Hello all, as promised here is my build thread. It will be modest for the most part as financial limitations prevent me from doing a lot at once, so be patient!
Her name is Bonnie, after the Bonnie Blue Flag.
As she sat the day I bought her. Little did I know what all she had waiting for me... lol
A previous owner had it tinted and must have removed it at some point because the adhesive was left all over the rear window. Took forever to get it off, but the tinter (IAG Performance) did an amazing job. 40% all around.
On the same day as the tinting, I also had the brakes upgraded since the stockers were at the end of their life span. DBA 4000 series rotors, Ferodo DS2500 pads, Motul 5.1 fluid, and Technafit SS lines.
Picked up a set of Hella Horns and a harness to get that good front end look. Pretty standard for us Subies, but I still like it.
Initially had her checked out mechanically after purchase to make sure it ran well. She passed the boost leak and compression tests so it was time to work on the drivetrain. The first things needing repair were the brakes. So that's why those got upgraded first. Since then, the front lower ball joints have been replaced with OEM BJs, they will be replaced again later on with a Whiteline roll center kit to allow for lowering when the time comes. Next on the list were the front axles, the inner boots on both had been corroded and ripped to the point they were useless. So those were replaced. When I picked it up from the dealer, they told me the car was "stock" but I found out that wasn't the case with one look at it. It had an Invidia Uppipe, Catless downpipe, and Q200 CBE installed. Since the car didn't come with an COBB AP, I purchased one because neither IAG or myself believed the car had been tuned after the mods were installed. We were correct, Stage 2 loaded with no problems and the car was driven to make sure everything worked as it was supposed to. No problems whatsoever.
I'm still hearing a grinding noise coming from the front passenger side wheel well so I think that hub may have a bad bearing, next time it's on the lift I'll have the tech look at that and see if it needs to be replaced...
On Deck to be installed in July:
Invidia Divorced Catted DP
COBB SF Intake + Air Box
Technafit SS Brake Lines
Planned for the Fall/Winter:
Planned for Spring 2015:
For the proposed build, this is what I've researched and planned for over the life of the car, feel free to comment/critique on what you think would be better, but please keep it constructive.
1. I want to keep the UEL header for sound, but that will come late in the build as I've understood the OEM manifolds are actually pretty good.
2. For my finances/build plan, a TMIC will work better than a FMIC as I am not planning on upgrading the turbo or building the motor for a few years at least.
Parts in RED have not been installed yet, parts in GREEN have been installed.
COBB AccessPort Stage 2 v310
Invidia Catted Downpipe
COBB SF Intake + Airbox
COBB 3" CBE (Possibly Invidia N1 Street, depending on when I can hear each in person)

Eventually the body will need/get a full repaint, and the body elements won't come into play until that's ready to go so these are low on the priority list.
Hella Supertone Horns
STi Hood Scoop
STi Rear Diffuser
Cusco Rear Diffuser Bracket
Sti Diffuser Bolt (4 Req)
RA UR Mudflaps (Blue Logo)
GrimmSpeed Hood Struts
STi Trunk w. Wing
I've had experience with KWv3 coils on my 370Z, and those are a bit costly for what I want. I've also had FortuneAuto 500's on my car and was pleased, just never had a chance to really test them. ISC offers all of the same qualities, for a lower price. I would really appreciate any advice/comments anyone has on the ISCs or FAs for the bugeye. It's also been recommended to get the BC BR's, but in the 370Z community, they had several problems which makes me hesitant to buy them for this car.
Super Pro LCA + Endlinks + AL Kit
ISC N1 Coilovers
Cusco Front Sway Bar
Cusco Rear Sway Bar
Kartboy Rear Endlinks
GTSpec 3 Piece Underbody Brace
Whiteline Front Rollcenter Kit

Not sure what to do now... lol :
For the daily work, the liquids...
Maintenance Stuffs

Farber Specialty Vehicles
We are dedicated to developing bookmobiles that are distinctive and innovative, using the latest and most advanced technologies.
We offer a full line of bookmobiles in order to satisfy the diverse needs of our customers. The FARBER COACH bookmobile is designed and built from the chassis up in our Columbus plant. Other models include the traditional walk-in style VENTURE; the M2; the cutaway style SUPER DUTY and F450/F550 bookmobiles. The FARBER SPRINTER van and FARBER BOOKHAULER round out our bookmobile family.
From Assistant Library Director Mary Stein, Baton Rouge, LA;
Libraries on wheels play an important role in expanding library services beyond local branches.
Baton Rouge's fleet of two bookmobiles have been roaming the streets of East Baton Rouge Parish since 2002.
The library's return to bookmobile service about a decade ago was part of the system's attempt to get books into the hands of patrons who couldn't easily visit a neighborhood branch.
The bookmobiles serve not only youngsters, but residents of retirement homes.
"Today, our two bookmobiles and several other outreach services vehicles deliver library books, present library storytimes, and even teach computer classes to more than 100 preschools, nursery schools and daycare centers each month, as well as more than 30 retirement centers, plus special visits to local schools, colleges, community centers and public events," said assistant library director Mary Stein.
Last year, more than 179,000 library patrons in East Baton Rouge Parish were served by these mobile outreach.
That kind of outreach is critical in a state where so much work remains to be done in promoting literacy.
To bookmobile operators throughout Louisiana, we say, let the reading roll.

Lortab 5
More Drug Shortages in Fungal Meningitis Aftermath »
"Nov. 2, 2012 -- Safety steps taken in the wake of the fungal meningitis outbreak have worsened drug shortages, raising questions about whether the U.S. must choose between the safety and the availability of crucial medicines.
Read the More Drug Shortages in Fungal Meningitis Aftermath article »
Lortab 5
The most frequently reported adverse reactions are light-headedness, dizziness, sedation, nausea and vomiting. These effects seem to be more prominent in ambulatory than in non-ambulatory patients, and some of these adverse reactions may be alleviated if the patient lies down.
Other adverse reactions include:
Central Nervous System: Drowsiness, mental clouding, lethargy, impairment of mental and physical performance, anxiety, fear, dysphoria, psychic dependence, mood changes.
Gastrointestinal System: Prolonged administration of Lortab 5 (hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets) /500 tablets may produce constipation.
Genitourinary System: Ureteral spasm, spasm of vesical sphincters and urinary retention have been reported with opiates.
Respiratory Depression: Hydrocodone bitartrate may produce dose-related respiratory depression by acting directly on the brain stem respiratory centers (see OVERDOSAGE).
Special Senses: Cases of hearing impairment or permanent loss have been reported predominantly in patients with chronic overdose.
Dermatological: Skin rash, pruritus.
The following adverse drug events may be borne in mind as potential effects of acetaminophen: allergic reactions, rash, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis.
Potential effects of high dosage are listed in the OVERDOSAGE section.
Controlled Substance: Lortab 5 (hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets) /500 tablets (Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Acetaminophen Tablets, USP, 5 mg/500 mg) are classified as a Schedule III controlled substance.
Abuse and Dependence: Psychic dependence, physical dependence, and tolerance may develop upon repeated administration of narcotics; therefore, this product should be prescribed and administered with caution. However, psychic dependence is unlikely to develop when hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets are used for a short time for the treatment of pain.
Physical dependence, the condition in which continued administration of the drug is required to prevent the appearance of a withdrawal syndrome, assumes clinically significant proportions only after several weeks of continued narcotic use, although some mild degree of physical dependence may develop after a few days of narcotic therapy. Tolerance, in which increasingly large doses are required in order to produce the same degree of analgesia, is manifested initially by a shortened duration of analgesic effect, and subsequently by decreases in the intensity of analgesia. The rate of development of tolerance varies among patients.
Read the Lortab 5 (hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
Patients receiving narcotics, antihistamines, antipsychotics, antianxiety agents, or other CNS depressants (including alcohol) concomitantly with hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets may exhibit an additive CNS depression. When combined therapy is contemplated, the dose of one or both agents should be reduced.
The use of MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants with hydrocodone preparations may increase the effect of either the antidepressant or hydrocodone.
Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions: Acetaminophen may produce false-positive test results for urinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Greenville man arraigned in purse-snatching case
GREENVILLE — A Greenville man was arraigned today on charges stemming from a Dec. 5 purse-snatching incident in downtown Greenville.
Jeremy Michael Williams, 25, of Greenville, was arrested and arraigned on Friday in 64B District Court in Stanton on charges of unarmed robbery, a 15-year felony.
"Officers were able to locate and arrest the suspect a short time after the warrant was authorized," said Greenville Public Safety Director Michael Pousak in a press release.
At about 2 p.m. on Dec. 5, an elderly woman was exiting her car in the back parking lot of O'Conner's Shoes in Greenville when she noticed a young man.
The woman thought the man looked suspicious, but she continued walking towards O'Conner's Shoes from the parking lot.
"Just as she opened the door, the suspect ran up to her and grabbed her purse," Pousak said in a previous interview with The Daily News. "Her hand was scraped up from him violently tugging the purse."
An employee from Huckleberry's Restaurant witnessed the crime and pursued the suspect who ran northeast, but lost the suspect by a nearby trail.
Williams is being held at the Montcalm County Jail on a $15,000 cash bond.

730N disable ipod "control" - streaming question
730n RHR with 2.120 software
When using my iphone 4 through the USB cable, I want the 730N to send the basic skip commands not the ipod specific commands. It does this fine with bluetooth streaming, but with the usb it detects the phones ipod capabilities and wants to only send ipod commands.
The reason for this, is I use a streaming service (RDIO) for my music. RDIO uses the generic NEXT and PREV commands to skip tracks etc.
When I'm plugged into USB the next/ prev/ pause etc commands all revert to ipod playback. So if I'm listening to the RDIO and skip, it skips to the next ipod track.
When bluetooth streaming it doesnt do this as the commands sent are the generic ones, but bluetooth just doesnt sound as good.
Any help is appreciated. Looking back on the 730n decision, the 430N would have prob done this as it doesnt have the ipod connect feature

So, you have bed bugs, or you think you have bed bugs. Before you throw out everything you own, you need to come up with a plan to combat them successfully. Bed bugs may have the ability to hide well, but hey, they're bugs; you can outsmart them. Here are a few ideas to help you get the upper hand.
It's always possible that you're mistaking something else for bed bugs. To confirm your suspicions try to find one, dead or alive. If you find one, take it in to a county extension office or professional exterminator for proper identification.
If your specimen has been identified as a bona fide bed bug, it's time for a thorough cleaning. This means cleaning up any clutter around the infested room, scrubbing surfaces with a brush to remove any hidden eggs, and taking the drawers out of your furniture and scrubbing them down, too. Be careful not to use a wire brush or anything that is strong enough to scratch the surface of your furniture. While the drawers are out, look inside the furniture for signs of bed bugs -- even if you don't see any bugs, you might still see black spots or discarded skins. If you have a powerful vacuum-cleaner, use it along the baseboard cracks, cracks in the floorboards, ceiling molding, and behind picture frames. After vacuuming seal the vacuum bag in a plastic bag and discard it in the trash. Take apart your bed frame and clean it thoroughly. After a thorough cleaning, treat all the surfaces, according to label directions, with Ortho® Home Defense® Dual-Action Bed Bug Killer.
Most rooms have small cracks where wires and pipes come in. These are bed bug highways. Seal them up with caulk. While you're at it, seal up the cracks behind your baseboards and molding after you've vacuumed them. Bed bugs can also hide in electrical outlets. Outlets are tricky, so you will want to leave them to the professionals. Never use any kind of aerosol or other liquid on any electrical source. If the outlet is not in use you could duct tape over it to keep the bugs from coming through.
You can take several steps to make your bed less inviting to bed bugs. Pull the bed away from the wall, and make sure that your bedspread and blankets don't touch the floor. Seal your mattress and box springs in plastic bags, which are commercially available. Check carefully to make sure there are no holes in them (if there are, use duct tape to tape over them). This will keep any bed bugs from finding a home in your bedding, and kill any bed bugs that are trapped inside.
Now that you've cleaned, sealed, and straightened up, it's time to call in the professionals. After all, you want to be sure the bugs are gone, and doing all the things covered above will make it easier for an exterminator to help you. Just be sure your exterminator has experience with bed bugs.

As an eco-efficient enterprise, Airbus has always strived to always do more with less – a philosophy underscored by the company's life-cycle approach, environmental management system and organisational structure.
Due to a need for improved global economic performance while reducing overall environmental impact, the concept of eco-efficiency has taken on added importance in recent years.
"Ours is an eco-efficient business whose objective always has been to carry more passengers using less fuel at the lowest possible cost," said Christian Dumas, Airbus' vice president of sustainable development and eco-efficiency. "What has changed is our perspective – we are now taking more environmental value into account."
Factors such as fuel costs, noise levels and CO2 emissions now are vital to any value analysis. Airbus' principal response to this has been the development of products with their full life-cycle in mind.
"When Airbus became an integrated company, we created our own environmental management system, which is now in place across Airbus and certified under the ISO 14001 standard," said Rainer von Wrede, head of environmental affairs within the Engineering discipline. "Rather than applying existing rules, we decided to consider not only the production processes and sites, but the operational life, end-of-life and recycling potential of our products."
In order to become a truly eco-efficient enterprise, Airbus also had to take a new approach to its organisational structure. "You need to have a directorate able to handle the whole process, and senior management has to be aware of what is going on in order to better support the change," Dumas explained.
Recent years have seen the introduction of increasingly-stringent environmental regulations on emissions and noise. However, regulation is not the main driver of the "eco-efficient revolution" Airbus has initiated. According to von Wrede, the most important factor is the efficiency of Airbus aircraft.
Ultimately, Airbus considers eco-efficiency a journey rather than a destination – an ongoing process with constant improvement – with a final objective of zero environmental impact, if possible.

January 4-6, 1968: Winterland Vanilla Fudge/Steve Miller Blues Band/Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee/Sweetwater (4th Fillmore)
January 12-18, 1968: Café Au Go Go, New York, NY John Mayall's Bluesbreakers/Steve Miller Band
The Steve Miller Band were probably on their way to London to record their first album. At this point, they are no longer billed as The Steve Miller Blues Band. The Cafe Au Go Go was a Greenwich Village nightclub located at 152 Bleecker Street.
February, 1968: The Steve Miller Band was in London recording their first album. Miller made recording in London a condition of signing a contract. While there, all but Miller are busted for marijuana (the newspaper clipping above is a wire story from the February 27, 1968 Des Moines Register).
April, 1968: The Steve Miller Band's first album, Children Of The Future, is released on Capitol. Records.
April 11, 1968: Boston Tea Party, Boston, MA Yardbirds/Steve Miller Band
The Miller Band seems to have made a national tour, but I only know of a few gigs. The Boston Tea Party was the a major stop on the psychedelic "circuit." Jimmy Page was the lead guitarist of The Yardbirds at this time.
April 12-13, 1968: Boston Tea Party, Boston, MA Steve Miller Band/Earth Opera
Earth Opera was a psychedelic folk-rock group on Elektra that featured Peter Rowan and mandolinist David Grisman, both of them later in Old and In The Way with Jerry Garcia. Earth Opera released two interesting albums on Elektra in 1968 and 69.
April 15-17, 1968: Garrick Theater, New York, NY Steve Miller Band
The Garrick, upstairs from the Café Au-Go-Go, was a small theater in Greenwich Village.
April 18-21, 1968: Café Au Go Go, New York, NY Steve Miller Band/Bunky and Jake
April 26-28, 1968: Carousel Ballroom, San Francisco, CA Steve Miller Band/James and Bobby Purify/Sons of Champlin
Tapes survive of all three nights.
May 8, 1968: Carousel Ballroom, San Francisco, CA Jefferson Airplane/Grateful Dead/Charlatans/Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks/It's A Beautiful Day "Fire Dance" Alton Kelly Benefit
The Steve Miller Band may have also played this Carousel benefit.
May 10-12, 1968: Carousel Ballroom, San Francisco, CA Steve Miller Band/Kaleidoscope/Youngbloods
Tapes of the Steve Miller Band survive for all three nights. The band engages in some impressive extended jamming, soaring off a chord or two for long periods of time. Lonnie Turner in particular shines on bass. On May 11, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady (and possibly Elvin Bishop) show up to jam at the end of the show.
May 17-18, 1968: Shrine Exposition Hall, Los Angeles, CA Grateful Dead/Steve Miller Band/Taj Mahal Pinnacle Presents
On May 18, the Jefferson Airplane appear as unannounced guests.
May 18, 1968: Santa Clara County Fairgrounds, Santa Jose, CA
Jefferson Airplane/Big Brother and The Holding Company/Grateful Dead/Steve Miller Band/Youngbloods/People/Sons of Champlin/Crome Syrcus/Transatlantic Railroad/Indian Head Band/Mourning Reign
This was the first day of the two-day Northern California Folk Rock Festival. Acts are listed in reverse running order (the Airplane closed the show).
May 30, 1968: Acalanes High School, Lafayette Steve Miller Band/Loading Zone/Country Weather/Frumious Bandersnatch
Teen Drop-In Center Benefit
The Frumious Bandersnatch were from Lafayette, CA, in Contra Costa County. This was the first time the band met Steve Miller. Every member of Frumious Bandersnatch ended up in the Steve Miller Band at one time or another in the later 60s and 70s.
June 6-7, 1968: The Hippodrome, San Diego, CA Steve Miller Band/Alexander's Timeless Blooze Band/Baptized By Fire
The Hippodrome was downtown at Front and G Streets.
June 16, 1968 Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA Big Brother and The Holding Company/Steve Miller Blues Band/Sandy Bull/Dan Hicks/Santana
Matrix Benefit
June 19, 1968: The Ark, Sausalito Steve Miller Band/Curley Cook's Hurdy Gurdy Band
Although the Steve Miller Band was billed at The Ark, a tiny hangout on am old Ferryboat moored at Gate 6 in Sausalito, I find it highly unlikely that the Steve Miller Band actually played there. However, it seems very plausible that Miller would show up to jam with his old pal Curly Cook, so this was probably Cook's band with Miller helping out and sitting in.
June 28-30, 1968: Carousel Ballroom, San Francisco, CA Steve Miller Band/Buddy Guy/Initial Shock
The Steve Miller Band may not have played on the 29th (see below). Given the state of The Carousel's finances, they may not have played any of the shows, or the shows may not have even happened.
June 28-29, 1968: Shrine Exposition Hall, Los Angeles, CA The Who/Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac/Crazy World of Arthur Brown Pinnacle Presents
This was almost certainly Fleetwood Mac's American debut (there is a small chance they debuted June 23 at the Carousel in San Francisco). The Mac was still the original 4-piece lineup (Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood) as Danny Kirwan would not join until August. The second night (June 29) Steve Miller Band replaced Crazy World of Arthur Brown, due to an injury in the band.

Hi again,
I guess everything we have been told right now is speculation. The specialist did a biopsy of her cancer, and in 2 weeks we will find out what their plan is (the only reason we have to wait so long is my mom is going to Hawaii for a week - yay!). So at this point I don't really know anything else.
Thank you both for the suggestion, I will definitely talk to my mom about possibly getting a 2nd opinion.
And thanks for listening

Ex-Citigroup prime broker sets up capital introduction firm
The business, which is co-owned by Joe Seet of Sigma Partnership, a hedge fund support company, will operate in the hedge fund sector, acting as an intermediary between funds and potential investors. Through its partnership with Sigma, the company will also offer due diligence, allowing funds to outsource this function.
Radley has worked in prime brokerage since 1987, starting his career at Morgan Stanley before moving to Citigroup in 1999.
"The demand for hedge funds will continue to grow as institutional investors, pension funds and high-net-worth investors seek to improve their investment returns by allocating part of their portfolios into absolute return strategies", said Radley. "The difficulty is matching up those funds that have capacity and emerging managers with investors' requirements, and the only way to do this is to offer a high standard of due diligence."

Drillers Under Pressure as Low Prices, Broad Uncertainties Put Oil & Gas Industry's Financial Prospects 'In Limbo'
Sharon Kelly | July 16, 2015
By Sharon Kelly • Thursday, July 16, 2015 - 04:58
At a climate change conference in Paris last week, Fatih Birol, chief economist at the International Energy Agency, had a blunt message for energy companies.
"We see some moves from energy companies in the direction of sustainable development. However, it is not at the level you would like to see," Mr. Birol, who will be promoted to chief of the IEA in September, told those assembled. "If they think that their businesses are immune to the impacts of climate policy, they are making a strategic mistake."
Other experts sound a similar note, calling for changes so fast and sweeping that they would be like an "induced implosion."

Study projects $20M impact from stadium expansion
LAFAYETTE, La. - The expansion of Cajun Field will pump $20.2 million into the local economy and create an estimated 143 jobs, according to an economic development study released this past week.
Once complete, the expansion will nearly double seating in the stadium to about 62,000.
The project is part of the University of Louisiana-Lafayette's $115 million master plan for athletics.
The impact study was prepared by the Lafayette Economic Development Authority.

Video: Questions for Teju Cole
Teju Cole is an art historian and a photographer as well as a writer. Find out what artists and writers influence him.
See Teju Cole's photographs on Flickr—in color and in black and white. You can also visit his web site to find out more about his work.
What are your favorite books/who are your favorite authors?
Poets inform my ear and my way of seeing the world. I read poetry much more than I read prose. Seamus Heaney and Derek Walcott are particularly important to me. For the ear, the rhythm—that sense of what's happening inside a line, how a line breathes. Walcott's "White Egrets," his latest collection, is incredible, maybe my favorite thing he's done.
Do you have any writing rituals or habits? Where and when do you write?
I make notes all the time. There are little fragments of experience that somehow call out to me, and I make note of them: either something I've read in a book, or something I see on the subway, or a thought that occurs to me in the shower. And this archive of fragments after a while begins to show family resemblance, and could lead to a work, fictional or otherwise. Other than that, I have no particular rituals. I write longhand or on a computer, usually the latter, in the morning or late at night, usually the latter, in silence or with music, usually the latter.
What are your favorite and least favorite words—and why?
My favorite words are the simple adjectives: big, small, wide, far, red, black, dark. I'm reassured when I see those words on a page. There's something sane about them. They don't try to do too much. Least favorite words? I think that might be barking up the wrong tree. The words are perfectly fine, but then they are pressed into service for bad causes. Take a good word like "freedom," which took on quite ominous tones after 9/11 and even more so after the invasion of Iraq in 2003. "Hero" was another sadly misused one. "Enhanced interrogation" might have been the worst of the lot.
Where do you find inspiration for your books? Was there any specific inspiration for this book?
This book in particular came out of a feeling of mourning for New York in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. How mourning can be an intricate and inconclusive thing. My biggest inspiration is the thought that something I write can comfort someone somewhere, in that rather strange way that grave works, works about the shadowed aspects of life, if done well, can make us feel less alone.
How does your photography inform you writing?
I try to see things from a different angle, in photography and in writing. Not novelty for its own sake but something that comes from an inner necessity. Photography has taught me that dropping down to the ground and shooting from there, or climbing up on something to get a different vantage point, can alter the feeling—I almost want to say the circulation of blood—within a story. I think of the example of the Soviet photographer Rodchenko who, through the smart use of vantage point, defamiliarized familiar scenes. So Open City is full of heights and depths: lots of birds, lots of airplanes, people at windows looking onto the street, as well as subways and wells.
Who are some of your favorite photographers and artists (and specific works)?
Favorite photographers are Cartier-Bresson, Lee Friedlander, and Robert Frank, who are a sort of holy trinity for me. Cartier-Bresson's early surrealist work, Lee Friedlander's excellence is less about a single photo than about the immense and bold body of work, and Robert Frank of course for the Americans, but even more so for the soulful and subtle work he did in Europe before then. More recently, I've been taken with the color work of Saul Leiter, Miguel Rio Branco, and Alex Webb; they all use color in an emotional way. Favorite artists—hard to tell, but Bruegel, Caravaggio, Titian, among the old masters. Bruegel's "Hunters in the Snow," which is in Vienna, is one of the world's greatest painting, though it is hard to say why since it's rather simple, or seems rather. The current artists I most admire are probably Julie Mehretu, Wangechi Mutu, and El Anatsui, all of whom are tremendous. They, and others, have got me very excited about contemporary African art.

26 - 27 October, 2015 - Mövenpick Hotel Ankara, Ankara, Turkey
Download the Agenda
Defence IQ will be returning to Turkey this October for our second Armoured Vehicles Turkey event –forming part of our Armoured Vehicle conference series.
A nation that sits as the gateway between East and West, the Turkish defence industry is emerging as a major hub for military equipment and support; the next decade will be a period of high growth for the country.
Turkey is aiming to achieve independence from imported equipment by 2023, so we will see continued investments into modernising Turkish capability and the acquisition of new armoured fleets. The conference will therefore outline Turkey's plans and requirements during this transition, looking closely at their capability development, modern warfare techniques and high-tech military equipment.
Armoured Vehicles Turkey 2015 will be crucial for detailing prospects for external industries and services on how to engage with this market. This conference is designed to provide unique networking and learning opportunities for the armoured community as we welcome military services and industry experts to the region.
I am delighted to announce that this year's event will be in association with SaSaD, Defence & Aerospace Industry Manufacturers Association. With SaSaD's formal support they will be acting as our official local partner, promoting the event to their members and ensuring synergy is established with domestic and international partners.

Curb Your Enthusiasm : Season 6
- Network: HBO
- Series Premiere Date: Oct 15, 2000
- Starring: Larry David, Jeff Garlin, Cheryl Hines
Each half-hour episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm features verité-style footage of David (playing himself) at home, at work and around town, as he gets into predicaments with fictional and real-life personalities. With cast regulars Jeff Garlin (as manager Jeff Greene) and Cheryl Hines (as wifeEach half-hour episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm features verité-style footage of David (playing himself) at home, at work and around town, as he gets into predicaments with fictional and real-life personalities. With cast regulars Jeff Garlin (as manager Jeff Greene) and Cheryl Hines (as wife Cheryl), the series features appearances by guest celebrities playing themselves or character roles. Candid, unsparing and self-deprecating, Curb Your Enthusiasm brings the off-kilter comic vision of Larry David--co-creator and co-executive producer of one of the most lauded comedy series in TV history, Seinfeld--to HBO. The series blurs the lines between reality and fiction, as David (playing himself) and a cast of real and fictional characters are followed around Los Angeles by a ubiquitous camera that chronicles the private, often banal world of a (relatively) public man. Having evolved from the 1999 HBO special Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm, this series proves how seemingly trivial details of one's day-to-day life--a trip to the movies, a phone call, a visit from some trick-or-treaters--can precipitate a "Murphy's Law" chain of misfortune to hilarious effect. Like George Costanza in Seinfeld, the protagonist of Curb Your Enthusiasm has a knack for getting himself into uncomfortable situations that end up alienating him from peers and acquaintances. To keep the narrative fresh and spontaneous, Curb Your Enthusiasm is shot without a script; the cast is given scene outlines and often improvise lines as they go. The result is an unpredictable format that's unlike anything else on TV.
In Germany the show is known as Lass es, Larry! ("Stop it, Larry!")In Portuguese the show is known as A Louca Vida de Larry ("Larry's Crazy Life")In Norway it is known is Ingen grunn til begeistringIn Sweden it is known as Simma lugnt, Larry!In Finland it is known as Jäitä hattuun… Expand

Sunday night's sixth season opener, "Meet the Blacks," is a gem from start to finish. Two subsequent episodes sent for review aren't as finely tuned, but still get high passing grades.
By now, what we shouldn't take for granted is how good the performances in "Curb" have gotten to be. [7 Sep 2007]
I defy the naysayers who claim Curb is in a rut: Who cares if it's not reinventing itself? It has become one of the most reliably amusing comedies on TV, taking little annoyances, indignities, and offenses, and worrying at them until they bubble into fantastically overblown debacles.
Larry is getting a little ridiculous... and a little too mean even for Larry. [7 Sep 2007]

American Home Shield AHS Over Heated In Texas Memphis Tennessee
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
i called american home shield to repair my downstairs hvac on 07/12/13. The contractor showed up 07/14/13 and put in a hard start kit (not a part my system came with), which got my condenser to run for 2 days. They would not come back for 2 days.
They arrived 07/18/13 and told me condenser compressor was bad (duh). He would have to notify AHS to order part, even though i live in a Texas metroplex that has AC part whole salers. AHS said it would take 5 business days to get compressor to contractor.
Contractor said they got compressor 07/30/13 and of course it would be 2 days before they could reinstall my condenser unit (they removed and toke my entire outside condenser unit). I found out later from reputable AC repairman that this unusual.
They finally got my AC back 08/01/13 and it is working, but they (contractor) broke my cement AC pad and did not insulate freon line. I went 3 weeks without air in 100 degree temperatures. Besides that I had to pay $420.00 for freon installation, because AHS only pays $10.00/lbs of cost. The contractor charged me $30/lbs.
I would not recommend AHS or the contractor (KOZY Services) they sent me to my worst enemy.

text: Technology 10 Surprisingly Useful Ways To Use Apple's Siri Written by Simply Zesty on 19 October 2012 Since it launched just over a year ago, Apple's Siri has been criticised for being too new for the masses and having too many flaws to properly take on traditional search. Like most people, I stopped using it a couple of weeks after it first launched, but after trying it again on my iPhone 5, I've been sucked back into it to the point where I now think it's something that I can't do without.I use it on average between 30-50 times per day, and it genuinely makes my life much easier. Now it still has a bunch of flaws and it always fails when I go to do a demo for somebody, but the improvement has been drastic and I'm sure that if you tried Google search a couple of months after it launched, it wasn't perfect either.Building a truly smart digital assistant that can answer all of your questions takes time and a lot of user data. I'd have to say that although dubious at first I can now see a huge mass market future for it and I know that I am finding more ways than ever to get benefits from it.Movie ReviewsIt turns out that Siri has a wicked sense of humor and to see that at its best, you can ask it about movies in the world. Rather than giving full reviews, the site throws back some hilarious mini-reviews that describe the movies in question perfectly.Sports ResultsThis is still fairly new and the amount of sports that it covers (especially outside of the U.S.) is fairly limited. Yet Siri is becoming massively useful when finding out how your local team is doing, or getting fixtures or scores without having to trawl through websites. You can see how this is only going to improve and become indispensable to millions in time.Restaurant ReviewsSince we all go out to eat on a regular basis, Siri is starting to offer up some really good suggestions. Siri ties into some popular rating services like Yelp to return answers based on actual reviews and the results are surprisingly good.We'd love to see a future where it used our friend's Facebook likes and see it tying in with a service like Opentable to book the restaurant for you all in one go. We are a couple of years away from that, but try out the restaurant reviews for yourself as you will be pleasantly surprised.SMS And Email When DrivingTechnically, you shouldn't be using your phone in any shape or form when in the car, but let's just say that you had to because of an emergency and typing was not an option. You can fire off really quick replies or messages when stuck at the lights without having to look at the phone. The predicative text is very good and although it does make the odd mistake based on your accent, you'll get used to it and find it very useful.Tweeting And Updating FacebookTwitter and Facebook are being integrated further into iOS and one of the best tips is that you can tweet and send messages to Facebook and without having to open the app. You might have to check spelling and other parts of your message before sending, but it works and it is the most efficient way of updating your social media profiles.Beating People In ArgumentsWe all sit in restaurants, bars and with friends and have arguments that are invariably resolved by going to Google or Wikipedia. What I've noticed recently though is that I can find the answers twice as fast as my friends by using Siri.It might seem obvious, but asking your phone is far quicker than having to search for the answers. Of course, it will often default to regular search results, but for simple queries like capital cities, results, and linear questions, it's provided by the likes of Wolfram Alpha. Siri can come out trumps and will do so much quicker than anything else.Answering Large Volumes Of EmailsLike most people, I get hundreds of emails every single day and I mark most of them to "reply later" during the day - with a view to answering them all when I get some time. Come evening, I'm pretty tired but I've worked out a system that allows me to blast through about 50 emails in 30 minutes using only Siri. They are all a couple of lines long and I have to do them in a quiet room, but I could never get through the volume I do without having it.Set Your AlarmThe first time you set the alarm through Siri, you'll find it's one of the most satisfying ways of using it because as they say in the commercials: "It just works." Because it's your alarm and you'll be so worried about it actually working, you will probably double-check it a few times but once you do get used to it, you won't look back.Play A Specific SongRather than having to open up your music and scroll through artists, you can literally just ask Siri to open up a specific song and it will take you straight to that tune. You can do it by artist or playlist and it really is a super way of navigating through your music.Open Apps QuicklyMost apps are easy to find on your phone, but sometimes it can take ages to find the one you're looking for, especially when you need them in a hurry and they're in folders. All those problems vanish though when you just click the Siri button and ask it to open the app for you. You'll be surprised at just how quick it does it for you.

Better to hedge with Leaps or front month options?
So I will be holding/bullish on something for as far as I can project. Just to verify, it would be more cost effective to buy a put that has an expiration that is far out into the future, than to buy puts every month? Assuming the same strike price that is. Although if I do buy puts every month, I could adjust the strike price monthly as the underlying moves.
I'm not looking to make money on this options position, only to hedge in case of a black swan event happens. Therefore I am fine if the option expires worthless and I lose the premium. Granted, I would not mind it if I sell my option position for a profit if the underlying asset did move towards the strike price.
So Leaps > near month options solely for hedging purposes? Or perhaps a put with an expiration that is between the two?

Granted, I would not mind it if I sell my option position for a profit if the underlying asset did move towards the strike price.
I think the determining factor is the time frame of your investment. If you're planning to hold the underlying for, say, ten years, then hedging with a put may not make sense because you'll likely be able to tolerate short-term price drops. If you envision a shorter time period for reaching your price target then your expectations can help you choose a strike price and expiration month. Also, you'll have some idea of how much option premium you're willing to pay.
In the end, as always, it's risk versus reward.
To offset some of that higher cost, you might consider doing a collar. That's where you buy the put and sell a call to make it cheaper. But make sure you don't get too greedy on the call side. People try to create zero cost collars and end up giving up their stock before they're ready.
When buying puts for protection, the first truth is that it is an expensive proposition. Much of the time, you will lose more on the puts than you gain from an increase in the stock price. Thus, before embarking on this play, be certain that you truly want to own stock and puts.
Just a note: In case you are unaware, owning stock plus a specific put gives you a position that is equivalent to owning the call option that has the same strike and expiration as the put. Thus, you must answer this question: How do you feel about owning calls instead of stock? When looking at the plan this way, some investors shy away from the put + stock approach.
Your plan to use monthly options is very costly. However, it does allow frequent changing of strike prices . That is something of great value. The problem is determining whether that value is worth the cost of owning one- or two-month options.
The attraction of owning LEAPS puts is that they decay very slowly. However, we must remember that you own this stock because you are bullish. If it rises by 20%, your put option is going to be significantly out of the money, and thus, offer little protection. Yes, you can sell it and buy another put with a higher strike. There is nothing inherently wrong with that plan, but when you buy that long-term put, you get more than downside protection. You have an investment in volatility. By that I mean these puts are vega-rich. [Vega is the 'Greek' measures an option's sensitivity to a change in the implied volatility. It's one thing to invest in the protective powers of a put, but there is no reason for you to pay for unneeded vega. If you believe volatility will be increasing, then LEAPS puts may be right for you.
Not trying to discourage you. Just want to be sure you know what is involved with your plans.
Mark Wolfinger
NYSEGuy: I've thought about my time frame and have been siding towards LEAPs. I am fine with short term swings, but I am just afraid of the unexpected, as my portfolio isn't that diversified.
Doougle: Good point. I did not think of that and thanks for bringing it up. I've been selling a lot of options to take advantage of the high premiums, but the concept of high premiums completely slipped my mind when I started thinking about buying them.
Would locking up a high premium through buying a LEAP be more expensive than buying numerous short term options? I for some reason have thought that if you divide (time premium) by (time till expiration) for same strike options of different times, the longer the time till expiration, the less you are relatively paying for the time premium. I am not sure if this is true or not though.
OldFart: I just recently started trading and have been lucky enough to not be wiped out yet, as I haven't really been hedging. I know I'm playing with fire by not hedging so that's why I've decided to think about ways to hedge my portfolio now. My luck will run out one day and it's better to be safe than sorry.
As for 'marrying' the position...I guess I should clarify what I am trying to do. I'm not exactly buying and holding and selling 30 years later at a profit. While that would be nice, that's not my main goal. To come clean, I am very bullish on oil, which is the asset I have in mind when writing this thread. I see potential upside (granted it could be awhile until its realized), but what I see more is value that won't be lost. Even if oil prices drop, oil is still worth something in the end, unlike stock. I also feel there is more support for oil in case of a price decline, especially with OPEC and its production rules.
I've been holding oil and taking advantage of the recent volatility and just the fact that commodities are riskier by selling puts and covered calls. I am trading in a cash account so I kind of have to hold oil in order to sell covered calls. Since oil is part investment part 'tool' I guess, that allows me to trade options, my primary objective is not to buy low and sell high. It's to maintain an asset that won't lose too much value and has upside and trade around it. If my covered call gets exercised, depending on the short term outlook, I might just buy oil again or start selling more puts. (I've also considered rolling over my position if my covered call is in the money, i.e. buying back the call on expiration...don't know if that's smart. I would receive a smaller profit from closing out the position, but I'd get to keep my oil). If my puts get assigned, I'm fine with it because I'm bullish on oil in the long run.
But if a black swan happens, well, I'm screwed. That's why I need to hedge.
TK All-Star: Buying a put is expensive. I've been looking at some prices and it could take a chunk out of my profits. As a result, I am open to other ways of hedging, including making investments in inverted oil funds or perhaps even an asset that may be moderately negatively correlated like the VIX.
I do realize I'll probably lose more on the put than I gain from a rise in the underlying. But my strategy is to increase my profits with covered calls and shorting puts. Perhaps if I do enough of those short term trades, I can eventually pay off the LEAPs and start making profits?
I'm also open to any criticisms of my trading plan. It has worked well so far. Compared to my 401K which has made like 0.2% in 4 months (and that's with about 80% in bonds, which is the complete opposite of what I should be doing for my age) and I've only been trading for 3 months, active management has so far beat a passive management style. Now, I just hope I can stay consistent.
Whew long post!

Steamboat Springs Jani Sutherland will be left high and dry when the public lap swimming pool at Steamboat Springs Health and Recreation closes next week.
Sutherland has many miles to swim before she rests, and she'll have to add some commuting miles to Craig in order to swim laps for the next 10 weeks.
Sutherland, 51, has qualified for the U.S. Masters National Swimming Championships in Santa Clara, Calif., in May. She's scheduled to compete in both the shortest and longest events in the swim meet the 50-meter and 1,650-meter freestyle races.
Now, Sutherland's training schedule is all wet because the lap pool at Steamboat Springs Health and Recreation Association is set to close for at least two months beginning Feb. 26.
Health and Recreation Manager Pat Carney said Thursday the lap pool only will close Monday for its first major refurbishment since it was built in 1968. It isn't expected to reopen until the first week in May, and only then if the construction crews can get five consecutive days of dry weather in April. Construction crews need the dry weather in order to plaster the walls and bottom of the pool.
Carney stressed that only the lap pool will be affected. All of the other facilities at Health and Recreation, including the smaller hot pools and the water slide, will remain open throughout the work.
The renovation of the pool is expected to cost $300,000, Carney said.
There are a number of reasons to renovate the pool, Carney said, but the decision to undertake it was brought on by the fact that the "skimmer lines" around the edge of the pool no longer function adequately.
The skimmer lines filter small pieces of debris out of the water and currently, pool personnel cannot keep the pool as clean as they would like. Carney said the management of the Ramada Hilltop Vacation Suites will make its 60-foot pool available to Health and Recreation members at no cost.

If Justin Trudeau was more concerned about winning the Liberal leadership than winning the next election, not only would his party have more registered supporters, but 2015 would almost certainly look more rouge.
It may seem counter-intuitive to blame the ever-popular Justin Trudeau for the Liberal Party's lower than expected supporter registration numbers, after all his campaign was so successful in signing them up, but in resting on his laurels and saving funds for the next election, Trudeau is exactly the person to blame.
The current problem for the Liberals is that of the almost 300,000 Canadians who signed up to vote in their leadership contest, not even 90,000 are currently eligible. Though a slim share of the responsibility falls on the party's overly bureaucratic method of registering supporters, most of the failure to register those who had signed up falls on Trudeau's shoulders.
Of the current 8 contenders to lead the third place party, Justin Trudeau is by far the most popular. He has raised close to if not more than a million dollars in his bid to be leader (More than double his closest competitor), he has signed up over 150,000 supporters (More than half of the total), and he has the largest volunteer organization. With such vast campaign resources, rivaling his own party's, it is stupefying that he and his team did not expend even a fraction of funds to ensure more supporters registered.
But it is not hard to see why.
Elections Canada mandates that upon the resolution of a leadership campaign, "Surplus funds have to be transferred to the registered party holding the leadership contest." There is little doubt that Justin's justification for conserving campaign finances is based on the perceived certainty of him becoming leader and thus the necessity to have a war chest ready on Day 1. However in focusing on 2015, he not only undermines the present condition of the Liberal Party, but undermines his own electoral future.
If Justin Trudeau and his organizers had spent just a portion of their overwhelming resources on outreach, merely collecting the low hanging fruit of self-identified and interested supporters than not only would the Liberals have avoided this embarrassment, but there would be tens, if not hundreds, of thousands more politically engaged Canadians connected to the party. Such a benefit today would have paid dividends in 2015, with interest.
Though Justin Trudeau will still more than likely be elected Liberal Leader, and in the next election run a great campaign, it would have been far better, for him and the party, if he hadn't done it at the expense of this one.

Liberals Should Blame Trudeau For Few Supporters
If Justin Trudeau was more concerned about winning the Liberal leadership than winning the next election, not only would his party have more registered supporters, but 2015 would almost certainly look more rouge.

I think you are perhaps not thinking through the value of supporters to the party, vs the leadership campaigns. The Liberal Party already has the contact data for the supporters. The added utility of having them actually cast their ballot for leader is negligible, unless you are a candidate in the leadership race. There will be many more rewarding opportunities to engage those supporters in the coming months and years. So long as the Liberal Party works out new ways to recruit supporters, this is only the beginning of a huge and ongoing data collection recruiting drive. At least I hope it is, lol. I do not think that Trudeau exactly sat on his laurels counting email signups. His campaign made hundreds of thousands of phone calls. That is actually the problem, those phone calls did not result in enough email addresses being collected. That is at the root of the current imbroglio.

Data does not make a political party.
Besides the coldness of your comment, the idea that not further engaging a very sizeable portion of the electorate, ingratiating them into the party, is a critical mistake.
The Obama campaign was the largest data driven campaign to date but it was successful because of the historic grassroots effort to engage potential voters BEFORE the election.
I think it's more than obvious Trudeau saved resources for the general election, this is seen in less than adequate phone-banking (little follow up if any), no use of mailers, no or almost zero use of ads, and no spending in strengthening organization on the ground.

I think you are being presumptuous. I think you should also question why JM and MHF are saying "well rules are rules" thinking of the success of their leadership campaigns, rather than thinking about the potential disengaging the pool of people who haven't had the opportunity to register with the LPC, the complete antithesis to what this leadership and what this part should be about.

It seems to me that this post represents the situation for teachers in Britain as much as in the U.S.A.
As we start a new academic year here in my country we have the usual debates about over-inflated exam grades and the so-called paucity of teaching in our Primary schools.
I said to my brother (a librarian not a teacher) yesterday, that the problem with the Politicians, the businessmen, the media pundits is that they have no real understanding of what it feels like to be a teacher.
I am now retired after many years of teaching. I am not spending many hours getting my classroom ready for the next year of teaching.I am not having to attend the endless staff meetings where headteachers look at masses of data.
Children are not data and there is so much that is immeasureable as the post says.
What is important is to repeat the message. TEACHERS MATTER…they are significant….. they help to change the world. Have a great year in whatever educational setting you teach in.
It seems to me that this post represents the situation for teachers in Britain as much as in the U.S.A.

PARK RIDGE, Ill. -- Seniors Patrick Biondi (Woodhaven, Mich./Divine Child) and Ben Ballantine (Napa, Calif./Napa) and junior Michael O'Neill (Powell, Ohio/Olentangy Liberty) of the University of Michigan baseball team have been named to the Big Ten Conference's Players to Watch List, the league office announced today (Tuesday, Feb. 12).
Biondi, an outfielder and captain of the 2013 team, was an All-Big Ten second team selection in 2012 as he hit .303 with 11 doubles, three triples, a pair of home runs and a Big Ten-leading 32 stolen bases. He led the Wolverines in stolen bases, hits (67), runs scored (44) and on-base percentage (.408). Biondi also had a team-leading 18 multi-hit games and four games driving in multiple runs. He is just three stolen bases away from breaking Michigan's all-time record as he enters 2013 with 88 thefts at U-M.
Ballantine, a right-handed pitcher, made 15 starts for the Wolverines in 2012, striking out 41 batters and sporting a 3.98 earned-run average in 74.2 innings pitched. He earned the win on the mound at No. 15 Purdue on May 13, allowing just one earned run with a pair of strikeouts and no walks in six innings of work. Ballantine opened the 2012 season with a win against West Virginia on Feb. 19, striking out five and giving up just three hits and a run in seven innings. He has an opponent's batting average of .251, five career wins and 100 career strikeouts at U-M.
O'Neill, an outfielder, led the Wolverines in batting average (.327), slugging percentage (.525) and doubles (12) in 2012. He was fifth in stolen bases (19) and sixth in slugging percentage in the Big Ten ranks. A two-time Big Ten Player of the Week as a sophomore, O'Neill had six home runs in Michigan's first 15 games. He had 16 multi-hit games and eight multi-RBI performances and had a .381 on-base percentage. O'Neill went 7-for-15 with three runs scored and three RBI in the Iowa series May 4-5 and had three RBI and a two-run home run in the Ohio State game on March 2. O'Neill currently stands seventh on Michigan's career stolen base list with 49.
All three Wolverines are on the U-M Leadership Council for 2013, while Biondi and O'Neill are two-time Big Ten Players to Watch recipients.
The Big Ten also released the top six teams in the 2013 Big Ten Coaches' poll. Indiana was picked to win the league, followed by Nebraska and Michigan State. Ohio State, Minnesota and Illinois round out the top six.
Michigan opens its 2013 season on Friday (Feb. 15) at California. First pitch is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. PST in Berkeley, Calif.

A collection of 9 feminine eyeshadows ranging from soft pearl to rich matte that make up a perfect palette for everyday special occasions. This palette contains pigment-rich, high performing shadows that offer an essential range of hues and textures from velvety mattes to silky shimmers. Comes with 3 Glamour Guides, Too Faced signature how-to lesson cards that offer step-by-step application instructions for creating romantic inspired eyes in minutes. Soulmates: Shimmering Nectar Kiss the Bride: Pink Petal Bouqet Toss: Baby's Breath I Do: Smokey Taupe Cut the Cake Heathered Mist Honeymoon: Gilded Fern Unveil: Smoldering Coal First Dance: Midnight Orchid Ever After: Spicy Chocolate
I have fair skin & light/medium hair (ombre right now) and these colors look so pretty on me. I feel like I'm going to be a flower girl at a wedding! I choose to wear these shades when I am in a girly mood. Usually paired with a dress and light lips. Yuli is a bit right - it is kind of hard to blend. Honeymoon is the hardest to blend. But you eventually learn to work with it.
I received this as a gift. I was never intrigued by Too Faced palettes because I didn't like the packaging, that they didn't sell their shades in singles, and that there were bigger highlight shades than the colored shadows. The pigmentation is really nice. The metallic glittery shades don't cause massive fallout throughout the day. I love Bouquet Toss because it cancels out the redness on my eye lids. Soulmates gives a wet look to the eye when layered over other shades. Un-veil and First Dance make great eye liner shades. I just hate that I can't buy my favorite shades individually. De-potting this won't be fun either.
I love that this eyeshadow comes with cards that show you different options...very helpful. The romantic look is warm and sensual. The eyeshadow apples so easily and lasts a long time. I love it!
I love this product looks so good and the colour comes out great and is good for every occasion and has made me buy more two faced eyeshadows
Not a huge fan of it but it has nice colors. The eyeshadows are pretty chalky and once I see that there is a lot of fall out I tend to go to other products that I have.
I bought this palette because I loved the packaging and the colors looked worth a shot. The colors truly are beautiful and pigmented especially honeymoon, the golden-green shade. That's where the praise ends. As often as I use this palette for it's nice colors the shadows are seriously powdery and if I don't tap off the brush the colors end up all over my face. The dark brown shade is so pretty with the lighter brown if you're looking for an all matte eye but the colors can be really hard to blend and can end up patchy on the eye. The star of this palette is honeymoon strictly because it's unique..if you can overlook fallout and powdery shadows this might be worth a shot. It's great to travel with and the palette is sturdy although the print has rubbed off a little on the cover. Overall, I would pass if I knew what I do now, although the colors are undeniably pretty.
I ordered this palette a couple weeks ago & to this day, I haven't being able to work with it. To start with, the eyeshadows are EXTREMELY powdery & hard to blend; even if I tap my brush before applying the eyeshadow I always end up with eyeshadow on my cheeks. Pigmentation is something the makers of this palette forgot to include; out of the nine eyeshadows, just about two have decent pigmentation, even when apply it over primer. Overall this is the worse eyeshadow palette I've tried, I honestly hate it. The only reason I haven't return it is that I don't wanna pay the shipping, otherwise it would be on its way back already.
I am really happy with this eyeshadow palette by Too Faced. The colors are very pigmented and easy to apply. I also like that the highlighter colors are the biggest because I use them the most to brighten the eye area and to make my eyes appear bigger in general. You can create very pretty and subtle looks for day- and nighttime. I usually don't use all colors of an eyeshadow palette but this one is an exception. I also love the cute packaging.
I love this palette, its very pigmented and pretty color, easy to mix and match especially the gold color, so pretty. Its worth the money. Nice palette, i will recommend to my friends.
