When I first bought Essence's Liquid Waterproof Eyeliner, I didn't know what to expect. I had only used kohl pencils before and didn't know if I would be able to work with a liquid liner. Since it was also very cheap, I didn't expect much of it.
It took me some practice, but I easily learned how to create that perfect glance. The black color is a lot more intense than those good old kohl pencils and the applicator is quite easy! I like how it's solid but also flexible (=perfect!). The eyeliner also lives up to the promise of being waterproof. If I rub my eyes, the eyeliner might flake off a bit, but stays put in general.
The only downside of this product is that you can't avoid spilling some eyeliner on your eyelashes (or face), since it's liquid. I don't mind that much and just take the excess eyeliner away. It even looks a bit like I've put on mascara, so two for the price of one, hehe!
Based on my experience, I would totally recommend this eyeliner. I love the quality, especially for such a low price! It's the only liquid eyeliner I've ever used and I'm so content I keep buying it over and over!

This is an underrated liquid eyeliner but it is a holy grail product to me! I work for 8 hours and this liquid eyeliner works and stays all day without smudging and it can be removed easily as well (with makeup remover). The price won't hurt you. In terms of applying the product - it can be watery and it takes time to dry but it doesn't matter to me. Overall, it is a great product!!! Highly recommended.

I like this eyeliner it's pigmented and easy to use the only thing I don't like about it is that it seems to have a slightly runny consistency so be sure to wipe some of the excess off on a tissue before applying I'd say that it needs to be touched up every 4 hours or so

Wow. This is the ultimate matte liquid liner formula! It's the most opaque it could be, it doesn't crease or wrinkle or flake, and it lasts a long while. The downside I've found is the brush tip just sucks for fine application and doesn't draw a line of consistent thickness. Now don't judge me for still giving this 5 lippies with that issue, because it's just simpler for me to use an angled eyeliner brush to apply this than stress about the bad applicator for this wonderful product.
This stuff is amazing and inexpensive. My new favorite black liquid eyeliner.

I will add my love for this liner. It's not the only one I ever use, but that's because I get board sometimes. When I need very black, long wearing, easy-to-use liner, it's my absolute go-to! I have used every high and low end Iiquid liner out there and this is better than almost any I've used. Takes a bit to dry, but boy does it stay in place. Dirt cheap as a bonus!! Love it greatly!!

I have to say I love the Essence Liquid Waterproof Eyeliner. I have nothing but good to say about this product. There are many more pros for me than cons. Pros: -Truly black in color -Dries matte -Super affordable, under 4 dollars usually. -Small so great for travelling -Great amount of product for the price. (Most drugstore liners of same/similar size are anywhere from 7-12 dollars) -Easy to remove -Fixing slight mistakes are easy as it doesn't dry too fast but doesn't take long. Cons: -Would be good if the brush was a small bit thinner. (I am someone who likes thinner eyeliner and I do not do a cat or winged liner look) -Only available in Canada at Shoppers Drug mart and seems like it's only available at Ulta in the US. Overall, as someone who likes thin and very black eyeliner, I love this one! It's a makeup must have. The fact that it doesn't leave a shadow of any sort on your eye after removable is the best part of all! I will repurchase!

I picked this up after seeing all the great reviews here, and I would agree that it is a pretty decent eyeliner - especially because of the price.
The formula is rather thick and it dries down to a deep matte black. It does not smudge or transfer (ok, maybe just a tiny smidge) and it is very waterproof. You can rub it and run water over it and it will not move. I wore it for 14 hours yesterday - I went to work and the gym, and it held up all day. By the end of day, the formula was starting to break apart and flake off but its pretty impressive since I have oily lids, and I did not use primer.
This has a felt tip applicator, and it is not the thinnest tip so it is better suited to drawing thicker lines. I manage to get a sharper wing by using the tip of my nail to pull out the wing before the formula dries.
Packaging looks a bit childish, but it is small, compact and does the job so I can't complain. The most impressive thing about this eyeliner is the price point. It was 3.99$CAD and performs just as well as other drugstore brands like Loreal Lineur Intense or Maybelline Line Stiletto (both in the 8-10$ range). I won't say I prefer it to the Stila Stay All Day liner (26$) which offers more finesse (the formula doesn't break apart, the edges just start to blur slightly, and the applicator allows much more control and the ability to draw sharp thin lines) but it is obviously much more expensive.
In conclusion, if you're looking to draw thick, dark lines that stay on all day on a budget, this is a great choice!

I cant even express how happy I am with this product. I randomly saw a video on yt there this product was used, and once I saw that it dried to a matte texture I started looking up reviews. Everyone seemed pretty happy with it and it's definitely inexpensive enough to justifying trying no matter the budget.
A little about my "liner needs"
I have sensitive, watery eyes and oily hooded lids.
I'm also allergic to mineral oil, which halves the marketplace as well.
So i unfortunately ask a lot out of an eye liner.
This one however....I am So happy and excited to have in my collection.
I love the wand and applicator. It very easy to handle, and use.
The formula goes on jet black. Its not to watery or thin. Not to thick or clumpy.
Every though its a "slippy" product it doesn't transfer or bleed into other areas.
Easy to fix any mistakes, generally easy to work with and get any desired effect.
Doesn't irritate my eyes. And if my eyes water for any reason, it doesn't transfer or budge.
Then it dries to a gorgeous matte finish that stays jet black and beautiful all day.
I highly recommend!

Ladies, if you love black liquid eyeliner, you NEED to try this. This eyeliner is seriously the best kept secret at the drug store (or is it since it's always out of stock at Ulta). I have tried my share of high and low end eyeliners (as you can tell by my previous reviews), but I have finally found the BEST liquid eyeliner, or should I say the best eyeliner of any kind, that I have ever tried. It also doesn't hurt that it's about $3 at Ulta. The downside to this product is that it might be a little hard to find since I've only ever seen it at Ulta and it's usually sold out. This liner has a felt tip and dries to a completely matte finish unlike many of the other liquid eyeliners at the drug store or even high end liquid liners. The tip is fairly thin and I can get a pretty precise line, but I will admit the only thing that could be better is if the tip were a little thinner. However, this liner has amazing staying power. I just put this on my unprimed bare eyelids and took a hot shower (i'm talking really really hot) for >30 min and even washed my face with soap, and this eyeliner was still perfect when I got out (no flaking, cracking, running). I've worn this to weddings and parties and it's stayed perfect all night long. However, it removes easily with waterproof eye makeup remover or micellular cleansing water (and it doesn't come off in chunks and get into ur eyes like some other waterproof liners do). I have oily hooded monolids and this is the only liner that doesn't even flake in my inner corners. If you love the $3 NYC liquid eyeliner used by so many makeup gurus on youtube but always wished it was waterproof, this is the answer to your prayers. This is just as black, matte, and intense as the NYC liquid eyeliner, but it's also waterproof, which officially makes it the best budget eyeliner at the drugstore. I just hope Essence never stops making this wonderful little gem. You get a fair amount of product, and I've had mine for months and there's no sign of running out. Essence also makes a felt-tip pen version of their liquid eyeliner, but you get a lot less product. I haven't tried the felt-tip pen version, so I can't say if the performance is the same, but I haven't been that tempted to try because this liner is so good. Whenever I'm at Ulta I always pick up a backup if I see that it's in stock because I never want to be without this liner in my collection. This beats any other pencil, gel, or liquid eyeliner that I have ever tried (milani, maybelline, NYC, nyx pen and gel, sephora brand, stila smudgepot and pen, mac fluid line, bobby brown gel, kat von d, K-palette 24 hr liquid pen, physicians formula, wet n wild liquid and gel, l'oreal pencil gel and liquid). You have to try this. I promise you won't regret it. PS, Ulta also sells this online on their website.

OOooooh-eeeee! This is the best liner for your buck.
It is truly waterproof - I have done sports activities and it has stayed in tact. I have cried at movies, due to boyfriends, and my eyeliner still looks great. I have lost this, and not cried, and have happily purchased this at least three times now!
- Felt-tip makes it easy to apply, and does not pull or is harsh on your sensitive eyelid skin
- True black - it is dark, and not grey
- Truly waterproof!
- GREAT PRICE! I buy mine at Shopper's Drug Mart for no more than $3
- I do wish that the felt tip were slimmer so that I can be flexible with the look I am achieving, but instead, it is usually a thicker line. It is by no means too thick, but it would be great to have an option of a fine, thin eye line
Must buy!

The question of Usain Bolt versus Michael Phelps dominated headlines in 2008. And now that the two have combined for five gold medals at the London Olympics, the debate about which is the greater Olympian has resurfaced four years later. But while you will get reasons touting each athlete's superiority -- Phelps supporters point to his 18 gold medals, while Bolt backers argue, correctly, that track and field has never seen someone like Bolt -- in reality it's impossible to compare the two Olympians. Phelps competes in a sport that offers more opportunities for medals than any other. On a...

Ryan Craig: Here's Why Education Products Need 50 Shades of Distribution
By Wired Academic on May 7, 2013
Domestic, Ereaders, K-12, Opinion, Publishers & Curriculum, Required, Startups, Technology, Textbooks, Universities & Colleges, Venture Capital
Taro Taylor via Compfight
By Ryan Craig, Columnist
Over the years, I've had some really bad ideas for things I might write. Lowlights include:
- The great American postal novel. The rags-to-riches story of a mailman who becomes a junk mail baron.
- A tale of a party planning firm that strikes it big with "Star Alliance Lounge" themed weddings and bar mitzvahs. Guests love the dim lighting, the opportunity to watch CNN at low volume, and the ability to bring their luggage.
- A story about a man in a smoked salmon suit who builds a bagel empire.
- A book about school supply salesmen in the old west. A heroic journey from colored paper, glue and alphabet charts to supplementary materials and curriculum. At the end, they're writing history.
And yet I suspect one important reason I never had the gumption to sally forth with any of these projects is that I knew it would be a waste of time. For how often does a self-published author find success?
On one hand is the greatest publishing success story since Harry Potter: Random House's Fifty Shades of Grey. Its origin may be as interesting as the work itself. E.L. James began her writing career posting fan fiction on a site dedicated to the Twilight series. She then reimagined her stories with different characters – a 21-year-old female student who feels passionately drawn to Christian Grey, a successful businessman – and posted them on her own site. Fifty Shades of Grey was eventually published in May 2011 as an e-book and print-on-demand paperback by a small Australian publisher. By early 2012, the e-book was being devoured and discussed by working moms in Manhattan. It was then that a publisher at Random House's Vintage imprint decided she had found the next big thing. She and her team traveled to the UK to meet James and won the bidding war for the trilogy. Within days of signing, the books were produced and distributed as trade paperbacks and e-books and backed by a major marketing effort. Reader demand exploded to such an unprecedented extent that it launched a global debate on its subject matter and each week brought a new print run, sometimes in excess of 900,000 copies. At the end of 2012 Random House had sold more than 70 million copies.
On the other hand, surveys of self-published authors find that 50% earn less than $500 from their works, and that the average (skewed heavily by the top earners) is under $10,000. While Random House gets a hand for Fifty Shades, the latter hand is a bigger hand; Fifty Shades is the exception that proves the rule.
It's rare that great product finds distribution. Nowhere is this more true than in education. While the need for great new products in education is higher than any other sector of the economy, selling products to both K-12 and higher educational institutions is incredibly challenging.
I've served on the boards of multiple companies with great products that provide tremendous benefits to students. The typical progression is some initial adoption in local markets via pre-existing relationships. But hits are rare and viral/word-of-mouth distribution fairly unheard of. While sales pipelines always look large (investors and entrepreneurs beware: in education, all numbers are large) closings are invariably pushed out 6, 12 and 18 months as it becomes clear that educational institutions – and the many decision-makers involved in any purchase decision – have considerations other than student outcomes.
To have any hope, companies must build (or buy or lease) a sales force. So the products that succeed usually aren't the best products. They're the ones represented in each territory by the longest-tenured reps who know the superintendent and perhaps lose money to him at poker every so often.
Sadly and ironically, in education distribution brawn beats product brains. And they don't teach that in Teach for America training.
Distribution in education is no less critical for programs marketed direct to consumers. Online universities and degree programs grew fat feasting on leads from lead aggregators. But it's slim pickings today. The lead aggregator and pay-per-click markets are in decline as consumers become more focused on ROI and cost and as the market matures. According to a report released by Parthenon last year, 44% of prospective online students have already spoken with an enrollment advisor about a program. As Parthenon says: "The low hanging fruit has been picked." Leads aren't being generated and converted as they once were.
In need of proprietary new channels, the online market leaders have invested tens of millions of dollars in branding and advertising in the hope that prospective students will seek them out by name and that quarterly new start trends will inflect from negative to positive. So far no one has turned the corner. It may turn out that adding branding and advertising to the lead aggregator and PPC mix is a sucker's game.
What's true online is equally true onground. In today's market, investing in higher education programs without a clear and convincing distribution plan is tantamount to self-publishing a book. Success is the exception rather than the rule.
The sucker's game exit strategy is to ensure programs are addressing clear social or economic needs. If an institution or program is doing this, proprietary distribution channels should follow. For example, one of our portfolio companies with a focus on addressing Hispanic attainment in higher education through dual-language programs recently found itself with the opportunity to address prospective Hispanic students from the pulpit at churches – the first HEI ever to be welcomed by the archdiocese. Another portfolio company with market-leading affordable degree programs has found that employers are willing to promote the institution to employees as a means of reducing tuition benefit expenses.
Elite colleges and universities may continue to develop and offer degree programs willy nilly, but for the other 95%, we'd go as far to say that if a program doesn't have inherent within it some proprietary and moderately defensible distribution channel, it's probably not a program that addresses a real social or economic need and therefore should be restructured or reconsidered. In other words, if your programs require lead aggregators and branding, you may be in the wrong business.
The good news is that higher education is starting to become a lot more creative about distribution. At University Ventures, we're just as enthusiastic about innovation in distribution as in product. There should be fifty shades of distribution in higher education. Going forward, college and university leaders will need to find their own shade before putting curricular pen to paper.

Draft 3
posted at 2/18/2009 9:18 AM ESTSo your solution to our CB problem is to take another know nothing rookie? So this is your plan for next years CB core, Hobbs is the number two and then we fill in all the other gaps with either second year players or rookies? We need a veteran starting CB not another rookie. and if we take a rookie CB it should be in the later rounds maybe the 3rd but no way should we use a 1st round pick on a CB unless that player is the best player left on the board at that time. Every off-season it's the same thing we need a linebacker we need a linebacker we need a corner back we need a corner back. Change the record already.
Draft 3
posted at 2/18/2009 9:20 AM ESTWe have two young on their way up MLB on the team already and we have two young CBs on the team so why would you think we need to add more youth at those spots. Unless you think Wilhite and Wheatly won't turn out. I would much rather see us sign a free agent veteran CB to start and work with our young players we already have.

LOL, Sound like you're disqualifying every position of need!!
Assuming the Cassel trade goes thru, the pats will have 4 picks in the 1st 2 rounds!!!
Since Defense is the biggest concern:
RCB: Hobbs - Upgradable - Draft
LCB: ?????? - Urgent need - FA/Draft
SS: ?????? - Urgent need - FA/Draft
FS: M'weather - Solid - Dont mess with
OLB: Thomas - Solid - Dont mess with
ILB: Mayo - Solid - Dont mess with
ILB: Guyton - Upgradable - Draft
OLB: Vrabel - Upgradable - Draft
DE: Warren - Solid - Dont mess with
NT: Wilfork - Solid - Dont mess with
DE: Seymour - Solid - Dont mess with
If you agree with the above wouldnt you then say the priorities are:
1a-LCB/1b-SS - Urgent needs, since noone is currently in those positions
- Can go the good FA route or high Draft pick
2a-ILB/2b-OLB - Since middle of the field coverage and Pass Rush
were equally problematic
3a-OL/3b-TE/3c-WR - Since TE/OL/(3rd)WR - would be nice but not musts.

It shoul be interesting to see who wears the special helmet for the D this coming year. Is Mayo ready for the honors as he was on the field quite a bit last year or does BB keep it with the older vets like Vrabel or A. Thomas?
I'm stll hoping the Pats can get some nice draft picks or players for Matt Cassel. IMHO the Lions, Chiefs and the Vikings are the teams I see most interested in Cassel as of right now. I'm anxious to see what happens in the next few months and hopefully the Pats will have an extra 1st or 2nd rouner in this years draft to make up for the loss of last years pick.
The Jets continue to follow the Pats trail and pick up NE's leftovers.
"The Jets will host Kelley Washington for a free agent visit Wednesday night.
Washington doesn't add anything as a wideout, but he could help New York's special teams coverage. He shouldn't cost much more than the minimum"
Do you guys think with Brady commenting on how he's progressing hurts the Pats chances of trading Cassel? I don't think it will but I'm curious to hear what you guys think.

Draft 3
posted at 2/18/2009 12:10 PM ESTGeoff, what you are saying is different then what Kmaxx was saying you are saying we need to upgrade via EITHER the draft OR free agents and I agree with that for the most part. I agree that we could use a VETERAN CB to come in and play LCB like you say however if you draft a CB in the first 2 rounds you have no idea if he will start right away so just because you draft a CB doesnt mean you fix the problem. As for the linebackers again you are changing the argument, I said i wouldnt draft a MLB in back to back years because I think Gary Guyton is the future at that spot with Mayo so I dont think we need to upgrade our MLBer cause we have Mayo and Guyton and I have faith in those two guys but also if you read what I had to say i did say i think OLB is a major concern and I would love to see us draft a OLB in the draft so I am with you on that one i just dont want to draft a pure MLB. And as for your 3rd point i am ok with what you said but you didnt say in which rounds, in which rounds do you think it would be ok to take a WR or a TE or a O linemen? I think we need to take a O linemen in round 1 thats what I think. and then maybe in round 2 we take a pass rusher. I dont not think we should take a WR any higher then round 3.
Draft 3
posted at 2/18/2009 12:36 PM ESTI think the Pats D will have a nice rotation to keep the older players fresh throughout the games and throughout the season. IMO alot will depend on who the Pats bring in through F/A and who they don't re-sign on their own roster to determine how they may go about in the draft.
I myself wonder if the Pats will re-sign Pierre Woods as a 2nd round tender at $ 1.45 million and match another teams offer or just take the compensation pick for next year.
"Other teams can sign restricted free agents to offer sheets, and if the original team doesn't match the offer, it receives draft pick compensation at the level in which the player was tendered."
Restricted free agency; Pierre Woods decision
Draft 3
posted at 2/18/2009 1:13 PM ESTIt looks less likely now that they have resigned Banta Cain.
Draft 3
posted at 2/18/2009 1:48 PM ESTMVP, I was just pointing out that the Pats will potentially have 4 picks(currently 3) in rnd 1&2.
So, preference wise you view OLB as a more urgent need than ILB/CB then OK then OLB it is, maybe Larry English @23 (unless Cassel brings a lower pick) then you gotta get other positions...you wouldn't pick another OLB after that right?
What if Vontae Davies is still on the board @23? What'd you do then? Still go with OLB?
I would go with the BPA in terms of OLB/CB/MLB, unless of course one of the (3or4) stud OL falls and is available.
SS-can wait for 2nd round.
WR/TE even OL - can wait for the 3rd round.
The rest of the rounds can be for depth or used to package with other picks to target specific players lower in the draft.

If I'm Minnesota I would go after Cassel. This makes a lot of sense. The reasoning for Detroit not to do it would be hard to figure out as well but hey...it's Detroit! It would make a lot of sense for Chicago to go after Cassel too but it will never happen. They seldom think about the offensive side of the ball.
Draft 3
posted at 2/18/2009 3:05 PM ESTOLB is probably one of the better topics on this post. One thing everyone can agree on is the pass rush was not there last year. Do we blame this on Vrabel? If you do then OLB is a top need because we need that pass rush. Vrabel will then be pushed to the inside.
Whether the LB be inside or out the pick needs to be in the 1st round because it dries up after the very earlier 2nd round.

It's been my thought that Maualuga is just out of reach. I don't see him getting by Denver at #12. It would be nice but not practical IMHO.
We were talking about the pass rush back in the draft1 post. Then folks started talking about using the Cassel trade to pick up Maualuga and OLB kinda took a walk although it's been mentioned from time to time.
Clint Sintim seemed to be a favorite along with English. English has picked up some momentum on the board. We'll see what the combine brings. My guess is that the Pat nation will be glued to the LBs and CBs work outs.

All the more reason to try to get Cassel to SF for the #10. I agree with Faucet - Maualuga is a game changer, and will be for years.
Draft 3
posted at 2/19/2009 3:12 AM ESTMel Kiper has moved Rey Maualuga down to the #21 spot on his big board. It was expected when he said he wouldn't work out with the LBers in the position drills. Larry English is now ranked above him.
He also bumped JL out last time, most likely for skipping the Senior Bowl.
This time he bumped D.J. Moore. And I can only assume bumped Clay Matthews up.
He does his boards like I do and just ranks the players he thinks are 1st round talent. He has 25 players like I did last tme, although the players are very different.
I agree (in general) with Geoff. There are four spots on this team that could stand an upgrade. CB, ILB, OLB, S/FS. In alphabetical order only. Although I wouldn't sleep on grabbing an OL. I don't think it is very likely, but it is a possibility when you factor in how age (Light), injury (Neal), and free-agency (Mankins/Koppen) might effect this unit within the next few seasons.
It is the same situation with OLB. Players, like Woods, Banta-Cain, Rudd, are not the answer, but are really special teams guys most likely. And I would not put my faith in a player like Crable (or Wheatley at CB) who are a pair of late day one selections who were injured in their rookie campaigns. So Ne has to think about age (Vrabel) and injury (Thomas) when they select this position.
The truth is you need four corners, threee solid. You need at least four OLB's, but BB has a habit of keeping extras on as special teams guys. You need at least three ILBs, given that one or two of your OLBs can typically flex inside when in need.
Andfor the love of Steve you need more than one safety. I think NE might think about bringing a mediiocre Sanders back, but I also think he is going to get paid more by Denver or maybe Cleveland or NJ because he knows the system they are trying to build up in those towns.
I think that makes it pretty wide open at #23 right now. So I start by discounting positions based on available talent.
The ILBs that will be on the board at #23 will be leftovers in a very weak ILB class. It is most likely that the Tackles will all be gone as well.
That leaves the end of a fairly solid DB class (Moore, Smith), a positional need reach or riser at a S spot (Delmas, Chung), or simply grabbing one of the six or seven OLB prospects that are there.
Hence, I would rank the likelihood by position at OLB, CB, S, ILB, OT, trailing off into skill spots with TE, WR, RB, etc.
Last year in a strong top end ILB class was the first season that BB ever took an ILB on day one, Perhaps this is the season he takes an OLB/DE?
Draft 3
posted at 2/19/2009 3:14 AM ESTGary you could also blame the lack of pass rush on horrible CB's and an injury to Adalius that let people focus on Vrabel.
Really, pass rush is two part. If your corners are terrible, the best blitz in the world means nothing.
I see need at both spots, so I am open to anything.

Or you could blame the lack of a consistantly healthy defensive line or smallish ILBs (ILBs consistently overwhelmed by other teams blocking schemes) that caused a shift in defensive scheme away from rushing OLBs at the QB to shifting them inside to defend inside runs.
Draft 3
posted at 2/19/2009 5:47 AM ESTDespite the resistance here, last year and this year, I still think drafting CB's high is smart.
The market (inexplicably) is continuing to inflate. When corners like Corey Webster and Chris Gamble want $8 and $9 million per, with $20+ in guaranteesm and the oft injured Robinson wants something similar getting young corners in the draft is essentially getting them at a bargain price.
This FA corner market is downright terrifying. And it all but assures that Ellis Hobbs is gone in 2010. So NE better start stocking up now on the kids,
Draft 3

Shutdown corners are a premium! Look what Samuels got and he's not considered a shutdown corner. I see DBs in rounds 2 & 3 although there is a chance of a TE sneaking in there.
Draft 3
posted at 2/19/2009 6:07 AM ESTSince when are corners like Robinson, Gamble and Webster shutdown.
The problem is that the market is unbalanced. When you can get a player like Terrell Suggs or Dansby for $9 million per or Gamble for $9 million per it is out of whack.
Frankly there is really only one complete corner in football and at 30 coming off an injury he has a lot to prove.
The best way to acquire a great corner is through the draft. Even picking one at #10 or can represent an absolute steal.
The point is that all of these FA bargain corners are not going to be bargains at all. I can't wait to see what Bryant McKinnie gets. Even Leigh Bodden is going to want more $$ than NE would pay, and these cats are mediocre at best.
However, getting a top flight corner at #23 is the bargain of the century. The point is that there will be no FA solutions for this team unless they alter their approach to signing defenders. And I am pretty sure that Hobbs is gone, even though he is just dependable. If Webster can get $8million per, Hobbs can now ask for seven.
Frankly. I blame Deion Sanders for being so good that he caused the market to jump.
Especially if NE gets a second first rounder it is pretty comelling to grab the best corner you cna possibly get soon.
Draft 3
posted at 2/19/2009 7:16 AM ESTI am ok with taking a CB as long as its a smart move. If the best player left on the board is a CB then i say go for it but if we have a chance at getting a 1st round Offensive Tackle I say we do it cause the O line needs more guys like Mankins. If Ray whats his face falls into the 20's of the 1st round i wouldnt be ok with trying to move up and grab him but only because he is so close and such a good talent. But I doubt that will happen. I think the best person we could get in round one would be a OLB like English.
Draft 3
posted at 2/19/2009 8:36 AM ESTI really want the first 2 picks to be English and Chung, whether that is both in the first round or one in the first one in the second. I think those two guys fill the most pressing needs on defense and would be instant upgrades to the pass defense.

The scope and scale of "energy" drinks on the market today never cease to amaze me. They're everywhere, in local markets, gas station minimarts, supermarket chains, department stores, even in vending machines.
The Breakaway Matcha Ceremony
The Japanese tea ceremony is a thing of unquestionable intrigue, beauty, and sheer historical awesomeness. It is triply so when performed and enjoyed within the context in which it arose: in some lovely wabisabi spot in Japan, ideally at a zen temple, which is where the whole thing really started.
It was an extremely simple affair in the beginning: a homely little hut, built expressly for making and enjoying tea. Nothing fancy, no excess anything, just four and a half tatami mats, a small charcoal brazier to boil water, a kettle, some matcha, a few basic tools. That's it. You drank the tea and it was all about being in the moment, that moment, and noticing things. Noticing the surroundings, noticing your breath and palate, noticing the beauty and simplicity of the matcha and whatever else was in view, including the good fortune of being alive at that moment.
Matcha and Coffee — Sort of Like Cats and Dogs
The 5-Way Matcha Tasteoff
I recently got a pretty delightful email that I can't help sharing. It was from Tynan, with whom I sipped matcha in his incredible RV several months back.
Tynan and the ever-inspiring Leo Babauta (I also had the chance to sit down with Leo and talk about flow and productivity over matcha). and Leo's wife Eva, did 5-way double-blind tasting of Blends 100, 99, 97, and two matcha that they picked up in Uji on a recent trip there. Without conferring before deciding favorites, they all picked 99, 97, and 100 in that order. Wow. My kind of afternoon experiment!
The SF Chronicle Discovers Breakaway Matcha!
We were thrilled to find Breakaway Matcha on the cover of last weekend's SF Chronicle! (Marin edition) Full article is below — click a panel to blow it up for easier reading. Thanks to Carey Sweet and everyone at the Chronicle who made this happen!
Matcha, Productivity, and L-Theanine
Most of us agree that we feel awfully good after drinking a thick cup of matcha. Part of the reason behind feeling good is surely a placebo effect: you have this creamy, electric-green drink made of 100 percent baby green tea leaves and nothing else. It looks delicious and tastes even better. We just know on some primitive level that something that green has got to be good. So I do believe we are almost predisposed to feeling good after drinking it, even if science was on the fence about its health properties.
Matcha and Addiction
Am I addicted to matcha? Probably. But what does this mean exactly?
The most common definition of addiction is probably something like: the continued use of a mood altering substance or behavior despite adverse consequences. The most obvious addictions that fit this definition for many people are abuse of drugs and alcohol, sex, gambling, and even exercise.
But what do you call the continued use of a mood-altering substance that brings about excellent consequences? Do we even have a word for that?
Matcha — Drinking a Plant
When we drink matcha, we're actually drinking a plant. Not the extract of a plant, mind you: the actual plant itself.The leaves of this gorgeous plant are plucked by hand, then steamed to preserve their brilliant color, then dried, then finely ground using specially designed grooved granite wheels. We then simply combine this ground tea (the characters for matcha, literally mean "ground tea") with hot water, whisk it up a bit, and drink it. We thus ingest the actual leaves, the actual tea.
Matcha and Water Temperature
For most of us, it's common sense that tea is made with boiling water. Plonk tea bag in cup, add boiling water, steep, toss bag, drink.
The end.
How do we break free of fixed ideas like these? The brain has many ingenious ways of dealing with complexity, and a prominent one is to categorize information into easily memorable chunks. Tea equals boiling water.
But sometimes the rule is wildly off, and employing it gives highly undesired results. Matcha is one of the cases.
Matcha With Tynan
I recently had the opportunity to have a cup of matcha with the fascinating and inspiring Tynan, a young entrepreneur who's obsessed with living a fulfilling and adventure-packed life. We hung out in his remarkable RV — parked behind a gas station in SF — which he has customized to an almost unimaginable degree. He managed to install some beautiful tatami mats, mainly because he likes to prepare and serve tea so much (tatami of course also makes a terrific flooriing for a futon). He's also written several books, including one called The Tiniest Mansion: How To Live in Luxury on the Side of the Road in an RV. We talked for a few hours, and here is the tiniest slice of it.
From Red Rose to Rarefied Matcha
I grew up with Red Rose tea bags, a blend of black and orange pekoe teas My mother liked to make a cup in the evenings, after dinner, and I felt sophisticated whenever I joined her for a cup. She bought the 100-bag box at our local grocery store, and couldn't have (wouldn't have) paid more than five dollars for it (and this was 1970s dollars). Pennies per bag was my frame.
Leo Babauta on Focus, Flow, and Matcha
I recently had matcha in SF with the inimitable Leo Babauta. This guy, despite having created an army of fans who love his musings on productivity, happiness, minimalism, frugality, vegetarianism/veganism, health and fitness, setting goals, and many other topics has clearly digested the concept of humility. He has a long list of impressive achievements, yet he's one of the humbler and most self-effacing people I've met in a long time. Check out what he has to say below about "best practices" concerning concentration, focus, and flow. And by all means check out his delightful blog at Zen Habits.
Making Matcha Breakaway Style — Aerial View
Some of you have asked for a simple how-to video that shows exactly how to make a gorgeous cup of matcha. So here you go! Your feedback, as always, is hugely helpful.
Making Breakaway Matcha–Aerial View from Eric Gower on Vimeo.
"Going Quiet" with Matcha
There are lots of metaphors about the incessant chatter going on in most our heads, that datastream of conversations, impressions, admonitions, and other mental events that seem to occupy most of our waking moments, but I like one best. The most awake zen guy I've ever met, the great zen teacher and artist Kakinuma Ninsho
calls it "the movie": it's one big chaotic cinematic stream that basically doesn't shut off; the best we can do, says Ninsho, is just to note what's playing, without identifying with or liking/disliking the characters and scenes. Once you know it's a movie, he says, it's a lot easier to hit the power button. The movie will likely go blank for a few seconds, and then simply restart. What then? "Just watch for a while, and shut it off again whenever you feel like it."
Thick Matcha, or Thin Matcha? Why No In Between?
Even the most cursory inquiry into the literature on matcha will bring up a reference to the basic two traditional Japanese styles of matcha preparation: usucha ("thin tea," literally translated) and koicha ("thick tea"). We'll first describe the traditional meanings of these, then serve up a blending of the two.
Adapting Matcha to Local Conditions
The Japanese tea ceremony as it is practiced in Japan can be a thing of beauty. The tradition is roughly 830 years old. Like so many other traditional Japanese arts, the formal study of tea can take decades to "master" and get right, and must be done according to the many and varied rules of the particular school of tea one practices. . Practitioners are expected to learn elaborate choreographies of movement and timing, all done with as much grace as one can muster. Full-on tea sessions, all extensively choreographed, can unfold over two and three hours. One can take the practice very seriously and deeply, and benefit from participating in this ancient and rarefied art/craft form.
Matcha and Gratitude: Homage to an 830-Year-Old Tradition
Plenty of people consider matcha to be a new trend. In reality it's been a trend in Japan for roughly 830 years, started by those crazy trend-setting zen buddhist priests. But in a sense, "plenty of people" are right: It is matcha's introduction into the American and European palate that constitutes the current trend.
"Culinary" Matcha, Anyone?
By now, most people with even a marginal interest in food and food trends have heard of matcha.This is a good thing, and its overall popularity continues to climb.
The confusing issue is that many people consider matcha to be in essence a kind of exotic spice, to be used as an ingredient for cooking and desserts (think green tea ice cream, matcha tiramisu, matcha macaroons, matcha truffles, and all manner of smoothies and blended drinks). I love how creative many chefs are becoming with it, and its color and health benefits seem to make everyone happy.
Breakaway Matcha at Dwell on Design
The fine people at Dwell Magazine are such matcha converts that they invited Breakaway Matcha to exhibit and pour matcha shots for all the designers and design-lovers that will flock to the LA Convention Center from June 22-24 to attend the Dwell on Design Conference.
Really, Really, Really Thick Matcha
I recently had what can only be described as a transcendent matcha experience: I drank the equivalent of about 12 servings of matcha, but did so in just three stunningly beautiful bowlfuls as I sipped a viscous, almost pudding-like manna that summarily blew out some neuronal pleasure circuits and launched me into alpha wave heaven .

Excellent Condition
The members of B2K were still in high school when they made their self-titled debut, but judging by the cool, confident demeanor the quartet displays in songs like "Gots ta Be" and "Your Girl Chose Me," Boog, Lil Fizz, Raz-B, and Omarion are singing from a lifetime of experience. This is boy-band music of the highest caliber. Behind the skillfully crafted surface, there are potent bump-and-grind grooves, lyrics that don''t condescend, and teenage singers who are capable of showing emotional range. The influences of ''N Sync, Craig David, and Ja Rule converge on the strong, soulful harmonies and twitchy R&B beats of the chart-topping "Uh Huh" and "Understanding." --Jaan Uhelszki

The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the Wsys.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
The process known as Service or Wsys appears to belong to software 04 or Spylo PC Monitor (version 2.20 DEMO) by Aconfi.
Description: Wsys.exe is not essential for Windows and will often cause problems. Wsys.exe is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder or sometimes in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files\Common Files".
Known file sizes on Windows 8/7/XP are 446,464 bytes (33% of all occurrences), 458,752 bytes, 450,560 bytes, 417,792 bytes or 454,656 bytes.
There is no file information. The program is not visible. The Wsys.exe file is located in the Windows folder, but it is not a Windows core file. The file is able to record keyboard inputs. Wsys.exe is not a Windows core file. The process is loaded during the Windows boot process (see Registry key: MACHINE\Run). Wsys.exe is able to record keyboard and mouse inputs, hide itself and monitor applications. Therefore the technical security rating is 92% dangerous; however you should also read the user reviews.
Recommended: Identify Wsys.exe related errors
External information from Paul Collins:
There are different files with the same name:
Important: Some malware also uses the file name Wsys.exe, for example potentially unwanted program Starr (detected by McAfee), and Spyware_KEYL_SontrexSoftware (detected by TrendMicro). Therefore, you should check the Wsys.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of Wsys.exe: based on 5 votes with 5 user comments. One user thinks Wsys.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application. One user thinks it's probably harmless. One user suspects danger. 2 users think Wsys.exe is dangerous and recommend removing it. 3 users don't grade Wsys.exe ("not sure about it").
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with Wsys. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the Wsys.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

continued "Maybe the first step would be to just find out who are the property owners and just have a simple registration saying 'yes, I am a landlord … I am the one paying the taxes, taking care of it,'" she said.
"I think the concern was that if we made it voluntary, that people take it just as that," Olson responded.
"You can still make it a law, but make it a simple law," Steele said.
The original law included a fee to register starting at $30 for a single unit. That fee has since been nixed from the drafted law following opposition from residents.
Vickers asked how the village planned to pay for the process of registering rentals without the fee.
"We're not adding any labor do this," Olson said.
"So that's your cost analysis," Vickers said, "that it's not gonna cost anything?"
Olson responded: "We pay a flat fee for the use of a code enforcement officer and we have a salaried clerk/treasurer. Believe what you want, there's not an additional cost."
When Olson asked Vickers to trust him, Vickers said: "I don't trust politicians."
"We're not politicians, we're elected officials, sir," Olson said.
Marty Morganstein, a of Spring Street, followed by saying he was in favor of the law. He said he owns his home but has no rental properties.
"I think we need some type of law. It's a quality of life issue," he said.
He said the wording of the law might need clearing up but felt that some rental property owners were simply "stirring things up."
"I don't think we know how you to do your jobs here, listening to all this stuff," he said.
The board did not vote on the law that night. Olson said the rental law committee would review the comments and adjust the law before another public hearing is held.
"Because a lot of these are legitimate language changes, but we don't want to lose the intent of the law," Olson said.

Hippie Copacabana and tranquil Isla del Sol
2nd May 2014
Getting through immigration to enter Bolivia was long winded as we needed 2 stamps out of peru and one into Bolivia, involving a seperate queue for each. Finally, we arrived into Copacabana a small town set on the worlds highest, largest lake, Lake Titicaca. A hunt for our home for the night, the Mirador Hotel it was, all be …
Sun, Sun, Sun!
Not having found any real hostels online I arrived in Copacabana at lake Titicaca without a reservation. When the bus driver suggested Hotel Mirador at a special discount rate I was a little taken aback first. However, after seeing the huge bay window facing Lake Titicaca in my room I totally decided to stay.
Copacabana is pretty much like a …
He Asked, I Said Yes!
So we booked our tickets through the local Mariners Union on the waterfront to go to the North of Isle del Sol. There is a walk that Tom had read about where you can follow an Inca trail from North to South or vice versa.
We board the ferry and realise before taking off that it's overloaded and we couldn't see life jackets anywhere. The old …
Lazy Cold Windy Day
Today we had a bit of a down day at Copacabana. Unfortunately it was overcast and cold. The hotel breakfast was really dismal so we went up the road and got omelettes for about $3 each. There was some kind of procession with the military marching band that went past the caf�. We're not sure if this is to do with Virgin del Carmen celebrations that …

Yup ... it's attempting to syntax highlight with C/C++ style highlighting. To force VB-style highlighting, use fenced blocks like this:
~~~ vb
Code goes here (not indented)
That's somewhat different from the old style of code tags and definitely not intuitive. Is there any place that explains how the new system works? For example, as I am typing, the code tag in the first sentence is blue and underlined and everything following that is red. I don't know why. And the live preview shows absolutely no formatting changes.
Is there any place that explains how the new system works?
I don't have any of my own tutorials written yet (there will be a FAQ soon). However, we use standard Markdown language and there are plenty of tutorials on the web.
For example, as I am typing, the code tag in the first sentence is blue and underlined and everything following that is red.
One issue that we DO have is that the JavaScript live preview currently does not support fenced tags. To avoid confusion until that support exists, I am avoiding promoting that feature. I just mentioned it because it solves the VB syntax bug.
I checked a few sites for "standard Markdown language" and didn't see any references to "~~~". Can you provide a link? Just my two cents but it seems like a step back to expect posters to have to learn another "language". I am familiar with HTML and don't have a problem with using tags to format things like lists, bolding, etc but "~~~" is more than a little obscure. I see too many posters who couldn't even bother to use the old style CODE and /CODE format.
It's not standard Markdown, it's one of the forks with extensions: https://github.com/egil/php-markdown-extra-extended#readme. In particular, the ~~~ syntax is for fenced code blocks.
but "~~~" is more than a little obscure
It's used by Github, Reddit, StackOverflow, etc. ...
OK, the formatting tutorial has been written!! Yay! There's a link to it in the top right of every editor on the site.
OK, the formatting tutorial has been written!! Yay!
If you're referring to : http://www.daniweb.com/community/syntax ; that page isn't rendering properly for me. Bold text looks like normal text, headings and sub-heading look like normal text and there's no syntax-highlighting at all?
Is there no CSS on the page?? Try clearing your cache?
Hmm ... why is this thread marked solved? It seems rather up in the air to me!
The information on new tagging scheme have not reached even members who have posts under belt allready.
I'm going to have to put the code formatting notice set for all members, and not just newbies.

33 year old woman | Arlington, VA, USA | Seeking men 30-35 within 10 miles
The wild side of me is caged and I need the key to unlock it. I am into men with an eclectic taste. I want to fall into the right arms.
I take pride in my achievements as a collected, understanding woman. A good time consist of a comforting man who can provide the entertainment, humor, and charisma after a long day of work. I bury my anxiety when I dive into a new chapter of my life. An adventurous soul compliments my already exploratory nature. We can share a glass of wine glazed with laughter while we discuss business. Maintaining integrity in tough situations showcases a character I can always admire. With the night young during the weekends, I busy myself with the exquisite taste of the Washington, DC outings. With the world offering so much in one plate, I select my proportions with skilled precision, making sure I take what makes me elated. An impressive background in past experiences makes for good topics over the dinner table. My admiration is extended through a caring, charming, and talented man that stays composed during the spontaneity of life's unpredictability. I hold my own while finding new excitements. My experience in America has been limited to predictable, run of the mill Average-Joes. A spark of creative adventure wherever we are can go a long way into keeping a place in my memory. Men need a strong backbone when negotiating in business, pleasure, and compassion. Withstanding the turbulence revolving around a matured knowledge of each other shows promise of growing a relationship. Kicking back on the beach, snipping a nice martini, is an earned experience after weaving through the thick and thin of a developing understanding. Ultimately, at the end of the day, I expect an exceptional experience with a man that knows how to please, comfort, and enlighten a woman.

Falwell Jr. Says Trump's Convocation was 'Probably the Best one in the History of the School'
As we have noted over the last few days, there has been a bit of confusion over the remarks that Donald Trump recently delivered at Liberty University when he told the students at this Christian university: "Don't let people take advantage; get even!"
Trump, of course, is standing by his remarks and so is Liberty University, as chancellor and president Jerry Falwell Jr. told Newsmax that Trump's Convocation speech was "probably the best one in the history of the school" and that his message of "get even" was not "contrary to what Jesus taught at all":
The excitement was palpable in the room and the students were just so enthusiastic and excited about Mr. Trump's visit. And it was probably the best Convocation - we have three Convocation's a week here; have for years - probably the best one in the history of the school and I've heard that from literally hundreds of students that feel the same way and it was really a great day for Liberty University and we've made a great new friend in Donald Trump.
You know, Jesus ... the Associated Press article quoted where Jesus said turn the other cheek, but Jesus also ran the money-changers out of the temple in anger with a whip. And so there is a time to be tough, there's a time to, I wouldn't necessarily say get even, but there's a time to look out for yourself and for your family and for your country and to defend yourself and I don't think that's contrary to what Jesus taught at all.

Local home sales down from May 2010
Realtors: Drop linked to tax credit offered last year
Existing home sales and sales volume here in May continued to lag considerably behind the same month a year ago, the Wichita Falls Association of Realtors Multiple Listing Service report showed.
Existing home sales numbered 128 in May, down 37 from 165 during the same period last year. The number in May was up 17, though, from 111 in April. For the year, the total is 517, a decline of 152 from 669 last year.
May's sale volume was $15,283,189, a decline of $5,598,141 from $20,881,330 a year ago. It was up $1,280,615 from $14,002,574 in April. The total for the year stands at $59,641,786, a deficit of $17,537,007 from $77,178,793 last year.
"We are still seeing the significant impact of the federal tax credit program in 2010 when there was an abnormal rush on the part of buyers to purchase a house before the June deadline last year," said Realtor Bill McGregor. "Nationwide, Realtors saw a large uptick of homebuying activity, and a subsequent return to normal levels after the deadline.
"Yes, we have a 22 percent reduction in the number of residences purchased through May compared to 2010, but I honestly believe this will correct itself as we go through the summer. Already, our office is seeing a slow but steady improvement in showings and contracts written. The average price of a home sold in 2010 was $115,364, versus $115,361 in 2011, virtually the same. This does not suggest a drop in the demand for homes, but reflects what all area Realtors already know ... we are holding our own."
Realtor Ashton Gustafson echoed McGregor.
"As we enter these summer months, there's no doubt things feel different than they did a year ago. Last year we had one of the biggest Junes on record. This, of course, was the byproduct of the first-time and repeat buyer tax stimulus for homebuyers. Washington said, 'Buy a home — get $8,000,' and everybody took them up on it," Gustafson said.
He continued: "This summer, we've seen available inventory in the first-time homebuyer range grow to record levels. Essentially, the market borrowed buyers from the future last summer. People that would have purchased in '11 and '12 took advantage of the tax credit, low rates, and made a great decision doing so, which is why there are so many homes available in the under-$100,000 range. Simply put, many buyers for this summer purchased last summer. Last summer's market was not real. We cannot compare last year's stats to this year and ask, 'What are we doing wrong?' "
The average sales price in May was $119,400, down $6,749 from $126,149 in April. The average number of days on the market was 82, and there were 279 new listings, the MLS report showed.
The following is a sampling of price class of homes sold in May: 17 each in the $100,000-$120,000 and $120,000-$140,000 brackets; 10 in the $140,000-$160,000 range; five each in the $160,000-$180,000 and $180,000-$200,000 categories; eight each in the $200,000-$250,000 and $250,000-$300,000 range; and one each in the $300,000-$400,000 and $400,000-$500,000 brackets.
