This is a mediocre powder foundation and there are plenty of other cheaper alternatives to this. I like powder foundations because they seem to be more for evening out skin tones rather than covering acne or scars, but this does nothing to even out my skin. Also, the lightest shade is too dark and yellow for me to layer all over my face. I have only bothered to apply this dry, and have used brushes, the sponge, and powder puff, and it just does not work for me. I suppose I will use this to touch up during the day until it is gone, but I would not buy this again.

I put this on with my kabuki brush, and it's the best foundation I have ever used. I love the shade. I love that you can build the intensity. I love how it doesn't settle into my 'fine lines'. I love how its luminous, so it doesn't look like you have caked product onto your face - rather, it looks like a much better version of your natural skin. On me it lasts all day - even in the Auckland humidity. If your looking for a product that is easy to apply, lasts all day, and due to the amount in the palette works out great value for money, then you can't go wrong with this product. Highly recommended over others I've tried like bobby brown, shisedo, and becca to name a few

Really good coverage. Didn't break me out. Packaging is a little bulky but otherwise love this powder. You have to be careful with applying too much though and should be even coz you can patches if noted applied correctly. I prefer using a brush for lesser coverage and a sponge for thicker coverage.

Really wanted to I love especailly after I cashed that much money for it. But the only thing I like about this is the coverage, it was wonderful! match my skin perfectly and made me look flawless in the beginning. BUT it did not do want i wanted it to do and that was oil control. After 2hrs my face was an like an oil spill .. just felt gross. So no, I would not buy again, fail.

Going against the grain here. Good coverage but no staying power. At the end of the day my face looked pretty gross.
Much prefer her Loose Mineral spf 15 or Pressed Mineral spf 15 to this.

After I bought this powder I was underwhelmed at first. I did not like the way it looked when I used either the enclosed puff or sponge.
But when I tried it with my kabuki brush I was amazed! It is so easy to put on and just seems to airbrush all my flaws away. It stays on great and gives me a nice, matte look, which I love because I have oily skin.
I will definitely repurchase.

I really, really wanted to like this powder. I have been searching for a powder foundation that will not bother my sensitive skin and this was just not it because it contains mica. The coverage was good, it didn't accentuate my large pores, and the color I was matched with was perfect. But after wearing for a few hours my skin started itching like crazy, so back to the store it will be going :(

When I first bought this product, I thought it was too cakey and powdery. After some testing and experimenting with application, I now adore this! I use it as a touch up whenever neededn (ie: when its 40 degrees here in Oz!). I apply it by gently but firmly patting the powder with the sponge onto my face in the desired areas. Do NOT slide the sponge over your face, it will look terrible. I haven't tried this as a foundation yet, but will do so in winter. I have dry skin and this works for me, so if you have normal-oily skin,i would presume that this would work even better for you! I really like the hygenic packaging with the seperate part for the sponge with air holes. I don't mind the size of the compact, as my bag is huge anyway!

This provides the fullest coverage a POWDER foundation has ever given me. It's so silky-smooth and covers very well. And i can use a concealer brush to cover spots so easily. The only downsize is that it can get cakey if you layer too much. And also, it's $40. I don't know if it's worth it for a smaller-than-average compact. I do highly recommend it if price is not an issue for you. The website says you can apply it wet for even fuller coverage. I tried using it with my MAC Fix+ spray and ruined the top layer of my powder :(

Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Coarse

I love this foundation. I wear it everyday. It works so well for me. It covers well without causing Acne, which is a MIRACLE for me! I don't even need another foundation for "special" events anymore. Plus, it lasts all day with the mineral primer. My only major gripe is how expensive it costs! Other than that, it's perfect. Love itttt!
*I apply it with a brush, because it looks too drying with sponge application.
edit: overtime this has become too expensive and drying of a foundation for me. I think the coverage has been too heavy for everyday wear and that overtime it increased my acne. I still recommend it for occasional use.

I also wash my face every morning and use a salicylic acid moisterizer before i put on makeup because i have dry skin. Its not working. What should i do?

Eating Disorders: Two You May Not Know Much About
National Eating Disorders Awareness Week happens from February 26 - March 3 this year. Here are two eating disorders that don't always get as much attention, yet that our students struggle with regularly.
Binge-Eating Disorder
* People who have this disorder have frequent episodes of compulsive overeating, often at least two binge-eating episodes per week, on average, for six months
* Unlike people with bulimia they do not purge their bodies after eating
* During binges, they often eat alone or very quickly, regardless of whether they feel hungry or full
* They often feel guilt or shame over their actions
* Binge-eating disorder is a vicious cycle, as the excessive eating usually causes guilt, unhappiness or stress, which may lead to more binge eating
* Binge-eating disorder often leads to obesity, cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes
* Someone with this disorder may eat between 10,000 and 20,000 calories per day
* People with binge-eating disorder often have coexisting psychological illnesses including anxiety, depression and personality disorders
* As many as half of all people with binge-eating disorder are depressed or have been depressed in the past
* Certain behaviors more com mon in people with binge-eating disorder include abusing alcohol, acting impulsively, not feeling in charge of themselves, and not noticing and/or talking about their feelinss
Signs & symptoms include:
* A marked increase in food consumption
* Weight gain
* Secretive eating habits
* A compulsion to eat as much as possible
* Eating even when full
* Eating very quickly
* A feeling that binges are out of control, but a compulsion to continue
* Hiding food containers
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
* This is characterized by a fixation with a real or imagined visual imperfection on the body
* Certain physical obsessions are common among people with BDD. These include:
* Size or shape of a facial feature, like the nose
* Moles or freckles
* Acne
* Scars
* Body/facial hair
* Thinning hair
* Breast size
* Size and shape of genitals
* The preoccupation with appearance causes significant distress and/or shame
* It may cause impairment in work, school or social settings
* The preoccupation is not accounted for by another mental illness
* People with BDD may have very low self-esteem
* This disorder can cause self-alienation from peers
* People with BDD may be inclined to get plastic surgery
Signs & symptoms include:
* A large amount of time spent looking in mirrors
* Constantly talking about their appearance
* Using hands or posture to hide or draw attention away from defect
* Wearing specific clothing or a lot of makeup to hide flaw
* Frequently measuring perceived or exaggerated defect
* Putting themselves down, calling themselves unattractive
* Skin picking
* A lot of exercise, if the fixation is with muscle

Current Exhibits
at the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum
Color and Shape: The Art of the American Theorem
In the early years of the 19th century, theorem painting was a popular activity in both the school and home. Young girls were taught to use stencils to create colorful still life pictures, usually painted on fabric. Ladies' magazines of the period also gave instruction to those wanting to try the technique at home. This exhibition in the Guyton Gallery, features 11 paintings, exploring how the theorems were made and how individual artists, using very similar stencils, created their own take on the subject. Today many of the theorems survive without the name of the maker, but four pieces in the exhibition are signed, providing the opportunity to take a closer look at the diverse backgrounds of the artists.
Through September 5, 2017.
A Carolina Christmas
A Carolina Christmas will show visitors a scene of Christmas past complete with antique toys, stockings hung with care and a decorated table top tree. The original 1835 parlor of the North Carolina home of Alexander and Sarah Shaw provides the perfect setting for the display. The room is furnished with pieces from the period including a grain-painted tall case clock. The toys date from the second half of the nineteenth century. A German Noahss ark sits on the fireplace mantel while around the room will be seen dolls, a wooden rocking horse, a 7-foot long wooden train and other toys enjoyed by children over 100 years ago. In the Rex and Pat Lucke Gallery.
Opens Nov. 26, 2015 through January 3, 2016
A Century of African-American Quilts
This exhibit showcases eleven colorful and stunning quilts, half of which have never before been seen by the public, spanning more than a century after 1875. The quilts of African Americans varied widely, depending on the date, location or community, the purpose for which the quilt was made, and the personal artistic vision of the quilt maker. The bold designs and brilliant colors of the quilts speak to a longstanding cultural and artistic tradition within which the women designed and created their quilts. Although none of the quilts were made during the era of slavery in America, several of the quilters represented were born into slavery and others descended from enslaved families. Each quilt maker used the humble materials of fabric and thread to create a bedcover that was warm and practical as well as brilliant in color and artistry.
Opens January 30, 2016 in the Foster and Muriel McCarl Gallery.
American Ship Paintings
This exhibition of 5 paintings from the Folk Art collection highlights the popularity of ship portraits. In the mid-19th century, ship captains and owners commissioned artists to depict their sea-going vessels in all their glory. Included in the exhibit are 3 large paintings by James Bard, one of which depicts the schooner yacht America, the first winner of the trophy now known as the America's cup. Steamboats plied the rivers of 19th-century America and are represented in the exhibit in two paintings, one of which is over 6 feet long, giving an impressive, detailed view of the side-wheeler. Each portrait depicts a specific ship with a story to tell.
Opening May 23, 2015
Thunderbirds: Jewelry of the Santo Domingo Pueblo
Santo Domingo Pueblo in New Mexico has the longest jewelry-making tradition of any of the Southwest pueblos. It stretches back centuries. During the 20th century, however, they created a fascinating type of jewelry that until now has received little attention. Sometimes called Depression jewelry, or, as the makers themselves referred to it, thunderbird jewelry, it is a true expression of folk art. Economic conditions and rise of tourism in the 1930s led to the modification and creation of jewelry made from non-traditional materials like car batteries and the use of the thunderbird motif. On display will be over 100 examples of the necklaces and earrings that were produced in the first half of the 20th century. The exhibit will also explore the technique used to make the jewelry and the families who created the pieces. This loan exhibition is organized by guest curators Roddy and Sally Moore of the Blue Ridge Institute at Ferrum College, Ferrum, Virginia.
Through Monday, September 5, 2016, in the David and Mary Peebles Gallery
The World Made Small
Dollhouses are some of the most popular miniature versions of the real world. On view in the Wilkinson Gallery is a museum favorite — the enormous Long island Dollhouse made around 1900 and fully furnished. The earliest dollhouse in the exhibit was made in 1820 for twin girls. Other houses include a house made in the Chesapeake around 1835 and a colonial revival house made around 1940. While young girls played house, what about the young boys? Wonderful German-made playsets from the 19th century will be featured including a fort, a soldiers' campsite and a farm.
Through January 3, 2017 in the Rachel Elisabeth and Joshua Ryan Wilkinson Gallery
A Celebration of Quilts
Take in this new exhibition that features twelve quilts that represent the diversity of quilts made in American from the 18th through 20th centuries. Several of the quilts are new to the collection and have never before been seen by the public. Exhibited quilts include a variety of techniques, from whole cloth to appliqué and piecing. They represent makers from many regions and ethnic groups, including Anglo-Americans, African-Americans, Hawaiians, and Amish.
Through January 3, 2016 in the Foster and Muriel McCarl Gallery
Sidewalks to Rooftops: Outdoor Folk Art
This exhibit in the Leslie Anne Miller and Richard B. Worley Gallery examines signboards, storefront figures, weather vanes, marine carvings, whirligigs, carousel animals, and other pieces originally intended for use outdoors. These 19th- and 20th-century works survived the elements and bear witness to the creative spirit that once enlivened the American landscape.
This exhibition was made possible by a gift from Barry M. Boone in loving memory of his wife, Linda.
Ongoing exhibition
Down on the Farm
This popular exhibition in the Penelope P. and Dr. Sergio V. Proserpi Gallery follows the story of Prince, a carved wooden dog, as he explores the countryside and meets up with animals in paintings, sculptures, and toys. Read rhyming text that tells of his adventures as he encounters weather vane roosters, carved ducks, and wooden horses.
Ongoing exhibition
Conserving the Carolina Room
This exhibition in the Rex and Pat Lucke Gallery highlights the current research on and conservation of an 1836 painted room acquired by the museum in the 1950s. Each board, wainscot and door has been investigated and treated to bring it closer to the original appearance.
The conservation of the Carolina Room was made possible by Mr. and Mrs. Rex A. Lucke of Elkhorn, Nebraska, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional conservation support is provided by the Mildred and J.B. Hickman Conservation Endowment and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Endowed Conservation Fund.
Ongoing exhibition
Cross Rhythms: Folk Musical Instruments
This exhibition in the Elizabeth M. and Joseph M. Handley Gallery features banjos, fiddles, and dulcimers from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Highlights include a piano built into a chest of drawers and a record-playing hippocerous.
Ongoing exhibition

If you're still reeling from Lane's suicide on the penultimate episode of Mad Men's fifth season, don't worry: The actors are too.
Mad Men's Jared Harris discuss Lane's big twist
Was Mad Men's tragedy not as shocking as it could have been?
Mad Men: What's the cost of doing business?
How much of Pete's desire to land Jaguar is driven by the idea of escaping his home life? He's obviously miserable in the suburbs.
Kartheiser: We need to feel wanted and loved. I think we all have a desire for a sense of magic and spontaneity in our lives. This season Pete's been searching for a woman to give that to him. But I don't know how connected that is to his ambition because the ambition has stayed pretty consistent even when he was happy with Trudy [Alison Brie].
But the other women Pete's sleeping with aren't necessarily improving his life.
Kartheiser: He's got to be wanted. He needs more, and he needs something new and fresh. He's looking for something to fulfill that part of his life. ... He's looking for someone to look at him and say, "You're amazing, you really are my king." He needs that outlet. He needs to feel needed.
Don's line in the pitch to Dow Chemical — "Happiness is a moment before you need more happiness" — seems to sum Pete up pretty well.
Kartheiser: Right. That's part of the reason he's also looking for things outside of his marriage and outside of his work. He's being sent skis by these companies he doesn't even represent, and people are talking about him like he's a great account man. But ultimately, it doesn't fulfill him. That feeling he's been chasing, that recognition — well, now he gets a little, and it's not enough. He wants the wife, he wants the kids, he wants to make her happy. And then he has it, and he's like, "Well, that's not enough."
Mad Men surprise: Hey, look! It's Rory Gilmore!
Do you think that will ever change for Pete?
Kartheiser: It's not going to go away because even though you know that it's not going to make you fulfilled, you don't want to lose it. There is a double-edged sword to it. You start to realize you're doomed to an ambitious life that [always] leads to yet another mountain to climb.
So, given all that, where is Pete's head at in the finale?
Kartheiser: Pete's flustered. I think at this point, he's shaken by what's happened with Lane. He's confident, but only business-wise. The Jaguar account is a good thing, but other than that, things haven't been so smooth sailing for Pete this season. So I wouldn't suspect he's going to be in more of a stable place then he has been.
The episode description says Pete meets an interesting stranger on the train. Any hints?
Kartheiser: We have a lot of guest stars this year, and there's another great one coming up.
Have Mad Men fans seen the last of Elisabeth Moss' Peggy?
So, it's not someone we've met before?
Kartheiser: I can't say. All I know is that there's a lot of great guest stars this year. I really can't say.
Finally, given Pete and Peggy's history, might we eventually see how Pete feels about Peggy leaving the agency?
Kartheiser: You'll have to watch and find out. [Laughs] You know me, I'm on lockdown.
Mad Men's Season 5 finale airs Sunday at 10/9c on AMC.

Making schools safe depends on more than gun control
Peter DiAngelis, Watertown
President Obama and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy were eloquent in their response to the Dec. 14 Newtown massacre. But what they will accomplish going forward is questionable. Here are some suggestions for what should be done.
Replace school entryways with breakproof/bulletproof glass so potential perpetrators cannot break in easily, and limit entryways to one.
Assign armed police officers to all school entryways.
Station well-trained, armed individuals in the entry office area to ensure they can "take down" a potential problem entrant. I know this point is very controversial, but the step is a necessary one.
These and many more preventive measures are basic and should have been in place years ago. Unfortunately, they are not yet instilled in our system.
The Newtown tragedy did not occur due because of a lack of gun control.
Forget the costs of implementing the above preventive measures. If Connecticut can afford a multimillion-dollar Busway to Nowhere, we should be able to afford to protect our citizenry, especially our children.
What we do not need is a president, a governor and legislators telling us how sorry they are for our loss.
The tragedy occurred mostly because our active interest in protecting our children and our society, has been forgotten, and in its place, we have officials taking care of themselves.
We pay for guards at banks. Why don't we pay for guards at schools?
Gov. Malloy has signed legislation banning future capital-punishment prosecutions, and allowing some violent felons out of prison early.
But the crimes and horrendous acts continue, and they will continue to escalate until we (the people) get up and do something about it.
Doing something means contacting your representatives and telling them, very clearly, that they will lose your vote come election time if they sit still and do nothing to prevent future tragedies like this and continually blame a lack of "gun control" for our problems.

GORGEOUS POSE! What a beautiful stretched body
She's gorgeous <333
I always think poses like this look like theyre smelling their armpits...
Dear lord O_O
You really do make those fantastic bodies
Sexy thing!
you really should credit mjranum for the reference though, naughty
pretty one here ! good job
Aw, the colors look so cool. I don't so much like the band-like things around the tail, they look just a bit too colorful for this piece. Also, the dark color in her left eye almost give her a cross-eyed look, but if her character is so, then there's not much that can be done. Either way, still an amazing piece.
Oooh gorgeous! nice job!
>*^*}> so awesome.. <3
- wanna touch it - ee
- wanna touch it - ee
good work on the anatomy (:
We done and sexy.
dem ears though...
This is AWESOME *D*
This is so beautiful, I love how she turned out.
I love Lexi's OCs, they're all put together so perfectly. xD
How much is something like this, but no bg? P:

Organic catalysts are a breakthrough in the quest for inexpensive and efficient materials for environmentally friendly production of energy in fuel cells. A new study by physicists at Umeå University in Sweden, published in ACS Nano, provides better knowledge about key processes in producing these catalysts.
The world's needs for energy and raw materials are constantly growing, and the search for readily accessible and inexpensive material for energy applications is driving research teams all around the world. Fuel cells based on hydrogen and oxygen, for example, can convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy in an environmentally friendly way, as the byproduct is simply water. For this conversion to occur efficiently, the electrodes in the fuel cells contain various forms of catalysts.
A major problem with these catalysts is that they are currently being made of alloys of platinum, ruthenium, and other noble metals. These noble metals are not only extremely expensive but also rare and difficult to extract. The pressure to find other more readily available catalysts is therefore very strong, and hence a report in Science about three years ago that an all-organic catalyst based on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes could catalyze the splitting of oxygen just as effectively as platinum, evidently drew a great deal of attention.
Since then research in this field has been intensive, but yet many questions remain regarding the mechanism and efficiency of catalytic processes that occur at the defects where nitrogen atoms have replaced carbon atoms in the carbon nanotubes. A normal "ideal" carbon nanotube consists entirely of carbon atoms, but in practice most materials have defects. For example, it may be that an atom is missing at a site where it normally should be found, or that a carbon atom has been replaced by a foreign atom.
"In our case we deliberately created defects in the carbon nanotubes by replacing some of the carbon atoms with nitrogen atoms. We did this to create local centers around these defects that have an increased electron density. The increase in electron density leads to the desired catalytic properties," says Thomas Wågberg, associate professor at the Department of Physics.
The study shows that the catalytic effect is much larger around certain types of nitrogen defects than around other types.
"We also show that it's possible to use simple heat treatment to convert inefficient nitrogen defects into highly efficient defects," says Thomas Wågberg.
Similar materials that the research group is studying also show great potential to catalyze other processes, such as the reverse process of splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen, which is referred to as artificial photosynthesis.
Behind the study is a research team at the Department of Physics, directed by Associate Professor Thomas Wågberg and including Tiva Sharifi, Dr. Guangzhi Hu, and Dr. Xueen Jia, with funding from, among others, the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, the Swedish Research Council, ÅForsk (Ångpanneföreningen's Foundation for Research and Development), and the Kempe Foundation.

Brad Nicholson writes history, which is kind of like a book report [NVGR]
While I was digging through my files today I found a historiographic essay I wrote early in my academic career. It was one of my flashier works as a historian. Notice the liberty I took with the introduction. At the time, my professors thought I was insane. Now, they see the method to my madness. Anyway, I thought it would be cute to present you with a short chronology of the way the history of Abraham Lincoln was written by a once freshman: (Note, the footnote indications probably don't work)
[Edit: Damn, this is totally a draft. I found the other one. It's not much different though, just much cleaner and better transitions. As I had fixed in the final, it's Joshua Speed who was rumored to be Lincoln's best friend. Not John.]
"Come in the room, Abraham. It�s too damn cold out there in the storeroom. The brazier is blazing in here." called John Speed while lying comfortably in his duck-feathered bed.
The fire licked the top of the masonry bricks, illuminating the room intermittently as the gas in the wood released with sudden crackles and pops. It was a cold night in Springfield, Illinois in his father's shop. Thankfully, he possessed the makings of a real room. Most in the trader town had shanties and less space in their entire house than his apartment. He was a lucky and warm man.
Abraham was staring at the ceiling with his arms crossed behind his head. The floor was hard and uncomfortable. The young Abraham Lincoln, who would eventually be the sixteenth president of the United States of America, could only ponder one thing thus far this night � and that was how bad his back hurt. His long frame was not suited for planks, he decided in that instant, as he gathered up his blanket and started moving toward Speed�s room. "You are right, Jonathon" Lincoln said in his Midwestern draw, "I'm coming in there to enjoy your fire."
Jonathon sat up in bed, his heart suddenly pounding, blood coursing through his ears. "What the hell is wrong with me," he thinks as his breath catches in his throat. He hears Lincoln�s footsteps closer to the door. "You�ll need to take your shoes off if you�re coming in here, Lincoln. I don't want any of that dirt from the road messing up my room."
"Your roof, your rule, Mr. Speed," says Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln took long strides across the bedroom to the best place to remove his boots from his weary feet, the bed. As he sat down, he caught Jonathon staring at him fiercely. Lincoln turned his head quickly away and removed one boot. Out of the corner of his eye he still noticed the glare. With one boot in hand, and a strong, firm hand on his knee, Lincoln said, "You can�t tell anyone about this. It never happened."
Jonathon placed his hand over Lincoln's and said, "Abraham, I don�t know what to do � I can�t quit you."
�Mr. Lincoln, you are the most conscientious man I ever saw, � said the prostitute when Abraham Lincoln neglected her services because he was short two dollars. The prostitute in Springfield was willing to credit Lincoln the two dollars, but the man who later became known as �Honest Abe� did not want to take the chance that he would not honor his word.
Despite his seedy beginnings, Abraham Lincoln grew up to become the sixteenth president of the United States. (1861) His early years were marked with economic strife as his family migrated from farm to farm in both Illinois and Indiana. When asked about his early life by a campaign journalist, Lincoln simply replied, �it is a great piece of folly to attempt to make anything out of me or my early life�it can all be condensed into a simple sentence��the short and simple annals of the poor. ��
Eventually, Abraham Lincoln hit his stride as a lawyer and began seeking political positions. As president, he led the Union during the American Civil War, and signed the Emancipation Proclamation (1863), freeing all slaves in the United States. In 1865, John Wilkes Booth shot him in the back of the head, ending his life while still in his second term as president.
Abraham Lincoln is nothing less than an American iconic figure, and has been covered profusely by American historians. Abraham Lincoln left a horde of information after his passing, including personal letters that has led to numerous interpretations of both his personal and political life. Historians have taken many different historical stances on Lincoln since his death in their attempts to define the man and his life. The main interpretations this essay will focus on are from around the last one hundred years of history writing about Lincoln. The history topics covered are consensus, progressive, psychological, and sociological history.
In 1893, John T. Morse wrote a two volume biography on Abraham Lincoln entitled Abraham Lincoln. In Abraham Lincoln, Morse focuses mainly on Lincoln�s childhood and humble beginnings. He narrates the abysmal surroundings that Lincoln lived in and tries to relate that to his thought patterns. It was written in a consensus style, as Morse does not elaborate on the flaws of Lincoln, nor his political failings. It glorifies his conscientious views of how slaves were treated, his relationship with cabinet members, and his attitude.
Six years after Morse�s biographical record, Norman Hapgood wrote another, albeit smaller, biography on Lincoln entitled again, Abraham Lincoln. A bit ahead of its time, but still consensus, Hapgood�s biography was an attempt to capture the �personality� of Lincoln opposed to telling the drama of his entire life. Hapgood spends the majority of his story-telling dictating Lincoln�s life as a lawyer. He focuses on the decision-making practices and apparently never says a cross word about it.
A female historian, Rose Strunksy, tried to tackle Abraham Lincoln in 1914 with her biography of Lincoln aptly named Abraham Lincoln. She states at the beginning of her biography that she has �not tried to find an unopened letter of an unpublished anecdote.� Strunksy, through her own admittance, is attempting to nail down a �new historical perspective� on Abraham Lincoln�s life. In the end, while she may have tried to convey a female perspective on Lincoln�s life, she failed to gain acceptance with her peers because of her numerous citation errors.
In 1926, a more progressive biography of Abraham Lincoln appeared. Abraham Lincoln The Prairie Years by Carl Sandburg was written with the idea that by elaborating and exploring Lincoln�s early life, one could perhaps glean the decisions and personality of Lincoln as an American president. The Prairie Years is a narrative-driven story of Lincoln as a boy and the relationships that he develops. The most compelling aspect of the book that is revisited and hotly debated by future historians is the quote in which Sandburg relates Lincoln�s relationship to Joshua Speed, �[Speed has] a streak of lavender, and spots soft as May violets.� Sandburg additionally mentions several times throughout the work that Speed and Lincoln slept in the same room. Although interesting for its time, it was also seen as a work without real merit. American historians saw many errors and made sure to make that plain.
In 1952, Benjamin P. Thomas, another progressive historian, tried his hand at Abraham Lincoln with his book entitled, Abraham Lincoln: A Biography. Unlike Sandburg, Thomas attempted to write a biography that stretched Lincoln�s entire life. Thomas promoted Abraham Lincoln and his ideals, but also illuminated some of the failures in Lincoln�s life. Also, the men who presented conflict in Lincoln�s life were not portrayed as evil men. Overall, Thomas wrote a biography that presents Lincoln as a flawed, but still glorious man.
Since World War II, historians have sought differing accounts of history via other sciences. In 1980, George Forgie wrote Patricide in the House Divided: A Psychological Interpretation of Lincoln and His Age. Unlike the historians of the past, Forgie sought to find a psychological reason for Lincoln�s decisions during the Civil War. Forgie maintains that Lincoln suffered from an Oedipus complex and only found solace in George Washington. Yet, he was jealous of that immortality and therefore tried to capture for himself, which may explain why he decided to sign the Emancipation Proclamation. Also, Forgie insists the reason why Lincoln became so embattled during the Civil War was because his complex disrupted his psyche. He wanted the Civil War to end in order to metaphorically end the war in his head. This kind of rhetoric is typical for a psychological approach, and although odd, adds a new dimension to the Lincoln character.
Another psychological evaluation of Lincoln was presented with Charles B. Strozier�s Lincoln�s Quest for Union: Public and Private Meanings. Strozier evaluates Lincoln based on Heinz Kohut�s theory of maturing self. Strozier focuses on Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln�s affection for her. He surmises that Lincoln was depressed because of her untimely passing, which may have shaped his mentality as an individual more than his political experience. Eventually, Strozier delves into what composed Lincoln�s ego and his sense of commonality with the citizen. According to Strozier, Lincoln�s ability to associate himself with the people is what may have led his thinking on the several social issues he dealt with. Overall, Strozier�s book supports what psychologists try to do when they write history: psychoanalyze.
In the 1990s, the sociological perspective began to invade the history scene. In 1991, Barry Schwartz wrote an article titled Iconography and Collective Memory: Lincoln�s Image in the American Mind in an attempt to frame Lincoln within a pre-World War I group mentality. He ascertains that there was a struggle between the agents of history writing in terms of the glorification of Lincoln�s character, and ultimately it was the consumers of history that decided the debate because of readiness to both promote and reject different notions of Abraham Lincoln. The author goes so far as to say that new information, or analysis of Lincoln that is radically different, cannot come to fruition due to this mentality or �structure-centered conception� of older, collective notions of Lincoln.
In 1994, Merril D. Peterson wrote a book entitled Lincoln in American Memory, which takes a different approach to what Scwartz tried to convey in his book. Peterson finds five essential themes in the history of Lincoln that �remain central to Americans� conception of themselves,� and he then explores those themes to explain how Americans admire and remember Abraham Lincoln. In his analysis of these themes Peterson also provides insight into the way Lincoln�s image is utilized within that construct. Essentially, he argues that the iconic stature of Lincoln is so embedded in the American consciousness that anyone who mentions it (particularly public speakers) can utilize the symbol of Lincoln as a tool to promote national pride and humanism. Peterson also tries to tackle the historiography of Lincoln in terms of the group mentality as well.
Abraham Lincoln is still an iconic figure in American history. The wealth of knowledge and published materials about him have allowed historians to write amazing amounts about his life and untimely death. Initially there was an emphasis on the glorification of Lincoln with little narrative quality. This allowed early consensus authors breathing room so fresh after his death. Later, progressive authors tried to define Lincoln as a man with actual problems and frailties. Much later, psychologists went further, trying to get inside Lincoln�s thoughts and explain his behaviors. Eventually, sociologists tackled the perspective that readers have of Lincoln and the reasons he is remembered in glowing terms. The story of Abraham Lincoln is far from being told completely, and as time and focus changes, so will the history.

Picture: Quentin Tarantino 2007 Cannes Film Festival Day 7 - 'Death Proof' - Photocall Cannes, France - 22.05.07
Movie maker Quentin Tarantino is planning to unite his Pulp Fiction, JACKIE BROWN and RESERVOIR DOGS stars for a new airplane disaster movie.
The cult director admits the idea is a joke between him and SAMUEL L JACKSON at the moment, but he can see it taking shape.
He says, "(JOHN) TRAVOLTA could be the pilot, Pam Grier the stewardess, Robert Forster, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel, Bridget Fonda. It'd be AIRPORT 2005."
Tarantino also has plans to make an all-out sex movie.
He adds, "I'd really like to do a kick-a** sexploitation flick. There's usually not much sex in my movies, because I'm too much of a gentleman to ask an actress to take her top off.
"But if I were to write a real sex film, the actresses would have to be down with it. Like those great trampy actresses from Italy and Germany in the 70s who were just like, 'Roll the camera, motherf**ker, here we go.' That'd be so great."04/11/2003 09:18

Best way to refresh a draft?
Hello all,
Figured there's some draft owners out there that have been where I'm at. I just adopted a Percheron mare named Arabelle, she's gorgeous. She has previous riding and driving experience. I've seen pictures of her being ridden and driven. Although, she has sat the last four years and has become very pushy and nervous when walked around. The biggest problem being she likes to randomly decided she gets to walk me. I immediately stop her and have her back a few steps then release the pressure. Don't know if there's a better way to correct this? I have started flexing her, teaching her to yield to pressure and have worked the sending exercise to. I am very anciy to get on her, but I know she has to be good on the ground before I can do so. What are some exercises you all use or any tips and tricks you have for me to help her!
The one and only...
She doesn't need any special treatment or training techniques because she's a draft. The same rules should apply to her as the lighter breeds. It will take time, patience, and consitency, but she will be fine if you don't get intimidated by her size and pushy attitude. I don't treat my belgians any different that my quarter horses. They all know what is expected of them, regardless of breed. As for her riding and driving refreshment, if you've never driven before, find a driving mentor who is experienced. The riding part is the same as refreshing a light breed as well, just be prepared that if she was trained to drive before ride, she MIGHT be a little hard on the mouth, but this isn't always the case, she may be very supple and soft.
treat a draft like a horses but feed a draft like a draft
I'll be honest...when I saw the title of your thread, I thought "Ask the bartender for a fresh glass!" Yeah, I'm a dork. :-P
Like the others said: don't treat her any different than you would a regular-sized horse.
that would be a cool drink the draft horse
Sorry, couldn't resist. :lol:
Barkeep, pour me a double draft horse! Put it on loveduffy's tab.
Here's a draft refreshing himself....
I'm so sorry...I just couldn't resist.
That big gorgeous horse needs to be a vaulting horse.
Now that I think of it..it puts a new meaning of DRAFT beer!!
You guys have me laughing so hard and it's midnight! Someone's going to think I've been slamming back drafts all night. ;) Thanks again for the pointers, love the turn of this thread. Lol. (:

Im indifferent on this. As a conditioner--yes its great! It doesn't weigh my hair down & leaves no grease/residue behind, even though it is a leave in. It gives great texture to hair while its in (kind of like day 2 hair, just after a wash) & leaves it soft after rinsing it out. But as a repair treatment, that its being marketed as-I don't know if its restored any bio-ceramide complex. It claims to improve hair strength after one use? I couldn't tell a difference. I continue to have breakage/hair loss/brittle ends after a month use. It does have a scent that I noticed is coconut like on washed hair but liquor like on dirty (2 day+ hair), but does disappear after 10 mins.I bought this 3.4 oz pump at Walgreens for $9 & have been using it bi-weekly (3-4 pumps for my mid back hair). I plan on finishing it but don't know if I'll repurchase.

my overnight hair treatment regime, is a rotation between #moroccan oil serum, #jojoba oil, and this. im also using the whole range of EverStrong, on my fine straight hair. This smells wonderful, and gives me 'well-rested' hair upon waking up in the morning. It improves the texture over time. It's not a product i can't live without, but it's definitely nice to have it on.

This is a fantastic product. I'm really shocked by the difference it has made in my hair.
I have long, very dry, wavy/curly hair that is very prone to breakage. I'm so prone to split ends that my hair has to have a good dusting every 5 weeks or it looks quite rough.
After a week of using it as an overnight treatment, my ends are smooth and appear damage free. At this rate I can probably get away without a cut for the next month or two. I apply two pumps every night before bed to the last three inches of my hair. This treatment absorbs incredibly well and feels very lightweight.
I've now started using it as a leave in conditioner as part of my styling routine instead of using it as an overnight treatment. I wash my hair every other day and I use this treatment as a leave in conditioner after towel drying. I use one pump and distribute it throughout my hair from root to tip concentrating on the ends. I then go through and scrunch and twist sections of my hair to define the curls. The result is full, defined, and frizz free curls.
Very pleased with this product and will definitely repurchase!

This conditioner is great! I, personally, LOVE the way it smells, and apparently so does my husband :) It is immediately absorbed into your hair - even those who absolutely DREAD humidity - You can put this on dry hair and it won't frizz!!! I don't use it the way its described because I wash my hair every 3 days or so. (It's very coarse, dry, curly, and damaged) I use this other ways though: One, as a leave in conditioner, I'll put it in my hair when it is still damp from the shower, and style as usual. Another way I'll use it is if I straighten my hair, I'll generally have just a little bit of frizzies or flyaways when I'm done attacking it with heat- so my hair usually looks 10x better on the second day, after my natural oils have been absorbed. Well with this, I'll put it in the ends and lower half of my hair, after my hair is totally dry, straightened, styled, and it gives me that second-day hair shine and manageability. It leaves my hair totally soft and smelling amazing. If you have coarse hair and don't shampoo every day like me, you can put it in your hair on the second or third day and it just kinda refreshes your hair without weighing it down. The only thing I feel after adding this is softness, NEVER any weight or filmy residue. It really is a great product. I usually use about 2 half-pumps for the ends and lower half of my hair. I think it's been great for helping me grow my hair out long. I'm going to continue using this and when I run out I'm definitely buying more. The packaging is great too, very neat, not messy AT ALL, and you can totally control how much you want it to dispense. HG product for sure!

I looked at myself in the mirror tonight before I went to bed and thought, Wow, my hair looks really good and I haven't washed it in 2 days. It's wavy and shiny but not frizzy and then it hit me! It must be the Everstrong!
I live in south FL and it's hot all the time and since I have to be outside a lot, my hair takes a beating so I was looking for some kind of treatment when I was in Walmart. I had never heard of this but I'm so happy I decided to give it a try.
I love the pump, the smell and most of all, what it does for my hair.
Even though my hair is only chin length and fine, I use 2 pumps and within a minute or 2 it's all absorbed. I thought my "It's a 10" products were the best, but I must say, I like this better!

My hair just drinks this stuff. I adore the smell, especially when I am getting ready for bed. When I use it...my hair is so super soft and manageable in the morning.

Really good product. I bought this along with the new L'Oreal Total 5 overnight one, and I ended up taking it back. This one delivered! I put it on when I get home from work because this doesn't make you look like you have a treatment on your hair - it makes you hair look good instantly so you could use it for styling and going out. It instantly smooths, defines, moisturizes, without weighing hair down. And in the morning it rinses out silky smooth. Also it smells really good. The Total 5 (or whatever it is called) smelled like fish oil - ew.

I love this stuff. Have repurchased several times. Works great to repair and protect my long fine hair. After I put it in my damp hair it is easy to comb through with a wide tooth comb and when it dries it is soft. not heavy or greasy. no strong smell.

Love the smell, packaging and texture! My hair feel soft, silky, not over conditioned and smells wonderfull. Helpes scalp dryness! Product equals professional quality hair care. Loving it! And will deffinetly recommend to others and will surely buy it again!

Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's Talks Ice Cream, Stamps, and Sustainability
More than 30 years ago,Ben Cohen
enriched the palate of folks everywhere when he and long-time friend and partner, Jerry Greenfield, opened an ice cream parlor in Vermont. Ben & Jerry's frosty desserts have melted in mouths across the world, and the company is arguably the best loved ice cream maker on the planet.
Last night, the man responsible for so many eaten feelings joined viewers at Miami Beach Cinematheque for a screening of Ingredients and Q&A session with audience members in hopes of continuing to enrich lives, this time not with ice cream, but stamps and awareness.
The screening of the award-winning documentary, directed by Robert Bates, was part of the Cinematheque's Cinema Green Series in collaboration with Environmental Coalition of Miami and the Beaches. It was the first time Cohen would see the film, but definitely not the first time he'd heard of its subject matter. Since selling his company to Unilever in 2000, he's made the jump from ice cream CEO to activist/philanthropist/one super-pissed-off-at-the-government dude.
Cohen and ECOMB committee
"I was working on a campaign to shift national budget priorities out of the Pentagon and into education and healthcare and housing and poverty programs, and that was really hard. A lot harder than selling ice cream. It doesn't taste as good as ice cream; it's not as fun as ice cream; and going up against the Pentagon is tough. They're really big and they have a lot of heavy duty weapons and they have a lot of money, so compared to that, this campaign about getting money out of politics is incredibly popular. It's just about as popular as ice cream, really," Cohen told New Times about his major life-change.
The campaign he is specifically referring to is his latest project, Stamp Stampede, which kicked off its national tour right here in Miami. The initiative's mission is to pass a constitutional amendment to "get money out of politics" and Cohen is doing it one dollar bill at a time.
With a mode of transport too whimsical to ignore and the assistance of Aaron Rubin, who will be driving the Stamp-O-Matic Stamp Mobile across the country, Cohen is leaving a trail of ink on every willing dollar.
"The system is referred to by a lot of people as legalized bribery, and it is...The amendment we're supporting says corporations are not people and money is not speech...So many environmental organizations and organizations interested in other issues as well, like the NAACP and the Sierra Club, are all starting to realize they're never going to really make any headway on the issues they're concerned about until we get money out of politics," Cohen said.
The Stamp Mobile is a 12-foot-high, 14-foot-long, 6-foot-wide, carnival spectacle where anyone can stick a buck in the slot and watch it go through the conveyor 'til it comes out the other side freshly stamped. Cohen's machine makes Willy Wonka look like a bitch.
Cohen explained that each dollar bill lasts about five years, and if you get it in the middle of that life span and it gets passed around at least once a day, it gets seen about 800 times before it's retired. "If you stamp 10 bills, that's 8,000 people; if you do that for 10 days, that must be 80,000 people; if you do it for 100 days, that's 800,000 people and it really makes your voice powerful. And I like the idea of it being economic Jiu Jitsu--it's using money to get money out of politics," Cohen said.
In his home town of Bulington, Vermont, people are supporting the cause with coffee shops and bars setting up stamping stations. Returning to the idea of locally grown and produced goods is a huge part of the rising trend in sustainability and environmental awareness, something Cohen has supported since Ben & Jerry's inception. "When I was there, one of the founding principles of the company was to provide a market for Vermont dairy farmers, to help keep [them] in business. That's really in terms what this film is about tonight; a lot of it is about local sourcing," he said.
Ben & Jerry's was one of the first companies to actively take a stance against genetically modified foods and bovine growth hormones when they first came out. "We ended up having to sue the federal government for the right to tell people what was not in our ice cream, essentially because Monsanto, the corporation that was producing bovine growth hormone, used its money and political muscle...We were successful in suing," Cohen said.
Cohen's chat with New Times became more of a public forum as the discussion among ECOMB members and attendees opened up at the table before everyone was called inside for the screening. "Cinema Green, this is a great opportunity to provide an A-ha! moment to the community...Entertainment, edutainment, is really a great way to get people to connect with the truth," said Gabriole Van Bryce, ECOMB board member.
Viewers took their seats as ECOMB's executive director, Luiz Rodriguez, and program manager, Miguel Pena, took the floor to discuss the non-profit's latest initiatives on recycling, sustainability, and Community Supported Agriculture programs; they also introduced Cohen before the lights went off and viewing began. The film took a personal look at what's going on and what must be addressed in a world in need of balance, health, and a more sustainable model for living and eating well. After the viewing, ECOMB and Cohen engaged in an open discussion with the audience on topics such as food contamination, livestock, raising awareness, passing on social responsibility, and getting to know the farmers behind the product.
Afterward, Cohen led guests outside to the Stamp Mobile where a frenzied crowd gathered for the spectacle and passed up dollar bills to Cohen for inking and redistribution. A limited amount of stamps were also on sale for the evening; they can also be purchased on the Stamp Stampede website.
"It's been an interesting evolution for me from ice cream, to political activism, to getting money out of politics and the issue of our food supply and local food," Cohen said.
The care and energy that went into making Ben & Jerry's the empire that it is today, is now completely redirected in Cohen's activism. He is driven, positive, and more approachable than most would believe for being a multi-millionaire. A simple man with a complex mission, he is taking his cause around the country. Cohen will also join Crosby, Stills and Nash for their tour in May to get the word out, but Miami got to see it first.

Thunderbutt head by FriesianFuryWatch

Sculpted by Kitty Cantrell and customized and painted by me. You will see the rest of his body at a later date when the weather is more nice. I do have photos of him on my FB page as well www.facebook.com/media/set/?se…
My mom keeps saying pastels rub off, what kind do you have? They're perfect...
They would only rub off if not sealed. My work is sealing in many layers of sealer and last coat is sealed with dulcoat if its needed. It has to be sealed in layers cause I paint in layers. I use earth pigments for my work
I just love the style of this ones face,
reminds me of those really old renaissance painted horses.
reminds me of those really old renaissance painted horses.
This is wonderful! I've always wanted to customize a Breyer, and I have one started, but I don't think I properly primed it with gesso. You are so talented!
I dont use gesso to primer my horses. I use Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch primer. You might have better luck with that primer
He's gorgeous! Super paint job--that color works really well with him. He has a lovely Roman nose too.
Thunderbutt? xD
lol it was a running joke going on www.modelhorseblab.com and the sculptor thought it was funny and ended up naming him that XD
Omg. That eye.

Big East Media Day Notebook
Big East Media Day Photo Gallery | Competition drives WVU's White, Slaton
Rutgers top assistant football coach Chris Demarest was charged with assault after an altercation in a bar at the Jersey shore.
Demarest was arrested early Saturday, Sgt. Mike McGlennon said Tuesday.
The name of the alleged victim has not been released, but McGlennon confirmed published reports that it was a woman who was in a relationship with Demarest.
The 42-year-old Demarest is free on bail of $2,500. He'll be required to appear in municipal court, but a date had not been set, McGlennon said.
Demarest has been the defensive secondary coach at Rutgers for three years. In March, he was promoted to assistant head coach. Before coming to Rutgers, he was defensive backs coach at North Carolina State from 2000-2003 and a graduate assistant at Florida State from 1998-99.
Demarest did not return a phone message left at his office Tuesday.
Head coach Greg Schiano was asked about the incident at Big East Media Day.
"I am still in the process of gathering information, I just heard about it recently, when I do I will (address it)," Schiano said.
Kelly takes shot at Cincinnati media
Bearcats coach Brian Kelly was disappointed by the absence of Cincinnati media outlets at the event.
Kelly used the gathering as a sounding board for his frustration. He regularly thanked other news outlets for coming over to talk to him, for giving his team coverage and for simply attending the Media Day.
The Bearcats coach went on to say, "I am still going to coach the team and we are still going to compete for a Big East title. But it is sad for the fans of Cincinnati to not have a legitimate, credible local media outlet. Our fans would be better served going to Rivals, Sporting News, or even the Boston Globe because they are credible sources who care enough about their product to be here."
Wannstedt has high praise for freshmen
Pittsburgh coach Dave Wannstedt is quickly building a solid reputation as a recruiter. On Media Day, he was given the opportunity to discuss several of his incoming freshmen.
"Anthony Jackson came in and really impressed me with his speed," Wannstedt said of the 6-foot cornerback from Florida. "After about a week of conditioning he was running consistent 4.3 40s and is probably the fastest guy on our team."
Wannstedt quickly shifted focus to a big, local offensive lineman who caught his eye.
"Chris Jacobson is another guy I have been very impressed with," Wannstedt said. "He may be the most physically mature player we have. He is definitely as physically mature as an incoming lineman can be."
While those are clear physical attributes, having a high football IQ can also increase your likelihood of early playing time.
"Football awareness-wise and intelligence-wise Dom DeCicco will be tough for us to keep off the field. Whether he is at wide receiver or safety, he will see playing time for us."
When asked how many freshman players would be contributors for the Panthers this season, Wannstedt replied, "Seven guys will play for us right away."
Leavitt not buying a Ford, yet
When South Florida coach Jim Leavitt was able to land former Rivals.com 5-star running back Mike Ford, the obvious thought was that Ford would be a complementary player to quarterback Matt Grothe. However, the man who started the USF football program is still not sold on Ford.
"Mike has looked good on the practice field, but that's it. I am not going to give him too many accolades because he hasn't done it yet. How good is he, I don't know. I will by the end of the season, but right now he has not done anything yet."
Pacman Fever
Former West Virginia players Chris Henry and Adam "Pacman" Jones have experienced problems off the field since leaving Morgantown. WVU coach Rich Rodriguez addressed Jones' situation.
"We had him for three years. He got in a bar fight his first year, but other than that he was good in the community, a hard worker, did all he had to do. But, you know, you lose contact with him. I haven't talked to him in probably a year and a half, two years. He used to talk to Coach (Tony) Gibson about once a month, but even he hasn't heard from him in a year. It's disappointing. He is really up against it now.
"All of the sudden you have money and freedom and less structure. If you aren't mentally prepared to handle it, bad things happen. I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing that the NFL is taking such a harsh stance on the off the field issues."
Rodriguez added that he does not see any similarities between the personalities of Jones and recent signees Noel Devine and Pat Lazear. Some schools stopped recruiting Devine and Lazear because of off-the-field concerns.

- New London Bus Design
- Posted 53 months ago by Jack Lowe · Art & Design · 57441 Views
Some new images of Thomas Heatherwick's London routemaster bus redesign have come to the surface. The new version of the iconic bus features two staircases and three doors - enabling travellers to once again hop on and off whenever they want!
Apparently the new bus will also be fuel efficient, saving 15% more energy than the existing hybrid buses and 40% more than the conventional diesel versions.
Heatherwick said:"It has been 50 years since a bus was last designed and commissioned specifically for London. This has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a team to look again at the opportunities for a new open-platform bus. It has been an honour to be asked by Londons transport authority to take an integrated approach and design everything that you see and experience from the outside down to the tiniest details of the interior."
Seven of these buses will soon be appearing of the route of bus 38.
- I just don't see the point.. will it make them cheaper or more reliable.. will it get more people using public transport.. The answer is NO. While I can understand the idea behind going electric, especially within a city like London. I cannot and never will understand, the reason for a new design of something that works fine as it is now. It's that old phrase.. If it ain't broke DON'T fix it
