That's it for this week's update, and remember that the above updates will be in effect once the PlayStation Store updates tomorrow.
For what it's worth here's my "Sound Off"...& i don't think "there's a lot to love".
I've been a plus subscriber since day one & as I think you know continue to be so to this day, there have been a number of posts & threads over the last month or so comparing the EU/UK Plus updates to those of the USA, & whilst I have generally defended the USA's Plus program lately I & a number of others have started to think that maybe there is some sense to these posts & Threads & their arguments are starting to hold some water.
This latest update had nothing to offer, at least for me anyway, actually there are a number of others that have also said this, the results of your poll, at least earlier also said this in the votes for "nothing", sorry mochuu, but I'm beginning to think that Sony isn't caring so much about us here in the USA anymore, it all started good, the instant game collection was good, but recent updates have been very very lackluster.
Don't get me wrong, I & everyone else have received very good value for money & well in excess of our $49.99 & I'll likely remain a subscriber, but the time may be near when i let my subscription lapse until something decent, at least in my eyes comes along, it's just been, well, lacking lately.
Results current as at 21.00 today, Monday 17th Dec 2012.
I think these reults (at least so far) speak pretty loudly, don't you, Anomaly the "big freebie" this week is in third place, the Sega Collection last, The PSN Holiday Sale second & the number one spot goes to, oh yea, nothing!
Under normal circumstances I would have said that nothing appealed to me this week, as titles such as Anomaly: Warzone Earth and most of the Sega/Holiday sale has little attraction toward my wallet. However, there remains a small sliver of hope this week in a game I've kind of been wanting to play since its release. I Am Alive's demo was playing with somewhat interesting game mechanics last Spring. I've been waiting for some kind of offer all this time to pop up, but Plus hasn't done anything up until now. I might as well take advantage while opportunity strikes.
Resident Evil 4 is a fantastic game itself, and specifically one I haven't gotten yet in HD form. Having played it in the past already, though... I'm not exactly too keen on spending another $10 to play through it again. Apart from those games, the sales and the one unattractive freebie (at least from what I've played of the demo) being offered don't really have a strong showing in the larger scheme of things.
Yep im interested in a few of the games that will be on sale but otherwise nothing really for me this week. Hopefully Christmas week is better to us.
The sale is rather good this week. Will be picking up at least Hell Yeah and Escape Plan.
IGC I know nothing about Anomaly so I'll give it a shot.
Watching out most of all for vita/psp/psx updates. Lately thought about buying a few multiplayer psp games as three people in my house now have vitas (pretty awesome right?) but those I wanted weren't available. Also still waiting to play Crash on my vita whenever that time comes. Craving anything Vita thrown my way for sure.
Edit- EU plus comparisons kind of upset me as they do seem to have much better, newer, quality or however you want to say it titles however I have Gamefly so in the end it's a passing though. PS Plus for me is about the discounts though and anything free for Vita is always great even if it's PSP or PSX. Realistically I would love to get free psx games every month if a time ever came for that.
i came in here to blast-- but after reading brits post-- i cant say it better - so i wont try -well maybe a lil
i wont even waste my time downloading the free game-- but the lbp on vita deal sounds great and i will buy it--- im predicting it will be free on plus within 3 months though-- all lbp seems to end up there
'Nothing for me this week" as well.
This so called "Holiday Push" is severely lacking. While the free PSN titles are great and all, I played maybe 2 of them since IGC's inception.
The first 3 months of IGC were by far the best IMO.

ASUS GTX660 TI-DC2O-2GD5 - Overclocked GTX 660 TI 2GB DDR5 + Borderlands 2 & Assassins Creed III Downloads - $239.99 AR with in-store pick up @ Frys
Hmmmm, can you call them at the # on their website to order over the phone and request the game codes? Guess we'll find out..............
Last edited by edgeh2o; 01-31-2013 at 10:50 PM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
If you want to know why you'd pick ASUS over another brand, there are several reasons. They make a compelling argument about selecting higher grade components, and their warranty is pretty good. On top of that, i've bought several recent ASUS cards alongside similar ones from other companies and the ASUS ones seem to be cooler. The cooling assemblies are generally constructed better (MUCH better than some PNY, MSI, even EVGA and other cards) and work better. IMHO, for a similar price, it makes no sense to get anything else. |
Showing in store only, no problems here have a Fry's 5 minutes away. I paid $300 at launch for my Gigabyte 660TI and it has been a great card.
$239 AR is a good deal by itself, but it also comes with download vouchers for Borderlands 2 (awesome!) and Assassin's Creed 3 (meh). Those could sell for $20 each on fleabay if you're not interested in them. Borderlands 2 is totally worth it though, I have had a blast with it and it runs like a dream on these cards. 3 year warranty. And I would totally buy an Asus card over the usually discounted brands like Galaxy and Zotac (meh and double meh). Thumbs up. edit - additional thought.... the rebate is good for 2 cards, but Fry's says 1 per household. So if you want SLI either take a friend with you to get 2 at once, or take a chance on dropping the card off at your car and going back in for a second one. That could vary from store to store... if they are on the shelf, probably no big deal. But if they are behind a counter and you have to engage a sales rep, it kind of depends on their mood.

Very good review: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pa...e
Think I finally go for this one and with paying with Amex will give me a total of 5 years warranty. WTF? In store only Last edited by Buckyball60; 02-01-2013 at 07:36 AM.. |

First Monopoly, Now This: Battleship Gets Stupid Electronic 'Eye Of Sauron' Upgrade
You sunk my expectations.
Hasbro, in an attempt to modernize some of their most popular board games, has deciding adding stupid electronic towers is the answer. Which, fun fact: it isn't. I'm not gonna lie Hasbro, your R&D department be strugglin'. MORE RESEARCH, LESS DUMBSHIT!
After "re-inventing" Monopoly with a 10-inch electronic tower, Hasbro is giving the classic game of Battleship a similar makeover -- infrared tower and all.
Just like Monopoly Live, the $50 Battleship Live uses an infrared light that cloaks the board to "see" what is going on. Players still use coordinates to sink their opponent's ships, but with a few new features. There are now spy planes that can fly around a track and "snoop" on your opponent's ships and to confirm your attack, you cover both of the "confirm" squares on the side of the board momentarily.
SPY PLANES!! What. the. f***. I don't remember any spy planes! What I do remember is moving my ships around so my opponent couldn't find them. Call me a cheater, electronic tower, I dare you! Remember how the Eye of Sauron fell at the end of Lord of the Rings? Well your ass is going in the garbage disposal with a fistful of forks. TING-A-LING, TATTLETALE, TING-A-LING!
Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the back-of-the-closet-space-taker-upper.
Oh no, Battleship gets the electronic tower treatment as well [dvice]

Comments about this poem (Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge )
* Sunprincess *
This is a true masterpiece, even the title The Sacred River would fit this poem perfectly..
I read this and was entranced with the river and the rocks, I felt as if I was trying to cross from an embankment at the edge of the river. At the most shallow location I could find and carefully making my way to the other side. Stepping on the river rocks and being very careful not to slip or fall.
This poem is a pleasure to read :) -
Kevin Patrick
years ago I had a collection of romantic and victorian poetry this poem was in it, when I read it I could not help but think how similar it was to the lyrics to the RUSH song of the same name, and then I realized Neal Peart stolle it almost verbatum from this. Well he stole a masterful poem and turned it into a well crafted song. But Rime of the ancient Mariner is still the best work Coleridge EVER wrote
Paul Brookes
For once I agree with Mr Straw's assessment of this poem and of the Romantics too. The poem certainly resonates if imperfect, of the poets feeling on nature etc, and better by half than some of todays bleeding heart poetry which frankly is self indulgent and far to egocentric, with little beauty or poetic line to recommend it.
Shahzia Batool
Pieces with Surrealistic suggestions can never be completed, and therein lies their intrinsic beauty -
the charm of the poem advocates that it is conceived and composed by one who on honey-dew hath fed and drunk the milk of paradise... -
Cameren Lee
This is a milestone in poetry, and not only because of its influence on psychedelia [I, for the record, discovered this poem upon learning that it was the influence for the classic Rush song/epic Xanadu. That may sabotage my credibility here, but at least I'm being honest.]. The Abyssinian maid really hit me personally.
Cs Vishwanathan
I concur with most of what Straw and Fraser say, particularly with these romanticists being masters of their craft. The mastery of craft itself is a measure of the poet's talent and genius. Coleridge, s corpus was amazingly uneven. Only in three or four poems his genius finds full expression - 'Kubla Khan' being one of them. Its last two verses give it a kind of closure and completeness which makes it a fully formed poem by itself despite the interruption by the 'man from Porlock'. Coleridge's poetry straddles Wordsworth's nature mysticism (romanticism?) and the world-well-lost romantic bravura of Shelly and Keats. He also foreshadows pre-Raphaelites. He also had in abundance what can only be called the dulcet measure of mellifluousness. Only Swinburne matches him in this. This quality of his poetry makes it live for us even now.

This is my all time favourite poem of Coleridge! It is the expression of his dream without any correction! Though it was stopped by some intruder it has become a complete piece of its own accord! Only few poets can do this magic!
Kevin Straw
Is it not a mystery how some poets can pack into a few words an energy that makes those words resound to every generation that reads them? This poem is a magnificent failure, but head and shoulders above many a mundane success. My only problem with the Romantic movement is that many poets have taken its message to be 'whatever you write is poetry if it's about your feelings'. Blake, Keats, Coleridge etc were masters of their craft - not just self-indulgent babblers using words to make a vague stab at describing what they feel.
Ian Fraser
This superb poem has had an influence across the centuries on many generations of the young, most notably upon the 'pychedelic' movement of the 1960s and is a perfect example of the style of writing of the Romantic movement with its exotic setting and grandiose, visionary style. There is a strong surreal element in it and indeed it is said that Coleridge did in fact write it under the influence of opium. It is also generally regarded as unfinished and there is a funny story attached to that. It is said that while he was writing, he was interrupted by a visitor from Porlock, a nearby village. When he returned to his desk he could no longer remember what he was going to write. Since then the phrase 'persons from Porlock' has come to mean irritating visitors who distract us from what we were doing. Despite this, many people like the way the poem ends with the wild image of the priestly mage who 'hath drunk the milk of paradise'.The whole poem has a lawless, uncontrolled feel about, though in fact it is written in a very strict classical meter, the iambic tetrameter, with a complex formal scheme of rhyme.. It is this contrast between the wild and ungovernable on the one hand and the classical on the other that gives the best writing of this period so much of its particular flavor. It is, however, quite easy to parody this style and I came across one young reader who thought it was something from Dungeons and Dragons!
Ramesh T A
Wonderful poem I cherish most in my mind and cannot forget Coleridge forever due to the ex temporary expression of this dream poetry of the great romantic poet of UK!

Howdy y'all, a long while back I asked for information on German and English corpora which are tagged for grammatical functions, as well as for accessible parallel English-German corpora. Here is a summary of the replies I got. ENGLISH GRAMMATICALLY TAGGED CORPORA Joybrato Mukherjee (email@example.com) drew my attention to the International Corpus of English, which can be ordered at the following website (which also allows you to download a very nice demo version): http://www.ucl.ac.uk/english-usage/ice/ GERMAN GRAMMATICALLY TAGGED CORPORA George Smith (email@example.com) drew my attention to the NEGRA and TIGER projects, which can be reached via the following websites: http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/sfb378/negra-corpus/ http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/cl/projects/tiger/ PARALLEL CORPORA GERMAN-ENGLISH Anatol Stefanowitsch (email@example.com) drew my attention to a small web-accessible parallel corpus at the University of Chemnitz: http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/phil/InternetGrammar/ Some people have their own collections of parallel texts, which they may or may not be willing to share with others (there may be copyright issues here). The two that agreed to be mentioned here are - Raphael Salkie (email@example.com), who has a collection of parallel texts from websites, literature, manuals, EU- documents, political writing and speeches coming to about 800.000 words in each language. - Anatol Stefanowitsch, who has a small collection of parallel texts from news magazines (about 15,000 words), and who is in the process of assembling a larger parallel corpus of narrative writing.

This topic contains 74 replies, has 56 voices, and was last updated by CrimsonWS6 2 years ago.
Just out of pure fun, I wanna see who everyone wants to see Tech do a track with in 2012. Here's some of mine:
(No certain order)
Living Legends
Machine Gun Kelly (Think they could make a sick party song)
ASAP Rocky (him and Kutt and Jay Rock, be a sick song)
and yes, of course, EM.
more with hopsin
NO ONE. I like Tech's solo songs a little more than his featured ones. But if I had to choose, maybe a song with Machine Gun Kelly & Eminem just to do it. But he needs to do more songs with the Kottonmouth Kings & Insane Clown Posse.
Dr. Octagon
more MAYDAY
more B.O.B
more Lynch
if a beat "says" the artists name, I'm sure it will sound fine
B.O.B, yes! MAYDAY and Tech= awesome songs!

AppleWorks and Lion
If your qriginal inquiry was whether or not AppleWorks would run under Lion, the answer is No. Apple is not including Rosetta with Lion and the older Rosetta app will not work. Therefore, any app requiring PPC will no longer work under Lion. Apple was declared Dead by Apple back in 2006 and now is no longer usable unless you continue to use OS X 10.6.x or lower. I'm sorry to see it go, but that's life. As an alternative, I use Open Office which is available for free from openoffice.org. It has a word processor, a spreadsheet, a presentation program and a database. Unfortunately you cannot just import ApplrWork documents into Open Office. The word processing documents can be easily imported, and the spreadsheet can be imported as well. However. the database documents cannot be imported and must be remade.

AppleWorks was declared EOL...

"Apple is no longer what it once was."
I wouldn't put it that way. After all, AW still worked for further 5 years after declaring EOL! And AW Files (at least text and spreadsheets, don't know of the others) can still be opened by pages!
Many years ago, when NisusWriter was updated for OSX it was unable to even open it's own old file versions!! *That* was a pitty! Had to convert hundreds of Nisus files to PDF! At that time I changed to AW and stood with it till Pages came out.
So, IMHO Apple handled this thing pretty fair.

- Word Processing documents can be opened directly only in Pages.
- Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store).
- Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in Numbers.
- Presentations can be opened directly only in Keynote.
To use other programs, or open Painting or Database documents at all, you must export from AppleWorks first. Therefore it is important not to wait to migrate your documents until a future upgrade of some sort has broken Appleworks.
This 7-page article examines the options for migrating from AppleWorks in some detail.

I had only Word Processing documents left over. When I opened and saved them in Pages, I could not print many of them - although they showed up in preview. Possibly it was a font issue. As I only needed the files for archive purposes, I converted them all to PDF and am now done with AW. Nevertheless I appreciate your precise statement! May well be helpfull for others! Thanks!

>the answer is No.
I would not be so bold as to say No, outright. First off, while reports all over the web have announced that Rosetta is gone, and Apple has made no statement regarding Rosetta, there is always a chance that Apple would allow Rosetta to exist within Lion. Even if not from the start, if the demand is high enough, it might be able to if people demanded it here enough:
Secondly Appleworks does have a comparable Windows version that would work in virtualization of Windows under Lion, assuming that is there. See my FAQ*: http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
And if indeed the rumors are true, the suggested alternatives are good. There is also Purgatory Design's Intaglio as an alternative draw application. http://www.filemaker.com/ has both Bento & Filemaker Pro as alternatives to import Appleworks database export documents.An Apple user since 1981, Mac OS X (10.6.7), - * Links to my pages may give me compensation.-

I've tried to Lion-proof my future by converting AW documents as follows :
WP - Save As RTF and/or Word, both of which can be read by TextEdit
DR - Save As any image file, e.g. JPEG, though there is no way to preserve individual graphics objects*
PT - similar
DB - (sorry, as a FMP user for 17 years I don't know the answer to this.)
SS - Save As an eXcel file either Mac or Win, or as an ASCII text file
* if it's a particularly important document, and you have a layer-based image editor such as Photoshop, each graphic object can be copied and pasted as a separate layer, though each will have to be re-positioned. It would REALLY have to be worth doing!

This is appalling news. I have over 20 years of work in AppleWorks (nee ClarisWorks) documents. I use AppleWorks as much as Mail and Safari and nothing yet is able to replace it. I create new Apple Works drawing documents every day of my life and to think that suddenly I would not have access to these does not bear thinking about, let alone 'upgrading'.
I almost downloaded Lion yesterday and I am totally disgusted that there was no warning that I would have lost so much of my past and current life.

If you find this to be "news," Tim, then you haven't been paying attention for the past six years. AppleWorks received its last update in 2004 or 2005, and was declared EOL in 2006. Other than leaving the update files online and this forum/community running in Apple Discussions, now Apple Support Communities, Apple discontinued selling AppleWorks and discontinued supporting it.
Since that time, the message has been pretty constant on AWUG, in the ClarisWorks/AppleWorks email list, and here on Apple discussions/ASC: eventually AppleWorks will not be able to run under a new version of the operating system.
Well, the time has come. If you want/need to run your Mac undere Lion, then you will not be able to use AppleWorks on that computer when it is running Lion. If you want/need to un Appleworks, then you'll have to keep/maintain at least one computer running a version of Mac OS X earlier than Lion. You might find that "appalling," but it certainly isn't "news."
(Who's continuing to use AppleWorks on an iBook G4 with Mac OS X v4, but who is also backing up his data to Numbers and/or text files.)

There's almost a contradiction in philosophy there. AW is a suite of programs whose value is seen more by traditionalists who are accustomed to using their computer for serious document creation and doing work. For such people, appearances are - if I may be bold - less important than results.
Lion seems very much aimed at the 'twist, swipe, wipe and jab' generation, who have grown up with iPods and probably see computers as primarily means to consume and share content (music, video, photographs) and network socially, but who see non-media document creation as a whole lot less significant.
To be honest, I would reject Lion for now. You have a great OS in Snow Leopard, and apart from Resume and Versions (the former can be gained from third-party suppliers, while the latter doesn't seem to me to offer a whole lot over Time Machine) it's all fancy glitzy stuff that can be summed up as "style over content".

It may be appalling (it is to me, too), but it's not surprising, and not really "news" to those of us who have kept our ears to the ground and eyes on Mac developments.
I'm surprised (and grateful) that AppleWorks has worked as well as it has for as long as it has. I bought my new MacBook Pro in March because all the scuttlebutt said that AppleWorks was a goner with Lion. I wanted the last, best 13-incher that would run AppleWorks. I won't upgrade any further until I am forced to do so by some other thing that is more essential to me than AppleWorks. Right now, I can't imagine what that would be.

A Horse of Course explores the numerous ways in which the horse has inspired artists throughout the ages. No animal has been more important to us, or figured more prominently in our art, than the horse. This exhibition is a testament to the magnificence of the horse throughout history and its changing image over time. A wide variety of artists are represented, ranging from George Stubbs, to Edgar Degas, to Deborah Butterfield. The twelve photographic reproductions are selected from the permanent collections at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. While this exhibition is perfect for K – 12 students, anyone interested in horses or art history will find the diversity of works fascinating. While in modern times the utilitarian context of the horse has faded with the emergence of the automobile, the equine image has not lost its ability to inspire. However, artistic depictions of the horse today are drastically different from what they were in the past. Contemporary artists, like Deborah Butterfield, have made horse sculptures out of media never used in traditional representations. This evolution in artistic renderings reflects the ever-present, albeit changing, role of a beautiful and captivating animal.
The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts has a variety of exhibitions available for statewide travel. This exhibition is supported by the Paul Mellon Fund.LIMITED SecurityLoan Period: 4 to 6 Weeks Fee: Free

Easy to use
Clear and intuitive with wysig properties of objects
PRICE- like shareware avarege for thid sophisticated software( please compare
other programs with accurate deatils layouts)Cons
one thing annoying- when place objects, do not see exactly position or parameters ( on the fly) and has to be changed later.
Best 3d cad software in ratio to the price. Would strongly reccomend .
"Excellent !"
Version: Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4 188.8.131.52
1 - Libraries, much Libraries
2 - Friendly interface

4 - PRICE ! This is the most because give us access to a such a good product.Cons
Nothing else to say !
I could say a lot, but everything is summarized above!
Thank you so much ! -
"Works well but takes getting used to"
Version: Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4 220.127.116.11
Once I'd spent a few hours playing I laid out a 3-bedroom house quickly, with complicated odd bits of wall etc. Ctrl-W and the construction aids make alignment and positioning very easy. I should now be able to experiment placing furniture.
The choice of types of object (windows, doors etc) is large but lacking obvious variations (and only for Germany). Help is not detailed enough, though its basics are good. Cannot print 3D view?
"Don't remember downloading this"
Version: Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4 22.214.171.124
I don't know pros because I have never tried to use this program.
I must not have been real impressed with this program because I do not remember ever downloading it.
I simply do not remember downloading this program. I must have not been very impressed or I would have remembered. I am sure I did not pay money. Perhaps I downloaded it and just let a trial expire. Whatever the case, I was apparently no more impressed by it as with any other Ashampoo applications.
"difficult to use for a novis user"
Version: Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4 126.96.36.199
haven't been able to get the hang of it to find pros
all I was wooking for was a basic cad to lay out small building projects such as a deck
probably great for an experienced used
"Uiterst handig programma."
Version: Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4 22.214.171.124
eenvoudig in gebruik maar toch met uitgebreide mogelijkheden, prachtig 3D resultaat.
Zeer schappelijke prijs, goede ondersteuning.Cons
Je kan geen eigen 3D componenten uit zelf getekende 2D componenten maken.
Is nog niet 100% stabiel, het programma doet soms gekke dingen. -
"Outstanding 3D CAD for both amateurs and professionals"
Version: Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4 126.96.36.199
Easy of use, very fast, very good price, import of COB and SCN files of Caligari trueSpace, very good PDF manuals and CHM help files, very good video tutorial, extensive catalog of objects and materials
Export to COB or SCN fles (Caligari trueSpace) does not work
I am very satisfied with this program. I wish import and export of 3D objects in SketchUP format.
"Absolut nutzlos!"
Version: Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4 18.104.22.168
Gibt es keine.
Keine Fangpunkte, Grundisse lassen sich nicht importieren. Absturz beim laden und speichern von Dateien. Import von DXF " Es steht keine Programm-Komponente zum laden der Datei zur Verfügung"
Werde versuchen mein Geld zurückzubekommen.
"Easy to use with more options than originally expected"
Version: Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4 184.108.40.206
User-friendly, easy to switch bewteen 2D and 3D views, many choices for materials and construction type to choose from.
No landscape options for even immediate surroundings of buildings.
So far I am more than impressed. The fact that it does not save in AutoCAD format is NOT a let down. I READ THIS FACT BEFORE downloading. I have AutoCAD for AutoCAD files!
"Took 3 downloads to open it. Dosen't open dwg files"
Version: Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4 184.108.40.206
Easy user interface
Dose not open dwg files. could not draw lines at set bearings. Basically inflexible and thus useless
Not good

Permits Available For Cutting Christmas Trees On National Forest Land In New Mexico
New Mexicans can buy permits to cut Christmas trees on national forest land in the state.
The permit prices vary depending on the forest, but are available through Dec. 24.
The Gila and Lincoln national forests are selling $5 permits, and the tags are free for pinon trees in the Gila.
The permits are $10 in the Santa Fe and Cibola national forests for trees up to 10 feet.
The permits for the Santa Fe National Forest can be purchased at district offices as well as several vendors in northern New Mexico — the Los Alamos Historical Society museum shop in Los Alamos; REI in Santa Fe; Laguna Vista Quick Stop in Las Vegas; and in Pecos at the Pecos Canyon Station, Griego's Market and Pancho's Minute Men station.

This is super light and covers great. It's the only other concealer I can use other than my Neutrogena smooth stick, that doesn't piss me off and look gross on my skin. It's water based so it smooths out evenly and it lets your skin breath. Doesn't feel like you have makeup on, unless you cake it on with a brush or sponge... Which because its consistency, you can make that mistake your first couple times using this. But when used right, It doesn't look cakey under powder and it honestly looks and feels like your own real skin... Just your skin if it had no imperfections or redness of course. Totally worth it. Their site sucks for trying to order the right color though, so maybe try calling them for shade help or going down there. I live near the area so it helps... But I still hate going there so once you get your shade once, ordering online from them is a breeze. I have medium w/ neutral undertones skin. Close to Jessica Simpson or Carrie underwood skin, and i use the shade 506(15) for concealing. It's awesome stuff!

** Not Tested On Animals **
Skin type: normal to dry but acne prone.
Desperately seeking a new HG foundation since I found out MAC test on animals after being bought out by Estee Lauder. For reference, I am MAC NC25 / NC30 - see my notepad for my colour matches to other brands.
PREPARATION: as my skin is dry, I usually apply a facial oil or moisturiser first, but as this is stage makeup & quite heavy, I applied primer only.
CONSISTENCY: This is a cream foundation which easily provides full coverage. Creamy & smooth but quite dense & heavy too, applied using the beauty blender & finished with Ben Nye banana powder.
QUALITY: Excellent! Full coverage + didn't budge all day. Great pigmentation
RE-PURCHASE? Unfortuntely, no : ( I finished taking Accutane 7 years ago & this foundation gave me my first recurrence of 2 HUGE cystic acne pimples on my cheek, after wearing it 2 days in a row. I purchased samples from Camera Ready Cosmetics for $4, each little pot contains enough for a bit more than 3 applications so I've been using it as under eye concealer with no problems so far.
ETA: Have increased my rating from 1 lippy to 4 - I've tried this again with no break outs so my skin was obviously just being weird the first time.

I love this baby! I bought this mainly because I could never find a foundation that suited my skintone and this offered a wide range of cool and warm toned colors. It is very blendable and smooth and a little goes a long, long way considering it's full coverage. It doesn't have SPF so I assume it would photograph well. It also comes in a small pot so it fits easily in my makeup bag whenever I travel but you get enough to last you a while. Highly recommend you try it out, especially if you can't find a shade for your skintone.
More reviews by EyeshadowArtist
I don't order this from the site, when I go get a facial done the woman sells these to me for the same price that the website does. I guess she has immediate supply.
Since she matched me, I have a perfect matching shade, so that isn't a problem. However, I have oily skin, and apply a sunscreen under, but no primer. The sunscreen isn't oily, but doesn't help it stick. I also have rosacea (red cheeks, or discoloration, as some call it) What I figured is that I first put it on with a stipple brush from elf, and then I use a triangle sponge applicator on the super red spots that you can buy by the bagful for like two bucks. You have to be really careful when applying with the sponge, because it might end up looking super dark or cakey. But I like it, you have to play around a lot to figure out the best application look.
So this is my HG. I'm going off to college now, so I have to find a ne one (UGH) but basically, as an NC20, this is 602-65? It's a dream, especially since it cancels out my rosacea. What you have to do it apply it with a sponge or singers - not a brush, or it'll go on thin and you'll waste product. I learned that lesson. My only thing is that it is not cheap. One day when I have money I will buy this again maybe though hopefully I won't need foundation any more, by then. Anyway, that's the only reason I don't give it five stars, the cost. Because it costs 20 bucks to get a small pot, 30 bucks to get a large one, and I just don't have the moolah. oh well, time to go to covergirl.

For reference, I'm a C2 (light w/yellow undertones) and use 602-65 for a spot concealer.
I can't really comment on packaging, since I've only ordered a sample size of this from Camera Ready Cosmetics. The sample should last me quite awhile though, as I only use it for blemishes and only wear makeup once or twice a week. It does cover nicely, but you've got to learn how to make it work for you personally. I do wish it were a little drier and waterproof, as the creaminess of it makes it sometimes smudge off as I'm trying to blend. And you absolutely have to set it with some sort of powder, which can also be tricky to get on.
But, I like it and will most likely purchase the full size (which is very cheap in comparison to other concealers) when I run out.
I tried this as a foundation but it was just too much for me. So, I used this (in shade 602-65) as a concealer to match my liquid foundation (Nars sheer matte in Deauville). For me, this was a good replacement for Mac studio finish in NC20, which broke me out. This one doesn't break me out, nor does it oxidize on me.
This is so much easier to use because it's softer and you need very little because the pigmentation is fantastic. It's really easy to apply and blend (I use The Body Shop's synthetic eyeshadow brush), the finish is like skin, and it stays put when done right.
This is a good concealer, it will last for ages. Definitely worth checking out.
I bought this after great reviews here. The colors are very nice but they completely burned my under-eye skin. Cannot use it as a concealer, but still useful for the red neutralizers.

I just have to say that I LOVE this foundation. I ordered several pallettes and placed them right into my kit!! I love the fact how little you actually need to create a flawless finish. I used the good old wet sponge technique to smooth and blend out this foundation. I was very impressed on how smooth it makes the skin look on camera...my client was speechless when she saw the photos!! If you are an artist and want a great addition to your kit...grab them!!!

(I talk about the shades for a bit.. to read my thoughts about the coverage, etc.. read past the *** asterisks) Since I wear self tanner on a daily basis, I can range anywhere from NC30-40. I usually stay somewhere in the middle. Around NC35-NC37. A true NC40 works perfectly on days where I'm rocking a good tan, but any darker I cannot do. I'm on the lighter to true spectrum of the NC40. Foundations that work the best for me are foundations that are yellow toned. Beige/Neutral foundations make me look ill and gray, Cool foundations make me look pink, Warm (red) foundations make me look like I have a severe sunburn and too olive of foundations make me look green. So.. golden yellow work wonderful and match my neck the best. Cinema Secrets has different "series" for different skintones. The "300 Series" is "for many Asian and Caucasian skin tones with yellow base and undertones." The 300 series contains 6 shades. 301-306. I purchased two samples from camerareadycosmetics.com for I believe $3.99 each. I ordered 301-63A (a soft extra light warm yellow beige) and 302-65A (light warm yellow beige). 301 ended up being a little light for my whole face at the moment, but it worked great on days where I'm not as tan. It also worked great under my eyes. I would say 301 is a good match for a NC30.. and possibly NC25. 302 worked great all over my face. It's a good NC35 match. You may be able to wear it if you are a NC30 as well. 303 is two shades darker than 302 (I had to double check.. it seems a little odd.. why two and not one?). Some NC40's use 303.. but I haven't so I can't say for sure. But I'm assuming it would work well. 304 is "a mixture of yellow, pink-warm tone and soft light golden beige". It appears to be lighter than 303 and I've read that it matches NC35 pretty well. 305 and 306 are shades above NC40 (possibly in the NC50 range). I'll be ordering 302 and 301. 302 for all over my face and 301 to highlight under my eyes. I might order a sample of 303 just to see how it works.. and possibly mix it with 302 if I have a dark tan. Foundation palette #3 contains 301, 302, 303, 201 & 202. (201 & 202 are deep olives.. if you're around my skin tone you can use these to contour). So, #3 is a good choice for NC30-NC40.*******Because the foundation is a cream, I like using a moisturizing wash on my face and then applying witch hazel to my face with a cotton ball so I don't have excess oil on my face prior to application.Then with my ELF angled foundation brush I apply the foundation in light strokes until blended. It blends really effortlessly and you don't need to sit there and buff for a long time. You only need to touch the foundation with the brush. You don't need to scoop or dig. It's very pigmented and its best to start out with as little as possible and then go back and add more. The finish is almost like a 2nd skin. To me, it looks very natural and it doesn't look cakey. Definitely use a setting powder because creme foundations tend to smudge easily. I've also used a MAC 131 brush and a foundation sponge and they all worked very well. When I want less coverage, I spray my brush with a little MAC Fix+ and apply the foundation. It sheers it out a bit. I don't find it to be so heavy that it needs sheering out though. I haven't seemed to have any reactions or breakouts.

This gives medium sheer coverage. I don't think it looks natural. It is wer creame formula. It applies really wet and unevenly. I won't call it medium coverage because it does not give coverage like Clarins True Comfort liquid foundation or Loreal True match liquid foundation which I consider to be medium coverage. This does not hold up in heat at all. It is runny. The colors are not good.
If you are looking for full coverage I would go for Estee Lauder Double Wear, Dior DiorSkin Forever Extreme Wear Flawless Makeup, prescriptivews flawless finish. Or even Revlon color stay liquid foundation, sticky, which gives full coverage is better. Make up for ever face and body foundation is better. Clarins true comfort, Esteer Laude's lucidy is better. Loreaol True comfort is better. I only wore it for one day in hot weather. Does not cover. It melts immeadetly in the heat. I think Price is two high. As a concealer Mac studi finish concealr and Dermablend cover creme give more coveage, they are fully coverage.

A master interpreter, Luka Bloom has continued to balance original songs with reinventions of tunes by a diverse range of songwriters. On THIS NEW MORNING, Bloom continues to shake up the folk genre with clever chord sequences and arrangements while still retaining folk'... more
"That he scales such emotional heights with just his voice, a guitar and a bagful of heartfelt songs makes Bloom's achievements even more remarkable." —Hot Press (Ireland)
"The soulful folk artist has chosen a range of songs from his back catalogue and turned them on their heads, creating a strictly solo-acoustic new batch of beauties." —Rhythms Magazine (Australia)
Luka Bloom was born Kevin Barry Moore in 1955 to Nancy Power and Andy Moore of Newbridge in County Kildare, Ireland. He is the youngest member of the family and has three sisters and two brothers. Music was an intrinsic part of his life growing up. All of the family sing and play, but Barry had his own way and style of making music. From a very early age he was writing songs and honing his skills as a serious guitar player. He first went on tour at fourteen years old as the support act to his eldest brother, Christy Moore, in 1969. Around this time he wrote 'Jenny Of The Sun' and 'Wave Up To The Shore' - which was recorded by Christy in 1976.
He did gigs around Ireland, from the Meeting Place (a hot spot for music in the 70s and 80s) in Dublin to McGanns (still one of the best pubs in Ireland for a traditional music session) in Doolin and all places in between. In 1977 he toured Germany and England as part of the group Inchiquin with fellow members Noel Hill and Tony Linnane. Micho Russell toured with the group. Barry became close to Micho as a result and still calls him a hero. His song 'Hands of a Farmer' is dedicated to Micho. In 1978 he released his first album—the classic Treaty Stone.
Barry was, and is, passionate in regards to issues of injustice and protection of the environment. He participated in the Anti-Nuclear Festivals held in Carnsore Point three years running in 1979. He was a finger picking folkie, until the middle of 1979, when tendonitis caused serious damage to his picking hand. As a result he learned to play with a plectrum and changed his style of playing.
In 1979 Barry moved to Groningen in Holland and was based there for a number of years. He recorded the album In Groningen in 1980 which included the Felix Pappalardi song 'One Last Cold Kiss'.
1982 saw the release of No Heroes - all of the songs on this album are written by Barry. 'Remember The Brave Ones' was later recorded by Moving Hearts.
From 1983 to 1986 Barry fronted the Dublin post-punk/pop band Red Square. It was one of 5000 bands in Dublin trying to become the next U2. About the experience, Barry said, "[It] Got me off the stool, out of the folk clubs, taught me how to roar."
Finally in 1987 he made the decision to head to America. With the decision to start up in a new country with new people, Barry decided to take on a new name Luka Bloom—"Luka" from the Suzanne Vega song "My name is Luka" and "Bloom" from James Joyce's Ulysses. "EI104, the lovely old jumbo that brought me to America in 1987. Window seat: looking down from 35,000 feet at America, repeating quietly to myself, 'Hi, my name is Luka Bloom. I'd like to play here.'" "I made a conscious decision before I went to America to create a solo performance that would be exciting and relevant to rock audiences. I also decided that I was going to create an audience for myself, without the help of record companies."
In 1990 Luka recorded the definitive Riverside which features many of his classic songs not least of which is 'The Man Is Alive'. Recorded in New York, many of the songs describe his experiences of New York City as in 'Delirious' or 'Hudson Lady'.
1991 saw Luka back in Dublin to record the next album The Acoustic Motorbike. Luka covered the L.L.Cool J's 'I Need Love' and as Rolling Stone put it "the prospect of a folksy Irish rocker covering a rap ballad may seem strange, but experimenting with different forms is precisely what keeps established traditions vital." Indeed—and Luka defied tradition with his version!
In 1991 Luka appeared at the PinkPop Festival in Landgraaf in the Netherlands which is considered the start of his breakthrough in Europe. Then in November 1992 Luka headed down under for an extensive tour of Australia. The following review tells, "Luka is a solo performer whose trademark is his thunderous and exhilarating acoustic guitar playing, his fine voice and his warm and passionate delivery. His songs reflect the experiences of so many exiled Irish people who have left for far shores in search of a new life, dreams and love. This is reflected in his song 'Dreams in America'. As he writes there is always the hope of a 'reunion in the progress of time'."
On 1993's Turf Luka came home to Ireland to record a batch of songs with Ireland's leading producer, Brian Masterson, and with sound engineer Paul Ashe-Browne. Turf used a live audience in the studio to try and capture the atmosphere and essence of his live performances.
"Turf to an Irishman can mean many things. It's something used to fuel fires in the winter, it's a treasured land often left behind. It's taking a stand when your back's against the wall. It's sacred ground that is not meant to be messed with." 'The Fertile Rock' was to become the anthem from Turf about a campaign to save the magnificent Mullaghmore in the Burren from developers.
Luka returned to the heart of Ireland, Birr, Co. Offaly, in 1995 and wrote the songs which fill the CD Salty Heaven. Just as "I Need Love" could only have emerged from his time in New York, these classic songs could only have come from this landscape he calls home.
The following is an extract from the Joe Jackson's Irish Times review of the album:
"But from the achingly reflective opening song 'Blackberry Time' through relatively inconsequential tracks like 'Ciara' to the epic, famine-based closing tune, 'Forgiveness', this album will either seduce the hell out of you and take you to, yeah, a tearful heaven or leave you cold. Depends on whether or not you are open to art that is quiet and caressing, rather than screaming to be heard. Not just a wonderful album but an album filled with wonder. And that is a real accomplishment."
The launch of 'Salty Heaven' saw Luka embark on another world tour to all the familiar countries again culminating in Vicar Street in Dublin.
Keeper of the Flame, released in October 2000, is an album of other artist's songs. As he said himself at the time: "I have always believed that it is possible for a solo artist to sing songs from any area and the only limitations are in people's minds. Rather than covering these songs as a novelty, I was determined to convey my love of these songs and the artists who created them."
2001 saw another departure for Luka. He became an independent artist and revisited his early work by releasing The Barry Moore Years. This album is a compilation of songs written between 1975-1986.
On St. Brigid's Day 2002 he released Between The Mountain And The Moon. This CD holds a special place in Luka's heart. It is the first album of his own songs that he owns. He took his time writing and recording the songs over a two-year period. He again took to the road and toured extensively in Europe, America, Australia over the next six months.
In February 2002 in the beautiful Carre Theatre in Amsterdam, Luka played to a large audience of devoted fans who had travelled from as far as the West Coast of Clare, Cork, Kildare, and Boulder, Colorado. Luka's performance is summed in his own words—"Every gig is precious. Whether the Spa in Lisdoonvarna, Carre in Amsterdam, or the Melbourne Concert Hall, the privilege is the same, as is the commitment to the gig."
Amsterdam was released in 2003 which was recorded from a live performance in the Carre Theatre in Amsterdam. In 2004 nine soft songs were recorded for insomniacs for Before Sleep Comes.
Luka spent the ensuing 18 months launching Innocence in Australia in February 2005, touring constantly in Europe and the US.
In 2007 Luka headed to France to mix Tribe—a collaboration with Dubliner Simon O'Reilly. Throughout the remaining months of 2007 Luka worked with two young producers, Niall Rynne and Usna Tunney on The Man is Alive— a film of two live concerts in Dublin and at Luka's home. The package includes a documentary 'My name is Luka', which was made by a Dutch tv company, and a live cd.
Interested in returning to the raw live sound of his earlier records, Luka headed o Grouse Lodge recording studios in County Westmeath set about to work with David Odlum (ex-Kila and ex-The Frames) to record Eleven Songs. It was launched in early October 2008 with numnerous four and five star reviews.
Luka's latest album, Dreams in America (available on Compass Records), is a refreshing 15-track storytelling opus that highlights two Bloom strengths: his affecting vocals and the immediately identifiable guitar style he's made his own since the late 1970's. He devotes the album to creating vibrant new versions of some of his most notable songs, re-interpreting them to suit the modern day Luka Bloom and the way he now hears them. Dreams in America shows Luka Bloom to have a history that's worth celebrating.

Wild weather to yield better Finger Lakes wines
This year's weather threw several curve balls to New York growers-an early, warm spring, a sudden cold snap in April, and a hot, dry summer. But while some vineyards report a reduced crop, many anticipate that wines made from this season's grapes will be big on flavor.

text: Since its expiration in 2011, the reauthorization of the VAWA has been controversial. Last week the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women Rashida Manjoo [official profile] urged [UN press release; JURIST report] the US Congress to renew the VAWA. In 2011 Manjoo issued a report [text, PDF; JURIST report] which found a continued prevalence of violence against women and discriminatory treatment of women in the US, with a heightened impact on poor, minority and immigrant women. Last year the Republican-led House and the Democratic-controlled Senate both passed versions of the VAWA reauthorization but were unable to reach a compromise [AP report] over the prosecutorial power of tribal courts.

CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER WHO ILLEGALLY REENTERED David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that CARLOS DAVID VANEGAS-GOMEZ, 39, a citizen of Guatemala last residing in Stamford, was sentenced today by Senior United States District Judge Ellen Bree Burns in New Haven to 57 months of imprisonment for illegally reentering the United States following his removal. According to court documents and statements made in court, VANEGAS-GOMEZ entered the United States in October 1992 as a Lawful Permanent Resident. In May 2009, VANEGAS-GOMEZ was deported following a 2005 conviction in Connecticut Superior Court for risk of injury to a minor – illegal sexual contact. The charge related to VANEGAS-GOMEZ's sexual abuse of a 12-year-old girl. Approximately six months after his deportation, VANEGAS-GOMEZ illegally reentered the United States. VANEGAS-GOMEZ was located in Stamford and, on July 19, 2010, he was convicted in the Superior Court at Stamford of failure to register as a sexual offender and his previously imposed state probation was violated. VANEGAS-GOMEZ was sentenced to 25 months of imprisonment and he is currently incarcerated in state custody. On April 7, 2011, VANEGAS-GOMEZ pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful presence in the United States. This matter was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Deborah Slater. | |
