The colors are so vibrant, highly pigmented and they glide on smooth. I like these set of blushes better and the e/s colors are so gorgeous, better than 88 ultra shimmer imo. Love it!!!!
How is this product not listed at all on this website??!!! This thing is a flippin' gem. I absolutely LOVE IT. First - very cheap. 25 bucks gets you 32 really nice, soft, highly pigmented, subtle shimmer shades that seem to be in large, deep pans, and 12 large-sized, widely varied color selections of blush. It comes in a great sturdy case, with two surprisingly decent brushes. No mirror, but that's not an issue for me. I think the variety of shades, both for eyes and cheeks is immense. You get lots of neutrals, awesome chocolates and bronzes, and many, many bright, colors with lots of payoff. They are all shimmery, but it's not too intense. The shimmer is subtle; I have no problems wearing this stuff to work. I find myself reaching for this palette all the time. Some of the blush shades seem a bit odd, or too bright, but if you tap your brush, and proceed with a gentle hand, you can make them work. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone. Period.

It's been a long week filled with crime and horror. Admit it, sometimes this stuff starts to wear on you. So to celebrate weekends, spring and happy hearts, here's a video filled with good people doing good things. Of course, in the spirit of the gritty, grainy footage you expect to see on a crime site, it's a compilation of Russian dash cam videos. Enjoy!
In this video recorded last month, a driver in the northern Russian city of Arkhangelsk pulls up to a violent scene: four dogs mauling a woman. The driver's arrival scares off the dogs, and the disoriented woman picks herself up off the snowy road. The driver gets out to help her, leaving his car on and his dash cam running.

Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Be ye not many masters, my brethren, knowing that you receive the greater judgment. | 1 Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. |
2 For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man. He is able also with a bridle to lead about the whole body. | 2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check. |
3 For if we put bits into the mouths of horses, that they may obey us: and we turn about their whole body. | 3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. |
4 Behold also ships, whereas they are great and are driven by strong winds, yet are they turned about with a small helm, whithersoever the force of the governor willeth. | 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. |
5 Even so the tongue is indeed a little member and boasteth great things. Behold how small a fire kindleth a great wood. | 5 Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. |
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is placed among our members, which defileth the whole body and inflameth the wheel of our nativity, being set on fire by hell. | 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. |
7 For every nature of beasts and of birds and of serpents and of the rest is tamed and hath been tamed, by the nature of man. | 7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, |
8 But the tongue no man can tame, an unquiet evil, full of deadly poison. | 8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. |
9 By it we bless God and the Father: and by it we curse men who are made after the likeness of God. | 9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. |
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. | 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. |
11 Doth a fountain send forth, out of the same hole, sweet and bitter water? | 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? |
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear grapes? Or the vine, figs? So neither can the salt water yield sweet. | 12 My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. |
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge, among you? Let him shew, by a good contestation, his work in the meekness of wisdom. | 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. |
14 But if you have bitter zeal, and there be contention in your hearts: glory not and be not liars against the truth. | 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. |
15 For this is not wisdom, descending from above: but earthly, sensual, devilish. | 15 Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. |
16 For where envying and contention is: there is inconstancy and every evil work. | 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. |
17 But the wisdom that is from above, first indeed is chaste, then peaceable, modest, easy to be persuaded, consenting to the good, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, without dissimulation. | 17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. |
18 And the fruit of justice is sown in peace, to them that make peace. | 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness. |

Selling nostalgia
By Amy Cobb from May 2014 Issue
Credit: Su Festen
Stop for a sandwich, directions, or sit for a spell at one of Kentucky's remaining country stores
Barbershop, bus stop, post office, town hall—country stores once did it all before shopping malls and chain stores existed. Today, they are still the heart of many small Kentucky towns. Step into living
history and spend a lazy summer day soaking up the nostalgia and
reminiscing about the "good old days" at a country store.
Blevins Grocery
In business for nearly 84 years, Blevins Grocery in Preston has been owned by Helen Blevins and her husband, Rube, for 45 of those years. Blevins, born and raised in Preston, remembers shopping there as a child with her grandmother. While much has changed in the world since then, time has seemingly stood still at this quaint country store in Bath County.
Footsteps still thump across the wooden floor, swept two or three times daily to keep the dust down. A vintage King-O-Heat coal stove in the back provides heat and a storytelling hub during the winter. And in the summer, the regulars gather out front. "Just as soon as it's the least bit warm," Blevins says, "men are out there on the porch. And they whittle all the time."
The store, in its original condition with no running water, restrooms, or air conditioning, has also been untouched by technology. Blevins says the cash register doesn't even work. "We have an adding machine, and we just count our money out."
Besides stopping in for the renowned Preston steak sandwich and a cold bottle of Ale-8-One,
customers keep returning because they feel welcome. "Customers can come as they are," says Blevins. "They can stay and loaf as long as they want to."
Rabbit Hash General Store
Watch steamboats roll down the Ohio River while sitting a spell on the covered porch of Rabbit Hash General Store, established in 1831 in Boone County. Proprietor Terrie Markesbery says the array of eclectic antiques like a cream separator, scales, and a spool cabinet give the store a museum feel, steeped in history. Part of that history includes surviving three major floods, one that completely submerged the store in 1937, leaving mud in the attic.
And while this rustic store has retained the feel of a past era, present-day shoppers will find modern products, many of them locally made. Markesbery says, "We have a little bit of everything." Besides groceries and other staples, the store offers hand-picked items like candy, coffee, T-shirts, candles, and memorabilia.
Markesbery attributes the store's longevity to the community, which she says has always had an interest in seeing it thrive. "It's a small business," she says. "And it needs continual support."
For visitors, Rabbit Hash General Store isn't just a quick trip to buy something. It's about soaking in the ambiance of what the world used to be like. "It's a slice of Americana," Markesbery says. "It's unlike any other place. It's magical."
Stull's Country Store
"If we don't have it, you don't need it," says Marlinda Stull, owner of Stull's Country Store on Highway 144 in northern Meade County. While owned by a member of the Stull family since 1972, the store has served the
Andyville community and northern Meade County since the turn of the 20th century.
Stull's, served by Meade County RECC, offers grocery staples, a deli, and a gas station, all with a down-home feel. Rocking chairs and a checkerboard greet customers on the front porch. The antiques, like pedal cars, vintage signs, and a cash register, that line the walls inside the store have a history all their own.
The store is also well-known for its pulled pork barbecue and pork tenderloin sandwiches, made fresh daily except Fridays during Lent, when it offers fried fish, fried frog legs, and a good microbrew. With a recent smoker purchase, the store will serve smoked barbecue beginning this month.
Maybe most importantly, Stull's serves up a heaping portion of Southern hospitality. Is your car in need of a fill-up? They'll pump your gas for you. Stull has even been known to lend a gas can or delay closing on occasion to accommodate customers. "We never meet a stranger," Stull says.
The store is one of the few places left in Andyville where folks still gather to swap stories and share local news with their neighbors. "It hearkens back to times when life was simpler," says Stull. "It's what we do down here."
The Hitching Post & Old Country Store
Since 1941, The Hitching Post & Old Country Store has been a favorite Land Between The Lakes-area destination. The 175-year-old log walls, from disassembled cabins that were rebuilt at the present Aurora location, are lined with displays of old-fashioned toys and old-time candy, as well as Kentucky-made products such as relish, jams, sorghum, and honey.
One customer favorite is the homemade fudge, in 45 flavors from basic chocolate and peanut butter to the more unique jalapeño and apple pie moonshine. Another attraction is the All American Soda Showdown. This weekly soda pop tasting boasts more than 150 nostalgic and gourmet flavors (20 each week), including Dang Butterscotch Root Beer, Lemmy Lemonade, and fun flavors with kid appeal like Dog Drool, Zombie Brain Juice, and Bug Barf. The soda pop, made with real cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup, is served in glass bottles.
A trip isn't complete before snapping a photo of the 100-year-old life-size papier mâché horse out front, or strolling the grounds to see the copper moonshine still, blacksmith shop, and antique buggies in the buggy barn.
Owner Su Festen says The Hitching Post is a breath of fresh air, bringing back fun childhood memories. "It's one of those hidden treasures that people don't forget coming to," she says.

There's a new general store in town: Poppy & Clover
Follow a winding country road through western Hopkins County to the small town of Dalton, and you'll stumble upon a newly opened general store called Poppy & Clover. Originally Taylor's General Store, it was built in 1923 and served the community for about 50 years before closing in the 1970s. It was then used as a workshop until Riley Jo Dever and her mother and store co-owner, Gina Boyd, purchased the business and began renovations in February 2013.
This mother-and-daughter team preserved the one-room store's original wooden floors and counters, along with several vintage metal signs. The walls were refurbished with lumber cut from Dever's farm.
With the addition of new windows and a new ceiling also came the new name, Poppy & Clover, in remembrance of Bill Clark, Boyd's father and Dever's grandfather. Clark, affectionately called Poppy, was a master four-leaf clover huntsman. Dever inherited this skill and says she has clovers hidden in books all over her house.
Poppy & Clover officially opened for business in September 2013 and features many one-of-a-kind items handmade by Dever and Boyd.
"Our homemade products are a great alternative to other high-volume products you may find at other stores," says Dever. These products include 100 percent Kentucky soy wax candles, available in 14 fragrances, including Kentucky Toddy and Butternut Pumpkin. Four new candle fragrances–Pipe Smoke, Maple-Glazed Bacon, Leather, and Barnfire Bliss–were created to appeal to men.
Homemade soaps, made with natural products, boast 10 fragrances. Other popular natural items are lip balm and deodorant.
Handmade pillows are a top-seller, particularly a customized-to-order pillow with a hand-painted design of Kentucky that is personalized with a small heart shape left unpainted, indicating the customer's geographical location within the state. There's also the store's No. 1 wedding gift, the Established pillow, hand-painted with the newlyweds' last name and wedding date.
Dever's grandmother, Joyce James, adds to the family affair by hand-sewing items such as zipper pouches, purses, and canvas bags, and creating original paintings.
Dever believes it's important for customers to shop locally and offers patrons several Kentucky-made products, like Ruth Hunt Candies from Mt. Sterling and D's Jerky from Dixon. Visitors can also enjoy sitting in rocking chairs on the covered front porch while sipping a cold Dr Pepper bottled in Madisonville or Ale-8-One bottled in Winchester.
Future plans at Poppy & Clover include a wedding registry and seasonal events. And at the request of some lifelong Dalton residents, sandwiches can be purchased on Sandwich Days scheduled throughout the year.
But one thing that will stay the same is the time Dever and Boyd spend making items to offer their customers.
"Our store's unique because we put a lot of love into our products," Dever says. "I feel like a lot of people are looking for that."

Last summer I grew a large Elephant Ear plant from a large bulb that I got from Home Depot for about 5 dollars. It grew great and eventually I overwinter in wood shavings in a cool place and it survived. So here is my question when i look at the bulb now the old bulb is at the bottom and it appears that a new bulb formed right on top of it. Looks almost like a snowman, I can wiggle where they connect but I am afriad to separate them until posting in here. I have attached two picture for you to see, I need some advice on if I should separate them. One bulb on right connected to new bulb from growing season on left, sorry took picture sideways with cell phone.

Follow-Up Postings:
Hi dsacco85, What you may have is probably Colocasia esculenta, Taro. Edible corms. Pics of the leaf should help in identification. As to the corm, yes you can detach the lower, mother corm, from the upper corm. Especially if it is already loose. I'd do that a week or so before planting in Spring. Are you zone 6? Often the mother corm will have rotted away by the time you lift for overwintering. If the old corm is hard it is likely fine and you can plant this in spring as well and offsets should form. Colocasia corms must be kept dry which it sounds like you're doing. While it appears that where you cut the petioles, leaf stems is fine, please take care not to cut too close to the corm. The larger offset may be removed a week or so before planting in spring, to allow the break or cut to dry, as well. Hope this helps. Evan |
When you separate the old and new tubers, dust the wounds with some ground cinnamon - it will help to dry and heal them, and will act as an antifungal agent. |
ctn, I'd read that about cinnamon somewhere. Nice to have confirmation that it really works. I'll start doing that regularly this spring. Thanks. Evan |
Thanks for posting this question, dsacco85. I hope you don't mind me adding to this thread but since it's the same subject I thought it would be better to keep these questions together for others who might be looking for the same answers later. I also bought one of the giant elephant ear bulbs from Home Depot, it's very different from Colocasia. Mine grew from a grapefruit sized bulb to 2 grapefruit sized bulbs stacked one atop the other when I dug it last fall. The bottom bulb has shriveled badly over the winter but there are several smaller bulbs embedded into it. I'm very glad to read I can remove the lower section and plant the upper section seperate, should I dig out the smaller bulbs from the mother bulb or should I plant the whole thing and plan to seperate the bulbs this fall? Some could be easily detatched, but others are firmly embedded. BTW, one of side bulbs broke off as I was loosening soil on Monday, by Wednesday it appears to have calloused over nicely. I was thinking of dusting them with old rooting hormone but cinnamon seems like a much better idea. Also, I would agree with Evan that perhaps you should leave more top when you cut back next fall. I left about a foot of stem on mine and it dried quite well over the winter. On the other hand, my mother bulb did shrivel over the winter, I wonder if that would have a difference? Fun thread. Jeanne |

I also bought one of the giant elephant ear bulbs from Home Depot, it's very different from Colocasia. It's very different from my knee high Colocasia, rather. |
Hi Jeanne. Species Colocasia esculenta regularly top 6' here from the larger corms. The original corms I bought from HD 4 years ago were larger than those I now get, probably due to the shorter growing season. Last year I experimented with yautia, Xanthosoma robusta, which they sell at the local Spanish markets for the price of potatoes. Nice big EEars. Is the mother bulb hard or spongy? |
Hi, Evan. The mother bulbs is quite spongey. There are about a half dozen eyes that are firm and, upon closer look, firmly embedded in it. Two are about half way down the bulb, the other four are near the top of the mother bulb. Since the top of the mother bulb slightly firmer than the bottom, my personal thought is to dig out the bottom two and leave the upper four in a slice of the mother bulb. I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on the subject. I bought my EE last February, stuffed it under the bed and forgot about it until almost June. I was so glad to see it do as well as it did. This year I may get it in the ground in March, depending on what the weather looks like when the wound has calloused over. Two bulblets were potted up earlier this week. I'll see if I can get a good picture in the morning. Thank you. Jeanne |
Hi all, I'm surprised of the difficulty some are having keeping the original tuber. However storage should be in a cool dark location so it goes dormant. If kept in temps above 50 degrees or so it won't go dormant and will shrivel due to lack of water. I'm here in NE Pa and esculenta is the only specie HD sells here in tuber form so more than likely that is what you have. Scott |
Thinking back when I first bought these, three, all had a firm mother corm still attached when I lifted in fall. Made a beautiful hourglass shape. I separated 2 mother corms and all remained firm throughout winter. Planted all 5 and all did fine. Basement storage in paper bags with perlite. I don't use perlite anymore as it's so messy. Temps are around 50's low 60's F and DRY. I'm sure you're right about the 50F Scott but just don't have a spot that cold. These days the mother corms are usually, but not always, gone or very rotted by the time I lift. Because they're smaller to start with? Jeanne, From what you've written seems to me you know what needs doing and that's what I'd do. If yours are soft I'd cut away all the soft rot, see what's left and cut off whatever seems right. Then dust w/cinnamon. These things are very prolific here and by years end you'll probably be giving them away. One of the things I did early on was peel off the dried petioles from the corm as soon as I could, usually in January. I'm thinking that's a bad idea as it promotes moisture loss. Now I just store them on there side. ?? |
Hi Evan, thanks for the boost of confidence. That's exactly what I did. The lower bulblets dried away to nothing and aren't usable but the upper plate looks good and is drying nicely. I can see how these like to multiply, it would be nice to have a hedge of these along the back of my garden. I'm sure they would go like hotcakes at the plant swap too. Thanks again! Jeanne |
Jeanne if I understand what your saying you thought that because the tubers had sprouted it was a disaster. Not so most of the various species of plant tubers I store over the winter begin to sprout in February and March which is normal for them to do and means they made it through the winter. Scott |

Council approves $7.5 million senior center bondJuly 11, 2014 |
By Carley Dangona At a special meeting on June 30, the City Council approved the funding for the building of the center. Forish Construction Co. Inc. of Westfield is the contractor for the project. According to Council on Aging Executive Director Tina Gorman, the design is complete and the "nitty-gritty" details of the center such as furnishings and paint colors are being chosen. She anticipated the ground breaking would take place by the end of July. "We're thrilled. Forish is chomping at the bit," Gorman said. The goal is for the outside construction to be completed in time for winter so the builders can continue working on the inside of the center through the snowy season. The new center will be located on the Noble Street. The design includes two wings: a one-story wing and a two-story wing. A large multipurpose room with a folding, soundproofed partition that seats 240 people is a main feature of the building. It will include a 113-space parking area and two points of entry. A two-story, library/community living space, a gym, an arts and crafts room, a computer classroom and a billiards room will also be included. The right side of the building will include an expansion space if needed for future growth. "We're not looking back, we're looking forward," Gorman said regarding the fact that the first petition for the project dates back 20 years. Gorman said that prior to the vote and throughout the design process, she has taken the time to address the questions and concerns of the councilors. She said she has met with most of them on an individual basis. For Gorman, the vote was not a surprise. She stated that everyone involved in the design of the project "did their homework" to ensure a cost-effective center that meets the needs of the city's "older adults." Gorman added that the center hosted an "impromptu celebration" the day after the vote in honor of the council's decision. |

An insidious spam botnet attacks Charly
While going about his normal duties, Linux Magazine author Charly Kühnast was hit with a mean attack. Charly's separate anti-spam server, which sits in front of his mail server, saved him from the mail storm.
A sunny Tuesday in July. I'm just typing my Sysadmin column for Linux Magazine. It's 2.00 pm by the time I take a glance at the monitor that gives me the latest load and traffic data for the critical servers I manage. Lo and behold, the reject line in the spam filter graph has just skyrocketed (See Figure 1). The article will have to wait. The server is rejecting large quantities of mail at an early stage of the SMTP dialog. I suspect a wave of spam with clumsily spoofed envelopes. That's nothing new: for each legitimate email I receive, I get at least two spam mails. But I still decide to open an SSH connection to the spam filter, which is running on a separate machine, and I can't believe my eyes when I discover 140 parallel SMTP connections. That's ten times the normal level. And it's unusual for the server just to drop the connections like that.

World 7: Pounding it Out
September 8, 2009 in Special Features, World 007 News, World News
Newly Unfolding Events: The most notable occurrence in world 7 this past week was the combining of PTT-G and PTT-B into one tribe: PTT. The move apparently was not without its stressors, as one of PTT-G's top players and 3rd largest player in the gameworld did not join the new tribe. Instead, Mynizzle, the disgruntled -G player, temporarily joined with Kylan in a reformed T.F.B Elite tribe, then left to create his own solo tribe just a couple days later. What does all this mean?? Has PTT become a slum of internal unrest, or has the merge brought them closer into a single unified team? The same questions could be asked of -WE-, with kylan leaving and recreating T.F.B. On top of all this, reports have been swirling (Enhanced by PTT propoganda) of FxF and -WE- relations turning sour. So are new changes afoot in world 7 that could bring back a glimmer of hope to the PTT team? Who knows. Only time will tell, but it is clear that at least some things will remain the same forever: PTT will always boot members that are getting nobled rapidly.
Random Stuff: Lazerus had the idea to come up with some of the worst tribal plans/ideas that have been made thus far in world 7. This was his short and abridged, albeit funny, list:
1. Troy/EMP attempting to backstab TFB and thusly getting themselves destroyed in a hasty manner
2. THE's requirement for all players to noble five(5) 100-point barbs this past spring (almost none of the players survived in THE long enough to see their weeds grow up)
3. PTT attacking carlyle… again and again and again with a unique type of failure on each major operation.
I couldn't think of anything worse/funnier than these three, so I figured it was a pretty good top-3. Thanks, laz!
WarStats Summaries for the past month are actually the best that PTT has seen since the start of the war. Here they are :

New Jersey Nets 115, Denver Nuggets 99
The Nets are like, "Pssssht. We don't even need Carmelo. We've already got Travis Outlaw." And it's true — they definitely have Travis Outlaw. However, they'd still probably be OK with having Carmelo.
Indiana Pacers 104, Toronto Raptors 93
Frank Vogel is the answer.
Miami Heat 117, Cleveland Cavaliers 90
Pretty amazing little stat, courtesy of the Associated Press — last year, the Cavaliers were the first team to hit 40 wins on the season, and this year they're the first to lose 40 games. I wonder what the difference is.
Memphis Grizzlies 100, Orlando Magic 97
Dwight Howard got called for his league-leading 17th technical foul with five seconds left, giving the Grizzlies an extra free throw that resulted in the Magic having to shoot a desperation three to tie the game. Excellent control of emotions and great display of leadership.
Dallas Mavericks 102, Washington Wizards 92
Not much to say about a 10-point Dallas win against the Wizards at home. Basically what you'd expect and Andray Blatche didn't really do anything too silly. Moving on.
Utah Jazz 83, Charlotte Bobcats 78
A win's a win, and Utah really needed one, so word up to them. However, this is the fourth time in the last six games that the Jazz failed to top 85 points. That's a worry.
Los Angeles Clippers 105, Milwaukee Bucks 98
Nine straight home wins for the Clippers and they got news that Eric Gordon is now listed as day-to-day and could make his return this week. Pretty good night. Pretty, pretty good.
