Tarte The Jewelry Box Review, Swatches, Photos
This year's variation of Tarte's mega palette, The Jewelry Box, features a whopping 32 Full Size Eyeshadows plus other wonderful goodies. I kinda dub Tarte the founding sister of HUGE Holiday Palettes. While every other brand was doing gift sets or festive themed makeup, Tarte was busy releasing super sized palettes to sink our teeth in. Needless to say the rest of the makeup world soon caught the bug and started releasing their own versions of these monsters palettes but we should all bow our heads in respect that Tarte was the first brand to start this great Holiday tradition.
I believe their Holiday Palette is now in its fourth or fifth generation, I know I own at least three of these bad boys and I can recall a year or two I didn't indulge. Go right ahead and correct me if I'm wrong. I haven't really gotten tired of collecting them since they are 1. such a great value and 2. Tarte goes for the shock value every year and just when you think you've seen it all, they go and do something extra special which is what The Jewerly Box Palette felt like to me.
It was the same idea and design but it was a new as well with alot more packaged into one very tiny box! Who doesn't like a palette that features everything and the kitchen sink and allows it to fit into a chunky little box about the size of a music CD? That's awesomeness people.
Did you haul the Tarte Jewelry Box?
Jump ahead to hear my thoughts!
Alot of gorgeous Tarte makeup for a little price tag!
You're looking at 16 full size shimmering Tarte Eye Shadows, 16 full size matte finish Tarte Eyeshadows, 8 Lip Glosses, Mineral Powder Bronzer, Highlighting Powder, and 5 long wearing eyeliners all housed in a lame gold box with a rather cool hanging necklace as a design. Sweet eh? Lots of makeup, little price tag! $52 will bring it all home to you which works out to as little as almost $1 per item! Deal right?
This comes in a flip top, swing open design. Flip open the top to reveal a full size mirror and a several rows of sixteen shimmering eyeshadows. Swing these open to reveal a full tray of the matte shades of shadow and pull out the stealthy little drawer below to reveal lipglosses, bronzers, and a highlighter, pull out the last drawer to reveal five eyeliners. The tier design makes the palette a rather ideal pick for traveling particularly if you're heading on a cruise and want to have a ton of makeup available for various eye looks or if you want something you can easily pack in your bag for a trip abroad. I would be slightly wary of the palette breaking so a bit of bubble wrap around it prior to packing in your luggage might be a good idea but the sheer amount of product in this will insure you can have a ton of makeup in one very small place.
I've always been delighted with the Tarte Eyeshadow formula but this year for some reason the formula feels different. These new shades have a really lovely texture that's silky and blends easily with little effort particularly the mattes which I've already raved about when I did the Royal Collection Palette review. I'm not a matte girl and you've heard me rant about them many a fine time but I will say these mattes are amazing and quite usable and workable. One thing I find about Tarte eyeshadow is some shades don't play well together when blending so be careful which you chose to contrast with as some will appear a little muddy if you have a heavier hand during application. Aside from that I think the formula is fabulous for newbie makeup users since it has such a buttery soft texture that applies with ease on lids.
The glosses in the palette are incredible. Normally these larger palettes have a hard texture gloss but these are extremely pigmented with a very soft, glossy feel. I'd call them more along the lines of a lip cream rather than a simple gloss! Quite lovely.
The liners are all equally fabulous with a soft formula that glides on effortlessly sans tugging. You get a wide range of colors including traditional black and brown plus green, plum, and blue! Pretty much all the shades you'll need for pairing up with the shadows in the set.
And finally the bronzer and highlighter are bother generous sizes.
The necklace that attached on the front of the palette can be unhooked and worn around your neck. At first glance I thought it wasn't really my style but it's actually quite a nice tier style necklace that looks lovely with a simple blouse or shirt! It's a nice little extra that keeps with this year's "jewelry" theme.
Sadly, I don't think I'll make much use of the bronzer or the highlighter powder. I wish they included the cheek stains like years past as this contains no blushes which I thought was sad. I also dislike the larger powders being so close to the gloss, major mess waiting to happen if I'm not careful!
- Those starting out in the makeup world who want a good selection of high quality makeup for creating a ton of looks!
- Anyone who loves Tarte!
- Anyone who wants a green friendly makeup formula sans parabens and other synthetic and harmful ingredients!
- Those who want a gorgeous pressie for friends or family!
- Anyone who wants more for less (this ranges out to a buck or so per product and all are either full size or generous size products!).
- Anyone who doesn't who isn't keen on powder and gloss formulas being housed in the same palette.
- Anyone who wants alot of pop a la MAC eyeshadow (you're getting a range of gorgeous shades but they are not incredibly BOLD or vibrant shades).
- Anyone wanting a cheek, lip, and eye palette (this lacks a little in the cheek department).
I thought it was a fabulous deal and felt like the palette offered alot housed in a very small amount of space that was still very workable and user friendly. The entire palette just screams at beauty junkies to buy it and it creates some very nice looks and easy ones as well since I felt it was ideal for both advanced and new users alike. If you're still seeking a last minute gift definitely head to Sephora for a pick at this, your friends or family will adore this if they love makeup!
Here are a few looks created with the palette! I just added my own blush and mascara but the eyeshadow, liner, and lipgloss is all from the palette!
The Tarte Jewelry Box is a Muse Approved item for purchase for a variety of reasons but most important the sheer value!

not sure about this, but the necklace is fabulous! Are you wearing the bella powder from the other day? Looks great on you, I just got mine yesterday. I LOVE it! Sorry, totally talking about another product!
12/23/10 16:37 Nathalie:
I was sooo excited when it got great reviews from other bloggers that I went out and bought it the same day. But honestly, I was a little disappointment in the pigment of the shadows. I think I've just been spoiled by MAC and UD. It's a nice palette, don't get me wrong…but it needs a little more power.
12/23/10 16:52 Stephanie L.:
I got this for my mother-in-law; I hope she likes it!
12/23/10 17:02 Aimee Pan:
I purchased this already and it's just so fun and fantastic! I can't stop using it. I got both this and the Smashbox Eye Wish palette and I can never decide which one to use, every morning. Ahhh!
12/23/10 17:48 Rachel:
I bought it! Though sadly I think it's gonna wait for some depotting and z-palettes before I get a chance to really play, part of me just doesn't want to get attached to a color or look that I can't travel with.
12/23/10 20:19 Heather:
Have you seen that Urban Decay has mood changing lipsticks?! I am totally curious as to see what these look like. Totally off the subject!
12/23/10 20:28 Shannon:
i bought this and actually returned it due to the ridiculously unwieldy nature of the box. everything seems oddly fragile, and i kept expecting either my finger to go in something (as I try to keep it open to get to the items), or I break something (as i try to access the pencil drawer), or just some other small issues here and there that ended up being the straw the broke the camel's back.
i also thought most of the shades are rather oddly chosen. i usually have no issues with picking out a shade or two that would work well together, but when iopened this, i completely drew a blank, and could find nothign that worked well together. :\ the one thing i loved were the pencils, but they were housed in a very crappy fashion. and just liking the pencil and a handful of the shadows didn't really justify not only the moeny i spent, but also the space it takes up! lol so yeah…back it went.
i ended up purchasing the day to night palette tho, after completely falling in love with it at sephora while swatching. i thought that one was a lot better coordinated with better formulation as well.
anywayz, good review 😀
12/23/10 20:49 cyra:
three words: I WANT THIS!
12/23/10 22:29 xxreemey:
I really like both of the looks you did with this palette; they are both pretty, and they don't look too hard, which is great because I just started getting into makeup!
12/23/10 23:09 Kat:
Oooooh, me likey! Now I'm torn between this and the Smashbox Master Class! (unless Santa has a few gift cards for my stocking)
Which do you think is better?
Have a great holiday!
12/24/10 1:23 lissa:
I love this and wish I didn't already have too much makeup to justify it. Love the looks, what shadows did you use in the first one? love it.
12/24/10 3:15 Risu:
I think this is fantastic for the amount of product you get and what you paid for.
Having 32 different colored eyeshadows means it's enough for pretty much any look. I think the colors are pretty good (pigmented and velvety) but they're not THE best. There are a couple colors that swatched uneven for me.
I really like the texture of the lip glosses; my only regret is that you can't bring them out for touch ups and the powder from highlight/ bronzer can get in if you're not careful.
Anyways I do love love love this palette, it's definitely the highlight of my x'mas hauls! =)
12/24/10 5:16 sanja skobalj:
i didnt think the lip products would have so much pigment,it looks pretty and the necklace is fab just to bad there isnt any blush.
12/25/10 3:26 thatgal:
It's such a nice color matching! All colors are sophisticated and intelligent. Never used anything from Tarte (the brand I learned about from your blog, lovely Muse;)). I wish I did but I live in Kazakhstan, where it's not sold.
12/25/10 20:37 Soo:
the gold shadow looks great on you! it really brings out your eyes
12/25/10 23:02 Jen:
I have to agree, it is quite a nice necklace…. usually I keep things very simple when it comes to accessories, but this one I can see myself wearing with a nice white blouse.
12/27/10 3:50 Johanna:
I debated between Tarte's Jewelry Box and Lorac's Box Office, and Box Office won. I love the smoothness of Lorac's shadows. I actually liked the texture of their lipsticks, but none of the colors were flattering on me — too light and bright, even when I tried to mix them. I LOVE the blushes and the bronzer, however. I'm pleased overall.
1/28/11 18:17 Rabia:
Do you have the names of the lipgloss swatches. I love love love the first pink one.
3/23/12 6:53 caroline:
this palette is super cute, especially for the bonus necklace. gosh, badly want it!
here's the case : since both of this palette (jewelry box) and the royal collection are on sale, i wonder which one would value more? in your version?
i've been staring at the swatches for each palette since this morning, mouth-watery.
which one should i pick? please gimme a suggestion! i'd be very grateful if you help me. thanks 😉

According to sources at notebook manufacturers, the new consumer ultra low voltage platform (CULV) should be hitting shelves in the second quarter of 2009 and is intended for systems priced between $699 and $899. Interestingly enough, it is being rumored that a 13.3-inch HP Mini note will arrive in June based on the CULV platform instead of the Atom Zxx due to "Intel's insistence." DigiTimes also claims that at least the "top three" notebook makers are planning to deliver their own CULV powered systems, which implies Dell and Acer could also be involved.
With this, Intel hopes to divide the laptop market up into four clearly identifiable segments for 2009, which include Atom (and later on Pineview) based netbooks, traditional 12.1 inch and above notebooks, Menlow-powered MIDs, and ultra portable notebooks based on CULV with sizes varying between 11.1 and 13.3 inches.

Review: Does the title track pass the tool house test? Dense, tribal beats? Check. Surging, rippling bassline? Check. Splintered vocal sample? Check. While "Nails" has all of these elements, it also contains moody, menacing chords and an acidic bassline that speeds up to a dizzying pace before breaking down. Raffaele Rizzi's remix also defies expectations: building from a stripped back base, his tracky arrangement includes a pumping bass and ominous, filtered chords that hang in the air before imploding. "Dance Everybody" sees Ahautzab depart further from the script, as a squelchy liquid bass and soulful vocals intone the title to ensure a deeper but tripped out sound. David Glass's spiky, staccato drum-led take on "Everybody" completes this exemplary package

Squadron (WRS), 403rd Wing, Keesler Air Force Base will educate residents of vulnerable communities about hurricane preparedness. Tours of the Air Force Reserve Command's WC-130J "Hurricane Hunter" will offer an
opportunity to learn how scientists collect hurricane information.
"We are in an active hurricane era. While 2011 was not as catastrophic as recent seasons, the Caribbean and Latin America still experienced tragic loss of life from flooding caused by hurricanes," said Read. "This tour is an
opportunity for us to educate coastal communities about what they need to do to prepare for a hurricane.Preparation will reduce the human and economic toll."
Utilizing 10 state-of-the-art WC-130J aircraft, military air crews fly directly into the core of tropical cyclones to gather critical weather data. The data are sent in real time via satellite from the aircraft directly to the National Hurricane Center for analysis and use by hurricane
"2012 will mark the 68th year the Air Force Reserve Command has been supporting the National Hurricane Center and the United States Hurricane Warning Program," said Lt. Col. Sean Pierce, 53rd WRS director
of operations.
During the 2011 hurricane season, the 53rd WRS flew 88 missions and 13 investigative flights over the Atlantic for the National Hurricane Center. It also flew four missions over the eastern North Pacific.
Locations and times for public tours are listed below (all times are local):
March 12, 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. – Campeche Intl. Airport, Campeche, Mexico
March 13, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. – Chetumal Intl. Airport, Chetumal, Mexico
March 14, noon to 3 p.m. – Limon Intl. Airport, Limon, Costa Rica

(Theo is the canine companion of Silke, who is a minister.)
Dear Bos,
have to admit that I am occasionally surprised by the lady I take care
of - once in a while, she will look at the big square of
paper on the cold food storage locker - you know the one I mean - the
one covered by little squares and numbers and scribbles of what she was
supposed to do but forgot. She looks at it and then looks at me and
shakes her head and says something about big numbers - she says I will
be 86 years old this week - whatever THAT means! She also says something
about me being little HA! When I get up on my hind legs and look one of
those bruisers in the eye: guess who backs down first? Age? Size? don't mean a thing to us 4-legged creatures, do they!
know, I overheard one of those humans in the big hall next to my home
saying something about not being able to teach an old dog new tricks -
(??) As IF! I gave my lady such a surprise a few sleeps ago.
took me along with her to this big house with lots of rooms because we
were stopping off "to do a service" on our way to visit my girl a bunch
of rumbles further down the road. It
was cool. She took me around the room and I got to meet a whole bunch
of people who never got out of their chairs. They came in on wheels and
made lots of happy noises when I said hello to them.
told me to get up on the chair while she was "doing the service." It
was interesting because I had never watched her "do" a service before. I
just put my chin on my paws and watched and then I got to come down off
the chair and say goodbye to all these nice people with the funny
smells. I don't think they paid nearly as much attention to her as they did to me.
of them smelled really wrong and I kept going back to her - I knew she
was really really sad because she was going to be leaving this world
very soon. I kept going back and rubbing my head against her knees.
She did leave before I got back from my holidays. I hope she stopped being sad before she went. I know she was going to a very good place.
and I are going to that good place too - I know you're going to get
there before I do, so can you save me a couple of those biscuits please.
forward to seeing you here first though - my lady keeps telling me
you're s'posed to come for a visit to my new home. Tell your lady to
hurry up, would you?

This park is great for access to to Wineries, Wineries and more wineries. There are nice restaurants near by, too. Make sure you have Dish if you park in the back row. Direct TV won't work. If you have a Marine toilet be prepared to use your own water pump as the parks water pressure is low. Call early because the 50 amp sites with shade go fast. - TWI

Beautiful small campground in a lush forest. There are several beautiful trails in the park's redwood forest. The nearby Bale Grist Mill State Historic Park is very interesting too with guided tours during weekends. A great place to camp and enjoy wine country. Restrooms and showers are basic but there's plenty of hot water. Gravel sites require leveling. - Rahm
Apr 2011 - $35.00
Enjoyed our stay here. The spaces along the creek are very nice. However, the prohibition of taking dogs on the trails made the stay less than I wanted. The price is also high for a site with no utilities. The park is beautiful and the sites far enough from each other that there is a feeling of privacy. There is an abundance (all around the camps) of ticks and poison oak. - MysticRaven

As others have said, this place is all about location. It's a big parking lot with sites really close together. But it's in the perfect location to explore Napa/Sonoma wine country, and, as near as I could determine, it's the only game in town except a couple state parks that you have to reserve way in advance to be sure you can get in. We did reserve here, but only a few days ahead of time, and there were plenty of E&W sites available. The FHU sites seemed to be mostly filled with longer term campers. The restroom and showers were clean and the showers were spacious with plenty of hot water and pressure. There was also a chair of some sort in both of the ladies' showers and hooks and shelves in the shower itself for your products which is something I find sorely lacking in many RV park shower rooms. The prices vary from a low for the E & W sites during the week to a high for the FHU sites on weekends. I thought they were reasonable (for California!). he one thing I would caution about is that it is part of the Napa County Fairgrounds. If it's a race weekend at the speedway or County Fair weekend or some other event, all bets are probably off so you might want to check the event schedule ahead of time and make reservations in advance. We really appreciated that it's only about eight blocks to the center of Calistoga with a bunch of shops and restaurants so we could walk there for dinner and not have to move our truck camper rig. - Pdxjoanne
Apr 2015 - $25.00
Rate reflects Passport America for 4 days. Nice quiet park in a beautiful area. The bathrooms have been renovated since we were last there and then are now doing some landscaping in the "premium" sites. Poor water pressure is the norm in all of the sites that we have used. Within walking distance to the downtown area. - StarlifterFE
Mar 2015 - $18.00
A very basic RV park in heart of wine country. Walking distance to a beautiful downtown and next door to golf. Gravel sites and no real landscaping. Very quiet. - sinnibar

People bring meaning to life, this I am sure of. I love science. I hate technology. But I love it sometimes. I have this thing for airplanes. Flying them, working on them, dreaming of them, staring at them, etc... Actually, all things that fly. It turns me into an 8 year old boy in an instant. I also have a bit of a thing for cars and music, especially the combination of the two. I drive with no destination quite frequently, preferably with the top down. Sometimes I'm sure I'll find a new world and never return. And tennis! I was quite obsessed at a time, now a bit deprived. Though I live quite far from my family, I want to be there for them. For my mom, my brother.
Ultimately, I think the most significant memories in life are associated with other people. Shared experiences, shared fears, shared passions and interests. Foods and drinks and places and things. Amazing conversations. I can't think of very many things that are better than a great conversation. With a special person. Evidence that we're not alone in this weird life thing?
I have too many interests, too many non-specific goals, and possibly little direction, but it seems I keep moving forward...???

Christ As The Feminine~ February 9th.
Meister Eckhart On The Feminine Dynamics Of Christian Spirituality…
"It is good for a person
to receive God into himself or herself
and I call this receptivity the work of a virgin.
But it is better
when God becomes fruitful within a person.
For becoming fruitful as a result of a gift
is the only gratitude for the gift.
I call such a person a wife
and in this sense the term wife is the noblest term
we can give the soul,
it is far nobler than virgin.
Each day
such a person
bears fruit a hundred times
or a thousand times
or countless times,
giving birth and becoming frutiful
out of the most noble foundation of all."
~from Meditations With Meister Eckhart by Matthew Fox
Fr. Thomas Keating explain how this feminine principle of receptivity or openness to God makes us equal to God…

4 Responses to "Christ As The Feminine~ February 9th."
i'd typically say that, "in Christ, there is no east nor west, male nor female, Hebrew nor Greek, slave nor free, etc." … but, this suits me just fine. Moreover, to stir the pot just a tad more, i'd say that doing yoga — which allows me to practice balancing my masculine and feminine energies — helps me sense my union with the Divine… by whatever name we call Her. : )
meh. Still reeks of Judeo-Christian duality.
What does that mean, Diane? Is that a bad thing? Is not all of creation duality? Here and there? Then and now? Black and white? Light and dark? Spirit and body? I get confused when people speak about duality as though it is not actual.
i'm with Taming on this one. Granted, the Gnostics went over-board with their over emphasis upon rigid dualisms, but gnosticism was ruled a heresy. It isn't Christian. That said, there are some rather obvious dualities the exist. Heck, yoga often focuses upon helping people balance their feminine and masculine energies. Buddhists have a dualism in non-attachment and attachment. and so on…

Raman, X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry studies of the melt-induced changes in uncompatibilized and compatibilized blends of high-density polyethylene and nylon 12.
In: Macromolecular Symposia, Jg. 184 (2002) ; 14th European Symposium on Polymer Spectroscopy, 2001, S. 339-348
Zeitschriftenaufsatz / Fach: Chemie
The crystallinity of non-molten and pre-molten uncompatibilized and compatibilized polymer blends of high d. polyethylene (HDPE)/Nylon 12 have been investigated by using FT-Raman spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The FT-Raman, DSC, and WAXD measurements have revealed that the crystallinity of HDPE of both uncompatibilized and compatibilized blends increases upon melting except for the compatibilized blend with the Nylon 12 content of 80 wt%. The degree of the increase is significantly larger for the uncompatibilized blends than the compatibilized blends. The FT-Raman data suggests that the crystallinity of the compatibilized blend with the Nylon 12 content of 80 wt% decreases slightly after melting. It is very likely that the compatibilized polymer blends are well oriented during the melting and molding process by an extruder because of the existence of maleic anhydride (MAH)-grafted copolymer as a compatibilizer. In contrast, it seems that the uncompatibilized polymer blends are not so much oriented and have more amorphous phase in the Nylon 12 rich region before melting. Thus, the melting process induces a recrystn. process.

Bob's 24 hour-ish stomach flu last week is lingering… in his mind. The stomach ache, vomiting, headache, and fever are long gone but their shadows remain in the form of whining, false complaints that just keep on coming.
When bed time is especially unpopular he will say, "But I have a fever! I think I need medicine."
When he would like just one more episode of Olivia, he will add, "Because I have a stomach ache. The Olivia show will help me."
My favorite is, "I might do barfing. I need more Halloween candy to help me." He might then throw in some fake "ah choo" sneezes to further illustrate his point.
I alerted one of Bob's teachers to his litany of faux ailments. I would not want the pre-school staff to be alarmed if Bob suddenly had a convenient instant on-set headache if the goldfish crackers weren't meeting his snack time standards. (Although his shrill whine has been known to give me very real instant on-set headaches.) We have learned that if the symptom is "pretend" he will drop it quickly and try another tactic.
In these instances, with my gentle coaching, I have taught him to say, "I am suf-fer-ing from my hy-po-chondria."
What? It makes me laugh and I am all about survival right now.
4 comments:
Do you think if I tell my boss I might do barfing, he'll bring me halloween candy and send me home to watch Olivia? I am going to cross my fingers and try it today. Please thank Bob for the half day.ReplyDelete
I need to teach that line to my almost-7-yo, who is a bit of a hypochondriac. She always has stomach aches and the like, which makes it hard to diagnose when she's actually sick. Like the night she told me her stomach hurt and I sent her off to bed with an extra hug and kiss. She later threw up all over her bed. Le sigh.ReplyDelete
LOL! You are too funny. I'd probably do the same, and my husband would roll his eyes :)ReplyDelete
I love that Halloween candy has healing qualities. I may have to agree with that one!
Funny. This entry sounds like so many adults I know...ReplyDelete

Speed Dating' at Cardiff High School
To mark St Dwynwen's Day (patron saint of Welsh lovers) on 25 January the School of Welsh was invited to take part in a 'Speed Dating' event held by Cardiff High School. Individuals from various companies and organisations gathered together to address Year 11 pupils about the importance of the Welsh language in their work and their social lives, giving them the opportunity to receive information at first hand before choosing their A Level subjects.
Lois Barrar, our publicity officer and Hanna Hopwood, a postgraduate student went on behalf of the School of Welsh, and talked to over 100 pupils.
The day was a great success with a number of students expressing an interest in the language and considering following Welsh as an A Level subject.

Camel Treks in Erg Chebbi
Overnight camel trek with desert guide
Erg Chebbi Camel Treks with a desert guide, to sleep under the stars in a deep desert camp. If you have a rental car we can meet you in Rissani and accompany you to the dunes. Or, if not, join one of our Morocco Desert Tours from Marrakech, Fes or elsewhere.

Private Desert Tours and Erg Chebbi Camel Treks – deep camp or luxury camp options
A Sahara Tour to the Erg Chebbi sand sea usually includes camel trekking to a deep desert camp although it is possible to enjoy the dunes without riding a camel. The sand dunes, close to the Berber village of Merzouga and Desert town of Rissani, are probably the highest dunes in Morocco – they are particularly spectacular at sunrise and sunset when they take on a red hue. Along the dune line are hotels offering ensuite rooms and swimming pools for your comfort.

The Erg Chebbi Dunes (Merzouga)
Of all the deserts in Morocco, the Erg Chebbi close to the Berber village of Merzouga, is probably the highest and most easily accessible because a paved road runs from Rissani to Merzouga and beyond. Although the sand sea looks quite small and distinct on the map, it is worth noting that this is relative to the enormity of the Sahara desert. The Sahara is the only true desert to be found along the 0° meridian line and also happens to be world's largest. It covers most of North Africa, more than a third of the continent, and an area roughly the same size as the United States of America. It is a desert of extraordinary beauty and variety; all the standard desert landscape types are present from great fields of shifting sand dunes to vast plains filled with rocks.
The Erg Chebbi can be reached in a rental car or with public transport due to the paved road that runs to Mergouga and beyond. To reach the dune line, from the paved road, is a small section of unpaved road (piste) that should be driven across with care due to ruts and sand drifts.
If you have limited time, and prefer not to drive in Morocco, hiring a vehicle with driver is a relaxed way to travel. Local drivers know the routes and, if you have the time, it is possible to 'get off the beaten track' to experience the hospitality and traditional lifestyle of the Berbers.
The Desert Village of Merzouga
Merzouga is a sizeable, and growing, desert village with a palmerie and gardens where crops are grown e.g. dates, cereals, mint and alfalfa. In the region are two seasonal lakes, a favourite spot for migrating birds in Spring, when Dayet Srji flamingos may be seen.
For most of the year it is a sleepy place where young men make a living by guiding tourists to local hotels or selling fossils that are locally mined and polished. However there is another side to this village when, in summer months, it fills with Moroccans who come here to bury themselves in the sand. Sand bathing is a traditional treatment for rheumatism and arthritis and, along with the sand bathers, come the street traders and Merzouga transforms into a bustling desert experience.
What to do and What to see in Erg Chebbi
- Search for a fossil in the fossil beds near Erfoud
- Listen to Gnawa musicians and whirl to the rhythms of the desert
- Visit Merzouga to watch the world pass by as you sip mint tea
- Visit the Souk in Rissani and the Apothecary for spices and saffron
- Camel trekking in Erg Chebbi
- Walk through palm grove gardens where crops are grown
- Visit the seasonal lakes in spring if the rains arrive and perhaps see flamingos
- 4×4 desert safari to explore the Erg Chebbi environment
Sand Boards and Dune Buggies/Quad Bikes
Sand Boards are available for local hire. However no instruction is given and no safety clothing is provided. It is a dangerous sport and you are advised to consider the risks of hiring boards without a helmet.
Dune buggies are available for local hire and you will be accompanied by a desert guide to ensure you do not get lost. Please consider other people who may be visiting the desert for peace and tranquility.
Overnight Erg Chebbi Camel Treks – What to Expect
Meet your desert guide and camel trek in the late afternoon, before and/or during sunset, to a deep desert camp – travel light and only take essentials in a soft bag that the camel carries. Mounting a camel is unusual because camel legs have double joints so initially you are thrown forward (there is a bar to hold) and then backwards as the camel stands up.
On arrival at the nomad-tended desert camp, where the tents are traditionally made of thick goat/sheep/camel hair, the camels are hobbled, mint tea is served and dinner is freshly prepared and served under the stars. While waiting there is time to relax.
Wake early to climb a high dune and, in the pre-dawn stillness, wait for the sunrise. Return camel trek back across the dunes to shower and breakfast before departure.
Longer Erg Chebbi camel treks are available for 2nights or longer.
Erg Chebbi Luxury Desert Camp
Our luxury desert camp consists of five ensuite bedroom tents and one dining tent. The bedroom tents are raised off the sand, for your comfort, with wood flooring. Each tent contains a hotel quality bed, mirror, rugs and seating. The attached bathroom tents contain a hand-wash basin, shower and flushing toilet. Bedding and towels are provided. Although there is a dining tent, we eat outside under the stars whenever possible and only use the dining tent when it is cold or windy. Water and wine is served with dinner, at no extra charge, and the camp staff will drum and sing for you afterwards. Your driver will drop you off at the camp, with a section of off-road driving across the sand, or ride camels to the camp. In the morning your driver will pick you up.

Sahara Excursions and Erg Chebbi Camel Treks
Organised Sahara Desert Excursions run from Marrakech, Marrakech to Fes, Fes to Fes and Fes to Marrakech. Tours can start and end elsewhere on request i.e. Casablanca, Tangier, Agadir.

text: Q&A: Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey on his new project, Square Business 01 June 11 by Jason Tanz Hellovon So there are a million parties and a million fees?Yeah. We thought we could do it a lot better. We wanted to make it so anyone come go through that whole process in one download. You put in your name and address, we ship you a reader, and you're done. For free. All you pay is 2.75 per cent per swipe. That usually covers the interchange and leaves a small amount for us.Why can't you do all this through PayPal?Because not everyone has a PayPal account. People understand credit cards. But Square is payment-device agnostic. It doesn't matter how you pay. Some of our users accept only cash. When someone orders a cappuccino, the customer hands over their cash, Square calculates the change and the merchant has a record of every purchase.How do you get customers to trust Square merchants?Every Square vendor is identity-checked. You download the application and put in your name and address. We ask you three background questions to confirm your identity. Every transaction goes to the bank that issues the card, and it's watched by Visa or MasterCard or AmEx.So if I give my credit card to someone with a Square reader, I won't get dinged with a bunch of fake charges?If you use a credit card, the bank issuing the card handles a lot of that risk. Our risk is when we can't prove the card was there -- like a phone order. The worry isn't someone coming in and stealing $1 million, but a million people each taking $1.How are you dealing with it?We have a team who work on risk. If a merchant records an unusual number of charges, we'll contact them. It's like when I go to France and make a purchase. Without fail, I get a call from AmEx asking if I'm actually in France. You're also using social-networking data to verify what is and isn't a legitimate business. Yeah, if users want to accelerate our review process, they give us extra information that helps us further validate their identity: the name of their business so we can check on Yelp, Twitter or Facebook. Twitter became a mass-communications network. Do you see similar potential for Square? Companies use things such as Google Analytics to learn how peopleare interacting, what they're driven to and why. People use that data to build their businesses. But offline merchants, who account for 94 percent of world commerce, have no way to capture that data. Square can tell merchants how many cappuccinos they sold that day -- critical data most small businesses just don't have.What effect do you think Square can have on the broader credit-card system? We're adding more information to every transac tion, so everyone can have more confidence and lower the risk of fraud or nonpayment. So fees could come down as card companies take on less risk. Lower merchants' costs means they can charge customers less. When will Square have broken through? We look at volume going through the system, active users, sign-ups, risk. Some combination of those implies concrete success. I'm not sure what that combination is now, but, you know, we're only two years old.

National Geographic Adventure magazine has named Plymouth one of the 50 next great adventure towns in the United States.
"Life in Plymouth is like a master class in recreation," writes National Geographic Adventure journalist Sarah Tuff. "Wedged between Mount Washington Valley and the Granite State's glittering Lakes Region, this college-meets-covered-bridge depot is home to the new White Mountain Exploration center, with instruction in ski touring, ice climbing, mountain biking, and rock climbing all run by Eastern Mountain Sports."
Tuff goes on to write, "When classes aren't in session, recess means kayaking the Pemigewasset River and exploring the 798,562-acre White Mountain National Forest."
"Plymouth stood out because of its stunning location in New Hampshire," says Tuff of Plymouth's inclusion on the list. "We sought towns that not only have premier access to outdoor recreation and resources, but also forward momentum. New initiatives such as bike paths, outdoor centers, eco-friendly measures, and more all played a role in helping us determine the 50 best places to live and play for National Geographic Adventure readers."

Amazon to increase workforce with 5,000 new jobs
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Amazon, a technology company known for its shopping search engine, is becoming an even greater engine for jobs.
Amazon will announce plans Monday to add 5,000 full-time employees to its growing workforce. These workers will pack and ship orders from Amazon's 13 domestic distribution centers, including one in Phoenix.
The full-time warehouse jobs come with health and retirement benefits.
The 5 thousand new jobs equal a 25 percent increase to Amazon's warehouse workforce.
Amazon is also looking to fill 2,000 customer service jobs and work from home positions, some of which are available here in Arizona.
Attempts to keep up with growing consumer demands have been costly to Amazon in the short term. Revenue went up in the second quarter, but the tech giant reported it still lost money.
This latest tech company to tout job growth at home is earning the president's praise. President Obama will speak about creating middle-class jobs Tuesday at Amazon's fulfillment center in Chattanooga, Tenn.

AMERICUS -- The South Georgia Technical College Lady Jets are now ranked as the top defensive team in the nation and they have moved up two spots to No. 9 in the National Junior College Athletic Association's 2010-2011 poll following their recent 79-58 wins against East Georgia College.
The Lady Jets were ranked 11th overall and second in the team defensive average category last week but a win this week against the top-ranked Georgia College Athletic Association's East Georgia College team propelled them two spots higher in the overall poll and into the top spot in the nation defensively. The Lady Jets are still undefeated at 11-0 on the season after Wednesday's 81-57 romp of Enterprise (Ala.) State.
Before their last two wins, the Lady Jets had only given up 394 points against their opponents this season for a 43.778 average over the last nine games. Middle Georgia College, which is also in the GCAA, is ranked seventh in defense and East Georgia College, another GCAA opponent, is ranked 21st.
Pensacola State College retained their first place position in the overall NJCAA poll this week and they were followed by Trinity Valley Community College, North Idaho College, Gulf Coast Community College, Jefferson College, Central Arizona College, Midland College, Cleveland State Community College, South Georgia Tech and Copiah-Lincoln Community College rounded out the Top 10.
South Georgia Tech is still the only Georgia junior college team in the NJCAA Division I Women's Basketball Top 25 poll this week. However, Middle Georgia College from Cochran did receive several votes. It is currently 6 -2.
SGTC's Ophelia McMath, a 5-foot-10 sophomore guard/forward from Apopka, Fla, is ranked 25th in the nation in individual scoring. McMath has played in eight games and has scored a total of 156 points for a 19.5 per game scoring average.
McMath is also ranked 17th in rebounding in the nation. She has a total of 86 rebounds, 40 offensive and 46 defensive rebounds, for a 10.75 average per game.
SGTC's Shontae McCall, 6'0 forward from Lynn Haven, Fla., is ranked 23rd in the nation in rebounding with a total of 82 rebounds in eight games for an average of 10.25 per contest.
South Georgia Tech is also ranked in the team free throw percentage poll with a team average of 68 percent. They are ranked 18th in that category, which is up two spots from last week.
The Lady Jets have made 133 of 195 free throws in the past nine games.

Menswear Monday: Grandma sweaters and Matador style at Milan Fashion Week
Italy is known for being a mecca of stylish people...but sometimes the avant-guard style of the runways is a little over-the-top for those of us who wear off-the-rack denims and rain shells most days.
These looks, from Gucci and Erto, borrow inspiration from Spanish bullfighters and, it appears, nanas from rural Italy. The shows are part of Milan Fashion Week.

Game Review: Gripshift
Read more on Gripshift at IGN.com
In 2006, Sidhe Interactive introduced one of the most unique driving titles ever seen on a console with their portable racer Gripshift. The title combined racing, platforming, car combat elements, puzzles, and wildly exaggerated tracks to make one of the strangest car games around. It also managed to have some of the oddest tracks, which challenged even the best drivers with its wacky grasp of physics. But just how does the game translate over to the PS3?
For fans of the original game, you'll take solace in knowing that the initial formula remains essentially intact without any massive differences. Players still choose from one of four initial drivers (which doesn't impact gameplay at all) and four initial cars, each with their own speed, acceleration and handling stats. Even though the game boasts about having tighter vehicle handling, all the cars will peel, slide and bounce around the tracks exactly the same way, regardless of their stats.
Some stats that were in the PSP version of the game have even been removed from the PS3 version because they didn't have an impact on the game itself. While that's a definite problem when it comes to distinguishing between the vehicle's performance, there's a bonus: Players will be able to use the lack of weight or mass to their vehicles to maneuver their cars around the wildly designed courses, defying the laws of gravity and physics to cross the finish line. Thanks to the analog sticks of the SIXAXIS, it's definitely much easier to control these cars than it was on the PSP.
crazy tracks and race coursesIt's actually an understatement to say "wild" as a description of the various courses within Gripshift; it would be more accurate to call it an Evel Knievel nightmare. There are now more than 125 various tracks in the single player challenge mode of Gripshift, scattered across four "worlds," and each one is suspended in mid-air with hazards like rocks, air vents, massive loops, drawbridges, and moving platforms to deal with. Players are given one of three goals to complete on these levels before time runs out, like completing the course as fast as possible, gathering all of the stars on a stage or collecting Gripshift icons.
Successfully crossing the finishing line with one or more of these goals completed earns credits that are redeemed automatically at set intervals for a number of unlockable items, such as skins and decals for cars, music, vehicles, racers and even mini games. More often than not, completing all of the goals on a specific level will require multiple playthroughs, especially as you get to the higher levels of difficulty and the puzzle elements start increasing.

'SNL' Releases Unaired Justin Bieber Sketch: 'Greatest Trainwreck Ever'
by Tracy Phillips | June 25, 2013 at 9:04 AM | Saturday Night Live, TV News
When Justin Bieber hosted "Saturday Night Live" earlier this year, there was one sketch featuring Bieber and Bill Hader that was cut from the show after it bombed in a disastrous dress rehearsal.
Not only did it not get a single laugh from the audience, which was filled with all Justin Bieber fans, aka prepubescent girls, but at one point, a wall almost fell on Justin Bieber's head.
Watch Bill and the Biebs Bomb in the Clip Above.
Now, "SNL" has released the unaired sketch accompanied by commentary from Hader and "SNL" writers Rob Klein and John Solomon on what went so very wrong with "Song for Daddy."
"Greatest trainwreck ever," Hader sums up. He added that, at least during his time on the show, never before has a part of the stage nearly collapsed on a host!
Watch the beginning of the clip to see just how badly the sketch is bombing, then fast forward to about the 7:05 mark for Hader's commentary, describing the disaster as they watch .

- "A lot of the networks that have deployed LTE haven't scaled completely yet — they're hybrid networks.. which means the devices needed both radios built into them. When we did the Galaxy Nexus with LTE we had to do just that, and it just wasn't a great user experience".
and more on that Rubbin said:
- "Tactically, we want to make sure the devices are available for every network on the planet."
The unlocked Nexus 4 will cost $299 (8GB) at Google's Play store.
