Newton's three laws of motion laid the foundation for modern physical science. They are the base of modern mechanical science.
Newton's third law states that when a body exerts force on a separate body, that other body exerts an equal and opposite amount of energy on the first body.
This basically means that when you hit a bump, the torsion bar takes that amount of energy and pushes back with the same amount of force, generally using resistance built up in the bar.
There are a lot of things about gravity scientistw still don't know, but these observations of gravity made over 250 years ago are still relevant.

He's a hater and a wrecker, but I feel sorry for Rudd
PUBLISHED: 23 Mar 2013 00:30:00 | UPDATED: 23 Mar 2013 04:56:02PUBLISHED: 23 Mar 2013 PRINT EDITION: 23 Mar 2013Comment
Mark Latham
Thursday's fiasco in Canberra may not have flushed out Kevin Rudd as a leadership challenger in a party room ballot, but it has exposed the delusional nature of his leadership ambitions. His hope that Labor might arrive at a cross-factional consensus on the need to restore him to The Lodge was shockingly misplaced. A majority of his caucus colleagues despise him with an intensity rarely seen in politics, even by the toxic standards of the modern system.
To their credit, in a strong, principled act of defiance, these MPs have said they would rather die on their feet with Julia Gillard than live on their knees under Rudd. This is something high-prancing Tories will never understand – the guts and determination of people who believe in something bigger than themselves to make a stand, not because it's easy or convenient, but because it's the right thing to do. It's an echo of the incomparable Ben Chifley: things worth fighting for, no matter the odds stacked against the cause of Labor. Maybe there is life in the old, battle-scarred beast after all.
When the government's senior figures went public in February last year with concerns about Rudd's leadership style, some commentators thought it was hyperbole, overblown rhetoric in the white heat of a leadership challenge. The past fortnight, however, has confirmed the validity of this critique. Rudd's style is dysfunctional and chaotic, not just in running a government but in his management of internal party affairs.
Normally, in running for party leadership, candidates rely on a "Council of War", a tight, hard-headed group of political professionals. When I defeated Kim Beazley in December 2003, for instance, I was fortunate to have highly skilled warriors like Laurie Brereton, Peter Cook and Gillard on my side.
By comparison, Rudd's operation has been amateur hour. He has encouraged the dregs of the Labor movement – the likes of Joel Fitzgibbon, Ed Husic, Justine Elliot and Alan Griffin – to destabilise the Prime Minister's leadership on his behalf.
There was never any plan for where this process might lead. It was chaos for the sake of chaos. It was disorder piled on disorder. Simon Crean's sad and confused intervention in his two press conferences on Thursday, the second of which triggered the leadership spill, was simply a public manifestation of the hopelessness of this approach. Crean and the other co-conspirators were left stranded as their candidate failed to front for the ballot. They must be reflecting today on how badly they were used and abandoned by Rudd. As old Jack Lang used to say: "In politics, if you nurse a mug for long enough, he's bound to die in your arms."
The most urgent repair job inthe party concerns the NSW Right. For the first time in a Federal leadership contest, the faction has been comprehensively routed. Its two leading Ruddites – Fitzgibbon and Chris Bowen – are diminished figures.
Its only way forward is for a new generation of leaders, such as Jason Clare, to move beyond the Graham Richardson's "whatever it takes" culture and develop new policy ideas and relevance. Clare should call on one of his predecessors in Blaxland, the greatest ever product of the NSW Right, Paul Keating, as a mentor for this project. The week's leadership shambles also confirmed two disturbing aspects of Rudd's character. The first is his willingness to allow dysfunctionality to swirl around him, as long as he remains at the centre of media attention. In Rudd-land, all coverage is good coverage, feeding his need for a daily hit of publicity.
The second trait is an all-consuming thirst for revenge. Since he lost the prime ministership three years ago, Rudd has used every waking moment to destabilise and destroy Gillard's leadership. He is a hater and a wrecker on a scale not seen in Labor politics since Billy Hughes and the First World War conscription split.
Rudd once said that as a nation, Australia had reached a fork in the road. This is now true of his own direction in politics. He needs to understand that blind, unfocused revenge, practised over months, growing into years, has a habit of destroying those who foster it.
The majority of caucus is now ridiculing Rudd and his hapless allies. His erstwhile supporters, having been chewed up and spat out publicly, are seething with anger. Tabloid newspapers have labelled him "Chicken Kev" – political death in a nation which prides itself on the importance of having a go.
This is the world Rudd has created for himself. For anyone interested in running for elected office, it is a telltale lesson in the corrosive impact of unlimited revenge.
I never thought I would say this, but I genuinely feel sorry for Rudd. We are witnessing the slow-burning demise of a highly talented individual, someone who once offered his party and the Australian people hope for a better future.
To paraphrase the great Gareth Evans: the dogs are pissing on your swag, Kevin, it's time to move on.

1970 | Wolfgang Helfrich and Martin Schadt invent Twisted-Nematic (TN) LCD |
1971 | Optel makes and sells DSM LCD digital wristwatches |

1988 | Isamu Washizuka and colleagues demonstrate 14-inch, TFT-AM, color LCD video monitor |
1989 | Merck and Chisso synthesize fluorinated liquid crystals for TFT-AM displays |
1992 | Gunter Bauer and colleagues propose In-Plane Switching (IPS) mode |
1997 | Multidomain Vertical Alignment (MVA) mode is developed |
1998 | Patterned Vertical Alignment (PVA) mode is developed |
2005 | Volume of LCD sales surpasses that of cathode-ray tubes (CRTs) |
2009 | Sharp builds 10th-Generation (3.13 m x 2.68 m mother glass) LCD factory |
This paper reviews the developments from 1962 when the LCD was first proposed within RCA, to 1988, when Sharp demonstrated a 14-inch, full-color, full-motion display, launching the LCD TV industry. The article then describes the progress made in the last 25 years, such as VA and IPS operation modes, LED back lighting, terminally fluorinated liquid-crystals, and more efficient manufacturing technology for ever-larger displays.
Liquid-crystal displays (LCD) comprise a unique blend of chemistry, physics, and engineering that required the efforts of researchers around the world. They were conceived in 1962 at RCA Laboratories in Princeton, New Jersey, and RCA demonstrated them publicly in 1968. Two years later the twisted-nematic mode of operation was invented in Switzerland and Ohio, and in 1972 UK researchers synthesized cyanobiphenyl liquid crystals. Together these inventions enabled the commercialization of LCDs. During the 1970s and early 1980s manufacturers supplied small LCDs for portable products such as digital watches and pocket calculators.
Development of larger and more colorful displays proceeded incrementally until 1988. Then Sharp Corporation made a significant advance, demonstrating a 14-inch, full-color, full-motion display using an active-matrix TFT (thin-film-transistor) array. Observing this, Japanese leaders of the display industry were convinced that LCDs would replace CRTs, and committed to making LCDs a major industry in Japan. Large-scale displays were first supplied for personal computers and then to television receivers. In the second half of 1990s, the industry started migrating to Korea and Taiwan as researchers developed techniques to improve the display and manufacture of LCDs of increasing dimensions. In 2005, the LCD industry surpassed the CRT industry in production volume and in 2011 achieved a production value over 100 billion dollars. The technology's growth has had numerous social and cultural effects, easing the acceptance of cell and smart phones, enabling the development of portable computers, and changing the design of homes as the panel TV replaced the traditional television receiver box.

If you poke around in their kicky web site, you'll come across this shocking graphic:
- Marilynne Robinson, from her novel Housekeeping]]>
If you want a translation, luckily I speak fluent Pentagon. So what "disproportionate" means is—well, imagine that you're watching some little hanger-on who tags along with you get his ass whipped by a bully, and you say, "That's inappropriate!" I mean, instead of actually helping him. That's what "disproportionate" means from the Pentagon: "We're not going to lift a finger to help you, but hey, we're with you in spirit, little buddy!"Less comprehensive (and funny), but no less informative, is Mark Ames's take on things, and in particular John McCain's delusional reaction to them.
I'm putting this story up because I just told it to someone the Sunday night, and then today Teresa Nielsen Hayden linked to one of Stephen Malinowski's music animations on Making Light. Okay, so the universe wants me to tell this story. Here it is. It's both pointless and kind of wonderful.
About 8 years ago, I was in Paris with a bunch of people including my friend Kay. Kay has friends who live in Paris, an American woman married to a French man. I should say a Parisian man, or more specifically a man of the 13th arrondisement, because that's where he holds court. Fabienne is one of those people who knows everyone, and whom everyone knows. He's big and bearded and jolly, like a character in a Marcel Pagnol movie, and people love him. In the entire time I've known him, I've never been in a public place with him and not had two or three people walk up to him to say hello.
Fabienne is a tinkerer, and his neighborhood is full of workshops. One afternoon, he took us to visit his friend Pierre. Pierre was an intense little guy whose enormous workshop was an utter shambles of boxes and old furniture and the kind of detritus that you see at the Marche des Puces - mountains of discarded ephemera that look perfectly ordinary if you're French, but alien and magical if you're not.
In the middle of this mess was his creation. It was an old computer, connected to a cutting machine. The cutting machine, which was driven by software he'd written, produced paper rolls for a hurdy-gurdy. It took Fabienne (whose English is not terrific, though it is enchantingly weird) some time to get the point across, which was that Pierre had made this entire elaborate setup to make it easier for him to compose music for his favorite instrument.
At which point a switch closed in my head and I said "Oh! Like Conlon Nancarrow!"
Pierre looked up eagerly. "Nancarrow?"
"Nancarrow!" I said.
"Nancarrow!" he said.
"Nancarrow," I affirmed. It was beginning to dawn on both of us that neither of us could speak a word of the other's language. This was as much conversation as we were going to be able to have. We were crestfallen.
When I got back to the US, I dropped Stephen (who I've known from the WELL for a long time) an email message telling him about the man who composed for the hurdy-gurdy. Pierre's strips of paper, where the boxes tell the instrument what notes to play, are doing almost exactly the same thing as the rectangles in Stephen's animations, which tell the viewer what notes are playing. Their pitch is a function of the vertical position, and their duration is a function of the horizontal length. Both men had turned to software to implement these oddly similar visions, though Stephen's notes are bars on the screen and Pierre's are holes in paper.
Stephen wondered if Pierre would like one of his animations. Of course he would, I said. Just be aware that Pierre doesn't speak a word of English.
So Stephen sent Pierre a tape. And he included this note with it:
Stephen --> Robert --> Kay --> Fabienne --> Pierre

Researchers in this randomized trial assessed 76 patients with venous leg ulcers who received either ultrasonic debridement or sharp debridement with a curette. After the 24-week treatment period, authors note that patients receiving ultrasonic debridement healed significantly faster than patients who underwent surgical sharp debridement. Additionally, the incidence of complete healing was greater in the ultrasound patients, according to the study.
Kazu Suzuki, DPM, CWS, concurs that ultrasound debridement is superior to sharp debridement not only when treating venous leg ulcers but also when treating other open wounds. According to Dr. Suzuki, who utilizes a 25 kHz, low-intensity, contact ultrasound device in his practice, ultrasound debridement gives practitioners the ability to clean out micro-debris and biofilm within the wound.
Both the study authors and Dr. Suzuki note that a limitation to using ultrasound debridement is an increase in preparation and performance time. Researchers note that ultrasonic debridement took twice as long to set up and perform as sharp debridement (20.5 minutes versus 10.9 minutes). In light of the increased time, using conventional treatment might be more beneficial in cases of small, shallow or minor wounds, explains Dr. Suzuki, the Medical Director of the Tower Wound Care Center at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers in Los Angeles.
In addition to an increase in time, Dr. Suzuki notes an added limitation with any debridement procedure is that patients may often require several office visits to completely clean out the non-viable tissues.
"I often use collagenase ointment in between the wound care center visits to aid in debriding these remnants of non-viable tissues," offers Dr. Suzuki. He notes that adequate blood flow and proper vascular examination can help ensure successful debridement in many cases.
"In our center, we utilize a laser Doppler-based skin perfusion pressure monitor as well as a handheld Doppler to get the baseline perfusion on wound patients on the first visit," explains Dr. Suzuki.
According to Dr. Suzuki, when debriding a venous leg ulcer, specifically, "you may want to get a vascular specialist to check the patient for venous reflux and varicose veins," which often connect to the leg ulcer.
While ultrasound therapies have been studied extensively throughout Europe and proven effective in the United States, Dr. Suzuki notes he is in the process of drafting another ultrasound debridement study in Japan.

Can The Presence Of PAD Predict A Second Amputation?
By Brian McCurdy, Senior Editor
An abstract to be presented at the upcoming SAWC Spring/WHS is a reminder of the importance of assessing peripheral arterial status in patients who have received minor lower extremity amputations.
The abstract focused on 163 patients with diabetes divided into two groups: minor amputation (initial minor amputation followed by at least one minor amputation) and major amputation (initial minor amputation followed by at least one major amputation). In the minor group, authors noted that 22.23 percent had severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD) whereas 71.15 percent in the major amputation group had severe PAD. The abstract authors emphasize that referral to a vascular surgeon may delay or prevent major amputation.
Peter Blume, DPM, concurs that PAD is a common risk factor for major limb amputation.

Paul Ryan says Obama trying an "end run" around CongressThe White House has secured commitments from some of the nation's largest companies for a plan to boost hiring of the long-term unemployed."What we have done is to gather together 300 companies, just to start with, including, some of the top 50 companies in the country, companies like Walmart, and Apple, Ford and others, to say let's establish best practices," President Barack Obama told CNN Chief Washington Correspondent Jake Tapper in an exclusive interview."Because they've been unemployed ... so long, folks are looking at that gap in the resume and they're weeding them out before these folks even get a chance for an interview," said Obama.As the economy slowly recovers from the recession, the number of workers who have not found a job for at least six months or more has grown."Do not screen people out of the hiring process just because they've been out of work for a long time," said the President.He will make the formal announcement on Friday. He's convening CEOs and others who have committed to the plan.The move is in line with Obama's State of the Union push to take executive action on initiatives that he does not need Congress to accomplish.The President proposed in 2011 that Congress prohibit discrimination based on unemployment at companies with more than 15 workers. Bills were introduced in the Senate and House, but little progress was made."Will we be able to have more of an impact if we can get Congress, for example, to pass a minimum wage law that applies to everybody, as opposed to me just through executive order making sure that, folks who are contractors to the federal government have to pay a minimum wage? Absolutely," said Obama.On Tuesday, he promised to take action raising the minimum wage for government contract workers to $10.10 per hour.The nation's unemployment rate fell to 6.7% in December, but the drop came mainly from workers leaving the labor force. Roughly 4 million people are considered long-term unemployed, those out of work for 27 weeks or more. Efforts backed by Obama to extend a federal program providing jobless benefits to that group fell flat this month in Congress.Weak job growthObama added that his administration will continue reaching out to the House and Senate on key initiatives."But I'm not going to wait for them," the President said.Critics have said Obama's push for executive action illustrates diminished expectations. But he stressed key accomplishments achieved through Congress during his five years in office, including health care and education."In no way are my expectations diminished, or my ambitions diminished. But what is obviously true, is we've got divided government right now. The House Republicans, in particular, have had difficulty rallying around any agenda, much less mine. And in that kind of environment, what I don't want is the American people to think that the only way for us to make big change is through legislation," Obama said.Companies to pledge help for long-term joblessIn a separate interview, Rep. Paul Ryan, the 2012 Republican vice presidential candidate and a potential White House hopeful next time around, told Tapper that Obama appears to be circumventing the Constitution with an "end run" around Congress."If there's something he thinks needs to be changed in law, then he needs to make the case to Congress," Ryan said, noting that there is an "effective way" to use the bully pulpit "to encourage good things."More from politicsState: Clinton email review not aimed at wrongdoingFeds prepare corruption charges against Sen.

Think Pink: World's Biggest Cupcake
Passion for Pastry's cupcake sets a new world record.
Record setter: Passion for Pastry
Location: Boca Raton, FL
Date: October 3, 2009
Cupcake measurements: 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide
Forget about teeny-tiny lunch-bag treats. A supersized cupcake trend has hit! Passion for Pastry, a shop in Boca Raton, FL, set the record on October 3, 2009, with its 5-foot-tall, 4-foot-wide cupcake, prepared for the second annual Think Pink Rocks charity concert presented by Steve Rifkind and SRC/Universal Records.
Five-inch sprinkles adorned the colossal 1,316-pound chocolate sweet, and it was crowned with 12-inch-wide cherry garnish.
The charity concert, developed by Think Pink founders, raises awareness of the breast cancer gene (BRCA) and funds for charities doing breast cancer research. The guests traded donations for bites of the pink-frosted cupcake at the pink-carpet ceremonies before the show.

However, it became very clear that the phone books were simply another way to get lost in the crowd for a very large amount of money!
We at Lawyers Marketing USA, Inc., will bring you to only those people who are in immediate need of counsel. In many cases, we get their names and addresses to you within 24-48 hours of their offenses! Unlike other sources, we use ONLY the primary sourced addresses directly from court records. This requires tremendous manpower and dedication to the job. "Garbage in, Garbage out" is more than just a profound quote in this buisness.
Accepting second best guesses from various internet sources is simply unacceptable!
The lowest bidder never worked well in Government/NASA, and it clearly applies to your data provider!
There are no quick and easy steps to success, only hard work and dedication to detail to make the "data stream" of addresses as reliable as possible. Our clients have repeatedly stated that when we give our best data to them, it is not the costs to them
but that it actually PAYS!
This proven marketing process was established originally in 1993 by its founder in his own law practice at that time, as the sole means of marketing and within 30 days had expanded his practice dramatically and hired additional staff and office space to accomodate the excess demand for services!

Whether it is the Earth's environment or the living environment, building a LEED certified residence hall can be a great benefit to the New School Student Housing Services. The Student Housing Services has given me the opportunity to live and work along side the ultimate users of my subject, and a vast knowledge of how a residence hall is built.
My proposal for building a LEED certified residence hall is to aim for a triple bottom line of positive results in Efficiency, Environment and Equity while having the benefits of creating an Educational living experience. My project includes a workbook and interactive website which makes provides informative resources on how to achieve triple bottom line solutions to current problems at the New School residence halls. This project can serve as a bridge builder between my constituents, keeping in mind that a building process should have a holistic research and design process.

My Cardiff
Sir Aubrey Trotman-Dickenson
Sir Aubrey Trotman-Dickenson, appointed Principal of the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology (UWIST) in 1968 and later becoming Vice-Chancellor of the Cardiff University 1988-1993, recalls the challenges and development of UWIST and its merger with University College Cardiff.
Sir Aubrey Trotman-Dickenson
I came to Cardiff from the Chair of Chemistry at Aberystwyth in 1968 as Principal of the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology (UWIST), like the first two Vice-Chancellors of the University of Wales, Viriamu Jones (Cardiff) and Reichel (Bangor) I had been educated at Balliol. My time in Cardiff if written in verse should have been in ballade form, with three stanzas and an envoy.
The first stanza would deal with the emergence of UWIST into the university sector for, although founded in 1866, it was the weakest of the Colleges of Advanced Technology, with less than 1500 full-time students, research income of £38,000, and no site that was deemed permanent. The main concern was to find a site in Cardiff, as the University Grants Committee would not support development outside the centre unless city sites were shown to be impractical. The UGC paid for an elaborate investigation on the basis of finding sites for a UWIST of 5000 students and a University College of Cardiff of 10,000. The areas deemed necessary and supported by the City of Cardiff which was to pay for 75% of the cost of land considerably exceeded the area now covered by the University apart from the clinical departments. The planning inspector reported against the scheme; though not on the grounds that the area was excessive. His advice was accepted in 1972. It was not until 1976 that a Minister finally decided that UWIST should remain in the centre of Cardiff.
While the site saga was being played out, UWIST had to balance its books. Academic and administrative appointments had to wait until the growth of student numbers justified the number of staff in post.
The development stanza covers a period during which the distinctive pattern of UWIST was set. Student numbers grew but the number of departments held steady so that their average size became comparable to those in many universities. The most important appointments were to Chairs. Young professors were sought because it seemed likely that more senior cohorts of candidates would have been picked over by universities that stood higher in the pecking order. Michael Bromwich who later returned to London School of Economics was 30. Other young professors, several of whom played a major role in Cardiff University included Mansfield, King, Spencer, OSullivan, Towill, Williams, Couper, Millodot and the librarian: Roberts.
UWIST began with a marked shortage of student accommodation, so a development fund was established into which balances existing at the end of the financial year could be placed. It was thought that over time good students would come where the living conditions were good. The students were notably successful occupants of the Joint Union Building.
The last stanza was marked by increasing financial stringency throughout the University sector. For UWIST it was a period of consolidation during which protracted negotiations over merger with University College Cardiff took place. UWIST adapted to the economic climate by the continuation of the policy of relatively few departments with effective use of limited staff together with delegation to Heads of Department of financial control of the money that could be attributed to their operations. Flexibility was maintained by the allocation of considerable sums to short term appointments and capital projects that yielded greater efficiency. Some monies were distributed by a system that bore marked similarities to the later national Research Assessment Exercise. At this time the first notably senior recruits came to UWIST including Professors Beverton and Wallis, and, as director of computing, Robinson.
The envoy, the merger of two colleges covered my last six years. Because of the manifest determination of all members to create the basis for a major University in Cardiff, the process of merger itself was smooth and rapid. We were soon into a period of further consolidation when the foundations were created on which the University has been built with notable success. The physical plant was transformed by the addition, conversion and modernisation of academic buildings. The Buildings Officer, Mr Simpson, brought all of them in on time and on budget, with only one minor slippage. The Bursar, Mr Austin, transformed the student residences.
It has been a pleasure to watch the continued ascent of the University. Cardiff has risen greatly in public esteem, and as the public catch up that estimation will continue to rise.

AMD has unveiled some details on its forthcoming Bobcat and Bulldozer architectures. Designed for low consumption machines, Bobcat is, in contrast to Atom, an out-of-order architecture, which should mean performance is a good deal better, AMD estimating it being able to give 90% of current performance in most cases for just half a current CPU die. To recap, Bobcat will be used in the forthcoming Ontario processors which will include two Bobcat cores as well as a graphics part: the first CPUs in the Fusion range.

Sending forage samples to labs for analysis is a good investment, says a Virginia Cooperative Extension animal scientist.
Still need convincing that forage analysis can be a good investment? Mark McCann, animal science specialist with Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE), offers these reasons:
• Test results provide quick feedback as to how successful you were in making quality hay. "Many times the weather and other uncontrollable factors (equipment breakdowns, etc.) spoil the best intentions," says McCann. "Forage testing indicates how far from the goal the hay quality is and provides some perspective on how much rain or maturity impacted forage quality. Many times the results exceed expectations."
• Identifying high-quality hay early can help you make storage decisions. If limited shelter is available, the best hay needs to be in the driest spot, he says.
• Correctly matching hay and cow needs is the most efficient and least costly method of feeding cows through the winter. Without forage analysis, additional feed can be provided needlessly.
For more information on submitting hay samples to a testing laboratory and comparing test results, McCann recommends VCE's The Basics of Forage Testing.

Shell and habitat utilization are quantified for 12 hermit crab species occurring subtidally in the San Juan Archipelago, Washington. The mechanism of competition for shells between these species is investigated using laboratory experiments to determine shell preferences, shell acquisition rates, and rates of exchange of shells via shell fighting. This information is used to estimate relative intensities of inter- and intra-specific competition for shells between the species in this assemblage. In contrast to earlier findings on intertidal hermit crab assemblages, a significant number (5) of the species in this assemblage appear to experience a greater reduction in their shell supply due to members of other species than due to other members of their own species. The relative amounts of inter- and intra-specific competition differ greatly for different species in the community. The high average figures for interspecific/intraspecific competition are largely a result of the presence of three abundant and very generalized species. In spite of the large number of species and relatively high ratios of interspecific to intraspecific competition, the species in this group are not close to a limiting similarity in resource use. There is suggestive evidence that greater selection pressures for divergence in habitat use may have resulted in the lower amounts of overlap observed in intertidal hermit crab assemblages in previous studies.

What can I say..I don't like this product. when I first got it I loved it, but slowly as I got more and more MAC eye shadows, I realized I wasn't using this at all anymore. First of all, its WAY to warm. Like a few of them look okay in the pan but apply with very warm undertones. That paired with the fact they are overly overly metallic, makes my eyes look swollen and almost greasy and just not good. I love love love my shimmery and metallic eyeshadows, in fact shimmer is basically all I wear, but this palette is just too much! Also the fallout is HUGE, especially on Nude Beach..that color is just unusable. The only three colors I adore in this palette are all three in the "day" row, heaven, velvet revolver and sexpresso. Those three blew me away! they were just the most lovely colors, but I can not justify spending $44CAD on this when I'm only using three of the colors. I'm putting this up for swap...
Lasting power and pigmentation were good though, thats the only reason I'm giving it a 3, but for me personally, its a 2 lippie product

This set has 9 beautiful colors. The day colors (top line) are mostly matte and perfect for everyday. The other colors will pop a little more with shimmer and darker shades. This is a nice set and all I will take with me (for eyeshadow) on vacations. Worth the price.

I've never been a huge fan of Too Faced, but this is a great product. It comes with little cards telling you where and which eyeshadow to place (I don't generally use them, but they're helpful). I mean, this so is cute.
Alright. So Heaven is a pretty solid white color, which is so easily blended and I mostly use it on the brow bone or as a base. Velvet Revolver is a very nice, kind of "sleepy" color. It's good on the crease or on it's own. Sexspresso is the most matte color in here. It's a almost deep, blendable brown which I don't find useful often, but it might make a good eyeliner.
Silk Teddy is pretty shimmery. It's nice, but it appears a little white on the lid. Push-Up is one of my favorites, it's sort of a brown slightly-glittered light burgundy. It's perfect, and very good on it's own. Erotica is kind of the less matte and lighter verison of Sexspresso.
Nude Beach. What can I say about it. I wish I could wear it. However, the glitters fall out and get onto my dark eye circles. And then people notice my dark eye circles.
Honey Pot is gorgeous and a nice, not over the top gold. It's not close to matte, and has the same kind of texture as Push-Up (making it my 2-nd favorite in this palette). Cocoa Puff is very true to it's name. It's a kind of bright brown it's extremely minimal shimmers.
All in all, I love it. And it'll take forever to hit pan on.

so, i love this palette for one reason. & that is the entire top row of shadows. and, well...that's pretty much it. for doing a "naked" eye, i find using shimmery eyeshadow defeats the purpose. the top row of shades is all i use (not that i haven't tried the others, i just don't find them to be that good) the packaging on this is just unnecessary, it's so bulky considering the small shadows you get. i do use this whenever i'm running late, so have the 3 colours i like in one palette is convenient for me.

I love it! The case is a little bulky and is made of cardboard which sucks, but IMO the price is right and I use it all the time!

I love the little cards that show how to get different looks. Don't try to do this for the first time for a special occasion, play with the colors and see what looks best on you. The colors are very true, not like a lot of eyeshadows that go on several shades lighter than what you see in the palette. The black really goes on black, great as an eyeliner, but it was too dark for me to wear as eyeshadow like the card suggested.

I bought this kit after swatching it and seeing how gorgeous all the colors were. I like that this kit offered two champagne colors, one with shimmer and the other with glitter, which is my favorite color to use all over the lid. I was afraid these shades might be too warm for me but they are so pretty with brown eyes, and the only shade I have a little trouble working with is Honey Pot, but used in the crease it adds a little gold sparkle.
I really like the finishes of these eye shadows, the ones that have shimmer never seem too frosty or metallic. (I sometimes find that Stila's Kitten looks frosty). The mattes I am not as excited about but they do still have their use since I mix them with the shimmer shades to keep from shimmer overload.
I compared this kit to my Urban Decay eye shadows and palettes (AIW, and Vegan palette), but did not find much overlap, except for Honey pot and Half Baked looked quite similar. Cocoa Puff is warmer and has more gold glitter than Twice Baked. Push Up and Smog are both bronzes but Smog seems more olive-y bronze and Push up a rosy bronze. Sin is also a champagne color but more metallic to me than Silk Teddy or Nude Beach. I don't have a problem with major fallout form Nude Beach like I would Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, and I like the shade a lot more anyway. I do not have the Urban Decay Naked palette but I am glad that when I do eventually pick it up, their set seems different enough to justify having both. For whatever reason I associate Urban Decay's eye shadows with darker, more sultry looks and Too Faced's with pretty, doll like looks.
Overall, I find I can create more varied and yet still gorgeous looks with this kit than Too Faced's Naked kit that I also own. Though I much enjoy that one I can only create very light, similar looks despite using different shades. Very glad I picked this one up!

This palette is AMAZING. I got it for Christmas from my Granny, so I can't really comment on the price (I checkout how much it is at Sephora though). This is my go-to school palette. The colours are so lovely. They are pigmented, they last for a very long time (even without a primer!) and you can mix and match them. The packaging is very pretty. Overall, I would be happy to buy this palette again :)

Color and Reality. When I was a kid, I used to wonder if everyone saw the world in the same way.
We can all look at the same grass, but maybe the color I called green showed up in my brain as the color my friend called blue. Maybe all of our colors were shifted around to the point where all the colors were accounted for, but how we perceived them was shuffled up. I thought it would be remarkably exciting, and hoped that I could see the world through someone else's brain to see if, in fact, this was true.

U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 1 cup(s) milk
- 1 tablespoon(s) milk, warmed to 110°F
- 1 package(s) dry active yeast
- 3/4 cup(s) sugar
- 1 teaspoon(s) sugar
- 2.25 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 2 cup(s) bread flour
- 1/2 cup(s) black raisins
- 2 tablespoon(s) candied lemon peel, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoon(s) candied orange peel, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon(s) ground cloves
- 4 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2/3 cup(s) confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) vanilla
- Make the dough:
Coat a large bowl with oil and set aside. Combine the 1 cup milk, yeast, and the 1 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl and let stand until bubbly. Combine the flours, remaining sugar, raisins, candied peels, salt, and spices in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook (or in a large mixing bowl) and mix on low speed. Add the butter, 2 eggs, and the yeast mixture and continue to mix until a sticky dough forms -- about 3 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand until smooth -- about 5 minutes. (If dough has been combined by hand, increase kneading time to 10 minutes.) Form the dough into a ball, place it in the prepared bowl, and turn to coat all sides with oil. Cover with a clean, damp kitchen towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in volume -- about 1 hour. - Shape the buns:
Line a baking pan with parchment paper and set aside. Punch the dough down, transfer to a lightly floured surface, and knead for 3 minutes. Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces -- about 3 1/2 ounces each. Shape each piece into a ball and place the balls about 1 inch apart in three rows of four on the prepared pan. Cover and let rise until the buns double in volume and touch one another -- about 1 1/4 hours. - Bake the buns:
Preheat oven to 500°F. In a small bowl, combine the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the mixture on the top of each bun. Place buns in the lower third of the oven and reduce oven temperature to 400°F. Bake until golden brown -- about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, remaining milk, and vanilla. Stir until smooth. When buns have cooled slightly, drizzle a horizontal line across each row of buns followed by a vertical line to form a cross on the crown of each bun.

Each week we will be taking a look at the rules and regulations of this great game that we call hockey.
Hat Trick
In hockey, a hat trick occurs when a player scores three goals in a game. The origin of the hat trick dates back 1858 and the sport of cricket. Bowler H.H. Stephenson took three wickets in three balls at the Hyde Park ground in Sheffield. As was customary at the time for great plays, a collection was passed around in appreciation. The following day he was presented with a cap or hat that was bought with the proceeds.
After a hat trick is achieved in hockey, fans toss their hats onto the ice to commemorate the occasion. So make sure, if you are at a Devils game and a player scores three goals, you throw your hat onto the ice to show your appreciation.
Other variations of the hat trick include
- Natural hat trick – scoring three goals in succession with no one scoring in between
- Gordie Howe hat trick – registering a goal, an assist and a fight — something its namesake did regularly
- Texas hat trick – scoring four goals in a game — because everything is bigger in Texas

AirAttack is an airplane shooting game that is situated in the "bullet hell" genre. As you guide your poor little plane around the screen, everything is shooting something at you. The bullet quantity isn't nearly as bad as some other games in the genre, but it's still tough.
As you would expect, you use your finger to guide the plane in an effort to dodge the swarming bullets, missiles, flames, and strange blue and green things that are probably following you around the screen. Your weapon shoots automatically, so there is no need to worry about unleashing havoc on your enemies. In addition, you are given a number of other weapons that you can purchase at checkpoints as well as a bomb that has infinite ammo.
Checkpoints show up a few times in each mission throughout the 8 mission game. They are typically situated right after a huge firefight, and conveniently come right when you think you are going to die. Each checkpoint upgrade area lets you spend money that you get for killing certain things on all sorts of upgrades to your plane, from wing men to extra lives to "lighting" (I think it was supposed to be spelled lightning).
The game mechanics work well in AirAttack (although double tapping the bomb to fire it usually moves my plane to somewhere I don't want to be), but the story or plot (or lack thereof) is confusing. Usually games like this feature an easily identifiable enemy, whether it be aliens or Russians or Nazi's. AirAttack has you killing Nazi's for the most part, but you also fight UFO's, maybe the Japanese, and possibly someone from the middle east. I say possibly because you are given bonus points for bombing buildings, and there are definitely some buildings with middle eastern architecture that are in your line of fire.
If you are into "bullet hell" shooters, AirAttack is a great genre game. It's not so great that it transcends genres, but it is a solid game nonetheless. For less than the price of a ridiculous bottle of Fiji Water, you too can be blowing the tar out of possibly every enemy that the US has ever fought against.
