JP Jointed Uxeter Kimberwicke
English Bridle AccFor Sale on eBay Manufacturer: Korsteel
Model: JP Jointed Uxeter Kimberwicke
Category: English Bridle Acc
Purchase: I purchased this bit new online from Jeffers Equine. I paid about $33 for it. I had recently agreed to train a friend's 9 years old mare that had previously only been ridden a few weekends monthly for pleasure. I began in a french link eggbut but she proved to be stubborn and hot and needed something stronger to get the point across.
Likes: The bit was effective in curbing her poor behavior under saddle. I like the flexibility of having two choices for leverage. this gave me the opportunity to slowly wean her off the pressure.
Dislikes: This is an extremely harsh bit. You will NEVER get your horse truly on the bit with this monster. It should only be used temporarily to correct excessive disregard for the bit. When your horse RESPONDS well to this bit, you should return to a simple snaffle and if that does not work, a pelham.
Quality: Made of quality stainless steel. It has a single joint and the bars are curved to alleviate bar pressure. It has 2 slots to vary the leverage of the bit (the top has the least leverage, the bottom has the most). A curb chain with hooks is included and can be handy. If your horse is sensitive to it, it may be removed with pliers or you can buy a chain guard.
Summary: Quality bit that is effective in experienced hands. This is not a long-term solution for bad behavior. In the hands of a beginner, this bit will cause more problems than it will solve. Before you use this bit to reprimand a speedy horse, be sure he is truly running through the bridle and is not just nervous. If you're not sure if this bit is appropriate, try something else first and ALWAYS consult a trainer.

Josh Homme Talks With Marc Maron About the Time He Briefly Died
Queens of the Stone Age ruler tells 'WTF' he "kind of choked to death" during surgery
Queens of the Stone Age frontdude Josh Homme sat down with SPIN recently for an in-depth interview that covered his entire career and briefly touched upon a serious health scare he suffered in late 2010. The ...Like Clockwork leader wouldn't go into specifics, but he confirmed that he was bedridden for several months, struggling to recover. Now, Homme has opened up about that life-threatening ordeal to comedian and podcast overlord Marc Maron, explaining — for the first time publicly, he says — what exactly occurred.
"I think I just beat myself until I got really sick and needed surgery because it was physically manifesting itself," the 40-year-old Homme says in the latest episode of Maron's twice-weekly WTF podcast. Maintaining a strenuous work-schedule of touring and writing and producing records eventually contributed to Homme developing a MRSA, which he describes as "an antibiotic-resistant staph."
"And I couldn't shake it because my immune system was so destroyed," Homme says in the 90-minute interview. "People die of that all the time. In fact, down the hall, someone died of it when I was in the hospital and I was like, 'Oh no, what have I done?'"
The Queens king then reveals that he did actually die while in surgery. "I kind of choked to death," he says, recalling that doctors lost him briefly while they were trying to put an oxygen tube down his throat. "There was no 'tunnel,'" he says, before joking, "Or there was traffic at the tunnel."
Thankfully, Homme survived and immediately began his months-long recovery, but the California native says that when he came to after surgery, he felt like he had lost something. "When I woke up, I knew something was wrong," he says. "I've always heard music in my head since I was a little kid and I've just played at that, and when I woke up this time, I heard nothing for a couple of years... I'd never been knocked down that hard."
Of course, Homme got back to making music and gifted us with this year's masterful ...Like Clockwork, as well as a recent live EP recorded at the iTunes Festival in London. And as for the rest of the WTF Q&A, Homme and Maron's chat touches on a broad range of topics, including Homme's tenure with Kyuss; his rigorous work ethic ("If you're having writer's block, keep writing," he explains); his appreciation of comedy legend George Carlin and punk icon Iggy Pop; the broken beauty of the American desert (all epic mullets and tweaker teeth, as he puts it); and his love of filling songs with hooks ("I need it to be like a fucking bait shop, just hooks everywhere").
Maron says it best at the start of the podcast: "Fucking dude is solid."
Stream the whole episode on the WTF website, grab it through iTunes, or download it directly. It opens with an intro from Maron, as always, but Homme comes in at around the 13:00 mark. Find Queens of the Stone Age's upcoming, Nine Inch Nails-assisted tour dates below.

Eragon is the first novel in the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini, who began writing at the age of 15. After writing the first draft for a year, he spent a second year rewriting it and fleshing out the story and characters. Paolini's parents saw the final manuscript and decided to self-publish Eragon. Paolini spent a year traveling around the United States promoting the novel. By chance, the book was discovered by Carl Hiaasen, who got it re-published by Alfred A. Knopf. The re-published version was released on August 26, 2003.
The book tells the story of a young farm boy named Eragon, who finds a mysterious stone in the mountains. A dragon he later names Saphira hatches from the stone, which was really an egg. When the evil King Galbatorix finds out about Eragon and his dragon, he sends his servants, the Ra'zac, after them in an effort to capture them. Eragon and Saphira are forced to flee from their hometown, and decide to search for the Varden, a group of rebels who want to see the downfall of Galbatorix.
Critiques of Eragon often pointed out the similarities to other works such as Earthsea and Dragonlance. Reviews also called the book a notable achievement for such a young author as Paolini. Eragon was the third-best-selling children's hardback book of 2003, and the second-best-selling paperback of 2005. It placed on the New York Times Children's Books Best Seller list for 121 weeks. Eragon was adapted into a feature film of the same name that was released on December 15, 2006.
Origins and publication[edit]
Christopher Paolini started reading fantasy books when he was ten years old. At the age of fourteen, as a hobby, Paolini started writing the first novel in a series of four books, but he could not get beyond a few pages because he had "no idea" where he was going. He began reading everything he could about the "art of writing", and then plotted the whole Inheritance Cycle book series. After a month of planning out the series, he started writing the draft of Eragon by hand. It was finished a year later, and Paolini began writing the "real" version of the book.[1] After another year of editing, Paolini's parents saw the final manuscript. They immediately saw its potential and decided to publish the book through their small, home-based publishing company, Paolini International.[2] Paolini created the cover art for this edition of Eragon, which featured Saphira's eye on the cover. He also drew the maps inside the book.[3]
Paolini and his family toured across the United States to promote the book. Over 135 talks were given at bookshops, libraries, and schools, many with Paolini dressed up in a medieval costume; but the book did not receive much attention. Paolini said he "would stand behind a table in my costume talking all day without a break – and would sell maybe forty books in eight hours if I did really well. [...] It was a very stressful experience. I couldn't have gone on for very much longer."[1] In the summer of 2002, American novelist Carl Hiaasen was on vacation in one of the cities that Paolini gave a talk in. While there, his stepson bought a copy of Eragon that he "immediately loved".[1] He showed it to his stepfather, who brought the book to the attention of the publishing house Alfred A. Knopf. Michelle Frey, executive editor at Knopf, contacted Paolini and his family to ask if they were interested in having Knopf publish Eragon. The answer was yes, and after another round of editing, Knopf published Eragon in August 2003. It also led to a new cover, drawn by John Jude Palencar.[4]
Inspiration and influences[edit]
Paolini cites old myths, folk tales, medieval stories, the epic poem Beowulf, and authors J. R. R. Tolkien and Eric Rücker Eddison as his biggest influences in writing. Other literary influences include David Eddings, Andre Norton, Brian Jacques, Anne McCaffrey, Raymond E. Feist, Mervyn Peake, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Frank Herbert.[5] Paolini has also received inspiration from the two authors Philip Pullman and Garth Nix. In Eragon, Paolini "deliberately" included the "archetypal ingredients" of a fantasy book – a quest, a journey of experience, revenge, romance, betrayal, and a "special" sword.[1]
The ancient language used by the elves in Eragon is based "almost entirely" on Old Norse, German, Old English, and Russian myth.[6] Paolini commented that "[I] did a god-awful amount of research into the subject when I was composing it. I found that it gave the world a much richer feel, a much older feel, using these words that had been around for centuries and centuries. I had a lot of fun with that."[7] Picking the right name for the characters and places was a process that could take "days, weeks, or even years". Paolini said that "if I have difficulty choosing the correct moniker, I use a placeholder name until a replacement suggests itself."[2] He added that he was "really lucky" with the name Eragon, "because it's just dragon with one letter changed." Also, Paolini commented that he thought of the name "Eragon" as the two parts of it: "era" and "gone" as if the name itself changes the era in which the character lives. He thought the name fit the book perfectly, but some of the other names caused him "real headaches".[7]
The landscape in Eragon is based on the "wild territory" of Paolini's home state, Montana.[1] He said in an interview that "I go hiking a lot, and oftentimes when I'm in the forest or in the mountains, sitting down and seeing some of those little details makes the difference between having an okay description and having a unique description."[7] Paolini also said that Paradise Valley, Montana is "one of the main sources" of his inspiration for the landscape in the book. Eragon takes place in the fictional continent Alagaësia. Paolini "roughed out" the main history of the land before he wrote the book, but he did not draw a map of it until it became important to see where Eragon was traveling. He then started to get history and plot ideas from seeing the landscape depicted.[7]
Paolini chose to have Eragon mature throughout the book because "for one thing, it's one of the archetypal fantasy elements". He thought Eragon's growth and maturation throughout the book "sort of mirrored my own growing abilities as a writer and as a person, too. So it was a very personal choice for that book."[7] Eragon's dragon, Saphira, was imagined as "the perfect friend" by Paolini.[1] He decided to go in a more "human direction" with her because she is raised away from her own species, in "close mental contact" with a human. "I considered making the dragon more dragon-like, if you will, in its own society, but I haven't had a chance to explore that. I went with a more human element with Saphira while still trying to get a bit of the magic, the alien, of her race."[7] Paolini made Saphira the "best friend anyone could have: loyal, funny, brave, intelligent, and noble. She transcended that, however, and became her own person, fiercely independent and proud."[2] Saphira's blue tinted vision was in turn inspired by Paolini's own color-blindness.[8]
Paolini added in archetypal elements of a fantasy novel like a quest, a journey of experience, revenge, romance, betrayal, and a 'special' sword.[1] The book is described as a fantasy with Booklist writing "Paolini knows the genre well—his lush tale is full of recognizable fantasy elements and conventions".[9] The book has been compared to other books of the fantasy genre such as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Reviews have also felt that the plot genre is too similar to those other fantasy novels.[10] The book was called a "high fantasy" by Kirkus Review.[9]
Plot summary[edit]
The book starts off with a prologue describing an encounter in a forest between a Shade (a sorcerer possessed by evil spirits) and three elves, two male and one female. The Shade, named Durza, with the help of twelve sentient horned humanoids called Urgals, kill the two male elves and capture the female elf, Arya. Before she is captured, Arya magically transports a blue stone she was carrying, which is later revealed to be a dragon egg, to a mountain range considered dangerous and cursed called the Spine.
Eragon is a fifteen-year-old boy who lives with his uncle Garrow and cousin Roran on a farm near the village of Carvahall. While hunting in the Spine, Eragon is surprised to see the blue dragon egg, which he believes to be a stone, appear in front of him. A few months later, Eragon witnesses a baby dragon hatch from the egg. Eragon names the Dragon Saphira. He raises the dragon in secret until two of King Galbatorix's servants, the Ra'zac, come to Carvahall looking for the egg. Eragon and Saphira manage to escape by hiding in the Spine, but Garrow is fatally wounded and the house and farm are burned down by the Ra'zac. Once Garrow dies, Eragon is left with no reason to stay in Carvahall, so he goes after the Ra'zac with his newly hatched dragon, seeking vengeance for the destruction of his home and his uncle's death. He is accompanied by Brom, an elderly storyteller, who provides Eragon with the sword Zar'roc and insists on helping him and Saphira.
Eragon becomes a Dragon Rider through his bond with Saphira. Eragon is the only known Rider in Alagaësia other than King Galbatorix, who, with the help of the now-dead Forsworn, a group of thirteen dragon riders loyal to Galbatorix, killed every other Rider a hundred years ago. On the journey, Brom teaches Eragon sword fighting, magic, the ancient elvish language, and the ways of the Dragon Riders. Their travels bring them to the city of Teirm, where they meet with Brom's friend Jeod. Eragon's fortune is told by the witch Angela, and her companion, the werecat Solembum, gives Eragon some mysterious advice. With Jeod's help, they are able to track the Ra'zac to the southern city of Dras-Leona. Although they manage to infiltrate the city, Eragon encounters the Ra'zac in a cathedral and he and Brom are forced to flee. Later that night, their camp is ambushed by the Ra'zac. A stranger named Murtagh rescues them, but Brom is gravely injured. Saphira watches over Brom as the night progresses, yet when morning comes they realize there is nothing they can do to save him. Brom gives Eragon his blessing, reveals that he was also once a dragon rider and dies.
Murtagh becomes Eragon's new companion and they travel to the city Gil'ead to find information on how to find the Varden, a group of rebels who want to see the downfall of Galbatorix. While stopping near Gil'ead, Eragon is captured and imprisoned in the same jail that holds a woman he has been having dreams about. As she is being dragged past she is revealed as an elf when her pointed ears are uncovered. Murtagh and Saphira stage a rescue, and Eragon escapes with the unconscious elf. During the escape, Eragon and Murtagh battle with Durza. Murtagh shoots Durza between the eyes with an arrow, and the Shade disappears in a cloud of mist.
After escaping, Eragon contacts the unconscious elf telepathically, and discovers that her name is Arya. She tells them that she was poisoned while in captivity and a potion found only with the Varden, the elves, and the King himself can cure her. Arya is able to give directions to the exact location of the Varden: a city called Tronjheim, which sits in the hollow mountain Farthen Dûr. She also adds that they have only four days to reach the Varden or she will die. The group go in search of the Varden, both to save Arya's life and to escape Galbatorix's wrath. When they are traveling to the Varden the group notices a huge unit of Urgals following them. The Urgals are revealed to be a larger species of Urgal known as Kull. On the way, Murtagh reveals that he is Morzan's son, who was the first and last of the Forsworn.
The Kull reach Eragon right outside the Varden's entrance, but are driven off with the help of the Varden, who escort Eragon, Saphira, Murtagh, and Arya to Farthen Dûr. When they arrive in Farthen Dûr, Eragon is led to the leader of the Varden, Ajihad. Ajihad imprisons Murtagh after he refuses to allow his mind to be read to determine if he is a friend or a foe to the Varden. Eragon is told by Ajihad that Durza was not destroyed by Murtagh's well placed arrow, because the only way to kill a Shade is with a stab to the heart. Orik, nephew of the dwarf King Hrothgar, is appointed as Eragon and Saphira's guide. Orik shows them a place to stay and introduces them to Hrothgar. Eragon also meets Ajihad's daughter, Nasuada, and Ajihad's right hand man, Jörmundur. He also runs into Angela and Solembum, who have arrived in Tronjheim, and visits Murtagh in his prison. He is tested by two magicians, The Twins, as well as Arya.
Eragon is at last able to rest, but a new invasion is imminent. As the battle begins, the Varden and the dwarves are pitted against an enormous army of Urgals, deployed by Durza and Galbatorix. During the battle, Eragon faces Durza again. Durza, having gravely wounded Eragon's back, is about to capture him but is distracted by Saphira and Arya, who break a large star sapphire called Isidar Mithrim on the chamber's ceiling. Durza's attention is diverted long enough for Eragon to stab him in the heart with Zar'roc. After Durza's death, the Urgals are released from a spell which had been placed on them and immediately begin fighting among themselves. The Varden take advantage of this opportunity to make a counter-attack, forcing the Urgals to retreat. While Eragon is unconscious, someone called 'The Cripple Who Is Whole' contacts him telepathically and tells Eragon to come to him for training in the forest of the elves, Du Weldenvarden.
Eragon received generally mixed reviews and was criticized for its derivative nature. Liz Rosenberg of The New York Times Book Review criticized Eragon for having "clichéd descriptions", "B-movie dialogue", "awkward and gangly" prose." However, she concluded the review by noting that "for all its flaws, it is an authentic work of great talent".[11] School Library Journal wrote that in Eragon "sometimes the magic solutions are just too convenient for getting out of difficult situations".[12] Common Sense Media called Eragon's dialogue "long-winded" and "clichéd", with a plot "straight out of Star Wars by way of The Lord of the Rings, with bits of other great fantasies thrown in here and there." The website did concede that the book is a notable achievement for such a young author, and that it would be "appreciated" by younger fans.[10]
Favorable reviews of Eragon often focused on the book's characters and plot. IGN's Matt Casamassina called the book "entertaining", and added that "Paolini demonstrates that he understands how to hold the reader's eyes and this is what ultimately separates Eragon from countless other me-too fantasy novels."[13] Chris Lawrence of About.com thought the book had all the "traditional ingredients" that make a fantasy novel "enjoyable". The book was a "fun read" for him because it is "quick and exciting" and "packed" with action and magic. Lawrence concluded his review by giving the book a rating of 3.8/5, commenting that "the characters are interesting, the plot is engrossing, and you know the good guy will win in the end."[14]
Eragon was the third best-selling children's hardback book of 2003,[15] and the second best-selling children's paperback of 2005.[16] It placed on the New York Times Children's Books Best Seller list for 121 weeks.[17] In 2006, the novel was awarded with a Nene Award by the children of Hawaii.[18] It won the Rebecca Caudill Young Reader's Book Award[19] and the Young Reader's Choice Award the same year.[20]
Film adaptation[edit]
A film adaptation of Eragon was released in the United States on December 15, 2006. Plans to create the film were first announced in February 2004, when 20th Century Fox purchased the rights to Eragon. The film was directed by first-timer Stefen Fangmeier, and written by Peter Buchman.[21] Edward Speleers was selected for the role of Eragon.[22] Over the following months, Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, Chris Egan and Djimon Hounsou were all confirmed as joining the cast.[23] Principal photography for the film took place in Hungary and Slovakia.[24]
The film received mostly negative reviews, garnering a 16% approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes;[25] the tenth worst of 2006.[26] The Seattle Times described it as "technically accomplished, but fairly lifeless and at times a bit silly".[27] The Hollywood Reporter said the world of Eragon was "without much texture or depth".[28] The story was labelled "derivative" by The Washington Post,[29] and "generic" by the Las Vegas Weekly.[30] Newsday stressed this point further, asserting that only "nine-year-olds with no knowledge whatsoever of any of the six Star Wars movies" would find the film original.[31] The acting was called "lame" by the Washington Post,[29] as well as "stilted" and "lifeless" by the Orlando Weekly.[32] The dialogue was also criticized: MSNBC labelled it "silly";[33] the Las Vegas Weekly called it "wooden".[30] Positive reviews described the film as "fun"[34] and "the stuff boys' fantasies are made of".[35] The CGI work was called "imaginative" and Saphira was called a "magnificent creation".[36] Paolini stated he enjoyed the film, particularly praising the performances of Jeremy Irons and Ed Speleers.[37]
Eragon grossed approximately $75 million in the United States and $173.9 million elsewhere, totaling $249 million worldwide.[38] Eragon is the thirteenth highest grossing fantasy-live action film within the United States; twenty-first when adjusted for inflation.[39] It is the second highest grossing film with a dragon at its focal point,[40] and the sixth highest grossing film of the sword and sorcery subgenre.[41] Eragon was in release for seventeen weeks in the United States, opening on December 15, 2006 and closing on April 9, 2007.[42] It opened in 3,020 theaters, earning $8.7 million on opening day and $23.2 million across opening weekend, ranking second behind The Pursuit of Happyness.[43] Eragon's $75 million total United States gross was the thirty-first highest for 2006.[44] The film earned $150 million in its opening weekend across 76 overseas markets, making it the #1 film worldwide.[45] The film's $249 million total worldwide gross was the sixteenth highest for 2006.[46]

Umbro Youth Soccer Shin Socks
Good idea and price but average quality
I bought these for my daughters.
The product is very convenient since you don't have to buy seperate socks and shin guards. However it's a bit cumbersome to remove the shin guards everytime you remove the socks.
The socks have some loose threads with frequent removal of shin guards.
However the colors are attractive and the price is good.

cute little sockies
I really liked the hot pink color choice they came in. They were super adorable on my little soccer girl. My only complaint is they seemed a bit worn after only one wash.
September 30, 2014
This product is perfect.
Loved the shin socks. A lot better than regular shin guards.
September 30, 2014
Good for price
Bought these socks for five year old. Fit fine and met needs.
September 23, 2014
Great socks
I was afraid that my daughter will not like wearing shin guards since it was her first year of playing soccer. But she loved wearing these socks. They seem comfortable and easy to put on her legs/feet.
September 16, 2014
We ordered these socks for my 4 yo daughter and did not notice that the insert for the shin guards were sewn in backward. Very disappointing as I had thrown away packaging & receipt. Will stick with Adidas moving forward.
September 8, 2014

These are the best shin guards my kids have had. Get socks and shin guards for a great price. Socks have extra padding by ankles
September 3, 2014
Highly recommend for beginners
Great for beginners and they are super cute to boot! XS was perfidy fit for my 5 year old.
September 2, 2014
want more wild socks like these!
This was a good deal with the shin guards in the socks. More variety of wild socks like this would be nice or deals on multiple purchases!
September 2, 2014
Great color but not the best fit
The colors are vibrant and my daughter loves them but I feel the stock portion around the toes to be big and not fit well. Overall nice quality socks!

Eventually it will need to be made into a more extensible and manageable format, anyway. I might as well start on this while it's small. Plus, this way I have more time to putter around with it since there is a readable book already in place.

Have you ever wished a manufacturer would make a particular configuration for you? I love the idea of a 9mm 1911 in a compact (3 - 4" barrel) configuration. They're out there but most are either expensive, think Springfield EMP at $1,100+ or they're a bit odd looking, think STI. Of course it all boils down to personal taste etc.
I've had Springfield and COLT 1911's; long story short they're all gone and what I have now is a RIA mid-size and a RIA compact, both in .45 ACP. It's a long story but I love my RIA's. I had aftermarket sights installed on them and I installed a 25 LPI checkered "ROUND" butt MSH on each along with matching slim checkered grips. For some reason I love them, they're a matching set but I always wished RIA made a 9mm compact. They do make a full size 9mm but I wished they'd make a 9mm compact.
Well the gun gods answered my prayers and finally the have it!
1911 9MM Rock Island Tactical Compact with Matte Black Finish #AC-RI1911-9MMTACTCOM
I know many will turn up their noses at the RIA's but frankly I think they're one of the best overall handgun values out there. They're a reliable workhorse type of gun that you don't mind getting a scratch on. Mine are accurate, reliable and I like the rugged good looks.
Now I can complete my set with a 9mm compact. Of course anyone who's ever had a RIA knows you have to replace the grips and the new rolled emblem on the slide isn't as good as the old one but for $449 a reliable compact 9mm 1911 is, well, a simple pleasure in life.
Haven't bought mine...yet, but I will shortly. Add a couple of Wilson black mags and I might just switch from my Kahr K9 to the RIA compact 9 for carry. Call me a hypocrate and you'd be right; I still think a DAO with no controls is the very best for civilian CCW but at least I'm honest about my hypocrasy
Anyway, if you've always wanted a reliable but inexpensive compact 1911 in 9mm then this may be it.
Enjoy the weekend folks
God Bless

"I love butterflies since I was in highschool and I was thrilled that I saw this design in Wedding Paper Divas. The final design was so much bertter after the design review team did their edits. Paper quality & printing was excellent. All the colors were vivid and the texts were very clear. All of our invitees thought our invitation was so beautiful and unique. I added a butterfly sticker and a bow to tie it with the program in the same suit. This is just a dream come true wedding invitation. <3"
"Such a beautiful invitation! I love the purple and white on black--it makes it so elegant. We went with the envelopements and love the way they turned out. One thing to remember is to put the tape on the back of the invitation itself, not on the envelopment, as this is the only way the invitation will stay in place."
"I absolutely love my invitations. I was able to customize them easily and add specific instructions that were carried out precisely. The quality is superb and the design is so crisp. I only had 3 people looked at them so far and everyone bought they were gorgeous."
"The paper is fantastic- very nice and thick, not cheap feeling at all. The leaves look hand painted. The whole design is really really nice- it's even more beautiful in person. I was more than impressed. I received my invitations faster than expected - printing and shipping was FAST. Much faster than the time Wedding Paper Divas had estimated- which I appreciated. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this invitation along with this wonderful, helpful company."
"Samples came printed off center. I was easily able to get on live chat and was assured personal order would be perfect, and it was. I was also offered suggestions on live chat that saved us money. Live chat was efficient and helpful. Design variety was abundant. Pricing was fair. Customer service was excellent. Approval and design change process was excellent. Invitations arrived well before shipping commitment date!"

Good nail varnish.
It needs 2 coats as per usual for nail polish for opaque coverage. This will come out as fairly bright pink but not 'in your face' bright. Slight purple undertone.
This is my first essie polish. I find it expensive. It's no better than other cheaper branded ones. I think the bottle lid (white) looks quite cheap. If you take out the brush and wipe it on the side of the bottle it can actually paint 3 (fairly short) nails. Sometimes you can get paint dripping down the brush.
It is a thin formula but this is good. No gloopiness. It's not too thin so that it runs.
The brush is about average as polishes go. Not especially wide or overly wide. If you make a mistake when painting (as in it being a bit uneven) it's actually forgivable due to the thin formula.
1 coat would be nice if you want something sheer but your nails looking a bit nicer (I know some lighter pinks/nudes can need a few coats).
The best thing about this polish is it is SOOOO shiny. I don't remember wearing a polish that looks so shiny. It looks like it has a quality clear top coat on.
It's a strong smelling/stinky polish!
I would recommend this and essie seems to have quite a wide range of colours.
However, I probably wouldn't buy it again as it is quite expensive and the bottle has a substantial amount in (more than usual, although it does not look especially big).

This is one of my all time favourites! Love that the colour is a little crazy yet so flattering. It's pretty easy to apply as well, doesn't go gloopy half way through the application, and if done carefully it looks perfect after just one coat. Wouldn't usually repurchase a nail polish but when this baby is gone I'm definitely getting another!

Best color ever. It's a great summer and spring color, but could be used all year round. Not quite pink, not quite lavender, not quite fuscia; just the best of them all. I've had more compliments on this color than any other that I've owned. Wears great with any color for any occasion.

This is such an amazing, unique color! I really love it, a bright pink, which is not too girly.
Every time I wear it, I can't stop looking at my nails.
As far as I've checked, I didn't find a similar color of any other brand.

I love this nail polish, has just enough brightness to get me excited. Perfect Spring colour although I love it that much I wear it year-round! a nice medium pink with purple-y undertones and in some lighting looks magenta. Although I do need quite a few coats - I do recommend!

This is the perfect spring color; not to pink not too purple. I am constantly running into other people wearing the same shade. As with most Essie colors, the formula is pretty creamy, goes on without streaking and is opaque with 2 coats.

I love this color. It's a very cool toned hot pink. It's blue based so its kind of purple-pink. It looks amazing on my cool toned pale skin. It applies smoothly and one thick coat is enough for me. It also dries pretty fast. It's comparable to other Essie polishes. Definitely something I will buy again and again.

Soooo pretty! The color is a pink/purple shade that looks perfect on my medium skin tone. I don't look good in pale pink, Barbie pink, or frosted pink, but THIS is fantastic. It's a creme (no shimmer), & I need 2 coats to cover. I could easily wear this color year round on my fingers or toes. On me it's a very soft shade but still has some oomph & vibrancy. Essie wears well on my natural nails, & never dries them out. I love this color so much that I bought another bottle!

This color is a definite favorite for spring and summer and I have it on my nails now. My first encounter with this color was when I got it as a manicure about a year ago. I loved it, but didn't actually get it for myself until this spring. The color does not look like grenadine...haha. Its a pink with definite purple undertones. I don't tend to like pure "barbie" pinks, so this color definitely appeals to me. I think the formula is near-perfect. At first it seems a little thin, but only takes 2 coats to become opaque. The finish is shiny and almost doesn't need a topcoat, beautiful!

Wendy Davis files for Texas governor
POSTED: Saturday, November 9, 2013 - 5:33pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 - 1:25pm
(CNN) — Democratic state Sen. Wendy Davis's formal Texas gubernatorial campaign kicked off with the filing of campaign documents Saturday, the first day she was able to do so.
According to CNN affiliate KVUE, Davis and her likely Republican opponent, state Attorney General Greg Abbott, each filed campaign paperwork in Austin.
Davis is seeking the Democratic nomination to replace Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who has said he will not seek a fourth term. There is speculation that Perry will instead make another bid for the White House in 2016 after his 2008 campaign imploded.
The Texas Secretary of State lists November 9 as the first day for primary filing in the state, with the period running through December 9.
Davis first announced her intentions to seek the governor's office at the beginning of October.
"All of you deserve to have your voices heard. Because our future is brightest when it's lit by everyone's star," Davis said at the time. "That's why today, I am proud to announce my candidacy to be the 48th governor of this great state."
Davis is riding a wave of liberal popularity after her June filibuster against a Texas abortion bill gained national attention. Davis managed to temporarily block passage of the law that later passed in a special session and is currently facing a legal challenge.
Davis has so far established her campaign based around issues such as accessible health care and education.
Her opponent has built a reputation as a staunch conservative. First elected Attorney General in 2002, Abbott has defended socially conservative causes during his tenure. These include pushing for the display of a Ten Commandments monument of the grounds of the Texas Capitol in 2005.
Abbott also has sued the Obama administration more than 25 times, including the case that led to the landmark Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, last year.
Despite her name recognition, Davis faces an uphill battle for the governorship in a deep red state Mitt Romney carried 57% in 2012 to President Barack Obama's 41%. No Democrat has won the state's highest office since Ann Richards did so in 1990.
Comments News Comments
If republicans don't like the idea of Ms. Davis being Governor maybe they should nominate a viable candidate. The 6 million people in Texas who don't have insurance might remember that Texas republicans denied them coverage under expanded medicaid and vote accordingly. It's been 3 years since the ACA passed where is Perry's plan? Where is Cruz's plan? The real plan for republicans is to keep 8% of the population making minimum wage and 25% uninsured. It's good for business.
To "whatthehey", et al...unless you all join your wives/daughters/mothers/aunts/sisters in the voter's booth (the vote is PRIVATE), you can only pray that one or all of these women haven't been listening to the Texas war on women's bodies, which just might make the women in your lives decide the day of the good ol' boy network is over. I WILL dream of the day when a level-headed woman trumps the male mentality that demands to ruin the economy and rule women's bodies...see you at the polls.
So little miss abortion is gonna try.
She has a snowballs chance in hades.
Texas won't let a Democrat turn this state into another California.
Hope she brings in Obama and Pelosi to campaign for her.
Foe a matter of FACT deaf, Texas republicans have been killing texas' children (that are outside of the womb) for years with their poverty increasing policies. Texas has the highest CHILD DEATH RATE IN AMERICA DUE TO POVERTY AND the 3 rd highest poverty rate in America thanks to Tx Republicans.
Yup move your business to Tx and we repubs will guarentee low wages for you for years. Tx has more minimum wage jobs than any state in the US. Keep supporting the killing of Tx kids by republicans.
Wendy " the illegal alien activist " Davis will turn this state upside down alright, and fill it up with illegals as that is all Democrats care about, that and sticking their noses into Americans personal business. She will do for Texas what Obummer has done to the USA, do more damage than all the terrorists combined and put a world of hurt on all Americans. I believe that Americans have had their fill of Democrats and their destruction of this country. The evidence is everywhere for all to see.
Wow , where did you get your info at. Todd Staples actualy voted in the legislature to give illegals Tx DLs and in-state tuition rates at or colleges. Perry vetoed the DL bill that passed both republican houses but signed into law the in-state tuition rates for illegals. Where are the Dems in that? In Fact the last time Tx had a balanced budget, a surplus and NO BOND DEBT was when the Dems controlled or state. Repubs have ran our debt through the roof.
GAME ON!! Now, let's see if we can turn Texas BLUE...and with t-partiers and repubs splitting voters, watch what's going to happen when people, and especially women, vote. Wendy Davis is going to turn this state upside down!!

Good news about the newly released OS Microsoft Vista, that it has increased security, but what else did they do? If this article is accurate, I'm glad I'm on an Intel iMac. (Still have a PC for other applications but it NEVER goes online anymore.)
(some highlights below)
"Vista's legal fine print includes extensive provisions granting Microsoft the right to regularly check the legitimacy of the software and holds the prospect of deleting certain programs without the user's knowledge. During the installation process, users "activate" Vista by associating it with a particular computer or device and transmitting certain hardware information directly to Microsoft.
Even after installation, the legal agreement grants Microsoft the right to revalidate the software or to require users to reactivate it should they make changes to their computer components. In addition, it sets significant limits on the ability to copy or transfer the software, prohibiting anything more than a single backup copy and setting strict limits on transferring the software to different devices or users...."
"Last December, Peter Guttman, a computer scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand released a paper called "A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection." The paper pieced together the technical fine print behind Vista, unraveling numerous limitations in the new software seemingly installed at the direct request of Hollywood interests.
Guttman focused primarily on the restrictions associated with the ability to play back high-definition content from the next-generation DVDs such as Blu-Ray and HD-DVD (referred to as "premium content").
He noted that Vista intentionally degrades the picture quality of premium content when played on most computer monitors."

Amy Rivera's husband Alejandro has served two military tours overseas and leaves in August for a 7- to 9-month tour in Afghanistan. They got married two years ago, eight months after meeting through a mutual friend in Long Beach. But with deployments, there was no time for a traditional wedding.
Tthat will change Sunday for the Mission Viejo couple, one of 25 military couples to exchange vows in a glamorous ceremony at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa. Performing the marriage rites will be K-Earth 101 FM's morning personality Gary Bryan and two military chaplains.
They all entered a station contest saying why they should be selected for this event. The Riveras wrote in their entry that "time to plan our dream wedding hasn't been within reach" due to training and deployment separations.
Amy Rivera said in an interview, "It was six o'clock in the morning and we were in the car waiting for Alex to go into work at Camp Pendleton. We were one of the first people to call in. In the mornings, when I would drive Alex to work and we would be stuck in traffic, we would listen to K-Earth because hearing the oldies helped me deal with the road rage."
Amy is 23, Alex is 25. There are two other O.C. couples in the ceremony – Melanie Walker and Ryan Boggs of Fullerton and Erin and Joshua Pryor of Yorba Linda. Of the 30 vendors donating services, 18 are from Orange County. Diva Bridal Legacy in Lakewood is donating all the gowns.
"This event has really helped me deal with his deployment. I had been crying every other single day, but this changed my whole mood. My dress fit like a glove. My grandma and sister will be there, and Alex will have his parents and one of his aunts and uncles."
Bryant e-mailed, "We've been dedicated to supporting the troops through the Bob Hope Hollywood USO at LAX, so when the folks at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach came to us with this idea, we were delighted to jump on board. It's a great opportunity for us to create a special day for some very special people."
Making it all happen are Cheryl Phelps, general manager of the Hyatt, and Wenda Evans of "More than Just Weddings," who is the on-site event planner for the 1 p.m. ceremony in the hotel's Lighthouse courtyard. With an ocean backdrop, the couples will leave under an honorary arch of sabers. They will spend their "honeymoon" night at the hotel.
"We can't say enough. We are so thankful," said Amy Rivera. "At the fitting, I hugged everybody, I wanted to stay a couple more hours. They say Alex is the hero, but they are all the heroes for us."
Lara Scott is joining the 5-10 a.m. weekday "Family Friendly Morning Show" on KFSH/95.9 FM, the "Fish" Contemporary Christian music station. Scott joins Bobby Shaw and Mary Hughes, and will continue to do 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays. Scott e-mailed, "One thing I am really excited about is being able to spotlight people that are doing amazing things in the community, like the high school teacher in Huntington Beach that provides food and opens up her classroom every day for kids that might not be able to afford lunch or have someone to sit with. I hope that when people join us in the morning, they will be inspired by the positive music and conversation." More info: www.thefish959.com.
Last week we wrote about reports of interference when listening to 91X or 91.1 FM in San Diego. Historian Jim Hilliker tracked down the answer: "My friend, Tom Koza, is chief engineer for KTNQ-1020 and their FM stations. But he also takes care of KTLW-88.9 FM, a non-profit Christian FM station licensed to Lancaster - Los Angeles. KTLW does have an FM translator, also known as a 'repeater', which transmits their signal on 91.1 for Glendale-Pasadena-East Los Angeles and another repeater on 91.1 for the Van Nuys area in the Valley. It's likely the first one is skipping into Orange County."
Frost Stilwell has left KFI/640 AM and has been replaced 4-7 p.m. Sundays by Lisa Ann Walter. KFI Program Director Robin Bertolucci called Walter "funny as hell and whip smart. It's great to hear a strong female voice on KFI!" Stilwell said he loved his time at KFI. Next week, he talks about the future.
