For a long time in film, theater, and television, when a work called for a character with a disability, it was the norm to cast perfectly abled actors in those roles, especially if the role was one of the leads (you still want to cast a big name star in the lead role, despite the character's disability, after all). This was such a norm that the casting of authentically disabled actors as disabled characters has only become more commonplace since the late 1980s, though normally such actors are in supporting or background roles.
This is about when an authentically disabled person is cast, rather than an able-bodied performer.
Related to CastTheExpert. See WrittenInInfirmity for cases where a performer became disabled during the run of a show and this was acknowledged in-universe.
[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* In ''Film/IAmSam'', Sean Penn, of course, is not really developmentally disabled -- but many of the actors who play his housemates ''are''.
* The Farrelly Brothers movies often use real handicapped people to play handicapped parts (for example, the mentally handicapped Special Olympians in ''The Ringer''). The Farrellys are heavily involved with working with organizations for the handicapped and disabled and portray them favorably as real, grounded, and likable people, but also without playing up their disabilities, with those characters accepting their handicaps as part of their everyday life, such as Hal's friend with spina bifida in ''ShallowHal''. This usually also highlights a dichotomy with their protagonists, who have grievances in their lives that seem very superficial compared to the physical and mental disadvantages their friends have.
* In ''Children Of A Lesser God'', every deaf character is played by an actual deaf actor.
** Any role Creator/MarleeMatlin plays, notable as she's often the lead.
* The only role that Oscar winning actor Harold Russell ever played that was ''intentionally'' written as disabled was his role in ''Film/TheBestYearsOfOurLives''. He played a sailor who lost both hands during World War II (just as Russell himself had in real life). In all his other roles, he played men who just ''happened'' to be disabled, but the disability wasn't the point of the character.
* ''OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest'' used actual inmates of the asylum they filmed in as extras.
* The 1932 movie ''Film/{{Freaks}}'' featured many legitimately disabled actors, including "Prince Randian" (who was born without limbs), Simon Metz (born with microcephaly, a smaller skull and brain) and Minnie Woolsey (who suffered from Virchow Sekel Syndrome, a combination of skeletal malformation and dwarfism).
* In the opening scene of ''SavingPrivateRyan'', a soldier who had just had his legs blown off was played by an actor who had lost his legs years before.
* The anti-drug Jesusplotation horror film ''Blood Freak'' has a scene where a guy's leg gets cut off, which they managed to make a bit more convincing by hiring a guy with a prosthetic leg to play the victim.
* In ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'' they hired a man with only one leg to play the Black Knight after Arthur chops one of his legs off.
** Amusingly, the man [[NamesTheSame happened to be named Richard Burton]]. Creator/JohnCleese would joke later about having Creator/RichardBurton as a stunt double.
* The EvilAlbino in ''Film/EndOfDays'' was played the genuinely albinistic actor Victor Varnado.
* Jade Callegory, who played the disabled main character in ''MacAndMe'' suffers from spina bifida in real life.
* In the remake of ''Film/DawnOfTheDead2004'', real amputees were used to play some of the zombies. The jogger zombie in the beginning, when the survivors are just arriving at the mall, has lost his arm in real life, and the zombie in the parking garage is actually missing both of his legs.
* In ''Film/SoulSurfer'' it is both averted and played straight. Bethany Hamilton, whose life story the film was depicting, was played by Creator/AnnaSophiaRobb in the dialogue scenes. However, when they wanted a stuntwoman to play a one-armed surfer they of course got a one-armed surfer. Guess who she was...
* In the 2010 film of ''TrueGrit'', a woman missing her left forearm was hired to play [[spoiler:the older version of Mattie]] (whose arm was amputated due to a snake bite [[spoiler:near the end]]) in shots where her face is not seen. She wound up having more screen time than the actress credited with playing [[spoiler:older Mattie]].
* ''Film/TheThing1982'' has a particularly infamous scene where a man's arms are suddenly bitten off by the titular monster. For two shots that each lasted only a few seconds, there was an actual amputee standing in the actor's place wearing a mask in his likeness.
* Deaf actor Russell Harvard plays an adult H.W. Plainview (rendered deaf from an explosion) in ''Film/ThereWillBeBlood''.
* The Belgian film ''The Eighth Day'' has Pascal Duquenne (born with Down's syndrome) playing an institutionalised man with Down's syndrome.
* The two eponymous martial artists of ''TheCrippledMasters''. Both actors had developmental disorders which had resulted in a lack of legs and a lack of arms respectively and both had since trained in martial arts despite their disabilities.
* The actor Jay C. Flippen lost a leg to diabetes in the 1960s. He plays a political operative in a wheelchair in ''Film/TheSevenMinutes'', and in ''Film/HellFighters'', his character, Jack Lomax, is written in as a man who is in a wheelchair, having broken his back while fighting an oil-well fire.
* For ''Film/TheToxicAvenger'', Creator/LloydKaufman hired an amputee so Toxie could rip his arm off. Unfortunately, the SFX team was too ambitious and added a fake stump to put over the man's actual stump, [[SpecialEffectsFailure completely defeating the purpose of hiring an amputee]].
* In ''{{Precious}}'', Precious' child with Down Syndrome is played by a child with Down Syndrome, since it's quite hard to fake.
* In ''Film/ResidentEvilRetribution'', the deaf girl Becky, is played by Aryana Engineer, who is deaf in real life. The character Becky was not originally to be deaf, but after an outstanding audition, the role was given to her.
* In ''SpyKids'' Juni and Carmen Cortez's grandfather Valentin is played by Ricardo Montalbán, who used a wheelchair in real life.
* In ''Film/FourWeddingsAndAFuneral'' lead character Charles often has conversations in sign language with his deaf-mute brother David, played by real-life deaf actor [[TheDanza David]] Bower.
* ''Film/BenHur'': One of the more memorable scenes in TheWarSequence is a galley slave escaping with a bloodied stump where his hand used to be. The director noticed the man had only one hand, had it splashed with fake blood, and reshot the scene with him.
* In the 1963 film ''If A Tree Falls'', multiple deaf characters (who played supporting and background characters) are portrayed by real-life deaf actors. It is the first movie of the [[TheSixties 1960s]] ever to have actual deaf actors casted in the film.
* ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'' also used amputees for several of the zombies, most notably a one-armed bridegroom, and a legless zombie Shaun and Ed accidentally run over.
* ''Film/RainMan'', similar to ''I Am Sam'' and ''Cuckoo's Nest'' (see above) where many autistic extras were used.
* An in-universe example: In the novel ''Literature/DreamPark'' by Creator/LarryNiven, Jerry Pournelle, and Stephen Barnes, during the course of an amazingly elaborate Live Action Roleplaying Game that utilizes high-tech special effects, the players encounter (among other things) a one-armed, one-legged zombie played by a one-legged, one-armed actress. The fact that she's real and not a special effect (most of the zombies are holographic) shocks one of the players into inaction enough to allow the amputee zombie to "kill" her.
[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* Pictured: Creator/ChristopherReeve's appearances as Doctor Virgil Swann on ''Series/{{Smallville}}''.
** Even earlier than that, Reeve appeared in a TVMovie remake of Creator/AlfredHitchcock's ''Film/RearWindow''.
** His last film role before he was paralyzed ironically had {{inverted}} this trope, playing a man who ''faked'' the condition (the real life accident happened only five days after the film premiered).
* Clark Middleton, whose struggle with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis retarded his growth and prevents him from having full range of motion, spent two years on ''Series/LawAndOrder'' as Doctor Ellis, one of the show's Medical Examiners. Ellis's lab has access ramps, lower counters and examination tables, and is built to "little person" scale, something once remarked upon by Lennie Briscoe. Most of Middleton's other roles, however, were characters who just ''happened'' to be disabled.
* Geri Jewell, who played Jewel on ''{{Series/Deadwood}}'' and [[TheDanza Geri]] on ''Series/TheFactsOfLife'', actually has cerebral palsy.
* S. Robert Morgan, who played Butchie on ''Series/TheWire'', is actually blind.
* Corky from ''Series/LifeGoesOn'' had Down Syndrome, as did Chris Burke, the actor who portrayed him.
* Darryl Mitchell: paraplegic in real life as well as on ''{{Ed}}'' and ''{{Brothers}}''.
* Actor Michael Patrick Thornton, who is partially paralyzed and uses a wheelchair regularly (though he can walk for short distances) can regularly be seen playing a doctor who ''just happens'' to be in a wheelchair on ''PrivatePractice''.
* ''Series/SueThomasFBEye'', based on the true story of a deaf FBI agent, features numerous deaf actors playing deaf characters. Most of them, excepting Deanne Bray in the title role and [[RealPersonCameo Sue Thomas in a cameo]], act entirely in American Sign Language.
** ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' would later cast Deanne Bray as the deaf character Emma, with her power of enhanced synesthesia being tied into her disability.
* Grandma Esther Walton was depicted as suffering a stroke on ''TheWaltons'', after Ellen Corby, the actress who played her, suffered one in 1976.
* During the fourth season of ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent'', Captain Deakins suffered through a bout of Bell's Palsy and was forced to wear an eyepatch for several episodes. This was because the actor playing Deakins, Jamey Sheridan, was actually suffering through a bout of Bell's palsy and was forced to wear an eyepatch.
* This trope is both invoked and subverted in the ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' episode "Competence." The episode is about a young woman, Katie, who has Down Syndrome. She becomes pregnant after being tricked into having sex by her boss (she doesn't understand what's going on-he tells her it's "wrestling"). She wants to keep the baby, but her mother fears she isn't mentally capable of raising a child. While Andrey Fay Friedman, the actress who plays Katie does have Down Syndrome, her mentally-handicapped boyfriend is played by a non-disabled actor.
* All the major deaf characters in ''Series/SwitchedAtBirth'' are played by actors with some sort of hearing impairment, most being profoundly deaf.
* ''Series/BreakingBad'': RJ Mitte has mild cerebral palsy in real life. Walt Jr. was conceived from the start as having it, and Mitte had to learn to walk with crutches and speak ''less'' clearly to portray the level of affectation that the show's creator had in mind.
* Robert David Hall, who lost his legs in 1978 when an 18-wheeler crushed his car, plays Dr. Al Robbins on ''{{CSI}}''. His character's legs were lost when he was hit by a drunk driver; both Hall and Robbins walk using prosthetics and a cane.
** The only time in Hall's entire career that he was ever hired for a role ''because'' of his disability was when he played the amputee Mobile Infantry recruiter in''Film/StarshipTroopers''.
** Both ''{{CSI}}'' and ''CSI:NY'' have starred Deanne Bray and Marlee Matlin in roles as deaf characters. On CSI, Bray played the head of a school for the deaf and Grissom's ex-girlfriend, while on CSI:NY Matlin played the deaf mother of a murdered deaf girl.
* Similarly, there's Jim Byrnes on ''Series/{{Highlander}}: The Series'' and ''Series/{{Wiseguy}}''; both he and his characters, Joe Dawson and Lifeguard, were double amputees.
* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' featured an episode called "Loud as a Whisper", about a deaf mediator named Riva. Riva was played by deaf actor Howie Seago, who had petitioned the producers of the show to make an episode about deaf people, mostly to dispel myths about them.
* In the ''Series/{{Monk}}'' episode "Mr. Monk Gets a New Shrink," when Dr. Kroger throws in the towel and quits his profession after his cleaning lady is killed in his office, Monk is redirected to a colleague of Dr. Kroger's, Dr. Jonah Sorensen, who has an amputated right arm as the consequence of a boating accident (though Dr. Kroger appears unaware of this, given that in a later scene he states "I heard he lost some weight"). Dr. Sorensen's actor is an actual amputee, and the idea as to what kind of physical abnormality he should have was Tony Shalhoub's.
* Actor Mitch Longley was paralyzed in a car accident his senior year in high school. Despite this, he went on to be a very successful actor, with roles on several TV shows and [[SoapOpera Soap Operas]], including one where he played a physician. He was written as "normally" as possible. Any difficulties in mobility were also incorporated into the show-a narrow-minded supervisor was reluctant to let him participate in a surgical rotation, and he was given a groundbreaking storyline in which his character embarked on a romance with another-it was made clear that his injuries had not affected his sexual abilities.
--->"My disability is a huge thing to some people, but to me it's just a personal characteristic like hair color. I'm hoping that in a few years, it won't even be an issue for me as an actor because it will be so commonplace."
* Actress Amy Ecklund, who was deaf, was hired to play deaf Amish girl Abigail on GuidingLight. She was given typical soap opera storylines, though an [[NearRapeExperience attempted rape]] was made all the more frightening by the fact that she could not hear her attacker creeping up on her. Towards the end of her tenure on the show, both the actress-and consequently her character-had a cochlear implant.
* {{Glee}} has both played this trope straight with one-off character Sean (played by paraplegic actor Zack Weinstein) and Becky and Jean (both actresses do have Down Syndrome) and (to much controversy) {{averted}} it with Artie. The supposed reason was one dream-sequence song where Artie got up and walked, which would not have been possible with an actually paraplegic actor.
** It also makes sense for Artie, where travelling for the shows with a paraplegic actor would be more difficult.
* One of the lead characters of ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryMurderHouse'' has a daughter, Adelaide, with Down's; she's played by Jamie Brewer, who has Down Syndrome.
* In ''MyNameIsEarl'', Didi the one-legged woman that Earl slept with [[spoiler: (and stole a car and prosthesis from)]] is played by an actress that does, indeed, have only one real leg.
** Similarly, Didi's unnamed boyfriend is played by an actor/motivational speaker who is missing both legs and one of his arms.
** Marlee Matlin also played Joy's deaf lawyer, who used sign language interpreters to help with her work. They playfully made a gag where Earl loved her "accent."
* Actor J. Grant Albrecht, who uses a wheelchair due to a spinal condition, plays an Assistant District Attorney on ''InPlainSight'' who just happens to be in a wheelchair. His disability has never been mentioned on the show.
* Marlee Matlin as Joey Lucas on ''TheWestWing''. Both Matlin and Lucas are deaf.
* On SonnySpoon, the eponymous main character had a sometimes-sidekick who was (and was played by) a man with no legs.
* ''[[OneEpisodeWonder The Paul Reiser Show]]'' attempted this, with Paul's older son being played by Brock Waidmann, who has spina bifida. He wasn't in either of the two episodes that aired.
* MichaelJFox, who has Parkinson's Disease and had retired from major acting roles, has returned to a [[Series/TheMichaelJFoxShow lead role]] by playing a TV News reporter with Parkinson's who is returning to his news show after retiring when he was diagnosed.
** He's also been Louis Canning on ''Series/TheGoodWife'', a lawyer who has a similar condition and shamelessly plays it up for sympathy before juries.
** He also [[AsHimself played himself]] on an episode of CurbYourEnthusiasm, where LarryDavid is convinced that Fox intentionally shook up a soda Fox had given him, and used his Parkinson's as an excuse (they had gotten into a bit of a shouting match shortly before Fox offered the soda as a peace offering).
* ''CoronationStreet'' has had a few wheelchair-using characters in its time, though previously they were played by able-bodied actors. Currently, however, both Izzy Armstrong and actress Cherylee Houston, who plays her, suffer from a rare connective tissue disorder, Type III Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
* ''Series/NewTricks'' introduced Holly Griffin (daughter of retired cop Danny Griffin), played by Storme Toolis, in series 9. Both Griffin and Toolis are wheelchair users due to cerebral palsy
* In the ''Series/GameOfThrones'' episode "Blackwater", the Baratheon lieutenant whom Tyrion surprises from behind by chopping his leg off with an axe was played by a one-legged war veteran with a fake leg for the special effect. In the commentary track, Creator/PeterDinklage muses that he didn't feel particularly heroic, ambushing an 80-year-old cripple.
* Mid-eighties ''Series/DoctorWho'' recurring villain Sil is a mostly-aquatic sentient amphibian who is very clumsy on land and has to be carried around by flunkies. In reality, Nabil Shaban, who played him, has severe osteogenesis imperfecta, and uses a wheelchair.
[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
* Professional wrestler Gregory Iron genuinely has Cerebral Palsy. Most bad guys he feuds with will either mock his disability, or claim he's faking it.
* Professional wrestler Zack Gowen had his left leg amputated at the age of 8. He usually wrestles without a prosthetic.
* This trope is {{discussed}} in-universe and {{played with}} in Creator/MartinMcDonagh's ''The Cripple of Inishmaan'', where the disabled main character attempts to get cast in a film about a crippled boy. He doesn't get the part because the filmmakers would rather "cast a normal fella who can act crippled, than a crippled fella who can't act at all." It's also a moment of LeaningOnTheFourthWall, as the actor who plays Cripple Billy is almost always able-bodied.
* In a subversion of this trope (''Abled Character, Disabled Actor'') wheelchair-using actor David Adkins often appears in stage productions playing characters who aren't wheelchair users normally, and usually does so to rave reviews. He was even once cast in a production of ''Theatre/JuliusCaesar'' as Octavius, and performed the entire part from his wheelchair, which the rest of the cast simply pretended was not there.
* In ''Webcomic/UnintentionallyPretentious'', the actress playing Mia [[http://www.unintentionallypretentious.com/index.asp?c=114 is blind]], and that it was simply written into her character.
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Trade Ya", one of the minor characters is a pegasus character with their legs fitted into what best could be described as a wheelchair for ponies. The character is voiced by a young fan with spinal muscular atrophy, and this was the result of a Make-A-Wish charity effort.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Extra Large Medium", Chris dates Ellen, a girl with Down syndrome. Ellen was voiced by Andrea Fay Friedman, who has Down syndrome in real life.
[[folder:Real Life]]
* Actor/musician Jim Byrnes lost both his legs in a car accident. Most of his roles are of the "a guy who just happens to not have his legs" type.
* In a notable inversion of this trope, the late great supporting actor and HeyItsThatGuy alumnus [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_Elcar Dana Elcar]] played a lot of ''sighted'' characters late in his career, ''after'' he went completely blind due to glaucoma (though he often played blind characters as well-most notably on ''MacGyver'', when his condition was written into the show). He was just that good an actor.
* Another inversion: veteran British actor Eric Sykes went deaf in the early 1960s, and was registered blind in the early 1990s (his distinctive glasses had no lenses, and were a bone-conducting hearing aid). This didn't stop him appearing in post-2000 films like ''The Others'' and ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'', and on the West End stage.
* Some of MichaelJFox's later work skirts this territory. For instance, on his guest appearance on ''{{Scrubs}}'', he played a character with OCD, which helped explain his somewhat twitchy movements.
** Fox has stated that his tics in recent work (most noticeably in ''Series/TheGoodWife'', where his character has a similar condition) are actually the result of overmedication, as with too little he is completely unintelligible and he prefers to err on the other side.
* Kurt Dykhuizen, who was born deaf, played Jason on ''Series/BarneyAndFriends''. He shared some ASL, but his hearing aid never came up in conversation.
* Deaf actress Creator/MarleeMatlin is pretty much the go-to person when a female deaf character is wanted (although her deafness is often just a character trait and not the whole point of her being there-she has also {{inverted}} this trope by playing a ''hearing'' person at least once, in the TV movie ''Against Her Will: The Carrie Buck Story'').
** DeanneBray does a lot of this as well, although she tends to be cast if they require the deaf actress to do a lot of speaking.
** Ditto Shoshannah Stern.
** And more recently, Katie Leclerc.
** In fact, the ''Series/HallmarkHallOfFame'' movie ''Sweet Nothing In My Ear'' brought ''all three'' of these actresses together. The plot was about whether Matlin's character's deaf son (played by another deaf actor, Noah Valencia) would get a cochlear implant.
* Alvin Law was born without arms. You may have seen him on an episode of ''Series/TheXFiles'' wherein he played a minister who... had no arms.
* Amputees In Action is a casting agency specializing in amputee actors and stuntmen, including the actor from the ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan'' example above. In their words, "The graphic reality of our amputations translates to stunning results on-screen."
* Actor Michael Berryman was born with Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia, a rare condition which caused him to have no hair, fingernails, or sweat glands. His distinctive appearance led to a career in horror and science fiction movies, usually playing villains or monsters.
* Similar to Berryman would be Creator/RondoHatton, who acquired acromegaly from being gassed in WWI, and played a number of villains with his condition.
** Richard Kiel, best remembered for his portrayal of the Film/JamesBond villain Jaws, also built his acting career on playing the "heavy" due to his acromegaly. His disabled status was compounded by a car accident in 1992, which left him with balance problems and need of a cane or, at the end of his life, a wheelchair.
* Creator/LionelBarrymore, from 1938's ''YouCantTakeItWithYou'' onward, due to arthritis and hip injury requiring use of a wheelchair (he used crutches in ''YouCantTakeItWithYou'').
* The U.S. military uses real amputee actors to play wounded soldiers in training simulations, to accustom trainees to the shock of dealing with limb-loss casualties.
* Actor Don Stroud had his face mutilated by a mugger and then played many characters who also had mutilated faces.
* The Czech actor Jan Kapar was paralyzed after falling from a tree. All future plays of his theatre group (Jára Cimrman Theatre in Prague) specifically included either a part of a wheelchair-bound man or a part where the actor spends the whole play sitting in one spot and never moves from it.

Got this at Dollarama in both Honey Dew and Acai. For $1. I didnt find it to be gritty. Really moisturizing and nice scent. Its pretty long lasting too. I am quite impressed with these lip balms i really didnt expect much from it and just bought it for fun. This is going into a Staple product for me and for $1. I highly Recommend this and its natural very impressive!
Picked this up at Dollarama for a buck. Nice!
I have it in the honeydew melon. Love the smell. Does it taste? No. But I don't buy lipsmackers to get a taste, I buy them to moisturize my lips. And that they do!
I don't feel anything gritty as some other posters have commented.
Paraben free, 100 % natural, amazing ingredients, olive oil, I am a fan off.
Will repurchase.
Wow! A lot of people say they find this lip balm gritty but I dont find it gritty at all. It glides on so smoothly and feel really great on the lips. I got the vanilla bean, it smells really nice, i wouldnt really say it smells like vanilla, it smells kinda candy sweet (?!?). You can tell its artificial scent so not really 100% natural. Rather than that, I pretty happy with the product. Decent lip balm with no petroleum and all that nasty stuff. Does a good job of moisteurizing. Not sticky or thick. Packaging is not the best. I love Nivea's lip balm packaging. Its the best ever (not the actual product inside though).
I have this in Pink Guava, and I really like it. It's a good balm - moisturizing, fairly natural, very little scent, and inexpensive. I'm happy and I'd buy it again :)
I bought this in Honeydew Melon. As other reviewers have said, it's gritty when first applied and while it had a nice scent, it has no flavor, which is somewhat disappointing for me. It did moisturize my lips pretty well, but the grittiness was such a turn off for me that once I ran out (thankfully) I decided not to buy another one. I was really hoping I would like it because the ingredients seemed like it would be so wonderful on the lips. Maybe I'll just have to make my own lip balm. LOL!
I think the one bad thing about this chapstick is that it is super gritty. I bought the acai berry and it is moisturing, but it doesn't last and I don't like the sandpaper feeling on my lips when you first put it on. The smell is ok and the taste is regular chapstick like but overall not my favorite chapstick. I do love Bonnebells regular lipsmackers, my fav is watermelon, it never fails me I love it. Well guess its back to that!
I got this balm in Honeydew Melon.
Well, let me just say that I disliked this product very much. The smell was pretty, but that's the only redeeming quality of this product.
When I put it on, I noticed that it didn't glide across my lips easily. The formula is sticky, thick and shiny. I did not feel comfortable with it on and it didn't moisturize AT ALL.
Overall, I pretty much hated it. I don't recommend this product to anyone!
Even though I love my trusty Blistex DCT with SPF 20% (check out my review), I found myself missing the good old Lipsmacker stick for a happier scent/flavour and for hygienic reasons when I'm on the go. As I was about to grab my all time favourite Dr. Pepper, I saw the Natural line AND it was on sale for $2.00 at SDM so I figured I'd give it a shot. This review is on Pink Guava scent.
I suspect if yours is grainy and you got it on sale, chances are, it wasn't handled properly and beeswax started to separate from oils. Mine is completely smooth; that being said, I anticipated "artificial-intense" scent/flavour only to be slightly disappointed that the scent of beeswax was clearly the star in this product. Nothing tragic but doesn't exactly make me look forward to reapplication. It goes on nicely, however it sits on the surface of your lips meanwhile I prefer my balm to penetrate and nourish a little but that's strictly personal preference. Some reviewers complained about averse effects causing lip dryness but I didn't notice any of that in the past few days of use. Lastly, the 100% Natural is a registered trademark and not a factual claim as there are synthetic elements present although to Bone Bell's defense, natural ingredients definitely prevail in this product compared to the rest of their happy artificial flavours.
The only reason I said I would give this product another buy is to see if maybe Acai scent would overpower the scent of wax but I'm not getting my hopes up. I also had an issue with the lack of proper sealing and thought that the excessive cardboard packaging was pointless even though it was earth friendly.

I bought this in Acai Berry and really like that it says it is 100% natural, with the ingredients being listed as Olive Oil, Beeswax, Pure Fruit Essence, Aloe and Vitamin E. It smells yummy, like a grape/berry scent, and is very moisturizing. I typically use it as an overnight treatment, it adds quite a bit of shine to my lips. It is very slick and a soft formula, not waxy or thick at all. It goes on very smooth, I did not experience any of the grittiness that other reviews have mentioned. I would like to try the other flavors now.
More reviews by peachfireflies
You won't be smacking your lips when you put on Lipsmackers 100% natural.
I bought the acai berry one. The price was about $3, very cheap. The packaging looked nice. However, the actual product was not good. There was no smell or taste at all, It was was girtty and slimy, and it did not moisturize all that well. Plus, 2 days after using it I have a red bump on my lip. I do not recommend it.

cars plastic tube, doe foot applicator. $26USD (if i recall, sorry I'm not entirely sure) but it is $35AUD here.
peach coloured lipgloss which is quite pigmented that has gold reflects. not too sticky, not an entirely thin formula that slides off your lips. does not have a strong smell, if there is one at all.
i love this lipgloss because i feel it is the perfect stickiness for me. it goes so well over a nude lip, right in the centre to make the lips appear fuller. it goes great over just a nude lip liner too. its so versatile because if you put it over a lipstick, the peach pigment mixes and creates a nice colour.
i know its expensive and i know there is almost a dupe for everything, but i would buy this again at full price. there is a lot of product in the tube, and it has nice sleek packaging.
i have nc40 skintone, and feel that this just gives my lips that extra oomph. I'm reaching for this all the time, along with my mac lustreless in love nectar
Sexy, gorgeous, and seductive. This is a peachy and pinky gloss at the same time so it's so universal. The fact that there's really no smell and that it's not super goopy only makes me love it more. There's a reason for it's cult like following and I'm happy I joined the cult.

I returned this to sephora. $26 is too much for a mediocre lip gloss. it's very pretty but just not worth the price. it's lasting power is okay because it is fairly sticky. I bought Rimmel's All Day Seduction which is supposed to be a dupe (and it's only $5)

Got this as a free sample from Sephora. It's nice, but the colour doesn't last. Like all sheer lipsticks and glosses, you have to reapply very often which I don't like. I probably won't buy his again.

It's my first Nars' lipgloss so I had high expectation given the price and brand reputation. I guess it didn't let me down. The texture is sticky and long lasting. The colour is a bit pale when compares to my lipgloss collection, however it does compliment my lip colour quite well. It's more suited for spring/ summer.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really wanted to like this lip gloss but it just showed up as an extremely frosted (and I mean frosted!!!) gold colour on my lips. it didn't suit me at all. Didn't think it was possible but it made me look borderline washed-out. It looks beautiful when swatched but not for me.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I just threw this lip gloss out. I bought this on a whim at Sephora. I love--LOVE--the Orgasm blush. The lipgloss, however, was really a letdown. I was never that impressed with the color. There are lip glosses everywhere close to this shade. And I rarely splurge on a high end lip gloss. So I was disappointed. But I wore it occasionally. I can't even say I was impressed with the formula. Again--for a high end gloss--I just didn't see what was so great about it. But after I had owned it for maybe 6 months the formula turned rancid. It was horrible. I read somewhere or maybe saw on youtube others saying the same thing. Save your money girls. There are a lot of Nars products that are wonderful but this gloss is not one of them IMO.

This lipgloss is just too expensive for what you get. Its a subtle color, nothing spectacular and im not understanding the hype of it. The color Orgasm is a light pink color with gold undertones to it. On my lips the gold stand out more than the pink and its very sheer and Not a color that really stands out on your lips. Not super impressed for the price I paid and I found the EXACT same color In the brand Milani for $3.99. Sorry, but i'll stick to that one.

I rate Orgasm much higher than Turkish Delight because I love the colour and the finish. I can't say exactly what the colour is because in the tube it looks peachy, but on my lips it's like a mix of nude/pink/peach/gold with a bit of sparkle. It looks amazing and really complements my hair and makeup.

The Best Kpop Non-Title Tracks
Alright: we've been talking about making this video for a while now, and we've finally gone through with it. What are the best Kpop songs that weren't promoted or don't have official music videos? We made our list and talked about them. They're in a playlist as well, if you're interested!
We skipped out on a few, however, because we didn't want an unseemly long video. Here are the other songs we really like but didn't get a chance to talk about:
B.A.P – Shady Lady
Damn this is a great song! It has a Zion T vibe to it, and is really reminiscent of their Coffee Shop track, which was just loooovely. We're always conflicted about B.A.P. We love it when they're badass and awesome; hate it when they're whiny and whimper. Songs like this are totally different from both sides, and I think they actually pull this off, in many ways, better than their tracks with music videos. Damn they've got some smooth-ass voices! I…just don't think Zelo fits the vibe of tracks like this very well. Bang Yong Guk has a smooth, deep voice; Zelo's energy just doesn't fit the wavelength. But he's not terribly off in this. It's still a really lovely track. Check it out!
MBLAQ "둘이라서 (Because There are Two)"
This really isn't like anything we've seen from MBLAQ before, though it does have elements of their more Spanishy sounding tracks. It's very much a Kpop sounding song, but the background track is really different. It's got DJ scratching in the background, and just makes for a different listen. Give it a shot. Let us know what you think.
After School "Dressing Room"
Thank you so much to Amyaco for the recommendation. HOT DAMN THIS SONG IS GREAT! Listen to it with headphones. Right from the get go you hear the "uh uh uh" panning left and right and it's just badass as hell. The whole song has a driving feel to it and you'll be biting your lip and head bobbing to it instantly. Great stuff here. Really great stuff.
The Snuggly One "41 Days"
Here's another song that does a great job of left/right panning. Get some good headphones and listen to the bass hit left/right…left/right. It's awesome. The whole song has a lost in the city at night and feeling hopeless about the world vibe to it. A bit M83 ish, almost. And M83 is one of my favourite bands ever. I could do without the "how it feel right now" part, though…
Yeah! So that's our list, as well as our honourable mentions. Let us know what you thought of our list, and feel free to add some more!
We've got some extra scenes that didn't make the final cut. A lot of scenes, in fact. We talked for almost an hour and trimmed this video down A LOT. Here's what didn't make the cut:

Kpop Music Mondays-
I love listening to H.O.T's songs, but my favorite is Outside Castle!
Also, YG should've promoted 1TYM's 위험해 before the years of disappointment.
Shinee's Evil, Spoiler, Girls Girls Girls, almost all songs out of their Misconseptions Albums, Ready or Not
f(x)'s Pink Tape album, especially Airplane and Goodbye Summer
SuJu's All my heart, Haru, Shake it up, Outsider, Miracle (but I don't know exactly, whether there is no MV of it)
Exo's Baby don't cry, Black Pearl, Heart Attack, Don't go, My lady, First snow
Something like that =D -
super juniors andante
and why I likeyou
are the best -
i love the whole list and my fave is wonder girl's stop! god i was so obsessed with it when it first came out. but i'm still sad that theres no teen top in this list… here's my fave non title track song of teen top, its from their first full album 'no.1′ it's called Hello. it's so nice and i think martina would love it! idk just take a look guys you won't regret it it's a truly beautiful song (i'm not being biased haha) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iscTM-72RX8 among all of teen top's songs this is my fave!! i love the hello hello part so much ah it melts my heart :')
i loooooooovvvveee Daesungs – cotton candy. I love his voice and any of his songs on Bigbang albums. This song just makes me feel so warm and fuzzy.. i mean come on just read the lyrics they are so cute. I also love his song baby don't cry when i am sad.
i also like
seungri: gg be
bigbang: cafe
monstar: after time passes (ost to the drama.. that oddly i didn't really like, but i like the song)
10cm: smelly girl
urban zakapa: cafe latte
lim kim: coloring( has a music video but i just love that song), without knowing it at all
Oh, there are so many good songs that don't get that spotlight.
I loved Europa and Wait a Minute from Girl's Generation's Mr. Mr. mini album. I thought Europa was the best song, even over Mr. Mr. Which I loved! -
I have that Shinee album and the only track I absolutely cannot stand is "Electric Heart." I don't like anything about it. It just doesn't sound good to me. I love the rest of the album especially "Shout Out" and "Ready or Not". I like Up & Down as well but I always think about how Shinee likes some crazy chicks…
CNBLUE- Lie
CNBLUE- Cold Love
B.A.P.- With You
B.A.P.- Coma
B.A.P.- Save Me
f(x)- Beautiful Stranger
L(Infinite) & Kim Yerim- Love U Like U
G-Dragon- Black ft Jennie KimNot a non title track but:
2NE1- Come Back Home UNPLUGGED (different too the one in the mv) -
i like lee hi's song and there is one song, "Fool for love". i really like this song and i just get hooked up with the lyrics.
and for bigbang, i like "Good person". i can't recall the song is from which album, because my archive is a mess, well, but, this song is really good. the song is weirdly good for me :")
F(x)'s Pretty Girl is awesome. I wish it had a video. The lyrics and message are awesome. I just wish people wouldn't mistake it for a racist song. Just because they mention white skin does not put it in a racist light.
hmmm…there are so many great kpop songs out there that weren't promoted…this is a hard choice lol. anyways, here's some of the songs that are on my list:
Exo- XOXO and My Lady
INFINITE- Because (Sunggyu solo from Over The Top album)
Block B- No Joke and Did You Or Did You Not?
G-Dragon- Obsession
U-KISS- Obsession and Baby Don't Cry
1TYM- Take It Slow (Danny Solo) -
Best Non-Kpop Track everrrr would be BTS – Where Did You Come From? It has an upbeat tone and its satoori which is so unique in my opinion! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1xRJs-uIVE
One of my favorites is "Scandal" by Ailee. It is on "A's Doll House" and the music was written by JeA of Brown Eyed Girls.
What, noone has mentioned F(x)'s "Step"? Seriously guys, it's lovely and totally make you wanna dance~
Kim Sung Kyu – 41 days … oh really love this song !!!
Another song that definitely deserves more attention is Stranger by Shinee. Why does this song not have a music video? :-O It is SO catchy. This may sound a bit biased… but I think Shinee has some awesome songs that deserves more attention. Especially The Misconceptions Of Me album.
EXO's Peterpan! it is the best song from the album TT___TT
K.will's Bon Voyage!!!!!
B.A.P's It's All Lies is such a smooth and touching song.
Also check out Voicemail, it's written entirely by Yongguk the leader! It's a really unique song that includes the dial tones as part of the beat. I also really like Dancing in the Rain, it's such a lighthearted feel-good song <3

Do you need help finding car insurance quotes? You probably want to find a coverage that is affordable and is high-quality. If this is the case, we are happy to help you. Here is what you need to do:
- Enter Your Zip Code.
- Get a list of the cheapest car insurance companies.
- Get quotes and compare them.
- Buy policy from the cheapest provider.
Following these simple steps, you will be able to not only get car insurance quotes, but also a quality car insurance policy that you can depend on and that will not break your bank.
Do not forget that if you are leasing or financing your vehicle, you are most likely required to get full coverage. Check your contract carefully and find out. You can decrease the full coverage car insurance premium by increasing the deductibles.
If you own an old vehicle, it might make sense for you to opt out for third party auto insurance coverage. This type of coverage only includes liability insurance, which is required by all states. However, third party car insurance is your cheapest option.
Whatever you choose to do, ensure to compare car insurance quotes. Doing this simple step can save you hundreds and hundreds of dollars per year.
Understanding Auto Insurance Quotes
Nowadays, majority of people are purchasing auto insurance. This is not a surprise since the federal government in United States made this mandatory. It is illegal to drive without insuring your car. If you are caught, you might pay expensive fines for it or spend some of your life in prison. Before you desperately purchase an auto insurance policy, you need to know some basic information about it. Did you know that it is essential to search and compare auto insurance quotes from different insurance companies? Yes it is. Different companies' offers different policy and coverage's with different price range. When you compare, there is a possibility that you will get the best deal out from your money.
When it comes to getting car insurance quotes, you don't have to worry about it. There are a lot of ways on how you can do it. You can simply call some insurance companies and ask them for quotes. Asking for insurance quote is free. If you don't like the hassle of calling each company and speak to different insurance agent, you can also consider getting your car insurance quotes online. A lot of people prefer to get it online because it is convenient and easier too. When taking out car insurance quotes, you have to remember that it can be affected by a lot of factors such as your car model, your age and gender, driving record and the safety of your area. When requesting for a quote, it is important that you provide correct and accurate information. You can just imagine the wrong figures that will come out if you provide wrong information so as much as possible, be honest.
Insurance companies will also ask you about your personal information. However, do not worry about anything because they will keep your records confidential. After you have gathered enough quotes from different insurance companies, pick some quotes that attract your interest. Let's say out of 10 quotes, you get 5 or less quotes and the remaining quotes, do not include it in your options. After selecting, it's the perfect time to do comparison. Compare each quote and determine which quote can cater your needs and at the same time, can fit to your budget. After you have decided to choose a certain insurance quote, give the company a call and ask for possible discounts. This is not hard since many insurance companies are willing to give discounts to people who are eligible for it.

"Let me be straight with you. What I'd rather have is an airplane. We just had a third kid. I don't like flying commercial. I like to take my family to Hawaii. When I go east, I'd like to have pilots I know. "

Third-quarter pretax earnings at Berkshire Hathaway's "other services" division, which includes FlightSafety International and NetJets, climbed 15 percent from the same quarter last year, to $281 million. The increase reflects stronger demand for pilot training at FlightSafety and, at Netjets, higher revenues, more favorable foreign currency exchange rates and slightly better operating margins. Berkshire noted that FlightSafety's earnings rose primarily because of increased training demand in the business aviation and regional airline markets.

The Stogie Vise
Michael Moretti
Posted: July 18, 2005
When you first hear about the Stogie Vise, you think it could be anything. Perhaps a new testosterone-pumping series about two Miami police detectives infiltrating the cigar business, or maybe the latest puritanically moral dissertation from the cigar police on the dangers of smoking cigars. Upon first seeing the Stogie Vise, you may think it could be anything as well, looking like something someone assembled in a garage out of old engine parts.
Actually, the Stogie Vise from Arango Cigar Co. is an effective and sturdy support for a cigar. It literally is a vise clamp attached to the bottom of a cigar clip. The idea is that while you're engaged in active pursuits or anytime an ashtray or flat surface is not available, this little gadget will provide a place to put your smoke.
This is not the first time this idea has been proposed by Arango or in the general cigar accessory market, but the Vise is different because of its appearance and brawny construction. It is industrial-looking with a lot of exposed screws and bolts that look as if they could be harmful to a delicate wrapper. However, it is very gentle. The clip is made of springy steel extending from a ball bearing joint, which pivots 360 degrees. Cigars of small or large ring gauges slide in with a slight push and the clip expands and retracts to accommodate the size. The vise on the bottom of the clip adjusts smoothly with a turn of a small knob. The clip is about two inches wide when fully extended and can fasten to almost any rail or bar -- perfect for a golf cart or fishing boat -- or even a belt if necessary.
Made in the United States, the Stogie Vise retails for $60 and can be purchased at retail tobacconists throughout the country.

experimental studies of those chemicals, unless otherwise noted, were conducted with pure chemicals, in contrast with the epidemiologic studies discussed in later chapters, in which exposures were often to mixtures of chemicals.
This chapter begins with a brief summary of major conclusions presented in previous Veterans and Agent Orange reports regarding the toxicology of the compounds of interest. That summary is followed by what makes up the majority of the chapter, overviews and discussions of the relevant experimental studies that have been published on 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T, picloram, cacodylic acid, and TCDD since Update 2000. Within the update for each of the chemicals, the experimental studies investigating the toxicokinetics, mechanisms of action, and disease outcomes of exposure to the chemical are discussed. Where appropriate, the mechanisms of action are discussed as they relate to a particular endpoint. Estimating potential human health risks on the basis of the animal data is then discussed.
Chapter 4 of VAO and Chapter 3 of Update 1996, Update 1998, and Update 2000 review the results of animal and in vitro studies published through 2000 that investigate the toxicokinetics, mechanism of action, and disease outcomes of the herbicides used in Vietnam, and the contaminant TCDD. The toxicity of the four herbicides has not been studied extensively, but in general they are not considered particularly toxic because high concentrations are usually required to modulate cellular and biochemical processes. In contrast, the toxicity of TCDD has been studied extensively. On the basis of the experimental data reviewed in previous Agent Orange reports, the committees concluded that TCDD elicits a diverse spectrum of sex-, strain-, age-, and species-specific effects, including carcinogenesis, immunotoxicity, reproductive and developmental toxicity, hepatotoxicity, neurotoxicity, chloracne, and loss of body weight. The scientific consensus is that TCDD is not directly genotoxic and that its ability to influence the carcinogenic process is mediated by epigenetic events, such as enzyme induction, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and intracellular communication. Most, if not all, of TCDD's effects are mediated through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), which interacts with other proteins, binds to DNA and results in biochemical effects, including enzyme induction.
Toxicokinetics (also referred to as pharmacokinetics) pertains to the routes and rates of uptake, tissue distribution, transformation, and elimination of a toxicant. Those processes, in part, determine the amount of a particular chemical that reaches potential target organs or cells and thereby influences toxicity to organs

As the weekend wound down, the Hollywood Palladium was the place to be for last night's (December 7) TrevorLIVE LA Honoring Robert Greenblatt party.
"Modern Family" starlet Sarah Hyland was all gussied up in colorful garb as she reconnected with gal pal Kelly Osbourne on the red carpet.
Though she's still relatively young in her craft, Kiernan Shipka has seen and experienced a plethora of grand and marvelous things over the years.
Last night (October 20) the 14-year-old actress had the honor of accompanying "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner to the 24th Annual Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame Awards in New York City.
They may not be able to legally purchase alcohol, but the guys and girls on Time's 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014 are making a difference in their world.
Celebrating the up-and-coming stars of Tinseltown, Kiernan Shipka and Natalie Dormer worked their magic at the annual People magazine "Ones To Watch" event in Los Angeles last night (October 9).
The always-adorable "Mad Men" actress smiled for the cameras and mingled with fellow attendees in her blue patterned dress outside The Line venue.
Looking for an excuse to stay up late, a host of beautiful celebrity ladies showed up at the launch of Claiborne Swanson Frank's "Young Hollywood" portrait book, hosted by Michael Kors.
Emmy Rossum, Hailee Steinfeld and Abigail Spencer all rubbed shoulders while working the room and looking fabulous.
It's no secret that stars love swanky soirees and last night (October 1) the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hosted the Hollywood Costume Opening Party in Los Angeles.
Diane Kruger brought her handsome beau Joshua Jackson along for the ride, posing for photos outside the Wilshire May Company Building.
Enjoying a rare treat in the midst of Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week madness, Kiernan Shipka, Uma Thurman and Anna Chlumsky scored primo seats to Zac Posen's unique runway presentation.
It was one part fashion competition and one part star-studded shindig, and Kate Spade Saturday took over The Roof on Wilshire for their fabulous Summer Solstice party.
Actress Camilla Belle donned a Kate Spade Saturday Seamed Dress with a mini satchel and satin brass bangle as she enjoyed the carnival games and gourmet catering.

The West Lothian region
There are so many things to do and see in Edinburgh: the castle, major galleries, the Scott Monument, The Royal yacht Brittania, The Royal Mile, Edinburgh dungeon, Arthur's Seat, The Zoo, not to mention award winning restaurants and bars. Every August millions flock to the city for the The Edinburgh International and Fringe Festival where there are an array of artists, comedians and theatrical performances to choose from everyday. In June The Royal Highland Show (a fantastic four day agricultural event) is held on the outskirts of the city and is a short 15 minute drive from the cottage. The East neuk of Fife with its many galleries, beautiful coves and beaches can be reached within an hour. For golf enthusiasts there are many local courses. St Andrews and Gleneagles are also easily accessible. The Falkirk Wheel is a must see. You can take a boat trip, visit the cafe and childrens playpark.
Goose Cottage allows you to have both a tranquil holiday in the countryside and easy access to explore Scotland's major cities.
The West Lothian region has numerous places of interest to visit, all within easy reach from Goose Cottage so you are sure to find something for everyone to enjoy. There are many areas of historical significance such as Cairnpapple, a prehistoric burial ground, and Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots which has a magnificent lochside location. Hopetoun House also deserves a mention as Scotland's finest stately home set in 150 acres of parkland. The local Country Parks offer great walks in lovely scenery. One of the best is Beecraigs which has a deer park, fishing loch, play park with separate toddler friendly area and extensive woodland. The Almond Valley Heritage Centre is a fantastic day out for the family with a farm, several outdoor and indoor play-areas, train and museum all in one location. For a spot of retail therapy Livingston has a great designer outlet centre called MacArthur Glen. With so many attractions and activities on offer, we hope this is a destination you'll want to return to again and again.

"Stop searching and choose this one....especially if you are a family travelling to Scotland"
The Goose Cottage is a wonderful accommodation in a perfect location. The set-up is simple but very, very comfortable...not an easy feat when you are travelling as a family of four including two tall teenagers that seem to spread out and take over whatever space we seem to visit. :-) The kitchen was well equipped and the the welcome basket was incredible. The cottage is set on a rural farm, and adjoins another building. The small front yard and back yard provide privacy and your own personal space, and looking out over the fields toward Edinburgh was terrific. The location can't be beat because its 20 minutes to Edinburgh (though we'd recommend the train from Uphall as it saves you trying to find parking near the castle when you get there), 35 minutes to Glasgow, within half an hour of Stirling Castle, the Falkirk Wheel, Loch Lomond, Tantallon Castle and a number of other key spots. Drive a little further and you can get to Perth and the hiking that is near there, and a longer drive can be made by heading north to Inverness, then down Loch Ness past Urquart Castle and back home via Glencoe (yes, its a full day but its worth it). All absolutely wonderful and the scenery is spectacular. Unfortunately, Lisa was away whilst we were there and so we did not have the opportunity to meet in person. We did chat over the phone, however, and found her to be friendly and very personable. We look forward to returning again in the future.

"A real home from home"
We loved Goose Cottage. Lisa is an excellent host who lives next door and strikes a great balance of being there when you need help but leaving you to enjoy the cottage too. We had never stayed in such a well appointed holiday cottage which had everything we needed. After a long day sight seeing and visiting with our friends and family, it was a very welcome place. Though it is part of a farm development, it is only 5 minutes to a superstore and the closest train station which is about 20 mins to Edinburgh and 45 mins to Glasgow. We particularly enjoyed the woodburner. We would thoroughly recommend a stay here as a great base for sight seeing central Scotland.
Thank you for taking the time to write the review. I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday at the cottage, yes the woodburner is very popular ! We are fortunate that the surroundings are so peaceful at the steading. I hope that you will consider staying at Goose Cottage in the future.

Excellent place to be, everything you need is provided for, perfectly located for trips, the cottage is very well equipped, was clean, the owners were very nice and prepared to give some extra service. It is really a "home from home" and I will certainly revisit the cottage.

When it comes to tattooing your body, your face is one of the most extreme places that you can have one, and these bold facial tattoos are some great examples of how far some people will go to showcase their devotion to this craft.
Getting a tattoo on your body is a creative outlet for expression and artistic imagery, and the ability to permanently ink an image or phrase on your body is something that will last a lifetime. While most people choose to get a tattoo on a place where they can easily conceal it during working hours, there are some people who are bold enough to get tattoos right on their face, where it cannot be hidden or covered.
From facial tattoos dedicated to a special person to ones that showcase beautifully artistic designs, these over-the-top and striking tattoo creations will definitely set you apart from the crowd.

In his weekly "Stories I'd Like to See" column, journalist and entrepreneur Steven Brill spotlights topics that, in his opinion, have received insufficient media attention. This article was originally published on Reuters.com.
1. An underground economy in the Gulf?
I was interested to read these paragraphs in a recent New York Times story about the processing of claims being made by victims of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico; pay special attention to the part I have underlined:
Glenn Poche, a shrimper, said he had lost 90 percent of his retail business. Despite official assurances that seafood pulled from the Gulf of Mexico is safe, many of his customers "want to wait a couple more years" to be sure .Diane Poche, Glenn Poche's wife, said she had received $30,000 from the fund — "just a little drop in the bucket of what we've lost" — but her claims for more had been refused, she said, her voice rising. "I sent in paperwork over two inches thick!"
In his response, Mr. Feinberg [the celebrated arbitrator hired by British Petroleum to process the claims] said that the Poches' claim was for more than twice the annual gross income Mr. Poche had reported before the oil spill and that Mrs. Poche was listed as a housewife, not a business partner, on the family's tax forms. Mr. Feinberg has said that thousands of claims have been rejected because of inadequate documentation.
So, here's the possible story: Without drawing any conclusions from this brief description of the Poche family's dispute with Mr. Feinberg, it may be that much of the economy in the Gulf—small-business shrimping and other fishing, chartering boats, waiting on tables in restaurants, small retailing—is a cash economy, in which some people may make more money than they report to the IRS.
Comparing claims about lost earnings with what people tell the tax man they earned—which could probably be done on a macro basis using government data about the Gulf economy—might be an eye-opener, as would asking people about possible differences in their claims of lost income versus their reported earnings. So would checking with the IRS to see if it ever compares claims for lost income in tort suits (which are public) with plaintiffs' tax filings.
With that in mind, maybe Times reporter John Schwartz, who wrote this otherwise comprehensive piece, could go back to the Poches and ask them to comment on Mr. Feinberg's response: that he found a 100 percent difference between what the Poches claim they lost and what he says they told the IRS.
2. Romney's prior returns:
Why haven't reporters pushed Mitt Romney to release more than his most recent two years of tax returns? Or at least asked him if he paid more or less than the combined 13.8% he reported paying for those two years when he released his 2010 return? Wouldn't he have released returns for those earlier years if the rate had been higher? Which means that it was likely lower—perhaps much lower—for years when he wasn't thinking about running for president and was probably making more money and taking advantage of the tax breaks available to people with his sources of income.
3. Patent wars:
It seems that every day we read another story about patent litigation threatening to upset some company's marketing of a key product. The most ubiquitous of these stories involve patent wars being fought around the world by heavy hitters like Apple, Google, Samsung, Amazon, and Microsoft. But as this story from PaidContent illustrates, there is patent litigation surrounding almost every high-tech product we use; and, as this article highlights, the plaintiffs are now often investment firms that have been formed for the sole purpose of buying up relatively obscure patents and then suing deep pockets (in this case, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile) for infringing them.
I vaguely remember from law school that you can be sued successfully for infringing a patent even if you didn't know about it, let alone copied it. And I remember that when my partners and I sold our technology company (Press+) last year, the biggest legal hang-up in an otherwise quick and simple deal was over whether we would promise to pay the buyer's legal fees and damages if they were ever sued, even unsuccessfully, for patent infringement. I thought that shouldn't be a problem, because I knew how we had created what we created, but our lawyers told us we couldn't agree to something that broad because they were so many "patent trolls" out there ready to sue anybody for almost anything, especially once a company had succeeded and developed those deep pockets.

Is there a PNG fix for IE that actually works?
Hi guys,
I did a search here but I think my choice of words was too vague.
I have a png problem. I've searched online for many answers, but none of them seem to work, or clearly I'm doing something wrong. I visited a few sites that were using some of the popular alphaloaderthingy, and in IE6, all of their png images showed very ugly black outlines. So basically this tells me that they dont work, OR is this supposed to happen? I'm very confused lol. Are these "png fixes" supposed to make the png show up the way it should in IE6 like it does in FF and IE7? Or do they just give your transparencies those ugly black edges?
here is an image background I'm trying to use, which of course shows up perfectly in the most recent browsers, but in IE6 it fills the empty space with a basic white color, and if I add any of those supposed "fixes", it makes the edges black. which isn't want I want.
any help??

Hi and Welcome to the CodingForums Rachielle,
What outlines do you mean? Can you show us those pages?
Im usually using the CSS filter property to apply a transparent background image to an element. Ive set up a small test page showing it (ignore the quote stuff in the source code, that has been a different test found on mandarindesign.com). And the black outline around the images belong to the images by the way.
Also, Ive recently designed another website using this method (see menu dropdowns). I had some extensive hacking to do in order to get this to work.
Note that IE doesnt apply transparency to an element in the source code but its kinda creating a new secret element with transparency. Theres some interesting reading: http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/tmp/al...nsparency.html
Also note that IE can display transparency but only to a certain extent (percentage). I havent checked in detail but it will just make everything below like 20% opacity (= almost transparent) completely transparent, resulting in a less smooth transition than modern browsers.

I have extremely dry, sensitive skin. I am 80% sure it is the foundation I am using, because all other products I use have something like salicylic acid or are meant to help the skin. This mousse has nothing useful in it. I have no idea what other liquid foundation to go to, now... or if I should switch to powder, instead.
I didn't think I had "break out prone" skin, but trying to find a foundation (switching from mineral powder bc I feel like it dulls complexion) & about everything so far has caused acne. I only wore this the last 2 days & each day have more & more spots. Deeeep painful ones & little white heads also. I have very dry skin & I felt Oily & like I had a mask on. (Which it did help flaky spots a bit) Second day I used just tiny amount thinking it would b better. Nope. I do like the pump, & think it could work for someone else maybe. Maybe in winter it won't effect me as badly.
I was recommended this product by my sister. At the time of my purchase, I was looking for a nice coverage, drugstore foundation. My sister had this item, and she suggested for me to buy it as well. At first, I was very pleased with the product. It came with a pump, which I love because it's very nice and sanitary. The shade matched more or less, and the coverage was medium-thick. After a while, I noticed some acne forming on my forehead. This was my first experience with acne. Me, being the idiot I was, thought it would go away after a while like my other skin blemishes usually did. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it did not. I actually covered it up more with the foundation, making it 100x worse. I finally realized the cause of my acne, and needless to say, I will not be using it again.
Product wise, it is also very thick. This is not something I look for in a makeup product, because I like it to feel very light when I'm wearing makeup. It has very medium coverage, but if you put a tad bit too much, it will look extremely cakey. The other complaint I have about this product is that it comes off very easily. I would dab at my face for a tiny millimeter of a second and a bunch of product would be left on my finger. This foundation is a no go from me.
In my opinion this foundation doesn't provide much coverage at all and it's not buildable with out looking foolish. This hard to find a skin match with the colors they give you to choose from. All the colors are yellow tones to me or pink tones. I don't have anything like that I am a true nude so I don't need anything yellow or pink. Plus the pump on the bottle always breaks!
I bought this a few weeks ago, and i think its awful. Within one night of wearing it, i broke out really bad. Its oily and greasy, and within about 40 minutes your face will look shiny and disgusting. I threw it out the next day. If you have dry skin you might like it, but if your acne prone dont even waste your time. Especially i n summer.
Good product to use if you want natural looking skin with makeup.
it gives me breakouts during summer and clog pores, but in winters its worth using it. if you still want to use it in summer then you need to prime use face before applying it.
I love this foundation it is my 2nd favorite foundation aside from Revlon colour stay, I unfortunatly cannoy wear this foundation durring the summer time with my oily skin so I wear revlon colour stay for the summer time and durring the winter I will switch, depending on how I feel, I have to touch up alot more with this one and it dosent last as long but its alot more lighter feel and comes off easier. And the look is great, I love it. Like I said it really gives a airbrush finish! This and the matte finish powder are great together! And the coverage is amazing!
nice foundation,with good coverage without being cakey.
I'ts a good price for what it does.
If you don't have sensitive skin or excessive scars this is a good product.
