BALTIMORE, MD. — The Walters Art Museum has acquired seven exceptional works of Japanese art to complement its growing collections. The paintings are by well-known Japanese painters active between the 1560s and the 1810s. The seven paintings are Sesson Shukei, "Eight Views of the Xiao and Xiang Rivers (Shosho hakkei)," circa 1860; Tawaraya Sotatsu, "Album Leaf Illustrating the Tales of Ise," circa 1600; Sakaki Hyakusen, landscape, circa 1750; Soga Shohaku, "Orchid Pavilion," circa 1760; Ike Taiga and Tokuyama Gyokuran, landscapes, circa 1770–1779; and Aoki Mokubei, landscape, circa 1810.
"Bringing these beautiful and important works of art to Baltimore permanently will have long-lasting significance for the museum collections," said Robert Mintz, chief curator and Mr and Mrs Thomas Quincy Scott curator of Asian art at the Walters Art Museum. "Walters' visitors will become familiar with works of art that played an important role in the development of the distinctive Japanese style of painting."
Among the seven paintings are an extremely rare Sixteenth Century handscroll depicting the "Eight Views of the Xiao and Xiang Rivers" by the famous Zen ink painter Sesson Shukei (1504–1589) and an equally unusual and important\album leaf by the painter Tawaraya Sotatsu (painted between 1602 and 1635). The two works are by artists whose lives and paintings inspired many generations of later artists.
Equally significant are landscapes by Sakaki Hyakusen (1697–1752) and Aoki Mokubei (1767–1833). These scrolls are examples of Japan's creative spirit at work as they reveal both a traditional approach to painting and reveal a glimpse of the Japanese avant-garde. In these paintings, viewers can clearly see the personalities of the painters and feel their expression as it unfolds across the painted surface.
The paintings will go on view later in 2014.
The Walters Art Museum is at 600 North Charles Street. For information, 410-547-9000 or www.thewalters.org.

I have a new fancy LLBean store near me. I know that they offer an unconditional replacement or cash back warranty at the store for everything they sell. Is this for the life of the product? If I bought a Sage rod (not that I am going to, but hypothetically) at Bean and broke it, can I just walk into the store and swap it out for a new one? Or do you have to go through the manufacturers warranty instead? Anyone have experience with this?

A Zotero app that allows researchers to import and organize digital images and upload to their citation libraries with metadata.
11 ideas posted

Rank 1
A Zotero app that allows researchers to import and organize digital images and upload to their citation libraries with metadata.
Does it have to mobile? As long as the tool is HTML5 (I don't know, a clever JS context clicky to send an image to Zotero), it should be usable on both desktops and smartphones.
This would be great for both desktop and mobile - the point should be streamlining metadata for images, whatever the device.
I would kill to have this...
Mills, can you give a use case here? Not being at #owot, I don't quite know what's intended here.
Not there either but use case: You're in an archive, you take pictures/scans with whatever device (tablet/phone scanner app, digital camera etc.). Send them straight to Zotero, have option to preset fields in metadata (e.g. archive) and add individual ones, in an ideal world maybe even have integrated OCR at some point.
Oh, yeah, similar to ideas 1-2 in http://shermandorn.com/wordpress/?p=5939
This would be great. I made this: https://github.com/pbinkley/zotscan , but something with tighter integration into Zotero would be much more useful.
I like the idea of this, especially with OCR ability. Similarly something to upload audio files (interviews) and automatically recognize (and tag) the content. Good work, have fun, and best of luck with it. I look forward to the outcome.
Because I'm so excited about this, I was thinking about it overnight. I take images of books all the time with my iPad in my local special collections--right now I upload those to Dropbox and then, when I get around to it, attach them to Zotero records of the book I was photographing. It's that "when I get around to it" that's a big problem. Having the process streamlined would be hugely helpful.
Features that would be key: being able to identify which page/leaf/&c is being photographed (it doesn't do me any good to have it attached to a record if I don't know the specific page). It's also key to be able to record the call number/shelf-mark of the copy you're photographing (Zotero records tend to be of books, not copies). I'm sure other things would occur to me--I spend a lot of time taking images in libraries--so if you move ahead with this and need to pick the brain of a future user, I give you blanket permission to pick mine!
I just wanted to add - I'm always encouraging faculty to cite images the way they do text - but I find that unfortunately they often don't! This would make it much easier for them - and would remind them that images are just as worthy of citations.
I have a slightly hard time imagining how this would work, but it's good to know that ZotScan exists. Maybe adapting that is the key.

Health Tip: The Dangers of Having High Cholesterol
It raises your risk of a host of diseases
(HealthDay News) -- High cholesterol usually refers to above-normal levels of LDL (low-density lipoprotein), the so-called "bad cholesterol" that can build up in your arteries and lead to heart disease.
A bad heart may not be the only downside to high cholesterol, however. The Cleveland Clinic says high LDL also increases your risk of:
- Stroke.
- Peripheral vascular disease (PAD), which occurs when fatty deposits build up in arteries outside the heart and brain, most often in the legs and feet.
- Type 2 diabetes.
- High blood pressure, since the heart has to work harder to pump blood through clogged arteries.
- Yoga May Cut Heart Disease Risk Factors

Today, House Majority Leader, Eric Cantor, announced the launch of Cosponsor.gov as an expansion of their Citizen Cosponsor Project. Per the press release on Cantor's site:
"Transparency, open government and engagement should be a key goal of all elected leaders in Washington, and Cosponsor.gov is one step in that direction."
Excited to announce the launch of http://t.co/qnMKIWFb0t, a sweeping expansion of our Citizen Cosponsor Project. http://t.co/QaM2YIP3zJ
— Eric Cantor (@GOPLeader) June 4, 2013
The project intends to list all legislation introduced in the House and allows you, via a connection to your Facebook account, either follow or cosponsor the bills. The effort is the latest in the GOP's effort to catch up with constituent engagement via social media. The application allows you to share the legislation you are following or cosponsoring with your friends list on Facebook, as well.
The hopes that legislation will garner more public attention by employing the most popular social media outlet is a good start for constituent engagement. The full text of many ( but not all) bills are a click away from cosponsor.gov, as well as sponsoring representative(s) names. Ideally, I would like to see a link to the sponsoring Representative's website and / or Twitter account, as well.
Just a quick social media tip to the project managers: Having a way to tweet your support of a particular bill, directly from the page, would be a relatively simple and effective addition, if the goal really is more citizen knowledge and engagement. (Please just remove the cost of my consulting services from my tax liability for 2013. Thanks.)

New comparison of ocean temperatures reveals rise over the last centuryApril 02, 2012
A new study contrasting ocean temperature readings of the 1870s with temperatures of the modern seas reveals an upward trend of global ocean warming spanning at least 100 years.
The research led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego physical oceanographer Dean Roemmich shows a .33-degree Celsius (.59-degree Fahrenheit) average increase in the upper portions of the ocean to 700 meters (2,300 feet) depth. The increase was largest at the ocean surface, .59-degree Celsius (1.1-degree Fahrenheit), decreasing to .12-degree Celsius (.22-degree Fahrenheit) at 900 meters (2,950 feet) depth.
The report is the first global comparison of temperature between the historic voyage of HMS Challenger (1872-1876) and modern data obtained by ocean-probing robots now continuously reporting temperatures via the global Argo program. Scientists have previously determined that nearly 90 percent of the excess heat added to Earth's climate system since the 1960s has been stored in the oceans. The new study, published in the April 1 advance online edition of Nature Climate Change and coauthored by John Gould of the United Kingdom-based National Oceanography Centre and John Gilson of Scripps Oceanography, pushes the ocean warming trend back much earlier.
"The significance of the study is not only that we see a temperature difference that indicates warming on a global scale, but that the magnitude of the temperature change since the 1870s is twice that observed over the past 50 years," said Roemmich, co-chairman of the International Argo Steering Team. "This implies that the time scale for the warming of the ocean is not just the last 50 years but at least the last 100 years."
Although the Challenger data set covers only some 300 temperature soundings (measurements from the sea surface down to the deep ocean) around the world, the information sets a baseline for temperature change in the world's oceans, which are now sampled continuously through Argo's unprecedented global coverage. Nearly 3,500 free-drifting profiling Argo floats each collect a temperature profile every 10 days.
Roemmich believes the new findings, a piece of a larger puzzle of understanding the earth's climate, help scientists to understand the longer record of sea-level rise, because the expansion of seawater due to warming is a significant contributor to rising sea level. Moreover, the 100-year timescale of ocean warming implies that the Earth's climate system as a whole has been gaining heat for at least that long.
Launched in 2000, the Argo program collects more than 100,000 temperature-salinity profiles per year across the world's oceans. To date, more than 1,000 research papers have been published using Argo's data set.
The Nature Climate Change study was supported by U.S. Argo through NOAA.

Sun rises on AngloGold after floodsPUBLISHED: 04 May 2011 09:35:52 | UPDATED: 04 May 2011 09:48:01PRINT EDITION: 04 May 2011
AngloGold Ashanti says first quarter earnings are likely to be about $US241 million ($220.68 million) as strong production in Africa and the Americas offset rain affected production in Australia.
That would be a jump from the $US56 million recorded in the preceding quarter.
The South Africa-based miner said strong performances from Africa and the Americas helped it claw back much of the 20,000 ounces of lost production at its Sunrise Dam mine in Australia, which was affected by rain.
First quarter production remained on track to come in at the original guidance of 1.039 million ounces, AngloGold said in a statement.
Total cash costs would be about $US706 an ounce.
Earnings per share for the March quarter was likely to be 62¢, up from 43¢s a year earlier and 15¢ in the preceding quarter.
AngloGold said this would be the first earnings report without the effects of its hedge book.

Panthers, Bae prevail in Terrier Intercollegiate tournament
The High Point University women's golf team shot a 294 for the second-straight day to win the 2013 Terrier Intercollegiate with a total team score of 588 on Tuesday. Freshman Sarah Bae finished first in her first collegiate tournament with a score of 143.
High Point's second round score matched its record for lowest team score in a round, tying the mark set one day earlier. The Panthers' total team score of 588 is a new 36-hole program record. The score is 11-strokes lower than the previous record of 599, which was set at the Great Smokies Women's Collegiate during the 2005-06 season.
High Point finished 6 strokes clear of Wofford which came in second at 594. SCAD-Savannah moved into third with a 607. Appalachian State fell to fourth with a 623 and USC Upstate finished in fifth with a 627.
One day after shooting an even-par 72, Bae carded a one-under 71 to claim the individual medal. The freshman finished one-stroke shy of matching the HPU program record for low score through 36 holes. Bae finished one-stroke ahead of Wofford's Katy Funk in the individual standings and 3 shots ahead of Alazine Urizar from SCAD-Savannah.
Grier Bennett turned in the low round of the day with a two-under 70 and finished in fourth place overall with a two-day total of 147. Bennett tied the High Point record for low round versus par and finished 1 stroke off the record for the low score in a single round.
Freshman Danielle Fusscarded a 78 in the second round and finished her first collegiate tournament in a tie for 10th with a total score of 152. First-day leader Casey Ward shot an 82 in the second round and finished in a tie for 12th with a score of 153 while sophomore Tan Cheeranont carded a 75 on Tuesday to finish in 15th with a total score of 155.
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — The High Point University men's golf team finished 10th at the Joe Feaganes Marshall Invite at the Guyan Golf and Country Club. The Panthers totaled a team score of 296 in the third round of the Marshall Invite and 885 (295-294-296) for the tournament.
Richmond won the tournament with a score of 855. Danny Pizetoski of Richmond was the individual winner after carding a 207 (68-69-70).
Sophomore McKay Tye was HPU's top finisher with a three-round score of 213 (69-70-74). He tied for sixth place with Xavier's Korey Ward.
Freshman Jack Sides tied for 31st with a final score of 219 (75-69-75) in his first collegiate tournament. Freshman Phil Oweida took one stroke off his second round score to card a 76 on Tuesday. He finished with a 226, which put him in a tie for 60th.
Freshman David Long finished one stroke behind Oweida with a three-day total of 227 (78-78-71). Junior Tyler Engelrounded out HPU's scoring with a 239 (79-78-82).
Junior LJ Georgetti competed as an individual, finishing with a three-round score of 232 (74-74-84).
HPU volleyball gets 3-2 win over Elon in home opener
HIGH POINT — The High Point University volleyball team picked up a 3-2 win over inter-Triad rival Elon its home opener on Tuesday night in the Millis Center. Junior Chelsea Davis had a double-double with 19 kills and 20 digs, and sophomore Annemarie Chin had a career-best 34 digs for the Panthers in the win.
Davis added five blocks to her double-double to lead the Panthers. Junior Kristin Heldt also posted a double-double with 14 kills and a career-high 12 digs.
Megan Gravely led the Phoenix with 11 kills and Danielle Smith added 10 kills and six digs. Ana Nicksic recorded a double-double with 34 assists and 21 digs.
Elon led for much of the first set, opening a 19-13 lead after an HPU attack error. The Panthers slowly cut into the lead, tying the match 19-19 when Heldt put down a kill off the Elon block. On the next play, freshman Savannah Angel and junior Chelsea Blanford went up to block an attack by Gravley to give the Panthers their first lead of the set.
The Phoenix got within one point of HPU's lead, 23-22, on a Panther attack error to force a High Point timeout. After the break, Elon made back-to-back attack errors to win the set for HPU, 25-23.
High Point dominated the second set, outhitting Elon .323 to -.100 en route to a 25-11 victory. Davis had six of HPU's 13 kills in the frame while Elon had six kills total. Davis had three kills in the final four points of the set.
In the third set, Elon capitalized on a slow start by the Panthers. The Phoenix jumped out to a 17-9 lead and held off a late push by the Panthers. Heldt put down a kill to side out for the Panthers, down 23-13. HPU went on a four-point run with Molly Hirrlinger at the service line but couldn't complete the comeback, falling 25-18.
Elon carried the momentum in to the fourth set, making a five-point run to lead 13-9 that was the difference. HPU and Elon went point-for-point the rest of the way in the Phoenix's 25-21 win.
The Panthers clung to a 4-3 lead in the fifth set when Davis and junior Katie Vincent went up to block Danielle Smith on back-to-back plays. The defensive plays gave HPU the push to win the final set 15-10 and the match 3-2.
The win improved High Point to 3-4 on the season and Elon drops to 2-6 with the loss.
Senior Maddie Simpson also had double-double in the game with 44 assists and 10 digs. Vincent finished the game with six kills and eight blocks, including two solo blocks.
The Panthers hit the road again this weekend for the Georgia Southern Invitational in Statesboro, Ga. HPU will face North Dakota State, Georgia Southern and Oral Roberts this weekend.

location, bathroom, nice tea selection available in room
terrible coffee in bar
- courtesy of personnel listening and keen to answer our questions - situation at 5-10 min walk distance from center - organisation of the bathroom of our small suite - nice breakfast
- the paintings; all from the same artist not really convincing - quite cold atmosphere of the hotel
Good location close to old city. Tram close by. Modern facilities & staff accommodating. Good value for money.
Design and ambience, excellent. Location convenient, but somewhat isolated from general amenities and businesses.
Breakfast room was too crowded, we went elsewhere.
Great sylish rooms, lovely spacious bathrooms. It was great that the hop on hop off tourist bus stopped right at this hotel.
Would have liked to have a proper English Channel on the tv that I could watch other than bbc world news & cnn as I couldn't understand the French, German, Spanish other foreign language channels.
Very nice people at the reception, big and comfortable room, box of sweets on departure.
No free parking
Less than 10 minutes walking from the Zwinger. We got a special price for the night, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to afford such a hotel. So it was a nice surprise. The room and bathroom were perfectly clean. There are also gym installations and a sauna on the last floor.
The artwork is unique. There is a tram stop within 200 m of the hotel. The walk to Semper Oper and Residenzscholss is 5 - 10 minutes. Altmarkt is a bit further. There is a public parking grage around the corner. Be sure to take your parking ticket to the front hotel desk to pay before you go to your car.
The breakfast was a bit expensive.
Very nice facilities but with low price
parking was expensive breakfirst was expensive

Stylish building and facility, very kind staffs, comfortable room and bar.
round shower booth with vinyl curtain (I had to be careful for prevention of spill-out)
Attidude at reception, price of breakfast.
Nice clean hotel in a good location and helpful staff
It was hot and humid when we arrived in Dresden and the air-conditioning in the hotel was not good enough for the conditions. Our room was hot and stuffy but we could not open the window because of traffic noise. We were given another room but the a/c was still not strong enough. The lights over the bed were also too hot when turned on and could have burnt you if you were not careful.
The room was very comfortable, parking facility very good,
my food at the dinner was not acceptable - I complained and did not have to pay for it.
Bathroom and shower were good. Staff friendly.
Room was quite small but comfortable. A bit of a walk to historic centre.
Convenience to town was very good, assistance by staff in giving directions to the Hbf.was also appreciated.
The air-con in room 236 was not working. Even having it turned down as far as possible made very little difference. We were there Sat. Sun. and Monday- which was a Public holiday, and there was no service man available to fix it.
- Location of hotel - Quiet when you get room with windows to inner court - Free wifi
- Bathroom could be more clean - TV with very poor picture quality (grainy/noisy picture)
The room is clean.
Poor location, trams passing all day long, making a lot of noise. Ultra slow Wifi.
Location, parking, breakfast
Chair in the room, cocktail at the bar (!)
Very enjoyed the interior design.
The menu for dinner in the restaurant was very limited.
The staff was extremly friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay at the art'otel a lot.
The free wireless service was very slow, on purpouse. The service was provided by Swisscom, which also proposed a very expensive wireless plan (9 euros per day) without all the limitations of the free plan. Unfortunately, this was not clear when I made the reservation: the hotel publicizes its "free wireless service", as it were a very precious thing. This is very annoying. I do not like this kind of approach to wireless service in hotels. Therefore, I urge the hotel to change telecom provider and give their customers a real wireless service for less money.
the cleanliness, the coffee and tea in the room, the reasonable cost for a night, and the closeness to the old city and main attractions.
The need to look for a breakfast in other place, and the small table to work on.

'All Your Shreds Are Belong To US' wins DARPA shredder challenge
It's only been about a month since DARPA challenged geeks everywhere to come up with a way to reassemble shredded documents, but we have a winner: a team based in San Francisco named "All Your Shreds Are Belong To U.S."
The winning team used a combination of computer vision algorithms and eyeball grease to reconstruct the 10,000 individual pieces of shredded paper, but it wasn't easy: over 600 man-hours were spent on software development and old-fashioned looking at stuff. The system that the team came up with used computers to determine which pairs of different paper bits might fit together, along with a human in the loop for confirmation. Ultimately, they were able to to successfully reconstruct each of the five shredded documents and solve the puzzles therein.
These CATS are going home with a $50,000 prize, which is basically nothing considering what DARPA gets out of the deal: a new de-shredding system. I guess the next challenge will have to be more difficult: maybe, reconstructing documents from the ashes of burned paper, which is what everyone with a shredder is going to have to resort to now.
Oh, and one more question: d'you suppose the dudes at DARPA ever actually played Zero Wing?

The use of tobacco is centuries old. It is smoked, eaten, chewed and sniffed. We are obviously talking about drug use here, and addiction. One way it is smoked is with a device called a hookah. Smoking tobacco in a hookah is a practice that dates back to the early 16th century in the Middle East.

This nifty system connects your Android phone to your computer's desktop so you can answer phone calls and reply to text messages remotely.
The tech giants finally relinquish their hold on the highly-coveted technology rights, possibly marking the end of a patent fight between Android phone manufacturers and competitors.
From the novel to the wince-worthy (and sometimes both at once), these handset "firsts" and "bests" helped define our year in smartphones.
The latest offer in Microsoft's 12 Days of Deals is for an unlocked version of a Windows Phone 8.1 handset from Blu Products.
Shipments of Chinese handsets for 2014 have totalled over 450 million, accounting for nearly 40 percent of the global total, set to exceed 50 percent by 2016.
Retailers have been caught secretly offering the iPhone 6 to customers with illegally high subsidies and the Korean government has promised to take action.
New phone codenamed "Shamu" will feature a 5.9-inch screen, sources tell the Wall Street Journal.
Having filed for bankruptcy earlier this year, ongoing troubles at Pantech have forced the company to seek a full buyout.
The company brings the entry-level handsets in Brazil, followed by other countries elsewhere around the world in the coming weeks.
With the Liberto 820, Doro is hoping its simplistic approach to Android will help make smartphones more appealing to older users.

Yesterday was Black Cat Appreciation Day. They have their page on FB! Mommy submitted various pics of Joss and me and guess what? The latest pic of me laying in the bedestal got a lot of comments! Joss' pic of her laying on Mommy's bed got shared by the Black Cat Appreciation Page. Anyway, that pic of me has been added to my page. Unfortunately, Mommy can't get her IPad to move this pic to the front. She'll have to do this on her computer later today.

August 17th will be Black Cat Appreciation Day! Both Joss and I are the black kitties in the family and both of us are very affectionate to Mommy. Even though I'm not a lap cat, I am an early morning on the bed type of cat who showers Mommy with little licks with the tip of my tongue to her chin and nose. Joss likes to sit on Mommy's lap sometimes when she's putting on her makeup.

As a matter of fact, I missed out on the first chicken pawty last night. Today I made up for it by wanting extra of that yummy stuff! In fact, I tapped Mommy many times begging for more! The chicken that human's eat is the kind I have no problem eating without it swimming in gravy. When it comes to wet cat food, I'm in it for the gravy and don't eat much of the meat even when it's chicken. Somehow cat food chicken isn't even 1/2 as good!

Check out my no. 2 pic on my page. Joss and I are almost the same size! She's getting bigger every day! I wonder if she'll ever exceed my 17.2 lbs! If she does, I bet the vet puts her on a strict diet!

Chinese PM to arrive Ethiopia today
Addis Ababa, 4 May 2014 (WIC) - Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang will arrive Ethiopia today for a three-day visit.
"The purpose of the visit is to further enhance existing relations between Ethiopia and China," Ambassador Dina Mufti, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia said.
He said both Addis Ababa and Beijing were satisfied with their existing ties Ethiopia and China have all-round strategic development relations.
Ethiopia-China diplomatic relations were first established in 1970.
China is one of Ethiopia's main partners in infrastructure development, construction and technology transfer, and represents Ethiopia's number-one investor, followed by India and Turkey.
A high-level Chinese delegation led by Chinese Deputy Prime Minister Liu Yandong visited Ethiopia last November.
According to Turkish press, early this month, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Ming also visited Ethiopia.

I use clear wand tubes of lip gloss to mix some of my favorite colored micas into for custom glosses. For some time I've used these glosses because they're cheap and widely available but I got so tired of the thin, almost oily consistency. They smear off of my lips. They don't last very long. The micas don't stay in suspension so I have to stir and tilt the wand every time I use them.
I ended up switching to NYC Liquid Lip Shine, which I *love*, and I would recommend over WnW's version hands down. It's noticeably thicker and stays longer without being tacky. Plus for the same price you get more gloss, and the tube is nicer -- none of that nonsense where you either end up with gross sticker edges flapping around between the tube and cap, or you peel the whole sticker off and have to use WD-40 to remove the tenacious, sticky residue. Ugh.
More reviews by DyingMessenger
Wonderful lip gloss for the price (paid $1.99).
Very shiny, not sticky, stays on the lips for a good amount of time.
Returned a Bobbi Brown crystal lip gloss for this one. You can't beat the price!! This is much less sticky than the BB one. In fact, it has hardly any "stick" at all! The only reason it gets 4 lippies is because it's not as shiny as the BB one.
I love this lipgloss.
the price is amazing, its not sticky.
my favorite color, lol, CLEAR :)
matches any skin tone.
but you have to keep applying it. but im okay with that.
Love this little cheap lip gloss. It's shiny and is not sticky, which I hate. For the most part, it's easy to apply with the wand. Delivers the right amount of shine without making you look too "greasy." I don't understand why anyone would spend over $3 on clear lipgloss when this is out there. Will forever be a staple.
I really like this lip gloss especially for the price - it lasts but doesn't feel thick or gluey and works really well for me over my current favorite lipstick - L'Oreal Endless Colour - In the Buff. I do agree with some other reviewers though that there is a smell...I don't find it offensive enough not to use it and it goes away immediately so it's not like it lingers. I have not noticed this smell with other WNW lip glosses so I was surpised by it which made me think maybe I got a bad tube but since so many other reviewers have mentioned it I guess not.
Love the staying power of this gloss. It is thick and stays on my lip really well. My hair does get stuck in it which I equate to a really good, thick lip gloss. I do not like the fact that mine leaks and I cannot carry it in my bag. Will repurchase. I like this gloss better than the higher end clear glosses for the $$
This stuff ain't bad at all for the price. Not too sticky, yet super shiny. Wouldn't buy MAC clear lipglass any day as long as this stuff is still being made.
After reading the reviews, I am curious to try this product. Expensive doesn't always equal good quality. Even these drug store brands will surprise you!
This stuff is super cheap and actually pretty moisturizing. I put it on after brushing my teeth when I wake up with chapped lips, and after a while they feel much smoother. For a simple clear lip gloss, it's a great bargain.

Atheroembolic renal disease (AERD) occurs when small particles made of hardened cholesterol and fat spread to the small blood vessels of the kidneys.
Renal disease - atheroembolic; Cholesterol embolization syndrome; Atheroemboli - renal; Atherosclerotic disease - renal
AERD is linked to atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a common disorder of the arteries. It occurs when fat, cholesterol, and other substances build up in the walls of arteries and form a hard substance called plaque.
In AERD, cholesterol crystals break off from the plaque lining the arteries. These crystals move into the bloodstream. Once in circulation, the crystals get stuck in tiny blood vessels called arterioles. There, they reduce blood flow to tissues and cause swelling (inflammation) and tissue damage that can harm the kidneys or other parts of the body
The kidneys are involved about half of the time. Other body parts that may be involved include the skin, eyes, muscles and bones, brain and nerves, and organs in the abdomen. Acute kidney failure is possible if the blockages of the kidney blood vessels are severe.
Atherosclerosis of the aorta is the most common cause of AERD. The cholesterol crystals may also break off during aortic angiography, cardiac catheterization or surgery of the aorta or other major arteries.
In some cases, AERD may occur without a known cause.
The risk factors for AERD are the same as risk factors for atherosclerosis, including age, male gender, cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
AERD may not cause any symptoms. If there are symptoms, they may begin suddenly, or slowly get worse over weeks or even months. Symptoms may include:
Kidney failure may result in:
The doctor will perform a physical exam. Swelling can start in the legs, but may affect the whole body. An eye exam may show particles in the small arteries of the retina.
The doctor will listen to your lungs, heart, and large blood vessels with a stethoscope. Abnormal sounds may be heard. For example, a loud whooshing sound called a bruit may be heard over the aorta or renal artery.
Blood pressure may be high. There may be many ulcers on the skin of the lower feet.
Tests that may be done include:
There is no treatment for atheroembolic kidney disease that works well. Treatment is focused on managing the complications of organ damage.
Medicines may be used to treat high blood pressure and lower lipid and cholesterol levels.
Your doctor may also recommend other lifestyle changes, such as increased exercise or weight loss. Stopping smoking is very important.
The outcome varies but is generally poor. The disorder slowly gets worse over time. Lifestyle changes may help slow progression of the disease.
Call your doctor if you have:

OPI and the Overhype
39 comments:
so disappointing! their glitters are lovely (i have bring on the bling which is an amazing gold) but i can't really rave about any other plain shades that i have. they're average at best. especially compared to the likes of models own and barry m, which are nearly always opaque in just two coats and are less than half the price!ReplyDelete
helen xoReplies
It sounds gorgeous Helen, I didn't look into the shade I was buying turns out it's meant to be semi sheer. Ah well!Delete
3 coats is ridiculous! All of the opi's I have tried have even pretty good but not amazing.. Definitely an overhyped brand! Especially considering they are so, so expensive. XxReplyDeleteReplies
I'm of the school of thought that budget beauty brands more than hold a candle to their more expensive counterparts - I still firmly believe that ;) xDelete
That's awful!and they are so expensive:( I recently tried nails inc (the free one with glamour ) and I was very impressed but I'm still not sure I could spend that much on polish xxReplyDeleteReplies
Nails inc is fab! I got the Tate last year and then picked up the red one in Glamour there so so so impressed but still would only ever pick them up on offer xDelete
oh they are expensive! glad i read this review!! xReplyDeleteReplies
I think for this polish in particular unless you're looking a semi sheer jelly like appearance it's not the right shade. Might try another....Delete
This is from the texas collection which was what opi calls a sorbet finish, basically they were pretty much all semi-sheer finishes. xReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Emma, at least I know to stay away from that now! xDelete
I love opi! I can honestly say every polish of theirs that I have tried has been great. BUT every brand has the of dud, I'd definitely give it another go, I have a gorgeous red called red got ayres rock that is opaque and gorgeous after one coat. Think you mighta just got the bad one of the bunch chick :( try Sally's if there's one up your way, they usually have a bin of them hugely discounted. XxReplyDeleteReplies
I'll look out for that one Bex, this one just wasn't for me :( xDelete
awhh I love OPI... very disappointing to hear that! x MarinaReplyDeleteReplies
OPI and I (on this occasion) were not to be :( hopefully I'll get to try one that's better! xDelete
I saw this shade in TKMaxx the other day and thought it was really pretty. This isn't one of their normal polishes though, so don't be put off! It's a "Sorbet" finish one (just OPI's name for a jelly) so it's supposed to go on sheer and then after three usually thick coats, it looks glossy but semi sheer and squidgy like jelly! I think that finish doesn't suit everybody, especially those with longer nails with a visible free edge (my free edge is so white that it really shows through) but I love the look on shorter nails.ReplyDelete
Also polishes like this are great for glitter sandwiches. Alternate one layer of the jelly with a chunky glitter and keep going and the effect is gorgeous!
Alternatively, just paint on a coat of white and it'll make the coral/red look opaque.
Sorry didn't want this comment to be so long, but I'd hate to think you were disappointed! I only have about 10 OPIs and I love them, they're all creme finish and take 2 coats maximum with amazing so you should definitely try some more! Just google them before you buy and read a few blogs so you're 100% that you like the finish! xxReplies
AHHHHHH! Thanks Fay!! Glad I know that now xxDelete
I've not tried Opi polishes before, but this sounds so disappointing for an expensive brand. The colour looks just like Barry M's Bright Red. I think I'll be sticking to that £2.99 beauty instead of splurging on something that doesn't deliver!ReplyDeleteReplies
Barry M is fab right enough - I've their indigo, gold foil and red wine and I adore them all (would love more!) xDelete
Hum, I've had nothing but good experience with OPI, but I've only had dark colours I got in a mini set as a gift (black, dark red, purple etc.) but I also used it with their 321 base, topcoat and strengthener (also very expensive). I chose a dark blue to wear for my wedding and wore base, two coats of polish and clear top coat. It lasted a week and I got lots of comments on how good my nails were.ReplyDelete
I think the colours are nice, but the thing that makes them stand our against cheaper brands is that they last such a long time and shine so well, but to be honest is this is so dependent on the clear topcoat then you could try that with a cheaper polish?
That's a great tip Jennie xxDelete
Oh, I only have one bottle of OPI, a lilac one which I really do like, but I only got it because I found it really cheap on ebay. I don't think I use nail polish often enough for it to be worth paying the OPI price tag.ReplyDeleteReplies
I think regardless of how often I'd use it it's still a little on the pricey side for nail polish xDelete
love that colour. :3ReplyDeleteReplies
I just wish it had been opaqueDelete
I have a feeling this is one of their jelly ones which are meant to have a sheer finish to them. I don't personally like these but I have tons of their solid, creme finish ones and LOVE them!ReplyDelete
Don't give up just yet...try another one because they really do have the most beautiful colour range and the ones I have are all lovely solid colours. Ebay is a good place to buy them from, or the mini collections that are 4 cute dinky bottles for £11. xxxReplies
It is indeed Mrs D. The minis sound a great wee bargain I'll definitely look out for them! Thanks :) xDelete
Hi Sera, I have to say, I've only ever had 2 OPI polishes and both have been really good. The first one I got was called something like 16 candles on the cake or something and was a lovely red - infact it was the first red I'd ever worn and it was amazing to put on and the finish were spot on (good brush). I actually used that varnish as the bar for all other polishes and how well they apply. The latest one I got was Skyfall - yup, I fell for the hype. I've got a feeling that the brush is not as good - not as precise but I can't fault the actual polish itself. I don't know anything about the jelly ones but I don't think I would be keen on those - I like my solid shades.ReplyDeleteReplies
Good to know Sue! And yay on your first red! I've jotted that name down so I'll remember to keep my eyes peeled for bargains ;) xDelete
It's still a lovely colour on you. Right to beware of buying into something just because of the name though! I find many Rimmel polishes very good.ReplyDeleteReplies
I think I'll be more hesitant in future Ash xDelete
I got this shade on discount in Sally's and thought it would be a good toenail shade but it was wayyyy too sheer to use for toes!ReplyDelete
I did use it on my fingernails though and really liked it - I've two coats on here:
I guess it depends what you expect from a polish, but I really liked it!
S xxReplies
Just been over to have a look and it looks so much better on you!xxDelete
p.s. check out my ray ban giveaway!
devorelebeaumonstre.com xx
Really nice colour, what a shame about the finish! I only own an OPI top coat... never felt the need to buy any of the colours when there are no many cheaper polishes on the market.ReplyDelete
I work as a beauty therapist and use Opi constantly and have loads of shades and have to say I have only ever had one like this, all my others (about 30) are just 2 coats and your done. Sad that this was your first purchase xReplyDelete
AGH! I was such a HUGE OPI fan until last week when I bought one of their German collection 'Germanicure' and it was 3 boats and still practically see-through. Super disappointing, but I have no other problems with the rest of my collection (aside from the price, but God bless coupons!)ReplyDelete
I absolutely love OPI. I have about 20 shades, and I show no signs of stopping. Most of the colours I have are wonderful, however there are a few sheer ones; Guy Meets Gal-Veston, I'm looking at you! I think you just need to be wary of the shades you choose. Good luck with your next OPI purchase.ReplyDelete
Don't buy Rainbow Connection. There are a million dupes. Essence - Circus Confetti is one, Technic do one, China Glaze have another one coming - Pizzazz, and OPI duped themselves - Nicole by OPI Rainbow in the S-Kylie is basically Rainbow Connection in a different bottle and you can get that on Littlewoods/Very.co.uk, keep an eye out for after-Christmas sales or voucher codes, that's when I buy my Nicoles from Littlewoods xxReplyDeleteReplies
