UPDATE: January 21, 2016. I have built an instructable for this make, enjoy.
UPDATE: January 18, 2016. I have uploaded a new .stl file for this make (v1.1), it fixes a number of minor issues with spacing of the screw holes and the USB and HDMI ports.
This hack combined three of my favorite subject retro gaming, electronics (lite) and micro computing. I have been looking for a project to get my feet wet on Raspberry Pi. Browsing thingiverse I found the perfect one, Tomvdb's PI Zero Nes Controller.
I remade his design from scratch to give it a few of the upgrades that people recommended in the comments, plus a few of my own, including a thicker base and mount points to screw down the Pi Zero. These make for a little taller end result, but still very manageable as a controller.

Thanks! I was able to get my hands on an original controller and this fit perfectly.
Side question, what did you use to connect the PiZero to WIFI when running RetroPie? I purchased a wifi dongle from Edimax and have had no luck.
Thanks in advance!
Bought a "NES" remote from Ebay because I also wanted to build one of these =)
But my remote looks nothing like the one you have
But you can take a look at this link: http://forumbilder.se/FAPV5/img-0202
If you know how to connect my ??
Why is it the model I'm downloading has nothing to hold the pi in place?
Those two middle holes do not show up in two different slicers I have used.
If i clicked the download this thing button,I'm guessing it was for your original file. I clicked the download now directly(on the file) and it's all good.
Might want to check that out. thanks.
My controller only seems to work in Emulationstation, but not in the actual roms. I understand that SNESDev might be the problem. Any idea what to do ? How do I switch from the default snes controller in gamecon to NES ?
Could some one point me in the right direction to how to hook this up to a battery and a charge controller because this would be sweet of a battery.
I meant to mention this would be so I can use a mini hdmi to hdmi cable rather than the adaptpr theres nothing worse than losing the hdmi signal whilst blasting those invaders. mini hdmi diameter 16 mm x 10 mm, hence why the base has to be a little deeper. i'm a noob at 3d printing and not quite got my head round cad design.
Ive made a couple of these so far, could you make the design a little deeper and a wider slot for the hdmi cable for a snug fit. So I dont have to cut into the top part of the controller. This would be much appreiciated.
Awesome project!! I am looking to create this for a present to my brother-in-law. Is there anyway you can post what NES wires go to which GPIO pins?? Like yellow - 2, white - 25, etc.? My eyes are shot and it was hard to see each one on your pictures. Also, are there any changes made to the existing gamecon_gpio_rpi software?? So glad that you made this. If I had skills in the 3d department I would totally make an SNES one for myself.
Hope this helps (included the function if, like me, you have a knock-off controller with nonstandard colors)
White - Pin 1 (+3.3V)
Brown - Pin 6 (GND)
Yellow - Pin 7 (DATA)
Red - Pin 19 (CLK)
Orange - Pin 23 (LATCH/PULSE/STROBE/ETC)
Those are the same pin placements that I used, thanks critter42. I did not make any changes to the gamecon_gpio_rpi software, I did need to modify /etc/modules to make sure that it had the right controller map (for me that is gamecon-gpio-rpi map=0,0,2,0,0,0). The gamecon default is for SNES controllers.
The gamecon README is very helpful once you figure out what the codes mean.
I may do an SNES in the future, but right now I am working on a PS2 controller.
Thanks for the comments.

* I don't dispute any of the numbers in this Tribune editorial that blasts Senate President John Cullerton's pension reform bill…
OK, I get it. We all get it.
But notice how the Tribune never made those claims about the little school kids and DCFS when it was screaming about how the General Assembly should not raise the income tax rate a few years ago.
When worker pension payments eat into government programs, that's bad for the children. But cutting many of those same programs beneficial to children in order to avoid an income tax hike? Well, that's just good government.

Michigan State got a lot of production from the power forward position the last few seasons thanks mostly to Adreian Payne. Now that Payne has moved on and is now playing for the Atlanta Hawks, it's time for Tom Izzo to figure out who will replace him. These are a few of his options along with my prediction as to who will be the starter.
At this point, Marvin Clark is probably best known by Spartan fans as "Tum Tum" Nairn's high school teammate. Nairn, a fellow 2014 MSU recruit, comes to MSU with a lot more hype and excitement surrounding him than Clark, but don't let his lack of recruiting stars fool you–Marvin Clark can play.
Clark is a left-handed 6-foot-7, 225 pound forward whose size and skill-set allows him to do a lot of different things well. He averaged almost 22 points per game his senior year in high school, so he is no stranger to scoring.
Clark's body looks to be ready for the college game right now, but then again that is what most people were saying this time last year about Gavin Schilling. While Schilling struggled his freshman year despite his mature frame, Clark seems to have a better chance of succeeding this year because of his more polished offensive game.
It will be extremely difficult for Clark to come in and earn a starting job right away, but look for him to make an impact off the bench by providing some scoring punch.
There isn't that much to say about Branden Dawson that hasn't been said before.
He is still a freak athlete who can jump out of the gym and throw down highlight reel dunks, but his inconsistent play continues to baffle and frustrate Spartan fans. Maybe something will click for Dawson in his senior year, knowing this is his last chance to prove to NBA scouts, and himself, that he can play at a high level consistently. He showed signs of it in the postseason last year, but the question still remains as to whether or not he can sustain that performance over the course of an entire season.
As far as his fit at power forward is concerned, he is slightly undersized height-wise at just 6-foot-6 but what he lacks in height he makes up for in athleticism. He led the team in rebounding last season with 8.3 per game, many of which came on the offensive glass where he has dominated since coming to Michigan State.
Despite all the questions about his consistency, Dawson still has all the skills necessary to be a dominant power forward in the B1G.
The most pleasant surprise last season for Michigan State was the emergence of Kenny Kaminski. Spartan fans had heard the stories about Kaminski's shooting prowess in practice but were forced to curb their enthusiasm because they had heard the same stories a few years earlier about Russell Byrd, and we all know how that turned out.
Kaminski managed to prove that he isn't just a practice shooter, nailing over 49 percent of his 3-pointers last season. The addition of a knock-down shooter like Kaminski opened up the offense for the rest of the team by forcing the defense to stretch all the way out to him on the 3-point line.
The questions about Kaminski are his defense and physicality. He struggled to find the floor early on in the season because he couldn't play defense up to Izzo's standards, but eventually he figured it out enough to earn over 12 minutes per game. As far as his physicality and rebounding are concerned he has size at 6-foot-8, 225 pounds, but he averaged just 1.5 rebounds per game last season.
Kaminski is the ideal "stretch-4" that coaches covet nowadays, but Tom Izzo likes players who can defend and rebound, neither of which are Kaminski's strengths.
I believe Izzo will go somewhat small with his starting lineup by playing Branden Dawson at power forward. His defense and rebounding make him one of the most valuable players on the team, and power forward is the position where he can do the most damage.

Crowd on Saturday night before parade swells, leading to increased police presence; no serious crimes reported on strip over 2-day period
Dallas police officers reported 13 arrests for public intoxication on the Saturday night before and on the Sunday afternoon of the Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade on Sept. 14.
Dallas Police Department Sgt. Keith Allen said seven arrests were made on Saturday night on the Cedar Springs Road entertainment strip, and six were made in the same area on Sunday. Only two crimes one vehicle burglary and one pickpocket were reported during the parade, he said.
Allen said the arrests on Saturday night were attributed to the increase of visitors to the entertainment strip because of the parade the next day. More officers were assigned to patrol the strip, he said.
"If you have more people you are going to have more people who aren't responsible in the way they behave," Allen said. "Overall, there was nothing outrageous or unexpected nothing that caused any drain on our resources."
Two lesbians who got into a fight were among those arrested for public intoxication, according to visitors to the strip on Saturday night.
Allen said it is common for police to arrest people who are drinking and get into fights.
"If they're out there in public involved in an altercation, we'll arrest them for public intoxication just to quell that and give them a chance to regain their senses and go about their business eight hours later," Allen said.
The increased numbers on the strip apparently also led to Havana's cutting the Mr. Gay Dallas/Mr. Dallas Pride pageant in half to manage the crowd inside and outside of the club. Contestants competed in only two events, instead of the four planned ones.
The contestants were allowed to show club wear and swimsuits, but the talent and interview segments were cancelled.
David Bieberitz, who attended the event, said in an e-mail that the early end of the pageant had upset contestants and customers.
A long line reportedly had formed at the door, and police officers told the club management to take action to eliminate the crowd on the sidewalk.
"The promoter was in tears and didn't know what to say," Bieberitz said. "Contestants and paying customers for the pageant were upset for being gypped out of what should have been a great Pride weekend event."
Bieberitz said that there was a big birthday bar under way in the club at the same time of the pageant, adding to the congestion.
Allen said it is common for police officers to instruct club managers to prevent customers from ganging up outside of the bars.
"That's one of the things we work on with all off our clubs," Allen said.
"You've got to have order maintenance at the door."
Allen said this summer police have seen less trouble on the strip than in previous years.
"This summer for whatever reason has been much more mild than previous summers have been," Allen said. "Offenses and arrests are way down."

10 Best Rock Songs of 2013
The best rock songs of 2013 come from a diverse group of artists, with several veteran acts taking the spotlight this year. Bands like Alice in Chains, Korn, AFI and Bad Religion all proved that they're still thriving after 20-plus years in the game. Meanwhile, acts like Avenged Sevenfold and Stone Sour, who've dominated the 2000s, continued to reign in 2013. We had some very tough choices to make in narrowing the standout tunes of 2013 down to a list of the 10 finest, but we feel like these tracks stood out among the rest. Check out our list of the 10 Best Rock Songs of 2013 below:
'Earth Rocker'
With the title track off their critically acclaimed album 'Earth Rocker,' Clutch deliver a throwback rock anthem. The song features blistering guitars and a monstrous vocal from frontman Neil Fallon. The tune is pure aggression and pure rock 'n' roll from beginning to end.
'There's No Going Back'
Sick Puppies know a thing or two about creating rock radio hits, and 'There's No Going Back' is among the band's most infectious tunes ever. The lead single off their 'Connect' album features a call-and-response chorus that gets stuck in your head upon first listen, making it one of the catchiest hard rock songs of the year.
'True North'
Bad Religion have been churning out infectious and thought-provoking punk-rock songs for more than 30 years, and the title track off their 2013 album 'True North' is no exception. Despite only clocking in at 2:15, the song packs a punch and features incredibly intriguing lyrics written by frontman Greg Graffin.
'Hail To the King'
Avenged Sevenfold have their share of detractors, but there's a reason they're one of the biggest bands on the hard rock scene. Their latest disc, 'Hail to the King' is an ambitious album that delivers throwback riffs with a modern twist. The epic title track is one of the biggest rock anthems of the year.
'Love & Meth'
Korn fans were excited when guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch officially rejoined the band in 2013, but little did they know he was working on a new album with the guys for several months. While the band released the radio friendly 'Never Never' as the first single off 'The Paradigm Shift,' it's the track 'Love & Meth' that truly captures the impact of Head's return to the band, as he and Munky deliver some soaring riffs.
'I Appear Missing'
Six years since the release of their previous album, Queens of the Stone Age returned to both critical acclaim and fan adoration in 2013 with the disc '… Like Clockwork.' While there's a number of standout tracks, the soaring tune 'I Appear Missing' is a perfect example of the beautiful sonic landscapes the band displays throughout the entire album.
'Cut Me Some Slack'
The stars aligned when Dave Grohl set out to make his 'Sound City' documentary, for which he collaborated with a number of rock luminaries, but none bigger than Paul McCartney. The former Beatle joined forces with the surviving Nirvana members on the track 'Cut Me Some Slack' and the result was nothing short of amazing.
'I Hope You Suffer'
Fans got their first taste of AFI's new album 'Burials' with the track 'I Hope You Suffer,' and it was immediately clear that singer Davey Havok and company were back in a big way. The musically haunting track features one of the most powerful choruses of any song released in 2013, with Havok spilling his emotional guts into the lyrics.
Alice in Chains intended 'Hollow' as a preview track off 'The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here' before actually releasing an official first single. However, the song caught on quickly and rose to No. 1 on the rock singles chart — and deservedly so. The track features Jerry Cantrell and William DuVall harmonizing over a powerful riff that harkens back to AIC's classic sound.
'Do Me a Favor'
In April of 2013, Stone Sour hit rock fans with 'House of Gold & Bones Part 2,' continuing the triumphant musical story they began telling in 2012 with 'Part 1.' Among the standout tracks on 'Part 2′ is 'Do Me a Favor,' a song that combines aggressive verses, an infectious chorus and some incredible musicianship. Corey Taylor & company did rock fans a great big favor releasing this track, which earns the No. 1 spot on our list of the 10 Best Songs of 2013.

Bump watch!
British singer Lily Allen, 25, showed off her growing belly at the London premiere of Tamara Drewe Monday.
"Its Elle magazine's 25th birthday issue this month," Allen tweeted before the premiere. "There's a party tonight to celebrate but I can't go. Sorry Elle. It's the premiere for my mum's film Tamara Drewe, so I'm going there instead." See more photos of Lily's baby bump!
Allen -- who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Sam Cooper after suffering a miscarriage in January 2008 -- admits that she's still adjusting to her pregnancy curves.
"I'm aware of the fact that I've put on a considerable amount of weight, and I didn't want it to become a talking point," she tweeted in August just after confirming her pregnancy. "I'm feeling vulnerable enough as it is. Hence the jeans and pyjama top. Just wanted to be relaxed and not think about all that."

WACO—Baylor University regents authorized a fund-raising initiative to build a $17 million alumni event center at Baylor Stadium.
Regents also approved up to $2.5 million for site preparation, a feasibility study and architectural renderings for the center on the south side of the stadium plaza.
Plans include a 40,000-square-foot multistory glass building with space for meetings and banquets.
Part of original plan
"The alumni event center was part of our original plan, but we were forced to cut it from the project because of the overall cost of construction," said Ken Hall, senior vice president for university development and strategic initiatives.
"Now, with the great momentum we're experiencing as Baylor Nation responds to stadium fund raising, seat options and even stadium bricks, we have a renewed sense of optimism and confidence that we can raise the support necessary to fund construction of a new event center for Baylor alumni."
The center would replace the Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center, and regents announced their decision three days before scheduled mediation regarding that building's demolition.
A federal judge called for mediation to resolve a dispute between Kurt Dorr, a Baylor alumnus from Naperville, Ill., the Baylor Alumni Association and Baylor University.
Baylor insists it needs the site of the Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center to create a plaza leading to a pedestrian bridge that will connect the main university campus to Baylor Stadium, across the Brazos River.
Restraining order
Dorr successfully obtained a temporary restraining order that halted demolition, and it remains in effect until mediation is completed.
In other action, regents approved $2 million for additional design work on the planned $100 million Paul L. Foster Campus for Business and Innovation, new home of the Hankamer School of Business. The university expects to break ground on the 275,000-square-foot building by December.

TAMPA — USF had been there before, with a high-ranked opponent on the ropes in the closing seconds, needing one shot, one last stop, only to see history slip away.
Facing No. 8 Marquette, the last remaining team undefeated in Big East play, the Bulls got that shot then got that stop, picking up a historic upset Friday night in the Sun Dome.
Dominique Jones hit a layup with 15 seconds left to put USF ahead. Then the Bulls saw not one but two Marquette shots bounce out in the final two seconds. The 57-56 win is USF's first over a Top 10 team in 38 seasons of basketball and 28 tries, a landmark victory before a crowd of 5,316.
"It's very special, one of the more special wins I've ever had," said coach Stan Heath, who had been 0-10 against ranked teams at USF. "I don't want this to be the last one. I'd like to have more conversations like this in the future."
Down one, the Golden Eagles (20-3, 9-1) called a timeout with 10 seconds left, and Heath chose a man-to-man defense, hoping it would limit second shots. Their top scorer, Jerel McNeal, fouled out with 54 seconds left, so Wesley Matthews got the call.
He drove to the basket and saw his layup bounce off the rim. Lazar Hayward got a good look at a putback, but it, too, bounced out.
"I'm really surprised that shot didn't go in," Heath said. "He had a close tip. I don't know, but God was with us. We had a little favor, but we did enough things well to give ourselves a chance."
USF, whose three Big East wins match the most in any of its three seasons in the league, was methodical on offense and persistent on defense, holding Marquette to 25 points below its average and 4-of-24 shooting on 3-pointers.
The Bulls (8-14, 3-7), who led by as many as 10 in the first half, trailed 47-42 with eight minutes left when Jesus Verdejo took over, scoring their next 11 points. He used his speed in transition, getting two fastbreak layups, then hit a 3-pointer that bounced off the rim and in.
"This is for the fans. They've been here the longest," said Verdejo, who finished with 21 points, his most in a Big East game.
Marquette went 10-for-23 on free throws, and McNeal made one of two shots with 1:14 left to give it a 56-55 lead. Jones forced McNeal's fifth foul but missed the front end of a one-and-one.
After forcing a turnover, USF got a layup from Jones and foul with 15 seconds left. But he again missed the free throw, keeping it a one-point game.
"When I missed them, I told everybody, 'I'm sorry I missed them. Just buckle down on D with me. We've got 10 seconds,' " said Jones, who scored 15. "Zeus (Verdejo) was like, 'Hey, we've got your back.' That's when the team came together and got a stop."

NOW Applauds Obama Administration's Movement toward Allowing Access to Over-the-Counter Emergency Contraceptive Without Age Restrictions
Statement of NOW President Terry O'Neill
WASHINGTON - The National Organization for Women is encouraged by the Obama administration's promise to federal district court Judge Edward R. Korman that it will withdraw its appeal of his ruling, in which the FDA was ordered to make all forms of emergency contraception available over the counter without age restrictions. With access to this safe and effective product, women of all ages will be able to take immediate action to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex.
Study after study has demonstrated that emergency contraception is an effective and safe way of preventing unwanted pregnancies. After a decade of wrangling over access to this medication, it is time for common sense and science-based medicine to win the day. NOW calls on the Obama administration to comply with Judge Korman's order without delay and without qualification.
Buoyed by this victory, NOW activists across the country will continue to work to advance reproductive justice and defeat the radical right forces that play politics with women's lives.
The National Organization for Women (NOW) is the largest organization of feminist activists in the United States. NOW has 500,000 contributing members and 550 chapters in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Friendly Hotel
I stayed at this hotel with my Husband as we went to an Indian wedding in Smethwick.
I wasn't sure at first what the hotel would be like but was pleasantly surprised. The Staff are so friendly and accommodating and the lounge upstairs is amazing, television, games console, books it felt very comfortable and it was lovely to come back from the wedding a chill in the lounge and enjoy a nightcap with the 24 hour bar service. Couldn't fault it at all. Would definitely stay again.

It was ok
Pentahotel was visually impressive upon arrival, rooms were clean but a little small.
I opted for a deluxe room but if this was a deluxe room then I'd hate to see a normal room. Free Wifi was a waste of time, 0.06Mbps.

Parking Fees expensive
Hotel was a great location.
Was clean. Staff very good. The breakfast that we decided not to have as it was £15. And to park there that was also so expensive £16 for 24 hours. Cheaper places. They give free WiFi and also movies.

Great team at Pentahotel
The people working here are great - so welcoming and helpful...
The lounge on 1st floor is superb - the room was fine but very noisy neighbours until the early hours (just unlucky). Location is close to Mailbox so close to canals and restaurants and bars ... Great for overnight stay.

Very relaxing space
Really enjoyed our stay, lovely decor and the feel through out was very chilled.
Didn't have breakfast as wanted a lie in. We did sit in the lounge with a coffee before we left, which was lovely. We hope to visit again soon!

Is your kid a reluctant learner?
Find out how to get your kid excited about being back at school. more
In 2009, over 3000 Australians were admitted to hospital with fire-related injuries. Knowing how to keep your home fire safe, as well as what to do if a fire does occur, will help you keep your family safe. Here are our top ten fire safety tips at home:
Not only do baby walkers enable very young children to get very quickly into perilous situations on stairs and slippery surfaces, but they also allow them to get close to potential fire hazards like heaters, open fires and irons. Think hard about using baby walkers for these reasons and if you do choose to use one, make sure that the area being used is clear of fire hazards at all times.
When buying heaters, always choose a model that has an automatic safety switch which will turn the heater off immediately if it is tipped over while it is on.
Most pyjamas for kids are now made of non-flammable fabric – but it is always worth checking on the label before you buy new pjs. It is also worth checking dressing gowns and slippers too to ensure that your littlies are as fire-safe as possible.
With one in three house fires starting in the kitchen, it is important never to leave cooking pots and pans unattended and be sure to turn off all appliances when you have finished cooking. If a fire starts in one of your cooking pots, place a lid over the pot immediately to starve the fire of oxygen.
Know how to put out kitchen fires appropriately – water should never be used to put out oil fires as this can actually spread the fire. Always use a fire blanket or fire extinguisher on oil fires.
Ideally your house is equipped with a fire extinguisher and/or fire blanket to tackle fires quickly before they can really take hold, but it also helps to take the following simple steps:
Fire is fascinating to children, so it is no wonder that many house fires are started accidentally by kids. By keeping all fire starters – matches, lighters, candles – out of reach, you will keep temptation out of little hands. It is best to keep all fire starters together up high and out of sight.
Know what to do if a fire starts at home – it only takes a couple of minutes for fire to get out of control, so knowing what you have to do in the case of a fire emergency is really important. Make sure you have a fire escape plan and everyone understands and can follow it.
With children in the house, it is important to practice with a fire drill a couple of times a year so they remember what to do. Ideally, you will have a Plan B as well – in case obvious exit points are blocked by fire. Teach them to follow the fire escape plan alone so they can help themselves if you are prevented from getting them to safety. Arrange a meeting point at a safe distance from the house where you can all gather.
Electric and gas heaters can easily cause fires if they are not kept in an area that is free from contact with flammable materials such as curtains, furniture and bedding. Be sure to teach your children to always keep themselves, as well as potential fire hazards such as toys and books, well away from heaters at all times.
It is often a good idea – particularly with small children – to create a no-go zone around heaters (using brightly coloured masking tape does the job well) so they are never tempted to creep in closer to the heater than is safe.
Ensure your home is fitted out with smoke alarms in or near bedrooms. Photoelectric smoke alarms are the best type of smoke alarm for homes because they quickly detect both flaming and smouldering fires. Smoke detectors should be tested monthly, and if you have battery-operated alarms make a date to change the batteries at least once a year.

I recently came across this brand while i was away in italy. I thought to be honest the prices were too cheap, and assumed the make up would be terrible. My partner convienced me to give it ago as spending only a little money on the make up wouldnt be the end of the world. I was running low on lipstick so tried it out. I brought the lipstick.
Its amazing! and for sucha low price. They're colours that they have suit absoloutly everyone ! I personally perfer a more subtle tone of lipstick that isn't too showy, so they had a wide range of colour choices for me, then they went to the bright flashly colours, and also the darker colours.
They really do cater for everyones taste, The lipstick seemed to really last, i think throughout the course of the day I only have to apply it two or three times! it leaves a beautiful tint to your lips thats longlasting. The types that I chose had a subtle shine to it which really stood out.
The next day I just had to go back to the shop and stock up! I also tried their foundation and concealer which provides the same affects as the more expensive brands.
They definitely deserve to be a more well unknown and appreciated brand, I would 100% swap all my make up over to this brand without a shadow of a doubt. I would really like to see them more adverstised.
if the prices werent low enough all the time they are always having sales! they had a buy three get three for free on recently!
I had never come across the brand Kiko before but on a recent trip in Westfield shopping centre in London with my aunt who was visiting from Bristol (she has an obsession with make up and cosmetics by the way!) she saw this one off Kiko store which was having a sale and so of course we entered.
They had a wide range of mascaras, endless amounts of lipglosses and of course lipstick which was on sale for £3! Not one to resist bargain (even though I don't tremendously wear lipstick myself as I think my lips are too big and products like this just emphasises my flaws!) I picked up a shade 84 red lipstick. There are around 29 shades of this lipstick on the kiko cosmetic website but in store there were about 20 to choose from.
It is encased in a black carboard box, and inside is a black lipstick tube with a silver rim where it is opened. As usual with lipstick, the stick pops up with a swivel of the base. It has Kiko in silver writing on the lid so it does look quite stylish still, albeit a bit basic.
The lipstick itself is actually quite creamy, and so moisturises my lips with application aswell as giving good coverage to cover any cracks I may have in my lips. I usually use my vaseline or nivea lip care as a base to give added moisture so the colour can stay put for longer. The red I chose isn't overly bold (thank god!) so I actually find it quite compliments my lips, although it does look a bit dull so I usually top it off with some gloss just to give a small shine. Putting this combination together, voila! I have quite a good look going on and I am feeling rather impressed with myself! Especially since I vowed not to wear lipstick, and even more so the fact I got it for a mere 3 quid! It doesn't feel like a cheap value brand of lipstick and so I really like it.
It does leave it's mark quite easily such as on cups/glasses I drink out of, but I figured that's what lipsticks do right? So I don't quibble too much lol.
Overall, it's long lasting, looks great and for £3 it does the job for me so I would definitely recommend and if I am brave enough I may venture and try some new colours!
Lip products are probably my favourite group of makeup products. They are easy to put on and they make your face look complete. This is a lipstick I got a while ago in the KIKO shop in Westfield Stratford. I haven't used it for ages and then I discovered it again in my makeup collection yesterday and it's such a beautiful lipstick.
First off, the packaging is gorgeous and looks like it is a really high end brand. It is encased in a kind of holographic/ light gold case with KIKO on the front then on the top there is a little dimple which you press and then the lipstick case pops out at the bottom. It's a really unique packaging design and I really like it!
Obviously the main thing I love about this lipstick is the shade, it is 602, Natural Rose and is the perfect ' My Lips but better' colour. I just love this colour, it is a nude but it's not nude enough to make you look like you have concealer lips or that you're dead!! It's got just the right amount of pink in and it's a gorgeous shade. The texture is beautiful too, it's so smooth yet it stays on for so long which is odd for a moisturising type lipstick, they normally slide right off your face!!
And for all of this, these lipsticks are only £6.90!! These are the most bargainous lipsticks ever!! They look like the height of luxury on your dressing table and they feel luxurious on your lips too!! Available here at the KIKO website, or at Westfield Stratford City. Or if you're lucky enough to live in Italy / Europe where they stock KIKO then your local drugstore!!
This review is also on makeupbykatyg.blogspot.com
I purchased some KIKO products last year when I was in Germany for myself and my daughter. We usually buy MAC products and found that the KIKO eye shadows were practically identical with their vibrant colours. My daughter usually won't use any other foundation but MAC, but she loved the KIKO foundation I brought back for her and then pinched mine when hers had ran out! It is excellent value for money and when I return to Germany in May I will definitely be trying their other products.
Smart Lipstick
*About the brand*
Kiko is an italian brand and they are based in italy but they have stores in Germany and spain. It is a cosmetic brand and they sell a wide range of products, including, many eyeshadows (see my previous review for more information), body care lines, sun protection lines and they also have a section for men (if limited).
I went to sicily recently and they have a store in Taormina, so I have to go it obviously! I was surprised at the packaging, the quality of the products and the general appearance of the store as it looked like the products were going to be really expensive as they also have MAC like packaging but they are so affordable! I just hope that they make an online store for international buyers soon!
*About the product*
I bought this on a impulse really as I don't usually wear lipstick or anything on my lips really other than lip balm, but this has changed my view on lip products, it is really amazing.
I have the lipstick in the shade classic red or shade number 84. It is a moisturising effect lipstick and it is so pigmented, I only needed 1 to 2 coats of the lipstick and it was super pigmented. It is not as bright as the picture above it is more of a classic red, which is really great.
It applies really smoothly and evenly so the colour is not 'patchy' or uneven. I wore it most of the day when I got back on the ship (as it was a formal night) and it stayed put! It did not really fade, it did not feather, but it did transfer to glasses etc. But this did not surprisingly effect the colour on my lips.
It stays put for ages but the downside to this is that it is a bit difficult to get off! But with some make up remover wipes it is easy, but I couldn't remove it very easily with a wet flannel/cotton pad.
And the best thing about the lipstick.. is that it was only Euro2! Which is amazing and it is the reason why I bought it as I don't really wear lipstick but at Euro2 I thought I would just buy it as you can't get a really really good lipstick with great packaging for about £1.60!
Good points
*Really nice, sleek packaging which makes the products look more expensive than they actually were
*So affordable - at Euro2 each!
*highly pigmented
*Easy to apply
*Dont need to keep reapplying
*Colour stays put
*Moisturising effect - like a semi matte look
*Amazing brand
*Red lipstick is a Very film star/hollywood/glamourous look
*Long lasting
Bad points
*Dont have an online store!
*A bit difficult to get off - make up remover wipes make it easier to get off
Thank you for reading my review

New site not working very well
Hello, I am less than pleased with this new site for Freecycle. I just got a spam from one of our members who I suspect joined just for that purpose. It was from Idaho happy hunter81. They have been deleted as a member and I am sorry I didn't catch it before it happened. On the old site I could require that they live in our area before approval and the new one makes that harder but I think it can still be done. I have not been getting posts from the new site and you probably have not either. They have been working on these problems but meanwhile our group is suffering. I am just about ready to give up on it for the time being and go back to Yahoo groups. I will let you know what I decide to do. Thank You for your patience Leona Gibbs Lemhi County Freecycle Moderator

Anthropological studies in Mexico suggest a similar conclusion: there, the ancestral grass of modern maize, teosinte, was well suited for making beer — but was much less so for making corn flour for bread or tortillas. It took generations for Mexican farmers to domesticate this grass into maize, which then became a staple of the local diet.
Once the effects of these early brews were discovered, the value of beer (as well as wine and other fermented potions) must have become immediately apparent. With the help of the new psychopharmacological brew, humans could quell the angst of defying those herd instincts. Conversations around the campfire, no doubt, took on a new dimension: the painfully shy, their angst suddenly quelled, could now speak their minds.
But the alcohol would have had more far-ranging effects, too, reducing the strong herd instincts to maintain a rigid social structure. In time, humans became more expansive in their thinking, as well as more collaborative and creative. A night of modest tippling may have ushered in these feelings of freedom — though, the morning after, instincts to conform and submit would have kicked back in to restore the social order.

Senator Nozzolio Recognizes 'Harriet Tubman Day' With Resolution In State Senate
This is the second year the commemoration is being observed. Two years ago, a new law sponsored by Senator Nozzolio was enacted that created an annual day of commemoration for Harriet Tubman to be celebrated annually on March 10th.
"Harriet Tubman Day gives us all the opportunity to pause and reflect on the significant and profound impact that Harriet Tubman had on American history," Senator Nozzolio said. "I was pleased to work hard for this law's enactment and am extremely proud that it was adopted. Annual recognition and honor of her strength, determination and selflessness is a fitting tribute to a true American icon. The resolution that will be adopted this year is a reminder of this day of commemoration and the sacrifices she made so that others could live in freedom."
March 10th represents the date of Harriet Tubman's death, in the year 1913. Tubman, one of the most famous conductors on the Underground Railroad, settled in Auburn following the Civil War, and is buried in Auburn's Fort Hill Cemetery.
Other days of commemoration in New York State already enacted include New York State POW/MIA Recognition Day, Korean War Veterans' Day, Women Veterans Recognition Day, Theodore Roosevelt Day, and Pearl Harbor Day.
"As the State Senator representing Auburn, home of Harriet Tubman, it has been one of my top priorities to ensure that the unique history that was made in our region is preserved, honored and celebrated now and in the years to come," said Senator Nozzolio.
"Throughout our nation, more and more tourism activity is focused on visiting historic locations. There is no more beautiful place in the world than the Finger Lakes, and our region has a tremendous historical heritage which Harriet Tubman is part of. We must do everything possible to promote our heritage. Our past can be the key component to our economic future," Senator Nozzolio continued.
"March is recognized as Women's History Month in New York State and it is extremely important that we pay tribute to the remarkable women who have helped shape our history and our lives. A Harriet Tubman day of commemoration is a fitting tribute to a great American heroine from right here in Auburn. It is not a day off, but a day for us all to remember and celebrate her life and her legacy, and the unique history of Auburn and the Finger Lakes region," Senator Nozzolio concluded.

FileDialog.Filter Property
Gets or sets the current file name filter string, which determines the choices that appear in the "Save as file type" or "Files of type" box in the dialog box.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Filter format is invalid.
For each filtering option, the filter string contains a description of the filter, followed by the vertical bar (|) and the filter pattern. The strings for different filtering options are separated by the vertical bar.
The following is an example of a filter string:
Text files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*
You can add several filter patterns to a filter by separating the file types with semicolons, for example:
Image Files(*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF)|*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF|All files (*.*)|*.*
Use the FilterIndex property to set which filtering option is shown first to the user.
The following code example uses the OpenFileDialog implementation of FileDialog and illustrates creating, setting of properties, and showing the dialog box. The example uses the Filter and FilterIndex properties to provide a list of filters for the user. The example requires a form with a Button placed on it and the System.IO namespace added to it.

Heineken Cup Pool 1: Castres v Leinster match preview
Leinster take on French champions Castres knowing that victory will virtually secure their place in the quarter-finals.
Last Updated: 12/01/14 12:01pm
The Irish province could even secure a place in the last eight with a game to spare if they win and Northampton fail to come away from Ospreys with a victory.
But the three-time champions could be in for a very difficult time on Sunday against a Castres team that is unbeaten at their Stade Pierre Antoine fortress in all competitions this season.
Castre are coming off the back of a dull, try-less 15-9 victory over Bordeaux-Begles that took them to third in the Top 14 standings while Leinster produced a clinical second-half display to get past Connacht in the Pro12.
Key pair Rory Kockott and Antonie Claassen will be missing. Both the South African scrum-half and the South African-born France international flanker missed Castres's last Top 14 match against Bordeaux-Begles due to injury.
Kockott has a calf problem while Claassen is suffering from a knee injury.
"It's still a bit too soon for them," said Castres coach David Darricarrere.
Hooker Brice Mach is amongst the replacements but South African prop Michael Coetzee, hooker Mathieu Bonello and wing Romain Martial are not expected to return until the trip to Northampton next weekend.
Three changes
Leinster coach Matt O'Connor makes changes at fly-half and two changes in the back row as he retains 12 players from the team that lost to Northampton in December.
After a strong performance off the bench last weekend against Connacht in the PRO12, Jimmy Gopperth starts at 10.
In the back row, Rhys Ruddock has failed to recover from the calf injury suffered in the second half of the game in the Sportsground and as a result Kevin McLaughlin comes back in after a recent lay off with a thumb injury to take his place at 6.
The other change sees Jordi Murphy retained at 7, with Shane Jennings on the bench.
Gordon D'Arcy and Brian O'Driscoll are once again selected in the centre while Gopperth will be joined at scrum-half by Eoin Reddan.
Castres: 15 Dulin, 14 Grosso, 13 Bai, 12 Lamerat, 11 Evans, 10 Tales (capt), 9 Garcia; 1 Forestier, 2 Marc-Antoine Rallier, 3 Wihongi, 4 Gray, 5 Samson, 6 Babillot, 7 Diarra, 8 Faasalele.
Replacements: 16 Mach, 17 Lazar, 18 Desroche, 19 Caballero, 20 Tomas, 21 Kirkpatrick, 22 Garvey, 23 Peikrishvili.
Leinster: 15 R Kearney, 14 D Kearney, 13 O'Driscoll, 12 D'Arcy, 11 Fitzgerald, 10 Gopperth, 9 Reddan; 1 McGrath, 2 Cronin, 3 Ross, 4 Toner 5 McCarthy, 6 McLaughlin, 7 Murphy, 8 Heaslip (capt).
Replacements: 16 Dundon, 17 O'Connell, 18 Moore, 19 Cullen, 20 Jennings, 21 Boss, 22 Madigan, 23 Kirchner.

Australia's Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation is resorting to crushing nuclear waste into tiny, highly compressed blocks encased in concrete so it can continue to store low-level waste in the heart of southern Sydney at Lucas Heights.
The crushing will be done by a 2000 tonne specially built hydraulic press after 200 litre standard mild steel drums holding the waste have been scanned to ensure they don't exceed WAC (waste acceptance criteria) limits for radioactivity.
After approved drums have been super-compacted they will be encapsulated in customer-designed overpacks using a specialised concrete grout mixture.
"The facility will give the organisation flexibility in future utilisation by reduction in storage volume and permit waste characterisation, decontamination for reuse, recycling and waste minimisation," tender documents from ANSTO say. It has bought several of the mechanical plant sub-systems required. The rest are in design, manufacture, installation and commissioning stages.
Melbourne-based tender specialist TenderSearch advises that ANSTO has a tender out for the engineering services of a specialist company to design, document and commission a facility-based alarm and control system for an integrated SCADA for its long-term storage and disposal integrated waste management facility.
SCADA stands for supervisory control and data acquisition. The closing date for responses for the complex engineering tender is May 31. The SCADA system will operate initially as a facility data logger and alarm system only.
However, it should be designed to allow extension into full supervisory control and integration with other control systems and alarms already in place on various equipment.
The new waste facility has become urgent because more than 13 cubic metres of nuclear waste is due to be returned from France in three years, after reprocessing there to extract plutonium and residual uranium.
The federal government has for decades lacked the will to enforce establishment of a proposed low-level nuclear waste facility somewhere in the remote outback of South Australia or the Northern Territory.

SWINDON ASC, the town's longest established swimming club, has raised £1,200 following a sponsored swim in support of the Guide Dogs For the Blind charity. The event was inspired by Ellie Abrey, one of the club swimmers, after representatives from the charity gave a talk at her school. She was so touched by the cause that she wanted to do something to help.
Alan and Shirley Fletcher, from the charity, were fundraising specifically for the 4pups4Joy Guide Dog appeal – a memorial fund set up following the sudden death of Alan's guide dog Joy. The appeal hopes to ultimately raise £20,000 to fund a new guide dog for Alan.
The sponsored swim took place over two evenings, one at Milton Road Health Hydro and one at The Rec, Highworth. The event saw around 150 swimmers being challenged to swim as far as they could. The distances achieved ranged from 5m to 10,000m depending on the ability of the swimmer. If you would like to donate towards the training of guide dogs for the partially sighted and blind, visit www.4Joy.co.uk.

Florida's Chief Financial Officer Tom Gallagher calls Allstate's plans to raise homeowners' rates in Florida "unconscionable."
Allstate Floridian Insurance Company says it intends to raise rates by 28 percent, on average, effective immediately. The company also says it plans to file a rate request with state regulators in July.
State Sen. Rudy Garcia says the company is sidestepping recent legislation that calls for public hearings when rate filings are above 15 percent on average.

Want to check your connection to the Campsies?
Well there's been a new site which has been designed to do just that.
Loading article content
The Campsie Connections website and interactive map has been built to show the connections of the Campsie villages in Scotland to the rest of the world.
Built by Lennoxtown local Jeremy Jones, who also works for Herald sister company S1jobs, the campsie connections website allows users to enter their link to the Campsies and the places in the world in which they've lived.
The free site, which received funding from the lottery, launched today to mark the day the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games Baton visits Lennoxtown.
The baton itself stops at Lennotown's town hall, called the Campsie Memorial Hall.
The hall was taken over by a village trust in 2010 after East Dunbartonshire Council decided to either close under-used halls or pass them over to community enterprises to run.
Since then, the hall has gone from strength to strength with the help of local volunteers, groups and residents and has also received lottery funding.

Another charter school opening in Pine Bluff aims to prepare students for college, a spokesman said.
Another charter school opening in Pine Bluff aims to prepare students for college, a spokesman said.
The Quest Middle School of Pine Bluff will open its doors for the fall semester in August 2013 to a maximum of 220 students in the fifth through the eighth grades.
The school will be located at 320 S. Blake St., that previously served as the Pine Bluff office of the U.S. Census Bureau and had once served as a discount store next to Sav U Mor grocery store.
The Arkansas State Board of Education approved a request Nov. 1 for Responsive Education Solutions of Lewisville, Texas, to establish the open enrollment charter school in Pine Bluff.
�It will have a college prep curriculum that teaches the students how to implement study skills at an earlier age and prepares them to be independent learners at an earlier age,� said ResponsiveEd Arkansas Regional Director Virginia Perry. �The curriculum is somewhat classical and utilizes innovative teaching methods.
Perry said that the school will add a grade level every year beginning in the fall of 2014 until grades 5 through 12 are offered.
�The high school grades will be housed in a different building,� Perry said.
Perry said that the school aims to have two teachers per grade.
�We plan to hire all Arkansas staff and will be advertising for positions locally and on the ResponsiveEd website,� Perry said.
�Our main mission is to provide our students with hope for the future, to tell them that they can be what they want to be and to teach them the skills that will allow them to continuously learn,� Perry said.
The ASBE also approved requests by ResponsiveEd to open the Premier High School of Little Rock and the Northwest Arkansas Classical Academy in Bentonville for the fall 2013 school term.
ResponsiveEd was founded in 1999 and is currently Texas� largest public charter school holder, with more than 50 public schools located throughout the state, including Premier High Schools, Vista Academies, Quest Middle Schools, iSchool High, Founders Classical Academy, the Foundation School for Autism and the Texas Virtual Academy.
Perry said that the schools operated by ResponsiveEd do not charge tuition because they are open enrollment charter schools and not private schools.

BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Investors got their first look at thousands of cancer drug research abstracts released Wednesday night by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in advance of its closely watched annual meeting. Among the most significant cancer drug data unveiled for the first time Wednesday night came from phase III studies conducted by Aveo Pharmaceuticals ( AVEO) and Exelixis ( EXEL), and randomized phase II studies of drugs discovered by Array BioPharma ( ARRY). New disclosures of cancer drug data were also made available from Arqule ( ARQL), Ariad Pharmaceuticals ( ARIA), Pharmacyclics ( PCYC), Onyx Pharmaceuticals ( ONXX) and Seattle Genetics ( SGEN), among many others. The ASCO annual meeting runs June 1-5 and brings together cancer drug researchers from all over the world to discuss and present new clinical data aimed at treating -- and maybe one day curing -- cancer. Wednesday's release of research abstracts -- short, preliminary summaries of efficacy and safety data from cancer drug clinical trials -- serves as a warm-up for the big event next month. The ASCO abstract release is also a closely watched event for Wall Street because the revelation of new cancer drug data often has a significant effect on biotech and drug stocks. Trading volatility can ramp up significantly for many of the so-called "ASCO stocks" -- particularly small-cap biotech stocks -- in the weeks before the ASCO confab gets started. While investors were flooded with new cancer drug data Wednesday, ASCO did hold back some of the some important and potentially stock-moving research for a more high-profile release at the meeting itself. Key cancer drug data that remains under wrap include results from a phase III study of Johnson & Johnson's ( JNJ) Zytiga in "pre-chemo" prostate cancer patients; a phase III study of Bayer and Onyx's regorafenib in advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors; several Roche/Genentech ( RHHBY) studies, including Avastin in ovarian cancer and TDM-1 in breast cancer (partnered with Immunogen ( IMGN)); melanoma data from GlaxoSmithKline's ( GSK) targeted drug dabrefenib; and a new targeted PD-1 immunotherapy from Bristol-Myers Squibb ( BMY). The following pages summarize new and important cancer drug data released tonight by ASCO from research abstracts for its upcoming annual meeting. Array BioPharma What we already know: Last September, Array partner AstraZeneca ( AZN) announced top-line results from a phase II non-small cell lung cancer study of selumetinib, in which the combination of selumetinib plus docetaxel demonstrated a "numerically greater increase" in survival compared to docetaxel alone. Patients in the study had non-small cell lung cancer with a mutation in the KRAS gene, which makes the tumors harder to treat. What's new in the ASCO abstracts: Median overall survival in the selumetinib/docetaxel arm was 9.4 months compared to 5.2 months for docetaxel alone -- a difference of 4.2 months but not statistically significant. Response rate (37% vs. 0%) and progression-free survival (5.3 months vs. 2.1 months) both favored selumetinib/docetaxel over docetaxel alone with statistical significance. (Abstract No. 7503) Additional ASCO abstracts of note: Take a look at Abstract No. 8511, which reports on early results of a phase II study investigating MEK162 in patients with cutaneous melanoma harboring one of two genetic mutations: BRAFV600 or NRAS. MEK162 is a drug developed by Array and licensed to Novartis ( NVS). Among 29 BRAF-mutant melanoma patients treated with MEK162, there were 1 confirmed and 6 unconfirmed partial responses and 9 patients with stable disease. Among 13 NRAS mutant patients, there were 2 confirmed and 1 unconfirmed partial responses and 4 patients with stable disease.
