For most of us, yardwork and mowing the lawn is something that we would rather not think of. In fact, it's something that we would rather not have to even do. And if we can, we'd much rather give the neighborhood kids a couple of bucks to do the dirty deed. Well in 1985 a 15-year-old kid named Bryan Wilde was all too happy to be that kid doing your dirty deeds.
When I think back to my own lawn mowing adventures as an early teen, the couple of bucks that I made were quickly spent at the movies that Saturday night trying to meet girls. Being wise beyond his years (unlike a majority of 15-year-old boys), Brian actually saved his money. Since his preteen days, Brian can recall looking through the latest car magazines and wanting what he saw. And what he wanted was an old car he could hot rod around town in.
When his father noticed the determination in achieving his goals, a deal was made that he would match his son's earnings dollar for dollar. It wasn't long before Brian had enough in his pocket to start hunting for his project car. It just so happened that an Uncle had a friend who was selling a '56 Chevy. At the time Brian was unaware what a '56 Chevy looked like, but he knew he liked '55s and '57s. After looking at it, he fell in love and purchased the '56 for $1,500. After the purchase, Brian's dad drove it home for him, on account of Brian still being too young to drive!
This was just the beginning. Throughout his teenage years, Brian worked hard at saving money to build up his '56. After another 2 years had passed and more money was saved, Brian and his Dad started doing its first rebuild. Over the next few years he drove it every chance he got and even took it to Maryland's International Raceway for some Friday night drag races.
In 1994 the 350 was replaced with a 454-inch big-block and this engine swap prompted a second rebuild, which would last the next few years. The '56 has been nosed, decked, shaved and has had all the metalwork from the frame to the body completely redone. At that point, it was time for the paint, Mercedes Ivory and Indigo Blue, which was shot by Steve Lagana. In 2001, the bug to once again drive his car bit. And before the new interior was installed he took her on her maiden voyage, only to have rain and mud splattered all over the car. Such is life.
Shortly after, Kings auto upholstery of Roanoke Virginia did the custom interior and his dream was finally complete. From mowing lawns all those years ago, to the present...it's been a journey for Bryan Wilde, and half the fun has been getting there.

Are these men's socks? I have a size 11 foot and big legs. What is the diameter of these at the top? Are they returnable if they don't work? Good on ya for having American made stuff.
I own these in "dark brown" and love them; very interested in buying another pair. Could I see a clearer distinction between the "white" and the "natural" color options?
I bought these in Hunter and Dark Red and I'm having a little trouble with them staying up. I have bigger thighs but not huge ones. They keep rolling on me. Any advice?
Just curious, how dark is the "lilac" color? I've been looking for a lighter purple everywhere, and these just look so cozy, but I'm concerned they might be too dark~!
Just curious - how tall do these run from the absolute tip of the toes to the top of the sock? I see you said "17 inches of stretch at the tops" so does that mean they run 17" or are they bigger than that? Thanks!
These are to be worn with my kilt andI need to be able to fold the tops down to attach flashing's. Do i need to be worried about them rolling?
How long is the cuff itself? I'm135lbs 5'3",mid thigh is 20in and most over the knee/ thigh high socks roll down when I sit will the otk tube sox do this?
My son made Honor Roll, and when we told him he could have anything he wanted as a "way to go" gift, he grabbed the computer and started shopping for socks. Just though you'd like to know that even 12-year-old boys cannot resist the awesomeness that is Sock Dreams!

Three very different women live in modern Tel Aviv, Israel. Batya, a catering waitress, takes in a child apparently abandoned at a local beach. Batya is one of the servers at the wedding reception of Keren, a bride who breaks her leg escaping a locked toilet stall, ruining her chance at a dream Caribbean honeymoon. And attending the event with an employer is Joy, a non Hebrew-speaking domestic worker who has guiltily left her son behind in her native Philippines. As this distaff trio separately wends their way through Israel's most cosmopolitan city, they struggle with issues of communication, affection and destiny--but at times find uneasy refuge in its tranquil seas.

It's always a good day for a funeral at St. Mark's Middle School. Andy and Charlie, two altar servers, don't just get to miss class anytime a parishioner kicks the bucket, they cut out early and play hooky as soon as the service is over. Eventually their irreverent personalities will put them in a situation that is too big for them to handle.

In March of 2012, Virginia governor Bob McDonnell was in trouble. The Republican-dominated state legislature had passed a measure that would require women seeking abortions in the early stages of pregnancy to have a transvaginal sonogram—a procedure in which a wand is inserted into the vagina. Pro-choice activists jumped on the bill, calling it "state-sanctioned rape." The outrage went national, and the conservative governor with aspirations to higher office backed off. A version of the sonogram bill did make it into law, but it does not specifically require transvaginal sonograms, just the better-known "jelly on the belly" type.
The debacle was only the beginning of Republicans' problem with women voters. Two Senate candidates—most famously Todd Akin of Missouri—aired shockingly unscientific views about how pregnancy worked, generating a strong backlash from voters. Elsewhere, cuts defunding Planned Parenthood and women's health programs only made the perception that Republicans are anti-woman worse.
After the 2012 election, several Republicans began suggesting their party should back off. In December, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal went so far as to suggest that birth-control pills should be sold over the counter. But rather than move to the center or stay put, the GOP in other states is becoming more extreme in its attacks on women's health—and seeing greater success in curbing access.
In Virginia, Bob McDonnell insisted on amending a bill from the state legislature so that it would ban plans sold through Obamacare's federal health-care exchanges from covering abortions. McDonnell's move is small potatoes compared with laws North Dakota and Arkansas have passed in recent weeks. First, there was Arkansas's ban on all abortions after 12 weeks (the newly Republican legislature overrode Democratic Governor Mike Beebe's veto). Shortly thereafter, North Dakota went significantly further, banning all abortions when a fetal heartbeat can be detected—as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. While both laws will soon be hashed out in courtrooms, these are the types of measures that can be used to challenge Roe v. Wade, because they appear to directly violate Supreme Court precedent.
"We've seen abortion bans be introduced every year," says Elizabeth Nash, the state policy manager with women's health group the Guttmacher Institute. "The thing is no one ever took them seriously. This is the first time in a couple of decades that abortion bans are not only being introduced, but they're passing. That's a huge jump."
Kansas has taken the lead in ever more creative methods of decreasing access. The state legislature has already approved a measure that institutes a number of new requirements for abortion providers. The measure prevents abortion providers from taking any part in public school sex-ed classes—Planned Parenthood has a vast education program—and spends pages listing every tax break for which nonprofit abortion providers might qualify, then bars them from each one. The provisions demonstrate "how far they're going to try to stigmatize and ostracize and isolate abortion providers," says Nash. "Someone literally went through every section of their tax code." The bill also requires that abortion-counseling materials include untrue statements—such as that abortion can lead to breast cancer and premature birth in future pregnancies. While abortion counseling often includes similarly unscientific assertions, Nash says this is the first time it's been legally required.
Perhaps most notable is the bill's statement that life begins with fertilization. This isn't an abortion ban at the same level as North Dakota's or Arkansas's but, as Nash puts it, "a warning shot over the bow." Should the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade, the statement positions Kansas to outlaw abortion. The bill has already arrived on Republican Governor Sam Brownback's desk. Given his pro-life history, the governor will most likely sign it into law.
Women residing in these states hold a tenuous grip on their reproductive rights. Even before the legislatures passed the new anti-abortion measures, women in Kansas and North Dakota already faced enormous challenges to have an abortion. North Dakota only has one clinic that provides them. And Kansas's only clinic just opened last week, four years after the murder of abortion provider Dr. George Tiller.
Abortion restrictions are an area in which states have traditionally looked to one another to find new methods of attack. For instance, Virginia isn't the only state with a sonogram law; eight states require one. Similarly, Kansas's rigid changes to the tax code or the requirement that abortion material provide false information to patients could also catch fire around the country. What's started in a handful of places isn't likely to stay within state lines.

It's kinda simple, Republicans: If you keep telling women we're baby-incubating devices, not citizens, you'll NEVER win another national election! I LOVE infants and children, but I DON'T share your RELIGIOUS belief that blastocysts or embryos or fetuses are "babies." And there's no way in the world that I'm going to allow you to violate the First Amendment by IMPOSING your religious beliefs on the millions of American women who don't SHARE your beliefs!

This is really frightening for women. Anyone my age, 76, remembers when abortion was illegal, and contraception was only a condom for a man or a diaphragm for a woman. Even these were difficult to access. A diaphragm was only obtained if a woman had a prescription from her doctor and not all doctors were advocates of contraception. There were only two in this area at the time. It seems as if the Republicans want to return to those days. What did happen in those "bad old days," was that if a woman was wealthy enough she could access a safe abortion, and this is what a wealthy family could and would do for their daughter or niece or grand daughter. Other girls or women relied on charlatans who would perform unsafe abortions, some girls would self abort. Both of these "options," if you call them "options," often had disastrous results. This is exactly what will happen as abortion becomes more and more inaccessible.
What is most upsetting is that abortion, whether or not you approve, is still a legal option, and those who are making it more and more difficult to access are skirting the law.
What is, also, upsetting, is that many of those who wish to curtail a woman's right to choose to terminate a pregnancy, are the same people who want to eliminate contraception, or free contraception. These same people wish to eliminate SNAP, Medicaid, and other safety nets for young, poor women who decided to carry their pregnancies to term and keep their babies. That is a strange dichotomy.

I wonder if a provider would be allowed to say "The law of this state requires me to tell you, even though it is not scientifically proven, that ..." Prohibiting such a disclaimer would seem to go against freedom of speech. Just as a tobacco dealer could legally show you the warning label on a cigarette and say "personally I do not believe this."

A woman who votes for Republicans is like a black person who votes for the KKK. While Republicans will never be able to rule all 50 states, it is likely that women who need an abortion will have to travel outside of their own state to get one. There are also a lot of parallels between Republicans and radical Muslims when it comes to women and their rights. Something to think about next time you vote. If you want the Republican version of Sharia (Islam legal system), then vote Republican.

A Little Bit of Femininity with Elize 0
The English word feminine is derived from the Latin femina meaning "woman" or "female," and literally "she who suckles! I find this amusing that this female word links to the idea of breasts and feeding and feel that again all of woman hood seems to be associated with the idea of boobs.
Maybe breast do define us as in a physical sense as a woman but I think think femininity is more than that. It includes, behaviours and attribute associated with being female that can actually be seen in all sexes and genders. That could include a love for colours, materials, make-up, heels, romantic comedies – you name the female stero-type and it comes under the umbrella of femininity.
I am ridiculously feminine. I don't shy away from hard graft, but if I can do it in heels, with my make-up on, then I will! And if I need overalls and my Wellies on, then I want to feel feminine underneath.
This can be done with the most stunning set of lingerie called Elize.
It is made from a beautifully feminine lilac satin material and is edged in sexy black lace. The bra itself is slightly padded to give that little bit of extra support and smooth shape.
The straps are also lilac and edged with black and the knickers come in a brief, shorts or thong variety!
It feels pretty and girly and yet had a sultry feel to it.
I just love it and I know you lovely ladies will too.

MABEN – East Webster Wolverines shortstop Jamie McKee can be happy on Friday afternoon that baseball can sometimes be a game of second chances.
After striking out swinging against Hollandale-Simmons pitcher De'Brille Grant in the second inning, McKee hit the next pitch he saw out of the park for a three-run home run in the fourth.
McKee's blast was one of only four hits off Grant, but East Webster was able to do enough with the offense to capture a 5-1 victory in Cumberland. The Wolverines took a 1-0 lead in the first-round Class 2A playoff series.
East Webster head coach Wes Johnson said if any one of his hitters can adjust from one at-bat to the next, it's McKee.
"He's been our most consistent hitter all year," Johnson said. "He's a guy that's played in two All-Star Games and he's had a really good senior year."
Following walks to Codie Silver and Tyler Doss, McKee stepped out and hit a fastball from Grant just inside the leftfield foul pole to break a 1-1 tie.
McKee realized the trick to hitting Grant was not to get in too big of a hurry.
"He was throwing slow so I had to wait back and hit it," McKee said. "He was getting ahead with that breaking ball he throws."
Grant kept the Wolverines off-balance for most of the day. He showed a bit of wildness with seven walks, but also recorded seven strikeouts.
East Webster did get to Grant for a run in the first inning when a baseball hit by Ty Hendrix pulled Hollandale-Simmons first baseman Quintarrius Grant off the bag allowing McKee to score.
The Wolverines returned the favor in the third inning with their only error of the game that helped the Blue Devils tie the game. After Mikell Grey reached on a single. he stole second base, then went to third on a passed ball and came home on the error.
McKee broke the tie and gave starting pitcher Ty Hendrix a three-run lead with his homer and East Webster got one more run in the sixth when Austin Halford executed a perfect squeeze bunt to bring McKee across the plate.
Hendrix pitched around trouble in the sixth and seventh to finish off the win. He had five strikeouts, scattered seven hits and only walked two.
Johnson knows Hendrix can pitch better.
"Ty sometimes struggles throwing his breaking ball for strikes," Johnson said. "He got fortunate that there were some hard hit balls right at people and we made the plays. It was definitely not one of his better outings."
Other than the long ball off McKee's bat, Halford, Doss and Ty Hendrix had one single each.
Even though Grant's deceptive nature on the mound made things tough for the Wolverines, Johnson thought his club should have performed better on a day after the school held its prom.
"We didn't play very well and didn't hit very well, but we squeaked out a win," Johnson said. "I don't know if it didn't have more to do with us staying out until 2 a.m. after the prom last night. We're going to see if we can get the cobwebs out before we go home (Friday)."
East Webster, which improved its record to 16-5, travel to Hollandale today for the second and possible third games scheduled to begin at noon.

Fast forward now the time is right for those two to go at it and now people are mousing up and clamoring to Jon Jones despite GSP having the better resume.
It's my opinion that Silva wants to take things one step at at time and perhaps test the waters against GSP. He has a good chance at beating Pierre but he also has a good chance of getting smotherfucked to a UD.
Jon Jones is a bigger test however Jones has unfinished business right now with Henderson/Sonnen. Unlike GSP his plate isn't clear.
In terms of superfights GSP vs Silva makes sense otherwise GSP needs to fight Hendrix and Silva needs to fight whomever the true number 1 contender is at mw.
I remember awhile back people didn't want to see Fedor lose to anyone but found peace of mind that he lost to someone like Werdum. For me if Silva is going to lose a fight I would rather it be against another legend and not some up and comer.
Do I honestly think Weidman can beat Silva no not really as I see him getting KTFO in the 1st but the risk is still there. I have seen too many wrestlers smotherfuck their way to victory and I hate that part of MMA.
If they fought like Tito in his prime I wouldn't have a problem against them. Hell Tito was one of my favorite fighters.

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – Wilson College will hold a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 28, to marking the opening of the Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition. The exhibit, presented by Wilson's Department of Fine Arts and Dance, will continue through April 20 in the Bogigian Gallery, which is located on the second floor of Lortz Hall.
DATE: March 14, 2012
CONTACT: Philip Lindsey, Associate Professor of Fine Arts
PHONE: 717-264-4141, Ext. 3305
EMAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com
The show provides a venue for Wilson students to share their work with the community. Like most open calls for entry, the exhibit will feature drawings, paintings, prints, ceramics, photographs and mixed-media artwork with a wide array of subject matter and content.
This year's juror is Marti Yeager, a 1978 Wilson College graduate and local artist who regularly exhibits throughout the region.
The exhibit is modeled after the famous salons of 19th century Paris, when the French government organized official exhibits that were juried by respected artist/academics. These were important exhibitions and were often the only venues for artists to share their work with the public.
In 1863, some 3,000 artists were rejected from the salon, including Cezanne, Manet and Whistler. Although artwork was refused every year, protests erupted over so many rejections and sparked Napoleon III to order an exhibit of the refused works so members of the public could decide for themselves if the artworks were indeed substandard.
In the spirit of the nonconforming artists who were refused from the state-sponsored event, Wilson's student art exhibition will also include a Salon des Refusés (Salon of Refusals). Works rejected from the exhibit will be displayed in the second- and third-floor studios of Lortz Hall, and viewers are invited to decide for themselves now, as they were in Paris, if the art is substandard or not.
The Bogigian Gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Admission is free. For additional information or an appointment, contact Philip Lindsey at 717-264-4141, Ext. 3305, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Founded in 1869, Wilson College is a liberal arts college dedicated to the education of women. Affiliated with the Presbyterian Church and located in Chambersburg, Pa. Wilson offers bachelor's degrees in 30 areas and master's degrees in education and the humanities. The college's 2011-12 enrollment in the College for Women and the Adult Degree Programs is 746 and includes 21 students from 10 foreign countries.

Computer Science Professor Awarded $400,000 Grant
Erin Chambers, Ph.D., assistant professor of computer science, has been awarded the National Science Foundation CAREER Award, a five-year grant totaling over $400,000, as part of its Faculty Early Career Development Program to support her research in computational topology.
|Erin Chambers, Ph.D.
The continuing grant award allows Chambers to continue and extend her research in computational geometry and topology, an area of study that lies at the intersection of computer science and applied mathematics.
While the application of this complex research is far-reaching, Chambers summarizes some uses in simple terms.
"What it's used for is things like mesh generation - like in Pixar movies - how to move those meshes and how to code video games that represent things with triangles." she said. "You need to know properties of those meshes, how to create them, how to manipulate them and what to do with them."
The CAREER award, part of the NSF's Faculty Early Career Development Program, is given to junior faculty in mathematics, science and engineering who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of education and research within the context of the mission of their organizations.
Chambers' work does precisely that; it integrates her research into her teaching and advising.
Part of the grant money will be allocated to fund undergraduate and graduate assistantships, allowing SLU students to be, as Chambers puts it, "extremely involved," in the research process and ideally pursue their thesis research in the same field.
Another Dimension
Chambers' research develops algorithms to compute shortest paths and maximum flows on non-planar surfaces. Her work has applications in medical imaging, statistical analysis of high-dimensional data sets, shape modeling and flow and routing problems.
"Part of my research is looking at graph theory. We represent a lot of objects as graphs and imagine they lie on a surface. A lot of graphs are planar and just lie flat. My graphs lie on higher-dimensional surfaces, such as donuts and surfaces with multiple handles."
It also has other applications for researchers working with large sets of data.
"If you have a huge data set, you can always represent it as a very high-dimensional set of points and start to ask, 'What can learn about this data if I can see it as a surface?'" Chambers said. "Think about an application in biological research where you represent a protein structure to predict how it may move."
The research also touches areas of our daily lives where you have probably never considered computational geometry, or anything close to that, but strive for optimization.
"Imagine that you have a set of supply centers and they're creating product that needs to be shipped to demand centers. Starbucks, for example, may ask how it can place their chains to optimally serve everybody.' That all ties back into the geometry involved in the research."
About Chambers
Chambers joined the SLU faculty in 2008 as an assistant professor in the department of mathematics and computer science. She completed her doctorate in computer science at the University of Illinois at Champaign, where she also earned her bachelor's and master's degrees.
She is a 2009 recipient of the SLU Summer Research Award and was an NSF Graduate Research Fellow from 2002-07.

I run windows 7, and i was opening a jpg file i downloaded from the web. I opened the file with windows image viewer, closed it and when i tried to delete it it told me i couldnt do that because the file was still open in System. I tried again and got the same response. After a few tries, maybe like 5-10 sec, it deleted as normally. I then remade the file and it deleted fine with no error.
But now im a little worried, that it might have been open in System because it was installing some virus or trojan? or am i just being paranoid and it was just slow to close? I have never seen this before. Although i also panicked a little when the same thing happened with an avi file, where it said something about server not responding. I know now that that was nothing to worry about, but is this?
I have researched it a bit, and the only thing i have found is ISO files getting this error because they are mounted, but nothing for simple jpgs.

Tested on 32bit and 64bit Statler
Google Earth seems to throw up error messages lately:
setup.data/setup.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty
setup.data/setup.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found
Couldn't load 'setup.data/setup.xml'
So here is the cure:
1. First install "lsb-core"
sudo apt-get install lsb-core
2. Download and extract Google Earth to a temporary dIrectory:
wget http://dl.google.com/earth/client/current/GoogleEarthLinux.bin && chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin && ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin --target /tmp/ge
I did this with Crunchbang 64, and the Google earth gui installer opened automatically, so I just clicked "install" and that was it.
However, if yours doesn't, launch the installer like this:
3. Run the installer:
cd /tmp/ge
The new Google Earth didn't give me any gtk2 problems, if yours does, do this:
4. Change to the temp directory and change setupgtk to setupgtk2:
cd /tmp/ge/setup.data/bin/Linux/x86/
sudo mv setup.gtk setup.gtk2
cd /tmp/ge
5. Run the installer again:
Now the Google Gui installer will open.
I have had to use this method on three machines, you may not get errors installing the normal way on your machine. There may also be another fix, but this is the way I did it.

As well. As I said at the end, there is probably another fix, but I didn't add the repos. I prefer to manually install 3rd party apps.
Obviously, the bonus with adding the repos is that you get all the latest updates
Thanks for the tip.

Just be prepared for your update time to slow down after you add the google repositories.

I think I installed using that package in the repo. It basically downloads the binary then converts it into a deb.
I experienced the error described by richs-lxh
My - less elegant - workaround has also worked in the past when I have experienced errors from the googleearth website packages:
"borrow" the deb packages from medibuntu repository
There are two packages; install the data package first, then the second package. On my 32 bit squeeze & testing distros this gives no problems. Current version is googleearth 5.1.3509 from medibuntu
Looks like the same error still hasn't been fixed on Google 6
So... I've tried installing it manually and through the repository, and in both cases it gives me "Google Earth has caught signal 11", because it can't find the Nvidea drivers that are properly installed... (I have also turned off system eye candy, but it doesn't fix it.) The last page of this seems to solve this by turning off starting tips. But I can't do this because when I go to the file ~/.config/Google/GoogleEarthPlus.conf, the relevant section does not exist.
I would like to try installing the Medibuntu repositories version, but when I try to add the repos with
sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update
it gives me a 404.
Could I get your advice about what to try next? Thanks...

...But I'm ever so squeezable!
I never did get this to work properly with a 5200FX. I did eventually get it installed and running but it wasn't properly accelerated and hence unusable. nVidia drivers don't do OpenGL properly, and certainly not using the drivers Google Earth is probably looking for. Might work better with Nouveau drivers?
In contrast, it works great with the (rather crappy) Intel built in graphics. Open source drivers, finally quite good in recent versions, a good OpenGL from Mesa, and I can zip about very smoothly.

I have just updated this guide, as I just installed Google Earth on 64bit Statler.

Nice one, I hope your new machine is going well. It appears to be if your identi.ca dents are anything to go by
Yeah lol! I went a bit mad didn't I?
No but seriously, this box flies, it's just unbelievable!
I havent used google earth in a long time. I use most other google services, including G+, Blogger, Sites, YouTube, Chrome, Gmail, and Maps, most of which are to RMS's dismay. Either way I use them, but I haven't used G Earth in forever, primarily because in Ubuntu once I switched to Linux, G Earth looked like the Clearlooks theme and didn't integrate with unity nicely, so I kinda gave up. I guess I could use it nowadays since I don't use Ubuntu, but I did run into issues with the xf86-ati-video package and G Earth, when I last attempted to install it on Arch via the AUR. (They CONFLICTED ) So I don't use it nowadays.

I love it! It's the perfect classic red with a cool undertone. I think looks good on everyone. And it's suuuuper matte, for me, looks beautiful. Also, it's very dry, so, you need to exfoliate and moisturize your lips before apply ruby woo.

This is my perfect nude. Never have I ever encountered a lipstick that fit me so much; fit my lips so perfectly that it left me in total awe. I just started getting into MAC lipsticks this year and I thought after Fresh Brew, there couldn't be a more perfect nude for me until Crème Cerise came along. I hate that MAC made this limited edition. I've fallen so head over heels in love with it that it hurts me to even use it now, knowing I'll have to scramble to find another seller of it. Definitely worth every dollar and cent I paid for it. Bring this back now, MAC! I neeed it!!
I love this lipstick! It's really easy to get a crisp line straight from the bullet with this formula. It never gathers or looks dry. It's not moisturising, but it's not drying either. I always prep my lips with MAC Lip Conditioner before I wear their mattes, blot my lips then apply the lipstick. After about 4 hours of wear I dab a tiny bit of Lip Conditioner over the top and that keeps my lips happy. I can skip that step without
On my NC20 skintone (I have neutral-to-warm undertones) it looks like a warm-toned red, super flattering and lovely. However on my NC40 friend, it looks straight orange (though just as lovely)! I was shocked to see it's such a chameleon!
I got this as a Back 2 Mac shade, almost as an afterthought – and I am impressed! It's crazy pigmented, and the shade is so flattering – much more so than I expected.
It can be hard to get a crisp line straight from the bullet, and one does NEED a clear line with a shade like this. The upside is, it's so matte that I can go outside my natural lip line and it will stay there. It's not drying or hydrating – I dab a little lip conditioner over the top after about 4 hours and I'm good.
It really creates a classic, pin-up look – AND it does actually makes my teeth look whiter (no, really!!).

I feel like this IS a pretty lipstick, and the consistency and colour in the tube is lovely. It also seems to look great on everyone else… but me!? It just makes me look a little alien (in a bad way – not a Scarlett Johansson way unfortunately) so for that reason, it's a little regret in buying it.
Lustering has to be one of my favourite lipstick colours from MAC. It is such a perfectly pretty berry-pink (as opposed to a milky pink) that I just love wearing. My only complaint is that as it is a Lustre (not a Frost, as it's described above), it is not all that long-wearing. But I love it so much that I can overlook that one flaw a bit, though I am always on the lookout for something like Lustering but in a more long-lasting formula.
I found that this shade washed out my skin, just too pale for my liking. Not very long wearing at all and found it to be too drying on my lips, so I would recommend a lip primer or moisturise lips with a balm of some sort. Heard so many reviews boosting this shade so wanted to jump on board and try it for myself, now regretting my purchase.
A beautiful orange-red with a true matte finish. Once it is on it will stay for an extremely long time but it does take a bit to apply as it is a very dry finish lipstick. I suggest applying a thin layer of balm shortly before application.

I'm totally in love with this shade for spring, it's my perfect coral; not too pastel but not too bright and leans more towards orange than pink. Application and wearability are excellent like most MAC lipsticks, it's moisturising and doesn't bleed. It applies well and is opaque in a coat or two giving even coverage. The finish is similar to other MAC amplified formulas, creamy and opaque with a slight sheen to the finish. The formula feels lightweight and moisturising on the lips, it really is a dream to wear.
It will last a good few hours and has will cope ok with moderate drinking and eating, I've managed a coffee and a snack without loosing all colour or getting the dreaded outer ring of colour but it's not a 'long lasting' lipstick so don't expect miracles.
Another excellent MAC lipstick.

Good red but makes me look older than my age. it looks super nice on Christine but turned "brownish-red"on me (and brown has never been a good lip color for me). I'm NC 15- NC 20 with yellow undertone. overall, a great product especially for girls with pink/neutral undertones.

A great blue toned red with gold micro-shimmer. It makes your teeth really white because of the blue in it, but because of the gold it makes it very wearable for a lot of people. I don't like frosty lipsticks, and I don't own any other Frosts from MAC, but this is really pretty and it's hard to tell it's even a frost. It's quickly become one of my favorite red lipsticks.

Naturally whenever someone as awesome as Hayley Williams does a collab with mac, I had to snatch this lipstick up as soon as possible. Although, the orange pigment is beautiful, the lipstick did leave more to be desired. I found that when first applying the orange didn't look as good as it could without a good layer of primer. As it dried, the pigment seemed to concentrate/saturate and become much more noticeable, so I had to take it off and then reapply it thinner. Sounds Like Noise is such a beautiful true orange, however it takes a few wears to feel out exactly the right amount of primer and lipstick to wear to look optimum, but ultimately I would buy Sounds Like Noise again.
I am loving MAC lipsticks every time I buy but usually I make it a point to really check the color, because it might match my skin tone. As for their matte collection its a total rager and long lasting it also doesn't dry the lips. Comparing to the cremesheen viand cremesheen is not that long lasting, you may want to re apply after an hour. As for satin viand, it is quite long lasting in the lips.
The thing that i like about MAC lipsticks is its very affordable.
Its a beautiful wine red color but I was displeased to find that this color has been released by MAC just with a different name. I hate when companies release the same product labeled with a new name. Studded Kiss is an exact dupe of MAC's Fixed On Drama from the
Retro Matte Collection and Dark Side. And Riri Hearts MAC Heaux might be another dupe. I have yet to swatch that one side by side with Studded Kiss but I assume its dupable too. I guess it will be years before I have to go out and buy another wine colored lipstick.
After having missed the boat with the last release of this gorgeous lip color, I thought I'd just have to let the idea go and either find a dupe or live without the perfect bright purple lipstick that I so craved. And then MAC heard my cries and released this into the permanent line! Huzzah!
I picked it up today and immediately applied it in the car. And it's glorious. Even though it's a matte shade, it doesn't dry out my lips like their matte formula usually does. It's actually quite weightless and comfortable.
It applies at full opacity with one swipe, but I have noticed that it is just ever so slightly patchy in the center of my bottom lip. I've not yet applied it over P+P Lip, however. I suspect it'll perform better over that.
It's super long-lasting. I've gone through a bottle of water and a hot tea and while there is transfer, it doesn't migrate all over my mouth or look super-faded. It also does not feather, which is practically miraculous on me.
I'm so glad I picked this up. Violetta was a touch too sheer for my liking – I need full coverage on my not-pigmented-at-all lips. So the re-launch of this amazing color is a godsend.
One of the Lady GaGa shades, Made To Order is a frosted mauve gold that would be a YLBB shade (your lips but better) if you lived in the world of the glitterati. On light skin it has enough color to not look washed out. Applies evenly and is buildable to become really golden-frosty. A little less moisturizing than the rest of the line.
Just missed the season to be wearing PLINK! — a frosty, beachy beige-pink. Lots of light beige pinks can look pasty or washed out on light skin. Plink is pink enough to look rosy but with the sandy shimmer that's fun in summer lip palettes. Goes on evenly, is buildable for a light kiss natural look or a frosty lip big sunglasses, big hat look.

Sequin is a fun shade for going a little sparkly without being loud about it. It's a mid-toned pink that is a little to the mauve side, but has a gllittery sheen to it. Kind of a YLBB (your lips but better) shade with some bling. Applies evenly and is long-wearing, although it's a little less moisturizing than some of the other MAC cream shades.
This is probably one of my favourite MAC lipsticks! The colour is a flattering light to neutral pink and works as an every day colour. The formula is creamy and moisturising, leaving a nice sheen on the lips. It's not long wearing though (3 hours) , but that's not an issue for me personally.
I bought two of this lipstick, because I honestly think I don't want to live without a backup! I've always loved reds, but the amount of pink in Love Goddess makes it quite special, in my opinion — Not to mention this is one of the most long-wearing lipsticks I've owned!
For those who couldn't get their hands on Love Goddess, NARS Luxembourg is a good alternative, in my opinion.
I don't have Ruby Woo but I am really starting to love matte lippies so when this restocked, I ordered it. I don't find it overly drying, even for a matte ( I use Chanel Rouge Allure Velvets, Rimmel London Kate mattes and Lime Crime Velvetines for comparison ) but I practice a pretty intensive regular lipcare routine to exfoliate, treat fine lines, hydrate, etc. I think that's the secret to successfully wear both mattes and the pale colors that show every little imperfection. Since it's well pigmented, I can get away with a little overdrawing so I'll likely use a lip brush for precision but even a quick application from the tube left a nice, clean edge. There are several color dupes for Ruby Woo but this one is as much about the formula and performance. I think it's worth splurging on if you normally buy drugstore formulas, and it's a smart all-season deep cool red to add to a higher end collection and won't underperform next to luxury brands.
I literally love this color! It is so beautiful on medium skin tones. I love the cremesheen formula because it is so moisturizing and smooth. I actually bought mine yesterday and fell in love with it when I tried it on in the store. However it did melt a little in the car ride home and the lipstick is really hard to open. I think I got a defective one. But I would still recommend this Mac lipstick to everyone due to the sheer formula that blends into your natural lip color.
I have very fair skin with yellow-neutral undertones, and this lipstick looks so flattering on me! It's matte so not the most moisturizing formula, but it's not drying either and doesn't really tug or pull when applying. It is very long lasting, I wore it for my wedding banquet (+10 dishes!) and only had to reapply at the end. Although it doesn't tend to bleed, I use with MAC Cherry lip liner to get a very defined edge. Super recommended!
I won't write too much since this was limited edition, but it's one of my favourite lipsticks ever. If I had known I would love it so much I would have bought several. It's a really smooth and comfortable consistency so it applies really nicely. It has a gorgeous gloss and subtle sparkle that makes it such a pretty neutral with something extra. Wears for a stupidly short time and mine did snap very easily, but the colour is just so wonderful I was generous with the rating!

I love this lipstick! Matte finishes are my absolute favourite, and the darker the better! Such a beautiful shade the honestly doesn't seem all that intimidating to wear out of the house. It's just the right amount of vampy without appearing too gothic, for those who aren't going for that look. Forever gutted that it isn't permanent, but so happy I picked it up when it was available. It wears for a good amount of time, and does withstand eating and drinking to an extent, but inevitably inner-lip wear does occur. I gave it a 4/5 because for some reason or another it smells pretty gross. I don't know if it's limited to the one I bought, but it definitely does not have the sweet vanilla scent associated with MAC lipsticks.
If anyone wishes they could get their hands on it then try out Nightmoth Lip Pencil by MAC because it's almost the exact same shade. I love wearing them together.

I have such a personal struggle to find light/nude lipstick shades that suit me, so I feel particularly strongly about this lipstick because it is the PERFECT nude shade for me. I notice the product is listed as limited edition, but I've seen it on the MAC website for at least the last 6 months, so I really recommend it to anyone who finds traditional/popular nude shades too 'corpsey' on themselves. In terms of application it is very smooth, comfortable and moisturising. It in no way draws attention to lip lines, and does not emphasise them either. I did not give it 5 stars simply because it doesn't last for a particularly long time (especially when eating and drinking occur).

I have a medium/ olive skintone with yellow undertones. My lips are slightly darker.
The colour is so pretty! On me though, it was a very sheer orange. I had to apply this several times to get a brighter orange. It looks so pretty when wearing it with the blushers! Out of the colours I bought from the MAC All about orange collection (Tart and Trendy, Sushi Kiss, Flamingo and Razzledazzler), this was the sheerest colour payoff but nevertheless it is a lovely lipstick!

I was hoping that this colour would be the best one from the collection but i'm very much on the line about this. When I put this on from the tube, it was really pastel orange on the lips – kinda like how some neon pink colours are on me where my lips look a little scary. Think MAC saint germain but in coral and not as bright. There is a plus side though! Once I blotted my lips with tissue to take away the excess, it revealed a beautiful coral nude shade which is perfect. Out of the colours I bought from the MAC All about orange collection (Tart and Trendy, Razzledazzler, Flamingo and Tangerine dream) this was the strangest. It might work better with a gloss over it.

On me, this colour was the best. It's a beautiful coral and perfect to wear daily. Out of the colours I bought from the MAC All about orange collection (Razzledazzler, Sushi Kiss, Flamingo and Tangerine dream). This was one of my favourites. Highly recommend it!

On me, this colour was a pretty sheer coral/pink. Out of the colours I bought from the MAC All about orange collection (Tart and Trendy, Sushi Kiss, Flamingo and Tangerine dream). This was one of my favourites. This is a perfect girlie every day colour. Highly reccommend it!
I would have NEVER thought this was a color I could pull off, but it actually looks nice against my super pale (Bobbi Brown Alabaster) skin. It has just enough pink in it that it doesn't clash. My only issue is it is really difficult to get it even on my lips in one layer. I have to put some on, blot, and layer on more to get even coverage. I have found that if I use MAC Lasting Sensation lip pencil under it, then it goes on smoother. The color lasts quite a long time on me too, but it can be a bit drying.
This is my go-to light pink, Sunny Seoul is a little shimmery and definitely on the sheer side so it's a great choice for easy color. Because of the shimmer it can go on unevenly especially if your lips are dry. For some reason on my skintone this reads slightly blue but not too bright, where Pink Pearl Pop was super neon, so I definitely like this one better.
This is a gorgeous neutral/slightly cool medium-ish pink. I say medium-ish because on fair skin it's slightly darker than my natural lipcolor, but for darker and richer skin tones it would definitely be light. Good coverage, not sticky at all, and just enough blue tinge to make my teeth look extra white. I have to mention also, I bought this on a whim in store having not been much of a lipstick person before, and it set me on a MAC lipstick bender like no other. I love it!
I bought this shade on a whim and it ended up being the color I liked the most from the Après Chic collection. It's very versatile and looks great paired with a warm smoky eye. On me it looks peachy gold. It does have that metallic quality to it so it's not the creamiest shade but I have terribly dry lips and it doesn't bother them. I have been pleasantly surprised with this shade.
Clearly this is not a color for everyone. It is different and eye catching but that is what most of us love about Mac anyway. The consistency is smooth and wonderful and opaque with one swipe. For most people this color requires a little creativity as far as lip liner and/or lip gloss but that's what makes makeup so fun. I haven't worn it a lot because it is a little high maintenance but I'm still glad I bought it. I pair it with NYX lip liner in Purple Rain and it looks awesome. It also looks good with pink and purple glosses.
This was an impulse buy for me, I got a text on my phone from MAC saying it was available and just snatched it up. I'm glad I did. I don't own Ruby Woo so I can't do a comparison, but I do love this color. It's a nice, cool tone red that would work well on a lot of skin tones. I'm not sure if it's the finishing powder that I use or the lipstick itself, but it's very long lasting. The only reason I give it 4.5 starts instead of a perfect 5 is because of the texture. It is very dry so I always wear a lip primer with it (Mac Lip Prime) so it goes on better and doesn't feel so dry on my lips. Other then that I love the stuff.
Such a showstopper of a red color! It's super flattering on my warm skin due to it's orange tones and is my bright, sexy red (Russian Red is my darker red shade). Lasts probably 4-5 hours and leaves a slight stain behind. I would definitely recommend going into a MAC store to try it on before buying it as it is a very bright shade. It's a great shade of red for summertime!

A beautiful shade of red! I have warm toned skin and this is still very flattering on me. It's my darker, sexier shade of red (Lady Danger is my bright red). Even though it's not a hydrating lipstick, it's very creamy when it goes on and it's opaque in one sweep. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great, versatile red.
I am NOT a RiRi fan, but I am a fan of red lipsticks. I went with this one because I don't have Ruby Woo (although I have worn it when borrowed from a friend). For one, I think it is NOT a perfect dupe for Ruby Woo, but it isn't a major difference in the color. It is slightly darker and bluer but nothing major. It does however seem to feel a bit more comfortable on the lips and is less drying that Ruby Woo. It isn't very forgiving if you have dry/chapped lips so you definitely need to prep your lips first if you have any flakiness that you need to take care of.
When applying for the first time I noticed a lot more tugging on the lips than I am used to, but subsequent applications have been much better. As I mentioned, I expected it to be extremely drying like Ruby Woo was but to my surprise it really wasn't. It's definitely not hydrating either though. If wearing a matte is just too much for you then you can apply a little lip balm on top and rub your lips together. This will change the texture but the color remains on the lips. Just something to consider if you love the color but not the feel of matte (or retro matte in this case).
If you aren't a RiRi fan, you don't have a love of all lip products that are red, and/or you already own Ruby Woo then you can skip this one with no regrets.
Another MLBB shade. a very good way to go the nude lip route if you're not one for those beige-toned ones that just make you look washed out. It's almost a fleshy pink that just works and has enough color to not make you look like a corpse. lovely.

Definitely a MLBB shade, at least for me! I love this for work and class or just those outings where you want to feel polished but not necessarily turn heads everywhere you do. it's a comforting look. Some have had issues with the cremesheen line, in terms of dryness and such, but it works fine for me
lovely color, suits my skin really well. love that it can be applied super sheerly for a pretty stain, or layered on for a pin-up look. I've worn it numerous times, and always get tons of compliments. Since it is matte in texture, it is not the most hydrating lipstick out there; make sure to apply lip balm a few hours before you plan to apply this lipstick.
Please Me is one of MAC's underrated permanent items (of which there are many!). It's a great basic item to have – pink but not bright, neutral but still noticeable. The matte finish pairs excellently with this shade – in my opinion the finish is what makes this shade sing. This is one of my staple products. I have almost used a whole tube and will buy another when I use it up.

I obviously bought this lipstick because I love Rihanna! Aside from that, I'm completely in love with the color and finish. There is something very classic and sexy about the effect. I've never worn red lipstick, but this is a very positive step into that direction. If you're looking for something super moisturizing, this isn't the lipstick for you. If you love the look Rihanna has made her signature, cop RiRiWoo when it rereleases in the fall.
Love love love this! I just bought it today as a random pick when I went into my local MAC store to find a good red lipstick. I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did. It's very soft and creamy when you put it on though it's not a moisturizing lipstick (I have great lip balm that might help with that). It lasted about 6 hours on me but then again, I wasn't doing much eating or drinking, and it did leave a slight stain behind afterwards. You also don't have to put a lot on in order to have it be opaque which is great. Plus, it supports a great cause so it was totally worth it. I might buy another one. It's a great, bright, and fun color for spring/summer. I love the fact that it's a warm-toned pink since so many pink lipsticks are cool-toned/blue-based.
I was actually kind of terrified of this color but I bought it because it had so many good reviews. It was such a good choice! The color really compliments my skin (I'm pale but warm toned) and, according to my friends, lights my whole face up. It's very easy to tone down if you put it on lightly: by doing this, I can make it more coral toned than pure orange. I would definitely give it a try as it's a great color for summer!
Fantastic red that suit most skin tones. On my lips, it's as a cool tone red as much as a berry-ish red.
Long lasting and easy to apply.
A perfect dupe for this is Maybelline ColorSensational in Red Revival (645). The same shade but with a glossier finish. It doesn't last as long on the lips, though.
Creme Cup is a nice, blue-pink lipstick that feels creamy but doesn't go on quite as creamy on the lips. If you have any lip imperfections (like lip wrinkles or patchiness) Creme Cup will emphasize it. Otherwise this is an excellent lipstick that creates that perfect, glossy pink lip but looks best with a semi-sheer or sheer lip gloss. I usually pair Creme Cup with with a milky pink lip gloss for perfect lips. 😀
Nude for those who look 'dead' in canon nudes. It is definitely pink, and described as "light blue pink" by MAC. On me it looks very neutral–muted dusty pink, a bit lighter then my natural lip color. Looks great with dark eye-makeup, or everyday 'natural' looks.
Formula-wise it is opaque, not drying, doesn't bleed or settle into lines, wears well (~3-4 hours) and fades w/o drama leaving my lips in presentable condition. A staple in my makeup bag, a must have pinkish nude–very flattering on fair skin (can look milky w/ tan).

text: they are a very small company that mostly stays in one arena. Did you expect it to have a huge event just like wrestlemania? While it IS the big PPV of the year, I think the fact that wwe's wrestlemania is overhyped, in a massive arena, has singers etc makes a huge difference. Take that away and what is it? a normal ppv. I think it is just because tna is a very small company compared to wwe and you can't expect the same big event from them. As for storylines I hope they have good enough buildup in the next month and then we shall see.

The Board of County Commissioners' renewed pledge of civility was tested during Tuesday's regular meeting.
Barbed comments were exchanged between commissioners, former commissioners and staff during a testy meeting that included debates on a jail inspection and the removal of the old Bay Medical/Beacon Hill Living sign in Beacon Hill.
During a period of calm early in the 140-minute meeting, commissioners received an update on legal issues pertaining to redistricting and county-wide voting as well as a recap and proposed path forward for beach restoration on St. Joseph Peninsula.
The county and the federal decree under which elections are conducted was not impacted by a recent U.S. Supreme Court which struck down a section of the Voting Rights Act, said attorney Michael Spellman, the county's counsel on election matters.
The federal decree put in place in Gulf County in 1986, Spellman said, fell under the jurisdiction spelled out in Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
The Supreme Court decision impacted only Sections 4-5 and, in Florida, five counties under the mandates of those sections.
Commissioners approved 3-2 (Smiley, McLemore dissenting) to spend $8,000-$12,000 for Spellman to research whether voting districts are sufficiently "compact", the first prong to a motion to overturn the federal decree.
The beach nourishment project, consulting engineer Michael Dombrowski said, was a success that is now seeing, in what was the normal timeline, some loss of sand in the southern end of the project, closest to the Stump Hole.
Additional sand had initially been placed in the southern section with the idea that much would accrete to the northern section. Indeed, four years after completion of the project the southern section has lost 65 percent of its sand while the northern section had gained 19 percent.
Dombrowski proposed reforming the Beach Advisory Committee, examining a scope of work, costs and potential funding sources to continue the nourishment work.
Temperatures rose as the meeting turned to commissioner concerns and Commissioner Joanna Bryan revisited two issues raised at a previous meeting – a meeting that also included for a call to return to the Pledge of Civility commissioners entered into last year.
Bryan moved for the county to proceed with removing a sign in Beacon Hill that is out of compliance, not located on the permitted land, is in a county right-of-way and has been left in disrepair for several years.
The sign formerly marked the entrance to a Bay Medical Center facility that once operated at the site of Beacon Villa assisted living facility, owned before foreclosure by former Commissioner Bill Williams.
Commissioners voted to remove the sign at a prior meeting, provided Williams was given 10 days to provide any proof of ownership as all county paperwork indicated the sign belonged to Bay Medical, which did not want it.
Commissioner Carmen McLemore asserted Bryan "misled" commissioners on ownership of the sign – Williams lobbed the same charge; both times Bryan answered, "I am not going to let that lay; I did not mislead anybody" – and suggested the board reverse itself and provide Williams a 70-day window to bring the sign into compliance.
"Am I to understand the board now wants to keep the sign?" Bryan said. "A dangerous precedent is being set here."
Williams also provided a letter from Sacred Heart Bay Medical Center – Bryan questioned the representation from Williams in securing the letter – indicating the sign reverted to Williams upon the termination of the lease agreement with Bay Medical.
Jeremy Novak said the land use agreement with the county had expired, raising issues of legality over compliance, and McLemore moved to extend the agreement.
Commissioners approved that motion – and the 70-day window to bring the sign in compliance – 4-1, Bryan dissenting.
They did so after hearing from one neighbor.
"The sign is an eyesore, it is blight," said Sharon Winchester. "It has degraded over time. Commissioner McLemore, it's not in your neighborhood ... Commissioner Bryan is trying to do her best for District 3.
"Commissioner (Ward) McDaniel. You promised the sign would need to go last week."
Bryan added that the sign has been blighted for years, constituents want it removed and Williams has had plenty of time and opportunities to solve the problem.
"The sign should not have been allowed in the first place," Bryan said.
The edge in tone continued as Bryan said she wanted to have an inspection of the jail.
The jail carried liability issues, had not been inspected in recent years and the county could secure a free inspection through a contact with the Florida Sheriff's Association she had been made aware of.
She said an annual inspection was required, through the Department of Corrections has not been enforcing that requirement in recent years.
"At least it shows we are doing something," Bryan said, noting the jail budget is over $1 million. "I'm concerned about the liability to the county and I am concerned about my role in that liability."
Jail administrator Michael Hammond disagreed, recommending against an inspection, adding the county can not afford to meet Modern Jail Standards, the template against which an inspection would gauge the jail.
He and Commissioner Warren Yeager argued that small counties typically will not meet inspections and Yeager wondered why bring attention to any deficiencies when the jail has been operating without incident.
"We have a jail that doesn't have an issue and you are pressing the issue," Yeager said.
Bryan said she could and would ask for the inspection as an individual commissioner; Hammond said no one would enter the jail for an inspection without a vote of the full board or approval from county administrator Don Butler.
Bryan questioned whether Hammond would refuse a commissioner and inspector entrance; Hammond repeated his previous statement.
The BOCC entertained no motions.
