Best for Beginners
This palette is a good palette for beginners, not (somewhat) experienced makeup junkies. Yes, 20 eyeshadows for $20 is a good deal. But, for example, I can get 8 eyeshadows for $5 by Wet N Wild and they are more pigmented. The fallout on these shadows is low, but the variety is also low. Although there are 20 shades, all looks turn out the same. Long story short, save your money and invest in a more expensive palette unless you are a beginner, then this palette would be just fine.
Pros: good value (20 for $20); little fallout
Cons: small differentiation of shades; not extremely pigmented

These are the best shadows I have ever used-hands down. Now, with that said, I do not own any high end eyeshadows. I have, however, owned a multitude of drugstore eyeshadows and NONE of them are even a fraction of the quality that these are. I have swatched high end eyeshadows in store and never purchased them because honestly, I do not see any difference between them and these eyeshadows. Every single one of these shadows is incredibly pigmented and blendable. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A NAKED PALETTE. You get more shadows in this one, as well.

I bought this and revealed 2 after watching KathleenLights video about it and I DO NOT REGRET IT ONE BIT. The quality and blendability of these shadows is amazing, some of the shades are even better than the Urban Decay ones. You really cannot go wrong. I had both 2 and 3 naked palettes and I returned them for their bad quality. These, I would repurchase in a heartbeat.

The best! Even for beginners.
I'm still very new to the whole makeup world but I started expensive and worked my way down (don't do that!) I learned a very expensive lesson but found love in this palette! I love how easy it goes on and how long it stays without moving to the creases in my eyes like most makeup seems to do with me. I adore this set and even as a very very pale person this doesnt overwhelm my features. 10/10 would buy again.

Great purchase for a basic nude palette
I really enjoyed my Revealed palette. I thought that the quality was better than my The Balm Nude Tude palette! Although I like the shadows enough and was using them pretty consistently, I don't think it blew me away. I think it is convenient make up item to take on trips and such but none of the shades are particularly unique or extremely gorgeous in my opinion. I think they are all pretty simple and basic. With that said, the quality of the shadows are very nice and great for the price. Some of the darker shades somewhat disappointed me because they are not as dark as I had thought. People who would like this palette might be beginners who are wanting to build onto the eye shadow collection without spending too much.

Great palette!
This is a fantastic palette! I only wish there were more matte shades for blending through the crease. But that still isn't a big enough complaint to give it any less than 5 stars!

I love this palette. The colors are beautiful, pigmented, and the price can't be beat. I think anyone would be happy with this palette.

In love
This product was by far the best palette I've ever bought. It's a dupe of the Naked palette and I do have to say that for a dupe it has such high quality and I am so grateful and happy that I bought it for only $20. I use it everyday and when it runs out I will buy it again.

Re: Transformers: Dark of the Moon - Discuss, Grading, Reviews (SPOILE
My favorite put-down at the moment is the last two paragraphs of the
Village Voice review
The plot? Come on, are you really going to do this to me? I didn't even bother to see
Transformers: The Second One
, although it is possible I watched a great deal of it, without sound, on the airplane screen of a passenger sitting a row ahead of me that one time. Something about the moon and a space-time bridge and a new Transformer, Sentinel Prime, who is basically Optimus Prime's dad (although they're robots, so it's unclear how that works). Sentinel is voiced by Leonard Nimoy, appropriately sepulchral. A bunch of robots fight a bunch of other robots, and you can't tell which are the good robots and which are the bad robots because they all look alike, you robot racist.
The people who you think might be evil turn out to be evil. Humanity triumphs. Optimus Prime gives a speech. Chicago burns. Your brain cells perish by the thousands, their howls of agony lost to the cacophony inside your skull. Vast quantities of money, roughly equal to the GDP of Tonga, travel from America's wallets into the coffers of Paramount. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's ass returns to its home planet to report that Earth is ripe for the plucking. Enjoy it while you can!
"Robot racist." Nice.

Oklahoma Sooners' 2014 schedule game-by-game analysis
Photo: Wesley Hitt/Getty Images
Sat, Oct 4 – @ TCU – TCU played the Sooners close in each of the last two years, but the Sooners benefit from getting the Frogs early on in the year. TCU will have a new quarterback under center in a new offense, so the Sooner defense will have the advantage here. The Sooners are 8-4 all-time against the Horned Frogs. Likely record: 5-0.

November 30, 2015
DENVER (AP) -- The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission has voted to require new oil and gas wells to be drilled at least 500 feet from homes and buildings.
The new setback replaces a 350-foot rule that opponents said were jeopardizing public health.
According to the Denver Post (http://tinyurl.com/aeth2yz) the oil and gas industry opposed the bigger setbacks, saying it may make it more difficult to develop resources.

Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
The mostly rectangular shape of the Big Agnes Lulu Women's 15-Degree Synthetic Sleeping Bag gives you room to sleep in more positions than just on your back mummy-style. The Lulu's not a superlight expedition bag, but it does pack a punch with synthetic Integrity insulation that's warm to 15 degrees, as well as an Insotect Tubic vertical baffle construction that provides more loft, trapping more air and therefore supplying more warmth. It also stays warm when it gets soggy, something down insulation doesn't do. Since it's not made for super-long trips, the Lulu sacrificed a little bit of weight to provide more room, with a rectangular shape and extra space in the hip and feet areas, which provides better warmth as well as a more comfortable fit. It saves even more poundage by eliminating traditional ground insulation, instead keeping you warm by requiring a sleeping pad that slides into the integrated pad pocket, insulating you from the ground more effectively than traditional constructions. It keeps cold air at bay with a no-draft collar, zipper, and wedge to keep your mom, your sister, or your friend warm and on the pad all night long. Given its pillow pocket and soft nylon taffeta lining, they might just end up staying in it all day, too.
- Backcountry.com
The Big Agnes Lulu Sleeping Bag is a synthetic version of the popular Big Agnes Roxy Anne Sleeping Bag. For this women's specific bag Big Agnes has added extra room in the waist and additional down fill in the foot and core area. They created the petite size to fit women 5 ft 8 in and shorter. All Big Agnes Sleeping bags require a pad for insulation on the bottom. The Petite size use a regular 20 x 66 in pad and the Regular size uses a regular 20 x 72 in pad. Insotect Tubic is a revolutionary tubular insulation system engineered to provide the maximum cubic loft for supreme thermal efficiency and user comfort. Through its innovative design and construction, Insotect Tubic delivers performance benefits that make gear significantly loftier, warmer & more durable. Superior thermal efficiency - the significant air space created by the DualVault and Vertical Thermal Channel delivers the best thermal efficiency.

This roomy rectangular bag features an integrated sleeve that accepts sleeping pads up to 20 inches wide, so you'll never roll off your pad again.

Great soap!
Tea Tree Skin Care Soap review posted by Ron on 11/5/11
I've been using this soap for several years. The tea tree smell isn't overpowering. I'm glad I discovered SuperSupplements because not many health food stores carry this product. Those that do usually only carry the soap in the single bar. Too expensive that way. It's a much better deal to buy the 3-pack. Now I don't have to "special order" the soap at the health food store and pay them a much higher price. Thanks again, SuperSup.

Bland as clear broth, this dining room lacked spice. A three-step makeover adds piquant tang with a generous dash of exotic flavor.
With generous proportions, handsome floors, and a distinctive niche, this dining room has loads of latent promise. But the room is too neutral, the floor blends with the furniture, and the lighting fixtures and draperies are wimpy. The dining set is a gorgeous choice for an inspiration piece. Its striking Chinese Chippendale style is timeless and suggests a design direction for the room. The table is set with simple china and crystal that, while a little too understated, create a solid foundation upon which to build.
The alcove is a terrific feature that increases serving space, creates a natural focal point, and balances the room's pair of tall windows. The arrangement within the alcove, however, underwhelms. The console table is beautiful but underscaled for the niche. The mirror is dowdy and the spindly lamps belong in another house entirely. Walls and window treatments have the clout to make or break a room and in this case, it's the latter. Dining rooms offer the perfect canvas for invigorating color, but this room's beige-and-white scheme plays it far too safe. The windows' drama is stifled by timid draperies that melt into the walls.
When shopping for china or dinnerware, first evaluate your lifestyle. Will the dishes be used only on special occasions or do you want something you can enjoy routinely and dress up for the holidays? White plates with a simple edge design are the easiest to coordinate with a variety of layering pieces. When choosing accent items, take cues from your dining room: Hand-glazed stoneware may be great on an Arts and Crafts table but odd on a Chippendale.
The dining table is twice as commanding when anchored by an eye-catching rug. The subtle Greek key pattern echoes the chairs' fretwork, while the anything-but-subtle coral hue establishes the table as a focal point. A black pendant lamp adds dramatic scale with a contemporary twist. Walls and window treatments haven't changed dramatically -- they're often among the final touches in a room's decor. The tired sheer panels have been replaced with simple white shades, while the bold new rug cues the need for more color.
The alcove houses a modern interpretation of a Chinese altar table that serves as a bar, while the handsome console table has found a better fit on the adjacent wall. Dragonfly prints -- Web clip art framed in faux gold-leaf molding -- reinforce the dining room's budding Asian aesthetic.
Accent plates don't have to be precious; look for distinctive dishes at import stores and catalog retailers. Chargers lend heft to a place setting and present an opportunity to incorporate contrasting materials, such as lacquer or metal, or shapes, such as squares.
With the furniture in place, it's the windows, walls, and accessories that propel this dining room past the finish line. Timid beige is ousted by swaggering color and pattern, and the tall windows finally receive their due. The table sets the stage for a chic evening. The simple white china is layered with graphic peony-pattern dinnerware, and votive holders are filled with marzipan favors. The runner fabric is a mid-century classic, but its crisp black-and-white geometry is perfect in the room's mix.
Seek out unexpected accents for the table -- decorative votive holders make clever personal candy dishes.
The alcove is clad with boards to suggest the grid of a shoji screen. The altar table is bracketed by sculptural lamps that make a big statement. Unusual in a dining room, the floor lamps are an unexpected choice that ups the style quotient. A mirror framed in back-painted glass lends an exotic air.
Walls and window treatments make all the difference in this makeover. Daring and glamorous, this wallpaper is certainly no wallflower. The bright orange and pink balance the rug, while black and white accents keep the powerful paper from going over the top.
Towering draperies play up the great windows and mirror the painted-white alcove. Black grosgrain trim echoes the chairs' fretwork, incorporates the rug's Greek key design, and adds a contemporary twist on a classic Asian motif.

Australia's favourite balancer feed
New to the amazing world of HYGAIN BALANCED? Don't worry we have done our best to provide you all the info you need on this efficient and economical feed that simply makes life easy!
BALANCED is a pelleted all-round, low dose balancer feed concentrate that provides high levels of Vitamin E and Selenium for cell health, Biotin for hoof and coat health, Chelated Minerals, quality protein and essential amino acids for muscle development.
BALANCED is extremely versatile in its use and is ideal for good doers, horse's on a pasture only diet, horse's receiving a home mixed diet which requires balanced vitamin and mineral levels or to top up premixed feeds when they aren't fed at the required levels.
BALANCED does not only have an amazing nutrient profile and is ideal for a wide range of horses, it is also economical in its use. You generally get 40 feeds out of one bag, based on a 500kg horse in maintenance at 500g per day, which is definitely a case of a little goes a long way!
Australia's favourite balancer feed!
|Crude Protein 25 %
|Calcium 3.2%
|Crude Fat 4%
|Phosphorus 1.6 %
|Max Crude Fibre 10%
|Lysine 20 g/kg
|Added Salt 1.5%
|Vitamin E 1500 IU/kg
HYGAIN® BALANCED® is a blend of the following quality ingredients:
Soya Bean Meal, Canola Meal, MICRLUPINS®, MICRMAIZE®, MICRWHEAT®, Calcium Carbonate, Di Calcium Phosphate, Magnesium Oxide, Salt, Bio-Mos®, HYGAIN® Vitamin and Chelated Mineral Premix, Bio-Available Selenium, Lysine, Methionine, Natural Vitamin E, Yea Sacc®1026 (APVMA App. No. 40538) and Biotin.
Bio-Available Selenium – Selenium acts as an antioxidant to prevent fatty acid oxidation which can cause tissue damage. Research has shown that Sel-Plex®, an organic form of selenium, is more readily absorbed and retained than selenium in inorganic forms.
Bio-Mos® – Bio-Mos® is a unique form of Mannan Oligosaccharides derived from the outer cell wall of a select strain of yeast using a proprietary process developed by Alltech. Bio-Mos® has a defined mode of action and is incorporated in BALANCED® to maintain gut health and immune system function supporting natural defences essential for optimum performance.
Biotin – Biotin, a water soluble vitamin is required by the enzymes responsible for protein synthesis and as a result is an essential vitamin for the healthy growth of hair and hooves. Research has shown that biotin improves skin and coat condition, increases hoof integrity and is widely recommended by farriers, veterinarians and scientists.
Natural Vitamin E – This unique and highly stable form of Natural Vitamin E known as RRR-a-tocopherol is up to 5 times more bio available and potent than regular synthetic sources of Vitamin E. Research has shown that this form of Natural Vitamin E provides higher retention levels in plasma further aiding antioxidant, immune, cardiovascular, circulatory, neuromuscular and reproductive functions.
Yea Sacc®1026 – Yea Sacc®1026 is a live yeast culture derived from the specific yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1026. The addition of Yea Sacc®1026 to equine diets increases fibre, phosphorus and calcium digestibility in mares, and increases gross energy, total lipids and amino acid absorption. Improves milk availability to foals if administered for 3-4 weeks before and throughout the lactation period.
HYGAIN® BALANCED® is formulated as a concentrate and contains quality protein for fertility and reproduction, essential amino acids for muscle building, along with balanced levels of critical macro and micro trace minerals for sound skeletal development and Bio-Mos® for optimum gut health and immune system defences.
HYGAIN® BALANCED® can be fed on its own when horses do not require additional grain or used to balance home mixed diets or top up premixed feeds when not used to recommended levels
Adjust grain intake according to pregnancy and lactation status, age, breed, growth rate, body condition, work load and pasture/hay availability and quality.
If horses are obese, laminitic or suffering from developmental orthopaedic disease remove grain from the diet and feed HYGAIN® BALANCED® with chaff and or hay. Seek professional advice.

–verb (used with object)
1. to disturb persistently; torment, as with troubles or cares; bother continually; pester; persecute.
2. to trouble by repeated attacks, incursions, etc., as in war or hostilities; harry; raid.
3. to repeatedly give cyclists tickets for legal behavior, e.g. speeding tickets for legal speeds in an empty park, or riding without a helmet.
That said the way it works in NYC is the powers that be decide to "crack down" on the cyclists. The things they need to get a handle on is the riding the wrong way, deliverymen riding the sidewalks, running red lights on congested avenues, etc...
The way the precinct commanders deal with the edict is to place these dumb as crap beat cops in places where they can snooker the most amount of cyclists in the easiest way possible - commuters coming off a bridge, Central Park at 6AM, somebody running red lights or a stop sign on a bike path in the far Rockaway's, parking a squad car in a bike lane causing cyclists to move into to traffic solely to be able to write tickets for not riding in the bike lane, etc..., I.E. not where it will actually do some good, but instead where the cops can rack up the most amount of tickets with the least amount of manpower expended. Makes the precinct commanders look good with the numbers but does zip to actually solve the problems and just alienates cyclists like myself who then come to the prejudicial opinion that all beat cops are idiots.
"They took my license, issued the summons and told me to ride safely in the park. "
I never have understood the license thing. What has a driver's license got to do with a bicycle? Does a moving violation count against the license like it would in a car? What about those who do not have a driver's license? Are you required to show a driver's license if you are on a bicycle?

No, you are not required to carry a driver's license to operate a bicycle, but when out and about you need to carry a valid form of identification or the police can take you to the local precinct to verify your address. A summons is in lieu of arrest, issued on the spot in an effort to save time...generally issued for infractions of law.

Ugh, yeah. I was out there on Tuesday, part of a group of cyclists being tailed by a cop car with flashing lights. It was ridiculous and obviously nothing more than an attempt to intimidate cyclists.
Happy-ish ending:
Police Apologize for Central Park Cyclist's Ticket (NYT)
Cops Apologize for Ticketing 9 out of 10 Central Park Cyclists (gothamist)
Because no, the speed limit actually is 25 mph. It pays to be vocal!
"At least they didn't get me doing an interval workout," says the one guy whose ticket was not revoked (28 mph).
Would it kill the NYPD to learn the laws they are "enforcing?"
This is all, as BTW, from the NY Times article.
From Wikipedia...
"In this sense, the word fascist is intended to mean "oppressive", "intolerant", "chauvinist", "genocidal", "dictatorial", "racist", or "aggressive" – all concepts that are allegedly inspired by the ideology of actual fascism, and pervasive through fascist states. One might accuse an inconveniently placed police roadblock as being a "fascist tactic" for its perceived oppresion or interloping, or an overly authoritarian teacher as being "a total fascist". Terms like Nazi and Hitlerite, are often used in similar contexts."
New Zealand is looking better every day.
cyclist speed limit is 25 mph, and i have never, ever seen these fabled 15 mph signs. I did a cursory search over the NYC Administrative Code and found nothing about 15 mph in the relevant section.
The real issue is not the speed limit but why.
At 6:30 AM the only reason to set-up a speed trap for bikes is to harass cyclist.
Someone relatively senior in NYC Police force has decided to harass cyclist. Where is the Mayor and the police chief, cyclist are not the problem.

Furthermore, they revoked all those tickets not because they were sorry, or that they didn't believe in the speed limit, but because they filled out the tickets incorrectly. You can't issue a summons to appear in Traffic Court b/c it was inside a park, where the offender could fight it by mail instead.
All this makes me want to buy a helmet cam & have it constantly recording.

Sheppard Robson
Sheppard Robson has been given the green light for this office development in front of Victoria Station in London. Westminster council rubber-stamped the nine-storey scheme, which will replace two existing buildings. At the north end of the building, the upper floors are set back to produce a floating canopy - a feature that has already been dubbed 'the bonnet'. Below ground, the existing basement will be given over to Transport for London as part of proposals for a new entrance to Victoria underground station.

Photos: Week 10 awards – Aggies impress, TCU comes up clutch, and UT's Mike Davis burns Tech
Photo: Michael C. Johnson-US PRESSWIRE/US PRESSWIRE
Most surprising performance: Texas Tech – The Red Raiders seemed to be in great position to beat Texas, facing a struggling Horns team in Lubbock. And while Texas Tech wasn't terrible, they just weren't quite good enough, either. Penalties at crucial moments killed any moment, and the defense got burned by some big plays, the most notable being a 75-yard TD by Mike Davis. It was the sort of effort for Tech we might've expected before the season, but after watching the Raiders put themselves in the thick of the Big 12 race through the season's first three months, it was a disappointing game that lacked precision and energy for TTU.

Blu-ray review: 'A Boy and His Dog'
Don't let the title fool you. "A Boy and His Dog" is not about a constantly whining collie hanging around some kid named Jeff or Timmy. Not this low-budget 1975 sci-fi cult
The landscape is desolate in the wake of World War IV, which "lasted five days," and dangerous, thanks to gangs of murderous scavengers and horrific mutations called "screamers." Blood warns Vic when danger is near, and alerts him to the possibility of sex with any female who might be nearby as well. In exchange, Vic finds food for Blood.
Boy and dog are constantly bickering and digging at each other, especially when Vic doesn't heed Blood's advice, and this endless verbal — well, telepathic — sniping supplies this dark film's wicked humor:
"Pearls before swine," Blood gripes. "All my directives go unregarded. Sometimes you're just as ignorant as any other common rover. One indication of a female and it's caution to the wind. The eyes glaze, the glands swell and the brain freezes."
But then one day, Blood goes on point: "Hold. Female. Hundred and twenty-five yards. Solo."
Vic meets the suspiciously compliant Quilla June (Susanne Benton), and after some marathon sex (much to Blood's disgust) and a narrow escape from a pack of screamers, the girl persuades the boy to leave his dog behind – his only true friend in this burned-out world – as she lures him into a surreal subterranean city. This underground world is overseen by a seemingly benevolent leader, Craddock (the always excellent Jason Robards Jr.), and Vic is at first elated to find a colony of survivors, until he discovers that this place is definitely not what he's been looking for.
Based on a prize-winning novella by Harlan Ellison, one of the most cantankerous intellectuals working in the field of speculative fiction, the film was adapted for the screen and directed by the most unlikely of individuals, L.Q. Jones, the Texas-born character actor who usually played "redneck peckerwood" types in war movies and Westerns. (Character actor Alvy Moore of "Green Acres" fame also pitched in on the screenplay.) Ellison allowed this because he had come down with a bad case of writer's block trying to pen the screenplay himself.
The relationship between Ellison and Jones was extremely contentious at the time the film was made, which is revealed in a fascinating and sometimes hilarious conversation between the two in one of the Blu-ray/DVD set's special features.
The film version of "A Boy and His Dog" has been criticized for certain misogynistic elements that were not in the novella, and Ellison has disavowed having anything to do with this aspect of the screenplay. But whatever its shortcomings, the film remains one of the most original, thought-provoking and pitch-black funny sci-fi fables ever made, serving as a template for all the post-apocalyptic films that followed. Its faithful cult following is well-deserved.

Arthur's Seat
I was going to tell you about volcanic plugs and St Anthony's well, about James Hogg's Confessions and the brocken-spectre, but as soon as I got here this morning I knew it was just about the hill and me. Arthur's Seat lies at the heart of Edinburgh, and since I've lived here, it's been at the heart of my life as well. I can see it from the back window of my home, and I've walked here with countless friends, with my dad and with my sister. It is a place of happiness and exuberance: Tom and I like to run around the hill in all conditions in our trusty fell shoes; we bury our home brewed mead in a secret place , and merrily drink it here each Christmas morning. Spectacular from all angles, and visible almost everywhere in the city, the hill has also provided a dramatic backdrop for many a crafty photo.
But Arthur's Seat is a place with sad associations, too: a few years ago, a fine young man who was my childhood friend threw himself to his death from the nearby crags. And shortly after Belle died, Tom brought his own grieving brother to the summit.
In comparison with Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh's other hills really do not feel like hills at all. At 823 feet it is not high, but the ground is steep, and very rough in places. For someone with a wonky leg and limited energy reserves, it is quite a serious proposition.
I found the going very tough indeed, and all I could think of was: I used to just run up here
How complacent and ungrateful was the able-bodied me, how little she valued her nimble, speedy limbs. Weak and unsteady as they are, I value my limbs now, by God.
It was early morning, and the summit took on a spooky aspect against the rising sun.
I wanted to follow our usual route, which is quite steep and rocky near the top. I abandoned the poles, and resorted to lopsided scrambling on my hands and knees.
Made it, Ma.
The last of the seven hills. The highest point in Edinburgh. I felt deeply emotional, but not in the least triumphant. It had been a difficult climb, and, precisely because the hill is so familiar, the comparison with the me of just a few months ago felt quite raw and painful.
At the summit, a nice young, American couple, who had risen with the dawn like us, asked Tom to take their photo.
"Do you know how high we are?"
"251 metres"
"Are you local to Edinburgh? Do you often come up here?"
"Well we did, but Kate has had a stroke. We're just getting back into the swing of things again."
I managed to hold it together for a photo at the trig point.
then it was time to inch my way back down.
As I descended I realised that, though my weak leg was very shaky, it was really much better than it had been when we climbed Blackford Hill, only a few weeks ago. I had to regard this as a walk of new beginnings, rather than old memories.
Bruce frolicked in the grass . . .
. . . and lost his ball.
The tourists were starting to come up as we were coming down. Kids on a geography field trip clutched clipboards and pencils. An Italian asked her tour guide about Edinburgh's seven hills. Everyone stopped us to remark on the lovely morning. . .
. . . and, in the end, it really was.
Hill number 6 is Craiglockhart, which lies in the South of Edinburgh, behind Morningside. More of a rolling, rising piece of land than a hill proper, much of the walking to be had around Craiglockart is in the grounds of a "giant Italian villa" – which began life in 1880 as a hydropathic institute, capitalising on the late-Victorian fashion for health cures. According to a brochure advertising the institution:
"The establishment affords to its residents all the amenities and retirement of quiet country life. . . and the further privilege of wandering over the picturesquely wooded hill adjoining which was laid out some years ago at considerable expense with winding paths and pleasant resting spots."
You can still wander around said "picturesquely wooded hill", as long, of course, if you avoid the fenced-off, carefully manicured areas which have been set aside for yet another golf course.
From the portions of Craiglockhart upon which one is allowed to ramble freely, there are fine views of many of Edinburgh's other hills, including Corstorphine:
(note the Forth Bridges to the left on the horizon)
Castle Hill:
And Arthur's Seat, (assuming, from this angle, a most elephantine aspect):
The "giant Italian villa" is now part of Napier University, but it is perhaps best known for being the place where poets Wilfrid Owen and Siegfried Sassoon met. During the First World War, Craiglockhart was used as a place of respite for the many hundreds of seriously traumatised soldiers who had survived the Somme. Records show that the hospital administrators were unwilling to recognise shell-shock as a legitimate and prevalent disorder, and instead classified their patients with trivial diagnoses which ranged from piles to a broken toe. At Craiglockhart, Wilfrid Owen edited the hospital's magazine, The Hydra, to which Sassoon contributed this famous poem. Napier's library (housed in the former hospital) includes a special collection of war poetry, and an accompanying exhibition.
Rather than the prospect view, on Craiglockhart, I found my camera most attracted by the undergrowth: by dried-out husks of willowherb, and black, blasted gorse
Bruce also enjoyed the undergrowth . . .
. . . and did his best to steal the show
. . . but this is my favourite of the photographs I took on Craiglockhart.
There's something about the light today that I find very particular to this time of year: a season I generally associate with introducing nineteen year-olds to Addison and Steele, to Pope and Thomson. Indeed, this is the first time in 34 years that Autumn has not signalled, in one way or another, the moment to go back to school. I still find it surprising and curious that at the moment my main business is my recovery, accompanied by a bit of knitting. . . but there we go. I have been working on the Tortoise and the Hare, and should have a new cardigan to show you next week – I was hoping to finish it sooner, but rather underestimated how long it would take the new, slow me to produce sleeves on 3mm needles. . . and as well as completing a garment, next weekend I also hope to haul my wonky ass up hill number 7 – celebrations all round, I reckon.
ETA: I mustn't forget to mention that I've been updating the correspondence archive – I've not quite finished, and there are still quite a few cards, letters and objects to add and catalogue, but I'm getting there. Also, I still intend to write with thanks to all of those who sent me an address – this may take some time, but I shall get round to it. Thankyou again, everyone.
Corstorphine Hill
Autumn seems to have arrived while we were away. The plums on Jesus's tree have been turned into jam, the brambles in the local hedgerows are all but gone, and the rosebay willowherb has blown spectacularly to seed. It seemed the right sort of time to ascend Corstorphine, which has, perhaps, the most woodland character of all of Edinburgh's hills. Corstorphine is really more of a ridge than a hill proper – a glacial fold to the West of the city. The lower slopes of the ridge house the zoo, and the sprawl of housing created as the city expanded over the last century. The upper slopes are home to the remains of a neolithic settlement, and a stone tower of much more recent construction, dedicated, as so many things about these parts, to Sir Walter Scott.
Scott is an appropriate figure to think of on Corstorphine Hill which, with shady nooks of beech and fir, giant slabs of bare dolerite, and brief, tantalising views, is just the sort of place that the folk of his generation might contrive for a picturesque ramble. And like many picturesque spots, Corstorphine can also seem to invite a certain mis-reading. While the woodland looks relatively wild, it is a managed landscape, and until relatively recently, a working one as well. What you see to the right might seem to be the ivy-covered ruins of ancient structures, but are actually stones rejected from the quarry which used to operate on the hillside.
There is an orienteering course set up around the hill, and you can see one of the controls to the left of this obligatory Bruce obedience photo. The last time I came walking on Corstorphine was several years ago after Tom insisted that I do something to improve my navigation skills. I have no sense of direction — that is to say, I suffer from the mistaken and often unshakeable belief that I am going the right way, without doing what one should when there is any doubt at all, viz, consult the map. Tom has become exasperated with this on more than one occasion — I think the final straw was when, in poor visibility on the top of a munro, I absolutely insisted that we follow some footprints I could see in front of me in the snow. After this, he was (understandably) concerned at the prospect of my getting lost on an independent expedition, and I recall that I, grudgingly, and not with a very good grace, managed to find my way about Corstorphine's woods with a compass and controls.
Today the challenges of Corstorphine were of a rather different kind. I was very grateful for the walking poles — there are lots of steep inclines, and several places in the woods where one has to pick one's way over slippery rocks and tree roots.
I doubt I'd have been able to manage such manoeuvres even a couple of weeks ago. I think that the swimming has improved stroke-leg's strength and control considerably. At some point, I shall video myself walking — I've not had the gumption to do this so far, as I feel so damn wonky and ungainly — but, as with the swimming, I imagine it may help if I can actually see any small improvements in my gait.
In the dark of the woods, the turning beech leaves seemed almost luminous. . .
. . . and you emerge from the shade to bright glimpses of the city beyond.
The interesting cone that you can see on the horizon to the right of this photo is North Berwick Law — the first hill I intend to ascend after completing Edinburgh's seven. Anyway, we all had a fine ramble about Corstorphine on a lovely early-Autumn day, and Bruce, as you can imagine, absolutely loves the woods.
Five down, two to go . . .
The Braids
Hill four of the seven is Braid Hill, or in local parlance, The Braids. Rising from a wooded valley floor to an undulating hillside a couple of miles south of Edinburgh, The Braids are part managed parkland, part urban corridor. By day, a place for golf buddies and walkers; by night, the hideout of youths and foxes. With its rosebay willowherb and corners of abandoned furniture, the landscape reminds me of the canal-side walks of my childhood, but it can feel quite remote at times at well. Tom often runs here, and occasionally crosses paths with a startled deer — it is a marginal sort of place where you feel that you are just about to leave the city. Edinburgh's eighteenth-century poets regarded The Braids as a rural retreat: it was one of Burns' favourite walking spots, and Robert Fergusson wrote a rather conventional pastoral in which he counseled his readers to forget "the city's allurements" and "to this spot of enchantment retire." But my favourite Braids-inspired poem is from the hand of a far less-well-known local writer, Rebekkah Carmichael, who in 1790 chose The Braids as the setting for a curious poetic re-enactment of the Choice of Hercules.
Thankfully I did not have to make a choice between Pleasure and Virtue today – in fact, my walk seemed to involve both. The Hedgerows were glorious. I enjoyed having my macro lens to photograph late blooms . . .
. . . and new fruits
Bruce came too.
The walk was certainly a challenge — the ground was thankfully even underfoot, but with over a mile of steady ascent, things were a bit more tricky than Blackford . . .
We had a wee rest at the top. There's Castle Hill, in the patch of sunlight behind me.
This was quite a tough walk for me, and I will probably now be bushed for the next couple of days, but I have to say I much prefer a bit of exertion followed by rest, to the interminable purgatory that is pacing oneself. That's just me, though – and it is so nice to ramble about the landscape again on a lovely late-summer's day, beneath Edinburgh's shifting skies, with my man and my dog.
Look! The Pentlands! One day not too far away, perhaps . . .
Blackford Hill
Time for the third of the seven hills. Blackford sits to the South of Edinburgh and though the hill is not at all steep, the terrain is rough in places. On Calton or Castle Hill, one is definitely walking in the city – not so here. I thought I'd try using two walking poles today: this would support me on the descent, and also give my left arm something to do. I've noticed that when my legs are having to make more of an effort – such as when walking up a hill – that the left arm tends to forget its duties and droops limply at my side. But with two poles, the arm must be fully involved in the walking at all times! Involve the arm!
I am really not the most co-ordinated of creatures with two poles, but once I'd got going it was fine.
Blackford Hill is most notable for being home to the Royal Observatory, which you would be able to see if it wasn't having a face-lift . . .
But for me the summit of the hill has another signficance. . .
I could see the top of Blackford Hill from the Astley Ainsley Hospital. Many's the time during my interment that I'd gaze out and wish to be up there rather than down here. Tom works nearby, and at lunchtimes he would go for a run and phone me at the hospital when he got to the top. If I stood at a particular place by a particular window on the ward, I could see his small figure gaily waving to me from the summit. How I wished that I could join him!
. . . and now I can. It felt damn good to be up here rather than down there.
There are excellent views to the North and East. From this angle, Mead Mountain assumes an interesting aspect, like a beast at rest. Some say that it resembles a sleeping lion.
The poles were very welcome on the descent. I will have to work at building up my strength at going down . . .
. . . my legs had turned to jelly by this point.
After our walk, we popped into Morningside to buy supplies: ingredients for a special fruit cake; tea from Falko (I am addicted); and a muthaload of cheese from Mellis's. Tom set to work on the cake when we returned. . .
This is what Pru Leith recommends to prevent uneven cooking. A couple of old issues of Private Eye seem to work just fine.
The tea and cheese and cake are rations for my trip – I am going away for a few days to a nice-looking pad that Mel found for us all to stay in near Stirling. I shall be attending a class on Tuesday, and will probably be knocking around the, um, 'marketplace' at the weekend, but mostly I am just going to spend some quality time with my favourite knitting comrades. Stop me and say hello if you see me!
Calton Hill
A couple of days of bed rest is enough for me. Now that the incision wound in my thigh is feeling less tender, it is time to crack on with my seven hills of Edinburgh project! You will recall that I've only managed one of these so far, but now the hole in my heart is closed, there will definitely be no stopping me. I've recently been fitted out with some new orthotics to correct my over-pronating ankle – the effect of the stroke on my left foot has been made worse by my naturally flat and weirdly large plates o' meat – but these new orthotics really help. In fact, I have found that I can now walk about a little without using the leg brace, which is very pleasing. My brace may well be a miracle of carbon-fibre engineering, but I really hate clumping along with a big, black, cumbersome object strapped to my shin, so I decided to attempt Calton Hill without it. I'm still very unsteady on my feet, though, so I used one of the walking poles that Tom gave me for my birthday for added support.
Calton Hill is not high, but because of its position in the city it has a distinctive sort of prominence. Once the site of a gibbet and a jail, over the course of the Nineteenth Century, the hilltop became home to a crazy jumble of unrelated structures, the most notorious of which is the unfinished national monument (seen above), which was originally meant to commemorate Scotland's dead in the Napoleonic Wars. Other men have other monuments here too, including Nelson, whose memorial was apparently designed to resemble the admiral's telescope. This architectural conceit, according to Robert Louis Stevenson, makes the Nelson monument "rank among the vilest of men's handiworks."* You can make up your own mind.
Today, folk come up here to explore the buildings, or to celebrate Beltane, but mostly for the views, which are tremendous in all seasons, weathers, and directions.
To the North, sunshine on Leith. . .
. . .and to the South, brooding skies over the old town, the Braids in the distance.
But my favourite monument on Calton Hill is not really part of the hill itself: it is the obelisk that you can see just right-of-centre in the photograph above, and it lies over the road in Old Calton Burial Ground. David Hume is buried here, but that's not who we came to see. . .
In Scotland, as elsewhere in Britain, one effect of the French Revolution was to unleash the forces of conservative reaction among supporters of the Government. In 1793 and 4, political repression came to a head in a series of Edinburgh show trials, whose purpose was to undercut and demoralise the burgeoning movement for parliamentary reform. With the assistance of a reactionary and corrupt judiciary, the Unitarian printer, Thomas Palmer, William Skirving, (the secretary of the Edinburgh Society of the Friends of the People) Maurice Margarot (member of the London Corresponding Society), Philadelphia lawyer, Joseph Gerrald, and, perhaps most famously, eloquent Scottish radical and advocate, Thomas Muir, were all convicted on spurious charges of sedition, and transported to Australia.**
When the foundation stone of Hamilton's monument to Scotland's political martyrs was finally laid in 1844, a massive Edinburgh crowd gathered to watch the ceremony on Calton Hill's south side.
The Political Martyrs monument is often overlooked, but I reckon it deserves a much more prominent place on the tourist map of Edinburgh.
After a highly successful walk up, down, and around Calton Hill, it was time for a reward, and not before time, as the sky was threatening rain. . .
There was a beer festival on at one of our favourite pubs, so we headed North . . .
The festival featured some fine Scottish ales, but we didn't hang around for the evening's entertainment (pictured left). I like to imagine them as the ultimate caucasian soul outfit, but they are probably just two blokes from Falkirk who look slightly alike.
It was a good afternoon.
And for those who are wondering, yes, that is the cycling jersey. It is a fun and perfectly wearable garment, but, to be honest, all is not quite well with it . . . after writing that terribly smug post about the importance of neat finishing &c &c, I found myself having a steeking disaster. I promise to explain all another time. . .

Well, there will be no hill walking for me this weekend. I've been absolutely bushed since our fun trek up and down the Royal Mile. My leg has been stiff and plagued with cramp and my arm is being very annoying – floating around in mid air and refusing to behave – which is what it likes to do when I am very tired. On Monday, I swapped around my summer and winter wardrobes. I generally enjoy this: it is always good to put away the grey things and to see brightly coloured cotton and linen again. The folding and packing, washing and hanging would usually be accomplished in a couple of hours, but on Monday it took me more than nine. I had to first ask Tom to retrieve the giant vacuum-packed packages because I couldn't climb the ladder or lift the damn things, and I then spent the entire day struggling with, and cursing at the clothes, the wardrobe, the washing machine, and the coat hangers. Because of the vertigo, I am not good at bending down; because my arm is weak, I am not good at hanging things up; because I tire quickly, nothing is easy. I had to keep taking breaks and lying down among mountains of unsorted clothes. (Believe me, I have a lot of clothes. All my own fault . . . ) It was horribly frustrating. By the time Tom came home, I had turned into a sort of frazzled zombie. But I had sorted out the clothes.
Now, I think I am doing a good job of pacing myself – breaking up tasks and exercise with frequent rest, going to bed very early etc – but clearly this isn't good enough. Today my limbs were so stiff and tired that I couldn't do my exercises. My physio then told me that I had to do less, and suggested that I keep off the hills for the time being. I agreed, but I can't tell you how hard this is going to be for me. Having physical goals to focus on and aim for really helps to keep me going, but apparently, at this stage, my goals are just far too ambitious. The real problem is that I was very, very happy to be walking up and down the Royal Mile on Saturday, just as I was overjoyed to walk the four miles to Lytham Windmill. Walking is such a pleasure because it makes me feel like me again. When I am moving about outside, I really feel that being mobile is a goal almost within reach. But I suppose it is no good being incredibly happy for an hour or so if it means that I'm going to be miserable and frustrated for several days afterward. And this is, unfortunately, what happens every time I'm out on my feet for a while: in the Botanical Gardens, on the Royal Mile, in Blackpool. After each walk, I pay for my pleasure with days of crazy fatigue and painful cramp. My physio cautions little and often, and I know that she is right, but I am just eager to get well and it is so incredibly hard to stop oneself from walking when one can.
So today I am feeling annoyed because, at the moment, the stroke is denying me so many things that I love; that make me happy; and that make me me. I can't walk to and from the allotment, and even if I could, clearing and planting involve bending, kneeling, and moving things around – activities that are difficult and unpleasant for me right now. Tom has no time for gardening because he is too busy performing all the household tasks we used to share. So the allotment is just left to the weeds. I can hardly bear to think about our poor neglected plot, and can't even bring myself to look in the direction of the allotments when I pass them in a taxi on the way to physio because I know it will upset me. Meanwhile, Spring is ticking by. At this lovely time of year, we would usually be spending our free days in the hills, and our evenings in a tent, but I know there will be no wild camping and walking for a very long time. I can knit or embroider (hurrah!) but only for short periods. It isn't easy, and my left arm and hand just turn wonky if I make them stick at it for too long. It's the same with reading, typing, or even taking a few pictures. I tire so damn quickly that I can only do things for slots of time that are frustratingly short. I haven't even had a single tasty home brewed beer since February. (I was told that booze is bad for brain injuries, and to stop drinking it, which seems sensible ). I am very motivated and happily not depressed: I can potter freely about my own space, and, unlike many of my friends in the Astley Ainslie, am now mobile and capable enough to continue my recovery in my own home. I have a supportive partner, family, and lots of friends and see recovery as a positive process. It also always helps to think and write about it here. But sometimes all there seems to be is my stroke, my rehabilitation , my fatigue and I am finding this frustrating.
So the seven hills will have to wait, and my new project is unfortunately going to have to be the tedious but necessary one of pacing myself. Processing the entries in the correspondence archive is very enjoyable, however, and something I can do during short snatches of time, so I can continue to focus on that project at least.* I can also dash off maudlin, ranty posts like this one and vent my spleen. Three months ago I was entirely paralysed on one side: I know I am recovering well, and that I am just being foolishly impatient when I feel as I do today. But then that is just me. In any case perhaps next time I will try to write about something knitting or textile related to remind myself that I can, and to take my mind off things.
* the fine knitted fellow who illustrates this post is the latest addition to the archive. He was made by my sister and looks how I feel.
gang trigly
The easiest of Edinburgh's hills (and therefore the first of my seven walks) is Castle Hill – the volcanic plug sitting at the highest point of the street that runs through the heart of the city's old town and which is known as the Royal Mile. Our ascent (which, incidentally, covers a Scots not an English mile, and is therefore slightly longer) began at Holyrood – the site of the new parliament and the old palace. On one side of the street are the signs of monarchical privilege:
(the Queen's golden unicorn rears it's hooves above Arthur's Seat / Mead Mountain)
And on the other, those of democracy:
(Hugh Macdiarmid's poem Edinburgh is one of many set into the walls of the Scottish Parliament Building)
I was accompanied by Tom and our good friend the Mule, who is visiting this weekend. The Royal Mile abounds with much "Traditional" Scottish fayre – you just can't move for bagpipes, whisky, tam o' shanters, and tartan of questionable quality and authenticity. . .
This particular bagpipe shop is the real deal, though.
Further up, we passed the memorial statue of Edinburgh poet, Robert Fergusson (who you may remember from this post and whose poem, Braid Claith, provides today's title). I was pleased to see him striding down the Cannongate as we were striding up, and stopped to say hello. Across the road is the White Horse bar which always puts me in mind of Dr Johnson. While staying here in 1773, he threw a sour glass of lemonade out of the window and almost got into a fight with a waiter. Things seemed a little quieter outside the Cannongate pubs today.
Here we are near the former site of the grim Old Tolbooth prison. . .
And speeding onward and upward as Cannongate turns into the High Street. . .
Walking became more tricky on the Lawnmarket (toward the top of the Royal Mile). Here the level pavement gives way to uneven cobbles which are difficult to pick one's way over with a wonky leg and stick. The crowds are also dense and unpredictable – tourists struggle with their suitcases and drift in and out of gift shops. . .
Approaching the castle, we resisted the temptation to shake hands with a William Wallace who seemed much more obliging than pugnacious. . .
I was tired by this point, and it was great to reach the castle. By now, it was noon, and had turned into a lovely day . . .
I had a rest while Tom and Mule went to find some "traditional" Scottish ice-cream. Then it was time to head back to Holyrood again. While the gradients on the way up actually weren't much of a problem, I found those on the way down much harder to manage. Descending is tougher on the knees and hips, and mine don't have much stability as yet – I felt a little vulnerable and unbalanced negotiating the steep sections of the High Street, and by the time we were back on the Cannongate I was very tired indeed. Having been out and about for a few hours, however, fatigue was only to be expected, and overall I was very pleased with my progress up and down this first hill. I've only been walking on the flat with my splint and stick so far, and I was concerned about managing the gradients. But though the Royal Mile was certainly a little tough for my bad leg, I could walk up and down it no problem. Next week, however, I shall attempt Calton Hill – a shorter climb, but,with lots of steps and uneven ground, a steeper and much trickier affair.
Thanks for the photos, Mule!

Troops hand out clothes, toys donated at thrift shop in Germany at school in Iraqi village
March 17, 2009
By Sgt. Daniel Nichols, U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs Office
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Smiles filled the faces of more than 50 widows and their children at a small school in Abu Jabour here as Iraqi troops handed out clothes and toys March 13 that came to the Iraqi village after being donated to the community thrift shop in Baumholder, Germany.
Troops of the 1st Battalion, 55th Brigade, 17th Iraqi Army Division coordinated the humanitarian project with U.S. Soldiers of the Baumholder-based 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division.
Arab Jabour was once an al-Qaeda in Iraq stronghold known for suicide bombers and roads heavily mined with improvised explosive devices; farmland that was once the badlands of insurgents.
In the past year, violence has decreased and the area is returning to normal, with farmers coming back to till the land and quality of life improving for the people.
"This is a great thing," said Iraqi Army Capt. Ahmed Farhaan A'abaas, commander of the 17th's 4th Company, 1st Battalion. "Distributing such humanitarian aids will help to build a close relationship between the [Iraqi Army] and the citizens who live here."
The clothes and toys came to Iraq as the result of coordination between Iraqi forces and the leadership of the 2nd BCT.
"The clothes and toys were donated to the thrift store back at our base in Baumholder, Germany," said 2nd BCT Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Eyer. "We managed to get them over here from the thrift store to me, since my wife became the point of contact for this [shipment] that came over."
"We want the Iraqi people here to see the Iraqi forces are working for them," Eyer said.
Soldiers from the 2nd BCT's 1st Battalion, 35th Armor helped provide security while Iraqi troops helped the widows sort through more than 20 boxes filled with clothes, shoes and toys for their children.
"We feel very happy today," said Usamma, a smiling young recipient of the donations. "The coalition forces help us a lot, and they brought a lot of gifts for us."
Most of the widows went back to their homes in the neighborhood around the school with as much as they could carry.
"I think it's great that we can help, and I hope that we can do more in the future," said Eyer.
(Sgt. Daniel Nichols of the U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs Office is currently deployed to Iraq with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division.)

2006 Dodge Durango • 76,500 miles
I am trying to find the location of the CTM in my vehicle and what does it look like
March 18, 2012.
March 18, 2012.
You sure its not the PCM ( powertain control module ) your looking for intead of this CTM what does it suppose to do?
CTM (central timers module)controls the interior lights that will not turn off in my Durango. I have been told that All I may need to do is unseat it and reinstall it and the lights will work again. I dont know where to look and what it looks like
That's the Central Timer Module. It's a different name for a Body Computer. Controls door locks, seat belt tensioners, etc. Does the stuff we never needed a computer for years ago.
Its the integrated power module you're looking for located at left side of engine compartment- sorry no picture available
If that idiotic, stupid, unnecessarily-complicated module is the one you want, it's built in as part of the under-hood fuse box. I worked on a friend's '06 that was crashed, and was really impressed with how they were able to take a bunch of simple, reliable circuits and add an unbelievable level of complexity to them. It greatly reinforced my resolve to keep my rusty trusty '88 Grand Caravan on the road.
Doc, is it the IPM-can't find CTM-Mit1 won't give it up or it doesn't exist-going nuts here
Just called a friend who rebuilds only smashed Chrysler products and he said the Integrated Power Module I fixed for his '06 Truck is not the same as the Central Timer Module. The IPM is under and part of the under-hood fuse box, and as best as he can remember the the CTM is a black box right next to it. It used to be a 4" square silver box under the dash up through the '03 model year. That's the one I was familiar with. Starting in '04 they moved it to behind the left head light.

I'd try to save the explanations for each portfolio in some kind of "info" option that can be clicked with the pictures, or for the end of the portfolio. Also, a few portfolios only have about three or so pix in them... all very nice, but unless you have about 10 or 12, then I'd skip adding those pix to your site until you have enough for each portfolio to feel complete. Very nice work, by the way.
