I read this article online .........let me know your views
Retained Players: Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers
Auction Purse: Rs. 30.5 Crores (305 million)
Right-to-match cards: 1
Game Plan
RCB had a now-up-now-down sort of season last year. When they won, they won emphatically but otherwise, something looked amiss and they have quickly realized that it was the depth of their bowling. It is evident from the players they have retained that the bowling/bowling all-rounder slots will be their top priority going into this auction. Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers carried the team through most of last season – something that was almost decriminalized by rival fans – and have been bestowed with the responsibility again.
Right to Match
The three players retained will primarily be used as batsmen only. Considering the relatively weak batting roster they had, it doesn't look likely that the RCB batting order will feature anyone else from the 2013 squad. That would make any one of Zaheer Khan, Jaydev Unadkat, Muralitharan, RP Singh or Vinay Kumar contenders to be pursued with the card.
However, I would be very surprised if Ravi Rampaul doesn't attract bids from other franchises and if RCB doesn't exercise their right to match. He was, by far, their best bowler last year and a viable option to lead the attack this time and for a relatively cheap price.
Daniel Christian, Andrew McDonald and Moises Henriques were employed mainly as utility players last year. Would RCB gamble on one from this bunch of "balance-bringers"? Possibly.
The Auction
The elimination of the Pune franchise and the Daredevils's endeavour to start from scratch has brought into the auction some very high quality. Importantly, from RCB's perspective, a vast majority of this list consists of premier Indian bowlers; going by the form the Indian bowling has been in recently, a lot of them could be available at knock-down prices.
Some of this lot who will draw intense bid-shed would be Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Shami Ahmed and Pragyan Ojha. If they can land two from this list without a substantial hit on their 30.5 million purse, say a setback of not more than 40 million, they will have done extremely good business.
However, by retaining their top batsmen, they have made it clear that an overseas strike bowler is on their radar and Morne Morkel, undoubtedly, will be top on that list. Mitchell Johnson would be sought-after too. But they are both bowlers who will command large paychecks and alternatives must be considered. James Pattinson, Pat Cummins, Coulter-Nile and Doug Bollinger (at 5 million!) really spring up from the list and Clint McKay could also be an option.
But I wouldn't be surprised if RCB go in strongly for either or both Mitch McCleneghan and Tim Southee. The latter, at a base price of 5 million rupees, could be a real steal if Chennai decide they don't want him. In any case, I expect a large contingent of Kiwis to come RCB's way this auction with their new head coach in Vettori.
Which brings me to another useful player in Nathan McCullum. Heaven knows that Bangalore needs spinners and if they can snap up big-hitting McCullum and someone like an Amit Mishra or a Rahul Sharma, most of their bowling woes will solve themselves.
One positive that RCB has this season is that they will not have to spend too much on capped batsmen. In fact, the crop of domestic batsmen coming through from Karnataka are so promising that I wouldn't expect the franchise to splurge on more than two marquee batsmen. One thing is certain, however, and that is that Robin Uthappa will be one of them. It's a no-brainer, really. He's everything they need at the top with Gayle and is also a local boy.
Finch and Hales may be fancied too, but my fantasy pick would be Mahela Jayawardena to partner Gayle at the top. They don't come much better than that.
Expect also, some interest in Dinesh Karthik, Johan Botha and Thisara Perera.
To sum it all up, these are the players I think RCB will have a lot of time for. Will they have the money, though?
Batsmen: Uthappa, Taylor/Jayawardena, Eoin Morgan.
Bowlers: Morkel, Southee, Johnson, Pattinson, Ojha, Mishra.
All Rounders: Corey Anderson, N. McCullum, Shakib al-Hasan, Johan Botha, Thisara Perera.
Signings that may surprise: Rajat Bhatia, Murali Vijay, James Neesham, Alex Hales, Fidel Edwards, L. Balaji, Virender Sehwag, Shadab Jakati.
Uncapped players: Mayank Agarwal, KL Rahul, Manish Pandey, CM Gautam, HS Sharath, Shreyas Gopal.

I have been working at Qlik
High growth, great people, mostly friendly environment. Have a highly differentiated product offering good for midsize companies. Marketing is getting better.
Poor sales management at the top level in the U.S. Hands off approach leads to not knowing what is going on at the critical levels of the organization.
Stop hiring and firing Presidents in the U.S. Live the culture you say you have. Seek out employee opinions and listen to them.

ProsC'est une société jeune et dynamique, la charge de travail est lourde mais intéressante, j'ai un très bon manager qui soutient entièrement son équipe et est la pour nous aider lorsque nous avons besoin de lui. Les bénéfices est les activités en équipe son
It is a young and dynamic company, workload is heavy but interesting, I have a very good manager who fully supports his team and is there to help us whenever you need him. Benefits and team activities are super and you get to travel to interesting places within Europe and elsewhere.
ConsPresque tous les employés sont surchargés de travail, c'est pourquoi l'équilibre entre le travail et la vie personnelle peut être affecté si vous ne vous forcez pas à sortir du bureau à 18h. Même s'il existe des programmes d'entraînement officiels sur place, vous n'y accèderez probablement pas en raison de la charge de travail.
Pretty much every employee is overloaded with work, therefore work life balance can get effected if you don't force yourself to leave the office at 6pm. Even if there are plans for formal training in place you may not get to go to them because of workload.
Advice to ManagementAdviceContinuez les choses bien comme les sommets annuels d'équipes et QlikAcadamy mais s'il-vous-plaît, assurez-vous de donner suffisamment de marge à chaque équipe afin qu'elles puissent faire leur travail sans faire de burnout.
Keep doing the good things such as team/annual summits and QlikAcadamy but please make sure to give enough headcount to each team so they can perform their jobs without burning out.

How does one go about getting a Thai school to obtain a work permit for them? My wife has a Thai teachers license and has for many years.
Non-b visa is required for a work permit.
However, not quite sure I understand your question! 'How does one go about getting a Thai school to obtain a work permit for them?'
If a Thai school in Thailand hires a foreigner to work, the school will take care of the necessary procedures in obtaining the work permit for the teacher.
If your Thai wife has a Thai teachers license, then obviously there is no need for her to have a work permit to teach in Thailand.

Conseco Fieldhouse
Attendance: None
Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Danny Granger poured in 35 points and was perfect at the line late in the fourth as the Indiana Pacers held on for a wild 122-117 win over the Sacramento Kings at Conseco Fieldhouse.
Granger was 10-of-20 from the field with six rebounds and hit 13-of-16 free throw attempts including a 4-for-4 stretch over the final 30 seconds.
T.J. Ford contributed 16 points and seven assists while Jarrett Jack added 13 points and seven boards for the Pacers, who snapped a four-game slide with a thrilling win over the Knicks on Friday and won for the first time at home in five games Saturday.
"We have been in every game until maybe the end and or the last minute or so -- this one we got. We kept our composure, played well and got the W," Granger said.
Troy Murphy logged 12 points and 13 rebounds while Roy Hibbert and Marquis Daniels had 12 points each in the win.
Kevin Martin dropped 45 points, three shy of his career high, and dished out six assists. The fourth-year pro, who missed all but 11 games so far this season due to an ankle injury, was 13-of-24 from the field and was perfect on 12 free throw attempts.
"We just didn't get any stops at the end of the game, which hurt us," Martin said. "We'll keep continuing to work and we'll get there."
Bobby Jackson scored 15 to go along with 10 rebounds and five assists while Brad Miller had 13 points, nine boards and six assists for the hapless Kings, who have lost 10 straight on the road for the first time since the 1997-98 season and fell to a dismal 2-15 as the visitor this season.
Sacramento hasn't tasted victory away from ARCO Arena since topping New Orleans on November 19 and has lost eight of nine overall.
With the game tied to start the fourth, Sacramento built up a six-point lead, 113-107, after Martin drained his seventh three-pointer of the contest with 4:15 left to play. Indiana scored nine of the next 10 points, though, and Ford's pull-up jumper with one minute on the clock put the Pacers up one.
Granger added a pair of free throws with 22.7 seconds to go after an unsuccessful Sacramento trip up the floor. Martin couldn't connect on a pair of three-point attempts on the next trip with the Kings trailing 120-117 -- and the Pacers walked away with the win.
Both teams scored early and often over the first 12 minutes with the Kings emerging on top, 37-33. A 20-8 Pacers run over the middle stages of the second allowed for a seven-point lead following back-to-back Indiana threes from Granger and Murphy.
Miller and Martin nailed consecutive threes of their own, though, inside the final 1 1/2 minutes and Indiana held on for a 68-67 edge at the break.
Martin sparked the Kings' attack, hitting on 7-of-11 field goal attempts including a trio of three-pointers in the first half.
A 9-2 spurt to open the third gave the Kings a 76-70 lead before five straight points from Granger to close the frame knotted the contest at 89 apiece.

A spelling of Jonathan that only a cruel parent would give to their child as the messed up spelling of the name results in nobody ever spelling the name correctly, even when it's written out in front of them.

Top Definition
'Johnathon' is completely individual, just like the spelling of his name. He's just too awesome for the conventional spelling, in the same way that he's too awesome to fit the conventional idea of normal in his personality and style. He's tall and handsome and a total tank, wears op shop style clothes and makes them look amazing. He plays basketball and listens to bands most people have never heard of. He's confident, energetic, hilarious and heaps of fun, and has possibly the strangest laugh ever. He's the most loving guy ever, and cares so deeply about everyone. He has a way of seeing people that's different to the way others do- he sees past the front to the brokenness underneath, then somehow manages to see beyond that to beauty; beauty the person can't see themself. He makes people feel special and builds them up with encouragement. He's impossible to forget.

Fashion is sometimes held by fashionistas and fashionistos as being the ultimate reason to live, which is something that's at play within 'The Passion of Thom Browne' spread for SCENE magazine. Browne graces the cover of the publication wearing a crown of thorns that is reminiscent of the one Jesus would've worn during his trials.
Although sacrilegious, 'The Passion of Thom Browne' spread characterizes the work of high fashion designers as being something of a religion that millions ascribe to. The photos throughout the spread feature Browne's Fall/Winter 2013/2014 collection as well as models Natalie Keyser and Monika Borowska. The dark yet slightly ethereal shoot pushes past the cluttered scenes to center on the richly cut garments that are effortlessly gorgeous. Does 'The Passion of Thom Browne' spread go to far or touch on a hot topic regarding the place that fashion holds in our culture?

It's the third early presidential primary state Tancredo has visited this year, as he toys with the idea of a 2008 race.He's a one-issue politician, though, limiting his talks to immigration reform. He also limits his talks to audiences most likely to agree with him.
Tancredo was scheduled to speak today night before hundreds of members of the Fraternal Order of Police at a hall outside Charleston.Any guesses as to when his constituents will start asking, "Congressman, what have you done for us lately -- other than embarass us?"

Quentin Tarantino jetted off to soak up the sun in Mexico over the weekend following his success at the Golden Globes.
The Hollywood director picked up the best screenplay award for his slavery-themed movie Django Unchained and decided to celebrate with his girlfriend Lianne Spiderbaby as they indulged in the delights of the Sea of Cortez.
They were spotted enjoying a day of sailing on the famous body of water, jumping and snorkelling in the sea.
Wearing a pair of blue swim shorts, featuring a red go-faster stripe, the hairy Pulp Fiction director held his nose as he splashed into the water, while horror writer Lianne sported a flattering red and white striped bikini.
The couple only went public with their relationship last month, choosing Mexico as one of their first official holidays together.
Lianne, who has the real surname of MacDougall, made a name for herself as a horror film journalist, writing for the likes of Fangoria.

And we watch Rowan Atkinson continue to spit in the face of reason, churning out more laughs. Also, James May talks to a gurrrl. Top Gear: The Complete Season 17 If you are anything like me, then you've never really been much of a gear head or a car freak. That's okay, we're simply the kind of people who would rather be in the living room watching a movie than in the garage tinkering around with engine parts. That said, there's nothing more magnetic to me than the musings of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. This triumvirate odd couple of motorist journalism is the most consistently entertaining group of hosts you'll find anywhere on TV. Forget about Idol or The Voice, it's all about these three middle-aged British men and their clear overcompensation issues. The fact that the BBC allows them to smash up expensive cars, light segments of Sweden on fire and hold monumental tributes to the Jaguar E-Type is all just a bonus in the end. Did I mention that they let celebrities drive around in reasonably priced cars? If you're not giving […]

Pulsed Q dissociation enables combining LTQ ion trap instruments with isobaric peptide tagging. Unfortunately, this combination lacks a technique which accurately reports protein abundance ratios and is implemented in a freely available, flexible software pipeline. We developed and implemented a technique assigning collective reporter ion intensity-based weights to each peptide abundance ratio and calculating a protein's weighted average abundance ratio and p-value. Using an iTRAQ-labeled standard mixture, we compared our technique's performance to the commercial software MASCOT, finding that it performed better than MASCOT's nonweighted averaging and median peptide ratio techniques, and equal to its weighted averaging technique. We also compared performance of the LTQ-Orbitrap plus our technique to 4800 MALDI TOF/TOF plus Protein Pilot, by analyzing an iTRAQ-labeled stem cell lysate. We found highly correlated protein abundance ratios, indicating that the LTQ-Orbitrap plus our technique yields results comparable to the current standard. We implemented our technique in a freely available, automated software pipeline, called LTQ-iQuant, which is mzXML-compatible; supports iTRAQ 4-plex and 8-plex LTQ data; and can be modified for and have weights trained to a user's LTQ and other isobaric peptide tagging methods. LTQ-iQuant should make LTQ instruments and isobaric peptide tagging accessible to more proteomic researchers.

Vampires on the Mississippi Steamboats,
This review is from: George RR Martin Fevre Dream TPB (Paperback)
Reason for Reading: I received a review copy in the mail and while I hadn't requested it; it was a gorgeous looking book and I'm always up for a good vampire story.
I have not read the original novel which this graphic has been adapted from nor have I actually read anything by the author, George R.R. Martin, so this was new territory for me. A unique story set in 1857 along the Mississippi River during the heyday of the huge passenger steamboats. A down-on-his-luck, though widely respected captain, is met by a stranger who offers him a deal he cannot pass up. The man will give him the money to build the finest ship on the river, in exchange the man and a few of his friends will live on board and though they may be odd and will keep strange hours Captain Marsh is not to question them and while he will not interfere with the running of the boat he will occasionally give orders to dock and again he is not to be questioned. Captain Marsh agrees. Little does he know what he has got himself into! This is a great vampire story. We have one small group of "good" vampires whose leader has managed to find a cure for the "red thirst", thus allowing them to live decent lives by night. There is also a much larger group which revels in its killing and slaughter, wanting to take over the world, keeping humans as their cattle. When the two groups find each other, it is a long fight between the Alpha's of each group with Captain Marsh caught in the middle. I found this to be a page turner. Captain Marsh is an intriguing character, one who values honesty and loyalty. The art is beautiful, dark and even sensuous at times. This book is very much 18+ though, there are incredibly violent and gory scenes aplenty, along with full frontal female nudity, and some simply disturbing scenes, language oddly enough though, is mild. A fun, creepy horror story.

good characters slow story,
By peter d pipinis "mysticskeptic" (berri, s.a. australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fevre Dream (Paperback)
I love vampire novels, and I had really high hopes for Fevre Dream. Perhaps too high. I had read comments that claimed the book was equal in quality to 'salem's Lot and The Hunger, and had always held off reading Fevre Dream until I wanted a really special experience. The first big disappointment was finding out the 'vampires' were not of the supernatural kind - the truly evil, utterly damned sort - but I adjusted and hoped the plotting and narrative drive would make up for this. It didn't, and that was my second big disappointment. It was very good quite often but not brilliant. The author was aiming for an epic feel, which he occasionally achieved, and good characterisation, and here he succeeded. Abner Marsh was a grittily realistic, larger than life, yet sympathetic individual, and to a lesser degree so was Joshua York. The two evil characters were truly evil - I won't be forgetting Sour Billy Tipton and Damon Julian for awhile. Joshua's girlfriend Valerie provides the only truly terrifying moment. But it is Abner that makes the book a good one ultimately, he is the reason why the novel's epilogue is so moving. A good novel but the potential was there for a much better one. Read it on a slow winter's night to get the full effect, don't expect the earth, and perhaps you will enjoy yourself so much you'll wonder what I'm quibbling about.

Southern vampire tale richly backlit by the Steamer trade,
By Schtinky "Schtinky" (Washington State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fevre Dream (Paperback)
Taking place in 1857, this story is about Abner Marsh, who is owner of the Fevre River Packet Company, and once held a profitable steamboat business upon the Mississippi River. But one foul winter and a freezing river crippled his fleet and left him with nothing but his reputation as a formidable captain, and honest tradesman, and the ugliest man on the river. He is down to one lowly boat that travels only on the Illinois, and that one fading fast, when he is approached by Joshua York, a pale, enigmatic businessman who makes an offer of partnership with Abner.
York makes an offer far above what the Fevre River Packet Company is worth, but tells Abner that it is because of his desire to own and operate a real steamboat, and be captain though Abner would run the daily functions and pilot the boat. With Abner's experience and York's money, they come to an agreement to build the finest steamboat on the Mississippi, The Fevre Dream. Crewed with the best, she sets out from New Albany towards New Orleans, stopping first in St. Louis. Abner had not batted much of an eyelash when York first mentioned that he and his "guests" would be traveling up and down the river with him, his lust for owning a large, luxurious steamer that could beat The Eclipse's speed driving away the warning from York that he could be a bit...peculiar. For York is a vampire, and is on a quest of his own. He has developed a drink that staves off the Vampire's hunger for flesh, and has a dream of turning his people away from the killing of humans. But working against him is Damon Julian, and his pack of hungry followers, who believe that the old ways are the good ways. Also with Julian is Sour Billy Tipton, their human servant who assists them in acquiring what they need and protecting them. Little by little, things begin to unravel, and by the time Julian and Sour Billy join up with Joshua York on The Fevre Dream, Abner has come to realize his dream of running the biggest and fastest steamer on the Mississippi was nothing more than a dream, and that his desires had blinded him to the reality of York's mission. This is a unique vampire story, appropriate for both vampire purists and vampire modernists; actually staging a battle between the two factions. Should vampires want to mingle amongst the human population, or should they retain their status as feeders and monsters? By taking this approach and placing it in the 1850's South amid the lively steamboat trade up and down the Mississippi River, Martin has created a creepy and exceptional tale of languid horror in a lush backdrop. This is a not to be missed novel whether you love vampire books or creepy southern tales. Highly recommended. Enjoy!

Not Really Up My Alley,
By Dan Dean (Myrtle Beach, SC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fevre Dream (Paperback)
Martin is my favorite author, but Fevre Dream wasn't really up my alley. I figured that since I loved Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, a similar novel by George would have to be at least as good. Maybe I just had my hopes up too high for this one. It was still decent, but I couldn't help but feel that Interview just had it outclassed on so many levels.
My main problem with this book, was the same problem I had with Dying of the Light... the pacing. It was just very slow. Maybe I'm just a shallow reader who needs more action in his literature. The Song of Ice and Fire novels, Tuf Voyaging, Armageddon Rag, and almost all of his short stories were simply outstanding, so I'm having a little trouble putting my finger on any other reasons why I didn't like this book. However, as you can tell by its rating, it certainly has it's fans here, so I'll end off just by saying that if you didn't care for Dying of the Light, you probably won't care for this one either, and visa versa. Its out of print in the US, so just get it from the library if you must read it, then buy it only if you liked it.

By Nobody Told Me (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fevre Dream (Paperback)
I normally hate vampire books... because they're more romance novels than fictional adventures. And the only reason i picked up this book, is because i've been absolutely hooked on GRR Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series. But i have to say, this book is absolutely amazing. I thought the only reason why Martin was able to recreate medieval life so accurately and amazingly in Song of Ice and Fire was because he must have been a medieval buff or expert... and maybe he is, but that means he must also be a Mississipi steamboat expert as well, because his writing is almost like he lived the time. Heck, i think i would have given this book 5 stars even if it wasn't about vampires and lacked any plot, and it was simply a diary or recounts of somebody from that time.
I won't spoil the book, but if you truly want to be transported to another time, this book is definitely for you.

Loved this book,

This review is from: Fevre Dream (Kindle Edition)
Loved this book! It was so interesting. When I describe this book to my friends they look at me like I'm crazy... it's vampires on a steam boat in the 1800's, yet it is so amazing how it all comes together, it doesn't even feel like I'm reading a vampire novel. I feel like it's about another race of people who are facing a genocide. The characters are so real, however I found the dichotomy between good and evil a bit too themed given some of GRRM's other books. Still, though, amazing! Worth the time and money.

Steamboats and vampires!,
By Patrick St-Denis, editor of Pat's Fantasy Hot... (Laval, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Fevre Dream (Mass Market Paperback)
Steamboats and vampires. . . I have to admit that I've always been intrigued by George R. R. Martin's Fevre Dream. So when Bantam Books released a new mass market edition of GRRM's early novel, I decided that it was time to give this work a shot. And I'm sure glad I did, for Fevre Dream is an original and engrossing read!
Here's the blurb: Abner Marsh, a struggling riverboat captain, suspects that something's amiss when he is approached by a wealthy aristocrat with a lucrative offer. The hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York doesn't care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh's dilapidated fleet; nor does he care that he won't earn back his investment in a decade. York's reasons for traversing the powerful Mississippi are to be none of Marsh's concern—no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious York's actions may prove. Not until the maiden voyage of Fevre Dream does Marsh realize that he has joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare—and humankind's most impossible dream. As always, Martin excels at creating a genuine and realistic setting. His vivid prose brings the reader back to the Mississippi river runs of the 1800s. The narrative is filled with a wealth of historical details from that period, and the author's love for steamboats adds another dimension to the tale. Inventive, Fevre Dream also offers an explanation regarding vampirism that sets this work apart from all the other vampire novels on the market. All of this put together makes for interesting and original worldbuilding. Indeed, in terms of style, Fevre Dream is quite unique. As is usually his wont, GRRM's characterization is "top notch" and he created another cast of fascinating protagonists. Most of the POV sections are split between chapters in which we witness events taking place through the eyes of Abner Marsh and the despicable Sour Billy Tipton. Although these two characters are far from likeable, both men grow on you as the story progresses. Understandably, the mysterious Joshua York and Damon Julian are the most captivating protagonists of this book. It will come as no surprise that GRRM has a few surprises up his sleeve. Indeed, the author's different take on vampirism allows him to keep readers on their toes. The pace is fluid throughout, which makes Fevre Dream a page-turner. George R. R. Martin sure knows how to capture your imagination and suck you into a tale, and Fevre Dream is no different in that regard. The more you read, the more you want to know what happens next. Choosing that particular historical period as a backdrop for the story gives Fevre Dream its unique flavor. Add to that a few chilling and disturbing scenes, as well as superior characterization, and you have something special. I know that most fans would prefer to get their hands on The Winds of Winter instead of this or any other work by George R. R. Martin. Still, Fevre Dream is a fresh and imaginative read that showcases the length and breadth of the author's talent. It has aged rather well, and at no time does it feel that you are reading a novel that was initially published thirty years ago. If, like me, the premise has piqued your curiosity, do give GRRM's Fevre Dream a shot. You won't be disappointed! Check out Pat's Fantasy Hotlist!

Good but not Great,
This review is from: Fevre Dream (Paperback)
I have to say that while this isn't the BEST vampire novel I have ever read and it is NOT AT ALL up to par with George RR Martin's other books.... it is still a decent book. Well thought out, good characters, well written, etc. I would have given it a 4 had it not been for the slow and predictable storyline.
So while it was not the best out there is definately was not the worst I have ever read in this genre and definately worth reading once, if you don't mind slow stories and knowing where they go before they actually get there that is ;). |

This palette is a really great option for girls that like more sober makeup, it comes with nothing but elegant colors. It's amazing for both day and night looks, as it contains a wide range of colors. They're exactly the same in real life than in the picture. They're not INCREDIBLY pigmented but they are pigmented enough, I don't find them chalky and the lack of excessive pigmentation allows for adequate layering anyway; and they last a fair amount of time.
It's really versatile because you can create many different looks with them. There are really only very few shadows that I don't use much in this palette, all of them are nice!
Definitely thumbs-up.
i love this palette..can use it for any look you want whether natural or smokey..just use an eyeshadow primer..also some colors are not very pigmented but its very suitable for it's price and does a wonderful job
Finally neutral palettes hysteria got into me and i ordered this pallet. This is my first pallet of this size and i love every single color in it. All the shades are absolutely wearable day and night time. Appropriate for any age. The pigmentation is ok. Some of the shades are more pigmented some are less. Some of them creamy, some are chalky. When i tried a couple of the colors on my eyes today i realized that i will have to really work to reach desired intensity for a dramatic look.
The only shade i don't care about is the bright pink which makes me look sick when i apply it to my eyelid, but i can use it as a blush.
I would also wish they replaced some of the light colors with other deeper shades or different tones (too many light colors looking the same on the eyes).
The package is thin and light. Bad news - its missing mirror but for the price of 10.99 you can't get everything.
This is a good choice for some one like me who doesn't use shadows everyday and doesn't want to splurge on expensive palettes.
Despite some negatives i said over all its a good palette for affordable price.

This is good for begginers, I would've loved to own this when I was 15 and starting to play with makeup. But if you're like me and own many other eyeshadows and brands you will be disappointed. For the most part they aren't very pigmented and pretty chalky, but there are some shades that I like. After some time of random use the palette is a mess and coming apart. I wouldn't buy this again.
I got mine for roughly 6 dollars from another website but its the same exact thing. I think its a good beginners palette, something for a young teen. Colors are decent for the most part, some duds but not more then 2. I do not care for the black, it seems chalky in mine. Recommended for beginners.

This is great for the price! I paid $15 and that is unreal for the quality and variety this palette offers. So many matte neutral colors! I have the perfect shimmery nude for lid and highlight. A selection of neutral browns, and deeper browns for the crease and lining. I do use UD primer sometimes, sometimes I don't.... great color payoff regardless. For the price, everyone should jump on this palette!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this palette. The matte neutrals alone are worth getting this palette. It's so rare to find so many matte neutrals, and ones that show up. This palette has such a nice range of colors that I like to use...from creams, beiges, tans, browns, to mauves. It's so easy to wear a nice natural day look or more dramatic look with this palette alone.
I haven't had any problems with pigmentation of these shadows (obviously they are not going to be comparable to brands like Urban Decay). I wear my avon primer under these and application and wear time are both good. The only thing I'm not crazy about with this palette are the shades with glitter, as I find they have a lot of glitter fallout. I just don't bother with those shades. Especially for the price, the mattes and satins that I do wear make this palette well worth it for me.

I like this palette a lot, the colors are great. The only downfall is that the eyeshadow doesn't really last that long. I've tried different eye primers/brushes with it and still they only last a few hours.
I've only worked with this palette a little. My biggest gripe is that the very dark colors I was excited about blending into my crease are NOT pigmented at all. It's so disappointing b/c they all look like beautiful colors!
the lighter colors, believe it or not, are just more pigmented.
Maybe I need to work with this more to see what this palette can really do, but my first impression is not good.
I really like this product and I love the colors that come with it. Some of them are a little bit chalky and they tend to be harder to blend, but overall, they are great colors. This is a fantastic neutral palette and as long as I use my eyeshadow primer and I take my time, the colors come out pretty true. You have to start the colors off and make sure that little bit of surface covering is off the first time you use it (you know what I'm talking about...it's that little powdery coating that covers the eyeshadow when it first comes out of the package. I guess it's to protect the color) and after that, it seems to work good. I have also found that if I have a damp (not wet) brush, the color seems to work better. Also, don't swipe it on, just dab it on and it deposits more color and is easier to blend.

If this doesn't work, there's always Tinder. :)
Humble yet confident hard working guy, who loves to laugh and make others laugh seeks to bring light, love, joy, and affection to a beautiful yet good-hearted muse. I'm looking to build a lasting and substantive relationship. I wouldn't rule-out friendship, but that's not really my aim on Match. I'm a native Angeleno and I love this city, the people and our fab weather. I'm outdoors a lot so I rock a year-around tan. I take my dogs on a hike daily and I go trail running sometimes. If I'm not blazing the trails, then I'm cuttin'-the-rug on the dance floor. I recently got into Salsa dancing and I'm loving it. But I still love my House music the best for dancing the night away. So if you love to dance, bring it on! Right now, my main hobby outside of dancing is physical fitness. It's sounds really dorky, but I've set some goals and I really want to hit them and then scale it back a bit. Don't get me wrong I love the gym and all, but I'd rather be outside doing something fun like biking, hiking or jogging. I'm sorry but doing 500 sit-ups isn't my idea of fun. I like the product of that work. But it's no fun. No way, no how. I like to go to bed early and get up early, and that's always the plan, but most of the time I go to bed late and get up early. I feel that if I'm a grove with what I'm working on I should just go for it. It takes time to build into that momentum and it would be shame to stop it for the sake of going to bed at an exact time. I'm a big sports fan; not in the nerdy overly obsessive way, but I find sports entertaining and exciting. The best part about sports though, is celebrating with friends and fam. Maybe it's from growing up watching Laker games and just going bonkers with friends and fam when they hit a game wining shot. Those are some great memories! Tailgating at SC games is pretty fab too! I have one older sister and we're pretty close. She's into fashion and wine and super easy going; The perfect shopping companion! She's also the kind of person who you'd call when you've had a bad day and after the convo are left feeling like everything is going to be alright. I got a great fam and I'm very fortunate to have them. So what am I looking for? Basically someone that's fun, authentic, confident, sporty, but can still rock a sexy dress (I like to go to dinners and such). Someone that can throw and catch a frisbee. Haha. I know, I don't set the bar to high, right? :) But seriously, I like to be outdoors and do sporty things so I think it's important that my mate can do them too. Someone that's really going for it and living their life the way they want to live it! Most of all, just be nice and real.

Despite the increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the pediatric population, there is limited information about the relative effectiveness of treatment approaches. This article describes the rationale and design of a National Institutes of Health-sponsored multi-site, randomized, parallel group clinical trial designed to test the hypothesis that aggressive reduction in insulin resistance early in the course of T2DM is beneficial for prolongation of glycemic control, as well as improvement in associated abnormalities and risk factors. Specifically, the trial compares treatment with metformin with two alternate approaches, one pharmacologic (combining metformin treatment with rosiglitazone) and one combining metformin with an intensive lifestyle intervention program. The Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study recruits 800 patients over a 4-yr period and follows them for a minimum of 2 yr and maximum of 6 yr. Patients are 10-17 yr of age, within 2 yr of diagnosis of diabetes at the time of randomization, lack evidence of autoimmunity, and have sustained C-peptide secretion. The primary outcome is time to loss of glycemic control, defined as a hemoglobin A1c >8% for 6 consecutive months. Secondary outcomes include the effect of the alternative treatments on insulin secretion and resistance, body composition, nutrition, physical activity and fitness, cardiovascular risk monitoring, microvascular complications, quality of life, depression, eating pathology, and resource utilization. TODAY is the first large-scale, systematic study of treatment effectiveness for T2DM in youth. When successfully completed, this study will provide critical new information regarding the natural history of T2DM in youth, the benefits of initiating early aggressive treatment in these patients, and the efficacy of delivering an intensive and sustained lifestyle intervention to children with T2DM.

I thought I would post my experience today because this website gave me some guidance and maybe saved a lot of money, hassle and even lives. My girlfriend and I moved into an old house three days ago. When I came home from work today the whole house smelled faintly of smoke, but not the typical electrical fire smoke of burning plastic or metal. Rather, it smelled pleasant and woody, almost like mesquite. But there was no visible smoke and fire, just the smell of wood smoke. At first I thought maybe a neighbor was barbecuing, but I did not smell it outside. I searched the house high and low and found nothing. When my girlfriend got home a few hours later, it still smelled of smoke and she noted it right away. We searched again, checking all of the obvious sources (furnace, water heater, etc.) and less obvious places (outlets, fixtures), but found nothing. It seemed maybe vaguely hazy--you could only see it shining a bean across a room--but no real smoke and no fire. We tested the smoke detectors and found that they were working. We called our landlord to see if anything like this had happened in the past--no. We checked and checked again. We Googled things like "smoke smell in house" or "wood smoke smell in house" to see if anyone had a similar experience, hoping it was something benign. We decided to call the fire department. Although we called the "non-emergency" line, the fire department treated it as a five-alarm fire--a ladder truck, a fire engine, three other fire department vehicles, and about 15 firefighters in full gear. They searched the house high and low, too, using infrared monitors and other detectors, but they found no hotspots. Finally, though, they found a light fixture in the unfinished basement that was not working. They unscrewed the cover on the fixture and the whole inside, backing, box and wires were blackened and singed. The mesquite smoke smell was the old wood beam that fixture was mounted to. It had not burned in a true sense, but it was blackened. In the end, the reason we called the fire department was because we saw a post on this message board that said, no matter what, just call the fire department and have them check it out. So, if you came here because your house smells like smoke and you cannot identify the cause, please call the fire department! You will be glad you did. |
Follow-Up Postings:
My pastor had a very similar episode. Opened an outlet and found the same thing. Very good advice - don't stop until you find the source. |
This happened to us when we lived in an old 1930s apartment building. I kept smelling something "hot." After about a half-hour I found the source. It was a wall outlet that was so hot I could not touch it for more than a few seconds. Otherwise, it looked perfectly normal. We shut the power off and replaced it with a new outlet after cleaning the wires. They were black with corrosion. It was fine after that. Informed the landlord and that was the end of it. |
My cousin was experiencing flickering lights and went looking for the cause. When he opened the door to the attic, it erupted in flames and the whole house burnt to the ground in minutes. Cousin, wife and kids all got out safely. Remember to also put smoke detectors in the attic, basement and any other space where a smoldering fire might otherwise go unnoticed. |

Many Ways to Use The Everyday Oils Collection
LAVENDER (Lavandula angustifolia) is the most versatile of all essential oils. Lavender is an adaptogen, and therefore can assist the body when adapting to stress or imbalances. It is a great aid for relaxing and winding down before bedtime, yet has balancing properties that can also boost stamina and energy. Therapeutic-grade lavender is highly regarded for skin and beauty. It may be used to soothe and cleanse minor skin irritations. The French scientist Rene Gattefosse was among the first to discover these properties when he was severely burned in a laboratory explosion. Lavender may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods. The fragrance is calming, relaxing and balancing — physically and emotionally. This plant is organically grown and distilled at the Young Living Farms.

Frankincense is considered the holy anointing oil in the Middle East, where it has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. More recently, it has been used in European and American hospitals and is the subject of substantial research. Frankincense is also a valuable ingredient in skin care products for dry skin.

PEPPERMINT (Mentha piperita) is one of the oldest and most highly regarded
herbs for soothing digestion. One of the oldest and most highly regarded herbs for soothing digestion, it may also restore digestive efficiency.* Jean Valnet MD studied peppermint's supportive effect on the liver and respiratory systems. Other scientists have also researched peppermint's role in improving taste and smell when inhaled. Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati studied peppermint's ability to improve concentration and mental sharpness. Alan Hirsch MD studied peppermint's ability to directly affect the brain's satiety center, which triggers a sensation of fullness after meals. This powerful essential oil is often diluted before topical application. Peppermint may also be used to enhance the flavor of food and water. This plant is
grown and distilled at the Young Living Farms.

*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Don't expect the same results unless you are using Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ Essential Oils and supplements.

The Digital Continuum: Five criminally unused MMO settings part 2 {Massively}
Apr 6th 2009 7:18PM I'm going to go back and second (seventh maybe?) the MechWarrior/Battletech MMO. I remember having a great time back in the days of MechWarrior 2, playing Netmech over Kali in leagues like The Killing Zone and the Grand Council. While the Grand Council was primarily a ladder, I remember TKZ being a blast.
You'd join up with a House, Clan or Merc unit, and then you'd be battling it out, basically guild warfare on various "planets" determined by their environmental settings and maps. Limited in weight classes by what your unit both owned and brought with them, it pulled together a great framework back before that was the big thing.
I would spend $15 a month on that. In a second.

Sep 9th 2008 2:41PM Well, I've been trying to decide what to do, my good ol' original 4G iPod 20GB (U2 Edition) is about on it's last legs, and this might be the replacement. Don't feel like spending over $300CAD for a 16GB Touch, and the 16GB finally allows this to serve as my main player.
Had considered jumping ship to the Sandisks (bought one for my fiancee, nice piece of equipment) but rumors are they're having some shuffle issues, and I'm on shuffle 50%+ of the time.
