Bourjois Paris Mineral Matte Foundation
Count me all kinds of silly but I've indulged in the new Bourjois Paris Mineral Matte Foundation.
It's getting cold now and my skin is getting dry, flaky, and…and…woe and drama people, woe and drama. So yea what the hell I need a matte foundation for is beyond me but you know the Muse when she gets something in her head as a want she dives right in.
Jump ahead to hear the word on the new Bourjois Paris Mineral Matte Foundation.
It looked all creamy and lush that I couldn't resist but as I said I really don't need a matte foundation now.
This is brand new from Bourjois and comes with a flat brush for blending into skin. It's available in four shades and has a mineral formula which is supposedly very light wearing and dries down to a powdery matte finish.
Me? I'm just a sucker for anything Bourjois puts out.
It's available within Europe at the moment, I got mine from the UK to be exact. I'm ever hopeful that Ulta will update it's Bourjois offerings and start carrying this among the other new delightful goodies coming out from the brand.
Review coming shortly.
What do you think?
Bourjois Paris fan?
Tell the Muse!
10/22/09 10:41 mela:
ugh, i love bourjois! i even keep a mini bourjois lipgloss on my keychain!
10/22/09 10:44 mela:
oh and my brother is studying abroad in london right now and is off to paris for the weekend – totally just texted his european cell phone to tell him to pick up the two lightest shades for me!
10/23/09 12:02 Valerie:
Muse!! This looks great…I want it too! I love the idea of mousse-to- powder. New for me! My t-zone is super oily, but other parts of my face are really dry…so, I try everything I can
10/25/09 10:17 Isabella Bowie:
Tried Bourjois once, a liquid eyeliner in purple. The applicator was awfully thin and bogged down. I had to wait for ages before it was dry, or it would mess up my whole eyelid arrangement. Boy, do I hate this brand lol
Let us know how this foundation effectively works!
10/26/09 15:22 Linda Ferns:
I was looking to purchase the new 'bourjois mineral matte mousse foundation/brush' but cannot source it anywere for sale, is there anyway you could update me on any stores that have on the shelf?
Thank You
11/23/09 15:26 Leanne W:
I live in the uk Norfolk to be precise but i cannot find anywhere that sells this product where on earth stocks it? ve tried both superdrug and boots.

Chris Christie Ad to Illinois Businesses: Come to Jersey
Out of 34 countries assessed, U.S. ranked 14th in reading, 17th in science, 25th in math, but this ought to make us #1 in idiocy:
Warner Todd Hudson writes about the Crystal Lake's Prairie Ridge High School lesson on female anatomy,
As a teaching tool Levin used "The Vagina Dance," a song replete with dance steps and arm movements, and required her entire co-ed class to participate in it – all to the tune of The Hokey Pokey, no less.
No word on whether a penis dance was added for a full Hokey Pokey effect.
Kimberley Strassel writes about the great divide:
Wisconsin 1, Illinois 0
With Springfield raising taxes amidst its fiscal disaster, the new Republican governor of the Badger State is telling Illinoisans, "Escape to Wisconsin." (h/t Betsy)
On one side are wide swathes of the country that this past midterm elected reformers intent on slashing spending and reviving growth. On the other are the holdout pockets—Illinois, California, Massachusetts, Connecticut—drifting further into the abyss of tax and spend. The chasm has huge implications, not just for local and regional politics but for Washington.
For instance (quoting from the article),
This is good. However, all these governors must bear in mind that the problem is spending, not just deficits, a point lost on this WaPo headline,
Tax pledge hinders Obama's plans to overhaul tax code, reduce deficit. No mention in the article of how Obama and the Democrat Congress have increased the deficit into stratospheric numbers.
Meanwhile, on the front page of today's Wall Street Journal,

the Obama administration is struggling to come up with the money:
While Mr. Obama has acknowledged that he would miss the Jan. 22 deadline for closing the prison that he set shortly after taking office, the administration appeared to take a major step forward last week when he directed subordinates to move "as expeditiously as possible" to acquire the Thomson Correctional Center, a nearly vacant maximum-security Illinois prison, and to retrofit it to receive Guantánamo detainees.
But in interviews this week, officials estimated that it could take 8 to 10 months to install new fencing, towers, cameras and other security upgrades before any transfers take place. Such construction cannot begin until the federal government buys the prison from the State of Illinois.
The federal Bureau of Prisons does not have enough money to pay Illinois for the center, which would cost about $150 million. Several weeks ago, the White House approached the House Appropriations Committee and floated the idea of adding about $200 million for the project to the military spending bill for the 2010 fiscal year, according to administration and Congressional officials.
The Dems don't want it:
But Democratic leaders refused to include the politically charged measure in the legislation. When lawmakers approved the bill on Dec. 19, it contained no financing for Thomson.
However, the issue is national security. In his post, We Interrupt this Socialization of Medicine to Bring You an Abdication of Our National Defense . . . Andy McCarthy explains that twelve detainees were released from Gitmo to – astonishing to believe, but true – Yemen:
Yemen, an al-Qaeda hotbed whose government makes common cause with jihadists (and has a history of allowing them to escape — or of releasing them outright); Afghanistan, which is so ungovernable and rife with jihadism that we're surging thousands of troops there (troops the jihadists are targeting); and Somaliland, which is not even a country, and which offers an easy entree into Somalia, a failed state and al-Qaeda safe-haven. At least one of the released terrorists, a Somali named Abdullahi Sudi Arale (aka Ismail Mahmoud Muhammad), was released notwithstanding the military's designation of him as a "high-value detainee" (a label that has been applied only to top-tier terrorist prisoners — and one that fits in this case given Arale's status as a point of contact between al-Qaeda's satellites in East Africa and Pakistan).
As if that's not bad enough,
the Justice Department has taken the lead role in making release determinations — the military command at Gitmo has "zero input" and "zero influence," in its own words. DOJ is rife with attorneys who represented and advocated for the detainees, and, in particular, Attorney General Holder's firm, represented numerous Yemeni enemy combatants.
Maybe Holder expects the released detainees to take a job with al-Jazeera.
Illinois senate has reached a unanimous conviction to remove governor Rod Blagojevich.
The next vote will decide whether he's barred permanently from running for office.
Post updated as news break.
Update 5:55PM Blago now disqualified from holding any future office in Illinois. Apparently he'll be speaking to the press tonight.
WaPo: Illinois Senate Votes to Oust Gov. Rod Blagojevich
With that vote, Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn (D), a former running mate who hasn't spoken with the increasingly isolated Blagojevich in 17 months, became Illinois' 41st governor.
By a matching 59 to 0 vote, the Senate also voted to bar Blagojevich for life from holding Illinois political office.
Blago said he can't wait to prove how innocent he is, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and bye-bye.
That's that.
Because cleanliness is not always next to godliness: Blago discussed laundering campaign funds. Ed noticed in this news report, Blago's Financial Shell Game
It should come as no surprise to Gov. Rod Blagojevich that authorities are reportedly moving to freeze his campaign fund – and not just because the same thing happened to George Ryan. According to the criminal complaint filed against Blagojevich, the governor and three of his aides contemplated that prosecutors might do just such a thing – and discussed ways to secure the millions of dollars in the fund by moving the money elsewhere.
And how were they going to do that? By the ages-old "prepay the lawyer, & have him refund you" trick:
"Also on December 5, 2008," the complaint says, "Rod Blagojevich and three others discussed whether to move money out of the Friends of Blagojevich campaign fund to avoid having the money frozen and also considered the possibility of prepaying money to Rod Blagojevich's criminal defense attorney with an understanding that the attorney would donate the money back at a later time if it was not needed. They also discussed opening a new fund raising account named Citizens for Blagojevich with new contributions received."
The discussion appears to have been prompted by the Tribune's story that day that an ally of the governor's was cooperating in the federal probe.
Nothing like a stoolie to bring out the creativity, isn't it?
Anyway, Ed explains,
"Prepaying" an attorney? That's money laundering. The attorney would hold the cash until the feds went away, then suddenly "refund" the unused balance to Blagojevich. Setting up a legal defense fund would have been perfectly acceptable, though, and will probably happen now that the state has refused to pay Blagojevich's legal bills.
And not to worry, there's plenty of Blagos to come. His brother Robert's also involved.
For now at least, Blago's not resigning.
While the Rod Blagojevich arrest news and all the emerging questions ring on, A Second Hand Conjecture looks at who may become Leader of the Opposition
Whilst most elected Republicans are still preoccupied in pledging to work with (or for) the Obama administration, Sarah Palin isn't having any of it.
This is significant criticism, because it is vitally important that a Republican leader emerges who can command a media platform, and will articulate regular opposition to the Obama administration on national policy. Naturally, whoever does emerge to shoulder this burden, will be perfectly placed to continue that opposition in the next presidential election.
There's certainly no point in looking to the decimated and newly submissive ranks of congress for this leadership. As in 1976, political reality mandates that it must come from outside Washington. Interestingly, Palin possesses an advantage over Reagan when he sought to become this kind of external leader of the opposition: she holds political office and can reinforce her criticism with independent action, as the new pipeline with Canada demonstrates.
Any Republican who aspires to leadership now has an excellent opportunity with the Blago scandal. Palin may be one, but more are needed.
Who will take advantage of this opportunity? We'll find out.
Well, if you want to cash in, might as well get the big guys:
Blago wanted to shake down Warren Buffett, and/or Bill Gates.
Blago must have felt he was immune to any consequences.
Pior post & roundup here.

Questions Arise About the Obama/Blagojevich Relationship, and this time ABC did manage to mention party affiliation.

..she struggles with self esteem sometimes and worries about gaining weight and all that...View Thread
i know its terrible for me to complain given i dont have to go through the pain of fibro,
but i really feel frustration building up because of the lack of sexuality.
i guess what is going through my mind is that she's had an active sex life with others and now here i am, thinking of spending the rest of my life with her, and she cant give me what she gave to others. and that bothers me and i dont know how to overcome it. i dont mind the night of not going out, or just laying around with her cause she's too tired, or anything else that comes along with the fibro, but i dont know if i can get over that one thing...View Thread
looks like the cymbalta's kicking in..she's feeling much better in terms of pain and no more suicidal thoughts. she's asking me to go running with her tomorrow morning, so we'll see how that goes.
today i'm doing well in terms of not being sexually frustrating so that'll be good for when we hang out tonight.
i feel guilty taking all this advice from you and not being able to offer anything in return
rishiView Thread
thanks for replying. i'll follow your guidance.
i think the good thing about me is that i'm a mama's boy and in turn a great sous chef of hers, so i dont mind doing anything in the kitchen or cleaning up around the house. its the same thing for my parents, i would rather do the work/errands rather than them. so its lucky i have the patience for that, so it makes my girl's life easier. i'm monitor to see if it leads to her eventually doing a major cleaning.
today she had suicidal thoughts and depression because of just starting cymbalta and i put up another post about it cause she was interested in what you guys had to say...
i'm trying to be better for her, but yesterday i caused her some stress which may have led to her bad day today..it was over something stupid, but sometimes i feel like i have to put my foot down, even when most of the time i wont just because i dont want to burden her. i feel like i still have to treat her like a healthy person, and not fall to her every concern or demand? i dont know. i'm still figuring it out...
i also think i'm trying to figure out how to deal with my sexual frustrations (i'm 29 and i think at my hormonal peak, if there is such a thing for guys) by happenstance (i swear) i came across an article that said semen ingestion was healthy:
Apparently semen contains "mood-altering chemicals" like estrone and oxytocin (which elevate mood), cortisol (which makes people more affectionate), serotonin (which is like an antidepressant), and melatonin (which induces sleep).
i contemplated bringing that up to her in that it helps with her problem and mine, but i dont know if thats just me being a pervert or not. ....i'm probably being a hopeful pervert..haha...like i said i'm trying to learn how to come to terms with things just as she isView Thread
she's wondering if anyone had similar issues when starting cymbalta and how she can learn to deal with stress and just coping with fibro better?
i'm curious, how in depth do the the suicidal thoughts usually get? should i be prepared by having emergency numbers on hand to call in case she takes the thoughts to the next step?
thanks as always...
rishiView Thread
i try to work on things to improve about myself every day, and i can see patience and holding in my own frustrations are going to be a priority until i have a good handle on them, otherwise i'm just going to be adding stress to her and it wouldnt be beneficial for her to be around me.
i'm learning a lot from you guys. hope youre having a good dayView Thread
she just started cymbalta today cause she is so depressed and also to help with the pain, but she said once she took it her mood from when she awoke completely changed - she felt like crap, felt nauseous and didnt eat anything all day. she's on the lowest dosage, i think of 30mg...
she wanted to know if anyone else felt like crap after taking cymbalta...
i was curious as to whether she should force herself to eat something even though she has no desire to (all she ate was yogurt and drank ginger ale...isnt it worth force-eating to make sure your body is getting enough nutrients? isnt it important altogher for someone with fibro to make sure they are getting the right nutrients every day even if they dont feel like eating? she doesnt eat much most of the time...she's suffering self esteem issues now, even though she looks great...
it also bothers her that her own family doesnt understand what she is going through...her older sister has lupus, so she kinda gets it, but her younger sister, who is healthy, can sometimes be abrupt with her..she also wonders how her younger sister doesnt try to understand what she's going through...
also my gf also finds herself cancelling plans with others somewhat often, though never with me (i'm lucky)...for instance in 2 days, she's supposed to go to some event with her older sister in nyc, but because she wasnt feeling well today, is having self esteem issues and isnt in the mood to dress up, and also wants to rest up after work and before another work day...i was asking her if she wants to wait until thursday to make the decision to go or not. what would you guys recommend in terms of planning out your days? is it best to just take it day by day, only look ahead a few hours, or what?
also she beats herself up a lot. in the morning she'll tell herself that she's going to exercise after work, and then she wont be in the mood or have to energy to do so..i try to tell her to not be hard on herself and think of it as if you work out, great, if not, no big deal you can see if you feel like it another day....how would you guys recommend approaching this?
sorry if i'm ruining your community here...View Thread
im glad this community exists and like i said reading through the posts helps me, cause it allows me to know how i can play a role in her life. though at the moment it seems like i have to do a lot of apologizing, and sometimes i feel like a puppet and i have to display a whole lot of patience and cover any frustrations. i am trying to understand her perspective. sometimes i dont feel the love from her that i can get elsewhere, and that eats me up sometimes, but i'm trying to have faith.
she'll tell me every now and then how she feels like she should be alone so she's not a burden, and that she wants me to be happy and to have a 'normal' life with someone. i wonder how that affects her day to day thinking and wish i could have a better glimpse into that.
at least now, because of this community, i know not to try to push her to do things like clean up her apartment, cause i thought that clearing things out and open space would help her attitude, and to allow her to do that on her own time and when she's ready...but i struggle to understand as to whether it is helpful to sometimes give someone with fibro a nudge here and there for their benefit.
her libido has decreased and i'm trying to keep my frustrations in control with that, but sometimes i'm rude to her because of those frustrations. nothing too drastic i think, because i always try to be mindful not to say anything to cause her more stress. but i can still be rude sometimes.
i'm probably not supposed to be using this site like i am, but i'm learning how to live when someone dear to me has fibro and i dont know where else to go, so i guess i have to bother you guys. i dont want to give up on a relationship with her just because of some stupid health issue, but i feel like i need to figure out how i can be a positive part of her life while at the same time being content and happy within myselfView Thread

CHICAGO – DePaul is bringing in some talented reinforcements as the men's soccer program heads into the inaugural season of the new BIG EAST Conference.The Blue Demons' recruiting class of 2013 features high school All-American forward Pat Flynn of Naperville Central who was the Sun-Times and Daily Herald Player of the Year after finishing his senior season with 30 goals and 10 assists.Other local standouts that chose to play college soccer closer to home include Larkin's outstanding midfielder Erik Rodriguez, goalkeepers Philip Huang of Homewood-Flossmoor and Quentin Low of Stevenson and standout Maine South midfielder Simon Megally."The results of our recruiting philosophy have brought us a tremendous amount of local talent with five of our incoming freshmen from the Chicago area," said DePaul soccer coach Craig Blazer. "We focused on getting the best local kids while also recruiting the best quality that we can from everywhere else. In addition to the Chicago kids, we have recruits from Louisville, Ky., St. Louis, Minnesota, Cincinnati and one from Berlin, Germany.""It's an extremely talented group both athletically and academically. They also have the character and determination to get us back to the level of excellence we believe we can attain in the new BIG EAST Conference."Blazer believes the incoming freshmen will provide a lift to the Blue Demon program when they arrive on campus July 22 to begin summer classes."We feel this group can compete successfully at the Division I level, and they will get an opportunity because of the strengths they bring to the program," Blazer said. "With its sheer numbers, the 10-player recruiting class of 2013 is going to have an impact on our team."These guys are going to help us out in all areas of the field. We have attacking midfielders, wing midfielders, a forward, defenders and two goalkeepers. It covers everything."This recruiting class has very good skills sets, high character and they are academically motivated. They have it all. From local to regional to international, they will all help us compete and qualify for the BIG EAST Championship."According to Blazer, the recruiting process went well for the DePaul coaching staff."It has been quite a year identifying and communicating with so many prospective student-athletes, and I'm very excited about this class," Blazer said. "I want to thank assistant coaches Mark Plotkin and Craig Reynolds for all their hard work along with the contributions from our academic and administrative staff."It's a pleasure to welcome this group and their families to the DePaul men's soccer program."Here's a rundown on the Blue Demon class of 2013:Pat Flynn, Naperville Central, forward: Named All-American his senior year after recording 30 goals and 10 assists in leading the Redhawks to second place in the Class 3A state tournament. The Chicago Sun-Times and Daily Herald Player of the Year also won a national championship with Galaxy Soccer Club and was selected to the all-tournament team at nationals.Erik Rodriguez, Larkin, midfielder: The two-time Daily Herald Player of the Year and All-State selection finished a stellar career with 90 goals and 52 assists. He led the Royals to three regional titles and twice to the sectional finals. Had 15 goals and 10 assists in leading the Chicago Magic PSG Academy team to the semifinals of the Dallas Cup in 2012.Philip Huang, Homewood-Flossmoor, goalkeeper: The Daily Southtown All-Area Team selection was ranked among the top 140 college soccer recruits in the country by ESPN High School Sports. He was selected from the Olympic Development Program to play goalie on the Illinois State U-15 Team.Simon Megally, Maine South, midfielder: This club soccer standout had seven goals and seven assists for Sockers FC last season. He is a four-star recruit according to topdrawersoccer.com and the No. 9-ranked player in the Midwest who led the Sockers to the US Club Soccer Regional Championship in 2011.Quentin Low, Stevenson, goalkeeper: The Pioneer Press 2012 Soccer Player of the Year led the Patriots to the semifinals in the state playoffs.

Check out the humble, more 'sophisticated' Paul Daley in this Whoa! TV collaboration
People on the internet say Paul Daley looks a lot like Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There's nothing wrong with that. If I had to pick a crew of mutated reptilians to be associated with, the turtles would definitely be at the top of a very short list. I would like to say all Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles love pizza, but that's a negative stereotype. I haven't even met a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. That's like saying all Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wear primary colored headbands. My entire belief system on mutated turtles was formed by the age of 10. The greatest thing about Paul Daley is that he appears like a guy who doesn't care that people repeatedly compare him to a mutated turtle. He just wants to show the world that he has grown up, become more humble and even a tad more 'sophisticated.' Check out this Whoa! TV collaboration video of Paul Daley giving us an update on what he's been up to. [Source]

Putting the boot in
Robert Smithĺs plan was to put The Cure on
ice while he took a sabbatical and watch England play in the World
Cup. Wellthatĺs been blown out of the water. So, how better to exorcise World Cup dissapointment than make
arrangements for another album and indulge in some playful backstabbing?
The last time Robert Smith was spotted, he
was in a graveyard. Given that the man has recently been putting out
new records faster than Elton John can sell his second hand jewerly, one would be forgiven for being concerned
but, fortunately, it didnĺt turn out to be anything serious.
öOh, you saw Newman and Baddiel,ö he says of
his appearance leading a congo around the final resting place of
Rob Newman. The cameo was just the latest exsample of Smithĺs attempts to shake off his image as a ödoom and
gloom merchantö, but since people didnĺt see the funny side of The Cure even after Tim Popeĺs effort to make the
band look absurd, it seems unlikely that theyĺll be enlightened by a bit of backslapping. You see that miserable
bedsit student? Thatĺs Robert Smith, that is.
öItĺs 12 years ago, but weĺll always be stuck
with it,ö says Smith, admitting defeat. öWhen we did Disintegration,
people said we were going back to our roots, whereas in fact our roots are ĺBoys donĺt cryĺ and that sort of idiot
The stereotype has its plus points, not least
that itĺs played a part in helping tha band to sell approximately 20
million records to date. The again, fans do have a habit of popping up in hotel laundry baskets like so many lost
Tribbles, wherever Smith goes.
öI would hate us to get to a level where that
impinged on everything we did,ö Smith sighs. öIĺm sort of worried
about the fact that weĺve become quite popular in America. It was very difficult to go out there, because the
level of hysteria is much higher. I find it really gets in the way.ö Until last month, the Cure Klux Klan presented
Smith with a problem. He had planned a long break in the US to coincide with the World Cup Finals. Fortunately,
Graham Taylor seems to have removed the prime motivation for making the trip. Smith, though, is determined to
take a holiday.
öIĺd like to take a lot of time off, maybe
all through next year, and do things as a person rather than a singer or
someone in The Cure.ö
In the past, a fear verging on paranoia made Smith pursue his career though hell and high water.
öit was always at the back of my mind that
people would forget who we were. There are always people around
sowing seeds of doubt: ĺIf you go away for too long, you canĺt really come back.ĺö
The pressure led to distiputes and long list
of casualties. One former member, Lol Tolhurst, is even suing Smith,
much to his bewilderment: öHis lawyers must be kaughing all the way to the bank. I think itĺs really sad. For past
five years, Lol was just like a piece of dead wood, basically.ö
Smith is now as confident of the future as
he is of the impending court case. öI think if we took a two-year break,
wouldnĺt matter at all as long as what we did next was good.ö
This new-found self-assurance has allowed him to slip on a pair of rubber gloves and do what he loves most.
öWhen I had my first day at home for a long
time,ö he enthuses. öI went into the garden and pulled out two
yearsĺ worth of weeds. I really enjoyed it!ö Just how long heĺll be content among spiders and caterpillars remains
to be seen. He already has ideas about where heĺd like to record the next album.
öIĺd like to record somewhere really different.
Rent s really big house and get a mobile in and set up in the dining
room. Maybe New England; itĺd be nice in September or October. Very us.ö
Such positive comments are encouraging. In
the past, Smithĺs ambiguity has led to much speculation about The
Cureĺs future. Also, the signals that his recent film (The Cure Show) and two live albums sent out the public were
not particularly positiveľthey could easily be construed as a quick cash-in before the bandĺs inevitable
termination. Smith admits he wasnĺt entirely convinced himself about the film, although for a different reason.
öMy only reluctance about making the film was
that it was another period of looking back, a retrospective,ö he
says. öI just sort of worry, because thatĺs what record companies do to groups when theyĺve run out of ideas!
öI suppose the fact that weĺve doen the film
shows that I am worried about how the group is remembered. Iĺm
not bothered on a personal level. I donĺt worry about my epitaph, for instance. I donĺt want to be remembered for
anything in particular, other than being in a pop group that was good.ö
While always acknowledging Tim Popeĺs part
in the bandĺs history, Smith finds the suggestion that The Cureĺs
success relied upon his work öa pretty extreme viewö. Certainly, the director never managed to capture the
majesty of the band with the luxuriant but inherently dull The Cure In Orange. Pope, tired of promos and hearing
Smith öwailing away about the same old rubbishö, turned his attention to film making. Subsequently, Aubrey
Powell directed the video for ĺA Letter To Eliseĺ, and was given the dubious honour of directing The Cure Show.
Like Pope before him, he was unable to come up with a Battleship Potemkin, or even Absolute Beginners. öWe
were kind of cajoled into sacrificing Timĺs imagination for someone elseĺs workmanship abilities,ö says Smith
curtly, öand I really wished that weĺd used him. It would have been a much better film.ö
Show starts with sepia shots of happy fans
heading for the Detroit concert before abruptly cutting to colour, like
Dorothyĺs house dropping on the Wicked Witch Of The East from a height. öThat was it, that was the idea!ö
Smith insists. öThe whole idea for the colour was portraying that sort of magical world that was almost unreal,
like hyper-real, and I thought of introducing us as charaters because, despite ourselves, itĺs very difficult not to
ham when thereĺs a camera around.ö
Sadly, the öhammingö did not extend to any
surreptious after-Show antics. No Truth Or Dare. No shots of
drummer Boris going down on a Diet Coke. öI think itĺll be watched more in the future,ö says Smith hopefully.
öI supposed in a way a film of people who have either died or given up is interesting in about five or ten yearsů
in a funny way.ö
As usual, he leaves his opinions open for the
final resting day of The Cure. Five more years may seem
implausible but Smith, ever the Peter Pan of the Ian Curtis generation, seems more worried about growing up
than growing old.
öI worry sometimes that I donĺt feel as old
as I am,ö he says. ö With the press, itĺs the agethat makes me laugh
the most. An interview I did mentioned my age three times, for no apparent reason! The following issue featured
Michael Hutchence. Now, I donĺt really compare how we look or anything, but I donĺt think I look much older
than him. Certainly not close up! And yet no mentionĺs made of his age or INXSĺs age and the combined total
of INXSĺs age far outweighs The Cureĺs age!ö
At this point, Smithĺs adolescent streak takes over, and he launches into a monologue.
öBefore the WISH tour, I wanted to travel around
Britain and have that feeling we used to have, a small group
against the odds going really close to the audience, where you canĺt get away with the light show. But then I
remembered why I hated it: itĺs dingy and itĺs smelly and itĺs nice we donĺt have to play these places. Then I see
INXS doing it, and this pandering interviewer saying to him:ĺOh, did you start out playing small places?ĺ Well,
everyone started out playing fucking clubs! You donĺt start out playing stadiums. And he spouts all these
contrived reasons for doing it. And then they that song with all the models in it and he said it was saying that
women donĺt have to conform to this notion of beauty, while all he fucking does is go out with models! Heĺs
become my most hated person of the moment.ö
One can only wonder where that leaves old pal Morrissey.
öI have never liked Morrissey, and I still
donĺt. I think itĺs hilarious, actually, the things Iĺve heard about him,
what heĺs really like, and his public persona is so different. Heĺs such an actor. Thereĺs one particular photo of
Morrissey in his swimming trunks sitting by a swimming pool in Los Angeles. I bet that has never been
Morrissey is renowed for being sensitive about
his media image and insisting on picture approval for
photographic shoots. The fact that Smith does the same himself seems irrelevant to the singer, who decides to
move swiftly on to a new target.
öI donĺt dislike my peers because theyĺre still
around and remiond meof what Iĺm doing. I never liked them
anyway. I never liked U2, the things theyĺve done over the years. Bonoĺs so totally absorbed in the idea of
himself as almost messianic and then he turns round and realises he looked a complete prat, and says:ĺOh,
actually, it was irony.ĺö
Even more ironic, then, that Brett Easton Ellisĺs
American Psycho had a quasi-religious experience watching
Bono at a U2 gig. And that was before Zooropa, the flashing swatikas andöůthe Edge intoning platitues over a
really tired backingö.
öIf we were to do something like that single,ö
Says Smith, almost flabbergashed, öit wouldnĺt get beyond the
demo stage. Iĺd think someone in the group was seriously taking a piss!ö
Smith is clearly on a roll and, having run
out of contemporaries, he turns his focus on 1993ĺs Mercury Award
winners. öSuede are just rehashing old Bowie songs. Itĺs kind of missing the point, but probably if youĺre 17 and
18, it is the point. But having been around for 34 years now, Iĺm seing things being reworked and it probably
didnĺt happen before the 60ĺs, because everything was being invented.ö He pauses, then says quietly, öMary
[Smithĺs wife] was telling me I mustnĺt be horrible about other groups in interviews. She says Iĺm always talking
about people I hate, and I sound bitter. But I donĺt do it viciously and it doesnĺt matter one way or the other
what I think. I donĺt really mix with groups. I read who was at Suedeĺs concert and thereĺs this list of celebs. Iĺd
cringe to be part of that list. Itĺs this imaginary world that they try to foster on the public where everyone
knows everyone else a nd they all go out for a ! drink together at the end of the day. Itĺs rubbish!ö
And we believed Rob Newman and Robert Smith were good matesů

Why is my adamm.log file 13GB?
The file date is from 2/22/2012, which is before we migrated to this server, so I'm suspicous this is a left over file from the migration.
C:\Program Files\Symantec\BACKUP EXEC\logs\adamm.log
Can I delete it?
Comments 6 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Basically Adamm log keeps on updating the latest entries for device and media related to backup exec if you wish to delete it then you will need to stop the Sql service for bkupexec and then delete the adamm log else it will not allow you to delete it
Once deleted please start SQl service and other Backup Exec services and new adamm file would be generated
Hope that helps
Don't forget to give a "Thumbs Up" or Mark as "Solution" if someones advice has helped you.
Normally the adamm.log is size limited, I think it is limited to 1 MB. Whenever BE services start, if the adamm.log is "too big", it gets renamed and a new file created.
Yes, you can delete or rename this file when BE services are stopped.
I am curious why this file is dated "2/22/2012". Is that the date of the file? Or the date of the oldest entry in the file? Since this file gets written to every time BE starts services, a file with a date of 2/22/2012 would imply that the BE services have not been restarted since then.
If you find this is a solution for the thread, please mark it as such.
SGMon Verbose is already unchecked.
@Larry, that is the date of the file, last modified date to be specific. There are lots of %MachineName% - beengine##.log and %MachineName% - beremote##.log files dated every few weeks, so probably corresponds to machine reboots. Did these log files have a default name change when I reinstalled on the new server?
It does sound like it's safe to delete, true?
Here are the last few lines from the log:

The Orioles unveiled Earl Weaver's statue in the left field picnic area of Camden Yards before Saturday's game against the Indians. But instead of playing like the teams Earl is best remembered for leading, the current-day Orioles, the ones that took the field after the ceremony, more closely resembled the mid-80's squads that he came back to manage. And as a result of doing so for the past several weeks, the current-day Orioles are about to get a bit of a face-lift.
This will be a rather unique facelift. After all, how often does a patient go into their doctor's office and say, "make me look 41-years older, with an additional 21 years' experience"? Not very often.
Much of the chatter around the ballpark Saturday centered around Weaver, and the birds' acquisition of veteran DH Jim Thome. And, why not? It's not as if the home team gave the fans a lot to cheer about.
The pitching? It was pretty abysmal from the very first pitch, when Sin-Shoo Choo singled to center. Orioles starter Dana Eveland (L, 0-1) would go on to surrender two more hits, a walk, and a run in the first. He gave up another run in the second on Choo's second homer of the series, and was charged with three more in the fourth, the inning Buck Showalter decided, he'd seen enough.
Tommy Hunter replaced Eveland, and he was positively brutal. His final line: 1.2IP, 8H, 5ER, 2 strikeouts, a walk, and, of course, a home run—the 20th he's allowed this year. Overall, the Orioles allowed 11 Earned Runs on 19 Hits, two of which were home runs.
The defense? How about two more errors for the worst defensive team in baseball, this time by JJ Hardy and Adam Jones.
The offense? Well, it has been worse. Certainly there were good moments, like Chris Davis closing a 5-1 deficit to 5-4 with a long, 3-run homer onto Eutaw Street. Earl Weaver, the 3-run homer's biggest advocate, had to be smiling about that one. The birds were still just 2-7 with runners in scoring position. There was another double play, but overall, when a team scores 5 runs, it should win the game.
The Thome acquisition will be front and center at Camden Yards Sunday. Thome is expected to suit up for the Orioles in the series finale, and the birds will welcome any additional offense to the mix. After all, Brian Matusz (5-9, 5.24) is pitching, and he has been among the very worst pitchers in the game over his last four starts.
The GOOD:
- Another great pre-game ceremony honoring an Orioles legend.
- Kevin Gregg was a bright spot, albeit in a mop up role: 1IP, 0R, 1BB, 2K.
The BAD:
- Combine Eveland's and Hunter's lines, and here's what you come up with: 5.1IP, 14H, 10ER, 7K, 3BB, 2HR. Now, combine the lines of all the starters in the series so far, and it looks like this: 13.2IP, 20H, 16R/ER, 10K, 7BB, 4HR. The starters' ERA this series is 10.53. We could add Hunter's numbers to those, but we'd get flagged for piling on.
- The top two in Cleveland's order is killing the Orioles. Leadoff man Choo and #2 man Asdrubal Cabrera are a combined 15-for-29 (.517), with 11 runs, a double, four walks, four home runs and 11 RBIs.

Headed out to Emmigrant Wilderness to shake out some new gear and well, just to get out! I spoke to a ranger the day before heading out and was warned of massive amounts of mosquitos and wet conditions due to the ongoing snowmelt. I was also warned about the rough driving up to Gianelli trailhead. Well I have done many trips out of Crabtree so I thought it would be no big deal. Yep the road up is rough but if you go slow, it really was not that bad. The weather was great and to be honest, the mosquitos were not that bad, the snow was easy to deal with and it was a good trip just to get away. On this trip, I was joined by Justin who is new to hiking on the light side. Justin brought along a custom made Z Pack and a Hexamid tent. Justin was a great hiking partner and I hope to see him at our 4th Annual BPL weekend next year!Gianelli Cabin Trailhead...this was my first time using this trailhead. I have done many, many trips out of Crabtree and Kennedy Meadows. But this was my first and not my last time starting here. I loved it! 10 years of hiking here and I have never used this trailhead before....that will changeLooking east towards the backcountrySnow....snow patches were around but was easily navigated. Just play the game, "if I were a trail, where would I go"Me atop of Burst Rock looking towards The 3 ChimneysUsually a sign like this in the backcountry would be a HUGE bummer. But since I dig history, I thought this was rather cool. The sign explains how emigrants passing through this area had to overcome. Pretty cool.Little snow cave on the trail. Should I go under or should I go over............Looking towards the east and the high countryLooking towards 3 Chimneyslooking towards the high country and where the PCT isPowell LakeMy GG SpinnTwinn tarp and Bear Paw Minalmist 1.

Nice report and pictures! What elevation is the trailhead you started at?
Thanks Chris....the elvation is around 8500-8600. Lots of snow on the north facing slopes
KenPretty sweet... still sooo much snow!How gnarly were the mosquitos? Did you feel comfy using the net bivy/inner tent thing under the tarp?
Makes me want to get out even more (like that's possible) and get some miles in this season.Crazy snow year. Looks like you were a happy camper!
Mosquitos were not bad at all. I was ready for the worst. As for my trap/bivy combo? It worked out pretty well. Though the weather was mild. Ken, yeah this year has been strange with all the snow. Get out! Hike!

Archive for the 'CSX 2093' tag
Bruce Larson's Dragonsnake on the Market
Bruce Larson's Dragonsnake Cobra – CSX 2093 – will be available for purchase once again. When last we saw it, Mecum Auctions had it at their annual Kissimmee, Florida, event held in late January. This was back in 2007, and it sold for a whopping $1,417,500 (which included a 5 percent buyer's premium) – it was the top sale of the auction. Just landing on our desk was news of its impending sale at auction: Mecum at their annual Kissimmee event in January 2011.
Listed as lot S121.1 (it's estimated that it'll cross the block on Saturday, January 29 at 2:45 p.m.), the '63 Cobra has documented race and build history; it's one of eight such cars modified by Shelby for the quarter-mile.

Chinatown (San Francisco)San Francisco, California
Period of significance: 1851 - present
In 1851, 25,000 Chinese immigrants resided in Chinatown. Today, about 33% of the city's population is Chinese American. The traditional borders are Bush, Broadway, Powell, and Kearney Streets, but the main tourist attractions are along Grant Avenue. Until the post-WWII period, the Chinese were restricted to this area, but, in the last part of the 20th century, moved to different parts of San Francisco and established satellite Chinatowns in the Richmond district and elsewhere. Important historic sites include the Tin How Temple (1852), Jeng Sen and Norras temples, Portsmouth Square, the Old Chinese Telephone Exchange, the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory, the Chinese Baptist Church, the Chinese Six Companies, the Kong Chow Temple, and the Chinese Cultural Center (see individual site listings for more information).
