Verified Purchase
this pencil is one of my favorites, it's great.
the only thing i don't like is that the black grip seems to catch everything on it (dust, lint, skin particles). I'm sure all metal gripped drafting pencils do this but it's slightly irksome seeing a "dirty" pencil grip all the time. It's no big deal though, and shouldn't hold you back from getting this great pencil. 3 people found this helpful

This pencil is great...
Verified Purchase
This pencil is great for precise writing (ex. writing on beakers for chem labs).
I wish the grip was a little bit bigger but that is probably because i have
large hands (i can palm a basketball easily). The plastic seems to be durable
and i hope so as the grip is attached to the barrel with plastic threads :S Even
though i do not use the lead grade indicator i would like to point out that it
moves easily and i don't feel like it is high quality.
Overall i think that this pencil is 4 stars because for 3 dollars more you can have a Staedtler 925 25 03 which is an all metal body and bigger grip. It will however be heavier which may not be what you want. 3 people found this helpful

As expected, this one...
Verified Purchase
As expected, this one is drastically lighter than its brass cousin, the Rotring
600. It uses what appears to be the same nosepiece, eraser cap, and clip, but
I'm not 100% certain anything else is shared between the two ranges. Granted,
the examples I own are of a different lead diameter, but the advance mechanisms
still feel substantially different. It might simply be the resonant
characteristics of plastic versus brass, it's hard to say. It's still a high-end
feeling and well worth its price point, though. It certainly doesn't appear to
sacrifice anything in terms of overall quality of manufacture in the apparent
step down from its lofty metallic brethren, but it definitely has a different
character simply by its lesser mass. It's no 600, but it is a solid 500, and
it's half the price. Go for it.

The Rotring 500...
Verified Purchase
The Rotring 500 is an excellent Drafting pencil for drafters. The lead
indicator holds firmly, ( Unless you use it frequently, as the friction will
loosen the indicator.) Obviously, as the 4mm lead sleeve is very fragile,
extreme care is required, or else a little drop will ruin your pencil. The
factory lead is nice & dark, wears fairly nice, and doesn't smudge (Great if
you're a lefty). If you're going to bring the Rotring 500 to a public place,
don't flash your pencil to other people, unless you do want attention from
people( " peasants " ) using cheap mechanical pencils. The looks of the 500 &
the 600 is very similar in the design. The Rotring 500's eraser works decently,
however as with most drafting pencils, the erasers are for well... minuscule
mistakes, not for erasing an entire essay, or paragraph; for those duties, I use
separate block erasers.
One negative/annoying feature of the Rotring 500 , as "henrylouis16" stated, is that the grip of the Rotring 500 seems to attract particles. ex. Skin cells, dirt, eraser shreds, etc. The particles will make your Rotring 500 a little bit dirty, however the grip has good traction and isn't rough, unlike other knurled grip that makes your fingers hurt after hours of use. The weight of the Rotring 500 isn't heavy , but it is pretty substantial, especially when you compare the weight to the Pentel Graph 1000 for pro,(which is a feather compared to Rotring 500). If you do want something heavier, I'd recommend the Staedtler 925-03, Rotring 600, & Pentel Graph Gear 1000 . If you want something durable, reliable, fancy, entertaining to stare at when you're bored,and are willing to take care of your Rotring 500, I'd highly recommend the Rotring 500. If you're looking for something cheap, extremely expensive, light, very heavy, jewelry, or easily breakable, then I'd not recommend the Rotring 500. That being said, the tip is still fragile, and needs some care. 2 people found this helpful

I own a wide variety of mechanical pencils, many found here at Jetpens as a
matter of fact, and some found elsewhere. This Rotring 500 design is among my
top 2 favorites. The other is a Pentel design not found here. 'Nuff said.

Verified Purchase
Exactly what I paid for, and more. I heard this was just like the type 600, only
sacrificing the metal tube for one of high-quality, light-weight plastic. It has
the perfect weight, a good feel, and a simple, yet attractive design.
For half the price of the famous type 600, this is a must-buy. * Be sure to buy eraser refills. They're tiny. |

Great Pencil. Perfect Balance of weight for a comfortable writing experience,
couple that with a solid lead advance mechanism, quality grip and SOLID
construction and you have a 5 star pencil right here.

Verified Purchase
Besides the reliable and fast service jetpens always offers, this pencil arrived
with the rest of my order today.
It's simply amazing. I've been through quite a lot of mechanical pencils in the years but so far I think I'll be working with this one (and its younger brother the rotring 600 when it becomes available) for the longest. The grip feels right and the weight isn't too heavy since it's made of plastic and each end is made with metal. :) Everything feels very solid and with the .3mm size, it's perfect with fine detail. I use it for drawing artwork rather than actual drafting. |

Ok so I both a shiitake log from gmushrooms.com... its a composite wood log preinoculated and its already got buds on them. I am about to start my second log and noticed that there are a lot of buds on the bottom of the log. The company said to scrape them off and not to start the log upside down (in two emails by the way b/c I really wanted to not waste the buds). Why can't I start the log upside down? The company has not explained this to me? I really don't want to waste the buds forming on the bottom of the log (most of them are on the bottom of the log) |

Construction of this 1.5-mile racetrack began in 1959. A lighting system was installed in 1992, making it the first modern superspeedway to host night races. The track was repaved in 1994 and again before the 2006 season. The name of the track changed to Lowe's Motor Speedway in 1999 but changed back to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the 2010 season.
Charlotte has 24 degrees of banking in all of its turns as well as 5 degrees of banking on both the frontstretch and backstretch. The length of the frontstretch is 1,980 feet, and the backstretch measures 1,500 feet.
There have been 110 races in NASCAR's premier series held at Charlotte. The series has competed at this track twice each year since it opened in 1960. Charlotte will host the fifth round in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship -- a 500-mile event -- the second weekend in October.
Joe Lee Johnson won the inaugural Cup race at Charlotte, the World 600, on June 19, 1960.
Richard Petty holds the record for the most starts at Charlotte with 64. Jeff Gordon's 42 starts at this track is the most among those drivers entered in this weekend's race.
Bobby Allison, Jimmie Johnson and Darrell Waltrip share the record for most victories at Charlotte with six each. Johnson's most recent win at this track came in October 2009. He won four consecutive races there from May 2004 to October 2005.
Waltrip holds the record for most victories in the 600-mile race at Charlotte with five. He won it in 1978, '79, '85, '88 and '89.
Rick Hendrick has the most car owner wins at Charlotte with 17. Kasey Kahne gave Hendrick his most recent victory at this track two years ago.
David Pearson holds the record for most pole wins at Charlotte with 14. Ryan Newman and Gordon lead all active drivers with nine poles each there. Gordon's most recent pole at this track came last October.
The race winner at Charlotte has started from the pole 14 times. Johnson was the last driver to do it in October 2009.
Since NASCAR began using electronic timing and scoring in 1993, the closest margin of victory in a Sprint Cup race at Charlotte occurred on May 29, 2005 when Johnson beat Bobby Labonte to the finish line by just 0.027 seconds.
The 600-mile race at Charlotte in 2005 featured a NASCAR-record 22 cautions, mostly for accidents caused by blown tires. The event took 5 hours, 13 minutes and 52 seconds to complete and moved at a pace of 114.698 mph.
The furthest back a driver has started and won a Sprint Cup race at Charlotte is 37th, accomplished by Johnson in the 2003 rain-shortened 600-mile event.
Five active drivers recorded their first career Sprint Cup victories in the 600-mile race at Charlotte: Jeff Gordon (1994), Bobby Labonte (1995), Matt Kenseth (2000), Casey Mears (2007) and David Reutimann (2009 - rain shortened). Jamie McMurray's maiden win in the series came in the 500-mile event at Charlotte in October 2002. Labonte and Reutimann are not entered in this weekend's race.
Four drivers on the entry list for this race scored their first pole wins at Charlotte: Gordon (October 1993), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (May 2000), Newman (May 2001) and Aric Almirola (May 2012).
Two drivers entered made their Sprint Cup debuts in the 600-mile race at Charlotte: Earnhardt Jr. (1999) and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (2011). Johnson made his first Cup start at Charlotte in October 2001.
Gordon holds the record as the youngest driver to win a race at Charlotte. He took the checkered flag there on May 29, 1994 when he was 22 years, 9 months and 25 days old. When Cale Yarborough was 46 years, 6 months and 9 days old, he became the oldest driver to win at this track on Oct. 6, 1985.
The next race is the June 1 FedEx 400 at Dover International Speedway, Tony Stewart won last year's race there.

Martin Lindstrom | September 26, 2006 | Comments
Mass-market audiences are a thing of the past, and no brand can afford to be friends with everyone.
A typical 21 year old has played 5,000 hours of computer games; exchanged 25,000 e-mail, SMS, and chat messages; used a cell phone some 10,000 times; and spent 3,500 hours online.
That's your future consumer.
When I conducted the research for my book, "BRANDchild" (the world's largest study on kids and their relationship with brands), one result that surprised me was the number of channels kids are able to handle simultaneously. Adults are able to manage 1.7 media channels at the same time, say, watching TV and reading a magazine. Kids, however, can pay attention to an astounding 5.4 channels. They can watch TV, send SMS messages, surf the Net, chat on IM, listen to music, and even devote 0.4 of their simultaneous communications energy to homework.
When I recently repeated the study, not only had the number of channels kids handle at once increased by 0.2, but the adult capacity for dealing with multiple channels had grown almost 0.1. The ever-evolving media environment, therefore, not only influences the younger generation. It affects us all, and we're adapting to it. This leads to a question: what behavioral changes will we see in future generations vis-À-vis communications strategies and media use?
A lot. But here are two key developments you can expect to deal with in handling consumer behavior in the future:
You're dealing with a generation of broadcasting MSP consumers. You have to live on the edge to tackle this crowd. It's essential you take chances to meet the ultimate objective: having your brand stand out.
Sadly, most companies perceive and represent themselves according to core values extracted from an MBA textbook. Tomorrow's brands must be distinctive to push the envelope of acceptability across a spectrum of socio-economic and political tolerances. Brands must even offend certain audiences to make their presence felt and their distinction from competitors clear.
The challenge of releasing and growing a successful brand is ever-greater, making it essential brand-builders and their colleagues focus on narrow audiences. In doing so, a brand can reflect values that only this audience appreciates. Yes, you may offend a lot of people beyond that specific group, but in doing so you'll build your brand's relationship with its core audience. This philosophy is a radical departure from branding in the past, in which everything -- values, reputation, nuances -- had to be perfect and acceptable to the vast majority.
Mass-market audiences are a thing of the past. In principle, no brand can afford to be friends with everyone at the same time.
Is your brand MSP-ready? Are you factoring the broadcaster behavioral phenomenon into your platform? Do you recognize these key consumer characteristics by making your audience the center of your brand? Have you revisited your brand values to ensure you're stretching its message and personality, voice and style, to the edge? If not, polish off your brand and arm it with relevance to the motivations and impulses of generation tomorrow, before they discard your brand forever with one brief click.

We bought the house with this maple pretty hacked up. The yard really took off after the winter rains, but I noticed the other day that the maple doesn't look so hot. Have termites taken over? (more pictures coming) |

We have an Emerald Queen maple tree on the northeast side of the house and live outside of Denver. Our tree leafs out fairly early--in fact earlier than we'd like since we frequently have snow in late April and even May. We've lost some branches over the years because it leafs out early and holds its leaves fairly late into the fall. Your tree looks like someone hacked it off and then suckers grew out of the trunk that was left. It definitely looks dead since your grass is green and shrubs are leafing and blooming. Even if it's not completely dead, it certainly isn't a healthy tree that will add beauty to your landscape. Cut it down and replace it with a new tree. |

text: How to write those required essays: "Why I want to go to College X."May 16, 2000 There are numerous volumes (and epinions) written on how to write a winning personal statement for college admission. However, I feel that not a lot of time has been devoted to helping students figure out how to write an equally snazzy and powerful statement about why they want to attend a certain college. Many of the colleges I applied to required a brief paragraph about the applicant's reasons for wanting to go to the school. They were usually phrased like this: "Why do you want to attend College X?" The answer the college is looking for is not, as one might think, a shower of compliments about the virtue and prestige of a certain school. Brown, for example, already knows it's a great school, and they can give you the reasons why. The admissions officers do not want to hear that you want to go there because the campus is beautiful, it has a good reputation, or Mom or Dad went there and say it's just peachy. They will not refuse to admit you based on a wishy-washy, cliched answer to the "College X" statement, but a more personal and unique one just might put you over the rest of the applicants, and it shows that you took care in making all parts of the application truly "you." So what should a good "College X" statement include? I tried to make mine speak not about why College X was so great, but why I was a good fit for College X. Are you applying there because it's a small college, and that's what you want? Say so! Pick the elements of the college that attracted you and write about them in terms of yourself. Always remember that this statement comes down to you. Here's an example from my brief "Why Oberlin?" statement: I first learned of Oberlin when I was sifting through the masses of college mail I received during my sophomore year. Oberlin�s viewbook, with the question, �Think one person can change the world?� immediately caught my eye; the school earned a spot on my �cool college� list when I saw the answer inside: �So do we.� Oberlin�s history of social action and its encouragement of student activism are inspiring to me, as I definitely do want to change the world. The Conservatory, the small student body, and the womb chairs and rainbow couches in Mudd Library also appeal to my loves for music, friendship, and whimsy. Academically, I learn best when I am given a challenge and the independence to conquer it creatively, but also receive support and nurturing. I feel that Oberlin would provide this kind of environment and allow me to thrive both inside and outside of class. My main academic goal at Oberlin would be to graduate knowing that I had learned and helped others to learn as well; I plan to accomplish this goal with a possible major in English. Personally, I want to enjoy my college years to their fullest. A few weeks ago I e-mailed a recent Oberlin graduate with some questions about the College. He told me that one of Oberlin�s most defining qualities is that �everyone is into everything there. It's not like Oberlin kids to separate work from play�a lot of times work is play and vice versa.� I want to live out my college years with the same kind of energy and put passion into everything I do. I wouldn't say that my example is perfect, but you can see that I conveyed myself through it. All in all, my point is, make even the "Why College X" statement yours, and personalize!! |

I meant to mention this before: when I've needed to be guided through the dark before, I've found it's more helpful to walk behind the person who's guiding me, with my hand on his or her shoulder. (Or, as it's worked out a few times, holding on to the hood of her jacket, or the back of her wheelchair.) That way, we don't have to worry about fitting through a tight space, or avoiding things on the other side of me that the guide can't see.

Using the wheelchair accessible boarding areas would allow you to avoid stairs, moving walkways, and also wait in the less crowded handicapped waiting areas that some shows have. This would be shows like Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor, Muppets 3D and Mickey's Philharmagic.
Those things (specifically getting to board where the moving walkway can be stopped or slowed) are available to people using the wheelchair boarding areas. Contrary to what most people think, people with wheelchairs don't have a special entrance or use the exit for most attractions at WDW. That is one of the issues I see people commenting on is that they were not 'allowed' to use the handicapped boarding area when they had a different stamp. What is really needed is to use the wheelchair accessible areas, not something else. My suggestion would be that even if your DH doesn't feel ready to do orientation training, it would still be very helpful for YOU to learn effective ways to lead him. Holding hands while you walk with him is not a very effective way to help him because he has no way of knowing what is coming -and, since he is next to you, what you are coming up to is not the same as what is coming up to you. In high school ( back in the last century, HA!), I had a volunteer job guiding a young man who was blind from his class to the lunchroom and back to his next class after lunch. He had been blind since birth and was very skilled at getting around, but the time element and large numbers of people were an issue for him getting around by himself. He taught me the correct way to lead, which gives the blind or partially sighted person the most information and the most control. This is the gist of it from wiki-how and, even if he does not get training himself, it will be much less frustrating for both of you if you learn how to do it. When we went last Spring, this was the method we used for assisting my mother, who has good sight, but was weak from chemo.
I have also seen people using a cane in lines - once they have gone thru orientation training, a cane does give a lot of information - for example - a regular pattern of poles that changes gives a cue that the line is turning. I have also seen people who keep one hand lightly on the sideways bars or chain in line to orient themselves. It keeps them to one side, so others can pass, keeps them from running into poles since the chains or bars are attached to the poles and gives a heads up about turns or elevating changes in the queue since the chain/bar also turns along with the line.

thanks sue, for the detailed lesson for leading those who are blind or visually impaired. it was very helpful!!
I will talk to hubby about a foldable cane. I will also be checking out lighthouse. as I stated in my first post, we aren't trying to cut lines. we're willing to wait our turn. just difficult to navigate for us, and was looking for advice from those who also have low vision. thanks!

Thanks sue for explaming the technique, I was afraid I would do it wrong. I also forget so please forgive that DL has different rules than wdw, and I should have mentioned that in DL my accommodation is almost always just front row seating, my dog or cane gives them the rest to accommodate me. At wdw I do get a different stamp because the queues are a problems sometimes and the dog or cane is not enough. I hoped this helped her and others.

The difference I was referring to was two things, first going from light to dark in wdw they accommodate this, in DL they do not since just having my cane or dog usually does and second in DL, since many lines are not handicapped excessible then there is an alternative route, also much more in DL than wdw is turnstiles, when a line has then you being blind can not go through them with a dog, you can with a cane. When I have my dog I will go one way in DL, when I have my cane I will be lead another way. Wait a minute let me correct that, a dog in harness can not go through them, I think other service animals maybe able to, but my dogs harness gets trapped and stuck when we try. If there is a pass like you are asking for, I have never recieved it, and I have just like those persons in the class action law suit been told by Disney numerous times that my family is to guide me. And I have complained, since if that is the case why are others accommodated so easily, but then I thought in some ways they are not, w/c persons families may complain, but they still don't get Disney to lift their family member in and out. Disney can certainly see that I have a vision problem, I need help even to give them the right pass if I am alone when I enter. I usually stand at gs until I know they are talking to me before I move up, I have either a cane or a dog in harness with me, and I have those awful dark glasses on. Yet in 25 years I have never gotten help in a queue line like you are asking for. As I said, orientation is the best bet, since there are tons of things that are taught. Like have you ever heard when a light turns green and a tweety bird chirps, do you know that is telling the blind to walk east or west. When a coco bird is heard it is telling a blind person to go north or south. Like I say, tons and tons of information can be found in orientation, even if a person can not bring the self to using a cane yet, it is still very helpful information. Also my thing is and always will be to save the sight I have, so if I know when to close my eyes and let them rest and may have sight for 4 extra years I am going to do so.

I haven't travelled with a blind person in a few years now but I'm not sure my experience will help any because it was always with a service animal. If there was need for the dog to be in a particular spot (like on Great Movie Ride, he'd go in a the back row in the spot a wheelchair would typically go) or to bypass a preshow room where it'd be hard with the dog, we would be sent through..shall we call them "particular ways". That was never with a GAC though, as the dog presented a visual cue that there was a disability. But honestly more often than not the dog went through the normal queue right with us. It was a pain, because the dog knew to follow me if he wasn't given a verbal instruction as to where to go, but the person I was with would hesitate. So I get OP's issue but we just had to learn to deal with it. Queues I remember walking all the way through would be like..Star Tours, Soarin, Dinosaur up to a certain point (then we took the elevator for rider swap issues), Nemo, Kilimanjaro Safari... etc. So I guess my point is a lot of times I think you will just have to figure out a way to work through it.

yeah, lock, shock... I know what you mean,, and I know each queue is different. I think one of the worst is the line for great movie ride. that cattle pen is huge, and there is no one "pattern" to the configuration. (as is changes as the line gets longer.) it's getting to where he hates that line.
it would be nice to have a way to walk to the loading area directly and then wait until it's our turn (ie. if the standby wait is 30 minutes we wait at the loading area 30 minutes) . yeahm, nemo is another one, and you have to walk through that whole jagged line, whether anyone is waiting or not. they don't have a way tho shorten that one at all when the wait is 5 minutes. well, it's NEVER 5 minutes, as it takes 10 minutes to get through the queue area! (well, double that , in our case) now, if we use a flashlight through the queue, then his eyes don't adjust to the dark, and he won't see anything on the ride. (event hough there are devices that describe things, he would like to see it anyway) thanks all. it's nice to "commiserate", if nothing else. we'll see how it all works out.

Smidgy, I know exactly where you are coming from and the frustrations. My mother has macular degeneration and it is getting progressively worse. I have experienced the same frustrations as you trying to explain a cue and lead my Mom at the same time. I think Nemo and The Great movie Ride are the worst. What frustrates me the worst is people who are not patient.
My Mom is a senior and gets scared when she is in a situation that she cannot see (especially if the lighting is really poor i.e. Nemo cue)...if I hear people behind getting mad (huffing and puffing), I will step aside and pull my Mom aside and say - I'm sorry my Mom has limited vision and this cue is tough for her to manouver so please, go ahead so we don't delay you and your family. Some times they will run past and other times I have had the people ask if there is anything they can do to help me. I have never asked for a GAC - I didn't realize I could get one for limited vision. I usually just tell the CM at the front of the line that my Mom has limited vision and we need to be near the front, I advise we are willing to wait, etc and it hasn't been a problem. In December we took our first Disney trip with my Mom using her identification cane from the CNIB. Our trip was to Disneyland and I found that when people saw the cane, they were more accepting so I would suggest to both you and your husband to contact a local agency in your area that can provide training. I also received training on how to "lead" my Mom and it has taught me to slow down and smell the roses (I am used to walking fast to get from point A to point B). Also, I normally I use a backpack in the parks and my Mom will hold onto my backpack and I think we will continue to do this as well as have her use her cane.

thanks Elaine and/or Dorrie! I really appreciate someone telling me they understand. I feel for your mom. and you.
I was going to ask you what CNIB was, but I remembered a previous poster using that acronym, and see it is in Canada. We live in Illionis. out in the boonies. I'll have to do some research to see where we could get any training and/or a cane. the bigger hurdle will be broaching the subject with hubby.

This powder barely shows up on my NW15 skin so I can't use it as a blush and it's not shimmery enough to use as a highlighter. :(

I'll admit to having a heavy hand, so this blush as an ideal choice because of it's light color and yet visible sheen. With that said, you can layer this for a more noticeable effect. The price is expensive for the amount of product you receive, but I have yet to find an affordable comparison. Will repurchase.
This is a really nice blush that wakes up my pale skin with a subtle wash of color. It is a bit shimmery in the pan, but the shimmer is very fine and doesn't accentuate pores or look unnatural, but instead looks very healthy and radiant. It isn't super pigmented, which may annoy some people, but I think this makes it a bit easier to work with because you don't have to be so cautious while applying it. So overall this is the perfect easy/quick/natural blush especially if you have pale skin.

Very light, but perfect for my super white cool toned skin.. Recommend for all my fellow fair ladies!! If you're darker than an NW/NC30. this probably wouldn't show up very well on you.

For reference I am a NW 10/15 and my cheeks are very dry.
This is a very light neutral pink. It looks very pretty and sweet on my pale skin. It doesn't dry out my cheeks any more and it lasts all day long. I actually really like the brush that comes along with it. It applies the blush flawlessly. And this blush smells so good!
My only complaint is that it doesn't look natural. It's too pink to be believable. I wore it on Valentine's Day and on Halloween (I was a doll). I'll keep it, but I won't buy it again.

My favourite blusher!
The perfect light pink tone for every day. Better on fair skin. I wear this every day without fail. Every time i try something new i end up going straight back to it. It is so light and long lasting nothing else compares. For a night out I would recommend using a darker shade on the apple of cheeks the using this over it and blending out.
Beautiful light matte finish.
I buy one of these a year. It lasts so long that you don't feel you're wasting a product that is a little bit expensive.
If you buy this keep the little plastic brush tray in it to keep your brush away from the powder.

Dandelion is my least favourite boxed powder from Benefit. It's an incredibly light neutral pink, and I can't do much with it on my NW20 skintone. I use it to tone down brighter blushes, but that's about it. It's too light to use as a blush, too pink as a powder, and too matte to be a highlighter.
4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
On my NC25 skin, Dandelion shows up as a subtle neutral pink. The shimmer is virtually undetectable once applied on the cheeks. It blends nicely and never looks powdery. Although it won't matter to most people, let me just say that this is hands down the best smelling blush I have ever used. My only complaint about the product is that it only lasts for maybe half the day before fading away completely. It does last a bit longer with a setting spray over top, if you're willing to take that extra step.
I haven't had any problems with the packaging. It has held up well through lots of travelling. The brush it comes with actually works okay in terms of picking up and depositing colour. I just prefer using a longer handled brush for more precision. The Bare Escentuals Tapered Blush is great for this product.
Dandelion is perfect for when you are going for a no-makeup look or when you don't want your cheeks to distract from the rest of your face. Because it is basically a toned-down version of the colour of my cheeks when I am actually blushing, I find that it matches any clothing, lip colour, or eye makeup. Think of it as "your cheeks but better."
With daily use, the .25 oz you get lasts around one year. With more realistic use, it'll last 2-3 years. Although I am not entirely convinced that there isn't a more affordable dupe out there, I will continue to repurchase because I think the overall value isn't too ridiculous.

at the first time i saw benefit dandelion's swatches, i was under rated this product.
an brightening face powder? i dont need that! i have oily skin!
i dont need sheer blush either!
but when i noticed that i always look tired, dull looking in most of picture i took (day & night) i start to find an illuminating product to makes me looks more shiny and not tired anymore.
i bought dandelion from my friend, and i found it so georgeous!
it does brighten my face, i never use it as a blush yet, but sure it's hard to shown on my skin (neutral to warm, around nc/nw 20-25) the brush is also works.
it has cute packaging, yeah, but it makes it unfriendly for my make up pouch ..
I love the light color because you can use as a powder highlighter or build up to mix & match as a bronzer/blush combo (I am very pale, so this tip won't work for everyone). It also has a very light shimmer to it so is very pretty and feminine without being too much (unlike Bella Bamba which I have to be careful with).

The top 25 places we think should be on every traveler's radar this year.
MoreSailors approaching East Coast harbors frequently mistake the pale peaks of the White Mountains—the highest range in the northeastern United States—for clouds. It was 1642 when explorer Darby Field could no longer contain his curiosity about one mountain in particular. He set off from his Exeter homestead and became the first European to climb what would later be called Mt. Washington.
The 6,288-foot peak must have presented Field with formidable obstacles—its summit claims the highest wind velocity in the world ever recorded (231 mph in 1934) and can see snow every month of the year.
Today an auto road and a cog railway lead to the top of Mt. Washington, and people come by the tens of thousands to hike and climb, photograph the vistas, and ski. The peak is part of the Presidential Range, whose peaks are named after early presidents, and part of the White Mountain National Forest, which has roughly 770,000 acres that extend from northern New Hampshire into southwestern Maine. Among the forest's scenic notches (deep mountain passes) are Pinkham, Kinsman, Franconia, and Crawford. From the notches lead trailheads for short hikes and multiday adventures, which are also excellent spots for photographing the majestic White Mountains

Sexy yet not long lasting. It's unique, which is why I bought it. Just wish it lasted longer. This is understated yet leathery and sexy. Date night scent.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I received a sample of this with a Sephora purchase and knew I had to have it. This has notes of amber and patchouli which are among my favorites. Guilty Black is medium bodied, making it ideal for evening and fall/winter. I find this to be a very sexy and sensual scent and a good choice for date nights as well. Staying power leaves something to be desired, I had a Gucci Rush years ago when it was released and it easily lasted 6-8 hours if not more. This seems to dissipate rather quickly. If you are a fan of Clinique Aromatics Elixir, Dior Hypnotic Poison, or even Guerlain Shalimar this is probably up you alley.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this fragrance. I especially love it for a night out. It daring, sensual, and has a slight berry-powderish quality to it (I like powder) I've only received like one compliment on this fragrance...even though I don't wear fragrances to impress others. It reminds of Champs Elysses for some reason. It does not last long...just about 2 hours...It is an edt after all but more like an expensive body mist. Gucci fragrances have lost quality over the last couple of years I guess with the bad economy, quality goes down hill. The bottle is kinda meh...Won't be repurchasing :/
I'm kinda hooked on Guilty Black for Women lately, and it may just be my favorite of the 3 Guiltys (I have them all). Normally I dislike anything with red fruit notes (which are everywhere these days), but this is an exception -- because it's so deliciously dark underneath.
The overall effect vaguely reminds me of chocolate-covered cherries or Black Forest cake -- mixed with woods & patchouli. Rich, deep, sensual, delicious - with a great drydown. When I catch whiffs of it on myself, it smells wonderful. I'm on a roll with this one -- have worn it several days in a row, and I'm wearing it now --- mmmm!
Here are the notes, per parfumo.net:
Top Notes: Pink pepper, Red fruits
Heart Notes: Violet
Base Notes: Amber, Patchouli
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I am somewhat surprised that I like this scent! I like that it is only a touch masculine. Some fragrances smell exactly like a cologne like Tom Ford Violet Blonde. I like to wear this when I feel like changing up my style every now and then.
More reviews by SorceressOfTheDark
The openings of the Gucci's have not impressed me. The are rather soft and I would suppose I have acquired a taste for a stronger, more robust perfume that can take me away, one that will grab me by the shoulders and shake me. Granted, there is no horrible alcohol whizz at first hint, just a soft hint of something to come. Maybe peach. Maybe vanilla. So we have generic fruity-gourmand blended into a soft cream sitting low, so low that I must put my nose into it and therein lies the problem. The patchouli is so weak I don't know it's there. Another common scent packaged oh-so-prettily, rather vampy to catch the eye of unsuspecting wallets, a designer name for those that care enough about labels, pretty packaging and the money shall be spent on commonality.
Top Notes: Pink Pepper, Red Berries.
Middle Notes: Raspberry, Peach, Lily, Violet.
Base Notes: Patchouli, Amber.

A slew of reviews on Sephora.com complain that this perfume has no staying power and they are RIGHT. I have to re-spritz every few hours which is inconvenient because this perfume doesnt come in a purse-friendly rollerball (yet). Still, it's dark and sexy and I love it! If youre a fan of Hypnotic Poison or anything "night" or "noir", give this a sniff.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
MEOW!! I have a bottle of the original Gucci Guilty, and so when this came out I was so excited to smell it. I absolutely love it, more than the original which I didn't think possible! I am thrilled with the staying power and although I originally wasn't sure if I liked the bottle, something about it feels mischevious, and its fun to use. Loving it! I would possibly repurchase, although I am always on the fence about repurchasing fragrance as I like to change it up.

I got these because I had bruised my tailbone the season before. The size small was so big that the tailbone protection would shift all over the place. The short it self is really baggy and hard to fit under layers. These things combined together forced me to frequently adjust while on the mountain...If you don't want to look like you're picking a wedgie all the time, go with something more form fitting.

Published on the twelfth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks, Loose Nukes explores an even more frightening possibility: nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorists. From Kyrgyzstan to Kashmir to Britain, from Washington to New York to Chicago to Alaska, we follow the Mushrooms (anarchists with The Bomb) and the man who would stop them, nuclear nonproliferation expert Coot Jenkins. The physical devastation and human suffering that even a small nuclear weapon can cause become horribly apparent as the Mushrooms begin their attacks.

text: My husband died in February 2005 of Alzheimers. It was unfortunate that this drug, which had been used for a least a decade in Germany, was not available in the USA until 2004. It took the FDA nearly 10 months to approve it and then it was too late for my husband to realize the full benefit of this drug. There was a man in the same facility as my husband's who was treated with this drug in Germany at the very onset of his Alzheimers and he was cognitive for much longer than my husband on Aricept even though (I was told by his wife) his symptoms started around the same time my husband's did. Since my husband was a veteran of WWII, we were privileged to have the VA cover the expense of this medicine in his last year of life. I would like to add that the dosage prescribed in Germany at that time was higher than what was prescribed here in the States.

Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen
Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen
Other names | Basset Griffon Vendéen (Grand), GBGV | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Country of origin | France | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dog (Canis lupus familiaris) |
The Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen is a dog breed from France.
Grand Basset Griffon Vendéens a long-backed, short legged hunting breed of dog of the hound type, originating in the Vendée region of France. They are still used today to hunt boar, deer, and to track rabbit and hare, but are more commonly kept as a domestic pet.
They are pack dogs, so owners should either spend a lot of time with them or get a second dog or cat. They have a happy and confident personality, which can sometimes manifest itself as disobedience, but they are great companions.
The UK Kennel Club conducted a health survey of Basset Griffon Vendéens (Petit and Grand varieties combined) in 2004.[1] This is apparently the only completed health survey (as of July 16, 2007)[2] that might include Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen, but it is unclear what proportion of dogs in the survey were Grand Basset Griffon Vendéens instead of the more common Petit.
Average longevity of 76 deceased Basset Griffon Vendéens (varieties combined) in the 2004 UK Kennel Club survey was 12.1 years (maximum 17.3 years).[1] Leading causes of death were cancer (33%), old age (24%), and cardiac (7%).
Compared to surveyed longevities of other breeds of similar size, Basset Griffon Vendéens have a typical or somewhat higher than average life expectancy.[3]
Among 289 live Basset Griffon Vendéens (varieties combined) in the 2004 UKC survey, the most common health issues noted by owners were reproductive, dermatologic (dermatitis and mites), and aural (otitis externa, excessive ear wax, and ear mites).[1]

Ok, someone answer me this..... What is going to stop these companies from breeding these GM fish with normal fish?

If we eat fish from a fish farm, they are already safe. They won't and don't have PCB's as they would have coming from the wild. How can they say it would be healthier for us to eat farmed fish that grow twice as fast??? That's just dumb.

Remember when they said tuna has more mercury than the swine flu vaccine? Maybe they were referring to genetically modified tuna.
Either way it is not comparable at all to being injected with mercury containing vaccines. I would rather eat some tuna laced with mercury than having it injected directly into me.

Hooked II
by candersThis is an update to a build I did last spring. I upgraded the CPU, GPU, PSU and added a RAID.
The PC is used for programming, gaming and some video editing.
My original CPU was not a K series and consequently did not match the Z motherboard. I thought I'd go with the 3570k and try my hand at overclocking. Overclocking is something new for me, so that will be my next research project.
Adding the RAID was a bit of a challenge. I thought that since my OS was on a separate drive, I could just configure the RAID by itself. However, Windows would not recognize the RAID. After some more research I ended up reinstalling my OS. That was a bit of a setback but everything is up and running now and the RAID works well.
With the parts I swapped out, I am thinking of putting together an HTPC.
I'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks for checking in.
