Ted Farrar, author of Dreamers wrote:Sophie Taylor has returned to Africa after a long absence, and is forced to confront the tragedies of her past – the murder of her fiancé and loss of her unborn daughter. Milele Safari records this spiritual journey of acceptance, healing and romance against the stunning, often savage and always unpredictable backdrop of Africa.
It is hard to believe this is Jan Hawke's first novel – she is such an accomplished writer that you can almost taste the dust of Africa in your throat, picture the characters as if you're sitting beside them around the campfire. The story takes you back and forth from past to present and back again, unflinchingly exploring the essence of Africa through Sophie's experiences. Ultimately it's a romance, but this is no Mills & Boon. It deserves no less than five stars because not only is it an engrossing story but seemingly accomplishes the impossible by revealing the soul of Africa, warts and all.

The debacle brought forth by the New York Times Benghazi whitewash and comments from Fox News Benghazi sources referring to the report as "baloney" lead me to re-purpose a graphic created back in 2011 (almost 2 years ago to the day)...

The New York Times is being accused of publishing a whitewashed version of the attack in Benghazi that concludes it wasn't terrorism, and liberals are EATING it up...
Power Line and The Weekly Standard (among others) destroy this myth here and here.
I thought this would be a good opportunity to compile some of the graphics that have been swirling around social media since September 11, 2012 that others have created along with myself that remind Democrats that terrorism or not (and it was terrorism) Benghazi is significant for a more important reason...

The city of Oslo was established as a municipality on 3 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). It was separated from the county of Akershus as a county of its own in 1842. The rural municipality of Aker was merged with Oslo on 1 January 1948 (and then transferred from Akershus county to Oslo county). Furthermore, Oslo shares several important functions with Akershus county.
Oslo's share of the national GDP is 17%; the metropolitan area's share is 25%. Oslo is one of the most expensive cities in the world.
The population of the municipality of Oslo is 568,809 (as of 1 July 2008). The urban area extends beyond the boundaries of the municipality into the surrounding county of Akershus, (muncipallities of Bærum, Asker, Røyken, Skedsmo, Sørum, Oppegård) its agglomeration totaling 856,915,. The metropolitan area of Oslo, also referred to as the Greater Oslo Region (Stor-Osloregionen), has a land area of and, in 2005, an estimated population of 1,121,020. In the entire Inner Oslo Fjord Region, there is a total population of about 1.3 million. About 50% of the population of Norway lives within a radius of of downtown Oslo. The city of Oslo has a current annual growth exceeding 10,000, which makes it one of the fastest growing cities in Europe.
The city centre of Oslo is situated at the end of the Oslofjord from where the city sprawls out both to the north and to the south on both sides of the fjord giving the city area more or less the shape of a "U". To the north and east wide forested hills ('Marka') rise above the city giving the location the shape of giant amphitheatre.
The urban municipality (bykommune) of Oslo and county (fylke) is the same entity, making Oslo the only city in Norway where two administrative levels are integrated. Of Oslo's total area, is built-up and is agricultural. The open areas within the built-up zone amount to .
During the Middle Ages the name was initially spelled 'Ásló', later 'Ósló'. The earlier spelling suggests that the first component 'ás' refers either to the Ekeberg ridge southeast of the town ('ås' in modern Norwegian), or to the Norse homonym meaning 'god' or 'divinity'. The most likely interpretations would therefore be 'the meadow beneath the ridge' or 'the meadow of the gods'. Both are equally plausible.
A fire in 1624 destroyed much of the medieval city (the section now known as Gamlebyen), and the city was relocated nearer to the Akershus Fortress. King Christian IV of Denmark and Norway renamed the reborn city Christiania. From the end of the 1800s, the name of the city was also spelled "Kristiania". An official decision was never made, so both forms were in use. The original name of Oslo was restored by a law of 11 July 1924, effective 1 January 1925.
When I was young, the capital of Norway was not called Oslo. It was called Kristiania. But somewhere along the line, the Norwegians decided to do away with that pretty name and call it Oslo instead. -- Roald Dahl, Boy
The city was once referred to as Tigerstaden (the City of Tigers) by the author Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson around 1870, due to his perception of the city as a cold and dangerous place. This name has over the years achieved an almost official status, to the extent the 1000-year anniversary was celebrated by a row of tiger sculptures around city hall. The prevalence of homeless and other beggars in newer times led to the slight rewording of the nickname into 'Tiggerstaden', or Beggar City, and a harsh picture of the city was drawn by Knut Hamsun in his novel Sult (Hunger) from 1890 (cinematised in 1966 by Henning Carlsen).
According to the Norse sagas, Oslo was founded around 1049 by King Harald Hardråde. Recent archaeological research has uncovered Christian burials from before 1000, evidence of a preceding urban settlement. This called for the celebration of Oslo's millennium in 2000.
It has been regarded as the capital city since the reign of Håkon V (1299-1319), who was the first king to reside permanently in the city. He also started the construction of the Akershus Fortress. A century later Norway was the weaker part in a personal union with Denmark, and Oslo's role was reduced to that of provincial administrative centre, with the monarchs residing in Copenhagen. The fact that the University of Oslo was founded as late as 1811 had an adverse effect on the development of the nation.
Oslo was destroyed several times by fire, and after the fourteenth calamity, in 1624, King Christian IV of Denmark (and Norway) ordered it rebuilt at a new site across the bay, near Akershus Fortress and given the name Christiania. But long before this, Christiania had started to establish its stature as a centre of commerce and culture in Norway. The part of the city built from 1624 is now often called Kvadraturen because of its orthogonal layout. In 1814 Christiania once more became a real capital when the union with Denmark was dissolved. Many landmarks were built in the 19th century, including the Royal Palace (1825-1848), Stortinget (the Parliament) (1861-1866), the University, Nationaltheatret and the Stock Exchange. Among the world-famous artists who lived here during this period were Henrik Ibsen and Knut Hamsun (the latter was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature). In 1850, Christiania also overtook Bergen and became the most populous city in the country. In 1878 the city was renamed to Kristiania. The original name of Oslo was restored in 1925.
Oslo's centrality in the political, cultural and economical life of Norway continues to be a source of considerable controversy and friction. Numerous attempts at decentralization have not appreciably changed this during the last century. While continuing to be the main cause of the depopulation of the Norwegian countryside, any form of development is almost always opposed by neighbours, and as a consequence the growth of a modern urban landscape has all but stopped. Specifically, the construction of highrises in the city centre has been met with skepticism. It is projected, however, that the city will need some 20,000 additional apartments before 2020, forcing the difficult decision of whether to build tall or the equally unpopular option of sprawling out.
A marked reluctance to encourage the growth of the city for fear of causing further depletion of the traditional farming and fishing communities has led to several successive bursts of construction both in infrastructure and building mass, as the authorities kept waiting in vain for the stream of people to diminish. Neoclassical city apartments built in the 1850s to 1900s dotted with remnants of Christian IV's renaissance grid dominate the architecture around the city centre, except where slums were demolished in the 1960s to construct modernist concrete and glass low-rises, now generally regarded as embarrassing eyesores. The variety in Oslo's architectural cityscape does however provide for some striking, and often hauntingly beautiful sights. While most of the forests and lakes surrounding Oslo are in private hands, there is great public support for not developing those areas. Parts of Oslo suffer from congestion, yet it is one of the few European capitals where people live with the wilderness literally in their back yard, or with access to a suburban train line that allows the city's many hikers and cross-country skiers to simply step off the train and start walking or skiing.
Oslo occupies an arc of land at the northernmost end of the Oslofjord. The fjord, which is nearly bisected by the Nesodden peninsula opposite Oslo, lies to the south; in all other directions Oslo is surrounded by green hills and mountains. There are 40 islands within the city limits, the largest being Malmøya and scores more around the Oslofjord. Oslo has 343 lakes, the largest being Maridalsvannet (). This is also a main source of drinking water for large parts of Oslo. Although Eastern Norway has a number of mighty rivers, none of these flows into the ocean at Oslo. Instead Oslo has two smaller rivers: Akerselva (draining Maridalsvannet) and Alna (Oslo's longest river). Akerselva traditionally separates Oslo's East and West end, and flows into the fjord in Bjørvika. River Alna flows through Groruddalen, Oslo's major suburb and industrial area. The highest point is Kirkeberget, at . Although the city's population is small compared to most European capitals, it occupies an unusually large land area, of which two thirds are protected areas of forests, hills and lakes. Its boundaries encompass many parks and open areas, giving it an airy and often very green appearance. It is not uncommon to encounter wild moose in relatively urban areas of Oslo, especially during wintertime.
Oslo has a hemiboreal/humid continental climate (Dfb according to the Köppen climate classification system). Summers are mild or even warm, with daily high temperatures averaging between and during the summer months (June-August). September is often as warm, with colder temperatures usually arriving before the end of October. The highest temperature ever recorded was on 21 July 1901. There are four distinct seasons, with winter lasting from early december to march, and spring arriving in april, lasting out may. Summer ranges from June to late august. Autumn/fall usually comes mid-september with cooler air and more unstable weather, and lasts throughout november. Heatwaves are not rare during the summer, usually pushing the temperatures above 30C (86F). The Oslofjord has many public beaches and recreational areas, which are very popular in the summer months. Due to the fjord being sort of an enclosed body of water, the water temperatures can get quite high if the weather stays warm. During the summer of 2008, the water reached a temperature of 24C (75F).
The winter is cold, chilly and wet. Temperatures can drop down to or lower when there is high pressure and blue skies. Almost every winter, ice develops in the inner parts of the Oslofjord. Temperatures below zero may be experienced from October until May, the coldest month being January with a mean temperature of , and both January and February may have daily minimum temperatures of around . The coldest temperature recorded is in February 1871. Snowfall is spread evenly throughout the winter months and on average more than of snow cover is experienced 30 days per year. Temperatures have tended to be higher in recent years.
The annual average precipitation is , with winter being somewhat drier than summer.
Constituting both a municipality and a county of Norway, the city of Oslo is represented in the Storting by seventeen Members of Parliament. Six MPs are from the Labour Party; the Conservative Party and the Progress Party have three each, the Socialist Left Party and the Liberals have two each, and one is from the Christian Democrats.
The combined municipality and county of Oslo has had a parliamentary system of government since 1986. The supreme authority of the city is the City Council (Bystyret), which currently has 59 seats. Representatives are popularly elected every four years. The City Council has five standing committees, each with their own areas of responsibility. These are: Health and Social Welfare, Education and Cultural Affairs, Urban Development, Transport and Environmental Affairs, and Finance. The council's executive branch (Byrådet) consists of a head of government (byrådsleder) and six commissioners (byråder, sing. byråd) holding ministerial positions. Each of the commissioners needs the confidence of the City Council and each of them can be voted out of office.
Since the local elections of 2003, the city government has been a coalition of the Conservative Party and the Progress Party. Based mostly on support from the Christian Democrats and the Liberals, the coalition maintains a majority in the City Council. After the 2007 local elections on 10 September, the conservative coalition remained in majority. The largest parties in the City Council are the Labour Party and the Conservatives, with 18 and 16 representatives respectively.
The Mayor of Oslo is the head of the City Council and the highest ranking representative of the city. This used to be the most powerful political position in Oslo, but after the implementation of parliamentarism the Mayor has had more of a ceremonial role, similar to that of the President of the Storting at the national level. The current Mayor of Oslo is Fabian Stang.
Sentrum (the city centre) and Marka (the rural/recreational areas surrounding the city) are separate geographical entities, but do not have an administration of their own. Sentrum is governed by the borough of St. Hanshaugen. The administration of Marka is shared between neighbouring boroughs.
The gross domestic product of Oslo totaled NOK268.047 billion (€33.876 billion) in 2003, which amounted to 17% of the national GDP. This compares with NOK165.915 billion (€20.968 billion) in 1995. The metropolitan area, bar Moss and Drammen, contributed 25% of the national GDP in 2003 and was also responsible for more than one quarter of tax revenues. In comparison, total tax revenues from the oil and gas industry on the Norwegian Continental Shelf amounted to about 16%. The region has one of the highest per capita GDPs in Europe, at NOK391,399 (€49,465) in 2003. If Norway were a member of the European Union, the capital region would have the fourth strongest GDP per capita, behind Inner London, Brussels-Capital and Luxembourg.
Oslo is one of the most expensive cities in the world. As of 2006, it is ranked tenth according to the Worldwide Cost of Living Survey provided by Mercer Human Resource Consulting and first according to the Economist Intelligence Unit. The reason for this discrepancy is that the EIU omits certain factors from its final index calculation, most notably housing. Although Oslo does have the most expensive housing market in Norway it is comparably cheaper to other cities on the list in that regard. Meanwhile, prices on goods and services remain some of the highest of any city. According to a report compiled by Swiss bank UBS in the month of August 2006, Oslo and London were the world's most expensive cities. Total pay packets were the biggest in Oslo along with Copenhagen and Zurich -- but residents of the Nordic cities lose out when tax is taken into account.
The population of Oslo is currently increasing at a record rate of nearly 2 percent annually (17 percent over the last 15 years), making it the fastest-growing Scandinavian capital. The increase is due, in almost equal degree, to high birth rates and immigration. In particular, immigration from Poland and the Baltic states has increased sharply since the accession of these countries to the EU in 2004.
Oslo now has over 50 schools, colleges and universities in itself alone.
Public ferries run daily to and from the islands scattered in the Oslo harbour basin.
The tram system, Oslotrikken, is made up of six lines that criss-cross the inner parts of the city and extend out towards the suburbs. Trams partly run on in the streets and partly on separate roads. The metro system, known as the T-bane, connects the eastern and western suburbs and comprises six lines which all converge in a tunnel beneath downtown Oslo. The metro lines are identified by numbers from 1 to 6, with two lines running into the municipality of Bærum in the west. The tramway lines are numbered 11 to 13 and 17 to 19.
A new, partially underground loop line was opened in August 2006, connecting Ullevål in the north-west and Carl Berners plass in the east. Two new stations, Nydalen and Storo, have been operational for a couple of years already, the third station, Sinsen, opened 20 August 2006. This completed the loop. In conjunction with the opening of the circle line, there will be a major upgrade of the rolling stock, with delivery taking place between 2007 and 2010. An RFID ticketing system with automatic turnstile barriers has been under introduction for several years, but has been heavily delayed and is not yet in service.
A public bicycle rental programme has been in operation from April every year since 2002. With an electronic subscription card, users can access bikes from over 90 stations across the city.
Access into the city centre requires the payment of a toll at one of 19 entry points around the ring road. It costs 25 NOK to enter the cordoned zone at all times of day, seven days a week. A 20% price reduction is avaliable to car owners using the AutoPASS-system. Since 2 February 2008 coins are no longer accepted at the Toll Station, and all cars must pass through the automatic lanes without stopping. If you are fitted with the electronic AutoPASS system then you will be debited as you pass, all other drivers will receive an invoice in the mail.
Initially revenues from the road tolls funded the public road network, but since 2002 it mainly finances new developments for the public transport system in Oslo. There has been discussion whether to continue to use the cordon after 2007, based on the funding decisions, extensions, accommodation of time-differentiated pricing or replaced by another form of pricing altogether, perhaps to make congestion pricing possible.
Oslo was the host city for the 1952 Winter Olympics. Except for the downhill skiing at Norefjell, all events took place within the city limits. The opening and closing ceremonies were held at Bislett stadion, which was also used for the speed skating events. In recent years, the stadium has been better known for hosting the annual Bislett Games track and field event in the IAAF Golden League. The stadium was rebuilt in 2004/2005 and was formally opened for the Bislett Games on 29 July 2005.
Holmenkollen nordic skiing arena, and its centrepiece the ski jump, was an important venue during the 1952 Olympics. The arena has hosted numerous Nordic skiing and biathlon world championships since 1930, and its ski jump competition is the second oldest in the world, having been contested since 1892. Holmenkollen has been selected to once again host the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, in 2011.
During the summer months, the harbour becomes a venue for various maritime events, including the start of a large sailing regatta that attracts around 1,000 contesting boats each year, and one race of the international Class 1 offshore powerboat racing circuit.
Two football clubs from Oslo, Vålerenga and Lyn, play in the Norwegian Premier League. In the 2005 season, the teams placed 1st and 3rd respectively. In addition, two teams from the conurbations are represented - Stabæk Fotball and Lillestrøm Sportsklubb. Oslo had two ice hockey teams in the highest division in the previous season, Vålerenga Ishockey and Furuset I.F., the former winning the cup and league double in 2007. Speed skating is also held at the Valle Hovin venue, which in the summer is host to large popular music concerts.
Ullevaal stadion, located in the borough of Nordre Aker, is the home of the Norwegian national football team. Built in 1926, it is the largest football stadium in Norway, and has served as the venue for the Norwegian Cup final since 1948. Both Lyn and Vålerenga use the stadium as their home ground.
Oslo is also home of Norway Cup - the world's biggest football tournament for youth from all over the world.

Oslo has a longstanding tradition of sending a Christmas tree every year to the cities of Washington, D.C., London, Rotterdam, Antwerp, and Reykjavík. Since 1947, Oslo sends a 65-80 foot (20-25 m) high spruce, which may be 50 to 100 years old (according to the sources), as an expression of gratitude for Britain's support to Norway during World War II which is usually placed in Trafalgar Square. For the 61st time, this spruce will have been lit by the Mayor of Oslo, Fabian Stang and The Lord Mayor of Westminster, Councilor Carolyn Keen, between 6 December 2007 and 4 January 2008, and it has received yet more special attention than before, expressing environmental concern.

Somebody asked me ut a recent fire (liandall's) why the engine compuny did not answer ull alarms, whether first or second, as an extra pressure would huve been of con¬ siderable hel;i while working at the blaze. I told him I thought they (lid, but I would inquire, which I did and I um informed that this order hus been ¦ in effect for some time, but it is an awful job to get horses. The man who took the hook and bidder truck to the fire unhitched his horses and took them, buck home and just missed being in time to take the engine out too on his return, before other horses were secured for this purpose.

The biggest hindrance to firemen working ut a fire is the person who per¬ sists in getting in the way. Frequent¬ ly "outsiders" help, hel[i immense^, and the assistance is appreciated but the man, woman or little girl who per¬ sists in getting in the way or refusing to get out of the way when requested, is a nuisance. I saw a flagrant case of this kind at the fire Monday morn- est is the cheanest in the long run. With thia idea in view, he has con tracted for this bitulithic pavement. The price for ihi.- work is somewhat hit'lier ihi-.r, for a maciriHii.i/.d repair- in;.-, bin it ba- tins advH:,;age that wl.ile no guamni-.'e is g'ven on a ma''adiyii roal. the Wavrtn |iei pie guaruntee the bitulithic and keep it in ; irixtun repair, for live years fr-im tbe time it i We nsk is laid, under a h,"ivy iiond ; nnd a road j was the secret of tbei that will stand u;i under the heavy j such an excellent t-i^llii.' .jf lhe .Merrick Roud for live years IS certainly'u big iir pr vi';:ent on anything that ha.^- tieen lai i i.i this section before.

While guys like Bill Kristol are still "waiting for Superman" with the GOP presidential field. Biden is telling Dems to...
Vice President Joe Biden surprised a gathering of donors in Cincinnati last week when he floated the prospect of his succeeding President Barack Obama in the White House.
More at Politico
..."wait for Stuporman"
I know that actually a quite an unspecific request for the Democratic party. Then again, maybe not anymore. This is a guy who blew it two other times running for president, and was chosen to be the VP
for his foreign policy credentials <--(name one thing he's done in this department since 1-20-09) to help make Obama look even mildly mature enough to be the top guy.
This guy's primary primary opponent would be his mouth, and we'd have the birth certficate situation all over again, only instead of a piece of paper people would demand proof the guy has a brain in that head of his.
Don't even get me started on his running mate...
And he wants to try again in 2016?!?

Damn, prezident is way harder to spell than VP

I'll reduce our dependence of foreign oil by forcing Americans to pump their gas in f**kin' America!

BRYAN, Texas - Texas A&M University broke ground on its state-of-the-art Equine Complex, the future home of the National Champion A&M equestrian team, on Tuesday. The first phase of the project, funded at approximately $35 million, is expected to be complete in 2014. The full-scope plan is projected to cost $80 million when completed.
The equestrian facility will include locker rooms, offices, a concessions building, a 50-stall barn, two covered warm-up arenas and two covered competition arenas, and will be the premier collegiate equestrian facility in the country.
"We are very excited and grateful to be a part of this Equine Initiative," head coach Tana McKay said. "It is such a great opportunity for Texas A&M to showcase their strength in the equine industry. This state-of-the-art facility will be a great asset to our successful equestrian team. We are looking forward to drawing great athletes to Texas A&M University, as well as enhancing their experience as an NCEA athlete."
The College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM) and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at A&M joined together to create the Texas A&M Equine Initiative which will provide industry-leading, comprehensive equine science research, education and outreach programs, and a home for Texas A&M student activities. The first phase was approved by the Texas A&M Board of Regents in May of 2012 and was supported by an anonymous cornerstone gift, in-kind gifts and other major gifts.
Phase I will include facilities for the Aggie equestrian team and a cross-country course in collaboration with Texas A&M Athletics. New facilities for the Parsons Mounted Cavalry are also included in the plan.
This unique center represents a partnership between multiple entities and agencies within Texas A&M University including CVM, Texas A&M AgriLife/College of Agriculture and Life Sciences/the Department of Animal Science, Texas A&M Athletics and Transportation Services.
The Aggie equestrian team (1-1, 0-1 SEC) won its 10th and 11th national championships in April at the National Collegiate Equestrian Association (NCEA) Championship, securing both the western title and the overall crown. The team is currently ranked fourth in the nation in its first season in the Southeastern Conference, which added equestrian as the 21st sponsored sport in June.
The Aggies are back in the arena Saturday as they face No. 3 Auburn on the road at 10 a.m. To learn more about Texas A&M equestrian, log on to AggieAthletics.com and follow @AggieEquestrian on Twitter.

Creamy consistency of this hand-feeding bird food formula encourages baby bird health. Powder bird food easily mixes to a creamy consistency so it is safely consumed and digested by baby birds. Balanced nutrition so you do not need nutritional supplementation. Energy-dense formula results in superior weight gain so birds move quickly to the weaning stage. Contains Lactobacillus to aid in proper digestion and the absorption of important nutrients. Embrace Plus is formulated with moderate levels of protein and higher levels of fat for larger species that will benefit from a more energy-dense food. 5 lb package.

Feeding Information
Proper Feeding Consistency
Age 1-3 Days
Age 4-14 Days Slowly, during the next 10 days, thicken the formula every other day until it is the consistency of baby applesauce (approximately one part formula to three parts water). Modify consistency and feeding frequency based on the bird's weight gain.
Age 15 Days to Weaning Mix to the consistency of thick applesauce (approximately one part formula to two parts water). If at any time during the hand-feeding process the baby bird's digestion slows to a point of concern, return to feeding a thinner formula to increase crop emptying.
If at any time during the hand-feeding stage, the baby bird is experiencing crop stasis, dehydration, weight loss or other serious problems, consult your avian professional immediately.Assess Proper Amounts to Feed
Weigh Daily to Monitor Proper Growth Rate
Neonatal Stage
Feeding Schedule
As a young bird matures, its crop grows and feeding frequency will decrease from every two hours to every 6-8 hours per day by the time the bird is 4-6 weeks of age. Some larger parrots may require only two feedings a day as they grow closer to their weaning stage. Feed and weigh your bird on a regular schedule each day.
Weaning Your Baby Bird
Make sure the bird is eating sufficient quantities of the weaning diet on its own and maintaining its weight before eliminating the Embrace Hand-Feeding Formula. Continue to weigh the bird daily.Embrace

Customer Reviews
- Great product Review by Glo Girl
Quality Price Value
I disagree with the Jane Iredale reviewer. I in fact found this product to be far more effective as a concealer than Jane Iredale's concealer. Glo stays put and covers well, it blends well with or without foundation. Jane Iredale's I find pasty and greasy it does not stay on well and does not cover the dark circles without caking on a lot of it. I love Glo products. I used to use Jane Iredale makeup just because I was trying to use a more natural product but I was never that happy with it. I felt it was very dying to my skin and highly over priced. I think its just a very well marketed makeup. In Fact many of my fiends have had irritation to their skin using Jane Iredale. I love the purity and the ability for Glo to actually deliver what it promises. Can't wait to try the new Luxe foundation.

- Another good product! Review by Sahrish
Quality Price Value
I got this concealer as a PR sample to review on my blog. I got the shade Natural which matched my skin tone perfectly but since it had two shades with two different undertones, I ended up using only the lighter one. This is a good concealer for those who have really dark circle problem. The darker one with can be used to lighten up the circles and the lighter one can then be used to conceal them nicely. I have used this on models from dry to oily skin types and it helped me to achieve a good shade by mixing these two together. This is also a really highly pigmented concealer and stays for long hours even during the shoots. The only problem that I faced was creasing under eyes even after setting it with a powder. That only happens if I sweat and I live in a hot country so this is not my most favorite concealer but still, it is good for occasional use.
I wish your concealers come in more shades though.

How is family game night at your home? Are your kids super excited to spend some time playing games after dinner, or is it a bit of a struggle to get everyone unplugged and reconnected in the living room? There are plenty of challenges to coordinating a family game night—between siblings bickering and after-hours conference calls for Mom or Dad, sometimes pulling out a game after dinner seems impossible. Don't sweat it. We've got you covered. If you can find the time and energy to wrangle the family into their jammies and pop some popcorn, we can help you take it from there. Family game night is about to get a little more fun, and a lot more educational.
We do more than just create fun games that will keep your children engaged and wanting to play another round. We up the ante by giving our games an educational component that will reinforce skills that they are learning at school. After all, practice does make perfect. However, we don't think that practice has to be boring. In fact, we think it can be awfully fun, and our family games prove it.
All of our toys and family games are created by a unique toy development team, which consists of professional educators who have years of experience in classroom settings, as well as seasoned parents with intimate knowledge of what children need. These two groups combine to form a super team of professionals who are the brains behind our award-winning games.
The educators on our team know your little one learns best through hands-on fun, and the parents on the team know that no one wants to spend 30 minutes setting up a game. Our educators are familiar with the curriculum your child is learning in school, and our parents emphasize that games shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. When they combine ideas, you end up with family games that are fun, educational, and affordable.
We work hard to be sure that we are developing quality games that the whole family will enjoy. Each of our games is tailor-made with your child in mind. If your child needs some extra practice on a certain skill, chances are that we have something perfect for you.
If you find that your child doesn't love the game you chose, and that it spends more time in the closet than in play on the coffee table, send it back to us for a full refund for up to a year after your purchase.
So, what are you waiting for? Pop some popcorn and pick a perfect game for your family. You can thank us later.

Hadoop Big Data Solution
Evaluate, develop, test, deploy, and scale Hadoop clusters on GoGrid quickly and easily.
- Deploy Hadoop on either Dedicated Servers or Cloud Servers
- Deploy Hadoop with HBase using 1-Button Deploy™ technology
- Purpose-built infrastructure ensures reliable performance
Customers can also manually deploy Hadoop by itself on our high-performance Cloud Servers using the recommended configuration (below) or on purpose-built Dedicated Servers. The following examples are recommended infrastructure for either a development or production environment.
|Development Environment
Any Hadoop Open Source Distribution
|Production Environment
Any Hadoop Open Source Distribution
Dedicated Servers
In addition to 1-Button-Deploy™, customers can also elect to deploy GoGrid Dedicated Servers that are designed to work specifically with Hadoop. We've worked closely with our partners on these specifications so they'll match most Hadoop use cases. The Data Node uses a JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) configuration and should be deployed with other Data Nodes to ensure data replication (for a small cluster, use at least 3 Data Nodes). Order the following servers from Sales or customize base Dedicated Servers to fit your needs.
GoGrid Hadoop Dedicated Servers

Use Cases
How you structure your app to run should take into account the unique needs of your application, including access patterns such as read-write distribution and latency differences between various operations. The examples listed here aren't necessarily right for your application, but illustrate some common approaches to thinking about and implementing the solution.
- Clickstream analysis – Often used to understand how website visitors make purchase decisions, clickstream data storage and analysis allows marketers to create unique user experiences on a variety of levels. Leveraging Hadoop and either Cassandra or HBase, users can create data hubs and leverage Hadoop's unique toolset to do things like join that data to other data sources.
- Sentiment data – With Hadoop, users can load social media posts into the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) using Apache Flume for real-time streaming. Apache Pig and Apache Mahout organize the unstructured data for scoring. After scoring sentiment, data can be joined with other sources of data for use in applications.
- Sensor data & log file data – The two most common use cases for server log data are network security breaches and network compliance audits. Users can then sort this data to perform forensic analysis. Leveraging Hadoop, administrators have a toolset for establishing recurring processes to flag data abnormalities and send alerts to applications or log abnormalities in standardized reports.
- Predictive analytics – With Hadoop, users can identify and explore data patterns. Using tools like Apache Hive and Apache Pig, users can then join data sets with additional sources and separate out important predictive indicators.

NRC postpones safety improvement at Mark 1 reactors, like VYBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | March 23,2013BRATTLEBORO The Nuclear Regulatory Commission voted earlier this week to push back safety improvements for the General Electric-designed Mark 1 and 2 nuclear reactors, recommendations made by their own staff after the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan, two years ago.
The five-member commission was heavily lobbied by the nuclear industry to not adopt the recommendation for filters on reactor vents on the Mark 1 and 2 boiling water reactors, saying they were an expensive response that wouldnt guarantee additional protection in the event of a nuclear emergency. The filters were estimated to cost between $15 to $60 million per reactor.
Neil Sheehan, spokesman for the NRCs Region One, said earlier this week that the commission instead ordered the staff to further study the filtered vent issue by means of the NRC rule-making process.
Thirty-one U.S. nuclear reactors share the same design as the failed reactors in Fukushima, raising questions in this country about the Mark 1 and 2 designs ability to withstand a serious incident.
Sheehan said that by going the route of the NRCs rule-making process, there will be a chance for public input into the changes.
The staff is to evaluate not only filtration systems but a performance-based approach to preventing radioactive releases from Mark 1 and 2 boiling water reactors like Vermont Yankee, following a severe accident, Sheehan said.
But according to The Hill, the congressional newspaper, the NRC has been facing blowback for its decision to delay the additional safety requirement.
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, told The Hill that the 3-2 vote was unacceptable.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission should never cut corners when it comes to safety, especially after Fukushima, Boxer said. We should accept the recommendations of safety experts and not just accept a partial fix.
Allison Macfarlane, the new chairwoman of the NRC, was in the minority of the 3-2 vote.
Under the schedule adopted by the NRC on Tuesday, the rule-making process for the filters should be in place in four years, March 2017.
Sheehan said that the NRC had earlier asked the Mark 1 and 2 reactors to have reliable hardened vents, and had issued an order in March 2012. Vermont Yankee installed hardened vents several years ago, but Entergy Nuclear recently filed its plan for meeting the updated requirements, Sheehan said.
Robert Williams, a spokesman for Entergy Nuclear in Vermont, said that the company was implementing changes at Yankee from lessons learned at Fukushima.
We are currently reviewing the NRC decision which separates the immediate issue of venting from the longer term topic of filtering. On the venting issue, the NRC will be directing the industry to move forward with ensuring that a venting system is in place that will remain functional during severe accident scenarios, he said.
The NRC will pursue rule-making on the separate topic of filtering, and will require that a variety of strategies be considered not just filtered vents, he added.
The Nuclear Energy Institute, a nuclear industry policy and lobbying group, in a press release said it supported the rule-making process as the proper approach for consideration of this matter.
