Eugene Warrington, a lifetime resident of Mamaroneck and the owner of the iconic Westchester staple Walter's Hot Dogs in town, died on Saturday, Aug. 26 at the age of 95, surrounded by his loved ones.
He was born March 13, 1922, to Walter and Rose (nee Sansone) Warrington. He attended Holy Trinity School and graduated from Mamaroneck High School, where he excelled in baseball, football and wrestling.
He was a Mamaroneck High School Hall-of-Famer and Vice President of his senior class.
Gene proudly served his country in WWII on US Navy PT boat 568, the Yuri Kaze, stationed in the South Pacific.
After the war, Gene joined his parents who had established Walter's Hot Dogs in 1919, and eventually took over the business in the 1950s.
Because of his hard work, insistence on quality products, and focus on customer service, Walter's has become a national landmark and vibrant part of the Westchester business community with a customer base which spans generations.
Gene was extremely active in the Mamaroneck community. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and served as a District Leader for the Republican Party for 20 years. He was a past president of the Old Timers' Athletic Association and belonged to the American Legion for 71 years.
In 1945, he joined the BPOE Lodge 1457 (one of whose founders was his father, Walter) where he served both the local lodge and national organization in leadership roles, even now as trustee.
Gene was honored in 2015 by the Mamaroneck Historical Society for his many years of service, and in October 2016, received a 70-year service award from Hook and Ladder Co. #1.
Gene was a gentle man: kind and loving, with a charming smile and quick wit. He found joy in his family, especially his grandchildren, who lovingly referred to him as "Pop." He rarely missed one of their ball games, recitals, or plays, and family vacations with "Pop" are still fondly remembered.
His example, in business and life, taught them a strong work ethic, moral sense, and spirit of service.
He also had an exceptional voice and would always croon a love song to his wife, Gloria, at family celebrations.
Others who knew him as "Uncle Gene," are quick to share stories of the generosity and kindness of "the best boss anyone could have."
He was a true Gentleman who exemplified "the Greatest Generation." Gene was the beloved husband of Gloria (nee DiLorenzo) with whom he would have celebrated their 70th anniversary this November.
He is survived by his daughters, Christine Warrington and Jeanne Fellows (Peter); loving grandchildren, Christine Sand (Kelly), Elisabeth DiDato, Gene-Christian Baca, Sabrina Peduto (Frank), Katharine Woodward, and Natalie Fellows; and a great granddaughter, Ashley Grace Peduto.
To honor Gene's life and celebrate a life well-lived, family and friends may call on Tuesday, Aug. 29 and Wednesday, Aug. 30 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Coxe and Graziano Funeral Home, 767 East Boston Post Rd., Mamaroneck.
Funeral Mass will be on Thursday, Aug. 31 at 11 a.m. at Sts. John & Paul R.C. Church followed by entombment at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery.

Welsh bass baritone Bryn Terfel will take part in the 10th day of the Olympic Torch relay
Bryn, who will appear later this season in Keith Warner's production of The Ring Cycle, is the final Torchbearer of the day. He will carry the Flame onto the stage in the Faenol Estate in Bangor, opening an evening of celebrations.
Over the day, the Torch will travel 108 miles through 15 communities. It will be carried by a relay of 84 Torchbearers, including champion mountain runner Malcolm Jones and rower Elin Davies.
Bryn commented on Twitter:
[The] vision of the London Olympics is to combine three bodies of work: sport, education and culture. That's why I said yes to carrying the torch.
The Torch Relay, in which the Olympic Flame travels around the host country, is a symbolic ritual that has been carried out at every modern Olympic Games since its reintroduction in 1928. It is lit in Olympia, Greece before being transported to the location of the games.
In total, the Olympic Flame will travel through more than 1,000 cities and villages around the UK, carried by over 8,000 torchbearers. It will arrive at the Olympic Stadium on 27 July to start the Opening Ceremony.
This summer the Royal Opera House is the home of the Olympic Museum, an experience showcasing artefacts, film and audio related to the sporting event. The Royal Ballet and Royal Opera are also presenting works as part of the London 2012 Festival.

Current wisdom suggests that the government services industry is safer and more predictable than the commercial space.
However, the word around Washington is that the transition to a new presidential administration means few new opportunities in the near future and a slower government business pace.
Slowing revenue can lead to trimming of business development teams and marketing budgets. But that kneejerk reaction is short-sighted if it leaves your organization poorly positioned to take advantage of opportunities when conditions change.
That doesn't mean a business development team should consider every opportunity or respond to every request for proposals that remotely fits its organization in the interim.
That's a waste of time and budget resources.
A better strategy would be to focus on how to shape new business opportunities now for future revenue growth. A development team should have professional business partners who are well-known, trusted and respected in the clients' domain rather than companies with a peddler mentality.
Strategically, shaping opportunities and becoming the contractor of choice do not happen overnight and are in no way a short-term perspective.
Three requirements are needed to make them work. First, build a good business development team. Then create a process that helps the client solve its problems. And finally, shape opportunities by aligning your organization with the customer's organization.
One experienced government client said he has learned to pick his people first, then the opportunities.
Another shared his steps for a successful business development process:
However, it also is crucial to align your organization's purpose of assisting the client with its goals, while also fulfilling your stakeholder and leadership objectives of revenue growth.
Satisfying both is no easy task. It requires choosing only those opportunities that fit your firm's resources and deciding if your organization is the best choice for aligning those resources to reach company and customer goals.
In the long term, the government offers a wealth of opportunities. For example, the Homeland Security Department alone has 26 agencies, including Customs and Border Protection, the Coast Guard, and the Transportation Security Administration, each with distinct cultures and different decision-makers representing countless opportunities for doing business. The challenge is to pick the one opportunity that best fits your firm's resources.
On selecting an opportunity, you become your potential customer's advocate within your organization. The most difficult undertaking for any advocate is keeping the process aligned internally and managing your organization's thinking so that it stays aligned with the client's goals. As the client's advocate, you must compel your executives, stakeholders and team to see the world from the customer's perspective.
It essentially takes a village of aligned and committed individuals within a company to build this winning combination and establish the groundwork for strategic success.
It's great if you help the customer solve its problems and achieve its goals.
But it's golden if you can satisfy your company's growth objectives at the same time.

text: So that the Haskell 2011 cycle can get underway, we are soliciting nominations for new committee members. Since this is the first time we've done this, the procedure is still somewhat unsettled and things may yet change, but the current guidelines are written down here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/Committee In particular, on the makeup of the commitee: The committee should represent each class of stakeholders with roughly equal weight. These classes are * Implementers (compiler/tool writers) * Commercial users * Non-commercial users (e.g. open source) * Academic users (using Haskell in research) * Teachers * Authors In addition, members of the committee should be long-standing users with a deep knowledge of Haskell, and preferably with experience of language design. The committee should contain at least some members with a comprehensive knowledge of the dark corners of the Haskell language design, who can offer perspective and rationale for existing choices and comment on the ramifications of making different choices. To nominate someone (which may be yourself), send a message to haskell-prime at haskell.org. Please give reasons for your nomination. The current committee will appoint new commitee members and editors starting in the new year, so the deadline for nominations is 31 December 2009. During discussion amongst the current commitee, we realised that the choice of committee should be informed not just by the criteria above, but also by the particular proposals that are expected to be under consideration during this cycle. With that in mind, we plan that following the nominations the current committee will choose a "core commitee" of up to 10 members, and further members may be appointed during the year based on expertise needed to consider particular proposals. Accordingly, now would be a good time to start discussing which proposals should be considered in the Haskell 2011 timeframe, as that may affect the choice of commitee members. More details on the current Haskell Prime process are here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/Process Cheers, Simon

Monthly markets review - May 2016
A look back at markets in May 2016 when stronger US macroeconomic data fuelled expectations of a summer rate hike from the Federal Reserve.
- Equities and most bond markets gained in May as investors continued to speculate about the timing of the next US interest rate rise. Oil prices gained with Brent rising to $50 per barrel during the month.
- US equities advanced against a backdrop of improving macroeconomic data. This included an acceleration in inflation which helped fuel expectations of a summer rate rise, in turn supporting a dollar rally.
- Eurozone equities posted positive returns, helped by a weaker euro. Receding Brexit worries supported gains for UK equities.
- Japanese equities gained ground and the yen weakened. The debate over the next planned rise in the consumption tax continued, although economic data was largely positive.
- Emerging markets posted negative returns. Brazil and Turkey were key laggards, while China outperformed despite some disappointing macroeconomic data and concerns about capital outflows.
- Treasuries were the only major sovereign bonds to see rising yields in May. Investment grade credit broadly underperformed government bonds.

Clutch Matt Prater earns another NFC award for Detroit Lions
Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell highly appreciated Clutch Matt Prater's performance in this season. He said Clutch Matt Prater is quite an unusual guy, just in terms of his ability to come out and pressure situations and kick the ball some distance and kick accurately. He also expressed Prater is one of those guys that's capable of making a difference in every single ballgame and he's so proud of Prater and glad to have him. Matt Prater, Detroit Lions kicker who is NFC special teams player of the week for the second time this season after he made three field goals, including the game winner, against the Minnesota Vikings on Thanksgiving. In Detroit Lions' first win over the Vikings this season, Prater tied the game with a 58-yarder at the end of regulation. He was also named special teams player of the week because of that game. Matt Prater has made four winning kicks in the final two minutes this season. The coach Caldwell said that Prater is the third Lion to win a player-of-the-week award multiple times in the same season, joining Barry Sanders and Jason Hanson.

Shaun White describes faults in Sochi halfpipe
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia – Shaun White returned to the Olympic halfpipe in the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park on Sunday night for a second training session.
He found some improvements to the pipe, but was among many riders with concerns about the conditions of the course where the men's competition will be held on Tuesday. White won the Olympic halfpipe gold in 2006 and 2010.
"Today was, uh, not the best," White said, trying to be polite, as he stopped for a brief interview with several reporters after the session.
SLOPESTYLE:Jamie Anderson wins women's gold
White spent about an hour riding the halfpipe on Saturday and another hour Sunday evening. Riders will return for a final training session on Monday morning.
"The first day, the walls were a little over-[vertical], so everybody was doing airs, and then landing like pretty flat," White said. "Today, they made the walls better so everybody lands [correctly], but in the flat bottom, where they cut it, it's like a bump, so everyone is riding along and then hits the bump, and that's really not very good."
MORE:White withdraws from slopestyle in Sochi
The course will be re-cut overnight before the final practice session, and White gave an OK sign with his hand to indicate he believes the course will be in better shape next time he rides it.
"I'm sure it will be. I have faith," White said before leaving the area.
Numerous riders fell throughout the training session Sunday that lasted more than two hours, but there did not appear to be any significant issues.
WATCH:Snowboarder's violent crash splits her helmet
American Kelly Clark was among the riders who came to Sochi last year for a test event, and even if the current halfpipe isn't perfect, she said it is markedly improved.
"It was very challenging," Clark said, purposefully avoiding using the word "bad." "So for me, I know I can't control what the pipe conditions are. It has the potential to be variable, and I'm going to make the most of this opportunity."

|Kasuri: UPA was close to Indo-Pak 'framework' on Kashmir
JPNN/ New Delhi/July 27, 2015/ India and Pakistan were about to reach a "framework" on Kashmir during UPA rule and both sides even had decided not to proclaim "victory" post the announcement, former Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri said Monday. "We were about to reach a solution on Kashmir, a framework. Solution could only be arrived at by cabinets and Parliament. We could only provide a framework. But we were trying to deliver something. I will give the details in my book to be published later this year," Kasuri said. Speaking during a discussion on 'Improving Indo-Pak relations' , Kasuri said it was the outcome
of three years of "hardwork" by the then Pakistani President Pervez Musharaf and India's then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh but the framework did not materialise due to subsequent internal turmoil in Pakistan in 2007. "One of the secrets of our success with Dr Manmohan Singh was that there was an unwritten agreement between the two sides that when the framework on Kashmir is announced, neither side will proclaim victory," he said. Kasuri, who was the Foreign Minister during the Presidency of Pervez Musharraf, said the Ufa (Russia) meeting between Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Nawaz Sharif and the subsequent joint-statement were not "properly managed". Emphasising on the need for talks, he said the positive side of Ufa was that the two countries met. "The two foreign offices would have done better if they were allowed to do what they are supposed to do," he said. Agency

The controversy around Nestle's Maggi noodles has caused panic throughout the nation and it doesn't look like it will die down any time soon.
After the initial test results by Uttar Pradesh Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed harmful levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in Maggi, various states across India and even Bangladesh conducted tests on Maggi to find out whether the food product is safe or not.
The controversy around Maggi has led to tests being conducted across the country.
The entire controversy began when the UP FDA last month asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles "which were manufactured in February 2014" after it found high levels of added MSG, a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.

He may have the heart of a champion, but Tiger has the mouth of a trucker.
The world's former number one golfer, who's play has been sloppy over the past year as he struggles to come back from his epic sex scandals, let loose a torrent of foul language this weekend at the British Open.
Missing a putt for par on the 13th hole in his third round, Tiger roars, "Why the f-ck did you do that?" at himself. The cameras and microphones caught the outburst.
The broadcast commentators, acknowledging the outburst, said, "He is running hot."

Mission Statement:
Directed by Dr. Avrum Spira, the Bioinformatics and Systems Biology program at the Boston University Pulmonary Center consists of groups of Pulmonologists and Bioinformaticians involved in translational research into lung biology and disease. The long terms goals of this program are to apply and stimulate the development of post-genomic technologies and computational tools for translational research into human disease and to train physician-scientists and graduate students who can apply these tools in a clinical setting.
With the complete sequence of the human and other genomes recently elucidated, we have witnessed an explosion of information and high-throughput tools that are profoundly altering biomedical research and the culture of science. The reference genomes combined with advances in the biotechnology sector have produced an exponential growth in the amount and types of data available regarding biological systems. These developments are altering the paradigm of biological research, from traditional studies of single genes or pathways to large scale studies that combine data-mining of high-throughout datasets (i.e. cDNA microarray experiments) for hypothesis generation with experimental work for validation. The reference human genome has also allowed us to rapidly characterize polymorphisms across the human population, and has also enabled molecular fingerprinting technologies that can identify the precursors and consequences of normal and pathological changes in gene and protein expression.

The Gold Report: Chris, you have described the junior mining industry as being "in disarray." Do you have any ideas for investors who might want to participate in the space, but may be a bit confused or discouraged?
Chris Wilson: Well, upfront I would say do not lose heart, but do not go throwing your money at just any junior at the moment.
We have to find 80 million ounces (Moz) of gold a year just to replace what is being mined. That is equivalent to the whole of the production from the Carlin Trend. Clearly, any company with a significant discovery will be extremely valuable. That value will grow exponentially moving forward because new discoveries are getting harder to find. The value most likely will be unlocked by the major companies buying the juniors out.
It is a big leap for a junior trying to be a miner. When the major companies are mining successfully, but not exploring successfully, acquisitions have to become part of the future. The trick will be finding juniors that have a commodity and a deposit style that are attractive to the majors.
"When the major companies are mining successfully, but not exploring successfully, acquisitions have to become part of the future."
There are probably 3,000 junior explorers on the Toronto, Australian and London stock exchanges. So, you have to do your homework. First, you discount the 20% that have managements with a reputation for pumping and dumping or that lack technical prowess. Next, you eliminate companies working in countries you do not like for reasons of geopolitical risk.
With a little bit of research you can see where mines are being built successfully and where potentially good mines are not being built. For example, take Gabriel Resources Ltd.'s (GBU:TSX) Rosia Montana mine in Romania. This mine has been in existence since Roman times. It is a 10 Moz deposit that would make a difference to the region. It would remediate the legacy of 2,000 years of mining history. But, it has been shut down by popular vote and sentiment on the Internet.
Once you discard management and geopolitical risk, you have 1,500 or 1,000 names left. Next, you have to look at deposit style. Irrespective of grade, major companies do not buy small vein deposits with often complex and discontinuous ore shoots. Such deposits will always remain the remit of Junior explorers who may struggle to stack together resources or commercialize production. Neither do major companies want small copper mines with difficult metallurgy. It may take $4 billion to put a big copper porphyry into production. As an investor, you have to target companies with the potential of finding a deposit in the commodity of choice, probably copper, silver or gold, that has the chance to get the attention of the majors.
Of course, you want to look at the number of shares a company has out there and how much cash it has in the bank. If a company is going to have to raise money in the near term, that will be dilutive and something you want to steer away from.
You can go on to the System of Electronic Disclosure by Insiders (SEDI) to see if management has been selling their shares and have a look at the stock curve. If it is a typical up and down parabolic curve, it probably does that for a reason. Juniors with good assets tend not to have that parabolic curve up and down. They may have come off 20% or even 50%, but they are holding steady. What percentage of the shares is held with management? Put that into the equation.
By now, the list of 3,000 companies is probably down to about 100, and that is a manageable number of companies to do your due diligence on.
The last thing I would say is go and talk to a geologist. Not necessarily the company geologist, who will sell you any story the company wants. If you are going to invest in this commodity and you do not understand geology, you need to find a geologist that can help you.
TGR: Is that what Exploration Alliance is? Are you essentially geologists for hire?
CW: Exploration Alliance is a practical, hands-on niche consultancy started by a group of us who had worked as geologists at Ivanhoe Mines and wanted a change, a bit of fresh air. We tailor our services to meet the needs of junior and midtier explorers. We are the kind of consultants who can sit on boards and present to the market. We know what it takes to raise money and spend it wisely. We are very discerning when it comes to project selection and ensuring that each project achieves a definable benchmark before progressing to the next stage. Exploration is a game of statistics and most projects never make it.
Over the last four or five years we have grown to a core group of 10 people. We could make it bigger, but the prerequisite to being an Exploration Alliance consultant geologist is practical, hands-on industry experience. The 10 of us have worked in over 90 countries.
Most of our work has been for private groups. For example, a large, well-funded Kazakh group and a Middle Eastern trust with considerable billions in firepower, as well as some European funds. When you consult for private money, the clients just want to know if they should invest. They want the hard facts, without any lipstick on them. That suits the Exploration Alliance mandate.
What has become apparent over the last two years is that the average individual commodities investor needs geology simplified. So, we are starting to morph the consultancy into an entity that interfaces more with public companies. Before we take on a job, we do our own internal review. We try to hedge our bets by taking jobs in companies that have projects of merit. Then we try to write the reports in a way that the people the report is intended for can actually understand it.
We want to leverage our years of experience, the input and knowledge from hundreds of geologists we have worked with and our familiarity with many types of deposits. If we can simplify that and get it right, that will be valuable for the investors and for companies with good projects. We think that is where our niche will be.
TGR: Do you specialize in looking for precious metals assets or all types of minerals?
CW: We specialize in gold, silver and base metalscopper, lead, zinc, etc.as well as bulk commodities such as iron ore. We have coal experience but it is limited.
"There is a lot of positive sentiment for gold."
There is a lot of positive sentiment for gold. You can transport gold in a helicopterfly it out of a propertywithout the massive capital expense and infrastructure you would have with a big copper porphyry project.
TGR: You are basically banking on the idea that demand for precious metals will continue to increase. Why are you so convinced that gold will increase in value?
CW: Gold is a finite resource. You've got to find 80 Moz a year to be ahead of current annual production. So, from a supply and demand perspective, each year we're spending more in exploration yet finding less. All things considered, that means that good discoveries will be increasingly valuable.
In addition, politics today works in gold's favor. Recent elections prove that people do not want to vote for austerity. People vote for an easier life. In some respects, this forces governments, if they want to be reelected, to print money to keep things humming along pretty much as they have been. That is going to lead to inflation and to paper money being devalued.
TGR: You have years of experience traveling the world, exploring for gold deposits. Some people believe all of the big deposits have been found. Do you agree?
CW: Not all, but a large number of the big gold deposits have been found. Professors Roger Taylor and Peter Pollard, consulting geologists and good friends, are fond of saying that big deposits generally stick out of the ground. That is because big deposits require very large fluid circulation cells capable of carrying the metal endowment, and these hot fluids generally alter the rocks around the deposit, resulting in large and obvious alteration systems. Moreover, large deposits are generally associated with major structures and may present large geophysical targets.
TGR: Based on your years with your boots on the ground, where do you think the remaining big discoveries might happen?
CW: You need both a discovery and a good environment to develop a project. There are countries where you clearly should not invest even if they have good geological potential. China, for instance, has excellent potential, but I have yet to see a mining company succeed. Many people are fans of the former Soviet Union republics. They are very difficult places to get ahead. There are a lot of insider deals and corruption.
Then you go to the other end of the spectrum to great mining jurisdictions where investments are safe: Canada, Australia, Peru and Chile to name a few. But, those countries have been through several cycles of exploration over the last 100 years, which means it is getting harder to find deposits there.
So, where do you go for new discoveries and what would those new discoveries be like? This is a personal choice, but I favor less explored countries with excellent geological potential that have a manageable degree of political risk. Colombia is an obvious choice, parts of northeastern South America fit the bill, as do countries in West Africa that are emerging from conflict.
"I favor less explored countries with excellent geological potential that have a manageable degree of political risk."
West Africa has some of the greatest mines on earth. For example, Obuasi has produced 30 Moz and probably has about 35 Moz left. To date there has been over 200 Moz of gold discovered in approximately 30 mines and the potential remains excellent.
West Africa was joined to northeastern South America for much of its history and shares the same geology. In comparison to West Africa, northeastern South America is significantly under-explored, so all things considered, countries such as Brazil, Suriname and Guyana have excellent potential. Venezuela also has excellent potential but the politics are problematic.
There also is potential in past-producing mines. There have been some very good discoveries recently. Azimuth Resources Ltd. (AZH:ASX; AZH:TSX) is exploring around the past-producing Omai mine of 4.5 Moz in Guyana. A few weeks ago, the company announced a resource of 1.22 Moz.
TGR: So, you are talking about a contiguous greenstone belt that existed millions of years ago that now extends from West Africa across the Atlantic and into South America.
CW: Correct, although it was actually formed 2.1 billion years ago. My point is that greenstone-hosted gold mineralization is well understood and has been the focus of successful exploration in West Africa, Canada and Australia.
Greenstone belts of the Amazon have not been explored to the same extent.
As long as you are prepared for the geopolitical risk of certain countries, you will probably get a lot of bang for your buck. There will be more world-class discoveries there than in some of the countries that have had more exploration.
TGR: What is Exploration Alliance doing to reach out directly to investors with your expansive knowledge base?
CW: A lot of people who invest in the junior exploration space, the midtier and to a degree in major producers have a fundamentally poor understanding of geology and key concepts. Too often, when I talk to investors, they have no idea of what a strike extension is or what makes for a great intercept. They do not know what the difference is in exploration potential between a porphyry and a narrow vein system.
It is amazing that billions of dollars in speculative money is invested every year by a retail market that really does not know the basics of simple geology. That is a huge issue that needs addressing.
That will become a focus of Exploration Alliance. We will keep the consultancy going because that is what keeps our edge. But, we see an opportunity to offer something along the lines of a one- or two-day course that takes people through basic geological concepts. We want to educate investors in terms of geology, as well as risk and reward.
TGR: Chris, thank you for your time.

CENTER VALLEY, Pa. – Two Penn State Lehigh Valley students: Paolo Flauta and Matthew Mekolichick; have been chosen to present their research at the annual Pennsylvania Undergraduate Research at the Capitol (URC-PA) event to be held March 11 in Harrisburg. Their poster, Hemoglobin Expression in Ara-C Induced Leukemic K562 Cells, is one of only eight selected to represent Penn State at the event.
"Their research project involving a cell line from a patient with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia is of keen interest, not only for treatment of individuals with various types of leukemia but also for individuals with abnormalities of hemoglobin structure, like sickle-cell anemia and thalassemia," said Jacqueline McLaughlin, associate professor of biology at Penn State Lehigh Valley and co-chair of the event. McLaughlin and Melissa Coyle, Penn State Lehigh Valley research technologist, serve as research mentors to Flauta and Mekolichick.
The URC-PA poster conference is an educational event allowing the undergraduate students enrolled in Pennsylvania's colleges and universities to showcase their research talents to the Commonwealth's key decision-makers. As participants, Flauta and Mekolichick will spend the day in the Pennsylvania Capitol Building, share experiences and ideas with counterparts from other schools and enlighten state legislators on the topics that are important to our society.

Jaimie from Justkissnmakeup.com was kind enough to send me some samples of the cosmetic line she is representing and selling, called Motives Cosmetics. (Click on the link to check out the products and shop). They have color palettes, concealer, blush, cheek tints, lipstick, gel eyeliners, an eyeshadow base, empty palettes and more!
I am really impressed by the lipglosses, they are a bit sticky, not overly sticky, but it's at a consistency I like because it stays on my lips. Other lipglosses that glide on may not be sticky but they come off so fast, so I personally like it just a tad bit sticky for staying power. My favorites are "Tiger's Eye" and "Raspberry Kiss". I lost my sample of "Tiger's Eye" as it was in my big 'ol bag and must have lost it taking out things, but it's a gorgeous neutral beige gold color.
The loose-powdered eyeshadows are pretty and really similar to normal mineral eyeshadows, and they are soft and finely-milled. The "Dark Denim" eyeshadow is the perfect matte black that makes a really nice sultry smokey eye and also makes a great eyeliner when used with an eyeliner transforming liquid such as Urban Decay's Eyeliner Transforming Potion which turns eyeshadow into eyeliners.
The colors are really pigmented and the lip glosses are so yummy and true to color. And they have a nice sheen and shimmer to them. They really remind me of the MAC PRO glosses, but so much more yummier!
***Please support Jaimie and check out her Motives Cosmetics shop! Feel free to contact her directly if you have ANY questions regarding Motive Cosmetics, swatches, etc.

I really like reading reviews like this, about small companies with exciting products. It's nice to get a little glimpse of the heart and soul behind a brand.
I also like that you disclose when you get samples of stuff to review...no shame in that at all, *and* I trust your blog enough to know that you wouldn't publish a positive review if you didn't really believe it :) So keep up the great work.

Home phone service in Horse Branch, KY is available from many different providers, and to find the best service, consumers need to compare offers from several providers. When searching for a suitable service, three important considerations are reliability, pricing and features. Wirefly is the best place to compare residential phone service providers in Horse Branch, KY. A high-quality residential phone service should be affordable, but it should also be packed with many great features. Reliability is one of the most important considerations because a service that isn't reliable is almost useless. The best services come with no restrictions and deliver excellent call quality. For the best experience with a VoIP service, consumers need to have a high-speed Internet connection. View Horse Branch, KY home phone service carriers below:

Voice Over Internet Protocol transmits phone calls over high-speed Internet connections. People can use traditional analog telephones, computers or special IP phones to communicate. This service enables customers to utilize the same phone number and account at any location with Internet access. It can cut costs for someone who owns a business or two homes. However, slow or heavily shared connections may not provide enough bandwidth for VoIP. Wirefly offers a handy speed test that can automatically evaluate any connection. This phone service also fails whenever an Internet outage occurs.
Cellular and landline companies usually assign random telephone numbers to customers. There normally isn't any opportunity to customize a new number. On the other hand, people with VoIP often have the ability to select a desired area code. It doesn't have to be the standard area code for Horse Branch, KY. This advantage doesn't really matter to some customers, but it can potentially benefit people with home businesses. The selected area code will affect the amounts that some callers pay to contact a business.
Most VoIP providers include a wide range of valuable features. Examples include caller identification, blocking, three-way communication, forwarding and unlimited domestic calls. Some companies offer customer support at all hours. Sound quality usually surpasses that of a cell phone but doesn't match traditional landline service. Customers can pay surprisingly low fees for VoIP if they look for inexpensive providers. Certain companies charge monthly rates of less than $7. When comparing costs, keep in mind that this amount doesn't cover the expense of a high-speed Internet connection.
A DSL phone service shares many similarities to a traditional phone service, as it uses the standard copper phone lines. The difference is that it also includes DSL Internet access through a modem that is usually supplied by the service provider, though consumers who already own a compatible DSL model may sometimes use their own. The service is essentially a bundle that combines telephone service and Internet access from the same provider.
The price of a DSL phone service will vary depending on the specific plan chosen by the subscriber. It is possible to find prices as low as $19.95 per month with a multi-year service contract. However, those who want a very fast Internet connection with no monthly data transfer limits will have to pay more. While there are providers offering DSL home phone service without lengthy contracts, their monthly plans are a bit more expensive and they may require that new customers pay an installation fee.
Some consumers like having their phone and Internet services from the same company. Unlike older dial-up Internet services that have largely fallen into disuse in urban areas, DSL technology allows people to use the Internet and talk on the phone at the same time.
When choosing a DSL phone service provider, it's important to do some research on how reliable the various service providers are. In a city like Horse Branch, KY, the cabling infrastructure is generally well maintained, making it unlikely for users to experience any serious service quality issues or interruptions. However, a provider's network may get overloaded at times of peak usage, such as during holidays. This could cause a slowdown in Internet connection speed and even make the service unusable for a couple of minutes.
Also called landlines, traditional home phone services have been around for many years, and they consist of many underground wires and connections. To use a landline service, a customer must have a phone jack inside of their home, and they must connect a phone to the jack. For several decades, traditional landline phones ruled the industry, but over time, they've become far less popular than alternative services. Many consumers are replacing their landline connection with wireless service.
The major advantage to choosing landline services in Horse Branch, KY is the stable connection. Since they're hardwired into a physical network of wires, landlines also offer exceptional call clarity. However, consumers should also be aware of the downsides, and a huge disadvantage of a landline service is the lack of freedom. A landline service can only be used inside of the home where it's installed, and it's likely to be more expensive than wireless alternatives.
Many customers are embracing technology by shifting to wireless home phone services. It is the most common phone service in this century. Their clients choose whether to be on a postpaid or a prepaid payment plan. Wireless phone services providers offer their customers incredible features. Customers in Horse Branch, KY, get to enjoy additional features like caller ID and voicemail services with a wireless plan. Moreover, the customers get to experience the latest technologies in the phone industry such as a mobile hotspot.

Event Number 2821
Friday, December 6th, 2013
- Physics Department Colloquium
- New Frontiers of Quantum Simulations with Atoms and Ions
- Time: 3:30 pm
- Place: 2241 Chamberlin Hall (coffee at 4:30 pm)
- Speaker: Prof. Dr. Peter Zoller, Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Innsbruck, University of Innsbruck
- Abstract: Recently, the condensed matter and atomic physics communities have mutually benefited from synergies emerging from the quantum simulation of strongly correlated systems using atomic setups. In the first part of the talk we give an overview of analog and digital quantum simulation with cold atoms in optical lattices and trapped ions. In the second part we discuss possible future directions: while there is presently significant interest in artificial gauge fields mimicking magnetic fields in (neutral) atom setups to observe phenomena like fractional quantum Hall physics, we will discuss prospects of realizing simple models of dynamical gauge fields (lattice gauge theories) as a next generation of possible cold atom experiments, where the (very long term) vision is to perform quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories of QED and QCD.
