Samsung re-starts copier, announces Passbook for Galaxy devices
Samsung announced their new Samsung Wallet today. The video above is from frAndroid, and here's Simon Sage's background on it from Android Central:
Samsung has announced a new API for developers to help manage event tickets, boarding passes, memberships, and coupons. Samsung Wallet will be a new application which brings all of these types of content into one place. Time and location-based push notifications will help users get a hold of the ticketing information.
If that sounds -- and looks -- familiar, it's because Apple already announced it back in June of 2012 as Passbook.
It's not the first time Samsung's copied an Apple product, it's probably not even the hundred-and-first, though given their bolder, more authentic releases over the last year, it did seem to be something they were growing out of. Apple isn't adverse to copying features from Android either, though historically they haven't been as consistent or blatant about it.
Like with black slab designs I'm pretty much over any obsession with who's copying who, but I do think this smacks of laziness and a lack of pride.
I'm happy for Samsung users that they'll get to enjoy a feature that's been nifty, if limited so far, on iOS 6. But it shows Samsung really doesn't give a shit. Passbook is certainly not the only way to tackle a digital wallet, and it may not even be the best way. By relentlessly copying, Samsung isn't moving the technology forward. They're not raising the bar. They're not making a wallet interface and experience so good anyone is begging for Apple to copy them.
I own a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7, which have LG and Asus designs, and Google software, and I'm currently waiting for an HTC One (love HTC). I have little interest in Samsung products, and it's mostly because of stuff like this. And I want to have interest in Samsung. I want a better Samsung.
Obviously Samsung's making all the money in Android these days, and their upcoming Galaxy S4 will no doubt be an unprecedented hit, so they probably don't care.
But they really, really should.

Samsung re-starts copier, announces Passbook for Galaxy devices
Please explain this.... I have not seen anywhere near as many instances of Apple copying Samsung.
Can you give examples without including those from Android? After all, this post is specifically about Samsung. And even if you were to include Android, I think that you will find you are mistaken.
Notification Center is one that jumps out at me, and it's a biggie. Facebook Integration counts too I guess, as Android, at least some flavors, sync with Facebook by default. Upgrading the OS from the device itself.
While I see this as a copy, and I'll admit that, I don't see any other way this could be done. Apple can't patent the rounded edges, or an app that manages tickets. They can patent "iOS" and "Passbook", even the files that are used by Passbook, but I don't see it as an outright copy.*
Samsung isn't claiming to have invented Passbook, but Apple did basically (and no I don't have exact articles as proof) claim to have invented the Notification Center.
*A copy just to copy (added in an edit)
Notification Center, absolutely.
Facebook integration, no, neither over-the-air updates. That all existed before Android.
Arguably privacy settings, though I don't think iOS' go far enough yet.
I wish Apple would copy Intents or something like it.
Copying design, though, is just lazy.
Slide to unlock technically isn't apple's either. I agree with the design copy. Could've made it look different. Yes, Samsung copies, but making something that does the same thing isn't itself "copying", and that gets called copying too often.
So, ummmm Notification Center bc the other two you mentioned are laughable/straw-grasping at best, even for me, who owns/uses/enjoys both platforms. (I actually prefer HTC on the Android side, but enjoyed my GS2 for about a year, so no ill will towards Samsung) If you're gonna jump in for someone, at least have some decent points in your post B
Steve Jobs did not invent multi-touch. Samsung actually had a multi-touch phone interface before Apple did. He did not invent the app store concept either. Linux distros like Ubuntu have had that concept for a long time now.
Tons of examples at http://applehypocrisy.tumblr.com/. The very first post you'll see, click the arrows on the sides and go through the images. Apple has done a ridiculous amount of copying.
Exactly my point. Apple didn't invented those things.
I was replying to @return_0 that if android gets the credit
For inventing he concepts of things it didn't invented(folders, multitasking, changing the wallpaper and definitely LTE) just because they were first to successfully implement in phones.
Then apple should also gets the credit
Hey, they didn't directly copy. They have "Movie Ticket" - iOS has Fandango. They have "Boarding Pass" - iOS has American, Delta, etc. Starbucks, Target, W, Sheraton? Nope, they have "Membership Card", "General Card" and "Coupon"
See? They CAN be original.
But seriously, I don't care who copies who. Like you, I am over this "We did it first" pissing match.
Who is doing it best for me is all I care about. Hell, for the past couple years, I have been BEGGING for Apple to copy Synergy (partially have), Cards, and JustType from webOS. (Can't wait for those features on my LG TV, where they will be oh so useful)
That's probably true about average users. But it gets tiring hearing about average users and how stupid they are when it comes to tech. Here we are on a forum dedicated to iOS. If I want to know about what Joe Bob, the average user thinks, I'll go visit certain relatives or friends to see their newest Samsung bloatware sorta android phone.
As Rene has talked about on the iMore Show so many times, it's rare that Apple is first with anything...but they are there to make it better. The difference with Apple is they take technologies, and introduce a new approach to workflow and the use of apps to enhance our lives, versus blatant copying. The only reason Samsung didn't copy it exactly is to avoid lawsuits.
Hopefully Google Now will end up doing all of this (it already does flights and movie tickets, but coupons and membership information would be nice) in a less hideous way.
I think the iOS notification center is a pretty blatant copy of Android OS and to say otherwise clearly shows Rene's bias towards iOS. I am all for competition, and at times there may well be only a few methods to which you can accomplish some things,say a rectangle phone with rounded corners, wow, that's innovative for say 2007, but in 2013 its pretty much the norm and design has gone that way.
In the automotive world you don't see such BS lawsuits as Apple's going on and in fact car companies rely on their marketing and customer interest to drive their product sales.
Yet Google had their wallet app which was clearly going to be more than just a POS method so once again they too can build upon what they started before Apple and not be considered a copy cat. Yet Apple can rip off notification center and not be called a copy cat, I call that odd.
The best part is, I found Passbook to be useless, it required you to have all of the various merchants apps on my phone which makes it redundant and eats up space, they don't have the carriers or retailers I use or need so really it was a meh product feature.
Re: "The best part is, I found Passbook to be useless, it required you to have all of the various merchants apps on my phone..."
Do you find the wallet in your pocket useless? Because you still need to carry all those credit cards in it anyway? Or do you find your wallet useful because it lets you keep all that stuff in one place?
Or were you just arguing for the sake of mindless argument and/or to hit iMore with Android trollspam?
I said that in the post, and linked directly to Notification Center.
Does that mean I lose my fake biased badge?
And yeah, you do see this in other industries. A lot of the stuff you take for granted, even refrigerators, is licensed.
Again, I don't care that anyone copies, but as a user, every time they do, we're denied the potential for something better.
" it required you to have all of the various merchants apps on my phone which makes it redundant and eats up space, they don't have the carriers or retailers I use or need so really it was a meh product feature."
Not *entirely* true. http://www.techmusings.me/3/post/2013/02/create-passbook-passes-passsour...
They should add NFC support. Then instead of copying Apple, they would be leap frogging Apple.
I have no idea what you would consider "not copying" in this context. Is it a copy because it puts potentially unrelated commerce information on a single screen? That is as comically overbroad as the "black slab" issues you claim to be over. Is it a copy because it puts that in a vertical list view? There are only so many ways to order a list, but, if you think a horizontal list would be a differentiating factor, err, sure, I suppose. I would point out in the screenshot that Samsung's version appears to group items conceptually, rather than a completely unordered list, with vertical scrolling between groups and horizontal swipes to move between items in the same group. I'm not sure how valuable that is unless you have a horde of cards at once, but it is a different UI concept, and it implies a level of tagging and organization Passbook does not and will not offer. Is that enough to differentiate it for you, or does the vertical list doom it to be a copy? There also appears to be better access to background processes, which opens up channels Passbook cannot access. How many of these do they need to have in order for you to say they "give a shit." Or can they never add enough, as long as there is a superficial resemblance?
That's why you're user name isn't "Designer from TiPb" ;)
There are a ton of wallet apps out there. Only two look alike, Apple's and Samsung's. Unless we concede Passbook is the best ever implementation of a wallet-like app, which I'm not willing to do, and obviously Google, Microsoft, and others aren't willing to do, then Samsung took the easy way out.
You're also (deliberately?) forgetting the long, long, long, long history of Samsung doing exactly this -- copying Apple. If HTC did this (which they haven't), your argument would hold merit.
Right now it just seems uncharacteristically reactionary and apologetic.
(Was that appropriately abrasive? I tried to match the silliness of the tone as best I could :) )
Abrasiveness is fine -- Lord knows I can be abrasive as well. I also fully concede Samsung's history, and Apple's as well. But you are sidestepping the question. From a *very* cursory view of the announcement and product page, I can count at least two new methods of user interaction is Samsung's implementation, as well as some back end features does not have. Even if Samsung used Passbook as a base model - and I agree they did - that is going beyond what Apple did. I would not go so far as to call it innovative, except in the strict sense that they have created features that did not exist before. How much of that do you require before you consider a company "giving a shit" -- or is a similar base look and feel the only overriding concern?
I found the closeness in design more appalling than the closeness in concept.
I agree with you there are differences, so why bother making it look like Passbook? Unless Samsung has no idea how to make things look (i.e., no competent design staff), there's no reason S Voice had to look so much like Siri, Wallet has to look so much like Passbook, etc.
I'm willing to bet if you gave those features to any competent indie design team, it would end up not only more distinct, but better.
Again, the resemblance to Passbook is that there are rectangles, vertically aligned. Point taken. However, within that framework, even visually, there are more differences than similarities. Compared to Passbook, Samsung's Wallet:
a) Does not contain overlapping items
b) Does not extend to the sides
c) Does not have logos
d) Does not have gradient treatment
e) Does not have any lighting effects
e) Does have control icons on the items in list view
f) Does contain horizontal groupings
g) Does have separate items flowing off the left and the right sides.
To an item, I think Samsung's changes make their Wallet look worse than Apple's Passbook. But they are visually distinct, unless you feel the broad concept of a vertical list of rectangles is Apple's private property.
the only similarity here is the vertically alligned tickets/cards and one is stacked and the other isnt, does 1 similarity make it a copy or doesnt the fact that there is about 10+ noticeable differences not matter...look at messaging or email apps they have vertically alligned messages but have various other differences does that mean its all copies or maybe thats just the best way to view the imformation..
While everyone is acting childish and trying to determine who copied who more, I'm looking at this as a good thing. Right now, Passbook is a useless app taking up space on my phone. Passbook has potential, but there just isn't enough support right now from companies/developers. Now, with Samsung and Android getting in the game, maybe this will spark more interest in apps/services of this kind. This could be a win win, IMO.
I find it very comical that you would say that Samsung isn't moving technology forward because of this application that has mostly to do with Wallet. I think you had better look at both the latest OS on the iphone 5 and any of the latest Samsung Jelly Bean devices such as SGS3 and the Note 2. The innovation that are in those phones are so far ahead of anything that is in IOS. Every day there is something new that I find. You are obviously a very angry boy. For you to say that Samsung is not helping innovation is so far out in left field, it really shows your jealousy towards Android and Samsung. Copy this, Copy that, come off the crap, IOS is one big copy anyways. Take Google out of IOS and you have a phone without a heart. You should proof read your little articles before sending them out to the readers. It makes you look like an ass. Just my Opinion.
Your reply has nothing to do with what I wrote. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, that wasn't my intent.
You can love Samsung, and think they're the best thing ever, even if they copy Apple over and over again.
Personally, I prefer the Nexus 4 or HTC One. When I want different. I want different.
And Samsung gets ZERO credit for Jelly Bean. They're just using Google's code. They get tons of credit for their own stuff.
I think the Note line is a great idea, and an example of what Samsung can do when they think and move beyond Apple. I want more of that. Don't you?
I'd really be interested in your take on Apple's copying of David Gelertner & Mirror Worlds design that was iOS before there was an iOS. If we are going to keep rehashing this copy business let's air all the dirty laundry that Apple has in the washroom that nobody has held them accountable for.
I've seen the lawsuit stuff, any particular design/prior art you're referring to?
Like I said, Apple isn't innocent. They got in trouble for ripping off the Swiss Train clock recently. I don't recall anyone denying it. And Apple paid up.
Specifically this one;
Now I'm not totally up to date on this case in terms of final resolution, & yes you did say that Apple isn't innocent of copying. But I like you don't give a shit anymore (an apt use of that phrase if ever there was one ;-) ). So why keep rehashing the same old arguments?
lol he never said samsung gets credit for jb he just said the latest samsung jb devices becasue its those jb devices that have new features like direct call,multi view,pop up play,smart rotate etc etc
you love to keep on saying samsung copies apples but looking at the last few ios releases what original ideas has apple thought of.
There are so many great innovations that Samsung put in their latest devices that add so much to the Jelly Bean OS, that is what I am talking about. Not hurting my feelings but you are just being so petty and coming from someone who writes editorials about these things it shows just how let down that IOS has been to you.Very transparent. The SGS3 and the Note 2 have so many great things in their OS, I find new things every day, Innovation, Innovation and more Innovation, Samsung's definition in Webster's is Innovation. Finally Samsung has moved so far beyond Apple they are barely seeing them in their rear view mirror. Apple customers are always going to be apple customers until they try using Android's top products. Apple better get off the can and on the stick because they need a software overhaul badly. The innovations that Samsung has added to the Android OS makes their top devices a must have in the work place. There are so many great features that push the OS over the top. To me Samsung's features make their line of Android the best. The other Android manufacturers are now using many of Samsung's features in their new phones. Finally Passbook is just a useless application, the only thing I am looking forward to is the Wallet part of the app. You write a big editorial around a useless app that hardly anyone thinks is any damn good to just try to knock Samsung, that is the most comical. The new Wallet feature of Samsung's app is using NFC which you failed to write and I don't think the iphone has added that to their phones.
Historically, that hasn't been the case. S Voice was a dumb copy of Siri. Google Now was a fantastic improvement.
Samsung going with a Passbook style wallet, instead of helping Google push Google wallet, is probably a step backwards.
No, it means Samsung, both with S Voice and with Wallet, could have chosen to work with Google to put something into Android proper, but has instead chosen to build something separate. Rene may believe, as I do, that Google has show itself to be much better at software (not hardware) than Samsung, and that the resultant competition between Samsung Wallet and Google Wallet will eventually tip in Google's favor.
Samsung assuredly had their own reasons for making a separate Wallet -- perhaps Google was moving too slowly, or in a different direction, or that Google Wallet's source is not available to partners in the same way Android system source ie. But, if you believe Google is superior to Samsung in terms of software design and development, it is easy to think Samsung going its own way as a step back.
Right and Siri was a direct copy from Vlingo.
this posted by someone else explains it well
Again, the resemblance to Passbook is that there are rectangles, vertically aligned. Point taken. However, within that framework, even visually, there are more differences than similarities. Compared to Passbook, Samsung's Wallet:

A) Unless Apple is going to make Passbook available on the Play Store, why should Samsung fans have to miss out on that feature?
B) You mentioned in another comment there are plenty of Wallet apps, but only Apple's and Samsung's look alike. I would disagree; Passbook and S-Wallet aren't really "wallet" apps, since you won't be able to use either in place of cash or debit card.
C) Why shouldn't Samsung have a chance to do Passbook, but better? You mentioned S-Voice is useless (which I agree with), but who can say S-Wallet will be the same?
D) Consumers don't lose anything from this. In the end, Samsung is the only real competition Apple has right now. That competitive spirit will lead to a better Passbook, better iOS and Touchwiz, and better phones overall. You don't work for Apple. Other than getting a better product, you aren't affected by this.
This might be a bit off topic here. I recently purchased a Samsung SmartTV. Netflix for iOS lists the Smart TV as an airplay device rather than my Apple TV2. How is this possible? I know that Youtube can stream to the Smart TV but only through the Safari browser, not the Youtube app. I've looked online everywhere and haven't come up with anything yet on how is this possible. Help a brother out!
similar but not a direct copy you can clearly tell a difference, apples has its card stacked on top of one another where as samsung has what looks like tickets on a page not stacked but seperated and if you look at it close it looks like you can swipe left and right on some tickets to show more tickets..this is the equivalent of saying all messaging apps look the same.
I think this might be the lamest discussion I've ever read...bunch of useless yapping about who copied who and cries for accountability. Please! Who cares?! Do you get rewarded for being right?
I think we can all agree on two things: 1) We all like to see every company innovate beyond what's available. 2) Even if things are copied, increased exposure of a potential or realized benefit is a good thing as it solidifies the attractiveness in the marketplace to adopt.
Let's have more wallets...copied or fresh. We'll have more merchants using the capability which will save us time. I've been thankful for Passbook ...have used without a problem at Starbucks, Amtrak and Target. And, let's hope Apple, Samsung, HTC, Google, et al continue to push the boundaries.
Now, instead of useless arguing, how about some great ideas on how to make Passbook & Wallet even better???
I honestly don't understand how people get butt hurt when an obvious copy is done so blatantly. Samsung ripped off of Apple with this plain and simple. its not difficult to see why. When someone says this please lets step back for a second and see the reasons why. When someone also says it is a copy doesnt mean Android as a whole is under fire. People need to stop trying to counter with "Oh Apple does it too" because its obvious Apple has coppied as well, but it still doesnt change the fact that Samsung did what they did and it happened. And for those who are wondering what device I use, I use a Nexus 4, only use Android and always will. I love my OS of choice but it is what it is
This app has so many issues, the complaints are too many to name, the way it runs in the OS is the true barometer. The problem everyone is having is Renee jumping on this pathetic app and calling out copy, copy. You don't see many Writers on other sites calling out Apple and there are so many things to call them out on. I am no way conceding that this app from Samsung is copied, I am just making a point. Renee wrote this piece, he is always the first writer to try to rip Samsung. Samsung has so many new innovations they incorporated into the Android OS, the features are just too many to list. It is so obvious that Renee is butt hurt over this subject. It is comical that he jumps on one of the worst IOS apps and yells copy when the app isn't even out yet. Come on Renee, take a freaken vacation and get a grip. The new SGS4 will be out soon and I'm sure that all the new features that Samsung has implemented will all be copied from Apple's secret Vault that They broke into. hahahahahahahahahahahahahh

My feet are two different sizes so I always have one shoe that is too big.
Layer Foot Petals cushions to get the best fit. Begin by placing Killer Kushionz inside of shoe on the insole, and then add Tip Toes on top of the Killer Kushionz on the ball of foot area. Finally place Heavenly Heelz along the back and sides. This will help take up the extra room inside the shoe.
The shoe I want only comes in whole sizes. I need a ½ size smaller.
So you bought those fabulous pair of heels that are a ½ size too big! Well don't put them into the shoe graveyard at the back of your closet. A simple solution is to place a Tip Toe, then a Killer Kushionz on top. If they're still too loose, use either Strappy Strips or Heavenly Heelz upside down on the top of the shoe and at the back of the heel to prevent slipping. The more cushions you add the tighter the shoe will fit. If the shoes are too small, avoid adding extra cushions!
I have very narrow feet and I would love to find a way to wear stylish shoes that are too wide.
I have a terrible burning sensation under the ball of my foot by the end of the day.
By the end of the night do your killer shoes give up before you do? Relieve the burning sensation on the ball of foot area by placing Tip Toes in your shoes prior to stepping out. These pretty petal shaped cushions will not only help absorb shock, but will relieve stress and tension on bones and joints. Tip Toes will also prevent "Ugly Overhang" and "Toe Scrunch." Remember your Foot Petals cushions before heading out!
My sexy, strappy sandals cause ugly red marks and blisters on my feet.
Place Strappy Strips inside the straps to help absorb shock and eliminate friction, which cause blisters and irritation.
My flip flops always give me a blister between my big toe and second toe.
Place Tip Toes on the ball of foot area inside your shoe. Tip Toes will help keep the foot positioned properly and will prevent your foot from sliding forward. Then add Strappy Strips to the strap and toe post of your flip flops. Strappy Strips are great for thongs, and can be trimmed to fit. This will help prevent blisters and ugly red marks from forming on your feet.
I have pain in my big toe.
The pain in your big toe is most likely caused by your foot not being correctly positioned inside your shoe. Use Killer Kushionz, which is our ¾ cushion and provides support from you heel to ball of foot area. It's made of a superior material called PORON and has a matte finish. The combination of our Killer Kushionz and Amazing Arches will keep you foot from sliding forward, causing your big toe to push up against the front of your shoe and ultimately causing pain.
How do I prevent "Pump Bumps?"
A "pump bump" is a big bump caused by constant pressure from a shoe cutting into the skin. They are usually found on the back of the heel, on or around the Achilles tendon, or on the top of the foot behind the toes where edge of pumps hit the foot.
To prevent pump bumps make sure the top line of the shoe isn't pressing against the heel tendon. Avoid buying shoes that feel tight in these areas by using these 2 simple "fitting rules:"
·Rule #1 - You should be able to slip your pinky between the shoe and your foot when you are sitting at the back of the heel.
·Rule #2 - You should also be able to slip your pinky in between your foot and the top of the shoe, just behind the toes.
If you cannot do these two things, then your new shoes will eventually cause too much pressure that could hurt, cut off circulation and possibly lead to blisters! At the end of the day when we feel so happy to kick off our shoes - that is the circulation that is cut off. You should never feel that way!
What to do if you already have "pump bumps?" Eliminate the cause by applying Foot Petals Haute Heelz into your shoes to raise or lift the heel and irritated area higher and away from the back of the shoe. Also, try applying Heavenly Heelz or Strappy Strips to ensure that the shoe fits snugly but stays on the foot and does not cut into tender areas. Our Heavenly Heelz are 4" long by 1" wide. The design is skived (meaning the cushion is thicker in the middle and gradually becomes thinner just around the edges). This skiving makes the transition from the cushion to your heel unnoticeable. Thicker, unskived cushions are not effective in treating "pump bump" and can actually further discomfort due to their bulkiness.
If you have too tight shoes but cannot give them up, take them to a shoe repair shop and have them professionally stretched.
My wood-soled shoes hurt my heels and cause calluses.
Place Haute Heelz on the bottom of heel area to eliminate pain while helping to prevent calluses from forming.
I love working out, but I hate when I get athlete's foot?
Don't wear 100% cotton socks when working out, or walking long distance. It's much better to wear a blend of cotton, nylon and spandex because the nylon will stay drier and the spandex will keep the shape. Cotton is breathable but with these additions you'll stay dry, sleek and chic - because nobody wants soggy soles!
By the end of the day, I have hot and swollen soles?
To reduce the swelling of tired and achy feet, use a cool gel-formulated moisturizer. Massage into your feet after a long day. Place gel moisturizer in your refrigerator to keep cool.
How do I prevent ingrown toenails?
Don't pull hosiery tightly across toes. Instead, leave at least ¼" of room at the front of the toes so that the toes can wiggle easily and are not bent after pulling on tights, socks or leg wear. It's also a good idea to pull hosiery away from toes before putting on shoes. You never want to interfere with the normal toe-grip action that is necessary to take a step and to walk well. There should always be at least a ¼" of extra length of sock at the end of toes - as your toes will naturally pull them tighter just by walking.
What do you suggest using if you are wearing panty hose with mules to keep feet from slipping and sliding?
Place Tip Toes inside of shoe. Tip Toes will help keep the foot positioned properly and will prevent the foot from sliding forward then add Heavenly Heelz. Heavenly Heelz can be placed along the top of the mule which will help grip and keep the shoe in place. All Foot Petals cushions work great with hosiery.
My clogs will not stay on and my feet cramp.
Place Heavenly Heelz on the top and underside to help grip and keep shoe on.
The back of my shoe slips off my heel every time I take a step.
Place Heavenly Heelz inside the heel area of shoe to help grip and prevent the heel from sliding off. Also works great with hosiery and will help prevent snags.
My sling backs keep falling off my heels.
Place Strappy Strips inside the strap to help grip and prevent straps from sliding down. Also works great with hosiery.
My feet slide forward and hang over the front of my sandals.
Place Killer Kushionz or Tip Toes to help grip and cushion the foot and prevent "ugly overhang".
My feet slide forward in my boots.
Boots: To prevent feet from sliding forward in sexy boots this season, use Killer Kushionz - not only will they help to absorb shock to heels and balls of the feet but will also keep feet firmly in place, PORON also helps to keep feet dry.
Note: To prevent getting "boot snag" on your favorite tights or funky fishnets, place Strappy Strips along the top edge of boots, so they don't snag the calf area of your favorite leg wear.
My sweaty feet slip around the inside of my shoes.
Place Killer Kushionz, Tip Toes or Haute Heelz to help grip and prevent feet from sliding. This open cell, high performance urethane is breathable and will help keep feet cool and dry.
My toes get scrunched when I wear pointy and open toe shoes.
Place Killer Kushionz or Tip Toes to help grip and cushion the foot and prevent "toe scrunch".
I have high arches and have a hard time finding an insert I can wear..
You can try placing two Amazing Arches cushions under your arch, one on top of each other. Or use a Killer Kushionz first, and an Amazing Arch on top. These cushions will hold your arch in place and can be used in any shoe from a flip flop to a stiletto. We've even use them in running shoes!
My new shoes have slick soles which have no traction.
Place Sole Stopperz to the bottom of soles. The slip resistant, petal shaped traction will help you strut on wet or slick surfaces.
My calves are too skinny for my boots.
Skinny calves? To get the "perfect fit" on knee length boots try placing Heavenly Heelz at the top edge of your boots to fill in the gap on calves - great for boots with dresses.
Flats vs. High Heels: How to fit properly?
Do the "double pinky test!" We have all bought cute flats only to find that they are almost more uncomfortable than high heels! Why?
Your foot moves differently in flats. Flats allow your foot to fully spread out with each step. The arch is our natural, built-in spring (kind of like a built in shock absorber) and it absorbs 3-5 times our body weight with every step. To test this theory, sit down and trace your foot...then stand up and trace it. The difference is how much space you need inside your shoes.
· Step #1 - When trying on flats, make sure that you can fit the tip of your pinky between the back of the shoe and your foot while sitting. That's how much space your toes will need to "spring forward."
· Step #2 - Make sure that you can actually wiggle your toes inside the shoes. If your pinky toes is smashed, get a bigger size
Comfort Tip: To prevent feet from sliding around in shoes and to absorb the shock from these fabulous but often thin little shoes, add Killer Kushionz to the bottom and Heavenly Heelz behind the heel to keep heels secure.
Why does this happen? In high heels, your toes will not "grow or spread" with each step because your foot will stretch out at least one full size.
Sometimes my Tory Burch flats can be very uncomfortable when I am walking a lot in them.
Layer Foot Petals cushions to get the best fit. Begin with Killer Kushionz on the insole of shoe, which will help absorb shock and cushion each step. Then add Amazing Arches. Amazing Arches support arches and give shoes the "perfect fit." Finally place Heavenly Heelz along the back of the shoe to prevent it from cutting into the foot, which causes blisters and irritation.
I have this wonderful pair of peep toe shoes but the pressure on my big toes is unbearable.
Place Tip Toes inside shoe in the ball of foot area. Tip Toes will help to keep the foot positioned properly and will prevent the foot from sliding forward. Then add Heavenly Heelz or Strappy Strips. Heavenly Heelz and Strappy Strips can be trimmed to line the inside of the peep toe. This will help to alleviate the pressure on the big toe.
Why is PORON such a great material for shoe cushions?
All Foot Petals shoe cushions are made from PORON Performance Cushioning. PORON repels moisture, bacteria and odor, absorbs shock, and is available in colors that blend with the color of shoes. It will never lose its shape and will last the lifetime of the shoe. Also, all Foot Petals cushions have the American Podiatric Medical Association's Seal of Acceptance.
Do your products work for men's shoes?
Even though our products are marketed toward women they work for men and we do have many male customers.

It's funny looking back – my first son celebrated each and every birthday in style.
We have certainly adopted a range of alter-egos over the years! Mostly related to super-heroism of some kind, but all terribly macho and boyish. It's a wonder any of the girls we invited ever came to his parties!
We have been Darth Vader, Batman, Mr Incredible (I actually had to take him to the cinema dressed like this, so enamoured was he of that particular movie!) and a brief period of Spiderman in there somewhere.
We have Halloween'd, treasure hunted, pinata'd and sausage-roll'd our way through 11 years, and now we're (I quote) "not bovvered."
So I turn my attentions to the wee one in the house. Just about to turn 4 and never had a party yet. Am I cruel? He hasn't ever really had the same circle of friends as his big bro, so who would we have invited? There is, however, a growing harem emerging at Nursery. Ollie is pretty much the only boy amongst a sea of little girls, so maybe we should have a Barbie themed party?! Would he buy it? If you knew Ollie,
you would realise that this is a ridiculous suggestion. He has 2 power ranger outfits, a ninja turtle, Darth Vader and Batman (inherited of course), most of which fit him where they touch since my son is freakishly large for his age. So pink isn't going to cut it.
I shall consult the interweb oracle for party ideas which transcend gender and size. I shall fill their faces with food, run them ragged and send them home begging for mercy.
You shall go to the ball this year, Ollie.
If all else fails, I shall revert to the coupling which has served mothers well for many generation – pizza and pass the parcel!!

Hip-hop/pop-rock hybrid Hurtbird is based in Portland, but it has deep roots in Bend and is heading this way to play two shows this weekend, including tonight's Homegrown Music Review at the Tower Theatre. I talked to local native Ryan Hayes about the band's origins and its fine new album "Nature Vs. City."
From the beginning, Hurtbird was a vehicle for the gritty, abstract poetry of Hayes, who minored in the subject in college. But also from the beginning, the group wanted to explore sounds that didn't fit into neat genre categories.
"We kind of wanted to do something different," Hayes said. "A lot of the hip-hop shows we were going to were just a guy who would bring a CD and put it in and do his vocals over the top. We'd all played music long enough that we wanted to expand on the sound and make it a more important aspect of the music."
Through the years, Hurtbird accomplished at least part of that goal via the strong and distinctive vocals of two Young brothers: former member Ritchie, and current member Michael, both of whom grew up in Bend.
"We always wanted somebody with a unique voice to be able to sing choruses," Hayes said. "We wanted to bridge the gap between the genres of indie rock and hip-hop. Well … really, we just made music that we wanted to listen to."
Besides the Homegrown gig, Hurtbird will perform at MadHappy Lounge Saturday night. Click here to get all the details and read the whole story.
Boise, Idaho indie kings Built to Spill visited Bend's Domino Room on Wednesday night, and they were outstanding. I wrote a review in the middle of the night after the show, and here's one of the parts that makes sense.
Wednesday's show was heavy with old-school favorites and only a few songs (the mellow "Life's A Dream," the punky thrash of "Pat," the rubber soul of "Hindsight") from Built to Spill's most recent record, 2009's "There Is No Enemy."
Instead of flogging the record you'd expect him to flog, (frontman Doug) Martsch showcased several crunchy golden oldies like "In The Morning" and "Stab" (early in the night), and "Car" and "Distopian Dream Girl" (later). He stacked the middle of the set with sweeping, soaring songs like "Untrustable," "The Plan" and "I Would Hurt A Fly." In particular, the roiling ending of "Untrustable" was a scorcher that stirred the up-front fans — a funny mix of hippies, frat-looking dudes, hipsters and mountain men — into a mild mosh pit.
You can read the whole thing by clicking here.
Elsewhere in this week's music section, we've got the return of Floater, a couple of good bluegrassy bands (Head for the Hills and Dead Winter Carpenters), and a slew of heavy local bands playing gigs this weekend, including Shades of Society, Violent Intention, Exfixia, StillFear, The Confederats and Alley Brewed. Get out there and see some music, folks!

Spain won all of their games in their qualifying campaign for the World Cup in South Africa next year.
Is Spain the best side there is at the moment?
Favourites to win the World Cup?
No I dont think so, Argentina and Brazil are performing well and Spain might face Portugal so its hard that Spain is the best, What i see is Worldcup might be Argentina's
I believe Spain will beat Portugal tomorrow LbR. Argentina did not impress me against Mexico tonight, they could have easily have lost had it not been for the poor decision on Tevez's offside goal. Brazil have been ok, but so far no team have impressed me too much. E.g. Germany were lucky against England today!
The spain midfield is undoubtedly impressive but their defence is not their greatest strength. Puyol, Pique capdevilla and ramos can be beaten and i believe tonight ronaldo will rise to the challenge and deliver a semi shock.

i wonder now tim is in charge, if we will see faster iterations of ideas.
Apple rumored to be improving fast Camera access in iOS 5.1
The current method for fast camera access in iOS 5 might soon be changing into a faster camera access in iOS 5.1, according to Blog do iPhone. The existing method involves double-clicking the Home button and tapping the Camera icon to quickly switch to the Camera app. That's 3 actions and a weight for a separate app to launch or come to the foreground. The new method is a gesture -- a slide up to reveal an embedded camera. That's 1 action and no wait for a separate app. You just side and shoot.
They're only showing pictures of the supposedly new user interface, so it's hard to tell how it feels in implementation. If accurate, Apple would have to give it enough traction and timeout so you can't accidentally reveal the camera in your purse or pocket, and leave it on to drain the battery.
Likewise, since fast camera access bypasses the passcode lock, hopefully Apple will add a Settings toggle to disable it when and if you want to, like for when your prankster friend is visiting and tries to photo bomb you.
iOS 5.1 has been in developer beta for a long while now, with current guestimates pegging its release sometime in March to coincide with the iPad 3 release.

Apple rumored to be improving fast Camera access in iOS 5.1
well potentially... but he's referring to an already turned on screen. so it would go from 3 actions to 1.
It would be great if they would also allow us to change the camera app too!
I was excited when I first heard of Apple's plans to incorporate a quicker way to take photos in iOS 5, yet the length of time it took to load the camera was disappointing. I'm glad Apple is trying to remedy the situation, hopefully the embedded camera will be much quicker.
And this is where the fun begins. As a response to the absurd patent on slide to unlock, Google has filed for a patent on sliding to a target to unlock and perform a particular action. If this patent is granted, it seems pretty likely this fast camera method would be in violation. It probably should not be granted, but, then again, if a regular slide to unlock gesture can be given a patent, it is possible. Google would then have every legal right to target the iPhone, as Apple has targeted Android.
Ridiculous? Absolutely. But this is end game of the silly patent filings/litigation war Apple has started; other players are going to start filing their own silly patents, and asserting them against Apple. It is only a matter of time before something sticks, and we are back at Mutually Assured Destruction, with only the lawyers, not consumers or producers, benefitting.
still not as fast as Marc Valliant's Snappy & Activator. Snappy's the main reason I have to be jailbroken.
i don't really ever use my camera... photography just isn't my thing. so having the camera ever present would just annoy me. i think their iteration is just fine; just allow it to load faster for those who love photography and would like the app to be available instantly.

ROCKFORD, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves bagged a season-most four goals and goaltender Matt Climie posted a career-high 47 saves to lift the Wolves to a 4-1 Illinois Lottery Cup victory over the Rockford IceHogs at the BMO Harris Bank Center Saturday night.
Forwards Mike Duco (G, 2A), Bill Sweatt (G, A) and Dean Strong (2A) each posted multiple-points for the Wolves, which won their second-consecutive game after starting the season on a four-game winless streak.
Chicago (2-2-0-2) opened scoring at 5:50 of the first period when defenseman Yann Sauve's one-timer from the near point deflected off an IceHogs defender and past Rockford netminder Alexander Salak.
The Wolves doubled their lead when Duco sent a shot towards the net and the puck inadvertently deflected off the skate of Sweatt and into the back of the net as he was passing by the top of the crease at 6:16 of the second period.
Defenseman Dustin Friesen put the Wolves on top 3-0 at 7:33 of the third period when his one-timer from the top of the far circle sailed over the glove of Salak.
Salak (0-2-0) posted 14 saves on 17 shots.
Rockford (3-3-0-0) ended Climie's (1-1-0) shutout bid while on the power-play at 11:20 of the final frame. Climie stopped defenseman Brian Fahey's shot from the point, but he gave up a rebound and left wing Philippe Paradis poked home the puck as it laid in the crease.
Duco sealed the win for Chicago with an empty net tally with 2:05 remaining in the game.
The Wolves travel to Peoria for an Illinois Lottery Cup contest against the Rivermen at 7 p.m. Sun., Oct. 23 at Carver Arena.

The attention in recent months on how juvenile offenders are incarcerated in West Virginia has raised a variety of issues, but one of the more troubling ones apparently will require legislative action to fix.
That particular problem is that juvenile offenders are incarcerated with people who are actually young adults, or people older than 18. In some cases, those young adults are people who were sent off to adult prisons before being brought back to juvenile detention facilities.
That does not strike us as a good situation, and a judge who has overseen a lawsuit attacking conditions at two state juvenile detention facilities agrees. Mercer Circuit Judge Omar Aboulhosn, during a hearing into safety at the Harriet B. Jones Treatment Center in Salem, noted that a 20-year-old sexual offender there had been accused of forcing a 15-year-old offender to perform a sexual act. He rightly questioned the wisdom of housing adult sexual offenders with younger offenders and had this to say about the practice: "It's a bad idea. It's a terrible idea. It's horrific to think that that's going on."
However, solving the problem will require a change in state law, officials say. …
In cases where an offender has committed a crime while in a juvenile facility, legal action is pursued. If the offender is found guilty, he or she could be sent to an adult prison to serve the sentence, but once that is completed is returned to the juvenile facility if still under the age of 21.
This mix of older offenders who have continued to commit crimes and younger offenders as young as 12 runs counter to a safe situation.
A more reasonable guide would be that incarcerated juvenile offenders who have committed crimes worthy of putting them in an adult facility should remain in the custody of an adult facility.
This is no simple issue, but lawmakers should work with corrections officials to develop an approach that will make younger offenders less vulnerable in our state's facilities.

"The two enemies of the people are criminals and goverment, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so that the second will not become the legal version of the first" ~ Thomas Jefferson
There are several versions of the semi auto Sten builds.
When it comes to the FCG and bolt modifications, you will need to decide if you want striker fired or hammer fired.
Then there is pistol vs rifle and traditional vs vertical mag feed options.
Other than installing a denial pin or block to prevent installing an unmodified butt stock, the pistol build is the simplest, as it does not require 922r compliance.
Any info would help. The goal is a modern version with better trigger,different caliber,tacticool factor. Which brings up a point. Are there any formulas to figure out bolt weight for different calibers?
Here are some calculations/formula for bolt weight and travel.
Calculating a blow-back bolt weight for a maximum/safe bolt push back from ballistic parameters:
Bolt weight = 0.5* (V / Sv *Eb) * (bW / 7000)
Ballistic performance parameters:
bW = bullet weight (grain)
V = Velocity (ft/s)
Cartridge specifications:
buA = Bullet diameter
nA = Cartridge neck diameter
baA = Cartridge base diameter
Eb = Effective bullet/base = (buA / (baA-nA+buA))^2
Blowback setting Sv:
Sv = Bolt push back speed = 6 ft/s
Examples from values taken from WiKis ammo info pages:
Cartridge type bW V nA baA buA Eb Bolt weight (lb)
9mm Nato 115.00 1300 9.65 9.93 9.00 0.94 1.78
5.56 x 45 62.00 3100 6.43 9.58 5.57 0.41 2.29
7.62 x 39 123.00 2400 8.60 11.35 7.92 0.55 3.51
7.62 x 51 150.00 2800 8.77 11.94 7.82 0.51 5.00
7.62 x 54R 174.00 2610 8.53 12.37 7.92 0.45 5.41
.223 Rem 77.00 2750 6.40 9.60 5.70 0.41 2.52
7.62 x 25 85.00 1230 9.40 9.70 7.80 0.93 1.24
Calculating bolt back travel requirement:
Bolt back travel requirement X = (2*Ke/Ks) ^0.5
Ke = 0.5 * Bolt-weight * Sv ^2
Ks = spring constant (i.e. 30lbs/in or 360 lbs/ft)
For 9mm Nato
Ke = 0.5 * 1.78 * 6^2 = 32.04
X = (2*32.04/360) ^0.5 = 0.4219 (ft) or 5.06 in
Sv and bolt weight are interrelated, so using an un-correlated bolt weight would produce incorrect result. Change Sv and recalculate the bolt weight to get the desired weight first.
Note that for maximum/safe push back, the spring has very little effect.
If you want to retain the original exterior appearance, Trickyrick did a superb job using a modified AR FCG that was located forward in the Sten trigger housing that used the Sten trigger/linkage to actuate.The goal is a modern version with better trigger
If you dont care about the original appearance, there are lots of options.
An AR FCG, a G3 FCG and housing, Rem 870 trigger group are just a that have been used.
thanks for the math. I have been so deep in reloading it was missed. So how to guess spring pressure or did you say that it doesnt matter?
Does anybody have other templates to share so we all can have a complete set???
Man I'm glad you guys put this info up. I'd been considering one of the Stens but hadn't found info for them before.
NOW,,, to see if any kits are still left! To bad I'll have to farm out the machine work if I can find one, drat!
I bought a MK3 kit from Apex a few weeks ago.
That's where I was looking also. How do they look and are they anywhere near maching# ? That can sure save allot of time when they do match, everything already works together right.

Following a closed session at Monday's meeting, council members voted unanimously to give Frank and Bonnie Duke $27,000 to reimburse them for the cleanup of their lake and legal fees.
The first spill took place Feb. 22, 2011, and the second 14 months later, May 7, 2012. At first, City officials denied the spill polluted Duke's lake, but, after intervention by State Rep. Susan Holmes following the second spill, the Environmental Protection Division got involved.
The city now has a maintenance program in place to eliminate the frequent spills.
After the vote, Mayor Gus Wilson apologized to the Dukes for the ordeal.

(Release: February 22, 2012) - The Technical Innovation Center at Hagerstown Community College recently announced that its graduate client, P&D Creative Co. Inc., has expanded to larger facilities in Hagerstown.
"Watching a firm, which began with one person with an entrepreneurial vision, grow to become an international distributor of products developed and manufactured in Hagerstown is one of the great rewards of managing the incubator," says TIC manager Chris Marschner. "Developing nations offer significant growth opportunities for entrepreneurs. Small American manufacturers can compete in the international arena when they develop innovative products that solve tough problems."
P&D Creative Co. owner Paresh Shah acquired the property on East Franklin Street in October 2011 for the expansion. The new facility will house its global production and marketing operations as well as an up-and-coming research and development (R&D) facility. Packaging, shipping and warehousing will also take place in the new location.
According to Shah, a new company "EffectiveClean, LLC." was formed in 2010 by P&D Creative Co. and targets retail consumers in the domestic and oversea markets. Over the past 18 months, the company has conducted extensive market research and consumer testing for its effective™ detergent consumer products. The positive response from the consumers confirms that there is a significant demand of the company's detergent products with its triple action formulation and unique packaging. Locally, Spichers Appliances distributes P&D products for its line of high efficiency washing machines.
In December 2011, EffectiveClean LLC signed an agreement with "Vibhava Industries Ltd.," a leading manufacturer of consumer products located in India, to promote Effective™ detergent and other Effective™ products in southern India. The agreement will provide Indian consumers with Effective™ products in over 2000 retail outlets. Vibhava Industries has been in business over 15 years and has extensive distribution networks with multiple distribution facilities and extensive sales organization. Retail sales of Effective™ detergent products in India are expected to exceed $1 million in the first year of the distribution agreement.
P&D Creative Co. Inc., is a leading manufacturer of environmentally friendly household, institutional and industrial green products, has been selling domestically and internationally for more than 17 years. The company has 16 products ranging from Cleaners, Degreasers, Detergent to Paint strippers that are marketed under the brand name MAGIC 555™ and MotorPro™. All products are completely safe, nontoxic and 100% biodegradable green products. The firm began its operations in 1994 as the first commercial tenant of the business incubator at HCC. The firm graduated from the incubator in 1998 and now employs 38 people worldwide. Learn more at www.pdcreativeinc.com.
The Technical Innovation Center (TIC) is Washington County's full service technology business incubator at Hagerstown Community College. The mission of the TIC is to foster entrepreneurship and technology business creation in the region to help diversify the local economy and to promote the creation of higher wage employment opportunities for HCC students and the citizens of Washington County.

Started Fevre Dream by George R.R.Martin
No profanitys as yet...damn
I am reading a book of short stories called Ghosts Recent Hauntings. It is edited by Julia Guran. There are stores by Straub, Gaimen and others. In the introduction Guran talks about ghost stories past and present ( lists lots of books I must seek) she mentions Heart shaped Box in the list of 21'st century ghost stories. Very cool.......Obviously she has great taste in books!! If you like short and spooky stories, I definitely recommend this book. ( I am on page 96 and so far none of the stories have been predictable)
I am reading The Last Runaway by Chevalier; a story about a young Quaker woman transplanted from the UK to Ohio during the days of the Underground Railroad. I find it most interesting as my ancestors participated as an active link in the Railroad in Pennsylvania.
Chevalier also talks a lot about the art of quilting (the British way) as opposed to appliqueing (sp?) (the American way).
"A Face in the Crowd" and "Abarat" and "The Best American Short Stories, 2012" (which has been dissapointing so far)
Rhett Butler's people. I got it for a dollar.
Okay, I know I've already said I am reading "The Year We Left Home" by Jean Thompson but now that I'm almost done I had to come back.
Run, don't walk, to your nearest book store (or e-reader- *grumble*) and get it right away. This is seriously the best book I have read in a long time. Five out of five stars, and that NEVER happens from me. (Except for Mr. King.)
"Applique is very popular here. To my eye it has a facile look about it, as if the maker has not thought hard but simply cut out whatever shape has taken her fancy and sewn it onto a bit of cloth. Piecing together patchwork, on the other hand, requires more consideration and more accuracy, that is why I like it, though some say it is too cold and geometrical."
Last night I read "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" by Brian Selznick. An easy read with pictures! I saw the movie not knowing that it was based on Selznick's previously published book. The hand-drawn pictures and the actual movie stills add so much to an already accessible story, and reading the book *after* seeing the movie made me appreciate it even more (usually I like to read first, watch later.)
Someone at my work lent me "50 Shades of Grey" because another someone at work loved it. I decided to put on my critic hat and give it a try. If you have not read this book.....DON'T. I got a little more than halfway through it and had to quit. I can't believe I even made it that far. This book has absolutely no literary merit, is poorly written, and actually made me a little bit dumber. Characterization is horrible: all Christian Grey ever does is "cock his head to one side" and act aloof. Anastasia Steele is a fool who spends the entirety of the novel blushing, turning crimson, and flushing. If I were a woman I would be outraged to belong to her gender. E.L. James even has the audacity to compare her indirectly to Elizabeth Bennett and Tess Durbeyfield. I'm going to pitch a reality show pilot to FOX in which Uncle Stevie takes E.L. James on in a boxing ring.
Next up on my desk, Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles."

Disney to shutter online movie store, websiteThe Associated Press | November 20,2012LOS ANGELES — The Walt Disney Co. is shutting down its Web movie service, Disney Movies Online, saying the site wasn't keeping up with user demands.
In an email to users, the company said the site would be closed as of Dec. 31.
The site allowed visitors to buy and rent movies from the Disney library, including films made by its subsidiary Pixar. It also allowed people who purchased physical discs to stream the movies from the website.
On Monday, movies on the site no longer appeared to be available for purchase or rental. The site said people who had already redeemed disc purchases can continue to stream the movies on the site through the end of the year. People who bought movies on the site previously are being offered refunds.
"The digital environment is rapidly evolving and Disney Movies Online does not have the flexibility that many users today demand," a Disney spokesperson said in a statement. "We made a business decision to close the service until we are able to provide the greatest value and experience to our customers."
Disney did not announce when its expected replacement service, Disney Movies Anywhere, would be launched.
Disney Movies Online did not attract many customers and had limited capabilities. Users couldn't download their digital movies for offline playback, there was no support for connected devices like game consoles, and it only offered movies for streaming on Web browsers.
Disney is the only studio of the six Hollywood majors that has declined to participate in UltraViolet, a standard that gives consumers the ability to view their movie purchases on multiple devices. It is developing its own technology called KeyChest that performs a similar function.
Studios hope that giving consumers the ability to do more with their movie purchases will help boost sales.
Since launching in October of last year, UltraViolet has had about 6 million people sign up.
For the nine months through September, U.S. sales of DVD and Blu-ray discs were down 3.8 percent at $5.4 billion, according to the industry consortium, The Digital Entertainment Group.
More people are turning to subscription video services like Netflix and digital rentals through video-on-demand services connected to their TVs. When factoring in digital forms of movie consumption, U.S. home video revenue is up 1 percent at $12.3 billion this year.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON U.S. Full StoryGroup recognizes Full StoryNEW YORK Stocks ended the day mostly flat on Thursday, recovering from broad losses earlier in...

God knows how to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgement
2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
Isa 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
AMEN. Thanks bobf for that great set of scriptures.
I am so thankful that LOVE never fails.
Rom 11:15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
Paul and Bobf, you answered well. What you presented cannot be refuted, only ignored. I guarantee you, because it cannot be refuted, it will be ignored. Take that as a compliment, you sealed the coffin of that objection.

text: Drama Queen Eyeshadow ($5.99 for 0.064 oz.) is described as a "densely dark purple with a shimmery finish." It's a deepened plummy purple with burgundy micro-shimmer and a frost finish. It had rich, opaque color payoff, and the texture was soft and smooth. It is more muted than Last Dance and has a less frosted finish. I saw very faint signs of fading after eight hours of wear. LORAC Deep Purple (P) is slightly more muted. Fyrinnae Alchemist's Curse (P, $6.80) is lighter. Illamasqua Queen of the Night (LE) is lighter. MAC Young Punk (P, $21.00) is darker, purpler. Giorgio Armani #3 (P, $33.00) is darker, cooler-toned. See comparison swatches.
