A disappointing result. If 6-5 is anything to go by, how can it possibly pass in the full house? I hope we're all very pleasantly surprised.
Its not disappointing , its going to go to a full vote in the house. which it needs 60 votes to pass. Dont diminish equal rights because it was not 11-0 vote. Anything that progresses the next step is perfect for me.
Well then, we'll find out if there are 60 votes to pass it when the time comes.
Initially disappointing, but then the bill has still passed this hurdle. If it similarly only passes the House by one vote it will still pass into law. I'm keeping fingers crossed for our American friends in Illinois.
"Kellie Fiedorek, an official with the Alliance Defending Freedom, argued that the bill "advances religious intolerance and discrimination towards Illinois citizens with sincerely held religious beliefs.""
How on EARTH can marriage equality be considered discrimination? I've asked that question time and time again, and nobody can provide an answer. What? Do they consider it discrimination because we refuse to tolerate their intolerance? If so, that is like the schoolyard bully crying discrimination because his or her bullying is no longer tolerated. Well…..TOO BAD!
That said, it would be wonderful to see my neighbor Illinois pass marriage equality in that state. It will be a cold day in hell before my state of Indiana does it, but at least it will be closer to home.
Do the right thing, Illinois!
Yes I agree Robert,
The Committee vote was way too close at 6 to 5!
Gee whizz that means we have a Democrat bigot who voted against the Marriage Equality Bill or SB10!
What's his dam excuse!
The typical Religious Taliban Republicans excuse is always the usual that the world will end and that gay marriage leads to polygamy, incest and beastiality, etc
Name and shame the bigot I say!
Lets hope the bill or SB10 passes the full floor of the House and finally GETS SIGNED INTO LAW!
Once the Governor (who is a gay marriage supporter and Democrat by the way) signs the bill into law – the law becomes effective 30 days later. Most laws in Illinois under the Illinois Constitution is once a bill is signed by the Governor – the effective date of the law must be 30 days later!
Same with what happened in New York State on passing gay marriage back in 2011!
THERE IS NO BALLOT PROCESS to repeal laws in Illinois, so once the Governor signs the bill into law – the law is safe!
The bill needs at least 60 votes to pass as a minimum!
There are 71 Democrats in the Illinois House (thats a super-majority)!

Study: Diabetic heart attacks and strokes falling
NEW YORK -- In the midst of the diabetes epidemic, a glimmer of good news: Heart attacks, strokes and other major complications from the disease are plummeting.
Over the last two decades, the rates of heart attacks and strokes among diabetics fell by more than 60 percent, a new federal study shows. The research also confirms earlier reports of drastic declines in diabetes-related kidney failure and amputations.
The drop is mainly attributed to better screening, medicines and care. The improvements came even as the number of U.S. adults with diabetes more than tripled in those 20 years.
"It is great news," said Dr. John Buse, a University of North Carolina diabetes specialist, of the drop in rates.
"The prognosis for folks with diabetes has improved dramatically over the last two decades, at least for those with good access to care," Buse said in an e-mail. He was not involved in the study.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention research is reported in today's New England Journal of Medicine.
Diabetes is a disease in which sugar builds up in the blood. The most common form is tied to obesity, and the number of diabetics has ballooned with the rise in obesity. Today, about 1 in 10 U.S. adults has the disease, and it is the nation's seventh leading cause of death, according to the CDC.
Obese people are already at higher risk for heart attacks and strokes. But diabetics seem to have more narrowing of their blood vessels -- a condition that can further foster those problems.
In the 1990s, key studies showed that diabetics could keep their blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol under control.

Kid Cudi shoots for the moon, but is slow to lift off

At 6 feet and 208 pounds, Ziggler is no slouch, but he's not going to overpower many of his opponents, either. However, what the man nicknamed the "Show Off" can do is flat-out wrestle. »Read Full Article(2)

Runes are a type of character used for both writing and as magical language by Germanic tribes before the adoption of the Latin Alphabet, and used by various magicians in order to cast spells.
Runes can be inscribed using a variety of mediums and surfaces, including carvings, ink, ice crystals, water and blood among others. One particular rune magician, Stiyl Magnus, makes use of mass-photocopied and laminated rune cards in order to cast his magic.
Due to the fact that a single rune can have multiple meanings, different spells can be produced from one rune, even more so with combinations of multiple runes. Multiple copies of the same rune can also be used to bolster the effects of a spell, though in a battle of runic magic, quality can top quantity. If one can read the runes, they can identify the effects of the spell, and if they can erase or interfere with the rune, they can alter or cancel the spell.
As with most languages, runes have changed depending on time and location, and there exist several different runic alphabets with varying numbers of characters, with 24 making up the Basic Futhark. There is also a special Final Rune, said to only be known to the chief Norse god Odin and is a key component in the completion and empowerment of the spiritual item Gungnir.(Learn more...)

How about concerning themselves with employee issues such as mobility, flexibility, supporting family responsibilities, telecommuting to expand the available applicant pool, education, training, pay equity. When VSEA stops spending so much time and resource in maintaining incompetent and mediocre employees, and starts returning value to the taxpayers, then the taxpayers will elect pro-union legislators. As a former state employee and VSEA member, I have walked long distances to get to my workplace and have had to cope with blazing hot and freezing cold buildings.

Ryan Reynolds get his super hero franchise with 'Deadpool'
After years of speculation and endless questions about the no brainer casting of Ryan Reynolds as the super-speedster The Flash, the Canadian actor can breathe easy. The former "Blade Trinity" star is finally getting his own superhero franchise, but he won't be wearing the scarlet and gold. Instead, sources at Fox have indicated that Reynolds will be appearing in a solo "Deadpool" feature film.
Reynolds originated the character in this past weekend's box office champ, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," which opened to an impressive $87 million. A popular Marvel Comics character in his own right (and currently starring in a solo series), Deadpool is a wisecracking, kick-ass mercenary with mutant healing powers that rival Wolverine's. In fact, while he appeared dead at the official end of "Wolverine," the studio brought Reynolds back last month to shoot one of two easter eggs at the end of the picture that show Deadpool far from finished.
Lauren Shuler Donner, the longtime mutant den mother at Fox, and Marvel Studios will produce the feature which is currently out to screenwriters. It's unclear how soon "Deadpool" can begin production or whether it will beat a similarly in development "Wolverine" sequel to theaters. As for Reynolds starring as The Flash, that may be the only truly dead news to report.
Reynolds will display his more familiar comedic talents alongside Sandra Bullock in next month's rom com "The Proposal."

Butcher and Hussain make it England's day
Close England 296 for 3 (Hussain 108*, E Smith 40*) v South Africa
Nasser Hussain screams his approval as he reaches his century
The more things change, the more things stay the same. After enduring the month from hell, in which England's fortunes plummeted to their lowest level in four years, it was left to two elder statesmen, Mark Butcher and Nasser Hussain, to pull the team out of its slough. By the close, each had scored a century in a total of 296 for 3, and England had taken command in a Test for the first time in the series.
It was far from one-way traffic. After winning an important toss, England were reduced to 29 for 2 inside the first hour, and it appeared that a repeat of that fateful first day at Lord's was on the cards. But Butcher and Hussain, in their utterly contrasting styles, turned the game around by adding 189 for the third wicket. And by the time Ed Smith had overcome his understandable nerves to add a fluent 40 not out on debut, his namesake Graeme had a furrowed brow for the first time in three weeks.
Smith, though, is one for the future. This day belonged to two of those players who might have been consigned to the past if the recent flock of vultures had had their way.
Hussain, typically, was all grit and defiance, and in the early part of his innings it seemed that any portion of his bat would suffice to keep South Africa at bay. Butcher, on the other hand, was all cover-drives and fluency, and just as had been the case in the second innings at Lord's, he was in superb touch. He had given it away on that occasion, but today there was no let-up. When he wasn't thumping straight, he was slapping long-hops over gully for four, and he brought up his eighth Test century by whipping Andrew Hall through midwicket for his 21st four.
Butcher did have one moment of good fortune on 41, when he edged Makhaya Ntini just wide of second slip, and Ntini eventually made the breakthrough when he angled one across Butcher's bows and found a thin edge (218 for 3). But, on the whole, it was not Ntini's day. His fortunes were summed up when he came round the wicket to vary the angle to Butcher. His idiosyncratic sideways leap meant that he was warned for running on the pitch twice in as many overs, and he quickly returned to his familiar over-the-wicket line.
At the other end, Hussain grew in confidence and arrogance as his innings progressed. His off-side strokes - in particular one furious square-drive off Andrew Hall - reeked of vengeance, and he celebrated his 13th Test century with a flurry of invective directed at everyone and no-one in particular. He reached the close on 108 not out, after adding 78 with Smith, who began with a near run-out and a Chinese-cut off Pollock, but was soon booming out his already-fabled front-foot strokes like a veteran.
England dominated for two and a half sessions, but their position hadn't looked too promising in the first hour. Vaughan was pinned down by a typically accurate spell from Pollock, before squirting a low chance to Herschelle Gibbs at third slip (7 for 1), while Trescothick alternated between punchy and cagey in his 24. After surviving an intriguing duel with Ntini, he nibbled at the innocuous-looking Hall, and edged to Boucher in that now-customary fashion (29 for 2).
At that stage South Africa held all the aces, especially as Jacques Kallis had returned to the side for the first time since the death of his father. But his bowling, understandably, was rusty, while Paul Adams was unable to rediscover the form that collected him nine wickets in an innings against Kent last week. He was restricted to a stock role, and the occasional chirp at Smith from under the helmet at short leg. England took full advantage, and suddenly, this see-saw summer seems to be tipping ever-so-slightly back where it started.

"Paint It, Black" is now available digitally. Let's support the single!
|Category: "Paint It Black"
via RollingStone.com: Ciara, R&B's still-reigning princess, is taking a dark, psychedelic turn with her new song, featured in The Last Witch Hunter. For the action film starring Vin Diesel, out October 23rd, the singer tackles the Rolling Stones' bewitching "Paint It Black," and reimagines it as a syrupy, mesmerizing slow-burner. Hear the track below, and read Ciara's thoughts on the Stones, Missy Elliott and what comes next after Jackie.
Is "Paint It Black" a song that you've wanted to cover for a while now?
No, to be honest with you, it was actually a surprise for me when I got the call from Universal Publishing and Lionsgate. When they asked me to do this, I was like, "Absolutely. This would be an honor." I had never thought to cover this song. It was never on my radar to cover it, but when the opportunity came along, I was very thrilled, because I love what the producer Adrianne Gonzales did. The direction that she went in was actually a sound I've always wanted to play with, and it just didn't get any better than being able to cover a Rolling Stones song. I feel like it pushes the edge and the limit for me, in reference to what people probably expect from me. So this was so many cool things in one. It was a huge honor, and then creatively I just got to really have some fun that I don't usually do in my music.
I feel like I've been hearing a psychedelic-rock revival in R&B and hip-hop, from A$AP Rocky's album to Beyoncé covering the Doors at Made in America. Is that a direction you want to explore?
As an artist, I think it's important to always keep growing, and I definitely want to keep challenging myself. When moments like this come along, they're the perfect opportunity because they allow me to discover something new creatively. I definitely was inspired from the process, and I know that I will be working with Adrianne more. But also, I think that music is also in a very cool time where everyone's being very expressive, and it kind of also has a retro thing happening where hints of the old school are starting to come back into today's music. This is one of those cool moments where it reminds you of how great music was, how people are really experimenting right now and how it's cool to be able to do that today. And so our new generation of fans and people, the people that really paved the way for all of us artists, like the Rolling Stones …

With no bargaining talks scheduled between SEPTA and transit workers, the president of the agency's largest union accused it of trying to provoke a strike.
The contract between SEPTA and 4,700 city bus drivers, subway operators and maintenance workers represented by Transport Workers Union Local 234 expired at midnight Friday. TWU leaders did not call for an immediate strike, saying they would wait at least until after suburban driver and mechanic contracts expired during the first week of April.
In a letter dated Friday, TWU Local 234 president Willie Brown accused SEPTA of dawdling in negotiations and spurning a union offer of a two-year economic pact.

OAKLAND, Calif. - Stephanie Miyashiro sat at attention in her wheelchair, holding a poster of a friend, also a wheelchair user.
Her voice brimming with emotion, Miyashiro told fellow protesters rallying in front of Oakland's federal building on the first Global Day of Action on Military Spending, "What grieves me most about what's going on is that I think some of our friends are going to die."
Turning to the poster, she said, "His name is Tom Ross; I want you to know he is here in spirit. He says his attendants keep him bathed, fed, dressed and medicated, and with their help he is able to go out into the world." With their help, she said, Ross - who has master's degrees in theology and creative writing and has taught at San Francisco State University - "has had a life. But if his attendants get cut, he doesn't know if he will be able to stay at home."
Noting that it costs much less to keep people in their homes with attendants' help than to institutionalize them, Miyashiro added, "I also realize nursing homes are privatized and make profits. I'm always looking for who's doing this."
The Oakland gathering - organized by Bay Area United for Peace and Justice and the New Priorities Campaign - was among San Francisco Bay Area actions including literature distributions at 16 rapid transit stations during the morning rush hour. More evening commute hour distributions lay ahead.
Worldwide, more than 100 events were planned in over 35 countries on April 12, the day after the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) released new figures showing worldwide military spending reached $1.6 trillion in 2010. SIPRI said the U.S. was responsible for the vast majority of last year's increase in world military spending.
Oakland demonstrators heard statements from U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., and Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson - both of whom represent city residents - calling attention to military spending's huge cost in human services, and the dangers to the country's future posed by the Republicans' "road to ruin" budget proposals.
They also heard former Laney College Black Student Union president Jabari Shaw say, "We've got to come out like they did in the '60s; we've got to surround these federal buildings. There have to be thousands of us out - it's not going to stop until we make it stop!"
Pablo Paredes, a veteran and parent activist, told the crowd, "It's not some abstract budget issue. It's a personal issue that's closing our lifelines, that's killing people abroad and killing people here at home. Take the budget personally, because the budget is the way the state invests your future."
Although last year U.S. military spending grew at a slower rate than previously, SIPRI said, it still accounted for $19.6 billion of the worldwide $20.6 billion increase over 2009.
The U.S. has increased its military spending by 81 percent since 2001, and now accounts for 43 percent of the global total, six times its nearest rival, China, according to Sam Perlo-Freedman, who heads SIPRI's Military Expenditure Project.

Being a large and scary creature in the forest, Ursaring are quite often left alone and therefore misunderstood, as they only attack when provoked first, it is very rare for them to initiated the attack or fight. However, they are not to be underestimated, as when enraged they are lethal to the opposing party, with their claws, muscles and in general their power set being wide and impressive and full of powerful attacks that they can use at their disposal. They evolve from their pre-evolution Teddiursa at level 30. Due to the two pokemon being a of the normal elemental type, they can grow to have a vast and powerful array of different moves that are at their disposal. However, they often use moves that are to do with their claws and in the case of Ursaring, their strength. Notable Ursaring Paul's Ursaring Paul's Ursaring was first seen in the episode 'Different Strokes For Different Blokes'. Where it had become enraged and was chasing and attacking Ash and his friends after they had become lost in it's territory in Bewilder Forest. After running from the pokemon, the characters exited the forest, only to bump into Ash's rival Paul, who in turn used one of his own pokemon (his Chimchar) to weaken the Ursaring, and then capture it for his own. After checking it's moves with his pokedex, he decided not to release the pokemon like he does with weaker pokemon he captures, as Ursaring was already very strong. Ursaring was next seen in the episode 'Top-Down Training!' where it was used to help Paul rescue his Chimchar from Team Rocket, which was successful. He was then seen again being used to help train Chimchar by Paul in the episode 'Glory Blaze.' Ursaring and Paul were next seen battling Ash and his Chimchar, in the episode 'Chim - Charred', despite being obviously stronger than the small fire pokemon, and almost defeating it in the heated battle, Ursaring ultimately lost after Chimchar lost control of it's ability Blaze, and then defeated Ursaring. In the episode 'A Pyramid Rage!' battling Brandon's Regice, being paralyzed by Regice's attack zap cannon. Paul then gave up on his own pokemon as it couldn't attack, and let it be defeated as Brandon returned his pokemon and sent out Regirock to finish off Ursaring with stone edge. The first time that Paul and Ash have a full battle with one another was in the episode 'Evolving Strategies!' and Ursaring was used in that battle. With the move bulk-up, it easily defeated Ash's Staraptor and Buizel before being recalled by Paul. When being sent out again, he defeated Pikachu, after it was paralysed which activated Ursarin'g ability guts, which gave it an extra power boost needed to defeat the electric pokemon. However, once again, Ursaring was defeated by Ash's Chimchar. Ursaring was seen once again, in Paul's team of pokemon that was used to battle Barry's team of pokemon, the episode was 'Casting A Paul On Barry'. Originally battling Barry's Empoleon, Ursaring gained the upper hand, so Barry switched his pokemon for Hitmonlee, the match was very close, and after having it's guts ability activated once again (after having been burnt by Hitmonlee's blaze kick) Ursaring defeated Hitmonlee for good. However, after fighting against Empoleon once again, Ursaring was defeated. Ursaring once again appeared very briefly in the episode 'Battling A Thaw In Relations!' along with some of Paul's other pokemon, Torterra, Weaville and Honckcrow. They were all at Reggie's house along with Paul himself.

The RSPB are very concerned at the spate of fires that have raged across Northern Ireland over the past week.
Small-scale burning of heather carried out over the autumn and winter months is a traditional method of re-generating heather and can be very beneficial to farmers and wildlife, providing fresh heather for grazing and a mosaic of habitat for wildlife. However, the timing and extent of the recent fires has been disastrous.
Anne-Marie McDevitt, Conservation Manager at RSPB NI, said, "The damage these fires have caused can't be under-estimated. They have put local people's welfare at risk, posed a threat to farmers livelihoods and caused huge damage to heather, gorse and woodland habitats and the wildlife that depend on these.
"The timing could not have been worse, right at the start of the breeding season. Many of the upland areas damaged, including Cuilcagh Mountain in Co Fermanagh and the Mourne Mountains in Co Down, are designated as Areas of Special Scientific Interest (ASSI), Special Protection Areas (SPA) and Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), which means that they are nationally and internationally important as habitats in their own right or for the species that depend on them.
"Heather moorland is home to some of our rarest and most stunning wildlife, plant species such as sundew and bog cotton, birds such as hen harrier and skylark and mammals such as the Irish hare."
These bogland areas as well as being areas of natural beauty also provide essential public goods – they filter water and store it, provide us with clean water and protect us from flash flooding. They also act as a natural carbon store, helping to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the environment.
Ms McDevitt said, "Once damaged, the beauty of these habitats is diminished and these habitats no longer provide these essential public services. This can result in a knock on effect on our economy and ultimately on the taxpayer, as the NI government deals with the cost of water discoloration and localised flooding and the loss of tourist spend."
The RSPB are very concerned about the news that some of these fires may have been started deliberately. Under the newly formed Wildlife and Natural Environment Act it is an offence to recklessly damage or cause disturbance to birds' nests, eggs, young and protected wildlife (certain animals, plants and refuges). The sentencing for wildlife crime has also been strengthened under the new Act - fines have increased to £5000 and there is a maximum two year prison sentence for persistent and serious offenders.

James Gandolfini may go to a 'Big Dead Place' for HBO
'Sopranos' star could produce and possibly star in Antarctica dramedy
For the second year in a row, HBO has set up a property as a potential producing and starring vehicle for James Gandolfini.
According to Deadline.com, "Breaking Bad" writer-producer Peter Gould is developing Nicholas Johnson's darkly comedic memoir "Big Dead Place" for Gandolfini.
The book focuses on Johnson's time working for the U.S. Antarctic Program at McMurdo Station. [We'd recommend Werner Herzog's documentary "Encounters at the End of the World" for a sense of the world of McMurdo.]
It wasn't so long ago -- last May, in fact -- that HBO recruited a writer to develop the French-Canadian comedy "Taxi-22" as a possible producing-starring vehicle for Gandolfini, who won three Emmys as star of "The Sopranos." That project apparently didn't move forward.
Gandolfini's Attaboy Films production shingle has had a deal with HBO since 2006. The "In the Loop" and "Where The Wild Things Are" star is a producer on HBO's upcoming "Hemingway & Gellhorn," starring Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman.

Bangla PM Sheikh Hasina's pic cooking 'pulao' a hit with media

Doting mother! A picture of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in which she is seen cooking chicken pulao in her kitchen to celebrate her son's birthday was today extensively carried by the media here. The Bangladeshi media carried the private photograph of Hasina cooking in the kitchen to celebrate the birthday of her 42-year- old expatriate son Sajib Wajed Joy, who posted the picture on his Facebook page as a "special treat" for all.
Major newspapers picked up the picture in an apparent deviation from the routine of projecting leading political personalities like Hasina in serious political engagements or gestures. "A special treat for everyone. The Prime Minister cooking chicken pulao for me! Her pulao is really the best I have ever tasted," read the caption by Joy, an IT expert living in the US. Hasina, wearing a kitchen apron, is seen holding a wooden spoon stirring chicken in a pot in one hand and holding the pot with the other.
Known as a good cook among her closer circle people, Hasina two decades ago joined volunteers in preparing chapati breads for cyclone victims in coastlines. A senior journalist recalled Hasina at that time taught the young volunteers the techniques of pressing the paste of wheat flour that needs to be pressed with a traditional roller to make them in proper shape, preparing the "rotis" herself. Joy's 42nd birthday was celebrated in a low-key manner with family members mother Hasina, wife Kristine Overmyre, daughter Sophia, sister Saima Hossain Putul and her four children -- at the prime minister's official residence.
The family gathering came months after at least two pro-opposition newspapers carried reports that Joy's US-born wife had divorced him after growing differences. The issue also dominated the social media like Facebook for several days. Joy or the premier's family, however, preferred to ignore the media report issuing no protest. Though, later the report appeared false as he recently came to Bangladesh along with Overmyre and their daughter and attended several social functions, including one at the presidential palace.

Milani Baked Blush Reviews
LOVE MILANI PRODUCTS!!Like many others, I caved into peer pressure and finally bought this product. People have raved online about how this is the closest dupe to the NARS blush. It's about $7-$8 a pop at drugstores. I really love blushes and have tried out many others before. Overall, this is a coral blush with a little bit of shimmer. It is pretty easy to apply, and the color control is easy(as in, one swipe wo...read moreuldn't make you look like a clown, and a couple more swipes will give you more color). I did not like the brush that came with the blush, so I do not use it. The brush breaks down the cake and makes the powder go everywhere. I would recommend a different, softer brush for application. It makes it much easier! (go cheap and use an elf brush. they're about $1 a pop at Target, $3 at most). This coral color really does look okay on any skin tone, but I personally think I look better with a pinker color. Additionally, this blush oxidizes on me, and turns redder/oranger as the day progresses. Not only that, if you buff the blush(rub it directly onto skin with the makeup brush to give blush friction so it warms up on your skin), you can see the color changing on your skin. I have fair skin with a cool skin tone. I found the blush does have pretty good staying power. For the record, I use this on top of primer, foundation, and powder. Additionally, I have used this product for weeks and I can see there is still a lot of product left. This should last a long time. 4/5 would recommend for a starter, since it is cheap, easy to use, accessible, and travel size. Would not buy Luminoso again since I look better in pink than coral. I will probably try another color from this line though. The blush is pretty good quality for its price! — 2 years, 5 months agohappylittlemess | 71 reviews

great!I bought this blush in the shade 'luminoso' at cvs. it's a great dupe for nars orgams, albeit slightly less intense. it looks super shimmery in the package, which contains a mirror and a small (useless) blush brush. on the skin, it's a very subtle pinky peach color. will definitely buy again! unfortunately, it shattered quite easily, and i had to repair it with rubbing alcohol. — 1 year, 6 months agoliliofthevalley | 34 reviews

WowI absolutely flipped finding this blush. I had heard Milani blushes were good. I didn't expect them to be better than any other blush I own pigment wise. I actually have to tone this blush back. I tried all their available colors and the dolce pink looks best on me. It does have some shimmer, so if you like that, great, if you want matte, this isn't for you. I wish they would come out with more shades in their matte line as they really don't have many color choices (two). — 1 year, 8 months agoMsAtomicBomb | 222 reviews

Lives up to its reputationAll the hype of these blushes are true. I have Rose D'Oro and love it. It gives a subtle glow that lasts all day.

The Bombest Blush Ever!!I love blush that gives a glow. If you like matte blushes, you won't like this. But, this is hands down my favortie blush ever. I have Berry Amore, and I plan on buying every other color in the range, espcially Luminoso and Delicioso Pink. This blush is so pigmented, and yet so blendable, that I think every color (even the darker colors) could work for my fair skin.

The color is a beautiful, wearable deep reddish-pink. It feels so soft and luxe that you would think it was a high-end baked blush.

The compact also has a mirror, and it is small while still holding a lot of product, so it works great for travel and on the go touch ups.

Milani Knows Their Baked Blushes...I love these. The colors are bold, and in the packaging they look like they're going to have way too much sparkle to them once applied.

Who's Really In Control? – Just as there are laws to do with mathematics and science, so are there exact laws that govern the mind and body. When we know, understand and work in harmony with these laws, we come face to face with the marvelous power and possibilities inherent in every human being.
When we explore the question, what bearing does the subconscious have upon disease, we open up the most interesting and illuminating phase of mind healing. The subconscious can hold memories of sickness, problems, misfortunes, sorrows, and various negative thoughts which are causing sickness yet all unconscious to the conscious mind. All habits are rooted in the subconscious. Any sickness, whether it has come into being by contagion, fear, panic, negative thought, unrealized ambitions or misfortunes may become a habit. This habit of sickness may be of an intermittent, periodical or of chronic character.
The thoughts, for example, belonging to a fear complex, which originally were accompanied by heart palpitation, tremor, perspiration, muscular weakness, etc., when reproduced in memory are again accompanied by all these physiological reactions.
If thinking any negative thought has first caused sickness, and this sickness has become a habit, there is only one way to heal it, that is, by first pushing out the old sick habit in the subconscious mind, by "holding the thought" opposite to that which caused the sickness.
Habits of all sorts are simply the result of the repetition of an action. Physical habits result from repeating a physical act and mental habits result in the same manner. Any physical habit can be changed by choosing an act opposite to that which created the destructive habit, and by steadily repeating this act until the new habit replaces the old one. Mental habits can be replaced by choosing a different, positive thought and dwelling upon it until it becomes the habit of the mind to think the new way. Pain, sickness, weakness, unhappiness, and poverty are all mental habits as are their opposites. Every state of consciousness attracts its own kind and being well is a habit as is every other desirable condition. Getting the right habit is our task.

Eating lots but still hungry? Eat more fat. Mid-day sluggishness? Eat more fat. Feeling depressed or irritable? Eat more fat. People think you've developed an eating disorder? Eat more fat... in front of them.
Find a location for it, first. That can be easier said than done.
If you've got a spot that will work with the kind of pull up bar that doesn't require any hardware, I'd definitely go for that, even though they're fairly expensive.
If not, then you might need the kind where you have to screw brackets into the doorway, and you twist the bar to make it shorter or longer. That's the kind I had to get. The brand is called Go Fit, and it works just fine for 20 bucks.
I have the one they sell on the P90X site. I really like it, very good quality.
I installed a fixed mount bar in one doorway, but got nervous about the anchors giving way while I worked. So I changed up and got the counter weight model they sell at Bed. Bath, and Beyond and like it. No permanent fixture in the doorway. Converts to a push up bar and dip bar if you'd like. Boasts a "neutral grip" option for pull ups that I like.
I have the same one as Geoff, and it works great.
I have one that I installed for my youngest son 15 years ago... the screwed in bracket kind. He used it all through middle and high school and even when he was home from college. When I first started using it, I noticed it cracked and crunched with the first pull up only. That scared me. I mentioned it to him and he said not to worry... it's been doing that since the first day I installed it.
I bought the cheapo one from walmart, and couldn't be happier. It clearly says "don't swing", but I swing my 150lbs body like nobody's business and it's still standing. I screw 'em in between wooden door frames.
I'm going to build one in the garage...
like this one... but just one. Just plumbing supplies and lag bolts.

This was an assignment in school that was about redesigning a web site that you thought needed some freshening up. I chose to work with one of Swedens largest recipe sites - Recept.nu . The site has a lot of good content and is linked with popular TV shows and famous chefs, and they also clearly have an ambition to position themselves in social medias such as Facebook and Twitter. The problem I found was that the content wasn't organized and the over all impression is overwhelming and cluttered.
I chose to work out a structure for the site, where I collected a lot of the content in a menu below the header to avoid a lot scrolling and to put the focus on images instead of lists and texts. I kept the social media in the side columns to put focus on the interaction with the reader, and used one of the yellow colors from the original site as an accent color to keep the familiar feeling. I did a lot of research before starting to design the site, and the things that I found out was that the target group wanted a simple and clean site where they quickly could find what they were looking for and that they wanted the focus to be on the images. When designing I also took a lot of inspiration from different food blogs.
This project was only for my personal learning and is not connected to the real Recept.nu-site.
You can view the site I was redesigning here.
All the photographs that I have used are taken by blogger Clara Lidström of UnderbaraClara.

Moroccan authorities have repeatedly prevented Mouad "El Haqed" Belghouat from performing in the country. So yet again, he turns to Europe
Journalist Ali Lmrabet had been holding a hunger strike in front of the UN's Geneva offices since 24 June because of Moroccan authorities' refusals to renew his identity documents
Dozens of internationally recognised journalists, free expression activists and writers have signed a letter supporting Ali Lmrabet, a Moroccan journalist who is on hunger strike in Geneva
Ali Lmrabet is protesting what he sees as the latest bid from his country Morocco to stop him from doing his job
The public space should be accessible to cultural actors, artists and organisations representing civil society and should be free of constraints
A former Index Youth Advisory Board member travelled to Casablanca to see Moroccan rapper El Haqed's first concert in the country. This is her account of the police crackdown that silenced the performance
Index calls on Moroccan authorities to respect freedom of expression by allowing Mouad "El Haqed" Belghouat and other artists to freely perform in the country
Mouad Belghouat is a Moroccan rapper and human rights activist who releases music under the moniker El Haqed, roughly translated as 'The Enraged'.
In an Open Letter to the Moroccan Minister of Justice and Liberties El Mustapha Ramid, 11 organisations committed to the defence of the rights to freedom of expression, culture and the arts have condemned the four-month sentence served against Mouad Belghouate.
Moroccan atheist Imad Eddin Habib is now on the run, after police began searching for him last week. Habib told Irshad Manji's Moral Courage TV that officers confronted his father, asking him to bring an end to his son's activism. Habib is the founder of the Council of Ex-Muslims in Morocco,

YOUNGSTOWN - When Bill Sferra first played softball, Youngstown was a hotspot for men's fastpitch softball.
Sferra was just 16 and still a student at Ursuline High School when he joined the "Lil Parker" softball league that played its games at Oakland Field and the now defunct Tod Park at Brier Hill in the 1950s. He had to audition to even make the team, which differs from the slowpitch leagues nowadays.
"It wasn't like slowpitch, where you just get a bunch of guys and you have a good time and get a team," Sferra said. "In fastpitch, you tried out for a team and a lot of guys got cut. So, you got to be really good to make one of the good teams in that era.
Article Photos
Tribune Chronicle / Jeff Lange
Bill Sferra of Youngstown throws out the first pitch for the 11th annual Mahoning & Trumbull Fastpitch Senior All-Star Game. Sferra has made major contributions to the sport over 60 years, starting as a catcher at the age of 16.
"At that time, the fastpitch (softball) was probably just as strong, if not stronger than baseball. I started in that league when I was about 15 years old, which was one of the younger guys in the league at that time."
Following 60 years of service to slowpitch varieties, Sferra, 67, has received the honor of having a game named after him - the Mahoning and Trumbull Fastpitch Senior All-Star game. In its 11th version, it was renamed as the inaugural Bill Sferra Fastpitch Classic.
"That makes me feel good," Sferra said. "I don't know if I deserve it or not, but I really appreciate the honor."
Sferra starred as a catcher for 10 seasons in the men's fastpitch league, posting a career batting average of .300 and leading the league in hitting in 1958. He said his favorite memory was when his team, Costello Paints, finally overcame a rival.
"We was always No. 2 to Sons of Italy, and this one year we beat them out," the Youngstown native said. "We made the state tournament, and they didn't, which was one of the biggest feats that I've had."
An injury forced Sferra to end his playing career before the age of 30, but he didn't let that keep him away from the game. He eventually became the director of the men's fastpitch league and developed a Saturday slowpitch league that grew to more than 30 teams under his direction.
Sferra also became an umpire at 30, and since then, he's earned plenty of honors and respect not only in the state but across the country. He was the recipient of the National Federation of High School Umpires Association "Umpire of the Year" award in 1999, and he received the same award from the National Softball Association (NSA) in 2004.
In Ohio, he officiated 10 Ohio High School Athletic Association softball state finals, as well as 15 regional finals. He has been an OHSAA assignor for 26 years, selecting who will umpire games in the area.
"That's a pretty good honor because you're picked by the coaches," Sferra said of being picked for the state finals. "It's a good atmosphere. Actually them games are probably a little bit easier. They're all serious about the game. The normal squawking doesn't exist much in the state game. Everybody wanted to be there."
As with many things in life, Sferra said a lot has changed during the time he's spent involved with softball. The main aspect to which he pointed deals with girls and the emergence and continued growth in importance of travel ball in relation to success.
"They almost have to play not quite all year round, but they have to play in either travel leagues or after high school, they won't be able to compete," Sferra said. "That stuff didn't exist (back then). It never existed for the men, but for girls, they have to start when they're probably 10 years old and get lessons."
Although he's accomplished so much already and is getting remarried (his late wife of 49 years, Claire, passed away a few years ago), Sferra's influence on the game in the Mahoning Valley and the state won't end any time soon. He said he plans on umpiring and assigning for a little while longer.
"I assign for about 18 schools now, and I'll continue to do that," Sferra said.

- Administration persuades journalists to not show black flags to Sukhbir
AMRITSAR: District administration persuaded agitating journalists to not show black flags to the visiting deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal on Friday. President of Chandigarh Punjab Journalists Association Jasbir Patti said " We dropped our scheduled programme of showing black flags to Sukhbir Badal only after the administration assured to arrange meeting of Sukhbir with a delegation of journalists." The journalists demanded strict action against the erring police officials who had ordered lathi charge on protesting journalists in support of their demands on September 7th. "Sukhbir has assured us to take appropriate action against those responsible for the lathi charge on journalists and even if no action was taken then we will gherao the residence of chief minister Parkash Singh Badal" said Patti.

- Uber cab driver arrested for misbehaving with cop, journalist
KOLKATA: In yet another incident of an app-cab driver misbehaving with a cop, the police have arrested the driver who had even ended up slapping a journalist. The incident was reported from the Amherst Street-MG road around 12.30 pm on Monday. According to joint CP (headquarters) Supratim Sarkar, Sealdah traffic guard sergeant Abhishek Kumar Bari was on duty when he saw the accused Afsar Hossain – driving his Uber cab - entering the road from the wrong direction and violating the one-way norm. When the sergeant stopped him from going ahead, an argument ensured. Sources said that it was then that the journalist working with a local English website stepped in and told the driver that he was at fault. "Hossain suddenly stepped out and slapped the journalist. Based on the complaint of this sergeant, the accused was intercepted and arrested by the local Amherst Street police. A case in this regard has been registered under IPC sections 353 (Assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty), 341 (Punishment for wrongful restraint) and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt). "We will produce him in court on Tuesday," said an investigating officer. The Uber cab has been seized by the cops. Police had earlier indicated it will go for a crackdown against Ola cabs after the pujas. Sources indicated that the traffic police might approach the transport department to initiate action under Section 188 of the IPC against company executives for not obeying government directions. So basically, liability of the company will also be fixed. "In order to effectively enforce the checking, we plan to ask all our Traffic Inspectors (TIs) to download the mobile App. The offending vehicle will also be impounded and a letter will be written to Transport Department to cancel the permit of the vehicle. But all this will be done only if the transport department issues the notification," a top official said.

How to uninstall go launcher without getting black screen
I want to uninstall go launcher and go back to stock. I have a friend who uninstalled go launcher and he got a blank screen and his phone was unresponsive. I've also read many posts online of this happening to other people. He had to do a hard reset and lost everything. I have tried to clear defaults for go launcher, but it is greyed out, as if it isn't the default launcher. But when I hit the home button, it launches go launcher. And if I choose default home in home manager, it also launches go launcher. How can I make motor blur my default again? And will I be able to safely remove go launcher as long as motor blur is my default?
