I was starting to feel a bit left out since everyone seems to be using lash serums and experiencing vast amounts of lash growth at the moment…
And then this sexy looking duo from M2 Beaute arrived in the post! This M2 Lashes duo consists of a serum and gloss which is supposed to increase length, volume and the condition of your lashes – and boy do I need it.
Used daily, this duo shows results after 6 – 8 weeks of usage, with maximum results achieved by week 16 (4 months darling, keep up).
The Eyelash Activating Serum contains Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Biotin (Vitamin B7), Hyaluronic Acid, Prodew 300 (absorbs and binds moisture) and more.
They say:
The key active complex *MDN? is a prostaglandin analogue, which in an alternative form has its use in ophthalmology. This modified and carefully dosed ingredient compound stimulates the eyelashes at their roots increasing the number of lashes, extending the eyelash growth phase and delaying the cycle of lash loss.
The serum is applied once only, ideally at night time to a clean eye across the top lid (like a liquid eyeliner).
The Eyelash Revitalizing Gloss contains Panthenol, Copper Tripeptide and Hydrolysed Collagen – it supports growth and adds shine and definition to the lashes.
This is used twice a day (morning and night – wait for it to dry before applying mascara in the morning).
I love the packaging…
A bit of cheap plastic this isn't. Both of the serums come in thick tubes that looks swish:
They look quite similar but there's writing on the front so you don't get confused…actually you cant' get confused because the applicators are decidedly different:
So this is week 1 of using this product. At the moment my lashes are frazzled from my lash perm (it's started to grow out).
I've had no irritation or all so far using these products, there's no scent and they're pretty easy to remember to use. I'm dedicated to the cause!
So here is the starting point. We will revisit in 2 weeks time and see if there's any different (but remember it takes at least 6 for there to be some results!)
Week 1: Lashes at the beginning
(Sorry my face is highly irritated this week – I have no make up on in these photos hence redness, blotchy skin etc.)
If you're wondering why my lashes look crinkly and face all directions – that is the downside of a lash perm kids! As it starts to grow out, the permed ones are still permed, the new ones point down so they need a good curl in the morning.
I don't want to re-perm them so soon – I'd rather wait til they're all straight again but you never know, I might not need to after using this serum!
So that's the before. Let's come back in a few weeks and see how it's going!
Lash Serum –
Lash Gloss –
Have you used a lash growth product? If so, which one and did it work?

Nick Foles fires shot in QB battle: 'I'm here to play'
- While some believe Michael Vick has the edge to be the Eagles%27 starter%2C Nick Foles says%2C %22There%27s no leader. There was never a lead.%22
- Rookie Matt Barkley is considered a long shot%2C but he says not to count him out
- Players%2C curious to see who wins the job%2C say they%27re caught up in the QB battle%2C too
PHILADELPHIA — The scrutiny began Tuesday, when the Philadelphia Eagles held their first practice of training camp and the quarterback competition began in earnest.
Rookies, selected veterans and the quarterbacks — 30 players in all — reported to the Eagles' training facility Monday. The rest of the 90-man roster will report Thursday, with the first full-squad practice Friday.
Until then, and even afterward, the focus will be on the quarterbacks.
Michael Vick and Nick Foles are considered the main participants, although rookie Matt Barkley said not to count him out. Foles and Barkley said they expect to win the job. Vick was not made available to reporters Monday.
"At the end of the day, I'm not here to be a backup," Foles said. "I'm here to be the guy. I don't think we play this game to sit on the bench. We play it to play, and I'm here to play."
GENO SIGNS:Will he be the Jets starter?
Vick, the 10-year veteran, and Foles, in his second season, split first-team snaps during the four organized team activities during the spring. Barkley, the Eagles' fourth-round draft pick, got all of his snaps with the third team during spring OTAs.
While many would consider Barkley the long shot, the former Southern California quarterback doesn't see it that way.
"I don't think it matters how I see it, other than you're in it," Barkley said. "That's all that matters. The coaches have said it's there. My mind-set is I'm in it, and I have to do everything to prove that it's mine."
NFL'S HGH STUDY:It's out for blood
It's the first time since 1997 that the Eagles have come into training camp with an open competition at quarterback. But that's the repercussion of a 4-12 season, after which coach Andy Reid was fired.
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said all of the quarterbacks understand the situation, despite Vick saying last month that he wanted Eagles coach Chip Kelly to name a starter before training camp started.
"Every conversation I've had … with Michael about competition, he's all for it," Roseman said. "He wants the best players to play and he's not shying away from competition in any aspect. He knew that when we signed him. He knew there was going to be competition at every spot, and he said nothing other than he wants to compete."
Quarterback is one of many positions up for grabs for the Eagles. But none of them will garner nearly as much attention as the quarterback battle. The players know this.
"The offensive players are just as excited about that competition as the press and the fans," center Jason Kelce said. "We can't wait to see who ends up taking that position. I'm excited to see who does the best job in training camp, the preseason games, and who's going to give us the best chance to win on Sundays."
Kelce realizes that could take some time to determine, and he and the rest of the linemen are prepared for a long, drawn-out battle that could last until the season opener Sept. 9 against the Washington Redskins.
"I would rather it takes as long as it needs to be taken," Kelce said. "I don't want a decision to be made because it has to be made. ... I want it to be clear who has played better, who has done a better job in the preseason, and who is going to give our team the best chance to win. Once that's been shown who that is, go ahead and name the starter."
Kelly said a starter couldn't be determined during spring OTAs because the players weren't in pads, the quarterbacks weren't allowed to be hit and defenders couldn't cover wide receivers in anything other than man-to-man.
That means the quarterbacks are starting training camp from the same spot.
"There's no leader," Foles said. "There was never a lead. That was the spring. That was an opportunity for the team to get better. I feel like I had a solid spring. I feel like there was a lot of stuff I needed to correct from the spring. I looked at it as a work in progress."

Provocative Danish director Lars von Trier has made the first intergalactic Dogma film, a sci-fi metaphor about depression. Kirsten Dunst, who was named best actress at Cannes, stars as an unhappy newlywed who's one of the witnesses to a blue planet that approaches Earth, threatening apocalypse. It's both beautiful and depressing.
Starring: Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Kiefer Sutherland
Rating: Three and a half stars out of five
Lars von Trier's Melancholia is the first intergalactic Dogma film, a movie with the structure of a classic disaster flick -- a deadly planet is headed toward Earth, bringing with it the apocalypse -- and the darkness of those unadorned Danish stories about unhappy people quietly, or sometimes noisily, hating one another.
It begins with one of those von Trier prologues in which poetically slowed-up images are played over dark, foreboding music, in this case, Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. This heralds a wedding that's almost as disastrous as the oncoming planet, one of the bits and pieces of the otherwise abandoned Dogma esthetic that von Trier has maintained. He is a co-inventor of the idea that movies should be filmed without special effects, extraneous lighting, tripods, or -- as it became apparent in the movement's brief life -- much fun. Weddings or other family gatherings were ideal places in which to express the dysfunction of the human family, and the one in Melancholia seems to be suffering from clinical depression itself.
Justine (Kirsten Dunst) has come to the vast estate of her unlikely sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg) -- the women not only don't look alike, but they have different accents -- and her wealthy husband John (Kiefer Sutherland). Justine and her groom (rising hunk Alexander Skarsgard) get there late and are subjected to a wonderfully acidic speech by Charlotte Rampling as the mother of the bride -- "Enjoy it while it lasts. I myself hate marriages" -- and a dawning panic in Justine's face that hints at something larger. She's lost, depressed, and unhappy, a wedding-day trifecta that lives up to the movie's opening image of Dunst looking bedraggled, wan, and like hell, frankly.
When she refuses to have sex with her husband on their wedding night and instead wanders off to mount a stranger in an adjoining golf course -- sex in the bunker, which appears to be about an eight-stroke penalty -- our suspicions are confirmed. Justine is smiling, but she can't get married because she's already wed to misery.
In Part 2, the focus shifts to something that was only alluded to in the first section. A large blue planet called Melancholia, which has been hiding behind the sun, is moving closer to Earth, a giant cosmic symbol of Justine's unhappiness and -- one suspects, knowing von Trier's dour view of human nature -- of life itself. John is a scientist who assures everyone that Melancholia will miss, but we know he's out of touch with the deeper blues of reality, because, at the wedding, he has said to Justine, "You better be goddamn happy. Do you have any idea how much this party cost me?"
Justine evokes that kind of reaction -- even her sister Claire says, "You're lying to all of us" -- but the bond between the women is the key link in Melancholia. Von Trier has been accused of misogyny, especially for the sexual violence of his 2009 film Antichrist, but here it's the scientific assurance of men like John, with their precious telescopes and sense of control, that is questionable.
"Melancholia's going to pass right in front of us and it's going to be the most beautiful sight ever," John says -- here's a man who has never seen a Lars von Trier film -- but the dark mood approaches with the inevitable beauty of the planet itself. The blue marble rises like a second moon, and in the shadow of doom, Justine becomes stronger, energized by the oncoming proof of her unhappiness. "The world is evil," she says, relaxing so far into the disaster that she takes off her clothes and poses naked under the blue moon. Apocalypse is a great time for pessimists, and Dunst gives an excoriating performance.
Gorgeously filmed, Melancholia is nevertheless a hermetic film about isolated people who don't even turn on a TV set (if they have one) to check on the coming disaster. They're alone and numb. Von Trier owes much to the esthetic of his cinematic hero, Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky, and Melancholia is a metaphysical exploration that is as much metaphor as adventure. It launches the dark dogs of depression into the heavens and welcomes them back as a planet of terrible loveliness, hurtling toward the Earth. Von Trier seems to relish the idea.

Jacques de Billy
Born: 18 March 1602 in Compiègne, France
Died: 14 January 1679 in Dijon, France
|Main Index
|Biographies index
Jacques de Billy entered the Jesuit order and studied theology at the Colleges of the Order. He was ordained a Jesuit. The Jesuit Order had been created about sixty years before de Billy was born and, from the very beginning, education and scholarship became the principal work of the Order. By the time Billy entered the Order it contained around 15,000 men.
Billy taught mathematics and theology at Jesuit colleges all his life, in particular those colleges which were in the administrative region of Champagne, a region which covered the present-day northeastern French districts of Marne and parts of Ardennes, Meuse, Haute-Marne, Aube, Yonne, Seine-et-Marne, and Aisne. From 1629 to 1630 he taught mathematics at the Jesuit College at Pont à Mousson, during this time he was still studying theology.
From 1631 to 1633 Billy taught mathematics at the Jesuit college at Rheims. He became a close friend of Bachet, who was one of his pupils at Rheims. After this Billy taught in Grenoble and then was rector of a number of Jesuit Colleges in Chalons, Langres and in Sens. From 1665 to 1668 he was professor of mathematics at the College of Dijon. One of his pupils in Dijon was Ozanam but this was before he was appointed to the chair of mathematics so, since there were no formal mathematics classes at the College, he taught Ozanam privately.
Billy corresponded with Fermat and produced a number of results in number theory which have been named after him. Billy had collected many problems from Fermat's letters and, after the death of his father, Fermat's son appended de Billy's collection under the title Doctrinae analyticae inventum novum Ⓣ as an annex to his edition of the Arithmetica of Diophantus (1670). Itard writes in [1]:-
It is an elaborate study of the techniques of indeterminate analysis used by Fermat and, on the whole, it explains them correctly. From it one can guess at Fermat's general line of activity in a field in which there are few pertinent documents.He also published astronomical tables such as Tabulae Lodoicaeae seu universa eclipseon doctrina tabulis, praeceptis ac demonstrationibus explicata. Adiectus est calculus, aliquot eclipseon solis & lunae, quae proxime per totam Europam videbuntur Ⓣ. This was a table of eclipses for the years 1656 to 1693 and included solar and lunar tables. Billy is also important in being one of the first to reject the role of astrology in science, along with superstitious notions about the malevolent influence of comets.
Among Billy's most important works are: Abrégé des préceptes d'algèbre Ⓣ (1637); Nova geometricae clavis algebra Ⓣ (1643); Tractatus de proportione harmonicae Ⓣ (1658); and Diophantus geometria sive opus contextum ex arithmetica et geometria simul Ⓣ (1660).

Practice Overview
"Your teeth should outlive you" is one of my dental philosophies that is spoken almost daily in my practice. My goal is to reduce my patient's dental risk so that they do not need more invasive dentistry.
Today's trend in Cosmetic Dentistry does not recognize the ultimate value of preserving a patient's natural tooth structure. The creation of a beautiful smile should not include grinding away healthy tooth structure in order to change tooth color, position, size, or shape. Utilizing the expertise of dental specialists such as periodontists and orthodontists in some treatment plans may yield a more functional as well as aesthetically pleasing result.
My patients, who have complex needs, have their treatment plans discussed and coordinated with a team of specialists with whom I consult on a regular basis. Every patient in my practice is evaluated for risk factors that may cause them to prematurely lose teeth or tooth structure. Dentistry should not only look great, but be functional and comfortable.

The surface of my FW devices seems to have gotten dirty over the months. I've never cleaned it, merely wiping the dust off at intervals.
I've seen postings about U.S. cleaning products (Lysol), but I'm wondering if anybody can point me to products in Europe? Specifically in Austria, but that's not a must.

To extend the life of your KraftMaid Cabinetry, please download the Full Care and Cleaning Guide.
Care & Cleaning Guides
We now have two versions of our Care and Cleaning Guide. Which one you need depends on when you received your cabinets.
Our Most Recent Guide
If you received your cabinets AFTER March 1, 2014,
please use this guide.
Our Previous Guide
If you received your cabinets PRIOR to March 1, 2014,
please use this guide.
KraftMaid designs much of its cabinetry to be adjustable by you, the customer. Over years of normal use, some screws and hinges may need to be tightened, or drawers and runners adjusted for peak performance.
Hinge Adjustments
We construct our cabinetry with several types of durable, high-performance hinges that will operate smoothly and silently for years. Periodically, you should tighten hinge screws, because they can loosen over time with normal use.
Drawer Front Adjustments
Wood Drawer Box
If a drawer front looks crooked, first measure at each end of the drawer front to see if the height is the same. If not, slightly push the adjustment tab on the lower side towards the back of the drawer. To move a drawer front forward or back, you can rotate the tilt adjustment dial on the rear of each drawer to tilt the top of the drawer front forward. Rotate counterclockwise to raise back of door. Note: This adjustment can only be made PRIOR to installing decorative hardware (handles or knobs).
Metal Drawer Box
Again, first measure at each end of the drawer front to see if the height is the same. If not, remove cover plate on the inside of the metal drawer box. Inside will be two screws, one for up and down adjustment and the other for adjusting the drawer front right to left.
Drawer Runner Adjustments
We construct our cabinetry using several types of self-adjusting drawer suspension systems. The drawer function and, in some cases, the options chosen by the purchaser determine the runner type used.
- Sidemount runners (used only on roll-out trays and desk knee drawer cabinets)
- Full-extension undermount runners with buffer system
- Full-extension sidemount runners (used on drawer storage, desk double fle drawer and base pantry pull-out cabinets)
We equip sidemount runners with self-adjusting rear mounting clips. If roll-out trays rub or bind, remove the tray and check the position of the screws in the runner, as well as in the cabinet. You may need to retighten these screws to eliminate any interference or chafing.
Like sidemount runners, undermount runners come with self-adjusting rear mounting clips.
The ball-bearing-action undermount suspension system is galvanized. This precision runner also has self-adjusting rear mounting clips. One additional adjustment is possible with this system. To raise the drawer, simply move the orange lever on the front retainer clips back until the drawer is at the proper position. This is located on the underside of the drawer. To lower the drawer, move the gray levers forward until achieving the appropriate position.
Accessory Adjustments
We offer one of the most comprehensive line of storage solutions available. With more than 200 intelligent, attractive options, you're sure to find everything you need - and a place for everything you have. After installation, you may need to make a few final adjustments.
Low-Voltage Lighting Bulb Replacement
Whether used to highlight collectibles or to illuminate a countertop, our low-voltage lighting is an excellent and economical lighting source. To replace a bulb, make sure you turn it off and allow the bulb to cool completely. Remove the plastic lens ring by turning it slightly and pulling downward. Firmly grasp the miniature xenon bulb and pull it from the base in a horizontal motion. Oil from the skin can cause premature bulb failure, so grasp the new bulb with a tissue and insert the bulb into the fixture base. Replace the lens ring. Installation is now complete. 10- or 20-watt (max.) halogen bulbs are suitable for replacements.
Talk to us
If you have any questions about how to clean or care for your cabinetry, please don't hesitate to contact us. Call our toll free consumer line at 1-888-562-7744, contact us on Facebook or Twitter, or use our convenient contact form to email us directly.

The Monticello Buckaroos boys varsity team is sporting a fresh coach with a recognizable face as well.
Rhett Maughan moves into the head coaching job after it was vacated by Jason Torgerson, who is assisting San Juan this year. Maughan began his coaching career with former Buckaroo head coach, Mark Hugentobler, now the coach at Manti, in 1994, the year the Bucks won their only state championship in basketball. Maughan coached the freshman team for four years under Hugentobler and then one year for Tony Esplin. He then moved over to coach the girls varsity for five years. Last year he assisted Torgerson with the boys.
Q: Tell us a little bit about your team this year.
A: My team works very hard and wants to work. We have worked them hard and never once have we had one kid complain. They have a lot of determination and love to play basketball.
We are still young with only two seniors, 7 juniors, 5 sophomores, and 7 freshmen. Attitude and character have been a problem in the past and that will be our focus this year. They like to run and gun and most of the time that is good but they have a hard time with patience.
They are extremely competitive. They are very hard on themselves and when they make a mistake have a tendency to be too hard on themselves and start to get mad at themselves. Our goal is to have them always keep their heads up and to continue to work harder when they make mistakes.
Q: What experience do you have returning?
A: We lost two seniors last year and most of these kids had to play mostly varsity as sophomores and juniors. So we are young but most these kids have had varsity experience.
Q: What will be your team strength this year?
A: Strengths will be speed and quickness, determination, depth, and balance. They have played a lot of ball together and if I can get them to play together as a team they can be amazing. The key is to get them to all come together and have them figure out that "We" is greater than "I".
The JV will be young with a inexperienced sophomore class (only 2 out of 5 played last year) and a great freshman class which only lost one game last year.
Q: Who will be your go-to players?
A: I really don't have a go-to player. We will have to rely on a team with a good balance of scoring.
Q: Who are your top defensive and offensive players?
A: Like I said, they work amazingly well as a team and should be well balanced. Teams will not be able to just stop one player but will have to play good team defense with all players. Daniel Torres has been our top offensive player but his injured foot has slowed him down but still works hard. Joe Weatherford works hard on defense and will be tough to play against but will have to play the big man at only six feet tall.
Q: Who is ready to have a break-out, surprise everyone season?
A: I would say Dalton Rogers. He is big, strong, with amazing ability, but sometimes too passive and if we can build a fire under him he could be unstoppable.
Q: What kind of basketball will you play?
A: Try to play intense defense and a running type of offense.
Q: Best case scenario, how do you see this team doing?
A: I feel that if the team will come together and work as a team they can play high in state. We have one of the best teams in 1A in our region in Whitehorse and will have to play well to beat them in region play.
Q: What is a best method you use in practice and in games to build the team concept in basketball?
A: In practice we are trying to teach fundamentals and we do not move on till they grasp that concept and because of that I feel we are not real ready for play to start. But we believe you play the way you practice and therefore we have intense practices.
Q: Who are your assistant coaches?
A: Gary Torres assistant varsity, Blen Freestone post coach, and Josh Keyes JV coach.
Q: What are some must-see games this season?
A: Whitehorse (Feb 7) and San Juan (Dec 14 in Monticello, Dec 21 in Blanding).

Romney cruises to Illinois primary win
Updated 11:55 p.m. Eastern Time
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney cruised to victory in the Illinois Republican presidential primary on Tuesday night, defeating his closest rival, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, by double digits.
With nearly all precincts reporting, Romney had 47 percent of the votes cast to Santorum's 35 percent. Ron Paul was in third with 9 percent, and Newt Gingrich in fourth with 8 percent. Turnout was light in the state.
Live Illinois GOP Primary Results
In victory remarks in Schaumburg, Illinois, Tuesday night, Romney kept his focus squarely on President Obama-- not his Republican primary opponents.
CBS News exit polls found that Romney, whose base of support was in Chicago and its suburbs, performed well among college graduates, Catholics and voters who see the economy as the most important issue facing the country. He also had a small edge over Santorum among those identifying as conservative. Santorum led Romney among white evangelicals and those identifying as very conservative.
Exit polls found that 42 percent of Illinois
Republican voters said Romney is not conservative enough, while a roughly equal
percentage said his positions were about right. Forty-six percent said
Santorum's positions were about right, while 34 percent said he was too
conservative and 13 percent said he was not conservative enough.
Illinois Exit Poll
Illinois primary results by county
Romney was backed in Illinois by a massive spending advantage over the other candidates for the GOP nomination, as he has been in other states. According to a Campaign Media Analysis Group analysis, Romney and the super PAC backing him outspent Santorum and the super PAC backing him 18-1 on television ads in Illinois. Romney and his backers spent more than an estimated $3 million on television ads to Santorum's estimated $167,090.
Also boosting Romney was the perception that he has the best chance to defeat President Obama in November. Exit polls showed that 60 percent said Romney was the most electable candidate, compared to 23 percent for Santorum and nine percent for Gingrich.
In the exit polls, Romney led his rivals on the question of which candidate best
understands the problems of average Americans, with 36 percent support
to Santorum's 29 percent and Gingrich's 16 percent. In the Ohio primary,
the wealthy former CEO was at only 22 percent on this question.
How Romney won the Illinois primary
Romney is now expected to take to take the lion's share of the 54 delegates up for grabs in Tuesday's primary, which are allocated proportionately. The former Massachusetts governor is focused on getting the 1,144
delegates he needs to clinch the nomination before the convention. His
rivals are largely trying to keep Romney from that threshold, with the
hope of ultimately securing the nomination at a contested convention.
Santorum was not eligible for ten delegates in Illinois because his
campaign failed to identify supporters who could serve as delegates in
four congressional districts before the election. Neither Gingrich nor Paul seriously contested the state.
CBS News now estimates that Romney has 534 delegates, more than his three rivals combined. Santorum has 218 delegates in CBS News estimates, while Gingrich had 120 delegates and Paul had 42 delegates.
Estimated Republican Delegate Scorecard
Santorum said before Election Day that he was holding out hope for a surprise victory driven by the more rural, conservative voters in the southern and western part of the state, saying it would "really send shockwaves" through the Republican establishment. He held four rallies and submitted to 19 interviews in Illinois on Tuesday in a last-ditch effort to spur turnout among his largely-downstate supporters before heading to his home state of Pennsylvania, where voters go to the polls on April 24."We won the areas that conservatives and Republicans populate, and we're very happy about that," Santorum said Tuesday in Pennsylvania, after acknowledging his loss in Illinois. "We're happy about the delegates we're going to get too."
Santorum's campaign argued earlier Tuesday that the delegate estimates by CBS News and other news outlets overstated Romney's advantage, since they are doing well in certain county, district, and state conventions that will send delegates to the Republican convention. It also plans to challenge the decision by Florida and Arizona, a pair of states won by Romney, to award delegates in a "winner-take-all" fashion. A successful challenge would reduce Romney's delegate advantage.
In addition to Pennsylvania, Santorum expects to do well in the Louisiana primary on Saturday and go on to win in Arkansas and Kentucky on May 22. He has also set his sights on Texas, which offers 155 delegates and which holds a primary on May 29.
In the short term, however, the calendaroffers Romney far better opportunities to garner delegates. There are primaries in April in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, most of which Romney is expected to win. In addition to Pennsylvania, Santorum's best chance for victories in April come in Maryland and Wisconsin.
2012 Republican Primary Calendar
The victory in Illinois is the third win in the Midwest for Romney, who attacked Santorum in the run-up to Tuesday's contest as having "the same economic lightweight background the president has." Santorum, who has been hammering Romney over his past support for an individual health care mandate and his past as a "Wall Street financier," shot back that "If Mitt Romney's an economic heavyweight, we're in trouble."
The Santorum campaign has argued that if Gingrich left the race it would open the door to Santorum winning the nomination on the strength of conservative support. In exit polls Tuesday, Illinois Republican voters were asked how they would vote if only Romney and Santorum were in the race. Forty-seven percent said they would support Romney, 41 percent chose Santorum, and 11 percent said they would not have voted.
In a statement Tuesday night, Gingrich took aim at Romney for spending so much to win and vowed to stay in the race, saying "we need a nominee who offers powerful solutions that hold the president accountable for his failures."
With the nomination seemingly within reach, Romney is expected to aim his rhetoric squarely at the president in preparation for the general election. His rivals, meanwhile, will faced increased pressure to leave the race so that the party can rally around a nominee and leave behind what has been a bruising primary fight.
"Tonight was a primary, but November is the general election," Romney said Tuesday evening. "And we're going to face a defining decision as a people. Our choice will not be about party or even personality. This election will be about principle. Our economic freedom will be on the ballot.
Romney on Obama: "We've had enough"

Kim Keever's large-scale photographs are created by meticulously constructing miniature topographies in a 200-gallon tank, which is then filled with water. These dioramas of fictitious environments are brought to life with colored lights and the dispersal of pigment, producing ephemeral atmospheres that he must quickly capture with his large-format camera.
Keever's painterly panoramas represent a continuation of the landscape tradition, as well as an evolution of the genre. Referencing a broad history of landscape painting, especially that of Romanticism, the Hudson River School and Luminism, they are imbued with a sense of the sublime. However, they also show a subversive side that deliberately acknowledges their contemporary contrivance and conceptual artifice. Keever's staged scenery is characterized by a psychology of timelessness. A combination of the real and the imaginary, they document places that somehow we know, but never were. The symbolic qualities he achieves result from his understanding of the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, Keever fabricates an illusion to conjure the realms of our imagination.
Kim Keever lives in New York City, and has exhibited extensively in galleries throughout the United States and abroad.

I love rhubarb. I know it's a bit of a bizarre thing to love, but it's such a pretty color, and I love it's tang. I bought some at the Farmers Market last week because my regular supplier(hi Denis!) told me things are a bit behind in his garden(obviously, winter ended here 5 minutes ago). So today for lunch I made vanilla pancakes with strawberry rhubarb compote. They were perfectly sweet and delicious. A happy lunch on a beautiful day!
Vanilla Pancakes with Strawberry Rhubarb Compote
Makes about 15 medium pancakes
2 cups spelt flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbs cane sugar (or brown sugar)
3 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
1 tbs vanilla
4 tbs butter, melted
1 cup or so of rinsed and finely chopped rhubarb
1 cup or so of chopped fresh or frozen strawberries
Make the compote: In a small saucepan, combine the rhubarb and strawberries and drizzle generously with honey. Heat on medium low and simmer until fruit softens and releases it's juices. Turn heat to low until ready to serve.
Preheat a pancake griddle to 375 and lightly butter it. In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add in all wet ingredients and mix. Let sit for 3 minutes. Scoop small amounts onto griddle, they really expand and puff up. Wait a couple of minutes until bottom is turning golden and flip. When they are done, put them in an oven safe dish and keep in the oven on low heat just to stay warm.
Serve them with a generous spoonful of compote. Enjoy!
*** tip *** the key to fluffy pancakes is to mix them as little as possible. You do not have make the batter smooth, it can be a bit lumpy.

Census count begins in Alaska Monday
Census Bureau director Robert M. Groves will travel to Alaska Monday to begin the official tally for the 2010 Census.
Groves is slated to count the first household in Noorvik, a remote Inupiat Eskimo village located north of Arctic Circle.
The AP has some background and more details:
Monday's single count will be the only one conducted by Groves, and the rest of Noorvik's population will be enumerated beginning Tuesday. Census workers and trained locals are expected to take a week to interview villagers from the same 10-question forms to be mailed to most residents March 15. Census workers also will visit 217 other rural communities, all in Alaska, in the coming weeks.
Alaskans in rural communities not linked by roads have been the first people counted since the 1990 census. The unlinked communities are the places where the process is first conducted in person by census workers. The bureau makes personal visits to nonresponding residents around the country.
It's easier to get census workers to the Alaska villages before the spring thaw brings a muddy mess, making access more difficult, said Ralph Lee, director of the bureau's Seattle region, which oversees Alaska. Also, residents in many villages still live off the land, hunting and fishing for their food, and it's important to reach them before they set off for fishing camps or hunting expeditions when the weather begins to warm.

DEVORE, Calif., Feb. 21 (UPI) -- Law enforcement officers from throughout California and beyond gathered Thursday for the funeral of San Bernardino County sheriff's Deputy Jeremiah Alan MacKay.
MacKay was 35 when he was killed Feb. 12 in a shootout with former Los Angeles Police Department officer Christopher Dorner in the mountains around Big Bear, a resort east of Los Angeles.
MacKay was killed as he took part in the search for Dorner, who was being sought for the slayings of a couple in Irvine Feb. 3 and Riverside police officer Michael Crain Feb. 7. Dorner died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a mountain cabin.
His funeral began about 8 a.m. PST with a 5-mile long procession to the San Manuel Amphitheater in San Bernardino -- with accompaniment from bagpipers including Eric Rigler, a world-renowned piper, KCAL-TV, Los Angeles, reported.
MacKay -- who was a 14-year veteran with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department and a member of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department honor guard -- was a piper as well.
Mike Riley and members of the City of Boise (Idaho) Police Pipes and Drums unit traveled from Boise to play at MacKay's funeral, the Los Angeles Times reported.
"Since Deputy MacKay was a piper, there was a call for all pipes and drums to respond," he said. "We're here to temper the grief with honor."
MacKay's uncle, John Quinata, said the slain deputy was "a man who loved life so much that he carried his joy with him every day."
"Look around ... we're the ones he touched for a lifetime," he said.
MacKay is survived by his wife and two children.

Representatives from 26 countries are planning to hold a simultaneous meeting in Washington, D.C., and Geneva today to launch a Global Health Security Agenda that aims to better protect the world from infectious diseases.
Spearheaded by the United States and the World Health Organization (WHO), the new effort is an attempt to help lagging nations catch up on efforts to develop plans to address a "public health emergency of international concern." In 2005, 194 countries adopted WHO's revamped International Health Regulations, which required them to submit a report by June 2012 that detailed how they had bolstered efforts to evaluate and respond to outbreaks of dangerous pathogens like novel influenza strains, severe acute respiratory syndrome, dengue, Middle East respiratory syndrome, and Ebola. Just 40 of the countries, however, met the deadline.
As a result, the world faces "a real storm of vulnerability," said Tom Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, during a teleconference yesterday with reporters. "The bottom line here is that we have the ability to make both our country, the U.S., and the world substantially safer from infectious threats."
Frieden and other officials outlined a nine-point agenda, at least in broad strokes. It includes a commitment by the United States and other governments to help low- and middle-income countries better detect, prevent, and respond to infectious disease by improving their laboratory capabilities, introducing new proven technologies, and strengthening communication networks about outbreaks. Frieden says U.S. President Barack Obama's proposed budget for 2015, to be released in early March, will have $45 million in new money to support the effort. Other high-income countries have pledged to put cash on the barrelhead, too.
Laurie Garrett, a senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City, applauds the new agenda, which mirrors an idea she advocated in October. "It just makes sense," Garrett says. "If countries can't identify new diseases, then eventually those diseases could reach us." But she's concerned that the United States and other donor countries won't pony up enough money. "To pull this off you need to be spending well over $100 million a year," Garrett says. "It's going to take 5 or 6 years of good, hard, diligent work to reach the target everyone knows we have to reach."
Today's meeting is closed to the media and off-the-record, but individual countries will be free to describe their contributions to the conversation.

MONTREAL - The announcement of a new hip-hop song to promote harmony among Quebec anglophones and francophones seemed to take its cues from the lyrics of another popular tune — don't worry, be happy.
But that didn't stop a Parti Quebecois cabinet minister from having to field pointed questions from English-speaking media Thursday at what was intended as a feel-good event.
Jean-Francois Lisee, the minister responsible for anglophones in the provincial cabinet, denied that the government was sending mixed messages with language crackdowns one day and then funding the upbeat "Notre Home" the next.
"There are a number of issues that will always be there," he said. "There are going to be points on which we're going to have debates, we're going to have misconceptions."
The number of questions Thursday about language policy, as opposed to the government-funded language song, prompted Lisee's aide to interject at one point and ask whether media actually had any queries about the subject of the news conference.
The song, which was given $20,000 in funding by the Quebec government, is an initiative of an anglophone organization, the Quebec Community Groups Network. It was written by Montrealer David Hodges and performed by The Honest Family, a Montreal musical artists' collective.
Its video features images of a diverse group of youngsters playing in a park and it includes upbeat chords with lyrics such as, "We're living in a place that we want to share. But now we're feeling like there isn't anyone who cares."
The song has English and French versions, with bits of each language mixed into each version. The community group says the tune "nurtures Quebec's social fabric" with themes of engagement and leadership as well as cultural and linguistic identity.
Lisee acknowledged there are some sour notes in Quebec's language debate but his experience so far suggests that people are ready to work together as long as they feel included.
Hours before Lisee's news conference, a Montreal newspaper reported that a local hospital felt that the only way to entice the provincial health minister to a meeting about its future was to invite a prominent French-language hawk.
Lisee said he was unaware of the report.
He said the first reaction of some people is "to rush to the barricades" when an issue arises and he'd rather see a dialogue based on facts.
"We have to build benefit of the doubt in our relationship and this will go a long way."
But he said the relationship has seen its share of successes. Lisee noted that Quebecers had been "through one of the biggest identity stress tests of all mankind" in previous years and the long-term trend is encouraging.
"It's a process and we're trying to edge it along a little bit," he said.
Lisee agreed that concrete measures by the government toward linguistic harmony would likely be more appreciated by some than the funding of bouncy songs.
"Stay tuned," he added. "This is for today but we're doing other things."
Among that is a negotiation on how to decide whether a city merits bilingual status. Such a status is being called into question for municipalities where the Anglo population has dropped below a certain threshold.
The song and video, which will be played at events around the province starting next month, follows in the aftermath of friction from last fall's divisive election campaign in which language and identity politics played a large part.
There have also been dustups in Montreal's transit system between English-speaking travellers and clerks who would only address them in French.
Possibly the most disturbing incident happened the night of the PQ election victory in September when a stagehand was shot dead and another man was wounded. A man arrested at the scene declared that anglophones were waking up as he was led away.
The PQ vowed in the campaign to toughen Quebec language laws. It has tabled language legislation, although its bill is significantly milder than the measures it campaigned on.
Hodges said the song reflects his experience in Quebec, pointing out that there's a lot of collaboration between French- and English-speaking musicians.
He said he feels the song and tour will help inspire young people to build bridges.
"This type of project, going into the schools, it's really to inspire kids to have a sense of belonging to their culture, the English and the French aspect of our culture," he said, adding that will be felt in future generations of leaders.
Sylvia Martin-Laforge, director-general of the QCGN, said she hopes the song could become an anthem for young people to rally around.
She acknowledged the language situation isn't completely rosy "but we have to keep plugging at it."

- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work

It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

Online retailers must distinguish themselves in three aspects of a transaction: customer interaction with the Web site, delivery of the product and ability to address problems when they occur
Consumers' ability to go online to search for and purchase products has dramatically changed the way organizations are managing customer relationships. E-commerce has effectively minimized two of the biggest hurdles to providing a quality experience in a retailing environment. First, it has minimized "heterogeneity" by providing a far more consistent experience to every customer. Unlike a service employee, a Web site never arrives late to work, and it is never in a bad mood or inattentive. A Web site never forgets to sell related products or keep records of previous purchases along with customers' purchase preferences. (Though e-commerce has reduced some of the heterogeneity in retail experiences, it has not eradicated it. Web sites can lose server connections and experience technical problems that can have a negative impact on customers.) E-commerce has also reduced "perishability" in the retail experience by allowing shopping and product purchases 24 hours a day, seven days a week. With so many customers who consider themselves to be "time starved,"1 online organizations are now allowing the customer to decide when a transaction will occur.
E-commerce clearly has some advantages over brick-and-mortar retailing, but how does one online retailer distinguish itself from another? Early research in e-commerce projected that online retailing would spiral into a never-ending price war, while recent researchers have discovered that customers are more likely to pay higher prices to online retailers of high quality that they trust.2 We must ask, How do customers evaluate quality with online retailing? What are the specific aspects of an online transaction that customers value and use to distinguish one Web site from another? We explored these issues by surveying customers who had recently engaged in an online retail transaction to determine how they evaluate the quality of their experiences with online retailers. The results demonstrated that customers' perceptions of quality and satisfaction with online purchases depend upon three things: interaction with the Web site, delivery of the product and how prepared retailers are to address problems when they occur. Of the three, product delivery has the strongest influence on customers' satisfaction and future purchase intentions. (See "About the Research.")

By DAVID GREEN
A new waste treatment system, another financial penalty, limits on herd growth, enhanced reporting requirements, eventual closure of the Packard Road satellite lagoon, and the threat of new fines for unlawful discharges—those are among the points listed in a 62-page interim order announced June 6 in a Lansing circuit court.
The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and Vreba-Hoff Dairy signed a settlement agreement June 6 to end legal action against dairy owners that began in January.
As in past settlements, accepting the document "does not constitute an admission by Vreba-Hoff that the law has been violated." The DEQ has issued citations for discharges on numerous occasions since the first of two farms opened south of Hudson in 1998.
Vreba-Hoff will pay $180,000 in fines to the State of Michigan for violations and enforcement costs and must have a new waste treatment system in operation by Sept. 15. The new EarthMentor system—expected to cost in excess of $2 million—is described below.
Existing manure lagoons will be converted for use in the new six-step treatment system and additional cells will be constructed. A 30 million gallon, clay-lined treatment cell is under construction at the Vreba-Hoff II farm on U.S.-127 and a 23 million gallon cell is being built at Vreba-Hoff I on Dillon Highway.
Smaller treatment cells and manure processing buildings will also be constructed.
If the dairy company fails to treat manure as specified in the settlement, manure must be removed from the farm or the number of cows must be reduced.
Unlawful discharges will bring fines of up to $10,000 a day, depending on the nature of the discharge.
The satellite lagoon constructed early this year on Packard Road can be used for manure storage either for an additional 32 months or until all manure in the lagoon is treated via the new EarthMentor system.
In January, the DEQ sought a herd reduction of 40 percent, but through a mediation process, the population of approximately 6,530 cows was to be reduced to 6,266. This figure was reached before the settlement was announced, according Vreba-Hoff attorney Jack Van Kley.
When the Earth Mentor system is in operation, the dairy will be able to increase herd size to 6,466. When the primary treatment cell reaches operational capacity and is ready to discharge into the second treatment cell, the herd may be increased by no more than 100 cows a month until a maximum of 7,266 is reached.
Vreba-Hoff must refrain from building any new structures for animals for 10 years.
The dairy is faced with a several guidelines, such as informing the DEQ before land application, observing setbacks along streams, incorporating manure into the soil on the day it is applied, and regulating the amount of untreated manure in storage.
Michigan attorney general Mike Cox stated in a DEQ press release that, "Mega-farms require great regulatory scrutiny because they have the potential to severely impact the environment. The enforcement action taken was a necessary step to compel compliance with our environmental laws and again demonstrates my commitment to preserve and protect our natural resources."
Tom Menke, a consultant with a new environmental management company, said, "Vreba-Hoff is pleased that all issues have been resolved, and is looking forward to proceeding with exciting new advances in technology."
A settlement reached last week with the Michigan DEQ calls for installation of a new treatment system incorporating elements of a typical municipal system, along with enhancements to meet the needs of the dairy. The system is known as the EarthMentor Natural Nutrient Reclamation and Treatment System.
The six-step process is more extensive than many municipal systems, said Vreba-Hoff attorney Jack Van Kley, and it's new for dairies to use this approach.
1. The first step, Van Kley said, is to install sand separation units at both farms to remove sand from manure. The sand is used as bedding in the barns.
The cyclone sand separation system creates a vortex inside a tank, explained Mark Knoblauch of Morenci, who serves as an environmental consultant to Vreba-Hoff. Knoblauch operated the City of Hudson's wastewater treatment system for many years.
Between 75 and 80 percent of the sand will settle out, Knoblauch said, which will be composted to kill off pathogens.
2. Manure is then run through a system to begin separating solids from liquids. The solids could be run through the existing press system that Knoblauch has made operational or they could be composted without the press system. Van Kley said the press system will be shut down when the new one is operational. After composting, the solids will be applied on fields.
3. Liquids are directed into the first settling basis for additional separation. Pumps will be used to remove solids.
4. Liquids then move on to a second settling basin to continue the settling process. Existing storage lagoons will be used in the process along with some new construction.
"You're getting water with less and less manure in it," Knoblauch said.
5. Anaerobic treatment begins in step 5, incorporating a lagoon holding up to 40 million gallons. The anaerobic process is just like Morenci's wastewater system, Knoblauch said, where the lack of oxygen kills off pathogens over time.
The liquid will be held here for six months, he said, with additional settling occurring.
6. A holding cell will store the liquid before it's used for irrigation.
"By the time it makes it to step six, it's probably clean enough," Van Kley said, although additional treatment will continue there.
It's tested technology, Knoblauch said, although it's not tested on cow manure. While municipal systems discharge into a river, liquid from the Vreba-Hoff system will only be used for field application.
