I just wanted to try a little shimmer & shine without using sparkly shadow or getting too much of a glittery look. I also didn't want the color to sprinkle onto my cheeks or move anywhere I didn't want it. This is great. I first tested the "waterproof" claims at the local water park & it stayed all day, but some came off when I rubbed my eyes (hours after application) so it's not "smudge-proof", but I wasn't worried about it behind huge sunnies. I'd be more careful if I was going out somewhere nice. It's very easy to use & a fine line makes a big impression, so be aware.
This stuff is awesome for your corner eye to make things pop. It applies easily and has a lot of color. Just be easy because it's a really REALLY soft eyeliner and it will crumble and get in your eye if you are not careful.
Another great product by Rimmel.
A very nice silver color, it's got quite a bit of sparkle. You have to go over a few times to get a really obvious silver color, but only once or twice if you just want a light silver color. Looks nice smudged or as a straight line. Packaging is nice, it's made in Italy, and it's pretty cheap! This is a good color for nights out dancing, clubbing, or just going to any party. P

Safely repartitioning harddisk without backup requirement
I am planning to add a partition for Linux from Scratch onto a harddisk with an existing OS, Windows XP. However, when I searched online on how to add an partition using the lesser accommodating XP as the pre-existing system, each result warned that the existing partition would be destroyed, unless I created a backup of the system. I have five years worth of data on that harddisk, and lack sufficient disk space for a backup.
Using QtParted, I was able to add a partition to an harddisk with an existing system,(Debian), without destroying any data-at least according to my memory. I would like to be assured that there is a way to do just that when I am adding Linux to Windows, rather then the more familiar other way around...preferably without the employment of XP's standard partitioning program, Disk Management.

Welcome to the forums!
I'd recommend trying the PartedMagic LiveCD. Just boot with it and use it to shrink/expand/create/move any partitions as necessary, and you should be good to go.
I've never heard of any backup requirement before, although it is usually a good idea to do so, if possible.oz

I supose I should of clarified-the way that it was written out on all the tutorials using Disk Manager, it sounded like you had to backup or your partition would be wiped, without a chance for recovery.
Regardless, Parted Magic sounds just like what I was looking for. Thanks!

The cheapest sightseeing tour in the world
See all of Medellín, Colombia for a dollar on a city tour via one of the top transport systems in the world. (Jane Sweeney/LPI)
The city of Medellín, located in north-central Colombia, has an inspirational story. Only two decades removed from the height of its notoriously violent past, it is now considered to be one of the safest big cities in Latin America, with character, nightlife and public art that any urban area would envy.
Surprisingly though, it is Medellín's public transport system that is one of the city's biggest highlights . The metro famously played a pivotal role in reducing violence and desperation in Medellín, a miraculous achievement that contributed to it being named one of the top transport systems in the world in 2012 by the international organisation Institute for Transportation and Development Policy. And as a bonus, it offers visitors possibly the least expensive but most comprehensive and photogenic city tour in the world.
The city's impressive elevated metro system, completed in the mid-1990s, was augmented in 2006 and 2008 with the addition of two Metrocable lines. These cable cars, which climb both sides of the valley in which Medellín sits, travel deep into the far-flung and formerly difficult-to-reach favelas (shanty towns) that are located in the surrounding hills and have had a measureable social impact on the city.
Prior to the completion of the cable cars, people stranded in the favelas wanting access to jobs, education, healthcare and even basic shopping had to make a slow and arduous journey down the mountainside to get into the city. Sporadic and unpredictable buses were available in some areas, but mostly people walked – sometimes for hours. This isolation, depravation and hopelessness contributed substantially to Medellín's famous and now rapidly fading history of crime and violence.
The Metrocable has made commuting from even the furthest edges of the favelas a quick, affordable and scenic journey, travelling over the mountain and down into the valley where it seamlessly connects with the trains. Access to the system, including transfers between the trains and Metrocables, which effectively allows for an orientation tour of the entire city, is a refreshingly inexpensive 1,750 pesos -- or about $1.
To get their money's worth, visitors might want to start their tour at one of the metro's terminus stations, either Itagui in the south or Niquia in the north, but the best scenery is along the central stretch of the line, namely the 9km between the Industriales and Acevedo stations.
Taking the train north from Industriales, easy-to-spot highlights include the kitschy faux-township of Pueblito Paisa -- a miniature version of a typical Antioquian town – that looms on the left, followed by Parque San Antonio to the right of the station of the same name. The park contains three sculptures by the prolific artist Fernando Botero, including his Pájaro de Paz (Bird of Peace), which was severely damaged by a guerilla bomb in the 1990s, prompting him to place a replica beside it to highlight the futility of war. Minutes later, just before the Parque Berrio station, you will see one of Botero's most famous works on the right hand side, a female torso known as La Gorda (The Fat Lady), standing in front of a branch of the Banco de la República.
At Parque Berrio station, roughly the half-way point of the tour, get off the train for several more sights from the platform. On the right, visible through the park's thin trees is Medellín's most prominent church, the 16th-century Basílica de la Candelaria. At the northwest end of the platform is the impossible-to-miss, black-and-white, sumptuous Palacio de la Cultura Rafael Uribe Uribe (Palace of Culture), famous for hosting concerts, art expositions and other events.

In 1988, Baker Book House published No Falling Words: Expositions of the Book of Joshua by Dale Ralph Davis as the introductory volume in the series Expositor's Guide to the [OT] Historical Books. The stated purpose of Davis, a Presbyterian pastor and former OT professor at Reformed Theological Seminary, was "to provide a model of what a pastor can do in biblical study if he will sweat over the Hebrew text and assume the text as we have it was meant to be bread from God for his people" (7). Davis fulfilled this purpose superbly in his volume on Joshua. Volumes on Judges (1990) and 1 Samuel (1994) by Davis followed under the Baker imprint. However, after the publication of one more volume on Ruth and Esther by other authors (1995), Baker discontinued the series. Fortunately for biblical expositors, Christian Focus republished the three volumes by Davis discontinued by Baker and have allowed him to complete the three additional volumes on 2 Samuel (1999), 1 Kings (2002), and now 2 Kings (2005). Appreciative readers echo the words of the author of this work on 2 Kings, "I am especially thankful to the kind folks at Christian Focus, who picked up an 'orphaned series' halfway through" (9).
Readers of the previous five volumes by Davis will not be disappointed as they read 2 Kings. All of the strengths of the proceeding expositions reappear in this work. First and foremost, the author concentrates on explaining and applying the biblical text; significant manuscript, lexical, syntactical, historical, and geographical issues are dealt with in footnotes. The footnotes themselves cite good sources and expose the reader to the richness of traditional and contemporary scholarship on 2 Kings. The main text reproduces the exposition to be communicated to the audience. The exposition consistently blends sound exegesis, theological substance, and sound application. Second, the writer anchors the expositional outline to the structure of the biblical text and clearly demonstrates the connection to his readers. Third, the biblical text is explained with vividness and crispness. Fourth, the theological principles observed in a text are precisely articulated. Fifth, apt illustrations from church history, military history, and the writer's own experiences in particular are sprinkled throughout the expositions. Sixth, the author's wit surfaces continually in the writing. For example, one chapter is entitled "The Peril of Church Suppers" (71) and another "W hen God Gave a Preacher the Axe" (101).
Davis is also a master of variety. There is no dull monotony in the thirty expositions found in this work. The outlining at times is descriptive and at other times interpretive. There is also variety in the use of third person and second person in the outlines. Some chapters begin with a lengthy introduction before the exposition, while others delve right into an exposition of the text. In each chapter, Davis is concerned to communicate what the text of 2 Kings is revealing about the character of God and the necessary response of His people. Many times there will be an explicit or implicit connection between the OT text and the NT revelation concerning Jesus, but some of the expositions are content to remain in the OT and give a Yahweh-centered application to the readers.
Today, there is a renewed emphasis on the preaching of OT narrative in evangelical circles (see the review of Steven D. Mathewson's The Art of Preaching Old Testament Narrative below). The six volumes of Ralph Dale Davis, of which 2 Kings: The Power and the Fury is the culmination, are excellent guides for the contemporary expositor as he preaches from the "Former Prophets." Davis has laid an excellent foundation; may many biblical expositors build upon his work as they preach OT narrative.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) - A judge has ordered a convicted child molester to pay $10,000 to the family of his victim for emotional suffering in a rare award for psychological damages from a criminal court.
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reported that the judge on Friday ordered 47-year-old Arnold Luz to make the payment under a state law that allows special restitution for child molestation victims.
Luz, who was convicted of sexual molestation and is on probation, declined comment.
The award was unusual because restitution in criminal cases is commonly confined to paying for expenses associated with the case.
But California law provides payments for child-sex victims, allowing judges to put a price on trauma.
Luz was arrested after acknowledging having phone sex multiple times with the 13-year-old girl.

Hello! I recently planted 3 new irises (Firebreather, Stellar Lights, Beverly Sills) in my yard this spring. This is my second year in this home and I am working really hard this year on getting a garden together.
I am lucky enough to find 3 beautiful irises blooming in my yard this spring that were planted by the original owner. Any idea on their names? Thanks in advance! |

4Fayette had the privilege to be invited to a private tasting and a peek inside of the new authentic Country Thai Restaurant in Lansing, West Virginia at 464 Ames Heights Road just outside of Fayetteville and right up the road from Adventures on The Gorge. We were more than glad to accept invite, meet the owners Bill and Ging, and indulge into Thai cuisine.
For the past year or so we have drove up and down Ames Heights Rd. and always seen a lady in an empty lot with a table full of produce and oriental food. We stopped a few times to pick up some vegetables because they were always very fresh, but we never knew that this was the beginning to what was obviously a solid dream for someone. And by this admirable process to claim that spot hers and start with just a table and now which has become a spectacular location inside and out. There is still some construction left to be done, but it's coming along great!
The exterior has a great covered wrapped around porch which I hope will host small tables or chairs for outside seating. And the moment you walk inside you're invited with bright brilliant orange and green walls, a nice wooden walk up (shown above), excellent dropped chandeliers, wonderful Oriental artwork, stellar along-the-wall bar seating, and a great feel of openness and happy vibes. This place will definitely bring you delight every time due to a well thought out atmosphere.
Now that we've covered the appearance we can discuss the aromas! You can always tell the moment you enter a restaurant when the smell provokes the drool effect. Your senses will be enlightened by freshness and tickled by spices! We had to do our part and introduce ourselves to the others that attended, but trust me when we say our mind was on a plate and a fork. However, Bill was walking around handing out chopsticks after everyone was already fork deep. It's the thought to stay authentic that counts.
Country Thai Restaurant is setup cafeteria style where you walk up to the food line, point to what you want (You'll want everything), get your beverage and to your table. This method seemed to work effectively with the folks that were there Monday evening. Anticipation however does generate while you're standing in line and others are walking by you on route to destination bliss.
I'm not certain if they will continue to go the easy convenient route with hassle-free paper plates or transition over to dinnerware once they open to the public. Regardless you're not eating the plate so whichever they choose to use is fine with us.
Once you take your first bite into whichever thing you go for first on your plate you will know that you are somewhere special. The food meets all standards of being fresh and whole ingredients. From the egg rolls, to the noodles, the chicken and rice, steamed veggies, all the way to the dumplings. Note that the dumplings are by far the best I have ever tasted and several others agree with that statement. We even suggested a dumpling eating contest. Now if they go for it… eh.
After treating my taste buds to this they instantly became my taste Bros. And unlike most Asian/Oriental places we've ate I didn't feel sluggish or hungry again an hour later. I definitely had a pleasant feeling of satisfaction.
Whether you're a local or a tourist from out-of-state, we highly recommend that you make plans to make yourself a much happier person by eating at the Country Thai Restaurant! And you never know, we may just be able to get them on board for future Free Food Fridays. We will work on keeping everyone posted.
They are currently finishing the final construction and staffing the location. If you would have any questions pertaining to their grand opening, career opportunities, or planning a visit then feel free to contact them on their Facebook Country Thai Restaurant WV or give them a call at (304) 640-3800

Muskogee Woman Sentenced To 48 Months For Wire Fraud
Muskogee, Oklahoma - The United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, announced that DAVANNA DEAMBER DOTSON, a/k/a Deamber Dotson, a/k/a Deamber Dobson, a/k/a Amber Bradley, a/k/a Brandi Marie Smith, a/k/a Deamber Danielle Dotson, a/k/a Alexis, age 41, of Muskogee, Oklahoma, was sentenced to 48 months imprisonment, followed by 3 years of supervised release for Wire Fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343. DOTSON was also ordered to pay $14,976.21 in restitution.
The charge arose from an investigation by the Muskogee Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The defendant was indicted in November, 2012 and entered a plea of guilty in December, 2012.
The Indictment alleged that from on or about May 1, 2009, through September 31, 2012, in the Eastern District of Oklahoma, the defendant devised and intended to devise a scheme to defraud and to obtain money and property by means of materially false and fraudulent pretenses, representations and promises.
The investigation revealed that the defendant would contact individual families looking to adopt a child or adoption agencies, misrepresenting she had a baby that she would like to place for adoption. Her scheme involved families and agencies in various states to include: Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Louisiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Virginia and Texas.
The Honorable Ronald A. White, District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, in Muskogee, presided over the hearing. The defendant will remain in the custody of the United States Marshal Service pending transportation to the designated federal facility in which she will serve her nonparolable sentence.
Assistant United States Attorney Melody Nelson represented the United States.

More reviews by mrsbennett1617
This product is fantastic!! If your looking for a flawless FULL coverage foundation for problematic skin, this is the product for you. It covers all my redness, discoloration, acne breakouts, and all my acne scarring, without breaking you out! I have been using this product for years and have yet to find anything that compares to it. The only bad thing I can say is that its a little pricey, but a little goes a long way with this product(get about 7 months) so the price is worth it!!!

Where do I start? I love MAC Studio Fix Liquid and the Powder Plus Foundation because of the full coverage it gives me. But I broke out terribly I had to switch to YSL Youth Liberator Serum Foundation which promised to even out skin tone but it didn't help me in any way. I returned it after two weeks. I was about to buy Chanel Mat Lumiere even if I wasn't satisfied with the coverage and came across Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Coverage and oh boy did I love it the first application so I bought it instead! What they say in the previous reviews that a little bit goes a long, long way! Less than a pea size is enough to cover ALL imperfections I have unlike in YSL I do two pumps and still no coverage! This foundation is my life saver!!! I mean it!

I have been using this product for the past 6 months ,in the beginning I was using it as my foundation for my entire face, however it is very matte finish and at my age I am looking for a more dewy finish. The coverage is absolutely amazing, I have rosacea on my nose and cheeks and this takes care of that problem. I am currently using it as more of a concealer on my nose and cheeks and I use another foundation(dewier) for the rest of my face. I will definitely continue using this as my concealer, if you are looking for a full coverage foundation that is a matte finish this one is worth every penny. A very tiny amount(half the size of a pea) covers the entire face so it is very cost effective.
I just wish Estee Lauder would come out with a dewy finish in this line and a few more shades in the pink undertone family.

years and years of using this product have made me consider it as a best friend.. sometimes ignored, sometimes not used enough.. but always loved and loved back.
I used this a lot for photography -- it gave the most flawless finish. Then the formula and packaging was changed, and then I got a few flashbacks so have been using the MAC Pro cream in it's place.. but, to be honest, this is my HG.
I always have two tubes in rotation and always travel with one tube. The tube packaging is fantastic - lightweight and easy to tote along. I hate the big clunk jars with big open mouths.
The texture of this product is dense -- not thick just dense but that makes it so easy to build up or out. You can mix this with moisturizer, illuminator or even your spf for hot humid weather (I have and it works beautifully). I am going to use it this way around my under eye and nose/cheek area which are the areas so affected by menopausal sweats. The product has always worked for me when I have deep deep undereye discoloration from lack of sleep.
Mix this on top part of your hand, warm up and apply with fingers then use your blending brush or beauty blender to meld the whole face.
amazing finish and one of EL's best products imo.
will always repurchase.

I can't believe I have never written a review for this foundation, I love it! I bought it on a whim last year walking through macy's because I had bad acne scarring, acne-prone, sensitive skin. The saleslady tested it on her arm for me. Literally one drop covered her whole arm! Okay great, a little goes a long way. But my main concern was if it would break me out, because I've had plenty of foundations do that to me. She assured me that the she never heard any complaints, so I bought it, I think its only $34? Not a bad price for what you get! It definitely gives you FULL coverage. I put three dots on my face and just buff it in with a flat top brush and I get all the coverage, but it does not look overdone. I've had the one tube for almost a year now and i think it can last me another 3 months. Has never oxidized, never breaks me out, stays on all day. I don't use concealer anymore, this foundation takes care of everything. A+ from me! I don't think I'll be buying another foundation anytime soon.
I have done a lot of research to find the perfect foundation, and I finally found it. There are certainly bad reviews for this foundation and the reason is because they don't know how to use it. You can't just put this on your face real fast and run out the door there is a certain way you need to put this foundation on in order for it to work for you. It took me a while to really learn how to use it and these are my steps.... 1) moisturizer 2) primer (tarte clean slate 12 hr) or any primer of your choice. 3) Mac fix+ 4) put Very little foundation and blend with your beauty blender. This gives me full coverage and it doesn't look cakey because you use very little since you don't need a lot. This doesn't make me break out either. After 6 months I have completed my search for a foundation.

I love this foundation on the days I want full coverage!!! You need so little to cover everything!! I have acne scars and I don't need concealer. I use a damp beauty blender to apply this and it looks lovely!! I use it especially on the days I work 12 hours. So this is on for 15 hours that day!! I've even returned the concealers I've recently bought cuz I use this as my concealer for spots instead. I have sooo many foundations it's ridiculous!! For full coverage I have KVDs lock it and lancome's 24 hr. This beats them both!!!
Update 11/12/13: Still loving this foundation!! Lately for daily makeup, I've been mixing it w/Dior's Hydralife BB cream and OMG beautiful results!!!! It still covers all my post acne marks and scarring!!! I just ordered another bottle from Macy's as backup just in case they discontinue it. My KVD and Lancome 24 hr are not getting any attention from me now. LOL!!!

I Just bought this product, after I saw all the reviews. And I must say it glides on beautifully and you really need next to nothing for a full coverage application.Im Nc20 in mac foundation and I got this is the colour "creamy vanilla". I personally found that its lasting power is fairly average, this could be due to my combination and slightly oily skin, although it was set with a primer and a setting powder. Due to the SPF unfortunately its a no go for photo's but really beautiful and flawless with no cakiness that other foundations give after a few hours. I much prefer it over my garnier bb cream or my mac pro long wear throughout the day. The price in Australia is $50 which is hefty for a small amount of product, however I will repurchase purely because its flawless.

i thrive on trying to find the most coverage foundation I can.... im not a make up artist I don't use brushes im a normal girl who wants a bloody good foundation I don't care about sheerness I don't like my skin I need something to cover my health problems with my skin that I have... and before your thinking no its not acne! I read a hell of a lot of reviews before considering to buy this foundation and one day I went town and though bugger it I absolutely hate face to face interaction with make up counter chicks she was nice enough but no offence I cant be bothered I had a dark foundation on that day and I hate anyone touching my face especially my jaw line and neck and she couldn't see a match she said a light shade I said no I cant wear light as ill have a tanned body and a white face and I hate it... so I didn't take her advice and got a deep tan shade or something sorry cannot be bothered to get up and have a look at the shade im a load of good! anyhows that evening I went on a random trip to Birmingham with all my shopping in hand no clothes just my shopping thank god I had bought that foundation I was please when I first applied a little light for me! see told you I should of gone darker good job I did go darker than what she said! anyways because it was so expensive I didn't want to use all the time so I used it excited when going to work one day and I have never had a foundation rub off so much as this does I touch it and its on my finger hours later but its still on my face I think I used too much or something... so over all its a great coverage would defo buy again don't use all the time due to price but I like it in my make up bag!!! thank you estee lauder!
For full coverage, this is my favorite foundation, hands down. I have very sensitive, acne-prone combo skin that breaks out within hours of wearing a silicone-based foundation. The fact that this product is mercifully free of cones is what made me curious about it to begin with, and I am so glad I tried it out! I can get a completely flawless, air-brushed complexion with this, without paying for it in a crop of those annoying acne papules......
It is the most full coverage product I've ever found. Redness, sunspots, PIH, etc. disappear under this. Being so opaque, application is really key to achieving a natural, non-cakey look--I apply a few tiny dots to the center of my face and then blend outward with a damp BB sponge or foundation brush (I've actually been using Sephora's Pro blending brush #134 for this, with good results). One thin, well-buffed layer is usually enough coverage, but if I have any residual redness or spot correcting to do, I apply a tiny bit more just to those areas. I do use a separate undereye concealer, but for my face, this product is foundation and concealer in one.
Oil control is moderate to good. I live in a warm, humid climate and if I don't set this it will start to look shiny after about 4-5 hours. But if I set it well and am mostly staying indoors, it lasts 10-12 hours, easily. Because it's so full-coverage, I typically only use this for nights out, or as a spot concealer on top of my CC cream for daytime wear. If wearing all over your face, you really need to moisturize prior to application or the pigment will cling to dry/flaky patches.
I have neutral fair skin (somewhere around NC 17) and the shade Creamy Ivory Light is a good match. However, EL is apparently introducing more shades with a wider array of undertones, and right now my color is impossible to find either locally or online :( So for now, I'm relying on the kindness of a Dillard's SA who gave me a sample. But as soon as the new shades are debuted, I'll be at the EL counter getting a shade match and hopefully a full tube to call my own!
