Light gray grout recommendations
I want a very light gray grout for my Arctic White tub/shower surround. Ideally no blue or tan cast. Just gray. I don't want a mass of white, but I don't want grout lines to be super-prominent.
My tile guys do NOT custom mix so that's not an option.
Two choices seem possibilities:
Laticrete Silver Shadow
Polyblend Platinum
What do you think?
Thanks guys. I actually think I have Platinum for my kitchen backsplash which is a creamy white. It does have a slightly blue/mauve cast to it. In fact, it's always been slightly irritating to me, but not something I focus on unduly.
Hmmm, now I'm thinking maybe Laticrete Smoke Gray might be less blue. It's slightly darker, but a warmer gray. My floor tile loves all the grout colors.
Oaktown, I need to choose by tomorrow. They left their sample kits with me. Having said the Platinum irritates me in the kitchen, I think I was exaggerating a bit. I sometimes pick up a whiff of mauve but I think it's a little more accentuated next to the creamy (i.e., a little yellow-y) tile.
Finally the tile guy is gone for the day. It doesn't matter how the grout looks in the kitchen, since it's going in the bathroom! I do see a little blue in the Silver Shadow. Coming down the homestretch, Smoke Gray is in the lead.
Oh jeez, Oaktown, talk about vacillating.
I'm going with Smoke Gray too. I *really* wanted the lightness of Silver Shadow, but I could not unsee the blue cast. I was afraid someone would say, "So, blue grout?" Smoke Gray is a tad darker than I wanted, but it's a warm gray. Mine goes in tomorrow too. Here's looking at you, kid.
The floor was easy. Since it's a melange of many grays, all the gray grouts look good with it. I'm using Delorean Gray. Hopefully the floor tile goes in tomorrow.
Oaktown, so this is a new build for you? I am so happy to have no workers in my house for a few days, even the affable Miguel. On the other hand, I'm glad I was around to answer little questions like, here or there? this way or that? etc. I try to stay out of their way and not interfere or hover, but I would rather err on the side of being too involved rather than, OMG why didn't you tell me you were going to do that?!!!
The agony of picking a grout color. This one's fine, no blue.
Zephyr (spot on nose) and his twin sister Bessie are kinda tuxedos. I think they're more like Holstein cattle.
Linelle - Your tile & grout look GREAT (now I wish I did subway in my bathroom), and your kitties are SO cute! Holsteins, very funny.
My tile guy also would not mix grout, to get the color I wanted... I don't get it. If I ever tile myself, I am mixing grout - just because I can! :-)
mdln, my original plan was to do 4x4 tiles in a plain stacked pattern in light gray, the SAME tile I was taking out. My BD thought I was nuts. I finally found the original tile but there wasn't any trim available. I swore I wasn't going to do subways, but oh well. Call it overdone and a trend that has peaked, nobody I know has a subway tile anywhere in their house.
When I asked my tile guy's supervisor about mixing grout colors, it sounded like it was simply company policy. He was nice about it and I didn't push it. I'm sure it's fraught with problems if the homeowner doesn't like the mix, since you don't get a little plastic stick to look at and you can't tell from wet grout what it will ultimately look like. I'm like you, if I ever tile myself (and that would be the day), I would mix and do sample boards. For now, I'm fine with the good job my guy did. I even got a thumbs up over at John Bridge.

Video: 'RoboCop' throws 1st pitch at Detroit Tigers game
RoboCop threw out the first pitch at Comerica Park on Tuesday evening as the Tigers hosted the Toronto Blue Jays
Associated Press
DETROIT — Everybody's favorite fictional crime-fighting cyborg has made an appearance at a Detroit Tigers game.
RoboCop threw out the first pitch at Comerica Park on Tuesday evening as the Tigers hosted the Toronto Blue Jays. An announcement said RoboCop's motorcycle was on display at the stadium and the first 10,000 fans were getting a RoboCop cheer card after getting inside.
It's part of "RoboCop Day" in honor of the DVD release of this year's "RoboCop" remake.
An announcement was to be made Tuesday about a RoboCop statue that's expected to be installed in Detroit this year, but that event and a police meet-and-greet were cancelled.
A movement for the statue started in 2011 after a social networking campaign.
The 1980s science fiction movie was set in a futuristic and crime-ridden Detroit.

After their meeting, Pavlopoulos affirmed Greek support for a peace settlement. He said that although Athens supported UN talks to reunite the island, Nicosia had rightly halted negotiations following Ankara's violation of the island's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in October last year.
Addressing the Cypriot Parliament, Pavlopoulos noted that Cyprus' Exclusive Economic Zone is an area protected by European law; any violation of this area is also "a violation of the European Union and European law."
It aims to address important questions concerning the Greek economy and will present the initiatives needed to exploit its capacity. The Forum invites members of the government, senior business executives, investors, academic experts, as well as members of Business Associations and Chambers of Commerce to identify growth prospects in Greece. The event is held by the Greek Listed Companies Association and the Hellenic Institute of Entrepreneurship (I.E.A).
See also: 2014 Forbes Global 2000. The Annual list of the world's 2000 largest publicly listed corporations- The case of Greece.
Alexander Onassis Entrepreneurship Day on the premises of its Cultural Centre. The event introduces for the first time in Greece the process of scaling up a start up, which translates into steps towards sustainable development.
Top business people from across the spectrum of Greek entrepreneurship will address the public, focusing on issues such as how to inspire, support and finance successful business projects. In addition to lectures, the event includes sixteen workshops which will offer the opportunity to elaborate on matters such as communications, costs reduction, and business planning. The Scholars Association of the Onassis Foundation which is the host of the event, was founded in 1986 as an initiative on behalf of the first scholars of the Onassis Foundation. It now counts more than 1,800 scholars, both Greeks and non-Greeks.
Greek News Agenda: 2014 Disrupt, Start Up, Scale Up
The book follows the life of Ioannis Mariambas, an unconventional civil servant, whose eccentric manners shock the conservative society of Halkida.
The Birmingham Series also includes many representative works of Modern Greek fiction, like Elias Maglinis' Interrogation (Trans. Patricia Felisa Barbeito), Haris Vlavianos' Adieu and Kostas Karyotakis' Battered Guitars: Poems and Prose by William W. Reader & Keith Taylor.
The 17th Athens Xclusive Designers Week (AXDW) is the official trade show of the Greek fashion industry, and it is held twice a year. Its goal is to promote Greek fashion in Greece and abroad. Designers like Eleni Kyriacou, Makis Tselios, Kathy Heyndels, Athina Korda, Topshop by Sotris and many more participated in this latest edition.
As every year, the New Designers Awards is one of the most popular events of the Fashion Week. Best New Designer award was bestowed to Dimitris Ordoulidis; MK by Marios was awarded the Best Trend Setter award and Tryfonas Modestou, was selected as Best Catwalk.

No Doubt and Rise Against's Twitter accounts hacked by Ron Paul supporters
Bands hit back over messages endorsing the Republican presidential candidate
Both bands found tweets on their accounts endorsing the libertarian politician, with the former stating on Twitter.com/nodoubt:
Today we officially endorse Ron Paul 2012 donate to him here http://bit.ly/yDrrFI #ronpaulrevolution.
This was followed up by: "If you actually read what Ron Paul is saying, you will discover that for the first time in your life a politician is not lying to you."
Similar tweets appeared on Rise Against's account. But both acts were quick to pull the messages of support down and set the record straight.
Rise Against hit back on their account Twitter.com/riseagainst tweeting: "We were hacked. As you would all assume, we DO NOT support Ron Paul," while No Doubt' wrote: "Our Twitter account was hacked last night. No political endorsements at this time. Love, No Doubt."
Former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger also found her account defaced by the same group of Ron Paul supporters.
Meanwhile, No Doubt recently confirmed that their long awaited follow-up album to 2001's 'Rock Steady' is likely to be released this year.

Simple promise-based script loader for modern browsers
Promise Script
A simple JavaScript and CSS loader built using Promises.
npm install --save promisescript
var promisescript = require'promisescript'; return promisescript url: '//www.google.com/recaptcha/api/js/recaptcha_ajax.js' type: 'script' exposed: 'Recaptcha' then return Recaptchacreate'0123456789abcdef' 'recaptcha_widget' theme: 'clean' callback: resolve ; ; ; loadRecaptchathen console.logRecaptchaget_challenge;catch console.error'An error loading or executing Recaptcha has occured: ' emessage;;
Source Object
A source object is fully specified when it contains three properties:
url, the URL that should be fetched
type, either "script" or "style", which defines the type of the URL being fetched.
exposed, a string that is checked against the global object to determine if the script successfully loaded. A deeply nested property can be checked by providing a dot-separated string. This property is not required, but required to check if a script loaded successfully in Internet Explorer, as this browser does not have an error event.
A Single Source Object
This module accepts a single source object, and returns a single Promise that resolve if successfully loaded, or rejected if it fails.
Multiple Source Objects
Additionally this module can accept multiple source objects as an array. An array of Promises is returned, in the same order as provided.
If you're feeling lazy, and don't care about Internet Explorer support, you can provide a string or an array of strings that represents script or style URLs. When utilizing this functionality, this module assumes URLs representing styles end in ".css", and all others are assumed to be scripts.
Clearing Cache
To avoid fetching the same URL multiple times, the Promise is cached, which is fine behavior most use cases.
However, this cache can be cleared by calling
- If you make multiple requests to the same URL, it will only be fetched once and the same Promise will be returned.
- The Promises returned by this module meet the ES6 standard, and are thus barebones; you may wish to coerce it into a Promise of your favorite library.

In the United States, a collection of methods have historically been used to develop estimates of the population for comparison with decennial census counts. These estimates are developed from various types of demographic data in order to build a historical accounting of population change. The term Demographic Analysis (DA) has been used to refer to this approach for assessing the quality of the census. For the 2010 Census, the U.S. Census Bureau is again using the DA estimates along with results from operational indicators and a post-enumeration survey to assess the quality of the decennial census.
In past decades, the Census Bureau has produced the DA estimates at the national level for single-year birth cohorts by sex and two broad race categories, Black and non-Black. Reflecting the contributions of many demographers, two distinct methodologies have evolved over time for separately estimating the population under 65 years of age and the population 65 years and over. Administrative records on births, deaths, and estimates of international migration are used to estimate the population under 65. Estimates of the population 65 and over are developed from data on Medicare enrollment and estimates of the number of those not enrolled. The DA estimates have been limited to the national level and the Black and non-Black race categories because of the limitations of the available historical data.
This paper describes the development of the 2010 DA population estimates. In order to show the sensitivity of the DA estimates to the use of different but plausible input values, alternative estimates for each component of the DA methodology were developed. Specific combinations of alternative inputs were then used to produce five series of DA estimates by single year of age, sex, and the DA race categories for use in the demographic analysis of the 2010 Census counts. The specific combinations of alternative estimates were selected to communicate the uncertainty around the DA estimates and include a low series, three middle series, and a high series. All series were considered to be plausible. These estimates were produced without knowledge of the 2010 Census results and will provide an essentially independent basis for assessing the accuracy of the 2010 Census counts.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Farshad Mohammadi | 17 Apr 2014 08:06 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, China, Iran, United States
Thirty-four years ago, former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini told Iranians not to worry about all the professionals fleeing the country. "Let these educated people who constantly talk of science and Western civilisation leave," he declared. "These hypocrites say there is a brain drain. Let them go. We don't need this kind of Western science and civilisation."
That was a prologue to Iran's Cultural Revolution, which began in 1980 - when large numbers of Iran's educated elite left. The International Monetary Fund estimates that around 250,000 engineers and physicians, along with some 170,000 highly educated Iranians, are currently living in the United States.
But now, Iran's government under President Hassan Rouhani, who has been hailed as a moderate leader capable of implementing substantial change, is worried about "brain drain" and is trying to slow the trend.
Last November, Hassan Ghashghavi, Iran's deputy foreign minister in charge of consular affairs, announced that a committee has been formed to encourage the return of Iranians in the diaspora.
And in January 2014, Iran's science minister, Reza Faraji Dana, said that brain drain was one of the most damaging trends facing developing countries. "About 150,000 highly talented people emigrate from Iran every year, equalling an annual loss of $150bn to the economy," he claimed (although the World Bank estimate the amount to be $50bn).
Talk won't turn into action
Hazhir Rahmandad left Iran after winning an international award in chemistry in 2002 and is now a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Most of the students who leave Iran are seeking proper education in the most prestigious universities in the world," he told Al Jazeera. "They believe by moving abroad, they will have better access to facilities and opportunities on both an educational and career level."
Even if I was able to return to my country, I wouldn't.
- Foad Sojoodi Farimani, PhD candidate at Eindhoven University of Technology
Saeed Peivandi, a sociologist and professor at the University of Lorraine in France, lists four factors that cause the migration of skilled specialists from Iran: a lack of research facilities, low wages, social restrictions and an unstable political situation - all of which affect academics in the country.
He believes that as long as these factors exist in Iran, talk of stemming the brain drain won't turn into action.
Foad Sojoodi Farimani was a PhD student at Amirkabir University of Technology in Tehran. He registered two inventions, both related to robotic surgery, but was arrested in 2010 and sentenced to eight years in prison, for insulting Islam, "acting against national security" and insulting Ayatollahs Khomeini and Khamenei. He fled Iran in 2011 and is now a PhD candidate at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands.
"Even if I was able to return to my country, I wouldn't," he said. "The salary and benefits of research and education here are much better - normal budgets are hundreds of thousands of euros, while I remember that I was begging for a few hundred dollars for research in Iran." Farimani adds that in Iran, academia are not allocated suitable work environments: "They don't have access to free Internet, public spaces or free contemplation - while other countries don't even recognise Iranian patents."
The Chinese model
The previous Iranian administration often downplayed Iran's brain drain. Former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ignored the issue - while Kamran Daneshjou, the science minister during his administration, argued that fears of a brain drain were overblown. But some attempts were nonetheless made to persuade Iranian professionals to come back - in 2009, Sharif University of Technology invited all Iranian students with scholarships to the world's top universities to continue their education at the school without an entrance test.
The first problem is if these academic elites return to Iran they must join the military service for two years.
- Shirzad Abdollahi, education expert
Earlier this year, Dana recommended emulating the Chinese model for attracting professionals living abroad. "By offering talented people wages three to four times above the average level, China is convincing its people to return to the country," he said.
Peivandi, the sociologist, told Al Jazeera: "The countries which are successful in controlling the migration of [skilled professionals] experienced a democratic change - their political and economic situation changed, which made the process of migration slow or reverse. China is the only country where the economic and social aspects of its situation have improved without a change in its political aspect."
He said the Iranian government is interested in China's example because it offers a way to resolve the issue of brain drain without making political changes.
Iranian academics abroad have heard about the government's efforts to bring them back. "The new government has shown its obsession with this phenomenon and also has some plans which can be effective," said Rahmandad, who believes that providing better conditions and workplace facilities will encourage researchers to return to work at the country's universities.
'Inquisitorial' filters
But Shirzad Abdollahi, a Tehran-based expert on education systems, believes the government's proposed plan is "ambiguous and disappointing".
"The first problem is if these academic elites return to Iran, they must join the military service for two years," he told Al Jazeera. He added that university salaries are currently lower than the average rent for apartments in Tehran.
"Employment conditions in the government make these elites feel that, even if the country needs their profession, they would not meet the criteria defined by the government - which are not just academic but inquisitorial," he said, referring to requirements related to faith and political affiliation. "To be a faculty member, they must pass through several inquisitorial filters."
Even if it plans to copy the Chinese model, Iran's research budget is less than $1bn - compared to China's estimated $284bn in research spending for 2014. The big question remains: How will the Iranian government secure the funds to convince its talented people to return?

Kolkata artisans decorate makeshift temples, give final touches to idols ahead of Durga Puja
Kolkata, Oct.12 (ANI): A festive fever has gripped West Bengal, with artisans decorating makeshift temples and giving final touches to idols of the Hindu Goddess Durga ahead of the popular Durga Puja festival.
Agradut Uday Sangha's Durga Puja pandal in Bhawanipur in Kolkata is planning to make Swami Vivekananda's statutes with an aim to pay tribute to the Swami on his 150th birth anniversary.
The makeshift temple committee, which is in its 66th year of puja celebrations this year, has decided to decorate the temple with colourful buttons.
One of the members of the Agradut Uday Sangha's Durga Puja Committee, Soumen Burman, said artisans have used buttons to depict Hindu mythological characters on the walls of the makeshift temple.
"There is a saying by Swami Vivekananda that those who believe in victory, believe in God. So, based on this, we have showcased an act of rescue by showing Gautama Buddha sitting, a man shooting a bird with an arrow, and then, Gautama Buddha helping the injured bird. So, based upon this rescue work, we have made various designs on the walls," said Burman.
The committee's cultural secretary, Biswanath Bose, said paintings based on Swami Vivekananda's life would also be displayed.
"The work in our pandal (makeshift temple) is based on the relief work, which is made by button and many lotuses, which is made in fibre. We have also displayed Swami ji's life in our paintings which is made in clay in Krishnanagar," said Bose.
Preparations of idols and ornaments engage participation of workers on large scale and thus generate short-term employment opportunities.
Durga Puja is one of India's most famous festivals. Legend has it that "Asuras" or demons from the underworld invaded the heavens after a hundred year war with the gods.
The Hindu trinity of Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu created Goddess Durga, the most powerful of all gods and goddesses, to vanquish the demons, hence the term 'Durga Puja' which means worshipping the Goddess.
It is believed that the Goddess makes her annual visit to the world and the festivities are meant to welcome her.
On this occasion, homes are re-painted and decorated to 'receive' the goddess. Small idols of the goddess are also installed to worship her.
The festival culminates with the immersion of the 'Durga' idols into water bodies. (ANI)

Bhargavaology Learning Seminar First Talk – 12 Jan 2015
I am doing a learning seminar on 'Bhargavaology', which is the collection of techniques and results surrounding the recent work of Manjul Bhargava, a Fields Medalist in 2014. The introductory talk is scheduled on Monday, Jan 12 in MC 5413, from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM. The abstract is indicated below:
A cute problem that illustrates the power of integers
The following problem was introduced to me as a 'homework problem' for the child of a certain genius-level mathematician, which is likely apocryphal. Nevertheless, the problem itself is interesting.
Problem: Three farmers brought 10, 16, and 26 chickens to the market to sell. To avoid a price war, they agreed to sell each chicken for the same price. By midday, none of them had sold all of their chickens. They then agreed to lower their prices by the same amount in order to unload all of their chickens. By the end of the day, each farmer sold all of the chickens they brought to the market and each made 35 dollars. What is the difference of the morning price and the afternoon price?
This question seems like it does not provide enough information. Indeed it does not, if one fails to consider that certain quantities (namely the amount of chickens) are integers. To wit, let us establish the solution as follows.
Let respectively denote the number of chickens sold by farmer 1, 2, and 3 in the morning. Note that are necessarily integers. Let denote the price of a chicken in the morning, and denote the price of a chicken in the afternoon. Let . We then obtain the following equations:
Subtracting the third equation from the first and second and re-arranging, we obtain
Now the fact that are positive integers really come in handy. In particular, we must have are both integers. The first condition implies that the denominator of must be a power of 2, and the second implies that it must in fact be exactly 2. Now we write , where is a positive odd integer. Now we examine the equation
Note that since Farmer 1 did not sell all of his chickens in the morning, we must have
However, and , whence , and so is the only possibility. Thus, and . This shows that
With this information in hand, we go back to examine the equation
Substituting, we see that . So it would appear that .
But wait! We had only shown that the values of above satisfy two of the three required equations, so for due diligence we must examine the final equation
so indeed is an acceptable solution.
Note that the solution really required the fact that were positive integers and constrained in a specific way. Without these (seemingly unimportant) tidbits of information, the problem would be intractable.
An innocent linear algebra problem and an application of the probabilistic method
The following question was posed to me by a friend:
Suppose that is a symmetric matrix with non-negative trace, and is a symmetric matrix with negative trace. Prove that there exists a vector such that and
After fruitlessly trying to give an explicit construction and trying to work out an inductive argument, the hint provided by my friend proved to be ingenious: one should consider a probabilistic argument.
In the end, one can argue that the probabilistic method is not really needed as the argument used below is equivalent to a counting argument. Nevertheless, we give the following proof.
First, we may suppose that is diagonalized, as the matrix used to diagonalize when applied to gives , which remains a symmetric matrix with negative trace as trace is preserved under similarity. Now consider the random vector where the are independent Bernoulli random variables with mean zero and variance 1. It is immediate that for any such vector , we have
Now, we compute the expectation of . By the linearity of expectation and the fact that the 's are independent, we have
Hence there exists one particular vector for which $\textbf{x}' B (\textbf{x}')^T < 0$, and we are done.
As remarked earlier, this argument is equivalent to considering the set of vectors and adding all of them and concluding that at least one of them must give the desired result.
An interesting problem on a function in two variables
One of the starkest differences between dealing with differentiation of a multi-variable function and a single variable function is that there are now an infinite number of ways to take a limit, and it becomes much more difficult to show that the derivative exists at a point by checking that derivatives exist along all possible paths. With functions in two variables, for example, one can usually play around with and separately to try to get different values at a limit point. Recently I ran across a problem that I found striking.
Let be positive real numbers and let
Prove that if and that the limit does not exist if
I found this particularly interesting because it is not at all clear why the quantity should control the existence of the limit at . The proof, I thought, was quite clever.
In retrospect the case is easier, as we just have to exhibit a path for which the limit as approaches along the path is non-zero. Indeed, trivially we have for any positive values of , and so this suffices. Now we choose the path where . Then we have
and this limit is plainly if and if .
The other situation is much trickier. We will require two ad-hoc inequalities.
Now we have
and if then the right hand side tends to as , thus establishing our proposition.
along this path.
Upcoming TV series about Emperor Wu to be the most expensive TV series made in Chinese history
An upcoming series chronicling the life of China's only female emperor, Emperor Wu Zetian of the Zhou Dynasty (she was the only emperor of that dynasty, the emperor to come before and after her were all emperors of the more famous Tang Dynasty), is set to become the most expensive TV series ever made in China (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Empress_of_China). The TV series will star Chinese megastar Fan Bingbing, and is also produced by her company.
The story of Emperor Wu is one of the most famous in the history of China. She seemed to have done the impossible: she assailed the entrenched sexism and misogyny embedded in feudal China and ascended to the title of Emperor, making her both the nominal and actual leader of China. It is noted that only three women in Chinese history has wielded as much power, Wu Zetian being the second. The other two were Empress Lü Zhi of the Han Dynasty, wife of Emperor Gaozu, the founder of the Han Dynasty and Empress Dowager Cixi, the wife of Emperor Xianfeng and mother of Emperor Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty. However, the other two never managed to claim the title of Emperor for themselves, instead having to rule from 'behind the curtain'.
Much of China's history, understandably, is written by men and for men. It was noted earlier that in fact Chinese historians have a habit of writing towards a very specific audience: future rulers. Thus Chinese history is written as a warning to future emperors of the challenges they must conquer in order to hold onto power. The most deleterious of these challenges is undoubtedly guarding against the women you trust most. It is no surprise then that all of the above strong women who managed to climb to the peak of power were later demonized in the annals of Chinese history. Both Lü Zhi and Wu Zetian were 'renowned' for their immense cruelty. For instance, it was said that Lü Zhi turned Gaozu's favored concubine, Mistress Zhao, into a human 'stump' by cutting off her limbs and mutilating her face and then blinding her, but kept her alive. Wu Zetian was said to employ 'cruel ministers' to administer extraordinary acts of cruelty and torture against political opponents and ruled by a campaign of terror. Cixi is widely regarded by modern Chinese history as the principal architect of the Qing Empire's downfall, and the subsequent humiliation that the Chinese civilization suffered in the 20th century.
However, in more recent times, some familiar narratives of history have been challenged and re-imagined. One such case is that of the Qin Dynasty. Historically noted for their immense cruelty and extreme legal system and anti-Confucianism, the recent work 大秦帝国 has sought to re-tell the story of the rise of the Qin Empire, previously the Qin Kingdom in the Warring States Period, in a positive light. It sought boldly to re-imagine the Chinese civilization as having been born from a warrior nation (Qin), as opposed to a relatively meek and passive nation (context: after uniting China and establishing the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu and his successors Wendi and Jingdi sought a policy of appeasement and compromise against the barbarians to the north, which was finally reversed by Emperor Wudi, who ordered several major military campaigns against China's northern neighbors). The same has happened for the story of Wu Zetian, where more recent TV series have depicted her in a much more positive light, as a strong and wise leader far outweighing the weak Tang Emperors she replaced.
Underlying reasons for the unrest in Hong Kong
As some of you know, since earlier this year, there is civil unrest in Hong Kong centered around the so-called "Occupy Central" (referring to the Central Business district or 中环 in Chinese, not the Central Government of China, as several people I discussed this with mistakenly assumed) movement. The movement's aims are to fight for true universal suffrage in 2017. While the current proposal drafted and now approved by the National People's Congress offers universal suffrage to select the city's leader, the Chief Executive, it also stipulates that all candidates must be approved by a majority the 1200 member Election Committee which contains many Beijing supporters, effectively ensuring that only those loyal to Beijing will be allowed to run for the top office. This is deemed unacceptable by the so-called pan-democratic persons in Hong Kong. The main goal of Occupy Central is to remove this stipulation in the 2017 election and allow anyone who chooses to run to be deemed a candidate.
On the surface, this seems like the same story that has happened again and again throughout history. Even the organizers behind Occupy Central have compared their proposed campaign of civil disobedience to the likes of Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela, with the goal of opposing a tyrannical and oppressive regime and unfair treatment of people. This may very well be true, but there are other factors that run deep beneath the surface.
One has to understand that Hong Kong, aside from being a British colony for a hundred years and a place where the residents are used to a British style of government and way of life, it is also a prime destination for mainland refugees fleeing from various situations in China after the establishment of Communist China in 1949. Many of the refugees were members of the bourgeois or land owner classes, which were mercilessly persecuted by Communist China. Others escaped the famine caused by the Great Leap Forward and the fearful period of the Cultural Revolution. The point is, many of the people in Hong Kong have a deep grudge against the Communist Party of China, as their own families have suffered greatly at the hands of China's current rulers. They may not necessarily be pro-democracy, but they are definitely anti-Communist.
This is combined with a more delicate social history. Many of the people who fled to Hong Kong have found their way to a better way of life and prosperity after leaving their homes. There is a feeling of vindication, and definitely superiority, towards China. While the Mainland languished in the Cultural Revolution, Hong Kong boomed as a financial and economic hub. By the time China opened up its borders in 1978 under Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms, Hong Kong was already a modern and cosmopolitan city. It is not even a secret that Hong Kongers widely feel they are superior to mainlanders, deeming mainlanders uncouth and uncivilized. For a long time, economic reality reflected much the same. This changed, however, in the past decade, when China's unprecedented economic rise has placed it higher on the economic spectrum than Hong Kong. While Hong Kong enjoyed consistent economic growth since rejoining China in 1997, the growth rate is much slower than in the mainland. While in the late 90's and 2000's China's economy boomed at double digit growth rates, Hong Kong's economy grew at a relatively modest 4-5% range. This gap in growth rate has shifted economic realities. Now many mainlanders north of the border enjoy much more wealth and a higher standard of living than many middle class members of Hong Kong. However, the attitude of superiority of Hong Kongers towards mainlanders has not changed; and this has caused much resentment.
Further, the policy differences between Hong Kong and the mainland have exerted a lot of pressure on Hong Kong's social fabric. Since Hong Kong's laws are different than in the mainland, and usually much more transparent with a more or less independent judiciary, it is considered essentially a 'foreign' land in terms of investments. Thus many wealthy mainlanders see fit to invest in Hong Kong real estate, just as they would buy real estate in hot foreign markets like Vancouver or Australia, as a secure way to park their money. This has driven up prices in the most densely populated place in the world, dashing the dreams of home ownership for many middle class Hong Kongers. Undoubtedly this reality has caused significant resentment among Hong Kong's populace. Secondly, because Hong Kong citizens enjoy a special status in the context of the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong citizenship is deemed highly desirable. Many mainland pregnant women have essentially snuck past the border to give birth in Hong Kong, making their offspring Hong Kong citizens. This has caused undue stress on Hong Kong's hospitals to handle women going through labour, and have created resentment as well. Further, Hong Kong is a place where foreign products are widely available; and things like baby formula are highly desirable for mainland Chinese (context: about 6 years ago there was a so-called 'tainted milk' scandal in China where bad baby formula caused death and serious injury or mental impairment for over 40,000 babies, thus scaring people off domestic brands). This has created shortage in Hong Kong.
My point is, the current turmoil is not as simple as a bunch of freedom-minded people fighting for rights and freedoms. It is a continuation of a long history of mistrust and hatred towards China's ruling party, and continued economic tensions between the mainland and Hong Kong.

Joseph Warton
English critic and poet, eldest son of Thomas Warton (see below), was baptized at Dunsfold, Surrey, on the 22nd of April 1722, and entered Winchester school on the foundation in 1735. William Collins was already there, and the two formed a friendship which was maintained through their Oxford career. They read Milton and Spenser together, and wrote verses, which, published in the Gentleman's Magazine, attracted the attention of Dr Johnson. Warton went to Oriel College, Oxford, in 1740, and took his B.A. degree in 1744. He took holy orders, and during his father's lifetime acted as his curate at Basingstoke. He then went to Chelsea, London; but eventually returned to Basingstoke. He married, ... more »

Ode to Music
Queen of every moving measure, Sweetest source of purest pleasure, Music; why thy powers employ Only for the sons of joy?
Verses on a Butterfly
Fair Child of Sun and Summer! we behold With eager eyes thy wings bedropp'd with gold; The purple spots that o'er thy mantle spread, The sapphire's lively blue, the ruby's red,
The Enthusiast, or the Lover of Nature
Ye green-rob'd Dryads, oft' at dusky Eve By wondering Shepherds seen, to Forests brown, To unfrequented Meads, and pathless Wilds, Lead me from Gardens deckt with Art's vain Pomps.
Ode to Fancy
O parent of each lovely Muse, Thy spirit o'er my soul diffuse, O'er all my artless songs preside, My footsteps to thy temple guide.
Ode to a Lady on the Spring
Lo! Spring, array'd in primrose-colour'd robe, Fresh beauties sheds on each enliven'd scene, With show'rs and sunshine cheers the smiling globe, And mantles hill and vale in glowing green.

Queen of every moving measure,
Sweetest source of purest pleasure,

Only for the sons of joy?
Only for the smiling guests

Rather thy lenient numbers pour

Bid be still the throbbing hearts
Of those, whom death, or absence parts,
And, with some softly whisper'd air,
Smooth the brow of dumb despair.

Real Health Spending Continues Moderate Growth
The Bureau of Economic Analysis released its second estimate of 3rd quarter GDP and it confirms what was observed in the advanced estimate: Real growth in health spending is moderate.
Indeed, real GDP growth was revised upwards from 3.5 percent to 3.9 percent, but health spending was not really changed from the advanced estimate. In chained (2009) dollars, GDP grew by $153.7 billion in the 3rd quarter, but health care comprised only 8.6 billion of that growth (Table 3). If we go back before Obamacare kicked into high gear, the increase from the 3rd to 4th quarters in 2013 was $18.7 billion — more than twice as much, and both figures are seasonally adjusted.

I love this bronzer. I thought because of my dark skin that there would be no bronzer to make my face have a natural glow. But this is definately the one i was super!!! impressed and i will definately buy this product again!!

I never really "got" the point of using a bronzer. When I wear makeup, I don't want my skin looking lighter or darker, I just want my skin to look like it's natural color, but as smooth and flawless as possible. I never felt the need to use bronzer until I purchased a foundation that was a tad too pink for me. Because I couldn't return the foundation, I used my GWP Clinique Sunkissed bronzer on a whim to see if I could reverse the pink-face effect I got from my foundation. It worked. It gave me a slight sunkissed look and covered the pink from my foundation. My face looked completely natural. Though I'm still not a huge fan of bronzer, I must admit this bronzer is very good and does a great job at perking up dull skin.
For reference, I am NC20-25. I have also used Nars Laguna bronzer, but I find that Clinique Sunkissed looks more believable on my skintone.

I actually really loved this bronzer, it looked really natural on my fair skin, but just gave it a hint of colour. The Brush it also quite nice, though i don't use it. The one thing i didn't like was that it had shimmer in it.

I wasn't planning on buying a bronzer, yet I was buying my 'almost makeup' tinted moisturiser from Clinique when the bronzer caught my eye- the assistant put some on my face and I loved it, so I got it.
I wouldn't say its shimmery but does give your face the slightest sheen which looks really nice. the packaging is good, much easier to use than my Benefit Hoola bronzer, and the brush that comes with it is nice.
I have only worn it a few times but like it loads more than Hoola, and its a bit cheaper which is even better!

I have had this since last year and I have yet to hit pan! This is a great light bronzer. This doesn't make you look like you have bronzer on, in fact it looks "sunkissed" as the color is described. There is a slight bit of shimmer in the pan but on your face you don't see any of that. I am an NC 20-25 (for reference) and this works amazingly. For anyone that is fair or light skinned this would be great. I wouldn't use this to contour though. If your darker skinned there is another shade or two up from this and that would be much better for you ladies :). I use this with Clinique's large face brush which is super fluffy and awesome! The brush that comes with it is soft and works well with the product as well. I use this EVERYDAY-- this is definitley HG material for me! :)

Wonderful. As everyone has said, perfect for fair skin. This just gives you enough glow without the orange fakeness. I wear it alone as I don't like foundation/concealer on my skin. It looks great and I will continue to wear as long as Clinique makes it.

Oh. My. Goodness. I never thought I would find a bronzer this perfect! I was really wanting to find a good bronzer for fair skin and after reading reviews I decided to get it. The pink undertone prevents the "orange-ness" that I hate. The shimmer is just enough to where this still looks natural. I use a kabuki brush for this, rather than the one in the box.
EDIT: The plastic around the hinge broke, so I have to be very careful with the packaging now.

I usually don't splurge on department store cosmetics, but with my upcoming wedding I wanted to treat myself to some makeup splurges. This was definitely worth the splurge, although for $24.00 you get a huge pan of bronzer. The color is very natural, and I think perfect for light to medium skin tones. It blends really well, is oil free, and leaves your skin looking healthy and not "dirty" like some bronzers tend to do. Although I've gotten some great drug store buys in the past, I would repurchase this because the formula is great and the color is a perfect match. Highly recommended!!!

Love this product!! I think that it's definitely worth getting. I could basically cake my face in this stuff and it would still look good, lol! It goes on pretty subtle, but you can build to your desired colour. You can also use it as a blush and it looks natural.

Not in love with this bronzer. The color isn't orangey but it barely shows up on my skin all I see is shimmer. I can use it as a subtle contour under cheekbones, but it's not one I grab for on a daily basis. feels chalky to me. bought this in the compact GWP and just now getting around to reviewing it. I've had this awhile and the whole compact 2 E/S, blush and bronzer looks barely used. plus the little sliver they give you it's hard to pick up with regular blush/highlighter brush. no rebuy at regular price.

Title says it all. This dashmat fits so good, I didn't need to install the Velcro tabs on the dash. Well worth the price difference.

The perfectly designed fit using appropriately placed seams allowed to mat to conform to my dash quickly. I love the rich appearance of this DashMat Ltd Edition Dashboard cover. It transformed a damaged dashboard into a thing of beauty. A friend who is a car accessory nut loves it too, and wants to get one for his truck. This was an excellent choice over any other cover that I have seen.
