Happy Halloween!!!

Encouraging writing skills: Boys edition
It's a common misconception that boys are better at math and girls are better at writing and language arts. This popular belief, according to developmental psychologists actually has no basis in reality, but is more of a reflection of the beliefs and teaching of society. These days, teachers and parents of girls are often encouraged […]
Not enough room, but an abundance of toys

Writing: Why children's stationery is important
One reason for giving personalized children's stationery is to help motivate children to do their best possible writing. The ability to write well, especially in social settings, is one that is seldom gets enough time to develop fully in schools because of the sheer volume of other information and skills to be mastered. That is a shame […]

NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Oxford American Dictionaries announced today that it chose the verb GIF as its 2012 Word of the Year. According to Oxford Dictionaries Online GIF is defined as:
- GIF, verb; to create a GIF file of (an image or video sequence, especially relating to an event).
"The GIF, a compressed file format for images that can be used to create simple, looping animations, turned 25 this year, but like so many other relics of the 80s, it has never been trendier," notes Katherine Martin, Head of the US Dictionaries Program at Oxford University Press USA. "GIF celebrated a lexical milestone in 2012, gaining traction as a verb, not just a noun. The GIF has evolved from a medium for pop-cultural memes into a tool with serious applications including research and journalism, and its lexical identity is transforming to keep pace."
Indeed, GIFing has had an amazing year in 2012. In January the New York Public Library launched stereogranimator allowing visitors to create GIFs of 40,000+ digitized stereographs from its collection and share them. Then in March Tumblr hit 20 billion blog posts. July saw the 20th anniversary of the first GIF posted on the World Wide Web, a photograph of the band "Les Horribles Cernettes". In August GIFing was perfect medium for sharing scenes from the Summer Olympics in London, especially this coverage of the vault from The Atlantic. Most recently many media outlets were live-GIFing the 2012 presidential debates.
GIF beat out a number of other contenders for Word of the Year (WOTY) this year. A shortlist of other candidates under consideration included:
- Eurogeddon: the potential financial collapse of the Eurozone, envisaged as having catastrophic implications for the region's economic stability [from euro + (arma)geddon]
- Super PAC: a type of independent political action committee which may raise unlimited sums of money from corporations, unions, and individuals but is not permitted to contribute to or coordinate directly with parties or candidates
- Superstorm: an unusually large and destructive storm
- Nomophobia: anxiety caused by being without one's mobile phone
[from no and mo(bile) + phobia]
- Higgs boson: a subatomic particle whose existence is predicted by the theory that unified the weak and electromagnetic interactions
- YOLO: you only live once; typically used as rationale or endorsement for impulsive or irresponsible behavior
- MOOC: massive open online course; a university course offered free of charge via the internet

About the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year (WOTY)
Among their other activities, lexicographers at Oxford University Press track how the vocabulary of the English language is changing from year to year. Every year, a 'Word of the Year' is debated and chosen to reflect the ethos of the year and its lasting potential as a word of cultural significance.
Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year in the US and the UK
In most years, 2012 included, the UK and US dictionary teams choose different Words of the Year. Each country's vocabulary develops in different ways, according to what is happening both culturally and in the news, and as such the Words of the Year are usually different. The 2012 UK WOTY is "omnishambles". For more information on the UK WOTY and shortlist, please contact:
Nicola Burton | [email protected] | 01865 353911 | 07921 882185
Who chooses the Word of the Year?
The selection team is made up of lexicographers and consultants to the dictionary team, along with editorial, marketing, and publicity staff.
When will GIF make its debut in Oxford's dictionaries?
GIF is currently recognized and defined by Oxford Dictionaries Online as a noun. If the verbal use of Gif gains sufficient currency, it will be considered for inclusion in the future. For more information regarding how/when new or shortlisted words might make it into the dictionary check out: how we decide whether a new word should be included in an Oxford Dictionary.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Construction has started on the staging area/morgue that was a part of the Community Development Block Grant in the amount of $3,058,970, in a disaster recovery application following the 2008 tornado and 2010 flood.
When I talked with 911 Director Steve Jones last Thursday he described the new facility as a 50x100 foot structure, which is a 5,000 sq. ft. multiple purpose building. It is located behind the 911 Center next to the Macon County Justice Center on Highway 52 by Pass East in Lafayette.
"The facility is going to have several different parts to it including a maintenance area where equipment can be worked on and minor vehicle problems can be taken care of for the Sheriffs Office," said Director Jones. "There is a wash bay where all the county vehicles can be washed and cleaned by the inmates, who do this work while they are incarcerated in the Macon County Jail.
"A section is set up for the maintenance person at the jail who doesn't have an office anywhere and we found a location for him in the staging area," said Jones. "We also have a storage facility for him to put everything it takes to maintain the justice center along with restrooms."
Director Jones says there are other secured storage sections as well.
"The building will have a 12x12 walk in cooler and this is a temporary morgue area," Director Jones explained. "We are continuing to get more and more people that have moved into our county that have family who live somewhere else and when someone dies there isn't anywhere in the county to hold these individuals."
"If you are out on the scene you have to be able to transport loved ones somewhere they can be held until the proper notification is made. You also have to find out what funeral home or what town they need to be making arrangements to go to."
The 911 Director said the funeral homes don't have anywhere to put them and it is an inconvenience to them. "We have actually had to take bodies to Sumner County and store them until we could find out what to do," he added.
There are a lot of migrant workers in the county and unfortunately when something happens these bodies have to be held anywhere from 12 to 24 hours. "That's what the morgue is, a temporary hold facility, and it is a big part of the building."
Then there is a section that has a large storing facility that will be used as a loading dock where a tractor trailer truck can back up to it and unload. "There are two large 12x12 doors where you can back equipment in and if the Sheriffs Office goes out and picks up something they have to seize and search, they will have a secured location they can put it in now," noted Jones.
"So it is a multiple purpose building that we call a staging area because that's what we are doing, staging for a disaster. During the tornado disaster we had 18 bodies in the EMS bay that had to be processed and luckily we had a gentleman from the state to come up and process them for us. And then we had to get a refrigerated truck to come in and store the bodies until we could get them sent to the appropriate locations."
Construction is underway and Jones said they hope to be in the building by May. "This is a 100% grant and all it is costing the county is the insurance and utilities. "It bid out for $459,400. The building will cost around $500,000 by the time we get it finished and it is equipped," concluded 911 Director Steve Jones.
Lafayette resident Chuck Cowan is dead following a Monday morning, January 13th, single-vehicle wreck in Sumner County.
Mr. Cowan was driving a westbound 1990 silver Toyota pickup truck on Hwy. 31 E at 4:29 a.m. when he veered off the road, struck a drain tile, went airborne, flipped the vehicle and landed on the passenger's side of the truck. He was alone at the time of the wreck, which was in the Sideview Community of Sumner County.
According to the Sumner County Sheriffs Office he was pronounced dead at the scene by the Sumner EMS.
Mr. Cowan was a former member of the Macon County Board of Education, former owner of C & R Enterprises and at the time of his death he worked for a subcontractor of the US Postal Service. Chuck also coached youth sports.
The Sumner County Sheriffs Office investigated the wreck.
Funeral services will be at Anderson and Son Funeral Home, in Lafayette, but were incomplete at press time.
A Macon County Sheriffs Office deputy was injured in a three-vehicle collision at a bad spot near the bottom of the Highway 10 South hill.
The crash happened around 9:30 p.m. on Thursday night, January 2, and the temperature was only 16° outside as emergency personnel rushed to the scene.
Deputy Ashley Tharp, who was driving a white 2010 Dodge patrol car, sustained a broken ankle and was transported to Sumner Regional Hospital in Gallatin, where she underwent surgery and is reported to be back at home.
THP Sgt. Edd Crouch investigated the crash and reconstructed what apparently occurred.
The Trooper stated that 19-year-old Hannah Ruth Borders, of Westmoreland, was driving northbound on Hwy. 10 South in a red 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt along with her teenage passenger, Brooke Ann Madison, also of Westmoreland. "Hannah Borders lost control, spun around and skidded backwards into the southbound lane of travel hitting the deputy's patrol car," said Sgt. Crouch. "The third vehicle was a blue 2001 Dodge Dakota, traveling southbound with 25-year-old Karissa Kay Hesson behind the wheel."
"Karissa Hesson attempted to stop but couldn't," explained Sgt. Crouch, "striking the deputy's car and the red Chevrolet Cobalt."
Crouch also stated that Deputy Tharp got over as far as she could after seeing the red car lose control of the roadway.
According to Crouch, the two young women in the Cobalt were not restrained. They were taken to MCGH were they were treated and released.
Trooper Justin Mote assisted Sgt. Crouch at the scene. Traffic citations are pending.
First responders were the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Macon County Sheriffs Office, Macon County EMS, Macon County Rescue Squad and the Macon County Chronicle.
The Lafayette Police Department has arrested 24-year-old Eric Matias Pacheco, of 702 Courthouse View, for stabbing two people inside an apartment.
On Monday, December 23, Officer Danny Meador received a call that two people who had received stab wounds had been carried to the local hospital.
According to the report filed by Officer Meador, Eric Matias Pacheco entered an apartment at 705 Courthouse View and had an altercation with Adolfo Aguirre, age 19, of Lafayette. At some point, the teenager was stabbed with a knife. Then 21-year-old Carina Valencia was stabbed in the back. Both were transported to Macon County General Hospital.
Officer D. Meador has officially charged Eric Pacheco with two counts of aggravated assault and reckless endangerment. His bond is set at $50,000. A General Sessions Court date is set for Wednesday, Jan. 8.
Only four days after Christmas another serious wreck happened on the infamous Highway 10 South hill hurting a woman driver and two male juvenile passengers.
The accident occurred just before 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, December 29, with THP Trooper Justin Mote investigating.
Trooper Mote said that 51-year-old Connie Harrison, of Hartsville, was traveling northbound in a 1998 Ford Explorer, on Highway 10 South and was driving too fast for the road conditions.
"Harrison failed to maintain the proper lane of travel," said Trooper Mote. "Her vehicle crossed the southbound lane of travel, struck a utility pole, and rolled onto its' side."
Rescue personnel were called to the scene, however Ms. Harrison got out of the vehicle herself. The EMS was able to get one juvenile out and Harrison got the other.
"Ms. Harrison and one young passenger were carried to Macon County General Hospital for treatment," stated Mote. "Due to the weather conditions the helicopter couldn't fly, so the other juvenile was taken for medical care to Vanderbilt Hospital by ground ambulance."
The Highway 10 South hill was closed for a few hours while the North Central Telephone utility pole was replaced.
Charges are pending.
Responding to the scene were the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Macon County Sheriffs Office, Macon County EMS, Lafayette Fire Department, Macon County Rescue and the Macon County Chronicle.

After playing host to thoroughbred racing for 71 years, when it was known as Bowie Race Course, the Bowie Training Center has withstood the test of time over the past quarter century. But many of the trainers, grooms, exercise riders and backstretch employees who work there every day know that invariably the facility is running out of time.
In what has become a common trend within the racing industry, tracks across the country have been reluctant to keep the backstretch stable areas open, and various newer tracks have been built without them. Maryland's two harness racing tracks, Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington and Ocean Downs in Berlin, have already closed their backstretch areas. Owners and trainers ship horses into those tracks on the day they race and then depart after they compete. The 170-acre training center in Bowie gives owners and trainers a place to both stable and train their horses in the same location.
According to the Maryland Department of Legislative Services, the Bowie Training Center employs about 200 people and costs the Maryland Jockey Club roughly $2.5 million annually to operate. Legislation passed in 1992 prevents the training center from being closed as long as Laurel Park conducts live racing. For a time last year, Laurel Park's future as a live racing venue was in doubt, but Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) brokered a deal in late December that created a 146-day schedule for 2011 between Laurel and Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.
The Bowie Training Center currently is home to more than 600 horses and nearly 100 trainers, and both human and equine residents alike would have to find an alternate home if the center were closed. A limited number would move to nearby Laurel Park and others would likely head to the Fair Hill Training Center in Elkton. But some would be forced to leave the state for tracks in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Others might simply sell their horses and find other means of employment.
"The Bowie Training Center situation is a complex issue that will require serious analysis," said Maryland Jockey Club President and CEO Tom Chuckas Jr. "Wherever the horses go, the trainers and grooms are going to follow. Right now there simply is not enough room to relocate everyone at Bowie to Laurel. While operating the Bowie Training Center year-round is somewhat costly, it still is considerably cheaper than the alternative of building new barns at Laurel to accommodate those horses."
Trainer Eddie Gaudet of Upper Marlboro has been a fixture at the Bowie Training Center for 50 years. Last month, for the first time, he had a horse in the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico, the middle jewel in thoroughbred racing's triple crown and the highlight of the racing season in Maryland. Gaudet, 81, his wife, Linda, 55, and their daughter Lacey, 22, are at the barns every morning and at the track until training hours end at 10:30 a.m. Lacey can be seen galloping most of their horses, including Concealed Identity, who finished 10th in the Preakness last month and was second in the $200,000 Pegasus Stakes at Monmouth Park two weekends ago.
"You probably could not ask for a better place to train horses," said Eddie Gaudet, who has 25 horses in training at Bowie. "The track surface here is in excellent condition all year. We probably have days here when we can train and other tracks can't because this track drains so well. We've seen a lot of good horses train here."
Lacey Gaudet went to Holy Trinity in Bowie for four years before being homeschooled through high school. She attended Anne Arundel Community College for one semester, but was lured back to the track where she has worked for her parents since high school.
"I think we all know that it's not going to be here forever," Lacey Gaudet said of the facility. "I'm sure by the time I turn 30 it won't be here. But this is something that I love doing. I've been to a lot of tracks, like Gulfstream Park, Monmouth Park, Philadelphia Park and Aqueduct and none of them are anything like here. It's a great training facility and horses that have trained here have gone all over the country to win major races."
Although Bowie has not played host to live racing since 1985, the finish line is still intact, as are all of the poles that mark the distance from that point on the track to the finish line. The grandstand survived until 2002, then was finally razed. The starting gate remains and is used on a daily basis for schooling young horses. On a typical morning, more than 200 horses will gallop over the track.
"On any given day, we might get 20 to 80 horses coming over to use the gate," said Scott Daniels, who has worked the starting gate at Bowie for nearly 25 years. "Almost every year there's talk about this place closing. But we're a resilient bunch. We've been here for over 20 years and we keep coming back."
Bowie-based trainers still have various vantage points to watch their horses train each morning, but Chris Grove prefers to view the track from a small paved section close to the finish line. Grove arrived at Bowie 10 years ago with only a handful of horses. He now has 60 horses under his care.
"It's quiet here and the track is in great shape," Grove said. "It looks like they could run a whole meet here. People often wonder why they don't run a few days a year here. Maybe at some point they won't decide to keep it open, but they'll have a heck of time clearing all of those barns on the backstretch. That would be an expensive project."
Trainer Kelly Lynn Deiter spent the early part of her career in racing as a jockey, based primarily at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pa. She has been a regular at the Bowie Training Center for 30 years and enjoys the calm and serenity the former track has to offer.
Like most of her counterparts on the Bowie backstretch, Deiter knows that at some point the facility will cease to exist and she will have to relocate to another training facility.
"It's so quiet here," Deiter said. "It's nothing like a lot of the other tracks where I ship to race. You know it's not going to be here forever. It's like a cloud hanging over you. But when the day comes I'll hope to get into Laurel or Fair Hill. Right now I'm close to home, racing at Laurel. But anywhere else you have to ship to Charles Town, Colonial Downs, Philadelphia Park or Penn National. I've always enjoyed being here and I would hate to see it close."

I want to parse a text and categorize the sentences according to their grammatical structure, but I have a very small understanding of NLP so I don't even know where to start.
As far as I have read, I need to parse the text and find out (or tag?) the part-of-speech of every word. Then I search for the verb clause or whatever other defining characteristic I want to use to categorize the sentences.
What I don't know is if there is already some method to do this more easily or if I need to define the grammar rules separately or what.
Any resources on NLP that discuss this would be great. Program examples are welcome as well. I have used NLTK before, but not extensively. Other parsers or languages are OK too!

News in Brief: A State Capitals Roundup
Black Students Affected Most by Ark. Closures, Report Says
Arkansas' policy of consolidating its smallest school districts has caused 47 school closings, mainly in poor and minority communities, according to a new report released by the Rural School and Community Trust, an Arlington, Va., based nonprofit organization that promotes the improvement of rural schools.
The vast majority of the closings occurred when larger school districts annexed smaller ones, rather than when two or more small districts joined together to form a new, larger district, the report found.
The report concluded that more than two-thirds of African-American students in annexed districts saw their schools close during a two year period, more than two times the rate for other students in annexed districts.
The study also found that nearly half the schools that closed after annexation were in the Mississippi Delta region.

Albuquerque Chihuahua to get bionic paw
A local Chihuahua has an unusual Christmas wish this year -- a bionic paw.
KOAT first told its viewers in June about Peggy who was nicknamed "Peg Leg" after she was born without a back foot.
Peggy will soon be getting what is arguably the smallest canine prosthetic in the country.
It's easy to fall in love with the three-pawed cutey, and now her sweet personality and the need for a back paw has won over the hearts of animal researchers. She has been officially accepted into a prestigious research program at North Carolina State University.
"Enthusiasm-wise it's running very high because we like to see Peggy running across the grass with four paws instead of three," said Mary Jewell of Enchantment Chihuahua Rescue.
Researches at NC State are working to develop a mini-size prosthesis that will be similar in size to a human finger.
"Into the future this can transfer into human beings getting really sensitive feelings in their fingers, which of course will help our veterans," Jewell said.
Researchers said Peggy will be the smallest animal in the United States to get a prosthesis. The plan is for the pup to ultimately be fitted with a full bionic paw, which will have electrodes connected to her nerves giving her full motion to run and scratch.
Molds of Peggy's leg have been sent to France and Germany where the bionic paw will be made.
"We are really excited, but we know things like this take time," Jewell said. "We are impressed that the university is not going to settle for an almost-good prosthesis for Peggy."
Although Peggy's stocking may not be filled with a bionic paw, the device is scheduled to arrive soon after Christmas. The NC State program will cover the cost of Peggy's surgery.

Tea Party Activsts To Use Dogs to Protest Mosque, Intimidate Worshipers
The Islamic Center of Temecula, California has been seeking permits to build a mosque for over a year and a half and its proposal is scheduled to come before the Temecula planning commissioners on Aug. 18.
And so Tea Party activists are planning to protest outside of the Islamic Center's existing facility and urging participants to bring dogs in order to intimidate worshipers because "Muslims hate dogs":
An e-mail alert sent to area newspapers last week announced that a one-hour "singing – praying – patriotic rally" will begin at 12:30 p.m. July 30 at the Islamic Center's existing facility. The advisory – sent by a leader of a conservative coalition that has been active with Republican and Tea Party functions – recommended participants "bring your Bibles, flags, signs, dogs and singing voices."
"We will not be submissive," the notice proclaimed. "Our voices are going to be heard!" The alert went on to question what its authors described as Islamic beliefs. It suggested that participants sing during the rally because Muslim "women are forbidden to sing." It suggested that rally participants bring dogs because Muslims "hate dogs."

This lipstick is THE lipstick to have. Everyone needs to at least have experimented with the oh so famous Ruby Woo. It's a matte, medium blue toned red that compliments so many different complexions (MAC NW43). So many people complain about the drying formula which is very understandable but in MAC's defense, it does state on the packaging 'retro matte' and that does indicate what formula you're bound to work with. It's so important to prep yo' lips before wearing this though, it has such a tendency to cling on to the driest and flakiest parts of the lips... I even had friends with Ruby Woo on and was too afraid to mention the very obvious flaky particles on their lips *sigh* ^_^
But if you are willing to go through the hassle... it is 100% worth it, I'm in love with the matte finish, not to mention it lasts all day!

I have to admit this color is frustrating. It looks so nice on lighter skin but the the formula is drying. Luckily you can layer it over a lip balm and it has great staying power. Its a color that I can wear without having to touch it up too often if I wear it over a lip liner as well. I recommend Cherry lip liner to wear with this color. Its a nice blue red and has a classic look to it.

FAVORITE red lipstick! Yes, it is drying, but I do believe that it helps stay a ton longer because of its dryness. I pair this with MAC Cherry lipliner. :) My go-to red lip!

I am in deep love with this lipstick! It is the PERFECT red with a blue undertone. I wouldn't be able to say how many hours I've spent on Google trying to find out the perfect red for a brown skinned girl (MAC matchmaster 9.0) and when I saw Ruby Woo on some girl on YT I could not wait for the next morning so I can run to the MAC store!
It's the 50's kind of red, he pin-up red, the Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth Taylor kind of red. Old and classy Hollywood.
It's not just a red people definitely stare at your lips when you are talking, trying to find out what's so charming about that red!
It's SUPEEEER lasting and has near to zero transfer: kissing, drinking off of a can, on a straw or plastic cup, almost nothing!
I just hate it when people compare Ruby Woo to Russian red, they are so different! And to my surprise, not even one swatch of Ruby Woo is fair to its true color (yup, not even the one from macosmetics.com!) you really have to walk into a MAC store to see for yourself how amazing it is.
Alright, now after all the loving, here's the one thing I HATE: the incredible dryness. You will read on many websites how dry Ruby Woo is and think "It can't be that bad, I can handle it." well you're in for a surprise! It IS that bad! I never had anything that dry on. It is powdery, chalky, Sahara-dry. No matter how moisturized my lips are, they become flaky after an hour or so of wearing Ruby Woo.
We all know that red lipsticks and matte lipsticks are a commitment, you need to prep&prime, moisturize and exfoliate your lips AND THEN maintain the color as you are wearing it. But Ruby Woo takes the whole thing to another level: you will get paranoid, and go check in the mirror every half hour to make sure there's no red flakes on your lips, and I don't know the worse part: seeing them or FEELING the million of dry flakes moving on your lips as you speak.
Even after all that, is it still my absolute favorite red? YES
Is it worth the once in while hassle? YES
This color is a commitment, you gotta have the guts to rock it flawlessly (flake-less-ly too!)
*UPDATE* I found my perfect moisturizing routine! I have been wearing Ruby Woo since 12 hours now and not a SINGLE flake or sing of dryness, awesome! Like me, try a 100% bio shea butter lip balm as an overnight lips mask and then in the morning just put a little bit on before applying the RW. Not too much though so you don't lose the matte effect.

For the perfect pin up lips... My absolute fav !!!!
Hands down, the best of the best red lipstick out there. not to mention RW is Rihanna's favourite red lipstick!!
love everything about this lipstick, it can be drying sometimes but at least for me that's not a big problem. Can't wait for Riri Woo to be released =p
What to say about this cult favorite?
I adore it. Such a beautiful blue toned red. I am absolutely in love with it. It's very very very matte, very. But that's what I love about it. I wear it on itself. Next to Viva Glam 1 this is the best red lipstick EVER.

I'm an NC15 in MAC Studio fix, and have spent the last year on a lipstick kick. I've tried loads of different colours but always end up back at Ruby Woo. It's a classic retro blue-red, so makes your teeth look sparkly white. It is very dry, so make sure you exfoliate and moisturise your lips beforehand or it will show up every flaw. Because it is a matt lipstick it will stay on all night. I use this with MAC Cherry lipliner for an amazing bright retro red colour. I didn't give this full marks because of how drying it is.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Indeed it's a pretty colour but this matte texture is so dry that it doesn't last long so long. If you're not so much about the colour I recommend you try Russian Red ;)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I used to consider revlon's really red as my HG red. A beautiful and classy red but it dried my lips out so badly. When I first got ruby woo I was disgusted with how it dragged across my lips....it is not matte...it is a stick of color that drags painfully. But of course the red held up all day and did not make my lips flake and dry like revlon. It is such a beautiful color and I get so many stares from men and women alike when I wear it. It flatters my yellow toned nc30 skin and I bet will look even better in the winter with my nc25 tone. I layer revlon lip butter in tutti fruity over this and it looks absolutely juicy and a fresh spin on a classic red. Not too cool toned and never turns fuchsia. I'm impressed. It is bold but not crash.

Agnes Heller: A Moralist in the Vortex of History
Agnes Heller is one of the leading thinkers to come out of the tradition of critical theory. Her awesome intellectual range and output includes ethics, philosophical anthropology, political philosophy and a theory of modernity and its culture. Hungarian by birth, she was one of the best known dissident Marxists in central Europe in the 1960's and 1970's. Since her forced immigration she has held visiting lectureships all over the world and has been the Hannah Arendt Professor of Philosophy at the New School in New York for the last twenty years. This introduction to her thought is ideal for all students of philosophy, political theory and sociology. Grumley explores Heller's early work, elaborating her relation to Lukacs and the evolution of her own version of Marxism. He examines the subsequent break with Marxism and the initial development of an alternative radical philosophy. Finally, he explains and assesses her mature reflective post-modernism, a perspective that is both sceptical and utopian, that upholds a critical humanist perspective just as it critiques contemporary democratic culture.

'telling people' (how?) - - after so many losses (& 'only losses' for me)
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 04-20-2011 - 3:39pm
ok, so i have a question... this is something i need to start thinking about, although we will wait as long as we can before 'telling people' for a number of reasons... i'm sure i don't have to explain that in great detail here.
i have told a few people who i knew would have kind, compassionate, loving and optimistic responses. i have been right UNTIL today when i told an old friend / past coworker. she knows about my history and her response was what i 'expect' will be the response we will be most often met with... from (close) friends and family who have witnessed our going through so many (and only) losses over the last 8 years.
- they will think we are crazy (why would we risk it after so many losses AND my age)... truth is, we were trying to avoid pregnancy for these very reasons, but looks like God had other plans. we are embracing them and feeling blessed / grateful, but taking it day by day.
- they will automatically 'assume the worst'... that EVEN THOUGH i have made it past any of my other pregnancies, that CERTAINLY this will be 'like the others'... is this necessary for them to think like this and THEN communicate it... certainly, they won't say that 'directly', but believe me, the indirect communications (beating around the bush) all but communicate these thoughts.
i could elaborate further, but you get the general idea.
here is what i want to know... have you all been in this same place before? if so, how did you handle it / tell people?
if your 'news' was met with a negative / unfavorable response, how then did you respond to THAT.
i want to be able to 'direct' people's responses, basically, if at all possible. i want to set it up / present it where they will FEEL lead to / WANT to provide positive feedback. however, i don't want to present our pregnancy as a 'bed of roses' either, like i am approaching it with a blind naiveness. however, i do want to approach it in a balanced way with the most positive outlook that i can. i want people to share that.
sadly, at this point my fear of dealing with how to tell people (but mainly dealing with their probable responses) are more of a concern to me than anything. i am feeling relatively calm and hopeful about my pregnancy now. i'm just trying to take it day by day and believing God will be with me, regardless.
i would welcome your thoughts / experiences in how to deal with 'telling people'... again, we will wait as long as we can before telling people... how long do you think someone can wait? (;

thanks aubre - actually, the last few pregnancies have been met with silence on the part of close family and friends. after a couple of losses (and no successes) they really don't know how to respond. also, in communicating to these same people about subsequent losses, you could tell they just DREADED hearing it... they wish we had not said a word, it was obvious. there was no real support in helping us grieve. most folks, and even my mother would choose to simply brush it under the rug... IMMEDIATELY.
i find myself in an awkward place. today, when i received the first WEIRD (negative) response from a 'friend' it was then that i thought, yep, this is why we are still not wanting to tell people... EVEN our families. this makes me sad. we may tell them at 14 weeks... or 16...or even 20 if i can manage to hide it for that long.
i'm happy to hear that you have a circle of kind and supportive friends and family with regards to your pregnancies and losses. quite the contrary here, for some odd reason.
knowing that even some of my friends actual responses when i told them of pregnancy #3 or #4 would simply say (in horror) "OH NO!"... pretty nice, huh? so, knowing this, makes me not want to even share the news with most of them, but i will have to at some point.
i have CAREFULLY told the friends that i KNEW would be supportive. so far, all of my choices have been good... until today, but then that just caused me to realize, i will be met with similar reponses from MOST of our friends and family, i fear.
wish it weren't so.
we are both very happy about the surprise pregnancy and are hopeful that we will meet this baby in this lifetime. however, stil, day by day.

not sure how husband's family will react, but i expect it will be more positive than what i'm sure will be my parent's reaction.
my mother said, specifically, & immediately after our 2nd loss "your father and i sure hope that you and husband aren't PLANNING on having any children, because we fear we would have to share in the financial responsibility of taking care of you and your family". wow.
my father makes a good living. my mother has never worked. i have always worked. my husband doesn't make NEAR what my father does. my father was the highest graduate in his class and an engineer... he has had a very successful career. both my husband and i have college degrees. my husband is a hard worker, but not particularly driven to 'advance' his career. i have my own design business as a contractor and am currently doing very well, however, our lifestyle is not what my parents' is. they have a large primary home, a vacation home, sports cars... mom still doesn't work... so hearing her tell me such things make me want to vomit. it is very upsetting to me. she seems SO self-absorbed. these are the reasons (along WITH the previous losses and my age) that the 'news' will be met with disappointment.
interestingly, they have encouraged pregnancy with my sister even though it appears that they are much more fond of my husband than hers... and they encourage her pregnancies simply due to her husband's earning potential, period..... however, he has been out of work for months now after a lay off, and my sister, like my mother, is a full time housewife / mother.
it just stings to have always wanted children, to have experienced such a level of loss, to THEN have parent's wish you never to have children and TELL you so, and for both of us (me / husband) to work so hard (jobs)... for all of this to not be considered. seems so selfish on their part to even SAY something so insensitive to me, also considering the pain of the losses and what i had accepted would be lifetime childlessness. so, interesting dynamics here.
my friends will just feel horrified... for fear that i will 'certainly' face loss YET AGAIN... without even considering this time is already different.
thanks so much for your responses. i appreciate them greatly.

For me, we've had 3 losses (2 in the 1st trimester, and one in the 3rd trimester) and have no children either. I wanted to wait to tell this time until people could tell I was pregnant - which would have likely been like 8 months, I'm a big girl to start and with my last pregnancy, I didn't even have a little belly until 6 months and nothing big until around 8, so I was just going to wait until someone said "are you gaining weight or are you pregnant" But dh had other ideas and outed us on fb very quickly, so everyone knows. The difference is that my friends and family are very supportive, like I said, if I were you or if I were dealing with everything you're dealing with, then I would not say a word to them.

Susan I know what you mean. It that much harder for us AMA because people tend to be rude about it. I had 7m/c between my youngest son (9 3/4yo) and this baby. Very few know of this and most just assumed we were done and did not want more. I got a lot of crap when I announce because people took it as an oooops baby. Many just thought we were crazy to want to start over again if I declared how excited we were. Then there were those that I shared our history with that thought I was crazy for still trying. Plus I got people that were shocked that I had refused all genetic testing on the baby.

thanks for the feedback. the more i think about it, the more i feel content keeping this our little secret. we don't have to worry about others' responses or how to deal with them. it just keeps things SIMPLE and less stressful.
i do feel it is unfortunate that our history, age and other factors (with regards to parents' feelings) are in the mix. just feels so complicated to think about all of that... in not telling others / them, we can keep relatively calm, which is good.
i think i'll be able to hide it for at least another month. i had lost 25 pounds between july and november and had really been working on getting back into shape after years of neglect (stemming from pregnancy-losses depression), so they will think i've just 'fallen off the wagon'... and stopped exercising and eating more. ha ha ha. unfortunately, doctors told me NOT to exercise AT ALL... and NO sex with this pregnancy (so far). so, i do feel a bit more like a 'blob' right now. ick.
my sister does know and has know for a while. she is just EAGER for me to spread the news. too bad. i'm not her. she also has my parent's blessing on having children... i don't. so, she will just have to suck it up and keep the secret with me for as long as i need / want her to.
it has been nice to tell some (few) friends who i know will be supportive and kind. unfortunately, they are not the majority.
i wish people had more compasion / kindness when it comes to responding to this type of thing... with folks like us... but truly, they really just don't have a clue, i've come to believe.
hugs and thanks to you all - susan

I don't even post on this board, but I lurk! I am always over at the TTC over 40 board (I just turned 43). We have one son and have been TTC #2 for a year now (I had our first son at 41). I've been reading your posts and praying for you / rooting for you. I just want to say how happy I am for you that things are going well..you have been through the ringer, to say the least. And I also want to add how criticial it is for you to surround yourself with positive people right now. And if that means hiding it from some, then maybe that's what you need to do for the time being. You just need to surround yourself with people who will lift you up and support you right now!

Ubuntu 8.10 on my Thinkpad T60p - (Part 2 - Cool Effects )
When I restarted the system the usual Compiz graphics would not work at all. The cube you can keep - but I ned those wobbly windows. I restarted the system and chose to boot an older version of the Kernel and found the Compiz graphics were working to an extent, I had the wobbly windows but no Cube effect.
I booted back to the latest kernel. Running "fglrxinfo" in a terminal windows gave the error "BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)".
As usual there are a few websites giving long and complicated solutions to this problem. I just ran EnvyNG on the command line... "envyng -t" and selected the option to "Uninstall the ATI driver", then chose the option to "Install the ATI driver".
After a reboot the "fglrxinfo" gives a more useful output...
john@monza:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI MOBILITY FireGL V5200
OpenGL version string: 2.1.8087 FireGL Release
And now I have the cylinder effect going in conjunction with the cube.
Thanks go to Alberto for EnvyNG yet again.
