Dear Audience: 'Prometheus' Is About You
Features By Alexander Huls on October 10, 2012 | Comments (17)Astronomical expectations for Prometheus were inevitable. Because, come on, not only did the film mark Ridley Scott's return to the Alien franchise after thirty-three years, but he was specifically returning to make a movie set chronologically before Alien. Scott could hem and haw all he wanted about Prometheus not being a prequel, to varying degrees we all had expectations for what potential answers we'd be given to explain the xenomorphs, the Space Jockey, and the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. While struggling – like many of us – with the taste of disappointment the movie left behind, an idea struck me: Prometheus, as it turns out, knows exactly what it's dealing with. It's no accident that the film's narrative revolves around its central characters seeking answers to questions of origins. Peel away at its corners and it reveals itself to be an inversion of the traditional fan/movie relationship: Prometheus is all about its answer-expecting audience and what it wants and expects from them.
This Week In Discs: Shut Up and Play the Hits with Prometheus, A Cat in Paris, The Wild Geese and The Raven
Features By Rob Hunter on October 9, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In Discs! Hope you have some time cleared on your schedule this week… As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Bedevilled Hae-won leaves the big city on a forced vacation and heads to her childhood home on a remote island, but the years have not been kind to the place or her once best friend, Kim Bok-nam (Seo Yeong-hie). She's little more than an abused workhorse for an ungrateful husband and community of seven, and understandable fears that her daughter may suffer the same fate lead her to beg Hae-won for help. The dangers of isolation, abuse and irresponsibility come home to roost in this darkly menacing and eventually bloody dramatic thriller from South Korea. Part social commentary, part violent and bloody as hell revenge thriller, this was one of my favorites from Fantastic Fest 2010. The extras are sparse, but I highly recommend the making-of doc after watching the movie if only to see Seo smiling along with the other actors in between takes. Also available on DVD.

10 Halloween Costume Ideas Based on Recent Movies
Features By Christopher Campbell on October 7, 2012 | Be the First To CommentContinuing a yearly tradition that began at the defunct movie blog Spout, this is my 5th annual list of mostly original yet highly unlikely Halloween costume ideas. You can take any of these suggestions if you want, especially if you want to avoid having the same outfit as another person at the party you attend, and particularly if you want something that needs a lot of explanation — these tend to be good conversation starters for people looking for excuses to hit on you. Mostly, though, the following ideas are not to be taken too seriously. Some are really just stupid jokes. But they're primarily intended to visually remind us of some of the trends, criticisms, immediate icons and zeitgeist of the past year in film. For instance, last year's "Forrest Gump wearing an X-Men uniform" costume illustrated 2011's penchant for Gump-like revisionist history in blockbuster movies. And back in 2008, there was a costume called "Nuke the Fridge." Sadly, in looking over 2012 for this year's ideas, I realized that it's been a very weak year for movie references worth calling back. Where are this year's "nuke the fridge," Antichrist fox, "Why cookie Rocket?" and "Winklevi"? Before too long, I might need to spin-off a TV version of this tradition to make it easier on me and more interesting to readers. Because we all know film culture is dead anyway, right?
Movie News After Dark: The Presidential Debate, Prometheus Spoilers, Looper Loops and Mad Men
Movie News By Neil Miller on October 3, 2012 | Comments (1)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news column that isn't so political. Unless you consider watching the Presidential Debate and imagining the candidates as Muppets to be political… We begin this evening with the nation's top story — no, not Saturday Night Live — the Presidential Debate. That will undoubtedly be the reason why tonight's column is coming in late. And because I love hyperbole, I'm not only watching the debate, but also reading Andrew Sullivan having an aneurism and watching CNN's talking heads go crazy. Also, someone said Lincoln. That movie is out in November. But enough politics, lets do the movie news…
What is Really the Best Sci-Fi Film Since 'The Matrix'?
Discussion By Christopher Campbell on September 29, 2012 | Comments (9)Rian Johnson's new film, Looper, is a pretty awesome time travel flick, one with as many elements that are clever and original as there are purposefully derivative and influenced. It's the kind of smart and stylish sci-fi cinema we expect every once in a while on the festival circuit, like Sound of My Voice (which hits DVD and Blu-ray this Tuesday), rather than from a major Hollywood studio. Looper does fit the indie model, though, since Sony/Tristar picked it up for distribution only after it was done shooting, yet as Brian's review of the film attests, we can still consider it a good sign for mainstream movies of this genre, and we can hope that Hollywood will see Johnson as the sort of directorial talent they need. But is it the best science fiction film since The Matrix? That's a question posed in a headline from Time magazine yesterday, though its respective post doesn't address such a discussion let alone attempt to answer the inquiry. Well, if we exclude superhero movies, animated features (Pixar, Miyazaki and The Iron Giant among them) and the Star Trek reboot, Looper is currently one of only two original studio films of its order to be battling for the status of best reviewed since the Wachowskis' groundbreaking modern classic. The other is Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men.
Movie News After Dark: Trailer War, Peter Pan On Blu-ray, And Prometheus Cover Art
Movie News By Ryan Gallagher on September 28, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIt has been a real treat, hanging out with you all here on Film School Rejects this week, but today I head back home to CriterionCast.com. I won't be leaving you empty handed, as there have been some excellent links, images and clips going around today that you all should certainly check out.
What is the Meaning of 'The Master'?
Discussion By Christopher Campbell on September 23, 2012 | Comments (16)Now that Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master is in slightly wider release than it was in its opening weekend, perhaps it is time to discuss this period drama, which is perplexing both critics and regular moviegoers alike. More than the fact that a lot of people are now able to finally see the film, the interesting thing is that many have now watched it two or three times (at least) in an attempt to get more out of the thing. Countless reviews have pointed out that The Master is difficult to fully understand on a single viewing, and audiences of all levels of intellect are coming out declaring that they need to see it again. Plenty are doing so, but are they any closer to finding answers? No film requires or should require multiple viewings, and pretty much any film watched more than once can deliver previously unseen pieces and welcome new considerations. But The Master, whether constructed out of certain meaning or, as might be hinted through a significant line from the film, Anderson just made it all up as he went along without too much thought, is the sort of glorious cinema that we look at as a fun puzzle. We can imagine that one day a documentary similar to Room 237 will present obsessive PTA fans over-analyzing everything from the commanding performances to the film's subtler nooks and crannies.
All in all, this was a decent summer. There were plenty of highs and lows, with zero grand achievements for either sides of that scale. We could argue endlessly about what movies lived up to the hype or which ones totally blew it, but where's the fun in having that conversation for the thousandth time over twitter? What we all should be discussing is the important stuff, like, how sad Damon Lindelof's Twitter feed could get this summer or how many ounces of man sweat we think Matthew McConaughey shed in Magic Mike? These are the real topics worthy of discussion, 'cause who cares why Vickers didn't run a few feet to the right to easily save her life in Prometheus? Or how on earth Batman survived that nuclear blast when we clearly saw him in The Bat before the blast? These are details we all need to let go of. What you all really need to know is who came out as the winners and losers of this summer season, and I'm here to tell you who.
"These Open-Ended Stories": Damon Lindelof Glosses Over The Real 'Prometheus' Criticisms
Movie News By Jack Giroux on August 3, 2012 | Comments (5)Simply put, Prometheus is the most divisive film of the summer. The Internet's anticipation had been at an all-time high for years leading up to its release, so when the film didn't end up being "the greatest thing ever!" more than a few people came away disappointed. From a wonky third act to a few head-scratching character decisions, much of the film's problems were laid upon co-writer Damon Lindelof's Twitter feed. In terms of what didn't work, many labeled the movie "Lostian." Now, Lindelof is discussing those issues and critics, with the exception of the ones that actually matter. There's been some legitimate criticisms made over Ridley Scott's return to science fiction, but Lindelof doesn't appear to be all that interested in discussing them…or perhaps no one has simply asked him about them yet. In an interview with the SpeakEasy blog at the Wall Street Journal, Lindelof (kind of) talked about the reception of Prometheus. Unfortunately, he never went beyond declaring the divisiveness a case of "I love ambiguity and you guys just, I dunno, don't!" Even as a big fan of Prometheus who has no problems with the film's ambiguity, Lindelof's stance comes off mildly dismissive of the film's biggest critics.
'Prometheus' Will Fly Again (Though Probably Not Literally) in Upcoming Sequel
In Development By Nathan Adams on August 1, 2012 | Comments (5)One of the biggest complaints people had coming out of Ridley Scott's epic in scope sci-fi spectacle Prometheus was that it raised more questions than it answered. Well, today brings good news for those of you looking for closure. It turns out Scott knew what he was doing all along: he raised a bunch of questions about the origins of humanity, got us on the hook for wanting answers, and now he's going to sell us all tickets to a sequel. Pretty clever, movie industry. Confirmation of a Prometheus 2 comes from THR, who have published a comprehensive look at which of the big movies from this summer are likely to spawn sequels. In addition to the Prometheus confirmation, they reveal that movies like Ted, Magic Mike, American Reunion, and Snow White and the Huntsman are all likely to be given follow-ups as well.
Comic-Con 2012: Friday in Pictures! Toys! Skanks! Lines!
Comic-Con By Robert Fure on July 14, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThis Friday I took a little meander around the Hall early in the morning and snapped some pictures, which turned out to be a secretly and accidentally smart thing to do since I ended up stuck in line for the majority of the day before seeing about three hours of panels. It was the Hall H line from Hell, but that didn't stop us from getting a ton of cool pictures for you to check out. Come on in to the gallery and see some cool stuff from GI Joe, Iron Man, Prometheus, Gremlins, and a very sexy pin-up of our very own Rorschach!
Movie News After Dark: Elysium, The Imposter, The Spider-Man, What is IMAX and There Will Be Scenery
Movie News By Neil Miller on July 6, 2012 | Comments (3)What is Movie News After Dark? After inadvertantly taking the night off last night due to a surprise viewing of the extended cut of Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (all 4 hours and 10 minutes, baby), it's a nightly movie news and notes column and is just here to send you off to your weekend with a few fun reads. That's exactly how many we've got tonight. A few. We begin the evening with a shot of a bald, robotically enhanced Matt Damon in a new shot from Neill Blomkamp's Elysium. For a movie being made with such a low profile, that sure is a big image. A Chem-rail gun (I don't know what that is, but it sounds fun) and some exoskeletal goodness. Plus, Damon is looking quite militant. Here's hoping we get more of this one at Comic-Con next week.
How Unobtrusive 3D Actually Kills 3D Enjoyment
Boiling Point By Robert Fure on June 18, 2012 | Comments (17)3D has long been a viable tool in the filmmaker's arsenal. Sure, it's not a particularly awesome tool, but it can be a fun tool. My first theatrical experience was a neat showing of Night of the Living Dead 3D. I later really appreciated the in your face fun of My Bloody Valentine 3D. I mean, if you're going to do something, you might as well do it, right? Plenty of people hate 3D and await its demise. I have never been one of them, but I'm slowly leaning their direction. I've previously said that one key to 3D remaining viable is to ditch the gigantic, heavy glasses – that's still imperative. I hate those things. But really, I think 3D has to get more aggressive and in your face to justify the film being in 3D. I can't get behind the sentiment that the 3D in Prometheus was good or added more to the experience. The 3D in Prometheus was unobtrusive. I think people liked it merely because it didn't detract from the experience. Is the lack of failure the new marker of success? Not in my book. What does adding 3D do if you're not going to exploit the technology?
Three Books to Impregnate You With 'Alien' Knowledge
Books on Film By Robert Fure on June 18, 2012 | Comments (1)Tired of hearing about Prometheus? If your answer is yes, consider moving on. If you're still coming to grips with the film or if you're a huge fan of the Alien universe, then read on, because we get our dirty little mitts on three books that will take you deeper into the movies than ever before. From Titan Books, Ridley Scott's newest, Prometheus, gets a wonderful hardcover "The Art of the Film" treatment from author Mark Salisbury, while the original film is highlighted in the recently re-published The Book of Alien. Space Marines, form up, as the stars of James Cameron's installment are highlighted in the re-published Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual.
Box Office: 'That's My Boy' and 'Rock of Ages' Fail to Break Wind, Let Alone Defeat 'Madagascar 3′
Box Office By Neil Miller on June 18, 2012 | Comments (1)It wasn't quite the kind of fruitful summer weekend the likes of Adams Shankman and Sandler had hoped for. Running up against a smattering of lackluster reviews and some stiff competition, their films — Rock of Ages and That's My Boy, respectively — failed to gain momentum in their opening weekend, ending with less than stellar results and a few bumps and bruises, thanks to Ridley Scott and some animated jungle creatures.
Movie News After Dark: Send a Raven, Fear V/H/S, Listen to Hans, Elysium and Lego Inception
Movie News By Neil Miller on June 14, 2012 | Comments (2)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a vicious diatribe away from being a vicious diatribe. But mostly it tells you the who, what, where, when and why so serious of the movie world. We begin tonight with a cry for help, from a Mother of Dragons who is without the latter half of her title. Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen needs your help. If you see her dragons, send a raven.
12 Terrific Real Movies Shown In Other Films
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on June 14, 2012 | Comments (11)We rarely get to see movies being watched in other movies – probably because while it's fun to watch films, it's fairly boring to watch other people watch films. That being said – there are plenty of characters out there who would no doubt be a blast to watch movies with… Batman, for example. Anyway, when we do see a real life movie being watched in another movie it tends to be a film that most likely inspired the filmmakers either in their own upbringing or as a plot device in the film itself. Because of that one thing is certain – if you see a real movie being watched in the movie you're watching, there's a good chance that movie is awesome. Before anything though, I gotta shout out to Mr. Cole Abaius for coming up with the idea for this list. The man is a true demigod, and from what I hear the other half is pretty good too.
Movie News After Dark: Turbo Snails, Weeds, Comic-Con, Breaking Bad and Community Megamixin'
Movie News By Neil Miller on June 13, 2012 | Comments (1)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly column about things that you'll probably enjoy. It likes to think that it knows you well enough to pick only the best ingredients. We begin this evening with a look at Dreamworks' Turbo, which may not be entirely new but it's new to me so deal with it. The story follows a Ryan Reynolds voiced snail who dreams of being a racer. The folks over at /Film have a few new looks at advertising art for this, as well as Blue Sky Animation's Epic, which is about people who ride birds or something.
Movie News After Dark: Killing Them Softly, The Dark Knight Rises, Breaking Bad and The Wonder Years
Movie News By Neil Miller on June 12, 2012 | Comments (2)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly column about movies that's been kickin' ass and takin' names since the sun came up, but for some reason it still waited until late at night to bring you all the movie news of the day. It's eccentric like that. We begin tonight with an image of Ben Mendelsohn and Scoot McNairy in Killing Them Softly, Andrew Dominik's new film based on the adaptation of the novel "Cogan's Trade." They are but two of the badass names attached to said project, which includes Brad Pitt, Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta and Sam Shepard, among others. Not bad.
'Prometheus': What Exactly Were We Expecting?
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on June 12, 2012 | Comments (15)For filmgoers frustrated with a visionary filmmaker whose films' quality provided diminishing returns as he became ever more prolific, Prometheus was anticipated as a welcome return to form. For those hungry for R-rated, thinking person's science fiction, Prometheus provided a welcome respite from a summer promising mostly routine franchise continuations. For those who see the 1970s and 1980s as the height of modern Hollywood filmmaking, Prometheus promised a homecoming for a type of blockbuster that was long thought to be dead. Prometheus even beat out The Dark Knight Rises as the most anticipated summer film of 2012 on this very site. But then the reviews came in. And thus began the qualifying, criticizing, parsing out, hyperbolizing, dissecting, backlashing, and disappointed exhaling. There were many responses to Prometheus, but very few of them were the songs of praise that a film this hotly anticipated – and highly desired – by all means should have satisfyingly warranted.

OECD Chief: Large Economies Cannot Afford More Spending
MOSCOW, February 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Angel Gurría, Secretary-General of the OECD discussed pressing economic questions in an exclusive interview with RT. The interview aired in full on February 15, 2013.
Gurría expressed his skepticism regarding the proposed tax on financial transactions, which has been widely discussed in Europe. He noted that "only a few countries will adopt it. And if it's not adopted by all the countries in the world, at least all the countries that do a very important volume of international financial transactions, then it can very easily move to the next country."
Gurría added that there's an uncertainty regarding the purpose that the collected tax would serve: "Do you want it to recover part of the losses incurred by the systems, or do you want to create a fund to be able to face any future crises? Do you want it just for general purposes, for the treasury…is it just one more tax in order to generate more revenue?"
Asked whether in his opinion certain governments are waging currency wars, Gurría affirmed that "there are no currency wars today. We are further away today from a currency war than we were two or three years ago when this phrase was coined…What we have today is a number of countries exploring ways in which they can improve the growth prospects and improve the job creation. Not necessarily manipulating the currency to gain competitiveness at the expense of the next person." He emphasized that improved economic performance of the United States, Europe and Japan will benefit global economy as a whole, but with limited options at their disposal "what we're seeing is that these large economies are looking for ways in which to stimulate growth that's no longer based on more spending, because they cannot afford more spending". Watch the full interview at http://rt.com. RT is a global international news network that broadcasts in English, Arabic and Spanish from its studios in Moscow and Washington, DC, and is available to 630 million viewers worldwide. Pew Research Center's 2012 study named RT, whose YouTube channel has passed 850 million views, as the largest provider of news video footage on the world's largest video sharing platform.

2013 NBA Power Rankings: Spurs, Thunder, Heat on Top; Lakers, Clippers, Mavs Fall
A quick look at the best and worst teams in the NBA.
1. San Antonio Spurs (38-11): The big news in San Antonio currently revolves around the knee sprain suffered by center Tim Duncan Saturday in a win against Washington, but if the NBA has learned anything about the Spurs, it's that there will be someone to step up and replace his production.
2. Miami Heat (30-14): Miami still resides in the basement when it comes to rebounding in this league, but LeBron & Co. lead the Eastern Conference by half a game currently. With this team, one gets the feeling the Heat are coasting through the regular season and will raise their level of play once April rolls around.
3. Oklahoma City Thunder (35-12): OKC took a questionable loss home Saturday in Cleveland, and are 6-4 in their last 10. But the Thunder still reside in West's second-seed and look like one of the West's ultimate contenders as the halfway point has passed.
4. New York Knicks (30-15): The Knicks have won seven of their last 10 games, and lie only half a game behind Miami in the East. In Mike Woodson's first full season the Knicks have evolved into one of the league's better defensive teams, allowing only a shade under 96 ppg.
5. Chicago Bulls (29-18): Even without Derrick Rose, Chicago is still one of the Association's premier defensive squads with opponents scoring just under 91 ppg. And with Rose getting closer to returning with every day that passes, the Bulls will likely be one of the league's scariest teams heading into the postseason.
6. Los Angeles Clippers (34-15): Trouble with injuries lately have the Clippers winning only four of their last 10 contests, with superstar point guard Chris Paul still unable to even practice because of a knee injury.
Looking Good
7. Memphis Grizzlies (30-16): Memphis pulled off a shocker, sending Rudy Gay out of town and bringing in Tayshaun Prince, Austin Daye, and Ed Davis. In the first game since, the Grizzlies pulled out a nine-point victory at home against Washington.
8. Denver Nuggets (30-18): Denver's high-octane style of play has kicked into another gear lately, as the Nugs have won eight of their last 10. Denver currently ranks in the Top 5 among all teams in scoring, rebounding, and assists per game.
9. Brooklyn Nets (28-19): Brooklyn picked up one of its best wins of the season Friday, beating Chicago 93-89. The Nets haven't scored as much as people thought they would with the additions of Deron Williams and Joe Johnson, but Brooklyn ranks fifth in defense giving up under 95 ppg.
10. Indiana Pacers (28-19): Another team hitting its stride, the Pacers also won a signature game by taking out Miami by double-digits. Indiana will face a crucial contest Monday with a game against Chicago, with whom the Pacers trail by one game for the Central Division's lead.
11. Golden State Warriors (30-17): The young Warriors are holding fast in the West and are getting better with the return of Andrew Bogut to anchor the team in the paint alongside All-Star David Lee. Lately, the Dubs have won seven of their past 10 and are only three games behind the Clippers for the Pacific Division lead.
Looking Average
12. Utah Jazz (26-22): Utah has continued to race with those vying for one of the West's lower playoff spots, winning seven of 10 to stay strong in the seventh slot. Offensively, the Jazz are scoring as a team with an average of 23 apg and scoring 98 ppg.
13. Milwaukee Bucks (25-21): Very few have heard of what Milwaukee is doing, but the Bucks are playing solid basketball that should carry them into a playoff berth. Brandon Jennings have developed into the facilitator his team needed, scoring 19 ppg and handing out 6 apg.
14. Houston Rockets (26-23): Houston is scoring a lot, and letting its opponents score a lot. So far, it's working with Houston sitting in eighth place in the West albeit by only a single game.
15. Atlanta Hawks (26-20): Atlanta is another team you won't hear much about, but is getting it done. Saturday, however, the Hawks took a 17-point loss to the Bulls on the chin—an example of a team they'll need to beat if Atlanta hopes to break into the upper echelon of Eastern Conference contenders.
16. Boston Celtics (24-23): The loss of Rajon Rondo will undoubtedly hurt the Celtics in the second half of the season, but Boston will play as if no one told them that. In the first game Rondo missed with a torn ACL, Paul Pierce led the Celtics to a double-overtime victory over the Heat Sunday.
17. Portland Trail Blazers (24-23): Portland sits a single game out of the eight-seed right now, but will need to avoid such losing streaks as the six-game skid the Blazers endured in the middle of January if they hope to climb into the playoffs.
18. Los Angeles Lakers (22-26): Just as soon as the Lakers show signs that they've seemingly figured things out, all signs go out the window such as the double-digit lead Los Angeles blew Friday in the first game of its "Grammy Trip" in Phoenix. Of hope for Laker fans, the efficient facilitation Kobe Bryant has showed off lately could be a huge key in gelling the Lakers talented roster.
19. Dallas Mavericks (20-27): The return of Dirk Nowitzki from injury hasn't appeared to breathe life into the Mavericks as fans likely hoped it would. Dallas remains five games out of a playoff spot, and will need a hot start to its final 35 games to maintain hopes of postseason play alive.
20. Philadelphia 76ers (20-26): Philly needs Andrew Bynum's return to the lineup sooner rather than later in hopes he can bring some life into a team that seems to be fading from the East's playoff race despite the brilliance of Jrue Holiday and his averages of 19 ppg and 9 apg.
21. Cleveland Cavaliers (14-34): It's crazy, but Cleveland is .500 in its last 10 games with the highlight coming in a 115-110 win over Oklahoma City Saturday night. Kyrie Irving continues to put together a stellar sophomore campaign, putting up 24 ppg and over 5 apg.
Looking Bad
22. Detroit Pistons (18-30): Detroit almost pulled out a double-digit comeback win over the Lakers Sunday, but was unable to finish it off. Andre Drummond has been giving plenty of glimpses into what his future could be in Detroit, most notably with an 18-point, 18-rebound game against Milwaukee earlier in the week.
23. Toronto Raptors (17-31): Rudy Gay's arrival in Toronto started with a bang with Gay scoring 20 points off the bench to guide the Raptors over the Clippers this week and scored 29 Sunday in a loss to Miami.
24. Phoenix Suns (16-32): The Suns delivered a comeback win over Los Angeles Friday, but were then beaten by 20 against Golden State Saturday. Phoenix has won only four of its last 10 match-ups, and will likely start looking toward next season especially with the trade deadline approaching.
25. Minnesota Timberwolves (18-26): Minnesota's really just been dealt the worst possible hand it could've been given this season with injuries to Rubio and Love to start the season, and Love going down yet again. Minnesota is fading fast, having lost eight of its last 10.
Looking Terrible
26. New Orleans Hornets (15-33): Another team to almost come back from a double-digit deficit against the Lakers this past week, the Hornets have been showing signs of what the future will hold when they morph into Pelicans. But that's still the future.
27. Sacramento Kings (17-32): Amongst the backdrop of the wheeling and dealing occurring to move the Kings to Seattle, the Kings are not helping Mayor Kevin Johnson's case to keep them in Sacramento with their current level of play. Sacramento has lost eight of its last 10, and owns the league's worst defense by allowing over 103 ppg to its opposition.
28. Washington Wizards (11-35): With the return of John Wall, the Wizards have shown some signs of life with wins over teams like Chicago, Portland, and Denver. Washington also gives encouragement for its fans with the defense its played this season, coming in eighth allowing a hair under 96 ppg.
29. Charlotte Bobcats (14-33): The Bobcats remain tied in the league's cellar with Washington, but for once it's safe to say the Bobcats haven't been the worst team in the league of late even though they lost eight of their last 10.
30. Orlando Magic (14-33): Orlando's playing like the team most expected it to when it received just about nothing in return for Dwight Howard, relatively. Orlando has only won once in its past 10 games. On the bright side, Nik Vucevic is making a case for Most Improved Player with 12 ppg and 11 rpg.

Source: Rams, Rob Chudzinski to talk
The St. Louis Rams are scheduled to interview Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski for their head coaching vacancy Thursday, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
NFC West Blog
ESPN.com's Mike Sando writes about all things NFC West in his division blog.
St. Louis also plan to interview New Orleans Saints assistant coach Aaron Kromer on Friday, league sources said.
The Rams also have interviewed Jeff Fisher, who's expected to choose this week between St. Louis and the Miami Dolphins.
Chudzinski interviewed for the Jaguars' head coaching job, but lost out to Mike Mularkey, whose hiring was announced Tuesday night.
Under Chudzinski, the Panthers finished seventh in the league on offense while setting a franchise record for total yards in a season. The Panthers scored 47 touchdowns.
The Rams fired coach Steve Spagnuolo after finishing 2-14 in 2011.

Match Preview
Warnock eyes first Cottage victory QPR boss Neil Warnock has declared he finally has a team capable of ending his Craven Cottage hoodoo ahead of Sunday's west London derby. Rangers make the short trip to Fulham this weekend for the first ever top-flight meeting between the neighbours, who have only squared off 27 times in more than a 100 years. Fifteen of those games have come at Craven Cottage, a stadium Warnock has visited himself eight times as a player and manager. The 62-year-old has never won there but he believes his star-studded Rangers side are ready to change that in Sunday's Barclays Premier League clash. Warnock, who led QPR to the npower Championship title last season, said: "Last year, we broke one or two bad omens. "I've definitely never been to Fulham with a team like this." QPR are four points and seven places better off than winless Fulham, and Warnock added: "I can't see us not performing. "It'll be a good game because I think Fulham are a good team. "I think they're in a false position as well. "They'll be desperate to get a win over us and, likewise, I'm sure our fans are looking forward to it. "Chelsea coming up as well - it's fabulous for the supporters to have local derbies like that in London." This season's QPR-Fulham games could be among the last to be played at Craven Cottage and Loftus Road, amid reports of the two clubs sharing a new stadium. Warnock said: "It's only a matter of time before both stadiums are bulldozed, unfortunately, because no clubs playing at the level that they're playing at can sustain that. "So I think it's something that'll be talked about." QPR defender Armand Traore is supended for the derby clash following his red card against Aston Villa last weekend. Danny Gabbidon (knee) looks certain to miss out again while the game comes soon for the returning Jamie Mackie (broken leg). Fulham have received a huge boost ahead of the encounter with the news forwards Bobby Zamora and Mousa Dembele are both available after recovering from illness. The Cottagers will give Aaron Hughes (knee) a fitness test while Matthew Briggs (ankle) is also a doubt. Fulham boss Martin Jol is not worried by his side`s winless start to the season and is convinced they will start climbing the Premier League table once they improve their goalscoring form. Fulham are hovering just above the relegation zone after failing to win any of their opening six league games. Jol's men are currently the only top-flight side yet to win this term, but they have picked up four points thanks to draws against West Brom, Chelsea, Manchester City and Blackburn. Thursday night's 2-0 win against Odense BK in Denmark has left the Cottagers boss in an upbeat mood ahead of Sunday's west London derby and he is convinced his team will start winning league games soon. Speaking on Friday, an upbeat Jol said: "Today is great. We have sunny weather, it's a nice atmosphere in Fulham, the people are relaxed and we had a nice win (against Odense). Life is great. I'm totally enjoying it "I don't think there is a big concern because we have got a lot of draws and we should have won two or three games. "It's not a disaster. We have had five draws on the trot and we could have win three easily." One glance at the table reveals the reason behind Fulham's poor start to the season - a lack of goals. Jol's men have scored a measly four times in the league this term. Andrew Johnson is the only marksman who has scored on a regular basis, but each of his six goals have come in the Europa League. Johnson scored both goals in Thursday night's win and Jol now hopes others can repeat his efforts in the league. "Last week at West Brom in the first half we had 60% possession away from home and we created four or five chances but we couldn't put them away," Jol continued. "That's probably the biggest worry. "The only thing is that you have to score goals. "That didn't happen so there is no real place for concern but we need the players to put the ball away. "Andy Johnson solved that on Thursday so hopefully other players will do the same in the future." Aiming to score goals for the opposition on Sunday will be a man who Jol knows well - Adel Taarabt. Taarabt was coming through the ranks at Tottenham while Jol was manager at White Hart Lane. "He is capable of doing anything in the game and if you are looking for a number 10 then he is a number 10," Jol said. end

Match Report
Johnson treble seals Cottagers win Andrew Johnson's hat-trick helped Fulham secure their first Barclays Premier League win of the season in resounding fashion as they thrashed west London rivals QPR 6-0. While some feared the Cottagers may struggle with a hangover from their midweek European exertions, they impressed from the offset and dominated throughout against their neighbours from less than three miles up the road. Johnson handed the home side the lead after just 79 seconds and their strong start continued when Danny Murphy slotted home from the spot midway through the first period. QPR looked poor in the rivals' first meeting since 2001 and hopes of securing their first win over Fulham since 1983 were all-but curtailed just before the break when Johnson tucked away his second of the afternoon. The 30-year-old ensured he would leave Craven Cottage with the matchball in the 60th minute when latching onto Murphy's quick free-kick, before Clint Dempsey and Bobby Zamora wrapped up the 6-0 rout. The London derby started at ferocious pace, with Shaun Wright-Phillips' curled 20-yard effort forcing Mark Schwarzer to save within the opening minute. Fulham immediately launched an attack at the other end and broke the deadlock. Moussa Dembele played a neat one-two with Zamora before unleashing a fierce drive that Paddy Kenny could only parry onto Johnson, who finished with ease. The rapid start to the match continued and the Cottagers came close to doubling their lead immediately afterwards as Fitz Hall almost flicked into his own net from Dempsey's squared ball. The United States international then saw a goalbound effort blocked by a last-gasp challenge by Bradley Orr and, as the home side's onslaught continued, Johnson came agonisingly close to netting his second of the afternoon after firing a volley inches wide from a Zamora header in the 17th minute. However, Fulham did not have to wait long to score their second as Kenny upended Johnson in the box and referee Andre Marriner awarded a 20th-minute penalty, which skipper Murphy duly converted. The Hoops were struggling to cope with the home side's attack-minded philosophy and unable to turn their fleeting attacks into goal-scoring opportunities. Fulham, meanwhile, showed no signs of a post-Europa League hangover and looked impressive in attack, with Steve Sidwell coming close in the 37th minute. And just one minute later, Jol's side grabbed a third of the afternoon as Johnson turned home Zamora's cross after keeping a cool a head during a melee in the box. QPR looked shell-shocked as they trudged off at the break and came out with two new faces as DJ Campbell and Tommy Smith replaced Adel Taarabt and Shaun Derry. Warnock's attempts to gee up his side looked to be working at the start of the second period, with both Wright-Phillips and Alejandro Faurlin getting away shots. However, Fulham were soon back in their stride and Kenny was forced to acrobatically save a Zamora effort in the 58th minute. Sidwell had another attempt from the resulting corner and moments later Johnson ensured he would leave Craven Cottage with the matchball when he latched onto Murphy's quick free-kick. Fulham did not rest on their laurels, though, and after Zamora fired just wide, the striker laid the ball off to Dempsey to make it 5-0 with an exquisite finish. QPR's first top-flight match against Fulham got even worse in the 74th minute when Zamora was rewarded for an industrious performance with a deserved goal, slotting home past a hapless Kenny. The only moment of joy for 3,000-odd visiting fans came just before Zamora's goal as they welcomed back striker Jamie Mackie, who came off the bench for the first time since suffering a double leg break in an FA Cup tie with Blackburn in January. The former Plymouth striker skewed a shot wide as the game came to a close, while at the other end fellow substitute Bryan Ruiz saw an angle drive fly just wide before Marriner called time.

Video: Crazed naked man streaks before assaulting cop
The man reportedly choked a man with a metal bar, and tried forcing a man from his truck before being subdued
By Rachel Quigley
The Daily Mail
INDIANAPOLIS — A naked man stormed an energy plant, struck a worker in the face then tried to choke him with a metal pipe. The surprising attack came after the same man streaked across Indianapolis at 8am on Wednesday morning, hijacked a truck, assaulted the driver and punched a police officer in the face.
Police in Indiana took Gilbert S. Sweazey, 36, into custody after a lengthy chase across state property and city sidewalks for several blocks, court documents said. The suspect did not heed officers' commands to stop, and eventually ran into traffic, scaring motorists. He then tried to hitch a ride with several people.
The 36-year-old then tried to hijack a Chevy pick-up truck by jumping into the passenger seat and trying to force the driver out. But the truck owner fought the man until police officers arrived and tried to arrest him. When they tried to grab Sweazey, he punched the police officer in the face before he was pepper sprayed.

Is a 5:40 ADR at Flying Fish too late to make it back to DHS to see Fantasmic?
I wanted to make some last minute changes and I am trying to work with what I have. I would appreciate your opinion!
Poohs Pal
I am not sure what time Fantasmic starts but you will need to arrive early. I love Flying Fish and try to go every visit. With an early reservation you should not have to stand around and wait to be seated. Just arrive 10-15 minutes early. Dining there can take an hour or more from being seated to paying your bill and that is if you are lucky. Then you have to hop a boat over to DHS and walk over to Fanatasmic. I would say you could be 2-3 hours from the time you check in at Flying Fish podiumn until you are seated at Fantasmic. If I had a 5:40 reservation I would hope Fantasmic did not start before 8 or 8:30pm so I did not feel rushed. Susan
I agree, it depends on what time Fatnasmic Starts. Now that they have so few showings, you want to be in line no later than 90 minutes before it starts.
Dining at a popular time at Flying Fish, you could end up waiting to be seated, so allow 10 minutes after ADR time as your planned 'seating' time.
Dinner takes about 1.5-2 hours to enjoy the experience and not feel rushed.
You also need time to get to DHS, I think it's about a half hour walk from there, but I'd double check on the Transportation board to be sure (if nobody chimes in who has done the walk and gives you the info :) )
Using this formula with a 9:00 Fantasmic you'll be ok. Anything earlier and you'll be pushing it IMO.

BEIRUT a** Hezbollah's leader has lashed out at U.S. President Barack
Obama, saying the U.S. and Israel have the same goals.
Sheik Hassan Nasrallah spoke Wednesday on "Liberation Day," which marks
the withdrawal of the Israeli army from southern Lebanon in 2000.
He said both Obama and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu have dealt a
"mortal blow" to the peace process.
Obama last week endorsed a return to Israel's pre-1967 borders, along with
mutually agreed-to land swaps, as the starting point for peace talks with
Palestinians. That stance initially angered Israel, although nerves have
calmed as Obama emphasized that his position reflected the stances of
previous U.S. administrations

unless you find your 'perfect match' in every way imaginable, shouldn't any knife be expendable? i'm still in search of my holy grail. sure i've found a few that i think is great most of the way, but that last 1 or 2 attributes counts for A LOT at this end of the spectrum. i imagine a highly specific full on custom is the only way to achieve such a thing. my most recent is a semi-custom takeda, i'm thinking i may need a second custom from another maker to handle heavier tasks.
any gifted knives should not be involved in the discussion as that goes without saying not to let go of unless regifting elsewhere.

S'mores For Girl Scouts' 100th Birthday
By Zoe Rogers
"Juliette 'Daisy' Gordon Low assembled 18 girls from Savannah, Georgia, on March 12, 1912, for a local Girl Scout meeting. She believed that all girls should be given the opportunity to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually."
The Girl Scouts' 100 birthday is this month — March 12, 2012! The recipe for "S'mores" has been around for at least 85 years, and was first published in 1927 in a Girl Scout handbook!
This warm, melted, gooey delight, for an eat-with-your-hands experience is a camping standby and Girl Scout classic made from two graham crackers, a piece of chocolate, and a marshmallow which is roasted over a campfire. It was named a "S'more" because it's so yummy you will want "Some More!" For The Love of Caesar: 10 New Ways
The tremendous popularity of this trinity of flavors is undeniable — we live in a world of S'mores galore: myriad S'mores' spins which I call "Gourmet S'mores" are ingredient variations of the traditional recipe — such as adding fresh strawberries or caramelized bananas, or swapping the chocolate for caramel-filled chocolate or mint chocolate, to name but a few.
Nowadays this retro recipe even takes on entirely different forms, tricked-up versions where the three-ingredient-classic is a muse to cakes, brownies, ice cream, popcorn, muffins, cheesecake, pudding, pancakes, fudge, and the list goes on! You can even get a cup of S'mores Coffee and a S'mores Doughnut to go with it. Top 5 Aphrodisiacs To Ignite Lust In Your Man!
In honor of the Girl Scouts' 100th Birthday celebration and girlhood nostalgia for all of us, even those of us who weren't a Girl Scout, but have a fun-loving and young-at-heart inner Girl Scout, and in tribute to S'mores, I created these DIY Graham Crackers. That's right, a recipe for scrumptious "Homemade Graham Crackers" which are healthier for you than commercial graham crackers and a cinch to make with this recipe. Use these "Homemade Graham Crackers" for your S'mores and you'll definitely be asking for Some More!
Homemade Graham Crackers
Graham Crackers are made with graham flour, but that can be difficult to obtain, so I created a recipe which gives you a similar texture, with a flavor that surpasses any you've ever tasted. Do You Love Shamrock Shakes?
Makes a Baker's Dozen — 13 (5 inches by 2½ inches) Graham Crackers
— 1¾ cups all-purpose flour, plus extra to lightly flour the work surface
— ¾ cup whole wheat flour
— ½ cup firmly-packed dark brown sugar
— ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
— 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and finely diced
— 2 tablespoons molasses
— 2 tablespoons honey
1. Sift together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, dark brown sugar, and cinnamon into a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
2. Place the butter, molasses, and honey in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat just until combined, about 1 minute.

You have got this wrong.
By "diesel electric" you are referring to a power system that has a generator, an electrical power line, and a remote motor. The reason why they do this is to avoid the mechanical engineering involved in coupling a big motor to a big prop. Also, the generator serves a power for the ship also, BUT IT IS RUNNING ALL THE TIME!!!! Diesel electric trains do it too, and for reasons of coupling also, particularly with multiple drive wheels on the loco.
What they are referring to is... and I quote...
"Picture yourself in pristine lagoons and allow the power of the sun, tides and wind to replenish your cruising. Motor away from distant fuel docks of unknown diesel quality without bating an eye. Remove your portion from our oil burden while silently cruising into distant harbors. Live the Solidnav shift, change your world. "
This is charging a battery, then running constant loss on the battery, and no-doubt having to compete with the sort of energy delivery I calculated.
Is that what you mean by "diesel electric"? ...because that is not what ships have and not what trains have.
Where does the energy I describe come from?... does anyone plan to store even a fraction of that in a battery bank???. How far would you get before you have to start the diesel to drive the prop. When you do, you would be much better to save energy a-plenty by joining the prop to the motor by a shaft and dump the generator, cabling, and motor.
There is just not enough energy stored in the battery bank, this side of sanity.
For a submarine submerged it can work for a while... another type of "diesel-electric"... but have you ever seen the battery bank on one of those beasts?

Top Twenty Twitter Reactions to the Colorado Purge Hoax
Purge: Anarchy, the sequel to the surprise horror hit from last year, arrived in theaters last month, and at this point, it's pretty much run its course. But rumors of a real-life Colorado Purge beginning at 6:30 p.m. on September 6 -- during which, presumably, laws would be suspended for twelve hours, making all crimes legal -- are heating up, with old-school media outlets reporting about what is clearly a ham-handed social-media hoax. But the Twitter reactions are mighty entertaining anyhow. Count down our photo-illustrated top twenty favorite Twitter reactions below.One of the images circulating through new and old media.

Chrissy Amphlett, lead singer of the Divinyls, has passed away. She was diagnosed with both breast cancer and multiple sclerosis. She was 53. According to a statement released by her husband, she passed gently, in her sleep and was surrounded by her close friends and family.
She was best known for the 1991 hit single, "I Touch Myself." The band released six albums before splitting in 1997. The band later re-formed in the early 2000s.
Amphlett was known as a vocal advocate for self-examinations, even relating the bands hit single back to self breast examinations and early detection. She remained positive and optimistic after her 2007 diagnosis of multiple sclerosis and even after her 2010 breast cancer diagnosis. Let's remember this amazing singer and her outspoken strength and kickass outlook.

I have an aftermarket type slide out trash bin in a regular cabinet. I need a way to open the door (which is the type that is not inset, whatever that is called) with my foot. I'm pretty talented with my toes, if I do say so myself, but I can't squeeze them in between the door and the frame of the cabinet, and I really don't want to use my toes on the regular knob. I thought about using a finger pull type like the one linked and install it on the bottom of the door, but it has sharp corners and I am worried about people somehow smacking their ankles on it. I prefer one that doesn't require drilling into the outside part of the door and so far this is the only one I've seen that installs on the inside. Any other ideas? |

Use a touch latch. |
Wouldn't a touch latch keep the door from being all the way closed though? Since there will be trash in there, I want to to not have a gap. |

By touch latch do you mean the type where you bump it and it opens? If so my friend has one and the cabinet does stay completely closed until you bump it. |
It took a long time for 2 different workers to figure out how to get it working and it isn't perfect, but I had the utrusta from Ikea installed on my trash pullout and I love it. That and tapmaster at my prep sink are probably my favorite things, and I never would've heard of them if not for gw. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Sat, Sep 14, 13 at 9:26
You would have to drill but why not a small C-shape pull or cup pull? They are rounded, and you could get your toe in it. You could even get a wooden one and paint or stain to match the cabinets to blend it a bit. Still visible, but sometime function trumps the rest. I actually just keep a piece of paper towel handy to open doors and drawers if I am going to get my hands dirty. |
"Wouldn't a touch latch keep the door from being all the way closed though? Since there will be trash in there, I want to to not have a gap." "By touch latch do you mean the type where you bump it and it opens? If so my friend has one and the cabinet does stay completely closed until you bump it." Exactly! |
I'll look for a touch latch and see if it would work. In my mind, you have to push the door to activate the touch latch and if you're pushing the door, it must not be all the way closed. Isn't that how it would be? If the door is all the way closed, it can't possibly be pushed. So that's why I'm confused. |

No, it's not quite like that. I couldn't find the regular (non-electric) Utrusta mentioned above on the US ikea site right now (which doesn't mean it's not available), but they also have a heavy-duty electrical version now, specifically meant for heavy trash pullouts. No idea of how well it works--don't know anyone who has it yet. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Electrical Utrusta for trash pullouts
I looked too but I don't have a way to plug an opener in under this cabinet. |
- Posted by writersblock (My Page) on Sat, Sep 14, 13 at 14:21
I know they sell the regular non-electric push latches, since that's the only way to open their Besta series wall unit components. They're just not on the website at the moment (common in ikea-land). |
I'll look again later. There's no store here so I can only order ikea stuff online. |
I think the Ikea Besta Push Latch is what writersblock (in an eponymous moment perhaps? ;) ) was trying to think of. I have this latch installed on my recycling pullout under the sink and it works very well. I have "old school" partial overlay doors with exposed hinges so I left on the hinges but just took out the screws. I installed the Besta on the floor of the cabinet since there was room next to the recycling pullout. I often use my toe (shod or not) to push on the spot where I know the latch is, and the door pops open a couple inches; enough room to get my toe, hand, or recycling object inserted to pull open the pull-out. hth |

Yes, that's it. It was called UTRUSTA a couple of months ago. (I've been looking at them as a possibility for vanity drawers.) It's interesting they changed the name, since now they use Utrusta in Europe as the category name for all the hardware for the new Metod kitchen cabinets. The push latch looks identical, only it's all white in the new line. |

You can measure the off-set with an automotive feeler gauge. If you have felt felt bumper pads as silencers on the doors and drawers, you won't notice any increase in separation. |

Proposed Bill Requires Drug Tests for Lawmakers, Welfare Recipients
A new bill could require both lawmakers and those who receive welfare to take random drug tests. State Rep. Bill Mitchell is introducing a bill to require the testing.
Several other states already require those on welfare to take drug tests. Mitchell hopes forcing lawmakers themselves to take drug tests as a condition for running for office will show voters they don't receive special treatment.
"A lot of the times and sometimes justly, people accuse the General Assembly of being hypocritical," Mitchell said. "This legislation, I wanted to focus on, 'Okay, you can't accuse me of asking a certain segment of society to do something that I am not willing to do."
Mitchell said he has already received support from the community on the proposal. The bill is currently waiting to be heard in committee. Lawmakers are scheduled to return to the Capitol over the next two weeks

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine have discovered how the mutated huntingtin gene acts on the nervous system to create the devastation of Huntington's disease. The report of their findings is available in Nature Neuroscience online.
The researchers were able to show that the mutated huntingtin gene activates a particular enzyme, called JNK3, which is expressed only in neurons and, further, to show what effect activation of that enzyme has on neuron function.
Huntington's disease is an adult onset neurodegenerative disease marked by progressive mental and physical deterioration. It has been known for more than a decade that everyone who develops the disease has mutations in a particular gene, called huntingtin, according to Scott Brady, professor and head of anatomy and cell biology at the UIC College of Medicine.
"There are several puzzling aspects of this disease," said Brady, who is co-principal investigator on the study. "First, the mutation is there from day one. How is it that people are born with a perfectly functioning nervous system, despite the mutation, but as they grow up into their 30s and 40s they start to develop these debilitating symptoms? We need to understand why the protein is bad at 40 but it wasn't bad at 4."
The second problem, according to Brady, is that the gene is expressed not just in the nervous system but in other parts of the body. However, the only part of the body that is affected is the nervous system. Why are neurons being affected?
Brady, Gerardo Morfini, assistant professor of anatomy and cell biology at UIC and co-principal investigator of the study, and their colleagues began looking for a mechanism that could explain all the pieces of the puzzle. They found that at extremely low concentrations, huntingtin was a potent inhibitor of axonal transport, the system within the neuron that shuttles proteins from the cell body where they are

This is by far my favourite eyeliner EVER! When I bought this, my goal was to find an eyeliner that could look like a liquid or pencil and this one does just that. If you apply more, it will look like liquid liner if you apply it appropriately. But if you use a lighter hand, it will be a lot more subtle and blended (great for everyday wear). The lasting power is SO much better than all the pencil liners I've ever tried but my eyelids are oily so it does tend to smudge just a little bit but not bad enough to make me look like a silly racoon. I've used this for about 4-5 months now and it's just perfect everytime. I recommend tossing out the brush they give you though, that thing is horrendous to use. I just use the flat eyeliner brush from my kirkland makeup brush set from costco and it makes beautiful lines everytime. It also lasts FOREVER! I don't think I'll ever use it up.. so far i'm still not even past the top part of the jar and there are still some smooth parts that look untouched.
Great product, much better than pencils or liquid (even though I was a pro at this). PERFECT for lower lashes. I have not used the brush that came with, I use the angled Clinique brush from their line. I wear contacts, have not had a problem smearing, smudging, etc. Lasts all day, and all night, through aerobics, dance clubs, etc. Like the pot because I use the brush (I used to dab out the liquid onto my hand, and would have brown and black spots...lol). I am looking to get the black for going out next! Brown is perfect for me, even at law school is natural enough.
I was surprise I actually liked this one more than the other expensive brands. It came with a brush and glides on smoothly. Creamy texture yet it dries quickly. If I made a mistake a quick rub and it will come off before it dries. No tugging like pencils or streaks like liquid liners. I liked this color more than the true black because it's looked more natural with my Asian eyes.
Best eyeliner I have ever used! I own the Deep Brown and the Chocolate Luster and both are fantastic!!!
I have tried Smashbox and tossed it after trying and trying to use it. It just goes away after a few hours and it takes forever to dry.
The staying power of this Clinque is awesome and I have never had any problems with it smudging and I have oily skin and eyes as well.
The brush works just great for me, I just make sure to clean it (as I do with all of my make-up brushes) about 1x a week.
Overall I would buy it again and again...for $14 it is worth it, plus it lasts FOREVER!!!!!
Absolutely love this cream liner. It stays on all day without smudging or creasing. It takes a little practice to learn to apply but once you have mastered the technique this stuff totally rocks. I happen to like the brush that comes with this. I am able to get very close to my upper lash line which makes my lashes look fuller. This dries quick so have a dampened q-tip handy to fix any errors. Paraben free. Update: I am adding another lippie because this is the perfect cream liner.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this so far! I have only used it twice but it survived multiple contact lens changes and tearing up (I had an eye exam). I only gave it a 4/5 because I've only used it twice and because I found it a bit hard to work with which I think is most likely due to inexperience.
So far I love this stuff. It's hard to use but once it's mastered I think it's the last liner you'll ever need.
At first I gave up and returned it, but I repurchased it thinking I'd give it another shot after my pencils just didn't cut it for me. With a liner brush from MAC this is great.
I was looking for a dark brown, sort of a blackbrown which this is. The last power is good for on the eyelid, but it lasted about 5 minutes on my waterline. I usally use Bobbi Brown's gel liner which last all day on the waterline, no budging or smudging. So a bit disappointed from that perspective but works really well on the upper eyelid.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
LOVING IT!!!!! This is my new go to liner! I'm throwing the rest away! Read alot of reviews that didn't like the brush but it works for me. This liner has great staying power, no smudging or smearing through out the day, and I found it much easier to apply that some of the others out there. I'd tried Smashbox and was really turned off to cream liners but though what the heck I'll give it a try because pencil liners just never seemed dark enough on me and liquid is just to hard to use. Now, I'm hooked! I'll never buy another pencil again! Girls ya gotta try it!
The color is a very rich dark brown and glides on easily and evenly. It's an excellent color choice if you still want a dark line that is not harsh black.
I actually like the brush that comes with it - just remember to clean it every time after you use it or the leftover liner on it will harden and make the brush stiff. I have oily eyelids and the staying power is very good if your line is sharp. If you smudge the line, it'll start to fade out in half a day.
You need very little product for each use, so the container will proabbly last a whole year.

Leading makers of OTC medicines working to raise awareness of this need among parents, healthcare professionals
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A government report published today by the journal Pediatrics shows that the number of emergency room visits by children attributable to pediatric over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription cough and cold medicines are rare -- and of these visits, a vast majority were to due to accidental ingestion. The review was prepared by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Linda A. Suydam, president, Consumer Healthcare Products Association, commented on the analysis, stating: "This CDC review puts the overall discussion of pediatric cough and cold remedies into perspective by focusing on concrete data that address the real issue. These medicines are safe when used as directed, and this government review underscores the importance of educating consumers -- especially those with small children -- on the safe use and safekeeping of medicine."
CHPA has been working to educate consumers that safe use and safekeeping of all medicines can be critical in preventing adverse events. "Safety and the safe use of our medicines are our top priority, so it is important that we understand the root causes of any adverse event, and raise awareness about storing medicines safely out of the reach of children," said Suydam.
According to the CDC report, unsupervised ingestions of either
prescription or OTC cough and cold medicines account for two-thirds of
emergency department visits related to OTC and prescription cough and cold
medicines. This examination of emergency room data reinforces and further
validates nationwide poison control data. An independent analysis of the
American Association of Poison Control Centers' database also demonstrates
that accidental ingestion by children ages 2-5 accounts for two-thirds of
non-fatal adverse events. Richard Dart, M.D., director, Rocky Mounta

Flashlights are another camping staple. Bring multiple flashlights and extra batteries, and also consider buying a camping lantern. Lanterns are great because they shed more light in all directions, and they stand on their own so that you can play cards or board games at night.
Get ready for pesky moths and bugs to be attracted to the light, though. Try to turn off your flashlight before you enter your tent and zip the tent closed before turning the light back on to keep out bugs.

Jury deliberates in child murder trial
Following closing arguments Monday, the jury began deliberating around 2 p.m. Thirty minutes later jurors returned to the courtroom requesting a copy of the elements of each charge in the case - a request the judge could not allow under the law. Later, the jury returned again to hear the judge read those elements. The jury deliberated about two hours before sending out another note around 4:15 p.m. indicating jurors wanted to stop for the day and wanted to once again hear the elements of one of the charges: Murder 2nd degree. Warrington is accused of causing a head injury to 5-year-old Gary Carpenter in November 2012 and then not doing anything to help the boy recover from the injury. Carpenter was the son of Warrington's girlfriend, Jennie Mattison, who is awaiting sentencing for her conviction on a hindering charge. She was accused of lying to police about what happened to her son in order to protect Warrington. Mattison could get a sentence of up to four years.
