Smart Custom Repair Serum
This fragrance-free serum from Clinique makes intriguing claims, the formula isn't as unique or customized as it seems.
Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector
This tinted, lightweight, eye cream helps disguise dark circles with its combination of three cosmetic pigments.

Clinique At-A-Glance
Strengths: One of the best selections of state-of-the-art moisturizers and serums loaded with ingredients that research has shown are of great benefit to skin; excellent sunscreens; several Redness Solutions products excel; an outstanding benzoyl peroxide product; good selection of self-tanning products; some very good cleansers and eye makeup removers; some unique mattifying products; a large and wholly impressive selection of foundations, many with reliable sun protection (and shades for darker skin tones); good concealers; some remarkable mascaras; much-improved eyeshadows; loose powder; blush products; some brilliant lipsticks and lip gloss; gel eyeliner; priced lower than most competing department-store lines.
Weaknesses: The three-step skincare routine, because of the bar soaps and irritant-laden clarifying lotions; jar packaging downgrades several otherwise top-notch moisturizers; incomplete routines for those prone to acne; skin-lightening products with either unproven or insufficient levels of lightening agents.
Estee Lauder-owned Clinique's tremendous success (the company's products are sold in over 13,000 department stores and in 110 countries) reshaped the way cosmetics lines identified themselves, sending the concept of line loyalty out to pasture. Today, cosmetics companies expand their market either by buying already established companies or by creating new ones, and Lauder has been adept at doing both. Of course, cosmetics companies keep this multiple-personality identity hidden from the consumer. If the general buying public realized that these apparently different companies were so intertwined with each other, how could they flaunt their independence and claim that their unparalleled formulations are secret or the best? It's hard to think Lauder (or any company) would, even if they could, keep secrets from one branch separate from the others. And as evidenced by the formulary similarities between brands, they don't!
The niche Clinique built launched the concept of cosmetics being "allergy-tested," "hypoallergenic," "100% fragrance-free," and "dermatologist tested." Of those marketing claims the only one with significance is "100% fragrance-free," which, for the most part, Clinique maintains (although it does add some fragrant extracts to a few products). Regarding allergy testing, unless you can see the results, what difference does it make if a product makes that claim? What if the test showed 20% of the women who used it had a sensitizing reaction, dryness, or irritation? Would Clinique highlight this, or is it just easier to default to the generic allergy-tested claim and leave such details out, figuring consumers won't ask for more?
Moreover, "hypoallergenic" is a term not regulated by the FDA, so any product can use the word without having to substantiate the claim. "Dermatologist tested" is also bogus, because without published test results the term can easily mean nothing more than that a dermatologist picked up the product, looked at the container, and said "This looks good." And what about the dermatologists on Clinique's payroll? How do we know they're not the ones involved in testing, rather than sending the products out for independent, impartial evaluation (though how impartial can any study be that's paid for by the company making the product)?
Clinique declined any participation for this site, which included refusing to send us copies of the allergy studies they maintain have been performed for every product they sell. We find their unwillingness to help odd because, for the most part, we genuinely like most of their products. In fact, more than any other department-store line except Estee Lauder, Clinique is leading the way with cutting-edge, state-of-the-art moisturizers and serums, plus some formidable makeup. They also have their act together for sunscreens and have expanded their decades-old three-step skin-care routine to include water-soluble cleansers instead of bar soap. They also now have a second "Dramatically Different" moisturizer that's well-suited for those with normal to oily skin and FINALLY reformulated their longstanding water-and-wax yellow lotion.
The Clinique consultants, dressed in medical-looking white lab coats (Clinique's image in that sense was ahead of the times given today's plethora of doctor-designed skin-care lines), do their best to speak intelligently about skin-care routines, but for the most part they're trained to sell the products rather than to provide information about what substantiated research has shown about the skin's needs to look and feel its best.
The good news for you is that the chemists behind Clinique's arsenal of products have been keeping up on this exciting information, and formulating superior products in response. We wouldn't blindly and solely bank on Clinique as your skin-care solution, but more than ever what they offer is, despite some far-out claims and problematic products, what epitomizes advanced skin care for all ages. Shop carefully and you'll leave confident that you are purchasing products with solid science, not just marketing hype, behind them.
Turning to makeup, Clinique continues to offer a vast palette of colors and textures, especially in their huge and imposing selection of foundations, many of which feature effective sunscreens. In fact, this category has become the most compelling reason to shop Clinique's makeup collection. Without a doubt the numerous formulas offer something for every skin type and almost every skin color. The shade selection has improved considerably, with more neutrals and a broader range than ever before. You still need to use caution and watch out for peach-toned duds, but for the most part finding a natural-looking match shouldn't be a frustrating experience, and the counter personnel are happy to provide samples.
Although the foundation and powder shades take darker skin tones into account, the blush, eye pencil, and most of the lipstick shades do not. Perhaps that will change in the future, as Clinique beautifully updated their eyeshadow collection with ultra-smooth textures and deeper colors that show up on darker skin.
Compliments are also due for Clinique's updated makeup tester units. They are well-organized, labeled with product name and price, and easily accessible without a salesperson's help. And speaking of salespeople, most of the Clinique consultants we encounter go above and beyond to provide assistance and to answer any questions we had (even if we didn't always agree with their responses). Those white lab coats don't mean medical expertise, but we'll take outstanding customer service over pseudoscience any day!
The bottom line is that, despite a few shortcomings, Clinique is one of the most comprehensive (and comparably affordable) department-store makeup lines, and it is completely understandable why they enjoy such broad appeal.
Note: Clinique is categorized as one that tests on animals because their products are sold in China. Although Clinique does not conduct animal testing for their products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brand's state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law". Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Beautypedia Team.

Great skinny jeans. Very comfortable and true to size. The belly band allows for growth - I'm 19 weeks and the band (over belly) still has plenty of room. Only downside is that the back of the jeans (at waistline) gap a bit - likely won't be an issue in a few weeks Be sure to wash before wearing the dark rinse as it will rub off/transfer to other fabrics. |

Great jeans
16th August 2013
I have bought both the black and the indigo as I love these jeans so much! They are fantastic maternity jeans and look and fit exactly like normal skinny jeans. They are quite tight fitting and I am worried that the bump band will be too tight later on. I ordered size 0 and I am normally a size 6 so if you are between sizes I would certainly size up. All in all fantastic jeans |

Hot Skinny Jeans
21st July 2013
These jeans are gorgeous and don't feel/look like maternity jeans. The denim is a beautiful dark indigo which I love and these jeans are classic and go with everything. I am around 5 ft 2 and was size 6 (size 0?) pre pregnancy so purchased a size 0. I am now 28 weeks pregnant and the bump panel is too tight for my belly, I have quite a round belly now, so I just pull the bump panel down and wear it beneath the baby. I hope I can continue to wear these the whole pregnancy, I feel very sexy in them! :) |

Wardrobe essential! Love!
6th December 2012
I love these jeans. I wore skinnys before getting pregnant and these were worth the $$$ as a maternity replacement. The denim is a little thinner than most, the stretch makes them so comfortable. I find I wear them constantly and I don't feel like I'm wearing a maternity pants at all. I do have a smaller bump for 7 months than most and the panel that covers the belly is fine on me but I'm small framed with a short torso (I'm 5'5" and wear a US size 2) but I could see it cutting into your belly a bit if you we're taller. |

The best maternity jeans!
20th November 2012
The reason these are so good is that I have had them from 12 weeks and now I am 6 months, they are really comfy as the waist band covers the bump and doesnt make you feel you have muffin tops!!! |

Not too comfortable
16th October 2012
These are really tight. I have changed the size from 1 to 2, but the jersey belt on my belly was still too tight. And I was only 27 weeks pregnant at that time. All other IO products I buy size 1. |

21st September 2012
These are my favourite maternity purchase! Very flattering and stylish but most of all comfortable. I really like the fact that the waistband does not cut into your bump - I am 28 weeks and these are as comfortable now as they were in the early days. Lovely colour and great quality - no bagging around the knees. |

These jeans were a little expensive for maternity jeans, but they are totally cute! They seem to run a little small... I'm usually 8-10 and got a 5(12-14) in these. They are a little loose, but I'm only 26 weeks and wanted some room to grow. Very cute, stretchy and comfortable. I especially like that the waist comes up higher in the front and lower in the back and is very soft and comfortable. Overall... Very flattering and high quality jeans. |

Gallery: Suoi Re Village Community House in Vietnam Built from Rammed E...
Built simply and economically with local materials, the ground floor was constructed with smoother stone, while bamboo doors cover passageways, and a bamboo ceiling warms the space.
Located in Suoi Re, Luong Son, in the Hoa Binh province, the community house was erected against a picturesque scene, leaning against mountains and facing an incredible valley. Contextually aware of its surroundings, as well as the architectural typology of the Kinh and Muong people of the area, the interior of the structure is strikingly modern by comparison.
The overall space is organized in a chain, where the front space is an open courtyard, the main living space lies at the center and consists of connecting two floors. Upstairs one can find a teaching area, library and meeting areas. Overall, open space and programmatic flexibility were the focal points in determining the layout of the floor plan.
Built simply and economically with local materials, the ground floor was constructed with smoother stone, while bamboo doors cover passageways, and a bamboo ceiling warms the space. A rammed-soil wall with heavy stones supports the structure, and the bamboo roof frame has been adorned with dense palm leaves, providing protection from above.

Bun flour? if you please...

Taste was OK, but the rim didn't rise so well. Cold fermented for 24h bulk + 6-8h room temp each ball.I know this isn't the best flour for pizza, but should i still get a better result ? Scott123, The dough doctor, Bob anyone!
Damn I'm not sure how much, but the total increase was about 100% or even more. I made 4 balls total and i left one in the fridge and 2 to freezer, lets see if the fridge dough is any better tomorrow. Last time i had good result with frozen dough.
Have you looked at any of the utube videos on how to open and stretch a dough ball. Yours do look a bit flat(before bake) and I'm just wondering if maybe you are deflating/pressing all the air/gas out of them?
Bob, you are funny pal I will try to be extra careful tomorrow, but maybe one reason is that this was just 220gr dough. I used up to 280gr for the same size pie earlier in this thread.
Taste was OK, but the rim didn't rise so well. Crust was to dense and tight not enough spring.
With this dough i have to leave little extra dough to the rim, it doesn't rise so good. These are 220gr balls and diameter around 11.5", is this right size dough for this size or should i use bigger dough ? I tried 280gr, but i think the bottom comes to thick with that, maybe in the oven it would work, but i baked these on the countertop oven and the maximum diameter is 12".I have one more dough left from last patch and tomorrow i get some flour i never used before
Yes, you are at 7.7 oz...typical 12in NY will use around 12oz dough. Something is going on here with your dough Morgan...the bottom of that dough container pic showed a very fermented dough. I have a feeling this dough is too slack...is it real soft and pliable...you can press it out real easy with your fingers...or does it have some elasticity to it and you can pick it up and stretch it out on the back of your knuckles...Have you tried making a dough without the 00 flour?Bob

ATLANTA RECORD: Finished third a year ago. Will be shooting for his third straight top-six finish.
LOOKING AHEAD: Keselowski admits, "We aren't in a very enviable position (in the point standings), but we have two good race tracks coming up for us. We're only four points outside the top-10 - which is very doable - but we can't have any issues. I haven't won yet at Atlanta, but I think we can do that this weekend. If we can, everything will work out."
LOOKING BACK: Keselowski was involved in a multi-car accident with 53 laps remaining and finished 30th to severely damage his hopes of trying to win a second straight Sprint Cup championship. "We didn't have the speed we needed, but we obviously weren't a 30th-place team," said Keselowski. "It was just the way things fell. We've got two races left (to make the 2013 Chase for the Championship). I think they'll be very good race tracks for us."
ETC.: Keselowski believes the battle for the final four or five spots in the Chase is "gonna come down to the last lap at Richmond and I'm ready for that battle. Sure, we are worried. I don't care if you're running eighth or you're running 13th, every team is worried and concerned - not just mine. We tested at the next two tracks and we're gonna be very competitive."
78 KURT BUSCH, Chevrolet
Team: Furniture Row Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 12th, only six points out of the top 10. Lost three spots last week to fall out of the top 10.
ATLANTA RECORD: Two wins and five top-six finishes in the last seven races.
LOOKING AHEAD: Busch said his immediate goal is to get the 78 in the Chase. "We have to be perfect the next two weeks to make the Chase," added Busch. "I'm as fired up as ever to try to deliver these guys into an area that they never thought was achievable. I have the potential to show up here (Stewart-Haas Racing) January 1, 2014 with two championships under my arm. The next two weeks are the most important weeks of the 78 car's career. I want to deliver them into the Chase."
LOOKING BACK: After starting second, Busch led 54 of the first 76 laps before telling his crew he felt a "bad vibration" while leading. He slowed down for a couple of laps before making an unscheduled pit stop. His problems were compounded on lap 91 when he ran into Josh White to bring out the second caution flag of the night. Busch was forced to go behind the wall where the crew replaced the damaged hub in the right rear wheel assembly. He returned to the race in 41st place, but ended the evening in 31st place to keep alive his hopes of making the Chase. "We're down, but we're not out," said Busch.
ETC.: On Monday, Busch agreed to drive for Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014, and on Tuesday the team made it official. "Kurt Busch is a premier talent, one who gives you the opportunity to win races every week, and contend for a championship every year," said co-owner Gene Haas. "Stewart-Haas Racing has proven itself to be a very competitive race track," said Busch. "This is the kind of situation every driver wants to be in, and I'm very grateful to Gene Haas and Haas Automation for proving me this opportunity. I didn't think anyone wanted to win as much as me until I met Gene Haas."
24 JEFF GORDON, Chevrolet
Team: Hendrick Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: 13th, 11 points out of the top 10. Gained one spot last week.
ATLANTA RECORD: Won the 2011 race and finished second a year ago. Overall has five wins and 25 top-10 finishes including 16 top-five's in 39 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Gordon said, "We just need to do our job and get the best results possible these next two races and see how things shake out. You'll have ups and you'll have downs throughout race weekends. It's how you manage the peaks and valleys that allow you to stay focused. We've been in this position before (having to win a race to get into the Chase). We know the challenges that we face. We are confident we have what it takes (to make the Chase)."
LOOKING BACK: Gordon was both happy and frustrated Saturday night at Bristol after finishing seventh. "I think we were better than that," said Gordon. "I don't know if we had enough for Matt (Kenseth) but we fought hard and gave it our best effort. Seventh gained us some points, but it's not as much as we could have. Things just didn't work out for us at the end. We had to save gas and we couldn't run as hard as we were capable of."
ETC.: Gordon will visit the University of Georgia on Thursday to view firsthand how The Campus Kitchens Project and the Campus Kitchen at UGA provide healthy meals to older Georgians who struggle to put food on the table. "It's always cool to see communities get involved with this issue, and I think it will be interesting to see what the university and the students are doing," said Gordon.
56 MARTIN TRUEX JR., Toyota
Team: Michael Waltrip Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 14th, 22 points out of the top 10. Lost two spots last week. Stands first in the wild-card standings with one win.
ATLANTA RECORD: Finished fourth a year ago after leading 40 laps.
LOOKING AHEAD: Truex suffered a scaphoid fracture and sprain of his right wrist Saturday night at Bristol. The doctors have fitted Truex with a special cast he'll wear indefinitely. The cast enables Truex to better grip the steering wheel. NASCAR has cleared Truex to race this weekend at Atlanta and in the remaining 11 races.
LOOKING BACK: Truex's hopes of a top-10 finish ended with 53 laps to go when he was involved in a multi-car accident in turn two. As a result, he finished 35th. "Honestly, I didn't see anything," said Truex. "They just started jamming up and I just tried to follow the 29 (Kevin Harvick) through and we got smashed in the fence a couple times. Just frustrating, we had a great car all night long. We ran towards the front all night, but just didn't have enough gas to make it to the end and had to pit. Once you get in the back here towards the end, they start wrecking and you're an innocent victim. Just frustrated right now because we had a good car."
ETC.: Truex said, "It would be awesome to be sitting here and say we're a virtual lock - some guys are already locked in and I'm very jealous of that - not going to lie. But there's no sense in worrying about it, there's no sense in losing sleep. We're a good enough race team, had a good enough season that we shouldn't be in this position. But we are and so we have to step up and make it happen when the pressure's on."

"Isabel Bayrakdarian joins Tafelmusik for a concert of music written for the famous "rival queens" of 18th-century London: baroque era superstar sopranos Faustina Bordoni and Francesca Cuzzoni. Their rivalry inspired riots at the opera house, and their behaviour so enraged Handel that he threatened to dangle one of them out a window! We will try to avoid such extremes, but look forward to hearing the stunning Isabel Bayrakdarian perform arias penned for these original prima donnas by Handel, Hasse, and Bononcini."

text:
Some reviews implied a typical story of a fight for freedom that, nefariously or ignorantly, shapes the story to ironically reinforce real-world ignorance and oppression. A story politically educated and/or southerners would be offended by. Sadly, it is. The abusive govt uses nearly all southern names of civil war or civil rights struggles for bad guys. So?
Civil rights was not a north/south but an R/D struggle except for the vote. Racist hiring and redlining was NATIONWIDE, causing 1960s race riots in Chicago IL, Detroit MI, Harlem NY, Watts CA, etc; most not southern cities but all D run. Using Jesse Helms (1960s racist who swapped D for R party LATER in 1970s. Media used him for decades to push falsehood it was the Rs opposing when it was mainly Ds). Yet, somehow, his story's bad govt uses only southern names. A George Wallace shuttle but no Mayor Daily police HQ building, etc names? Gosh, I wonder why? What real-world impression might that cause, or awareness prevent?
As to the civil war refs, the names with the rest of the story reinforce the falsehood it was about the north freeing the slaves and equality. Consider why wars are really fought and the export tariff that triggered the war. Southern industrialization stayed halted (no new competition) and civil rights had to wait yet another 100 years, nationwide. The goal was retaining regional econ dominance and used R/D parties.
Isn't it great 9 of 10 USA kids are effectively locked into schools controlled by politicians who need not worry about competition costing revenue or much of the public becoming actually educated and encouraged to think? I managed to get to the protagonist on the 2nd amendment, how libertarianism only works when all are on the same side –what BS. To hell with the 100 lb gal fending off a 250 lb attempted rapist, I guess.
See the first two Aristeia series novels for SCI-FI for what this novel was supposed to be without stupidly offending Rs, Ds, or people who actually think and just want entertainment without stupid protagonists.
SCI-FI seems to come in three basic kinds. The Classic, mainly fun with ideas and concepts. The MILITARY kind focusing on characters and plot, scope HUGE (fate of the universe). To me, a third kind focuses on characters and plot but the scope is not so huge; easier to identify with as few people are actually world leaders, generals, etc. I like all 3 kinds. But that last kind seems hard to find. Anywaaay, Aristeia is the third kind.
Setting: a sector of maybe 5-10 planet colonies and species. Hyperspace travel between them takes days to months. We learn there was a war, then the Terrans (humans) entered it and they all became part of the Terran Alliance. Claims to be like a individual liberty constitutional republic (well, democracy is incorrectly used, as in the real world). But, well, not so much actually in this sector. Much like being a colony of Brittan a century ago and earlier. Each planet has a Gov appointed, complaints of govt abuse tend to be categorized as subversion or treason.
Plot and characters: A war vet's way younger sister was arrested in a college govt protest. He gets here and they jump bail before still larger charges are assessed. So they live on his ship and are smugglers. The story begins from here. Some other characters try to swipe their ship. The sister and some of the ship thieves end up in prison. Plans for a prison break are brewed, etc. That's in about the first third of the book. Great plot that seems to be building in scope but not too fast.
We get the story from the various characters viewpoint. We get who they are, personality, their thinking, but are not made into a psychoanalyst for them. Also no ism reinforcing junk, no graphic sex. No stupid characters (pet peeve) but diff assessments of the situation that make sense given the character's experience. Some, like Ben Franklin, think Alliance can be persuaded to live up to their creed, others think revolution needed.
"Audible file NAME (not audio file) error"
I liked book 1 in this series and noticed book 2 is now here. BUT the filenames for book 2 are the same as book 1. This is why downloading book2 overwrites (deletes) book 1 on the PC locally. If you download book1 again same thing, it wipes out book2. SO, if you wanted to have and listen to book1 and 2 back to back you cannot.Please rename the 2 files that make up book2 from AristeiaUnabridgedPart1 to Aristeia2UnabridgedPart1 or something (so the filenames are different for the 4 files that make up the 2 books) so users can buy and listen to both.
Incidentally, I tried to use the return a book option for another book days ago, I get a popup, click ok BUT the book is not removed, my credit is not restored. I buy over 100 books a year on audible and this is an advertised feature. Please fix so it works. Thanks
"Great historical fiction"
I was afraid this would be a story written with modern attitudes, sensibilities, isms, etc and be merely labled as historical fiction as is so often the case. Aside from characters, plot, etc. what I really like about this series is that it seems sociologically realistic. One imagines 1800s Brit sociology, esp military, very much not PC by modern sensibilities. This was back when people actually still dueled from time to time. There were great, interesting characters, both male and, which is more rare regardless of genera, female. Sharpe's lady love isn't a basketcase, genius prodigy despite having no education either, nor more butch than the guys, or any of that stuff from modern settings I usually find teleported back and passed off as a historical novel. She has a good head on her shoulders, like Sharpe, and I but how things work out for them. Overall a great adventuring romp.
"Who actually wrote this?"
Doesn't read like a Ringo novel. We get a family who take preparing for a post appocolyptic world from a variety of causes, complete with code-words, fake identities, multiple plans. But they pose as a regular suburbanite family as that's where they live. The problem occurs which means they will hold out in a boat on the ocean (as per cover art). As zombie virus spreads they get a boat, dock in NYC harbor (?). Sent to help work on finding an innoculation are... the underage girls and dad (??) while it spreads through NYC. Police, etc. are overwhelmed but... to experience a truly great NY family restuarant meal they go to a mob owned one. They hear of a concert in the park the youngest wants to expience one while still possible... so they go? And the girls allowed out of the car to mingle in the crowd? Guess what happens? No, really, guess
Then it seems like the writing was handed off from a North American multi-generational suburban homemaker to a Brit or a Frog. They hide out on the ocean (not going to a place, just hanging out) and nearly run out of supplies. The dad decides to change the plan from salvaging stuff, deciding on an island, getting a stable, sustainable home base, then who knows. No, now he wants to rescue as many live boaters as possible and THEN figure out where to put them in tight quarters, how to feed them, put down mutiny attempts, etc. Meanwhile, there are Navy subs listening to his merry ships radioing. Navy guys aren't doing ANYTHING, literally. No, just listening to the radio chatter (no communicating even) as their supplies run out. This sound like the kind of characters and attributes or plot choices you expect from a John Ringo? Yeah, me either. Another rip-off from some other writers under the name, So that's it for me.
If you were looking for something more like Zombie Fallout from Tufo where the characters aren't quite wearing a WWJD band and a member of the Promisekeepers, but pretty close, in your post appocolyptic story then its a 3 or maybe even 4 star.
If you prefer your post appocolyptic stories to be more like one would expect in a story actually written by Ringo, DJ Molles, or even the TV show Walking Dead, like me, then this is a none or 1 star at best. I prefer characters in this genera be realistic for the situation (time to leave the Well, In A Perfect World One Would Hope To Be Able To stuff and get-it-in gear)
"It's a low rent apartment building, not a person"
My review title is because I noticed this one several times and passed because I don't like stories so large in scope and world-import as gods interacting much or warring. But this book actually doesn't have that so I wanted people with similar tastes to not let the title fool you.
The main character human is a 20 something, not a child, whose career plans didn't work out. The human who may or may not have formerly been a dragon is interesting and contrasts well with the MC (and others). The bounty hunter is half-orc. There are some other interesting creatures in (and under) the city. The audio sample introduces what causes the overall plot but the rest of the story happens in the different parts of the interesting City of Splendors. It is more like Murder in Halruaa or Murder in Cormyr in tone. But it's not a murder mystery but of the maybe-former dragon and a potential threat to the city. Along the way the MC deals with what to do now that her first career choice didn't work out. I liked it and the characters.
"One of the two best D&D novels I've found"
It starts out with a small crew battling off pirates at sea. Quirky, gritty, realistic characters make up the small crew. Some are generous, ungenerous and suspicious, young and timid, older and cantankerous, with a constant sarcastically joking banter, and fiercely loyal to each other. Flashbacks help fill them and their story out. The flashbacks also help explain the overall plot. The story also covers characters in other locations that relate to and eventually meet up with the plotline. None are stereotypes, few are very powerful, but most are complex and realistic characters so it was easier to identify with, take seriously, and care about them the challenges they face.
When things turn out to not be what they were supposed to the mission changes. Shipboard, slogging and fighting through the jungle and creatures, discovering unforeseen plot angles, ancient ruins, and a little castle conniving. It had great action scenes, mystery, some political intrigue, and surprising plot twists. At various points it had the tone or flavor of Serenity, old jungle exploring adventure movies, Indiana Jones, and The Mummy. It doesn't end in a cliff hanger but a character has decides to start a new a new effort that could be a next novel. I immediately got the next novel in the series but it is a different thing altogether. A great writer, I can't wait for her next stand-alone novel.
The narration was really good with a variety of voices that fit the characters but spoken too fast, without enough (sometimes any) pause between phrases and sentences. Not so fast that I couldn't enjoy the story but in many places it made it hard to follow and I had to rewind and this detracted.
"Who do you suppose the target market is for a D&D"
This was much less of what was good and much more of what was annoying in the first book. A pity because the first novel in this series was really good. I'm not sure I follow the thinking involved in most D&D novels. D&D players and the market was and I assume still is primarily young men (or they were when they first started playing).
There are story qualities that often appeal to both men and women. There are some that appeal to one and don't interest the other yet they don't find it annoying. Then there are qualities that appeal to one and annoy the other (e.g., musicals, porn, romance novels). As an author, I would not include any of the latter so as to not run-off potential customers. But, if, for some inexplicable reason, you are going to include the latter kind… why would you choose the kind that is likely to annoy the majority of the market that might consider buying your product?
This novel is mostly about soap opera like relationships and plots, wherein a couple of characters gingerly approach discovering and ultimately admitting they have romantic feelings for each other. Any adventuring is incidental and mucked up with that Barney the Dinosaur vibe which was only slightly present in the first novel. IMHO it is not D&D or even Fantasy but a Romance genera novel.
"Really good D&D"
The main character wakes in a tavern inn with tattooed arms and no clue why and what happened. Now she thinks of it, she only has hazy memories of the past year. She doesn't know what the hell and been going on but is darn sure gonna find out, who branded her and why. She sets out, one adventure leads to the next, is joined by some interesting characters for their own various reasons along the way, until we finally find out. This is the first in a series but good as a stand-alone novel. We have something lizard man like, a singing thief grafter or bard, merchant trading company wizard, a dragon, a calmari, and all sorts of encounters from upper middle class engagement party, to mountain passes and caves, etc.
What I liked so much about this book is that it starts simple, both as to characters and story scope, and then grows as you go, so that I bought it. I felt like I got to know them so they had a less lame and more genuine feel to them. I was not rolling my eyes as the authors tried to make me their characters' psychiatrist, and having them and their "stuff" deluged onto me and me hoping I had some dry towels.
It had a much more Connan the Barbarian feel to it than Lord of the Rings, which is what a D&D novel should be IMHO. Opinions vary but to me: Fantasy is for LOTR types and D&D for CTB types of stories. Otherwise why bother having two different genera or looking in one instead of the other to find the kind of story you want if their content is the same? I think of it this way: if the whopper were a big mac but with a different name, then burger king would never have taken off.
"I give it 1 star as a D&D novel"
More Romance novel than D&D
Seems to me this is Romance genera or you might stretch to say it is what the Fantasy genera has been mostly turned into. A guy stumbles across the daughter of a woman he desired beyond reason in a small town. He must have her. Sound like a few generas you know so far? Porn or Romance, depending on what happens next. But wait, there's more. She knows not who he is, he is a powerful sociopath, and the chase begins. She is the victim and fears she is losing her mind (for the psychobabble content ingredient), he the crazy bad guy (the demonized and/or denigrated must be male), there is also a good guy (well, maybe he is), there may or may not be sex involved (thankfully not in this book) etc. This is a Romance novel, not D&D.
I'm not saying porn for women should not exist. Musicals too, I guess. Different strokes for different folks. But does it have to be everywhere, all the time? It would be nice if we could at least keep this stuff, whichever kind it is, whoever it is written for, in its own genera so the unsuspecting don't stumble across it and have that "ewwww" moment. A little consideration or proper categorization should not be asking too much.

Nice to see someone trying to push vendors to something rather than lay there and take it up the ass.
In and of itself, Wayland will perform a ton better than X11. I'm running compiz on nouveau right now, it's performant *enough* for me. By the time Canonical actually does this, Free drivers will be a lot faster.
If an application is using the x11 screensaver thing to tell if a user went away, yes, that is improperly written-- but that may be a fault of GTK or Qt that the application developer will catch the consequences for. Is that seriously the only way to query how long the user has been away? What does Empathy use?
Nice to see someone trying to push vendors to something rather than lay there and take it up the ass.
smells like ubuntu's trying to steal the show with a unity-compiz-wayland thingymajig.
i don't know.... it just seems like canonical is trying to monopolize the open source world. which isn't nearly as bad as closed big business monopolization. at least they're trying to use and advance new technologies while bringing in new linux users.
anyway, go wayland!
Good news actually. Wayland needed a push by a major player. Though I guess the decision might not be really final yet.
I certainly hope they make the switch before 12.10.
X server is architecturally flawed. Wayland is the future.
http://www.interact-sw.co.uk/iangblo...goslingwindowsIn short, windowing systems designed to allow distributed operation where the application does not necessarily run on the desktop are demonstrably architecturally flawed - they cannot exploit modern graphics hardware.
Gosling's highlights this increasing unsuitability of an X11-style architecture in a paper in which he outlines how he would design a windowing system if he were starting from scratch today. The most striking feature of Gosling's proposal is how low level it is:
"make the 'window system' so minimal that it is almost non-existent."
As a Ubuntu user, I optimistically expect Wayland to bring:
1) Much less RAM consumption per logged user comparing to X/Compiz.
2) No flicker in video, switching to login screen, user switching and so on.
3) No weird bugs when switching to and from full-screen apps in other resolutions then default (mostly games)
4) Less CPU usage / more battery life
5) Faster system boot
6) Never boot to console as failover - at least for major consumer graphic chips Intel, NV, AMD.
All of these should be achievable by simplified design comparing to X. It remains to be seen how much Wayland will actually deliver in mentioned points.
good news. but what about updating old ubuntu to new ubuntu? users will be scare, they failed something
i love changes, so i would try wayland right when it become stable

(Fuckin-A!! I was sitting here rubbing my clit watching Paulina suck off that Cock, and once she was handed that vibrator, it was all over!! I came!! Now I\'ve got to tell all you members how damn amazing this precious little babe is while my panties are soaked!) So, a chick that loves sucking cock is sure to get an A from me!! But without a doubt, this dame knows what she\'s doing! Her sexxxy panties and wispy little voice included, Paulina could be damn near perfection!! She\'s masturbating in this scene with the vibrator while she\'s choking on that schlong! (omg, just writing that almost made me have another orgasm!) Paulina crams that dick down her throat and cums quite a few times in this scene and - (*moan* FUCK!! Alright, I came again!) Sorry, guys, this scene is too good for me to keep writing about! *Moan* It\'s making me cream my panties every few seconds so; you\'re just going to have to watch it.

The trends in mortality from hepatocellular cancer paralleled the trends in incidence. Overall there was a 41% increase in mortality from the 1970s tothe 1990s. The age-adjusted mortality rate for black men increased from 5.3 per 100,000 from 1981-1985 to 6.0 per 100,000 from 1991-1995. Therates of mortality in white men over these same time periods rose from 2.3 to 3.4 per 100,000. The increase in mortality in women was considerablysmaller.
The process by which HBV and HCV cause liver cancer is not well understood. One hypothesis asserts that the viruses initiate a cycle ofinflammation, cellular damage and repair which eventually leads to fibrosis (cirrhosis) of the liver, and ultimately, hepatocellular cancer. The virusalso produces a protein, which can stimulate cellular growth, and the viral genome has been shown to integrate into the DNA of hepatocytes causinginstability and gene mutations. This etiologic hypothesis has led to several strategies to reduce the transmission of HBV and HCV.
A vaccine against HBV has been developed and a study in Taiwan found that vaccinating children reduced the incidence of HBV and hepatocellularcancer. In the United States the screening of blood products has reduced the risk of transfusion-induced HCV infection to 1 in 100,000. Treatmentof infected patients with interferon alpha or ribavirin has yielded encouraging results. With the advent of these anti-viral medications and vaccinationsthe incidence of chronic HCV and HBV infection will surely decline, and with it the incidence of hepatocellular cancer.
Patients with chronic HBV or chronic HCV infection should be monitored with serial alpha-fetoprotein measurements and liver ultrasound to detecthepatocellular cancer at an early stage. However, the frequency with which these screening tests should be performed is controversial, and it remainsto be seen whether early detection will improve outcome.
May 10, 2010 - In California, a public health project initiative has increased hepatitis B vaccinations among at-risk adults. However, in the United States there is an increasing incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma -- which often results from hepatitis B infection, according to two reports published in the May 7 issue of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

The Weather Outside Is...?
I am not sure what it's like in your neck of the woods, but we're having sprinter here. Or wing. Or Armageddon. Or whatever it would be when winter & spring can't make up their minds. I'm also off in a bit to take Carter to the doctor. We never have to go to the doctor so this is a big deal- his poor ear and neck are in severe pain. Be thinking of him! And me- I'd like some sleep. The past night and morning so far are a blur. So anyway, if you want more from me, you can just go on over here.

Poor baby! I've got an ear infection that hurts BAD and I've been using the ear pain relief by Similasan and it is wonderful! The pain is gone within a few minutes of using it, and best of all, it's all natural! I found it at Walgreens. I hope he feels better soon, for his sake and yours!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I love warm weather...spring is my favorite season, but in the winter, i like it to be cold so i can appreciate spring more! Having said that, it has been pretty warm here in the DC area. Things got a little cooler today, but not January weather.

Seems fair to me Weidmann. The Greek politicians better get their act together. The other option was to not join the Euro, but our elites loved it for obvious reasons.
Besides, just think where the drachma would be today if we didn't join? Not joining would have suited me just fine. I would have spent so many dollars on Greek vacations it would not be funny.
The drachma did not suit the Greek wealthy property holders though. But now, low and behold, there are no European buyers for these properties.
Ahh, the plans of mice, and dumb Greek politicians who represent global banking interests...laughs

In Sight - Netherlands
What is the name of the hill you can see in the distance? What are the lakes you see in front of you? Point there with In Sight Netherlands and you'll see on the screen what they are called.
"App of the Week" in Norway's largest newspaper Aftenposten on May 12th, 2012: "It's as simple as it is brilliant!"
* Offline Augmented Reality in Netherlands *
See what's near you where you travel in Netherlands: Hills, Lakes, Places, Buildings, etc. You don't even have to be nearby Netherlands: You can manually set your location to a place in Netherlands to pretend you are there. Decide if you want to see places nearby, or famous cities around the world.
Works everywhere: By the sea, in the mountains, in the city. Without the internet, without coverage.
Turn the phone sideways to view on the camera screen the places that are nearby. Take a picture of what you see, and send it by email, or post it on facebook, directly from the App!
You can also add your own places!
In Sight Netherlands is also an altimeter, speedometer and also estimates the distance you've traveled. Choose between metric (km, meter) or imperial (miles, feet) units.
All data is built into the App, so you don't need internet. You only need internet when you use the map or send a picture on email or post it on facebook.
In Sight Netherlands relies on the compass and GPS of your device. Best results are achieved if you are outside.
Note: If your device don't have a built-in compass, you cannot see the places as camera overlays (3rd generation iPod touch, iPhone 3G or older models). You can still see the places in lists and on the map.

Leaning through corners
49 posts
• Page 1 of 2 • 1, 2
Leaning through cornersThis is a bit of an odd question but I was just wondering while out riding today. How much can you lean you bike as you go into a corner?
How much do you lean your bike? What are the limits, obviously the biggest one is sliding sides ways on your knee. This is sort of an abstract question because you'd have to take into account factors like speed and the angle which you're turning. I've slid out on my fixie in the rain, I definitely know that limit, but on a dry day on your roadie when you can poke a knee out, how far do you lean over?
Re: Leaning through cornersI haven't found out yet luckily .
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: Leaning through cornersDepends on your speed, tyre grip and rider skill etc. So depends.
Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: Leaning through cornersRiding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Leaning through cornersToo many varying factors. The limit will essentially be controlled by the friction available between your tyre and the road surface. So that brings your tyre choice and the road surface into play. Then there's your weight that is the next major factor and so on.......
Just keep leaning till you slide out, then you know the limit
Re: Leaning through cornersAlso depends on whether you intend to keep pedaling through the corner. If you do, the bottom-bracket drop and crank length measurements become important, as you don't want to scrape your pedals on the ground. When I'm cornering, I'll typically lean the bike but keep my body relatively upright: I find that to be more stable (or at least, it works for me).
Re: Leaning through cornersYou could watch and see how the experts do it.
Re: Leaning through cornersdo you?
a) lean the bike but try to keep the body upright or b) lean the body and try to keep the bike upright when do we stop for coffee???
Re: Leaning through corners
Keep the head upright and lean the bike.
Re: Leaning through cornersI lean - enough.
Too heavy to climb, too old to sprint.
Roger Ramjet: 2009 Giant CRX3 Lady Penelope: 2011 Avanti Cadent 1.0 TdF
Re: Leaning through cornersI am lean enough
This discussion of cornering technique is all getting a bit remote from the OP's question about safe lean angles. However technique does play a significant role in how well you can corner and how fast. One point related to this is the benefits of two things: 1. Putting your inside knee out - always makes me feel much more reassurred about the corner but I don't know why - is it just the weight of my leg further to the inside? 2. Putting all your weight on the outside pedal - this is particularly effective in controlling a fully loaded touring bike or MTB on a rough gravel road descent. I have seen people discover this technique after a little instruction and be amazed at how much it helps them corner really well. Again, I don't know why it works. Maybe someone with a physics background can analyze these techniques. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Leaning through corners
As I understand it, tilting the bike can move the centre of mass from under the bottom bracket to the inside of the corner, so putting your weight through the rigid outside leg with the pedal at 6 o'clock helps move it back.
Re: Leaning through cornersMy girlfriend had the terrible habit of putting the inside leg down when going around corners. She got away with it because she rides fairly slowly.
For what it is worth, I put my outside leg down with my weight on that pedal and lean into the corner (body and bike). Breaking before the corner is also important. I am no speed demon and I certainly ride within my limits (there's no way in hell I want to come off a bike at 60-80 km/hr!). Actually once I did come off at around 50-60 km/hr but that was on grass fortunately (damn dew).
Re: Leaning through cornersaccording to Sheldon Brown
For the amount of lean I don't think it matters too much, as long as you're getting through the corner
Re: Leaning through cornersMy half-assed theory (there are lots of internet forum discussions about it, see motorcycle forums also and swap "pedal" for "peg") below...
Imagine your bike didn't lean at all. Basically it stayed flat, just like a car or trike when cornering. To turn a corner, you turn the bars. When you turn the bars/steering, the front wheel turns to exactly the same angle as the bars. Now start to lean the bike to the inside of the corner. Now when you turn the bars, the effect is amplified at the contact point of the tyre - you only need a tiny steering angle 9at the bars) to produce a large change in the angle of the contact patch at the tyre. If you can't visualise that, take it to the extreme - imagine a bike laid flat on its side: the tiniest steering angle makes the very front of the tyre the bit that touches the ground (the contact patch), and it will want to roll 90° to the direction of the rear wheel). So the more you lean the bike, the more sensitive the steering becomes. The less you lean it, the less sensitive it is to steering inputs. "Twitchy" could replace the word "sensitive" - if you're not a pro/not concentrating, it could be difficult to respond with the necessary accuracy at the bars. Back to the pedal weighting: weighting the outside pedal is in effect the same as leaning off to the inside of the bike. It will try to stand the bike more upright. Standing the bike more upright will make the steering less twitchy, ergo, more easy to control. I'm not sure if the above is accurate though, it's just my guesswork. Another factor is that weighting the outside pedal pushes the saddle into the inside of your outer thigh (or if you are out of the saddle, loads up your hands on the steering). This effectively locks your body to the frame more rigidly, making it easier to feel what it is doing and therefore making corrective responses more intuitive. FYI Lord Sheldon advocates against leaning off the bike on the basis of the asymmetric torque that is applied through the steering if you have to brake mid-corner.
Re: Leaning through cornersShow some real commitment to your cornering!
My bike blog. Long on rumination, rambling and opinion. Why let facts ruin everything?
Re: Leaning through corners
Commitment? He's on the brakes...
Re: Leaning through cornersThats just to stop him rolling off that silver thing under his knee.
Re: Leaning through cornersI have a question - what the hell is counter steering?
I read Sheldon/Jobst's explanation of it and am thoroughly confused. Are they trying to say you turn your wheel in the opposite direction to cornering? I've paid careful attention to my turning style over the last few days and I steer (ever so slightly) the way I want to go when leaning the bike over to turn. Not the opposite direction.
Re: Leaning through cornersLean? Who leans? Countersteer...
Cycle touring blog and tour journals: whispering wheels...
Re: Leaning through corners
the picture above actually shows counter-steering. the front wheel is pointed slightly to the right when going left
Re: Leaning through corners
I see. But with that photo, who knows what's actually going on. It's a photo! Still, I'm trying to stay with you. The article on Sheldon's site seems to say that the only way to steer is via counter steering - that's what's really got me. If I actively try and steer the other way, I turn the other way. Even while leaning to turn - I mean, I you always lean to turn! I've been riding bikes for a long, long time but new to roadies, so I'm just a little confused.
Re: Leaning through cornersCountersteering is turning the bars very briefly to one direction (say right) in order to initiate a turn in the opposite direction (left). It moves the front wheel out to the right, initiating the lean angle needed to turn left.
Re: Leaning through corners
I think this is probably the major benefit of weighting the outside pedal. Stability and predictable control. Any lack of control is going to be particularly noticeable on a rough gravel road with a heavily loaded bike, hence we get real cornering improvements from doing this. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.

Massachusetts has passed a law that will protect people and their pets when severe storms strike the area.
The new law will require cities and towns to create an emergency evacuation and shelter plan for pets and service animals.
Richard Aguiar, director of emergency management and deputy of special services in Fall River, said there are already some emergency protocols in place for pets, and improvements are on the way.
"In Fall River, we're pretty proactive when it comes to sheltering people and pets," Aguiar said. "We do have things in place."
