From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Octopus Octopus Octopus with two eyes and four pairs of arms. All octopuses are venomous, but only the small blue-ringed octopuses are deadly to humans.[3] The Common Octopus, Octopus vulgaris. Biology Scientific classification Kingdom: Phylum: Class: Subclass: Superorder: Order: Animalia Mollusca Cephalopoda Coleoidea Octopodiformes Octopoda Leach, 1818 Suborders Cirrina Incirrina Synonyms • Octopoida Leach, 1817 Play video A common Octopus Octopuses are characterized by their eight arms (as distinct from the tentacles found in squid and cuttlefish), usually bearing suction cups. These arms are a type of muscular hydrostat. Unlike most other cephalopods, the majority of octopuses – those in the suborder most commonly known, Incirrina – have almost entirely soft bodies with no internal skeleton. They have neither a protective outer shell like the nautilus, nor any vestige of an internal shell or bones, like cuttlefish or squid. A beak, similar in shape to a parrot's beak, is the only hard part of their body. This enables them to squeeze through very narrow slits between underwater rocks, which is very helpful when they are fleeing from morays or other predatory fish. The octopuses in the less familiar Cirrina suborder have two fins and an internal shell, generally reducing their ability to squeeze into small spaces. Octopuses have a relatively short life expectancy, and some species live for as little as six months. Larger species, such as the North Pacific Giant Octopus, may live for up to five years under suitable circumstances. The octopus (pronounced /ˈɒktəpəs/, from Greek ὀκτάπους (oktapous), "eightfooted",[1][2] with plural forms: octopuses /ˈɒktəpʊsɪz/, octopi /ˈɒktəpaɪ/, or octopodes /ɒkˈtɒpədiːz/, see below) is a cephalopod of the order Octopoda that inhabits many diverse regions of the ocean, especially coral reefs. The term may also refer to only those creatures in the genus Octopus. In the larger sense, there are around 300 recognized octopus species, which is over one-third of the total number of known cephalopod species. An octopus has eight arms, which trail behind it as it swims. Most octopuses have no internal or external skeleton, allowing them to squeeze through tight places. An octopus has a hard beak, with its mouth at the center point of the arms. Octopuses are highly intelligent, probably the most intelligent invertebrates. For defense against predators, they hide, flee quickly, expel ink, or use colorchanging camouflage. Octopuses are bilaterally symmetrical, like other cephalopods, 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Octopus An octopus moving between tide pools during low tide However, reproduction is a cause of death: males can only live for a few months after mating, and females die shortly after their eggs hatch. They neglect to eat during the (roughly) one month period spent taking care of their unhatched eggs, but they don't die of starvation. Endocrine secretions from the two optic glands are the cause of geneticallyprogrammed death (and if these glands are surgically removed, the octopus may live many months beyond reproduction, until she finally starves). Octopuses have three hearts. Two pump blood through each of the two gills, while the third pumps blood through the body. Octopus blood contains the copper-rich protein hemocyanin for transporting oxygen. Although less efficient under normal conditions than the iron-rich hemoglobin of vertebrates, in cold conditions with low oxygen pressure, hemocyanin oxygen transportation is more efficient than hemoglobin oxygen transportation. The hemocyanin is dissolved in the plasma instead of being carried within red blood cells and gives the blood a blue color. Octopuses draw water into their mantle cavity where it passes through its gills. As mollusks, octopuses have gills that are finely divided and vascularized outgrowths of either the outer or the inner body surface. Stauroteuthis syrtensis, a finned octopus of the suborder Cirrina short lifespans limit the amount they can ultimately learn. There has been much speculation to the effect that almost all octopus behaviors are independently learned rather than instinct-based, although this remains largely unproven. They learn almost no behaviors from their parents, with whom young octopuses have very little contact. An octopus has a highly complex nervous system, only part of which is localized in its brain. Two-thirds of an octopus' neurons are found in the nerve cords of its arms, which have a remarkable amount of autonomy. Octopus arms show a wide variety of complex reflex actions arising on at least three different levels of the nervous system. Some octopuses, such as the Mimic Octopus, will move their arms in ways that emulate the movements of other sea creatures. In laboratory experiments, octopuses can be readily trained to distinguish between different shapes and patterns. They have been reported to practice observational learning,[8] although the validity of these findings is widely contested on a number of grounds.[4][5] Octopuses have also been Intelligence Octopuses are highly intelligent, likely more so than any other order of invertebrates. The exact extent of their intelligence and learning capability is much debated among biologists,[4][5][6][7] but maze and problem-solving experiments have shown that they do have both short- and long-term memory. Their 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Octopus Greater Blue-ringed Octopus (Hapalochlaena lunulata) escape. Other defenses include the use of ink sacs, camouflage, and autotomising limbs. Most octopuses can eject a thick blackish ink in a large cloud to aid in escaping from predators. The main colouring agent of the ink is melanin, which is the same chemical that gives humans their hair and skin colour. This ink cloud is thought to dull smell, which is particularly useful for evading predators that are dependent on smell for hunting, such as sharks. Ink clouds of some species might serve as pseudomorphs, or decoys that the predator attacks instead.[12] An octopus opening a container with a screw cap observed in what some have described as play: repeatedly releasing bottles or toys into a circular current in their aquariums and then catching them.[9] Octopuses often break out of their aquariums and sometimes into others in search of food. They have even boarded fishing boats and opened holds to eat crabs.[6] In some countries, octopuses are on the list of experimental animals on which surgery may not be performed without anesthesia. In the UK, cephalopods such as octopuses are regarded as honorary vertebrates under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 and other cruelty to animals legislation, extending to them protections not normally afforded to invertebrates.[10] Defense An octopus' main (primary) defense is to hide, either not to be seen at all, or not to be detected as an octopus.[11] Octopuses have several secondary defenses (defenses they use once they have been seen by a predator). The most common secondary defense is fast This small octopus species travels with shells it has collected for protection. 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An octopus' camouflage is aided by certain specialized skin cells which can change the apparent color, opacity, and reflectiveness of the epidermis. Chromatophores contain yellow, orange, red, brown, or black pigments; most species have three of these colors, while some have two or four. Other colorchanging cells are reflective iridophores, and leucophores (white).[13] This color-changing ability can also be used to communicate with or warn other octopuses. The very venomous blue-ringed octopus becomes bright yellow with blue rings when it is provoked. Octopuses can use muscles in the skin to change the texture of their mantle in order to achieve a greater camouflage. In some species the mantle can take on the spiky appearance of seaweed, or the scraggly, bumpy texture of a rock, among other disguises. However in some species skin anatomy is limited to relatively patternless shades of one color, and limited skin texture. It is thought that octopuses that are day-active and/or live in complex habitats such as coral reefs have evolved more complex skin than their nocturnal and/or sand-dwelling relatives.[11] When under attack, some octopuses can perform arm autotomy, in a similar manner to the way skinks and other lizards detach their tails. The crawling arm serves as a distraction to would-be predators. A few species, such as the Mimic Octopus, have a fourth defense mechanism. They can combine their highly flexible bodies with their color changing ability to accurately mimic other, more dangerous animals such as lionfish, sea snakes, and eels.[14][15] Octopus them against predators, and gently blowing currents of water over them so that they get enough oxygen. The female does not eat during the roughly one-month period spent taking care of the unhatched eggs. At around the time the eggs hatch, the mother dies and the young larval octopuses spend a period of time drifting in clouds of plankton, where they feed on copepods, larval crabs and larval starfish until they are ready to sink down to the bottom of the ocean, where the cycle repeats itself. In some deeper dwelling species, the young do not go through this period. This is a dangerous time for the larval octopuses; as they become part of the plankton cloud they are vulnerable to many plankton eaters. Sensation Eye of Octopus vulgaris Octopuses have keen eyesight. Although their slit-shaped pupils might be expected to afflict them with astigmatism, it appears that this is not a problem in the light levels in which an octopus typically hunts. They do not appear to have color vision, although they can distinguish the polarization of light. Attached to the brain are two special organs, called statocysts, that allow the octopus to sense the orientation of its body relative to horizontal. An autonomic response keeps the octopus' eyes oriented so that the pupil slit is always horizontal. Octopuses also have an excellent sense of touch. An octopus' suction cups are equipped with chemoreceptors so that the octopus can taste what it is touching. The arms contain tension sensors so that the octopus knows whether its arms are stretched out. However, the octopus has a very poor proprioceptive sense. The tension receptors are not Reproduction When octopuses reproduce, males use a specialized arm called a hectocotylus to insert spermatophores (packets of sperm) into the female's mantle cavity. The hectocotylus in benthic octopuses is usually the third right arm. Males die within a few months of mating. In some species, the female octopus can keep the sperm alive inside her for weeks until her eggs are mature. After they have been fertilized, the female lays about 200,000 eggs (this figure dramatically varies between families, genera, species and also individuals). The female hangs these eggs in strings from the ceiling of her lair, or individually attaches them to the substrate depending on the species. The female cares for the eggs, guarding 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia sufficient for the octopus brain to determine the position of the octopus' body or arms. (It is not clear that the octopus brain would be capable of processing the large amount of information that this would require; the flexibility of an octopus' arms is much greater than that of the limbs of vertebrates, which devote large areas of cerebral cortex to the processing of proprioceptive inputs.) As a result, the octopus does not possess stereognosis; that is, it does not form a mental image of the overall shape of the object it is handling. It can detect local texture variations, but cannot integrate the information into a larger picture.[16] The neurological autonomy of the arms means that the octopus has great difficulty learning about the detailed effects of its motions. The brain may issue a high-level command to the arms, but the nerve cords in the arms execute the details. There is no neurological path for the brain to receive feedback about just how its command was executed by the arms; the only way it knows just what motions were made is by observing the arms visually.[16] Octopus under current taxonomy) can walk on two arms, while at the same time resembling plant matter.[18] This form of locomotion allows these octopuses to move quickly away from a potential predator while possibly not triggering that predator's search image for octopus (food).[17] Octopuses lack bones and are extremely vulnerable to predators. Octopuses swim by expelling a jet of water from a contractile mantle, and aiming it via a muscular siphon. Size See also: Cephalopod size An adult North Pacific Giant Octopus, Enteroctopus dofleini The North Pacific Giant Octopus, Enteroctopus dofleini, is often cited as the largest octopus species. Adults usually weigh around 15 kg (33 lb), with an arm span of up to 4.3 m (14 ft).[19] The largest specimen of this species to be scientifically documented was an animal with a live mass of 71 kg (156.5 lb).[20] The alternative contender is the Seven-arm Octopus, Haliphron atlanticus, based on a 61 kg (134 lb) carcass estimated to have a live mass of 75 kg (165 lb).[21][22] However, there are a number of questionable size records that would suggest E. dofleini is the largest of all octopus species by a considerable margin;[23] one such record is of a specimen weighing 272 kg (600 lb) and having an arm span of 9 m (30 ft).[24] Octopuses swim headfirst, with arms trailing behind Locomotion Octopuses move about by crawling or swimming. Their main means of slow travel is crawling, with some swimming. Jet propulsion is their fastest means of locomotion, followed by swimming and walking.[17] They crawl by walking on their arms, usually on many at once, on both solid and soft surfaces, while supported in water. In 2005 it was reported that some octopuses (Adopus aculeatus and Amphioctopus marginatus Terminology There are three forms of the plural of octopus; namely, octopuses, octopi, and octopodes. Currently, octopuses is the most common form in the US as well as the UK; 5 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia octopodes is rare, and octopi is often objectionable.[25] The Oxford English Dictionary (2004 update[26]) lists octopuses, octopi and octopodes (in that order); it labels octopodes "rare", and notes that octopi derives from the mistaken assumption that octōpūs is a second declension Latin noun, which it is not. Rather, it is (Latinized) Greek, from oktṓpous (ὀκτώπους), gender masculine, whose plural is oktṓpodes (ὀκτώποδες). If the word were native to Latin, it would be octōpēs ('eightfoot') and the plural octōpedes, analogous to centipedes and mīllipedes, as the plural form of pēs ('foot') is pedes. The actual Latin word is "polypus," which does render the plural "polypi." In modern Greek, it is called khtapódi (χταπόδι), gender neuter, with plural form khtapódia (χταπόδια). Chambers 21st Century Dictionary[27] and the Compact Oxford Dictionary[28] list only octopuses, although the latter notes that octopodes is "still occasionally used"; the British National Corpus has 29 instances of octopuses, 11 of octopi and 4 of octopodes. Merriam-Webster 11th Collegiate Dictionary lists octopuses and octopi, in that order; Webster's New World College Dictionary lists octopuses, octopi and octopodes (in that order). Fowler's Modern English Usage states that "the only acceptable plural in English is octopuses," and that octopi is misconceived and octopodes pedantic. The term octopod (plural octopods or octopodes) is taken from the taxonomic order Octopoda but has no classical equivalent. The collective form octopus is usually reserved for animals consumed for food. Octopus Moche Octopus. 200 A.D. Larco Museum Collection Lima, Peru In mythology The Hawaiʻian creation myth relates that the present cosmos is only the last of a series, having arisen in stages from the wreck of the previous universe. In this account, the octopus is the lone survivor of the previous, alien universe.[31] Octopus at Tsukiji fish market Relationship to humans Ancient peoples of the Mediterranean were aware of the octopus, as evidenced by certain artworks and designs of prehistory. For example, a stone carving found in the archaeological recovery from Bronze Age Minoan Crete at Knossos has a depiction of a fisherman carrying an octopus.[29] The Moche people of ancient Peru worshipped the sea and its animals; moreover, octopuses were often depicted in their art.[30] As food Many species of octopus are eaten as food by human cultures around the world. The arms and sometimes other parts of the body are prepared in various ways, often depending on the species being eaten. Care must be taken to boil the octopus properly, to rid it of slime and the smell, as well as any residual ink. Octopus is a common ingredient in Japanese cuisine, including sushi, takoyaki, and Akashiyaki. Some small species are sometimes eaten alive as a novelty and health food (mostly in South Korea). Similarly, a live octopus may be sliced up and the legs eaten 6 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia while still squirming, which they continue to do for some minutes. Octopus Octopus, one can choose a small octopus (around the size of a tennis ball) and be confident that it is young with a full life ahead of it. Octopuses are also quite strong for their size. Octopuses kept as pets have been known to open the covers of their aquariums and survive for a time in the air in order to get to a nearby feeder tank and gorge themselves on the fish there. They have also been known to catch and kill some species of sharks.[33] Classification Octopuses are "tickled" out of their holes in the Hawaiian Islands with 3-pronged polespears Octopus is also eaten regularly in Hawai'i, many of the popular dishes being Asian in origin. Locally known by their Hawaiian or Japanese names, ("he'e" and "tako" respectively) octopus is also a popular catch used as fish bait. Octopus is also a common food in Mediterranean cuisine and Portuguese cuisine. In Galicia, polbo á feira (fair style octopus) is a local delicacy. Restaurants which specialize or serve this dish are known as pulperías. According to the USDA Nutrient Database (2007), cooked octopus contains approximately 139 calories per three ounce portion, and is a source of vitamin B3, B12, potassium, phosphorus, and selenium.[32] A fisherman's catch of octopus dries in the sun • Class CEPHALOPODA • Subclass Nautiloidea: nautilus • Subclass Coleoidea • Superorder Decapodiformes: squid, cuttlefish • Superorder Octopodiformes • Order Vampyromorphida: Vampire Squid • • Genus †Keuppia (incertae sedis) • Genus †Palaeoctopus (incertae sedis) As pets Though octopuses can be difficult to keep in captivity, some people keep them as pets.

The variation in size and life span among octopus species makes it difficult to know how long a new specimen can naturally be expected to live.

I've implemented a webapp for iPhone 4 , which correctly loads "apple-touch-startup-image".
I followed the Apple documentation : 320 x 460 pixels and in portrait orientation, which works well when I open it as a webapp (from Mobile Safari). However when I try to open my webapp link from a very simple UIWebView inside a native app , it does'nt show the apple-touch-startup-image.
Is there any way to perform that, for the purpose of showing a loading screen?

Residence Domaso was a complete hit with us. It was our first time to the Italian lakes and my son had wanted to go to Garda but we loved our holiday here and thought lake Como fantastic!
The apartment was well designed, we loved that we could still get british tv from our apartment ( very sad I know) and above all we loved the personal touch that the family that run the Residence gave and the attention to detail. The pool and spa area was great and I thought the old part of Domaso was beaut - Anonymous
first of all i want to mention about the owner of villa Jimmy.Jimmy is very kind and eager. he explained us everything about the appartment and the area (restaurants,parking,sightseeing etc) with every little detail.he loves what he is doing.the villa is situated on 17th century.stay in villa vinicia is like being in another time.the appartment is modern with nice furnitures ,electrical appliances ,satellite tv ,wifi , warm water any time. tap water is potable with the best taste ever ! villa v - Anonymous
General all round cleanliness of the accommodation and facilities including bedroom, grounds, and an immaculately clean pool and poolside!

Date of Stay: July, 2013 - $30.00
This is a small, "minimum frills" campground. Most of the sites are seasonals so there are a lot of friendships amongst the campers and everyone we encountered seemed to be really friendly. There is a flat grass area with a small stage where the campground musicians play for the crowds. The lake is beautiful and has a very shallow decline which makes it nice for kids. They can go out pretty far and still touch the bottom. There is one playground for the kids with a couple of climbing structures and swings but nothing too extensive. We went during the 4th of July weekend and it was amazing. They started Saturday with a patriotic tractor parade for the kids, ice cream social in the afternoon and finished out the night by putting on an amazing fireworks show over the lake. The surrounding residence to the lake join in with fireworks of their own and it makes the show just as good if not better than those you would go to a major beach to see. If you are looking for an all inclusive "resort"-like campground, this is NOT the place for you but if you are comfortable making new friends and having group dinners and just relaxing then this place is a good one to check out. We camped at Tippicanoe Campground in a Travel Trailer.Undo

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Electorate deserves better than these guys
Two hundred years ago, an ultra-conservative French lawyer who despised democracy came up with a line that remains a popular means of putting down the electorate.
"In a democracy, people get the leaders they deserve," sneered Joseph de Maistre, a monarchist nut-job of a philosopher who believed ordinary people should knuckle under to the wealthy and powerful.
You won't find many people who agree with de Maistre today. But you will find cynics who believe all voters are idiots who wilfully blind themselves to the failures of people in power.
The thing is, nobody deserves bad government. When ordinary people vote, they do so in good faith, believing politicians place the best interests of the public ahead of any other consideration.
This doesn't make voters idiots. It simply means voters are willing to hold up their end of the social contract known as democratic government. In the City of Winnipeg, it's now safe to say some of our elected officials and public servants have not been willing to hold up their end of the deal.
We have a municipal government we do not deserve.
Over the past 14 months, senior city officials have told outright lies to the public about Winnipeg's fire-paramedic station replacement program. Ernst & Young's external review of the badly managed, over-budget and unfairly tendered construction of four new fire-paramedic stations illustrates this fact in stunning and depressing detail.
In August 2012, when the fire-paramedic scandal first emerged, Mayor Sam Katz, former chief administrative officer Phil Sheegl and other officials were quick to assure the public there was nothing wrong with a project that involved a three-for-one land swap arranged by the then-deputy fire-paramedic chief, the construction of a station on privately owned land or the lack of council oversight of four separate contract awards.
"There's nothing that's been done that's untoward," Sheegl said during a remarkable press conference on the second floor of city council's administration building on Aug. 31, 2012.
"I think we followed all the procedures and policies we have," said the former CAO, who famously claimed his own oversight took place at 50,000 feet.
Sheegl, of course, was found by Ernst & Young to have conducted "the majority of project oversight, where oversight occurred."
Sitting at the same table was former fire-paramedic chief Reid Douglas, who was found by the audit to lack the expertise to handle the program and admitted as much to council and the public this week.
Also at the table was Winnipeg chief operating officer Deepak Joshi, now the city's acting CAO, whom the audit found aware of the land-swap negotiations before they concluded.
Also present was planning, property and development director Barry Thorgrimson, whose department was criticized by the audit for failing to point out the proposed land swap would benefit Shindico Realty to the tune of approximately $1 million.
Also present was city solicitor Michael Jack, whose team of lawyers was criticized by the audit for failing to advise the city against signing off on the construction of Station No. 12 on Shindico's land.
Also present was materials manager Barb D'Avignon, whose unit was criticized by the audit for advising it was OK to split up construction contracts in a manner that avoided council scrutiny.
Also present was chief financial officer Mike Ruta, who according to the audit signed off on allowing a contract award for only the foundation of Station No. 11, against city practices.
To be fair, the audit found most of these officials raised concerns at some point before August 2012, when the story broke. But they all stood beside Sheegl when he sounded the all-clear and said nothing to reporters from the Free Press and CBC Manitoba.
All, in effect if not intent, lied to the public. For example, only one day before this meeting took place, on Aug. 30, 2012, D'Avignon told Douglas in Sheegl's office Station No. 11 was under construction without a contract in place, the audit reported.
Two days before that, on Aug. 28, Katz had told the public there was no problem with the program and any criticism was premature.
Fourteen months later, this mayor told reporters -- and the public, by extension -- he had no idea why Sheegl resigned from the city, even though weeks earlier, Sheegl was shown portions of the audit and was given an opportunity to respond. Katz continues to deny he knew anything about the audit before he signed off on a severance package for Sheegl, his friend and confidante. This strains credulity to its limits.
The bottom line: Officials lied to the public. The mayor has no plausible deniability. And many other members of council are only speaking out now that they appear complacent and unengaged.
The electorate deserves better. No one in Winnipeg deserves this sort of leadership or administration.
To suggest otherwise is to despise democracy, as de Maistre did.

About Bartley Kives
Bartley Kives wants you to know his last name rhymes with Beavis, as in Beavis and Butthead. He aspires to match the wit, grace and intelligence of the 1990s cartoon series.
Bartley joined the Free Press in 1998 as a music critic. He spent the ensuing 7.5 years interviewing the likes of Neil Young and David Bowie and trying to stay out of trouble at the Winnipeg Folk Festival before deciding it was far more exciting to sit through zoning-variance appeals at city hall.
In 2006, Bartley followed Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz from the music business into civic politics. He spent seven years covering city hall from a windowless basement office.
He is now reporter-at-large for the Free Press and also writes an outdoor-recreation column called Offroad for the Outdoors page.
A canoeist, backpacker and food geek, Bartley is fond of conventional and wilderness travel. He is the author of A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada's Undiscovered Province, the only comprehensive travel guidebook for Manitoba – and a Canadian bestseller, to boot. He is also co-author of Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, a collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott and the winner of the 2014 Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award.
Bartley's work has also appeared on CBC Radio and Citytv as well as in publications such as The Guardian, explore magazine and National Geographic Traveler. He sits on the board of PEN Canada, which promotes freedom of expression.
Born in Winnipeg, he has an arts degree from the University of Winnipeg and a master's degree in journalism from Ottawa's Carleton University. He is the proud owner of a blender.

This is my new favourite blush I just love it. It makes me look like I've been running or outside in the winter. It also makes my cheeks glow and looks so lovely. I usually apply it with my fingers! Just a really good blush. This blush is really pigmented so you only need a little bit.. too much and it can look like a really bad allergic reaction. It does not last all day for me... i apply midday but its a small price to pay for a not too expensive, pigmented cream blush.

Beautiful blush, really! It's in a bold pink colour with a hint of coral.
When blended into the skin it actually looks really natural, and adds that healthy/fresh GLOW to your face.
Also I've had this for over a year, and its still very wet and not dried out, like some cream product do.

It looks really bright and scarily orange in the pan, but it's actually the perfect shade for the fair but warm-toned (like me). You only need a tiiiiiiiiny bit, though - it's very easy to get carried away and end up with clown/doll cheeks. I think I'd prefer it packaged in a tube, but the texture (which is perfect) might not translate, and I do feel a bit glamorous using the sleek little black pot. Even though my cheeks get quite oily, this doesn't bleed off or make me break out. I'll be using this forever, I think; most of the time I don't need blush, but when I'm not feeling well or it's just an especially pallid skin day, Glow is an instant fix. I don't get a lot of sun, but you'd never know. Just one of NYX's many amazing-especially-for-the-price products.

This is really cute and inexpensive. It's not the most subtle shade, but it works in the great way lipstick works on your cheeks. This looks as scary in the pan, but not so scary on. It's the best shade for (NC20), but I take no points off for that. I knew it was a stretch. It wasn't expensive and I couldn't help myself. When I don't overdo it, it can work. I don't love cream blushes though and that extends to this. I love NYX powder blushes, but this isn't doing it for me.

NYX makes the best drugstore cream blushes! I have tried the Revlon photoready cream blush (twice the price), and the color pay off is horrible! I have also tried the l'oreal magic souffle mousse blush and the maybelline dream bouncy blush but the NYX rouge cream blushes are definitely the best! It gives the skin a dewy finish and feels light on the skin. It blends easily and has a skin-like appearance. Its fuss free and lasts about six hours. The pigmentation, which is what really blew me away, is wonderful! Overall, I really recommend this product. You can apply it with your fingers, use a blush brush, or a stippling/ buffing brush, each of which give you a different amount of color pay off.

Best NYX cream blush shade. really brightens the face just like its name, also it highly pigmented so a little goes a long way. Love it! My fav cream blush, will surely repurchase it!

Just a perfect color.....like my cheeks would be with a natural flush. Blends easily and very pigmented. I will probably have to throw it out before I run out due to it getting old.....you get so much for your money. It may be a little wasteful but such a good value. I would absolutely repurchase and probably will try others colors.

I recently asked a MAC SA to help me find something to make my cheeks "pop," needless to say I walked out of MAC empty handed and a little disheartened. Although I have a sizable blush collection, I don't have any cream/liquid blushes, mainly because I'm quite oily and have never had faith in the longevity of cream products. This blush by NYX has changed my perception of cream blushes. It is highly pigmented so I use my RT stippling brush, the one with the pink handle. I get some on the brush and stipple on the back of my hand to remove most of the product, I then lightly stipple my cheeks, and the result is that they POP. The color is sheer and looks like it is coming from within, this color is also build-able without looking over the top. I use this after I have powdered and "set" my foundation, I've never had a problem layering this cream over my powder.
Lately, I've been topping this off with a light dusting of NYX cinnamon blush and this combo is beautiful. I think this cream blush really gives a youthful "glow" to my cheeks and the glow kind of acts as a highlighter because of the way it catches the light on the top of my cheekbones yet, it never looks like an oily mess. For reference I am an NC35.
*Just a quick update, my husband was standing behind me as I applied my makeup (we were holding a conversation while looking at each other through the mirror), and when I applied this he stopped talking and said WOW, you're cheeks are so glowy. Lol, I told him funny, thats the name of the blush! Bumped up the lippies from a 4 to a 5, because my husband couldn't help but compliment :)

Help with ID, nannyberry?yaupon holly?
crazyoldgoose(7a)November 17, 2012
I winter sowed some seeds last year and had some come up that were supposed to be nannyberry but the leaves look more rounded and seem somewhat waxy. I also wintersowed some seeds of what I think was yaupon holly, (from a sooth or rounded edged holly that I picked them from in Alabama.) I'm not sure if I got them mixed up but if I did I find it strange that the hollies came up in the first year? Any help? Thanks

Christ Church Woodley runs a Youth Club for school children on term-time Saturdays. It runs from 19:30 to 21:00 for children (school year 4 and above) from 19:30 to 21:00. Currently it is mostly year 4 and 6 children.
It is not an open club, only members of church families or church organisations, and their friends can come. That includes members of our brigades and scouts, Messy Church, Holiday Bible Club and those with other local church connections. If you are not connected in some way, we might not let you in.
It is currently free to get it and you may wish to bring say a pound to buy a can and some eats.
Sweets, chocolate and soft drinks are available for purchase; all profits go to charity.
We need everyone to complete a form on arrival; juniors will need a parent or guardian to help complete it.
The club is only open during term time, closing for half term and also times when the buildings or adult leaders are not available.
We hope to open the following weeks, leaders and any building work permitting:
We are not open for sure on the following dates:
Some particular activities are planned each week, which are optional, such as craft, music, cookery.
Activities that are normally available each week are: computers/Internet, Wii, table tennis, ball games, board games, music/microphones. Most members just want to chill with their friends.
Have you seen the Facebook Group for the club? It was set up by Brett Stollery who was a member eons ago!.

Since the ascendance of Ronald Reagan three decades ago, the Republican Party has evolved into the anti-science (or make-up-your-own-facts) party with a smug know-nothing attitude that is crippling efforts to address the looming crisis of global warming, as Michael Winship notes.
Israeli Scholar Disputes Founding Myth
From the Archive: Republican presidential frontrunner Newt Gingrich seems to be laying the groundwork for ethnically cleansing Palestinians from Greater Israel, calling them "an invented people" who "had a chance to go many places." But an Israeli scholar offered a contrary view, as Morgan Strong reported.
GOP Clowns Take Over the Circus
The Republican presidential race has had many jaw-dropping gaffes and fumbles, but perhaps most shocking is the thought that the extreme policies on display might actually come to pass, offering what Lawrence Davidson sees as the strongest argument for supporting President Obama's reelection.
Is Obama's TR Rhetoric Just Talk?
In the same Kansas town where Teddy Roosevelt castigated his era's financial speculators 101 years ago, President Barack Obama spoke to the concerns of America's 99 percent, those who have struggled while the super-rich prospered. But is Obama's new rhetoric just talk, asks Danny Schechter.
Is Gingrich Fit to Be President?
Exclusive: Soaring in the polls, Newt Gingrich is confidently predicting his capture of the Republican presidential nomination and now sees the White House within his grasp. But, Robert Parry asks, is this divisive megalomaniac fit to run the most powerful nation on earth?
Insider Stock Trades on Capitol Hill?
Public opinion polls for Congress have sunk into the single digits and some observers are wondering why the ratings aren't even lower. The latest area of abuse is the alleged use of insider information on Capitol Hill for lucrative stock trades, reports Michael Winship.
Are Americans in Line for Gitmo?
Exclusive: Though the 9/11 attacks occurred more than a decade ago, Congress continues to exploit them to pass evermore draconian laws on "terrorism," with the Senate now empowering the military to arrest people on U.S. soil and hold them without trial, a serious threat to American liberties, says ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
Three Pillars of a Revived Republic
Exclusive: As local governments shut down more Occupy encampments, the movement for the "99 percent" is at a crossroads. Some supporters advocate more civil disobedience; others urge a shift toward media outreach; and still others want a move into politics. But Robert Parry notes that all three approaches may be required.
The Lost Opportunity of Iran-Contra
Special Report: A quarter century ago with the breaking of the Iran-Contra scandal, the United States had a chance to step back from its march toward Empire and to demand accountability for White House crimes. But instead a powerful cover-up prevailed, reports Robert Parry.
Would Jesus Join the Occupy Protests?
In the holiday season, many Christians take pride in helping the poor – by donating food and toys – but U.S. religious leaders have stayed in the background of challenges to an inequitable economic system, leaving that Jesus work to mostly secular young people of the Occupy movement, the Rev. Howard Bess observes.

Happy birthday Joe, from Joe?! Did he wish himself a happy birthday?
Also I think this is hilarious. Seriously, are they engineers? I have to know.
Posted by: Nomnom | Friday, June 21, 2013 at 10:17 AM
i think the idea was that they could print generic cards for the employees, and then select who's birthday it is and then check-off who signed it. it's pretty effing cute, in my opinion. then again, i'm an engineer. heh
Posted by: AlwaysBeNiceToTechSupport | Friday, June 21, 2013 at 11:20 AM
My mom works at a bank and they pass around a bunch of cards at the beginning of the year and everyone signs them. She's gotten birthday, get well soon and condolence cards signed by herself.
It was awkward and funny at the same time.

So... Peter and Steve F. don't like Joe? Or were they absent that day? Someone couldn't check their boxes off, just for completeness?

Peter and Steve F say "FUCK JOE!" without ever having to actually say it.

It's your basic rug mat. Doesn't offer much cushion, but placed underneath a thick rug- it is all you need! It's also nice because the material is very easy to trim with scissors if it is a little bit too big for your rug. Good buy.
This was much less expensive than many others I've seen and worked perfectly for under the rug in our dining room. It is especially nice for a thicker rug, as it doesn't add any additional thickness.
We used this rug pad on a tile floor under a woven seagrass rug. It does seem to reduce movement and prevent the rug from slipping under foot. If you are looking for padding, look elsewhere.
Exactly as advertised. It is a nonslip pad, meant to hold rug in place. I had no problem trimming . Works best if you do it with the rug in place. Took me less than 10 minutes and only that long because I was crowded by furniture. I believe it is a great value. Having purchased many of these type pads over the last 20 years, most at higher prices locally, I really feel this one is the best value I have gotten.
As described. Seems to do the job.
This rug pad does nothing to help the rug lay flat.
Not much for cushion but it does the job as far as non slip goes. Easy to trim down to size as well.
Unfolded and laid flat right away. Perfectly holds Safavieh area rug in place, that was also purchased from Overstock.
A must for the carpet perfect to stop carpet from slipping

The current American war in Iraq is a struggle in search of a goal.

Pentagon Overpaid Supplier With Exclusive Contract by as Much As 85%
|By: DSWright Thursday October 30, 2014 1:46 pm
In honor of tomorrow being Halloween here is another horror story from the black hole of Pentagon financing. According to a report by Department of Defense's Inspector General, the Defense Logistics Agency exceeded their prices targets by as much as 85% when servicing a contract from a vendor who had exclusive rights to provide replacement aircraft parts.
The contract for replacement aircraft parts was with Ontic Engineering a unit of BBA Aviation Plc.
Video Shows ISIS Getting Weapons Meant For Kurds, Pentagon To Investigate
|By: DSWright Wednesday October 22, 2014 9:09 am
The Department of Defense has launched an investigation into its airdrop program for Syria after a video surfaced on youtube showing ISIS fighters going through an airdrop package meant for Kurdish forces. The airdrop occurred around the contested city of Kobani and included weapons intended to help Kurdish fighters defend the city from ISIS. Instead, the weapons were captured by ISIS and will likely be used against Kurdish forces.
Silicon Valley Meritocracy Myth Takes Another Blow as Qualified Minorities Not Hired
|By: DSWright Thursday October 16, 2014 12:55 pm
Silicon Valley's image to the outside world is that most American of conceits – a meritocracy where people are rewarded for what they know not who they know. The meritocracy myth has taken a series of hits lately as major firms have disclosed that the companies are overwhelmingly owned and operated by white men with privileged backgrounds.
Even More Military Equipment Being Sent To Local Police Forces
|By: DSWright Tuesday August 5, 2014 12:10 pm
Despite crime being on a steady decline for the past decade and the threat of international terrorism being wildly overstated, local police departments are stockpiling military grade weaponry. The militarization of police forces has become such a prominent phenomenon that the ACLU now dedicates a portion of its resources to studying the trend. Community policing – particularly in poor areas where people of color live – has been replaced with military style raids by heavily armed SWAT Teams.
Pentagon Finances Still 'Unauditable'
|By: DSWright Thursday May 15, 2014 1:30 pm
Though we live in the age of austerity, at least concerning the 99%, the Department of Defense gets around $600 billion a year. More funds than any other military in the world. More funds than the next ten highest spending countries combined.
So what happens to all that money once it enters the Pentagon?

FDL Book Salon Welcomes Robert M. Farley, Grounded: The Case for Abolishing the United States Air Force
|By: David Axe Saturday March 15, 2014 1:59 pm
It's been a rough couple of years for the U.S. Air Force. The flying branch has squandered billions of dollars on gold-plated aircraft and other weapons it doesn't need. It has mishandled nuclear weapons. Airmen in the nuclear force have been caught cheating on exams. And then there are the numerous sex scandals.
At the same time, the Air Force has struggled to remain relevant during the course of two land-centric wars.
FOIA: DoD Documents on Health Effects of Exposure to Depleted Uranium Weapons
|By: DSWright Tuesday February 25, 2014 9:18 am
In response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by Firedoglake on the health effects of exposure to controversial weapons that use depleted uranium, the Department of Defense sent a series of studies and agency memorandum concerning the health effects of US personnel after they were exposed to depleted uranium.
Pentagon Plans Shift From Occupation Armies to Assassinations and Cyberwarfare
|By: DSWright Monday February 24, 2014 10:20 am
After a decade of pratfalls in the Middle East with occupation armies that became easy targets for opposing militants, the Department of Defense is making some changes.
