Until this spring I can recall seeing a red fox twice in the past many years.
One ran across the road in front of my pickup once near Union, Ore.
Another time, one stood out in a pasture as I drove between Baker City and Haines, Ore.
So, in April I thoroughly enjoyed the several hours that I spent observing a family of red foxes in a Walla Walla-area pasture.
I photographed an adult and four cavorting kits many times.
Then, on an early morning drive along Highway 20 near Vale, Ore., a couple of weeks ago, I saw a mature red fox slip from a field down into a barrow pit and fade into a culvert beneath the road.
I figured I'd seen my quota of red foxes for years to come.
Well, I recently took the scenic route from Eastern Oregon to Walla Walla, partly on the Elkhorn Scenic Byway.
As usual, I stopped often along the way to snap photos of animals, including a pair of scrawny deer, a pair or coyotes that dashed away from the road and a young osprey in a nest.
I also missed opportunities. I saw an antelope about 40 yards from the road as I rounded a curve, for example. It disappeared by the time I turned around and went back.
Anyway, at Sumpter I turned back because snow blocked the roads to Ukiah or to Anthony Lakes.
Then, after Baker City and Haines, I approached North Powder. I nearly forgot the camera on the passenger seat.
As a result, I only glimpsed a bright-colored young red fox. It posed in the sunshine, like a lawn ornament, inches from the pavement as I zipped past.
I slowed but didn't stop for a quarter mile. I pulled off of the narrow road in sight of Interstate 84.
Although no other vehicles had passed, I expected the fox would be gone. Yet, I went back.
I drove slow with the window down, the radio off, the camera with the long lens ready and Nora the Schnauzer standing on my lap, front feet on the window sill.
The fox remained statue still.
I stopped 15 feet away as a second fox raised its head.
I sat with the engine running and snapped photos before they slipped away.
Nora shivered with excitement, but she didn't bark and the foxes yawned and scratched.
Through the lens, I saw one had an engorged tick on its forehead.
Soon, I worried that a speeding vehicle approaching from behind me would be unable to stop.
I drove about 40 yards and pulled nearly into the right-side barrow pit.
I left Nora in the car and crossed the road. I leaned on a fence with a clear view of the foxes. Three of them. They ducked into the culvert under the road.
I waited, and in a few minutes the one with the tick on its forehead, reappeared. It looked at me. I stood as still as a post.
The fox looked away, and two others appeared.
Then, one walked to the road. It ambled across the road and climbed the bank into the bushes. I didn't see it again.
In the time I spent there, two pickups passed. Two guys waved but didn't stop.
I headed on home soon after that.
Culverts on a paved road may not be all that safe for red foxes, so I hope those survive.
If I see any more this year, I'll call 2010 the Year of the Red Fox.

Zoe Saldana Is "Obsessed" With Breasts: "I Wouldn't Mind Buying Myself a Pair"
The grass is always greener. There's no question that Zoe Saldana has a gorgeous figure. With her long legs and slender waist, she looks just as great in jeans and a T-shirt as she does in slinky red-carpet gowns. But in a new interview for Lucky magazine's February issue, on sale Jan. 1, she admits there are at least a couple of things she "wouldn't mind" changing -- namely, her breasts.
PHOTOS: Zoe Saldana's best style moments
"You always want what you don't have. My whole life I've been obsessed with breasts," the 35-year-old Star Trek Into Darkness actress says. "I love them. I don't like fake things, but I wouldn't mind buying myself a pair one day before I die."
That said, she doesn't think a woman's bra size should be her defining characteristic. "When I hear men saying, 'I don't want droopy breasts,' I think, 'I'm sorry, you're not really a man.' A man likes a woman as she is," the star tells Lucky. "You know when you meet a real man from the way he talks about a woman. You just go, 'Wow, you're a man.'"
Saldana declined to talk with the mag about her own man -- she secretly married Italian artist Marco Perego in London this summer -- but she did open up about her personal sense of style, and how she feels when people criticize an outfit or look.
"I can give two s--ts about what somebody thought I looked like. At the moment I conceived wearing an outfit, I had a thousand reasons," she says. "And now that it's done, and I'm getting feedback that's not positive, I'm going to regret it? I take responsibility for my actions, whether the outcome is positive or negative."
Her fashion choices reflect who she is as a person, she adds. "I like looking strong. I don't need someone to open the door for me. I can open a jar!" the Avatar beauty explains. "For some reason, dressing very delicately brings out a fragility that compels people to help you and I don't like it."

Try to explain why this statement is false: "Cutting the federal deficit will create jobs."
The simple answer is because government spending creates jobs by putting money in the hands of those who will spend it, thus priming the economy.
Cutting government spending, as Republicans in Congress want to do, will create the opposite effect of what they are saying will happen — an important point for America taxpayers and voters to understand.

The revived effort to conceptualize a new town office building for Middlebury has two apparent goals: to tear down much of the existing building and replace it with a smaller, more modern and efficient office space, and — by doing so — save on fuel costs.
Middlebury residents rejected a proposal in 2002 for a $6 million proposal that called for a 13,982-square-foot, two-story structure on the same site. That proposal would have incorporated the town police headquarters and kept the existing municipal gymnasium.
The growing crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in Japan highlights several important considerations Vermonters must ponder concerning the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant in southern Vermont.
First, we must determine whether the plant's age warrants extension of its license due to expire in 2012.
This is the sixth anniversary of Sunshine Week, a time to take stock of the public's right to know and to celebrate victories in making ours a more open and transparent government.
Saturday's Chili Festival in Middlebury drew a throng of about 3,500 people who enjoyed socializing on a closed Main Street while tasting more than 80 varieties of chili on a semi-raw, March day. It was, as coordinators of the event said, "an overwhelming success."
Middlebury College professor Allison Stanger made big news last Wednesday when she appeared on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," to discuss her book, "One Nation Under Contract: The Outsourcing of American Power and the Future of Foreign Policy." The release of her book is old news, actually, seeing how the hardback edition came out in October 2009, but the paperback edition recently came out and it was another opportunity for Stewart to highlight an important work — by putting the spotlight on Stanger's seven years of research tho
When the White House insider 'Deep Throat' told reporter Bob Woodward of The Washington Postto "just follow the money" to unravel what became the Watergate scandal, Americans were reminded of the power of money to corrupt and influence.
Vermonters are fortunate today to live in a state where civic-minded progress overshadows the need by some to blame all things government for the recession and tepid economic recovery.
In states like Wisconsin, Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio and much of the deep South, taxpayers are taking their frustrations out on the budgets they can control — schools and towns — and selling the future of the younger generation down the drain.

- Mar 22, 2014Hi guys, well its up-date time, received my unit this morning and had to pay £11.58 handling and VAT charge at the post office to claim my parcel as it had come from Singapore which is of course out side the EU.
My first operation was to install into my Windows XP PC, and following the enclosed guide and JP's info fed all the relevant IP's in and it started straight away no problems receiving the Data on the existing satellite, no signal loss all segments received fine, in fact my signal strength is higher than DVB World. I thought I would try Windows XP first as I know a lot of the members still use that system, and it works fine, of course we still have to test on DVB-S2, but that comes later, so far so good.
Regards to all. Mike G4CFZ.

Laptop Skins
Big Lifeby David Comito
Skins are thin, easy-to-remove, vinyl decals for customizing your laptop . Skins are made from a patented material that eliminates air bubbles and wrinkles for easy application.
David, I really like your illustrations! Are they digital, paint, or a combo? Just curious.
Thank you! I suppose should write up a description of my process but on the whole they are pen and ink to start and then colored using photoshop. I like to keep a hands on feel even though the color is digital so I use a pen tablet and treat it as if I were using paint or pens.
So awesome.
Thank you much!
David, thank you for the description. They really are beautiful. I have a new appreciation for the art of digital color since I have been experimenting with it. I suppose the pen and ink drawings are what give them that more traditional feel. Nice work.
Yes the pen and ink really is my anchor. The cool thing about digital color is there are so many different ways to use it, I learn something new every time I do a piece.

Branding is often labelled an art. But Martin Lindstrom, a branding guru who has consulted for clients like Microsoft, Visa, Disney, and supermodel Tyra Banks, wants to make it a science.
To do it, he is relying on findings from his research, which cuts across neuroscience and psychology and draws data from focus groups, customer surveys, fMRI scans, and social experiments. He has even lived in the homes of consumers just to get into their minds.
The result is a set of intriguing findings encapsulated in his latest book, Brandwashed. He was in Singapore's Marina Bay Sands on 10th September to share his insights to an audience of marketing managers, brand consultants, and entrepreneurs.
Martin is as polished and genuine a speaker as they come. Yes, some critics have noted (here and here) that he tends to overstate the significance of his research findings. But I found his presentations thought-provoking, engaging, and memorable. Here, I will summarize his key points and relate them to entrepreneurship.
Appetizer: Why branding is a must for your startup
Before I launch into his key points, here are some quick notes about branding.
It is as important to a startup as product development, customer acquisition, and fundraising. Done right, branding can help you develop a loyal customer base, create compelling products, and boost company morale.
It's also false that branding is an expensive exercise. As a Businessweek article puts it, branding is about finding the personality of your company and making sure it is consistent across all it does. It is about creating the perception of your company among customers. IKEA takes it to an extreme: Employees are expected to fill up their details on their namecards, a policy that's coherent with the company's DIY philosophy.
Think of your startup as a person in the courtship game. Nothing is spared in creating a good first impression. Don't expect to snag a second date if you dress badly, smell awful, or lack social skills.
It works the same for your company: Engaging your customer's 5 senses with a consistent brand is something Martin talks about a lot.
Once, a South American bank he consulted for possessed good customer service, yet consumers seem to be unaware of it.
So, he used subconscious signals to change their perceptions of the bank's service. The colors of the bank's outlets were changed. A distinctive smell was adopted, and the clock was shifted. Even special sounds were developed, and nature motifs installed. Customers who entered felt calmer, and as a result they felt more positive about the bank.
Beyond the company's look and feel, branding touches on the realm of higher purpose, just as how individuals crave self-actualization.
Charles Revson, founder of cosmetics brand Revlon, once said: 'In the factory we make cosmetics. In the store we sell hope'. Google's mission, which I Googled about, is to 'make the world's information universally accessible and useful'. And the story goes that a cleaner at NASA, when asked by former US President Kennedy what his job was, said: 'My job is to help to put a man on the moon.'
Such inspirational values, Martin says, can even humanize a B2B (boring-to-boring, he calls it) brands.
On to the main course: The irrationality of consumers
Underlying many of Martin Linstrom's arguments is the idea that customers are irrational most of the time. By that, he means the people are often influenced by subconscious impulses they're not aware of and therefore not in position to control. And while they may become conscious of their behavior, consumers are often not inclined to change because their habits have become deeply ingrained.
A study he conducted showed that consumers tend to buy more if they are interrupted in their purchasing process. That's because our brain wants to conclude things very quickly after we are disrupted from completing a task. Supermarkets have been known to capitalize on our irrational nature by adopting a counterclockwise movement flow because shoppers tend to spend more that way.
Martin's point is that consumers are manipulated by their environments more than they realize. A website or storefront's look and feel, the environment in which the visitor is in while surfing a website, and even peer pressure to own a product can influence purchasing decisions.
Don't just make your brand smashing. Make it smashable.
In effect, how much sales you make is not just influenced by your smooth pitching skills, but how well your company engages your customers' subconscious minds and their 5 senses. To do that effectively, your brand must be 'smashable'.
Try this exercise: Take out your business card and rip off its logo (hurts, I know). If your brand is smashable, people would still be able to recognize your company even without the trademark. The same idea applies to your startup's website and product.
Coca-Cola adheres to this concept religiously. It has even patented the shape of its bottle with the hope that if it is smashed, people will still be able to recognize the brand it belongs to. Another brand would be Intel, which trademarked sound is recognized the world over.
Yahoo!'s purple font, Toblerone's triangular shape, and Apple's clean product design are just more examples of smashable elements that make a brand sparkle.
In fMRI scans that Martin has conducted, he realized that when smashable elements are presented to a person, the pattern recognition region of the brain lights up. As such, these seemingly disparate articles that form part of a coherent brand message can combine to form deep-seated brand associations with consumers.
There are many possibilities in creating smashable elements. They can incorporate include color, layout, numbers, rituals, touch, navigation, picture, shapes, name, language, and sound.
Maximize word-of-mouth marketing by reaching out to aspirational consumers
Many products have spread organically without much ad spend: Think Gmail, Tamagochi, and Angry Birds. The reason why they've proliferated so rapidly, according to Martin, is because of word-of-mouth marketing.
This sort of marketing taps on our subconscious need for peer approval. We seek to be cooler and more authoritative than everyone else, and being seen with the right products is the gateway to achieving that status.
So, to use word-of-mouth marketing correctly, brands must make a distinction between aspirational consumers, which companies must prioritize, and everyone else. They are the trendsetters who dictate everyone else's tastes. This group usually possess 6 characteristics:
1) They serve an active role in their community or tribe.
2) They are great networkers.
3) They possess strong communication skills.
4) They are able to build great rapport with others.
5) They're successful in what they do.
6) They are good-looking.
Branding for this group and reaching out to them can bring about a multiplier effect. While there is much talk about the rise of social media, Martin asserts that face-to-face interactions still form the majority, or 77%, of brand communication. Social media is only 6%.
People love brands that remind them of their childhood
It's no secret that many of our habits form when we were children. The same applies to brand association. Martin cites a study showing that babies from 46 pregnant women were primed with carrots while in their mothers' wombs. The end result is that they end up preferring carrot-made food.
He has also found out that he can predict the sort of Cola brands people go for by figuring out what their parents prefer. This induction into the Coca-Cola or Pepsi family typically begins between 5 to 8 years old, when parents hand their children their first can of Coke.
That's the age range where children are extremely susceptible to brand messages and have the highest sensorial sensitivity in their lives. Which is why, according to Martin, 65% of our brand choices are decided by our parents.
While childhood is a good entry point for brands, it is by no means the only one. Other peaks include the ages of 14 to 16, 20 to 22, 26 to 28, 28 to 30, 40 to 42, and 64 to 66. These are transitional periods where an individual ventures into becoming a teenager, enters into serious relationships, gets married and have kids, settles into the middle ages, and retires.
The scary implications of brandwashing
Many of the practices talked about here have unfathomable implications. The race to capture consumers at a young age could lead companies to include ingredients into baby food that prime toddlers to their products. Word-of-mouth marketing, if carried out irresponsibly, could backfire if the target group starts to feel manipulated.
That's not all. Technology is bringing us to a future where contextual and iterative branding will become the norm. But in the midst of capturing customer data that makes these possible, will consumers feel that their privacy is being violated?
Throughout his presentation, Martin emphasized time and again the need for companies to decide where to draw the line. He has suggested a list of ethical principles, created with a survey of 2,000 consumers, that marketers can get inspiration from.
Here's one I'll highlight: "Align perception with reality. Your talents might very well lie in brilliantly creating convincing perceptions, but how do they stack up against the reality? If there's a mismatch, either one must be adjusted in order for them to be in sync."
This is interesting because it relates to product development. What it is essentially saying is this: If your product sucks, but your branding excels, you must elevate your product to the level of your branding. The reverse is true too: If your branding efforts are letting your product down, it's time to work on your brand messages.
Failure to do so would result either in disappointed consumers or under-performing sales.
But if I were to pick between either situations, a good product with bad branding might be more forgiving. Because while it is easy to polish a good apple and make it shine, a bad apple will stay rotten. Brandwashing only goes so far, so the rotten apple must be disposed of.
Similarly, it is much easier to redo your company image than to realize that your startup needs to start from scratch because you held the wrong assumptions and that your product wasn't addressing a need and doesn't have a market.
As they always say: It's the product, stupid.

JPMorgan Said to Plan Commodity Trader Cuts in London
JPMorgan Chase & Co., the biggest U.S. bank, told about 10 traders in its commodity business that their jobs may be eliminated, according to two people with knowledge of the situation.
The bank may dismiss or relocate seven in London and one in Dubai, said the people, asking not to be identified because the matter is private. A second Dubai-based trader will be relocated to London, the people said. Patrick Burton, a spokesman for the bank in the U.K. capital, declined to comment.
JPMorgan had the second-highest revenue from commodities after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. last year, analytics company Coalition said in March. New York-based JPMorgan has commodity bankers based in 12 countries, according to its website, though it doesn't disclose how many traders it has globally.
Commodities revenue at the 10 largest banks slumped 24 percent last year to $6 billion amid low volatility and reduced client activity, according to a Feb. 15 Coalition report. Increasing concerns about regulation and capital sensitivity also led banks to re-examine commodity strategies, it said.
Goldman Sachs in a report last month cut its "near-term" outlook for commodities and reduced forecasts for oil and coffee amid prospects for weak demand from China to Europe. The bank also exited a bet on lower gold prices. Gold fell into a bear market in April as investors sold the metal in favor of riskier assets, spurred by expectations that the global economy was recovering and stimulus programs would be reduced.
Low Volatility
The Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index of raw materials climbed less than 0.3 percent in 2012, the worst performance in four years. The gauge's 100-day historic volatility fell to as low as 14.1 percent in May, from as much as 23.8 percent in January 2012, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
JPMorgan said in February it will eliminate as many as 19,000 jobs in mortgages and community banking through 2014 as it trims expenses. This year, the bank's headcount will shrink by about 4,000 people, mainly through attrition, while some employees are redeployed to other areas, said Kristin Lemkau, a spokeswoman, said at the time.
The bank's first-quarter profit rose 33 percent to a record last month as it shrank expenses by 16 percent.

Baldwin, Patti Smith featured at NY poetry reading
NEW YORK (AP) -- The night of poetry began with the verse of Emily Dickinson set to television music, peaked with a shaman-esque chant by Patti Smith and ended with Alec Baldwin making good on his college English studies with a flawless recital of Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee."
"I was in tears from Alec Baldwin reading `Annabel Lee.' It's such a beautiful poem," Smith said Wednesday night after a gala event at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, where nine artists and celebrities were featured readers for Poetry & the Creative Mind, a benefit sponsored by the Academy of American Poets and staged in honor of April, National Poetry Month.
Only Smith qualified as an actual poet, but Adrien Brody looked like one in his porkpie hat and dark beard, and all performers honored material that demonstrated the unruly range of American verse. There were standards memorized in classrooms ("Annabel Lee," Walt Whitman's "I Hear America Singing"), the anguish of Delmore Schwartz, the ecstasy of Allen Ginsberg, the street talk of Charles Bukowski and the rap of Christopher Wallace, aka the late Notorious B.I.G.
The classic and the colloquial were paired from the beginning. Master of ceremonies Chip Kidd read a gloomy excerpt by Marilyn Monroe and continued a tradition of fitting Dickinson's compressed verse to contemporary song. Two years ago, he picked the melody of "Yellow Rose of Texas." On Wednesday, he sang some of Dickinson's most morbid lines to the bouncy theme of "Gilligan's Island":
Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.
The readers were aligned in chairs behind the podium, their dress business-casual, from Caroline Kennedy's silk jacket and blouse to the tie-less attire of most of the men. The moods were serious, silly, confessional, righteous.
Kennedy, who has edited several collections of poetry, earnestly explained the importance of hearing verse aloud. Jesse Eisenberg, a picture of self-absorption in "The Social Network," nervously smacked his lips as he acknowledged that his choice of Schwartz's haunted "The Heavy Bear Who Goes With Me" was a "veiled way to further my narcissism." Brody slouched at the podium and rasped through Notorious B.I.G.'s "Ten Crack Commandments."
Chef-food writer Dan Barber claimed he didn't bother with poetry, "like never," but so enjoyed Robert Hass' "Meditation at Lagunitas" that he read it twice. Singer Cassandra Wilson introduced herself as a novice but sounded like a natural through an accomplished and emotional tribute reading of Nikky Finney's "Left," an elegy for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Until her turn came, Smith hardly seemed on the same stage, or in the same cosmos. She sat stiffly, arms folded across her chest, her eyes closed as if in solitude. But at the podium, her graying hair in pigtails, her round glasses blinded in the spotlight, she shook and shouted through Ginsberg's "Footnote to Howl," with its rush of "Holies" and its Utopian climax: "Holy the supernatural extra brilliant intelligent kindness of the soul!"
Smith left to applause long and impolite, old news for a rock star. An awed Baldwin began his reading with a chant of his own.
"Oh, man," he said. "Oh, man. Oh, man."

Review for The Butterfly Pavilion, Westminster, CO, USA
I live in Westminster and had tried a couple of organizations to volunteer prior to becoming settled at the Butterfly Pavilion. What makes the Butterfly Pavilion special is their exceptional staff and volunteer training programs. Throughout the year classes are offered to deepen and enrich our knowledge base to share with visitors. Staff are always on hand to answer our questions. For me, I just love spending time in the Conservatory enjoying the butterflies and flowers and foliage. I often see visitors entranced with the experience, just sitting and taking it all in. I like to share our conservation message by showing the visitors our many tropical products and relating how they are raised sustainably.

Manufacturer's Description
Perform two-wheelin' stunts without breaking your legs. Dirt Bike puts you behind the handlebars of a racer, challenging other riders over various terrains. You design the bike and control the throttle, shifting and steering to compete against other players, computer-controlled bikes, and previous high scores.
To control the bike, you use the X and Z keys to upshift and downshift, respectively. (There is also an option for the computer to automatically shift the bike for you.) The current gear is displayed in the status window. The location of your cursor on screen determines the throttle: if the cursor is at the top of the screen, throttle is on full; if the cursor is at the bottom of the screen, brakes are on full. You move the mouse from side to side to steer.
You can challenge human opponents over a network, or challenge the computer, where you can edit game characteristics (lower the horsepower, for example). The yellow bikes on the track are the recorded races of the high score times. Each time a new high score is set, that race is recorded so others can race against it.
Dirt Bike 3D Track and Bike files are cross-platform, which means that if you create a track on a PC, you can open that track on the Mac. You can even play against opponents across platforms.

Astute analysis, Phillip. I think linking behaviors that we train in school to consumptive behaviors post-graduation offers a way to tie long term thinking in with our educational goals. It seems that too often our edu-policies emerge from a horse-race mentality where everything is gauged in the short term. Toward those short term goals, everything is measured against a product, as you suggest, rather than the process. You might be interested in the efforts of Ashoka Changemakers toward increasing empathy. They have a initiative, Start Empathy, which ties into your comment. http://empathy.ashoka.org

MAC Cremesheen - Creme d'Nude

Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I love Creme d'Nude. The color is a light beige pink. It runs a bit cool. It's much more cool than Nars Belle De Jour (which I also love) but both are about the same depth. Creamsheen is a thick, pigmented, creamy consistancy that does not dry out my lips. It also lasts a long time while still having some sheen to it. A+ perfect true nude.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
I have been trying to find the perfect nude lip for a while and unfortunately I still haven't. The colour is just TOO nude. I have quite pigmented lips so I need a strong nude to cancel it out, but this just washed me out and made me face look dull. I did love the texture of it, and if I have exfoliated and moisturised my lips recently it goes on very smoothly (but without it shows up flaky lips that you didn't even know were dry).
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Green
I am on my third creme d' nude lipstick now. I love it, it's my HG for nude lips.
I am NC37 and this is the perfect nude lipstick. It's not pink, its a beigey nude colour. I have quite pigmented lips and this tones them right down whilst still giving me that nudey colour instead of a MLBB look.
Love the formula, is slightly drying but I use a lip balm underneath everything anyways. The colour is very pigmented and the formula smooth. Will continue to buy this lipstick.
Btw, this goes lovely with Boy Bait cremesheen glass. The colours and formulas go so well together.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
I'm one of those girls who hate Myth lipstick b/c it is soooo drying and it's just way too pale for my skin. I cannot pull it off under any circumstances. I've considered Creme D'nude for a long time now, and I never bought it b/c last year I was at MAC and I swatched Myth and Creme d'nude side-by-side and it just looked exactly the same at the time. I took a 2nd look at creme d'nude today in almost a year and boyyyy I was wrong! Creme d'nude does everything that Myth lipstick was supposed to do for me: it gives me a beautiful pinky nude lip that looks shiny and healthy! Not cakey at all like Myth. I highly recommend it!!
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Other
Eyes: Brown
This was my first Cremesheen, the texture of Creme d'Nude is dryer than the other cremesheens. They should of labeled this as a matte. This flaked and made me reach for lipgloss and lipbalm to counter the effects. The other cremesheens were a dream to apply. Change the formula please on this shade!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This is the most perfect shade of nude I've tried! I love it, its just right. It actually shows up, but not so much that it looks ridiculous. Definitely repurchasing! Only reason it lost a lippie is because it didn't last as long as I would've liked it to. Also I need to exfoliate my lips to make them super smooth before using it, because it does make them look very dry otherwise.

i love this lipstick! i got this in the back to mac recycle program and im not usually a lipstick wearer but i love nude lipsticks and this one looks great on. :) i use it everyday, and its amazing!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Cool

I love this lipstick because unlike Myth, you can wear this alone without lip gloss and it looks great. Lovveeeee it!

I love this lipstick its goes on really smooth great nude color Im on my second tube will def be buying this again .

I'm an NW20 and this gives me a sheer nude lip. Much easier to work with than Fleshpot, but not as much color pay-off. Still 4 lippies because it is so versatile! (:

Well, here it is, from the off and on again craigslist to my yard. Not completely sure what I'm going to do with it since it's a bit small for me. Seat tube measures about 53cm ctt and the top tube is about 53cm ctc. It does have newer tires on it.
I picked up some yellow bar tape on the way home with it and also ordered a new headset since the one on the bike has a go straight notch feel in the bearings/races. Either had a lot of miles or was a soft headset or both. The seller said she won a couple of triathlons on it though.
I do have two pair of clamp-on aero bars down in the basement which one of them might have found a home with this bike.
Anyway, on with the pics.

Korea Republic squandered a two-goal lead in front of 53,000 fans here Saturday as Jordan battled to a 2-2 draw in the third round of Asian FIFA World Cup™ qualifying.
With his team two down, second-half substitute Hassan Abdel Fattah scored twice within seven minutes to pull off an improbable draw for Jordan, who are now second in Group 3 with four points. South Korea are top on five points with Turkmenistan and North Korea playing on Monday.
"We gave up goals too easily," said frustrated Korean manager Huh Jung-Moo, who blasted his team for not killing off the game. "We should have scored more. We grew complacent after building the lead and some guys just tired toward the end."
Korea dominated early on with Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-Sung giving them the lead in the 38th minute, converting a headed pass from Lee Chung-Yong deep in the Jordan box.
They went two up shortly after the break when Park Chu-Young converted a penalty after midfielder Cho Won-Hee was hacked down from behind by Hatem Aqel just inside the penalty area. With Korea in control, substitute Kim Do-Heon almost scored a third but his header, set up by Cho from the right, sailed just over the crossbar.
Surprising Jordan
South Korea paid dearly for the near-miss with Abdel Fattah banging home his own rebound from close range in the 72nd minute with goalkeeper Kim Yong-Dae caught out of position.
Seven minutes later Abdel Fattah struck again. Al Matalka's cross from the left found the charging midfielder unmarked in the box and he rolled the ball in with his left foot past the diving Kim.
Jordan manager Nelo Vingada said he was delighted with the draw, but surprised. "As I've said earlier, South Korea are a better team and I didn't expect we'd score two goals against them," Vingada said. "But we wanted to show Korean fans that Jordan are an improving team. We never gave up after going down 2-0 and our efforts paid off."
The two countries play each other again on June 7 in Jordan. Australia play Iraq in Brisbane on Sunday with the remainder of the Asian qualifying games on Monday.

We already know President Obama likes to listen to (and occasionally sing) Al Green songs. And he's told us that his iPod has a bit of Jay-Z and Lil Wayne on it . But with the toughest re-election campaign of his career on the horizon, what music will Obama 2012 be using to pump up crowds at rallies?
Judging by a playlist uploaded to Spotify this week, it looks like a cheerful, noncontroversial mix of classic rock, country, soul and R&B, but, alas, no hip-hop.
Instead, in a clear bid to appeal to the broad middle, Obama chose songs by beloved soul acts like Booker T. & the MG's ("Green Onions"), Earth Wind & Fire ("Got to Get You Into My Life"), The Impressions ("Keep on Pushing") and, yes, Green (the pleading "Let's Stay Together").
From the rock pile, he went with Wilco ("I Got You"), Arcade Fire ("We Used to Wait"), U2 ("Even Better Than the Real Thing") and the new blue-collar recession anthem from Bruce Springsteen ("We Take Care of Our Own"). For those visits to the heartland, he loaded up on country goodness from Sugarland ("Stand Up" and "Everyday America"), Darius Rucker ("This"), Zac Brown Band ("Keep Me in Mind") and Dierks Bentley ("Home").
There are a few oddball picks in there as well, including a deep cut from No Doubt ("Different People"), a very literal AM radio staple from REO Speedwagon ("Roll with the Changes"), a cover of the Band's "The Weight" by Aretha Franklin, some indie rock from Noah and the Whale ("Tonight's the Kind of Night") and a Ricky Martin/ Joss Stone duet ("The Best Thing About Me Is You").
While likely GOP opponent Mitt Romney takes the stage to the rousing strains of Kid Rock's Americana anthem "Born Free," Obama plans to get crowds pumped with the likes of modern R&B master Raphael Saadiq ("Keep Marchin' "), Florence and the Machine ("You've Got the Love") and afro-era prog popsters Electric Light Orchestra ("Mr. Blue Sky").
Rounding out the list is obscure jam act AgesAndAges, whose "No Nostalgia" is a handclapping ditty that just begs for a group hug, Jennifer Hudson's "Love You I Do," Ledisi's self-explanatory "Raise Up," James Taylor's feel-good "Your Smiling Face," country duo Montgomery Gentry's small-town homage "My Town" and Ray LaMontagne's tear-in-your-beer lovefest "You Are the Best Thing."
It might sound tame, but don't forget that back in 2008 when he was still just Candidate Obama, the president's taste in music was pretty similar. At the time, the future boomer-in-chief said he listened to everything from Bob Dylan, Elton John, Earth Wind & Fire and the Rolling Stones to Sheryl Crow, Springsteen and a number of jazz and classic giants, including Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Yo-Yo Ma.
What songs would you add to the president's playlist? Let us know in comments below!

If you were without power most of the weekend or just wanted to unplug, you may have missed the news: Andre Drummond re-classified himself to the 2011 class, and he'll be attending Connecticut. Like, immediately.
He'll be considered one of the best, if not the best, big players in the country. His arrival completely changes how UConn will be viewed. It goes from Big East contender to national title player with the likes of UNC, Kentucky and Ohio State.
How did this happen? Why? Should it even be allowable this late into the summer? Borzello and I talk about everything surrounding Drummond's recruitment, the type of player he is, how Calhoun's managed to pull this off and where it places UConn. There are also consequences to this move for the Huskies, so we cover that in full, too.

Podcast: Why Drummond to UConn changes it all
Interesting! While I agree that this does make UConn a better contender with Drummond than without, were these two talking heads not part of the Wizards of Smart who missed UConn all together in the pre-season rankings last year? Being a Husky fan, I like to hear the hype for UConn, but I know that this is WAY EARLY to be predicting sure shot contenders come tourney time next March. Who knows, there just may be another "sleeper" team out there this year too! GO HUSKIES!!!

I am searching for the Faught family that moved from Virginia to Georgia between 1790- 1799.One son , Samuel Faught, born in Virginia in 1790 was my gg grandfather. Another son,Wiley Blount Faught, born in Georgia in 1799 was my gg uncle.They appear in Hickman County Tennessee in 1809, Limestone County Alabama in the 1820s and Giles County Tennessee in 1830.
In Georgia Cherokee records , I got a lead on a Faught family led by Nancy Faught that appears in the Cherokee Rolls that listed the Cherokees to be removed to Oklahoma.Nancy Faught, sons Wheeler and Eli, and daughter Margaret went west with the Goin Snake group in September 1838,under John Benge.Nancy's son Wheeler was hung in Oklahoma in 1846 for involvement in tribal warfare between two groups of Cherokees. Nancy and daughter Margaret appear in the 1851/52 Drennen Rolls ,which lists the New Echota, Georgia Treaty Group of Cherokees.
Nancy died and Margaret married George William Crouch.I found no record on Eli in Oklahoma.Note: a good source for the above is found on " Google" under "Dr. Emmett Starr, Cherokee Genealogist".
I am intrigued that there was a Faught family of Cherokees in Georgia soon after my Virginia - kin were there.When the Virginia - Faught family moved on into Tennessee,a son could have remained in Georgia with the Cherokees.
I am searching for the name of the father of my gg grandfather,Samuel. I hope a search of early Cherokee land records and of white men that married into the tribe will help identify the Faught that was the husband or father of Nancy, the Cherokee lady that went to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears.
Should any one reading this have info on the father of Samuel and Wiley Blount Faught, I will appreciate the lead. Note: The two brothers, Samuel and Wiley B., and their mother Nancy died in Giles County, Tennessee. I do not think they have a Cherokee connection; but there is a possibility that a member of the family does.
1 February,2014 update to he original message: Please see my tree "Blucher Louis Faught" for the latest info on this subject and the results of my DNA test.

Faught, Manasco
John Harrison Faught, b.VA 1780-d.Walker Co, AL aft. 1830, m. 1803 in TN, Nancy Marilla Manasco, b.SC 1780-d. Walker Co., AL, (no date).
Their children:
Wiley Blount, GA 1799-?;
Levi, TN 1804-1838, Morgan Co, AL;
Jesse Hunter, TN 1805-Apr 3 1869, Walker Co, AL;
Samuel William Faught, TN 1807-d.1841, Walker Co, AL;
Nancy Hunter, Sep 25 1809-Sep 28 1888, Denton, Denton Co, TX;
Sarah E, AL 1817-?.
I am a descendant of Samuel William Faught, who m. Elizabeth Brown. Their son James Anderson Faught is my gggrandfather. Elizabeth's parents were John M. Brown (half-blood) & Hannah Rice. Elizabeth's father's parents were Cherokee Chief John Brown and first wife, Dolly Dean (full-blood).
According to Claim No 21413-21397 of James Anderson Faught, his father Samuel W. Faught was part Indian, but as he died in 1841 when Anderson was only four years old, he wasn't sure how much Indian his father was. Samuel Wm. Faught is buried in Faught Cemetery, Walker County, AL, with wife Elizabeth and children Sarah & Anderson.
I hope this helps.

I read your reply with interest. Appears there may have been more than one Faught with a Cherokee connection. The one I traced to Oklahoma in the Trail of Tears event was evidently married to a Faught that had a family of two boys and one girl.They were first listed in Army records showing rations issued to New Echota Treaty Cherokees during 1836-38.They later appeared on Cherokee rolls in Oklahoma.
Another subject: I am trying to determine if John Harrison Faught was the John Faught listed in the War of 1812 files. I show John, Moses, Isham and William as Privates in the 36th Regiment of West TN Militia in Hickman County, TN. Samuel Faught of Hickman County was appointed a Lieutenant in the same Regiment in 1809.In 1806-8. a Samuel and John were living in White / Warren Counties.
I have been tracing William Faught b. 1764 in VA. as the possible father of John b. 1780, Samuel b. 1790 David b. 1795, and Wiley B b. 1799. The Isham and Moses of the Hickman County Militia would have been at least sixteen , and therefore, born around 1797. They may have also been Willian's sons. However, based upon their age , if the John in Hickman County in the War of 1812 period was your John Harrison Faught b. 1780, he could have been Isham and Mose's father. Do you any records that show if John was in White, Warren and Hickman counties as indicated? Also, I have only found William Faught listed in Hickman County; and the 1820 Census of Lawrence County / 1830 Census of Carrol County,TN. Do you have any thing on him?

You're right--there are other Cherokee connections in our Faught family. Wiley Blount Faught's brother, Samuel William b.1807, married Elizabeth Brown b.1809 TN, daughter of John (Cherokee Jack) Brown and Hannah Rice. Elizabeth's grandfather John Brown of Creek Path was at least half Indian and her grandmother Dolly Dean was full-blood Cherokee. It would be reasonable to assume that if one sibling married an Indian, other siblings were likely to as well.
Wiley Blount was married several times and had many children including Sarah (b.1817), Joseph (b.1818), Isham (b.1821), Moses Matthew (b.1824). However, these weren't born until after the War of 1812. It gets quite confusing when these same names are repeated so frequently throughout the generations and different lines.
Although Wiley Blount is not in my direct lineage, I have quite a bit of information about his family taken from their family Bible. It's several pages of typed print that also includes several miscellaneous families of Faughts--too much to retype here. If you'll contact me at
, I'll be glad to share with you what I have. There may be something in it that would help you.

I know that my G.G Grandfather was John C. Faught and he was in the war of 1812 out of Tennessee. i do not have any records but this may be the john Faught that you speak of. i would like to get more info on him too.

Although there are no John C.'s in my files, the John Faughts I have would have been 50-60 years old during the War of 1812. I'm not familiar with details of that war--there may have been soldiers of that age. Right now I'm thinking your John C is in a different lineage. Perhaps Robert can make a connection from his research?

Well, hello...............and the father of your Samuel Faught is Gaspar Faught, and his second wife a german lady. Samuel was born at Peaked Mountain, Virginia. There war three generations of Faughts (spelled Voltz, Pzaughts, Faults, Fotz, Fouts etc) in the German Church records.
Gaspar left Peaked Mountain and the German settlement there, with his second german wife, and joined the Militia. I have lost track of him between 1790 (Samuel born) and 1794 when he showed up at Telico Plains (was Georgia, then split into Tennessee and Georgia and split again and again etc). He lost his second german wife at Telico, and remarried to LOUISA BLONT BLACKLEDGE a widow who had lost her entire family in one night of terror. Louisa and Gaspar had for certain two sons William and Levi.
William Blont Faught, and his brother Levi Bruce Fauaht were born in that area of Cherokee Indian lands attached to Franklin Co, Georgia, that was known as Telico Plains. Your Samuel Faught was 1/2 brother to the two men.
Their father was Gaspar Faught. He was a captain sent to Telico Plains to help construct a block house. He lost his german wife. Your Samuel was a son of the German wife. I do not have her name.
While at the new Block house, the Blont family were interested in connections to the VAST Salt Petri cave Nickajack, and encouraged a sibling to marry him. This was Louisa Blont Blackledge (a widow who had lost her husband and all her children except 2 that were carried off by the Indians. She demanded constant reports of Telico Black house of her captured children.
Capt Gaspar Faught was in charge of the salt Petri mining at NICKAJACK cave. He fell in love with her and married her after losing his german wife (and mother of Samuel Faught, blind Sam and others). Gaspar and Louise had two sons for certain. Both born at Telico plains. One (William Blont Faught) at Nickajack cave which was then in Cherokee lands attached to Franklin CO, Georgia, and the other (Levi Bruce Faught)20 miles away at Telico block house, which became Tennessee, then Blont Co Tennessee, and was separated again and again. There is a site on the net that has Telico Block house pictures etc. The orginial block house is long gone, but the foundations of the rebuilt block houses are now a historic point of interest.
Both of Louisa Blont Blackledge Faught's sons by Gaspar Faught were baptized at the church near Telico Blockhouse. The records are still intact there.
Gaspar with help of Louisa's two brothers (both became Govenor of Tennessee) talked Gaspar into resigning from the Militia at Telico Block house and forming a business with another man mining the Salt Petre at Nickajack Cave. This party of men became very wealthy. Actually the Block house at Telico was really not much of a fort type block house, but a trade center with the miliary and the Cherokees.
I have accessed the Peaked Mountain Church records and have a patch work genealogy of Gaspar Faught who was born there, joined the military, came to Telico plais 1794, then after he retired he went to Giles Co Tennessee
There is another FAUGHT descent very interested, I will notify him of you. And in the mean while........
(1 417 345 5976)
Email me your email and I will have him contact you. He recently retired and moved to Telico Plains and lives near the old Block house ruins. Seems that the three of us have A LOT IN COMMON TO DISCUSS!
GREAT GRANDPA always deneyed that the faughts had cherokee blood, but others in the family said that this was not so, Nancy Cook was married to William Riddle of giles Co, Tenn before she had a son by Levi Bruce Faught and then moved away to Arkansas. She is buried at Deer. But no grave for Levi.

You have the children of John Harrison Faught mixed up with Gaspar Faught that was born Peaked Mountain, Virginia (four geneations of Faughts there at the German Church).
William Blont Faught was the first son of Louisa Blont Widow Blacklier and was named for her father's surname BLONT. Her second husband was Gaspar Faught. Your John Harrison Faught is a kin but not the father of William Blont Faught that was born at Nickajack Cave 1799, Cherokee lands attached to Franklin Co, Georgia. Williams brother Levi Bruce Faught was born 20 miles away at Telico Block house (all this is located in Telico Plains.) Samual born 1790 at Peaked Mountain, Virginia and was from a German wife of Gaspar. These births can be verifite at the German Church at Peaked mountain, Virginia and at the church at Telico Block house Tennessee.

the 1/2 brother of William Blont Faught named Levi Bruce Faught married Nancy Cook (Rev Brown, the Indian chief and on the Cherokee rolls) is your connection to the Cherokees. She died in Deer Arkansas.....she was first married to William Riddle and had children by him.

Everybody seemed to be happy on the Kansas bench last season. Bill Self was certainly pleased with the way his team ran roughshod to an eighth straight Big 12 title. All his players were content, too, because they understood their roles, and that seven or eight of them were going to carry the load on a night-by-night basis. There could be quite a bit more discontent this season, at least early on, and Self believes that's just as good as the positive vibes that enveloped the program last year. The reason? There are about a dozen guys who could be vying for playing time. ''This year will be a little different,'' Self conceded just a few days into preseason practice. ''We'll have some guys disappointed this year because they're pretty good.'' Pretty young, too. All-American Thomas Robinson left a year early for the NBA, and veteran guards Tyshawn Taylor and Connor Teahan have graduated. Stepping into their place will be nine freshmen, if you count walk-ons, several of whom will ...

Psychosocial Stress,
Social Networks, and
Susceptibility to Infection
During the past several decades, support has grown for the premise that psychological and social factors can influence physical health. This includes evidence that enduring stressful life events and prolonged negative moods (e.g., depression, anxiety, anger) can increase risk for physical illness and early death (e.g., reviews by Booth-Kewley & Friedman, 1987; Cohen & Williamson, 1991; Schneiderman et al., 1989). It also includes evidence that those who participate in diverse social networks that include family, friends, workmates, neighbors, and fellow members of social and religious groups live longer and healthier lives than their less socially adept counterparts (e.g., Berkman & Syme, 1979; House et al., 1988; Vogt et al., 1992).
My own interests in this area have focused on the potential impact of psychological and social factors on the immune system, and consequently on our ability to fight off infectious disease. Here I begin by providing a selective overview of the evidence for the effects of psychosocial factors on the functional capabilities of the immune system. I then discuss similar data linking these same factors to the onset and progression of infectious disease. I provide only cursory reviews and refer the reader to Cohen and Herbert (1996), Cohen, Miller, et al. (2001), and Herbert and Cohen
