Yesterday my students had to turn in their final "fun" projects. This is the weekend where I go through them all, where they blow me away with their insight and their skill. They have only a very few requirements to the project.
They are not allowed to write an essay or do a research paper.
They must put in a minimum amount of time (most far exceed it).
They have to show me they learned something.
I tell them to have fun.
One of the first projects handed in, early, was a standing cardboard figure with my life-sized face upon it, the body, front and back, covered with a collage of things relating to what we have studied and/or talked about.
Yesterday evening, my wife was in stitches as she read "Bernstein v. Terrorists (2009), an imaginative construction by several of my students in which certain (Canadian) terrorists threaten the US because they had once lost a trivia bet to me. Let me simply say that the students found clever ways of covering material while at the same time also finding ways of skewering their teacher. As my wife put, they really got me right. Let me say that this one, but not the only, project to demonstrate that one never knows what students will recall from a class . . . and I wish I could share the whole thing with you, but it is not in the public domain.
One project is. The students involved put it up on YouTube. Two students worked together. They each have multiple gifts, and both always have a positive attitude towards their learning, even when on occasion the work has not come easily. They researched and found what they wanted to use. One is quite skillful with video, as she has shown on occasions outside my class.
Since I will be offline much of today - 3 hours each way to the Virginia campaign kickoff in Williamsburg - let this serve as my diary for the day. There is not much need for commentary on my part. This is one of several outstanding projects I have received this. Please watch and see how blessed I am to have the chance to work with such students.
"A child's learning is the function more of the characteristics of his classmates than those of the teacher." James Coleman, 1972
. . .a pupil attitude factor, which appears to have a stronger relationship to achievement than do all the "school" factors together, is the extent to which an individual feels that he has some control over his own destiny. James Coleman, 1966

We were out and about today, and stopped to get lunch with a very... food-pushing family member who was with us. You know the type. "Oh, this looks good! You should try that! This once won't hurt...!"
I fall for it. Every. single. time. I mean to calculate points beforehand, order light things on the menu, etc, but somehow usually end up pigging out. I'm one of those people who have a damn hard time resisting temptation when it's right in front of me.
Well, today I did. I looked up the food before ordering, calculated points, and had an awesome lunch for 11p! It was more than what I normally spend on lunch, but still - I did good! I made up for it with a 6p dinner! :D Stayed within my point limit for the day, AND had points leftover for a 2p cheese snack! I am so proud of myself! This is literally the first time I've been able to resist while eating out!

Stood up
Actress and United Nations Fund for Women Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman was on Capitol Hill Wednesday testifying and lobbying for the International Violence Against Women Act. Along with the rest of the eager press contingent, G2 awaited her arrival at a post-testimony press reception ... and waited ... and waited ...
Rep. Bill Delahunt, Massachusetts Democrat, kicked off the reception with what - at the time - was his idea of a joke, saying, "I'm here subbing for Nicole Kidman," which was met with looks of surprise and a barely audible collective groan from the room packed with reporters. "I thought I'd get that kind of reaction," he laughed.
More than an hour later, after several more speakers took their turn at the podium - still no Miss Kidman. G2 was regularly assured by one representative for the event, "She's coming."
Alas, she never did. Perhaps Mr. Delahunt knew better than the rest of us after all.
Puppy love
Proving that compassion and brawn can go hand in hand, tough-guy athletes Shaone Morrisonn of the Washington Capitals and Clyde Simms of D.C. United visited the Whittier Educational Center in the District Tuesday with a couple of canine companions to meet and greet fifth-graders.
Mr. Morrisonn's date was his English bulldog, Hazel, and Mr. Simms attended with Buddy, a mixed-breed dog belonging to Dan Cohen. Mr. Cohen started Athletes for Animals, a local nonprofit that organizes programs to teach kids how to treat animals with kindness and respect.
"Does Hazel snore?" asked one curious youngster. "Yes, which is why she does not sleep in my bedroom," replied an amused Mr. Morrisonn.
As for Mr. Simms, he explained to the youngsters that caring for a pet is a big responsibility, especially for an athlete who travels as extensively as he does, which is why he hasn't owned one. Now that his schedule is winding down for the season, however, he is in the process of adopting a pup.
Mr. Simms and Mr. Morrisonn are helping Athletes for Animals garner support for the Good Pet Parent Pledge online at www.athletesforanimals.com.
Girl power
Members of the Congressional Caucus for Women's Issues gathered this week for a luncheon sponsored by the YWCA and Women's Policy Inc. to discuss economic abuse and its role in domestic violence.
"Economic abuse" refers to a victim being prevented from obtaining an education or gaining access to money or employment, usually by their lover, spouse or parent.
Rep. Loretta Sanchez, California Democrat, recounted to the packed Cannon Caucus Room her experience with this lesser-known problem, which, like many types of abuse, disproportionately affects women.
When Miss Sanchez was 18, she said, her mother decided she wanted to go back to school, much to the dismay of Miss Sanchez's father. To take night classes, her mother had to prepare dinner and have it waiting for her father before she could leave.
"That is economic abuse," Miss Sanchez said, "and it affects people across the economic continuum."
Music to our ears
Steinway and Sons, legendary makers of handcrafted pianos for more than 150 years, will open its first Washington-area dealership in Tysons Corner Center in McLean. The store's grand opening is Friday.
Perhaps it was inevitable. As more and more musicians and artists sing the District's praises, it only makes sense they'll need a Steinway store nearby for their visits to town.
According to Steinway and Sons, nearly all of the world's concert pianists choose to play Steinway exclusively, without compensation, including Emanuel Ax, Evgeny Kissin, Lang Lang, Billy Joel, Diana Krall and Harry Connick Jr.
Incidentally, Steinway is the piano of choice for the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Washington National Cathedral, and, yes, even the Supreme Court building and the White House.

I give this to my son at the first sign of a sore throat or cold, and the next day he is fine (we do eat all organic/natural foods, so not sure if that has any effect on how quickly it works). It is very soothing for the throat, especially if you suffer from a dry/sore throat due to working on the phone. My son enjoys the taste with honey or agave nectar.

From Dr Desmond Lachman.
Sir, Gene Frieda is certainly correct in warning that Europe's move towards a weak banking confederation, rather than towards a true banking union, heightens the risk that deflation will take hold in Europe (Insight, December 9). However, he seems to downplay the more immediate deflation risk posed by the leisurely pace at which Europe is moving towards any form of banking union and by the sequencing of the policy steps towards that goal.
In the context of indications that countries such as Greece, Ireland and Spain are already experiencing wage and price deflation, it has to be regretted that the European Central Bank will only complete its asset quality review exercise and begin supervising European banks by the end of 2014. Since that is just the first step towards banking union, it would imply that the earliest time that Europe might move towards any form of banking union would be by 2015. In the meantime, one must anticipate that the very large gaps expected to persist in Europe's labour and product markets will continue to exert substantial downward pressure on European wages and prices, as they have done over the past year. And they will do so at a time when the overall European inflation rate is already disturbingly low.
Of equal concern is the fact that the ECB's asset quality review exercise is being conducted ahead of the recapitalisation of Europe's undercapitalised banking system. This poses the risk that Europe's banks will continue to deleverage and to cut back on lending to households and companies as a precaution against being found short of capital by the ECB. At a time when European bank credit is already contracting at a 2 per cent annual rate, the fastest pace of contraction in the euro's 15-year history, this would seem to be a risk that a struggling European economy can ill afford.

TORONTO| Canadian and American filmmakers lashed back Friday at what they described as an " outrageous" boycott of the Toronto International Film Festival by some filmmakers and writers in protest of the event's spotlight on filmmakers from Tel Aviv.
Producer, writer and director David Zucker ("Scary Movie," "Naked Gun," "Airplane!" ) denounced as "left-wing crazies" the individuals who signed a letter called " The Toronto Declaration" to protest Israeli government policies.
Mr. Zucker said he is "outraged" that actors such as Danny Glover and Jane Fonda, along with about 50 other activists, would sign a declaration that condemns Israel as an "apartheid regime" and dismisses the work of Tel Aviv filmmakers as "Israeli propaganda."
The protest of Israel began Aug. 27 when Canadian filmmaker John Greyson released a public letter stating he would withdraw his film from the 10-day festival, which opens Thursday, to protest Israel's "brutal" military assault on Gaza earlier this year.
On Thursday Sept. 3, writer Naomi Klein and others joined Mr. Greyson's protest and issued " The Toronto Declaration: No Celebration of Occupation."
Mr. Greyson's film, "Covered," is a documentary about violence in Bosnia-Herzegovina that shut down the 2008 Sarajevo Queer Festival.
Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici complained that Mr. Greyson is now trying to shut down the voices of filmmakers in the only country in the Middle East that allows free expression.
If Mr. Greyson "were to walk down the streets of Tel Aviv with a sign saying he is a homosexual filmmaker, he would be invited to the Tel Aviv Queer Film Festival. But if he did that in Ramallah or any Palestinian village in the Territories, his films would have to be shown posthumously because they would kill him," said Mr. Jacobovici.
In fact, Mr. Greyson was invited to the Tel Aviv Queer Festival and withdrew another of his films from that event.
Gays in Palestine "flee to Tel Aviv to protect themselves from their brothers who would lynch them," Mr. Jacobovici added.
"As filmmaker Ken Loach eloquently wrote this week in The Guardian, the boycott movement against Israel isn't censorship," countered Mr. Greyson via e-mail.
"It's a legitimate call from Palestinian civil society, asking for non-violent pressure to be brought to bear on Israel to end its human rights abuses. That's what we're doing. Our action doesn't 'censor' it shines a spotlight on the Israeli occupation."
Festival co-director Cameron Bailey said in a statement on the TIFF Web site that Mr. Greyson's protest "isn't against the films or filmmakers we have chosen, but against the spotlight itself.
By that reasoning, no films programmed within this series would have met his approval, no matter what they contained."
Indeed, some of the films in the Tel Aviv " City to City" series are expressly critical of Israeli government policies, noted Mr. Jacobovici, a dual Canadian-Israeli citizen.
"We're not protesting the Israeli films or the filmmakers our target is TIFF's Spotlight on Tel Aviv itself, and specifically its connections to the 'Brand Israel' campaign and the Israeli Consulate, which make the spotlight look and feel like a propaganda exercise," said Mr. Greyson. "
As filmmakers and audiences, we're telling TIFF that eight months since the Gaza massacre, this is no time to be uncritically 'celebrating' Tel Aviv."
Despite his defense of the City to City program which was launched this year to feature the work of a different city's filmmakers each year Mr. Bailey may have unintentionally fanned the controversy when he referred to Tel Aviv as " contested ground" in his statement.
While Jerusalem's status as Israel's capital is considered controversial, Tel Aviv's status as an Israeli city is not.
Earlier this year, the Edinburgh International Film Festival was the target of a boycott effort by British filmmaker Ken Loach, another signatory to the Toronto Declaration, after Mr. Loach demanded the festival return money the Israeli government paid for filmmaker Tali Shalom-Ezer's travel expenses.
The festival did return the money but kept Ms. Ezer's film, "Surrogate," in the program.
"It seems that nothing the Jews do is right and nothing the enemies of the Jews do is wrong," said Mr. Jacobovici.
The idea of an Israeli apartheid is also "a lie," said Mr. Jacobovici, noting that 1 million Palestinians live in Israel (about 20 percent of Israel's population), "while not one Jew lives in the Territories or is even buried there because they have disinterred those bodies."

Respond to Review of Yi Pel Suay
by Chia
Review: Had been here twice on 2 separate trips to central Taiwan. Food was better the firs time, and not so good the second time. On our first visit, two women assisted us. The second time around, only one woman (the owner) was here. She took our order, made the food, and served us all by herself. Took a while to get our food. I remember that I had gotten a set meal which came with a cold drink, main dish of sizzling rice plate (has a piece of faux meat covered in a salty peppery brown sauce), and a cream corn soup which contain dairy powder so I didn't drink it. My husband had the hot pot, and he thought it was okay. Not sure how it's able to survive and stay in biz.

Ok, just to make this clear, I'm talking franchise-wise, not story wise. I haven't had a chance to play U3's single player yet, as pretty much all of us have not.
Historically, Naughty Dog gives each IP a trilogy, a kart racing game and hands it off to a third party. They also keep each IP to one console generation (ie, no Uncharted on PS4). Now, I somehow doubt - but can see how - they would stick to this formula.
For one, polls (ie, the one IGN conducted) clearly show that people want more Uncharted, especially for the PS4. Now, Naughty Dog could just hand it off to third parties, but that won't always maintain the same quality as the core series (ie, Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier). If SCE does wish to continue the franchise, they'd probably keep Naughty Dog in charge or train another third party to take over (Uncharted by Sucker Punch?). That said, we are seeing a third party Uncharted right now, with Golden Abyss hitting the Vita, but I'm talking consoles here.
As for the kart racing thing... dear god, please just keep it to an Uncharted-themed Twisted Metal expansion. ND doesn't need to shoot themselves in the foot here. I think most of us wouldn't exactly want ND to spend time working on a project that has players racing around a track and shooting sap to slow each other down...
That said, the next console generation is probably going to start in late 2013 or early 2014, and if history is anything to go by, it doesn't look like an Uncharted 4 is coming our way this generation. The previous two games took about 2 years to develop, and this one is another 2 years from U2, so a U4 would arrive ~2013ish, where it could be a generation send-off, but I highly doubt Sony would have Naughty Dog continue to develop for the PS3, as historically, they're one of the first studios to get a hold of the next generation's technology.
In other words, expect Naughty Dog to move on to a new IP and a new generation. It'll be sad to see this franchise go - at least from their hands - but I think U3 is really it. Let's just hope they have an epic enough of a finale in store for it.

UPDATE: I still love this foundation BUT I've realized that 020 Light beige is not the right color for me. I've gotten much paler since the summer and 020 is actually too dark now. It's barely light enough for me when I first put it on but IT DOES oxidize. By mid day, it's way too dark for me. I think I'm more of a NC/W 15 now and 010 would probably be a much better match.
I have to say I LOVE this foundation. I love it simply because I've had such a hard time finding a perfect match for my skin for all these years and now I've finally found it! I know a lot of girls find the range quite limiting but the fact that most of these shades are for neutral undertone is perfect for me. I've always had such a hard time because everything is either too yellow or too pink on my skin. I wish more brands would make shades for skin with neutral undertone. (cough cough MAC)
I have light-medium skin with neutral undertone (slightly cool leaning). NC20 is way too yellow and dark on me and NW20 is too pink. NW 15 is just a little bit too light for me and again, too pink. I wear #20 light beige in Diorskin forever and it's perfect. I've never found a match this good. I hope this helps for girls out there who have similar problems finding a good foundation because everything is either too yellow or too pink.
Age: 19-24

Overall - I absolutely LOVE this foundation. This foundation has medium coverage that can be built without looking cakey. My dry spots are not accentuated at all and my pores are not accentuated which is a problem that I have with other foundations even when using a primer. Foundations just don't "sit right" on my skin but this one truly does. This foundation does not transfer and it is very long lasting - I work 12 hr shifts and it holds up even during my craziest days at work.
Although there are only 12 shades, the color matching system is pretty helpful in finding the right shade. Each shade is categorized with pink, yellow, peach, or neutral undertones. I have shade 030 which is for medium beige/medium light complexions with neutral undertones and it matches my skintone perfectly.
This foundation has SPF 25 but NO white face flashback in flash photography. It looks beautiful in pictures.
There is a slight perfume scent to the foundation - reminds me of Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua, a scent that I absolutely LOVE. I am one to get headaches if things are overly scented and this does not bother me at all.
Price - It's expensive. $47 US at Sephora.
Packaging - Comes in the standard frosted gloss bottle that Dior foundations come in. While heavy, it does look beautiful sitting on my dresser and I love beauty items that look luxurious! There is a pump on this foundation that dispenses just enough product.

This is gorgeous, though it does oxidize a little and it's a little more drying than I'd like it to be. But, it is light, covers amazingly well. It might be perfect for the summer when my cheeks are less dry. *I should note that it is much less drying than any other long wear foundation I've ever tried.
edit: I don't know what it is, but my skin looks better with this foundation than with any other I've found so far. I don't know if it's the shade and texture together that just works for my skin..or what it is. The more I use it, the more I think it's the closest thing to my HG I've ever found.

Dior Forever - Flawless Perfection Fusion Wear Makeup
IMO this foundation lives up to its name to the fullest. It gives me a flawless look. It does fuse into my skin as if it's part of my skin, not sitting on top of it. Because it does melts into the skin, I don't recommend applying this on the back of your hand, because the skin on your hand will soak up about 20-30% of it up before it has the chance to go on your face. It's a $46+tax foundation, I want to use it all up on my face. I've been using MUFE mat velvet+ & MUFE face and body for a while now and I thought those two were the long wearing foundations until I bought Dior Forever. I find that it stays on all day even without a setting powder (I have oily, combo skin, VERY oily at T-zone). I would recommend a thin thin layer of non-SPF lotion, and a water-based (not silicone) primer before putting on this foundation. I think silicone would just make the foundation slide off.
I am an NC40 and I wear shade 031 (yellow undertone). At first, I bought 040, but it was wayyy to red for my skin. 031 would is perfect for my skin now because it's winter, but I might buy 040 and mix it with 031 if I get darker during the summer. Although, my skin is more on the 031 side than 040. For those who are concerned about which shade to get, i would recommend visiting www.temptalia.com and click on foundation match. My friend who is an NC35 and my aunt is about an NC30 also matches shade 031. So that tells you that this foundation blends beautifully into the skin of many shades.
This is my favorite foundation to wear in the day time or night time. But more so in the day time because I would be able to utilize the SPF. I don't see a white cast on my face when I take pictures on my face like some has mentioned. But since my MUFE foundations don't have SPF, I prefer to use those up at night.
I took off one lippie because I don't like foundations that have pumps and require to "Shake well". If you think about it...it's pointless to shake well if it only takes 1 pump to cover my entire face. So, i'm basically only using the foundation that was in the tube of the pump, not the foundation in the bottle that I had just shook up. So doesn't it make sense that I'm using separated foundation in the tube everytime? I prefer squeezed tube foundation, if they require to be "shaken well". Otherwise, I think it's pointless to even shake.
I added the lippie back because I think the flawless look, and how it melts into my skin makes up for the flawed packaging. (i'm weird....i know).
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
This is a very good medium coverage foundation, it stays looking freshly applied for a long time (even on my oily skin) and does not accentuate oily skin. I think the name of fusion wear is a very good description, as this really does meld with my skin and looks extremely natural while still providing coverage to my acne scars. Frankly this is probably the most natural looking, long wear foundation I've tried so far. The consistency is sort of like a liquid-y serum and is easy to blend in for an ultra natural look.
Two issues I've run into with this foundation are what is keeping me from giving this a '5' is that it is not transfer resistant and that this foundation settles or creases into fine lines somewhat. Although not all of the foundation comes off with blotting, if I blot I do end up with a beige tissue which is something I do not like. I'm not sure how this would wear on someone with mature skin and more prominent lines as my skin isn't mature yet, but I've noticed that after a few hours if I look closely under my eyes (I do apply this to the under eye area) I can see this foundation creasing a bit into the fine lines I have under my eyes. If I take my finger and gently smooth the area out it removes the creases, but I would prefer for this not to happen at all the rest of my face however looks fantastic.
One thing I have noticed is that for my oily skin this foundation wears much better on bare skin rather than on skin that has been moisturized. And since this foundation has SPF 25 (a major pro!) I feel more comfortable wearing this alone without an SPF moisturizer underneath. I think it must be said about this foundation line that the color selection is not the best. I actually feel pretty lucky that I managed to fit into Dior's limited color selection. I'm an NC20 and I wear Linen 021, which is for "light complexions with a yellow undertone", and is a good match for me, but if you're paler than that there is only one color option lighter than that: Ivory 010 (Light Beige 020 is the same color intensity as Linen but is for "light complexions with neutral undertones").
Bottom line: This one if worth looking into for those looking for both a natural finish that lasts a long time.

EDIT: Sept. 2012
I think I've found a way to perfect the application of this foundation which is now my favourite makeup base (apart from Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua which is foolproof with fingers) - just use a moist sponge! So simple, so flawless, better than any fancy brush or fingers - gives an absolutely impeccable finish, and all this without looking like you are wearing a heavy foundation. The layer on the skin is thin and unpercievable. This is the way to do it, I am adding a couple of more lippies!
After many years without wearing foundation I have changed my makeup routine and when a new generation of foundations came out this year I have purchased first a Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua and then Dior one (beautiful ad with Natalie Portman really worked its purpose well).
Chanel in its minuscule plastic packaging I have decided to keep for my numerous travels while Dior (mainly beacuse of its posh, heavy glass bottle) stays on my vanity table at home.
After a sample obtained in the magazine ( it is very difficult to obtain foundation samples in Scotland - it really makes me annoyed how precious SA are about these here!) I decided to go for 020 (I am pretty pale all year around with some yellow/olive undertones, I am B20 in Chanel) and it is a pretty good match for my skintone.
I use one pump and spread it with my fingers. It spreads easily but sets really quickly so you have to work fast to get a finish without smudges. It evens out my facetone nicely but does not improve a look of the structure of my skin - any dry patch is going to be accentuated. It gives my dry skin a pretty matte look which I have to counteract with Clarins Fix Make-up otherwise my pores look like craters and wrinkles appear that I have no idea of!
However, it quickly disappeares off my nose and chin so it is not so long lasting as Dior describes it. It goes quite oily on my t-zone which is otherwise normal so I have to blot with Shiseido's blotting papers after approx. 4 hours.
So it is definitely not a miracle foundation and I am on the fence with this product - I rather use it because I have paid so much for it that I cannot bear it standing unused on my vanity table. Chanel will be definitely purchased again but not this one.
^ EDIT: I might buy a Nude version instead. Also mixed with Chanel VItalumiere (not Aqua one) get a slightly more dewy look in winter and matches my colouring better.

READ: I'm NW15-20 and have to wear the very lightest shade, 010 Ivory, in pretty much all of Dior's foundations. If you are NC/NW10 or so, definitely get swatched at Sephora or a Dior counter before you purchase; Dior's colors tend to be a little too dark compared to many other brands on the market, and you may not be able to find the right shade. I'm usually the second lightest foundation shade in most brands, but Ivory was a perfect match for my fair skin.
As for the foundation itself?
I love it. I absolutely love it. More and more, I feel as if my HG items keep falling into my lap! I had been wearing Diorskin Nude in 022 Cameo for about a month, when I decided that right now I am WAY too pale for such a shade. Diorskin Nude has a very dewy look to it, and the coverage is light, but I liked the darker tone and the glowiness; I thought it worked pretty well with my dry, rosacea-prone skin. However, I did decide that I couldn't wear Cameo any longer, and took the bottle of Nude with me to Sephora for an exchange. This was about a week and a half before Christmas, and things at the mall were growing chaotic.
The scene at Sephora was no exception. Everything was was in disarray, and the Ivory shade of Diorskin Nude I needed was gone. People were everywhere, and I had to wait twenty minutes for I could get some poor, overworked SA to help me. She looked and looked and then found a second SA, who told me that they wouldn't get a new shipment of Ivory in the DiorSkin Nude until right before Christmas. One of the girls suggested that I try Diorskin Forever instead. "It's the exact same color system," she said, "And you may like the formula. It can at least tide you over for now, and then after Christmas you're welcome to come back and swap it out for a bottle of the Nude." (Say what you want about Sephora, but their return policy is awesome!)
Before I left Sephora with my new bottle of Forever, I took the sample bottle of Nude and swatched it along side a bit of Forever. Both shades, in Ivory, looked 100% alike, and I wish so much I'd taken a picture just to prove my point. Then I blended either formula on the back of my hands, just to see if they felt the same. After that I went to lunch with a friend. Halfway through our meal, I noticed that the hand with Diorskin Nude felt slightly tighter, or maybe dryer, than the hand with Diorskin Forever on it. It wasn't a huge difference, but it felt worth noting.
Since that time, I've decided that Diorskin Forever is my REAL HG foundation; it's more perfect than I could have asked for. I think Nude is still a fabulous foundation and many girls would be happy with it. However, I'm sticking with Forever because:
1. The SPF coverage is higher; Forever is 25 and Nude is only 10.
2. The finished look is more natural than the Nude, which makes Forever much more versatile. I can always add glowiness or dewiness to the Forever with other products, but I can't as easily take away that effect from the Nude.
3. The coverage is a little more intense and buildable than Nude. Nude can be built to medium coverage, but on my skin, one layer of Forever is pretty much all I need, unless my skin is really misbehaving.
I took off one point for packaging; the only part of Diorskin Nude I really miss is the gorgeous, heavy silver lid! But the navy blue lid on the Forever is pretty, and at least it doesn't show fingerprints as easily!
All in all, I'm very happy that I was "stuck" with Diorskin Forever. A month after purchasing, I'm absolutely thrilled with what happened. I also feel that the Diorskin Forever compact is a perfect compliment for touch-ups, and it didn't mesh QUITE as well with the Nude.
In my experience, the best way to apply Diorskin Forever is with the Sephora Airbrush #56. I get it slightly damp, and pump a very tiny amount of Forever onto my finger. I dab dots of the foundation all over my cheeks to start, and then I put my brush to work. First I stipple the foundation around, then in quick circles, I buff the formula out. I do the same thing to the rest of my face, and probably use only 1.5 to 2.5 pumps of Forever maximum. It's very quickly applied, and I think that combination of a high quality formula with the very soft, fluffy, and versatile Sephora brush helps speed things up greatly.

I just recently got this foundation because my skin tone and texture is changing during the winter. I have dry but acne prone sensitive skin ... So I tend to break out more since winter in Canada is so cold and dry.this foundation jsnt too thick its more runny and that is why it is so easy to apply! for application I just use my fingers because the foundation just glides on. This foundation doesn't highlight my dry flakey parts which is an extra plus for me! I have bought many different foundation that tends to highlight my flakes , so I'm glad I found this . So far the Dior foundation hasn't broken me out yet and I am quite sensitive to chemicals .as for coverage this is light - medium. Definitely buildable. It covers my blemishes and redness . Not completely, but it does a good job .I'll come back for an updated if anything changes. As for the price , I think its pricey but if you compare it to MUFE,tarte or any high end foundations this isn't that expensive .. Maybe even cheaper . Lastly the lasting power is amazing ! Stayed on for the whole day . Just remember to wash off all your makeup before you go to sleep

I hate this foundation in my skin. I have dry skin and it makes all lines and imperfections of my face show more, I have no idea why. It's crazy because I also think it looks beautiful.... and it has the most amazing smell you will ever find in a foundation. I have the older version of this so I might try the new one that has been released late 2011 and see if it is more moisturizing and if it gets in my fine lines as the older sister!

Purchased 010, the lightest color, which unfortunately is simply too yellow for me, leaves a very obvious demarcation line at my jaw no matter how well blended. Wanted a warmer foundation with the hope of counteracting too much pink my complexion is pulling. Beyond that, this is a lovely product in terms of consistency, finish, scent, wear, coverage... Epic fail in terms of color. Very disturbed that it is nearly impossible to locate a HE foundation for my fair neutral/cool complexion. One lippie removed for poor color selection but would definitely purchase if my color was manufactured.
UPDATE: Wore this sheer and blended really really well. Thought I looked lovely and in my 10X mirror I did. Then went to lunch with my brother who afterwards very discreetly informed me that my face looked full of fine lines and incoming wrinkles. Now I know what it must feel like when one needs Xanax. Upon closer exploration dear brother was right! And he has vision in only one eye!. Reviewed my application and surmised that the toner I've been using was drying the surface of my skin and this foundation is not compatible with Smashbox primer. Have decided to keep this but cut it with a lighter toned foundations and custom blend for summer. For me this foundation is like having a really attractive boyfriend who treats you shabbily but you just can't give him up. Eventually both will run out.

Taiwan Mulls Letting Chinese Investors Take Stakes in LCD Makers
Taiwan is considering ending a ban on investors from mainland China buying stakes in the island's flat-panel makers, as part of efforts to increase cross-strait investments.
The Industrial Development Bureau is studying the feasibility of Chinese investors and how much they may be allowed to buy, Woody Duh, director-general of the Taipei-based agency, said by phone today. Duh declined to give possible stake sizes.
Ending the ban would allow liquid-crystal-display makers such as AU Optronics Corp. and Chimei Innolux Corp. to attract Chinese investors as they expand in the mainland. AU Optronics on Dec. 17 won approval from Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs to build a $3 billion LCD plant in the eastern Chinese city of Kunshan.
"Having Chinese investors will help Taiwanese panel firms secure orders from their partners and be more competitive against South Korean rivals such as Samsung Electronics Co. and LG Display Co.," Charles Hsu, an analyst at Taipei-based Fubon Securities Co., said by phone.
Attracting investors will also help local LCD makers fund capacity expansion and equipment upgrade, Hsu said. AU Optronics and Chimei Innolux may spend more than NT$150 billion ($5.1 billion) on capital expenditure this year, he said.
The Commercial Times on Feb. 14 reported the economic ministry proposed to Taiwan's Cabinet that Chinese investors be allowed to buy as much 20 percent of local LCD companies, citing people it didn't identify. Any strategic alliances with Chinese home-appliance companies such as TCL Corp., Haier Group Corp. or Sichuan Changhong Electric Co. will help local panel producers expand on the mainland, the Taipei-based newspaper said.
Economic Focus
Tensions between Taiwan and China eased after Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou abandoned his predecessor's pro-independence stance and focused on economic issues. The LCD industry wasn't included in the 100 sectors and services opened to Chinese investors in June 2009.
Taiwan's Cabinet is reviewing a proposal from the Ministry of Economic Affairs to further ease restrictions on investments from mainland China, the Government Information Office said in an e-mailed statement on Feb. 14.
China, Taiwan's largest export market, regards the independently governed island as part of its territory, threatening to attack if it declares formal independence. The two sides split more than 60 years ago after Mao Zedong's communists took control of China, forcing the ruling Kuomintang to retreat to Taiwan.

Today's post features what is probably my favorite piece of work I've ever done. It features the Parkinson Building in Leeds which houses one of the University's libraries. I've always received great compliments about about it and have even sold and given away a few. It was at a time where I was really experimenting with implementing more traditional media, such as paint, into my work and this style has stayed with me ever since. When I'm not feeling particularly creative, looking at this picture gives me a great sense of confidence.
It is created using a digital line drawing from a photo on a graphics tablet within Illustrator. The first layer of color is created digitally in Photoshop. I then painted hundreds of samples of paint, scanned them in, and placed them to each individual brick with some opacity over the first layer of color. Then I took away the lines I had drawn in the beginning, which completely changed the overall effect.
It is exactly the same style I will be using for the exhibition I am currently working on. The only difference being that this time, the drawings will be created by hand, not on a graphics tablet. I'm exited to see the effects. Below is another illustration based around buildings in Leeds.

The 99ers need a Tier V added to Unemployment Benefits
Senators and Representatives:
You should be ashamed of yourself, and here's why:
You have decided to ignore the people you reduced to poverty. The longest unemployed workers did not create this depression, you did. You did this with your failure to regulate the banks, health industry, and corporations. People who were fully employed, paying taxes, and raising families are now paying the price for your negligence. They trusted you to keep something like this from happening. You failed them.
Now you are deliberately failing them again. This may be a recession for you, but it's a depression for them. You knew this depression would last longer than until March, yet you have no plans to add additional unemployment tiers to keep these people from becoming increasingly destitute. Tens of thousands began to lose all financial support on March 14,2010. You know with full clarity that these benefits are the only money keeping food on their tables. You know that their benefits run out in March, and that these American families will be on the path to shelters and soup kitchens.
...and this is not of their making. They're not to blame. You are.
...and you're about to discount them again by allowing their benefits to end with Tier IV.
By the way, don't pride yourself on extending the current benefits for the more recently unemployed, as included in the Job Bill. Of course you should have done this, but as you know, the bill as it was written does not help any of those who have been the longest and hardest hit by this depression. The Job Bill only half addresses the unemployed, and 50% is an F.
Please make sure that the only choice for Americans who want to work is either a job or unemployment benefits. Don't end benefits until there are jobs for them. As of now, there is only 1 job for every 6 unemployed workers. Take care of these victims.

Millennials are more likely than previous generations to handle financial transactions electronically, and banks need to adjust to profit from that trend.
Janet Yellen says banking regulators have made progress in correcting flaws in the financial system that triggered the worst banking crisis in decades.
The Dow and S&P 500 ended higher Tuesday, helped by energy stocks and earnings reports that topped modest expectations on worries about a strong dollar.
JPMorgan Chase reports an 11 percent rise in first-quarter profit, helped by strong results in the bank's currency, commodities and fixed income business.
The public standing of Chase, Bank of America, Citibank and Wells Fargo hit all-time lows a few years ago, but it looks like customers can't stay away.

Getting help can be expensive if your Internet connection unex pectedly fails, or if you can't ac cess the computers on your local net work. Various command line tools can help you troubleshoot your network. ping and traceroute check the availability of other computers; you can contact nameservers with host and dig, and netstat helps you discover what is hap pening on your system. Who Am I? The ifconfig tool lets you check your own computer's network interface. This practical utility not only outputs infor mation for your current configuration, but also helps you set up the interface. To display the current settings, just run /sbin/ifconfig without any parameters. As the program resides in /sbin, which is not typically in the user's $PATH, you will need to specify the full path.

Nice but funny fabric
I have 4 Wildfox 'Baggy Beach Jumpers' as they're called and I have to say that the fabric of this one is by far the roughest of them all. I suspect that's because in manufacturing the neon yellow colour, they've had to dye it rather more than they might have for say white or black, or another more natural colour...this sounds strange seeing as it is the same fabric combination - 47%/47%/6% but I can definitely feel the difference when I wear it. Other than that, the vampire print is obviously a signature Wildfox design and the colour is great for summer.

Wonderful Willdfox
Love this sweatshirt! My first piece from Wildfox and it does not disappoint. I'm a UK 14/US 10(?) and it was nice and baggy but super flattering as well. Amazing vivid turquoise and the material is so soft! Great summer cover-up, recommend to all.

AMAZING Boots!!!
These boots and this site are the best things since sliced bread. NZ retailers stock these shoes but charge between $100 and $150 more for them. Shopbop provided great, easy service and super fast delivery. The boots were stunning - exactly like in the picture and they are so versatile. Well worth the money spent - can highly recommend to everyone!

Follow the Sun is an American drama series which ran for thirty episodes on the ABC television network from September 17, 1961, through April 8, 1962.
Follow the Sun stars Brett Halsey and Barry Coe in the roles of Honolulu-based free-lance magazine writers Paul Templin and Ben Gregory, respectively. Gary Lockwood plays their 20-year-old researcher Eric Jason, who was, according to the story line, born on December 7, 1941 (Pearl Harbor Day). In reality, Lockwood was born on February 21, 1937, and was hence nearly five years older than the character he played. Gigi Perreau played Katherine Ann "Kathy" Richards, the pretty secretary, and Jay Lanin was Lieutenant Frank Roper, the writers' friend on the police force.
Lockwood's success on Follow the Sun propelled him thereafter to the role of William T. "Bill" Rice in The Lieutenant, a program about the peacetime United States Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton, which aired on NBC during the 1963-1964 season.[1]
Follow the Sun is somewhat similar in theme and tone to Rod Taylor's Hong Kong (1960-1961) and Robert Conrad's Hawaiian Eye (1959-1963). Taylor's role as Glenn Evans, a foreign correspondent, could have fit in with the writers on Follow the Sun who also got involved in detective work—just like the Hawaiian Eye cast.[2]
Follow the Sun faced stiff competition at 7:30 Eastern time on Sunday evenings from CBS's Dennis the Menace with Jay North and the first half of The Ed Sullivan Show, as well as NBC's Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color.[3] Though the program ran for only one shortened season, there were comic books which featured Halsey, Coe, and Lockwood.
Guest stars[edit]
Popular female stars made appearances on Follow the Sun: Rhonda Fleming, Julie London, Joanna Moore, Tuesday Weld, Joanna Barnes, Stella Stevens, Yvonne DeCarlo, Anne Helm, Yvonne Craig, Dyan Cannon, Pippa Scott, and Diane Baker.
Male guest stars included Keith Andes, William Bendix, Alan Hale, Jr., Brian Keith, Dennis O'Keefe, Robert Vaughn (who later appeared with Gary Lockwood in The Lieutenant), William Windom, and Keenan Wynn, .[2]
Brian Keith and Jayne Mansfield starred in the episode "The Dumbest Blonde" that reworked the Born Yesterday plot, with Barry Coe as reporter Ben Gregory serving as a stand-in for the William Holden character. Mansfield played the beautiful "Scottie" with low self-esteem and is uncomfortable in high society. Scottie's wealthy boyfriend, played by Keith, mostly ignores her needs. In the story line, Ben Gregory introduces Scottie to books and some of his friends so that she gradually moves forward on her own.[4]
Academy Award-winning actor James Dunn appeared in an episode entitled "Run, Clown, Run." In the episode he sang On the Good Ship Lollipop, a song made famous by Shirley Temple in Bright Eyes, which co-starred Dunn.
In one episode, "A Choice Of Weapons" featured David Janssen as a retired 30-something prize fighter who enters the University of Hawaii as a freshman. Another episode, "The Woman Who Never Was", had Bethel Leslie as a beautiful, devious woman. Inger Stevens portrayed a refugee from the former East Germany in "The Girl from the Brandenberg Gate" episode.[2]
Production notes[edit]
Roy Huggins, the head of production at 20th Century Fox, created Follow the Sun as well as Maverick, 77 Sunset Strip, and Bus Stop on ABC and The Rockford Files on NBC. Anthony Lawrence, the producer of Follow the Sun went on to write the Elvis Presley film Paradise, Hawaiian Style. Huggins' Banacek, starring George Peppard, came a decade later on NBC.

We had Grilled Chicken Tzaziki with Pita for dinner.
It was delicious. Dh wondered why I'd not made it before and scored it an A+.
I would give it a B+, as it was quite a bit of work, since the pitas were homemade gf and the salad portion took quite a while. The pitas ended up being more like Na'an than pocket bread, although they were delicious.
Two other notes: next time, I will add a lot more hot sauce to the marinade. I had already added a bit more but it needs more kick.
Secondly, it needs a separate tzaziki sauce to go over the top of it.
However, the Girlios devoured it, asking for more chicken.
This is the picture from the recipe's website. I didn't wrap ours in grease paper. We didn't need the extra fiber.
Now we are moving onto the Guinness Cake part of Sunday's festivities.
The batter was delicious so I am hopeful about the cake. It's sort of a spicy cake with some fruit in it, served with whipped cream. It's been more than 10 years since I've had any but I remember it fondly.
ETA: It was exactly as I recalled. It ends up being like a dense gingerbread, with dark end notes from the Guinness. I love it!
I will freeze the rest of it for holidays, as the Girlios thought it was good, but not an everyday thing.
Dh had a piece, and said it was exactly as he remembered it from Ireland, and could he please have some ice cream instead. :-D
Silly boy.

Medical Protection
Lifetime protection against all difficulties
Cancer Guardian Mega / Cancer Guardian Plus / Cancer Guardian provides you with comprehensive support during treatment and rehabilitation
Many people work hard every day and maintain a healthy lifestyle to provide stable and comfortable lives for their family and to deliver the commitment of love to them. But even with a healthy lifestyle, it does not mean that you will not contract cancer. Nowadays, one in four men and one in five women in Hong Kong are at serious risk of contracting cancer before turning 75^. Over the last decade, close to 40% of sufferers were in aged 60 and below*, indicating that more people are contracting the illness at a younger age.
AIA understands your worries and needs, which is why we bring you the Cancer Guardian series, providing you with not only comprehensive lifetime protection from the difficulties caused by cancer but also additional benefits covering care during convalescence. In addition to all-inclusive lifetime cancer protection through reimbursement of essential costs for a reasonable premium, it compensates you for both diagnosis and treatment expenses and even the consultation cost of any complications due to Covered Cancers. By securing financial support as you recover, Cancer Guardian series is your strongest weapon in the battle to rehabilitate after suffering cancer.

In addition to providing a full range of protection for the treatment of cancer, Cancer Guardian series puts you at ease and safeguards your health by offering you guaranteed insurability and lifetime renewal1. With the following three plans to choose from, Cancer Guardian series can fully satisfy your needs and budget:

Comprehensive cancer treatment protection and care
Cancer Guardian series provides protection for Covered Cancer treatment by compensating you for all actual expenses related to diagnostic examination, cancer treatment, reconstructive surgery, and prevention of recurrence. Standing by your side against all odds, AIA gives you further peace of mind by alleviating the financial burden on your family.
Diagnostic Benefit
In the unfortunate event of you being diagnosed with one of the Covered Cancers, Cancer Guardian series will fully compensate you for expenses related to medically necessary diagnostic examinations for directly ascertaining that you are suffering from a Covered Cancer.
Cancer Treatment Benefits
We will reimburse the inpatient or outpatient expenses incurred for consultation or treatment due to a Covered Cancer or any related complication, including:
• Hospitalisation and Treatment Benefits2:

- Medications required for the active or palliative treatment of cancer, including anti-nausea drugs, anti-rejection drugs, anti-vertigo drugs, and anti-anodynes.
Reconstructive Surgery Benefit
Cancer Guardian series also covers reconstructive surgery to give you more comprehensive protection. If you require reconstructive surgery on the head or breast as a result of treatment for a Covered Cancer, we will reimburse the cost of essential surgical procedures including the cost of the surgeon and anaesthetist, etc.
Monitoring Benefit
As preventing cancer from recurring is a vital part of the recovery process, AIA will reimburse the cost of cancer monitoring and consultation for up to 5 years after the completion of active treatment. This gives you peace of mind by giving you a much clearer picture of the progress of your rehabilitation.
Target Protection Benefit3
If you are unfortunately diagnosed with the following Cancers after purchasing Cancer Guardian Mega or Cancer Guardian Plus of Cancer Guardian series, the individual Per Covered Cancer Limit will be increased by 50%4 (including Diagnostic Benefit, Cancer Treatment Benefits, Reconstructive Surgery Benefit and Monitoring Benefit):
(I) Any Covered Cancer classified as Stage IV;
(II) Liver Cancer;
(III) Brain Cancer;
(IV) Blood Cancer; or

Compassionate Death Benefit6
In the unfortunate event of death while covered by this plan, we will provide your nominated Beneficiary with a Compassionate Death Benefit, regardless of the cause of death.
Rider version is available to suit your needs
Not only can Cancer Guardian series be taken up as a standalone insurance policy, it can also be taken up as a rider of specified basic plans making your arrangements flexible.
1 This cover may be renewed annually during the lifetime of the Insured provided this plan continues to be available. The renewal premium will be based on the attained age of the Insured and the applicable premium table upon renewal. Such premium table is not guaranteed and is subject to change. The Company reserves the right to revise it from time to time. The Company also reserves the right to revise the benefit structure and / or any other product features as determined by us, on any Policy Anniversary Date or renewal by giving a 30-day prior written notice. We reserve the right to determine the terms and conditions for renewal.
2 The benefits payable for Confinement is based on the charge level of Semi-Private Room. If the Insured is confined in a room of a class higher than Semi-Private Room, the benefits payable will be reduced by multiplying an adjustment factor ("Adjustment Factor"). The Adjustment Factor is calculated by dividing the daily room charge of a Semi-Private Room in the Hospital admitted by the Insured by the daily actual room charge of each such days of Confinement. "Semi-Private Room" means a twin or double occupancy room in a Hospital with two (2) patient beds (not including companion bed) and one (1) adjoining bathroom.
3 For purposes of payment of the Target Protection Benefit, where a Covered Cancer listed in (I)-(V) above ("Subsequent Relevant Cancer") is claimed following an Immediately Preceding Cancer suffered by the Insured, the Subsequent Relevant Cancer will be regarded as one and the same Covered Cancer as the Immediately Preceding Cancer unless Diagnosed after the Five-Year Cancer Waiting Period in respect of the Immediately Preceding Cancer.
4 The extra 50% Target Protection Benefit does not count towards the Lifetime Cancer Limit.
5 Applicable to Cancer Guardian Mega and Cancer Guardian Plus only.
6 If the Insured, whether sane or insane, commits suicide within one (1) year from the Issue Date or Commencement Date, whichever is later, our liability under the Policy will be limited to the refund of premiums paid (without interest) less any Policy Debt.

Caroline Wilson, Senior Reporter / / News
A HOUSING boss has defended plans for a second big rent rise opposed by Glasgow tenants.
Queen's Cross Housing Association is proposing to raise rents by 4.6% this year, on top of a 4.5% rise last year. Some tenants say this raises their pay-ments by £30 a month.
Residents have launched a campaign opposing the increase. A consultation on the plans ended last week.
However, Queen's Cross chief executive says the rise is needed to minimise the impact of Government welfare reforms and maintain services. The Under-Occupancy Rule – nicknamed the 'bedroom tax' – will cut the benefit paid to tenants who have spare bedrooms.
Housing benefit will also be phased out from April and replaced by the new Universal Credit, a single payment that will replace the current range of working age benefits.
Shona Stephen, chief executive of Queen's Cross Housing Associa-tion, says it must factor in projected losses in revenue, claiming rent arrears could double under the changes.
She said: "The consequence of the welfare reforms is that we are trying to manage the impact on services without harshly impacting on tenants.
"The 'bedroom tax' will affect about 300 tenants. The cost for us will be about £176,000. Those tenants will have to find money they did not have to before. Alongside that is the Universal Credit, which will go directly to the tenants. They might end up using that money for other costs.
"About 70% of our tenants qualify for housing benefit. This is paid directly to us, but in future we will have to pursue 4000 of our tenants for rent payments."
The association, which is responsible for almost 4500 homes in Woodside, Hamiltonhill/Wester-common, Queen's Cross and Dundasvale, says its average rent for proper-ties is £66.70 a week. It says this is lower than other housing associa-tions of a similar size.
Tenants in Woodside say the association has not done planned improve-ments. Ms Stephen said: "There is catch-up work to be carried out."

Schild wins Aspen slalom
Sun, 27 Nov 21:15:00 2011
World champion Marlies Schild was a class above the rest of the field in Aspen on Sunday when she won the first slalom of the World Cup season.
The Austrian was more than one second faster than her nearest rival over the two legs on the demanding Lower Ruthie's run.
Schild bagged her 30th World Cup victory, the 28th in a slalom, in one minute 43.72 seconds, beating last year's winner Maria Pietilae-Holmner of Sweden by 1.19.
Olympic champion Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany made up for a disappointing start to the season with third place, nearly two seconds adrift at 1.96.
"It was not easy as you never know what to expect in the first slalom of the season," Schild told reporters.
"I knew I felt good but you always need to gauge yourself against the others."
Schild, like most of the leading contenders, had to adapt to changing light conditions, the weather being sunny in the morning while the piste was in the shade in the finishing stages of the second run.
Hoefl-Riesch made it clear her first podium of the season had come as a great relief as her World Cup title defence had begun with lacklustre performances in two giant slaloms.
"With the changing light, I didn't manage to execute everything right but I'm very happy with this solid third place," she told reporters.
Her arch rival Lindsey Vonn, hampered by a back injury sustained in practice, decided not to start the race to rest ahead of next weekend's trip to Lake Louise, where the American has won seven races in the past.
Last season, Hoefl-Riesch humbled Vonn when she won both downhills in the Canadian resort.
