Copyright and Fair Use
A healthy copyright system must balance the need to provide strong economic incentives through exclusive rights with the need to protect important public interests like free speech and expression. Fair use is foundational to that balance. It's role is to prevent copyright from stifling the creativity it is supposed to foster, and from imposing other burdens that would inhibit rather than promote the creation and spread of knowledge and learning.
The Fair Use Project (FUP) was founded in 2006 to provide legal support to a range of projects designed to clarify, and extend, the boundaries of fair use in order to enhance creative freedom and protect important public rights. It is the only organization in the country dedicated specifically to providing free and comprehensive legal representation to authors, filmmakers, artists, musicians and other content creators who face unmerited copyright claims, or other improper restrictions on their expressive interests. The FUP has litigated important cases across the country, and in the Supreme Court of the United States, and worked with scores of filmmakers and other content creators to secure the unimpeded release of their work.

Second Circuit Victory for Richard Prince and Appropriation Art
By Julie Ahrens • April 25, 2013 at 6:12 pm
Today the Second Circuit Court of Appeals issued a long-awaited decision in favor of fair use in Cariou v. Prince. Reversing the district court's finding of infringement, the Court held that Richard Prince's use of Patrick Cariou's photographs in 25 of his 30 Canal Series paintings was a fair use. The decision affirms an important tradition in modern art that relies on the appropriation of existing images to create highly expressive works with new meaning.

Intermediary Liability on the Internet - Ashley Hurst - Audio
November 6, 2012
The extent to which internet intermediaries such as Facebook and Google should be liable for unlawful content on the internet is currently facing a great deal of scrutiny in Europe. Like in the US, internet intermediaries in Europe are expected to assist in the prevention of copyright infringement. However, they do not have the wide protection against defamation and privacy claims provided by section 230 of the Communications Decency Act 1996 in the US. Over the last few years, they have therefore found themselves being named in lawsuits in respect of user-generated content.

Debugged and hopefully gleaned some more information. Looks like for a typical drag/drop case, _activateTarget does cache the region for the drop targets and that cache is used in the intersect on the dropMove. However, Y.DD.Delegate sets 'useShim' to false for all of its subnodes, so when sizeShim gets called as part of _activateTarget, no data is cached. For this example, this forces the region to be calculated on all LI elements on EACH mousemove. Perhaps the optimization would be to cache the region of the delegates anyhow, and then detect if there have been any structure changes (DOM insertion, css, etc.) and recreate the cache. I believe that the first sortable example actually did this via syncActiveShims, though it seems it would only have to occur when items in any list are 'bumped' out of the way as part of the drag operation. |

National Journal's National Security Insiders were split down the middle on whether the Obama administration's edits to remove any mention of terrorism from the original public statements on the Benghazi, Libya, attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens showed it deliberately tried to mislead the American public.
National Security Insiders say the U.S. has made missions more secure in the wake of the attack.
Even though President Obama acknowledged chemical weapons use in Syria, nearly two-thirds of National Journal's National Security Insiders believe the American military should not yet intervene in the bloody fight against Bashar al-Assad.

Modern Home Plans
Modern home designs offer clean lines, simple proportions, open plans and abundant natural light, and are descendants of the Bauhaus-influenced International style of architecture, which developed in the 1920s. The most influential architects of modern houses have been Le Corbusier, Mies Van Der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Charles and Ray Eames. Flat or shallow-pitched roofs, large expanses of glass, strong connections to outdoor space, and spare, unornamented walls are distinguishing characteristics of modern home style plans. The lot is often incorporated into the design, turning outdoor space into an alfresco living room. Mid-century modern style homes are increasingly valued for their easy indoor-outdoor flow and provide inspiration for today's Modern house plans. The Case Study House Program in Southern California sponsored by Arts & Architecture magazine was a prominent exemplar of modern home design in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
Many famous modern houses are worth studying for background, hints on details, and ideas for built-ins as you search for your perfect home plan. Here's our top five list of landmark modern houses: Villa Savoye (http://villa-savoye.monuments-nationaux.fr) of 1929 by Le Corbusier at Poissy near Paris. This is the most influential modern house in the world and became the symbol of Machine Age modernism: "the machine in the garden" and the "machine for living." Casa Luis Barragan (http://www.casaluisbarragan.org ) of 1948, by Luis Barragan, in Mexico City. Barragan was Mexico's most influential modern architect and his own house showcases abstract sculptural forms and deft interplays of light and shadow. Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater (http://www.fallingwater.org ) of 1936 at Bear Run, Pennsylvania was the architect's response to European modernism: he rooted his very International Style-looking horizontal planes in the rustic bedrock of the waterfall, an architectural version of "Take That, You Greenhorns!" It is the ultimate essay in contradiction. If, as he is reputed to have said, he just shook the design out of his sleeve - like a sort of architectural playing card -- then this house was the ace of space. Philip Johnson's Glass House (http://philipjohnsonglasshouse.org/ ) at New Canaan, Connecticut of 1949 took German modernist Mies van Der Rohe's concept of the open, all-in-one, so-called "universalist" space to an extreme: only the bathroom is enclosed and the glass walls incorporate the surrounding landscape. The steel and glass house in Santa Monica, of 1949, by and for the husband-wife team of industrial designers Charles and Ray Eames (http://www.eamesfoundation.org/), showed how to use structural geometry as an orderly and poetic structural frame for housing diverse interior elements. The Eames house is really an elegant collecting box for cultural artifacts from around the world.

Stimulus package sets H-1B limits, leaves out E-Verify mandate
Of two IT-related amendments to the economic stimulus bill, only one makes the cut.
Computerworld - A provision requiring banks receiving federal bailout funds to give hiring priority to U.S. workers over foreigners with H-1B visas made it into the final version of the economic stimulus bill that President Barack Obama signed last week.
But House and Senate negotiators dropped a separate proposal that would have forced all employers benefiting from stimulus money to use the government's Web-based E-Verify system to vet the employment status of their workers.
The new H-1B restrictions require financial services firms that get money under the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) to comply with rules set for "H-1B-dependent" companies -- those where more than 15% of the workers are on visas.
The rules set a number of requirements for organizations looking to hire H-1B holders, including the need to attest that the employer actively recruited U.S. workers and wouldn't be displacing or replacing U.S. citizens.
Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) initially proposed an outright ban on H-1B hiring by TARP-recipient banks, but the scope of their amendment to the stimulus bill was later scaled down.
Even so, Charles Kuck, president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association in Washington, said it's unlikely that the affected financial services firms will try to hire H-1B holders for IT jobs and other positions because of the added cost and work now required.
That could leave the firms unable to tap the skills of "qualified foreign talent" to help them during a time of economic crisis, Kuck added. "Maybe we've got all the homegrown talent we need to pull us out of this mess, because now we have to hope we do," he said.
But some H-1B critics contend that the hiring restrictions may do little to stop IT functions from being shifted to foreign workers, since the stimulus bill doesn't place any limits on offshoring.
Ron Hira, an assistant professor of public policy at Rochester Institute of Technology, claimed that many TARP recipients have "huge shadow workforces" at outsourcing vendors. And outsourcing by Wall Street firms has risen since the federal bailout program began last fall, according to Hira.
Restricting H-1B hiring "will rectify some of the indefensible practices of quasi-nationalized banks," Hira said. "But unfortunately, it doesn't close the loopholes where most of the abuse occurs."
The E-Verify provision that was left out of the stimulus bill would have required companies benefiting from the $787 billion package to vet information in job applications by comparing it to data in work-eligibility databases maintained by the U.S. Social Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security. Also excised from the bill was a proposed extension of the overall E-Verify program beyond March 6, when it is scheduled to expire.
Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, criticized the decision to drop the E-Verify usage requirement. The DHS and the SSA "have the hardware and the software capacity to screen all new hires," he said. "It's happening right now."
But Tim Sparapani, senior legislative counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union, said the databases used as part of E-Verify are outdated and contain inaccurate information. "The reason why we don't have mandatory verification [rules]," Sparapani said, "is because the government hasn't done the hard work of going back and scrubbing those databases clean."
Mike Aitken, director of governmental affairs at the Society for Human Resource Management in Alexandria, Va., doesn't want the E-Verify program to disappear. But, he said, the government needs to make the system more reliable.

Building a Linux-Based High-Performance Compute Cluster
Select one machine to be the head node for the cluster. The rest of the machines will be the compute nodes in your new cluster. As it installs the compute nodes, Rocks numbers the machines as compute-x-y, where the x is the rack number, and y is the number of the machine within a rack. Say you spread the 32 nodes over four racks. If you want to follow the Rocks naming convention, you would set things up as follows: rack 0 contains the head node, so the numbering of the nodes would be compute-0-0 to compute-0-6. Rack 1 would come out as compute-1-0 to compute-1-7. Rack 2 would contain compute-2-0 to compute-2-7. Rack 3 would follow suit.
Alternatively, you simply could pretend that all the machines are in a single rack: compute-0-0 to compute-0-30. Either way works, so use whatever is comfortable for you.
First, you need to get a copy of the Rocks package that will be appropriate for your cluster's hardware. Navigate to the Rocks Web site, and select the Download tab at the top of the home page to access the various versions of the package. The 5.1 version is the latest at the time of this writing. Click the link to get a listing of the components of the package. For this exercise, I selected the x86-64 Jumbo DVD image, downloaded it and burned it onto an empty DVD. While you are at the site, download the documentation. If nothing else, it will give you something to read while the software loads.
Boot the head node from the newly minted Rocks DVD. If everything is working as it should, you will be greeted with the welcome screen shown in Figure 2.
Enter build at the boot: prompt to start the installation sequence. The system boots in the normal Linux fashion and eventually presents the user with the initial Rocks configuration screen shown in Figure 3.
A Note about Rolls
The Rocks package is composed of a series of rolls. Some of the rolls are central to the cluster system itself (the Base Roll, the OS Roll, the Kernel Roll and the Web Server Roll). Some contain cluster functionality (the SGE Roll, the Java Roll, the HPC Roll and the Ganglia Roll). And finally, some rolls contain application software (the Bio Roll). Each roll is documented, so you can decide for yourself whether you need it in your installation. The commercial version of the Rocks package, Rocks+ from Clustercorp, adds additional packages that include commercial compilers from Absoft, Intel and the Portland Group as well as the TotalView debugger.
Because you have all of the software components on the Jumbo DVD, you will do your installation from CD/DVD-Based Rolls. Select CD/DVD-Based Roll. This brings up a screen listing all the individual components you can select from the DVD (Figure 4).
For the purposes of this installation, I selected everything except the Bio Roll and the Virtualization Roll. You probably will select a different set of components. At absolute minimum, you need to select the Base, Web Server, Kernel and OS Rolls. Once you have made your selections, click Submit to continue the installation.
The installation now repeats the first screen, showing your selections (Figure 5). If you are satisfied with your selections, click Next to continue to the first of the administrative screens in the installation. If you want to make a change, click CD/DVD-Based Roll to go back to the component selection screen.
Today's modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a "one size fits all" enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The common thread in the Obama adminstration scandals
John Yoo identifies the common thread in the major Obama administration scandals: Add up all the recent scandals and the message is clear: the Obama administration is showing that it cannot be trusted with the basic functions of government: law enforcement (surveillance of reporters), taxation (IRS scandals), and national security (Benghazi). How, then, can we trust the administration when it comes to immigration — an area in which it already »
Will Team Amnesty prevail?
While attention is focused on various Obama administration scandals, the Schumer-Rubio immigration reform legislation keeps chugging along in the Senate. What are the prospects for enacting this law, or some similar version? I believe the Senate is likely to pass Schumer-Rubio. All or nearly all of the Senate Democrats will vote for it. That's 55 votes or close to it. The four Republican members of the Gang of Eight – »
Conservatives Unite Against Immigration Bill
A group of conservatives that includes Paul and me have signed a letter opposing the Gang of Eight's immigration bill. I didn't contribute to drafting the letter, but I was proud to sign it because it sets out the key arguments against the proposal in a powerful and easily understandable way. The group is called the Coalition Against S. 744, and the letter is titled "The Wrong Way to Reform »
The Hispanic vote in presidential elections
A reader provided me with several useful comments on my post regarding the Republican share of the Hispanic vote in presidential elections since 1980. First, he says that the figure I used for George W. Bush's share in 2004 — 43 percent — is an outlier: In 2004, NEP (National Exit Poll) reported 44% for Bush, the highest of all ten polls. That result was widely and immediately challenged. Pew »
And Now, Back to Immigration
Let's put aside the Obama administration's scandals for a moment, and return to an issue that will have a great deal more to do with America's future: immigration. The proposed Gang of Eight bill will result in somewhere between 30 million and 57 million new immigrants over the next ten years. This is, in a nutshell, why the bill is so bad. The impact of such a mass influx of »
Marco Rubio ducks genuine debate over his amnesty legislation
Last week, Bret Baier's Special Report program on Fox News featured interviews with Marco Rubio and Jeff Sessions about the Rubio-Schumer amnesty legislation. The interviews were given separately. Although Baier tried his best to make it into a point-counterpoint kind of affair, it couldn't really be a debate because Rubio and Sessions didn't appear together. I understand that Baier, naturally enough, would have preferred to have Sessions and Rubio on »
Hispanic voting patterns don't correlate to major immigration debates or legislation
Key elements of the Republican establishment insist that Republicans must support amnesty and a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants in order to make major inroads with Hispanic voters. But an analysis of the Hispanic vote in the last nine presidential elections does not support this claim. It shows, instead, that other considerations help explain how Hispanics vote. Here is the Republican share of the Hispanic vote in those elections: »
The politics of the IRS scandal: Another take [with comment by Paul]
A political reporter whom I greatly respect, and who asks not to have the comment attributed to him, writes to comment on one possible side effect of the IRS scandal: "Not to be paranoid, but the IRS scandal may make it easier for the immigration-bill advocates to push their amazing bill through Congress while the public's mind is elsewhere, if only because it gives the media another excuse not to »
Lessons from the IRS scandal
President Obama tried today to catch up with the IRS scandal, condemning the IRS officials who targeted conservatives. Obama clearly perceives the threat this scandal poses to trust in government, and hence to his project of vast expansion of governmental power. It's possible too that he feels genuine outrage about the IRS's targeting of conservatives. But neither presidential outrage nor condemnation can mitigate the central concern that this scandal reinforces »
Democrats Shoot Down Immigration Reforms In Senate
As I wrote here, I am not a fan of trying to "fix" the Senate Gang of Eight's immigration bill through amendments. I think it is fundamentally flawed in multiple ways and cannot be fixed, least of all by adding more provisions relating to border enforcement. But the Senate Judiciary Committee is marking up the immigration bill, and Republicans have offered a wide variety of amendments. To the extent this »
Heritage Foundation puts $6.3 trillion price tag on amnesty
The Heritage Foundation has released its long awaited study of the cost to American taxpayers of legalizing the current population of illegal immigrants. The study, available here, estimates the cost at $6.3 trillion, at a minimum. Andrew Stiles at NRO does a good job of summarizing the study's methodology and findings: The study seeks to calculate the total amount of taxpayer-funded benefits and services illegal immigrants would, if given legal »
The Rubio amnesty, it's not what he promised
Mark Krikorian shows how the Schumer-Rubio immigration reform bill falls short of what Sen. Rubio promised when he touted it in advance on conservative Talk Radio. Here are some of the particulars Krikorian presents: 1. Rubio emphasized that to gain legal status, immigrants would have to pay their back taxes. But the bill Rubio helped write requires only that applicants "satisfy any applicable federal tax liability" that has previously been »
Immigration Bill Would Empower Bureaucrats to Welcome Criminal Aliens
I have gone back and forth with Senator Rubio's office as to whether the Gang of Eight's bill is fatally flawed because of the vast discretion it gives federal bureaucrats, including the Department of Homeland Security, in implementing the act. On the subject of DHS discretion, Rubio's office said to us: I'd disagree with your description of the discretion given to the Administration as "vast discretion", but the waivers & »
Rubio goes fake mean
Mickey Kaus comments on the statement we received on Friday from Senator Rubio's office (posted here) in defense of the Gang of Eight immigration bill: Rubio: Illegals will pay fines or be deported! Ambassador of Amnesty Marco Rubio argues on Powerline–or rather, "Marco Rubio" argues, since the words are attributed only to his "office"**–that critics overstate the number of new immigrants who would be added by his legalization bill: There »
Rubio's Folly
National Review helped launch Marco Rubio to prominence in his seemingly quixotic quest for the GOP Senatorial nomination against Charlie Crist and National Review has now declared the Gang of Eight immigration bill of which Rubio is a chief sponsor to be Rubio's Folly (cover below). NR senior editor Jay Nordlinger appeared on Morning Joe briefly this morning to explain why, and Jay's critique of the bill on the show »
Can the Immigration Bill Be Fixed? Marco Rubio Responds
Last night, I posted Why the Immigration Bill Can't Be Fixed, offering five reasons in support of that conclusion. Today Senator Rubio's office requested an opportunity to respond to my five points; we were happy to oblige. If you haven't already read my post, you should probably start there. Here are the rejoinders from Senator Rubio's office: 1. The word "comprehensive" isn't in the title… I assume you didn't mean »

District 65 Board Approves Teacher Contract
Members of the Evanston/Skokie District 65 board of education approved a new agreement with the teachers' union that includes salary increases for all teachers and more planning time for elementary teachers.
The District 65 board of education approved a new contract with the teachers' union at a meeting Monday night, according to district spokesperson Pat Markham. Teachers and the board of education have been negotiating since March, and agreed to bring in a federal mediator earlier this summer. They reached a tentative agreement in late August, which the District 65 Educator's Council ratified on Friday. "The contract benefits our teachers, our students, parents, and the entire community," Supt. Hardy Murphy said in a press release from the district. "It is fair to all, and represents what we believe is in the best interests of the entire Evanston/Skokie School District 65." The new contract covers four years beginning with the 2012-13 …

Notre Dame 7 - Michigan 4
I'm not sure this game could have been much worse for Michigan, it was a night when every bounce found an Irish stick and every turnover found the back of Michigan's net. A game Michigan needed to have going into the CCHA tournament and the defense failed again, failing to clear pucks, turning the puck over, and not being able to match the intensity that the Irish brought.
The first period started rough with two Wolverine forwards breaking out before the puck cleared, a turnover in the defensive zone gave the Irish a gift wrapped goal. Just a few minutes later with Michigan pushing back a bad bounce off a Michigan defensemen gave the Irish an open net and a 2-0 lead. The period closed with a powerplay goal from Jon Merrill, to make it 2-1.
The second period opened with Boo Nieves scoring early to make it a 2-2 game, but Notre Dame got another bounce to go their way and another deflection off a Wolverine found it's way into an open net. Andrew Copp's shorthanded goal made it a 3-3 game but the momentum was short lived, as the relentless Irish used their speed and pounded Michigan.
The third was much of the same as another failed clear and turnover extended the Irish lead to 6-3, Notre Dame's skating was on full display and Michigan just couldn't keep up towards the end of the game. DeBlois had another shorthanded goal, but that was all we had left in the tank.
1) Copp and Sinelli
I love the effort these two bring to the ice every night, it seems like they're always around the action fighting for loose pucks and making something happen. The shorthanded goal brings Copp's line to 6-5-11 on the season, they both give Michigan something to look forward too next season.
2) Boo Nieves
Wow, if you haven't noticed Boo is a special player. A goal and an assist brings him to 23 points on the season and it looks like he will finish as the teams leading scorer. Big things are coming in the future from Boo Nieves.
3) Turnovers
This has been a trademark of Jeff Jackson teams since he took over, so Michigan knew what was coming. Any kind of turnover in the neutral zone or the D-Zone is going into your net, you just can't let an explosive team like the Irish have that many chances. Rutledge had no chance tonight, Michigan fell right into Notre Dame's game.

You can pass the California bar exam, no matter where you went to school and no matter what your class rank was! Welcome to the California edition of Pass The Bar.Com, the oldest bar exam website.
The most common mistake is to study too much and not practice enough!
This is the primary lesson I have to offer you, based on decades of experience with the bar examination. The best way to prepare for the bar exam, and indeed the best way to learn the law is through a program of guided study and practice.
Pass the July 2013 California Bar Examination – Get Started Today!
My Master Essay Method program recognizes that issue spotting and organization are the two most important skills needed to write passing answers to bar exam essay questions. This program emphasizes analysis over boilerplate and it teaches you how to "find a home for the facts" in your successful essay answers.
Separate seminars cover Torts, Contracts, Real Property, Remedies, Criminal Law & Procedure, Constitutional Law, Evidence, Civil Procedure, Corporations, Wills & Trusts, Community Property, Professional Responsibility and Crossover Questions.
More than 140 practice essays are included, all with complete model answers with over 30 hours of video.
My black-letter program is the Pearce Micro Review. The lectures do not get into the fine-point details, and the outlines are slightly-expanded versions of those used by the National Conference of Bar Examiners.
This program isn't designed to teach you all the law – it's designed to give you a framework upon which to build and sharpen your knowledge through practice. Separate seminars cover Torts, Contracts, Real Property, Remedies, Criminal Law & Procedure, Constitutional Law, and Evidence.
Black-Letter Law and more than 40 hypothetical essays are included, with over 20 hours of video.
My Master MBE Method covers all the subjects on the Multistate Bar Examination. It includes seminars on all the subjects tested on the MBE and it is based on released questions, with roughly 20 hours of video.

A judge just rejected L.A. County's motion to dismiss James Mee's lawsuit, on grounds he waited too long to file it.
Mee was ordered by his superiors to remove 4 pages of his original report, which detailed Mel's diatribe against Jews, including, "The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." The Sheriff tried covering up Mel's behavior, claiming the DUI arrest was executed "without incident."
The L.A. County Sheriff and other officials believe Mee leaked the document to TMZ.
After TMZ obtained the 4-pages and published them, Mee, who is Jewish, claims his superiors went after him with a vengeance, getting search warrants, passing him over for promotion and allegedly harassing him.
Mee claims in his lawsuit the Sheriff's Department is discriminating against him because he's Jewish. Now a jury will decide if he's right.

Age: 36-43 Skin: Dry, Fair Hair: Brunette, Wavy Eyes: Hazel
Another hit by SkinCeuticals. I have not tried a sunscreen with SPF50 that it totally invisible before, and this one is perfect. It was suggested by my local pharmacist. I am very pale (NC15) and I was looking for something light + high protection that does not leave any white residue/cast. This fits the bill.
You have to shake the bottle very well and apply the product on face and neck. It completely disappears and looks invisible. As it is silicone based it works also as a primer under the foundation.
Three problems: 1) the price is extortionate; 2) the scent is nasty (luckily it dissipates very quickly); 3) it contains only 50ml
Notwithstanding the three drawbacks mentioned above it is still the best sunscreen I have ever tried. I love SkinCeuticals products and this is one of my favourites. Such a shame it is not cheaper.

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Neutral Hair: Brown, Straight, Medium Eyes: Grey
This is definitely an HG of mine! As pricey as it is, I need it since I have very light skin that burns easily (due to a ginger gene :P)
I got this from my doctor's office as I've been seeing her every few weeks to work through my acne. I asked her about sunscreen and this is what she recommended I get, along with telling me to mix it with foundation when I put it on. I was like, okay....
Putting it on the next morning, I understood why as I noticed the white cast that I got (and that other reviewers talk about) even after mixing it with foundation. I'm now mixing it with a slightly too dark very pigmented liquid concealer which works AWESOME. And for my foundation through the winter, I needed a white something to mix it with as it's ridiculous to find a foundation pale enough for my skin. The white cast isn't even that big of a deal for me since my skin is so light.
It is a tad drying, but that's good for me because I have oily, acne prone skin. The matte-ness doesn't last all day, but that's not a big deal for me. Dry skin, however, should avoid this sunscreen though.
Overall, it's a great product for me. Will definitely be buying for years to come!

This unfortunately was one of the worst sunscreens I've tried. This is EXTREMELY drying & even under a good moisturizer, this sucked every bit of moisture out of my skin while leaving it tight & dull. I know some have had success but I highly encourage any dry or dehydrated girls to try a sample or keep the receipt.

This broke my face out so badly, I think the zinc oxide is the culprit for the clogged pores. This is very occlusive on the skin since it is all physical sunscreen, which causes clogged pores since the skin cannot properly breathe. A chemical sunscreen is much better for acne clog prone skin, I highly recommend the L'Oreal SPF 50+ fluid- its awesome and so much cheaper! This feels a little heavy and leaves a white cast as well. DO NOT recommend for acne prone people! Its also super expensive : (

This left white bits under my foundation. I found I could still feel it on my skin despite it's sheer quality and it's not as sheer or light as La Roche Posay ultra light sunscreen. It also made my rosacea flare, also disappointing because it is a physical sunscreen. I had high hopes.
According to Dermstore this version has been discontinued and now they are going with the tinted version which would probably work better in terms of white cast.
Overall I was disappointed in this especially in view of the hype it's been getting.

It caused breakouts, which is unfortunate because otherwise it caused very little irritation... Which is very rare indeed for me. I had some luck with mixing it with my foundation on special occasions, but ultimately not worth the price.

I agree with all that say that this leaves a white film on the face, yes it does. But for me it isn't a big problem, my face is darker then rest of my body, so it just makes it look more even.
for the mattifying part it is only so-so... better than many but not the best.
But still I love this sunscreen, just because it works great with my oily-acne face. No breakouts or irritation. Also i love the high Spf, I need that. I put on my sunscreen very early mornings and I want a sunscreen that will work all day, because I'm not going to apply more sunscreen on my face during the day.
Also loving that this is a physical sunscreen, Paula Begoun have sad that the are abit better of protectin the face from agespots...
I use this together with Paula's choice shinestopper and that does give a matte and shinefree face for 4h, after that I just use some paper to blot my face...

I tried this after reading a lot of rave reviews on the skin care board. It definitely has a white cast--I'm extremely pale and I can use it to even out some of the sun damage spots on my face. I HATE the smell. It's runny. It offers so-so sun protection, but for the price I can buy almost 3x as much Biore Aqua Rich Watery Mousse (shipping incl), which has it's drawbacks but is easier to handle and reapply. I'll use up the bottle but will not repurchase.

I got a bottle of this to compare with the Physical Fusion which I ♥. This is exactly the same but without the tint. Very lightweight, liquid texture. It's non-whitening even though I slathered it on before going swimming this morning. Dried to a non-shiny finish, not quite matte either. We swam for 2 hours straight and no pink. I do prefer the Physical Fusion since it's tinted and helps even out my skintone, making me look like I'm wearing a little bit of makeup. So if the tint of the Physical Fusion isn't right for you, I'm NC15/N3 and it's perfect, the Sheer Physical might be worth a shot.

This is for the tinted version. I use a moisturizer under it.
It does have great sunscreen ingredients but have to be careful to apply lightly or will look orange on me.
I use a translucent powder to even out the color.

I love this sunblock. I tried it at my Spa and was told this is one of the best sunblocks out there (well, of course they would say that). However, I ended up loving it - I did not even purchase it yet, I like it based on my visits at the spa, when my esthetician applies this sunblock before I go out.
I was reading some comments below that people rate this product bad, based on the fact that Loreal tests on animals, and I think it's really wrong to do that. This is a product review, not a brand review. And - its very good that they test on animals! If they wont test in animals, they will test on human (did you know that?) and I would like to see how these "bad review people" go to be tested on (instead animals).

Been using more than two weeks, very happy with this purchase. I'm a sunscreen newbie, have tried some in the past but never wanted to invest $ or time into finding one that wouldn't clog me. This is a wonderful tint for my skin-tone, does provide some coverage for me. I put about a nickel sized squirt in my palm and it covers my whole face generously. I love the packaging especially the "ball" that shakes around to blend the product before use. No additional breakouts or clogging from this. I do however see how in the dryer winter months this might not work for me as well. I'm not experiencing any white cast from this but I am fair skinned. Would like to try one other tinted sunscreen after this, after comparing the two i will determine if I will repurchase.

Update: I'm allergic to something in this. If I get it anywhere near my eyes, they swell and get irritated. I'm still using it (applying carefully) but boo!
I like this stuff reasonably well. I haven't had any problems with it leaving a white cast on my face (certainly nothing in comparison with, for instance, the Chanel primer I tried last week, which isn't even a sunscreen) and it stays on well, in comparison to my previous regular player, the Cliniderm Gentle. I think I'd probably actually give this more of a 3.5 -- it's close, but I'm not in love with it.
The good:
Thin formulation spreads easily, I don't have to use much to cover my entire face (which is good, considering the high price for my tiny bottle)
Dries well, doesn't peel or rub off on clothes as far as I can tell
No skin reactions, allergies or breakouts
The not-so-great:
It has a weird smell -- very faint, and it fades shortly after application -- but plasticky with maybe a hint of floral? Barbie's makeup bag? I don't know.
Dries shiny. Not that this is anything weird; the only sunscreen so far that I've tried that didn't was the Lise Watier, and that one made me break out.
The bottle sucks rocks. It's skinny-based and unstable and if it tips over it goes on a wild spinny flight through the bathroom. The tiny little spout opening means you don't lose much product in the adventure, but it's still annoying.
Expensive (almost fifty dollars with tax when I bought it) and hard to find (only sold by one place anywhere close to me).

Hubby and I wore this before a walk ... we looked like extras in the Twilight cast.
Blended, rubbed - I even put makeup powder on top. This stuff has a heavy white cast. Kinda heavy/greasy going on but then sets and is white and doesn't move. Matte, slightly powdery finish.
At the end of the day, my skin had some dry flaky spots -- moisture sucked dry -- so I'm thinking this would be great for oily skinned folks.
Apparently, it's a good idea to use a moisturizer, and/or primer with this ... sheesh -- way too much stuff on my skin. In the summer, I like to limit my routine to serum, bit of concealer, spf and a touch of bronzer.
Teeny bottle. Add to that - Skinceuticals tests on animals :-(
Too many negatives for me. For an Spf 50 - I'll stick to Sheseido.

Oh boy! I am totally cheesed off. I bought this from my derm doctor and have fallen in love with it. Great for my oily skin. No breakouts and very little skin aggravation and clogging. THEN I read the previous postings and found out that Skinceuticals is owned by L'Oreal - the dreaded company that does very cruel animal testing. Sadly, won't be repurchasing and would not suggest anyone else get it due to the animal testing L'Oreal does. So my rating is 1 (it doesn't allow a zero). L'Oreal and Skinceuticals, you should know better!
However, if you don't care about animal testing, the product is 4 lippies, but I will not go into details due to feeling so strongly about Skinceuticals being a part of L'Oreal.

This is hands down the best sunscreen product I've ever used. I found it while shopping during a very bright hot day last summer and decided to get it and apply it on my skin before hitting the street again. It is much more liquid than most sunscreens in the market, so it goes on smoothly, evenly and dries a little powdery, so you don't get that sticky feel typical of many good sunscreens. It never makes my skin feel greasy, even in the summer, and I can layer it on without feeling it's caked on my face. Two drawbacks: it's very costly at $30 for less than 2 oz. (ouch!), and it's hard to find in stores where I live (mostly dermatologists carry it), so I have to order online and that might mean waiting a few days between bottles.

I tried using this sunscreen for almost a year and will not repurchase for two reasons:
Leaves a white cast/sickly effect on my NW15-20 skin;
Flakes horribly on random dry spots on my combination skin (even highlights dryness I couldn't see prior to application)
The positive aspects of this sunscreen include being very sheer and lightweight and also providing very good sun protection. The product wasn't worth the extra effort I had to make in order for it to work: adding color to counteract the sickly effect and using extra moisturizer to balance the dry spots (which made my skin feel too heavy and then negated the desire for a lighter-weight sunscreen).

I was disappointed in this. This provides decent suncreen protection and dries down to a soft, matte finish, but the tint is worse than Elta MD 41 tint, more ashy in color. I'm over these one tint fits all. I'll probally send this back and try Stila's new Illuminating SPF20 tinted moisturizer.

This is the best and most cosmetically elegant sunscreen I have ever used. After washing my face with Cerave hydrating cleanser I apply my Nia 24 skin strengthening complex. After about 5 minutes I shake the skinceuticals and put small drops on the top of my hand and then apply to my face a small area at a time. It is so great that I even use it as a primer if I am not going to be out in the sun. Over this I use Bobbie Brown tinted moisturizer in extra light. My dry as desert skin is soft, smooth and well hydrated and looks great.

That would be repetitive. (But then again May getting a Bulbasaur, Squirtle, AND Munchlax are also repetitive since they're all Ash's Pokemon...but what the hell)
And yeah, if Chimecho is still in the opening with next weeks episode, at least we can hope to see it again sometime.
Despite Chimecho departing for who knows how long, and no real mention of past characters associated with James, this was a really good episode. Probably the best that the Battle Frontier saga has offered thus far infact. There were some really memorable scenes, and the music pieces chosen for them were perfect. Not to mention the animation was on top form. Character expressions, movement and attacks all looked splendid.
And of course, there was that huge chunk of character development for James, which deserves two thumbs up~
The emotional scenes between Chimecho and James, especially when they finally part ways, really did pull at my heartstrings. It was all very touching, and was a big breath of fresh air from the usual endings we get lately.
And my god, Manene is freaking adorable. I absolutely love its voice and imitations, especially when it copies James throwing Cacnea's pokéball and ordering attacks. Watch it shoot to the top of my favourite pokémon list. Best prevo ever, 'nuff said.
Jessie and Meowth's whole attitude really stunk I might add. I really wanted to strangle the both of them at times. Speaking of which, Cacnea pwning Seviper = awesome. Heh, they really did deserve that thrashing this time around :P
One thing I'd like to know is, how the hell did Ash know Phanpy has Hidden Power in its arsenal? He didn't have it use the move in a previous episode did he? Truth be told, I haven't really bothered to look into the one or two eps I managed to miss ^^;
Good to see James finally stick up for himself against Jessie. Probably the only time Cacnea will ever be victorious in battle. Chimecho looks absolutely adorable in the final few minutes of the episode. Unfortunately, this looks to be another flashback sequence which 4Kids will tinker with for absolutely no reason at all.
Thank you for all the fantastic times, Serebii Forums!
What attack used Cacnea to Seviper with phampy?
*squeals* A sweet Team Rocket ending! Wow, we haven't had one of those in SO long. I'll really miss Chimecho so badly, but at least it's where James knows it's safe, and we'll still see it here in the U.S. for another year.
Also, wow, Cacnea attacked Seviper?! I mean, I know it did that in "The Bicker the Better" too, but this was different.
This episode looks AWESOME, even though I know it'll mean Chimecho's departure. Hey, the two groups getting along for a while, great TR material, and a sweet ending looks like it'll make 5 stars in my book.

I hate chaining. -_-
A few of the main points of the episode, c/p-ed from my post at BMG. A lot of them don't seem to have been covered in this thread yet:
-The mansion was one of Kojiro's family's "cottages". He used to love going there because it was the one place he could really get away from the "proper" upbringing his family was trying to inflict on him.
-The old man and woman are old servants who are quite good at taking care of sick and injured pokemon.
-Not wanting to disappoint the people who cared for him so much when he was a child, Kojiro tries to hide the fact that he's in Team Rocket, claiming instead that he's running a company, and that Musashi and Nyasu are his assistant and manager. At the end, he does admit the truth, and they are not disappointed in him.
-The episode deals something of a severe blow to Rocketshipping, or at least that subship which claims they'll ever get married. Kojiro is utterly appalled at the servants' initial assumption that Musashi is his wife. (His panicked denial includes something that translates more or less as "ANYTHING but that!")
-Kojiro gets the Twerps to agree to a truce: He, Musashi, and Nyasu won't do anything bad here, and the Twerps won't reveal that he's in Team Rocket. Musashi and Nyasu, however, keep doing or trying to do things, and this culminates in the battle where Kojiro rather handily defeats Musashi before asking Satoshi to deal the finishing blow.
-There are several good scenes showing how Kojiro interacts with people when he isn't being part of TR.
-Chiriin is left, after a well-done (if fairly standard) farewell scene, because TR can't afford to wait around any longer, but Chiriin isn't yet healed to the point that it can travel safely.
-As Kojiro is getting Chiriin's ball out to leave it with the servants, an empty ball falls out of his pocket, and Manene promptly jumps in.
I found very funny when James imagined how will be his life if he marries Jessie.
Also another good joke is that James called Ash by his nickname (Jari-Boy in japanese) and Ash actually responded to it.
The animation is good, especially when TR depart from the castle, but I found a mistake, or maybe a last minute change: When Ash & Co are departing in the wide shot James is clearly there, but not in the close-up shot. Look at the pictures.
The only problem lies in the plot: Ash & Co does almost nothing in this episode and their appearances are all a bit forced, it would have been better without them.
I think the third figure in the wide shot is Manene, not James, and is not visible in the close-up because of camera angle.Originally Posted by greatfire
Episodes like this make you wonder why James remains with Jessie and Meowth. He's a brilliant Poke Ringer and would probably be an okay trainer or coordinator. He could make an honest living and actually get of his family's and Team Rocket's shadow. Jeesie and Meowth are what is dragging him down and making him a loser. I'd love to see him actually defect from Team Rocket and become a recurring character in the league or contests. Perhaps becoming a revival of Ash's or May's. How could such a kind soul be trapped in TR?
Some people don't think it's funny that Exit 69 gets off on Big Beaver.
Exactly. This episode provides interesting character development for James, emphasizing his soft, caring side, and his love of those close to his family. Well, those servants practically are family to him, but you get the idea.
So Manene's shtick is that it imitates everything James does. Very cute.
I loved the part where James sent out Cacnea and it faced Ash & co, and James told it to attack Seviper instead, and Cacnea had this surprised reaction as if to say, "What?? Are you sure?"

"Psychos... they always love comics." - Det. Elliot Stabler.
Chiriin. ;_;
...Damn, this was a great episode. It had more character development for Kojirou since all the way back to "Gardie and Kojirou", and it was definitely the most emotional. This is why I love Kojirou. He's really a nice guy, with a soft and caring personality. Though whenever he tries to do something right, Musashi and Nyasu always do their best to mess it up for him. The way they behaved in light of the situation was disgusting, but they got what was coming to them. Seeing Sabonea own Habunake was awesome, and it was even better when Kojirou teamed up with Satoshi to knock them down a few pegs. I love the occasional episode when Satoshi-tachi and the Rocket-dan get along (or at least Kojirou in this case). It's great to see him acting as a normal person where his softer side can shine through.
It was great to learn more of Kojirou's childhood too. It's a shame there was no reference to any previously introduced characters from his past (no Gaa-chan ;; ), but that's of little importance really. The two old servants were great characters. It isn't hard to see why Kojirou relished the time he spent there, where he could actually be free to do his own thing and just act like a normal kid. They were much more caring and understanding than his actual parents were.
The scene where Kojirou had to part with Chiriin was so emotional. I cried. And I never cry over movies/TV shows. Even though Chiriin never did anything, it was so special to Kojirou, and therefore had a special place with me. Watching him forced to leave it was a heartbreaker.
And the ending was great. I love how Kojirou and Chiriin catch one last look at each other through the window as Kojirou-tachi float away in their hot air balloon.
Great stuff. How this rose up out of the pile of steaming sludge that is the Battle Frontier I'll never know...
There is no escape.
I'm with Gravy, as far as pre-evolutions go, Manene, well, any Humanshape actually, seems like one of the best.
Even though those kind of evolutions did wonders as well. Juptor, Oosubame, Wakashamo, Onigohri, and that's just in AG.Originally Posted by JazzJazz
Actually, the old women did mention something about the "sir and madam", which left Kojirou freaking out, asking if his mother and father were at the mansion right now. I guess Murg could give you the full translation. BTW Murg, what was Kojirou calling the old couple throughout the episode? "Jiiya" and "Baaya" or something? Are those some kind of terms for, respectively, an old man and old woman caretaker?Originally Posted by Gravy
As Murg mentioned, it did not in anyway pull a Koduck. When the ball fell out of his pocket, Manene intentionally ran up to it, jumped into the air, and struck its hand on the trigger button before going into the ball. The ball didn't accidentally hit it, Manene didn't glare at the ball for a second wondering what the hell it was before tapping it, Manene was fully aware of what it was and wanted to go along with Kojirou. And might I add, that was probably the most well-done voluntary capture the series has had yet. Sure, it's great when the Pokemon willingly challenges the trainer to a capture battle, and of course anything's better than the typical scenario of a Pokemon just walking up to the trainer at the end of the episode after the trainer helped them out, but the way that Manene wanted to come along so much that it doesn't even ask before going into a ball itself just seemed so nicely dramatic.Originally Posted by The Big Al
Anyway, I've got a few points about this episode myself....
-I'm surprised that no one but Churly brought this up yet, but in Kojirou's flashback, we saw him chase around an Utsudon. It's not the same one that Kojirou got, of course, but it seems as though the writers intentionally made that scene, probably to explain why he has an obsession for that particular Pokemon and its evolution. Though the capture was extremely vague, this does shed some light on the explanation of why he supposedly went out of his way to get one in the first place (in the flashback of when he got it using Matadogas, it seems as though Musashi and Nyaasu aren't there with him, meaning he wandered off looking for one himself).
-Smile played in the background of the scene with the Chiriin montage and Kojirou leaving his Pokemon in the elders' care.
-Is this the first time they've shown that Kojirou's been keeping his Monster Balls in his pocket?
And is it just me, or has Advanced Generation been doing a good job of making Rocket Dan's releases (well, this isn't exactly a release, but still) seem more dramatic, like they actually are a big deal and that Musashi and Kojirou truley care for their Pokemon. It sure is a big step from Pocket Monsters, in which Musashi losing her Beroringa in a Sounansu trade seemed completely random and nothing to make much of. Kojirou losing his Utsubotto was also rather random, and rather than being dramatic about him losing his Pokemon, that episode had him comically going on and on about exaggerated memories he had with his pitcher plant. Both occurences also seemed like little more than a side-plot from the actual episode, which of course dealt with Satoshi-tachi. In AG, though, these episodes managed to make Rocket Dan the stars while Satoshi-tachi were the ones shoved into the background.
In any case, the Battle Frontier's been pretty crappy lately, but it's nice to see they did something right. It's a shame to see Chiriin go, although there is some hope of it returning eventually. Sure, it never did much, but it was pretty much in the same boat as Musashi's Sounansu, which more often than not is only there for randomnly popping out of its ball and offering comic relief (and I don't need to remind you all that such a role has left Sounansu, who probably would've been very overlooked in the games otherwise, as one of the most popular Pokemon out there, to the point that he gets his own pre-evolution). But anyway, I'd say this was the best Battle Frontier episode yet..... either that, or the Iwaaku kingdom, simply because we got to see Juptor kick some a** in that (and it was about the only time he did so in Battle Frontier, at least until next week's episode judging from the preview).... but then.... hmmm.... good action's actually somewhat commonplace in this series, but good drama and character development is once in a blue moon. Yeah, I guess I'll go with this ep as my favorite BF one yet.

Woah, wait. An episode..with CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT?! Haven't had one of those in ages. o_O Definately gotta see it.
I think everyone complaining about Manene isn't complaining about the fact that Chiriin was swapped, but because of the fact that they made it do barely anything and then swapped it. Makes one wonder if there was even any point in having Kojirou capture it if it wasn't going to do anything at all.
And I shall also say HA! I was right about it not being Doku-chan not being dumped off. >_>
Chimecho is gone????? Well, i haven't seen any episode with chimecho yet, so i don't know i'll miss it or not. Still, it seems that it's a good episode. The cacnea and james and phanpy vs TR was great. was that HP from phanpy?
