I was out walking on a beautiful sunny fall day, and caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror. I really got worried that I had some kind of terminal illness, I looked so washed out and horrible. Decided that a bright lipstick might help me recover from the shock. Ran to a Mac counter and chose Brave Red.
I have had a love-hate relationship with red lipsticks. While I realize that matte is in vogue right now, I actually find the texture too drying, and as I am a woman of a certain age, red can also make me look like Cruella. This one is actually lovely....I prefer it to most others I've tried, and like it much more than Russian Red or Ruby Woo. It is a bit creamier, not drying and actually stays on for 4 or 5 hours with minimal fading. The color is red, but not too cool so as to be aging. I didn't need a lip liner, which is a big bonus.
If anyone from Mac reads these reviews, I wish that the color name was in big bold letters, or that the cap was see through. I have so many Mac lipsticks that finding what I want can be daunting.

This is my ultimate red lipstick. Love the texture, tone...everything is perfect. I have black hair and a light complexion, and this lipstick highlights this contrast, makes my teeth look super white, and it's just all-around amazing. I have many half-tubes in my lipstick arsenal, but this is not one of them!

Age: 30-35 Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm Hair: Black, Straight, Medium Eyes: Black
Fantastic neutral red cream, not too dark or too light. I find it quite buildable, which is nice because if I wear it full on, it tends to look a bit loud on me and pulls a little bit pink (yellow-toned NC25/30). It's a lovely, clean red and a great alternative to my favorite daytime red cream, Clinique Angel Red, which is deeper and softer. Brave Red lasts reasonably well on me for about 4-5 hrs, and as it wears, it fades evenly. If I didn't have so many lipsticks in my rotation, this would certainly be a staple!

I wish I'd discovered Brave Red before I bought Russian Red. I love this shade of red. It reminds me of Mac Red, and it looks good on my nw43 complexion. I can actually wear this without any or very little makeup. When this tube runs out I will repurchase. I use vino, currant or brick liner with it.

marypotter07 on 3/2/2014 4:55:00 PM more reviews by marypotter07
Age: 18 & Under Skin: Dry, Fair Hair: Brunette Eyes: Green
Perfect red! I have fairly neutral skin, leaning warm, and am fair/light, probably around nw15-20 in mac products. It is mostly blue toned, so cool, with just a SLIGHT touch of warmth. I would say it has a cream formula, but more of a satin finish, so it is more comfortable than a super glossy or straight up matte. I have only had it for a few hours, but it is comfortable to wear and wears nicely. The only thing is that it is pretty small for the price, which has just been increased from $15 to $16 (seriously... they have a lot of faithful customers that always repurchase and it isn't fair to keep increasing the cost...) They are cheaper than a lot of other high end lipsticks, though. This and creme cup are my first mac lipsticks, and I am sold. :D

This is my go-to red. It's super red and flattering with my fair with cool-undertones skin. I pair it with MAC cherry lip liner and it looks great. I get a little feathering/bleeding on the edges but it's not a deal breaker. It's got the perfect amount of shine to it. I got mine through Back to MAC but I would repurchase - I've found "my" red.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Normal, Tan, Warm Hair: Black, Wavy Eyes: Brown
Brave red is the perfect balance of red; neutral and very wearable. Along with MAC Red this is a great red if you're looking for a red but don't want the more popular Russian Red or Ruby Woo since they're matte. This one is very creamy and moisturizing. I find it wears very well and fades evenly.

I was looking for a wearable red, because I wasn't brave enough to wear my favorite Russian Red during day time. Ironically, after standing at the MAC counter trying on red lipsticks for an hour, I decided to go with Brave Red. I love it. I think its flattering, (nw20) and you can build it, or sometimes I'll just wear a touch with lip balm. Lovely color, so glad I have it!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Great Game Redux
Afghanistan*s newly discovered mineral wealth * worth perhaps as much as a
trillion dollars * offers the country a chance for a better future. But
it will also intensify the struggle by its neighbors and the big powers to
control Afghanistan*s politics and destiny. For America*s longest war,
the stakes have gotten bigger.
The Soviet invaders of Afghanistan did the first serious
geological surveys of the country in the 1980s but when Moscow decided to
give up the fight against the mujahedin in 1989 the results were hidden
away in the safes of Afghanistan*s communist government. It took the
United States three years to find the survey data after 2001 and then
another couple of years to start checking it out. Earlier this year the
government of President Hamid Karzai was presented with the good news:
you are sitting on a mountain of wealth.
Afghanistan*s mineral wealth includes iron, copper, cobalt,
gold and critical industrial metals like lithium. Afghanistan*s former
Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani told me a month ago that the prospects are
dazzling for his country. Afghanistan was a desperately poor country
thirty years ago before the Soviets invaded. Since then it has been
wracked by civil war, terror, anarchy and foreign interference. The
economy has been captured by the opium trade. So the mineral wealth
offers a chance for Afghanistan to build a better future.
That will of course require foreign investment to create a
mining industry which does not exist. And that will mean competition
between the potential investors and competition to find ways to export the
minerals out of land locked Afghanistan. At the top of the list will be
the two fast growing mega economies of Asia, China and India.
China has already won a $3 billion bid for a copper mine south of Kabul.
China has a voracious appetite for minerals to fuel its economy. China
and Afghanistan share a short border with Afghanistan at the tip of the
Wakhan corridor * a geographic oddity left over from the British Empire *
at the Wajhjir pass but no road connects them and the pass is closed by
snow half the year.
India*s economy is also growing faster than ever. It has been
a major investor in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban. It has
provided or pledged over a billion dollars in aid to the Karzai
government. New Delhi has built a major road project in south western
Afghanistan that links the Afghan ring road to Iran, thus creating a land
line to the Arabian Sea that bypasses Pakistan, so that Afghanistan has an
export route independent of Islamabad. This has put India and Iran
together in competition with Pakistan.
Every Indian activity in Afghanistan provokes acute concern in
Islamabad. The road via Iran pushed every Pakistani button. Pakistan has
the most complex relationship of all with Afghanistan. Their border, the
so called Durand line, is also a vestige of British imperialism. No
Afghan government has ever accepted it, not even the Pakistani backed
Taliban government. Pakistan is determined to be a major player in Afghan
politics and the sight of its rival investing in Afghan minerals will
encourage every Pakistani fear and conspiracy theory about Indian and
others intentions. Today Pakistan*s mega city of Karachi is the key port
for importing and exporting into Afghanistan, for example more than three
quarters of NATO*s supplies come via Karachi. Pakistan will want to
exploit its lock on Afghan transit routes to enrich its own economy. It
will look to work with its traditional ally China.
Other big economies, including the US, Russia, Europe and
Japan, will doubtless also want to get a share of the action. Russia and
the Central Asian states will now have a much bigger incentive to develop
alternative trade routes to the north from Afghanistan. Those routes face
formidable geography and long distances to ports.
In theory, all of the competition should be good for
Afghanistan and bring in the best. In practice given the rampant
corruption in the country it could bring out the worst. There are already
allegations of bribery in the China copper deal.
The *great game* was the British nickname for the competition
between the British and the Russians for dominance in Afghanistan in the
19th century. Afghanistan has been a victim of this game for over two
centuries now. Minerals will make the game all the more attractive.
Obama*s war just got even more important and complicated.
Bruce Riedel is a senior fellow at the Saban Center in the Brookings
Institution. His next book, Deadly Embrace: Pakistan, America and the
Future of the Global Jihad will be published this winter.

These high-spec unfinished Isaac Oak veneer folding patio doors offer a contemporary look at an attractive price. FSC certified hardwood and oak
"Just fitted these doors to a summer house I am building at the bottom of my garden. They are delivered unfinished so you will have to paint/varnish them. I used Sikkens wood stain. It took 3 coats of undercoat and two top coats which was a chore to say the least. It took about 15 hours to paint so might be worth getting the finished ones if you can afford it as the doors are very heavy and difficult to handle on your own. It took me a couple of days to fit as after fitting the frame I had to let the mortar set. First off when fitting the frame make sure u measure it and then measure it again as mine were not set correctly. The instructions although good were not perfect with some things left out so make sure you have a good read of them. I was a bit worried about fitting the doors on my own as they are quite hard to man handle. Once the rear door was fitted spot on the other two were easy to fit. Now they are up they look fantastic and the door opening is great. Everyone who has seen them are very impressed. I am pretty handy at diy but they were not to hard to fit."
"Well made kit. Easy to follow instructions. Eveb for a none expert the job went well. The doors work as described. The only fiddily bit is the adjustment on the pivots which is a little difficult to access. The doors are on the side of my workshop exposed to the weather, there has been no ingress of wind or water. Warm hands for the first time!"
"Had previously bought the 4 door set last year and wanted to add the same doors to the new extension - had been very impressed with the quality of the previous doors and was expecting the same this time. Seems they are a different design and the hinges and screws seem of a lower quality. Not pleased to see that they have changed the sill to an aluminium sill even though the picture does not depict this. Overall happy but think the quality has declined on the hinges and screws."

I'll be in Syracuse for the next week and I'm wondering if there are any HBT'rs who wouldn't mind getting together for a beer or at leased can point me toward any good brew pubs and or breweries I can check out... -CBj
I was in Syracuse last fall for a wedding and really enjoyed Empire Brewpub.Empire Brewing Company - Armory Square - Syracuse, New York Their IPA was excellent. Middle Ages brewery is in Syracuse. FX Matt brewery (Saranac) is in Utica just east. Brewery Ommegang isn't that far (maybe over an hour) in Cooperstown NY. There is an Anheuser Busch brewery in Syracuse, but I'm almost positive they don't do tours. I guess they don't want people to see what they put into a can of Budweiser.
As it turns out, I'll be flying into syracuse, but spending all my time in Rochester... Let me know if anyone's up for a beer
Seabee someone just brought Rochester up in the Pub Talk in case you missed it, will save me some time of listing a few...http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f28/good...rewery-125317/
I'd meet ya but 296 miles is a little far for a beer ... Don't know of anyplace up there to have a good beer .
'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.'- Ronald Reagan
Rochester is 'ok' for beer, though you are in luck as the Empire State Brewing & Music Festival is on Friday, July 10th (5-10pm) in downtown Syracuse. I would recommend it, as they have a huge selection of beers and some really amazing cask ales.Empire State Brewing & Music Festival

Thursday, November 19
New Orleans Arena
Attendance: 14,520
New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Peja Stojakovic nailed 7-of-11 three-point tries and recorded 25 points and 13 rebounds to carry New Orleans to a 110-103 victory over the Phoenix Suns.
Darren Collison, filling in for the injured Chris Paul (ankle), scored 11 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter, while Marcus Thornton and Devin Brown each chipped in 19 points for the Hornets, who have won back-to-back games for the first time this season.
Emeka Okafor finished with 13 points and 12 rebounds in the win.
"Anytime you get late into a game in that situation, you have to grow (as a team). David West and Devin Brown helped me by talking to me throughout the game, and that takes a load off of me. At this point, we just had to focus and get the win," said Collison.
Amare Stoudemire led seven Suns in double figures with 23 points, and Jared Dudley hit five three-pointers en route to a 17-point effort for Phoenix, which dropped just its third game this season.
Steve Nash doled out 10 assists to go with 13 points in defeat.
"I don't think there was anything that happened that we didn't warn our guys about. They (the Hornets) were embarrassed by the way they performed at our place, you knew they were going to play better here. No doubt in my mind; Chris Paul, or no Chris Paul, it doesn't matter," said Phoenix head coach Alvin Gentry.
There were several lead changes in the final quarter, as Stojakovic's three- pointer with 2:49 left broke a 96-all tie. Jason Richardson followed with a missed trey, and Collison hit from beyond the arc for a 102-96 Hornets lead.
Dudley hit two free throws to cut the margin to four, and after an unsuccessful Hornets possession, Richardson missed a three and a runner in the lane with under a minute remaining.
Collins' driving bucket at the other end sealed the game's outcome.
New Orleans started the game on a 15-2 run, but the Suns ended the opening quarter strong to cut their deficit to 26-22.
The Hornets led at halftime, 52-49, and a back-and-forth third quarter ended with the hosts holding a 78-76 edge.
Consecutive three-pointers from Dudley and Leandro Barbosa in the early stages of the fourth gave the Suns the lead, and it was nip-and-tuck the rest of the way.

UNDATED — Attorneys representing D.C. sniper John Allen Muhammad are asking the Supreme Court to stop his execution.
Muhammad is scheduled to die next week in a Virginia prison for his role in the shooting spree around the Washington DC. area that left 10 people dead.
In court papers his legal team argues that the original trial attorney was ineffective.
Muhammad and his teenage accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo who was sentenced to life in prison, are also suspected of fatal shootings in other states, including Louisiana and Alabama.

With a focus on learning, we employ a range of strategies to support innovation, collaboration across centers, and university-wide discussion and decision-making
The circumstances and antecedents of consumers' motivations for Internet piracy
Preston Jones, Ph.D. (SBE)
Maria Petrescu, Ph.D. (SBE) John Gironda, Ph.D. (SBE) Isabella Dominici, MBA (SBE)
Using a framework that integrates Consumer Ethics Theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior, this research will investigate the circumstances and antecedents of consumers' motivations for engaging in online Internet piracy. Given the prevalence of online piracy and its impact on copyrighted material, the financial success of firms, Internet traffic volume and bandwidth consumption, an investigation such as the one proposed here is long overdue. Two separate studies will be conducted for this research project. This first will involve the investigation of the relationship between a pirated electronic product's popularity and its price and/or availability. In order to do this we will collect and analyze data from a popular BitTorrent download website related to the top 100 most downloaded movies, music, software and games in order to establish whether there are relationships between product popularity, product price, and product availability. The second study will involve a cross-cultural analysis of other key factors related to consumers' motivations to engage in Internet piracy using a multi-national sample of 1000 individuals. Both multiple regression and structural equations modeling will be used to statistically analyze the data. Completion of this research should lead to a number of contributions for both academic scholars and business practitioners. Enhancing knowledge of the factors motivating consumers to illegally download copyrighted content can significantly assist companies affected by this activity and regulate the availability and use of copyrighted materials. In addition, this research should also aid in formulating business models and strategies that can avoid the escalation of illegal downloads and lead to savings of billions of dollars. Moreover, for business researchers, such a study can clarify not only the theoretical aspects of consumers' behavior related to online copyrighted content, but also more general issues in the domain of consumer ethics.

So I decide to use my day off working on the Little Red Tactical Wagon and some overdue (Since last year) fence work. The Wife, bless her heart, has been asking me to fix the fence and clear all the accumulated crap I have back there. It is 90+ degrees, humidity in the high 70's and yours truly is a professional perspirator and that makes for lots of towels being used to dry myself off.
I had to suspend work because of an incoming storm so I decided to be a good husband and collect all towels for washing. I read the instructions on the detergent container, set the right levels on the washer, poured the indicated amount of detergent and let it rip. Next I got me a cigarrette and called the wife at work:
"Hi Hon."
"Hi Babe, what's new?"
"Good news. 2/3 of the fence is fixed, you have an almost new gate, the Tac wagon is primed and there is a load of old stuff in the truck ready to be hauled to the dump."
"Great! you sure did a lot of work!"
"Hell yes! There are no dry towels left in the house. But don't worry, I got them all in the washer."
All of the sudden I fely my ear freeze to the phone like somebody poured liquid nitrogen on the speaker. Dead silence on the line. I almost though that I was in that celullar comercial where the line drops, but I could hear noises in the background.
"Honey? You there?"
"Did you put all the towels in the washer?'
"Er....yes." <gulp>
"Did you separate colors?"
"Honey, You want me to separate the whites?"
"Honey? Baby cakes, Sweetie pie, You there?"
(frost comes out the phone)
"Go get the white towels out of the washer."
So my question is: How many cups of bleach do I need to get the pink out of the white towels? And hurry up because the wife gets home in an hour and a half!

Update: I made a new and improved version for the contents of this post here.
This original post was merely a very rough initial draft of the analysis.
In the update, I based the analysis around a 50/50 asset allocation. Here it was centered on 60/40. The result here was that a valuation-based asset allocation strategy provides more wealth for 102 of the 110 rolling 30-year periods, while buy-and-hold did better in 8 of the periods.
If you are interested in the subject of valuations, I have published several research articles, all of which should be fairly understandable without a deep mathematics background:
Pfau, Wade D. "Withdrawal Rates, Savings Rates, and Valuation-Based Asset Allocation." Journal of Financial Planning, Vol. 25, No. 4 (April 2012), forthcoming.
Pfau, Wade D. "Long-Lerm Investors and Valuation-Based Asset Allocation." Applied Financial Economics. forthcoming. (revised version of "Revisiting the Fisher and Statman Study on Market Timing")
Pfau, Wade D. "Can We Predict the Sustainable Withdrawal Rate for New Retirees?" Journal of Financial Planning. Vol. 24, No. 8 (August 2011), 40-47. [blog summary]
Pfau, Wade D. "Safe Savings Rates: A New Approach to Retirement Planning over the Lifecycle." Journal of Financial Planning. Vol. 24, No. 5 (May 2011), 42-50. [blog summary] [story about the article from The Economist]

FridayOctober 19th 2012 11:13 am[ Leave A Comment | 6 people already have ]
Mom thought I did not feel good yesterday - I was more quiet, and mom was so worried, but today is fine. I am myself. She keeps my food dish in her drawer, so that during the night if I am hungry, I can jump on the dresser & have a few bites.. So far I have not vomited or anything for a week. Now that mom has gotten over her initial freak-out, things will get better I am sure. Mom is looking into Care Credit & stuff, otherwise, she will really save & I should be able to get my test in December if things go well. Thanks for the encouraging words about the pred. Mom was worried that it would make me diabetic in a short time, and she has sad memories of a dog she had in high school that got diabetes, and had to be sent to the bridge because the medical advances were not there at that time & he was very sick - so it brought up sad memories. Mom is a "planner" and needs to realize that not everything is controllable right now, and it will be ok. I mean, I am not worried about anything except when to smack my brothers. We thank you for all the thoughts & purrs. not sure - is this good news or bad? LONG POSTOctober 18th 2012 4:42 pm[ Leave A Comment | 15 people already have ]
Mom will write my diary today cause she has alot to say... xray scheduledOctober 12th 2012 11:43 am[ Leave A Comment | 5 people already have ]
I go for my xray on Tuesday afternoon. Mom is going to Petco tomorrow to really look at a bunch of food. One that I really seemed to like & stayed down is Halo chicken pate wet food. However it does have spinach in it. What to do... That is the bad thing, I am soooo picky - I know it makes mom crazy. I would love to eat the really cheap food too, but mom says NO! (I always try to tear open the bag of food that the outdoor kitties get) thanksOctober 11th 2012 5:11 pm[ Leave A Comment | 4 people already have ] thanks for all your good thoughts. I will be going for my xray next week. Mom is even more convinced it is an allergy or IBD. Today we got a treat wet food - Friskies tuna with egg. It is not the best, but we all LOVE it & only get it once in a while every few months. Well, I ate mine, came in the kitchen and promptly gave it right back to mom on the floor. Mom also noticed that when the vet had me on the stupid prescription stuff cause my urine was concentrated - I would upchuck it more, and then I didn't want it. So that is why she took me off it & back to Nature's Variety. That could be why I lost cause I wouldn't eat it. I don't seem to get sick as much, but mom has noticed that with some of the wet food sometimes I spit up a little bit. This is gonna be really tough because I am UBER picky & refuse quite alot of foods. Mom says I am only gonna get the Nature's Variety for right now, that's it. We will let you know what the results are from the xray. Mom says she wished she could have just done it when we were there, but she did not have enough funds, and they will not let you pay later. So another trip for me. But thanks for the well wishes, they mean alot. next stepOctober 9th 2012 1:43 pm[ Leave A Comment | 7 people already have ] well my blood work came out completely normal - no kidney issues, no liver issues, no infection..nuttin. Which are good things. So the vet wants to tke an xray, because she suspects either a food allergy or mild IBD - she also wants to rule out the C word - but mom is pretty positive that it is not that - I am bouncing around even more than usual, and happily smacking the boys whenever possible. For some reason, I do not smack Felix...I kinda seem to like the little fella. So mom is planning to make the appt this week or beginning of next as soon as the $ are there. We will keep you posted. not sure what is upOctober 5th 2012 2:34 pm[ Leave A Comment | 2 people already have ] Well, my weight stayed the same for a month - which is good - at least Mom thinks so. I don't act sick at all - I have been playing even more than usual too - bright eyed & bushy tail, so Mom doesn't know what to make of it - but it is best to be sure. The vet did a blood test today to see if it shows anything. Mom says depending on that if we do an xray. Hoping that they find nothing, or something with an easy fix. What?August 27th 2012 7:46 am[ Leave A Comment | 5 people already have ] Mom saw me playing with the usurper. I was on the rocking chair seat, and he was under neath it. We were playing pawtap. Ok Mom I was attempting to smack the snot out of him...yeah that is it...never mind that I was also playing with him with the milk ring & chirped at him...I WAS NOT playing with the cute little...ahem the usurper. EESH MOM...I am the queen round here, all bow before me, even The Dad ...but Felix is pretty cute, somehow I find I cannot even growl at him...so I save it for Smitty & Tigger instead....but this is NOT admitting weakness whatsoever....for...the...cute...little tyke... ahem HISSS. there see? I hiss therefore I am...sigh another usurperAugust 23rd 2012 3:05 pm[ Leave A Comment | 4 people already have ] I truly cannot believe that mom let yet ANOTHER usurper in my house. Although I guess he is not so bad...he dutifully gives me wide berth when he walks by as he should. He does not object when I eat the rest of his kitten food - he had best not...but he did inspire me to play with a milk ring again. The human sister that first brought me home was here from far away. We have special games of I growl at you but still let you pet me that we play & I always am sure to growl at her perfectly so that she knows I remember her. Mom was really happy for the time she was here. I must be sure to sleep by her tonite, cause sister went back to the far away place & mom was so very sad when she came back from the airport. Don't worry momma, I am here for always, and I will let you brush me to help you feel better. ok I will even try to be nice to that scrap of fur you insisted on letting come in here. purrs Her Royal Highness Miss Maizy Cat cake..I love cake....cakety cakety cakeAugust 5th 2012 11:29 am[ Leave A Comment | 2 people already have ] Thank you all our friends for the yummy cakes. I love cake - I just hear the word and you have my full attention. Did I mention I love cake? Mom tried to give some out to our pals, and the gift store would not load, and then the next day they were no longer free, and we do not have THAT many zealies. So please know we were going to deliver a bunch of catnip n tuna cakes, but could not. HISSHISS thanks so much though. sighhh cake.... Gotcha my sweet girlJune 10th 2012 8:01 am[ Leave A Comment | 3 people already have ] While this is a few days past your gotcha day, it still holds lots of love. Several times the beginning of that summer, human sister brought kitties home from work at the shelter to "watch" over the weekends. Of course they were all adorable. Then one day she walked in with this shoebox...that was making this little teeny mewing sound. She said "Mom, this one is only a week old. The guy that found her was trying to feed her, but it was too much for him so he brought her into the shelter, and without us, she won't make it..but it will be a long foster until she gets big enough to spay & go up for adoption." Well, I took 1 look under that blanket, and my heart melted. That little face, so scared & needing love....I was hooked right then. So we took turns every 2 hours, feeding you with an eye dropper. Then you learned to drink from a little bottle. I wiped your hiney to help you go potty, I cleaned your little face. Along the way, I totally fell completely in love with you. As you got bigger, your tough little personality came through. You growled when you ate, you stole a bite from a sandwich, and you definitely did not like very many people. We kept on loving you so you knew you did not have to growl, that food would always be there. Then came time for you to be spayed & to give you up. There was no way I was gonna let you go my sweet girl. When I took you to get spayed, I cried all the way home - I was afraid to leave you, that you would forget me. You were crying in the cage when I had to leave. I had to wait 2 days - what if something went wrong? what if they put you up for adoption instead of holding you for me? They were 2 of the longest days. When they brought you out to me, you mewed to me so loud, and grabbed my neck. Even the lady there got all teary as I cried holding on to you. As the years have gone by, I learned what you like, what you don't, where you like to be scritched the best. You made The Dad into a cat lover, and every night, you sleep right by my legs. I hope to have many many more years with you my sweet kitty-girl. You have brought such joy into my life, and even though I know you would probably be happy to be an only cat, you tolerate the boys just for me. Momma loves you so very much my Maizy-cat! |

At the same time, poptimism illuminated the degree to which the politics of pop criticism is at loose ends. Writers have historically treated the music as a stand-in for liberation politics, be they sexual (Lou Reed), racial (Chuck Berry), working-class (Bruce Springsteen), or feminist (Ani DiFranco). Poptimism torpedoed such efforts to distinguish politically good music from bad. It also roped in performers whose manipulation of violence, gender, and race don't fit the standard liberation narrative: Eminem (modern-day Bob Dylan or homophobic misogynist?), Beyoncé (feminist or debased sex toy?), the whole genre of gangster rap (black male empowerment or hyper-capitalist-racial dystopia?). This expansion of the critical canvas, not so coincidentally, put the fun back in pop criticism. What it could not do was define a function for professional critics now that so much of their political ballast had been thrown overboard.
One solution is to focus more intently on musicality. Sasha Frere-Jones in particular has brought a musician's expertise to his writing at The New Yorker. His 2007 essay on Mariah Carey's vocal range is an impressive example of this kind of explanatory journalism. But most critics—even those with a grounding in musical theory—are not musicians. For them, limiting the conversation to the technical facility of a pop star is, as Powers pointed out, a little like thinking about a painting as blue.
No, pop music is about the zeitgeist, and pop-music criticism was invented to reveal and critique it. So what can Powers make of the fifteen-year-old girl and the girl's mother she observed at the Los Angeles Forum, singing along to Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger's lascivious lyrics? Just a few years ago, a band like Nickelback would most likely have been dismissed as too commercial, artistically banal, and politically repugnant to warrant critical attention. Now Powers was determined to crack the cultural code of the band, the genre (which she dubbed Flyover Rock), the girl, the fans, and the middle-class world they inhabited.
Her solution was deep reporting. She interviewed the band, the producers, marketers, fellow critics, and social historians—not to mention the girl's mother. The argument she staked out was that Flyover Rock creates a fantasy space out of time and political context, in which fans suspend their awareness of real-world tensions. In such an environment, she suggested, an otherwise discerning middle-aged mother can enjoy sexually explicit music with her teenage daughter, without attaching any political or even social meaning to it.
The veracity of Powers's argument is almost secondary to the case her method makes for the authority of professional criticism. The depth of her reporting distinguishes it from the opinion-driven environment of the blogosphere, where her initial, flawed assumptions about the band and its politics would have found a natural home. And she breaks newspaper convention—which typically makes clear distinctions between news and social criticism—by delivering an authoritative appraisal of how the culture is working. What she didn't do, as she might have done at the Voice in the early 1990s, was zero in on the band's troubling gender politics.
Many writers who share Powers's ambition to use mass culture to develop social arguments have taken refuge in the universities, where they may find it easier to examine the political implications of their research. Josh Kun, for instance, is a professor of journalism and American studies and the director of The Popular Music Project at the University of Southern California. In his book, Audiotopia: Music, Race, and America, he contends that pop music remains a powerful medium of political and cultural opposition in Mexican immigrant communities.
Kun begins his book with a scene of Los Tigres del Norte singing their Mexican-American liberation anthem, "Mis Dos Patrias" ("My Two Homelands"), in the courtroom after their naturalization ceremony. He then proceeds to place the song in the context of California's immigration debate, which came to a head with the 1994 passage of Proposition 187, which denied health and education benefits to undocumented workers. Kun's argument: thanks to current immigration policy, Latinos are formulating a political identity in which they see themselves as in, but not of, America.
Like his journalistic colleagues, Kun is still experimenting with the use of pop music as a tool for contemporary cultural analysis. In many cases, he starts with a specific song, then excavates the historical, cultural, political, and human arguments around it. At the moment, though, it's easy for such individual efforts to get lost in the media sprawl.

My PB does not acid wash a pebble finish before filling the pool with water. Instead, he adds acid after the pool is filled with water calling it an acid bath. I have been brushing for two weeks now and have not been able to use the pool at all. At this point, all I do is brush and I am seeing minimal results. When is it too late to drain the pool and do an acid wash? How long should I have to brush? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Acid baths do no work, and you can brush forever, its not going to expose the pebble, until you move out of the house. |
Low PH startups are good for alot of plaster materials, but for pebble, it has to be acid washed to expose the agg. |
just is right - i did low ph startup for diamonbrite - worked beautifully - nice smooth plaster. but pebbles need a wash. pb should do it immediately. |
- Posted by paradigmdawg (My Page) on Sat, Aug 29, 09 at 11:00
That stinks. I was swimming the day after acid wash and haven't stopped since then. MY PT turned out great even though most members on here say that they added salt too soon. |
- Posted by lindsey_ca (My Page) on Sat, Aug 29, 09 at 14:25
GoldenBeach, If you truly have PebbleTec or PebbleSheen, and not a knock-off brand, the pool builder absolutely should have done an acid wash before filling the pool. Contact Pebble Technologies, Inc., and they'll make your PB do it. |
- Posted by goldenbeach (My Page) on Sat, Aug 29, 09 at 20:24
Thanks for the comments. I do not have the PebbleTec brand but a different mini pebble aggregate by Magic Marcite. But if it takes an acid wash to expose pebble aggregate, wouldn't the acid wash be required on all brands, not just the PebbleTec brand? They keep wanting me to brush the "butter" off the plaster saying the brushing will eventually expose the aggregate. Will it? |
An acid bath is really hard to pull off and requires constant attention. Hopefully, your PB has done this before. For an acid bath to work, TA has to be kept near 0 and PH very low so constant addition of acid is required. If not, it will never work. Also, don't run the pump while the PH/TA is that low or you risk damage to the equipment. |
- Posted by goldenbeach (My Page) on Sun, Aug 30, 09 at 8:57
PB says this is the way he does it and it will look fine in about a year. He says he doesn't acid wash because it makes it streaky. He has added a gallon of acid twice in two weeks for approx 15,000 gallon pool. Don't think he is testing the water. Also, the 4x160 pump and cartridge filter have been running on speed 3 constantly since it was filled. What should I do at this point? |
It sounds like he really isn't doing a true acid bath but occasionally is lowering PH and TA to make the water slightly aggressive. After addition of the acid is probably the best time to brush the sides. This may not be damaging to the equipment but it could be depending on the levels and length of time. Do you have a heater? What type of filter do you have? Also, post a set of test results now and a set soon after he adds the acid. PH TA CH CYA |
Our PB did an acid wash after putting the Pebble finish plaster. Look at out thread " Our new Pool build in Jacksonville, FL" We went swimming while the pool was being filled and we have been keeping the PH very low while scrubbing daily. You can see that our pebbles are comming out the more we scrub. We will be turning to salt the end of next week. It will be 28 or 29 days and our PB says that that is close enough to 30 days which is needed to fully cure the plaster. I hope this helps, our pool looks better every day. I have not posted any up to date pics but you can see what it looked like a week later. Hope this helps. |
- Posted by goldenbeach (My Page) on Sun, Aug 30, 09 at 22:35
Mas, PB gave me a basic chlorine/ph test kit so I am not able to test the levels as you suggest. I will try to get the appropriate test kit this week. Heater is not yet connected and filter is Pentair Clean & Clear Plus 520. Thanks for your help. I am considering requesting/demanding PB drain the pool and acid wash but I don't want to ruin the plaster by using a different acid method than was started. Is it too late to switch from acid bath to acid wash? |
goldenbeach, it is my understanding that you can acid wash as many times as you wish. We had little foot prints from bathing in the pool while it was being filled up and he said that we would just acid wash to get rid of them, however they have gradually disappeared as we continue to brush it. My PB says that if we want more pebbles to show he would acid wash again, however he recommends that we give the pool 6mths or so for it to settle. I hope this helps. |

PB says this is the way he does it and it will look fine in about a year. Are you going to have to wait a year before it looks OK. Thats insane. Any pics of the finish. |
- Posted by goldenbeach (My Page) on Thu, Sep 3, 09 at 20:08
Well it's been three weeks since plastering and we haven't been able to swim at all. We only get to brush and it's not too productive. Someone did come by this week to test the water and it was TA zero, PH 7, CA 80. What does this mean? |
It means that he has enough acid to do a true acid bath. Although I am a bit suspicious that the PH is so high with a TA of 0. I suspect that the TA isn't 0. Did they use a test kit or strips? If the test results are correct, the water is fairly corrosive at this point which is what you want to dissolve the plaster. It just may take a while and a lot of acid to get the results you want. I hope the PB doesn't intend to run the pool for a year this way. When does he plan on balancing the water so you can actually swim, now that the swim season is almost over? |
- Posted by goldenbeach (My Page) on Thu, Sep 3, 09 at 22:38
I saw him use a test kit. Is this corrosive enough to be harming the pump and filter? He hasn't said when he plans to balance the water. But when the water is finally balanced, does balanced water mean the acid bath is over and the plaster is as dissolved as it will ever be and the pebbles as exposed as they will ever be? |
If the PH is too low for too long it can affect the pump seals and even the PVC although PVC has some resistance to acidic conditions. Some valves with rubber seals might have a problem as well. A PH of 7 is fine but I suspect it gets much lower than that when the acid is added. The filter should be ok as long as there isn't any suntain oil in the water. It hardens in acidic conditions on the filter. BTW, what type of filter do you have? Also, once he balances the water, it will pretty much be as good as it gets although over time, a bit more of the stone may be exposed. Anyway, I think your PB is taking a big risk running the pool that way for too long. The problem is that it may shorten the life of some of the pump seals but you won't see that for several years down the road when the PB is long gone. Luckily it is not too difficult to replace them if it becomes a problem. He may have done this many times before but I doubt he has had to deal with the aftermath that this may have caused. I would get a detailed schedule from him when he plans on balancing the water and installing the heater. |
Have you called "Magic Marcite" to see what their recomendations are. If this is truly a pebble/cement mixture then you can brush till your blue and not burn off that cream. |
I have been following this thread as we have yet to have our pebble finish applied. The product our PB's plaster company uses is what I believe to be a "true pebble finish" as it is a brand name product from CLI called CrystalStones - Natural (http://www.clindustries.com/pool_finishes/crystalstones.php) . This manufacturer specifies an "acid bath" start-up procedure (http://www.aquavations.com/docs/CLI-Aquavations-SU.pdf). Do any PBs out there have experience doing a start-up with this product using the acid bath method with good results? I am concerned because of "just-a-pb's" last post. Is there a conflict here with this product's methods vs. others' pebble products out there? Is there anything I can do to ensure the best end result possible? Thanks. |
When I do an acid bath, the pool equipment is off. I use a couple pool poles stretched across the deep end. I tie a cheap above ground pool cover pump to the middle and let it drop to about 18" from the bottom and turn it on. It tends to spin in a circle, circulating the low pH water and brush daily. This usually works well for plaster cures, Diamond Brite, and other non pebble aggregate finishes and also removes many stubborn stains. I will do this for up to two weeks before rebalancing and restarting the pool. Scott |

I have called the company and they have stated that some PBs do prefer an acid bath to an acid wash. If I had known then what I know now, I would have requested the acid wash rather than the acid bath. The acid bath takes daily monitoring and chemical adjustment by the homeowner or PB. At the point of plastering, the homeowner doesn't know enough about pool chemistry to monitor an acid bath and the PB is not going to come to the pool on a daily basis to do the monitoring and adjustment. Further, I believe the lack of a proper acid bath has caused my plaster to turn dark. What was once bright blue has now turned a dull blue/grey and doesn't even look like the sample piece. I have yet to get any chlorine (been 3 weeks) so I don't know if the chlorine will take the drab, dark gray look from the plaster. Although I can do an acid wash now, will it restore the blue color plaster base I had in the first few days or has the color change soaked into the plaster? Further, I can only hope my equipment has not been damaged. I would not recommend the acid bath if you have a choice. |
Hi Goldenbeach-- I would like to follow-up directly with you and compare notes, so to speak, as I am having similar exposure issues with my CLI Crystal Stones finish. Would you be willing to e-mail me off-forum at firstname.lastname@example.com. I was told I was getting an acid wash--but the I'm not sure if it was a true acid wash since the PB still wanted me to add 5 gallons of Muriatic Acid afterwards (25,000 gallon pool). I have a contact at CLI and perhaps together we can get some advice as to the best way to proceed post application so that we can get the PB/Application to do a best fix in our situations. I hoping if the company realized that PBs/applicators are not doing their product justice it will hurt their product's reputation and their business. Also, you mention your plaster color changing . . . what color plaster did you choose? Mine is also darkening, but I assumed this was normal due to the curing process. |
- Posted by goldenbeach (My Page) on Thu, Oct 8, 09 at 16:15
Hey njfolks-- The link you posted earlier is basically the start-up procedure recommended by the National Plaster Council for plaster. It is no where near this so-called "acid bath." I wonder what the Council recommends for plaster which requires the exposing of aggregate. My guess is that pebble finishes are supposed to be acid washed with the aggregate exposed prior to water filling, and then follow the NPC guidelines after that. But since pre-fill acid washing requires a certain degree of skill and the outcome is totally applicator dependent, PBs don't want to take any chances; they just throw alot of acid into the filled pool, and call it an "acid bath" start-up. It does expose the aggregate to a certain degree, but who knows what else it is doing to the plaster and the equipment. And who knows what the finish would have looked like had it been properly acid washed and started up according to the guidelines. Until I see some NPC or manufacturer recommended guidelines specifically for exposing the aggregate of pebble finishes, it is my opinion that PBs are pretty much just making up their own start-up procedure when it comes to pebble finishes. |
"but who knows what else it is doing to the plaster and the equipment" This is a big one, I am not concerned so much with the equipment, but I feel that these "acid baths" tend to degrade the cement much more than a acid wash. |
Hi Goldenbeach-- Yeah-- they're pretty much making it up. While this may be an industry practice, it is not the manufacturer's recommended procedure. Check this out. I found similar instructions online for your product, coincidently when I did the search for mine. Again, recommending acid wash and some other very specific instructions during the application process. I will go back and see if I can find that link and post it for you if you don't already have that info. Here's for the product we used: http://www.aquavations.com/docs/CS Product Data.pdf I previously read this but had to research it again to find the document. I asked the construction manager if they were going to do an acid wash, and was under the impression they were going to do it per manufacturer's recommendation as stated in the document in the above link. I knew I would have to "gently brush" for "about 2 weeks" and was also told I couldn't use the heater during that time. No problem considering we were doing this in mid-September due to many (unnecessary) delays. If I were a violent type (which I definitely am not) I would say something like "I am just about ready to wring someone's neck!" I am approaching the end of the 28 days and the pebble exposure is still less than ideal. But then again, my I can barely type and lifting my arms is painful, particularly my right one after another daily routine of 4 hours + of rigorous brushing! The reason I am making to effort tonight again is because I realize there is very little recourse from the manufacturer if your plaster company is not a "factory trained & authorized" installer. Even if they are there is too much if a chance that your PB or mine won't do anything to make it better as this would involve additional cost on their part--probably the incentive for them not to do it the manufacturer's recommended way the first time around. The product (no matter how good it is itself) is going to suffer from this type of exposure technique IMHO. I was totally caught off-guard on this one thinking I had asked and gotten the answer I needed that it was going to be "acid-washed". I would have never agreed to this alternative procedure due to my age and health condition it has been a real pain in the neck . . . and every other body part --literally!!! I addressed this disappointment with the plaster applicator at about the 2 week mark and was told they might be able to do something about it in the Spring (he would check with his boss). So far, no update on that. I am not holding my breath-- neither am I waiting for anyone to take any action to improve the situation and have just continued to do what I have figured out results in some improvement. Again, E-mail me if you wish to compare notes. I try to do my homework ahead of time and I hate being blind-sided. I feel mislead about the process by the PB and will be letting them know that again I expect on day 29!. The day of the plastering I was told by the sub that he wasn't going to do the full exposure with acid because it would streak the darker blue colored plaster. I don't know if there is any credence to this, but there are no caveats in the manufacturer's instructions. I did notice a change in the color of the plaster anyway as it is curing it is getting darker and often appears grayer. This is not so much of an issue for me but the inability to even get in the sub 60 degree water and trying to get to the bare or under-exposed spots in virtually unreachable locations is killing me (almost literally)!!! |

The Kentucky State Police are conducting a death investigation after a logging accident resulted in the death of a Cub Run man May 12 in Marion County.
John Miller, 29, died after he was struck in the head by a dead tree top while logging in the Sulphur Lick Road area. Miller was pronounced dead at the scene by the Marion County coroner.
Trooper Clint Walker is conducting the investigation.
Donnie R. Johnson Jr., 19, of 783 Howard Avenue in Lebanon was indicted in Marion Circuit Court last week for criminal attempt to commit murder (two counts), first-degree wanton endangerment (two counts) and first-degree criminal mischief.
According to the indictment, on or about April 21, Johnson shot at Timmon Hayden and Tonya Gootee with the intent to kill them. The indictment also reads that Johnson manifested extreme indifference to human life by engaging in conduct, which created substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to at least two other people.
The Lebanon Enterprise has filed a response in a defamation lawsuit filed by former Marion County Agriculture Extension Agent Ed Lanham.
Lanham filed a civil defamation lawsuit March 20 against state livestock inspector David Thompson, The Lebanon Enterprise and Donald Brockman, a Campbellsville veterinarian who examined Lanham's horses after a March 21, 2008, search warrant was served.
Attorney R. Keith Bond previously filed a reply on Brockman's behalf. Attorney Ashley Pack filed the reply on behalf of the Enterprise May 11.
Jordan Sims checked the angle of the bronze Napoleon canon. It was on target, so he raised his arms much like a referee signaling a touchdown. The canon was ready to fire.
Sims, 6, was part of a team that simulated the firing of the Civil War era canon under the guidance of re-enactors portraying the 12th United States Colored Heavy Artillery, one of the African-American Army units formed at Camp Nelson.
A Memorial Day program will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 24, at the Lebanon National Cemetery. The event is being hosted by VFW Post 5910.
State Rep. Jimmy Higdon will be the guest speaker during this year's event.
Ben Ford will serve as the master of ceremonies.
The Marion County High School ROTC and band and the Marion County Veterans Honor Guard will be participating in the ceremony.
Local Boy and Girl Scout troops will be decorating the gravestones for the day's events.
Marion County Judge/Executive John G. Mattingly said many animal producers are helping protect water supplies and the general public by participating in the county's dead animal removal service.
While Mattingly appreciates the participation, he also urged producers to make sure their animals are dead before requesting the service.
Marion District Judge Amy Anderson has denied a motion on behalf of former Marion County agriculture extension agent Ed Lanham Jr. to suppress evidence found during a search of his property March 20, 2008.
That search was conducted by David Thompson of the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, and it led to a search warrant being served on Lanham's property March 21, 2008.
In the aftermath of that search, Lanham was indicted in May of 2008 for tampering with physical evidence and second-degree cruelty to animals.
Saturday afternoon the 12th United States Colored Heavy Artillery will return to central Kentucky.
The unit - or rather Civil War re-enactors portraying the unit - will set up camp at Centre Square May 16, for the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Juneteenth Celebration.
"Celebrating Lebanon's African Civil War Soldier" will take place from 1-3 p.m. on Johnston Field behind the convention center.
Junior Adams of the Cardinal Den visited the Lebanon City Council Monday to request a change to the city's Sunday alcohol sales ordinance.
"It didn't help me any even though I worked on this thing kind of hard," he said.
Adams said he also spoke with people at the Lebanon Country Club, and they had the same concerns.
Federal stimulus package money will provide $3.7 million to be used to build a connector route in Marion County. This was one of three projects approved April 24 by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet awards committee.
According to the announcement from the governor's office, Nally and Haydon Surfacing LLC will receive the grant. The stimulus money will be used to extend the Lebanon bypass from US 68 to Industrial Drive in Lebanon.

Taleban attack on US guesthouse kills Afghan girl
Published on Mar 29, 2014 1:09 AM
KABUL (AFP) - Taleban militants on Friday attacked a Kabul guesthouse used by a US anti-landmine charity, killing two people including one girl as gunfire and explosions rocked the Afghan capital one week before the presidential election.
A terrified group of foreigners, including several young children, briefly took shelter behind a generator on the street as Afghan special force commandos fought militants for more than three hours.
"One small Afghan girl, who was a passer-by, has been killed. We managed to safely evacuate 31 foreign nationals from inside the building," Kabul police chief Mohammad Zaher told AFP.
The interior ministry spokesman said one driver had also been killed.
