This is the best primer I have ever used, and I strongly doubt there will ever appear another one as good as this one on the market, at least not in the foreseeable future. This is my opinion on why...
This product is marketed as a 'sheer illuminating base' but it manages to do so much more than that. To me, it isn't just illuminating, it's perfecting. It is sheer indeed, one cannot detect it, and the best part about it is that it doesn't look like a primer on the skin, it doesn't alter the foundation, powder, or itself, if worn alone, and it just works wonders even by itself. Truly amazing.
I also have Clarins' Smooth Perfector, or whatever the little red jar is called (I can't remember right now...), but the differences are striking. So, to make things easier, I will do a little comparison since the Clarins one kinda works like 99% of the 'perfection primers' (silicone, etc).
The Chanel does not have glitter. It manages to illuminate the skin by casting a 'light' effect layer; it looks white when you apply it, because the color of the product is white, but it turns to physical 'glow' on the skin as you're blending it in. I think darker complexions can successfully rock this product since it makes the skin look like it's glowing from within; actually, i guess a dark olive/brown, or even seriously dark brown skin would look GORGEOUS with the glow this product gives. It is simply amazing.
The effect of this primer is something hard to explain, from both a normative perspective so to speak, and in comparison with the Clarins one. Basically, the texture is very light, you don't feel it on the skin, yet it somehow manages to chromatically correct any skin imperfection- spots, redness, even blemishes or pimples/acne. It just changes your skin color and uniformity, without settling into pores or lines, like the Clarins one does.
That one is a silicone-based primer which is especially aimed at filling up the wrinkles/lines/pores and creating a uniform canvas for the foundation application. This one does it by itself; no wonder many reviewers have mentioned wearing the primer by itself and feeling and looking great this way.
I used it with many foundations- powder, liquid, creme, etc. Yesterday I wore it with Rimmel's Wake Me Up, which, by itself (applied on top of moisturizer, no primers) has a quite uneven aspect; it does a great job at covering and everything, but the effect doesn't compare to the one it has when applied after this primer. The foundation just adhered to my skin like magic, it 'stuck' onto it, pretty much like Estee Lauder's Double Wear (minus the heaviness), it looked perfectly airbrushed, no flaws, no lines, nothing, not even around the mouth (where i have to use something cause i hate those dang lines!).
The coloring was beautiful, meaning that this primer managed to make the color of the foundation stand out, a beautiful milky beige (I have the foundation in Ivory), perfect and flawless. It even looked slightly powdered without powder on top, not greasy or oily at all, yet natural. After settling it with powder it lasted for about 10 hours, when i got home it looked intact (minus the blush, that had worn off). It was a fantastic surprise.
All in all, i think this primer does what Shiseido's mascara base does for the lashes- no matter how crappy the foundation you apply on top, it makes your skin look amazing, even in flash photography. I love it.
Been having mine for a year now (i think), used it several times only (special occasions since it's not a big bottle and it costs quite a lot, i paid �53 in duty free), however i will continue to repurchase this when i run out. It has become my 'secret' and i am so happy to have found it.
So, bottom line, if you want something that does everything Clarins' primer does, filling in fine lines, pore minimizing, perfect foundation application, PLUS some major natural glow and illumination of your skin, PLUS long wear for your foundation (no matter how cheap it is), PLUS flawless look, PLUS natural aspect (no cakiness, no running), MINUS that greasy feeling and rather heavy look of Clarins' primer (especially if you use a thicker foundation on top), THIS is the way to go. Highly highly recommended. Will absolutely NEVER buy another primer than this one.
Perhaps it's just my skintype, so, given the particularities we all have, plus the high price, i strongly recommend everyone to try and get their hands on some samples at least, and see the difference.

Originally purchased skeptically to tone down the look of the Hydramax+ tinted moisturizer (also Chanel) which i love the look and feel of but was a tad too dark for my skin tone. Mixed with the Blanc de Chanel, it was perfect! I am on my third bottle now, as I realized that this product does a million things. On my "good" days I can use it over my moisturizer (Laura Mercier Flawless Tone Perfecting Creme) and skip foundation altogether. When used with foundation, I only need to use a drop or two of foundation as the Blanc helps your foundation go a long way. The packaging is unfortunate, but I apply it directly to a round makeup sponge and that seems to work the best. When the bottle gets low, I just store it upside down until it's empty. It's a perfect product....adds glow without being glittery or overly dewy.... lets you touch up and add glow for evening without having to re-do your entire face.... nice highlight for browbone.... it's just an all-around great product. Chanel has an odd habit of discontinuing their great products so I stock up on this one whenever I have 45$ I don't know what to do with...lol. It is a bit pricey, but for a go-to "holy grail" product, we all know it is worth it!

Works averagely. Don't like the packaging as it does not come with a pump. Easily spilled! However, its watery texture makes it easy to glide on the face. Not the best make up base so far...

This greatly improves the way my skin looks with and without foundation. It just imparts luminosity and healthy radiance to the skin with NO sparkle or shine.
I also use it to highlight the cheekbones.

After having this for almost a year already I still can't make up my mind about it. I don't have much experience with primers. I don't need the oil control and I rarely do a "full make-up" face. The reason I bought this was to mix it with my foundations - I'm very fair and I end up with a lot of foundations that are just a bit too dark. This ended up being too sheer to really work for this purpose (it does work to make heavy foundations that are too matte or with too much coverage for my liking silkier and sheerer, though.) However, I recently purchased a powder foundation that was borderline dark - and which would oxidise and worsen throughout the day. This makes an amazing base for that. It actually makes it look lighter and prevents the shade from darkening. It also prevents the powder from emphasizing dry/flaky areas, which is often a big problem for me. I need to use quite a heavy moisturizer underneath which seems to prevent the fragrance and cones from upsetting my skin too much. I TRY to use a thin layer of this - but of course it's pretty much impossible to get the right amount out of that bottle. I also sometimes use this as a subtle highlighter. With my current use this would probably last me 2-3 years, at least - but it apparently only lasts 12 months after opening, which will mean throwing away 90% of the product in a couple of months. If Chanel would only package this in a more hygienic and practical way it would probably be fine to use much longer.

My make up routine has never involved a primer, but out of sheer curiousity, i decided to give Le Blanc a shot. The price is a bit on the steep side, but I foresee 1 bottle will be able to last me for quite a bit. Ahhh the infamous packaging problem. I really wonder why Chanel didnt add a pump to this one. It would make things so much easier. Being a clumsy klutz, trying to pour out a bit for use is definitely a no-no. The stick provided is totally pointless too. The best way for me to use this was to tilt the capped bottle upside down, unscrew the cap, and use that bit of product that is stuck to the cap using my fingers. probably not the most hygenic method, but it does the job. :) I love the heavenly smell of Le Blanc, and it feels almost like a luxury to apply it in the mornings. After applying a thin layer of Le Blanc, redness on my face was minimized, and overall my face just looks fresher. Applying foundation is a breeze after this (current foundation- Clinque's Perfectly Real liquid foundation). The overall look is really radiant, and makes the skin look flawless. It doesnt alter the colour of your foundation. Throughout the day, I noticed that my makeup stays much longer, and oil don't shine through till almost the end of the day. LOVES! will definitely repurchase. :)

This has definitely improved the appearance of my mature fine and sensitive skin when applied without moisturizer and under my Vitalumiere.
However, the bottle is a nightmare, with a wide neck and a virtually useless plastic stick. The plastic stick is presumably to keep the contents of the bottle clean. But where do you put the stick after use? It won't even balance nicely on the top of the lid, so when it falls off you have to clean it or you might as well never have bothered with the stick.
Why on earth does this product not come in a small pump bottle of the type that contains Vitalumiere?
Then to add to the insult, the tester bottle of Blanc de Chanel in the store display from which we sample the product does come in a small pump bottle.
What on earth are Chanel thinking of?
If it wasn't for the hopeless packaging I'd have probably rated this product a 5 overall, because the expense would have been justified if the packaging was appropriate.
Next time I'll look for a similar product in appropriate packaging.

I used to think Chanel products were all about the name. Until I tried this....I cannot rave enough about this product. It smells AMAZING, every morning when I wake up tired, putting this on puts a smile on my face. At the end of the day my MUFA still looks perfect...with no pores!!! Can I say more...will always use this thank you Chanel. I am a person always searching for better.....I have stopped looking for better primer!!

I am on my second bottle of this product and I wouldn't want to be without it. I started using this last year because I decided to abandon using powder over foundation now that my skin is more mature and is starting to get fine lines. I had never used a primer before and had read great reviews about this one. I have fairly good skin, but nonetheless, my pores are visible...until I apply this product. My pores literally shrink before my eyes when I apply this. It also fills in the little fine lines and reduces oiliness that develops late on a hot day (but it's not drying, mind you). I was wearing this under Chanel's Teint Innocence, until they discontinued it. Now I'm using Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, and this product works just as great under that. I hope that they never discontinue this!

Students from Westwood High School officially started dual enrollment courses with Northern Michigan University on Monday.
Some seniors are taking English 111, an NMU course now offered at WHS.
"I heard about En111 and I really, really like English, and I decided to take that class along with the high school class I was taking. It just sounded like a fun course," said Gabi French, student.
"A lot of things that are in En111 we teach here, but there is a composition component that's kind of creative writing and personal essay, which is a little different from what they've done. So, that's a new thing I think," said BG Bradley, teacher at WHS.
It's all part of a fairly new partnership between the high school and NMU. They offered Precalculus and Calculus last semester and since it was so successful, they've expanded. This semester students can take Economics, English, and Math courses.
"They get introduced to college courses that will give them the opportunity to see what that's all about. With the dual enrollment courses, the tuition is free," said Bryan DeAugustine, Superintendent of NICE Community Schools.
All of the courses are taught right at the high school with teachers that already work at school. Some of the courses, like economics, are hybrids where students will have lectures in class but also submit work online.
"I'll be taking Probability and Statistics, and I'm hoping I will do well because I want to be in the math field in the future," said Megan Chapman, student.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Sansheng - Three Saints
by vegan_simon
Review: i went here last week (mid January 2009), but it was closed that day presumably because of Spring Festival holiday. The place is still in operation. Go to the west end of the block containing the Lijiang International Hotel and you will come to a fiveways. Find the Police station diagonally opposite that corner on the fiveways, then walk down the street (also diagonally opposite the hotel corner) opposite side to the police station and the restaurant is a couple of shops along the way. There's a "vegetarian" sign, written vertically in English outside. I'm sorry to have missed out on their food!

Bryan, Texas - Grab your headdresses, warpaint and your neon, glow-in-the-dark shutter shades, Ishi is coming back to bring a little funk to Downtown Bryan! Ishi is a colorful, high-energy electronic band with influences of soul, funk, techno and house. A Grand Stafford crowd favorite, these guys can turn even the most stagnant of wallflowers into a psychoactive rave monkey. It's definitely a show not to be missed!
Doors will open at the Grand Stafford Theater at 8 p.m. with the first act set to begin playing at 9 p.m. Tickets are being sold for $10 in advance and can be bought online at grandstaffordtheater.com, or for $12 at the door.
With two full-length albums under their belts, Ishi has made quite a name for themselves. Hailing from Dallas, the band has traveled to numerous music festivals, where they have been able to share the stage with some of the world's most widely respected indie acts like Passion Pit, Of Montreal, Phoenix and Chromeo. Their ability to successfully walk the line between an ambitious studio act and a multi-sensory live experience allows them to engage their audiences in an uplifting celebration of live and universal awareness. High-energy dance floors, combined with the subtle undertones of inner-exploration, create a concert experience that is inarguably one of a kind. Each night, Ishi sets out to create an entirely unique environment of mysticism, awareness, love and acceptance — something we all could use a little of.
Ishi will be joined by Sphynx, a band that self-identifies as "space glam" — in layman's terms, try electro/pop. This band, straight out of Austin, caught the eyes of several critics at the SXSW music festival a couple years back — they were named one of the top 10 best new bands in Austin at The Austin Music Awards, Unique Squared named them the "most shocking wall of sound from a 3-piece" seen at SXSW, and they even caught the attention of top music blogs like AOL Spinner, The Burning Ear and Pop'stache. All this growing popularity is due in part to their energetic and bizarre live shows, which "brings together musical elements of punk and glam rock to create a big sound and a live experience worthy of an arena," according to The Horn.

With so many ways to make an introduction, maybe the best would be to start off by explaining what a company looks like that has integrated Just Culture into their way of doing business. A Just Culture company, like many others, has a mission. Its pursuits and reason for being are grounded in certain values it has determined are most important to it. Now imagine every employee protects those values by the choices they make and how they accomplish their duties.
Of course, what life tells us is that people not only can, but will, make mistakes. Sometimes these mistakes hurt others or cause harm to the company; aware of that, this company has designed a system that can catch those errors before they become critical. If they do become critical, they have designed recoveries to stop or reduce the bad outcome.
This company has Just Culture concepts which help it to constantly improve its systems at the core because its employees feel safe to raise their hand when they see a mistake or made an error or bad choice so the system can be updated and improved to help catch those events. This is a company that learns from its mistakes and near misses. It's efficient because its expectations are clear. Its stable because it's always learning. It's profitability is strengthened because it is more efficient, stable and the risks are proactively managed. Employee morale is high since every person is treated fairly and is empowered to do the best within their positions.
A Just Culture is a result as much as it is a set of management skills and tools that make it possible. Just Culture transforms an environment from the inside out. Everyone gets on the same page and is made aware of the companies' values and how they are expected to make choices that protect them. Everyone is an active part of the plan and the solutions.
A just culture company identifies 3 types of behavioral choices that every person makes and needs to manage. Click to open each behavior for its explanation.
It holds its people accountable to one or more of those behavioral choices when they carry out three types of duties or expectations. These three duties are defined as: Click to open each duty for its explanation.
These behaviors and duties are at the core of the 5 skills a company applies to make this transformation possible. Click to open each skill for its explanation.
The Just Culture AlgorithmTM is our primary tool for understanding and categorizing the choices of those in our organization. With it, we can evaluate an event based on a set of duties inherent to the system in order to determine which of the three behaviors was most likely in play. This gives us the ability to address the event and the people involved in a constructive way rather than simply reacting to the outcome. It can also show us how multiple behaviors can be associated with a single event, so that we can evaluate each behavior separately in order to more effectively determine the root cause.
Company wide performance and organizational improvements, where equity, fairness and accountability live at the forefront, that is a Just Culture. For the sake of our staff, those we serve and ourselves, we all need it.
You can watch the 43 minute webinar video recording provided below. It is presented by one of our advisors, Ellen McDermott. In it she does a very good job of further introducing Just Culture in a simple and comprehensive way, while still diving into the questions you may have before moving further.
Watch the 20 minute What is Just Culture video by David Marx. Watch the Top 10 Questions - FAQ videos answered by David Marx, JD and CEO of Outcome Engenuity. Some of these questions answered are submitted by others going through the various stages of rolling out a Just Culture in their organizations. With every organization and every role of a given position being unique, the importance of certain Just Culture concepts may be emphasized accordingly. This is another option to consider with those as potential insights when watching those 10 videos.

Roll the dice and continue business as usual. Well we would call that At Risk behavior and we don't recommend that. Doing nothing will potentially keep you from harvesting the organizational improvements that a Just Culture is proven to provide. You see the truth is we are all fallible humans who will make mistakes. We will drift into behaviors that don't support the best values. We will hide the important information of an error if we continue to get punished for not being perfect. We will continue to lose precious profit and our resources will get tapped by bad outcomes and lack of performance. We hope you would decide to join the community of worldwide organizations which are living out the Just Culture everyday and are supporting each other in ways to make the world a better place to live. A more just and fair culture for us all.
15 Responses to Getting To Know Just Culture
Is there a way to make just culture a mandatory law in all hospitals…the nurses are under so much stress that they need education not punishment.
I just became aware of this site from a psychologist. I think you touched upon this, but I wanted to expand on one point.
Statistically speaking, there will be "false positives" in a system, and punishing people who come forth, in good faith, to provide information germane to a process should instead be assured they did the right thing.
As far as the saying "crying wolf", few people have ever read the fable and caught on to the significance. The boy KNOWING knew he was giving false information. It is when people fail to speak up, is when really bad things happen.
Airplane accident reports from NTSB illustrate this. Airplanes are complex systems, and small errors, more than one that cascade, end up with a crash. Tenerife illustrates this. The flight engineer of the KLM jet questioned the clearance for take-off – twice. He was ignored. See http://www.tenerifecrash.com/transcripts.htm for a transcript.
Had the captain listened, and double-checked, the captain would look bad, so the flight engineer's career was ended regardless. A cultural thing.
If there are no false positives in a process … figure some real positives are getting overlooked. For the little guy, there is just nothing in it for them to speak up. For plane accidents, it is something usually very innocuous that starts the cascade.
The American Airlines flight 587 crash was a software error, that does not appear in analysis of the crash. (No one in software is going to own to that one, that is career ending.) The reports go on and on about hardware, training, pilot error, etc. … but poor software design was the final straw.
Do you have a Final Check Toolkit for Mislabeled bloods.
[…] other factors. Blaming or punishing an individual might feel good, but that's usually not the just outcome and it usually won't do anything to protect others. We need to fix the system and […]
There is a strong emphasis on reporting as a feature in a Just Culture and I understand that the quality of reporting would indicate the penetration of any Just Culture policy. Do you have tools to measure quality in reporting?
You have very clear material on the benefits of Just Culture. I am a pilot in a major Airline and am interested in the tools you supply to implement Just Culture. Particularly I am interested in the reporting aspect; where the pilot/employee reports errors/mistakes of their own doing for the benefit of the safety management of the organisation.
There are obvious requirements that any report should be frank and open, revealing a sense of accountability if it was to be of any value in a Just Culture but companies are not Just all of the time. It would seem important for an organisation to measure the penetration of any Just Culture by the number of reports and by the quality of them. I realise it is more art than science, but do you have any criteria you recommend to measure the quality of reports?
[…] RCA. Blameless postmortem is an awesome concept that defines a culture around failure called a "Just Culture" that was introduced to me in a blog post by John Allspaw, Web Operations guru at Etsy. It's a […]
In the webinar, I heard the question regarding recurring human error. Similar, I have a question on recurring at risk behaviors. If following an at risk behavior, an employee is coached….would a recurrence be considered reckless since it would now be understood that an employee was specifically made aware of the associated risks? Equally important, conversely, in order to punish an employee would insinuate a reckless behavior was displayed. To be considered reckless would, in turn, insinuate that an employee knew the potential for increased risk and chose to intiate the behavior anyway., right? It is hard to relate this to the driving while intoxicated example given in the webinar, but is it unjust and inappropriate to punish someone for for a behavior (regardless of result) if the investigation reveals that the employee did not fully understand associated risks?
How else could I term "risks" if not related to life or death situations, and how can I relate the Just Culture model to typical operations? For example, an employee is given a verbal order to complete an objective (of no particular priority), but fails to complete the action. Subsequently, if coaching is provided to enable the employee to understand why the objective needs to be met, but this "at risk" behavior of failing to complete the objective recurs, is this considered "reckless" and subject to punishment?
[…] process problems. It's not just Lean that believes and teaches this, but also see "Just Culture" as a methodology. It's not fair to expect people to "be careful" in a bad […]

A Lenten Commitment to Homeland Insecurity
We clearly live in a world that is filled with risks and dangers, and because the increased availability of modern technology allows for harm to occur at unprecedented rates and levels, one can argue that we live in one of the most treacherous eras of human history. However, while the need for protection from harm is both natural and commendable, we are forced to consider whether protection itself can eventually become harmful, unnatural, and even condemnable. In other words, with such extensive resources invested in the pursuit of safety and security, one is forced to consider: What are the consequences of such "protection?" And what happens when so much time and effort is dedicated toward protecting ourselves from our neighbors that we eventually lose sight of who are neighbors actually are? At what point does the heightened priority of protection lead to the increased inevitability of isolation and ignorance? And finally, in our efforts to build impenetrable walls of protection (often in the name of freedom), do we not eventually incarcerate ourselves from the rest of the world and thus limit what it actually means to live free?

So basically i was doing some Google searching and found out that i do not need to be outsourced any longer. When ever you call a number that is outsourced or oversees offices that is all you have to say is "Please transfer me to American Offices" and they have to transfer you to American offices which can better assist you because you speak the same dialect!!
This helped me and i have tried it with every single person i have called today Including EQ/TU/EX and all transfer me to American call offices which seem very eager to help than oversees ones.
Just thought i would add this to here so people can experience my happiness also!!. Calling 1(800) numbers are no longer a pain!!

Cubs Ding Long Dongers to Christen Cubs Park in Mesa
Justin Ruggiano, Welington Castillo, and Christian Villanueva blasted solo home runs, and Kyle Hendricks threw 2.2 IP of no-run/no-hit ball, as the Cubs "White" team defeated the Cubs "Blue" team 5-3 in a six-inning Cactus League Intrasquad game played this afternoon in what was the first Cubs game played at Cubs Park in Mesa.
Hendricks started the game for the "White" squad, and retired all eight men he faced, recording three strikeouts (all three swinging) and 4/1 GO/FO along the way.
LHP Eric Jokisch got the start for the "Blue" men, and he threw 2.1 IP of shutout ball, allowing two harmless singles. He also did not walk anyone, and he struck out four (all four swinging).
Chang-Yong Lim, Tsuyoshi Wada, Neil Ramirez, and Arodys Vizcaino had poor outings, each allowing at least one run. Vizcaino could not throw strikes consistently (he walked the first two men he faced), Lim threw almost nothing but strikes but got hammered anyway (two doubles and a single in one inning of work), Wada gave up two long home runs of the type you usually only see in Batting Practice (one to Ruggiano and the other to Castillo), and Ramirez was just a mess, allowing two runs on a HR, two singles, a walk, and a WP, in just a third of an inning, while throwing 23 pitches (only 11 strikes).
Marcus Hatley tossed a scoreless inning but threw more balls than strikes, and Brian Schilitter allowed a run on a walk and a ringing double by Chris Coghlan, followed by an Arismendy Alcantara Sacrifice Fly. (Coghlan also laid-down a textbook RBI squeeze bunt SH earlier in the game).
RHRP Armando Rivero had a strong outing, though, throwing 1.1 IP of perfect baseball with two swinging strikeouts. His splitter was dive-bombing opposing hitters today, and was virtually unhittable.
In addition to the three solo home runs, the sac fly, and the squeeze bunt, two more runs were driven in by way of RBI single (one by Junior Lake, and another by PH Ryan Kalish). The eighth run scored on a Wild Pitch.
The defensive gem of the day was turned in by LF Matt Szczur, who robbed Alcantara with a diving catch at the LF foul line, a catch that prevented a two-run double that would have made Brian Schlitter's day a lot worse (although one run did score from 3rd base on the SF). Schlitter also benefited from a fine defensive play on the last AB of the game, as 2B Logan Watkins showed quick reflexes by staying with a ball that bounded off the 2nd base bag and appeared headed toward the outfield, making a bare-handed catch and rapid-fire throw to nip Jorge Soler on a "bang-bang" play at 1st to end the game.
Here is the abridged box score from today's game:
1a. Luis Valbuena, 3B: 1-2 (F-8, 2B, R)

88-91mph fastball, control
88-91mph fastball, control pitcher with 4 pitches (plus change), simple/repeatable delivery, changes speed on his stuff, gets Ks, doesn't give up HRs, consistently talked up as a "thinking man" pitcher, not thought of as athletic or built for baseball (outside of being 6'3")...fits the bill on the surface.
the only thing he's missing is a McDonalds addiction...and a HOF career.
texas rangers chicago cubs farm system is looking good. k.hendricks, c.villanueva, cj edwards, m.olt, n.ramirez...and a spare j.grimm to boot.
btw, the move of j.grimm to the pen is something i both look forward to and hoped would happen...i think that's where he belongs and his stuff will shine. as a starter he's way to conservative with his stuff out of the gate (and gets punished for it) trying to keep his arm in shape for later innings (imo).
What do you think Henkricks

no idea. all i've heard and read is scouting reports, recaps, and musings from those who have seen him pitch. it's kinda hard to project guys (especially righty starters) who have "everything" except velocity even though this is a guy who legitimately has everything across the board except velocity.
it's a so-far-so-good thing, but he's not pitched to too many guys that could punish him 4-5+ batters out of 9 in a lineup.
Thanks, I think we are in the
Thanks, I think we are in the same boat. His results so far are encouraging, and people with less velocity have succeeded at the major league level. Let's hope he continues to get people out.
Yeah, if even just one of
Yeah, if even just one of these kids can push his way into the lineup this year, I'll be able to tolerate another punt season - as long as they pinky promise it's the last one. Especially since free agency is basically dead with all the good players getting locked up (See Atlanta and impending Angels/Trout deal).
I like this year's rumored draft strategy, too. Stock up on pitchers, but not make the first pick necessarily a pitcher. Have we depleted the Rangers' farm system yet? Or are there more trades to be had?

BP has the cubs farm system
BP has the cubs farm system at #2 with a speeding bullet upward for 2015. The link is for their list of all 30 clubs:
State of the System: Thanks to a strong draft, clever trades, an aggressive acquisition plan in the international market, and developmental progress from some of the big names in the system, the Cubs became one of the strongest systems in the game.
Farm System Trajectory for 2015: Up. While its likely that several of the Cubs' top prospects will get a taste of the majors in 2014, the majority of the talent will remain eligible for next season's list, and if you add to the mix a high draft pick this June and an extreme amount of young depth ready to make their stateside debuts, the system could take over the coveted rank of number one in baseball.

I agree with what you said, but isn't it so weird that the White Sox are not linked to Fowler? They seem like an ideal fit.
oddly...or not...fowler's been strongly linked to the O's lately.

seen him in the minors...rather boring lefty. really slow secondary stuff (very slow slider) and a fastball that barely hits 90 on a good day.

Buttonweed in St Aug

It's beginning to turn a little purple here because of the cool nights. That and increasingly shorter daylight hours are slowing all turf and most summer weeds down. If a weed isn't growing, it will not die. Communicate to the customer that spraying it at this time would do more harm than good. If it is large patches I would be on it as soon as it shows itself again next spring. I spray buttonweed in St. Aug with 1oz/acre metsulfuron+MSO. I have a friend who spikes this with a herbicide called Spotlight. He swears it actually will eliminate Virginia Buttonweed. I have only been able to control/supress it with the straight metsulfuron/MSO mix I use.
As far as I know, there is no pre-emergent to control it. If you find that there is one, please let me know.

Popular in Brittany, in northwest France, where the local cuisine is defined by rich, rustic flavors.
- ½ cup buckwheat flour
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup plus 2 tbsp milk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Filling:
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 red onions, thinly sliced
- 7 oz (200g) smoked ham, chopped
- 1 tsp chopped thyme
- 4 oz (115g) Brie, cut into small pieces
- ½ cup creme fraiche
Special Equipment:
- 8 in (20cm) nonstick frying pan
1. To make the pancakes, sift the flours into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Gradually mix the eggs into the flours using a wooden spoon, adding the milk and a scant ½ cup water to make a smooth batter. Cover and let stand for 2 hours.
2. To make the filling, heat the oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the ham and thyme. Remove from the heat.
3. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Heat an 8 in (20cm) nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Grease lightly with oil. Spoon in 2 tbsp of the batter and swirl to coat the base. Cook for about 1 minute, or until lightly browned underneath. Flip over and cook for 1 minute more, or until lightly browned on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the pan as necessary. Make 8 pancakes in total.
4. Stir the Brie and créme fraîche into the filling. Evenly divide among the pancakes then fold in the pancake edges to form "parcels." Place on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes until hot.
The batter can be prepared a few hours in advance and left at room temperature.
Freezing Information:
The unfilled pancakes can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Proven Provia Expired '985 11 Share Tweet
A curiosity buy of an old stock Fuji Chrome Film, which expired in 1998.
I just bought an old stock of Fuji Chrome Provia 100. I'm so excited yet very curious to try it on my LC-A+ as the expiry date written is 1998!
A long lost 40 rolls of it is waiting to be exposed. And so I used it on our lomo walk hunting (again with adi_totp and also mgf). The lomo walk mission this time is around the old train stations and surround it.
And when I got it developed I was very surprised that the result is quite satisfying, well at least for me. The color and the grain is so attractive it makes me want try another roll of it.
Here it is the Proven Provia 100 expired '98:

Leon Knopoff
Ernst, W. G., Davis, Paul M., Jackson, David D., Gilbert, Freeman, Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society
AMAN OF UNUSUALLY wide-ranging interests and talents, Leon Knopoffhad the rare distinction of being simultaneously a professor of physics, a professor of geophysics, and a research musicologist at UCLA. The only child of Max and Ray Knopoff, Leon was born in Los Angeles on 1 July 1925, and was the first of his extended family to attend college. He died at his home on 20 January 2011.
As an undergraduate he studied electrical engineering (B.S. cum laude, 1944), and obtained his Ph.D. in physics and mathematics (also cum laude) at the California Institute of Technology in 1949. In 1950 Louis Slichter recruited Knopoffto the Institute of Geophysics at UCLA, where he became professor of geophysics in 1957 and professor of both geophysics and physics in 1961. He was appointed research musicologist in the UCLA Institute of Ethnomusicology shortly after it was formed in 1960. Other appointments included faculty positions at Miami University of Ohio (1948-50) and Caltech (1962-63) as well as visiting academic appointments at Cambridge (three separate yearlong visits), Karlsruhe, Harvard, Santiago, Trieste, and Venice. He was awarded an NSF Senior Postdoctoral Fellowship in 1960, and a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in 1976.
Knopoffwas elected as a fellow of the American Geophysical Union (1962), a member of the National Academy of Sciences (1963), a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1964), a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1965), and a member of the American Philosophical Society (1992). A true international scientist, he received the Emil Wiechert Medal of the Deutsche Geophysikalische Gesellschaft(1978), the gold medal of the Royal Astronomical Society (1979), the H. F. Reid Medal of the Seismological Society of America (1990)-thereby becoming an honorary member, the Golden Badge Award of the European Geophysical Society (2001), and a doctorate honoris causa from the Université Louis Pasteur, Strasbourg (2004). Leon was elected as a fellow of Selwyn College, Cambridge (1986). He first visited China in the 1970s, and returned often to collaborate with Chinese colleagues. He was named the first honorary professor of the Institute of Geophysics of the China Earthquake Administration (2004).
Leon served as the director of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at UCLA for fourteen years, from 1972 to 1986. Among other professional responsibilities, he was founding member and secretary general of the International Upper Mantle Project; founder and chair of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics Committee on Mathematical Geophysics; chair of the U.S. Upper Mantle Committee; chair of the U.S. Committee for the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior; and chair of the Ad Hoc Committee on Seismology and Aftershocks, Atomic Energy Commission. Knopoffserved as editor of Non-Linear Processes in Geophysics and associate editor of Reviews of Geophysics and Space Physics and Journal of Geophysical Research-Solid Earth.
His selfless cooperation was truly global, but nowhere was it more clearly demonstrated than at his own institution in his dedicated teaching of undergraduate and graduate students, his thirty-nine Ph.D. students, forty postdoctoral fellows, and academic colleagues from more than seventeen countries. Knopoffwas an inspiring teacher who excelled at simplifying complex topics and encouraging learning through his infectious animation and remarkable patience. It is not surprising that he won the "outstanding teacher award" in the UCLA physics department four times, which for him was a source of great pride. He was also honored as UCLA Faculty Research Lecturer in 1972.
Over the course of a long and extremely fruitful career, Leon authored or coauthored 232 scientific papers in refereed journals, as well as 134 other publications, including original research works in nonrefereed journals, book chapters, and other reports and reviews. …

Respond to Review of Idiot
by GUEST
Review: Pretty good food and nice atmosphere, but... 'Not 100% vegetarian'? You could say that again. It's more like a fish restaurant with some vegetarian options. 'Vegan-friendly'? The waitress didn't know what 'vegan' meant and the menu didn't indicate if something is vegetarian or vegan. There wasn't anything specifically vegan besides vegetables and potatoes. All in all, not that much more vegan-friendly than any other non-vegetarian restaurant I went to in St. Petersburg.

That Maccabees album is so good, as are A Wilhem Scream.
For me, this week has been all about:
Built to Spill
Magnetic Fields
The Head and the Heart
Scott Walker
Big K.R.I.T.
Listening to these all week:
Great album, so much stuff going on
Feel bad it leaked so early:
Never listened to these guys before their ep:
Good, without Kyle I would have never checked this out:
Fang Island - S/T
And Enter Shikari's new album is pretty good.
It's a Brand New week for sure. I'm just wondering when we'll see some new material from them. Also Say Anything's ...Is A Real Boy and The Shins's Wincing the Night Away.
No money for new games so playing this:
I would recommend Funeral Diner and City of Caterpillar as a couple older bands, and more recent bands I would say Former Theives and Xerxes. Also take a look at Worker.
The Dead Kennedys
Black Flag
Modest Mouse
Mumford and Sons
The Mountain Goats
I wanted one so bad, but my brother got me a Griffin shirt, should hold me over for a while.
Digging all the improvements so far in 2012
Recommendation: Everything Elliott Smith and Modest Mouse
and of Montreal's new album and all their albums since Satanic Panic
I've already done that, haha. I went through all 3 Stargate series, Doctor Who, 3rd Rock From the Sun, Futurama, The Office, The Big Bang Theory, Dragon Ball Z, Eureka, Warehouse 13, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Parks and Recreation, and I'm probably forgetting a couple of shows that are on my external HDD.
Now, I have about 3 episodes of The Office to catch up on, then I'm out of TV shows to follow and have to pick a new one. I'll probably watch the latest season of Warehouse 13, then I have to pick between one of the shows I already have downloaded--24, Battlestar Galactica, Planet Earth, Married...With Children, and Firefly. I've watched way too much shit.
It's the best Call of Duty so far anyway. MW3 is just bad, haha.
Awesome, heavy hardcore with thoughtful subject matter and sick, dynamic guitar tones. FFO 108, Disembodied, Unbroken
Slept hard on this album. Great little addition to their pretty solid catalog of engaging post-metal/rock. Circling, spacey and energetic. FFO Cave In, Pelican
Picture a younger Isaac Brock fronting Explosions in the Sky. It's kinda like that. Pretty cool stuff.
Running through the series, up to here now. Shit's getting wacky.
Is Envy and Modern Life Is War (respectively) too obvious?

President Obama should consider changes to his health-care law to honor his pledge, former President Bill Clinton said in an interview. NBC reports.
CNBC's Eamon Javers reports what Bill Clinton had to say about the roll out of Obamacare. "The president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people, and let them keep what they got," he said.

I wanted to do a Smallville Super Speed effect in editing, but then I saw like hundred's of videos on YouTube showing the same thing. Of all those videos non of them have someone doing superspeed with non-speed items in the background or interacting with them. So that's what I wanted to do.
So here's my movie effect.

A Reminder to Justice Kennedy
from Maggie Gallagher:
I think it's a serious problem. A democracy should not be dependent for its major decisions on what nine unelected people from a narrow legal background have to say. And I think it's of tremendous importance for our political system to show the rest of the world — and we have to show ourselves first — that democracy works because we can reach agreement on a principled basis. — Justice Kennedy, March 7
The Corner
The one and only.

|GASEK OY Patent applications
|Patent application number
|METHOD FOR GASIFYING SOLID FUEL AND CONCURRENT GASIFIER - A method for gasifying solid fuel in a co-current gasifier having a fuel silo and a combustion chamber. The method includes a pyrolysis phase in which the fuel decomposes into pyrolysis products, and a gasification phase in which the pyrolysis products are gasified into product gas. Heat transfer from the combustion chamber to the fuel silo is restricted to ensure that the fuel does not dry and pyrolysis does not take place in the fuel silo. The beginning of the pyrolysis is intentionally transferred as close to the gasification phase as possible, and an attempt is made to make the duration of the pyrolysis phase as short as possible. The rise of the fuel temperature is slowed down by transferring heat generated in the gasification phase to a medium, such as gasification air. In the co-current gasifier between the fuel silo and the combustion chamber, there is a cooling channel, which restricts heat transfer and also functions as a preheater for the gasification air.
