NAFCU's call for national data security standards spreads
Jan. 27, 2014 – NAFCU's message urging Congress to establish national data security standards continues to resonate in news reports nationwide in the wake of the recent Target data breach and others.
in Computerworld on Thursday said NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger "chided retailers for downplaying their role in safeguarding sensitive customer data," in his
published in
American Banker
. It repeated Berger's statement that financial institutions have been subject to data security rules under the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act for years, "and now it's time to implement similar rules for retailers."
POLITICO's Morning Money
on Thursday also highlighted NAFCU's ongoing push for data security standards. That report drew on Berger's letter to House and Senate leaders Wednesday calling for national security standards for all parties.
NAFCU has updated its resources page on
data security
to include the association's latest letters, media reports and video from Berger's Jan. 17
on Fox Business.

The post-industrial dystopia emerging on the streets of Detroit may be shocking, but it is not surprising. The crisis results from the convergent forces of fiscal austerity and structural racism in a region defined by its extreme segregation of race, wealth and opportunity.
On the brink of a new, post-bankruptcy beginning, Detroit is really two cities. One is comprised of wealthy enclaves linked to a compact, rapidly redeveloping downtown. The other is made up of the rest of the 139-square-mile urban expanse, populated by longtime residents who have fought for decades to survive in an environment that has become increasingly uninhabitable.
Detroit has been at the heart of America since its founding in 1701. Over the years, Detroit has always been the center of America. Located geographically to connect America with Canada via the natural water systems, it is the way in to America's heart.
Even as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame makes its home in the city of Cleveland, the measure before the board may literally cut the musical heart out of Ohio's public schools.
The bizarre tale of Democratic self-immolation knows no precedent in American political history. The explanation, though, is readily apparent for those willing to look at the record. The formula did not require anything as exotic as hemlock; rather the more prosaic ingredients were imbibed gradually.

When was the last time you had a landlord you truly loved? If you're like most people, the answer is never. But here's the dirty little secret for anyone who's ever had a big list of complaints about their landlord: Your landlord probably had an equally long list of complaints about you.
In total, he looked up all of two times throughout his set, and the shame that seemed to hold his eyes to the floor was both unsettling and captivating.
Detroit is admittedly a tough place. Those who choose to be here grasp life at its deepest level. And the energy Detroit has isn't something you can pinpoint. If you go around looking for it, you won't find it because you can't really see it.
Lousy. Pathetic. Boring. Typical. These are adjectives that can be used to describe the Detroit Lions in recent years. Balanced. Efficient. Defensive-minded. Composed. These are adjectives that can be used to describe this year's 5-2 Lions squad.
Detroit's history and is rich and complex. Learn it. Understand it. Embed it in the way you conceptualize change in the city and how to join in the struggle.
But what if there's also a cost to living in our own bubble? What if this disconnection also sows the seeds for violence and prejudice in our cities and communities? If you don't know the people around you, is it easier to misunderstand, hurt and be hurt, fight and fear one another?

Most Nintendo fans would say XCX
The problem from the getgo with this game is that they did not market it as Platinum's Star Fox, and that Myiamoto seemingly did not give them leave to go all out.
How do you get Platinum to work on a Star Fox game, and end up with Zero?
It should be as intense. Not a snooze fest.
There was a time where this would excite me. That was 15-years-ago.
I'm tired of seeing this Will Wheaton fellow.
That's Super Mario Hell. No thank you.
Very nice, person who made it should be proud.....but it's lacking Nintendo.
I like the idea.
I didn't like Uprising. It's characters and dialogue were fun in a saturday-morning-cartoon sort of way, but other than that it was forgettable.
Like it or not, Nintendo's image has suffered over the years by having less mature titles on its systems, a KI with a dark tone (think more Twilight Princess) would have been cool.
Did the developers make this? It looks awful.
And lol at all the people calling out Nintendo fanboys for being upset about this. Disney fanboys/fangirls are awful.
I want a new 2D game with hand drawn graphics. I know they'll never do it, but it needs to be done. The NSMB series is plain as white bread.
As of late I feel like Nintendo has been distilling Mario games, 3D Land and 3D World included. Everything is too procedural; expected.
That music is so awful. Please stahp.
3D Land and 3D World were developed to be more accessible to the majority of consumers who play the 2D games over the 3D games.
10 years? Wow. That's crazy!
Too bad the new series is just forgettable.
10 years? Wow. That's crazy!
Too bad the new series is just forgettable.
Why are people saying they hope Nintendo doesn't do this? What's the big issue with offering regional servers? Nintendo would need to pony up some cash, but if it improves the game for some players then that's great.
Again. OPTION. People would still want to play against the disappearing Japanese players can have at it.
What are one of your lesser known credits as a voice actor?
Best drift mechanic in MK was in DD. Too bad.
I don't get it.
Too much backlog.
No one is buying amiibo for their functionality. If you are, then you're 1 in 100.
Ahhh Nintendolife surveys, where users are always super optimistic.
I don't see the problem. Who buys amiibos for game usuage?
@GreatPlayer thank you
I'm so tired of people complaining about all the wrong things when it comes to Nintendo. The idiot was unprofessional and deserved what he got.
Why aren people thanking him for such comments? Please realize that you are all fans his comments of complimenting Nintendo have no attachment to you.
Ultimately it is not his place to talk about the possibility of Nintendo localizing games.
If it is Diddy Kong racing, I'm quitting Nintendo.
Here's my issue, there are these games available on Nintendo systems not available in NoA; currently there is a perception of Wii U having no games here in the west, one way to curb that perception is to actually bring games over
If you are too picky with what games you choose to bring over, it only perpetuates the perception that "Wii U has no games;" and that really isn't healthy for business.
I bought a 3DS and sold it years ago. So far I've been able to hold off from buying one to play some newer games, and I will continue to hold off until NX is revealed.
Looks slow and bulky.
I hope the original comes to the eshop too, but I worry it won't because of NA's deal with Gamestop.
Microsoft only bought Rare because they thought they would be getting DK.
I wonder if he's gotten surgery? Isn't that a big thing in Japan now?
I want a classic-classic mode, and a adventure mode. I have no desire to play single player with how bare bones the experience is.
I'm not buying any of it.
The N64 stages should be free, and I'm tired of Mii costumes. I don't even use Mii in Smash.
Character alts would be a whole lot better.
I have no idea what you're talking about it. It was some of his early videos.
Can't wait til he loses something
Does any like Zero? I've watched a few of his videos and find his cockiness intolerable.
Cool trailer.
Enough with the Mii costumes. We want character costumes.
Did they just confirm slopes?
Both games were overrated by the community.
Now I want to play older Pokemon games.
I stopped checking in on Miiverse when it became a forum for children.
I'm glad they're realigning it.
I'm sorry. I could not watch the video. Guy was trying too hard.

- Hi Gregoire,
I am currently in the position you were some years ago when you were a young PhD student. Currently, one of the applications of GIS (among others) is to developed habitat maps for fish in rivers (i.e. for river restoration purposes or for ecological status assessment). I am trying (1) to analyse the error associated to the creation of these maps and (2) to asses the importance of this error for habitat mapping, river restoration, etc....I would like to ask the list if there is anybody working with something similar so I can exchange some ideas with them.

Quoted from the homepage (see mailing list)
"AI-GEOSTATS was called after Arc/Info (which explains the strange AI in
AI-GEOSTATS), a widely distributed GIS, and geostatistics. The choice of
the name is purely historical: as a young Ph.D. student in radioecology,
I was looking for information on basic tools developed for the
statistical analysis of spatial data and realised not only that the
tools proposed in the environmental sciences were elementary, but also
that more advanced tools were working like black boxes. Basically, most
GIS provided their users with a magic button "create map" and that was
all the users asked for at that time, not being aware of the fact that
many methods were existing. The question on "what interpolation method
between the many available in the literature should I use?" became
almost an obsession and I ended up doing a Ph.D. in the field. There was
such a high interest about this topic (many Arc/Info users were indeed
curious about the strange terms of kriging and variograms) that I
created my own "cluster" within ESRI's user group. I was putting the
words AI-GEOSTATS in the headers of my mails to attract more attention.
Being a bit invasive, I was recommended to start a brand new mailing
Now you know everything :)

Since my two children started speech therapy, they have grown in confidence. My daughter would always look at me for approval in what she said or would need me to interpret what she just said. Now since she has been going through this (speech) program she has not needed me. My son now communicates his needs with me with little frustration. This program has been a true blessing for not only my two children by myself as well.

Welcome to the Kutas Lab!Our broad research goal is to study how meaning is organized, accessed, and constructed in the brain. More specifically, we focus on understanding how context shapes language and memory processing. Our studies track these cognitive and neural processes in both healthy and clinical individuals across the adult lifespan. We do this primarily by assessing patterns of brainwaves recorded at the scalp as well as reaction times to various visual and auditory stimuli.
Areas of research
- Making sense of (all sorts of) sensory inputs
- Word, sentence and discourse processing
- Prediction in language
- Event knowledge in meaning construction
- Aging and cognition
- Novel word learning
- Attention, language, and memory
- Emotion, mood, and cognitive processing
- Hemispheric contributions to language and memory processes
- Using electric brain potentials to parse perception, cognition, and action

Uncover the circumstantial evidence
|| Print |
|Friday, October 12, 2012
Dave was in a bind. His top architects were all idle because his drafters were behind on their work. Clients were going to get their plans late.
Dave explained that his drafting department was a little short handed, and he needed to do some hiring. We both knew hiring new people and bringing them up to speed to be productive, would take at least 90 days.
So, what does the company do in the mean time? Just sigh and accept lateness? I asked Dave what was causing this backup, exactly.
"Circumstances," he said, "Too much client work, and a shortage of people in the drafting department." Simple, right?
There are excellent companies that handle spikes and swings in client work, and turn out high quality work quickly and reliably. Whenever someone attributes any sort of result (especially a bad result) to "circumstances" you can be sure they're in denial.
Those excellent companies face "circumstances," too — they just handle them differently.
Here is how you can rise above circumstances and achieve reliable and excellent results.
I asked Dave if this circumstance had happened before. What caused this sort of back-up in drafting? Could it be predicted?
Well, yes, it had happened before.
So, what sorts of things cause these backups?
We found three basic causes.
1. Some of the architects were afraid to say "no" to client requests for last-minute changes.
2. Others wouldn't push clients hard enough to get key decisions made on time, which caused delays — then they wouldn't tell the client "your slow decision making is delaying the project." So the clients were expecting their plans to arrive on the original timeline despite not hitting milestones.
3. In other cases, other architects would get their own work done, but not give it to the drafters until the last minute.
Dave and I spoke to Ken, the head of drafting. What could he do, if he knew in advance that there was going to be a large amount of work coming that would all need fast turnaround?
Ideally, Ken said, with 1-2 weeks' notice he could line up some temporary help. The key thing, said Ken, is to keep the same drafter on each project — trying to get 4-5 drafters to work simultaneously on a late project, or adding even a second drafter to help a first when a project is already late, just makes it later — you create coordination problems.
Ken's experience is almost universal. Among members of the Project Management Institute there's a saying, "adding people to a late project, makes it later."
But Ken didn't think he could ask for things to be different. He thought he was supposed to muddle through, push people at crunch time, and have high turnover.
I pushed back on Dave. "How do you want Ken to handle this in future?"
Dave wanted Ken to hold the architects accountable, and to take initiative to hire temporary help when he needed to, while sticking to a budget. Ken wasn't doing any of those things.
I then asked Dave the tough question: "How are you contributing to Ken's behavior?"
On reflection, Dave realized he had always done one of these things — defended the architects (so Ken was unsupported when trying to hold them accountable), or taken the problem away from Ken (teaching him to be passive), or told Ken to "suck it up" — Dave had never actually authorized Ken to hire temporary help and had never given him a budget.
Our fix involved these elements:
Track projects more closely earlier, to predict drafting demand
Hold architects accountable to say "no," to push clients to make decisions on time — or tell them their project was delayed, and to turn in their work as soon as it was done.
We accomplished this by training them to say "no" and to push clients, and we made each architect accountable for the profitability of his projects — so delays that cost the firm money or drove up drafting costs, would show up in their personal performance.
Anybody who feels like they are a "victim of circumstances" would benefit from the same analysis Dave did — look at the patterns that predict the circumstances, and look honestly for how your own behavior has contributed to those circumstances.
As the authors of the book "How Did That Happen?" put it, the real question every leader should ask themselves is, "How did I let that happen?"

RELATED PATENT APPLICATION U. S. Pat. application Ser. No. 266,790 filed June 27, 1972, entitled Ink Jet Synchronization and Failure Detection System, and having James D. Hill, et al., as inventors.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND PRIOR ART Various types of ink jet printing devices have been proposed heretofore. In one such system, drops of ink are formed and propelled from a nozzle toward a record medium, variably charged according to a signal representative of a wave form or character and deflected by deflection plates having a constant potential applied thereto. To insure good placement of drops in forming the waveform character, as the case may be, it is vital that the velocity of the ink drops remain in a predetermined range. Velocity of drops can vary considerably due to variations in temperature, pump pressure, and the like. The primary variation is due to temperature which causes large changes in the ink viscosity and hence the ink velocity as it leaves the nozzle. The present invention is intended to maintain velocity as constant as possible.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A number of arrangements are described in the present case for controlling velocity of ink drops in an ink jet printer either directly or indirectly. In one case, the temperature and/or pressure of the ink is sensed at the pump and appropriate adjustments made to the pump driving circuit to increase or decrease pump pressure and thereby increase or decrease velocity of the stream. Another version contemplates the positioning of sensors adjacent the stream of drops for inducement of a voltage as charged drops pass by the sensors and for development of corrective signals to again control pump pressure and velocity of the stream. This version can be implemented in a digital or analog fashion, as desired. In another arrangement, sensors are positioned outside the normal range of drop deflection. During servo action, maximum deflection of the stream occurs for development of potentials to control the pump with corrective action, as necessary, to increase or decrease pump pressure, and thereby change velocity of the stream. The servo arrangements set forth make use of a highly efficient pump structure based on voice coil driving principles.
OBJECTS The primary object of the present invention, of course, is to sense various parameters in an ink jet printing system in order to develop corrective signals for controlling pump pressure and/or frequency to ultimately maintain velocity of the ink jet stream within a desired velocity range.
The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of the preferred embodiments of the invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
DRAWINGS In the Drawings FIG. 1 is a system representation illustrating servo control of a pump in an ink jet system.
FIG. 2 illustrates velocity control by sensing of temperature and pressure.
FIG. 3a illustrates an arrangement for sensing velocity of an ink drop stream to develop digital count levels and conversion to analog for pump control, while FIG. 3b is essentially the same system wherein analog levels are developed directly.
FIG. 4 illustrates servo control involving the sensing of the maximum deflection of an ink jet stream.
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a voice-coil pump that is useful in the various embodiments of FIGS. 1-4.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION FIG. 1 is a generalized version representative of the various systems set forth in greater detail in FIGS. 2-4. An ink jet system 1, usually comprising an ink jet printing device, or the like, has an associated sensor 2, such as a temperature sensor. The ink jet system may be of the type set forth in the Hill, et al., patent application referred to previously. An output developed by sensor 2 is provided to an amplifier circuit 3 and from there to a comparator circuit 4. Another input to comparator circuit 4 is a reference signal on line 5. The output of comparator 4 is applied to pump control circuit 7 and is used to develop a control signal by lines 10 and 11 to coil 12 of pump 13. Servo action may be provided under ordinary circumstances from machine clock 16 through machine logic 17 in conjunction with recognition block 6. Thus the operation of the servo system shown in FIG. 1 would usually take place during nonprinting intervals such as during a carrier return (CR) interval, or home position between printing of characters that is, inter-character intervals, and the like, as recognized by block 6. As an alternative and as will be described shortly, a pressure sensor 20 associated with pump 13 provides inputs to amplifier circuit 3 instead of sensor 2. If pressure is sensed by sensor 20, as an example, provision is made to develop a corrective signal from pump control circuit 7 in order to increase or decrease pressure of pump 13 from the input signals related to pressure in pump 13. If the velocity of the stream is too slow, indicated by a low pump pressure, it may be increased by increasing the voltage applied to coil 12 of pump 13. Further, the frequency of signal applied to coil 12 may be changed to change pump pressure.
This is further illustrated in FIG. 2 where pump 13 is shown with associated coil 12. The pump assembly is further associated with nozzle 22 emitting a stream of ink drops 23 directed toward a record medium 25 for printing of characters or waveforms. In the event drops are not required for printing they are directed to a gutter 27. Ink is supplied through pump 13 to nozzle 22 from ink supply 29 by conduit 30. Pump 13 is a pump which is controlled by coil 12 such that the pressure is a function of coil current. Pressure sensor 32 monitors pump pressure and feeds a voltage analogous to pressure to amplifier 35. Amplifier 35 compares the pressure signal to the reference signal provided by amplifier 36 and adjusts a voltage controlled oscillator 38 so that current I to pump 13 minimizes the difference between the reference input and the sensor 32 output,
thus holding pressure constant. A manually set adjustment at oscillator 38 allows an initial factory pressure adjustment to be made. Amplifier 36 compares temperature reference voltage from block 40 with temperature sensor voltage from sensor 41 and adjusts the pressure reference voltage input for amplifier 35. This causes pressure to follow temperature change to hold velocity constant.
An ink jet system, without initial adjustments, could have as much as a to l variation in deflection sensitivity. This is due, in a large part, to variation in fluid flow through the nozzle. Adjusting pressure to obtain a constant velocity reduces this to a 5 to l variation. Adjusting for zero temperature effect could further reduce this variation to 1.5 or 2 to 1. At that point, including other system tolerances, an adjustment of deflection voltage would hold the machine to an acceptable level of performance.
By servo controlling pressure and automatically adjusting for temperature variation, electrical parameters are monitored rather than mechanical parameters. The system can easily compensate for different ink characteristics. Also, less precise tolerances are possible in the nozzle and in ink'batch to batch variation.
Instead of controlling coil current to adjust pressure, a constant current but variable frequency oscillator could be utilized to operate the pump. A wide variety of sensors can be used for pressure sensor 32 and temperature sensor 41. As an example, a thermocouple gauge may serve for temperature sensor 32.
In summary, the circuit of FIG. 2 holds pressure in an ink jet printer constant by means of a servo loop. lt further allows the reference pressure of the servo loop to be temperature compensated so that constant ink jet velocity is maintained with time and temperature variation. The servo loop eliminates the dependence upon relatively wide range and difficult to control mechanical tolerances and replaces them with more stable and easily controlled electrical tolerances.
If desired, either a pressure sensor or a temperature sensor could be used alone in conjunction with the pump for monitoring and changing pump pressure to thereby control velocity. The servo system of FIG. 2 could be set up to maintain a constant pressure for a given temperature and thereafter simply adjust pressure up or down in order to compensate for temperature changes. The converse is also true.
FIG. 3a illustrates a system for monitoring drop velocity directly and developing signals to control pump pressure in order to change the velocity of the drops, as required. FIG. 3a makes use of digital techniques. FIG. 3b is related to FIG. 3a using essentially the same sensor arrangement but developing analog signals to change pump pressure rather than digital signals that have to be converted to analog signals.
In FIG. 3a, a stream of drops 43 is emitted from nozzle 44 passing through a charge electrode 45. Gutter 46 is positioned for receiving drops in stream 43. Two sensors 48 and 49 are positioned a predetermined distance apart and in proximity to the path of travel of the drops in stream 43. The two sensors 48 and 49 feed respectively associated comparator circuits 50 and 51. The comparator circuits have reference potentials applied by lines 53 and 54, respectively. During testing of drop velocity, as when the nozzle 44 is at home position, or in between characters, gate circuit 56 is activated in a synchronous fashion by machine clock pulses on line 58. The comparator outputs are fed to gate 56 by lines 60 and 61 through interface connections 62 and 63, respectively.
In operation, a group of drops is emitted from nozzle 44, such as six (6) in number, or the like. The group of drops passes sensor 48 developing a voltage which ultimately activates gate 56 to gate counter circuit 65 to start a counting operation. When the sequence of drops passes sensor 49, another potential is developed that is also applied to gate 56 but that turns off counter 65 instead. Thus a number of count pulses is developed in counter 65 that is directly representative of the time required for passage of the drops from sensor 48 to sensor 49. The count status of counter 65 is applied to the digital-analog converter circuit 67 in order to derive a correction signal by line 68 that ordinarily would be applied to a pump control circuit similar to circuit 7 in FIG. 1 in order to vary pump pressure as required. As noted before, either the frequency or current drive of the pump can be changed in order to change pump pressure.
FIG. 3b is an analog approach utilizing various elements in FIG. 3a. The circuit of FIG. 3b is substituted for elements 56, 65, and 67 in FIG. 3a by appropriate connection of interface connectors 62a and 63a with connectors 62 and 63, respectively, in FIG. 3a. Outputs developed by sensors 48 and 49 in this case are applied to a ramp generator 70. Upon detection of a potential on line 60a, FIG. 3b, the ramp generator is activated. Ramp generator 70 develops a ramp signal at a known rate and range of voltage levels. Upon detection of another output on lines 61a, FIG. 3b, the output from ramp generator 70 is deactivated. The level attained is stored in the holding circuit 71 and applied by line 72 to vary pump pressure in a manner similar to that described before.
By using the foregoing techniques, the velocity of the ink stream 43 may be maintained constant. As a result, since the deflection sensitivity of stream 43 is proportion'al to l/( Vel), the deflection of stream 43 required during printing of information is also maintained in a tightly controlled manner. Using the servo techniques previously described, tolerances on other elements of the system, such as on the nozzle, temperature, etc. need not be maintained as tightly as would otherwise be required.
In FIG. 4, the actual deflection of a stream of drops is tested in order to determine velocity characteristics. Nozzle 75 emits a stream of drops 76 passing through charge electrode 77 and between deflection plates 78 and 79. During printing of information, the drops in stream 76 are directed to a record medium, not shown. When not required for printing, drops are directed to gutter 80. During testing of velocity of the stream, maximum deflection of drops is initiated by appropriate charging by charge electrode 77 and deflection by plates 78 and 79 in order that the drops reach the area of two proximity sensors 82 and 83 representing maximum deflection of the stream. As an example, a group of six drops can be used as before. Gutter 85 is positioned to receive drops directed between sensors 82 and 583. Potentials are developed by sensors 82 and 83 as the stream of drops passes by. It is assumed that a normal deflection for test purposes of the drops in stream 76 is between sensors 82 and 83. If drops pass close to sensor 83 representing an increase in velocity of the drops, an output is developed that is applied to amplifier circuit 90 and in turn to comparator circuit 91 for development of appropriate correction signal by line 92 to control pump pressure. In this case, since the velocity of the drops is somewhat high, the pump pressure is reduced. If drops pass in proximity to sensor 82, an output is developed that is applied to amplifier circuit 94 and again applied to comparator 91. In this case, the stream of drops is moving at a relatively lower velocity and the output signal by line 92 would be of an appropriate level to increase pump pressure.
FIG. 5 illustrates a highly efficient pump structure 100 that is useful in the various servo circuits previously described. Pump 100 includes a pump supporting structure 101 housing a number of elements. A flat spring member 102 is mounted for oscillatory movement in structure 101. Spring member 102 is driven by coil 104 that in turn is excited by an oscillator 106. Attached to member 102 is connecting rod 108 that in turn is connected to a bellows 110. Pump 100 further includes an input conduit 112 through which ink is supplied from an ink supply not shown. An output conduit 114 supplies ink to a nozzle, not shown, but that would be similar to those previously described. Control of ink passage and pumping is exerted by an input valve 115 and an output valve 116. The action of the pump is similar to that of a voice coil normally found in radio and television equipment, or the like. The metal diaphragm 102 and associated bellows 110 change the volume of the pump cavity 120. Valves 115 and 116 control the flow of ink in and out of the pump.
The pressure produced by pump 100 is related to the force imparted to bellows 1 by diaphragm 102 which in turn is related to the frequency and current conditions established in coil 104. With these characteristics, pump 100 is readily incorporated in the various servo circuits previously discussed and controllable as required insofar as maintaining a desired pressure range. This in turn, as mentioned, controls drop velocity.
In operation, as bellows 110 moves to the left in FIG. 5, flap 115 opens thereby drawing ink through conduit 112 into chamber 120. Valve 116 remains closed at this time. As bellows 110 moves to the right and expands, valve 115 remains closed and ink is forced through valve 116 and out of way by conduit 114 to the ink jet nozzle.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to several embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made without departure from the spirit and scope of the invention.

I love this eyebrow pencil so much.
I have owned a Chanel eyebrow palette, which had three different shades to play with, but the consistency was waxy with a very stiff brush to apply it, and it always broke me out after a while.
I had a Maybelline define-a-brow pencil in a dark blonde shade that wasn't an exact color match to mine, and ran out of fast.
This one in Grey Brown has become my favorite. It is easy to apply, the angled tip is such a neat trick. And the spoolie helps.
I apply it lightly and then have to brush it out to soften the look.
I find it stays on great all day, no complaints.
This is technically too dark for me, that's the reason why I only give it a 4. I wish there was a dark blonde shade. Applied lightly, it looks great if only a tad darker than I would like. Some days I love the bold look, some days I wish I could soften it more...

I've tried many many eye brow pencils and even tried the anastasia brow powders. this one is definitely my favorite next to my anastasia brow powder. but this one is easier and faster to apply. this is also closer to being a true dark brown. some of the brown brow liners I've tried had a red tint to it so I'm glad this doesn't have it. I have to buy this from eBay and wait for the long shipping time, but it's worth it.

I like how it has a spoolie on the other end so i can use it to blend out the pencil!
It looks really natural if i apply a little [ i prefer natural brows ] but sometimes when i apply it slightly more, it can look very 'drawn-on' despite blending it out, so be careful! It lasts quite well if i don't touch or rub my eyebrows.
It is also cheap so i can repurchase it!
I have mine in the shade Grey and it is a cool toned grey.

I have quite well-behaved and shaped eyebrows. I just need to define it and fill in the unfortunate areas. This product does the job! I love my kpalette eyebrow mascara for it keeps my desired shape of eyebrows while making it look fuller. However, EH drawing eyebrow is cheaper (costs US$ 3 here in the Philippines), has more color selection (I LOVE #3), comes with a spoolie (I removed its opaque cap to avoid confusion), lasts longer (SWEAT PROOF and no dried-wax-sticking-on-hair-like residue!) and looks natural (unless you picked the wrong shade). I highly recommend this space efficient and budget friendly makeup product!

This is a flippin great brow pencil. So affordable, easy to control, and can be blended out with the spoolie. Basically everything you want in a brow pencil.

Finally a brow pencil that has also more grey shades! I have this in grey brown and it fits my naturally dark brows perfectly and also suits my blonde hair. I have also tried three other shades that my sister has.
What I like about this brow pen is the design of the product: the triangular shape of the color itself and the brush at the other end. It's easy to do both thin and thick line and also blend with the brush. It also doesn't have to be sharpened, which I absolutely love.
This is also not too soft or pigmented like some brow pens that give too much color at once. I'd rather build the color up than swipe away excess.
It's a great product for such a affordable price! Three of these for 9� is not bad at all.

It's actually a very good product - it lasts all day, nice color payoff, natural looking, very very cheap, and it comes with a spoolie brush. But on the other hand, it's very easy to break, and it only last me for 2 months top since I use it everyday, even though I only use it for the ends of my brows. You can buy the refill, but the shop where I used to buy told me that Etude no longer sell the refill.
(+) easy to use, very cheap, natural looking
(-) very easy to break, run out fast
I'm still looking for my hg eyebrow pencils (korean eyebrow pencils are just very cheap) but if I can't find any, I will definitely go back to this product.

I really like this compared to pencils or powders. It's like a combination of the two. It looks some much more natural and easier to use. I think this is great for people like me, it's basically fool proof

Nice product.....
Just choose the lightest color or 2-3 lighter than your hair because the color are all to dark applied to me.. ( I am an asian)
but it is a very nice eyebrow pencil this far...
quiet cheap , but easily broke
dont pull out too much . it will be broken
this is my 5th time purchase and I am still satisfied with it products n price which is only $2

text: My husband and I, our two teenage daughters and two of their friends stayed at the Edison Beach Hotel in February 2013. I cannot say how perfect this accommodation was for our group. For starters, the hotel is in the perfect location: just north of Times Square, away from the hustle-bustle but close enough to walk to everything. Second, our 2-bedroom suite was IMMACULATE! No scuffs on the walls, stains on the carpet or anything that could be viewed as dated. The kitchen had everything you could need in order to cook, and the desk drawer even had a ruler, scissors, paper clips and Post-It notes! The pool, which is on the smallish side, overlooked the beautiful white-sand beach. I really could not recommend this hotel more highly for a family vacation!

Paintings by Winston ChmielinskiJuxtapoz // Monday, February 04, 2013
An admission—that I am a disorganized, impulsive person—reads more optimistically on canvas because the eye has glimpsed the edge. Therefore I paint, subjectively and impatiently, colliding impressions of points with interpretations of space (the accidentals are debris) so that the composition hangs, almost magically, in mid-air.

A Day in Florence
... and also saw the Italian Trust rings. The story is that
a King gave these to his wives and if they took them off to be unfaithful he
would know because they would not be able to get the ring back together as the
ring is comprised of four rings linked together that form an intricate pattern
on the front. They are now a bit of a puzzle and Florence souvenir. Steve and I
ended up getting matching ones. I also got a little leather bag and they

I do think these ...
Midterms are FINALLY over - Time for Celebration!
OH MY GOSH I can't believe that Midterms are finally over! This week has been so stressful because classes here do not have homework, so the only grades that matter are midterms and finals. I actually had to study for these tests, and who ever knows me I don't think I have actually sat down and studied for a test since probably 4th grade! After my Italian final, my last one of Thursday, the roomies and I went to celebrate by going to ...
