Making A Case For A Hank Pym Ant-Man Prequel
Ant-Man hasn't even hit theaters yet but talk of a sequel or prequel has begun. Director Peyton Reed has shared his eagerness to come back and do a continuation or a prologue for Ant-Man. In his enthusiasm, he puts major emphasis on the character of Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man. Hank Pym is an integral character in the Marvel universe. He's a founding member of the Avengers. He also created the peacekeeping robot turned malevolent android Ultron. That's just in the comic books. Hank Pym had his own superhero career before Scott Lang took the mantle. A prequel seems like the most logical route to go.

There's an endless array of minimalist, "distraction free" text editors to capture notes and ideas, but what about more visual, free-form thoughts? Fapptory's $7 Delineato Pro (Mac App Store link) is a new diagramming and mind-mapping Mac app with a clean design and lack of visual clutter.
Each Delineato Pro document starts fresh with a gray canvas that is limitless in size. There are five other themes to choose from, but they're mostly similar. To add to the canvas, either double or right-click to bring up a palette of shapes and lines, then drag the desired object onto the canvas. A grid can be enabled to help you align objects.
There are two simple ways to connect shapes. You can just drop a line out of the palette, then drag each end to connect it to a shape. Alternatively, click on a shape, then drag on one of the pop-up arrows to draw a line to another shape. If you just drag a line out of a shape and drop it on a blank spot in the canvas, it will create another shape of the same type.
There are a number of shapes to choose from, like clouds, but there are also purpose-specific shapes intended for Concepts, Tasks, Ideas, and Notes. You also have a selection of lines to choose from, including my favorite, a curved line that makes just about any diagram look elegant.
Some aspects of Delineato Pro aren't so elegant, though. On my 2011 MacBook Pro, text appears blurry when using the default light gray background. The grayness of the text blends with the grayness of the background, detracting from readability. Changing the background to dark removes this issue. Also, in my experiments, the Cochin italic typeface that the app uses looked the least blurry on a light background.
Another drawback is the lack of OPML support, which is the standard import/export format of most diagramming and mind-mapping apps. Nor is there a corresponding iOS app, so for now, your drawings are trapped on the Mac.
Despite that, there are plenty of built-in ways to share a drawing, including email, Twitter, Facebook, and even AirDrop. By default, Delineato Pro saves to iCloud, with Dropbox support planned for a future release.
Delineato Pro takes its Zen-inspired minimalism seriously. There is an option to play "Zen Music" as you work, which is a relaxing theme with chimes and piano. However, the music clip is only a few seconds long, so it gets old fast.
Delineato Pro is a wonderfully minimal app that still needs a bit of polish. But for a mere $7, it's hard to pass up investing in an app with an awesome future in store. Once import/export and blurry text are fixed, Delineato Pro will be a beautiful bargain of a diagramming app.

From Our Editors
Wearing a flower behind your ear can add vibrancy to any hairstyle, but the stylists at FLiP Salon go a step further?they infuse hair with sunflower oil. Botanical extracts from castor, jojoba, and other plants are the calling cards of their Aveda color products. They meticulously apply the color, creating looks with names such as Sunkissed Blonde?a mix of highlights and lowlights that emulates natural flaxen hair more convincingly than a wig made from straw.
That particular shade is owner Shannon Kitchen-Juarez's signature color. Shannon has created it after more than 25 years of experience in the salon business and training from acclaimed names such as Toni&Guy and Bumble and bumble. She and her team strive to accommodate more than just those who want blond locks. Their color ranges from subtle to bright and audacious, and includes ombre highlights. Brazilian blowouts, updos, and haircuts round out their list of services.

Man Arrested for Breaking Into Bar on Two Separate Occasions
Lexington County Sheriff's Department deputies arrested a 40-year-old Swansea man on charges that the man broke into a bar on Jim Rucker Road near Swansea on January 25 and again on February 4, stealing a combined total of $2,500 in cash and coins from the cash register and coin-operated machines as well as four cases of Bud Light beer worth about $80.
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts said deputies arrested Brian Heath Gonzales, 40, of 655 Hyman Road, Lot 3, Swansea, on arrest warrants on two counts of second-degree burglary. Gonzales was being held on Friday, February 14 at the Lexington County Detention Center on bail totaling $30,000.
An arrest warrant alleges that on the night of January 25 Gonzales broke into the front door of The Barn bar at 706 Jim Rucker Road without the consent of the owner and with the intent to steal items from the bar, Metts said. Gonzales stole $1,000 from the bar's cash register and also stole four cases of Bud Light beer.
An arrest warrant further alleges that on the night of February 4 Gonzales broke into the front door of The Barn bar without the consent of the owner and with the intent to steal items from the bar, Metts said. Gonzales stole $1,500 in quarters from the bar's cash register as well as coin-operated machines at the bar. K-9 Unit Deputy Adam Clayton and his K-9 police dog partner, Bady, tracked Gonzales' movements from an area near the bar to Gonzales' home.
At about 8:41 a.m. on February 4 deputies responded to a call about a burglary at The Barn, Metts said. A citizen found one bag of burglary tools, one bag that contained quarters, disposable lighters and beer on a utility right-of-way in the 600 block of Jim Rucker Road.
Clayton found footprints, which had been left in sandy soil during a strong rainstorm, in the utility right-of-way on Jim Rucker Road near the burglary tools and other items, Metts said.
Clayton and Bady followed the trail of footprints for about four miles from the utility right-of-way, which was near The Barn, to Gonzales' home on Hyman Road, where deputies arrested Gonzales in connection with the burglaries at The Barn, Metts said. Calhoun County Sheriff's Office deputies assisted Lexington County deputies in arresting Gonzales since Gonzales lives in Calhoun County.
Detectives and Calhoun County deputies searched Gonzales' home and recovered one box of Goody's headache-relief powders that had been stolen from The Barn, Metts said. Detectives determined that the money bag found on the utility right-of-way on Jim Rucker Road contained about $1,500 in quarters that had been stolen from The Barn.
Metts asked anyone with information about additional criminal activity involving Gonzales to contact the Lexington County Sheriff's Department at (803) 785-8230 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC. Citizens also can provide information anonymously by accessing the Crime Tip link on the Sheriff's Department web site (www.lexingtonsheriff.com).

PERTH Scorchers coach Justin Langer kept his word to Twenty20 specialist Alfonso Thomas.
The former Australian representative told the veteran South African all-rounder, a former teammate of his at English county, Somerset, that he would be his first signing if he ever became coach of a Twenty20 team.
When Langer replaced Lachlan Stevens as coach of the Warriors and Scorchers in November, he was straight on the phone to Thomas, asking the 35-year-old to bring his experience Down Under.
He couldn't arrive in time for the first two games of the BBL campaign, games the Scorchers lost, but he has repaid Langer's faith in his ability since he first donned a bright orange shirt in round three.
Thomas, who played for the Adelaide Strikers in last summer's BBL, has taken 12 wickets in his six games this season at an impressive average of 10.80.
His economy rate is an outstanding 5.54 an over, and his best return has been 4-8.
It's form like that, together with that of opener Shaun Marsh, the competition's leading run-scorer with 328 runs at an average of 65.6, which has played a leading role in the Scorchers earning a home semi-final showdown against the Melbourne Stars at the WACA tonight.
The last time the two teams met in round 2 at the WACA, paceman Lasith Malinga destroyed the Scorchers, taking 6-7, the best figures in Australian domestic Twenty20 history, as the Shane Warne-captained Stars won by 10-wickets on the Duckworth/Lewis system.
Malinga won't be playing tonight as he is in the Sri Lankan ODI squad preparing for the third game at the Gabba on Friday.
Thomas said he and his teammates could not afford to take the Stars lightly, even without Malinga in the bowling attack.
"There is no doubt losing him (Malinga) does make a huge difference when you take into account what he did against us earlier this season," Thomas said.
"Saying that, they still have a decent bowling attack - Jackson Bird is coming off playing in a couple of Tests and he'll be confident, while James Faulkner is always a threat.
"Our batters will have to be on their game, for sure."
The Stars will also be missing Clint McKay and David Hussey through international commitments, but Thomas, whose nickname in England is "The Great Alfonso" (after a UK magician) because of his ability to bowl dot-balls at the death, said the visitors still posed a huge threat.
"The line-up is still a very dangerous one," he said.
"They will be well and truly up for it - Warney will certainly rev them up."

I have a web application that does a bunch of things, and need to write a C# program to print a document that is generated by the system.
When a user clicks the print button on the web form (
window.print()), it will print to a specific printer without popping up the print dialog box.
I tried
webbrowser.print(), but it only prints the web interface without the pop up.
One of the things that I'm looking for is a way to handle a print job created by the website. I want the C# program to be able to remove the print dialog box and print directly to the printer.
Can anyone give me a hint as to how I can go about implementing this, or explain why (if) this isn't possible?
P.S. I cannot change anything in the web application. That is why I want to write a C# program to perform/manage this additional action.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought-provoking crime thriller
Novels in the mystery and suspense genres often get a bad rap, with aspirations to something other than the typical being overlooked, or at most touted as "transcending the genre." The second entry in Joe R. Lansdale's series starring Hap Collins and Leonard Pine, Mucho Mojo, is a book just like that.

3.0 out of 5 stars LANSDALE STORIES? YES! LANSDALE NOVELS? NO!
Joe R. Lansdale is, in my opinion, one of the best cult writers of our time when it comes to the short story. Any of his collections of short fiction is worth the MSRP price, no question. His voice is raw, crude, rude, vulgar, crass and funny as hell. Unfortunately, Ol' Joe just doesn't have the kind of imagination that fits well into novel format. I don't consider...

Novels in the mystery and suspense genres often get a bad rap, with aspirations to something other than the typical being overlooked, or at most touted as "transcending the genre." The second entry in Joe R. Lansdale's series starring Hap Collins and Leonard Pine, Mucho Mojo, is a book just like that.
When Leonard's uncle Chester dies, he inherits the old homeplace. This causes complex feelings in Leonard since Chester had disowned Leonard on learning that Leonard was gay. While he and Hap are fixing up the place, they discover a large wooden box in which is found a child's skeleton and a stash of child porn magazines. Despite the obvious circumstantial evidence, Hap urges Leonard to look into alternative explanations. Meanwhile, they meet up the drug dealers across the street, a local preacher with questionable motives, and the lovable MeMaw, Leonard's neighbor who always has time (and an open invitation) for a glass of tea.
In addition to the plot involving the secret murders of several of a small town's black children, Mucho Mojo investigates such heavy subjects as relationships -- whether black-white, man-woman, gay-straight, adult-child, young-old -- and racism. And all the while Lansdale delivers a cracker of a crime novel, with a terrific ending, that continues the story of the main characters as begun in Savage Season.
5.0 out of 5 stars These Hap&Leonard guys are hilarious!,
Matthew King (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
Mucho Mojo is the second installment in the Hap&Leonard series. The first book in the series is savage season but that novel is now out of print and quite difficult to find. Besides, I've been hearing through the grapevine that it is easily the weakest entry in Lansdale's five-book Hap&Leonard series. I felt like Mucho Mojo was the best place to start and I was not dissapointed in the least.
The story is set in rural East Texas in a segregated black section of the town of Laborde. Leonard's uncle Chester has recently passed away and Leonard inherits his house. While him and Hap are working on renovating the house, they discover the remains of a young child hidden in a metal chest. Leonard refuses to believe that his uncle was a child killer and convinces Hap to help him uncover the mystery behind the child's murder.
As always, Joe Lansdale dazzles the reader with his unique writing style. You can practically feel the heat of a Texas summer day. I would have to say the highlights of this novel were the verbal exchanges between Hap&Leonard. There was something to make me laugh on every page. Now I want to read all of the Hap&Leonard books.
3.0 out of 5 stars LANSDALE STORIES? YES! LANSDALE NOVELS? NO!,
Matthew C. Pinkerton (Denver, Colorado United States) - See all my reviews
Joe R. Lansdale is, in my opinion, one of the best cult writers of our time when it comes to the short story. Any of his collections of short fiction is worth the MSRP price, no question. His voice is raw, crude, rude, vulgar, crass and funny as hell. Unfortunately, Ol' Joe just doesn't have the kind of imagination that fits well into novel format. I don't consider this to be a major criticism of him, but I do think it suggests that he keep his efforts directed at shorter narrative forms. Way back when I read "The Nightrunners," I passed off the book's shortcomings as simply the natural by-product of a first novel. Let's face it, even the best writers usually have a bum time of it their first day out. However, after having read "Mucho Mojo," I think I can say without hesitation that Lansdale should simply stay away from the format all together. The book has some interesting and highly atmospheric touches, to be sure. The plot, however, is one of the weakest I've ever read. Anyone paying attention and not simply using the book as something to do during lay-overs will have no problem putting the mystery together. The rest is simply a long slog as we wait for the two protagonists to play catch-up. There is also a ridiculous love story angle thrown in for no apparent reason and which adds absolutely nothing to the story. Weak, weak, weak! As I say, the book isn't without its stylistic charms (hence the three star rating), and Lansdale still ranks high on my list of contemporary authors (hence the high probability of my purchasing any forthcoming short story collections), but do yourself a favor, dear reader, avoid this guy's novels like the plague. Read or reread "Writer of the Purple Rage" or "By Bizarre Hands" for a real taste of Mr. Lansdale's talent.
5.0 out of 5 stars Muchas Gracias, Senor Lansdale,
I've found another author to read regularly. This novel is my introduction to Hap Collins and Leonard Pine, two friends who happen to have one of the most original and realistic relationships I've read. Hap travels to La Borde, Texas with Leonard, who has been left his recently deceased uncle's old house. As they are fixing up the house they discover a small skeleton and several kiddie porn magazines buried under the floor. Leonard cannot accept that Uncle Chester was a ...child murderer so he persuades Hap to help him clear Chester's name. That decision opens the door to an expertly plotted and neatly tied together mystery. Lansdale gives pieces of information that are not contrived but flow into the story and add interest and color. He introduced characters and relationships that I became interested in and wanted to learn more about. The sarcasm and repartee between Hap and Leonard is reason enough to read the book. Put that clever and realistic dialogue in a mystery full of colorful characters that also has some very suspenseful moments and you have a few hours of rich, first-rate entertainment. I highly recommend MUCHO MOJO.
5.0 out of 5 stars THE EXPLOSIVE DUO HAS THEIR HANDS FULL IN THIS ONE!!!!,
Wayne C. Rogers "Wayne C. Rogers" (Las Vegas, Nevada United States) - See all my reviews
The second novel in the "Hap Collins/Leonard Pine" series by Joe R. Lansdale is MUCHO MOJO. The title basically translates into "very bad magic" or "evil," while the story itself deals with the actual evil that human beings are capable of perpetrating. The novel begins when Leonard's Uncle Chester passes away and leaves his house and a hundred thousand dollars to his nephew. Leonard decides to stay in his late uncle's house in order to fix it up and talks Hap into moving in with him to help with the repairs. Everything is running smoothly until they rip up some old floorboards and discover a trunk beneath the house that has the bones of a murdered child in it, along with magazines of kiddy porn. At first they think that Uncle Chester was the culprit who killed the child, but as they probe deeper into the mystery it soon becomes apparent that LaBorde, Texas has a serial killer living within its midst...a person who is still alive and has been killing children for the last nine years. If that isn't enough, next door to Leonard's new home is a crack house, occupied by drug dealers who don't particularly like their new neighbors, but do like selling drugs to kids. This has all of the makings of a keg of black powder ready to explode; and, when it does, you definitely don't want to be on the receiving end of Hap and Leonard's anger! Needless to say, the East Texas duo will have their hands full as they do battle on two different fronts, taking names, kicking butt, and driving stakes into the hearts of the human monsters that are killing LaBorde's children. MUCHO MOJO delivers the same powerful kick of fun and entertainment as the other books in this utterly addictive series, but there's much more to this novel than meets the eye. Hap and Leonard have dealt with bad people and bad situations throughout most of their lives. This time around, however, they get a taste of what pure evil is like and have to question their own belief system about life, God, and the nature of being human. Neither one of them will come away untouched by what they encounter, knowing deep within themselves that sometimes people become evil by the circumstances of their lives, while others are simply born that way. Whatever the reasons, these are dangerous predators that have to be taken out the hard way, even if it means becoming judge, jury, and executioner. Mr. Lansdale's writing is as smooth as melted butter being poured on hot popcorn, his skill at creating believable dialogue is matched only by Elmore Leonard and Stephen King, and his unique ability to weave a suspenseful story line with characters that live and breath the East Texas air is simply unmatched. Pick up any of the "Hap Collins/Leonard Pine" novels, and you will quickly find yourself addicted to the writings of this remarkable author. This is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for readers searching for that special kind of writer who, not only entertains us, but also causes us to think and question our own day-to-day living. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars A modern masterpiece of suspense,
Gary Jonas "author of Acheron Highway" (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews
Joe R. Lansdale is a writer like no other. He hears the music and translates it better than just about anyone. MUCHO MOJO is a fine-tuned suspense novel cranked up to the max. This is the second book in the series about Hap and Leonard, two Texas buddies who get into tons of trouble. Hap is a straight white guy and Leonard is a gay black man. Both are brilliantly realized characters and you're going to love them. You could just hang out with Hap and Leonard for a few hundred pages listening to them talk about stuff and you'd have a great time. But Lansdale is a true master. He hammers out a great story to drive the suspense. The scene where Hap and Leonard are in a black bar and Leonard explains various deragotory terms to Hap (like "honky" and a number of them that I can't print here) is worth the price of admission alone. There's humor, action and suspense as only Joe R. Lansdale can deliver.
4.0 out of 5 stars Like a freight train driven by a drunk conductor!,
After I finished this book, I had trouble trying to slot it in a classification. It was a mystery, that much is certain, but it is not a typical "here's the detective, here's the crime, here are the suspects, unveil the culprit" mystery. This book has more characterization than any five modern mystery books combined.
Hap and Leonard are the sleuth duo for the 90's. Their witty, brave, compassionate, driven, and the best of friends. Oh yeah, one's black and the other is white, but don't think for one moment that this book is politically correct. In fact, it is one of the most politically incorrect books I have ever read. And I laughed my *ss off in nearly every chapter at something Lansdale wrote.
Great stuff. Do yourself a favor and read something by Joe Lansdale! I wouldn't steer you wrong. If he was not worthy of the hype, I'd call him a hack.
4.0 out of 5 stars Lansdale is the king,
Ryan Thomas "Magazine Editor" (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Since discovering Lansdale earlier this year, I've read everythign i can get my hands on. i even visit his website once a week because he posts a new short story every Thrursday. The guy is simply amazing. By and far the best writer I've read in a long time, simply hilarious.
Hap and Leonard are two of the coolest characters I've ever had the pleasure to read about. One white trash, the other a black gay man. together they're two of the toughest honchos to ever clean up a neighborhood. I can't wait for the movie (though I'm sure it'll be crap in comparison).
Only reason I'm giving this four stars instead of five is that the mystery is a bit easy to solve. But it dosesn't realy matter because it's such a fun read. And now that Bubba Ho tep has been made into film (an amazingly funny film at that) you can expect to see a lot of lansdale's work translated to the screen.
5.0 out of 5 stars I was offended, disgusted and throughly entertained!,
Mark Thomas Paul (Chicopee, MA United States) - See all my reviews
Those who are politically correct and who don't want to laugh at stigmas, stereotypes and others misfortunes will miss a real treat. The plot and the story are well written as well as the sarcasm and the wisecracks which will leave you giggling to yourself and too embarassed to tell your partner what you are snickering about. This is an offbeat author who has created a cult following. Mucho Mojo takes the worse social problems, child exploitation, drug use and violence and turns it into a mystery unraveled by two guys you would like to meet in a novel but would not want living one your street. Throw in one of the dearest grandma figures as well as a corrupt minister and you have a bizarre story which will hook you to this series. Yes I was so disgusted by this book that the third time I read it I said that enough is enough! (Time to move on to the next book in the series!)
5.0 out of 5 stars pure entertainment,
Laura D. Fields (Kingsport, Tn. United States) - See all my reviews
I stumbled upon Joe Lansdale's Mucho Mojo on a bargain table. The cover grabbed me and the preview was interesting so I paid the four bucks and went home. That's when it all began. I have read many books and I must say that the Hap and Leonard stories are the best ever. Joe Lansdale doesn't mess around. If you aren't engrossed, laughing or wanting more after the first page then you should check your pulse. Joe Lansdale is a true storyteller with his own unique crop of adjectives and the most hilarious group of metaphors I've ever read. I can't tell you how many times I have suggested this book to someone. Even non-readers get hooked. Since that first introduction I read everything I can find. He has other stories that are equally entertaining. But Hap and Leonard are two characters that come alive and will hopefully live forever.

I recently purchased this in 17 STAY GOLDEN and I like everything about it. I am extremely oily, nothing has ever been able to keep me shine free, for any decent amount of time (I use shiseido blotting papers) and this powder unfortunately is no exception but please keep in mind I am VERY oily. Depending on your skin type you may have better results. As far as the packaging I would like it to have a separate compart for the sponge applicator but I just leave the little round plastic disc in the compact so it is not sitting on top of the powder. For me these are the reasons I will keep repurchasing, its sheer, it feels great on, not cakey and evens out my skintone and I love the color match which is very unusual for me. I am so over the cakey, heavy powder foundations, I am very happy with my purchase! :)

Another Clinique winner. I just recently switched to this from the double powder, and this offers a nice finish (not chalky or too dry) but also controls my oil very very well. I always end up looking like an oil slick by 3 pm but with this powder I just touch up if I need to and keep moving. The color selection is perfect as well.
EDIT**This compact broke pretty soon after I bought it, which normally does not happen w/ Clinique! I use it as a blotting powder now, and still love the oil control but find that I need more coverage on some days than this can offer.

LOVE it! I have been using this powder for 16 years!!!!!! HG for me! I can see how if you have very very oily skin, this may not work as well for you. I have normal skin and this leaves my face flawless and even a bit dewy looking although it is a "matte" powder. Pores are invisible with this stuff...amazing powder.

This is my HG powder. I have used it on and off for 10 years, but always come back to it after having some horrible experience with another brand. It's very natural, smooth and doesn't break me out and I am VERY prone to break outs. I don't like a lot of coverage, I suffer from mild acne and have some red marks on my face, but I still don't like anything heavy or mask-like, because I prefer just an evened out, natural look. I typically wear a tinted moisturizer or light foundation underneath this powder and the powder sets everything and keeps me matte. I do have an oily t-zone and in warmer months I might need to blot, but that's rare, I usually just look "dewy."

I am obssesed with pressed powder !!! I have ridiculously oily skin soo obviously pressed powder is a must ! I have tried every single powder, loose powder and poweder foundation there is, and theres always some drawback, setttles in line, doesnt control oil, turns too dark or whatever. Soo far this is the best powder i've used it doesnt settle into lines, last ALL day, controls oil and has the cutest compact. My skin looks nice and even and smooth love it !!! I tried this before they released their new shades (I used the stay brandy) and I didnt like it because of the bad color matches. But I picked this up in stay nutmeg and I love it !!! My makeup doesnt look heavy or gross even after my 8.5 hour work day. This is going to be the only powder I will use unless something better comes along which I doubt will.

I have worn this product in Stay Buff for ten years, and it is my HG powder. It is a bit expensive for my preference, but I have not been able to find a drugstore product to compare with this one. I usually wait until GWP time to buy a replacement. The color perfectly matches my skin, and it works well to set concealer and tone down any oiliness. For reference, I have pale cool-toned combination skin.

I bought this product looking for a powder that would provide the lightest amount of color but absorb the oil on my face. Most powders are way to heavy for my already oily face. I love this stuff. I use 10 Stay Amber and it gives me even color, feels very light on the face, absorbs the oil for hours and does not change colors. One of the best pressed powders I've tried in years. I also use this to set my concealer and my face is perfect!

Love this no frills powder. Nice shades, has a little bit of coverage, which is nice over my TM. Really makes my skin appear baby smooth (it is smooth, but even smoother with this one). In fact, the effect is so dramatic that the women at work gossip about how smooth my skin is and ask me what products I use. It's the Clinique Almost Make-up and this powder that create that effect. Doesn't irritate my rosacea. Does a decent job of keeping my skin matte. I usually have to blot and touch up the t-zone during the summer, but that's to be expected with most products =). I always buy this..is my HG.

I like this product enough to buy it again. The color options are nice and I found one that matches me really well. I'm NC35-NC40 and I use stay golden in this. It keeps the shine at bay fairly well (I don't usually touch up during the day with powder) and it has never turned orange on me. I use this to set my concealer and all over my face. This one is on the less expensive side for a department store powder and works just as well if not better than others. I'll keep using this until I find a pressed powder that wows my socks off.

I want to hold your hand!!!
I'm a junior at Radford University studying Web Design. I'm very sarcastic (the kind that makes you laugh) and I make a lot of pop culture references. My taste in music? I listen to literally every type of music but modern country and death metal. I'm also a huge movie buff but if I had to pick a favorite movie it would be Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World. I could spend hours talking about movies and music. Just about me, ive never been in a real relationship. I'm done being single, it's overrated. I'm not the kind of guy who does one night stands or casual hookups, it's just not me. I'm am also someone who takes cheating very seriously, and has absolutely no tolerance for it. I'm a hopeless romantic and will do whatever it takes to make a girl happy. What i'm looking for? If I could have a model relationship that would be my relationship, it would be Jim and Pam's. I want to be able to generate conversation without trying, so we never run out of things to talk about. Most importantly I want to be able to make each other laugh. I just think experiences are a lot better when you have someone to share them with, and I want someone to share my life with. I'm a very happy person and I love to make people happy. So I figure if I find someone I can make happy all the time, that would be tops!

He said: "I'd like a daddy's girl.
"I'll be steady in New York, and then, after I do the play, the baby will be born and I'm going to be able to spend time with her."
Martin has been in a relationship for four years, which he admits he never expected to happen, and is hopeful of marrying one day, but only when it is legalised in his home country of Puerto Rico.
He told the Guardian newspaper: "That was not in my plans - not part of the schedule! His name is Carlos, and he's an amazing human being. He works with the other side of the brain, because he's a financial adviser, a stockbroker.
"Whenever it's time, I would love the option to marry in my land, my island, but unfortunately it's not an option yet, which I think is ridiculous.
"But it's part of a very beautiful process that's happening round the world little by little. Hopefully I will see it and my kids will see it."

Dutch queen to continue tradition, abdicate
THE HAGUE — The Netherlands' Queen Beatrix announced on Monday that she is ending her reign after 33 years and passing the crown to her eldest son, who has long been groomed to be king but who will have to work hard to match his mother's popularity.
"Responsibility for our country must now lie in the hands of a new generation," Beatrix, one of Europe's longest-serving monarchs, said in a televised speech.
Under Dutch law, the monarch has few powers, and the role is considered ceremonial, but Beatrix acted as glue that held together an increasingly divided society, observers say.
Dutch queens have made a tradition of stepping aside for the next generation during the past century. Sources close to the royal family said Beatrix did not want to go until she felt her son was ready and his children were old enough. She wanted to ensure that anti-immigrant politician Geert Wilders, of whom she disapproved, was in no danger of assuming real political influence.
She alluded in speeches to the need for tolerance and multiculturalism, comments that were seen as criticisms of Wilders' anti-Islamic views.
Wilders' poor showing in the last election and loss of influence in politics could well have contributed to her decision to abdicate.
The queen, who turns 75 in a few days, said she will step down from the throne on April 30. That same day, her eldest son, Willem-Alexander, will be appointed king, the country's first since Willem III died in 1890.
Willem-Alexander is a 45-year-old father of three young daughters, an International Olympic Committee member, a pilot and a water management expert who has had trouble shaking off his image as a beer-drinking fraternity boy whose blunt comments upset the press and politicians and did not fit the image of the Netherlands' low-key "bicycling monarchy."
With Willem-Alexander on the throne, the Netherlands is likely to revive the debate about the role of the monarchy and the high cost of maintaining the royal household, particularly when ordinary Dutch people are having to deal with austerity measures.

Don't panic—you didn't forget to pack a sleeping bag. The Marmot Plasma 30 Sleeping Bag is just so compact and lightweight that it may feel like you left it at home. This technologically advanced bag features a Pertex Quantum shell that is 25-50% lighter than standard sleeping bag shells, and lofty, highly compressible 900-fill down insulation. That's right, 900-fill down—the highest fill power available.
- Winner of numerous industry awards, including Outside Magazine's 2011 Gear of the Year, Backpacker Magazine's 2011 Editors' Choice, and National Geographic Adventure 2011 Gear of the Year
- EN comfort-rated at 42-degrees F for shoulder-season conditions; lower-limit-rated at 33-degrees F for occasional use during mild winter temps
- Ultra-premium 900-fill goose down is as light as a wisp of fog, as good at rebounding as a seven-foot-tall center, and features one of the highest warmth-to-weight ratios known to humankind
- Pertex Quantum shell fabric keeps weight to a minimum while maximizing packability and enhancing breathability so that condensation doesn't build up in the down insulation
- Intosect Flow vertical baffle system reduces weight and transfers heat from the core of your body to your extremities
- Vertical baffles optimize thermal performance and significantly reduce weight
- Down-filled draft collar, zipper-length draft tube, and ground-level seams help prevent leaks and improve warmth retention
- Wrap-around foot box vaults the foot area to prevent the compression of down and extend the bag's comfort range
- Two hang loops at the foot allow you to easily hang the bag to air it out

Marmot Plasma 30 Sleeping Bag:30 Degree Down
? Share a...
Paul Bonanzi
A lot of warmth. A lot of light.
There are no other bags I've found that will give you the weight, quality and warmth that Marmot has packed into this ultralight setup. I used it as a multi-purpose summer bag and a small, packable hut tripping bag for winter ski pursuits.
It's been a helpful addition to cut my pack down to 40l from 60l range.
The warmth collar is a great addition and the construction throughout is top-notch. The zipper occasionally gets snagged, but I've never owned a bag that hasn't. I have had a couple of breathability issues, so the full length zipper has been handy in letting off steam.
Best bag I have ever used
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The 30 degree Plasma bag is fantastic. It?s my summer back for Alaska(50 degree nights, down to low 40?s). Some other people are complaining about it having a full zipper, a draft collor and a ?pillow?. I don?t see were the complaint is, the bag still weights less then most ultra-light bags. Sure Marmot could have saved weight with a half length zipper, but the bag?s weight is still on par with its competitors. Bottom line: yes it is a full-featured bag, but it?s the lightest full-featured bag and is lighter then most ultra-light bags. Other then that the build quality is superb. While I have only had the bag for one summer, the durability is excellent so far.
The only downside is that it makes me want to upgrade my 15 degree bag to the plasma as well.
Hydrogen vs plasma? Which one is the...
Hydrogen vs plasma? Which one is the better sleeping bag? The plasma is pretty steep in price, but what features give it the advantage, if it has one, over the hydrogen?
Alexander S
Higher quality down 900 vs 850 and 3 oz lighter. They say that vertical baffles insulate better than horizontal and I can see how that makes sense, but in my opinion it's not enough to justify amount of increase in price. I have the zero degree lithium and it rocks, I would expect the hydrogen to perform the same for its temperature rating.
I seem to sense that some people think that a sleeping bag with higher quality fill will keep you warmer just because the fill is better, and is, therefore, better. But the only difference in, say, a 600 and 900 fill bag (assuming same model) with the same temp rating will be the weight and bulk of the bag. If you're car camping, cheaper is "better" here, but if you're backpacking, lighter and more compressible is "better." As Alexander said, there is a small weight difference, and vertical baffles, but, in theory, if the bags are rated to the same temperature, they should both perform the same while sleeping.
Does anyone know the fill weight?
Does anyone know the fill weight?
Also, I am 5'11'', should I get the regular or long version?
900 fill, it's in the description.
I think he meant how much the fill weighs...
11.82 oz / 335 g
as per Marmot's website.
Temps? I think the 30 would work better...
Temps? I think the 30 would work better for most of my trips than the 15, as I will have some nights up to 70 and as low as 20. I figure I'll just unzip and use more like a blanket on hotter nights? And layer clothing on colder ones. This will be my first high end bag, weight and stuff size are important to me. My question is will the 15 burn me out on a hot night any more than the 30? Enough to make a difference in my choice? Maybe I just need two bags since I'm looking at such big temp differences?
Matt Deen
I would go two bags, but I would splurge for the 15 to keep you warm on those cold nights and then pick up a cheap 30-40 degree down bag for those warmer nights on one of the many sales going on right now with the summer coming to an end soon. This is what I did last year and I'm very happy.
I think I will just look at two bags. I like the stuff size and weight of the Plasma so I might go with their 40 for summer. Also checking out some Western Mountaineering for a winter bag, thinking of going lower than 15, I guess it couldn't hurt to go 0 degrees if I'm only using it for colder trips? Thanks for the advice
Awesome Bag
I've read a couple reviews from people complaining that this is not a true "ultralight" bag because it has a full zip and built in pillow etc... All true, but the "extra" features make the bag more usable, even if it is and ounce or two heavier. I'm a tall guy (6'3") and the fit is good in the long. The pillow was frankly nice to have and the draw strings for the draft collar and the hole were easy to operate from inside the bag in the dark. 30 degrees is a bit generous, but 40 with wind was no problem. Storage sack and stuff sack are also top notch in quality. No feathers leaking after 10 days of use.
Great 3 Season Bag
I have had this bag on a 1 night trip which went down to 50F. Used it as a blanket worked beautifully. Expect to take it to 20F trips with additional sleeping layers no problem.
I heard that the only way to get 900 fill...
I heard that the only way to get 900 fill down is by live plucking geese, does Marmot comment on their down supply chain? I'm not sure the extra fill power is worth that kind of torture, I don't really care about geese but I don't need to go out of my way to $uck with them.
Dave Marcus
900-fill down is available from humane sources. Marmot says they source down from geese that have been raised for food, and that they harvest the down only after the geese have been savagely murdered. Doesn't that make you feel better?
I heard that 900 fill DUCK down can only be obtained via live plucking. 900 fill GOOSE down, on the other hand, can be done after the animal is dead.

Other summer weight bags are better!
Although the Plasma 30 is very comfortable and fashioned from some of the best ingredients available, we believe that other bags perform better in the ultralight summer category. For one, the Plasma has a full neck baffle with two snaps and a drawcord. While this feature is well designed we dont believe it belongs on an ultralight summer bag. Similarly, the hood is very comfortable, but almost too comfortable. Marmot stuffed extra down into the back of the hood to make a mini pillow. These features dont add too much extra weight, but they illustrate that the bag is designed more for comfort than for performance.
Baffle design: continuous horizontal baffles found in the Feathered Friends Merlin and Western Mountaineering Summerlite provide more versatility than the Plasma's vertical baffles. The Flow Gates (7-8 in each baffle) are made of no see um mesh neeting and cover most of the baffle. You can pass some down though them, but it's quite difficult. Continuous baffles are better because you can shift the down to the top of the bag if it's very cold and to the bottom if it's warmer.
Another potential drawback is the shell material, Pertex Quantum. Though superlight and surprisingly durable for its weight the material offers virtually no water resistance. Other materials, such as the Pertex Endurance UL offered on the Feathered Friends Merlin, are nearly as light and more water resistant. You cant go wrong with the Plasma 30, other bags perform better and are cheaper.
check out the review on www.outdoorgearlab.com for more details
this is just a horrible review, too comfortable, really? you are a joke
Peter Kaminski
I have to assume this was written by someone who doesn't know much about sleeping bags.
Baffles are intended to PREVENT down shifting. A spot with thinned insulation ANYWHERE in the bag makes the entire construction cooler. In addition to that, the two bags that you mentioned have horizontal baffles. In the case of the baffle closest to your face, as an example, you could move the down closer to your nose, or closer to your sternum, but not down to your feet. Similarly, the baffle near your feet wouldn't accommodate shifting down up, as there is a piece of material there to prevent exactly that.
The difference of water resistance between Pertex Endurance and Quantum is offset by the additional ounces - which seem to me to not 'belong in an ultralight summer bag.'
It pains me to think that you might be paid to write this review - unless maybe you're being paid by Western Mountaineering or Feathered friends.
I typically love outdoorgearlab's review, but I found this one to be uncharacteristically harsh towards Marmot. I have no idea why, though I have my suspicions. It seems like a fantastic bag. I'll take baffles that don't "drain" overnight over continuous baffles anyday.

Matt Mio
okay, a few months down the road now...are you loving this bag or additional thoughts? down-proofness of fabric, down migration in vertical baffles an issue at all?
Simon Hatfield
Still liking the bag, fabric is ridiculously down-proof. There is a little bit of down migration, but the wispy materials are holding up well. I do notice that it really loses loft in humid environments though. The zipper snags a bit too.

This bag is a work of art. The 10D fabric is silky soft on your skin, the hood cinches down to create a nice seal, and the draft collar is stuffed full of luxurious down and adjusts smoothly. The interior fabric is a bright, translucent green and the exterior a svelte, glossy black. The Plasma is neither constrictively narrow, nor is it roomy, striking a nice balance between warmth and spaciousness. The footbox is well constructed, and the full length zipper operates smoothly, providing venting or clean mating with a Helium or Pinnacle. The Plasma comes with an ultralight stuffsack as well as a nice mesh storage bag, with "900 FILL" emblazoned on the bottom in huge, heart-racing numbers. Marmot has cleverly used synthetic insulation in the draft tube to keep it evenly stuffed, and it works quite nicely.
With the stuff sack, the Plasma weighs in at 1lb 8oz on my scale. The EN rating of 32ºF seems accurate, I was cool but comfortable sleeping outside on a 30º night in Joshua Tree NP with a hat, socks, and midweight baselayer.
But is it worth $420?
Depends on who you are I guess. If you absolutely must own the best of everything at all times, this is your bag. Its primo. If you want to get the most for your dollar, however, you can do much better. The Hydrogen, for example, is EN rated 3º warmer, costs $80 less, and only weighs an ounce or two more*. The Hydrogen's warmth rating is achieved without a draft collar and with roomier dimensions, making it far more comfortable. The thicker fabric on the Hydrogen holds in the down better (the Plasma sheds feathers from the seams occasionally) and its horizontal baffles mitigate down shift - a big problem i notice with the Plasma's longer vertical ones.
Overall, the Plasma is a very unique and worthy piece of gear, and I'm glad I bought it, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, nor would I tell you it's worth the money.
*according to my scale
I was previously using an REI sub-kilo 20 degree rated bag. I'm just too big for that bag. Even though the Plasma 30 weights less it's several inches larger at the shoulders and hips. I expected to be warmer just because I fit in the bag better. But, it's warmer anyway, rating or not. I've taken it on three trips. During a night in the mid 30's I didn't bother to zip the bag all the way up and was comfortable. The cover feels delicate, but didn't suffer any snags with my dogs crawling all over it. I'm totally satisfied.
