I am very excited about this product. My skin is normal with a tendency for blemishes, oilyness in summer and dryness in the winter. I love this stuff because it does not make my pores look bigger the way light reflecting products do, it does not look heavy or cakey the way foundation can, and it does not look orange, fake or uneven the way bronzers and self-tanners can. It does what you want all that stuff to do, minus the coverage a foundation may provide. It just evens out skin tone while providing some colour and a glow. Some people complained about looking greasy, for me I am able to achieve an healthy glow. It feels natural and mostly I can't even feel it at all, which I like. I can mix this with regular moisturizer, sunscreen, and I love it on my body too. I mix a bit with my favourite body lotion, sunscreen, glitter gel, whatever and boy do I get a wonderful healthy glow on my legs, arms, everything! I also love this stuff because it has saved me from having to buy a whole bunch of products. No need for a tinted moisturizer when I can make my own! Or bronzing gel, or leg gel, or tinted sunscreen...... It's wonderful because you get dual duty out of a product you already love. I highly recomend this!

I LOVE this product. I use it as a blush. I smooth a few drops on my cheeks, forehead and chin and I end up with the most natural flush. I don't usually wear bronzers because it's always kind of unatural looking. But because this gives you a nice shine afterwards, I just look radiant and dewy. Some people said that the shine bothers them but to me it just look like my skin is glowing. I am not crazy about that fake matted look in the middle of the summer heat so I am glad this product leaves a nice shine.

My comments are based on a one-time trial of the product, using the tester at my local Whole Foods. I had purposely worn foundation only so that no blush or other bronzer would influence my opinion of the result.
I stood in front of the WF mirror and blended several drops over my face, neck, and upper chest area. I noticed immediately that it was scented (the box, which I checked later, does say it contains fragrance), and also that the areas I'd rubbed were turning red - not from the product, but from irritation. (The pump bottle is a good idea but not well executed, at least not on this tester, which was clogged and dispensed unpredictable amounts from the same amount of force on the nozzle.)
By the time I'd finished shopping and could check the result in my car mirror, the irritation had subsided. What was left was a slight cocoa color, not at all unpleasant but too dark for my complexion. It was also a bit too oily for my combination skin, so even if the color had been right, I knew this product was not right for me.
Unless you're a Hauschka fan and want to use the whole regimen, I would recommend Bonne Bell's Gel Bronzer in a tube. (The matching powder is also good, if a bit shimmery for day). Dr. Hauschka, being an imported European brand, sells for about $32; you can pick up a tube of Bonne Bell Gel Bronze, which is unscented, oil-free, and non-irritating, for about an eighth of the price - your call!

I purchased this because of all the rave reviews on MUA. Although it is a decent product, I expected more.
I find the texture a little greasy. It hasn't broken me out, but I do find that powder is necessary after to tone down the shine.
Also, this really is just a darker pigment, I don't find that it has any coverage at all.
I guess I was hoping for a great summer staple - just add this to a little moisterizer and go - no powder, no foundation needed. But I find that isn't the case.
Maybe I just need to play around with it a little more - adjust the amount I use or the way I use it. I will update in another week or so.
**Update** I've started adding this to my foundation to add some color to my face in the summer. It does give a nice color - not orange-y at all and better than the powder bronzers that I have tried (Bobbi Brown, Cargo). I still don't think it is a miracle product and the pump on the bottle isn't the greatest, but it is serving it's purpose.

What a beautifull, elegant, wonderfull product. I adore this. I am PPP. I have not been in the sun since I was 19 Yrs. old(now 31)I mix with my Dr.H moisturizer and I het the most awsome glow. Just gives me the look of perfect skin year round.

This product has rescued me from years of walking around with a chalky face thanks to my high spf sunscreens. Manufacturers don't seem to get it that not only pale skins/caucasians need protection, Asians, Afro-Carribbeans , Latins etc.,stc., need it just as much . Finally my slow brain worked out that this was the way to continue with my spf's & still look vaguely natural. It may seem a little expensive-but a bottle will last ages & is not pore clogging-as far as i can see. Today I mixed a teeny amount into my Mene & Moy spf 30 and I look like me, not my washed out doppelganger! This product is sheer genius & even if the spf thing isn't a problem for you it makes a lovely subtle bronzer without scary metallic bits-a no-no for my oily sisters , and is oil free.

I have NO idea what the first reviewer is raving about with flavours because this is a concentrated bronze liquid and I mean CONCENTRATED. I mix it with any moisturiser and it is essentially a tinted moisturiser! I love it and have been using it forever.

This really feels great on and looks fabulous! It kinda stains your skin a light tan color and it shows up on my NC42 tone. I use this with either the moisturizing day cream or the SPF22 and whenever I use it I dont really need anything else on (except my Cle concealer) This is definatley a good thing to try if you want the tinted moisturizer look in a natural product.

I was hesitant to buy this, so I received it in swap...and kicked myself for not trying it sooner! This is a bronzer you can wear alone or blend with moisturizer. I am planning to use it to darken a too-light foundation, too. It has the signature herbal Dr.Hauschka smell and sinks right in. I also have to rave about the packaging. It comes in a glass bottle with an elegant looking 'lock-able' pump. You get a very large amount of product, considering just a drop is needed (unless you are very dark, then you could probably use it as a foundation!).

Best Place for a Group Dinner (2013)
Royal Bangladesh
As you stroll down Curry Lane in the East Village, ignore the menu-wielding men on every brightly painted doorstep, ushering unwitting tourists and neighborhood noobs inside faster than they can say "Naan." Duck instead into Royal Bangladesh, where the low-ceilinged dining room glows red with chile lights. The food is classic Bengali, cheap and spicy; we particularly recommend the chicken tikka musalom, vindaloo curry, bhujia (fried vegetable fritters), and mango ice cream. In warmer seasons, take a group to the backyard, which is festooned with innumerable tiny lights. You'll be subject to an Indian feast, a chef-directed multicourse family-style tasting adventure for under $20. The spot is also BYOB.

Positive - 1) This product leaves my face soft right after use. 2) I love the brand and its values of natural and no animal testing. Negative - 1) Prepare for the sting. It burns like normal salt on open wounds, lips or dry skin. 2) It is very difficult to apply unless you mix it with your normal facial cleanser. It is literally just like salt crystals. When you add water it doesn't make a paste, instead it is just wet salt that goes everywhere other than your face. 3) The packaging is not ideal. Since it is a dry product it needs to be water proof to keep moisture away from the product so it doesn't harden.
I got this sample size and tried it for the past 3 days. I mix a small amount with my facial cleanser and gently massage all over. My face hasn't looked this good in months! Skin feels smooth and soft. Forehead acne totally gone. One of the keys here, folks, is GENTLY massage over skin. When people say it's too harsh, they could be rubbing too hard. I did that the first day and ouch! But wow! What a difference doing it correctly! Give it a try!! I will be purchasing the full size!5
Let me start by saying, this is a wonderful product to add to a favorite soap or body wash in the shower. I love that it doesn't come already scented or with a cleanser already mixed. You can determine your own amount and that's just fabulous. I completely disagree with the use of this product on your face. The salt grains are too harsh and can seriously do some damage to the skin on the face.4

Talk:Stephen Mather
|WikiProject Biography
|(Rated Start-class)
Need Better Photo of Mather[edit]
There must be a better portrait photo of Mather than that poor one. BillShurts (talk) 18:13, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Pronunciation of name?[edit]
Two questions. Did Mather pronounce his name with a long a (as in "pane") or a short a (as in "pan"), or maybe as in "father"? Also, did he use the hard th (as in "bathe") or the soft th (as in "bath")? If someone has a reference, that would be a nice improvement to the article. Oaklandguy (talk) 20:27, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
an answer[edit]
PBS produced The National Parks: America's Best Idea. In two clips, the documentary uses the short "a" and the hard "th", so the name rhymes with "lather". I don't know how to insert pronuncation into articles, and I'm very new at references, so for now, I won't edit the article. If someone else knows how to do it, please do! Oaklandguy (talk) 20:54, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
That Bronze Plaque[edit]
I was just on a hike with my son near Chinook Pass in Washington: Lake Tipsoo. I saw the same plaque as in the photo. So if anyone is interested they could add that location to the page. Also, if anyone is interested I would be happy to upload my photo of the plaque I took today. Thanks, Tom H.

Best Place to See Photography (2009)
Northlight Gallery at Matthews Hall
If you're a camera nerd, you'll heart this to-the-point gallery located at the west end of ASU's main campus. Headed by Liz Allen, a university photography professor and killer shutterbug, the space showcases original photography and, sometimes, video installations that are heavy on student work as well as work produced by ASU alums. Themes are wide-ranging — for example, during the 2008-09 school year, shows focused on cultural convergences and women's issues. Exhibits typically don't run long (anywhere from two weeks to two months), so be sure to saunter your behind over to Tempe to see the killer artworks. The space closes for the summer break.

"Best Bible-based health and healing book"
The Ministry of Healing is a classic book drawing together the best of biblical teaching as it relates to Jesus ministry to the mind and body.
"see it for yourself"
reading sometimes you get sleep and i was searching for audiobook of ellen g white i've found in other site but it is so expensive. when i found this im so happy that there is much cheaper site.Im very happy and i like the voice of the narrator its clear and nice background sound.
"Big changes"
If you want your health back or perhaps you have never had good health and just need directions on where to go. THIS IS YOUR GUIDE. Everything you need to know to be healthy strong and HAPPY
"Law or Grace?"
First the reading of this book is very bad. I was almost put to sleep while driving several times. I also would like to comment on the life style that she suggests here in this book, no meat is not Biblical in anyway except for short diets or Adam and Eve. I would have liked to follow the author around for a year because I know nobody could live up to the standards in this book. This is not a book on healing supernaturally so don't be mislead
by the title.

My Kid's Songs by HuwmanWatch
©2013-2016 Huwman
Your son is very gifted. Whenever I'm sitting in the car with Johann's 5 year old grandson, Gerry, as soon as grandma's gone into a store, Gerry always asks me to play the disk by my friend's son. He thinks I'm letting him be bad by listening to it. It's just a cool bonding moment that Gerry and I share.
Really? That's great. Which disk did I send you? I can't even remember. I hope it was the newer one but, if not, I'll send that to you. Great to hear this, Chris! I will tell my lad.
I recently bought a newer used car, and my nephew took my old Suzuki sidekick to salvage it. Either I left your son's CD in the player, or it's somewhere in my storage area. Hopefully it shows up.
Hey, no problem, Chris. Just let me know if it doesn't reappear and I can easily send you both their CDs any time.
Will let you know. Thank you kindly.
No problem!
I'm back to work on my Dew Drop Inn painting. It's 3x5 feet. I had stopped working on it for a month. Just wasn't satisfied with it. But I managed to figure out the problem areas, and after much scraping and reprimering, it's coming along great. Will post photos as soon as I get a camera. It's taking me awhile to get used to my bachelor life. Seems like all my friends have moved on with their lives. I just hope I don't turn into a hermit again. Hope all is well in your life. Thank you for your friendship.
Hi Chris. I'm sure it's a tough transition but glad to hear your art is coming along again. Everyone is excited to see new work from you! People love the painting of yours we have. I would like to save up and buy a big piece some day but I have a feeling you are going to be very famous soon and far out of my price range - but, hey, that's a good thing! Such great stuff. Let me know if you ever need to talk and if you want my kid's CDs replaced, just say the word and I'll mail 'em off. All the best.
I really like his style. Saskaspoon is really good. He has a really fresh sound.

FILE - In this June 5, 1989, file photo, Michael Chang, of the United States, returns the ball to Ivan Lendl, of former Czechoslovakia, in their fourth-round match of the French Open tennis tournament in Paris. Chang became the youngest male champion at a Grand Slam tournament (a record that still stands) and the first American man to win the Roland Garros title since Tony Trabert in 1955 after rallying from two sets down to defeat Lendl 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3. Chang's comeback is considered one of the all-time greatest in sports history. (AP Photo/Lionel Cironneau, File)

This is a 24 x 18 acrylic (impasto) on canvas. Playing with the dramatic light in the doorway.
I really like the sepia effect, fantastic.
Hey Thanks Leonarrd! I should do more impasto's
love the purple
wow this is amazing, how long did it take you!?
its really cool how this painting is like in a totally different style to your other paintings.
also im going to experiment with impasto on canvas, what do you apply the paint with?

Hey thanks for your kindness on the painting!! I applied the acrylic paint thick and un-watered down ,with just a small brush..I just started layering in tiny areas with alot of paint and did it in sections..I used ALOT of paint though-That thing was HEAVY once it dried !!! Good luck with your Impasto adventures and have Fun #1!!!!
Wonderful work, David
Wonderful work, David
Thank you so much for taking the time to check out the crazy stuff!
David, this was like going through the park at Walt Disney World.....fun and an experience of a lifetime!! Thank you!!
this is fantastic. it is one of my favorites in your gallery.
This is really awesome! I didn't notice this one in your gallery before... all of your work is incredible. This one is a different sort of feel though. More serious in nature to me. I love it. Its beautiful.
Seriously cool
I like it! It looks so comfortable...
I love eeet
I love eeet
I was just looking at this again and wanted to tell you for a second time how flippin' awesome it is.
I broke down and sold it for $200 this summer cause I needed the money-The frame cost $30-the amount of paint{thick impasto} cost $30..I aint complaining-Put it in a juried show-It was overlooked by 7 awards of lesser works-but it sold..to some guy somewhere who enjoys it every day..Thanks for the kindness Bry
I luv that song by Arrested Devolopment! Nice job!^^
excellent impasto and contrast!
So nice. I love the texture of his face!
just curious...is that an arrested development reference?
YES! IT IS actually-Youre the only one who's ever mentioned Arrested Development-Haaaa! Youre old school cool..
Much respect - an excellent artwork - well composed - great skin tones and lighting.
I like it. I played with the light for 6 years straight. You can see it in my night paintings of buildings. pigments of paint reflections to reveal what I had seen exspanding through the darkness.
wonderful character.
amazing textures and lighting.
I've taken an impasto class... and this is one of the best I've ever seen.
Beautiful work. I enjoy wondering what the heck he's trying to show me.
Absolutely beautiful work! I love monochromatic work and that especially goes for monochromatic impasto! There is just so much to see in this painting - you're a VERY talented artist!
Wow-Thanks for the props big time..Its weird/ ironic because I usually do all these highly detailed complicated funky things and this was my first impasto and its actually liked. I did it for a juried show-{virginia artists2007-Hampton, Virginia} -and i hate to sound like a sell=out, but i said -man, they always pick impasto style stuff for best in shows- because the 'art people' love that type of stuff..so I did it and it was easy- I wont know if they accepted it till july-but they probably will- Maybe ill do more of em..sorry to ramble- Just wanted to note that I dig your style and we have a simular vision as far as the narrative themes of twisted culture/society..It kinda takes alotta guts to break the molds and be unique. Keep on keepin on! and best of luck- Dave.
You deserve the props, and thanks for the vote of confidence from you as well. I've been trying hard for a show in my home town, but surrealism is just too cosmopolitan for people here who appreciate Southwestern style art. I collaborated with another surrealist and we're been accepted for a two-man show at the local university gallery. I'm really happy about that, especially since the University has a far more sophisticated audience than the rest of town. Good luck on being accepted, juried shows are always nerve-wracking.
Yeah, I only have ideas on how to expand- and havent gone further as of yet this year because my work and my name is still growing. I got in a local art thing-like an art alliance"group" thing and they all are old "cactus" people- but so what..I pay my yearly dues and they find the gigs- and they cant boot me from their group because im paying them..They find the places to show and I pay to get shown- thats where im still at- and wanna get to where someone represents and pays the fees/ for the prints/ shipping/ wall space/ limo{ha} etc.. I aint paying $100 a month for 13 feet of wall space in a cali gallery-no way..If they dig my stuff like they say-then they should hang it without my $..I aim for some legit representation-local or whatever. I dont have the 20 awesome pieces to fill out a one person show yet but its gunna get there..We'll see what happens in this upcoming remainder of the year. Im super obsessed and motivated, and working really hard at it. Its like One great rock song can change the world-well..one great painting can too- Im gunna pile up my stock like bullets for now- You will be posted/updated on any movements{mostly bowell right now-HA!} and thanks for sharing again and well see what messes we can cause/ create-! Dave
Wow! Our stories coincide quite a bit! I'm also a member of an art organization that consists of retired people who paint the same tired themes over and over. I'm usually the "weird one" in the group when they have shows in the area. A good example is this past February (For the Love of Art month in my hometown) they had a show that consisted of the same droll landscapes and the usual paintings of Native Americans (all technically mediocre and uninspired) and I submitted "The Bottle Babies" (in my gallery) along with an explanation of the painting. It certainly attracted a bit of attention, but it was more likely because it was so obviously different.
It's good that you're motivated to get your art out there. It's a shame that most artists have to rely on people in the business end of art to promote us - being an extremely talented artist does not necessarily mean that fame and fortune will follow. Still, if you're as determined as you sound, I'm sure it will pay off for you - your art is definitely top notch!

i'll have to fave this one.

All Gingerbread ROMs Running On Phones
The Gingerbread source hasn't even been released yet, and people are already trying to get Gingerbread on their devices. To make clear which devices are supported by certain ROMs, XDA-developers has made a list of working ROMs. Because they're just ripped off the emulator, don't expect even the basic stuff to work well, but you can play with it to see what the Gingerbread UI is like. Besides, new stuff is always cool to test, right?

Suceava, Romania
Caption: The Armenian Street in Suceava all covered with snow. In the background you can see the bell tower of the Sain Simion Armenian church built in 1513. The passage of time brought the church close to ruin. Recently there's work under way to bring back its original shine. In the foreground you can see an old house, newer than the church though, which is typical for this street. There were almost blizzard conditions and now as I'm posting the picture it's still snowing heavily.

With Libby handling heavy duties in the White House, there is no reason for his memory to be expected to be better than that of others about something like this -- much less to convict him of perjury.
As for the pay-back conspiracy theory of a Bush administration-inspired leak because of Wilson's opposition to the Iraq war, Richard Armitage was not an Iraq war hawk and columnist Robert Novak opposed the war. They had no reason to discredit Wilson.
Even the term "leak" is misleading. In the course of a discussion, Novak simply asked Armitage why someone with no expertise like Joe Wilson had been sent to Niger in the first place -- and Armitage's answer was that he was sent at the suggestion of his wife, who worked at the C.I.A.
Novak's column was not about that fact but mentioned it in passing. From this the liberal media went ballistic with conspiracy theories that we now know were totally false.
A man's life has been ruined because his memories differed from that of others -- whose memories also differed among themselves -- and media liberals are exulting as if their conspiracy theories had been vindicated.
More important, how are we to expect highly qualified people, with far better options than a government job, to risk being put through the Washington meatgrinder because of politics, media hype and special prosecutors who can create crimes in the course of an investigation, when there was none to begin with?

I have not made many texture-oriented fractals, so here is one.
looks like the beginning of an RC Gorman painting
Awesome colours and texture, makes me believe I can touch amd feel it Awesome!
I love the textured stuff!
The folded colors of the rainbow -- I keep waiting for some little kid to pop their head out of the blanket just laughing and having a great time.
"The folded colors of the rainbow", awesome description!
The other part of your comment is very nice too, many thanks!

Beautiful flame..
Hrm.. First thing to come to mind:
This looks just like a beautiful and time-worn quilt. I love the textures in this and the soft colors are very lovely and perfect for the image.
A very cool flame! It makes me want to reach out and touch it!
The texture looks amazing!
I like it...it's like a quilted tulip or rose.
Scott more or less had the same idea as me, only to me it looks like a beautiful comforter just thrown back as is someone had just got out of bed!!
That is truly amazing!!From the thumb and even in small view i thought it was a freshly folded napkin right from the dryer.Astounding work on textures!!The colours have such a nice faded look,as if they laundered many times.Use your powers wisely Master Luc,and beware the dark side.They covet your talent and will stop at nothing in order to obtain it.
Scott, thanks for your very original comment and don't worry too much about the dark side, I should be able to resist it and I have some Jedis like you around if something goes wrong! May the Force be with us!

In the wake of the haunting mass killing in Sandy Hook, Conn., the opponents of gun rights are calling for a renewed "assault weapons" ban, reduced clip capacity, and even an end to the sale of semi-automatic weapons.
The emotions roiled by such a horrendous act are understandable. However, it is appropriate for federal policy makers to proceed with level-headed caution before enacting laws that truncate the rights of the many based on the bad acts of a few.
It would also be helpful for the language of the debate to be moderated by the facts. For instance, the differences between the class of weapons targeted by Washington liberals, such as the AR-15, are largely cosmetic compared to other hunting rifles. These rifles may look similar to military versions, but like hunting rifles, they are semi-automatic. That means one trigger pull equals one bullet fired – the same as most other deer rifles or shotguns carried by hunters.
Pronouncements by "gun law experts" such as UCLA law professor Adam Winkler that "These high-powered semi-automatic rifles are not self-defense weapons," are laughable ("Will Obama use executive action on guns?" Yahoo News, Dec. 18). I invite Mr. Winkler to try breaking into the home of an AR-15 owner.
The Left's current crusade to curtail the rights of Americans is simply the latest in a long push to ensure only the government has access to firearms, while the law-abiding populace remains defenseless. In its single-mindedness, the Left ignores the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court has rebuffed this reading of the Second Amendment.
The major difference between the AR-15 and its relatives compared to other firearms available to the public is in clip capacity, which may range from 10 to dozens. But what do the numbers say about murder by firearm statistics the last time the federal government imposed bans on "assault weapons" and high-capacity clips?
The FBI's national crime statistics show that in the first full year the ban went into effect, 1995, firearms were used in 68 percent of murders. That rate remained relatively steady for the full 10 years, until in 2005, the murder by firearm rate clocked in at an identical 68 percent. (The most recent figure, for 2011, is 67.7 percent)
The futility of President Clinton's 10-year infringement of Americans' Second Amendment rights shows that reducing gun violence is less about the type of firearms on the market, and more about keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally unstable.
It is for this reason we must continue the background checks imposed by current law, and extend background checks to those buying weapons at organized gun shows. (The federal government should not, however, delve into the dealings of individuals privately conducting one-off sales.)
Further, it would be a wise investment for the federal government to reinstate mental health dollars reallocated by President Reagan in the 1980s. Better identification, treatment and care for the mentally ill might have prevented the most recent catastrophe.
Returning to the point of keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, I will leave you with this food for thought: Governments that make it hard for law-abiding citizens to own a gun are making poor use of their finite enforcement resources.
Consider Connecticut, which has relatively strict gun laws. By crunching FBI and U.S. Census Bureau numbers, one finds that Connecticut marked a rate of 2.63 homicides by gun per 100,000 population in 2011. Texas, which has some of the most lenient gun laws on the books, saw a very similar 2.77 homicides per 100,000 residents.
Heavy-handed California (3.27) was just under Georgia (3.81), despite imposing much more stringent firearm regulations. The lenient state of Louisiana, which had a relatively high homicide by firearm rate of 8.86 per 100,000 residents, was far outpaced by Washington, D.C., home of some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, as well as a frightful homicide by gun rate of 12.81 per 100,000 residents in 2011.

If last year's Deathly Hallows: Part 1 marked the beginning of the end with doom and gloom, Part 2 wraps things up once and for all on a note of melancholy.
Hugo, War Horse, The Help and Moneyball among those nominated for best picture.
LOS ANGELES --- The animated Astro Boy is a shiny hodgepodge of Pinocchio, WALL-E, Oliver Twist, Gladiator and Superman with some obvious visual touches taken from The Iron Giant . As its own entity, though, it's pretty forgettable.
LOS ANGELES --- Ten years ago, Mike Judge satirized the absurdities of the workplace experience from the perspective of put-upon employees with Office Space . It became a cult favorite on cable and home video, to the point that it changed the way you looked at the common stapler.
LOS ANGELES - A joyless cacophony, an insistent and seemingly endless onslaught, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," director Michael Bay's follow-up to the 2007 smash "Transformers" plays more like a parody of a Bay movie.
LOS ANGELES - J.J. Abrams' hugely anticipated summer extravaganza "Star Trek" boldly goes to the past within the distant future of the "Trek" universe, years ahead of the TV series and the myriad movies and spin-offs it spawned.
Burn After Reading , the latest offering in the eclectic filmography of Joel and Ethan Coen, is not to be taken seriously -- one look at Brad Pitt's blond-streaked pouf of hair tells you that -- and it's certainly not to be compared to their starkly violent Academy Award-winner from last year, No Country for Old Men .
Traitor is the kind of movie so many of us yearn to see: It's intense and intelligent, has something to say without being pedantic and presents complicated issues without condescension.
The title is Step Brothers . You know, because there are two of them, but Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are playing the same person, which is the movie's fundamental, irreparable flaw.
Do you hear that? That shrill, shrieking sound coming from your local multiplex? That would be the Judd Apatow machine slowly, steadily winding down after humming along so brilliantly for so long.

Easel hunter Nicky from Bronx, NY on 05/06/2015 – Verified Buyer– Top 5 Reviewer
My 3year old son loves this easel. I like it because it sits on the table instead of most of them that take up a lot of room on the floor. We have had this easel for a year now and it has been pretty durable, one of the wooden screws will not stay screwed anymore but it isn't an issue.

Poor craftsmanship but great idea Jay the Dad from New York on 11/21/2009 – Verified Buyer
Its a great concept as it gives a child a chance to be creative and expresive.
However right out of the packaging it fell apart. I had to use glue and luckily it was really good glue, but there is no excuse for such a poorly made product. Other reviews all over the internet about this product confirm that I am hardly the only one with this specific issue.
Melissa and Doug is a trusted name so I was very surprised by the substandard quality.
Still, after using some glue and letting it sit for a while my child really loves the easel and spends quite a bit of time drawing and writing.
The magnetic board allows for other items such as alphabet and number magnets to be used in conjunction.
I would have given 5 stars if the easel were built better.

ABSTRACT: On-chip high-speed interconnects with underlayer orthogonal metal grids, including grid-backed lines (GBLs) and grid-backed coplanar waveguides (GBCPWs), are characterized through s-parameter measurements. For GBL test structures, the presence of underlayer metal grids reduces dispersion by a factor of 4 while the local speed of light decreases by a factor of 2 in comparison to those of conventional microstrip lines. The dispersion reduction comes from suppressing higher order modes; the local speed of light reduction comes from a longer current return path. These characteristics are beneficial for compact CMOS analog circuit designs. Losses caused by substrate and conductor lines are restrained by shielding the substrate and by involving weaker electric fields. Resonance at a frequency characterized by that of a patch antenna was observed and needs to be considered in high-speed circuit designs. The grids have weaker effects in the case of CPWs, where the side ground plate effects are significant. A signal transmission example shows that dispersion and frequency-dependent losses are important in determining the signal rise edge. Semi-empirical distributed resistance-inductance-capacitance-conductance (RLCG) equivalent circuit models are constructed for the interconnects below the resonant frequencies.

ABSTRACT: We report a ferromagnetic thin film characterization method and the measured microwave permeability of patterned permalloy films. The method incorporates ferromagnetic materials with transmission lines and extracts RLCG equivalent circuit elements from scattering parameters. The frequency-dependent effective permeability is then obtained from the incremental R and L caused by the ferromagnetic material. The measured high-frequency losses of thin permalloy ( Ni 80 Fe 20) films between 1 and 20 GHz show that geometry design restrains ferromagnetic resonance and eddy-current effects effectively. Above ∼22 GHz, mode conversion occurs in the test structures. Other broadband structures are necessary for further extractions. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.
Article: Pulsed wave interconnect[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pulsed wave interconnect is proposed for global interconnect applications. Signals are represented by localized wave-packets that propagate along the interconnect lines at the local speed of light to trigger the receivers. Energy consumption is reduced through charging up only part of the interconnect lines and using the voltage doubling property of the receiver gate capacitances. In a 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology case study, SPICE simulations show that pulsed wave interconnect can save up to 50% of energy and /spl sim/30% of chip area in comparison with the repeater insertion method. A proposed signal splitting structure provides reasonable isolations between different receivers. Measured S-parameters of 3.8-mm interconnect lines fabricated through CMOS foundry showed that the distortion and attenuation of a pico second signal are much less serious than the theoretical predictions. Pulsed wave interconnect also enables time division application of a single line to boost its bit rate capacity. The use of nonlinear transmission lines (NLTL) is also proposed to overcome pulse broadening and attenuation caused by dispersion and frequency-dependent losses. Pulsed waves on an NLTL may be generated, transmitted, split and detected with components realizable in bulk and SOI CMOS technologies. Tapered NLTL can be used for pulse compression. NLTL edge sharpening abilities may be applicable for signal rise time control.

ABSTRACT: The mutual inductance and self-inductance of global interconnects are important but difficult to extract and model in deep submicrometer very large scale integration (VLSI) designs. The absence of effective mutual magnetic field shielding limits the maximum unbuffered interconnect line length. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate that permalloy-loaded transmission lines can be used for high-speed interconnect applications to overcome these limitations. Permalloy films were incorporated into planar transmission lines using a CMOS-compatible process. The line characteristics show that eddy-current effects are the limiting factors for the high-frequency permalloy applications when ferromagnetic resonance are restrained through geometry design. Patterning permalloy films effectively extends their application to above 20 GHz. The line characteristic impedances are about ∼90 Ω. Under 50 mA dc current biases, the line parameters did not change much. Moreover, the patterned permalloy reduces the magnetic field coupling between two adjacent transmission lines by about 10 dB in our design. The demonstrated operation frequency range, current carrying capability and magnetic field shielding properties indicate that the permalloy loaded lines are suitable for high-speed interconnect applications in CMOS technologies.
Conference Paper: Dispersion and resonance of on-chip interconnect lines with underlayer orthogonal metal grids[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: High-speed interconnect lines with underlayer orthogonal metal grids show significant decreases in dispersions and signal transmission velocities below ∼10 GHz. Strong resonance occurs at higher frequencies, which can be accurately predicated by the rectangular patch antenna theory.
Conference Paper: Transient analysis of nonlinear microwave circuits using small-signal scattering parameters[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A transient analysis method for nonlinear microwave circuit analysis is described in this paper. S-parameter microwave circuit theory and measurement-based small-signal scattering parameters of nonlinear devices are used directly to construct the large signal response of the circuits. This consistent modeling and analysis approach retains all the frequency-dependence information of the measured small-signal parameters. The method is applied to predict the large signal performance of a discrete AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT), biased in the common source amplifier mode. Reasonable agreement between the simulated and measured results is obtained. This method does not have limitations on the number of input carrier frequencies or the total number of frequencies. It is expected to be a useful and efficient tool in waveform engineering applications.

Unilever workers take strike action last December
Geoff Barnes, Geoff Barnes / / News
The long-running dispute at Unilever has ended with Usdaw union members accepting changes to the company's pension scheme.
The dispute was sparked by Unilever's decision to replace its final salary pension scheme with a career earnings scheme, which workers claimed would substantially reduce the income workers would receive in retirement.
Leaders of the three unions involved – Usdaw, UNITE and GMB – called workers out on strike earlier this year.
They claimed Unilever's plans to axe the final salary pension would see retirement income of thousands of staff slashed by up to 40%.
Following talks held at ACAS in February, Unilever agreed to make a number of significant improvements to the career earnings scheme rules but maintained their position that the existing final salary scheme was unsustainable.
The offer of the improved scheme was put to a ballot of members of all three unions.
But while both Usdaw and GMB members voted to reject it, members of UNITE voted by a margin of two to one to accept the offer.
Faced with a significant number of workers accepting Unilever's improved offer, Usdaw representatives agreed to ballot their members again.
David Johnson, national officer for the Union of Shop Distributive and Allied Workers, said: "While we have achieved some important improvements to the replacement scheme, our members remain angry and bitterly disappointed by Unilever's decision to close the final salary pension scheme.
"However, once a significant number of their colleagues had voted to accept Unilever's improved offer, Usdaw members were left with little option but to reluctantly follow suit or face fighting the company on their own."
Promoted stories
"Our members can be proud of the way they have conducted themselves throughout this dispute and for the determination, resolve and unity they have shown in resisting the company's attack on their future living standards."
Usdaw represents workers at Unilever's manufacturing facilities at Port Sunlight in Wirral and Seacroft in Leeds.
The union also has a small number of members at Unilever's Research and Development facility in Port Sunlight and at the company's factory in Warrington.
At the time of the dispute Unilever said the decision on pensions had been "a tough but necessary choice which reflected the realities of rising life expectancy and increased market volatility."
They added: "We believe the provision of final salary pensions is a broken model which is no longer appropriate for Unilever.
They claimed that pension arrangements – due to be implemented in July – were "exceptionally competitive" and had been significantly enhanced as a result of feedback from workers during a 100-day consultation process.

Union 'reluctantly' accepts Unilever pension changes
Can anyone please explain to me just exactly what is the point in being in a union these days?
Seems to me that the levy on the paypacket might just as well be called another tax. They do nothing for the member and are powerless to act even if they wanted to.

Samuel J. Eldersveld Collegiate Professor of Political Science
Department Profile
View Curriculum Vitae
Mark Tessler is Samuel J. Eldersveld Collegiate Professor of Political Science. He specializes in Comparative Politics and Middle East Studies. He has studied and/or conducted field research in Tunisia, Israel, Morocco, Egypt, and Palestine (West Bank and Gaza). He is one of the very few American scholars to have attended university and lived for extended periods in both the Arab world and Israel. He has also spent several years teaching and consulting in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Many of Professor Tessler's scholarly publications examine the nature, determinants, and political implications of attitudes and values held by ordinary citizens the Middle East. Among his fifteen books are Public Opinion in the Middle East: Survey Research and the Political Orientations of Ordinary Citizens (2011); Islam, Democracy and the State in Algeria: Lessons for the Western Mediterranean and Beyond (2005); and Area Studies and Social Science: Strategies for Understanding Middle East Politics (1999).
His most recent book, supported by an award from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, is Islam and Politics in the Middle East: Explaining the Views of Ordinary Citizens (2015). Based on 42 nationally representative surveys carried out in 15 countries between 1988 and 2011, this work investigates popular perceptions and preferences relating to the role that Islam should play in government and political affairs.
Professor Tessler also co-directs the Arab Barometer Survey project. The first wave of Arab Barometer surveys, carried out in eight Arab countries and completed in 2009, was named the best new data set in comparative politics by the American Political Science Association in 2010. The second wave of Arab Barometer surveys was carried out in twelve countries during 2010-2011, and the third wave was carried out in ten countries from late 2012 to early 2014. These data are available through the Arab Barometer website.
Professor Tessler has also conducted research and written extensively on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His publications on the subject include A History of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, which won national honors and was named a "Notable Book of 1994" by The New York Times. An updated and expanded edition of this book was
published in 2009.

Wendy Alec talks about Visions From Heaven
Don't miss Behind the Screens over the next four weeks!
Posted on 29/03/2014 - 10:24am
Wendy Alec shares about her latest book in four editions of Behind The Screens this month, the regular series hosted by the GOD TV founders. You can watch these on air or online and if you missed a broadcast, watch the latest Behind The Screens on demand now.
This is a magnificent book that contains so much revelation from our Father in Heaven. We believe it is going to touch people profoundly. We are unashamedly promoting it because it encapsulates a painful season Wendy went through, revealing why the Father let her go through such trauma and how He delivered her. If you know anybody who is struggling, this provides Heavenly answers for the weary heart.
In addition to being co-founder of GOD TV and the network's President and CEO, Wendy is a prophet and seer and 'Visions From Heaven' recounts a series of supernatural encounters with God, from the Father's Chambers to the brilliance of the Throne Room. There are also glimpses into 'Satan's trophy rooms' and the macabre trading floors of the Souls of Men, exposing the enemy's battle against God's people that is ongoing in the spirit realm.
"If you have been through a season of adversity, testing or trial… if your heart is secretly breaking with bewilderment and abandonment… if Heaven itself has seemed silent at your time of deepest need… the Father's answers to these questions will bring surprises, challenges, immense encouragement and such great hope," says Wendy.
Reviews of Visions From Heaven by Wendy Alec
Wendy's newly published prophetic work is already attracting online reviews. "It is difficult to find a way to adequately convey the brilliance of this remarkable and truly unique book," says Michael Charles on Amazon. "Visions From Heaven recounts an astonishing series of visitations that contain a genuinely life-changing power never before encountered in all my years of reading Christian books. God Himself has demonstrably changed my life through this book. I urge every Christian to get a copy, it will profoundly change the lives of all who read it."
A reader on Good Reads posted the following: "I highly recommend this book to anyone searching for truth. Those who have dismissed God from their lives because of heartache will receive remarkable insight on why they have had to suffer. It also makes for essential reading for believers, opening up a heart of compassion for those in pain. The scales will fall off your eyes as you understand what is taking place in the spirit realm. Wendy's visions help readers come to grips with the bigger picture of their lives, creating a safe place to overcome feelings of fear, guilt or shame. It is truly liberating."
How to order 'Visions From Heaven - A Visit to My Father's Chamber'
Visions from Heaven can be ordered from your GOD TV regional office for a gift to the ministry of £25 or you can order via the Internet at Amazon and other leading online bookstores. Watch Behind The Screens - Visions From Heaven on demand. You can also access Wendy's regular prophetic series A Word From Heaven .

This is fantastic advice. Being kind is an important, and often overlooked, tool in leadership. Just look at the Dalai Lama and his use of peace in leading his followers. Thanks for the great piece.
12 Most Simple Acts of Kindness as a Leadership Tool
In a world of constant changes, whether in our family or professional lives, everyone appreciates the salve of kindness. How can we find continued ways in which we can express and share kindness to better each others experiences?
Being an interviewer at heart, I have found asking good questions will lead you to better answers. Like my mentor Tony Robbins teaches; if it is better results you seek, then you need to ask better questions. With this in mind, my post today will revolve around us asking ourselves better questions and lead our brains to uncovering answers that benefit all mankind.
1. Saying with genuine interest
How are you today?
2. Asking from a place of love
Can I help you?
3. Looking with your heart
Where do you want support?
4. Envisioning with your inner eyes
How can I see your perspective?
5. Shift the anger and proclaim kindness
Can I see past the situation with love?
6. Human relationships thrive on kindness
Where can I offer up generosity?
7. Looking through the pain
What door can we open to provide illumination?
8. When selfishness generates kindness: a quick leadership lesson
Can I take that on for you?
9. Reputation for kindness is deeper than words
How can I give the experience?
10. Combining Faithfulness and Kindness
When is quiet peacefulness welcomed?
11. Kindness is its own motivation
I serve myself while serving others
12. Kindness can feed the soul
I can choose kindness when fondness is out of reach.
When will we each make the choice to be kind in our journey through both our professional and personal lives?
Will we be willing to look at our behaviors in a honest way with kindness?
Bashing ourselves usually is what keeps folks from wanting to be honest.
How can you support yourself in this self discovery mode?
Where will you play a role in using Kindness in your business as well as personal life?
As you can see this topic brings up a lot of questions, which is good, it gives us space to explore and evolve together.
You ready?

Thank you for sharing.
This is not just a way of leadership and kindness but a way to incorporate this into our everyday life and help us and others to reach out for world peace.
I loved this piece. I actually read it twice today (shared it after the 1st time) and what kept resonating for me was, "12 Most Simple Acts of Kindness as a Humanity Tool." I also loved the actual questions to "show" the examples. Ellen Bremen, M.A. @chattyprof
I always say that about #1 - ask people how they are doing and actually listen to their answer! It is way too often that people ask and have no interest in what you are actually planning to say.

Hi Michele,
Many of these are so important, but looking through other peoples' eyes is absolutely essential. Excellent job of summarizing these posts in an easy-to-understand way!
@mariepayton A toast: The biggest gamble in life is two people trying to be won.
@chattyprof Thanks, funny thing is when we live in our brilliance amazing things will surface. I wish I lived this 100%, thing is I know in my heart that I do my best and learn each time I trip. Thank you for sharing with me that it had profound effect, that helps when I need to find the inspiration to write. I love writing but it feels like giving birth every time I do ;)
Dan you hit the nail on the head and when that happens to me it immediately diminishes the other person in my mind and subconscious.
I wonder if people realize the effect that one simple thing holds for them?
@westfallonline Yes it can be easy to overlook these because we think "oh I have more important things to do" and yet how would our world look if everyone did practice this with regularity?
@margieclayman Thanks questions are easy for me lol. Now all of to be able to quiet our minds to allow the answers - that is where peace comes ;)
@prosperitygal A dear friend of mine has a saying, "Relax into your destiny," which reminded me of your quote "Live in our brilliance." I think those are fabulous thoughts :-). Ellen

Whoa this is awesome! My psychology club is having a movie night and were playing Inception. So I was wondering if we could possibly use this as our flyer to promote it?
unlike the winner (which is no doubt very good, but unfortunately doesn't arouse the same emotions), this one really feels number 1! so sorry it hasn't won(
i'm not so good at all the tiny shades of meaning and suchlike stuff, but the thing is that this work captures attention at once and doesn't let you pass it by. if it were for me, i would certainly give it 1st prize)

I really love this! It's amazing!
This Should Have Benn First Place, This Acutally Had Some Thought Behind It. Great Job
this is what i wanted mine to be like
only you did it better than i could!!
only you did it better than i could!!
Ah, you totally deserve being in the semi-finals. And in the final final round, if you ask me. This is really stunning, convincing with its simple yet meaningful design. Great idea, man
your concept is great!
This one is a winer for me! It's fascinating!
Wish you good luck!!

Good luck !

I went all "afjdkjfkdhgthisisawesomehgjkfd" when I saw the bottom of the picture (I love the reflections!) Good luck!!!!
I really like this. It captures the whole essence of the movie - what is reality? In the movie it is all encapsulated by the top and this shows that. But, when you look closer there are tiny paradoxes and intricacies on many levels just like the dreams! To sum up, I hope you win!
Many thanks, I'm glad that you analyzed the piece and noticed some of the subtle details and messages that I made.
The paradox is fascinating. Congratulations for making it to the finals, deviant. Keep pushing with your style!

While a surgical team still struggles to extract the shiv Al Gore planted in Joe Lieberman's political back, it should be said that Lieberman wasn't the only aggrieved politician to make headlines lately. That said, he was practically the only one who had a bona fide bone to pick. Not to have received a phone call from Gore before the former vice president endorsed Howard Dean for president -- and reporters telephoned an unprepared Lieberman for comment -- was more than any former running mate should have to take. This move was old-fashioned treachery, a blot on the Lieberman escutcheon. Indeed, duels have been fought for less.
A world away, Afghanistan's finance minister, Ashraf Ghani, revealed another bona fide scandal, one of greater, if little-noted, significance. Post-Taliban Afghanistan hasn't received "any major contribution from our Arab brothers," as Ghani put it. He continued: "I think it deserves emphasis that the least amount of assistance is coming from Muslim countries to this country which has been at the forefront of freeing the world from the evils of communism and then terrorism, and I hope Muslim solidarity will come."
Other foul calls rang hollow. The United Nations ginned up sufficient (and sufficiently cynical) outrage to refer Israel's security fence against Palestinian suicide-bombers for judgment to The Hague, which is like the principal's office for the International Community. European Muslims, outraged about a proposed mention of Europe's Christian heritage -- a pesky fact of history -- in the new EU constitution, raised a phony cry of xenophobia to try to deep-six the effort. European Europeans, meanwhile, protested too much after the United States announced -- sacre bleu! -- that only those nations that had helped liberate Iraq (or now contributed to the country's stabilization) could bid for the $18.6 billion in reconstruction contracts in Iraq.
While the sense of shock was real -- Who in Old Europe actually expected repercussions? -- the outrage mustered by European politicians fell flat.
The U.S. decision, a German government spokesman said, went against "a spirit of looking to the future together and not to the past." Translation: How dare Old Europe, having failed to assist in safeguarding the free world, be barred from reaping the profits? Clearly, Old Europe is no Joe Lieberman.
Then there was the outrage that has no name. Or, rather, it has a name (boy, does it have a name), but no voice -- at least not yet. What I refer to is a story on the newswire at www.memri.com reporting that about 50 parents "in a gulf country" have named their newborn infants, boys and girl both, Irhab.

Deschutes Brewery has lived by the words "do your best and next time do it better" since the day our doors opened in 1988. Going the extra mile to do the right thing wherever possible is built into our standard operating procedure. This thinking steers our Sustainability Team to ensure the company uses fewer resources, while simultaneously maintaining a productive and healthy workforce, and creating lifelong fans.
As a member of our local and global communities, we take responsibility for our influence on the planet. We balance what we take with what we give back by tracking our economic, environmental, and social efforts. We actively seek out opportunities to positively impact the communities where our beer is available. It is our pleasure to restore one billion gallons of water into the Deschutes River every year to offset what we use to brew our damn tasty beer.
We have accomplished much to be proud of since 1988, yet there remains work to be done. We will continue to contribute solutions that make a real difference. We hope our activities will inspire others to do the same.
If you are interested in seeing our annual report, please email us and we'd be happy to share it with you.
Each year, we dedicate $1 per barrel sold to charities throughout the community to help fulfill our goal of building a healthier society. Giving ranges from environmental causes that are near and dear to the company's Oregon roots, all the way to assisting kids in need through local service organizations. A cross-departmental team of passionate individuals help to guide community giving for the company, which equals more than a quarter of a million dollars annually.
Our Community Involvement Committee, a group of employees from throughout the brewery, meets monthly to review all donation requests. Deschutes Brewery looks for non-profit organizations that demonstrate creativity, diversity and an innovative approach to their mission and objectives. This committee also looks for organizations that are directly meaningful or already supported by our employees themselves. To learn more and to fill out a donation request form, please visit our Donations page.

The White House plan to cut Social Security benefits has been praised by major media as a brave move towards the "middle" by Obama, as well as an effort to use a more "accurate" measure of inflation. Neither claim is credible. Part of the White House plan is to change how inflation is calculated, by switching to the "chained consumer price index." This results in a small reduction in benefits that compounds over time, so the cuts get larger as retirees get older. Many in the media depicted this as a bold centrist move.
