Google Finally Makes Up Their Mind About PageRank Sculpting With The No Follow Tag
So, last week at SMX Advanced, Matt Cutts mentioned that the nofollow tag no longer works as we once thought it did. He mentioned that the nofollowed links actually flow PageRank.
Well today Matt Cutts made his official statement: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/pagerank-sculpting/
Summary: Page rank sculpting using the nofollow tag no longer works to our desired effect.
So what happens when you have a page with "ten PageRank points" and ten outgoing links, and five of those links are nofollowed? Let's leave aside the decay factor to focus on the core part of the question. Originally, the five links without nofollow would have flowed two points of PageRank each (in essence, the nofollowed links didn't count toward the denominator when dividing PageRank by the outdegree of the page). More than a year ago, Google changed how the PageRank flows so that the five links without nofollow would flow one point of PageRank each.
So, before you could take PageRank from other pages and transfer it to you more important pages in hope of getting them to rank higher. (See Below)
Well now that is not the case. Nofollowed links now pass PageRank. (See Below)
So what the hell does this mean to us?
Well don't worry PageRank sculpting has been around way before the nofollow tag. The nofollow tag just made it much easier to implement. You can still deploy your no follow tactic with the use of iframes, flash, and Javascript in your site. However, this can sometimes get complicated for the average webmaster or website owner.
So just relax and do not worry about PageRank sculpting!? WHAT?! Yea that's right don't worry about it because a solid site link architecture will solve this problem. A good start is to link to more important pages higher up in your site structure (like off your homepage, see image below).
Also, implementing flat site architecture is recommended. Check out SEOmoz's white board Friday video regarding this:
SEOmoz Whiteboard Friday - Flat Site Architecture from Scott Willoughby on Vimeo.
What else did we learn from Matt Cutt's post and this announcement:
- More than a year ago, Google changed how the PageRank flows so that the five links without nofollow would flow one point of PageRank each. This could mean that expert SEO testing is usually worthless.
- 10-15% of the PageRank on any given page disappearing before the PageRank flows along the outlinks. I like to call this PageRank erosion.
- Linking to high-quality sites does not help your PageRank, however other parts of Google's system would encourage/reward those links. Sounds like outbound links to high quality sites can help sites ranking in general. This makes sense to me because it helps Google in defining what niche / industry / keyword groupings your site belongs to.
- Google does not expect this to change again.
- People are scared about blog commenting. Think about, if I got a story on the homepage of reddit or digg, which attracts a large amount of links. All the comments I would received would be bleeding PageRank and devalue the PageRank of the post.
Want to read more about this? No problem, here you go:

- PageRank Sculpting Is Dead! Long Live PageRank Sculpting!

We had a family visit to our old stomping grounds in Nebraska last week. As we were driving back Sunday on the interstate, at least twice we passed billboards about South Dakota's "True Environmentalists". There has been a relatively widespread campaign in the state, as the same type of ads have appeared on TV. And who supposedly are South Dakota's "True Environmentalists"? Farmers. At least that's the point of the ad campaign.
I do a lot of driving around the state when I bird. I've seen most of the state, especially the eastern half of the state where cultivated cropland dominates the landscape. The LAST thing I ever equate farmers with is environmentalism. In fact, it's damned depressing driving around and seeing what's being done with the little "habitat" that's left in the eastern part of the state. Crop prices are high, and farmers are trying to squeeze every bit of production out of their land. Hey, that's what farmers do…it's their living. I understand that. BUT…I want to laugh out loud (or cry) every time I see these stupid ads about South Dakota's "True Environmentalists".
The amount of drain tile being put in around the southeast part of the state is amazing. It's an area that has a long history of use for cultivated crops, yet farmers are putting in drain tile in record levels as they expand their fields into areas that were often too wet to cultivate. I take gravel roads for most of my 15-mile drive to work, just for the chance of potentially running across some interesting birds. The "hotspots" for birding on my drive to work are few and far between, and are disappearing fast. Tiny little wetland areas that I used to drive by are now gone, with drain tile funneling water away as fast as it can percolate into the soil. Former small patches of grassland, even heavily grazed grassland, have been plowed under and planted in corn or soybeans. As a co-worker pointed out to me this week, farmers are even starting to utilize ditches next to gravel roads, either plowing right up to the edge of the road, or installing electric fence so livestock can graze in the ditches.
There's one organic farm on my way to work. Other than that, farmers are using fertilizer and pesticides and record levels. Ground water in many areas contain very high levels of nitrates, and increasing amounts of pesticides. Water bodies in the eastern part of the state are often green yucky messes in the summer, due to excess fertilization from adjacent farm fields.
"True Environmentalists"? Give me a freakin' break. As I said, I understand that farmers are in it to make a living. But South Dakota farmers are about as interested in being "True Environmentalists" as Republicans are in making the rich pay their fair share of taxes. The "True Environmentalist" ad campaign is just one big white-wash.

Neither of those are what Portage currently does. It is my understanding that the Council doesn't want to require any changes to Portage behaviour for this. What Portage currently does is, more or less, to preserve mtimes (but not necessarily sub-second mtimes, even where supported) from every part of the build and merge processes, except for an arbitrary set of files that it modifies outside of the ebuild's control. Examples of such files include, but are not limited to, executables and shared objects. The problem lies in the exceptions. Either we word PMS so vaguely that it's legal for the package manager to clobber any mtime (thus defeating the point of guaranteeing preservation at all), or we include long, convoluted wording describing exactly the files Portage currently alters (thus preventing reasonable-looking future changes), or we make the mtime preservation guarantee only cover a small portion of time such as between pkg_preinst and the merge phase (which disallows some of the things people want to be able to do with mtime preservation). None of these strike me as reasonable solutions, and I am still of the opinion that this isn't something that should have been rushed into EAPI 3 without people having spent time taking a good look at what all mtime preservation would be needed to do, what Portage currently does (since it does not, as some people have claimed, preserve mtimes) and what should be done about packages that end up installing files with absurd mtimes. If guaranteed mtime preservation is a desired feature, we should be designing it around what developers need, not around what Portage currently does. -- Ciaran McCreesh

Workbook: Mountain Chic for the New Belgium Ranger Station
For Benjamin Luddy and Makoto Mizutani, the New Belgium Ranger Station (a restaurant and bar with a warm, contemporary take on its namesake just next to the lifts and gondola in Snowmass Village, Colorado) represents a return to their roots. You see, the pair received master's degrees at SCI-Arc and have been practicing together since 2006 at their multi-faceted, LA–based design studio, Scout Regalia. There, they have been designing furniture, home products and graphic identities. With the Ranger Station, they've completed their first built architectural project.

New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha (NRSA) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Hear a just cause, O Lord; attend to my cry; give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit. | 1 Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer-- it does not rise from deceitful lips. |
2 From you let my vindication come; let your eyes see the right. | 2 May my vindication come from you; may your eyes see what is right. |
3 If you try my heart, if you visit me by night, if you test me, you will find no wickedness in me; my mouth does not transgress. | 3 Though you probe my heart and examine me at night, though you test me, you will find nothing; I have resolved that my mouth will not sin. |
4 As for what others do, by the word of your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent. | 4 As for the deeds of men-- by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent. |
5 My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped. | 5 My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not slipped. |
6 I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me, hear my words. | 6 I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer. |
7 Wondrously show your steadfast love, O savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand. | 7 Show the wonder of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes. |
8 Guard me as the apple of the eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings, | 8 Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings |
9 from the wicked who despoil me, my deadly enemies who surround me. | 9 from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me. |
10 They close their hearts to pity; with their mouths they speak arrogantly. | 10 They close up their callous hearts, and their mouths speak with arrogance. |
11 They track me down; now they surround me; they set their eyes to cast me to the ground. | 11 They have tracked me down, they now surround me, with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground. |
12 They are like a lion eager to tear, like a young lion lurking in ambush. | 12 They are like a lion hungry for prey, like a great lion crouching in cover. |
13 Rise up, O Lord, confront them, overthrow them! By your sword deliver my life from the wicked, | 13 Rise up, O LORD, confront them, bring them down; rescue me from the wicked by your sword. |
14 from mortals—by your hand, O Lord— from mortals whose portion in life is in this world. May their bellies be filled with what you have stored up for them; may their children have more than enough; may they leave something over to their little ones. | 14 O LORD, by your hand save me from such men, from men of this world whose reward is in this life. You still the hunger of those you cherish; their sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children. |
15 As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake I shall be satisfied, beholding your likeness. | 15 And I--in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness. |

Energy Investing: Independent Oil and Gas Stocks Companies
Okay, so maybe you want more bang for your buck. What energy investor doesn't? Then perhaps you'll consider the independent oil and gas stocks. It's the group of stocks that energy investors are most curious about, and a lot of major trading successes can be found here.
So what are they? Put simply, independent oil and gas stocks companies have no downstream activity. The downstream sector of the petroleum industry involves the refining and processing operations, along with marketing and, finally, distribution. This tends to include midstream operations, too, which involve the transportation and storage of oil and gas production.
Essentially, that leaves some personal favorites: the exploration and production companies, ranging from the smallest wildcatters to some of the largest oil and gas producers in the United States and Canada.
Some energy investors wonder why anyone would like an oil company that isn't considered part of Big Oil. Bigger is better, or at least it is in their eyes. But when you look at the U.S. oil and gas boom that's taken place since 2008, Big Oil seems like it's always late to the party.
ExxonMobil's biggest deal in over a decade was to acquire XTO Energy in 2009 for $35 billion. At the time, XTO Energy was an independent company heavily invested in shale gas plays across the country.
A useful place to whittle the field and find new opportunities is the Industry Center of Yahoo! Finance. You can find a complete index of independent oil and gas companies at the Yahoo! Finance website. Your broker is also an excellent place to find and filter potential investments. Use this table as a stepping block to begin your search of independents.
Company Name | Exchange: Ticker | Market Capitalization |
Anadarko | NYSE: APC | $41.5 billion |
Canadian Natural Resources | NYSE: CNQ | $34.2 billion |
Apache | NYSE: APA | $29.6 billion |
Noble | NYSE: NBL | $20.1 billion |
Continental Resources | NYSE: CLR | $16.7 billion |
Encana Corp. | NYSE: ECA | $14.2 billion |
Chesapeake Energy | NYSE: CHK | $13.7 billion |
Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. | NYSE: COG | $13.5 billion |
Tullow Oil | NYSE: TLW.L | $11.3 billion |
Denbury Resources | NYSE: DNR | $6.8 billion |
Small independent companies are among the most susceptible to the wild price swings of oil and natural gas. Always keep a stop-loss in place to prepare for the worst.
An individual with net worth of more than $1 million (alone or jointly with a spouse) or with income of $200,000 in each of the past two years and with a reasonable expectation of the same level of income in the current year. Certain higher-risk investments are often restricted to accredited investors.
A risk-adjusted measure of performance. Alpha measures the portion of an investment's return attributable to the security's inherent values (for example, earnings growth) rather than to overall market movements.
A trading technique that takes advantage of price discrepancies when the same security, currency, or commodity is traded on different markets.
A condition that is met when an option's strike price is the same as the prevailing price for the underlying stock. For example, if stock ABC is trading at $125 and the option's strike price is also $125, then the option is at the money.
A financial statement that shows the value of a company's assets, liabilities, and owner's equity on a given date. Total assets minus total liabilities equals owner's equity.
A situation that occurs when you have sold something you do not own. In commodities, if you enter into a contract to sell a commodity which you don't own with a promise to deliver it at a set price on a future date, then you are short that commodity. In stocks, you are short a stock if you have sold it and borrowed the shares from a broker to deliver to the purchaser, with an obligation to replace the borrowed shares at a future date. Being short means that you're bearish, or negative on the market, and that your goal is to make money when the security or commodity that you choose to short falls in price.
A measure of a stock's relative volatility. A stock with a higher beta can be expected to rise or fall more than the overall market, whereas a stock with a lower beta is less volatile than the overall market.
A theoretical model used to calculate the fair market value of an option based on time to expiration, price of the underlying stock, historical volatility, strike price, and carrying costs.
A contract that gives the holder the right to buy a particular asset at a specified price at any time prior to the expiration of the option.
A bond that the issuer can redeem before its maturity date. The bondholder is often paid a premium when the bond is called.
A chart that shows the daily high, low, opening, and closing prices for a security over a specified time period.
The profit from the sale of an investment at a price that's higher than the purchase price.
An interest-bearing investment issued by a bank. CDs are typically available with maturities ranging from three months to five years.
Buying and selling securities by a broker for the sole purpose of generating commissions.
A call option written by an investor who already owns the underlying shares. If you write a covered call and the option is exercised by the holder, then you would just deliver the stock to the holder.
Delta represents the price change of an option for every one-point change in the price of the underlying security or futures contract.
A financial instrument whose value is based on the value of another asset or index. A stock option, for example, is a type of derivative that gives you the right, but not the obligation, to buy shares of the stock at a predetermined price. The option's value changes in relation to the price of the stock.
An electronic order-routing system used by NYSE member firms to send market and limit orders directly to the specialist at the exchange who trades that particular security.
Money paid out by a company to the owner of its stock. An income stock is a stock that has a regularly paid, higher-than-average dividend.
A market in which stock shares are issued and traded. Trading takes place through both exchanges and over-the-counter markets.
A mutual fund that is traded, like stocks, on an exchange.
Currency that a government declares to be legal tender, even though it is not backed by reserves of physical assets (such as gold). The value of fiat money derives solely from the public's confidence and faith in its ability to serve as a storage medium for purchasing power. Most of the world's money is fiat money.
The largest non-governmental regulatory organization responsible for overseeing all securities firms that do business in the United States. Responsibilities include professional training, testing and licensing of registered representatives, and arbitration and mediation.
Speculation on the value of one currency versus another, in which you buy one country's currency—just as you'd buy a stock or other security—in the hope that it will appreciate relative to the value of another currency.
Contracts where you agree to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, currency, or other asset at a specified price on a specified future date. Unlike an option, a futures contract creates an obligation, rather than just a right, to buy and sell the underlying security.
When you own a security or other asset, you are said to be long that security. When you go long (that is, buy) a security, you're bullish, or positive on the market, and you expect the price of that security to go up.
Privately held corporations created by Congress to work for the common good—generally to facilitate borrowing for homeowners, farmers, and other specific groups. Examples of GSEs include Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Farm Credit Bank.
A chart formation in a graph of an asset price that resembles three mountaintops in a row, with the middle mountaintop being taller than the other two. The pattern indicates a trend reversal, meaning that prices are expected to fall.
An investment strategy that allows you to reduce the risk of an unfavorable price change in a security or commodity. For example, a stockholder of ABC Company who is worried about declining stock prices can offset that risk by buying a put option on ABC, allowing him to sell his shares in the future at today's price.
Investments that don't trade very actively and are difficult to sell on short notice.
A theoretical value representing the volatility of the security underlying an option. Implied volatility is used by the Black-Scholes model, among others, to calculate the price of an option. Implied volatility usually rises when the markets are in downtrends, and falls when the markets are in uptrends.
A condition that is met when a call option's strike price is below the prevailing price for the underlying stock. For example, if stock ABC is trading at $125 and the option's strike price is $120, then the option is in the money. For a put option, the strike price must be above the current market price of the stock for the option to be in the money.
A mutual fund designed to mirror the performance of a specific market index such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the S&P 500. Expenses of index funds tend to be lower than other mutual funds because the manager is not actively researching, buying, and selling securities.
A type of individual retirement savings plan. There are several types of IRAs, including, among others, Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. Traditional IRAs are tax-deferred accounts that currently allow individuals to contribute up to $5,000 per year. Contributions to a Traditional IRA may be tax deductible, depending upon several factors. You don't pay taxes on the income and gains you generate in a Traditional IRA until you make withdrawals; all withdrawals will be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate. Roth IRAs are subject to different tax treatment.
The degree to which an investor or business is utilizing borrowed money. For investors, leverage is a means of multiplying the return on an investment by borrowing money to purchase additional securities or other assets. Buying securities on margin is an example. If you have $1,000 of cash and borrow another $1,000 from your brokerage, you could then purchase $2,000 of stock. If the value of the purchased stock increases by 10 percent ($200), then you have realized a 20 percent gain ($200/$1,000) on your actual cash investment.
The value of a company as measured by the total number of stock shares outstanding times the market price of each share. For example, if company ABC has 20 million shares outstanding, and each share is currently worth $100, then the market cap for ABC is $2 billion. In general, stocks are classified as large cap (over $5 billion), small cap (under $1 billion), or mid cap (anything in between).
A stock index where the effect of each stock on the index is in proportion to its market value.
A major ongoing development that is expected to have significant implications for most (if not all) facets of society over an extended period of time. The aging of the American population is an example.
The perceived strength behind a price or volume movement in a security based on the rate of acceleration of that movement.
In technical analysis, a chart line that shows the average of a security's price over a specified period of time, recalculated for each new data point. For example, a 30-day moving average will include yesterday's price and those for the previous 29 days. Tomorrow's moving average will include today's price but will drop the price for the earliest date in yesterday's average. The moving average is used to spot pricing trends by flattening out large fluctuations.
A bond issued by a local or state government or agency. Munis generally raise money for public projects such as hospitals, roads, bridges, and sewer systems as well as general governmental operations. When you buy a muni, the interest is usually exempt from federal income tax.
A fund operated by an investment company that raises money from shareholders and invests that money in a group of assets in accordance with one or more stated objectives, such as income, growth, aggressive growth, and so on. A mutual fund may generally invest in stocks, bonds, options, futures, currencies, and money market securities in accordance with its stated parameters. All shareholders share equally in the income, gains, and losses generated by the fund.
A call option written by an investor who does not already own the underlying shares. If you write a naked call and the option is exercised by the holder, then you would have to buy the stock at the market price to meet your obligation. Naked calls are very risky, though potentially very rewarding.
An electronic stock exchange established by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD). The Nasdaq lists over 3,200 companies and is the largest equity securities trading market in the U.S.
A system where traders on a trading floor or in a trading pit shout and use hand signals to make transactions or trades with each other.
A derivative security that gives the holder a contractual right to buy or sell a set amount of a stock, commodity, or other asset at a specified price on or before the option's expiration date. An option is purchased for a fee, called a premium.
A person who is buying options. Call option holders have the right to buy a stipulated quantity of the underlying asset specified in the contract at a specified strike price. Put option holders have the right to sell the specified amount at the strike price.
A condition that is met when a call option's strike price is above the prevailing price for the underlying stock. For example, if stock ABC is trading at $120 and the option's strike price is $125, then the option is out of the money. For a put option, if the strike price is below the current market price of the stock, then the option is out of the money.
A securities market where trades are conducted by phone or computer network directly between dealers rather than on a physical trading floor. All bonds trade over-the-counter, as do unlisted stocks (generally, stocks of smaller companies that do not qualify for listing on an exchange).
When you buy an option, the premium is the amount that you pay to the seller of the option.
A contract that gives the holder the right to sell a particular asset at a specified price at any time prior to the expiration of the option.
A company, usually traded publicly, that raises money from shareholders and invests that money in a portfolio of real estate properties. REITs are modeled after mutual funds, although the tax treatment of REIT income is different.
A statistical technique used to find the mathematical relationship between a dependent variable (such as a company's stock price) and one or more independent variables (such as GDP, income growth, or inflation). Regression analysis is used to predict future values of the dependent variable based on changes in the independent variables.
A price movement in the opposite direction of the previous trend. When a price has gone too far and traders deem the security overbought or oversold, the price may stop rising or falling and move in the opposite direction for a period of time.
A type of IRA in which contributions to the account are not tax-deductible, but qualified withdrawals are completely exempt from federal income tax.
A federal agency whose mission is to protect investors from fraud or other unlawful market activities.
A nonprofit corporation created by Congress in 1970 to protect investors in the United States. SIPC insures the assets in investor accounts (up to certain maximum amounts) at registered brokerage firms in the event of bankruptcy of those firms.
An instruction to a broker to sell a stock at the market price after the security has touched the specified stop price. A sell stop is always placed below the present market price and is usually designed to protect a profit or limit a loss.
The general feeling among investors as to which direction the stock market is heading. If the sentiment is that prices are going up, it is said to be bullish; if the sentiment is toward a downward movement, it is bearish. Investors base sentiment on market activity and movements in the prices of securities.
A situation that occurs when you have sold something you do not own. In commodities, if you enter into a contract to sell a commodity which you don't own with a promise to deliver it at a set price on a future date, then you are short that commodity. In stocks, you are short a stock if you have sold it and borrowed the shares from a broker to deliver to the purchaser, with an obligation to replace the borrowed shares at a future date. Being short means that you're bearish, or negative on the market, and that your goal is to make money when the price of the security or commodity that you choose to short falls in price.
A retirement plan available to small employers and self-employed individuals in which both the employer and employee can contribute to an IRA.
An annuity contract that you purchase from an insurance company with a single upfront payment. An SPIA usually starts making regular monthly payments to you immediately.
You create a straddle when you simultaneously buy a put and a call on the same stock at the same strike price and with the same expiration date.
You build a strangle when you buy a put and a call on the same stock with the same expiration date but at strike prices that are equally out of the money. A strangle costs less than a straddle because both options are out of the money, but you only make a profit if the price of the underlying stock moves dramatically.
The price at which the stock or commodity underlying an option can be purchased (call option) or sold (put option) pursuant to the terms of the contract.
An exchange of streams of payments over time according to specified terms. The most common type is an interest rate swap, in which one party agrees to pay a fixed interest rate on a notional principal amount in return for receiving an adjustable rate from another party.
One-sixteenth of a point.
A price change in a security's trades. If the next trade takes a security up in price, it's an uptick; if it takes the security down, it's a downtick. In futures and options trading, a tick is the minimum change in price, up or down.
The spread between the high and low prices of a security or commodity within a particular period.
Debt obligations of the U.S. government that are secured by its full faith and credit. Treasuries include bills (maturities of less than one year), notes (maturities of 1 to 10 years), and bonds (maturities of more than 10 years).
A statistical measure of the movement of a financial asset's price over time, gauging how fast the price of the asset changes. The price of a highly volatile security can change dramatically over a short period of time. A measure of the volatility of a security relative to the overall market is its beta.
A person who is selling options. Call option writers have the obligation to sell a stipulated quantity of the underlying asset specified in the contract at the specified strike price if the option is exercised by the holder.

Loving this lip color! It makes my skin look alive, my eyes pop & fades beautifully. I have medium neutral skin with a little olive tinge, brunette hair & green/brown hazel eyes. I tried it on in Sephora on a day I only had powder on & it is just so flattering, I can't believe it. I adore a product that allows me to wear less makeup & still feel pretty.
I'm not a big fan of stains, they dry my lips, then migrate all over my face or pill with lip balm. Not this one! It has a slightly drier texture than a balm, more like a sheer lipstick in a pot. It fades evenly & stays put with lip balm. A true plum with a blue violet sheen when applied, a sheer, buildable color. I love using it under my fresh Sugar Plum balm. I use the stain in the morning & touch up with the balm after lunch - highly recommend these two together.
If you want a color to be super rich & last for days on end, this one probably isn't for you. It does last a lot longer than regular gloss or balm, doesn't settle into lines or leave a crazy lip liner look as it fades. Moisturizing & a beautiful, wearable, flattering color.

Pretty impressed with this! I bought this to wear under my wildberry gloss, and it looks great together. Nice for this winter into spring season. Lasted over 4 hours on, and even thru pizza and drinking with a straw! I would love to try the other colors, these are really nice. Price was average. Ok with it coming in a pot, not so hygienic, but I like the color, so I wont complain! Overall, happy with the purchase. Would buy again.

I absolutely love this color ........ Laura Mercier has excellent quality and the lip stain in Sugar Violet is no exception .......... for those who are very pale, like myself, and who are unable to rock red lips, I suggest Sugar Violet ......... gives a nice finish and more importantly allows me to wear color on my lips without looking laughable. This is an excellent choice for PPP's. Sugar Violet also looks great paired with LM's Orchid Mosaic which I wear as a blush (add black mascara, and these three items give you a nice look, especially for winter.)

I really wanted this product. Tried it on in Sephora while on vacation(not available where I live) and loved it. Unfortunately the one I bought at that time turned out to be more brown then the tester so I'm not impressed. Be careful with this one, product batches seem to differ more then slightly.

Very happy with this purchase. Love the colour, suits my skin tone. On me it's an plumy amethest. It has good staying power, I wouldn't say it's the best. I've never understood why someone would mark it down for coming in a pot...it was in a pot when you bought it, if that's not what you were looking for, there's other things on the market. Would repurchase as well as pick up more Laura Mercier stains.

This lip stain is a gorgeous and unusual color. It looks very purpley in the pot but swipe it on the back of your hand and you can see that it has a lot of yellow undertones. This works very well for my fair, neutral/warm complextion. I usually can't wear purples--or anything too cool toned on my lips.
This is especially great to wear during the cooler months when I need a little more lip color to perk up my complextion.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Cool Hair: Brown, Straight, Fine Eyes: Brown
This is a rich plummy brown with a definite sheen to it. I swapped for it untested, and lucked out: it definitely complements my coloring. I cannot wear reds, and most pastels look god awful on me.
Lasting power:
It is superior to a lipstick, and since it has shimmer I don't feel the urge to wear a gloss on top. Doesn't come off when kissing.
I don't find it drying, but it's not as comfortable as wearing a balm, it has sort of a dry texture, but doesn't dry my lips if that makes sense. I like the look worn over a balm too, so works if my lips are particularly dry.
So I'm definitely happy with it, t has sparked interest in trying other "stains," and I might even repurchase if I ever ran out (seems unlikely).
*UPDATE 2010* still really happy with this - and I wanted to note that it multitasks on cheeks and eyes, at least for my coloring. They should market it as a multi-use product.

Just tried this product... Luv it. It is a very pretty color and nice texture.
I do not feel this is drying at all.
Looks nice on my lips, not feathering into my lines.
Price is alittle high, but I like many other lipstick junkies have lot's of others to to use so this should last a long while.

This is a great stain. You put it on and forget about it....and it is so moisturizing....not one of the stiff drying lip colors. I just have trouble finding it to swap....since I have sooooo much makeup I am trying to limit my purchasing for a while....but this may be the hair that broke the camel's back.

There's Only One Way We Might Be Interested in the 'Mrs. Doubtfire' Sequel
Movie News By Christopher Campbell on April 16, 2014 | Be the First To CommentNo, I'm not thinking Doubtfire vs. Madea. Technically that would involve a man fighting a woman, as Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire is Robin Williams playing a male character who dresses as an old lady while Mabel "Madea" Simmons is just Tyler Perry playing an old lady. It doesn't sound like a fair battle. Obviously Madea would kick the fake nanny's ass. But the synopsis I have in mind is similar for this Mrs. Doubtfire sequel that Fox 2000 has just announced with original director Chris Columbus and Williams both on board. It has to be an Expendables type movie, which means it's not just Doubtfire 2 but an ensemble piece in which Williams as Daniel Hillard as Doubtfire is joined by Dustin Hoffman as Michael Dorsey as Tootsie, Martin Lawrence as Malcolm Turner as "Big Momma," David Cross as Tobias Funke as Mrs. Featherbottom, Miguel A. Nunez Jr. as Jamal Jeffries as Juwanna Mann, Harland Williams as Doofer as Roberta from Sorority Boys and Amanda Bynes as Viola Hastings as Sebastian from She's the Man, and they're on a mission to … whatever it doesn't matter, just like an Expendables movie.
Nathan Fillion to Take His Place Amongst the Gods in 'Percy Jackson' Sequel
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on March 15, 2012 | Comments (1)His friends know him as Captain Mal Reynolds, your grandparents probably know him as Castle, and your mother most definitely knows him as Captain Hammer, but whatever name he's going by, actor Nathan Fillion is one righteous dude. So righteous that it comes as no surprise he's set to play a God in his next feature film role. THR reports that Fillion will be playing Hermes in the upcoming Percy Jackson sequel, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters. Not only is Hermes that God who can run really fast while wearing sandals, but in the Percy Jackson mythos he's also the father of the Luke character, who is the bad guy played by Jake Abel. Luke is an angry young man, and he and his father don't always see eye to eye, so this role should allow Fillion ample opportunity to utilize his concerned dad brow furrow.
A Very Junkfood Christmas: 'Home Alone' Is Still the Best Christmas Movie About Accidentally Abandoning Your Kids Over the Holidays
Features By Brian Salisbury on December 5, 2011 | Comments (4)Welcome back to Junkfood Cinema; try our new pecan marshmallow yule log, patent and FDA approval pending. Happy December, everyone; it's the most wonderful time of the month! Despite your busy schedule of shopping, decorating, and pretending to tolerate those relatives you can't stand, you somehow managed to find time to topple down the chimney of another JFC. We are sort of like fruitcake; nobody ever asks for us, no one knows how we came to be a tradition, and no matter how clearly you state your distaste for us we keep turning up. Every week in the month of this month I will be Nationally Lampooning a festively terrible holiday film. But then, like a Christmas miracle, I will flip the flop and confess as to why the film is precisely my particular brand of egg nog. To put the star atop the proceedings, I will then offer a greasy, but delectable snack food item paired to the film in the hopes of making your waistlines a little less merry.

Culture Warrior: The Past and (Possible) Future of Harry Potter
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on July 19, 2011 | Comments (10)That the final Harry Potter film became the biggest opening weekend of all time seemed only natural and inevitable. Something so monumentally culturally pervasive could have only gone out with a loud bang. After all, it is – as I've been repeatedly reminded – the most successful movie franchise of all time, adapted from a series of books whose sales history rivals that of The Holy Bible. Yet unlike some head scratch-inducing huge opening weekends of the more uninspired entries of blockbusting franchises who rival Harry Potter in their monetary intake but not their longevity (Spider-Man 3, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest) and the former reigning champ whose buzz was accompanied by fascination with the untimely death of a star (The Dark Knight), the mass participation in the cultural event that was the release of Deathly Hallows Part 2 won't likely be rivaled anytime soon. The Harry Potter films simultaneously represent the inevitable logical extent of franchise filmmaking as much as it is exceptional and anomalous in this same regard.
The recent revelation that Chris Columbus will be producing a US-based, English-language remake of Troll Hunter was met with everything from mild irritation to outright derision. A typical report of the news included 1) a statement that the original is great/awesome 2) a question of whether this really needed a remake 3) a comment that Hollywood was craven and unoriginal and, for a select few pieces, 4) swear words. My own take was fairly neutral (much like my reaction to Andre Ovredal's film), which prompted at least half an email asking me why I was giving this one a pass after years of making up clever insults at the expense of anyone attempting a remake. After some soul-searching, it was clear that I had either made peace with the recent glut of remakes or been beaten into submission by it. Either way, I'm tired of complaining about remakes, and here's why.
Thor Freudenthal to Direct 'Percy Jackson' Sequel With Logan Lerman Stealing a Fleece
Movie News By Nathan Adams on June 17, 2011 | Comments (6)Despite the fact that this series is all about characters from Mount Olympus, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters is looking to Thor for direction. Close enough, I guess it's all mythology. When I first heard that a series about a boy with magic powers who discovers that he has a very interesting ancestry, which was once helmed by Chris Columbus, was going to continue with another sequel I got confused. Wasn't Harry Potter supposed to be over? Okay, obvious joke, but it was pretty pathetic how closely Columbus and the marketing people on the first Percy Jackson tried to tie this already derivative sequel to the Harry Potter franchise aesthetically. Hopefully, with a new director on, this second film can go in a new direction. But seeing as how Thor Freudenthal's previous work on films like Hotel for Dogs and Diary of a Wimpy Kid doesn't share much with these tween fantasy series, it's kind of hard to tell if he's the right man to give this series its own sense of identity. I guess the best we can hope is that he has some mode other than "movie you would see on the Disney Channel on a Sunday afternoon," which is all I've seen from him so far. What we do know about this new film is that Logan Lerman is once again signed to star as Percy, and the story follows the pursuits of Percy and a group of his friends as they seek […]
Chris Columbus Set to Produce US Remake of 'Troll Hunter'
In Development By Scott Beggs on June 10, 2011 | Be the First To CommentDirector Andre Ovredal has been fairly silent about his next project, only going as far as saying it'll involve "American mythology," but it looks like an English-language remake of his Troll Hunter will be going through in an attempt to frighten people who get scared at the sight of subtitles. According to Deadline Aust-Agder, Chris Columbus – no stranger to fantasy – will be taking on the remake as a producer. He notes the visuals as the main reason to mine the material for a remake, saying it "was a visceral, thrilling, cinematic rock and roller coaster ride of a movie. Visually, there are scenes in this film that American audiences have never seen. We want to introduce an international audience to this amazing moviegoing experience." It seems obvious that an international audience can already enjoy the amazing moviegoing experience by going to see the movie, but it seems clear that Columbus is trying to get his version into more theaters and to sell it bigger overseas than the Norwegian original did through Magnolia. When I spoke with Ovredal about the possibility of a remake, he said, "I think that would be fun. I'd love to see that." It's unclear as to whether he'll be involved in any capacity, but it looks like he'll get his wish. Hopefully a big Hollywood version will spark even more interest in the original.
A Percy Jackson Sequel Dives Into 'The Sea of Monsters'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on March 2, 2011 | Comments (1)So, Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief wasn't exactly the Harry Potter killer that Fox wanted it to be (but Percy Jackson vs Harry Potter could be a ridiculously cool movie). Still, they are moving forward with a sequel subtitled The Sea of Monsters – based on the second book by Rick Riordan in the series. According to the LA Times, virtually none of the creative personnel is back, but director Chris Columbus will magically turn into a producer, Karen Rosenfelt will magically stay on as producer, and writer partners Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski will write the screenplay (using no magic at all). Essentially, even though The Lightning Thief made $226 million worldwide, the film cost something near $100 million and made only $88 million domestically. The numbers weren't clear indicators that the studio wanted to take on a sequel. Something has changed their mind, though. This might shoot as early as this Summer, but there's no word on what part of the cast will return. It's possible that this final decision was partially hinging on whether Logan Lerman got the Spider-Man gig, and now that he's free for the Summer, he can come out and throw lightning bolts at monsters in the sea. That's speculation, but if you've read this far, you'll realize that the brunt of this story is "Average Young Adult Adventure Gets Seemingly Unwarranted Sequel," and that doesn't fly well on its own.

Hi, anyone know where I can buy some plain ol' Mexican tuberose bulbs by mail? (Park's and Wayside had them listed in their 2004 catalogs, but they're not available on their websites; perhaps they're sold out or they think it's too late to plant them.) |

You're in luck. They usually have a minimum shipping but having a sale on shipping right now. |

I believe Parks is done shipping them for the season. I ordered tuberose and received them sprouted in the end of May. |
Terra Ceia Farms here in North Carolina has the most reasonably priced ones I've seen. Allie |
The species of Polianthes usually grown in gardens is P. tuberosa (not the species listed by PDN, which I suspect isn't fragrant, the main point of growing tuberose for most of us). "Mexican" probably refers so "Single Mexican", or the species-type with single (rather than double) flowers. I have gotten them from McClure & Zimmerman (tiny bulbs) and Brent & Becky's Bulbs (much bigger bulbs). I have also seen them sold locally alongside other summer-blooming bulbs like cannas and gladiolus. Unfortunately it's probably too late in the growing season to purchase or plant tubers--even if you could find them they would probably be shriveled up. |

Buddy's Caladium Farm, and they do have a website. Much, much better prices than Plants Delight, and I will attest to the quality of these bulbs! |
Hi there, There's an on-line company, Eflowergarden, that is incredible. I bought 20 tuberose bulbs for $5! They had both the double and single varieties. The plants are all healthy and happy and the company has incredible customer service. They shipped my bulbs before getting my check! They have developed a new web page recently and don't currently list tuberose - you may have to wait til next season. But definitely check them out then, their prices and quality blow my mind. ~Onion |

On Thursday, it was State District Judge Susan P. Watters' turn to graduate from family drug court.
Things got emotional as traditional graduation ceremonies sometimes go, as one drug court graduate after another — many fighting back tears — stood in Watters' courtroom to thank her and other members of the family drug court team and congratulate Watters on her appointment to the federal bench.
Watters, 55, awaits U.S. Senate approval for a U.S. district court judgeship in Billings following her nomination in May by President Barack Obama. The Senate Judiciary Committee has already approved her nomination; a vote in the full senate could be held as soon as mid-December.
During a 45-minute ceremony held in her packed fifth-floor courtroom, Watters, who's presided over the family drug court since it was founded 12 years ago, answered some of the questions she has program participants answer upon their graduation:
The biggest challenge has been having participants give up before they can achieve their goals, or to, as she put it, "self-sabotage"
She'd tell an incoming participant "the sooner they start surrendering to (family drug court) programs, the sooner they will start moving toward their goals"
She's learned that "compassion really does have a place in the courtroom."
"Participating in and presiding over family drug court has been the hardest, most rewarding thing I have done in my judicial career," she said. Early on, the court experienced "growing pains, but we persevered because we believe in drug court and we know what we could do for participants."
After Watters spoke briefly, it was time for colleagues and family drug court graduates to tell her how much the family drug court experience — a treatment-based alternative to prison — had meant to them.
"We made it strictly because you are a fair judge," Donita D'Ambrosia, a Billings mother of five, told Watters. "Here (in this courtroom) I was able to be honest, even though it was scary to tell you the things I was doing wrong. Without family drug court, I wouldn't have my kids or my home back, and I wouldn't have been able to get on my own two feet and accept responsibility. I am a whole different person, and that is because of you and the team."
Heather Thompson, a 2006 graduate who's now a lab technician, reminded Watters that "we bumped heads every time I walked into this courtroom. The only reason I graduated," she added with a laugh, "is that my folder couldn't hold any more."
The skills she's gained "by fighting through this program have been unstoppable," Thompson told Watters. "It's given me the chance to have a wonderful walk as a parent and a decent community servant."
Steve Peek, a parole and probation officer, told Watters she has "far more patience than I do. I would have my doubts, but some of those people are in the courtroom today and are doing quite well."
Curtis Norton, another graduate of the program, remembered initially entering family drug court "walking on a cane, pretty strung out. It took a long time for me to get it right, and I owe a lot to you. You never gave up on me, and you never give up on anybody. I wish you well."
While graduates and their children mingled with drug court team members and nibbled on sandwiches following the ceremony, Watters called it "a little overwhelming to see everyone and hear their comments, the good they think I've done for the community. In the trenches, you don't realize you're making a difference because you don't hear all the positive. It was really nice to have everyone telling me I have done a good job leading family drug court."
If and when Watters receives senate approval, District Judge Gregory Todd is set to take over family drug court.

Minor League Profile Ethan Hollingsworth
The Royals announced the trade today of Kila Ka'aihue for Oakland A's righthander Ethan Hollingsworth.
The Royals become Ethan's third different franchise after being drafted from Western Michigan University in the 4th round where he put together a 18-12 record and 3.23 ERA in three MAC seasons. Â Hollingsworth coming out of college had a 89-92 mph fastball and what was described as a nice slider but since being drafted and getting more looks by scouts has what has been described as fringy breaking stuff but a good changeup and good control on his 89-91 mph sinker/fastball. Â At 6'2 200 lbs Hollingsworth's upside is at best a back of the rotation 5th starter with a more likelyceiling coming as a low leverage reliever type to add depth in AAA.
Ka'aihue became a darling of fans and statheads alike with his high walk rate and good power in 2008 and 2010 will now attempt to win a spot in a organization that has added Brandon Allen to go along with Daric Barton and Chris Carter. Â All four players appear to be fringe major league types with good on base skills.

A little bit of "competition" and "depth" won't hurt any organization.. Starting pitching is an obvious need and adding Hollingsworth might step up the game of some of these other guys like Sean, Vin, Luis, Everett, and even Mike Montgomery..
Really wished Kila would have gotten "the chance" in 09 or a "real chance" all together….probably never will
Moose & Kila through their 1st 82AB in the 2012 MLB season were very similar #s & both looked awful but the difference in getting an opportunity after that was a belief in 1 & not the other…..
Vin and Sean still have options remaining. if not moved to bullpen (doubful – but Vin did well in bullpen op the other day), then both will be in AAA next year.
could be part of a package deal for a #1-2 starter in offseason
Seems like Hollinsworth is a better version of Mazzaro and O'Sullivan… will this mean Vin and/or Sean will be out of the organization soon?

Polaroid PoGo | $150
Polaroid caused a lot of rancor earlier this year when it announced that it would stop making instant film. The company hopes to win back loyalists this summer with its mini PoGo (Polaroid on the Go) printer, a tiny printer that doesn't use any ink. Instead, the printer relies on ZINK (Zero Ink) technology, which uses paper embedded with heat-activated dye crystals. The printer is portable, quiet and seriously different from the company's older technology. You send digital images from your cellphone or digital camera to the printer, which means you print only the pictures you like--there's no wasted paper. And unlike the old-fashioned Polaroid, the end result is waterproof and you can shake it as much as you want without damaging it. The pictures can even be used as stickers. We've seen this printer in action: the results weren't amazing, but they were good enough that they made the PoGo look like it would be fun to have around. Let's be clear, though--it can't compete with instant film. Yet. But until Polaroid figures out how to fit ZINK into digital cameras, it will have to do. --S.E.K.

People, Places, Things (Chicago - Holiday Edition) 1 of 2
The Drake hotel is one of the hotels in Chicago that has gained notoriety for its afternoon tea. We received the invitation from a friend of mine and being able to make this a Christmas Eve tradition with my daughter, I couldn't pass it up.
This was a great place for me to take my daughter to test out all of the etiquette skills we have taught her. Sitting up at the table, eating with your mouth closed, laying your napkin on your lap, how to pour and sip your tea, which fork to pick-up, etc.
We truly enjoyed ourselves!
Wishing you and yours a wonderful and safe holiday :-)

Backyard chickens are the perfect addition to the organic garden. Chicken poop is rich in nitrogen and makes a great, free, organic fertilizer. And, for those interested in local foods, a small backyard flock can stock a few kitchens with eggs. On average, chickens will lay an egg a day.
Urban chicken farmers are becoming very popular. City ordinances are even becoming more and more lenient on allowing poultry to be raised within city limits. Check with your city first, but a few hens are not an issue in a backyard most places.
Consider when purchasing your chicken coop what you'll need. There are many designs when it comes to chicken coops including portable chicken coops, small chicken coops, and even chicken houses with runs. Check out below our selection of chicken coops.
