Ciate: Flower Manicure
After not painting my nails for 2 months, I figured it would be good to come back with a real whiz-bang! I picked up this kit a month or so ago on a trip to TJMaxx for $9.99. The set retails for $25, and considering it was the only thing I walked out of there with, not a bad price. Ciate is coming out with more and more fun manicure kits like this one, denim, feathers, foil, and neons to name a few! Oh, and with the exception of denim and neons, I have since picked them up for $7.99 at Ross. Go now and get you some.
Albeit a fun manicure to do with some downtime, this really isn't a "practical" manicure. And by not practical I mean it has a texture to it, the flowers definitely stick up as you can see, and irritate the you know what out of me. As gorgeous as it is, if it lasts the night I'll be impressed. Oh, and application took a bit of time too.
After applying the flowers to my left hand- for photographing obvs, I almost removed the manicure entirely. And by almost, I was in the bathroom reaching for cotton balls and remover. Then I decided I had nothing better to do, why not do the other hand and enjoy the manicure, it is absolutely gorgeous after all! I was dreading doing my dominant hand (my right,) but decided to follow the directions this time and use the enclosed nail file to shape the flowers. Omigosh, so much better than trying to trim them shakily with cuticle nippers! The mini polish itself is gooping, streaky, and overall a bad formula. It took 3 coats to get uniform coverage.
Going forward I will definitely use this for accent nails, but will forego the full manicure. Although it's stunning, like I said before, too much work and slightly annoying. As I type this, I'm thinking it would make a BEAUTIFUL pedicure...
You can pick it up full price here for $25, or look for it in Ross or TJMaxx. Here are the others I have since picked up- which should I try next?

BareMinerals: BareSkin
Now that I'm getting older, I'm finding I'm not comfortable in my skin and would like some kind of coverage, light, but strong enough to even out the redness. My sister in law Megan hooked me to Bare Minerals 4-5 years ago, but honestly never finished the products I have. Come to think of it, I should throw them out, I'm sure the shelf life on them is not 5 years...
I then graduated to BB Creams, all the hype 2-3 years back. BB Creams have now accelerated to DD creams, but wasn't enough coverage for my liking. I wanted essentially what BB Creams promised- moisturizer with light coverage, but was totally disappointed each time.
I first saw this in an Ulta catalog, and with my interest piqued, set out to look at some reviews on a few of my favorite beauty blogs. From everything I read and saw, this is exactly what I was looking for. I did ask for help in choosing a shade as well as application, and I HIGHLY recommend you do. I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable when it comes to beauty products, but was close to tears in Ulta trying to figure out the shade I needed. Ok, maybe the tears were due to it being my last day at my job, but it didn't help matters that I couldn't pick a shade!
BareSkin is promoted with an application brush that is not included, which I did purchase. If that is not in your budget, you should be fine applying the foundation with a makeup wedge from the drugstore.
As with the majority of BareMineral's products, less is more. The sales associate who demonstrated and applied the makeup to me advised me to start out with 2 small drops on the brush (after shaking!) Since coming home and adjusting to applying this myself, I have since started using 3 small drops, but I advise starting off with 2.
Here is the before picture- In these photos I only have Aveeno lotion on my face after a shower.
And immediately after:
Pale girls unite! I am wearing shade: 01 Bare Porcelain, the lightest of the shades. The sales associate told me that the 01 and 02 are the most popular shades, if that helps when you go to sample!
Here I am all finished up, ready for dinner and a movie:
Overall I am quite happy with the product and highly recommend it if you're looking for a lighter coverage. It is a little steep, and if I wasn't out on a retail therapy trip, I might not have picked it up. The foundation is $29 and the brush is $28.
Although $60 is a lot for face makeup, I kinda regret all the $$ I invested in BB Creams and other failed products!
Have you tried BareSkin?

Crock Pot: Mississippi Roast
I don't know how you photograph brown meat to make it look blog-sexy or to look like the eye candy we want to see scrolling through our social media, but lets be honest- it's brown and ugly. But oh-so-damn-delicious.
This is a popular recipe I am sure you've seen on Pinterest, but if you have indeed been living under a rock, I may blow your mind. If you're anything like me, red meat and the preparation of red meats, scare the living daylights out of you. I don't know the difference between London broil, chuck, sirloin, yada yada-- I know ground sirloin for burgers, and steaks every now and then to treat my husband. I even had to ask the butcher at the grocery store to point me in the direction of chuck roasts.
As you can tell, I am not a huge red meat fan. It's not that I don't like it, I could just take it or leave it and I prefer chicken. Maybe it's in part to the fact that I fear what I don't know. Well...fear no more. Here is a super easy way to prepare a chuck roast that your families will LOVE!
There are 2 variations of this recipe floating around, one with and one without water added. I personally added water I was wanted to follow Julie from Table for Two's direct recipe, with the idea to cut out some of the fat from the extra butter. When I make this again, I will try the entire stick of bitter and omit the water, for curiosity sake.
Mississippi Roast
Prep Time: 5-10 mins
Cooking Time: 8+ hours
Serves: 8+ People
1 3lb. Chuck Roast
1 Packet of Ranch dressing and seasoning mix
1 Packet of Aus Jus Sauce mix
6 Tbsp. Butter
1/4 cup water
5-6 Pepperoncini
1.) Put chuck roast into crock pot and sprinkle both packets of seasoning on top.
2.) Place 5-6 pepperoncini either on top or on the side of the roast, and pour in the 1/4 cup of water in the side.
3.) Cover and cook on low 8 hours.
4.) When ready to serve, scoop out some of the remaining fat (if desired) and use 2 forks to shred the meat.
Serve with your choice of sides, I served it with a garden salad and mashed potatoes.
Simple, right? It seriously took me less than 5 minutes- I poured cereal into a bowl, made my coffee, and went right back to work! Easy-peasy!
The smells emanating from this dish all day will pretty much drive you crazy- it smells DIVINE. Try working from home all day smelling it, then juicing Mean Green at lunch- torture.
Is this something you would make for your family?

My Favorite Apps: NextIssue
I currently have the $14.99 subscription, but I will be switching back to the $9.99 version at the end of the billing cycle. I have access to People magazine through my sister in law's subscription, so there's no need to pay $5 more a month for it. Ok, I may have also bought the extended subscription to get access to this:
This was a heated article from August 2013 on being childfree, and I was able to download it even though I started Next Issue in January. That's another plus...you can download back issues. Take Time for instance...there is 2 years worth of issues available! Time goes back to January 2012:
Whoa. You can see the full list of magazines here. Oh wait...look what was just added:
This is one of those magazines that is so stinking expensive on the newsstand, which makes me want it oh so much more! And now it's included in my subscription. Yessir!
What I love about it, is the fact that I have a personalized magazine rack available to me anytime, anywhere. Once you add a magazine to your library, and download an issue, you are asked whether you want the next (new) issue to automatically download. Um yeah, it's that's cool.
Overall, this is such an amazing app, service, and investment. I've been gradually canceling my paper subscriptions, and keeping a list of those that aren't available yet to check back on frequently. I hate having stacks of magazines unread in my house, then stacks of read magazines- do you throw them out? Recycle them? It's such a waste of paper! This is the perfect solution to my love of magazines, my cutting back, my budgeting, and my endless pursuit of sustainability.
This isn't a sponsored post, I just LURVE this app! You can join 30 days for free- why not give it a try?
Let me know what you think!

Edgy Chic
I went way out of my comfort zone for this outfit, but I must admit even though I changed to an entirely different outfit before going out, I secretly liked it. This shirt from Lane Bryant is just plain awesome sauce- totally reminiscent of instagram, right down to the square shaped photo and the bokeh.
Those of you that shop at Lane Bryant know that their clothes are quite expensive, so I waited for a sale to pick it up along with an amazing lace shirt coming soon... Pairing it with my zippered pleather jacket, double chain necklace and hipster flats had me feeling a lot younger than I am!
Sorry for the creepy large photo of my foot, but seriously how fab are these shoes?
Tee & Jacket: Lane Bryant | Jeans & Shoes: TJMaxx | Bag: Michael Kors | Sunglasses: Gift
This was a little too edgy for lunch with my in-laws, but definitely an outfit I will wear out to dinner with my husband with the red lips, whether he likes it or not?

Friday Favorites
Gawd. I am so darn sick of winter, aren't you? Of all of my current favorite things, picking up a bunch (or two) or tulips at the beginning of each week has become my #1 favorite thing to do. I picked these up for $4.88 each at Walmart, aren't they just works of art?
That picture is from our Honeymoon in Disney- if you can't tell, hubs is holding a plastic ball and chain, and everytime I look at that picture I get a chuckle. I needed to clear my head from work, so I took a 5 minute breather and cleaned it off. Pretty isn't it?
So far these are all photos from the same day- cut corners much? For Valentine's Day my husband bought me a Gold iPhone 5s, so my collection of cases started off with this one:
Although I continue to pick up nail polish here and there, my newest obsession is lip products. Mainly bold lipsticks. Even if my husband hates them. I love them and recently had to upgrade my storage container, warranting a photo shoot:
I don't know if this was a good idea- unless I use it as a sign, there's only one spot free at this point. #stopbuyinglipstuff.
I can't wait to try out the Julep Luxe Lip and Lip Scrub from the March box- have you tried it yet?

Take Me To The Sea
As you may have already seen, Old Navy is going all out with the nautical theme this year, I had to be quite disciplined to only pick one piece! Some of the pieces are a little much...ropes, sailboats, etc. looked a little over the top for me. And that's definitely saying something considering my love of the water, sailing with my husband, and my love for the beach.
I first saw this sweater a few weeks ago, but refused to buy it after a little disagreement with the sales associate and later manager. You see, there were huge signs all over the store advertising 40% off new spring sweaters and blouses, but the register didn't ring this up as 40% off. So, I showed them the signs (which by the way were in front of jeans, nowhere on the sign did it say jeans...) but they still wouldn't give it to me for the discounted price.
Fast forward to a bad week of work and some retail therapy and a 25% coupon, the B is mine. I LOVE this sweater and received so many compliments when I wore it this weekend! These pants are also from Old Navy, I picked them up last spring and are the most comfortable things EVER. They are definitely nautical in nature due to the navy, wide leg style, and have a fold over waist which make them glorified pajama pants.
What I love about these pictures is the presence of snow in the background. This past weekend it got into the 60's here in VA, so needless to say the snow didn't last long after these pictures Saturday morning! The nautical theme of this outfit made me LONG for summer days at the beach, which is comical considering I was surrounded by snow at the time.
I honestly was a little self conscious about the wide leg pants being a little too much, so after this I changed into black skinny jeans and nude flats to make a quick road trip with my husband.
The gold shoes of course added to the nautical them, they are gold boat shoes...I don't know if it gets anymore nautical than that! I picked them up on Clearance at TJMaxx last summer- they're the perfect substitute for $80+ Sperry Top Siders:
I am still working up the nerve to take my own photographs, it's not as easy as some people make it look. I try to keep it real here, and I'll be completely honest when I tell you taking photographer-grade photos as a beginner completely on your own is HARD. Some bloggers are blessed with photographers as husbands, or best friends who are able to take pictures that look like they are straight off the pages of magazines, but not me.
I did pick up a new lens and I am LOVING it- this was the first attempt at OOTD pics with it and am very happy with it. I will share a post in the near future more about it.

text: 4.5 Better than I expected JimmyDB | 17/09/2012 | See all JimmyDB's reviews (4) I had seen the film in 2D at the cinema - but watched the 3D blu-ray after the discs arrived from play this weekend.I was really surprised by how good the 3D was. I wacthed the film on a 3D projector and it looked like it had been filmed with "proper" 3D cameras - but according to online sources the film was shot in 2D and converted to 3D afterwards.The story itself is enjoyable. Good affects, decent acting - not too cheesy.

When I think about Europe, I picture an odyssey filled with passport stamps, culture and new experiences with the potential to change the person experiencing them. I have a romanticized vision of hopping from country to country, trying to get by on my wits and a little bit of broken German or Spanish. Over the years, I've wrongly applied that perspective to Americans and former Duquesne players who sign contracts to play basketball abroad. Bottom line, they leave home to work not to get drunk in a beer garden, see the sites or scheme on some young women at the playa. What I thought was an exciting globe trotting jaunt is a grind just like any other job except sometimes your boss doesn't speak any English.
I didn't have to exchange too much dialogue with Bill Clark before my imagined experience for an American professional basketball player became somewhat demystified. It's been an up and down road for the 6'5" swing man, but that's not to say he hasn't enjoyed much of his journey so far. After featuring in the Portsmouth Invitational, Clark signed with Fos Ouest Provence in the small city Fos sur Mer on the Southern French coast forty minutes West of Marseilles. The natural landscape and climate in the South of France reminded Clark of his native Los Angeles, but he only stayed for one year. From there he moved on to Selcuk Univeritesi in Konya in Central Anatolia where he helped the team earn promotion to the Turkish top division finishing second in both scoring and rebounding. Clark spoke highly of the fans, city life and culture calling it the most deeply religious city in Turkey, but in spite of his best efforts, he did not get a chance for a return campaign setting up a turbulent third season abroad.
This year began with a return to the French second division, this time for Rouen, a mid sized city downstream from Paris on the Seine. Clark dominated the league in the early going but on a struggling team, no one is safe. He was released because of a disconnect with the coaching staff and found himself briefly plying his trade in Cyprus. The Cypriot league didn't provide enough of a challenge or experience to further his career so he moved once again to MBC Mykolaiv. On January 31, 2014, Clark made his debut in the Ukraine Superleague amid rising political turbulence. On February 21, prime minister Viktor Yanukovych stepped down setting off even more unrest in the polarized nation. Before he arrived, Clark knew little of the conflict brewing in his new home. Of the situation in the Ukraine, Clark noted "[My former agent] kind of blindsided me I when I got out there. I didn't know what to expect until things got worse."
Outside of the political instability, Clark noted the greatest language and cultural barriers in the Ukraine. He does not intend to return and is currently unattached looking for offers from a new club.
Clark's game in Europe is much the same as the one we saw from him at Duquesne except he's been asked to expand his role as a play maker. He's still known for his shooting, versatility and his grit. "A lot of teams pick me up because they know how I am and how I play. Kind of like with a chip on my shoulder and kind of like the bulldog of the team."
"I've played one through four," Clark said on how coaches have used him as a professional but he'd like to find a team where he can focus on his more preferred role on the wing. "Two, three is my natural positions that I enjoy playing."
For Clark, the biggest difference between the college game and the international game is that players rely more on their size and wits than their athleticism. The game moves more slowly in his opinion, but opponents anticipate the play better. "There are a variety of different rules, a variety of different techniques and just the mental aspect. [Professionals] are just so much smarter and you really have to adjust if you want to play."
Clark admits that he's still much the same player. Where he's matured is his improved business savvy and understanding of the game, both on and off the court. Self admitted as somewhat naive when he left Pittsburgh, he came out of college buying whatever agents were selling but quickly learned they didn't always have his best interest in mind. Now, he just wants to work with an agency who looks out for him and not just the bottom line. (Clark is currently represented by Scorers 1st Sports Management)
Turnover is high on European clubs and Clark understands that his job is on the line every time he steps on the court. He also gets that poor team success can land him on the chopping block even if the fault for failure isn't solely his. While he still dreams of playing in the Euroleague or even the NBA, he would prefer to simply find a club where he can find some stability and a solid fit for himself.
"I just want to be somewhere where I'm wanted," Clark said "At the end of the day, no matter where it is. If it's in Asian, if it's in Eastern Europe or Western Europe, you just want to be somewhere where you're in a good situation money wise, team wise, chemistry wise and country wise.
Bill Clark's gotten himself a lot of passport stamps and he's resided in some amazing places some of us only dream of living in. Of course, his European adventure isn't about luxury or taking it easy. It's about finding his path and trying to at least carve out a living while learning just enough of the local tongue to say "how are you" or order something to eat a restaurant. He's had some good experiences and some bad ones, but in the end, he's showing that he really gets what it takes to make whatever comes his way work.

Revlon kissable balm stain is a thousand times better than this product!
This product has no staying power and is greasy! There is no color pay off whatsoever.
Get the Revlon and you'll see that for less money you can really have a better product.
Ive never liked Clinique, should have stuck to my gut,, now I have to waste time and gas to return this.. Fantastic :(
not a huge fan!... aloette one is way better.
this dries my lips out so bad they hurt. colors are pretty, but there is better out there that do what they say and not dry my lips out

I recently picked this up at Sephora.and got it in the colour Chunky Monkey. At first I was really impressed with the colour pay off and how moisturizing it felt on my hand. After trying it when I got home, it was a great disappointment. Despite already applying on a layer of the nivea lipbalm, gliding the chubby stick on my lips was still really dry and difficult.
Nice colour pay off
High gloss
Drying on the lips

Boy am I glad that I tried the dupes to the chubby sticks before this. I would have been turned off from buying my favorite Chubby Stick from Neutrogena in Juicy Peach. Now that I got this one in Volumptous Violet in a complimentary gift set, I can say that the Clinique ones are much WORST.
First off, the prices for the Clinique chubby sticks are really high. The product itself has a wax-like texture that feels like I am applying soy candle wax to my lips. I thought that the Chubby Stick would have a moisturizing and fairly soft formula, NOPE. While it does moisturize my lips, the effect is not longstanding. I have to reapply about every 30 minutes. Really, I am getting tired of reapplying. Going through the tube like crazy.
As for the shade, I thought that it might look Lady Gaga on the lips. Voluptuous Violet comes in a purple tube, probably why they give this shade away in sample sizes. However, on the lips, this color applies super sheer with a glossy purple finish. Given that my eyes are blue, the slight purple tinge brings out the color and looks natural. It looks a bit like I was licking a grape popsicle.
Overall, I will not purchase these in the full size. I will instead go buy more Neutrogena Moisture Colorsticks. Those colors are more vibrant and apply like a dream. Packaging between the two is nearly the same.
I have this in Chunky Cherry and I love the colour. Besides testing out lip glosses, this is probably my first coloured lip product I've used. I've almost hit empty on it and recently decided to venture off elsewhere. The colour is extremely pigmented and it doesn't feel like you have anything on your lips. It is a little bold for my taste which is why I want to test out other lipsticks. It's somewhat moisturizing and it doesn't dry out my lips which are prone to getting chapped. It doesn't enhance any dry patches I have and just a couple swipes does the job. However, I find that I do need to reapply this quite frequently. It only lasts a few hours before it fades. This product lasted me quite a long time, probably over a year and I use this everyday.

I received the Voluptuous Violet chubby stick as part of a Clinique free gift and was a bit perturbed by the dark purple shade, but the colour is very sheer and turns my lips a soft grape-y sort of purple, like I was interrupted eating a grape lollypop. It goes on very nice and smooth and feels very hydrating, though it actually tended to leave my lips slightly drier than they were before I put it on. Your natural lip colour will definitely affect the shade it becomes. I liked it but probably would not buy another one or repurchase as I prefer more pigmented lip products.

The Chubby Stick formula is nice and moisturizing and feels almost weightless on my lips. I chose "10 Bountiful Blush" which turned out to be a sheer brownish pink that disappears into my lips and looks rather blah on me. The packaging is functional and cute, but is rather large for something that contains so little product. For the amount, it is also rather expensive.

I'm a total makeup noob so I really crave easy-to-use products that'll make my dull face pop when I'm looking to impress. This product will satisfy the most novice among us! It'll add a lovely dash of colour and just lift your face. Choosing a suitable colour is no problem because there are a range of superb shades which you can try.
I purchased this product because I love adding colour to my lips, but I find regular lipsticks settle into my dry skin - despite my attempts to exfoliate. This product thankfully avoids that and has great pigementation - which you can layer if you are going for drama!
I have to say however, that the moisturising power of this product is not as great as your everyday lip balm, hence only 4 lippies. However, this product is a great alternative to those of us who have sandpaper for lips but don't want to give up lipsticks!
The product is pretty light weight and portable. I have not had any problems with the cap coming off when it's in my purse. What I do take issue with is that the product doesn't completly retract into the tube, I always have to be careful when removing the lid so I don't break off the top bit.
I love the idea of these butI resisted buying them for a long time and was pretty happy with the Revlon ones. Recently I bought two of these from clinique.com. I love the formula, the color, and the customer service but will not be repurchasing these. The packaging is TERRIBLE. One of them (Mightiest Maraschino) arrived damaged. The customer service representative was fantastic when I called and she sent out a replacement. The replacement is now damaged because the top WILL NOT STAY ON. I like to carry my lip products in a makeup bag in my purse and every couple of days the top comes off and stains everything. I am not carrying these anymore so that means that I am not using them. I will stick to the Revlon ones which seem sturdier to carry around.
More reviews by anachronism227
I have three of these and plan on getting more in the future! I love how they feel on my lips. Sometimes lip balms/lipsticks make me feel like my lips can't breathe, but this one doesn't! I have whoppin watermelon, whole lotta honey and curviest caramel. My favorite of the bunch is definitely whoppin watermelon. It adds a subtle pink to my lips and looks natural. Curviest caramel came off a little pinker than I expected since the container color was brownish. Whole lotta honey was a tad bit too sheer for my liking, but still looks great! I docked a star because I think the colors could be somewhat more pigmented, but I'm definitely satisfied overall because I tend to like more natural lips.
The price is kind of expensive, but I think you get the quality you pay for. High end lipsticks tend to run around the same price as the chubby sticks. Revlon lipbutters definitely come close to quality for less than half the price, but I like the formula and packaging of these chubby sticks more.
I would definitely recommend!

Gatorade removing controversial ingredient following complaints
AP reports: PepsiCo says it is removing a controversial ingredient from Gatorade following customer complaints. A spokeswoman for the company said the move was in the works for the past year and wasn't a response to a recent petition on Change.org.
The petition on Change.org noted that the ingredient, brominated vegetable oil, has been patented as a flame retardant and is banned in Japan and the European Union. PepsiCo's spokeswoman says Gatorade uses the ingredient as an "emulsifier," meaning it distributes flavoring more evenly so that it doesn't collect at the surface. Brominated vegetable oil, or BVO, is still used in other PepsiCo drinks, such as Mountain Dew, she said.

by Jim Motavalli
The home of the not-too-distant future may be connected to the grid, but power is expected to flow in two directions. Energy systems, including solar panels, wind turbines and fuel cells (with battery backup), will make electricity at home, perhaps even more than the house needs. And the car in the garage will be tapped as another source of energy storage, ready to send electricity anywhere it's needed, including to the local utility to help manage loads.
This vision is being pursued most dramatically in Japan, where such companies as Nissan, Toyota, Panasonic and Sharp are presenting startlingly original concepts for how our at-home lives might evolve. Some are going further and planning to enter the marketplace. Meanwhile, American companies such as General Electric [GE is the sponsor of Txchnologist.com—Ed.] are pursuing parallel tracks.
Smart appliances and zero emissions
Panasonic may be known for 3-D televisions in the U.S., but its green side is very apparent on the Japanese market. There, it sells smart air conditioners that can scan the room they're in, count the number of people present and register if they're relaxing or working out, then adjust its cool air output accordingly. A company refrigerator learns its owners' patterns and goes into low-power mode during quiet times.
I was able to tour the Panasonic Eco Ideas House in Tokyo, which achieves zero CO2 emissions by generating electricity with a rooftop five-kilowatt solar panel and a fuel cell running on liquefied natural gas. A five-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack stores energy during the day from the solar panel, for use at night.
Slats in the walls carry in air from beneath the house that is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. It's an affordable answer to home geothermal air-conditioning systems. Appliances, from the refrigerator to the tea maker (it's Japan, after all), are insulated with a thin vacuum layer to improve their efficiency. That's not available at Home Depot yet, but the LED lighting through the Eco Ideas House is—and it consumes a sixth of the energy of incandescents.
The house's fuel cell produces electricity from the hydrogen-rich natural gas supply—a concept that's increasingly practical in the U.S., where the price of natural gas is the lowest in the world. GE, a fuel-cell pioneer that developed systems for the Apollo space missions, explored a home hydrogen unit with partner Plug Power that would have launched in 2001, but its electricity production turned out not to be competitive with that produced by traditional utilities at that time. Today, it might work, and in Japan home-based fuel cells are subsidized with a half-price government subsidy, which brings their cost down to approximately $11,000. More than 5,000 are in homes now.
Government support helps. Korea is also emphasizing zero-emission energy from fuel cells, and has the world's largest hydrogen installations already in place. Capital city Seoul plans to replace a nuclear power plant with 230 megawatts of stationary power.
Cars give back to the grid
Back at the Eco Ideas House, an AC/DC power manager handles the home's diverse energy sources. During my visit, there was an early version of the Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid in the garage, charging on home-brewed electricity. But cars can do more. Nissan is launching its "Leaf to Home" system in Japanese showrooms starting this month. It's a box that looks something like a central air conditioner, but it's a fast car charger with two-way power flow.
The new unit can charge a Leaf in four hours, but it also connects the car's quick-charge port to the grid, using the 24 kilowatt-hours of electricity in the battery pack to provide backup power to the home. Nissan says Leaf to Home can keep the average Japanese household supplied for two days, but Americans have larger houses and use a lot more power, so results would be less here. A standard Prius can also be used for this purpose and might actually last longer—despite a much smaller pack—because the gas engine acts as a generator to keep the batteries charged.
The system costs an affordable $4,800 with government subsidies, but another $3,800 for installation. Nissan and partner Nichicon hope to sell 10,000 units in the first fiscal year.
Toyota is a partner (with Hitachi, Japan Wind and Panasonic) in Japan's Rokkasho Smart Grid Village that was launched two years ago with the hope of commercializing the systems it's testing. The six homes, each with a plug-in Prius, has echoes of Disney's EPCOT. The homes are interconnected and share power. At the heart of the system is Toyota's "Smart Center," which collates data from the household-linked electric vehicle charger to coordinate that large load with the home's own needs. One way it does that is by controlling when the energy-efficient "EcoCute" water heater runs. It's smart-phone enabled, so homeowners can always check on their car's state of charge and power draw.
Major electronics company Sharp is also into eco-houses, and built an energy showcase in Osaka, Japan, in 2011. Thanks to a total makeover involving appliances, lighting and insulation, it's total energy consumption is about two-thirds that of an average home, with an approximately 30 percent electricity savings. A system similar to Toyota's Smart Center monitors charging for the Mitsubishi i electric car that's along for the ride. As in most smart-grid applications, the homeowner gets instant information on each appliance's power consumption. When you shut off lights, you'll see the difference on your phone or computer. Just having that awareness is likely to lead to 15 percent energy savings, says Sharp.
The Osaka house is conventional, but the "Stairs House" in Shimane Prefecture is anything but. In place of a roof is a set of wide stairs designed for outdoor lounging, as the house uses passive heating and cooling to maintain a low energy profile.
Finally, Honda is using solar power to generate hydrogen that can refuel the company's fuel-cell cars, such as the FCX Clarity, that the company plans to commercialize as early as 2015. The home-based station is designed to provide enough hydrogen for 10,000 miles of annual commuting. The system makes hydrogen during the day while the sun is shining and refills the car overnight. No battery backup is needed.
GE has already commercialized a system that uses solar power to recharge electric vehicles. I visited the company's Plainville, CT., installation, which has six charging bays and the capacity to plug in as many as 13 electric vehicles (EV) per day. GE is buying at least 12,000 Chevrolet Volts, and I saw five of them charging at once in Plainville. But GE's solar EV chargers can be scaled down or up for customers.
GE, which makes the WattStation EV charger, is partnering with Urban Green Energy to hook EV chargers to the futuristic Sanya Skypump, an innovative streetlamp with built-in off-grid solar and wind-turbine power generation. The partnership has municipal customers in mind, but GE also envisions a home-based unit that incorporates the wind turbine.
These concepts may sound like science fiction, but the great thing is that they're up and working now. And some are either on the market or are about to be.

A methodology for radical innovation : illustrated by application to a radical civil engineering structure
Van Dyk, Cobus
Date Issued:
Radical, far-beyond-the-norm innovation engages unknown developmental frontiers outside the familiar fields of standardised practice, requiring new and broad perspectives. This implies significant uncertainty during problem solution – the more radical, the greater the uncertainty. No systematic procedures for managing radical innovation exist. Research managers agree that traditional, standardised innovation approaches do not provide sufficient support for managers to cope with the degree of functional uncertainty typical of radical innovations. An efficient approach for delimiting and describing its uncertainties and managing the development process during the radical innovation process is sought. This thesis synthesizes a methodology for radical innovation from Systems Engineering and Management of Technology theory. Its application in a case study illustrates how it facilitates efficient strategic decision-making during radical innovation. Systems Engineering, by its comprehensive perspective, provides a valuable non-intuitive framework from which required radical innovation functionalities and uncertainties are identified, delimited, characterised and developed. Management of Technology concerns the core theory of technology; its perspective on technology provides the radical innovation process with a means of characterising and delimiting status, potential and uncertainty of functional, technological elements in the system. The resulting Radical Innovation Methodology is verified through application to an emerging renewable energy concept, the Solar Chimney Power Plant, which responds to a demand for innovation aimed at sustainable energy generation. The radically tall chimney structure required by the plant, proposed to stand 1,500 meter tall, serves as a fitting case for illustrating the methodology.

Andhra Pradesh legislature rejects Telangana bill
Both houses of the Andhra Pradesh legislature, by a voice vote Thursday, rejected the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill 2013 on creating a separate Telangana state but this may not deter the central government from tabling the bill in parliament next month.
Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh said the resolution would have no impact on the process for formation of Telangana state as the bill was sent to the state legislature only for its views.
Digvijaya Singh, who is incharge of Congress party affairs in Andhra Pradesh, told reporters in New Delhi that the union cabinet would meet and incorporate in the bill any good suggestions made by the state legislature before tabling the bill in parliament.
Amid protests by legislators from Telangana, the presiding officers in the legislative assembly and the council announced that official resolution for rejecting the bill were carried and adjourned the houses sine die.
Speaker N. Manohar announced passing of a resolution moved by Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy. In the council, Chairman A. Chakrapani declared that a resolution moved by Endowments Minister C. Ramachandraiah is carried.
The chief minister, in his resolution, has urged President Pranab Mukherjee not to refer the bill to parliament as it seeks to bifurcate the state without any reason and consensus and in utter disregard to linguistic and cultural homogeneity and economic and administrative viability of both the regions.
"Almost all the members have expressed their views in writing which will form part of official records. Proposals for amendments and expression of views in writing by the members on the clauses numbering 9,072 received from members will also form part of official records," Manohar said amid slogans by members from both Telangana and Seemandhra.
He declared that the official records would be submitted to president as views of the house. Chakrapani made a similar announcement in the council.
However, no voting on the bill was conducted as was demanded many a times by the chief minister and other legislators from Seemandhra.
Interestingly, leaders of both Telangana and Seemandhra interpreted Thursday's developments as their victory.
While Telangana leaders claimed that with the completion of the debate on the bill, a major milestone was achieved in the process for formation of new state, their counterparts from Seemandhra said with the passing of resolutions, the legislature has unanimously rejected the state's bifurcation.
Deputy Chief Minister Damodar Rajanarasimha Thursday said with the bill being sent back to the president, their goal was achieved. "The dream of the people of Telangana will soon become a reality," he said.
Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) chief K. Chandrasekhara Rao exuded confidence that separate Telangana state will come into existence in 15 days.
Finance Minister Anam Ramnarayan Reddy, who is from Seemandhra, said since Telangana legislators opposed division in both the houses, the official resolutions were adopted by voice vote. "The bill has been rejected in tune with the aspirations of the people," he said.
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader P. Keshav hailed the passing of resolutions rejecting the bill. He termed it as a historic development.
The president had referred the bill to the state legislature Dec 12 for its opinion under article 3 of the constitution. The bill was tabled Dec 16 but could not be taken up for debate for several days due to protests by lawmakers from Seemandhra, opposing the state's bifurcation.
The president had originally given time till Jan 23 for the legislature to give its opinion. The state government had sought four more weeks to complete the debate but the president gave one week.
Meanwhile, a shutdown was observed in all 13 districts of Seemandhra Thursday on a call given by the TDP to oppose state's bifurcation.
The shutdown hit the normal life. Shops and business establishments were closed while buses of state owned Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) were off the roads.

Welcome to your Daily NBA Fix for Saturday, March 1, the morning after the Los Angeles Lakers won for just the 11th time since Dec. 1.
Yes, with their 126-122 win over the Sacramento Kings Friday night, the Lakers improved to 11-31 since Dec. 1 and completed a 4-8 February.
It's been a potentially memorable season—for all the wrong reasons—for three of the NBA's bellwether franchises, the Lakers, New York Knicks and Boston Celtics.
The Knicks were on the wrong end of Stephen Curry's third triple-double of the season Friday night as they were clubbed at home by the Golden State Warriors. The completed a dismal 2-11 February for New York, undoing any progress the club had made while winning 10 of 16 in January.
The Celtics were idle and finished February with a 5-6 mark, a major improvement from a disastrous 2-15 January which dropped Boston out of playoff contention.
Ah, yes … the playoffs.
Hollinger's playoff odds—a projection based on playing out the remainder of the season 5,000 to determine probability of outcomes—tell a sobering tale for the Celtics, Knicks and Lakers.
The Knicks, at 21-38, have a 6.3 percent chance of making the postseason based on Hollinger's projections, with the added bonus of potentially qualifying for a lottery pick that would go to Denver.
The Celtics, 20-39, are projected to be clinging to a 1.1 percent chance of making the playoffs.
The Lakers, with the same 20-39 record as Boston, are dead last in the rugged Western Conference and have a 0.0 percent chance of making the postseason. Considering L.A. trails eighth-place Phoenix by 14 ½ games with just 23 games left, the math is not kind.
So how rare would be for Boston, New York and the Lakers to be spectators when the playoffs open in April?
Try unprecedented.
Since the Lakers moved to Los Angeles from Minneapolis in 1960, there has never been a season in which none of these three franchises were in the playoffs.
So, yeah, that's fairly historic.
It was a night basically devoid of drama Friday night—none of the seven games on the slate was decided by three points or less.
But the Daily NBA Fix will still deliver highlights, game capsules, the top and bottom five players, the dreaded Goose Egg, Clean and Sober and Ironman awards, we'll recap who's circling the drain, there will be some interesting pieces of relevant (and not-so-relevant) information and we'll look at today's daily lines for those people who like to wager a buck or two.
Check out the highlights below from the night that was, then get into the game capsules (home teams in CAPS).

text: Nov11 Coco RochaAustraliaMarie ClaireMelbourne Cup Coco Rocha Talks Spring Racing and Model MentoringBy Kate Moffatt for Marie ClaireThe refreshingly humble Coco Rocha takes time out to chat spring racing, model mentoring and those "pinch me" moments from her career.Welcome to Australia, Coco! What is it about Melbourne Cup that you're most looking forward to?Thank you! I'm so excited that the VRC invited me to be one of their international style guests. That's such an honour. For me personally though, as nice as horse racing is, it's all about the fashion! I'm so looking forward to judging the Myer Fashions on The Field awards and just soaking up the atmosphere.You're the queen of the pose: when did you first realise you had this gift?I'm from Canada, so in order to get a visa for the States, I was sent to work in Taipei, and that's how they model there. They do these catalogues with 40-70 photos a day where you just have to keep posing. Sometimes at castings, I'd be posing against another model, so I really thought that was how it was done. Then I came to the States and got an exclusive with photographer Steven Meisel and I think he kind of laughed at me for it (laughs). Since then it's just been my forte, I guess you could say. It's just what I do now. It's funny because sometimes I'm just like, "can I just stand here with the rest of the models?", and they're like, "no, let's see you pose!" (laughs). Read More Permalink

Shazam Movie Gets Neck Snapped by Man of Steel
- Written by Jude Terror on Thursday, December 26 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: Spinoff Online
That's the sound of the hopes and dreams of Shazam fans as the prospect of a movie starring the superhero formerly known as Captain Marvel are broken in half like Zod's neck, both at the hands of the terror known as Superman. According to Peter Segal, who was once attached to direct a Shazam movie, now that Superman is no longer an epic failure like he was after Bryan Singer's borefest, Superman Returns, flopped, there may be no room for another "Superman" in a red suit in the marketplace. According to Segal, the two characters are too similar, and DC will have trouble finding a place for both of them, though we were unaware that Shazam was also a badass, grim and gritty, neck-snapping antihero. If nothing else, at least Mark Waid will be spared the agony of having to yell at a movie screen when Shazam rips the spinal cord out of Black Adam and yells "FATALITY!" in a big screen adaptation.

To Kill a Mockingbird is a timeless book, but until now it's only been in the dated medium of print. However, Harper Lee announced that she is allowing her novel to become an ebook and digital audiobook. "I'm still old-fashioned. I love dusty old books and libraries. I am amazed and humbled that Mockingbird has survived this long. This is Mockingbird for a new generation."
In a Simpsons episode from the late nineties, Lisa Simpson, concerned that her mental skills may be deteriorating, manages to finagle her way onto a local TV news broadcast, where she urges the residents of Springfield to read two books: To Kill a Mockingbird and Harriet the Spy. At first glance, the two novels might not seem to have that much in common, but as Anna Holmes argues in a blog post for The New Yorker, the books share "ideas about the complexity, sophistication, and occasional wickedness of young girls' imaginations." (You could also read our own Garth Risk Hallberg on Malcolm Gladwell and To Kill a Mockingbird.)
The Guardian reports that Harper Lee is suing the local museum in her Alabama hometown. The octogenarian author of To Kill a Mockingbird, who currently resides in an assisted-living facility, claims that the museum is profiting off her fame without providing her due compensation.
Filed in New York District Court, the suit … claims that Pinkus 'engaged in a scheme to dupe Harper Lee, then 80-years-old with declining hearing and eye sight, into assigning her valuable TKAM [To Kill a Mockingbird] copyright to [Pinkus's company] for no consideration,' and then created shell companies and bank accounts to which the book's royalties were funneled.
What Would Atticus Do?
Harper Lee is suing her literary agent over royalties for To Kill A Mockingbird.
I wanted to explore this difference between being the weedy uncertainty of the writing, and the Graceland-like enshrinement of the person. I wanted to get closer to the un-Kardashian obscurity in which Lee wrote, in a cold-water flat, 'hop[ing] for the best and expect[ing] nothing.' Ironically, the way to do this was the embark on a life adventure I affectionately refer to as Stalking Harper Lee.

All the waiting and guessing is finally over, and the Houston Texans are finally on the clock. With that pick, the Texans select Jadeveon Clowney out of South Carolina. Clowney is a beast off of the edge and has the versatility to be able to move back to linebacker. A great pick for the Texans here as they get the chance to bolster up that defense.
The draft has certainly helped the Texans over the past couple of years. They have drafted defensive end J.J. Watt, linebacker Brian Cushing, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and defensive back Kareem Jackson in the first round over the past 5 seasons and all four are still on the roster and have important roles on the team. Clowney is expected to follow this trend, of course.
Last season, the Texans were ranked 23rd in rushing defense and Clowney is expected to increase that rank this season. Clowney had 11.5 tackles for a loss last year at South Carolina and the Texans are hoping for the same type of production. They are going to need it as well, especially with Andrew Luck in their division. Expect Clowney to have a huge impact on the Texans 2014 season and a special congrats to you for being selected number 1 overall.

Can rolling your car get any worse? The correct answer is yes, as this poor soul found out when he rolled his Mazda3 onto its side. Calling a tow truck might be a logical, post-rollover move, but in this case, it kind of made the situation worse.
We don't want to give away just what happened, so you'll need to scroll down and watch the video. A fair warning, though, it does contain a moment of colorful language towards the end, so watching it at work, with the volume up, might not be wise. Have a look below for the full video.

We are celebrating Labor Day in the U. S. today. But that brought to mind this article. Do you realize there are some things that we should NOT labor for? Some things come to us only through the rest that comes with faith.
Originally posted on Healing From Jesus:
by Sandra Conner (Radical About Jesus Ministries)
"Come unto Me all you who labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me. For I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
The Message translation interprets part of this passage as follows: "Come to me. Get away with me, and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me, and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
Are you struggling with "trying" to get healed? Are you "working hard" at it? Have you prayed…

U.S. Offshore Wind Farm Receives $2 Billion From Japanese Banks
Unknown Lamer posted about a year and a half ago | from the moar-power dept.185
kkleiner writes "The Bank of Tokyo has invested $2 billion into Cape Wind, the 130-turbine wind farm that is inching closer to becoming a reality. The project is vying to the first offshore wind farm in the U.S. after a decade-long campaign mired by red tape in order to receive approval. Proposed to be installed in Nantucket Sound, the wind farm is estimated to have a capacity of 468 megawatts."
