Overall Rating
They were friendly - probably more than the dealership that I originally went to, and they were fifty dollars less expensive.
I would recommend them to anybody.
I went in for a tune up and they saw my battery was all corroded over but they didn't test the battery, and the next day my car couldn't start up. I called AAA and they replaced the battery, but I was disappointed they didn't check my battery. When the guy from AAA tested it he saw it was pretty low and they obviously didn't check it. Everything else came out okay.
They were very friendly and helped me out when I really needed it. I was on a business trip out of state and the car broke down when I was leaving to Ohio from Michigan and they helped me out and got me back on my way.
They are just a really good price, really speedy service, and they always do what they say they are going to do. If needed, they provide a free loaner.
There was an issue with the oil change, and they took care of it immediately including cleaning the engine. I was very satisfied.
I'm extremely satisfied. Friendly people there. I enjoy going in there. Nice atmosphere.
It was excellent service. Their work is always the best work. It's always ready as promised, etc.
They repaired three of my cars in about a two month period. I wouldn't call them cheap but they did do a good job, and I was paying them for a good job. The only thing was in about a month I was told that the oxygen sensor and the gasket was an issue. Less than a month, and I was back repairing it again. But everything else was good. Otherwise, they did everything I asked for and did it on time, fairly close to what I asked for. My quality fleet of used cars is all fixed up.
They were very helpful and knowledgeable. They were very honest. A honest mechanic is very hard to find.
I was dissatisfied with the service, the high prices, and the towing bill. Four miles down the road, I was charged one hundred and forty dollars. The text messages I received, the specials, I was not happy about. I was very dissatisfied.
Overall they are a good shop. They are honest and fair. They are fair priced.
You can trust these guys. Its a good place.
Kind, and prompt. They gave me a rental car and helped me find a hotel. Very, very nice people.
I was very satisfied with the outcome of my vehicle. I would strongly recommend Joe. Very good service.
I'm happy with the work they did. They did it right and I will go back again.

Now that we have all seen AOTC more than once and have let the movie all sink in, I have changed my favorite scene in the movie. After I first saw the movie my favorite single scene from the movie was Yoda vs. Dooku. It was just Amazing. After seeing the movie a couple of times and the shcok of the yoda fight scene has died down I have a new favorit scene.
My new favorite scene is at the very end of the movie when the Clone Troppers are loading up in the ships going off to battle and Papaltine is watching them then they cut to the wedding of anakin and padme. The music is just unbelievable I think it is the best ending to a Star Wars movie so far!
Any one else have a new favorite scene?

NEW YORK (WFAN/AP) — It was Victor Cruz's day.
He had the sellout crowd calling his name and dancing in the aisles. The wide receiver had the Giants on the verge of another fourth-quarter comeback win.
Then it slipped off his fingertips.
Cornerback Brandon Browner gathered in a pass that bounced off Cruz's hands and sped down the right sideline on a 94-yard interception with 1:08 to play as the Seattle Seahawks thwarted yet another late Giants rally and won 36-25 Sunday.
"We were driving, we were in there," a disappointed Cruz said after seeing career highs of eight catches for 161 yards, including a spectacular 68-yard TD catch and run that ended in an end zone salsa, go for naught. "We sensed we could win the game on that very play. You always want to win the game. When you do something to negate that, it wipes out the good and you see the bad."
After the Giants (3-2) fell behind 29-25 on a 27-yard touchdown pass from Charlie Whitehurst to Doug Baldwin with 2:37 to play, Eli Manning drove the Giants from their 20 to the Seattle 5 on consecutive passes of 41 and 19 yards to Cruz.
After a false start against tackle Will Beatty on first down, the Giants bunched three receivers on the left side and Manning (24 of 39 for 420 yards) tried to hit Cruz on a look-in. The pass was a little low and Cruz reached to pull it in.
"I thought I gripped it, but as soon as I went to grip it in, I got hit and it bobbled up in the air," said Cruz, who also lost a fourth-quarter fumble deep in New York territory that allowed Seattle to tie it at 22.
"I knew it was all downhill from there because there were two guys there and one of them was going to pick it off."
The ball deflected off Seattle safety Kam Chancellor, popped in the air and went to Browner. Cruz grabbed at Browner's foot as he headed downfield, but he could not hold on, and the Giants' three-game winning streak was over.
"It was almost like slow motion, the tipped ball and it landed in my hands and it was a footrace from there," Browner said.
Whitehurst, who replaced the injured Tarvaris Jackson in the third quarter, led the Seahawks (2-3) on an 80-yard touchdown drive, which he capped with his pass to a wide-open Baldwin with 2:37 left. The Giants seemed to stop on the play after defensive end Osi Umenyiora jumped offside.
"I don't think there was confusion. You've got to keep playing," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "You're a defensive team making a penalty."
The Giants staged fourth-quarter rallies to win their last two games against Philadelphia and Arizona, but they made too many mistakes to get a third straight.
"This week, the sloppiness of the game, you're not going to win football games when you're handing people the ball at point-blank range," the coach said.
On Cruz's TD, Chancellor misplayed what should have been an interception and tipped the ball into the air. Cruz stuck out his right arm for a one-handed catch and sped the final 25 yards to score, making it 22-19 for New York.
But Cruz couldn't hold on to the biggest throw.
Whitehurst finished 11 of 19 for 149 yards in relief of Jackson, who was 15 of 22 for 166 yards and a touchdown before going out with a chest injury after being tackled on a third-quarter run.
Marshawn Lynch rushed for 98 yards and a touchdown, and Steven Hauschka had field goals of 51 and 43 yards.
Manning's touchdown passes covered 13 yards to tight end Jake Ballard, 19 to Hakeem Nicks just before halftime and the long one to Cruz, which seemingly had the Giants on the road to their fourth straight win.
Seattle dominated the third quarter with defense. It took a 16-14 lead on a safety by Anthony Hargrove on a tackle on a play that started at the Giants 5.
"I came inside and beat the guard and all I saw was a guy in blue in the end zone," Hargrove said.
The lead grew to 19-14 on the long field goal by Hauschka, and then the fun started in the fourth quarter.
The Seahawks should have gone to the locker room at halftime with at least a seven-point lead, but instead found themselves tied at 14 after Giants cornerback Aaron Ross picked off Jackson's throw at the New York 41. Manning then completed four straight passes, the final one covering 19 yards to a diving Nicks in the right corner of the end zone.
Seattle also lost two fumbles deep in Giants territory. Lynch lost one at the 11 in the first quarter and Michael Robinson lost the other on a first-and-goal from the 2 in the second quarter.
Still, Seattle scored more points in the first 12 minutes of this game than it did in the last two games against New York, when the Seahawks were outscored 85-13.
The game opened with the teams exchanging lightning-fast 80-yard touchdown drives.
Ben Obomanu scored on an 11-yard pass in the flat that caught the Giants in a blitz, while Ballard carried linebacker David Hawthorne the final 2 yards on a 13-yard TD pass up the middle.
Notes: Two Giants, guard Chris Snee and long snapper Zak DeOssie, sustained concussions. … Baldwin had 12 receptions coming into the game for 194 yards. … The game was a relative sackfest: New York had six, led by Jason Pierre-Paul with 2½, and Seattle had three, two by Chris Clemons.

Darwin Day
This National Photographic photo must be dedicated grudgingly to the memory of our hero, because Darwin apparently thought that the fabulous marine iguana, symbol of the Galapagos Islands, was ugly. He also dared to straddle the back of a Galapagos tortoise.
That's not the first time we've heard of otherwise intelligent individuals behaving as silly sporting tourists. So, we should be prepared to pardon posthumously the young naturalist for his frivolous behavior. In any case, Galapagos is where the theory of evolution seems to have been conceived. I imagine these islands as a sacred place: our Jerusalem.
In Christian theology, certain great figures have been linked to animals.
The four Evangelists are associated with symbolic creatures: a lion for Mark, an ox for Luke, an eagle for John, etc. It's high time to update theology. I proclaim: Henceforth, our beloved Saint Charles D will be represented by an iguana, our living Saint Richard D by a tortoise.
8 comments:
Kristin: I agree. What beautiful creatures! If ever you had the email address of an iguana breeder who can dispatch such beasts to Choranche (Vercors, France), please let me know. But what would I feed them? Do iguanas eat normal dog food? Besides, would they like to romp around in the snow?
ReplyDeleteTo be strictly pedantic, we would call those giant terrstrial reptiles tortoises, the term turtle being reserved for the marine branch of that taxon. There is a nice reconstruction of Darwin sitting astride a giant tortoise in the current Darwin exhibiton in the Natutal History Museum of Vienna.
The marine iguanas are especially fascinating as being poikilotherms they can forage in the cold sea water for a comparatively short time before having emerge to sun-bathe and warm up.
Thanks for thr post.Our youngest had a pet iguana, Luigi.
I befriended him. He recognized my voice and would look at me when I talked to him. He liked to explore the house and steal a bite or two of our Wiener dog's food occasionally, but preferred an assortment of vegetables over anything the dog had. He loved desktop computer, lounging on top of the monitor. We had to keep him off though, after he mistook it for the loo. Unfortunately, we had to leave him behind when we moved. He makes his home now with snakes and fish ias a teacher's pet.Maalie: These days, I run into so many bits and pieces about Darwin (including extracts from a recently-made movie) that I tend to forget where such-and-such an anecdote comes from. But I was indeed struck by that image in your blog of Darwin astride a tortoise. Concerning the turtle/tortoise terminology, it's worse (for me) than knowing whether to say Peking or Beijing.
Merisi: I didn't actually imagine seriously for an instant that people could in fact keep an iguana as a pet. But I guess I should accept the idea that people have kept all imaginable creatures as pets. There's a fascinating story in the media about Florida being invaded by pythons that were once pets. Many years ago, I had a small flock of sheep at Gamone. When I was looking after my wife's dog for a few months (while Christine was changing houses), the dog chased my sheep out of their paddock and down the road. They sought refuge on the slopes of a nearby mountain belonging to my neighbor, and they could never be coaxed back to my place. From time to time, I learn from neighbors that ewes with lambs have been sighted there, but the sheep have become essentially feral. Their presence contradicts persistent rumors about wolves in our corner of the Vercors.I agree: Iguanas as pets should be outlawed and if only to save fathers from being manipulated by their small daughters into buying one. It was my fault, of course, since I was traveling, leaving poor daughter without her mummy. And I was lucky, my husband said, since what the little one had really wanted was a boa constrictor!

15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"

Long-Term Antecedents and Outcomes of Perceived Control
Perceived control plays an important role in shaping development throughout adulthood and old age. Using data from the adult lifespan sample of the national German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP; N > 10,000, covering 25 years of measurement), we explored long-term antecedents, correlates, and outcomes of perceived control and examined if associations differ with age. Targeting correlates and antecedents of control, findings indicated that higher concurrent levels of social participation, life satisfaction, and self-rated health as well as more positive changes in social participation over the preceding 11 years were each predictive of between-person differences in perceived control. Targeting health outcomes of control, survival analyses revealed that perceived control predicted 14-year hazard rates for disability (n = 996 became disabled) and mortality (n = 1,382 died). The effect for mortality, but not for disability, was independent of socio-demographic and psychosocial factors. Overall, we found very limited support for age-differential associations. Our results provide further impetus to thoroughly examine processes involved in antecedent-consequent relations among perceived control, facets of social life, well-being, and health.

But the real glass pathway, jutting 70-feet out over the cliff edge, 3/4 of a mile over the river bed, promises to be far more so. What does it take to bring a project of this magnitude to life? A million pounds of steel, and 90 tons of tempered glass, apparently. Here are some of the first shots of the walkway's construction, courtesy of the LA Times' feature on the structure.AdvertisementI'm not sure I have the guts to walk out over it. My faith in engineering and materials science simply doesn't extend that far. You? GIF Grand Canyon Skywalk [Via Sci Fi Blog]

Broad Channel Bits
By Liz Guarino
Cold weather is really moving in to remind us it's almost Winter, which
officially begins on the 21st. Hopefully, everyone will be finished with
Christmas shopping long before then!
REMEMBERING OUR VETS: Tomorrow is Pearl Harbor Day and a ceremony to mark the day will be held at the 17th Road Park at 11 a.m. Rolls and coffee will be served at the American Legion Hall after the ceremony which will take place at the All Wars Monument.
During the entire month of December (the 1st to the 31st) gently used, clean warm coats of all sizes (still serviceable, with the zippers working, no buttons missing, no rips etc.) can be left at the 100th Precinct as part of
the 14th Annual New York Cares Coat Drive to provide appropriate outerwear for the less fortunate.
This Sunday, December 8 there will be Installation of New Altar Servers at the 11:30 a.m. mass.
BCVFD will be holding CPR classes on December 15. These classes culminate in certification, which is very useful or even necessary for certain positions. Lifeguards and ambulance drivers are just two occupations where it would be useful. But there are still seats in the class. The Vollies must have a minimum number of students to hold the class. Call Eddie at 318-5504 if you are interested in attending these classes.
This weekend is the SVS PA 14th Annual Craft Fair. Held in the school
building it features homemade crafts that make very original gifts-for you or someone you love. Items include ornaments, candles, angels, wooden toys, ornaments, wreaths, dolls, candies, baked goods and more.
Over the years, I have gotten very beautiful, clever and high-quality
Christmas decorations here. Quite a few years ago, I bought something really ingenious there---two placemats made from circles of Christmas card fronts, glued together in a symmetrical pattern and covered with clear Contac paper. The backing is a nice red Christmasy pattern. I look for a similar item every year because I'd like more, but haven't seen anything like those placemats--yet. While I'm still hoping, there's so much other stuff to buy.
There are many baskets being raffled off; among them are a Home Décor, Game, DVD, Santa's, Baby Items and Disney Princesses' Baskets. There will be a baked goods section. Many of the Christmas Ornaments can be personalized. Saturday hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Christmas Tree Lighting will take place at the 17th Road Park on Friday, December 13th at 7 p.m. Marty Feeney is chairman of the event.
Kiddie Bingo will be held on December 15th at 2 p.m. in the Christ
Presbyterian Church Hall for ages 5 and up. There will be games, raffles and prizes. Refreshments will be served. Admission is $6. Call Mary 634-5804 or Jo 474-8207 to buy tickets.
AT THE LIBRARY: Irish music will be in the air on December 12 at 3 p.m. in "Irish Folk Holiday Songs." Teresa Mazzilli will sing "Danny Boy," "Irish Eyes Are Smiling," "Christmas in Ireland," and many other favorites during this enjoyable afternoon. Everyone is welcome.
BCVFD is sponsoring Toys for Tots. New unwrapped toys and/or new clothing items can be left at Coogan's or Grassy's until the 17th of December. On December 14 anyone who brings a toy to Grassy's will get a free beer that night. On Christmas Eve look for the Vollies. They will be traveling around with Santa!
The Beautification Committee and All-American Deli will co-sponsor this
year's House Decorating Contest. The judging date will be December 23rd. For those not yet familiar with this tradition: Holiday decorations on the
outside of your house make the Channel brighter and may win you a prize! Show your creativity; be original. As I get more information on this, I will make it available.
The Brunch at the Legion last month was the first in what seemed (to me) like a very long time. It was very well attended. When I was there, there were about 80 people seated. It was a bit hard to count because people were arriving or leaving, getting up for coffee and cake or visiting other tables and chatting. If the heavy stream of diners continued all afternoon, the members of the Auxiliary must have been exhausted by the end of the Brunch.
Last week, I got an email about a Broad Channel reunion that takes place in the Florida Keys! The reunion had a pretty good turnout last year-over 60 people! Apparently, some Broad Channel residents have retired to Florida and they get together down there. Of course, some folks living here do travel down to join in on this event! It's held on Key Largo on St. Patrick's Day, March 17 at 1 p.m. at Snapper's Waterfront Saloon and Wet Bar.
It's not a huge expensive way to make a difference, but it's the little
things that count! You can help St. Virgilius School which takes part in
General Mills Box Tops for Education and Campbell's Labels for Education
Program. Both programs let the school earn free merchandise. People can help by using a variety of Campbell's and General Mills products: Prego, V8, Pepperidge Farms, Swanson, Healthy Choice and, of course, Campbell and General Mills. Drop the labels, lids or UPC codes from the products at the school, the special box in the rear of the church or give them to a St. Virgilius student.

New Reviews: Corruption, confusion and kung fu
'All the King's Men' (PG-13)
In another not-so-good remake of a wonderful classic film, Sean Penn takes on the role of corrupt Southern politician Willie Stark - originally played to memorable effect by Broderick Crawford - and goes all Al Pacino on it.
He flails, he spits and he delivers his lines in a marble-mouthed Louisiana accent, and the result is reminiscent less of Huey Long than of Huey, Dewey and Louie.
The cast, which includes Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Anthony Hopkins and James Gandolfini, is stellar, but all are overshadowed by Penn's bigger-than-life, scenery-chewing performance.
The message of Robert Penn Warren's 1946 novel, that power corrupts because people are so easily corruptible, gets a muddled treatment by writer-director Steven Zaillian, who re-imagines the story with a messy directorial hand that drags the audience back and forth in time and dismisses important subplots along the way.
Poorly written, badly cast (Penn, for all his gesticulations, is simply wrong for the role) and a general mess all around, you're better off catching the Oscar-winning 1949 original on Turner Classic Movies.

'Haven' (R)
A businessman (Bill Paxton) flees from the feds to the Cayman Islands with a whole lot of money and his daughter (Agnes Bruckner). The daughter sneaks out to go to a party with a local boy (Victor Rasuk) and … huh? All of a sudden, the movie's about something else entirely.
Now it's about a young fisherman (Orlando Bloom) in love with his boss's daughter (Zoe Saldana). Her overprotective older brother throws acid in Bloom's face - supposedly rendering him hideous, but really only giving him one very odd eyebrow. But what about Paxton?
Oh, there he is. The screen reads, 'Four months later.' What the hell?
First-time director Frank E. Flowers wanted to make 'Pulp Fiction' or 'Traffic' so much it's a little sad. He uses all the cool camera tricks but lacks rhythm, humor or a cohesive narrative.
Co-produced by Bloom, 'Haven' sat on the shelf for two years before trickling into theaters. You've been warned.
Fox Tower
'Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers' (NR)
If activist filmmaker Robert Greenwald goes down in history, it will be as an engine for change, not as a stylish or innovative director.
He has tackled the Fox News Channel ('Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism') and Wal-Mart ('Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price') and now he's taking on Halliburton and other corporations that are raking in millions of dollars as contractors with the U.S. military in Iraq.
The somewhat frustrating film jumps from critique to critique - private employees interrogating military prisoners, truck drivers gunned down during a job to which they never should have been assigned, soldiers showering in contaminated water.
Greenwald tries to fit it all together but ends up with a lot of loose ends. Then again, it's not his fault that the system of military contracts is so corrupt and dysfunctional that it would take five or 10 feature-length films to document it all.
Greenwald will answer questions after tonight's 7 o'clock screening.

Clinton Street Theater
'Jet Li's Fearless' (PG-13)
'Fearless' is being promoted as Hong Kong star Jet Li's farewell to kung fu. As a swan song to traditional martial arts filmmaking, his earlier 'Hero' would have been a more glorious choice.
But this inspirational biopic about martial artist Huo Yuanjia, who rallied Chinese national pride amid the growing Western influence of the early 20th century, makes for an entertaining and perhaps more personal final bow in the genre.
Recalling such Li classics as 'Once Upon a Time in China,' it blends fast and furious action, melodrama and sentimentality with the usual Hong Kong exuberance.
Less welcome are the computer enhancements that give some of the fights a too-contemporary goosing, but director Ronny Yu generally maintains old-fashioned charm while his star provides the charisma.
Let's hope the Jetster's future efforts prove more salutary than a recent Hollywood stint that can only be called cheerless.

Brendan Powell: jockey is escorted back to weighing room after blunder
PICTURE: Edward Whitaker (racingpost.com/photos)Wrong course drama at Fakenham for Powell
JOCKEY Brendan Powell was left red-faced and banned for 14 days after taking the wrong course when well clear at Fakenham on Tuesday.
Riding Benny The Swinger for trainer Chris Gordon and owner Les Gilbert, conditional jockey Powell went the wrong side of the divide at the end of the 2m½f handicap chase jumping the fence in front of the stands instead of crossing the winning line.
While racegoers and punters were left flummoxed by what had just happened, it appeared to have left Roc De Guye with the simplest of tasks to win the race for a third year running but he was nabbed on the line by Peak Seasons, who won by a nose.
The Michael Chapman-trained Peak Seasons was winning for the second time in as many days and provided his rider Gerald Galligan with only his second winner having been aboard 24 hours earlier.
Speaking from Folkestone, Gordon said: "I'm not going to shout at the boy, I'm going to let his father do that. Brendan will be gutted and the owner will be gutted and it is very upsetting.
"It's one of those things but it happens too often at Fakenham. It is a sharp course and if only they dolled it off on the last circuit so jockeys don't make that mistake."
Powell's father Brendan Powell snr wrote on Twitter: "He made a mistake. He's devastated. Only 17. I think that's enough abuse now. Thanks."
Tony Calvin: "a Betfair first"
PICTURE: Jim AustinThe stewards held an inquiry into the race and banned Powell for 14 days (December 4-17 inclusive) for taking the wrong course.
The stewards also looked into the ride of Adam Wedge on Roc De Guye and stipendary steward Tony McGlone said: "Obviously we looked at his ride but we were satisfied that he had ridden out all the way to the line."
There was £29,000 matched on Benny The Swinger at 1.01, the shortest possible price, on Betfair while £39 was matched on Peak Seasons at 1000, the maximum price available. Roc De Guye also traded at both prices.
Betfair spokesman Tony Calvin said: "I can't readily recall a race where two horses have traded at the minimum price of 1-100 and lost, and the winner has traded at 999-1.
"And certainly not a race when a horse - in this case, the runner-up Roc De Guye - has gone from 999-1 to 1-100, in a matter of seconds, and still lost. The race could well be a Betfair first."
Bookmaker Paddy Power paid out on Benny The Swinger as if he was the winner while Boylesports refunded bets placed on the unfortunate runner.
Powell's mistake is not the first to happen at Fakenham with Gold Cup and King George-winning jockey Sam Waley-Cohen riding a finish early in December last year. Denis O'Regan and Sam Thomas also made errors around the sharp course in 2008.

After over two decades of recording the sights and sounds and motions of Bullitt Fiscal Court members, Donna Ploetner can sit back and relax.
SHEPHERDSVILLE – Without a doubt, this past school year produced a record number of local athletes signing to play college sports starting in the fall.
How do I know it is a record number? Because we're almost to the middle of July and I am still running the stories here in The Pioneer News and have been pretty much for the past six weeks or since the end of the baseball and softball season. At one point in early June, I had a list of 15 signing stories that had been collected and not yet put in the paper.
Black and white. Vertical and horizontal. Republican and Democrat. Girls and boys. Progress and regression. Teamwork and individualism. Success and failure.
I blame my interest in journalism on one thing, "All the President's Men." Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman are the leads in the movie. They star as Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein respectively, The Washington Post reporting duo that uncovered the Watergate Scandal, and as a result, made journalism history.During my freshman year Introduction to Journalism class at Bullitt East High School, we watched the movie and I remember being fascinated by the work Woodward and Bernstein did.
Compiled by Charles Hartley
In this column we will look back 15, 30, 60, and 90 years to capture glimpses of what was happening in Bullitt County in each of these years. Today we will focus on the month of May.
1998 - 15 Years Ago.
Forest Ranger Sammy Allen, an '81 Bullitt Central graduate, was honored with an "outstanding employee award" by the Kentucky Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet after his first year on the job.
The day is quickly approaching. For over 900 young adults, graduation ceremonies will be held on Saturday at Broadbent Arena.
Field trips in the schools…what is their value?
It's another off-track at newly-christened Hall of Famer Mike Farner Downs, home of the annual Bullitt County Derby.

Relentless Pursuit: A Year in the Trenches with Teach for America (Paperback)
When Locke High School opened its doors in 1967, the residents of Watts celebrated it as a sign of the changes promised by Los Angeles. But four decades later, first-year Teach for America recruits Rachelle, Phillip, Hrag, and Taylor are greeted by a school that looks more like a prison, with bars, padlocks, and chains all over.
With little training and experience, these four will be asked to produce academic gains in students who are among the most disadvantaged in the country. Relentless Pursuit lays bare the experiences of these four teachers to evaluate the strengths and peculiarities of Teach for America and a social reality that has become inescapable.
About the Author
Donna Foote is a freelance journalist and former Newsweek correspondent. She lives in Manhattan Beach, California with her husband and fourteen-year-old son.
Praise For…
"Richly detailed. . . . Her book is the most interesting account of inner-city high school life in many years and only whets my appetite for more. —The Washington Post Book World"A vivid parallel account of the challenges these new teachers face and the challenges of building a movement for change within education. . . . This could be the book that moves Teach for America firmly into the broader national consciousness." —New York Post "Here is skilled, attentive documentary work become an instrument for the reader's moral and social reflection — educational idealism, its achievements and its tribulations as they envelop the lives of schoolchildren, and their longtime teachers, their newly arrived ones: the effort to 'teach for America' become a social, psychological lesson all its own."—Robert Coles, author of Children of Crisis "This important book is also a gripping read. From the first page, when Locke High School is locked down, Foote's compelling and inspiring characters draw us into the dizzying challenge of trying save the next generation and redeem the promise of America. Relentless Pursuit is not just for anyone who cares about poor kids and education. It's for anyone who cares about the future of the country."—Jonathan Alter, author of The Defining Moment: FDR's Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope"This book beautifully conveys the spirit, dedication and heroism of Teach For America and shows why it is such a valuable experience both for its corps members and their students."—Walter Isaacson, author of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life"I will put this simply — this is one of the most profound books I have ever read. Donna Foote's Relentless Pursuit will make you cringe. It will make you cry. It will make you cheer. Most important, it gives proof that education, under conditions that should make every American ashamed, can work with a beauty beyond all imagination. Just magnificent and inspiring."—Buzz Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights and A Prayer for the City"Foote's account couldn't be better-timed. Her inside view of TFA's self-reinvention…demonstrates what relentless reflection on, and revision of, a mission and its methods can accomplish. The lessons on display are especially important for an era in which a ruthless focus on student outcomes risks overlooking a key ingredient of that enterprise: inputs for teachers, who need all the help they can get as they face an educational culture of new pressures and expectations, along with age-old challenges….Foote's fine-grained account of Locke supplies the larger context and a corrective."—Sara Mosle, Slate

Last April, the Glimmers-Belgian deejays Benoelie and Mo, who've been slinging records together for more than two decades-released a well-received DJ Kicks mix. So it's only natural that they participate in another prestigious and long-running deejay mix series, and they bring a kitchen-sink mentality to their twenty-one-track FabricLive compilation.
Do you like indie-dance? You'll enjoy such tracks as LCD Soundsystem's "Disco Infiltrator" and a sexy remix of Sons and Daughters' "Dance Me In." Prefer dub reggae? You'll appreciate the inclusion of Black Slate's "Sticks Man," which the Belgians have cleverly sandwiched within a reworked version of "Bad Man" by Urban Jungle. Fans of dorky '80s pop will love the Human League's "Things that Dreams Are Made Of" and the Glimmers' own remix of Roxy Music's "Same Old Scene." Benoelie and Mo also include nasty synth-disco from Freez, old-school rap from Chris "The Glove" Taylor and funky vocal weirdness from George Kranz.
On a technical level, the mix is assembled with considerable skill. The transitions are handled stylishly, and the tracks generally flow together elegantly. However, some of these tracks are sufficiently odd that on a dance floor they might inspire more head-scratching than ass-shaking. But this is hardly a flaw. On FabricLive.31, the Glimmers have delivered an eclectic and entertaining deejay mix. It may not have something for everyone, but it probably has something for everyone who listens to or cares about deejay mixes from European dance labels.

BERLIN (AP) — A Russian man who was convicted of killing an air traffic controller he blamed for a plane crash in which his wife and children died was held for several hours as he tried to enter Germany to mark the accident's anniversary.
Vitaly Kaloyev was convicted in Switzerland in 2005 and released in 2007.
German federal police spokesman Albert Poerschke said he arrived at Munich airport Saturday morning but was held because he's barred from entering Switzerland. Germany and Switzerland belong to Europe's passport-free travel zone.
Kaloyev was let into Germany Saturday afternoon on papers valid only for that country.
On July 1, 2002, a plane operated by Russia's Bashkirian Airlines collided with a DHL cargo jet in Swiss-controlled airspace over southern Germany. The crash killed 71 people.

Ok so here's my problem.
I have a carrousel menu, you know the one thats like a wheel and spins with the mouse? Each one of those images is a button, the idea is that when I click one of those buttons, some content shows up.
Basic right?
I first had the idea to use an emptyMC and load the SWF on to it, but since behind my carrousel I have a solid color circle as the background of the carrousel, I couldn't do it like this because of the background of the SWF to be loaded (can't make an SWF transparent within a Flash Movie, right?) So if I loaded those swf the squared rectangle would block the circle behind the carrousel, not what I want.
So I had the idea, instead of making external SWFs just do it all in the same file, so I made a button play some frames and it works, except that it appears behind the carrousel and I need it to block it so we can see the content above. I tried unloading the carrousel movieclip but it just doesn't... Tried making it visibility = false and nothing... Tried it on other movieclips on stage and it works... So I'm guessing it has to be the AS used on the carrousel MC... The code is below:
var total:Number = 12;
var radiusX:Number = 200;
var radiusY:Number = 160;
var centerX:Number = 512;
var centerY:Number = 310;
var speed:Number = 0.005;
tn_group_mc._visible = false;
info.text = ""; fm_label.text = "";
for( var i = 0; i < total; i++)
var t = tn_group_mc.duplicateMovieClip("tn"+i, i);
t.tn_mc.gotoAndStop(i+1); t.tn_shadow_mc.gotoAndStop(i+1);
t.fm_label = label_list[i];
t.fm_url = link_list[i];
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/total);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
t.fm_button.onRollOver = function()
fm_label.text = "Title: " + this._parent.fm_label;
info.text = "URL: " + this._parent.fm_url;
t.fm_button.onRollOut = function()
info.text = ""; fm_label.text = "";
t.fm_button.onRelease = function()
getURL( this._parent.fm_url );
function mover()
this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
this._y = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
var s = this._y /(centerY+radiusY);
this._xscale = this._yscale = s*100;
this.angle += this._parent.speed;
this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale) + 100);
this.onMouseMove = function()
speed = (this._xmouse-centerX) * 0.0001;
This AS is in frame 1, frame 2-10 is the animation of the first "section" I open when I click the carrousel menu. I see the animation, but like I mentioned before, behind the carrousel...
The animation, I placed it on top of the carrousel MC on a higher layer but still, the carrousel is over the animation.
Can anyone help? Please!

This report describes the typical weather at the Kadena Air Base (Okinawa, Japan) weather station over the course of an average December. It is based on the historical records from 1974 to 2012. Earlier records are either unavailable or unreliable.
Okinawa has a warm humid temperate climate with hot summers and no dry season. The area within 25 mi of this station is covered by oceans and seas (85%), croplands (8%), and forests (7%).
The month of December is characterized by falling daily high temperatures, with daily highs decreasing from 73°F to 68°F over the course of the month, exceeding 79°F or dropping below 62°F only one day in ten.
Over the course of December, the length of the day is essentially constant. The shortest day of the month is December 15 with 10:30 hours of daylight; the longest day is December 1 with 10:36 hours of daylight.
The earliest sunrise is at 7:00am on December 1; the latest sunset is at 5:47pm on December 31; the latest sunrise is at 7:17am on December 31; the earliest sunset is at 5:36pm on December 1.
Daylight saving time (DST) is not observed in 2012.
The median cloud cover ranges from 78% (partly cloudy) to 84% (mostly cloudy). The trend is for the sky to be becoming cloudier with the median cloud cover increasing by 6% from the start to the end of the month.
On December 16, a representative day, the sky is clear or mostly clear 14% of the time, partly cloudy 12% of the time, and mostly cloudy or overcast 33% of the time.
The average probability that some form of precipitation will be observed in a given day is 67%, with little variation over the course of the month.
Throughout December, the most common forms of precipitation are moderate rain and light rain.
Moderate rain is the most severe precipitation observed during 55% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around December 28, when it is observed during 39% of all days.
Light rain is the most severe precipitation observed during 36% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around December 1, when it is observed during 25% of all days.
Either snow is exceptionally unlikely to fall at this location in December or this station does not reliably report precipitation types.
The relative humidity typically ranges from 55% (mildly humid) to 85% (humid) over the course of a typical December, rarely dropping below 42% (comfortable) and reaching as high as 98% (very humid).
The air is driest around December 24, at which time the relative humidity drops below 61% (mildly humid) three days out of four; it is most humid around December 29, rising above 78% (humid) three days out of four.
Dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find the weather than relative humidity because it more directly relates to whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid.
Over the course of a typical December, the dew point typically varies from 47°F (dry) to 61°F (comfortable) and is rarely below 38°F (dry) or above 70°F (muggy).
The time of the month between December 1 and December 31 is the most comfortable, with dew points that are neither too dry nor too muggy.
Over the course of December typical wind speeds vary from 3 mph to 16 mph (light air to moderate breeze), rarely exceeding 21 mph (fresh breeze).
The highest average wind speed of 10 mph (gentle breeze) occurs around December 1, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 16 mph (moderate breeze).
The lowest average wind speed of 9 mph (gentle breeze) occurs around December 28, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 15 mph (moderate breeze).

A Survey in Project Commitment in the Context of Information Security
The aim of this paper is to investigate project commitment in the information systems security context. In doing so, a survey takes place in order to investigate organizational commitment to information security projects within a financial institution. Achieving the required level of information security within organizations usually requires more than security awareness and control but also a better understanding of the organizations' culture in which security measures are tailored, too. In effect, organizations have a clearer insight into how to commit more effectively to such security measures and so, project commitment to information systems security can be efficient.

The worst of it was, Jon always woke up hungry as well as nauseous.This particular time, Jon started puking before the autosystems had even lifted him out of the Interdream envelope.

A Pittsburgh doctor whose car was involved in a collision on the Pennsylvania Turnpike died after another driver struck him while he surveyed the damage, state police said today.
Andrew S. Fisher, 35, was one of the drivers involved in a series of minor crashes at around 12:30 p.m. Sunday near mile post 300 in West Nantmeal, Chester County.
Dr. Fisher got out of his car and walked to check out the damage of the most severe crash.
Susanne M. Case, 72, of Trenton, N.J., was driving toward the crash site when she "drove to the berm to avoid striking the people standing in the roadway" and instead struck Dr. Fisher while he stood on an embankment, state police from the Bowmansville barracks said in a news release.
Dr. Fisher died at the scene.
Dr. Francis Solano said Dr. Fisher, who worked at Solano & Kokales Internal Medicine Associates-UPMC, was a wonderful and giving person.
"Here, he ends up in a tragic accident helping people in a horrible snow storm," Dr. Solano said.
Dr. Fisher is survived by his wife and two children.

Movie SummaryOld Yeller
Description: Based on the novel by Fred Gipson, Old Yeller is set in Texas in 1869. While his father is away on a cattle drive, 15-year-old Travis Coates (Tommy Kirk) takes over management of the family farm. Adopting a strictly business policy, Travis is irritated when younger brother, Arliss (Kevin Corcoran), adopts a frisky stray dog. But soon Travis is as fond of the dog as everyone else in the family; moreover, Old Yeller is an excellent watchdog. But while fighting off a mad wolf, Yeller is infected with rabies. Though Yeller seems unaffected at first, he eventually behaves so viciously that the disheartened Travis has no choice but to shoot the dog. A heart-to-heart talk between Travis and his returning father (Fess Parker), coupled with the adoption of a new pup, paves the way to an emotional but reasonably happy ending. Earning eight million dolalrs domestically on its first release, Old Yeller convinced Walt Disney to devote more and more time to live-action films and less time to animation -- which at the time was a sagacious business move. In 1963, Disney released a lesser sequel to Old Yeller titled Savage Sam.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source

Mallinger approaches maiden win
John Mallinger takes a two-shot lead into the final round of the Frys.com Open after shooting a third round 70 on Saturday.
John Mallinger takes a two-shot lead into the final round of the Frys.com Open after shooting a one-under 70 in Saturday's third round.
The 33-year-old American, who is still looking for his maiden PGA victory, is on 15-under after opening rounds of 66 and 62 for a 54-hole total of 198 at CordeValle.
"I just didn't have it all. I didn't drive it as well as I did yesterday," Mallinger commented after his round on Saturday.
"I think I hit every fairway yesterday, and then today I just got off to a weird start. But I hung around there and made some birdies on the back nine that got me back into position. Still got lead, still got a good spot, and look forward to tomorrow."
"I'm going to still stay aggressive and try to make as many birdies as possible," Mallinger added.
"It's going to be a birdie day. I mean, it's supposed to be nice tomorrow."
Sweden's Jonas Blixt moved into second place after a round of 66, which included birdies on five of the last eight holes.
"The front nine is a little harder," Blixt, who finished third in Las Vegas last week, noted.
"The back nine you can make a couple birdies. Hopefully, I can finish like I did today.
One shot behind the Swede is Charles Howell III and Jason Kokrak, who carded 66 and 67 respectively.
"It'll be a shootout tomorrow," Howell said.
"The greens are so soft and there will be a lot of birdies, but at least I have a chance."
Kokrak, a PGA Tour rookie who won twice on the Web.com Tour last year, was happy with his position going into the final round.
"This is the first time I put myself in really good position," Kokrak said.
"I just want to go out tomorrow and do the same things I did today."
One shot further behind on 11-under are Fijian veteran Vijay Singh and Brazil's Alexandre Rocha, who both shot 66s.
"I found something in my putting that's working really, really good, so hopefully tomorrow I can get some going," the 49-year-old Singh commented.
"I've changed my grip a little bit and it's flowing really freely. So that's a big plus."
British Open champion Ernie Els is five-under under after a 69.

Air Movie is the romance story you were looking for in Air TV but never got. Follow Yukito and Misuzu as they finally get the opportunity to get to know each other and share the moments they were meant to share.
Story: 9.5/10
Just so you're aware, Air Movie is an alternative version of the story in Air TV. However, unlike Air TV, it actually makes sense! And it's the perfect mix of comedy and drama, with made me happy. But the thing you will remember most about this movie is love of Yukito and Misuzu! I mean seriously, it was about time those two finally became a couple! You can really see how their feelings for each other develop over the course of the plot and every moment between them is so special that you'll want to replay certain scenes over and over again because that's just how precious they are. And the story of Kanna and Ryuya is also told and fans of those two will be glad to see that their relationship is much more romantic this time as well. My only disappointment was that the ending was way too predictable and hard to accept. But regardless this movie is just so BEAUTIFUL!!!
Animation: 10/10
While I will admit some parts were a bit too bright, I understand why they made it that way. Light represents the goodness in people, unhidden feelings, trust and love which are all present in this movie. Misuzu's town is full of detail and is very unique. In fact, just about every location was stunning and memorable from the bus stop, to the town, to Misuzu's room, and best of all, the summer festival. The characters, of course, look great as well. And who could forget the scene with Yukito in the bath?!?! 8D ME GUSTA!!! But seriously, this has got to be some of the best animation I've seen. Also, comedic parts look silly!
Sound: 10/10
Awesome! Everyone did a great job with their character! But if there was anyone who really stood out above the rest, it would have to be Haruko. Her seiyuu knew how to convey all of her different emotions from drunk to optimistic to despair to curious to enthusiastic to concerned to mourning. It was just so amazing! It just made the story all the more beautiful and tragic. Another great voice was that of Misuzu's. Her cheerful and playful nature was done well and never distracted from the fact that she was suffering from the curse.
Characters: 10/10
This was the best part of this movie! Yukito and Misuzu are such wonderful and relatable characters and I really just love every moment they were on screen. Haruko is MUCH MORE LIKABLE here than she was in the TV series. I'll admit I didn't really care much about Kanna and Ryuya back when I had watched Air TV, but the way their story was played out in the movie really made me feel for them. There's not much more I can say here, but I can guarantee you will love all the characters….
….Except Misuzu's good-for-nothing dad.
Overall: 10/10
Anyone looking for a good romance should COME WATCH THIS MOVIE NOW!!!!!! You'll be glad you did! It absolutely deserves to be called one of my golden treasures!

The law of defamation contemplates the clash of two fundamental rights: the right to freedom of expression and the right to reputation. The rules of defamation law are designed to mediate between these two rights. The central proposition that this book makes is that defamation law needs to be reformed to balance the conflicting rights. This discussion flows from a theoretical analysis of the rights in issue; the value underlying the right to reputation that has most resonance is human dignity, while the value that is most apposite to freedom of expression in this context is the argument that f ...

Why Shabbat Candles
The Shabbat candles have ushered the holiness of Shabbat into the Jewish home for thousands of years -- ever since the matriarch Sarah illuminated her tent with her Friday night lights.
The primary function of the Shabbat candles is to bring peace and tranquility into the home and to enhance our enjoyment of the Shabbat meal. The candles also serve to remind us of the spiritual dimensions of Shabbat: just as a physical candle reveals the otherwise unseen contents of a room, so, too, in a spiritual sense, the Shabbat candles reveal the unseen and intangible G‑dly energy which permeates our existence.

Fantasy Spotlight: MIN at NSH
by Carly Peters / Minnesota WildFantasy Spotlight: Martin Havlat
It's becoming tough to come up with "new" reasons Martin Havlat should be on your Wild Fantasy Hockey roster. Really, the Czech winger has shined in the Fantasy Spotlight probably a quarter of the games this season. He's just been that good.
In a familiar trend this year, Havlat continues to bang on the Fantasy Spotlight door until we can't ignore him any longer. In the Wild's win against Colorado Tuesday, Marty scored the opening goal, his team-leading 21st of the season. He also added an assist on the night and now has points in five straight games (2-5=7) and nine of his last 10 games (5-6=11).
The 29-year-old leads Minnesota with 21 points (11-10=21) during the team's current 14-7-2 stretch. The Wild is 14-2-3 when Havlat scores a goal and 25-13-4 when he has a point. In addition to leading the team in goals, Marty leads the Wild in assists (38), points (59) and is tied for first in game-winning goals (4).

Revision [29086]
This is an old revision of HowToWifiFromCommandWPA made by darkcity on 2013-10-06 15:42:37.
Intro | part1 - WEP | part2 - WPA
How to configure wifi from the commandline
PART 2: WPA encryption.
PART 2: WPA encryption.
For WPA encryption the "iwconfig" utility cannot be used at all. Instead, the "wpa_supplicant" utility is needed, and this is the utility which is used by Puppy's Network Wizard to configure WPA connections.
Ralink drivers in Puppy versions older than ver 4.1 can be set up for WPA encryption with unique "iwpriv" commands. See -
"PART 3: WPA encryption with Ralink devices"
wpa_supplicant needs to have a "-D" (driver) parameter specified, depending on which wifi driver is being used;
Compatible drivers using the "hostap" parameter:
Compatible drivers using the "ipw" parameter:
Compatible drivers using the "wext" (generic) parameter:
acx ath5k ath_pci b43 b43legacy bcm43xx ipw2100 ipw2200 ipw3945 iwl3945 | iwl4965 libertas_cs libertas_sdio ndiswrapper p54pci p54usb rndis_wlan (Broadcom USB) | rt2400pci rt2500pci rt2500usb rt2860sta rt2870sta rt61pci rt73usb rtl8180 rtl8187 usb8xxx zd1211 zd1211b zd1211rw |
Compatible drivers using the "ralink" parameter:
Use Geany to modify the WPA configuration file to include your SSID and Personal Security Key (PSK).
Puppy already contains 2 different configuration files;
/etc/network-wizard/wireless/wpa_profiles/wpa_supplicant.conf - for WPA encryption
/etc/network-wizard/wireless/wpa_profiles/wpa_supplicant2.conf - for WPA2 encryption
As an example, let's assume your wifi driver is the ipw2200 (so the -D parameter will be "wext") and this driver has created the network interface "eth1", and your wifi router is set for WPA2 encryption. First you must load your driver if Puppy has not automatically done so already
Code: |
modprobe ipw2200 |
It's often necessary to "bring up" the interface unconfigured
Code: |
ifconfig eth1 up |
Remove stale wpa_supplicant file if it exists
Code: |
rm /var/run/wpa_supplicant/* |
Start wpa_supplicant with debugging enabled (-dd) in case of problems
Code: |
wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -D wext -c /etc/network-wizard/wireless/wpa_profiles/wpa_supplicant2.conf -dd |
wpa_supplicant may take about 30 seconds to negotiate the connection.
Hopefully you will see a connection reported, then you can open a second console and proceed to obtain an IP address (DHCP).
It's possible to background the wpa_supplicant process in order to keep using the same xterminal by adding "-B" to the command
... but do this only once you know that the wpa_supplicant command is successful, because once backgrounded you won't see any error messages.
Now for DHCP with Puppy 3.x and earlier -
Code: |
rm /etc/dhcpc/*.pid
dhcpcd -t 30 -h puppypc -d eth1 |
for Puppy 4.0 onwards, the version of dhcpcd is different, thus -
Code: |
rm -f /var/lib/dhcpcd/*.info
rm -f /var/run/*.pid dhcpcd -t 30 -h puppypc -d eth1 |
If this dhcpcd command fails, try it with extra parameters which avoid any use of the new logic for ipv6-compatible Client ID, like this -
Code: |
dhcpcd -I '' -t 30 -h puppypc -d eth1 |
That's hyphen, capital i, space, apostrophe, apostrophe (not quotation marks). Thanks to rerwin for this information.
or to obtain a static IP address,
modify /etc/resolv.conf to include your nameservers, then
Code: |
ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.xx broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.0.1 eth1 |
Obviously replace the appropriate IP addresses.

Steven Tyler is back in the saddle again.
The mercurial Aerosmith frontman had a falling out with the venerable band, leaving guitarist Joe Perry to threaten to find a replacement last fall. But Tyler, who went to rehab to treat an addiction to painkillers after a nasty fall last summmer, says he's better, and back with his mates.
"I auditioned and I got the gig, Tyler said.
The band plans a European tour in the summer.

Researchers recently took equine cloning science a step further when the world's first filly produced by a clone and out of a clone was born. Or, more simply put, the world's first clone-to-clone foal.
To produce the foal, tissue and DNA samples from champion bucking gelding Go Wild were collected, frozen, and used after his death to produce three clones: Go Left, Go Right, and Go Straight. Semen from Go Straight was collected and used to artificially inseminate a filly clone of the infertile champion bucking mare Spring Fling.
Once the Spring Fling clone, Chloe, was confirmed pregnant, the embryo (developing fetus) was flushed from Chloe's uterus and transferred to a surrogate mare that ultimately foaled the filly.
Gregg Veneklasen, DVM, owner of Timber Creek Veterinary Hospital in Canyon, Texas, played a central role in producing the clone-to-clone filly, with his colleagues' assistance.
"The interesting thing is that this filly is not a clone herself, just like any foal produced from mating either one or two clones," Veneklasen explained. "In fact, she is has brand new genetics—no one has ever bred a gelding to an infertile mare before and produced a live foal."
Despite the horse industry's increasing acceptance of cloning—by organizations such as the Fédération Equestre Internationale, for instance—not all horse lovers are as supportive of the cloning process. Cloning opponents argue that the practice is unneeded due to the "unwanted horse" issue and horses being exported from the United States for slaughter.
Veneklasen counters, "We aren't looking at producing millions of clones, just a select few. Further, one of my team members … currently owns over 2,000 recipient mares that are all horses saved from going to slaughter.
"Ultimately, the goals (of cloning) are to save genetics and, in the future, look at and perhaps silence detrimental genes, not to produce more horses going to slaughter," Veneklasen concluded.

Gone Fishin'....lavish! Style
As many of you may know, I decided to create a conference experience for those of us lifestyle bloggers. This conference, lavish!, has certainly become my baby. I was pregnant with the idea for the longest time and now I am preparing to give birth.
It has been a very long 9 months; sometimes it felt like it would NEVER get here...other times I felt that I wasn't sure of what I'd gotten myself into. Well...the TEN DAY count down begins tomorrow and that's good news.
In order to execute very well, I'll be away from the blog until December 13. Who knew there'd be soooooooo many moving parts? So, readers, I beg your patience and solicit your prayers. I'm grateful for the vision and my support team of other wonderful bloggers, brands, family and friends.
P.S. Don't you LOVE the official conference tee designed by My at Springcart?
See you after lavish!

I LOVE the t-shirt! Good luck with the conference!
ReplyDelete I am SO wishing that I could have come to Atlanta for Lavish!!! It truly looks like a first class event and as a lifestyle blogger, I know I would have benefitted. Having just hosted a little event for my friend, Eddie Ross, I know how much work goes into something like this. Congratulations on all the amazing buzz around the event and I wanted to let you know I gave it a little shout out on my blog today, in relation to some items from La Plates (I'm also a HUGE fan of their products).
All my best,
Elizabeth of Pretty Pink Tulips

Sometimes, adding a quick twist to an otherwise ordinary look can be as simple as using colors that clash. In the FOTD below, I paired a bright reddish pink with forest green but you can also try orange with blue or even yellow with purple like my MAC Style Warrior – Gold Rebel Makeup Look.
What I Used
* Estee Lauder Invisible Fluid Makeup in 2CN2 – on areas as needed
* NARS Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base
* Senna Form-A-Brow Eyebrow Stencil Kit in Neutral
* Yaby Eyeshadow in Dragon Fruit – on eyelid
* Milani Shadow Eyez 12 Hour Wear Eyeshadow Pencil in Green Safari – lower eye
* K-Palette 1 Day Tattoo Real Lasting Eyeliner 24H WP – along upper lashline
* Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara in Black – upper lashes
* Jealousness USA Diamond Beauty Fake Lashes in JS-707 Quality Beauty
* MAC Minearlize Skinfinish in Petticoat – on cheekbones
* NARS Albatross Highlighting Blush – to highlight
* MAC Budding Love Lipstick

At the beginning of the game, he proposes Jade begin taking photos of animals in the game world in order to earn additional money used to buy items in the game, as well as to pay off the immediate debt to the Optima power company in order to activate the defense grid protecting the orphans living at the lighthouse.He plays a critical role at the end of the game, when his technical ability is needed to gain control of the DomZ transmitter (whose AI mysteriously refers to him as "General Secundo"), allowing Jade to broadcast her final, definitive report of the Alpha Sections' corruption to the whole population of Hillys.
