This is such an awesome palette! I bought it because of the rave reviews and boy did it deliver! All of the colors are absolutely gorgeous, I love playing with the ones on the left side! If this palette had a few matte browns and a black shade this is probably the only palette I would ever reach for. Good job, Wet 'n' Wild.

I finally gave in and bought Comfort Zone yesterday. I actually went to two different Walgreens and snagged the last palette at the second store. I wore three of the colors today-the three neutrals on the left side of the palette. I opted to use a Clinique e/s for my browbone since the WnW browbone color is a little too shimmery for my taste. I love how the pink bronze color looks on my lids. I prefer to have shimmery e/s colors for my lids since I have hooded eyes. And I used the brown in the crease and the darker red brown as an outer v color. The only thing about the darker red brown color is that the color turned out more black on my brush and my eyes. To fix it, I used another WnW e/s color from the 6 pan palette - vanity something I can't remember at the moment - to make the color a little more brown. It worked. Bottom-line, I really like this palette so far. I can't wait to try the green side. The price is great and really does beat out quite a few of my MAC shadows.

I FINALLY found this palette in Wal-Mart after stalking various drugstores in my area for weeks. I grabbed it immediately and almost grabbed the other 2 they had, since it was so hard to find, but stopped my inner greedy child. However, that being said, these are AH-MAZE-ING!!!!!!! $4.98 for an 8 color palette of eyeshadows? Every one is smooth, blendable, nicely pigmented and plays well with all the other colors in the paletted, and there is even a Duo-Chrome shade? It makes you wonder how the other companies are charging an arm and a leg for their products? Granted packaging is rather crummy, but other than that there is absolutely nothing to complain about with this palette. The colors are neutral enough to create an lovely every day eye look, but there is enough "bang" in the deeper shades to go deep, dark and smokey, if that's what you desire. If I was taking a trip and wanted to only take maybe one or two eyeshadow palettes, this would definitely be one of the two I'd grab. The colors range from pretty pinkish beige, to taupe to a soft green to a deep brown with a shimmery blue highlight. Check the pictures.
Highly recommended for the price point, buy a back-up if you can get one. I know I will the next time I spot one!!

I had to go to 3 different Walgreens to find the Comfort Zone palette, and 2 out of the 3 stores were completely sold out of all the palette shades so that goes to show how popular these are and rightfully so! I had my doubts, but I was really impressed at how soft and silky these are. To be honest, I think it blows away some of the more high end brands out there. I literally had to only lightly tap my brush into the shadows because they are super soft. They glide on creamy when applied to the eyelids. They are also very blendable. For 4.99 you get 8 really wearable shadows. Ive been wearing this palette everyday since i got it. I have to try Blue had me a Hello, because I've heard good things about that palette too. Wet n' wild has come a long way.

I was wandering around in Walgreens the other day when I came upon the Wet n Wild display. I saw they had Comfort Zone finally. I decided to try it since it was only $5. I also have Petal Pusher (see my review), so I had an idea of what I was getting. As people have said, I think the quality and pigmentation with the CZ palette is a little better than PP. The shadows are better than MAC (that doesn't take much, honestly) but not better than UD. These are great for drugstore, and for the price, they can't be beat. I know ELF sells palettes for $5 as well, and the WnW shadows are way better!
Anyway, you get neutrals on one side and greens on the other. I like how they try to help out the makeup simpletons by telling you which color should go where (I see this often with low end mu for some reason). I'm also annoyed by this because it makes me think inside the box. Sometimes, I'd rather have the shadows mixed up so I can decide myself what goes with what instead of having them do it for me.
Over all, this is a nice palette. For the price, you really should give it a try. Again, like I said for my PP review, these palettes are not going to save the world. They are excellent for drugstore, but there are still other brands that are better.

Amazing, velvety, deeply pigmented, sumptuous, silky eye shadows! I saw this palette as a MU top review product yesterday and after reading all the great reviews, stopped by Walgreens on my way home to get it. They only had 2 left and I grabbed one. For only $4.99 I had to try it. I would have never known about it had it not been for the great reviews here! I have never used W&W shadows before and am flabbergasted at what an amazing product this is. My inner makeup snob is in complete, utter shock! I think the quality of these shadows are as good (If not better!!) as the shadows in my UD Naked palette and my other highend shadows by UD, MAC, Laura Mercier, Too Faced, Paula Dorf, Lorac, Lancome, Stila, and Estee Lauder! As other reviewers have mentioned, there is fallout from these shadows, but to me, this is indicative of great quality shadows. The pigments in these are over the top intense. And yes, the color on the bottom right is identical to MAC's Clubbing e/s! All of the colors can be mixed and matched. I used them today to create a drop-dead gorgeous smoky eye look and just can't get over how beautiful this palette is! Other reviewers have also mentioned that the packaging is not the greatest in the world, but who cares about the ho-hum packaging for such an incredible product! If you can find this palette you MUST try it. I can honestly say I like this as much as my UD Naked palette!!! I am wearing my UD primer with these though at the suggestion of other reviewers. I cannot say enough about these gorgeous shadows. I can hardly believe the whole palette cost only $4.99. Get this!!!

You can't go wrong with this palette. It is cheap, the greens are gorgeous and it is (did I mention) dirt cheap! The quality is very nice. The definer colors are kind of useless cuz they are so messy. But to get all these eyeshadows for such a cheap cost. You can't complain at all. All in all the product is worth a free and easy 4 lippie. The price being so cheap is what makes it deserve 5 lippies.

I just HAD to have this after reading about it on numerous beauty blogs. The colors truly are lovely, but there are a couple of issues that keep me from loving it.
First, this stuff is crumbly as all get out, especially the bottom definer color. A tiny drop of water caused the whole top portion of the shadow to just crumble in the package, so now I can only apply this dry. I don't have this problem with other shadows, even cheap ones.
Second, you will have MAJOR fallout underneath your eyes from the definer color, whether applied wet or dry. This is definitely a shadow you want to apply BEFORE the rest of your makeup. Be sure to have some oil-free eye makeup remover on hand to wipe off all the stuff that falls onto your face.
Also this shadow is quite sparkly. If you have less than perfect skin on your eyelids, RUN from this product. Not a problem for me since I keep my eyelids in great shape with retinol and vitamin e, but if your eyelid skin is not perfectly smooth this will look like crap.
This shadow has not creased on me and wears for a long time, but I attribute that to the Too Faced Shadow Insurance that I apply under it and not the eyeshadow itself.
BTW, if you are looking for a great cheap eyeshadow, I highly recommend you check out Nicka K eyeshadows which can be had for about $1.50 each at most ethnic beauty supply stores. Beautiful colors and much better quality than this.

Thank you to everyone who posted a review and/or a photo for this product, because otherwise I would not have thought to stalk it till I got it. I think WnW is becoming my new fave eyeshadow brand, right next to MAC *gasp* and surpassing UD. I luuuurve this palette. These colors are too cool for school. I also hauled I Dream of Greenie, Knock on Wood, and I Got Good Jeans, and my major regret is that I did not get more shadows! I'm seriously becoming obsessed! I'm already thinking about how to purchase a backup, because I can never let myself run out of these 8 colors.

This is a good palette to take traveling, or someone who is just starting to get into makeup. It has the perfect combination of day and night looks. My only complaint is that the lid and crease colors on the left side, don't show up that well with my skintone (NC42), but I bet they would still look fabulous on someone who was lighter. All and all this is still a good palette.

Hey CA,
After lurking around for a good few months I'm going to take the plunge and start my own sketchbook.
I'm currently 17, interested in art but have come up against a giant drawing block, hopefully you guys will be able to give me advice, critique and tell me where i am going wrong! I'm also using this sketchbook to backup all of my drawings and to see for myself how much i can improve over my time on this site.
I'm going to post every single drawing, i make. Even if its horrible its the only way i will learn! my strengths currently are in graphite drawings, but i would love to one day be able to master photoshop.
anyway, let the havoc begin!

Hello there!
Your graphite drawing is certainly showing as one of your strongest strengths given by details and contrast drawings in the first sketch. You've got a keen eye for details in a couple of sketches. That's a good start because learning how to draw every detail is a step toward becoming a better artist by having yourself trained to see every detail, every color, and every bit of everything.
To answer your question, yes, Intros 2 is one of good Wacom tablets to use. It doesn't matter what brand you're using as long as you learn how to master it with comfort and able to develop your painting skills through it. Your photoshop sketch of the blue-and-yellow ball is starting off strong because it shows sharp details in colors balancing each other out as well as the spot of light.
Keep it up with a couple of sketches.

Sat down for a while and started drawing a red wine bottle.
I Started drawing straight from the bottle neck, and thus got the proportions wrong, along with many other things. However I like the look of the top of the bottle still. Note to self - Dont move the wine bottle halfway through drawing.
I need to learn to plan things better...
Many thanks for the comment!
Gary, we all know that you are better than me
All of these drawings are done in graphite mate
The scissors are my favorite thing out of the lot so far! hoping to do more in that style.
I really appreciate the kind words, i wont disappoint! Color picking on photoshop is really hard for me, the ball sketch was an anomaly...
Thanks everybody!

Trying Photoshop again, (from life as usual)
Finding it really hard to block out Colours correctly, more practice is needed obviously
First is a Banana skin in a mug
second is the reflection in the lamp on my desk
September 22nd, 2010 #16
Good job with these. It's clear that where you really focus on the detail you do a really great job. The texture on the banana screen is great - and really paid off. The reflected room on the lampshade is very clear and works well. However the left hand side of the reflection is scribbly and you loose the clear shape of the curve of the shade. Reflections are clear and crisp, and that area doesn't read well.
In a few places it looks like you're drawing lots of lines looking for the one you're trying to find - aroud the lip of the cup - along the top edge of the draped fabric. Slow down and try to get the right line the first time. Look at the proportions, look at where the bottom of the dip will be and then practice getting the right line to start with. When you dig in and render it up you're doing a good job, but I'd be interested in seeing more of the line drawings and seeing if you can convey the shapes and form at that stage.
But I have to say - great start. You've got some excellent studies in there and clearly a good handle on your photoshop skills. What's next on the list of studies?
Thanks for dropping by the food sketches - glad you liked them

both the lamp and the mug are both unfinished, i will remove any scribble bits if i choose to finish them. However i do understand your point and will try to be more careful.
Next thing on the list is probably some anatomy studies, I don't want to do the same things over and over, but its going to be all life drawing and studies for a good few years! Switching between different aspects from week to week.

2 photoshop sketches with a friends cintiq
Very fun
October 27th, 2010 #25
Use bigger paper for life drawing, a4 at LEAST, preferrably A2 - and don't go for values yet, try and get down loose contours and shadow shapes. Jot down the date and how long each pose was after each sketch, 15-20 minutes is good for starting.
the shadow shapes you have in the dude are very fiddley, if there is good strong lighting there should be way less shapes, if there's bad ambient lighting hitting dull shadows every which way working from midtones is more suitable
keep it up bro

DETROIT (AP) -- Shea Weber turned boos into silence with a goal early in the first period and the Nashville Predators held on to beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 Sunday to take a 2-1 lead in the first-round series. Henrik Zetterberg scored with just under a minute left to pull the Red Wings within one, but they couldn't tie the game to force overtime. Weber, jeered for smashing Zetterberg's face into glass at the end of Game 1, snapped Nashville's 0-for-12 streak on the power play against the Red Wings and helped the franchise win its first playoff game against them on the road. Detroit will need to win Tuesday night at home to avoid facing elimination in Game 5 at Nashville.

There are many perfumes that hit the market, but only a few of them are worth the time and money that goes into them. It is important to know where the perfume comes from because this background information can help in making an educated decision regarding what the best course of action is moving forward. Let's take a glance at who makes true religion perfume? This is an important question to answer because it will help demonstrate the level of quality that goes into this particular scent and all that it has to offer those who go with it.
Who makes true religion perfume?
This is the main question and one that has to be answered before looking at the actual product. Most people want to know this before they make a decision because it helps pinpoint who is behind the work that is being done. True Religion perfume is made by a company that goes by the same name, "True Religion".
This is a leading brand that has years of experience in this field and is constantly upping its quality to produce the best for those who require it the most. This is a true winner.
There are many details to remember when it concerns True Religion, but this is one of the bigger brands out and about. They are regularly gaining more and more clients because of the quality of the stuff that is being sold. This is a company that has a rich history and is continually developing its line. The answer to the question "who makes true religion perfume?" is simple enough with 'True Religion' being the founder and creator of this particular scent. They have been around for a long time and this can be seen through the quality of the actual scent itself.

Do you need a microloan?
Elizabeth Schott
Title: Executive director of Accion San Diego
Age: 32
Married to: Michael Schott
College: College of Charleston, S.C., bachelor's in communications and Spanish
Career: Joined Accion San Diego as administrative assistant/marketing coordinator in 2004; was first promoted to director of operations and then to executive director in 2009
Passionate about: Nonprofit work and small business
Interests: Traveling — "I'd go stir-crazy if I go a couple months without traveling." Takes frequent short trips to places where she can hike and bike.
Microlending institutions have been stepping in and filling the gap left by banks and other lenders, giving loans to small-business owners who might not have enough collateral or a strong enough credit history to approach banks.
While lending by some banks has declined, microlenders like Accion San Diego have increased the number of loans and the dollar amounts over the last year.
Accion San Diego is a member of the nonprofit Accion Network, the largest network for microfinance in the U.S. In 2011, the number of loans it disbursed increased by 10 percent to 99 loans, totaling $1.1 million, up by 18 percent. This year, lending volume has increased by 50 percent so far this year.
Loan amounts vary from $300 to $35,000, although the average loan is for $10,000. Founded locally in 1994, it has grown to 10 employees.
Executive Director Elizabeth Schott spoke to U-T San Diego about the value Accion offers the community and how it offers a completely different experience for small businesses.
Q: How has Accion San Diego's micro-financing grown over 18 years?
A: It has grown a lot in terms of portfolio, the clients and the employees. We now have 400 clients and an active portfolio of loans. We've also gained more funding to expand staff size, added positions in 2012 to service clients whose demands have increased.
Q: What is Accion's primary value to San Diego's community?
A: We're here to empower small business with the economic and training tools they need to grow their businesses. We help those who don't meet the banks' terms, have a short operating history or have little or no credit history. We fund them so they can increase their self-sufficiency and their income and support their families as well as create jobs for others. We work collaboratively with the banks, so although the banks don't operate in this area, they help fund us and their business bankers work with us so they can redirect those small businesses that they can't help. We offer training in financing, credit, legal and HR issues as well as social media and QuickBooks.
Q: Do you do quite a bit of hand-holding and offer guidance for clients?
A: We do. We've had clients tell us it feels like talking to family, because we stay with them as they grow. Even after they've paid off the loan, they continue to stay with us and use the training programs we offer. We also coordinate with them on getting the word out about their businesses.

Jonathan Alder girls soccer coach Barb Skidmore isn't holding back when it comes to telling people how good she thinks her Lady Pioneers could be this season.
"I think this team will be really strong, I have high hopes that we'll have a good regular season and make a run in the postseason," the coach said. "I've been very fortunate, everyone on the team has had a positive attitude."
Alder enters this fall with experienced players and is determined to get beyond the D-II district semifinal hurdle which has tripped up the program a lot in recent years. The Pioneers were 9-9 a season ago and advanced to a D-II district semifinal where they fell 2-1 to St. Francis DeSales.
The Pioneers have had their season end at the district semifinal level in five of the last six years. Skidmore, who is about to start her second season at Alder, knows that the disappointment of last season and perhaps even the years prior are driving her players this time around.
"You have to learn from everything that happens," she said. "I think we'll come out a stronger team after how things ended last year. It's never easy getting a new coach and learning a new system. I think the girls are a lot more comfortable now."
The Pioneers, a speedy team that lacks a whole lot of size, will rely on a trio of players to lead this way.
Tracy Burkholder will carry the load on the defenisve end of the field, talented striker Jordi Dye will be the go-to option for scoring goals and Alivia Milesky, a skilled midfielder with a lethal combo of solid defensive skills and an ability to put the ball in the net will tie the two ends together.
"It's a major advantage having those three," Skidmore said. "The other players trust them and follow their lead. They know that they're playing for the team."
When asked about any concerns she may have about the upcoming season, the coach hesitated, thought for a second and admitted that she doesn't really have any and is looking forward to the season."
"Everyone is playing really well right now," Skidmore said. "We're off to a good start, but the goal for these girls is to get to the district final."

The Indian women's team enhanced its chances for a podium finish with a thumping 13-0 victory over Thailand in the hockey competition of the Asian Games on Friday.
The +13 goals advantage and the six points from two victories out of the four played give it a boost before locking horns with Kazakhstan on Saturday. In its last match, India takes on the defending champion, China.
There was further good news for the Indian camp as Malaysia beat Kazakhstan 4-2.
Sluggish start
Overcoming a sluggish initial phase, during which even a penalty corner was conceded to Thailand, India settled down to a steady rhythm and did not let the guard down.
Chanchan started the goal riot followed by Saba Anjum. Thereafter India slotted in at will, with skipper Surinder Kaur taking up the bulk of scoring.
She netted four goals with Rani Ramphal scoring three and Subadra Pradan a brace.
India rested goal-keeper Dipika Murty and fielded Yogita Bali for the match. While expressing concern over the poor rate of penalty corner conversion — India had 12 in the match — Sandeep Somesh, also took note of the growing list of injuries.
China beats Japan
Producing another winsome show, the reigning champion, China, beat off a strong challenge from Japan in its ride towards the semifinal berth in the women's event.
Zhao Yudiao came off with two spectacular goals to show why she is the best junior player in the world.
Japan did fight with all the strength in its command, but China's dominance in the contest was absolute despite giving away a lone goal late in the match.
Marquee match
On the men's side, the attention is riveted on Saturday's tussle between India and Pakistan that will virtually determine one of the semifinal berths.
Although India has won all of its three matches against Pakistan this year — at the World Cup, the Azlan Shah trophy and the Commonwealth Games — Pakistan's form in this event so far has been awesome. Such was the authority and skill the team showed on Thursday in a devastating 8-2 victory over Japan that it has forced many to peg Pakistan as the favourite for gold.
Scoring spree
Riding high on confidence borne out of holding the defending champion Korea on Thursday, Malaysia strengthened its semifinal chances with an awesome scoring spree against Oman. Malaysia, which won 12-2, has seven points from three matches with a tie remaining against the host, China.
South Korea, the holder, recovered its poise after a drawn game on Thursday against Malaysia, to inflict a 3-1 defeat on last edition's silver medallist China, in Pool A.
Saturday's matches: Women: Japan v Thailand (12 noon); India v Kazakhstan (3.30 p.m.); China v Korea (5.30 p.m.).
Men: Pool B: Japan v Hong Kong (10.30 a.m.); India v Pakistan (12.30 p.m).
Keywords: Asian Games 2010, hockey

Original book Warrior is a great book , but this was a waste of my money. This is only one third of the original Warrior book.
This book (Moondark saga) and the two others actually form part of only 1 book - titled Warrior.. So one book was split up in 3 parts. It gives the impression that it is all three parts of the Moondark Trilogy - Warrior, with Warlock and Witch, comprises the Moondark Trilogy.
So I have now bought 2 parts for a book I already own!! When I wanted the Warlock and Witch instalments to complete my collection....
I now understand why people torrent - I thought I bought a legitimate copy, but ended up being duped into buying two parts of an old book....

SAN ANTONIO -- A popular San Antonio evangelist used his Sunday sermon to speak on a proposed city ordinance designed to protect the rights of gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people.
Pastor John Hagee, the founder and Senior Pastor of Cornerstone Church, brought up the issue to congregates after meeting with the author of the proposal and reviewing certain changes to the language of the ordinance.
Under the original proposal, Hagee was especially concerned that city council members could stop religious leaders from running for city boards or commissions based off their conservative views on homosexuality.
Hagee released the following statement to KENS 5 on Monday:
After speaking with San Antonio City Councilman Diego Bernal, it was explained to me that the portions of the proposed ordinance that were most offensive to freedom of speech and freedom of religion, with respect to people of faith being able to serve on the San Antonio City Council, were deleted.
Hagee and other church leaders were initially concerned that the ordinance would infringe upon the first amendment rights and religious liberties of people of faith.
I'm grateful for our city council's willingness to respond to the concerns of the constituents and I appreciate their efforts to create a non-discriminatory policy that does not discriminate against people of faith, Hagee said.
Bernal told KENS 5 he thought the discussion he had with Hagee was very healthy.
Bernal said it has been the city's intention all along to protect the citizens of this community by not discriminating against anyone for religion, sexual orientation or gender identity.
The revised ordinance will go before the entire council sometime in September for final approval.

Floating +Pool would let New Yorkers swim in the river
By Ben Coxworth
June 23, 2011
It's a hot summer day, you're sweaty and uncomfortable, and there's a river full of cool, clear water right beside you. Do you jump in? Not if you're in New York City, as the rivers that flow through that city are too polluted for swimming ... or at the very least, that's the perception that most people have of them. Three young entrepreneurs, however, have proposed a way of getting New Yorkers into the Hudson, East and/or Bronx Rivers. It's called the +Pool (Plus Pool) - a public swimming pool that would float in the river, allowing people to swim in filtered river water.
The +Pool is the brainchild of architect Dong-Ping Wong, and designers Archie Lee Coates IV and Jeffrey Franklin.
The 9,000 square-foot (836 sq.m.) pool itself would consist of four modules, which would be joined together into a + configuration - hence the name. This shape would allow for it to be divided into a Children's Pool, Sports Pool, Lap Pool and Lounge Pool, although two end-to-end modules could also serve as an Olympic-length lap pool, or the whole thing could just be used for splashing around.
River water would flow into the pool through permeable walls, which would be composed of three layers. The first layer would filter out things such as wildlife, debris, oil and sediments. The second layer would stop finer particles, including algae, bacteria and suspended solids. The third and final layer would kill bacteria and viruses.
Since the concept was launched last June, there has reportedly been a lot of interest in it. Engineering firm Arup even contacted the trio, volunteering its resources for project development. Wong, Coates and Franklin are now working on building a partial pool, to test the filtration system and to demonstrate the feasibility of the idea to the City of New York. Ultimately, they hope to have the complete pool up and running by 2012.
They are currently trying to raise funds, in order to make it all happen. People interested in donating can visit the +Pool webpage.
A great idea but cleaning up the river shouldn\'t be forgotten. Once the river is clean the pool could still play a role, this time in reverse--help keep the pollution out of the river !icykel
Here\'s a similar idea, already in place about 60 miles up the same river: http://www.riverpool.org/ Of course, that\'s far enough away that the pollution issues may be quite a bit easier..PeterCapek
I wonder if at one point some cigarette product manager said, \"Hey I know! Instead of getting rid of the pollution in our product, let\'s put a filter on it.\"Wmatthies
I seem to remember a pool that was created using a barge somewhere, so this doesn\'t seem so original, though the shape is different.dsiple
That\'s such a great idea. It makes use of an existing resource in a novel way and provides a healthy and fun activity for community. It also looks great and is sure to become a tourist attraction as well.Hamish Robertson
It\'s a perception of pollution? You\'ve obviously never walked anywhere near the East River. The stench is often unbearable.
This idea is a non-starter. What keeps pollutants out will also keep pollutants in, unless you make everyone shower before jumping in.Gadgeteer
So how is it anchored or held in place with the current and all?Arrow
The Pool is so cool and i want to swim in it! lap poolredwee
We would need some sort of heating of the water for people to risk getting into an English Lake District lake.Martin Rayner
Since the wall are permeable, I would suspect the water can flow both in and out so that there would be a constant water exchange to \"refresh\" the pool water.Robert Guimont
@Gadgeteer Yeah, I\'m sure the people who designed this never considered something as basic as filtration and chlorination. Way to keep an open mind...xLSDx
What I\'m worried about here isn\'t so much the bacteria and oils, but more so the dissolved organic pollutants known to be in the rivers around NY. Your benzene, artificial hormones and other nasties...Zach Stein
looks great.Daliya Robson
If you\'re going to go to the trouble of filtering and sanitizing the water, why not just use an impermeable membrane and fresh water instead? Why all this trouble of filtering all that river water into the pool? Believe me, if you ever got near the East River, you wouldn\'t want to smell it, much less swim in it. Any time there\'s heavy rain, the sewer system dumps millions of gallons of untreated sewage into the river.
An open mind is one thing. The inability to think critically is infinitely worse. A few years ago, an artist got city permission to install artificial \"waterfalls\" at several locations around NYC. They even hired \"environmental consultants\" who gave it the thumbs up. I knew that spraying all that river water into the air wasn\'t a smart idea. Guess what? I was right. It killed trees and grass up to hundreds of feet away. And again, you don\'t want to know what the smell was like downwind of the waterfalls.Gadgeteer
This sounds like a good idea that could have swimming pools popping up all over. Mind you it should be tested against the brain eating amobe that lives naturally in rivers etc. People dob\'t swim in poluted rivers nowadays so not many people die from it.
I would think the layer that kills bacteria isn\'t 100% and probably would on some recent silver nano tech? Rivers in the western world are becoming a lot cleaner. If clean water showers are on the pool then I think it could catch on. Normal indoor swimming pools with clorine are not as fun as outdoor ones. In Norway people swim in inland lakes all the time in the summer. Norway has more indoor swimming pools per capita than any other country.Karsten Evans
This is an quiete old concept. During the summer time this kind of swimming pool can be used in Berlin. Have a look: http://www.arenaberlin.de/badeschiff.aspxStefan Muster
Dome over it, forget the membrane filtration and you have a nice all-weather 3-season facility. With that much space I would design a \'racetrack\' approach to swimming, so people didn\'t have to do flip turns and share lanes with oncoming traffic. Or, harness the tide to generate \'endless\' lap pools for hundreds of swimmers at once.Tom Goddu

+ - Was Slashdot off line for most of the day on 10th Feb 2015?-> 5
Link to Original Source
How on earth do you figure this is a "blow" in the console war? Are you suggest that Microsoft was somehow behind this? Or is everything that gets reported on and is related to Playstation\Xbox now some sort of insidious plot to discredit one or the other console?
In reality it sounds like pure incompetence at Sony (and the same in the story you link about Microsoft) and I think when many people are affected by this sort of thing it's fair enough that it's covered on tech sites. It doesn't have to be part of some 'console war' that you parenthesize with apparent disdain while at the same time perpetuating the idea.
Or, it could have been that I was making a terrible joke.
Looks like Sony's playing catchup with Microsoft. Honestly, this is one of the lamest blows in the so-called 'console war' to date.
You don't?
So it has come to this, a six! digit uid is considered a low uid now?
Well, lets see here. In addition to that, I've noticed:
I can't alter my relationship with other posters (fan, friend, foe, freak) any more, so posters I like won't get that auto karma-boost as I'm reading.
I can't find any way to customize the layout of Slashdot at all. So, no more hiding stories/subjects/authors I don't like for whatever reason. Or adding custom slashboxes.
There's an astronaut next to the 'comment' field that I don't know what it does.
Metamoderation appears dead (and it no longer made any sense, anyway)
I used to have the option of adding a sweet +1 to all my posts for having good karma that apparently went away.
There's no option to post anonymously if I'm logged in.
The 'reply' function doesn't fill in my subject with Re: Parent
Links in posts no longer show the real url so this can happen again: http://slashdot.org
Fonts are a disaster
I was going to make this a snazzy bulleted list, but I have no idea what HTML is allowed
And so on, and on, and on.
Many of the games that come out now have really amazing visuals/graphics/etc, but they all lack something the old classics had. What that something is, I'm not sure. I miss Sierra games with things like Police Quest, Kings Quest, The Island of Dr. Brain. Then you had other games like Hugo: House of horrors and Hugo 2: Who done it? Dune and Dune 2. Their graphics where horrid, but those games were a blast to play. I don't know why, but those older games just seem to have more character and spirit then the games that come out now. Don't get me wrong, there are good games that come out every year, but it seems like a majority of the games coming out now are just the same things rehashed over and over with better graphics and slight variations in the story line. It's almost like the gaming industry has homogenized somewhat. Want to make a FPS, just remake Halo or CoD. Want to make an open world game, just remake GTA,. What to make an RPG, remake Final Fantasy, Kings Quest or Elder Scrolls. Again, don't misunderstand, there are games that come out that do not follow this form such as Dear Esther or Portals and are awesome. I am simply talking the gaming industry as a whole, it way different then what it used to be. The indie game scene, however, seems to be pumping out some pretty awesome stuff these days.
A lot of modern games (especially the so-called 'AAA' games) are missing a soul. They're paint-by-numbers rehashes of what's worked before (shameless plug).
Scroll all the way to the top? Why not just use your keyboard's "Home" key?
Why would you want to read part of a lengthy discussion, maybe even participate, and then come back to the discussion a few minutes or hours later and easily be able to check new comments or even replies to your comments? That's crazy talk.
No, no. When you get to a busy discussion, clicking "Load more comments" and praying that it loaded the comment you replied to, or your own comments. That feels right. Slashdot should feel like work, since we're all browsing it from work anyway.
2. I'd like to see a category for "already said above" and if modded thus it a down-vote (would stop ppl endlessly saying the same thing without bothering to read comments already made).
It's been a while since I had mod points. Has the 'redundant' mod option been removed?
More than you would think, and that's frightening.
I've been using ALT + F4 to close Metro Apps. Seems to be working well so far.

By Frank Gonzalez Jr. - May 2, 2009 Congratulations to Manny Pacquaio!
It all started with Tom Jones singing, God Save the Queen Saturday night in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand, the site of the big showdown between Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquaio. That song sounded exactly like our own, My Country Tis of Thee. Strange? Well, stranger things were on the menu.
It was strange that on the greatest stage of his career, Hattons entry music was some slow paced, comic song about Ricky Fatton, followed by an abbreviated, non-crescendo version of Blue Moon that ended right at the part where all the English fans in the stands get up and sing along..
Manny Pacquaio entered the ring about as humble as a man can under the big lights of Vegas pomp, in an atmosphere hyper charged with anticipation. What sounded like a Filipino love song accompanied Manny through the ropes. He stepped to his corner, knelt and prayed.
Manny Pac-man Pacquaio (49-3-2, 37 KOs) utterly destroyed Englands Ricky The Hitman Hatton (45-2, 32 KOs) in two toughest rounds that Rickys ever experienced in his life. While many expected a new and improved Ricky Hatton, compliments of his new trainer (maybe not for long) Floyd Mayweather Sr. who according to all accounts, has taught Ricky some new tricks but all I saw was old fashioned Hatton, charging forward and taking the fight to Pacman, who was totally ready for what Ricky had to bring.
Round One
The first round saw an eager Hatton pressuring the visibly smaller Manny backwards for a short moment, until Manny began to orchestrate his offense, slow at first with some counters but coming to a crescendo with a right hook, then another, then some jabs to call in the clarinets followed by a straight left and a right hook that splattered Hatton to the canvas! Hatton was hurt but managed to beat the drumming count
which did seem a wee bit on the long side. Hatton was still woozy when Pacman landed another hook that put Ricky down a second time. Hatton beat the count and with seconds left in the round, charged after Pacman but was stopped by the bell.
Round Two
Hatton came on strong, landing two rights and backing Manny up. They brawled at center ring, with Hatton punching and then grabbing to force a reset by the ref. Pacman let Ricky come to him and landed a left hook, then another followed by two right hooks. The ref warned Hatton for hitting behind the head. They exchanged punches and Manny scored the clean punches while Rickys were the grazing variety. There was nothing novel about Hattons approach and he seemed to have no defense or power in his punches. Hatton mustve thought he could muscle Pacman into submission but as quickly as that plan failed, Ricky shouldve had a plan B. If he did, Manny Pacquaio didnt give him enough time to implement it because during an exchange, Ricky threw a right that missed and Pacman countered with a perfectly timed left hook that landed right on the button that caused Hattons head to concuss and thusbe knocked out.
Hatton was down for a long while. The ringside medical staff attending to him moved his body in awkward ways. It was a tense moment but suddenly, Ricky was sitting up on his stool, still a bit dazed but conscious. On the other side of the ring, Manny Pacquaio raised his arms in victory as he addressed the four corners of the crowd.
During the post fight interview, Manny Pacquaio was as gracious as ever, crediting Hatton, saying he hit hard. He talked a bit about how hes refined his right hook to be an additional weapon that compliments his already notorious left hook. When pressed about who he wants to fight next, Manny said he is a fighter and he comes to do his job, which is to fight. His handlers handle the who he fights part of it all. It was short and sweet.
It was mentioned that Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0, 25 KOs) is coming back, as we all knew he wouldas soon as it was opportune to do so. Whats interesting is that instead of Floyd fighting anyone in his last weight class of 147, which was the weight class he did NOT fight in while reigning as the best fighter in the whole wide world yet being the WBC Welterweight titlist, Floyd will now take a page out of DLHs playbook in going after a much smaller man who has grand esteem.
That man is former Featherweight top dog and current WBO Lightweight titlist, Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4-2, 37 KOs) who fought two grueling fights with Manny Pacquaio, both of which ended with some controversy over the official scoring.
J.M. Marquez vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. favors Floyd, who is bigger, faster and will easily carry bigger power down at whatever catch-weight they arrange. Marquez has been in a lot of wars and with 56 pro fights under his belt, he may be very close to his own peak. Mayweather has done all his best work against smaller men but it will be interesting if Marquez can inject the same kind of humility into Floyd that Pacman injected into Oscar.
But let me not get too ahead of myself. After what Pacman did to Ricky Hatton in two rounds, I doubt Floyd will do more than talk about wanting to fight little Manny Pacquaio. It took ten rounds for Floyd to land that famous check-hook ended the night for Hatton back in 2007. After what Mannys done in his last few fights compared to what Floyds done, it seems fair that Floyd would be a legit underdog going into a fight against Manny Pacquaio. So dont hold your breathe.

1,254 mile Mountain-Marathon
This is astounding. We cannot do this effort justice on these pages. As the humble Kevin Carr relays his solo off-road run from Lands End-john O'Groats via the forums of the FRA – hardened fell dogs on the board were left mouth a gape.
He has finally got round to posting his 'report' on the pages of the FRA, and what a post it is, needing two posts the house the blog, as it exceeded the word allowance. With quotes such as:
Fear and confidence come in many different flavours, I had the confidence to stand at one end of the country and begin running with the firm belief I could reach the other end, I overcame my fear of having less than perfect navigation skills to run through the mountains of Scotland yet, walking into a building looking a stranger in the eye and asking for their help was a much scarier prospect…
It didn't feel great, I was tapering for obvious reasons, so hardly running, then sat around eating junk food, most of the day – it doesn't fill you with confidence, certainly didn't make me feel at my 'athletic-best' but it was definitely necessary, I lost just over the 1.75 stone I'd gained-almost two stone; although it wen't nearly all in the last 254 miles north of Fort William – around 15-16lbs in 8 days. I wasn't my normal shape though, I'd lost a lot of muscle not just fat.
you are best taking the phone off the hook for a few minutes and reliving some of the heaven and hell that Kevin endured.
We agree that Kevin's achievement needs to become immortalised in a book at some point, and maybe even a film. Stories and characters like Kevin only come along once in a generation…
Reactions so far
absolutely amazing. i am in awe of people who can do this sort of thing

Rafael Benitez admits Chelsea's win could have been even sweeter if they had scored more goals in Sunday's derby against West Ham but says it has been a 'positive' week. Frank Lampard scored his 200th career goal for Chelsea to help them to a 2-0 victory over the Hammers at Stamford Bridge, with the impressive Eden Hazard grabbing their second. The triumph came after they turned around their UEFA Europa League tie with Steaua Bucharest in midweek to advance to the quarter-finals and Benitez is pleased to see his side on the up. He told Sky Sports: "It's a pity because it was a great win, a great result for us, a clean sheet, two goals, 200 goals for Lampard, but we could have maybe scored three or four goals and it would have been even better. "West Ham are a difficult team to play against. Free-kicks and corners are always a problem. If they'd have scored one goal they would have been back in the game so we needed to score the third goal, kill the game, but we didn't do it. "W...

(WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA) -- Stable Entertainment is celebrating the release of their latest feature, "The Servant", by hosting a gala fundraiser benefiting Adult Industry Medical (AIM) HealthCare Foundation established by adult entertainer Miss Sharon Mitchell, Thursday evening, December 14, at Luca's Ristorante in West Hollywood.
Beginning at 8pm, this VIP, invitation-only party kicks off a big weekend for the Gay adult video industry, taking place the night before the Men in Video Awards.
Starring Blake Harper, Derek Cameron, Steve Cassidy and Dean Phoenix in the title role, "The Servant" was shot entirely on location in Savannah, Georgia and Beverly Hills, California. Due out on the day after the party, Friday December 15th, it is already proving to be one of the most eagerly anticipated videos of the year.
Directed by award winning director and videographer, Thor Stephens, and written and produced by Stable president, Donald Von Wiedenman, other distinguished talent behind the scenes reads like a virtual who's who among industry notables. Renowned make-up artist, Eddie Cacho, better known as Mr. Ed, served as Head of production, with casting responsibilities falling to former editor of Unzipped Magazine, John Erich.
Hosting this event are the stars of the "The Servant", including the servant himself, Dean Phoenix, along with Derek Cameron, Steve Cassidy and this year's Gay-VN Award winner for Best Actor, Blake Harper. Joining them will be special guest, former Playboy centerfold and safe sex activist, Rebekka Armstrong and AIM founder Miss Sharon Mitchell. Making this particular event stand out from similar industry functions, which re held primarily to celebrate a video's release is how it is also serving as a benefit for charity. According to Stable President, Donald Von Wiedenman, "Stable wants to thank the industry for it's outstanding support over this last year by supporting an organization like AIM which benefits the industry in return."
AIM HealthCare is located at 14241 Ventura Blvd. in Sherman Oaks, and provides those in the industry with much needed services and referrals. Although not mandatory, Stable Entertainment and AIM HealthCare are encouraging guests to make donations directly to AIM HealthCare Foundation. All donations will be used in the expansion of resource materials required for the creation and development of services specifically targeted to benefit AIM's gay client base. Be an Honorary Porn Star for the Evening.
A limited number of admissions to this exclusive private party are being made available to those outside the industry who make a donation of $125 or more to AIM, giving them an opportunity to mix and mingle with the stars as an "Honorary Porn Star" for the night. For more information, contact AIM liaison Leo Buck at (714) 895-3599, via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com, or Stable Entertainment directly at (310) 854-5626.
