This is an amazing brush! I originally wanted the Platinum Airbrush Foundation Brush from Sephora, but I'm glad I got this one instead. It does an amazing job of buffing in the foundation. I'd definitely repurchase.

Hands down to Sonia Kashuk! You can really tell that she put a lot of time and effort into designing this brush. It fits comfortably in your hand so buffing in foundation is like a spa treatment!
The bristles are synthetic so it doesn't soak up a lot of product. It's small enough to get into every part of your face. You can even use it for cream blush (which I have yet to try).
The packaging is very sturdy. I still use the plastic case for travel because it keeps the brush in perfect condition.
Overall, just a great product! It totally changed the way I put on my liquid foundation.

This is my first review. I keep seeing the raves for this but I just had to add my dissenting opinion. I don't know what in the world to do with this brush. I have had it for quite a while, and when I first bought it I thought it was so amazingly soft and wonderful. But even though the bristles are soft in themselves, they are so short and compact, and with the completely flat top, end up feeling stiff and hard. Then buffing with this makes me red. And forget if I'm having even the hint of a dry day, then I get flakies everywhere (never, ever with ANY other brush). I have tried and tried to use this somehow but it's irritating to my skin. And it doesn't make anything look exceptionally good either. I did see one sample at target the other day that was super splayed out and fluffy (probably from being touched like crazy) and I couldn't help but think "how can I get mine like that..."
Edit: I found out an actual good use for this is with very liquidy foundation. MUFE F&B with a moistened brush does a good job. Anything at all creamy, thick, or a powder just will not work for me at all!

This is my FAVE of all time applies liquid to powder well. I own quite a few, it is definitely a staple product to have. Whenever I see it in target "rarely" I make sure to snatch it up.

This is a perfect brush for liquid foundation! I actually have 2 of them. It blends my foundation perfectly! You can find this at target for I believe $14.99.

Heck yeah! This brush applies everything well! BUY THIS BRUSH!!! You will love it and for not even a third of a Mac or sephora brush! :D

I actually have two of these...I'm paranoid about being without one. Although I use other brushes for applying my liquid foundation, this brush is the best one, most perfect for it's smaller size, and for the denseness of the bristles. I also like the funny ergonomic handle...I'm less likely to drop this on the floor than other, smooth-handled brushes. My liquid foundation applies like a dream, and though I have flaky skin, buffing the foundation in gently does not cause me problems. I use skunk brushes and other stippling/buffing brushes, but this one is the one I keep coming back to.

This brush is great for applying foundation. I put some foundation on the back of my hand, stipple and blend. It gives a flawless finish with no streaks. This brush doesn't shed. I wash this brush at night and it's ready to use in the morning. (I gently spread out the bristles so air can get in and dry them faster since it's so dense. Good to go in the am!) It's a pretty brush with it's curvy hand and shimmery black color! For $15 you can't beat it!

LOVE THIS BRUSH! i bought it so i could apply my new MAC foundation because the stippling brush&&flat foundation brush didn't seem to apply it nicely, so i figured I'd try a flat top brush. While wondering target i stumbled upon this... and what luck! Of course at the target i went to there are no prices. So i went up to the cashier completely on faith. Price is a bit scary, but i figured if i didn't like it i could return it. BUT I DIDN'T HAVE TO BECAUSE THIS BRUSH IS AMAZING! it gives you a nice airbrush finish. it works the best if you apply foundation to face, just place it on your face and then blend with this brush. AMAZING PERFECT FLAWLESS FACE! for a brush this great i would pay the price :)

This brush gives a great flawless finish to liquid foundation and is THE BEST brush for cream blushes! LOVE.

A seat in the woodlands at Allt na Criche, near Loch Ness, Scotland. The woods are planted with a variety of trees, but with conifers being dominant. The floor of the woods is littered with brown conifer needles. This panorama was taken in autumn.
Allt na Criche is owned and operated by the Forestry Commission Scotland. The name is Gaelic, and means 'boundary stream'. The burn (stream) here traditionally marked the boundary between the estates of Glenmoriston and Glenurquhart.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

Put Safety First: Avoid Flooded Roadways August 8, 200811:00 AM AUGUSTA, MAINE – With today's heavy rains, numerous road closures are being reported due to local flooding, with many reported in York and Cumberland Counties. The Maine Emergency Management Agency is urging Mainers to pay close attention to weather forecasts and road conditions, and to avoid all flooded roadways.
Road conditions are changing rapidly – a road that is currently open may be flooded and closed in a very short time. Serious damage to the road may be hidden by flood water. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful enough to sweep vehicles off the road. Most flooding deaths are vehicle-related. Find another way around. In addition, stay away from rushing water while walking. As little as six inches of rushing water can sweep you off your feet. Keep children and pets away from rushing streams and drainage ditches. 511 Maine, the Maine Department of Transportation's Travel Information system, has information on road conditions. Dial 511 from your telephone to get a recorded message on road conditions, or visit the web site http://www.511maine.gov For more information on disaster preparedness and safety, visit http://www.maineprepares.com Contact:Lynette Miller207-624-4420 Last update: 07/20/10 |

How to pick the right Linux distro for you — Linux beginners guide, part 3 [Guide]
Posted By Justin Leroux On March 6, 2014 @ 1:25 AM In Linux | 13 Comments
[1]This article is part of an ongoing series [2] that hopes to bring a working knowledge of Linux to users of Windows. In the first article [3] we introduced Linux on a basic level. In the second article [4] we answered some commonly asked questions about Linux. In this article we are going to discuss Linux distributions and continue to answer questions.
Choosing the right Linux distribution is a very important step in the process of switch to Linux, because each flavour (distro) is different and you will want one that matches your needs (and potentially personality). I have tried almost 100 distribution and tested them on many people, after all I have been instructing people in the Linux culture for a few years now. Having said all of that, each person is different and each distribution is right for a different reason. I have seen many Linux users "forcing" a distro on beginners and truthfully this is a bad thing to do and so I ask that the community and comments will respect the each users choices. (As know you will. :-)
One thing that I have forgotten to mention until now, is that each distro brings its set of ideas and a philosophy as well. There is a man with seven honorary doctorates and his name is Dr.Richard Stallman. Dr.Stallman was the founder of the GNU operating system which was a free and open source Unix like operating system. Dr.Stallman was missing a single component, a durable kernel. A man by the name of Linus Torvalds created such a kernel and he called it Linux. Dr.Stallman and Mr.Torvalds creations came together to create GNU/Linux and every distribution is based on both the GNU and Linux projects, so please remember that even though we call it Linux it is really GNU/Linux.
Here is a movie called Revolution OS. It talks about the creation of the GNU/Linux system. It maybe a bit dry, but it gives a lot of information if you are interested.
KDE vs Gnome
One could write an entire dissertation on the topic of KDE vs Gnome but I want to explain to you the main differences, in a painless way and as much as they differ it all comes down to personal preference in the end. The major differences come in appearance, they look different and offer different features, for example in the upcoming versions of KDE, KDE connect will interface with an android device giving you the ability to send text messages from the desktop (like Mightytext). Here is a screenshot from Ubuntu 11 using a KDE desktop and then using a Gnome Desktop. Please keep in mind they are both Ubuntu.
Ubuntu 11.04 running the Gnome desktop.
Ubuntu 11.04 running the KDE desktop.
I have given much thought to how I was going to organise this list and what distributions to explain. By no means will I be able to cover each flavour of Linux and if you find a distro you like and it hasn't been covered, we are still here to help you. If you find a distrobution that wasn't covered let me know in the comments.
When we talk about the many distributions available to you, we need look a few important aspects of the system and you will need to ask yourself some personal questions. Many of questions you should be asking yourself are;
Many people around the world love and use Ubuntu and it is a great distribution for new and novice users alike. Ubuntu is backed by a company called Canonical, they have a vision of unity between all devices and they bring that to Ubuntu in a desktop environment called 'Unity'. Unity organises your desktop in a unique way, you will have a task-bar similar to the Mac Launcher.
Ubuntu is an excellent operating system for both new and older hardware. Ubuntu also has a very large software selection and an even bigger support group. It is based on Debian and offers a long-term support version and normal cycle release. The difference between the two are support timelines and stability.
I at one point used Ubuntu as my main distribution but I was not a fan of Untiy and what Dr.Stallman called a "malicious" feature. The Ubuntu launcher allows you to search your computer and the web, Ubuntu has partnered with Amazon and so Amazon tracks your search and displays targeted affiliate linked products in the search results. This can be easily turned off and I will make sure that you know how to do that.
A few other features include
Ubuntu is very easy to use and powerful enough to keep both beginners and novice user a like, satisfied for years to come. Ubuntu is perfect for users who want access to a very large repository (collection) of applications from the get go. As a side note we will be covering Ubuntu in most of the series.
If you're looking for a new and popular Ubuntu based distribution you can try Mint [7]. Mint offers much of the services and the features that Ubuntu offers.
CentOS is a popular distribution that is used for the enterprise community, including many web hosting companies like Blue-host or JSU-HOST. CentOS has big thing for only using stable and proven packages (software), they are very serious about a stable environment for working. CentOS is built on Redhat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and they have just partnered with Redhat to provide a unique experience. By no means should my personal considerations be part of your decision but I switched from Ubuntu to CentOS and I will never go back. One thing that should be noted is that the ease of use out of the box is fairly poor, if you wish to install something like VLC or the latest LibreOffice you will to add custom repos (software channels).
If you are looking into the world of open source and you feel that you want to support it then you are almost safe to use CentOS. You will have access to both free and non-free software by default. CentOS is a lightweight and fast operating system, you will have gnome 2 installed by default and very little eye candy. So if you are looking for a stable system without bling, then select CentOS and you won't be sorry. On a parting note for this system, your range of software available by default is small and you will need to custom install most of your software.
CentOS does not have a nicely built software centre nor does it offer the newest software. but what it does offer is great speed and stability. It will run on computers new or not and offer you great hardware compatibility.
OpenSUSE has been around for a long time and if offers some great features. OpenSUSE was started in 1996 by four German Linux enthusiasts and is backed by a company called Novell. OpenSUSE is very different from CentOS because Suse is a testing ground for Suse Enterprise Desktop/Server whereas CentOS is modified build of RedHat Enterprise Linux. I would not recommend OpenSUSE for older hardware or lower end systems as many of packages are heavy on resources and so is the desktop.
OpenSUSE does not offer you an app store like Ubuntu or Mint, but it has a very large software collection and is fairly stable for general use. For beginners OpenSUSE isn't a bad choice. If you are starting to get into the philosophy of the open source world then I would recommend that you stay away from Novell. The reason for this is because Novell and Microsoft had deal in 2008 which gave Microsoft a few of Novells patents. This gives Microsoft a claim at the Linux world which many see as a nightmare.
Other Distros
There are many distributions available to the world. I have only covered a few and ones that I have used. You can learn more about all the versions on a website called DistroWatch [10].
What about Picture Editing?
Linux offers you many features and one of them is advanced photo and video tools. Dreamworks Animation uses RedHat Linux and custom made tools they released to the open source world. There are a number of tools you can use, please have a look at some of these; GIMP, DigiKam, Shotwell and if you're a fan of Corel software you can use Corel Aftershot Pro though it is not free and it is closed source.
I am having wireless connectivity issues with a Dell laptop
This is a common issue with some Broadcom devices and the solution for many might be simple and for others hard. Please view this help guide here [11] or try a different distro such as CentOS.
How do I dual boot?
This is a very common question and it has a simple answer. When you start the installation process for many distributions, the installer will search for existing installations like Windows. On the Ubuntu install it will ask if you want to install along side Windows and if you select yes…. That's it! These very same steps will work on; CentOS, OpenSUSE, Fedora, Mint, Debian and many others. You can aslo dual boot, triple boot and so on if you wish. As long as Windows is installed first.
What about Skype?
Yes there is a version of Skype for Linux [12].
In the next article we are going to be discussing setting up the desktop and some the must have tools that you will that you should install. Thank you for reading this week and hopefully it is a bit easier to read. If you have any questions you would like answered please just ask them in the comments. I look forward to helping on this great and noble journey.

Bloomberg Lauds Mich. Decision In Favor Of Background Checks For Guns « CBS New York
interesting case. discuss.
It simply bans private sales without involving a FFL dealer, which is ridiculous unless you're a gun store. If I want to sell a piece of my property I have every right to do so, and laws like this don't make us any safer. States that don't have such requirements are no less safe than those that do. The only difference is that you have been deprived of yet another piece of your property rights, and it is too bad Michigan did not repeal it. It was not long ago that there were no background checks at all, and the country was not mired in third world anarchy then. It's time to drop the drama-queen arguments against your freedoms and let laws like this go the way of the dodo.
I don't have a problem with background checks in order to sell a gun.
The last thing I want to do is possibly sell a gun to a convicted felon, or a guy wanted for murder...or a guy who escaped prison.
In Iowa, you must have a Sheriff issued permit to purchase handguns, or a permit to carry weapons, in order to purchase a hand gun; whether from an individual or a licensed dealer.
It's not a bad situation, really. Though I don't care for it, it does sort of assure that you aren't selling to someone who wouldn't pass NICS check.
It could be worse!
I suppose
The law as stands in MI requires one to obtain a pistol purchase permit before buying a pistol. No gun shop is needed to be included in the transaction. Having a CCW permit allows one to purchase with out a prior obtained permit , however a registration card is still required to be filed with the Sheriff's dept.
All pistols must be registered to the owner to be legal. While we may have some silly restriction ( no SBR's, pistol registration ) MI is getting better every year. Suppresor ownership is now legal and pushes to lift gun free zones are being considered.
Bloomberg is just talking out his rear as usual, maybe some of the downstate dems agree with him, much less so the farther north you travel.
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." Thomas Jefferson
Nemo Me Impune Lacesset
If there's a way to truely prevent criminals from obtaining firearms, I'm all for it. Otherwise, all registration/purchase permit procedures are a hinderence, an infringement, and hogwash.

Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid... Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
Am I understanding this correctly? "All pistols must be registered to the owner to be legal"? Are you saying the state if Michigan maintains a record of who owns all handguns in the state?
I have never lived in a state that requires firearms registration, so please forgive my incredulity, but I find this to be unacceptable.
What about someone moving into the state of MI.; are they required to register their firearms?
"If you make something idiot proof, someone will make a better idiot."
- Anon
If Bloomberg is fer it, I'm agin it. With respect to SB59 which would lift gun free zones (provided additional training) aren't we approaching a year that it emerged from committee with a favorable recommendation? I'm not disagreeing that Michigan is moving forward just wondering what the hold-up is.
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations James Madison 1788
I suspect they are going to dither until the end of this session and then we get to start all over again next year. There is good information over at Michigan Gun Owners: SB 0059 Eliminate gun boards; go to SoS - MGO Community Forum
If you have never broken your gun or bled on your gun in training, you're doing it wrong!
Train hard, live easy.
Fellow Michigan people. I could have swore that it was orders that all records regarding the registration of hand guns in Michigan were to be destroyed. Am I wrong in that? It has been a minute since I have purchased a gun in Michigan but I remember reading something about that somewhere. I maintain my CPL and drivers license in Michigan for tax purposes but have not bought a gun in Michigan since I got my CPL.
One more law won't stop even one more crime.
all states should set up a system so that private gun-sellers could do NICS checks on folks they want to sell guns to.
who wants to take a chance that they are about to sell a gun to a convicted rapist or someone who just broke out of prison?
I sure don't.
If I ever sold any firearm "PRIVATELY TO ANYONE".
I would go through an FFL to transfer ownership to them so it is now on the record that; I NO LONGER OWN OR AM RESPONSIBLE FOR, that firearm.
Even if I lived in an area that it wasn't necessary to do so......PERIOD
You never ever never ever ever know were it could end up or how it could get there or what it may be used for. It could get stolen, lost, given or lent to someone, or resold and I for one would not take that chance!!!
When I say ANYONE I mean ANYONE Friend, Family, and for sure any Strangers I do not know!!!!

If someone ever wants to buy a firearm from me and doesn't want to go through an FFL to transfer ownership and pay any fees then too bad for you
Why can't anyone print out an application have the buyer fill it out and call it in just like gun shops do?

Buy 2 or more for $179.95 per racquet.
As the lightest member of the Radical clan, the Graphene Radical REV is super fast. But make no mistake, this one is no lightweight. With its head heavy balance and meaty swingweight (330 RDC), the Radical REV not only remains impressively stable against pace, but it puts a little extra heft behind every shot. The result is easier depth for players with shorter strokes along with blistering pace for those who like to swing big. Thanks to this racquet's precise and spin friendly response our TW playtesters found good control on their biggest swings. At net the extra mass in the head provides a little extra stability for hitting block volleys, while the speedy feel makes it easier to react quickly or crush floaters. As for serves, this one offers plenty of power along with some nice action on slices and kickers. All in all, the Radical REV is an extremely versatile stick which offers a very impressive combination of maneuverability and stability.

Team representatives will meet with Formula One racings governing body, the FIA, on Wednesday afternoon to analyse proposals put forward by the teams to reduce the costs of competing in the sport.
The proposals, agreed by the teams at a meeting of the Formula One Teams Association (FOTA) in London last week, include several measures to significantly cut costs for the 2009 season, as well as precise plans regarding further reductions for 2010 and 2011.
The FIA has already outlined its own proposals, including standardised engines from 2010, which it will push ahead with should the teams propositions prove unacceptable. These would give teams the choice of purchasing a low-cost Cosworth engine at a set price, building their own engine to the same specification, or continuing with their current 'frozen' V8s.
More than one team has voiced opposition to the standardised engine concept and on Wednesday Renault released a statement insisting their position is in complete accordance with that of FOTA, after reports claiming they were planning to take up the FIAs Cosworth offer, which teams have until Thursday afternoon to sign up to.
Final details of any cost cutting measures agreed could be given official approval at this Fridays meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council.

O'Neill admits England interest
07 Jun 2006 - 10:01:59
Former Celtic boss Martin O'Neill has admitted that he was interested in becoming the next manager of the England national team.
Irishman O'Neill had been one of the favourites for the position after it was confirmed that Sven-Goran Eriksson would leave his post after the World Cup finals, before Steve McClaren eventually landed the job.
O'Neill told BBC Radio Five Live: "It is one of the great jobs in world football.
"If Brian Clough, who had the ego the size of 15 houses, had the humility to go for an interview for the England job, then the rest of us mortals should be able to subject ourselves to that.
"Had the job been offered, then I would have been absolutely foolish to turn it down."
Meanwhile, Eriksson's agent, Athol Still, says that his client is totally focused on his England commitments, amid growing talk of a move to Real Madrid later this summer.
He told the Daily Mirror: "We have had so many approaches from people associated with or purporting to be associated with candidates in the Real elections.
"I have said the same thing to all of them. Sven would be honoured to coach Real Madrid, but all that will have to wait until after the World Cup because right now his focus is on England."

After a decades-long ban in which gay members were prohibited from joining the Boy Scouts of America, it appears as if the organization might be ready to consider letting local organizations decide their own policies and allow the national organization to wash their hands of the issue once and for all, according to Reuters.
"The BSA is discussing potentially removing the national membership restriction regarding sexual orientation," BSA spokesman Deron Smith said in an email to Reuters. "The policy change under discussion would allow the religious, civic or educational organizations that oversee and deliver Scouting to determine how to address this issue."
The Boys Scouts has long been criticized by gay rights groups as well as parents for their exclusion of homosexual boys and leaders. It's been a highly controversial topic that once went before the U.S. Supreme Court.
The change could be announced as early as next week following a regularly scheduled meeting of the group's national board, according to NBC News.
In mid-2012, the organization, which is one of the largest private youth groups in the country, upheld a ban on gay members, calling it "the best policy for the organization."
NBC News is reporting the potential change of heart is due to what a BSA officials calls "a response to what's happening at the local level."

Daily Dribble: Final Four Odds
January 23rd, 2007
by Shawn Siegel
The NCAA Tournament is less than two months away.. the Final Four will be here before you know it. That much we know.. but who will make the Final Four? According to the AP Poll, there's a pretty clear top 4 at this point. Florida, Wisconsin, UCLA, and UNC are ranked in that order and all 4 received first place votes. Obviously though, the odds are slim that all 4 of those teams, or whichever teams get seeded one through 4, make it all the way to Atlanta.
I'll leave it to the bettors to quantify teams Championship chances as being 200 to 1, or 1,500 to 1 or whatever the odds may be. Instead, I'm going to rank the Top 10 teams based on their chances of reaching the Final Four.

Despite his difficult relationship with its 2008 predecessor, Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen cant wait to drive the F60 under race conditions when the 09 championship gets underway in Australia this weekend, hinting that it's far better suited to his driving style.
"Putting on the helmet and racing is something worth living for," said Raikkonen. "The number of tests has been limited, but I had fun anyway to work on a completely new car. I can confirm that I like the F60 more than last year's car. It's much more fun to drive and it reminds me more of the cars I was used to some year ago.
After winning the title in 2007, Raikkonen struggled to match team mate Felipe Massa in the F2008 last season and finished the title race third, behind the Brazilian and world champion Lewis Hamilton. But the 29 year-old Finn has put his disappointment behind him over the winter and is looking forward to seeing how this years new regulations, particularly KERS, affect the field.
It seems that a really long time has passed since the last race in Brazil, also considering all the changes of the car: it will be really interesting to see how its development will evolve, he explained. There's a lot less aerodynamic downforce than last year, so we'll be slower in the fast corners, but the car will have much more grip in the slow ones, due to the slicks.
The KERS is something very interesting and easy to use: I hope that it will make overtaking easier. From the first test the whole team was positively surprised by how well the KERS works. Everybody is expecting more overtaking now, but I think it's still a bit too early to say what will happen and if the lower downforce will help when you're in a slipstream.
Raikkonen, however, was unwilling to be drawn on whether his delight in Ferrari's new car will pay off in terms of results, refusing to forecast where the team will stand compared to their rivals in Melbourne.
It's difficult making predictions, considering the many rule changes this year, he added. Ferrari was very competitive during the tests; but we'll do the F60's countercheck at Melbourne, when we'll all meet in the race with the same fuel at the same time. Only then we'll see how strong we are and maybe we've got to wait for a couple of races to have a clearer situation.

For Microsoft's fiscal year ending June 30 the division which includes the Xbox posted a $1.9 billion loss -- $1.2 billion of that was from the fourth quarter alone when Microsoft owned up to the Red Ring of Death issues. The division actually climbed 28% over the year and may even be profitable soon according to Microsoft entertainment division lead Robbie Bach, who sold millions in stock just as the Red Ring of Death warranty issue broke -- but, that's just a coincidence.
Microsoft says it shipped 6.6 million units of the Xbox 360 and now has a base of 11.6 million and manufacturing costs for the Xbox 360 continue to decline. They also say that revenue in games increased 19% to a total of $650 million. They're also expecting a blockbuster holiday with that little game called Halo 3 coming out along with some other highly anticipated titles. If it weren't for the RROD debacle Xbox wouldn't have actually had such a bad year. Now we wait for the price drop.
