Fry: DOOP? What's that?The (mostly) good counterpart to The Empire, generally a democracy and/or presided over by Reasonable Authority Figures, and a superstate composed of many different nations and races, inspired by the structure of the United States or the United Nations. The actual name may vary, but not by much. It is likely to have the words "Federation", "United", "Alliance" or equivalent verbiage somewhere in the official title. In most sci-fi settings, the Federation is predominantly human (or composed of humans, Human Aliens and Rubber-Forehead Aliens), usually commands a fleet of Standard Human Spaceships, and is most likely to look the closest to Twenty Minutes into the Future when the other factions may be Crystal Spires and Togas, Organic Technology or both. Expect its Capital to be the Shining City and its citizens to wear anything but Spikes of Villainy or Putting on the Reich. Rarely played as evil outright, but will usually suffer from sometimes-crippling red tape, and the occasional corrupt politicians and/or generals. Another common evil Federation set-up is The Federation opposing the independence of a number of colonies, whether space colonies in orbit, Mars or other planets in the system, or on entirely different systems. Even in this case, the main opposing force may be shown to be Well Intentioned Extremists and/or an example of The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized, willing to hurt innocent people to try to gain their independence, or worse, being used as a front for a truly evil Big Bad. The heroes will usually be either among the good soldiers of the Federation or neutral parties who get caught up in the war; this is especially true in anime. In this case, The Federation will be seen as the lesser of two evils. Another evil Federation setup is to make its governance an outright People's Republic of Tyranny. If pitted against The Empire, is usually in a Cold War-like state, just recovering from a recent war, or a few international incidents from plunging into one. They often give covert aid (weapons, funds, supplies) to any resistance movements, but won't intervene directly unless they're already at war. In general, it frequently plays an America-like role in the political climate of the setting. If there's a movement to overthrow or undermine it, it's likely The Remnant. Technically a "federation" is a loose conglomeration of states with common goals and purposes, coordinated by a central government that's independent of them all, and from which they have a certain amount of autonomy. One of the best examples of a federation is Russia: not only is its official name "Russian Federation", but most of the lands with a significant ethnic population, like Chechnya, are highly autonomous regions known as "republics". The Swiss Confederation is also an example. Likewise, the original design of the United States was a federation (hence "federal government"); many so-called "federations" in fiction are nothing of the sort. If the group acts much more like a single country than a bunch of mostly autonomous states, it's probably The Republic. Note that a 'Confederation' is typically a conglomeration of states that are even more loosely bound than a Federation, the primary difference is that in a Confederation, the federal good is 'never' allowed to outweigh the good of the individual state. Switzerland is a modern example of a successful confederate democracy; the United Arab Emirates is an example of a confederation of absolute monarchies. In fiction, Confederations are typically portrayed as (at best) antagonistic neutrals and at worst, bad guys. This seems to be a holdover from the US civil war. Compare and contrast The Alliance, usually a more temporary union of nations against a common enemy. Also compare the Fictional United Nations, where the overall governing body is weaker, it may contain both good and evil members, and it is much less unified (no unified military, and not treated as a single state by outsiders).
Farnsworth: It's similar to the United Nations from your time, Fry.
Fry: Uh...
Hermes: Or like the Federation from your Star Trek program.
Fry: Oh!

Mass Properties Testing and Evaluation for the Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator
Mass Properties Testing and Evaluation for the Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator Mass properties (MP) measurements were performed for the Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG), serial number (S/N) 0X730401, the power system designated for the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission. Measurements were made using new mounting fixtures at the mass properties testing station in the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Space and Security Power Systems Facility (SSPSF). The objective of making mass properties measurements was to determine the generator's flight configured mass and center of mass or center of gravity (CG). Using an extremely accurate platform scale, the mass of the as-tested generator was determined to be 100.117 ± 0.007 lb. Weight accuracy was determined by checking the platform scale with calibrated weights immediately prior to weighing the MMRTG.a CG measurement accuracy was assessed by surrogate testing using an inert mass standard for which the CG could be readily determined analytically. Repeated testing using the mass standard enabled the basic measurement precision of the system to be quantified in terms of a physical confidence interval about the measured CG position. However, repetitious testing with the MMRTG itself was not performed in deference to the gamma and neutron radiation dose to operators and the damage potential to the flight unit from extra handling operations. more »

WELCOME to Camp Demigod!
DIGIVATIONS Camp Demigod's Camp Half-Blood and Camp Fandom are a blend of world building through innovation and role playing. These Camps are based on the principles that kids have an enormous reservoir of creativity and innovative ideas which they look forward to sharing with other like-minded individuals who hold common interests. These common interests are often fueled by stories embodied in literature such as Percy Jackson and the Olympian Series, the Hunger Games, Divergent, the Leviathan or media such as BBC television series' Dr. Who and Sherlock and other series such as Avatar: the Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. Movies including Avatar, the Hobbit and Inception also ignite kids interests so they create innovative new works based on imagined worlds. Camp Fandom is a mash-up of these different themes and stories.
Q. What is a Mash-Up?A.) A mash-up is where SF/Fantasy (speculative fiction), Steampunk (Re-imagining the Victorian Age with futuristic technologies), Mythologies from different cultures (Middle-earth to Ancient Asian influences through the elements) and Dystopian Societies (Hunger Games, Divergent Trilogy) are blended together through the awesome creativity of our campers with the support of our world class faculty.These mash-ups are threads which run through both camps and intertwine literature, media including film and television, along with music and the visual arts and fashion and costume design also serving as ingredients.Q. What are Campers Doing?A.) Our Camps will be brought to life through our Campers engagement with DIGIVATIONS unique NASA award winning methodology which drives the concept of innovation, quests and world building through role playing and SF/Speculative Fiction. Camp Demigod students' will use their imaginations and creativity to create, write, produce, and direct improvisations, films and games. Campers' works will be brought to life through the skills they will develop and hone participating in classes encompassing innovation/sphere of influence, art, music, tactical training including theatrical swordsmanship/combat (historical), martial arts and thai chi (focus on bending), and training like an astronaut. Campers will also create costumes, armor and weapons, as well as real and virtual sets using different computer programs, rockets and robots, among other materials.
Camp Demigod's activities page will provide a good overview of a typical day.Q. What about Play & Social Time?A.) All the above will be supported through a myriad of activities ranging from hiking through Point Roberts beautiful trails, walking the many beaches and romping and rolling through the unique clay cliffs. Swimming is also a popular favorite. Downtime also provides campers with the opportunity to play a variety of board and card games and just chat and speak freely among themselves about their passions while also creating bonds as they explore their inner voices.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi officials have raised the death toll in a suicide attack against anti-al-Qaida fighters north of Baghdad to 18.
Two police officers say the suicide bomber, who detonated his explosives belt on Monday among a group of pro-government militiamen, killed at least 18 and wounding 42.
The men targeted by the bomber were gathering to collect their salaries outside one of their headquarters in the town of Taji.
Three medical officials confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to release information to the media.
The blast comes a day after several suicide attackers on foot and in two explosives-laden cars hit a provincial police headquarters in Kirkuk, also north of Baghdad, killing at least 15 people and wounding 90.

Polo Ralph Lauren is one of The New York Times' most loyal ad customers. A regular in the print paper, on the website, and increasingly in mobile as well, it's proven willing to follow its media partner into uncharted waters and to spend big on premium digital ad space.
The latest example is a sponsorship and rich media ad takeover of the Times' iPad App. It uses an HTML5 "magalogue" execution to present a blend of articles, videos and other content promoting its Olympics sponsorships. (View a demo courtesy of Medialets, which produced the ad). Thanks to the buy, NYT is making six sections of the app free to non-subscribers.
The campaign marks the second time Ralph Lauren has bought the immersive ad format -- exactly the number of times NYT has sold it. AdExchanger spoke with Todd Haskell, the publisher's group VP of advertising.
Will you sell this to advertisers other than Ralph Lauren?
We'd be open to working with other clients. There are very few brands that have the brand equity and assets to do something like this. Ralph Lauren, across all of their different brand pillars, creates an enormous amount of this stuff, so they can do this.
How does implementation happen for an ad like this, and what role do your in-house technologists play?
Medialets does a really nice job of the rich media work that goes into this, in terms of development. Ralph Lauren supplies all the assets. What we do is make sure the infrastructure of the app and the technology delivers a great reader experience, and most importantly, that we deliver a content experience within the app that leads to engagement with the brand.
How long's the turnaround, from sale to serving the ads?
We have a deep relationship with Ralph Lauren. They run in the newspaper every week, they run on the website. We've been talking about this for many months. It went into high gear three to four months ago.
How much do you charge for it?
It's a premium product and it's at a very large scale, so it's not cheap. But I think the fact that it's their second is a testament to the value.
What level of reporting do you offer?
This type of program is delivered with full accountability and transparency for the advertiser. You hear a lot of discussion in the tablet space about making sure that the advertiser knows exactly what they're getting when they do a tablet solution. Specifically the magazine publishers have struggled with… reporting transparency and accountability.
We feel complete transparency and accountability is table stakes. The Ralph Lauren [people] have complete visibility into the exact delivery of ad impressions, how they are used, engagement, time spent with different elements of them.

Watch this rolling cliché of motorcycle drifting, stunting, fast cars and hot models
Apparently, a video featuring a heavily modified Graves Motorsports Yamaha R1 ridden by stunt rider Bill Dixon isn't enough of a draw to attract the easily wandering eyes of the YouTube crowd. So, in addition to the blacked-out bike, which Dixon describes as "the epitome of badass," the film crew also brought along a couple cars, all of them black, including a Stillen-modified Nissan GT-R and some sort of supercharged-Hemi-powered police car.
Not enough? Fine. How about aerial shots from a helicopter and a couple of leggy models named Angela and Destiny, dressed in both impossibly skimpy (NSFW!) bikinis and Holloween-ready police girl outfits?
Yep, this video's got all the chichéd stereotype boxes checked. All that's left to do is watch. You'll find it after the break... and remember, it's probably best not to do so at work.

Following a stroke, former World Speedway Champion Freddie Williams passed away on January 20, 2013, aged 86...
During the Second World War Freddie was an apprentice in the Naval Dockyard in Portsmouth and became a Home Guard despatch rider. When peace returned he started racing grass-track and by 1947 he had signed for Wembley and rode exclusively for the Lions until 1956. He won the World Championship in 1950, finished runner-up in 1952, then took the world crown again in 1953. He married a British figure-skating champion, Pat Devries, the same year.
Freddie had a motorcycle business and later ran a car sales concern near his Berkshire home. At Cardiff in 2012 Freddie presented the trophy he last held 60 years previously to current champion Chris Holder. He leaves his wife and three children.

Changing the way you think (renewing the mind)
One of my favorite verses in the Bible is Romans 12:2 -
Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world but be transformed by renewing the mind…
One of the major patterns of thinking humanity has created and cultivated is religion. This, in most cases, includes a deity who is to be feared unless a long list of unattainable demands are met. Failure typically means spending eternity being relentlessly tortured.
Judaism follows this pattern. An ancient nomadic Middle Eastern tribe created a god who demanded blood and a long list of rituals in order that they would be forgiven of their transgressions. The description of the ritualistic slaughter of innocent animals and the amount of blood which flowed in the temple as a result of these sacrifices would make any modern day bloody thriller seem like a children's movie. This god also gave divine direction to their conquests as he demanded the extermination of entire nations of people including babies, children, and animals. A Christian will tell you that this was required in order to somehow bring to an end to evil pagan practices such as sacrificing babies to idols. I think it's a bit ironic that babies are killed in order to stop the killing of babies. How does that make sense?
Christianity continues to build on this pattern as God ended up having to sacrifice himself to himself as the ultimate penalty for man's sin…

Joel Osteen upgrades God to God version 2.0
LeoPardus recently posted a few You might be a Fundy if… one-liners. Among them was:
You might be a Fundy if… God regularly opens up convenient parking spaces, JUST FOR YOU.
Well, it turns out that this is not far from what is being preached at one of the largest churches in America, Lakewood Church in Houston, Tx. According to a Slate Article by Chris Lehmann on Joel Osteen's new book Become A Better You:
Joel Osteen's God really wants you to dress well, stand up straight, and get a convenient parking space.
The article gave this analysis of Joel Osteen:
Joel has pointedly refrained from … really doing much biblical preaching at all. He has the wardrobe and tirelessly dapper mien of an oil industry lobbyist; it's as a walking advertisement of the success creed, and not as any manner of prophet, that he's made his name. "I'm not called to explain every minute facet of Scripture or to expound on deep theological doctrines or disputes that don't touch where people live," he writes dismissively in Become a Better You. "My gift is to encourage, to challenge, and to inspire…"

How to discover counterfeit Christianity?
My former pastor had a favorite anecdote to share on why his flock should not look beyond the teachings of his faith camp in their studies. He relayed that the individuals who are responsible for discovering counterfeit money do not study the different counterfeits in order to learn about counterfeits. They ONLY focused on the real thing so when the counterfeit came along, they would immediately know it was not real. If they also studied counterfeits, they would be too confused as to what is real to be effective in their job. This admonishment was aimed at keeping the flock in subjection to his teachings and to discourage them from listening to those who were critical of the message of faith.
In response to the chaplain's post Christian Education or Indoctrination?, Karen made this comment:
Education teaches people how to think; indoctrination teaches people what to think. All the religious instruction I went through as a child was distinctly of the latter variety. Even as an adult, I was warned not to educate myself about other religious beliefs. As I was questioning Christianity, I looked into Buddhism and Judaism and bought a couple of books on those topics. My husband objected that I was bringing evil spirits into our household and he did not want them physically "tainting" our home! The only way to learn about other religious beliefs "safely" was to take a course on world religions that a missionary group offered at our church. Of course, you can imagine how "objective" that course was – all other religions were presented as deceptions of Satan! There was absolutely no objective presentation of religious beliefs outside of Christianity…

The De-Conversion New Years Sermon
As a Christian, New Years Day was always a very special day for me. It was the day I would turn my back on all the past mistakes of the previous year and pray that God would make me a better individual in the year to come. I forgot those things which were behind me and pressed on towards the prize of the higher calling.
However, now as a de-convert, I cannot simply forget any of my mistakes of the past year. It is my responsibility to make sure I deal with them in order to move ahead. I cannot simple "give them to God" and know that they have been cast into the sea of his forgetfulness where he and I would remember them no more. I cannot accept that that I can simply confess that there is now therefore no condemnation for those actions but if I deserve to be condemn, then I have to pay the necessary price.
Also, I cannot simply expect my invisible diety to help make me a better person, I have to make the choices to change areas of my life which I deem as needing improvement. In other words, the responsibility sits squarely on my shoulders. I have to admit that it was so much easier to give things to God than for me to accept now that they are my responsibility. Throwing away my crutch and standing on my own two feet is sometimes a difficult feat to accomplish…

The Myth of God's Unconditional Love
Today is the day we set aside to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Even though there are many questions as to whether this event actually ever took place, we cannot deny the impact this story, related a few decades later in the gospels, has had on the world. This "good news" did not bring the promised peace on earth but resulted in wars and fear. However, as LeoPardus recently pointed out, there are some good things that can be attributed to the birth of the church.
As I meditate on the meaning Christmas used to hold for me, there is one particular point that I can no longer reconcile as rational. This event was supposed to be a demonstration of God's unconditional love for man. That God, so loved the world, that he gave his only son, to die on a cross to redeem me from my sins and thus restoring me into a relationship with him.
Upon reading the scriptures, one cannot help but conclude that God's love is anything but unconditional. The Old Testament is packed with what I will refer to as "if…then" statements. If you do a list of things, you will be blessed but if, on the other hand, you disobey you will be cursed. In many cases, the curses included genocide, violence, killings, diseases, sicknesses, fire and brimstone, floods, plagues, and a variety of other demonstration of God's wrath and judgment. How can any of this be described as unconditional?…

God is cruising down US I-35
LeoPardus recently wrote about a prayer he prayed during his de-conversion journey where he asked the following of God – "God, if you're real, do something. Anything."
Well Leo, hop in your car and head to I-35. God is there and he's in full action. He's even delivering people from homosexuality (what greater miracle could you see).

Review: vPost Personal Beta By Vayyoo, Inc
Hopefully everyone is familiar with vPost. It's an extremely valuable email multi-media tool available, allowing the BlackBerry user to capture moments with pictures, video, voicenotes, and notes, and GeoTag them as well. All from one email even. It allows you to send to personal emails as well as blogging sites such as Posterous. And now it's in Personal Beta.
Vayyoo has come a long ways. The first time I tried vPost I was really impressed and excited, but the phone I was using at the time had blocked GPS through my wireless carrier to a third party. So I wasn't able to utilize the GPS portion of it, but as the months have gone, vPost has increased the size of videos, and numbers of pictures, allowing you to save everything from concerts to your family moments. I have a phone in which I am able to utilize the full features of vPost including the GPS. VPost has been available in the BlackBerry Sync Store for $9.99, but they have announced their Personal Beta which is free for now. This one is also available in the BlackBerry Sync Store. Let me list the description of the app as listed in the store:
Whether you are out with friends, having fun on vacation, or at the scene of breaking news, vPost is a tool that you need on your BlackBerry. vPost makes capturing and sharing moments simple by integrating the camera, location, & email features of your BlackBerry. Share photos and videos of concerts, sporting events and fine dining in a whole new way.
By using vPost you can send pictures, video clips, and audio notes to your friends, family, and online communities quickly and easily. Include a map link with your GPS location for travel memories and geo-tagging. Create personal widgets for single click sending to individuals, groups, and popular sites like Facebook, Flickr and many more. Publish multiple photos, text, video, and even voice memos to your blog in a single step. With vPost the only limit is your imagination.
IMPORTANT: Set a convenience key to vPost and recording anything is just a click away. Download vPost today and capture the moment.
Here are the key features of vPost:
So these are pics I'm sharing with the set up. It's been a little more thorough, much easier to set up, and there's no real limitations on the size. I'm impressed. I chose some concert event moments from the U2 360 concert sponsored by BlackBerry since BlackBerry loves U2. I sent the entire email out and it includes the maps and all. It sends to my Twitter and my Posterous, in full detail, as well as anyone else that I choose to share with. And GPS is clearly working.
Pro's: I love vPost, it's one of my favorite apps since you can send so many files and be creative, sharing the moments that count. Whether it's sharing a belated birthday wish, missing your loved one, a moment you want to keep a snapshot of, or a milestone. It's all around incredible. GPS Geotag your event, so you can remember where you were. You can list several sites to post to. All from one app. It saves you time from sending one file at a time and you can do it live.
Cons: I really can't find any con. Especially since the app is currently free in Beta. I didn't have any problems setting it up.
I really have to give this app five stars. Easy to use, navigate, and set up. It does just as it says it does, it virtually posts for you. Enjoy your moments and share them too, without sharing one at a time. What have you got to lose when it's absolutely free? Don't miss out, go check it out for yourself!
You can grab your free copy of vPost Personal Beta by Vayyoo, Inc from the BlackBerry Sync Store here >
Compatible with BlackBerry OS: 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 5.0
Compatible with BlackBerry Devices: 81xx Pearl series, 82xx Pearl Flip series, 83xx Curve series, 85xx Curve series, 87xx Series, 88xx World series, 89xx Curve series, 9000 (Bold), 9500 (Storm), 95xx Storm series, 96xx Tour series, 9700 (Bold)

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is honoring Panasonic for its leading role in promoting the Energy Star program in the EPA's 2003 Home Electronics Holiday Campaign.
As a campaign participant and long-time Energy Star partner, Panasonic included a special insert inside the packaging of more than 1.4 million Panasonic products sold in the U.S. last November and December. The inserts were designed to educate consumers about the Energy Star program and thank them for making a sound purchase decision toward energy-efficient electronic products.
"Panasonic continually demonstrates commitment to energy efficiency and conservation through the Energy Star initiatives," said Mark Sharp, group manager of Panasonic's corporate environmental department. "This campaign gave us a great opportunity to encourage Americans to look for Energy Star-qualified products as they shopped for the holidays."
According to the EPA, the typical household can save up to 30 percent on its energy bills, or about U.S. $400 a year, by choosing Energy Star-qualified products.

Man charged with setting fire at historic Claymont building
A homeless man is arrested for the fire that caused $500,000 in damage to a historic building in Claymont last month.
The State Fire Marshal's office says 43-year-old Shawn Gibson has been charged with attempted murder for the Aug. 12 fire, which heavily damaged the former site of the Coach House Restaurant at 2600 Philadelphia Pike.
Gibson was arrested by the Division of Gaming Enforcement at Dover Downs Tuesday night for theft, which led to the discovery that he had several warrants out for his arrest.
The building, which was constructed in 1899, most recently contained The Bourbon Street Grill but was closed last year.
Gibson is being held on $76,000 cash bail.

Vertical Temperature Profile Radiometer (VTPR) Data
|Data Description
The Vertical Temperature Profile Radiometer (VTPR) was an operational 8-channel sounding system mounted on the NOAA-2 through NOAA-5 spacecrafts. The instrument made routine observations for deriving atmospheric temperature soundings. The measurement covered more than six years of observation from November 1972 to February 1979.
A thorough description of the VTPR instrument has been provided by McMillin et al. (1973). The instrument scans perpendicular to the satellite motion, from left to right facing the direction of travel, in 23 discrete steps. Fields of view, scanning times, and apparent motion on the earth provide spot pixels which are contiguous both across and along the orbital track. The VTPR sounder has a horizontal resolution of 55km x 57km at the nadir and 67km x 91km at the end of scan. The image to the right shows an example of VTPR channel 8 brightness temperature measurements taken from NOAA-5 during a 6-hour period starting at 0600 UTC, February 1, 1979.
click on image for larger view
Each file of the dataset contains six hours of VTPR measurement. To facilitate the understanding of each file!s general data characteristics, descriptive quality control statistics associated with each file are computed. Time series of the statistical plots are produced. Separate plots were created to show number of pixels in each file, the standard deviation of the channel brightness temperatures, and the mean, minimum, and maximum values. These are provided in PNG file and Postscript file formats.
Data Description
The data can be obtained through an OpenDAP server or through anonymous ftp.
Each of the VTPR files store six hours of data with the following filename format:

Gabriela and Ernesto work on a Habitat home in Veracruz.
By Heather Wilkinson
Veracruz University students Gabriela Flores Mendoza and Ernesto Siu Aponte didn't hesitate to respond to an invitation that was put forth to all students at their university to help with the Jimmy Carter Work Project 2004.
Gabriela and Ernesto agree that building with Habitat has been a life-changing experience and a chance to learn outside of the usual classroom setting. "I've learned to do things I've never done before," says Gabriela.
Both students have also enjoyed getting to know the partner family that they are building with this week. "They really appreciate what they have and don't waste anything," says Ernesto.
Students like Gabriela and Ernesto who dedicate their time to build houses with families in need are vital to Habitat's house-building work. This year, students from across Mexico came together to help build houses for 75 families in Veracruz.

Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder Reviews
Smooth and Silk LikeI do not use powder much but when I do this is my go to. It is smooth and silky and does not change colors throughout the day. I use it only on certain areas of the face and sometimes lightly over cream eyeshadow. — 2 years, 9 months agoShanthiDevi | 100 reviews

Good Product!I love how this finishes off my face. It is smooth, like silk. It is a bit over priced and the only downfall is that I feel like I can't get the perfect amount on the brush. If I get too much on it, there isn't really anywhere to tap it without wasting product.....But it works great!! — 6 years, 7 months agomvap47 | 345 reviews

Acnegenic and overpriced.The formula contains talc which has been linked to cancer (they say the powder is akin to asbestos and is dangerous to inhale) And Cornstarch which is ancegenic and comedogenic. Cornstarch and rice flour are popular alternatives to talc, however, being derived from food means they can harbor bacteria, therefore causing clogged pores and acne. Plus the price is outrageous. — 3 years, 7 months agoluxylexi | 234 reviews

Not only does it help with oil control (something that most products don't) it is also one of the VERY few powders I can wear that isn't too dark for my skin. This is one of two powders that I will ever use. I am very satisfied. — 6 years, 7 months agoEireItalia | 277 reviews

Wonderful!By far my favorite powder! My friend allowed me to try some of hers and I fell in love with it. It stays on all day and looks very natural. It keeps my face looking matte and shine free. This is one of the only powders I have found that is not too dark for my skin (I have very pale skin and it's hard to find powders that match). This product is definitely worth the money! — 4 years, 11 months agoGeekyChic | 226 reviews

One of the BestAlthough there are a few very good drugstore loose powders this on is SOOOOO great-though the price is a little steep. But it does everything a good powder should do and more-other than clean itself up after you use it!! It sets your make-up really well and has just enough shimmer to highlight your complextion and make it look soft and pretty without looking like costume. Colors and smell are ...read morenice too. The more is the shimmer-really fabulous look. So I love almost everything about it. — 4 years, 11 months agoOhMandy | 199 reviews
Great product!Keeps my make up in place, keeps me matte , and it's slight white tint boosts my highlighting above my cheeks, chin, bridge of my nose and central forehead (which are also my oiliest parts so that's a bonus)! I'd definitely buy this again and recommend it to oily skins and people who need their make up to stay in place! — 8 months, 2 weeks agonina_thandeka_mogensen | 6 reviews
The BESTThis is the absolute best setting powder I have ever bought in my life! It's a tad on the expensive side, although you do not need much and it is completely worth it! — 1 year, 4 months agomeikris | 2 reviews
One of the best out there!This was the first setting powder I ever used. It was recommended to me by a Sephora associate, and although I've tried others, I seem to keep coming back to this. I use the translucent formula, and the result is a satin finish to the skin that lasts most of the day. It does not leave me cakey, or with a white-cast face. It seems a bit pricey, but you're getting a lot of product that should last a...read more good 10 months or so. Like I said, I've tried many loose powders, but seem to always come back to this. In many ways, it provides the most natural and soft finish in comparison to other products. — 2 years, 11 months agoLaSarah | 48 reviews

The Vampire Diaries Round Table: "The Ties That Bind"by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
A pair of family reunions dominated the latest episode of The Vampire Diaries, while Stefan showed some heart and Alaric displayed some stupidity.
Which scene stood out the most? How excited are we to welcome back Elijah? Join Round Table panelists Matt Richenthal, Steve Marsi, Dan Forcella and Eric Hochberger now as they break down "The Ties That Bind..."
What was your favorite scene from the episode?
Matt: Abby texting to Bonnie while the random hybrid dude stood nearby. She made Leonardo DiCaprio in The Descendants look like a text messaging amateur!
Steve: As Matt sums up very well in his review, there's almost too much going on from which to choose, or know what to invest ourselves in at this point. I was probably most interested in Tyler's storyline, though. Can Caroline's dad really fix him, and will he be the key to bringing down Klaus if so? It makes one wonder, and half-close one's eyes during every terrifying transition scene.
Dan: My favorite was Stefan's reaction to finding out about the kiss. At first it seems he's in shock, which is why he just walks away quietly, but then he gets angry and gives his bro a good right hook to the jaw.
Eric: Sure, it's cheesy to pick the obligatory TVD cliffhanger as my favorite scene, but the second I saw that dagger in Damon's hand I eagerly thought... Elijah!? And they delivered to a giddy fan.
Did you feel bad for Stefan when Elena told him about the kiss?
Matt: I did. It's been clear for a couple weeks now that Stefan is in denial. Of course he has the same feelings for Elena as always, he's just been acting out and focusing on Klaus because he didn't want to face the harsh, snark-filled reality: she's fallen for Damon.
Steve: I had mixed emotions, which speaks to the brilliance of this love triangle and the performance of all the actors (I'll elaborate more in question #4).
Dan: I did. I don't really know why, because he's been an absolute ass hole as of late, but I felt bad for the guy. The bro code is one thing, but the actual brother code puts things on a whole other level. As much as he knew Damon wanted Elena all this time, I bet he never actually considered something happening between them. It was pretty heart-wrenching.
Eric: Since FIOS decided I didn't need those 10 seconds, I cannot possibly answer this based on his actual reaction. But, either way, yes! Poor guy threw away his humanity to save Damon, only for him to violate the bro(ther) code.
Stupider course of action: Alaric telling Meredith about his ring; Elena leaving out the sheet that identified Abby; or Abby not thinking ahead when she took Jaime in years ago?
Matt: Abby taking in Jaime. Look, there are certain precautions you need to take when you're a powerless witch on the run. Foremost among them: do not invite others to live under your roof in case your past one day catches back up to you and a half-vampire/half-werewolf compels your quasi son to take action that threatens multiple lives. This is Former Powerful Witchery 101.
Steve: Alaric was distracted by Dr. Fell's hotness and Abby was dealing with some pretty significant external factors at the time, so both of them can be forgiven. Elena leaving out the sheet would never happen in real life, though. No one involved in any sort of covert activity would commit a blunder that obvious, save for O.J. leaving one bloody glove he wore while murdering his wife at his house and the other at hers. The Juice may have been acquitted, but in having Elena leave evidence simply to lead Stefan to her, TVD writers are guilty of a semi-weak plot device.
Dan: It has to be Alaric telling Meredith about his ring. This is life and death. He has that ring to protect him from dying, and whether he thinks the good doctor is a supernatural or not, he should tell no one about his life-saving ring. What a moron.
Eric: Hotness or not, you save talk about your live-saving ring for pillow talk! Everyone knows you can only trust a woman after...
More welcome return: Elijah, Bill Forbes or a semblance of humanity in Stefan?
Matt: I'm not sure if it makes sense within the show itself - didn't Elijah prove his loyalty to Stefan on the season two finale? - but gotta go with the obvious answer here: good to see you, E.
Steve: The latter. Ancillary characters come, go, die and come back to life so haphazardly that I'm rarely surprised, even by the better ones. I love the many layers of Stefan, however. Will his humanity ultimately win out? Will he snap and go off the rails like a bloodthirsty sociopath again? Paul Wesley and the writers are great at keeping us guessing every week.
Dan: Elijah! The dude is completely awesome. It really doesn't matter who he sides with, now that he's awake, he's going to be as cool and ruthless as ever, and it's going to be amazingly fun to watch. Did you see that heart-ripping bit? There will be more of that to come, and I welcome that more than anything else.
Eric: Did I not answer this with number-one? Elijah! I love me some HRG as much as the next former Heroes fan, but the Originals are a little more developed in my TVD heart.
Is Elena really better than both Salvatore brothers?
Matt: Is that really the point? We can't help who we fall in love with, can we? If the question were as simple as with whom we were best matched ethically, Elena would still be with Matt. But that guy is so boring I fell asleep before finishing this sentence.
Steve: If you define "better" as not having slaughtered hundreds of innocent people during various "ripper" phases throughout life, then yeah.
Dan: No. I paraphrase Zachery Ty Bryan in the movie First Kid when I say that I don't think Elena is better than... anybody. And even if she was, you can't be better than Damon and Stefan Salvatore. Well, unless you're Klaus, then you are just God's gift to earth, and you can do no wrong in my book.
Eric: Sorry Elena, nobody is better than Damon. Nope, Dan, not even Klaus.
Which is more painful, transforming into a werewolf or giving birth?
Matt: Transforming into a werewolf, no doubt.
Steve: Transforming into a werewolf, hands down.
Dan: Transforming into a werewolf, without question.
Eric: Transforming into a werewolf, d'uh.

1. Favorite scene
The confession. It brought up so many important facts: Stefan still cares, Stefan is a multi-layered badass anti-hero, Elena can't choose, and Stelena needs a proper breakup. Oh and that Stefan needs a new love interest (Katherine anyone?) 2. Stelena + kiss
Since it wasn't a Stelena kiss, yeah. Even though he expected it to happen, it still hurts to know that you brother violated the bro(ther) code. This time neither was even compelled. 3. Stupidity
All of them. But this ep shows that Alaric needed to get some realllly badly. Why else would someone divulge a get-out-of-being-murdered-by-supernaturals jail card if it wasn't to ultimately bang them to oblivion?
@Mel:i wish i could say the same to you and just say "i don't care about stelena anymore" not "nobody care about stelena anymore" coz there are some people who still like may be not the same as before but there are alot of people who think that bad ass stefan is more fun and is better off without elena.I know majority of TVD fans are delena shippers and that's fine,i have nothing against that.
@stefelema: Your such a fangirl troll. Get a life, nobody cares about stelena anymore
@shovonni:Tell u what i love damon too,i just love stefan more and i didn't say everybody should agree with me coz people have different opinions so ease up.
1. Elijah. Were there any other options?
2. Definitely. I adore Stefan and that had to hurt no matter how much he was pushing her away. Paul was amazing in that scene.
3. Alaric telling fell all his dirty little secrets. You don't tell pychos all your biz and certainly don't expose your weakness in the form of a supernatural ring. I wanted to smack him.
4. Seriously? Elijah!
5. Not the slightest.
6. Men...
@Stefelena: just deal with the fact that people love Damon and disagree with you. I also agree with Annie. Elijah was the best part of a lacking ahow this week
Question 1: ELIJAH!! As soon as I saw him I started screaming with joy (and I didn't stop for several minutes).
Question 2: Yes, the guy is in love with her and she just told him she kissed his brother. Of course I feel bad for him, doesn't mean I didn't love THE KISS though.
Question 3: Alaric and Meredith. She uses vampire blood. His best friend is a vampire. And he doesn't even know her, why would you tell her about the ring? I wonder if this was just a way for the writers to move the plot forward.
Question 4: ELIJAH!!!!
Question 5: In a way, maybe. But really, no. Everyone makes mistakes, some more some less, it doesn't necessarily make a person better than another.
Question 6: I'm a woman, it's my duty to say child birth.
Annie i think both stefan and damon has a dark past and they both have their good and bad sides.I don't think as of now people are pointing out the negetive side of damon coz he's changed into a better person,stefan has a dark past way morethan damon,he was a ripper for almost half a centuary,but damon too kill for fun,he may not be a ripper but he kills as well and remember uptill now we doesn't know what damon has done for the last 145 except may be trying to get kat out of the tomb and you know its very easy to forget someone's bad actions when he's done some preety good things like wise its very easy to forget someone's good deed's when he did something terrible which is exactly what's happening between damon and stefan.I don't think elena is better than the salvatores,each one of them has his own flaws.
Team Elena vs Team Originals perhaps?
Or will Elijah join forces with team Elena ? We will see...
annie i gotta say they've both had bad pasts. and you cant defend one and blame the other, honestly i think stefan's 'bad past' makes his character more interesting, his undieing love for elena through all of that and her exeptance of what he was just proves how perfect and completly in love they are. and stefan killing people for fun happened and damon did the same, but he also changed vicky because he was..bored?! an eternity of bloodlust and pain is worse than death in my opinion, it can be good if your strong enough to control yourself, most people aren't.

How To Make a Memorable Product Tag
As I outlined in my post earlier this week, having a product tag is an essential part of branding and packaging your products. It's all part of your branding suite, along with your logo, business cards and stationery. Today's Byte-Syze Learning tutorial will take you step-by-step through making a simple, but memorable, product tag. (Psst: Even if your craft business isn't up and running yet, you can use this tutorial to make holiday gift tags!)
A product tag is a form of branding that is attached to your products, unlike a business card, which is usually separate. It should include your logo, business name, and some sort of contact information, whether it be a website, phone number, or a bricks-and-mortar store address. After these basic elements, the sky is the limit in terms of what other bells and whistles you'd like to incorporate into the tag design.
Why is it important?
I like to think of a tag as a back-up advertisement. Often business cards can be lost or discarded, while product tags usually stick around longer, because they are attached to the item that your customer bought. Product tags also make a product look more professional, and will remind the customer that they purchased it from you when it's time to re-order. It is just another way to repeat your name – reinforcing your business name is always a good thing.
What you will need:
- Cardstock in three colors that suits your brand image
- A sticker/image of your logo
- Ruler
- Pencil/pen
- Glue
- Mounting tape
- Eyelet Punch
- Eyelet to match paper color
- Scissors
Step 1: Determine your tag size
Depending on the size of the products you sell, you can create one generic tag for all your products, or you can create different tags to go with different products. For this tutorial, I am making a 4- by 2-inch hang tag.
Step 2: Cut your card stock
Cut your base color cardstock to 4 by 2 inches, and then cut your second color to 3.75 by 1.75. Cut your last color of cardstock to 3.5 x 1.5. These three colors will be layered to create your tag.
Step 3: Glue
Put glue on the back of the second-largest cardstock piece (this will be the middle layer).
Step 4: Attach middle layer
Adhere the middle layer to the largest cardstock layer.
Step 5: Attach logo
Take your smallest piece of cardstock (this will be the top layer), and stick your logo sticker or image on this piece.
Step 6: Get your tape
Apply mounting tape to the back of the top layer of cardstock.
Step 7: Stick it all together
Add your top layer to the top of your two other levels to make up your tag.
Step 8: Get your hole punch
Punch a hole in the bottom layer, in the center of the edge of your choice.
Step 9: Add a professional touch
Then, with your eyelet tool, add your metal eyelet to this hole.
Step 10: Personalize it
If you like, you can now add a little hand-written note to your customer to make the tag even more personal. Your customers will appreciate it!
Step 11: You're done!
There you have it. Your own product tag. From here, you can customize your future tags however you like to match your brand image. Happy creating!

Home for BARGE 2010 will be at Binion's Casino in beautiful downtown Las Vegas, NV.
BARGE is the Big August Rec.Gambling Excursion (to Las Vegas). This is our annual venture out of cyberspace into the Real World in which we get together to meet our most favorite/notorious Usenet personalities face-to-face, participate in several BARGE-private events, and generally blow off steam (not hard to do in Las Vegas in August).
The official events for BARGE 2010 will begin on August 3 and end on August 7. It is possible that some of these events or times may change between now and the opening of registration.
(*) Players must be registered as a significant other to play. This is intended to be a fun beginner's event. Please do not register for this if you have any significant poker experience. If you've won a BARGE SO event before, or have played in SO events for two or more straight years, we strongly encourage you to step up to one of the main events. You're ready! Make the jump!
(**) Players in the Blackjack tournament are expected to toke the dealers. Players in the Video Poker tournament are expected to toke the tournament staff.
(***) The 6 games will be: Hold'em, Omaha/8, Razz, Stud, Stud/8, and Chowaha.
We're taking a break from our longer tournaments when the final table is formed to allow for other events. The final table will be played later in the evening as shown.
BARGE is seeking sponsorship from interested parties to help defray some of the fees listed above. If you're reading this and are interested in sponsoring BARGE please contact Peter Secor at the email address at the bottom of this page.
A generic set of BARGE tournament structures is available. The 2010 tournaments will follow these structures.
Teams (6 people) should appoint a captain, then have the captain email Michael "Mickdog" Patterson with the team name and a listing of all team members with their email addresses. Entries will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Fees are not paid in advance with BARGE registrations. Team captains must pay the entire $420 on-site 1/2 hour prior to the tourney.
The banquet will be held on Saturday evening 8/7/2010 at 7:00pm at the Binion's banquet room on the second floor directly above the poker tournament area (formerly known as Benny's Bullpen.)
The banquet speaker will be Barry Tanenbaum.
We have a block of rooms available at the Four Queens for no more than $22/night on weekdays and $49/night on weekends. Reservation details will be sent with your registration confirmation.
BARGE 2010 registration is now closed.
In order to join the waiting list for any tournament(s), you MUST prepay all registration and entry fees. If you are unable to participate, refunds will be made following BARGE. You may not join the waiting list for a tournament after registration closes.
The waiting list will be cleared as spaces become available in the order you have signed up, until the start of BARGE. After the start of BARGE waiting lists will be cleared at 30 minutes prior to the start of each tournament. You must be present at that time to receive a seat if one is available.
In conjunction with this policy, we'll accept cancellations of tournament entries, in person, up until one hour before a tournament. If the cancellation is done via e-mail it must be received at least 24 hours prior to the tournament and is subject to having been received in time by the organizers. In the event of connectivity problems we may not be able to read the e-mail.
Refunds for canceled seats are subject to our being able to resell your seat to someone on the wait list.
In our never-ending quest to simplify the registration process (for the organizers, if not for you) registrations must be paid for at registration time or they will not be accepted. Visa and Mastercard are the preferred payment mechanisms.
Registrations are limited to members of the rec.gambling.* community. The organizers reserve the right to deny participation in any or all BARGE events to anyone, at their discretion. Registrations must be performed online and by the registrant personally (no third-party registrations). An exception is made for Significant Others.
Upon payment of the appropriate event fee you may register guests for any of the non-tournament events (banquet, symposium). No additional registration fee applies.
A registration is to be considered an exclusive agreement between the registrant and the BARGE Organizers, and may not be assigned to another party without their prior agreement.
Should any event (or all events) associated with BARGE be canceled, BARGE's limitation of liability is the amount of the fee paid for the canceled event. In no case will the $25 registration fee be refunded as it covers costs we incur at the time of registration.
All registrations are final. Cancellations and additions to your BARGE registration will be done through the close of registration and are subject to a non-refundable $25.00 fee. Refunds for cancellations after the close of registration are at the sole discretion of the BARGE organizers. In no case will the $25.00 registration fee be refunded. No refunds will be issued until September 2010.
All fees mentioned are used to cover expenses or are placed into the BARGE fund.
Please bring all charge disputes to the attention of the organizers prior to contacting your bank. Anyone who files a dispute with a bank prior to trying to resolve the problem with the organizers will be barred from attending this or any future BARGE.
We maintain two mailing lists for those attending or planning on attending BARGE. Everyone who is registering for or is planning to register for BARGE should be on the barge-announce mailing list. This list is low volume and is used for official notifications by the BARGE organizers. To subscribe to this list go to http://www.barge.org/mailman/listinfo/barge-announce.
The other list is for general discussions about BARGE, BARGE members, topics peripheral to the lives of BARGE members, stray thoughts that randomly occur to BARGE members... . This list is decidedly not low volume, and subscribers will be exposed to strongly held opinions with which they do not agree. http://www.barge.org/mailman/listinfo/barge.
All BARGE events are non-smoking.
BARGE is being organized by Peter Secor, Michael "mickdog" Patterson, and Nick Christenson, with more than occasional advice and emergency help from Chuck Weinstock, BARGE organizer, emeritus. We also wish to give a "shout out" to BARGE elder statesman and former organizer, Mike Zimmers.

I don't use setByMatrix() as there are limitations to what can actually be set by it, so I'm not sure if it's working OK for trackball. As you can see from the code, the eye and rotation can be recovered from the matrix, but not the focus position of the manipulator. This makes it difficult to properly hand over from one manipulator to another.

Urine samples
Urine samples are quantities of urine collected to investigate the function of different body systems, particularly the kidneys and urinary tract.
© Jupiter
Urine tests can provide information about the condition of the urinary tract to help to confirm a diagnosis. Urine also reflects changes in blood chemistry associated with disorders of other systems, such as diabetes mellitus.
How are urine samples obtained?
Urine samples are collected in a sterile container. Before collecting the sample, clean your genital area with soap and water. Then pass a small amount of urine into the toilet and stop urinating. When you start to pass urine again, collect some of the urine in the container. For some tests, you may need to collect all the urine you pass over 24 hours.
If you need to collect a urine sample from a baby or a small child, your doctor may give you an adhesive bag and a sterile container. Wash your child's genital area, dry it, and attach the bag around his or her genitals, then transfer the urine to the container. Or the doctor may pass a catheter through the urethra and into the child's bladder.
Your doctor may make an assessment of your urine in the surgery by carrying out simple dipstick tests to detect evidence of infection or traces of protein or blood, but in many cases, the sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis.
