When Jason at DVNation told me that the new PhotoFast G-Monster V5 was approaching the limits of the SATA 3.0 spec, I really didn't know what to think. PhotoFast has made a big marketing push over the last couple of months and there was a time when it seemed that every other day a new press release hit my inbox. Hitting my email inbox is quite a bit different than hitting my door step and over the years I have pretty much come to the realization that press releases aren't worth much more than the paper they could be printed on. Three days ago my initial thoughts of PhotoFast change. This was the day I finally put one of the companies solid state drives in my test system.
The PhotoFast G-Monster V5 might have a funny name, but don't let it fool you. When this drive is installed the only thing funny is the goofy grin on your face. The drive does approach the limits of the SATA 3.0 spec; it also managed to saturate my aging nForce 3500 workstation SATA controller. This level of performance doesn't come cheap but we will get into the pricing on the next page because the technology involved is way more important to worry about the price just yet.
Inside of the traditional 2.5 inch form factor drive rests two solid state drives attached to an internal RAID controller. Everything fits very snug inside the case and I couldn't even begin to imagine the amount of engineering time involved to make this product possible. Let's take a look at the specifications and see what is inside!

"So EVERYONE is held accountable"
Just don't tell anyone at the State Dept, in the White House or the folks at Treasury who still haven't paid their taxes…

Here is a question for them Why does it take AF-1 two and a half hours to get to Vegas and 7 1/2 hours to get back?? Just curious. What, they take the long way home?
- January 29, 2013 at 4:49 pm
Even PT doesn't account for it.

Did you just hear this petty minded little despot? If the bipartisan group doesn't move fast enough or as he thinks is right he will step in as he sees fit.
Seriously this is a dangerous man and he's deluded himself into thinking he's
a divine ruler. I thought Japan's emperor was deluded after the bomb but he
can't hold a candle to Obama.- January 29, 2013 at 3:15 pm
Who is going to call Dear Leader Obama out…?
The propaganda 'media'? -LOL!
The cess-pool 'Congress'? -LOL!
The useless 'Supreme Court' -LOL!- January 29, 2013 at 6:15 pm
Slow down Spook! If you add the mindless blind followers to your list, you and a few of your buddies are the only ones left! ;)
I'll try and cheer you up… Since Keith was in the mood…
"The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the moldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast
And the days are dark and dreary.Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary."HWL

Why is FNC covering this LIVE?
If I watch to watch every word spoken by Dear Leader I would watch CNN or MSNBC.
I watch FNC to GET AWAY from Obama coverage!
I understand Meg Kelly and especially Shep Smith are lazy 'news readers'; they cut to any LIVE thing so they dont have to do their shows, but this is insulting… I DO NOT WANT TO SEE-HEAR ANYTHING OBAMA HAS TO SAY! Hey Shep "liberal panties" Smith, read some gawd-damn REAL NEWS! - January 29, 2013 at 3:33 pm
Surprisingly, Mr. Obama was several minutes early for this campaign speech. Maybe he moved his watch "forward".
- January 29, 2013 at 3:38 pm
"Most of us used to be them" "They faced ridicule".
How dare this usurper compare legal immigrants who sailed across oceans to arrive at Ellis Island with papers in hand to millions of undocumented, unskilled, poverty-stricken third-world border jumpers who break our immigration laws and drain our resources. What an insult!!- January 29, 2013 at 3:54 pm
I doubt Obama could find Ellis Island with both hands and a map.
- January 29, 2013 at 4:49 pm
Hear, hear! See my comment below.

When I go for my walkies I'll listen to Rush and caught his Marco Rubio interview today. I guess Rubio isn't afraid of talking to Rush … or Obama for that matter :D

Was it worth all the money to fly to Vegas?- January 29, 2013 at 4:32 pm
Saw the beginning of it on Fox. Couldn't even get past all the cockiness and thank you's before I shut the TV off. I'll get the skinny on his speech from Mark Levin tonight. He is the best interpreter of the demagogue's words.

I mean Gretchen…she really does look like a Gretchen.
- January 29, 2013 at 4:26 pm
He doesn't uphold the current immigration laws. What difference would another law passed by Congress make? Rush is right, this administration moves from crisis to crisis keeping us all in state of turmoil. Just yesterday they were threatening to take away our guns and today they're threatening our national sovereignty. The man is lawless and he will do whatever he chooses to do. Agree with Langley – who's going to stop him?
- January 29, 2013 at 4:47 pm
Fox says 66% in favor of immigration reform. I have mixed feelings because for the past 5 years I have been coaching Latinos with permanent residence permits to get their citizenship. These people have paid c. $1,000 for that residence permit (as well as being legally sponsored), c. $800 to apply for citizenship, and they study hard to become proficient in English, American history and the Constitution. Now, 11 million more will have the path made smooth and easy for them. If anything, it seems very unfair to me to those people who have pursued the legal path.
- January 29, 2013 at 5:08 pm
Amen I have watched many times the history of the immigrants who
came thru Ellis Island. Very moving the sheer effort it took and they
worked hard to get the money to come in the front door and even that was no guarantee you could stay. The ill and others not deemed fit
often went back on the same ship they came on sadly. These people
are the heart soul and backbone of American greatness. They didn't
sneak in they played by the rules. - January 29, 2013 at 5:08 pm
Not buying those poll results. Guess it's all a matter of how you phrase the questions. I'm totally on board with legal immigration. Legal immigrants, especially those who take classes to become naturalized citizens, have a greater appreciation for the freedom and liberty bestowed on us by our founding documents than most American-born citizens. Giving lawbreakers a cut in line ahead of those who followed the rules is immoral and un-American in my opinion.
- January 30, 2013 at 8:19 am
As always, I have to ask, "What part of ILLEGAL immigrant don't these people understand?" Allowing illegals a free ride is a slap in the face to every single immigrant who ever came to North America legally, by jumping through the hoops, and by paying for the privilege. Admitting millions of illegal, unskilled people into the country when jobs are already so scarce, and the social benefit system nearly bankrupt, is a huge mistake.
- January 29, 2013 at 5:02 pm
First good news the 'event' has concluded. Bad news Hanoi Kerry is confirmed as Sec of State I'm sure he will do as swell a job as Barry's BFF
Hillary did.:-( - January 29, 2013 at 7:05 pm
First generation American, child of immigrants from Eastern Europe. Assimilation was key. Family customs and values from the "old country" were practiced at home as appropriate. My father served this country proudly in two wars. We are Americans. Pure and simple and un hyphenated.
I am all for legal immigration. Secure the borders. Enforce existing laws. Go from there.
And it would behoove the President to remember that we are a nation of laws. America was here before him and America will be here after him. He is living on our dime, he serves at our pleasure. He is a public servant.

The new model, released about two months ago, allows users to test 999 points compared with the previous model's 99-point capacity, said Rob Clancy, director of sales.
AccuPoint 2.0 also has a larger color screen and a more descriptive test site for easier recordkeeping.

The site includes photos, and how-to videos are planned as well, Leiterman said.
North Shore's Living Herbs are all grown in Thermal and are available throughout the U.S. and Canada, she said.

We all have heard of one-liners since were children, like a penny saved is a penny earned and a stitch in time saves nine by Americas Ben Franklin. Then there was Mark Twain. A person who wont read has no advantage over those who dont and age is an issue of mind over matter, so if you dont mind, it doesnt matter. One guy that kept us laughing during the great depression of the 1930s was good ol Will Rogers. A fool and his money are soon parted. Democrats never agree on anything, if they did, theyd be Republicans. Remember Yogi Berras when you come to fork in the road, take it! And we are at a fork in the road!
Even going back to the beginnings of this world we find all kinds of one-liners in the first book of Moses. And there is Jesus with His sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. You can find one-liners from Aristotle like love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies, and from Socrates like be as you wish to seem. Winston Churchill credited his longevity just to conserving energy, very much in line with using one-liners.
Americans sung Dwight D. Eisenhower into the presidency with I love Ike, who replaced Harry S. Truman who went by the buck stops here! And you all know our present president Obama bounced into office with yes we can! However, after a couple of years this one-liner seems to have been forgotten! The can seems to have been lost! What happened? Perhaps is has been replaced by the deficit can that Congress and the President keep kicking down the road. Yes we can! is now kick the can! The one-liners politicians can successfully use to accomplish things have turned into paragraphs, long paragraphs which are not easily understood and that seem to address everything except what we must do.
So what can Americans do? We can pray! In our old hymn book the liturgy has prayers for the President and Congress and all those in authority! Pray for righteousness in government and punishment of the evil that is running through our communities! Pray for presidential sight and hearing! And here are our one-liners to follow: Quit kicking the can. Stop spending. Wipe out the deficit. Balance the budget.
It will be toughhard times! But we are American and there are enough of us yet to do it! America is still the hope of many people throughout the world. It will be tough but we can do it. Yes we can! But we need to remember that it must start at the top, that is, with the President and the Congress cutting their salaries and pensions. So to them we say, Mr. President, Congress, if you can, we the people can! Sine cera

Another first, which was also part of the Lindsays' sophisticated approach to public relations, was the invention of the glittering opening reception. But every bit as important as all this hype was the new approach to art presentation first put forward at the Grosvenor. The Lindsays broke with the tradition of salon-style hanging, in which paintings were displayed in a dense floor-to-ceiling arrangement. Instead, paintings at the Grosvenor were hung with plenty of room between them to better facilitate viewing. And if the show at the DAM is any indication, these were fabulous pictures to view.
Some of the most interesting work in the show comes from the Pre- Raphaelites and their followers. These fine paintings illustrate the artists' interest not only in early Italian art, but in other exotic topics that were part and parcel of the Aesthetic movement, then the avant-garde in British art. Aestheticism in turn anticipated symbolism, a genuine precursor to modernism--and symbolism is surely what the Pre-Raphaelite William Holman Hunt was concerned with in his magnificent oil painting (in an unbelievably beautiful frame) "Afterglow in Egypt." This oil on canvas, painted between 1854 and 1863, was exhibited when the Grosvenor first opened in 1877.
The breathtaking "Laus Veneris," a gigantic oil on canvas from 1872-73 by second-generation Pre-Raphaelite Sir Edward Burne-Jones, stops viewers in their tracks as they exit the elevator on the museum's top floor. The semi-recumbent Venus is not the ripe love goddess we might expect but a tired and melancholy woman apparently worn out by her duties. The romance of suffering was certainly in the air during the nineteenth century, and painters like Burne-Jones were among its chief proponents. Sir John Melhuish Strudwick, a former studio assistant of Burne-Jones, takes the same approach in "Isabella," an 1879 oil on canvas.
Despite the description of the Pre-Raphaelites as a brotherhood, many women were among the movement's adherents, and the Grosvenor took a special interest in their work--a radical idea at the time. "An Unprofessional Beauty," an 1880 oil on canvas by Valentine Prinsep, is not just a painting of a woman by a woman but an expression of the new values that the women associated with the movement championed. The title refers to the fact that the seated woman in the portrait has dispensed with the corsets and bustles of the age and adorned herself instead with unstructured garments of velvet and lace--the Victorian version of bra-burning.
Among the other talented women whose work appears in the show at the DAM are Marie Spartali Stillman and Evelyn Pickering De Morgan. De Morgan is responsible for one of the show-stoppers here, a large oil on canvas from 1879 entitled "Night and Sleep," which depicts two intertwined figures floating through the sky and dropping poppies to the ground--just like the witch in The Wizard of Oz, curator Denney points out.
Of course, the Grosvenor didn't just focus on the Pre-Raphaelite movement and its progeny. Also represented were various other currents in the British art of the day, including naturalism and impressionism. It is perhaps a hybrid of these two that best describes the work of the most famous of the Grosvenor artists, the American painter James MacNeill Whistler, who was then living in London. In an oil on canvas like "Thames--Nocturne in Blue and Silver," from 1872-78, Whistler's imprecise approach to detail stands in stark contrast to the fanatical realism of the Pre-Raphaelites. It's not surprising to find that Burne-Jones was no admirer of Whistler.
The Grosvenor closed in 1890, the victim of financial difficulties only fourteen years after it had opened. The collapse came just a few years after the Lindsays' divorce, which according to Denney was the product of Sir Coutts's legendary womanizing. When Lady Lindsay left, taking her Rothschild fortune with her, the gallery's failure was more or less ensured. But in the short time it lasted, the Grosvenor changed the course of art appreciation. Many of the changes it imparted are today the ubiquitous features of the art world--all the way from London to right here in Denver.
The Grosvenor Gallery, through August 24 at the Denver Art Museum, 100 West 14th Avenue Parkway,640-2789.

Brain Metastasis
Brain metastasis is cancer that has spread within your brain or spreads from your body to your brain. Some examples are lung, breast, skin, and colon cancer. One or more tumors form in your brain.
Follow up with your primary healthcare provider or oncologist as directed:
Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits. Caregivers may suggest imaging tests, such MRI or PET scans, every 3 months. The imaging tests help check for new or returning tumors. Work with your caregivers to create a plan for follow-up care that is right for you.
- Steroids: This medicine helps reduce swelling in the head and body.
- Anticonvulsant medicine: This medicine helps decrease or stop seizures.
- Anticoagulants are a type of blood thinner medicine that helps prevent clots. Clots can cause strokes, heart attacks, and death. These medicines may cause you to bleed or bruise more easily.
- Watch for bleeding from your gums or nose. Watch for blood in your urine and bowel movements. Use a soft washcloth and a soft toothbrush. If you shave, use an electric razor. Avoid activities that can cause bruising or bleeding.
- Tell your caregiver about all medicines you take because many medicines cannot be used with anticoagulants. Do not start or stop any medicines unless your caregiver tells you to. Tell your dentist and other caregivers that you take anticoagulants. Wear a bracelet or necklace that says you take this medicine.
- You will need regular blood tests so your caregiver can decide how much medicine you need. Take anticoagulants exactly as directed. Tell your caregiver right away if you forget to take the medicine, or if you take too much.
- If you take warfarin, some foods can change how your blood clots. Do not make major changes to your diet while you take warfarin. Warfarin works best when you eat about the same amount of vitamin K every day. Vitamin K is found in green leafy vegetables, broccoli, grapes, and other foods. Ask for more information about what to eat when you take warfarin.
- Watch for bleeding from your gums or nose. Watch for blood in your urine and bowel movements. Use a soft washcloth and a soft toothbrush. If you shave, use an electric razor. Avoid activities that can cause bruising or bleeding.
- Take your medicine as directed. Call your healthcare provider if you think your medicine is not helping or if you have side effects. Tell him if you are allergic to any medicine. Keep a list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs you take. Include the amounts, and when and why you take them. Bring the list or the pill bottles to follow-up visits. Carry your medicine list with you in case of an emergency.
Manage the effects of brain metastasis:
- Avoid infections: Cancer treatments make it easier to get infections. Wash your hands often with soap and water. Carry germ-killing gel with you in case you do not have access to soap and water. Try to avoid people who have a cold or the flu.
- Stay safe: Cancer treatments can make you dizzy or sleepy. Prevent falls by calling someone when you get out of bed or if you need help. Ask your primary healthcare provider if it is safe for you to drive.
- Seek support from caregivers: The disease can change the way you act, think, and feel. Your memory, concentration, and ability to learn may decline. You may act without thinking or become more emotional. These changes can be very upsetting for you and your family. Talk to your primary healthcare provider about these changes and ask about continuing care, treatments, and home services. Go to all follow-up appointments.

In a letter to Shawn McKay, city finance director, the organization stated it was "affirming the stable outlook" for Cleveland.
The outlook is based on the ratings and a two-year projection.
"It's basically geared toward our ability to borrow and our ability to pay that back. It's a favorable comment or acknowledgement of the city's financial practices," McKay said. "When the city wants to do a project, say for instance the gym (replacing the Cleveland High School Raider Dome) they (the city of Cleveland) would go to the market and issue bonds. The higher the rating, the better the rating, the lower the risk that is involved in those bonds and the lower the interest rate."
He said the city's annual budget and audit are considered in determining a rating.
The rating agency then asks questions for more information. McKay said the process takes about three weeks.
"We believe Cleveland's budgetary flexibility is very strong with available revenues at 33.7 percent of operating expenditures in fiscal year 2013," Standard & Poor's said in its rationale of the rating. "In our opinion, very strong liquidity supports Cleveland's finances, with total government available cash at 26 percent of total government fund expenditures and at more than four times debt service."
The rationale went on to point out the strength of the municipality's debt and contingent liabilities profiles and pension payment program.
"It (the rating) just builds upon the fact that the city is well managed," McKay said. "We maintain adequate reserves to meet our financial obligations to operate the city, and I think having this increase in our rating in the long run will save us money on our interest cost. "

Lowepro Announces Fundraising Initiative for Polar Bears International
As part of their 40th anniversary celebration, Lowepro has announed a new fundraising intitiative to benefit Polar Bears International (PBI). Lowepro will be rolling out a new commemorative bag designed for professional photographers to mark the company's 40th anniversary. A percentage of the profits from the sale of the bag will go to PBI. It has been an ongoing tradition for Lowepro to partner with organizations that are focused on conservation efforts, including Amazon Watch, Raincoast Conservation Society and others. Details on the bag will be announced soon.
PBI's primary goals are to conserve the world's polar bears through research and education, and to serve as a central educational resource on polar bears worldwide. The threatened species is threatened by climate change due to global warming, pollution, poaching and industrial disturbances. All officers and directors for the organization serve without pay, so 100% of their revenue goes directly towards their research programming.

Yakima tackling pothole problem with new material
"We had kind of a small ditch in front of our driveway," said Bruce.
He's lived on Chestnut Avenue for more than 30 years. His ride will now be a lot smoother.
Crews are fixing potholes and large cracks with a new material called mastic. It lets them fix cracks and potholes that are wider than an inch quickly.
"Before, we would actually have to grind the old asphalt out and repave that at a lot higher expense," said Yakima Streets and Traffic Manager Joe Rosenlund. "So this saves us in the long run quite a bit of money."
Yakima spent $10,000 more on the new mastic material than the old crack fill material.
Elizabeth Conlon likes seeing the work done on her street.
"It's stuff that needs to be done, and I'm just glad they have the money to do those things because there are a lot of streets that do need fixing."
Rosenlund says the material can handle the elements and should provide a long-term solution. The old crack fill material only delayed the deterioration.
"We won't have to keep coming back and seeing the same spot over and over again," said Rosenlund. "We'll be able to move around the city and cover more of the city."
This is the first week the mastic is being used in Yakima outside of a trial period in the fall.
And, Bruce can say goodbye to his driveway ditch.
"Come see us this next year and we'll take a look at it again," said Bruce.
Potholes might have met their match.

Siphon Principle
Name: Leroy Status: educator Age: 20s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 2000-2001
I'm trying to verify something. During a lab on the structure of the heart, students used a siphon bulb and a mechanical bulb (only allows fluid to flow in one direction) in an attempt to see which was more efficient at moving a fluid. I demonstrated the ability of using the siphon bulb to begin the flow of water from one container to another as long as the opening of the outlet tube was lower than the water level of the intake tube. The questions of how this worked came up and I explained to students that it was due to atmospheric pressure. I began to doubt my explanation on the way home tonight. I found conflicting information on the internet. Some sites said it was due to atmospheric pressure and others said it was due to gravity. Can you confirm that it's due to atmospheric pressure or is it due to gravity. If it's gravity, can you explain to me so I can explain to the students?
Both pressure and gravity play a part in the flow of fluid. Pressure at each end pushes into the tube. Gravity pulls downward on the fluid in the tube. If the effect of the pressures work with gravity, the fluid will flow. If they work against gravity, the fluid may not flow.
The pressure at the surface of the water is air pressure. Gravity, the weight of the water, causes the pressure below the surface to be greater than air pressure. This difference in pressure, caused by gravity, is just enough to push water through the tube back up to the surface level(working against gravity). This relates to the "water seeking its own level" phenomenon. If the tube exit is above the water surface, the pressure cannot push the water high enough to reach the exit. If the tube exit is below the surface, the pressure can push the water beyond the exit.
Kenneth Mellendorf
It is atmospheric pressure, to verify and a slight correction, "I demonstrated the ability of using the siphon bulb to begin the flow of water from one container to another as long as the opening of the outlet tube was lower than the water level of the intake tube." is not exactly true. If you were to increase the distance of your siphon tube while you have a flow going from one tank to the other (lower) tank and you were to try to extend your tube over a wall of (I think its close to 30-37 feet) the siphon would break down. this is due to the suction pressure nears the vaporization pressure and the water starts to "boil" and slowly the water column in each half of the tube would fall out. If you can get a clear tube in the shape of a "U" or clear hosing for that section of tube, and use that as the top section of the siphon you can actually see vapor bubbles form as you go up in height. Michael Baldwin
A liquid moves from a higher elevation to a lower one due to its higher potential energy, the energy that it gained (or the work that was done on it) to lift it up against gravity to that higher elevation. Thus the answer to your question is gravity.
Atmospheric pressure between the two points in question are almost identical and cannot be the driving force in your experiment. It does not vary significantly unless one moves miles high. Atmospheric pressure is due to the the column of air extending many miles above, which in value corresponds, approximately, to the pressure exerted by a 10-m-tall column of water.
Ali Khounsary, Ph.D.

Both are required, and the surface tension of water is also important.
If the water in the tube was replaced by a train of tiny railroad cars connected together, everyone's intuition would lead them to the conditions under which the train will run. Gravity favors the operation when there is more mass going down than coming up. But, in a train, the cars are physically connected, and it's easy to see how the cars going down can pull the cars going up.
Imagine water again, filling the tube completely, and imagine that the exit end is not the highest point of the tube. All the water from the high point to the exit wants to fall one way; the rest of the water in the tube wants to fall the other way. If both got their way, there would be a vacuum created at the highest point in the tube. Atmospheric pressure will prevent this, and so in effect it fills the same role as the physical connections between railroad cars in the first example.
Tim Mooney
For a siphon to work, you need both. The gravity is necessary to provide a direction to the liquid flow: the liquid flows from the higher level to the lower level, reducing its overall gravitational potential energy. The atmospheric pressure is necessary to get the liquid to flow uphill to begin with.
In a siphon, the "downhill" side of the tube is longer than the "uphill" side. Once the siphon is going, there is consequently more liquid on the "downhill" side of the tube. Gravity pulls downward on the liquid on both sides, but the overall gravitational force on the downhill side is greater than the overall gravitational furce on the uphill side, just because there is more liquid to pull on. IF THE LIQUID IS NOT ALLOWED TO SEPARATE (form bubbles or the like), then the liquid on the heavier downhill side will pull the liquid on the lighter uphill side after it.
The need for atmospheric pressure comes in at the need to keep the liquid from separating. If atmospheric pressure were absent, there would be no reason for liquid to move up the tube after the liquid that preceeds it. It needs to have some pressure behind it, which is provided by the atmospheric pressure. The liquid preceeding it merely reduces the back-pressure by flowing away. If the atmospheric pressure is greater than the pressure of a column of the liquid with a height equal to the height difference between the top of the siphon and the level of the "uphill" liquid, then the liquid can flow through the siphon.

Rachel Uchitel, who holds the dubious honor of being the first woman linked to Tiger Woods, has landed herself a new, hard-to-get gig as a reporter for "Extra." Apparently, during a recent interview, she "so impressed producers that she's been offered a job as a special correspondent," explained a spokesperson for the show. In addition to covering nightlife hot spots, Rachel will get personal on the air—just not about Tiger—and discuss her quest to find a good man. [Radar]

I really want to like this color, I do ... but I can't seem to make it work. I've tried it as a lid color and as a crease color, both in vain. It's such a gorgeous color in the pan, but on my Medium skin (Italian), it looks more pink than purple. I foolishly did not return this because I was determined to find a way to make it work, and now I'm stuck with it because the 30 day return period has passed. I'm still determined to make this color work so if anyone has any suggestions, please PLEASE give me some tips.
I gave this 3 lippies because it really is a pretty color, just not on my coloring. I have since found one use for it ... when I create a smokey eye with carbon and some other colors, I lightly dust this on my lid. It's nothing to write home about, but at least I'm finding some kind of use for it. It's never a good thing when you have to mix a million colors just to get one color to work. ::sigh::
Update: 07/24/09 -- I have to say that I am really starting to love this shadow now that I know how to use it. I decided to leave my original review above just in case anyone else is feeling the same way I did when I first purchased this color. Play with the color -- you will find that it is actually a great shadow to have. I am happy with my purchase now and probably would repurchase (if I ever run out).

Love this shadow. My current use for it is to use the 219 to line my top lashline with this rather thickly then go back over it and draw a very thin line with liquid liner. The purple right next to my green eyes really make the color stand out and I get tons of compliments when I wear this. I haven't tried it in the crease yet, but I am sure that this would be awesome as part of a sultry smoky eye. Would definitely repurchase.

I love using this in a purple smoky eye look, or even as an all over wash. I am not normally a frost fan since I prefer glitter and shimmer (this tends to appear quite matte)...but this color is just perfect the way it is.
I need to start using this more often again, but it is not a color I would use when in a hurry. This color tends to need to be worked with to figure out how it is best used on your individual skin tone. If you don't like it play with it some more, it is just too pretty to give up.

I went to Nordstrom to see if they had Pink Fish TLC and some how ended up in the makeover chair during a spring fashion show at the store. It was loads of fun, learned some new makeup tricks, and the MA used Nocturnelle ES to create the most amazing violet smokey eye.
Constructivist PP: all over the lid (Metallic brown w/red pearl )
Nocturnelle ES: outer 1/2 of the lid (Pinked-up chrome purple)
Haux ES: in the crease (Soft muted rosy brown)
Graphology ES: outer v (Blackened purple-grey)
Brule ES: Highlight (Soft creamy-beige)
Graphblack Techkakohl Liner: waterline and lashline (Rich graphic black)
I would never have thought to use a brownish-red paint pot with a violet eyeshadow but it worked beautifully. I bought both Constructivist and Nocturnelle that day and tried recreating the look at home. Love it! My new favorite!
Nocturnelle is a frost. If you want something with less sheen but still a beautiful dark purple/violet try FIG. 1 (matte2)!

If you're looking for an ultracompact to leave in auto, the 300 HS is probably perfect for you. The shooting-mode switch on back of the camera has two options: one for Auto and a camera mode (that's what I'm calling it since it's designated by a picture of a camera). The camera mode gives you access to a Program Auto mode as well as all the scene modes, creative effects modes, and slow-motion video recording. (Check out the slideshow earlier in this review to see examples of the creative effects.) However, they're laid out in one long list, so if you're the type to change modes frequently, this can be a pain. Canon's Smart Shutter option is there, too, which includes a smile-activated shutter release as well as Wink and Face Detection self-timers. Wink allows you to set off the shutter simply by winking at the camera, and the Face Detection option will wait till the camera detects a new face in front of the camera before it fires off a shot. Both work well.
One of the biggest benefits to CMOS sensors is their fast speed compared with CCD sensors. That's certainly true of the 300 HS, getting a noticeable performance jump from the CCD-based SD1400 IS. On the other hand, it is slightly slower than CMOS-based ultracompacts from other manufacturers. The camera goes from off to first shot in 1.5 seconds, with shot-to-shot times averaging 2.2 seconds without flash and 3.6 seconds with flash. Its shutter lag--the time it takes from pressing the shutter release to capturing a photo--is 0.5 second in bright lighting and 0.9 second in low-light conditions. The camera's burst mode is capable of capturing at 3.2 frames per second, with focus and exposure set with the first shot. It can shoot until your memory card fills up, though, which is nice; competing cameras have a burst limit and make you wait while images are stored before you can shoot again. The camera also has a high-speed burst mode that can shoot 3-megapixel photos at up to 8.2fps. The results are very good compared with similar modes on other cameras I've tested, suitable for small prints and definitely for Web use.
The look and design hasn't changed much from its predecessor, the SD1400 IS, or its predecessor, the SD940. It's still very, very small, which remains its greatest attribute. It's small enough that you'll never hesitate to take it with you. However, if you plan to keep it loose in a bag, invest in some manner of protection or risk scratching up its beautiful body and screen. The model is available in silver, black, and red. The lens barrel color closely matches the body, too, giving it a peculiar uniform look. Canon did add a slight gritty texture to the body, which is appreciated, but some might find it irritating.
Using the camera is remarkably comfortable, even for large hands. All of the controls are flat and flush with the body. It gives the camera a very smooth appearance, but using the four-way directional pad and center Func/Set button can be a little difficult. They do feel easier to press than past models, though. Also, while I had no problems using them, the buttons, shooting-mode switch, and zoom rocker are tiny, which might be a problem for some; it would be an excellent idea to lay hands on one before you buy it.
Regardless of their shape and size, the controls are easy to master. The menu system can take some getting used to depending on how quickly you can remember to hit the Func/Set button for shooting-mode specific settings and the Menu button for everything else. You also have the option to turn on a help system with hints and tips for choosing the appropriate settings or simply telling you what the shooting mode you're in is going to do. It's not uncommon to find, but Canon does a nice job of it. The next step is to get a full, searchable user manual on it since there's no printed manual included.
For connecting to a computer, monitor, or HDTV there are Mini-USB/AV and Mini-HDMI outputs underneath a small door right side of the body. The battery and memory card compartment is on the bottom under a nonlocking door. The battery does not charge in camera, and the shot life is rated at 220, so you'll probably find yourself opening the compartment quite a bit if you shoot regularly. Keep in mind, too, that using the zoom or burst shooting a lot, shooting full HD movies, and keeping the screen brightness high will all cut into your battery life.
Instead of just giving the PowerShot Elph 300 HS a megapixel bump and some extra shooting modes, Canon actually improved it from earlier iterations. One of the big issues with those past models was shooting performance, which is better on the 300 HS, especially in regard to continuous shooting. Photo and video quality are excellent, and instead of unnecessarily going up to 16 megapixels, Canon keeps it at a sane 12 megapixels, which is actually a lower resolution than its predecessor, the SD1400 IS. For those of you who like to keep your point-and-shoot in auto, the 300 HS is a smart choice.

awesome surprise of the day: going through an old box of cool clothes labeled "skinny clothes" and finding that they all fit comfortably. I guess I've lost a little weight. still toying around with the idea of joining a martial arts gym; maybe that will be last on my list of errands today. i need a little muscle to replace the absent fat.
my primal journal:
Excellent! to all of the above.
And... Fourthed!
I'm 'between' sizes myself again... some stuff is bag assing and giving me too much 'ball room' (not the most attractive look in ladies denim) and others are still too snug to be comfy.
... But going down is always good!
(I do LOVE a good double entendre!)

I do love going down.
oy, now that i'm single, i have to watch myself! people are going to get the wrong idea! yeah, the skinny jeans I bought are a little loose now. and my bras don't fit. at one point in time, I couldn't see my belly button if i looked straight down, but now i can. I did buy a cute black denim pair of jeans which NEVER would have fit me previously. very hawt (and $10)! I can also see some upper ab definition.

The team of "Vosthi", the Tamil remake of "Dabangg", are looking for a face to dance to the Tamil version of " Munni Badnaam"
The team of "Vosthi", the Tamil remake of the Salman Khan blockbuster "Dabangg", is busy looking out for the perfect Munni. The remake also features the chartbuster "Munni Badnaam", and so far Malaika Arora Khan is not in consideration. The makers are looking for a face to appeal to the masses as well as someone with loads of oomph. "There were a lot of names tossed around.
But somehow we haven't been able to find the perfect lady to shimmy and shake to the song," says actor Sonu Sood, who reprises his role as chief antagonist, Chhedi Singh in "Vosthi". But now, with the shooting of the film almost complete, the hunt for Malaika's replacement is on in all earnestness. So much so, the actor also took to twitter asking followers for suggestions. "The hunt for the 'Munni' for "Munni Badnaam" song of Tamil Dabangg is on.. Any suggestions.. (sic)," posted Sood on the micro blogging site. The actor along with Simbu is all set to share screen space and recreate the magic of Munni in Tamil.

That's about their true talent level this year, too; at 501 runs scored and 480 allowed, they're hitting their Pythagorean projection perfectly, and no particular player is having a particularly bad year by his own standards, with the possible, slight exception of Joe Mauer.
So, the Twins aren't really a playoff team, not in the American League, anyway. And that's with the best pitcher in baseball, one Johan Santana, on the team.
Santana will not be on the team any longer in 2009. Yes, you might want to quibble with that fact, but you're indulging wishful thinking to suppose otherwise. You want to see Santana re-up with the Twins. Anything but go to the... Y... Y...
But it isn't happening. The probability of Johan Santana being a Minnesota Twin come opening day 2009 is about 0.01%. It's the raw, painful financial truth of the matter: Barry Zito got 7 years, $126 million. What do you think Johan freakin' Santana is going to get out on the market? I think 8 years, $170 million is a fair over/under. Yes, I know that would be an insane contract to give any pitcher. But I wouldn't rule out 8/200, even 9/210 for Santana. He's been the undisputed best pitcher in baseball for four years running. Every team on planet earth wants more pitching. You do the math.
Bottom line, the Yankees are going to pay Santana whatever it takes to sign him; it's going to take 200 million dollars or something very close to it, because the Red Sox and Mets and Dodgers and Angels are also going to want him; and the Twins simply can't afford it. You can make a good argument, as I would, that the Twins shouldn't sign Santana to that kind of contract, even if they could.
The Twins have a few good young pitchers that you may have heard of. Matt Garza. Boof Bonser. Scott Baker. Kevin Slowey. Francisco Liriano coming back from elbow reconstruction. By 2009, the very rosiest scenario is that those guys a) all stay healthy, and b) all significantly improve over where they are right now. Then, taken together, they'd be able to replace Santana's production and the Twins would break even on the pitching side of the ledger. But how likely is that? I'd put the chances somewhere between "flying cow" and "snowball's chance in hell." Pick any five young pitchers, at random, and the chances are basically nil that, two years later, none of them will have suffered a serious injury.
The Twins' lineup is extremely top-heavy, I mean extremely. Remove Torii Hunter—which is the likely case as soon as this season is over—and the Twins are left with precisely three quality hitters on the roster: Justin Morneau, Joe Mauer, and Mike Cuddyer. There's no position-player help in the system, now that Alexi Casilla's up.
Without Santana, the Twins, as currently constructed, are done. 2008 is their last hurrah for another year or two after that. Translation: It's time for Terry Ryan, and Carl Pohlad, to decide what to do, right now.
He has three options:
Bet It All On 2008
We can't even say for certain that this is an option, because it would require convincing ownership to open up the purse. 2008 is the last season Johan Santana is going to be a Minnesota Twin; you aren't going to be able to compete in 2009 without Santana and Torii Hunter on the team.
If the Twins are going to try their level best to win that elusive championship in 2008, re-signing Torii Hunter is essential. Pay whatever it takes; explain to him that you're pushing hard for a championship right now, and want him to be part of it. It'll take a huge contract, but he'll sign. After you've made your 2008 push, and particularly if it falls short, you can trade him off. You're assuming the risk that he blows his shoulder in 2008 or something and you get saddled with the contract, but you get insurance on the contract. Even if you have to give him a no-trade clause, after you've partially gutted the team post-2008 it won't be hard to convince him to accept a trade.
There's still more work to do after that, and it's going to have to be done by shelling out money on the free-agent market and/or trading away your few remaining non-major-league prospects. The Twins need more hitters than just the Big Three and Cuddyer. They need a shortstop. They desperately need a third baseman. They need one more corner outfielder. To take a serious run at a title, they need to fill at least two of these holes. They already missed a chance to fill one of them on the cheap, and yes, here I am thinking of Morgan Ensberg; but the point is, these holes need filled, and the Twins need to pay to fill them if that's what it takes.
Who might be available? At shortstop, the pickings are slim: David Eckstein is probably going to be the best free agent shortstop available, and I can't especially recommend anybody pay $5 million a year for a below-average shortstop, which is what Eckstein is these days. But hey, he's gritty and dirty and hard-nosed and maybe the Twins will just go ga-ga for him.
Third base? It's not much better. There's Mike Lowell, but you never know which Mike Lowell you're getting if you give him the 3/30 or so contract he's going to be after. That's really about it; Cesar Izturis is probably the next-best player at the position who's going to be out there.
Corner outfield? That's where they need to make their move. In fact, they should be signing two, maybe three corner outfields with bats, since they have a DH slot they haven't made use of in years as well as an open hole in left field. Bobby Abreu may be available—the Yankees have a $16 million option on him, but that may be a tad much even for him—and if he is, the Twins should make every reasonable effort to ink him. You could bet on Jermaine Dye being healthier, but the odds are stacked against you. Milton Bradley is a guy the Twins should definitely go after, provided he doesn't murder anyone between now and January (an open question at this point). Convincing Kosuke Fukudome to come see the beautiful Great Lakes would likely work about as well as it worked on Yi Jianlian, so that's probably not an option. His availability does increase the probability of Abreu's availability, though.
It looks bleak, but keep in mind that things change, and by winter there's likely to be somebody available, either through free agency or by trade, that can bolster the Twins. Improving at the margins should not be difficult: If they keep Hunter and sign an impact player like Abreu, it should not be hard to improve at the margins, by which I mean find relatively cheap players who can improve upon the likes of Nick Punto and Jason Tyner and Jason Bartlett.
Now is the time. The Twins can't hold anything back.
Fold and Look to the Next Hand
This could become Terry Ryan's only really viable option in two scenarios, both uncomfortably likely: One, Pohlad doesn't let loose another dime for a championship chase; and two, if there just isn't anything to be had on the market this winter.
In this scenario, you let Hunter walk and grab the draft picks. Then you do the really, really painful thing: You trade Johan Santana.
The truth of the matter is, unless they do something along the lines of what I outlined above, the Twins have very little chance of making the playoffs in 2008. Yes, the young pitchers could improve, but then, they might not; and with the terrible lineup after the big three and no signs of improvement, the Twins just aren't going to improve much over what they already are. Everything breaks right, they win 92 or so, which probably isn't enough to get it done in a division that includes the Indians and Tigers and a league that also features the Yankees, Red Sox and Angels. More likely not everything breaks right, and they wind up in the 82-86 range, same as they're in this year, and then Santana leaves and it's lights out.
An open auction for Johan Santana's services, if his GM has any kind of competence—and Terry Ryan does—should yield one of the all-time great hauls. Played properly, the Twins absolutely should be able to parlay Santana into a treasure chest full of young goodies. I strongly suspect they could clean the Dodgers' clocks out, in particular, in a Santana trade, given Uncle Ned's irrational hatred of all baseball players younger than Nomar Garciaparra and irrational fondness for pitching. Every contending team in baseball would be bidding on his services. The best time to trade him is over the winter—never trust any pitcher to not tweak his elbow before July rules around.
The Twins don't really have any other assets anyone else would especially want, although of course in any situation like this, if you don't at least give Dave Littlefield a call, you just aren't doing due diligence. But they do have all those young pitchers, and given that you're going to lose Santana anyway, if you can turn him into, say, Andy LaRoche, James Loney, Chad Billingsley and another couple decent minor leaguers—and no, I don't think that trade's out of the realm of possibility, not given that it's not far off from what the Dodgers were talking about trading for Mark Teixiera—you open the window to be competitive again as soon as 2009.
It's a hard sell to the season ticket holders, I know. But in the long run, it's far healthier than letting him walk away and bagging the Yankees' first-round pick—which will be the last pick of the round, or very close to it—and a compensatory pick.
That leaves one more scenario:
What the Twins Will Actually Do
...which is, of course, the same things all GMs do in this ridiculously risk-averse era: nothing.
Ryan, perhaps with ownership's, shall we say, guidance, will conclude two things: First, he can't trade Santana without excessively angering the season-ticket holders, and second, a Santana trade is just too risky; if the young players he gets back don't pan out, it would damage Ryan's career. (Classic case of the GM putting his own interests ahead of his employer's interests, which has become an epidemic in modern baseball management.) The safe thing for the modern GM to do is nothing, even if, as it is in the Twins' case, doing nothing is a near-guaranteed path to three or four years of irrelevance.
And let the record show, also, that while he's nowhere near the insanity of Sabean and his comical sidekick Ned, Terry Ryan's not especially fond of young players himself.
I think the Twins are smart enough to know they have no chance of re-signing Santana, so they'll make a strong effort at re-signing Hunter, and they just may succeed, since none of the other big-money teams are really hurting for a center fielder. They'll cross their fingers on their young pitchers and hope Mauer and Morneau reprise their ridiculous 2006 seasons. It won't work, they'll win about 80 without Hunter or 86-87 with him, Santana will don the pinstripes, and the Twins will be mediocrities for the rest of the decade, at least.
Twins fans, now is the time to write in to Terry Ryan and to your local papers and reassure your front office that, if they can't lay out the money to go for it in 2008, trading Johan Santana is the best thing for the team. I know you desperately want to keep him; I know it just isn't fair that your team comes up with a devastating, awesome, Hall of Fame pitcher, and the economics of the sport dictate that you can't keep him, that he has to go to the Yankees. But you can't change the economics. You have to do the best work you can within their framework. If the Twins aren't willing or able to significantly improve the team for 2008, keeping Santana all year and letting him walk away makes no sense at all.

So, I'm delighted that my sunflowers are 2-3 ft. tall and healthy. I have some basil, parsley, and tomatoes growing adjacent. A friend was touring the garden and said, "Dude, you need to move that stuff. Sunflowers give off a weird toxin and things growing too close will die."
Help? I'm a relatively newbie. Is my friend true? Should I move the plants? |

Clock Drops Numbers, Doesn't Care What Time It is
Here's a clock for people who are perpetually tardy, and want to stay that way. All of the digits on the dial of this wall clock have fallen off of the face, causing a major numeric pile-up at the bottom.
While Nextime's Fallen Numeral clock does have a functional time mechanism, it really couldn't give a damn about the actual time. Sure, the hands will move if you put a battery in there, but I certainly wouldn't point them to the proper locations on the dial or that would defeat the purpose.
The clock measures just under 14-inches square and features a frosted glass background with black numerals. It's available from Target for just $29.95.

Just wanted to clarify one rule quick:
When an army is forced to flee from a losing battle, all of its units are routed as well. If an opponent then moves a single unit into the area they retreated to, the routed units don't even join the battle, and thus they automatically lose the fight 1-0 and are all destroyed? I understand the logic behind it, but it makes it incredibly difficult (if not impossible) to attack somebody's stronghold with the goal of weakening it for a second attack to take it, since your army can be attacked by a single archer and wiped out completely.

The one thing that I have trouble understanding is that I see butt ugly women dating good looking men. How do they do that? Maybe I should just not wear make up, not use deodorant and stop shaving my legs and armpits once and for all. Maybe that way I will be able to attract at least a fly.Poi Dog likes this.

I have been single for 6 months...a record for me
My RN is more important than some fleeting relationship. I'm getting too old to have a baby....so I have mixed feelings about that. Kids at 40 don't do it for me. I'll have to be content with my friends and my travels. Maybe by the time I'm 80, the right guy will show up. -

1Nov 26, '11 by Black JadeHow do you answer when you are introduced to people and they ask you about your marital status? It happened to me when my supervisors and I had a luncheon with one of the companies we deal with. Everybody was going around the table introducing themselves and they were talking about family. I got up to go to the restroom hoping that by the time I came back, they changed topics. Nope. They were still on the same topic. For some reason, I feel ashamed to say that I'm single and feel the need to explain why. I guess, because I don't want them to feel sorry for me.
When one of my co-workers who wanted to set me up with one of her male friends, asked me if I wanted kids; I cringed. At my age, I honestly do not know if I will be able to have a child or even deal with one. The idea of moving in or living together also doesn't appeal to me. I don't know if that makes me selfish. I would love to meet somebody, but at the same time I love my independence and my freedom.
Before, when Holidays were approaching I would be stressed out about planning not to be alone especially New Years' Eve. Also, Holidays are tough when you are invited to get-togethers and all you see around you are couples. This year, instead of moping around because I don't have a date, I decided to stay home, watch movies and just relax. I learned to embraced my singlehood. It's not because there is something wrong with me, but because it's not my time yet to meet the right person.Poi Dog likes this. -
4Nov 28, '11 by WillowNMeI'm 24, and not going to lie, I haven't been in any sort of relationship for the past couple of years. I worked full time while going to nursing school full time. I graduated this past spring, found a really great job that I love... most of my friends would say I pretty much have my poop together. With all of this "extra time" all of a sudden (AKA: only working a 3-4 days a week with a one day recovery), I did try to the online dating thing. That was a no go, ended my subscription and won't be renewing it.
Part of the issue is I don't hang out with people my own age, nor do I really live the life of a normal 24 year old. Sometimes it makes me sad - I never lived on campus, never studied abroad, wasn't really invited when classmates went out... but the other part of me loves it - I have a kick butt house out in the country, I get to spend time with my family, friends and horse, I have a great job that I love that pays well, I do travel... I guess I sort of feel like the last thing left is finding someone to share life with, you know? Sounds cheesy when I say it, but... -

One of my coworkers is always fighting with her bf and I am just like, who needs that ish? loljoanna73 likes this. -
2Mar 24, '12 by FranEMTnurse, LPNPoi, I refused to allow others to pressure me into getting married or to allow others to hook me up with eligible people who other people thought I should get romantically involved with. I got married when I was 24 to a person I chose as my partner. We had 2 children.
Today, I am a very happy widow who loves being single, and don't have time to get lonely. My children, grandchildren, and friends fill my life. -
1Apr 14, '12 by vegas2009A work friend of mine who I sometimes hang out with on breaks, told me about her bf for over 2 years now. Anyway, I tried to listen to every detail she told me about the dude. We talked after work at the break room (a few weeks ago) and all I can honestly think about was eating my KFC chicken at home. Also, flossing and taking a shower and eventually going to bed! That's how much I was sooo tired from work that day! Anyway, let's call her "L". Her story is, her bf wanted her to agree on marrying him and eventually get married in six months. She said, they're both stubborn, she's not ready and she wants her freedom, blah, blah, blah. . . my eyes are about to fall out of my face for sitting there, because I really wanted to just get home! lol.
Then, she told me that she just wanted about 2 to 3 years (for him to wait for her), then she can finally commit to marrying him. She plans to go to nursing school in Cali. for Spring 2013, if she gets accepted. Hello, lottery system?? Also, she plans to go to Japan this year and meet up with her friend there.
I don't really ask her personal questions and stuff, when we talk at work. We just talk about day to day stuff, laugh, etc. But, when she first told me about her friend in Japan -- I thought she was a dude (with the way she was talking about her). Until "L" told me it was a woman.
Hmmm... so I thought, maybe she's a little gay? OR NOT, since she plans to marry her "bf" in 2 to 3 years? I dunno.
Haha. I just told her she has drama (just like everyone else). But, honestly, I think she is definitely NOT in love with her "bf" and probably questioning her sexuality ---> No, I didn't tell her this --- Since, this is something she needs to figure out herself. And oh, she's Jehovah's witness, so --- how can she be gay? She quite possibly has comittment issues too. All I can is, I wish I was still 25 and I wouldn't mind having problems like her. LOL.

I wrote to you moments ago about exchanging my sagging S&F purchased at Sears. One thing I forgot to mention is that I sleep on a European style slat bed (from Ikea). The slats actually bow/curve 'up' a bit (toward the mattress) for extra support. Not sure if that makes a difference or not...???
Hello Again Barb. It doesn't.
