It all started a couple of months ago when I googled 'a dupe for the MAC 222'... I was pointed in the direction of the Hakuhodo J146, developed a love affair with Hakuhodo and have now amassed a well-loved and well-used collection of brushes!
In no particular order, these are the Hakuhodo brushes I own;
G5513 - The G5513 is perfect for extremely detailed e/s placement anywhere on the eyelid. I love using this for applying e/s to my lower lashline. Compared to the MAC 228 it's more stiff and softer.
J5523 - This brush is hands down the far, far, far more superior dupe to the MAC 217! It blends e/s really nicely,is much softer, even after multiple washes. Believe the hype of this brush! It makes blending in the crease or any other area of the eye a breeze.
J5522 - I absolutely LOVE this brush for applying my transition colour and highlighter. The tapered tip allows me to perfectly position my transition colour in the crease area and blends as it applies it, resulting in a perfectly blended and diffused look, no matter if the eyeshadow is dark or light.
J5533 - This brush strongly resembles the MAC 224, but it is a thousand times better and blending! My absolute favourite blush for blending out harsh lines. Blends harsh lines away seamlessly and with ridiculously little effort. One of my absolute must-haves!
J5529 - An amazing brush for firstly applying eyeshadow to the outer corners, and then going back to blend it with the rest of the eyeshadow on the lid. If you have very small eyes, I think this would make an excellent crease brush.
J146 - The perfect brush to apply eyeshadow in a very precise placement to the crease. I apply the eyeshadow of choice to my crease area and then use windshield wiper motions to blend it in. The e/s stays exactly where I want it to. If you have smaller eyes, again, I think you would also like this brush.
J142 - This is the supposed dupe to the MAC 222, which I have never owned and always regretted not purchasing. I use this brush to deposit a stronger wash of diffused colour to my crease, thanks to it's tapered tip. Although it applies a stronger wash of colour, it never applies eyeshadow harshly.
J242G - I use this brush for everyday application of my eyeshadow to the lid - it is smaller in size than the MAC 239, which means I can't apply eyeshadow as quickly, but I can apply it more precisely to my eyelid and just below the crease.
My must-haves;
Since I bought all my brushes, I've used them all nearly every single day - my MAC brushes are all stood in the jar gathering dust! All of the brushes wash well, and have still retained their softness. I always always comb each brush head after washing - it's important to really take care of these brushes so they last!

My Hakuhodo brushes have been part of my daily make-up arsenal for the past 7 months now: the quality craftsmanship and the price point make this brand a no-brainer for me, and my (still relatively modest) collection already contains far more brushes than I need.
Hakuhodo are now also etching the brush numbers onto the handles of their newer batch brushes, which is probably a response to customer feedback.
The brushes which I use every single day (and take with me when travelling) are the:
B133 (x 2, one per eye colour)
K024 (which I am still preferring over my new Shu Uemura 10 kolinsky)
White goat fan brush
I've also posted separate reviews for each, so won't go into details here. As a general observation, although these brushes are reliable workhorses and I wash them once every week-fortnight with mild soap, they are not indestructible! The hair of the squirrel/blend brushes have been breaking noticeably (B133 and G5521) and the J5543 sheds a lot.
It's actually the K024 (pony hair, and which I've had very mixed feelings about) and the B110 which are holding up best to the test of time so far. I think sticking to sohoko goat hair brushes might be the way forward for me.

Simply nothing in the world like these brushes. Nothing. Worth every single penny when you get such soft and amazing brushes that do all the work for you. Truly a high quality product. If I could buy every Hakuhodo brush and return all my Mac brushes (except 109 contour) I would do it in a heartbeat!!!!

Looking for high quality, superb craftsmanship and a great value? Hakuhodo is your answer. Hakuhodo are known for their high quality, soft, handcrafted brushes. Each brush are assembled using the finest, natural hairs ranging from goat, squirrel, horse, weasel, and water badger. There are also a few synthetic fiber brushes. Hakuhodo brushes come in a variety of series. The series range from reasonably affordable to pricey. The J series, which I mostly obtain, consist of goat, horse, and synthetic fiber brushes. Some are blended with a little of each. Most of the brushes in the J series are quite affordable; some even more affordable than my Mac brushes. I purchased a total of 6 brushes most of them are for eyes. Five are made up of white goat hairs, while only one is made up of horse. I wanted brushes that I don't already have in my collection or wanted a dupe of. Starting with:
J142 ($18): Absolutely amazing. I adore this brush. If I had to rate this brush from a scale of 1-10, I would give this a 20. Not only is the quality superb, but, the way it functions is beyond words. The J142 is a medium sized crease brush. I don't have another brush like this to compare it to, but, I've heard it is very similar in shape and size to the Tom Ford # 13 brush or the Mac 222. The size isn't too big nor too small. It can fit most eye shapes/size, however, for smaller eyes Hakuhodo does sell a smaller version of this brush the J146. It's dense enough to provide support and to pick up color, but also fluffy enough to blend out harsh edges. I reach for this brush when applying darker shades in the crease that I don't want too dark, as well as, for the outer V. I loved this brush so much that I went back and ordered another one. One for the crease and one for the outer V. Great brush to have in your collection and it's definitely a must have.
BJ142 ($18): Same brush as the above. I purchased a second one for the outer V.
J5522 ($20): This is a great blending brush. It's a little larger than the J142/BJ142, but, still can be used as a crease brush for larger eyes. Its tapered edge provides a good amount of control when working in the crease. It's not too dense nor is it floppy. I personally use this brush for blending out my entire eye look, but, I sometimes use it for applying transition color or when I'm not looking for a defined, crease look. I love the amount of control I have with this brush unlike the Mac 224 which I feel is too floppy for crease work and tends to spread color in unwanted areas. If you're looking for a larger brush for all over blending or need a crease brush for larger eyes, than this is the brush for you.
J5523 ($18): Very similar to the Mac 217. A bit softer than my 217, but, let's keep in mind that my 217 is like 6 years old. Both brushes are the same in length and shape, but, the J5523 is a bit flatter while my 217 is a lot fluffier. Does a fantastic job at blending. I usually use it for applying and blending colors in the crease, applying transition color, and/or highlighting the browbone area. If you already have the 217 and are happy with it, there is no need to purchase the J5523, however, If you've never owned a 217, your brush needs replacing, or just aren't completely satisfied with a brush you may have, the J5523 is a better, affordable option.
J116 ($34): The J116 is a small, flat highlighting brush with a slightly tapered edge. I bought this brush for setting my under eye concealer with translucent powder. It works perfectly for that purpose because of its smaller and tapered shape. Not only can this brush be used for highlighting smaller areas of the face like the bridge of the nose, around the eyes etc; but, it could also be used for precisely contouring the cheekbones. A great brush to have in your arsenal.
G5515 ($15): The G5515 is the smallest, pencil brush I've ever owned. It's made up of horse hair, but, it's extremely soft and gentle on the eye area. It is half the size of the Mac 219, but, can be used for various things such as smudging out eyeliner, adding and blending eyeshadow very close to the lash line and can even be used for tight lining. This is my daily go to brush for smudging out my eyeliner. It washes well and keeps its shape through numerous washings. This is a must have, especially, if u find larger pencil brushes too large for your eyes or if you're not looking for an overly, smoked out look.
I'm 100% satisfied with all of my Hakuhodo purchases. It isn't extensive, but, it's enough to keep me happy. I already own enough brushes from Mac, Sephora and Ecotools now adding Hakuhodo to that list. Their customer service is outstanding. They respond promptly to all of my emails and their processing and shipping is extremely fast. I've placed orders in the morning and afternoon and all of them have been shipped the same day and arrived from California to New York City in 2 days. Super fast. If I'm ever in need of any other brushes or need to replace a few, Hakuhodo will be the first place I'll go to.

This is a long review. So hold tight. I have a lot of brushes to talk about.
K002: $82, blue squirrel hair. I use this for loose powder application. Ridiculously soft and picks up the right amount of powder. Has a large, rounded paddle shape. Most expensive brush I have.
K022: $36, black goat hair. I use this for bronzer application. Picks up a good amount of product and the unique paddle shape and size of this brush makes bronzer application easy. Not super soft, but not scratchy either. The brush does have a tendency to spread out, so I would recommend drying this in a brush guard to hold its shape.
G5545: $48, blue squirrel and black goat hair. I use this for blush application for very pigmented blushes. The blue squirrel mix makes it ideal for pigmented blushes because it doesn't pick up a lot of product. The shape is relatively flat and rounded off at the top.
B512: $60, blue squirrel and black goat hair. I use this for blush application for very pigmented blushes. The shape is angled and denser than the G5545. They are built for the same purpose, but for me, I prefer the B512 due to the angled shape. It's also softer than the G5545. However, it's more on the expensive side for a blush brush.
B110: $46, black goat hair. I use this for blush application for sheer blushes. The goat hair and denseness of this brush helps pick up lots of product for sheer blushes. It does have a tendency to spread out, so dry with a brush guard. It has a rounded off, full shape and is fairly soft.
G5521: $34, blue squirrel and black goat hair. I use this for contour application. The shape is tapered and has a small size, perfect for nose and cheekbone contouring. Picks up a fair amount of product and blends it out very nicely. Soft and keeps shape well.
J214: $35, white goat hair. This is the brush I most regret purchasing. I thought it would be great for under eye concealer but its a little bulky and natural hair doesn't blend out concealer as nicely as synthetic. It's too big for my small eyelids to be an eye brush. So it just sits in my stand, unused.
J5523: $18, white goat hair. The MAC 217 dupe but much better. Great for blending out eye shadow or placement. Definite must purchase if thinking about buying from Hakuhodo.
J142: $18, white goat hair. Slightly longer hairs and tapered compared to the J5523. I use this for applying a matte crease wash.
J146: $17, white goat hair. The smaller sibling of the J142. If you have smaller eyes, I would recommend getting this one. The hair is about the same length but the head is not as big or as tapered. Great for applying focused crease color.
J5529: $16, white goat hair. Smaller hairs than all the brushes above. Rounded tip and size makes this ideal for applying a dark outer-v shade, especially for smaller eyes. I would recommend using a brush guard to preserve the shape.
G5529: $21, blue squirrel hair. Even though numbers are the same, the G5529 is more tapered than the J5529 and not as dense. Softer and holds its shape better. I personally use this as an inner corner highlight brush due to the softness and precision I get from it.
G5523: $26, blue squirrel hair. Softer, picks up less product, and less dense than the J5523. Even though this is an eye shadow brush, I use this for setting concealer under the eye because it's soft and the right size.
G5528: $29, blue squirrel hair. Soft and has short hairs that taper to a tip. I use this for application to the outer 1/3 of the eye. This and the J5529 serve the same purpose, but I would reach for this if I want a lighter wash of color or something not as precise. I use the J5529 more. I expected the brush to spread out, yet it kept its shape due to the hair. Wish it was more dense.
G5520: $21, blue squirrel and horse hair. I use this for applying eye shadow to the lower lash line as this is a very soft pencil brush. I was afraid the horse hair would make this brush scratchy, but it's soft and the horse hair just adds a firmness and density to the brush.
G522: $18, weasel. Very small push-style liner brush with longer hairs and flexibility. I bought this for gel eyeliner, but too thick for that. It's too small for eyebrow work, but I have found some success in pin-point concealing.
J163: $18, horse hair. I find this brush not firm enough and too dense for eyebrow application. I was expecting something like the MAC 208 but smaller. This was too soft and flexible for what I wanted. It does work nicely for applying powder eyeliner to your eye.
I have posted more in-depth reviews for the brushes that have their own pages. All in all, Hakuhodo brushes are really outstanding in terms of quality and craftsmanship. The prices vary. I'm a college student, so I stayed with plain black detailing and saved a few bucks. If you order a good amount, they come with a purple box or if you order a couple, they come in a white sleeve.
However, shipping. A $9 flat rate in the U.S. seems steep. I wish they charged depending on where you live because it takes one business day for them to arrive due to being in the same state and on how much the package weighs. The brush handles are small. This comes down to preference. The Hakuhodo inscription on the handles starts to wear off with use (but as with MAC too).
Finally, if you are ready to invest in these brushes, please take care of them. I personally use The Laundress Wool & Cashmere Shampoo (ordered from Amazon). It's 100% biodegradable and sulfate/phosphate/dye free. I've used baby shampoo, a concoction of olive oil and detergent, and Dr. Bronner's soaps, but this is simply the best. It leaves my brushes clean, but most importantly it makes them so, so soft, not like any washing method I've done before. Do not use harsh chemicals on these brushes, especially the ones with blue squirrel hair. Use luke warm water and dry them upside down and use brush guards when/if you can.
All the best!

Hakuhodo definitely makes the best makeup brushes in the world! I recently replaced all my brushes to Hakuhodo after reading all the glory reviews about this brand, and I have to say aren't all you guys right, I don't think I will ever have the need to switch brand again.
The quality of the brushes are superb, although it's also the maker of mac brushes, the quality is uncomparable. The hakuhodo brush looks, feels super luxurious while the mac brush, well... it's just a makeup brush that many brands can easily compare to, and it's definitely over priced for its quality. Also I don't think you need to spend fortune on the S100 Series only for the art work on the brush handle (except for personal collections), if you are only looking for a really good makeup brush, you can find top quality brushes with reasonable price from the J and G series (most are lower priced than mac). It's a shame that hakuhodo is not as well known as those commercial brands like mac or bobbi brown, etc... otherwise people can stop wasting their money on paying the extra for commercials and spend on some thing truly offers its value. I'm so grateful that I discovered this brand on MUA, hopefully more people can find a good use of hakuhodo brushes like I do.

"J602 Slide Face Angled brush". It's a portable/retractable angled contour brush made of white goat hair. I've used it for two weeks so far.
In my world, MAC's 168 is my perfect brush, so it sets the benchmark for my comparisons. I bought the Hakuhodo J602 in hopes of it substituting for my 168 while on the road. Overall, I'm lukewarm to the brush: It isn't quite as springy as I would ideally like, it feels cheap in the hand due to it's lightweight plastic housing and I feel like I have to pick up a lot more product than I'm used to, to get the color payoff that I want. However, it's super compact size, nice blending ability, nice feel on the face and protective case make it a tolerable substitute for my MAC 168 when on the road. Would I repurchase?--probably not. The expense in combination with the cheap in-hand feel of the J602 and Hakuhodo's unfriendly return policy would make the company an option of last resort in my book (seriously, where else can you find a decent angled, retractable blush brush?). I'm an investment buyer...I treat my items well and expect my more pricey items to last years...and this brush is no exception. We'll see how it holds up and I will absolutely update my review if anything changes.
-Measurements at the bulkiest point are taken with the cap on, as if you were traveling with it in your bag: 9.5 cm long, about 3.5 cm wide and about 2.25 cm deep at the cap.
-The base of the brush is about 3 cm wide and about 2 cm deep.
-The overall brush length (including the bristles) while in use is 13 cm.
-Brush head is made of seemingly high quality, soft white goat hair and is about 4 cm tall (maybe just a hair shorter). No problems with shedding.
-Brush housing is made of black plastic which makes the brush extremely lightweight overall, and, unfortunately, cheap feeling. I feel like I need to be careful with it when using it. "HAKUHODO" is engraved into the cap with silver holographic pain. There is plain, black, elevated text on the bottom of the brush: "MADE IN JAPAN" on the first line and "PAT.P" on the second...no one will see this.
$42 + $9 USPS priority shipping = $51. That's a pricey brush. Shipping was timely.
The brush came nicely packaged in a USPS priority box. Inside was a small package wrapped in tissue paper containing the brush in a beautiful pearly-champagne box with "HAKUHODO" embossed in simple silver holographic type and some inserts (one explaining how to care for the brush and that it will probably only last 3-5 years).

I have being eyeing these Japanese brushes for a while and bit the bullet last minute and went to Sydney IMATS. So glad I did as it was good to feel the brushes before committing to buy. Loved the pure blue squirrel brushes, so went a little nuts and got 11 brushes. They are so amazing, I could barely feel them on my eye lid, not like the scratchy Mac 226 which I paid twice as much for.

I have a few brushes from Hakuhodo,
And like everyone else's reviews I agree these are SOFT and very well made. Most of brushes are very reasonably priced, if you go for the less expensive series. I purchased mine in the Torrance CA show room and I asked the sales person why such a big price jump( of 20 dollars or more) for brush heads that look the same.. She said that the brush handle is what you are paying extra for, the brush heads are the same. So I always check to make sure to buy from he cheaper series as I am really only interested in the function of the brush NOT aesthetics. My only recommendation would be to immediately brush on clear nail polish on the logo/model number that is on the brush handle after opening. I love the holographic logo and do this to all my brushes so it doesn't wear off( which it will, and quickly) other than that these brushes are highly recommended!

In its latest iPhone keynote, Apple made a big deal out of the ability to take panoramic photos using iOS 6. Of course, the traditional panoramic photo is horizontal in nature. But what about the vertical panoramic photo. What if you want to capture a tall building or tree? The iPhone camera's panoramic feature works for that too. Here's how to take a vertical panoramic picture with iPhone:
After launching the camera, turn it on its side so it's horizontal. Tap the 'Options' to enable panoramic mode.
Tap 'Panorama' and get your object in sight.
First, tap the camera button. Once you're rolling, slowly move the camera up capturing your object.
When you have panned your camera to the top of your object, hit the camera button and you are finished.

Salt Creek,
If ALL that is keeping you from murdering his grandchildren is some stone-age morality…
Therein lies the fallacy, the "if" part of what you just said is not correct.
Because Pete would rather you keep your silly Bible and not murder his grandchildren, which seems the likely alternative should you drop the only principle which is preventing you from doing so.
The inference about what is likely does not follow because your notion of what prevents me from acting is not the ONLY thing that prevents me from acting.
Pete then urges you to consider an alternative, which implies that you should not murder people because you wouldn't want to be murdered yourself. Get it?
Pete's position was "don't do unto others as you don't want them to do unto you", which reportedly precedes "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
I submit that the former is implied by the latter, which means the latter carries with it all the moral authority of the former, yet also goes beyond mere restraint by calling for justice, love, mercy and grace.

The BBC says that perhaps the most famous American flag ever made is one that currently resides in the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.
This is the huge flag made in 1813. At the time the Americans were fighting the British. As part of an attack strategy the Americans displayed a huge, banner-sized American flag so the British could see it and be shocked by it from a distance.
According to the BBC, the enormous flag was also meant to rally the American soldiers.

Consumer Watchdog today called upon leaders of the House and Senate Commerce committees to hold hearings into the revelation by the EPA that for the first time in American history large numbers of vehicles carried window stickers with false MPG claims. The nonprofit consumer group wrote the EPA one year ago calling for retesting of the Hyundai Elantra after Hyundai's self-tested MPG estimates were far different than many consumers' experiences. Earlier this month, just prior to the presidential election, the EPA announced it had revised MPG claims and window stickers on many Hyundai and Kia vehicles.

NEWPORT BEACH – The city's new $135 million Civic Center, dubbed the "Taj Mahal" by many, was not envisioned in a day.
Nor will it be paid for in a day. By the time the city pays for its dream home – and the cost of financing it over 30 years – the total bill to taxpayers will be at least $237 million, city finance documents show.
"The amount of money spent here is obscene for a Civic Center," said Denys Oberman, a longtime resident and a vocal critic of the project. "With all the infrastructural needs we have, the council, with this project, has indebted our city. This is an example of irresponsibility."
City officials defend the Civic Center and park project as a good investment. Designed to be both smart and beautiful, the finished product will be energy-efficient and durable enough to last a century, officials say.
"We get defensive about it because we see it as a once-in-a-lifetime project – and five or six projects in one," City Manager Dave Kiff said. "People forget that. They say, 'It's just a city hall.' ... I think some of them will change their minds when they see the site, use the building, walk in the park. I would hope people would withhold their judgment until they see it and use it."
A review of the project's planning documents, contracts, invoices and change orders by the Orange County Register shows how the cost of the project tripled from an estimated $46 million in 2005 to a final projected cost closer to $139 million today.
•The scope of the project expanded from a new city hall, parking garage and upgraded fire station at the site of the old city hall on Balboa Peninsula, as envisioned in 2005, to a sprawling Civic Center on a park-like plot of ocean-view land just below Newport Center. Voters approved the site change in 2008, paving the way for the more ambitious project.
•City interest groups, including law enforcement and library officials, the public, and council members, asked for expensive additions to the project, including a community room, an emergency-readiness center, an expanded library, sculpture gardens, a pedestrian bridge, and a dog park.
•The city is funding most of the project with certificate-of-participation bonds that will cost taxpayers at least $225 million to repay principal and interest and will not be retired until 2040. If the city fails to get expected federal subsidies on the bonds, the cost will climb to $278 million.
For its money, Newport Beach will get a 95,000-square-foot, energy-efficient office building that includes council chambers and a community room, an emergency-readiness center in the basement, a 17,000-square-foot expansion of the Central Library, a 450-space parking garage sunk into the ground to preserve ocean views, 16 acres of parks including a pedestrian bridge, a Civic Green and public art, according to a presentation available on the city's website.
The sprawling glass and steel Civic Center will be topped with a wavelike roof and furnished with high-end furniture and fixtures, including 204 leather Herman Miller chairs designed by modernist designers Charles and Ray Eames, at a cost of $1,073 each, according to city invoices.
Even the lawns will be carefully decorated, according to cost breakdowns prepared by the city. The city plans to pay $902 for professionals to pose15 rabbit sculptures at the site.
Assistant City Manager Steve Badum, the project manager for the city, said the project is being built at a time when construction and finance costs are low.
"When we look at this project several years from now, it will seem like a pretty good bargain," Badum said.

Graduate School USA bringing EA back into vogue
Friday - 3/1/2013, 2:04pm EST
Enterprise architecture is coming back in vogue. That's a sentence many cringe at and others run away from screaming with visions of line diagrams and shelfware.
But the Graduate School USA — formerly known as the USDA Graduate School — sees the future and enterprise architecture is playing bigger role based on what the initiatives from the Office of Management and Budget.
"Enterprise architecture is an extremely important program. Scott Bernard, the U.S. federal architect, recently released the new models for FEA 2 and we've also seen the release of the common approach," said Brian Moran, a lecturer at the graduate school, who is helping to develop the new EA curriculum. "OMB now is placing a lot of emphasis on enterprise architecture where they haven't most recently in the past couple of years. I think with the release of the common approach, with the release of the new FEA models, you will see more integration into PortfolioStat and the other activities OMB is engaged in."
As EA is making a re-emergence, Moran said cloud computing and cybersecurity remain among the most popular courses for chief information officers and their IT staffs at the Graduate School USA. The Graduate School USA was formerly known at the USDA Graduate School for the last 90 years until it changed its name and became a non-profit in February 2009.
This special edition of Ask the CIO is part of Federal News Radio's special report Top Leaders in Federal Service.
"The majority of students are federal employees and it includes a broad spectrum of people just starting their careers ranging all the way up to the top-ranked Senior Executive Service members," said Moran, who spent time in government as the director of IT services for the International Trade Commission and worked at the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis, and now is CEO of Government CIO, a consulting company. "It's a broad range and they come to the school to either advance their careers or if they are in a leadership positions, they are trying to utilize the graduate school's training to refine their management skills or to try to enhance the effectiveness they have over departments."
The school offers dozens of IT and management courses-which can be done in person or online, during the day or at night — ranging from A+ Certification to Web design and programming to desktop publishing. Additionally, the Graduate School also leadership development, government training and professional development, and a host of other courses focused on skills and capabilities federal employees would need to be successful.
Moran said many times agencies pay for the courses through purchase orders and they cost anywhere a few hundred dollars or more.
"A large number of the instructors at the graduate school are current or past federal employees," he said. "They can not only certification courses and contextualize them, but they can take some of the higher level, thought leading courses like cloud computing or enterprise architecture, and wrap them up in a way that would allow the students to be higher functioning students in a federal environment."
Cloud computing is one of those high level courses. Moran said CIOs are sending their staffs to ensure they understand how to move systems to the cloud, how to secure the cloud and many of the other aspects that come with changing to this latest technology.
Moran said CIOs and staff split a lot of their time between technology courses and management courses.
"Courses have to be changed substantially over time," he said. "What happens is the Graduate School will reassess their curriculum on a periodic basis. It's a group of really smart people who get together to put together the content. The content then has to be reviewed to make sure it's academically sound. Once the content is reviewed and approved, then it goes through an editorial process to make sure it's clean, without issues, it's pretty, it's pleasing and delivered in a sound manner to the students." Moran said the new courses around EA is going through this process now and should be ready in the next few months.

1.2 Progress to degree
To earn a Ph.D you must pass specific milestones in a timely fashion. It will be difficult to keep on track if you do not meet frequently with your advisor. Toward this end, supervisors should discuss the following topics with grad students. If your supervisor has not thoroughly covered all of these topics with you, seize the initiative and raise the issue.
-> Writing research articles
-> Attending professional meetings
-> Evaluating research seminars
-> Grantspersonship
-> Keeping laboratory notebooks
-> Creating visual aidsand presentations
-> Writing letters of recommendation
-> Speaking to multi-cultural audiences
As you move along your path, document your every move. The importance of keeping records of your thoughts and decisions in research--and notes of important conversations with your mentors--cannot be overemphasized. As you encounter problems in your research you need counsel from superiors. Write down what they recommend. You will also increasingly be in the position of giving advice to subordinates. Should you later find yourself in a situation requiring you to recall exact details of your decisions or conversations, the road will be much easier if you have careful notes. In doubt as to whether to write something down? Err on the side of caution.

Yeah lets trade him for the prize behind door number 3. It could very well be another Vazquez, but it is newer and shinier. Yeah, and then when that one gets old, lets trade him for a shiny new prize.
Come on guys. Can't this site go one day without "lets trade Joe Blow." Joe has been putting in the time, leave him be.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Plenty of NBA pg's can't guard other NBA pg's. For all his defensive praise, CP3 couldn't guard NBA pg's, he just played lanes and new his spots. Not much to it. Not every pg is going to play def. like Rondo or D-Will.
Vasquez isn't a scrub, and he is only getting better. For a 4th or 5th best player in your starting 5 you could do much worse.
I doubt Monty and Del are prancing Vasquez out there to embarrass him. They would have benched him long ago if they didn't think he was up to the task. The thing is, he doesn't have to be all world, or even all New Orleans to thrive in this system. As long as the bigs are on, nobody is shooting 1.000 from behind the arc, and he can keep being him.
lopez is also fifth in blocks as well

Paul has become one of the best defenders in the league at his positions and is easily a better on the ball defender than D-Will at this point.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Trade him too. Rather see Rivers at the point once Gordon is back.
Vasquez is starting because there is nobody else. Right now they're still trying to Win while they're developing the youth.
I'm sorry i don't care how good you think we look with Austin in the lineup vs how bad we look with just Vasquez there, he is not ready to be a starting point guard, offensively or defensively.
He needs to play the 2 and work out of his shooting slump and understand the NBA 3 point line isn't his range yet, stay inside of it for now and work on it in practice. But he does need to play some point because of Vasquez's lack of a lot of things.
Back to Vasquez, his fan boys need to stop acting like he's just manufacturing these assist out of no where, pulling a Chris Paul and making scrubs look good.
In transition he gets easy assist from Aminu and Davis, easy tosses to AD becomes easy dimes in GV's pocket, he has those handoffs to Ryno, you have a 3pt shooter like that you're going to rack up those assists on even the low percentage shots. Jason Smith is almost automatic from 16'. These guys are just open, he's not breaking down the defense to get them easy looks.
Even Lopez has become somewhat of an automatic assist when you get it to him in the lane, facing the basket or in hook range.
Those have been some of the easiest big assist games of i have ever seen. The guy is not generating offense for inept offensive players, they guy is getting credited for assists for easy passes to guys who are really good at what they do best.
You add all that up with the fact that average to below average point guards abuse him on defense then you come with idea that if you can get somebody to read into his stat sheet and want him in a deal for anything good, then you deal him.
It's kind of like how Rondo racked up 18 assists some nights cuz he's playing with 3 other Hall of Famers. Easy handoffs to Ray Allen for 3. Pick and pops with Garnett. Hitting Pierce backdoor. I no longer consider him overrated, but his assists are inflated.
I don't think we should trade Vasquez at all, but we'd be a LOT better off if we could find someone good enough to push him to the bench.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Could we do better than Vasquez? You will never hear me say no. For the price however I will say no. People want to poo poo on what GG does and that is fine, but he is doing as well as asked. He is playing with a lot of unproven talent around him so comparing his stats to Rondo is bunk, and saying he isn't creating is bunk too. Until (on a night in, night out basis) our scorers come to play you have to respect what Vasquez does. He is not CP3 but neither are any of the other starting pg's not named Chris Paul. He is good enough.
On a side note, Shanle is why 50% of Saints fans are fans and not coaches. Shanle is fine. He isn't Ricky Jackson or LT but the guy is steady. The guy is always playing because the coaches will take his consistent c+ talent, and a+ determination over a+ talent and d- consistency which is what we have been getting from the guys brought in to replace Shanle. The guy isn't a star but he is solid, and that is what every team has. He is the Vaughn Johnson (enter any 3rd or 4th best lb in a 4-3 or 3-4 system) of our lb group. I wish we had. Better lb unit but I would replace others before him.
Scott Shanle sucks ... I'm amazed he is still playing NFL football
Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!
That is, Rondon hands the ball to Ray Allen from 4 feet away from, he sinks the 3, thats an assist, But the work was done by allen moving with out the ball, getting wide open and making the shot, Rondo didn't screw it up by taking shot himself or trying to get creative in another direction with the ball. The same thing applied to Pierce with the all around game and Garnett at the rim and with the 16 footer.
And i'm sorry but are you saying that GV's stats could be on par with Rondo's, if he only had proven talent? And our scorers don't come to play every night so he deserves respect, for what? His play was the reason we lost to the Pacers, His play was the reason the Bobcats game stayed tight, If he hadn't let Parker control the game we could have beaten the Spurs.
Yeah he deserves respect for not dragging the team down completely to his pace and keeping up enough to not blow chances for our play makers to make plays. He's a back up with an edge, but just based on talent he shouldn't be in the league.
If you say that Vasquez is making things happen for AD, Aminu, Anderson and Smith then you're crazy. He can't create for himself, things have to be just right for him to score, like Gordon Hayward falling down on the game winning shot. If he doesn't fall he rides Vasquez right out of bounds, he should have passed back to Anderson After the pick.
There are times when he starts to feel himself and that feeling will cost this team games, because he doesn't have the talent to support that feeling.
And yeah, i said it, he's not creating for anybody. I don't know what you're looking at, but those guys are finding their on spots on the floor and giving GV easy passes to make and right now he's doing what he's suppose to do, complete the play. So if you want to say he's creating go right ahead, but i'll call it what it is, we have some great young talent and GV is blowing it with them most of the time.
I love GV's passion for the game, desire to win and it looks like he's a good team player, but i expect nothing less from a guy who wants to play in the league, but his talent doesn't justify it. Those guys all have those qualities, if they're in the league. I want Vasquez coming off my bench, but i don't want him going up against starters on a night to night basis, hell, i don't want him going up against any super subs on a night to night basis.
To me the best out look is you have a legitimate starting PG, and GV and someone else split time at the the back up PG, depending on who we're playing and who he would be guarding.
@ NemesisKing, Agreed!

How is this like Rondo? Where are the 3 all stars that Vasquez plays next to? He has 1 guy he can count on so far in Anderson, and thats it. While Rivers and Davis might be stars as the season progresses, Vasquez has been dishing to Anderson, Al, and Lopez, not Garnett, Allen, and Pierce. No stars here, so the Rondo comparison is bunk. If Vasquez had talent like that on this team he would have much better stats, buts its not like he has the most reliable, or well gelled cast around him. We are still in early days, so the fact he has these stats with such a cast of un-gelled talent is impressive.
I am not saying he is creating like CP3, but nobody but cp3 is creating like cp3. I am not saying he is a great pg, or even a good pg, but he is doing his job like Shanle. Vasquez is playing very well in the system as is. Maybe if Gordon ever comes back, and Davis and Rivers stay healthy, Vasquez's stats will go through the roof, but as it is, I am happy with what we are getting, as opposed to wondering what could be if we had something else. For our current teams needs Vasquez is fine.
The comparison isn't bunk because it's only a comparison, something I call similar. Never said one was equal to the other.
I rather have guys who stats can be through the roof because of his on game, how he plays, not because of other guys. In the Nba right now, A good point guard needs great talent around him, just being good isn't enough if you only have okay, good talent or your team is young and developing. Your PG is your floor general, he has to set the pace and dictate to the defense your tempo and if the defense has found a way to stop you from getting your guys their looks then you have to be able to hit your open shots, penetrate and score, get to the line and make them pay.
Force them to respect your game and play you accordingly.
From what i read, GV will be 26 in January. He's not Great, he's not good, he's just okay bench guy, and talent wise that's as good as he's going to get and thats totally fine. He may become a more solid version of himself. Meaning learning his limitations, believing in running the offense and only taking with the defense gives you and not trying to play outside of your god given ability.
He can work on his handles more so he won't lose the ball when pressured, work on becoming annoyingly automatic at the free throw line and he can work on his 3pt shot. Doing that can keep him the league for 10+ years as a key role player. But no, not as a starting PG or even a 6th man. He doesn't have the athletic ability or motor to be that guy in the league right now with the PGs that are playing now.
We will get a taste of it next week when we play the Thunder, you know what Westbrook is going to do to him and it won't be pretty. And the worse part about it is RW won't even have to work hard on defense, so his legs are going be strong all game long.
You don't need a great pg to win a title. Heck you can win a title with avg. pg play.
All that said, there aren't an abundance of amazing (or even good pg's) on the market, and I think Del and Monty realize this. So we will be starting GV until one does become available, or Rivers puts it all together. No reason to mortgage your team for a good pg, when there aren't but a handful of pg's that can change your franchise.

It was quite a week for our nation and the Supreme Court.
Three pretty big decisions came down the pike, two concerning gay marriage and one dealing with voter rights. It has been interesting to not only see the decisions themselves, but also the reactions of people across the political spectrum.
Several questions come to mind. One day after the high court filleted the Voting Rights Act, they handed down significant losses to those fighting against gay marriage.
What do these two decisions mean about our country's current views of justice? Has there been a major shift when it comes to thinking about social equity?
On the one hand, I'm not sure slicing and dicing the Voting Rights Act was the right thing to do. I understand the "publicly-given" answer by Chief Justice John Roberts.
In handing down the majority opinion, Roberts said, "Our country has changed, and while any racial discrimination in voting is too much, Congress must ensure that the legislation it passes to remedy that problem speaks to current conditions."
Honestly, I kind of understand the thinking here, however everyone didn't see it that way.
U.S. Rep. John Lewis was born to sharecroppers in Alabama in 1940 and marched with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. To him, the high court's decision — which he said "stuck a dagger into the heart of the Voting Rights Act" — is much more personal.
"These men never stood in unmovable lines," said Lewis of the justices, referring to voter registration ques that never moved. "They were never denied the right to participate in the democratic process. They were never beaten, jailed, run off their farms or fired from their jobs. No one they knew died simply trying to register to vote. They are not the victims of gerrymandering or contemporary unjust schemes to maneuver them out of their constitutional rights."
I understand this as well: have we really come that far as a country that we can sweep away the safeguards against racially-based voter fraud? I hope so, but I'm skeptical.
Voting districts, voter registration and some of the other related voting issues are currently on the shady side in this country. And when combined with being run with less oversight — or oversight at the local level — doesn't help me feel confident.
I'm sorry but local governments throughout the South do not exactly have sterling records when it comes to fair play when it comes to elections. Our voting districts are a sham; apparently, gerrymandering is OK these days. And I am not saying one side or the other is at fault here — I'm saying both sides are at fault here.
There is a swell in certain regions of the country these days that state and local governments can more effectively run their respective areas than the federal government. While I am no fan of Big Brother, I am also a realist. No facet of American society has been more corrupt than local Southern governments throughout American history.
Pick a social issue and most Southern local governments have been behind the curve throughout our history. Slavery? Pretty clear-cut case. Civil Rights? Women's suffrage? It took federal intervention for us to allow equality on all of these issues.
If those issues are too old for you, then how about gay marriage, abortion or immigration? Where will the Southern states come out on these social issues when our children look back?
Have times truly changed? Are we to the point we can trust these organizations fully or is this swell of faith in state and local governments just sour grapes for not winning at the national level? I don't know.
I know this much: I truly hope Justice Roberts' words are true … I truly hope we have changed.

Dear Santa Claus: I have been a good little travel editor this year.
I love Paris, Rome and Berlin, but this year I passed on the usual suspects and opted instead for Istanbul, Athens and Moscow.
My overriding theme this year was "what's new for me."
New places or new spots in old places. I went to four new countries: Greece, Turkey, Ukraine and Bulgaria. In Portland, Ore., I stayed in a new neighborhood (Nob Hill), and on visits to London and Washington, D.C., I opted for new discoveries instead of old favorites, which resulted in sleeping in a converted train station in one and decamping across the Potomac in another.
I was nice to people whether they were grumpy (Moscow), thought I was invisible (New York City) or greeted me with depressed carping about unending rain (London, Honolulu and just about everywhere in Oregon). I paid less than $3 a gallon for gasoline in Houston and nearly $6 a gallon in Lanai. I went on the newest airliner in the world, the Boeing 787, but also drove a mud-splattered Jeep with 75,000 very hard miles, doors that jammed, a sand-stuffed CD player and brakes that earned it the nickname "Squeaky" throughout my trip.
I bought a bronzed fig leaf to symbolize making peace with traffic in Los Angeles, rental car taxes, cold room service food, airline fuel surcharges, TSA agents going on break during long lines, and the uniquely Soviet-style bureaucracy of applying for a Russian visa (name every country you have visited in the past 10 years, with the dates of the visits and the reason).
So Santa, all I ask for Christmas is that my travels in 2013 be a lot like these from 2012:
Most beautiful place: Santorini, Greece. Yes, it is overrun with tourists every day. Yes, the famous bay created by an ancient volcano imploding fills up with bulbous cruise ships. True, there's hardly a shop that doesn't cater to tourists. But some places are on the beaten path for a reason. Santorini, with its white houses, steep black cliffs, blue-domed orthodox churches – all above a deep electric blue sea – cannot be ruined. It is eternally sublime.
Favorite foreign city: Istanbul. It's hard for me to believe that it took me so long to visit the city that along with Rome and Jerusalem so effortlessly shows the passing of the ages. I was especially entranced by the Hagia Sophia, the great Christian cathedral that was converted into a mosque when the city fell to the Turks, ending the last vestiges of the Roman Empire. I arrived and left by sea, through the Dardanelles and the Bosporus, the narrow channels where so many trying to capture the city met defeat.
Favorite U.S. city: Alexandria, Va. From the French and Indian Wars to Robert E. Lee to the Doors' Jim Morrison's childhood, every foot of old town Alexandria has a story to tell. Plus the Federalist period buildings are filled with great restaurants and coffeehouses. I only stayed there early this summer because of the ludicrous prices at D.C. hotels across the Potomac. Now I think I would prefer to stay there and use the easy subway connections into the capital.
Favorite tourist trap: Lenin's Tomb, Moscow. The great revolutionary still lurks, rubbery and pink, inside his huge mausoleum on Red Square. Admission is free, though everyone has to keep moving as they pass by the stern visage of a man who died 90 years ago. We beat the Soviets to the moon, but they won the Embalming Race. Russians are debating whether to keep Lenin in his place or bury the past with the man.
Favorite souvenir: Evil-eye charms, Greece and Turkey. Discs, usually ceramic, that look like a blue eye, meant to ward off evil spirits. Regardless of whether it was a Christian or Muslim country, the charms were there. They hung on bus drivers' rear-view mirrors, in restaurant doorways and on baby strollers. Sizes ranging from manhole cover to key-chain bob were on sale.
Favorite people-watching: Saturday in Odessa, Ukraine. In a perfect world, every day of a travel trip would be a Saturday. Odessa's main park was full of families on late summer walks or saddling their toddlers up on miniature ponies for a walk around the gardens. War veterans met for coffee atop the famous Potemkin Steps above the harbor, and a woman was trying very hard to look like Paris Hilton – right down to the pink outfit and small Chihuahua. But the kicker was that on every corner, there seemed to be brides, brides, brides. Some were actually getting married, others posing with their husbands-to-be or solo at the opera house, war memorial or other spots. Times are tough in Ukraine, but on Saturday there is still time for love, family and fun.
Favorite foreign hotel: Renaissance St. Pancras, London. I've been waiting for this grand, Gothic, 1880s rail hotel to be resurrected. The long-delayed plans finally became reality last year when the former Great Western Hotel reopened after a half century of decay and near-demolition. The red and white turrets and clock towers are a throwback to a muscular era when Britain ruled the world and the trains ruled Britain.
Favorite U.S. hotel: Magnolia Hotel, Houston. The fact that the hotel is the former headquarters of the Houston Post newspaper would be enough to get me in the doors, but once inside I found a sleek boutique hotel within walking distance to both Minute Maid Park, the home of the Houston Astros, and the arts district with its Italian coffeehouses, "buy local" produce markets and concert halls.

This is a wonderful frangrance. It has a citus/fruity and spicy scent. It is great for lasting power. I tends to be initially strong but drys down to a soft sutle smell. It is great for those who want to smell great but not aggravate others around you. It is also romantic, clean and warm. Those who like citus/fruit and spice will enjoy this scent.

Every second Wednesday of the month, the Museum of the Confederacy and the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park are partnering to bring the Civil War Sesquicentennial to Appomattox. Each month, a knowledgable speaker will lead a discussion on a topic or event's 150th anniversary. The talks take place at the Museum of the Confederacy-Appomattox
On April 9, 1864, LTG U.S. Grant, the newly appointed commander of all Union ground forces, issued orders to his army commanders describing his intent to conduct simultaneous offensive operations against all major Confederate armies. Among his most trusted lieutenants was MG W.T. Sherman, now commander of the Union Army's Department of Mississippi. Join Joe Megginson to hear how Sherman's execution of his orders resulted in his capture of Atlanta, GA, and inspired his subsequent decision to "make Georgia howl" by engaging in "total war" across the south.
