The color and shine were fine but I couldn't wear this gloss. It was too irritating to my lips! I found I had to wipe it off and put on a different lip moisturizer to help my lips recover. :(
This is by far my favorite product ever received in a Birchbox! Love, love, love it! And recommend it for all. Is simply a must have for every woman, great tint, great shine and doesn't dry out my lips!
This lip gloss is great. Benefit did it again. I love the quality, color, and texture of this lip gloss.
Perfect color, not sticky and just the right size for your purse. Benefit is a quality product and it was an amazing surprize to get this awesome sample in my box. I will definitely be ordering once I finish this, a must-have as far as I'm concerned!
This color is fantastic on my pale skin. The consistency is perfect, spreads nicely and is not at all sticky.
Love this product. I always like getting lipgloss in my box and this one was great. Sample is small but it's perfect to carry around. Smells good, color is good, and it's not sticky.
I very much enjoyed this lip gloss. Often lip gloss becomes sticky and dries out my lips, but this one had neither of those problems. I also liked that it was sheer enough that I could apply it without a mirror if I needed.
Beautiful light pink shade and so soft on lips! This is great everyday wear. The scent is very light, but just perfect to freshen up during the day or start your morning. Love this product!
This gloss has very little color, so it can be in your purse or car for touch up all day! It was a hit with me.
Not a big fan of lip gloss but this little sample was super cute - love the packaging and easy to just throw in to any bag or clutch. I tone it down by dabbing my lips lightly with a tissue after applying it. Would love to receive other Benefit products in future boxes.

Departing Chelsea winger Joe Cole has admitted his admiration for Serie A.
Cole has been linked with AC Milan and Lazio since the end of last season.
"Every team I played for want to hit the front players as early as possible," he conceded.
The England midfielder is now a free agent after Carlo Ancelotti opted not to keep him on at Chelsea.
"I'm thinking about my own future now. I want to play in a more central position, like I did at West Ham," he told Sky Sports.
"I feel I've got a lot more still to offer and my best days are ahead of me. I want the right kind of manager - a manager who loves me, who will put me in the team.
"At Chelsea there were players who could have two or three dreadful games before they were left out. I only had to have a dreadful 20 minutes and I was out."

To confirm the safety of your baby's mattress or crib, contact the Consumer Product Safety Commission at 800-638-2772 or www.cpsc.gov.
Don't Smoke Around Your Baby
If you smoke, here's a huge reason to stop before you get pregnant: Babies born to women who smoked during pregnancy die from SIDS three times more often than babies born to nonsmokers. Smoking when you're pregnant is a major risk factor for SIDS, and secondhand smoke around your infant also increases the chances of SIDS. Don't let anyone smoke around your baby.
Keep Your Sleeping Baby Close, but Not in Your Bed
When a baby sleeps in the same room as mom, studies show it lowers the risk of SIDS. But it's dangerous for a baby to sleep with another child or an adult in the same bed, in an armchair, and on a couch.
If you bring your baby into your bed for comforting or breastfeeding, be sure to put the baby back in his own cradle, bassinet, or crib when you're ready to sleep.
Never bring the baby to bed with you when you're very tired or using medicines that affect your sleep.
Breastfeed as Long as You Can
Breastfeeding your baby can lower the risk of SIDS by as much as 50%, though experts aren't sure why. Some think breast milk may protect babies from infections that raise their SIDS risk. Do not drink alcohol if you breastfeed, because that raises your baby's risk of SIDS.
Immunize Your Baby
Evidence shows babies who've been immunized in accordance with recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC have a 50% reduced risk of SIDS compared with babies who aren't fully immunized.
Consider Using a Pacifier to Put Baby to Sleep
Putting your baby to sleep with a pacifier may also help prevent SIDS, though researchers aren't sure why. There are a few tips to follow when using a pacifier:
- If you're breastfeeding, wait until your baby is breastfeeding regularly (at least 1 month old) before starting to use a pacifier. Introducing a pacifier too soon can lead to nipple confusion and cause your baby to prefer the pacifier's nipple over your own.
- Don't force your baby to take the pacifier if he doesn't want it.
- Put the pacifier in your baby's mouth when you put him down to sleep, but don't put it back in his mouth after he falls asleep.
- Keep the pacifier clean, and buy a new one if the nipple is damaged.
- Don't coat the pacifier with honey, alcohol, or any other substance.

Two Canon products honored with prestigious European Imaging and Sound Association awards
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 20 August 2014 Release date- 18082014 - TOKYO, Japan -Canon Inc. announced today that two of the company's photo-imaging products-a digital SLR camera and digital video camcorder-have been honored with prestigious product awards by the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA).
The EOS 1200D (EOS Rebel T5 or EOS Kiss X70 in other regions) was named European Consumer DSLR Camera 2014-2015 while the LEGRIA mini X (VIXIA mini X) was crowned European Lifestyle Camcorder 2014-2015. To date, Canon products and technologies have won a total of 61 EISA titles on 29 occasions and have received awards every year over the past 26 years.
European Consumer DSLR Camera 2014-2015: EOS 1200D (EOS Rebel T5 or EOS Kiss X70 in other regions) European Lifestyle Camcorder 2014-2015: LEGRIA mini X (VIXIA mini X) .
The annual EISA awards are voted for by a panel of editors representing 50 special-interest magazines from across 20 European countries. The awards celebrate products that were released in Europe during the past year that combine the most advanced technologies, covetable features, cutting-edge design and outstanding value. Started in 1982, this year marks the EISA awards' 33rd year.
European Consumer DSLR Camera 2014-2015: EOS 1200D Named European Consumer DSLR Camera 2014-2015, the compact, lightweight Canon EOS 1200D realizes enhanced ease of use, making it an ideal entry-level digital SLR camera for both 'newcomers to photography and experienced users on a budget.' Featuring an approximately 18-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and Canon's DIGIC 4 image processor, the camera delivers 'high-quality images with good dynamic range and low noise up to ISO 1,600 and beyond.' About EOS Companion, the company's free dedicated smartphone application for the European market, the EISA jury panel noted it helps users to 'get the most out of the camera.' Additionally, according to the judges, the EOS 1200D offers 'exceptional value for money' thanks to such additional features as a 460,000-dot LCD screen, a 63-zone dual-layer metering sensor, in-camera lens correction and a range of creative filters.
European Lifestyle Camcorder 2014-2015: LEGRIA mini X Winner of the European Lifestyle Camcorder 2014-2015 award, the diminutive Canon LEGRIA mini X takes its predecessor's 'original innovative concept even further.' Called 'multi-talented' by the EISA jury panel, the digital creative camcorder was recognized for its rotating touch screen display, 'ideal for taking video 'selfies,'' as well as its adjustable stand enabling placement on any surface and ultra-wide-angle 170-degree lens that 'captures all the action.' Incorporating an f/2.8 lens and 1/2.3-type 12.8-megapixel CMOS sensor, the LEGRIA mini X delivers Full HD video in both AVCHD (50i) and MP4 (25p) codecs while an internal microphone allows the recording of uncompressed stereo LPCM audio. The camcorder enables the easy transfer of files thanks to its 'generous' connectivity options, including a 3.5 mm jack for an external microphone, a headphone terminal, plus mini HDMI and mini USB, as well as support for Wi-Fi, which also enables operation from a smart device. Concluding its assessment of the LEGRIA mini X, the EISA jury said, 'Genuinely flexible, this is a perfect partner for your everyday adventures.' (c) 2014 Electronic News Publishing -

I have no idea whether there's any truth or likelihood in this article, but I would appreciate hearing from anybody who has relevant information:
If the situation forecast by the writer materializes, of course, it will pose a real problem to the Church. But there may be nothing to it.
By the way: The author's language reflects a somewhat harsher attitude than mine, and he and I have clashed previously, so nobody needs to excoriate me for his perceived sins, thank you very much.

D.C. Family Court:
Progress Has Been Made in Implementing Its Transition
GAO-04-234: Published: Jan 6, 2004. Publicly Released: Jan 6, 2004.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-8403
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The D.C. Family Court Act (P.L. 107-114) mandated that GAO examine the performance of the D.C. Family Court. GAO addressed the following objectives: (1) What procedures were used to make judicial appointments to the Family Court and what effect did qualification requirements have on appointment timeframes? (2) How timely was the Family Court in meeting established timeframes for transferring and resolving abuse and neglect cases, and what impact did magistrate judges have on the workload of judges and other personnel? (3) What progress has the D.C. Courts made in procuring permanent space? And (4) What progress have the Superior Court and District agencies made in sharing data from their computer systems? To address these objectives, GAO analyzed court data on its timeliness in resolving cases, reviewed the Family Court Act, applicable District laws, and reports required by the act; reviewed documents regarding the Family Court's progress in acquiring permanent space and those related to sharing data from the computer systems of the Superior Court and the District; and interviewed relevant District, Superior Court, and Family Court officials. In commenting on this report, the Superior Court agreed with our conclusions and cited additional progress. The Deputy Mayor for Children, Youth, Families, and Elders clarified the roles and responsibilities of various District offices.
The Superior Court and the District of Columbia used established procedures to appoint magistrate and associate judges to the Family Court, but an issue related to qualification requirements and other factors delayed appointments. One nominee expressed some reluctance to meeting Family Court training requirements. A second nominee was found to have had delinquent tax filing issues a few years prior to his nomination. The Senate Committee charged with approving the nominees determined that these issues were adequately resolved, but chose to defer their confirmation until other Superior Court nominees were approved. The Family Court met its statutory deadlines for transferring cases into the court from other Superior Court divisions and closed 620, or 19 percent, of these cases. The court has also decreased the timeframes for resolving abuse and neglect matters and magistrate judges have played a key role in handling cases. Several factors, however, such as shortages of substance abuse treatment services, posed barriers to achieving Family Court goals. To accommodate the operations of the Family Court, D.C. Courts--comprised of all components of the District's judiciary branch--has made progress in procuring permanent space for the Family Court. This new space, expected to be complete in late 2009, will consolidate 76 percent of the Family Court functions and associated personnel. The Superior Court and the District of Columbia have made progress in exchanging data from their respective information systems. In August 2003, the Superior Court implemented the Integrated Justice Information System, which is used to manage its cases and exchange data with other agencies. Although the District has developed a model to enable the exchange of data between various District agencies and the court, it has not fully resolved several critical issues we reported in August 2002. The District plans to address these issues as it incorporates solutions into the plans it is developing to modernize District agency computer systems.

Some salmon make one heck of a commute.
The record holder in the Pacific Northwest, for example, is a steelhead that was tagged in the Clearwater River, Idaho, in April 2003. A year and a half later, it was caught off the southern Kuril Islands near Japan. The most direct route between those two points as the crow flies, as they say is 4,200 miles. Imagine fish that make it that far then turn around and travel back to their home streams in order to spawn.
The ability of salmon to migrate such extraordinary distances makes it hard at a management level to know whose fish are whose and at a biological level to unravel the mystery of their ocean migration.
A $4.1 million effort just launched by the University of Washington's School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences aims to help by gathering genetic information for thousands upon thousands of Pacific Rim salmon populations and creating open-access databases for managers, treaty-makers and scientists.
Jim and Lisa Seeb, known for their groundbreaking work identifying salmon populations using genetic markers, joined the UW this fall as research professors. Genetic markers are key bits of a fish's DNA that, when compared to the same spots on the DNA of other fish, can reveal if they are from the same population or not.
Genetic markers are being employed to study the human genome. The process, sometimes referred to as DNA fingerprinting in humans, could be called DNA "fin-printing" for fish when a bit of tissue from a fin is used for the analysis.
Prior to genetic markers, fisheries scientists primarily relied on capturing young fish, putting metal or plastic tags on them and then releasing them in hopes they would be caught by a fisherman willing to return the tags to scientists.
Discerning which rivers and lakes salmon came from can be crucial when, for instance, countries negotiate fishing agreements or local managers decide if they should curtail fishing because high numbers of

I recently led a team building exercise in which different teams had 90 minutes to assemble 13 bicycles for donation to the Boys and Girls Club of Lake County in Illinois. After correctly answering trivia questions, each team was given the necessary parts, tools and instructions. Good natured taunting, not surprisingly, ensued. But recognizing the time limitations and the task at hand, we quickly got to work. In the end, a series of well-deserving kids received new bicycles, along with locks ... Read More >

Millennials (those born between 1980 and 2000) are leading this trend as they, more than any other generation in the workforce, are most likely to want employers to play an active role in supporting their overall health and well-being, according to a 2014 survey by Aon Hewitt and the National Business ...

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is widely considered one of the most polarizing pieces of legislation to come out of Washington, D.C., in recent years. Since its 2010 introduction, support for—and opposition to—the law has been sharply divided along partisan lines. Yet one tenet of the ACA—the provisions concerning workplace wellness programs—has consistently received wide bipartisan support. The ACA establishes new incentives and builds upon existing wellness program regulations to promote employer wellness programs and encourage opportunities to support healthier workplaces. Workers ...

Posted on Jan 21, 2015 | Written by Michele Clark | Comments (0)
Ideally, health care workers would be a model of good health—leading by example with healthy lifestyles. However, it's a surprising fact: Health care workers are among the unhealthiest in the American workforce. A study from Truven Health Analytics found that compared to the U.S. workforce, health care employees and their dependents rate lower for completing preventive screenings, are 46 percent more likely to be diagnosed with obesity and 20 percent more likely to be diagnosed with ...

Three questions to ask—and answer—to jumpstart your corporate wellness program
Posted on Nov 12, 2014 | Written by Ann Wyatt | Comments (2)
Once you build the gleaming gym, hire first-rate coaches and provide lucrative incentives, your company will have the perfect workplace health management program, right? Wrong. First, there is no "perfect." Second, while you are waiting for perfect, you end up with no program—or at best, a mediocre one. "Better a flawed diamond than a perfect pebble," as Confucius is credited with saying. One thing is certain: There is no flawless design. If you set your sights on the "perfect" program, you set yourself ... Read More >

Corporate support drives employee wellness programs
Posted on Oct 27, 2014 | Written by Jennifer Genal | Comments (0)
According to Towers Watson research, nearly half of employers believe that health and productivity programs are essential to their workplace—and 84 percent plan to increase support of these programs over the next two years. However, only three in 10 employers state that they have effectively communicated a strategy and value proposition, making it difficult for employees to understand the purpose of these programs and their roles in them. Companies are beginning to understand the importance and ... Read More >
Worksite wellness activates aging workforces to do well

2015 will be a milestone year for me as well as for Katarina Witt, Mario Lemieux and a couple of my favorite football players: Rod Woodson and Greg Lloyd from the Pittsburgh Steelers. We all turn 50 next year! We're part of the aging in America trend. In fact, each year, more than 3.5 million baby boomers turn 55. Although 50 may not be the new 30, our 50s aren't what they used to be, especially in terms of life span ... Read More >

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Jeffrey S. Ross, MD (Rush University Medical Center)
Description: This multiauthored book on the integrative treatment of anxiety disorders is based on the literature review done for an anxiety symposium presented by the same authors.
Purpose: The purpose is to review the treatment of the various anxiety disorders, with emphasis on integration of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy. It is hoped that such an integrative approach to treatment will improve response time—a worthy goal in this era of managed care and medical cost control. The individual chapters largely succeed in addressing this integrative approach.
Audience: The book targets the audience of mental health clinicians who have a large anxiety disorder patient population. The psychiatrist who currently favors only one treatment modality may find the book particularly useful and enlightening. The authors seem to be credible authorities, and they present up-to-date treatment information, much of which is available from one of the many excellent general textbooks published, although these other texts lack the emphasis on integrative treatment.
Features: The book has very few illustrations, other than outlines of DSM-IV criteria and an occasional table of medication comparisons. The text is easy to read and flows well with pertinent references noted. Both the table of contents and index are well constructed and thorough. Some of the case studies are particularly well conceived and serve to introduce a discussion on integrative treatment.
Assessment: This is a useful book for the mental health clinician, especially the psychiatrist, who treats a significant anxiety disorder population but feels limited by one treatment approach. The book presents each anxiety disorder from a comprehensive perspective, which facilitates a faster treatment response. The information, although current, is nothing revolutionary, and is duplicated in other general psychiatry textbooks. However, its emphasis on integrative treatment does make this a worthwhile purchase in this era of increased accountability for a quick positive medical outcome.

A new dawn for industrial photosynthesis

Several emerging technologies are aiming to meet renewable fuel standards, mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, and provide viable alternatives to fossil fuels. Direct conversion of solar energy into fungible liquid fuel is a particularly attractive option, though conversion of that energy on an industrial scale depends on the efficiency of its capture and conversion. Large-scale programs have been undertaken in the recent past that used solar energy to grow innately oil-producing algae for biomass processing to biodiesel fuel. These efforts were ultimately deemed to be uneconomical because the costs of culturing, harvesting, and processing of algal biomass were not balanced by the process efficiencies for solar photon capture and conversion. This analysis addresses solar capture and conversion efficiencies and introduces a unique systems approach, enabled by advances in strain engineering, photobioreactor design, and a process that contradicts prejudicial opinions about the viability of industrial photosynthesis. We calculate efficiencies for this direct, continuous solar process based on common boundary conditions, empirical measurements and validated assumptions wherein genetically engineered cyanobacteria convert industrially sourced, high-concentration CO2 into secreted, fungible hydrocarbon products in a continuous process. These innovations are projected to operate at areal productivities far exceeding those based on accumulation and refining of plant or algal biomass or on prior assumptions of photosynthetic productivity. This concept, currently enabled for production of ethanol and alkane diesel fuel molecules, and operating at pilot scale, establishes a new paradigm for high productivity manufacturing of nonfossil-derived fuels and chemicals.

A decade or so back, Sailing World did a ''10 Best'' issue and Marmadukes was high up on the ''10 best sailing watering holes on the list''. Alas it has been gone for a while, replaced by a steak joint. There is a new ''sailing bar'' in town about a block from ''Dukes'' that seems to have become ''Dukes'' replacement.
I am not sure what to tell you about the barrier coat peeling off. That is not good news. I would suggest that you need to try to find out what that coating actually is. (It may have just been bottom paint.)In any event, if it is a barrier coat, you should probably remove any of that coating that is not adhered abd apply a fresh barrier coat now. It will be much easier to apply now before you have ever applied bottom paint and before you change water conditions.
(For certain types of blisters fresh water is worse than salt but it can work the opposite way as well)

Older, Wiser, and Wilder
Indie rock shindig Off the Radar is about to enter its terrible twos. For us humans, that phrase might mean dirtier diapers and temper tantrums, but Off the Radars second anniversary bash at PS 14 will feature live music and drink specials instead of soggy Pampers and drool-covered pacifiers. New Yorks own Tigercity will perform their dancey Eighties-influenced rock after local fellas Modernage get the party started. Resident DJs Ray Milian, Danny Ashe, Dakota Brody, and Matt Cash will spin underground hits afterward.
Unlike parties where guests provide gifts, this celebration will have complimentary goodies for its visitors. R. Grimes will be silk-screening free T-shirts, and the Off the Radar 2.0 compilation CD is up for grabs to the first 300 people in the door.

I still contend that Barbara Palvin is the hottest Barbara in the celebrity world today, and I say that even before Barbara Palvin removes her clothes down to her little lady lingerie for her latest Victoria's Secret shoot. Once you start throwing in the baby dolls, Barbara sky rockets to sextastic heights among the titans.
She's crazy good at modeling nightwear. I suspect she's even better at modeling nightwear on the ground. I sure would like to see. I'm going to write a note to the good people at V.S. right now. I am a platinum purchaser, that has to carry some weight. Enjoy.

Graphical structures such as Bayesian networks or M arkov networks are very useful tools for representing irrelevance or independency relationships, and they may be used to efficiently perform reasoning tasks. Singly connected networks are important specific cases where there is no more than one undirected path connecting each pair of variables. The aim of this paper is to investigate the kind of properties that a dependency model must verify in order to be equivalent to a singly connected graph structure, as a way of driving automated discovery and construction of singly connected networks in data. The main results are the characterizations of those dependency models which are isomorphic to singly connected graphs (either via the d-separation criterion for directed acyclic graphs or via the separation criterion for undirected graphs), as well as the development of efficient algorithms for learning singly connected graph representations of dependency models.

A top federal housing official on Tuesday pledged to work with lenders to ease concerns that have led them to restrict mortgage access and urged Congress to pass legislation that would overhaul the housing finance system.
Secretary Julián Castro in a speech on Tuesday outlined his priorities for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which he took over in July. Among those priorities: increasing access to mortgages for borrowers with low credit scores, expanding affordable rental housing and pushing for the passage of broad housing-finance legislation.

Because the meltdown in housing was at the center of the financial crisis and subsequent Great Recession, much attention during the recovery has been focused on the pickup in single-family housing starts.
Starts plummeted from an annual rate of 1.4 million units in 2007 to about 300,000 in 2010. Since then, they have been climbing back slowly and were within striking distance of an annual rate of 600,000 in June. Read More »

Vice President Joe Biden jumped on lower mortgage rates last year, his boss didn't.
Mr. Biden in 2013 took out a 30-year mortgage from TD Bank on his principal residence, including rental property, with an interest rate of 3.375%, according to his financial disclosure form released Thursday. The loan, valued at between $500,000 and $1 million, replaced his previous mortgage from Wilmington Saving Fund Society, which he took out in 2010. That loan came with a 4.625% interest rate.

A top former U.S. banking regulator is criticizing her former colleagues, saying they should not have backed away from tougher mortgage-market rules required under the 2010 Dodd-Frank law.
In a comment letter sent to banking regulators, Sheila Bair, former chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., criticized regulators' decision to scale back a proposal to impose tougher standards on the mortgage-securities market.
In August, six regulators — including the FDIC and Federal Reserve — reworked proposed rules requiring issuers of mortgage securities to retain 5% of the credit risk on their books. The regulators created a wide exemption for "qualified residential mortgages" that will cover most of the loans being made today. Read More »

The decision by Senate Republicans to defuse a showdown over five of President Barack Obama's nominees earlier this week has Democrats feeling slightly more optimistic about the White House's pick to head a top housing regulator.
Still, the confirmation vote of Rep. Mel Watt (D., N.C.), who was nominated this spring to run the Federal Housing Finance Agency, is by no means certain. It figures to serve as the next major test of the detente between the White House and Senate Republicans over executive appointments.
Mr. Watt was approved Thursday by the Senate Banking Committee in a party-line vote of 12-10, with Republicans saying he is not up to the task of leading the FHFA.
The housing regulator oversees mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which have been under federal control since September 2008, and Republicans have voiced skepticism over the qualifications of Mr. Watt, a 20-year veteran of Congress… Read More »

Ok so I am... confused as **** on the rules. I have both the errata pdf, the playershandbook, and gm handbook.
So in the players handbook it states that the attacker builds a sequence and then the defender builds a sequence with at least one defense move per attack targeted at them.
Both roll. The attacker spends their successes first on any moves perceeding getting within reach of the defender (moving, etc). Then the attackers reamaining successes are compared to the defenders remaining successes.
This is where the confusion comes in and the books don't seem to agree. If the defender gets more they successfully defend, the PHB says that the defender then spends his net successes from left to right, ie if the defense sequence was block, block, ready, strike and they had 3 net successes they'd do block, block, ready.
Now this doesn't seem to make much sense as the blocks (I'd have thought) would have been taken care of once the attackers seqeunce was cancelled (what point would there be then as 1 net success in the above example would be just as good as 2)...
Yet the Errata states that it doesn't work this way and in it's example then proceeds to say that it DOES work this way... I just need a straight answer. With 3 net successes would it be block, block, ready or ready strike or something else entirely... love the game but this vital section is so poorely written it's painful.
Defense sequence vs errata, makes no sense.

What you state is correct, if you have a defense sequence of;
Blobk - Block - Ready - Strike
With 3 Net successes, you will only perform the 2 block actions, but will not be able to counter attack.
While this may seem wrong for you, the first thing defense is supposed to do is fend off the attacker, if it results in a counter attack that's nice..but not really the thing you'd be aiming for first.
Right now, it already gives soem advantages to the defender in that move or other actions are things you do not need to defend (but the attacker still needs successes for them). If anyone was to go for a lot of Power actions, and then the strike, you still need to defend against just 1 attack, making it a little more advantagous to have multiple attacks, rather then lot's of preperation for just 1 powerfull one.
Still though, if you have Karmic Release or Karmic restraint, you can STILL mannage to turn this event into a win or bringing it down to exactly what you need.
After the bid is resolved, and you have the 3 Net successes (but only need 2), you can;
If you got Karmic Restraint;
Pull back the one Karma point you have that is "too much", and would otherwise be wasted
If you got karmic Release;
Add one extra Karma point you have, and thus add 1 extra Net success to get in the "Strike" as well.
Sorry for not having noticed this, not on here so much..
In general, not much activity here, so if you ever need quick answer you might want to look at other forums or the G+ community of Fireborn.
Just in case though, subscribed to this topic in case other questions pop up

Download: The Deepsea Goes "There Is No Space"
(from Oraoneiroi out now on Transnational Debate)
Rock musicians in the late '90s were preoccupied with making a soundtrack to the rapture that was surely right around the corner. But a decade or so later, we seem hell-bent on erasing the memory of that millennial fear—our faux-disco anthems merely celebrating the postponement of our annihilation, our cloying ballads dwelling on the melodrama of teenage lovers. So it's particularly refreshing to hear the Deepsea Goes' Oraoneiroi, a brash and belligerent reminder that times are as tense now—if not more so—than they were when Y2K loomed. This is music for burning buildings to the ground, smashing police car windows, and attacking anyone in sight. The eleven-track album is relentless. Melody takes a backseat to the visceral power and unhinged intensity of the two-piece, who could frighten the most hardcore of hardcore bands with their thunderous charge. Each song title begins with "There is No …" just in case the abrasiveness of their sound didn't fully convey the fatalism.

Originally written on Fox Sports West | Last updated 11/18/14
The NBA on Tuesday gave Lakers forward Metta World Peace a one-game suspension for an altercation with Brandon Knight of the Detroit Pistons. With 1:43 left in the second quarter of the Lakers' 98-97 victory Sunday, World Peace and Knight got tangled up while fighting for a rebound. World Peace was called for a flagrant foul after landing what looked to be a subtle uppercut to Knight's jaw. After the game, Knight told reporters that World Peace definitely gave him a punch. Though World Peace wasn't ejected Sunday, he'll be forced to sit Tuesday night as the Lakers visit the Brooklyn Nets. The Lakers will miss him on defense, especially if Coach Mike D'Antoni intends to put Kobe Bryant on point guard Deron Williams. Hiding Steve Nash may be a problem with Brooklyn's Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace and Williams to cover. World Peace hasn't missed a game all season, playing in all 48 while averaging 13.2 points on 40.6 shooting (including 34.9 from three-point range). -Eric Pincus

Plus: Margo Martindale returns to FX and we're excited, Storage Wars is totally fake, and SAG nominations!
Plus: AMC is developing a period-piece comedy, Weird Desk is delayed, and Discovery orders its first scripted series.
Major developments in the Abu Nazir case mean everyone has to face the ugly reality of "What now?"
Price, Tim, and Jen discuss the week in television! And this week Cory Barker joins us for a spirited (and lengthy!) discussion of: Gossip Girl, Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, The Vampire Diaries, Sons of Anarchy, Homeland, The Walking Dead, and more.
There's been some jibber-jabber about a few ridiculous events in this week's episode, but that's what the show is now, and it's still good.
Price, Tim, and Jen discuss the week in television! This week: Liz & Dick, New Girl, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,Homeland, The Walking Dead, Angus T. Jones, and more.
One of Homeland's best episodes yet juggled two riveting storylines as the series showed it's not done adding complexity.
"I'll Fly Away" played with Brody like a cat plays with a gourmet mouse dinner, sandwiching a cool and (relatively) collected Brody-in-the-company-of-Carrie between two slices of his life that are out of control.
Editor Jen joins Price and Tim for a discussion about the week in television! This week: Tuesday-night comedies, AHS, The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons, The Walking Dead, TVD, and more!
One of Hollywood's most eager-to-please actresses hosted for a third time. How do you think she did?
This was a solid hour of television, but only an okay episode of Homeland.
This week Price and Tim to discuss politics (haha not really), The Walking Dead, Nashville, Community, and more!
Amazingly, Homeland hasn't backed itself into a corner, it's backed itself into the middle of the room, and every direction the Brody-Carrie story can go in is full of potential.
On our list this week: Drunk nuns, soaked reporters, Halloween costumes, and one terrible pre-title "hook."
An outstanding conversation between two Emmy winners is a high point not just for the series, but for television.
We chatted with the CSI creator about his new "digital thriller" Cybergeddon and his five favorite television shows.
An Emmy victory lap and impressive ratings have forced Showtime to make the call just four episodes into Season 2.
I can't say I'm totally at ease with where Homeland is going after its recent string of bizarre events, and the whopper in "New Car Smell" continued to tempt my confidence. But that was exactly the point of the episode.
On our list this week: The debut of American Horror Story: Asylum, the demise of Animal Practice, and a pretty amazing Breaking Bad / Taylor Swift parody.
With the very best holiday ever fast approaching (take a hike, Arbor Day/Grandparents Day!), it's time to start thinking seriously about what costume to wear this Halloween. Luckily television offers a plethora of excellent choices.

Pentagon to end F-22 jets, presidential chopper
Plans to buy a new fleet of White House helicopters also were among the programs terminated by Gates. With a price tag of $13 billion and a six-year delay, the helicopters were considered at risk to be cut in the 2010 budget.
Obama has said he would closely examine the program, noting that his current ride seemed "perfectly adequate."
Gates said the Pentagon will look into other options in fiscal 2011 for a new program to replace the aging helicopter fleet built by Sikorsky Aircraft, a unit of United Technologies.
Cost overruns and delays have plagued Lockheed's program due partly to aggressive plans by the Bush administration to incorporate anti-missile defenses, communications equipment, hardened hulls and other advanced capabilities on the helicopters following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The Navy waited nearly a year before formally disclosing the information to lawmakers as it sought to find ways to keep the program within budget. Those efforts failed.
Shares of Lockheed Martin added $5.97, or 8.9 percent, to $73.28 Monday. Many other defense stocks also rose.
Associated Press writers Stephen Singer in Hartford, Conn., and Russ Bynum in Savannah, Ga., contributed to this report.

They call it fishing, not catching, right?
All-day trip on Vendetta met with rolling seas and few fish found under kelp paddies.
POINT LOMA Shortly after Mitch Chavira's son, Cole, hoisted his 20-pound yellowfin tuna for pictures at the stern of Ray Summer's sport boat, Vendetta, the proud father pointed to the east.
"Look where we are," said Chavira, a floor covering contractor from Solana Beach. "We're so close to land we can see Point Loma, and we're catching 20-pound tuna in July. How cool is that?"
Yes this hot July tuna bite so close to San Diego has been the coolest thing to hit fishing here in a few years. It was so wide-open over the weekend that some long-range boats stayed within a kayak paddle of the Point just to salvage big-dollar trips. That Mexican closure on bluefin for commercial and recreational fishing has kept the fleet close to home and in friendlier U.S. waters, tossing sardines and brailing anchovies at willing tuna.
Unfortunately for our group of 11 anglers, we hit it when the sea was a bit angry and the fish weren't so hungry.
Our first stop on a kelp paddy near the bottom end of the 9-MileB Bank showed some life when a fish boiled on a chummed sardine. But it was all boil, no bite.
They say you can tell a lot about a person during a round of golf. Same thing for fishing with someone from dawn to nearly dusk. I'll say this much for our captain, Summer, his second skipper, Diron Uribe, our 11 anglers and U-T San Diego photographer John Gastaldo, we handled the adversity as well as a 10 handicap posting a 105 on Torrey South.
Some of the best entertainment was watching Del Mar money room man Jeff Suttle hustling up and down the rail to look for floating kelp.
Summer, who once was Bob Williams' top assistant on the San Diego at Seaforth Sportfishing, was honest about his assessment of the day. He had done everything he could to find fish, and we all appreciated it.
"The fish moved north," said Summer, who also is a pipefitter by trade. "I think I should have stayed down in that area we hit first thing this morning. It was fishy. We wouldn't have gotten big numbers, but we might have landed a few more of those big yellowfin. Instead, we went out for bluefin and didn't find any."
The water is mixed outside, with edges showing a contrast from off-color to clear blue. The water temperature is 69 to 70 degrees, just right for exotics like yellowfin, dorado and even bigeye tuna, which many predict will start showing their big selves soon.
Most of us were surprised by the quality of the bait we had. We had sardines and anchovies for bait.
"That's been the difference, getting those sardines," Summer said.
On the lone yellowtail I caught, I gave an assist to Mitch Chavira. He casted an iron jig past the floating kelp as Summer angled the boat in position. As Chavira's jig whisked past the weeds, I saw fish flash under it. I'd dropped down to my Okuma spinning reel with 15-pound test and now had my first bite and catch of the day.

Regan Smith not giving up title bid
When the 2013 NASCAR Nationwide Series champion is crowned at Homestead-Miami Speedway later this year, a new name will be etched on the trophy.
The only question is whose name it will be.
With 10 races left in the season, it appears the fight for the championship is between three of the series' top drivers – Sam Hornish Jr., Austin Dillon and Elliott Sadler.
This weekend, the series moves to the high banks of Atlanta Motor Speedway, where none of the title contenders have been to victory lane. In fact, Hornish is the only one of the group who has led a single lap at AMS.
Heading into this weekend, Hornish holds a six-point lead over Dillon, with Sadler 11 points back.
While it appears the title may be a three-man battle, Regan Smith is desperately trying to hang on and remain a factor.
Thanks to wins at Talladega and Michigan, Smith took over the points lead and was setting the pace as the series hit the summer stretch.
But since the month of June, Smith has struggled with an average finish of 13.7, dropped to fourth in the standings, and is now 24 points behind Hornish.
So how did it all go wrong for Smith and the No. 7 JR Motorsports team?
A mix of mechanical issues, poor road-course performances and perhaps a bit of head games is to blame.
Just as things were looking up after the win at Michigan, Smith endured devastating finishes in the next two events. Multiple incidents at Road America led to a 32nd-place finish, while a right-front suspension issue resulted in a 30th at Kentucky.
Following the rain-shortened event in the Bluegrass State, Smith summed it up by saying, "things break occasionally," but was eager to gain the points back.
However, that has not happened.
In fact, Smith has given up the 58-point advantage he enjoyed following his win at MIS.
IT ADDS UPWhere are your favorite drivers in the Nationwide Series standings? Check out the points.
Perhaps the biggest distraction, though, has come from Elliott Sadler.
While racing at the front of the pack on the final green-white-checkered restart at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in July, Smith made contact and turned Sadler, ending what would have been a promising points run for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver.
After the race, Sadler caught up with Smith in the garage and promised, "You will not win this championship. Mark my words."
That threat appears to have made an impact.
Since the incident, Smith has fallen from first to fourth in the standings with only one top-10 finish – a fourth at Watkins Glen.
Now 24 points behind Hornish, Smith is not entirely out of the championship picture, but things are starting to slip away.
Looking for the NASCAR on FOX blog? Check out Shake and Bake.
After another disappointing run at Bristol – this time a result of a broken wheel – Smith vowed his team was not giving up just yet.
"With 10 races left, we're going to have to be near perfect to have a shot," Smith said. "I will promise two things: There's zero quit in this team, and this championship is far from over."
Each of the top three title contenders scored his best-career Atlanta finish last season, while Smith has not run a Nationwide Series car there since 2007.
If he wants to add his name to the list of contenders for the title, he's right: The No. 7 team needs to be perfect week-in and week-out, and that all starts Saturday night under the lights at Atlanta.
