L'Oreal HI Metallic Shadows have a few new shades to collect if you're a fan. Not sure if these are an limited edition run but check out special displays at your drugstore for the newest shades releasing, I'd say it was around 6 or so new colors. I picked up two of 'em to review.
Check 'em!
Cheap as chips metallic eyeshadow that can be used wet or dry and has a super pigmented formula!
Gotta love on these for pigmentation alone. These have incredible color pay off and should appeal to those in the realms of budget beauty who want something with a great formula.
The formula resembles that of a traditional Stila shadow and is much like a loosely packed pigment. Feels like a cross between a cream and a shadow to me on some levels. It's very smooth and buttery and applies quite dreamy however blending two shades does prove a challenge.
I got two shades which were Shocked (buttery gold yellow and sage green) and Charged (bronze penny and rich chocolaty bronze). You can use the shades wet or dry and although L'Oreal deems them metallic I always find that they apply more frosty with alot of sparkle/shimmer.
Packaging proves awesome on these. Always been a very big fan of the HIP package design as it has the shadows on top with a stealthy bottom for the applicator storage.
Fall out is crazy! You'll pretty much experience crazy fall out from these no matter how much you prep prior to use or how carefully you apply.
I hate that they look frosty on my lids as I can't pull off frost so well.
One shade applies dreamy but following up with another sometimes proves difficult as colors tend to not blend well and become muddy, could be my blending skills but I blame the formula in this case!
- Anyone seeking a highly pigmented eyeshadow duo for around $6-$7.
- Anyone who likes shadows that dupe Stila's popular formula.
- Anyone who hates fall out woe!
- Anyone who doesn't like shimmery or frosty finishes.
L'Oreal HIP Shadows have come along way and in some cases are quite good from my original view of them which was, "these suck!". I actually enjoyed both shades I purchased however I wish they blended out a bit better and had a less than frosty finish. Honestly, for the price, I can't complain much because the formula is a pretty decent dupe of a Stila Eyeshadow if you're a fan plus you get two shades for the price of one. Not too bad deal particularly if you're looking for shades to spice up your Summer makeup wardrobe (Charged, awesome Summer-y shade).
(Eyes: L'Oreal HIP Metallic Shadow in Shocked)
These are available now at your local drugstore!
Any HIP fans?
Did you haul these?
What do you like about HIP eyeshadow?

This product was purchased by the Muse for review purposes.

7/1/10 4:58 Christine:
I got this in Electrified yesterday! I really love the colors, even though I agree the metallic shade is frosty. Didn't have any fallout issues. I noticed that the Metallic HiP duos don't come with a mirror, which is too bad, since my other HiP duo does, and it comes in handy!
8/9/10 13:31 Angela:
I also got and like Electrified. And was totally disappointed by the lack of mirror. Oh well.
8/9/10 14:31 Angela:
I actually thought it was a mistake until I read this. I just assumed that mine was a bum one that somehow didn't get a mirror. *shrugs* I'm bummed, as I usually use my duo mirror (on "Foxy", I believe it's called) as my mirror for all my makeup stuff as opposed to carrying a separate mirror in my bag.
7/1/10 18:33 Charmaine:
No more mirror, huh? Seems like a cost cutting tactic to me :-\
But I still might get one if there's a BOGO or some other fantastic offer:-)
7/2/10 15:07 Michilicious ~ Potatisbruden:
I think you pull these frosts off great!
I love those shadows 😀 And I love that I can actually afford them easily
7/3/10 23:35 chichi:
hi muse, i love those colors, i have those but they are a mess to apply… im so jealous of your clear skin, i wish mine is like that
7/7/10 17:13 heidi:
Hi Muse!
I tried this eyeshadow in a different color (can't remember the name) and am sad to say that they don't blend very well. The texture was slightly chalky and not all that pigmented. *sigh* I'd rather spend more money on quality products such as MAC or MUFE.

Funds from operations (FFO) increased 14% to $185 million or $0.70 per unit as compared with $162 million or $0.61 per unit in the prior year. Results benefited from higher electricity prices in the northeastern United States and Brazil, which added $35 million to FFO in the quarter. Total generation for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 5,711 GWh, an increase of 176 GWh from the same period in the prior year. The hydroelectric portfolio generated 5,001 GWh, in-line with the long-term average (LTA) of 4,916 GWh and an increase of 222 GWh as compared to the first quarter of 2013. Generation from existing hydroelectric assets was 4,711 GWh compared to 4,779 GWh for the prior year. Portfolios acquired in Maine during the quarter and the first quarter of 2013 contributed another 231 GWh of generation, and a facility commissioned in Brazil in the first quarter of 2013 contributed an additional 59 GWh. The wind portfolio generated 610 GWh as compared to LTA of 635 GWh, and an increase of 71 GWh compared to the first quarter of 2013. Generation increased over the prior year due to improved wind conditions and an incremental 27 GWh from a full quarter's contribution from facilities acquired in California in the first quarter of 2013.

Prep Basketball: Late surge by Whitewater sinks Vikings in loss
By DOUG GORMAN
The Northgate Vikings might remember Tuesday night's Region 4B-AAAAA contest with visiting Whitewater as the one they let slip away.
After three quarters of exchanging the lead, Whitewater took control of the game over the final eight minutes and returned back to Fayetteville with a hard-fought 65-54 victory.
"We played hard," Northgate head coach Mack Cain said. "I can't say anything other than that. It was a good team we lost to tonight."
Whitewater took a 43-42 lead into the fourth quarter and finally wore down the Vikings, outscoring Northgate 22-12 in the final period to win going away.
The Vikings stayed in the game by hitting shots from long range. Northgate finished the contest with seven 3-pointers.
Luke Motzel drilled a 3-point shot late in the fourth quarter to cut the lead back to single digits at 57-50, but Whitewater closed out the game on a 8-4 run.
Aldrecus Evans paced the Vikings' offense with 12 points. Motzel finished with 10. Whitewater's Phil Cofer led all scorers with 28 points. Kyle Dugger added 15 and Darius Sharpe chipped in 10.
(To photos from these games, please visit http://photos.times-herald.com/mycapture and click on Sports for the Photo Gallery.)
Cofer, the Wildcats, 6-8 junior, dominated the game early by scoring 12 of his team's 15 points in the first quarter as Whitewater built a 15-13 lead.
With Cofer take control of the game inside the paint, including four of his points coming on dunks, Northgate had its own offensive weapon with Evans connecting on two 3-point shots in the first quarter.
Northgate whittled away at the Wildcats' lead throughout the second quarter. Motzel's basket at the 6:42 mark of the second period gave the Vikings their first lead of the game at 17-15.
The Vikings took another lead at 23-22 late in the second quarter on Wendell Watson's trey before the Wildcats eventually turned a one-point deficit into a 29-28 lead.
Northgate took control of the game early in the third quarter on a pair of treys from Motzel and Evans.
Evans' 3-pointer gave the Vikings a 40-36 cushion when Cofer took control of the game again with two back-to-back baskets.
Brother Mike Cofer added a key basket late in the third quarter to give the Wildcats a 43-42 lead.
Whitewater would never trail again, however in the fourth quarter, the Vikings cut into the lead one last time midway through the fourth quarter.
Trailing 47-42, Northgate's Tyler Dalhberg connected on a 3-pointer to cut the lead to 47-45. Motzel's basket on the Vikings' next trip down the floor tied the game for the last time at 47-47.
Northgate closes out the regular season with games at Starr's Mill Friday and at home Saturday against Pike County.
The contest will be Cain's last home game. After more than two decades as a head coach Cain is retiring at the end of the school year.
"I told our guys after the game that I was proud of the effort," Cain said. "We have two big games coming up and we are going to keep working."
• Girls – Whitewater 53, Northgate 32
The Whitewater Lady Wildcats led from start to finish Tuesday night to defeat Northgate 53-32.
Whitewater built a 21-8 lead at the end of the first quarter and extended it to 31-15 at the break en route to the win.
After Taylor Kidner hit a pair of free throws in the first quarter for Northgate to cut the lead to 11-8, the Lady Wildcats seized the momentum with an 11-0 run. Northgate took itself out of the game with some lean offensive production in the second quarter as it only hit one of three shots from the field.
Katie Mitchell was responsible for most of the Lady Vikings' offensive production finishing the game with two 3-point shots and 14 points. Kaeyln Duggers scored 10 points in the first quarter for the Lady Wildcats and finished with a game-high 17. Teammate Jada Collins added 12.
Northgate fell to 5-14 overall and 2-11 in Region 4B-AAAAA. Whitewater improved to 13-9 overall and 7-5.

Dried Pumpkin
What's happening down on the allotment? An intimate account of a passionate veggie grower.
Matron, that is a fantastic idea!!! I purchase dried apple chips all the time. I may have to get me one of those dehydrator machines, and save myself some money.
you are a clever girl...kisses to the ever funny Leo, keep up the nibbling
Does your sister still have her hens? They would like a slice or two to peck at ;-)
How do they taste as nibbles?
Pumpkin Bread with walnuts is excellent!!
Pumpkin Bread with walnuts is excellent. Good Christmas present too..
I've never heard of dried pumpkin but sounds good.
I wonder if you whiz them in a food processor, could you then add to baking..like breads or cakes. What a fantastic idea to dry the pumpkin.
Looks yummy and delicious.

Grimsby Borough suffer away loss at Rossington Main
Posted: September 25, 2012|
ANDY Taylor netted his second goal in two games – but Grimsby Borough slipped to a 3-1 defeat on the road against ten-man Rossington Main.
The Wilderness Boys travelled to the Doncaster area six players down on their previous match, when they beat Hallam 1-0.
Borough started well and saw their opponents reduced to ten men, for an apparent stamp, on 20 minutes.
Taylor should have opened the scoring when he pushed a shot just wide of the post.
From the goal-kick, Jonathan Mirfin was allowed a free shot at goal, but Borough stopper Mike Sleeth pulled off a great reaction save to push the ball out for a corner.
There was no stopping Mirfin moments later, though, when he fired home after Borough were unable to clear a corner.
Five minutes later, the hosts doubled their lead amid sloppy Borough defending.
But the visitors pulled a goal back within the first minute of the second half. Lewis Buckthorp won possession and picked out Taylor and he beat the keeper with an unstoppable drive into the top corner.
Jordan Ramsden's shot almost led to an equaliser, but nobody was following up when the Rossington goalkeeper spilled the shot.
Borough were caught pushing forward late on and, in the 94th minute, Clark scored to ensure the three points went to the hosts.

EXCLUSIVE: Ari Gold: I am Jewish. I am Gay. I am a Songwriter
Award-winning musician, Ari Gold, is most proud of the gay wedding song he's performed at heterosexual ceremonies.
By: SL Exclusive
Published: March 6th, 2012 in Culture » Music » Interviews
Shalom Life is proud to present our first Jewish LGBTQ series. We asked 10 public figures (ranging from comedians and actors to children's book authors and musicians) to complete the following sentence:
I am Jewish. I am Gay. I am _________________
In the blank space, each participant has placed a personality trait, hobby, profession, descriptive adjective, or an interesting tidbit of information that describes an element of their being. Additionally, they have personally written a paragraph explaining their choice and how that choice defines them.
Religion and sexuality are integral to our self-identification, but they define us just as much as our interests, personality, career choices, philanthropic work, and talents.
Enjoy our series and share your thoughts in the comments section below.
Day 5- Ari Gold
I am Jewish. I am Gay. I am a Songwriter.
I'll never forget the first songs I wrote when I was 15 called "Parental Discretion," and then a song called "Experienced Girl" about my first girlfriend. One of the most successful songs I ever wrote is called "Where The Music Takes You" which aside from making the Billboard Top 10 Dance charts and winning the Grand Prize in all genres of the USA Songwriting Competition it's also my motto for life. But probably the song I'm most proud of writing to date is a song called "Bashert (Meant To Be)." It is a gay wedding song which I've had the distinct honor of singing at 3 gay weddings, a lesbian wedding and even 4 heterosexual weddings! It's the greatest feeling to be able to bring my gift of music to a day celebrating my friends and family's commitments of love to one another.
SIR ARI GOLD is an Award-Winning, Billboard Top 10 Recording Artist who has been featured on VH-1, MTV, NPR, IFC, BBC, WOR, Fox News, Top of the Pops, Perez Hilton, Daily Beast, Sirius/XM, HBO, and LOGO (with six #1 videos) for pushing the boundaries of pop music.
People Magazine says his latest dance-pop album Between the Spirit & the Flesh "packs born-this-way swagger" and Clive Davis says, "he writes from the heart." His songs have been featured on hit TV shows "Scrubs" and "Cougar Town" and he's headlined shows with Cyndi Lauper, RuPaul & Chaka Khan in Europe, Canada and over 50 cities in the U.S including his native NYC at Summerstage Central Park, Joe's Pub and Lincoln Center.
Sir Ari is an Independent Music Award Winner, 2x Outmusic Award Winner, Grand Prize Winner of the USA Songwriting Competition, an OUT100 and was knighted by the Imperial Court of New York. His latest singles "Make My Body Rock" and "Sparkle" (featuring Sarah Dash from Labelle) are burning up dance floors and charts across the country.

Chloë Sevigny is following up her stint on "Big Love" by becoming a man. The actress will play a male Irish assassin who has her umlauts removed to become a woman in an upcoming miniseries. She was short with details when she spoke with BlackBook, but here's what we know:
"It's a British production for Sky Atlantic, and I'm playing a pre-op male-to-female tranny assassin. It's very realistic. It's being created by a lot of the people who were involved in the original "Skins", so it's going to be very edgy."
Sounds great to me but I'd be interested to know whom from the original "Skins" is behind this. I'm going to go try to blend in at a rave to get to the bottom of this.
Consider posting a comment.

The first one out is a movie test to see how the Gigaworks S750 manages in a home theater environment.
Star Wars I - The Phantom Menace
A DVD-movie which you probably know of, where the sound effects
are massive.
A perfect test for your home theater equipment.
|Media type:
|Audio format:
Dolby® Digital 5.1 EX™
If you play back a DVD-movie
with a lot of effects, like the one I chose (Star Wars - The Phantom
Menace), you get to feel it too. With the word feel, I do of course mean
one of the opening scenes in the movie where the ships are heading
towards the planet, or the great battle scene where they drive around
with huge vehicles. Set the cut frequency to 80 Hz and increase the
volume of the bass a bit more. Remember not to have any porcelain laying
around or any other sensitive stuff close by, because I can guarantee
that it will shake your entire living room. It is just like as if you
stood next to the troops while they march past you.
Saving Private Ryan
Steven Spielberg's discussed war drama in a DVD edition with
double DVD discs full with bonus material and DTS audio.
Media type:
|Audio format:
Dolby® Digital 5.1 EX™ and DTS
The sixth of July, 1944, Ohama Beach, also known as the D-Day. The boats slowly approach the beach and I always by instinct look behind me because of the sound of the water and distant grenade explosions circulates my position in the room's center. A complete silence when the main character jumps down under the water, followed by chaos when the bullets begin to fly around the running soldiers. Firm ground under the feet and they rush away to stay alive, at the same time as the sound from the subwoofer makes it move around the floor when the grenades hit the ground. I switch to the built-in speaker in the TV for a moment and can't understand that it is the same movie. Once again it's proved, the sound makes half the film.
Soldiers of Fortune II
A PC game with a lot of effects and is especially good to test the surround sound.
|Media type:
PC game
|Audio format:
EAX® Advanced HD™ 3.0
Then it's time to look at
what this package can offer to those who mainly play games on their PC.
Many people might believe that you can not use and utilize 7.1 sound in
games, but it is completely possible and to my surprise it actually
gives a major enhancement to the game experience. The engine it self in
this is the EAX Advanced HD which can deliver realistic, what I chose to
call environment effects. This of course assume that you have a sound
card that support this, for example Audigy 2 ZS.
When it comes to settings for this type of application there are no direct values so you have to configure it from game to game. A bit adjustment is needed though, a bit depending on how demanding you are too. I can tell you to not increase the volume of the bass too much because then you definitely have to change your underwear when an enemy jumps out of the corner and shoots at you in Soldiers of Fortune 2. It is not without being a bit afraid of the dark playing in the night I can tell you, and it is completely because of that the sound is around you all the time and at anytime someone can attack you from behind and you hear that before you see it in this game. This is a feeling that you hardly get from a couple of headphones.
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
A PC game especially equipped to test the new EAX 4.0 with
sound from and in several environments simultaneously.
|Media type:
PC game
|Audio format:
EAX® Advanced HD™ 4.0
When it comes to Jedi Academy I have included this game because it has got support for the new EAX® 4.0 where you can mix effects from and in several environments at the same time. For example it can be yourself shooting your gun in a barrel which echoes while another guy stands in the water and shoots at you a bit away. The sound card and the speakers are able to reproduce both, "exactly" as in the reality, something that adds a lot of great feelings to the game if I may say so.You can read more about it in this article.

Panetta says Hagel prepared for Defense job
WASHINGTON — Republicans grilling Defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel last week focused too much on the past instead of addressing more pressing military issues, departing Defense chief Leon Panetta said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"It's pretty obvious the political knives were out for Chuck Hagel," Panetta said, according to a transcript.
Hagel, a 66-year-old former Nebraska senator selected for the job by President Obama, was grilled by fellow Republicans during a Jan. 31 confirmation hearing. Among other issues, he was questioned about why he opposed the 2007 surge in Iraq.
"What disappointed me is that they talked a lot about past quotes, but what about what a secretary of Defense is confronting today?" Panetta said, pointing to problems such as terrorism, defense spending cuts and cyber attacks. "All of the issues that confront a secretary of Defense, frankly, we just did not see enough time spent on discussing those issues."
Panetta, 74, said he is "absolutely" confident Hagel is prepared to take on the job.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, declined to say whether he has confidence in a man "who could be my boss." Hagel has "great credentials," Dempsey said on the same NBC program.
In a separate interview on CNN's "State of the Union," Dempsey said Hagel is "very thoughtful and very well prepared and very interested."
"If he's confirmed, I'm sure that we'll establish a very close working relationship," Dempsey said, according to a transcript provided by CNN.
Panetta, asked about military spending on NBC, said, "If Congress stands back and allows sequester to take place, I think it would really be a shameful and irresponsible act."
"In a world of responsible politics, it should not happen," he said.
Reduced funding for the military received renewed attention last week after a 22.2 percent drop in defense spending helped bring the growth of the nation's gross domestic product to a minus 0.1 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter, the first contraction since the recession ended in 2009. The decline in defense purchases was the biggest since 1972, when military spending slumped in the closing years of the Vietnam War.
Automatic spending cuts that would reduce the defense budget by $45 billion this fiscal year will kick in on March 1 unless the Obama administration and Congress work to stop them. The Defense Department has said 800,000 civilian employees may have to be furloughed, losing two days per pay period.
"There's this notion that that's probably OK, because they're just a bunch of white-collar bureaucrats," yet 86 percent of those affected will be outside Washington, Dempsey said on NBC. "This will affect the entire country, and it will undermine our readiness for the next several years."
Panetta said he couldn't verify whether Iran was pursuing nuclear weapons.
"Every indication is they want to continue to increase their nuclear capability," he said. "And that's a concern. And that's what we're asking them to stop doing."
Were Iran to pursue a nuclear weapon, Dempsey said on NBC, the U.S. military could "destroy their capability."
Vice President Joe Biden said yesterday the U.S. is ready for direct talks about the contested nuclear program as soon as the Islamic Republic's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei makes a commitment to negotiate. U.S. and Iranian diplomats haven't acknowledged bilateral meetings since October 2009, when they came together at a nuclear gathering in Geneva.

Trader wants north-south railway link extended to Clark-A A +A
Wednesday, July 9, 2014
ANGELES CITY -- A tycoon has asked the government to extend the P271 billion North-South Commuter Railway linking Calamba, Laguna in the south and Malolos, Bulacan in the north, to Clark Freeport.
Businessman Rene Romero said the project, which is declared the biggest Public Private Partnership (PPP) "depicts an unwarranted disregard and invalidation of North Luzon's role in the country's economic growth."
Romero asked the Regional Development Council (RDC) to pass a resolution requesting the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) to consider the railway link to the Freeport and Clark International Airport (CRK).
"The big ticket project palpable omission of Clark in the northern link are both disheartening and perplexing when we note that no less than aviation industry savants, economic development experts, architects and planners of global repute and even government executives and legislator acknowledge and enthuse over the Clark International Airport's globally-acclaimed aviation facilities and its expansive area conducive for aeronautical and logistics hub development," Romero stated in his letter dated July 1, 2014 to RDC Central Luzon Chairman Wilhelmino Sy-Alvarado.
"Bakit hanggang sa Malolos lang yung railway? Ang laki ng development sa Clark Freeport at Clark International Airport ngayon," Romero said.
Romero, RDC 3 private sector representative for trade and industry and vice-chairman of the Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Incorporated (PamCham), added that the Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) conceptualized the Clark Green City, a massive and comprehensive development plan capitalizing on the economic expediencies of Clark, Subic, and Region 3.
He also urged the national government to be prudent on spending the tax-payers' money.
The people were already dismayed by controversies on Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) and Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP), according to Romero.
PamCham, which is advocating for the decongestion of Metro Manila for the country's sake, is an organization of prominent and credible businessmen and government leaders pronouncing Clark and Subic as drivers of growth, he said.
Clark airport's full utilization and development has been predicted by economists and urban planners and developers.
The Freeport Area of Bataan and other investment areas in Central Luzon will ensure the free flow of passengers and goods to and from the Metro Manila, Romero added.
The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) acknowledged the advantages and potentials of Clark as an economic driver in the North, the trader stressed.
"I believe that for our country to fully realize inclusive growth and sustain its economic gains achieved thus far, the fair and equitable distribution of development and investments in the countryside must be seriously considered and implemented," Romero said in his letter to Alvarado.
"I also exhort our government agencies to recognize and acknowledge the economic contributions of urban growth centers outside the imperial Metro Manila because the Philippines, after all, is comprised of 17 regions and its economy is congruently propelled and impelled by regional growth, he added.

From "La dame aux camélias" to "La Taviata" - the risky undertaking of Giuseppe Verdi
Read the plot of the performance
Melodrama in 3 acts by Giuseppe Verdi
Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave
Setting: Paris and the surrounding area, circa 1850
Violetta Valéry, the beautiful friend of Baron Duphol, is entertaining guests at her house. The charming and attractive lady, who frequents the Parisian circles, attempts, in vain, to conceal the pain she is suffering due to her delicate health, by immersing herself in pure enjoyment. In fact, after a short period of time she is forced to interrupt her dance with Alfredo Germont, her secret admirer whom she has just met, due to an acute coughing fit. Her guest is deeply moved by her suffering and on an impulse declares his feelings for her. Violetta gives him a present of a Camelia, promising to see him again when the flower has withered. The party ends; as soon as she is alone, the woman feels for the first time an intense feeling and ardently desires to meet with the young Alfredo.
Scene I
A country villa outside Paris
The two lovers have established themselves in a little country villa outside Paris, happy and without a care. Violetta, in fact, doesn't accept the party invitation which her friend Flora Bervoix has sent her. Alfredo discovers from Violetta's maid that Violetta has sold some of her jewels to pay their expenses. He goes to Paris to obtain some money to repay the sacrifices his loved one has made from them. Meanwhile, while Alfredo is absent, his father Giorgio Germont arrives unexpectedly and pleads with Violetta to break off her sinful affair with his son, for it is a dishonour for the family and is ruining Alfredo's financial situation. Violetta, however, shows him proof that it is she, in fact, who has financed everything he sees around him.
The delicate Violetta is torn between the harsh words of her loved one's father and her love for Alfredo. She defends her feelings but Germont reveals that the relationship is, in fact, impeding his daughter's marriage. On hearing this Violetta resigns herself to the sacrifice. When Alfredo returns he meets Violetta who is just leaving the cottage, but he thinks she is just going on a brief errand. He learns the truth when he receives her goodbye note and is grief stricken. Subsequently, he is embittered, however, when he comes across the invitation to Flora Bervoix's party. He runs off in search of a way to gain revenge.
Scene II
Paris. Flora Bervoix's party
Distressed but reconciled to the fact that she must keep an unbridgeable distance from her recent experience with love, Violetta returns to frequenting the glamorous Parisian society. She arrives at Flora's party alongside Baron Duphol. Alfredo has already arrived at the party and when he sees the baron, he challenges him to a game of cards. The latter loses a small fortune to Alfredo and Violetta is fearful of the consequences. She pleads with Alfredo to leave the party, but when he replies that he is only prepared to leave in her company, the young woman is forced to lie. She reveals that she has promised the baron that she will not see Alfredo any more and this information causes pure anger to arise in the young man. In front of all present, he throws the money he has just won in the card game with contempt at Violetta's feet, intending in this way to pay back the expenses she has incurred. Alfredo's father is witness to the shameful gesture and reproaches his son for it, without having the courage, however, to reveal the truth to him.
Paris. The bedroom of the dying Violetta
The sorrowful scene is due to the precarious health of Violetta, who is, at this stage, confined to her bed without hope. A letter from Alfredo's father comforts her marginally, because he informs her of having disclosed the secret to his son and announces that Alfredo will soon be arriving to implore forgiveness. Violetta waits anxiously for the moment where she can embrace her loved one and hopes for a future full of happiness with him. But the encounter transforms into a bitter-sweet moment: Violetta has only the strength to give him a present of a locket, and to whisper that from heaven she will pray for him. She then exhales her final breath.

The Kings (18-14-5) are 3-0-1 under new coach Darryl Sutter and shut out the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday at the United Center. Jonathan Quick's 32-save shutout was his League-high fifth of the season, but Jonathan Bernier is a possibility to make his first appearance since Dec. 17. With 41 points, the Kings are ninth in the Western Conference.
The Kings did not hold a morning skate after arriving late from Chicago. After tonight's game, the Kings return home for a six-game homestand that begins Saturday night against Vancouver.
Simon Gagne (upper body) and Scott Parse (lower body) are not available for the Kings.
Here are the projected forward lines and defense pairings for Los Angeles:
Kyle Clifford - Anze Kopitar - Dustin Brown
Andrei Loktionov - Mike Richards - Trevor Lewis
Dustin Penner - Jarret Stoll - Justin Williams
Brad Richardson - Colin Fraser - Kevin Westgarth
Drew Doughty - Rob Scuderi
Willie Mitchell - Slava Voynov
Jack Johnson - Matt Greene
Jonathan Bernier likely will start in goal, with Jonathan Quick the backup.

For customers who use Nessus for vulnerability scanning and then move to SecurityCenter, vulnerability reporting may be somewhat challenging. This report mimics the look and feel of a typical Nessus scanner vulnerability report.
Like a Nessus scanner report, this report contains a Table of Contents, iterates host information, and provides a results summary and vulnerability details for all hosts scanned.
The results are presented in slightly different manner between the two reports. One significant difference that Nessus users will notice is that Nessus will color code the header with colors that represent the severity of the vulnerability. SecurityCenter contains a severity label in the header.
Overall, the data in both reports are presented in a similar fashion, with perhaps slightly more details being offered in this SecurityCenter version.
The report and its components are available in the SecurityCenter 4.7 Report app feed, an app store of dashboards, reports, and assets. The report requirements are:
- SecurityCenter 4.7.1
- Nessus 5.2.4

About Atia Malcom
Born in Uganda, a small East African country that is endowed with beauty and diversity, my childhood love for photography has grown from a passion for capturing the beauty of the world to starting a career in photography.
I would like to specialize in photography of landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes, animals in and around the East African region, with work exhibited internationally. Many of my photographs will feature the beautiful country of Uganda, but as well as capturing its iconic cities escapes.

I demand my birthday cake now~
Two what? Obviously, it is now two years since the establishment of T.H.A.T. Two years ago, four random friends on the Internet decided to set up an anime blog. None of us probably expected this tiny little anime blog to go anywhere, since the Internet is notorious for kicking newbies in the gut, solar plexis and the ass to gain any fame/infamy. With a blink of an eye, two years have past. With that in mind, Calawain asked me to write an anniversary post, despite my reluctance to write a boring post.
Impz: hahaha. i am thinking how to write it well
Calawain15: uh thank all the writers and commenters over the two years
Calawain15: and the other bloggers in the community
Calawain15: you're glad to be a part of such a great team of people, blah blah
Calawain15: hope we can continue for another year blah blah
Impz: that sounds so boring.
Calawain15: …..
Calawain15: it's just an anniversary post
However, I decided to get rid of my prejudices for such a post. It's important to thank the various important people and make a semi-serious evaluation of THAT bloggers. If you are wondering, none of them know that they are going to be evaluated, so they are likely to express as much surprise as you, the reader who is reading this.
Without my co-bloggers, THAT will never be THAT. It will be about green haired lolis and Tsuruya, which is not bad but not exactly great. It's time to bring the crystal ball of reminiscence and embarrassment. Let me bring you back into the history, where we first started as clueless bloggers of THAT. Alkanphel, Joo and Mr Admin were the initial anime bloggers in this humble blog, and it soon became a behemoth of a team. I think I will make a separate entry on remarkable commentators, since it is probably way too much to include them in this post. The three new bloggers and Maipeisu are not included, so thank your lucky stars for escaping my evaluation!
The past and present bloggers of THAT
Alkanphel was the random poster, putting up a picture and less than a paragraph of words. In his own words, he said that it's hard to write anything because he is so darn lazy. That reminds me that I got to stay back this Tuesday at work, so that I can meet him up in lunch at my university. If you checked his first post in THAT, you know exactly what I mean.
Jooo writes on J-drama, and she simply got bored of writing in THAT, and returned to her personal blog. Now, unless I am mistaken, she hardly watches any anime anymore since the J and K-drama bug has bitten her completely into a convert. As expected, Joo's first entry is about Goong, a very popular K-drama series two years ago.
Mr. Admin, well, I don't know but he is probably having a hell of a time with his girlfriend still. He was in charge of the administrative matters, setting up this blog and ya, admin stuff. Oh, I fail to meet him the two times I am in California too. His first post is coincidentally on the site launch of THAT, which represents our humble start.
Lupus, oh Lupus, how do I start? Before you think I forgot about Luppie-chan, he is the first blogger that came in after abandoning his own blog. He is probably the first blogger that came in and is still in here. Yes, being here but not writing that much is still being in here. I am just so lenient. His first entry, by the way, is on Full Metal Alchemist Chapter 61 way back in 2006. God, he does blog manga stuff huh.
Crusader, the gun-tottering hater of emo-fags and Gundams, entered through our first THAT recruitment drive for bloggers. He came in writing a whole thesis paper about army stuff. I never admitted to him, but I didn't understand like 80% of what he is saying. That said, I probably still don't know 60% of all his fricking references in his entries. Nonetheless, you guys love this extremely verbose and sharp writer, and he has become one of the mainstays of THAT. Funnily enough, his first entry is on Hayate no Gotoku and lacks anger (huge shock?).
Shokkeru came in alongside Crusader during the THAT recruitment drive for bloggers. I actually thought that he stopped writing for a while since he got busy, but hey he is now blogging more stuff than me. He's generally the nicest person here in THAT, though it is quite easy to be a nice person when you have emo-hating Crusader and critical perfectionist Calawain in THAT. You do not need to try that hard. Here's his first entry in THAT, on TTGL of all things.
Calawain appeared in THAT, and I must admit that I do not really remember how he entered the blog. Once he did, I knew he is going to be a gem of a writer. He probably wanted to kill me more than three times during his time here, and he took up the major task of making our season preview look good. He hates shoujo too, and I hate whatever he likes in general. Oh, I can be particularly lazy with scripting at times and he is an excellent perfectionist, so it is always good to have someone complementing me. Anyway, he started off writing about Night Wizard which is queer since he's an ecchi-loving fan.
Briar is our token bishoujo who officially sold her soul and body to real life work. I have not talked to her for a long time, but she is always funny to talk to. For your information, never call her auntie. I do that all the time, and I am on the verge of being ignored by her, if I am not already. Anyway, it's little surprise that her first post is on Kaze no Stigma, with cute men for cute romance and love.
Extrange is the second blogger that abandoned his blog for greener pastures (yes, pun completely intended). He is supposedly the resident lolicon, though Shokkeru is the unofficial tsundere lolicon that refuses to admit that he is one. I mean, it's so damn obvious. Anyway, he likes manga and forces manga down my throat whenever I am on YIM. Nonetheless, I got to read many manga because of him. Oh, he reads hentai too and asks me to read it. NO, HE WILL DENY IT LATER, BUT TRUST ME HE DOES READ PORN! Anyway, being a lolicon, he wrote his first entry on moe.
Reverse Vampire is our resident loli, who decided to apply to our blog to improve her writing and share her hatred of Kaname. She is perhaps one of the most free-willed spirits in the blog, and it's really hard to capture her attention. Maybe, it's the generation gap but I tend to have problems following her thought process. Nonetheless, she is still developing as a writer, and it's fun to have her here. Her first entry is an intense entry of hate for Vampire Knight's Kaname.
Igunis disappeared after writing 16 posts. It's a pity, because he is a really nice guy that just had a severe case of writing block cum burnout. I think he is definitely watching anime still, but it's a pity that he disappeared before he can establish himself here in THAT. His first entry is him being a bum and watching anime. Life is good.
Riex is another blogger that left the team, and still assists us in maintaining the template and bugs of the website once in a while. He confessed that it is always hard to maintain that individuality in a team blog, and having his own blog often allows him to be extravagant and write what he really wants. I do wish him well, since he always has many interesting ideas up his sleeve. It's a pity, but a man got to do what a man got to do. As queer and interesting a person he is, his first post epitomizes Riex completely.
That is it. Thank you for reading this whole wall of text and I thank you for visiting THAT for the last two years. It's always a shock how this blog grew, but it grew because of you. Thank you.

From red to white, from dry to sweet, from bold to subtle, with so many varieties of wine, there is something for everyone to love. If you want to get the most out of your wine drinking experience, there are a few simple tips to help you better understand the beauty of your wine. Enjoy the vinos in our Hickory Farms gift baskets by using these tips for drinking and sampling wine.
Refine your Palette
Wine is a lot more fun to drink when you pick out the deep complexities of flavor that come in each glass. When tasting a wine, there are four basic steps.
First, you want to look at the color of your wine. Notice how the Cabernet Sauvignon in our Hickory Farms Reserve Dry Salami and Wine Pairing is a beautiful deep ruby red, while the Chardonnay in our Toast the Traditions basket is a buttery yellow.
The next step is to smell your wine. Try to find at least two familiar scents and identify the primary and secondary notes.
Now, it is time to taste your wine. Pay attention to both the flavor and structure. Structure refers to the feel of the wine, whether it is sweet, light, or acidic.
Finally, take a moment to think about the overall experience of the wine.
Serve like an Expert
Now that you know how to best enjoy the flavor of the wine, perfect your presentation with some serving tips.
To allow your wine to breathe properly, make sure you start with the best glassware for the variety you will be serving. When serving a red wine, pour it in a decanter about a half hour before your guests arrive. You can bring out more flavor when your wine is at the proper temperature. White wines should be served cold, while red wines should be slightly cool.
In our Hickory Farms wine gift baskets, you will find a great assortment of wine combined with fantastic pairings, including cheeses and chocolates. Bring home your wine gift basket today and try out these tasting tips to host a truly elegant soiree.

HTC One Tablet: Would you buy it?
Now that the HTC One smartphone has arrived on multiple carriers and is readily available for users to check out, we're left wondering when HTC will get back into the tablet game. Last year they swore off Android tablets for the meantime, but today rumors are floating around about an HTC tablet with Windows RT. I'll pass on that, but what we'd really like to see is the HTC One Tablet.

Quebec City, January 15, 2013 Professor Federico Rosei, Director of the INRS Energy Materials Telecommunications Research Centre, will soon have access to a Dynamic Transmission Electron Microscope (DTEM). Unique in the world for its configuration, this equipment will fill a gap in dynamic materials imaging by simultaneously providing very high spatial and temporal resolution, a first that could revolutionize materials research. This project that combines the study of both the ultrasmall and ultrafast received a grant totalling nearly $12 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) Leading Edge and New Initiatives Funds and Ministre de l'Enseignement suprieur, de la Recherche, de la Science et de la Technologie (MESRST). This institutional project reunites over 160 researchers from 12 Quebec Universities, 14 additional Canadian Universities, the National Research Council and 35 additional institutions in 10 countries across four continents.
In the coming years, innovation in materials sciences will depend on researchers' ability to shed light on the intimate relationships between the nanostructures of materials and their properties. Advances in nanoscience are paving the way for new technologies, in particular in the health, energy, telecommunications, and environment sectors. This new infrastructure will combine the latest transmission electron microscope developments with the most advanced nanosecond and femtosecond laser technologies to observe the dynamic evolution of material structures. Their work will make it possible to synthesize new functional materials and improve the performance of existing materials, with potential applications for sensors, biomaterials, electronic and photonic devices, as well as water treatment and energy storage.
This new equipment will comprise three transmission electron microscopes combined into one. Its unique configuration integrates all dynamic imaging methods as well as electron spectrosco

Visit Riel House National Historic Site, the family home of Louis Riel, a 19th century champion of Métis rights and culture whose legacy lives on to this day.
Riel House offers an opportunity for visitors to discover for themselves the story of this compelling and controversial figure, central to Canadian history. Step into the living room of the family home where the famous Métis leader, Louis Riel, a founder of Manitoba, lay in state for two days in December 1885 after he was hanged for high treason. Inside this Red River frame house, restored to its 1886 appearance, you can reflect on the fascinating and complex story of Louis Riel and explore his modern legacy.
In 1886, the Riel family farm stretched from the Red River to the Seine River according to the traditional Métis river lot system. One glance at a map leaves the modern city gardener in awe. Today, the less extensive gardens are actively cultivated and illustrate for visitors which flowers and vegetables were grown in the late 19th century.
