After doing a few mockups, I knew I wanted some of my favorite years of Topps ... in some of my favorite colors, blue and yellow: of 2009 ...
and 2011 ...
and 2013 ...
While were at it, I was thinking why not a superfractor? 1 of 1, baby!
And what the heck, why not an actual custom INVISIFRACTOR - that's right, folks. You saw it here first!
The back reads: "Congratulations! You have just received an invisifractor baseball cards of Jose Canseco." (It is stamped #0/0). "Enjoy your beautiful new card. It is a shame that you are the only one who can see it!" Then at the bottom it says "The invisifractor: known by all. Seen by none." My son helped me with the wording, so I'm very happy to have had him in the mix. I made the cards all to have a logo look like Topps, but have it say "tanmanbaseballfan.com"
If you don't know what the invisfractor is, check out more here . It is fantastic stuff. Sumrtop gave me a surprise by doing the psa holder - that was a great addition! If you look closely enough to these designs and know what to look for, you will see a blurred picture of me and Jose together in the background of each card. But way ... there's more! Shortly before this flurry of Canseco-ey goodness, I found out Jose was going to be in town to sign autographs. (YEAH!!!) So I decided to design a card with an autograph window. Then another. Then another. Trying to forget what all this was going to cost and remember this is like the ultimate PC opportunity, I went all out. I designed the cards, had them put together and rushhhhed to me next day air. But wait ... what if I get the wrong sharpie? What if it runs? What if it bubbles?? What if it smudges? NOOOOOOOO!!!!! After scouring the internet, I went to the store and found my answers:
Baby powder to smudge on the top of the card for the auto to stick, and a few types of sharpies to practice with to see what I liked best. So, with all that taken care of, I went to bed last night, ready for the big Canseco meeting. But then I had an idea. What if I could design and print out a custom Allen and Ginters in time for the show? WAIT ... I'm doing 3 autographs already ... why not 3 A&G's??? What if I could put them inside existing A&G autograph frame cards, after yanking out the non-Canseco auto that already exists??? So I got up out of bed, stayed up until 3 am last night, and that is just what I did.
Then I got up at 7:30 and went back to work on them. At a little after 12, I was in the car with my 6 custom cards ready to be signed. While I waited for Canseco to get there, I went to a few tables to pick up some one-touch magnetic holders (I have never bought these, because I generally never buy anything for my pc!) and some cheap-o A&G autos that I can pop out and put my customs in. I got in the line, and there he was! Mr. Canseco, in all of his muscle-ey glory.
I told him I had 6 things for him to sign and that they were my customs. He said "Really? Wow, these are cool!" I had him sign the 1st 3 in blue, and then the last 3 in red. I asked if he could put "1/1" on the red autos, and he said no problem ... while signing the A&G's, he commented a few times "this is the smallest autograph I have ever done!"
Finally, at the end, I mustered up enough courage to ask if I could have a picture with him, and he was fine with it, so a guy in the line volunteered to take my phone and take a few shots.
So, with all that said - here is what all made it worth it ..
Yes, they have backs - custom wording and such with 1/1 gold stamping
I am so stoked about these new additions, not to mention the memories. I've gotten so many compliments on the superfractors and the A&G's today, it has been wonderful. I'm not sure anything Canseco I pulled from a pack would stand up to these cards, but then again, anything I pull couldn't be what I put together to my tastes, either. Finally, here is the pic at the end!
It is nice to have not just cards that I wished had been designed and put in the sets originally, but to know that I'm the only one with them, and they are autographed - and that Canseco gave me a compliment on them. Such a great day!
As an addendum, I just got an email saying that Jose Canseco responded to one of my tweets. Did you hear that? He responded to one of my tweets!!! Okay, I'm not sure exactly where this falls in line with greatest day ever for me, but sure is up there. Now, in an effort to stop like a giddy school girl, I'm going to go ahead and wrap up this blog posting.

Lufthansa is ready to fill the possible gap left in the European market if financially troubled LOT Polish Airlines or SAS were to shut down.
Simone Menne, chief financial officer of the German airline group, says that they have plans to expand in the Nordic countries and Poland in order to replace the lost feed if either carrier were to liquidate, at a press lunch in New York on 25 March.
"Let's assume SAS or LOT will disappear, then we have to go there because those are very very important feeder markets for us," she says.
LOT and SAS are both members of the Star Alliance and partners with Lufthansa. LOT has a hub at Warsaw and SAS hubs at Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm.
Lufthansa Group owns Austrian Airlines, Germanwings, Lufthansa and Swiss, and has a minority stake in Brussels Airlines.
LOT's former chief executive Marcin Pirog unexpectedly stepped down on account of the airline's poor financial performance in December. Sebastian Mikosz replaced him as chief executive in February.
SAS posted a pre-tax SKr823 million ($126 million) during the quarter ending 31 January, and reported a $445 million net loss for the financial year ending 31 October. The carrier is in the process of divesting assets, including the Norwegian regional carrier Wideroe and its group ground handling operation.
Any move by Lufthansa into either carrier's market would only occur if "we can be profitable", says Menne.

Slow web, sick on the CBC, and doing the work.
[PreS: sorry you early birds if you got surprised by the auto-play, fixed now.]
Recently been reading Warren Girard Ellis' ramblings again, that last post a couple of days ago, making listing to this back logged episode of tmsidk the second or third time mention of the 'slow web' or something like it has come up for me in the last week, when Tell Me Something I Don't Know interviewed Jeffrey Inscho.
Hah, that would be just my luck, as i'm finally getting half a hang of promoting myself publishing ventures at something approaching the pace it seems to take to get anyone to take your seriously online or noticed in the torrents of updates, the game would go and change from under my feet.
Being buddhistly inclined I liked a lot of what he had to say about applying mindfulness to your work in the digital sphere. I do try to do just that as much as my mind will allow. Also think I spotted some impracticalities too. Share Jim's concern about the narrowing of focus and echo chamber effect [something he mentioned in passing in the interview].
We will see. Agree enthusiastically with the sentiment of it, as a card carrying member of the old slow action movement I'd far rather quality of interactions trump update cycles.
Over time I do think they count more. But when you're still one of many, and growing numbers of creators trying to raise awareness of our work, and have as eclectic a reader base it seems I have, I'm not sure how much liberty I have to choose to overly narrow band broadcast. I feel like on the edges of your media domain you need to have fairly fast moving streams to match the pace of the rest of the web, to draw in readers to your core presentation. I don't post on the blog here rapidly. No way I could keep up with a even once daily rate that Warren thinks of as a lower gear, while maintaining a good level of quality of content, and keep on top of my artwork. Beyond the usual challenges of content creation being dyslexic makes the process of writing and proofing laborious.
But Facebook, my pages, and twitter, G+ to a degree too, I can post small bits of thought or just promote other people's stuff – something I agree with Dean Haspiel about being a important and valuable role to play, not just as being a community builder but also being someone anyone cares to pay attention too as well. Rather than someone who only talks about themselves?
I suspect some aspects of the slow web Warren and Jeffrey talk about is in part the privileged cruising gear of those who've established themselves. For those that describes It makes a lot of sense to economize your efforts.
At this point I follow the feed-back, post more where I find I get responses and less where I don't.
Never was all in for twitter, it's always been a semi-automated branch of my blogs. Don't have a phone attached to my hip so it was never practical for me and too much of a distraction from the drawing table.
For the moment I get far more attention to my work on Facebook than anywhere else. My computer is seldom far from me so when I brake to pace around, grab a coffee, or set up a show to half watch, I often check in and poke around, like or share something, post a bit of work i'm in the midst of.
I tried promoting a couple of posts on Facebook recently connected with RevolveЯ. They got a lot more views but I remain unconvinced if it helped all that much. I did notice that you have to watch it with that, need to look closely at how the options are laid out for you when you set up a promoted post. Seems like a default was to keep promoting and charging after the budget I had set was spent. Not sure what to make of that but I was not pleased to find I was getting charged again without first being asked. As is too often the case it feels like communicating is not FBs strong suit. Incidentally it's been amusing to watch as twice as many people who've added me as a contact in the past 6 months, did so in the last week on Flickr post instagram TOS fiasco. All good, welcome to all. I was never on instagram so works for me.
Speaking of attention…
Having a hard time getting some key comics news sites to pick up my press for RevolveЯ. Others have, but a few of the key players are being tough nuts to crack. Another round of press needs to be done, hoping I can get more traction in the new year. Wondering if I rubbed some the wrong way along the line or something? For sure not really being part of the convention circuit has not helped. Last show I did was TCAF, and that just as a civilian. Ran into one former editor I once worked with who now blogs, it was kind of awkward, as is to happen at these hectic things, but has not replied to an email since?
Be nice to go to more shows and have more fluid relations with the comics diaspora at large, have a chance to build solid friendships in person. But my lack of funds aside, when am I supposed to make time for that and still draw my books, and do all the other shit we have to do ourselves these days eh? Would love to, but we have to have a successful book first. For that we need the book we have to get coverage so people know it's there to order or buy. A dog and tail game.
Best is if the word gets out more virally, and becomes something the diaspora can't ignore. If you're reading this, do us a favor and check out the book if you have not already, mention it to a few someones, share it blog it and if you'd like to review it contact me about that, be glad to oblige. I have lots of visitors and followers these days but outside a core group not enough sharing what they find to get that fantastic fractal spreading pattern going yet. Needs more cowbell!
On the other hand and not to seem to only gripe, I have had some nice windfalls!
Most recently I managed to get invited onto the CBC show to do some local color run after this great doc, Graphic Chicken Soup for the Graphic Soul, by David Gutnick. Thanks to David and Maria Turner, my boss at carte blache both for putting my name in for that. I'm on with an old acquaintance, Simon Bossé, in a piece called Growing up graphic. Our parents get all the blame.
Making it a more entertaining experience than planned I got nailed by the flu about 6 hours before the interview, vomiting all over the place very suddenly and sending my poor Ange into a cleaning frenzy. Managed to clear out the pipes and get it together to do it all over the phone, thanks to some nice editing, I even sound totally coherent.

So that's me for the year probably. Couple more retailers on board and some new distribution channels about to come online for RevolveЯ. I'm running behind on RevolveЯ Two right now due to last minute editorial decisions on my part, and the feeling like the slow moving soft launch is progressing well, but has not reached the sweet spot for the next Minimum Effective Dose. The next book dropping and it's associated press releases, to help crank the series forward. Taking the time to color a story and add another to make it all that much cooler, less ignorable, and put it out in January instead of this month as I had planned originally.
Keep your eyes open for a kickstarter project from me and Mark Sable too in the new year.
As work on Dream Life book one gets done i'll be jumping directly onto a story we have planned.

Teen charged with robbery after pot deal leads to shooting in Merrillville
By Ruth Ann Krause Post-Tribune correspondent November 6, 2012 2:56PM
Updated: December 8, 2012 6:35AM
A Gary teen is in custody facing robbery, battery and handgun charges after a Saturday night shooting during a marijuana deal.
Larry Darnell Hopkins III, 16, was charged in Lake Superior Court with robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, battery by means of a deadly weapon and carrying a handgun without a license in the incident in which the victim was shot in the chest. The most serious of the charges is punishable by 20 to 50 years.
"Look, I'm the shooter," Hopkins told Merrillville police Cpl. Jeffrey Bunnell, who spotted Hopkins walking in the 6900 block of Broadway and noticed he matched the description of one of the individuals involved in the shooting at a home on 72nd Place.
Bunnell asked Hopkins if he had heard any gunshots and Hopkins replied that he had heard some earlier, the probable cause affidavit states. The officer also asked whether Hopkins knew anything about the incident and Hopkins said he did because he was at the house where it happened, court records state.
While sitting in the police department squad room, Hopkins made the admission.
After being advised of his constitutional and civil rights and after consulting with his father at the police station, Hopkins told police he was with another person when he received a phone call from someone he knows as "Charlie" who was going to buy some marijuana and asked them to back him up. Hopkins and the other suspect were waiting on a bike trail behind the victim's home.
After receiving a phone call from the buyer, Hopkins and his associate walked to the front of the house and saw a man pointing a pistol at the third man. He said he fired three times and ran.
The victim, Levi Lungaro, told police he was going to sell marijuana to someone he didn't know very well, so he got a .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun and put it in his waistband, then stepped out on the porch to complete the transaction.
He said saw two males wearing black hoodies and bandannas coming around the west side of the house pointing guns at him. He asked the buyer who the guys were, and the taller of the two masked men took the marijuana money from him and the buyer. He displayed the gun in his waistband and began to draw it and was shot by the taller of the two individuals. Lungaro then ran next door for help.
Police recovered a .38-caliber revolver.

Rembrandt is one of the most famous European artists of all time, followed by another Dutch master, Vermeer. These two painters have been on the minds of many locals lately because of the marvelous Art & Home: Dutch Interiors in the Age of Rembrandt, which is midway through its three-month run at the Denver Art Museum.
The show, installed in the museum's spacious Hamilton galleries, includes two Rembrandts and one Vermeer, plus 47 other Dutch-master paintings and seventy decorative objects. It's the inclusion of those objects that really sets this exhibit apart from ordinary shows about Dutch art, though. In the traditional approach, paintings are given the preeminent position, not just in Dutch art, but for shows in general. If the decorative arts are seen at all, it's usually in the form of a table or a pair of chairs pushed against the wall under a painting. Art & Home aims to change that by incorporating the decorative items into the main flow, and it succeeds, as everything comes together seamlessly.
But the inclusion of decorative arts is only one of this blockbuster show's distinctions. Even more significant, at least for hometown pride, is that Art & Home was organized in Denver, marking the first time that the DAM has ever put together a major old masters show; the organizers were the DAM's Timothy Standring and Mariët Westermann, a Dutch native and an art historian who specializes in seventeenth-century Dutch art.
Westermann, who served as a guest curator at the DAM and is now on the faculty of the Clark Art Institute in Massachusetts, was associated with Rutgers University in New Jersey while she was working on the show. This association with Rutgers facilitated the participation of the Newark Museum, which served as a kind of junior sponsor for the exhibition; the show premiered there to the rave reviews of New York-area critics.
"Newark came on late, after I had already started to plan the show," Westermann recalled during an interview. I spoke with her and Stand-ring just before the show opened last month. "I got a call that they had a funding source for anything about Dutch products. I don't need to tell you I never get that kind of call."
For Standring, who was recently named chief curator after working at the DAM for twelve years, it was a relief that the show even got off the ground -- literally. "This was the exhibit that was destined not to happen," Standring said in the same interview. "Seventy-five percent of the loans were about to be shipped by air from all over Europe on September 11."
At first Standring thought the show would have to be canceled, because he feared that many of the more than sixty lenders would chicken out. Astoundingly, not a single institution backed out. "The Dutch museums were adamant about going forward," Westermann said. "They contacted us even before we contacted them and said they had complete confidence in America. They remember very well in Holland the role of America in World War II."
This anecdote provides a great segue into a discussion of the show itself, because, in addition to being about art, Art & Home is also about the character of the people who made and commissioned the paintings and other works.
The exhibit focuses roughly on works from the period of the Dutch Republic, which was established in 1648 after Holland -- previously known as the Spanish Netherlands -- ended its eighty-year war with Spain. Long wealthy from trade, the seafaring Dutch got even richer once the yoke of the Spanish was lifted. There were a lot of people with a glut of gilders, which is why there's so much art from seventeenth-century Holland. Though it offends some people's belief in the value of egalitarianism, wealthy cultures pay for and make art, and poor cultures mostly do not.
Holland's Protestant Reformation was also going on, so in a relatively short amount of time, the Dutch got rid of the nobility by throwing out Spain, and the clergy by throwing out the Roman Catholic Church. Freed from these forces, the Dutch were encouraged to forge a new way of life.
"We see in these paintings and decorative objects one of the earliest examples of modern middle-class life," said Westermann. "And because the paintings are so like photographs, there's a real way to connect to the people."
Even more connections can be made to the decorative objects in the show, as some of them are the ones that are actually depicted in the paintings. Westermann spent a lot of time tracking down similar objects, an accomplishment that took both scholarship and footwork. "The curator at the Metropolitan [Museum of Art] in New York let me go through the basements and cellars, and here were all these things that are never exhibited," she said. "Half of the decorative arts we've included in the show are never on exhibit in the museums that lent them."

Arizona Immigration Law meets opposition from two initiatives
April 29, 2010
PHOENIX, Arizona: The newly signed immigration law that is scheduled to take effect in late July or early August, has gained numerous supporters. Now, it is being met with opposition from two initiative efforts hoping to place a veto referendum on the November ballot. One effort is being spearheaded by Jon Garrido, who runs a Hispanic website and is a former candidate for the Phoenix City Council. Garrido stated that he would begin circulation during the week of May 3, 2010 to try and place the measure on the ballot. A separate referendum effort has begun, with the petition drive being led by Andrew Chavez, who runs a petition circulation firm. Chavez stated that he has begun the initiative on behalf the One Arizona organization, and filed paperwork with the Secretary of State's office on April 28, 2010 in order to begin the referendum process.[1][2]
The possible referendum is in response to the law that was signed into law on April 23, 2010 by Governor of Arizona Jan Brewer that would make illegal immigration a crime in Arizona and would mandate that state and local police question a person's immigration status if there are any suspicions that they are illegal immigrants.[3]

I do not know the name of my Tillandia but it is making pups; three are weaned, but more are forming. I would like to trade for different looking or varities of tilly pups. I can send pictures if desired. Mine has thin narrow spikes or leaves in rosette shape. |

I bought my first Tillandsias about 6 months ago and I've been obsessed with them ever since. I bought mine at Home Depot and I believe most of them were labeled wrong. I would be interested in trading Tilly pups or Bromeliad pups. I don't know the names of my Bromiliads either. I have several different varieties. I love them all. I won't be picky about the types I receive in exchange. I just think it would be fun to trade. |

Three thousand miles is a long distance to travel by train in three days. During the first brutal night of a recent trip on Amtrak from New York City to Los Angeles, I quickly learned a few things. The food is edible but unhealthful, especially those microwave cheeseburgers. Besides looking out the window, there's not much to do except eat. And I never quite got used to being constantly yanked in one direction at 70 miles an hour. Such a journey isn't a totally awful experience, though it's the kind of thing you want to do only once. Or so I thought—then I took the train back to New York. Insane, right?Not if you suffer from aviophobia, as I used to. Then it makes perfect, irrational sense.
It all began in 1995, after 20 years or so of fearless flying. It just struck me, out of nowhere, one evening at 30,000 feet. As the plane started to shake a little from some routine turbulence, I thought, Hey, we're not supposed to be up here. From there it progressed rapidly. My heart began to race. I recall looking to the woman next to me for support, which never came. Soon I was in a panic mode so severe I was trying to cut deals with God. Three months later, I was back in the air and making more empty promises.
Eventually, the stress became too much to bear and I decided that I would never fly again, ever. For four years, I didn't see the inside of an airport. I was resigned to getting through life without ever visiting Africa and Asia.
I didn't give up without trying, though. Before I took that train back from Los Angeles, I met with Dr. Nathaniel Branden, a psychotherapist who specializes in energy psychology, which aims to "interrupt negative patterns of thought and feeling." I told him about my fears of being on a plane, making reservations two months in advance, giving up control, and so on. He nodded. "I think I might be able to help you," he said. "Are you in a hurry?"
First he had me drink a glass of water, then he stretched my arms out to my sides. "Look at the wall over there," he said. "Say 'Two and two makes four.' Say 'Two and two makes thirteen and a half.' Now I want you to focus on your fear of flying." Next, he had me tap the edge of my right hand against the palm of my left and repeat out loud, "Even though I have a fear of flying, I accept myself profoundly and completely." He had me tap on the bridge of my nose, in the middle of my eyebrow, and under my eye. I rotated my eyes in a circle, hummed melodies, counted to five, tapped some more. I was tapping my throat, my chest, down to my solar plexus, my navel. When there was nothing left to tap, I thanked him kindly and headed for the train station.
Back safely at home, I thought: Why not just stay on the island of Manhattan and never leave?
That sounded well and good, until I was given an assignment that I couldn't turn down, which had me flying to Paris in just two months.
I immediately made an appointment with Dr. Steven Lamm, an internist to the stars. He diagnosed me as a risk taker with generalized anxiety disorder who has a tendency to "catastrophize."
"No one can be in control of his or her future, so anyone who worries unnecessarily about it will spark physical and emotional reactions," Lamm said. He suggested I take Xanax or Ativan with me on the flight—just in case.
Lamm also thought I should learn cognitive, behavioral, and relaxation techniques, which might help me abort my pattern of panic on the plane. After seeing another therapist who failed to hypnotize me (I pretended to be under his spell so as not to hurt his feelings) and having a lackluster virtual-reality treatment (the impatient doctor made me more nervous than the simulated thunderstorm), I signed up for Fly Without Fear, a class that has been taught at LaGuardia Airport for 30 years by Carol Cott Gross and her husband, Herbert.
There I learned I wasn't alone. Some members who go week after week haven't flown in decades. Carol herself still has the fear but regularly conquers it. "This is the hardest phobia of all to beat because you can't do it halfway," she told the class.
Over two months, I learned that hitting air pockets is not a big deal (it may feel as if you've dropped 1,000 feet, but in reality it's probably more like five); that planes are routinely stripped to bare aluminum and everything is inspected; and that maintenance guys usually study for at least two to three years before being certified.
At the end of each class we all filed into a hangar to board a stationary plane. Once that becomes comfortable there are conditioning flights to Boston, and more experts and pep talks from pilots and Carol, who reprogrammed me to substitute the word exciting for dangerous, as in "flying to Paris is exciting, not dangerous."
"With the same mind that thinks the worst you could imagine something good," Carol said. "The problem that most of our members have is that they feel very superstitious imagining something positive."
For me, I realized I wasn't afraid of flying. I'd done this my whole life. I was afraid of being afraid, of making reservations, of not being in control.

Last year our theme was most definitely chicken salad.
Not sure why our summer themes need to be a food, but it fits, we love some good food.
Now I know pasta salad isn't some extraordinary meal, nor is it difficult to make, but everybody does it differently so I thought I would share my own version of the perfect pasta salad.
- Tri colored rotini pasta
- green pepper
- cucumber
- red onion
- cubed colby jack cheese
- Italian dressing
- Shredded Parmesan cheese
- McCormick's Perfect Pinch Salad Supreme
Oh and while I'm spilling secrets let me tell you another original Megan secret
Soak it in they don't come often.
Cheese is my most prized possession....besides my son and husband, so for me a pasta salad MUST have cheese cubes, but those bags of cheese cubes are kinda expensive and don't come with a lot of cubes.
So I buy a thing of CHEESE STICKS and then just cut them into cubes.
You're welcome.
And the secret was cutting the stick of cheese, NOT that cheese is my most prized possession.
So after chopping up all your veggies and cheese add it to your cooked pasta.
I always wash my pasta with color water and get it nice and cold before adding the veggies and cheese.
After adding the veggies and cheese I mix in the salad dressing and seasoning. I don't measure either just a dib and dab there with the seasoning and I squeeze about half the bottle of dressing on the
I know this isn't anything special but I love it so much and have made it about once a week this summer. Sometimes we use it as a side dish, sometimes we use it as our main dish and sometimes I make it to take to lunch at work. It goes with anything!
And even the youngest of food critics approve!

Perfect on the days I need more coverage (particularly due to a blemish!) or nights when I need a more polished, finished look. Great blendability, never streaks on me, and sometimes I use it instead of concealer. Probably too heavy for the summer, but perfect for those dry winter months.
I've seen this highly recommended as a spot cover. I bought it to use in that way and it is impossible to blend - even when mixing it with liquid foundation and/or moisturizer. It just streaked and sat in my pores making them look huge. A waste of $$ - unuseable. I have sensitive/combo skin with some oily tendencies. Maybe this would work if you have extremely oily skin.
This stick foundation lasts forever! Only a little bit is needed. Actually, it provides a lot of coverage so I only use it under the eyes, around the nose, and over any blemishes. On the rest of my face I use the Luminous Skin Color. I think the foundation is worth the $38 price tag because it doubles as both a foundation and concealor. It is definitely a product for drier skin. When I first tried it, I thought it was too greasy. A year later, my skin became dry and now I love it. The packaging stinks though. The stick kept popping out! Becca has wonderful products but they really need to work on packaging!
I'm really liking this foundation. I found a perfect color match (Toffee), which is a rare event that probably heralds the end of the universe and the freezing over of hell. It is sticky going on, but that's not a problem for long. The initial stickiness has an added benefit: eyeshadow and blush really stay on a long time when you apply them over this. I apply the foundation lightly with a brush (I have the MAC one), then blend it in gently with my fingertips. When it dries, it stays put, looks natural (probably in large part thanks to the perfect color match) and has a powder finish, which I bolstered (since I'm oily) with a light dusting of translucent powder. Looks flawless. I love that it has sunscreen in it (something like 20+) and the stick is so easy to drop in a purse for touchups. It beats my old HG, MAC Studio Tech. I just wish it weren't $38! A little goes a long way, though, so it might be worth it.

This product is sticky as all hell and the sticky quality does not go away. I am guessing that a setting powder would fix this problem, but seeing as to how I am new to foundation and I dont really need it to begin with, that is just too much makeup for me. It does have good coverage and the colors are nice, but the tacky texture is just rediculous. I've heard many raves so I had high hopes and must admit I am disapointed. For reference, I am 20 and have dry/normal skin.
Well.. Here's the thing ladies.. The LUMINOUS SKIN COLOUR moisturizing tint is the key.. You shouldn't just use the stick... It is soo dry to be used alone. I think of it as a concealer/foundation that should only be used on the problem spots. I'm in love with this line. My skin looks amazing.
I've never found a color that matches my skin perfectly.
The key to this is using enough moisturizer or a good primer before you apply. The consistency is on the dry side and tends not to go on smoothly on it's own. That's what makes it bad, but it's also what makes it good! The drier texture makes it stay on really well. Using a foundation brush on well prepped skin makes all the difference. I use this over Becca LSC on areas of my skin that may need a little more coverage than I can get from LSC alone. It's easy to make it sheer or more opaque. Set with a light dusting of loose powder (Sesame for me) and you're good for the day. No settling into lines, or highlighting of dry areas or magifying of pores. An excellent foundation! I use Macadamia and it's a great match for me (I'm fair-medium, pretty neutral). It's good over bare, moisturized & primed skin or over my LSC Nude.
A classy product. Not for the amateur though. If you don't use a rich moisturizer, the application isn't the best. However, as with most Euro style products, a rich base cream is best anyway. I'm not a believer in "oil free" products, so this is remarkable for me. My skin has never been more exquisite all day long!

I randomly got a Becca makeover at Sephora, and I ended up really liking this product.
I don't really wear foundation, so this was a big leap for me and was worried that this would be too thick. But that just isn't so.
I was really impressed with the colour selection too.
I have oily/combination skin, and have not noticed any oil with this one.
Per the rave reviews, I schlepped all the way out to Bergdorf's to find this line (now it's a little easier to come by as Sephora carries it). I was impressed by the HUGE color palette for foundations. I purchased the stick in Sherbet. Great on the color match, lousy on oiliness. My skin looked great for about an hour, and then turned into a grease pot! I have combination skin, but I have never encountered a foundation that greased up like this. I now use it on my jawline blemishes (dry skin), but will not repurchase. Perhaps it works well for ladies with dry skin overall... but it is not suitable for all skin types as the advertising states.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Lawmakers have been meeting today behind closed doors with top FBI and CIA officials -- in hopes of getting more details about the investigation that led to the resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus.
The investigation also uncovered suggestive emails between the U.S. general commanding the war in Afghanistan and a Florida socialite.
Members of the House Intelligence Committee met on Capitol Hill with FBI Director Robert Mueller and deputy director Sean Joyce, and then with acting CIA Director Michael Morell.
Lawmakers are concerned about reports that the woman with whom Petraeus was having an affair -- Paula Broadwell -- had classified information on her laptop. But FBI investigators say there was no security breach.
The top Democrat on the House panel, Dutch Ruppersberger, said before today's meeting, "We're going to get to the bottom of all these issues."

I have a new very large garden and a new compost pile- the compost pile is not ready for use as mulch and won't work for the lasagna method because it has hot horse manure in it.
So I'm looking at buying something for mulch. I've read a little about using 'new zealand white clover" as a living mulch and wonder if anyone has experience with this and can offer advice or thoughts.

In the past I left white clover when I was weeding the garden. Eventually it was all over the place and was effectively a living mulch. If it started getting out of hand I would mow it down a bit and spread the clipping where I thought they would do the most good. I thought it worked really well, but it was pretty labor intensive so I stoped doing it when the garden got bigger. |

around here clover is the spawn of SATAN! in less than 7 days time it can easily grow 6"+! |
Thanks for your thoughts and warnings! Silly me, I've always enjoyed flirting with Satan's spawn :) :) I'm thinking that some kind of living mulch would be cheaper (buying seed) than buying something else already made. It looks like the clover does get around 6 inches, but that would be fine if it was in between rows and under larger plants- broccoli kale corn tomatoes, etc...then it has the added benefit of giving nitrogen. Around here, clover has shallow roots, but makes a good mat, so I'd think it would keep other weeds at bay...? Anyone have experience or thoughts about other living mulches? |
- Posted by davidandkasie Z8 MS (My Page) on Tue, Jun 3, 08 at 10:08
i can tell you that clover will suffocate the other weeds and keep them at bay. in your area it may work just fine. in mine it grows and grows, i had some a few weeks ago that was over the front tires on my riding mower! i could not get to the area to cut it for 3-4 weeks due to standing water,, and the clover jsut kept growing. luckily for me it has now started to hit the mid 90's for highs, so the clover is stunted and dying off. by the end of the month you won't find clover anywhere here other than small patches under some shade. so it would not do good here in a garden either. |
I use green wandering jew as a "place holder". I guess that might qualify as a mulch. It grows fairly rapidly (more rapidly than the purple wandering jew), looks rather nice, keeps weeds from popping up, and is easy to pull up when I finally make up my mind and decide what I really want to plant. It is more than 6 inches (maybe 8) and does expand beyond where you've planted it but that is what I like. Seems to do okay if it isn't watered regularly but it loves water too. Seems to work okay in sun or shade. It even has tiny pink flowers periodically. I haven't figured out if there is something that encourages flowering. I haven't fertilized it and have it growing in several of my beds until I make up my mind or have time to do the planting that I want. I haven't found another plant that would serve the same purpose that I like as well though I have looked. My yard is a little boring with this growing in most of my beds, LOL. Let us know if you come up with something you like. Inquiring minds want to know. |
Thanks davidandkasie and elphaba! I've seen ads for underseeding/living mulch in Johnny's seed catalog and wonder about the pro's and con's of planting right into the rows and spaces between vegetables. Does anyone out here in gardenweb have any other experiences with living mulch? I really appreciate your input! |
Clover gets mixed reviews from me. I too try to promote volunteers, which aren't too invasive, but too sporadic to comprise a plan. Sowing for the purpose has had some success, but only if water and temperature cooperate. As noted above, high and dry tend to stunt it. Although not a living mulch in the true sense, buckwheat has proven effective.Sown thickly, it chokes other growth. When desired plant growth would be impeded (say,melons spreading) it's easily uprooted and laid as cover.Seed is very cheap, and can be harvested if allowed to mature. |
We've used red clover in the community down here in Texas. It seemed to work fine and pretty much died off in the heat so make sure the clover you pick can take your temps. It worked fine for us since we only wanted it for winter coverage. |
diana: I once planted tomatoes into a cover crop of white clover. It was a failure because the clover out-competed the tomatoes for nutrients. So now I bury my white clover covers and the soil tilth is marvelous. I also planted white clove in a path alongside my end vegetable bed. It is lush after 3 years; it keeps weeds down -- somewhat -- but it does creep into the vegetable bed. Regards, Peter. |
Thanks for your information. I've bagged the idea of living mulch because of the nutrient competition info and have used what I had of the cut down cover crop- wasn't enough, but then got a good deal on a straw bale from the horse person-neighbor. Put all that over newspaper and it was very cheap. Again, I appreciate everyone's input! Diana |

We decided to use white clover as a living mulch this year. There were too many pros to not try it. Cons are the clover out competing the primary crop. For the most part, I think I'll be able to pull it back by hand pretty easily since it's just a home garden. I don't know if I'd use it for a larger farm scale living mulch unless I was doing a Fukuoka-style grain production. |

California based Sonoma Sent Studio have launched a new fragrance named Forest Walk. The fragrance was created as part of the Letters to a Fellow Perfumer series on the Nathan Branch Blog. The perfumer, Laurie Erickson, says �The project gave me the opportunity to work with black hemlock absolute in a forest scent, something that I had wanted to do for a long time. I love the smells of the forest and have fond memories of hiking and riding through the redwood groves in nearby parks.�
The new fragrance is said to be inspired by the scents of summer walks in the woods. It has earthy mossy notes to suggest the smells of the forest floor. It has notes of many different woods including � Oak, Western Red Cedar, New Caledonia Sandalwood, fir balsam and oakmoss. Other notes include jasmine sambac, violet, benzoin for its resinous properties, amber and labdanum.
The fragrance is available as an extrait in 34ml, 17ml, 5ml travel sprays, 2.5ml mini sample sprays and 1ml samples.

Mead, Margaret
Mead, Margaret
biographical name(born Dec. 16, 1901, Philadelphia, Pa., U.S.died Nov. 15, 1978, New York, N.Y.) U.S. anthropologist. She studied under Franz Boas and Ruth Benedict at Columbia University and did fieldwork in Samoa before completing her Ph.D. (1929). The first and most famous of her 23 books, Coming of Age in Samoa (1928), presents evidence in support of cultural determinism with respect to the formation of personality or temperament. Her other books include Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies (1935), Male and Female (1949), and Culture and Commitment (1970). Her theories caused later 20th-century anthropologists to question both the accuracy of her observations and the soundness of her conclusions. In her later years she became a prominent voice on such wide-ranging issues as women's rights and nuclear proliferation, and her great fame owed as much to the force of her personality and her outspokenness as to the quality of her scientific work. She served in curatorial positions at the American Museum of Natural History for over 50 years.

Dr Frances Edwards
Personal Profile
Research Description
Processing of Memory; Plasticity and Homeostasis in the healthy hippocampus; Alzheimer's disease; how synaptic transmission goes wrong, long before you can detect cognitive deficits
Memory must involve activity-dependent changes in the network of communication between brain cells. The hippocampus has long been known to be involved in the laying down of memory and much work on this field has concentrated on this area of the brain. Cellular phenomena have been described by which the communication at individual synapses, (the connections between individual neurones), can be strengthened, ('long-term potentiation', LTP) or weakened ('long-term depression', LTD).
In the Edwards lab we are interested in how synapses change and how they react to each other in both health and disease.
1. How synapses work and change in the healthy brain: In healthy mouse and rat brains we use high resolution recording techniques to measure the electrical communication between brain cells in acute and organic brain slices. In addition we can image these cells in detail and observe the changes that occur as connections strengthen and weaken both in response to incoming activity but also in response to changes in neighbouring connections. Understanding such subtle mechanisms is essential to understanding how the healthy network develops and is maintained in terms of general day to day function and the laying down and retrieval of memory. It is also these functions which are likely to go wrong in many neurodegenerative diseases.
2. What goes wrong in Alzheimer's disease: So far there has been no success in treating Alzheimer's disease. Although some drugs temporarily help the symptoms in some people, nothing has been discovered to slow or reverse the progression of the disease. Considering the massive scale of this disease and the devastating effects on the sufferers as well as their families, not to mention the economy, this is an urgent problem to address. Working on the hypothesis that the past failure is because the attempts at treatment come too late, once the brain is already too damaged for repair, we are both studying the earliest changes that occur and collaborating to develop early detection systems so that these early changes could be targetted with new therapies.
Using mice which have human mutations known to occur in Alzheimer's disease and other disease states, we have observed substantial changes in synaptic transmission at very early stages. By understanding these changes we aim to develop new therapies in an attempt to stop the progression of the disease before substantial irreversible damage has occurred. We are also collaborating with Professor Francesca Cordeiro and Dr Li Guo at the Institute of Opthalmology to develop early detection systems using the retina as a window on the brain.

Follow-Up Postings:
Probably not. Stuff gets misshapen because of use - certain parts get pulled tight, others drag, etc. Washing will help. ~ Kit |

Yup, you read that headline right: a British lawyer has called for the age of consent to be lowered to 13 because a dirty old man touching 8th graders' boobs should be totally OK.
London lawyer Barbara Hewson penned an impassioned piece for a contrarian British publication called Spiked in which she wrote about the Jimmy Savile trial, or Operation Yewtree. Simply put, Yewtree investigated multiple allegations that a late British TV host had sexually abused many, many underage girls and boys. The whole trial has reignited concerns in the UK about adult sexual abuse of children and young adults
But now Hewson — A WOMAN!— is concerned that the UK is conducting its own witch hunt, falsely accusing adult men of being sexual predators. "[T]he goings-on at the BBC in past decades are not a patch on what Stead exposed. Taking girls to one's dressing room, bottom pinching and groping in cars hardly rank in the annals of depravity with flogging and rape in padded rooms," she wites. "Touching a 17-year-old's breast, kissing a 13-year-old, or putting one's hand up a 16-year-old's skirt, are not remotely comparable" to rape or gang rapes. And since that's supposedly the only really bad way a young woman can be violated, she now advocates that they "remove complainant anonymity; introduce a strict statute of limitations for criminal prosecutions and civil actions; and reduce the age of consent to 13."

Carlisle-based taxi driver John Moore says the Peugeot E7™ is 'absolutely spot on'. And he should know – before he joined the trade he was a mechanic with the local bus company for 22 years.
John explains: "I left that job four years ago and decided to come into the taxi trade. It's great to be your own boss. I absolutely love it."
John is equally enthusiastic about his new E7 taxi, which he picked up in March 2010. "For a disabled cab I don't think you can go past the E7. I enjoy driving it and it makes going to work an absolute pleasure," John says.
Top Spec
John didn't make his decision on which cab to buy lightly. Before he bought John took a good look up and down the ranks to see what was on offer. It was the E7, designed and manufactured jointly by Peugeot and Cab Direct, that caught his eye.
John says: "The lad who used to do my mechanical work has also become a taxi driver. He bought himself an E7 and was made up with it. I gave it the once over and had no hesitation in going for it."
Among other features the E7 taxi has a specially crafted driver's seat with active, pump-action height and tilt adjustment and extra lumbar support - ideal when you're spending long hours behind the wheel. Excellent road holding and modern suspension mean the ride is as smooth for passengers as it is for you, ensuring a comfortable trip every fare.
John's certainly giving his cab high praise. "It's really well designed. There's bags of space for the luggage and with seven seats for extra passengers, it's the business. Fuel economy is a lot better than other cabs, too."
Access for All
Another big plus point for John is the amount of space that the E7 hackney cab affords him, especially when it comes to wheelchair fares. He explains: "Customers really love the space in the E7 taxi. I think they're as pleased with the new cab as I am! Wheelchair customers, in particular, are over the moon. It takes no time to get them on board."
Wheelchair access is made quick and easy thanks to Cab Direct's clever EasyGlide™ under-floor pull out ramp. E7's wide doorway, large flat-floor area and improved headroom also mean that manoeuvring wheelchair passengers into the right travelling position is simple and straightforward.
Dealer-wise John is equally delighted. "The service I received from Cab Direct was first class. Nothing was too much trouble. Even now, I'm sure if there were any problems they would be sorted out as soon as possible. Everyone involved in the company has been absolutely spot-on all the way along."
As for the cab John concludes: "I would recommend the E7 taxi in a minute. I think it's the best taxi on the road, especially when it comes to wheelchair adaptability."
For more information on the Peugeot E7 call Cab Direct free on 0800 916 3021, email firstname.lastname@example.com or click here.
