Customer Reviews
Pencil saver
- The drug store sharpener I had would always break my eyeliners, lip liners, and stick eyeshadows. The pixi sharpener doesn't ruin my liners and etc. One problem I'm facing is that I accidently chipped off the part where it holds in the blade cleaner. I think pixi should make it so that it doesn't chip off, so now my blade cleaner falls out. Not the end of the world, I just got a small piece of masking tape and that did the job!
Must for pencil users.
- Sharpe, precise, versatile- what more could you want? The pick is so useful, I can't believe no ones made one before!
Must have
- I made the mistake of using an old leftover sharpener once, and it ravaged the tip. Seriously, the amount of product you'll waste with lesser sharpeners is much greater than the cost of this one. Super worth it.
perfect sharpener
- I only have to twist my eyeliner pencils a few times to get the result I want instead of several times because the blades are sharp and stay that way.
great sharpener!
- This sharpener is very sharp and creates a precise point on a variety of pencil products. I really like the inclusion of a pick that can be used to clean the sharpener. Really useful!
- this is a wonderful sharpener that works fabulous to sharpen the chubby eyeshadow pencils pixi makes and the eyeliner pencils!
best sharpener yet!
- there is no other sharpener that does the job like this one, and this one does a beautiful job at it! sharpens my chubby liners and slim ones perfectly!
A must-have!
- If you use the Endless Silky Eye Pen, you really HAVE to have this sharpener. I was using a cheapo sharpener because I didn't think it would make any difference but I was wasting SOOO much product because it would snap off the tip since the liner is kinda soft. But this sharpener doesn't do that at all! I'm telling you, it makes a huge difference!
Works great
- I have had some pretty pathetic drugstore sharpeners over the years, so I decide to give this a shot. It's works great, I use it with the silky eyeliner, and it gives me a nice point every time.
Best Sharpener
- Love this light green sharpener. All my pencils fit in either hole except a very fat chubby pencil. This has become my go-to pencil sharpener. I have re-homed all my previous ones!
What it is specially designed for:
This must-have tool was specifically designed to fit Endless Silky Eye Pen & Lid Last Shadow Pen, but it also works for most standard size pencils. Blade cleaner included for your convenience.
Additional Information
|Color Description
|How to
Put pencils in the freezer for a few minutes before sharpening. This will solidify the formula and minimize lead breakage. Use gentle pressure to sharpen - do not press pencil too hard when sharpening.

Smart TV platform creator presents at CES 2013 its revolutionary contextual and social interactive applications, opening up new revenue opportunities for TV Service Providers
Yarkona, Israel and Las Vegas, USA - 9th January 2013: Comigo today announced it will use its presence at CES 2013 to demonstrate its unique social and interactive applications (WatchApps) which allow viewers to engage with the content they watch and interact with their friends.
The WatchApps are offered as part of Comigo's multi-screen Smart TV platform. The viewers can participate in polls, betting or trivia questions, get extended internet-based information related to the content they watch, buy merchandize or other items - all while watching the show with no need to surf the web or search in the application store.
For example, while watching a Sports match, the viewer can enter the Facebook page of the league, get the history of the players, receive real-time results of other games being played at the same time, re-play interesting events that took place during the game, minute-by-minute, make a bet, purchase tickets for the next game and more.
Viewers can purchase specific products related to the viewed content and invite their friends to join this purchase - in return they can get a discount.
Viewers can also use the WatchApps to send virtual multimedia messages to friends while watching a show, such as Birthday Cakes and wishes and throwing a tomato when their friend's team scores.
Comigo offers SDK, enabling developers to build such interactive-applications and back-end tools for the TV Service Providers to manage and correlate the interactive-applications with their EPG.
Comigo presents its platform at the LVH (Las Vegas Hotel), 3000 Paradise Road, East Tower, Suite 2060
For demo coordination please contact: [email protected]

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

Wisconsin Democrat Fleebaggers violate Senate Rule 23
Yes, Rule 23:
Senate Rule 23
: : : Senate Rule 23. Committee not to be absent. Members of a committee, except a conference committee, may not be absent by reason of their appointment during the sitting of the senate, without special leave.
[am. 2001 S.Res. 2] emphasis mine
I'm a literal type of gal, and "may not" means you absolutely, positively cannot be absent—without taking special leave (maybe they could get a doctor's note).: Here are the past and future committee schedules for February and March 2011.
Will tone-deaf, taxpayer-betraying Democrats Tim Carpenter, Spencer Coggs, Tomothy Cullen, Jon Erpenbach, Dave Hansen, Jim Holperin, Robert Jauch, Chris Larson, Julie Lassa, Mark Miller, Fred Risser, Lena Taylor, Kathleen Vinehout, and Robert Wirch: abide: by the Senate rules that they: adopted in January 2011.: Or will they continue to hold their positions in contempt and be cowards?
Will the Wisconsin Republicans hold the Democrat fleebaggers to the Wisconsin Constitution and flex their majority authority…kinda like the Democrats in the US House did with Rep. Joe Wilson?
These fleebagging Democrats not only took an oath to uphold the Wisconsin Constitution, but also the United States Constitution and could, if they really had serious moxie, enforce what is stated in both: Constitutions:
Article IV, :§7 (of WI document)
: : : Organization of legislature; quorum; compulsory attendance. Section 7. Each house shall be the judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members; and a majority of each shall constitute a quorum to do business, but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day, and may compel the attendance of absent members in such manner and under such penalties as each house may provide. (emphasis mine)
It would be a great day for Wisconsin taxpayers if that "may compel" became a "did compel," because as I have stated before "working families" is code for "union families": and what have the Democrats done for: private-sector families, except regulate and tax their businesses it into oblivion.
Yes, indeed, elections have consequences.: And the GOP is only getting started; it's only: been two months.

N.Y. Jets at St. Louis Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, at Edward Jones Dome, St. Louis - TV: CBS; DirecTV: 712 *TV announcers: Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts *Keys to the game: The Jets have been outscored 58-16 over their past two games and failed to score an offensive touchdown last week. QB Mark Sanchez hasn't lost his job yet, but he continues to make poor decisions with the ball and Tim Tebow's role increased at Seattle. Most important for the Jets is getting RB Shonn Greene untracked early, controlling field position and avoiding turnovers. The Rams can get after the passer, so the last thing a Jets team striving to control the clock wants to see is Sanchez bringing his eyes down early in anticipation of DEs Robert Quinn and Chris Long bearing down on him. Rams RBs Steven Jackson and Daryl Richardson combined for 159 rushing yards against a strong San Francisco run defense last week. That set the table for a very efficient outing for QB Sam Bradford, who immediately benefitted from the retu...

Product description
The spread of Greek civilization through Europe, into Africa and the Near East, began long before the classical period, long after Troy, Mycenae and Knossos had fallen. This study provides the archaeologist's point of view of this important period of European history, describing how, out of the Dark Ages of reduced population and comparative penury, the Greeks set their sails north, south, east and west to plant trading posts and colonies, to reap whatever harvest of materials and expertise the barbarian could offer, and to disseminate the benefits of their own rapidly developing and brilliant civilization. The canvas is broad: Greek mercenaries leaving graffiti on the statues of Abel Simbel in southern Egypt; Greek traders braving the Atlantic breakers or introducing wine to Burgundy. This work seeks to demonstrate the value of archaeology to the historical record, and to indicate how much the arts and culture of Classical Greece already owed to foreign influences. For this fourth edition, an additional chapter has been added, summarizing finds and exploring the attitudes that have affected the study of the subject.

I didn't know what I didn't know. And that is a dangerous thing.
I kept up my "training regimen" with nearly weekly visits to the Arnold Rifle and Pistol Club in Pevely, Missouri (an awesome private club here in the greater St. Louis, Missouri metro area) and along with my recreational shooting I specifically drilled myself on drawing from a holster and shooting at a target from reasonable distances. I watched YouTube videos made by "experts" and many are very helpful to the beginning shooter. Many others, aren't. I figured I was doing pretty well. I was putting rounds put on paper in a reasonable group relatively quickly. So, I was feeling pretty good about my skill set.
But then I happened to meet the managing principal of Asymmetric Solutions. We struck up a conversation and he noticed I was wearing my gun club membership badge. He asked me, "Do you like shooting guns?" Oh, yes, indeed I do. "Do you?" I asked. He said, "Yes, in fact, I have a facility in Farmington you might like to visit," and invited me out that day.
Forty minutes or so later, I found myself rolling into a gorgeous piece of property located in the gentle rolling hills of south/central Missouri on 2,500+ acres, including Missouri's second highest elevation. After looking around at their facilities, their shoot house, the ranges, I realized I was dealing with a whole new level. I found out that Asymmetric Solutions has been offering training facilities and opportunities for military special forces units and law enforcement agencies for a number of years and had started offering training for civilians, too. Their cadre of instructors include a number of former special forces guys. Talk about being in the right place at the right time.
I began taking classes and have now gone through their Basics of Tactical Shooting Class, their Fighting Pistol I and II and Fighting Carbine I and II classes and a few others. Each time I learn more and realize more how much more I have to learn and the need to keep practicing. It has been a sobering and humbling experience.
Simply put: there's a huge difference between standing in a bay at a gun club, taking deliberate aim and delivering rounds on paper and training to shoot under stress. Being timed and analyzed for accuracy while you are moving in every direction, engaging multiple threats upon command and drawing from concealment makes a big, big difference.
And here's my point. I'm sure everyone who has had a similar experience moving from a required CCW class to the "do it yourself" training and then to professional training is either nodding in agreement, or perhaps saying, "Of course, you idiot." Either way, the point I'm making here for all who might fall into the DIY category is: get training!
Seek it out from people who have the real-world experience and credentials to deliver training that's as realistic as possible and shows you the huge difference between target shooting and defensive use of a weapon in various scenarios. In real life the moment of crisis comes suddenly, before you have a chance to touch the sidearm you are carrying. If you have to think it over, even for a second, when the moment of crisis is upon you, that's a recipe for disaster and may well cost you your life, or the life of your loved ones or others you acting to defend.
Professional training equips you with the skills you need to keep practicing effectively. Taking a few classes is by no means the end-all of training. It's merely the beginning. You have to use the skills or you lose them. At Asymmetric Solutions we heard, over and over again, "These are the skills that we have found to be the most effective in actual combat experiences. We will tell you what we have found to work the best for us and you can decide from there what works best for you. But whatever you do, you need to practice, continually. Dry firing should be what you do 70% of the time with your weapon."
When you are put in a situation where your heart rate is up, the pressure is on and the adrenalin is flowing you quickly discover that your basic skills with a firearm – stance, grip, trigger control, sight picture – go right into the toilet. Fast. Faster than you'd ever realize without training. So get ready to eat a huge slice of humble pie.
The instructors at Asymmetric Solutions repeatedly drum it into your head: "A well-placed shot from a small caliber is far more effective than a poorly placed one from something more powerful. Remember: mindset, training, then equipment."
That's worth repeating: Mindset. Training. Equipment. In that order.
What I didn't know that I didn't know was dangerous. What you don't know is dangerous. That's why competent professional training is key and if the training doesn't focus on proper mindset, then teaching skills to be practiced, no matter what the equipment is, you are not getting the right training. I was fortunate to stumble on great place for professional training. I urge you to find one, too because what you don't know may well get you killed.

Excerpt, Product Closeup
For years, The Thompson Chain Reference Bible has been the most relied on source for exhaustive Bible study. The unique chain-reference system gives you the "big picture" on 7,000 important topics by linking all the verses pertaining to a certain to a certain subject together (more than 10,000 references) – right in the margins for quick referencing. There's no easier or faster way to get all the information you need!
Also available: Hardcover, Thumb-Indexed
In a reference Bible, the text contains cross-references to related words, phrases, topics, themes or people. The references can be located in a side column or columns, a center column, at the bottom of the page, or at the verse or paragraph breaks within the text. While most Bibles contain cross-references to at least some degree, on this page we have listed only those Bibles classified as true "Reference" Bibles.
Reference Bibles come in many different formats, so they will not all appear on this page. Many of the Thinline, Compact and Large-Print Bibles are indeed reference Bibles. If you are looking for a reference Bible in one of those formats, be sure to check those sections.
Typically "Reference Bibles" differ from "Study Bibles" in a few key ways. Study Bibles will normally have same page "study notes" - as a sort of built-in commentary - to help you understand and interpret the Scripture. While they may also incorporate references, they usually offer more in the way of additional helps than the typical Reference Bible. If you are looking for more study helps, you may want to consider a Study Bible.

Thread: The Journey of a boy called Papu
October 12th, 2012 #1
The Journey of a boy called Papu
(Updated with my latest piece! I didn't like the previous one as my skecthbook thumbnail.)
Heyooo! I've been lurking here for awhile now and I got so inspired my other peoples' sketchbooks that I just had to start my own. It's so awesome to see how people have gotten better and doing a sketchbook on this site just feels like a good way to record the journey of an aspiring artist. So yeaaa a sköööttchbööök AWSUM
I feel like I need to say something about myself so here goes. I'm 18 years old now(I turn 19 in 10 days!! DDPP), currently in high school(fakken hate it tbh) and I live in Finland. I've always been drawing, but it wasn't serious before I turned 18. I'm not sure how I realized this is what I want to do, but I guess it was just seeing other peoples' awesome art. So yeah, I've been doing this for about a year now and I'm more inspired and excited than ever; such a good feeling it is ). I can't wait to start posting here regurarly and I intend to update atleast 4 times a week, probably a lot of studies and whatnot, some illustrations once in a while too probs.
I wanted to include some anatomy skeches(sorry for the terrible quality, my scanner is broken so I had to use my shitty camera) and this character I drew the other day, to show you the level I'm at right now.

Just wanted to post some stuff I've done in the last year or so. The first one is something I did for a friend yesterday. It could be a lot better(the face is pretty bad), but I only had like a one day to do it, so I guess it's okay. The second one is pretty old and one the first digital paintings I was happy with. It's maybe a bit too dark, but oh well. The third one was done like a couple of months ago, it was a really challenging piece and in the end I think I screwed it up(The background for example is horrible). Positive thing is that I learned a LOT while I was doing it, so that's always good.
I'm going to start posting more typical sketchbook stuff soon. I just wanted show the stuff I've done in my first year, since I started taking things seriously. It's mostly digital stuff and there's loads more of it that I haven't posted yet, and probably never will. Anyway, I realized a couple of weeks ago that while it's good that I have learned the basics of digital painting and I don't suck at it anymore, I really have to go back to the very basic and essential things like perspective and anatomy, because I just don't handle that stuff well enough yet. I want to learn that stuff now, so I won't have to worry about it later on. So yeah expect a lot more of that kind of stuff
October 16th, 2012 #5
There should be a post of studies I did in here, but it hasn't showed up. I posted it a couple of days ago and it said a moderator has to approve it before it shows up. My last post(which I posted a couple of minutes ago) showed up immediately, without having to wait for approval. Hmmm I don't get it

Very nice studies. More, more!
October 16th, 2012 #8
Last one for today! This was loads of fun to do. I liked the lighting a lot, in the stock image so I decided to paint it. My goal was to make it as photorealistic as possible, but not spend too much time on it. Mission accomplished atleast IMO.
@nouge Thanks I'll probably update atleast 4 times a week so more will be coming lots more.

Some Loomis studies. I really liked doing these and I'm probably going to do more of those pivots today. Don't mind that perspective study it's pretty much very badly done, but atleast I learned something from it. That second thing is something I did for school and I liked it, so I figured why not post it here
October 23rd, 2012 #10
Here's some loomis sketches and 30-60 studies I did last weekend. There's also a random character I painted today, which I was happy with.(It's pretty much a WIP, but I'm not sure I'm gonna finish it so I just figured I'd post it.) The last one was perspective practise and I also wanted to practise painting indoors environment.
October 23rd, 2012 #11
Ohhhh this last painting really made my eyes pop out, love it!! Your anatomy seems really good and improving all the time, not sure what I can crit just keep practicing like you are already!
October 23rd, 2012 #12
My friend you are on fire and working like a beast its great. You have a very naturalistic style to you painting its def going to be awesome in years to come. that girl sitting on the couch looks pretty polished like the attention you payed to the fabric and the folds and the way the fabric is stretching across the skin, applying those techniques to your own work in time will help it stand out. Liking your portrait studies too and you have some good ideas of your own like your own. Keep working.
October 30th, 2012 #13
Been busy with school stuff(essays and such), so that's why I haven't updated. I wanted to post something though, so here goes. The first one is from a photo but the others are obviously from imagination.
Pretty boring stuff, but I just started a new illustration today that's turning out quite well. I'll try to finish it as soon as possible, so I can post it here.

Publisher's Description
"The very hungry caterpillar literally eats his way through the pages of the book—and right into your child's heart..."
—Mother's Manual
"Gorgeously illustrated, brilliantly innovative..."
—The New York Times Book Review
Author Bio
Born in Syracuse, New York, in 1929, Eric Carle moved with his parents to Germany when he was six years old; he was educated there, and graduated from the prestigious art school, the Akademie der bildenden Kunste, in Stuttgart. But his dream was always to return to America, the land of his happiest childhood memories. So, in 1952, with a fine portfolio in hand and forty dollars in his pocket, he arrived in New York. Soon he found a job as a graphic designer in the promotion department of The New York Times. Later, he was the art director of an advertising agency for many years.
One day, respected educator and author, Bill Martin Jr, called to ask Carle to illustrate a story he had written. Martin's eye had been caught by a striking picture of a red lobster that Carle had created for an advertisement. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? was the result of their collaboration. It is still a favorite with children everywhere. This was the beginning of Eric Carle's true career. Soon Carle was writing his own stories, too. His first wholly original book was 1,2,3 to the Zoo, followed soon afterward by the celebrated classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Eric Carle's art is distinctive and instantly recognizable. His art work is created in collage technique, using hand-painted papers, which he cuts and layers to form bright and cheerful images. Many of his books have an added dimension - die-cut pages, twinkling lights as in The Very Lonely Firefly, even the lifelike sound of a cricket's song as in The Very Quiet Cricket - giving them a playful quality: a toy that can be read, a book that can be touched. Children also enjoy working in collage and many send him pictures they have made themselves, inspired by his illustrations. He receives hundreds of letters each week from his young admirers. The secret of Eric Carle's books' appeal lies in his intuitive understanding of and respect for children, who sense in him instinctively someone who shares their most cherished thoughts and emotions.
The themes of his stories are usually drawn from his extensive knowledge and love of nature - an interest shared by most small children. Besides being beautiful and entertaining, his books always offer the child the opportunity to learn something about the world around them. It is his concern for children, for their feelings and their inquisitiveness, for their creativity and their intellectual growth that, in addition to his beautiful artwork, makes the reading of his books such a stimulating and lasting experience.
Carle says: "With many of my books I attempt to bridge the gap between the home and school. To me home represents, or should represent; warmth, security, toys, holding hands, being held. School is a strange and new place for a child. Will it be a happy place? There are new people, a teacher, classmates - will they be friendly? I believe the passage from home to school is the second biggest trauma of childhood; the first is, of course, being born. Indeed, in both cases we leave a place of warmth and protection for one that is unknown. The unknown often brings fear with it. In my books I try to counteract this fear, to replace it with a positive message. I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn. I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun."

The Conemaugh Health Foundation will host The Art of Healing Exhibition: Reflections 2014 at the Johnstown gallery of the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art (located at the Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown). Opening exhibit and reception will be held on Thursday, March 27, 2014 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This is the 5th annual exhibit for the Arts for Healing Program. Each piece of artwork was created by members of the Arts for Healing program at Conemaugh East Hills. The program helps improve the quality of life for patients with chronic pain, such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and stroke. Through artistic expression, these conditions may be reduced, resulting in decreased pain, anxiety, and depression. The most recent program participants worked with local artist Kathy Reed. Kathy introduced the group to Polish papercutting, a Folk Art tradition known as Wycinanki. Wycinanki focuses on bright and decorative geometrical features, repitition, and symmetry. Artists-in-Residence help patients focus away from pain, redirect frustration, communicate complex feelings, relax and enhance the quality of life. As one participant describes, "This was fascinating and inspiring and has proven to be an excellent outlet for everyone who experiences pain or discomfort. At Arts for Healing I put my troubles behind me and let myself be absorbed into the art." The event is free and open to the public. The exhibit is on display starting Friday March 21, 2014 through June 6, 2014. The event was funded in part by a Project Stream Grant from the Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts and the Pennsylvania Rural Arts Alliance. For more information, contact (814) 269-5232.
