OK, now this could be fun. And when was the last time anyone said that about the LPGA Tour and really meant it?
Surely you could not have watched Michelle Wie's unabashed joy after coming from four strokes back in the final round Saturday to win the LPGA Lotte Championship and not feel the surge of energy currently coursing through women's golf.
If 19-year-old Lexi Thompson's first major championship two weeks ago at the Kraft Nabisco gave the tour, presently chock full of prodigies, a real reason to be optimistic about the future, then Wie's victory gave it a jolt from the past.
Michelle Wie's first victory on U.S. soil was worthy of a champagne celebration.
Playing in her native Hawaii, the 24-year-old earned her third career tour victory and first on U.S. soil, almost shocking for those of us who remember well when Wie played in the final group of the Kraft Nabisco at age 13 and soon after became golf's "It Girl." Read More>>

I switched from Select Moisture Cover to this one. Bought NW35 and i was surprised that the shade is a tad lighter than Select Moisture Cover NW35 has anyone else notice this? Either way its perfect it conceals my acne marks and other dark spots on my face. Im on my first week and Im hoping I wont break out :)
To be honest, this concealer is just, ehh. It's horrible for under your eyes as it cakes horribly, and I'm not sure about putting it on blemishes. Since I do have a lot of blemishes spotted on my face, I need to cover them up every day, and this concealer is honestly just hard to work with. It's quite runny, clings onto every dry spot, and has ehhh coverage. It also has a tendency to oxidize if you try to build up the coverage, which can be quite infuriating. It's good for covering small acne scars but thats about it. And don't get me started on the packaging, oh lord. Who decided it was a good idea to put a giant pump on a CONCEALER? Every time i have to pump it onto the back of my hand, wayyyy too much comes out, and you can't control the amount that you want. I end up wiping most of it off my hand, and I've been using it everyday for about 4 months and it's already almost empty, whereas my tarte concealer (which actually has less product in it) I've been using under my eyes for a year and there's still half left. I do have to admit that it does stay on for quite a while at least, and it isn't as horrible as some concealers I've tried, but it didn't live up to my expectations at all. I'll finish it up, but I won't be repurchasing

Best concealer ever! I use NW20 half a pump blended under my eyes with the real techniques delux crease brush. I pair it with the elf under eye setting powder and the Mac face and body foundation in C2 and im good to go

Best liquid concealer I have used. BUT there are quite a few negative aspects to it..
1. It makes my 'what I thought was', clean and pimple-free face, break out like mad. It's okay if use it once in a while on my cheeks, but I can't wear it for an everyday-use. Which sucks, because it really does a good job! I can use it to cover up my dark circles, tho. It's the only place the pimples stays away.
2. Smells like horseshit. Sorry, I hate to be an a-hole. The concealer has this unpleasant, chemical smell to it.
3. The pump from hell. It's basically useless, and squeezes out WAY to much product at a time. Have to store the rest of the concealer-mess in a little box, so I won't waste half of it.
Final summation:
The MAC Pro Longwear Concelear and I, have a love/hate-relationship. It's complicated, but we seem to work it out.
I never never review on makeupalley and I've been going on this site for five years but I guess it's time that I give my first review to MAC's prolongwear concealer! I have very oily skin so almost nothing lasts on my face and I've tried almost all the concealers out there but this one has my heart! I always go back to this concealer because it covers my dark circles very well and stays all day. I'm in nursing school and I barely have time to put make up on so when I'm in a rush I thrown this on, do my brows, mascara, and a little blush and I'm ready to go!!! Even on clinical days where I still want to look put together, MAC prolongwear concealer still makes feel beautiful through my 7-3 shifts nursing shifts! This is a little pricey but it's worth investing in. Mind you this is one of the cheapest "high end" concealer in the market therefore it's worth every penny especially if you're a broke student on a budget.
To my oily skinned ladies who are doubtful about this concealer, trust me it is worth everything!

I love this concealer, it covers acne/blemishes/redness very well, also blends easily and stays put all day. I have pretty fair skin(cool toned) and the color match was perfect, mac has a wide range of shades so if your looking to purchase this I'm sure you'd find a good shade match! My only complaint, as others have mentioned, is the pump...the concealer is very concentrated and you don't need a lot but the pump sticks and I usually end up with too much so you have to be very careful when using. I decided to try something different so I bought some nars creamy radiant concealer and although it works well, it does not cover as well as the Mac Pro long wear concealer.

The fact that I'm about to give this a great review speaks volumes for the quality of the product, because normally if something had packaging as bad as this guy does, I would not be able to give it over 2 lippies. As other reviewers have mentioned, the pump is terrible. It's shocking that it made it past the development stage, let alone that it's never been updated. I'm looking into maybe decanting it into a tub of some sort, because I waste half the product that comes out of the bottle every morning.
Packaging aside! I'm on a bit of a MAC kick over here. I've been using the Studio Fix Powder plus Foundation and have been loving it so much that I decided to trade in my old concealer (Kat von Dee - we had a good run, but the texture was no longer working for me - and Benefit Erase Paste for under eyes, which I hated because it had zero staying power on me) for a MAC one. I chose Pro Longwear over their others purely based on MUA reviews, and I'm so glad I did. I love that the product is so thin, but still offers really great coverage - my problem with my existing concealers was that they tended to cake around my dry skin (dry due to acne prescriptions, so when I say dry, I mean it). I apply this with a small brush to the dark spots that I want to cover up. I will say that for my areas of really intense hyperpigmentation, it does take two coats to cover, but again, it's so thin that it's easy to build it up and not have it look very obvious.
I also use this under my eyes - I normally use a separate concealer for that area, but I decided to give this a go and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I have cartoon-character big eyes, so I have those lovely creases all of the time underneath them, as well as hereditary dark spots. While there is some creasing, it's nowhere near what I've dealt with with other concealers. And it also actually covers! It's unfortunate that it doesn't have a brightening aspect to it, but I'm willing to let that go for actual day-long coverage. As a note, I always set it with MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation.
I definitely recommend this as a high-coverage concealer for spots and undereye circles. At $17, it's certainly not cheap, but there are definitely less quality concealers that will run you significantly more money. I had to take a lippie off because of the packaging - a five star product in one star packaging.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this concealer. I tried studio fix and it really is full coverage but it always creased on me no matter how I applied it. This is perfect for no creasing. It blends super easily and is quite full coverage. When I say this doesn't budge, this DOES NOT budge. Super long wearing. My only complaints are the packaging. You really don't need a lot of product & the pump tends to give you way too much, and I also have issues with the smell. It smells acidic to me or something, but it fades after it sets in. Still, even with those little complaints I will continue to repurchase this. Use it for everyday with Mac face and body and it looks FLAWLESS. C3 in face and body for reference. NC30 for this concealer.
I love this product, don't get me wrong! I love many mac products too!, especially the select cover up concealer. I used to hear so many good reviews on the mac pro longwear,and one day i saved my money and ran to buy it! i can agree with everyone, this concealer covers up so much! doesnt look cakey! its the perfect deal. However, after a few uses of this product i realised that it started to break me out, i didnt want to stop using it because i had loved it so much. i didnt even want to believe that that was what was causing my skin to break out, but once i stopped using it, my skin cleared up a little. Despite that, i would say that it is my favorite concealer and every few months i give it a go just to see if it will break me out again.
The pricing of this product is not too cheap and as a 17 year old, its pretty hard to afford it. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the packaging, many people say that they hate the pump because it gives out lots of concealer, just put a few pumps in a little pot and use as much as you want.
If i ran out of this concealer i wouldnt buy it again, despite my love for it! :)

Ahh, the December holidays are here again, and there's much to be thankful for. Perhaps you will have some vacation time, or the opportunity to be surrounded by family and friends, or maybe just the chance to slow down for a little while.
And sometimes… Sometimes the holidays get a little stressful.
Shopping, cooking, managing various personalities at gatherings, work, traffic – not a relaxed aah.., but a crazed AHH!
What to do?
Actually, there's plenty you can do. It starts and ends with balance. Here are some tips that may be helpful:
- be sure to get at least 7 hours of sleep each night
- try to get a little extra done each day, whether at work or shopping, so you're not rushed
- create space for quiet time every day, maybe 10-15 minutes, when you can think about the meaning of the season and prepare yourself – body, mind and spirit – for an important time of reflection and gratitude
- give – you're likely already used to giving, but give just a little bit more, even if you're personally being challenged in some way. We better ourselves when we take the opportunity to help those less fortunate, and help create a better world by doing so.
- limit your intake of caffeine and alcohol
Whatever your perspective, it's a glorious time of year – a time for peace, for reflection, for gratitude, for giving, and for being good to yourself.
Have a joyous holiday season. And be well.

Greg Chappell paid no respect to the egos and kicked butt all around. But he overdid it and got booted out himself.
Greg Chappell on Tuesday denied Sachin Tendulkar's claim that the Australian had asked the Indian legend to replace then skipper Rahul Dravid prior to the 2007 World Cup.
Aerospace & building systems giant United Technologies announced the abrupt retirement of CEO Louis Chenevert, & named CFO Greg Hayes as his successor
It was surprising to see cynicism from some to Sachin Tendulkar's account of Greg Chappell's stormy tenure in his autobiography.
Former India batsman VVS Laxman saying today that the Australian took "Indian cricket backwards" during his two-year tenure as the national cricket team's coach.
"Chappell destroyed Indian cricket to such an extent that it required at least 3 years to again get back on track", Harbhajan said.
Dravid said that it has been seven years (since 2007) since that World Cup and it doesn't make much of a difference to him.
Chappell, who coached India between 2005 and 2007, rubbished Tendulkar's claim, saying he "never contemplated" such a move.

Just wondering if anyone knows of an equivalent yarn to Bernat Pipsqueak?
The colours of Pipsqueak are so ordinary!
Any help would be much appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
This site sells the yarn and explains the content. Not sure what yarn can be used instead. http://www.herrschners.com/product.aspx?sku=012059P &utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&keyword=g+bernat+pipsqueak+yarn+e&gclid=CK6y3_2g5K4CFYNx4AodUklCWQ Hope this helps and good luck. |
Thanks jjknitter. I checked with Herrschners also. Before Bernat put pipsqueak on the market, they released the yarn in a variety of the most beautiful colours. Now they have limited it to pink, blue, white and a few varigated colours. I'm looking for the colours! Thank you. |
Here is a site for Spinrite yarn which is the new owner of Bernat yarn-- http://www.bernat.com/ At end of page there is "Contact Us" and maybe they could help you. Wishing you the best of luck. |
Thanks so much! |

Re:Hum interesting (126 comments)

Propane or LNG (366 comments)
Change to Propane (110 octane) or LNG (octane 130). Though probably have to retrofit underwing or tip tanks (already some types on market). Both are much cheaper fuels, and engines could be made higher performance with higher compression ratios.
Re:Who's going to pay for it? (366 comments)
Turboprops are not more efficient.
Diesels get peak efficiencies of 40-45% at car sized, 45-48% at truck sized, 53% for biggest ships. Bump that up a little when operating in cold air at altitude. Small helicopter turboshafts and turboprops for light aircraft are typically 25% efficient. Even the biggest 777 turbofans are only about 40% efficient at sea level. though that rises to mid to high 40's at cruise altitude where it is -60C
Really might be a breakthrough (125 comments)
They have been doing demos at small scale, but to really pay out big it needs to be done at much larger scale - as the line drag becomes a smaller and smaller loss the bigger you go and the wind stronger the higher they get. Given that most of their challenges are control system related solving them in small scale means the scale up should be far less risky (flying kites is really really hard compared to aircraft etc due to dominating and unknowable future variance of wind speed and direction)
And if you look at it from a simple cost of materials point of view the systems will be far less than 10% the weight of the turbines they replace, while the wind power flux they can access is several times as high at the altitudes they are aiming at. They are predicting less than half the cost of existing wind energy, but might end up even lower.
Fundamentally there is nothing preventing 10's or even eventually 100's of MW per wing, and its a lot easier to stick out at sea or in other tricky geographical locations than trying to assemble the current huge turbines and their towers.
Re:Need to Be Careful (426 comments)
A very unflattering analysis of Rossi's latest:
Easy Steam Bomb (288 comments)
Get a duty free bottle of champagne, make a 100W heater element with some silicone sealant or an o-ring that you can insert into the top and lock in under high pressure.
Open bottle in toilet, insert heater, put in bag surrounded by insulating clothes inside a plastic bag to prevent release of burning smells. Hook into the onboard laptop power supply in your business class seat, wait about 8-10 hours.
Eventually steam pressure and temperature overwhelms bottle strength. Boom - equivalent of about 3-400g high explosive.
All airport security is obviously bullshit. Men can easily fit 1kg of high explosive up their arses if they are willing to practice, and women have more than one option for hiding such items beyond the view of all scanning.
Totally unworkable (115 comments)
Even if it was igniting and had good fusion gain, there are such a huge array of serious engineering issues that they have got no economic answers for that it is never going to work commercially. High precision optics in close proximity to nuclear blasts?? High precision targets that cost $10k (but would have to reduce to $0.25 to be commercial) being introduced into a plasma filled chamber at 15Hz that must be positioned with sub mm precision? May as well keep it running now for the materials side of things, but as much as possible fusion R&D budgets should be directed away from NIF and ITER (tokomaks are too big and too expensive to be commercially viable) and towards fusion options with at least some potential for commercial viability like:
General fusion (liquid metal implosion on plasma target), Tri-Alpha, Helion (electromagnetic compression of plasma toroids), Polywell (Inertial electrostatic confinement in a magnetised 'wiffleball' trap).
Also Fission in fast breeders provides a far more certain short term payoff, cheap, managable engineering issues, no nasty tritium to deal with and massively reducing radioactive waste compared to current non-breeding reactors. There is enough accessible Thorium and Uranium to power our civilisation at current levels until the sun kills the earth.
Re:Good luck with that (567 comments)
There must be a pretty good chance that USSR and perhaps also China have smuggled nukes into the USA and buried them near important strategic targets like the Pentagon, The Mall, and possibly even some major cities. To give an ultimate and anonymous 1st strike capability. Given how porous US borders are a competent govt backed group could pull this off with very low risk.
Re:"10 times more likely to be lost" (1121 comments)
Excellent, so at 1% for usps insurance, and with a product that has enormous markup on it (probably >80% for hipster shoes), this business will be profiting with 5% higher sales. Not to mention increasing their profile with their target market due to the religious persecution of the USPS.
God works in mysterious ways.
Re:Magnitude of effectiveness (112 comments)
So why does it appear that water vapour in the atmosphere (upper atmos) has been falling for the last 30 years even as global temperatures and CO2 have been increasing? Faults in the Data or in the Theory?
Just pay them off (330 comments)
The only reason that North Korea currently exists is to maintain a few 1000 top officials in relative wealth - but even that wealth is pretty poor compared to the West. If South Korea were to offer the top 10,000 officials in the north $1-100 million each (depending on position) + immunity from prosecution then they could probably reunify Korea within a year, and save themselves a lot of money in the long term.
Problem with paper (416 comments)
A number of reviewers have noted that the methodology is somewhat flawed in that the temporal resolution of the proxies used to reconstruct ancient temperatures is very low - up to 500 years, whereas the modern global temperature data that is appended to produce the hockeystick graph is at high resolution.
This, along with the averaging effect of combining numerous noisy proxy data streams has the effect of removing significant features such as the medieval, roman, minoan warming periods where temperatures rose by as much as 2C for periods of 1-300 years. It also removes similar long duration temperature dips.
So ultimately the picture presented of historical temperatures is not realistic, if we were to apply the same temporal low pass filtering to the modern temperature record as well you would not even see the recent temperature rise, and the little ice age would probably disappear as well. Eg look as Gisp2 ice core temp data for a reasonably good picture of historic temperatures:
shows same general trend as this paper, just preserves the frequent 1-500 year temp oscillations
Re:Resistance and temperature (133 comments)
There are quite a few other relatively cheap options below 77K. In particular using vacuum to lower the temperature of liquid Nitrogen is pretty easy and gets you to 64K with the nitrogen still a liquid. Same trick with liquid Oxygen (also dirt cheap) gets you to 55K and liquid Neon is about 25K (and when we run out of easily mineable Helium it will be cheaper than helium). Liquid Hydrogen can be used at down to 14K using evacuation (20K at atmospheric pressure).
Why no integrated Raid5 SSDs? (261 comments)
if SSDs were made up of several smaller swappable/replaceable SSD chunks in a Raid 5 or 6 setup then that would basically put a stop to unreliable SSDs by giving a recoverable failure mode. It might also make it more practical to use denser and cheaper but shorter life flash memory in the SSDs.
USA medical spend 15% of GDP, Europe 8-10% (201 comments)
US system is FUBAR, 50million uninsured, huge numbers of medical induced bankruptcies (for the heinous crime of being unlucky), lower life expectancy.
Nationalised single payer with optional extra private coverage is demonstrably cheaper and has (on average) better outcomes. Anyone with half a brain would get behind establishing it in the US. Oh and while you are at it do something about malpractice tort reform - the major cause of excessive medical costs.
Re:No time to train?! (97 comments)
They are planning a Mars fly-by so apart from the problem of providing life support for 500 days there is actually less deltaV required than for the Apollo moon missions because they don't need an extra 4.5km/s to land and takeoff from the moon's surface.
Almost all the fuel will be used at earth escape, and only minimal maneuvering thrust from there on so a modified dragon capsule is probably capable of doing the job. Launched on a Falcon Heavy rocket that might cost less than $200 million in total (costs $140 million for a Falcon 9 Dragon launch to LEO).
The dragon capsule can carry 6.6 tonnes of payload and is designed to survive in space for up to 2 years, so has more than enough capacity to support 2 people. And while some may claim that 2 people cannot survive in a capsule that big for a year and a half for psychological reasons, that is just bollocks - but it will be easier if they pick people with the right sort of temperament.
North Korea (167 comments)
1/ They have the bomb.
2/ They are desperate for money, and have few qualms, and seemingly little good judgement about doing whatever it takes to get money to maintain their fucked up internal power structure. $2 billion per year exports at moment, but $3 billion imports and $20 billion external debt
3/ There are numerous groups in the world who do not like the west (some 'terrorists', some countries) who could probably raise a few hundred million to a billion dollars to buy a nuclear bomb.
4/ Short of hitting them with a pre-emptive nuclear strike North Korea cannot be invaded/stopped without massive risk/destruction to South Korea, Japan, and possibly USA (nuclear weapons + ICBM), also huge danger from China if it comes to a shooting war/invasion.
Pretty good chance that North Korea will sell a bomb to someone to use on a western city. Iran and pakistan are also moderately dangerous. I wouldn't feel particularly safe living in coastal USA cities, or Israel for that matter in the next 20 years.
Problem for companies competing internationally (159 comments)
If your business has to pay more than offshore competitors for the tools it uses then you have a major problem.
Strong case could be made that any company that sells it's software at lower cost in other countries should be legislatively compelled to match that within your country, but would need someone powerful (like EU or WTO) to make it happen.
Re:Looking forward (154 comments)
Historically large differences in relative wealth (gini coefficients) are strongly correlelated with the breakdown of society and revolutions etc. The US is already pretty high in OECD terms, and has pretty appalling stats in access to health care incarceration rates, crime, educational outcomes for poor kids etc that tend to go along with having a high gini coefficient. You have a huge and growing pool of americans who have little to no real hope of being able to get their kids into even the middle class.
The Trust Fund Kids of the Walton family (Walmart) have a net worth equal to the poorest 90 million US Americans. (That absolutely staggers me).
Now assume for a moment that they have little or no interest, aptitude, or industriousness in using that capital in an efficient manner to grow further enterprises (ie improve the country) but simply want to live as emperors - I don't know if that is actually true, but in some cases it may be. Such colossally rich individuals who have not created that wealth themselves but have simply chosen their parents carefully are in effect a useless nouveau aristocracy.
That equity would be far better in the hands of hard working people further down the chain who could use it to start businesses, improve infrastructure, develop technology, educate their kids etc, but given the size of their money pile and the relatively small birth rates of today, there is a strong possiblity that their dynasty could maintain or even with minimal effort grow their total holdings as a proportion of GDP over the coming decades/centuries.
I have no problem with entrepreneurs getting rich, but that wealth needs to be returned to the rest society within a couple of generations if you want to have a dynamic society based upon egality, fraternity and liberty (that is what the French revolution was all about) and not a world of gated communities and violent ghettos. How you go about constructing a society that achieves that is left as an exercise for the reader, but massive inheritance taxes (above some level) seem like a pretty useful component.

The hostel would ordinarily be fine, I just went on a day when there was dust everywhere because the bathroom was having a new floor fitted. There could be safes or cupboards though, and definitely too many people to share one bathroom and toilet that night. But on any normal day, it is a pleasant place to stay and the staff were so helpful and excellent, even accompanied me to the chemist to help me! So thank you. (Also near to the airport)

Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP financial measures, and you should not consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company's results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

How sweet would it be to have all of your guests sporting a colorful corsage! Here's how to create them.
By Mary Swenson
Warm-weather weddings, whether they're indoor or outside, call for plenty of liquids for your guests. These subtly-flavored waters are easy to make, are a creative way to hydrate your guests, and can do double-duty as table numbers! Purchase glass bottles with airtight stoppers (like these) for your water; they look great, and the stoppers will keep your water as fresh as possible. We used a simple number stencil and multi-surface acrylic paint to put the table number on each bottle. No stencils? Painting the number by hand can be just as charming. Once the numbers are fully dry, you are ready to start flavoring the water. Start by adding the flavorings of your choice to each bottle, fill them to the top with water, and secure the stoppers. Done! We combined cucumber and mint in our bottle, but the flavor possibilities are endless. Try raspberry and lime; sliced lemon, peaches, watermelon, or strawberries; vanilla beans...whatever you like! Make sure any fruit you use is washed thoroughly before using, and use spring or filtered water for the best taste. Chill your water before placing them on each table. As guests arrive to their tables, they can help themselves to sips of the refreshing brew. Ahhh! By Mary Swenson -

The latte bowl is having a wonderful design moment this year. Coming out at every store in the most beautiful hues, textures and styles. Grab a stack of coordinating bowls and bunches of your favorite flowers to finish off reception tables with a beautiful touch. Using latte bowls as centerpieces gives a gorgeous presentation to flowers, allows you to use fewer stems (which saves money!) and they are low enough to allow guests to see each other and chat across the table. 1. Collect anywhere from 1-3 bowls per table in coordinating colors and designs. Place a small floral ball in water to soak for hours before putting the centerpieces together. You will need to make these on the day of your event, so enlist the help of a good friend to do the final put together and placement. 2. Carefully poke 3-4 stems of your favorite fully-blooming flowers into the balls. 3. Mist to keep florals alert just before table placement. Project and Photos By: Victoria Hudgins -

Stay away from these 10 common hair mistakes (expert advice)
It's supposed to be the happiest day of your life. As the bride, you'll be the center of attention, and not only will your friends and family be present, but your photographs will capture the moment forever. On the big day, you want to look like yourself, only better. There's nothing worse than a bride wearing a gorgeous gown, in the perfect location, whose hair is so dreadful that guests can't keep their eyes off of it. Neil Weisberg and Amanda George, co-owners of the celebrity-filled Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills, say brides should always have a consultation with the stylist who will be doing their hair one to two months before the wedding date to ensure that their dream hairstyle fits in with their dream day. Weisberg and George advise staying away from these 10 common hair mistakes that brides make.
1. You forget your veil or headpiece. The veil factors into your overall look, and its length and style may determine if you'll want to wear your hair up or down. If the veil hasn't arrived yet, ask the bridal salon to loan you a sample, or at least bring along a photo when consulting with your hairdresser.
2. You cut your hair days before the wedding. Stay away from the scissors and don't plan on getting a haircut right before the big day. Instead, do it a month or two prior to the wedding to ensure that you like the cut and it will work with the hairstyle you've chosen.
3. You don't carefully choose your stylist. You will remember your wedding day forever, so choose someone you trust to style your hair. If your hairdresser doesn't typically do wedding hairstyles, ask him or her for a recommendation, or speak with friends or other brides who have had hairstyles you've admired.
4. You experiment with hair color. Talk to your stylist about how you envision your hair on the big day, and let your colorist know if you are planning on wearing your hair up or down. It's also not advisable to dramatically change your hair color before the wedding. You want to look like an enhanced version of you, not someone completely different.
5. You only try one style. Just as you tried on several wedding dresses (even if you knew the first one was the best), have your stylist show you at least three different looks based on your description of what you want.
6. You go to your consultation without any ideas. Pictures speak louder than words. Gather photos (e.g., from magazines) of hairstyles you like. This will give the stylist an idea of the kind of style you're seeking. The stylist can't make you look like the person in the picture, but he or she can attempt to copy the hair as long as the texture and length are not an issue.
7. You forget about touch-ups. If it's in your budget, consider having the stylist stay after the ceremony and throughout the evening to do touch-ups to your hair—or even give you a completely different look. If the expense is too high, ask the stylist for tips on how to touch up your own hair during the reception.
8. You forget about the dress. Your hair should always complement your gown. Select your gown first and then decide on the hairstyle with your stylist.
9. You think short hair is your only option. If your cute bob doesn't jive with your dream of having long locks on the big day, ask your stylist for extensions. This temporary fix can be a perfect solution.
10. You forget about the groom. Although you'll be the focus of the big day, you will want his hair to look just as good. Make sure the groom gets a good haircut a week before the wedding.

A sweet addition to any dessert table! Photos By: Caroline Drake Bringing a sweet menu to your wedding doesn't have to be expensive or very difficult. Cream puffs are perfect to serve at weddings, and bring the right amount of fancy, but are actually very easy to make! The best part is that you can make them in advance, and easily put them together for the big day! Pastry Cream Ingredients: You will want to make the filling first, since you need to refrigerate it for at least a few hours or overnight to set. We adapted a recipe from Baking Illustrated. 2 cups half-and-half ½ cup sugar (divided into 6 tablespoon, and 2 tablespoons) Pinch salt 5 large egg yolks 3 tbsp. cornstarch 4 tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces 1½ tsp. vanilla bean paste (this makes such a difference if you can find it!) Pastry Cream Recipe Instructions: Heat the half-and-half, 6 tablespoons of the sugar, and the salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat until simmering, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Meanwhile, combine the egg yolks and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl and whisk until the sugar has begun to dissolve and the mixture is creamy, about 15 seconds. Whisk in the cornstarch until combined and the mixture is pale yellow and thick, about 30 seconds. Pastry Cream Recipe Instructions: When the half-and-half mixture has reached a simmer, slowly add it to the egg yolk mixture to temper, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula. Return the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until a few bubbles burst on the surface and the mixture is thickened and glossy, about 30 seconds. Off the heat, whisk in the butter and vanilla. Pastry Cream Recipe Instructions: Press plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate until cold and set, at least 3 hours and up to 2 days. Pâte à Choux Ingredients: 2 large eggs plus 1 large egg white 5 tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into 10 pieces 2 tbsp. whole milk 6 tbsp. water 1½ tsp. sugar ¼ tsp. salt ½ cup (2½ oz.) all-purpose flour Place an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 425° F. Pâte à Choux Recipe Instructions: To make the pâte à choux, whisk the eggs and egg white in a liquid measuring cup. You should have ½ cup (discard the excess). Set aside. Combine the butter, milk, water, sugar and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring once or twice. When it reaches a full boil and the butter is fully melted, remove from the heat and stir in the flour until incorporated and the mixture clears the sides of the pan. Return the saucepan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, using a smearing motion, until the mixture is slightly shiny, looks like wet sand and tiny beads of fat appear on the bottom of the pan (the mixture should register 175-180° F on an instant-read thermometer. Takes about 5-10 minutes on LOW heat. Pâte à Choux Recipe Instructions: Immediately transfer the mixture to a food processor and process with the feed tube open to cool slightly, 10 seconds. Pâte à Choux Recipe Instructions: With the machine running, gradually add the reserved eggs in a steady stream. When they have been added, scrape down the sides of the bowl, then process 30 seconds more until a smooth, thick, sticky paste forms. Pâte à Choux Recipe Instructions: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a ½-inch plain tip with the pâte à choux. Pipe the paste into 1½-inch mounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 to 1¼ inches apart (you should be able to fit 24 mounds on the baking sheet). Pâte à Choux Recipe Instructions: Use the back of a teaspoon dipped in water to even out the shape and smooth the surface of the piped mounds. Pâte à Choux Recipe Instructions: Bake for 15 minutes (do not open the oven door during baking). Reduce the oven temperature to 375° F and continue to bake until golden brown and fairly firm, 8-10 minutes longer. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Use a paring knife, cut a ¾-inch slit into the side of each puff to release steam; return the puffs to the oven, turn the oven off, and prop open the oven door with the handle of a wooden spoon. Pâte à Choux Recipe Instructions: Dry the puffs in the turned-off oven until the centers are just moist (not wet) and the puffs are crisp, about 45 minutes. Transfer the puffs to a wire rack to cool completely. (At this point the puffs can be stored at room temperature for up to 24 hours or frozen for up to 1 month in an airtight plastic bag. Before serving, crisp in the oven at 300° F – 5-8 minutes for room temperature puffs, 8-10 minutes for frozen puffs.) Cream Puff Assembly: To fill the puffs, use a bread knife, and carefully cut the puff in half. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a ¼-inch plain tip with the pastry cream. Cream Puff Assembly: Pipe some of the pastry cream onto the bottom half, then place the top on the pastry cream, and sift powdered sugar onto the top. Repeat to fill all the puffs. This recipe will make about 24 small cream puffs. Such a simple treat to make, that will "wow" your guests!

If embossing seems like a formality beyond your budget. Not to worry! It's a very easy craft to learn and will give your papers and packaging that polished look. This particular project shows embossed favors, but you can use the same tools to emboss your invitations, menus, programs, or save the dates! You will need... A craft heater, available at most craft stores. A jar of embossing powder, which will last you through hundreds of favors boxes and other projects, a stamp in the words of your choice and a white stamp pad. Step One: To emboss favor boxes, start by stamping the box with a very wet stamp. Take extra care to ensure the entire stamp has been covered before pressing down. You could use other colors but I love the look of embossing with white for a traditional wedding. Step Two: Once the favor box is stamped sprinkle a generous amount of embossing powder on top of it. Step Three: Use the heating tool to dry and heat the embossed word on your box top. It will bring pretty dimension to a simple statement. Step Four: Tap the extra powder onto a sheet of paper for re-use! -

1. Have her walk you down the aisle!
Don't think you need to find a male replacement for that moment if Dad's no longer in your life. In one of our favorite features on our blog One Lovely Day, Silka was escorted by her mother, and we have never seen a woman look more proud. Another idea: give one arm to Dad, one arm to Mom, and have both parents walk you down the aisle. |
2. Give her a flower before the altar. Dad still doing the giving away? Take a moment before you step onto the altar to give your mother a flower from your bouquet. Purposefully singling her out right before you say your vows will show her (and everyone in attendance) how crucial her support has been in getting you there. The gesture will become even more special if you tuck one of her favorite blooms into your bouquet and present her with that. 3. Set aside a space dedicated to her memory. This beautiful idea comes from one of our Twitter followers (@MsMakeItRain29): If your mother has since passed, place a framed photo of her and her favorite flowers on the chair where she would have sat. 4. Include Mom in the getting ready fun. Book her a seat next to yours while you and your bridesmaids are getting your hair and makeup done. Involving her in this girls-only tradition will let her know know that you see her as a friend and confidant, which is the ultimate compliment. 5. Incorporate her wedding wear into your ceremony. In her New Jersey wedding, Marisa draped a dear late aunt's veil over her chuppah. We think this is an excellent compromise if you'd prefer to keep your bridal ensemble to yourself, but still want to show mom some respect for her marital history. 6. Recreate a moment from her wedding day. Sort through Mom's wedding pics and select a photo you find particularly striking (bonus points if it includes her parents). Suprise her by bringing the shot to your wedding and recreating the pose with your photographer—we guarantee she'll be touched by the gesture. Photo by Briana Marie Photography

Casting Couch: Crowe Wants Cooper, Pfister Wants Bale, Selena Gomez and Ethan Hawke Might Team Up, More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on October 26, 2012 | Comments (2)What is Casting Couch? It's a daily movie news column that that wants to make you a star, baby. Filmmaker Cameron Crowe hasn't said much about his next project. We don't yet have a title or a plot synopsis for it. But what we do know is that it's said to be similar in tone to things like Almost Famous and Jerry Maguire, and it's got Emma Stone playing a lead role (and it might just be a rewrite of his Deep Tiki script from years ago). So basically, expect something that lines up with Crowe's best work and stars one of your favorite actresses. Sounds great. The new news regarding the project is that Crowe is reportedly close to finding his male lead. Deadline Hollywood says that he has his eye on Bradley Cooper, and he's close to making a deal happen. Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone in a Cameron Crowe movie? Yeah, that should be enough to get the attention of every person of every gender and sexuality ever. Remember how we reported that Christopher Nolan's regular DP, Wally Pfister, is going to be directing his first movie, it's going to be called Transcendence, and it's going to star Johnny Depp? Well, all of that stuff is still true, but the L.A. Times has dug up even more information. Turns out the film is actually going to have three leads, and Pfister is very game to get Christian Bale to sign on as number two of the three. Anyone out there want to see Johnny Depp […]
Welcome back to Junkfood Cinema; our love don't cost a thing. Well it's officially time to fire the captain of your brain barge because he has lead you down the internet river directly to the worst conceivable port. Each week I float atop a stinky, but apparently strangely buoyant, cinematic mistake, laughing maniacally as I poke it full of holes. Then, once it becomes painfully clear that I am sinking and in danger of drowning in my own arrogance, I begin to patch those holes with an all-consuming, sorely-misplaced love for said mistake. Once I've satisfied myself that my rancid vessel is once again seaworthy, I have myself a little post-voyage snack paired impeccably to the movie. If you are already vomiting, I assure you it is not due to seasickness. This week's treat: Anaconda

There was a fascinating article that recently showed up on NBC News.com on June 2. It dealt with the overarching concept of resiliency possibly being rooted in childhood, and featured some survivor stories of recent tragedies of natural disasters. It presented that some people did well; others less so.
The article nicely brought a mental health issue with the potential to affect us all one step closer to the general public. As well, though, it pointed toward something fascinating — that in terms of causalities of mental health and illness, there is "nature and nurture" and then there is something else.
"Nature" widely has been understood to be our genetics; "nurture" our early life experiences. Human behavior has been catchphrased as shaped by these two for centuries.
But then there is brain chemistry. The genetics category, you say? Not so fast. Apparently it can be altered by early formative experience.

what an interesting topic Lisa. It makes since that life experiences can change brain chemistry. One day we will be able to detect these changes to gain further understanding of the brain.
Our thoughts and actions as adults are largely influenced by our earliest experiences. I have no doubt that science will one day be able to show conclusive evidence to that effect. Our brains are being programmed before birth, neurons make connections based on what we experience as infants and small children. If we're given conflicting information or experience inconsistent or harsh treatment or neglect in those formative years, we navigate through life using faulty software.
Theory is interesting but seems to me obvious that we have put genetics and brain function behind experience and I believe that order is crucially backwards
I'm speaking from my own experience only and of course I've read some much research and read so many personal discussions that I form my opinion from this.
My family has mental illness. My sister is Bipolar. I am a calm by nature person who worked for 25 years in a very active level one trauma center. I have a very kind compassionate husband who has always been warm affection radon sine and hands on in the joint care of our 3 children.
Mt son was noticeably different from a young age. Extremely bright, wa and interactive with the adults in his environment and much less tolerant or interested in his peers at a young age. This eventually changed as he got older and found other kids with similar interests but began to display at around age 2 or 3 intense frustration and distress in tolerance. . Nothing any parent who understood development who be concerned about. Except despite our like of calm intervention his symptoms worsened. He was early on, struggling with his own internal intense response to small stressors. A pencil breaks, a deeply focused tasking end and so on. These are underlying traits that are NOT environment issue. Even of effective calm modeling is present the child's internal responses are raging and while calm time outs worked to bring him down , there was never anyone who noticed or tried to help him with those internal responses. I think this is more complex than most understand. Eventually environment can break down because no one has answers no one helps the family or the child build on their personal genetic biological differences.
So much is blame the family or the kid.
I think we need to distinguish between neurodevelopmental disorders, like autism, and mental illnesses, like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Early childhood trauma can bring out genetic proclivities to the latter or suppress them through good nurturing, as Lisa says.
I've been writing about this for a long time in the context of great poets who experienced dissociative creativity. My break-through reading was Dr. Allan Schore's, Affect Regulation and the Origin of the Self (1994) and the many, many articles he and others have published since then, plus Dr. Schore's follow-up book, Affect Regulation and the Repair of the Self (through psychotherapy).
Interesting research.
I think psychiatry is on the right track although there are a lot of topics that are still not considered as child hood trauma yet and thus have a harder time being accepted as it.
Therefore i think there are a lot of undiagnosed people roaming around here..
I think its good you did this research because parents need to know how to behave with their children, so thumbs up from me.
I have no doubt that this is correct. Just small things piled up have to have an affect on the mind and brain. Most problems including the Mental Health ones, are from twisted, destroyed, damaged self esteem. Once we find out a magic way of fixing it, we have some problems fixed. There will always be the ones that insist there is nothing wrong with THEM, but the wreckage they leave behind (like me) is severely damaged.
So far, 'spiritual' loving support is the best way to rewire the brain. Peer support, professional or casual, is so absolutely necessary to move people toward recovery.
The "We have a pill for that" isn't a cure all.
I wonder if there have been background studies on children diagnosed with adhd? How many with this disorder were early day care babies because parents had to work? Those early years are so important.Too many kids with no one-on-one attention. Can you imagine being taken to a strange place with even 10 other toddlers, left there to fend for yourself before you even have language skills? For many years this has been the Bedlam most children suffer through on a daily basis.
Thanks for doing such important work and TELLING US about it!
I gave my babies 9 months of breast-feeding when almost all other mothers around me were giving up to 3 months and saying I gave too long. Now many around me are giving 2 year old toddlers and I am thinking "too long". Especially when there is a small baby sibling, I feel the newborn is "robbed" of the colostrom and other substances in (newly formed) breastmilk. Nurturing for the toddler is very possible in other ways too, My "kids" are now 37 and 34 with stressful jobs and a very international and demanding life with no problems coping with stress, loving and well rounded, which makes me think 9 months were enough. Of course every kid is different, but given your wonderful research, what do you think could be a good range?
I very painfully relate to what I have always intuitively known (about trauma and the developing brain), and have experienced via the profoundly destructive effect to a child exposed to severe abuse and erratic parenting from separate households.
I agree with the politically incorrect posting about Daycare. The human race needs to re-learn the value of a secure attachment. All too often a friend will discover she is pregnant and begin an immediate search for Daycare. Newborns need quiet love and constant care, they need one caregiver and a relationship that is predictable and constant. Babies are sensory beings that suck up everything in their midst.

Florida Governor: DOMA Doesn't Change Marriage In Florida
By Nick Evans
On Wednesday, Florida Governor Rick Scott addressed the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on the Federal Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA.
Scott said the rulings won't affect who can get married in Florida.
"In 2008, Florida voters amended our constitution, so that we are a traditional marriage state – marriage is between a man and a woman. As Governor of the state I'll uphold the existing law of the land, and that's the law of our state," Scott said.
Under the Supreme Court's Ruling, same-sex couples can get federal benefits if they're legally married. The Governor did not say how Florida citizens with valid marriage licenses from other states would get these benefits.

I selected my credit cards with the sole purpose of rebuilding my credit and I had my mortgage broker pull my reports yesterday to get a preapproval on a home loan and he is telling me that they are only reporting to Equifax. My cards are WAMU secured card, that was converted to a regular credit card because of good payment & standing and a Cap One card.
I called Cap One to tell them they need to report immediately to the other 2 bureaus and they are telling me to give them 10 days to process the request and another 10 days for the info to be received and entered by the credit bureaus!! I don't have 20 days to wait for this to happen!
Can anyone give me some advise as to how I can get them to report to TU and EX immediately? Have any of your methods been effective? I really need to get my mortgage loan preapproval so I can start looking for a house! Thanks so much for your advice.
No the bureaus are of no help to you. In over a year they have never reported to the other 2 bureaus? And you are just not learning of this?
The credit compaines must be memebers of the bureaus in order to report to them, and many companies do not report to all 3. This is the reason that there is different information on all 3 reports, and you have 3 different scores.
You have requested the information to be reported, and as I'm aware this is all you can do at this time. Just keep in mind that the the credit cards are by no means obligated to report. Sorry.

Tritent Int'l Agriculture (UNMK) Announces The Construction Of Its Infant Formula Plant
Tritent Int'l Agriculture, Inc., a Pennsylvania company registered to conduct business in the States of Iowa and Illinois, announced the initiation of construction of its infant formula plant in Cascade, Iowa.
"August 30, 2012 marks an important milestone for Tritent's corporate development. Together with the research of business model, creation of the business plan, site selection and funding raising, it has taken close to a year to come to this groundbreaking point," Nathaniel Hsieh, President of the Company stated.
According to Mr. Hsieh, the company targets its completion of the plant by May 2013. Once completed and fully certified, it will become the 5 th infant formula plant in the United States. The company has reached tentative agreement for the supply of its fresh milk from Swiss Valley, a Midwest dairy co-op, and is setting up distribution network in China as its main targeted market.
"We selected Cascade, Iowa for our plant site because it lies at the center of the Midwest dairy country and its food supply and processing industries," Hsieh further stated. The company has just completed its acquisition of a ten-acre land at the Cascade Industrial Park. Construction of a 20,000 SF plant is now underway with 100 ton daily milk processing capacity. Hsieh explained that this planned capacity will only satisfy up to 3% of China's growing need for quality infant formula products.
When inquired about its source of funding, Hsieh stated that investor immigration at the present time is the company's main funding source. "The recent approval of our investor immigration petition by the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service is a complete validation of our company's business and model in investing in and creating jobs for rural America." According to Hsieh, also a practicing attorney in immigration law, the current U.S. immigration laws permit anyone with immediate family for immigration, provided a minimum $500,000 is invested in a rural area and 10 full-time local jobs created.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

This email comes from a reader who is searching for…some memorable reading.
When I was in high school, I read a bunch of insane romances from one author (I think), all acquired from the library. I wasn't a romance reader at the time and actually didn't know that was what I was reading, since they were all hardcover and I assumed romances were all mass market size. Dumb! Anyway, I'd love to reread some of these so I can see if they're all as crazy as I remember them. This is my memory of the one I remember most vividly:
It was medieval-set and the heroine was the daughter of a soldier, maybe some higher up in the chain of command. She's still a teen but ends up sleeping with one of her dad's fellow soldiers, and she then runs away in horror/shame/stupidity for some reason. (The dad might have also died in a huge battle around the same time, amplifying the emotion of the moment.)
It turns out she's pregnant and she ends up having a son with a name that sounded really weird to the early '00s American teen reading the book. Maybe something like Florian. Anyway, over the next few years she becomes the mistress of dastardly King John. The hero, of course, has been looking for her all this time and naturally ends up with her. I have no idea how. The kid's weird name was clearly more important to me than the plot.
But! The BEST part (read: most disgusting)! At some point after having her kid, the heroine decided that one bastard was enough for her and used a string of beads inserted into her hoo-ha to prevent further conceptions while doing some king boning. At the very end, the kid is playing marbles and his newly reunited parents are like, "Hey, where'd you get those?" And he's like, "Oh, I cut up a string of beads I found in your drawer, Mama!"
Just typing that made me gag. But I OBVIOUSLY need to read it again. Please help!
Do you recall this book? Or, barring the book, the scene with the beads?!

Scent is such an amazing, powerful sense, isn't it? I am always burning some kind of candle, incense, oil, or even just cooking to stimulate that sense. It can have comforting powers that are just out of this world! Anyone feel the same?
Kidding. I love candles, but the smell sometimes is overwhelming..so I only burn like ..one every other week or so haha.
I do like perfume, but I don't get crazy with it. Spritz here and spritz there and I'm good to go. My favorite smell is lavender and cherry blossom..ESPECIALLY cherry blossom.
Odell Beckham Jr. Is my husband. Get over it.

When we hear the word mind, one might think of thinking, learning, and brain. In recent years, we have come to find that mind is a little more powerful than just being smart; we have learned that the mind can also heal. The other day a friend of mine asked me, how someone can be a healer without using medicine? The answer is meditation, and thinking positively. I did not see this myself I would also question this.
Have you ever been sad, and felt like the whole world might be against you? Because no matter what you do, how hard you try, there is nothing going right. Here is my question to you, what happens next? Only you can answer that to yourself. On the flip side, have you had times where you were so happy there was nothing that could go wrong? And what happened next? Most often what happens is life continues to get better, not always, but most times. Negative attracts negative, and positive attracts positive. Rule to live by, math 101.
I am not saying the mind can cure everything, but it can sure make things less stressful. Try this simple exercise daily and I would love to hear your feedback in a couple of weeks. Everyday, I would like you to take 5 to 10 minutes a day, be in a quiet place, close your eyes and think of nothing. Just focus on your breath. You can also light a candle, play some nice music, and tap in to you. The results are surprising.
I can be emailed at email@example.com I would love to hear your feedback.
Best of Luck

Why Men Marry Some Women
Why Men Marry Some Women and Not Others
by John T. Molloy
"I love this one and I hate it. I love that it challenges women who waste their time with the wrong man. It's very practical and it boils dating down to a business-school experiment. But it's written by a man who does not take women's insecurities into consideration, and that can breed a sense of scarcity. Take the juicy morsels—the specific statistics about why men marry some women and not others—and leave the rest."

Operating Expenses Research and development expenses for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010, were $4.5 million and $13.3 million, compared to $3.9 million and $9.4 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2009. The increases in the respective periods was primarily due to higher costs related to work performed for the NIAID contract as well as higher other outside services and contract labor expenses related to research and development projects. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in research and development expenses incurred by Inovio AS and Inovio Tec, as these entities ceased operations in 2009, as well as lower stock based compensation expense.
General and administrative expenses, which include business development expenses and amortization of intangible assets, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010, were $3.1 million and $12.1 million, compared to $2.6 million and $13.7 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2009. The increase for the three-month period was primarily due to a reversal of a deferred tax liability in the fourth quarter of 2009, which did not occur in 2010. The decrease for the annual period was primarily due to lower legal and related fees. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in recurring operating expenses, including the amortization of intangible assets acquired in the 2009 merger, due to a full year operating as a combined company in 2010.
