Healthsherpa Helps Thousands Get Insurance Quotes
The computer coders who made healthcare.gov may not have had the best of e-commerce in mind. The site looks like something melded together by a dozen government bureaucracies, and is so bad, it's driven away online shoppers. But a group of coders in Silicon Valley says it doesn't have to be this way. They've created healthsherpa.com.

Plenty of people have asked why it wasn't easier to come up with a better website than healthcare.gov. Not that building a website is so simple, but companies like Amazon or eBay have been able to make them straightforward and easy to use.
So three young programmers in San Francisco decided to take up the challenge. The result is a new website: HealthSherpa.com. It helps overcome at last some of the upfront problems people are experiencing with the government site.
INSKEEP: Thousands are using it to compare polices and get quotes. KQED's Aarti Shahani reports.
AARTI SHAHANI, BYLINE: Walk into the office where HealthSherpa.com was created, and it looks like any other startup. Founder Ning Liang points to the cappuccino machine, the bike rack, a futon for naps.
NING LIANG: And then, finally, here's our desks - four of them.
SHAHANI: You built the alternative to Healthcare.gov from a space with four desks?
LIANG: Correct. And actually, it was just three of us, over the course of about maybe three days.
SHAHANI: To be fair, HealthSherpa.com helps online shoppers get price quotes and contact insurance companies. It's not integrated with the Social Security Administration or the IRS. It's not a full-on replacement for the government's site.
LIANG: They're saying like, you know, this is the Affordable Care Act portal, right? And we're saying, shop here. That's it.
SHAHANI: Liang, who's 27 years old, goes to his Mac and pulls up the two websites for a side-by-side comparison. The government's Healthcare.gov...
LIANG: They've got, you know, three buttons; and then they've got a bunch of icons that look like buttons but actually aren't buttons.
SHAHANI: If you manage to click the right link, you get about a half-hour worth of questions and legal jargon before ever getting an estimate. At HealthSherpa.com, there's just a box for your ZIP code. Hit enter, and get basic prices for local insurance plans.
LIANG: We want you to get that payoff as soon as possible - so like, maybe, you know, five seconds.
SHAHANI: Liang says about 85 percent of users complete the process from start to finish. Like a Sherpa that guides hikers in the Himalayas, his website guides online shoppers through the Affordable Care Act without making it feel so arduous. He's not the only one with lessons in e-commerce 101. Call around Silicon Valley, and every other CEO has an opinion about what went wrong. Take Tom Lounibos, with SOASTA.
TOM LOUNIBOS: They might have tested the ability to search for a plan. They might have tested for a part of the login.
SHAHANI: Or Rob Bernshteyn, with Coupa Software.
ROB BERNSHTEYN: Scope creep tends to develop in these types of deployments. People take shortcuts. You get sloppy, redundant code.
SHAHANI: Google, Oracle and Red Hat have offered to troubleshoot healthcare.gov, and the Obama administration says it's time to move on. But a former federal government worker says we should fixate a bit more.
SUMIT AGARWAL: I do think it's a very important case study. If we had a government that couldn't build a bridge or lay a mile of road, we would say that was a dysfunctional government.
SHAHANI: Sumit Agarwal is a startup founder in Silicon Valley, and he used to manage Internet contracts for the Department of Defense.
AGARWAL: In 2013, a website is absolutely a simple, fundamental, core piece of infrastructure that a functioning government has to be able to build.
SHAHANI: Agarwal says the Department of Health and Human Services got stuck in the traditional bidding process. But the National Security Agency can build some of the best websites because it can call the companies it wants. As part of the Department of Defense, it gets more leeway.
AGARWAL: In the name of national security, a DOD-oriented component can say, look. I have a totally legitimate strategic need to be able to reach out to this entity, this private sector company. I'm not willing to go through the contracting process. And that's what allows DOD, in many cases, to go work with someone other than a large-scale, government contractor.
SHAHANI: Agarwal says give the health care people freedom to choose - like the military people have - and the next healthcare.gov will be a better online shopping experience. For NPR News, I'm Aarti Shahani, in San Francisco.

Google's Face(book) Gets a Makeover: "Profiles" Review
Almost two years ago, Google launched a rather mundane attempt to compete with social media juggernaut Facebook. If you weren't reading about how detrimental social media is to your brain and your sense of morality (which you probably, and ironically found on your Twitter or Facebook news feeds), you may have caught this somewhat underwhelming SEO boost to your social network two Aprils ago.
This past Thursday, Google announced it had enhanced its Profiles section. I think we all remember what happened the last time Google created a social service that duplicated an existing one, but 8.5 million reminders of their mistake will hopefully avert anything similar this time.
Google users that decide to participate will notice that their profiles will update automatically as new features become available. For the time being, the page looks almost identical to a watered-down Facebook Profile page- but is that necessarily a bad thing?

Bigfoot Networks introduce Killer gaming WiFi adapter
The company behind the Killer line of gaming network gear has introduced their new Killer Wireless-N laptop network adapter. Bigfoot are making claims that the Wireless-N adapter offers transfer speeds of up to five times faster than competing WiFi adapters.
Bigfoot says this will give laptop gamers an advantage over opponents who don't have a comparable networking kit as it cuts down on latency and lag. Bigfoot Networks' CEO Michael Howse also said that other wireless connections that are usually unsuitable for other online activities that are sensitive to wireless packet loss such as VoiP and HD video streaming would benefit from these new Bigfoot products.

QNAP's latest Turbo NAS line features iOS streaming via WiFi and 3G
If you're the kind of person who wants to pump digital wares around your house (and now outside of your house via 3G) then the latest QNAP Turbo NAS range will suite you well.
QNAP's latest addition (known as the TS-x12 line) will include a Marvel 1.2GHz CPU, 256MB of RAM, Gigabit Ethernet ports as well as the RAID and iSCSI support that the current QNAP Turbo NAS series include.

"Super Wi-Fi" spectrum access granted to Google and eight other companies
The so called "Super Wi-Fi" has gotten a few mentions here and there; coming up with a new standard is a slow and harrowing process. Another step was taken today with the FCC opening up the "white space" wireless spectrum and giving nine companies, including Google, permission to begin managing and administrating this spectrum which was used to provide a buffer between TV channels when analog was king.
With the complete move to digital TV, this buffer is no longer necessary and this white space can be put to use in other ways. Testing still needs to be done to make sure that the new wireless tech doesn't interfere with what's currently in place. The white space spectrum has the possibility of longer wavelengths, better penetration, and further reach than current Wi-Fi standards.
Google, Comsearch, Frequency Finder, KB Enterprises, LS Telecom, Key Bridge, Neustar, Spectrum Bridge, Telcordia Technology and WSdb are the nine companies that were given permission to work within the spectrum, including managing databases and building and managing devices. Many companies believe the possibility of a nationwide Wi-Fi network using this spectrum is possible if all goes well.
Trendnet launches 3-port powerline networking adapter
I have said before that in my home I can't get a decent WiFi signal to the living room. I can use powerline networking though but the catch is that I also need a hub or switch in the entertainment center because I have several things that need connectivity. Trendnet has a new adapter that will let me connect several items without needing a hub back there.
The Trendnet TPL-305E is a 200 Mbps powerline network adapter than has three ports built in. That means that the one adapter can hook up your cable box, Blu-ray player, and your game console without needing other hardware. The adapter can be put on a network with up to 16 more adapters just like it.
The adapters have a one-touch connect button and support network security with AES encryption. The adapters will hit stores in February for $79.99 each. "TRENDnet's energy efficient TPL-305E adds to our growing portfolio of Powerline products," stated Sonny Su, Director of Technology for TRENDnet. "With the proliferation of networked devices in the home, users will benefit from the three networked ports on this powerful Powerline solution."
TRENDNet shows off new 450Mbps wireless devices
CES 2011, Las Vegas - January 6 2011, TRENDNet shows off new high speed networking products to us in the lobby of the Mirage Casino and Hotel. We met up with Zak Wood and was able to take a look at a few of the new networking products we will get to show you later this year.

Trendnet debuts new 450Mbps wireless gaming adapter at CES 2011
CES 2011, Las Vegas - Trendnet has been at CES as long as I can recall and this year the company is pulling some really cool gear out of its hat for wireless fans. Trendnet has a new wireless gaming adapter that console users will like. The new adapter is called the 450Mbps Wireless N Gaming Adapter model TEW-687GA.
The adapter promises blazing fast 802.11n wireless speeds and Trendnet says that it will break the 150Mbps perforce barrier and in testing the adapter has reached 200Mbps bursts transmissions. The adapter has MIMO technology integrated with three spatial streams per antenna for more bandwidth and better connectivity.
The adapter has a Gigabit wired Ethernet port and supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup for easy construction for secure networks and more. The adapter works best when paired with the Trendnet TEW-691GR router, but it should work with any brand router. The adapter will ship this month for $149.99.
"TRENDnet was ecstatic to be able to deliver the first ever 450Mbps wireless n router to market in early June of last year, followed by the first ever 450Mbps access point last month," stated Pei Huang, President and CEO of TRENDnet. "The fact that we are also on pace to launch the very first 450Mbps wireless n adapter is yet another signal of TRENDnet's ability to innovate in the wireless networking space."
Clearwire launches Clear Modem with integrated WiFi router
When it comes to setting up a wireless network that will work with your broadband connection at home some people are clueless. My mom once tried to set up her own wireless network and ended up cramming a phone line into the Ethernet port on the router. It wasn't pretty. For folks that want more simplicity on their devices or just need less clutter and want 4G Clearwire has a new modem for you.
The new modem is called the Clear Modem and it supports the WiMax 4G service Clearwire offers in some markets. The modem also has a built in WiFi router that will support multiple devices using 802.11n and supports older protocols as well. The router is about the size of a clock according to Clear and will shoot fast speeds throughout the home.

Vox Communications shows off cool VoIP video phone
I haven't had a home phone in years. I don't even want a VoIP line; I stick with my mobile phone all the way. If you do like to have a phone in the house other than your mobile for one reason or another and you want cool features like video calling, Vox Communications has a new VoIP handset for you. The phone is called the Ojo Phone.
It has a big 7-inch LCD screen on it that lets you see who you are talking to and the user can pick custom wallpaper on the device to spice up the looks of it. The phone is plug and play with the only thing the user needs to do to set it up being plug it into an Ethernet cable and hook up the power. The phone will complete the reminder of the setup itself.

Trendnet debuts new 500Mbps powerline networking gear
With Christmas just around the corner odds are you might be giving someone a gadget that needs web connectivity or you may be expecting to get a device that needs web connectivity. Things like Blu-ray players, game consoles, TVs and all sorts of other stuff need a web connection to work a lot of times. The catch for many of us is that not all of the gadgets have WiFi built-in and sometimes WiFi just doesn't cut it when it comes to getting a reliable connection.
Trendnet has unveiled a new powerline networking system that is aimed at folks streaming lots of HD models and other large files across a network. The networking kit promises powerline networking at up to 500Mbps. Each of the adapters has a Gigabit Ethernet port built-in and has 128-bit AES encryption. The system has one button set up and an LED indicator on each adapter for network status.

Verizon introduces 150Mb FiOS inernet tier
Verizon has ratched up the speed of their FiOS internet service. Today the company has introduced a 150Mb/sec speed plan for their customers at a premium price of $200 a month.
Of course this is the download speed; the upload on this plan is 35MB/sec which is nothing new for FiOS customers as this speed is offered on a lower tier. The 150 download speed is now the fastest currently available from any major Internet provider in the U.S.; 50 times faster than average DSL service. The service is expected to be offered to businesses as well by the end of the year at a higher rate.

3G and WiFi now at the summit of Mount Everest
It's almost getting to the point that you can't go anywhere in the world without being connected. Ncell, a joint venture between the Swedish telecom company TeliaSonera and some private investors, has installed a 3G and WiFi capable GSM network base station at the base of Mount Everest.
Long famous as the highest point in the world, the summit of Mount Everest no longer requires a satellite phone to make a call. Ncell tested the station by making the world's highest video call at 17,388 feet and has confirmed the network is working at the summit. Ncell also plans to have 90% of Nepal's population covered by the end of next year. Now all your Twitter followers and Facebook friends will be able to know you've completed your climb of Mount Everest the second you reach the top. Hooray?
Deal of the Day: Belkin N150 Enhanced Wireless Router for $33.24 with FREE Shipping
Wifi Direct certifications starts, device-to-device transmission also starting soon
Bluetooth has some competition - Wi-Fi Direct is touted to everything Bluetooth does, but with far less issues and annoyances all while using a protocol that is far more widespread and easier to setup.
Starting today - Wi-Fi Direct devices will enter the certification process - the actual products to use this tech are unknown at this point, but there should be some hardware on the shelves before Santa arrives in 2 more months.
Functionality wise, the claims stand out instantly - for someone to make a device-to-device connection over Wi-Fi just ONE of the devices needs to be Wi-Fi Direct certified. This will help create a user base out of the box, which is a great step towards instant sales.
Atheros Hybrid Wired/Wireless system gives you network access anywhere in the home
Sometimes living in a big house makes getting wireless signal to all corners of the placea real pain, or you've got a room where you want a computer but no way to run the internet without drilling holes or buying a wireless card. Networking is getting quite a bit simpler thanks to Atheros' Hybrid Networking System.
The router gives you standard fare: 802.11 Wifi, Ethernet, all the usual goodies. The Homeplug AV powerline networking is where it gets interesting. Simply by plugging in the AC adapter, you've instantly got extended wireless signal and even an Ethernet port for network access on a non-wireless capable machine. No word on cost yet for this fun little device, but it is expected to ship by the end of the year.
Google Broadband set for trial at Stanford University
Google is taking another step in completely owning your internet experience with their first trial of an ultra high speed fiber network. Set for testing in "a group of approximately 850 faculty and staff-owned homes" on the campus of Stanford University, this is most likely the dry run for their implementation in the winning community of their "Google Fiber" contest that asked towns to submit themselves for Google Broadband implementation.
Google has stated that they are not looking to get into the ISP business; instead they are trying to make the internet faster for everyone with this project as well as their own DNS and a replacement for the HTTP protocol. Google Broadband is supposed to be able to offer speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second, which would max out most modern Ethernet ports. Anything that can make the Net faster for everyone is okay by me, but you still have to wonder what the bigger plan is here if Google's not planning to hit the ISP scene.
Broadband power line standard for 500 Mbps connectivity approved by IEEE
Getting broadband connectivity throughout a house can often be done with a simple WiFi router and some adapters for computers and other gear. In many instances, that WiFi router doesn't cut it though, especially in larger homes or offices or in environments where there is a lot of wireless interference. In this instanced power line, networking may be one of the only options.
Power line networking speeds today tend to top out at about 200mbps on the high end. That is enough speed for some uses, but for things that need a lot of bandwidth, more speed is needed. The IEEE has now approved a new power line networking standard called IEEE 1901 that allows for speeds of up to 500Mbps using the plain copper power lines already in place.
AudioCodes MediaPack 252 gateway offers connectivity for just about everything
I love it when one device can take the place of several others. I would love to be able to get the DSL modem off my desk and integrate it right into my wireless router. A new device from AudioCodes called the MediaPack 252 has debuted that integrates the ADSL modem with a WiFi router and several other things.
The MP252 supports HD VoIP and has an integrated handset for placing VoIP calls and has provisions to be used as a PBX device. If your web connection is critical to your business or home life, the 252 has a USB port for failover to a 3G mobile broadband modem for an uninterrupted connection. The device can also be used as a home media sharing hub to share storage, printers, and security cameras across the network.

On Saturn's moons, some unexpected hints of water
Cassini flyby reveals water vapor in plume from Enceladus. A hidden ocean on Titan?
In the hunt for exciting destinations in space – especially those that may be hospitable to simple forms of life – you would need to travel no farther than Saturn and its moons Enceladus and Titan.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
The more the craft Cassini flies past these two moons, the more tantalizing they become as targets for follow-up missions. "We've got to find a way to get back there," says Hunter Waite Jr., a space physicist with the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in San Antonio.
In Cassini's latest encounter with Enceladus, the orbiter zipped through a plume of dust, ice, and gas erupting from its south pole. Findings released Wednesday show this plume contains far larger quantities of water vapor than researchers had expected. US and European scientists also found in the plume a smorgasbord of organic chemicals, including methane, acetylene, formaldeyhde, and hydrogen cynanide.
Indeed, the plume's chemistry more closely resembles the primitive materials found in a comet than the more heavily processed chemicals one might expect to see in a mature moon, researchers say.
"To have primordial material coming out from inside a Saturn moon raises many questions on the formation of the Saturn system," says Dr. Waite, lead scientist for one of the Cassini orbiter's instruments.
From a biological standpoint, "the organics are there," he says. Whether liquid water – another key ingredient for organic life – is present beneath the surface remains an open question, he says.
Temperatures at the south pole, the plume's source region, suggest that liquid water may be present close to the moon's icy surface, adds John Spencer, another Cassini scientist with SwRI.
The geysers that are feeding the plume at supersonic speeds originate from four long fissures, dubbed the tiger stripes. These rifts are warmer than the surrounding moonscape, though the temperatures are frigid by Earth standards. The region surrounding these rifts is chilled to minus 343 degrees F., compared with temperatures of up to minus 126 degrees F. along the fissures, Dr. Spencer says.
But with the 217-degree difference, "it starts to look like there's liquid water not too far down in order to get temperatures up as high as this."
In addition, the team discovered more hot fissures near the tiger stripes. The heat source: largely friction within the moon as Saturn's gravity tugs on Enceladus as it travels in its slightly elliptical orbit around the planet.
Titan's hidden ocean?
On Tuesday, Cassini was making its 42nd science flyby Titan, Saturn's largest moon. There, Cassini has uncovered evidence that the moon's crust is blowing in the wind – literally. The implication: The crust may be riding on a global layer of liquid roughly 62 miles below the surface.

Spring 2012
Burberry Prorsum
June 18, 2011
The Vibe for Spring 2012:
East Village 1977 meets East Berlin 1962. What does that mean? It means a mashup of influences from beanies to batik prints to Modish parkas and wedgy creepers. The suits are cut cropped and tight. Perfect for a gig at The Rathskeller.

Today I'm going to write about an unusual packing companion. It's a travel app you wouldn't think to download for its packing list prowess, yet is free and the usability fantastic. But first, the back story…
A few months ago my apps disappeared from my iTunes account. Long story (cue the violins). The saddest part was I lost some of my beloved paid-for apps like my $4.99 Tetris, as well as my $2.99 Packing Pro.
When I realized my go-to packing companion was gone, I remembered that Kayak's fantabulous do-everything-that's-travel-related app has a decent packing list feature. So, rather than re-downloading and paying for a packing app, I created a "sunny extended weekend getaway" list for free.
Even though you can't organize Kayak's packing list by topic (ie – clothes, toiletries, etc…) it has pre-loaded lists, flexible editing, sorting and the ability to tick off items as you pack them. If a free version isn't going to cut it for your constant round the world trips, spring for the most highly acclaimed packing app on the market: Packing Pro ($2.99), or the less feature-rich but still pretty great Packing (+ To Do) list for $0.99.

Overall, I'd say this is an "okay" foundation. Did not hate it, but didn't love it either. Was a little moisturizing, but not quite enough for my dry skin. A little glow, but then again, not really enough. Wear was not great, about 4-5 hours, and the color turned muddy very quickly. Overall, the color change I think is more a problem with getting a good match than the formula itself. On my very pink NW20 skin, the lightest P shade was way too light, and the next shade was too dark. Very disappointed as I had heard a lot of good things about this one.

I just bought the futurist foundatin today and I LOVE LOVE LOVE It! I've been searching for so long for a foundation that would work well with my super dry skin. Every time I applied my foundation in the past I always felt like It made me look older then before I applied. I'm 32 and when I go out with no make-up people always think Im in my 20's but when I'm wearing foundation that's settles in all my little fine lines that are not normally even visible it really ages me. Not the case with the futurist this foundation goes on so smooth and instantly gives me that flawless dewy look that I've always wanted!

HG foundation. Good medium coverage (but does not feel heavy) foundation for dry skin. Great colour options - I use blonde and that works great to hide a little redness and goes with my slightly cool skin tone. Most foundations are usually just a little pink.

So this is my absolute HG winter foundation during the drier months. Or for when I want a dewy look really. It's very natural and yet covers. It's so smooth and a dream to apply. The color in 2w1 cameo is a perfect match since it's a nice light yellow when I'm much paler in the winter. I probably can use it now, but I want to save it for winter because it's so moisturizing and I think it's a waste (it's a bit pricey). Anyone with normal to rather dry skin can probably wear this anytime of the year and can appreciate the luxurious, softening moisture it provides. I am 24 and I love this. Don't sleep on Estee Lauder foundations. Hurry and try some of this, younger girls.

Love this foundation. I think its great for winter use. The only problem is it oxidizes a little, try a shade lighter or cool tone, they don't have neutral in some shades.

I've been shopping for a foundation for ageing skin for months now, I don't have loads of wrinkles, mainly just the under eye ones, and some small ones around the mouth/cheeks, not bad but they all seem to make wrinkles appear worse!
I've tried all the Revlon and Maybelline ones, no good.
I read some reviews on this one, and bought it last week, and I love it! The finish is just beautiful, I don't like matt, I was looking for a dewy/luminous one and this is perfect. I've worn it a couple of times now, and each time I do, people tell me I look great, and have a healthy glow. It's one thing if I look in the mirror and like it, the proof is in other people noticing there's something different and commenting on it!
The only concern I had was the shade, the consultant at the store suggested Fawn was the right match, in the store I was a little uncertain, it looked a tiny bit bit darker than I wanted, but once I got outside it was perfect. Maybe it took a few minutes to settle in, but it is the perfect shade for me.
I love love love it. I might try some of the other recommended ones down the track, but for now, I've found the right one for me.

Pros: Easy to blend, good coverage, makes my skin look more even, color (Porcelain) is neither yellow nor pink, dries to a matte finish, neither greasy nor drying, has a pump, reasonably priced for a department store foundation.
Cons: not particularly moisturizing even though it is supposedly for dry skin; the finish is more matte than "luminous"; SPF is not full spectrum - no UVA protection
Final Verdict: a keeper - really pleased with how well it covered redness and acne scars.

I've not written a review at MUA for longer than I can remember but this Futurist has prompted me to do so without delay. Since I've become a natural skincare convert, I've stopped purchasing synthetic skincare items but most natural or organic foundations often fail to deliver the flawless finish as I desire for the perfection of a not-so-perfect face. My age makes my skin drier and more dehydrated, and all previous high-end foundations like La Mer, Dior Prestige, etc give me dry patches as early as in the afternoon. Since I am now pro natural, I am pickier about everything I use. I look at Futurist ingredients and feel more comfortable as it does not contain parabens (some foundations do) or other known harmful substances and better off, it is non-acnegenic ...
Actually I bought Double Wear Stay-in-Place after watching a YouTube video trying to get the same flawless look, but DW is too dry for me and it really stays put not easy to remove. I went back to EL counter and was introduced to Futurist - the best advice that they have given.
I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this foundation. Feel comfortable all day long with enough, not over, moisture level to my dry but partly combination skin. It does make my skin glow with good coverage and I look revitalized and in turn younger without those disturbing dry patches. Very happy with this and I hope my search is over. The best way for me to apply is to use a brush with a generous amount (1.5 pumps) right after a moisturized face, and it melts into my skin very naturally and comfortably. Using sunscreen or primer between is no good (for me) as this extra barrier can thicken the look and make this foundation more moisturizing than I can handle. I've found that my makeup stays better this way toward the end of the day.
I've tried many many other brands including Giogio Armani, Cle de Peau, Chanel, Shiseido, Shu Uemura and even EL ReNutriv! IMO, Futurist outshines ReNutriv even under the EL umbrella and it is very affordable in terms of pricing but more remarkable by performance.

Right now this is my HG foundation!! I do have dry/somewhat sensitive skin and this makeup goes on like velvet and hydrates my skin all day long! I don't feel like I am wearing it and it looks a bit dewy at first, but never shiny/oily. I have used this foundation for 4 months and no breakouts! Great coverage and shade matches very well!! Recently I tried another foundation with good ratings and I was so dry all day and then I broke out! This is a very good foundation for medium+ coverage and dryer skin types. Probably would be ok for normal skin but probably not for oily skin.

To preface, I'm young and this is an anti-aging/for mature skin foundation... but I loved it.
-Lightweight but medium coverage
-de-emphasizes any uneven texture, skin looks so smooth
-easy to apply, i use a sonia kashuk blending brush
-pretty good color range, no overly pink or yellow undertones
-no nasty old lady smell
-good lasting power, not 24-hour or anything, but 6-8 hours for sure
-great for dry flakes!
-clogged pores, but this is probably because it contains olive oil, and my skin hates that stuff
-can get slighly shiny, but I didnt use any loose powder with it and have oily, but dehydrated skin
Someone told my my skin was glowing when I wore this, and then a minute later was like "wait...are you wearing makeup?"
That's exactly what make-up is supposed to do. If it didn't clog my pores, I would def repurchase.
anti-aging makeup looks so great on young skin btw, don't let that deter you!

Who knows a golfer best? Who's with them every minute of every round, hears their muttering, knows whether they cheat? Their caddies, of course. So sportswriter Rick Reilly figured that he could learn a lot about the players and their game by caddying, even though he had absolutely no idea how to do it. Amazingly, some of the best golfers in the world—including Jack Nicklaus, David Duval, Tom Lehman, John Daly, Jill McGill of the LPGA tour, and Casey Martin—agreed to let Reilly carry their bags at actual PGA and LPGA Tour events. To round out his portrait of the golfing life, Reilly also persuaded Deepak Chopra and Donald Trump to take him on as a caddy, accompanied the four highest-rolling golf hustlers in Las Vegas around the course, and carried the bag for a blind golfer.
In the same inimitable style that makes his back-page column for Sports Illustrated a must-read for more than fifteen million people every week, Reilly combines a wicked wit with an expert's eye in the most original and entertaining look at golf ever.

Who's Your Caddy?
Chapter One
Get Your Mouth off My Ball!
Having never caddied in my life, I needed a smallish place to start out, away from the spotlight, a podunk kind of tournament.
Naturally, I chose The Masters.
In front of thousands of people, in the greatest tournament in golf, I made my professional caddying debut, looping for 64-year-old Tommy Aaron, the 1973 champion. I think he'd tell you it went quite well, unless you count tiny, little nitpickings, such as my dropping the towel eleven times, the headcover four, the puttercover six, standing in the wrong place at the wrong time, standing in the right place at the wrong time, forgetting to give him his putter, his ball, his driver, being too close to him, being too far from him, letting the clubs clink too much as I walked, letting myself clink too much as I walked, the infamous "mouth" incident, and the awful, shameful thing that happened on No. 5 that none involved shall ever forget.
This was Friday. We were paired with "Sponge," who caddies for New Zealander Michael Campbell, and "Fanny" Sunneson, who won six majors with Nick Faldo and now is the bagwoman for Notah Begay, who hates me very much, despite the fact that I've never caddied for him.
I say, Nigel, didn't I see you last night at The Sponge and Fanny?
What happened was, Aaron hit a 3-iron at No. 5 into the left greenside bunker, then splashed out. I handed him his putter and then nervously set about my raking duties. The crowd was huge around that green, as they are around most Augusta greens, and nobody was ready to putt yet, so I could

James Shields SP KC 2 Days
James Shields allowed two runs (one earned) in 4 2/3 innings of work in Monday's start against the Mariners.
Recently given the Opening Day nod by manager Ned Yost, Shields continued his good spring, pitching into the fifth inning. The right-hander allowed five hits, didn't walk anyone, and struck out five. His Cactus League ERA is now 1.04 in 8 2/3 innings.
James Shields SP KC 4 Days
Royals manager Ned Yost announced Saturday that James Shields will get the ball on Opening Day for the Royals.
The announcement was a mere formality, as Shields is clearly the ace of the Royals staff. Jason Vargas will work in game two for the Royals, with Jeremy Guthrie tabbed for the homer opener in the fourth game of the regular season.
James Shields SP KC 7 Days
James Shields shut out the D'Backs over three innings in Wednesday's start.
Shields was solid, allowing just one hit while striking out three. The Royals' ace is in his walk year. A solid 2014 campaign could lead to a nice payday after the season. The right-hander led the league in innings pitched last season and posted a 3.15 ERA.
James Shields SP KC 8 Days
James Shields told Jim Bowden of SiriusXM on Tuesday that he is not open to in-season contract negotiations.
Shields is currently scheduled to become a free agent five days after the 2014 World Series and the Royals haven't discussed any sort of long-term extension this spring with his agent. It sure looks like the 32-year-old right-hander is headed for the open market. Shields was 13-9 with a 3.15 ERA, 1.238 WHIP, and 196 strikeouts in 228 2/3 innings last season for Kansas City.
James Shields SP KC 11 Days
James Shields worked a perfect inning against the Rangers in his Cactus League debut on Friday.
The veteran right-hander needed just 10 pitches to generate three easy groundballs in the short outing. Slated to again be a workhorse in the Royals rotation, Shields is a strong bet to exceed 200 strikeouts which makes him a strong second starter in fantasy drafts.
James Shields SP KC 1 Month
Dick Kaegel of MLB.com reports that James Shields would be willing to discuss a contract extension to remain in Kansas City long-term.
The 32-year-old right-hander who came over in last year's Wil Myers trade, was the strong workhorse the Royals expected him to be in 2013, compiling a 3.15 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 196/68 K/BB ratio over 228 2/3 innings. Set for free agency after the 2014 campaign, when asked about a potential extension Shields quipped, "Yeah, I'd definitely be open-minded to it, for sure." It would certainly be in the best interest of Dayton Moore and the Royals to get something done.
James Shields SP KC 4 Months
James Shields told Jim Bowden on Sirius XM that he hasn't had any discussions with the Royals about a contract extension, but is open to staying in Kansas City.
The 31-year-old right-hander went 13-9 with a 3.15 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 196/68 K/BB ratio over a league-high 228 2/3 innings during his first season with the Royals. He's slated to hit free agency after the 2014 season, so if the Royals are unable to work out an extension before the season, he could become a candidate to be traded at the deadline.
James Shields SP KC 4 Months
Royals exercised RHP James Shields' $13.5 million club option for the 2014 season.
It was an easy decision for the Kansas City front office after Shields registered a 3.15 ERA and 196/68 K/BB ratio across 228 2/3 innings in 2013. He'll be the ace of the Royals' starting rotation again next season.
James Shields SP KC 6 Months
James Shields spun seven innings of one-run ball and struck out 10 batters in a 6-1 win over the White Sox on Friday.
Shields was dominant, allowing just four hits and one walk. The lone run scored on a solo homer by Gordon Beckham in the bottom of the sixth inning. While the Royals will fall short in their efforts to make the postseason, Shields has done his job as the staff ace, posting a 3.15 ERA and 196/68 K/BB ratio over 228 2/3 innings. The 31-year-old right-hander is under team control for one more year.
James Shields SP KC 6 Months
James Shields (arm) played catch Monday and expects to be fine for his next scheduled start on Friday.
Shields has some swelling after taking a line drive off his pitching arm during Sunday's start. He remained in that game, though, and is in danger of being scratched Friday, especially if the Royals are still fighting for a playoff spot at that point.

Quoting should now work, as should the rating option.
@Ranger Turtle Dove said:
Apparently the font and size of font functions aren't so great either.Or will this work…
Give the new text options a whirl. They should work now.
…and we're back. You'll notice several changes to the new site
- Fixed the quote and rating issue. No more site scrapping the whole site.
- Recent topics and articles are on the sidebar.
- Waaay smaller code base, which means this be easier to update in the future.
- A bit more standardized with the WordPress default themes. This means that when folks make awesome plugins for the forum or updates to the software we use, less things will break. Trust me, this is a good thing.
- Better looking user account area. It's a minor thing and I looks better on the eyes.
As always, if you have any issues, please let me know.
I'm developing a new WordPress theme that should take care of several of these issues.
I honestly do appreciate all of you for breaking the site, as I'm able to fortify it more. Hang tight for the new site, but it'll be a subtle change.
Mmm, the limitations on what HTML you can use may be a bit constricted, which is why you can't underline or strike through text. I'll open that up in a bit.
When I have some free time, I'll be able to work on several of the requests. I'm currently swamped at the moment and will attend to these in good time.
Keep posting suggestions and any issues you may have.
The quote feature seems a little borked. I think I know what the problem is and I'll pester the developer of the plugin about this. Until then, copy and paste still works really well.
Yeah, seems borked. I think I know what the problem is and I'll pester the developer of the plugin about this.

I just tried quoting Tool, and got a spew of HTML in the edit window, and the end result was a quote of the entire page, including headers and everything.an improved quote function might be nice =)
Hmm, not certain why your quote would get all munged up. Let's start from the easiest question: are you using the Quote link?
@daMongolian said:
3) is there a way to make new posts in a thread, start at the top?Probably, but…
It's rather difficult to follow the thread of a discussion when you're starting from the end and working your way back. The movie Memento is an example of that. It sounds like another sorting feature that I can look into.
@bystander said:
Heh…Flint you REALLY expect me to be patient? actually I originally had my picture as PG…once I made it G then the system took itYou call that photo PG? *pshaww* You can do better that that
Yeah, the system was set too low at a G-rating. I've bumped it up to a PG-rating and I'm going to stop there for now. We do not need to go higher than that.
@bystander said:
Hmm….the simple 3 step instructions seem not to have workedSeems like you need to be a bit more patient, as I can see your avatar now.
Good questions and I hope these answer them:
1.) Yeah, there is a little (perhaps too little) icon on the left of the topic title. Sorta look like a page in a circle. If that page is white, you've read it and there are no responses. If there is a new topic or new responses in a topic, there is something new.
2.) It does that now. However, you may be seeing subject that are Stickied at the top. If you can provide a snapshot of what you mean, please attach it.
So daMongolian has started a pretty good thread here. Any other ideas or suggestions? Can't say that can all be implemented, but it's darn possible I've overlooked something.

Re-Enactors Take On Elvis' Parents' Wedding
Originally published on Mon June 18, 2012 8:50 am
By editor
An Elvis impersonator may be a cliche, but Zac Hutchenson and Chastity Floyd found something original to do. They reenacted the wedding of Elvis Presley's parents over the weekend in Verona, Miss. Back in 1933, Vernon Presley was too young to marry without his parents' permission. So at age 17, he lied about his age, borrowed the cash for a license and wed Gladys Smith.
