One of the first moves of the Obama administration was a $787 billion government stimulus in early 2009 to prop up an ailing economy. Many conservatives these days are focused on reining in government spending -- and this undoubtedly will be a talking point in the days to come as GOP candidates and the president hunker down for Election Day 2012.
Was the stimulus just one more Washington boondoggle -- a handout to special interests that wasted taxpayer money when we already are up to our eyeballs in debt? Or was it a crucial intervention in a time of great need that helped prevent a recession from turning into a depression or worse?
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has just come out with its report on the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (referred to in the document as ARRA in typical beltway affection for acronyms and jargon). And its findings on the real impact of the stimulus package are worth noting:
Real Deficit Impact Is 5% Higher: The CBO estimates the total deficit impact of the spending actually will be $825 billion. That's a roughly 5% increase over that headline $787 billion price tag initially reported.
The Money Already Is Spent: But more importantly, "close to half of that (deficit) impact occurred in fiscal year 2010, and about 85 percent of ARRA's budgetary impact was realized by the end of June 2011." In short, lest politicians tell you otherwise, the horse has left the barn.

Number of Jobs "Created" Is Slippery: The CBO gives the GOP fodder for criticism of the stimulus, admitting some jobs "might have existed even without the stimulus package, with employees working on the same activities or other activities." Then again, the office also gives Obama wiggle room by saying jobs estimates "do not attempt to measure the number of jobs that were created or retained indirectly as a result of recipients' increased income, and the increased income of their employees." That means pinning down a hard figure for jobs created on this is less about facts and more about finding the right statistics to make your argument.
Cost Per Job Between $196,750 and $562,000: Like I said, the jobs numbers are slippery. But if you take the $787 billion price tag and divide by CBO estimates of 1.4 million to 4 million "full-time equivalent" jobs created as a result of the stimulus measure, per-job costs range between these two six-figure sums.

Today we went to go watch my friend in a criterion. It was my first time watching a bike race (aside from the Tour on tv.) My 3 1/2 year old son really likes this friend so he came with me. Before we left my friend told us that at noon they were having a free kids' race so we should bring the bike and helmet.
My son just stopped using training wheels a couple of weeks ago and he was SO excited for his "race." It was so dang cute! They started about 100 yards away from the start/finish line (for the 5 and unders.) There was even one little tiny kid on a trike. I got that nice maternal warmth thing going on watching him spin those tiny little wheels. He had a great time and wanted to do it again immediately. I think he's hooked. Just wanted to share... I'm looking forward to when he gets a little bit older and we can go riding together.

Substance Abuse in Patients Hospitalized with First-Episode Psychosis
Mufic, Ana Kovak, Karlovic, Dalibor, Jagodic, Tanja, Kostanjsak, Lidija, Katinic, Krizo, Vidrih, Branka, Alcoholism
Summary - The aim of the paper is to determine the prevalence of substance abuse in patients with first-episode psychosis urgently admitted to hospital treatment. The aim is also to examine the influence of substance abuse on the clinical picture of the disease and recovery. Both gender patients, aged 18-35 yrs, were included in the study. They were admitted to hospital treatment with the diagnosis of acute and transient psychosis in the period from 2004 and 2007. We compared a group of patients with substance abuse, according to ICD- 10, with a group without the abuse taking into consideration socio-demographic data, psychiatric heredity, earlier mental disorders, treatment attendance circumstances, clinical picture of the disease and the obtained remission. Alcohol and cannabinoid abuse as well as combinations of several addiction substances were represented most. The results show a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of psychoactive substance abuse regarding the patients' gender, and a statistically significant difference in the suicidality and aggression in patients with first-episode psychosis. There was no statistically significant difference between patients with and without substance abuse considering their marital status, parenthood, employment, professional qualifications, psychiatric heredity, earlier mental disorders, prevailing symptoms in the clinical picture, treatment attendance circumstances and the quality of recovery. The results of the study suggest a high prevalence of psychoactive substance abuse in patients with first-episode psychosis as well as the existence of differences in the clinical picture of the patients with the abuse in comparison with those without substance abuse.
Keywords: abuse; addiction; substances; prevalence; first-episode psychosis
Data on the prevalence of substance abuse in the psychiatric population vary considerably in the literature; they depend on the definition of the problem, therapeutic environment, demographic factors and diagnosis.1 Numerous studies have shown that the comorbidity rate of the psychoactive substance abuse or addiction and the psychiatric disease is especially high in patients suffering from a psychotic disorder. So, illegal drug abuse in schizophrenic patients is two to five times greater in comparison to general population.2-7 According to the American NLMH Epidemiological Catchment Area study, as many as 47% of the patients with the diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizophreniform disorders meet the criteria for some kind of substance abuse.8
According to data published so far, substance abuse in patients with first-episode psychosis is twice bigger in comparison to general population.9 There are several hypotheses which try to explain the greater prevalence of psychoactive substance abuse in patients suffering from schizophrenia. The particularly prominent ones are the hypothesis of common biological basis of schizophrenia and drug addiction10 and the one of the abuse as a form of self-medication. The latter theory explains the substance abuse as an attempt to reduce the symptoms of the disease, in the first place of affective deficits and social isolation, but also of anxiety due to the presence of positive symptoms.11-13
Substance abuse is connected with a worse disease prognosis, mostly with more frequent acute exacerbation, a bigger number of hospitalizations as well as their longer duration.14,15 In schizophrenic patients with alcohol abuse positive symptoms are more expressed.16 The abuse is also connected with weaker therapy adherence17 and bad social functioning of schizophrenic patients.18,15
The comorbidity of psychotic disorder and substance abuse represents, besides therapeutic, a diagnostic problem as well, since, in some cases, it is very difficult to differentiate, from a differential-diagnostic point of view, a psychotic disorder with comorbid substance abuse from a psychosis caused by the psychoactive substance abuse. …

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Working as a video editor in DC during the week. In my spare time I love to hike, bike ride, read a good book, rock climb, study up on editing or doing the odd home improvement project around my apartment. Just about anything to stay active.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
I ended up joining a skeeball league in DC this past fall and got really good at it. Every week I would win a ticket for a free beer at the bar for either highest score or most 100s rolled.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
My baby blue eyes;)
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
Favorite book is "Team of Rival" about Abraham Lincoln and how he dealt with the people in his cabinet during the Civil War.
Favorite movies would be Godfather and Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Favorite shows would probably be anything on the History or Discovery channel. Always loved history in school.
Favorite music is pretty much anything but I tend to lean towards rock and roll.
Favorite food is Italian.

The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
Besides the obvious family and friends choices:
1) Clean socks
2) Comfortable bed
3) My snowboard
4) The beach
5) My Camelbak
6) Good dark chocolate

I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
The subject that consumes a lot of my time is how to best advance my career in video editing. My goal is to one day edit a feature length movie. On a lighter note, I keep thinking about getting to the beach when the weather outside turns foul.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Hanging out with friends either at a bar, sporting event or some kind of show around town. Just trying to stay active.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Well.....I guess that I can walk on my hands and still do a backflip. I know, real crazy stuff.
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
You want good conversation, a great time and someone who can kick butt in the kitchen;)

Well, chlorinated tap water will be about 1 mg/L free Cl2, Clorox is about 53,000 mg/L free chlorine. That's quite a difference!! And remember that the pH of the Chlorox is about 11.4 according to the MSDS. That's a pretty high pH - I'm sure that has a huge affect on the hardness/strength of an emulsion.Originally Posted by gainer
I still think you are jumping to conclusions about the chorine in tap water. Especially if the water is sitting overnight, at 1 mg/L, reacting with your paper. So you have a 25 gallon tub, that's 100 litres of water, that 100 mg of chlorine. That's not much.

20 September 2017
The deeming thresholds will be reset to $30,000 for singles and $50,000 for couples from 20 September 2017 (for both pensioners and allowees). Current thresholds are $46,600 for singles, $77,400 for couples and $38,700 for members or allowee couples.
The normal deeming rules will be extended to super account based income streams for new account based income streams assessed under the pension income test rules after 1 January 2015. All superannuation pensions held before 1 January 2012 will be grandfathered indefinitely and will continue to be assessed under the existing rules for the life of the product – no current pensioner will be affected unless they choose to change products or otherwise become ineligible for the pension – even for just one fortnight.
Pensioners who have account based pensions that are "grandfathered" under the income test should be careful if reorganising their investments or taking on casual work. If a no DHS payment is made for a whole pay period, the person loses their "grandfathered" income test on their account based income stream. Some people seem to be under the misconception they lose grandfathered status only if no payment has been made for 6 consecutive fortnights.

Michael Knaapen and John Becker stood outside the Brown County clerk's office building at 6 a.m. Monday, waiting for the doors to open for their newly legalized domestic partnership rights.

Even if you're not getting an iPhone 3G, original iPhone owners and iPod Touch owners are getting a significant upgrade in functionality for a free (or nominal) price. In fact, if you don't need the faster speeds or slightly better location services that GPS brings, you're fine with sticking with the first gen.

Enphase Microinverter System Available in Greece New EMEA leadership established for continued growth and expansion Business Wire PETALUMA, Calif. & LYON, France -- April 18, 2013 Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), today announced the availability of the Enphase^® Microinverter System in Greece through authorized distribution. With shipments now in eight countries in the region, Enphase also announces the appointment Olivier Jacques as Managing Director for Enphase Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) to oversee execution and future expansion of the business. "I am focused on growing the international business for Enphase and using regional resources and relationships as leverage to capitalize on new market opportunities," said Olivier Jacques, Managing Director for Enphase EMEA. "Geographic expansion through existing distribution partnerships, while at the same time establishing new local partners, is a model that increases our market presence in Europe in an efficient and scalable way." Europe remains the world's largest solar market, and Enphase continues to gain share due to the value delivered by its pioneering technology. Last month, Enphase announced it is shipping in Switzerland through existing strategic partnerships with large PV suppliers. Following this model, the Enphase Microinverter System will be marketed and sold in Greece through an official network of authorized distributors. Greece presents favorable conditions for the solar industry due to its geography, climate and plentiful solar irradiation. Over the last few years the solar market has grown rapidly. According to NPD Solarbuzz Marketbuzz 2013 report, the market was 414MW in 2011. Growth continued in 2012 based upon strong PV economics, and in spite of the country's financial constraints, NPD Solarbuzz reported the market reached 961MW. The Greek government is also targeting the solar sector as a way to bolster the weak economy. On March 27^th, the launch of a close cooperation between Greece and Germany (with the support of an EU Commission's Task Force for Greece) was announced in the field of renewable energy. The cooperation involves technical assistance for investments from the Task Force, with the German environment ministry co-financing the first stage of the program.

Grow FAQ
So i work on these pastures and im normally a kind bud smoker who can easily tell the difference between ditch weed and true high grade weed, but the buds on these 'ditch' plants along the fence caught my eye. i noticed at the very tip of the plant there were two or three small reddish hairs and in the sunlight i could see a good deal of crystals on the buds and leaves. Also the plant smelled skunky and was sticky to the touch. The buds were made mostly of pods with little seeds in them, im guessing which are what sprout the white hairs that eventually turn brown-i dont know much about cultivation. Anyone know whats going on? If for some reason it is good weed can i pick it before the first hard frost (which is coming soon), and grow it inside or something?
where did you find it, is it ditch weed? if it a natural weed then it will finish before the frost otherwise it would not exist on its own
u said it has seeds plant a few
can u get any pictures
yea plant a few seeds but someone will get fuckin mad at u if u take it.
lets talk about death baby
yeah dude dont take it, it may be someones years work for thier winter meds.
Immagine your heart break after growing your supply all season only for some parasite of a human being to enjoy the fruits of someone elses labor, kind of reminds me of the cu-cu bird syndrome

Sorry if I'm repeating anything covered before- there is so much stuff on here! I want to get a few
and ducks (ideally buff orpingtons, indian runners, silver appleyard or khaki campbell, with buff orpington [chicken], sussex, plymouth rock or salmon faverolles), have done a bit of research and have a few questions:
1) Is it better to have a duck or chicken house with a weldmesh floor or solid floor (I live in the UK so we get cold spells sometimes)- I've heard they can catch their feet on chickenwire but would weldmesh be okay?
2) Can ducks & chickens peacefully coexist in the same run, or even the same house at night? Can they be fed the same
or do they steal each others?
3) How often should their run be moved around to prevent parasite build up?
4) How much
would 2 ducks need (depth & width) for it not to go murky, and how often should I take them off & give them a paddling pool to prevent parasite build up?
5) What annual and perennial crops (I am East Coast UK) can I plant in their run for them to forage naturally, without them being totally decimated?
Any other tips?

I didnt'have ducks for long but I do remember that most people do not give them access to any water unless it is a natural
. if you do, you have to change the water several times per day because they make it so nasty. they usually put large chains in the watering device here to prevent them from playing in it and completly emtpying it within hours. mine did that. I fed my ducks the same mash I fed chicks and they grew well. i prefer a dirt floor for all houses. the poops get stuck on wire floors and dont' always fall through. how often it needs to be moved depends on how many you have.

I have chickens and ducks (Muscovies) happily co-existing.
I don't use
systems (it would be impossible on my hillside) but I do have a large pen (between 500 and 600 square feet). Everyone seems to get along fine, with a few minor skirmishes now and again but that happens even among the same species members, too.
My coop is too small for the number of birds I have but the ducks don't seem too inclined to spend that much time inside anyway. Even in the snow we got so much of last year and in all the rain that is so typical here, the ducks spend more time outside than they do inside.
I have a chicken waterer in there that the ducks can't get in and make a mess out of. I also have a plastic kiddie pool for them which I change daily; a couple of times a week, I scoop out the yucky water and use it on my plants.
As far as coop floors, I much prefer plain old dirt with wood shavings. I used to do animal sitting and one of my clients had wooden floors in her several coops (she had a lot of birds!) and the ammonia smell was overwhelming. Whew! Really, really bad on a hot summer day!
As far as food, my ducks get the same thing my chickens do: 16% layer pellets and scratch. Ducklings can have chick starter but are not supposed to have the type labeled as "

I live in Oregon USA 43° lat, live in the city and have ducks and chickens
Here are my responses to your questions:
1) Is it better to have a duck or chicken house with a weldmesh floor or solid floor (I live in the UK so we get cold spells sometimes)- I've heard they can catch their feet on chickenwire but would weldmesh be okay?
Do not use chicken wire, as you say it rusts out to easily and then is a problem for you and your animals. If you have predator issues do use welded-wire (weldmesh). I like to build up the area where the house is to go with wood-chips (creating high ground hill keeps the area dryer), next lay down the wire extending around the house a foot or two outside the walls (stops chickens from digging out their own house
. Then place/build the house on top and fill inside with leaves (not chips) about 1-2 feet deep - totally stops any smell, and chickens compost this material up for you and your garden adding their own nutrients. In addition it is good to have the roof extend out 1-2 feet past the walls to further protect against the wet and weather. Oregon can be a wet place....
2) Can ducks & chickens peacefully coexist in the same run, or even the same house at night? Can they be fed the same feed or do they steal each others?
Yes, and Yes, and Yes..... You will have to address separate water and feeding provisions as mentioned by Cinebar above, but what you feed can be the same mix. I would add that when you feed ducks completely they are not the foragers (bug eaters) they would otherwise be. For this reason, pest foraging/elimination, I would NOT pen my ducks.
I start my ducks and chickens off together (heat lamp, food and all), but then at 3 or 4 months the chickens get introduced to the chicken house/pen and the ducklings are given free range of the backyard. I do not free-feed the ducks, just a cup or so per Indian-runner per day. This keeps them serious about cleaning my
for juicy bugs. The feed increases a bit in the winter. They have their own crock for water and small plastic pool for swimming. I keep the pool on my patch of lawn in the summer time, dumping on the grass every day and refilling. In the winter I move them into the ivy, dump about once a week as the yard has lots of fresh puddles occurring naturally.
3) How often should their run be moved around to prevent parasite build up?
I do not move my chick house/run as my land/space is limited. However I add fresh materials to their area all spring, summer and fall - by the foot in depth (grass, hay, leaves, etc.). I hose down their house inside once in the spring and once in the fall (for dust mostly). I use nothing but water,
materials inside and out, and a little
in each next box when I change the shavings/straw. I have never had a parasite problem.
I also give my birds DE in their feed, and their feed is a natural mix not processed feed-store mix. Keeping the ground deep in litter naturally helps the birds to avoid their own droppings, and to recycle *grin* and compost. In the summer I add water to the litter in their run keeping the microbes on the job breaking down harmful bacteria before it builds up. And in the spring I remove the now dirt from inside their house and out using it for my raised garden beds, and placing new leaves, grass and hay in it's place. Anytime I need soil I go to the chicken area.
4) How much water would 2 ducks need (depth & width) for it not to go murky, and how often should I take them off & give them a paddling pool to prevent parasite build up?
Ducks continuously wash their bills in water. So any water will grow dirty/murky. I have no experience with ponds made for ducks so I cannot say what size you would need, or how often it's water would need to circulate.
Regarding water dishes and pools - I make water dish & pool flushing easy for me #1, and contribute to second use #2. This way changing the water is a win win. For example, in the summer I have to water a small patch of lawn anyway so I keep the duck water dish and pool on the lawn, I blast their droppings into liquid fertilizer, and blast out their dishes adding new water to everything as I go. This hands-on approach keeps me close to what is going on with my animals, yard and garden. By having a water dish that the ducks cannot swim in I insure they have much cleaner water for their needs than just a wading pool.
I change/clean out the water dishes in the winter for ducks and chickens daily or every other day, depending on the rains at the time. This is more than what is needed (over-kill) I know, but I like fresh clean water for my animals (just a thing with me).
5) What annual and perennial crops (I am East Coast UK) can I plant in their run for them to forage naturally, without them being totally decimated?
My chickens have taken out long established English Ivy, small shrubs and
- so this I cannot advise you on. Unless you move your chickens regularly they will clear an area - from my experience. So chicken's I pen, ducks I allow to free range.
Ducks do need protection from larger predators, a dog or good
works well for this, and they do not need shelter. Mine can be found during a harsh storm to be out in the middle of it resting and not seeking any shelter (crazy).
With my ducks and chickens my pest problems are gone and I have hard working composters so I am saved two hard jobs....on the urban homestead!

Have you been to Corrales Bosque Gallery? It's a co-operative. And not like La Montanita. (Hey, hey. Take it easy. I'm a member. Nob Hill branch.) But a true co-op. Each of the 20 belonging artists pays an annual membership fee and commits about seven hours of gallery supervision per month. By virtue of this structure, there is no one on payroll; the artists run the shop, manage the space, keep the books, handle the publicity, conceive and create the product. Just as they have for the last decade and a half. And all while they fundraise for the community, whether to sponsor the teen artist series at Corrales Public Library or to support the mission of Road Runner food bank.
Around this time of year, gallery members--some of whom are quite well known beyond the bounds of our fair state--design and produce ornaments. Beautiful ornaments.

Anti-Borg technology and tactics

Re: Anti-Borg technology and tactics
1) They don't HAVE any superiors.
That sounds really, really implausible. They have a space station and a starship, both Starfleet issue, and they report to Admiral Kirk in at least some capacity. By the looks of the security arrangements, their research is behind generic Starfleet seals, rather than in Kirk's private archives. And they toy with entire planets.
If anything, I'd think they do a lot more paperwork than the average skunk works that only develops weapons one can test in a closed range a Klingon agent would be hard pressed to penetrate...
It was nobody's business but Carol's HOW Genesis worked, only THAT it worked, and to what extent.
With something this big, the standard procedure ITRW would be that Carol would have to give weekly urine samples and reports on who she had sex with, how, for how long, and what he said about it. If Carol tried to say "Trust me, I'm doing my job, you'll see the results when it's finished", ITRW they'd first have to fire her and then have to kill her.
Stage One was evidently completed without any Federation assistance at all
...Except for the entire setup where Carol gets a lab, a team and a planetoid, eventually complete with a cave that must cost the taxpayers a fortune in no-this-is-not-money if it tied down Starfleet's finest for so long. SCE would definitely say "no thanks" if Carol had nothing to show for her progress on Stage One.
IOW, they did NOT provide component-by-component reports on Genesis to the Federation because that data didn't belong to the Federation and they had no right to receive it in the first place.
To the contrary, there's no reason to believe
had any rights to the research she was conducting. It would be extremely rarely ITRW that somebody like her would. It's not a commercial product she's developing, it's the next Manhattan Project. David had the right idea all along: the research is Starfleet's to take, and they don't have to ask for permission from Carol's team or even the government because they know that Carol's direct boss is Admiral Kirk.
That is, it's clear the
and its Captain Terrell don't have the authority to take Genesis, despite the big guns and the shoulder brass. But the name of Kirk changes everything. Carol despairs over the issue of "proper authorization", an issue where Kirk's word apparently is crucial - meaning he can give this authorization or deny it. Kirk (or the government through him) owns Genesis, Carol just works for him (that is, for the government).

Ambering Rose is a gorgeous blush. The colour is a lovely deep bronzey red, with gold shimmer. I have a very fair skin tone, and this blush looks amazing. Do not be scared by how dark this blush looks in the pan, it is very sheer when applied carefully. I would definitely buy this product again.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Dark, Warm
Hair: Black, Relaxed, Medium

Definitely HG material. I am NC42, and this blush works great with my skin tone. I have a range of MAC blushes, and this is definitely one of my favourites. Highly pigmented, and easy to blend. I definitely recommend this, especially for you lovely ladies with darker skin tones!
Age: 36-43
Skin: Normal, Medium, Cool

Beautiful reddish bronze color ~ more red/pinkish than NARS Lovejoy, which is one of my absolute favorite blushes of all time. I have a NW35 complexion and this looks amazing. Slight shimmer, great pigmentation, good staying power. Fairer skin tones shouldn't shy away from this one either ~ light application is the key. I would buy this one again!

This is a beautiful blush, a tad bit dark on my NW20 skin tone during the winter months but gorgeous when I have a tan during the summer. I don't wear this often...the main reason I wanted to review this was to pass this tidbit along...it's basically the EXACT same color as Sunbasque, only a couple of shades darker. Go for Sunbasque if you're on the fairer side and you want a shade like this you can wear year round.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Dark, Cool
Hair: Blond, Curly, Medium

Just beautiful!!!! A stunner....I purchased this blush after reading so many reviews from fellow MUer's. Another name for this blush could be Antique Rose....Because its a femimine yet modern take on my grandmother's rose blush. This is definitely HG material.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Very Oily, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I'm NC35 for reference. This blush is good, not amazing but not bad. I like using this for the fall/winter because it gives a nice redish flush without looking too pink. I'm not a big fan of sheertone finishes which is why I wouldn't repurchase. I have to build it up quite a bit on my brush before it even shows up.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Olive, Warm
Hair: Black, Curly, Coarse

this was my first mac blush and i love it! the shimmer looks beautiful in the sunlight! the color looks lovely on my complextion. this blush did a good impression and i will be coming back for more!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Red, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
I fell in love with this gorgeous shade as I'm becoming more adventurous and leaving my pink blush comfort zone. Sadly I just couldn't get this shade to work for my fair complexion. I looked like I got a sun burn or have a fever.
I gave this to a friend with a way darker complexion than me and she loves it. Looks beautiful on her and very natural too. I'm still giving this a 5 because it's not MAC's fault this shade didn't work for me. It deserves a 5 because with the right complexion this can look beautiful. It's highly pigmented with a silky texture making application and blending easy, and the shimmer is very soft and not chunky in your face glitter.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Dark, Cool
Hair: Black, Kinky, Coarse
Eyes: Brown
Ok. . ... I think I'm probably the only WOC (NW 45) that isn't RAVING about this blush. I don't know, it's a pretty color, I just don't think it's that great.......on ME. I'm looking to swap this out because I can't find the receipt so if you're interested in swapping, let me know. :-)
Age: 19-24

I absolutely love this blush. I generally stick to the more pink/peach blushes but I needed a deeper blush for the winter so i picked ambering rose at my local mac and i immediately fell in love with it. but you do need to use a light hand to apply this, too much looks too too heavy so apply lightly then build it as you please. i have a grip of blushes so i prolly wont hit pan with this one but if i do, i will def repurchase.

In short, I always knew that I needed much more than ceremonies and accolades to believe myself valuable in any meaningful sense. It had to come from measurable accomplishments rather than from the mere potential thereof.
It doesn't help that the ego-massage tools available today are far more powerful than any that have previously existed. These days, kids can socially engineer their own behind-kissing universe, adding Facebook "friends" who "like" every thought, while casting off or "unfriending" those who don't fit a kid's self-perception.
No one in this little universe of a kid's own creation will even so much as criticize their horrible spelling, because this virtual universe will ultimately come to reflect who that person perceives himself to be, and his level of intelligence or lack thereof. No one who's a flake in real life has Facebook friends who'll ever impose critical thinking upon him. The person will see himself reflected positively in a tranquil virtual sea of blissful ignorance and mediocrity.
This is how the world has come to be flooded with overconfident uselessness -- with the kind of people who demand that the "one percent" spread the wealth while refusing to take the harder road of identifying their own talents and finding ways to prove their own worth, never mind what the "one percent" happen to be doing with their own lives. As far as these self-absorbed souls are concerned, the world simply has yet to recognize their greatness in the same way their parents and Facebook friends have done -- and that's mostly Wall Street's fault.
Some critics of McCullough's speech have said that telling kids how unspecial they are before they enter the real world is just mean, because they're bound to discover their lack of uniqueness very quickly when they emerge from their protective bubble.
Wrong. It's not like they're going to have some sort of epiphany. They'll just find someone else to blame.

Astro Gaming's latest wireless headset pwns in 7.1
For the most part, Astro Gaming has succeeded in creating what's likely to be the next hot gaming headset. Yes, $300 is a steep price considering how much consoles go for, but it's still closely aligned with competing products like Turtle Beach's $270 XP500. It's clear Astro isn't just dabbling in the home market anymore: It's making an earnest bid to unseat other headset makers. If you've been looking for wireless gaming headphones, then this belongs on your shortlist alongside the $270 XP500/$250 PX5 and maybe even the $270 Tritton Warhead (when it stops being vaporware, that is). What if we had to choose, you say (especially in comparison to the wireless A40 system)? We'd say it looks like you've got some great options for serious in-game sound.

The Astro Gaming A50s take all the goodness in the A40s, and take it fully wireless but integrating the 5.8 Wireless Mixamp into the actual headset. Talk about making a great headset greater. The sound quality, comfortable, and look is all there like with the A40, and the adding of wireless make...Read the full review →
Functionally they are great - except that if you have everything set up with PS4 (headset and mixamp) and you want to occasionally play using your regular speakers instead of A50, you can't hear other people talking because their voice is going to your turned off A50 and the only way to get it to...Read the full review →

Great headphones, and an awesome headset. Audio quality is great. I do wish they'd made the earphone cups a tad bigger though. Range is pretty good, although if you turn your head a certain way it will drop out.Read the full review →

Just noticed that the new issue of Gibecire is due to be released soon. Here's the description from the Conjuring Arts website :
"Vol. 1 No. 2, Summer 2006. Our new issue is at the printer and due back soon. In it you'll find new articles from Albrecht Heeffer, Mike Caveney and Mitsunobu Matsuyama."
"Where the first issue of Gibecire laid the groundwork hoped for by Conjuring Arts Research Center, this second issue realizes it to a degree that is gratifying. The main goal of the organization is to create a worldwide network of researchers and historians who will, through cooperation, be enabled to aid each other in uncovering the history of the age-old practice of conjuring. This issue provides sound examples on which to evaluate our progress. In the opening article, Mitsunobu Matsuyama begins his investigation into Japanese magic, how it spread to the western world and the roles both Japanese and western magicians played in the process of its assimilation. In exploring his topic, Mr. Matsuyama made contact with researchers in various countries."
In addition, on the Conjuring Arts site, they have an article entitled "Card Men of Mystery, Installment I: The Mysterious Charlier". It is a chapter excerpted from Hoffmann's "Conjurer Dick".
