Great Product!
It really applies your foundation fully and nicely. Picks up plenty of product and gives you an almost airbrush look. It's nice and soft...I mean SOFT.
Yeah, it's around $15 but MAC and other brands are FAR more expensive. You definitely get your money's worth
Also, I suggest checking out her other brushes. Many of them are of laos of great quality.

I finally got this brush, and yes I like it! I haven't seen another like it from other brands. It's excellent for applying my liquid foundation, I think it's shaped better than a regular foundation brush. As well it doesn't absorb a lot of products, but instead buffs it into my skin. I also like the shape of the handle, it really fits into my hands. The packaging protects it well, but was a bit hard to open--oh well. Great all round!
A Few Weeks Later--I've gone back to using my Ecotools foundation brush for Foundation, since I found it gives a better finish and reaches small areas. But I still use this brush for cream blushes, and find that it is the best way to apply them and buff them into my skin. Better than fingers or skunk brush. Still love!

Great, great foundation brush. I get so many compliments on my foundation. I prefer it over my MAC 187 for liquids, actually. No shedding, the brush has held up beautifully in my bag. It's so soft ! I wouldn't buy this product again because I'll probably never have to repurchase !

I bought this brush based on all the rave reviews and a month later went back and bought a second one. I use both daily, one for my foundation and the other for blush/highlighter.
I've used this brush with multiple foundations (I'm still searching for my HG): BE Matte, Diorskin Nude, Mac Studio Fix Fluid, Nars Sheer Glow, DuWop Fountain of Youth, Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich, MUFE HD, etc. It did a gorgeous job on all of them.
If you're considering using this brush for any reason, try it - it will probably do a great job!

I've forgotten how utterly essential this thing is to my routine. It will blend out even the most garishly bright blush colors into beautiful, natural-looking washes (NARS Exhibit A is excellent with this), and it blends away the streakiest of foundation/powder application. When I initially purchased this, I was floored at how soft and dense the bristles were, and a tiny drawback of that is that it takes much longer to dry than my other brushes after washing. I really love the dense synthetic flat-top brush as a concept, and just wish Kashuk would come out with a larger version of this... I have not seen this shape of brush elsewhere, and if it exists, I bet it is much more expensive. I'm also a fan of the curvy handle shape-- not sure if it really helps me grip better, but I like to pretend it does.

Oh my gosh, where has this brush been all my life? I'm currently using this brush to apply both powder and liquid foundations. When used with mineral or powder foundations, you will get fuller coverage, but you can blend it out to a more natural finish. With cream or liquid foundations, this brush allows you to use less product and buff it out really nicely. I like the fact that it is synthetic, relatively dense and has a flat top - all three features make it the perfect foundation brush.

This iteams is a five star iteam. I love it if I could marry it and have little flat top babies I would. It works great at apllying foundation and also my cream blushes. For my foundation it blends it so well is like my second skin as well with the blush such a great blemd. Usually when I apply my cream blush I hesitant because I dont want to tlook like a clown but this gives a great and natural flush. I will definatly buy more!

This is the best brush EVER! I have actually never written a review before, but this brush is so great that I just had to. I use Bare Minerals foundation(the regular,not the matte) and this brush really makes the finish look Flawless! The bristles are much softer than the bare minerals brushes and it actually feels like a better quality brush! Save your money girls and go with this brush instead of the BM Kabuki brush-you'll save about $10 and be much happier with your end result.

This brush makes Revlon Colorstay look GOOD. (It doesn't stay that way all day, but that's the foundation's fault.) It buffs on liquid foundation so quickly and easily. I usually apply with this, then go over my face with a kabuki brush to really blend it in. I've also tried this with mineral foundation and cream blushes, and it works well for those too. The bristles are synthetic, so it doesn't suck up a bunch of product like natural bristles would.
Compared to the Everyday Minerals flat top kabuki, this is more compact with shorter bristles. This makes it easier to blend around the nose and eyes, and better at blending thicker liquids (though I love the EDM brush for mineral foundation).

I LOVE THIS BRUSH! buffs me a flawless face with my studio fix fluid! , looks amazing using mineral foundation as well (bare minerals). This brush is soo soft and dense but after a week you can feel the density kinda soften up a little bit. but no matter what i love this brush. I would really repurchase as many as possible. I carry this in my makeupbag all the time. this brush is sooo wonderful! I dont know whatelse to say but BUY IT!. I LOVEEEEE THIS BRUSH, and i prefer this brush over mac brushes forrreallsss! BEST FOUNDATION BRUSH EVER MADE, i am in love. this is the highest rating i ever gave anything!

Sustainability and Safeguards
The Inter-American Development Bank demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability through our environmental and social safeguard policies, standards and guidelines. Each policy promotes sustainability through a two-pronged approach:
- Enhance outcomes via mainstreaming of environmental and social concerns, an approach that promotes environmental and social aspects as central considerations for all project activities; and
- Minimize negative impacts by applying safeguards, including identification, monitoring and mitigation of issues that arise throughout a project lifecycle.
These policies, which we model after the best international practices, are essential to our mission to reduce poverty and inequality in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Specialists in our safeguards unit work closely with project stakeholders and Bank colleagues to identify and solve challenges that may arise during Bank projects and programs, including environmental, inclusion of indigenous peoples, resettlement, labor, gender equality, and health and safety concerns. Thoughtful application of safeguard policies, standards and guidelines ensures that project beneficiaries can thrive for the long term.
By putting sustainability at the heart of its operations, the Bank aims to help countries maintain and enhance their natural capital for development.
The Bank recognizes that the inclusion of women, indigenous peoples, or persons with disabilities, is fundamental to the development.
IDB's tenth annual Sustainability Report highlights the Bank's sustainability performance for the 2014 fiscal year, and features stories of our Region's progress.

massive spam on my few sites.
I can't find anywhere in the Uverse+Yahoo (big yawn) email settings to shut off my email options.
The point of it is, I NEVER used the email address for anything.
I believe spammers manually send spam because I have so many checks and random captcha validation on messages.

Marshall's football story needs clarifying
Re: "Twice was charm for Bowden" (news article, Oct. 26).
Stanley Marshall's article on the history leading up to Bobby Bowden's 1976 hiring misstated and omitted critical events that occurred in 1973 involving FSU's pre-spring football conditioning program.
First, the St. Petersburg Times articles referenced by Marshall made no mention of the Vietnam War, and there were no student protests over the program. Second, nearly 30 players - about 25 percent of the team - were terminated and lost their scholarships as a result of the program's player mistreatment. Third, FSU football was placed on probation as a result of the program.
A program similar to the one used in 1973 had previously been implemented in the 1960s. In 1969, players had complained about the abuses of that program to FSU's Athletic Committee, an arm of then President Marshall's administration. Early in 1973, the then-ongoing abuses were publicized in a story done by FSU's student newspaper, the Flambeau. Notwithstanding this actual knowledge of the illegal program, no administration action was taken to stop or curtail the practices.
Given the significance of the abuse and its adverse impact on the many student-athletes involved, it is critical that these shameful events involving FSU's football history be accurately recounted, especially by someone who was as closely connected to them as then-President Marshall was.
Lindley is misguided on gun sale proposal
Disappointment is the only possible expression I can find to describe the agreement by Leon County commissioners to follow the misguided attempt by Commissioner Mary Ann Lindley to effectively ban private party transfers of firearms. This action, and the commission's agreement to continue discussions, indicates the entirety of our County Commission either misunderstands this matter or chooses to participate in this scandal.
Lindley advocates a ban on private party transfers,because it requires mandatory background checks, when private parties have no access to databases; access to these databases is a violation of citizens' privacy.
This scam does not close a "gun show" loophole, it is an outright ban. Lindley's ban eliminates the only means of safe and proper transfer of an inherited collection, thus usurping the rights of multiple generations.
Is this really what you want to bring us in future elections? Please produce a government statistic demonstrating any impact of private party transfers in any criminal action nationwide, let alone Leon County. We have hundreds of laws and regulations regarding illegal transfers or possession. Extensive searches yield no government statistics demonstrating the problem commissioners seek to repair.
Hospice is a choice that assists families in need
No one likes to think about death and dying, but it's something everyone has to face eventually. There's an incredible resource in our community that provides comfort, dignity and respect to all those coping with a serious or life-limiting illness. It's Big Bend Hospice.
November is National Hospice Palliative Care Month, a time to reach out to our community to raise awareness about the compassionate care that hospice and palliative care provide to patients and their families. One of the most important messages to help people understand is that hospice care and palliative care help patients and families focus on living.
The Big Bend Hospice team provides expert medical care to keep patients comfortable and able to enjoy time with loved ones. The hospice team answers questions, offers advice on what to expect, and helps families with the duties of being a caregiver. The team also provides emotional and spiritual support for the entire family.
Hospice Medicare and Medicaid cover 100 percent of the cost of the approved treatments and services related to the terminal illness. Hospice is covered by most insurance plans and HMOs. Thanks to community support, no one is ever refused Big Bend Hospice services because of inability to pay. Hospice care is provided in the home, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and long-term care centers.
Hospice care is available to people of all ages, with any illness. Hospice professionals and trained volunteers will ask you what's important and listen to what you say. .
If you or a loved one is facing a serious or life-limiting illness, the time to find out more about hospice and palliative care is right now.
President/CEO, Big Bend Hospice

Strong Circuits: Quick and Focused Workouts for Peak Performance
As a full-time high school teacher, husband, pro climber, and father to two young boys, I don't have a ton of time to devote to training for climbing. What matters most in a workout is getting the most bang for my buck—this means short but intense workouts that keep me strong. I don't climb or boulder much anymore during the week, but the circuits I've developed with the help of top trainers keep me at or near my peak level of performance and can do the same for you. These circuits focus less on endurance, which I can get back by volume climbing (focusing on a lot of pitches in a day) on the weekend or just one night a week. To round out my training, I include climbing-specific movements like campusing, hangboard, or my own exercises once a week for an hour to an hour and a half. (Check out climbing.com/skill/training for suggestions on campus and hangboard workouts.)
Circuit Breakdown:
Train for about 45 minutes twice a week.
Choose eight different exercises, which will be divided into two groups of four.
Within each group of four, there should be one exercise each for upper body, leg, and core, and the fourth should be an isolated pair of oppositional muscles
(core/lower back, biceps/triceps, chest/upper back; choose one muscle for the
first group and the other muscle for
the second group).
Perform each exercise for 40 seconds; give yourself three seconds to switch between exercises.
Complete four rounds, where one round is completing all four exercises once (160 seconds of work plus transition time). Don't stop after completing each round; keep pushing until you have completed each exercise four times for a total of 16 movements, and then rest for five minutes.
Repeat the above steps with the second group of movements, and then take another five-minute rest.
Finish the circuit with five straight minutes of the following core exercises:
- 1 minute forearm plank
- 1 minute dolphin pushups (fig. 1): Start in a pushup position and walk your feet forward until your hips reach 90 degrees. Keep legs straight while you do pushups.
- Two 30-second, one-arm planks: Alternate arms.
- 1 minute toe touches: Lie on your back with legs up and hips bent at 90 degrees, heels to the ceiling; reach hands up to touch your toes.
- 1 minute scissor-kick crunches: Lie on your back and raise legs slightly up so hips are bent at 30 degrees; move left leg under right, and then left leg over right while holding a crunch position with upper body.
I have a list of nearly 100 that I choose from; because it would be silly to list them all, here are my favorites from each category. If you'd like to create your own, closely analyze the type of moves you make while climbing (e.g., locking off, crossing through, flagging, etc.), and then integrate an established exercise that works those muscle groups. Often I combine multiple exercises/movements to make coordination—hugely important in climbing—a major factor in my workouts.
Upper Body
Mountain man: Use a rope on a pulley hanging from the ceiling, with a climbing hold attached to each end of the rope. (Free-hanging holds like Metolius Rock Rings are excellent for this.) Pull off the ground, moving one arm all the way down in a lock-off position and hold for a few seconds. Then pull the other hand down and hold for a few seconds. Repeat. Increase the challenge by wearing a weight vest or using smaller holds.
Campus board touches: Reach as high as you can with your first hand, latch the hold, and then come back to your starting position. Repeat without coming off the board. Use a foothold to make it easier, or smaller holds to make it harder.
Around the world: Use a pull-up bar to lock off with your head just below the bar. Stay locked off and change your position by moving one hand at a time, so you're now facing the opposite direction. Continue going around the world while maintaining the lock-off; don't swing your body wildly as you swivel around.
Offset pull-ups: Throw a towel over a pull-up bar or hang a hold on it so you have something to grab that's about a foot lower than the bar itself. With one hand on the bar and the other on the towel/hold, do pull-ups. Alternate the high hand each round.
Box jumps: Using both feet, jump up onto a raised box or object; your entire foot should be on the box. Then jump back down without pausing. Repeat.
One-leg squats (fig. 2): With one leg straight out in front of you, squat down on your other leg until your butt hits the heel of your foot, and then stand back up. Do this for the full 40 seconds, and alternate legs each round. Add dumbbells to make it harder or use the wall for balance to make it easier.
Lunges with press: Use a pair of light dumbbells (about eight lbs. each) and press them up straight over your head while you lunge forward. Alternate legs with each press/lunge.
Steps: Step up onto a box or raised object, match feet, and step back off with same leg. Alternate legs with each step. Use a taller box or add dumbbells to increase difficulty.
Paint cans (fig. 3): Grab two paint cans (or something of similar height) and place them side by side on the floor about shoulder-width apart. Place hands on the lid of each paint can and assume the pushup position. Do a pushup, tuck your legs under your body, and then extend them in front of you without touching the floor. Hold for two seconds, and then bring them back under your body and into the starting position. Repeat.
Bridge (fig. 4): Lay on your back and place both feet flat on the ground and shoulder-width apart. Raise hips as high as you can with hands on the ground, palms down, along your side. Extend one leg out or balance feet on a stability ball for more of a challenge.
Dip-bar leg raises: Use a dip bar to lift your body up until your arms are extended and locked. Keeping legs straight, raise them until they are parallel to the floor. Lower them until they're at a 45-degree angle to the floor. Repeat the raise, making sure not to let your legs dangle freely. Make it easier by doing it on your elbows, or make it more difficult by holding light dumbbells between your toes.
Side elbow plank (fig. 5): Lie on your side, with forearm on floor (elbow directly below your shoulder). Lift your hips up so weight is on the outside edge of your bottom foot and your forearm/elbow. Keep hips, shoulders, legs, and feet stacked and vertically in line with body. Alternate sides each round.
Core/lower back: Crunches and Supermans (Lie on stomach with arms extended in front of you, legs shoulder-width apart; lift arms, head, and feet straight up as high as they can go, lower slowly.)
Biceps/triceps: Bicep curls and overhead tricep extensions
Chest/upper back: Pushups and bent-over rows (See climbing.com/shoulders-hips for a description of this exercise.)
Climbing Specific
*These moves are performed on a systems board or hangboard.
Repeater: Choose a hold on the systems board that is a weakness for you (e.g., a pinch or sloper; ideally, there are pairs of similar holds lined up on the board). With fixed feet (meaning they don't move during the exercise), grab on to a set at the same level, and then reach up to the next set one hand at a time. Without moving your feet, reach back down to the starting point. Repeat the movement, and alternate the leading hand.
Around the block: Choose a hangboard that has four different types of holds (sloper, crimp, jug, and pocket). Grab the slopers and pull off the ground. Without touching the floor, go "around the block" by moving one hand at a time to the crimps, then to the jugs, and then to the pockets. Order doesn't matter, but keep repeating. Use your feet or pick big holds to make it easier.
Cross-through: Using the systems board, choose two good holds to start from and set your feet on the footholds. Lock off the left hand, and reach as far left as you can with your right hand (keeping feet fixed), and then latch a hold. Bring right hand back to the beginning and repeat; switch the locked-off hand each round.
Flag-and-clip: Choose a good left hold on the systems board and place your left foot directly beneath you on a good foot. With your free hand holding a length of climbing rope and your right foot flagged behind your left leg, clip a hanging quickdraw that is almost out of reach. Keep repeating, and alternate hands each round.

That is dangerous form on the one leg squat, the heel should never leave the floor and you should keep the knee from pronating. One good way to do is is by doing this in doorways where the toes of the squatting leg touch the wall and the flagging leg if free to stretch through the doorway. The wall will ensure that your knee does not go beyond your toes.Sujay - 11/17/2013 11:23:22
Don't forget weight-lifting for building grip and back strength! These are two of the most important components for rock climbing!Jared White - 11/14/2013 5:24:09
the guy who wrote this (rob pizem), is not the guy demonstrating itseth - 11/11/2013 6:51:24
Yeah that one legged squat shows poor ankle flexibility and it should not be done that way.Crafen Morto - 10/30/2013 9:14:03
This is NOT the proper way to do one-legged squat! The heel should not be torn off the floor. In the way it is show, this exercise is a prerequisite for knee injury.Boyan - 10/07/2013 7:24:41
To split hairs: these are downward dog pushups, not dolphin pushups. Forearms are down for dolphin. Here you're pushing up into downward dog.Cactus - 10/02/2013 12:02:45
such a great workout thanks!!!!!eric valcourt - 09/28/2013 7:55:36

Our winery produces award winning
handcrafted grape and fruit wines,8 months a year, May
through December, and
sponsors tasting events throughout the year. Our 100 acre farm grows a
variety of grapes in our vineyard, fruit from our orchard and
berry patches, allowing us to have total control of our
product, from the harvest, right to the bottle. Maybe that's
why we're always selling out of our award winning Black Gold
Blackberry Wine and
Damson Plum. Presently we have over 20
varieties of wine, with 17 of them medal winners and many styles
in limited quantities.
Our hard cider has been awarded a Concordance
Gold, Best of Class medal, in 2005 and Gold Medals, in 2006 and
2007. One of our newest hard cider product, Nate's Razzy Apple won it's first
Gold Medal 2008.
The winery is
located at Charlton Orchards Farm, Route 20, in Charlton
Massachusetts. Founded in 1733, the farm is one of the oldest
settlements in south central Massachusetts. We are only 15
minutes from Historic Sturbridge Village, Pioneer Brewery at Hyland Orchards, in
Sturbridge, and 20 minutes to Taylor Brooke Winery in Woodstock
My family has been growing fruit in
Southern New England for over 50 years. Although we are fairly
new at wine making (we starting making wine in 1999) we know how important great fruit is
to the finished product.
Maybe that is why our winery sales
and production have grown continuously over the years. Our
family traditions also dictate that we always make time for our
customers, both large and small. My wife and I personally
handle the wine tasting. You can find one of us behind the bar
most weekends each year.
I guess my philosophy about wine is
as simple as my life style. I believe my wine translates our
family values and heritage. We are hard working people that
take pride in what we grow and make, with American values that

Putting the Record Straight: Rock Art and Shamanism. (Debate)
Lewis-Williams, J. D., Antiquity
Alice Kehoe (2002: 384-5) proposes divided camps in the study of rock art and contrasts a "popular" interpretation, which ascribes rock art to shamanism, with an "emerging trend" which is more circumspect and reflexive. Such a dichotomy is both unfair and unhelpful. In the "popular" category, she makes free with my name and ascribes views to me, but, interestingly, does not cite any of my publications. She is prodigal with emotive words like `primitivist' and `racism', and her attempt to characterise the targets of her criticism in a persona! way (`Lewis-Williams and his followers') is indicative of sloppy scholarship: the `followers' are independent thinkers who can make up their own minds and she should accord them the attention they deserve. In these respects, Kehoe's response, unlike Ross's more thoughtful article (2001: 543-8), is injurious to rational debate.
She begins by creating the spectre of `Lewis-Williams' one-size-fits-all assertion that hunter-gatherer shamans created rock art to record their trance visions.' Nothing could be further from the truth. As a reading of my publications would have shown, I have considered only the San of southern Africa and the people of Upper Palaeolithic western Europe, though I have cited other writers on North American rock art. Nowhere have I claimed that all hunter-gatherer rock art is shamanistic; I can speak only for those arts that I have studied. Within southern Africa itself there are rock art traditions other than that of the San; I have not studied them in depth, but I very much doubt that they have anything to do with shamanism. Nor do I argue that the only reason for making rock art images was to record visions:
The shamanistic explanation does not propose that hallucinations experienced in trance account for the entire corpus of San rock art. Nor does it propose that the images were made by people who were actually in a trance state. Further, it is necessary to retain qualifiers such as `essentially' because no one can know what was in the minds of all San painters and because of the as yet unplumbed polysemy of certain categories of paintings. Qualifiers are essential if we are to avoid being driven into the unnuanced monolithism that conceals the allusiveness (and elusiveness) of San thought. The shamanistic explanation certainly proposes a focus on diverse shamanistic beliefs and activities, but it does not deny other meanings. What we need to study is how and what other meanings are encoded in the images (Lewis-Williams 1998:87; emphasis in original).
What, then, does the shamanistic explanation for San (certainly not all) rock art propose?
The making of San rock paintings was essentially (or `principally') associated with a range of shamanistic beliefs, rituals and experiences and was situated within a tiered shamanistic cosmology and complex social relations. The images comprise symbols (or, more emically, concentrations) of supernatural potency (e.g., paintings of eland), images of trance dances, `fragments' of trance dances (e.g., single figures in the arms-back posture), `processed' (recollected and formalised) visions (e.g., the capture of a rain-animal), transformed shamans (including the so-called therianthropes), monsters and beings encountered in the spirit world (e.g., fighting off malevolent spirits of the dead), and `scenic' groups (loosely called `compositions') made by one or more painters, and complex groupings, including superimpositions, of many images that, in a range of ways, show the interdigitating of the spirit realm with the material world. The spirit world was, in some conceptual circumstances, believed to lie behind the walls of rock shelters (Lewis-Williams 1998:87).
All these observations are based on carefully assessed nineteenth- and twentieth-century ethnography and have been argued in detail, image by image, not in broad assertions about `the art'; all broad-sweep rock art explanations that do not deal with individual images and image categories should be treated with caution--as should broad-sweep criticisms, such as Kehoe's (e. …

Re: I just had a revelation
I agree the idea of Star Trek's moneyless economy is that people are working for personal pride and not personal sustenance.
If you tried to apply this in real life there'd have to be some mechanism to replace the effect of competition. If video game companies weren't trying to beat each other we'd all still be playing NES, and that's if we even had our houses wired for electricity without electric companies competing to do so.
You'd have to have some system, at the very least, that rewards extraordinary effort and talent rather than just compensating basic competence. Otherwise people's incentives are to give the minimum necessary to retain your privileges, not to innovate or excel. The lack of said system is the main reason communism fails.

This word-nerd was asked to join the American Heritage Dictionary's Usage Panel. What happened next rocked his world
Last summer I was delighted to be asked to join the American Heritage Dictionary's Usage Panel, which has included so many great writers and language-experts that I was as intimidated as I was overjoyed.
Then came my first actual ballot, where the panel is asked to rule on disputed usages, and some philosophical conflicts as I filled it out. I tell the story at Schwa Fire.

Just 200 words on Charlie Hebdo
Of all of the statements of solidarity, I haven't been able to make myself say "Je suis Charlie." I'm not, and you probably aren't either. As a journalist, I've never covered the kind of people who would kill me. The cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo did. They did so knowingly. They were the sharp end of freedom of speech. Too sharp? Who gets to say? The most humorless person on the planet? Not everything in Charlie Hebdo was even funny, or even close. But they weren't just aiming for schoolboy laughs. They understood that for a right to really be a right, it must not be couched in the language of "You have the right to offend, but you must never use it." They offended, intentionally, to protect more important rights for the rest of us, understanding that if we let the zealots draw the line at Charlie Hebdo, they wouldn't just stop there. The cartoonists drew the front line way out from where we are, so we could live safely well behind it. They died for that bravery. And I'll intentionally borrow a term from the religious: they are martyrs, having died for their beliefs and ours. We are not Charlie, because Charlie was a lot braver than most people will ever be.

Recent work
So Germany won the world cup, and I reflected on the team's grace and class in victory. Joe Kaeser has been running Siemens for a year, and I wrote about his progress in tuning up German's industrial dynamo. And no summer would be complete without a thirsty piece about good but uncreative German beer and the slow growth of American-style craft beer here.
In the Johnson column, I turned two holidays (in Spain and Sweden) into reflections on Catalan and on the Scandinavian "neighbor languages". I also examined the communication strategies underlying "mansplaining"–to the almost equal irritation of feminists accusing me of mansplaining and men mansplaining why I was wrong.

What's new
Long time, no update, but in the past few months, while in business-finance mode I've written about clubby boardrooms, Germans' low-return investment habits, the arms-export industry, and German business lobbying against sanctions on Russia.
With the language hat on, I've covered what a foreign language is worth (yes, in dollar terms), why English and Linguistics need each other, how computers can be better language teachers than humans, and how Ukraine's government screwed up by demoting Russian.

The Economist, "Bulgaria: Succeeding in spite of the state"
One of the most fascinating reporting trips I've ever had was my recent one in Sofia. I talked to entrepreneurs whose creativity and grit in starting businesses in 1990s Bulgaria would make the most peacocking Silicon Valley company-founder blush.
MILEN GEORGIEV'S father had bought him a kit of cheap magic tricks. That was lucky, because it helped the young Bulgarian figure out the sleight-of-hand in the hustlers' three-card con trick at an open-air market in Sofia. Over ten weeks, Mr Georgiev made 1,000 lev (then around $18 at official rates), while getting just 90 lev a month on his student stipend. The hustlers started turning him away.
"This was good capital at this time," he says. It was 1991. He and a friend went into business. First they bought and sold plastic bags, then bought a machine for making them. Mr Georgiev financed new machines at 6% a month from local lenders. He fended off one protection racket by hiring another at cheaper rates, and paying the police for a panic button in his offices. Palms had to be greased to get telephone lines set up, and imports through customs.
But today his business is thriving…

Bilingualism rocks
Two recent Johnson columns on bilingualism have been surprise hits. The first, "Bringing up baby bilingual", discusses the cognitive benefits of doing exactly that for your child. (Amazingly, bilingualism's benefits last until old age.) The second column offers some answers the question "Do different languages confer different personalities?"

Dateline: Berlin
I've now been in Berlin for a month, getting moved in and settling in a new office while also squeezing in a short vacation. In between, I've written two Johnson pieces (now in column format): one, an introduction to the new column, and another, an update to George Orwell's six rules for writing. And with my new European Business and Finance Correspondent hat on, I've had a look at the travails of first Commerzbank and then Siemens.

Intelligent Life, "Think Similar"
"Believe in better." "In search of incredible." The advertising craze of making nouns out of adjectives has become overdone
"Grammar play is like free verse, splatter painting or low-fi music. The first to get to the idea grabs attention just by virtue of daring. But the hordes who follow have to have something to say, some real content, not to mention a real product to sell. Just playing around with the medium won't do. It takes more than unconventional to generate memorable…" (Read the whole article.)

The Economist, "English atop the Eurovision pile"
Language, of course, plays a role at Eurovision. "Ethnicity" in Europe is often linguistic: an ethnic Russian is not apparent on the streets of Riga until he opens his mouth. Linguistic neighbors will tend to be generous to one another. Finland and Estonia are friendly not only because they are nearby but because their Finno-Ugric languages resemble each other, while being utterly unrelated to their neigbours'. (Hungarian is also Finno-Ugric.) Each country can give 12 points to only one other country, and this year Denmark and Sweden gave their 12's to Norway, Norway its 12 to Sweden, as befits the Scandinavian language continuum.
But the Scandinavians share something else besides apple-cheeked blondes and North Germanic languages: their tendency to sing in English. In that, they are like most countries nowadays. But some interesting variation clouds the picture… (Read the whole article.)

Charles M. Blackwelder's family found the small tin box in his Indian Land home after the World War II Marine veteran died last March.
It contained a photo of a Japanese soldier, two books printed in Japanese and a small journal. Each item was stamped "EXAMINED IN THE FIELD – PASSED BY JOINT INTELLIGENCE."
The journal's first seven pages were written in Japanese, but the next 13 were in English with the heading "Dear Diary."
KERSHAW – Some military heroes coach youth ball teams, are church ushers and even bag groceries, with few outside their immediate families ever aware of their actions.
That's especially true of Vietnam-era veterans who just don't talk about their service, while their military records remain relatively unknown.
When it comes to talking about Vietnam, Robert Brasington was like many of his fellow servicemen.
The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in finding a couple with a child who shoplifted several items from Walmart in Indian Land on Oct. 9 and stole the tag from a woman's SUV.
According to a release, sheriff's deputies responded to a call from a woman who said she went shopping at the superstore about 3:20 p.m. and returned about 40 minutes later to find the license plate on her Ford Expedition had been stolen.
The woman walking along Springdale Road that motorists pass by may not seem out of place, but she may not have a home to go home to.
"It happens every day and most of the time we don't give it a second thought," said Melanie Outlaw, chairwoman of the Lancaster Area Coalition for the Homeless (LACH). "We see them walking down the street every day and most of the time, no one knows they're homeless."
Thieves broke into a Lancaster County Parks and Recreation storage building at the city of Lancaster's 15th Street complex last weekend and stole a pickup truck and other items worth an estimated $102,000.
The burglary at 942 15th St. happened between 11 p.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Saturday, the Lancaster Police Department incident report said.
According to the report, the thieves broke through the back wall of the building, breaking a water line in the process and causing extensive water damage inside the building.
KERSHAW – Town employees are learning that Joe Boyes likes to learn from the ground up, which is why sanitation workers may have been caught a little by surprise early Monday, Nov. 9.
Boyes, 30, the new town administrator, showed up for work a little before midnight, Sunday, Nov. 8, to introduce himself as they were getting ready to start that day's residential trash pick-up.
Plummeting property values were not even on Howard Kance's radar when he moved into his home in the BridgeMill neighborhood a few years ago, though it was his main concern as he sat in Lancaster County Council's chambers Monday night, Nov. 9.
Joining more than 100 of his neighbors, some spilling out the doors and all clad in red shirts, Kance hoped to urge council members not to approve a proposed industrial rezoning for McClancy Seasoning, an established spice business located directly next to his Indian Land neighborhood, just off U.S. 521.
You inch past a serious wreck on the interstate. Cars and an 18-wheeler sit mangled and steaming. Medics scramble to help the wounded. People are yelling, some are crying.
The troubling scene recedes in your rearview mirror as you rev back up to highway speed and wonder what happened. Was it a texting driver? Blown tire? Road rage? You'll probably never know.
The aftermath of the August collision between Lancaster County officials and the Lancaster County Economic Development Corp. has been similarly messy, troubling and hard to understand.
Ken Burger died Oct. 20. He was the most interesting, special and unique son of South Carolina that I have ever known. Period.
If that sounds like graveside hyperbole, consider his one-sentence bio: Born and raised in Allendale, Burger graduated dead last in his class at the University of Georgia, has been married five times, is a grateful recovering alcoholic, a cancer survivor and a happy man.
Journalist Ken was a stickler for the facts, so I'll correct one and add a few. He did not survive cancer, and his one-line bio does not do him justice.
My AP U.S. history students at Lancaster High School have read with interest the two guest columns in The Lancaster News regarding immigration from Oct. 21 and 28.

In order to jump-start the peace process, Urbanski made an out-of-the-box suggestion: If references to "God" are the problem, why not eliminate the first four commandments (which explicitly mention God) and leave the remaining six (which do not) on the wall? ...

The main difference is that I think Travelzoo's business is a nice mix between Priceline (NASDAQ:PCLN) and Groupon (NASDAQ:GRPN). It is able to provide local deals to the million of mailing list members that it has accumulated over the years. I do think that it is much more focused than Groupon (resulting in lower costs) and there are fewer questions regarding its accounting practices, etc. That has helped TZOO generate strong growth for many years now.
In other ways though, Travelzoo is able to provide web properties such as its Fly.com search engine that make it easier for users to search for a specific deal. It's not quite the "Name Your Price" brand, but it is still very strong and getting better. From everything that I can tell, Travelzoo is a very well run company in a sector where growth continues to be strong.
Yyyy-stock price 5 years
Valuation Estimates
Depending on whose earnings per share estimates you use, the P/E estimates for 2012 and 2013 are close to 15 and 13. That is a fairly attractive valuation for a company that is expected to increase its revenues by double digits for the next few years at a minimum. The company has a very strong balance sheet with no debt and significant cash (close to $2.50 per share).
Yyyy-Revenue chart
Yyy-TZOO numbers
Economic Environment Challenges
No doubt, the fact that Travelzoo has a large portion of its business in the UK is a challenge as that economy continues to go through a weak recovery.
That being said, I think that what Travelzoo offers is fairly unique and difficult to replicate which will certainly continue to offer a lot of good opportunities for the company.

About Westerly, RI
Westerly is a town on the southwestern shoreline of Washington County, Rhode Island, United States. Founded in 1669 by John Babcock, it is a beachfront community on the south shore of the state. The population was 22,787 at the 2010 census. The town is part of the Norwich-New London New England City and Town Area. On the western border of Westerly flows the Pawcatuck River, once renowned for its own species of Westerly salmon, three of which are on the town's crest. The Pawcatuck River flows from some fifteen miles (24 km) inland, emptying into Little Narragansett Bay. The Pawcatuck River also serves as the boundary between Westerly and Pawcatuck, Connecticut. Along the coast of Westerly lie salt ponds, which serve as shallow reeflike pools, whose outer walls form the long, white beaches for which the town became renowned. From west to east, these ponds are called Maschaug Pond, Winnapaug Pond, and Quonochontaug Pond. The town also has a fresh water lake, Chapman's Pond, which is undergoing revitalization. A type of granite, known as Westerly granite, has long been quarried here. Westerly granite, ideal for statuary, has been used in numerous government buildings of several states along the eastern seaboard. The Westerly area was known for its granite and stone-cutting industry. Westerly becomes a large tourist attraction during the summer months - some argue date=February 2010 that the population nearly doubles. date=March 2010 From east to west, well-known beaches include Weekapaug Beach, Westerly Town Beach, Misquamicut State Beach, East Beach and Watch Hill Beach.

Chris Christie is con- artist! He says No, No, No. I won't do the tunnel, No, I will layoff 1200 hardworking people for the holidays making moderate incomes but I will keep all the people making a over $ 100,00 a year. Question What will he do for New Jersey? He doesn't even campaign for tourism to New Jersey. Hell! He doesn't even stay in New Jersey he cozies up to the tea party in every other state but New Jersey. Really, people complain about Obama's first 2 years what has Christie done to help New Jersey during his first two except increase the unemployment by 1200 new applicants. Wake -up People stop drinking the Kool-Aid.
Gov. Christie is a liar and manipulator who has no regard for the State Constitution. He fancies himself as King Henry VIII..."Give me your food you lowly middle class people!!! Oh! You wealthy people and corporations..don't worry about "sharing the sacrifice" just continue to donate to my campaign...I will be KING of America!!It is written in my version of the Bible!!

Sometimes procrastination slows down my goals - so I use this mantra "Every second counts!" It helps me remember to live life NOW. It helps me squash lies like, "Oh this one little bite won't hurt" or "I will start Monday" or "That was so good I should have a second helping". Every second counts!
Don't let fear keep you from doing the things you want to do. You may be concerned about what other people will think. Don't let other people dictate how you live your life. Do what makes you happy! Live your life to the fullest! Make every second count.
every little but counts!
Every time I get up from my computer to go to the restroom, I do intervals of 20 seconds jumping jacks,10 seconds rest; 20 seconds high knees, 10 seconds rest; 20 seconds jump rope followed by 10 seconds rest. And finally, I do 20 squats or 20 wall pushups. It wakes me up and allows me to add a few extra fitness minutes into my day. It really adds up.

Howzzat for a rationalization?
Thats a pretty good explanation!
I'm still curious however, the film was delibarately vague in terms of "Treknobabble" (I guess they wanted the plot to focus more on the story) So we never actually had the function explained, normally in an episode of Star Trek, the problem would be explained and a solution would be proposed and carried out, as a result, many people are confused as to the significance of the room
As for the "Plexiglass" does anyone know if its even possible that a material of this kind could contain lethal levels of radiation?
Another thing, How did they remove Spock's body without, as McCoy stated "Flooding the whole compartment"? would there be some kind of "Decontamination System" (if so why did they not just use that in the first place?) and although it sounds pretty grim, Spock's body would still be emitting lethal levels of radiation, did they simply beam him into the Photon Tube?
IIRC, Captain Esteban voiced concerns of radiation contamination in TSFS ("We're picking up radiation from the lifeform Saavik"), would this radiation be "Planetary Radiation" or residue from Spock?

Enel Forced to Review Dividends, Investments to Meet Targets
Enel SpA, Italy's biggest power company, said it will be forced to review dividends and spending to meet debt reduction targets after the government increased taxes on energy companies.
"We'll be forced to act in order to maintain our debt reduction goal, which is of primary importance to us, and to preserve our rating," Chief Executive Officer Fulvio Conti said in an interview in Rome. "The impact of increased taxation on dividends and investment flow will be assessed and reviewed in our next strategic plan" in March.
Enel became Europe's most-indebted power company after buying Spain's Endesa SA in 2007 and has pledged to cut debt to 36.5 billion euros ($50 billion) in 2015 from a current 46.1 billion euros. That task became harder in August after Silvio Berlusconi's government raised a tax on power producers' profits by 4 percentage points to improve the country's finances.
The government imposed the levy, known as the Robin Hood tax, as part of a package of austerity measures that aimed to shore up investor confidence after government bond yields surged to euro-area records on concern Italy might fall victim to the region's debt crisis. The cost of insuring Enel's debt has risen 34 percent since the tax increase was announced.
Shares closed down 3.1 percent at 3.48 euros in Milan today after falling as much as 5.2 percent in earlier trading, the biggest intraday drop in a month. The company has a market value of 32.7 billion euros.
Highest Yield
Enel, which sells electricity to 61 million clients in 40 countries, has the highest dividend yield among Europe's 25 largest utilities, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Conti said the dividend will remain "generous." A company spokesman said today that while the company plans to keep the payout ratio at 60 percent of profits, the tax increase may reduce the pool available for dividends. That could be offset by reduced investments, he said, adding that any decisions will be made known in March. Enel said in September the tax increase would add about 400 million euros a year to costs between 2011 and 2013.
"The government is forcing us not to transfer the costs to clients and so they're reducing our ability to invest and pay dividends," Conti said. While he said the company would likely "drop some smaller investments," he declined to estimate how much the dividend could be cut.
Enel said in March it planned to invest 31 billion euros in the next five years on grids and digital meters, renewable energy, and power plants in Russia, Slovakia and Latin America. The company proposed a dividend of 0.28 euros a share, a current yield of 7.8 percent. The biggest beneficiary of payments is the Italian state, which owns 31 percent of the utility.
'Correct Strategy'
"Conti is right to keep his eye on debt reduction because that's what the market wants, his strategy is correct and one can see that he's had experience as a CFO," said Patrizio Pazzaglia, head of financial investments at Bank Insinger de Beaufort NV in Rome, which holds Enel shares. "Enel's dividend is very attractive and would likely stay that way even with a small reduction."
Following downgrades of Italy by Fitch Ratings, Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service, many Italian state-owned or controlled companies also received rating cuts. While Moody's did cut its credit rating on Enel, S&P affirmed the company's A- /A-2 credit rating on Sept. 21, assessing its link with Italian sovereign debt "as limited."
Stable Rating
A stable rating is valued by companies because it limits the cost of funding. Credit default swaps to insure Enel debt for five years stand at 272 basis points, up from 202 basis points on Aug. 8. That means it costs $272,000 a year to protect $10 million of debt against default for five years. Credit swaps pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt.
Enel had forecast a 32 percent increase in profit in the next five years to 2015 with net ordinary income reaching 5.8 billion euros. Conti said it was too early to quantify the precise impact of the tax on earnings, adding that geographic diversification would help the company overcome the economic difficulties in Europe.
"The company is showing strong resilience and 2011 numbers will be good," Conti said. "We'll continue to extract good cash flow and continue to seek efficiency by cutting costs."

Re: Airport Extreme and Comcast in response to PKGMHello PKGM. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
With the AirPort Extreme connected to the modem, try the following, in order, until resolved. At each step verify, whether or not, you can access the Internet.
1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
o Power-off the modem, AEBSn, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
o Power-off the modem, AEBSn, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

Re: Airport Extreme and Comcast in response to PKGM SolvedHope you've got your problem fixed by now. I was in the same situation two days ago when Comcast installed cable at our house and we went from AT&T dsl to Comcast cable. The installers were 30 min. late beyond their 3-hr. window. Then it took about 3 hrs. to do the new installation with me helping some. So when it came time to hook up the computers, I only got the emac hooked up to the RCA dhg535 modem. I figured I could do the airport extreme (AX) hook-up later.
It had been a year since I had messed with the AX (also I'm pushing 60 and forget a lot), but after about three hours of trying stuff and a second call to Comcast when a helpful lady told me to RESET the RCA modem. That was the key. Just as Tesserax said in his Step 1. But she also told me to unplug the modem, saying nothing about taking out the battery, as Tesserax suggests in a later step.
When I could not get the AX to connect to the modem, I tried to hook up my son's computer, an imac, directly to the modem. There is only one ethernet-out connection on the modem so if you are going to connect more than one computer, you must use that one ethernet connection to go to the AX. But, first things first, I just wanted to see if I could connect up the other machine directly. I couldn't. That's when I made the second call to Comcast and talked to the helpful lady.
With all this trouble, I could always connect to the emac--hot-swapping--turning nothing off. When I RESET (using a straightened paperclip to push through the little hole for a few seconds) I was able to connect the imac, but then I could not connect to the emac. So the modem is configured to whatever machine it is attached to AFTER it is reset!
Then I RESET the modem again and attached it to the AX. Success. I was able to hardwire my emac (it's not wireless) to the AX and connect the imac wirelessly to the AX.
About connecting . . . it's almost automatic. I did NOT use PPPoE, only TCP/IP with "Using DHCP" from the pull-down menu. I learned that the key initial there is "D" for dynamic--the IP address, subnet mask, and router entries would fill themselves out. I did not have to "manually" enter any numbers.
Hope this helps someone out; I know I've been helped many times by reading about what others have done.
By the way, here in Atlanta, Comcast is faster, but now I've got a strange buzz on my telephone line. I'll worry about that tomorrow . . . or maybe next week.
jeffrey888 Dec 15, 2007 11:53 PM
Re: Airport Extreme and Comcast in response to TesseraxI've tried these tips. I also spoke with Comcast. We did several modem resets, in different ways, and several power downs. I also had Comcast do an automatic modem reset. The modem still won't recognize the AEBSn. Any other suggestions? I refuse to believe that the AEBSn does not work.
Atlantan Dec 16, 2007 10:56 AM
Re: Airport Extreme and Comcast in response to jeffrey888I assume that you are able to connect directly with the Comcast modem to one of your computers. Is that true? If so, you should be able to RESET and then connect directly to your other computer.
If this is so, you should be able to connect to your AXBSn. Unless, your location and settings are NOT set up properly--I still don't understand all of that well, but I was able to get my AX hooked up.
If you can't get the AX on line, there is a chance that the fault lies there. Maybe you can get it checked out at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store.
If the AX is OK, the fault must lie with the Comcast Modem. Wish you luck--my time in **** only lasted for 4 hours.

Vietnam to Cut Deposit Rate Cap to Spur Economic Growth
Vietnam's central bank will cut the dong deposit rate cap by two percentage points next week as policy makers attempt to revive the economy after inflation slowed to the lowest since 2010.
The cap will be 9 percent from 11 percent currently and will take effect June 11, State Bank of Vietnam Governor Nguyen Van Binh told the National Assembly today. The reduction is in line with easing consumer price gains and will support companies, Binh said, adding that declines in borrowing costs still don't "meet the needs of businesses."
A slowdown in the Vietnamese economy is hurting companies amid a credit crunch after the central bank raised borrowing costs last year to fight what was then the fastest inflation in Asia. Gross domestic product grew 4 percent in the first quarter, the slowest since 2009, and the pace of expansion for the full year may be in a range of 5.2 percent to 5.5 percent, Deputy Minister of Planning & Investment Cao Viet Sinh, said in an interview this week.
"The central bank is trying to reduce the funding cost of banks, hoping that banks will pass on the benefit to the ultimate consumer," said Prakriti Sofat, a Singapore-based economist at Barclays Plc. "The move will likely encourage more consolidation in the banking sector, in line with what the central bank wants, since weak banks may find it difficult to source funding."
The central bank move aims to increase lending, she said.
Access to Funds
Companies are still finding it hard to access cheap funds from banks, Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, deputy chairwoman of the legislative body said today. Current lending rates are currently as high as 18.5 percent, the State Bank of Vietnam said in a statement on its website yesterday.
The central bank lowered its refinancing rate, discount rate and repurchase rate by one percentage point in each of the last three months.
The Vietnamese government asked the central bank to speed up lending-rate cuts after consumer-price gains eased, according to a resolution on the government website May 10. Inflation slowed to a 21-month low of 8.34 percent in May. Binh forecasts consumer prices will rise 0.2 percent in June from May.
"If this is followed by cuts in other policy rates, it might be interpreted that the government is over-concerned about stimulating growth," said Kevin Snowball, the Ho Chi Minh City-based chief executive of PXP Vietnam Asset Management. "If this is not followed by cuts in other policy rates, then it creates more of a net interest margin, which may encourage banks to make more loans."
The central bank has injected about 180 trillion dong ($8.6 billion) into the economy, Binh said, calling it a "huge" amount.
"Liquidity in the banking system has improved significantly," he said.
The Southeast Asian economy will grow at least 5.2 percent this year, Binh said. The year-end inflation rate is forecast to be 7 percent to 8 percent, he said today.

"Helena crushed a snowfall record Thursday, and was on the way to doing the same Friday," says this article on helenair.com.
Helena saw 8.8 inches of snow Thursday. The previous snowfall record for Nov. 8 was 2.3 inches, set in 1903.
Total snow accumulation could hit nearly 14 inches in downtown Helena, which would put Thursday and Friday among the top for highest snowfall in a two-day period for the month of November, said Zach Uttech, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Great Falls. As of noon on Friday, the two-day total was 12.6 inches.
Higher elevations should see an additional 5-10 inches, he added.
As of 4 p.m. Friday, Montana Highway Patrol reported 46 wrecks across the whole state, including four jack-knifed semitrailers.

Fantastično, Maestra.
Jaz bi sicer dala zraven lak v moji najljubši barvi, vendar mi je tudi tvoja kombinacija zelo všeč.
7 comments
Last week I went for a bit of window shopping (and then shopping) and I realized that there's a lot of snake skin prints out there in the fashion world for this spring. I don't have anything against that, which is obvious as I bought a hand bag and a pair of shoes with snake skin print. I just think that snake skin prints are a bit demanding when it comes to combining it with clothes and accessories. I mean, the pattern alone is lovely but I think that it can look too much very easily. However, if you combine it wisely it can look very classy.
Here's the shoes and the hand bag I have bought and accessories I'll combine them with.
I'll probably wear mostly black clothes with these shoes and bag, so my accessories are going to be a bit louder and mostly red and black.
I was thinking what manicure would go with such outfit. Of course red would be your first pick, but I'm not a red manicure type of person, so I tried something else …
I know you can't see the manicure in the picture above. Here's your standard photo of my konadicure …
I started with two coats of Ciate – Velvet Tuxedo, which is a wonderful black with fine silver shimmer. Then I added a pattern from the fauxnad IP H22 with the China Glaze – Sci-Fi polish from the Khrome collection.
And here's an EOTD I created today just for this post purposes. I don't like it very much, but OK … here it is …
Sweetscents: Satin Slipper and Carbon
The She Space: Baited Breathe and Wilted Roses
Alverde – Smaragd gel liner
And you already know what comes next, right?
What do you think of my pick of shoes, handbag, accessories, konadicure and … well, everything?
I have to say or write, that I love the shoes. These are the most comfy pumps I've ever worn and don't usually wear high heels. The handbag is a great addition to the whole outfit. The necklaces are of course great as I made them myself. Konadicure turned out even better than I thought it would. And the silk scarf. My dear bought it for me years ago. The only thing I'm not satisfied with is the make up. It looks as if it doesn't belong here. What do you think?
April 14, 2010 at 17:09
Great post! Snakeskin has always been my favorite animal print!
April 14, 2010 at 11:31
I just love the shoes, necklaces and the manicure.
Verjamem, da kombinacija na tebi izgleda za dol past odlično. MU je pa tudi superca, edino mogoče za k kakšnemu drugačnemu stilu.

where to cop?
the denim sux, and I personally don't like the colour of the orange thread on the MIJ's ( I think it looks a bit dull and cheap)
Nah I know what you mean, but I really like the fit of my Diors, and I saw these over at SUFU, so I think it can be done.
Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.
$250ish I am pretty sure is where they start at.
add $100 to that for raws. all washed pairs are obviously more expensive
No, you can get a bunch of brands for over $300. They aren't necessarily good, but SE, and BiG aren't the only places that have jeans worth $300+.
Originally posted by Inactive Userdenim shops in ueno and take 5 are better than SE and BiG by far...
I think he was implying that the only jeans worth $300+ are ones sold exclusively at places like SE and BiG;; further implication would be that the quality of dior is not worth the money, but of course one may argue the cuts/washes are .
p.s. if anyone wants dior dark cloud jeans in a 32 pm me.
im gunna go ahead and dickride my own shit.
i have mij raws and ive dry cleaned them once in the past year and a half, and they look fucking sick. i might never wash, or i might wait til 2 years. but trust me, you can definitely fade diors nicely as long as youre patient

It's nearly impossible to imagine conducting business today without electronic mail.
From the early 1970s, when an engineer, sitting at one computer, experimented by sending a message to himself on another computer right beside the first, email has become a crucial tool for communicating in the digital age. The equivalent of electronic letters, written without putting pen (or even printer ink) to paper, billions of messages traverse the globe daily from one computer to another in the same building, or across continents, almost instantaneously.
Email use will nearly double in the next four years, as the number of active mailboxes increases from 1.4 billion users this year to 2.5 billion in 2010, according to the Radicati Group, a Palo Alto, Calif. market research firm. Radicati estimates that 183 billion email messages were sent per day by the end of 2006.
"There's no doubt that email in the workplace is the electronic communications tool of choice," says Nancy Flynn, director of the ePolicy Institute.
How email works
Early email involved sending monochromatic text from one computer to another, and evolved to allow communication using images, photos, and sound (via attachments). Once relegated to computers running an email application, email is now readily available via Internet browsers, and hence accessible via portable devices including cell phones.
The way email works is simple: someone types the address of the recipient, a subject, and a message, hits send, and the message is routed to its recipient. When the recipient logs in to his or her email account, or the next time the application collects messages, the message will appear in his or her email inbox. But how does the message get delivered?
An email address is similar to a physical address: it indicates the person and location where the message will be delivered. In the address user@domain, for example, "user" is the intended recipient of the message, the @ sign separates the individual user's name from the name of the server or domain, and "domain" is the site where that user's mail is managed, similar to the street, city, state and zip code in old fashioned "snail mail" (sent using the U.S. Postal Service).
Transmission facilitated by protocols
The message is transmitted across wires (or wirelessly) from the recipient's computer or device, to a business's server, for example, or a server run by an Internet Service Provider. Software protocols direct the mail to its destination. A protocol called Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) forwards or directs mail from the sender to the recipient. Another protocol called Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) in essence pulls the message down from the server to which it was sent and into the application or browser interface on the recipient's desktop (or PDA or phone). Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP) allows a local client to access mail on a remote server. Most applications support all three protocols, which do the background work to route messages to the correct destination.
Besides an email address and email account, an email application is required for sending and receiving email. Writing a message requires an email application, like Microsoft Outlook, running on a PC or PDA, or an Internet browser that allows a user to gain access to email services running on a host -- whether it's a company's mail server, or a free email service like Gmail or Hotmail.
Regardless of the email application, one thing is for certain: email use has enabled small and mid-size businesses to better respond to customers, do business across long distances, and keep communication costs low.
