Illinois State Police (ISP) Director Larry G. Trent proudly announced today that the ISP Crime Scene Services Command (CSSC) has become the first stand-alone crime scene unit in the U.S. to receive accreditation from Forensic Quality Services – International (FQS-I). The accreditation was attained by complying with International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards. The FQS-I is the country's oldest established provider of ISO accreditation to forensic testing agencies in the Nation. "This accreditation reflects the talent and commitment of Illinois State Police crime scene personnel, both past and present," said Director Trent. "Being recognized as the first stand-alone crime scene unit to receive ISO accreditation is a significant accomplishment, and I am immensely proud of those whose perseverance made it possible to achieve this illustrious distinction."
The CSSC began the arduous task of accreditation more than a year ago – a process that included a review of policies, procedures, training material, and quality assurance documents. Accreditation means that an agency's policies conform to a rigorous set of standards, and the agency can prove its procedures conform to those policies. Police agencies, State's Attorneys, jurors, and crime victims alike can count on ISP Crime Scene Investigators to process evidence in a manner consistent with carefully developed, internationally-vetted criteria. This means those who rely upon ISP Crime Scene Services are assured of a response that withstands scrutiny where it counts most – in court.
FQS-I Manager of Accreditations, Ms. Patricia Wojtowicz, stated, "The quality of crime scene processing activities is one of the most critical components in obtaining reliable scientific analysis of evidence. The ISP is to be commended for recognizing the importance of using international best practice as the basis for its policies, procedures, and practices. The ISP CSSC is a pioneer in the accreditation of stand-alone crime scene units and has now raised the bar for other crime scene processing practitioners in the U.S."
There are 61 CSSC employees assigned to offices throughout the state. In addition to crime scene processing, CSSC personnel perform a variety of tasks such as photographic imaging, two-dimensional and three-dimensional diagrams, and animations of crash and crime scenes. There are also specialty functions within the unique field of crime scene processing, such as bloodstain pattern interpretation, forensic art, and facial reconstruction.
Concluded Trent, "From death investigations to burglaries, our adherence to the procedures and protocols required for accreditation ensure that the agencies who seek our assistance receive the highest quality services to help them solve crimes, aid victims, and successfully prosecute cases in court."

Making HTML5 Come Alive with the Canvas API
The last five years of my career have been devoted to Silverlight. I began working with it long before version 1.0 was released, and with Silverlight 5 on the horizon, I'm even more excited about it today than I was then. The fact that you can write phone apps with it is icing on the cake and the number one reason I'm bullish about Silverlight's future and about the long-term prospects for Windows phones. I am honored and privileged to teach Silverlight and Silverlight for Windows Phone to Microsoft developers on campuses around the world, and every time I step into the classroom, I'm as excited and enthused as I was the very first time I pulled up a PowerPoint and said "Let me tell you how Silverlight is going to change your life."
But while I was immersed in Silverlight, a funny thing happened: HTML5 came on like gangbusters. Microsoft and Apple execs seem to think HTML5 is the greatest thing since sliced bread. If you know me, you know how I feel about HTML and JavaScript. They're fine for applets and Web pages, but building enterprise applications with them is another matter altogether. I'll take C# any day over scripting languages. I like to be able to compile my code and make sure there are no syntax errors. I like to be able to test it and step through it in a debugger. JavaScript dev tools have come a long way in recent years, but they're still a far cry from what you get out of the box with Visual Studio and C#.
HTML5 seems destined to play a huge role in the lives of software developers. It won't be used just to build Web pages; it'll be used to build browser-based applications, phone applications, applications for iPads and other slate devices, and yes, even enterprise applications. So I decided it's time to dive in. Silverlight will still be my primary focus for the foreseeable future, but HTML5 will have a strong secondary focus. I'm scheduled to deliver my first HTML5 class on Microsoft's Redmond campus in early April. I'm writing that course right now and am generally having a fun time doing it. Soon, it'll be available to the public as well. And when people ask me how HTML5 compares to Silverlight, I'll be able to offer a knowledgeable apples-to-apples assessment.
The feature of HTML5 that I find the most interesting and compelling is the canvas API. After all these years, developers are finally able to draw into a browser window without help from plug-ins. HTML5's canvas API is reasonably well thought-out, and it even includes an equivalent to Silverlight's WriteableBitmap, which allows apps to generate images on the fly and manipulate pixels destined for the frame buffer.
<canvas id="output" width="400" height="400" />
// JavaScript
var canvas = document.getElementById("output");
var dc = canvas.getContext("2d");
dc.fillStyle = "red";
dc.fillRect(100, 50, 200, 100);
Of course, you can do much more than draw rectangles. You can draw lines, arcs, paths, text, images, and more. You can draw drop shadows, use alpha values, and apply transforms that are similar to the transforms you may be familiar with in XAML. You can perform pixel manipulations on what you've drawn, and you can use Boolean operators to composite shapes. In short, the canvas API is a rich one that opens the door to all kinds of interesting new HTML-only applications. And in the future, HTML will likely support 3D drawing operations as well as 2D operations. Imagine doing real 3D in the browser without any plug-ins!
To demonstrate key facets of the canvas API, I built a couple of samples and posted them on Wintellect's Web site. The first is an HTML5 port of the venerable Visual C++ Scribble application from years ago:
Use the left mouse button to draw, or double-click the chalkboard to clear it and start another masterpiece. If you'd like to try it out, point your favorite HTML5 browser such as IE9, Chrome, or Firefox 4.0 to http://www.wintellect.com/html5/scribble.html. I won't reprint the source code here because you can see it for yourself with View Source. If you do, you'll see that there's not a whole lot to it. I used jQuery to handle mouse events because I didn't want to have to write a boatload of code to make mouse handling work consistently in different browsers. And I used the little trick of assigning a value to a canvas's width or height property to reset the canvas and erase everything in it.
The second example is an HTML5 Mandelbrot-set viewer. Here it is in Chrome:
It works in all three browsers, too, but IE9 doesn't display the rectangular cursor used for zooming. If you run this app in IE9, you'll have to imagine that the cursor points to the upper-left corner of a 100-by-100-pixel selection rectangle. The region inside the rectangle is what you'll zoom into if you click.
The app is posted at http://www.wintellect.com/html5/mandelbrot.html. Once more, View Source is all that's required to reveal the magic. This time I'm using HTML5's createImageData and putImageData methods to generate bitmaps on the fly and display them in the browser.
Look for more blog posts in the future about HTML5 and how to leverage its most compelling new features.
Update: When I originally posted this article, I said that the sample apps don't work in IE9. Turns out that was because I didn't include the simplified HTML5 DOCTYPE element at the top of the files. Chrome and Firefox didn't care, but IE9 cared greatly. The lesson is simple: when you author HTML5 pages, be sure to start them off with <!DOCTYPE html>.

Just curious if you could expand on why it doesn't work in IE9. What support is the RC missing in order to make these work?
Just seems like they've done so much work on it that it's a shame that it doesn't work for such trivial (not to downplay your work, but they are fairly simple ideas) examples.

It would be interesting to know the render time of the Mandelbrot app using Silverlight with a shader to perform the pixel manipulation.
jprosise • February 23, 2011 6:11 PM
A Silverlight pixel shader would be slow because shaders aren't GPU-accelerated, but I have a Silverlight version of the Mandelbrot app that uses WriteableBitmap. I'll try to do some benchmarks because the speed of Firefox really surprised me.
RE: IE9. Turns out that if you include the DOCTYPE element, IE9 runs the apps. But adding it breaks other things. I'm working on resolving the incompatibilities so the apps will work on all three platforms. Update soon.
Joe • February 23, 2011 11:25 PM
Sorry, I find it hard to get excited about imperative graphics programming again. Where's the Microsoft HTML5 framework to make all this useful?
brad • February 24, 2011 5:16 AM
That is all well and good, just remember how much faster that fractal render is in software. It is almost 2 full orders of magnitude faster as a native implementation. HTML5 would have been cool... 5 years ago.
jprosise • February 24, 2011 7:23 AM
> HTML5 would have been cool... 5 years ago.
Funny...I've said the same thing before, but quoted 10 years instead of 5. :-)
> just remember how much faster that fractal render is in [native code]
Agreed. I was (and still am) skeptical about doing this kind of thing in JavaScript. Firefox blew me away, though. It appears to be about one order of magnitude faster than IE9.
Scott Seely • February 24, 2011 7:44 AM
Jeff- This is running in IE9 for me. 9.0.8080.16413, running in 32 bits on Win7.
jprosise • February 24, 2011 10:24 AM
Scott, it's now running in IE9 since I added the DOCTYPE element I didn't include the first time around.
Try it in Firefox 4.0 Beta 11. The performance is amazing!
David Easton • February 25, 2011 7:00 AM
It is very speedy in Opera (11.01) too.

What Ide does eveyrone use to debug this code, ie step through it line by line to inspect values etc?
jprosise • April 21, 2011 3:55 PM
Yes, pretty much. Newer browsers make it relatively easy. In IE9, for example, press F12 to get a great debugging console. For Firefox, use Firebug.
Jaa • April 22, 2011 7:13 AM
In that case, I have another question...
If you write some super-fantastic code, what is stopping someone else pressing F12 in IE9 and pinching it?

The Triple Door, Seattle's swanky supper club, celebrates its 5th anniversary
The Triple Door, one of Seattle's premier music venues, celebrates its fifth anniversary Oct. 2-3 with a concert by blues legend Robert Cray.
Special to The Seattle Times
Triple Door Fifth Anniversary Spectacular with Robert Cray8 p.m. Thursday and Friday at the Triple Door, 216 Union St., Seattle; $80 in advance, $100 day of show (206-838-4333 or www.tripledoor.net).
The Bay Area has Yoshi's. In Portland, it's Jimmy Mak's. Seattle's upscale, sit-down, dine-in concert venue is the Triple Door, and it's not bragging to say it's the best of the bunch, and this week marks its fifth anniversary.
Historically speaking, swanky supper clubs are a remnant of America's Jazz Age in the 1920s. Today's versions exist somewhere between beer-in-hand nightclub and suit-and-tie concert hall: Luxury and sound quality are paramount, but you can enjoy a cocktail and an hors d'oeuvre at your table while watching the show. They continue to thrive because music — not just jazz — benefits from a setting in which appreciating excellent music comes first and appreciating excellent food and drink is a close second. Humans are really very simple animals.
With gilded colonnades and sconces left over from its 1920s vaudevillian heyday, plush half-moon booth-seating illuminated by individual electric candles, and a stage backdrop lit by a field of stars, the Triple Door retains a sophisticated ambience. Add some of the best acoustics and sightlines in the city and you have a venue approaching world-class. Then there's the menu, cribbed liberally from Wild Ginger, the 19-year-old Asian fusion restaurant next door owned by the same people. In fact, the well-known Wild Ginger enabled the Triple Door's very existence, financially supporting the club until it finally turned a profit last year.
But even with all that what really sets the Triple Door apart is its adventurous programming.
The past year, the place has hosted San Francisco digital magicians Matmos; U.K. dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson; a sweat-drenched dance party with the Congo's Konono Nº1; and an emotional album-release party for local rockers Grand Archives. Wednesday, pop guru Todd Rundgren will play his second Triple Door gig in three months. In June, Seattle International Film Festival screened the 1927 silent film "Sunrise," soundtracked by sonic landscapers the Album Leaf; last week, Decibel Festival brought its first-ever "ambient showcase" to the Triple Door.
Then there's jazz: icons like the Headhunters, Marcus Miller and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band; young lions like Skerik, Marco Benevento and Industrial Revelation. And for 10 days every fall, Seattle's annual Earshot Jazz Festival makes the Triple Door its home base. (Earshot is coming up Oct. 18-Nov. 9.)
That panoply of events reflects not just a venue coming into its own but a venue boldly doing its own thing.
"What we've always tried to do is attract a wide audience," said Rick Yoder, who, along with wife Ann, owns the Triple Door.
"I didn't want to say we're exclusively a jazz club or a blues club or a Latin club. We do great music. Trust us. Sort of like a menu — if you go to a restaurant you like and you try the chicken one time, next time you might try the fish. After a while if that restaurant continues to hold up, you may frequent it fairly often, because no matter what you eat it tastes pretty good."
The Yoders own the 50,000-square foot Mann Building that houses Wild Ginger and the Triple Door. (Over its 85-year history, the space has been the Embassy silent-movie theater, a porn palace and, when it sat empty for a while, an ad-hoc parking garage.) According to Triple Door talent buyer Scott Giampino, the bottom line is split roughly 70-30, 70 percent from Wild Ginger and 30 from the Triple Door.
On a recent weekday afternoon, Yoder and Giampino sat at a high table inside the Musicquarium, the Triple Door's 150-seat lounge. Each couldn't have been more gracious — or more confident — when extolling the other's track record. Within the main venue, L.A. rock band Shiny Toy Guns played an acoustic set for radio station 107.7 The End. About 40 people were in attendance — well below that room's 272 capacity.
"When we first opened, we thought being small was an advantage because it didn't take a huge number of people to make the economic cycle go," Yoder said. "If we have 200 or 250 in the audience, we're really happy."
Size matters both ways, though. It's taken a few years to convince artists and booking agents that the venue's smallness translates to a unique intimacy, not an empty dive bar.
"At five years on we're starting to get more and more well-known artists who have either heard about us or have been here before and wanna come back to do a one-, two-, three-night stay," Giampino said.
For example, blues guitar god Robert Cray — who plays Thursday and Friday as part of the Triple Door's anniversary celebration. Cray admires the Triple Door's dedication to performer/audience interaction.
"My preference is having the audience being able to see you work, see you sweat, have a close relationship between the person on stage and the way they're communicating to the audience," he said from a tour stop at the Ho Chunk Casino in Baraboo, Wis. "That's what it's all about. You come down, you wanna sit in a civilized place, and you wanna enjoy music. That's how I am, anyway."
Also significant is the venue's artist hospitality. Cray has family in Tacoma and friends in Seattle, all of whom receive the royal treatment when he plays the Triple Door.
"From what I remember, they kept everybody pretty plied," he laughed.
"It's respect all the way around, for the artists and for the audience, too," Giampino said. "They're not treated like cattle, they're not gouged or anything. It's art, essentially, a whole experience. But there's a huge business component to it and that's always the balance."
"We're trying to be a combination between art and science," Yoder added. "With the kind of programming Scott is bringing in, some really interesting musical talent that's fairly obscure — to me those are the kind of shows I think people should get off their couch and support, whether it be your neighborhood theater or your dance program or your local art school. These are important things for a community. They sort of define life as we know it."

Nearly 40% of the Great Lakes charter fishing fleet is docked in the Ohio waters of Lake Erie, and thousands of recreational boaters launch their vessels from Lake Eries small harbors every summer. Unfortunately, many of the shallow draft harbors used by these boats are sorely in need of dredging and infrastructure maintenance to be continually safe and reliable.
The Great Lakes Small Harbors Coalition was created in November 2007 to represent these commercial and small harbors, as well as their surrounding communities and patrons. Under the GLSHC banner, harbors, advocate organizations, legislators, and state and local agencies from throughout the Great Lakes region are working together to promote harbor projects and ensure sustainable federal funding.

As of right now, Monday, October 8, 2012, 5:30PM EST David Blaine has been standing in a chain-mail suit on New York's Pier 54 with 1 million volts of electricity flowing from one Tesla coil to another across his body for 69 hours. He has 3 hours left. It's the most recent in a series of endurance stunts (being in ice for a while, being on a column for a while, being in a box for a while, being in dirt for a while, being half-asleep ALWAYS) Blaine has performed in public over the past few years for what seems like 0 reason, and it is the stunt he claims to be the "most dangerous" yet. (It's also a stunt that this scientist claims to be "shockingly safe" and one that Intel's Ultrabook claims to be "shockingly ULTRABOOK ULTRABOOK PLEASE BUY ULTRABOOK," but who are you going to believe?) I visited Blaine on Sunday, October 7 and, if you asked me, I'd say that it was one of the shockingly dumber and more confusing things I've ever seen in my life. #ELECTRIFIED!
I arrived at Pier 54 around 3:30PM. Andrew WK was slated to perform there that night at 7:30PM and I did not go to that on purpose so I could witness David Blaine in his natural Electrified environment: surrounded by not very many people who are all standing in the rain, confused, taking photos.
#ELECTRIFIED! This entire stunt is very confusing, but probably the most confusing part of it is the incredibly loud out-of-practice robot orchestra music that drones on through its entirety. You can hear it in the live stream, and you can also hear it if you are anywhere within two blocks of Pier 54. IT IS VERY, VERY LOUD! So loud that they give you earplugs when you walk in, and so loud that you eventually use them even though at the beginning you think, "This probably isn't totally necessary."
They have flames on them because, I assume, an electricity image wasn't available. But back to the music: I still don't understand what it is or who is controlling it. The point of it is that, from what I can understand, the different notes correspond to different…amounts…of electricity? That might be wrong. I don't know! I've tried to find out and THE TRUTH JUST ISN'T OUT THERE. I know Andrew WK controlled it while he was there, and I know Reggie Watts is going to control it at the end of the day today (Blaine's final Eletrified day), but who is controlling it otherwise? Intel says this:
Intel's sponsorship includes supplying Ultrabooks to the site so visitors can interact with Blaine. They can send messages, change the music and ask him questions. Blaine said this will help alleviate the most difficult aspect of the trick, staying focused.
But when I was there it was raining (as it has been the entire weekend) so those blocks of computers looked like this:
And no one was using them because you couldn't because they were covered in fucking garbage bags. (Also, from what I could tell, they were all just playing pre-Electrified interviews with David Blaine?) So I don't know! Maybe they just had different loud robot versions of classical songs that you could choose from, or something? Before getting there I was under the impression that the notes were all audience-controlled, because I knew that the closest platform contained this one Ultrabook that allowed you to press keys, each of which corresponded to a different amount of electricity. (OR SOMETHING?) So I got up to the front of the platform (basically right away because no one was really fighting for it) and checked out what the deal was with that, and the deal was, as far as I could tell, that it was nothing? It felt like being in Johnny Rockets when the old-timey waitress comes around and gives you a nickel to put in your booth's jukebox and you choose a song but never hear it, and go home assuming that it's because Johnny Rockets only plays an old-timey mix CD and the in-booth jukeboxes aren't even connected to anything, even though Johnny Rockets will tell you that you didn't hear it because there's just a big backlog of songs queued up.
I waited until there was a break in the music (there were breaks in between musical pieces, and each time there was a break people would clap, which was very, very funny, because what were they clapping for?) to press a few keys and I did and nothing happened, so I don't know. I was already standing in the rain, watching a man stand in a protective suit for what seemed like no reason, listening to the loudest, worst music I've ever heard, so I wasn't going to investigate what was actually going on with the nonsense computer thing. Another thing I didn't understand about it was that the entire time I was there, there was a man in a little booth raised up next to Blaine, interviewing him:
At first he was up there with a cameraman, but then they lowered the box down and the cameraman got out and the guy with the microphone went back up by himself. …? What a mystery! Was this to ask the Intel questions that the fans were asking? If so, where are we supposed to find the answers? Are they going to be released after the whole stunt is over? If so, who is going to care at that point? Or is this just a television interview? If so, why didn't the cameraman go up the second time? Or is this just a guy who is there to hang out with David Blaine for no reason other than to keep him entertained? Also: How are they recording David Blaine's audio? Does he have a microphone on? I guess he must! It's too bad that it was so unbelievably loud, because I'm sure if the crowd had been able to chat with each other some of these questions would've been brought up and possibly resolved. But, unfortunately, no one could talk to anyone because we all had earplugs in because we were all in a loud, discordant nightmare together. Haha, maybe that's why the loud element was included in the stunt? "IF IT'S LOUD THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS." If so, it worked!
So basically the stunt that Electrified: One Million Volts Always On revolves around is David Blaine leaning (NOT standing — he was leaning on a thing that he was tethered to!!) against something for three days, not eating, while listening to loud, horrible music. (Courtney Love something something that stunt every something something!) The chain-mail suit and helmet protect him from the electricity, so it might as well not even be there. In the interview where he claims it is the "most dangerous" stunt he has ever been to he says the reason why it is the most dangerous is because he doesn't even know what the damage is going to be after the stunt ends, but it seems like the damage is just going to be that he is tired and hungry and annoyed? Though, as this fan notes in the comments under the live stream:
IT IS A LONG TIM TO JUST STAND (LEAN) THERE! Also, as I learned, 20 minutes is a long tim to just stand there watching him just stand there. BOO! Boo this stunt. David Blaine stunts are always upsetting because, even though the endurance factor is always insane and an impressive human feat, the purpose factor is never really there and also David Blaine's annoying, self-satisfied, publicity-hound factor is always way up, but at least with the stunts in the past you UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS HAPPENING. "He's in ice, I get it, for sure." "Oh he's standing on a column forever." This one, I just do not know. He's definitely not eating for three days, I can say that for sure. Electricity is certainly AROUND him. He's located at Pier 54 and it is very loud there. (The only other fact I got out of it is that I have to buy an Ultrabook because oh my god you guys they seem AMAAZIIIIIIIIIIINNNGGGGGG!!!) Though, with all of that said, I am glad I went and was able to see it. Just kidding. It was a waste of time! #ELECTRIFIED!

If we stop giving him attention, maybe the robot orchestra will take David Blaine away forever.

If you want to really be impressed by endurance, check out Tehching Hsieh. He is a performance artist whose pieces always cover one year. http://www.tehchinghsieh.com/
He lived outside for a year, lived in a cell for one year, took a photo of himself every day for one year, etc. The most impressive one is that he tied himself to another performance artist for one year. They were tied together around the waist with about 8 feet of rope between them.
I learned about him in a theater class I took, and I tried the "being tied together" experiment for 24 hours for a paper for that class. Holy shit, that was hard.
So while I can't imagine standing in the same place for 3 days, let alone wearing what I can only assume is a very uncomfortable outfit, I'm still not that impressed David Blaine.
He's trying too hard now. He knows he will never be able to top himself for eating 50 hotdogs in 35 minutes at the county fair last year.

Four travellers from England turned up at Garbine's house for one night in August. We were made very welcome and were offered the use of the pool and barbeque as well as the freezer to keep the salmon we had just caught before heading east. Rather than going to a resaurant we barbequed and had a great meal on the terrace in perfect warm conditions. We all slept well and in the morning in between being inspected by Lorenzo the cat, had Garbine's Huevos Mexicana- fabulous but BIG!. Plenty to do and visit for more than the time we had, we were sad that we were not staying longer. The world is a pretty big place, but if we are crossing Canada again, we will stay here again. This place is a cross between B&B and a rental apartment, and really nice for the openness and freedom that gives you. Chris Victoria Pete and Jen

Age: 56 & Over Skin: Dry, Olive Hair: Silver Eyes: Brown
I love SOC for all the reasons many people seem to not care for it. It is indeed sheer. However, I have olive and gold tones to my skin tone. As a result, the green/gold tones enhance my hands. Matter of fact, I'm not a lilac fan. However, the lilac gives a nice complimentary touch to the overall nail glow.
I found it at a nail salon and looked all summer for it. I asked at a local cosmetic store. At the time, they said they were out of it. I returned to the store a few weeks later and discovered it. I bought two bottles out of fear that it might be discontinued. I believe the sheerness of the color looks great on medium to olive skin tones and not necessarily for fairer skin.
It's subtle. I tend to be conservative with my approach to nail color. I'm from the old school. I am not into neons and nail colors like navy blue or chartreuse. The only glitter I like is on a poster board. I will experiment with the color over some nude shades. However, alone with only 2 coats is perfect for me. Bravo OPI!!

I picked this polish up when a local beauty supplier was closing out, paid $3.(us) for it. It is not very pigmented but I have very pale skin and 2 coats gives me a beautiful shimmery, opalescent rose gold. I love it! Would buy it again in a heartbeat.

This color is so unique and I love that it looks different with different lighting. It's a light purple with a greenish gold shift. It's very sheer, so multiple coats (at least 3) will be needed if you want to see more of the color. Oddly, it doesn't really chip right away even with more coats (though around day 5 it will start to chip). This color tends to dry faster than some of OPI opaque colors. I've already repurchased and will continue to do so whenever I run out.

This is a pale purple pearl color. It's very pretty but it is almost nude-like and I was hoping for something a bit more purple. It is perfect if you want a hint of color and it seems like something you would get for a wedding but I did not notice much purple at all when it is on your nails.

I was on the hunt for a pearl/abalone/opal-like color and when I saw the lilac tone of this shade I was sold. I like Opi products in general and this nail color lasts like the other Opi lacquers I have (i get about 3 days with base & top coat before the tips begin to chip). It is a pretty color in the bottle, I just wish it would look that way on application. However, when I put this on (over a clear base coat), it's looks peachy/gold with greenish hues in my home lighting and office lighting. When in sunlight I do see a bit of mauve but the color on looks nothing like the shade in the bottle. It is pretty but just not the shade I was hoping for.

This is my "go to" polish when I know I'm coming into a big week at work, will be using my hands a lot, and don't want people noticing chipped nails. It's so frosty that a little tip wear can't be seen. With a couple coats, my nails just look well-groomed, but they don't draw attention, unless someone really notices and comments how the polish has two different colors (love those gay friends!)
Plus, it's so easy to apply that I can do a manicure myself, even with bad eyesigh and lighting and skip the weekly trip to the nail salon.

Recently bought this after debating about it for a VERY LONG time, I dont know what took me so long! I am in LOVE with this polish.
On its own it takes about three/four coats to look like it does in the bottle so instead I apply two coats of it over a pastel purple (Planks a Lot) and it creates the colour in the bottle.
I always recieve compliments when wearing it, it makes me feel so girly, even my mum borrows it!
Will 100% buy again when I run out.

Whether you'll love this polish seems to come down to how much you like semi-sheer polishes. I happen to prefer semi-sheer polishes over opaque ones, and I find this polish to be an eye-catching and versatile sheer duochrome with an easy-to-apply texture.
The reviewers here have described SOC's color in all different ways! So here's my take on it. It has a midtone lilac base, with a startling, microshimmer flash that's yellowish green from some angles, and bronze from others. I have light, cool-olive skin (ie, neutral with green undertones), and pure yellow-green or bronze polish would look awful on me. When a color looks wrong on me, it looks REALLY wrong. However, since this polish bases its warm flash in a cool purple, it looks a-okay against my skin! In fact, I suspect this polish would complement a variety of skin undertones.
And this polish isn't simply flattering. It just plain looks special, too. It takes three shades that seem like they would clash, and somehow melds them together beautifully. I don't know whether there's a dupe out there. But even if there is, this color combination is still unusual and unexpected.
SOC has a thin texture that applies very evenly. It's easy to keep away from skin and cuticles, and it's also easy to remove -- it doesn't leave microshimmer embedded in your nails. And as long as the brushstrokes face the same direction, they're not visible -- very unusual for this kind of finish.
This polish can be worn in a variety of looks. Worn in a single layer by itself, the purple base is hardly visible: you get a brilliant duochrome flash against your natural nail color. Three layers make the base noticeable, but allows the boundary between quick and white to show through. (That's the look I like best.) Opacity is achieved with five layers of this easy-to-apply polish. But it's easier to reach the bottle shade by layering it over an opaque purple that's similar to the base color. Similarly, it's fun to experiment with layering this polish over other opaque colors. It looks great over black of course, and I bet it would also look interesting over rich brown, royal blue, or emerald green.
Even if you dislike the sheer or semi-sheer look, this is still great for adding duochrome depth to opaque polishes. And for me at least, the unusual color combination and electrifying flash make this polish a must have.

This polish reminds me of OPI's Nomad's Dream, but it's a bit more pinky pearl. The reviews here seem to be split between boring or gorgeous, so I suppose it's a matter of taste. I really like it. I've only worn it alone, and yes, it is rather sheer, but it gives your nails a finished classy look. The fun part comes when the duochrome kicks in...at just the right angle, it's a coppery candy pink...from straight on, it's almost a silvery sage. And sometimes it looks nude. It's a good color to play with. I haven't layered it over other colors yet, but a previous reviewer said it looks great over black...I might even try it over something like DL's Wicked Game or OPI's Hawaiian Orchid. It's a fun summer color and a nice break from all the opaque neon colors. It reminds me of seashells!

Now this is a lovely polish for me. I love that fact is sheer but interesting at the same time. Flashes of green really set it off.
This was the first OPI that I purchased and it went on really well.
I am a soft and cool colouring and when applied this polish works well with the icy colours and the green flash is like a sea green. A lovely summer shade with a difference. Would buy again.

A two-fer for your Thanksgiving: This is the Peck's Drugstore sign that was uncovered while renovating the historic Peck building that sits near Division and Fulton in downtown Grand Rapids. From the Press:
"The sign has been largely hidden since the 1950s when Press archives show the store's original facade was covered by enameled metal, a popular way of modernizing older storefronts at the time. The bricks being removed this week likely were added during a later facade change."
Last time I went by they had covered it back up again, so I'm glad I made the effort to go down there and take a couple shots. Peck's Drugstore was a "focal point of downtown for nearly a century" according to the story, and was sold to Revco in 1967. Revco moved out in 1988, and the space has been home to various stores and restaurants ever since.

Convincing the world that the vampire squid only wants to cuddle requires the work of more than just one man.

The Goldman Sachs CEO and Kenneth Feinberg talked bonus together.
Goldman CEO's bonus falls way below estimates.
At least that's how big his bonus for 2009 will be.
It's more exciting that way.
"The speculation about compensation is ill-informed and, frankly, pretty stupid."
The 'Times' CEO whisperer explains why top Wall Street figures missed a meeting.
From those who received extraordinary assistance, an extraordinary commitment is demanded.
Haven't we had to put up with enough from this organization?
"See, we got to $70 million because xy2 + yx + x = 0."
Finally, the bank gets advice from someone people actually listen to.
The Goldman Sachs CEO messes it up with one noun.
The Goldman CEO learns the meaning of "too soon."
Unsurprisingly, they prefer to read about great men.

Healthy Halloween Advice for Children With Diabetes
Expert suggests ways for kids to keep blood sugar under control, without feeling deprived
SATURDAY, Oct. 22 (HealthDay News) -- While there are challenges, Halloween can still be fun for children with diabetes, an expert says.
"They can enjoy Halloween and enjoy some of the sweets the holiday offers -- within reason," Dr. Kenneth McCormick, a pediatric endocrinologist and senior scientist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Comprehensive Diabetes Center, said in a university news release.
"We give parents and kids three options and let them decide how they want to handle Halloween and the sweets that come with it," he explained.
The first option is to count carbohydrates. A child tracks how many carbohydrates he or she consumes and takes, for example, one unit of insulin for every 15 to 20 grams of carbs.
"This is an easy option for kids on an insulin pump because they can just dial in an extra dose of insulin to compensate for what they are about to eat. But for kids that take shots, this could prove to be more difficult or inconvenient if they have to go to the school nurse for an extra dose," McCormick said.
The second option is to exchange candy for other goodies.
"Parents can trade the child a gift, money or low-carb snack for their candy. Parents also can provide a substitute snack for their child if a Halloween party at school is an issue," McCormick said. "We have been advising parents to do this for many, many years, and it is a solution that continues to work."
The third option is saving Halloween treats for dessert after dinner.
"By incorporating a sugary treat into mealtime, when a child would normally get a dose of insulin, it eliminates the need for adding doses to their regimen," McCormick said.

The brilliant New York University philosopher Helen Nissenbaum has put her approach to privacy at the center of the national agenda.
PALO ALTO -- A mile or two away from Facebook's headquarters in Silicon Valley, Helen Nissenbaum of New York University was standing in a basement on Stanford's campus explaining that the entire way that we've thought about privacy on the Internet is wrong.
It was not a glorious setting. The lighting was bad. The room was half empty. Evgeny Morozov was challenging her from the back of the room with strings of tough, almost ludicrously detailed questions.
Nissenbaum's March presentation was part of Stanford's Program on Liberation Technology and relied heavily on her influential recent research, which culminated in the 2010 book, Privacy in Context, and subsequent papers like "A Contextual Approach to Privacy Online."
But the most important product of Nissenbaum's work does not have her byline. She's played a vital role in reshaping the way our country's top regulators think about consumer data. As one measure of her success, the recent Federal Trade Commission report, "Protecting Consumer Privacy in an Era of Rapid Change," which purports to lay out a long-term privacy framework for legislators, businesses, and citizens, uses the word context an astounding 85 times!
Given the intellectual influence she's had, it's important to understand how what she's saying is different from other privacy theorists. The standard explanation for privacy freakouts is that people get upset because they've "lost control" of data about themselves or there is simply too much data available. Nissenbaum argues that the real problem "is the inapproproriateness of the flow of information due to the mediation of technology." In her scheme, there are senders and receivers of messages, who communicate different types of information with very specific expectations of how it will be used. Privacy violations occur not when too much data accumulates or people can't direct it, but when one of the receivers or transmission principles change. The key academic term is "context-relative informational norms." Bust a norm and people get upset.
This may sound simple, but it actually leads to different analyses of current privacy dilemmas and may suggest better ways of dealing with data on the Internet. A quick example: remember the hubbub over Google Street View in Europe? Germans, in particular, objected to the photo-taking cars. Many people, using the standard privacy paradigm, were like, "What's the problem? You're standing out in the street? It's public!" But Nissenbaum argues that the reason some people were upset is that reciprocity was a key part of the informational arrangement. If I'm out in the street, I can see who can see me, and know what's happening. If Google's car buzzes by, I haven't agreed to that encounter. Ergo, privacy violation.
Nissenbaum gets us past thinking about privacy as a binary: either something is private or something is public. Nissenbaum puts the context -- or social situation -- back into the equation. What you tell your bank, you might not tell your doctor. What you tell your friend, you might not tell your father-in-law. What you allow a next-door neighbor to know, you might not allow Google's Street View car to know. Furthermore, these differences in information sharing are not bad or good; they are just the norms.
Perhaps most importantly, Nissenbaum's paradigm lays out ways in which sharing can be a good thing. That is to say, more information becoming available about you may not automatically be a bad thing. In fact, laying out the transmission principles for given situations may encourage people, both as individuals and collectively, to share more and attain greater good. On a day when a House of Representatives committee is holding a hearing on privacy titled, "Balancing Privacy and Innovation," which really should be titled, "Balancing Privacy and Corporate Interests," any privacy regulation that's going to make it through Congress has to provide clear ways for companies to continue profiting from data tracking. The key is coming up with an ethical framework in which they can do so, and Nissenbaum may have done just that.
Right now, people are willing share data for the free stuff they get on the web. Partly, that's because the stuff on the web is awesome. And partly, that's because people don't know what's happening on the web. When they visit a website, they don't really understand that a few dozen companies may collect data on that visit.
The traditional model of how this works says that your information is something like a currency and when you visit a website that collects data on you for one reason or another, you enter into a contract with that site. As long as the site gives you "notice" that data collection occurs -- usually via a privacy policy located through a link at the bottom of the page -- and you give "consent" by continuing to use the site, then no harm has been done. No matter how much data a site collects, if all they do is use it to show you advertising they hope is more relevant to you, then they've done nothing wrong.

Hardie secures the points
Martin Hardie scored the decisive second as Morton beat Airdrie 2-0 at Cappielow Park.
After a scrappy opening period, the hosts took the lead on the brink of half time when David O'Brien's fine cross found the head of David Graham, who beat Airdrie stopper Grant Adam from six yards out to give his side the advantage.
Morton extended their lead in the 83rd minute thanks to Hardie, who beat Adam from close range after getting on the end of Michael Tidser's cross to secure the points for the Ton.
Morton came close to adding a third in the closing stages when Anthony Wallace drilled a shot goalwards in the 90th minute, but his effort was blocked by Adam.
