fair point that
than individuals.
Yeah I know what you are coming from. It's sad because this is very common senses thing we all should know this football is a violet sport. If you are halfback you know you going get beat the sh*& of you by the D-line, LB, etc….. (But I will be thinking I am tough halfback nothing is to going hurt me.) You are in tough Sh*&
You no major in English?
No I think that only Northwestern is violet, Michigan is Maize and Blue.
If people are terrible at assessing risk, and that negates the "players knew that football is dangerous" defense, why doesn't the same logic apply to the NFL? At that point you're basically saying "we're dumb and you're way smarter than us, so you owe us money"
The only wy this should succeed is if they can PROVE the NFL was sitting on a ton of specific info that they deliberately and systematically withheld from the players. That's a high hurdle.
The sad thing is that this suit is probably the result of a few lawyers seeing a fat payday from a rich target, and these lawyers are just being exploited again.
Obviously the second instance of "lawyers" should have been "players"
I believe the whole point is that the players didn't know the risks, and they are alleging that the NFL did. I think it's easy to look at the game now and say "of course all that stuff is bad," but it wasn't too long ago that players could get knocked unconscious on the field and then go back in a few plays later. I think you're overestimating the degree to which people understood the nature of football-related head injuries (especially ones that are not huge, head-rattling hits).
I don't know any more about this case than anyone else, but it doesn't seem unreasonable that the NFL figured out how bad these head injuries were and didn't do anything about it until it creeped into the public consciousness. Or it could just as likely be the case that retired players want/need money because they're broke and/or the union doesn't provide enough medical coverage for them. This is why these things play out in court.
I'm asking honestly...what do you think the NFL would have to gain by doing that?
Also, concussions are still not very well understood today, so to think the NFL had a good understanding of them a decade ago is pretty far fetched IMHE.
You don't think the NFL would be interested in hiding information that indicates that repetitive brain trauma caused by football leads to what is essentially early onset alzheimer's and all the consequences therein? It's bad business when your product causes that kind of damage, and hiding it would be in their interest.
I'm not sayint that's what happened, or concussions and sub-concussive trauam associated with football is a direct cause of some of the recent former player tragedies we've seen, just saying that the NFL would certainly have an incentive to hide knowledge of such a connection.
Just to clarify, I'm not saying the players are right or that the NFL is going to or should lose. Just saying that there is a logic to the case that merits letting it play out.
But to answer your question, there are a few reasons I can think of as to why the league wouldn't acknowledge increased risk they knew about. Think about all the people who very loudly complain about how the NFL is ruining the game or watering it down or how it's barely football any more every time a rule is changed. Think about the increased subjectivity in officiating when it comes to penalizing helmet-to-helmet hits. Plus, it really makes the game look bad when the governoring body announces that the players we love watching are probably going to be suffering from memory loss, dementia, depression, loss of motor control, and generally degrade into the severely elderly by the time they hit their 50s.
Now, there's a lot of research that is pouring out right now about how things like acculumated subconcussive hits affect the brain long-term, and a lot of that research is very preliminary. Plus, the game has really sped up and gotten much more super-humanly athletic in recent years; I wouldn't be surprised if the NFL is scrambling to play catch-up on understanding health issues. But the former players seem to think otherwise. I have no idea who's right.
What do they have to gain by downplaying the risks of employment to the employees? Their whole business model depends on having the top-flight talent out on the field, not on the sideline. People don't pay to see the scrubs. The owners pressure the coaches to get injured players back on the field, the coaches know their jobs depend on it, and the league is run by the owners. The incentives to press the employees back into working is through the roof, particularly when in this case, much of the damage is allegedly long-term. It's like saying "what does a coal mine operator have to gain by downplaying health risks to the miners?" Uh, besides everything, you mean?
The point I am getting at is if owners knew, they would have nothing to gain by hiding it and everything to gain from finding ways to prevent it (which is what they are doing now). Also, you don't think the fact that they get paid in the millions of dollars to take part in this sport would more than offset the fact that the sport COULD cause some long lasting effects? Now who isn't being serious.
Look at fire fighters. They face far more serious risks than football players and get paid far less, yet continue to do their job. I just don't see the point of your post.
If you operated under the assumption that if the general public knew playing football could cause concussion and with that knowledge, the best players in that sport would quit playing I could see your point, but that would go against what we know of human behavior.
This is why I don't believe the NFL has anything to gain by hiding anything. It is in their interest to keep the best players healthy and on the field.
What if there's no easy way to prevent it? It seems like there might not be, especially if the theories on sub-concussive trauma being as bad or worse than actual concussions. It's been proposed that basically on every play lineman are doing long term damage to their brains from colliding with opposing lineman. How do you prevent it? Even with much of the public now more aware of the risks, there isn't anything remotely close to a consensus on how to prevent concussions. Without any answers, the NFL absolutely would hide the problem.
The motivation for the NFL isn't just about keeping the best players playing, it's about stemming moral outrage. If the masses know that by playing, all these players are dooming themselves to a very poor standard of living in their 50's, do they keep watching? I don't know, but it's a risk the NFL would rather not face. Additionally, if anyone in the NFL is taking the long view (I'd be surprised by this), they could be concerned about later generations not playing because those generations were prevented from playing by their parents, and never became the potential best players in the world they could have been.
People always knew that you could get concussions playing football, and that concussions were bad. But only in the last decade have researchers realized exactly how bad CTE is (such as that found in Andre Waters or Dave Duerson), or that such brain damage can result from repeated sub-concussive impacts.
However, that fact - that nobody knew how much brain risk football entails - works in the NFL's favor in this suit. If the NFL couldn't have known how much risk the players were taking, how could it have disclosed such risk to the players?
Exactly. It isn't like the NFL is in the business of doing concusion research and they suppressed their findings.
Whatever the NFL could learn about various concusion studies, the players would have the same access to. It is not possible that the NFL conspired to keep some big secret.
You can only kow what you are getting into if you have full access to information about the risks. That is the point. If the NFL (a big if) withheld information about the risks then, by definition, the players did NOT know what they were getting into.
Exactly, I know that if I biff it on my motorcycle and wrap my body around a tree my chances are slim to none that I'm going to come out alive. Its an implied risk that I accept because I love my motorcycle and riding.
Again, if the NFL covered up evidence then they have a claim for that but to say they did not know/or should have been told that smacking your head on the ground 20 times a game is bad thats just ridiculous.
Shouldn't the Players Union hold some responsibility too? I mean, they represent these players and if they are truly watching out for their best interest, why didn't they alert their members?
I find this whole thing to be ridiculous. Does someone really need to be warned that playing professional football is dangerous and can lead to long term health issues? Give me a break.
Here's an idea: QUIT USING YOUR SKULL AS A BATTERING RAM.
Yes, the players union shoud have some responsibility. But to see the regard the union has for the retirees just look at how shitty their pensions are. The NFL gets a lion's share of grief over it, but its not like the union ever stands up for the retirees.
When really the union ought to be getting most of the grief since they're the ones they are the ones that are supposed to represent the players' interest. The NFL looks out for the NFL and the Players' Association looks out for the players. Or at least it's supposed to.
Not judging who's right or wrong without actual facts of the case. I just keep thinking back a few months ago when Troy Aikman said the NFL may not keep the number one spot in sports much longer and all the analysts laughed at him. If the players win this case, hold on to your hats NFL fans.
The NFL will always be number one because there are two huge, but separate interests; fans and gamblers. Some pure fans may lose interest if the physical level of football is diminished, but there will always be gambling viewers as long as someone is able to rush for a 4-yd td in their fantasy league. No other sport has the sheer betting draw as the NFL and that aspect has nothing to do with big hits.
The same could be said for boxing and horse racing not too long ago.
What could be said for those sports? I'm having a hard time relating them to what I said.
They also used to be very popular due to gambling. Now it has shifted to football. Gambler's tastes seem to change periodically. I know it's a different demographic, but take the elderly for example. They used to hit the local bingos religiously. Now the chic thing is to go on bus trips to the casinos that seem to be popping up everywhere. Just because something is the top dog right now doesn't guarantee it will be five or ten years from now.
The NFL isn't popular due to gambling. The NFL evolved from a great spectator sport to one that became addicting to gamble on. People have always been able to bet on the outcomes of sports like boxing, horse racing, and even football. However, with the invention of the internet and instant access to statistics, people can essentially bet on every single play via fantasy football. How many fans of horse racing or boxing ever spent hours during the week evaluating players and lineups for an upcoming match or race? The NFL has created a whole new legion of gamblers that never even existed before and whose tastes won't shift. They don't want to simply gamble, they want to gamble on whether or not Adrian Peterson rushes for 165 yds and 2 TDs.
I understand your point but I still think that popularity is cyclical. Look at how popular fantasy baseball was when it started and now it's been mostly replaced by fantasy football. I'm also not sure how much financial influence a legion of fantasy leagues would have to keep the NFL solvent if they have money problems. It seems to me the gamblers would just move on to another sport the way they migrated to football.
As far as horse racing goes, I used to work with a guy who would be in his early 70's that knew all the horses at the local tracks in Columbus and would go to the Little Brown Jug religiously. He read the racing lines or whatever you call them and bet on races across the US all the time. I think that horse racing was the NFL for a lot of people in his generation.
Troy Aikman's not that smart. Too many concussions.
the pads and helmets they were putting on? They couldn't pay for doctors to evaluate themselves periodically? They couldn't put 2 and 2 together to realize that 250 pounds going full speed at 250 pounds might have some effect on one or both player? Where is the "secret" information on this open playing field? Were there secret death rays being spewed on the field from the luxury boxes? Drugs in the Gatorade? Can't see how they win this case, but I can see how they collect if the NFL rolls and settles to make the suit go away...
The NFL won't roll and settle, because that would open them up to similar suits from every player who has ever played. The NFL will fight this tooth and nail.
WalMart is famous for fighting pretty much every liability suit brought against it, whether or not it makes sense from an immediate economic perspective. They'll pay $50,000 in legal fees defending themselves against a suit that only asks for $10,000, with the reasoning that refusing to settle will help to dissuade future suits. Ethical or not, it makes sense for the NFL to take a similar approach.
I can't wait for the day where you have to sign a waiver at a restaurant saying that they fairly warned you that your coffee may be hot.
EDIT: I fully realize that this isn't a great comparison, I'm just commenting on the fact that this is the direction we are heading in an age where everyone is terrified of being sued for something that should have been common sense.
If you're referring to the McDonalds coffee case, it wasn't quite as frivolous as just a person spilling hot coffee on themselves and cashing in. McDonalds intentionally kept their coffee dangerously hot so that it would stay fresh longer and save them money, even though they knew this was likely to result in injuries. It was sort of a less deadly version of the famous Ford Pinto case.
A good summary is here.
I was making a general statement.
What a waste of time. I don't see how the players can win this.
Have a look at previous tobacco legislation.
Focus in on the guy who used to run the NFL's concussion research programs (the guy screwed up Rick DiPietro's career as well). There's your roadmap to victory.
If an employer is aware of a risk to its employees, and fails to notify the employee of those risks (or worse, actively conceals the risks from the employee), then the employer may be liable for the resulting injuries.
I'm not saying it's a slam dunk; the facts are murky at best. But it's based on a really sound legal theory.
People need and want things to blame for erratic behavior and football is a great scapegoat. Brian posted something a while back that said that the per capita suicide rate among football players is actually much much lower than the general population. It is simply because football players are so high profile that it seems like there is so much suicide, which MAY result from depression, which MAY result from concussions, which MAY result from football. I mean, you're making three ludicrous leaps of faith. As a scientist, this type of irrational jumping-to-conclusions should be avoided.
Although there is a clear link of football to brain damage, brain damage to concussions, concussions to depression, and depression to suicide, it should also be noted that suicide is most often (the most general cases of suicide) not related to brain damage. If depression is the accepted trigger of suicide, then it is STILL irrational to say that brain damage was the cause of depression because the vast majority of cases of depression probably have nothing to do with brain damage. In other words, there is a high (> 90%) chance that these players who commit suicide could be depressed from other things, and not the brain damage.
Finally - on the note of having my prospective children prospectively play football - there are hundreds of thousands of ex-peewee, ex-junior high, ex-high school, and ex-college football players that are 100% normal functioning members of society with no depression or problems. I don't see anything wrong with it until high school, but playing college ball would not be advisable.
I'm beyond tired of hearing the logical fallacy that head injuries from CTE cause these events. A couple of poorly understood pathologic studies does not yet a medical breakthrough make. That's not to say there's nothing there; but let's at least be sensical in the conclusions we draw and not start with lawsuits and policy changes on correlations alone.
I wouldn't expect this suit to last very long. The NFL has been handing out fines for head shots for a long time. They make the players wear helmets and pads. Point being, they have been trying to prevent head injuries for a long time. The severe quality of life imapct that concussions have wasn't known until recently. Even if it had been known, the players would have still played (obvious since nobody's quitting now). There is no known way to prevent consussions, other than the numerous steps that the NFL has taken to penalize and fine players for headshots. If anything, the people who should be getting sued are the ones who put bounties out on injuring players, especially since that was happening recently.
The issue is that they covered up information...not that they didn't try to "make the players play safer" the players are saying that you didn't tell us what concussions would do to us, even though you knew!
I guess my point is that even if the NFL had this kind of information (incredibly unlikely since I doubt that 2,000 former NFLers have heard about some secret studies and memos that the general public has not seen yet), it wouldn't have made any difference whatsoever either on the decision that the players make to play the game, or on the safety rules and equipment.
The NFL knows the effeffects of concussions on the human body when the medical community doesn't even fully understand it....I guess we have been asking the wrong people all this time.
There are no end of risks in life. Trying to eliminate all risks is a costly course of action, and it won't work.
All the advice and regulation is well meant, and some of it is even good. But here are several problems.
I personally believe that both the NFL owners and the players are complicit in ignoring many of the risks inherent in football, and this suit is simply an attempt by many players to get more of the pie. Another unpleasant reality is that better than 78% of former NFL players are broke within 3 years of retirement, and have nothing to show for their salaries while playing ball. What do broke, bankrupt former players have to lose in being part of a class action suit? Who knows, maybe the thinking is that a mere $20,000 or $50,000 or $100,000 would make a huge difference to someone who has virtually nothing.
I agree on the excessive protection of our society creating a distorted sense of safety. My dad has railed about this for years. The seat belt thing reminds me of something he told a class one time. Instead of putting more safety features on cars, we should make them more dangerous. Put nitroglycerine in the body panels and then people would drive more carefully.
Edit: Now that I've written this, I realize this may not have been an original idea. It actually sounds like something George Carlin might have said but my dad repeated. Either way, the point's the same.
That's actually one of the bigger hurdles to cutting down on head injuries in the NFL, in my opinion. Players have a false sense of security because they're wearing helmets (which protect the skull and do almost nothing to protect the brain) and assume they can whack each other in the head without consequence.
IIRC, isn't the "safest" helmet for preventing brain injury not even required equipment for the NFL? I don't remember the brand, but it seems I heard this on the radio, which was probably ESPN, so it may be complete BS.
I have no idea, but logically the league must not require players to wear the safest helmet. Players have a choice in the helmet that they wear and different players wear different things, so logically the league must not require they use the single most safe helmet, otherwise they'd all be wearing the same one.
but that's like saying people would have less sex if you simply made condoms less effective. Protection in the form of helmets, condoms, and even seatbelts aren't in place for the major blasts-- they also serve to protect from incedental contact as well. In reality, only some people would hit less hard or with better form if their helmets seemed less safe-- and would probably not seem as effective in comparison to their competition.
Think about the benefits of football as well. While I am not so ignorant to claim that every athelete is a poor innercity kid willing to risk everything to improve their situation, it is very true that while the danger increases from playing football (more exposure to hits from bigger, faster people), the benefits also go up. If you take it as a given that most of us played HS football (I didn't), how many of you would have played for four more years just to get free education? How many would have played for six of seven more years if you knew you were getting ten, fifteen, or twenty million dollars in adiditon to the cashe that comes with being a former professional athelete? I am pretty sure that just about everyone would, though that might change as we learn more. Nevertheless, I can only feel so bad for former players who recieved so much benefit from their careers-- even though I admit that my pity goes up as you look further and further back into history and see players who didn't recieve the massive benefits players have been recieving over the past fifteen years (at least).
Regarding your first point, I'm not saying that safety is a bad thing. I'm saying that a lot of people misunderstand what kind of safety a helmet provides. Helmets prevent skull fractures, primary, and only offer limited protection from things like concussions. So, to use your condom example, it's more like people assuming that because a woman takes birth control that you don't have to use a condom for protection from STDs. It's the false assumption that one form of safety carries over to another form of safety.
I think you're probably right, though, that a lot of players (regardless of SES background) wouldn't pass up the chance at a full ride scholarship or an opportunity to play in the NFL (although, Sweat from OSU did just that). But that's kind of besides the point of the legal case in question; that's counterfactual thinking that's not proveable one way or another.
I can't remember the name of the book, but read it during a freshmen class that showed that stastically seatbeats actually caused more accidents due to that the assurance of safety led to more reckless driving.

November 28, 2015
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- The Memphis City Council has included sexual orientation and gender identity in an ordinance that bans discrimination in city hiring.
The Commercial Appeal reported council members voted 9-4 on Tuesday to amend the employment ordinance. It applies to only City of Memphis employment and not to private companies operating in the city.
City code and policy already barred discrimination based on a number of factors that include race, religion, age, disability and other factors.
Paul Houghland of the Family Action Council of Tennessee said the change put the city on "a slippery slope" toward erosion of the traditional family.
But the Rev. Valentine N. Handwerker of the Cathedral for the Immaculate Conception urged passage, saying the City Council could turn the page on another form of discrimination.

What are the Scientific steps in investigatory project?
Below are the basic steps that your students can follow in doing investigatory projects: = Step 1. Gather Ideas = Observe surroundings and notice the things th…at need improving. Next, add some creativity and logic to think of possible solutions. Then consult knowledgeable people if the idea is doable. For example, instead of complaining about the pollution in the city, think of creative, effective ways on how it can be reduced. Or use a junked bicycle to design a washing machine (this project won First Prize in Improvisation during a Regional Science Fair). = Step 2. Research = Gather as much data and information about the project. ScienceProject.com has project guides with background information and experiment design. Meanwhile, Encyclopedia.com and Wikipedia.com have general information on any subject. Project ideas and material can be found at MiniScience.com, while local libraries can provide relevant reference materials to the project. = Step 3. Variables = Determine the possible variables or changeable factors in the experiment. = Step 4. Hypothesis = From the research and variables, write down an educated guess on what the different factors that influence the project are. = Step 5. Experiment = In designing an experiment, write a step-by-step list called an experimental procedure, taking into account a control variable (nothing is changed, neutral, reference point) for comparison. Also write the list of materials needed. = Step 6. Results = A series of experiments, when one variable is changed at a time, can yield results that can give an idea as to how one variable affects the others. Process the raw data into charts, calculations and/or graphs to come up with the experiment results. Summarize what happened and identify the trends in the experiment. = Step 7. Conclusion = Answer the original question based on the experiment's trends and your own observations to find out if the project hypothesis is correct. For a more advanced guide, check out EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCE PROJECTS: An Intermediate Level Guide. Meanwhile, for more information on research paper writing and possible topics, goodessaytopics.com is a good resource website. A detailed list of research paper specifications can be found in statpac.com. Hopefully, by the end of the investigatory project, be it in the field of science or philosophy or arts, your students can gain valuable knowledge from the research and experiments. (MORE)

Creative Eggshell Crafts for Kids
Eggshells may seem like garbage but they can be used in so many fun eggshell crafts. Kids enjoy making things and growing things. Eggshells are just the medium to let them exp…lore and learn. Make cards, decorations, candles, and more with these small pieces of calcium. Try the crafts below for an afternoon of fun with your children.Create blown eggs together with your kids. They enjoy trying to blow the eggs out of the eggshells. Simply poke a hole in both ends and let them blow until the egg comes out of the shell. If it is not coming out easily, stick a long pin in it and swish around to break up the egg. Once empty, wash the shells in warm soapy water to rid it of any leftover egg and allow to dry. Use Easter egg dye or another dye to color the eggs any color you wish. Add sparkles and other decorations to make them your own. Once they are finished and dry, glue a ribbon hanger onto one end using a hot glue gun. Hang them from an Easter tree made from a bare branch.Make an Easter eggshell mosaic card using leftover colored Easter egg shells. Place a piece of heavy card stock on a table and fold in half. Draw an egg shape onto the paper and let the kids cut it out using safety scissors. This creates an egg-shaped card you can open. Write a message on the inside using markers and crayons. Once cut out, place on a piece of newspaper to keep your table protected. Break up the eggs shells into small pieces, around 1/4 inch. Cover a small section of the egg with Elmer's glue. Start laying the broken eggshells onto the glue, colored side up. Work with small sections until the whole card is complete. Make different designs and symbols using the eggshells. When finished, allow it to dry for 24 hours and give to someone you love.Shed some light on Easter with an eggshell votive. The kids love the glow of the candle through the colored egg shells. Use a large, raw egg for this project. Break open the small end of the egg carefully. Remove around an inch off the top to create a round opening big enough to fit a votive candle in. Carefully wash the eggshell to remove the egg and allow to dry. Use Easter egg dye to color the egg shells as you would any Easter egg. Again, allow the egg to dry. Set the eggshell on an egg cup and place a tea candle inside. If the candle doesn't fit perfectly trim a bit off it until it does. Light the candle and enjoy the glow.Save those eggshells and use them to start seeds. Start with 12 eggshell halves placed in an empty egg carton. Fill each of the eggshells almost to the top with organic potting soil. Select a plant seed you wish to grow and put one in each of the eggshells. Water until the soil is just moist, keep moist according to the seeds you chose. After a week or two the seeds start sprouting. Place them in a sunny location to grow. These can be planted in your garden after they have a few of the secondary leaves. In the meantime enjoy watching the plants growing in your home.After you have your breakfast there is no reason to throw out those cracked eggshells. Use the shells as cute decorations in the flower pot. Simply place the cracked bottom of the egg into the dirt in the potted plant. It makes the plant look like it has small eggs in it. When you get tired of the eggshell decorations simply smash them up and allow them to mix back into the soil. They compost down and add nutrients to the soil.Save your eggshells and make eggshell crafts with your kids. Use the eggshells you would have discarded to grow plants, create cards, or decorate. There are many uses for the eggshells you have in your home. The kids love creating works of art with the bits of shells that they have left over from Easter and blowing out eggs to create Easter trees. Choose one of the crafts above for a fun afternoon activity with your children.When blowing out eggshells, save the eggs. Blow the eggs into a bowl to be used later for making omelets or other tasty egg treats. (MORE)

If you are thinking about painting inside your home, you have several decisions to make. It is not just about the color. You must also, among other things, think about the pai…nt's finish. Remember that the more sheen the paint finish has, the easier it is to clean but the less likely it is to cover existing wall blemishes. Paint with an eggshell finish has just a touch of sheen, much like the shell of an egg.Eggshell is more durable than flat paint, which has no sheen, but it is not as durable as satin paint. Use eggshell in rooms in which you want to have a formal, elegant look, such as a formal living room or dining room, master bedroom or guest room. These rooms generally do not have a great deal of traffic, so you usually do not have to clean these walls much.When you are painting with an eggshell finish, select a high-quality paint. The higher the quality, the more durable the eggshell finish is apt to be. While it still does not reach the durability of satin, its ability to withstand normal activity is higher.Where there are children or animals, there are bound to be accidents. Eggshell paint is not a good choice for rooms where children or pets spend much time. Wiping smudges and splatters off of walls is much easier with one of the shinier paint finishes.Eggshell does not hide imperfections as well as flat or matte paint does. If you have walls with imperfections you cannot or do not want to repair, don't use an eggshell paint. The blemishes shine through the paint, and the finished product does not look as nice as you want it to look.Paint with eggshell when you want an elegant finish that is more durable than flat. It can stand up to mild cleaning, and when your walls are properly prepared, it has an attractive appearance. If you do not have pets or children, eggshell probably can work in almost any area of your home.Luster and the ability to be cleaned easily are fundamental when choosing a paint finish. It is important to size up your room taking into consideration the architectural details. Your goal is to minimize dirt while creating the most appealing space for the enjoyment and relaxation of you and your family for years to come. (MORE)

Eggshell Paint: What It Is and Where to Use It
Paint sheen varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but eggshell paint remains a popular mid-range finish choice. The sheen of a paint refers to its shininess, or the amount… of light it reflects. Eggshell paint is supposed to have the same reflectivity as a newly laid egg.Eggshell paint does not include any actual eggshells in its recipe. It is a mid-sheen paint, more reflective than flat paint and duller than high-gloss paint. It hides some surface imperfections and dings and can be easily cleaned.Because it's a smooth and reflective paint, it is easy to clean. Its glossiness helps to brighten darker rooms. While extremely high-gloss paints tend to accentuate surface irregularities, eggshell paint does not magnify these blemishes as much. Eggshell paint is an excellent all-around paint.Eggshell paint's easy cleaning properties make it a great choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Dining rooms and children's rooms also benefit from the easy-to-clean surface and reflective properties. Eggshell paint is also a good choice for trim work, especially in a bedroom or living room setting where the walls are painted with a low sheen paint.Because it doesn't hide wall imperfections, eggshell paint provides a less formal atmosphere. For this reason, it's not a good choice for formal living rooms and dining rooms. Bedrooms need a low-gloss surface on the walls, so eggshell should not be used in those rooms either. Any room that has major irregularities in the plaster work should not be painted with eggshell finish, as the sheen magnifies the appearance of the dings in the walls.Eggshell paint is the workhorse of the paint world, useful for any room where you need a balance between washability and concealing surface imperfections. Before starting a paint job, check the finish of the paint you're using under natural light, and get a sample from the manufacturer to confirm you've gotten the sheen you want.Due to eggshell paint's reflective properties, it is important to consider the lighting in the room and how the paint may take to it when using it on interior walls.

From Infertility to Fertility
Fertility is something that can be an emotional topic. When getting pregnant just isn't happening or when you have had multiple miscarriages, this is a time when you are emoti…onal, frustrated, and maybe just a little angry. It is comforting to know that there is help available. Seeing a doctor who can help to decide what kind of treatment would be best for your specific needs can be empowering, as well as a little scary. Knowing a bit about what is going on in your body may help. Understanding what infertility is, how to diagnose it, and even some of the possible treatments available for it can help you to feel more in control.Infertility isn't just the inability to get pregnant in a short period of time. Infertility is defined as the inability to get pregnant for a year or more, regardless of the number of attempts. However, having many miscarriages in a row is also considered infertility. The numbers change depending on your age, as the older you get the less time you have to be able to conceive in order to be considered fertile. Infertility isn't uncommon; according to the CDC 10 percent of the women in the United States have difficulty getting pregnant. Women aren't the only ones who can be infertile either, one in three men also have fertility issues.There are many causes of infertility, however in women, most of them are problems directly linked to the reproductive system or ovulation. When a woman doesn't ovulate they are unable to release eggs on their own. The most common reason for infertility in women is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). For a man the most common reason is call varicocele. For an accurate diagnosis of the cause of her infertility, a woman will undergo a physical exam, including a sexual history, and a few infertility tests. Doctors are also able to use an ultrasound to help diagnose infertility. Men will undergo a physical examination, history, and will be required to submit a semen sample for analysis.There are several ways that a doctor can help a person get pregnant. You and your doctor will determine the best course of action to take. The doctor can opt to treat infertility with medication, surgery, artificial insemination, or assisted reproductive technology (ART). The downfall to a few of these options is that they can be quite expensive, and are not guaranteed to work in the first round of treatments. With an average cost of $12,400 per procedure, this can be quite costly and is a decision that must be made by both partners, and a point at which it is no longer a feasible option should be determined.There are several types of medications that you and your doctor can discuss using. There is medicine that causes the ovaries to ovulate, which is often used with those experiencing PCOS. This medication stimulates the pituitary gland, helping to stimulate ovulation. Another type of medication affects the hormones related to estrogen, and is an injection that causes the ovaries to begin ovulating for that cycle. Some women have high levels of progesterone, or male hormones, and there is a medication that can help to lower those levels and encourage the body to ovulate as well. Ovulation patterns can be off if the woman has high levels of prolactin, and there are now medications to help with this fertility issue.A laparoscopic surgery is commonly performed to evaluate the fallopian tubes and possibly unblock them if needed. IUI, or intrauterine insemination, is a procedure in which a woman is injected with specially prepared semen. This is usually done when the infertility problem is mild male infertility or when there are problems with the cervical mucosa. ART, or assisted reproductive technologies, are used when both the sperm and egg will be used to create embryos which are then implanted back into the woman's body.Assisted reproductive technology encompasses a wide range of options to help someone become pregnant. There are three procedures that are well-known, and three that are not as well known. All of the other forms of AFT include fertilization of the egg in a laboratory. * Surrogacy and Gestational Carrier options are considered to be old-fashioned with all of the technological advances available today. The CDC states that a surrogate is a woman who agrees to have a man's sperm inserted into her egg, and allowing the man and his wife to then adopt the resulting baby. * A gestational carrier is a person who has no genetic relationship to the child but is willing to have an embryo implanted in her womb, and then carry the baby to term. The baby is then relinquished to its natural parents at birth. The process is performed by inserting a fertilized egg from the mother and father into the surrogate. * In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a procedure used to fertilize eggs outside of the body. This is the most widely used and most effective form of ART. * Zygote intrafallopian transfer, or ZIFT, is a procedure used to transfer the embryo to the fallopian tube instead of the uterus. * Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is used when there are serious problems with the man's sperm, or for those who have failed with IVF. ICSI involves having a single sperm injected into a mature egg, and then implanted into the female. * Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), allows fertilization to occur in the woman's body, however the egg and sperm are transported to the fallopian tube.Getting pregnant can be stressful even when everything goes the way it should. However, when things don't go as smoothly as desired it can become very stressful. It is reassuring to know that there is information available about the different types of infertility treatments. Knowing your options can give you the necessary confidence and knowledge to talk with your doctor and understand what he is proposing when he is talking about ways for you to become pregnant. These questions can help you decide the right type of treatment for you. It can also help you to learn a little more about how infertility can affect you.It is important to note that many treatments to increase fertility can also increase your chances of having multiples. This is a concern because women who have multiples often have problems during their pregnancy. Another concern is with the fetus. The more fetuses you conceive the higher risk of being born premature. As multiple fetuses already grow a little smaller due to sharing resources in a mother's body premature birth can cause an increase of health and developmental risks. (MORE)

ESPN to broadcast college football playoffs
NEW YORK The college football playoff system will be televised on ESPN for 12 years once it starts after the 2014 season, the network said Wednesday.
The title game will be played on a Monday, at least a week after the semifinals.
The deal is worth about $470 million a year, a person with knowledge of the terms said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the fee had not been announced.
Folks are going to love this playoff and the attention ESPN will give to it, BCS executive director Bill Hancock said in a statement.
ESPNs current four-year contract to air the Sugar, Orange and Fiesta bowls along with the BCS title game is worth about $125 million per year.
ESPN will own the rights to all six bowls involved in the four-team playoff system. Conference commissioners had decided that the two semifinals would rotate among those half-dozen sites; the four not involved each year will host major bowl games similar to the current BCS contests. The title game will be bid out each season through a separate process, as the Super Bowl is for the NFL.
There will be three contract bowls that offer automatic bids to particular conferences in years they dont host one of the semifinals: the Rose, Sugar and Orange. The network already had separate deals for the same 12-year period through the 2025 season for those games, which are affiliated with the Pac-12, Big 12, Big Ten, ACC and SEC.
The new agreement also gives ESPN the rights to the three host bowls, which will feature at-large teams along with the top squad from the group of five conferences without ties to a contract bowl. The sites for the host bowls are still to be determined, though the most likely landing spots are the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Ariz., the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas, and the Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta.
Wednesdays agreement in principle includes rights for TV, radio, mobile, online and international.
Because of college footballs widespread popularity and the incredible passion of its fans, few events are more meaningful than these games, ESPN President John Skipper said.

What a treat to read about your garden today. I am interested to hear about copper tape – not sure if they have that over here in Western Australia – I have slugs by the bucketful! I love the tomatoes in pots too. I have just sewn some spinach, radish and lettuce in polystyrene vegetable boxes – I used the compost from my Bokashi bucket mixed with ordinary potting mix so we shall see. It's an experiment. Enjoy your time in the garden – many people never use a spade at all as they use the no dig technique… Also those Yokes are sparkling away waiting for their turn in the big world. Can't wait…..
Tom is away, working in Ireland at the moment. I really miss him, but I am distracting myself by working very hard on my YOKES, and am enjoying pottering in the garden in my spare moments.
I cannot use a spade (I have tried, and I just fall over), and we knew there was going to be a limit to what I could feasibly do this Spring in the garden in Tom's absence. But with a couple of raised beds, a plastic lean-to, and many containers, I'm not doing so bad.
I brought salad leaves on in the lean-to, planted them out in a raised bed and have been amazed at how well they are doing. I don't want to speak too soon, but as yet they have remained mercifully unmolested by pests – the raised beds have a protective cordon of bark and copper tape, which has proved an effective slug deterrant. More remarkably, perhaps, the deer and rabbits have not yet taken the opportunity to chow down on my tasty crops. There are certainly rabbits and hares in abundance in our environs (I enjoy seeing the hares if I'm out on an early morning walk) but so far, there have been surprisingly few in our garden. My neighbours (who inform me that we are usually overrun with bunnies by this point in the Spring) think that Jesus (our cat) has something to do with it. He has been seen out on the prowl in the early hours, and kindly leaves headless rodents on my doorstep, as well as those of my neighbours, from time to time. If the rabbits are concerned that they or their offspring might meet the same fate, it is all to the good. But I have no idea how he is seeing off the deer.
Meanwhile, in my containers, the beans are doing their bean-thing. . .
.. . the cabbages are looking cabbage-y . . .
. . . beetroot is sprouting . . .
. . .and some tatties, which my dad and I planted rather late a couple of weeks ago, are starting to appear.
There will be fruit too – raspberries and strawberries.
. . . and there are tiny gooseberries on the tiny gooseberry bush!
Yesterday I took the squash and courgettes from the lean-to and planted them out in 10 litre pots to see how they do.
If I see a spare space in a container I pop in a petunia. . .
. . .and the back of the garden has presented me with other, unexpected floral delights.
But what I seem to have most of are tomatoes. I started growing them from seed in the bathroom several months ago and their flowers and trusses are now starting to appear.
The lean-to is now taken up with eight very vigorous tomato plants, and I have probably twice that number rotating in and around the house. My mum ventured yesterday evening that I might have grown too many tomatoes.
What do you think?
Please to note the housemartin, to the right of the photo, on its way to its nest under our eaves. Their nests are beautifully compact and sturdy and I love to hear them chit-chattering above my head when I'm sitting outside knitting at the back of the house. Last year, when the housemartins had finished with their nests, a few were occupied by late broods of swallows. Will that happen again this year?
Every day, in one way or another, I am grateful to be living here.

The problem film was loaded first, a few weeks ago. I just finished it that day then loaded the one that turned out ok.
I got a sick feeling when I read Matt's suggestion that I might have developed the wrong roll, but that wasn't it.
I must have somehow loaded the film wrong. Now I'm thinking I should check all 3 of the loaded magazines.

My local adidas outlet store was having a great sale on a variety of hoodies and sweatpants for $20 a piece, and among those items I found these amazing hoodies!! I was very pleased with how they looked and felt that I decided to buy 2 of them. I went for the navy blue/gray color and maroon. The fit is not tight but not insanely loose. There is enough room to move comfortably in it. I am 5'11" and I got size L in both. The length runs normal to my liking. I would highly recommend this product. It's well worth it! ... read more

Daybreaker Hoodie great material how ever the fit is slightly long. I usually wear a LARGE so went for a MEDIUM. When wearing the item the zip potrudes giving the impression that I have a large stomach (not good)! Its a better fit for taller individuals (I.E over 180 cm) It could do with an EXTRA ZIPPED POCKET at the back or side of the hoodie to store small items etc, also a pair of matching track bottoms would be ideal? ... read more

I wear this zip-up hoodie when I run my 5K's at night. It's really comfortable and light weight. It's warm and I like that I can adjust it as my run progresses and my body temp rises. Often I'll start my run on a chilly night with the front zipped all the way to the chin and the hood up and as I get hotter I flip back the hood and zip down to ventilate. It's a great looking sweater and I wear it casually around town in addition to running in it. I have the black/orange version of this same design and love that one too. ... read more

This is a really nice garment, I have nice slim legs but in the pictures it looked slightly baggy and not too tight so I took a chance and its a little bit too slim for my liking and I wonder about getting weird looks from friends but so far so good but it will take getting used to for me. It is very comfortable and flexible so perfect for training but I wouldn't wear this to the shops. ... read more

This boot is great for wide footed players, and the upper material stretches a bit and hugs around your feet really well! The upper is a little thicker and harder than the natural leather, but this boot has a great feel for shooting! I think natural leather with a softer material offers slightly better feel for first touch and dribbling the ball. The soleplate is a great option for playing on artificial grass by having shorter and rounded studs for better rotation and turning on the ground without locking your foot in place which can be dangerous on your knees. I think this boot will be better if the upper is a little softer and thinner! The upper is still an improvement from previous Adidas cleats. Overall, this is an awesome boot by Adidas! ... read more
I've always purchased and loved F50's. The X 15.1's are very comparable. They are more comfortable to wear - lock in the heel really well. The look great too. There's a really good feel on the ball and I like the stud pattern. Overall, very happy with these boots. Looking forward to more colours being released. ... read more
I bought last seasons Predators of Prodirect for a cut price deal as they were out of season. This was a mistake, they came up way too small. I am not entirely sure how Adidas measured their boots last season, but Im pretty sure it was incorrect. To be honest though, the mistakes of last season are no more, and after stumping up a bit of extra cash to replace the Predators, the new Ace 15.1 have been a delight.

Then last week, checked a pair of Lillard 1 on one of adidas' outlet stores here, outlet or factory stores are fine by the way, tried and compared Lillard's Made in March and Weber State sizes 10 and 10.5, then came into conclusion that I'll go with size 10 on Lillard's. Now that the Ballin Deads are here, I'll skip Drose 6 for the time being because Im waiting, if ever, for the Chicago Ice version of Drose 6, I'll surely buy Lillard's Halloween shoes next week because they are super dope! Great concept, you all at adidas. Keep it up. ... read more
I bought the red Adidas Tubular X yesterday at Foot Locker and there so beautiful! Here is a list of personal pros and cons about these sneakers. PROS -They are Adidas, whats not to love about them! Adidas are just amazing. -They are high-tops, my favorite kind of sneakers. Very comfortable, smooth leather on the inside, due to the way the sneaker is made its easy to take off but wont fall of when you have them on. -These sneakers will not crease! Nothing I hate more than wearing shoes and they get an unattractive crease. You wont have to worry about that with these. - They are called sneakers but I consider them boots. When you put these on, you will feel as if your kicks are 5x stronger. There is a powerful presence about these shoes. - You will get good looks from other people, they are eye catchers. CONS -Not really a con, but it is a bit awkward on where to laces after you tie them.I tie my laces then I tuck them but these are different. You can put them behind the "X". ... read more
I'm a college student and athlete and I'm always on my feet. Whether it's walking to class, working out in the gym, or going for a run, these shoes are great. I especially love running in them, It just feels incredible. They shipped really quick, which I love! I wear size 12 in other brands and 12 fit really well for me with these, so stay true to size. If you're thinking about buying them, do it! These shoes are well worth it in my opinion. The material of the shoe is very high quality and I don't think you'll be disappointed. They are durable and dirt doesn't really show on the shoe too much. I got the all black version and they look great with anything. Over all, Adidas did something amazing when they made these. ... read more
Ive had this hoodie in both small and medium. Because of my particular size--38inch chest, 170lbs/70kg, 5'10"/177cm, 30inch waist--I'm right between the sizes which Adidas tailors small and medium. Fair enough, they tailor to stereotypical measurements of a global market. The problem is, every item is now made of some synthetic which neither expands with wear or shrinks with washing and drying so I either have to wear this hoodie too tight or too baggy. I prefer slightly tight, but the material being quite thin and delicate to make it climalite, my size small tore where the bottom of the pockets meet the side panels when just tugged at while running. Another factor of the thin, pseudo-cotton material is that if it doesnt specifically fit one's measurements it sags over the body in an unflattering way; or, I suppose, it can accomodate a beer belly. It's a shame because the hoodie is a tasteful colour with a stand up collar, both rare in basic hoodies. At any rate I'm glad Adidas seems to be reintroducing more cotton blends in their other hoodies--what they lack in alleged breathability they make up for in durability and in the ability to fit to ones size through wear or washing. ... read more
I picked these shoes up for just $55.99. This was a steal consider they were a $100. These shoes are great for running and they simply feel great. This is the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I use these shoes for track and they are great for that. So all in all I recommend this shoe very much and you won't regret buying them ... read more

The boots come up slightly smaller than usual. I am a standard UK8.5 /adidas 9, but had to take a 9.5. That aside, the boots are the usual high quality finish and look. Really enjoy the feel and comfort of the fit. Highly recommend the boots. ... read more
A nice wide boot which is comfort to wear from the box and does not need much break in time. A good feel with the ball and they are light but a quality feel to them. Would recommend the orange pair over the green as the back of the boot gets black marks from the AF ground or other boots making contact and once on the green the marks seem impossible to remove. ... read more
Upon receiving this shoe in the mail and unboxing it, the shoe's claim to fame was proven: It is very light. To summarize the shoe's performance, the traction on the shoe is rather decent (occasionally picking up dust, needing to be wiped every 15 minutes) , but unfit for outdoor use and unsustainable for long-time wear. The shoe's conformation to the foot is one of the shoe's best features as it helps to create an almost sock-like feel. The Boost in the heel has a very good feel when landing, but is not countered by the forefoot cushioning as Adidas continues to disappoint with its Adiprene cushioning. I would suggest implementing the Boost throughout the whole plantar region of the shoe providing a fully functional cushioning system that allows no room for complaint. To me, the sizing feels true-to-fit and pleasurable. ... read more

AHS Ladycats vs. Springtown at Aledo;
Varsity, 6:30 p.m.
JV, 5 p.m.
9th, 5 p.m.
Shown are (from left) Johnny Campbell, Steve Bartley, Bobby J. Rigues, Joe Dearing, Daniel, Hoyt Harris, David Davis and Jay Stringer.
Members of the Aledo ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously to name the Aledo High School Ninth Grade Center in honor of retiring Superintendent Don Daniel. In introducing the subject, School Board President Joe Dearing said there is no better way to honor an educator than to name a school after him.
"Mr. Daniel has served this district well," Dearing said. David Davis made the motion to re-name the ninth-grade center, and the trustees unanimously approved.
In receiving the honor, Daniel said there was no greater honor. Looking back at his youthful aspiration to play baseball, Daniel said it would be like being named MVP of the World Series.
A reception in Daniel's honor is being held today at 4:30 in the Ninth Grade Center Cafeteria.
During the meeting, trustees also hired a new Chief Financial Officer, promoted Middle School Principal Kathy Allen to Executive Director of Curriculum, and hired a new principal for Vandagriff Elementary School.
More specifics can be found in the May 20 issue of The Community News.

best episode since S4. I like my chair flirty, which is exactly what this episode gave us. a little annoyed though-was dair just a tool to stall chair? (the ILY was super bland!) if so, the past 6 episodes were just filler. i wish every episode this season was more like 5x22. glad that they're finishing strong though... i have a feeling that the big finish referenced in the promo is a very special engagement. super romantic!
3. You also see romantic ambiguity with Nate. First he was with Diana. Then Ivy. Then back to Diana. Now Lola. And who knows, he may go back to Diana. 4. Of course Lily and Rufus will make it. I'm happy the writers finally found a story for them. 6. Nate needs to learn to pick a girl and stick with her. 7. When B is spending too much time with C, I hope D gets revenge by hitting it with G - for old time's sake. 8. Yes. He also needs a sandwich. D used to be crush worthy. Now I gag every time that anorexic frizzbomb comes on screen.
1. I adored how Nate stuck up for Chuck (when Dan accused Chuck of having an ulterior motive to pay the dowry). "No, I think he was just trying to do something nice for Blair." At least one NJBC friendship is thriving! 2. Chuck Bass is finally growing up. I recently watched scenes from late S4, and wow. That man has come a LONG way. Bravo, writers, you did something right. I just wish Chuck's story received more screen time. Hopefully it will soon! 3. The theme of "romantic ambiguity" is driving me crazy. Blair's romantic choices throughout this whole season are constantly left unexplained. Why did she suddenly decide she was still in love with chuck in 5x10 after pushing him away for so long? How did Blair go so quickly from "being in love" with Louis to the relationship being "strictly business" in 5x14? When did Blair exactly stop seeing Dan as a friend? When did Blair fall out of love with Chuck? Why is Blair so horrible to Chuck, even though he did nothing wrong? Someone help me out! Nate has had a similar pattern to Blair. He liked Diana, then Ivy, then back to Diana, and now Lola. And who knows, he may hook up with Diana again.

BREWSTER — The state plans to widen the side of the road for cyclists and double the sidewalks along this town's stretch's of Route 6A, which has long been dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians.
Brewster officials have been among the most vocal on the Cape in their attempts to improve safety during Sunday's Pan-Mass Challenge and other bike events.
The state Department of Transportation has planned a $6 million repair of Brewster's 8-mile stretch of Route 6A including repaving of 6A and repair of existing sidewalks The state will do major drainage repair to stop frequent flooding of the road, nearby homes and businesses, said Brewster Town Administrator Charles Sumner.
Significant road improvements are scheduled to begin this fall with the replacement of town water pipes and National Grid gas pipelines but completion may be two years away, said Brewster Police Chief Richard Koch.
The length of sidewalks will be about doubled, Koch said. In some parts of the street, there are currently no sidewalks, and in many other spots only one side of Route 6A has sidewalks.
New sidewalks will go from Drummer Boy Park to the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History. Plans also include reducing the width of the driving lanes by one foot on each side by moving the white line inward. This should give cyclists more room, Koch said.
He hopes the road reconfiguration can achieve a 3-foot path on either side for cyclists in some areas, although it won't technically be wide enough to be called a bike lane.
"A lot of this will need to be determined in the field," he said,
Route 6A is the town's main thoroughfare, and the only access point to many neighborhoods and businesses.
Bicyclists love the shady street but it can be dangerous.
Last year, Padraig Schaler, 23, was riding his bike near the Bramble Inn on Route 6A in Brewster when he turned in front of a van driven by Mark Couto, 52, of Brewster, according to the police report. The police found that Couto was not at fault.
Schaler is currently a patient at the neurological unit of the Schon Clinic in Germany, which specializes in traumatic brain injuries, according to a civil suit filed in U.S. District Court by Schaler's parents against Couto.

Tell Fonterra to stop importing palm kernel for the further industrialisation of New Zealand dairying.

I am implementing BASIC authontication mechanism. Seems when the timeout is met I can not login. Should
prompt reprompt with login dialog automatically? I will expect so. How can I force that, now user has to close the browser and restart.

I think this is what you're experiencing:
1) BASIC AUTH is protecting your site, so you are prompted by the browser for a login.
2) the AUTH mechanism logs you in, and your browser will now send your authentication token as a header, with each request.
3) once authenticated, your pages can be accessed in an authenticated, but otherwise 'regular' way, and an HttpSession is created by Tomcat.
4) Go away from the PC for a long enough time, and your HttpSession has expired, but your BASIC AUTH header has not.
I think you'll probably have to match the HttpSession expiry behaviour with that of the authentication method you've chosen. BASIC AUTH does not 'expire' until you close the browser window. So you'll need to make your session last at least this long; this will mean "indefinitely".
There is a <session-timeout> element in web.xml that you can set to -1, meaning "will not expire" (until the browser window closes).

This is what I am doing currently:
I set session time out to 1 minute in web.xml via <session-config> tag.
In my
i check if timeout occurred using if newsession(). If it is not a new seesion (i.e. timeout met, session invalidated) I want to re-prompt for login. I am using BASIC authon. It works fine prompts user for login at initial and after 1 minute I leave the PC alone and click my submit button (where I have code to check newsession) the timeout is detected I can see from my coded alert there. I want to send a message to user that session invalidated and then BASIC authon. should send its internal login winodw for user to re-login. Is this doable or I am expecting too much from BASIC?

You're expecting too much from BASIC, I think. Because in your mind, you're relating the
HttpSession object with an HTTP BASIC AUTH token that is sent in the Header, by your browser.
That your server-side Session object has expired, has nothing to do with your client-side Authentication header. The only way to "un-authenticate" or "expire" this token is to close the browser.
Hmm..... that I know of. Perhaps there *is* a way.
I agree. Here's the link:

I have a 25% hosting discount just for you, and it includes two premium WordPress themes! It's hosting plus premium freebies that you won't see just about anywhere!
Blogging is a lucrative job (or hobby!) and people are starting to realize this. But blogging using free services won't really make you earn hundreds to thousands of dollars monthly! You need something more professional, you need a self-hosted blog (like my site!).
You don't know how to setup a WordPress blog? Well, I will teach you!
Hosting Discount Plus 2 Premium WordPress Themes
If you sign up on HostGator using my coupon code: onefourthoffmybill, you will receive a one-time 25% discount on your total bill. I will also give you two premium WordPress themes of your choosing from a gallery of over 80 premium WordPress themes. Wow!
[alert type="success"]
Instead of $106.66 per year you can have it for $77.55 on your first bill! Not only that, you also get 2 Premium WordPress themes valued at $35 each!
Great deal? Ready to create your blog now?
Here's a short video guide to help you create a WordPress blog in less than 5 minutes. If this video is not enough, contact me and I will help you setup everything!
Again, if you sign up using my coupon code: onefourthoffmybill, I will give you two premium WordPress themes (valued at $35 each!). Just contact me once you've signed up on HostGator and I'll send you the files!
Want Free WordPress themes and Recommended Plugins? Visit www.buildawebsite2013.com!
Why should I pay to have a blog?
The first thing you need to do is ask yourself, "do I really need one?"
There are free plans out there, you can use WordPress.com, Blogger.com, Weebly, and hundred more. You don't need to pay for anything, you can basically start from zero to riches.
Let me tell you this, there are three reasons why you need to have your own blog, under your very own domain.
- It is more professional – if you want to build a career out of it then always pay, it will only cost you less than $25 to get started. You get to have your own email address too. I will tell you more about this later. I will teach you how to build your very first website even without prior knowledge of it, all under $20. I promise.
- You have total control over it – all free website services have very limited features. Very limited designs to choose from, some won't even let you place ads on your site, they don't allow you to add special features that your service needs.
- Your own domain, your brand. If you start with, say, www.yourdomain.wordpress.com and it becomes popular, it will be quite a task to transfer everything to www.yourdomain.com. There are tools that can help you export your site's content to a new server, but once people get familiar with your original website and you decide to transfer to a self-hosted solution, your traffic will drop, including your page rank on Google. Which is always bad for business, since you will basically start again.
Now that you know how to build a blog, have you decided already?.

This is one of my first brushes ever from MAC. I actually got it because a family friend had given us a gift back from MAC way back in the day. All the colours in the gift basket were red and no one in the family used red. So we brought the basket to the MAC counter, explained out situation, and they let me choose anything that equated in value. I didn't know what to get since I was still in high school at the time. The MUA there suggested the 239 brush. At the time, I didn't know what it was nor did I know what it did.
Well years later, this brush has become an essential. When I used to use mineral foundation, I would use this brush as a concealer brush...to pack on the powder to any acne marks or blemishes. Now that I use a different foundation and concealer, I use this brush strictly for eyeshadow...when I wear it. This packs on pigment incredibly and any eyeshadow colour to give you the vibrant look. There is no waste when using this brush aka minimal fallout.

I use this brush a lot. It works great for packing on color on my lid. I love all the white brushes from the whole MAC collection. The quality is outstanding, it's firm yet soft.

Great for packing on bright/intense colors on the lid, then lightly blending it up, especially on smaller Asian eyelids like mine. Super soft, easy to use.

I love this brush. It's one of my favourites, and great quality like all MAC brushes. It's the best brush I own for packing on colour. If I could only pick one MAC eye brush I think it'd be this one. (Though I'd miss the 224.)

I'd like to think this is like the HG brushes but its not. I bought this brush after i pruchased my 217 and I'd like to also think that if I bought the 239 first it would be my HG brush. It can pack on colour, and yes its a great quality brush, but really and truely its not really versatile. Don't get me wrong, I still think everyone should have one, and I also think its preformance is superb. However, in the long run how good is it really? Just 4 lippies good.

This seems to be a staple in every makeup addict's stash, so I went ahead and purchased it. First off, this is remarkably similar to Loew & Cornell's Maxine's mop brushes. I think the L & C brush is a little harder, and the handles are a bit longer, but that is it. This brush is good for packing on a dense layer of colour on your lids, if you "pat" the colour on instead of swiping it. It also allows for a precise application using the tips alone. However, I find that overall the brush is quite stiff, and it is thus not very forgiving if you misplace some dark colours. I prefer the 217 over this one and will probably not repurchase because I already have this and two of the L & C dupes.

I too got this from the HK collection and it works very well to pack color on my lid, and I know that if it were the normal one, not from the HK collection it would be even better, because this little one is already pretty great, so if it were ever to get lost or broken ;-( then I would most definitely get one, but for the time being this little puppy is good stuff!

Honestly, other than the dorky little sponge tip applicators inside drugstore eye shadows, I had no real idea how these brushes are supposed to work. I gave it a 4 because it worked out well and a whole lot better than teh sponge tips. Although I do like the 217 better because it seems I can do the same things this one can, plus blend out a smoke eye.

I got the special edition from the Hello Kitty brush and holder set...and will now be purchasing the real size 239. I love how it easily packs on color on the lids. I see why it's a must have MAC brush :)

I have a bunch of MAC eyeshadow brushes, but this one is probably my favorite. I use it for applying color to my lid. It's quite good at packing on the color. I especially like it for applying pigments because it seems to minimize fall-out. Great brush.
