The Club seeks to bring something new to the shooter genre by adding some of the racing and style game mechanics Bizarre has become famous for in the Project Gotham Racing series. The game isn't just about taking down as many targets as possible; it's just as important to do it quickly and with flair. Points are given for each kill with more awarded based on where you shoot the enemy, how far away you are from the victim, and how difficult of a take down it is. If that's not enough to think about, there's also a combo multiplier that goes up with each kill but continuously ticks down in between. Each stage lasts no more than a few minutes as you race through a closed course to gun down as many enemies as you can, staying true to the arcade feeling of the game.
If you're not the type of gamer who obsesses over high scores, there really is no reason for you to pick up The Club. The main single player game, called the tournament, can be completed in under three hours and after that there's nothing to do except to replay the stages again and again. Of course, that's the point and you'll have to do it if you want to perfect your game and get the high score, but I can't help but find the game a bit shallow -- a one trick pony. After beating the game and going back to replay some stages, I didn't feel hooked by the game at all.
The Club claims to have five different types of events, but they essentially boil down to just two. Whether you're tasked with reaching an exit, reaching an exit under a certain time, or running several laps around a loop while killing to get extra time, the gameplay is identical. You won't do well in any of them if you don't move quickly to keep your combo up, so who cares if there's also a game clock? The other two events, siege and survivor, are so similar I thought they were the same thing until I was most of the way through the game.
So the game is really all about killing a lot of targets as fast as you can, regardless of the different ways Bizarre wants to present it. The enemies appear in the same places each time through one of the stages, as do the bonus targets hanging on walls that can be used to extend your combo meter, so it's possible to memorize each course and plan out a perfect route for maximum points. In this way, an obsessive person can find hours and hours of gameplay. Learning when to sprint and when to pause to shoot is the first step, but you can take it further. Since some enemy targets are worth more points than others and they often appear in clusters, the order you shoot them can affect your final score. Then if you want to get truly obsessive, you can go back through the levels and search for hidden targets planted in odd places in each stage.

MUKILTEO — Under the stars at Lighthouse Park, Bernie Busch illuminated much more about the beach than the flashlights people were carrying.
Busch, 71, was one of the volunteer Washington State University Extension Beach Watchers helping lead an educational walk during a low tide in late February. It's a passion he's indulged since retiring 10 years ago from a career in social work.
"Now, who can tell me where the sea star's eyes are?" Busch asked a group of children gathered around a tide pool. "I'll give you a hint — they have five eyes."
The fact that sea stars have eye buds, capable of seeing shapes and shadows, on the tips of their arms didn't shock the elementary-school-aged kids as much as Busch's next revelation.
Did you know, he said, that sea stars take their stomachs partway out of their bodies to feast on mussels and other critters?
"Ew! That's kind of gross," exclaimed one boy.
"Not by sea-star standards," countered another.
That night's walk was hosted by WSU's Snohomish County Extension Beach Watchers, the county's Marine Resources Committee and the city of Mukilteo.
Other beach walks have featured Edmonds' waterfront and Snohomish County's Kayak Point Regional Park south of Stanwood.
Despite his detailed descriptions of life in the tidal zone, Busch did not train in biology.
During his career in social work, he had a private practice in Richland focusing on adolescents and families.
"I decided I needed something different in retirement," he said. "Instead of mental health, it's Puget Sound health. I'm still dealing with educating and I'm still dealing with nurturing."
WSU Extension provided him the opportunity. The university's local Beach Watchers program trains volunteers to teach children and adults about the near shore.
Busch, like other participants, received 100 hours of training from scientists, teachers, regulators and other experts.
WSU's local extension also provides a more condensed course for people interested in becoming beach naturalists. It offers 13 hours of training in exchange for a commitment to volunteer for at least 10 hours.
"You don't have to be a scientist or any of these things to volunteer," said Chrys Sacco Bertolotto, who coordinates the program. "That's what the training provides is that baseline so everybody can be comfortable and accurate in what they share with the public."
Beach Watchers started in Island County in 1989, and in Snohomish County in 2006. The naturalist component is newer. More than 100 people now participate locally as Beach Watchers and about 30 as beach naturalists, Bertolotto said.
Busch, a Mukilteo resident, also volunteers at the Seattle Aquarium one day a week and as a beach naturalist for the aquarium during the summer.
During February's excursion in Mukilteo, on a fortuitously dry night, Busch seemed to have a running commentary for every tide pool and trickle of water.
Those tiny fish camouflaged against the sand and rocks? Tide-pool sculpins.
The prehistoric-looking armored mollusk? That would be a chiton.
The slippery green patch on a rock?
"It's a mass of eggs from a worm," Busch said. "In that jelly are thousands and thousands of worm eggs."
An estimated 125 people showed up that night.
They included nine children from a Camp Fire group based in south Everett. They were learning about pollution in Puget Sound and working toward earning an emblem called Trail to Environment. Sandra Christiansen, a Camp Fire club leader, said it was the first outing of this kind for many of the youngsters.
"The most interesting part for children is getting to see what's under the water," Christiansen said. "It's nice that it's free and there's a really good turnout."
Noah Haglund: 425-339-3465, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Anyone interested in becoming a beach naturalist through WSU Snohomish County Extension can sign up for 13 hours of training. In exchange, trainees are asked to volunteer 10 hours this spring and summer teaching school children and visitors to local beaches. Short applications and background checks are required. There is a $10 fee for materials.

After Psychanalyse, Trondheim was challenged by J.C. Menu to write a story with only 4 different panels, drawn by Menu. After some strips, Trondheim asked for four more panels, and wrote the highly dense comic book, Moins d'un quart de seconde pour vivre. Such constrained writing achievements, reminiscent of OuLiPo writers, were a huge incentive for OuBaPo's creation.
Does this sound like something we can try here?

11.17 ▶ Questioner: At what stage does a planet achieve social memory?
Ra: I am Ra. A mind/body/spirit social complex becomes a social memory complex when its entire group of entities are of one orientation or seeking. The group memory lost to the individuals in the roots of the tree of mind then become[s] known to the social complex, thus creating a social memory complex. The advantages of this complex are the relative lack of distortion in understanding the social beingness and the relative lack of distortion in pursuing the direction of seeking, for all understanding/distortions are available to the entities of the society.
87.13 ▶ Questioner: If one mind/body/spirit complex is harvested from third density into a fourth-density social memory complex, does the total power of the social memory complex before the absorption of this single entity double when this entity is absorbed?
Ra: I am Ra. No.
38.7 ▶ Questioner: Could you give me an example of a planet of this nature, both a third-density service-to-others type and a third-density self-service type at this level of, of attainment conditions?
Ra: I am Ra. As far as we are aware there are no negatively oriented third-density social memory complexes. Positively oriented social memory complexes of third density are not unheard of but quite rare. However, an entity from the star Sirius' planetary body has approached this planetary body twice. This entity is late third-density and is part of a third-density social memory complex. This has been referred to in the previous material. The social memory complex is properly a fourth-density phenomenon.
7.16 ▶ Questioner: Using as an example a fifth-density group or social memory complex of the Orion group, what was their previous density before they became fifth density?
Ra: I am Ra. The progress through densities is sequential. A fifth-density social memory complex would be comprised of mind/body/spirit complexes harvested from fourth density. Then the conglomerate or mass mind/body/spirit complex does its melding and the results are due to the infinitely various possibilities of combination of distortions.
87.14 ▶ Questioner: The Law of Doubling does not work in this way. How much does the power of the social memory complex increase relatively when this single entity is harvested and absorbed into it?
Ra: I am Ra. If one entity in the social memory complex is responsible for this addition to its being, that mind/body/spirit complex will absorb, in linear fashion, the power contained in the, shall we say, recruit. If a sub-group is responsible, the power is then this sub-group's. Only very rarely is the social memory complex of negative polarity capable of acting totally as one being. The loss of polarity due to this difficulty, to which we have previously referred as a kind of spiritual entropy, is quite large.
37.7 ▶ Questioner: Does each entity have an individual mind/body/spirit complex totality or do a number of entities share the same mind/body/spirit complex totality?
Ra: I am Ra. Both of these statements are correct given the appropriate time/space conditions. Each entity has its totality and at the point at which a planetary entity becomes a social memory complex the totality of this union of entities also has its Oversoul and its social memory complex totality as resource. As always, the sum*, spiritually speaking, is greater than the sum of its parts so that the Oversoul of a social memory complex is not the sum of the Oversouls of its member entities but operates upon the way of what we have called squares and what we grasp you prefer to call doubling.
60.14 ▶ Questioner: Then is the large underwater pyramid off the Florida coast one of the balancing pyramids that Ra constructed or some other social memory complex and if so, which one?
Ra: I am Ra. That pyramid of which you speak was one whose construction was aided by sixth-density entities of a social memory complex working with Atlanteans prior to our working with the, as you call them, Egyptians.
62.17 ▶ Questioner: By creating as large a harvest as possible of negatively oriented entities from Earth, then, the social memory complex of the Orion group gains in strength. Am I correct in assuming this strength then is in the total strength of the complex, the pecking order remaining approximately the same, and those at the top gaining in strength with respect to the total strength of the social memory complex? Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. To the stronger go the greater shares of polarity.
11.16 ▶ Questioner: What do the crusaders do?
Ra: I am Ra. The crusaders move in their chariots to conquer planetary mind/body/spirit social complexes before they reach the stage of achieving social memory.
16.6 ▶ Questioner: Then this window balancing prevents the Guardians from reducing their positive polarization by totally eliminating the Orion contact through shielding. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is partially correct. In effect, the balancing allows an equal amount of positive and negative influx, this balanced by the mind/body/spirit distortions of the social complex. Thus in your particular planetary sphere, less negative, as you would call it, information or stimulus is necessary than positive due to the somewhat negative orientation of your social complex distortion.
45.11 ▶ Questioner: Can you tell me the purpose or philosophy behind the fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-density positive [bang outside] and negative social memory complexes? [Loud rapping at the door.]
Ra: I am Ra. [Bang outside.] The basic purpose [loud rapping] of a social memory complex is that of evolution. Beyond a certain point the evolution of spirit is quite dependent upon the understanding of self and other-self as Creator. This constitutes the basis for social complexes. When brought to maturity, they become social memory complexes. The fourth density and sixth density find these quite necessary. The fifth positive uses social memory [more rapping] in attaining wisdom, though this is done individually. In fifth negative much is done without aid of others. This is [doorbell in background] the last query as this instrument needs to be [doorbell in background] protected from depletion. Are there brief queries before [doorbell in background] we close?
47.2 ▶ Questioner: OK. The question that I was trying to ask at the end of the last session was: Of what value to evolution or experience in the Creator knowing himself are the positive and negative social memory complexes that form starting in fourth density, and why was this planned by the Logos?
Ra: I am Ra. There are inherent incorrectnesses in your query. However, we may answer the main point of it.
The incorrectness lies in the consideration that social memory complexes were planned by the Logos or sub-Logos. This is incorrect, as the unity of the Creator exists within the smallest portion of any material created by Love, much less in a self-aware being.
However, the distortion of free will causes the social memory complex to appear as a possibility at a certain stage of evolution of mind. The purpose, or consideration which causes entities to form such complexes, of these social memory complexes, is a very simple extension of the basic distortion towards the Creator's knowing of Itself, for when a group of mind/body/spirits become able to form a social memory complex, all experience of each entity is available to the whole of the complex. Thus the Creator knows more of Its creation in each entity partaking of this communion of entities.
8.18 ▶ Questioner: Was Charlie Hickson originally of the same social memory complex as the ones who picked him up?
Ra: I am Ra. This entity of vibratory sound complex did not have a connection with those who used him.
43.15 ▶ Questioner: Then is sixth-density harvest strictly of social memory complex because again we have compassion blended back using wisdom?
Ra: I am Ra. This is quite correct.
8.2 ▶ Questioner: There was a portion of the material yesterday which I will read where you say "there is a certain amount of landing taking place. Some of these landings are of your peoples; some are of the entities known to you as the group of Orion." My first question is what did you mean by the landings are of your peoples?
Ra: I am Ra. Your peoples have, at this time/space present, the technological achievement, if you would call it that, of being able to create and fly the shape and type of craft known to you as unidentified flying objects. Unfortunately for the social memory complex vibratory rate of your peoples, these devices are not intended for the service of mankind, but for potential destructive use. This further muddles the vibratory nexus of your social memory complex, causing a situation whereby neither those oriented towards serving others nor those oriented towards serving self can gain the energy/power which opens the gates to intelligent infinity for the social memory complex. This in turn causes the harvest to be small.
19.7 ▶ Questioner: Then the Confederation also aided in second density to third density transition. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. We must qualify correctness of this query. A portion of the Confederation which is not working with third density but finds its aid best used in other harvests— that is the second-density harvest— is responsible for aid in these harvests. The Confederation, as we have stated previously in these sessions, is composed of many of those in other densities, in your own density, within your planetary sphere, and within the inner or angelic realms. Each of those entities developing a mind/body/spirit complex, and then developing a social memory complex, and then dedicating this social memory complex to the singular service to the One Creator, may join the Confederation.
7.14 ▶ Questioner: I'll just ask about Orion. You mentioned Orion as a source of some of the contacts of UFOs. Can you tell me something of that contact, its purpose?
Ra: I am Ra. Consider, if you will, a simple example of intentions which are bad/good. This example is Adolf. This is your vibratory sound complex. The intention is to presumably unify by choosing the distortion complex called elite from a social memory complex and then enslaving, by various effects, those who are seen as the distortion of not-elite. There is then the concept of taking the social memory complex thus weeded and adding it to a distortion thought of by the so-called Orion group as an empire. The problem facing them is that they face a great deal of random energy released by the concept of separation. This causes them to be vulnerable as the distortions amongst their own members are not harmonized.
43.14 ▶ Questioner: Then the big difference in harvestability between third and fourth density is that at the end of the third density the individual is harvested as a function of individual violet ray, but in fourth density, is it the equivalent of violet-ray then for the entire social memory complex that must be of a harvestable nature to go to fifth density?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct although in fifth density entities may choose to learn as a social memory complex or as mind/body/spirit complexes and may graduate to sixth density under these conditions, for the wisdom density is an extremely free density whereas the lessons of compassion leading to wisdom necessarily have to do with other-selves.
52.3 ▶ Questioner: I would ask this question in order to understand the mental disciplines and how they evolve. Do fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-density positive or service-to-others orientation social memory complexes use both the slingshot and the personality discipline type of effect for travel or do they use only one?
Ra: I am Ra. The positively oriented social memory complex will be attempting to learn the disciplines of mind, body, and spirit. However, there are some which, having the technology available to use intelligent energy forces to accomplish travel, do so while learning the more appropriate disciplines.
7.8 ▶ Questioner: At what point would this calling be enough for you to openly come among the people on Earth? How many entities on Earth would have to call the Confederation?
Ra: I am Ra. We do not calculate the possibility of coming among your peoples by the numbers of calling, but by a consensus among an entire societal-memory complex which has become aware of the infinite consciousness of all things. This has been possible among your peoples only in isolated instances.
In the case wherein a social memory complex which is servant of the Creator sees this situation and has an idea for the appropriate aid which can only be done among your peoples, the social memory complex desiring this project lays it before the Council of Saturn. If it is approved, quarantine is lifted.
81.27 ▶ Questioner: Does Ra have knowledge of, say, any other major galaxy or the consciousness or anything in that galaxy?
Ra: I am Ra. We assume you are speaking of the possibility of knowledge of other major galaxies. There are Wanderers from other major galaxies drawn to the specific needs of a single call. There are those among our social memory complex which have become Wanderers in other major galaxies. Thus there has been knowledge of other major galaxies, for to one whose personality or mind/body/spirit complex has been crystallized the universe is one place and there is no bar upon travel. However, our interpretation of your query was a query concerning the social memory complex traveling to another major galaxy. We have not done this, nor do we contemplate it, for we can reach in love with our hearts.
10.7 ▶ Questioner: When Maldek was destroyed, did all people of Maldek have the problem or were some advanced enough to transfer to other planets?
Ra: I am Ra. In the occurrence of planetary dissolution none escaped, for this is an action which redounds to the social complex of the planetary complex itself. None escaped the knot or tangle.
3.11 ▶ Questioner: Was the pyramid then built by the mutual action of many of your people?
Ra: I am Ra. The pyramids which we thought/built were constructed from thought-forms created by our social memory complex.
78.23 ▶ Questioner: After third density, in our experience, social memory complexes are polarized positively and negatively. Is the interaction between social memory complexes of opposite polarity equivalent, but on a magnified scale, to the interaction between mind/body/spirit complexes of opposite polarity? Is this how experience is gained as a function of polarity difference at the fourth and fifth densities?
Ra: I am Ra. No.
17.13 ▶ Questioner: When I am communicating with you as Ra, are you at times [an] individualized entity or am I speaking to the entire complex?
Ra: I am Ra. You speak with Ra. There is no separation. You would call it a social memory complex thus indicating many-ness. To our understanding, you are speaking to an individualized portion of consciousness.
16.32 ▶ Questioner: Thank you very much. Can you tell me how the Confederation of Planets was formed and why?
Ra: I am Ra. The desire to serve begins, in the dimension of love or understanding, to be an overwhelming goal of the social memory complex. Thus, those percentiles of planetary entities, plus approximately four percent more of whose identity we cannot speak, found themselves long, long ago in your time seeking the same thing: service to others. The relationship between these entities as they entered an understanding of other beings, other planetary entities, and other concepts of service was to share and continue together these commonly held goals of service. Thus, each voluntarily placed the social memory complex data in what you may consider a central thought complex available to all. This then created a structure whereby each entity could work in its own service while calling upon any other understandings needed to enhance the service. This is the cause of the formation and the manner of the working of the Confederation.
60.25 ▶ Questioner: Am I to understand then that the Confederation entity needs communication equipment and craft to communicate with the third-density incarnate entity requesting the information?
Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. However, many of your peoples request the same basic information in enormous repetition, and for a social memory complex to speak ad infinitum about the need to meditate is a waste of the considerable abilities of such social memory complexes.
Thus some entities have had approved by the Council of Saturn the placement and maintenance of these message givers for those whose needs are simple, thus reserving the abilities of the Confederation members for those already meditating and absorbing information which are then ready for additional information.
38.6 ▶ Questioner: Is it possible for a third-density planet to form a social memory complex which operates in third density?
Ra: I am Ra. It is possible only in the latter or seventh portion of such a density when entities are harmoniously readying for graduation.
38.8 ▶ Questioner: I was wondering if that particular social memory complex from the Sirius star evolved from trees?
Ra: I am Ra. This approaches correctness. Those second-density vegetation forms which graduated into third density upon this planet bearing the name of Dog were close to the tree as you know it.
41.26 ▶ Questioner: This may be too long a question for this working, but I will ask it and if it is too long we can continue it at a later time. Could you tell me of the development of the social memory complex Ra, from its first beginnings and what catalyst it used to get to where it is now in activation of rays? Is this too long a question?
Ra: I am Ra. The question does not demand a long answer, for we who experienced the vibratory densities upon that planetary sphere which you call Venus were fortunate in being able to move in harmony with the planetary vibrations with an harmonious graduation to second, to third, and to fourth, and a greatly accelerated fourth-density experience.
We spent much time/space, if you will, in fifth density balancing the intense compassion we had gained in fourth density. The graduation again was harmonious and our social memory complex which had become most firmly cemented in fourth density remained of a very strong and helpful nature.
Our sixth-density work was also accelerated because of the harmony of our social memory complex so that we were able to set out as members of the Confederation to even more swiftly approach graduation to seventh density. Our harmony, however, has been a grievous source of naïveté as regards working with your planet. Is there a brief query before we leave this instrument?

Get the Look: Nicole Richie at the 2013 Golden Globes./
Makeup Artist Beau Nelson did the makeup for Nicole Richie for the 2013 Golden Globe Awards.
Beau let Nicole's embroidered pale blue Naeem Khan gown inspire her ethereal yet bold makeup look; metallic pale blue eye shadow and navy eyeliner, a bronzed glow and nudish/pink lips. Nelson wanted Richie's makeup to reflect her style evolution - opting for a mature, retro glamour with bold color that is echoed in her own fashion and accessories lines. Beau described Nicole as having the personality and the look to "never let the makeup wear her." All makeup was from Elizabeth Arden.
Step 1: Prep the face with Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Optimizing Skin Serum ($49.50) and lips with Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant ($19.50) to allow for a more even makeup application
Step 2: Apply Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup in Toasty Beige ($36.50) on the face and under the eyes and tap in with the fingers to create a more natural, air-brushed look
Step 3: Dab the Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Brow Shaper & Eyeliner in Soft Blonde ($22) in the eyebrows to add subtle definition and in the crease of the eye to add depth
Step 4: Apply the Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Eye Shadow Single in Sky ($18.50) over the eyelid with a flat eye shadow brush; press into the eyelid to get the boldest blue color and max coverage
Step 5: Compliment the blue shadow with the Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Smoky Eyes Pencil in Midnight ($18) to line top and bottom lash lines; smudge slightly
Step 6: Curl lashes and apply two coats of Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Maximum Volume Black Mascara ($19.50). Saturate the base of the lashes with the most color to allow the ends to be feathery and natural looking.
Step 7: Sweep Elizabeth Arden Color Intrigue Bronzing Powder Duo ($34) over the face in a "reverse 3" motion – start at the forehead, move to the bottom of the cheekbone and down toward the jawline. Use a smaller brush to dab the Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Cream Blush in Nectar ($24) slightly under the cheekbone and blend outwards.
Step 8: Apply the Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Ultra Lipstick in Cameo ($22.50) with the fingers; dab for a natural, full-lipped look.
Here's how Suave Professionals® Stylist, Jenny Cho, created Nicole Richie's red carpet hair:
1. Wash hair with New Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Shine Shampoo and Conditioner, and then blow dry hair using a large paddle brush.
2. Part hair on the side and begin curling with a one-inch barrel curling iron. Be sure to hold the curling barrel horizontal to the head.
3. After curling each section, use bobby pins to hold in place.
4. Blast hair all over with a hot dryer for 1-2 minutes to help set the curls.
5. Remove the bobby pins, lightly brush the hair to soften curls and finish with Suave Professionals® Touchable Finish Super Hold Hairspray.
6. Place 1-2 drops of the New Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil in palms and rub hands together. Avoiding the roots, gently run hands over the surface of the hair to add a radiant shine.
7. Place the Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil in your clutch for touchups on the go.

L'Oreal Color Riche Anti-Aging Serum Lipstick Review, Photos, Swatches (Part 2)
L'Oreal Color Riche Anti-Aging Serum Lipstick: Robust Raisin, Captivating Copper, Naturally Nude
L'Oreal Color Riche Anti-Aging Serum Lipstick ($9.99) is a newly released lipstick formula from L'Oreal — similar to the orignial Color Riche line, but with an Anti-Aging Serum core. If you notice, there's a small teardrop of "Anti-Aging Serum" that runs through the middle of the lipstick. These are designed to help improve the look of lips, including minimizing fine lines. The way the product does this is mostly by acting as a lip plumping lipstick thereby minimizing any lines.
This post features four shades:
- Robust Raisin (#706) is a browned-down raspberry-wine shade with more of a glossy sheen than a frosty finish as is common with many of the other shades in this line.
- Captivating Copper (#802) is a sheer brownish-nude that goes on glossy and doesn't appear copper to me whatsoever on lips.
- Naturally Nude (#803) is a coralish nude that goes on semi-sheer but still opaque enough to deliver color on my lips once applied. It has a slightly glossy sheen that also has a frost finish.
As in part one, these are lightly creamy, semi-glossy/frosty in finish (depends on the shade), and they can be sheer to semi-opaque in color pay off. The same two issues apply as well: packaging feels cheap (just give me plastic, don't try to psyche me out!) and the scent is a bad mix of lipstick and stale perfume.
Again, I know some dislike lip plumping products, so I'd recommend checking out the original Color Riche line if that describes you. There's a slight tingle, but it disappears quickly and isn't painful (as far as lip plumpers go). I think these are a good buy when you can catch 'em on sale — otherwise $9.99 a pop is more than I'd spend at the drugstore.
- Product: 7/10
- Value: 7/10
- Ease of Use: 8/10
- Packaging: 5/10
Recommendation: If you're on a budget and are looking for non-drying lipsticks that give you decent color, L'Oreal's new Color Riche Anti-Aging Serum Lipsticks are a good choice!

A watered-down curb on problem gambling looks set to finally pass federal parliament after the pokies lobby stepped up pressure for last minute concessions to delay the compliance time frame.
The Senate is expected to pass legislation late on Thursday, requiring all pokies to be compatible with a pre-commitment system and display electronic warnings about the dangers of gambling.
Under the plan, ATM cash withdrawals will be restricted to $250 at gaming venues, apart from casinos.
The proposed measures cleared their first parliamentary hurdle in the lower house on Thursday, after the federal government was forced to accept a series of last-minute amendments from independent MPs Tony Windsor and Craig Thomson.
The changes give clubs an extra two years to install the pre-commitment technology so the first venues won't have to switch it on until 2018.
Independent MP Andrew Wilkie declared the legislation package a victory against the pokies lobby and their "$40 million campaign" despite the "regrettable" delays.
"The end state they were hoping for was to kill the bill," he told reporters in Canberra.
He said it was an historic day and set an important precedent in federal intervention on gambling.
It was ironic the legislation would pass parliament on the one year anniversary since Labor lured Liberal turncoat Peter Slipper to the speaker's chair, which diminished the importance of Mr Wilkie's vote in parliament, Mr Wilkie said.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard subsequently reneged on her deal with Mr Wilkie to roll out mandatory precommitment technology nationally by 2014.
Australian Greens MP Adam Bandt, who supported the measures, said "vultures" from the gaming industry had been lobbying federal politicians in a last-minute attempt to scuttle planned gambling reforms.
Another independent MP, Rob Oakeshott, said the measures were hardly "some socialist lefty agenda".
"I can only find one sound reason for voting against this legislation, and that is fear ... of the power and the influence of vested interests," he said.
Former Labor MP-turned independent Mr Thomson said it was a difficult balancing act protecting problem gamblers and "making sure clubs and hotels don't go broke as a result".
Clubs Australia boss Anthony Ball hailed the deadline extension for clubs.
"The extension will go a long way to ensuring the majority of clubs are able to continue operating their poker machines without being in breach of the law through no deliberate fault of their own," he said in a statement.

I've always loved martial arts films, perhaps because I grew up when Bruce Lee was all the rage. Having seen him on TV in THE GREEN HORNET and then in a theater with the greatest martial arts film of all time, ENTER THE DRAGON, I was hooked. It wasn't until later that I had the chance to see a film genre similar to this, the samurai film. Made popular by director Akira Kurosawa, the films were similar in that they came from an Asian country and featured action figures prone to skilled violence. But samurai films offered something else.
Instead of the usual high leaps, swinging arms and 2x4 slapping sound effects, they offered deeper stories. Two in particular caught the eyes of other directors who turned them into westerns. THE SEVEN SAMURAI was westernized into THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN and YOJIMBO became A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS. These then inspired people to seek out the originals and they weren't disappointed.
From time to time more samurai films have been released, but rarely with the anticipation of Takashi Miike's 13 ASSASSINS. The director noted for his extreme films like AUDITION and ICHI THE KILLER could have gone the usual route his films do featuring buckets of blood but instead he made a more classic samurai film and it is simply amazing.
The story takes place around 1844 and revolves around a group of assassins who have determined that to save their country they must remove the heir apparent to the current Shogun. Lord Naritsugo is a cruel ruler who finds entertainment in the thing he does to his people. Be it killing a family one at a time in front of the others (including children) or slicing the limbs from a young woman, keeping her alive and then sexually abusing her when it suits him, this man feels it is his responsibility to keep his people in line by making sure they are always put in their place on the social scale.
A member of the Shogun's staff knows something must be done but due to the way things are done can do nothing on his own. Instead he imposes on Shinzaemon Shimada to handle the situation for him. A samurai of the highest order, Shinzaemon knows what must be done and after seeing the after effects of what Naritsugo has done, elects to assassinate him. But it will require the help of a few trusted men to aid him.
There is little action in the film at the start. Shinzaemon takes his time assembling the men who will help him. Each has a reason for accompanying him on this task be it boredom in a world where samurai have little cause to find battle or to make money. In the end, each of them follows the way of the warrior, of honor, and takes on the cause of saving their country.
There is plenty of story to this film. The build up of Shinzaemon's team is part of it but there is also the political intrigue that goes on behind the scenes as well. Losing face is an important part of the way things happened then, thus Shinzaemon's being brought in to begin with. Then there is the situation that arises when it is learned that the leader of the guard protecting Naritsugo is Hanbei Kitou, an old rival who has always thought that Shinzaemon was the reason he was a step down on the social scale. These two warriors plot against one another, one on the attack the other protecting an evil man, and in the end only one can win.
All the build up takes time but the payoff is amazing to see. The last 50 minutes of the film is non-stop action. Shinzaemon must stop Naritsugo from reaching the Akashi domain or all is lost. He diverts him to a town he has taken over and turned into a death trap. Expecting Naritsugo and a company of perhaps 75 men, he learns too late that there is more like 300. But that doesn't prevent him or the other 12 men from following the duty they have sworn to follow. The result is a sword swinging, blood flowing, explosive rending battle that leaves few standing by the end of the film.
The thing about samurai films is that there may be blood and violence involved, but they aren't just tossed in for effect. These men truly believed in honor and a way of doing things, they did follow their conscience and stood for something. The battle with a blade was not one that involved going back and forth so much as seeking a finish with as few moves as possible. There was a beauty to it.
Miike has done it again, surprising many who thought his film career had reached its high point. Instead he gives us a movie that shows there is still potential in all that he does. The acting is wonderful even if it offers little visible emotion. That was the way of the samurai, not to show fear or emotion. And yet there are subtle signs visible in the way these actors play their parts.
In the end you have an amazingly satisfying film. One that tells a story, that offers plenty of action and that entertains on so many levels. 13 ASSASSINS is not a film that you'll toss aside once it finishes. This is a movie to set on the shelf and come back to from time to time, enjoying each viewing.

You look good in those shorts
1. "You are fast" (no comparisons or specifications, just straight-out)
2. "You're so talented"
3. "I can't believe that you could run that fast" (okay, now I'm getting silly)
4. "Nice technique"
5. "Nice genes"
6. "Nice jeans"
7. "You've really improved"
8. "You look really happy"
9. "You've got a nice ass!"
Well, if it's just a superficial conversation a "you are fast" is always nice, albeit meaningless. I have for a long time had a dream of running a race in jeans, so I would hope to get #6 in the event that does occur. But honestly, of all of them, I'd take #9. I mean, come on, I can't be the only person who hopes that their ass looks impressive as they pass someone in a race. So I'm not sure if that says more about how important it is to feel one has a nice ass or how hard it is to find a compliment for a runner. Except for one, which is my favorite and which I didn't mention but will return to in a moment.
Sandhya asked how I have gotten to the point of running such fast mile intervals. Well, as many of you are aware of, my answers are rarely simple. First of all, I believe that inside of every human (who is capable of running) is a fast runner. Everyone for a moment, please, forget the idea of genetics and realize that if you want to run fast at short or long distances that you can. The question is how hard or easy it is for each of us to access this fast person. And no, I don't think I've accessed my true fast potential yet, but I am getting closer.
We all have different starting points on that day we call ourselves "a runner". And no, I am not talking about "talent" or "genes", I am talking about general physical condition as a result of previous exercise, weight and self-confidence. All of these play an enormous roll when one becomes "a runner" in comparison to anything written in our chromosomes. I will just go out on a limb here and say that anyone who is considered to be an extremely talented runner as an adult has run (or practiced some endurance sport at a high level) since childhood. I challenge any of you to find an exception to this. Classically people who think they will never be a fast runner because that is just they way they are built/made/created are people who did not have regular exercise in childhood and young adulthood and take running up after age 25 to get in shape. These people have a lot of ground to make up. And yes, it will take years (but they can of course get there)! How can I convince everyone that all talk about genetics, supplements, high-protein other fad diets, gear, etc. is all meaningless in comparison to being at a light weight and in excellent cardiovascular condition? (not that genetics and gear should generally be categorized together)
Now back to the question. So, before I started doing any sort of speedwork, I had already run a 5k in 19:20, a 10k in 42:40 and an 80k in under 9 hours. And to get to this point it took years and years of pushing myself in running and other sports. But then it was weird. Last fall I started getting slower. And I had a huge crisis. But I identified two people who I thought were such amazing and inspirational runners: May-Britt and Mette. SR thinks I am jealous of them. But I assure you, my feelings are much more constructive than this. When I see them run, I think to myself, "that is how I want to run" and I believe I can. The biggest hurdle after getting in good physical condition and believing one can be fast is finding a training program. And this was all new to me this past fall. It is SR's training program I have been following consisting of 3 key runs a week: intervals, 1 tempo and a relatively fast long run. All other running is junk and should be decreased (in all of my restlessness I've become much better at swimming, cycling and yoga).
When I started running intervals, I could not for the life of me get myself to even complete 6 x 1 mile. I would do 2 miles in just over 7 minutes each and be toast. So part of getting to the point of doing consistently fast intervals has been learning to control myself to the point where I can make it through all 6 with a consistently fast effort. Once I got to that point, I averaged around 7:25 per mile. Since that time, I have just gradually gotten faster and faster. And am now at a 6:40 average.
So now, back to the greatest compliment one can pay a runner, well, it must be "you inspire me". Why do I always get so sappy? Anyway, thank you Olga, Meghan Hicks, Helen Lavin, Piccola Pinecone, Mette, May-Britt and most of all my husband SR. You guys have inspired me!

Thank you so much for this impassioned and informative answer. I should have said earlier that I am certainly inspired by your example and by your consistent emphasis on hard work as the real key to success -- so many thanks for being so open about your own journey.

"Nice ass" would be on top of my list. I remember getting it first time at Jan 2 2005 during FA50k in WA, 2 days after another FA50k in OR. I was in my best shape and followed by a very good endurance athlete (as in "many sports") who is NOT an American born (re: your own pointer). He said something to the extent "Whoa, a female runner with a female shape, finally!". What actually has nothing to do with nice ass in your opinion, most likely, but surely makes me smile when I do pass a skinny gal:)
- 13 May 2010 at 21:50
I enjoyed this post and would have enjoyed it even more several years ago, when I still had the ability to improve. You didn't mention aging, the great equalizer. Granted, some "old" people still run fast, but they don't run as fast as they used to. If they did, Joan Samuelson would be an Olympian in 2012. Enjoy the upward curve, SLG!

I will tell you that as a guy, I have had that thought about many a female runner. But I wouldn't feel comfortable just blurting it out- I don't want to get a rep for being creepy! I've said it to female running friends, but only to good friends, and only when it seemed reasonable in the context. I think as guys, we've been led to be quiet about our thoughts so that we don't offend you, creep you out, or make you feel objectified.
But if any of you female runners see me on the trail, and want to tell me that I have a nice ass, I promise not to be offended!
- 14 May 2010 at 02:12
My comment above is edited to add this: Every time I hear one of the songs from the CD you sent, I am inspired by you, truly.

Sea Legs,
You have a pure joy for running that goes far beyond times on watches and distances traveled, and that inspires me! So, back at you! :)

Ah... I still remember the day about a week after I got two lines on that little pee stick when I googled "pregnancy, running" and found your blog. Your blog reinforced my idea that running through pregnancy and gaining less than 25 pounds was okay and you inspired me to start writing again so... in the balance of things, it is I who thank you!
- 14 May 2010 at 08:50
- May-Britt Hansen said...
You want to run like me??? Well, that would be a setback, for someone running as fast as you!
But thank you for the nicest words I can hear as a runner. To inspire others is a way of giving back to the sport that have given me so much in such a short time :-)
I´ll be looking for you in Copenhagen, cheering you on for a PR. I´ll be standing with Jesper Olsen on Trianglen which you´ll pass 3 times.

Olga, I had to laugh when I read your comment. A great compliment that came out without sounding creepy.
Now if another guy told me "nice ass", followed by "they just don't make running shorts like they did in the 70s", that would be creepy.

Hey, my pleasure, Sandhya!
Now all of my heroes have commented except Mette, who doesn't know this blog exists oh and Helen. Well, she'll come around at some point. I am just so blessed. But enough sappiness.
Olga, you do have a nice ass, which became apparent to me as I saw you running quickly away from me at the aid station at Hells Hills. I unfortunately look like a guy from the back. This became more apparent than ever when SR was trying to race who he thought was a teenage boy ahead of him the other day, who turned out to be me.
Thanks for the warning, Marilyn :). I think female running peaks just before menopause, honestly, barring some injury or specific health problem, but I will find out for myself soon enough. Glad you like the songs!
Captain Hairdo, How delightful to hear from you. You are more than welcome to compliment my ass at any race. Now, I don't know where you live, but you never know... And perhaps I will have to randomly start complimenting men on their asses, hoping that one of them will be the non-offended you :).
Oh, Meghan, great comment!
Piccola, no no no. I thank YOU!!! :) So there.
May-Britt, let me put it this way. When I think of being a good runner, I think mostly of long-distances. A young girl beating me at the 100 meter dash wouldn't mean much to me. The two of us are interesting, though, we become even somewhere around the marathon distance. You (much) better at longer, me at shorter. And now the pressure is on for me! I hope hope hope to get a time close to your PR next Sunday. I will look for both of you at Trianglen. Speaking of inspirational, Jesper Olsen is exactly that (for the readers who don't know he is the runner who just ran all the way around the world and wrote a book about it!).
F Bastard, thank you for the ultimate compliment in blogging: a comment from you.
- 14 May 2010 at 13:23
- SteveQ said...
Okay, so I don't inspire you, but haunt the crypts where they keep old music. I'll take that.
Personally, the best compliment I ever got in running was, "Before you did that, I thought it was impossible. I still think it's impossible." Favorite blog comment remains "I always read your blog first. It links to the ones I like."

Why nice ass? What about legs?
I had this conversation last week:
Our men's volleyball captain said to our women's captain who complained about how her legs hurt that she should not do weights when her legs are too tired and at the end he said "il faut pas avoir les jambes comme Monika" (which basically means that if you do those weights you will have legs like Monika and you certainly do not want that"). Hm...what exactly did he mean by that? I asked him and he responded: "Hm,,, I did not meant anything,hm,,, I meant your injured knee, not your legs, hm,,,I think you have beautiful runner's legs,hm,,,". I decided not to think about that and just take it as a compliment.
- 14 May 2010 at 21:52
- sea legs girl said...
Steve Q, It's not that you don't inspire me at all, but if I started trying to run like you in a race, it might end up in tragic injury... Speaking of which, hope the race went well yesterday :). Oh, and you DO inspire me with your humorous writing. Though it's much easier to become fast by inspiration than funny.
Mmmonyka, just remember, no one would ever make fun of your legs if they really were bad-looking! It was probably more like, let's give the one with the good legs a hard time :). But oh yeah, a legs compliment is also a compliment I'd glady accept.

- 4. The Impact of Coal Restrictions on the Navajo Nation: Sen. Carlyle Begay
In announcing his recent decision to change from the Democrat to the Republican Party, Arizona Senator Carlyle Begay spoke of unemployment rates as high as 80% in his district. He also stated that future progress in Arizona has to include partnerships with rural and tribal communities. It is the Republican party that has embraced these crucial partnerships, which are the cornerstone of the future of our state.
As a rural Arizonan living in Gila County, I understand some of the concerns that we share. Rural and tribal Arizonans live in and of the land. We are sustained by it. We respect and love it. Rural Arizona offers rich natural resources that have fed, clothed, sheltered, and provided energy and water to millions of people.
The Democrat Party has waged war on our livestock, timber, and coal industries, the very industries that sustain Arizona's rural and tribal communities.
Back in July 2015, then Democrat Senator Carlyle Begay spoke at the Heartland Institute's International Conferences on Climate Change.

- 5. Arizona Sen. Carlyle Begay: "We Must See Ourselves in a Whole New Light"
As noted in a November 24 news article, Senator Carlyle Begay has recently changed from the Democrat to Republican Party. I have never met Sen. Begay, but I've observed him and heard his remarks during the last legislative session. He is a highly intelligent, thoughtful, well-educated man. Both Democrats and Republicans can politicize his decision all they want, but I know that he will be guided by his convictions, not politics, whenever he casts his votes. The welfare of his constituents, many of whose ancestors were the First Arizonans, will rank far above either party. He believes that the time has come for his people to achieve prosperity. In fact, he wants all Arizonans to prosper. Please watch this video. Notice the many terms and phrases that he uses. This is what the Republican Party stands for.
In the following video, you will gain some insight into why Senator Begay is adamant that "change must happen" and why he believes it is the Republican Party that is working to find solutions that will help the people that Sen. Begay represents. He explains that "families living within our rural and tribal communities are in a crisis. Unemployment is as high as 80%. Roads, bridges, and infrastructure are wasting away. Many Native American families are without electricity and clean, running water. Native American students have some of the lowest graduation rates and some of the highest drop-out rates. Native Americans have the highest rates of suicide in the country." Senator Begay desires to work within the Republican Party to build a bridge connecting those who need and want a chance with those who can help provide that chance.

Don't be fooled into believing that the BLM cares about a bunch of dusty, old tortoises that are supposedly endangered.
Think about it. In the name of the poor, dear tortoises, the BLM just spent millions of dollars to round up 300 of Cliven Bundy's "trespassing cattle." They managed to kill about 130 of them in the process. Why? Because, not only don't they care about a bunch of tortoises, they also don't care about a bunch of cows. Using their helicopters they ran many of them to death in 100-degree desert heat. Many of those cows were pregnant and weren't given veterinary care; many of the newborns that survived their births died from lack of nourishment and callous treatment; many cows were fat with milk, having been separated from their newborn calves. Each cow that died at the hands of the BLM thugs had a value of about $1500.
The BLM had enough money to pay thugs to intimidate, taser, and throw Americans to the ground. The BLM had enough money to hire cowboy mercenaries to help round up Cliven Bundy's cattle. The BLM had enough money to send over 80 brand new shiny trucks to Clark County. The had enough money to arm their thugs with helmet, body armor, and AR-15s.
Yet, the BLM didn't have enough money to feed the desert tortoises at the Desert Tortoise Conservation Center, so they euthanized them. See Desert Tortoise Conservation Center plan to Euthanize Hundreds of Tortoises in Nevada.
Put on your thinking cap. Does this make logical sense? Of course it doesn't! Because it isn't the truth.
In fact, the federal government doesn't care about any endangered species. If they did, they wouldn't allow the wholesale slaughter of every "endangered" critter that gets cooked by SOLAR and chopped up by WIND.
So, what do the federal government and their corporate cronies care about?Click here to read more
- 8. Obama's Energy Policy Destroys Jobs
By Andy McKinney
Internal stresses and conflicts in an organization can be just as fatally detrimental as outside attacks. We see these internal contradictions in the Obama administration causing serious damage to Americans . The administration cries out for job creation and energy independence but, as we shall see, thwarts the creation of both by deliberate, if badly misguided, policy.
Environmental Extremists Stop Domestic Oil Production
Off the coast of Alaska in the Chukchi Sea, oil companies have successfully bid on the right to drill for oil. They have paid their money and are ready to begin drilling. The environmental industry has sued to delay the exploratory drilling on the usual basis. Please note that the whole lease bidding process has been completed. The time for debate has ended. The arguments have been heard from all sides, and the lease sale has proceeded to its conclusion. No one was denied his opinion at the proper time. The arguments are over. But that is not good enough for the enviro-extremists. Their goal is to cause as much delay, disruption, and expense to the drillers (and at the end of the day to you and me) as is humanly possible.
What would happen to you if you paid for a new transmission for your car and then were not allowed to have the transmission installed? You would have spent money to no good purpose. The money that should have gone to the repair might have gone to some other good purpose but is instead tied up in limbo, doing nothing. Multiply this by every project connected with energy, every road project, every building project, and so on across the country and you begin to sense the scale of waste of our financial resources in our country. It is as if money has no meaning, as if every dime of wealth we have does not come, in the end, from the sweat and inspiration of our citizens.Click here to read more

- 10. EPA's Secret Deals with Environmentalists: Sue and Settle
The EPA is under investigation for a practice called Sue and Settle. Environmentalists in government and private organizations have found ways to create new regulations by fashioning lawsuits tailored to have courts institute policy changes. Both parties involved in the lawsuits secretly decide in advance what the outcome will be and how much taxpayer money will be transferred to the environmental group in the settlement. In other words, they are exploiting the courts to change laws, and in the process, helping to fund radical environmental groups without legislative or taxpayer consent. Millions of taxpayer dollars have been given to these groups.

'very sturdy phone'
'This is truly appealing business-oriented cell phone that comes with compact size, but emanates reliability.'
'Nokia phones work just fine with inexpensive feature phone data plans on AT&T and T-Mobile (and other GSM carriers).'
'efficient phone'
'The Nokia N900 includes Skype and Google Talk clients integrated into the phone application and the messaging interface is excellent.'
'The smartphone will also be capable of video and audio playback, and offers up to 32GB of internal storage as well as a microSD memory slot capable of holding 16GB cards.'
'Its bulk combined with its black body gives the impression of a serious, serious phone and not one that will draw attention with flashy colors or cute design. '
'In short, this phone feels solid.'
'Nonetheless, if you require a smartphone for both professional and personal use (and don't mind a small screen), the Nokia E5 is an enticing proposition. '
'fine messaging E-series phone'
'This is probably the most comprehensive suite out there as the E5 could view, edit and create Excel, sheets, Word documents and PowerPoint presentations in the best possible way that you can do so on a mobile phone.'
'Best Budget Mobile Phone'
'But for £80, it'd almost be rude to ask for more – especially as it looks like a lower end BlackBerry and not really like a Nokia at all. '
'This classic looking, budget phone from Nokia is an amazing phone that was released in June 2010. '
'Even before I began to test the handset I was a little sceptical, but when it came to using the phone as my everyday handset I found no problems whatsoever which you can imagine I was very happy about!.'
' The Nokia X6 is a good-looking mobile phone with a capacitive touchscreen. '
'The phone sports an accelerometer for automatically switching from landscape to portrait when you rotate the phone and there is also a built-in speaker for listening to music or speakerphone. '
'the phone looks slightly boring, or to put it in other words, it failed to capture our imagination.'
'good looking phone'
'The phone's voice performance is superb; it feels fast; and it runs thousands of Symbian programs.'
'best looking slab QWERTY phone'
'best phone navigation applications'
'great phone'
'the phone felt great.'
'This is significantly more noticeable when opening the phone, and detracts from the phone's premium quality feel.'
'it has a front number pad and d-pad and can be used as a traditional phone, complete with T9-style text entry.'
'incredibly robust phone'
'most popular mobile service'
'The full suite of typical organizer type applications are available on the phone, though, and they all work well.'
'latest business phone'
'completely new mobile experiences'
'it's a bit awkward to hold and use as a phone since it has a wider body, like that of a PDA'
'Nokia has updated an already great handset from 3GSM in Barcelona today, announcing the new E61i.'
'added Wi-Fi support and slick redesign, it's a great choice for corporate mavens looking for lower-cost alternatives to the BlackBerry'
'highly successful mobile handset'
'The E90 is a great phone.'
'Teams is an application which makes it easy for you to conduct a conference conversation/send a message or use PushToTalk with a preset group of people differentiated as Team.'
'It seems that you are forever defining and redefining access points for WiFi connections,'

As I've been pondering a lot of crazy all-junkyard turbocharging project ideas lately (mostly centered around big Detroit six-bangers blowing through a Rube Goldberg nightmare of hoseclamps and leaky welds), it's natural that I might explore the Squires Turbo Systems concept of remote-mounted turbochargers. Interesting, yes, but seemingly more novelty than practical engineering. Then I remembered a remote-mount turbo vehicle that worked really well, perhaps the most maniacal turbocharged vehicle ever built. I speak of the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt fighter plane of World War II, an aircraft designed entirely around a monster 2000-horse turbo'd 18-cylinder radial engine and its associated pipes and ductwork. Hmmm... Pontiac Executive wagon with an octo-turbo Cadillac 500 and the entire rear half of the car devoted to very hot plumbing?

Picture: Led Zeppelin, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page Mojo Honours List held at the Brewery - Press Room London, England - 16.06.08
A previously unheard Led Zeppelin track is set to be released for the first time.
The song, titled La La, was recorded during studio sessions for 1969 album Led Zeppelin Ii, and was discovered among a treasure trove of unreleased recordings.
The song will be remastered and included on an upcoming re-release of the album, which will be reissued with a companion disc along with Led Zeppelin's other records.
Former bandmember Jimmy Page admits wading through vaults of unreleased material was a major challenge.
He says, "The material on the companion discs presents a portal to the time of the recording... It is a selection of work in progress with rough mixes, backing tracks, alternate versions, and new material recorded at the time."

According to the Kids and Consumer Electronics: 2012 Edition, the latest report from the NPD Group, portable and console video game systems continue to have the highest usage levels among kids ages 4 to 14, but media tablets experienced the highest increase in usage at 13 percent this year, versus only 3 percent last year.
Additionally, while usage of the more sophisticated devices such as computers and video game devices tend to increase as kids get older, tablet usage is highest among younger children, which highlights how important it is for manufacturers to make their devices easy to use. According to the report, households with kids ages 4 to 14 own an average of 10 different devices, with kids using an average of five of those devices.
Televisions, computers, and cell/smartphones continued to maintain the highest household ownership, while portable digital music players saw the largest drop in household ownership with just 35 percent owning these devices in 2012, compared to 48 percent last year. Household ownership of console and portable video game systems, media tablets, and digital video cameras experienced the most significant increases.
Portable video game systems are the most popular devices personally owned by kids ages 4 to 14, with 6 years of age being the average age of adoption; this is slightly younger than last year, when the average age was 6.4.

In an opinion piece in The New York Times, political science professor Séverine Autesserre urges support of local grassroots efforts to establish peace in Congo. An excerpt:
"Addressing the consequences of sexual violence and these other abuses is important, of course, but donors should do more to address their underlying causes. Most important, they should approach the resolution of conflicts in Congo from the bottom up. They should assist local groups — official authorities, NGOs and civil-society representatives — with the funding, logistical means and technical capacity necessary to implement narrowly tailored programs."

|TBTC Study 33. An Evaluation of Adherence to Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) Treatment With 12 Doses of Once Weekly Rifapentine (RPT) and Isoniazid (INH) Given as Self-administered (SAT) Versus Directly-observed Therapy (DOT): iAdhere.
|Brief Summary
The study is an open label, multicenter, randomized (three arms: DOT (standard control), SAT, SAT with SMS reminders) controlled clinical trial. The trial is conducted in patients diagnosed with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) who are recommended for treatment. The primary objective is to evaluate adherence to a three-month (12-dose) regimen of weekly rifapentine and isoniazid (3RPT/INH) given by directly observed therapy (DOT) compared to self-administered therapy (SAT). The secondary objectives:
|Detailed Description
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately 2.3 billion people are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Approximately 1.7 million people die of TB each year, the second most common infectious cause of death in the world. In order to improve TB control worldwide, an affordable, effective, short course treatment for latent TB infection (LTBI) is a global priority.
Candidates for LTBI treatment are those persons with a positive TST or IGRA, particularly if they also have risk factors for progressing to active TB, including individuals likely to be recently infected. The Prevent TB Study (TBTC Study 26) was an open-label, randomized, phase III controlled clinical trial with over 8,000 high risk TST reactors enrolled. The study compared rifapentine and INH (3RPT/INH) given once-weekly by directly observed treatment (DOT) for 3 months (12 doses) compared with 9 months of daily, self-administered INH. The results demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the shorter regimen. Moreover, the once weekly therapy had significantly higher treatment completion rates than the standard 9 INH regimen.
One of the most effective strategies for assuring adherence with therapy is to have each dose of medication directly administered by a health care worker who observes and records the ingestion of the drugs. DOT for active TB has been successfully used in many settings to improve treatment completion, however cost and logistical constraints of DOT remain. The estimated cost of giving 12 weekly DOT doses to all LTBI patients is likely prohibitive for TB control programs worldwide. This may lead to a decreased uptake of the new regimen or implementation using SAT where adherence has not been studied. Therefore, to apply the Prevent TB study results more broadly, a new study evaluating treatment completion of 3 RPT/INH given as SAT is conducted.
Medication adherence is defined by whether patients take a treatment as prescribed. The effectiveness of any treatment is determined largely by adherence. In clinical practice and research, indirect measures of adherence are commonly used. Indirect measures of adherence include patient self-report, evaluation of pharmacy dispensation records, pill counts, and the use of electronic prescription bottle monitors. Patient self-reported adherence is accurate when non-adherence is reported but tends to overestimate true adherence. Self-report is not discerning enough to be utilized as a sole measure of adherence in research settings where adherence is the primary outcome. Pill counts have been utilized successfully in research and clinical settings for real-time assessment but also tend to overestimate adherence. Electronic drug monitors such as the Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) are the best available tools to assess the timing and patterns of adherence. This study uses a combination of indirect measures including MEMS, pill counts, and self-report to provide the most accurate assessment of adherence to once weekly, self-administered RPT/INH.
The number of cellular phone users globally has increased dramatically in the last decade. Cell phones and SMS reminders have been used successfully in randomized controlled clinical trials to improve adherence to vaccines, HIV medications, and asthma treatment. SMS appear to be cost-effective ways to reach patients in remote locations. This study examines effect of SMS on medication adherence.
The goal of this open label clinical trial is to compare the adherence to 3RPT/INH given by DOT versus SAT or SAT with a weekly SMS reminder. The primary assessment of adherence will be treatment completion which is defined as taking at least 90% of the doses (11/12 doses of each drug) within 16 weeks of initiation. Secondary objectives include evaluating the patterns of adherence in participants who fail to complete, determining the feasibility and impact of using SMS reminders on treatment completion with SAT, evaluating the tolerability and any adverse events associated with each treatment arm, monitoring for the development of active TB, determining the drug susceptibility for participants who develop active TB, and measuring important patient-related expenditures associated with each study arm. The trial will be conducted in patients diagnosed with LTBI and recommended for treatment.

According to the "Order of Battle - August Offensive" on the Gallipoli Association website, the following British RFA units were present at Gallipoli in August 1915:-
1/1st. East Lancashire Brigade, RFA (4th., 5th. & 6th. Batteries)
1/3rd. East Lancashire Brigade, RFA (18th., 19th. & 20th. Batteries)
1/4th. East Lancashire (Howitzer) Brigade, RFA 1st., 2nd. & Cumberland Batteries)
1/2nd. Lowland Brigade, RFA
1/4th. Lowland (Howitzer) Brigade, RFA (1/4th. & 1/5th. City of Glasgow Batteries)
XVII Brigade, RFA (13th., 26th. & 92nd. Batteries)
LIV Brigade, RFA (A, B, C & D Batteries) DID NOT COME FURTHER THAN MUDROS
LV Brigade, RFA (A, B, C & D Batteries)
LVI Brigade, RFA (C & D Batteries) AT HELLES
LVII (Howitzer) Brigade, RFA (HQ with A & D Batteries)
LVIII Brigade, RFA (A, B, C & D Batteries)
LIX Brigade, RFA (A, B, C & D Batteries)
LXVI Brigade, RFA (A, B, C & D Batteries)
LXIX (Howitzer) Brigade, RFA (A, B, C & D Batteries) AT ANZAC
CXLVII Brigade, RFA (10th., 97th. & 368th. Batteries)
460th. (Howitzer) Battery RFA
Were there also Ammunition Columns present?
Am I correct in assuming no other RFA units arrived in Gallipoli in August or September, so my grandfather must have been a replacement/reinforcement for one of the above?

I have often wondered how long my grandfather would have stood on the beach wondering where to go after arriving on 27th. September 1915.
Battiscombe ( post 6 in 1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/245342-help-with-locations-and-units-of-a-rfa-soldier-please/ ) says "each RFA Brigade had a '1st reinforcement' in Base Detail/Detachment ...".
I believe there were in Gallipoli at that time 16 RFA Brigades (XVII, LV, LVI, LVII, LVIII, LIX, LX, LXVI, LXVII, LXVIII, LXIX, CXLVII, CXCIII, CCX, CCXII and CCLXIII) and four Divisional Artillery Columns (11th., 29th., 42nd. and 52nd.). Where were all these Base Details/Detachments? How did anybody know where to go?

A very good question and not straightforward to answer without researching each one. some divisions like 29th had their full compliment of artillery, but others like 53rd Welsh had no artillery.
This is an area for some serious research.

I am a C4/5 quadriplegic with no real strength for transferring/repositioning to speak of. Since my injury 14 years ago, I have only used a single caregiver for each shift. I do transfers with a slide board. In the power chair, I'm able to lean forward over my legs so that my caregiver can pull me back and centered in the seat using my pants.
In the shower chair, I typically teach another repositioning technique to my caregivers that was taught to me during rehab. The caregiver braces my knees with their thighs or hips, and I lean forward onto his/her shoulder. With his/her hands locked around the center of my back, he/she pivots my body forward to lift up my butt, and they shift me back/centered with their thighs/hips. I hope that makes sense. Does anyone else use this technique? Does it have a name?
I've never had much trouble with it, and I try to make sure that the caregivers have proper technique so as to not hurt their back. However, a new caregiver that I'm training is having trouble with it? She can't seem to lift my butt off the seat. My other caregivers and I have communicated everything about the technique, so I'm not sure if there is something that we are missing, or if my new caregiver isn't strong enough.
Is there a resource online that I can provide to her?

The problem that I have is this: I open pages into the editor with a listBox that is populated from a directory. When I first start the app and click on a file to open in the editor it works fine. When i try to open another file into the editor it does nothing.
This is my code:
private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { String file = listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString(); HTMLEditor.DocumentText = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(file); }
How would I reset the editor "if that is what i should do" to open another file after I have opened the first one?
