Not sure which category to put this in, but...I had a thought I'd like to share with you lovely people. So I'm both interested in and rather uninformed about crowd/cloud sourcing/funding or whatever the proper term is. I'm familiar with things like KIVA from some charity work I did in the past, and things like the Polymath wiki as well as the Brainmap and Cognitive Atlas projects that are trying to use the power of the interweb to do interesting things like making meta-analyses (what's the plural?) easier or construct a universal 'cognitive ontology', as you do. My thought was, is there anything on the web for the purpose of crowd funding science? I mean in terms of offering an alternative funding track to professional researchers. If such a thing was viable, in my head it might:a) Make not-for-profit science more of a possibility – ie: you often hear that big pharma only researches or funds medicines if there's money in it. Or, what about charities or interest groups that could use a specific piece of research. Or, what about using GM to make things that are there just to help, without profit controls like ensuring the organisms are sterile. This is a concern for me, cos I believe justifying the economic benefit from research is becoming an issue in many countries.b) Where's my jetpack – what if pie-in-the-sky crazy research wasn't just the preserve of DARPA or whatever?Being only a wee scientist in training, and being mildly techno-illiterate, my question to you, fair whitechapel, is this:a) Does this exist?b) Do you know of any discussion/examples of like ideas?c) Would it work? Technically? Legally? Practically?.....d) Would you donate your pocket change to a research idea you thought was kick ass?]]> Kickstarter for science? http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9892&Focus=295727#Comment_295727 2011-05-25T05:50:58-05:00 2015-12-01T21:23:46-06:00 Nygaard http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=431 That is a Brilliant Idea.

No idea of the practicality; I know that a Norwegian PhD, assuming a university or college provides facilities and office space, costs about 370 000 NOK a year to keep well fed and happy; that's about 47 000 euro for a full Year of Science. A university will usually be happy to accept self-financing PhD's with a good project. Currently looking into it, as I'm considering doing one at some point in 2012. But self-financing is unlikely to be an option unless I could find a way to make the Internet into An Rich Uncle.So, if anyone wants me to spend three years writing a book on the Ideological History of Stupidity, you know where to send your 150 000 euros.]]> Kickstarter for science? http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9892&Focus=295728#Comment_295728 2011-05-25T06:03:46-05:00 2015-12-01T21:23:46-06:00 Rex Nihilo http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=10381 Hmm, my original hazy idea was qualified research projects...Funding PHDs was not something I'd thought of, but if anything its probably more viable than the general idea. thanky very much...

That said, dear old uncle ended up blowing most of the cash on booze, having spent about three afternoons "testing" (re: being cruel to other peoples' pets).... which is probably why a lot of the time people with legit research plans might have trouble getting (any/enough) funding, because of people like my uncle rorting the system.One possibility might be to make a website for your idea and then to publicise it on popular science forums to see if you have anyone who wants to have a "share" in the credit for getting research off the ground? Sort of like "adopting" a zoo animal, you could phrase it like "adopting" a research project.

This being the internet I worry(and laugh) that the projects that "won" would be incredibly stupid and/or evil (lots of things involving penis, nazis and/or anime). I'd also worry more about the credentials of the people involved than with something like Kickstarter. I wouldn't want to fund unscrupulous people access to chemicals or equipment that they could abuse. Some level of curation might be necessary.I dunno if you want 100s of competing projects taking slices out of the pie. Maybe if the members of the website voted on what project(s) to fund at the moment? Give people bumper stickers, buttons, etc. for even becoming members? That could make it feel like a charity. Possibly market it as an evil science club (give out monocles? ), but that starts getting dude centric, I think.Last thing, off the top of my head, targeting youth might be a much more feasible idea. Smaller amount of money needed, encourage kids that might not have the funds to experiment and hopefully you get some novel experiment ideas too.]]> Kickstarter for science? http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9892&Focus=295789#Comment_295789 2011-05-25T22:51:33-05:00 2015-12-01T21:23:46-06:00 buhbuhcuh http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=10234 I think that this is a great seed for an idea. I think you will find that when it comes to money, however, most people are selfish, greedy bastards. I mean that in the best way possible. People ... Kickstarter's biggest successes are due to the weird inversion of the consumer supply chain it enables. It allows you to buy stuff that doesn't exist yet, and won't exist unless there is a proven demand for it. When you put money into a kickstarter project, you do so with the intent of getting something out of it. Often, these are real, tangible goods.Now, everyone here knows that when you fund science, you are getting something out of it. Usually though, it's not very tangible. Rice that is GM engineered to yield more grain per acre might help with world hunger, help fight poverty, and promote world peace - but those of us in the first world who have the money to fund these projects won't see much in the way of direct benefit. Unfortunately, real science is slow and built around unknowns. We are constantly seeing improvements because of it, but researchers are never sure what will come of their work - that's why they are researching. They often have goals, but to offer rewards on untested hypothesis would be pretty silly. So, what can they offer that an interneteer with some spare cash would pay for? brainstorming a bit:educationaccess to research - see open source sciencesilly tshirts - I wore my "Chemists get Reactions" tshirt for years.naming rights/credits/first use rightsold/broken/useless lab equipmentwhat else?]]> Kickstarter for science? http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9892&Focus=295795#Comment_295795 2011-05-25T23:24:19-05:00 2015-12-01T21:23:46-06:00 oddbill http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=4272 This thread is zeroing in on what is probably the biggest challenge in framing an idea like this within web culture: actual science is slow, tedious, undramatic, largely invisible and usually returns ...

My other ... @ Oddcult – heh, I did type it into the address bar, and got some randomer's blog. My other thought was 'MySci' but apparently that's some kind of Google answers type set up. The-I-in-sci, anyone?@Erisah – I'm not sure if by 'your idea' in your last paragraph you mean my idea, crowdfunded science, or 'your idea' as in the putative projects that might be funded through such a thing. In the former case, I seem to be able to come up with scenarios that sound plausible once they're off the ground, but how to get started? Something like your suggesting is definitely something i'll try if I manage to develop the idea, and is why I posted here in the first place – I think this is something that should exist, I don't care if it's me that does it. If it's the latter – you mean like a posting board for people to float ideas? I like the 'adopting' angle, and tapping into pre-existing interest groups seems like a must, along with incentivising as the other posts suggest. @Jonah - I worry (and laugh, too) about similar things. On the one hand, making the 'pot' potentially open to anyone means you tap into (potentially) subgroups that could make something like this work, such as DIYbio, tranhumanism, grinders etc. On the other hand – how do you control (and should you control) – the worth/ legality/ impact of the kind of stuff that might be suggested and even funded. Maybe there needs to be some kind of quality control – some kind of clearing board such as a peer review committee/ community voting process/ autocratic yes/no....each of which comes with its own headaches, barriers etc. Having a central pot, that the community allocates, is something I like, but then does it just become a science charity? I like the idea of being to give money into a central pot, or a pot for a whole discipline or research area which is allocated by vote/peers/committee or whatever......plus the free for all where everyone can pitch any ideas they like. Obviously that doesn't solve any problems though, just multiplies them... @jonah & buhbuhcuh & oddbill – sexification and incentivisation – possibly the most crucial and most hazy part of the whole concept. In my mind, I think the open science and the credting angle could work to a limited extent – ie: if it's on this site, its gotta be open science, and and donations earn you a credit, which you can show to all your friends because the science is published openly not in a subscription. Likewise – there is a least a partial market for the geek factor of having a star/gene/GMO named after you, owning a piece of mars etc. But supposing you got the numbers it would take to make something like this work – you obviously can't credit them all like that, and the opportunity to vote on the name probably isn't tangible enough. The participatory bit is particularly difficult. Thinking out loud - what if you didn't only donate, but could 'follow' the research – the more other people you got to donate or follow, the bigger chunk of the general 'pot' your adopted project got, or the best 'follower' got the star/gene/rocketship named after them? Still, probably not tangible enough...]]> Kickstarter for science? http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9892&Focus=298625#Comment_298625 2011-06-19T13:04:25-05:00 2015-12-01T21:23:46-06:00 Jamie Coville http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=616 This could would if it were a little more like kickstarter.

County native new head coach at DeshlerPublished 5:59am Wednesday, July 18, 2012
DESHLER —Basketball has taken Brian Pounders around the world, but now it has brought him back a little closer to home.
Pounders, a 1998 Belgreen graduate, was hired Monday as the new head boys basketball coach at Deshler High School in Tuscumbia.
He had been assistant coach and head junior varsity coach for three years at 6A Gardendale. He also spent three seasons as an assistant at Montevallo University.
Pounders, who prepped for his father, Steve, was a star athlete on the basketball court and as a member of the school's track team before playing two years at Northwest-Shoals Community College. During his time at NW-SCC, the Patriots won the state junior college tournament.
He was later a manager and graduate student under former head coach Mark Gottfried at the University of Alabama, where he was part of one SEC championship team and another that reached the Elite 8 of the NCAA tournament.
Before moving to Montevallo, Pounders was a graduate assistant at the Univeristy of North Alabama.
"I have coached high school and in college, and I count those years together," he said.
"For four years I was a graduate assistant and graduate manager at the University of Alabama, one year at UNA and for three years as an assistant at the University of Montevallo. I'd say 11 in all."
Though the world of college basketball took him to places like Madison Square Garden, Rupp Arena and the Georgia Dome, there is certainly no area that he feels more at home.
"North Alabama is my home," Pounders said.
"I grew up here, my family is here and I love this area. The Deshler job, being such a rich tradition program and school, was just a perfect fit for me. I have always followed the program from afar and knew what their expectations were and I am excited to be a part of contining that tradition."
He said that while the boy's basketball team at Deshler lacks some things, they make up for it in other areas of the game.
"We're going to hopefully play as hard as we can," he said. "We're not going to be very big. We're small, but we're athletic. We're also going to be pretty strong.
"We're going to try to run up and down the floor, be aggressive on defense with a lot of man-to-man and trapping, we're going to try to press a lot and speed up the tempo of the game into our favor.
"We want to keep it out of a slow pace half-court situation, that way we can use our athleticism to our advantage."
Having a father who has as much basketball coaching experience as Pounders does can be a real advantage as well, especially if all goes according to his plan.
"I want [my dad] to come up and help me," Pounders said. "He's going to be an assistant working with me, and I know he's going to be dabbling some in real estate.
"He's won a lot of games and taken six teams to the Final Four, so I need to use that expertise at my disposal, and he already said he would.
"That could be very beneficial for me, and I think that's something he would enjoy as well."
Pounders will be an assistant football coach for the Tigers this fall.

I can not complain. They did very well and accommodated me even after the wedding
DJ with The ProsReviewed on 8/24/2014 Katerina H
Our DJ was fantastic!!! We had Charles and he did great. He called me to make sure he pronounced our name correctly and had every song we requested. He had people on the dance floor the whole time. He was early and ready to go whenever we needed. We were running a little ahead... Read More of time and he was flexible with that. We couldn't have asked for anyone better for our wedding. He communicated the whole time about how we were feeling and how things were going. It was great.
The Pros PhotographyReviewed on 3/23/2014 Mari R
Our pictures turned out pretty great, but our photographer was a bit abrasive and rubbed several guests the wrong way. Other than that, it was a great deal.
Amazing pictures!Reviewed on 6/24/2013 Alison D
Cassie was my photographer and she did a wonderful job. She made us feel so comfortable and calm throughout the whole process. Everyone at the wedding loved her and she did a great job catching all of the wonderful candid moments that were so important to me. Not only do I... Read More recommend the pros, but I highly recommend booking Cassie if you live in Southeastern Michigan.
Great DJ!Reviewed on 6/04/2013 Katie G
We had Chris, a great DJ who was able to read the crowd and know exactly what they want! Definitely recommend him!
Convenient but....Reviewed on 5/19/2013 Rachel T
I used the pros for both my photographer and DJ. It was convenient to have one person to communicate with, but I found the quality of both to be slightly lacking. The photographer did a fair job, but her focus didn't work during the ceremony then "suddenly turned back on." I... Read More felt that she probably should have had a back up camera. She was nice and tried to be accommodating, I just wasn't overly impressed with all the photos. The DJ was horrible. We asked for Frank Sinatra to be played during dinner and he played loud 80's music. During dinner he came up the the sweetheart table to talk to us about how my husband had put the wrong artist for one of the songs on our song list. He then continued to go on and on about his swing dancing. I didn't really find it appropriate that he was badgering the bride and groom instead of DJing. He then played the wrong song for the bouquet toss, so I went up and asked him to play the song that had been on my list to which he replied, "I already played that. Maybe if you had been inside earlier instead of talking to guests you would have the right song." I got lectured by a swing-dancing DJ on my wedding day. Do yourself a favor, spend a little more time finding a good DJ and don't waste your money on the Pros. If you do, don't pick Mitch as your DJ.
Mike KReviewed on 4/01/2013 Sarah B
I was and am still 100% blown away by Mike K with the pros as my DJ. The music/experience for the price is amazing.
GREAT photographers, but missed a lot of picturesReviewed on 12/27/2012 aubrey d
One of our photographers canceled the morning of and the replacement came 2 hours later (not his fault) and those 2 hours were set aside specifically for posed pictures. MY husband and I do not have prep photos or photos with our parents or with our wedding party individually.... Read More We luckily were able to get group shots later on but we're disappointed we wont have those. It also took a little back and forth before we came to a settlement. The photographers were wonderful.
"She Was Everywhere"Reviewed on 11/28/2012 Kimberly P
Using The Pros to select our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. We selected Edith W. and she was a perfect match for us. Her personality matched ours and our guests enjoyed her as well. Now that we are looking through all of the photos, we realized... Read More that she was in places we had no idea she was. The pictures are great. The Pros allow you to review profiles of their professionals and you get to see their work. They even let you correspond back and forth with many of the "pros" while you ponder your options. There is no pressure throughout the process and they do everything to make sure you get the photos that you want. I must say that I am a tiny bit disappointed because out of all of the pictures, there is one shot that she didn't get--if I had it to do over again, I would spring for the extra money to have the 2nd photographer because it is close to impossible for one person to get every shot.
I loved my photographerReviewed on 8/21/2012 Mandy T
Finding a photographer is a HUGE part of planning your wedding. When the day is done you will always have the pictures to reflect on. The Pros set me up with a wonderful photographer. Melissa did both our engagement photo shoot and our wedding. I was very pleased.
A matter of luckReviewed on 8/06/2012 Ana C
The company is the worst. It takes forever to get your pictures, but you might get lucky with a good photographer...
Great DJ, Poor CompanyReviewed on 6/05/2012 Alesha A
I have to give this three stars because the DJ himself was fantastic. Dave H. (who is now on his own) was wonderful. Really kept the music going, got the crowd involved, and kept things moving at the reception. He was interactive and funny. The Pros, however, I felt in every... Read More aspect just wanted to take my money. It was not personal, not service oriented, and sometimes they were even rude, when asking questions. When I booked the service, I was hearded into a room with about 30 or so other brides, sat through a few presentations, got to talk to the DJ for a few minutes, filled out a paper on my own (which apparently I did incorrectly) and wrote them a check. I was promised free services for attending this 2 hour shindig and then barely received anything. It took reworking the contract (because no one went over the paperwork with me) and arguing about the free services to get one little gratuitous service for my day. Later on in the process didn't get any better. The DJ's don't contact you until the week of the wedding and it is only by e-mail or telephone. You are expected to fill out a survey online to tell them what you want on your big day. To me filling out a survey online is not personalized service and does not effectively communicate what you wish to happen. I would try to find another vendor for your DJ if you can. Not worth the headache!
The Pro's were great for our needs!Reviewed on 10/25/2011 Julie S
We used The Pro's for photography and DJ, and the service was exactly what we wanted! The photographer was as nice and friendly as can be, photos turned out great, and the DJ did an excellent job as well.

text: It works quite well. Only problem is that I find it affects the finish of the paper in a way that makes judging tones tricky. Ilford's Warmtone comes out much shinier from the microwave than when air dried, for example -- but then, I really zap the thing. Cooking it slower may solve the problem.

I was once again binge watching Youtube and saw rave reviews on the original "Pacific Blue" SH d/c/ polish.
I went out to see if I could find a bottle and I did. I also found other hues in the original formula, and purchased those as well. I got some winners, but this is not one of them.
Coral Reef is as disappointing as Mellow Yellow and Mint Sorbet. The color is a bright, hot pink/coral, pretty but, nothing unique.
The formula is terribly thick, streaky and a chore to apply and it chipped like crazy.

I really loved this color in the bottle. But boy does this stuff suck consistency wise. It goes on super thick but super streaky. I tried this polish multiple ways but it just wasn't working.

Gorgeous orange-leaning coral. To those saying it's too thick or goopy, up your nail game and put in a few drops of thinner or even a few drops of rubbing alcohol. There. Problem solved. I can't stand products getting poor reviews when anyone worth her salt could solve the "problem" easily.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
GORGEOUS coral pink color! Super bright and intense! It survived me washing rice & doing dishes for 3 days, which is amazing lol...
The formula sucks. It's thick, goopy, and applies unevenly. This is the 3rd Xtreme formula polish that I've bought. Takes some work, so If you have the patience to try to get an even, non-streaky opaque coat, you will love it.
There are MUCH better formulas with similar colors, so I will not be repurchasing this line.
Age: 19-24

Such a beautiful coral. Bright salmon pink looks amazing on my pale cool tone skin

Skin: Combination, Olive, Not Sure

the color is beautiful, but the formula sux. I have never had so much trouble getting a nail polish even. it was thick, yet streaky. Once it finally dried (I had to put it on really thick to get it even) it looked nice, but def not happy with the consistency!
Age: 36-43
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
My perfect coral. This is a pink coral and bright. I have a hard time with corals because I am cool toned. This doesn't make me look weird or look orange. It looks more pinky coral on me which I love.
I get a lot of people asking what this is when I wear it, so that's good being cool toned. Formula is opaque in nearly one coat and not streaky. Long wear and smooth. LOVE this line.
Age: 25-29

Love this line from Sally Hansen. Great value and quality.coral reef is one of my favorites. It's a bright color.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Very Oily, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Blue
So coral is my favorite colour in nail polishes and I own a lot different ones all different brands. This is hands down my absolute favorite coral nail polish that I own. I think everyone has their own shade of coral that they like the most and I definitely like the corals that have more of a pink tone to them. This nail polish the absolutely most perfect shade of coral for me!
The formula is so opaque and goes on super smooth. You could easily get away with one coat of these but I like to add two just to make sure everything is covered well and even. A lot of people don't see to like the brush of these nail polishes but I think its great and covers really well. The lasting power is also really great and with a top coat stays on my nails for a week or more (on my toes even longer). I LOVE this as a pedicure...its my favorite all year round and especially in summer (I hardly wear socks so my toes are always painted and visible). I would definitely recommend this to someone who's looking for a good quality coral nail polish that is more on the pink side. I will definitely repurchase this when I finish up the bottle and will always have it in my collection! Definitely holy grail! :)

S1Digital's P500 May be First Media Center to Output Lossless Blu-ray Audio
S1Digital, P500 Media Center with Blu-ray player, up to four Cablecard tuners, RAID 5 (2 TB usable), RS-232 and Soundpack option featuring Asus's Xonar HDAV1.3 A/V card
The unit – part of S1Digitals' ProLine Series -- is stripped of junkware, optimized for whole-house entertainment, and may be the first Media Center to implement Asus's highly anticipated Xonar HDAV1.3 sound and video card.
"Apparently, we're going to be the first Media Center company to offer it [Xonar HDAV1.3] with a 10-foot user interface," says Heitlinger. "We're working with [Asus partner] Arcsoft on getting it completed."
ASUS claims the HDAV1.3 is the world's first HDMI 1.3a compliant audio/video enhancement combo card. While it apparently "enhances video with an onboard Splendid HD processor," the card's real claim to fame is on the audio side.
The HDAV1.3 supports Blu-ray's two big content protection schemes -- Protected Audio Playback System (PAPS) and Advanced Access Content System (AACS) -- so it can output
Learn more about Media Center at Media Center University, exclusively at the Electronic House Expo, March 11-14, 2009 in Orlando, Fla. Check out the complete MCU agenda here. Media Center University is sponsored by the Media Center Integrator Alliance (MCIA).
S1Digital's implementation of the HDAV1.3 is called Soundpack, offered as an option for the P500.
Soundpack enables bitstreaming the latest HD audio formats on Blu-ray discs. "This means the P500 can take full advantage of lossless digital audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio," Heitlinger says.
The P500 is available with up to four CableCard HDTV tuners plus an unencrypted QAM/ATSC tuner, Blu-ray player with Profile 2.0 features, movie archiving capabilities, and three terabytes (2TB usable) of internal RAID-5 storage. It supports HDMI (with 5.1 channel audio), DVI and component video outputs as well as digital optical and 7.1 channel analog audio.
The machine is powered by Intel's latest Core 2 Duo CPU, P45 motherboard and runs Vista Ultimate.
RS-232 control is available via a built in serial port – great for integrating with those home-control systems that still communicate the old-fashioned way.
All this … and it looks good too.
"The P500 was designed from the ground up to look great out on display," Heitlinger says.
He adds that the unit is "primarily designed for the living room," but it does support up to three zones of streaming audio and video via Media Center Extenders or additional Media Centers.
Do you want the P500 but you'd rather wait for Windows 7? Not to worry, S1Digital is offering free upgrades for its XP Media Centers purchased between Jan. 20 and March 31, 2009.
The S1Digital P500 starts at around $5,999.
NOTE: Derek Flickinger (surprise, surprise) suggested that the technology in question delivers lossless audio, but not uncompressed audio. S1Digital's Paul Heitlinger confirms. The files may be compressed but all of the original data in the recording remains.

Too late Axonix already announced this at ISE last week. It is called the ProPlayer. It already supports the ASUS card and in a 2U Chassis.
However, it is not Media Center based.
Too bad S1 blatantly ripped off Parasound's distinctive Halo design. It raises big questions about anything which S1 claims.
The only reason they may be first is because they are willing to ship with known bugs on a card that is not ready for primetime.
They're not shipping that piece of it yet ... waiting til all is well with it.
For Blu-ray movies, I don't think there are any issues. I know it doesn't playback HD audio formats on HD-DVDs (which is a dead format anyway) and the 24p issue is resolved, so what other issues are there?

Growing up in a home where our living was made photographing people, I inherited a love for photography. It wasn't until I got my first digital camera a year ago that I really got into my own little world of camera work, my favorite being close up of flowers or little creatures. Any helpful advice is always welcome. JoAnn

UPDATE: Wunderlich Securities Downgrades Abraxas Petroleum to Hold on Leverage
Wunderlich Securities reduced its rating on Abraxas Petroleum (NASDAQ: AXAS) from Buy to Hold and reduced its price target from $7 to $3.
Wunderlich Securities noted, "We started the year with the idea that Abraxas Petroleum (AXAS) would be able to monetize assets, pay down debt, and end the year with a focused portfolio and a lean balance sheet. This turnaround theme is not materializing. With the Eagle Ford sale terminated, AXAS will not be able to lower debt significantly any time soon. The company still needs to borrow to fund its $60 million capex in 2012. We are not comfortable with the company's liquidity and operating issues that has kept it from producing at peak capacity."
Abraxas Petroleum closed at $2.28 on Thursday.

Was it Adele scooping up a Golden Globe and an Oscar with far-reaching, almond-shaped nails (in glittering burnt orange and sheer nude, respectively), or was it Nicole Richie's sharp black points that flashed like little knives on the Today show? Or Katy Perry's gilded nails that offset her Dolce & Gabbana dress at the Met Ball? Certainly, by the time model Daria Werbowy's delicately honed tomato red talons debuted in the fall Céline ads, the trend was clear: Long, pointy nails were no longer the badge of the unrefined; they were chic.
"Long nails are more sophisticated—the shape has evolved," says Kimmie Kyees, an L.A. manicurist who works with many of the aforementioned superstars. "That blunt square shape wasn't always working on people." The new shapes—pointed, oval or a combination (some call this a rounded stiletto)—do for your fingers what four-inch heels do for your legs. They make them look longer and skinnier.
But serious talons are easier for a celebrity; she has assistants to help her get dressed (and Instagram her outfits). But an ordinary person? "You get used to it," says Regina Rodriguez, a manicurist at Vanity Projects in New York (who, it should be noted, practices what she preaches: Her nails are bafflingly long). I ask her to give me inch-long cherry red, rounded stiletto nail extensions. To create instant length, she overlaid gel polish on glued-on tips (most manicurists agree that acrylic powders are less adhesive and can cause the nails to turn yellow). The polish, from Japanese brand Nail Labo, was a bright red called Marcato—the perfect finishing touch. My hands were reasonable facsimiles of Werbowy's; after a lesson on typing (keep the hands super-flat) and, more important, texting and tweeting (use the sides of the fingers, not the pads), I was good to go. Or so I thought.
Despite the instruction, I felt like a T. rex who'd discovered an iPhone; working on an actual keyboard was worse. Removing contact lenses at night was tricky too, as was tying my running shoes.
"There's a learning curve," Kyees had warned me. "When I first put them on Nicole Richie, she had to hand her phone to her hairstylist and ask her to text for her." Likewise, she says, Rihanna never goes to such lengths that she can't use her iPhone.
I quickly learned that over-the-top anything—hair, eyelashes, thigh-high boots—means people will gawk; nails are no exception. My red tips got reactions that ranged from jealousy ("Your fingers look so long and lithe!") to confusion ("How do you do anything?"). Men liked them. On the train, one smiled at me, but when he kept staring, I folded my hands to hide my nails, the same way I'd cross my arms if a stranger were staring at my chest.
Were they too much? "If you can't close your fist lightly, they're too long," says New York manicurist Lisa Logan, who does Beyoncé's nails. "Can you grip a steering wheel without stabbing yourself?" She had a point—I couldn't.
So I had Rodriguez trim the extensions a bit. (Kyees says even Adele has her nails taken off after work so she can take care of her son.)
Though I went to the salon, Essie celebrity manicurist Michelle Saunders says this look is relatively easy to accomplish on your own. Ideally, have a manicurist start you off with the right shape, bringing the sides to a point or an oval, then keep the shape as you file them yourself every few days. She also says to apply a protective strengthening base coat every week—and be careful with your hands. "You can't go straight into the drawer or fridge," she says. "You have to watch what you're doing." Skip the nail art, paint them any solid color but neon and channel Rihanna and Daria and learn to text with the sides of your fingers. —Kayleen Schaefer

In my car simulation i have change a lot of settings and i am trying a new approach.
I try to simulate an Engine and then get the resulting speed of the wheels.
Here is what i have done so far, but i don't think that my engine_rpm calculation is correct..
I try to calculate it from the engine angular velocity.
var maxTorque = getTorqueCurve( getRPMEngine() ); //This function return a Torque at a given rpm ( rpm minimum is 1000 ) engineAngularAcceleration = maxTorque / getCylinderInertia( 1000, 0.5 ); engineAngularVelocity += engineAngularAcceleration * TIME_STEP; var rps_engine = engineAngularVelocity * Math.PI * 2; rpm_engine = rps_engine * 60;
Any help to clear this out would be welcome.
Thank you very much.

EVERYONE W/ A CAMERA: RECord yourself talking about the relationship between Guns and the place you call Home. Also, contribute footage of your Home Environment.
Please touch upon these following questions while RECording your testimonial:
- Where is your Home?
- How do Guns factor in at your Home on a daily basis?
- Do you have to adjust your Lifestyle because of the effect Guns have on your Community?
- Have you ever felt in Danger because of Guns? Explain.
- How does your Environment effect your opinion on Guns? Has your opinion changed because of a particular incident or experience? Why or why not?
Story number 1:
During the bombing of Belgrade in 1999, one early morning around 4 am, the bombs were dropped on the science institute, I would say 400 hundred feet away from the place I lived. Detonation was so strong it threw me out of the bed while I was sleeping, broke all the windows and what to say, people were in panic. Except me, I was pissed, because I was sleepy and tired. If that fucking bomber was near by I would shake him out of his shoes. "How dares he to wake me up, now I have to clean all this mess" was my first thought. My second thought was "I'm going to sue UN". :) And then I spent 3 hours cleaning the broken glass and trying to put the bed back. And I spent next 6 months helping the people with PTSD, I wouldn't wish it to anyone.
Story number 2:
My sister, my mom and me on the street in the war area in Bosnia, when we heard an automatic rifle shoot behind us. I almost jumped on the ground. Three guys came back from the front line and were shooting in the air to celebrate coming back alive.
Story number 3:
My sister and I had a deal during the war in Bosnia and bombing in Serbia: never to go out together (it was a huge punishment for us, because we love to hang out together). Explanation: if one of us gets killed in the bombing or by sniper, the other one will survive to console our parents.
Story number 4:
A friend of mine was in the first war zone in Bosnia and the enemy was 600 feet away. Both sides were playing a tactical war, shooting only when needed, with a lot of spying and watching. My friend was very poor, the food was terrible and sometimes he would...
A random afternoon/evening.
why i considered living in israel a warzone. sorry for a few awk moments in it, but i figured uncut was better.

Foz do Arelho Things to Do
The Sea
If the lagoon is too quiet for you, or surf or snowboard is your purpose, just go across the sand stripe, and the sea is there, always with a good surf... sometimes too much good.
Check the flag or watch the other people prior to enter the water.Related to:
- Eco-Tourism
- Beaches
Swimming, water sports, or just picking shells, the tranquility of the lagoon as an alternative to the adjacent sea, serves it all (and the water is warmer than the sea...).
The bottom of the lagoon is somewhat irregular, so, those not knowing to swim must be very careful.Related to:

A Lareira: Eat well in the pine forest
Half way between Caldas da Rainha and Foz do Arelho, and only 10 kms from Obidos, this restaurant is, generally, one of the first choices to take large groups in search for a good meal. And, if the group is good and in the mood, the night may be animated.
Anyway, for a single person or a small group or family, the quality is the same.
It is a quiet and healthy location, the service is friendly and the food very tasty.

I don't know what to say… That muppet looked so real.. so lifelike…. I'll pay for the dry cleaning
OMG! Joe Jonas has the ugliest erection I've ever seen!
This is the best picture ever taken.
I've already written to MOMA.
Whack a Mole really takes it out of you…if you're a pussy.
translation: "I Thought It Was A Gloryhole!"
He lied when he told the puppet he was gonna poke him with his mallet.
That may be the funniest thing ever.
"I used to bang Taylor Swift, and now I'm reduced to muppets. Somebody kill me, kill me now."
I think he just rogered that thing prison style.
Joe must be really good cause the puppet looks really happy! Joe on the other hand looks a little bit like sucking a puppet off makes him GREEN!
The funny thing is in a comparison of Joe and the puppet, Joe is by far the uglier of the two.
That is a pretty cute puppet. Weird but cute.
What this site needs is more photobombs.
Esta noche…Donde esta, Mr. Bean?
on Univision.
Bahahahaha! Mr. Bean
now why is Amanda Seyfried with Joe Jonas? are they dating?
What a weird looking little thing.
And the puppet's pretty ugly too.
He was less than amused they had made a puppet of him.
El homo what? I've never heard of this show.
Poor Joe…He just realized they were ONLY going to be speaking spanish, in Madrid. That and he couldn't come out today cause it wasn't "that" kind of show
It's a dick in a box! (Note: since we cannot show an actual penis on the website, the penis is actually censored with an image of a puppet)

Past Vintages
We are excited to make this kind of aromatic, minerally white wine and we feel that the combination of aromatic fruit, and rich, velvety mouthfeel in our Riesling is in keeping with the signature Dashe style that defines our line of red wines. Our first vintage in 2006 was such a success that we almost doubled our production to 430 cases in 2007.
This is the first year Dashe Cellars has made a Petite Sirah from the Todd Brothers Ranch vineyard, and it is one of the darkest, most intense, and luscious wines we've ever made. Black-purple in color, it is certainly one of the most distinctive wines we've ever made!
A stellar Dry Creek Zinfandel from a stellar vintage, this is a jet-black, delicious zin with loads of fruit flavors and a velvety, voluptuous texture. It has it all: balance, elegance, intensity, and complexity. We wish every vintage could be so easy to make wines as was the classic vintage of 2007.
For most of this decade we've made Late Harvest Zinfandels from the great Lily Hill vineyard at Bella Winery (where Mike is the consulting winemaker). The shallow, rocky soils on the steep hills of this vineyard make the vines struggle, which in turn help the vines create very concentrated, complex grapes. One of the reasons that we love this vineyard for Late Harvest zinfandel is the wonderful acidity of the grapes. Even when we wait an extra four weeks or so to harvest the grapes (the average time that we need to leave the grapes to have them turn into Late Harvest) the grapes maintain their acidity. The resulting wine is always focused and clear--it's never cloying, and always finishes with a crisp, clean, sweet note.
We can never get enough of these remarkable old vine zinfandel grapes from the property of John Louvau in Dry Creek Valley. These old, gnarled, thick vines grow straight out of the rocky soil of the ancient riverbed on the "bench" of upper Dry Creek Valley, and they produce tiny quantities of jet-black, concentrated grapes.
This is a wine unlike any other that Dashe Cellars has ever produced. Complex, lower in alcohol, unfined and unfiltered, fermented using native yeasts found on the grapes, and organically grown. It's a wine made in a style that we love—totally drinkable, yet with a complexity that grows on you the more you sip. It really tastes more like a wine made from one of the great regions in the Beaujolais region of France than wine made in California.

Some people don't do homework just because they can't be bothered. Some, because they don't have time. Others don't have the facilities at the time. But others, others have much worse problems.

text: SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads) One of my friends son's who is at PCO was offered a job at a Costco where he would see roughly 30-33 patients a week and they would give him a percentage of the exam fees only. How much collections does that give the practice (30-33 patients) ?If he has a rough idea he can determine what his takehome will be based on the percentage they offer and see if the job is for him. Thanks in advance.

It's been awhile ZPS!
Zombie Panic: Source is a co-op oriented Survivor Vs Zombie multi-player survival horror modification for HL2. While our main priority is to make the mod as fun to play as possible, ZP:S plans to greatly expand on the core features of "Zombie panic" For HL1, with the obvious new features, impressive visuals, and of course atmospheric maps. More importantly ZP:S will not force players to fend against dumb and predictable AI, but instead keep the same intense thrill of surviving against intelligent and persistent player controlled zombies as the original.
It's been awhile but ZPS v2.3 is finally available via both Steam and Desura with the latest hotfix resolving a few issues that popped up not long after going live. Be sure to download now to check out our newest maps and character "Vanessa Isley".

As always we appreciate the patience and intense support you've shown us all these years and still today.
With us hard at work on 2.4 and our goal to try and spare more time to share with the community be sure to follow us via our social networks for the latest-

It's been awhile ZPS!
I never Played ZPS, I Cant either, Since I guess Its for 18+ And Im 15 D:
What do you have an age block somewhere?? Just forget your birthday and assume it's somewhere around 1991, works for most people, I don't see why it wouldn't work for you. Unless the parents are extremely uptight that they feel that violence will taint your poor virgin mind. If that is the case than they are holding you back, Because when the zombie Apocalypse comes, you will be screwed sweetheart, kk? Betty White for president. That is all.
Dude, speedboy, I started playing this when I was 13, I don't think there's any problems
10 here.
I am not even born yet and I played it as well!
8 here :D, 14 now.
If your parents would prefer that you did not play ZPS I'd fully support them.
I played starcraft when I was six.
Age controls are just so you know what you will be facing and what is expected of you by the community.
I played Dues ex, IGI, and Half-life when i was 3... As you can imagine, i didnt get far.
No... Age ratings are provided based on the level of violence and mature themes in the game (if any).
Play it anyway just don't use voice chat.
I played Blood, Duke Nukem 3D and Redneck Rampage when I was 10.
You won't be screwed more than I am, and actually I'm pretty fine. Go kill some zombies, fella.
Im 12 years old and what is this?
Nice work the new map looks good not sure what to think about this Lara Croft Character though.
Drop unused ammo? You mean like the ammo that is in the reserves of every weapon except the one your holding... and when you say 'Tweaked shotguns' in what way?
Drop unused ammo means ammo for any weapon not in your inventory.
Tweaked shotguns as they're useless at long ranges and strongher in closer ranges.
I like the name of the map. Like what you did with the city sign. I didn't get player progression entirely on this map. Seems like there are no things/switches that you need to do, in order to progress. Yet, looks good! Questions will be answered during playthrough anyway:)
Sounds like you played zpS_ rather than zpO_ version of the map. In ZPO there are a number of objectives to progress and eventually find safety. Hope that helps :)
any plans for the person animations? whole mod seems good, but when you see these zombies with those stupid animations, you start to smile a bit. (no offence)
We're always trying to improve the modification and we hope that with the release of 2.3 and quick hotfixes soon after shows that things are picking back up. The team is small but ambitious so keep smiling but with eyes peeled for our future updates :)
I like the person animations, they are not realistic but are a fun to look at.
Zombie attack animation while crouching and looking down is just win.
Gives the mod this 'games are for fun' feeling.
It looks beautiful!
Ah, it lives.
Just a reminder if anyone has any bugs/ideas/criticism come post it on our forums we make sure to read all the feedback!
whats the different between the desura and steam version ?
Customizing ZPS is a lot more straightforward in the Desura version
If you tried to replace anything in the Steam version (different pistol models, sounds, etc.) it would've been overridden by the master .gcf file
Great news! Keep up the good work!
OS X compatibility still lacking due to the SDK limitations?
is this a free game or what
yea its free on steam and this website and 20 more websites.
Really hate the new character personally but like the new map and the hud is great too
I so agree with you :)
wow really nice job with the maps... i am impressed and that doesnt happen a lot... especially in the source engine... everything seems perfect
