On my quest for a pinky-nude I came across this gem. I love this lipstick. It is my perfect summer color. Love the sweet fragrance of this lippy and such a creamy texture. I've been wearing it everyday for the past week. It looks great with a bit of peach petal on the bottom lip for extra shine in the evening or on it's own for the day. Love it, love it, love it!

Nice lipstick! This is a nice light pink color. Staying power is pretty nice. It's a nice consistency- not too dry and glides on smoothly. Love the sweet vanilla type of scent. Little bit of shimmer in this shade but a nice color.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a nice color, not too drying, however the shimmer makes it a little gritty. I would not repurchase however because it's a common color that isn't the most flattering, but not the worst either, pretty basic.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This lipstick color just didnt look right on my skintone im light yellow ish. But its a great color for lighter skin tones and probably darker ones. It has glitter on it, but not too much. Its like a light nudey pink.
This is overall a pretty good lipstick. It's not too drying, has decent staying power, and is not OTT glittery. However, for me it just doesn't work, because it is the precise, same, EXACT color of my lips. And I'm not too keen on the glitter, I just don't like glitter or even shimmer in lip products. Doesn't work for me but a good lippie overall.
AMAZING! smells pretty good. great color! is extremely pigmented and creamy and goes great with my skin tone!!! i will definetly buy this product again soon!!!

I finally gave this lipstick a try after getting a couple recommendations for it. I wasn't sure what I thought when I put a small amount on my lips at the store to test, but after bringing it home and really trying it on, I loved it! Great colour, nice smooth moisturizing texture, and pretty clear red packaging to boot. My lips look natural since it matches the colour almost exactly, but makes them look smooth and juicy :) it pairs well with some pink tinted softlips lip balm underneath for extra moisture + spf.

On my C8 skin, this is a very light mauvey-pink with silvery glitter. I have to say that it does not in any way look like the pics uploaded on this page on my skin.
Have been on a lippie and lipgloss buying spree and recently got Born with it, Mac's Creme cup and my HG light pink, Rimmel Airy fairy. These lipsticks are in the same color family but Airy fairy is hands-down my favorite. Born with it is an ok lippie, but since i have Airy fairy, i see no reason to re-purchase this. Will be sticking with Airy fairy.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really wanted to like this product. The packaging wasn't my favorite, but it was okay, the texture was okay, the color was okay-- but there were a lot of silver glitters in it that traveled all over my face. I tossed the lipstick and I won't be repurchasing.
LOVE THIS. Seriously, this is the prettiest shade lipstick I have ever found that suits me AMAZINGLY!!! I love this to death, very nude-pink in a natural way, on my NC20 skintone! I'm not sure how it would work on darker skintones (reading the reviews, alot of people are saying it looks GREAT on darker skintones too!), but light or pale skinned girls, if you find that alot of nude-pinks are too pink or "barbie" on you, TRY THIS OUT! At $5 (walmart), it definitly doesn't hurt your wallet, it's beautiful!!! I wear it all the time, it's very flattering on me, I'm almost out, and you can bet your ass I'm gonna go out and buy a new one as soon as mine's gone!!!!!!! The packaging is cheap plastic, obviously, but I love the pink cap! Someone said that it's similair to MAC's "lustre" lipstick finish, and I would definitly agree, it's super creamy and moisturing and glossy! At first, it feels great, but after a while when the color is wearing off, it starts to feel a little-tad-bit gritty (not really "gritty", but idk any other word to describe the texture), because of the subtle "glitter" (VERY subtle glitter, nothing like glittery gloss or anything). but otherwise, this is definitly HG for me! I hope they don't stop making it, but if they will, I'm going to buy like 20! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!

Furniture Design
What do you do if you love old objects, but also love designing new things? With all of the ways you can get into furniture design, we've found Timothy Oulton's career path—not to mention his designs—inspiring and unusual. The Manchester native was born to a father in the UK antiques business, which Tim joined at the age of 18. He spent five years selling restored antiques in the United States, then returned to the UK to expand his father's business locally. So far, so normal.
It was after officially taking the family business over that Tim came to what must have been a difficult realization, and subsequently switched things up. Although he had successfully achieved sales of over one million pounds in the first year of their UK expansion alone, "Tim intelligently decided that there was no long-term future in the antiques business," reads his bio, "and began instead to focus on reinventing antiques."
The result was Oulton's eponymous brand, which covers upholstered furniture, case goods, steamer trunks, lighting, and accessories, all inspired by the past and with the same emphasis on craftsmanship that was once pervasive among builders, but all with a modern twist. Thus we have what appear to be vintage steamer trunks that have been transformed into bookshelves, bureaus or desks updated with modern-day drawer slides:
A stack of what appears to be old suitcases that is in fact a series of drawers;
Storage objects and furniture apparently created from World War II bombers.
On that latter note, we posted about his Aviator Wing Desk for Restoration Hardware here, back when it was first released; seen at the top of this entry is his latest for RH, the massive Blackhawk Secretary Trunk, handmade from polished aluminum and hardwood.
You could spend hours perusing the deep product line-up on Oulton's site, and you'll undoubtedly be struck by how...authentic these modern-day creations look. Part of that is a result of Oulton's background in antiques, which has made him a bit of a stickler for detail and craftsmanship. "Being surrounded by great, handcrafted products most of my life has definitely had an impact on how I now design and create my furniture," he writes.
Each Timothy Oulton piece is handcrafted by a dedicated team of craftsman using only the best techniques and fabrications—from hand carving and traditional joinery to unique hand finishing processes for leather, these time-honoured techniques breathe new life into a range of authentic, raw materials."Our goal is to make the best product on the planet... whatever we do, it has to be the best in class, and we do it to the best of our ability," says Tim. Whether it requires sanding down a piece of salvaged wood by hand, or hammering in 700 brass nails one by one, each product is painstakingly created over an extraordinary amount of time in the pursuit of Oulton's high standards.
Irregularities are preserved and individuality is celebrated, and no two pieces are ever alike. Reclaimed timbers and found objects are lovingly restored by hand, while vintage-inspired creations are organically scuffed up just so, resulting in a collection that champions individuality, functionality, and form.

American architecture firm Stern McCafferty has released its new clear bathtub design which turns any bathroom into a human aquarium. This clear glass tub reveals all, creating a more intimate bathing experience—or, creating a need for locked doors! The design concept for this "invisible" tub is quite simple: a piece of glass forms the outer sections, while the tiled wall and floor forms the rest of the structure. While this design may not be for everyone, it certainly adds a modern touch to any bathroom and can quickly be transformed into a romantic, albeit slightly voyeuristic, household feature.
Stern McCafferty founders David Stern and Diane McCafferty have been collaborating since 2000 on residential and commercial spaces. Their clear tub design concept is hard to resist and will surely be popping up in hotels and residences around the world.

What can I do about my Flabby Arms - The best exercise?
I have lost alot of weight - and I can tell the most in my arms - No tank tops for me this summer. Help
Follow-Up Postings:
I know what you mean, Kristie! I am using the Walk off the Pounds for Abs video. A waist belt comes with the video set and the exercises that you do when walking are supposed to strenghten your abs. But I think they will help my upper arms too. (I hope so anyway!) Here is a link for some exercises that I think would be very good. Good Morning America Arm Exercises Also I have found that white arms look the worst and show the flab more than darker skin or tanned arms. I'm not a sun worshiper like I used to be, so before I get ready to wear a sleeveless blouse, I use sun-less tanner. It makes the arms "look" thinner! |
Hold a 3-5LB weight in your hand. Put your arm straight up and lower the weight behind your neck. You cannot move your upper arm, it has to stay stationary. Only the forearm moves. This firms up the muscles on the backs of your upper arm. We don't use these muscles, so they are the first to go.You can use your free arm to hold the exercising arm steady, if needed.You can't "bulk up" because this is probably the only time you will use that muscle all day! |

Hello, I'm looking for a sapling of Crataegus monogyna commonly called One-seeded Hawthorn. This variety is not to be confused with English Hawthorn which is Crataegus oxyacantha (syn. Crataegus laevigata). This plant has been classified by the California Invasive Plant Council (IPC) as "invasive" which is a shame since it is provides valuable habitat for several species of birds and it produces an abundance of bright red berries which make a tasty jam. The tender young leaves and flowers are also edible and can be used in salads or made into a tea. If anyone has any of these "invasives" that they would like to get rid of, I would be more than happy to pay for shipping. Thank you very much, Edward |
Follow-Up Postings:
Crataegus monogyna is environmentally harmful in California and maybe some other states, but it has not been determined to be harmful in Virginia (at least according to the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation and the SE-EPPC). If you lived in California, you'd be acting irresponsible (at least by most gardener's standards) by planting this plant. The story is quite different in Virginia. You probably haven't posted your request in the best forum. This forum is about natives, and Crataegus monogyna is not a native anywhere in North America (which is where most readers of this forum live). BTW, please do check to see if plants are invasive in your area before choosing to include them in your landscape. Invasives are exponentially-multiplying biological litter. Planting invasives (that are invasive to YOUR state or part of the country) is similar, or worse, to throwing trash out of your car window (except this trash multiplies!). Planting natives is a wonderful thing, but some non-native plants may also be great choices. It's up to you to check whether or not a plant is likely to be an asset or a detriment to your landscape and to the environment. |

Much maligned for allowing unauthorised constructions, the Town Planning wing is turning out to be a saviour for the cash starved GHMC.
In all likelihood it could deliver close to Rs. 500 crore by the month end through building permits and other fees plus penalties collected from Building Penalisation Scheme (BPS) and Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS).
Despite the economy downturn last year too it put up to Rs. 400 crore to the kitty, of course, also thanks to the penalisation schemes.
In that sense, this year it could well equal or surpass property tax collections!
And in order to generate more revenue, pending building plan applications (ground plus four and above of both commercial and residential) of past several months are being expedited.
The building committee has cleared 177 cases of last year and 86 of the pending 150 applications lying with the multi-storied building regulations committee.
Weekly meetings
Another batch of 150 cases is to be cleared soon in the weekly meetings of the committee.
Sizeable revenue is expected to be earned once the plans are cleared by the building and multi-storied building panels as applicants have about a fortnight's time to pay up the necessary fee in full for final plans to be released.
Additional Commissioner (Planning & Projects) K. Dhananjaya Reddy said that notices have also been issued to more than 300 applicants who were yet to pay the requisite fee despite having their plans approved in the last two years.
Following GO 86 (common building rules) applicants could pay just two per cent of the permit fee or a flat Rs. 10,000 to get the initial plan cleared by the committee.
This was taken advantage and several applications were filed but following the economy taking a hit, many did not pay up.
"If they don't pay, the permissions will be cancelled and they have to apply afresh," said Mr. Reddy. About Rs. 175 crore is to be realised from this exercise while nearly 200 applicants withdrew voluntarily too.

AMERICA/CUBA - 50 days after the hurricane, thousands of people are still homeless and without services
Santiago de Cuba (Agenzia Fides) - The Episcopal Conference of Uruguay has received an appeal from the Bishop Emeritus of Melo (Uruguay), His Exc. Mgr. Luis del Castillo, who has been living as a missionary in Santiago de Cuba for two years (see Fides 06/11/2012). The Uruguayan Church has launched a campaign of solidarity with the hundreds of thousands of Cubans who are still homeless after Hurricane Sandy, which devastated the whole region in the early hours on Thursday, October 25.
According to official information, the note sent to Fides Agency from Uruguay in the city of Santiago de Cuba, the second in the country, there is a neighborhood that suffered significant damage to homes, electrical service, communications , workplaces and industrial centers. It is estimated that more than 100,000 homes were affected, including about 20,000 in ruin: all the municipalities still have problems with the power supply and there were 17,300 telephone interruptions. The damage, just as serious, also concern trade, health units, schools and 90% of the churches and chapels, including the National Shrine of Our Lady of Cobre, patroness of Cuba (CE) (Agenzia Fides, 13/12/2012)

The unsung production hero behind Fall Out Boy, described as "emo's first superstars", tells us how he shaped the lead single from 2007's smash hit album, Infinity On High.
Neal Avron is predominantly known for his work with hit paradestorming younger rock bands, among them Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy, Weezer, the Wallflowers, Plain White T's, Lifehouse, Yellowcard and Everclear. With a background as a musician, he has a predilection for working with live musicians and particularly with bands. Avron's work with Fall Out Boy is among his most successful. He engineered, produced, and mixed the band's third album, From Under The Cork Tree (2005), which went multiplatinum and put them in the arena league. Avron steered the followup Infinity On High (2007) to similar success. Three of the album's 14 tracks were produced by others, among them famously hiphop producer Babyface, but Avron produced the rest, including the album's first hit single, 'This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race', the subject of this article.
Work on the album began with six weeks of preproduction. "I am a big believer in preproduction," stresses Avron. "We rehearsed for a couple of weeks in Chicago, and the rest of the time we were at Swing House rehearsal studios in Los Angeles. The preproduction time included rehearsals and some writing, and working out all the sounds and arrangements. I also do very crude recordings of the preproduction sessions, as a reference in the studio."
Avron recorded all the tracks he produced on Infinity On High at The Pass studios in Los Angeles, which is based around a vintage Neve 8078 desk. The drums were recorded first, with singer/guitarist Patrick Stump playing and singing along, to add "the vibe and energy that comes from playing with someone else".
Avron began by getting the sounds right in the recording area. "The most essential ingredient to a drum recording is to have greatsounding drums. I use a drum tech, and we had a bunch of greatsounding kits, including Andy Hurley's own set, and we went through every song and decided which kick to use, and which toms, and which snare, and which hihat, and so on.
"All sound starts with the instrument and the player. Figuring that out first makes things a lot easer, because there isn't necessarily as much trickery necessary later on in the control room to make things happen. So when I put the mics up and go to the control room, I first and foremost try to get a great representation of what happened in the live room, listening to the close mics and the room mics together. I'll EQ as needed, but if I find that I'm turning knobs too much, I know that I have to start looking in other places: maybe the mics aren't right, or they're not placed correctly, or maybe the instrument is not sounding good."
The drums were recorded "to a 24track Studer A800, 30ips, no Dolby. The main reason for doing this is the sonic thing. Tape saturation does something to the transients of drums and percussion that to me is very warm and naturalsounding. I'm not doing it with bass or guitars or vocals, because they don't have the same peak information as drums. It's not to say that recording them to tape doesn't sound good, it's just that I find that that the drums benefit the most from being recorded on analogue tape. After we have recorded several takes, and I feel the drummer has done enough to nail a performance, whether a whole performance, or to edit one together from different takes, the drums are dumped into Pro Tools.
"I made notes while were recording Andy, deciding on the fly which sections of which takes were good, so I could give my Pro Tools guy a road map, saying something like 'Take the verse from this take and the chorus from that take,' and so on. I prefer to edit in large chunks. I'm not necessarily a believer in microediting drum tracks, unless we're trying to lock up the drums to a loop or a programmed groove Wherever possible I prefer to leave the original feel in there.
"I like to use Pro Tools as a tape recorder, and this is partly the result of me enjoying the music of the past, which was not edited to death and in many cases not even played to click track. When I listen to a Beatles or Rolling Stones track I don't say 'Listen to how out of time or tune that is.' Instead I just notice that it feels really good. So if you have good musicians playing, you should let them do their job. I'd rather have a performer play several takes than create a performance out of bits they've done. And I never listen to the click when I hear the drummer play. I'm not interested in how close he stays to the click, that's his job. My job is just to listen for when it feels great. Perfection is called for in certain types of music, but for me, it's not always so appealing."
Many engineers and producers like to get the rhythm section down first, and will often record drums and bass at the same time, or overdub the bass next. But Avron goes for rhythm guitars as the second step. "The drums are edited in Pro Tools, and of course, its editing facilities are undeniable. The Undo button is such an amazing and magical thing.
"Once the drums are edited, typically with rock songs I will record the rhythm guitars next. Over the years I've had issues with recording bass first, especially when someone is hitting the strings really hard. For me it's difficult to tell whether the bass is in tune, because the fundamental is so low. When laying the rhythm guitars down first, it's much easier to tell whether the bass is out of tune or not. It also means that the bass has a place to fit. In the 'Arms Race' track we did the heavy rhythm guitars in the choruses first, to get a sense of how distorted and loud they were going to be.
"Once we had enough rhythm guitars down, we put the bass guitar down, and after that we overdubbed other guitars and instruments. I really like to record the singer as early as possible. The moment we have enough music for him to actually sing to, I like to get him going. It's a good opportunity to get a few takes under their belt, and you either get a great take, or he can figure out what he likes and doesn't like, and have another shot at it later on.
"On 'Arms Race', after the guitars, the bass and the lead vocals, we recorded the rest of the vocal production, first what are called the 'BG' tracks in the Edit Window, and then the 'V' tracks, which were sung by Patrick in different accents and with different voices, falsettos, basses. He's an amazing singer. Finally there were the 13 tracks of group vocals at the end. Along the way we also recorded the keyboards, including a Hammond B3, and the intro is a synth with a guitar played with an Ebow and some pedals I was messing around with, among them a Fuzz Factory pedal, and ElectroHarmonix Micro Synth and Memory Man pedals.
"I am a firm believer in recording things the way I think they should sound in the final mix. I don't rely on the idea of recording everything flat and fixing things in the mix. To me, the sounds that are being generated are integral to the vibe of a song. If a song needs punchy drums, yet they have been recorded fairly loosesounding, trying to figure out how all the other sounds are going to relate to them is going to be impossible. So for me, while recording, each sound has to really represent what we're hearing in our heads, and that means adding EQ, compression, pedals and other effects."
"Regarding the mics that I use, I always try and change them, but I have certain regulars that I go to," recalls Avron. "Starting with the drums, on 'Arms Race' the kick mic was probably a [Neumann] 47 FET on the outside, and there are about three or four different mics that I'll use on the inside. The snare is typically an SM57 on top, and if I mic the bottom, also a 57. For the hihat I may have used a [Neumann] KM84, for the ride cymbal also a KM84 or perhaps a [AKG] C451. I change the overheads all the time; in this case I recorded a mono overhead as well, probably using something like a [Neumann] U67 or an AKG C12. The 'far room' mic was probably [Neumann] U87 or AKG 414 or a 67, sometimes I use a C12. I really mix that up. I also had what I called a 'shit mic', a lowquality mono mic, just to see if it added an interesting vibe to the track.
"In the second Edit Window at the bottom you can see a sound called 'SK', which is a fourtothefloor kickdrum sample that we used in the verses. It's a sound that comes from Patrick's original, preproduction demo, and it really drove the verse. It had a vibe, and we looked for some replacement kick-drum sounds, but none had the energy that this one had. So he gave it to me via a USB drive, and we loaded it into Pro Tools and programmed it. There's also 'DS', which is a shaker, and some other drum samples, one being like an 808. There's a mono track called 'D4' in the screenshot, which is the drum kit recorded with just one microphone, it may have been an ElectroVoice 666, and squashed pretty hard with a Neve compressor. This mono drum track was used in the breakdown section, where you hear only drums.
"On the first Edit Window you'll also see some drum samples, in this case a snare and a kick sample. Once we have the drum sound and the tuning that we like, I'll record kick and snare and tom samples from the kit, for a couple of reasons. Mainly, after each take the tuning of the drums will go out of whack, and the sample gives me a tuning reference. If the tuning changes during recording, the drum tech can use it as a reference to retune the drums. That way, while editing takes, it doesn't sound like the snare is changing pitch. The other thing is that if the drummer is playing a very fast pattern and can't quite keep the same velocity going in his attack, and the part won't quite cut through, I can change over to the sample for a few bars, to get a better level, with exactly the same sound. In general I try to take care to get the samples from the actual drum kit, and not use samples from elsewhere.
"I don't recall doing anything crazy when recording the drums for 'Arms Race'. I compressed the mono 'far room' probably 4:1, sometimes I'll do 2:1, and the shit mic was pumping pretty good too. I probably compressed the overhead just a tad, usually about 4:1. This was using the Neve desk; if it was outboard it would have been stuff that was built in the room. I love the Urei 1176 and the Neve compressors, like the 2264, 33264 and 33609. They all sound great. At Ocean Way they have some great Fairchilds and old RCA limiters, and if I'm working there, I'll use those. I'm not set on one piece of gear: whatever sounds great. Unless I'm looking for something in particular, I don't like to compress the drums too much, because I already use tape compression, and I don't want to flatten the transients."
"With regards to the guitars, like with the drums, we spent a lot of time getting them to sound great at source. We tested many different amplifiers and cabinets, as well as a bunch of different guitars, trying out whether we want humbuckers or singlecoil, etc. I tend to use an SM57 on the speaker cabinet and a Coles or Royer ribbon microphone. I might have had a Neumann U87 or a U67 mixed in as well. Usually I'll put up several different mics so I can choose the ones that give me the colour we're after. I would have used a compressor, probably the Neve 2254 compressor they have at The Pass, or perhaps a UREI, I'm not sure.
"For the bass, the mics I use range from the Electrovoice RE20, AKG D112, or Neumann 47 FET, U87, U67, sometimes a Sennheiser 421. For this track, it might have been a 47 FET or a U67, but I might have had an SM57 mixed in as well. I probably used the same compressors as for the guitar. I recorded Patrick's vocals with a U47 tube in most cases, a U67 in other places, and compressed with a Neve 33264, a Distressor or an 1176. The vocal compression is not so much about level adjusting as about the sound it gives, giving the vocal the right attitude so it sits better in the track. It may have been 4:1 or 6:1, perhaps even 8:1. Typically I'll hit the vocal pretty hard."
Given the care Avron takes in recording his sounds, it comes as no surprise that he describes his mix process as mostly being about balancing, though he emphasises that "even in the cases where I haven't recorded a track, a big portion of my mix time is still dedicated to balance. Since I had recorded and produced 'This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race', I already had my vision for the track. Basically, the challenge in mixing it was twofold. The verses were all about the fourtothefloor beats and the vocal production, while the guitars were treated like a loop: they are hypnotic and lodge in your brain and then you kind of forget about them. They become part of the fabric.
"What really sticks in your mind is this incessant beat coming from Patrick's kick sample, and his lyrics and his delivery of them. The choruses go into this big, fast rock movement, and the trick was to make the verses big and thumping, while the choruses are also huge, in their own way. The choruses are too fast to be big and thumping, so they had to be more aggressive in the midrange with the guitars and at the upper end of the drums. I knew that getting that balance right was the key to the song working.
"I know that this will sound oversimplified, but the key thing here really was balancing. It took a little while to work out how the choruses would sound, and then I backtracked to the verses to figure out where things would sit volumewise. There wasn't any guesswork or any crazy processing going on; all the sounds already worked in the way that they were intended to. You'll notice on the screenshots that the EQ settings are very minor. Yes, there are lots of plugins on the Edit window, but in many cases I'll already have set the EQ for the whole part on the desk, and the plugins then just work on a small section of the part."
The desk that Avron refers to is the 56input, 6056 SSL E/G series that's in Paramount Studio A in Hollywood. "I went there for the mix for a combination of reasons," explains Avron. "First of all, the recall ability of the SSL, and secondly, the sonics. Having compression on every channel, as well as a wellfunctioning fourband EQ makes things very easy. As I said before, I like things in front of me: it makes grabbing knobs easier and faster. I do still feel very comfortable mixing on a console.
"I do some submixing in Pro Tools, however: regardless of how many tracks are in the Pro Tools file, I usually mix down to 40 channels. The SSL has only 56 inputs anyway, and not all tracks have the same importance. I don't need to have those 13 group vocals separate, I prefer to mix them down to stereo for the end mix. Having fewer channels also makes the end mix more manageable. In the days when I was mixing Everclear records, I used 7080 channel desks and brought back every track individually. It was doable, but very cumbersome. Pro Tools gives me more flexibility, because the automation is great, I can change balances from section to section, or automate EQ settings, and as always there's this Undo button.
"With 'This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race' I worked my way up from the bottom to the top, starting with drums, then the bass and the guitars, until I had the rhythm section happening. I checked the vocals regularly, to see how they were holding up in comparison, and then finished the track working on them."
"The 'G' that shows on the kick drum in the Edit Window is a gate; the '4' is probably an EQ, but I didn't use it; and the '6' is the McDSP Filterbank E6, which boosts the low end a little around 154Hz and takes out midrange around 400, just to give it a bit more definition. I probably used very little outboard gear on the kick drum, perhaps just a little compression and EQ on the board. I hate to be boring, but I had already worked hard at getting exactly the sound I wanted during the recording process. I recorded all the other parts around the kick drum I wanted, so I knew that they also fit together. Mixing in this way becomes more like mastering, ie. finetuning rather than surgery. I muted the overheads and the room in the verses, so Andy's drums really blended in well with the sample kick, and it sounds like someone programmed the drums, rather than Andy playing along with a sample kick."
"The bass had some touchup EQ, again the Filterbank E6, just adding 1.5dB at 65Hz in the choruses. Once the guitars start pumping, the bass gets a little lost, so I just automated a little extra midrange to let the bass compete. It's a very subtle thing. You can see on the Edit Window that I recorded the bass DI, via a mic on the cabinet, and via a Sansamp. For the mix I combined these three and put them on one Aux track, and that came up on one fader on the console."
"The only thing I would have done to the main rhythm guitars is some touchup EQ on the console. There's a hook guitar ('HGT') on which I applied a McDSP E6 to give some more definition, adding around 564 and 4k, to make it cut through better in certain areas. The bass and the drums in the verses are very bottomheavy, and when listening to the mix I felt that the hook guitars could be more defined."
"There's also hook keyboard ('HFX') that plays the same part as the hook guitar. The keyboard sounded so clean that I put it through a LoFi plugin to distort it and noise it up. I took it down to 6 bits and set the distortion to 11. The '4' on 'HFX' is a send, the 'L' is the LoFi and the '2' is a Focusrite EQ that had 0.5dB at 14k. The next plugin was a delay that split delays left and right, with a 4ms and a 23ms delay to help spread the keyboard."
Lead vocals: McDSP Filterbank P4, Waves C4
"I used two McDSP Filterbank P4 plugins on the lead vocal comp, one on the verse and one on the chorus section. As before, they're both very subtle, and different, due to how Patrick is singing and what register he's singing in. In the verse he was singing in a more low register, so I wanted a little bit more top end on his voice to match it to the way it sounds in the choruses, so I boost at 8.4k. On the chorus I did very little. I also have a Waves C4 parametric processor on the lead vocals. This was an experiment, as I hadn't used that plugin a lot. There were a couple of places where things were getting a little abrasive in the upper midrange, so I tried doing multiband compression. It's only compressing, or lowering, those specific frequencies when he's going into that register. As for outboard on the lead vocal, I don't recall, I might have used a short room reverb, just to give it more size. Sometimes I'll use short delays, or harmonisation, to give more size. But overall this track was kept very dry, so it stays in your face."
Backing vocals: Metric Halo Channel Strip, Digidesign Reverb One and Mod Delay II
"There are three elements here: Patrick's left and right answering vocals in the choruses ('LVH'), the funny voices he did ('LVXL'), and the group vocals. I had the Metric Halo Channel Strip on the lead vocal harmony, basically just a little bit of EQ to differentiate them and set them apart from the lead vocal. I took out a little bit of low end to make them sound a little thinner, and added a bit of midrange. I used the Reverb One on the six tracks on which he sang in all sorts of different voices. Its job is to set these vocals apart from the other ones. You can do that in all sorts of different ways — compression, EQ, panning — but in this case I chose reverb. As you can see, it's a short reverb, about half a second, with very short predelay. I put it on an insert of the group, and so it's set to 55 percent wet. Finally, there's the Digirack Mod Delay II on the stereo submix of the 13 group vocal tracks. Again, it shows you that there's not a lot of reverb on this track. There just wasn't much room for reverbs. For the group vocals I created space by using short delays. I think they're set to 16th notes. I either set delays right on the beat, or in the case of more moody, balladlike tracks, a little slow. I don't like delays that rush. In more vibey songs, a slightly behind the beat delay can make things sound a little bit more laidback." .
Unusually, Neal Avron always records through the desk, in contrast to many modern engineers, who prefer outboard mic preamps. "I have an issue with the whole mic preamp situation," explains Avron. "I'm simply not fond of having a kick drum preamp on the left of my control room, a kick EQ behind me, and a compressor somewhere else again. I prefer to have everything in front of me, all EQs and faders and compression, on a desk. It means that I don't have to think about so many outboard boxes everywhere, and instead I have more space to listen to the sounds and focus on the music. I've listened to a lot of mic preamps, and there are differences, but I've found that by the time you get to mixing the music, there's going to be more EQing and compression and panning and whatever other treatments that shape the sound, so as long as the console has its own highquality mic preamps, the convenience of having everything in front of me far outweighs any sonic difference."

Ok, it's easy and cheap to make a hyaluronic acid serum, but even easier to buy this one and know that the amounts are all right.
I add a little licorice and green tea extracts (in glycerine) and use it under my moisturizer (face oil) and it hydrates and plumps my otherwise dehydrated skin. Licorice and green tea blend perfectly with it and add antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, brightening benefits!
I also will put a pinch of vitamin c powder in my hand and blend it with this serum before pressing it onto my face for an extra brightening boost. This formula is perfect for customizing this way.

Maybe I'm crazy... okay, definitely I'm crazy.
But anyway, I have used the stuff 4 whole times (in 2 days) and I *promise*, my skin was noticeably less lined, firmer, and glowier today. This was my reflection at high noon in the rearview mirror of my car, the worst possible conditions normally... except today the rearview was like looking back in time to 5 years ago.
I use the "several pumps" on face, neck/chest & backs of hands that the bottle recommends, and I do so gladly, because the stuff feels GREAT going on, and the 1 oz. bottle was like $11 on Amazon. I *barely* blot dry before I apply, in hopes of sealing in as much water as possible. At night, I follow with coconut oil or Lacura CoQ10 night cream... depending on my mood, basically. In the morning, it's some Olay DNA nonsense with SPF 50.
There is no scent, no burn, no yuck of any kind. Just loveliness. Will update as I see even more breathtaking results, I hope.

Over the past year, I began a horrific struggle with cystic acne; thankfully it is mostly over now, but I've struggled to update my skincare to suit my skin's needs. After going through numerous moisturizers, I've settled on the cerave hydrating lotion, but felt like it wasn't doing quite enough. I bought it because of the high quality ingredients that are usually found only in high end skincare. Hyaluronic acid is one of said ingredients, so I went on the hunt for a serum I could combine with my moisturizer to help calm my skin.
I've been using this for about two weeks, twice a day, and it is AMAZING! No breakouts whatsoever, and my skin is SO soft and calm! I apply 1 pump to my face immediately after washing my face, let it dry, then moisturize as normal. Makeup applies like a dream over this combo. I am forever in love <3
Best of all, 1 oz on Amazon was only $11!!

Terry Crews: Old Spice is a series of television commercials for the Old Spice deodorant brand starring the American actor and former National Football League player Terry Crews. The commercials are often used in YouTube Poops Music Videos (YTPMVs) and MAD videos on the Japanese video sharing website Nico Nico Douga (NND).
On March 31st, 2010, Old Spice uploaded the "Odor Blockers" series of commercials to their official YouTube[1] channel. The videos starred Terry Crews and were directed by Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim from the sketch comedy television series Tim and Eric Awesome Show.
The Actor
Terrence Alan Crews was born in Flint, Michigan and attended Western Michigan University where he was a defensive end on the school football team. In the 11th round of the 1991 NFL Draft, Crews was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams and played in the NFL for a total of seven seasons before retiring in 1997 to pursue acting. Crews played the role of the family patriarch Julius in the television sitcom Everybody Hates Chris and has appeared in several films including Training Day, White Chicks, Idiocracy and The Expendables. As of April 9th, 2011, Crews has a Facebook[2] page with over 311,000 likes and a Twitter[3] account with over 116,000 followers.
On April 1st, 2010, the Internet culture blog UpRoxx[4] published an article about the commercials titled "Tim & Eric's Old Spice Commercials Are Awesomely Ridiculous," which compared the series to the extreme advertisement video Powerthirst. The same day, it was posted to the online video blog Videogum[5], which lauded the directorial talent of Heidecker and Wareheim. On May 10th, Crews was interviewed about the commercials on G4TV's Attack of the Show.
On September 30th, Redditor myarlak submitted an Odor Blocker video to the /r/videos[6] subreddit in a post titled "I don't care what you guys thing Terry Crews is the best old spice guy." Redditor OffBeatBiologist commented to the post linking to a Duck Tales moon theme YTPMV using footage from the commercial.
On October 17th, 2011, the Odor Blocker video was reposted by Redditor bobob102, reaching the front page of the /r/videos[7] subreddit and receiving over 1,477 up votes prior to being archived. On February 1st, 2012, Old Spice released another series of Terry Crews commercials titled "Smell is Power". In the videos, Crews interrupts two different household product commercials, rolls his head down a bowling lane and explodes his brain after using the deodorant.[12]
On Nico Nico Douga
On April 3rd, 2012, the original Terry Crews Odor Blocker videos were uploaded to NND.[8] In the following days, Crews was nicknamed "the fairy of body soap" and several MAD videos were created using the Old Spice commercial footage. As of April 9th, 2012, the original Old Spice video has received over 665,000 views and over 70 MAD videos[9] have been created.

WALLA WALLA - Whitman dropped a 3-0 Northwest Conference soccer match to Pacific Lutheran Saturday.
The Lutes' Chad Kearns, a 6-foot-4 junior, headed home his eighth goal of the season at 2:09 in the first half to spark Pacific Lutheran's victory.
Kearns' early 10-yard header was the beginning of a hot game for the Lutes, which collected a second goal in the eighth minute from Surafel Wodajo.
Pacific Lutheran (2-1, 3-4-2) stretched its lead to 3-0 in the 22nd minute when Spencer Augustin found a keeper deflection and scored from 10 yards out.
Whitman, (1-2, 3-5-1) had its chances to score in the first half.
A few minutes after the opening salvo from Kearns, Missionary sophomore Leland Matthaeus swept across the Lutes goal from left to right and missed just wide of the near post. Less than a minute later, senior Conner Bottomly got an open look from the right side, chipping a ball just wide of the far post.
The Lutes outshot the Missionaries 19-16 for the game, but Whitman put more of its shots on goal (8-6) and held an 8-4 advantage in corner kicks.
Bottomly and freshman Junpei Tsuji paced Whitman's attack. Both players took four shots, putting two apiece on goal.
Whitman hosts Puget Sound at 2:30 today.

October 2005
In early October, Arkansas Attorney General Mike Beebe announced that his office had negotiated a settlement agreement with Beverly Enterprises, Inc., over allegations of mistreatment and neglect of residents in twelve nursing homes operated by the company. Under the terms of the settlement, Beverly paid $1 million into the Arkansas Medicaid Program Trust Fund and has agreed to invest a minimum of $500,000 to improve their nursing homes in Arkansas. General Beebe announced the settlement during National Nursing Home Residents' Rights Week, which was celebrated the first week of October.
With the marketing of the new Medicaid Part D prescription drug program, many Attorneys General are posting information about the program on their websites. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, in her consumer issue of the month, addresses the opportunity for fraud that the marketing of the program offers. She warns consumers that unsolicited salesman may not go door-to-door to market the program and emphasizes that consumers should never give an unsolicited salesperson bank account numbers, social security numbers, or personal financial information in person or over the phone.
In September, Louisiana Attorney General Charles Forti Jr. reported that the owners of St. Rita's Nursing Home in New Orleans had been charged with negligent homicide when thirty-four of the home's residents drowned in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In an October 3d article, the Washington Post reported that General Forti's Medicaid Fraud Unit is also investigating another six hospitals and thirteen nursing homes in the deaths of elderly patients following the hurricane. The question of whether to evacuate nursing home residents from areas in a hurricane's path was raised again during Florida's preparation for Hurricane Wilma.
Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon received a distinguished service award from the Missouri End-of-Life Coalition at the state's end-of-life summit held in Jefferson City on October 6. The award recognizes General Nixon's work to help Missourians in addressing end of life issues and decisions.
In the October 5 issue of The Minnesota Daily, the student-produced newspaper of the University of Minnesota, Minnesota Attorney General Mike Hatch is applauded for his signing the letter sent to the federal Drug Enforcement Agency earlier this year outlining twenty-nine Attorneys General's concerns about the DEA's current enforcement methods against illegal controlled substance diversion.
New Hampshire Attorney General Kelly A. Ayotte has announced the Grand Jury indictments against two individuals for allegedly stealing pain medications from nursing home patients under their care.
In Rogers v. Department of Health, 2005 Fla. App. LEXIS 16464 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. Oct. 18, 2005), the court reversed the findings of the Board of Medicine of the Department of Health that Dr. Rogers had failed to meet the applicable standard of care and improperly prescribed narcotics. The court quoted the decision of an earlier Board in Department of Health, Board of Medicine v. Heller, DOAH Case No. 00-4747PL, 2001 WL 666972, in which the judge stated that, to establish guilt, it must be proven that the accused doctor was "not practicing medicine when he prescribed the drugs in question but instead was engaged in an illicit (and probably often times criminal activity . . . ."
In the United Kingdom, a High Court judge in Re Wyatt, 2005 EWHC 2293 (FAM) (available on LEXIS), has reversed his ruling from a year ago that a severely disabled two-year old girl should not be artificially ventilated should a crisis occur. The "Baby Charlotte" case has been heavily covered by the UK media. Charlotte Wyatt was born at twenty-six weeks gestation with brain, lung, and kidney damage. A year ago, the Portsmouth Hospital NHS trust took the case to the courts because Charlotte's parents would not accept the doctors' conclusion, based on British Medical Association guidelines (Withholding and Withdrawing Life Prolonging Medical Treatment) that she should not be ventilated. Charlotte has not been able to leave the hospital since she was born. In light of her slightly improved condition, the judge determined that the "do not ventilate" order should be lifted.
The September-October 2055 issue of the The Clinical Journal of Pain contains a book review of a new book by Judith A. Paice, Director of the Cancer Pain Program in the Division of Hematology-Oncology and a Research Professor of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. The book is titled "Universal Access to Palliative Care—Challenges and Opportunities".
The current issue of the Journal of Pain contains the results of a study conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan Medical School that found that pharmacies in minority neighborhoods are not nearly as likely to carry sufficient supplies of frequently-prescribed opioid painkillers as are pharmacies in white neighborhoods. The researchers thus opined that minorities are routinely undertreated for chronic pain. The article is titled "Differences in Prescription Opioid Analgesic Availability: Comparing Minority and White Pharmacies Across Michigan._ In that same issue, there is a study of " Trends in Abuse of OxyContin� and Other Opioid Analgesics in the United States: 2002-2004." The authors found systematic data that, over the past five years, opioid analgesic abuse has increased among street and recreational drug users, with OxyContin and hydrocodone products the most frequently abused. They conclude that steps need to be taken to reduce prescription drug abuse, but that very great care needs to be exercised in the nature of these actions so the legitimate and appropriate use of these drugs in the treatment of pain is not compromised.
The October 5, 2005, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association included an article titled "The Supreme Court's Influence on Medicine and Health." The article reviews the Rehnquist Court's decisions between 1986 and 2005, noting that, in a series of cases, the Court recognized that a competent person has a constitutionally protected liberty interest in refusing unwanted medical treatment. The article also states that the Court's most pioneering work in the field was in end-of-life medical care, citing Cruzan v. Director of Missouri Department of Health, 497 U.S. 261 (1990). The author opines that, with the retirement of Justice O'Connor, the Court's federalism revolution may subside.
Two articles from the December 20, 2005, issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, were published on-line, ahead of the print issue. In "End-of-Life Care Preferences of Pediatric Patients with Cancer," the authors interviewed pediatric patients with advanced cancer to identify their preferences about end of life care and the factors that influenced their decisions. The authors concluded that those patients that were involved in an end of life decision understood the consequences of their decision and were capable of participating in the decision process. The authors of "Parent and Physician Perspectives on Quality of Care at the End of Life in Children with Cancer" found that, for parents of children who die of cancer, the principal determinant of high quality physician care is doctor-patient communication. In contrast, the ratings of physicians depended on biomedical, rather than relational, aspects of care.
The Oregon Governor's Commission on Senior Services has published a new, updated version of "Being Prepared: A Resource Guide for End-of-Life Decisions and Planning." It is being distributed to Oregon Agencies on Aging in November.
World Hospice and Palliative Care Day was celebrated on October 8 to promote the need for the expansion of hospice and palliative care services around the world. Lending his support, Archbishop Desmond Tutu told a BBC interviewer that he was passionate in supporting the hospice movement, desiring to see that people "leave life with dignity, peacefully, and with as much comfort as can be provided." To complement the celebration, those supporting hospice and palliative care are urged to sign a petition requesting that policymakers and government officials recognize the needs of people living with terminal illness and their loved ones and increase the availability of hospice and palliative care to meet those needs.
