Rhyton returned this week with their newest album, Kykeon, on Thrill Jockey. Made up of three great players in the Brooklyn experimental scene -- David Shuford (aka D. Charles Speer and of No Neck Blues Band), Rob Smith (of Pigeons) and Jimy SeiTang (ex-Psychic Ills) -- Rhyton are well equipped to take on ideas as ambitious as the ones on Kykeon. Of its six songs, four pass the seven-minute mark and only one is under four, and they're all instrumental passages through Middle Eastern melodies and psychedelic rock. In terms of other modern stuff, Grails comes to mind as a comparison, and fans of that band would likely dig this. But really any fans of tripped-out extended jams should check this out. You can listen to the whole thing on Spotify and stream one track below.
At the moment, Rhyton have four shows scheduled including one in Hudson, NY tonight (11/21) and two upcoming dates in their hometown of NYC. The first is this Sunday (11/23) at Trans-Pecos with Fadensonnen (with special guests Chris Pitsiokos, Jim Sauter, Kevin Shea and Brian Sullivan) and Key of Shame (also No Neck-related). Tickets for that show are on sale now.
Their next local show happens December 10 at Union Pool with two other local psych bands, Weird Owl and Prince Rupert's Drops (tix at door).
All dates are listed, with that song stream, below...

What's going on Sunday? (Zola Jesus, Radiator Hospital, Allison Crutchfield, Tyondai Braxton, Arto Lindsay, more)
Zola Jesus at Catalpa Fest 2012 (more by Toby Tenenbaum)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
Zola Jesus, Martin Rev, Lee Bannon @ Webster Hall
Zola Jesus' new album Taiga is her first for a bigger label (Mute) and her most accessible, but it's still the Zola Jesus we know and love. Cool support at this show from Suicide's Martin Rev and electronic producer Lee Bannon.
Radiator Hospital, Allison Crutchfield, Slutever, Girlpool, Libbie 2000 @ Silent Barn
This is a cool bill all around with the always-fun Radiator Hospital, Swearin' singer Allison Crutchfield (playing off her very good solo EP) and two lo-fi LA duos, Slutever and Girlpool.
Tyondai Braxton, Olga Bell, Paul Lansky, Nate Boyce, Daniel Lopatin, Lucky Dragons, Roomful of Teeth, Holly Herndon, more @ MoMA PS1
This is an all-day event called Sound/Source, an "exploration of electroacoustic music in all its forms, featuring collaborations between legends, luminaries, and newcomers as they examine the interplay between human and machine sounds." Lineup includes former Battles member Tyondai Braxton, current Dirty Projectors member Olga Bell, Daniel Lopatin (aka Oneohtrix Point Never), Holly Herndon and more.
Arto Lindsay (Noise Quartet), Kid Millions/Jim Sauter Duo, Ornament @ Death by Audio
Death by Audio is sadly closing soon, but they've been having tons of great shows go down before that. Tonight's especially cool with no wave pioneer-turned-great experimental composer Arto Lindsay playing with his Noise Quartet.
Filmstrip, Ghost Punch, Enney, Eleanor @ Palisades
Filmstrip have a new LP coming out and the last we heard from it was the single "Waiting On A Train" which wasn't too far removed from The Men's punkish country rock. It's good stuff.
Only Crime, Iron Reagan, Ma Jolie @ Saint Vitus
This show has two bands with impressive lineups: Only Crime (Good Riddance, Converge, Black Flag, Descendents, Tegan & Sara, Modern Life Is War, etc) and the heavy thrashers Iron Reagan (Municipal Waste, Cannabis Corpse, and Darkest Hour). Opening is younger band Ma Jolie who make noodly post-hardcore.

It's a battle between two evils: sugar and high fructose corn syrup. But who will taste the sweetness of victory? That question will be answered in a lawsuit that goes before a federal judge in Los Angeles tomorrow.
In that suit, sugar producers are suing the corn industry for making what it says are false claims in high fructose corn syrup ads. Specifically, sugar producers say claims such as high fructose corn syrup is "nutritionally the same as table sugar" and that "your body can't tell the difference" are inaccurate.

Applications of Systems of Equations
A system of equations, also known as simultaneous equations, is a set of equations that have multiple variables. The answer to a system of equations is a set of values that satisfies all equations in the system. Systems of equations can have multiple sets of answers that are correct. Solutions to a system of equations are often written as ordered pairs, (x,y). There are many ways of solving a system of equations, including the elimination, substitution, and graphical methods.
There are many applications of systems of equations. Whenever you have a problem that has multiple variables, setting up a system of equations is often the best method for solving. The steps you need to take in order to do that are: (1) identify the variables in the problem, (2) name the variables, and (3) set up the equations and solve for each variable.
Example 1
Emily is hosting a major after-school party. The principal has imposed two restrictions. First, the total number of people attending (teachers and students combined) must be 56. Second, there must be one teacher for every seven students. How many students and how many teachers are invited to the party?
First, we need to identify our variables. In this case, our variables are teachers and students. Now we need to name these variables: number of teachers will be T, and number of students will be S.
Now we need to set up our equations. There is a constraint limiting the total number of people in attendance to 56, so:
For every seven students, there must be one teacher, so:
Now we a system of equations that can be solved by substitution, elimination, or graphically. The solution to the system is S=49 and T=7.
Example 2
A group of 75 students and teachers are in a field, picking sweet potatoes for the needy. Kasey picks three times as many sweet potatoes as Davis—and then, on the way back to the car, she picks up five more sweet potatoes than that! Looking at her newly increased pile, Davis remarks "Wow, you've got 29 more potatoes than me! " How many sweet potatoes did Kasey and Davis each pick?
To solve, we first define our variables. The number of sweet potatoes that Kasey picks is K, and the number of sweet potatoes that Davis picks is D.
Now we can write equations based on the situation:
From here, substitution, elimination or graphing will reveal that K is 41 and D is 12.
It is important that you always check your answers. A good way to check solutions to a system of equations is to look at the functions graphically and then see where the graphs intersect .
This animation shows the velocity and acceleration vectors for a pendulum. One may note that at the maximum height of the pendulum's mass, the velocity is zero. This corresponds to zero kinetic energy and thus all of the energy of the pendulum is in the form of potential energy. When the pendulum's mass is at its lowest point, all of its energy is in the form of kinetic energy and we see its velocity vector has a maximum magnitude here.

As mentioned in the post Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Conference 2011 - Day 1 Afternoon, there are four new features for Dexterity coming with the release of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 R2.
Below are some more details on the main two new features:
Script Editor Names Window Enhancements
In earlier versions of Dexterity, the Names window allowed a developer to quickly find the names of forms, windows, tables, and fields in the dictionary, and add them to scripts. Now the Names window can look up many more types of resources. For forms, the Names window can look up form-level procedures, form-level functions, constants and commands. For tables, the window can look up keys. The Names window can also look up global procedures, global functions, variables, constants, and reports. Another great feature is the ability to view the components of a composite and select the individual components for use in scripts.
Updated Names window which can be opened from the Script Editor in Dexterity.
Note: This is a tweak that Patrick Roth from the Developer Support team created, which is now part of the core Dexterity product. Thanks Pat.
Also posted at Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP: Feature of the Day: Script Editor Names Window.
TFS Source Control Provider
For the last 11 years, Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (VSS) was the only source code control system that integrated seamlessly with Dexterity. However, Microsoft Visual SourceSafe is no longer available. Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) is the new Microsoft standard for managing a source code repository. With the TFS provider for Dexterity, ISVs can use Team Foundation Server to manage their Dexterity projects. They have the same seamless integration with Dexterity, just like they did for VSS. TFS also integrates seamlessly to Visual Studio, so it can be used to manage other projects like those created with Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP.
Updated Dexterity Source Code Control Service (DSCCS) Control Panel applet.
Also posted at Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP: Feature of the Day: TFS Source Control Provider.
For more information on Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 R2, see the Feature of the Day series of posts on the Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP blog.
Posting from Vaidy Mohan at Dynamics GP - Learn & Discuss
Posting from Mark Polino at DynamicAccounting.net
Hi David,
Any idea if VSS integration has been removed from 2010 R2 or if it is still available as an alternative to TFS?
We're not ready to go to TFS yet as it's quite expensive and doesn't support Sharing between projects - something that we make use of.
Hi Andrew
Source Code Control will still support the Generic Provider as well as VSS in addition to the new TFS mode.

HG for me.
I used to want something with maximum coverage, but as I get older I realize it just makes me look, well, older. I have been using this for a few years, loving the coverage, but recently decided to go lighter because the Retin A I'm using has improved my skin.
I now concentrate application on the center of my face (for me, my fingers are the best application) and sheer it out toward the edges of my face. I do have to use a mineral powder around my nose (broken capillaries) but it gives enough cover and still looks natural.
It's also the only foundation I can use if my face is peeling from an AHA peel (a high % peel) or overdoing it on the Retin A or other active that doesn't make my skin look truly terrible.
It has no sunscreen, which is a plus for me. I use Avobenzone in some sunscreens and some sunscreens in foundations make it unstable.
It's versatile - you can sheer it out or use a few layers for maximum coverage. I am guessing oily-skinned gals won't really care for it, though.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Red, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
One of my most favourite, if not a HG foundation. Discovered this 2 years ago and have been consistently using it since. I'm in the shade 240 Natural Beige. The texture is just what the name states: it's a whipped foundation, similar to a mousse but creamier. I use either a stippling or buffing brush to apply, and I find that a brush is the best and easiest way to work this in after dotting the product evenly on my face. Coverage is medium-full, and I usually don't feel the need to conceal after. I don't have any major blemishes, just some minor acne scarring, so one layer is usually enough. It will accentuate dry patches, so make sure to moisturize well prior. It has a lovely matte finish that doesn't leave my face looking flat. It keeps my oils at bay, and whatever peeks through only leaves a luminous finish. Regardless of the temperature (granted that it isn't in the extremes), this will wear beautifully throughout the day. I'd even say it just keeps looking better the longer I have it on. My only gripe is the packaging: the inside of the plastic lid has cracked on me numerous times and now it's just really awkward to close lol. Also the glass jar is extremely bulky and heavy, not travel friendly. Other than that, a great foundation!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
Right now, this is the best one-step, full-coverage foundation I own.
My skin type: oily and acne-prone, with easily congested pores.
Preferred application method: I use a triangular wedge, the kind you can buy at any drugstore. I dampen it using water from my tap. I then take some of the CS and place it on the back of my hand. I dip the flat base of the wedge into the CS, and then stipple all over my face. This sets quickly, so I keep one of those buffing brushes nearby--I use the Sonia Kashuk Duo Fiber Multipurpose (whew, what a mouthful!), which I'm mentioning just so you can Google and see what kind of brush I'm talking about. So I'll stipple the CS over, say, my chin, then immediately buff with the brush. Then I repeat the process on my left cheek, right cheek, forehead, and nose. Buffing it in fills my pores, and kind of smooths out my skin texture. After all this, I set with powder.
Pros: This stuff DOES NOT BUDGE. For the record I hated liquid CS because it always caked up on me. The whipped CS does not, if I'm careful. I wore this foundation to Disney World last year. In 90+ weather. I sweated--oh, did I sweat. But my makeup did not budge. I blotted my sweaty face with tissues, and my skin looked glowy rather than a runny streaky hot mess. I have a lot of active blemishes and dark spots to cover up, and this'll do it.
Cons: It can cake in the sides on my nose and areas where I have blackheads. It also seems to ball up over my primer, so I have to go without. And, I always have to properly remove it--no lazy washing it off at night, or I'll get congested pores. I either use a cleansing balm followed by my regular cleanser, or I use my Clarisonic.
Overall: 4/5. 'Course, I'm waiting on my Etude House foundation to arrive so I can see if that outperforms this one, but for now, Whipped CS is my best DS bet to an almost flawless complexion.

Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral

This is the best full coverage foundation I've tried. As far as I know it does not contain sunscreen, so if you wear it during the daytime you'll have to use a separate ss.
It blends very easily using a damp BeautyBlender sponge, it is long wearing and doesn't oxidize throughout the day, and it doesn't irritate my skin or cause breakouts. My only minor complaint is about the jar container. It would be more sanitary if this came in a tube. I will definitely repurchase and I've recommended this foundation to several people, all of whom have really liked it.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Medium Brown, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other

Good enough, but not that amazing. Medium coverage, medium oil-control, sometimes a bit flaky. The packaging is good, but not convenient to bring to travel.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Olive, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Hazel
I have to jump on the bandwagon here. I've tried so many foundations, HE and DS and everything in between. Used the Colorstay liquid for a long time and still do in the summer, but this whipped product is the absolute best for natural looking medium-full coverage that stays all day. It doesn't break down, accentuate pores/lines or become cakey. Lately I've been on an HG foundation quest (obsession) and I keep coming back to Revlon ColorStay products. Nothing I've found can beat them.
I have very light olive, sensitive skin that breaks out easily. I have dry patches but an oily t-zone, melasma and blotchy red areas, plus my skin has started to dry out and become more crepey due to age. So, I've moved from medium/light coverage foundation to full-coverage products. Most foundations cause me to have breakouts or irritated skin, and many accentuate fine lines and pores, making my skin look drier than it is. For some reason the Revlon products have not caused any skin problems at all. Colorstay Whipped gives me the fuller coverage I want and a natural, younger look at the same time. The Buff color in this is a perfect match for my NC15 skin.
I use a light moisturizer, then Almay SmartShade Luminous CC primer and let it set for a few minutes. Then I apply the ColorStay Whipped with my fingers, patting a very light layer over my face. If I start out too heavy, it can appear mask-like and crepey. But applied sparingly and correctly over moisturized skin, this is the perfect foundation for me. HG for sure, no matter how hard I try to find something better.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Other, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Other, Medium
Eyes: Brown
When Revlon reformulated ColorStay to the now 24HR label one a while ago, they also decreased the coverage. That's where the whipped one comes in (the higher coverage), and from the consensus I got, it was better than liquid version anyways.
PROS: It covers a lot. The finish is nice IF my skin is really moisturized.
CONS: The color. I'm super pale, leaning neutral to olive, and have it in Buff. It looks like it may be light enough in the package and when first applied, but it oxidizes hours later. What's worse is that the undertone is the standard "warmed up" neutral color, like too peachy for me. I have put a mint green (cool tone) concealer all over it and it worked wonders, but that product is stupidly expensive to be used on a daily basis. The finish is also... it dries powdery and can very easily get cakey. I'm honestly not a fan of the whippedness either, I feel I have to use a lot more vs a fluid foundation. You don't even get 1 oz either.
OTHER: Holds up ok. I try to super set my stuff once and then am fine with it "slowly" breaking down.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Cool
Hair: Red, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I love this foundation! This is way better than most of the high-end brands I own. The color matches my skin to a tee. The only set back is it take a lot to build to a good coverage. This is my go to for a everyday look. I highly recommend it to people with dry skin, because it doesn't dry the skin out.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Very Dry, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I really love this foundation. It looks like it would be very heavy but it isn't. I find you can build on it or add in with your facial moisturizer for a light coverage. I have EXTREMELY dry skin and it doesn't cause a flaky build up like most foundations do. The biggest plus for me is it DOESN"T CAUSE BREAKOUTS! Loving on the nude color and it last a while.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
it cloged my pores. I went for a date in a hot humid summer day wearing this and when I got the restaurant my male friend asked me why my face was broken (he meant like literally broken like glass). this is how serious its problem will ruin ur day. if u sweat a lot in summer, don't use this stuff .

Wanting to do Projects with New Technologies? It sounds exciting, but does have an element of risk.
Why does one want to be an Early-Adopter of new Technology?
Generally, new technologies have new, and marked improvements in features. In most cases, real-world problems and requirements are solved by a new version of software, and sometimes things are just easier and faster than in the past.
How and we (Microsoft) help you?
The IT Pro Momentum Program was designed with that in mind. By Invite, you get access the the Project Portal where you can profile your projects, and have access to Exclusive Information, Training, Product Downloads and Support.Is such a program for me?
It depends on how many of the following questions you can answer to your satisfaction:
Target Audience
Targeted with this program are Small and Medium Sized Business (SME) and Microsoft Partners that do not have regular and dedicated contact/support from Microsoft. For Large Enterprises, other programs like TAP (Technology Adoption Program) and RDP (Rapid Deployment Program) are more suitable, but do not exclude you from IT Pro Momentum.
What will I as a participant get?
It depends on the stage of you Project.
What do we (Microsoft) gain from this?
Firstly, we want to hear from and about you and your Projects you are planning to, or currently working on, and help you where possible. For some, it may be very interesting to be profiled, either on a Blog or a Case Study, to show the world and your colleagues what you achieved. At the same time, share your experiences with the community and prove your competency.Secondly, we have customers who have deployed, and are happily using our Products!
Products and Technologies for the Year 2009 in IT Pro Momentum (Not product shipping dates and is subject to change)
How do I get invited (or have questions)?
Contact Michael Epprecht, IT Pro Evangelist, Microsoft Switzerland via e-mail or the Contact Form. If you are not based in Switzerland or Lichtenstein, we will pass your request onto the responsible IT Pro Evangelist in your region if IT Pro Momentum is offered in your region.

Universidad de Barcelona
Scientists from the University of Barcelona (UB) in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) has discovered a mechanism that prevents alterations in neurogenesis, the process of neuronal formation, during the development of the nervous system in vertebrates. The study, published in the journal Development, relates these distortions to the natural presence of a molecule that inhibits the neuronal formation at the regions adjacent to the tissue suitable for neurogenesis.
Through a theoretical and computational analysis of the retina, scientists have found that lateral inhibition, a process that regulates the generation of neurons in the central nervous system, undergoes alterations at the neurogenic wavefront (i.e. the edge between the regions that generate neurons and the adjacent areas, where neurogenesis has not yet begun).
"The study shows that the absence of the Delta molecule at the adjacent regions reduces the robustness of the neurogenic process, often resulting in an increased production of neurons or in the presence of morphological alterations of the wavefront. These alterations could be catastrophic for the proper development of the nervous system", explains José María Frade, researcher from the CSIC, at the Cajal Institute.
Lateral inhibition during embryonic development aims to control the amount of neurons that are formed. It consists in cells that inhibit other neighbouring cells, promoting neuronal differentiation. "Neuronal precursor cells expressing high levels of Delta induce inhibitory signals in neighbouring cells. These inhibitory signals reduce the capacity of these cells to express Delta itself and, in turn, facilitate the differentiation of the high Delta-expressing precursors. Thus, the massive generation of neurons is avoided and the orderly production of different types of neurons necessary for brain function is facilitated", explains researcher from the CSIC Saúl Ares, who works at the Spanish National Biotechnology Centre.
Previous theoretical studies suggested that the lateral inhibition process can be altered at the neurogenic edges. "However, the importance of this inhibition process had not been appropriately acknowledged. Our study demonstrates the relevance of Delta expression ahead of the neurogenic wavefront, provides predictions and explains developmental alterations resulting from the absence of Delta. It also represents a breakthrough in the theoretical field because it formulates a front propagation mechanism based on self-regulatory mechanisms", points out Marta Ibañes, researcher from the UB.
According to researchers, this study provides a new concept that will attract the attention of neurobiologists who work both in the development of the nervous system and in several pathologies derived from neuronal development.
Left: altered neurogenic wavefront in the absence of Delta. Right: normal neurogenic wavefront.

OpenGL and the Linux desktop
New technologies will change the way you view the objects on your Linux desktop.
The X graphics system has been at the heart of the Unix GUI desktop since 1984. Of course, its horizons expanded slowly. In the early years, no one knew they even needed a graphics subsystem, and if anyone did venture out to try X with one of the few applications that supported it, they needed to be ready for late nights of tinkering. But the X system kept getting better, and the X protocol, with its surrounding technologies, served a key role in the evolution of Linux. When graphic desktop systems came into vogue with the appearance of MacOS and a Mac clone known as Windows, Linux could build its own equivalent graphic desktop upon the foundation of X. Today's Linux graphic desktops are every bit as powerful and far more flexible than the Apple and Windows equivalents, but the simple fact is, developers and hardware vendors – for all platforms – have gotten a bit restless with the ordinary, garden variety X.

This is my first cheek gel and I absolutely love it! I've used cream blushes, which are nice, but don't seem to melt into the skin like the gel blushes. I have this is Natural and a little goes a long way. I like to squirt a little bit out and disperse between both ring fingers and lightly dab it onto the apples of my cheeks and blend up and out. If there is ever an issue with unevenness -- I just take my stippling brush or whatever I used for my foundation and smooth the edges. The color is just as it's called -- natural. It gives a nice color to your face without looking too made up.

I bought a tube of the Pixi Cheek Gel Blush in Sunkissed at Target on clearance. This is the best sheer bronzer that I have ever used. It's a wash of sheer, warm color - not dirty or streaky looking - unfortunately like a lot of bronzers. It's perfect for the fair complexion. The small tube lasts a long time, because all you need is a dab. I don't think Pixi is making the Sunkissed shade anymore which is a complete and total bummer, because this product is wonderful. I will try the Natural shade next.

Based on reviews here this is my first gel blush. I bought the shade natural, and I love it! On my first attempt I applied a little too much and it still looked good. It really does give your skin a healthy glow and it lasts all day. On my combination skin it lasts longer than any powder blush, even high end. Will buy again!

Brilliant product. Lives up to the hype! I have oily, acne prone skin and this stays nearly all day and does not irritate my skin. Gives you an extremely natural looking flush, like you've just been doing something naughty! Even beautiful and non drying as a lipstain.
It may seem pricey at roughly 20 bucks but it's actually a bargain. How much is that easily contaminated unblendable blotchy benetint crap?
You literally cannot mess the application up for this product. Dab a bit on with fingers or brush and blend. There's no trick to using it (I personally hate buying a makeup product then having to research a bunch of tricks on how to make it work. How about you just make a product that works the way it's obviously intended to be used?) It's long lasting yet very blendable, lightweight, concentrated yet sheer, buildable, versatile, decent sanitary packaging (I'd prefer if it had a flip cap) with flattering colours and I believe it will last a super long time. Use it over or under foundation, as a base for powder blushes or with a lip brush for your lips. Seriously brilliant. I only had to repurchase because I lost the tube but will always repurchase!

i absolutely LOVE this blush! I was never a fan of gel blushes because I just didn't feel like it would stay on. But the Gel blush from Pixi lasts all day! And the colors they offer are gorgeous. I bought the one in the color Natural and Im obsessed. It really is like a natural flush to your cheeks like you just workout at the gym. Will definitely buy more. Can't wait to try different colors!

I came across this product when strolling through one of the new targets here in Canada. Seemed a little expensive at I think around 18 dollars. I tested the colour rosy on my hand and it seemed to have faded away into my skin maybe too much but after a few applications it gave a really nice stain. I wasn't completely impressed by the thought that I might have to apply a lot if I were to use it but I decided to buy it and experiment. Anyways at home I realized that it shows up way better when applied over foundation as opposed to bare skin. You just need the tiniest amount and simply dab then leave it on for a few extra seconds before lightly blending and it showed up beautifully. Unreal at how natural it looked on my skin. The next day when I wore it, friends at work complimented me on my nice glow :D. Also the colour seriously lasted all day even with frequent blotting.... there was no colour transfer even with my oily skin. Only other blush that can last that long is my nars exhibitA.
I now am in love with this blush and I'll have to go back and purchase more Colours. I realize now with the right application this tube will last me a long long time and that alone makes the price worth it.

I have this is "Natural", and that describes this color very well. It gives a natural looking flush to your cheeks (like after a nice workout). It's a blendable and buildable formula, and comes in a nice hygienic tube so you can squeeze out just the amount you want. The tube is tiny, but a little goes a long way (it's pretty pigmented for a gel blush) and will last you a long time. It's kinda pricey for a drugstore blush (close to Clinique and MAC prices). It has really nice staying power, and lasts almost all day.

I never wore blush before this because I was afraid of looking like a clown but the color is very buildable and sheer, it's basically 100% foolproof.
I have it in Rosy, and I have pretty pale skin but I can control the color very well.
The gel is a great consistency. It doesn't dry too quickly so you can blend it well. It also feels SUPER refreshing when you apply it. If you use liquid foundation, make sure you let it set for a minute or two before applying the blush because the blending will look a bit streaky.
I can't say I've had the best experience with long wear as it sounds like other users have, but I was previously using a tinted moisturizer that shifted around quite a bit so maybe that'll change with my new long wear liquid foundation.
Either way, it's not a problem because it's so easy to apply. If you see it fading, dab a bit on and you're good to go for the rest of the day. Powder isn't necessary.

I have one in Flushed which is a very sheer cherry/wine color.It appears very dark purple in the packaging(which I really like by the way).I find it best applies when i dot i bit onto the back of my hand and use a stippling brush to apply this onto my cheeks.It gives a very nice,healthy look and appears quite natural depending on how much you apply.You can layer a powder blush over it to intensify it and make it last even longer than it already does.Even with my oily skin,it stays on well all day.It is more expensive than you'd expect for something coming from the Target beauty section($18 for .45 fl oz),but I really like this and think it performs like a high end product.

"Rosy:" a sheer but buildable raspberry red. It's a cute color that looks rosy without being blotchy. Perhaps a little too rosy for my Asian skin, but I imagine it would be perfect for cooler tones. I find the best way to apply it is by dabbing a bit on the back of my hand and then picking up a dot on my fingers and patting it on each cheek. The packaging is amazing-- so sanitary! No need for dipping in a brush.
"Peachy:" matches my warm skin tone much better. A lighter pinky shade, kind of like you'd see on a Pixar character. :) Looks very natural and stays wonderfully. I use this over my tinted moisturizer. Love the color!

Well, at least he'll have an interesting story as to how he got his name:
"Well, my dad fell asleep at the computer one day, and after his cheek hit the keyboard, he looked up at the screen and knew the almighty typo before his eyes was destined to be my name. On the bright side, I could have been #$^^*@."

Read the next strip right now
I was told that all cars had a self destruct buttons as a child so that I wouldnt push stuff. As far as I knew changing the radio station was a gamble with my life.
Still, couldnt stand country music!
There is this one guy that keeps sending me super creepy messages on Twitter, that could be you too!

Another, guy on left not wearing belt the way it was designed too be.
Ha just awesome. I want a self destruct button.
I too like to push buttons. however mine are of the people kind
Well either you change the stations or you die, either way at least you won't have to listen to country music.
Everyone wants to push a shiny-candy-like-red-button as soon as they see one just to see what will happen! Heck the bigger the button the bigger the desire to push it!
O_o! LOL!! (^_ \) hahahaha
LOL!! Love it. Frank continues to remind me of an old friend, so totally dead-pan you die laughing.
If I ever have kids, I'm gonna try that line out on them.
This actually made me laugh out loud
Whaaaaa.... They told me the buttons play a screamo version of ''Rick Roll'' (So I never push them) o____o;;
honestly as much as i like this comic the road sign ahead sign steals the show XD
so convenient the self destruction button is near the AC controls ^^
A brother gotta have priorities.
"road sign ahead" lol nice.
xD GO ON THEN. HE SAID DON'T PUSH DIDN'T HE?
Well said, mr. poor-priority-assesment-unconcerned-with-safety-yellow-car-driving man. Well said.
so their van is European(possibly) and Frank's car is American? O__o;
ah well, that's a nice license plate he's got.
ah well, that's a nice license plate he's got.
I always thought Frank's car would also include a "passenger eject" button, just for those times when he doesnt care for whoever is in the car with him, or for the fun of it when it's Wayne... XD
If it could reset it to factory default then why did they put it on the dash board and not on the steering wheel, in the glove compartment, or on the main panel?
I also like how Frank is just so...psychotic. And okay, is Frank Guy's father or something? Cuz I remember a strip where Frank was showing childhood pics of Guy, but she always calls him Frank.
Best road sign ever
It would stink if you got really hot in that car and missed the A-C button.
i probably put a button on my car just to tell people its a self destruction button to freak them out
This comic just keeps bringing the funny.
I like country music~
It's a rolling deathtrap. And a pretty sweet looking one as well.
Man In Black style...
death trap car XD
Screw that! I'd press that button as soon as I got in the car! Then I'd hit the self destruct and hit the ground running. >D
I think that it would self-destruct immediately. Just b/c I like thinking of worst case scenarios.
Hehe, all the more reason to push it!! The mystery is half the fun!
I love the little UFO button
I'm glad the road sign is warning them of road signs.
Something always happens when you push buttons.
what a very ... bad place to put the self destruction i can see myself pushing it by accident on a hot day if i had a car with that option o -o XD

Picture: Rosie O'Donnell And Guest Rosie's Building Dreams for Kids Gala at The New York Marriott Marquis New York City, USA - 19.09.11
Rosie ODonnell, the famous US chat show host, has announced that she's engaged to partner Michelle Rounds whom she started dating in the late-summer of this year. Congratulations to the pair, even if the news seems quick. O'Donnell has a history of relationships since coming out back in 2002 and has been married before - to former Nickelodeon marketing executive Kelli Carpenter back in 2004. Carpenter moved out in 2007 though, despite the pair being parents of three adopted children; O'Donnell then went on to date Tracy Kachtick-Anders for two years, splitting up in February this year.
Given that it's perhaps not surprising O'Donnell has announced an engagement so soon after meeting Rounds; a source told Us Weekly that the television personality's other half "is very attractive and friendly. Rosie was really proud and showing her off... They seem really happy." Speaking on 'The Rosie Show' the 49 year-old had told her audience that she expected to marry over the festive season. The pair made their debut as a couple only in September at the Rosie Theatre Kids Gala in New York.
Elsewhere it's been announced that O'Donnell will appear as a special guest in the second season of Lisa Kudrow's 'Web Therapy' next year. Reuters reports that other cameos will come from Conan O Brien and MINNIE DRIVER.

Though the Wilson brothers just started playing golf a week ago, their swings look fundamentally sound. They know the proper grip and stance. Their ability to swing the club and make solid contact with the ball is lacking, as one might expect from beginners, but on this final day of lessons at the Russian Jack Springs Golf Course, making good contact might be the last priority.
Chandlar Wilson, 10, and Connor Wilson, 13, are playing in a scramble where the foursome of youngsters gets to select the best shot of the group and hit the next shot from there, so a poor shot is not the end of the world. More important are the nine core values that the First Tee of Alaska youth golf program strives to teach: honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy and judgment.
Whether it's strong values or strong golf skills, the sessions are making an impact on the kids.
"Be respectful and when people are talking, tell them to shush," said Matthew Ward, a sixth grader at Clark Middle School.
"Just relax your hands, turn your shoulders and don't hit it really hard," said Bernard Mullen, a fifth-grader at Ptarmigan Elementary.
First Tee of Alaska, a non-profit organization designed to teach kids ages 7 to 18 golf and life skills, is experiencing a resurgence under the guidance of local golf professional, Billy Bomar.
When Bomar took over as executive director in January 2009, 56 kids were in the program, down from about 400 in 2007, before controversy erupted over plans to bulldoze acres of trees to make room for First Tee facilities at Russian Jack Springs Park. Bomar estimates 300 kids will participate this summer.
The increase in participation is a result of adding the Anchorage Golf Course as a First Tee facility this year, creating a partnership with Brotherhood Inc.-- a non-profit organization aiding youth development in Anchorage -- and making winter visits to schools to introduce golf to students.
Bomar, 47, is the director of instruction at AGC and worked at the course off and on since 1990, a connection that he said made it easy to bring the First Tee to AGC.
First Tee of Alaska began in 2006 with intentions of using Russian Jack as the primary facility, but the program suffered a major setback in 2008 when city plans to build a new driving range and upgrade the greens and tee boxes on the nine-hole course met opposition from the community when it was discovered the improvements required 23 acres of trees to be cleared. People took action, fighting for the trees to stay and the course to remain as it was.
Russian Jack is still in use as a First Tee facility, but the course holds only one advantage over AGC -- it is empty most of the time, so the kids can play practice rounds. AGC has a driving range and real practice greens, but almost no course time for kids, because the course is so busy.
Bomar said kids who join the First Tee program are welcome to join at either facility. AGC has already hosted four and has eight remaining and Russian Jack has hosted one and has two remaining. Each session attracts about 20 kids.
Scholarships are available for those unable to afford the fees. In 2009 approximately 25 scholarships were awarded, Bomar said, and he estimates the number will be about the same this year. He said nobody has ever been turned away from the program for inability to pay. To earn a scholarship to the First Tee, interested kids are asked to write a brief letter on why they would like to join.
Chandlar and Connor Wilson are both scholarship members. They are home-schooled and heard of the First Tee through a family friend.
"You meet a lot of new friends," said Chandlar.
"It's a great environment," said Connor. "The coaches are nice and kids are nice."
Their mother, Barbara Wilson, said the boys come home from golf lessons and teach their dad how to play. Now, the whole family is starting to get interested and excited about a sport they can play together.
"My 10-year-old is finally better than my 13-year old at something," she said. "It's really boosted his confidence."
The Wilson brothers went through a session at Russian Jack, a facility Bomar says has potential but needs upgrades to provide an adequate golfing experience.
"We could do 100 kids a day out here," he said.
With only one hole of more than 300 yards, the 1,934-yard course is the perfect length for kids to learn the game. But the turf-covered, concrete-like greens make it impossible to teach pitching, chipping or any shot that requires the ball to stop. The tee boxes are aged, rubber mats full of gaping holes, and the kids have to pound tees in to the mats, using a golf ball like a hammer.
In effort to raise money and awareness, First Tee teamed with Brotherhood Inc, to hold a two-day tournament open to adults earlier this month. Russian Jack hosted the first day, and Bomar was glad the adults got a chance to see Russian Jack's shortcomings.
Bomar said city officials told him money is earmarked for improvements to Russian Jack, but specifics as to what is planned for renovations are not known. There was also a $50,000 state grant awarded to the First Tee this year, but decisions haven't been made on where that money will be spent, he said.
In the meantime, kids will continue learning golf and life lessons, in some cases pondering the possibility -- or the impossibility -- of a round full of aces.
"It'd be pretty hard to score an 18 on all the holes," said Chase James, an 8th grader at Hanshew Middle School.

Sixty years ago last month there was
established in Adelaide an institution that
for nearly 30 years occupied a prominent place in the educational life of this city - the late Mr. John Lorenzo Young's school, styled "The Adelaide Educational Institu- tion." And to-night old scholars of that establishment will foregather from nearly all parts of the Commonwealth to honor the memory of one they loved so dearly, and whose influence, though he has been dead these 30 years, still lives in the com- munity. -
Mr. Young, whose photograph appears
above, claimed Cornwall for his native land, and received part of his education at King's College. He devoted a con- siderable amount of time to the study of engineering, science, and mathematics, and before coming to Australia he tra-
The late Mr. J. L. Young.
velled extensively on the Continent. Shortly after his arrival he felt the al- lurements of the Victorian goldfields, and spent a couple of years in the neighboring State. Upon his return to Adelaide he took up the teaching profession as the se- rious business of his life, opening his edu- cational establishment in a small building at the rear of the old Ebenezer Chapel, at the east end of Rundle-street. In the management of this school he was ably assisted by his brother (Mr. Oliver Young)
and Mr. Thomas Bennett. Afterwards it was conducted in Stephens-place, on the site now occupied bv Messrs. Good, Toms, and Co.'s warehouse and when the Stow Memorial Church was built the Adelaide Educational Institution found a home in the old Congregational Church building in Freeman-street, where Messrs. Simpson and Sons' factory now stands. During all these years boarders were accommodated at his home in Young-street, Parkside where eventuallv the school was conducted, the latter address.
Towards the close of the year 1880 Mr.
Young, whose brother had returned to Cornwall, decided to close the school and revisit his native land. His wife and family preceded him on the homeward journey, travelling via the Cape of Good Hope, and he sailed in the ship John Elder in 1881. Buring the voyage he suf- fered a good deal from sciatica, and on the evening of Julv 26 died in the Red Sea from an apopletic seizure. His re- mains were buried at Eca.
Throughout his long career he had many convincing evidences of the love enter- tained for him by his scholars, and prior to his departure he received a presentation of over 300 sovereigns from old scholars in all parts of the State. In those days Mr. Young's educational establishment was one of the three principal teaching insti- tutions in Adelaide, and its roll included the names of many scholars who later in life played ah important and honored part in the business and public life of South Australia, and, indeed, of the Common-
wealth; for they are now to be found in all quarters of Australia. It is interest- ing to know that the first scholar entered at the school in August, 1852, was the late Mr. Caleb Peacock, afterwards Mayor of Adelaide and a distinguished citi- zen. The second to be entered was Mr. John Partridge, who, it is under- stood, will attend to-night's jubilee gather- ing. Another prominent scholar was the Right Hon. C. C. Kingston, who attained very high rank indeed in Australian pub- lic affairs. Scores of others now promi- nently identified with public movements and business enterprises all over Australia could be named. Among these are his Honor Mr. Justice Murray, who recently was appointed to tne Supreme Court bench of South Australia; Mr. Mortimer Giles (Registrar-General of Deeds at the Lands Titles Office), Mr. L. H. Sholl (Un der-Secretarv), Mr. J. W. Jones (secretary to the Commissioner of Public Works). Mr. R. W. Smith (Deputy Commissioner of Taxes), Dr. R. E. Harrold, Messrs. W. B. Carr (chairman of the Adelaide Stock Exchange). B. A. Moulden, S. J. Jacobs, P. Wood, W. H. Phillipps, F. Johnson, A. W. Marshall, W. and H. Bickford, F. W. Bullock, M. S. Clark. F. W. Sims, H. W. Smith. J. T. Fitch. E. S. Hughes, R. B. Robin, James P. Roberts, W. Gollin (head of the firm of Gollin & Co., Sydney), W. Sandover (Perth, W.A.), and hun- dreds of others scattered throughout the land.
Since the movement was inaugurated for the celebration of the diamond jubilee a suggestion, made by Mr. Gollin, of Syd- ney, that a Universitv scholarship should be founded in honor of their old master has been taken up with enthusiasm. Mr Gollin has promised £25: Mr. Sandover,
of Perth, another £25; Mr. Jacobs a simi-. lar amount, and another like sum from an anonymous donor brings the total already promised up to £100, so no doubt the scheme will be finalised at an early date. A motion to appoint Messrs. S. J. Jacobs. P. Wood, J. T. Fitch, and E. S. Hughes a committee to give effect to the proposal will be submitted to the gathering to- night. Thus will the memory of a much
loved schoolmaster be kept for ever green
in Adelaide.
It is requested that at the reunion so- cial to-night all old scholars should write in the roll-book their names and addresses, together with the years of entering, and leaving the school.

you didn't miss anything. it was a horrible thing that happened and totally unexpected. My SO was sleeping on the couch with Eliza and she didn't have enough air. I want everyone to understand that he did NOT lay on her, he did NOT smother her, he did NOT touch her.. how the autopsy people explained it to me..say there is suuppose to be 3 feet between 2 people there was only a foot and a half. there just wasn't enough air flow. this was an accident that could of happened to anyone and he did nothing wrong. We all know you shouldn't sleep with your child on the couch but everyone has done it.
