Introducing the Beauty Clique
Hi Bellas,
You might remember me doing a post a few weeks ago on my beauty clique here in the ATL. It is made up of myself, Joy, Michelle, and Leslie. We're all beauty bloggers/life bloggers and we thought it would be fun to form a little group. We gained inspiration from other groups like the Pretty Committee :)
We decided to film our first video about a week ago answering all of our readers' most frequently asked questions. Unfortunately, there have been technical difficulties with the video, so I'll do a recap!
Skincare Recommendations That Are Affordable
-Witch Hazel as Astringent
-If you have serious skin issues, please visit a dermatologist for assistance
Affordable Makeup Brushes
-Kirkland Brush Set from Costco
-Sonia Kashuk Brushes from Target
-Essence of Beauty Brushes from CVS
-Brushes online from www.CoastalScents.com

Here is the template as pdf. From the printout, cut on the outer edge of the pattern. Once you have cut out your template, add an extra 1/4 inch all around when you cut the fabric. Sew with a 1/4 inch seam.
Materials needed:
This of course depends on the size of the doll and the size of the child. Adapt accordingly when drawing your template, so that you can have a better idea as to how much fabric you will need.
In this instance the doll is 12" (30 cm) from top to toe and is 4" (10 cm) around the belly. The child is an average two year old.
- 2 pieces of cotton fabric 10" (25 cm) x 13" (33 cm) for body
- 1 piece of cotton batting also 10"(25 cm) x 13" (33 cm) for body
- 2 strips of cotton fabric 27" (69 cm) long and 4" (10 cm) wide for straps
- 4 buttons

More:G-8 Foreign Ministers Meeting Chair's Statement
On April 11-12, 2012, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton hosted her G-8 counterparts for the G-8 Foreign Ministers Meeting at the Blair House in Washington, D.C. During the opening plenary on April 11, Secretary Clinton said:
"I greatly appreciate this opportunity to discuss in person the many global issues that require joint leadership from the G-8 nations. The events of this past year, even of just this past week, affirm the continued need for comprehensive international cooperation, and the G-8 is an essential forum for that."
During the two-day meeting, the Foreign Ministers discussed a range of country-specific, regional, and transnational topics, including Syria, North Korea, Iran, the crisis in the Sahel, and outcomes of the Middle East Quartet meeting, among other issues. At the conclusion of the G-8 Ministerial, Secretary Clinton said:
"This group of nations has extensive shared interests and responsibilities around the globe, so we discussed a range of issues that are of pressing concern. And while there was certainly frank debate about the details, we all affirmed our common commitment to confronting these challenges together and working in close consultation with one another."
On Syria, the Secretary said, "We welcomed Joint Special Envoy Kofi Annan's report that the violence in Syria, at least for the moment, has abated. I also spoke separately about this at some length with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov. If it holds, a ceasefire is an important step, but it represents just one element of the special envoy's plan. As Kofi Annan reported, the Assad regime has, so far, failed to comply with key obligations. The regime's troops and tanks have not pulled back from population centers. And it remains to be seen if the regime will keep its pledge to permit peaceful demonstrations, open access for humanitarian aid and journalists, and begin a political transition. The Annan plan is not a menu of options. It is a set of obligations. The burden of fully and visibly meeting all of these obligations continues to rest with the regime. They cannot pick and choose. For it to be meaningful, this apparent halt in violence must lead to a credible political process and a peaceful, inclusive, democratic transition."
On North Korea, Secretary Clinton said, "The G8 ministers discussed our concerns that North Korea continues to prepare to launch a ballistic missile in violation of UN Security Council resolutions and its own national commitments. We urge the North Korean leadership to honor its agreements and refrain from pursuing a cycle of provocation. We all share an interest in fostering security and stability on the Korean Peninsula, and the best way to achieve that is for North Korea to live up to its word."
On Iran, Secretary Clinton said, "We also looked ahead to the P-5+1 talks with Iran, scheduled to take place in Istanbul this weekend. We continue to underscore that we hope these talks result in an environment that is conducive to a sustained process that delivers results. This is a chance for Iran to credibly address the concerns of the international community. Iran, in coming to the table, needs to demonstrate that they are serious."
You can find video and text transcript of the Secretary's full remarks at the G-8 Ministerial here. The United States holds the G-8 Presidency in 2012, and will host the G-8 Summit at Camp David May 18-19.
Update: G-8 Foreign Ministers release a statement condemning the launch by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and calling on the DPRK to abstain from further launches using ballistic missile technology or other actions which aggravate the situation on the Korean Peninsula.

John Wash (right), president of the International Polo Club Palm Beach, will receive the Palm Beach County Sports Commission's prestigious President's Award for his commitment to the sport of polo and the South Florida equestrian community.
With 7 years of dedicated service to the facility and its members, Wash was "completely taken by surprise" upon hearing of his receipt of the President's Award by the PBCSC's executive director, George Linley. In 37 years, this coveted distinction has only been proffered four times. This year, the Palm Beach County Hall of Fame Committee was unanimous in its selection of Mr. Wash.
As president, Wash expresses a deep concern for the interest of the sport. "We try to promote the sport in a positive fashion for the long-term vibrancy of the club," he says. In an effort to debunk the myth of exclusivity, the club has opened its doors to the wider, non-equestrian community, donating its facility for local events, and even hosting an event to educate underprivileged youth.
At the International Polo Club on Sunday, March 24 the 37th Annual Palm Beach County Hall of Fame Banquet and Annual Sports Awards will honor John Wash and other distinguished individuals.

An improper payment is defined as any payment that should not have been made or that was made in an incorrect amount (including overpayments and underpayments) under statutory, contractual, administrative, or other legally applicable requirements. Reported improper payments also include payments for which insufficient or no documentation was found. GAO's work has demonstrated that improper payments continue to be a long-standing, widespread, and significant problem in the federal government.
For fiscal year 2010, about 20 federal agencies reported estimated improper payments for over 70 programs totaling about $125.4 billion, for a governmentwide error rate of about 5.5 percent. According to GAO's analysis of those agencies' fiscal year 2010 Performance and Accountability Reports (PAR) or Agency Financial Reports (AFR), the majority of reported estimated improper payments for fiscal year 2010 is accounted for by the following 10 programs:
FY 2010 estimated improper payments
Primary cause(s)a
Medicare Fee-for-Service
Health and Human Services
$34.3 billion
Medically unnecessary services and insufficient documentation
Health and Human Services
$22.5 billion
Insufficient or no documentation provided for conducting medical review and cases that were either ineligible or their eligibility status could not be determined
Unemployment Insurance
$17.5 billion
Eligibility errors, errors in handling separation issues, and claimants who have returned to work and continue to claim benefits
Earned Income Tax Credit
$16.9 billion
High turnover of eligible claimants, confusion among eligible claimants, complexity of the law, structure of the program, unscrupulous return preparers, and fraud
Medicare Advantage
Health and Human Services
$13.6 billion
Insufficient supporting documentation, and errors in the transfer of data and payment calculations
Supplemental Security Income
Social Security Administration
$4.8 billion
Incorrect computations, misapplication of an income or resource exclusion, and inadequate verification of accounts and wages
Old Age Survivors' and Disability Insurance
Social Security Administration
$3.2 billion
Computation errors; nonverification of earnings, income or work status; and incorrect processing of applications or payments
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
$2.2 billion
Incomplete or inaccurate reporting of income by participants and incorrect eligibility determination by caseworkers
National School Lunch
$1.5 billion
Verification and authentication errors including inadequate documentation and fraud or misrepresentation by participants
Pell Grants
$1 billion

aAs reported by the agencies.
bPrimary causes were provided by the Department of Education and were not reported in the AFR.
Agencies have made progress in reducing improper payments, and, in some programs, they have reported reducing the rate of improper payments. For example, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reported that the fiscal year 2010 Head Start program's estimated improper payments decreased by $90 millionor 1.3 percent of total program outlaysfrom the estimated amount reported for fiscal year 2009. HHS reported that it reduced improper payments errors by issuing additional guidance for employees on verifying income eligibility and developing a standard template form to help guide grantees in the enrollment process. In another example, the Department of Agriculture reported reductions from fiscal year 2009 to fiscal year 2010 for seven of its programs, including the Marketing Assistance Loan Program which had a reduction in improper payments of about $50 millionor 1.75 percent of total program outlays. The agency reported actions taken to reduce improper payments, which include providing additional training and instruction on improper payment control procedures, and integrating the employee's individual performance results related to reducing improper payments into annual performance ratings.
Nonetheless, the federal government still faces challenges in determining the full extent to which improper payments occur, and in ensuring appropriate actions are being taken to reduce them. For example, three agencies have not reported on the extent of improper payments for seven risk-susceptible programs with significant amounts of outlays. Most notably, HHS has yet to report a comprehensive improper payment estimate amount for the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit program, which had about $59 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2010. However, HHS expects to report a comprehensive estimate for this program in fiscal year 2011. In addition, it is not always clear whether agencies are identifying the root cause or the underlying internal control weaknesses that caused the payment error in order to determine the appropriate corrective action.
To help reduce improper payments, the President issued (1) Executive Order 13520, Reducing Improper Payments, in November 2009, focused on increasing transparency and accountability for reducing improper payments, and creating incentives to reduce improper payments; (2) a Presidential Memorandum in March 2010 that expands agency efforts to recapture improper overpayments;[1]and (3) a Presidential Memorandum in June 2010, directing that a Do Not Pay List be established to prevent improper payments from being made to ineligible recipients. Moreover, in July 2010, Congress passed the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act (IPERA) to enhance reporting and recouping of improper payments. These actions further heightened awareness of the need to reduce improper payments and eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in federal programs. In addition, the President has set goals, as part of the Accountable Government Initiative, for federal agencies to reduce overall improper payments by $50 billion and recapture at least $2 billion in improper contract payments and overpayments to health providers, by the end of 2012.
Under the Executive Order, the Office of Management and Budget established a Web site (www.paymentaccuracy.go
IPERA established additional requirements related to manager accountability, recovery auditing, compliance and noncompliance determinations and reporting, and an opinion on internal controls over improper payments. For example, IPERA repealed a previous recovery audit requirement and enacted a new, broader requirement for agencies to conduct recovery audits for those programs with at least $1 million in total program outlays, where cost-effective. Final guidance on expanding payment recapture audits is expected to be issued under IPERA implementing guidance, in early 2011.
[1] Payment recapture audits, also called recovery audits, are conducted to identify and reclaim payments made in error.
[2] The 14 high-error programs designated by the Office of Management and Budget for fiscal year 2010 include: Medicare Fee-for-Service; Medicaid; Unemployment Insurance; Medicare Advantage; Supplemental Security Income; Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance; Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program; National School Lunch Program; Rental Housing Assistance Programs; Federal-Aid Highway Program, Highway Planning and Construction; Children's Health Insurance Program; Earned Income Tax Credit; High Cost Program of the Universal Service Fund; and Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit. The Children's Health Insurance Program, High Cost Program of the Universal Service Fund, and Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit programs did not report improper payment error rates and amounts for fiscal year 2010.
GAO views these efforts as positive steps toward improving transparency over, and reducing, improper payments; however, it is too soon to determine whether the activities called for in Executive Order 13520, the Presidential Memoranda, and IPERA will achieve their goals of reducing improper payments while continuing to ensure that federal programs serve and provide access to intended beneficiaries. Identifying the nature, extent and underlying causes of improper payments is an essential prerequisite to taking action to reduce them. Moreover, corrective actions needed to reduce improper payments vary across specific entities and programs. Until the federal government has implemented effective processes to determine the full extent to which improper payments occur and to reasonably assure that appropriate actions are taken across entities and programs to effectively recover and reduce improper payments, the federal government will not have reasonable assurance that the use of taxpayer funds is adequately safeguarded.
In addition, the level of importance the agencies and the administration place on the efforts to implement the requirements established by IPERA, the Executive Order, and other guidance will be a key factor in determining their overall effectiveness in reducing improper payments and ensuring that federal funds are used efficiently and for their intended purposes. If fully and successfully implemented, the requirements will provide additional transparency, improve oversight and accountability, and should help to reduce the federal government's vulnerability to improper payments in the future. Continuous congressional oversight is key to determining whether these recent efforts are effective in reducing improper payments. Congressional efforts to monitor agencies will be essential to ensure they are taking action to fully implement these legislative requirements to improve accountability, achieve targeted goals, and reduce overall improper payments.
This analysis is based on agency-reported information in their fiscal year 2010 Performance Accountability and Agency Financial Reports, as well as previous GAO reports.

Did you watch the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards last night? Were you surprised by the winners? Well, if you only paid attention to the major awards that were televised, then you probably didn't see that the Carolina Chocolate Drops were awarded a gilded gramophone for their album, "Genuine Negro Jig," in the Best Traditional Folk Album category. This black string band trio from North Carolina performed in the Distler Auditorium at the Granoff Music Center at the beginning of last semester on September 14, 2010. Tufts staff photographer Alonso Nichols was there to capture the action as band members Rhiannon Giddens, Dom Flemons and Justin Robinson took turns singing and fiddling, playing banjos, jugs, and other traditional instruments, and even showing off a jig or two. Here's a look back at the new Grammy winners' show.

Sounds like the same stuff! Light and breezy. You might try upping the leaf to 6 or 7 gr, which may require a bit shorter brewing times and give a little more variety of tastes.Bubba_tea wrote: I'm not getting a lot of complexity out of it. A bit smooth and buttery in texture, flavor is light & easy. I'm brewing just off boil, 30 sec, 5gms to a 5oz gaiwan - sound right?
Mmm,well, there are similar comments in the 4th paragraph of an article on the Puerh Live Journal today and if you look above your comments, you will see Tony has some less than glowing words for this cake also. It's not impossible that it is changing for the worse with time ... might also be it's your brewing or it's just not your kinda pu. I guess I might have to try to drag this out tonight and give a test drive.zacstill wrote: it was not harsh or smokey, but it wasn't very flavorful either. It reminded me mostly of watered-down dish soap, slightly flowery but mostly like hay or earwax. Not much sweetness in this cake. The viscosity was a bit too much for me as well, adding to the dish soap feel.

Topic: Making the Leap
I also posted this on the "Ruby on Rails meets the business world" forum, but am curious about what people on this forum think...
Not sure if I'm looking for advice or encouragement.
A little about me first, I'm currently a Java programmer at a small
tech company in the northwest. I primarily work on distributed
applications and have had just a small amount of web development
experience, nothing professional, mostly as side projects. But I've
got an idea for a web application which I believe will do fairly well
and generate enough revenue for a company of one or two people, maybe
half a dozen if I'm really optimistic.
It's my first foray into Rails, and I've got most of the features
working, but still needs quite a bit of polishing and most likely a
good once over by a real look-n-feel person. I'm also worried about
security since I'll be handling credit cards and other sensitive
personal data.
All this, added to having to create a company, perform customer
support, continue to grow the features, marketing, and the loads of
other things I haven't thought of yet...is there any hope that one
person can pull this off while still working at my current job ( with
hopes of going it alone when I'm sure it can fly ), and giving time to
my family, with very little up front costs. I've been reading quite a
bit about bootstrapping lately, but to really make the time has been
very difficult.
Any advice? Or do I just need to dig in and make it happen?!?

Womenomics, a current bestselling book by Claire Shipman and Katty Kay, asks women to question our constraints at work, and to consider that we're entitled to more flextime. Hmmm. In the first chapter, Shipman and Kay highlight a recent study from Pepperdine University that ties a company's profits to the number of women it has in senior management. In sum: more women means more profits. The point? Women are supremely positioned in this down economy to reshape workplace norms to better support our need for more sanity and more time for our families.
We each need to step back and ask how can work work for me? And then move forward with a plan to negotiate for less time at work, and better pay for quality results delivered. No more hanging around the office until 5pm because you have to, especially when your son has a soccer game at 3pm. No more five-day work weeks when you really need a third weekend day to catch up with bills and DailyWorth emails (heh). We want assignments, we want to do them well, and we want to be compensated richly. We don't want to be stuck to a desk chair because it's how it's always been.
Womenomics is not just a manifesto for workplace transformation; it's a an instruction manual. Some noteworthy chapter headings include:
- Wired for Sanity
- Confronting the Feminist Ideal
- Recognizing a NO moment
- How to Change your Deal
- Promote Thyself
- Negotiate from a Position of Fact-Based Strength
- Use Economics to your Advantage

The one thing that I haven't been able to achieve with a 50/50 blend is a layer of orange glistening milkfat on top. I can get it with pepperoni, of course, but not a plain cheese pie.
Scott, is white cheddar your missing ingredient? I know when I have used it in a blend there is more oil bleeding out of the cheese than with straight mozz.
So far,whole milk mozz does it a little bit,but I have to cut it a little thicker than normal, so it melts down white and doesn't destroy itself before the pizza is done.
Scott have you considered drizzling olive oil with orange food dye? Just a thought.

ACOUSTIC WEEK: It's not so much that Kaki King does things on an acoustic guitar that other players can't; rather, it's that she thinks differently. Her idiosyncratic talents and vesuvian impulses are in full bloom on her luminous new album, Glow, an intoxicating collection of all-original instrumentals.
On her current US tour, King is performing many of the songs found on Glow, and as you might expect from such a daring and uncompromising artist, she doesn't take just any guitars with her. After a soundcheck at New York City's Le Poissan Rouge, King gave us an up-close-and-personal look at her quintet of acoustic beauties, including her own signature Ovation Adamas and the Moog Lev-96, a prototype she's beta testing for the company.
Check it all out in the above video.

When Taibi Magar talks about guest-directing "Circle Mirror Transformation" at Otterbein University, she knows whereof she speaks. Magar returns to her alma mater — she graduated with a theater degree in 2004 — this month with Annie Baker's OBIE-winning comedy.
The story is set in an "adult creative drama" class at a community center in a small Vermont town.
"In this drama class, there's not a lot of drama, because that's not real life," Magar said. "Life moves in more subtle, surprising ways that you can really only understand years later. And Annie Baker captures this effortlessly."
Five characters — the middle-aged teacher and her husband, an actress who has just left New York, a recently divorced guy and a sixteen-year-old hoping to snag the lead in her high school play — go through the drills that help actors act.
"We theater artists all know these acting exercises, how completely scary and/or ridiculous they are," Magar said. "The task for the actors is discovering it through the lens of the character, and rediscovering what it feels like to approach this acting class brand new each and every performance."
"What makes this play so beautiful is that the characters are clearly different people, but they are not overwrought," Magar continued. "There is no huge event onstage, no apocalyptic climax. But at the end, as audience, we all understand that the class actually has meant something. There is not a denouement or some crispy realization. The play turns our heads a little and we see something differently, which is usually how life happens."

Jim Halperin: James Bennett Pryor collected U.S. half dollars as a lifelong passion and he indeed succeeded in putting together a complete 1794 to date set in fabulous condition. Along the way he had acquired an original roll of 1892-S Barber half dollars, which he sold to me in the mid 1970s, and two original rolls of 1920-S half dollars. He sold me the 1920-S half dollars in the late 1970s. They were frosty original coins that would grade MS64 to MS66 today, maybe even MS67 for the best one. It was an amazing deal and the only "quantity" deal of this rare early Walking Liberty half dollar I have ever seen or heard of.
David Hall: The 1920-S Walking Liberty half dollar is relatively available in the lower circulated grades (G to VG), but is scarce in higher circulated grades. Like all early Walkers, this issue is rare in mint state as very few examples were saved at the time of issue. It is comparable in rarity in both mint state and Gem condition to the 1920-D, 1923-S, and 1928-S...rare coins all. While not as rare in choice condition as the 1921-S and 1919-D and a few others, the 1920-S is definitely a key date in the series in top condition. Many of the surviving Gem examples come from a 40 piece mini-hoard found by half dollar specialist James Bennett Pryor and sold to dealer Jim Halperin in the late 1970s.
The typical mint state 1920-S has soft frosty luster and/or some degree of golden toning. You would want to avoid the overly dark examples. As is the case with many S-Mints in this series, strike can be a problem, with weak detail of Ms. Liberty's left hand being common.

Hynix Semiconductor has announced the industry's first 2Gb GDDR5 chip that can operate at unprecedented 7GHz effective clock-speed. The memory maker claims that the new chip with never-before-seen performance will be in demand already in the second half of 2010.
The newly developed GDDR5 is the fastest and highest density graphics memory available in the market. It operates at 7GHz effective clock-speed and processes up to 28GB/s with a 32-bit I/O. In addition to its fastest speed and highest density, it is also designed to minimize power consumption with 1.35V operation voltage. Thanks to 40nm process technology, the device reduces energy consumption by 20% over the preceding memory solutions using 50nm class technology.
2Gb GDDR5 memory chips will enable graphics cards with 2GB or more of onboard memory with 224GB/s or higher peak bandwidth. It can be assumed that Hynix's new memory chips will be used on the next-generation graphics cards from ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, and Nvidia Corp., which are also due in the second half of next year.
Hynix plans to start mass production of 2Gb GDDR5 in the second half of next year to meet the increasing demand for high performance graphics DRAM.
