Why we love this brand
New CID Cosmetics are a premium, innovative colour cosmetic range, made to take the confusion out of make-up with wearable shades and easy-to-use application.They provide key products that will allow you to create a wide range of looks, which are also suitable for all different skin tones and complexions. Created by a team of hundreds of working make- up artists, Director and Founder Kelly Colman explains ‘The aim was to create range that simplified make-up application'.
Why they were specially selected
New CID has the aim to simplify make-up application with their innovative application designs and sensational formulations, a mission that Bath & Unwind supports.The range was created in the New ID studios which are situated throughout the country. They are the UK's leading makeover company founded over 8 years ago by Clive and Kelly Colman. After their first makeover and photography studio opened in London's West End they went on to open a further 10 premium studios throughout the country. Over the years Kelly listened to hundreds of New CID make-up artists sharing insights that they have picked up from making up real women in the New ID studios. These women felt that make-up shopping could be overwhelming with too many fashion-led ‘shades which aren't always wearable or easy to apply.
From this information New CID Cosmetics formed and unveiled to fill that gap in the market. Today it is still shaped by the experience of those make-up artists. Bath & Unwind is pleased to add New CID cosmetics to our collection to offer this premium brand to our customers.
Why this brand is best at what they do
New CID is the only range in the world which has a creative team made up of hundreds of working make-up artists. The team are constantly passing on their expert knowledge and insider tips to New CID Head office where they become the basis of their product innovation.
The make-up artists for CID listen to what their clients have to say about changing trends and the skin changes that we encounter as we age and use this information to progress the brand. Loved by celebrities and the press, New CID has the aim to simplify make-up application with their innovative application designs and sensational formulations.
Hero Product
Our New CID hero product was a hard one to pick as there are so many fantastic products to choose from! We chose our best seller, and New CID best seller; I - Prime. This excellent foundation primer not only improves the appearance of the skin but allows foundation to glide on perfectly and stay on all day - even in those tricky areas. I-Prime is a lightweight serum that should be applied after moisturising to instantly add luminosity to the skin, resulting in a silky smooth complexion.
Top TipTo ensure foundation glides on smoothly and creates a long lasting, flawless finish, first moisturise the face then apply I-Prime to the forehead, cheeks, nose and tip of chin. Finish by applying foundation or powder.

Kids Summer Music Theater Camp SOLD OUT
Wednesday, August 1, 2012
9:30 am to 12:30 pm
ONLY A FEW SPOTS LEFT!
KIDS SUMMER MUSIC THEATER CAMPS
The Bay Street Theatre KIDS SUMMER MUSIC THEATER CAMPS will take place July 30 - August 3 (SOLD OUT) or August 6-10 (SOLD OUT)! 9:30 am - 12:30 pm daily at Studio 3 in Bridgehampton; led by Susan Galardi and Bethany Dellapolla
This camp is very popular and books up quickly. Each week long session includes classes and games incorporating every aspect of theatre including acting, singing, performance and dance.
Theatre Camp is recommended for children ages 8 to 12 years old. $425 per child or $800 for both weeks. Students are required to dress in comfortable clothes and bring their willingness to learn. Bay Street will provide the rest, including a snack.
Susan Galardi's focus for the camp is working as vocal coach, basic singing instruction, helping shape and write the play the kids will perform, and directing. A graduate of Carnegie-Mellon University and the Manhattan School of Music (Vocal Performance), Susan is a singer/actor/songwriter/playwright and a member of Actor's."
"The sheer fun of improv comedy and acting exercises, or learning a song or developing a short theater piece, engages children in problem solving, creative thinking, and collaboration. Through simple character study, they walk in someone else's shoes and gain insight into themselves and others," says Galardi.
At Bay Street Kids Theatre Camp, Bethany Dellapolla leads improvs and acting exercises, and teaches all dance and choreography. She received her BA in both Theatre Performance and Radio/Television Production from SUNY New Paltz. Currently, she is pursuing her Master's Degree in Childhood Education (Birth - 6), and is set to graduate in May with honors. She is a proud member of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.

A34 Range Rover transporter crash causes lengthy road closure
All lanes have reopened on the A34 in Hampshire after a vehicle transporter under tow struck the central barrier, shedding its load of cars.
The crash happened on the northbound carriageway near Whitchurch on Monday night. No-one was injured.
Lanes in both directions were shut for most of Tuesday.
A 29-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, driving with an insecure load and causing danger to other road users.
Hampshire police said the fully-loaded transporter was being towed by a heavy recovery vehicle when it broke free and hit the barrier, crossing on to the opposite carriageway.
No other vehicles were involved but there was "extensive damage to the road surface and barrier".
An earlier police message on Twitter described the scene as having "lots of expensive Range Rovers all over the road".

Mass protest in Rio over the distribution of oil royalties
An estimated 200,000 people have taken to the streets of Rio de Janeiro to ask Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff to veto a bill that proposes sharing oil revenues more evenly between oil-producing states.
Opponents of the bill say it will deprive Rio state of up to $35bn (£22bn; 27bn euros) over the next eight years and that this could jeopardize Rio's ability to host the 2014 World Cup and the Olympics in 2016.

NEWS & PRESS RELEASES.
In 2007, Dan ran the New York City Marathon while dribbling a basketball the entire way to raise awareness for the millions of children orphaned by AIDS worldwide. Read about his NYC race here.
Originally from and still residing just outside New York City, in Fairview, NJ, Dan is a 2004 graduate of Baptist Bible College.
His current ministry, Dribble the World is an extension of Ball for Lives, a nonprofit organization that exists to help rescue African orphans and children in need around the world. The organization works to support Bethesda Outreach Ministries, a children's village in South Africa built and supported by Evangelical Baptist Missions.
Read more In the Spotlights here.
Insight Questions
What led you to BBC?
My mother asked me to go to a college fair that I really didn't feel like going to, but I said ok. I saw Coach Show, who I knew from a Defender Sports Camp. After talking with him I saw very clearly the Lord was leading
me to BBC. It was that simple.
What program were you in and why?
Secondary Education English. I had, and still have, a vision for Christians entering public schools with the light of Christ. Literature is probably the easiest subject to use to begin life discussions with students, and being light in darkness naturally leads to long term opportunities to speak of Christ with them outside the school setting. I currently sub and coach in an urban public school.
How did BBC prepare you for your ministry?
God used BBC to place several key people in my life. Dr. (Jim) King's linguistics class challenged me to believe God could use my life to radically change lives around the world. Coaches (Mike) Show, (Jamie) Miller, (Mark) Chapman, and (Dwight) Peterson encouraged me greatly to pursue God and helped me become the man He has made me to be. The relationships I made with many other BBC students are invaluable, several of whom have dribbled races around the country, including Adam Reinking (Indiana, 2008), Josh Waldron (Atlanta, 2008), Nate Logan (Tampa Bay, 2009), Ashley Ten Kate (New York City, 2009), Justin Cook (New Jersey, 2009), and Laurie Plante and Kellyn Lovell (Philadelphia, 2010).
How did Dribble the World start?
During my college years I began developing a passion for acting against world poverty. I specifically remember a chapel message that Paul Jackson, then president of EBM, preached on Galatians 2:1-10. He showed Paul's concern for the accuracy of the Gospel he was preaching and the warning the other apostles gave him after they approved his message: as you go out to the gentiles with the gospel, don't forget the poor.
In 2006, I decided I wanted to do something big with basketball to help rescue African orphans. I heard about the AIDS epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa through the ministry of Bethesda Outreach in South Africa. My heart was burdened to do something for the millions of orphans who had lost their parents to AIDS.
One day I was thinking about my dad, who has run many marathons, including the New York City Marathon, twice. Then I thought: "Why not dribble a basketball through one of the biggest marathons in the world to raise funds and awareness for African orphans?" So I did it!
How does it work?
People who are interested in dribbling a running event contact us, and we help them get started. First they need to select which race they want to dribble and a cause they would like to benefit. We still faithfully support Bethesda Outreach, but we have discovered many other solid organizations that are doing great things to save lives. Then we help our runners get started on their training and on raising awareness and funds. Finally, when we can, we bring a group of people with bright green Dribble the World shirts to cheer them on at their races. Our desire is to use these opportunities to talk with people about our motivation, Jesus Christ.
Why Dribble the World?
Because God is glorified seeing His children use their talents for His glory. He loves seeing His people come together to labor for His name. Our God hates injustice and loves rescuing those who are victims of it. Finally, a lost world desperately needs to see the heart of God, the hearts of His children, and the invitation that is open to all to join His family.
What do you hope to accomplish?
I most of all want God to be honored in all the ways I just mentioned. One specific goal I have had since the beginning is to see a Bethesda Outreach started in each of the four countries surrounding South Africa. When we started Dribble the World, I remember reading each one had an AIDS rate of higher than 30%.
What has been your most significant success?
Any success we have had is the work of God done in the lives of our dribblers, the lives of the people who see what we do, and the precious people trapped in poverty that we labor to save.
What else have you been or are you involved in?
I now go into schools (Christian and public), churches, and youth groups with a presentation called "Create the Crossover." I use entertaining dribbling drills and tricks to share what we are doing with Dribble the World, and to inspire people to think about how God could use their talents and abilities to save lives. We also have "The X Fund," a project that promotes sexual purity within the Church by getting believers involved in combating child prostitution globally. These three efforts are the three extensions of Ball for Lives, our nonprofit organization.
What is the favorite thing you do with Dribble the World?

The Fourth (or Second) of July.
The Botanical Gardens are absolutely beautiful, although the stench of the bathrooms can strike from up to 30 feet away. The gardens house a small zoo with goats, a donkey, peacocks (the sound of which reminded me of the evening hours back home in California), deer and two ostriches. Ostriches are big and mean, and I agree with Jess A. that they are the closest thing the modern world has to a velociraptor.
The embassy did a minimal but solid job, providing an open field, barbecue pits, a pleasant mix of American music and a few security guards thrown in, too. It was a loose framework that allowed me to eat a hamburger, drink a few beers, smoke half a cigar, and play wiffle-ball, ultimate frisbee and baseball.
Throwing a baseball has transformed itself into an almost Zen-like centering exercise for me while in this country. Among the trainees, we have three right-handed gloves and one lefty. I bring my glove any place where more than the nine Costesti trainees will be. It's something familiar and American, and something that combines the right amounts of concentration on the task at hand and socializing with the person you're throwing with. At the Fourth of July party, for example, I noticed and gestured toward a stranger with a baseball glove. Without speaking for the first ten minutes, we never got closer to one another than 60 feet. We communicated with the simplest of baseball hand signals: pointing in the sky for a pop-up, tapping ourselves apologetically on the chest after an errant throw and a nod and a smile after a particularly nice catch. Other than that, complete silence. It could have gone on for hours, but I was thirsty for a beer, so I hustled over for a conference, introduced myself, found out that my throwing partner was a missionary living in Chisinau, and then excused myself for a drink.
After a second beer and a few innings pitched of wiffle-ball, I found myself talking with a member of the North Carolina National Guard. He was a sturdy and confident man, aged somewhere in his early-to-mid 30s. He had had several assignments in Moldova, and had recently finished the first month of his current assignment. The U.S. has an interest in having friendly relations with the Moldovan military, and this soldier was doing his part.
"So are y'all doing training exercises with them?" I said, simultaneously throwing in a Southern tinge to my voice and shooting the majority of my military jargon in the first load.
"Well, training's a bit of a dirty word with us," the soldier said. "We call if familiarization. We show them how we do it, and then say, 'Now you have to forget this.'"
For his part, this soldier's exchange was not purely military. He was joined by a slightly-younger lady named Rodica, who was only the first of several military menРҐs Moldovan girlfriends I met throughout the day. I believe that the nine-year-old American-looking boy named Mihai with whom I played wiffle-ball was the product of such a match, and he seemed like a good kid, so I can find no objection to this portion of the cultural exchange.
Speaking of the culture, I did something this weekend that I donРҐt believe I ever would have done in America. I was rather drunk on Saturday night and had been walked home by fellow trainees Evan and Krista. Evan let me borrow his flashlight, and I headed directly to the outhouse in the back. As I stood over the hole and did what I needed to do, I cradled the flashlight between my turned neck and right shoulder. As I was preparing to turn and leave, the outhouse got dark, the load on my shoulder felt lighter, and my eye was drawn to a faint light coming from below the outhouse floor. It took me several seconds to realize that Evan's flashlight was gone and it wasn't coming back. The next morning, I went to the outhouse with latex gloves in my pocket, but I couldn't make visual contact with the flashlight, so I decided it was better not to try. My host family knows that I need to buy Evan a new flashlight in Chisinau on Wednesday, but when they asked me where I lost it, I simply replied, "Nu stiu. Sunt idiot." I don't know. I'm an idiot.

FAQ: Applying to Graduate School
Insights from a BC professor
What is Graduate School?
Graduate school is more than simply an extension of undergraduate coursework. Whether a masters or a doctoral program, graduate school is a specialized and demanding study of a field of interest in the arts or the sciences. The pursuit of graduate study within the arts and sciences is most often driven by a love of knowledge for its own sake. Many students who pursue such studies find work in academia as teachers and/or researchers, or pursue work related to their chosen field in the corporate world.
For added perspective, read Phil Agre's Advice for Undergraduates Considering Graduate School. It is a thoughtful essay discussing many considerations and realities associated with graduate school.
The Importance of Research and Relationships
Graduate school is, above all else, driven by research. Whether pursuing a doctorate in history or biology, the bulk of graduate work involves performing intensive research, either in a laboratory or a library. One should consider this reality carefully before pursuing the application process further. Ask yourself if you enjoy doing research, and if the answer is no, you may want to reconsider applying.
The other aspect of graduate school that is important to remember before, during, and after attending a program, is that it is fundamentally a relationship-intensive pursuit, and the development of relationships among other academics and scholars is a key part of the whole experience. A good relationship with a professor as an undergraduate, for example, can lead to a satisfying independent study or thesis, which can be a strong demonstration of interest in and competence for graduate research. Relationships developed with fellow students in graduate school is also critical, as these relationships will form the nucleus of your professional network in academia.
Choosing a School
Often the most valuable sources of advice regarding graduate programs are professors, staff and graduate students in those programs.
- Speak with professors, staff and graduate students here at BC - tell them what your most important criteria are and ask their opinions about the best programs.
- Email those scholars whose work you have read and admired, and ask their opinion about the best programs. You may be surprised by the number of responses you receive.
- Visit the Boston College Career Center. You can speak with a Career Counselor about graduate school and gather more information on specific schools and programs from the Career Center Library.
- Speak with the Arts and Sciences deans.
Information about graduate schools can also be found from a variety of sources, including books that profile graduate schools, prospectus materials from the schools themselves, and web sites.
Grad School Catalogs Online
NOTE: you must be on the BC campus or logged onto the Internet through BC to use this system.
The World-Wide Graduate School Directory is an excellent starting point for graduate school information on the Internet covering over 23,000 graduate programs around the world. Peterson's Education Center also contains information on graduate school and other topics, including Careers and Jobs, Financial Aid, and Testing.
The H-Grad Home Page offers a discussion forum for graduate students as well as a comprehensive listing of graduate school links by topic. Browsing this page can help convey what graduate school is really like by reading about it from the perspective of graduate students themselves.
Admissions
There is no "right" age or length of work experience necessary for applying to an graduate arts and sciences program. Incoming students range in age from 22 to 42. Many graduate students have just completed their undergraduate work. Some take a year off to travel or perform volunteer work before re-entering the academic world. Others work for several years in a variety of career fields before deciding to pursue graduate studies.
Graduate school admissions are based on five basic criteria:
- Undergraduate GPA
- GRE scores
- Recommendations
- Personal Statement
- Work experience and/or prior research projects
Experience is not limited to work history, but also includes relevant personal life experiences, travels, volunteer work, and hobbies. These experiences should be reflected in the personal statement and recommendations.
GPA and GRE scores are important, but experiences outside the classroom also count. Remember that you must convince an admissions committee that your abilities and experiences will make you a valuable addition to that program.
For general information about applying to graduate schools, check out Getting In: An Applicant's Guide to Graduate School Admissions by David Burrell. It is a helpful guide written by a former Kaplan tutor who successfully completed the graduate school application process.
The GRE
The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is required by most graduate schools. It is a standardized test, similar to the SAT, with two parts: the General Test and the Subject Test.
The General Test includes a variety of multiple choice questions to test verbal, mathematical, and analytical abilities.
The General Test is now administered on computer terminals at test centers throughout North America and can be taken by appointment on any one of several days each month.
The Subject Test is a section with specific questions in an academic discipline. You choose which Subject Test you wish to take, based on the field of graduate study you intend to pursue. Subject Tests are available in the following disciplines:
- Biochemistry: Cell and Molecular Biology
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Computer Science
- Literature in English
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Psychology
The Subject Tests are administered as paper-based tests only. About half of the Subject Tests are offered on a predetermined date in November; all Subject Tests are offered on fixed dates in December and April. More information on the GRE is available from GRE Online, the official website of the Graduate Record Examinations.
Several test-preparation resources are available. Many different books are published annually with GRE practice questions and test-taking strategies, and are available at any bookstore. It is recommended that you use one of these books to aid you in your preparation. If you find yourself needing further GRE preparation, you may elect to enroll in a course offered by one of several test prep companies. These courses can often cost several hundred dollars, so gauge your progress and preparation needs carefully before choosing a prep course.
While Boston College does not endorse any particular GRE prep course, two well-known test prep companies with content-rich websites are The Princeton Review and Kaplan.
Also see our Test Prep Resources page.
Recommendations
Ask people who know you and your abilities well. If you did outstanding work in class for a professor, or if you undertook a significant research project or thesis with a faculty member, these people are in the best position to write compelling letters of recommendation for you. Generally, graduate schools are looking for recommendations from people who can describe your interests and abilities,; graduate schools prefer to see "blind" recommendations because they feel that blind recommendations can offer a more honest assessment of a person's abilities.
Provide the recommendation writers with some background materials, such as a resume and a copy of your personal statement. These materials can help the writers tailor the recommendations to complement the rest of your application package. For example, if you discuss in an essay a research project of which you are particularly proud, you will want to be sure your professor includes a reference to that project in a recommendation. This background material, including your reasons for applying and your career goals, helps recommendation writers focus on your specific strengths, accomplishments, and interests.
College faculty are pressed for time to complete recommendations along with their regular workload, and would welcome your help. In fact, do not be surprised if a faculty member were to tell you, "Draft a recommendation letter for me, and I will make a few changes and sign it for you." In this instance, use the supplemental material yourself to craft a letter which your recommendation writer can then modify as necessary. Linda Abraham's website Accepted.com offers sound advice for recommendation writing, whether the letters are prepared by you or someone else.
The Personal Statement
Most graduate school applications have a generally worded question asking for a personal statement on a topic of your choosing. This statement may include your reasons for choosing the graduate school and/or field you are pursuing, some related accomplishments in academics or other extracurricular activities, or something unique about you that may not be covered elsewhere in your application. As a rule, this personal statement should be about two typed, double spaced pages in length.
When writing the personal statement, be yourself. Show, rather than tell, what you can offer and why you are a compelling candidate for admission. Find your "voice" and write honestly without forcing a particular style or tone. The most compelling essays have a ring of authenticity to them, whether they are serious, funny, sad, or some combination of the three. Write from personal experience, and write honestly. Review your personal statement carefully and proofread the essay for proper syntax, grammar, and spelling.
Linda Abraham's page Accepted.com contains helpful suggestions for writing graduate school application essays.
Timetable of Key Events
When to Request Applications: Try to get them as soon as they are available, usually late summer/early fall.
When to Take The GRE: Since the GRE is now offered on computer terminals at testing centers every month, there is more flexibility for taking the test. Try scheduling the GRE in the spring; ideally, you could take the paper-based General Test and your chosen Subject Test on the same day at the April administration. If you think you did not do well on the General Test, you can cancel the scoring immediately after the test and take it again. Since official reports arrive at the schools four to six weeks after the test, November is generally the last opportunity to take the General Test and still be sure the schools receive the scores before the first application deadline. Schedule the GRE early because popular days and times book quickly. It is best to take the GRE Personal Statement: Start thinking about the personal statement as soon as you know you will be applying to graduate school. Give yourself plenty of time to brainstorm for ideas, and polish the essays. Try to finish the personal statement
- Visit the schools that interest you, if possible.
- Develop an appropriate mix of schools to which you will apply. Select one or two "reach" schools, two or three schools at which your admissions chances are competitive, and one or two schools at which your admissions chances are likely.
- Visit BC's Financial Aid page for links to helpful sources for financing your graduate education.
- FAQ: Applying to Graduate School - Insights from a BC professor
- Use the Career Advisory Network to interview alumni about their graduate school experiences.

Thor: Reviewed In Limerick
A superhero straight from down under?
From Summer Bay to play the God of Thunder,
But he can’t use his hammer,
To nail Nat Portman’s glamour,
Can Avengers live to the hype? I wonder.
Rating: 3.5/5
I’m a bit late with this one, and I know that three other reviewers have already covered Thor but after all the crap that I’ve seen, I wanted to review a movie that I genuinely liked.
Thor is the latest Marvel comic adaptation, and one of the few remaining back-stories in the lead up to the super superhero-group, The Avengers (with Captain America soon to follow).
It tells the story of Thor (Chris Hemsworth), son of Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and heir to the throne of mystical land Asgard. After a selfish act risks the safety of his realm, Thor is banished to Earth without his power or treasured weapon Mjolnir (pronounced myol-neer). On Earth, he befriends a team of scientists (including Natalie Portman) and learns the value of selflessness, love and blah, blah, blah. Meanwhile, back at Asgard, things begin to fall apart, with Thor’s brother Loki is causing mischief and threatening to destroy the balance of peace created by their father.
As the God of Thunder, I was curious as to how Marvel were going to tackle the ‘fantasy’ aspect of his back-story, while making it possible to relate to the science-based logic behind Iron Man and The Hulk. Luckily, the script balances it out perfectly.
Director Kenneth Branagh tackles the matter head-on, making an effort to explain the link between science and magic, instead of brushing over it in the hope that it would explain itself later on in the franchise.
The best thing about Thor (in geek terms anyway) was that it made multiple references to other characters within the Marvel Universe and sets up the story for The Avengers, due in 2012.
Most notably, The Hurt Locker’s Jeremy Renner makes his debut as the marksman Clint Barton, a.k.a Hawkeye. While I haven’t heard any plans to develop a spin-off movie for his character, it is interesting that they have him working with S.H.I.E.L.D already (similar to his comic-book love interest Black Widow).
Throughout the film, Stellan Skarsgard’s scientist also speaks about an old-friend who experimented with Gamma Rays and was taken by S.H.I.E.L.D – of course referring to Bruce Banner (The Hulk), and when agents are confronted by a massive, fire-breathing robot, they immediately suspect the involvement of Tony Stark (Iron Man).
The biggest revelation comes long after the credits roll. For those of you who are willing to sit until the end, will get potential clue as to the story behind The Avengers movie. I won’t give it away here, but it basically reveals who the villain is likely to be, and features Samuel Jackson as S.H.I.E.L.D coordinator Nick Fury.
Chris Hemsworth is awesome and carries himself well as a God amongst men, without being too outrageous or conceded. The Aussie accent actually made all the difference in that respect, as an American forcing the same dialogue would have been off-putting.
The support cast here is amazing, with Hopkins playing the admirable king who reveals moments of weakness, and Tom Hiddleston as Loki, who establishes his own motives but is later confronted by new information that influences his decisions.
Natalie Portman just keeps getting hotter and cooler (bit of a contradiction), which makes it perfectly believable that even a God would fall for her. I also thought it was good that Kat Dennings provided most of the comic relief, in a part which is usually handed to nerdy-looking males like Justin Long. I can’t believe Rene Russo went for such a small role, as it was basically a nothing-part (unless it’s a role that carries on with the franchise).
It seems that Marvel Studios is yet to stumble since they started producing their own movies. While failures like Daredevil, Elektra, The Punisher, Fantastic Four and Ghost Rider were helmed by other studios, Marvel has built a credible resume, including both Iron Man films, the reboot of The Incredible Hulk (not that incredible), Thor and the upcoming Captain America.
To be honest, I can’t wait to see how it all comes together with The Avengers. I guess we’ll have to wait an see.

Top 5 Myth-Busted Beauty Tips
Myth 1: Rubbing lemon on your teeth makes them whiter without damaging them.
FALSE. The citric acid from lemons will make them whiter, but it also wears away the enamel. Don’t make this a habit!
Myth 2: Special shampoos can fix split ends.
FALSE. Special shampoos that rehydrate your hair will only work to prevent damage after you cut your split ends off.
Myth 3: Sunscreen is unnecessary on a cloudy day.
FALSE. Clouds are just made of water droplets. And just like you wouldn’t forget sunscreen coverage for playing in the pool, neither should you for an overcast day. UV rays are the problem-causing light frequency and can easily penetrate any amount of cloud cover. Cover up!
FALSE. As long as you don’t overdo it, chocolate is part of a healthy diet. Diet plays a very distinct role in skin problems. The best way to promote a healthy complexion is to eat a diet rich with anti-oxidants, nutrients, Vitamin E and simple carbohydrates.
Myth 5: Wearing acrylic nails too often will destroy your real nails.
FALSE. They actually do a pretty good job of protecting your real nails. However, you can certainly do damage to your real nails if you try to get acrylic nails off improperly, like picking them off piece by piece. Treat your acrylic nails with the same respect you give your real nails, and everything will be fine.
Got any more beauty tips passed to you that turned out to be bunk? Let us know about them!

Good stuff! I’ve tried to tell people about the lemon juice before. Never heard of the split end shampoo but that’s interesting.

We (our family) have a member that has chosen beauty school. When a student is
working on customers at the school. Does the student get any of the fee that the customer pays for the students’ services, or, does the school keep all the money and the student has to hope for a tip.

Hi Evia! This is a great question! Though it can vary from school to school, students typically do not get paid when working in the school’s student salon. They are there for experience working with real clients, and the prices are very nominal anyway, so the school keeps the money. And yes, sometimes students get tips!

I shall leave you with this final note, that which echoes the words of the great Nietzsche: To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering. Please accept this so-called 'Luv' as a shallow token of my enduring appreciation. Signed, Online Blogger.
To my long time friend Mr David Doherty. Mere words cannot possibly profess the magnitude of feeling I would expect to experience upon recognition of your enduring care, concern and compassion for me. Unfortunately, as I am sure you have deduced from your apparent above-average intellectuality, I am void of emotions bearing positivity. I am bereft, my dear friend, of beatitude and thus cannot claim to comprehend the weight behind your kind words. Forgive me, David, for you know that such emotions are beyond me. I do, however, possess the aptitude for gratitude, (do you take kindly to my use of rhyme - I developed it in isolation and assure you that it was a mere fluke) though I have little cause to do so as life has dealt me the cruelest of hands and henceforth, I appear to digress. Once more, forgive me, David, for I would never wish to burden you.

Ghost Face Killah
February 9, 2012 in ale, beer, Boulder, brewery, chile beer, chili, colorado, craft beer, hops, twisted pine
I like beer. Hoppy beer, dark beer and even…hot beer! I recently tried the Ghost Face Killah from Twisted Pine Brewery in Boulder, Colo.
I’ve heard rumors about this beer; it’ll burn all the way down, you may not survive the first sip, and for most, that may be true. Gost Face Killah is brewed with 6 peppers (some may call crazy hot!): Anaheim, Fresno, Jalapeno, Serrano, Habanero and Bhut Jolokia – aka Ghost Pepper. The Ghost Pepper punches 200 times the heat of jalapenos, sitting at over 1 millions Scoville units (Jalapenos, Anaheim and Poblano between 3,500-8,000 and Serrano’s at 10,000-23,000, you get the picture!). The Guinness World Records certified the Ghost chili as the hottest peppers in the
world. The brewers even had to wear masks and gloves to cut them up! Yikes!
You think I’m hyping the beer up? Go ahead, try it yourself, I dare ya! I’m a Southwestern girl, and I can burn my face-off with chili’s, hot sauce and go for more, I’m not going to lie, Ghost Face is a Killah! Upon my first sip, I was really anticipating the chili pepper taste to be as strong as its aroma. It has a nice, light wheat flavor, then the temperature rises and the heat kicks in. It’s burn lasts throughout your mouth and the back of your throat. How’s the finish? HOT! Although, it’s a well balanced beer. Truly, if you dig chili-style beer, as I do, and can handle heat, you’ll enjoy all 12 ounces of it.
This beer is seasonally available in CO, NE, NM, FL, MO, TX and LA.

Then, of course, there are those corner-airlock doors that aren't big enough for one person to stand in and open the second door, let alone two...

The bilberries are ripe on the top of Cavehill — and this evening you can join the harvest.
The Belfast Hills Partnership has organised a walk to the top of the hill to eat these delicious wild berries that have been ripening all summer despite the rain.
The walk takes place at Cavehill Country Park's Upper Hightown Road car park from 7-9pm.
Participants are asked to wrap up warm, wear sturdy walking boots and bring drinking water. Price £1 for adults. Children go free. Not suitable for very small children due to the walk which can be steep in places.

Wales wing wizard Shane Williams has only a "50-50" chance of being fit to weave his magic against England tomorrow.
That will be music to the ears of England boss Martin Johnson, whose under-performing squad arrived in Cardiff today for the RBS 6 Nations showdown.
Williams is battling to recover from an ankle injury suffered during Wales’ tournament-opening victory over Scotland last weekend.
Wales head coach Warren Gatland hopes to make just one change from that successful Murrayfield mission, having recalled fit-again captain Ryan Jones instead of blindside flanker Dafydd Jones.
But Scarlets wing Mark Jones, who has not played since undergoing appendix surgery last month, is on full alert to replace Williams, while Dafydd Jones could rapidly reappear off the replacements’ bench if number eight Andy Powell is sidelined by a calf muscle strain.
Powell pulled up in training yesterday, although fears about his prospects are considerably less than those for current world player of the year Williams.
Gatland said: "We have given Shane until (today) because he’s a bit of a talisman for us.
"I think he had 20-odd touches against Scotland last weekend, which for a wing is pretty exceptional. He is the biggest concern - he’s probably 50-50. Andy is probably 90-10 in favour of being fit. It’s just a tightness of the calf, and hopefully it will ease up for tomorrow’s captain’s run."
Mark Jones, despite a chronic shortage of rugby since Christmas, will be promoted from outside the match-day 22 to win his 44th cap if Williams is ruled out.
Williams has scored a Welsh record 45 tries in 62 Tests and was last season’s leading Six Nations finisher.
Wales are chasing a hat-trick of Six Nations wins against England for the first time, but their fearsome attacking edge would be blunted to a degree without the mesmeric Ospreys star.
Gatland, who did not consider centre Gavin Henson due to his ongoing recovery from a calf muscle problem, accepts England are currently "quite hard to read".
After a dismal autumn series that produced comprehensive defeats against South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, England at least launched their Six Nations campaign by scoring five tries to beat Italy, even if it proved a painfully laboured display.
Wales have been installed as red-hot favourites to dispatch England at the Millennium Stadium, making it two wins out of two before tackling France in Paris later this month. Gatland though is well aware about the dangers of people writing England off.
"How many times has it happened in the past where people have rocked up to see a Welsh team expecting to win, and they’ve gone away disappointed?" he said.
"If we play to our potential, we’ve got a good chance of winning, but there are two teams involved here.
One team is smarting from a lot of criticism of recent performances and a lot of criticism of the coaching set-up and stuff.
"I think they will come out really looking to put us under pressure.
"Their backs are to the wall, and if they come away from there, then not just us, but everyone, will get the old two fingers up and they can jump on the bus and go away pretty satisfied."

Flash and Animation
Editor
Flash Mobile Application Development For Dummies
Jodie O'Rourke's
Flash Mobile Application Development For Dummies
is the first book to supply needed information, not easily found on the web or in other books, about developing apps for Android and iOS .
For the last eight months, I've been researching how to create a storybook app in Flash
R
Professional. I have purchased many books about Flash and AIR
R
but they all seem to give the same information, falling short of supplying the critical information needed to create a performance optimized app in Flash Professional. I was able to find a little information on the Adobe
R
site and a few blogs, but nothing that completely covered this important topic.
Also, most of the Flash-related mobile development books available concentrate on using Flash Builder
R
to develop mobile apps and only touch on Flash Professional. This was very frustrating due to the high visual nature of a storybook application and Flash Builder's limitations in this area. Flash Professional is the best choice for apps that rely heavily on illustration, animation and user interaction.
Jodie O'Rourke's book, released a few days ago, not only concentrates on Flash Professional as the development environment but covers the advanced topics that will help you to optimize your application's performance. You will enjoy Jodie O'Rourke's subtle humor throughout the book as she discusses some very complicated topics in non-technical language with simple step-by-step instructions.
As you would expect, being a
For Dummies
book, the author starts with the basic topics from mobile-related terminology and what makes a good app to an introduction to the Flash Professional tools and workspace. Covering both the Android
R
and iOS
R
platforms, the sample project that you develop throughout the book is an arcade game called SpaceShipZapZap. You can try the game for free from the app stores and also download the source code from the Dummies website. As you build the app, the author shares her experience in app development and discusses how to avoid common pitfalls with good development decisions.
You begin by building a start screen for the game, using the Flash drawing tools. The author explains how she creates filter effects, such as drop shadows, without using those CPU hungry filters and how ActionScript code, such as bottlenecks, can become CPU problematic and how to avoid them in your code.
You use ActionScript to initialize the app and to create your alien fleet. But you can't have a game if the fleet just sits there. O'Rourke teaches animation basics from frame-by-frame animation and tweening to coding your animations with ActionScript and collision detection. She discusses how to create interaction, such as drag and drop, using event listeners and how to avoid performance problems such as event bubbling. She also explains how garbage collection works and discusses other performance aids such as using device fonts, object pooling and bitmap caching.
Of course, she also covers incorporating mobile features into your app, such as geolocation, SMS, calls, maps, multi-touch gestures and the accelerometer. She discusses the development considerations when using embedded audio/video versus the various ways to stream over the internet. She also covers how to collect user information with forms and the mobile keyboard and your storage/retrieval options.
Now that you have built the perfect app, you need to test it on a target device using the Flash testing tools and WiFi. She also covers how to test your app in Device Central and Flash Builder and discusses how to set up your app for Ad Hoc testing with multiple testers. Finally, she covers what is needed to submit your app to both the Android and iOS app store.
Although this book concentrates on Flash Professional, the author includes a chapter on creating and testing an RSS reader app in Flash Builder. The Part of Tens section includes tips on performance optimization, pleasing the app user and app store success.
Jodie O'Rourke is an Adobe Certified Flash and Flex Platform Expert and Adobe Community Professional specializing in Flash, Flex and AIR development.
*I purchased this book with my own funds.

The oil is made from a wild Rose (Rosa Affines Rubiginosa) that grows high up in the Chilean Andes. South American women have been using the oil for centuries for its rejuvenating and anti-aging skin properties. Rio Rosa Mosqueta Oil is made from oil extracted from the Rose Hips collected from the wild Roses.
The oil is cold pressed to preserve the Essential Fatty Acids. The Rose Hip oil contains more Gamma Linoleic Acid than Evening Primrose oil, Borage oil or Blackcurrant Seed oil. Omega 3 & 6 and a natural form of vitamin A (Trans-Retinoic Acid) are also found in this Rose Hip oil.
The Rose Hip oil is a pale yellow colour. It has no particular odour and it leaves no greasy residue on the skin. Just a small amount is needed to leave the skin feeling soft and hydrated.
I tried this product because the skin creams I had been using were causing irritation of my skin. Everything I tried felt sticky or slimy and my skin would itch and become very dry. Some products caused rashes on my face. So I started looking for natural products with no added chemicals and I came across the Rio Rosa Mosqueta Oil website.
Rio Rosa Mosqueta Oil
The oil is one hundred per cent natural and lays claims to dramatically reducing all visible scars, stretch marks, sun damaged skin and helps reduce the signs of aging. This is too good to be true I thought to myself but I purchased my first bottle none the less.
I have use the oil on my face, neck and hands nearly every day for three months. The first thing I noticed was a change in the texture of my skin, it felt like velvet. After a few weeks of using the oil I noticed that the small brown patches I had on my cheeks were beginning to fade, as were similar patches on the backs of my hands. After three months they have almost disappeared.
I have several small scars on my body as a result of operations and accidents so I thought I would try the oil on these. One particular scar on my leg has definitely faded.
As for the anti-aging claim, I have had comments that my face looks fresher but my frown line is still frowning at me. The tiny lines around my lips and eyes are less noticeable and a male friend commented that I looked the best he had seen me for a long while!
I have requested and received a free sample of the new Rio Rosa Mosqueta Day and Night Cream to try. I was expecting a sachet but the Rio Rosa team sent me a whole pot. It is made of the same frosted glass with the pink embellished logo and contains 50ml of thick, organic, pale yellow cream which has a very slight nutty aroma that fades once applied.
Since applying it my skin feels deliciously soft. I had thought while using the oil that sometimes I just wanted to slap a huge dollop of cream on my face to rehydrate it and this cream does the trick. It is luscious and non-greasy and my face feels supple and hydrated.
Rio Rosa Mosqueta Cream is made from natural essential oils and organic ingredients. It is conserved with Salicylic Acid and Sodium Benzoate.
Rio Rosa Mosqueta Cream
I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to use natural, organic ingredients in their skin care routine. I am never going back to artificial, chemical ridden potions that cost a fortune and do not do what it says on the jar.
Well done Rio Rosa Mosqueta Oil, I think it lives up to its claims and I intend to continue to purchase these Rose Hip oil products.

A Girl Like Che Guevara shows the hierarchy of being a teenager from a Cuban perspective. The author, Teresa de la Caridad Doval, calls her book, "A little dirty piece of life in Cuba." She's right. At one point I thought the camp should be called Sex-in-the-fields. There's a lot of abuse, via bullying and food rations to go along with the dirt. Like the dirt Lourdes describes while she stitches away her days in the sewing shacks: "a film of dust covered our lips while our stomachs growled with repressed hunger."
Lourdes' job involves sewing the tobacco leaves onto dried sticks. This was considered the women's work while the boys worked in groups picking the leaves and finding the perfect sticks. Hundreds of students were supervised by a few teachers, some reliable and some not so reliable.
The night before leaving for camp Lourdes cuddles her little Russian dolls and wishes she didn't have to go, that she "could preserve for a little longer the rosy illusions of childhood." The transition from child to young woman is not a new theme but to read about it in the confines of post revolution Cuba is. Cuba has suffered a rich history of upheaval and to witness the growth of a little girl into a woman during the harshness of this back drop is endearing and educational. I really had no background on Cuba, Che Guevara or tobacco fields. It was an eye opener. Teresa handles it beautifully, with respect and without attempting to deliver a history lesson. I was lost on some of the political references but it didn't take away from the story.
Racial politics is everywhere. Lourdes came from a mulatto (mixed) mother and a white father. She considers herself "plain, too white to be a genuine black, too dark to be a true white," and fantasizes about being as white as the women in the Russian magazines she reads. Other strong themes are family, loss, friendship, religion, culture and community, as well as sexuality. Homosexuality is frowned upon by the communist party but Lourdes suddenly finds herself in love and yearning for her bed buddy.
I was annoyed by the continued "Fat" Olga descriptions after the initial introduction. Fat Olga this, Fat Olga that. There was more to Olga than being fat. Sometimes I stumbled on the mingled Spanish and English but mostly I enjoyed Teresa's visions, like the contrast of evenings and nights, work and play: "Eternity was no longer an abstract concept for us. The evenings were long carpets of apathy which had to be trod under the lethargic surveillance of wearied teachers. But at night the rhythm changed. Hours flew. Minutes became nanoseconds."
This is an entertaining story and a look into an interesting culture, often ignored. I recommend reading it.

After being the smallest school in Class 2A, in terms of enrollment, for the past two years and one of the smallest for the past six, just about everybody in the city of Blaine - or at least the Blaine High School athletic department - welcomed a move down to Class 1A during the latest reclassification cycle this year.
Everybody, that is, except runner Tom Bradley.
"It's kind of a bummer to lose the competition with the guys we've been running with the past four years," Bradley said in a phone interview. "We won't get a chance to race against those 2A guys that we've built rivalries with over the years. I wanted a little redemption for those guys beating me last year."
By "those guys" Bradley was specifically talking about Sehome seniors Conner Johnsen and Reed Henderson and defending 2A state champion Patrick Gibson.
"Tom loves racing the best," Blaine cross country coach Carey Bacon said. "It's what drives him. He feels he races his best when he's racing the best."
But don't worry too much about Bradley getting lonely in the 1A ranks.
He's still got old rival Dillon Quintana from Mount Baker hot on his heels, and the two of them turned in a another classic battle on Saturday, Oct. 27, at the Class 1A Tri-District Meet in Tacoma - a race Bradley won by just 5 seconds.
"It's great having Dillon down here," Bradley said. "He's great competition. He'll keep me from slacking off."
Not that Bradley is the type to slack off - in fact, he's exactly the opposite.
"Tom is getting everything he deserves," Bacon said. "He's earned it all. He's done an enormous amount of work. If you look over his entire high school career, he's invested a lot of time and sweat equity. It's exciting to see it coming around for him."
In addition to winning last week's tri-district title in 16 minutes, 2.1 seconds, Bradley won the Northwest Conference Championship crown in 15:21.93 - a time that still stands as the best at 5 kilometers in the state.
Not only that, Bradley got the pleasure of beating out Gibson in their final high school cross country race together, along with all the other seniors he's grown up racing against.
"That was really neat," Bradley said. "I love running against Patrick and those guys. I think it was good to show how good the 1As are going to be this year, and it's always good to get the last one. Patrick is an amazing competitor, and I think he had the course record, and I broke that, too. To end my high school conference career with a win and a new record, it made me extremely happy."
Perhaps not quite as happy as he was to help Blaine qualify its first team for state last week.
Besides running the top time in the tri-district, Bradley had a huge hand in recruiting enough talented runners - many from Blaine's soccer team - to help the Borderites get through to state with a fifth-place finish.
"This year, we've put so much emphasis on the team," Bradley said. "Dropping down to 1A, we knew we would have a chance. 2A is just so competitive in this district, especially with only three teams going through. I think they had six teams ranked in the top 10 in the state. That's just crazy. This last year, I've been recruiting a lot of my friends, too. For my senior project, I held summer practices and helped coach those guys through the summer and get them some mileage."
While Bradley was focusing on increasing the mileage of his teammates to get them ready, the senior that has long been known for running miles and miles each week during the summer, found different ways to prepare for the season - mainly improving his strength in the weight room.
"This year, I've been lifting weights for the first time," Bradley said. "We're starting to do a lot more drills and lifting stuff. It's something I hadn't done before, and it's made a giant difference. Before this year, I was just increasing my mileage, which increases my chances of injury."
Combine Bradley's improved strength with his hard work and determination and add in his race smarts, and it's no wonder Bradley has to be considered one of the favorites to claim the 1A individual title this year.
"His sense of race pace is really, really good," Bacon said. "He knows how fast he is going. His internal clock, in terms of time, is really good. Now that he's stronger, he's not afraid to get out front and push the pace. ... All year long, Tom has been near the front, if he's not leading. That takes mental toughness to do, because you don't want to push it too hard too early. But Tom knows exactly what he's doing."
Bradley is looking forward to making up for what he described as a "difficult" 2A state meet last year, when he finished 47th with a time of 16:51.
If he can, he would like to show that he is capable of doing the same thing Gibson did last year and bring home an individual state title.
"I was looking at that recently," Bradley said. "It's pretty exciting. All of us have a great shot at doing something big. Me individually, Patrick individually and with his team. Those Sehome guys seem to be in great shape for a team title. It could be a really big day for Whatcom County."

Bemidji HS boys basketball team opens with Green Wave
The Bemidji High boys basketball team makes its season debut tonight, hosting East Grand Forks at 7:30 at the Field House.
The preliminaries begin at 5:45 with the freshman game in the Auxiliary gym and the B Team contest in the main gymnasium.
Bemidji shoots for another winning season this winter after going 16-10 in 2009.
That was the first year above the .500 mark since an identical finish in 2005.
Last year Bemidji put a blue collar team on the court that won through hard work and hustle much of the season.
Jeff Brown begins his eighth season at the helm with a guarded air of confidence.
"We're going to have to play end to end this year to win, play fast break basketball, guard full court and hope for numerous buckets in transition."
To do this, however, will depend on controlling the defensive boards.
And that could cause problems.
Much will depend on the play of senior Grant Richardson, the 6-5 football tackle who played on the JV last winter.
That team ended 15-9 under Steve Thompson.
Only three lettermen are back from 2009, seniors Czar Woods (9.9) and Dan Frost (1.9) and junior scoring leader Ryan Rude (13.4).
Rude was the team's Co-MVP and Woods the defensive MVP lat winter.
Three seniors move up from the JV to challenge for varsity roles, 6-2 forward Josh Kane and 6-1 guard Derres Martell, each in their sixth year in the program, and 6-11 Frank Mays, who took up the sport last winter for the first time and showed promise in limited playing time in 2009. His size could prove a major help if he develops.
Sophomore Carey Woods was the B Team's scoring leader last winter and is likely to be again at the varsity level this year
Other regulars from the B Team are Mitch Brown, Zach DeClusin and Cody Rutledge, Brown and Rutledge only sophs.
Juniors from that team moving up include Harley Kroening, and Ben Hengel.
Starters tonight will be Richardson at center flanked by Rude and Frost on the baseline with the Woods brothers outside with Kroening, Kane, Rutledge and Brown the top reserves.
The Jacks drop to Section 8-3A this year for the first time where their major foes will include Little Falls, Apollo, Sauk Rapids and Rocori along with Thief River and Detroit Lakes.
A complete team preview appeared in yesterday's Winter Sports tab.

Deer River woman pleads guilty to stealing vehicle titles, fees
A 51-year-old Deer River woman pleaded guilty Monday to theft of more than $100,000 in public funds.
Sheila Marie Jerry entered the plea in Itasca County District Court and paid $112,734 in restitution. She will be sentenced at an April 30 court hearing.
According to the criminal complaint filed in the case, the Deer River clerk/treasure told an investigator that Jerry reported that she had taken thousands of dollars from her till over the course of five years as an employee of the state's Department of Motor Vehicle in Deer River.
Jerry told authorities that she obtained the title work and fees for new vehicles from a car dealer, and kept some of the paperwork and money for some titles.
In addition, Jerry said she had several titles in her vehicle or home. She said she stamped the title paper work but had not stamped the original copies that were later sent to the state, and kept the cash from the title transfers.
Law enforcement later obtained 10 vehicle titles from her vehicle and 63 from her home, and associated fees of more than $99,000, for vehicles sold between last March 31 and Sept. 29.

Election Notebook: Court challengers face uphill climb
ST. PAUL — Challengers to Minnesota Supreme Court justices say their job is tough.
Obstacles challengers point out include restrictions on collecting donations, making campaigns tough to fund against better-known incumbents. Also, the would-be justices say that just already being in office carries several advantages, including “incumbent” printed by their names on the ballot and an easier time raising money as a sitting justice.
“It has been 66 years since an incumbent judge has lost an election,” said Dean Barkley, who has lost races for Congress in the Independence Party and is making his first bid at judicial office against Justice Barry Anderson.
Challengers in all three races say the current system is stacked in favor of incumbents. In most cases, judges and justices retire in the middle of their terms. That leaves it up to the governor to appoint replacements, who as sitting judges may have an advantage when they come up for election.
Chief Justice Lorie S. Gildea and Justice Barry Anderson have run before, while Justice David Stras, in office just two years, is in his first campaign.
Stras probably speaks for all the candidates in saying: “I feel like I am working two jobs.”
Tim Tingelstad pointed to a problem he has in working from his Bemidji home, as does Gildea opponent Dan Griffith of International Falls: “It’s a long ways down to the population center.”
While Tingelstad said that many northern Minnesotans may know him, others do not.
Another incumbent advantage is support from fellow lawyers. The Minnesota Bar Association surveys members and this year, like usual in the past, the incumbents drew far more support.
Stras and Anderson received 82 percent and 83 percent support, respectively, while Gildea won 93 percent approval.
There is a disagreement about whether being involved with political parties is allowed, or even is a good thing. While a Minnesota case that reached the U.S. Supreme Court opened judicial campaigns up for more political discussion, just how much of that is allowed remains in dispute.
Challengers such as Tingelstad have sought the Republican Party endorsement. The party’s platform calls for judicial endorsements, but none came this year.
Justice salaries are $145,981 for each of six years in a term.
GOP blamed in Eken race
The Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Friday filed a complaint that the Republican Party broke the law by making false statements about a candidate’s voting record.
The DFL says Republicans distributed campaign literature incorrectly saying Rep. Kent Eken, a Democrat running for the state Senate, voted to raise a fee senior citizens pay for nursing home care.
Democrats called on the Office of Administration Hearings to penalize the GOP for making false statements, which is against state campaign laws.
Republicans distributed a new piece of literature when informed the Eken claim was wrong.
“We goofed,” the literature says. “Kent Eken did not vote to raise the fee seniors pay for nursing home care.”
Then the Republican material goes on to say: “Instead, Eken voted to raise the cost we pay for hospital care and health insurance.”
GOP Executive Director Ben Zierke said the party looked into the vote after Eken disputed the original literature during a debate.
“It was an honest mistake on that vote,” Zierke said, and the party sent the “we goofed” piece out as soon as possible after fact-checking the first piece. “There is no question that he did not vote for the tax.”
Democrats probably would not have known about the mistake if Republicans had not send the follow-up flier, Zierke added. “We owned up to it.”
DFL Chairman Ken Martin said the GOP apology does not fix the earlier law violation.
“Their ads were blatantly false, and we filed a complaint today because these dishonest tactics cannot be allowed to go unchecked,” Martin said Friday. “The attacks against Kent Eken amount to a smear campaign. It’s not even a distortion of the truth, it’s an outright lie.”
Eken is running for Senate in a district around Moorhead and Detroit Lakes against former Buffalo Bills star Phil Hansen, a Republican.
Kriesel in commercial
State Rep. John Kriesel’s dramatic speech in the Minnesota House opposing a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage is featured in a television commercial.
The Cottage Grove lawmaker joined Rep. Tim Kelly of Red Wing as the only two Republicans to vote against the amendment, which will be in front of voters Nov. 6. Kriesel is retiring when his term ends in early January.
In the speech, Kriesel recounted when a bomb exploded in Iraq, causing injuries that eventually cost him his legs.
“I was in an incident and I nearly died,” Kriesel said. “I remember laying there, looking down and seeing my legs mangled. I thought about my family.”
He recounted the story of Cpl. Andrew Wilfahrt, a soldier from Rosemount, who was killed in Afghanistan last year.
“He gave his life in Afghanistan protecting our freedoms,” Kriesel said. “He was gay. I cannot look at this picture and say, corporal, you are good enough to fight for your country and give your life, but you are not good enough to marry the person you love.”
After his May 2011 speech, opponents of the amendment greeted Kriesel as a hero when he left the House chambers.
Nov. 6 registration available
Minnesotans who have not registered to vote or updated their addresses, still may do so on election day.
“Minnesotans should use the online voter registration lookup at to see if their registration is current,” Secretary of State Mark Ritchie said. “Voters who are already registered to vote at their address do not need to bring additional documentation with them to their polling place. However, eligible voters who plan to register on Election Day must provide proof of residence.”

Lack of wind strands balloon over St. Croix River
AFTON, Minn. -- Things couldn’t have been more still or calm that Sunday evening above the St. Croix River in Afton – and that’s exactly what raised a commotion.
Dead air in the St. Croix valley caused a hot air balloon loaded with 15 people -- who also remained calm -- to stall directly over the river at 7:50 p.m. Aug. 11.
“The balloons are at the mercy of the wind, and, well, there was no wind,” said Jim Gribble, a sergeant with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
When deputies approached the scene with a boat, the balloon was about 5 feet above the water. Officers towed the balloon, owned by Stillwater Balloon, to St. Croix Beach, where all passengers got out safely.

WASHINGTON — victories and losses often are scored based on the overall impressions candidates leave with voters.
In the history books, though, small moments often end up telling the broader story.
Think of 73-year-old Ronald Reagan’s pledge not to exploit his opponent’s youth. Or John McCain’s dismissive reference to Barack Obama as simply “that one."
A look back at some of the best and worst exchanges from presidential debates.
Ronald Reagan
“I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.".’ "
Lloyd Bentsen
“Senator, you are no Jack Kennedy."
George H.W. Bush’s pick for vice president, fresh-faced Sen. Dan Quayle of Indiana, got multiple questions about his preparedness to assume the office during a 1988 debate.
“I want to take you back to the question that I asked you earlier about what would happen if you were to take over in an emergency, and what you would do first and why," moderator Brit Hume told Quayle. “You said you would say a prayer, and you said something about a meeting. What would you do next?"
“I don’t believe that it’s proper for me to get into the specifics of a hypothetical situation like that," Quayle replied.
Moderator Tom Brokaw later pressed Quay."
“Three times that I’ve had this question," a frustrated Quayle said before teeing up a rehearsed answer.
“I have far more experience than many others that sought the office of vice president of this country. I have as much experience in the Congress as Jack Kennedy did when he sought the presidency."
Quayle’s Democratic rival, Texas Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, pounced: “Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you are no Jack Kennedy."
“That was really uncalled for, Senator," replied Quayle.
“You are the one that was making the comparison, Senator," Bentsen shot back. “And I’m one who knew him well."
Bentsen, running mate to Michael Dukakis, scored the win in that debate, but the Democrats nonetheless lost the election to Bush.
John McCain
“That one."
McCain’s campaign was on the ropes when he faced Obama for a second debate in 2008. He had suspended his campaign the previous month to rush back to Washington and address the Wall Street crisis. But he came off as unprepared to handle the economy, suddenly voters’ top concern. Polls showed McCain was slipping behind. And his on-the-ground operations were badly lagging Obama’s.
So when Brokaw asked McCain about government-funded energy innovation, McCain saw his chance to take a detour and paint Obama as a spend-happy Washington insider.
“By the way, my friends, I know you grow a little weary with this back-and-forth. It was an energy bill on the floor of the Senate loaded down with goodies, billions for the oil companies, and it was sponsored by (President George W. Bush) and (Vice President Dick) Cheney. You know who voted for it? You might never know," McCain said, gesturing to his rival.
“That one."
And that was a turnoff for many voters.
Gerald Ford
“There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe."
During his 1976 debate against Democrat Jimmy Carter, President Ford seemed to ignore the political reach of the Soviet Union, so much so that the debate moderator did a double-take. Republicans and Democrats alike recognized that Eastern Europe was largely under Soviet influence but the United States strongly opposed any efforts that would take the land and put it within their borders.
“There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe and there never will be under a Ford administration," Ford said.
“I?" asked Max Frankel of The New York Times.
Carter, who went on to defeat Ford, challenged the president’s views on Eastern Europe.
“I would like to see Mr. Ford convince the Polish-Americans and the Czech-Americans and the Hungarian-Americans in this country, that those countries do not live under the domination and supervision of the Soviet Union behind the Iron Curtain," Carter said.
Body Language
Watches, sighs and eye rolls.
Sometimes, the most memorable moments are wordless.
Take the first President Bush in 1992. The incumbent looked down at his watch as a voter asked a question about the struggling economy during a town hall-style debate, suggesting he was bored with the whole thing.
Bush lost his re-election bid to Clinton.
Vice President Al Gore sent an over-the-top message of impatience during his 2000 debate with then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush with a series of loud, overwrought sighs.
Gore also overdid his incredulity toward some of Bush’s claims during their first debate.
The vice president rolled his eyes, a move that his staff — and America — instantly recognized as problematic. Before the next debate, Gore’s aides made him watch a “Saturday Night Live" skit mocking his performance.
Course correction was not enough. Gore lost to Bush.

The Ohlone Dog Park sits atop the BART tracks along Hearst Street at Grant. It is about an acre of land fenced off to allow a free run for Berkeley’s canine community. Dog owners – sorry, guardians – get to sit in the park and chat while the pooches run and play and sniff and scratch. Some run and play; others sniff and scratch. This is a putative city-run facility but the users do most of the clean-up and maintenance.
Needless to say, the City has no money for proper seating at the Ohlone Dog Park. There are a couple aging picnic benches with attached seating. When one approached total disintegration due to age and exposure to the weather, one of the regular park users, not the City, provided a new one.
There was still too little seating, but occasionally someone would drop off an old patio chair and, after a while, some eight or ten chairs accumulated. Seeking a more permanent solution, the Ohlone Dog Park Association, an organization of a couple dozen park regulars, recently bought ten sturdy metal chairs for the park. With little help, but no interference from the City, the seating problem at the park was addressed over time by the users themselves — at least until recently.
A few weeks ago, Parks Superintendent Susan Ferrera informed the Association that loose chairs were not allowed and had to go. Under threat of forced confiscation of the chairs by the City, the Association removed the metal chairs. The City apparently confiscated the remaining plastic chairs as they too are now gone.
Sympathetic to the problem, Ms. Ferrera e-mailed that a design process to begin in the fall would address the seating issue. Now literally left standing, the park users will likely have to wait a year to sit down again. At that time, the City will provide some undetermined quantity of seating, firmly anchored to the ground because, supposedly, it is safer that way.
I have lived in Berkeley for almost 50 years and have frequented the Ohlone Dog Park regularly since getting a dog about four years ago. I have seen some pretty silly stuff in Berkeley over the years, but the removal of chairs from the dog park is way up there on the list. The park users are perfectly capable of individually making a decision, without the guidance of City bureaucrats, as to which outdoor furniture they feel provides a reasonable level of personal safety. They do not need or desire City guidance in this matter.. The supposed greater liability is presumptive and the risk assumable at little or no cost.
This silliness is the nanny-state at its worst. The City cannot, or will not, provide chairs at a park where people routinely spend an hour or more and, when the park users dealt with this dearth of seating by buying their own, the all-knowing, all wise bureaucrats literally confiscated the seating leaving park users, many old and some infirm, literally standing around.
The park without chairs is about half as useful as with them. The insufficient seating which remains cannot be oriented to gain or avoid direct sunlight; users cannot join a group discussion by pulling up a chair; nor can one isolate oneself away from others to read a book without distraction.
All the users of the park seemed quite happy with things as they were. I, for one, wish the City of Berkeley would expend their nanny-state energies somewhere else. We do not need their help and guidance in this situation..

PITTSFIELD -- City firefighters on Tuesday afternoon quickly extinguished a fire at the Colonial Gardens apartment complex on Route 8 near the Dalton town line.
The fire was reported around 2:40 p.m. in a second floor apartment of Building 5, according to fire officials at the scene.
"A contractor working in the apartment drilled a hole through the wall and hit an electric cable starting the fire in the wall," said Fire Chief Robert Czerwinski.
The lone person in the apartment at the time and two cats escaped unharmed.
Czerwinski said firefighters quickly knocked down the fire, which was confined to the apartment. The unit sustained smoke, water and fire damage.

At some point falling apart must be seen as giving up and that appears to be what Coakley and the Democrats are doing. Despite the election being tomorrow, this was the scene at a Coakley phone bank.
Video embedded below.
"across the street at the Massachusetts Teachers Association,."
No such stories were reported for Brown's phone banks. Indeed the opposite has been reported (see following the poll graphic).
Even Chris Matthews (MSNBC) appears resigned to a Coakley (D) loss and a Brown (R) win and acknowledges that it is a vote against the healthcare overhaul.
Video embedded below.
This graph shows just how far the election has swung.
Picture embedded below.
Regarding Brown's phone banks;
"The MTA phone banks are not in the heavy snow area. Out here in Littleton we got about 8 to 10 inches of heavy wet snow. ALL phones have been manned all morning in the Scott Brown, Littleton office on Stevens St.."

» Fourteen: Final Exam, Last Dive and a Happy BirthdayThe day started with a hardy breakfast and the final exam (the breakfast was good and hopefully so was the exam). After two fun-filled hours of writing, everyone headed out for the last dive of the trip. It was a spectacular drift dive with lots to see. The afternoon was spent preparing for the evening presentations, which went very well. Then it was off to dinner, filet mignon again (oh well, someone has to eat it). After dinner we celebrated Kristin’s birthday and then everyone headed off to pack for our early morning departure.

"What is climate? Climate is commonly thought of as the expected weather conditions at a given location over time. People know when they go to New York City in winter, they should take a heavy coat. When they visit the Pacific Northwest, they should take an umbrella. Climate can be measured as many geographic scales - for example, cities, countries, or the entire globe - by such statistics as average temperatures, average number of rainy days, and the frequency of droughts. Climate change refers to changes in these statistics over years, decades, or even centuries. Enormous progress has been made in increasing our understanding of climate change and its causes, and a clearer picture of current and future impacts is emerging. Research is also shedding light on actions that might be taken."

BBS Rescue Spotlight: The Mia Foundation
BestBullySticks.com had the great opportunity to speak with Sue Rogers, founder of The Mia Foundation. This great organization helps pets with birth defects that no one else will take. Read on to learn about the inspiring Mia the Chihuahua and more amazing pet rescues.
When & Why did you start?
The Mia Foundation was established in April of 2012 after the death of our precious Chihuahua, Mia. This is her story.
My precious Mia was born with a cleft palate. Mia had several surgeries, (all of which had failed.) Although she was taken to the top Universities and to the top Veterinarians, she was given little hope of survival. I was told that euthanasia was best. I refused to give up on her and vowed to fight for her as long as she continued to fight. She was given a chance at life and even though her life was short-lived, she lived it to the fullest. She had to face many medical obstacles on her journey here, but she never let it overpower her love for life. Mia has inspired over 11,000 people from all over the world and continues to create Miracles every day.
Sadly, Mia passed away from pneumonia on April 11th, 2012 two months shy of her 2nd birthday. Her legacy lives on through The Mia Foundation which was created in her honor.
The Mia Foundation was developed to give animals born with birth defects a fighting chance. Mia was given a chance and in return gave so much love, hope and inspiration to people all around the world. I have come to realize that Mia was sent here to help us all in whatever way possible. She was brought to this earth to show us courage and unconditional love, she was here to bring loving, caring people together from all over the world and to teach us all to never give up no matter what obstacles we may face. She taught us to be brave, to be strong, and to smile in the face of adversity. Most importantly, she taught us all how to love unconditionally!!
Since her death, Mia's story has inspired people to adopt animals with birth defects that may have otherwise been overlooked or not given a chance at life and love. Mia has educated thousands of people from all walks of life on how to care for a special needs animal. She has raised awareness as to, "If they are born, they deserve a chance to live!!" Because of her strength, determination, love and will to live, she has enriched the lives of countless individuals. She had a zest for life unlike any I have ever seen. Her tiny paw left a huge imprint on so very many hearts.
Mia has shown us all that miracles really do exist. She changed the world with just one smile!! Read more

What you need to know about the best digital pocket camera. . .
What is the best digital pocket camera out in the market today? Not all users have the same requirements; in order to choose the right camera, it is important to make your choice based on what you plan to do with it.
First off, set a budget and narrow your search down to a price range that works for you. This will also largely dictate the features you can have along with the camera of your choice. Ask around or do a little research on what setting options you should be looking out for. Meanwhile, here is a list of basic things you should know to help you decide on the best digital pocket camera to match your requirements.
MEGAPIXELS. This is one of the main pitching points for salespeople and camera makers when they want to sell us their products. The greater the megapixel, the higher the resolution. A high resolution simply means that an image is produced at a high level of detail which results in a clearer, sharper and more realistic photograph. If you intend to print out images larger than 8x10, you’ll do well to go for 10 megapixels or higher. However, the everyday user will find the 5-6 megapixel cameras perfectly capable of taking good quality snapshots.
ZOOM CAPABILITY. This is the camera function that causes to magnify or draw the image closer. It enables you to shoot close-up portraits or capture distant sceneries or landscapes. A higher optical zoom number always equates to a better camera. Don’t scrimp on this feature because you can never have too much zoom.
LCD SIZE. A large LCD screen in a pocket size camera is definitely a plus factor. It allows you to properly frame your subject for better composition and a more memorable photo. It also makes it easier to review and edit photos when working with a larger screen. In this regard, I suggest that you go for a camera with a 2.5 inch LCD or higher.
SIZE. You would not have ended up on this page if you were already clear about what you wanted in the first place. So remember, it is possible to bundle both useful and practical features into a compact size. Do your homework and check out different camera brands. Most importantly, small cameras get shots that big cameras don’t. The portability and convenience of a smaller unit enables you to capture that perfect moment – fish it out of your pocket or purse and you’ll easily out-snap the bulky camera owner in the group! And lastly. . .
IT”S YOU, NOT YOUR CAMERA. This is the most important tip to remember. Do not assume that the best and most expensive camera will take the best photographs. Not true. It’s not the camera that takes the pictures but the person behind the lens. Pick up some digital photography tips. Study new techniques. Practice what you learn. Remember, it’s up to you to make yours the best digital pocket camera there is.

Ever since he first heard the opening chords to "Smells Like Teen Spirit," at the age of 11, Daniel Kohn has been hooked on music. Born in New York City, raised in the music hotbed of Long Island and currently residing in Los Angeles, Kohn has been writing since high school, when he realized he could get CDs for free. He's a sucker for '90s music, especially that from Seattle. Like a small minority of Americans, he likes football of the European variety, especially Liverpool. When he's not chasing down bands, you can find him at your local pub with a pint of Carlsberg, usually at ungodly hours cheering on his beloved Reds.

Hey Blake,
I heard it's the 75th anniversary of Huey Long's assassination, but I don't know why he was killed or whether he was a good guy or a bad guy. What do you say?
Confused in Uptown
Dear Confused,
Huey Long was shot 75 years ago this week. As to whether he was good or bad, opinions vary — as is often the case with powerful people.
Huey Pierce Long Jr. was born in Winnfield, La., in 1893. His populist political style won him many admirers among the disadvantaged but made him the scourge of the wealthy. He served as Louisiana governor from 1928 to 1932 and as a U.S. senator from 1932 until he was shot in 1935. He reportedly planned to run for president against Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936.
Nicknamed "The Kingfish" by friends (after a character on the radio show Amos 'n Andy), Long built a formidable political machine and ruled the state with an iron fist. He built his political empire on the idea that government should level the playing field between rich and poor — and that wealth should be redistributed toward that end.
With the country reeling from the Great Depression, Long in 1934 created his "Share Our Wealth" program, which called for the government to confiscate individual wealth in excess of $5 million (or an individual's income in excess of $1 million) and redistribute it to the less fortunate. As governor, he launched massive public works projects for bridges, roads, hospitals (including Charity Hospital in New Orleans) and colleges (most notably expanding LSU and building the LSU Medical School in New Orleans).
Long began his political career at age 25, when he was elected to the Louisiana Railroad Commission, a precursor to the Public Service Commission. He had a flair for politics and for innovation. He was the first Southern politician to use radio addresses and sound trucks while stumping for governor in 1924. He lost that race but was re-elected to the PSC, then ran successfully for governor in 1928 with a campaign slogan, "Every man a king, but no one wears a crown."
As governor, Long required state employees to pay a portion of their salaries directly into his political war chest, nicknamed the "deduct box." During his tenure, he gave schoolchildren free textbooks, instituted night courses that taught 100,000 adults to read, provided cheap natural gas to New Orleans and began his public works programs. He also bullied anyone who stood in his way, sometimes ruthlessly.
He was impeached by the Louisiana Legislature in 1929 but dodged conviction via a now-infamous device known as the round robin. It took two-thirds of the state Senate to convict him, so his allies got more than one third to sign a document pledging not to convict him no matter what the evidence against him might be. He then extended his power over all of state government and several local governments, including New Orleans. In the U.S. Senate, Long's political views (and popularity among the poor) reportedly pushed President Roosevelt farther to the left and inspired many New Deal programs.
Though busy nationally, Long continued to control state government. He was in Baton Rouge on Sept. 8, 1935, to oversee a special legislative session when he allegedly was shot by Dr. Carl Austin Weiss, whose father-in-law, Judge Benjamin Henry Pavy, had been gerrymandered out of his district as payback for opposing Long. Weiss was shot 32 times by Long's bodyguards and died. Long died two days later in a Baton Rouge hospital. He is buried beneath a massive monument that faces the State Capitol, which he built in record time.
Even today, 75 years after his death, Long casts quite a shadow over Louisiana politics — and he continues to spark heated political debates.

11. "Am-A-Do"
A romantic gem hidden amid the political and spiritual anthems that make up most of the 1974 masterpiece Natty Dread, "Am-A-Do" finds Marley slyly switching back and forth between lovey-dovey and freak-deaky, cooing "you're in the bottom of my heart" on the verse before talking dirty on the hook with the I-Threes.

Mark your calendars!
In a press release that just went out, we’ve announced the release dates for Brink (May 17th in North America, May 20th in Europe) and Hunted: The Demon’s Forge (June 1st in North America, June 3rd in Europe). The two games complete our Class of 2011 lineup, which also includes join RAGE (September 13th in North America, September 16th in Europe) and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (November 11th worldwide).
For more information, read the full press release below… ‘Lock.
Australian release date??
Australian release date for Brink??
For brink??
For those wondering, the release dates for Australia are the same as Europe.
Hey!
Where is the Macintosh platform?
Not so multi about platforms for which this games was made.
The best news!Now my calendar is officially the best read for 2011!lol
Rock on Beth.I love you people.
I am REALLY looking forward to RAGE, also looking forward to Skyrim.
Liam — it’s the 20th (for the purposes of releases, Australia is classified as a European territory)
Macs most likely have to rely on Steam.
I’m so excited for Brink!
Hey, I noticed you guys posted the PS3 packaging covers on your blog. Where’s the Xbox 360 love? lol Just kidding. I’m glad everyone is having a chance to play your games. You guys are the best!
You delayed the release date 2 times, I don’t know how to say this any way around so I will say it flatly:
Are you guys sure you can actually release the game on your release date this time?
@Boudewijn — we did move the “release window” twice, but this is our first official release date. We feel pretty good about it.
Nice work, Brink releases the same day as L.A. Noire. Tell me how the works out for your sales.
i am displeased with the waiting. Brink is gunna rock.
God bless you. only one day before my B-Day!!! cant wait for brink
Why do America get the release earlier than the UK? are you not a UK company?
why do you keep putting the release dates back. because first late 2010 people then got excited for that and then it was brought back. then march 25th people also then got excited for that, again it does not come. finally may 20th (in europe) it is set for release. if it gets put back again i’m not buying it i will wait for BC3.
Hey, what are the system requirements for BRINK on PC???
No dedicated servers for consoles and america get the release earlier, splitting people with cheap pre-order DLC. I expected more from you beth. Laggy P2P multiplayer with US advantage as per usual, sad choice.
For everyone complaining about release date changes, just think…it’s far better for a product to be pushed back than to release an inferior version of the game. If the developers feel they need more time to make some finishing touches, then they should probably take some more time to finish it up.
All that is needed on this one is for it to freeze up too….JUST LIKE FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS!!!! Bethesda people if you are listening…. fix the freezing on this one PRIOR to releasing it.

Bethesda Group Hopes to Build MoCo Children’s Museum
A group of Bethesda residents hopes to build a children’s museum Montgomery County can call its own.
Cara Lesser, founder of the Kids International Discovery KID Museum organization, has been hosting focus groups of county parents and partnering in county-sponsored events to help develop the project.
Lesser, who for 20 years worked in health policy and who has two kids of her own, said she saw a need for educational and volunteer-based programming aimed at kids. She and three others are working to publicize the effort and raise money.
“I’ve seen from my professional life and my personal life that we need to do a lot more to cultivate kids’ curiosity about the world and their compassion,” Lesser said.
The museum would be “a little bit of a hybrid” between a traditional children’s museum and a science center, Lesser said. It would be aimed at kids age 6-12, a little bit older age group than most children’s museums with an emphasis on learning about other cultures and promoting volunteer activities.
A “Global Connections” exhibit would explore the culture of a rotating group of countries through cooking, crafts and storytelling. A hand-on science exhibit and “Kids in Action” space are also planned.
The group is working on an economic feasibility study with a consultant that would help determine a location. Bethesda is a possibility.
In partnering with Montgomery County on its World of Montgomery Festival this fall in Wheaton, the KID Museum was able to work closely with county staff that have expressed great optimism about the project. Lesser said the museum would likely be the result of a private-public partnership and the KID Museum is taking donations through its website.
Montgomery County Schools Superintendent Josh Starr has been a big supporter of the initiative and is on the group’s advisory board.
For more information on the KID Museum, visit its website.

March
I have had two great things happen in the last two weeks. I went to the NAEA ( National Art Educators Association) Conference and two of my sculpture are in a show at the b.j. spoke gallery in Huntington, NY.
"Spirals " by Beth Heit at b.j. spoke gallery
Sumi-e paintingThe convention was lots of fun. I saw some people I haven't seen in a long time and took some wonderful workshops. The workshops got me to thinking about new ways to improve my teaching. I also learned sumi-e brush painting.
The exhibit at b.j. spoke gallery consists of paintings, sculptures, collages, scratchboard, photography and even video. It is a good selection of high quality interesting work. I am happy to be part of it. It is up until the end of March

Is Twitter Losing Its Appeal to Marketers
Has Twitter lost it’s appeal to business owners as a Marketing Platform? I think so and here is my logic.
Twitter has become over saturated with a 1000 followers following another 1000 followers and your messages are becoming diluted if they are even being seen at all. It’s not the amount of people that you have following you but the amount of people that you market to have following them.
Here is the logic:
Let’s say you have 50,000 followers and they follow 1000 others. You send out a tweet and only a small percentage of those 50,000 are online at any given time. Your tweet will show up on a small percentage of those followers radar and even a smaller percentage will engage with the link either re-tweet it or follow the link themselves. As you see the problem is very clear. The more people that are added to the Twitter platform the more diluted your market will become and your tweets will just get lost in the crowd.

is tweet a twerp?
Craig, I truly agree with you. Even on FB- I will see someone have 4900 friends....and yet not getting closer to no more than 100 or 200.
I posted some positives to The Birdie Machine :...
and yet there is only a positive response when you can actually DIRECT MESSAGE an individual.
I have one friend that has 14,000+ tweeters...she didn't see my DM for a whole week! then bragged that she is building her biz, and and she has 14k followers and it is impossible for her to get back quickly.
Hmmmm, where is the logic in that?
This goes back to the point? Now that you've got my information, what are you going to do with me?...
Thank you for your courage to post this-it may put us on the hot spot, but it will help those who are using this form of marketing.
Much success to you my friend,
~ME~

Michaela,
I love being in the hot seat. Controversy creates buzz and buzz is what attracts followers. You can't lead from the back of the pack. It's hilarious when you talk about those that have 14k followers and they think they are building their business but their to busy getting followers to get back to a real prospect.
One lesson I learned early about DM's is that you can't delete them with your automated system without looking at each one of them first. I spend an hour each morning replying to re-tweets and DM's of value.
If you like being in the hot seat lets help each other succeed. I will follow your messages and reciprocate.
Hope I spelled that right.
To your success,
Craig

This is a list of articles, photography and other media work I’ve done as a freelance photographer/journalist during August 2012. I intend to continue writing freelance articles and do more radio interviews in the future. They will be linked to on a regular basis.
I’ve been involved with a time consuming local community event this month so didn’t spend as much time doing journalism work.
Online Reviews & Analysis
Technology Spectator: Google’s nexus of complaints on 1st August 2012. Google’s move into hardware may have impressed its fans, but it still has plenty to learn about logistics and keeping its customers happy.
Technology Spectator: Nexus 7 Review on 2nd August. The combination of a competitive price, premium quality hardware from ASUS and new Android 4.1 Jellybean software from Google, make the Nexus 7 the clearly superior seven inch tablet option on the market. Also syndicated to Business Spectator.
Technology Spectator: Australia’s role in the Mars Curiosity landing on 7th August. NASA’s Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (CDSCC) was crucial to the success of Mars Curiosity.
ABC Tech & Games: Nexus 7 tablet review on 14th August. Google’s release of its new Nexus 7 tablet is a break from the company’s standard practice, signalling its frustration with manufacturer partners in the Open Handset Alliance who have not managed to dent the market share of Apple’s iPad in any significant way.
At the end of August I visited Victoria to cover some automotive stories which I’ll write about in early September. This photo (courtesy of my friend Leigh Stark) is of me sitting in Ford Australia’s Virtual Reality 3D Car Simulator, viewing *inside* the car door lock.
Radio
13th August – BBC Birmingham Radio Breakfast Show – Australia Reflecting On London 2012 (2 Minute MP3)
Photojournalism
My favourites from the photos I took during August are:
From my Ken Duncan Panasonic Camera Testing 2 day trip on the Central Coast of NSW. It was the first time I’ve seen a Chameleon in real life
I had 2 hours spare during my trip to Victoria, which I spent taking photos of some of Melbourne’s famous Street Art such as the red dragon below.

by Pastor Steve Wohlberg
An Amazing Fact: (or "containers") and be raptured up to a spacecraft traveling behind the comet that would take them to a higher plane of existence. A message posted on their website stated that "Hale-Bopp's approach is the 'marker' we've been waiting for-the time for the arrival of the spacecraft from the Level Above Human to take us home to 'Their World' in the literal Heavens." They sincerely believed the comet marked their "graduation" from the Human Evolutionary Level. "We are happily prepared to leave 'this world'," wrote cult leader Marshall Applewhite (alias "Do"), who quoted selectively from the Bible and various episodes of Star Trek to support his teachings that they would be raptured to this invisible spacecraft.
All around the world, people are struggling to understand the Bible's end-time prophecies. Christians everywhere sense that Jesus Christ will soon return to planet Earth.
In the 1990s, Bible scholar Tim LaHaye and storyteller Jerry Jenkins teamed up to create a fascinating series of novels designed to make the book of Revelation more real to Christians today. Their first book, published in 1995, was simply called Left Behind. This single book sold so many copies that Barnes & Noble Bookstores voted it "One of the top ten best-selling books of the 20th century." USA Today has labeled it "Wildly popular-and highly controversial."
Because of this incredible response, LaHaye and Jenkins decided to expand their project into a sequence of 12 books. The Indwelling-The Beast Takes Possession, was listed as a New York Times Bestseller. The Mark-The Beast Rules the World, became an immediate runaway hit. Amazingly, the entire project is now being called "The best-selling series of all time." On February 2, 2001, Left Behind: The Movie, produced by Cloud Ten Pictures, is scheduled to open in theaters across America.
A Gripping Saga The story begins with the sudden vanishing of Christians into thin air, which is commonly called the rapture. The rest of mankind, having been left behind, suddenly wake up to the nightmare of a world gone mad. Mass confusion hits as unmanned cars veer out of control, pilotless planes crash, fires erupt, and total hysteria sweeps over the globe. "The disappearances" will usher the world into "a seven-year period called the Tribulation" (Tribulation Force, inside cover). In the midst of this universal panic, a mysterious and yet secretly evil Romanian man named Nicolae Carpathia (the Antichrist) rises to bring order out of chaos. "One of the most powerful and charismatic personalities ever" (Ibid., ix), Carpathia takes control of the United Nations. Discerning his inner wickedness is a brave host of new believers (a.k.a. the Tribulation Force) who are determined to resist his hypnotic power. Finally, this sinister world leader unveils his ultimate test of loyalty: the insertion of a high-tech biochip into the foreheads and hands of all people.
The Left Behind series follows the lives of certain fictitious characters who, having missed the rapture, are forced to struggle against the Antichrist, his global community, and ultimately against the enforcement of the mark of the beast.
Just as millions of Americans daily follow the lives of their favorite soap opera actors, even so millions of Christians are now following the lives of these imaginary Left Behind personalities as the saga continues to unfold. Even young people are being affected through a special version of Left Behind books just for kids, which includes a Tribulation Force Underground Kit.
Underneath the excitement and drama of this incredibly popular story, is it possible that something is just not quite right? Could it be that in the midst of Left Behind's focus on missing people, important Bible truths are also missing? If so, which ones? Paul wrote, "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
Accepted vs. Accurate The Bible certainly does teach the exciting truth that Jesus Christ will return for His people. Jesus Himself said, "I will come again, and receive you unto myself" (John 14:3). The clearest text in the Bible about the rapture is 1 Thessalonians 4:17. Countless Christians know it by heart, and it is cited in Left Behind: The Movie. Paul wrote that believers in Jesus Christ will someday be "caught up ... in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air" (1 Thessalonians 4:17). What we must do is to carefully examine the timing of the rapture, for this is a crucial issue.
According to Left Behind, the return of Jesus Christ actually takes place in two distinct phases. First, Jesus returns silently and secretly to catch away true believers. This begins the "seven-year period called the Tribulation." During the Tribulation, this diabolical man known as the Antichrist rises to enforce the mark of the beast. At the end of the Tribulation, our Lord returns visibly, which is called Christ's "glorious appearing."
Therefore, according to Left Behind, the rapture comes first, and then, seven years later, is the second coming of Jesus Christ at the end of the world. With minor variations, this scenario is now accepted by millions of Bible-believing Christians around the globe as an accurate picture of end-time events.
There are three mighty pillars that stand out in this teaching, and it is safe to say that the entire Left Behind project rests firmly atop each one of them.
We wish to follow Paul's counsel to "Prove all things" by carefully examining these pillars, in the light of Scripture, while watching out for any signs of structural cracks.
Perfect Timing Pillar 1 says that the rapture and the second coming do not occur simultaneously. Paul clearly states in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 that "We which are alive and remain shall be caught up." Although the exact word "rapture" doesn't appear anywhere in the Bible, the idea comes from those two words "caught up." A simple comparison of verse 17 with verse 15, which says, "We which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord," makes it very clear that believers will be "caught up" at "the coming of the Lord."
At this point, we must carefully examine what the Bible says about His coming. Will believers be caught up at a silent and invisible coming of the Lord before the Tribulation, as taught in Left Behind? Or will believers be caught up at the deafening "glorious appearing" of Jesus Christ at the end of the world?
Right in between verses 15 and 17, Paul wrote, "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump [or trumpet] of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first" (1 Thessalonians 4:16). Left Behind describes this as a silent and secret event, yet doesn't it sound rather loud and noisy? There is a shout, a voice, and a trumpet.
A long time ago, Jeremiah recorded a prophecy regarding the coming of the Lord that clearly parallels 1 Thessalonians 4:16. He).
Both Jeremiah and Paul describe a coming of the Lord during which there is a loud "voice" and "a shout." Jeremiah provides additional information by saying that the Lord will "mightily roar," and then he says that a "noise" shall be heard worldwide. None of this sounds like a silent and secret return of Jesus prior to the Tribulation.
A Thief in the Night Paul said this tremendous "day of the Lord" will finally arrive like "a thief in the night" (1 Thessalonians 5:2). Many interpret this to mean that Jesus will come like a silent thief to steal believers out of this world. Then cars will crash, planes will collide, sacked quarterbacks at football games will vanish, and babies will be missing from their cribs. The popular Christian film A Thief in the Night, which is similar to Left Behind: The Movie, also presents this perspective. Yet is this really what Paul is saying?
Again, let's take a closer look at Scripture. Paul wrote: ).
Do you see what Paul is saying? Jesus' coming as a "thief in the night" does not mean He will come quietly and invisibly to steal believers out of this world, as is taught in Left Behind. Rather, it means He will come unexpectedly, bringing "sudden destruction" upon the unsaved. It is not secret, only sudden. Notice again what Paul said: "But ye, brethren, are not in darkness that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness" (verses 4-5). Did you catch that? Jesus does not come as a thief in the night to believers, but only to those who are of the night. Will those who are "of the night"-that is, the unprepared-be given a second chance to be saved? Paul wrote, "They shall not escape" (verse 3).
The apostle Peter also wrote about this same return of Jesus Christ as a thief in the). According to Peter, this coming of Jesus Christ as a thief in the night is definitely not a silent and secret event that precedes a seven-year period of Tribulation. Rather, this day arrives suddenly, with "a great noise" (as also described by Jeremiah), and is clearly associated with the end of the world! A crack is forming in Pillar 1.
What about the rapture taking place "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye"? This is probably the second greatest text in the Bible now being used to support the idea of Christians vanishing prior to the Tribulation.).
Is Paul saying that believers will mysteriously vanish from the earth prior to the Tribulation, while their loved ones blink? Not at all! He is saying that the dead will be raised and their bodies will be changed "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye." But when will this "moment" take place? Paul's answer is clear. It will occur "at the last trump," when "the trumpet shall sound," at the end of the world. This is that very same "great sound of a trumpet" Jesus said would be heard at His second coming (Matthew 24:31)!
Pillar 1 is disintegrating.
Waiting Until It's Too Late As previously noted, Pillar 2 supporting the Left Behind project is the theory that those who miss the rapture will have during the Tribulation a second chance to be saved. This idea is dangerous because it leads some people to rationalize that "If the Bible is really true and if the rapture does take place, then I'll know for sure God is real. It may be tough, but I can still join the Tribulation Force during the seven years. Even if that Antichrist guy tries to kill me, I will resist the mark!"
While fostering this foolish attitude is certainly not the intent of the Left Behind authors, nevertheless, the secret rapture theory can easily lead people to adopt a "wait and see" philosophy, and thus put off making a decision to follow Jesus. Paul wrote that all who are not fully on the Lord's side when believers are "caught up" (1 Thessalonians 4:17) "shall not escape" (1 Thessalonians 5:3). As you can see, Pillar 2 has very serious problems.
Left Behind also teaches that the Church will not be here on earth for Armageddon. Is this true?
The word "Armageddon" appears only once in the Bible. It is found in Revelation 16, the great chapter describing the falling of the seven last plagues. Between the sixth and seventh last plagues, Jesus Christ thunders: "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon" (Revelation 16:15-16).
Did you catch that? Jesus is talking to the Church! While the seven plagues are falling, and right before the battle of Armageddon, Jesus Christ has not yet come as a thief! Therefore He must come like a thief at Armageddon, and that must be the time when He comes to gather His Church.
Paul used the language of the military when, like a commanding officer, he urged the soldiers of the cross to "Take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand" (Ephesians 6:13). How can we stand in "the evil day" if we have previously disappeared? Jesus Christ also said to the believers, "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake. … But he who endures to the end shall be saved" (Matthew 24:9, 13, NKJV). Paul also advised the church that "we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22).
Jesus will save His church-not from tribulation, but rather through it! Our Lord loves us and will strengthen us in the final times. That's why He promised: "I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world" (Matthew 28:20). We can trust Him in this.
What About the Seven Years? The Bible text that serves as the foundation for the entire seven-year Tribulation theory is Daniel 9:27, which is the very first verse quoted in Left Behind: The Movie. It says: "He shall confirm the covenant with many for one week; and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice ... to cease."
A day in prophecy represents a year (Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6), thus the period of "one week" actually represents seven years. Millions are now applying this to a future seven-year period of Tribulation. "He" is interpreted to be the Antichrist, who will make a covenant with the Jews during the Tribulation.
What many don't realize is that there is a more logical interpretation that has far more biblical support. It has been taught by many credible Bible scholars who have written respected commentaries that are now in the libraries of pastors across America. One example is the world-famous Matthew Henry's Bible commentary. It doesn't apply Daniel 9:27 to the Antichrist at all, nor does it apply the "one week" to a seven-year period of Tribulation after the rapture. Rather, it applies the prophecy to Jesus Christ, who, after three and a half years of loving ministry, died "in the midst of the week," which ultimately caused all animal sacrifices to cease!
Here's the quotation from Matthew Henry's famous commentary: "By offering himself a sacrifice once and for all he [Jesus] shall put an end to all Levitical sacrifices."1 Another excellent Bible commentary written by Adam Clarke says that during the "term of seven years" (Daniel 9:27), Jesus Christ would "confirm or ratify the new covenant with mankind."2 Here's one more from the much-respected Jamieson, Fausset and Brown commentary: "He shall confirm the covenant-Christ. The confirmation of the covenant is assigned to Him."3
Take a careful look at Daniel 9:27 itself. God's Word says, "He shall confirm the covenant with many for one week." Notice that Jesus Christ Himself said, "This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many" (Matthew 26:28, NKJV). A perfect fit! Both use the words "covenant" and "many."
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the One through whom "the covenant … was confirmed" (Galatians 3:17; see also Romans 15:8, NKJV). In the midst of the week, after three and a half years, Jesus gave His life for us, "causing the sacrifice to cease." He was the final Sacrifice. No more sacrifices are to be offered (Hebrews 10:12). Period.
In my earlier book, Exploding the Israel Deception, Chapter 5 is called "The 70th Week of Daniel Delusion." There I give many more solid reasons why Daniel 9:27 doesn't apply to the Antichrist at all, but to Jesus Christ alone.
The entire Left Behind idea of a seven-year period of Tribulation after the rapture may go down in history as the greatest evangelical misinterpretation of all time. The whole concept is like a gigantic bubble. Once Daniel 9:27 is correctly understood and the pointed pin of truth is inserted, "Pop goes the seven years!"
A Life-or-Death Matter I want to conclude by talking about Pillar 3, which states that true believers today will not have to face the Antichrist and the mark of the beast. It is right here that emotions fly and reason vanishes just as instantaneously as those disappearing Christians in Left Behind: The Movie. That's because the mysterious mark of the beast is a life-or-death matter. It concerns the destiny of the human soul. Admitting that the Church will still be on earth during the final great Tribulation means that Christians must someday face the Antichrist and the mark of the beast-issues over which they could lose their souls. Many people are deeply afraid of this, so they conclude there must be a secret rapture before the Tribulation. There just has to be!
A deep-seated fear of the mark plagues many people, though it need not be so. True Christians can learn a lesson from popular bumper stickers that say "Fear No Evil." We don't need to be afraid. We can trust in Jesus Christ, for He has promised, "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world" (Matthew 28:20). If the fictitious Tribulation Force in the Left Behind novels can overcome the Antichrist and the mark of the beast with God's help, then so can we!
For those who are unwilling to even reasonably consider this issue, no amount of Bible evidence will convince them. Like a triple-bolted door in downtown New York, they are closed to the facts.
The result? Truth is left behind.

Over the last two years I've cycled a fair bit along the Murrumbidgee River visiting the Travelling Stock Routes and Reserves, from the Frost Plains of the Northern Alps, across the Yass Plains and the SW Slopes and now into the Eastern Riverena. The TSRs north of Wagga were some of the most beautiful that I have visited especially at Eunony Lagoon/Broman Lagoon. Using the unformed roads and the traditional campsites on the TSRs is a most underutilized resource for touring cyclists. I have The Long Paddock, the atlas and directory of the TSRs in NSW ... which is a big help to finding these not often visited places.I liked the flat roads on the floodplains which was something I haven't experienced for many years ... and I liked it. I saw many roadies enjoying the back roads north of Wagga Wagga. More riders on a weekend than I would see in Canberra. Warren.

Try this He-Mans Tuna Noodle Casserole recipe, or contribute your own. "Seafood" and "Casseroles" are two of the tags cooks chose for He-Mans Tuna Noodle Casserole."This is really delicious. I add a bit of cream, a big spoonful of mayonnaise, some Old Bay seasoning, coarse ground pepper and some sherry. I use three cans of tuna. The kind packed in olive oil, drained of course. I also give the onions and the celery a very quick saute before mixing them in the sauce. I top it with crushed potato chips and lots of sharp cheddar cheese. Yum!" - ELAcook47

reports Reuters.
Reuters' story is based on a report in Chinese finance magazine Caijing, which quoted government sources as saying the studio would be formed with a consortium of Chinese media companies.
"DreamWorks Animation and the consortium would invest a total of $2 billion in the joint venture, DreamWorks East, over the next five years to produce animation for the Chinese market."
Caijing reported that CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg was in China earlier this month to discuss the plan with government officials there.

DreamWorks Animation in Talks to Build Shanghai Studio
Labels: DreamWorks, Jeffery Katzenberg
21 comments:
Makes sense, DreamWorks is big around those parts so it'd make sense for them at least to protect their properties as well as make some things for a local audience.
Dreamworks and Communism. What a pair! :D
It's like Pixar Canada, but in a worse country! (Did you know that Pixar Canada isn't too far from where "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" is made?)
You're not cool with Pixar Canada?
@Jordan: Careful what you say!
Mike's from Canada, you know ;-)
@Jordan
Cool! I love 'Friendship is Magic'. I guess now that they have Pixar and Ponies, that makes Canada about 20% cooler!
Mike, I don't think that's what Jordan meant. I don't really have an opinion about Pixar Canada, as they have only made one Mater short so far. (I didn't like any of the Mater films from the Emeryville studio either)...I'll wait for Pixar Canada to make something else. But I can tell you why Pixar went to Vancouver and Dreamworks went to Shanghai.
Pixar loves their employees, so they set up their extra studio in a beautiful city.
Dreamworks wants to produce as much animation as quickly possible, and what a better way to get cheap labor then to offshore to China?! :D
Yeah, people are misunderstanding me. I like Pixar Canada. I know that a lot of great animation and cartoons (mostly for TV) come from Canada. Vancouver and Ontario are where it's at! Pixar Canada's in British Colombia, right? I know that Studio B/DHX Media Vancouver (they changed their name at the start of Season 2 of FiM) is in Vancouver.
And on a related note, the FiM team does outsource some of their animation to Top Draw Animation in the Philippines, where an animator with the initials VDC leaked a "Pinkie Pie Smile" song. (I could go on about that with my theories of how and why, but I won't.)
My thing against China is their problems with free speech, Internet censorship, human rights, and the condition of factories where less-than-stellar pony toys are made.
For Shanghai being Communist they are sure doing well economically like Hong Kong. Are they really Communist or Capitalist? I'd move there if i had a chance.
@Anonymous: I wouldn't be too quick to assume that. Dreamworks offers its employees a better benefits package, and generally better salaries, than Pixar does. Also, Dreamworks has never been investigated for borderline illegal labor practices.
Not that I'm saying that Pixar is in any way a bad place to work. It is, however, for all the brilliant people involved, still a corporation, and it loves its employees only to the degree that they help make the company money.
Kevin, Pixar was investigated for borderline illegal practices? Where's your source, or were you talking about the Disney company in general, which I do know to be true.
There's some truth to the fact that as a corporation, the key end is making money. My thoughts on the company don't come from an insider's perspective, but rather from my general impressions from watching the movies themselves. I have enjoyed more consistently the Pixar films than I have the Dreamworks film. And I think that is due to the artists having more creative freedom.
And creative freedom usually comes from treating your core employees, at the very least, pretty well.
As for the anon comment about Communism, I was taking a jab at China's complete disregard for freedom of speech, and comparing it to the lack of creative control the Dreamworks artists have. :P
There's no doubt that China is about big business, but Jordan's right. Censorship and state control on ideas are bad.
While I'm here, is anyone else who reads this blog a brony like me?
Complete my brohoof:
.../)
(\ Brohoof for Jordan!
I've been reading this blog for years and always enjoyed your comments, but you just got 20% cooler! ; )
Ponies and Pixar forever!!!
@Anonymous:
And I like Pixar films, on average, more than Dreamworks films too. So do most animators, which is why they're willing to work there for a slightly lower salary than they could make somewhere else.
I enjoy FiM, but I'm not an obsessed lunatic like most of the internet.
@Tanner
Same here. I just enjoy the show, I don't really consider myself a 'brony', but I thought, 'eh, what could a little brohoof hurt'?
Dreamworks and China. Both have about the same quality of products.
@ JAY Hosh
Ha, ha, ha ZING!
Take THAT, CRAPworks! Ha, ha, ha!!!
Anyone who likes FiM in some regard should at least check out the Equestria Daily blog.
*Brony girl here sitting back laughing at where this is going.*
LMAO @ Jay Hosh!
Nice one ^_^

We are about to get a reasonable clear picture of this years roster against three top level MLS teams--LA, RBNY and RSL. We know our roster isn't complete but what we don't know is what ---if any --- significant improvements have been made during this offseason in out ability to compete in MLS. These three tests should clarify some of the questions we've been bantering around. First game is against LA on the 22nd and I think it will be streamed so we can get a first hand look at the 2012 Revs

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to visit the Bike Addiction
website. Our site is primarily an information centre that is here to let you know just who we are and how we can help you enjoy your cycling experience all the more.
BA, as we call it, was created back in 1996. It has grown a
reputation for it’s straight out honest advice, industry leading
knowledge and award winning service. A good troll through some
consumer review sites would back this up. Bike. But don’t let that scare you if you’re just starting out. We’ve all got to walk before we can run. We had to make plenty of mistakes ourselves to know what we know today let me assure you. The best real world knowledge comes from having been there and had a crack at it yourself; falling on your face a few times in the learning process we reckon. So if you’re starting out, ask us questions, lots of them! That’s what we’re here for after all; and why we are a real store and not just a web page.
BA’s staff are here to guide you and help you with any question, query or advice you may need. Whether you’re a pro racer or an enthusiastic beginner you won’t get quality advice like ours anywhere else. Come in and experience the BA difference, we’d love to meet you…
BA’s staff dig it when people come in to the store with nothing but a sparkle in there eye and a passion to take up this great sport of ours that brings us so much enjoyment. Few things make our staff happier than when we get a phone call later that day from somebody all pumped and reporting back on their first real adventure on two wheels. That’s where the real reward lies for us, helping others enjoy what we love so much ourselves… Go on, have a go! You don’t know what you’re missing.
Thanks for stopping by….
