The battle among the Big Three U.S. auto makers for full-size pickup truck buyers is getting as down and dirty as the hard-working, mud-splattered vehicles they show in the commercials. General Motors, Ford and Chrysler have entered a new day of back-biting that may harken to the watershed moment in 2009 when GM and Chrysler accepted U.S.-government bailouts — and Ford demurred.
The latest punch in the tete-a-tete has been delivered by Chrysler's Ram brand, which poses a question in the brand's new national TV commercial, above, for February's "Ram Truck Month": What do you get if you subtract the horsepower, torque and warranty coverage of a Ram? The answer: a Ford F-150. Ram Truck Month 2012's slogan is "Test our Metal," but it seems it's Ford's mettle that's being tested.
Chevrolet also took a shot at Ford in its Super Bowl ad set in an apocalyptic 2012, in which the only one of a band of survivalists who didn't make it out of the rubble was the guy who owned a Ford truck. The rest of them, Silverado owners, all emerged.Continue reading...

M&M's "Just My Shell" reveal of Ms. Chocolate was the most popular Super Bowl 2012 commercial, as voted on by YouTube users in its thumbs up/thumbs down Ad Blitz contest. The new character reveal of the brand's "Chief Chocolate Officer" was no doubt helped by a post-game social campaign around the character.
Rounding out the top five, Chrysler's "Halftime in America" spot featuring Clint Eastwood was #2, Bud Light's "Rescue Dog" (aka "Here Weego") was #3, Chevy Silverado "2012" was #4 and the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl fan-created "Man's Best Friend" was #5.

General Motors CMO Joel Ewanick tweeted that his Super Bowl Sunday got off to a surprising start: "Woke today with letter from Ford asking Chevy to pull 2012 Super Bowl ad. Really! We stand by our longest-lasting most dependable truck."
Turns out that Ford sent a letter to GM and NBC demanding that the commercial, which shows Chevy Silverado owners surviving the apocalypse while their Ford truck-owning buddy doesn't make it, be pulled.Continue reading...

Just when it seemed that almost every Super Bowl ad already had been revealed or teased, brand marketers' buzz machines continue revving up. GM is promoting their Super Bowl XLVI spots on Chevy's YouTube channel — including talking insects on a Chevy Sonic and Volt-enchanted aliens, which you can watch below — with YouTube-only clips with Rainn Wilson encouraging fans to share, engage and vote for their favorite spots.Continue reading...

U.S. auto sales continued their nice recovery in January overall, by 11 percent over a year earlier, as a number of brands extended their own surges — and some fell back a bit.
The biggest winners when industry sales were announced today were Volkswagen, whose January sales were a whopping 48% ahead of last January, and Chrysler, which reported a 44% year-over-year gain. Chrysler credited its recent spate of 16 all-new or significantly refreshed products, while Volkswagen of America CEO Jonathan Browning pointed out that the brand's "growth strategy continues to take root."
Also posting healthy double-digit gains were brands including Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Hyundai.
Perhaps more interesting, though, is that Nissan, Honda and Toyota all reported significant increases in sales for January over a year earlier: 10 percent, 9 percent and 8 percent, respectively. While those numbers don't seem very impressive per se, what is significant is that they represent gains over the brands' pre-tsunami performances. So these are very positive indicators for the Japanese brands as they complete their comebacks from the March 11 natural disaster of last year.Continue reading...

Don't expect General Motors CEO Dan Akerson to go meekly back to Flyover Country after his resolute defense of the Chevrolet Volt before Congress last week. His appearance will rank as the high-water mark for the car's critics, not for the car.
The appeal of Volt to American consumers is poised to begin rising again. There's a new federal imprimatur on its crash-worthiness. GM will use its new marketing campaign, including on Super Bowl Sunday, to get out a fresh and upbeat message about Volt. And gasoline prices will likely start rising again, at least for seasonal reasons, as spring approaches, meaning that American consumers will be taking a closer look once again at what they shell out at the pump after about a year of relative stability, though at about $3.50 a gallon.Continue reading...

One of the fascinating things about Super Bowl advertising is that the decisions around it offer a microcosmic look at big-picture branding strategies.
That's certainly the case in the auto industry, where like other brands, the "regulars" seem to keep coming back year after year. General Motors, Hyundai and Audi, for instance, certainly approach the Big Game strategically. And their decisions for Super Bowl XLVI provide interesting insights into their overall thinking behind brand strategy these days.
General Motors will have Chevrolet dominating its Super Bowl advertising, as usual, this time with a total of seven Chevy spots before, during and after the game, including a spot by aspiring commercial director Zack Borst resulting from the brand's Route 66 contest.Continue reading...

100% Nylon Taslon
January 12, 2012
Exellent value
January 13, 2012
Bought as a lighter waterproof for warmer days but with enough room to wear a fleece underneath. well finished with the right number of pockets for bits & pieces.
I am so pleased with this jacket. it is a super fit, and feels very comfortable to wear. particularly like the longer length, which gives added protection from the elements. great price too!

Blinds and Shades with Quality
Are you decorating your home for the first time? Are you updating your original home design to match your current style? No matter which category you fall into, Select Blinds has got you covered. And it all starts with your windows.
The right window coverings can change the overall look and feel of any room in your home. With our vast selection of blinds, shades, and drapes, you can find exactly what you're looking for. No matter if you have a contemporary style or a coastal style, we can help you find the perfect blinds, shades, or drapes.
Want the designer look without the designer price? Explore our wood blinds, faux wood blinds, and shutters to get started. With all our styles, fabrics, patterns, and colors, you're going to wish you had more windows to decorate!
Energy Efficiency
Creating an energy-efficient home ultimately means saving money on energy costs. Virtually any window covering is better than none, but choosing the right type of window blind or shade will give you the tools you need to save the most money and have a comfortable home throughout the four seasons. At Select Blinds, we can help you get there. HouseLogic found that a home with an average of 15 windows with energy-efficient shades can save about $150 annually in energy costs.
One of the best window coverings for energy efficiency is the cell shade, also known as the honeycomb shade. Cell shades are made of two or more layers put together in a diamond shape cell, with a pocket of air between them. This pocket of air helps to trap the unwanted outside temperatures from seeping into your home.
Pleated shades are closely related to the cellular shade. While they don't have air pockets, the pleats work similarly. Or choose solar shades to help block the sun's heat, harmful UV rays, and protect your furniture from fading. Many of our blinds products come with liners that also make them more energy efficient.
Child Safety
All our shades and blinds are safe for children when they're installed correctly. However, dangling lift cords can be hazardous to children and pets. There are ways to eliminate the hazard, however. The first way is to eliminate the blinds or shades cord altogether by upgrading to cordless window coverings. At Select Blinds, we are leading the cordless charge by being the first and only company to offer free cordless upgrades on our honeycomb, roman, solar, roller, and bamboo shades!
The second way to eliminate the hazards of corded shades and blinds is to always use cord cleats. Cord cleats help to keep the cord out of the reach of children. While every corded window covering ordered from our site provides cord cleats, sometimes they are easy to overlook. With that in mind, we created a free cord cleat program, which means you can request cord cleats, no matter if you've ordered blinds from us or not.
Tech Tips and Buying Guides
Not only do we provide customizable, quality window blinds and treatments, but we also have technical tips and buying guides to take you every step of the way. Our tech tips cover everything from how to measure for replacement blind slats to shortening slats that are too wide to changing a cord tilt to a wand tilt. If you need help measuring for your new window treatments, we provide step-by-step written and video instructions that make it easy.
Find the right product for your home by browsing through our buying guides. You can search by room, by style, by purpose, or by product. If you know what specific product you want, whether it's blinds, roman shades or shutters, we'll tell you everything you need to know, including how to care for those materials and the customizable options available.
At Select Blinds, we take the guesswork out of buying blinds and window treatments. Welcome to an easier, better way to shop, all from the comfort of your own home.

From: staten island, NY
Region: Northeast
Topic: Herbs/Forbs, Shrubs, Trees
Title: Suggestions for native perennials in Staten Island, NY
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:My back yard garden has a good base of evergreen shrubs and perennials all doing well in clayish soil and I am ready now to add color and texture in an area with partial sun. Can you suggest hardy perennial flowers that are are long lasting, tall and showy as well as some very tall ferns? Also, can you suggest a tree that is green all year, no leaves, that would survive the soil?
Before we begin, can we do a little term-defining? You referred to a tree that is "green all year, no leaves.." We trust you mean not a deciduous tree that drops its leaves in the Fall. Any tree is going to have to have some kind of leaves, to take the sun's energy and convert it into food for the plant to exist. Nobody likes to rake leaves, but they're great for compost piles, if you're into that.
We found a number of perennials native to New York that can grow in a clay soil, and four ferns. The tree situation was not quite so easy. As far north as you are, there are not many trees, including the conifers, that will stay green all year and still take the clay soil. We found a couple, and are going to suggest that you check out this Cornell University Department of Horticulture website on Trees and Shrubs. We weren't sure what county Staten Island is in, but it appeared that it is in Kings County, and we found this Cornell University Extension website on New York City. On one of those sites you should be able either to find a better list of trees suited to your situation, or a contact that can give you information. Click below on the plant name links and get the information on the webpage from our Native Plant Database. If you still need more information on the plant, go all the way to the bottom of the webpage and click on "Search Google for (plant name)".

Breakfast links: Old dominion, new rules
2. For Georgetown how in the world is the lack of transit not a factor?
Go out to a Fairfax park on a Saturday, you will see more diveristy than you can shake a stick at. From cricket games, little kids soccer and to organized Latino soccer leagues which all figured out how to get permits to use the fields. Every race, income level and sport skill is represented with the required $5 permit.
People who think Fairfax County is lily-white need to get out more. Fairfax and Montgomery are both much more diverse than DC.

@ Ryan: Fairfax is racially more diverse than you might think. It is true that Fairfax has way less blacks than PG and DC, even VA, but Fairfax has a very sizable Latino and Asian community.
And from:
Black 9.2% 19.4%
Asian 17.5% 5.5%
Latino 15.6% 7.9%
White (not Hispanic) 54.6% 64.8%
I DO believe Fairfax to be diverse. Maybe I did not make myself clear. I was trying to make the point that the was some racial undertones going on here. My assumption which I am sure everyone will yell at me about was that these "pick-up games of more than 20 participants OR watchers" refers largely to the hispanic comm. playing soccer. Especially when you throw in the on-lookers needing a permit, ie. the rest of the group grilling out under the tree.
But thanks everyone for the diversity lesson.
The Participant part of the enforcement is meant to avoid situation where the offenders say "those people are just watching" so they can get their numbers under 20, and when the cop or park official turns the corner, they reenter the game; it is an old trick. Also, the Hispanic community has a very large organized soccer league presence, so this rule protects them too.
Thats tabloid-level warping of the title going on here.
According to the article, the proposal is pretty common sense. It's just to enforce that the passing lane is in fact only used for passing.
My theory: residents of and visitors to Georgetown don't have good taste in food and don't appreciate good food.

this guest house has an 4 star AA rating accreditations clearly visible on the building however this is definitely not a 4 star guest house, I would rate this as a 2 star maximum although we enjoyed our stay.
unfortunately there is very little we could say that could be positive. the shower had dust around the channeling outside, the hot water tap is dirty, needs good clean. the tea spoons supplied were filthy & sticky. at breakfast we both had full English the bacon was almost inedible my wife could not eat hers it was rock hard and had obviously been cooked and left too long. breakfast was served 8-9, we came down 8.35 the breakfast tasted very greasy. all things considered not too good. the owners were nice people I hope they make sure their standards improve

Aimee stayed in my apt for 6 days, and treated it very well. Easy to communicate with. I would recommnd Aimee. Welcome back to Bergen :-)
Through the eyes and expressions of Aimee and Trevis I realized that they have certainly appreciated and intensely lived in Rome while in the suites have found the right climate and atmosphere of love and warmness. Pity that their holiday in Rome was really short, I'd begin to put the rules in my home where required guests and friends to stay at least four nights. Rome is so beautifui land so large that it is difficult, as in the big cities, you can feel the details and i the essence of the story in a few days, however, my guests were very welcome and very friendly. of their I conserv the memory and the image of two people who are enthusiastic about life and the beautiful things that surround them.
I sincerely hope to have you again as my guests. Bye
Aimee was very easy to deal / communicate with. She left the studio clean and tidy. I would definately recommend her as a guest.

In search of some engrossing summer reads for your second grader? Look no further. We've combed the shelves for this list of brand new titles that will exhilarate, fascinate and, yes... educate.
Our 2012 Summer Reading List
The Unforgotten Coat, by Frank Cottrell Boyce. This is a sweet and intriguing story about a mysterious pair of brothers from Mongolia, Chingis and Nergui, who appear out of nowhere for the sixth grade summer term. Our narrator Julie and the rest of her class are fascinated by the odd boys who always wear heavy fur coats and are in constant fear of a demon who is trying to make them vanish. After finding a stack of polaroids taken that summer, grown-up Julie reminisces about her magical days with the brothers, being their "good guide" and attempting to help them ward off a relentless, invisible demon. (Candlewick, $11.67)
Library Dragon, by Carmen Agra Deedy. Sunrise Elementary has landed a new librarian, and that's not necessarily a good thing. Miss Lotta Scales, a dragon with a "burning love of books," has taken fiery guard over the collection. After many harrowing encounters, would-be readers begin to avoid the library altogether. Enter Molly, the nearsighted heroine, who charms and disarms the volatile librarian with the simple act of reading aloud. The plot of the book is accessible for younger readers, but the dry humor and fire-related puns make it challenging and appealing for older kids. The illustrations include subtle details and jokes, making this a very clever and engaging read. (Peachtree, $12.37)
Forget-Me-Nots: Poems to Learn by Heart, by Mary Ann Hoberman, Illustrated by Michael Emberley. Frost, Milne, Sandburg, Stevenson, Tolkien...Think your child is too young for these poets? Think again. In this wonderful anthology of poems from classic and contemporary authors, former children's poet laureate Mary Ann Hoberman presents poems that are accessible and downright fun to read aloud. Hoberman encourages children to learn their favorite poems by heart with tricks and tips for memorization, and Emberely's quirky illustrations fuel the imagination.(Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, $11.88)
Goofballs #2: The Startling Story of the Stolen Statue, by Tony Abbott, Illustrated by Colleen Madden. Meet Goofballs and best friends: Jeff, Brian, Kelly and Mara.

Look for book three in fall of 2012! (Egmont, $11.89)
Our 2011 Summer Reading List
Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer by Meg McDonald. If you don't know Judy Moody, you'll certainly know her by summer, when she's splashed across movie screens nationwide. So, quick! Before Hollywood shares Judy Moody with your kids, get them the books, and top it off with this final installment. This beginning chapter book series boasts what few others in the aisle can claim: a smart, funny, and enthusiastic heroine that's just as appealing to parents as she is to kids. Don't be surprised if your kid is so buried in these chapters that she bangs into furniture as she makes her way across the room. A delicious addiction! (Candlewick, $5.99)
Queen of the Falls by Chris Van Allsburg. Some things just can't be made up: like the fact that the first successful tumble over Niagara Falls happened in the autumn of 1901 and was carried out by a retired charm school teacher. But why and how did this 62-year-old teacher risk it? Photograph-like illustrations leading up to this historic event fill the pages of this tasty treat from Chris Van Allsburg, author and illustrator of such beloved children's books as The Polar Express and Jumanji. It's an interesting look at what fame can do, and what the search for it has inspired people to try. (Houghton Mifflin Books for Children, $12.91)
Summer According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney. Summer might be exciting for most, but for Humphrey, the classroom hamster, it's a scary proposition: all the kids leave. But fate has something in store for this feisty and high-strung hamster... camp! This irresistible narrative, told from a hamster's point of view, is a slam dunk for summer. Funny, silly, and just the right tone and pace for carefree days, the text is rich enough for fluent readers, but sweet as a summer smoothie. (Penguin, $5.99)
Clara Lee and the Apple Pie Dream, by Jenny Han with pictures by Julia Kuo. Call her Clara Lee instead of just Clara, like everybody does. "It just sounds better that way. Like peanut butter and jelly, like trick-or-treat... those words just go together." Clara Lee is a big sister, a granddaughter, she's full of imaginative and bright similes, and she has a dream. She'll tell you about it. Along the way of trying to turn her dream into reality, Clara Lee learns lessons that help her be a better friend and person. With a charming heroine and cheerful pencil illustrations, this book makes the jump from picture books to chapter books short and sweet. (Little, Brown Books, $11.24)
Ragweed by Avi, illustrated by Brian Floca. This prequel to The Poppy Stories is jam-packed with adventure, and a pure delight for advanced second grade readers. Our hero, a country mouse who sets off for life in the city, finds himself leading a mouse-rising against two very scary cats. Full of excitement, as well as a liberal usage of the word "dude", this book manages to sneak in some pretty advanced vocabulary, while feeding kids plenty of words in their comfort zone. A great start to a crackerjack series that's perfect for summer. (HarperCollins, $5.99)
Our 2010 Second Grade Summer Reading Picks
Magical Ms. Plum by Bonnie Becker. When a new crop of students enters Ms. Plum's classroom in September, they're not quite prepared for her unconventional way of teaching, or the fact that when students agree to fetch an eraser or a pen from her supply closet, they invariably come back with a miniature animal perfectly tailored to their personalities. Whether it's a cat to purr a worrier's cares away, or a parrot to show a know-it-all what it feels like to be constantly interrupted, the creatures from the closet nudge Ms. Plum's students to play nice, be patient, look closely, and learn more of life's other lessons. So is it Ms. Plum who's magic, or the closet itself? Readers not quite ready for novels, or those who love listening to a tale read aloud, will love ambling through this chapter book to find out. (Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers, $12.99)
Comet in Moominland by Tove Jansson. Images of stars with tails keep showing up in the most unlikely places: in the sand, in the sky, even in a pattern of shells. Moomintroll and his friend Sniff decide they need to figure out what's going on., and so begins an unpredictable adventure brimming with muskrat philosophers, trouser-munching crocodiles, silk monkeys, and Snufkins. Few Americans have heard of author Tove Jansson, but in Finland, she's a national hero and her books are as beloved as Winnie the Pooh or Alice in Wonderland. This grand adventure, full of unexpected twists, brings her work stateside, and not a moment too soon. Full of whimsical illustrations, delightful characters, and just plain wonderful writing, this is a book for every child's library. (Farrar Straus Giroux, $7.99)
Lunch Lady by Jarrett J. Krosoczka. Whether she's fighting off swamp monsters with the help of underwater blender breathing apparatus, or using sonic-boom juice boxes to fend off a league of librarians attempting world domination, Lunch Lady is the perfect mix of spunk and sweetness to get the job done right. The unlikely heroine of this hilarious series of graphic novels flips burgers by day, but fights crime by night! Filled with fun, comic-style illustrations, and especially well-suited for reluctant readers, these books are presented in no particular order, so kids can start with whichever title strikes their fancy. (Random House, $5.99)
The Cricket in Times Square by George Selden. Full of excitement, but never scary, this tale of a virtuoso cricket and his cat and mouse companions is like an unexpected hug: warm, comforting, and the stuff of childhood memories. This grand adventure won a Newbery Honor, but that was way back in the 1960's, so we'll forgive you if you've never heard of it. That said, if this book is new to you, run (don't walk) to snag a copy. A fantastic read-aloud for kids up and down the age spectrum, this story of a street-smart city mouse and the country bumpkin cricket who arrives accidentally in the Times Square subway station is pure magic. (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $6.99)
Scream Street: Fang of the Vampire by Tommy Donbavand. You can't always judge a book by its cover...or its title: this may look too scary for your second grader, but it is decidedly more exciting than scary. Luke has developed a bad habit of turning into a werewolf, that's why his family was sent by the government to live on Scream Street, a housing project for vampires, witches, zombies, and ghosts. He's making some cool friends, but his parents are terrified. Trying to get them home turns about to be a heap of trouble; to find the exit he must collect six powerful relics while being hunted down by an evil landlord. It's a good thing his ghoulish friends come out to help his cause. With colorful characters and a strong message about the power of friendship, this is a great book for summer reading. Stay tuned for other books in this fantastic new series. (Candlewick, $5.99)
The Sisters 8: Marcia's Madness by Lauren Baratz-Logsted. Featuring talking cats, special powers, and a healthy dose of humor that's even witty enough for parents to enjoy, this suspenseful mystery is sure to get a thumbs-up from fans of Lemony Snickett. The heroes? Eight sisters whose parents have gone missing, and who are bound and determined to get them back. This book is the fifth in the series, so kids may wish to start from the beginning, but there's enough of a re-cap to catch readers up. And because this series is written by a family of authors, including an eight year-old, expect super kid-friendly dialogue. Bizarre and intriguing, yet still lighthearted, this book will leave your thrill-seeking reader begging for the next adventure! (Houghton Mifflin, $4.99)

Wheeling Motel
In his tenth collection of poetry, Franz Wright gives us an exquisite book of reconciliation with the past and acceptance of what may come in the future.
From his earliest years, he writes in "Will," he had "the gift of impermanence / so I would be ready, / accompanied / by a rage to prove them wrong / . . . and that I too was worthy of love." This rage comes coupled with the poet's own brand of love, what he calls "one / strange alone / heart's wish / to help all / hearts." Poetry is indeed Wright's help, and he delivers it to us with a wry sense of the daily in America: in his wonderfully local relationship to God (whom he encounters along with a catfish in the emerald shallows of Walden Pond); in the little West Virginia motel of the title poem, on the banks of the great Ohio River, where "Tammy Wynette's on the marquee" and he is visited by the figure of Walt Whitman, "examining the tear on a dead face."
Here, in Wheeling Motel, Wright's poetry continues to surprise us with its frank appraisal of our soul, and with his own combustible loneliness and unstoppable joy.
About the Author
Franz Wright's recent works include Earlier Poems, God's Silence, and The Beforelife (a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize). In 2004 his Walking to Martha's Vineyard received the Pulitzer Prize. He has been the recipient of two National Endowment for the Arts grants, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Whiting Fellowship, and the PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry, among other honors. He currently lives in Waltham, Massachusetts, with his wife, the translator and writer Elizabeth Oehlkers Wright.
Praise for Wheeling Motel…
"These new poems refract the light of the poet's insightful, humorous, and often humble gaze in ways that are surprising and rewarding." —America
"Uningratiating, bumptiously witty . . . and routinely surprising." —The New York Times Book Review

I bought this and the small stippling brush. I had never had a stippling brush and fell in love. If this is a bad stippling brush, the good ones must be out of this world! It blends foundation evenly onto my face and it makes it look like I'm not wearing any foundation. AMAZING

Sheds like a cat, before even being used. I washed it and it did a little better.
I loved the finish when using liquid foundation.
This brand it cool when you just want to test the water before jumping into the deep (more expensive).

I really like this brush very even coverage with a liquid foundation but my cream foundation was too think and the brush wouldn't pick any product up. Going to try the smaller one to see if the bristles are stronger.

Best brush available in stores for the price IMHO. I have been using this with a new powder blush and it blends perfectly. I only need to use a small amount of product to get a nice amount of fresh color on my cheeks. This brush is so soft, too, compared to other inexpensive brushes. It feels like velvet on the skin. I will purchase at least one more of these to use with loose powder. I already own the yellow bristled brush that I use for creme blush or foundation. I am amazed at how reasonably priced and high quality e.l.f. products are across the board. LOVE!

I don't think this is the best stippling brush out there. I can't use it to stipple my foundation on. It's bristles are too far apart and it isn't really dense. I'll use it to buff out my foundation and it blends well. Okay product.

So I already have a stippling brush that I've been using but E.L.F. was having this sale, or rather a promo deal where you get 10 brushes for free, so I thought why not get another back up since I'm a fan of using my other one for my foundation. When I got it I was a bit surprised as to how much smaller it was compared to my other one, but it was so soft and I was curious as to how it would compare. And oh my gosh. I LOVE this brush! I've tried countless was to apply my liquid foundation - paddle foundation brush, sponge, fingers, flat top brush and a stipple brush and there's something different about this brush compared to my other big one. It's so light and easy to use. I love their flat top power brush to apply foundation during winter, but this brush gives me a light airbrushed look. I tap on my liquid foundation around my face, then go in with this brush and stipple the foundation around and then blend it in using this brush also and it gives me a light, flawless look. It's so little and light it gets into any awkward parts of my face like by my nose and under my eyes and is so easy to use without over doing it so it looks cakey. I will definitely buy this again and continue to use it everyday!

I love this for blush. It allows you to have more control over how much blush you want on, because it doesn't deposit a lot of colour on the face as it is not too dense. It's very soft and blends the product nicely! It could work for foundation, but I prefer denser brushes for that.

I actually considered buying a second spare one because it was just so good. I used a normal foundation brush before but I'm never coming back to that again because this brush is just amazing. It feels just like the MAC stippling brush and it works so wonderful and makes you look so flawless. (And it's SO cheap!)

love this brush! I apply my revlon colorstay foundation with this. I stipple it all over my face then use the studio kabuki face brush to blend it in - soo perfect! And they're both so cheap (this one was only $3)! Even if you already have a stipple brush you like, this is so cheap you should just get it to have as a backup!

text: It was absolutely pouring out when we arrived at the Boardwalk. Since Fantasmic! was cancelled, we had originally arrived about 25ish minutes early for our ADR. We had no intention of being seated early, we just wanted to check in and get OUT of the rain. When I stopped at the podium, we were told there was absolutely no way we could check in until 15 minutes before our ADR time and when we went to grab a seat the hostess basically told us we couldn't wait there until it was time to check in. To say I was beyond annoyed was a bit of an understatement. C'mon lady, its pouring rain outside! Thankfully, once we were finally permitted to check-in, Joanna was our server and she was absolutely lovely! I was a little worried, since our server's name earlier that day was JoAnn, I was hoping we wouldn't have a repeat and we definitely did not. She was so bright and bubbly and answered all of our questions and made some great suggestions for us. I definitely wanted the same cocktail I had here on my last trip, so we ordered up two of these babies... These are the perfect blend of tart and sweet and they go down wayyyyyyyyy to easy. They don't taste strong, but definitely pack a punch, so beware. For apps, Megan decided to go with this... Crispy Maine Coast Jonah Crab Cake - Savory Vegetable Slaw, Roasted Red Pepper Coulis, and Ancho Chile Rémoulade $17.00 I was in a sampling mood, so I went with this... Signature Flying Fish Cafe Appetizer Duo Highlight Item - Crispy Maine Coast Jonah Crab Cake and Our Very Own Caesar Salad $16.00 The crab cakes were amazing. The portion size of my crab cake was not that much smaller than Megan's which was surprising since hers was more expensive. The Caesar salad was good, but it didn't actually knock my socks off. The parmesan crisp was a little difficult to eat honestly. As soon as you stabbed it with your fork, it became a bunch of crumbs. I had a really hard time deciding what I wanted here, which was surprising, since I'm all about the fish. I just wasn't feeling anything on the menu. Maybe it was my own poor attitude about the weather, compounded by the icy reception at the restaurant. Or perhaps it was the deserts we just scarfed down... At any rate, we ended up both getting the same thing... Oak-grilled Maine Sea Scallops - English pea, Pecorino, basil, and mascarpone-laced risotto di carnaroli with prosciutto di parma cracklins $36.00 (Ordered without the prosciutto) Sadly, our entrees ended up arriving before I had even finished taking a picture of our appetizers. They took them back to the kitchen, but when they reappeared, it was obvious that they had just set them under a heating lamp because the scallops were way overdone and the rice was mush. I was also really disappointed in the presentation of this, it just looked unappealing, which was shocking since our appetizers were beautifully presented. At this point, we were pretty over it, and just figured we would enjoy another dessert to compensate. Megan ordered... White Chocolate and Raspberry Creme Brulee - toasted almond biscotti with fresh raspberries $7.00 This was divine! The custard was thick and creamy, and was beautifully balanced with the raspberries. I had my eye on this... Trio of Concession Sweets: On the Boardwalk - Popcorn Mousse and Caramel Corn, Cherry-Limeade Popsicle, and S'Mores Whoopie Pie Lollipop $9.00 I loved this! I was a little concerned about the popcorn mousse, but it had a beautiful butter flavor and great texture. The homemade caramel corn put this over the top! The S'Mores whoopee pie was also excellent. It was a graham cracker whoopee, with marshmallow cream and chocolate. It was the perfect little bite. The only criticism I have is that the popsicle was super tart (and I like tart!) It was pretty overwhelming so I only managed a few tastes. Thank goodness our server was so wonderful, otherwise I'm not sure I would return. Our appetizers and desserts were certainly highlights, but the entrée was really unacceptable in my book. They should have re-made our entrées when they arrived out and it was clear we wouldn't be ready for them for awhile. I can't say I would never return in the future, but I might skip Flying Fish on our next trip which is a shame, as this was one of my favorite restaurants from last trip!

Seth Godin on his last book, Linchpin (I'm not affiliate), explain why you need to became a "Linchpin".
But, what's a Linchpin?
A linchpin, as Seth describes it, is somebody in an organization who is indispensable, who cannot be replaced—her role is just far too unique and valuable. And then he goes on to say, well, seriously folks, you need to be one of these people, you really do. To not be one is economic and career suicide.
And, can you become a Linchpin?
Following this "simple" recipe you can change your vision, your life
- Connect
- Be generous
- Make art
- Acknowledge the lizard
- Ship
- Fail
- Learn
Social media is either a time-wasting, wool-gathering, yak-shaving waste of effort or, perhaps, just maybe, it's a crack in the wall between you and the rest of the world. It's a choice… up to you.
The generosity economy rewards people who create and participate in circles of gifts. Not the direct I-gave-you-this-you-give-me-that giving and get of a traditional economy, but instead the tribal economy of individuals supporting one another.
Art isn't a painting or even a poem, it's something that any of us can do. If you interact with others, you have the platform to create something new—something that changes everything. I call that art.
And so, we acknowledge it. We stand up and we hear the voice of the lizard brain and we recognize that it's there and then we walk to the podium and do the work. We acknowledge the lizard so we can ignore it.
If you can get something out the door while your competitors cringe in fear, you win.
The reinvention of the marketplace demands that one have the ability to fail, often and with grace—and in public!
The opportunity of our time is to discard what you think you know and instead learn what you need to learn. Every single day.

Carl Landry leaning toward opting out with Warriors, agent says
Jun 21, 2013, 3:15 PM EDT
The head vs. heart decisions are the toughest.
Carl Landry's head says he will make more than $4 million on the open market and he can get the security of a multi-year deal if he opts out o the last year of his deal with Golden State.
His heart says he had the most fun of his career playing last season in Golden State and would like to return. Free agency could land him anywhere.
But he's leaning toward opting out, his agent told Kyle Bonagura at CSNBayArea.com.
"He's worth a lot more than the contract he has and the direction (we're moving) toward is him opting out," said his agent, Mark Bartelstein. "Things can change, but that's where it's leaning."
Landry averaged 10.8 points a game on 54 percent shooting with 6 rebounds a game off the bench for Golden State last season. He did it efficiently, with a PER of 17.4 (above the league average). Then with David Lee down in the playoffs his role grew and he responded with an even higher level of play (PER of 21.6).
If Landry opts out he could well still re-sign with Golden State, they want him back. As always, it's a question of money.
"The plan is we'll look at everything with Carl," Bartelstein said. "He loved playing for the Warriors. He called it 'the most fun he's ever had in the NBA' so we'll see look at everything."

Thanks for everything Carl flexxxxx welcome to the bay iggy!!!
- 4thquartermagic - Jun 21, 2013 at 3:41 PM
Iguodala does make sense for GS.
Defensive minded guy who hates taking shots. Perfect fit.
Hope it don't happen tho lol.
- anhdazman - Jun 22, 2013 at 2:59 AM
Why in the world would GSW want Iguodala? He just turned down a 1 year 15 million dollar contract from Denver. GSW will in no way shape or form pay even a 1/3 of that to sign Iguodala. GSW is at the salary cap limit already. Furthermore, Barnes is the starting SF. Rush will be wanting minutes coming back from his knee injury. Green will also have some SF minutes. When GSW goes with a Curry\Jack\Thompson lineup, Thompson is playing some SF.
So absolutely no to that scenario.
BTW, you want defense, Barnes in his 2nd year will probably be a better defender at the SF. Green has proven to be a solid SF defender in his rookie year so with a year's experience, he's just going to improve and get better.
Iguodala has started his decline, now it's a matter of what foolish team will be over paying for his service. He should be getting anything more than a 8-9 million a year contract at 3 or 4 years max.
- cfutch - Jun 21, 2013 at 4:54 PM
If we sign Iggy it will take away from the Development of Harrison Barnes. We need another Power forward
- saint1997 - Jun 21, 2013 at 6:58 PM
Ahh c'mon Carl stay! You, Rush and Landry made the best combo off the pine!!
- andiroid71 - Jun 21, 2013 at 8:20 PM
Man, if you can't make a decent living off $4 million when you get everything supplied for you. And stay on a team that is on the up and up, having fun while your at it. It just turns into greed.
- danielcp0303 - Jun 22, 2013 at 2:29 AM
Has nothing to do with making a "decent living". Most people would take the job that offered more money, especially when we're talking about millions more. Also, there are these things called taxes. Just because his salary is 4 million, doesn't mean he's seeing all of that. He's probably seeing less than half of that, considering more than half his games are played in California.
- anhdazman - Jun 22, 2013 at 3:04 AM
Would really like to keep Landry, but with the salary cap limitation for GSW and being unable to move Jefferson or Biedrins, it's highly unlikely that GSW will be able to keep him.
Once again, Lee will be GSW only post up scoring option. GSW will be losing a very effective low post scorer and an experienced veteran coming off the bench.
That means Barnes and Green will be playing some PF minutes. Jefferson will also have some minutes at the PF spot.
I think realistically, there's less than a 20% chance of Landry resigning. He could probably get a multi year deal averaging 5-6 million a year. At least a 3-4 year deal.

Bako National Park
Bako National Park is the oldest national park in Sarawak (established back in 1957) and is located at the tip of the Muara Tebas peninsula, which is at the mouth of the Bako and Kuching Rivers, about 25km NE of Kuching. It is characterised by steep coastal cliffs and rocky headlands punctuated by sandy bays. The result of millions of years of erosion has carved fantastic rock formations, sea arches and sea stacks which are coloured with iron deposits.
Covering an area of only 27 square kilometres, Bako is the smallest of Sarawak's national parks. Yet even with its diminutive size, it harbours a myriad variety of wildlife. There are 16 walking trails, all colour coded for easy identification that allow visitors a truly wonderful experience as they explore Bako.
There are seven complete ecosystems which include beach flora, cliff vegetation, heath or kerangas forest, mangrove forest, mixed dipterocarp forest, grassland vegetation and peat swamp. Among the flora in Bako includes many species of carnivorous plants such as pitcher plants, sundews and bladderworts. There are many types of animals at Bako. Perhaps the most distinctive is the proboscis monkey (which I saw plenty of running away from the sea when the tide was coming in), endemic to Borneo. There are presently only about 150 of them in Bako. Other animals include long-tailed macaques, monitor lizards, Bornean bearded pigs, silvered langur, otters, lizards, snakes, flyer lemur, pangolin, mouse deer, bats, tarsier, slow loris, civet cats, and over 150 species of birds.
Take a look at my transportation tips about how to get here plus visit my Bako National Park page for more info below:

Semenggok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre
The highlight is the Orang Utan. They live within the forest reserve and was taught to survive by the park warden. Hence, they are considered semi-wild.
There are 2 feeding times, i.e. 9 am and 3 pm. The chances of spotting orang utan is most likely as they will be back for free meal.

Three Malayan villages are located on the northern shore of the river, to the east of Fort Margherita and I walked through the first of them known as Kampung Boyen. It was minor celebrity time again as children wanted to speak to the foreigner and adults wanted to know where I was from.

Hong San Si Temple
The Hokkien Chinese temple, Hong San Si, is located on Jalan Wayang between Jalan Carpenter and Jalan Pearl. It has buildings on both sides of Jalan Wayang. The Hong San Si temple dates back to around 1840 but was restored in 2003. There is an interesting legend about the host deity, Shen Ong Kong or Kong Teck Choon Ong (in Hokkien dialect) or or Guang Ze Zun Wan. They do a big celebration at this temple in April, with a long procession of floats, lion and dragon dancers, and other groups winding their way through town following the altar of the host deity.

Heroes' or Warriors' Monument
In the botanical garden (more like a park) that is part of the Sarawak Museum Complex there is a monument to commemorate Sarawak heroes and warriors, namely Datuk Patinggi Ali, Sherip Mashor, Rentap, Rosli Dhobi, Sawing and Liu Shan Bang. They are represented on the bronze plaques at the base of the monument, which was dedicated on 29 Nov 1990.

Kuching Botanical Garden
In the park south of the Sarawak Museum's "Old Building," is a beautiful, well-groomed botanical garden with trees, flowers, fountains, gazebos and paths. The Aquarium and Heroes' Monument are located in this park. I understand that it is well lit and a nice place to go in the evening as well; however, the garden was once the old burial ground of the Chinese community in Kuching and who knows what comes out at night.

Old Kuching Wet Market
The old Kuching Wet Market is at the west end of the Waterfront across the Sarawak River from Astana. It is not in use anymore (March 2009) but I do not know why. There was trash everywhere (unusual for Kuching) and even part of the roof was missing. It is in a great location on Main Bazaar. I bet there is something planned for that land.

Jalan India and Japanese Building
Jalan India used to be the main shopping area of Kuching. It is the extension of Jalan Carpenter to the northwest. They are now separated by the Japanese Building, which was built during the Japanese occupation in 1940 and is now part of the Courthouse Complex. You may walk through the Little Lebanon Restaurant to get to the Jalan India shophouses.

The Kuching Aquarium is located in a small open-air building behind the Sarawak Museum "Old Building." There are several fish tanks with various species, some water bird displays, and a large cayman crocodile in a cage. Note that there are public tandas (toilets) at the aquarium. Admission is free.

Semenggoh Wildlife Centre
The Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, located within the boundaries of the Semenggoh Nature Reserve, was set up in 1975... The Semenggoh Forest Reserve has been an important site for Sarawak Forest Department experimental studies and houses an arboretum, a wildlife rehabilitation centre, a botanical research centre, trial plantation and experimental plots, forest nursery and the former Forest School...
The Semenggoh Wildlife Centre carries out a successful orang utan rehabilitation programme as well as conservation of other endangered wildlife... It is also a centre for the study of orang utan biology and behaviour besides providing a safe haven for semi-wild orang utan which have undergone the rehabilitation programme... Today there are 25 orang utans in the Semenggoh reserve, including 14 who were born there...
It is located about 20km south of Kuching city... It can be reached by public bus which takes about 30mins to the Forestry Department Botanical Research Centre and a further 30mins walk thru the forest to the Semenggoh Wildlife Centre...
The best time to visit Semenggoh Wildlife Centre is during feeding time from 9.00am to 10.00am and from 3.00pm to 3.30pm when there is a good chance of seeing semi-wild orang utan returning to the centre for food... The centre is opened daily from 8.00am to 4.00pm with a break from 12.30pm to 2.00pm (11.30am to 2.00pm for Fridays)...

Only rivers with a fan-shaped shallow mouth will experience this natural phenomenon every month, depending on the tidal calendar... There are only 56 river sites that experience the monthly tidal bore phenomenon and two of these rivers are in Sarawak ~ the Batang Sadong and Batang Lupar (batang is the local Sarawak dialect for river) in Sri Aman...
The world's other tidal bore rivers are Huang Ho River in China, the Amazon and some rivers in Indonesia...
Depending on the tide, the tidal bore, locally known as benak, can reach a height of three metres and will last for about 10 minutes... It will be quite an experience for the first-timer to watch the benak in the evening... It comes all of a sudden with a loud roar, followed by the sight of white crescent waves rolling in the dark at the point where the river flows out to the sea... The sight raises a spooky, spectacular feeling... And in a matter of minutes, the series of tidal waves are gone...
Bako National Park
The Bako National Park is the oldest national park in Malaysia... Gazetted as a protected area in 1957, it has almost every type of vegetation that is found in Borneo... Covering some 2,727 hectares at the tip of the Muara Tebas peninsula, Bako has seven complete eco-systems such as beach vegetation, cliff vegetation, kerangas of health forest, mangroive forest, mixed dipterocarp forest, padang or grass;ands and peat swamp forest... bako is also home to 5 species of primates viz the rare proboscis monkey, lon-tailed macaque, silver leaf langur, the slow loris and tarsier... Other interesting animals that can be seen are monitor lizards, plantian squirrels, bearded wild pigs, flying lemurs, civet cats and at least 6 species of bats...
Accommodation at the park includes chalets, lodges, hostels and campsites... Other facilities include the Kerangas Cafe, a barbeque area, 24-hour electricity supply and treated water supply...
Bako is managed by the Sarawak Forest Department... All visitors to Bako must obtain an entry permits, register at the park office and pay a nominal entry fee... These can be done at the Kampung Bako jetty... The Petra Jaya Bus (No. 6) takes 40mins from Kuching to Kampung Bako... The earliest bus leaves Kuching at 6am and the last bus leaves Kampung Bako at 5pm daily... Visitors then board chartered boats (at RM16 return) to continue their journey to the park...
