas, I had heard and read all the hype about the supposed Best Hightlighter on the Market and thought I would give it a go. That was three years ago now and it is my preferred highlighter. It gives such great coverage and you only need a very small dab per under eye section. I suffer with sleepless nights and dark circles under my eyes and using Touche Eclat makes my eyes appear much brighter.
Because you only need a small amount the highlighter pen lasts a long time, and is definitely worth the price tag. There are cheaper highlighters available on the market and I have tried a few but this one beats them all. You definitely get what you pay for and with Touche Eclat this includes the high quality packaging which looks great in your makeup bag! I will continue to use Touch Eclat, I buy it as gifts for my girl friends and female family members and would highly recommend it.
I agree that it is the best highlighter pen on the market and you definitely get what you pay for. After using some of the cheaper alternatives on the market I always go back to Touche Eclat.
The price of this would suggest that it is absolutely great and does exactly what it is meant to do.
But of course, that is not the case.
Having dark circles under the eyes runs in my family, and unfortunately for me, the gene didn't skip me...
I have tried so many concealers, and none of them work at all!
So i turned to this one, having read more positive than negative reviews.
It definitely looks appealing, with its shiny gold exterior- very posh!
Then to actually get the product out, you just remove the lid, then click the top of the 'pen' and a little bit of product should come out.
You then dab on your eyes straight from the brush, or put it on the back of your hand and use your finger to apply.
The liquid is rather thin, a plus for many due to the fact that most people do not like applying heavy products on their skin (me included)
But no, it does not cover up my dark circles, in fact, it highlights them even more as it just makes them shiny more than anything.
What a disappointment for £18.
YSL's Touche Eclat has long been an iconic highlighter pen known for making skin look luminous. The new Radiant version lives up to this iconic status, minimising shadows, pigmentation, red areas and dark spots whilst adding a light-reflecting radiance. The tube cost me around £23, but the price can vary from around £20 to £26.
The highlighter is in a simple shiny gold tube with black lettering. It's elegant, stylish and sleek and looks great both in my beauty bag and on my dressing table. Due to the shiny colour it is also easy to find when rummaging around in your handbag or make up bag!
The applicator brush is firm but still flexible, allowing you to apply the highlighter in specific areas, whilst keeping it fresh and natural looking. None of the hairs in the brush fell out, and the brush stayed firm despite a lot of use. There is a simple black push up button at the base of the tube which when pushed up fills the brush with the highligter liquid. I have used the product for around 4 months, virtually every day, and there is still highlighter left in the tube (though I cannot see this I can presume this, due to the ease in which the highlighter is being pushed up into the brush).
YES! The highlighter both illuminates and conceals dark, pigmented and red areas of the face. Though I would mention that this isn't really an alternative to concealer as the coverage is not that great. I'd recommend this product for those who have a good foundation base and wish to highlight specific areas or luminate skin which is imperfect.
For me, this product is to expensive for what it achieves. It highlights well and blends imperfections but lots of products act similarly.
After buying many products similar to this I have finally found one that works! I have quite dark circles around my eyes and pigmentation around my upper lip area. When the Yves Saint Laurent representative tried this product on me in the shops, it simply transformed my face. I was not expecting such excellent results, the dark circles under my eyes were not visible and my pigmentation was as if it didn't exist! This can be used as a highlighter or a concealer on any part of your face. This product first only came in a few shades but now it available in many many shades to suit all skin tones! I often find that when buying a concealer there is a need to wear foundation on top, but this product blends into your skin so well that there is no need to wear foundation to cover anything up. After buying different concealers, from all brands such as Rimmel, Maxfactor, MAC, Dior, Bobbi Brown, I honestly feel that this one is the best I have ever used! It has a very light texture and does not look obvious or heavy on your skin at all, it looks more natural! The only thing I found was that the Yves Saint Laurent representative put on this product a lot better than I did. It has a brush at the end of it but the Yves Saint Laurent representative applied the highlighter and concealer with her finger tips. I personally find it easier to spread the product around my eye area (covering my eye lid as well) with the brush then try to blend it into my skin using my fingertips. It is a bit pricey if you don't usually spend a lot on make up but I would really recommend buying this! It also lasts a long time and looks very stylish in your make up bag! You don't have to worry about it leaking or breaking and smashing in your make up bag as to activate the product you need to click the bottom, like a pen. You really will not be disappointed with this product as I have now been converted. When you go to the Yves Saint Laurent representative they may try to sell you an moisturising cream before hand (they did this with me) and it was said that this cream will make your skin tone look more lighter and radiant. However, I personally found that the moisturiser acted like any other moisturiser I have used that naturally makes your skin look radiant and lighter. Therefore, I would recommend that you use a good moisturiser before using this product and allow your skin about half an hour to soak up the moisturiser before applying any other products on it. Another tip I found useful is to apply a good primer to the areas where you will be using this product as then I found the concealer and highlighter stays on your face for longer giving you better results!!
I bought this hoping that it would make my eyes look a little less tired and I loved it! It's in a really nice looking gold pen and you brush the make-up on using the brush tip. You have to click the bottom of the pen to release a bit of make-up into the brush ready to use, I found this really useful because it makes sure you don't waste any and as it's quite an expensive product that is the last thing you'd want to do! I used it on the dark circles under my eyes, a bit on my brow bone, on the cupids bow and on my cheek bones, just brush a bit onto the selected area and then pat in with your finger to blend. It worked really well by reflecting the light and lightening those areas and making my face look brighter and refreshed. I would thoroughly recommend Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat because it does what it says it will do, the only bad word I would have to say is that it is expensive but then that's what you would expect from a high end brand, I'd say it was worth the money though.
YSL touche éclat is a product that is simply raved about everywhere, by celebrities, to beauty editors to your average Joe (Josephine?) on the street. I've lost count of how many times I've been told "it's worth the money" & so finally splashed out about 2 months ago. I must say that I regret it..
One thing I can't fault: this comes in a study feeling metallic box featuring the product & the instructions. The product itself has a gold finish, which is not a sticker but the actual material, although I hesitate to say what that is! Definitely a nice looking product :)
**The product itself**
The product looks like a small mascara, & works by pressing a black button on one end. The liquid slowly comes up through the light-coloured brush so you can see how much you have on it. I think this method is great as you really can control how much you get on the brush, avoiding waste.
I use this product mostly for the bags under my eyes obtained during the dreaded three months of 'continual assessment' at uni - between that & my full-time waitressing job I was sleeping 2-3 hours a night for months on end & it really took its toll. I have sunken bags under my eyes, they are often puffy & the skin is dark blue at times! I do find that this product works wonders. It doesn't offer a thick coverage but it does seem to reflect the light which really lightens the whole area. I would go as far to say it looks 'radiant'!
I don't really think this product is suitable as a concealer, the coverge is not good enough to hide any flaws.
In the product instructions, there is a description of how to use this as a highlighter to really lighten up your skin, but having tried it a few times I think it is just silly!
This product is incredibly expensive. It seems to cost an absolute minimum of 20pounds, & YSL don't seem to do promotions.
**My verdict**
I do think this is a wonderful product. However, as a student, the price is prohibitive for me & I don't think it is worth the money. I can't help but feel that careful use of a thicker conceealer & a highlighting product could do a similar job. So although I love it, I won't be buying it again.
I must say i am not surprised to hear that this little cult beauty product has just celebrated its 20th year as the uk's no1 luxury beauty product...this product is phenomainally AMAZING and is my EVERYTHING!!! I've been using it for about 6 years when my mum bought me one for my birthday and had always used the original shade 1...it sculpts...it highlights...it gives radiance...it banishes dark circles...i even use it as a base for my eyeshadow and lipstick!! I even use it when im not wearing any other makeup on my days off so its perfect for those ladies who like the au naturel look..
I will note here i am of a fair to medium complexion...but often use the sunbeds and fake tan. But because this is a transparent colour it blends with your skin torn regardless of your skin tone. You just have to look at the celebrities who use Touche Eclat and there is your proof. You have Kate Middleton, Rihanna, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. All of whom have a range of skin tones but can wear Touche Eclat with ease.
And now Yves Saint Laurent have spoiled us with 10 new shades for different tones! Alongside the original which i pop on top of my foundation to highlight my cheeks, brows and dark circles, I now also use shade 4.5 (which is a bit more yellow for when im especially dark under my eyes and for spots and shade 3 (which is a more tanned tone) in the hollow of my cheeks to define and sculpt.
All you need is one click to achieve maximum results. Apply your foundation first, Touche Eclat is applied on top, dab in gently, try not to drag the delicate eye area, the technology in this means it just glides onto the skin. Within 30 seconds the colour will adapt to your skintone. I always apply mine facing the window as you can really see the light reflecting technology that's exclusive to YSL work. Doing this also enables you to see how little you really need.Touche Eclat will never sit in the lines and wrinkles either. It has a treatment in there which actually hydrates the eye area and will never sit cakey or chalky (the same can't be said for other 'versions') However if on the rare occasion it is sitting dry, consider changing your eye cream as this could be the problem.
My fiance is an avid footballer and during a recent game was elbowed in the eye causing an absolute beauty of a purple and black eye. His job is of a professional nature and obviously to rock up sporting a black eye would have done nothing for his clients, so we tried Touche Eclat...(more out of intrigue than actually thinking it would work) I was amazed at the results for something as dark as that was and according to him for the whole 10 days he was 'made up' not one person noticed a) the black eye or b) his makeup!
For all the ladies out there who are 'struggling' with this I'd highly recommend popping to your nearest counter and asking for their expertise...you may need a slight tweek in your shade.
Why is it that women spend hours getting ready? So you can rock that "oh this, yeah, fell out of bed and looked like this..." you see, I am one of those who spend, probably much longer than most, putting on my makeup... just to make it look like I'm not wearing any! I have perfect skin...Obviously... not.
They were right in naming it the magic wand. I wanted this for so long but as it is quite expensive I held off and just kept on the review reading. All the Magazines, reviews and my friends swear by it so for one birthday several years ago (during an exciting trip to Harvey Nicholls) I was brought this and since then I have used it every single day. The product itself is marketed as a highlighting product, this means it is used to under the eyes, around the lips, above the eyebrows and anywhere that the light should hit your face. Now, it is not advertised as concealer but I do find it works well if you do, for whatever reason, need to cover something - Basically it works well as a "throw in your bag" and use for everything at times of need product.
The product does come in at £25 so it is pricey but for what you get it is well worth it. Not forgetting that this product is made my Yves Saint Laurent so it is a high end beauty item - yet it still comes in cheaper than some of the other high end alternatives.
I personally have found that the product lasts for around 4-5 months before I run out (normally just as I need it) but please bear in mind that I use this every morning and I top up through the day when I need it too so you wont go away feeling like you haven't had your monies worth. The quality of the product is phenomenal, it is extremely luxurious when you apply it to your skin and the packaging is extremely well designed. It comes in a "pen" form with a button on the end which you click to dispense just the right amount of product into the inbuilt brush - (Just to note with the application I find the brush leaves a few strokes on your skin so I use my finger to smooth over the edges)
YSL have now introduced this product in a range of different colours. Initially designed for fair skin they now stock 12 shades from pale to dark skin. As I have mentioned before I have very sensitive skin with some really troublesome spots and I am fine with it so this product will probably suit most skin types. I was informed by the lady at the YSL counter that this is also a moisturizing formula so it should suit very dry skin types.
This can be used on it's own or under/over foundation depending on your poison... Would I buy it again, yes, I am on my, probably 5th one..... Personally I think it is well worth the price for the 4 or 5 months of glowing "flawless" skin.
I have always struggled with covering up the dark circles under my eyes. I have very fair skin and the thinness of the skin often means that veins can show through. I have tried many different concealers over the years to try adn remedy it.
After reading several promising reviews and Touche Elcat being frequently listed as a make up essential I thought I would splash out. The packaging is very slick, and has the air of being the high end product it is. The product is dispensed through clicking the button on the end of the 'pen' (quite a satisfying noise!). I found it took a fair few clicks each time I used it (not just on first use) and then it would spurt out, which wasn't exactly ideal.
My main issue with the product was that it didn't sit on my skin well. I tried after all sorts of different face creams, moisturisers or bare skin but it always seemed to be on top of the skin rather than blended into it. Warming the pen or my hands did not help the situation.
I wouldn't say that this is worth the money, there are better concealers/highlighters on the market for much much less.
After hearing this product positively reviewed and recommended on quite a few occasions, I decided to splash out and order myself some. I believed it was meant to be useful for lightening under eye circles, and also for use as a general highlighter.
I ordered the original shade as I have fair skin, and it probably was near enough the right shade. It has quite a pink hue to the product, so although it is acceptable because of it's use as a highlighter rather than all over the face, I feel personally that it would be too pink for somebody with a warmer/yellow based skin tone.
The end of the touche eclat pen is a black button, which you press to dispense some of the product onto the brush. This is a really useful design feature as it keeps the product clean and simple to use and also means you can easily control how much of the product you use. It did take me a few attempts personally to remember not to put the lid back on while holding the bottom of the pen though, so I did waste a bit of product by dispensing it on closing. The pen shape also means that it is easy to store and to carry with you if you chose to.
Unfortunately I found the actual product inside the pen to be quite disappointing. I have quite dark circles under my eyes, so the product might work well for someone who just wants the tiniest bit of lightening, but I really don't think this touche eclat provides much coverage. Used in it's role as a highlighter, the product does have some light reflecting qualities... however, there are a few area where I would be keen to use a highlighting technique, and I believe that I have used better products in all of those areas than the touche eclat. For highlighting under the eyebrows, using a highlighting pencil is in my opinion a much easier and more precise method, and for highlighting temples or the cupids bow etc to "plump up" the areas, a basic concealer in a shade paler than the user's skin tone would work just as well if not better than this. That is because when applying the touche eclat under powder it's effect is massively lost when the powder is applied, but when applying over powder it is extremely easy to cause the powder to go patchy as this product is so liquid.
I cannot comment precisely as to how long this product would last as I do not use it often at all, and just apply it occasionally if I am wearing no other makeup as a way to avoiding wasting it. That said, you don't need to use much at all so I can imagine it would last a long time. Although the brush has stayed clean easily, and despite using it infrequently the product has continued to dispense easily.
I brought this product with high hopes. It is the go to product for banishing under eye shadows and is always highly rated in magazines. It is quite pricey, around £25, but I decided to treat myself after falling for the hype. Unfortunately I was disappointed.
The packaging is really nice and the product itself is well presented but I found it quite difficult to use. The click style dispenser should be really easy but I found that one click was not enough but two clicks was too much! This might sound silly but for the price you pay, you don't really want to waste any! The lid was also quite difficult to put back on without accidently clicking the end! Again, this meant I wasted quite a bit of the product.
The product is quite easy to apply and blended fairly well. However, I didn't see a massive difference. Although it made my undereye slightly lighter and I can see why it is described as light reflecting, I wasn't impressed. Also, if you use too much, it can look a little 'caked on' and it becomes obvious that you have tried to conceal under eye shadows.
I noticed that there are now more shades available for Touche Eclat and I'm sure that others find that it does the job, but sadly it's not for me. I feel that there are cheaper and more effective products now available.
This product is simply amazing!!! When my black-eyed, bleary-eyed reflection stares back at me from the mirror I don't panic!!! I know that with YSL Touche Eclat at my side, all will be ok.
With just a few small dabs under each eye, it blends effortlessly and immediately brightens the appearance of my eyes and disguises the dark circles in seconds. The pump action of the wand is easy to use and the brush quickly fills ready for use. It is easy to see when the brush is loaded so that not a drop of this precious liquid is wasted!
The one and only down side to this product is the cost. Although I would never be without it, the only reason I am able to own it at all is because my mum treats me!! I couldn't justify spending this much on makeup, however, I have tried numerous cheaper options and none cut the mustard!!! Used sparingly I can make this product last a couple of months (daily use) and too be honest, it is such a quality product that very little is needed anyway.
I decided to buy this product after reading amazing reviews online and in magazines, even on the television
The first time I tried Touche Éclat was in 2006 and fell in love with the product, initially I used it only to conceal under the eyes - although back then I hardly had any dark circles I would use it to open up the eyes and I would also use a tiny amount on the inner corners of the eyes, at the time I never even attempted to use this product as a highlighter.
This is one of the first products I take out of my make up bag on special occasions or on days I want to make that extra bit of an effort!
Everyone will have their own ways of applying Touche Éclat and not everyone will use it in the same order - some people like to use it over foundation however I prefer it under foundation. I moisturise my face then apply concealer mainly to my very dark circles and then over concealer I use Touche Éclat under the eyes, on the inside corners of my eyes, along the bridge and crease of my nose and on the brow bone.
I find my face instantly brightens up and with a little mascara I would be ready to go (that's if I was going for the natural look of course) - note the concealer I use under my eyes is one or two shades darker than the Touche Éclat number 1 shade I use otherwise if they were both the same shade I may look too bright and over made up.
From here I apply foundation start with my eye make-up. I do not always wear foundation but Touche Éclat for me does not always need to be enhanced by foundation, it works just fine on its own too.
I would say that for me Touche Éclat is more of a brightener/highlighter than a concealer - which is what I first thought it was.
At £25 this product is slightly on the dearer side when it comes to price so ensuring the correct shade for your complexion is very important before purchasing. Shade 1 being the lightest and I think it goes up to shade 7 as the darkest.
I definitely think this is an amazing product and works great for me however I feel there are products which work in a very similar way to this one but at the same time cost slightly less.
Packaging and usage
Touche Éclat comes in a beautiful elegant gold box. Once out of the box the actual product is a gold metal pen - it's so beautifully packaged but I'm afraid that may have something to do with the price I'm paying for it too.
There is a lid to cover the brush applicator and a black clicking button on the opposite end of the brush applicator, which is where the product miraculously appears after clicking the button but patience is required upon first time usage as many times I've panicked and thought I've been sold an empty Touche Éclat however many clicks later a tiny amount of product eventually appears.
I get away with one or two clicks of product when I use this, if there is a lot of product on the applicator I simply dab dots of the product under my eyes, if I haven't got a lot of product on the applicator I actually draw a line with the applicator over where I need coverage. You soon get to know the product and it is very easy to use.
Most of the time for me I need to apply two applications so once I've blended the first application I'll go again and repeat what I did first time round (I only do this under the eyes though)
For the bridge and crease of the nose and brow bones I also draw a very faint line and blend very well. Sometimes I use a tiny amount on the outer edge of my top lip or bottom lip (never around both lips as I just look like I've got a swollen mouth!) experimentation may be needed on this one before perfecting the final look...
To blend the product I simply dab or stipple with my ring finger (least amount of pressure) over the product until it has perfectly blended, if you move your finger over the application you may find you move the product rather than blending it so although it can be time consuming stippling is the most effective method of blending.
It's only 2.5ml but Touche Éclat lasts me a good while (over 6 months) but maybe it is because I do not use it everyday - more like once a week for me.
Overall I love this product I love the packaging and I love the way it transforms my face from tired looking mum to wide awake mum! Only a handful of beauty products do I truly rely on and YSL Touche Éclat is definitely one those products.
I did not hesitate about applying my own make up when I got married because I was confident that as long I used YSL Touche Éclat I would look just how I wanted to - and I did!

Papi could return to lineup this weekend
By Justin Albers / MLB.com
"I could see that, maybe," Valentine said. "That would be on schedule with what [the medical staff] talks about."
Ortiz did some agility work on the field before Thursday's game and also took batting practice indoors. Valentine said the designated hitter will likely run the bases on the field prior to Friday night's game, and he will be reevaluated afterward.
"Then we should know where he really is," Valentine said. "Yesterday, he said [there was no] stiffness, felt he could do a lot of things."
Ortiz hasn't played since July 16, and the Red Sox are just 9-13 in his absence. He's hitting .316 with 23 home runs and 58 RBIs in 89 games this season.
Sox reacquire Podsednik by signing him to deal
CLEVELAND -- The Red Sox have signed veteran outfielder Scott Podsednik to a Major League contract, a week and a half after trading him.
At the non-waiver Trade Deadline on July 31, the Sox dealt Podsednik and reliever Matt Albers for Craig Breslow, but Arizona recently released Podsednik after he declined to accept his assignment to Triple-A Reno.
To make room for Podsednik on the active roster, the Sox will option outfielder Ryan Kalish to Triple-A Pawtucket, according to The Boston Globe.
The 36-year-old Podsednik hit .387 with a home run and seven RBIs in 19 games for the Red Sox this season. Kalish was 3-for-19 with a double in seven games since being recalled on July 31.
Bailey takes step forward, close to returning
CLEVELAND -- Injured reliever Andrew Bailey pitched well in back-to-back appearances for Triple-A Pawtucket on Wednesday and Thursday, and he may be nearing a return to the big leagues.
Bailey allowed one hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning of work on Thursday afternoon. He pitched a 1-2-3 frame and struck out one in his appearance on Wednesday. Bailey consistently worked in the low 90s on Thursday, but he touched 94 mph. He is scheduled to pitch again for Pawtucket on Sunday.
"He had good velocity," manager Bobby Valentine said of the evaluation he received. "They liked his cutter, he threw a curveball or two. ... That's pretty good."
Bailey hasn't pitched this season after suffering a right thumb injury on a freak play during Spring Training. Bailey, who was acquired in an offseason trade with the A's, was projected to be Boston's closer this season, but when he was hurt, the job went to Alfredo Aceves.
"I feel real close," Bailey told Boston radio station WEEI. "I'm just kind of going along with the process here. ... It's been a long season, and it's not over yet. We've got some ballgames to win. I can't wait to join the guys and get some W's."
In five rehab appearances for Pawtucket and Double-A Portland, Bailey has allowed only one run in five innings, while striking out nine and walking one. Valentine said he would look at the data collected during Bailey's appearances after he pitches on Sunday before making a decision on whether to call him up.
Bailey had a 3.24 ERA and 24 saves in 42 appearances for Oakland last season.
Pedroia makes first career start as designated hitter
CLEVELAND -- Manager Bobby Valentine had a hard time talking Dustin Pedroia into an off-day. Valentine thought his second baseman needed some rest. Pedroia wanted to stay in the lineup. So the two came to a compromise of sorts -- half of a day off.
For the first time in his career, Pedroia was in the lineup as the Red Sox's designated hitter for Thursday night's game against the Indians. Pedro Ciriaco was penciled in at Pedroia's spot at second base.
"About four days ago, there was a little consensus that it was time," Valentine said of resting Pedroia. "I talked to him, and he always kind of talks you out of it. Then he had a good game, and then he felt good the next day, so this is just catching up on it."
Full-time DH David Ortiz is still on the disabled list with an ailing right Achilles, so Valentine felt like this was the best time to give Pedroia a defensive day off.
"While David is not here, to make the best use of that opportunity is prudent at this time," Valentine said.
Ciriaco hasn't gotten much playing time during his stint in the big leagues, so he was kind of surprised to see his name on the lineup card, especially at second base.
"But I'll be ready to play whatever they want me to play," he said.
Worth noting
Valentine confirmed that left-hander Franklin Morales will start Saturday's game against the Indians, and left-hander Jon Lester will go on Sunday.
Valentine said right-handed reliever Clayton Mortensen would likely not be available Thursday night after he pitched three innings in Wednesday's 10-9 loss to Texas.
Josh Beckett didn't have any pain in his back or shoulder after his start on Wednesday afternoon, said Valentine, who added that Beckett's legs felt strong throughout the outing.

Some idTech4 games progressThursday, April 11th, 2013
Great news from the people behind the idTech4 powered stealth FPS The Dark Mod: They are making great steps to leave their Doom3 mod legacy behind and a standalone version should not be all that far from now.
|New The Dark Mod replacement artwork
You can follow the progress here on their forums, and maybe you can also give them an helping hand.
Interestingly there are two other recently updated Doom3 mods, that could easily fit in as The Dark Mod mods, e.g. going stand alone with The Dark Mod's help.
The first one is a Hexen remake, called Hexen: Edge of Chaos:
And the other one is a prequel to the Arx: Fatalis (engine also FOSS, btw.) game, called Arx: End of Sun:
Sadly both of them use proprietary themes (and one could even argue that The Dark Mod is borderline infringing on one too), but I am still looking forward to try out these nice community creations once they become stand-alone!

46.1519 Drawing of trial jury.Cite as [A.S.C.A. § 46.1519]
(a) In the High Court, this section shall be applicable to the drawing of a trial jury and service thereon.
(b) Not later than 15 January of each year, the clerk shall draw at random from the names on the certified list of trial jurors such number of trial jury panels as is deemed sufficient for the ensuing year, each panel to consist of 18 names. When directed by the court, additional panels shall be drawn. The names and juror qualification forms for the prospective jurors on each panel shall be sealed in envelopes, 1 envelope for each panel. The envelopes shall remain sealed and in the custody of the clerk.
(c) Whenever a judge requires the services of a trial jury for use in proceedings before him or any other judge of the court, he may order the required number of panels from the clerk. Upon receipt by the judge of the envelopes containing the panels, the contents thereof shall be made available to the litigants concerned.
(d) The whole or any number of the jurors from a panel or panels ordered by a judge may be required to attend and serve. The names of those summoned and present, and not disqualified, excused or exempted, shall be placed in an appropriate container, from which there shall be drawn a sufficient number of names to constitute a trial jury. The drawing shall be by lot in open court under the supervision of the judge. There is no requirement that names on a particular panel be exhausted before those on another panel may be used in the drawing, and the names of jurors on different panels which have been transmitted to the judge may be mixed with each other in the container during the drawing. If a jury cannot be chosen for the trial of a case from the names placed in the container before the drawing commenced, additional names may be placed in the container. For this purpose additional panels may be ordered and the prospective jurors summoned. The judge may summon jurymen from among bystanders on consent of all parties.
(e) Prospective jurors in attendance but not actually serving in a trial before him shall be subject to such orders relative to further jury service as the judge deems appropriate, including service before other judges.
(f) Each panel ordered by a judge shall serve for a period of 30 days, commencing from the 1st day the panel is required to appear for service; provided, that any juror may be required to serve beyond the 30-day period for the trial of any case in which the selection of the jury commenced within that period. Upon completion of service by all members of a panel, such panel shall be returned to the clerk which shall not transmit such panel again to any judge until all other panels have been exhausted and other panels which served at a more remote time have been first transmitted for service.
(g) A judge may, having regard to the equitable distribution of jury service, excuse any juror after actual service in trial.History: 1980, PL 16-70 § 1.

AEA's Net Income Rises In Conservatorship
While operating under conservatorship, the $234 million AEA Federal Credit Union in Yuma, Ariz., posted year-end net income of $5.23 million for 2013, up from $3.15 million in the prior year.
The NCUA said AEA's "strong commitment to member service" led to the credit union's financial improvement.
AEA's total assets increased by $3 million from 2012 and the net worth ratio improved by 70 basis points, ending the fourth quarter at 4.72 percent.
AEA, established in 1942, currently serves 41,000 members and operates five branches. Membership at AEA is open to individuals and their family members, who live, work, worship or attend school in Yuma or La Paz counties in Arizona.
In December 2010, the NCUA placed AEA into conservatorship due to its declining financial state, deriving from problems with its member business loan portfolio.
"We have again seen progress in many areas, resulting in the credit union's positive performance in 2013," said Elizabeth Whitehead, NCUA Region V director and agent for the conservator, on Thursday.
"Having previously reduced the expense structure, streamlined operations and introduced new products and services we continued the process of returning AEA to the core credit union business model through the introduction of a member-centric sales-through-service culture."

Custom element Japanese name: Ha
Custom element English name: Tooth Release
The element is based on: Wind+Earth+Water
Facts that prove the element to be possible (in the manga context): Using and manipulating our body parts and organs is very much possible as we have witnessed this by the Kaguyas as they have the power and the capabilities to manipulate their bones and can also regenerate it at very face pace too. Also we have seen that character like kidomaru have extra
pair of hands which again proves that we can use our body's part and it's organs at our will. Manipulating our body parts can further be proved by the example of Jiraiya and Kurenai's hair techniques, which allows them to enlarge their hairs and then allows them to manipulate their hairs upto very high extent, that the normal shinobis can't perform. So taking into consideration that the body parts can be controlled and manipulated, the idea came into our mind to make
teeth as an element which is made up of wind chakra in high ratio, and water and earth in low ratio.
How it works: User focuses on his chakra and can use teeth as an element. This can be used by manipulating user's own teeth, or the teeth can also be forced to grow from the ground or from somewhere else. Its uses are similar to earth release techniques, but unlike in earth techniques tooth don't requires contact. User's ability increases the density of the created teeth, making them stronger than diamond which makes them a formidable opponent while in short range fight, as their own teeth are stronger or just like diamond, they can chew anything with ease, even high pillars of earth or metals.
Usage Examples:
(Ha: Ha No Jutsu) - Tooth Release: Tooth Release Technique
Rank: B
Type: Attack/Defence
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Descripton: Creates pillars, tools, and shields of teeth.
(Ha: Kyanon Hou) - Tooth Release: Cannon Gun
Rank: A
Type: Attack/Defence
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Descripton: User makes a single hand seal and a giant molar tooth rises from ground at 0*-90* angle with the pointed ends outwards, and on another hand seal, the tooth shoots at the target at tremendous speed.
Conditions to be able to use it: Mastery over wind, earth and water
Is weak to: Lightning and Wind. And all elements related to lightning and wind.
Is strong against: Earth, Water and Fire
Shikotsumyaku. All solid, liquid and fire elements.
Co-creator: Enzup the real mastermind
Students I passed this custom element on too: ? and ?
✗ Declined: If it doesn't fall under the Kaguya KG, it still would definitely fall under Mugi's Calcium CE.

As most people in Southwest Colorado are aware, Red Mountain Pass, along U.S. Highway 550, has been closed since Jan. 13 for repairs as the steep cliffs there had rockslides, making the highway impassable. Highway 550 runs north from the New Mexico border up through my entire district as far as Olathe and beyond.
Acknowledging that safety must come first, this is more than an inconvenience in traveling north and south in our area. The road closure has dramatically reduced the winter business of towns like Silverton and Ouray and business owners of hotels, restaurants and ski areas. This is not dissimilar to what Pagosa Springs went through last summer when Highway 160 was closed during the West Fork Complex fires.
The Colorado Department of Transportation realizes this and is hurrying to get the road re-opened. However, the time of year and the inaccessibility of the mountainside make the rockslide repairs especially challenging. I travel this route all the time when covering my district and, while it may surprise some, there are plenty of school buses, semis and passenger cars that traverse the mountains on this road, and it must be safe before it's re-opened.
One of the many things I love about our region is the way we pitch in when disaster strikes. In this case, we're lucky it's not a wildfire or flood, but Silverton and Ouray need their regional neighbors to help get them through this rough patch.
So, when you go skiing at Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort, head north for a meal or hotel room in Silverton this time. Valentine's Day is coming, and maybe your special someone would like a trip to Silverton or Ouray to celebrate. Silverton's annual skijoring festival is coming up and is one of my personal favorites. There's always skiing at Kendall and Silverton mountains to brag about and enjoy, and there's no bad time of year to enjoy Ouray's wonderful hot springs. Winter months give them special warmth. Check out the towns' chambers of commerce websites for more information on activities and accommodations.
These towns are wonderful and resilient, but, as we say, "you can't eat the scenery." Let's pitch in and take a trip there now, or again when the road re-opens. The wonderful CDOT snowplow drivers keep the passes clear and safe for travelers. Tourism is a large part of the economy of so many of the towns in my Senate district and these are no exception. The generosity of our region is notable to many, and I hope that we can do our best to help these towns and business owners get through this challenge.
Back at the Capitol in Denver, the pace is picking up. I have three bills in their first committee this week. The lineup includes: First, the possible change in method of electing county commissioners in counties with populations of 70,000 or fewer; second, a bill establishing a new procedure for reinstating parental rights in limited cases with older kids in the foster-care system whose parents have demonstrated long-term success in rehabilitation; and, third, the bill providing small, but immediate, death benefits for the families of fallen seasonal wildland firefighters.
All of this in one week, along with regular committee hearings and constituent visitors, means the time will fly by.
Ellen Roberts, R-Durango, represents the 6th District, which includes Durango, in the Colorado Senate. Reach her at the Capitol by phone, (303) 866-2914 or by fax (303) 866-2218; at home by phone (970) 564-0999 or by fax (970) 564-9236; or by email at email@example.com.

Discussion in 'Racing' started by pacman1, Oct 3, 2012.
Our spot is already designated...
Wonder if USAC is flagging for COTA? I'll have to give Sandy a BUZZ!
Would be nice to have next years race schedule flesh out with a trip to Leguna Seca, Indy and now, Austin...
Gonna be nice for me since I'm already in town. For the F1 race there won't be any onsite parking for the general masses, but I hope for the MotoGP there will be bike parking at the event. Hopefully they don't jack up the hotel rates for you all visiting like they did for F1.
Beat me to it, posted in regionals and jomamma. Cool, gonna make this one...20 miles from the house.
we'll be there! we were the 1st people to call about vending.
Can't even imagine having something like this in my own town. You are lucky.
So no one is allowed to drive to the F1 race and park their cars?
I already booked a hotel pretty close to the track.
parking tickets for F! are $200
Park downtown and ride their shuttles. Sucks, but beats the COTA parking prices. FWIW, I won't be attending F1 due to admission prices and outside food/drink policies, but parking isn't the thing keeping me away.
I'm thinking that this may be my spring break trip For 2013. Early thoughts would be to ride to Austin before the weekend then spend a couple days after the race riding the Hill Country before a ramble back home through Arkansas.
I'm prolly just gonna get a GA ticket since I've never seen the track layout and bounce around to see what's what. I've been to Austin once before for a weekend trip with Mrs. Easy but we didn't venture too far from the bars downtown. Would a guy be best off to stay downtown and shuttle it to the track or are there hotels closer to the track and park and rides that would make for a shorter trip?
That no outside food/drink policy is pretty harsh, WTF?
Any local advice is certainly appreciated
Basically, there are no hotels near the track. It was built in an undeveloped area and the amenities haven't caught up yet. Maybe by next year. The are hotels halfway between the track and downtown, downtown and around town.
welp,I guess I planted a seed with Mrs. Easy. She just suprised me with tix to the race/hotel downtown&airfare for Christmas
Not exactly what I had planned but we'll see how it morphs.
Already have tix for Indy sooooomight not be too huge a stretch to hit Laguna for s trifecta first year????
Going to grab my tickets this week, anyone attend F1 to know where the best view of the track is from? Turn 1, 15, or just certain GA sections? Also wondering about a hookup for paddock passes, it doesn't look like they are available unless you purchase a VIP package for $1,500+
Anybody have legit info on shuttles to/from the track? The website is terrible, still focused on F1 I find.
They did have some shuttle info on the COTA website (now i can't find it), mind you it was all about when F1 was on.
I'd rather fly in and stay near a shuttle stop than rent a car/parking/gas if it is just gonna sit all day anyway.
Website really is terrible. Anybody have a schedule for the events? When do gates open/close, practice? specific race start times, etc. ?
Hopefully more information will be coming out. It is still 3 months away. But - the entire weekends schedule must already be set up?
Skowinski-wife and I are flying to Houston, meeting up with friends who live there, and driving over early on the Sunday. Looking forward to it!
Daamit why didn't they get that going before I left ....
just confirmed baby sitter for the kids, Flight and Hotel booked, Looks like the OSJ's will be there!
If the two shuttle locations are the same as F1 (15th and Trinity and the Travis County Expo Center) then you will just want to stay downtown and catch that shuttle. The expo center is way out in BFE and there are no hotels nearby you would want to stay at. If you are flying all the way to Austin for the race you might as well enjoy the city.
Maybe you know someone here with a spare bedroom and bike to ride to the race?
I have a hotel room reserved at the downtown Courtyard Marriott just a couple blocks off 6th (think bars, pubs, restaurants, etc), and depending on if the wife and kids decide to come, I may have room to let.

LSI CTO touts promise of flash, open source
4 comments
SAN JOSE, Calif. The storage industry has just started to harvest opportunities in non-volatile memory and open source. Those were just two observations during a wide-ranging interview with Greg Huff, chief technology officer at LSI Corp.
Facebooks Open Compute Project (OCP) and the Open Networking Foundation are defining open source projects around computing and networking, respectively. In addition, OpenStack and others are creating open source code for cloud computing.
"Nobody has chosen to do for storage what Facebook has done for servers with their Open Compute initiative," Huff said.
OCP defines an open hardware rack that includes storage but what will be a future need is physical and logical management, including storage management, said Wayne M. Adams, Chair of the Storage Networking Industry Association that also is developing an open source version of its Cloud Data Management Interface for Openstack.
But Adams was skeptical about a broader opportunity. "There is no major significant gap in the industry for storage functionality whereby a new open source project needs to be launched," he said.
LSI's Greg Huff is bullish about the prospects for flash and open source storage.
Meanwhile, vendors are rushing headlong to plug flash memory into computers and network storage devices of all descriptions to deliver performance boosts and reap big profits. LSI is riding high on this trend with its recently acquired Sandforce flash controllers as well as flash cards for ultrabooks and combo RAID/flash cards for servers.

Discussion in 'Hacks' started by England-Kev, Nov 14, 2007.
Very nice Beemerhack, similar to mine.
What brand of wheels are these ?
Nice bags/cases too !!!
A few details. The bike is a BMW R1150GSA (my02). The front fork is a Sauer and the supportframe is a modified Sauer. The sidecar-specific building work was done by Mueller Gespanne. The rest I did myself. The rear-axle drive is from the R850GS (ratio 37/11). The sidecar is a shortened Mobec Enduro. It has been modified in such a way that our dogs can sit in there and enjoy the scenery.
Additionally there is a door added to the sidecar which is - when opened - a ramp for the dogs, so they can climb in and out by themselves
I have three Zarges box (2x#40837 @ sidecar, 1x40678 as topcase) and the panniers are Odyssey I from Jesse-luggage. All together, I have about 550l of space for all sorts of sensible and nonsense stuff
Of course I had to test ...
Besides the 30l fuel tank - I have 2x10l reserve cans - maybe I need to share some with Milady's bike
More pics, details and the story of SilberWolf can be found here.
I will have some more pics later ... right now the bike is slight disintegrated :eek1
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it I have just today put the finishing touches on my newest adventure sidecar
will post some pics a bit later today!
I honestly don't know the brand of wheel. Just know that they're not stock. The bags are nice fiberglass jobbies that stay *relatively* moisture free. :)
I enjoyed your video of your very nice rig. I bet she will walk the dog. Please post more videos.
[/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]I have had this rig finished for a couple of weeks now, but it needed a few adjustments.
Now fitted MRA screen, changed the rear standard shocks with ones that worked, installed lift blocks under the rear shocks, adjusted sidecar swing arm to level the set up, changed the rear tyres to 55 profile, all in all this has raised the bike by 90mm doesn't sound like much but it has made a huge difference to the ground clearance.
also fitted nudge bar with road vision light, will be able to set up tent in the dark now.
Hm, my post has vanished :huh
I have been searching the web a little and think they might be Lester wheels ?
Pics are not working for me take this easy to download video instead
I am SO looking forward to getting mine built
are you building gsx 1400 outfit
I sure am
At the IMS in NYC last weekend...
...'46 Cushman currently on the local CL...
do we know each other?
Now that I worked out the pic uploading thing. with some help thanks guys.
here are some build pics
That looks cool! Custom sidecars that the young people can relate to, can only help our sidecar family grow
this is one way to spend a sunday afternoon
Also there was some interest for pics from the back wheel (6x15) and front fork - enjoy
The front fork is a Sauer - house brand of Müller-Gespanne
The backwheel room is tightly packed and yes it is a bit towards the left - so I have a "three-lane sidecar"
Adapter plate
And now to Saunaaaaaaaaaa
Not that I know of mate, unless you've been over east and we've met at a rally somewhere. Currently riding a K1100 outfit.
Nice job
Nice! Thanks for finding that. I'll check it out myself and try to verify!

Just like every year I attended SQL PASS in Seattle earlier this month. The event was scheduled from Oct 11-14, 2011 in the convention center of the Seattle. I have been to Seattle more than 6 times so far so it is not a new city for me anymore. The city has always impressed me with its vibrant life and pleasant weather. Just like every other time, I had excellent experience once again in the city. Though I just arrived on the day of the event and left right after the event was over – I hardly visited Seattle – still some good experience to share. Here are few quick photographs from my quick trip of Seattle city.
Well, this is a short summary of my extremely quick city tour of Seattle.

7 May 2014 - Security Council - Non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction / Commemorating the Tenth Anniversary of Resolution 1540 - Statement by Mr. Gérard Araud, Permanent Representative of France to the United nations
(UN translation)
The adoption of resolution 1540 (2004), 10 years ago, on 28 April 2004, was a historic breakthrough in the fight against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems. I wish to thank the Republic of Korea for having organized this high-level debate on the issue, as well as for submitting presidential statement S/PRST/2014/7, which we have just adopted.
Resolution 1540 (2004) was a historic step for several reasons. For the first time, the Council involved itself in the issue of the risk posed by biological, chemical, nuclear and radiological weapons falling into the hands of terrorist groups or other non-State actors, thus constituting a threat to peace and security. Moreover, by framing the resolution under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Naions, the Council decided to play its role as guarantor of international security and stability by demanding, in an unprecedented way, that Member States take concrete measures to prevent thе risk that weapons of mass destruction could fall into the wrong hands. Finally, by setting up the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), the Council gave itself the means to ensure ongoing follow-up to the resolution and to support cooperation among States to combat weapons mass destruction.
Ten years after its adoption, we can see undeniable progress in the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). Today, a majority of the countries of the world have adopted measures to enshrine the provisions of the resolution in their national laws. In that regard, I welcome the work of the South Korean chairmanship of the 1540 Committee and its experts aimed at encouraging the few countries that have not yet done so to submit their reports to the Committee on the implementation of the resolution in their national legislation.
Moreover, the main international, regional and subregional organizaions now have adopted strategies to implement and promote the measures set out in the resolution. Therefore, since 2004, the European Union has promoted the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). In July 2013, the Foreign Affairs Council of the Union adopted a new decision specifically addressing the resolution, allocating more than €1.5 million to supporting regional efforts to implement it.
France is also taking on its responsibilities. In the 1540 Committee, we coordinate the working group on assistance, which is an essential component of the work of the Committee. In that context, France, along with its partners, is continuing efforts towards the holding of a conference in Paris on this subject, as we said we would. In addition, in all forums in which we participate, we advocate for the fight against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and for strengthening measures under resolution 1540 (2004), including strict implementation.
Despite the undeniable success of the past 10 years, much remains to be done. In order to address the issue of emerging technologies possibly being exploited by terrorists, all Member States should further strengthen export controls, prevent and suppress the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and secure sensitive goods and materials. In recognizing those challenges, at the Nuclear Security Summit held at The Hague at the end of March, France committed to launching an initiative aimed at strengthening the security of radioactive sources, including highly radioactive sources. Indeed, while fortunately infrequent, but nonetheless disturbing, cases of theft illustrate the need for better conceptualizing the security of such radioactive sources in order to avoid the fatal consequences of their possible use by groups or individuals. That is a matter of ensuring that such sources are not diverted for criminal purposes and that they continue to be used for purposes in which they render very important services — in industry, agriculture, medical and health areas, university settings and for scientific research. France's efforts include working to strengthen the international rules pertaining to minimizing the use of highly radioactive sources and establishing a group of exporters of radioactive sources to strengthen international cooperation to prevent loss of Government control over such materials.
The proliferation activites of North Korea and its nuclear and ballistics tests, which we strongly condemn, illustrate the need to ensure the full implementaiton of resolution 1540 (2004). In the event of new provocations, North Korea would expose itself to new Security Council sanctions. In that context, I would add that the Republic of Korea and our friends in the region can count on France's solidarity.
Lastly, I would like to commend the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Korea for successfully energizing the work of the 1540 Committee since 2013, so as to guarantee the optimal implementation of the resolution throughout the world.
Learn more on the Fight against terrorism.


text: So I'm still on my first watch through of VOY. After completing Dark Frontier I feel this is where the Borg went bad in Star Trek. From the introduction of the Mary Sue ship Voyager destroying a Borg ship with a single photon torpedo. To the Mary Sue and totally inappropriate Hansen family and their quest to study the Borg. How inept are the Borg to let a single ship stalk them for 3 years and even neglect the transporter singles of drones being beamed off and back, and Papa Hasen's on recon on to the cube. OH WAIT THEY'RE GENIUSES. That explains everything, and all their ingenuity. The stupid frakking Queen, and her duality for 7 of 9's soul against Janeway. To Tuvok being able to disable the shields for a Borg cube capable of destroying the entire cube. There are more things I dislike about this episode but what do guys think? At times it feels more like an episode of NuDoctor Who. Where the 11th Doctor can just talk the Daleks in to submission despite the Dalek's reputation as no BS killers. The Queen is at a Unimatrix with millions of Borgs, and yet she is overcome by Janeway talking to her when she could just order her drones to kill/assimilate Janeway.

Florida Voter Panel Study, 1999 (ICPSR 3435)
Principal Investigator(s): Kane, James G., University of Florida, Department of Political Science
The primary purposes of this 1999 panel survey were to gauge ambivalence about abortion rights and to assess general knowledge and feelings about a variety of political issues. Data was gathered via a two-wave telephone panel survey of registered voters in the state of Florida. Respondents were asked a wide variety of political questions including feeling thermometer ratings for several politicians and political groups such as President Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Florida Governor Jeb Bush, the Republican Party, and the Pro-Life Movement. They were asked to rate job performance for President Clinton, Governor Bush, and the Congress among others. Respondents were asked how they would vote in a presidential election between Texas Governor George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore and in a general election between Democrats and Republicans if one were held that day. In addition, the survey included a series of questions designed to measure general political knowledge, including how much of a majority is required for the United States Senate and House of Representatives to override a presidential veto and whose responsibility it is to determine whether or not a law is constitutional. Respondents were also asked how much they followed government and public affairs in the news. The remaining questions concerned the abortion issue. Respondents were first asked to rate how positively they felt about a series of abortion policy statements and were instructed to discard any negative feelings. Later in the interview, respondents were read the same series of abortion policy statements and were then asked to rate how negatively they felt about the statements, while attempting to discard any positive feelings. The statements included the assertions that a woman should be able to obtain a legal abortion if she becomes pregnant as a result of rape and that a woman should be able to obtain a legal abortion if she wants one for any reason. Additional questions addressed premarital sex, traditional family values, interpretation of the Bible, and women's equality. Background information on respondents includes level of education, information on religious beliefs and practices, ethnicity, marital and familial status, age, and sex.

Amazing to me. We are complaining about spending money on the Berlin Wall sections. Look at the request for expenditures for these shacks.
We should adopt the State of Maryland program for historic building in putting it up to bid for qualified private people to team up and pay for the restoration. This is just nuts. No one will visit these. Like it or not, this truly is a boondoggle.
Please vote no project, its time for the wrecking ball.

What makes you think nobody will visit them?
I do not necessarily agree that the City should spend a ton of money to save restore them; however I think you are too quick to judge. Historic homes are extremely powerful to have in the City. Young kids can learn a great deal from not only reading about but actually seeing first hand how our early workers in Mtn View lived.

Money spent. We have other priorities. Are we now establishing a bar that is at $150,000? The strategic plan has not occurred. Where is all those points in the plan that this makes sense. It's only I want to do this. It is not in a plan that says we should do this.
I do not believe in unsound judgement. I believe in strategic planning so we don't run out of money or resources, so I want to see that plan before accepting. The government is at the pleasure of the people not the other way around. That being said all voices have to be heard and mine is a CFO strategic planning consultant that says no plan no project. Bad plan no project. Good plan good project. There is no other way. To date I see nothing, just spending money.

Council did a very good job last night with understanding the risks, staking claim to the valuable Immigrant House and letting the termite infested Peirce House go. Storage with minimal costs does not create a risky sunk cost. Putting the responsibility in the hands of the public and not incurring vast unknown percentages tax payer money into a project with unknown issues is the right decision.
The State of Delaware has a fantastic program where individuals bid on taking the responsibility of historic properties and meet all interior and exterior historic requirements. The private individuals pay for the restoration and in return get a life estate to live there. Now these are huge buildings of course, but the Rengstorff House is a missed opportunity. There is no property taxes to pay and the only requirement the state has is that the life estate's members maintain the home and act as docents twice a year showing the homes to the public. The land is park land and is maintained by the state parks commissions. The homes are updated and include alarm system, HVAC systems to mitigate humid conditions, new electrical plumbing, and fire remediation with fire sprinklers. Its not easy to do, but the State of Maryland is having great levels of success running their program. The people running it love it, they create tenants in common agreement sand run the homes like a timeshare where each member has an obligation to keep the property up. They switch years to be docents.
I did not want to be the only stinky thought person against spending money here so I sat still. I agree with Councilmember Bryant with the vision and mission statement of a property with a community garden. She is right that would be splendid. Nice work Councilmember Bryant.
I do not hold any faith in such a splendid placement of the Berlin Wall.

The house in the picture, when compared to the park bench, is about 50% of the size it should be. Unless, of course, the city has an incredible shrinking machine... .
But WOW! Close to a million dollars to restore a useless shack.

I hear that house rents for $1,750 a month. Utilities not included.
a resident of Willowgate

Man did I embarrass myself. What in the heck was I thinking. We have to save these homes, two historic homes and counting, it is just pathetic.
Have to get into contract with Roger, I don't think he is ready, willing, and able. Have the donations started, need to create that foundation.
So much to do, so little time.

Livingston announces write-in campaign
Livingston, who served for 7 terms in the state legislature until 2008, when she lost a close bid for re-election to Jeff Wilson, a Democrat. "I had been in office for 14 years and lost my last election," she said. "A lot of people have been asking me to run again. There's a huge imbalance of party in Montpelier. The state is being run by one party."
After some thought, Livingston said it was Walt Freed, her political mentor and former Speaker of the Vermont House of Representatives, who convinced her to run. She said her 14 years in the House would be an advantage.
Anita Sheldon, Manchester town clerk, said a write-in candidate needs to receive at least 25 votes, as well as the majority of votes or the second highest in the primary to be considered for the general election. Livingston would be in the ballot in November if she receives at least 25 votes during Tuesday's primary election.
When in office previously, Livingston said she was very involved in educational finance.
ÒI fought against Act 60 and 68 [when previously in office] and didn't believe it would solve the education financing problems we had," she said. "Instead, we created a new imbalance of funding."
While Vermont has great teachers, schools and very involved parents, Livingston said that the returns from the amount of per pupil spending is not what it should be, noting that this past March during Town Meeting voting, 35 districts saw their school budgets defeated.
"This has huge ramifications," she said. "This is the inevitable downside of Act 60 and 68. People simply cannot afford student spending anymore and are pushing back."
As for Governor Peter Shumlin's health care plan, Livingston said she does not know his intent for the plan. She is not in favor of the plan, because it would add to the tax burden of the average Vermonter, she said.
If reelected, Livingston said she would like to be involved in the House Commerce Committee again. She has served there in pervious terms. "Building a tax base in this state is very important, it is the only way to remove the tax burden from Vermont voters," she said. "My biggest concerns are fiscal."
Patti Komline, a Republican who represents Danby, Dorset, Landgrove, Mt. Tabor and Peru in the state legislature, said she is pleased Livingston chose to run.
"Given the healthcare and education funding challenges facing the states, we need smart people with experience serving in Montpelier," she said in an email. "Judy Livingston will be able to hit the ground running."
There is one other Republican, Tony duPont, running this election cycle for representative. Newcomer Steve Berry and incumbent Cynthia Browning, both Democrats, fill out the ballot. In the primary all three, duPont, Berry and Browning, will make it through the general election. If Livingston secures all 25 votes, she will be on the general election ballot as well.
In the general election, the two candidates with the most votes will represent Arlington, Manchester, most of Sunderland and Sandgate in Montpelier.

Florida Woman Seeking 'Closure' Sets Fire to Ex-Boyfriend's House
Authorities in Florida arrested a 26-year-old woman on arson charges after she reportedly set fire to her ex-boyfriend's front door while searching for closure.
According to the complaint affidavit, Kaelyn Marie Partenza, 26, arrived at the Deerfield Beach apartment last Wednesday to confront her ex, Brian Morris.
Partenza told police she, Morris, and Morris's new girlfriend had been living in the apartment "as a family" until recently.
She also stated that her intention was "to get closure on her relationship with Morris."
However, things escalated quickly after Morris greeted Partenza at the door with a shotgun.
A physical altercation ensued and Partenza fled, allegedly fearing for her life. Morris reportedly threw Partenza's own boots at her, striking and bruising her arm.
Soon after, Partenza, who left some personal belonging on the front porch, returned to the apartment.
Morris said he spotted Partenza peeking through a slit in the door, and tried to cover up the space with a towel.
Police say that's when Partenza grabbed a container of lighter fluid from a nearby grill, and set fire to the door with a lit cigarette.
It was Morris's current girlfriend who eventually put out the flames.
Partenza was subsequently arrested and booked on two counts of arson first-degree dwelling with people present.
Morris was also arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a firearm/domestic violence and battery domestic violence.

|My friends and I used to climb all over Pinos when we were in high school. Mostly we would bail after lunch during the winters from 1994 - 1997 and set up little kickers and table-tops back in the woods for our own private snowboard park. I can't be certain, but I seem to recall that we once built a small hit at the bottom of a small knoll that constitutes the summit. I love this mountains and the memories it brings back.

Because in this case, Joe Random is at an anti-war rally saying that war is not the solution to this problem.
If someone is going to go out and say "I disagree with this position" then I don't think it's too unreasonable to ask for their thoughts on the alternative.
I'd have a lot more respect for the protestors if, instead of "BUCK FUSH" and "BUSH = NUCLEAR TERRORIST", their placards read "Disarm Saddam by doing [X]".
The worst guy is the one who says "It's the government's job to come up with the answer." They did come up with an answer, and you don't like it, so what else do you suggest, bonehead?
If someone is going to go out and say "I disagree with this position" then I don't think it's too unreasonable to ask for their thoughts on the alternative.
Woah, this has a big assumption built-in, which is that their is a problem to be solved. I'm really not sure that is the case, since I have yet to see any proof that Iraq is actually a real threat to the US. It might be a threat to its neighbors, but I'm not so sure about that either, since at this point Hussein knows that any aggression on his
Understood, and the protestors' rhetoric should have addressed this. Where are the placards that say, for example "Saddam is no threat to the US"? I sure haven't seen any. I saw a lot of name-calling Bush-bashing, though.
I think a lot of the protesters just don't like Bush, the government, the Establishment, whatever, and get off on bitching about it.
Demonstrations are not really about communicating an in-depth point, they're about showing that X number of people support or oppose some particular thing.
Showing that a mob of people support something. I could just read the Neilsen summaries or Billboard charts and follow that if the unwashed masse
Again, if you want to learn more about why people oppose the war, you need to do some reading, and I'd be happy to recommend some good sources.
But I'm not interested in learning more about why people oppose the war. I have my own theories: nihilism, envy of the United States, ignorance, desire for rebellion, desire for coolness.
What I'm interested in is why I should oppose the war. By extension, why the United States should oppose the war. And that calls not for generalities of why the United S
