The first part of the series is now finished and I sent the remaining renders to Scarlett last week, but she hasn't replied. Maybe she's on holiday, but rather than wait any longer, I've uploaded the whole set (59 renders in total) to mediafire.
Word of caution about mediafire- I've virus scanned the files at my end, but mediafire has form for adding extra nasties on while the file is server-side, so don't go downloading without decent anti-virus software, and if you find anything in the folder that isn't a picture when you view as thumbnails, it's not from me.

Valentines From The Heart
Handmade papers and gold leafing accents make it easy to send someone special a little love on Valentine's Day with this project from Krylon.
- Krylon Spray Adhesive - Clear (#7010)
- Krylon Leafing Pens - 18 KT. Gold (#9901)
- Krylon Leafing Pens - Silver (#9902)
- Handmade Papers – 1 sheet each: red and white
- Kreate-a-b.a.g. Template Kit
- Kreate-a-lope Envelope maker (Green Sneakers)
- Fabric adhesive
- Deckle Edge Scissors
- Gold or Silver ribbon and cord
- Hole punch
- Double-sided tape
- Using the Kreate-a-b.a.g. large template, place on white paper, following manufacturer's directions to create bag. (When working with hand-made papers, it will be easier to tear them if you brush water along the edge of the template first).
- Fold according to manufacturer's directions.

The ability of a given test to individualize evidence. In forensic science, this term is usually associated with blood and DNA typing, but the idea can be applied to any analysis that results in a classification or categorization of physical evidence. The terms are used in different but closely related ways. First, the discrimination index is the probability that any two people selected at random in a given population will have different blood types. The discrimination index is also referred to as the discrimination power. In the U.S. Caucasian population, approximately 42 percent have the ABO blood group type of A, 43 percent O, 12 percent B, and 3 percent AB. The discrimination index of the ABO blood group system is approximately 0.60, meaning that there is a 60 percent chance that any two people selected at random will have a different ABO type. Similarly, the isoenzyme system PGM has 3 types (discounting subtypes), 1-1 59 percent, 2-1 35 percent, and 2-2 6 percent and a discrimination index of 0.52. Thus, PGM has a lower discrimination index and is less likely to distinguish two individuals selected at random. Another way to state this would be to say that PGM has a lower power of discrimination. This is attributable to the fact that nearly two-thirds of the population is PGM type 1-1. Thus, if only one system can be typed, it would be wiser to select the ABO system since it has the higher discrimination index and is more likely to distinguish two individuals.
In contrast, the probability of discrimination (Pj) of a given system looks at the probability that any two people selected at random will have the identical type. Thus, a low Pj is desirable since this would mean that the odds of two people having identical types would be low. For the ABO system, the Pj is approximately 0.40, meaning the probability that two people selected at random will have the same ABO type is 40 percent. Note that the discrimination index and the probability of discrimination are related; they must both add up to one. For the ABO system, this calculation would be 0.60 + 0.40 = 1.00. This makes sense; the chance that any two people selected at random will have either identical types or different types must be 100 percent. This is like flipping a coin the chances that it comes up either heads or tails is 100 percent since those are the only two possible outcomes.
The more types there are within a given system and the more widely spread the frequencies are, the lower the Pj, and by typing more systems, the Pj increases. For example, the Pj of the PGM system is about 0.48, meaning that there is a 48 percent chance that two people selected at random would have the same type. This is not a very good system by itself, but if both PGM and ABO are typed, the cumulative Pj becomes 0.40 x 0.48, or 0.19. This means that there is about a 20 percent chance that any two people selected at random will have the same ABO and PGM type. The actual Pj for any system varies by race and other factors, but the calculation method is the same.
Another less confusing way to express the same idea is to look at frequencies in the population and come up with a one-in number. For example, assume a bloodstain is typed as ABO type A and PGM 1-1. In the example population used, the combined frequencies are 42 out of 100 for ABO type A and 59 out of 100 for PGM type 1-1. To get the combined frequencies, these values are multiplied together (42/100 x 59/iooj or 0.42 x 0.59) to obtain a value of .25 percent, meaning that 25 people per hundred would be expected to have this combination of types (25 percent). This can be restated as l-in-4. Because this is a relatively large number, it is not very useful for forensic work. However, it is not unexpected since both types are very common. If a bloodstain were found to have the rarest types, AB and 2-2, the same calculation using those frequencies (4/ioo x 6/ioo) leads to a value of 0.0024, meaning that 2 people per thousand would be expected to have this combination. Thus, discrimination index (discrimination power) and the probability of discrimination depend on the number of different systems typed, the number of variants of each system, and the frequencies of those variants.
DNA typing has largely replaced the typing of blood for groups such as ABO and PGM, but the same principles apply. Using the 13 short tandem repeats (STRs) commonly typed in forensic labs, it is possible to obtain powers of discrimination that exceed the population of the planet by several orders of magnitude. For example, using STR frequencies for African Americans, typing the first three produces a power of discrimination of about one in a million while typing all 13 leads to figures smaller than one in a trillion. This is remarkable considering that the population of earth is less than 10 billion, a hundred times smaller than a trillion. There are many issues related to these assumptions, such as the dependability of frequencies and population genetics, but the reliability of these calculations has been generally accepted.

Ship model AXEL THORSEN, a Norwegian gunboat of 1810The shipbuilding programm that finally led to the AXEL THORSEN was
the implication of Danmark in the Napoleonic wars. In the first
battle of Copenhagen in 1801 the Danes lost many ships to the
English. To prevent the rebuilt Danish Fleet from joining Napoleon, in
1807 a British Fleet with 17000 soldiers sailed to Copenhagen. They
issued an ultimatum to hand over the Danish Navy to the Royal Navy for
the duration of the war. The ultimatum was rejected. The British
encircled Copenhagen and bombarded it, until the Danes surrendered on 7
September 1807. All warships were taken or destroyed.

This is absolutely absurd. This page states this as a fact when it is a un-proved hypothesis!!! Just look at genetic code and proteins like clyde said... ITS NONSENSE!!! It doesn't matter if you believe in the punctuated equilibrium or if you believe it happened gradually over millions of years. IF you think it happened by mutation quickly so that is why there is so few fossils that idea is absurd also. Mutations take away from the genetic code... They don't add to it. It has never been found that a species has changed from species to species. Why don't we see half humans and half monkeys today??? The second law of thermodynamics debunks macro evolution. Where did the "Big bang" come from? Where did the particles come from? Nothing doesn't make nothing... Nothing cant just explode... You don't know any scientific facts to see that there is a creator.... Just look around.
Tiktaalik: The "Fishapod"
Illustration by Zina Deretsky, National Science Foundation
For the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth (February 12, 2009), National Geographic News asked leading scientists for their picks of the most important fossils that show evolution in action—seven of which are presented here, starting with this "fishapod."
Discovered in Arctic Canada in 2004, 375 million-year-old Tiktaalik had not only gills and scales but traits of a tetrapod (four-legged land animal), including limblike fins, ribs, a flexible neck, and a croc-shaped head.
Why it matters: Tiktaalik is seen as evidence of the period when our aquatic ancestors began moving ashore—along with other fins-to-limbs fossils, such as Acanthostega (Acanthostega picture), the most primitive known tetrapod.
Early Darwin supporters speculated that such fishes had given rise to amphibians. "Acanthostega and Tiktaalik have taken this to a new level," said geologist Donald Prothero, of Occidental College in Los Angeles.
The discoveries of these and other "missing link" species have helped dispel what Darwin called perhaps "the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory" of evolution--the former lack of transitional fossil species.February 11, 2009
Archaeopteryx: The First Bird
Illustration by Roy Andersen
First found in Germany in 1861, the 150- to 145-million-year-old Archaeopteryx fossils bear impressions of flight feathers on their limbs and tails.
Why it matters: This earliest known flying bird (illustrated here between a pigeon and an Ornitholestes dinosaur) was discovered within two years of the publication of On the Origin of Species, fulfilling Darwin's prediction of fossil creatures that would link major species groups—in this case, dinosaurs and birds.
Luis Chiappe, director of the Dinosaur Institute at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, says this classic missing link shares features with both meat-eating dinosaurs—in the wrist, snout, tail, and pelvis—and birds, "such as asymmetrical, vaned feathers and very long, feathered wings."February 11, 2009
Amphistium: The Halfway Flatfish
Photograph courtesy University of Chicago Medical Center
Revealed in 2008, this 50-million-year-old fossil flatfish's eyes are not quite on opposite sides of its body but not quite in their modern asymmetrical arrangement, both on one side of the body (modern-flatfish picture). (See "Odd Fish Find Contradicts Intelligent-Design Argument" [July 9, 2008].)
Why it matters: The lack of transitional flatfish fossils—showing the eyes slowly "migrating" over generations—has been used to refute Darwin's theory of evolution. But "Amphistium and [fellow fossil flatfish] Heteronectes show that, whatever the selective pressures might have been, the asymmetrical flatfish head did evolve gradually," said Per Ahlberg, an evolutionary biologist at Uppsala University in Sweden.February 11, 2009
Ambulocetus: The Walking Whale
Illustration by Shawn Gould
Discovered in Pakistan in 1992, the fossil skeleton of 50-million-year-old Ambulocetus ("walking whale") suggests it was able to walk on four legs—on land and in the water.
Why it matters: Explaining the leap from land mammals to whales was another evolutionary headache for Darwin, who proposed bears as possible whale ancestors. Recently unearthed fossils trace whales to a doglike predecessor of hoofed plant-eaters, and genetic analysis has identified hippos as whales' closest living relatives.
Fossil expert Donald Prothero of Occidental College says Ambulocetus is the "most complete, best studied, and clearest case of something with a whale's head, the beginnings of an aquatic lifestyle with webbed hands and feet, but still fully quadrupedal."February 11, 2009
Homo Ergaster: The "Turkana Boy" Species
Photograph by Kike Calvo via AP Images
Homo ergaster (shown in a museum display) was a small-brained but tall human species with body proportions similar to our own. Known largely from a 1.6-million-year-old fossil of a child found in 1984 near Lake Turkana, Kenya, the species is often called simply Turkana Boy.
Why it matters: Darwin hardly dared mention human evolution in On the Origin of Species. But the then shocking implication of his theory was obvious. Since the discovery of Java Man, the original "missing link," in the 1890s, the human family tree has grown rich with fossil evidence of species linking us to ancient apes.
Fred Spoor of University College London said that, whereas fossils of our earliest human ancestors "can very much be seen as apes who adopted a bipedal gait," Turkana Boy "is a true intermediate between modern humans and other primates."February 11, 2009
Hyracotherium/Eohippus: The Dawn Horse
Illustration by Joe Tucciarone
Known today as Hyracotherium ("hyrax-like beast"), Eohippus ("dawn horse") was the original name of the first complete skeleton of this primitive, foxlike horse, discovered in the southern U.S. in 1867.
Why it matters: When Darwin went public with his theory of evolution, there was no hard evidence to show how an existing animal had evolved from prehistoric species—until Hyracotherium, kicked off a series of fossil discoveries depicting the evolution of horses over 55 million years.
Paul Sereno of the University of Chicago says Hyracotherium/Eohippus is up there historically with Archaeopteryx. The paleontologist named Eoraptor—the small transitional dinosaur at the root of the dinosaur family tree—with Eohippus in mind.February 11, 2009
Thrinaxodon: The Emerging Mammal
Illustration by Johan Scherft
Identified from fossils in South Africa and Antarctica, this archaic proto-mammal emerged on a reptile-ruled Earth some 245 million years ago.
Why it matters: An almost perfect intermediate between mammals and reptiles, Thrinaxodon has played a key role in unveiling the evolution of mammals. Descended from a reptile group called cynodonts, Thrinaxodon was a cat-size burrower that had scales and laid eggs. But, like mammals, it had whiskers, warm blood, and, scientist suspect, a fur coat.
"Thrinaxodon shows mammal-like features beginning to kick in," said paleontologist Paul Barrett of the Natural History Museum in London. "The origin of mammals is exceptionally well understood, and there is a whole series of fossils forming a nice transformation series that shows how mammals evolved a bit at a time."February 11, 2009

After dancing with a full field of alternatives to Mitt Romney, Republicans, if opinion polls are to be believed, have settled on Newt Gingrich.
The race for the GOP presidential nomination is squarely between these two men a month out from the Iowa Caucus. And while they share similarly monosyllabic and atypical first names, they represent a sort of yin and yang for Republican voters.
The two will meet on a stage at Drake University in Iowa Dec. 10, when ABC News and Yahoo! sponsor a GOP presidential debate with the Iowa Republican Party and the Des Moines Register.
Send your questions for Gingrich and Romney.
"The biggest difference between us is probably our life experience," Romney told Sean Hannity on the radio recently. "He has spent his last, I don't know, 30, 40 years in Washington and is a career politician."
Romney has tried hard to make his status as a former businessman and one-time governor a selling point of his campaign.
"I only spent four years as governor, but I didn't inhale," is his canned line on the campaign trail.
But many Republicans aren't buying. And the latest alternative to gain in the polls is Gingrich, a man who very certainly did inhale politics, but has been out of the game so long that he can simultaneously argue he'd be coming at official Washington from the outside.
"I'm not a Washington figure despite the years I've been here," he said back in May.
Gingrich has also argued that his experience in government will help him be a better president. And he's dismissive when other Republicans try to paint his past as a liability.
"The fact is we've tried a inexperienced amateur," Gingrich told ABC's Jake Tapper. "He's a disaster. It would be nice to actually have somebody who actually knows what they're doing," said Gingrich. "My answer would be that if you look at my track record, balancing the budget for four years, paying off $405 billion in debt, reforming welfare, two thirds of those people go to work or go to school.
"First tax cut in 16 years, largest capital gains tax cut in history, unemployment down to 4.2 percent. First national Republican majority in the House in 40 years, first re-elected majority since 1928, person who worked with Ronald Reagan, supported Ronald Reagan, I'm happy to contrast that with anybody else, but I think that's a check off, fine, we got it. Now let's talk about what are you going to do for America, what are you going to do with the American people, and I find audience react very intensely to a positive solution-oriented approach."
But Gingrich's accomplishments in the government are also, in a lot of ways, Bill Clinton's accomplishments. Everything that came to pass under Newt Gingrich as Speaker of the House, also got by President Clinton's veto pen.
Romney was a successful Republican in a blue state. He signed into law health reform that became a model for the national system Democrats enacted in 2010.
All this leaves Republicans with a choice between two men who represent a sort of yin and yang of American politics.
One seems groomed for the White House with a political pedigree, a previous campaign in 2008 and movie star looks. The other was long thought to be done as a politician, who had reached the heights of power and provided the conservative foil to a previous president.
Most obviously different is their appearance. Mitt Romney is spit-shined and well-creased. He's fast-walked and energetic. He's got a dark head of gelled hair with silver at the temples. He's in impeccable shape. Gingrich, on the other hand, is a bit rumpled, with a shock of white hair. He's not trim and admits "I should lose weight," but says he's in very good shape and can go for days on the road with little sleep.
They're one of the best educated duos to face off in a primary. Gingrich was an academic turned politician – a former professor with a PhD in history. Romney went to both law and business schools at Harvard.
Romney is Mormon – a minority religion in the U.S. that is viewed with trepidation by some conservatives, especially in early primary states. He's been married to the same woman his entire adult life. Gingrich has married three times – something that some social conservatives view with trepidation. And he has been on a life-long religious journey. Gingrich was raised Lutheran and later became Southern Baptist before settling n Catholicism with his current wife Callista.
Both men are wealthy, but the circumstances of their wealth speaks to their differences. Gingrich became wealthy and a successful businessman in large part because of his government service, founding a network of companies and think tanks to use his brand – former Speaker of the House and Republican intellectual – to influence policy, advise corporations, and sell books.
Romney, despite a political pedigree from his senator and presidential candidate father, went about things the other way around. He found success in politics only after becoming wildly successful in business at the helm of Bain Capital Management.
Both men have come under fire from conservatives for some of the same moderate views. But they came at those views at distinctly different periods in their careers. Romney was more moderate in trying to get elected as a senator and later as governor of Massachusetts. Gingrich started off as a conservative agitator and won control of the House of Representatives for Republicans by opposing Clinton and pushing a "Contract with America." But he had to compromise with Clinton to end a government shutdown and pass landmark welfare reform legislation. Gingrich became more moderate on some issues at the heights of his power and, for a time, after leaving office. He appeared in a commercial with then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in 2009, arguing that humans contribute to climate change and that something should be done about it. He now says that was a mistake.
Romney's most controversial policy evolution is in the area of abortion – something he said should be safe and legal in the U.S. in 1994 during an unsuccessful run for the U.S. Senate against Sen. Edward Kennedy. Since moving to the national stage, Romney's position on abortion has evolved. He now thinks Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision ensuring a woman's right to choose, should be overturned.
Read about Mitt Romney's policy shifts over his career.
Read about baggage Newt Gingrich brings to his campaign.
Romney has recently started to draw contrasts between himself and Gingrich – saying critically, for instance, that Gingrich had a long career in Washington. Before that, Romney's campaign launched attacks on Rick Perry. But Gingrich, for the moment, has shied away from being critical of his counterparts, even as Romney, and especially Ron Paul, have attacked him for his long history in Washington and his previous policy positions.
Romney's campaign has been long in the making. He ran in 2008 and has a sophisticated ground operation, particularly in New Hampshire. His staff is disciplined and has been with Romney in some cases for years. Gingrich's run felt more spur of the moment when he jumped in the race. Some staffers quit over the summer when they felt Gingrich was not committed enough to the campaign. He has more than rebounded from those setbacks to become the frontrunner. Through all that time, Gingrich's strategy, as Romney's was over the summer, has been to focus entirely on President Obama. He won't say anything bad about the other Republicans on the stage.
All this leaves Republicans with a choice between Romney's steady campaign, which has been consistent, but never caught hold with more than a quarter of the GOP voters, according to polls. Gingrich was long out of the spotlight as a candidate when his staff quit. His candidacy has been mercurial and while he has jumped to the head of polls, it remains to be seen if interest in him will last.

2016 Smart ForTwo: First Look
Competes with: A Schwinn 10-speed bike, as well as the Chevrolet Spark, Scion iQ and Fiat 500
Looks like: A wide-eyed, caffeine-injected Smart ForTwo
Drivetrain: (Preliminary European specifications) 60- or 71-horsepower three-cylinder engine; 90-hp, turbocharged three-cylinder; five-speed manual or six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission
Hits dealerships: Fall 2015
Smart's ForTwo microcar has been around these parts since it debuted as a 2008 model, and it's seen few changes since then. Next year, a redesigned ForTwo will debut in the U.S. and the bite-size microcar will get plenty of new bits and pieces. Smart, whose parent company is Mercedes-Benz, says this globally designed ForTwo went through the same development program as the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
A Mercedes-Benz spokesperson confirmed that the turbocharged 90-hp engine as well as manual and automatic transmissions are coming stateside. A new dual-clutch automatic manual transmission and a traditional manual transmission are big steps away from the model's current, unruly single-clutch automatic transmission. Execution is everything, so driving the next-generation ForTwo will be the big tell-all.

The City of Long Beach has partnered with Sustainable Long Island to work on recovery and relief efforts throughout the community; discussing and implementing methods for rebuilding and revitalization, as well as increasing resiliency to future storms. The Long Beach Listens website is an informational hub for Long Beach businesses and residents; providing a channel to stay informed and have a say with ongoing projects of the City.
In October 2012, the Long Beach Boardwalk was destroyed by Superstorm Sandy. In early 2013, a successful series of community visioning efforts held by The City of Long Beach and Sustainable Long Island insured that the initial reconstruction of the Boardwalk was consistent with the values of Long Beach residents. To help in the second phase of construction, we continued our efforts to identify community values to help determine specific design elements related to the ways the community will use the Boardwalk.
The City of Long Beach is applying for Hazard Mitigation funding from FEMA on behalf of their residents to assist homeowners with long term solutions to mitigate against future storms....
In August 2014, we hosted three public meetings exploring the possibility of adding more features to the boardwalk in an effort to make it more of a destination. Adding more attractions will not only benefit residents, but also help draw more visitors and drive traffic to local businesses, especially during the notoriously slow winter months.
What does it look like in the future?
The Community Reconstruction Program has been designed by New York State to help communities impacted by Sandy rebuild their critical infrastructure in ways that increase resiliency and enhance economic development.
The City of Long Beach is looking for community feedback on its 2014 winter events. Please take the brief survey below and provide your input on a handful of winter events you may have attended last year!

A researcher and a Hollywood insider, both with ties to the disability community, are among more than 200 notable people nominated for Time Magazine's annual "Time 100."
The list posted on the magazine's website includes Jason Katims, the executive producer of NBC's "Parenthood," as well as Karen Pierce, an autism researcher at the University of California at San Diego.
Katims, who has a son with Asperger's syndrome, is well-known in the autism community for including a character with the developmental disability on "Parenthood" and making disability issues a significant part of the drama's storyline.
Meanwhile, Pierce is working to establish screening tests which could be used to identify autism in children as young as 12 months.
Others nominated for the list of influential "leaders, artists, innovators, icons and heroes" include everyone from Beyonce to Warren Buffett.
Candidates are up for an online vote through Friday. The final list of the "Time 100″ will be revealed April 17.

Hiking for Fitness, Fun, and Learning
Hiking can be a very fun activity for you and your children. It's a great time to have some family fun as well as being great for exercise and learning. To make it a fun activity for kids, you have to use your imagination. Kids don't find outdoor activities like this fun anymore, unless you can incorporate something that they are already learning or are interested in into the equation.

Houston may not be the capital of Texas, but it is the state's largest city, and it was, after all, named for Sam Houston, the only President of the Republic of Texas, as well as its first governor. Here are some of the best places to dine, stay the night, and find entertainment in the city.
1) Dining
Houston's restaurants serve a variety of ethnic cuisines. Manila Bistro is a Filipino restaurant; at Ashoka one can eat Indian and Pakistani cuisine; and then there is Hollywood Vietnamese & Chinese cuisine.
2) Lodging
Club Quarters, in the downtown area, is at 69 one of Houston's cheapest hotels; the building in which it is situated was once a landmark building, now restored. Hotel Derek is in a beautiful building that also includes Valentino Restaurant. Crowne Plaza Hotel Houston River Oaks has lovely trees in its interior.
3) Entertainment recommendations
The Houston Grand Opera gives performances in Jones Hall, and the Houston Symphony performs in the Miller Outdoor Theater in Hermann Park during the summer and in Jesse H. Jones Hall, in the Civic Center, during the winter. At the Civic Center, too, a nationally famous professional acting company performs in Alley Theater.

My first and last Rouge Coco. Lovely color -- the perfect non-shimmery light pinky coral -- and a pleasant rose scent, but the formula is terribly drying/irritating.
It is long lasting, the color is a pretty rosy pink. The packaging is classy and beautiful. Smells like old style lipstick which I like. But it is quite drying and accentuates lines, etc. Estee Lauder lipsticks are MUCH more creamier, and never drying, not even the long lasting ones (my favorite is the Stay Magnolia!), so I will stick to EL or Dior.

I hate to rain on anyone's parade but this is pretty blah for me. The color is pretty, but hardly unique. Pigmented, yes. The texture - I really don't get the hype about rouge coco texture. On my lips it accentuates every fine line and/or tiny flaky skin. I definitely prefer creamier lipsticks, like Dior serum de rouge. In fact, estee lauder lipsticks are creamier too.
Gorgeous colour but I must pair it with Rose Dilemma Glossimer to add some shimmer/sheen to it. On its own its sort of matte (for me) and blah - hence 4 lippies. As for the colour description everyone else has done a great job describing it so I won't do it. Its great paired with green e/s and pink blush.

Dear Rose Dentelle,
For years now, maybe 7, I have been looking for a replacement lipstick for MAC Bunny Pink. I loved that lipstick, went through four tubes and could never find anything that made me feel equally as beautiful. While you are not an exact dupe, you fill the bill astonishingly well. A soft fleshy pink (although a touch more matte, warmer and lighter than Bunny Pink) with a little Lancome Ideal lip liner I feel beautiful, my lips look softly pink and lusciously full and all is well with the world.
Hallelujah...you are not limited edition!

This is one of my favorite Rouge Coco colors. It is a corally-pink, but not too orange or too pink - just enough color to brighten up the face, but not over the top at all. In a way, It sort of reminds me of a cooler-toned version of the Chanel glossimer, Sirop. There is no shimmer, and as with other Rouge Cocos, this applies smoothly and is quite long-lasting. The finish is a demi-matte, but is not drying. There is a rose scent to the lipstick, but it fades away within 20 minutes of application. For reference, I am NC25 with dark hair and eyes and naturally pink lips.

Chanel's Fall 2010 Collection, 'Les Contrastes de Chanel' is my latest obsession. This was one of the pieces I picked up. Rose Dentelle in the tube looks like a pink with peachy undertones, however when applied to my medium pigmented lips it becomes more cool toned. By no means is this a bright color but it really is a stunning shade and very flattering on my lips (NC40 for reference). It is a Rouge Coco and if you own any you will know that it is very moisturizing and creamy. The staying power is great, averaging about 3 hours on me even with drinking water. I believe the SA told me that this would be permanent along with the other shade Chintz. I think it looks great alone, but also looks beautiful with Rose Dilemma Glossimer. I loved this so much...I picked up a backup yesterday! This is $38CAN.

I have suffered with acne for 11 years. I always have scars and loads of black heads. I have tried pretty much everything out there. I'm using red and blue light treatment. I'm also going to the dermatologist. I have been going for three months now and they have really helped with the black heads and my pores are smaller.
I use the cleanser, light exfoliator, toner, moisturize, and night serum, and I have noticed the skin quality is so much better and I'm looking more radiant and it's so soft, but the spots and scarring are all still there at the moment.
I have just started the pill again to see if that makes a difference. I am also using a small amount of benzoyl peroxide but the thing I found that works the best is good old Sudocrem at night. I will continue going to the dermatologist. If it's your first time, have a face mapping done and see what they recommend. It's free.

Mallard Behavior
Name: Carol Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
We had a female duck nesting in our bush, and she finally had her babies. She took them all down to our lake in our yard. 3 Male ducks have been bothering her and chasing her and mounting her. She gets upset and can not be with her babies, they all hide and when they come out, they all are getting chased back into the weeds. I am so sad and wonder if they will ever be able to come out and learn how to fend for themselves or if they will be hurt or killed by these mean male ducks. Does this all seem normal or common to you?
Sorry, yes, it sounds pretty normal. Male mallards are not very nice, by our standards. Pretty much all they are interested in is impregnating female ducks (mallards or not), and they certainly aren't interested in protecting young that aren't theirs.

LOVE this trio. It needs primer to really capture how gorgeous the shades are together. It's perfect for sexy smokey eyes and dramatic night time eyes, the dark shades also are perfect liners if u apply them wet. Love NARS' sleek packaging too like always.
Gorgeous shades, grade color payoff and the shades work wonderfully together. I would definitely repurchase it if I ran out of it ( and the backup, lol) and it was still available. It is my favorite blue :)
I've comtemplated on getting this trio for weeks and then when I did fork out the money to buy it from Mecca Cosmetica, I completely forgot about it, and it was sitting in my draws for months on end till now!
I agree with the first 2 reviewers that the blue in this trio is breath taking, I also think the same as them and agree that NARS should be a little more generous with the blue. This blue is how I wanted the blue in Kat Von D's Metal Orchestra the colour Dagger to be like.
Despite talking up the blue in the trio, the silver colour is also lovely and I do quiet like it alot, it really compliments the blue! The black colour......well black is black, nothing much to it!
I wore this last weekend, I had the blue blend all over the lid and blended outward, the black close to both upper and lower lash line and the silver in the inner corner with false lashes and it really did look fantastic. I got lots of compliment on my eye makeup and it's just something different from your usual neutral or black smokey eye.
I only gave this trio 4 lippies only because I found if you wear this trio without some sort of primer underneath(preferrably solid light tone primer or cream shadow), firstly the pigmentation of all 3 colours wont be as vibrant as it should/could be, secondly the shadows will fade and very quickly as well. I almost gave my trio away because when I first tried to wear it I had no primer and I had all sorts of problem with it, but with the primer, it is not a bad trio.
Extremely expensive here in Australia, only available in Mecca Cosmetica that I know, and it was about $89AUD. I wont be repurchasing because the colours were soo unevenly distributed, my silver took up 80% of pan, the blue was 15% and the poor black was like a thin strip at the end toward the right of the pan(over exaggerating LOL but its not far from the truth).

Okinawa is sexy and fun, and a nice change to your usual smokey eye. I do wish the colors were equally distributed in terms of size, but I still love this trio. The largest is silver, the second is a deep cobalt blue, and the third is a dark onyx color. I've used all three to create a stunning smokey eye for night time, but I've also just used the cobalt blue and the silver and smudged it on my eyelid as a daytime look. It also looks fabulous with a nude lip (NARS Madere or Little Darling lipsticks).
I doubt I'll ever use this all up since the colors are the traditional NARS quality - super pigmented, smooth, easily blendable, last all day, etc. Anyway, I love this trio and the colors are unique and beautiful.
The NARS Okinawa Trio is so beautiful and stylish. First, Okinawa is very special to me. My grandfather, who recently passed away, fought there in World War II. He was hit by a mortar shell and lost his right arm, but before that his troop would stay on the uninhabited islands and swim. He said the ocean was so bold and blue that it was nothing like he'd ever seen.
When I ordered the Okinawa Trio, there weren't any great swatches of it online. I was holding my breath that the blue in the middle would live up to the blue oceans my grandfather always talked about. If it was matte, I was going to be really disappointed. Well, my package arrived and I couldn't open the box faster!
Okinawa is beyond words gorgeous!
It consists of the perfect matte black, an out-of-this-world metallic navy-sea-blue, and a frosty metallic silver. The trio is about the size of a NARS' blush. So there's a ton of eyeshadow in here! There's more silver in mine than blue or black. My only wish was that there was more of the blue. It's just that special.
I don't think I've ever used a better matte black. You do need to pat it on but then again I've always had to do this with this color. The navy isn't really a true navy but a sea-blue navy. It kind of reminds me of MAC's Freshwater but darker and applies oh so much better. This blue is the EXACT blue I pictured from all my grandfather's stories about the ocean there. The silver has, to me anyway, a light blue sheen to it when applied. It's really faint but I swear I can see it there. All three of these eyeshadows look amazing together in the pan and on my lids. It's too bad this trio is Limited Edition. It won't run out anytime soon but when it does ... boy, the waterworks will flow!

We are planning our vacation for July 2012. The plan is to:
Day 1 Fly to Vegas from Boston
Day 2 drive to Zion National Park stay the night
Day 3 Zion National Park
Day 4 Drive to Bryce stay the night
Day 5 Drive to Page stay the night
Day 6 Page Arizona
Day 7 Drive to Grand Canyon stay the night
Day 8 Drive to Sedona stay the night
Day 9 Sedona
Day 10 Drive to Phoenix to fly home
There are 2 adults and 3 kids (17, 14, 12). Hoping to see many of the beautiful places out there. This is our first trip to these places and we may not get back there for a long time. I know it's a lot but we can rest when we get home, LOL
Is this a realistic trip? (Arizona, Utah)

This is very doable--no long days of driving.
What jumps out at me is that you are spending only one night at the Grand Canyon. My choice would be to spend two nights at the Grand Canyon and one night less someplace else--Sedona, for instance.
Now is the time to book rooms at the national parks. At the Grand Canyon, book a room on the "rim," if you can.
Report Abuse
Overall it's a nice plan.
You have 2 nights in Zion, Page and Sedona, one night for Bryce and one for south rim of GC ... some, like happytrailstoyou (above) might suggest less time in Sedona (or Page), it just depends on what activities you have planned in each place. For example if you are doing a flatwater float trip on the Colorado or a long tour on Lake Powell then 2 nights is right for Page (assuming you're hitting the usual places like Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend etc). If you're not doing something like the float trip or LP tour then one night is probably enough at Page.
Also, if there are things you want to do in Sedona, like Slide Rock state park and/or the backcountry Jeep tours or visiting Indian ruins outside town, then 2 nights is OK for Sedona too.
If you aren't planning on much hiking or a mule ride in the GC then you can do it with one night, just make sure you are out on the overlooks at sunrise and sunset to see the canyon at its best. Same with Bryce.
So overall, a well-planned itinerary, assuming you have enough 'activities' planned for Page and Sedona to warrant two nights at each. -

You might also want to check into the one way drop off fees for your rental car. Many Fodorites report they are astronomical when you pick up in one state and return in another.

Sounds perfect to me. Some people like Grand Canyon more. I do think it has the best "wow" for the first view. However, I think that Zion and Bryce have more to do for the average person. Although, hiking down into the canyon or rafting it certainly is awesome. The longer you can stay at any of them and the more you do the more you appreciate them.
As others have said, if you aren't doing much hiking at Bryce or Zion, then one night might be enough. There is a lot to do at each spot. Even a horse ride at the rim of the GC, Zion, or Bryce would be another option. Even a helicopter tour at Page or the South Rim of the Grand Canyon would be a cool option. They do GC helicopter tours from Page too(I am pretty sure anyway).
Are you staying North Rim or South Rim at the GC? You might even consider both.
Do check the cost of the drop fee for the car. It may or may not be higher. -
Report Abuse
It is only 4.6 hours from Sedona back to the LAS airport plus whatever time you want to spend at Hoover Dam. (275 miles).
Fly home from Vegas and avoid the drop off fee.
How early does you flight get into LAS? Early enough to get to Zion with some daylight left? -

I was a little concerned with the one night in G.C. also but we are not doing the mule ride or any major hiking there. We plan on leaving Page early arrive in G.C. - do the IMAX, take a helicopter ride and go check in at hotel (hopefully we will get one in the park). Possibly do the angel trail then or the next morning...we can leave there in the afternoon and drive to Sedona. We do plan on the float trip in Page so I thought 2 days would be better and in Zion we would like to hike the narrows (is that too much for kids?) and in Sedona we do want to do the Jeep tour so wanted 2 days there as well. There is a possibility to add on one night but I think the airfares were more expensive flying out of Phoenix on Sunday. As far as the car rental, I'm hoping I can find a deal. I can't believe how expensive it is. But I really did not want to drive all the way back to Vegas at the end of the trip. I think it will be a little bit too much. So the extra money is worth it to me (within reason of course, LOL) Thanks for all the input. Would love to hear any suggestions from others who have done this trip. Hotel suggestions? Restaurants? etc.

We are staying on the South Rim. Our flight into Vegas will arrive around 12:30 but I do want to stay there that one night just so we can experience it a little and then leave first thing in the morning to go to Zion (stopping at Hoover Dam possibly on the way). I think we will do a short horseback riding tour in Bryce (there's one for 1-1/2 hours) So much to see and do!! I keep changing my mind, hahaha

Hoover Dam is not on the way to Zion, completely in the opposite direction. You would pass over it on the way to/from the Grand Canyon from Vegas - another reason to think about flying roundtrip from Vegas instead of flying home from Phoenix. Going back to Vegas is only going to add a few hours of driving compared to Phoenix.
If you haven't already booked your flights, you may want to check into airfare to/from Phoenix and the price of a car rental from there. There is usually a drop-off fee but not always. Someone posted about a trip from Phoenix to Vegas (or vice versa, can't remember now) a month of so ago. I checked the actual price of a one-way rental just out of curiousity and found the one-way was actually cheaper than a roundtrip from either city. That isn't very common but you do need to check that out - price out airfare and rentals from either city as one ways or roundtrips for your actual dates just to see what's out there.
As for your itinerary, it looks fine to me. The Grand Canyon has a lot of viewpoints but you can only look at them so many times before it loses some of its impact. So if you aren't doing much hiking there, one night is perfectly ok. -

angel trail. Do you mean Bright Angel in Grand Canyon or Angels Landing in Zion?
The Narrows-anyone can do it. I would rent proper equipment from Zion Adventure Company. Do check to make sure the water isn't up to much and there isn't any rain chances. You do not want to be in a slot canyon with a flash flood or a threat of rain.
You aren't talking much more of a drive to Vegas than to Phoenix. Break the trip up with a stop at Hooever Dam. You wouldn't do Hoover Dam on the way to Zion. You would do it on the way back from the GC. -

I suggested Hoover Dam on your way back from Sedona to Las Vegas. The zipline at the Fremont Street Experience would interest the kids as well as the light show above the zipline.
For hungry kids it is hard to beat the buffet at the Golden Nugget. Get there before 3PM after your flight to get a better price. The 62 lb. gold nugget is impressive. -

We'll have to skip the Hoover Dam - got confused on the location. I need to make firm reservations for everything but I'm quite sure we will fly into Vegas and out of Phoenix. Hoping to book Thunderbird Lodge in G.C., Desert Pearl Inn in Zion, Ruby's Inn at Bryce. Any suggestions in Page, Sedona and Vegas? Thanks!!!

If you started early in the morning of day 2 you could see Hoover Dam and head north on the west side of Lake Meade and see Valley of Fire State Park and get back to I-15 within about 3 hours. Check the map.

I suggest staying "in park"-Zion Lodge, Bryce Lodge.
Report Abuse
You actually have more time than you think so I would start planning for it that way.
At first glance you don't have enough time in Zion.
But Day 4 swhould be mostly spent in Zion. Maybe on the way out the East Exit you can hike Canyon Overlook.
No need to leave more than 3 hours before sunset. Then you'll get to Bryce and see the sunset from Sunset Point. The next day you can get up very early if you want and watch the sunrise from bryce Point. Then after a byite for breakfast you can go down into the hoodoos. Maybe Navajo Loop going down and Queens Garden back up.
Then you can leave for Page in mid-afternoon.
For Sedona the beauty is not the town but the surrounding red rocks. So research that a bit.
Maybe Boynton Canyon Vista. Very short and extremely scenic. Maybe a Pink Jeep ride to Broken Arrow trail. Or just hike around the Bell Rock area. -

Overall your plan looks very comprehensive and well-paced. The only thing that raised alarm bells for me was your plan to fly into Las Vegas and out of Phoenix. This typically means paying a hefty dropoff charge since major cities tend to be so spread out in this part of the country and logistics of getting rental cars back to their bases tend to be somewhat costly.
Also, getting lodging inside the park is going to be difficult, even this far out, so start working on that NOW. Visit www.grandcanyonlodges.com or call 888-297-2757. If unable to find lodging inside the park, Tusayan (aka "Grand Canyon Village South") is your next best option. After that, Williams or Flagstaff.

GCarbone- you mentioned the expense of car rental. Our last booking was made through expedia and we had an amazing deal from DOLLAR for a car for a week out of the Phoenix airport. That and Hotwire might help you find a good rate. We booked ahead and saved lots.

Did anyone mention Glen Canyon dam in Page? It is easier and cheaper to take a tour there, it is just as big (a little shorter but a little wider)
In Page the Marriott, the Days Inn, the Quality Inn. Some of the older motels still have life like bashful Bob's or Lulu's. -

I'm doing a similar trip in June 2012, so can let you know how it goes! We are fyling from London to Vegas, for two nights, then Zion Park (2 nights), Bryce (1), Capitol Reef (1), Moab (2), Monument Valley (2), Flagstaff, and then Phoenix to fly home.
I drove from South Rim GC to Vegas last year in a day, took about 4 hours, and we stopped at Hoover Dam. As a few people suggest, might be worth it to avoid the one-way fee's. -

very do-able, we drove from Vegas to Zion to Bryce and then down to Page in one day. Your trip sounds much better!

We did this trip in reverse. We flew to Phoenix then travelled to Sedona, had 1 night but still managed to go on a trip of the area. Then went on to Kingman, Hoover Dam then on to Vegas. After couple nights in Vegas went on a 4 day bus tour. 1 night stay on Canyon rim 1 night Page overlooking Lake Mead and 1 night Bryce canyon. There were also trips to Monument Valley and Zion National park. The tour made sure you seen all places of interest. It was fantastic. We had plenty of free time to look around. We then returned and had another 2 nights in Vegas before flying home. This was all done in 11 days.We went in September and it was quite cold in Bryce and Zion due to it's elevation. Vegas was in mid 80's. So take jackets with you.
Whatever way you do this trip you will have a great time. We booked the 4 day trip through Travelscope. -

@jvb1982: I agree with spirobulldog that 1 night tends to be enough for Monument Valley. Be sure to do a backcountry tour of some kind with a Navajo guide, either by horseback or 4x4. If you do take us up on the suggestion to lop 1 night off your Monument Valley leg, perhaps give Moab a 3rd night, or maybe head back to Flagstaff via Canyon de Chelly with an overnight there. Map ->: http://g.co/maps/99fyg Probably too late to get lodging in the park, but you might be able to find something in Chinle AZ http://bit.ly/IBTJBS Nothing luxurious, mind you, it is a reservation town after all, but the scenery at the canyon itself is beautiful.
No matter what you decide be sure to pick up an America the Beautiful Federal Lands Access Pass. For $80 this card gets you into all the National Parks and Monuments in the US for 1 year. Won't work at Monument Valley since it's a Navajo Tribal Park, but it will pay for itself on the trip you're proposing to take. Since you're coming from overseas, save the postage and pick it up at the first National Park Entrance Station you come to.

Translate this page Motorcycle Rider Dies in Head-on Crash on Ortega HwyFriday, February 21st, 2014 Issue 08, Volume 18.
It happened about 11:15 a.m. on the Ortega (74) Highway, near Cariso Village, according to the California Highway Patrol. The driver of an older Honda Accord, identified only as a 24-year-old Lake Elsinore man, was going westbound on the Ortega when he came upon slower traffic and decided to go around at a location along the twisting two-lane highway where lanes are marked for passing, according to the CHP. A 56-year-old Costa Mesa man was coming from the opposite direction on his Suzuki motorcycle and encountered the Honda in his lane, said CHP Officer Nathan Baer. Advertisement "The driver of the Honda observed the motorcycle approaching, and he applied his brakes," Baer said. "The driver of the Honda was unable to avoid colliding with the motorcycle, and the two vehicles collided head-on." The impact threw the motorcyclist onto the shoulder of the roadway, where the fatally injured man died moments later. The Honda driver was not injured, but his vehicle sustained major damage, according to Baer. He said alcohol or drugs don't appear to be a factor in the crash, but the investigation was continuing. Traffic on the Ortega was snarled because of the wreck and a road repair project happening near the location of the crash, according to the CHP. 2 comments
Very sad news. I've been on the ortega hwy ONCE will never do it again. What ever happened to the plans of taking hwy 79 out to the coast?
In my younger more foolish days on a motorcycle, my friends and I would use Ortega Hwy as our personal road racing course. We had no clue just how dangerous that road is. We had some close calls but none of us got hurt. Now when I read these horrible stories about death on Ortega Hwy, I count my blessings that I was not killed on that very dangerous road.

Courtesy of CDNN, I bought a Steyr M-40A1 w/3 mags for just over 390$.
Wow what a great gun. I had to sell my S&W 637 but this was the gun I almost got before the 637 and I've been kicking myself ever since.
The ergonomics on the gun feel great. I really liked the trapezoidal sights, it does seem that they help w/target aquisition from playing around w/it..
Another thing that I really like is the trigger is a little smoother than my Glock 23's and the reset on it is very light, just the faintest of clicks..
I have to get a holster for her than it'll be time to get her in the rotation..
Range report in a week or so..
