now 15th, just behind "resurrected dinosaurs" and "rollerball"
Ok, so here's the first of what I hope will be 4 wallpapers for BEAT OHIO week. This one focuses on #21 and The Game. It's so cool to see Roy stepping up at the right time to do the number justice. Now all he has to do to complete his transformation is to BEAT OHIO as #21 and enter Michigan lore. Go Blue, BEAT OHIO! Enjoy!

[Alan] doesn't have to kick to get around town because he added a removable electric motor to his longboard. It looks great, and works just as well because he didn't reinvent the wheel.
Here's how you can have a hands-free, no worries about the battery, Android experience while you drive. [Steve] removed the head unit from his car and replaced it with a Samsung Galaxy SIII Android phone.
[Juan] dropped us a note to let us know about a little project he's working on. A few years ago, he bought a Honda S2000. It served him well, but now he's converting it to electric power, and it's going to be a beast.
[Mike Holden] has been on the hunt for a display that is easy to read in bright sunlight. He wants to use it to read out navigational data on his sail boat.
Next time you're taking a vacation anywhere that resembles the planet Hoth, you might want to take the time to build a snow speeder sled before you go.
[Kaj] wanted to help out an aging family member by building them an electric tricycle�during international Hack Day back on August 11th. He mixed in some reused parts with some new ones and ended up with bike that lets the rider troll other cyclists.
[Tim] drives a 1995 Mitsubishi TS Magna, which is equipped with a less than stellar accessory package he lovingly calls a poverty pack.
The LA Times posted a story about a company called Aerofex that built a real-life hover bike�very�reminiscent�of the vehicles embedded in the redwoods of the forest moon of Endor.

Art X Reader
Chapter 1: Targeted Name
You let out a small pout when you heard a knock disrupt you from eating your delicious slice of cake. You place down the plate on the table, walking to answer your door. You blink at two unrecognizable pair, noting their slightly formal attire.
"Hello?" You wondered if they went to the wrong apartment.
"Hello, we apologize for disturbing you, __(l/n)-san, but we're from the Yokohama Police Department." The shorter male with lilac hair reveals his police badge as well as his partner. "May we come in?"
"Oh, umm, sure. Please do." You stepped to the side and welcomed them into your home. You quickly went to kitchen and prepared beverages and snacks for your guests. You placed the tray on the table in the living room before settling down on the couch. The boys occupied the chair on both sides of the couch, thanking you for the food.
"Is everything all right? Did something happen?" Panic flashes in your __(e/c) orbs as you think of the worst scenario possible. "Is my family okay?"
"__(l/n)-san, your family is safe. It's actually you that we have to be concerned about." You hear the older male reply.
"Yes. As we stated before, we're from the Yokohama Police Department. My name is Art and this is my partner Gasuke. Have you heard about the recent murder cases around the city?"
"Briefly. I haven't had much time to look into it."
"There has been three bodies found from different areas of Yokohama. While trying to find a connection, we noted that all victims were female, but ranged variously in age. According to the victims' family and friends, none of them knew one another. Their backgrounds had no significant ties with any of them as well. After the third death, there was another link that we overlooked. We didn't consider it much in the beginning, but after further research, we believe we have a clue to preventing the murderer's next move."
"What's the clue then?" You weren't understanding how you were involved.
"They all shared the same name." Gasuke answers. "They were named __(full name). Your name isn't uncommon so that's why we didn't think much of it. But when we looked up the list of all registered persons living in Yokohama with your name, you were the last one. We think someone is trying to come after you."
"M-me? But...I didn't do anything! All I do is spend time with my family and friends and work! Sometimes I'll go to the mall or go on vacations. But I don't remember doing anything terrible to someone."
"We believe you, __(l/n)-san, we have checked your records and everything is clean. Do you perhaps remember someone ever saying anything to you? Or did you happen to see something? How about an ex boyfriend or boyfriend who you had an argument with?"
"No, none of that! Like I said, my life isn't that interesting for someone to want to go after. I'm pretty much boring! Sometimes I feel like I have no social life! I don't even have a boyfriend! Why would someone want to come after me?" You were fidgeting in your seat, hands on your mouth while trying to figure out why anyone would want to kill you.
"It's all right, __(l/n)-san, we promise nothing will happen to you." Art moves from his seat to beside you, placing a hand on your shoulder to soothe you.
"We'll assign a bodyguard to you at all times until the felon is caught. Will you accept?"
"Of course. So, when is my bodyguard going to be here? And who will it be?"
"If you can come to the station with us now, we'll introduce you to him along with the rest of the team who is working on this case."
You agreed easily, trailing behind the duo to the parking lot. Before you reached the white car, your surroundings became blurry and your feet were no longer bearing any weight. You glance down at your waist to find a thick, string-like material coiled around you. Tilting your head up to follow the string, your eyes widened at a man crawling up the side of your apartment building.
He had large spider legs protruding from his spine, the long fibers originating from his palms. He reels you closer to him and you attempt to break free from his binds.
"Perfect match!" He exclaims, holding up a picture after studying your face.
"__(l/n)-san!" Art removes his gun from its holder, aiming at the human spider. He hesitates at firing, seeing how you were also at risk of being hurt.
"Let me go!" You growled, slamming your head against his nose.
"Argh! Stupid woman!" He releases the picture, holding onto his aching face. His eyes catch three more people below, frowning at the increase of his enemies.
"There he is!" You hear a young girl say and watch her point in your direction. "My hamburger."
"Hajime-chan, wait!"
The short female stands below you before bending her knees slightly and jumping at high speed. Yours and your kidnapper's eyes widen at how quickly she was flying to you, her fist suddenly colliding with his jaw. While the pain was registering throughout his body, the strands from his palms become disconnected.
Before Art runs to where you would land, the boy with bandages on his cheeks and nose disappears from his spot. He materializes behind you, grabbing you tightly before vanishing from your falling location.
"Oi! Hajime-chan! That was dangerous!" You hear him slightly scold at the red eyed girl and you opened your eyes to find you are now standing in front of the two Yokohama police partners.
"Are you all right, __(l/n)-san?" Art attempts to free you from your webbed constraints.
"Surprisingly, yes."
"We're sorry for the trouble." A tall man with glasses helps Art tear the thick strands easily.
"Actually, I'm quite grateful for your arrival." says Art. "I was not expecting a Minimum Holder to be involved."
You hear small mumbles and groans coming from behind and you see the small girl dragging your captor by the back of his sleeve. She drops him in front of Art and Gasuke, holding out her palm to them.
"Hajime-chan, you should be apologizing to the pretty girl instead! You almost dropped her."
She turns to you, still exposing her hand and looking up at you with big, red eyes. "Hamburger?"
"You're...hungry?" You laugh sheepishly at her carefree behavior.
"That's not an apology!" Your savior sighs. "Anyway, my name's Nice and the other one is Murasaki. Sorry about Hajime-chan. That guy made her drop her hamburger and she gets quite upset when she can't eat."
"It's fine. You guys did save me so I do owe you."
"That's going to have to wait. We should take you to the station and introduce your bodyguard as well as question this guy." Gasuke interrupts.
"Thanks again for your help. I'll see you later, Nice." Art smiles slightly at the three, leading you to his vehicle. .
You were seated in an office with a few other law enforcers scattered around the room. Art was leaning against a desk, looking through a thin set of papers.
"__(l/n)-san, this is the team that is working on your case. I know I mentioned about assigning one of them to you as a bodyguard, but I've decided to make some changes. I will be your guardian instead."
"What? But you can't be in charge of the case and be the bodyguard. Those are two stressful roles." Gasuke argues for the sake of Art's health. He's seen how the young male is when stressed and didn't want him to unfairly burden himself.
"Now that Minimum Holders are involved, I would feel better if I was by __(l/n)'s side. I have more experience with Minimum Holders than with anyone else in the building. I am not saying that I am above everyone, but I wouldn't want my comrades hurt knowing that I could have prevented it. You all still have other tasks to complete, so don't think you're off the mission."
"At least divide the responsibilities for leading the case." The older man was one of the few that could freely speak with Art in this manner. The others were afraid to offend their Superintendent, even though Art was an approachable person. [1]
"I know that I'm not really part of delegating any tasks, but I agree with Gasuke-san. I would feel better if you didn't overwork yourself. If you become too distracted or end up getting sick because of stress, then who's going to help me?" You voiced your concerns and the rest of the team calmly and quietly agreed with you.
"Art, let me be in charge of this. Just focus on keeping __(l/n)-san safe. Trust in me, partner." He smiles slightly, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"I guess it can't be helped." Art sighs in defeat, but understands from yours and his coworkers' point of view.
"What should I make for dinner today?" you ask yourself, looking through your fridge and cabinets.
"I wonder what Art-kun would like?" You pull out your cell phone from your pocket, searching through your contacts before pressing on Art's name. It has been almost two months since you've gained a bodyguard and there has only been two more incidents of attempted kidnapping.
None of your captors revealed any information, which made it harder to pinpoint their true objective. Everyone was working hard on your case, even Nice offered his assistance and that gesture made you feel a little more safe.
"Hello?" Your bodyguard answers after a series of rings.
"Hi, Art. What do you want for dinner?"
"Dinner? Oh, that's all right, __(l/n)-san, please don't trouble yourself. I'll get something when Gasuke takes over for my break." Art and the others would alternate guard duties to relieve them from working long hours. It would be impossible for Art to continuously watch you during the entire mission.
"C'mon, don't be like that! I would really appreciate it if you come up and have dinner with me or are you trying to say that my cooking sucks?"
"No, of course not, __(l/n)-san. It's just that I'm on duty an-"
"It's not like you're abandoning your responsibilities. You're going to be in the same room as me anyway. Besides, you're starting to look like a stalker."
"S-stalker? Why would you think that?" You could hear his embarrassment and confusion.
"I don't think it, it's my neighbors. You're always parked by my apartment and you barely leave that spot so they've been noticing you and warning me to be careful." You see him glance up at you from his car and you give him a teasing smile and a small wave.
"All right, I'm coming up."
"Great! I'll start getting out the--Ahh!!" As soon as you reenter your home, you see a man slip through the thin crack of your front door.
"__(l/n)-san?! Are you okay? __(l/n)-san!" You are unable to respond to Art, your brain trying to decide where to escape. He was currently blocking the exit and you were too high up to jump from your window. His figure returns to its normal size, taking out a picture and comparing you with it.
"Got you." He smirks before sprinting towards you. You moved to the side to evade him, pushing any furniture objects to delay him. His body unnaturally twists and shifts in different directions to avoid and you're beginning to run out of ideas. You can hear Art banging on the door and shouting your name, tampering with the lock.
You run to your only possible exit route but something encases over your wrist. You are roughly pulled further from where Art is, feeling yourself being dragged towards the balcony.
"Stop! What the hell do you want from me!?" You dropped your weight to the floor.
"You'll find out if you come quietly with me!" His fist smacks your cheek harshly, but it wasn't hard enough to lose your consciousness. You glance at a glass cup on the table nearby and you immediately grab it, suddenly ramming it into your captor's face. The shards break against your palm and his head, piercing through your skin. His grip tightens on your wrist as he fights through the pain, but you repeatedly hit his affected area until his fingers weaken around you.
"Art! I'm opening the door!" In mere seconds, you unlock the door and pull it open, allowing the inspector in.
"Get back here!" You hear the flexible male growl and speed towards your back.
"Get down, __(l/n)-san!" You followed Art's instruction and a loud bang makes your body jolt slightly. You stay in your covered position and move only when you feel someone help you to your feet.
"You're hurt." Art frowns, noting the redness on your cheek and blood on your hand.
"I'm fine. It actually doesn't hurt."
"It will later. Let's get you to the hospital."
"But what about the-" Before you could turn your head, Art carefully faces your towards the door, guiding you outside. He didn't want you to see the body.
"Gasuke and the others will take care of it." Art knew you wouldn't react well to the corpse and wanted to avoid adding more fear in you. After calling the rest of the police force, he brings you to the nearest health facility where you could be properly treated.
"You're right, I'm starting to feel the pain now." You pouted while you and Art were waiting for the discharge papers from the doctor.
"The pain medication he gave you should work in a few minutes." He replies, seeing you alternate hands with the ice pack for your cheek to reduce swelling. With your bandaged hand, it was slightly difficult for you to hold the cold bag. He sits closer beside you, taking the small pouch and gently pressing it against the bruising area.
"You're welcome." He smiles slightly, mentally reviewing today's incident. "__(l/n)-san, there's something I need to ask of you."
"Sure, what is it?" You glance at the lilac haired man.
"Let's move in together."
[1] Apparently, Art's the director for the Yokohama Police Department.
[2] I have no idea if that's true or not ^^U

Anonymous Filesharing with Antsp2p
Filesharing is a favorite leisure activity for many Internet users. But conventional filesharing tools have one major drawback – they aren't anonymous. The Antsp2p project aims to change this.
Most popular filesharing tools reveal their users' IP addresses. This means that if you participate in a conventional file-sharing network, others may be able to discover who you are and where you live. This problem has gained new urgency in the wake of recent litigation from the music and movie industries, but for Internet users in some parts of the world, the worry over a lawsuit is minor compared to the very real fear of criminal prosecution. Certain repressive countries keep tight control over the use of the Internet, and anyone who is operating beyond the government censors is at risk of arrest. These tensions within the filesharing community have given rise to a new phenomenon – the anonymous point-to- point (P2P) network. Anonymous filesharing is an important trend in the evolution of the Internet. The Java-based Antsp2p [1] anonymous filesharing client shows how far these anonymity projects have come towards reaching their goals. "Privacy is a fundamental right all over the world and it must be protected," Antsp2p chief developer Gwren said in a recent interview [2]. How does
this promising tool protect the user's privacy? And what does filesharing have to do with ants? Read on for a closer look at filesharing with Antsp2p.

The European Union's ambassador to the United States wrapped up a two-day stop in Oklahoma Wednesday as part of an outreach effort for a proposed free-trade agreement that would cover 800 million Americans and Europeans.
EU ambassador visits Oklahoma to tout proposed free-trade agreement
Ambassador Joao Vale de Almeida said the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership being negotiated could be in place within the next few years. The agreement would eliminate tariffs and harmonize trading standards between the United States and the 28-country European Union.
"We share fundamental values and strategic goals," Vale de Almeida said in a phone interview. "There's no better relationship than the U.S. and the EU. This would be the biggest free-trade area in the world, with 800 million consumers and representing 50 percent of the world's GDP (gross domestic product)."
Oklahoma could see its exports to the EU rise by 20 percent if the trade agreement was approved, Vale de Almeida said. Oklahoma exports totaled $6.58 billion in 2012, with more than 10 percent of those exports going to EU countries, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Negotiators held the third round of talks and policy presentations on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership in December. Any agreement would have to be ratified by Congress and approved by the EU.
Vale de Almeida visited with University of Oklahoma President David Boren and spoke to OU students and faculty on Tuesday in Norman.
Mitchell Smith, OU professor of international and area studies, said Vale de Almeida's talk focused on diplomatic and trade ties between the United States and the EU.

This title in other editions
Natural Historyby Dan Chiasson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Dan Chiasson, hailed as "one of the most gifted poets of his generation" upon the appearance of his first book, takes inspiration for his stunning new collection from the Historia Naturalis of Pliny the Elder.
"What happens next, you wont believe," Chiasson writes in "From the Life of Gorky," and it is fair warning. This collection suggests that a person is like a world, full of mysteries and wonders–and equally in need of an encyclopedia, a compendium of everything known. The long title sequence offers entries such as "The Sun" ("There is one mind in all of us, one soul, / who parches the soil in some nations / but in others hides perpetually behind a veil"), "The Elephant" ("How to explain my heroic courtesy?"), "The Pigeon" ("Once startled, you shall feel hours of weird sadness / afterwards"), and "Randall Jarrell" ("If language hurts you, make the damage real"). The mysteriously emotional individual poems coalesce as a group to suggest that our natural world is populated not just by fascinating creatures–who, in any case, are metaphors for the human as Chiasson considers them– but also by literature, by the ghosts of past poetries, by our personal ghosts. Toward the end of the sequence, one poem asks simply, "Which Species on Earth Is Saddest?" a question this book seems poised to answer. But Chiasson is not finally defeated by the sorrows and disappointments that maturity brings. Combining a classic, often heartbreaking musical line with a playful, fresh attack on the standard materials of poetry, he makes even our sadness beguiling and beautiful.
"This second book by Chiasson (The Afterlife of Objects) is split into two parts: the first tracks a burgeoning relationship ('When you ran towards me, I said, Stop there,/ stop now, you'll end up/ in a stranger's life'); the second opens with a 24-poem series called 'Natural History' (inspired, the notes tell us, by Pliny the Elder's Historia Naturalis). Like his editor, Deborah Garrison, Chiasson seeks an ordinary language to capture the not-so-ordinary emotions that accompany everyday life and observations ('You can't buy the tears that adorn my eyes/ on eBay or in the diamond district'), one that occasionally leans heavily on metaphor and simile, 'as if regret itself were a river and want// that was the source of the river flowed/ through the river.' But when it works, it's lovely: 'this is the rule of The Who, you shall be Muzak,/ you shall be orchestral, electronic and franchised.' But it doesn't all come together often enough to sustain this short book, even with the poems that draw on Pliny's images and diction. The love poems crash convincingly in spots, but feel like a series of unresolved accusations; the Pliny poems, taking natural history to involve a variety of human evils, end up a little too diffusely arch, even at their meanest and most outraged."

CINCINNATI (AP)—Chad Johnson commandeered a television camera behind the end zone, swung it around and aimed it at the field as part of a touchdown production that was two months in the making.
What he saw through the viewfinder: A Tennessee team playing itself out of the picture.
Johnson had a career-high 12 catches, set the Cincinnati record for career receptions, scored three touchdowns and steadied the Bengals to a 35-6 victory Sunday over the fading Titans.
"He deserves the credit," quarterback Carson Palmer said of the Pro Bowl receiver. "He's that good. We did a good job around him, too."
After emerging as one of the NFL's first-half surprises, Tennessee (6-5) has lost three in a row and its hold on a wild card playoff berth. The offense has been sloppy and the defense has lost its ability to stop anybody, giving up 28, 34 and 35 points during the slide.
This one really got to them.
Forlorn quarterback Vince Young sat on the bench by himself for seven minutes after the game ended, all kinds of things running through his bowed head.
"Thoughts, man, just thoughts, trying to see what's going on, what's the problem, what we need to do to get back to where we need to be at," said Young, who was limited by a bruised thigh and a strained ankle. "Why is this all of a sudden happening to us, going back to that bad feeling that we had last year with getting our butt whooped?"
One week after Palmer threw a career-high four interceptions, the Bengals (4-7) had a breakout game behind Johnson, who had gone into a shell and a funk.
Stewing over suggestions that his look-at-me antics were hurting the team, the chatty receiver had stopped talking to the media for the past month. Finally, he had something to talk about.
Instead, he chose silence, shaking his head when approached for interviews. Johnson wouldn't even talk about his team record.
"He doesn't care about that," receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh said, sounding like a spokesman for the receiver dressing silently right next to him. "He'll probably reflect on it later on."
Johnson had 103 yards and his first touchdowns since a 51-45 loss in Cleveland on Sept. 16. In that one, he dived into the Dawg Pound and a got a sticky, eye-stinging shower of beer.
Johnson eclipsed Carl Pickens' club mark with his 531st career reception in the second quarter. His next catch was a 10-yard touchdown that broke the drought and left 65,489 fans wondering how he would celebrate.
He commandeered the television camera, drawing a flag for the excessive celebration. The 15-yard penalty was assessed on the kickoff, helping the Titans drive to Rob Bironas' 23-yard field goal.
"He deserved it," defensive captain John Thornton said, approving of Johnson's celebration. "He's been working hard. I told him to keep it up. I told him if he needs a penalty to get himself going, go ahead."
Johnson also had a 2-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter and a 3-yard score in the fourth, confining his celebrations to old-fashioned hugs and high-fives.
Palmer made up for one of the worst games of his career with one of his best, going 32-of-38 for 283 yards. The Bengals converted 14 of their 18 third-down chances, a rate that Titans cornerback Nick Harper called "ridiculous."
"You saw it," Harper said. "They had an answer for everything. It was almost like they were in our huddle."
For the Titans' offense, it was another all-Bironas performance. Tennessee had to settle for a pair of field goals in the first half, when it reached the 10-yard line three times. Young lost a fumble on a blind-side hit, scuttling one drive.
The dual-threat quarterback wasn't much of a threat when the Titans got close to the goal line. Twice, he failed to connect with open receivers in the end zone. A telltale moment came in the fourth quarter, when the Titans went for it on fourth-and-goal from the 1. Young slipped on a rollout, got up and lobbed an incompletion into the end zone.
Young finished 19-of-31 for 246 yards with an interception. His solitude on the bench after the game was interrupted only by brief visits from Palmer and Houshmandzadeh.
"I told him it could be worse, they could be 4-7 like us," Houshmandzadeh said.
Given how far the Titans have fallen, it wasn't very comforting.
Titans DT Albert Haynesworth was inactive for a third straight game with a pulled hamstring. "It was risk-reward," coach Jeff Fisher said. "We want Albert back, but we want him at full speed. He's closer, but he's still not ready." … S Chris Hope left in the second quarter after sustaining a concussion. … Young threw a 73-yard pass to Justin Gage, the longest completion of his two-year career. … Bironas has made 19 consecutive field goals, one shy of the club record. … Cincinnati's Shayne Graham missed from 26 yards, ending his club-record streak of 21 straight field goals. .. Palmer's completion percentage of 84.2 percent was a career high.

Rated 1 out of 5 by LivR Very Disappointing purchase I purchased both a 3 & 4 door Detroit last year. Since being assembled by a Professional Carpenter I have had nothing but problems with these wardrobes. The doors are heay and the hinges weak, and they are unable to support the doors. The doors started to warp and one actually fell off. Presently I am in dicussion with Company who made them, as I have requested replacement doors and hinges. The doors catch each other and do not shut properly even after being adjusted. The door hinges are not strong enough and do not match into the pre drilled holes. They look nice and are spacious. I purchased as they fitted into the space I had. Looking back I wish I had not bought them as now I am left with two wardrobes that are no use. Even though purchased in a sale - they were still several hundred pounds. 20 January 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by bubbaloolie Detroit wardrobes Bought the 3 and 2 door models. Lovely wardrobes and look great up. My only gripe is that the instructions did not match the holes in the wood and we had to adapt the build ourselves to get it together ( i say 'we' actually it took my nephew a whole day to get them together). But overall, for the price, they are lovely wardrobes and look great in the room where they are now positioned ( build them where they will be finally stationed if you can, they weigh a ton!). 26 May 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by hesam worst purchase ever doors so heay but hinges so week hinges cant not suppprt the door doors caching each other even after fully adjusmnet doors hinges dont match the holes lots of isues with pre hole made 28 September 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by natashasamuel Keep Away This product arrive in good time, however product arrived with missing parts and damaged parts, side panels damaged corner where packaging banged either in warehouse or on delivery lorry. Hinges were damaged so doors couldnt be put on till replacements arrived. had to drill two holes on final door as not drilled at correct height, once drilled at correct height was the best hung door! all other doors dont hang right probably due to miss measurement when produced! 12 September 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by vman33 Great product I had been looking for a suitable wardrobe for ages and this is exactly what I wanted. Looks super when it is put together. I must point out though that it takes a while and two people are a must! Great value for money, i would recommend it :-0 09 November 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Fairiedust78 Great value for money Huge space in this wardrobe, easy to assemble although getting the doors to hang right is difficult. Looks lovely. Pleased with item. Disappointed with delivery as one end of door was slightly damaged! 13 June 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by meneza ok but not as good as i thought quite good for the price, nice effect with the full mirrored doors. however one was broken and needed replacing..a bit flimsy looking but as i said good product for the price.. 07 August 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dete Good buy Very good product it looks good and my husband says it was easy to put together I am pleased I bought these set of wardrobes and I feel they were value for money 06 November 2011

I finally caved in and bought a 1.05 oz bottle of Ben Nye Banana Powder just to check what the hype was about, and boy was I pleasantly surprised by the results!:) I love how it's lightweight and it sets my bb cream/foundation/concealer perfectly.. I have combination skin so I'm pleased that no frequent touch ups are needed for this powder. A couple of my friends have complimented me on how smooth and flawless my makeup looks. I guess this would certainly be an HG powder for me---will repurchase again soon!

Where have you been all my life? This product is amazing for setting makeup on light to medium, yellow-toned skin. Ever since I bought this, I've been using it every day. So many base products, even the ones with yellow undertones, pull pink on me; a little bit of Banana Powder goes a long way in mattifying my face without making me look pink or ashy. The one thing I don't like about this is the packaging: I have to be gentle when tipping the bottle or I'll end up pouring too much product. I currently pour this into the cap of a jar of mineral powder, but I think I should have bought a separate sifter jar, which I'll likely do the next time I go to the downtown beauty supply store. Apart from that, this is my holy grail powder, and with my general dislike for loose powders that's saying a lot.

TO. DIE. FOR. oily skin .... Girls this is for you! I bought for £25 off eBay , realised I've been ripped off because I've seen it for £15 elsewhere. But anyways great for oil control and highlighting. That big bottle will last forever because you don't need that much per application. The bottle is awkward tho, could be better packaging for application with sponge.

I have 3 colors in this topaz banana and camel, I love them all I want more... I want more...
love this product! I was happy that it lived up to my expectations. The powder is very finely milled so it doesn't crease on fine lines. It goes on very sheer and a little goes a long way. Unless you use it as your regular face powder, a bottle will last you a looong time. I wish the packaging was better to carry all day in my purse, It not meant to be matte but I only get oily on my nose after 6 hours with this.

I could definitely see this product being wonderful for someone with a warm olive or deep skintone, but definitely not for fair skin.. It is WAY too yellow and dark for fair-medium/fair skin.. I'm gonna try this product again when I start to get a little darker in the spring and maybe it will work better with a slight tan. Hope this helps!

I love this product! I've heard so many good things about it so when I decided to buy, I was happy that it lived up to my expectations. The powder is very finely milled so it doesn't crease on fine lines. It goes on very sheer and a little goes a long way. Unless you use it as your regular face powder, a bottle will last you a looong time. Which brings me to the only con I have of this product - the packaging. While the sifter may be hygienic, a lot gets wasted because its hard to control what comes out of it. I wish they could do something about this.

While this powder isn't for everyone it is for me. The color is just right and the finish it leaves me with is amazing. I sometimes use it for highlighting portions of my face and sometimes as an all over face powder. It photographs well without a white cast when doing flash photography. I wouldn't say it controls oil well or does a terrible job at it. I have oily skin and it didn't perform any worse or better than any other face powders I have tried. Even oil control powders last about the same on me as this. So believe what you will but everyone is different and I guess the chemistry mix between the powder and my body is the same with this and other powders I have tried.
The price, it can't be beat. It was around $13 for a 3oz tub. This thing is huge. I will never be able to finish it. But the packaging is horrible. It's a cap with a sifter on top and unlike powder jars once the powder is out of the container, there is no well or anything on top of the sifter to hold it there. I've since poured this into an older face powder jar that I have finished with a sifter. This works out much better and I am experiencing less product waste.
Also ladies for those of you looking for a color match. Some reviewers say this is either took dark or too light for them. Do your research. Ben nye makes a range of colors for their powders. It may not be called banana powder, but it's essentially the same thing in a different color. I know everyone has hyped up this one color/powder, but if it's the wrong color it won't work for you. So don't just reach for it because everyone says omg you have to try the banana powder. Do your research. This is yellow.

bought it to see what all the hype is about, its a really good powder, doesn't cake up foundation, though it does darken the foundation color into more of an orangey yellowy tone. but in summer season this will come in handy, im too light to use it purely as undereye powder although it does the highlighting job amazingly, wen I was tanner It was perfect. Only con is the packaging as everyone else is saying but u are buying a huge tub for 12-14 $

PROS: blends very easily, works in warm tones even though it's yellow, great concealer, great highlighter. CONS: expensive (bought mine in eBay for a great deal though!), packaging is just dumb, I have to tap some into the cap and because I use so little, I can't put the cap back on til I've used everything in it

Christmas Mothers Gear Up for the Holidays
By Patty Kruszewski, Henrico Citizen Managing Editor 10/28/10
The orange and black decorations in stores have yet to give way to red and green, but Henrico residents can rest assured that the Christmas season has officially begun.
At the annual Henrico Christmas Mother kickoff coffee, held Oct. 18 at Belmont Recreation Center, Christmas Mother "alumni" from as far back as 1977 gathered to recognize the 2010 honoree – and to celebrate almost 70 years of helping needy neighbors enjoy Christmas with new clothing, ample food, and gifts.
Henrico Christmas Mother Council President Shelly Poole announced that for the first time, donations to the Christmas Mother program can be made through the program's website – and that the convenience of giving online has already brought in some first-time donors.
In other good news, said Poole, Martin's Food and Drug will be reinstituting the Ukrop's Share a Holiday Meal program and providing gift cards to the Christmas Mother program at discounted rates.
Anne Southworth, the 1997 Christmas Mother, also noted that a recent book-signing held by her daughter brought in more than $2,000 for the program.
Maribeth Southworth, a 1978 graduate of Hermitage High School, held a reading and signing Oct. 16 at Crossridge for her book, "She Finally Sat Down – 50 Years of Memories, Musings and Melodrama." Proceeds from book sales at the event were donated to the Henrico Christmas Mother.
The extra donations could not have been more timely, Poole said, considering the growth in number of families served each season, and the indications that more than 6,000 individuals will require assistance this year.
Carolyn Bush, who serves as liaison between the Christmas Mother and Henrico County Public Schools, reported that letters from the superintendent have already gone out to school principals, who are challenging students to contribute canned goods and toys by offering unique incentives – such as promises to kiss a pig when goals are met.
"The great thing about the Christmas Mother program is that every child has the opportunity to bring in something – a can of food," said Bush. And Christmas Mothers were quick to back Bush up with stories of students from low-income households offering canned goods and hard-earned dimes "for someone who needs it."
Dorothy M. Tatem, the 2010 Christmas Mother, comes from a family of nine children herself and can relate to the life situations of many recipients.
In 1973, Tatem was the first African American female to enlist in the Virginia Air National Guard. After serving as an inventory management specialist, the long-time Fairfield resident retired from the Guard in 2004 as a senior master sergeant.
As the 69th Henrico Christmas Mother, she will visit schools and civic organizations, appear in local parades, meet with volunteers and donors, and lead the efforts of the 15 volunteer co-chairs who solicit donations and recruit volunteers to staff the Henrico Christmas Mother Warehouse in December.
In addition to thanking Bush and the school system employees, Poole also paid tribute to co-chairs Lisa Orlosky and Juliana Haalboom for their efforts representing Henrico County government employees. County Manager Virgil Hazelett, who has worked with the program for more than 35 years, came in for his share of appreciation as well.
Attending the annual gathering and seeing the energy and commitment of the volunteers, responded Hazelett, never fails to inspire him.
"It doesn't matter what my day [at work] is like," Hazelett told the women. "All I have to do is come here, and life slows down.
"And life is good."
The Henrico Christmas Mother will take requests from Henrico families with children, the elderly, and disabled adults at 361 Dabbs House Road on Nov. 1, 8 and 22 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Nov. 15 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Applicants must bring the following: proof of county residence; social security cards for all household members; income verification, such as pay stubs, Medicaid cards, or food stamp card; and disability certification for any disabled adults.
To avoid duplication of effort, applicants must agree not to request help from similar agencies assisting families for Christmas.
For information about donating, volunteering, or applying to the Christmas Mother program, call 236-9741 or visit henricochristmasmother.org. To sponsor a family for Christmas, call 501-5538. To make a donation by check, mail to Henrico Christmas Mother, P.O. Box 27, Sandston, VA 23150.
Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.

A triumphant return
Pixar's 'Inside Out' is a magnificent, emotional ride
Explaining the nuts and bolts of Pixar's new, exciting, innovative Inside Out – really digging into the film's shape-and-color explanation of the human mind – would take up the entirety of this review. And probably three or four more (if movies had instruction manuals, Inside Out's would be the size and general poundage of a cinder block).
It's a complicated movie. So here's the gist, in as simply-put terms can be. > Read more.

The sections..... • Introduction – setting young people in context • Chapter1: Young People's Geographies: implications for secondary school geography • Chapter 2: Young Peoples' conceptions of geography in education • Chapter 3: Children's geographies in the primary school • Discussion: Underpinnings of the section • Childhood(s) as a social construction with its/their own power geometries (Massey 1993) • Children are knowledgeable about their own lives – expert-witnesses • Children are not 'empty vessels' – they are often more worldly –wise than adults care to admit. (Thomson,P. forthcoming) • With hearts and minds fixed firmly on a school curriculum that contributes to a more equitable, just and sustainable world, the authors whose work is represented in this first section of Geography, Education and the Future seek to challenge and unsettle some current dominant classroom assumptions. They query what counts as significant knowledge and how it is produced and reproduced in schools and they offer alternatives grounded in practice and in theory. Young people in context.... • Territoriality • Anti-social behaviour • Rising youth unemployment • 'Islanding of childhood' (Gilles, 2008) • Retreat from the streets – Matthews and Limb (2000) • Increase in public –space surveillance – Mosquito devices There is not one childhood but many, formed at the intersection of different cultural, social and economic systems, natural and man-made physical environments. Different positions in society produce different positions. (James and Prout xiii) • There is no longer a shared time or territory of childhood, no mainland of childhood, only infinite archipelagos of stranded children, even more dependent on adults to transport them from island to island and keep them on schedule in their increasingly hurried lives.' (Zeiher in Gillis; 316). And at the same time.... In the past thirty years the processes associated with globalisation have produced more diversity than similarity. We now live in an era when modernity takes many forms and childhood comes in many varieties. Instead of declining, child labour has increased in many underdeveloped countries;...ever-larger generations of unschooled street children engage in crime and violence; child prostitution is on the rise and child soldiers have become common place in Africa and Asia. (Gilles.J :2008: 322) What's this got to do with school geography? • 'Funds of knowledge' – Hall and Thomson (2008) • Making connections – Roberts (2010) • Power-geometries – Massey (2003) • Cultural understanding– Lambert and Morgan (2010) Young People in Castle Square, Swansea. Lambert and Morgan (2010) Teaching Geography 11-18 A Conceptual Approach Young people's geographies framework Young people's lives and the Conversation discipline of geography come together Collective responsibility for the Ideas diversity development of geographical and improvement knowledge Learning from curriculum making (North East group) • Initially many in the geography education community were sceptical about pupil involvement in curriculum development • There were concerns about whether the pupils were old enough to be involved in developing the curriculum • There were doubts about young people's abilities to make sense of their own geographies • The pupils had never experienced such involvement before, always having been passive recipients of other people's knowledge and never fully engaged in making their own • To begin with the pupils' experiences had to be carefully scaffolded and modelled The contentious curriculum • Questions of knowledge - what is taught to whom, why, and to what ends. In what ways does what we teach reflect the society we aspire to/have/had. • High-stakes curriculum debates because of the multiple childhoods that co-exist: interior journeys (Green: Curriculum making with the academic discipline as a resource Geography: the academic discipline Students Geography: geographical the school lives subject Geography teachers To conclude..... An exclusive and excluding curriculum that only values certain kinds of knowledge and experience signals to many young people how we, as a society, value them now - as individuals as members of diverse communities and as contributors to wider society. It could be deemed educationally careless to ignore the social and cultural capital of this significant group whose spatial lives are shaped by powerful local-global forces; ignoring these geographies runs the risk of alienating significant proportions of young people and of leaving school geography out of kilter with their needs and interests. Young people's geographies, as a research paradigm, can tell us a great deal about the lives of young people in order to support the development of a more relevant and inclusive school curriculum, but, accessing these geographies can only happen with the consent and participation of young people themselves.

The #Pirates announce former Bucco infielder Jay Bell as new Pirates Hitting Coach — Pittsburgh Pirates (@Pirates) October 31, 2012 A few weeks ago, Deadspin ran an excellent piece on Jay Bell, where Bell looked back on his career and told stories about his time in Pittsburgh and Kansas City and Arizona and New York (I can't link to it now because the hurrican took out Gawker's servers). While reading it, I thought to myself, "Man, it seems like Jay Bell would make an excellent coach or manager." In particular, there was a story about a conversation that Bell had with Chili Davis early in his career about how Davis lost most of his tools and changed his swing to hit for more power later in his career, and how Bell applied that to himself as he got older. I have no idea if Bell will be a good hitting coach or not, but then I have no idea if anyone is really a good hitting coach or not and having read that story about Bell, I'm happy to know that he'll be in the Pirates' dugou...

Select Local Merchants
Jiffy LubeRead MoreYou don't need a stopwatch to know that Jiffy Lube's services are fast, but if you had one, the Signature Service Oil Change would clock in at the 20-minute mark. And you'd be getting more than just an oil change. Jiffy Lube technicians also top off fluids, inflate tires, inspect key components, and diagnose issues before they happen?all in less time than it takes to replace a shattered windshield with Saran-Wrap. This blend of speed, quality, and preventative maintenance is at the core of Jiffy Lube's mission to maximize a vehicle's lifespan and keep it out of the repair shop. More than 20,000 of its technicians have completed an extensive training program certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). These experts can perform many of the manufacturer-recommended services offered at dealerships, including air-filtration and electrical services?only without the need for appointments or long wait times. An impressive feat, considering that Jiffy Lube serves roughly 24 million customers each year.6744 NE Bothell WayKenmore, WA US
Juanita Firs 76Read MoreAfter working as a mechanic for six years at Juanita Firs Texaco, a 22-year-old Dan Amundsen bought the station with the help of his father in 1978. Amundsen's devoted father worked early mornings to keep the business running, and Juanita Firs 76 continues to be a family operation today. Patrons stopping by for gas might encounter Amundsen's children, nieces, family friends, feral grease monkeys, and, of course, employees who have been with the company for as many as 30 years. The station's ASE-certified technicians bring 120 years of combined experience to the oil-stained table as they perform a wide range of services. They keep cars running smoothly with tune-ups and scheduled maintenance, and specialists can also repair more advanced snafus involving the brake, tire, and air-conditioning systems. Drivers receive a free Express car wash and complimentary cup of coffee with every fill-up of 8 gallons or more.13701 100th Ave N.E.Kirkland, WA US
Car ToysRead MoreThough it originally sold only two things—audio products and wireless phones—Car Toys has gradually expanded its repertoire. Today, with 50 locations spread across four states, electronics-certified technicians install everything from Alpine in-dash navigation units to phone-integration systems that sync iPhones, Androids, and tin cans to car stereos. Meanwhile, in the garage, detailing technicians meticulously spruce up cars inside and out, using deionized water, paint-friendly shampoos, and high-quality wash mitts to protect against scratches, swirls, and water spots. The team also sweeps through interiors with vacuums, hot-water extractors, and ozone deodorizing treatment, which kills airborne bacteria and nasty smells in one fell swoop.12636 Totem Lake Boulevard NortheastKirkland, WA US
Super Clean Auto DetailingRead MoreHour by hour, chassis by chassis, the technicians at Super Clean Auto Detailing restore a new-car sparkle to vehicles. They detail small, medium, and large automobiles with three distinct packages, offering a hand wash, dry, and wax with even the most basic package. Additional services, such as engine decreasing and paint sealing, let clients customize their wash experience. Beyond cleaning and polishing, the team also uses its technical acumen to install and upgrade electronics such as car stereos and back-up cameras that let drivers know if they're being followed by a Secret Service motorcade.13209 Northeast 126th PlaceKirkland, WA US
Marks Japanese European AutoRead MoreMark Wagner has been working under the hood of international automobiles since 1972. After securing a master's degree in mechanical engineering in Germany, Wagner ferried both his family and his familiarity with foreign cars to America, where, today, he teams up with the ASE-certified techs in his repair shop. The factory-trained mechanics dole out everything from tune-ups to engine, brake, and transmission repairs. And all of their work is backed by a 15-month, 15,000-mile warranty that prevents cars from worrying about waking up and seeing their name in the classified pages.13500 100th Ave. NEKirkland, WA US
Eastside Automotive & TireRead MoreFor more than 20 years, the service technicians at Eastside Automotive & Tire have been keeping vehicles in top shape with a variety of maintenance and tire services. They perform routine oil changes and fix broken air-conditioning systems, and can replace nearly anything on a vehicle?including brakes, struts, batteries, and windshield wipers. Patrons can also have custom tires affixed to their car, choosing from aluminum-alloy or steel wheels that can be chrome-plated, powder-coated, or covered with your favorite baseball cards.12676 NE 85th St.Kirkland, WA US

Originally written on Fox Sports West | Last updated 11/17/11
There have been two Southern California-based hockey teams since the Ducks -- then the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim -- joined the Kings in the Pacific Division in 1993. But is there a real rivalry? The teams play spirited games every season, in front of raucous crowds. But some would argue that rivalries aren't truly forged until the playoffs, and Kings coach Terry Murray doesn't disagree. To that end, the Kings and Ducks haven't even come close. In fact, last season was the first time the two teams even made the playoffs in the same season, when the Ducks finished fourth in the Western Conference and the Kings were seventh. The teams played Wednesday night in Los Angeles -- a 2-1 Kings shootout victory -- and play again Thursday in Anaheim. Murray can imagine how intense a seven-game "freeway series" would be. "I think it helps, whenever you have a couple years of playoffs," Murray said. "There's a little bit more reason to get heated up for the regular-season games. But this is a g...

DAPPER DON: ABC's Rob Stone interviewed MLS Commissioner Don Garber during halftime of MLS Cup on Sunday. Stone asked Garber about the MetroStars' stadium situation in Harrison, New Jersey, given recent overtures from New Jersey acting Gov. Richard Codey about building a stadium at the Meadowlands. Garber: "It's better to have another option but we're still very committed to Harrison" ("MLS Cup," ABC, 11/14).
HORSE APIECE: In St. Petersburg, Lucy Morgan reports opponents of the slots legislation that passed on the November 4 ballot in South Florida "have gone to court to force a recount in Broward County." When absentee ballots were "discovered, the amendment was losing by about 1,000 votes. Of the 78,000 absentee ballots, 94[%] favored the amendment, compared with 64[%] cast on Election Day." The amendment allows slot machines at horse and dog tracks and jai alai frontons in Broward and Miami-Dade counties (ST. PETERSBURG TIMES, 11/16).
