Happy (almost) Valentine's Day, everyone! My blog post today is actually a collab with three wonderful bloggers. Some of you may remember the gorgeous Dutch beauty blogger Francoise (who I did a Holiday Collab with last December which you can read here) Rebecca, an insanely talented makeup artist from America, and I have been mutuals on Instagram for a while, and she participated in my Beauty Blogger Tag a while back. The third blogger I am collaborating with is Lily, a vegan beauty blogger from Denmark. I did her Christmas Tag which you can read here.
For my look today, I am starting out with the Wet n Wild Eyebrow Kit and lightly filling in any sparse areas in my eyebrows.
The next product I will be using is the Revlon ColourStay Foundation in the shade 'Toast' and using my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to buff that into my skin.
Next, I am using the Essence Femme Fatale lipliner. I am just going to line my lips before filling it in with the LA Girl Matte Pigment Gloss in the shade 'Frisky'.
|For highlighter, I am using the Catrice Illuminating Highlighter Pen and applying that to my cheekbones, bridge of my nose, underneath my browbone, tip of my nose and cupid's bow.
I used the blackest matte colour from my NYX Smokey Eyes Palette and used an angled brush from Revlon to apply it close to my lash-line.
Taking the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner, I'm going to start off by tight-lining my eyes before slightly smoking out the liner using my Revlon Angled Shadow Brush. I am then going to apply a few coats of the Urban Decay Perversion Mascara.
That is it for my finished makeup look. Be sure to look at the other girls involved in this collab - this is a collab you don't want to miss out on!

The SEC has just published additional guidance for those venture capital funds advisers relying on an exemption to not register as investment advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and who may worry that the way they structured a fund (or whether certain actions discussed below) might jeopardize the ability to rely on the exemption. In response to such inquiries, the SEC's Division of Investment Management has provided additional guidance in the form of five examples or "scenarios" for advisers relying on the "venture capital fund" exemption or "VC Exemption" where they advise one or more venture capital funds. First, some background:
The Dodd-Frank Act created three exemptions from registration under the Advisers Act. One of them, section 203(l) of the Advisers Act, provides that an investment adviser that solely advises venture capital funds is exempt from registration under the Advisers Act. Rule 203(l)-1 of the Advisers Act defines "venture capital fund," and, generally, defines it as a private fund that (i) holds no more than 20 percent of the fund's capital commitments in non-qualifying investments (other than short-term holdings); (ii) does not borrow or otherwise incur leverage, in excess of 15% of the fund's aggregate capital contributions and uncalled capital commitments, and then only on a short-term basis; (iii) does not offer its investors redemption or other similar liquidity rights except in extraordinary circumstances; (iv) represents itself as pursuing a venture capital strategy to its investors and prospective investors; and (v) is not registered under the Investment Company Act and has not elected to be treated as a business development company.
The first scenario involves venture capital funds who hold their portfolio company investments through an intermediate holding company. The SEC has said it would not object if an intermediate holding company is wholly owned collectively by more than one venture capital fund advised by the same investment adviser (or its related persons).
The second scenario involves situations where funds advisers accommodate U.S. tax-exempt and non-U.S. investors by forming an alternative investment vehicle ("AIV") that is separate from the venture capital fund and that will elect to be taxed as a corporation. Since the AIV does not invest in "qualifying investments" and would therefore technically be holding more than 20% of the amount of the fund's aggregated capital contributions and uncalled capital commitments in non-"qualifying investments," the SEC has said it would not object if an adviser relying on the VC Exemption disregards AIVs when determining whether it can meet the requirements of the VC Exemption provided certain conditions are met.
The third scenario involves warehousing arrangements where advisers may not yet be able to make investments, and may need to wait to transfer securities of the investment to the venture capital fund upon the fund's closing. The SEC has said it would not object to an adviser treating a warehoused investment as if it were acquired directly from the qualifying portfolio company for purposes of the definition of "venture capital fund" under Rule 203(l)-1 provided certain requirements are met.
The fourth scenario occurs in situations where an adviser establishes a venture capital fund or "Main Fund" and one or more private funds to invest in parallel with the Main Fund or "Side Funds." An adviser might later close the Main Fund and form a Side Fund(s) after the Main Fund has made portfolio company investments. Would the Main Fund's transfers of portfolio securities to a Side Fund be deemed a non- "qualifying investment" for the Side Fund because the equity securities of the portfolio company that are transferred to the Side Fund are being acquired from the Main Fund and not directly from the qualifying portfolio company?
The SEC, in response, said it would not object to an adviser treating the Side Fund investment as if the Side Fund acquired the portfolio company securities directly from the qualifying portfolio company meeting the definition of "venture capital fund" under Rule 203(l)-1, "as long as such transfer occurs within 12 months of the final closing of the Main Fund and the potential for this type of transfer is fully disclosed in the constituent documents of the Main Fund and any Side Fund(s)."
The final scenario involves situations where an adviser determines to wind up the remaining affairs of a venture capital fund by transferring the remaining portfolio securities of the fund to a liquidating trust where the adviser or an affiliate serves as the liquidating trustee. Does the fact that the liquidating trust obtains securities from the venture capital fund itself and not directly from a qualifying portfolio company deem it a non-"qualifying investment? In such circumstances, the SEC says it would not object to the adviser's use of a liquidating trust while relying on the VC Exemption.

You know it's been a long night when you're drinking your last beer, the sun is up, and you're watching Good Morning America. I had a rough one last night, and the sad thing is, it didn't take that much to send me over the edge. I wish they had an alcohol vaccine, so you could drink 28 beers and it wouldn't do much aside from make you piss a lot. I've heard that if you can eat a pound of butter before you drink, you can consume about any amount within a couple of hours and still drive home, but it would be the most discomforting gastrointestinal malady you've ever felt.
Actually, that's what it felt like all day today. I tried to go see Armageddon, and I stopped at McDonald's to eat first. Half of a chicken mcnugged meal produced a new world record stomach malady, and I was almost certain I would end up in the hospital. In fact, I was driving faster than hell down I-5 toward the hospital, vowing that if I was still in pain when I got to the James St. exit, I would drive straight to Harborview ER and check in. It calmed down before that – it usually does.
Ray Miller says he wants to write a book about me writing Rumored to Exist. Not a documentary, but a weird through-his-eyes postmodern tale of horror. I am flattered, but aside from that, I think it's one of the coolest ideas I've heard before. On the tale of my failed attempt at book3, it's not so shocking, but this was completely out of the blue. Just the other day, I told Michael that I wished Ray quit everything else and started writing books. It's not that I dislike the music stuff and the zine, but I could really see Ray turning into some kind of all-out Burroughs-esque skullfuck of a writer. So I hope he does a little work on this.
I think I'm back on Rumored to Exist now, but not at this second. I need to keep working though.
And I need to eat now. Chicken noodle soup, maybe? We'll see.

It's the Fourth of July. My opinion:
I'm not anti-society, society's anti-me
I'm not anti-religion, religion is anti-me
I'm not anti-tradition, tradition is anti-me
I'm not anti-anything, I just wanna be free
I'm hoping that while all of the idiots are watching fireworks, I'll be able to watch movies in an empty theatre.
It's been three years since I pulled into town, which seems sort of weird. It seems like thirty years ago in a way, but sometimes it doesn't. Last night, I was watching old episodes of ROX, a show that Bart Everson and a few other people made for public access. The shows I have on tape are from 1994, and remind me a lot of that summer – that era: running around in my Mustang with Larry, working at the support center, trying to find a comfortable spot in the mediocrity of Indiana that I could call my own. The ROX gang seemed to have this weird pseudo-hippie commune of cool people doing cool things, and I was always envious of that. It seemed like both me and Larry tried to find other things or activities that would make our pathetic lives seem more Kerouac-like (or GG Allin-like, or Irwin Rommel-like, or whatever.) The ultimate act of adventure finally happened when both of us left town, sick of Bloomington and eager to find that safe haven in a real city.
I guess I haven't found that yet, although I haven't tried as hard as I did in the summer of 1994. My life here in Seattle could've probably happened in Bloomington, except for my job. I don't leave the house much, and I could easily type away at a computer in the Varsity Villas as I could here. Bloomington now has a Barnes and Noble, and there's a few places to buy CDs. But I do like it here better. It's just a matter of getting out and doing stuff. I think next year, I am moving into a place in the student ghetto near UW. I want a single apartment or maybe a 2-bedroom house, with no roommates, but I want to be close to the action. I want to be able to walk to the Ave on a Saturday afternoon, eat some shitty Chinese food, and buy some good used books and CDs, while checking out the sights and sounds. That's what I miss about Bloomington, and I want to be close to it. Close to all of the wannabe poets and people in weird grad programs I've never heard of, studying dead languages and talking about postmodern deconstrution as flippantly as an Indiana resident might discuss NASCAR.
It's 2:46 and I haven't eaten or showered. Time to get on it.

The rockets are red glaring over lake union. I just went on the deck here at the apartment, and I had a beautiful view of the shitty dreariness of skyscraper park, which blocked my view of the aerials. Oh well, saw 'em last year.
Three years. I never celebrated anniversaries when I was in Bloomington, since there were so many gaps of living in my mom's basement here and there. When I started my first good run, it ended and I moved here. But three years ago was The Big Rebirth, when I planned to change it all – write books, meet women, buy stuff, live the life. And now, 1096 days later, I'm depressed as hell because I haven't.
The only other anniversary that causes me this much grief is October 30. That's the night, in 1993, that Tanya left me, and started what became a minor Big Rebirth. Every year after that, I celebrated another year of singularity – not just to whine "I still don't have a girlfriend", but to signify that I was drifting deeper and deeper into the abyss. And even in 1997, when I had a girlfriend, I celebrated in the strangest way possible – I flew back to Bloomington. Yes, when I planned my fall visit last year, it wasn't scheduled because of my new nephew or Simms' kick-ass party or the weather or my work schedule. I specifically flew back so I could be in Bloomington on October 30, 1997. And each year, no matter how far I've gone, I haven't done anything if I still think about that date. I don't even remember what she looks like anymore, but I still have to stop and think about how much things have changed since.
July 4 is different, usually because I'm around other people and watching fireworks and eating barbeque and I don't think about this stuff. But this year, I didn't have any plans and it rained, and I sat in my apartment eating a turkey pot pie and replaying the last three years in my mind. I never wrote the books – I'm still stalled with the same two that are always on the roster. I'm single, through no fault of my own, but I don't think that was in the original plan. I've bought some stuff and paid some bills, but I'm probably just as much in debt now as I was in 1995. I can count my friends in this town one one hand, and I don't feel like I'm part of some tight-knit community or even a loose circle of friends. I could go on like this but it gets ugly – the point is, it feels that in three years, I've accomplished what the average human could do in a few days. It makes me wonder what I should do in the next year to change that.
Whew. I saw Armageddeon today. I could see why reviewers are panning it, but I thought it was a pretty kick-ass movie. Very funny, very edge-of-the-seat, and it really pulled at your gut. It was way better than Deep Impact, in my opinion. Of course, Deep Impact didn't have Liv Tyler…
Time to get to work. If the fireworks traffic wasn't blocking the whole damn universe, I'd go for a little midnight drive. Maybe I will a bit later…

Always learning, always unlearning
When I first studied with Pichet in 1999, I had been practicing Thai massage professionally for three years and had studied with two different teachers. I knew by the second day that Pichet was the teacher I wanted to study with. I also realized I would have to start learning all over again.
That first time, I studied with him for six weeks, to unlearn what I had learned before, and to feel confident with his style and begin to incorporate his guiding principles into my practice. Each time I return to study with him, I have to start over again in some way, because he is always changing things slightly, and I always have more to learn. He may even change what he teaches from one day to the next.

Beginner's mind is best
Prior experience in Thai massage is just as likely to be a liability as an asset. There may be some value in knowing some techniques and moves, but there may be just as much to unlearn, because of differences in styles among teachers. Pichet is emphatic about using our bodies properly and effortlessly, and about "sensing," which means tuning in to the person receiving, knowing how much pressure to use where, what is connected to what, and when to use certain stretches and omit others. Other teachers may talk about the same concepts, but Pichet demonstrates them more thoroughly and consistently than anyone else I have met. His skills in body reading and palpation are unmatched, and he is amazing at quickly assessing a person's needs and designing a treatment that is right for that person in that moment. Therefore, the actual moves, techniques and sequences are secondary, and of value only to the extent that they support the fundamental principles of clear energy, sensitivity, mindfulness, good body mechanics, flow and economy of movement. Consequently, a student with previous Thai massage experience would be wise to have a beginner's mind while studying with Pichet. A little bit of humility, and willingness to start all over again, will go a long way.
Class size and structure
Pichet's classes, as all classes in Thailand, tend to be more full during peak tourist season, which is November through March. During the hot season, April through June, or the rainy season, July through October, there may be fewer students. Something that sets Pichet's classes aside from others is the relative lack of structure. Other Thai massage schools and teachers try to cater to western comfort zones by sticking to a syllabus, so you know exactly what material will be taught in a given week or ten-day period. Even though there is less structure In Pichet's classes, I always learn exactly what I need to learn, as long as I am patient and trusting.There may be diversions, sidetracks and order changes, but somehow it all works out at the end of the day.
There are no levels in Pichet's classes. In the same class, there may be people who teach Thai massage, advanced students and people who have no background at all in any type of body therapy. It all works, and all the more so when students accept it all as being perfect.
Making Arrangements
It is a good idea to call Pichet at the end of the week before you plan to begin studying with him. Good times to call are Monday – Friday 8:00 – 9:00 AM and 4:30 – 8:00 PM, Thailand time. Mornings are best since he is almost always home prior to beginning class. If you are a new student, introduce yourself, perhaps mention a recommendation, and kindly ask if he will allow you to study with him beginning the following Monday. Classes are Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. His classroom is located in the village of Hang Dong, about a 20 minute bus ride from the center of Chiang Mai. Especially if you are a new student, I recommend that you ask if you may visit his class the week before you plan to start studying with him. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays are preferable, as by then the class has started to settle in and to run smoothly enough to permit a visitor. Opening prayers are usually around 9:15 – 9:30 AM, followed by discourse.
James Peckham has been practicing and studying traditional Thai massage since 1996, and has returned to Thailand regularly to continue his studies with Pichest Boonthumme.

The days are decidedly cooler and nighttime temperatures are dropping to around that 50 F mark tonight.
So, someone oughta get going around here because before I know it, the weatherman is going to start throwing around the dreaded "F" word, frost, and I won't be ready.
Someone oughta pick these peppers and give them away or cut 'em up to freeze for chili in the winter time. Nothing warms you like chili in the winter that's warmed up by your own homegrown jalapeno peppers.
Someone oughta replant this perennial!
Have you ever seen such a poor job of planting? It's not deep enough, not watered enough and not mulched enough. In my defense...
This perennial came in a one gallon plastic pot, but clearly within that pot it was growing primarily in a smaller peat pot. I thought I had planted it deep enough, but that peat pot sticking up is a problem. It will 'wick away' the moisture around the plant, for one thing.
I had almost given this plant up for dead, but that little bit of green means it is still alive. But it will never make it through the winter if I leave it like this. I need to dig it up, replant it just a bit deeper, MULCH it, and then water it well and continue to water it until at least the first frost.
Someone oughta finish off this sunflower seed head.
Then when the birds have done their part, I need to cut it down and chip it up for the compost bin. I always leave my sunflowers for the birds to eat. I like to watch them hanging upside down to pick out the seeds.
Yep, there's a whole lotta oughta going on around here. Guess I oughta get to it.
(Update: Cosmo is right! I oughta link to the very nice interview that Sue of The Balcony Gardener asked me to do. If you think you oughta now more about me, check it out!)

Brotherhood of Terror
Permalink: http://video.google.de/videoplay?docid=-4128028650971058220
For many Americans, the morning of September 11, 2001 made the threat of Islamic Fundamentalism a grave reality. But long before al Qaeda, the roots of the threat to America from the Middle East grew in an organization called the Muslim Brotherhood. Journey to Cairo, Egypt, where the Brotherhood was born in the late 1920s. Learn how Brotherhood members passed radical ideologies to legions of followers, including Ayman Zawahiri, who would become Osama bin Laden's right-hand man. Today, some experts say the Brotherhood could be a powerful ally in fighting the war on terror, while others believe that its dark history makes this movement one that can never be trusted.

Plans to revive Overton Square are shaping up in the new year — literally.
A comprehensive yoga studio, complete with a juice bar and healing arts center, will soon be added to the list of improvements the square will see this year. Owner Olivia Lomax announced last week that Delta Groove Yoga Studio will occupy the space at 2091 Madison, next to Memphis Pizza Café.
Lomax has been teaching yoga for more than 10 years, most recently at Give Yoga in East Memphis. After Give Yoga closed last year, Lomax was approached by Cosmic Coconut co-owner Arielle Moinester about the idea of starting a hybrid pop-up shop combining a yoga studio with a juice bar for December's MEMShop event in Overton Square.
Moinester said that after being contacted by the Mayor's Innovation Delivery Team about setting up a juice bar at MEMShop, she decided to incorporate Lomax into the plan, calling the pop-up shop the Cosmic Collective because it featured juices from Cosmic Coconut's menu, coffee from Bluff City Coffee, and a studio space for yoga.
The Cosmic Collective had such a successful run at the pop-up shop last holiday season that Lomax decided to pursue a permanent location at the historic intersection in Midtown.
"I hadn't really been considering opening in Overton Square. I was thinking of trying to work in a church environment or something more casual," Lomax said. "But after my experience with MEMShop, I saw an opportunity to teach yoga in a relaxed environment, which has always been a dream of mine."
Lomax said that teaching in an area so close to restaurants and cafes will help create bonds between her yoga students and the Midtown environment, in addition to providing a community that other yoga studios can't offer.
"I'm really trying to build a community with the atmosphere, the music, and the openness of the building," Lomax said. "I chose this building because it has such an open atmosphere. One entire wall is glass. There are huge windows that look out over Palm Court. It's going to be beautiful once the courtyard is renovated."
Delta Groove Yoga Studio will also have a light retail section with food and juices from Cosmic Coconut for sale. But Moinester said that there are currently no plans to consider Delta Groove a second location of Cosmic Coconut.
Having her own studio will also allow Lomax to teach the Kundalini style of yoga, a type of yoga that focuses on shorter meditations with quicker results.
"What would take me 12 hours with other yoga takes me 20 minutes with Kundalini. It's hard to explain, but I think people will be very interested to learn this type of yoga," Lomax said.
Lomax plans to open the doors to Delta Groove Yoga Studio by March 1st. Until then, she'll be teaching classes in a temporary location at 2095 Madison. Celebrity yoga teachers Ravi Singh and Ana Brett will be joining Lomax at the temporary location for a weekend session from January 25th through the 27th. The entire workshop is $160, with individual classes also available.
Moinester said that having a yoga studio in Overton Square will make the area more than just a nightlife destination.
"A range of different activities will be offered, which will hopefully bring more vibrancy to the community," Moinester said.

Jason Derulo is set to drop his fourth studio album—which he deems his "greatest work thus far"—and sat down with Got Ur # to chat about the production and concept behind Everything Is 4.
"I think the biggest difference is the element of growth—growth as a man and growth as an artist as well," the 25-year-old explains. "This album, I feel like, is a new beginning. 'Four' is a number of completion, and I feel like one chapter has been completed, and another chapter is beginning."
Derulo also reveals that while he doesn't personally have a Tinder account, he still finds himself on the popular dating app via his family members.
Catch more Jason Derulo on this week's Got Ur # Tuesday at 7/6c. Find Fuse in your area using our channel finder.

PAKO the Feral Cat
I'd like to share with you Pako the Feral cat. He visited my home three months ago in appalling condition not trusting humans even though he was being fed by me regularly . I felt sorry for him because he was under stress every second and wanted to adopt him. It wasn't easy he hissed all the time and didn't trust me and even left for days . This is Pako today . Love heals even a feral broken heart. Animals need our care !

The first photographic images in the late 1820s had to be exposed for hours in order to capture them on film. Improvements in the technology led to this exposure time being drastically cut down to minutes, then seconds, throughout the 19th century. But in the meantime, the long exposures gave us a few unmistakable Victorian photography conventions, such as the stiff postures and unsmiling faces of people trying to remain perfectly still while their photograph was being taken.
