About viggen:
Currently, I'm a fifth year Physics graduate student, so my time to write has been very limited. (Hee hee, I'm a published author; I will be second author on a paper coming out in 'Nature Communications.' Okay, yeah, this is like my fourth or fifth paper... but, 'Nature!')
Whoever you are, thank you very much for reading my work!
(6-28-12)- Work on fanfic has been regrettably slow; I've actually been focusing on an entirely original piece. My own world, my own characters. I want badly someday to publish a story of my own, but that will never ever happen if all my effort is directed at works owned by others. I'm decent, I see no reason to do anything but try. I do intend to continue my efforts on "Youngest Channeler" if only when there's spare time.
If you're a fic writer, keep it forever in mind that the goodwill you earn from 'your' readership is actually the fruit of someone else's labor. It isn't really your work people love, it's the work your work is based on.
I'm confused about my interests here a little bit; I like making people happy with what I've written and I know people will read my fanfic if I continue to write it, but I'll never be recognized for my own talent if I waste my time living in the shadows of someone like Robert Jordan. But, I may never be able to sell a work of my own, so it's appealing to write fic. It's gratifying that YC routinely floats in the top ten of the lists in the WOT category even though it is an original character fic --fanfic doesn't win audience for being truly original, hence the word fanfic.
(1-8-13)- "A Memory of Light" is out today. Guess what I'll be reading tonight.
(10-22-13)- I've seen a few comments over the years about my depiction of the character Ghedlyn that have had me thinking. People love to use the words "non-neurotypical" and "non-standard character" in their compliments/criticisms. I am not fond of these words. If you are thinking in terms of "neurotypical" versus "non-neurotypical," you automatically lose what makes a character unique as an individual as opposed to a stereotype. Every character you write should be "non-standard" if you're writing character correctly. While I know that Ghedlyn is autistic-like, remember always that the reasons for her illness are entirely fantastical --I don't know that this can be more clearly spelled out in the story than the number of sections devoted to spelling it out, but there you have it. Somebody somewhere is bound to not get that. There is exactly no reason for this illness to parallel the DSMV and I made no effort trying to be completely real-to-life with it. While the character was inspired by autism and savants, her illness isn't autism.
(2-4-15)- Thoughts about the right way to (learn to) write:
I had an incident that has reminded me again how hard it is for people to talk to each other about writing when a prized story is on the line. As an author, you invest yourself in your work, usually; any author reading this who has any level of skill will understand what I mean. It becomes your baby.
I've thought for a long time about the 'right way' and here are my current beliefs about what can make an amateur into a good writer. Much of it is based on experience, including the recent incident I just mentioned:
1.) Read broadly. If you intend to write, you should be reading a lot. Further, you shouldn't be reading routinely below the level of your aspiration. I think this is important: you are what you eat and if you consume amateur fiction rife with crap, you are going to come to assume that that's the 'correct' way to do it! There are many correct ways to write a story, but there are also many ways to clash with the audience and consign your work to the dumpster --to know the difference, you have to have examples of quality to draw from. So, stick to filet mignon whenever possible. Don't confuse yourself as to the nature of your competition; you aren't competing against the people in your writing group, you're competing against the people who have already succeeded in the industry. Knowing how the latter group operates is what success is all about.
2.) Pre-readers can be helpful, but don't overdo it. You need people looking at your work that can help you and, in order to have that, you need people who are as good or, preferably, better than you. If you're aspiring toward cream-of-the-crop, commentary from Joe Shmoe D-student will take you in the wrong direction. You need someone who is clear-thinking and scathingly critical, someone with taste and skill who can tell you things you don't want to hear. I've done hundreds of thousands of words of rewriting based on what a pre-reader has said and I can tell you from experience that you have to be absolutely certain you've picked the right person to listen to. You simply can't change such large amounts for just anybody. There are several important facets to this:
a.) I think your pre-reader group should be small enough that you can't pick and choose too much of what you listen to. Story writing has a subjective component when it comes to 'like' and 'dislike' and certain opinions can provide input forcing you in directions you may not need to visit. It's important for me to assume that my taste is imperfect and that I'm not biasing the statistical pool of my readers with people of no particular skill telling me I'm doing a good job. My vanity can blind me to criticism that I don't like hearing. So, I limit the number of people I use as pre-readers in order to limit my wiggle room when choosing to ignore criticism I don't like. A part of this is finding the best way to separate your emotional response to criticism from your investment in producing a quality piece of work. You may ultimately find it impossible to publish a piece of work that everybody you listened to told you they enjoyed and the reason might be a bias in which advice you sought --maybe these people aren't actually giving good advice and you're not skilled enough to know it! I've found that trying to listen to too many people, even when they're telling me they 'like' what I'm doing, can lead me on a wild goose chase through contradictory advice since some people will love things that other people hate. So, assume the audience is fickle and try to structure pre-reading opportunities so that the flaws in your work are not hidden behind your own emotional bias toward picking out opinions you want to hear.
b.) You have to have someone that can smack you upside the head and tell you you're being delusional. This is one particular necessary relationship. If you've jumped the shark, which you can't always see when you're doing it, you need someone who can drag you back to Earth. It's difficult to admit to your own shortcomings and doubly so when you're actually weak where you believe yourself strong. Have a friend standing by with a 2"x4" to help troubleshoot your hubris.
c.) You should be autonomous enough from your pre-reader group that you aren't averaging yourself with how they think. One experience of mine was with a group of pre-readers where some of them possessed very strong voices, but modest skill and dubious taste, who were actually completely unable to separate their own voice from what they were reading. I think all writers have this handicap from time to time, but the way criticism was dolled out in this group tended to favor neutral changes that averaged all the voices in the group toward an ephemeral standard voice. You can't know you're facing this if you don't read broadly enough to know you're being told garbage, so I refer ye again to point 1.).
3.) Related to pre-readers, don't use them too much. They should have dim or nonexistent memories of what you're trying to show them. You want their responses to be based on what you don't know rather than what you've discussed with them six hundred times already. When you start explaining to them how a story should work, they'll remember that explanation in place of your story and they won't necessarily be responding to what you think they're responding too. If you've explained your work to them, they can no longer tell you what you truly want to know. Worse, if they're growing bored with rereading something you've given them too many times, they may start skipping things you actually need help with. You want to keep contaminating information out of their hands. This is the fiction-writing equivalent of a blind trial (you can't double-blind because, obviously, you have to know your own work).
4.) Related to picking pre-readers, if you're picking fellow authors, make certain you understand the kind of work they produce. If they are crappy or producing work that is nothing like where you want to go, keep in mind that they will probably make recommendations based on that aesthetic sense. Read what they've produced if possible and decide whether you really want this person to tell you what to do. If you're picking someone who isn't a writer, try to pick someone who reads a lot in your genre of focus; preferably read something that they've read so that you know what sense they'll use when comparing you to published work.
5.) Read broadly. If you skipped 1.), go back there and read it. Better yet, just go back there and read it again.
6.) I've considered the utility of writing groups before. If their idea of editing is sitting around and debating the most valid method for installing a vagina metaphor in a description of the decor of some character's car, run away fast, these people are going to waste your time. Otherwise, I suppose it can be a good place to screen for potential pre-readers. I'm not sure I would just up and offer them what I'm interested in revising because I would want to see what they're capable of first.
7.) Do more than just write and read. I think it's true that you write what you know, so you should aspire to understand as much beyond writing as you can. This is a complement to point 5.) and point 1.)... you need to know what to write about in addition to how to write it. I think there are many ways to accomplish this, but keep in mind that you need a better grasp of what you're writing about than your average audience. I think many modern professional authors fail at point 7.) and, from my background as a scientist, it generally means they have pretty words draped over a foundation made of crap.
8.) Be completely willing to do deep rewrites. Many times, revision involves changing cosmetic features and diddling with word play; this can make something you've written more fluid and readable. Often, it seems like this is the extent of editing that people are willing to do --as if the idea in their heads is already good enough following its immaculate conception. So, what do you do if there are fundamental problems with what you're writing about? Maybe your characters have spent a couple sections on an action that is almost completely trivial to the point of your story: your audience can sometimes look at your work and say, "Well, why did they waste so much time doing this when they could've just opened the door and walked out?" And, sometimes they're right! You have to be willing to do the sometimes huge leg work to fix these problems and there are potentially many different kinds. In my own experience, these sorts of deep rewrites are intimidating because they're usually big and not always foreseeable, but they can also be very satisfying because they can improve a work dramatically. In my experience, a work is often better the second time I've written it, but I would never know it if I wasn't willing to trash huge portions of my earlier effort! (and, no, I don't mean just "rewrite"... I'm mean the labor implied by "written a second time.")
9.) Take writing 'how-to' manuals to be worth not more than a cent. I'm aware that this suggestion is the same as saying that you should ignore what I'm saying, but I feel there's a deeper meaning here. If you're reading as much quality literature as you should, you will encounter demonstrations of every recommendation a how-to manual can possibly make, as well as every variation. A writing how-to should serve as confirmation for what you've already seen. The point is, no matter whose tutorial you're reading, don't just take their word for it and especially don't elevate that word above the study you should be making of first-hand literature.
10.) Develop your own methods of behind the scenes organization. I debated somewhat whether to include this, but decided that it is pretty important and demands some attention. I've met and read about a lot of people who are all bangers on outlining, even read an outline written by J.K. Rowling for one of her books. In a complicated work the quality of writing can depend fairly strongly on organization maintained by the author necessary to keep track of details and plot structure. I outline, I construct trees of a sort, I write extensive lists and I write background. Consider what keeps you consistent when you're writing and try to be sensitive to what features of your creation you may forget or lose track of somewhere down the line. Lists and outlines can be very useful to this, but you must understand well enough about yourself to know what you may need. As a secondary recommendation, I've found that working complicated mathematical problems by hand can be a wonderful training aid for the task of learning to keep track of details and remembering and analyzing logical structures --when I say 'do hard math' I'm talking about problems that need more than a line or two; I mean math that takes pages and demands large amounts of scratch work. Being able to juggle details and remembering far removed components of a logical structure will pay dividends when writing an involved story. I'm not suggesting that you need to take high-level physics in order to learn how to write, but consider that buying a brain teaser book may have payoffs you didn't expect. All that said, I feel that you shouldn't be such a slave to a priori organization that you can't jump free out in the middle if you discover something new that makes the work more fascinating; don't be afraid to deviate from the plan.
11.) Be willing to play the long game. If you're an amateur writer, like me, you must keep what you're trying to do in perspective. If your goal is to get published, you can't just drop everything and write the way a professional writer does, but you have to absorb some of the same lessons a professional writer must, meaning that you have no choice but to embark on some sort of growth curve. Amateur writers are going to have difficulty competing with the experience of professional writers in the professional marketplace. We simply have not performed the act of writing enough. Your habits must permit growth; which is why I've repeatedly suggested making an obligation out of reading high quality work. It takes a lot of time to gain the knowledge your competitors may already possess and you have to be willing to put in that time learning! If you're impatient to be done immediately, you need to put on the brakes and stop yourself before you burn out in a puff of narcissistic insanity. It's easy for an amateur to get obsessed with the particular story you're working on right now and hard to see that if you put that story down for a year and come back later, you'll find you were wasting your time on a piece of crap --you have to be willing to apply growth attained through the course of your writing to what was produced when you began, which means that maybe the thing you care about is full of garbage that you should take the time to remove. The thing you shop to the publishers should not be the thing you wrote while you were still learning how! For perspective on what it takes to produce an iconic work: Ray Bradbury took some part of six years to craft the final version of "Fahrenheit 451," including five versions of the story which are basically totally different from each other; Robert Heinlein supposedly took from 1948 to 1961 to produce "Stranger in a Strange Land." Certainly, lots of people jump through the hoop in less than a year, but they are often writing dreck.
(Addendum to 11.) Signs that you've fallen off your rocking chair and have no perspective on what you've produced:
12.) And finally, lest I need to say it again. Read broadly.
viggen's work
A Layer of Dust: Written circa 1995 just after I first discovered Gunnm. Not quite my oldest fanfic.
The Hunter Warrior Killer: Written 1996-1997 in several large pushes. Started as a textural experiment, but mutated when I discovered that I really loved the villain. An inverse marysue?
Hidden Virtues: My first uber Marysue, written during the height of my Evangelion obsession in about 1998. Subsequently rewritten about four times and coming to include some of my thoughts about martial arts at that time. The formatting of this story has suffered through the upgrades and alterations to this site: it no longer looks quite like I intended. But, that's okay... I detest this story and keep it around more or less as a reminder of what I won't write again.
Serpent at the Window: My last Eva fic. Not a terrific piece of work, but written in the days preceding and following September 11 2001. This story contains my emotional response to the events of that day. I will not write an Eva fic again and almost decided not to write fanfic anymore after a confrontation with a friend based on criticism of this story. Criticism can be hard and is best not leveled by people you care about.
Self Assembler Saga: High concept science fiction that ended up crossed with an impression of "Calvin and Hobbs." This story died in my brain when the original creator of Gunnm began to write "Last Order" and totally trashed my perspective on the main character: she wasn't supposed to be a Playboy Bunny dammit!
Weaving Luck: Written 2005. This work contains the genesis of my current marysue Ghedlyn. There are actually several characters here that I really liked, including the protagonist Aes Sedai, her Warder and the character/s about which the story was originally named. No, the story was not named for Ghedlyn. This story stalled because I realized that it was going to be prohibitively difficult to write it and keep it perfectly true to RJ's original series, which is a fairly large requirement that I impose upon myself when writing fanfic.
Youngest Channeler: 2006 to present. This is my current focus when I have time to devote to fanfic. It was written as a substitute for a blog when I realized I liked the writing experience that blogging provides, but don't like talking about my own life a la journal-open-to-the-world. This story was for fun. I am still working on this, but my time has been divided lately and work is progressing slowly. The writing strategy here was slightly different than I would prefer if I were writing something like a full novel and I think it diminishes the quality of the work: the chapters are written and presented in an episodic fashion, meaning that there is little editorial interaction between the beginning of the story and the current section. This is disadvantageous because it means I can't correct for drift or strengthen/support new ideas had in the process of writing and it means that far reaching plot points are less structured than I would prefer. The block-at-a-time style does have the advantage that it gives immediate feedback, but I think the whole thing is less than it could be.
Desertion of Reason: Written 2009. I stopped "Youngest Channeler" long enough to write this story. It chases a strange psychological idea that I wanted to explore after reading some Philip K. Dick which I decided was uniquely possible within the WOT universe. This story is pretty dark and uninviting, but it is the first fanfic in recent history that I've written to completion prior to beginning to post it. There is an old theme of familial tragedy in here that I've explored in some of my other work and somehow it matched with the feelings of loss and loneliness existent in my life while I was writing it. I have a proclivity for insane characters and this story followed with that. I have no idea whether people will like reading it or not, but I guess that didn't matter while I was working on it.

They brought a whole new concept in MMOs out and you are complaining because things weren't finished. If you were business people, you would understand that the market was ripe for this MMO at the time, seeing as the new Star Trek movie came out. With free advertising, in a sense, they would have been stupid to not capitalize on this. They have been working earnestly on content for both factions. Klingons are the pvp faction right now. Yes, there will be another one, but I see the Romulans as having more of a story to detail out in content than the Klingons really do. They just lost their planet and there is huge upheaval. Most likely Romulans will have the same access as Klingons at the beginning.
Please start believing in your devs. They have put together a lot of things for our enjoyment, and their focus is definitely on the future of this game.
You're the kind of people MMO companies hope for. Release a shoddy product, give to you statements / promises / plan for improvements over the course of at first months, then going into a year or so, and actually doing little or none of what they said they would do. They'd bait you along with these promises, and you'd follow those crumbs wherever they may go, all the while forking money over to their greedy, grasping hands. But you constantly hope that with continued support, the game will come out to what you imagined it could be... no, what it WILL be. And then, after spending something like 2 years on a bad MMO, giving over alot of hard earned money, seen little improvement, or watch the patches slow to a crawl with fewer additions, do you then realize the final truth: You've been f**ked. Hard. And they took their time doing it, too.
Also, who says that the Romulan gameplay will be already a better experience? Just because Romulus blew up? Do you want to know what will bring a better storyline?
Good designers - To mold and guide the overall effort
Good writers - Bring background and flavor to the missions and game world
Good programmer - The guys that try to make something happen out of nothing.
Anyways, the Klingons can have a great storyline. Just like the Romulans, they have a long history in Star Trek... they are one of the original major races introduced by TOS. They too have been featured in countless ST shows and movies. And if I may point out, have been in far more ST movies than the Romulans. The Klingons over the course of ST tv shows have had numerous Klingon-themed story arcs, far more than the Romulans. TOS/TMP era? Kirk has squared off against Klingons far more than any other group he has encountered. Hard to imagine the Federation of that era NOT in conflict with the Klingons. TNG writers LOVED them, and Michael Dorn had numerous chances to shine with his character, Worf, because of those numerous story arcs. DS9, especially with the arrival of the Dominion War, had heavy, heavy doses of Klingon story and background.
The only reason why the background story for Klingons in STO sucks like a sucking chest wound is because the developers blatantly ignored the faction to devote their time and resources on the Federation.

Self sow impatiens - Z5 (pics)
tom8olvr(Z5 MA)August 25, 2008
I've not experienced impatiens in this area self-sowing...
This spring I noticed a few growing - and weeded around
them - and although they aren't spectacular - I'm happy
with the result.
These are my impatiens growing along a retaining wall last year:
well, the seed popped and fell into the driveway - it resulted in THIS this year:
Awwww, ain't they sweet?? The colors aren't exactly the
same - but hey, don't look 1/2 bad! I thought they were
So, they WILL self sow in Z5.

Gattuso sacked by Palermo
Gennaro Gattuso's coaching adventure at Palermo has lasted just six competitive games as the former AC Milan midfielder was sacked on Wednesday.
FOX Soccer's Blog offers unique coverage of the world game. Join us.
The 35-year-old Italian was shown the door following Tuesday's 2-1 defeat at Bari, their second straight loss in Serie B.
Under Gattuso, Palermo have won just two of their opening six games, not enough to impress Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini, who has opted to make a coaching change.
A statement from the club read: "It is with true and profound sadness that I announce the dismissal of Gennaro Gattuso as coach of the first team.
"The results have forced us to take this decision.
"Perhaps he (Gattuso) and I have taken a step too far in what was his first experience as coach, in a club and a city as challenging as Palermo is.
"I have decided to appoint experienced Giuseppe Iacchini as his replacement, handing him the task to lead the team back to Serie A."
Palermo were relegated to the second tier last season.
Gattuso joined the Sicilian giants this summer after a spell as a Sion player-coach last term.
He becomes the 20th manager to be sacked by Zamparini since the Italian businessman bought Palermo 11 years ago.

Kerry Washington in Scandal
We're commemorating Women's History Month (March 1-31) by paying homage to some of the strongest, most complex, bada** icons portrayed in films and television.
As Olivia Pope on Scandal, Kerry Washington plays the person most speed-dialed by D.C.'s power players when they're in trouble. The crisis fixer is calm under pressure and the most competent person in the Beltway — except when it comes to her personal life. Pope's relationship with President Grant is her Achille's Heel.

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Luke 1:40 (KJV)
And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.

NBA Season Preview: Golden State Warriors
Dec 15, 2011, 4:03 PM EDT
Last season: 35-46, 10 games out of the playoffs in the West.
Head Coach: Mark Jackson, who better hope to find something better to say to his players in the huddle than "Hand down, man down!" if he hopes to keep their attention as the season wears on.
Key Departures: Reggie Williams, Charlie Bell, Jeremy Lin.
Key Additions: Kwame Brown, who was added for one year and $7 million in free agency.
Best case scenario: Improvement defensively under new head coach Mark Jackson, which should be the priority, and solidifying a system and foundation for the team to build on in the future.
The team's new ownership group was reportedly in trade talks for Chris Paul, trying to make a splash to show the fans that they're serious about upgrading the team's roster. But ultimately, all they were able to get was Kwame Brown, which isn't as bad as it initially sounds. Brown was a serviceable center on the defensive end of the floor last season, and is now the Warriors' biggest and strongest player on the roster. Clogging the middle and making things difficult on opposing teams' bigs in this league matters, and Brown should be able to successfully do both of those things immediately.
For that to happen: Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry will need to continue to form their chemistry together, and show that they are indeed capable of playing together and sharing the basketball. Additionally, they'll need to buy what Mark Jackson is selling, and with no NBA head coaching experience under his belt, it'll be very interesting to see how the Warriors' two star scorers relate to their new coach.
More likely the Warriors will: This team should be capable of moving the right direction, but with the limited overall talent on the roster, don't expect miracles in terms of seeing positives in the win column just yet.
Prediction: 28-38, out of the playoff picture once again.

There is a sunroom attached to the east by NE front of the house.
IMO, it looks out of place, at best.
I might be able to disassemble it and move the material to the west by SW back of the house.
As it is now, the two LR windows are blocked, and this room is too dark.
Why did the PO do this ??
Check out 775 Locust Point Rd, Manchester via "Bing" birds eye view.
I looked at the pictures on "Trulia". The sunroom doesn't help the looks of the house at all. And I assume these are the best pictures of the house interior? Wow!
My idea is to move the sunroom and replace it with a porch or portico with a Roman/Greek style roof...not cheap, I know.
I am also planning a carport attached to the garage in the same style ..I think, I may extend the house roof to cover the flat roofed addition..
My interior work is cut out....
This place sold for 54K less than 10 years ago, and then $150K in '08 !!!
Barnum and Bailey was an expression for this....
When I referred to the interior pictures, I meant that the rooms were so messy with "stuff" just laying around.
Clean, neat rooms would have made the total package look better.
Absolutely correct, monablair.
I have learned a lot from Home and Garden TV and having inspected many places.
The owner should be outraged, she needed a lot more time to straighten up.... I sense problems.
The camaera man was not so good either.
Real estate can be improved a lot, generally, but then so can many other things.

Most known for its representation in the film 101 Reykjavik, and as Damon Albarn's hangout place back in the days, this most famous bar in Iceland is a popular destination for the artsy and university crowd. This cosy bar/dance club plays the newest electro-house indie music, and sometimes with a mixture of classic oldies in between – but this largely depends on the DJ of the evening.
The place itself is divided into three sectors. On the ground floor there is a dancing area and a bar and on the second floor there is a sitting lounge. From Sunday to Wednesday this is more of a café, but on Thursday through Saturday the volume rises and this becomes one of the hottest bars in Reykjavík.

- Are you ready to become an Employee-preneur?
Job Domination
I couldn't look anyone in the eye, had no confidence and was working multiple jobs trying to get ahead. After learning from Dani, I was the girl who got hired for a job that TRIPLED her income and beat out other applicants with 10 years experience compared to my 11 months of experience.
- Meggan Larson
Job Domination
Prior to coming to listening to Dani I had a masters degree but couldn't communicate. I learned communication skills which helped me land a job with no experience and survive 2 layoff cycles where people with several years experience were cut. Recently I interviewed for and landed a job which specializes in communication skills that tripled my income in a field unrelated to my degree.

This broke me out and made my skin oily unfortunately cause of the bismuth.

Really love this as a setting powder. I used to hate setting my liquid or cream foundations with powder because of the powdery almost cakey finish it had. However, this powder doesn't give that powdery look. It has a slight sheen that makes it look really natural on the skin. I initially applied this with a sponge from MAC (recommended by the SA) which was alright, but seemed a little thick. Now I either use a large powder brush and pat the powder onto my face or use a kabuki brush. Will repurchase until I find a better powder. Btw, I'm an NC30 and use Medium Plus.

FANTASTIC PRODUCT! I've been using it a half year now, and i'm still absolutely in love with this product! I have really dry skin, but i can still use this product without looking cakey! It's not too matte, but there isn't shimmer into it, it just looks natural! I have a couple of friends who also own one, and they love this product too! And one of them has oily skin and the other has normal skin, so i think it works great on all skin types! I will definitely buy it again!

This is a new purchase but I'm loving it. I'm using it mostly over the top of mac face and body foundation to set it and a little more coverage. I got this instead of repurchasing studio fix powder which ive been using for three years just to update my kit and keep on trend with the dewy look thats been popular rather than looking powdery from the studio fix. The mac girl who helped me said they all use that powder and i can see why its a staff fav!

Great powder! Love the finish and does not feel heavy or cakey on the skin. I have a very oily t-zone so have to top up during the day if needed but over all great setting powder.

This powder looks really nice because it's not too matte but it's not shimmery either so it looks very natural. It also has a little more coverage than a sheer pressed powder. Unfortunately I'm acne prone and this breaks me out pretty badly. I used it for like five or six days in a row and got blemishes all over my cheeks. The closest MAC to me is almost an hour away and I didn't wanna drive that far just for a return. So for its high price I wasn't gonna throw it away. Now I use this basically as an eyeshadow. I use it to even out the color on my eyelids if I'm not wearing any shadow and it works really well since it's not a dry powder. Wish it didn't break me out tho.

THANK YOU! Another great product that lives up to MUA reviews. I recently switched from tinted moisturizer to a bb cream and wanted a pressed powder with lighter coverage. The Mac pressed powder blends seamlessly into my skin with sheer, medium, and buildable coverage. I can add more or less depending on where I need it. The dome tray is completely genius and makes it really easy to pick up the powder from my brush. Lots of colors to choose from and packaging is discreet and simple. I would buy this again.

I just got this powder 2 days ago and I really like it! It had a radiant touch to it and it's light coverage makes it give a nice natural look to the skin which I need since I don't have acne or scarring really. The only thing I don't like about it is that it seems a little chalky when powdering ur brush.. But other than that it's quite a good product :)

My overall rating is 4 out of 5 because this isn't a product I use often. When I do use it, though, it's very effective at doing what I want it to do, which is simply evening out my bare skin. I have a few red spots plus a patch of psoriasis, and this powder covers them just enough without my having to fuss with concealer and foundation. It also gives me a more natural "skin" look than my foundation does, because my foundation is the discontinued hyper-real which photographs like I'm a model but in real life gives me too much pink and too much shimmer. I stipple the mineralize on with a fan brush across my t-zone (minus the tip of my nose) and the trouble spots. It takes less than a minute. Mineralize lasts on my skin for about 8 hours, no reapplication needed. If I apply on skin that hasn't been recently well-exfoliated, it will separate a bit. So all the more reason to take care of my skin regularly! It doesn't control shine, but that's alright because I'm not uptight about matte finishes and I can always just thrown some of my Benefit powder on my nose, which is totally different kind of powder and make my face look overdone, dry or cakey.

Francophonic - Vol. 1: 1953-1980
by Franco
Released: Nov 2008
Label: Editions Populaires
Franco's musical output over his career defies the imagination. He himself claimed to have put out 150 albums in thirty years. So a two-CD retrospective seems, well, amusingly thin. It's also glorious. Congolese rumba, aka soukous, is some of the most infectious dance music ever created, and Franco's prolific fingers never seemed to run out of ideas. Maybe that's what happens when African rhythms head to the Caribbean and then return home. These songs infused the Congo (and much of Europe) from the pre-independence era to the rise of Mbotu Sese Seko.

|Carly Simon singles chronology
"You're So Vain" is a song written and performed by Carly Simon and released in November 1972. The song is a critical profile of a self-absorbed lover; Simon asserts "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you." The title subject's identity has long been a matter of speculation. The song is memorable for the clever self-reference, an example of metafiction.
The song is ranked at #82 on Billboard's Greatest Songs of All-Time.[3] "You're So Vain" was voted #216 in RIAA's Songs of the Century. And on August 23, 2014, the U.K. Official Charts Company crowned it the ultimate song of the 1970s.[4] It remains Simon's biggest hit and is considered her signature song.
The distinctive bass guitar intro is played by Klaus Voormann.[5]
Before the song became a hit single in 1972, Simon told an interviewer that the song was about "men" not a specific "man".[6]
In 1983 she told The Washington Post that it is not about Mick Jagger, who contributed uncredited backing vocals to the song.[7] In a 1993 book Backstage Passes, however, Angela Bowie claimed to be the "wife of a close friend" mentioned in "You're So Vain", and that Jagger, for a time, had been "obsessed" with her. Simon made another comment about the subject's identity as a guest artist on Janet Jackson's 2001 single, "Son of a Gun (I Betcha Think This Song Is About You)", which sampled "You're So Vain". Simon said about the song, "The apricot scarf was worn by Nick (Nolte). Nothing in the words were referred to Mick."
In a 1989 interview Simon acknowledged that the song is a little bit about Warren Beatty but said the subject of the song is a composite of three men from her L.A. days.[8] In a 2007 interview Beatty said, "Let's be honest. That song was about me."[9] Simon has said that Beatty had called and thanked her for the song.[7]
Over the years Simon has divulged "letter clues" and has claimed that the subject's name contains the letters A, E, and R.[7]
Shortly before the writing of the song, Simon was married to James Taylor; she has said that he was "definitely not" the subject of the song.[7] David Bowie, David Cassidy and Cat Stevens have all been cited by the press as speculative candidates.[10][11][12]
In August 2003 Simon agreed to reveal the name of the song's subject to the highest bidder of the Martha's Vineyard Possible Dreams charity auction. With the top bid of $50,000, Dick Ebersol, president of NBC Sports and a friend of Simon, won the right to know the name of the person "You're So Vain" was written about. Ebersol was given a private performance of the song at Simon's home and Simon whispered the name into his ear. A condition of the prize was that Ebersol would not reveal the person to anyone. Ebersol said that Simon allowed him to divulge a clue about the person's name: "Carly told me that I could offer up to the entire world, a clue as to what she'll tell me when we have this night in about two weeks. And the clue is: The letter 'E' is in the person's name."[13] Although Simon, at times, had suggested that the subject of the song was a composite of several people, the clue she allowed Ebersol to reveal was a letter in the person's name, implying the subject is one person.[14]
In 2004 Simon told Regis Philbin, "If I tell it, it's going to come out in dribs and drabs. And I've given out two letters already, an 'A' and an 'E.' But I'm going to add one to it. I'm going to add an 'R,' in honor of you."[7][15]
In 2005 Simon's ex-husband Jim Hart said he was sure that the song was not about anyone famous.[16] Several days after the identity of Watergate-era press source Deep Throat was revealed in May/June 2005, Simon joked to USA Today that the song was about Mark Felt, revealing himself as the source and referring to the 1999 film Dick depicting the scandal that used the song in the ending credits.[8]
On June 19, 2008 Howard Stern claimed that Simon had privately revealed to him about whom the song was written after her interview on his popular radio show on Sirius Satellite Radio. Stern commented, "There is an odd aspect to it ... he's not that vain." On March 17, 2009 again on his program, Stern claimed that she had said it was a "composite of three people". Stern repeated this on May 5, 2014 claiming, "she takes me aside, pulls me close, whispers in my ear.. three names. She goes, it wasn't one person, it was three people." Stern thought that one of the names was Warren Beatty and another might be David Geffen, but said that he "forgot." [17][citation needed]
In her 2008 book, "Girls Like Us," author Sheila Weller includes a detailed account of Simon's love affair with musician Dan Armstrong, and suggests that he was the inspiration for "You're So Vain." Simon and Armstrong crossed paths while performing in nightclubs, and formally met in 1968, when she brought her guitar in to be fixed in Armstrong's Guitar Repair Shop. Initially, Simon seemed to have little in common with Danny Armstrong. The married, father of five, was ten years her senior. And his working class roots were several levels below her on the social scale. Although Simon described him as an arrogant, opinionated Neanderthal, she found him to be overwhelmingly handsome and very gifted musically. Armstrong found her attractive and sufficiently talented but always played it cool and didn't come on too much. This of course only made Simon only more intrigued. After a few months of flirting, and a final separation from his wife, the couple started dating.
In his 2012 biography, "More Room in a Broken Heart," author and music journalist, Stephen Davis claims that Carly Simon and Danny Armstrong, had sexual chemistry so intense that Carly, who called herself, "naive" at the time, became experimental, having sex on dares, in cars, parks and in other public places.[18]Although both were busy with their new careers, Simon made herself more available in the relationship. And Armstrong, like many others in their circle, harbored a bit of resentment for Simon's air of privilege. Despite, their differences, the couple dated for nearly two years, until Simon began growing distant. She started spending a lot of time with her friend, songwriter, Jacob Brackman and moved into her own apartment. Dan, who was used to having the upper hand for most of their relationship, was surprised when Carly broke things off. But he handled it well and moved to L.A. to start up a new business. Carly did not handle the breakup well at all. She felt immediate regret and tried to make up with Dan, but was unsuccessful. Her heartbreak over losing him inspired the song, "Dan, My Fling," which appears on her first album. For the next year, Simon tried to reconnect with Armstrong but got no response. Simon even flew out to L.A. a few times while Armstrong was there, making it possible that he was, as the song lyrics go, the man who "walked into the party." Over the years, Carly continued reaching out to Dan at different points and places, but Armstrong had moved on. Carly claimed to have unrequited love for Danny Armstrong for many years. Weller writes that Armstrong had a cocky, boastful personality, once claiming to be the first and only electric guitar specialist in the world. He was also quoted as saying that he,"just plain owned New York at the time."[19] Dan's full name, Daniel Kent Armstrong, contains all three letters of Carly's clue.
On November 4, 2009, while being interviewed on WNYC's Soundcheck, Simon revealed that she had hidden the name of the subject in a certain version of the song. The next day, the program's crew revealed the name concealed in a back-played whisper:[20] David. However, Simon has denied that the whisper was David, saying she has spoken "Ovid" both forwards and backwards, and that sounded like David.[8]
In February 2010 Simon told Uncut that the name of the subject was whispered backwards in a re-recording of "You're So Vain": "There's a little whisper -- and it's the answer to the puzzle."[21][22] A representative for Simon confirmed that the name whispered during the song is "David".[21] Multiple media outlets quickly reported that the subject was actually Simon's former boss at Elektra, David Geffen, and that the song had been inspired by her jealousy of the attention Geffen had lavished on label-mate Joni Mitchell.[23][24] The following day Jim Hart, Simon's ex-husband and close friend, denied that the song was about Geffen.[6] Simon's publicist confirmed that the song was not about Geffen, but that there was indeed "a David who is connected to the song in some way, shape, or form,"[6] and Simon noted that when she first wrote the song in 1971, she had not even met David Geffen yet.[25] Vanity Fair noted that in addition to "David", "Warren" and an unintelligible name are whispered during the recording.[26]
After her performance of the song with Simon in July 2013, Taylor Swift revealed that Simon had revealed the identity of the song's subject to her in confidence.[27]
On Carly Simon's official website, she denies that the subject is Warren Beatty, Mick Jagger, James Taylor or David Geffen. The letter clues she gave rule out Kris Kristofferson and Cat Stevens.[8]

The song was a number-one hit in the US, Canada and Australia and reached number four in Ireland and South Africa.[37] Bowing at #99 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 2 December 1972, the song took only five more weeks to rocket to the top of the chart, where it stayed for the first three weeks of 1973, also spending two weeks at the top of the Easy Listening chart in early 1973, her first number one on either chart. "You're So Vain" was Simon's breakthrough hit in the United Kingdom, reaching number three on the UK chart on its original release in 1973. The song was re-released in the UK in 1991 to cash in on its inclusion in a commercial for Dunlop Tyres, peaking at number 41.
