I've only tried one, but I love Neutrogena's. It's cheap and gets the job done really well!
I definitely love the neutrogena. I got to try a sample of Lancome bi-facil, and I feel they are the exact same product. Neutrogena is so much cheaper so I will stick with that.
definately lancome bi-facil!!!
i agree!
I've been using Mary Kay's for at least 10 years now, I love it!
I second this!
It's so good.
I've tried the Neutrogena one, and it burned my eyes. 🙁
I 3rd this..lol…
Mary Kay's oil free makeup remover works excellent for me and only $14 bucks! 🙂
Jojoba oil is amazing! It removes everything, and is super gentle
Olive oil works for me – I guess most people don't like to use oils but they remove everything, just need to rinse it off and olive oil never gave me any breakouts.
Lancome Bi Facil!!
Some Ideas for future weeks:
base coat
cuticle remover
hand cream
lip balm
hair spray
eyeliner/ lipliner sharpener
There aren't a lot of MAC products that make my top ten list, but I confess to adoring Cleanse Off Oil. It will remove ANYTHING in one go and doesn't do anything terrifying to my skin.
Chanel! Pricey but amazing, you only need a tiny bit to get everything off.
MAC cleanse-off oil makes it sooo easy to remove the most stubborn eye makeup (and my lashes love it too, as it is very gentle).
Hey Christine !
For me it's Make Up Forever Sens'Eyes, no doubt !
Clinique Naturally Gentle Eye Makeup Remover works really well. Its a cream and it truly is gently !
Shu Uemura cleansing oils. This can remove even the most stubborn waterproof and sweat proof products. It's amazing!
I really love Almay Makeup Remover Pads(the oil free ones)!!! I've been buying them for at least three years:)
Hands down, Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover. It's cheap, gets the job done, gentle, easy to use, no oily residues. I'm in love. Hey, it even removes that stubborn black gel liner from Coastal Scents…
My HG is DHC Deep cleansing oil it melts away makeup with ease!
Seconded! And it feels really gentle too.
My best eye makeup remover is….jojoba oil!
I love it because it is gentle on the skin, nourishes and removes quickly and effectively and even waterproof makeup….and it's very cheap 😉
Nivea eye makeup remover cream- doesn't sting eyes, you need hardly any, its cheap and the company doesn't test on animals. All in all perfect!
Actually Neutrogena DOES test on animals. They've been on PETA's list of companies who test on animals for years.
I'd say Luzier Gentle Eye Makeup Remover or Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover. Both are awesome and neither has alcohol.
Okay, I just love you Christine. THANK YOU for asking this!!
I'm still in the market for my HG eye makeup remover but so far I've tried and actually repurchased Clinique's Naturally Gentle Eye Makeup Remover. On one hand, I love that it's creamy as it feels good to have that cushion when working with such a delecate area, but on the other hand, it's messy! Effective, but messy.
I'm currently using the Mary Kay eye makeup remover. Meh…
Clinique take the day off makeup remover. It takes off mac liquidlast eyeliner easily.
I love Clinique's Take the Day Off. It's one of the more pricey options, but I wear about as much makeup as you, so you know how hard it can be to remove at the end of the day. (Plus, you don't have to use much) And I am REALLY impatient when it comes to getting ready for bed (probably because I wait until I am pooped to get ready) so anything fast = good! Plus, it'll take off anything! Those Mac ProLongwears? Instantly removed! (Yes, use it on lips if you have to!!) Anything that is hard to remove, I try the Take the Day Off and it usually works!

I took our babysitter and her mom out yesterday for a photo shoot, to get some more practice. I was quite discouraged when I downloaded them as I really struggled with focus. I just don't understand why, and it's sad because a few of the best shots were trashed because they were too soft. I do think I got some shots they'll be happy with, and a couple in particular that I just love, but I also know I made a lot of errors (besides focus), so I welcome CC. People are suddenly asking me to take their portraits regularly, and it's stressing me out because I'm not confident and I have a long ways to go, so I need to get better!! Here's some shots; I'm so tired right now I'm going to post the shots without settings, but would be happy to add settings if needed. Editing seemed tough between the very 'glowing' golden hour light and the fact that the mom is blonde with very tanned skin. 1. My favourite of the two of them: 2. Really love these two, and there's one more at this spot too. Not 100% sure about the skin tones. 3. 4. 5. 6. She is very self-conscious about her teeth, so it was awesome to get one natural smile out of her! 7. 8. Is the shadow from the nose too harsh? I love the light though. 9. 10.
Mom / Daughter photos - Edits in post #7 for CC please
WOW! Mom looks so young!
First off ... try to not be stressed that so many people are asking you for photos. I think that means (1) you are obviously very talented and others are noticing it and (2) that you will get so much more practice! with people who WANT their photo taken! I know it's stressful, but I also know you will do GREAT work!
Now ... on to my cc ...
1. Love the glowing light here! their faces look a little under exposed, but I love the over all feel. I do wish there was a bit more room on the right side of the frame - it just feels tight.
2. skin tones look lovely to me. did you dodge/sharpen the eyes? something looks just a touch off there to me (but I am at work, so take that w/ a grain of salt. the monitor here is not calibrated by any means)
3. LOVE the feel of this one, even w/out the direct eye contact. not sure of your aperture here, but I think you could have gotten away w/ a bit more shallow DOF (smaller aperture number) so that more of the foreground was OOF. It's still very nice like this, but I think she might pop just that much more if the DOF was a bit more shallow.
4. love the warm glow. the sky is blown, but that's not a deal breaker for me as it doesn't draw my attention. again in this one yer eyes look like they have been dodged or something to make them pop and I don't think it's necessary. This is great look for her.
5. LOVE this one of mom! top of her head is probably blown, but it add such a nice halo around her head that I don't mind it at all. I wish her shadow had filled the whole bottom of the frame. that one bit of bright in the bottom left corner is a touch distracting, but only just a tad.
6. LOVE! I can't think of anything to add here! AWESOME!
7. I love the interaction between them here. It's a sweet moment. You can see how much they resemble each other here. Exposure looks good and you got that nice warm evening glow going behind them. SWEET!
8. The shadow doesn't bother me, but overall the light looks a bit harsh to me. Just a personal preference though.
9. OK. Now this is my new favorite of the 2 of them together. I wish the daughter had been smiling a bit more, but I still love it! (can you tell I'm commenting as I scroll down?)
10. LOVE LOVE LOVE! this one is so great - exposure looks really nice! there's the one bright spot on her shoulder/arm, but with the evening glow, it works (or at least doesn't detract). this is a fun, playful look and I'll bet she loves it.
that seems like a lot of stuff, but most of it is nitpicking b/c this is a really nice set and I know they are both going to go NUTS for these photos!!!
TFS, Tracy!
Thanks for the comments, and the nitpicks. That really helps. I can fix some of the nitpicks. I did do some brightening and sharpening on the eyes in the ones you mentioned, just seemed the eyes were quite dark. But I can go back and re-edit that, make it a bit less so.
Good point in #3 about the ap. I had it at f/1.8 just a shot or two before that, and then I changed it to f/2.5. Not sure what I was thinking.
I do feel VERY stressed about the requests. I've had two more requests today, and this mom/daughter team also is having me do their whole family (I was the one who requested just the two of them for my little buttercup field I spotted) this weekend, and this mom's parents want me to do their photos too... and I just am barely getting my feet wet, don't know how to respond to requests about how much I charge (so far, nothing), don't have the confidence yet... it's just kind of overwhelming. But it IS very encouraging and flattering that people like the photos they're seeing enough to ask me to do theirs too. It's just that I don't feel ready for this. But I will talk to DH about how to handle some of the requests and we'll go from there.
I'm going through your same focus issues. I thought that my focus issues would magically go away once I got the Mk III, but I actually feel like they got worse! I'm not sure if it's the camera, or if it's me looking at it more closely with a larger monitor, and spotting things I never did before. My suggestion with focus: Close up! If you're having trouble with focus when you're wide open, then close up your AP and go from there. There is such a thin focal plan when you're wide open, and even when you're shooting a full body, it's hard to nail it. I would imagine that a lot of photographers that have tack sharp focus on full body or even close ups are using a long lens and standing further away. It's amazing how you don't even need to have a wide open AP and still get amazing bokeh when you're using a long lens. You can start to loose the connection with your subject, though, when you have to stand that far away from them. I'm dreaming of a long lens right now, but it's just not in the cards.
I don't have time to touch on all of them, but I would say that overall, I would look for consistency in editing. I won't say which looks correct color/contrast wise, because I'm on the laptop monitor, but I notice that the color isn't consistent with them. Make sure all your hazy ones have consistent color between them, and all of the non-hazy ones have consistent color. That's not to say that every single one of them have to be edited in the same exact way. Depending on the mood you're going for in a particular spot, you may have lighter or stronger contrast. I hope that makes sense! I'm not running on much sleep, and I've had the kids by myself for the past 4 days. Must.get.coffee!

Oddly enough, I have a harder time nailing focus with full body shots. I just don't know why. I got a lot of great shots at f/1.8 - f/2.5 in this shoot, and a couple of awesome ones at f/4.0 (apparently that's my 50mm f/1.4 lens' crispest aperture), but it was usually with full body shots that I struggled. So perplexing. Maybe I'm just pixel-peeping too much.

I read an interview with Meg Bitton where she said that if she could only choose one lens it'd be her 200mm f/2.0, and that the way she gets the shots she does is just to sit far back from her subjects, almost so they forget she's there, and then just waits and captures moments, more so than 'portraits'. I really like that idea. But if I told DH I wanted a 200mm f/2.0 lens right now, after he's just spent six months pricing out and waiting for a deal we could afford on a 50mm f/1.4, I think he'd strangle me.
As far as editing goes, I think one big issue is that I use GIMP. I'm guessing that Lightroom and PhotoShop have more tools for color temperature, etc., so that it's easier to GET consistent across multiple images. With GIMP it's just hit and miss, trying to compare images, playing around. There are not any easy tools for consistency. Of course I can edit color temp in RAW and then go from there, but even at that, I use DPP for RAW files, and it frustrates me no end that you can't see WHAT the color temp of an image is, you can only modify the color temp from a default starting point (6500 I believe it is). So you can modify the WB of an image with the dropper or whatever you choose, get something you like, but not be able to see what the color temperature is to then use that temperature across a set.
These are nice, but you are having some serious troubles with color in these. Sorry, I haven't read the previous responses, so forgive me if I repeat.
1. I like this, but not so much the color, particularly of the skin.
2. She looks pretty magenta here. Wish those spots in the background weren't blown.
3. Ditto #2
4. That hair in her face is really bugging me. She is too way too cyan and a bit underexposed.
5. Also underexposed and too magenta and cyan.
6. A bit dark as well.
7. There is something strange about this shot. The Mom's neck looks very strange color wise...and I see a strong yellow color cast on the daughter's neck.
8. The light is very harsh. The red channel is dangerously close to blown. I'm not a big fan of this kind of light. I prefer something softer. The color in this one is seriously yellow.
9. The daughter has very strong yellow color cast on her face.
10. The color of this one is the best of the bunch. It's still rather yellow, but it's the closest to being a correct skin color.
OK thanks, Amber.
Did some edits. Feeling rather discouraged, but I need to try, so if anyone's got time for CC on these edits, I'd appreciate it.
To be honest, it seems to me that some of the golden colour is simply to be expected due to the time of day and being in a field of buttercups, and I kind of like it. So some of them, I edited and felt like I made them worse somehow. Or maybe I didn't make them worse because I took the yellow out but because I just don't know what I'm doing. But anyway, here they are.
1. Just don't know how to improve the colour on this one much more. Kind of stuck.
2. Technically the bright spots in the back aren't blown, but I do know they're distracting. I tried dodging the first time around, but could only seem to do so much with GIMP.
7. Didn't re-edit. I don't know what to do with this one. The yellow colour cast is from the sun hitting the mom's neck at that angle, and the buttercups. Every time I try to fix it, I make the rest of their skin look way off.
8. Didn't re-edit.
It's amazing how different everything looks on the big monitor rather than the laptop! These look great, Tracy! They're going to be so happy with them!
I'd say that the re-edit of #9 looks a little too green. Maybe add a little magenta in, and you'll be set!
Great work, Tracy!
Thanks, ladies!
I think they'll be happy with them
You're still having issues with skin tone. I've touched one up just to show you a before and after. This is #2 from the re-retouch. It's such a nice image...you can really get it where it needs to be. I'm not too familiar with GIMP, so I don't know how to tell you to do what I did to improve the skin, but I'll describe what I did and hope it helps.
ETA: #9 isn't too green, it's too cyan for the daughter and too magenta for the mother.
The color of her skin is far too magenta, so I did a color balance layer and added TONS of yellow to the highlights, midtones and shadows. I also reduced the magenta a touch. Then I boosted the saturation a bit. I masked back the background because the background would have become too yellow if I let the adjustment layer affect it. I also used the paintbrush to click on a mild yellow color from the background and used the paintbrush on normal at a low opacity to soften the effect of the background that looks blown. This fixed it completely.
Lastly, I took the saturation tool at a low opacity and just saturated her lips a touch.
Here is the resulting image...before and after. I don't know if you're calibrated, but the skin on my image reads just about perfect when I check the "numbers"...perhaps a touch bright.
Image is private in my flickr...let me know if you want me to take it down.

That really is a big difference, Amber, wow. Thanks for taking the time to edit it and show me what you mean. I'll try it out myself. I have a ton to learn, it's just hard to get the hang of it all, but this specific kind of input shows me where I'm missing the boat and helps me out very much.

MA – Carrie Fisher Receives Cultural Humanism Award
April 14, 2016 by Colin Solan
Filed under Animation, Massachusetts, Movies, Other, Science Fiction and Fantasy, Signing and Appearance Profiles, Television
Star Wars actress is the recipient of this year's Cultural Humanism award to be received on Monday, April 18th at 8:00 PM.
Press Release:
The Humanist Hub, in partnership with Harvard College student group the Harvard Community of Humanists, Atheists, and Agnostics (HCHAA), will present Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher with their 10th Annual Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award in Cultural Humanism as part of a ceremony held at Harvard's historic Memorial Church on Monday, April 18.
In addition to portraying Princess Leia in Star Wars and a long list of acting credits, Fisher, a highly accomplished writer and Hollywood "script doctor", has used her celebrity to uphold values around which The Humanist Hub centers its mission. She is featured in the Emmy Award-winning BBC documentary "The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive," which destigmatizes mental illness, as do her many popular novels and memoirs, including Postcards From the Edge and Wishful Drinking.
Renowned throughout a literary career spanning decades for her bravely honest and deeply funny style, Ms. Fisher's work humanizes a popular culture obsessed with celebrity, and helps readers laugh at the absurdity of contemporary society and relationships. Her forthright activism and outspokenness about addiction, mental illness and agnosticism have advanced public discourse on these issues with creativity and empathy.
The Humanist Hub has hosted similar award ceremonies with comedian Eddie Izzard (2013) author Mary Roach (2012) Seth MacFarlane (Fall 2011) Stephen Fry (Spring 2011) Discovery Chanel's MythBusters Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman (2010) director Joss Whedon (2009) Bad Religion's Greg Graffin (2008) and Sir Salman Rushdie (2007).

Director John Landis hosts a screening on Tuesday, November 22 at 7pm.
(1980) 133min, 35mm
The threadbarest of plots allows room for the pure pleasures of this two-hour chase scene. Upon learning that the orphanage they grew up in will close if they can't come up with $5,000, Jake and Elwood Blues (Belushi and Aykroyd) set out on a "mission from God" (with an army of cops, jocks, and white supremacists in tow) to reunite their blues band. With powerhouse musical numbers by Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Cab Calloway, and more in the classic blues dives of Chicago.

Nikkei Nose Dive: Signals From A Week Japan 0 comments
While the phenomenon hasn't received much attention, the Nikkei 225 headline Japanese stock index has diverted course from all other major economic player stock exchanges. The Nikkei turned negative on August 14, 2009 and hasn't been able to resume the congruent pattern that all other major stock market indexes seem to be following. One can notice the sharp downward shift of the red line, representing the Nikkei 225 index, amidst all other global stock markets rising to new highs.
In mid August, just as the Nikkei began to falter, the "old guard" LDP (Liberal Democratic Party) turned in the keys, having lost the general election by a landslide, and now the contending DPJ (Democratic Party of Japan) finally has the reigns. The LDP had been in control during every year but one since the beginning of Japan's post-war government, and the DPJ has inherited more than a few liabilities.
Japan is facing unemployment that peaked at 5.7% in August and has since receded to 5.3% in the latest October reading, still historically high by Japanese standards. But what's really hurting Japan is the deflation problem, only recently admitted by the BOJ (Bank of Japan), which sites consumer prices excluding food at -2.3% yoy (year over year). The debt of the nation sits just shy of 200% of GDP in an era where dwindling numbers of offspring forewarn of a mass scale government revenue shortage. The National Institute of Population and Social Security Research predicts that current trends will force Japan to contend with a 30% population decrease by 2055 (less than 90 million people and roughly equal to the 1955 tally) where the number of citizens under the age of 65 will fall in half.
So has Japan's stock market fallen because it's currency has declined since August, causing for the opposite effect that the dollar is having on U.S. equities? One of my favorite professors described it best saying, "as it turns out... maybe". In the chart below you'll see that the Japanese Yen turned more expensive relative to the dollar early in August, but so did every major currency included in the above chart citing national equity index performances. After all, the Japanese Yen was the big brother to the Dollar as a preferred carry trade currency and was used to fund a plethora of risky bets under previous LDP low interest rate policies.
The new JDP administration is walking into a shrinking population, deflationary currency environment, historically high unemployment, 200% x GDP debt, 3% GDP stimulus spending and only 1.2% growth in the third quarter to show for it thus far. It must be increasingly uncomfortable for Japanese Prime Minister Hatoyama and rightly excruciating for BOJ Governor Shirakawa. The prime minister is promising a boost of costly public services, handouts and tax cuts to the struggling consumer base while Shirakawa vows to keep rates low when speaking to the G20.
Investors are exiting Japanese stocks because as things stand the Japanese government won't make good on debts and the only reasonable outcome will be for Japanese stimulus to be withdrawn early. In the alternative situation, Japan default on debts and create extreme problems for the nation and Japanese corporations in the future. Some blame the threat of deflation amidst global asset appreciation for the Nikkei's recent misfortune, yet the truth of the matter shows an indebted nation spending more and making less in an environment where global recovery is not a strong enough sell to stay long firms headquartered therein.
While U.S. regulators see what is unfolding in Japan, a blind eye is turned and the wallet comes out. After all America is a nation of winners, where the adverse scenario to the stimulus not working before our own debts come due is just too dark for a "#1 Nation" to acknowledge.

The grant, awarded by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection through the competitive Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition Grant Program, is in support of the 17-acre, $225,000 acquisition in Westwoods.
2015 Acquisition — Westwoods North
We need your support today!
When we were working to preserve the Heart of Westwoods from 2012-2014, we indicated that that parcel was one of several privately owned Westwoods holdings which have been GLCT priorities for decades. We are very pleased to report that GLCT has secured a contract to buy another of these properties, 17.5 acres just north of our last Heart of Westwoods purchase. We've had the owners' permission to maintain trails on this property for decades, so many of you have likely passed across this beautiful area on the White Circle or Red Triangle trails. It is quintessential Westwoods land, rugged, fascinating, and, with your help, protected.
Today we ask you to help us secure its permanent protection and to spread the word about this effort.
Unlike the last purchase, for which GLCT spread the payments out over 3 years, we must make the full $225,000 payment on or before March 27th. We need your generous support today.
GLCT has been able to protect 3,000 acres in Guilford – including more than 650 in Westwoods – because supporters like you value open space and generously respond to save critical parcels. Thank you for helping to protect this spectacular forest.
Please share this with three local, conservation-minded friends and connect to the story on Facebook.
What to see
New Acquisition on the West River
The children of Agnes L. Landon and John H. Landon recently agreed to donate 5.5 acres of salt marsh to the Guilford Land Conservation Trust in memory of their parents, long-time Guilford residents.
The parcel stretches from near Water Street to the West River, just north of the Amtrak rail line. The land trust already owns several properties adjoining or nearby the Landon parcel, and protecting this land will enable the land trust to maintain an undivided area of salt marsh that is vital for wildlife and also allows protection of one of Guilford's classic vistas.
"This marsh is part of one of Guilford's iconic views from Water Street to the West River, and we are grateful to the Landon family for their gift," said Sarah S. Williams, president of the land trust.
The land trust was founded nearly fifty years ago in large part to protect threatened salt marshes, and this gift will help to further its original mission.
Northwoods Acquisition
The Guilford Land Conservation Trust has completed the acquisition of an important addition to the protected open space in north Guilford known as Northwoods. The addition of 26 acres of forest on the east side of Route 77 includes a scenic ridge line above Rusconi Pond. The Northwoods corridor includes GLCT's 141-acre Broomstick Ledges property and Bluff Head, as well as the James Valley Preserve, owned by the Town of Guilford with a conservation easement held by GLCT, and the town-owned Braemore Preserve, which connects with Madison's Rockland Preserve. The new acquisition is just to the south of the New England Scenic Trail, a federally designated trail stretching from Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire to the Long Island Sound in Guilford. The Northwoods area has an outstanding network of hiking trails enjoyed by Guilford residents and visitors to the town. GLCT acquired the new 26-acre property through a public auction for $19,000. Although there are no immediate plans for trails on the property, the land may be accessed for passive recreation from the Broomstick Ledges or using an access easement granted to GLCT by the Quonnipaug Condo Association up the Association's main driveway.
Land Trust Acquires Key Property in Westwoods
GUILFORD – The Guilford Land Conservation Trust has purchased 17 acres of woodlands in the geographic center of Westwoods from a private landowner, moving the group a step closer to fully protecting the land on which the public Westwoods trails run.
"This is a key property, and it has been a high priority of ours for many years," said Sarah Williams, GLCT President. "It is, quite literally, at the center of Westwoods. Several trails cross over it, including the popular White Circle trail, and preserving it will ensure that the Westwoods forest will not be fragmented at its core." [Read more…]

A cat needs agility due its features, small prosthetics would make him jump and move easier, or maybe it's because of their paws, seems too dificult to manufacture that kind of prosthetics with paws.
But it looks like those have articulations too, how cute.

Noah and The Whale start working on their new album
The new album from Noah and The Whale will have an English influence, according to the band.
Lead singer Charlie Fink told Newsbeat he had started writing new material but it was still being developed.
"I've had very little time at home and it is quite hard to write on the road. But last time I was home I sat down at my desk and I was scribbling out some ideas," he said.
"I don't know what it's going to turn into but I have started writing it."
Noah and The Whale released their third album Last Night On Earth in March.
"I think the record we have just made is our American-influenced album, all the bands that inspired us were from America," he added.
Charlie Fink said bands like Pulp had influenced their new writing style.
"I have been listening to a lot of English music at the moment and reading a lot of English writers," the singer said.
"So far it's me writing self-deprecating things about my childhood and how it started.
"But I'd like it to be broader and have some relevance to what is going on in the world."
The band have had a busy year playing festivals including Glastonbury and they will also be performing at Ibiza Rocks before starting a UK tour in October.
"2011 has had very little sleep in it for me," he joked. "I just don't bother with it at all."

How to get around Facebook's new face recognition
- From: news.com.au
- June 08, 2011
- New face recognition is on by default
- You can turn it off, or have some fun
- More: Technology news and reviews
FACEBOOK wants to know what you look like, and it wants you to like it.
The social networking website has been rolling out a facial recognition feature called Tag Suggestions since late last year.
Now the feature has become available for Australian users, and by default, it's turned on.
Tag Suggestions is designed to make it easier for you to tag photos of friends. When you upload a photo, the site will make suggestions based on who it thinks appears in the picture.
Professor Brian Lovell of the University of Queensland said Tag Suggestions posed serious privacy risks for some users.
"The software might actually be labelling people who don't want to have their faces known," Dr Lovell told news.com.au.
"You put these things up in innocent way and they can be used against you."
Dr Lovell, who heads the university's Advanced Surveillance team, said users with assumed or suppressed identities were particularly at risk.
"If your photo was taken before you enter witness protection, it's very hard to remove those photos," he said.
Many Facebook users have complained on the site that the feature was turned on without their consent.
"Change settings and ask questions later, hey! Nice one," said one user.
"Once again, the user has to react, after the fact. Once again, not opt-in, as should be, but opt-out," said another.
Tag Suggestions can be turned off by customising your privacy settings under the "Things others share" heading.
1 Go to the "Account" tab in the top right hand corner
2 Click on "Privacy settings"
3 Click "Customise settings"
4 Scroll down to "Things others share"
5 Click "Edit settings" next to "Suggest photos of me to friends"
6 Choose "Disable" or "Enable" from the dropdown
However Dr Lovell said there may be another, more novel way to get around the feature — by taking bad photos.
"It's not a matter of does it work, or does it fail, it's about just how well it works," he said.
Given that many Facebook users uploaded photos taken on their mobile phone, Dr Lovell said the software may not work as well as it was meant to.
"The best recognition photos come from 10 megapixel photos," he said.
"iPhones have a 5 megapixel camera."
And if you wanted to make Tag Suggestions work even harder, you could upload photos taken at night or in low light.
"Most people socialise at night, they go to clubs and restaurants and take photos of their friends and you find the quality of the photos is quite poor," Dr Lovell said.
"You start to get problems in low light performance... it becomes very noisy."

Macca Posted at 11:33 AM June 09, 2011
TY. Another privacy crisis averted
Ce Jay Posted at 11:25 AM June 09, 2011
nothing else works properly if at all on facebook so what makes this any different. Would be nice if if they could just improve the system they have first. Sick of seeing you are tagged in a photo when you are not even in the photo and dont even know who is. Someone posts a group of photos and tags you in one you come up as tagged in all.....Sick of all the changes. You can't delete applications anymore they just get hidden.

Buck Showalter traded in his manager's cap for his host uniform for special guests March 13. Andy Oates, son of former Orioles manager Johnny Oates, for whom Showalter played in the Yankees' minor league system, was a guest at the spring training complex, along with two of his sons, Johnny and Jackson. Showalter has known the Oates family for more than 30 years, dating to his playing days in Nashville during the 1980s, and was instrumental in setting up the visit.

Median real estate price in the City Center of Clyde is $102,042, which is more expensive than 34.9% of the neighborhoods in Ohio and 18.9% of the neighborhoods in the U.S.
The average rental price in Clyde City Center is currently $704, based on NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis. Rents here are currently lower in price than 81.0% of Ohio neighborhoods.
Clyde City Center is a suburban neighborhood (based on population density) located in Clyde, Ohio.
Real estate in the City Center of Clyde, OH is primarily made up of medium sized (three or four bedroom) to small (studio to two bedroom) single-family homes and small apartment buildings. Most of the residential real estate is owner occupied. Many of the residences in the City Center neighborhood are older, well-established, built between 1940 and 1969. A number of residences were also built between 1970 and 1999.
Clyde City Center has a 11.9% vacancy rate, which is well above average compared to other U.S. neighborhoods (higher than 63.1% of American neighborhoods). Most vacant housing here is vacant year round. This could either signal that there is weak demand for real estate in the neighborhood or that large amount of new housing has been built and not yet occupied. Either way, if you live here, you may find many of the homes or apartments are empty.

Clearly, one of the greatest challenges for financial advisors is managing time. Efficient use of time is often a confusing issue because there are many opportunities to misuse one's time. Yet often it is the lack of sufficient time that leads to the greatest frustrations in a financial advisor's career.
As financial advisors spread themselves ever thinner, tackling from three to six different roles on average, efficient time management becomes harder and harder to achieve. A new study by Mavenlink (www.mavenlink.com), for example, shows that one in four small business owners believes each productive hour in a day is worth upwards of $500. Yet those same business owners are often seen doing tasks that could have been delegated to another employee at a far lower cost per hour. For financial advisors, such time demanders could be tasks such as:
• Excessive and unprioritized e-mail reading
• Surfing the Internet
• Inputting information into financial plans
• Filling out forms
• Looking up data online
Other surveys have pointed to the increased burden placed on these advisors in recent years, including one by Sage Small Business that found small business owners are not only working harder than they were five years ago, they're also working longer hours. Another survey by Citibank found that owners are sacrificing their pay as well as family or vacation time in addition to working those longer hours.
These studies seem to confirm an earlier study of customer service representatives by Rough Notes (www.roughnotes.com). The 2005 Rough Notes study shows that more than 50% of time in any given work day is eaten up by back-office tasks. The irony is that the most valuable use of the financial advisor's time, generally regarded as face-to-face time with the client, represents the smallest percentage of overall time. Often, the reason for this is a lack of proper delegating. With efficient delegation techniques in place, a firm could free up significant amounts of time, increase the capacity of the firm to accept new business (without necessarily having to hire more people or increase expenditures), and greatly increase the firm owner's personal time.
One way to get a handle on how your time is being used (or abused) is to keep track of what you do for a typical week. There are a number of ways to do this, from keeping a notebook to utilizing time-tracking software (some programs are available for smart phones, for instance). The point is to be truthful and accurate in studying how you spend your time at work. And the goal is to uncover things that you are doing that perhaps you should not be doing. Most of us are guilty of taking on tasks that could be handled by someone else.
Therefore, one of the most effective ways to manage a financial advisor's time is through the use of efficient delegating of tasks. As your business grows, you may find that in order to continue to move forward, you need to start handing over some of your daily to-dos to someone who can get the work done and free up your time for other, higher-level business activities.
But although it may be necessary, delegation can be a very difficult step for many financial advisors. This may be due, in part, to how they started in the profession, essentially doing it all themselves. With firm growth, this quickly becomes a roadblock to future success. Some of the hurdles advisors may have to jump in order to delegate efficiently include:
• Feeling like they need to do everything themselves to have it done right.
• Not having the time or desire to transfer the knowledge necessary to have someone else take over.
• Being unable to find people they trust enough to delegate to.
While these are all valid and significant hurdles, financial advisors can overcome all of their reservations by taking a well-planned and logical approach to delegation. For this, there are five steps that should be considered:
1. Identify tasks that should be delegated. In every financial practice, some things should be delegated and others should not. It is really important to fully and clearly define what the task is that is being delegated.
2. Make sure you are delegating a task to the right person. Developing position outlines for your staff that
define their roles in the firm is a good first step to identifying what tasks should be undertaken and by whom.
3. Provide clear documentation and instructions. With clear instructions, the employee has a much better chance of completing the task(s) correctly, efficiently and on time.
4. Develop workflow-tracking systems. Rather than micromanaging your employees, use workflow management tools. Many are already embedded in client relationship management software, and they will allow you to quickly view what work is in progress in your office.
5. Provide feedback. It is just as important to let your employees know when they are doing the tasks correctly as when they are falling short of expectations. The process of feedback can also uncover gaps in the workflow process and provide clues to improve the system.
By providing your employees with responsibility, you create an opportunity for those employees to grow and be more motivated to do good work.
Some financial advisors have paired delegating more tasks to employees with a compensation program that offers individual and team bonuses based on specific, objective performance criteria. These bonuses often are paid more frequently (such as quarterly) than traditional ones, usually given annually at year-end. Tying bonuses to performance criteria, such as on-time completion of tasks, accuracy and/or error-free work can definitely align the goals of the firm and its employees.
Replacing micromanagement with effective workflow management systems has the effect of erasing distrust and increasing overall performance standards. And most important, a financial advisor can free up significant amounts of time that can either be redirected to client-facing activities or simply more personal time.

So far on this apparently never-ending jaunt down Amnesia Lane we've visited the Bronco Bowl a handful of times, dropping in on the Clash, Squeeze, the Cure, the Replacements and Bruce Springsteen. But there are still myriad memories from the Fort Worth Ave. haunt I'd like to chase down, among them: U2's June 13, 1983, visit during the War tour, which I worked as a Golden Horseshoe usher at the far-too-young age of 14; Adam Ant on May 18, 1983, during which I stood next to a few Pretenders in the Golden Horseshoe (they were playing the next night); Big Country in March of '84; R.E.M. a few months after that; the Smiths in September '86.
But there is, at last, one flashback I can stop looking for: Depeche Mode's March 27, 1985, Bronco Bowl stopover in support of Some Great Reward, the band's fourth record and one of which I remain incredibly fond. I'd been trying to find this for a while, and there it was today, all by its lonesome -- mismarked, of course, as having taken place at the "Arcadia Ballroom."
Can't say I recall much of that night; I blame it on the Blue Nun, which was our rather embarrassing choice of beverage. Went with a Hockadaisy who was profoundly into the hits: "People are People," "Everything Counts," Just Can't Get Enough" -- all of which hold up quite well on this well-preserved account of a rather giddy jump-up-and-down night. ("Master and Servant" too -- wow.) Now excuse me while I push up the sleeves on my suit jacket and finish this bottle of Liebfraumilch.

Hudson says he's sorry. If he has it his way - and 2007 turns into a season of personal reclamation - hitters will so foolishly miss his sinker that foul tips will constantly be crashing into McCann's feet, shins, ankles, knees, thighs and other unspeakable portions of his being.
A bruised Brian McCann, you see, makes for a happy Tim Hudson.
"I hope he's got shinburners up and down his legs by the time I'm done pitching this year," Hudson said, joking ... but not.
Hudson does have a consolation for the 23-year-old McCann, should everything go to plan.
"I'll have some ice packs for him after every game," he said. "No problem there."
Hudson pitched two scoreless innings Saturday against Houston, achieving just what he set out to do.
The effectiveness of the sinker had foul choppers bouncing off McCann and behind the plate. Other sinkers induced five ground-ball outs. The sixth came on a strikeout. He did give up two singles, but they were both ground balls through holes in the infield.
"That's what I'm looking for," he said of the performance.
What isn't the 31-year-old former 20-game winner looking for?
The wild swings of inconsistency that have dogged him during his two seasons in Atlanta. The kinds of pendulum rocks that have caused Hudson to repeatedly say he "hasn't been the guy they traded for."
Hudson went 13-12 with a 4.86 ERA in 2006, making him 27-21 with a 4.23 ERA in his two seasons as a Brave.
"It's no secret. There's no secret what kind of year I had last year," Hudson said. "The only person that can do anything about it obviously is me."
Hudson continued by saying that he was "embarrassed" by last year and that the current level of mediocrity wasn't exactly something he'd ever faced. With Oakland, Hudson began his career 92-39 with a 3.30 ERA in six seasons. He went 20-6 in 2000.
Things got so bad last season that Hudson candidly admitted noticing that the teammates around and behind him had little to no confidence in him.
In hindsight, Hudson believes he developed a series of bad habits that slowly compounded on one another. Eventually, he was all out of sorts.
Then, Hudson's mind followed his mechanics. He lost confidence, just as his teammates had in him - 2006 was a lost year.
He continued his regular dialogues with pitching coach Roger McDowell and engaged in an off-season workout plan that he hasn't matched in recent winters. Hudson returned to spring camp at Disney, he says, more dialed in on the season ahead.
"I'm definitely more focused and more hungry this year than I have been in a long time," he said.
Whether the results match that re-established hunger remains to be seen.

The defense investing cycle 1980 - 2010 0 commentsIf you are reading this, then you likely know how defense stocks have performed over the past decade and the issues they face today. You are also well aware that the markets overall are in turmoil and that defense stocks are likely in a holding pattern until the Congressional supercommittee comes back and we see what, if any, impact there is from their debt reduction efforts.With this being the tenth anniversary of 9/11, from an investment perspective I found myself wanting to take a look back to the decades prior to 9-11so that I could hopefully draw parallels to the decline in defense stocks today. In particular I was curious to learn the following:1. How big was the decline from peak to trough.2. How long did it take to get from peak to trough; and3. How long did stocks stay near the trough level before rebounding.One can always talk about whether they think valuations are low or whether selling is overdone or still has a ways to go but I was hoping to find a historical analogy. The market tends to lead/lag so going strictly by defense budgets I knew wasn't going to be the answer. It would mean finding index data for the defense build-up seen in the Reagan presidency, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the 'peace dividend' from Clinton's first term and the start to rebuild it late in his second term, through 9-11. Data from 30 December 1997 through the present is readily available via the SPADE Defense Index (NYSE: DXS) but prior to that proved to be a problem. Data for the AMEX Defense Index (which the exchange uses for trading options) didn't seem to go back much further according to the file they sent me. Expanding the SPADE Defense Index further back would be much too time consuming a task just to satisfy my curiosity as to do it right would mean identifying every public company that operated in the sector during that period including all mergers and acquisitions -- a task much too time consuming just to satisfy my curiosity.So here's the methodology I used -- from 1997 to 2010 the SPADE Defense Index is the source. Prior to this the data was a quick and dirty analysis using the 'big 5' prime contractors: Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon (including their predecessor whose data was linked by CUSIP id's). Two indexes – one equal weighted and one employing a simple modification based on the market cap weights we've seen over time. This data included dividends and price changes due to splits and other factors.What I learned was the following:Frequency of DownturnsThere were very few negative periods during this entire time. Downturns took place in just three calendar periods: 1987, 2002, and 1980-1981. All other calendar year returns were positive.The Investing CycleLooking at calendar returns from 1980-2010:Down 2, Up 5 [decline of 14+%, prior to 1980, TBD]Down 1, Up 14 [decline of 23.29%]Down 1, Up 5 [decline of 2.87%]Down 1, Up 2 [decline of 38.03%]Ignoring the 3% decline as an anomaly, what appears is the sector can experience a severe downturn of 20% - 40% but, which during the first two cycles, rebounded to break even within four years from its bottom.Correlations & Alpha vs. the S&P500- Correlations were much lower in the 1980s and 1990s, almost independent of the market; whereas the late2000s were highly correlated, a staple of the new market.- Contrary to what is believed, compared to theS&P500, defense stocks outperformed in 1992-1996 (the Clinton presidency) and underperformed during the Reagan years (results skewed by a large selloff in1987 and significant underperformance from 1985-1989). The sector for the 2000s outperformed themarket, most years by more than double digits, before peaking in October 2007 and tracking the market performance in 2008.What Do I Think All This Mean?1. Defense stock downturns can be severe but they don't appear to last long. Historically, we are currentlyat previous levels that define a bottom.2. With dividends reinvested, within a few years investments can be reclaimed and long-term the defense sector has produced solid returns.3. Investing in the S&P500 is MUCH more volatile than investing in the defense sector.4. I'd like to see the results of a more detailed analysis that included large defense firms that were acquired including Martin Marietta, E-Systems, McDonnell Douglas, Loral Defense, Gumman, etc. as well as how world events, budget impacts, etc. impacted the stocks.5. Still, with DoD restructuring how they are going to spend their budget, if I were investing I'd probably choose the Powershares ETF that tracks the SPADE Defense Index, (NYSE: PPA) to play an uptrend, get a dividend, without trying to figure out which companies will win in the current environment.SPADE Defense Index (NYSE: DXS)S&P 500 (ex-div)20109.61%12.78%200921.71%23.45%2008[38.03%}[38.49%]200722.17%3.53%200619.33%13.62%20055.30%3.00%200420.47%8.99%200337.27%26.38%2002[2.87%][23.37%]20010.94%[13.04%]20004.98%[10.14%]199915.31%19.53%19986.63%26.67%Defense Stocks(Equal Weight)Defense Stocks(Modified Weight)S&P500(reinvest div)199714.84%12.86%33.36%199622.21%23.36%22.96%199560.83%63.13%37.58%19945.21%6.09%1.32%199344.62%42.33%10.08%199216.02%13.71%7.62%199112.60%11.56%30.47%19906.52%6.73%[3.10%]19895.23%7.20%31.69%19889.03%10.83%16.61%1987[23.29%][24.19%]5.25%19868.89%8.25%18.67%198514.51%14.06%31.73%198412.43%13.99%6.27%198312.55%14.55%22.56%198239.46%41.15%21.55%1981[8.42%][7.96%][4.92%]1980[6.24%][6.71%]32.50%

Rail Transit:
Observations on FTA's State Safety Oversight Program

The U.S. rail transit system is a vital component of the nation's transportation infrastructure, carrying millions of people daily. Unlike most transportation modes, safety and security oversight of rail transit is the responsibility of state-designated oversight agencies following Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requirements. In addition, in 2001, Congress passed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, giving the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) authority for security over all transportation modes, including rail transit. This testimony is based on ongoing work for this subcommittee's committee--the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. I describe (1) how the State Safety Oversight program is designed; (2) what is known about the impact of the program on rail safety and security; and (3) challenges facing the program. I also provide information about oversight of transit systems that cross state boundaries. To address these issues, we reviewed program documents and interviewed stakeholders including officials from FTA, TSA, the National Transportation Safety Board, and the American Public Transportation Association. We also surveyed state oversight and transit agencies covered by FTA's program, interviewing 24 of the 25 oversight agencies and 37 of 42 transit agencies across the country.
FTA designed the State Safety Oversight program as one in which FTA, other federal agencies, states, and rail transit agencies collaborate to ensure the safety and security of rail transit systems. FTA requires states to designate an agency to oversee the safety and security of rail transit agencies that receive federal funding. Oversight agencies are responsible for overseeing transit agencies, including reviewing transit agencies' safety and security plans. While oversight agencies are to include security reviews as part of their responsibilities, the TSA also has security oversight authority over transit agencies. Officials from 23 of the 24 oversight agencies and 35 of the 37 transit agencies with whom we spoke found the program worthwhile. Several transit agencies cited improvements through the oversight program, such as reductions in derailments, fires, and collisions. While there is ample anecdotal evidence suggesting the benefits of the program, FTA has not definitively shown the program's benefits and has not developed performance goals for the program, to be able to track performance as required by Congress. Also, because FTA was reevaluating the program after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, FTA did not keep to its stated 3-year schedule for auditing state oversight agencies, resulting in a lack of information to track the program's trends. FTA officials recognize it will be difficult to develop performance measures and goals to help determine the program's impact, especially since fatalities and incidents involving rail transit are already low. However, FTA has assigned this task to a contractor and has stated that the program's new leadership will make auditing oversight agencies a top priority. FTA faces some challenges in managing and implementing the program. First, expertise varies across oversight agencies. Specifically, officials from 16 of 24 oversight agencies raised concerns about not having enough qualified staff. Officials from transit and oversight agencies with whom we spoke stated that oversight and technical training would help address this variation. Second, transit and oversight agencies are confused about what role oversight agencies are to play in overseeing rail security, since TSA has hired rail inspectors to perform a potentially similar function, which could result in duplication of effort.
