since my digital painting sucks, I'm going to start the digital stuff with something simple.

good start here, good idea to start with simple stuff if you want to learn digis, check out the turorial section theres pretty good exercice with sphere rendering and stuff about color/// Those envrionement thumbnail sketches could tell a lot more if you add some simple tones to give the impression of depth to the images... you seem to have a good grasp of gesture for your characters thats pretty good, keep it up

"Your description of value dilution assumes that a company with earnings will sell new shares and then find itself with no profitable use for the new funds. That almost never happens. In the normal case, the new funds will be put to work with the same efficiency as the old capital, earnings will grow and the dividend rights attributable to each share (old and new) will also grow. It only works the way you described if the new funds are wasted on something that never generates additional income.
The ONLY time percentage of ownership means anything is when you have and want to maintain 50% or more ownership of a company. Otherwise it's a meaningless concept that folks like the bashers trot out to engender fear.
Existing stockholders almost always win when a company brings in equity at a reasonable price. The only cases I can think of where existing stockholders lost out to new financing are the bank bailouts where management drove the banks into the dirt with bad decisions and there wasn't much left for the old stockholders once the necessary recapitalization was done.
There isn't a chance that will happen in Axion's case."
Another example of liar in chief Johnny saying "There isn't a chance that (dilution) will happen in Axion's case."
He once again ignores the common concept of shareholder dilution, which nearly every developmental stage company goes through. Axion themselves actually disclose the risk of dilutive financing in their own SEC filings.
Johnny utilizes some classic sleazy lawyer speak to make his case by falsely steering his argument to one of purely earnings dilution, yet we are speaking of a company with no earnings, so this is a ludicrous tactic. For independent verification look up "dilutive financing", you will never find Johnny's convoluted twist in the business world. Also read Axion's filings and you will find dilutive financing specifically defined as a risk for this developmental stage company.
The only option for non-dilutive financing would be a bond issuance which is unlikely for this OTC stock.
Pretty significant that an experienced reverse merger lawyer pretends not to understand dilutive financing when speaking of his own personal stock holdings.
Classic spin
Way to play dumb, plausible deniability
Johnny and his butt pal Tierney have an agenda a mile long.
Sentiment: Strong Sell

Think tank director Douglas Murray was due to speak to Jewish students at Cambridge University last night, a fortnight after an Islamic group convinced the Union of Jewish Students to drop him from a panel debate.
Mr Murray was expected to discuss ways to improve Jewish students' responses to hate-speakers on campus.
But on the same night, the university's Palestine Society was set to host a panel expected to include inflammatory speakers Azzam Tamimi and Daud Abdullah as part of an Israeli Apartheid Week event.
Anti-Israel demonstrations took place outside the Scottish Parliament for three days this week as an exhibition promoting the Jewish state's technological achievements prompted mass opposition.
The small exhibit, Israel's contribution to medicine, science and technology, was organised by the Scottish Friends of Israel group and sponsored by MSP Ken MacIntosh.
It opened on Tuesday at Holyrood. Protesters from the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Scottish Friends of Palestine groups gathered outside the parliament building.
A groundbreaking Second World War website launched to counter Holocaust denial will be launched next week.
The site is the brainchild of the historian and documentary filmmaker Laurence Rees, former creative director of BBC Television History.
Mr Rees has also written seven history books about different aspects of the war, including one to accompany his acclaimed television series Auschwitz: The Nazis and the Final Solution.
Since that book and programme appeared, Mr Rees says he had been "plagued by Holocaust deniers".
Inside Luton's indoor market, between a party shop and a drycleaners, is an office with dusted windows trimmed in a purple border.
Seated at an antique desk, next to a white sofa with plumped cushions, a tray of biscuits and a huge bunch of roses in a crystal vase, is Luton's most glamorous parliamentary candidate, Esther Rantzen.
The former host of That's Life! and founder of ChildLine is standing as an independent parliamentary candidate for Luton South.
William Hague is in no doubt about the most urgent issue to face him if he finds himself in the Foreign Office next month.
"It's the Iranian nuclear programme," he says. "We have consistently been the party arguing for tough sanctions and a strong European approach over the last few years, and are very frustrated that this hasn't emerged strongly enough."
It will be something of a political earthquake if Labour's David Lammy is unseated in Tottenham.
He holds a majority of 13,034 and his nearest rivals are the Liberal Democrats, who at the last election pushed the Tories into third.
Despite the slim chance of an upset, both Labour and the Tories are going out of their way to court the Charedi community in south Tottenham.
Mr Lammy has been pictured in the Orthodox paper Hamodia enjoying Chanukah and the local paper has carried pictures of him on a walkabout with Charedi leaders.
Manchester Jewry's most affluent community sits on the edge of the only Tory seat in Greater Manchester, Altrincham and Sale West.
It is home to Bowdon, Hale and Sale, some of Manchester's wealthiest suburbs, each with its own synagogue. It has the largest Jewish community outside north Manchester, although it makes up only two per cent of the area's population.
Nevertheless, incumbent MP Graham Brady is chasing the Jewish vote, noting the "vibrant" community is "integrated into every walk of life, whether business, education, public service or voluntary organisations."
Police are investigating after a Jewish parliamentary candidate claimed he had received a death threat.
Leaflets have also been distributed branding Lee Scott an "enemy of Muslims".
Mr Scott, Conservative MP for Ilford North since 2005, says he was approached by two Asian youths while campaigning last week. They allegedly told him they would kill him.
Leaflets handed out in the constituency claim Mr Scott "works tirelessly in Parliament against Muslims" and list his roles as a member of the Zionist Federation and Conservative Friends of Israel as examples.
Members of central Orthodox synagogues are far more likely to vote Conservative than those in Reform synagogues, according to research on the political attitudes of British Jews collected early this year.
Almost half - 48 per cent - who belonged to bodies such as the United Synagogue said they supported the Tories, with 22 per cent pro-Labour; in contrast, 34 per cent of Reform members preferred Labour, with 28 per cent in favour of the Conservatives.
For the first time the BNP have a parliamentary candidate standing for Bury South, home to two significantly Jewish areas.
This week, election leaflets for Jean Purdy, a former Conservative activist and senior NHS nurse, landed on doormats in Whitefield and Prestwich setting out three objectives: to stop immigration, pull out troops in Afghanistan and to raise the weekly pension.
A Conservative spokesperson sought to distance the party from Ms Purdy, saying: "We disown any association with her. Their values are not ours."

Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat Game 5 Pick
- Updated: June 5, 2012
NBA Picks
Date/Time: Tuesday, June 5 8:30 p.m.
Television: ESPN
NBA Betting Odds from VietBet
ATS: Heat -8
Total: 179.5
NBA Betting Game Trends
Boston Celtics
- The total has gone OVER in 6 of Boston's last 9 games
- Boston is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games on the road
- The total has gone OVER in 7 of Boston's last 10 games when playing Miami
- Boston is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games when playing Miami
- The total has gone OVER in 6 of Boston's last 7 games when playing on the road against Miami
Miami Heat
- Miami is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games
- The total has gone OVER in 6 of Miami's last 7 games
- Miami is 8-1 SU in its last 9 games at home
- Miami is 9-3-1 ATS in its last 13 games at home
- The total has gone UNDER in 18 of Miami's last 25 games at home
- The total has gone OVER in 7 of Miami's last 10 games when playing Boston
The Boston Celtics made-up for a heart-breaking 115-111 overtime loss in Game 2 of this series as 7.5-point road underdogs with a 101-91 rout in Game 3 as 2.5-point home favorites and a thrilling 93-92 victory in overtime as two point home underdogs on Sunday night to even things up at two games apiece. The total went 'over' in all three games after staying 'under' the 178.5-point line in Game 1.
The trick for Boston is to now take all of this momentum from this past weekend on the road to win what is shaping-up as a crucial Game 5 this Tuesday night. The problem is the Celtics are just 1-4 straight-up (3-2 against the spread) in their last four trips to Miami. They will need a huge night from their entire big four (Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Rajon Rondo) to counteract the Heat playing at home.
Miami was painfully close to winning Sunday's game but Dwyane Wade's three-point attempt at the end of the first overtime bounced off the rim. This shot was indicative of his entire night as he went just 7-for-22 from the field and 2-for-6 from three-point range. LeBron James pumped-in 29 points after scoring a game-high 34 in Game 3, but just like Boston, the Heat need both of these All-Stars playing at a high level in order to win games.
The great news for Miami is the possible return of Chris Bosh to the lineup after going down early in the Indiana series with a strained abdomen. If he is ready to go, it could be just what the doctored ordered for a team that has battled with consistency the entire postseason and especially when he was not in the game. The Heat went 5-4 SU and 4-5 ATS in the nine games that Bosh has been sidelined.
The anticipated return of Bosh and the much needed return home is a powerful enough combination to carry Miami to the win on Tuesday night. Stick with Boston to cover with the eight points as it will still be able to keep this a one or two possession game to the bitter end. Miami 92 Boston 88

It's a whole new world for the sharing economy, as the Philippines issued new regulations for ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft, last week. Though other countries have taken action on ridesharing services -- Uber has been banned everywhere from Eugene, Oregon, to all of Thailand -- the Philippines is the first nation to develop ridesharing specific regulations, according to Reuters.
In an industry that has often operated by bumping up against the margins of the law, the new regulations could help further institutionalize the sharing economy. If successful, they may be a model adopted by other jurisdictions looking to regulate such services.

Why visit city hall if you do not have to? We go to tax our over priced taxes. Or go to the planning and zoning department and even the probate court. All the people are helpful. But I would never go unless I have to go! ANd whenever I do have to go, I end up writing a check!
The city does a great job keeping City hall in great shape. Parking sometimes is a little crazy. I love watching the Baseball teams play right at City Hall Field
It is a Hostile enviorement everyone looks at you with discerning Eyes , ask a question they are rude

We really enjoyed this halibut and recommend it highly. We marinated 1 1/2 hours.
nice simple marinade, gave great flavor to my halibut. We marinaded the fish for an hour & it seemed perfect. I'll definately use this again for all sorts of white fish.
This is a very good, light marinade. I used it for broiled grouper.

The global currency wars are heating up again as central banks embark on a new round of easing to combat a slowdown in growth.
The yen rose, snapping a two-day decline against the dollar and the euro, as concern over the pace of the U.S. recovery and the financial health of European banks boosted demand for Japan's currency as a refuge.
The pound weakened from near a two- year high versus the dollar after an industry report showed U.K. service growth slowed more in November than economists forecast.
"It's far from clear what the outcome will be, and hanging on this election is a referendum on EU membership."

The basement traditionally has more wasted space than any other room in the home. Most families end up filling it with things they no longer use, like bicycle tires and winter coats, causing the basement to become a cluttered mess.
Creating an organized storage system in your basement will allow you to not only save space, but also be able to easily find items you keep there. Here's how.
Throw Out the Junk
One of the first things you'll want to do is to dispose anything unused, broken, or forgotten about. Old boxes and broken furniture can be thrown away to create more space in the basement. Old clothes, toys and nicknacks can be bagged up and given to a thrift store or to the Salvation Army. Once you've gotten rid of the clutter, it's time to organize the items you'll continue to store in the basement.
Install Shelving or Storage
In order to keep things organized, it's important to have some type of shelving or storage system in the basement. Home improvement stores have metal shelving systems that can be ideal for the basement. Food storage, holiday decor and memorable items can be kept on the shelves or in plastic containers with proper labeling.
Purchase a label maker to have easy-to-read labels on each container, shelf and drawer. This will allow you to easily categorize your items and know where they go if more items should end up in the basement.
Have Moisture Control
It's also important to make sure your basement has the necessary preventative maintenance to keep moisture under control. Without moisture control, the items you store in your basement will likely be damaged in the long run. Extra insulation is a great idea in the basement and a good way of keeping things safe once you've worked hard to organize them.

Moving Proz 785-915-9761
Visit website Lawrence, KS 66044
- Phone: 785-915-9761
This business appears in: Real Estate, Moving and Relocation
ENOFEL Moving Proz
Moving Proz is a terrible company to work with. The people they sent out to my house were polite and courteous, but inexperienced. They destroyed a very nice desk, damaged a dresser beyond repair, and scratched and dinged up my washing machine. To make matters worse, they refused to return my calls, voice mails, or emails. Once I finally got in touch with somebody, they were rude and condescending, and offered me an insultingly low amount of money as compensation.
Do not use Moving Proz if you value your furniture.

Moving proz is amazing and very affordable I wouldn't have made it without them they made my move fast and easy I didn't have to lift a finger they even packed it for me! The movers were kind and time effiient thank you moving proz!

Ghostwriter and Author Ryan Eidson Offers Tips on How to Succeed by Becoming Authors
MACON, Mo., May 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ In a typical day, most independent business professionals (such as coaches, consultants, speakers, and entrepreneurs) are looking to grow their businesses with advertising or social media. They're often frustrated at the low quality of leads that land on their desks, or have a pressing desire to stand out in their respective industries as an expert.
According to business book ghostwriter Ryan Eidson, the quickest way to get cited as an expert is to publish your own book. "A book serves as your ultimate business card," says Eidson. "You can give away copies of your book to colleagues and prospects. Most business cards get thrown away, but your book will sit on their desks, and they will actually see what you have to say."
Eidson says that the publishing game has changed. It's no longer about making money on the book itself, but on the back-end services that you offer to your readers at the back of your book. In addition, the book should not be one long sales pitch. Instead, use your book to demonstrate your style, show you readers that you have a deep understanding of your subject matter, and include several calls to action inside your book.
Independent professionals can easily publish a book in paperback and digital formats on Amazon, today's largest marketplace. With Amazon's large customer database, prospects for small businesses are already going to Amazon searching for things to buy. When Amazon's customers purchase books that they like, and want to get in touch with the author, they look to the back of the book to find a website or phone number for more information.
For experts who would rather talk than write, Eidson says to record audio files with you talking through your material. Then send your recordings to other professionals to transcribe, edit, and create a book out of your intellectual property. There are many well-known business authors who just spoke their book; they never had to "write" a chapter with pen and paper.

IIF's Doomsday Memorandum Revealed: Disorderly Greek Default To Cost Over €1 TrillionSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/05/2012 10:17 -0400

While everyone was busy ruminating on how little impact a Greek default would have on the global economy, the IIF - the syndicate of banks dedicated to the perpetuation of the status quo - was busy doing precisely the opposite. In a Confidential Staff Note that was making the rounds in the past 2 weeks titled "Implications of a Disorderly Greek Default and Euro Exit" the IIF was doing its best Hank Paulson imitation in an attempt to scare the Bejeezus out of potential hold outs everywhere, by "quantifying" the impact form a Greek failure. The end result: "It is difficult to add all these contingent liabilities up with any degree of precision, although it is hard to see how they would not exceed €1 trillion." In other words, hold out at your own peril. Of course, what the IIF does not understand, is that for hedge funds it is precisely this kind of systemic nuisance value that makes holding out that much more valuable, as they understand all too well that they have all the cards on the table. And while a Greek default could be delayed even if full PSI was not attained by Thursday, it would simply make paying off the holdouts the cheapest cost strategy for the IIF, for Europe and for the world's banks. Unless of course, the IIF is bluffing, in which case the memorandum is not worth its weight in 2020 US Treasurys.

Daily US Opening News And Market Re-Cap: March 5Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/05/2012 09:05 -0400
European equity indices are exhibiting signs of risk averse behaviour, with financials and basic materials performing particularly poorly. This follows weekend reports from ECB sources that the central bank does not believe voluntary participation in the Greek debt swap deal will be sufficient, and the CACs will have to be invoked. Markets are also reacting to the weekend press from Germany, claiming the Troika believe Greece will require a third bailout of around EUR 50bln by 2020, however these reports were denied by a German spokesman earlier in the session. European Services PMI data released earlier in the session fell below expectations, compounding the already cautious market behaviour. European Banks have parked a fresh record EUR 820bln with the ECB overnight, showing further evidence that the LTRO has loosened liquidity constrictions in the continent. Commodities are making losses ahead of the North American open following overnight news that China have made a downward revision to their GDP target for 2012. Spot gold is trading down around 0.9% and WTI and Brent crude futures have been making a loss for most of the session so far, however oil has made positive movements in recent trade. These negative movements in commodities are also weighing down upon the commodity-linked currencies, with AUD particularly making losses on the session.

Guest Post: Guess Who Folded NowSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/27/2012 18:54 -0400
Banking privacy is dead. Completely, totally dead. Murdered, really. The US government is the assailant, and FATCA is the murder weapon. We've talked about this a few times before– FATCA is the heinously insidiously piece of legislation that the Honorable Barrack Hussein Obama passed into law in 2010 as part of the "Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act". There were no hiring incentives, and there was no restoration of employment. But any vestiges of banking privacy were destroyed. In brief, FATCA has two key concepts. First, it requires an additional (and completely unnecessary) layer of reporting from all US taxpayers who have 'foreign financial accounts' at 'foreign financial institutions.' Though as we have discussed before, both of these critical terms are ridiculously and flagrantly ambiguous, putting the onus entirely on the taxpayer. The second key issue is that FATCA puts a burden on ALL foreign financial institutions worldwide to enter into an information-sharing agreement with the IRS; this essentially obliges every bank on the planet to submit reports and customers' private data to the IRS. Such provisions are absolutely, 100% impossible. And it's becoming clear that FATCA was passed with no intention of being enforceable. It's inconceivable that every institution on the planet could enter into an agreement. And it's inconceivable that every institution on the planet could possibly know whether every other institution has entered into the agreement. The only thing FATCA has accomplished is scaring the living daylights out of non-US banks. So much so that foreign banks have approached their governments to ask for help.

Crude Oil vs. Iran: Who Blinks First?Submitted by EconMatters on 02/22/2012 08:49 -0400
Crude oil spiked to nine-month high primarily on investors fear of potential conflict over the escalating tensions between the US, Europe, Israel, and Iran. Right now, it seems Iran could be the one blinks first (war or peace).

PetroPlus, Largest European Refiner By Capacity, Files BankruptcySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/24/2012 08:07 -0400
Back on December 30, we noted that a little known name in the US, but very well known in Europe, PetroPlus is having significant solvency issues as banks froze a $1 billion revolver. Less than a month later the situation has proceeded to the next evolutionary step, as Europe's largest refiner by capacity has announced it will file for bankruptcy protection. And while operations should not be impacted, the fact that this comes just as Europe imposes an oil embargo on Iran, virtually guarantees that the continent's gasoline prices, already among the highest in the world are likely to set off even higher, paradoxically even as end-market demand is at lows. The bankruptcy will also guarantee that European initial jobless claims will plunge, especially if the BLS opens a Brussels office and applies its own very unique brand of "logic" to Europe.

Yesterday, Reuters' blogger Felix Salmon in a well-written if somewhat verbose essay, makes the argument that "Greece has the upper hand" in its ongoing negotiations with the ad hoc and official group of creditors. It would be a great analysis if it wasn't for one minor detail. It is wrong. And while that in itself is hardly newsworthy, the fact that, as usual, its conclusion is built upon others' primary research and analysis, including that of the Wall Street Journal, merely reinforces the fact that there is little understanding in the mainstream media of what is actually going on behind the scenes in the Greek negotiations, and thus a comprehension of how prepack (for now) bankruptcy processes operate. Furthermore, since the Greek "case study" will have dramatic implications for not only other instances of sovereign default, many of which are already lining up especially in Europe, but for the sovereign bond market in general, this may be a good time to explain why not only does Greece not have the upper hand, but why an adverse outcome from the 11th hour discussions between the IIF, the ad hoc creditors, Greece, and the Troika, would have monumental consequences for the entire bond market in general.

UBS Explains Why AAA-Loss Is Actually RelevantSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/17/2012 10:38 -0400
As the buy-the-ratings-downgrade-news surge on European sovereigns stalls (following a few weeks of sell-the-rumor on France for example), the ever-ready-to-comment mainstream media remains convinced that the impact is priced in and that ratings agencies are increasingly irrelevant. UBS disagrees. In a note today from their global macro team, they recognize that while the downgrades were hardly a surprise to anyone (with size of downgrade the only real unknown), the effect on 'AAA-only' constrained portfolios is important (no matter how hard politicians try to change the rules) but of more concern is the political impact as the divergence between France's rating (and outlook) and Germany (and UK perhaps) highlights harsh economic realities and increases (as EFSF spreads widen further) the bargaining power of Germany in the economic councils of Europe. Furthermore, the potential for closer relationships with the UK (still AAA-rated) increase as the number of AAA EU nations within the Euro only just trumps the number outside of the single currency. This may be one of those rare occasions where politics is more important than economics.

Secret Iran Gold Holdings Leaked: Tehran Holds Same Amount Of Gold As United Kingdom, And Is Buying MoreSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/20/2011 20:41 -0400
While it will not come as a major surprise to most, according to senior BOE individuals and Wikileaks, Iran, as well as Qatar and Jordan have been actively purchasing gold well over the amount reported to and by the IMF, in an accelerated attempt to diversify their holdings away from the US dollar. "Iran has bought large amounts of gold in the international market, according to a senior Bank of England official, in a sign of how growing political pressure has driven Tehran to reduce its exposure to the US dollar. Andrew Bailey, head of banking at the Bank of England, told an American official that the central bank had observed "significant moves by Iran to purchase gold", according to a US diplomatic cable obtained by WikiLeaks and seen by the Financial Times." The reason for Tehran's scramble into gold: "an attempt by Iran to protect its reserves from risk of seizure". The misrepresentation of Iran's holdings could be so vast that Iran could possibly be one of the largest holders of goldin the world. "Market observers believe Tehran has been one of the biggest buyers of bullion over the past decade after China, Russia and India, and is among the 20 largest holders of gold reserves... with an alleged 300 tons, big enough to challenge the UK at 310 tons, and more than Spain! " As a reminder according to the WGC, Iran is not even disclosed as an official holder of gold. Also, Iran is not the only one: "Cables obtained by WikiLeaks cite Jordan's prime minister as saying the central bank was "instructed to increase its holdings" of gold, and a Qatar Investment Authority official as saying the QIA was interested in buying gold and silver." Which means that there is far more marginal demand by countries supposedly friendly to the dollar, as many more than previously expected are actively dumping linen and buying bullion. What all this means for the future price of gold, especially with geopolitical tension in the region, and QE3 imminent, is rather self-evident.

Moody's Absolutely Does Not Fail to Issue Timely Non-Downgrade Downgrade on United States and United Kingdom DebtSubmitted by Marla Singer on 12/08/2009 05:22 -0400
The passage of time, in addition to being subject to dilation through the effects of e.g., relative velocity, also suffers numerous perceptual contortions depending on the observer's particular state of mind. For the purposes of day to day affairs, most humans not at relative velocities to their immediate surroundings that reach a significant fraction of the speed of light, would find these subjective changes normally accounting for the largest perceived deltas in the passage of time ("a watched pot never boils, etc.") Of course, as with most of the laws of nature, the regina scientiarum and, if you believe their analysts, even the laws of thermodynamics, when it comes to the ratings agencies, all bets are off and mere humans unable to shift their perceptions into rates more in line with geologic observations will be doomed to frustration and folly. So it is this morning with Moody's, which has, ever so subtly, maybe warned of what might someday develop into conditions that, in exactly the right environment, could potentially result in a downgrade for the Aaa rated United States and the United Kingdom... maybe sometime around 2013 or so, maybe. (Proving once and for all that Moody's finally fired analysts John Cusack and Amanda Peet).

(I got this in Trooper, the black one)
Well, I'll give you the summary: not pigmented, not long wearing, and therefore totally overpriced, and it will go back to Sephora.
Now, let me go into depth: I am quite surprised, as I heard that this eyeliner is very similar to Stila's, which I really enjoy and have bought multiple times. What is different, at first glance, is the applicator. This one has a brush applicator, something I was looking for. However, the ink itself is lacking in pigmentation, and when I go over the line I've made, it actually removes the product, making my line patchy and streaky. This is curious, as it swatches nicely on my hand.
I also stored it upside down, incase the ink is stuck in the pen somehow. That changed nothing, however, and I finished my cat-eye with my old, dried up Stila pen. It did better.
This pen is over $20, and honestly, Stila, Sephora, and NYC liquid eyeliners are better than this. I don't understand why it didn't perform well, as you'd think Kat Von D would have very dark eyeliners to offer, but it is what it is. I got a NYC eyeliner for $4 instead and will be returning this. Really too bad.

I saw all the amazing reviews about this product so i purchased it at Sephora. It was amazing the first few times i wore it and after 2 weeks it became try and would pick up any residue on my eyes. Even when i had primer on it was streaky, and i kept trying to go over it but the formula wouldnt let me go over it again. I find myself having to constantly wipe the brush to use it. So i exchanged it at sephora for another one and after a month it started to do the same exact thing.. it stays on but the application is difficult and having oily lids it starts to wear off after about 2 hours. Its not worth the 20$ i spent on this..id rather buy one at the drugstore for 10$

Obsessed. HG liquid liner. Stays on all day and is basically waterproof. When I was vacationing, I was able to swim in the ocean and the liner stayed intact. Also pretty easy to apply, and you don't need to layer it.
One of the users below said they might've gotten a bad batch - I believe they did. When I ordered from Sephora.com, the one I got in the mail was awful. However, I exchanged it for another one in-store and it performed like the Kat Von D Liner I love. So just give it a try! Worth the money.

I have repurchased this before and I will repurchase it again. This is the best black liquid eyeliner that I have used to date. Waterproof, amazing staying power, black, sleek and beautiful packaging... I have so many good things to say. Buy it!

I have been on a misson to find a liner-brush-in-one combo. I purchased the Sephora box of eyeliners so I could bang out a few that I wanted to try in one go. Out of all that I sampled, this one is the best by far and I will purchase a full size when the time comes.
The brush makes it super easy to draw on a straight line. You don't need to apply a lot of pressure to make the line opaque either. This liner LASTS. It lasts through a night out, through a workout, even through a night of sleep (oops) I wish they made it in more colors. Right now, black is the only option.

I just HAD to write a review for this amazing eyeliner. I have been seeking out the perfect liner for DECADES and had yet to run into one that actually had staying power. In this product, I have FOUND my holy grail! I put this on in the morning, thin or thick depending on my mood, go through my day and it is still perfect when I remove it before bed.
To show its staying power, I have drawn a line on my hand before Zumba. I will demonstrate how it will not smudge almost immediately. Then we work ourselves up into some funky and sweaty messes. My eyes still look fabulous and the lines I drew on my hand are still there...intact. Not enough can be said about this eyeliner and its staying power.
This product does have a small learning curve. You need to shake up the pen before use. Then the fine tipped brush needs to be primed by pumping it into the cap. The brush allows you to draw a fine line, apply a little pressure for a thicker line or just build up. It does NOT smudge..For best use, store with the tip pointed down.
Yes, it sounds like some effort is needed. However, given the fact that this is the Mecca of eyeliners and will not let you down, it is definitely worth it.

I've blown through three of these bad boys now. Its ingredient list is identical to both Stila's Stay All Day and Kat Von D's Ink liner, but somehow, this product trumps both.
The pen with microbrush packaging is nothing short of genius. Any look your little heart desires, from an elegant Audrey Hepburn kitten wing line to a bold Joan Jett eye is at your fingertips with this brilliant little pen. Remember to shake it before use and you'll have a perfect, crisp line every time. Liner is super ink-black and neither matte or shiny, so summarily perfect in that regard. The pen doesn't dissolve or fray like so many others(I'm looking at you, Lancome, Urban Decay, Stila, etc).
The only cons are that it isn't truly waterproof. Tear a little and expect the product to flake a bit. It doesn't smudge much, but it sure wears away easily if you're not careful. Apply over some primer and you're good to go, even if you chance a quick cat nap.
I'll still keep looking for "the one", but Tattoo Liner comes pretty damn close.

An amazing liquid eyeliner for achieving the perfect winged liner. The precision you get with the stiff paintbrush applicator is hard to beat (I struggle mightily with applying liquid liner, but this is one of the bests). Does not smudge and lasts all day long. The price is very reasonable compared to other high end liquid liners, in my opinion.

KVD knows her eyeliners.
I am very picky when it comes to eyeliners due to my oily eyelids, but this one is great.
There are 2 different pen eyeliners, one is felt tip and this one is an actual brush.
I was a little hesitant to buy this because pen eyeliners dry up quickly every time I get one.
But this one is very pigmented, and has a smooth consistency that does not dry completely matte or shiny. It's just right.
I have been doing winged eyeliner since I was 13, and this is the most precise eyeliner brush I have ever used.
I can get the most crisp, sharp point and finish with this.
I recommend shaking this before application or the formula will look all watered down.
I recommend her eyeliners so much, they are 18$ which isn't cheap, but I love them so much.

This is my all time favorite eyeliner. The applicator has a fine tip but is easy to use making for easy winged eyeliner as well as getting a line close to the lash. It is very black and stays on your face all day no matter what. It took 6 months of nearly daily use for this product to dry up on me so I could recommend it more.

A sometimes stinging Venice Biennale
Venice, Italy — Every two years, this ancient and liquidy city is deluged by the art world, making it seem more unreal than it already is. Curators, collectors, critics and artists cram onto the Venetian islands for a three-day preview of what is effectively the Olympics of art, the Venice Biennale.
Attired like something out of "The Talented Mr. Ripley" – tailored and European and with all of the ingratiating and insinuating implied by that reference – many of the well-heeled dash like 8-year-olds sprinting for Space Mountain when the gates open each day. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

At its core, email is about a conversation between us and our customer – we've always heard their voices in our campaign metrics (did they open?, did they click?, did they buy?). Today, our business is riding a wave of new approaches and new information (did they like? who did they friend? how long did they linger on that page? Were they standing in the coffee line when they looked at my message?) that is amplifying the customers voice almost to the point where we can't hear it anymore!

In a world where consumers leave an exhaust trail of data behind every move, marketers must learn to leverage data in order to optimize and systematically improve campaigns. Having the email trigger set up and deploying the content is not enough. Every email your company sends out must be the most mobile-friendly, customer-focused email you can produce. The days of "set it and forget it" are long gone, one must constantly and relentlessly be testing a strategy. In this presentation, Richard Cohene will reveal Beyond the Rack's approach to data.

Despite the exterior's larger scale the interior of the cathedral is small and intimate. Really lovely.
It's worth a look if you are passing by, but it's nothing special so don't go out of your way to see it.
I have visited Catholic cathedrals in many different countries and this one has to be the most unadorned cathedral I have ever seen. This is not a criticism, just a fact. A short visit of 10 minutes will be enough.
I'm fascinated by the devotion to churches and cathedrals in Mexico. Their devotion to living a blessed life is beautiful. The detail in all Mexican churches shows their love so I can never say enough good about visiting any Cathedral in Mexico
Beautiful old cathedral, not big if compared to older European cathedrals, but it must have been enormous for the population that the peninsula used to have.
Great place to visit, bells still ring on the hour, and it's only 2 blocks from the beach and touristy area.
Bonus, to the left, as you face the cathedral, go one block and...
The Cathedral in Central La Paz is a step back to the Old Mexico. Church bells ringing and the structure do reminiscent of hundreds of years ago. A must see for everyone
Thank you for the opportunity pray to you, to sing to you in Spanish. Thank you for a safe and enjoyable time with friends.
Very nice old cathedral...cornerstone laid in 1861. Went thru in the morning and happened to come by in the afternoon while a wedding was taking place...charming!
Not impress of the upkeep and not so historical there's nothing to be surprise like a wow factor.... Very simple less parking and less touristy not unlike the cathedrals in Austria, or European countries.
this is a fine old church... and a good place to meditate and get away from the pounding sounds of the city.... as i fallen catholic i found some peace and quiet without too much guilt just sitting in the church ...
