I have sensitive, acne-prone skin with some blotchiness and uneven skin tone. This foundation is amazing at making my skin appear smooth and even. It takes a small amount to obtain full coverage; you need to be careful not to use too much or it gets mask-like. Because of this, it should last a long time. The color stays true and does not oxidize, and coverage lasts all day. It's difficult to find an a compact mineral foundation that is silicone-free; this is one of them, and it's phenomenal.

This is my new favorite. I tend to prefer powder foundations for the ease of application -- I'm the girl that's always putting her makeup on at red lights or AFTER I get to work, haha. (Sorry, everyone.)
Other powder foundations I've tried: Too Faced Cocoa powder (great), Sephora brand mineral foundation (great), Amazing Cosmetics (meh), IT Cosmetics Celebration foundation (decent), Cover FX (decent), MAC Mineralize (awesome but it broke me out), etc. I've used Lucy Minerals, Southern Magnolia Minerals, and Tarte Amazonian Clay too and while I liked them, if it doesn't come in a compact I'm just not gonna use it. I have indeed also tried the regular Bare Escentuals foundation and I was one of the lucky legions that experienced a negative reaction to the bismuth oxychloride.
This Ready Foundation though, like I said, is my favorite. I found a perfect color match immediately, it applies easily and is buildable to FULL, really full, coverage (unlike my other faves) without using a ton of product or looking like a powdery, cakey mess. It lasts fairly long; if I don't mess with my face it stays intact but something like, say, taking a nap will fade it considerably. Looks good over BB/CC creams as well as on its own. It continues to look good too after a later-in-the-day reapplication. I appreciate the SPF 20. It seems to have decent (but not ironclad) oil controlling properties (another thing lacking in my other powders) and has that nice mineral-y finish. Doesn't oxidize, doesn't break me out (hallelujah), isn't cheap but isn't crazy $$$. I'll spend $29 for the one thing that I use every day and makes me look presentable to the world.
I prefer setting this with something to take down the powdery effect a bit. I'll use Juice Beauty's moisturizing mist as a refresher during the day, or the NYX setting spray if I'm going out at night. I find it makes it look a lot better than on its own and increases wear time. Packaging is a slim, matte black rubber compact that doesn't take up too much space in my makeup bag (unlike... *ahem* my other faves).
Highly recommend. Honestly, I'll probably stop the foundation search unless this totally fails me in the summertime!

I love this foundation!! I have extremely sensitive, acne prone skin and I've gone through so many different foundations, this by far is my favorite. I use this bare minerals oil control primer and hydrating mineral veil.
When I first bought this combo at ulta I really hated myself for how much I spending but it was so worth it!!
I have been struggling with acne for a while now and through the process of getting my skin back to normal this stuff really makes me feel confident no matter how bad my breakouts are that day.
I use a small concealer brush to cover my trouble areas then use the flawless face brush to cover the rest and blend. You have to careful about how much you use with this foundation which is why I do it this way. If I use the right brush I only need a little to cover breakouts.
One more tip with this foundation, getting the correct shade will make all the difference. Honestly I hated this foundation before I got the right shade. Wherever you go to buy this have someone match your skin tone!! I've tried the two shades closest to my shade (because mine was out of stock) and it looked awful. If they don't have the one they match you with, wait.
Hope this is helpful, again I love love love this foundation!

I will start by saying i loathed the original bm loose mineral foundation. I could never find a good colour match, always looking like a tin can due to the pink ashy undertones and shiny finish. It was very unflattering on my Indian Asian medium brown skin tone. I dismissed this brand, thinking they were clueless about catering for ethnic skin tones.
Forward a few years, i happened to try the ready version in a department store, thinking the colours looked much more yellow toned and more suitable for brown skin. The pressed minerals appealed to me and i liked the minimal packaging. It was a fantastic colour match (R330). Absolutely spot on, natural looking and undetectable. I have a dark red birth mark to cover and this does so beautifully and so naturally.
I can't believe this is the same company making the shades of make up. The ready is lovely for ethnic skins, but i still feel the same about the loose version.
The ready lasts all day long. I use it after moisturiser and primer (not always primer if I'm in a rush) and it lasts all day long with no touch ups required. Easily 12-14 hours. It also photographs amazingly. Beautiful, airbrushed and undetectable finish even close up. No flash back from the spf, no tin face, no shininess. Just perfect looking skin.
I'm so surprised at the negative reviews, but then again this always happens to me. A product that everyone seems to rave about never performs on me, and something most people complain about works great for me! I very rarely write reviews, but felt bad this product seemed to be doing poorly on the review front when its my holy grail product. And a small plea (nay - a grovel) to not change the formula or discontinue this product based on these reviews because it really is a massive improvement on the original for me (which i still continue to hate). I have repurchased this 4 times now, using each compact down to the pan and will continue to repurchase.
Well done and thank you BM !!

Love this product! I've used bare minerals original before when i was younger and had clearer skin. I came back to it after seeing one of the BM beauty consultants with it on looking flawless and remembering that this stuff saved my skin and really helped to clear it up!
I was helped to chose r330 golden tan( i think) which is yellowy toned to match my foundation!
As of yet i havent wore it alone because i haven't had time since i bought it! However i used it to set my smashbox studio skin as it has a dewy finish ( one for the girls who like a full coverage face of makeup) it was beautiful, its a very thick, highly pigmented powder but DOES NOT go on cakey if you apply it correctly & with a light hand! It blurs all imperfections and makes skin look flawless!
I applied it a few minutes after the foundation had dried with the large RT powder brush and it was the perfect combination and setting powder!
Skin looked flawless and did not break up or show any oil ( i'm very oily)! This combo lasted 8 hours through a night out clubbing so a massive thumbs up from me! One of the best powders i've ever used!
Just use it sparingly for a flawless non- cakey base! I can't wait to try it alone, even if that doesnt work for me i'll definitely keep buying it as a setting powder as its cheaper than the ELDW powder!!!!
Hope this helps:)

If I can make one suggestion, it'd be that you go to a Bare Escentuals boutique or outlet and get shade matched. I used to work for Bare Minerals -- I provided shade matches all day, and even I had a hard time matching myself in this formula! I went to the BE Outlet here and they put me in Fairly Medium which is not a perfect match, but it's the closest match I'll get in this formula.
For reference, I wear Fairly Light in the Original formula, Bare Linen in the Serum formula and I'm usually NW 20 in Mac. -- But none of that matters because this formula is so different.
This foundation provides very full coverage and a little goes a long way. Less is more and if you use even a tiny bit too much, it'll look cakey and thick. In my opinion, if you like a natural or luminous look or you want a slightly more forgiving formula, stick with the BE Original.
To get the best coverage and results, you want to apply your moisturizer and primer (if you use a primer) then wait until your face is completely dry -- that part is crucial with this foundation. If your face has any lingering moisture or stickiness, this foundation will drag and get cakey.
I got the brush that is sold with the foundation (sold separately) but I don't think you really need it. For full coverage, any flat brush will do and for lighter coverage, I really like the fluffy Real Techniques powder brush.
Don't swirl or smear your brush in this product. You want to stamp your brush into the product one time. Then take your brush and dot four stamps on your face (forehead, chin and each cheek). Using long gentle strokes, gently brush it on. Buffing this foundation in as you do with the original and matte formulas can result in a thick and heavy look. If you want more coverage, go back and get a second stamp from the product, et.
For me personally, this foundation is alright. It does provide full coverage and for me, this foundation is dry skin friendly. It comes down to personal preference and I still prefer a very light and natural look. However, I think if you want full coverage or if you want something purse friendly and travel friendly, you may love this. Just please go get shade matched!

I just love this! I was so hesitant to keep this after reading the reviews and almost returned it but I am so glad I did not. Honestly you have to apply this right or else it can look awful. You also have to use a good moisturiser and good primer-body shops Instablur is great. I apply using a flat headed brush and press in it to my skin. A little goes a long way and it has taken me time to learn how to apply it. But honestly it has transformed my skin, I have not had compliments about my skin for years! I had cystic acne and within a week of wearing it I was getting so many compliments one someone even said it makes my face look like a doll. My acne is practically gone, I dont no if that is related to this foundation but it has troubled me for years and now has almost gone. Its so natural , I cant imagine ever using any other foundation now I have found this baby.

I should listen to all the reviewers. Chalky and cakey. Even if you manage to apply it properly it cakes later throughout the day. 35 dollars thrown to the bin. Damn!

I have Medium beige R250. I used to use fairly light in the original. A lil goes a long way. It is very full coverage, which can at time look cakey if you don't have the right brush, moisturizer, or technique.So if you liked the flawless buffed look of mineral makeup stick with the original. I personally love the convenience of the compact and using the precision brush I 'stamp' on the product and then use long strokes downward.
The colors are so confusing, you must go and try them on. It looks dark on the pan and swatches, but when rubbed into the skin the colors become really light. I actually am thinking about going up one color darker next purchase.
The compact is squarish and med sized, nice mirror, but the nars gummy blk coating gets dirty quick.

Holy Grail foundation here!
I was using the Matte Powder Foundation (loose powder) but I wanted something a little easier to use, so I went a little crazy and bought 5 or 6 different powder foundations, liquid foundations, setting powders, etc, all from different brands (Rimmel, Kat von D, Makeup Forever, Bourjois, Revlon, Pixi, etc) but none of them were just perfect. Some of them were great products that I will use up, but not repurchase. I decided to give BareMinerals Ready Foundation (pressed powder foundation) a try and it is PERFECT!! I always wore Fairly Light in the loose powder, but the reviews on the Sephora website recommended I go 1-2 shades darker in this formula. I ordered the R250, medium beige, and although the powder looked like it was super dark in the compact, it went on my skin perfectly! Smooth, natural, and flawless! It stayed on all day (without a primer) and kept me shine free! (For reference, I have oily/combination skin that is fair/light with neutral undertones)

The Great Comet of 1861 formally designated C/1861 J1 and 1861 II, is a long-period comet that was visible to the naked eye for approximately 3 months.[3] It was categorized as a Great Comet, one of the eight greatest comets of the 19th century, according to Donald Yeomans.[3]
It was discovered by John Tebbutt of Windsor, New South Wales, Australia, on May 13, 1861, with an apparent magnitude of +4, a month before perihelion (June 12). It was not visible in the northern hemisphere until June 29, but it arrived before word of the comet's discovery.
On June 29, 1861, comet C/1861 J1 passed 11.5 degrees from the Sun.[4] On the following day, June 30, 1861, the comet made its closest approach to the Earth at a distance of 0.1326 AU (19,840,000 km; 12,330,000 mi).[1] During the Earth close approach the comet was estimated to be between magnitude 0[3] and −2[1] with a tail of over 90 degrees.[3] As a result of forward scattering C/1861 J1 even cast shadows at night (Schmidt 1863; Marcus 1997).[5] During the night of 1861 June 30 – July 1, the famed comet observer J. F. Julius Schmidt watched in awe as the great comet C/1861 J1 cast shadows on the walls of the Athens Observatory.[5] The comet may have interacted with the Earth in an almost unprecedented way. For two days, when the comet was at its closest, the Earth was actually within the comet's tail, and streams of cometary material converging towards the distant nucleus could be seen.
By the middle of August the comet was no longer visible to the naked eye, but it was visible in telescopes until May 1862. An elliptical orbit with a period of about 400 years was calculated, which would indicate a previous appearance about the middle of the 15th century, and a return in the 23rd century.
I. Hasegawa and S. Nakano suggest that this comet is identical with C/1500 H1 that came to perihelion on 1500 April 20 (based on 5 observations).[6]
By 1992 this Great Comet had traveled more than 100 AU from the Sun, making it even farther away than dwarf planet Eris. It will come to aphelion around 2063.
It is possible that C/1861 G1 (Thatcher) and this comet are related, and that in a previous perihelion (possibly the 1500 one) and that C/1861 G1 broke off of this comet, as the two comets have many similar orbital characteristics.
Tebbutt's account[edit]
In his Astronomical Memoirs Tebbutt gave an account of his discovery:[7]
... On the evening of May 13, 1861, while searching the western sky for comets, I detected a faint nebulous object near the star Lacaille 1316 in the constellation Eridanus. In my marine telescope the object appeared much diffused, and it was with the greatest difficulty that I estimated its distance from three well known fixed stars. The object was hardly distinguishable in the small telescope attached to the sextant, and I found it necessary to employ a coloured glass between the index and horizon glasses, for the superior brilliance of the reference stars Procyon, Sirius and Canopus, when they were brought into the field of view, quite extinguished its feeble light. The measurements gave R.A. = 3 h. 54 m. 12 s. Declin. = —30º 44′ as the place of the object at 6 h. 57 m. local mean time. Every comet hunter knows how necessary it is to the carrying out of his work to have at hand a copious catalogue of nebulae, but this valuable adjunct I unfortunately did not possess. I could not, however, find the object in the limited catalogues at my command. I accordingly made up my mind to watch it, and it is well that I did so, otherwise I should have missed one of the best opportunities for introducing myself to the astronomical world. ...
Observations in writing[edit]
Granville Stuart noted the observation of this comet in an journal entry on July 1, 1861 while living in western Montana. The entry reads as follows: "Saw a huge comet last night in the northwest. Its tail reached half across the heavens. It has probably been visible for sometime, but as it has been cloudy lately I had not observed it before."[8]
July 1861[edit]
July 1
" | Light rains this morning, I went with Mrs. Brewer, to visit Mrs. Hampton. O. busy, preparing C. to attend a camp-drill of some weeks above here. A brilliant and beautiful comet appeared tonight in the same part of the heavens as that a few years ago, the train of this it the longest that I ever saw, pointing directly upwards.[9] | " |
July 5, 1861 . "I awoke in the night at 1 o'clock, when I had a glorious sight of the largest comet I ever beheld. The head, or nucleus, was large as Venus, and very bright and blazing, and about 20 degrees above the horizon, pointed to the north, while the bright, long tail reached full half way across the heavens. It was a most wonderful sight." James Riley Robinson, on the schooner Conchita, in the Mexican harbor of Agiabampo. [10]

Tifosi Optics Reviews
The sunglasses are great. Very clear and comfortable. I use them for golfing along with leisure, driving etc. When golfing it feels like there is nothing there.
These are really nice and even though they were ordered 2 days before Christmas, they were still delivered the next day. Love Zappos.
Reviewer: Michael Wetherup from Calgary
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Product is as advertised, shipping was fast and arrived on time. This was my first time using Zappos and it was a great experience! Highly recommend using them and I will in the future.
Reviewer: Kola from Denver, Colorado
Overall: Comfort: Style:
As the owner of five Tifosi sunglasses, the Tifosi Lore is another stylish, practical and reasonably priced eyewear. It's just gorgeous to wear and you're always asked "what type of eyewear is that?"
I like these glasses. I have a really small head/face & they fit ok (still a little bigger than I like). They are great for running/sports - very comfortable. They do sit a sort of a weird angle on my face though. But they are great for the price.
I bought these for my boyfriend who has a tendency to break sunglasses. Very nice pair for the money. He loves them, and says they are very comfortable. They also come with a hard case, which is nice for travel.
Reviewer: Bike commuter from Marshfield Wi
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I just got my in the mail today I'm a size 12 they fit perfect but I would love them to be just a tad bit longer in the leg I'm 5'8 and they come right at my ankle but I think they may shrink a bit when I was them!
Just bought another pair to replace the ones I lost. I like the fact that they fit my small head, the price is right, they're lightweight, shield my eyes well, and look pretty good. Also they come with a nice case and sleeve.
Reviewer: Nigel from New York City
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Pluses: Lightweight. Great protection/coverage. Style for miles. Adjustability (nose piece and temple pieces). Nice fit for smaller faces/heads. Good air flow (so far, no fogging on climbs). No Minuses yet. I haven't had these long, so I can't speak to their long-term durability. I use these for cycling. The Light Night Fototec lenses are perfect for me, as I often train in the evenings approaching and after sundown. No lens change-outs needed. The lens adapts to ambient light. The adjustability is very nice (at the three contact points), and I love the the rimless design; it's like not wearing glasses at all! Better peripheral vision (and protection), and when I'm riding in the drops or relatively aero, there's nothing (no frame) obscuring my vision as I look through the tops of the lens. I really like this a lot. Clarity and nothing in the way. The cleaning cloth/bag and hard case they come with are very nice, too. I replaced an older pair of Tifosis with these; had the old ones for years and they're still fine, but they're interfering with my helmet's fit/retention system. This Podium S model doesn't at all. And they look really cool into the bargain.
I have other Tifosi sunglasses and had hoped these would work. They are significantly narrower than my 2 other pair of Tifosi and thus, must go back.
Reviewer: from Runner from Kingwood, TX
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I live in Texas and, despite the high temperatures, spend quite a bit of time outdoors. Good sunglasses are a must for me, as my eyes are very sensitive to light. At first I was a bit concerned with buying glasses without trying them first, but Zappos will always do it right by their customers, so I gave it a try. I have no regrets whatsoever. The lenses have a very comfortable dark gray shade, I find them ideal when it's very bright out there. I like to run long distances, sometimes 2 to 3 hours, and those frames are very comfortable. They are also incredibly light, and very importantly they look great. Finally, the case is large but I never use it so it doesn't bother me.
For me, they start out too dark which defeats the purpose of fototec. The polarized effect caused a distracting shimmer on the pavement although this does seem to indicate it was blocking more glare than normal glasses. Compared to the old Dolomites the fit is the same and the adjustable nose piece is welcome.
Reviewer: Tianna Meriage Reiter from Alameda California

Love these! Love the fit, the color, and they're lightweight. The case us nice too, it fits in my purse -- most cases these days are way to bulky. As soon as I got them I wanted to order more just in case they stop selling them.
Love these glasses, but they should come with an extra nosepiece or a nosepiece that actually locks on well when lenses are interchangeable. What a pain to have to order (the nosepiece is a cheap $4.99, but shipping is about $7, so it adds up). Also, I've used mostly the red lenses for about 3 months, and they are already showing cracks. Add in a replacement lens and you almost have the price of a new pair of glasses. Thankfully, Tifosi glasses in general are much less expensive than other glasses, but it would still be nice to get more than 3 months out of them.
These are great glasses for style and comfort. They are light with a snug fit. The only drawback is that they are overpriced. They are an inexpensive pair of glasses masquerading as an expensive pair of glasses.
I ordered a pair and had to return them. They were too narrow for my head. They overall were a bit small. I don't have a large head by any means, I believe i wear a 7 1/8th hat.
I just purchased another pair of these glasses after losing my first pair. They are affordable and they work as well as the more expensive brands. I have worn them on 20 mile runs without any issues. These are perfect if you are looking for a smaller size frame.
Great glasses for playing golf or on the beach. good contrast resolution and eye protection. I like the wrap around style for greater protection. Zappos has been great in providing a quality service.
Excellent glasses for the money. My son uses these for bicycle racing and during triathlons and he loves them. Very comfortable and lite.
Reviewer: Tommy ball from Bellingham, Washington
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Like the glasses. They were about what I expected -- maybe a little large but not enough to worry about.
These glasses are great actually. I use them all the time, but I bought specifically for running. Affordable (as far as sunglasses go) and comfortable. Stay on well, just make sure you pay attention to the measurements. It has good coverage. It comes with a hard case, which is awesome. Never again shall my toddler destroy another pair of my much needed running glasses. It also comes with a soft case which is also designed as a wipe. Not top notch quality or anything, but I really have no complaints.

This phone is good in performance and display but weak in camera and battery backup. The battery feature should have been improved before release.

The nexus 5 is the best phone in this price range, it does come with a small battery & the camera is not the best considering other flagship models but the fact that you get the latest chipset from Qualcomm & the adreno 330 GPU along with 2GB ram & most important of all updates from google for the next 18 months at least makes this phone a value for money product, another stand out feature for me is Corning Gorilla glass 3 which means a screen guard is not required for the screen however some may disagree. Pro & Cons have been discussed in many other reviews so i thought i would state a few battery saving tips. 1) Screen brightness set manually as per requirement & not on auto. 2) Turn Off Google Now if not required. 3) Uncheck Wi-fi scanning even when wi-fi is switched off. 4) Bluetooth,GPS, Wi-fi,NFC & other wireless features switched off when not required. 5)Vibrate on keypress also switched off. 6)Refrain from using Live wallpapers. 7) Keep Widget usage to a minimum & keep as few home screens as possible. 8) Manually update apps switch off auto-updates as constant search for updates online does drain battery. 9) Toggle between 2G/3G as per requirement, especially considering 3G reception is still not great in india. 10) Kill all apps that you dont want running in the background.

First of all ,I will list down the pros of nexus 5. 1. Pure unadulterated android version,although somewhat you feel like its more of Google. 2.Exceptionally fast processor and bright full hd display. 3.First one to receive latest android updates. 4.Last but not the least,Best value for money phone available in the market in this range. The cons- 1.Average battery life. 2.No slot for external memory card, although you can get the 32 GB version also. 3.Not great camera. All I can say is,if you are ok with its battery life and camera,then just buy this phone,I guarantee you will not regret it.
By Dakshin Karthik
Hi I have been using nexus 5 for 4 months. Overall the phone is very good for its price. Pros: 1080p display which is amazing for movies Snapdragon 800 processor and adreno 330gpu can run any game smoothly.It is one of those very few phones that can run games as smooth as an iPhone. Camera is very good. Cons:But I am not satisfied with the build quality If you drop the phone from pocket,the screen will shatter. If you are able to use a case it is safe. The internal storage is small. Verdict:Best phone for rs.30000

DRESSED a la Hepburn in a tight gray sleeveless dress that exposed the pumped-up biceps of a serious career gal, Susan Wyland sat at the edge of her living room sofa. She didn't touch the coffee and snacks she had set out on a tray in front of us. Instead, Ms. Wyland, the managing editor of Real Simple, a new magazine from Time Inc., fantasized about her ideal reader, described in a press release as ''today's overextended, overcommitted, overscheduled woman'' in her 30's and 40's.
''I see her going into a room by herself, sitting in a comfortable chair with a good view or taking it into the bathtub and shutting the door,'' said Ms. Wyland, whose premiere issue hits the news racks on Monday with earnest articles about cleaning the toilet, paying the bills and doing the laundry.
That's not exactly bath-time reading for any of the stressed-out women I know. (Their preferred tub-time perusing runs to the gossip glossies, like Vanity Fair and Entertainment Weekly.)
I read Real Simple on the fly, as I dashed by subway to get to my 3-year-old's nursery school before noon. My baby sitter had called at 11:40 a.m. to tell me she was stuck at the dentist and couldn't pick him up. I got as far as an article about a woman who dumps all her cares and moves to Nebraska. I never found out why, because when I resumed reading the story at 11:30 p.m. (once the children were in bed, the dog had been walked and I realized that my balm, David Letterman, was in reruns), I promptly fell asleep. Real Simple may have the right idea, just the wrong planet.
Selling simplicity, and the value-added life, is a booming business. A spate of new Web sites, books and magazines, from Real Simple and its Web site (www.realsimple.com) to O2Simplify.com, a Web site started by Oxygen Media, a multimedia network geared to women, have discovered a potent buying force with the promise of paring down. Last month, Simplicity, another magazine, reached the newsstands. It's the same subject matter -- home, body and soul -- aimed at a younger, Wallpaper crowd, with a slicker format and a stronger link to its own Web site, www.simplicityonline.com. All have articles on housecleaning, personal rituals and plain-but-pricey clothes that look great on fabulous bodies.
The whole Ready! Steady! Simplify! movement smacks of something entirely at odds with the unburdening that true simplification should bring. I call it the Competitive Stress Syndrome, whereby the afflicted measure their success in direct ratio to their equally desperate need to relax. For example, a working mother who gets six hours of sleep a night deserves one spa treatment a month; a nursing working mom who survives on four hours rates two spas and a new pair of shoes (no heels!).
Marian Salzman, a trend watcher at Young & Rubicam, noted that stress envy is on the rise, making the need for simple respites ever more important. The next stop, she said, is dropping out altogether.
Real Simple doesn't actually go that far. ''It isn't about denial,'' Ms. Wyland hastened to say. ''It's about personal satisfaction, not perfection.'' (That's code for ''not Martha Stewart Living.'') Martin S. Walker, the chairman of Walker Communications, a magazine consulting firm, thinks the goal is even more predictable. ''At best, Real Simple is another women's service magazine that appeals to all the guilt women have about what they are not doing at home, and then showing them how to do it quickly,'' he said.
REAL SIMPLE, which is the fourth magazine from the group that produced such habit-forming reads as People, In-Style and Teen People, spreads the widest net among the new gazettes. It was designed by Robert Valentine, a creative consultant who also developed the look of the first 14 volumes of Chic Simple, a predictive book series from 1993, as well as some early issues of Martha Stewart Living.
Real Simple is photographed in arty, languorous close-up and a mucky palette, and written with treacly reverence. Exclaiming over an updated version of that old hausfrau stand-by, the one-pot meal, the text gushes: ''All you need is a single bowl to serve it forth.'' It's a tone practically guaranteed to grate like nails on a chalkboard when, for instance, suggesting that a clean bathroom ''says you're in control of your life and your home.''
During a recent visit at her home, Ms. Wyland, 45, did her best to present herself as the would-be avatar of her magazine. She lives in a town house in Greenwich Village with her third husband, a cardiologist, and their two cats. The morning alarm goes off at 7:30, and by 8:30, she's at her desk in the Time & Life Building, eating breakfast. ''I'm off the bagel thing now,'' she said. ''I get oatmeal from the cafeteria.''
One of four sisters, Ms. Wyland grew up in Detroit dreaming of becoming a magazine editor. Her mother was a career woman, too, preparing dinner for the family every morning at 7 before heading off to the department store where she worked as a cashier. Ms. Wyland started out at The Detroit News as a copy messenger and then became the senior editor for the lifestyle section at Newsweek before graduating to the editorship of Martha Stewart Living. She said she gave up on the idea of having children. ''I just wasn't lucky enough,'' she said, with a wistful shrug.

Brewed this up 5 weeks ago and just kegged it last night. Sample I pulled while racking it was tasty :-)
Tried last night... Delicious! Nice cocoa taste, with a faint cayenne spice at the end
Thanks for this very cool recipe, I'm excited about this one. Will probably brew within a month. By the way, by scraping the vanilla bean do you mean literally to scrap it with a knife into the secondary or should I crush it in some way basically?
Just added this into my brew schedule. Hope to get the ingredients with my next order and brew it within the month. Thanks for the recipe!
this is one i am looking forward to trying. i have had hot stouts before... from Sherwood, Edmonton... it was amazing. cannot wait to put this one on, after my ESB i have in the primary. thanks!
New brewer here and Im really interested in this beer as it sounds very similar to one of my favourite beers Heartstopper by Paddock Woods Brewery in Saskatoon, Sk. I just have one question regarding the ingredients, what is milk sugar? and where might I find it?
Milk sugar is Lactose and you should be able to pick it up at your homebrew shop or any online retailer. It is a pretty common ingredient.
Brewed this in Aug and has been on tap for a few weeks now. So far everyone likes it! The heat/warmth hits you as an after taste. Very happy with this brew, great fall brew!
Tap 1: California Common Tap 2: Chocolate Milk Stout Tap 3: Coca Cayenne Porter Fermenting: Remember when SWMBO asks, it's ALWAYS "first of the day!"

tablet-computer - Computer Definition
A general-purpose computer contained in a touch-screen panel. Although earlier tablet computers required a stylus, modern tablets are operated by fingers, and a stylus is an option. iPad, Android and BlackBerry In 2010, Apple's iPad created a tablet revolution as dramatic as it did with the iPhone. However, Android tablets have given the iPad a run for its money with numerous models from many vendors. BlackBerry introduced the PlayBook to entice its loyal customers. See iPad, Android and BlackBerry Playbook. Windows Tablets In 2000, Microsoft introduced the Tablet PC, a Windows version specialized for tablets (see Tablet PC). However, Windows tablets were not widely used until Windows 8 changed the game in 2012. Any program that runs on a Windows PC can run on a Windows 8 tablet. See Windows 8 tablet and Surface tablet.

State Street Global Advisors Launches Pair Of SPDR® Tilt ETFs
State Street Global Advisors (SSgA)*, the asset management business of State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT), today announced that the SPDR S&P 1500 Value Tilt ETF (Symbol: VLU) and the SPDR S&P 1500 Momentum Tilt ETF (Symbol: MMTM) began trading on the NYSE Arca on October 25, 2012. The new SPDR ETFs offer investors an opportunity to access potential sources of outperformance with advanced indexing methodologies that reconfigure how index components are weighted.
The SPDR S&P 1500 Value Tilt ETF seeks to track the performance of the S&P 1500 Low Valuation Tilt Index. The Index applies an alternative weighting methodology to the S&P 1500 Index so that stocks with relatively low valuations are overweight relative to the S&P 1500 Index and stocks with relatively high valuations are underweight. In constructing the Index, Standard & Poor's, Inc. estimates the valuation of each stock in the S&P 1500 Index based on the ratio of its price to its level of earnings, cash flow, sales, book value, and dividends.
The weight of each stock in the Index is proportionate to its market capitalization and sub-portfolio allocation. The Index is rebalanced annually, and as of 9/30/12 it included approximately 1,472 securities. The SPDR S&P 1500 Value Tilt ETF's expense ratio is 0.35 percent.
"Providing advisors and investors with unique opportunities to take advantage of sources of outperformance relative to standard cap-weighted indexes and combining the advantages of value and momentum tilt investing with the benefits of exchange traded funds, our new SPDR Tilt ETFs further illustrate the growing popularity of advanced beta investment strategies," said James Ross, senior managing director and global head of SPDR Exchange Traded Funds and head of Intermediary Distribution at State Street Global Advisors. "We have strong expertise in the advanced beta space which we define as an objective, consistent, transparent process for capturing some investment exposure, while retaining the benefits of traditional indexing."

Code Lyoko Evolution is the sequel series of the French animated series, Code Lyoko (2003-2007). It first premiered on December 19, 2012 in France and February 28, 2013 in the USA. It consists of twenty-six episodes. Unlike the original series, it consists of live-action for scenes on Earth and still contains 3D computer animation for Lyoko. The soundtrack has been overhauled as well.
One year after the events of the original series, Jeremie Belpois, Odd Della Robbia, Ulrich Stern, Yumi Ishiyama and Aelita Schaeffer return to their daily lives and routines at Kadic Academy. However, they soon come to the realization that their old virtual archenemy, X.A.N.A., suddenly reappears and has been succcessfully reborn with even more strength and power than ever before. The six Lyoko Warriors resume their former double lives in order to protect humanity from X.A.N.A.'s evil schemes once again. Joined by William Dunbar, who has finally been accepted as the sixth Lyoko Warrior, and an unreliable girl-genius named Laura Gauthier, the seven heroes are bent on unraveling the reasons for such a return and to exterminate the malevolently evil sentient, autonomous artificial intelligence/multi-agent system that is threatening the world once again.
In addition to X.A.N.A., the gang eventually discover that they have another dangerous enemy, a mad scientist named Professor Tyron, who seems to be the one responsible for inadvertantly returning X.A.N.A. to life. He commands The Ninjas, a group of several virtual human avatars in green and black-striped costumes to counter the Lyoko Warriors. In Tyron's lab the group also discovers Aelita's long-lost mother, Anthea Hopper-Schaeffer, and seek to discover why she is with their new enemy and how to reunite mother and daughter.
In episode Ultimate Mission, it is revealed that Tyron has been married to Anthea for four years and is now Aelita's legal guardian and stepfather. His only purpose of marrying Anthea was to get his hands on her late husband's archives so that he could effectively create the Cortex region, which X.A.N.A. then secretly inhabited to carry put its plans for world domination and destruction once again.
On May 31, 2011, Moonscoop announced that a sequel series initally consisting of twenty-six episodes is in development. The filming of the live-action scenes took part during the summer of 2012. It was announced in June that filming would last 45 days during the summer, and that animation would take place between July 2nd and August 31st.
It uses live action for Earth-based scenes and remains in CGI for Lyoko scenes. Twenty-six episodes of the show will be aired on Canal J and France 3 in France. The season is estimated to have a budget of €5,600,000. Moonscoop has developed an extensive licensing and merchandising campaign around the IP including an upcoming live show to launch in Spain. On YouTube, several videos were released showcasing various elements of the show: "evolutions" of characters, the MegaPod, and others. A few teasers were also released, some of which are dubbed in English. For the United States, Code Lyoko Evolution was not picked up by Cartoon Network, but aired instead on the channel Kabillion on February 28, 2013.[1]
Differences to Code Lyoko
- A new character, Laura, was the unreliable and, often, mistrusted seventh member of Team Lyoko, but was eventually kicked out and her memory was successfully erased in Mutiny.
- Kiwi does not appear. His disappearance is explained in a later episode: he is staying with Odd's older sisters.
- William and Ulrich eventually became good friends and "buried the hatchet" at the end of the fifth episode (100), Rivalry.
- Laura creates a new love triangle between herself, Jeremie and Aelita.
- The opening of the series has been drastically changed, including images and musical theme.
- Herb and Nicholas are not present, although Nicholas is mentioned by Mrs. Hertz in an episode when revealing test grades to the class.
- Different 3D computer-animated software was used for the creation of Lyoko scenes. The Lyoko scenes are now more "cartoonish" compared to the original designs used in the original series.
- Costumes on Lyoko are altered.
- The five Lyoko Warriors use a new vehicle programmed by Jeremie, called MegaPod, in order to travel in the dangerous Cortex.
- Yumi has a new weapon in addition to her Tessen Fans: the Bo Staff.
- Odd, Ulrich and Yumi are freely able to deactivate towers until they lose their sources codes.
- The Ice Sector and the Forest Sector are lost due to the long inactivity of the Supercomputer
- Others seem to act like they never entered towers before, as seen when Odd tried to deactivate the tower for the first time.
- Sissi, at least so far, had only made two cameo appearances rather than messing around with Lyoko Warriors or trying to compete for Ulrich's attention, like prior to the live action series. This could be explained as being due to her now being on more platonic terms with them as of the last episode of the original series, thus removing her motivation to antagonize them.
- This series lacks spoken reference to the Subdigitals, however, they are not disbanded because we can see them on Aelita's social network profile page when she looks for her mother on her laptop in the episode, The Trap.
- Jean-Pierre Delmas seems to have a fresh shave than his normally seen beard in the animated series. He is seen as a more younger version than his original design.
- The character Samantha Knight has had her role in the series replaced by a new character, Samantha Suarez. They share the same role as Odd's love interest, but Suarez is merely an adaptation of Knight, not the same character.
- Odd's hair on Earth is now light brown, but still features his trademark purple streak at the front.
- Towers have had a drastic redesign. They are now rectangular rather than cylindrical. They cannot be entered when not activated, with the exclusion of Way Towers.
- Yumi is assumed to be a boarder by some fans as she can be seen going to the upper floor of the dormitory, where the girls reside, and she doesn't leave the school grounds with the rest of the day students as she normally has. However, in the sixteenth episode, Confusion she mentions getting ready "at home" therefore leaving it a possibility that she is still a day student. Her parents and younger brother Hiroki have also been mentioned in the series.
- The Sewers as well as the manhole to them have drastically changed.
- The bridge to the Factory is never shown; though very far in the background.
- After someone is devirtualized, it takes twelve hours in order to be virtualized on Lyoko again. In Code Lyoko, it used to take twenty-four hours.
- Aelita's mother Anthea was seen alive in this season, and the Lyoko Warriors strive to reunite mother and daughter after discovering her. She seems to work for Professor Tyron and believes that her daughter is dead.
- Aelita stays on Earth more often during missions now; due to the fact that she is no longer the only team member who can deactivate the towers or collect important data. It is to be stated, however, that she still attends missions on Lyoko.

We know who the Alpha is in that house.
Well it is lonely without everyone who is supposed to be in our bed, and are not …It's just what's right Dad…
Winslow doesn't know how well off he is. The advantage to having a comic strip dog is not having to worry about stepping in something as you make your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
If I stepped in something one time my dog would be an outside dog.
That's why I love having a crate for my dog. And he loves it too. We used to have 2 dogs and both would sleep with us. Not always fun.
Awwww ….
Marmie just wants to snuggle with you…
If I stepped in something one time my dog would be an outside dog.
I heard on a radio talk show featuring veternarians accepting calls from the public 1 question that I completly agreed with his answer, but it wasn't a dog question, it was,
"Why does my cat throw up every now and then?"
Answer: If you have a cat, it will throw up every now and then, it's normal.
Hopefully, it won't throw up in an inconvienent place! -
awwww. That's sweet!

The California Department of Education has contracted with IBM, through its Global Business Services division, to deliver its next-generation student achievement system. Dubbed the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS), the new system is expected to be deployed in the next three years to provide tracking and reporting on student data.
According to IBM, "CALPADS will collect, maintain, and report statewide information on pupil assessments, enrollment, teacher assignments, and other elements that will be used to track graduation and dropout rates, provide appropriate student services, and better measure student performance over time. CALPADS is also the cornerstone for compliance with the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 that measures increased accountability for student achievement. To fully comply with federal law, CALPADS was needed to track individual student enrollment history and achievement data longitudinally that the current California Basic Educational Data System was not designed to perform."
For the system, public school students in K-12 have been assigned non-personally identifiable Statewide Student Identifier numbers to track their progress throughout their primary and secondary educational careers.
"The selection of a world business leader such as IBM to develop our pupil tracking system is an important step toward building more accurate information to measure student performance over time," said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell in a statement released last week. "As we seek to close the achievement gap and educate all students to succeed in the global economy, we must have reliable data to drive decisions and target programs to help all students achieve academically."
IBM is involved in similar programs in Illinois and Ohio. Subcontractors on the $15 million California project include Microsoft, Aradyme, Edustructures, ESP Solutions Group, and Stanfield Systems. Development is expected to run through 2008/2009 and should be implemented by the 2009/2010 school year.

RESIDENTS have been evacuated from their houses after a 70-year-old motorist smashed into a gas mains before his car flipped onto its roof in Chorley Old Road.
The crash happened at about 11.30am leaving the driver trapped inside the car near the junction with Montserrat Road.
Firefighters managed to pull the man from the vehicle, and he was taken to hospital. He was said to be "conscious and responsive".
The silver Toyota damaged a gas main in the incident and residents living nearby have been evacuated from their homes.
Nearby resident Adrian Wilmot, aged 52, said: "I was working in my garage when I heard a loud bang.
"I ran out to see the car whizz past before hitting a lamp post and flipping onto its roof.
"I ran to the car and could see the man inside. He was unconscious at the time and I was concerned because the car was smoking."
Mr Wilmot said a female passerby stayed with the driver as he came back to consciousness, before he was checked by paramedics and taken to hospital.
He said firefighters then used gas detectors to determine that gas had leaked into the area and residents are now unable to go back into their houses while the issue is dealt with.

First song you played along with on drums?

Re: First song you played along with on drums?
A VERY interesting story behind this one.
My first "real" drum set (an OLD 4 piece Gretsch Blue Sparkle) came with a 45 RPM vinyl that was recorded with the ACTUAL drum kit I was purchasing. The seller's son was the drummer on the record and gave up the drums and went off to college leaving the set behind at his parent's house.
I was fascinated with this fact and promptly sat down at the kit and practiced the song over and over until I learned it note for note....with the original kit.
Surprisingly, just for kicks, I looked it up on Youtube (not expecting anything) only to find THIS!!!
I swear, the internet has EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a soundYou tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and sayThat it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late. -- Apologize, OneRepublic
Barack Obama is a petty little man whose grandiose sense of self importance has always far outstripped his abilities and accomplishments. Putting a man such as that in the most important job on the planet is like taking a five year old off an airplane ride at a carnival and putting him at the control of a jet airplane in mid-flight.
Obama, who was so far over his head that he couldn't see the surface from day one, took over the country at a crucial time and then boldly strode forth and made the situation dramatically worse. His whole presidency, from start to finish, has been the living embodiment of that famous Talleyrand quote:
They have learned nothing and forgotten nothing.
The rest of America, however, has learned quite a bit about Obama, which is why his approval rating has fallen like a stockbroker on Black Friday. At this point, not only should Barack Obama change course, he should apologize for what he's done wrong:
1) For lying to the American people: Calling a politician a liar is a bit like accusing a fish of being fond of water, but even amongst politicians, Barack Obama is a particularly hamfisted and prolific liar. Obama's strategy is simple: He promises everything to everybody and then points the finger elsewhere when people are inevitably disappointed. This has led to some jaw dropping whoppers than would even make Bill Clinton say, "Wow, that guy is a shameless liar."

Hello there, i'm playing akali for a few weeks now and during game i noticed that my spellvamp and my lifesteal are a huge boost in survivability and it got me curioused to see how much do i heal. So i finished a game and to my surprise, my heal sucks in statistics... i'm trying to find out why my heal is so weak considering i have since lvl 1 spellvamp due to physycal attack runes. The other day i have dealt more than 85.000 damage and got healed 945hp... this is kinda odd considering i have lifesteal and more than 50% spellvamp. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/820/lokuraakali1.jpg/ Im not aware of the equations for the damage = heal, so i f anyone could explain why this heal, i appreciate. Ty
The last Petunia
I'm not sure if I'm correct, but I think 'Healing done' only counts for spells that are supposed to heal you and Nidalee's E was the only reason you had any healing done in that game and Warwick's healing done was high because of his Q. Since you heal off the spellvamp and not the actual ability, it doesn't actually count towards the healing done.
I see.. that actually makes sence. TY One last doubt... in that case shouldn't total heal appear in statistics as Damage appears too? Is there any purpose not to be revealed those numbers? Its kinda odd that Riot decided (or forgot) not to show how much does a champion heals itself, cause in the end, all information counts, right?

The actress, who plays Ana Lucia on the hit show, chose a jail sentence instead of 240 hours community service after being convicted of drunk-driving last month. She spent 65 hours behind bars.
Rodriguez says, "It was so cool. I love people, and it was a primal crew. The only thing that keeps them going is fighting for salt and making dice out of soap.
"It was an amazing experience. I wouldn't take it back for anything.
"I have a really good belief in destiny. It's, like, if I'm gonna be killed in there, I'm gonna be killed in there. But people were cool.
"I represent the people, you know what I mean? If somebody picks on me, they'll get what's coming. I didn't have to handle myself is what I'm saying. I had love in there. People got where I'm coming from."
And Rodriguez spent her time behind bars creatively.
She adds, "Drawing pictures for everybody on their shirts. Writing poetry. And singing show tunes with the girls... I'm not surprised they kicked me out early."

Re: SMP SeatsSteve Hogg has a good overview of the premium models
I have a SMP strike & a hybrid if you are looking at the cheap end. Found bike24 & cell bikes to have good prices Cell have a test program - you pay full price but can swap them around to find what you like - not as good if you have to pay postage . . . . . . .
Re: SMP SeatsThanks Bruce!

Re: SMP SeatsWhich ones are you looking at foo, I have the selle smp hybred gel and selle italia h2 gel flow, I have quite thick thighs and the selle smp took a while to get used to, I think it may be more suited to a skinny person or someone with a wide pelvis. It holds you in the one position its not good if you like moving around the saddle a lot on the longer rides, that's the way they have designed it.
I can get on the nose of the seat a little but not like I can on others seats and move around on the back when I want to sprint. On longer rides it really starts dig into my thighs and not being able to move around a lot is a pain but the selle italia I haven't had a problem with. A few mates have tried mine and you are either going to love them or hate them.
Re: SMP SeatsWell I'm not looking at the expensive ones but just the mid to lower range ones. I just want one that I don't have to worry about about numb nuts and the old fella!

I have SMP saddles on 4 bikes - in particular the less expensive Strike model on my MTB, good for absorbing gravel road potholes, bumps and corrugations etc but way too much padding for pure black top riding for my undercarriage. For what it worth I use SMP Dynamic saddles on my roadies. There are differing saddle widths, slight profile/shape differences and variable padding levels across the SMP range. 3rd class cycling is always better than 1st class walking
Re: SMP SeatsDitto as above. Everyone is different and different seats for different purpose. I have the Evolution on the roadie, Hybrid on the MTB and TRK on the commuter.
One thing it did cure was the numb nuts but that was replaced by frozen nuts with the opening in winter. Minor inconvenience really.
Re: SMP SeatsIf you mean the SMP range, well the names (Dynamic, Glider, Drakon etc...) are meaningless and stupid. I tried a few and they don't vary that much. In the end I settled for the cheaper (and larger) Selle SMP Gel.
Re: SMP Seatsthere are differences in width, length and the drop of the nose of the saddle. I could never find a saddle that suited (I had 5 in the drawer). a bike shop in perth has a saddle fit for SMPs. They guaranteed that if you were not happy with the fit you could swap it over.
I brought my bike in. You sit on some padded thing and they get a measurement. For me there were 4 possible saddles that they said could work. We tried them all on my bike on a wind trainer which took about an hour. A couple of them were about 2mm difference in width. A lot of it came down to subtle difference in the shape. I found one I liked and have never looked back. I have 3 of the lite 209s now and have sold off all my old saddles. It is surprising how many other people I speak to on various group rides with a SMP and everyone raves about them too. They are expensive, but definitely worth it to me.
Re: SMP SeatsLove the seats, the one seat that I have found where you can get up the pegs, then sit down again and be comfortable with out having to wiggle around looking for the right spot.
And the bonus is it matches the bike.
Re: SMP SeatsI realise everyone is different in their build but I am curious to what the different seat names are for = type of riding, padding but don't care about the weight of them.
I have an offer to trial a Pro from a good member here so if I can find the time, I will take up that offer. Foo I don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.

Re: SMP SeatsI have a SMP Stratos on my road bike which is perfect for my needs, however I started with a larger SMP Lite 209 and found it did not suit me at all. The sizing charts on the SMP site are useful. I also have a ISM Breakaway on my other roady and it is amazing I never get tired of this saddle and would buy another in an instant it was recommended by ISM after I emailed them in the US with my size, weight and bike use, this model range gives the largest range of positioning. No numb bits here .
Re: SMP SeatsIf you're in Sydney, but from Steve. He'll fit you and guarantees everything he sells, so if it doesn't feel right, he'll swap for one that does. I'm on a Composit. Didn't like em for MTB, am on a Ergon for that (excellent, btw)
Re: SMP SeatsDownlad the PDF from their website, it gives a good overview of which models have the same shell and the varying levels of padding on them. But make sure you test ride a few to find the one for you.
Re: SMP SeatsI've been using the Strike Extra for 2 or 3 years now, maybe longer, and it's head and shoulders above any other saddle i've ever tried. I did once try a Lite 209 (i think) test saddle from a LBS which was a similar shape but slightly less padding, didn't like it as much. I don't know what the deal is with the Strike Extra, i've never seen it in any official SMP catalogues or on their website, maybe they just don't want to acknowledge that the shape is available for so much less than things like the Lite/Stratos/etc.
I'd offer to loan you my spare but i crashed too many times and had to bin it . I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet, the critical thing with these is getting them in the right spot, you really need to take the time to get the angle and position right for it to work. For me it's easy though, a fair way forward and the rails a little bit above level. When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: SMP SeatsJust to add a little, Selle, makers of the SMP also make a range of saddles that can be distinguished from the SMP by being flatter, or even flat in side profile when compared to the SMP which has the curved profile.

Re: SMP SeatsI think selle smp and selle italia are different companies.
There is also a selle san marco and selle royal. Selle just means saddles in italian.
Re: SMP SeatsYep, Selle Italia and Selle SMP are different brands. AFAIK curvy saddles are all SMP does.

Re: SMP SeatsSelle is Italian for saddle.
Re: SMP Seatsi have the selle smp lite 209 on all 3 of my road bikes, once i found a saddle that works for my i wouldnt use anything else.
# of my friends use these saddles as well, it seems to be the go to one, sweet spot between price and comfort. I am a large framed gent 5'10" 92kg and wide sit bones if that helps Boardman CX pro now the commuter, Salsa Casseroll, Trek Domane
Re: SMP SeatsI would suggest quite strongly you get a trial and work through some options. Definitely try different paddings for the width, and try a different width once you have worked out a padding preference. The thin ones like Forma or Composit are brutal but I found it better than the Dynamic with more padding. The shape changes. But the Dynamic was quite hard core at first as well coming from the stock Bontrager. So a trial program is a great idea. The other thing is that there are few cheap options so you might as well go LBS.
I would like to try the full carbon options to feel the compliance difference but I need both kidneys for a while.
Re: SMP Seats
Absolutely do this. I'm tall & wide and couldn't get comfy on even their widest model. It was like sitting on golf balls. I used it for 2 hours per day for several weeks before giving up on it.
