I am a devoted BE user and previously used Bisque to cover my dark undereye circles and lids. This covers easily and really well. I feel like it stays put when used in conjuction with other products. First I use Benefit Lemon-Aid, BE Fairly Light Foundation, then Well Rested and top it off with Mineral Veil. I got it as a small sample in a kit and will be buying a full size when I run out. It is a miracle worker!

My rating is for using this as a foundation. It did not work that well as a shadow base and powders are just too dry as a concealer. I use Amazing Base concealer in fair and this as my base. Oddly enough, I am very pale and was told I was a "winter" by another company but this yellow base makes my skin look 10 years younger. My daughter came over and immediately asked what makeup I was wearing and told me to always use it! It does work well in the inside corners of my eyes to brighten that area. I have used it for about a week and am always amazed at how well I like it when I never thought I would like a powder base. A girl at Ulta put the regular BE in fairly light on me and it looked like a spray orange tan, but this blends perfectly at the jawline and does not have that weird shimmer that the regulare base has. Update: I still like this on the days when I want a powder base, but I do think I like BB Natural Finish oil free liquid just as well now. Either way, using well rested in the inner corners of my eyes has become standard, as it seems to make me look younger and more awake. Also, on some days my cheeks are pinker, and I use the well rested where my blush goes, applied over the bb which does not seem to cover the pink as well, and the Well Rested really hides the pink, so my blush goes on truer and not extra pink.

This stuff is AMAZING!!! I am a huge BE fam, have been using them for 2.5 years and this is my new and overall favorite item from the line. Don't get me wrong, BE's Light foundation, Mineral Veil, Warmth, and eyebrow kit are all HG for me and I will use all these products til the day I die but I tried Well rested for the first time 4 days ago and I was in shock at how great it worked on me. I'm 21 yet I've had nasty dark circles under my eyes ever since I can remember (dating back since middle school). For the past 2.5 years I've been using Fairly Light as my under-eye and all over face concealer and it's worked pretty well and covered up my dark circles as well as I could hope for any concealer to do. However, when I went into the BE store a few days ago and the BE girl put the on my dark under eye circles I swear they completely vanished. I was so shocked and impressed I just had to buy it! For the past few days I've been putting Well Rested on under my eyes and it almost completely covers my dark circles, then I conceal again with fairly Light on top of the Well rested and by the time I'm done with my makeup I cant even tell that I have even the slightest darkness under my eyes. Its amazing how well this product works as making my eyes look so much brighter. I've always been so self conscious of my dark circles (especially because I'm so young and shouldn't have them) and I feel like my confidence has been boosted so much because of this product. HG for me for sure and I will continue to always repurchase this product!!

I see where they were going with this product, but I think it's a bit too harsh for me with a bit too much yellow. I don't battle dark circles under my eyes, so I don't think I really need this product. Maybe someday I'll reach for this when I need it.

I didn't love this for under eye concealer; it doesn't blend well and it gets into all my wrinkles. But I do like it under bisque and foundation for blemish concealment, and under my brow bone for a little oomph. I wouldn't get it again, but I'll use up what I have covering zits.

Great product for those with very dark under eye circles! I fix my under-eye concealer with this product and it gives a little bit more coverage (not much) but it brightens a lot dippending of how much you put on! Careful if you are quite tanned not to overdo otherwise you'll get panda eyes!! it also have very good lasting power

Let me start by saying that I hate when there are two or more sets of reviews for an item (in this case I think there are 2)
OK about the BE undereye concealer - it was ok, but I was not blown away like with other BE items. It did made my undereye look a little lighter, but there was no significant change, it was just a yellow-ish powder.
Most of the time I skipped that step and you could barely tell that I had no undereye concealer. Now my under eye area is not that bad too begin with, so maybe that is why I did not notice a difference.
However, I think a cream works better for that area.
I didn't hate, but I did not love, I would not buy it again.

"This eye-brightening shadow base is a favorite among the sleep-deprived for its ability to magically diminish the morning-drowsiness that results from too little sleep or a long day's journey. Well-Rested works as a beautiful, eye-brightening shadow base, and can also be used to brighten dark shadows around the eyes, nose, lips and anywhere you feel you need an extra pick-me-up." -Bare Escentuals. I love using this to set my concealer. It gives my under eyes extra coverage and brightening. Love, love, love this! Definitely give it a try if your dark circles are severe and your concealer alone doesn't do it for you.

I'd like this better if it was not a loose mineral but for me (very fair neutral yellow) this is an awesome eyeshadow base. Every so slight sheen, mellow neutral yellow that blends into my skin and creates a smooth canvas. Use this every day although if I could find a pressed version of the same color I would check it out. This is an eyeshadow not a face powder, it's pretty highly pigmented. Good staying power. Taken how little I need to use this will last me for the rest of my life!

I really dont know about this. Hmmm i think my gripe with this is that it is slightly too dark for under eyes but slightly to mica-ish for the face. I love BE foundation in fairly light I think i will just use that under my eyes from now on, for me it works better

Leaky bouncer guilty of Tindall theft
Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:00
He will be sentenced in June
A New Zealand bouncer who leaked CCTV footage of former England centre Mike Tindall's drunken antics during the 2011 World Cup was convicted of stealing the video.
The grainy images of Tindall flirting with an old flame just weeks after marrying Zara Phillips, Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughter, created global headlines and were blamed for derailing England's World Cup campaign.
A jury in the Invercargill District Court found Jonathan Dixon, a bouncer who worked at the nightclub where Tindall had been drinking, dishonestly obtained property by accessing the venue's computer system.
Prosecutors said Dixon had hoped to sell the footage to the British tabloid newspapers for up to £1.3 million (US$2 million) but posted it on the Internet when the plan failed.
He will be sentenced in June.
Tindall never played for England again after the 2011 tournament and he later complained he was made a "scapegoat" for the team's woeful performance, which was marred by other off-field incidents and saw them exit in the quarter-finals.

Great place, not sure why it's so quiet on hostelworld. It's right in he heart of the foreigners enclave (if that's what you want) but more importantly you don't feel hemed in or hear the noise so you can just use as a jump off point to see everything outside the city. Staff were great and didn't try and ram trips down your throat which is a welcome change for this kind of place. Just bear in mind it's a hotel not a hostel.

This oriole often builds its nest in orchards, hence, it's name the Orchard Oriole.
The Orchard Oriole is a small species of blackbird loosely territorial and a bit solitary. In areas of dense nesting, such as urban areas, one tree may contain multiple Orchard Oriole nests.
The Orchard Oriole eats the common Oriole diet of insects, spiders, nectar and fruit. Perching near the ground, the Orchard Oriole will seek out insects among leaves and twigs.
When insects are not abundant, the Orchard Oriole will gather nectar from oriole feeders and flowers. The Orchard Oriole does act as a pollinator for tropical trees, carrying pollen on its head from flower to flower.
Birdfeeders.com is your leading online source for oriole feeders, oriole nectar, and bird baths. We offer the broadest and deepest selection of quality bird products to make your oriole watching experience
even more enjoyable!

Originally written on The Football Fan Spot | Last updated 7/22/12
Offense The Falcons have made the playoffs in each of the last 2 seasons, but have not won a single playoff game. Matt Ryan, in fact, has not won a playoff game in his career, despite making the playoffs in 3 out of his 4 seasons in the NFL. For what it's worth, I think too much is being made of Ryan's inability to win a playoff game. Peyton Manning started 0-3 in his career in the playoffs and Ryan got unlucky enough to run into the eventual Super Bowl Champion in his first playoff game in his last 2 playoff appearances. Still, the Falcons are changing things up this offseason and going with a fundamental change on offense that really started in last year's draft. Offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey is gone and his conservative run first/short pass offense is gone with him. Instead, the Falcons have brought in Dirk Koetter, previously the offensive coordinator in Jacksonville. Koetter is planning on opening things up more. Julio Jones, who the Falcons drafted after pulling off a bl...

Letters to the Editor: 09.30.06
Pope is right
The pope should not apologize to Muslims for his recent quotes about Islam. There is absolutely no reason for them to be offended. These alleged offensive statements are just another excuse for more Muslim violence.
Muslims themselves proved that the pope was right by making the declaration that they will continue the war on the West and Christianity as part of their demand for an apology. Further proof is the daily violence and killing carried out by Muslims all over the world. Any place where there are large numbers of Muslims, such as Indonesia, Africa, Europe, Middle East and former Soviet states, there is violence by Muslims. This is irrefutable proof that Islam is not a peaceful or tolerant religion and is spread by the sword, just as the pope said.

Chavez is a menace
As a Venezuelan living in the United States, I feel deeply embarrassed for the comments that Hugo Chavez made in New York City. Even after many years, I am still amazed of the level of freedom Americans enjoy. Only this country would allow a man like Hugo Chavez to insult its president in his own country. I apologize for his words and I hope Americans understand that many Venezuelans do not agree with Chavez.
I applaud President Bush for not falling in this immature war of words that do not achieve any practical goal. Hugo Chavez is a man of very little education and very little knowledge of economic principles. He is full of resentment towards the Venezuelan middle and upper classes and of course the United States, which he blames for the economic misfortunes of Venezuela and South America.
Chavez is a menace for the future of Venezuela and South America and as long as there is ignorance in South America, "heart-appealing" demagogue leaders like Chavez will continue to thrive. I beg the United States government not to rest in the pursuit of spreading democracy and capitalism around the world and not to allow the envious worldwide critics to derail these efforts. I thank Americans for giving my family and me the opportunity to enjoy freedom and to live in this wonderful country. God bless the U.S.A.

City blemish
When you drive down the streets of Corpus Christi, it's hard to miss buildings that are vandalized with graffiti. Even parks and recreational places that are meant for family fun have been defaced and destroyed.
I recently took my younger sibling to Ropes Park on Ocean Drive and was appalled at the images and pictures that were being displayed on the walls due to graffiti.
No matter how small the display of words and pictures may have been, it still affects every citizen of Corpus Christi and portrays a horrible image of our city. Buildings have been destroyed because certain people have nothing better to do than vandalize private property. Large amounts of unnecessary funds have gone to repairing walls of the buildings that have graffiti on them.
Our city needs to put a stop to it. Dispatching more cops into areas that might be a site for graffiti, as well as enforcing the curfew laws more strictly, might prevent further destruction. Our mayor should advise parents to be aware of what their children are doing at night and have some idea of where they go. These people who vandalize should not be let off easily if they are caught.
I believe that our city can make a difference and put a stop to what is now becoming a serious problem on the streets and in public places of Corpus Christi.

Gene puzzle
This isn't about whether genetic engineering is good or bad; it is about knowing the difference. Genetics is possibly the way forward, the future of biotechnology.
It is the transferring of specific characteristics or genes from one organism into another so as to make the organism more efficient.
But some don't agree. Scientists are also in conflict, bickering about whether this form of engineering provides solutions to problems or creates more problems. People are searching for ways to increase yield and marketability of plants and animals. Some believe that genetic engineering hits the jackpot. What do you believe?
You say that genetics has side effects, but everything has side effects, good or bad. There is also the risk of mutation (change) in the DNA of an organism when foreign DNA is introduced into it. But life is all about taking risks, isn't it?
You say that genetics will change the taste and value of food. Of course it will, but it is for better, not for worse.
No one is trying to play God, especially not genetic engineering. You have a right to know what those huge laboratories are doing, what they are making and how it is helping us. Do get out there and look it up. Let's find out for ourselves whether genetic engineering is friend or foe.

Wrong job
Does Loyd Neal have anything to offer the voters of Nueces County other than an uncooperative attitude, higher taxes, and jail criticisms?
Look at our property tax situation, the lack of high-paying jobs, and poor relationship with the county eight years running. Where is the vision? What are the plans? How will he get along with the county now if he never could as mayor?
For as much as Loyd only concentrates on running a negative campaign and only focusing on the jail issue, maybe he should just run for sheriff instead. His campaign seems much more suited for sheriff, not a county judge.

Old threat
Terrorism is defined as the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce. How can we fight a war against terrorism, a noun? It is impossible to win. You cannot claim victory over a noun.
Terrorist cells are like hydras; cut off one head and three spring up. Terrorism has and always will be apparent. Remember the Oklahoma City bombing and Columbine shootings? These acts were not done by terrorist groups, but were acts of terror.
Some people who preach against terrorism do not realize that our nation's history contains heroes who were terrorists. The Sons of Liberty were a terrorist group; they tarred and feathered British tax collectors. John Brown, an avid abolitionist, led a slave revolt at Harper's Ferry and was considered a terrorist by the South.
Why is the term "terrorist" restricted to those of Middle Eastern descent? Timothy McVeigh, a Caucasian man, was a terrorist. Columbine students Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris were both white and terrorists. Yet, in our stereotypical society, a terrorist is still pictured with a turban and a beard.
Terrorism is not something new, and there is no panacea or cure-all for it.

Island needs
I just had to laugh on my drive to work at a political sign that read, "Padre Island needs Juan Garcia." I can think of a lot of things we need on Padre Island, but unless Juan Garcia means "tax relief" in Spanish, then I am not sure what to do.
We have no one fighting for our rights or needs on the island. We had council representatives who were out for their own self-interest and big developers who want to make a fast buck and destroy all we locals have worked hard to protect for years.
We deserve reliable power, utilities, streets and sidewalks. I know we have paid for them. We are tired of taxation without representation.
So, Mr. Garcia should tell us why we need him. Will he fall in with the developers just to make the big bucks like those who have represented us, or will he be the knight in shining armor all of us on Padre Island need and deserve? We deserve what we pay for from someone running or already in office.
Quick drive
Maybe it's just me, but has anyone else taken the road less traveled recently completed by the Texas Department of Transportation? The new freeway extension from Oso Creek on Texas 286 to the downtown area is a godsend. What used to take me 20 to 25 minutes to get to the downtown area is now a mere 15 minutes at most. The completion of this section was definitely worth the wait.
My thanks go out to TxDOT, the Metropolitan Planning Organization, the City of Corpus Christi and, yes, I'll include the county for having the foresight to plan, allocate funds, design and complete this extension. It's now so popular. In the afternoons, you now have a wait at the four-way stop on FM 43 and Texas 286, due to all the cars lined up taking the back route to Weber and Staples to get home. Oh, well, nothing's perfect, and to tell you the truth, once I'm back in God's country, a.k.a., the London area, I'm home free.

In Walck and Dixon's opinion (Nature 462: 721, 2009) it's 'time to future-proof plants in storage', but how novel and useful is this idea?1 Few would argue with the principle that we need to maximise the range of genetic diversity conserved ex situ, but some of the issues raised need further consideration.
1. Collecting species at the limits of their ranges could be a good idea — this could be where adaptations most likely to be occurring; for wild wheat populations, genes thought to be adaptive to biotic and abiotic stress have been found to be highly variable in some ecological circumstances (e.g. wild wheat in Israel). But, more generally, population genetic theory suggests that genetic diversity will reduced at range margins, where population sizes will be small.
2. Collecting samples every 10 to 20 years may not be long enough for genetic adaptation to be manifested, particularly in perennial species, but equally may not be frequent enough to prevent severe genetic erosion under rapid climate change of annual species.
3. 'Conditioning' seeds at high temperature to allow for the selection of genotypes with temperature tolerance will have a seriously adverse effect on genetic diversity as a whole. Regenerating seeds from small numbers followed by their reintroduction will impose a severe genetic bottleneck. On the positive side, evaluating germplasm for adaptation to abiotic stress has certainly been encouraged for many years now by those scientists, genetic conservationists and plant breeders who continue to value and conserve those wild plant species that are relatives of crops.
4. Mixing seed samples to allow 'cross-breeding' and then allowing selection to act upon the genetic variation that results is not dissimilar to plant breeding. But is it not just as likely that outbreeding depression rather than the desired heterosis will result? There is a growing opinion amongst plant breeders anyway that conventional plant breeding is too slow a process to keep up with climate change. Also, is it feasible to consider 'breeding' is manner suggested all wild species before they are reintroduced to the wild.
5. 'Conditioning' and mixing seed sample then replanting them in the wild is likely to result in genetic pollution and potential diluting of local ecotypic adaptation. This has already been shown to occur in species with wild and cultivated components. The niche that any plant grows within is defined by a complex range of biotic and abiotic interactions and not all will be impacted by a changing climate.
6. But here's the real conundrum, if seed banking (ex situ conservation) is currently inadequate, why not simply rely upon in situ conservation of wild plant species in genetic reserves? It would seem that the arguments that climate change will preclude such an approach in the near future applies equally to the suggestions made in this article.
In the final scheme of things, complementary approaches to the conservation of plant diversity, both ex situ and in situ, are important for that diversity to be used to its fullest, and not just for reintroduction alone. This needs strengthened support in the face of climate change, the scientific case for which has been argued for at least the last 20 years.Footnotes:

Someone was making me a template unfortunately they haven't been in touch for months now, so I am again appealing to this form. I am hopelessly lost in making myself a theme. I have ideas but being mostly HTML-illiterate is not in my favour. Basically I have been using an altered version of Wrana's Relaxation theme and I'd really like a custom thing that's more... well, me.

"Home Burial"Sunday, August 30th, 2009
So here is my first little (post kid) oil painting project. The duo was based on squares from a little quilt I made a while back. Upon closer examination the quilt seemed to be sort of fresh and hopeful. However in the process of putting the oil paint layers on I realized that I had to bury that dream. I guess having those failed ideals of home and nesting buried in this painting is good. I now have ruminated on the experience, changed my expectations and hung the duo over the fireplace at my new digs.

The Failure Hour: A Must For Every Mom
I may have come up with my most brilliant idea yet. At the end of the day, between 4:30-6, my mental state falls apart. I am exhausted from schlepping in 100-degree heat, working on my lack-of-career, "pretend play" (read my rant), changing diapers, begging Fia to eat one more piece of turkey, telling Wayne to stop eating her piece of turkey, and on and on and on.
But as all you moms know, the day is far from over. In some ways, the hardest part is setting in. The dreaded dinner hour (what to make? I have no food), the bath ("No shampoo mama. I don't want it! No!!!"), and book time.
Sidenote: has anyone tried "reading" Good Dog, Carl to their toddler? Yes, let's show our child how to fall out of the crib, open a refrigerator, choke on food, poison a dog with chocolate, maim themselves in a laundry shoot, and drown in a fish tank. All without words. It is a hopelessly exhausting book. Not to mention full of stupid ideas.
In short, by this time of the day, I feel like a failure. I've failed as a wife (messy house, sh-tty dinner), a mom (Benign Neglect + 2 hours of Sesame Street/Super Why/Sid the Science Kid), and as a person (I swear running shoes, I'll workout tomorrow).
What better way to get over it than celebrate! Introducing: The Failure Hour.
Bring the babies! Bring the wine! Let's embrace inadequacy!
The pressure is so great on being the perfect mom, wife, blah blah, we may as well benefit from failing on all fronts.
A couple times a week at the allotted hour, we moms gather at my house, drink wine, and watch our kids get even filthier. Sometimes we feed them dinner; so at least one thing is checked off our evening list. As the sun sets and we sit around laughing, the rest of the night seems so much more manageable. Even bearable.
Maybe I'll make this a national organization. Let me know if you're game to start a chapter in your area. It's easy. BYOB (Bring Your Own Baby–and bottle. Of wine, that is).
Founding Members of The Failure Hour
Occasionally a husband or two will join in. But they have to have at least one kid in arms to participate.

Teddy Bear Flash Drive now available
Who knew a flash drive could be funny? What started out as a USB flash drive mod, is now a device you can actually buy. Yes, it's a flash drive in the shape of a decapitated teddy bear. Need I say more?
Who knew a flash drive could be funny? What started out as a USB flash drive mod, is now a device you can actually buy. Yes, it's a flash drive in the shape of a decapitated teddy bear. Need I say more?
Flash drives aren't known for being exactly good looking. I mean, they're usually just a stick that plugs into your computer. But the USB Mixa Tape isn't your typical flash drive.
In fact, for a fun twist on this tech necessity, the USB Mixa Tape is in the shape of an old cassette tape. It has a flip out USB port on the side that easily plugs into your computer. It has a 1 GB capacity, so it's perfect for storing documents on the go in a fun and interesting format.
I read something interesting yesterday that got me thinking about technology and its effect on the environment, again. I saw a post over at Gizmodo about bio-degradable flash drives and how they are a positive step toward reducing e-waste. And while this is certainly a step in the right direction, isn't it a bit misleading?
Sony have announced their largest capacity Memory Stick Micro card yet, offering 8GB of storage on the frankly tiny chip. The M2 card doubles the previous maximum storage, meaning mobile users (the format is common in Sony Ericsson cellphones) can store over 2000 128kbps MP3s or over 5,000 5-megapixel photos.
Samsung has announced its financial performance figures for the past quarter, and it's been a healthy three months for the Korean company. Beating analyst forecasts, profit rose 37-percent, with the well-performing LCD and mobile communications arms of the company coming to the rescue of the ailing DRAM flash memory business. For the past five quarters DRAM has dropped in price, to just 90-percent of their initial value; Samsung and analysts alike now expect the division to turn the corner by the end of the next quarter.

27 year old woman | San Francisco, CA, USA | Seeking men 26-34 within 50 miles
Accept that some days you are the pigeon and other days the statue
I am a 25 year old, spunky, looking at the glass half full type of person. I enjoy working, hanging out with friends over drinks and dinner, and unfortunately, mindless reality TV from time to time. On beautiful days I enjoy spending time on my roof with a book (this doesn't happen often). I wish I could say I am active in exercise, but I am not not. I do, however, walk more than I ever used to since moving to San Francisco. That's a plus, right? I am a serious person when I need to be, but I know how to lighten up and have a good time. This being said, I am very sarcastic, but always with a smile. Please don't let me offend you. My home is in San Francisco, but my heart is in Southern California. As much as I love this city, it is a priority for me to go home as often as I can to see my family. Submitted from mobile Submitted from mobile

48 year old man | Santa Monica, CA, USA | Seeking women 30-45 within 50 miles
Passion is the quickest to develop and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly and commitment more gradually still.
Be the Change you wish to see in the World! Passion is the quickest to develop and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly commitment more gradually still. My friends would describe me as someone whom likes to connect at a heart level, loves ideas and people, self assured, confident, wins others over, great smile, personable, fun to be with, easy going and conversational. I am hoping to attract someone that is relational, spiritually minded, enjoys adventure, fun, loves to dance, loves to talk about ideas and shares from the heart. My social and professional life is very busy but I make time for what is most important. I am most passionate about the work I do in the field of psychology, e.g. relationships, neuro-science, helping people, adventure, and teaching/education Wildly Playful and fun I have different approaches: One I am good with the gradual build up, getting to connect at a more relational level...but also like to take charge. I am a combination of one part intelligence, highly educated, and sophisticated and the other part wild, adventurous and playful all in the right doses. My friends say I have that edgy/confident but humble rock star persona without the ego/narcissism. I have no idea what they mean. If I like a song when I hear it I may spontaneously do a little dance and sing along. LOL. I am a bit and best of both worlds...If you like ruggedly handsome features...that is me. I have my own style artistic/quality dress shirts and jeans. Tossed the suits years ago. But, not opposed... My Ideal Person: I love a great sense of humor, laughter, intelligence, physical, spiritual and relational. For me, it is in the gazing eyes, quirky and flash of a smile and skin of a woman...the scent... the curve of the back, the silhouette... that really turns me on. I want some one that can be playful, physical and fun both outside and inside. Who can be adventurous, spontaneous and playful... I like women that like conversation and who like to talk about their thoughts, ideas and concepts. Desire more passion and lust for life...life is too short...must live it... I do like more athletic, slender or curvy builds and sexy eyes and smile... If you are a psychologist, humanitarian, activist, relationship educator, CEO, etc. We will be a great fit... What is your love language? My love languages are physical touch, quality time, social and recreational companion, conversation/communication and admiration for experiences. My serious side...Being the change I want to see in the world...an activist and humanitarian... I am a marriage and relationship psychologist, educator and trainer and teach couple and relationship intensives around the world. Also, my heart reflecting on the recent international tsunami, hurricane, and other natural disasters: one of my interests as someone that works in the field of psychology, is developing training programs to provide psychological and emotional support for victims of natural disasters and trauma. I would like to find someone like minded who sees the global needs and has a heart to travel and respond to crises. I find it incredibly sexy to find a life partner who would be interested in co-creating life changing events. I am passionate about the work I do but would like someone interested in making a difference in the world. I am more interested in co-creating and designing a life filled with purpose, passion and love. Time to re-dream... What is important... In a word--character. The quality of someone's makeup determines whether or not they'll be good in a relationship. We are attracted to someone's outsides: their looks, their status, their intelligence or achievements. But, we experience their insides, their character. The character makeup of a person determines what they'll be like in a relationship. If they do not have the ability to do certain things that require good character, then they won't be able to be good in relationship

Originally written on The Football Fan Spot | Last updated 8/21/12
Further proving that Matt Flynn will be the week 1 starter for the Seahawks, multiple reports have said that the Seahawks are looking to trade Tarvaris Jackson and will cut him if they can't. These reports include ones from NFL Network's Jason La Canfora and ESPN's John Clayton. Clayton believes he will be traded as soon as possible as that he will not play another snap for the Seahawks this preseason regardless, as the Seahawks don't want their potential trade asset to get hurt. La Canfora, meanwhile, reveals that Jackson would be willing to take a pay cut in a trade, which would almost definitely be a requirement as his 4 million dollar salary is way too much for a pure backup. Pro Football Talk also is reporting that Jackson, the incumbent starting quarterback, was never a serious contender for the starting job, which makes sense. The Seahawks were clearly less than thrilled with Jackson, who led them to a 7-9 record despite being supported by one of the better defenses in the le...

Assistant editors - sometimes called editorial assistants - work in many media-related fields such as in book publishing, magazines, newspapers, radio programs, or websites. They work under the supervision of an editor in chief or senior editors, and they may maintain frequent contact with reporters, guest writers, and authors.Read More...
Assistant editors have many different responsibilities and job duties depending on the medium in which they work. For newspapers and magazines, they may assist the editor in chief with selecting and editing articles to be published, as well as editing, proofreading, and fact-checking. They may also help select digital media to accompany the article such as photographs, diagrams, or other illustrations; they may also help with layout.
In other fields, such as book publishing, assistant editors work with manuscripts. Assistant editors are responsible for proofreading and checking the manuscript for content, style, syntax, and other issues. Many assistant editors work their way up to a position in publishing by performing assistant editor duties such as fact checking and copy editing.
To become an assistant editor, most people must have at least a bachelor's degree in English or a related field. Sometimes, a graduate-level degree is required; experience is typically preferred.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
At the upper end, Assistant Editors who move into a Magazine Editor in Chief role can end up with a hefty increase in pay. The average income for Magazine Editors in Chief is a much higher $62K per year. A common career progression for an Assistant Editor is to become a Video Editor or an Editor. Compared to Assistant Editors, the first group earns $5K more on average, and the second group earns $9K more.
Survey results imply that Assistant Editors deploy a deep pool of skills on the job. Most notably, facility with Avid Media Composer, avid, and Apple Final Cut Pro are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 36 percent, 24 percent, and 11 percent, respectively. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Social Media Optimization, Web Content Management, and Microsoft Office. Most people skilled in Editing are similarly competent in Adobe Photoshop and Video Editing.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Assistant Editors, extensive experience does not lead to significantly more money. Although individuals who have less than five years' experience earn $35K on average, people with five to 10 years benefit from a notably larger average of $41K. Assistant Editors who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $42K. In the end, the overall pattern seems to be that more experience generally corresponds to higher pay; an Assistant Editor with more than 20 years of experience can earn $49K on average.
For Assistant Editors, busy San Francisco offers a higher-than-average pay rate, 25 percent above the national average. Assistant Editors will also find cushy salaries in Los Angeles (+18 percent), Washington (+9 percent), Atlanta (+8 percent), and Austin (+5 percent). Assistant Editors in Birmingham earn salaries far below the national average by 20 percent, proving that geography overwhelmingly affects the pay scale for those in this field. Not at the bottom but still paying below the median are employers in Nashville and Houston (15 percent lower and 9 percent lower, respectively).

Over at Friendly Atheist, Hemant Mehta encourages Christians to stop giving money to their churches if they don't have enough for their own needs. He's absolutely right about avoiding predatory schemes, prosperity gospel preachers, and institutions that keep you in the dark about the uses of your gifts. Depart those places and don't look back!
Additionally, I can envision circumstances in which a person's tithing would be irresponsible. For example, if a parent faces the choice between feeding her children or putting money in the collection plate, she should feed the children. The responsibility parents have to provide and care for their children outweighs their responsibility to contribute financially to the well-being of the general public or their church community.
I would not, however, outright condemn sacrificing one's own needs for the needs of others. Parents do this all the time, and we expect it of them. They sacrifice their sleep, their health, and their dreams for their children. It's not always wrong to suffer harm to help others. Sometimes it's right. Sometimes it's heroic.
When it comes to tithing, some Christians will give till it hurts and then keep on giving. This could be irresponsible, but it isn't necessarily so. If they're not reneging on their obligations and are freely making the decision, then they're probably just living out the Christian life.
What's that?
For Christians, Christ's ministry and passion form an image of total, unconditional gift of self for the good of creation. To follow Christ means to follow the logic of this kenotic love in everything one does. Tithing included.

Tasting room regulations return to the Sonoma Planning Commission Thursday.
The commission, which meets at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Meeting Room at 177 First St. W., has grappled with the topic for several meetings, without coming to firm conclusions. Under discussion will be amendments to the Development Code establishing definitions and zoning regulations for wine tasting facilities.
The City Council considered recommendations last spring and directed the commission to draft amendments that differentiate between tasting rooms and wine bars, and that create a two-tiered system allowing tasting rooms with limited hours to be permitted by right, while other types would need a permit. The council also asked that operating standards finally be established for both.
In July, the commission drafted amendments but, after considerable public discussion, suggested planning staff meet with interested wine purveyors to discuss objections and concerns.
On the basis of that meeting, staff revised the draft amendments and presented them for Planning Commission review last month. But there were still differing opinions among commissioners. Rather than spend time to see where there might be consensus, the commission asked for more information on ABC licenses and how many licenses are held in the city.

Elizabeth Bear's forensic magic
Subterranean Press has published a new ebook collection of Elizabeth Bear's stories featuring Lady Abigail Irene Garrett, sorcerer and sometimes official investigator in Bear's 'New Amsterdam' world. The five stories in 'Garrett Investigates' span the years from 1879 to 1941 in Bear's counterfactual universe, in which American colonies stayed under British rule, though restively, and thaumaturgy has been developed as a science.
Garrett would likely have much to talk about with Jane Tennison, the British Detective Chief Inspector played by Helen Mirren in "Prime Suspect." Both are women in authority navigating a male-dominated world, both have complicated personal lives and both could be said to drink too much. Garrett is feistier, though, and I don't think Tennison ever (1) had an affair with a prince (2) met Nikolai Tesla or (3) donated some of her blood to a hungry vampire. »Read Full Blog Post
Ridge mesmerizing in Chamber Theatre's 'Underneath the Lintel'
Midway through his extraordinary solo performance in Glen Berger's "Underneath the Lintel" - being staged by the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre under C. Michael Wright's direction - James Ridge asks the audience whether we'd recognize a miracle if we saw one.
I know I've missed a few - "Lintel" suggests we all have - but I have no doubt I saw something akin to one Friday night, in watching as good a one-person show as I've seen anywhere in a long time. »Read Full Article(2)

Neighboring the Charles Center metro station — just a few blocks from the Inner Harbor — Hotel Monaco Baltimore makes an excellent choice for sightseers. Its wide array of amenities (from spacious rooms with high ceilings to in-room spa treatments) receives high praise from recent guests. Another crowd pleaser: The superb fare served at B&O American Brasserie. And its fanciful decor earns the Monaco such superlatives as "fantastic" and "elegant." The spacious accommodations, appointed with vibrant blue, gold and red colors, rich fabrics and sumptuous bedding, are also worth noting as are the deluxe amenities like C.O. Bigelow bath products, cozy bathrobes and Frette linens. Plus, guests who participate in Kimpton's Karma rewards program can't stop raving about the free perks for choosing to stay here, such as complimentary minibar credits.
