FAIRFIELD PATRICIAN BROTHERS FOOTBALL CLUB
Club History: Season 1975
Admin02:25 0 comments
The third year since the inception of Fairfield Patrician Brothers Football Club saw the club enter four teams into the Southern Districts Football Association.
Pats entered teams within the under 12, 13, 14 and 15s age groups with Southern Districts Football competitions going on to taste success in the under 15s competition. In actual fact the club exceeded expectations in all age groups finishing second within the 12s and 14s age groups and third with the u13s competition.
1975 also brought with it the induction of 13 parents to the club's committee. The committee would prove instrumental in guiding the club through organisation of events to raise money and gain sponsorship.
The season also marked the first year of the club playing home games at Fairfield Park. This was in contrast to previous years where home games were played at Smithfield Oval, sharing the ground with other clubs.
Moving to such a field required much support and once again it was the parents, led by the committee who proved ever reliable. Tasks including supervision of the grounds, marking of lines and obtaining managers and coaches we undertaken willingly and voluntarily.
One notable mention goes to the Goddard family who would use there station wagon as the club's tuckshop on numerous occasions.
It was a truly successful year for the club.

Q: How can I update the profile picture on behalf of an authenticated user with the Facebook Graph Api? The question is full in the title.
The Graph Api documentation is quite full and I can't seem to find out how I can update the profile picture once a user signed-in in my iOS app.
I have tried different endpoints but without success.
Would someone be kind and tell me how? Also where would I find the constraints of photos that can be uploaded.

Taylor Swift urged her 112M followers on Instagram to register to vote.
After Taylor Swift posted on Instagram asking her followers to vote in the midterms, registrations spiked both nationally and in her home state of Tennessee, said Vote.org, a site devoted to registering voters and increasing voter turnout.
The number from around the country who registered on the website shot up to 240,000 in the 48 hours following Taylor Swift's call to action beamed to her 112 million Instagram followers on Sunday night, said Vote.org's communications director, Kamarie Guthrie. While there are a number of factors contributing to that increase, including many states' voter registration deadlines, about 102,000 people ages 18-29 registered.
Swift's home state also saw a big increase in registration. In the entire month of September, Vote.org registered 2,811 Tennesseans. Now on Oct. 9, the site already has nearly double that number for this month.
"Vote.org saw [Tennessee] registrations spike specifically since Taylor's post," Guthrie said.
Web traffic on Vote.org has jumped too, according to Guthrie. Average traffic on the site usually tops out at about 14,000 visits, but in the 24 hours after Swift's post, traffic reached 155,940.
Swift in her post on Sunday night said she will vote for two Democratic candidates for the U.S. Senate and House in Tennessee. But she urged her followers to vote for candidates of their choice.
"Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway," she wrote.
In her Instagram post, Swift broke her political silence and endorsed former Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen (D) over Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R) in the state's Senate race. Swift also endorsed Democrat Jim Cooper in his re-election bid for the House of Representatives.
Swift said she though she'd rather support female candidates, Blackburn's "voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me." She rattled off Blackburn's voting record, saying "She believes businesses have ta right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values."
She continued on in her post, saying, "I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country," she said. "I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent."
Mary Mancini, chair of the Tennessee Democratic Party, told ABC News that she was excited about Swift's decision to get political.
"It's really exciting. She did what every American should be doing, she came out and made a case for why shes voting the way she is. We know what people think about Tennessee and the truth is Tennessee is in the middle of transformation," Mancini said. "A new generation of leaders are coming from across the state that are shaping who we are and who are going to be. She speaks for them. She's who Tennessee really is and what our values are. That's anyone, no matter who are, or what you look like, or where you live should have the opportunity for a better life for you and your family."
Mancini said Democrats in many parts of the state are often bullied into silence and hopes Swift's post gave them courage to be vocal about their beliefs.
"Imagine someone who doesn't have her stature or megaphone being bullied for thinking the same way. Everything there is is geared towards silencing people who have the same viewpoint that she does. It's been a great thing for Tennesseans that share those same values," Mancini said.
(Evan Vucci/AP, FILE) President Donald Trump speaks with reporters on the South Lawn of the White House, Oct. 8, 2018, in Washington.
Trump praised Blackburn to reporters on the White House's South Lawn after learning of Swift's post, saying she is "doing a good job." He continued, "I'm sure Taylor Swift doesn't know anything about her. Let's say that I like Taylor's music about 25 percent less now."

The nondescript villages of Chand Sarai in Lucknow and Haidariya in Ghazipur will be the two ends of the country's longest expressway. The Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government has finalised details of the 341-km long Purvanchal Expressway, which will be constructed at an estimated cost of ₹13,186 crore by the end of 2020.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to lay the foundation stone of the project in February or March. Uttar Pradesh has secured assurances from banks for a loan of ₹15,000 crore for the project, of which ₹2,000 crore has already been released, an indication that lack of finances will not come in the way of completing the project in the targeted 30 months.
Besides being the country's longest six-lane expressway, linking Uttar Pradesh's capital to the state's eastern end, the other unique selling point of the highway is that it will connect the state's 'three temple towns' of Varanasi, Ayodhya and Allahabad.
While Varanasi will be connected through a widened NH that will crisscross the expressway, the state's Public Works Department will build a link road to Ayodhya from the expressway. The state government has also decided to build a new link expressway that will branch out of the Purvanchal Expressway and go till Allahabad. The government is also doing pre-feasibility study to link the expressway to the chief minister's home town of Gorakhpur, besides a link up with the new Bundelkhand Expressway being built from Jhansi to Kushinagar.
"This expressway will bring about development of eastern districts by connecting these to the state capital and further to Agra and national capital Delhi through Agra-Lucknow Expressway and Yamuna Expressway. The expressway has the potential to be linked with Patna–Buxar National Highway (NH 922) at Bharauli through NH 19/31," the state government has said in a request for qualification document, inviting bids through international competitive bidding for constructing the expressway.
Work is expected to start on the Purvanchal Expressway this April, with the entire stretch being divided into eight packages of 28-54 km each, which could be awarded to different companies. The six-lane expressway will be designed for speeds of 120 km/hr with the option of converting it to eight-lane.

Juan Ladrillero (Moguer, Huelva, ca. 1505 - ¿Concepción? (Chile) 1574) fue un piloto, cosmógrafo y teniente de gobernador español; considerado, después de Fernando de Magallanes, como el otro descubridor del estrecho de Magallanes; siendo el primero en navegarlo en ambos sentidos.

Estudió, de joven, en su ciudad natal navegación, cosmografía y astrología. Efectuó una serie de viajes a las Indias y en 1535 dio examen para navegar al nuevo continente en calidad de piloto. En 1537 navegó en el mar del Sur. En 1540 fundó la ciudad de Buenaventura. En 1545 llegó a Quito. Participó en la guerra civil que en el Perú protagonizaron los hermanos Pizarro.

Habiéndose retirado de la vida activa se radicó con su familia en su encomienda en Chuquiago, La Paz. En 1556 fue llamado por el virrey don Andrés Hurtado de Mendoza para que acompañara a su hijo don García Hurtado de Mendoza que partía de gobernador al Reino de Chile.

En Chile fue designado para que reconociera la entrada occidental del estrecho de Magallanes y la costa patagónica atlántica. Tomó el mando de una escuadrilla compuesta de dos naos, la San Luis y la San Sebastián, la primera bajo su propio mando y la otra al mando del piloto Francisco Cortés Ojea. Zarpó de la ciudad de Valdivia a fines de 1557 y, luego de recorrer el estrecho en ambos sentidos, en enero de 1559 regresó al mismo puerto del que había zarpado.

Primeros años
Nació en la localidad de Moguer (Huelva) en 1505, hijo de Pero Alonso Ladrillero y de Antonia García. Como la mayoría de los naturales de ese puerto se adiestró desde pequeño en las prácticas marineras. Estudió cosmografía y astrología y luego efectuó una serie de viajes en la flota de Indias.

En 1535 después de su undécimo viaje al nuevo mundo, rindió examen obteniendo el título de piloto para navegar en las naves españolas. Se dice que en esa época habría redactado un derrotero. A principios de 1536 viajó como maestre y piloto de una nao procedente de Nueva España cuando naufragó en el cabo de San Vicente, aunque se salvó la tripulación y la mayor parte de las mercancías y el metal precioso que llevaba a bordo.

En el mar del Sur
No tardó en volver a cruzar el Atlántico, enrolándose como piloto en la expedición que encabezaba Pascual de Andagoya. Aprovechando la pericia náutica y cartográfica de Ladrillero, la expedición reconoció la costa pacífica de Tierra Firme y del Perú. En 1537 se trasladó al mar del Sur y en sus exploraciones entre los ríos Lili y San Juan y la isla Gorgona fue el primer navegante en determinar latitudes al sur de Panamá.

Fundación de Buenaventura
En 1539 sirvió bajo las órdenes de Pascual de Andagoya como jefe de tres navíos y dos bergantines puestos bajo su mando. Descubrió la bahía de la Cruz y en 1540 fundó el pueblo de la Buenaventura y luego, en 1541, pasó a formar parte de las fuerzas del administrador Vaca de Castro enviado por Carlos I a Perú con el propósito de restaurar el orden entre las facciones pizarristas y almagristas que se disputaban el poder. En 1544, con el alzamiento de Gonzalo Pizarro, se vio inmerso de nuevo en las guerras civiles del Perú, luchando en el bando de la Corona.

En 1545 fue enviado a Quito en comisión por el virrey Blasco Nuñez Vela. Por esa época había contraído matrimonio con Francisca de Cabrera, dama avecindada en la ciudad de La Paz. Participó en las fuerzas de Pedro de la Gasca y una vez restablecida la autoridad real se retiró a descansar a su encomienda en Chuquiago.

En 1548 participó en la Batalla de Jaquijahuana, junto a su amigo Pascual de Andagoya. Acabada la guerra con la derrota de Gonzalo Pizarro, recibió una buena encomienda de indios, la de Chuquiago. Decidió tomarse un descanso, asentarse en dicha ciudad y vivir, con su esposa Francisca de Cabrera, de sus rentas. Durante este tiempo, quedó fascinado por el lago sagrado de los incas, el Titicaca, cartografiándolo por primera vez.

Expedición al Estrecho

El Virrey del Perú don Andrés Hurtado de Mendoza, conociendo la capacidad y pericia marinera de Ladrillero, y aunque este ya era de edad avanzada, lo escogió para que acompañara a su hijo don García Hurtado de Mendoza que partiría al  Reino de Chile como gobernador y que llevaba como una de sus tareas reconocer la boca occidental del estrecho de Magallanes, lo que había sido ordenado por una Real Cédula. La escuadrilla compuesta de tres naves y un galeón zarpó de El Callao el 2 de febrero de 1557, arribó a Coquimbo y siguió su navegación hacia el sur en demanda de la isla Quiriquina y luego se dirigió a Valdivia para alistar las naves con las que efectuaría el reconocimiento del Estrecho.

Armó dos naves de 450 toneles cada una y tripuladas por 60 hombres. Ladrillero tomó el mando de la San Luis llevando como piloto a Hernán Gallego y Cortés Ojea el mando de la San Sebastián con Pedro Gallego como piloto. Zarparon de Valdivia el 17 de noviembre de 1557 recalando al golfo de Penas al que le puso ensenada del Alcachofado, ingresaron a los canales patagónicos por el canal Fallos, a la salida del cual los buques se separaron no volviendo a encontrarse.

Cortés Ojea navegó durante dos meses los canales existentes entre la isla Wellington y el estrecho de Magallanes, en el golfo Trinidad desarmó la San Sebastián y con sus restos construyó un pequeño bergantín al que bautizó como San Salvador regresando al norte y fondeando en Valdivia el 1 de octubre de 1558.

Ladrillero ingresó a los canales por el canal Oeste , recorrió la isla Duque de York regresó al norte recorriendo el canal Wide, el paso del Indio y la angostura Inglesa y llegado al golfo de Penas volvió nuevamente al sur vía océano Pacífico.

Reconoció la costa sur del canal Concepción y entró a los canales por el estrecho Nelson y descubrió la región de Última Esperanza, navegó el canal Kirke y exploró el seno Obstrucción creyendo inicialmente que había llegado al estrecho de Magallanes.

Volvió al Pacífico buscando la entrada del Estrecho, pero esta vez continuó de largo hacia el sur, reconociendo la isla Desolación, entró al Estrecho navegando seguramente el canal Abra. En el cabo Posesión donde llegó el 9 de agosto de 1558 efectuó la ceremonia de toma de posesión de este. Luego de explorar la boca oriental regresó al norte soportando todo tipo de calamidades, falta de víveres y muerte de sus tripulantes logrando recalar en la bahía de Concepción donde fondeó con sólo el capitán, un marinero y un negro de servicio, que murieron a los pocos días excepto Ladrillero que falleció a mediados de 1574.

Legado

Podemos resumir en dos sus principales legados: la fundación de la ciudad de Buenaventura en Colombia y la exploración de la patagonia chilena y del estrecho de Magallanes.

El pueblo que fundó en 1540, Buenaventura, con el correr de los tiempos se convirtió al comienzo del siglo XXI en una ciudad de más de 350.000 habitantes y en el principal puerto del comercio exterior de Colombia por el volumen de carga que transfiere anualmente.

El Diario de Viaje de su exploración de los canales patagónicos chilenos y del estrecho de Magallanes proporcionaron por años a los navegantes de esas regiones valiosos detalles de la geografía, canales, surgideros, recursos y población. El viaje echó por la borda toda esperanza de encontrar un nuevo y rico territorio en las cercanías del Estrecho y, por el contrario, confirmó la inconveniencia de proyectar la fundación de nuevos pueblos en esas latitudes tan hostiles desde el punto de vista climático.

La principal avenida de la ciudad de Quellón, correspondiente al final de la Carretera Panamericana lleva su nombre.

People of Orlando – Joshua Wallack
We're introducing a new series to Come See Orlando. We started this site sharing viewpoints from the big-draw theme parks. We quickly realized that we have so much more to share, and we felt obligated to really open our site up to exploring the scope of our amazing, unique city. In that process, we've even opted to let our theme park annual passes go, with NO regrets. There really is so much more to Orlando. As we've been exploring, we've met some truly remarkable people. Since we're already showing you some of our favorite things that make this city special, why not share the people that we feel perfectly personify the spirit of Orlando?
Our first People of Orlando spotlight features Joshua Wallack – the COO of Mango's Tropical Cafe, and Managing Principal of Skyplex. Josh came barreling into Orlando with high hopes and big plans, and he has steamrolled every barrier that threatened his efforts – with class, intelligence, persistence, and a genuine desire to help Orlando grow in an entirely new direction. While we do have superior options for family entertainment, and our arts and culture scenes are showing a respectable upswing, it's undeniable that there is a certain flavor that we have been lacking… Latin flavor. Additionally, it has always been a challenge to find affordable entertainment that beckons to a sophistication and glamour that simply doesn't fit with the sweaty, casual tourist vibe that many of our attractions create. Mango's answers this need in vibrant fashion! It's got the flair of Vegas, with the cultural heart of Florida – and it's perfectly inviting to all demographics and interest groups. From the moment you arrive… before you even enter the building… you're swept away in an irresistible ambiance that appeals to each of your senses. If you have had the honor of visiting the Miami – South Beach location, you know that "Mango's is the party", and the party only got bigger here in Orlando.
But Josh and his father/partner David Wallack aren't stopping there! They have so much more in store for The City Beautiful, and they stand to give our longtime big parks a run for their money. If you haven't been paying attention to the development of the plans for Skyplex, you've really been missing out on some of Josh's finest moments. It's not often that you see a proposal create concern for the mega-parks, but Josh went head-to-head with Universal Studios when their paths came a little too close to crossing. It's impossible to not respect Josh's tenacity and strength. He put up one hell of a fight to see his concepts to reality, and he won. We here at CSO are big fans of "options", and one of the things we appreciate most about the plans for Skyplex is that it's full of options. Ticketing choices will allow guests to experience it completely, or minimally, with fair pricing (which has become a rarity in Orlando). There will be something for everyone – shopping, dining, thrills, and more. The Wallacks are completely focused on avoiding the common, cookie-cutter offerings that seem to dominate Orlando. They're all about unique – and the bigger, better "mouse trap", so to speak.
Joshua Wallack is easily one of the most intriguing personalities to hit the Orlando scene. We deeply respect his vision, his drive, and his charisma. We could spend hours talking with Josh, and still not scratch the surface of his brilliant mind and creative concepts. In fact… we did spend some time with Josh recently, and we have been anxious to share that experience with you. To truly gain an understanding of what brought him to Orlando and hatched his accomplishments here, you have to go straight to the man himself. As we sat in his bright, spacious office for a chat, it was hard not to notice his massive collection of books… everything from classic fairy tales to memoirs from history's greatest businessmen and presidents. So appropriate, because Josh is certainly a dreamer – with the intelligence and drive to make those dreams a reality! Enjoy this People of Orlando spotlight interview with Joshua Wallack.
Please note – since the filming of this interview, new information has been released regarding the development of Joshua's projects, including the I-Drive pedestrian bridge he originally proposed, and the addition of Circo to the rooftop of the multistory parking garage and complex adjacent to Mango's.

Reading Tea Leaves in Venezuela: How to Interpret the Results of Sunday's Regional Election
Gabriel Hetland
Regional elections do not usually attract international media headlines. But Sunday's gubernatorial race in Venezuela was not a typical regional election. This was the first time since Chávez came to power in 1999 in which he was unable to actively campaign in an election.
The End of the Chávez Era?
On December 8, Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez announced that his cancer has returned. Unlike past announcements, this time around Chávez publicly acknowledged that his odds of survival may not be great. Chávez took the astonishing, and quite unprecedented, step of naming a successor, foreign secretary Nicolas Maduro.
#Radical Media: Communication Unbound
Mario A. Murillo
New media forms are being applied by diverse actors, slowly tipping the balance of media power in favor of the active, engaged citizen across the continent.
What U.S. Voters Can Learn from Venezuela's Election
The paradigm that has emerged during Chávez's presidency is threatening to the dominant political discourse in the United States. So it's not surprising to see the U.S. media's hostile reactions to the politics of Venezuela, where citizens expect their votes to translate into genuine improvements in their daily lives—and politicians must deliver on those expectations.
Venezuelan Think Tank Panelist Condemns 100 Percent of Venezuelans
Unlike Mitt Romney's remarks disparaging the 47%, which were made in private to a coterie of wealthy donors, financial consultant Pedro Burelli disparaged 100% of Venezuelans at a free event, open to the public, and hosted by one of the most prominent, bipartisan think tanks in Washington, D.C.
A Hall of Shame for Venezuelan Elections Coverage
The media's behavior in the lead-up to Venezuela's elections has been overwhelmingly disgraceful. The Hall of Shame that follows is a sampling of some of the most typical distortions, gratuitous slurs, and incorrect predictions that readers have been exposed to over the past few weeks.
The New York Times Publishes Misplaced Concerns Over Mercosur
The New York Times recently published concerns over Venezuela's entry to Mercosur, Latin America's largest trade bloc. Mercosur purportedly "sets a terrible example for the region" by allowing in a country with "precarious protection of democratic rights," according to those quoted by the Times. In contrast, the newspaper uses no space in its article to explain the background behind the antidemocratic ouster of Paraguay's president, Fernando Lugo, a reason behind Mercosur's inclusion of Venezuela.
The Washington Post Ignores Coups in Article on Threats to Latin American Democracy
Given the rightwing accomplishments in Honduras and Paraguay of subverting the most basic of democratic protocols, it's absurd for The Washington Post to ignore these events in favor of detailing the "new authoritarianism" of leaders who are admittedly "democratically elected," who "do not assassinate opposition figures or declare martial law," and who preside over republics with "active news media, political opposition and civil society organizations."
Our Man in Caracas: The U.S. Media and Henrique Capriles
In response to Venezuela opposition candidate Henrique Capriles's campaign rally on June 10, news outlets contrasted Capriles's vigor with Hugo Chávez's frailty, while conveying Venezuelans' disgruntlement. So it came as no surprise that just one day later, the U.S. press reported that Chávez's own rally to officially inaugurate his presidential campaign attracted a crowd an entire order of magnitude smaller than that of Capriles.
Revolutionary Doctors: An Interview With Steve Brouwer (Video)
In his new book, "Revolutionary Doctors: How Venezuela and Cuba Are Changing the World's Conception of Health Care," author Steve Brouwer highlights the revolutionary health care practiced by Venezuela and Cuba. In this interview, Brouwer describes his new book and explains how these experiences are a road map to "a new kind of society."


Strong schools make strong communities, and every child deserves a quality public education. To succeed, traditional public schools need adequate funding, great teachers, quality instruction and extra-curricular opportunities. Instruction can't simply include standardized testing, it also needs education in the arts, foreign languages, music and science. It is time we invest meaningfully in our traditional public schools, for the sake of our children and the future of our community.

BUXOM Fire & Frost Stone Cold Babe Eyeshadow Palette ($42.00 for 0.56 oz.) includes 12 eyeshadows split into six duos, plus a miniature sized Buxom Lash Mascara. (The eyeshadows are 0.03 oz., so the palette contains 0.36 oz. worth of eyeshadow specifically.) The palette itself is called "Fire & Frost." The majority of shades in the palette are available individually, and the palette itself is the same size as the standard six-pan compacts that BUXOM sells for you to fill (you can pop these out and move them around). Some shades are nice, some shades are drier and harder to work with–most of them the new/exclusive shades–and overall, the palette didn't seem as cohesive or as complementary as I would have expected. I found it difficult to do more than the same smoky eye over and over again with the way the shades looked on the skin. Three of the shades–Graphite Glam, Frosted Pewter, Sequin Sparkle–looked nearly the same when I applied them, partially due to the sheerer quality of them, but they were all this sort of sheer, medium/medium-dark gray.
BUXOM Eyeshadow ($12.00 each or $40 for six) is a powder eyeshadow that is available as a customizable palette system, where you can purchase a single shade and an individual compact for $12 or purchase a six-pan palette, plus six eyeshadows to go inside of it, for $40. Each eyeshadow is held inside a metal pan that is (presumably) glued into a plastic pan that snaps into the compact/palette. The eyeshadows are easily lifted in and out of the palette, so you can rearrange them or create a new combination if you have more than one set of six. They will fit into a Z-palette, but you'll need to add a magnet to keep it in place. The eyeshadow formula is one that works better in action than swatched, as several of the mattes seemed on the thinner, more powdery side, but then they would blend exceptionally well while adhering to bare skin–and they wouldn't fade any faster than the more shimmery eyeshadows. The more shimmery shades tended to outperform the matte shades with better color payoff. These eyeshadows seem to have a slightly firmer press to them (more in the style of your average MAC eyeshadow), and they feel quite different compared to bareMinerals' Ready line, as those have a thicker, denser consistency.
Eyeshadow: $12.00 for 0.05 oz. or $240.00/oz.
Mascara: $20.00 for 0.37 oz. or $54.05/oz.
* When you purchase six shades and a six-pan palette, the cost is $40. The palette is $2 more, but you get a miniature mascara; plus, you get 12 shades instead of six, so you may derive more value in terms of per-shade cost if you are not someone who typically pans your eyeshadow.

Mink Magnet is a medium-dark bronze with hints of gray on top paired with a frosted finish. It had good color payoff, though not fully opaque, that applied nicely to bare skin, though the texture was a bit looser and drier to the touch. The color wore well for eight hours on me before fading. This shade was actually better than the single I have. Cle de Peau Satin Moon #3 (PiP, ) is less shimmery (95% similar).

Trendsetter is a light-medium taupe with stronger gray tones and a neutral-to-cool undertone overall. It had a matte finish. It had semi-sheer coverage that tended to sheer out quickly as the consistency was thinner and dustier. I did not have better luck using it over a primer; it was just a dismal shade. The color started to fade after five hours. Kat Von D Lazarus (PiP, ) is warmer (95% similar). bareMinerals Graceful (LE, ) is warmer (90% similar). MAC Brains & Brawn (LE, $17.00) is darker (90% similar). Sephora Coffee (LE, ) is darker, warmer (90% similar). Urban Decay Frisk (PiP, $19.00) is lighter (90% similar).

Haute Couture is a dark, bronzy brown with warm, coppery undertones and a frosted sheen.

Sequin Sparkle is a light-medium gray-leaning taupe with warmer, copper sparkle that sat over a satin finish. The sparkle was looser, so it didn't bind with the underlying color (little made it to the lid as a result), while the texture was firmer and difficult to work with. It had decent pigmentation, but it did not blend easily. This shade wore well for just over seven and a half hours. MAC Posh Pedigree #2 (LE, $21.00) is more shimmery (95% similar). Buxom Frosted Pewter (LE, $12.00) is more shimmery, darker (90% similar). Tarte Slate Bells Ring (LE, ) is warmer (90% similar). Chanel Variation #2 (P, ) is less shimmery (90% similar).

See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
Jetsetter is a medium-dark taupe that leans quite gray with cooler undertones and a matte finish. It was semi-sheer, dusty, and difficult to build the color on the lid, even over primer. It was a real disappointment given how much better the individual version I have is (so much more pigmented!). It lasted for five hours before fading on me. Stila Fog (LE, $18.00) is darker (95% similar). Guerlain Two VIP #2 (LE, ) is more shimmery, lighter (95% similar). Urban Decay Password (PiP, $19.00) is cooler (95% similar).

Frosted Pewter appeared as a deep, smoldering gray with warmer undertones in the pan, but it was more like a subdued, medium gray with warm undertones applied. It lost a lot of its intensity from pan to skin, probably due to the lack of pigmentation and generally firm, stiff, and trouble-making texture. It tended to apply where it initially landed and not want to diffuse or budge from there. It lasted for seven and a half hours. Dior Minimalism (P, $29.50) is less shimmery, lighter (90% similar). Chanel Variation #2 (P, ) is lighter (90% similar). Disney by Sephora Kill Joy (LE, ) is less shimmery, warmer (90% similar). Urban Decay Armor (PiP, $19.00) is more shimmery, darker (90% similar).

Tarte Rocker (PiP, ) is lighter, warmer (80% similar). Tarte Slate Bells Ring (LE, ) is lighter, warmer (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
Graphite Glam is a dark gray with neutral undertones and a pearly finish. It appeared much, much richer and darker in the pan than swatched, where it was semi-sheer, faded, and dry. The texture was firm in the pan, which made it hard to apply evenly and blend it out with any semblance of soft, diffused edges. It lasted for seven hours on me. MAC Twelve Chimes (LE, $17.00) is darker (90% similar). MAC Uninhibited #2 (LE, $21.00) is more shimmery (90% similar). Dior Volcanic #4 (LE, ) is less shimmery, cooler (90% similar).

See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
LBD is a dark black with neutral undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a lightly dusty, thinner texture that wasn't as blendable as it could have been. It is workable, but it'll take extra effort and was best applied in sheerer layers, then built up. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me. NARS Fauna (DC, $25.00)(100% similar). Giorgio Armani #01 (P, $32.00) is darker (95% similar). Urban Decay Perversion (LE, $19.00) is cooler (95% similar). Tarte Smoke & Mirrors (LE, ) is lighter, warmer (95% similar).

Black Tie is a deep, inky black with neutral-to-warm undertones and a cooler, teal and silver pearl. It had good color payoff with a fairly smooth texture, though it ran a touch dry and the edges looked draggy when I worked with them. With a little extra maneuvering, I was able to diffuse the edges to my satisfaction. It wore well for eight hours on me. Lancome My French #9 (LE, ) is less shimmery (95% similar).

Buxom Stone Cold Babe Eyeshadow Palette $42.00/0.36 OZ.
Thank you for the review! This is now off my wish list.
Thank you for your honest review. I love my Dolly's Wild Side palette, the shadow quality is so amazing, I'm keeping my eye on Buxom – but sad to see some shades in this one fall a bit short. Love the packaging though!
It was really frustrating to use this one!
Pity this turned out so poorly; I'd had hopes that Buxom holiday offers would be worthwhile, as it's just this year I've bought from the brand for the first time and with pretty good successes (especially eyeshadows).
I hear ya, AB! Their regular single line of these is nice overall, and the new fall shades? AMAZING! These? Sigh.
Beautiful packaging. But a disappointing rating.
Yep, it wasn't so good!
Best bet is probably a stark white base, something a little tacky/creamy, which is my fail-safe (NYX Milk), but it's so much work… and I think that there is a definite lack of differentiation in the shade range that makes them all look muddied together in the end.
I would return it if your experience was similar to mine 🙁 Buxom eyeshadows are nice overall, but this is SO not in sync with their regular line.
That's one miserable little palette. Yikes. I think most of us on here could pretty much tell from your initial swatches that this one wouldn't be all that great. But it's actually even worse than I had anticipated.
Also, it's not as if Buxom cannot produce great eyeshadows, so there's no excuse for the poor quality seen here.
Sad times, Nancy! It had potential but not so much after using it.
I like the packaging, but I find the color selection incredibly boring. (No offence to those who like it, but it's just not my jam at all.) The quality on so many shades is just sad. Black Tie is gorgeous, though.
There's a lot overlap in shades/tones – aside from quality issues, I think it is lacking in cohesiveness as well!
This review makes me so sad! I wanted to love this palette so much!
I was sad, too, Melissa!
At least most of the decent shades are permanent (that black tie though). I'll just get those and build my own palette. I got the last 6 shades based on your review (ordered without even seeing them in person) and I LOVE them.
Leaning cooler, this might have been tempting had it received a good review.
I was bummed about this – I didn't think it was going to have so many issues!
Is the formula of these different from the ones that have been out for a while? I was surprised jetsetter got an F, could have sworn I swatched it in the store and it was better than that. Guess they changed the formula or I'm remembering wrong.
I thought so! Man I hate it when companies do this.
This is one of those it's a shame/not a shame moments for me. If it was good it was getting purchased due to being neutral to cool. Money saved.
Not a color scheme that appeals to me even if the grade was better.
This could have been a really great palette as quite a few of the shadows leaned cool for all the cool toned lovers out there. But the palette is a fail because of the poor quality of half of the shadows.
I know! I wish it was better.
Obviously unfortunate for those of us who had hopes for a decent cool neutral palette. Duped, thanks. Elia/Marlon said it best: I(t) could been a contendah!
This is so sad. I have all of the fall release and really love and use them often. I am with everyone else, once a brand produces a really great product it is hard to understand how they could create such terrible shadows. I know some say that the holiday releases are frequently not as good as the regular lines but everyone knows the holidays are coming so I am sure they don't just start working on it at the last minute. Most of us have a lot of makeup and shadows in particular so skipping this doesn't impact me in any way.
I know! It was a huge surprise – did not think it was going to be this bad!
Awww! 🙁 Though it's nice to know I didn't have a one-off experience, I don't want you to get a bad product either, lol!
Money saved but pretty cool eye look.
The customizable duos is a really cute idea but the ratings are so low.
I like the packaging and color selection, but I think I can pass on this one because of that rating. Thanks for the honest review!
It's funny – as much as I love most Buxom shadows, just looking at this palette left me feeling a bit "cool" about it. Then, looking at the breakdown of the shades, I realized I have about half of them in self-made 6 pan palettes but without all of these D and F rated shadows which, to my eye, bring down the attractiveness of the palette just in looking at it and clearly, the performance in those shadows is also sadly lacking. I wonder too if the white packaging contributes to less than warm (both literally and figuratively) feelings about it – I don't think the white packaging makes the shadows look particularly attractive.
I remember a few years back when MAC did a holiday/Xmas collection with a wintery theme – "Snowglobes" or something like that – and while it was icy looking, it was attractive too (though I think most of the products from the collection were fairly mediocre). But this one just looks bland…those cool and neutral eyeshadows against white plastic just don't "spark" or "sparkle". I love Buxom's customizable line but this assortment – like I say, even visually, they've managed to make it unappealing, which is quite an "achievement" when you consider it includes such great shades as Champagne Buzz, Mink Magnet, Jet Setter (what the hell happened THERE?) and Haute Couture!
Upon some research I found this palette was made in China. The permanent ones are made in the US. That explains the difference in quality. Would you consider listing the country of origin in your reviews? It would save me a lot of time researching. It's getting to where I'm scared to buy from online retailers since they seldom give that info and too many HE brands are selling us sub par product these days.. especially for holiday or limited editions.
I try to photograph the front and back of packaging/palettes so that if that is something you find useful. The responsibility is on the brand to ensure that any manufacturers or factories they use to produce their products yield the quality they desire. To me, it is problematic to blame an entire country on something the brand has control over. It is BUXOM who ordered the product, who specified what and where, and it was BUXOM who approved and distributed the product.
I'm not blaming China. I'm not completely opposed to Chinese product, provided I know what I'm getting and am paying an appropriate price. My issue is brands selling product that is completely different from their usual formula on the sly. Totally Buxoms fault. Too Faced, Becca, and Tarte were other big offenders this year.. and they are just the ones that come to mind.
Thanks for clarifying! As I said, I try to take photos of the front/back of packaging, so any relevant information should be there.

Remember paying for texts? WhatsApp hits 1bn users
by Gordon Hunt
Facebook's domination of social media has never been more emphatic, it seems, as WhatsApp has announced it has 1bn users around the world, a significant landmark for the instant messaging service.
Facebook 'reaches' 1bn users a day around the world. That's Big Brother (1985 book, not reality TV) numbers. Its quarterly revenues are several billion dollars a pop and its Messenger app is used by 800m monthly users.
That, alone, is remarkable. However, when you add in WhatsApp, which Facebook bought back in 2014 for an estimated $19bn, the figures are even more emphatic. Especially now that WhatsApp has reported, for the first time, that it has hit 1bn monthly active users.
For those unaware, WhatsApp is a messaging tool that is free, looks well and is incredibly simple to dive into. It has replaced SMS texting – which can be oppressively costly – in many areas of society.
Last month, its nominal 99c subscription fee was scrapped and, quite incredibly, it says it has no plans to host third-party ads.
Jan Koum, the head of WhatsApp, says it has 1bn users, while the WhatsApp blog says 1bn people, which are two completely different things. However, for the sake of marketing, the company claims that one in seven people on the planet are using its service.
"We still have another 6bn people to get on WhatsApp," reads the celebratory post, claiming its original ethos of ensuring that anyone could stay in touch with family and friends "anywhere on the planet, without costs or gimmicks standing in the way, " remains true.
An upward curve
WhatsApp's user base has rocketed up since Facebook's acquisition, with it logging around 450m active monthly users at the time. Facebook's app has 1.5bn active monthly users, while Messenger's rising numbers aren't far behind.
Should Instagram follow suit, then Facebook will further strengthen its position at the top of the social media pyramid.
Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg was full of praise for Koum and his team, noting a particular example of how WhatsApp vastly improved immediate communications worldwide.
"In January this year, a 16-year-old girl in Mumbai needed a new heart," wrote Sandberg in a Facebook post.
"She'd already survived cancer, but the chemotherapy had taken its toll. Finding a match is always a race against time. When a donor was discovered hundreds of miles away, the medics acted fast.
"They used a WhatsApp group to co-ordinate organ donations and organise transport. A few hours later, doctors successfully carried out the first paediatric heart transplant in Mumbai."
The service supports 53 languages, with 1.6bn photos shared daily. 42bn messages are sent every 24 hours and there are 1bn groups – which is where WhatsApp really shines.
How will Facebook monetise the service? Well, it's hard to tell at the moment, but the latest plans seem to be around charging businesses, or utilising it as customer support to add value to the overall operation.
But, in the meantime, just keep enjoying that free messaging, if you like.

Arthur Henry Ashford Wynn (22 January 1910 – 24 September 2001), was a British civil servant, social researcher, and recruiter of Soviet spies for the KGB.

Early life
Wynn was the son of a professor of medicine. Educated at Oundle School, he played rugby union. Wynn read natural sciences and mathematics at Trinity College, Cambridge.

Wynn was in Germany when Adolf Hitler became Chancellor. He married German communist Lieschen Ostrowski, to enable her to escape Nazi Germany.

He returned to England, dissolved his marriage, and moved to Oxford for further study. While at the University of Oxford he joined the Clarendon Club, and met and married Margaret 'Peggy' Moxon, a student and a fellow member of the Communist Party of Great Britain. They married in 1938, and had four children (three sons and a daughter). In the following year, Arthur and Peggy Wynn wrote a study of the financial connections of the Conservative establishment which they published as "Tory M.P." It was published in the USA as "England's Money Lords"; the Wynns published under the pseudonym 'Simon Haxey'.

Intending to specialise in trade union law in partnership with Sir Stafford Cripps QC, Wynn studied law at Lincoln's Inn, and was called to the bar in 1939. During World War II, Wynn worked as a technical specialist on secondment at electronics company A.C. Cossor, working on projects that include IFF radar and advanced navigational aids for RAF Bomber Command.

Agent Scott
Recruited by Edith Tudor-Hart in 1936, Wynn was the Soviet spy known as "Agent Scott" of the KGB. Wynn created the less prominent Oxford spy ring, in some sense the University of Oxford "counterpart" to the Cambridge Five.

The name Agent Scott first appeared in Soviet files in October 1936. In the 1998 book The Crown Jewels by writer Nigel West and the former KGB officer Oleg Tsarev, the NKVD London station reported a significant intelligence coup, stating that Edith Tudor-Hart had recruited "a second Sohnchen," the code name used for Kim Philby. The memo further stated that "in all probabilities, they offer even greater possibilities than the first."

During the Stalinist purges, the KGB's London recruiting station was briefly closed, but "Agent Scott" appears to have maintained contact, and by 1941 he was recruiting additional sources.

Spying
Recruited to the NKVD's British team, Wynn began sending reports on Oxford members of the Communist Party. These were related to recruitment of spies, of which he listed 25, for which later screening – which Wynn himself was subjected to – five were considered highly suitable. These included an individual code-named "Bunny", who has never been identified. The basis of the Oxford spy ring he ran are suspected to have included a former Labour MP, a former director of the Victoria and Albert Museum and an Oxford don.

This team Wynn recruited became the basis for the Oxford spy ring. Another Oxford student that Wynn recruited was David Floyd. Floyd joined the British Diplomatic Service and spied for the Russians in Moscow at the UK military mission and the British embassy from 1944 to 1947 and then was posted to Belgrade. Wynn also identified and offered to recruit students from the University of Cambridge and the University of London, but his handlers urged him to be more "selective. There should be no mass recruitment."

Post-war
Moved by a series of post-war coal mining disasters, he switched his attention to mining safety. After the nationalisation of the coal industry in 1948, Wynn became director of mining safety research at the Ministry of Fuel and Power. He was the National Coal Board's scientific member from 1955 to 1965, and then a senior civil servant in Tony Benn's Ministry of Technology until his retirement in 1971.

Post-retirement, with his wife he became a prominent medical researcher and social commentator, particularly in the area of nutrition. Their papers were widely published and read, and used by many politicians to advance their own political agenda. Through their publications, the Wynns struck up a friendship with Tory MP Peter Bottomley. Tory leadership hopeful Keith Joseph based a 1975 speech on their published article for the Child Poverty Action Group examining the issue of poverty and single parenthood. Joseph's interpretation of the article lost him the support of Margaret Thatcher, who decided to run for the leadership herself.

Public revelations from 1992

The real name of "Agent Scott" first came to light when the KGB permitted access to its files in 1992. The double life of Wynn was exposed in The Weekly Standard magazine by historians John Earl Haynes, Harvey Klehr and former KGB officer Alexander Vassiliev.

The KGB refused to divulge "Agent Scott"'s name in 1992, prompting media speculation of a series of moles. When the KGB confirmed the existence of "Agent Scott" in 1996, the mole was incorrectly described as an Old Etonian, a Scotsman and a member of the Foreign Office: Wynn was none of these. Those accused of being "Agent Scott" therefore included former diplomat Sir David Scott Fox and Sir Peter Wilson, the former chairman of Sotheby's.

From information uncovered by Vassiliev, a memo dated July 1941 from Pavel Fitin, the KGB's war time head of counter-intelligence, to KGB chief Vsevolod Merkulov, named "Agent Scott" as Wynn. It also identified "Scott's" recruiters as London based NKVD controller Theodore Maly, and Austrian-born spy Edith Tudor-Hart, who also recruited Kim Philby:

Personal life

Arthur Wynn died in London in 2001 and his ashes were buried on the west side of Highgate Cemetery.

Wynn is the grandfather of the historian and author Adam Tooze. Tooze's book, The Wages of Destruction (2006), is dedicated to Wynn and his wife, Peggy.

Carbon Plantations gets go-ahead to plant brand new species of carbon-cutting hardwood trees in UK.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from Belgium gas transmission system operator
How Do Speed Bumps Affect Pollution?
A new report has suggested that improperly designed speed bumps could be contributing to pollution. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has recommended that speed bumps be redesigned to facilitate smoother driving, which would release less carbon and other contaminants into the atmosphere.
At present, the positioning of speed bumps encourages drivers to speed up and slow down between them. These changes in acceleration are responsible for greater emissions and is something that NICE would like the government to tackle.
2016 was a record year for UK traffic, with 320 billion miles travelled by vehicles across the nation. That's a 1.4% increase from last year, and health experts claim that the soot and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) expelled from car exhausts can exacerbate pollution and compromise public health.
However, smoother driving could reduce these emissions by up to 20%, according to the CEO of the London Sustainability Exchange Samantha Heath, who sat on the board for the NICE report. As a result, NICE recommends that speed bumps be repositioned so that drivers are encouraged to maintain a steady speed between them.
Another option is to replace the bumps with speed tables, which are longer and flatter, raising the whole vehicle off the ground rather than just its wheels. This would prevent drivers from accelerating and decelerating between them, but they are more expensive to install and funds are at a premium.
One of many recommendations
When it comes to air pollution, flexibility is key to solving abatement challenges and the speed bump idea is just one of several recommendations made by NICE. Among others, the body has suggested that councils should consider:
Imposing a 20mph limit in all residential areas where congestion is a problem
Prohibiting drivers from keeping their engines on at stop signs or traffic lights outside hospitals and schools
Increasing the number of electrical charge points for electric vehicles (EVs)
Teaching smooth driving as standard when it comes to learning how to drive
Moving the most commonly-used rooms in houses as far as possible away from busy thoroughfares and roads
Moving cycle lanes away from busier roads
Planting trees between roadways and cycle lanes to screen pollution from cyclists
NICE is advocating a many-faceted approach in the hope that the cumulative effect of all of these measures will have a significant impact upon the emissions. However, not everyone is convinced.
Too little, too late?
Critics of the report claim that any improvements brought about by the proposed changes will be incremental at best and will not work to seriously tackle the root causes of the problem.
Professor Richard Skellington, a pollution expert at the University of Reading, was particularly vocal in his scepticism about the efficacy of the new measures. "The message of the report seems to me to be 'every little helps – possibly'," he said. "The report does reject some ideas, such as street washing, but generally the actions proposed seem likely to make small incremental improvements at best."
Meanwhile, councils have welcomed the plans in theory but expressed doubts about how they would be financially affordable in practice. "There is a lot we could do if we had the funding but this is a national issue for government too," explained Councillor Martin Tett. "The reality is we have to pay for this today."

Le'Veon Bell Offers Cryptic Response To Adam Gase's Disrespect
By Alexander Cole
Todd Olszewski/Getty Images
Le'Veon is just as confused as we are.
Le'Veon Bell is one of the best running backs in the entire league although this year, his production was stymied due to a lackluster offensive line. Bell is a talented individual that any team would be lining up to sign or trade for. Unfortunately, his head coach doesn't appear to feel the same way. During the New York Jets end of the season press conference today, head coach Adam Gase was incredibly dismissive of Bell and whether or not he wanted the running back on the squad next season.
Fans were reasonably confused by Gase's answer and apparently, Bell was too. The running back took to Twitter with a gif of Michael Scott from The Office looking angrily off camera. Without even saying a word, Bell gave us a pretty good idea of how he feels although we can't know for sure.
Either way, the relationship between Bell and Gase appears to be broken which means one of two things has to happen. The Jets have to choose between trading Bell and keeping Gase. Based on how things are looking, it appears as though the Jets are going to choose their head coach. If you know anything about Gase's tenure in Miami, you would know that keeping him is a huge mistake.
Regardless, it will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Selvarani
Shunned by Their Own Families, She Is Giving These Children The Life They Deserve
In the scorching summer afternoon of 2009, she found a young girl tied to a pole outside a small house in Perambalur, who barely received a glance from passerby oblivious to her plight.
Lakshmi, a disabled 15-year-old was regularly tied to a pole by her parents for fear she would run away while they were away at work.
"What else can we do? What if she runs away in our absence? How can we protect her?" her parents said.
In a country where those with disabilities face daily stigma and discrimination and a lack of facilities to assist them, Selvarani Rajaratnam, 54, decided to do something about it.
Selvarani taught students in Saudi Arabia, when she realised that her heart had always been in social service. In 2004, her husband passed away due to a massive heart attack.
"I was very depressed after my husband's death and I decided to come back home, to India," says Selvarani.
After practicing law in Coimbatore for a couple of years, she decided it was time to follow her heart. Looking at the sorry state of women and particularly children with disabilities in Trichy and Perambalur, she started Sri Selliah Memorial Trust, an NGO in 2006. Based in Perambalur, the SSM Trust works with children with developmental disabilities who are from low-income households.
"Cities have plenty of special schools. But, for such children in villages, there's no one to help them out," says Selvarani.
Finding a Way Out and Reaching Out to Those in Need
India has 20.42 lakh disabled children aged between 0 and 6 years. Around 71% of them - 14.52 lakh children - are in rural areas.
There are more than 5.80 lakh children in this age group with other disabilities like autism and cerebral palsy. Their needs aren't met by government shelters.
"Once you'll see these children, meet them, you will want to help them out," says Selvarani.
Lack of awareness regarding disabilities is one of the biggest challenges for the SSM Trust.
The organization focusses on the overall development of these children. From art and craft to life skills, yoga, and gardening, these children are provided with the best resources and a suitable learning environment.
Selvarani's trust takes care of the transportation too. "If there is no bus, the parents will stop sending their children to school. I would never want that," says Selvarani.
The school has two special educators and trained teachers. The present batch comprises 27 students.
Small Steps, Big Changes
"'Vannkkam, madam,' they say with genuine reverence and enthusiasm, whenever I enter the classroom. This wasn't the case earlier," says Selvarani. Although, this may seem trivial. But, these children have come a long way, she adds.
"Earlier, the parents weren't happy about letting their children attend the school. They were scared. But, after seeing noticeable changes in their children, they are more than happy to send them," she says.
Selvarani recalls one particular incident that will always stay with her.
"We had organized a cultural program which was filled brilliant performances by children. One of the parents was so moved on seeing his son's act that after the program he walked up to me, with tears in his eyes and thanked me. He said he was worried about his child's future all the time, but now he felt much better," says Selvarani.
In a country where mental disorders are rarely understood and considered a taboo even by the educated, the poor find themselves dealing with it with their limited means and no assistance.
For Selvarani, these children are her life. She is dedicating all her time for the betterment of these children. A little bit of support from you will go a long way and help her bring a huge difference to the lives of these children. These children need your support. Donate here.

Bowdoinham man charged with threatening to 'shoot up' Auburn community college
Police have charged Darren Lilly, 23, with terrorizing, saying he possessed numerous weapons and made threats against Central Maine Community College, where he had enrolled for the fall semester.

A Bowdoinham man who allegedly threatened to "shoot up" the community college where he had enrolled was charged with terrorizing after police found numerous weapons – including a gun in a violin case – when they arrested him at his home.
Darren Lilly, 23, was arrested at his home on Feldspar Lane at 5:30 p.m. Monday and Sagadahoc County Sheriff's deputies seized a mix of handguns, rifles and shotguns from his house, and two firearms from a car, the department said in a statement.
Darren Lilly
The arrest stemmed from information deputies received that Lilly "was in possession of numerous firearms and had made threats to shoot up Central Maine Community College in Auburn," a sheriff's department statement said.
People who know Lilly heard him make the threats within the last week, Chief Deputy Brett Strout said. He declined to elaborate, citing the need to protect witnesses. Investigators didn't identify a motive.
Lilly had been admitted to CMCC for the fall semester, said Scott Knapp, the college's president.
"Obviously, we're revoking that admission," he said.
The violin case with the gun inside was found in the car. Strout said carrying a weapon inside an instrument case is legal. However, the department has contacted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to determine if one of the weapons seized – a sawed off shotgun – is legal to possess.
Lilly was charged with terrorizing, a Class C felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. He posted the $1,000 unsecured bond and was released with conditions that restrict him from possessing firearms and bar him from Auburn.
Asked why the bail was set so low, Strout said the bail commissioner sets bail based on criteria they must follow.
"In this instance, my deputies interviewed (Lilly), they took from him his weapons and he was cooperative, so they must have felt what was done was sufficient or reasonably sufficient," Strout said.
While the sheriff's department was concerned enough to arrest Lilly, Strout said Lilly cooperated and retrieved his guns for deputies.
"I don't believe the neighbors have anything to worry about," Strout said. "Those items have been removed and he does have some pretty strict bail conditions."
Public records show that Lilly does not have a criminal record in Maine.
The sheriff's department also contacted Auburn Police Department and Central Maine Community College, as well as the Sagadahoc County District Attorney's Office. Strout said police didn't release information about the arrest until Tuesday morning to make sure those agencies all were informed of the situation.
Knapp, the CMCC president, said Auburn police told the college about Lilly's threats and arrest Tuesday morning. CMCC quickly activated its emergency notification system, alerting faculty, staff and students about the threat via personal phones, campus phones, text, email and campus computers.
A separate email also went out to faculty and staff with a photo of Lilly attached.
The college also has paid for additional police protection from the Auburn Police Department.
CMCC remains open and its summer classes are operating on schedule.
Knapp had no idea why Lilly might have wanted to threaten the community college, and he said CMCC hasn't been the focus of a threat in his 21 years as president.
"This is a first for me," he said.
