Prejudice and Bi-Directional Influences
In my psychology classes we talk about bi-directional influences. For many years it has been understood that a social group will influence the behavior of individuals. Say a kid moves to a new school, and in the school the other kids are unkind to the boy. The boy is more likely to avoid others, maybe even cower in the corner, whatnot. That is one direction of influence.
More recently psychologists have focused on how a person's attributes and behavior can influence their treatment by a group. Now take a boy who tends to habitually avoid and cower, and place him in a new school. Guess what, the other kids are more likely to be unkind towards him. Just as a group influences the individual, so too does an individual influence the group. To some degree.
News about research into prejudice published last summer bore this headline -
Expecting To Be Treated With Prejudice May Be Self-fulfilling Prophecy, Study Suggests
The final graph reads -
"We've always known that stereotyping by dominant groups can negatively impact communications between groups," Inzlicht said. "This study shows it's also important to consider how the expectations and perceptions of marginalized groups can impact relations. Both sides play a crucial role."
That's a dead-on example of bi-directional influence.

The Global Market for Cables, Insulators and Towers Report consists of several sections that provide additional insight into this market and illustrates the meaning and implications of the information in the database. A detailed historical overview discusses the origins of the electrical supply industry, which provides the basis for a discussion of today's market factors and the future of the Cables, Insulators and Towers sector. Our definition of the infrastructure sector is also included, along with illustrations of our annual demand data (forecasted to 2016), charts illustrating country data, intelligence on Cables, Insulators and Towers companies and a description of our methodology.
T&D networks are continuously evolving in both size and nature as they grow in order to cope with ever-rising demand. The cables, towers and insulators sector is seeing a variety of different development paradigms as grids expand worldwide. While developing countries have primarily seen point-to-point radial distribution instead of intermeshed networks, many developing countries have pursued a policy of putting all urban distribution underground. Policy variations like these have knockon effects on other types of equipment.
This NRG Expert report and database allows you to make key business decisions based on our forecasts and analysis of the Electricity T&D Market. Our teams of analysts, backed by the vast data we have collected, have created this industry analysis and forecasted data to 2016.
The database is the main focus of the product and as such contains the important forecast information and current figures. The database consists of 9 individual Region Microsoft® Excel (.xlsx) files.
The Annual Demand tab shows a regional and by-country overview of the annual demand 2011 actual figures and forecasts for 2012-2016 in 2011 United States Dollars (USD) as broken down into the 3 sectors defined by NRG Expert: Cables, Insulators and Towers.
The Capx tab follows a similar format as the Annual Demand tab and shows Capital Expenditure in the Cables, Towers and Insulator sectors by country presenting 2011 actual and 2012-2016 forecast figures in 2011 USD. Also included is the 2011 total T&D Capex figure incorporating all sectors of the T&D Market as defined by NRG Expert.
Each region file contains a breakdown of the Annual Demand and Capex figures of countries of that region followed by individual tabs for each country in the region.

Commenting on tournament: "This continues to be the largest and strongest field in the NCAA," says Vanderbilt Coach John Williamson.

The Nationals want Daniel Hudson plus one of Jordan Danks, Tyler Flowers or Brent Morel for Dunn, a source told Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago. The Nationals offered Dunn for Gordon Beckham, but the White Sox turned the proposal down.
Don't we have to pull the trigger on this? Ship out Flowers(Who seems to be falling off the table anyway) or Danks and use Carlos Torres as the fifth starter?

The world of news is primarily filled with tragedy and ruin. Of death and destruction. A beach-full of beautiful women is as far away as you can get from that. "All of the women here are gorgeous," said one woman.
Miss Texas USA. A beauty pageant where good looks are complemented by the grit and determination that characterize the lone star state. "I broke my toe about a week ago," said Brooke McDaniels. But you won't see any pain on her face, just smiles. "It probably needs another week and a half to recover, but it looks pretty good and I'm in high heels today," she said.
"Oh my God, the sacrifice in getting here," added another contestant. The entry fee is $1,200. Money which Raedelynn Daniel almost couldn't raise. "One of my sponsors had a problem and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to come," she said. But she found a way, because for all of the contestants, underneath the beauty is brains and brawn. Of course, the beauty is abundant.
"Hundreds of women in bikini's, walking around, it's intimidating," said one contestant. "For me?," replied a nervous reporter. "No, for us," she laughed.

Ben Henderson will defend his UFC lightweight title against Strikeforce import Gilbert Melendez this Saturday night (April 20, 2013) in the main event of UFC on FOX 7, which emanates from the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California.
And, since most people don't care what Nostradumbass thinks (sniff), our buddy Spencer Lazara hit the streets to get predictions from some of today's top fighters in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
Here's what they said.
Frank Mir: "Underrated" Henderson by way of amazing performance
Anthony Pettis: Henderson by striking and athleticism
Cub Swanson: Henderson by being solid everywhere
Diego Brandao: Henderson because he's exciting
Anthony Njokuani: Henderson by better wrestling game
Myles Jury: Melendez by upset
Wanderlei Silva: Oh, ah, theese one feefty-feefty
Bobby Green: Melendez because Henderson is not entertaining
There you have it. Sounds like "Smooth" has the pros on his side.
Well, we've heard from them, now let's hear from you. Who wins this weekend's championship fight and why?

BATESVILLE, AR (KAIT) – Paying to power a campus can prove
costly to any school, including Lyon College in Batesville.
That's why Lyon College is now taking steps to reduce its
energy usage and create savings.
Staff members began about two years ago planning ways to do
just that.
The first part of their plan targeted inefficient lighting
on campus and other smaller upgrades.
Crews have now almost finished installing new, more energy
efficient light bulbs in all 4,682 fixtures on campus.
The project has so far taken about six weeks, as the school's
facilities director and his crews have gone from one building to the next
replacing every light bulb.
"Throughout the dorms, we've replaced lamps and ballasts for
desks," Jade Anderson said, "and lamps and ballasts throughout classrooms,
offices, mechanical rooms, hallways – the works."
Anderson and other workers have also added motion sensors to
light switches and ceilings in different areas.
"Offices, some hallways, mechanical rooms, labs, things like
that," he added, "just to help turn off lights when they need to be and keep
them from being on longer than necessary."
Every water faucet has also gotten a new aerator to reduce
flow, a move that is estimated to save the college $50 per fixture per year.
All these upgrades combined carry a price tag of about
$270,000, which is a cost that school officials like Ken Rueter expect to
recoup rather quickly.
"In three to four years, we should have the payback on that
project," Rueter said. "We're looking for savings probably in the order of
about 80,000 [dollars] a year, I believe."
Rueter says to see that amount of savings each year would be
a significant success.
"Those are real dollars that we won't have to be paying in
utility costs that can go into other areas of our operating budget," he said.
Replacing the light bulbs and making other improvements are
the first phase of a long-term plan to reduce energy usage.
The school will next try to identify some additional
projects to hopefully save the campus even more money.

In recent years, Bowdoin College has been fortunate to create positions for a number of postdoctoral teaching fellows. These fellowships are connected to a variety of programs, including the Consortium for Faculty Diversity, endowed positions such as the Doherty postdoctoral fellowships in marine biology, and grant-funded positions, such as the National Science Foundation-funded Mathematics and Climate Research Network position. In 2011-12, we welcomed the first cohort of postdocs in the humanities and humanistic social sciences, funded by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Postdoctoral fellows form an important part of our faculty, allowing Bowdoin to offer exciting new classes in emerging fields or new sub-disciplines, as well as creating important connections to graduate programs and advisors for many of our students contemplating graduate study. The Office of the Dean for Academic Affairs works closely with academic departments and programs to provide support for our postdoctoral fellows by fostering research, mentoring teaching, and helping them prepare for academic employment following their time at Bowdoin.
Dana Byrd, B.A. (Yale), M.A. (Delaware), Ph.D. (Yale), CFD Postdoctoral Fellow in Art History, is a scholar of American art and material culture. Her research engages with questions of place and the role of objects in everyday life. Her book manuscript, "Reconstructions: The Material Culture of the Plantation, 1861-1877," examines the experience of the plantation during the Civil War through the end of Reconstruction. She is presently developing a project that examines the nineteenth-century representations of sociable interiors in three cosmopolitan cities: New Orleans, Paris, and London.
Bing Chen, B.E. (Shandong University), M.E. (Tsinghua University), M.A. (Duke), M.A., M.A., M.B.A., Ph.D. (Michigan), Postdoctoral Fellow in Economics, researches household consumption and asset management, macroeconomics, and financial markets. He will teach financial analysis in the fall semester.
Crystal Hall, B.A. (Cornell), M.A., Ph.D. (Pennsylvania), Postdoctoral Fellow in the Humanities, scholary interests lie in early modern science and literature with a focus on Galileo Galilei. Her current projects investigate research and pedagogy in the digital humanities. Crystal is a member of the College's Digital and Computational Studies Initiative Steering Committee.
Yun Kim, B.A. (Baltimore), M.A., Ph.D. (American), Postdoctoral Fellow in Economics, research projects deal with the macroeconomic implications of household debt. His research investigates the effects of consumption emulation through borrowing on income distribution and economic growth; the interplay of financial deregulation, income distribution, aggregate demand, and the consumption emulation motive to understand the mechanisms of macroeconomic cycles; the implications of different consumption behaviors for macroeconomic stability.
Justin Marks, B.S. (Westmont), M.S., Ph.D. (Colorado State), Postdoctoral Fellow in Mathematics, research interests center on geometic data analysis: utilizing the geometric structure of large data sets via linear algebra methods to aid in classification and clustering tasks. He will be developing means on matrix manifolds and analyzing particular real-world data sets such as hyperspectral imagery of bio-chemical plumes. Justin will teach Math 233: Functions of a Complex Variable during Fall Semester 2013.
Casey Meehan, B.S. (Wisconsin-Madison), M.Ed. (Minnesota-Twin Cities), Ph.D. (Wisconsin-Madison), Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Education, is excited to teach courses that help students think deeply about the processes and goals of education. His scholarly work explores how U.S. high school curricula and teachers conceptualize the topic of global warming. Before coming to Bowdoin, Casey supervised student teachers and taught social studies methods courses at the University of Wisconsin.
Sarah Montross, Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow Museum of Art, curates exhibitions and develops interdisciplinary projects with Bowdoin faculty at the Museum of Art.

Katherine O'Doherty, B.A. (Notre Dame), M.S., Ph.D. (Vanderbilt), Postdoctoral Fellow in Psychology, will teach Infant and Child Development and Introduction to Psychology. Her research examines how young children learn from one-on-one social interaction as compared to indirect social experiences such as overhearing a conversation or watching people on television. Kate is currently conducting a study on how young children learn pro-social skills (e.g., sharing) from television.
Laura Premack, B.A. (Wesleyan), Ed.M. (Harvard), M.A., Ph.D. (North Carolina-Chapel Hill), Andrew W.

The Salem News
---- — To the editor:
In response to the article "Salem council wants to keep health board as is" (Nov. 16, 2012):
The Board of Health needs to streamline our processes to make it easier for businesses to navigate the system and citizens to receive the advocacy they deserve. A "don't fix what isn't broken" attitude is plaguing our city government. If you think it is all working well and that nothing needs to change, then you are not paying attention. This attitude was perpetuated by the City Council when it voted down the request from the Board of Health to reduce in size from seven members to five. To characterize our request as one of convenience to "make a quorum" is shortsighted and irresponsible.
We are a rare board of health that has seven members as a result of a historic merger between the city and a hospital that no longer exists. We need the reduction to five members (most cities have three) to improve efficiency, be more proactive and be more decisive to keep our city healthy. We are a volunteer board that goes unrecognized because what we produce cannot be seen. Every time you eat a restaurant and do NOT get sick, you have our department to thank.
For the last year, we have had excellent leadership under Chairman Dr. Barbara Poremba. With five on the board, we have also been more efficient and effective. We voluntarily lend our expertise to our city department to keep it running smoothly: no politics, no power. I thought we had more authority than, evidently, we do. The City Council expects us to be autonomous, yet we have no control over the number of members or title of our director. If we are just cosmetic, then we should be dissolved and the department can be run within the city like any other. You can't have it both ways.
The City Council decision showed no respect for our recommendation and has suspicious political motives, which I cannot begin to imagine.
To Councilor Joan Lovely: The "If members are having trouble making the meeting, perhaps they should not be on the board" comment was insulting and elitist. It is unrealistic and impractical to ask citizens to choose the volunteer work over our paying jobs or our family commitments. I would ask all city councilors to examine their own attendance records before judging us.
To councilors Siegel, Sargent and Sosnowski: You want more members so we can "think outside the box" and encourage more democracy. I don't see how a volunteer board of experts appointed by the mayor contributes to the democratic process. We did demonstrate democracy when we voted to downsize, and you overruled that act. When we started getting creative with regionalization of services, we were suppressed by this same City Council. You can't have it both ways.
I would like to thank the city councilors who supported us. We need citizens with experience and practical common sense who understand the regulations and the impact on our businesses and the public. If the city councilors know of others who would like to do this, I will be happy to step aside and give someone else a chance to serve.
Larissa Lucas, M.D.

Reader's Choice - February '14 Beauty Hits & Misses!
I've always thought of DrugstorePrincess as a sort of beauty community - slash - online magazine, through which we could learn from one another. In an attempt to get back to my blogging roots, I thought, "what better way than to get my amazing readers to give me some of their thoughts?!" So much of DSP is myself giving you MY thoughts, and to be honest, my thoughts bore me sometimes. YOUR thoughts on the other hand, are exciting and brand new and fascinating to me. So thanks to some really amazing, kind, thoughtful readers of mine (who you will be able to meet later in this post), I have created this treat of a post for you. This Hits and Misses post for February 2014 is filled with YOUR thoughts on some of the hottest, newest, and coolest beauty products of the now… good AND bad! Enjoy, and look for MY Hits and Misses to come later!

October/November 2013 - Beauty Hits and Misses!
Let's try this again! As some of you may have heard, all the DrugstorePrincess social media accounts were hacked sometime in the past two weeks - and although I thought I was posting every day, it turns out that nothing actually made it to publication. Everything is back under my control now, thankfully, and so I wanted to make this post (which had already been long-awaited) a first priority! I hope you enjoy my cold weather and holiday inspired favorites and "not-quites", and have a wonderful season full of joy!

Beauty Hits and Misses - August '13
Here we are in September! I know, I can't believe it either. What a great summer it's been… I've gotten engaged, started planning my wedding, gotten to see a lot of long lost friends, and *recently* gotten an exciting new job (yes, in the beauty industry!) Back-to-School is well underway, and hopefully you all managed to get all of your necessary supplies…. beauty supplies, that is! (If you haven't yet, check out my Back-to-School Beauty series).
I also managed to achieve a personal goal throughout the month of August, which was to not spend ANY money on new products! Yes, believe it or not, I did it (even though I never spend more than $50 a month on cosmetics) and this challenge allowed me to use up a lot of products that have been sitting around here in DSP Central for god knows how long! So here are the ones that I found exceeded my expectations, and also the ones that were just a drag. Enjoy!

March '13 Hits & Misses!
This month I have many more "oh I love it!" products than "ehhh" ones. Because I've had spring fever, I've gone for a much more natural look, focusing on bright, light skin and pastel colors. I think my Hits and Misses might reflect that. Please CLICK THROUGH to see my thoughts on several great beauty items!!

January '13 HITS and MISSES
So far 2013 is treating me nicely! Tons of great beauty products and collections are being released, and most of them have been really pleasing.
This time I'll focus more on reviewing the products I mention, instead of just saying what they are/why I love or hate them. Hopefully this wont get too lengthy!
Here are my (on time, gasp!) Monthly hits and misses - for the first time this year! Click through to see what I think about products like Maybelline's The Rocket mascara, and the Urban Decay Naked Flushed palette!
Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Lipsticks
These are a new collection by Maybelline subletting off of the original ColorSensational lipstick line. These truly are vivid - bright, opaque color that really pops! They are a bit softer than the regular CS lippies - they require almost no pressure when applied and still give great color payoff. The finish is creamy with a slight gloss. However because they are so soft, they do have a tendency to feather and smudge (which can be corrected by blotting slightly between layers and applying a lip liner before hand). The colors themselves are very bright and contain a great varied selection, from pale pinks to plums to bright red. The only real thing that bothers me about these is that they have the typical Maybelline lipstick scent… it's not pretty, and smells almost like clay. It is unfortunate that they aren't just unscented, because then they would be quite marvelous. The packaging is also a negative for me, because all of the tubes are the same color - bright coral - which makes it difficult to quickly find the color you're looking for.
(Left - Brazen Berry; Right - Hot Plum)
Maybelline ColorSensational Vivids Lipstick can be found wherever Maybelline is sold - BUY NOW HERE
CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Liquid Foundation
No, hell isn't freezing over… there really is a Covergirl foundation I like!! If you've been following me for a while, you'll know my deep hatred for Covergirl face products… after using them for most of my teenage years, I'd realized how terrible they were on my skin (and how terrible they looked!) But this is a game-changer. Outlast is a longwear foundation that claims to be a 3-in-1 Primer, Sunscreen and Foundation. Although I wouldn't say it suffices as a primer (it doesn't smooth pores or fine lines), it really has pleasantly surprised me. I'm really impressed.
Outlast Stay Fabulous has medium to full coverage, and dries to a satin matte finish (not completely flat, but still shine-free). It covers moderate imperfections, but still requires a bit of TLC or concealer to cover major blemishes. It can be sheered out to give a more natural looking finish as well. There are 14 shades (that's a lot for a drugstore foundation) and it is easily applied - very smooth and easily blended. Unlike most other Covergirl foundations, it doesn't sit on top of the skin or transfer easily onto clothing (although it doesn't quite set in as well as Revlon Colorstay).
I haven't used it enough yet to say whether it breaks me out or not, but of course this is a factor that differs from person to person. The packaging is great.. a PUMP! which makes it very convenient. It is more expensive than the other CG foundations, at around $10 a pop, but is still quite affordable.
Covergirl Outlast foundation is available wherever CG products are sold - BUY NOW HERE
Physician's Formula Super BB Cream
Finally, a drugstore/Western BB cream that passes the test! This BB cream is actually very close to a REAL BB cream.. it has good coverage, is thick and moisturizing, and has a creamy yet longwearing finish. Because it's from Physician's Formula, I actually somewhat believe it's claims of being good for your skin, because it is hypoallergenic, fragrance free, oil free, and paraben free. Although I don't think it's quite a "miracle cream" as the website claims, but it does cover up moderate imperfections and only requires a bit of powder to set for the majority of the day (about 5 hours).
Unfortunately there are only two shades available (PF never has a good shade selection, unfortunately)… there is Light/Medium and Medium/Dark. So if you're somewhere in the middle, this could certainly work for you.. but if you are very light or very dark, you might be out of luck. I'd say that it is a good choice for most skin types, and since it has SPF 30, it's going to be one of my summer staples for sure!
Physician's Formula Super BB Cream can be found at Walmart, Kmart, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and Ulta - BUY NOW HERE
Ipsy.com Monthly Beauty Subscription
After just a couple of months of being subscribe to Ipsy (formerly MyGlam), I have to say that I am in love. There are so many beauty subscription services out there, but for me, this one takes the cake - for their variety, quality, and value. SERIOUS value! Every month, for $10, you are sent a cute cosmetic bag filled with five beauty products, chosen for you based off of your personal Ipsy profile. These aren't just dinky little perfume samples or tiny pots of a skincare product you'd never use… most of the products Ipsy sends out are full-sized!
In the last two months (December & January) I have gotten a NYX Ultra Pearl Mania eyeshadow pigment, Be A Bombshell Lip Gloss, Mai Couture Highlight Sheets, Mirabella Face & Eye Primer, Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil Liner*, Josie Maran Argan Oil*, Big Sexy Hair Spray & Play Hairspray*, Nailtini nail polish, Pacifica Body Butter, and a SOHO Crease Brush!!! That's a lot of stuff for only $20 spent, and it's a wonderful surprise every month. I always look forward to it!
Items mentioned with a * were sample sized, but good sized samples!
I highly recommend signing yourself up for Ipsy - it's easy, inexpensive, and a fun way to try new beauty products every month. You can register for February's bag on http://Ipsy.com
Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation
Lots of foundations on the hit list this month! This is another one that I wasn't expecting to like nearly as much as I did. Of course I love Revlon foundations, but since this one was a "naked" foundation, I assumed it would be very sheer, and an item I planned on trying for review purposes and then returning.
Yes, this is a light foundation. The coverage it gives is light to medium, and is actually pretty buildable. It covers minor redness and blemishes, and provides a really natural, your-skin-but-better look. The finish is not shiny or greasy, but a very light satin… matte while adding just a bit of sheen that makes you look fresh. The staying power isn't something to write home about, but it lasts much longer than most comparable foundations, and keeps skin looking shine-free when set with a powder.
This foundation provides SPF 20 and is suitable for most skin types, excluding those with extreme dry patches (it doesn't hydrate quite enough). There are a whopping 16 available shades as well!

Maybelline The Rocket Mascara
Yes, there is ANOTHER mascara from Maybelline on the market right now. This one promises 8x bigger, smoother, even, clump-free lashes and… it doesn't! I tried really hard to love this mascara, but I just couldn't. Some people love it, but I just can't enjoy it at all. Here's why.
Like most Maybelline mascaras, when you first use it, the formula is very wet. But this one is VERY wet, to the point that it's almost impossible to apply evenly. I thought that as soon as it started to dry out a bit, it would work much better - but it didn't. In fact, I don't think it lived up to any of those afore-mentioned claims at all.
The brush is really quite cool - it's on the fatter side, which I don't normally like, but the bristles are very fine and short, which you would think would be great for anti-clumping. The packaging is Maybelline's typical tacky tube, with hot pink letters on a navy background. An issue that I really have with this packaging is that a lot of excess product is left on the brush… the plastic bristles are so short and fine that the wiper does not do a good job of doing away with the extra product.
When you apply this, you actually get a lot more length than volume. The formula is very pigmented and sticks to your lashes like tar, but it does not separate and define lashes to create the volume that I expected. I found that because the formula was so wet (and after weeks, still has not dried out a whole lot), your lashes end up sticking together, giving you the spider-lash look. Some people are into that, but I, for one, am not. And when I said that the formula is like tar, I meant it… once your lashes are stuck together, no amount of TLC or combing will separate them. Also, even the washable version is VERY difficult to remove (about as hard as with Covergirl LB 24 Hours).
Overall, I would only recommend this to people who are going for a certain look. I can't stand it for me - not for everyday, for going out, or even just to blend my natural lashes with fake ones… it just does not pass the test. (If you haven't seen it yet, look up the Post of Shame about this mascara!)

Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette
Urban Decay REALLY wants us to get naked, which is why recently they've come out with so many new products in the Naked line! When I heard that there was going to be a cheek palette launch, I was so excited - until I saw the pictures and swatches!
There are three shades in this palette - the largest is a medium-toned bronzer, the smallest a pink toned highlight, and the middle shade is a very pretty, (pretty standard), rosy pink blush. I was just blown away by how… boring it was! The texture of all three shades was actually a lot drier than I anticipated (considering their shadows are so soft), and each color had it's own issues. The bronzer has a slightly satin sheen to it, and although it applies nicely, it is very orange toned… not suitable for cool skin tones, and the color won't build up enough to be noticeable on darker skin. The blush is the driest of all three, and is actually a bit stiff and difficult to apply evenly. Although the color is very pretty and flattering, it can look a little ruddy due to it's patchy application. The highlight is my favorite, but quickly becomes too much - you should only use the tiniest amount.
The whole palette is pretty small, and although it might be nice for travel, I don't think it warrants the high price tag ($30). I also don't agree with Urban Decay's claims that this palette will work for every skin tone, and I find it to be for a very specific complexion. Although they do look nice, I don't think they're worth it!
Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette is available at Sephora, Ulta, and Urban Decay - BUY NOW HERE
OPI Liquid Sand Nail Polishes
These are part of a new Mariah Carey inspired collection by OPI - they are unique because they are a textured matte glitter that can be worn with or without a top coat to create different looks! Initially this whole idea sounded very cool to me, but the effect ended up being pretty disappointing.
They are actually very sheer, and require about three coats to gain full opacity. Although they don't apply too patchy, as you might think, they still look very messy. The glitter is difficult to see through the sandy, bumpy finish, and they really look as if you glued sand to your nails and painted over it. When you apply a clear top coat over top, the matte finish goes away and everything looks smooth, but the glitter is still muted and difficult to see clearly.
I also found that these nail polishes chipped severely.. no just small chips but great big spots. I guess they're just not my thing!
OPI Mariah Carey polishes can be found wherever most OPI products are sold or used. BUY HERE NOW
Tarte BB Tinted 12 Hour Primer
I'm a lover of Tarte, and a skeptic of BB Creams… but this product just confused me in every sense. I know many people like to use their bb creams as primers for foundation, but this doesn't even qualify as a bb cream or primer. I think that the marketing of this is very poor, and it is confusing to many consumers, who either think they're getting a BB cream or a regular foundation primer.
This is a very sheer tinted product that has a very noticeable silicone skip to it when applied. That being said, you only need a small amount to cover your whole face. It is not buildable at all (even though it is supposed to be), but it does seem to cover enlarged pores quite nicely. When I added a foundation over top, it made my face look nice, but I couldn't tell any difference between this "tinted bb primer" and any other silicone-based primer. This didn't help control oil much, and so my makeup did not end up lasting 12 hours, as this product claims. It was a tad emolient, but it would not replace a moisturizer in my opinion. It does have SPF 30, and claims to have anti-aging benefits, but I returned it before I could attest to or against this. This product costs a whopping $34, which is $4 more than my favorite "Clean Slate" primer, which does a better job.
For me, this product was just a miss, but I'm sure that for some of you it could work well.
Tarte products can be found at Sephora, Ulta, Tarte's website or on QVC - BUY HERE NOW
Goody QuikStyle Paddle Hairbrush
I recieved this brush through Influenster's Holiday VoxBox program, and was very excited by the concept. it is a brush that you use on wet hair, which helps absorb excess water to dry while you style! Great idea right?
The secret is that inbetween the regular knobbed bristles, there are microfiber cloth pieces that act like a towel as you brush your hair. They are said to be antimicrobial, to keep them from getting icky, and they actually dry pretty fast so you aren't left with a sopping wet brush for days. Does it work? Yes, I'd have to say that it does make a difference. Although it doesn't dry your hair completely, it does help your hair dry a bit faster.
So why is it in my monthly misses? Because it HURTS! It has nothing to do with the concept, and the microfiber stuff doesn't affect me, but the brush itself is SO HARD, it is actually painful to use. The bristles have no give, and the design is not comfortable on your head. It doesn't necessarily hurt when untangling snarls or anything, but it isn't a really nice brush that I look forward to using. For this reason I never use it on my hair unless it's wet, which makes this a very unnecessary item.
This brush costs $11 and can be found at most drugstores and beauty supply stores that carry Goody.

October '12 HITS and MISSES
Lorac Pro Palette
If you haven't heard the hype about this amazing neutral palette yet, you're definitely out of the loop. There are tons of great neutral palettes out there nowadays (hello, Naked by Urban Decay?) but this one really blows them all out of the park. There are an equal amount of mattes and shimmers (which is obviously a bargain!), with 16 shadows in all. Not only are there your traditional creams, tans, and browns, but also lovely pure black, luscious deep purple, pink, gold and mauve colors. Plus, Lorac shadows are deliciously pigmented and soft… so easy to blend and apply! This palette comes with a mini version of the Lorac Behind the Scenes Eyeshadow Primer, which works great and will last you a very long time! Although there is a bit of fall out with the shimmer shades (there always is), I would say this is a must-have for all of you eyeshadow junkies out there. Oh by the way, it's only $42… in other words, you get 4 more shadows for less money than the coveted Naked Palette. Get one while you can!
ELF Essential Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick
Hallelujah, new ELF products are wonderful! These are dupes of NYX's popular Jumbo Eye Pencils, and these are very comparable with a few improvements! These are very pigmented and creamy. They make great base shadows and also look nice on their own. They are easy to apply (as they're a pencil, you just draw on the color) and blendable. What's really nice about these is that they twist up, unlike their NYX comparables. There are 10 shades to choose from, and they are only $2 each!
Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream
This took away my Eastern BB Cream virginity, and I am absolutely in love. A true BB cream, this Missha version not only provides amazing, natural-looking coverage (that truly covers), but it also contains wonderful skin benefits that help even out your skin's imperfections as well as providing SPF protection. Although the one I received in my September Glossybox was a bit too dark for me, I've found ways to mix it with lighter mediums, and I've been wearing it almost every day. The packaging is spectacular… a large tube with a high quality pump dispenser. It has actually made my skin look clearer and feel softer and smoother. I highly recommend it! It retails at $29 for 50ml.
L'Oreal Clean Definition Telescopic Mascara
I have a true love for L'Oreal mascaras, and this has been my most recent obsession. Although I already have pretty long, full lashes, this exaggerates them to the fullest by lengthening them and defining each individual lash. This mascara creates lashes that look like falsies, because they are clump free and perfectly in line. The brush is thin and allows me to get to the very roots of my lashes (key for making them look as long and full as possible), and the formula is slightly wet, which helps prevent clumping and makes for great layering. The packaging is neat, in that it is designed to actually look like a telescope! At only about $8 it is a great option for all types of lashes, and is definitely comparable to high end mascaras.
Wet n Wild MegaLast Lipstick
I've been raving about these with almost every post, and I don't feel the need to add any more information. They are super pigmented, silky matte, come in tons of colors and are only $2. Yes, that's TWO DOLLARS. Definitely worth the money, and then some.
Suave Dry Shampoo
I've been using dry shampoo for years, and since the very beginning of my obsession with them my favorite brand has been Pssst! - this one now takes the cake. It is a lightweight, sweet smelling dry shampoo that leaves no powdery residue and really soaks up excess oil on my scalp, making those in-between days look like freshly-washed days! It's very affordable and easy to find, and well worth it for those of you who work out, work late, or just need to freshen up any time, anywhere. It costs $3 and can be found at most drugstores.
Revlon Colorstay Eyeshadow Quads
I wish companies would understand the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Revlon has had "Colorstay" eyeshadow for quite a long time, but they keep "revamping" them and changing the consistency… for the worse. Yes, they do last a decent amount of time when applied with eyeshadow primer underneath, but the formula is no longer pigmented and the colors are no longer smooth. The shimmery shades are not shimmery, they are glittery, and the sparkle won't go away; the matte shades are powdery and sheer, not worth it at all. Once upon a time I could recommend these and say they were a bargain, but no longer. At almost $9 per quad, they're much more expensive than any other eyeshadow from the drugstore, and not worth that price. Shame on you, Revlon!
TheBalm Time Balm Foundation
I initially really really loved this foundation, and in a few ways I still do! It provides great coverage that could be buffed in sheerly for a natural, light look, or applied liberally for a flawless complexion. It is a cream compact that works for any skin type and is infused with ingredients that combat aging and protect the skin from environmental factors. It makes your skin look really glowy and radiant, and lasts for most of the day. Unfortunately it transferred onto my clothing really easily, which is a huge no-no for me, and after a month of use I decided that it was making my skin absolutely horrible. Other reviews I've read have claimed that it didn't cause breakouts for most people, but unfortunately for me, I've got to stop using it for a while to help my skin calm down. I actually hit pan on this foundation before I realized that it was this foundation that was making my skin so painful and unsightly! It's really too bad, because otherwise it's lovely. It costs $28 for .75oz.
Schwarzkopf Professionals BC Repair Rescue Shampoo & Conditioner
These are two products I was very excited about testing after I received them in my Influenster VoxBox. Unfortunately these were really disappointing. They did not repair nor rescue my hair; they made my hair feel tangled and dry. The shampoo smelled okay… not like any other shampoo I've ever used. It was a bit sweet but not fruity or vanilla-like. It did a decent job of cleansing, but ended up stripping my hair quite a bit. The conditioner was very liquid-y and did nothing to revive my hair, and did not untangle or nourish it whatsoever. For a product that originally retails for $18 (shampoo) and $21 (conditioner), I was really disappointed.

Lyon manager Remi Garde has admitted his side have not been at their best this year, but is hopeful they can finish the season strongly.
The former champions have struggled for consistency this term but currently find themselves in third position in Ligue 1, battling with Saint Etienne for the final UEFA Champions League place.
Two points is all that separates Lyon in third from their fierce rivals in fourth and Garde admits that the season has not gone as he had planned, but he is focused on maintaining their top-three place by the end of the campaign.
"It is not a secret. Lyon 2013 is not Lyon 2012," he said. "But we are still working
on our objectives. We want to be on the podium at the end of the season.
"We have
to continue in this way and get good result in Nancy."
Lyon know that victory over 16th placed Nancy on Sunday will not only see them maintain their lead over the sides below but also keep them in touch with second-placed Marseille and Garde is determined to bounce back from last week's draw with Saint Etienne.
"We don't have an objective of points," he continued. "We are concentrating on each game.
This game against Nancy is very important.
"We want to get back the points that
we lost last weekend in the derby (against Saint-Etienne).
"This Nancy team have
shown another side in 2013 compared to 2012. It will not be easy but we will
continue with this spirit."
One area of concern for the 47-year-old was the playing surface at Stade Marcel-Picot, which since 2010 has been artificial as opposed to natural grass.
Garde is not a fan of the plastic pitch and believes that the French authorities should make sure all teams play on natural surfaces rather than synthetic to make it fairer on all clubs involved.
"I am not in favour of this type of surface because I think
that football should be played on grass," he added.
"Now, if the rules allow clubs to
install this sort of surface, they can take advantage of it but I think we
should play on the grass and switching grass to a synthetic is not good for

In a video interview, the Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge said it is the hope of the United States Bishops that the just released John Jay Study, Causes and Context of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Catholic Priests in the United States, 1950-2010 will serve as a solid contribution to all of society in how we can work together in stopping the sex abuse of our children, which is so prevalent in our country.
The study, which was released at a news conference in Washington, DC, on May 18, 2011,was commissioned by the United States Bishops. The John Jay Institute for Criminal Justice was selected to conduct the independent investigation, based upon its highly regarded expertise in the level of research that was required.
In the interview, Bishop Burbidge said the Bishops "express our deepest heartfelt regrets and sympathy to any victim of sexual abuse and to re-assure them that we are doing everything possible to stop this horror."
Bishop Burbidge pointed out the study was part of a commitment the Bishops made to the Catholic faithful and the general public in 2002, as they set forth a series of steps to address the crisis. The Bishop expressed his gratitude to the faithful in the Diocese who have been "wonderful" in their support of our priests during this difficult period. "It's hard on our clergy," Bishop Burbidge explained, "as some in society will look at them in a certain way, with suspicion. Anything our faithful can do to continue to support and encourage them, I'll be grateful for that."

Mae Biography
Source: http://whatismae.com/bio.html
Capitol Records
Dave Elkins–singer/guitar | Jacob Marshall–drums | Zach Gehring–guitar | Mark Padgett–bass | Rob Sweitzer–keyboard
We've all had that moment.
Maybe it comes after a long day of work, or during your trying commute home. You turn on the radio and, at first, nothing grabs you. But then, a song emerges that can make everything stand still. It could be "Today" by the Smashing Pumpkins or "Where The Streets Have No Name" by U2. But whatever the case, as the music kicks in and the guitars lurch forward, you have that moment. The one when the hairs on your arm stand at full attention and it feels as if you have no other choice but to crank up the volume a bit.
As longtime music aficionados, the members of the modern rock troop Mae have come to know this moment well. "For us, that's what music is about," says singer–guitarist Dave Elkins, who formed the band with drummer Jacob Marshall, and is now joined by guitarist Zach Gehring, bassist Mark Padgett and keyboardist Rob Sweitzer. "I remember listening to Matthew Sweet on my Walkman as a kid and feeling like I was on cloud nine. That's what we want to do for other people. We want to write songs that people connect to."
Though it would take some serious arm–twisting in order for them to admit it, for the past six years, that's exactly what Elkins and his band mates have done. In that relatively brief amount of time, the Virginia Beach–based five–piece have developed a unique and affecting sound that, with albums like 2003's 'Destination: Beautiful' and 2005's 'The Everglow', has scored them a rather sizeable following around the world.
Granted, throughout the disc, Elkins and his band mates still churn out the kind of soaring ballads that made their first two records such fan favorites. But 'Singularity' is a far more rocking affair, as evidenced by its first single, "Sometimes I Can't Make It Alone," a brawny blast that recalls some of the seminal alternative groups that the members of Mae grew up listening to. "We've always loved bands like Pearl Jam, U2 and the Smashing Pumpkins and on this record we wanted to tap into that," Marshall says. "We weren't trying to recreate a '90s record, per se, but we definitely wanted it to have that same energy."
That particular shift can be heard on "Telescopes," an instantly memorable track that features a grungy guitar line that wouldn't have sounded out of place on an early Soundgarden album, as well as "Sic Semper Tyrannis," a revved up punk tune that will surely soundtrack a few drives to next summer's Warped Tour. Yet, where Singularity contains some of the most energetic and aggressive music that Mae have recorded, it's also an incredibly thought–provoking album, filled with the kind of questions that many ask when trying to seek out their place in the world.
The title 'Singularity', in fact, came out of many heavy discussions that the members of the band had while writing. "There was a book that Rob and I were reading," Marshall recalls, "and in it, the author used the term 'singularity.' That was the first time I ever heard it, but he described it very eloquently as 'the ultimate unknowable in science... the interface between the natural and the supernatural.' We realized through those conversations that there is so much more for us to learn and to understand and these ideas inspired us to question everything."
Indeed, throughout 'Singularity', the members of Mae may get into some rather heady material, but more than anything, this is an album that aims to connect with its listeners and maybe even encourage them to crank up the volume just a bit. "That's all we were looking to do with this band," Elkins says in closing. "We're not worried about being considered an 'emo band' or an 'indie band.' We're just a rock band, and we're happy to be given the chance to get our music out there to all of these different people."

You know those days in the pool when you just feel like a rock? Yep, that was me yesterday! I finished what I needed to though! I did a 200M back to warm up, then did 3 400M freestyle strokes which was super difficult for me! I did the first 100M going fairly slow, then 200M at a moderate speed, and the last 100M fast. It was pretty rough! I finished with 3 50s, all out sprint, which was a blast!!! I love sprinting. I feel so powerful and like I am flying. I timed the last set and went 37, 35 and 34 seconds each, so I got faster as the set went on! CheersJ My boyfriend, who swam for the University of Missouri in college, says that getting faster during the set is called descending. So I guess I was descending that set! I can feel myself getting back into swimming shape! Whoot! I finished with a 150M backstroke warm down. All in all, another good workout!

A Pickens County man was sentenced Monday to almost 18 years in prison by a jury on first-degree burglary charge.
Solicitor Walt Wilkins said Karl Lane, 23, of Six Mile, was convicted by a jury and sentenced to 215 months in prison.
Prosecutors presented evidence that showed Lane entered a Liberty residence on April 21, 2011 and stole some of the victim's firearms from a gun safe. They said some of the weapons were family heirlooms used in World War I and II.
A neighbor saw the suspect's vehicle in the driveway and deputies said Lane dropped his application card for unemployment benefits inside the victim's car, according to Wilkins.
Deputies said they were able to trace the card to Lane's address and he told them that he not only drove the vehicle the day of the incident, but that he had also been by the unemployment office the same day.
Prosecutors said Lane will have to serve 85 percent of his sentence before he is eligible for parole.

Patchogue, NY – April 7, 2010 – St. Joseph's College and the Long Island Leisure Services Association (LILSA), in conjunction with the Therapeutic Recreation Association of Long Island (TRALI) and the Therapeutic Recreation Association of Suffolk County (TRASC), will present "Bridging the Gap," a conference on effectively combining therapeutic recreation and leisure services management in the current heath care system on Friday, April 16, 2010, at 8 a.m. in the McGann Conference Center on the College's Long Island Campus.
"Bridging the Gap" was designed to bring students and professionals in the community and therapeutic recreation fields together to collaborate on ideas, network and participate in relevant workshops.

Registrants will receive continuing education units for their participation in the program.
Eight workshops will be held throughout the conference, concluding with a panel discussion entitled, "Your Future in Recreation: How to lay the groundwork for a successful career."
"This conference will provide the foundation necessary in bridging the gap between both therapeutic recreation and leisure services management," said Chairperson of the Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies at SJC Gail Lamberta, Ph.D. "As the health care movement continues to move toward deinstitutionalization, both therapeutic recreation and leisure services management professionals must work closer together in order to provide the best programs to both meet the needs and improve upon the quality of life for all persons."

Wildfire mission delayed...again
The inaugural launch of a system to map wildfire movement in real time has been postponed...again.
The joint mission between NASA and U.S. Forest Service has been rescheduled (for the second time) until Sept. 12 due in part to a lack of approval from the Federal Aviation Administration, according to Vincent Ambrosia, the principal investigator of the Western States Unmanned Aerial System Fire Mission at NASA's Ames Research Center. FAA approval is required because the system includes the use of the unmanned Altair aircraft.
"Due to some 'open issues' on mission profiling and delays in receiving the COA (Certificate of Authorization) from FAA, we have delayed the planned launch of the Altair on the Western States UAS Fire Mission," Ambrosia said in an e-mail.
FAA approval has been an issue for the project because of understandable heightened aviation security due to terrorist concerns, according to Ambrosia.
"Although this is frustrating, the entire team sees these issues as important steps in showcasing innovative uses of UASs (unmanned Aerial Systems) in the NAS (NASA Advanced Supercomputing), and is prepared to fulfill the mission objectives with the FAA this year, facilitating science missions during the mid-summer of 2007 over wildfires," he said.
The project, once it launches, would provide real-time data, imagery and maps of wildfire movement to select groups of U.S. Forest Service firefighters on the ground.

Okay guys, this match up was brought up last night on the radio show, and immediately struck interest. Chavez has done an okay job with the guys that have been put in front, but Pavlik is still a live dog that could possibly catapult his career.
As we all know, Pavlik has had his issues in the past, but does he still have what it takes to beat Chavez? His last outing against Lopez (almost a year ago) was okay, but Lopez was landing some of his shots. Last weekend, Lopez nearly got scrubbed by a guy who was 3-5-1, so that's somewhat telling.
Think Arum will let this happen, being the fact that he was well on his to screwing Pavlik out of some serious money before he pulled out of his last bout?

The 28-year-old Johnson averaged 6.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in 56 games. He led the team by making 51.3% of his shots from the field and ranked fourth in rebounds.
The 6-foot-8, 255-pound Johnson was the NBA's rookie of the month for April.
General manager Danny Ferry announced Johnson's new deal on Tuesday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
