KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Baby Messiah gets to keep his name.
On Wednesday, a Cocke Co. mother successfully appealed a Child Magistrate's August decision to change the then-7 month-old boy's name from Messiah DeShawn Martin to Martin DeShawn McCullough.
At the time, the magistrate, Lu Ann Ballew, explained the change by saying that "`Messiah' is a title that is held only by Jesus Christ."

Bird Skeleton by siennaameeWatch
©2012-2015 siennaamee
back in April I visited my great grandmother's farm, and while walking through one of her old barns I found this little guy (or girl.) thought it was pretty cool. (:
That reminds me of some time ago before hurricane sandy there were HUNDREDS of dead birds everywhere it was awful.
That does sound awful... makes me sad just thinking about it.
It was pretty darn scary because near December 21st it happened yet again and I got a bit frightened, but it seems that they all died a natural death, because they didn't have injuries and some were still fresh while others were completely skeletons with no meat remains.
do you still have it? it would look really cool if you could remove the remaining skin, without dislodging any bones.
i love the wings
o very cool^^ but too bad it die but very cool photo!
His (or Her) soul went flying to the sky. I hope so.
I hope so! I felt bad for the poor little thing.
grotesque and cool
Haha thanks, that's why I was thinking. Although I do wish it was in a little better condition.

Sailing in at dawn on silent wings, a great horned owl lands on the edge of her nest in a towering mesquite.
Great horned owls are among the earliest nesters in the South Texas wildlands, and sometimes they do not even wait until the first of the year.
One reason they get such a head start is that it takes so long to raise their brood.
An entire month was invested incubating the eggs these two fluffy white chicks emerged from.
It will likely be another thirty plus days before fledging, and they will still require weeks of care as they learn to hunt on their own.
Soaring in with a twig to add to her nest, the white-tailed hawk is also an early nester.
White-tailed hawks are not in quite the rush as great horned owls, and usually wait until early March before beginning.
But, like great horned owls and other birds of prey, they will spend more than a month rearing their young.
Harris's Hawks have been known to nest as early as December, but often wait until March or April.
In times of prolonged drought, raptors will sometimes delay their nesting until rains bring the promise of a healthy prey base.
Aplomado falcons prefer the tops of spiny yuccas on the coastal prairie, and tend to nest later in the spring, particularly if dry conditions persist.
With nesting season just getting underway, timely rainfall would certainly benefit the more than a dozen birds of prey that make their home in deep South Texas.

Product Description
Earliest in the set is the Cello Concerto (1968), a generally pretty piece not especially typical of its time. It's a little tentative, but one may still get a sense of the basic musical values to come. Rautavaara was a mature composer by this time (he was 40).
The three piano concertos appeared in performances with Laura Mikkola on two recent Naxos releases. The hyper-romantic Concerto 1 (1969) is uncharacteristically bombastic, even with the lovely second movement chorale. The finale is cartoonish. I wonder how much of this work is tongue-in-cheek in response to what else was going on stylistically at the time. I have not heard the Naxos (554147).
This recording of the gorgeous Cantus Arcticus (1972), a "Concerto for Birds and Orchestra", is its fourth. I reviewed it in March/April 2006; it is coupled there with the Clarinet Concerto. Of course, this is really not a concerto (more a tone poem) but it is one of the greatest scores of that musically troubled time period and one of this composer's best pieces. The complementary Ballad for Harp and Strings (1973/1981) pits the Vaughan Williams-y language of the Cantus against discombobulated dissonance and self-conscious sound effects more typical of its time. Too bad.
The Flute Concerto, Dances with the Winds (1975), is an impressive piece of work and one of the better contributions to this flooded genre produced in that period. I was enthusiastic about it in 1999 (S/O) and remain so. I'm surprised there aren't more recordings of it yet, though it will be hard to top this fine one.
The Concerto for Organ, Brass Quintet, and Symphonic Wind Orchestra (Annunciations, 1977) is an extended work of Ligetiesque avant-gardism mixed with Carnival of Souls organ surrealism, disembodied chorales, momentous brass fanfares, explosive noise, thoughtful mysticism, nervous gesture, Gothic fearfulness, and lots of aimless meandering uncharacteristic of this composer. It was obviously an experiment, and it must have extramusical meaning of some kind, but it functions poorly as pure music.
The Violin Concerto (1977) comes from the same year, but you would never know it. Mostly romantic, filled with traditional cadenzas, songful lyricism, and passionate virtuosity, the interestingly structured piece for the most part steers away from "progressivism" and positions itself as a repertoire candidate. Elmar Oliveira plays it with conviction.
The Double Bass Concerto, Angel of Dusk (1980), is one of this composer's genuine duds. In three movements--the middle one is a 9- minute cadenza--the writing seems tentative and unconvincing. This was originally recorded by BIS, whose typically distant engineering does no favors to this difficult if not impossible combination.
As for the other Piano Concertos, 2 (1989) and 3 (1999) were recently issued on a Naxos release (M/A 2004). 2, a dark, expressionist work, approaches greatness in certain places, particularly the closing section of the second movement and the remarkable opening of the first. Both Ondine and Naxos performances are outstanding, with perhaps a very slight edge going to Naxos for the overwhelming close of the last movement or some slightly more polished detail in certain places. 3, Gift of Dreams (1998), written for Ashkenazy to perform while conducting, is an unusually beautiful three-movement work leading off with two poignant nocturnes. Ashkenazy plays it on this set. Ms Mikkola plays it beautifully on Naxos, but seems a little overwhelmed in the more turbulent passages in the finale.
I was a little rough on the Harp Concerto (2000) in my original review (M/A 2002), objecting primarily to some of the unnecessary "effects" and dirty harmony in the opening movement and the shameless ending of the last; but I hear it as a magnificent work that can just use a little editing. Even without it, it's worth hearing. The latest work in this collection is the sensual Clarinet Concerto (2001) (M/A 2006), written for Richard Stoltzman, who plays it here. I don't care for Stoltzman's pinched, vibrato-laden sound; but it's a beautiful piece sure to enter the standard clarinet repertoire. I look forward to a competing recording, but if you haven't heard it yet don't miss this one.
All told, this is an important and useful release. -- American Record Guide, Allen Gimbel, January/February 2010
Finland's enterprising Ondine label has faithfully recorded the music of the eminent composer Einojuhani Rautavaara (born 1928 in Helsinki) for decades and has assembled from their extensive catalogue of his works this immensely valuable collectors' edition of four discs documenting a dozen concertos composed by him over the past 30 years. All of the recordings were supervised by the composer and feature outstanding soloists accompanied in most cases by the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of the redoubtable Leif Segerstam. Rautavaara's extant series of concertos (though a recent percussion concerto has yet to be recorded) begins with the 1968 Cello Concerto, heard here in a performance by Marko Ylönen, and extends to the lengthy 2001 Clarinet Concerto in a masterful performance by its dedicatee Richard Stoltzman. My personal favourites include the stunningly evocative 1972 Concerto for Birds and Orchestra "Cantus Arcticus", which amalgamates the composer's own field recordings of the waterfowl of northern Finland in a halo of shimmering orchestral sound, and two compositions from 1977, the kaleidoscopic scoring and stream-of-consciousness impunity of the single movement Concerto for Organ, Brass Quintet and Symphonic Winds with Kari Jussila the soloist and Elmar Oliveira's affectionate account of the capricious mood swings of the Violin Concerto. The collection also includes a lively Flute Concerto with Patrick Gallois, a succinct Ballad and prolix Concerto for harp, and an uncanny Concerto for Double Bass. Rautavaara's three Piano Concertos, the first two performed by Ralf Gothoni with the Leipzig and Bavarian Radio Symphony orchestras and the third performed and conducted from the keyboard by Vladimir Ashkenazy in Helsinki, provide an excellent overview of the composer's stylistic evolution over the decades. Considered by many as one of the greatest musical figures in Finland after Jean Sibelius, Rautavaara's compositions are infused by a rich palette of expression that consistently reward the listener while remaining admirably contemporary in their approach. All the selections feature excellent production values and constitute a loving tribute to this important composer's considerable achievements. -- WholeNote, Daniel Foley, September 30, 2009
Okay, the Ballade for Harp and String Orchestra technically isn't a concerto, but who's counting? Rautavaara's concertos are arguably more consistent and representative than his symphonies. The First Piano Concerto, the earliest work here, exudes the sort of spiky Finno-Russian neoclassicism that we find in Englund and Shostakovich, but from the Second Piano Concerto on Rautavaara is very much his own man, and every one of these pieces, even the relatively gnarly concertos for organ and double bass, are well worth getting to know. Several strike me as flat-out masterpieces, including the Second and Third Piano Concertos, the Violin Concerto, the Harp Concerto, and of course Cantus Arcticus for taped birds and orchestra. Furthermore, the performances are all first rate, from Ralf Gothóni and Vladimir Ashkenazy in the piano concertos, to Elmar Oliveira, Richard Stolzman, and Patrick Gallois in the concertos for violin, clarinet, and flute, respectively. The orchestral accompaniments leave nothing to be desired either, and the engineering is uniformly excellent. All of these works have appeared previously in Ondine's Rautavaara edition where many have been reviewed in detail at CT.com, but coupling them this way makes an ideal introduction to the composer and his special sound world. I just hope this set, which inevitably has a retrospective feel to it, doesn't mean that Rautavaara will not continue to produce symphonic works and concertos despite the ill-health he has suffered recently. By all means, indulge! [9/14/2009] -- ClassicsToday.com, David Hurwitz, September 14, 2009
Performance: 4 stars Sound: 4.5 stars
This four-disc Ondine set collects the complete concertos of Einojuhani Rautavaara. While these 12 works may not make the best argument for the Finnish post-modernist's status as a great composer -- his eight symphonies surely make good that claim -- they certainly make the best argument for his status as an amazingly effective, astoundingly diverse, and wonderfully individualistic composer. The works themselves are all from Rautavaara's wide-ranging maturity. There are three piano concertos, one concerto each for violin, cello, double bass, flute, clarinet, organ, and harp, as well as a Ballad for harp and orchestra, plus the sui generic "Cantus Arcticus" for taped Artic bird songs and orchestra. Though the majority of the works are in three movements, each is unlike any other in conception and execution. From the megalomaniacal Piano Concerto No. 1 through the atmospheric Flute Concerto "Dances of the Winds" to the luminous Bass Concerto "Angel of Dusk," Rautavaara never repeats himself. Each work is superbly composed for its chosen soloist; the nearly Romantic Piano Concerto No. 3, "Gift of Dreams," written for Vladimir Ashkenazy, is a prime example. The soloists are always technically impressive, particularly Patrick Gallois' virtuosity on four separate flutes. They are also often emotionally compelling, especially Elmar Oliveira's seamless legato in the Tranquillo that opens the Violin Concerto. Recorded in cool, clear, deep, and very vivid digital sound, this set deserves to be heard by fans of the best of post-modernism. -- Allmusic.com, James Leonard, September 2009
Rating: 4 stars
Like the German composer Paul Hindemith, Finish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara loves composing concertos with diverse instruments. You get to hear them all in this stimulating collection, one that proves that in the field of composition, he can do just about anything--even be bad. This is the only collection of his concertos and it is splendidly performed. Try some of the unusual ones first. His Concerto for Organ, Brass Quintet and Symphonic Wind Orchestra, early in the score, bursts the pious mode that's chained organ music for past five centuries. Like an impish child, it peeks around corners and startles with its concoctions: a warbly instrument (an Ondes Martenot? A theremin?), brash percussion, inventive string accompaniment. His Concerto for Birds and Orchestra ("Cantus Articus") is his strangest, although composers have incorporated animal sounds before in their works. (Alan Hovhaness loved his whales.) But this piece really does conjure up a sense of place: With its pre-recorded bird sounds and hypnotic strings, it suggests a trip to the shivery arctic tundra.
The Concerto for Double Bass and Orchestra ("Angel of Dusk") is a knotty, dense work with Esko Laine on the double bass. His cadenza in the middle of the work astounds. There are three piano concertos, two as bright and daring as Bartok's; the third--alas--disappointing. It's probably not all Rautavaara's fault. He composed this last one for pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy, who also wanted to conduct as he played. Bad decision. The themes are trite and unadventurous, the musical ideas few, and the mood veers frequently into mawkish land. No matter, the other concertos are worth listening to many times over. The Concerto for Flute and Orchestra and the one for Clarinet and Orchestra are spunky works, particularly with Patrick Gallois and Richard Stoltzman performing. Listen to the short and sweet Vivace in the Concerto for Flute and you may not be able to turn off the rest of the work. And there is the Concerto for Violin and with its ghostly romantic opening, the Shostakovichian Cello Concerto (particularly that feisty Vivace), and the unorthodox Concerto for Harp and Orchestra. How can you go wrong? -- Audiophile Audition, Peter Bates, September 14, 2009
The expression worn by the handsome Finnish composer in his cover photograph, taken in 1948, seems quite in keeping with his provocative statement that his concertos symbolize the dramatic conflict between the individual (the soloist) and the collective (the orchestra). Though different, these works, written over four decades and featured on a four-CD set, share several traits: the juxtaposition of opposites; the violent contrasts between dynamics, textures, colors, and moods; the colorful orchestration; and the tendency to stretch the soloists' technical and tonal resources. In the violin, cello, and bass concertos, the solo parts go into the highest stratosphere and require the players to produce double-stops, chords, jumps, high-speed runs, and every imaginable sound effect. The performances by three consummate string virtuosos are quite breathtaking, as is that of the Clarinet Concerto, played here by its dedicatee, Richard Stoltzman.
The three Piano Concertos are full of tone clusters, instrumental fireworks, and effects. Rautavaara (b. 1928) wrote the first one for himself in 1969, the second 20 years later for his great compatriot Ralf Gothóni, who gives a stunning performance of both, and the third for Vladimir Ashkenazy, who also conducts. -- All Things Strings, Edith Eisler, November 2009
The four CDs in Rautavaara: Concertos, from Ondine, will expand your love for the 81-year-old Finnish composer's oeuvre far beyond his wondrous, best-selling "Cantus Arcticus" Concerto for Birds and Orchestra. Three concertos for piano and orchestra (played by dedicatees Ralf Gothóni and Vladimir Ashkenazy) join others on violin, cello, double bass, harp, flute, and clarinet (with its dedicatee, Richard Stoltzman). There's also a concerto for the unusual combination of organ, brass quintet, and symphonic wind orchestra, plus a Ballad for Harp and Strings. -- San Francisco Classical Voice, Jason Victor Serinus, November 30, 2009

Video-streaming service Netflix gives you a vast number of films, TV shows and documentaries to choose from – and that can be a problem.
More often than not, you find yourself spending your entire evening shuffling through the selection trying to pick something to watch – before realising that you no longer have time to actually watch a film.
Never fear; we've rifled through the Netflix catalogue to bring you our top picks, from chucklesome comedies to action-packed adventures. Let Stuff be your guide on your cinematic odyssey.
And before you cry, "Wait! Where's [insert your favourite critically-acclaimed and highly popular show/movie here]?" we'll add the following disclaimer: we overhaul the list regularly and try to skew it towards things that you may not have seen yet.

Toy Story Trilogy
The original Toy Story is now 20 years old (yes… we know), but this tale about what toys get up to when you're not looking still feels fresh. Cowboy Woody butts heads with sci-fi action-figure Buzz Lightyear, who doesn't realise he's a toy. Despite the subject matter, Toy Story wisely avoids the saccharine, instead filling its 80ish minutes with toy-based peril, great set pieces, and plenty of in-jokes for the many old people watching.
Two sequels followed, with the third film in particular exhibiting moments that were surprisingly dark, scary and tear-jerking — sometimes all at once. It also ends so well that we're going to pretend that the fourth Toy Story slated for 2018 doesn't exist.
How To Get Away With Murder
Even the toughest defence attorney needs interns, but they don't have to like it, which is why Annalise Keating gives her new students such a hard time. Their arrival is just the start of her problems, though.
Viola Davis is outstanding in her lead role, showing great strength to maintain mastery over the courtroom while her husband's involvement in the murder of a sorority girl becomes increasingly apparent.
This is a fantastic combination of drama, murder mystery and courtroom wrangling, making How To Get Away With Murder the latest must-watch TV show to add to your binge list.
Beasts Of No Nation
Netflix's first foray into feature film-making is not for the faint hearted. This is the story of a young boy, horribly orphaned as the result of a militia attack on his village, who falls into the retinue of a brutal, yet also charming commander of a band of child soldiers.
It's violent, visceral and sobering, and features Idris Elba in his most impressive performance to date. But it's newcomer Abraham Attah who shines brightest of all as the boy at the centre of the drama.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1
Splitting the final book in the Hunger Games trilogy into two parts means this first part is a little quieter than the two previous films (and presumably the final film, due at the end of November), but it's also more interesting.
There's no arena-based deathmatch here, but instead a full-on war emerging between the Capitol and Rebellion. But this is a modern war, which means much of it is fought in the media, and Katniss has to play the propaganda game despite her discomfort.
But don't worry, there's still a fair bit of bow and arrow action in there for the thrill-seekers.
The most critically acclaimed Netflix original series of 2015 tells the bloody story of Colombian cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar and the man tasked with taking him down. Sounds like a laugh riot, right?
While Narcos lacks much in the way of light-relief, watching American DEA agent Steve Murphy submerge himself in a viciously amoral cesspit is a constant thrill. What could well be a high-minded exercise in true crime melodrama is elevated to nerve-shredding nirvana via some classy performances and the disturbing use of archive footage. Escobar's brutal legacy lives on through your telebox, and the horror of it all will make you wince in anguish.

Qunar Jumps on Mobile User Growth as Ctrip Tumbles
Qunar Cayman Islands Ltd., the Chinese travel-booking website controlled by Baidu Inc., surged in New York after reporting an increase in travel reservation on mobile devices. Ctrip.com International Ltd. plunged.
Qunar, based in Beijing, rallied 11 percent on Jan. 3 to the highest level since its U.S. debut in November. The Bloomberg China-US Equity Index of the most traded Chinese stocks in New York slid 1.5 percent, capping a 2.5 percent slump last week. Ctrip.com, China's biggest online travel agency, led declines on the gauge with a 7.9 percent retreat.
Qunar, which has surged 99 percent since its initial public offering, said in a statement Jan. 3 that its mobile application accounted for 50 percent of total hotel bookings, while air-ticket bookings reached a record over the New Year holiday. Ctrip said in November that 30 percent of its hotel bookings came from mobile devices.
"The market certainly reacted to Qunar's data, which show the company's mobile users have risen," Tian X. Hou, the founder of T.H. Capital LLC, said by phone in New York Dec. 3. "China's travel market has just started to boom and both companies will ride the tide."
The iShares China Large-Cap ETF, the largest Chinese exchange-traded fund in the U.S., retreated 4 percent last week to $36.66 in New York. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index dropped 0.5 percent.
Growth Momentum
Qunar's American depositary receipts surged to $29.92, with trading volumes almost seven times the 90-day average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Ctrip's ADRs sank to $45.53 in New York, falling the most since Nov. 6. Its 13 percent drop last week was the biggest since Nov. 22.
Qunar's air ticketing record demonstrates growth momentum in its mobile reservations, which is encouraging, according to Henry Guo, an analyst at ABR Investment Strategy LLC who has buy ratings for both companies.
"Those online travel agencies will compete more aggressively in January as we draw close to the Lunar New Year holiday," Guo said by phone Jan. 3 from San Francisco.
Home Inns & Hotels Management Inc., China's largest budget hotel chain operator, sank 4 percent last week to $41.94, the biggest slump since June. The Lunar New Year holidays are set to start on Jan. 31.
Yingli Surges
Yingli, the biggest solar-panel maker, rallied 38 percent last week to $6.61, rising the most since November 2012. It was the biggest weekly gainer on the China-US gauge.
Average prices for polysilicon, the key raw material for making solar panels, climbed to the highest level since October 2012, data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
Yingli also gained after announcing a joint venture with Datong Coal Mine Group to develop and construct solar power plants in China's northern Shanxi province. Vishal Shah, a New York-based analyst at Deutsche Bank AG, said the joint venture is "an incremental positive" in an e-mailed report on Jan. 2.
YY Inc., the Guangzhou-based owner of a social entertainment website, soared 15 percent last week to $58.02 in New York, the highest level since its U.S. debut in November 2012.
The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index in Hong Kong dropped 3.6 percent last week to 10,436.76, the largest weekly decline since October. The Shanghai Composite Index sank 0.9 percent for the week to 2,083.14.

Liverpool Josh Graham was an artist whose work will never be seen in any gallery, whose drawings won't be on display in any museum or sell out a show.
Josh died by suicide at 17 before he even graduated from high school.
"He'd been seen [by mental health professionals] several times, but it's so difficult to diagnose in a young person," said his mother, Debra Graham. "There wasn't enough time for him to get a true diagnosis."
In the weeks and months after his death, Graham sought answers and a way to channel her grief into something positive. She found the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, with which she is now actively involved, and the Out of Darkness Walks, which seek to raise awareness about mental illness and suicide prevention.
"One day, I got a brochure in the mail, and I thought it was just junk mail," Graham said. "I went to toss it out but the word 'suicide' caught my eye. It was telling me about the first Out of Darkness Walk in Long Island, and the date was significant – it was held on Josh's 19th birthday."
It felt like fate was directing Graham to the walk.
"I felt I needed to go for several reasons," she said. "I could celebrate Josh's birthday and see what it was all about. It was very empowering. There were about 600 people there, carrying pictures of their loved ones. I'd had no idea this many people were impacted by suicide. It was a wonderful way to memorialize loved ones. I felt like I needed to bring it to the Syracuse community."
Graham and Mary Jean Coleman, executive director of the local chapter of the AFSP, organized the first Syracuse Out of Darkness Walk in 2006.
"We held the first walk six years ago," Graham said. "About 65 to 68 people attended, which was more than I was expecting. We raised a little over $8,000. This year, 800 people attended, and we've raised $50,000 so far. We're still taking donations."

I received this mascara as a GWP. The first couple of times I used the mascara, I really liked it. It went on heavy and made my lashes look dramatic and thick. However, soon after I began using it, I noticed that when I would apply it, there would be big globs of mascara on the wand, and when I would screw the lid back down, the mascara would seep out on the sides. -- not sure if it did this because it was a mini size as most GWPs are, but I have decided that I will not purchase the full-size product for fear that it could have the same results.

I got a couple of samples of this in various GWPs (why do they always give out freebies in black?!) and decided to give it a try. I like a false-lash effect and have previously used ELs Magnascopic and hoped this might do much the same but with less mess. It did! Both mascaras have quite a runny texture that helps to reduce the clumps but I found the Magnascopic quite difficult to apply and it tended to smudge and flake during the day. They've done much better with this one though, great long lashes, easy to apply, lasts well but removes easily. Everything I could wish for! My only gripe, you do need to wipe the wand on the top of the botle the first few time otherwise there's just too much product.

Oh my God! This is like the best mascara ever!!!! Now, after using Lancome's Hypnose, I thought that I would never buy another kind of dramatic mascara ever again. But, then I decided that I wanted waterproof so that I would get all day wear and then some. However, Hypnose at the time didn't come in waterproof. So, then about 7 months ago I discovered Maybelline's Turbo Volume Express, which I thought was the most amazing mascara I ever tired. It totally gave me the false lash look. Now, forward 6 months later. My lashes are short and brittle and dried out. So, I decided to try a sample of High Impact. Everyone around me always raved about it, but I was always like, ehhh, Clinique's mascara? Yeah, right. BUT OH MY GOD!!! They were soooo right! This is the most dramatic regular mascara I have ever tried! It is smudgeproof and doesn't flake off. Even after I'm dripped w/ sweat during a workout, my lashes are still PERFECT!!! Now, you might be thinking, this girl hasn't tried all that has been out there, so else why would she be saying Clinque? Well, I have also tried Benefit Bad Gal (Hated it w/ a passion, huge brush (which I loved, horrible mascara), Estee Lauder's Magnascopic, YSL Cils, Chanel Cils a Cils, L'oreal Voluminous (which sucks to me), Lancome Definicils (did nothing) and Dior Show (which was okay). High Impact is a fabulous mascara where you an just do two coats and you're set to go. I wear it in black, which is as black of a mascara as you can get. TRUST ME! This is definately a must have!!!! I LOVE CLINIQUE HIGH IMPACT!!!!!

i really hate this and all clinique mascaras i have tried. they all come right off at the slightest hint of moisture and i always end up with racoon eyes within a few hours no matter which ones i try. they also don't do much for my lashes, and usually turn greyish. i love clinique lipstick and skincare, but their mascaras are terrible.

This was the worst mascara I have ever tried, and actually the most expensive mascara I've ever tried. I've always been the drug-store type, because the prices are decent and the products I buy meet my expectations. So when a friend gave me the "free gift" that Clinique offered when she bought a product, I was all over it. One of the products was High Impact Mascara, and it was the worst mascara I have ever tried in my entire life. I unscrewed the cap and pulled out the brush and saw how messy it was. SO MUCH GLOBBY MASCARA was just...globbed onto the brush, so much that I had to wipe lots of it off. I curled my lashes like I always do and then put this mascara on. I knew it would be messy and globby, so I used a light touch, but the stuff still came on unevenly and globby. My lashes were unnaturally dark and clumpy, and then I noticed that my beautiful curl in my lashes was gone. The thick mascara had totally weighed them down. I wish I could put a picture online so everyone could see how terrible my eyelashes looked.
If you want a messy, globby, clumpy mascara that makes your eyelashes completely straight and flat, try this!

Skin: Acne-prone, Olive, Warm
Hair: Black, Relaxed, Coarse

I've been on a hunt to finding my perfect mascara. Unfortunatly this isn't it, but when I was using it, I was still satisfied. It builds nicely, doesn't clump very much. Easy to wash off, but doesn't flake off or anything. The problem was it didn't hold my curls, so so it didn't do much more for my tiny asian eyelashes than the other mascaras i've tried.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
If my eyelids can get infected by mascara, they do get infected. My eyes are super-sensitive to something in mascaras. I buy Clinique almost exclusively because they're hypoallergenic. Never bother me. I like the High Impact because it looks natural and it's not clumply. It doesn't rub off either. Good stuff...
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Straight, Fine

This is one of my favourite masacras!I'm in love of masacras and this one does it all! Lengthens,strengthens,adds volume...It ocassionally smudges but it's worth the money!

Kids Are Cruel: Live-Action TV
- On Lincoln Heights, when Lizzie gets a basketball scholarship to an upper class boarding school the students initially appear to be welcoming, but it later turns out that they are racist, manipulative elitists who couldn't care less about her as a person and only care about her basketball skills. Basically, they expect her to act like "a girl from the hood." And the adults aren't much better.
- The main character of Pushing Daisies was picked on at Boarding School, because of his introversion and his tendency not to retaliate. And when he did retaliate, the bullies waited until he was alone and then beat him up.
- A major factor in Warren Mears growing up to be a stone cold, woman hating, megalomaniacal PSYCHOPATH.
- Simon on Flash Forward was bullied as a child growing up in Canada because of his accent and for being a Teen Genius. Until one day, when he filled his lunchbox with rocks and beat the crap out of the bullies with it.
- Midsomer Murders likes this one; at least three episodes have children as murderers.
- The Law & Order episode "Killerz" involves a ten year old girl who casually murders a six year old boy for the fun of it, and receives a slap on the wrist for it. During her psychological evaluation, she casually admits to poisoning the neighbors pets, of enjoying having killed someone, and of having plans to kill again.
Dr. Emile Skoda: "She's a Serial Killer. We just caught her early."
- What's equally sad is the likelihood that the girl is a sociopath because of abuse she herself suffered — her father's in jail and she has tolerate her promiscuous mother bringing numerous lovers home and not even bothering to close her bedroom door when she has sex with them — it is implied that any number of these men has made advances to her as well. Is it any wonder that she's completely screwed up with a hatred of all things male?
- Law & Order: Special Victims Unit had an example of a very young-looking thirteen-year-old date-rapist who was pushing his victim to get an abortion; his secret lovechild half-brother who had a crush on the victim killed him when it seemed like he was going to take matters into his own hands. There's also the two fourteen-year-old girls who almost succeed in pinning the murder of an eight-year-old on a retarded neighbor — actually one girl was "normal" and the other was the psycho/sociopath who tortured the kid because it was funny and strangled him because he was gonna tell.
- Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger: Bandora's son Kai was chased off a cliff to his death by a dinosaur...because the dinosaur caught him slashing its eggs open, dumping the insides out, and then throwing the shells in a river for no apparent reasons. Unfortunately, Bandora didn't take her son's death well, and made a Deal with the Devil for power to exact revenge upon all of dinosaur kind.
- An episode of TheOffice had a gang of kids attack Pam and Andy, later when confronted and asked why they assaulted them and threw things at them the leader replies because Pam was fat and thought Andy was gay.
- This is basically the whole plot of seasons four and five on That's Just Me. Elizabeth suffered so much emotional torment that she develops an eating disorder, is sick every day, and almost kills herself by sticking her finger inside an electrical socket. She obviously doesn't, but her personalty is permanently altered as a result. And this is back when the show was still rated PG.
- Max, at the beginning of Wizards of Waverly Place.
- Kenard in The Wire. What sets him apart is he truly is a sociopath. In one episode he douses a cat in lighter fuel in one scene and kills someone in another

Populating Entities From Stored Procedures With NHibernate
A short while ago we needed to fetch the data for some entities through a stored procedure for performance reasons. We already use NHibernate in the typical way to fetch and modify the data of this entity type, but we just wanted something so we could also use the resultset of the stored procedure to populate the entities. One of my team members spent some time figuring out how to get the data returned by the stored procedure into the entities without actually having to write the code ourselves. Turns out this was pretty easy to do. Let's go over the solution with a very simple example.
The stored procedure I'll use for the example is extremely simple, and you'd never need to use this technique for such a stupid procedure. But in the situation we faced at work, the stored procedure was obviously a lot more complicated. So the stored procedure for this example is just this:
This just returns the product rows for the given CategoryId parameter. Again, you'd never do this in real life but this simple procedure is just used as an example.
Now, the structure of the resultset that this procedure returns is identical to the structure that the Product entity is mapped to. This makes it really easy to get this data into the Product entities. Just add a named query to your mapping like this:
And this is all you need to do in code to get your list of entities from this stored procedure:
Is that easy or what?
Now, suppose that the stored procedure returns more columns than you've got mapped to the entity. You can still use this approach as well, but then you'll need to specify which return values map to which properties in the entity like this:
Notice how the CategoryID and SupplierID columns are mapped to Category and Supplier properties, which in Product's mapping are mapped as Category and Supplier many-to-one types, so basically references of type Category and Supplier respectively. NHibernate basically just takes care of all of the dirty work.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Omaha is set to begin the restoration of seven acres of historic oxbow wetlands dominated by invasive species along the Big Papillion Creek.
Officials will hold a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday to mark the start of the project at the Heron Haven wetland sanctuary in northwest Omaha.
The corps will work in partnership with the Papio-Missouri River Natural Resources District on the project, which will replace invasive species like reed canary grass and cattails with native vegetation like green bulrush and arrowhead.
The Heron Haven wetland sanctuary provides habitat for a wide range of species and contains one of the last remaining oxbow wetlands of the Big Papillion Creek's historic meandering channel.

After weeks of speculation, the NCAA finally brought the hammer down on Penn State's embattled football program. The school was left reeling after a sexual abuse scandal rocked the top-tier football program. Several investigations concluded that Penn State's board and executive committee failed to properly investigate allegations against ex-assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. Sandusky was later convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years on university property.
SEE: Financial Implications Of College Football Playoffs
The much-needed punishment Penn State received for its role in covering up Jerry Sandusky's crimes was undoubtedly stiff, and the case has become a lightning rod for intercollegiate athletics and the surrounding community. With the punishment now handed down from the NCAA, the question remains what exactly will be the long-term fallout from those actions.
Stiff Penalties
Citing "hero worship" and a "warped athletic culture," NCAA President Mark Emmert issued a landmark ruling and levied unprecedented penalties against the Penn State football program. These included banning Penn State from bowl games for four years and imposing massive scholarship reductions. Additionally, the school was hit with $60 million fine. Penn State will pay $12 million a year for the next five years into a special endowment that will be used to fund programs for the prevention and treatment of child abuse. That $60 million fine from the NCAA is in addition to the $13 million levied by the Big Ten Athletic conference.
Finally, the NCAA went after the university's beloved former head coach, Joe Paterno, who was fired for his role in the scandal. President Emmert vacated all of Penn State's victories from 1998 through 2011, removing 111 wins from the football program. This removed Paterno from having the most all-time wins in major college football.
Penn State president Rodney Erickson said that the university would have faced even more disciplinary measures had it rejected the NCAA's initial penalties. This included a dreaded four-year "death penalty" for the program. Essentially, that would have effectively shut down football at Penn State.
What Happens Now?
Given the severity of the penalties, it's only natural to begin to think about the long-term effects on the school. Certainly, there will be severe repercussions from the scandal. The real question is just how far the fallout will extend. Some analysts have postulated that enrollment in the university as well as donations could drop. Neither has taken place so far. However, there are some real financial concerns beginning to take shape.
No Bowl Game Revenue
One obvious concern is the lack of bowl game revenue. The four-year ban prevents the university from attending these events and therefore the school will not be eligible to receive its share of the conference's bowl revenues. The university has been a bowl game fixture for quite some time and the revenue hit is hard. The Big Ten title game alone is worth roughly $13 million. As one of the few profitable programs in the country, Penn State's football revenues are used to support a wide range of other intercollegiate sports for both men and women. Any reduction in revenue will ultimately trickle down and hurt those other organizations.
Secondly, Penn State is already losing money from advertising sponsors. Insurance agency State Farm recently announced it will pull its ads from broadcasts of PSU home games. Likewise, GM has begun reviewing its relationship with the university. Analysts estimate the university could face an exodus of sponsors who are unwilling to have their brands linked to the sexual abuse scandal.
Additionally, ESPN reports that sales of Penn State related merchandise have begun to drift lower. Sales of Penn State clothing have fallen, from about $80 million in 2010 to $60 million after the scandal broke last year. Analysts estimate that PSU will only gross only about $45 million in T-shirt sales this year.
With all the fines and litigation, Penn State's credit rating has begun to suffer. Ratings agency Moody's reported that it may cut the university's Aa1 rating on its $1 billion worth of outstanding debt. The rating agency said it was concerned about a report by former FBI director Louis Freeh as well as other state and federal investigations that are currently underway.
SEE: A Brief History Of Credit Rating Agencies
The Bottom Line
After receiving some of stiffest penalties in NCAA history, the fallout from this sexual abuse scandal is beginning to take shape at Penn State. While this punnishment is indeed warranted, the consequences of losing bowl games and football revenue will affect much more than only the football program.

That's the main reason I'm still using Olympus (plus the SSWF).
Is this something that could be done for files from other cameras in post-processing?
I didn't have much success trying to do this in Photoshop.
Not straightforward.
You can get a match for an Olympus colour individually but it's not that easy to get the overall balance for the whole spectrum right.

Fantasy Spin: Ellis surgery won't slow down Nelly's Warriors
Updated: August 28, 2008, 2:34 PM ETBy Guy Lake | Special to ESPN.com
Warriors fans will have to wait a little longer for the Monta Ellis era to begin.
As ESPN's Marc Stein is reporting, Ellis underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a torn deltoid ligament in his left ankle. The prognosis is for Ellis to miss three to four months, and after speaking with ESPN injury expert Stephania Bell, I think it is safer to err conservatively and plan on Ellis returning after closer to the four-month time frame than a three-month absence.
Ellis will have ...

Two Sentences that Explain the Crisis and How Easy it Was to Avoid
William K. Black
July 9, 2013
Everyone should read and understand the implications of these two sentences from the 2011 report of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC).
"From 2000 to 2007, [appraisers] ultimately delivered to Washington officials a petition; signed by 11,000 appraisers…it charged that lenders were pressuring appraisers to place artificially high prices on properties. According to the petition, lenders were 'blacklisting honest appraisers' and instead assigning business only to appraisers who would hit the desired price targets" (FCIC 2011: 18).
Those two sentences tell us more about the crisis' cause, and how easy it was to prevent, than all the books published about the crisis – combined. Here are ten key implications.

In St. Augustine, Florida in 1875, an ambitious experiment was conceived: to teach Native Americans to become imitation white men. With the blessing of Congress, the first school for Indians was established in Carlisle, PA, to continue the "civilizing" mission. Indian students had their hair cut short and were forbidden to speak their native languages or to visit home for up to five years. By 1902, there were 26 reservation boarding schools. In the White Man's Image examines how this humanist experiment was really cultural genocide in disguise.

Kramer, who officially takes over on Tuesday, signed a deal until June 2015.
"Although the weekend defeat makes things very difficult for us we need to look forward," Fuerth president Helmut Hack said in a statement on Monday.
Fuerth lost 3-0 at home to relegation rivals Hoffenheim on Saturday to stay in last place on 14 points with their opponents on 19. Augsburg are a further two points ahead in the relegation playoff spot with nine games left in the season.
"Frank will push our fresh start forward so that we can look forward with a sense of confidence," Hack added.
Kramer will be assisted by Ludwig Preis, who briefly took over as interim coach after the sacking of Mike Bueskens in February.

A full year after we expected wireless HD to really take off, we're barely in a position different than the one we started in. If we can point to any initiative in particular that has grown legs over the course of 2008, it'd be AMIMON's WHDI. Today, the company has shipped its 100,000th Wireless High-Definition (WHDI) chipset, a milestone that's pretty impressive given the general ignorance of wireless HDTVs in the consumer space. As of now, these chipsets are shipping in ultrathin LCD TVs by top-tier brands (think Sony, Mitsubishi and Sharp), and they're also finding their way into Wireless HDTV dongles that bring cordless freedom to older sets. AMIMON is hoping to see quite a few more WHDI-enabled HDTVs ship to America in 2009 -- we have all ideas the introductions at CES will be a good gauge of how ready manufacturers are to agree. Full release after the break.
AMIMON Ships Its 100,000th Wireless High-definition Chipset
AMIMON Makes Wireless HDTV a Reality in Consumers' Homes
Santa Clara, Calif. – December 9, 2008 – AMIMON Inc., the leader in semiconductor technology for wireless high-definition (HD) video, today announced that it has hit a major milestone with the shipment of its 100,000th wireless HDTV chipset. AMIMON continues to advance toward making its goal of whole-home wireless HD video connectivity a reality.
AMIMON is the only provider of wireless uncompressed HDTV semiconductor solutions that is shipping in volume chipsets that are included in products currently sold to consumers.
AMIMON's chipsets have been embedded into multiple products shipping in the United States, Europe and Japan. Consumer electronics applications that are currently shipping with AMIMON's chipset include:
· Super-thin LCD TVs by leading TV OEMs that are embedded with the AMIMON chipset, wirelessly connecting the panel to a separate connector box that can be placed anywhere in the room and throughout the home.
· Wireless HDTV link video accessories ("dongles") that convert legacy HDTV into wireless TVs.
In addition to consumer electronics applications, the high quality, robustness and low latency of AMIMON's solution have lead manufacturers in the commercial, professional and medical industries to adopt AMIMON's technology. Example applications include:
· Wireless link for professional AV cameras in HD broadcast applications.
· Wireless link for medical imaging applications.
· Wireless link for high-end commercial projector systems.
"AMIMON's technology is the de-facto technology of choice for wireless HDTV," said Noam Geri, AMIMON's vice president of marketing and business development. "The 100,000 chipsets shipped serve as the best reference for the superiority of AMIMON's solution."
AMIMON's video-modem technology applies a smart algorithm that is best suited for the needs of quality-conscious consumers. While other wireless technologies struggle to deliver every single bit of video information using a rigid data modem, resulting in an unstable link that would lead to consumer frustration due to complete loss of the video link, AMIMON's video-modem is utilizing a radically different approach. By allowing the system to ignore errors of bits with virtually no visual significance, systems with AMIMON's WHDI technology achieve extreme robustness, enabling the consumer to enjoy interruption-free high-quality video throughout the home.
"The promise of robust wireless solutions aimed at delivering high-quality video streams will only be made real by the adoption by consumer electronics companies, so it is very encouraging to finally see a wireless HDTV technology delivering on its promise," said Kurt Scherf, vice president and principal analyst for Parks Associates. "The 100K chipset milestone represents a turning point for the industry and a major achievement for AMIMON as it continues to drive WHDI as the standard for wireless HDTV."
AMIMON's wireless technology will be on display at the upcoming 2009 International CES show, which runs January 8-11 in Las Vegas. Demonstrations based on AMIMON's technology can be viewed at various locations in the Las Vegas Convention Center as well as at AMIMON's suite, No. 23121, at the Las Vegas Hilton.
AMIMON's WHDI technology has been selected as a CES Innovations 2009 Design and Engineering Award honoree in the "Enabling Technologies" product category.
