Makeup Primers: Don't Wear Foundation Without One!
We are skeptics, we admit it. When the salesperson at the department store tries to sell us the full line of skin care because all the products somehow work "synergistically" together, and only together, we scoff in disbelief. When the anti-aging moisturizer label claims we will look 10 years younger in 4 weeks, we know it's a bunch of marketing nonsense. So when the makeup artist at our favorite beauty shop tells us we absolutely must wear a primer under our foundation, we are ready with our best eye roll. Can you blame us?
Fast forward to a recent episode with a less than cooperative foundation. No matter how well the shade matched our skin, or how clean the makeup sponge was, or how perfectly moisturized our skin was, our favorite foundation did not want to blend nicely and settled into the fine lines we pretend we don't have. Grrr. A little voice reminded us about makeup primer. Maybe we should just try it?
The purpose of makeup primer is simple: to create a smooth, even surface as a base for foundation so the makeup doesn't settle into fine lines and pores. If you have trouble with your makeup wearing off by midday, or if you are sick of foundation settling into the lines around your eyes, a primer is a great tool to help your favorite foundation look even better.
Revlon Beyond Natural Smoothing Primer
Oddly enough, we bought this at Target not that long ago and now it's suddenly hard to find. Thankfully, it's a standard silicone-based clear gel formula that many other brands make, so if you like this style, finding another similar product will not be difficult. About the size of a small pea is enough for your whole face (more than that will feel like a slippery mask), and it works well with cream or liquid foundations. Here are some similar choices: CoverGirl Simply Ageless Serum Primer, Philosophy The Present Clear Makeup, Vincent Longo Water Canvas Gel Cream Base.
Laura Mercier Foundation Primer
We got a .5 ounce tube of this from the Beauty Insider program at Sephora, and we really love it. It's a peach-colored cream gel, and as with all primers, you only need a pea-sized dab (if that) for your whole face. We like how light and smooth Laura Mercier Primer is, more like a moisturizer than a silicone mask. We've also found that it's compatible with all the foundations we have in rotation (CoverGirl Simply Ageless Anti-Aging Foundation, Smashbox High Definition Healthy FX Foundation SPF 15, CoverGirl Natureluxe Foundation). We've found it makes foundation glide on more smoothly, last longer, and we even use less.
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
We have been very happy with the coverage and blendable texture of Smashbox High Definition Healthy FX Foundation that we got in the Smashbox Complexion Perfection Kit, but the Photo Finish Foundation Primer really only works with this foundation. We tried it with all our other options and oddly the formulas just don't seem to work together; we end up with a streaky mess. That said, the combination of the Smashbox primer and the High Definition foundation look ah-mazing together. With this primer more than the others we tried, it's critical to use the smallest amount possible or it just doesn't work properly. We've found success with a dab about the size of a grain of rice. The texture is very satiny and soft, and it should feel light and comfortable if you use the right amount.
It looks like we need to apologize to our friendly neighborhood makeup artist and admit that, yes, a foundation primer really does make all the difference. Since this series of product testing, we have become devotees and can't imagine going back. We hope you find a primer you love, too!

HOUSTON—Adewale Ogunleye's eyes boiled with anger as he glanced at the statistics sheet. He shook his head, then fired the booklet into a nearby trash bin.
Indeed, the Bears' playoffs chances went straight into the garbage on Sunday.
Houston Texans. But a 31-24 loss left them out of the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
The Vikings, 20-19 winners over the New York Giants, wrapped up the NFC North title minutes before the Bears-Texans game ended.
"What happened? We didn't finish," defensive tackle Tommie Harris said. "We played hard, but we didn't play hard enough.
"This is life. What changes do we need to make to be able to finish? I don't know. I'm not a head coach."
Before Ryan Longwell's 50-yard field goal won it for the Vikings, the Bears tried use their division rival's struggles as a rallying point.
"We were talking about it in the huddle, the score of the other game," Devin Hester said. "It was like, 'Hey, Minnesota's losing to New York.' That was motivation for us. But we didn't do our part."
With Tampa Bay losing to Oakland, the Bears had a remote chance for a wild-card spot, but their loss and Philadelphia's victory over Dallas in a later game secured the final wild-card spot for the Eagles, heightening the Bears' disappointment.
"All the scenarios would have been great if we would have won this game," linebacker Brian Urlacher said. "None of that stuff really matters now."
The Bears played with a sense of urgency for a half. An early 10-0 lead and a hot start by Kyle Orton, featuring his 4-yard touchdown toss to Brandon Lloyd, left reason for optimism. Then the Bears succumbed to the same inconsistency that characterized their season.
A defense that was strong against the run much of the year allowed the Texans to accumulate 127 yards on the ground.
Rookie Steve Slaton's 47-yard, fourth-quarter sprint up the middle set up his 2-yard touchdown run, giving the Texans a 31-17 lead.
Houston kept the drive alive by winning a replay challenge for the first time this season. Officials overturned what was originally called a Slaton fumble—nose tackle Anthony Adams caused it and Danieal Manning recovered.
Slaton followed guard Chester Pitts and an offensive line that routinely handled the Bears up front.
The run defense "was fine," Urlacher said, "until that one run."
Actually, the defense was the Bears' biggest liability. The secondary, playing without starting safety Mike Brown, allowed Pro Bowl receiver Andre Johnson to catch 10 passes for 148 yards and two second-quarter touchdowns, including a 43-yarder when newly inserted safety Manning was out of position.
"I bit up on the run [fake]," Manning said. "I know what coverage we had, I just bit up on it."
Johnson couldn't believe how open he was.

analysisBy David Garmaise
Because of the poor performance in Phase 1 of a malaria grant in Central African Republic (CAR), and because of the growing political crisis in that country, Phase 2 will focus entirely on providing essential life-saving services. Phase 2 will also bring with it a new principal recipient, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), which takes over from the National AIDS Committee. The Grant Approvals Committee said that IFRC has experience operating in fragile states and complex humanitarian emergencies.
As reported in a previous GFO article, CAR was awarded incremental renewal funding of up to $11.8 million for Phase 2 of a Round 8 grant, CAF-810-G08-M.
Phase 1 had been designed to fills the gaps in national coverage, but failed to provide any long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs), rapid diagnostic tests or treatment for severe malaria.
Phase 2 will include a mass distribution campaign of 2.2 million LLINs through contracted agencies, as well as limited case management of uncomplicated malaria cases and intermittent preventive treatment of malaria for pregnant women. The goal of the LLIN distribution is to achieve universal coverage.
Mr Gremale Gilbert, Chairman of RECAPEV (National Network of PLWHA), said that CAR is facing two fundamental challenges: (1) the weak capacity of local implementers; and (2) a security situation that remains precarious.
Mr Gilbert said that the low capacity cuts across all functional areas (planning, management, M&E) and explains the problems with Phase 1 of the malaria grant. He said that the security situation will require that innovative strategies be developed for the successful implementation of the grant.
Mr Gilbert said that IFRC has a good reputation with most of the local players.
Information for this article was taken from Board Decision GF-B29-EDP3 and from B29-ER-02, the Report of Secretariat Funding Recommendations for July 2013. These documents are not available on the Global Fund website. Our regional correspondent for West and Central Africa, Bertrand Kampoer, contributed to this article.

RIYADH: The labor ministry has ordered the closure of around 100 lingerie shops in the Saudi capital for having men on their sales staff, a newspaper said Sunday.
Al-Eqtisadiah quoted a ministry official as saying all shops which violate a decree on the "feminization and nationalization of jobs" would be shut down. The measure aims to "provide a safe environment for working women," he said.
The ministry at the start of the year banned male assistants from working at lingerie shops, as a first step to be followed by women-only sales assistants at cosmetics outlets.
King Abdullah issued a decree in June 2011 limiting work for females at lingerie shops to Saudi women only in a bid to reduce high female unemployment in the conservative kingdom.
Unemployment among women in the oil-rich state is estimated at 30 percent.

From web and wire reports | March 2, 2013 | Updated: March 2, 2013 11:32pm

The Huskies saw their eight-game win streak come to a halt as the host Highlanders closed the first half with a 17-0 run to tie the game before pulling away in the second half Saturday.

Southern 61 Prairie View 39
Jourdan DeMuynck scored all but two of his game-high 18 points in the first half but it wasn't enough as the visiting Jaguars turned a 10-point halftime lead into a rout of the Panthers to lock up the top seed in the SWAC tournament.
Sam Houston State 54 SE Louisiana 45
James Thomas scored 15 points to lead the host Bearkats, who won the rebounding battle 39-25 never trailed in a win over the Lions.

Troy Daniels scored 14 of his 20 points in the first half and the host Rams' full-court pressure overwhelmed the No. 20 Bulldogs in a rematch of their meeting in the national semifinals in Houston in 2011.

Program Code: 170019
CPEs: 1.50
The term "subcontract management" has gained much notoriety in recent years and was recently the subject of intense inquiry by the Commission on Wartime Contracting. But what does this term mean - is it the same as subcontract administration? If not, what are the key distinctions and differences between the activities of each? Perhaps most importantly, why now is subcontract management getting so much government oversight scrutiny?

I picked this up during a recent Steam sale for 5 bucks...the only game in the AC franchise I've played is the first one, so figured this was a good time to start getting caught up. By the time I finish this one maybe AC3 will be on sale. Finally got around to installing it, only to discover I now have to deal with some ridiculous Ubisoft U-Play front end which I also have to log in to now. Did all of that...started the game...it crashes as soon as I click on it.
Anyone have any experience getting this game to work in Windows 7? Is there a workaround to this stupid U-Play thing? I did some searching and reading on the Steam and Ubi forums and didn't find anything helpful.
Thanks everyone

'Harry Potter's' Emma Watson on panty flash: 'At least I wore underwear!'
Emma Watson, 19, was attacked by the same cruel wind that caused former Miss California Carrie Prejean's topless photos.
On the red carpet at the London premiere of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," Emma's split skirt blew up and showed off her underwear.
She tells David Letterman that it could have been much worse.
The blushing Emma told Dave that this was "a small wardrobe malfunction that happens."
"At least I'm wearing underwear," she added, before hanging her head in her hands to say she's "still learning" this stuff.

Cold sores are small and painful blisters that can appear around the mouth, face, or nose. Sometimes referred to as fever blisters, they're caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Kids can get cold sores by kissing or sharing eating utensils with an infected person.
Colds sores in the mouth are very common, and many kids get infected with HSV-1 during the preschool years. The sores usually go away on their own within about a week.
Most kids who get cold sores get infected by eating or drinking from the same utensils as someone who is infected with the herpes virus or by getting kissed by an infected adult.
The cold sores first form blisters on the lips and inside the mouth. The blisters then become sores. In some cases, the gums become red and swollen. In other cases, the virus also leads to a fever, muscle aches, eating difficulties, a generally ill feeling, irritability, and swollen neck glands. These symptoms can last up to 2 weeks.
After a child is initially infected, the virus can lie dormant without causing any symptoms. But it can reactivate later, typically after some sort of stress like other infections, fever, sunlight, cold weather, menstrual periods, or even before a big test at school. When the virus is reactivated, it can cause tingling and numbness around the mouth before blisters appear.
Usually, HSV-1 causes cold sores in the mouth or face, and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) causes lesions in the genital area, resulting in genital herpes. But sometimes, HSV-1 can cause genital lesions as well, especially if someone has received oral sex from an infected partner.
Cold sores from HSV-1 usually go away in about a week. Although no medications can make the infection go away, some treatments are available that can shorten the length of the outbreak and make the cold sores less painful.
Cool foods and drinks can help relieve discomfort, and acetaminophen may also ease the pain. Aspirin should not be given to kids with viral infections since it has been associated with Reye syndrome.
Call the doctor if your child:
Since the virus that causes cold sores is so contagious, it's important to prevent it from spreading to other family members. Precautions to take with kids who have cold sores include:
If you're caring for a child with a cold sore, you also should be sure to wash your hands frequently so that you don't contract the virus or spread it to others.

HANOVER TWP. – A failed pipe that sent raw sewage spewing into Solomon Creek on Sunday was leaking long before it ruptured, an environmental expert who recently completed an extensive survey of the creek's watershed said Tuesday.
Robert Hughes, executive director of the Eastern Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation (EPCAMR) in Ashley, said he first discovered a leak in the terra-cotta sewer pipe leaching contaminated gray water into the creek off Division Street in the fall of 2011.
Hughes, along with interns and volunteers, walked about 26 miles of the creek and its tributaries, at points crawling through underground pipes and scaling cliffs near waterfalls, during an 18-month watershed survey to assess and document the health of the stream.
Before unveiling his findings and recommendations for protection and remediation of the watershed, Hughes showed a Times Leader reporter some areas of concern, including the crack in the sewer line that burst Sunday.
He said it was one of at least six sewage leaks uncovered during the survey, all in Ashley, Hanover Township and Wilkes-Barre. While some sewage might be seeping from private septic systems, most appear to have their origins in municipal sewer pipes, he said. They are documented with photographs in EPCAMR's report with recommendations for remediation.
It's at least a half a dozen more locations that have not only cracks in the terra-cotta pipe, but (also) percolation into the stream bed, Hughes said, that have that telltale gray water.
Hughes said he plans to but has not yet sent copies of his organization's report, which is hundreds of pages long and supplemented by hundreds of color photographs, to all municipalities in the watershed.
He did invite officials from all the municipalities to a Nov. 30 meeting at which he unveiled his findings. The meeting was also previewed in the Nov. 30 edition of The Times Leader.
Though invited, neither Hanover Township nor the Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority sent representatives, he said.
Hanover Township Manager John Sipper said he was not aware of EPCAMR's report or of the leak, and that the township would have any leak in its sewer pipes repaired as soon as it heard of one.
When we did hear about it, I think we acted pretty quickly to get the problem resolved, Sipper said.
The township was aware a section of concrete encasing the pipe had separated from the side, exposing part of the pipe. Sipper also noted the ruptured section was slated to be replaced along with a total of 105 feet of sewer pipe, and that township commissioners on Monday voted to accept bids on that repair work, with a bid deadline of Feb. 4.
While sewer feeder lines ultimately flow to the Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority, municipalities are responsible for maintaining the lines within their borders. The decades-old pipe originates in Wilkes-Barre Township, and both that municipality and Hanover Township have grown considerably over the years, Sipper noted.
The casing damage was discovered following high water after Tropical Storm Lee struck the region in September 2011, and a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency will finance pipe replacement.
On Tuesday, crews from Ed Krasavage Construction, Wyoming, replaced the failed section of terra-cotta line with a 10-foot section of 27.5-inch heavy-wall plastic pipe.
Tim Kalbach, construction inspector for Reilly Associates, the township's engineering contractor, said rubber seals to fix the new segment to the existing pipes arrived Tuesday from California.
Crews were able to circumvent the failed section with pumping equipment obtained from New Jersey, stopping the flow of sewage into the creek early Monday morning, Kalbach said.
Water quality specialists from the state Department of Environmental Protection inspected work at the site several times on Tuesday. Water Quality Specialist Supervisor Len Schall said DEP biologists are likely to return in a few weeks to check if sewage from the ruptured pipe is still present.
Jim Tomaine, engineer and acting executive director of the WVSA, said the ruptured line was probably about 80 years old, which is not unusual for the area.
He said there are likely many other leaks within the Solomon Creek watershed, and noted that a low level of sewage infiltration is allowable by law and that replacing the lines can be incredibly expensive.
The 100 feet of line Hanover Township wants to replace could cost $250,000, Tomaine said.
Over 80 or 100 years with the ground settling and all that, you can't avoid it, Tomaine said.

Forgotten Books: The Innocent Mrs. Duff by Elizabeth Sanxay Holding
One of the more familiar knocks on mystery fiction is that it rarely treats death seriously. That too often murder is simply the device that propels the story and not much more. I think that's a fair criticism and I certainly include my own work as being guilty of that particular sin. Murder, even literary murder, should HURT.
I'd also add to that criticism the various addictions common to the genre, namely alcoholism and drug addiction. Only Larry Block and a few others have taken us into the real world of recovering alcoholics. For the most part addiction has become just another keystroke common to the world of mystery fiction.
I've read three novels in my life that have described accurately--in my experience as an alcoholic--the horrors of being drunk most of your life. Certainly Under The Volcano by Malcolm Lowry, After the First Death by Larry Block and a novel you've probably never heard of, though alcoholic Raymond Chandler pushed it as one of the finest suspense novels of his time.
For some reason, much as I've pushed her here, I'd never read THE INNOCENT MRS. DUFF by Elizabeth Sanxay Holding. It is remarkable in many ways, not least because the protagonis. Jacob Duff is drunk for virtually the entire novel. And we see 95% of the book through his eyes. Functionally drunk for most of it but also falling-down drunk in places. Holding's genius was to sustain a sense of dread that I don't think even Ruth Rendell has equaled. There are times in her novels when I have to put the book down for a few minutes. They are that claustrophobic in mood and action.
That's the first most remarkable aspect of the book. The second most remarkable is the fact that we see the book through the eyes of one of the most arrogant, self-invoved, cold and self-deluded man I've ever encountered in fiction of any kind. I hated the bastard so much--I'm not enamored of the upper-classes, alas, and Duff embodies everything I loathe about them--I almost gave up after chapter three. I wasn't sure I wanted to learn anything more about this jerk,
But Holding has the voodoo, at least for me. She makes me turn pages faster than any best-seller because what you're rushing to discover is the fate of her people. All the good folks in this one are women, especially Duff's younger, beautiful and very decent wife. He constantly compares her unfavorably to his first wife, though we soon learn that he didn't care much for his first wife, either. At age forty he's still looking for his dream woman. God have mercy on her soul if he ever finds her.
As always with Holding, as with much of Poe, what we have is not so much a plot (though she's as good as Christie) as a phantasmagoria of despair, distrust and suspicion that consumes the protagonist. Is his wife cheating on him? Is she setting up his death so she'll inherit his estate? Is she turning his young son against him? Has his wealthy aunt, his life-long mentor and mother confessor, taken the side of his young wife? Has his drinking disgraced him in his small town and are all those smirks aimed at him? And finally, is he a murderer? And why does he have to sneak around these days to drink?
If you're curious about Holding, this is a good place to start. Anthony Boucher always said that she was the mother of all psychological suspense novelists. What's intresting is how few, fifty-some years after her death, have come close to equaling her enormous powers.
5 comments:
Right on, Ed. When Holding was good, she was very, very good, and this may be her best novel. I've never read another one quite like it, or come across a better piece of perverse characterization than her quietly chilling portrayal of Jacob Duff.
- Matt Paust said...
It's been a couple of decades since I read Under the Volcano, and I can still feel that claustrophobic dread closing in whenever that book comes to mind. I had only recently given up my heavy drinking days at the time, and the dread was probably as real for me as it was vicarious. I've been sober long enough that I might be able to read Volcano and possibly Holding with more detachment, but I'm hesitant.
- George said...
I have a stack of Elizabeth Sanxay Holding books. After reading your fine review, I'm going to have to read some. Thanks for the motivation!
- Martin Edwards said...
Ed, it's due to you that I've become interested in Holding. Thanks!
- Evan Lewis said...
Sounds good and horrible at the same time. Sort of like TV.

A Harvard Business Review writer analyzed Crunchbase data to determine the percentage of startups acquired in-state around the nation since 2006. California is by far the leader, with a much higher percentage of in-state acquisitions than anyone would expect.
The UpTake: Despite the energy and momentum in many U.S. cities around startups, data is still showing they lag behind Silicon Valley, New York and Boston in funding and acquisitions.
O utside the Valley, New York and Boston, areas that are home base for a growing number of startups these days, a new Harvard Business Review analysis shows it's even harder and less lucrative than you might think to raise funds and/or sell your company.
That's despite efforts in cities all over the United States to create funds, accelerators, mentorship programs and other initiatives to attract and retain entrepreneurs.
Here are some highlights of the telling data:
Writes author Maxwell Wessel, a vice president of innovation at SAP and an investor with the NextGen Angels (which is trying to solve a funding gap for Washington, D.C.-based startups):
Laura Baverman is a business journalist newly relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina. Before her move, Laura spent nearly four years tracking Cincinnati's growing technology and startup scene for the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Game Bakers' Squids series has already carved success on the mobile platform with the original Squids and Squids: Wild West. It seems only natural progression for a title with lush visuals and kooky character design receives a port on to the Nintendo Wii U platform. Tweaked for gaming consoles, Squids Odyssey retains its charm, with a gentle helping of features for first time calamari adventurers.

Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl Review
Etrian Odyssey is an old soul at heart. First hitting the Nintendo DS back in 2007, Atlus introduced first person dungeon exploration and blank canvas characters to the handheld device with much success. Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard (2008) and Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City (2010) followed, but was never made available in Australia. View the full article »

Turbo: Super Stunt Squad Review
With the holiday season fast approaching, bored children will again be ushered off to cinemas around the country to watch the latest animated feature offerings, one of which is DreamWorks' Turbo. As is often the case, a movie tie-in video game has been produced to coincide with the movie release, yet Turbo: Super Stunt Squad isn't quite what you would expect.
Project X Zone Review
Project X Zone is something of fan fiction. The thought of Capcom, Sega and Namco Bandai's most beloved characters and franchises coming together in the one title is not something you'd ever expect to be developed, let alone unleashed out of Japan onto the English speaking market. It's a peculiar blend of action, JRPG and strategy that strangely works despite the unusual premise it is built upon. View the full article »

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed Review
Sega speeds into a second lap around the karting scene with Sonic and Sega mascots making a return to driving mayhem in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed. Expanding on the original racing mash-up of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, Sumo Digital dishes out much of the same, with a solid helping of new features to keep things fresh and interesting.
Strong competition from Codemasters Racing F1 Race Stars and Sony's LittleBigPlanet Karting offers consumers plenty of choices, in what is the most contested periods for the genre in quite some time. Can Transformed bag of tricks convince players to go for another hot sprint around the track?
Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns 3DS Review
The original farming simulator that started the crop growing craze makes a return to handheld for a new generation with its latest incarnation for the Nintendo 3DS. Marvelous Interactive's Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns 3D incorporates the same cutesy charm that captivated a generation but this time, adds a dual village twist.
Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games Review
Nothing brings people together quite like the Olympics, and as the games draw near the big names have teamed up again for some friendly competition. Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games is the third title in the series, which takes a total of 20 characters from the SEGA/Nintendo franchises through a myriad of Olympic-based mini-games.
As with the previous titles, the gameplay focuses on taking part in various Olympics-ish events; although there are some, we dare say, that wouldn't exactly classify as competitive-level sport (I'm looking at you 'Grabbing a drink during the marathon' and 'Breathing during the pentathlon' events). We tried out the 3DS version which has 57 events that are accessible through single player, multiplayer or the Olympic-centric storyline. By comparison the Wii version acts more as a party game, making up for a lack of story with more events, Party Mode and "Dream Events" which take the player to location from past Mario & Sonic at the Olympics games.
Let the Games Begin!

Thor: God of Thunder 3DS Review
Leaping off the comic book pages onto the big screen, and ultimately to the interactive medium is a path traveled by many Marvel superheroes gone by. THOR: God of Thunder for the Nintendo 3DS is the Norse hammer-wielding god's final destination on his tour to becoming an instantly recognisable name. The 3DS version of THOR: God of Thunder is essentially a port of the Nintendo Wii version released a few months back, redesigned specifically for the Nintendo 3D console. Can THOR: God of Thunder 3DS transcend to the halls of Valhalla, or will it plummet back down to Earth in a thunderous clap? View the full article »

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Review
Originally released on the Nintendo 64 in 1998, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was in no way, shape, or form, anticipated to gain the critical acclaim it received. With its seemingly perfect gameplay, memorable characters, and engaging storyline, it revolutionized what we know as 'the open world' or adventure genre today. With a plethora of praise under its belt, and its revolutionary gameplay mechanics, it went on to gain worldwide recognition, being cited as 'the greatest game of all time.' The rest is history.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is a reboot of an action-adventure classic with huge (iron?) boots to fill; and it has done so near flawlessly. With both a modern re-texturing and character design overhaul, creator Shigeru Miyamoto and developer Grezzo have managed to seduce players, both new and old, into what still stands as the apotheosis of legendary gaming.

The maximum number of matches refers to the estimated maximum number of matches that a function should produce. This value is used to determine the ranges of values allowed in the function dialogue boxes, eg the lowest "minimum score" for the "find similar spans" function ( see section Find similar spans). Altering this value will in turn alter the range of values available in a function.
The maximum number of matches is altered using the Options menu. This only provides a guideline. The function itself will always attempt to calculate ALL the matches but this may result in an "out of memory" error for large numbers of matches. For very large numbers of matches, the function will also be very slow.

VW XL-1: we drive the future
Tom Ford drives the 313mpg hypercar right across Britain. For about 20 pence of diesel
Posted: 03 Feb 2014
Move off, and the XL-1 slides away with a vaguely sci-fi whine. The car can manage about 30 miles in EV-only mode, relying solely on the 25bhp electric motor mounted above the driven rear axle. Accelerate hard, and a third clutch (there are two already in the DSG 'box) engages the 800cc, 45bhp two-cylinder TDI diesel, and it thuds into life like a tiny Evinrude outboard, making an odd but strangely appealing throb. It's basically half of the four-pot 1.6 TDI, with a crank-driven balancer shaft to even out the twin-cylinder thrum. The steering is unassisted and heavy, but the car itself feels... light. Low impact. The XL-1's mass of 795kg might not be impressive in absolute terms, but, for a working hybrid, it's nothing short of extraordinary. And the way that it moves is astonishing: lift off on even the slightest gradient, and the XL-1 barely slows. It slices through the air as if oiled past the molecules. On a level bit of ground, a steady 62mph requires just 8bhp to maintain. That's not much. It's comfortable, if not overly quiet, and pick-up from 60mph is genuinely impressive - if you're not having to force your way past the air, then you can maintain and increase velocity in a much more elegant fashion.

Stormwater Management
Stormwater runoff from construction activities can have a significant impact on water quality. As stormwater flows over a construction site, it can pick up pollutants like sediment, debris, and chemicals and transport these to a nearby storm sewer system or directly to a river, lake, or coastal water. Polluted stormwater runoff can harm or kill fish and other wildlife. Sedimentation can destroy aquatic habitat, and high volumes of runoff can cause stream bank erosion. Debris can clog waterways and potentially reach the ocean where it can kill marine wildlife and impact habitat.
Green Infrastructure
Green infrastructure is an approach to wet weather management that is cost-effective, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Green Infrastructure management approaches and technologies infiltrate, evapotranspire, capture and reuse stormwater to maintain or restore natural hydrologies.
Pervious Concrete (sometimes referred to as Permeable or Porous concrete) is a unique, cement-based product that has a porous structure allowing rainwater to pass directly through the concrete into the soil. It is also referred to as "no fines" concrete because it is manufactured by leaving out the sand or "fine aggregate". Using Sufficient paste to coat and bind the aggregate particles together creates a system of highly permeable, interconnected voids that drains quickly. Water can pass through pervious concrete at an incredible rate of 3-5 gallons per minute, per square foot.
How Does Green Infrastructure Benefit the Environment?
Reduced and Delayed Stormwater Runoff Volumes Green infrastructure reduces stormwater runoff volumes and reduces peak flows by utilizing the natural retention and absorption capabilities of vegetation and soils. By increasing the amount of pervious ground cover, green infrastructure techniques increase stormwater infiltration rates, thereby reducing the volume of runoff entering our combined or separate sewer systems, and ultimately our lakes, rivers, and streams.
Enhanced Groundwater Recharge The natural infiltration capabilities of green infrastructure technologies can improve the rate at which groundwater aquifers are 'recharged' or replenished. This is significant because groundwater provides about 40% of the water needed to maintain normal base flow rates in our rivers and streams. Enhanced groundwater recharge can also boost the supply of drinking water for private and public uses.
Stormwater Pollutant ReductionsGreen Infrastructure techniques infiltrate runoff close to its source and help prevent pollutants from being transported to nearby surface waters. Once runoff is infiltrated into soils, plants and microbes can naturally filter and break down many common pollutants found in stormwater.
Reduced Sewer Overflow EventsUtilizing the natural retention and infiltration capabilities of plants and soils, green infrastructure limits the frequency of sewer overflow events by reducing runoff volumes and by delaying stormwater discharges.
Increased Carbon SequestrationThe plants and soils that are part of the green infrastructure approach serve as sources of carbon sequestration, where carbon dioxide is captured and removed from the atmosphere via photosynthesis and other natural processes.
Urban Heat Island Mitigation and Reduced Energy DemandsUrban heat islands form as cities replace natural land cover with dense concentrations of pavement, buildings, and other surfaces that absorb and retain heat. The displacement of trees and vegetation minimizes their natural cooling effects. Additionally, tall buildings and narrow streets trap and concentrate waste heat from vehicles, factories, and air conditioners. By providing increased amounts of urban green space and vegetation, green infrastructure can help mitigate the effects of urban heat islands and reduce energy demands. Trees, green roofs and other green infrastructure can also lower the demand for air conditioning energy, thereby decreasing emissions from power plants.
Improved Air QualityGreen infrastructure facilitates the incorporation of trees and vegetation in urban landscapes, which can contribute to improved air quality. Trees and vegetation absorb certain pollutants from the air through leaf uptake and contact removal. If widely planted throughout a community, trees and plants can even cool the air and slow the temperature-dependent reaction that forms ground-level ozone pollution (smog).
Additional Wildlife Habitat and Recreational Space Greenways, parks, urban forests, wetlands, and vegetated swales are all forms of green infrastructure that provide increased access to recreational space and wildlife habitat.
Improved Human Health An increasing number of studies suggest that vegetation and green space - two key components of green infrastructure - can have a positive impact on human health. Recent research has linked the presence of trees, plants, and green space to reduced levels of inner-city crime and violence, a stronger sense of community, improved academic performance, and even reductions in the symptoms associated with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders. One such study discusses the association between neighborhood greenness and the body mass of children.�
Increased Land ValuesA number of case studies suggest that green infrastructure can increase surrounding property values. In Philadelphia, a green retrofit program that converted unsightly abandoned lots into "clean & green" landscapes resulted in economic impacts that exceeded expectations. Vacant land improvements led to an increase in surrounding housing values by as much as 30%. This translated to a $4 million gain in property values through tree plantings and a $12 million gain through lot improvements.

Cinderella rehearsals continue this week on Breaking Pointe. Ballet West, as a whole, seems stressed, and emotions are running high. Most of the episodes so far have been the dancers taking corrections from artistic director Adam Sklute or Cinderella coach Wendy Ellis Somes. But in the most surprising—and welcome—twist (first superlative) this week, Beckanne Sisk assumes the role of teacher.
Beckanne, still feeling like her progress has hit a plateau, travels to Philly (what's up, Ben Franklin?) to visit her former teachers Bo and Stephanie Spassoff, directors of The Rock School. She brings Katie Martin (loving the Katie episodes!) along for the ride, and the two take class at The Rock and sit in on some rehearsals. (Perhaps rehearsals for YAGP?) Bo—in stellar mentor fashion—knows what will get Beckanne going again, and asks her to help coach some of the dancers. It is probably the cutest moment we've seen of Beckanne this season—helping one girl with floppy wrists and another to stay square during her pirouette—and she leaves inspired and more confident in her own achievements. (Plus, we can actually see the dancers' full bodies. They have legs! Who would have guessed?!)
Most hasty comment: The sixth episode is titled "Nowhere Near Ready," which alludes to Adam's pessimistic view of his company's (un)preparedness to perform Ashton's Cinderella in February 2013 a few weeks. Loosen your scarf, Adam, they're not even in tech, yet!
Most tense: Chris Ruud's jaw while he's in relevé at the barre during company class. Easy, buddy, easy. TMJ can be painful!
Best throwback outfit: Allison's tights sweater.
Biggest star of the episode: Rex's foot injury. Until...
Most worrisome on-air emergency: Christiana's possible ankle sprain. (Get well soon, Christiana!) During rehearsal, Christiana said that she landed a jump, then felt her ankle roll. She's not exactly sure if it's a sprain, but she is worried that it will prevent her from performing Cinderella, which she says may be her last chance for the role since she's not exactly in the spring of her career.
Best on-air advice: Allison's insistence that Christiana elevates her ankle. Yes! Remember everyone: RICE! Rest, ice, compress, elevate.
Biggest rebel: Katie Martin wearing shorts—not tights—in class at The Rock. Those ballet dancers from Idaho...badass.
Biggest rock: [Allison's best friend] Gloria's ring. Wowza. Allison, listen to her when she asks why Dr. Detroit couldn't come to you. Again, did you see that ring? She knows.
Prettiest leotard:
It's a tie between two of Beckanne's. The first (above), from early in the episode, a light brown suit with lacey sage green mesh 3/4 sleeves. (With a mesh back, too!)
And the second (right), the purple cowl-neck tank she rocks during class in Philly.
Biggest understatement: During a photo shoot with BW soloist slash photographer Beau Pearson, newly appointed BW corps member Zach Prentice says, "It's fun to feel like the center of attention...to have the cameras all on you." You don't say.
Coolest possession: Joshua Whitehead's old-timey popcorn machine, in the corner of the rec room where he and Rex shoot pool to relax and gossip about Allison.
Silliest camera moment: The intimate conversation between Allison and Rex that we can hear and read in subtitles, but not see. Instead, we get to watch Ballet West's stage door.
They are so getting back together.
Up Next: A bad fall and a dropped wig. "This ballet is cursed!" (Perhaps the biggest backstage overstatement.)

The grave of Moshe Dayan was vandalized on the anniversary of the former Israeli defense minister's death.
Graffiti reading "The minister of failure, on behalf of the fallen" was painted in red on Dayan's gravestone early Tuesday morning, 31 years since the date of his death.
A memorial service was held at the site in the military section of Nahalal cemetery in northern Israel on Oct. 14.
The Defense Ministry in a statement issued Tuesday "strongly" condemned the attack. The ministry said it sent members of its Unit for the Commemoration of the Soldier to repair the gravestone.
Dayan served as defense minister during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. He also served as chief of staff for the Israel Defense Forces from 1953 to 1958.

Best yet to come for Briles, Baylor
Sports smorgasbord, while wondering whatever happened to former Stamford High football standout Dallas Christian?
When former Rule all-around athlete Art Briles got the head football coaching job at Baylor, most of the critics felt he had signed his career death warrant because the Waco school had been a graveyard for football coaches.
I was in the group that felt Briles, who turned around programs at Hamlin, Stephenville and the University of Houston, would be the one to turn the Bears around if anyone could.
So far he has. They won 10 games last season for the first time in modern history, won a bowl game, produced the Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III and has sent various players to the pros.
Granted, Baylor might not have been successful this past season without RG3, but Briles recruited him, so give the coaching staff a lot of credit. But save some for Griffin, who made the recruiting a lot easier for next year.
One of those guys who spend a lot of time on the road selling the program is Phillip Montgomery, the former Eastland High quarterback and the Bears' offensive coordinator who coached with Briles at Stephenville and Houston.
Another feather in Briles' cap was he was the only major college coach to offer a scholarship to Wylie quarterback Case Keenum, who broke most of the NCAA passing records at Houston.
Defense at Baylor has been a problem, but Montgomery and his cohorts have lined up help on that side of the ball for its 2013 class. Eight of the first 13 commits have come from defensive players and another could wind up in the secondary.
It wasn't too many years ago that most high school athletes would not have considered Baylor, but Griffin and Briles changed that with their combined efforts. It should get even better.
Trial run suits Eugene
Eugene, Ore., is making a pitch to host the Olympic Trials every year. There were over 21,000 fans sitting in the rain to watch the track portion the first part of last week.
Then on Thursday, after two days of no competition, the lines started forming two hours before the gates were open. You do not see that kind of attendance at track meets any more.
This is the second year in a row for Eugene to host it and city officials came up with ideas with track-related trips and displays to boost the meet.
Shipley shipshape again
Jordan Shipley and his father Bob, the head football coach at Brownwood High, put on a football camp in Austin recently with a lot of help from other UT football players. Jordan said the camp idea came from Bob, who had some spare time this summer and apparently had a good time with the kids.
Jordan, who played high school football at Rotan and Burnet and then at Texas, is getting ready for the Cincinnati Bengals training camp, where he is over the knee injury that cut last season short.
He sports a shaggy hairdo that caused his dad to comment, "I am proud of him, but I wish he would get his hair cut," But kids will be kids.
Keenum states his case
Apparently, Case Keenum is tired of hearing that he is too short and doesn't have a strong arm. It didn't slow him down in college where he had a record-setting career at Houston.
But his Houston Texans coaches and teammates are not among his critics. Keenum at 6-0 5/8 is shorter than most NFL quarterbacks and he says just because you are 6-4 doesn't mean you can play pro ball.
"If you move the ball down the field as a quarterback and breaking records like Drew Brees (New Orleans QB), nobody says anything about how tall you are," Keenum said recently. "If the offense is moving the ball down the field, it doesn't matter if you are 5-11 or 6-2."
Keenum said the pro draft days were not fun because his name was not one of the 253 called out, but when it was over, he knew where he was going — across town to the Texans as a free agent.
Don't be surprised if he doesn't get the last laugh at his critics.
End of quote
"I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?" — Baseball player Yogi Berra

Supersonic rotation in mirrors may be produced by radio-frequency waves. The waves produce coupled diffusion in ion kinetic and potential energy. A population inversion along the diffusion path then produces rotation. Waves may be designed to exploit a natural kinetic energy source or may provide the rotation energy on their own. Centrifugal traps for fusion and isotope separation may benefit from this wave-driven rotation.

Police are looking for a man over a consignment of ivory that was seized at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi last Friday. According to head of CID at the airport, Joseph Ngisa, the man delivered tusks, packed in six wooden boxes, to the Kenya Airways export warehouse on Thursday and declared it assorted vehicle spare parts. An Ethiopian Airline was scheduled to transport the illegal consignment to Lagos, Nigeria.
A statement from the Kenya Wildlife Service said sniffer dogs detected the tusks during normal checks. Ngisa said the boxes were ran through screening machines before being opened. "We are looking for the man who booked in the cargo. As of now he is a suspect . We are also taking note he could have given a false identity when he booked in the cargo," he said. Police also said that the tusks could have been smuggled from Uganda, Tanzania or Zambia. A total of 345 pieces of tusks, that weighed 745 kilogrammes, were found in the boxes.

For our Maine summer vacation, my wife and I stayed four nights at the cozy and rustic Chocolate Chip Bed and Breakfast Inn (St. Germain Room) in the small town of Lamoine - about a half hour drive from Bar Harbor but on the doorstep of Lamoine Beach and Lamoine State Park. Sue and Eric are excellent and knowledgeable hosts who will make your visit to their inn a special one; they are very nice. If you have any dietary needs or restrictions (e.g., gluten free, lactose free), they will do their best to accommodate them. In addition, they can provide great recommendations for things to see and do, places to eat, and other events of interest. The inn is exceptionally clean and new (the owners built much of it themselves - a true labor of love - and opened it just a few years ago); the breakfasts are terrific; and the surroundings are peaceful with a nice pond on the grounds. We highly recommend this inn to anyone visiting the Downeast Acadia region.

We enjoyed our stay at Chocolate Chip Bed & Breakfast very much. This was definitely the best B&B during our holiday! Sue and Eric are perfect hosts, very warm and welcoming. Their house is wonderful decorated and spotless clean. In the evening we enjoyed choclate chip cookies and in the morning we had delicious breakfast. This is the perfect location for relaxing and exploring the Acadia National Park!

My husband and I were lucky enough to stumble onto this DELIGHTFUL bed and breakfast. Is is brand new with old world charm - a home to envy. Located half mile from a lesser known beach on Frenchman's Bay, this gem is off the beaten path and still close to all the attractions of Arcadia National Park. Drive over to Mt. Dessert Island to hike the beautiful mountains of Arcadia, or call the local kayak delivery man and kayak the calm waters of the bay - complete with eagles, seals, and dolphins. Return to your beautiful and peaceful room at Chocolate Chip B & B. Sue will cook you the BEST breakfast ever and she will make her delicious creations to your wants and needs (gluten-free, vegan, etc). Her gluten-free cookies and muffins were as good as her fabulous wheat-made ones. Eric and Sue are kind and caring. They thought of everything to make us feel welcomed and our stay comfortable. Ask them to tell you their story - it is inspiring! We can't wait to return.

Sue and Eric did a wonderful job of taking an old home and rebuilding it into a bed and breakfast. They tore down the barn and used it in building onto the home. The hospitality was great and Eric provided local travel tips. Sue's breakfasts were wonderful. It was very clean. Sitting on the front porch rockers in the morning with a cup of coffee added to our vacation and relaxation. It was wonderful and we would stay there again. We stayed two nights.

My husband and I found this wonderful B&B online and were immediately attracted to the delicious sounding name. Chocolate chip cookies at bedtime...how couldn't that be perfect? This adorable yellow house far exceeded our expectations. Sue and Eric tell a wonderful history of the making of this house -- how it was the dream of theirs to create a piece of home for Maine travelers. Six years of labor, love, energy, and time ... and what a beautiful product! The wooden flooring is gorgeous, and this family renovated everything themselves (tore down the barn and used the wooden paneling throughout --Work of art! You should ask to see the original photos to compare!) The new renovations include 5 guest rooms that are thoughtfully and uniquely decorated. Sue makes her own quilts for each room! We stayed in the "Mrs. Muir's Room" (Nautical Room) -- lots of natural sunlight, beautiful decor, comfortable bed, and spacious bathroom! Views of both garden and pond. Each of their five children named a room, so each have their own personality and charm. We stayed 2 nights and the first morning Sue made us delicious Belgian waffles, yogurt & granola, and sausages. The second morning was white chocolate pudding parfait, Snickerdoodle muffins, and strata. Absolutely perfect both meals! True to the name "Chocolate Chip B&B," both breakfasts had sprinkles of chocolate chips cleverly incorporated into each. If you have a sweet tooth, this is going to be your breakfast heaven! (and if you don't, you can ask Sue to make you anything to your liking!) Both Sue and Eric were very gracious hosts and offered many recommendations on activities to fill our remaining days in Bar Harbor. There is plenty of lounging space (library, living room, large breakfast room, etc.) with books, magazines, and games. We also had a nice jog/walk along the beach and cooled off on the rocking chairs on the front porch afterward. We had such a wonderful time staying with Sue and Eric, and will be sure to return!

The rooms are fantastic, the food is great, the establishment is perfect. The location is ideal and the morning sun coming thru the east side windows was refreshing. Eric and Sue treat you like family, and are very warm and easy to talk to. I didn't want to leave! Give it a shot...you will not be disappointed!

We often travel to the near by Lamoine beach. We loved the outside appearance of this B&B. So for our anniversary we gave them a call. Eric and Sue are amazing hosts. Our room had everything we needed and was clean. The main gathering areas were stocked with games, book and puzzles. Our favorite part of our weekend away were the quiet mornings with coffee and a lovely breakfast! We will be making this a semi annual place to stay! ~ Mr and Mrs Dorr

Visiting the Chocolate Chip B&B was a welcomed experience. Hosts Eric and Sue have thought of everything to make a guest feel at home, from homemade quilts on the beds, public rooms full of books for leisurely reading, rocking chairs on the porch and especially the Belgian waffles for breakfast. If you are fortunate, you might even be treated to the duckling parade, as momma leads her brood to the pond on the property. A photo opportunity not to be missed. I definitely recommend the Chocolate Chip B&B for a relaxing get-away. A Connecticut traveler.

Ambient Execution Description
This issue of climate change is hard to keep front of mind with the public - whilst the issue is urgent, the impact seems hard to quantify. The WWF were looking for an impactful way to keep the public talking and tweeting, keeping climate change on the agenda. With zero budget, how could they drive the public to their website to find out more?
In early 2012, ice formed on the canals of Amsterdam. It was big news, (the first time it's happened in 17 years). This presented us with a unique opportunity to raise awareness of climate change in a way that hadn't been done before.
We devised a new and environmentally-friendly method of delivering messages onto ice.
In prime spots around the city, we transferred* QR codes onto the ice, which had a link to the WWF site (http://www.wnf.nl/nl/wat_wnf_doet/thema_s/klimaat/) and instantly put the problem of climate change in people's hands. Once the ice started to melt, it was a natural, relevant and visual 'demonstration' of the problem. There was no media spend, and there are no laws against printing on ice. It got the public talking.
*Transferring the QR code onto ice was done through the use of a custom-made (and environmentally-friendly) thick 'sand' that naturally stuck to the ice. It was applied through a sheet-metal stencil. Even during wind the QR code was scannable, disintegrating only once the ice melted.
