Where do you put on your makeup? Bathroom, bedroom? Closet?
Bathroom for me We have two bathrooms, and we only really use one, so I keep my makeup in the spare bathroom (so no worries about temperature changes, since it isn't used).
Where do you put on your makeup? Bathroom, bedroom? Closet?
Bathroom for me We have two bathrooms, and we only really use one, so I keep my makeup in the spare bathroom (so no worries about temperature changes, since it isn't used).
We did it! Today concludes our feature on Make Up For Ever, and I've finally shared with you the entirety of my IMATS haul (where did you think most of this stuff came from?! thank goodness for discounts!). I hope you've enjoyed the coverage and learned a little bit about the brand!
Do you consider fragrance/perfume a must in your routine? Do you wear the same one? Different ones all the time?
I wear them occasionally, and they're usually different. I'm trying to be more consistent with them, though!
We're just about finished with 30 Days of Make Up For Ever, and it sure has been a ride, yeah? Lots of products covered, albeit skewed towards the eyes for sure. (But really, did you expect anything less from me?!) I thought I'd give some of my thoughts on the overall brand based on my experience thus far, as well as tell you about some of my must-haves from what I've tried.
A lot of people have asked me throughout the past month whether Make Up For Ever eyeshadows are better than MAC's. The short answer? No. The long answer? At times, but other times, no. What Make Up For Ever excels at is matte eyeshadows. Their shimmer eyeshadows just don't do it for me — they tend to feel a little flat. It'll be a green shadow with green or silver shimmer. There's just not enough contrast, change in tone, subtleties or what-have-you. Their matte eyeshadows, on the other hand, are extremely pigmented, smooth, and fairly easy to use.
I think MAC makes a mean frost/shimmery shade. A good MAC shadow is just as good as a good Make Up For Ever eyeshadow. MAC's biggest issue is that it just isn't consistent, particularly with limited edition eyeshadows. Some of MAC's matte eyeshadows are amazing, but their variety is a lot more limited compared to Make Up For Ever's. MAC's permanent line of eyeshadows is also pretty good and fairly consistent as well — I just find a lot less consistency and overall quality in some of the limited edition launches.
Make Up For Ever also offers a lot of bright, intensely pigmented shades that MAC doesn't offer. One really great thing about Make Up For Ever's eyeshadows is that even if you buy them off of Sephora, so they're in individual compacts, they're all magnetic and can be popped out like it's no big deal. No depotting necessary! Make Up For Ever eyeshadows are larger with 0.08 oz. of product for $19.00, compared to MAC, which are 0.05 oz. for $14.50, which does make Make Up For Ever cheaper by the ounce.
Bottom line? You can't really go wrong with either brand on the whole. If MAC doesn't make the shade you're looking for, definitely consider Make Up For Ever. If you want intense pigmentation or love matte finishes, try Make Up For Ever.
Their lipglosses were less impressive, though I only tried the Glossy Full Couleur. Their Smoky Aqua Lash mascara was so-so, but it didn't make me want to switch from MAC Plushlash or Chanel Exceptionnel. I did, however, love their Aqua Eyes Liners, which are pigmented, have a nice sheen, and are long-wearing–all good things in my book! The Star Powders and Pure Pigments are nice, and I definitely prefer the Star Powders for their versatility and wearability. Pure Pigments are just a little too intense for me–just not something I'll wear often, if ever!
P.S. – Don't forget, all Make Up For Ever eyeshadows can be used as blushes, too. They are meant to be used interchangeably.
If you could revamp Chanel Glossimers, what would you change? What would you keep the same? How would you make it an even better product?
Go ahead! Ask your questions–now's the time to get product recommendations, comparisons, or just to find out how old my dog is. You can ask whatever your heart desires–beauty or otherwise–and I'll do my best to answer!
I'll be keeping an eye out on this post so I can answer questions quickly! Feel free to chime in with your answer to someone else's question, too! The more the merrier! And yes, you can ALWAYS ask a question, on this post or another post, regardless of the timing. There is no such thing as an old post!

Carroll junior gives taggers the brushoff
Sarra Humpal's 50-foot mural replaces graffiti
Thwarting graffiti turned out to be an artistic delight for Carroll High School's Sarra Phea Humpal - and she was paid $160 to do it. "I really hate graffiti," said Sarra, a junior and the school newspaper's graphic artist. "One spray ruins property, it's distasteful and ugly."
During spring break Sarra, a 6-foot 1-inch-tall 16-year-old, designed and painted a 50-foot mural over gang symbols on the back of a private-property privacy fence that faced the playground at Jones Elementary, her former school.
Property owner Ken Brunkenhoefer, 65, said police caught the taggers who had sprayed bicycle-sized symbols and vulgar words on his fence. "I had to do something with it, but smearing paint over it would stand out," said the insurance claims adjuster.
Brunkenhoefer said he "killed two birds," ridding his fence of graffiti and helping Sarra with money for her senior trip to Europe. He bought supplies - primary-colored paints that Sarra mixed into more than a dozen colors. Sarra said her height helped her paint the fence without a stool.
Brunkenhoefer is concerned that the painting could be tagged with graffiti, but said he is willing to have it repainted as necessary. He wished his next door neighbors would have their fences painted, too, so the children could enjoy them, even though his neighbors' fences haven't been tagged.
He, Sarra; her mother, Lissa Humpal; and a friend, Lauren Barker, began priming the defaced fence March 15.
"It snowballed," said Lissa Humpal, a teacher for 16 years. "The white base paint seeped through the wood and it was a lot of work brushing it thick enough into the course grooves of the wood." But Sarra remained steadfast, working daylong through Sunday when she put the final touches on 5-foot smiling flowers, butterflies and bunnies.
Many of the children and parents in his neighborhood have said they really enjoyed the painting, Brunkenhoefer said.
Onlookers appreciate the change Sarra brought to the playground. "Isn't it cool?" said Galen Hoffstadt, principal at the elementary. "I came in this weekend and went, 'Oh my gosh we have a new mural.' "
She learned Wednesday it was created by a former student.
"Sarra was always one of those great gals who believed when life gave you lemons, you should make lemonade," Hoffstadt said. "She turned that rudeness into beautiful art. What talent."
Hoffstadt e-mailed her colleagues after lunch.
"It looks like we have our own Mighty Marlin (the school's mascot) painter angel," Hoffstadt's e-mail to teachers and administrators read. "Let's say thank-you to Sarra for our delightful new view by helping her fund her trip." The principal told the faculty that an envelope for donations will be in her office until the end of the month.
The trip to London, Rome, Venice, Pompeii and Paris - all in three weeks next July - was worth having come back to school Monday with green, white and yellow acrylic paint highlights in her auburn hair, Sarra said.
"My friends were like, 'What's in your hair?' " Sarra said.
Her reply: "It's the European countryside."
Sarra always has been artistic, her mother said. While other children chalked sidewalks with hopscotch boxes, Sarra drew cartoon characters, Humpal said. "Sarra made ice-box drawings like all little kids," Humpal said, "but she didn't just color a blue house, it had three shades of blue." Sarra learned highlighting and shading skills as a sixth-grader at Grant Middle School, her mother said. "After that her drawings were always chosen for display at the art museum or the mall."
Sarra qualified last month for the state competition in the University Interscholastic League's Visual Arts Scholastic Event, coming up next month in Houston, said Tony Armadillo, her teacher in her advanced placement art design class.
Last year she won second place.
"Sarra is a great person," said Armadillo, an art teacher for 30 years, "who will bring great changes to any community."

Poor old Diana Vickers will be hiding her head under the pillow for more than one reason this Monday morning.
Not only did the former X Factor's comeback single Cinderella bomb in the charts, but she also suffered a cringeworthy wardrobe malfunction on stage at the weekend.
The 21-year-old appeared to have forgotten the bottom half of her outfit when she hit Party In The Park in Leeds yesterday.
And the perils of performing without any trousers were made clear when the Northern lass showed the audience her knickers. Oops.
[Diana Vickers' new single flops - find out what else did this week]
[Diana Vickers shows off side BOOB on album cover]
Diana, who looked stunning on stage in just a silver over-sized tee and a pair of black ankle boots styled out the fashion faux pas as she belted out her hits to the crowd.
But the Northerner's day didn't get much better after she discovered that her brand new single had managed only 76 in the charts.
She'll be hoping her album 'Music To Make Boys Cry, which is released on September 15, will have a better impact.
Speaking about her new music in a recent interview with DRAFTED magazine she said: "Music is my baby. It's so nice to get back into the swing of it all. I had a bit of a break, but the second time round feels so much better. I'm in a much better headspace now and I love this album 10 times more than my first one."

Computer graphics artists, frustrated with the synthetic look of their creations, are experimenting with techniques that mimic Darwinian evolution to achieve a more grainy realism in computer images.
At the Imagina festival of audiovisual arts in Monte Carlo late last month, Karl Sims, an animation artist, demonstrated how he has used a technique known as genetic algorithms to create complex textures, patterns and animations.
Computer scientists have begun simulating a process of evolution in computer data in an effort to find the best solutions to complex problems that would normally take a long time to solve. A number of possible solutions to the problem are treated as individual 'life forms' known as phenotypes. These are judged by a set of conditions which determines which phenotypes should survive into the next generation.
As the phenotypes move from one generation to the next, some pass through unchanged, others become extinct, while some ...

"Let all the earth keep silence before Him"taken from one of the books of the 12 minor prophets of Bible. The original was composed in Greek as a Cherubic Hymn for the Offertory of the Divine Liturgy of St James in the fourth Century AD, with local Churches adopting arrangements in Syriac and transwiki:The_Divine_Liturgy_of_Saint_James_. In modern times, the Ralph Vaughn Williams arrangement of a translation from the Greek by Gerard Moultrie to the tune of Picardy, a French medieval folk melody, popularized the hymn among Christian congregations that worship liturgically.
Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
For with blessing in His hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
Our full homage to demand.
King of kings, yet born of Mary,
As of old on earth He stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
In the body and the blood;
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heavenly food.
Rank on rank the host of heaven
Spreads its vanguard on the way,
As the Light of light descendeth
From the realms of endless day,
That the powers of hell may vanish
As the darkness clears away.
At His feet the six wingèd seraph,
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the presence,
As with ceaseless voice they cry:
Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Lord Most High!

As the debate over health care reform continues, there's no reason why your clients can't take matters into their own hands.
Advert Advertise with us
Strategy: Investigate the benefits of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). Although these tax-favored accounts have been slow to catch on with the public, it might make sense for some clients. If it does, have them sign up for an HSA, whether or not health care reform is enacted.
Recent tax-law changes have improved HSAs, so they've become more attractive to a wider range of taxpayers.
Background information: The HSA is often called an "individual retirement account" (IRA) for medical expenses. Contributions can be deducted above the line or an employer can make tax deductible contributions on behalf of employees - or both.
As with a regular IRA, there's no current income tax on the earnings within the account. Furthermore, distributions are completely tax-free if the funds are used to pay for qualified medical expenses. However, taxable distributions are hit with a 10 percent tax penalty if they are made before reaching age 59 1/2.
Who can qualify for an HSA? They are available to anyone who is not yet eligible for Medicare (i.e., someone under age 65), participates in a high-deductible plan, and does not receive coverage under another health insurance plan. For 2009, a "high deductible" plan is defined as a plan with a deductible of at least $1,150 and out-of-pocket maximum of no more than $5,800 for individual coverage; a deductible of at least $2,300 and out-of-pocket maximum of no more than $11,600 for family coverage. These limits are indexed for inflation.
Key point: For 2009, the maximum deductible HSA contributions are $3,000 for individuals; $5,950 for family coverage. (These figures are also adjusted for inflation.) In addition, a catch-up contribution of $1,000 is permitted for individuals age 55 or over (see chart for the HSA limits for the past five years).
Note that a 2006 law also authorizes certain tax-free rollovers to an HSA (see box, below).
HSA rollovers: A once-in-a-lifetime breakNormally, a taxpayer must pay tax at ordinary income rates when he or she takes a distribution from an IRA.
Strategy: Roll over funds from an IRA to an HSA. A one-time rollover is exempt from income tax as well as the 10% penalty tax that might otherwise apply to a taxpayer who is under age 59 1/2.
This method of funding an HAS - which was authorized by another 2006 tax-law change - is particularly beneficial for someone who is nearing retirement or has already retired. The maximum amount that may be rolled over is limited to the maximum HSA contribution allowed for the year.
Note that a taxpayer can roll over funds tax-free from an IRA into an HSA only once.
What happens to unused funds in an HSA? Any amount left over at the end of the year may be used to pay medical expenses in future years. Thanks to the higher annual contribution limits, employees can now accumulate even more in their accounts.
Advisory: This is a significant edge HSAs have over flexible spending accounts (FSAs) for health care expenses. Under the "use-it-or-lose-it" FSA feature, any amount remaining in your account at the end of the year is forfeited after a 2 1/2 - month grace period.
HSA limits continue to rise
The IRS adjusts the limits for HSAs on an annual basis. Here's a capsule summary of the past five years.
out-of-pocket maximum $5,100/ $5,250/ $5,500/ $5,600/ $5,800/ (self/family) $10,200 $10,500 $11,000 $11,200 $11,600

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
nice music Great phisycs
kobe ...you're the best
This gen 2K defintely has been better.. With the exception of Live 09, it gave 2K a lil run for its money.. But everybody still ended up wit 2K
hahaha Derick fishers number really is upside down cant wait for 2k10 its definitely better than ea. has been for 2 years.
good and fantastic and i think this time ea will face a rear defeat
its funny how 2K Sports competes every year with EA Sports. I think that EA will be paved by 2K Sports this year in the NBA 10 vs NBA 2K10 Battle.
thats really retarded... kanye west has nothing to do with basketball. his new music sucks anyway i dont care how many thumbs down i get, auto-tune is the death of hip hop. bring back the old kanye.......... oh and by the way.... at 00:36 what the hell is pau still doin at the other end of the court!? slacker!!!
It's really amazing!
awesome vid, i hate nba live i always buy 2k games!
[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
Amazing (feat. young Jeezy) btw
texasjgc what the **** is wrong with you? thats like the nba playoff "theme" song, if you appreciate basketball, you'd understand why that song is perfect with this trailer
Looks like a great game....However did they have to couple that nice video with an unintelligent sounding, and all out retarded rap "song".......So annoying....Thank God for the MUTE button.
fisher num is not upside down
looks great...but fisher number is upside down....lol
I encouraging you all people online now that play basketball because its easy and you will have more fun !!!!!!!!!!
[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
I like the Trailer except for the part where Kobe "CARRIED" the ball up court, Fisher number is upside down, how Kobe is extra black in the color scheme and how Eric Gordon looks like Air Gordon. *LOL* I like the trailer nonetheless.
been a 2k fan since the first one on dreamcast. the 2k series even with its little bugs and glitches has wiped the floor with live since its conception. This game is short of amazing. All the new animations implemented too. Oof. Gonna be a doozie indeed! hi2 association mode \o/
[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
i love basketball, im from the uk and i support chester jets all the way, but my favourite american basketball team is the chicago bulls, because my auntie got me a little red hoosy with the logo on when i was 10 or something. ive tried a few of these games on the pc but i just hate them, the graphics are awsome but the hud is just bollocks and also i hate the controlls, they need to get full support and for the 360 controller with images to go along.
This trailer is the reason why I just got Kanye's album the song and this trailer goes hand in hand, if it isn't hand in hand my bad my english is no good :)
I cant wait for this one and for next season to start!!!! Purple and Gold!
loooooool its so freaking amazing this new nba 2k!
Amazing can't wait to get this
will the graphics be the same on ps3, xbox 360° and pc?
this going to be sick i got 09 and that was as well and that was really good
hmmmmm well hopefully 2K10 is better dan live cuz i have played live for the longest time and you can say im getttin tired of its ish lol
2k9 was not the worst 2k game..it was far better than 2k8 where u couldnt make a lay-up half the time..2k has been good with fixing wat needs to b fixed in their games...i expect them to do the same with 2k10...better AI and definitely fixing the level of difficulty (i played a game when the comp shot 75% from the field how do u win that)
I agree...2k9 is a cool game but sometimes it gets a lot frustrating for bad AI. And that includes real slow response while dribbling and stupid stuff like players standing out of bounds waiting to recive the ball, or when you pick a play, they simply WALK to their positions and ruins all the game momentum
I will start off by saying I am an NBA Guru. It's really the only type of gaming i truly do. I have been with 2k basketball since 2k5, unfortunetly there last effort 2k9 dissapointed me big time and thought to myself this is the worst game they have put togther since 2k4 or what ever it was. I used to play EA Live untill 2k5. You know I made up excuses for the first two nex gen basketball games 2k8 and 2k9 but no more excuses. If they do not show me what a real nex gen basketball game is then i will jus stop buying all together because i don't want to sit around and get pissed of at stupid stuff happening in the game. Live needs to re - do there hole game cuz it sux! for 2k, 2k jus needs to tweak a few things, and better graphics or looks is always an amazing asset and one of the reasons anyone plays NBA games now a days. In 2K10 I am looking for a better gamepplay feel, no dribbling out of control, the dribbling must be quicker and more persice. did anybody notice that doing any moves in 2k9 was like almost impossible. Little things like having an on the fly coach mode ( not seen ) since the early games and the game play when on coach mode must be smooth, i mean you've got guys running out of bounds and doing stupid stuff... and some of the moves jus don't happen in the NBA and look poor. So 2K10 , Let's make the anniversary 2k10 the best basketball game ever. please revamp my feelings toward your game after such dissapointment with 2K9 tho still playable. thanx
I know people on here are going to hate me for this, but that does not look like Kobe Bryant from the shoulders up and the waist down nor do those shoes resemble the Kobe IV's, but this is way better than Live. The gameplay looks authentic though.
Great Game!!
Looks preety nice
This game is a total buy!!! if it has (and most probably have) the WiFi capabilities it will go a long way to improve its replay value!!! BTW Erik Gordon got owned even in a video game trailer haha XD
2K10 will be AMAZING indeed, hit me up on PSN, i'm (KILLZONE--365) add me so i can show y'all my amazingness............ lmfao => Laughing my F***ing azs off...................................
Draft combine is nice, this is going to better than 2k9, hit me up xb360 qd3 :-)
my nicca kobe on the front thats a plus right there and then 2k knows the objective and thats to get as close to nba b ball as possible and they damn near there i remember catching a glimpse of 2k9 from a distant and i mistook it for a real game and just check out there trailer compared to lives live had all those special lights and gimmicks u know dwight howard shooting fadeaway jumpers and fading hooks and shyt then u look at 2k's tralier and they simply have kobe bringing up the ball which he does from time to time and doing a shot he actually did last season now thats doing your homework
OMG NBA 2k10 i want it so much
its awesome
Less than 2 months to go!!!
I just can't wait for this game! :)
WOW!!!! this game looks awesome, can't wait.
This is the best basketball game I ever seen! Very realistic, nice game play and by the way: LAKERS ARE THE BEST AND THEY GONNA REPEAT AS CHAMPS AGAIN!!!!

It has been over two decades since "The Trip," and yet I still quiver with a mere memory of it. Although I retain fond memories of the journey, my heart begins to palpitate as I put these words on paper. It's likely a case of mind over matter.
The Trip occurred in the early days of my career as a guide. It began innocently enough, with a request from an old friend who asked if I would be willing to guide a group of aspiring Adirondack '46ers. They were concerned with a proposed plan to knock off three trail-less peaks in a single day, including a round trip of more than 20 miles, over wet and muddy trails.
My friend assured me, the ladies were all in good shape, and they had aspired to become members of the fabled Adirondack '46ers, an organization of outdoor enthusiasts who have climbed all of the High Peaks.
Their plan was to climb Panther Mountain, Santanoni Peak, and Couchsachraga Peak, located in the southern reaches of the High Peaks Wilderness Area.
Santanoni, the highest of their proposed peaks at 4,607 feet, is believed to have been named after the Abenaki pronunciation for Saint Anthony, a common term among the French traders and missionaries who once traveled the region. By the time the group eventually reached the mountain summit, I was busy doing some praying of my own.
Couchsaraga, which is considered a High Peak despite an elevation of only 3,820 feet, draws its name from an Algonquin term which roughly translates as "dismal wilderness." By the end of The Trip, it was a most appropriate description for a guide's view of the hill.
Panther Mountain's moniker speaks for itself, and although its elevation is listed at 4,442 feet, it proved to be the easiest of the batch.

Editor's NoteThe children's cable network Nickelodeon fashions an American spin on Japanese anime with their original series AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER. On a futuristic Earth torn between the warring elements of Air, Earth, Water, and Fire, only one special being known as the Avatar can bring peace to the conflicted planet. The trouble is, the Avatar is an immature 12-year-old boy called Aang, who would rather wander the world having fun-filled adventures than settle down and face his heroic destiny. Ably blending kids-oriented comedy with martial-arts action/adventure worthy of its Japanese counterparts, the BOOK OF FIRE begins with the invasion of Fire Nation and ends with a climactic battle with Firelord Oza. This collection presents all 20 episodes of the third series.

Customer Reviews of Avatar-Last Airbender Complete Book 3 Box Set
I had watched the movie, The Last Air Bender, first. I wasn't impressed. So, I didn't think the animated series would be any good. I couldn't be more wrong. I was so addicted to the series that I recommended it to all my friends. It's an incredible animation/cartoon. The characters seem so real--I felt the emotions from their voices and character expressions. I've never seen a cartoon that could move me with feelings, like those expressions found with real people, as this cartoon did for me. The stories were so touching--war and peace, love and hate, anger and happiness, caring and carelessness, worried and emotionless, motherly and fatherly, family and individualism, people and the environment, conflict and serenity, and so many more feelings and emotions that we face as human beings. This tv series of three seasons made me smile and sad at the same time. It makes you want to know more about the story; but I guess the wonders in all of us of what happens after season 3 is what captures our imagination. The story can go on forever, but the first three seasons made it all worthwhile. I will miss all the voices and all the characters of this show. I think every person should learn from this show as to what being human is all about in this world. It was an honor to watch this show thanks to all those involved in making this series. Congrats... Great Job. I love the show.
Another great DC animated series8/9/2013

A sensory exhibition of art, installation & photography
AboutThis mixed media exhibition takes you on a sensory exploration through a world in a state of perpetual autumn. Showcasing the unique vision of Shoreditch based graphic artist and illustrator Renaud C. Haslan, The Belfry provides a suitably secretive space within this Grade 1 listed church. Candlelit and filled with sound effects, he layers photography, graphic design, installation and poetry to form a multi-dimensional experience. Haslan's vision is one of texture and ambience, creating a reverence for all things that decline and decay. Signs and symbols of nature's end of year transformation create a sense of the sacred. Within a rich, autumnal colour palate and textural detail, you'll see woodland totems, a tree of keys and images of nature's landscape. Inspired by the effect the elements have on natural materials, he manages to capture and hold up to admiration moments of nature's dissolution; the beauty of lichen on rock, rust on iron, crumbling veins on leaves. Within his artistic hands, all is infused with a sense of melancholy, and sepia photography idolises moments of the past. Adding another layer to the experience is wordsmith and collaborator Joanna Vale. Hand scripted words are woven into the artworks, while story fragments from recorded voices add an element of mystery that feels compelled to be solved. The spirit of autumn is present throughout the exhibition, immersing you in echoes of a lost world.

nobody out there other than some random players like yourself as saying that is a requirement for a MMORPG not have twitch skills that is silly. You might not like it and that is fine but they DO exist in MMORPG no matter how hard you try to say that they are not.
And RV is a camper...give it up, dont be that guy
ADDED: using your logic you would have to inject some new logic as to why this is true for an MMO but not true for a single player game. without doing so you would be saying that TES is not an RPG.....kinda hard to resolve.

I'm sorry, but you're old enough to know better, and to know that FPS gameplay was a part of oldschool RPG's. In fact the very first MMO ever made, Meridian 59 was not played in 3rd person perspective, and I'm pretty sure it used skill based combat.
A lot of oldschool D&D games were played from first person perspective. FPS does not mean there NO dice rolls, and that is only part of the "RPG" arguement you got going for you. Many people that played in my P&P gaming session would indeed play from the "perspective" of their character.
Or have you never heard of a LARP? They're as much an RPG as any P&P one and you certianly aren't playing from an outside perspective, and many of them do not use any dice rolls to determine who wins in combat.
Stop making up excuses and just get to the point of it.
YOU don't like skill based combat. That's fine, nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is the need to justify what you like or dislike by making false claims about what an RPG is.

Activating skills is no more active then any other game. Believe it or not, GW2 combat is no more active then WoW.
The GI article compared it to WoW in it's feel and movement. They're just trying to quell some of the negativety that arose from people reading that and going WTF, that's not how ES combat worked. So they've changed wording and are now calling it "active" or "action" combat.
WoW is also active and action combat because you're constantly running around kitting, closing gaps, or trying to get behind your target.
There's nothing wrong with WoW style combat, it's one of the things that made WoW a good game. There is something wrong with trying to wordsmith things to give an impression that something is more then it is, and that's what they're doing now.
And no, I do not need to play it or see gameplay to understand what they're describing.

1. No, they are running on a deficit of integrity at the moment. they will have to pull themselves out of so any statement now starts at a deficit instead of gifting surplus like you are suggesting we do.
2. People really dont play TES for the combat in the first place I dont follow why they are trying to make that the focus. I am not saying combat should be good, I am saying its not a key focused feature.
3. They will have a really hard time beating Darkfall on the combat front.

Most of your bid budget games aren't even doing DX10, to say nothing of DX11. and no, "high res texture packs" are not taking advantage of the latest tech.

I've seen the combat, it's like a floaty version of GW2 mixed with Neverwinter. It is not Elder Scrolls by any stretch of the imagination, not even 3rd person Elder Scrolls.
For me, it isn't just the combat that bothers me, but that is a big part of it. If they gave use Skyrim combat with a couple of improvements (hotbar is totally fine for ancillary abilities like potions and switching weapons/spells as opposed to having to pause during a fight) I could overlook the game's other shortcomings.
As for Darkfall, I disagree, I think they could take combat similar to that and refine the hell out of it. Darkfall has a major flaw in its combat system and that is the 40%+ damage to the back mechanic. It turns every melee fight into a figure-eight sticky-backing sprint-off. It's not fun and it's not visceral, it's like playing ring around the rosey until someone bleeds to death or runs out of stamina. And it just looks...dumb to anyone watching.
The combat I'd rather they look at for inspiration is Mortal Online, much more deliberate, weighty and visceral when it comes to melee. Plus, and weapon you use or spell you cast can also be used from a mount. And it is exclusively first-person. Darkfall switched to 3rd person for melee which to me was kind of silly.
With so many team members and so much money they could take a hybrid of the two systems and make them a hell of a lot more fun.
There are plenty of other problems with ESO but combat, and the interactivity that should be paired with it, is central to gameplay in any MMO. One does a LOT of fighting in MMOs in general and anything short of what I just described would get so boring to me so fast.
Originally posted by Entinerint
on your darkfall statement things like how much damage is done from the back and how much damage a spell does is extreemly easy to change. What is not easy to change is the physical mechanics, physics, collision etc. Once that is done, the rest is about as hard as text edit on an XML file.

Protecting 'the people who took care of use'
Published: Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 8:16 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 8:16 a.m.
When Marie-Therese Connolly describes suspicious-looking bruises on the elderly, she sounds like a forensic expert on CSI.
Bruises on the neck, head, inner thigh, genitalia and soles of the feet are often inflicted and can be telltale signs of elder abuse, one of the most hidden problems in the nation, she says.
" If we can help people understand how to tell the difference between an accidental bruise and an inflicted bruise, that's a beginning," says Connolly, director of Life Long Justice, a Washington, D.C., non-profit group dedicated to advocating justice for the elderly. " Advancing forensic knowledge is important so social and protective services workers, physicians, emergency room personnel and prosecutors know what to look for and what kinds of questions to ask about injuries."
Perhaps no one has done more to address the problem and bring about change. In naming Connolly, 54, a 2011 MacArthur Fellow in September, the MacArthur Foundation announced that " she is a leading voice to prevent the suffering of older adults and ensure that elder abuse becomes a priority on the national agenda."
The $500,000 grant is allowing the former Department of Justice attorney to write a book on the subject and continue her work crisscrossing the country giving speeches and working with a handful of university and other programs to push for change.
" It's a big help," she says. Since leaving her job and moving into an advocacy role three years ago, she has not drawn a salary.
" The fact that a respected entity like the MacArthur Foundation decided this is an issue worth investing in is a real game-changer," says Connolly. " It is an epidemic and will only become bigger as the 77 million Baby Boomers age."
Most cases not reported
Preying on the elderly comes in many forms: physical, sexual and/or financial. It happens at home, in communities and in nursing homes. One in 10 healthy adults over age 60 are victims, according to phone surveys done by the National Institute on Justice. Among adults with dementia, a study done by University of California-Irvine shows 47 percent cared for by family members are abused or neglected. As many as 96 percent of cases go unreported, Connolly says.
" She wants people to know we're morally responsible to take care of the people who took care of us," says Laura Mosqueda, a physician and director of the program in geriatrics at the University of California-Irvine School of Medicine.
" She really single-handedly, through the power of intelligence, persuasion and personality, launched the conversation on the issues."
Connolly thinks most people ignore elder abuse.
" I can't think of another issue that affects more people in this country where less is being done," she says. " Programs for child abuse and domestic violence are decades ahead."
One reason it trails those issues: Mistreatment of the elderly can be hard to detect because the elderly often bruise and fracture more easily than young people, so we don't ask questions we otherwise might, she says. They also might not report abuse because the abuser is nearby or they fear being sent to a nursing home if they complain about a caregiver.
Nursing homes are another area in which Connolly's well-studied. She says some people would rather be abused at home than be sent to a nursing home.
She started working in the elder justice field in the late 1990s, cooordinating the Department of Justice's Elder Justice and Nursing Home Initiative, created in response to reports of serious problems in California nursing homes. She developed legal strategies and ways to use data to prosecute cases of neglect and abuse in the facilities.
Also, while working in the Department of Justice, she embraced forensics and research. " We know little about how best to detect, respond to or prevent elder abuse," she says. So she organized the first forum on elder abuse forensics and, with the National Institute of Justice, launched what she says is the only grant program to fund elder abuse research. Among other things, it paid for the bruising studies.
Connolly conceived of and helped draft the Elder Justice Act, the first federal legislation to address elder abuse. It was signed into law in 2010 as part of the Affordable Care Act but awaits funding. Without the money and implementation, there can be no new programs or infrastructure at national and local levels.
" She's tireless and a shining star for these causes," says Risa Breckman, an assistant professor of geriatric social work at Weill Cornell Medical College.
Connolly stepped up her fight for funding in March. She testified before the Senate Special Committee on Aging, saying, " Elder justice has never been assigned true priority on the national agenda with resources to match. And the fallout from this deficit are evident everywhere."
Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., chairman of the Special Committee on Aging, replied in an e-mail about future funding for elder justice:
" There's no doubt that spending must be reined in, but protecting seniors — a vulnerable and rapidly growing segment of our society — from abuse is a fundamental responsibility. At the heart of the bipartisan elder justice initiative are needed resources for the state agencies that provide the front line response to physical abuse and complex cases of senior financial exploitation."
She got 'hooked' on law
Connolly almost did not study law. She wanted to follow her parents into medicine. Both came to the United States to practice at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. She planned to follow her mother's path into psychiatry but changed her mind while taking a law school class in mental health at Stanford.
" I began to learn about the countless riveting, impossible, shameful and heartbreaking issues at the intersection of public health, vulnerability and the law," she says.
She got her law degree from Northeastern University School of Law. Understanding law, she thought, would allow her to help change policy. " I was hooked," she says.
She married a lawyer who also helps the elderly. They met through mutual friends and wed in 1989. Dan Kohrman is a senior attorney with the AARP Foundation. They have three children, Fiona, 21, Nathan, 18, and Gabriel, 16.
Despite busy careers, Connolly found time to teach workshops at her children's school on writing and poetry, and her husband coached soccer. At home, conversations at the breakfast table can be intense at times.
" We work on different aspects of advancing civil rights and justice for older people," she says. " I learn a lot from his perspective."
Kohrman was one of the litigators in a class action filed by people with mobility and disability issues against the California Department of Transportion, which delivered a $1.1 billion settlement.
" A lot of what we talk about is why is it in America we have great respect for our elders but we're not doing a lot to protect them when they grow old and frail," says Kohrman.
At the March Senate hearing, actor Mickey Rooney, 88, testified about mistreatment by family members. Connolly cited the case of Ruby Wise, whose son Chris Wise was prosecuted in 2010 for neglecting her. She died covered in feces and bedsores, weighing 72 pounds at a home they shared in Seattle. Her son used earplugs to block out her screams and moans for help. He was convicted of manslaughter.
" We are all looking down the barrel of aging," says Connolly. " But our culture is not enthusiastic about embracing it. We need to focus, not just on the clubs and cruises aspect of aging, but also the frailty and incapacity pieces of it, and have the conversations to prepare ourselves, both in our personal lives and as a nation."

Was the Gonzalez trade a good one? We'll let you know ... in about 2014
If Kelly, Rizzo and Fuentes can become long-term contributors — or even two of the three — the Padres will eventually be able to view the Gonzalez deal as a net gain. Baseball trades tend to be evaluated initially on the basis of talent exchanged, but the more telling tally involves contractual control. Ultimately, the Padres had to weigh whether one year of Adrian Gonzalez was worth more than three high-end prospects nowhere near free agency.
Ultimately, the Padres had to decide whether to stake everything on one big season or to hedge their bets and build. It says here that they chose wisely.
Monday afternoon, during a lull in their Winter Program for prospects, the Padres helped attach faces to some of the new names, opening the clubhouse to professional busybodies for introductory interrogations with some of their phenoms.
"Adrian Gonzalez definitely meant a lot to this organization, did a lot for them," said Casey Kelly, the right-handed pitcher whose athleticism reminds McLeod of John Smoltz. "You really can't replace a guy like that. Good thing I don't have to play first base and hit home runs."
Anthony Rizzo, who plays first base and hit 20 home runs for Double-A Portland last season, said he would not try to fill Gonzalez's shoes but is "just trying to make my own shoes." Having come through Hodgkin's Lymphoma to be declared cancer-free, Rizzo carries himself like a man who recognizes a reprieve.
"If he never plays a day in the major leagues, he's got the best makeup of any player I've ever been around," McLeod said. "His teammates look up to him. He's just a great person, a quality human being."
If Kelly and Rizzo never play a day in the major leagues, the Adrian Gonzalez deal will look like a disaster. Today, it's too soon to tell. The rationale, however, was right.

This is another well made Mag Switch product.
However, be careful to notice that the orientation of the "feathers" on this unit do NOT allow use with the rip fence in the usual position to the RIGHT of the saw blade (and waste to LEFT of blade). The feathers only allow use with rip fence to LEFT of blade and waste to RIGHT of blade. What???
It could also be used to provide downward pressure IF your rip fence is metal.

Bank heist suspect sought
WADESVILLE Police are searching for an armed man who robbed the Fifth Third Bank branch here Tuesday morning after claiming he had attached a bomb to the door.
The man escaped in a white Dodge Caravan, but only after abandoning all or most of the money when a red dye pack in the money exploded just outside the bank, said Posey County Sheriff Jim Folz. No bomb was found.
Folz said the suspect walked in at 9:15 a.m., told the tellers he had placed a bomb, then asked for a specific amount of money. That amount was not revealed. He reportedly was armed with a semiautomatic handgun.
During a news briefing outside the bank less than two hours after the robbery, Folz asked for the public's help in finding the suspect. He is described as a white man about 60 years old, six-feet tall, wearing a gray or charcoal-colored shirt. He had a ski mask over his face.
The man, his clothes and his car also were likely stained by the red dye, Folz said, which can remain on a surface or a person for days.
"If they notice this red dye on him, call it in immediately," Folz said. "If it's possible to get a plate number off the vehicle, please do so. Anything he touches is going to have that red dye on it. It's very hard to get off."
The Posey County Sheriff's Department can be reached at 838-1320.
The first call reporting the robbery was from one of the four tellers inside the bank, who called on a cell phone from the bank's vault. Folz said the bank's normal procedure is for tellers to retreat to the vault for safety during or after a robbery.
No patrons were inside the bank during the robbery, although one customer who pulled up during it followed the suspect briefly before losing him, Folz said.
Police officials with the Posey County Sheriff's Department, Indiana State Police and the FBI worked on the investigation. Officers were canvassing the area surrounding the bank and monitoring Indiana 66 for cars matching the suspect's.
"No one was hurt. We have the money, now we just want the suspect," Folz said.
Detectives were still counting the money recovered outside the bank Tuesday afternoon, but Folz said they believe the suspect did not escape with any of it.
Indiana State Police collected the bank's surveillance video, and detectives were reviewing it Tuesday afternoon, Folz said.
The suspect reportedly left the bank, which is located on Aubrey Lane, near the intersection of Indiana 66 and Indiana 165, eastbound on Indiana 66.

Dividend yield or dividend growth?
My entry yield requirement has ranged from a low of 2% in 2008 to a high of 3% since 2009. After analyzing some of the most successful dividend stocks such as Wal-Mart (WMT), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), McDonald's (MCD) and Becton Dickinson (BDX) I have come to realize that a minimum yield requirement could have been a detriment to acquiring those stocks when they first became dividend achievers.
Stocks such as Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) never really yielded more than 3% until 2008 for example. As a result I would have missed on strong double digit dividend growth for several decades, which would have surely turned the yield on cost on original investments into the triple digits. A company that yields 2% currently but manages to raise distributions by 12% due to strong earnings growth would double the yield on cost in 6 years.
It seems that a more flexible approach would be to analyze the average yields investors could have received over the past decade and then decide whether it makes sense to purchase the stock based on valuation and earnings power. In this sense making sure not to pay over twenty times earnings or accepting an unreasonably high dividend payout is very important.
Another thing to do is to simply ignore current yield altogether and instead focus on the fundamentals, while evaluating whether the company could reasonably expect to boost distributions for the next decade. A company with a yield lower than 3% would definitely have to have an average dividend growth of at least ten percent.
While I would ignore current yield, I could still create a dividend portfolio where I try to obtain an average current dividend yield of 3% or 4%. This could be achieved by grouping high yielding stocks with low yielding dividend growth stocks. The high yielding stocks typically are slow growing and would provide current income. The low yielding stocks would have a growth component, which would ensure purchasing power protection from inflation. If an investor decides to create a diversified dividend portfolio with 40 individual stocks in it, they could purchase 20 dividend growth stocks yielding 2% or 3% on average and 20 stocks which yield 5% - 6% on average in order to obtain a portfolio yield of 4% for example. Examples of high yielding stocks that could used in this strategy include Realty Income (O), master limited partnerships such as Kinder Morgan Energy (KMP) ,utilities companies such as Con Edison (ED) or telecom firms such as AT&T (T).
To summarize, investors do not need to choose between yield and dividend growth. Instead, they could create portfolios where they take advantage of both.

Hi! Thanks for a very good blog.ReplyDelete
One site(don't remember which though) presented an idéa that one would like to achive a YOC for lets say 10 % within a certain amount of time - 10 years could be suiteful.
To decide if the combination of dividend yield and dividend growth will achieve such a target, this forumla can be used for your excel spreadsheet:
Years until 10% YOC
= LOG(10%/Dividend Yield)/LOG(1+Dividend Growth)
Example1 JnJ:
= LOG(0,1/0,036)/LOG(1+0,15)=8,1 years
Example2 CINF:
= LOG(0,1/5,92)/LOG(1+0,11)=4,8 years
So for this example CINF is the clear winner in spite of its lower divident growth.
I personaly aim to use 10% YOC within 10 years as a target before investing
Best Regards

According to my Fidelity account, KMP has a payout ratio of 281%. I'm not sure that it's correct, but if it is, wouldn't you consider that too high?
I think you've mentioned that certain types of companies will have higher payout ratios, but I was thinking that was a bit high... or Fidelity calculates it incorrectly.
If you could provide a clarification, I'd appreciate it.
In any case, great posts. I've been a long time follower of your blog and I'd like to thank you for all the great information you've discussed.
Maybe this is waht you are refering to:
KMP does have a high diviend payout ratio. The issue is that as a master limited partneship it distributes all of its earnings to partners. I think that cash flow is a more important measure for MLPs. Over the past decade the distribution payout ratio has been rather stable between 50% and 60%. For this company I used the ratio of current cash flow/unit to the annual distribution/unit.
Good post. I think if you buy great stocks; established, "branded" companies, you can have your cake and eat it too.ReplyDelete
Great article, as a novice just learning the game its good to understand the thought process that goes into making a purchasing decision on a dividend producing stock. It definitely create a situation where I need to diligently decide what my criteria will be. I appreciate your perspective.ReplyDelete

An emerging high yield investment vehicle in Canada is the mutual fund trust ("MFT").ReplyDelete
A MFT is RRSP, RESP, LIRA eligible in Canada. In addition to RRSP eligibility, MFTs have certain tax advantages to standard corporations and are typically deemed to be "flow-through" vehicles. Private mutual funds trusts are gaining in popularity in Canada following the changes to tax legislation which forced many publicly traded royalty trusts to convert back into corporations. Investors seeking the high yields typically associated with the public royalty trusts are increasingly investing in private MFTs - particularly in the energy sector.
The MFT structure is frequently used to create investment holding vehicles for "non-reporting" issuers in Canada due to the tax efficiency and simplicity of creating eligibility for registered plans (RRSP, RESP, LIRA etc) without having to go to the cost of creating a public company. Some examples of Canadian non-reporting issuers utilizing the MFT structure are:
* Mineral Fields
* Enervue
* Mosaic Diversified Income Fund
* Agcapita Farmland Investment Partnership
* Petrocapita Income Trust
* Walton International
* Prestigious Properties
I have to admit that at the moment, I do care about a decent yield and growth. Don't be mistaken though as I am not just after the yield but if I have the choice between 2 companies I like, I will go towards a higher yield for a faster compound growth. Examples are CPG, JE.UN, REI.UN, CUF.UN. It's a bit of a balancing act as I still want the aristocrat with 50 years of dividends and growth. I start them on a DRIP with Transfer Agents.ReplyDelete
I look at dividend yield as an indicator of valuation. For example if a stock's price falls it's dividend yield goes up since dividends don't change as often as price. Screening for a reasonable dividend yield (like between 4-8%) usually results in stocks trading near their long terms lows. An unusually high dividend yield can signal a dividend cut since the "smart money" dumps the stock before the dividend cut announcement.ReplyDelete
I look at dividend growth as a litmus test for dividend stock investing. The stock must have dividend growth to continue analysis.

The Colorado Rockies will have a new manager next season, and it could be a familiar face. Troy Renck of the Denver Post writes that veteran first baseman Jason Giambi "remains a candidate for the Rockies' manager job until he's ruled out." According to Renck, the team hasn't decided whether to stay in-house or go outside the organization, so it's possible that Giambi will interview this week. Among the outside the organization candidates, the Rockies are interested in Sandy Alomar Jr., Tim Wallach and Brad Ausmus. The veteran slugger hit .225/.372/.303 with 1 HR, 8 RBI's and a 74 OPS+ in 113 plate appearances for the Rockies this season. Image by Keith Allison under the Creative Commons License Agreement.
