Glow report- Illuminizers

#Post 1 of 198 OFFLINE
Posted 02 March 2007 - 01:35 PM
So ladies, I took some swatch photos of all the illuminizers I have and thought I'd post my thoughts since I am a "glow" lover- I find with a bit of glow that I look years younger. Tomorrow I will be 39 but I often get carded, I think because I wear these glows. I am in no way wanting to look like a teeny bopper wearing glitter- I want to recapture the look of my 13 1/2 year old's skin. Mad Minerals- Satin Glow- this is a light ivory finishing powder that has fine shimmer. A great combo of highlight and finishing powder. Since it is so light a color, it really shows up as a highlight. Baby Bronze is actually a bronzer but since it has such a sheen to it, I thought I'd include it in my collection. This one is what I'd call opaque shine- like a pearl- so it takes a very light hand. I find it a bit too much shine to use as a bronzer. Valerie- Satin Sun- probably my favorite- especially once I get a little more color. It is a golden peach that just morphs into my skin. The shimmer particles are quite finely milled so you don't get sparkle but a glow to the skin. It is also quite sheer. Centerfold is a peachy pink. I find myself grabbing this in the winter- over a sweet pink blush it just works to make this youthful glow to the cheeks. Lumiere- Clear Radiance- This one seems to impart more color than glow. It is a rosy pink hue. Natural Radiance- a peachy brown hue that imparts a golden sheen. Innocence- a lighter version of Natural Radiance with an almost taupe undertone- glistening particles a little larger in this one and silvery. Baby Face- light peach pink- lightest of the colors- imparts a pink gold hue on skin. Can't beat the price on this brand. Bronzers/illuminators Sun Kissed A golden tan that morphs right into my skin tone right now with a tiny bit of tan. Great for winter to perk up dull winter skin and not too shiny at all. Nude- a pinker version of Sun Kissed- great for cooler skintones that want just a hint of sun look. Ambrosia- a terra cotta bronzer that imparts a coppery red bronze- this one is darker and could easily be used as a blush in lighter skin tones. Sugarberry- a mauvy bronzer- this one reminds me of BE soft focus glee. Imparts a rosy glow to the face. California Gold- a golden terra cotta that imparts a golden copper hue with golden sparks. This one is a little more sparkle than the others but not over the top. I'd nominate this one for a great eye color too. Monave- Glisten- a pale pink glow. Very close to Val's Centerfold only a tad more cool toned. Also a winter favorite to perk up a sallow, pale skin. Glow is a golden hue which is very close to Val's Satin Sun. A lovely light warm glow. A close second to Satin Sun in my personal ranking of favorites. Littlestuff4u pure minerals- Sunlit Ginger - this is actually an eye color that I found that is almost a dupe of BE- pure radiance. It is a peachy bronze which is really a complexion booster. Sandra will sell it in a larger container than an eye shadow so definitely request this. All the pure mineral colors are a bit more sparkly than Mad, Monave, Lumier and Val. Angel light pink, almost lavender hued. Very angelic, looks lovely on my daughter- it's a little more sparkle than I like on myself. China Doll is a peach beige a close match to Val's Satin Sun with a bit more sparkle. Fairy Dust- rose undertone with multi-colored sparkles. Way too much for me but great for the more daring. Could be used as a blush. All these colors are wonderful on the eyes and I often use them this way. Bare Escentuals- Clear Radiance- my first glow product. This was one of the two products I had to buy a second of in my almost 5 years of wearing BE. I used it daily. Only other repeat buy was foundation. This is actually more coral pink than Centerfold or Glisten. The particles are a bit larger too so there is a bit more sparkle. Pure Radiance- I fell in love with this when I got an eyeshadow sized one in a kit. A beautiful peachy bronze color. Unfortunately around Christmas I started having a horrible reaction to BE- my eyelids got red, dry and flakey (not to mention the itch that I was putting up with all over) so I have given all the high bismuth oxychloride BE products to my daughter, friends and family. I was pleased when I found Sunlit Ginger because it's so close to a match and much cheaper and no bis. O. Last is Rose Radiance. This one is too much color for my tastes. It would be a lovely soft rose blush but too much color for all over illuminzing with my yellow undertones. I also had Bare Radiance which I also liked but gave away because of the itch. It was an amber glow that was great when I had more color. I think this would be lovely on darker skin as an illuminizer. J Lynne Luminous Mineral Glow Powders- Overall I think these glows are the lightest and almost a little opaque. They seem to give a pearlescent color. If you are afraid of too much glow, these are excellent to start off with. They are very finely milled and tiny particles of "glow".They are listed from lightest to darkest in color. Candlelight- lightest color. Ivory beige. This is for the fairest or to highlight on darker complexions to really make areas "pop." (I use a tiny speck on upper cheeks to add extra highlight or for brow highlighter but not necessarily all over because it is so light.) Natural - light beige/peach- a nice warm shade for light skin. Imparts the slightest bit of color. Bronze- my personal favorite of the six- it just disappears into my skin right now. Similar to Natural with a bit more golden brown tones rather than peach. Blossom- peachy pink hue. Imparts a warm pink glow. Lovely- a pink mauve hue- a cool pink glow. Summer- reminds me of Bare Radiance by BE. a rosy brown/amber hue. This imparts the most color but it isn't what I would call a bronzer because it really show up more rosy than a tan. This would be a lovely highlighting color on darker skin tones or used as a light blush on lighter skin tones. Lauress Luminesce. These products are more like glow setting powders. The texture is featherlight with just the slightest hint of glow. Anyone who is afraid of too much glow should definitely try these. I did do a swatch because they are so light it's like trying to show the differences in a setting powder. Glow is the lightest color I sampled, a light ivory color. Glisten is a light yellowish one. Lustrous is a tan. These impart a little color, especially Lustrous, and just the tiniest bit of glow. These would definitely be great candiates for a setting powder without making one matte. I am wearing Glisten in the b/a sticky- page 10 with the Lauress Elemental foundation. Entier Face Photo #1- wearing Val's Satin Sun Photo #2 wearing J Lynne's Bronze with Candlelight as a cheek highlight Photo #3 Wearing Lumiere Natural Radiance. The swatch colors are as follows- Left, wrist to elbow- Mad Satin Glow, Mad Baby Bronze, Val Satin Sun, Val Centerfold, Monave Glisten, Monave Glow Right, wrist to elbow- Littlestuff Sunlit Ginger, littlestuff Angel, littlestuff China Doll, littlestuff Fairy Dust, BE Clear Radiance, BE Pure Radiance, BE Rose Radiance. Swatch #2- Wrist to elbow- Left Lumiere Clear Radiance, Natural Radiance, Innocence, Baby Face. Middle: Lumiere Bronzers- Sun Kissed, Nude, Ambrosia, Sugarberry, California Gold, Right: J Lynne Luminous collection: Candlelight, Natural, Bronze, Blossom, Lovely, Summer. I use the tiniest amount and apply with an angled blush brush starting at the tops of my cheeks and then continuing above the brow, nose, chin etc. once there are less minerals on the brush. A little goes a long way.

I think Satin Sun is my favorite but really it's between Satin Sun, Centerfold, Glow and Glisten. I grab one of these 90% of the time depending on my mood. Ruby2 told me about the J Lynne illuminizers so I have more on the way and will do a comparison of them also. (Bad girl, Ruby, for telling me about them... I got samples of the less sparkly illuminizers and somehow came away with a bunch of eye shadows too... fortunately your 15% code pretty much paid for shipping.) I think seeing these colors on the skin is a better way to see if it's what you want.

I got the Luminous collection samples- all six of them. Since they were less sparkle and more glow- I thought they'd be right up my alley. I know you didn't plug the e/s but you should know how weak I am. :wink3: I am pretty sure I will be pleased. I have yet to be disappointed with the recs I've purchased from everyone's raves.

SWAT Cadet Fitness Challenge
This summer, TIME For Kids Kid Reporter Taylor Pannell visited the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to observe the SWAT Cadet Fitness Challenge. The Cadet Program was developed by the LAPD to give youths an opportunity to learn life-long skills that will help them to make a positive impact in their communities.
Like the first Fitness Challenge event, the second was held in honor of Randy Simmons, the first LAPD SWAT officer killed in the line of duty. To complete the rigorous obstacle course, the Cadets must push themselves physically, but also work as a team to reach their goal. Join TFK for an inside look at the historic Elysian Park academy, and what it takes to tackle the LAPD SWAT Cadet Fitness Challenge! (Videography by Luann Pannell/Editing by Adrian Yu)

Visual Cues for Crossbills
When I visited Cook Forest on Tuesday I found very few crossbills. I was amazed by this because the flocks of white-winged crossbills numbered in the hundreds only two weeks ago.
Crossbills eat the seeds of pine, spruce and hemlock cones. White-winged crossbills prefer to eat from hemlocks because these cones are easier for them to open with their smaller bills. Cook Forest is loaded with hemlocks but many of them did not produce cones this year. Had the crossbills run out of their preferred food and left the area?
I wondered all this while I was standing near cone-laden hemlocks at the Ridge Campground. "There are lots of cones on these trees," I thought, "Why aren't the birds here?"
Then I looked more closely. More than half the cones were gray and puffed open (above right). The other cones were rusty brown and closed more tightly (above left). I plucked one of each to examine more closely. The brown cones had seeds, the gray cones did not. A seed fell out of the brown cone (shown here between the two).
Now that I knew what to look for I could see that most of the cones on the tree were gray. It was so easy to see the color difference that I imagined the crossbills flying over and thinking, "Nope. That one's not worth visiting!" This was true of all five hemlocks near me. No wonder the crossbills weren't in this grove.
Just as soon as I answered one question I had two more: Do seed-laden cones reflect ultraviolet light differently than empty ones? If so, the birds could recognize a food-laden tree even more quickly. And do the cones on pines and spruces show similar color differences?
I have more to learn in 2009.

I don't know how easily old cones are "shed". but I wonder if the gray cones are old ones from the previous season.
# Kate St. Johnon 01 Jan 2009 at 9:25 am
Great comment! Mark also emailed me a link that explains that hemlock "opened cones may persist on the trees for slightly more than 1 year." See http://www.na.fs.fed.us/spfo/pubs/silvics_manual/Volume_1/tsuga/canadensis.htm

This American fashion designer has worked for the likes of Ralph Lauren, J Crew and Madewell, but the Tim Hamilton Spring 2011 newest collection is more avant-garde than his previous gigs.
At first glance, the collection may seem like your typical haute-preppy fashion collection, but after viewing the half-jackets, sock booties, skin-tight pants and Victorian lace-up shorts, you'll realize that the Tim Hamilton Spring 2011 collection is more Rick Owens than Ralph Lauren -- or maybe it's the perfect blend of both.

Humanist Pride at Interfaith Service
On Saturday (15th June) I spoke at the Boston Pride Interfaith Service at Old South Church, a service designed to show support for the LGBTQ community. I was asked to provide a reading to preface the offering, which was held in support of PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays). I chose to read a poem by Algernon D. Black, formerly a leading light in the Ethical Culture movement. [Read more…]

Landon Donovan's busy schedule
When Jurgen Klinsmann's U.S. roster for this month's friendlies is announced later this week, there's a good chance Landon Donovan's name will be on it.
But that doesn't necessarily mean that the national team's all-time scoring leader will actually play for the Yanks in France and Slovenia. Should Los Angeles advance this weekend to the Nov. 20 MLS Cup, Donovan could skip the second match against the Slovenians on Nov. 15 and perhaps the tilt against Les Bleus, too.
"I think Jurgen understands the importance of the final," the Galaxy star told the blog Sunday following LA's playoff-opening win over the New York Red Bulls. "I would be shocked if anyone who's in the final gets called in."
That's the precedent set by previous coaches Bob Bradley and Bruce Arena, anyway; this isn't first time an official FIFA fixture date has fallen in the week leading up to the domestic league's championship match. What is different this time around, though, is that MLS scheduled a two-week break between the semis and final to accommodate international games.

By saying it "did unnecessary harm to the character" I definitely didn't mean the s/l made the character irredeemable or that it was written into the corner or ruined to no point of return :). At least not in my eyes. The character was and is viable after all that. However, I think the s/l didn't make much sense and wasn't that much compelling or dramatic for that matter and they easily could have gone "milder" and more "human" with all that.

We will not be printing programs books for 2016. We are still working out bugs with our new roster system.
Thank you
This site is intended solely for the fastpitch community in Minnesota. The purpose for creating MMFL Media was based on feedback from coach's at the youth and college level, parents and players. We were asked why we never put together program books for tournaments, or if someone could advertise on the fastpitch web sites etc. In 2011 we took on the challenge and started offering advertising opportunities to the softball community. It was a lot of work but we had a lot of positive feedback, especially with the State and National program books.
For 2015 I am again looking for companies interested in supporting youth sports. In return we are offering advertising opportunities to help promote your business. Your support will help with printing costs of the tournament program books that will contain, rosters, tournament brackets and advertiser's and will be distributed free to each person attending the tournament. If you chose to advertise in all 30+ program books you would reach approximately 800 teams and 9,600 players alone. The tournament locations are metro wide. (In 2014 we printed 32 program books and 16,000 copies!)
In addition to the program books we are offering advertising on our web sites, in the MMFL score books and NAFA rule books.
Thanks again for visiting the MMFL Media site!

I wonder?
Jun 21st, 2012 by Autumn Sunshine
John Steinbeck is a writer whose work does make me think. This really did ~
"I wonder how many people I've looked at all my life and never seen."
This is from The Winter of Our Discontent which was John Steinbeck's last novel. Reading this quote and wondering …
Now I'm really wondering
I do wonder how many people I've really looked at yet never seen, really seen who they were. Some people don't show their feeling and it's hard to tell. I am now thinking if I've not seen some for their true selves …
On the other hand, I am also thinking that I bet there are many people who have looked at me and yet never known me. I sometimes am a mystery, even to myself. I do also know that people sometimes look at me and "judge" me. I have tattoos, they are very ladylike, yet it's a know fact that some do think tattoos are evil. I wear leather because I love it, I love the smell 🙂 and I love how it looks. So even though I have "tamed it down" a bit, I used to be a bit more, hmmmmm … what would the word be? Maybe a bit more "unusual" . I still am the same person inside, but people tend to just "LOOK" and judge and there it goes.
I am so open minded and flexible with the way I look at people, yet I am left wondering.
The World and it's People
All over the world there are other people, looking around and they are maybe not "seeing" someone for who they really are. I wonder if life will always be this way? I wonder if we will always have so much that is left unsaid, or even not thought of. Why is it like this?
I guess we have lots to learn lots of think about. The world and it's people change and the way we look at things should change. We need to be more open minded, more accepting maybe. Don't judge by the "outside" is what it really all is about.
Any Thoughts?
Does anyone have any thought? I always wonder if someone out there reading is thinking the same as me 🙂 Did you have any thoughts like me?
In the end, what matters the most is that we do not only LOOK at someone, but try and get to understand them as well.
I wish you all happy wondering 🙂

Hi! I'm going to build powerful pc for 3ds max, Maya and maybe Zbrush, and NEED you HELP, PLEASE!
I did a lot of research about GPU rendering. People say that gtx 580 is the best option cause CUDA cores were better on geforce 5 series. and all that quadro and gtx 6 series are trash.
1. I would like to know about multi-gpu rendering. Should I buy 3-4 gtx 580 to increase performance? Or it won't work? If they will work, should I put SLI bridge or not?
2. And about gtx 590. So dual gpu cards are not that good because of 2 cores and how they work with vram. One gtx 580 will be better that one gtx 590. Is it right?
3. And what about quality of gpu rendering? people say that quality is not so good. I will have some noise and other trash on final picture. Is that right?
4. I also want to play games on my 27 inch monitor. Is it possible to install gtx 690 for gaming and gtx 580 (or two gtx 580) for rendering?
5. And should I buy dual Xeon e5-2690 for cpu rendering, or better stick with 3930k ? I saw that performance is about 2 times better in rendering on dual Xeon CPUs.
Hope to hear answers from people who own similar configuration or tested it. Not that rurmors that you read on other forum.
And some information: What about that Quadro series? Is it marketing ONLY? How come they cost too much and can't perform as well? Why can't I use TESLA card for 3ds max rendering? Nvidia claims that Quadro + Tesla will be very fast in rendering?

I Can't Wrap My Head Around Chris "Birdman" Andersen's Cyber Threesome/Catfishing
(Full Story) A statement by Andersen's attorneys released within days of the investigation asserted: "A female fan in 2010 mailed Mr. Andersen multiple letters and included several photos in which she was scantily clad. Chris and this woman communicated with each other and in 2011, this woman, who represented herself as 21 years of age, flew to Colorado, showing her required identification. After leaving Colorado, she became upset at his lack of interest. In 2012, she threatened to retaliate if he did not provide financial remuneration. … Mr. Andersen has been fully cooperative with the authorities."
At some point during his tenure with the Nuggets, Andersen had a consensual sexual relationship with a woman from California. Though she had allegedly misrepresented her age to Andersen, he appears to have broken no laws in Colorado, where the statutory age of consent is 17.
Concurrent with that, Andersen was the victim of cyber identity theft at the hands of a different woman in Canada. The identity thief was able to access Andersen's email, social media outlets, his phone, bank records, and even his video game console.
Posing as Andersen, the Canadian woman allegedly orchestrated the initial tryst between the player and the California woman. She then began communicating and corresponding with the woman from California. At one point, representing herself as Andersen, the imposter began making demands — some of them, sources say, sexually explicit — of the California woman.
The woman believed that it was Andersen making the demands and felt increasingly threatened. Eventually she went to the authorities. The sexually suggestive threats triggered the investigation of the Internet Crimes Against Children unit. When Douglas County Sheriff's office executed its search warrant on Andersen's home in Larkspur, Colorado, 40 miles south of Denver, police took his computer and other electronic equipment.
Investigators in the U.S. and Canada worked to connect dots, they amassed more than 4,000 pages of documents and found tentacles in multiple states. According to sources, there were allegedly multiple victims in multiple states — and may be other athletes whose identities were involved — but investigators believe one woman is at the center of it all.
According to Sergeant Line Karpish, spokeswoman with the RCMP, on January 15, 2013, Canadian police arrested a 29-year-old Manitoba woman in Canada for crimes in that country. She was charged with:
• Possession of child pornography
• Personation
• Extortion
• Transmission of Child Pornography
• Utter Threats
(She was released on conditions and is scheduled to appear in court in October. Sources tell SI that similar charges are expected to brought against the woman in Colorado.)
"It is my understanding that the investigation is fully culminated at this juncture," Bryant said today. "What I can disclose to you is that the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have completed an extensive investigation and put together extraordinary effort to follow what I can only describe as a Daisy chain of events across several states and two countries." (A Colorado law enforcement source familiar with the case confirms Bryant's characterization.)
Well that's how you fucking catfish. If Manti Teo reads this he has to feel like an absolute shithead because this was like a full on ruthless Catfishing threesome. And to be honest, I still don't fully understand it. Here's what I think I got out of it (easily the toughest reading I've done since college).
1. Chris Andersen started getting sexy pictures from some chick online.
2. The chick met Birdman and turned out to not be as hot as her pictures led on. Surprise surprise guys! A fat chick pretended to be skinny on the internet
3. Birdman probably only let her blow him real quick, maybe took her out to pizza late night, then sent her gross ass back to Canada.
4. Birdman then had sex with a 17 year old in California which is a grey area but totally legal, probably a smoke.
5. Fat chick stole Birdman's identity and started threatening the 17 year old.
6. Fat chick is charged with like 10 billion crimes and Birdman is completely exonerated.
I think that's everything even though I'm sure I missed something. Just an absolutely bizarre crazy story that reads like one gigantic PSA titled "Chicks are fucking Psycho". That's the takeaway message. Don't start internet dating because then you'll have your identity stolen and fake you will start threatening girls you've banged that can be considered underage in some states which brings in the FBI and investigations of child pornography. K, got it. Point made Birdman. Just stick with gay fat kids from Hawaii, WAY easier.
The craziest part about this whole story is that Lebron just married his high school sweetheart so Birdman still is doing better than that.

2017 Itinerary
Day 1 — Depart for Athens, Greece
Day 2 — Athens, Greece
Arrive in Athens and embark the five-star Le Lyrial in the afternoon. (D)
Day 3 — Cruise Corinth Canal / Itea for Delphi
Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cruise through the Corinth Canal aboard your small ship, a rare and thrilling highlight for sea captains and travelers. This conduit for the migration of civilizations between the Adriatic and Aegean Seas was first proposed at the end of the seventh century B.C. but was not fully realized until completion by a French engineering company in 1893. An impressive waterway that cuts through the Isthmus of Corinth, at only 70 feet wide, it is so narrow that only small ships can make its passage.
Arrive in Delphi, considered the center of the Greek world in the sixth century B.C. and today a World Heritage site. Ancient Greeks of all classes flocked to this sacred ground on Mount Parnassus to consult Pythia, the high priestess of the Temple of Apollo, on matters as routine as farming and as monumental as the declaration of war. Enjoy a walking tour through the spectacular ruins of Delphi's iconic statuary, along the Sacred Way that winds up to the Temple of Apollo, and stand at the marble Altar of the Chians, where both the common and the mighty awaited the oracle's pronouncements. Tour the magnificent Delphi Archaeological Museum, a treasure trove of ancient artifacts including a life‑size fifth‑century B.C. bronze charioteer.
Join your traveling companions on board this evening for the captain's welcome reception. (B,L,R,D)
Day 4 — Corfu / Sarandë, Albania, for Butrint
Cruise to the Ionian island of Corfu, Greece, Homer's "beautiful and rich land," where the varying cultural influences of past rulers are reflected in the French boulevards, Georgian mansions, Venetian citadel and Greek temple. Walk through the picturesque Old Town, a World Heritage site. See the Town Hall, once a Venetian theater, built in 1690, and the Edwardian Palace of the King of Greece. Tour the Old Fortress, a hilltop Venetian fortification whose twin peaks inspired the name of Corfu, "Coryphe" in Greek, meaning "peaks."
Virgil speaks of Butrint as a parvam Troiam (little Troy), a stop for Aeneas and his exiled Trojans on their epic journey. Today, Butrint's ruins, a World Heritage site, trace the rise and fall of three thousand years of ancient civilizations. From the Greek and Roman to the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, tour these revelatory remains, where ancient history is displayed through well-preserved archaeological ruins. The Greco‑Roman amphitheater highlights the city's rich cultural life during times of prosperity. Public baths, a gymnasium and an aqueduct built by Emperor Augustus offer glimpses of Butrint as a Roman port, while the intricately tiled Baptistery exhibits its early Christian symbolism. A short drive to 16th‑century Lekursi Castle provides a stunning panoramic view of the picturesque coastal city of Sarandë. (B,L,D)
Day 5 — Kotor, Montenegro
Montenegro is one of the newest nations in the world, having gained its independence in 2006. The spectacular Bay of Kotor, deeply carved into the Montenegrin mountains, leads to the charming town of Kotor, a World Heritage site known for its Venetian Baroque Old Town and impressive medieval fortifications. Following the walking tour, the remainder of the afternoon and evening is at leisure in Kotor. (B,L,D)
Day 6 — Dubrovnik, Croatia
Affectionately called "the pearl of the Adriatic," the entire city of Dubrovnik is a World Heritage site in recognition of its historic treasures and incomparable beauty. Enjoy a walking tour featuring the city's most famous landmarks—see the Franciscan Monastery and the well-preserved old city walls, and visit the Dubrovnik Cathedral and the fascinating Maritime Museum. The afternoon is at leisure in Dubrovnik.
On board the ship this evening, enjoy a specially arranged, traditional Croatian klapa performance of harmonized a cappella singing. (B,L,D)
Day 7 — Korčula / Split
The charming island city of Korčula retains its original 13th-century walls, within which you will visit the Abbey Treasury, home to a priceless collection of medieval manuscripts and artwork, and the 15th‑century, Gothic‑Renaissance Cathedral of St. Mark, housing masterful works by Tintoretto. Also see the house where Marco Polo is said to have been born.
Continue to Split for an afternoon walking tour of its historic city center, a World Heritage site built on the foundation of Roman Emperor Diocletian's retirement palace. Today, people live and work in this thriving, nearly 2000-year-old complex. Visit the Temple of Jupiter, considered to be one of the best-preserved Roman temples in the world, and the Cathedral of St. Duje, regarded as the world's oldest Catholic cathedral (A.D. 305) that remains in use in its original structure.
During this evening's exclusive Coastal Life Forum®, local residents will discuss contemporary life along the Adriatic. (B,L,D)
Day 8 — Split
In 1947, Ivan Meštrović, one of the most renowned artists of the 20th century and Croatia's most accomplished sculptor, became the first living artist to exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Experience his unique vision during a visit to the Meštrović Gallery.
Attend the captain's farewell reception on board this evening. (B,L,R,D)
Day 9 — Depart Venice, Italy for the U.S.
Disembark the ship in Venice and continue on the post-cruise option, or transfer to the airport for your return flight home. (B)

Britain's summer music festivals are bracing for a summer of super-vermin, as GIANT RATS look set to invade Glastonbury.
Experts warn the huge amounts of discarded food littering festival campsites will cause a feeding frenzy from the huge creatures currently plaguing the UK.
Reading Festival is particularly at risk, with most local rats in the area immune to poison.
Matt Phillips, from Urban Pest Control told the Daily Star: "If you show rats a food source they will flock to be near that food.
"So with festivals, rats will come in off the fields to the campsites."
Last year, there was pandemonium at Evolution Festival after a rat bit two music fans on the front row and a security guard.
During a set by R&B singer Raleigh Randall, screams rang out through the crowd as fans tried to get away from the rodent.
The rat - one of the regular sized variety - was dispensed with by a quick thinking security guard, who caught the rat in a cardboard box.
We suspect he wouldn't have had a box big enough to hold the mutant super-rats tearing a rampage through Great Britain this summer.
With giant rats set to be the headliners at this year's festivals, here's a playlist of appropriate music to soundtrack the summer of super-vermin.
- The Boomtown Rats - Rat Trap
- The Walkmen - The Rat
- Bob Marley - Rat Race
- Black Sabbath - Rat Salad
- Queen - Great King Rat
- The Automatic - Rats
- The Specials - Rat Race
- Napalm Death - Vermin
- The White Stripes - I Think I Smell A Rat
And obviously...

Broner-Maidana heats up in San Antonio
Photo: Soobum Im/Golden Boy
An enthusiastic crowd of hundreds of boxing fans turned out for an to the public press conference on the floor of the Alamodome Thursday as Golden Boy Promotions formally announced DANGER ZONE, headlined by a highly anticipated matchup between undefeated WBA welterweight champion Adrien "The Problem" Broner (27-0, 22 KOs) and former WBA junior welterweight champion Marcos "El Chino" Maidana (34-3, 31 KOs) on Saturday, December 14.
Adrian Broner: After I f**k him up on December 14, I'm willing to fight anybody. I don't care. You can switch trainers all you want. You can train a different way. That sh*t ain't gonna win you a fight. Skills win you fights. This is an individual sport. You can go lift weights with your teeth. You can go push cars for two months. That sh*t ain't gonna help you in the ring man. I'm blessed. I got the skills to pay the bills and I got enough will, my last name could be Smith.
I don't know if he's faking that he doesn't speak English. But after December 14, he's gonna speak English and I don't think the fight is going the full twelve rounds. I'm going for the knockout…The Argentine fighters are strong for six rounds. They can't go much past six. This fight is over shortly after the sixth.
There's a lot of people here that hate me, but y'all really love me. Hate is just love at the end of the day. Y'all just don't know it yet. So after the performance I put on December 14, I hope my haters become fans because I love all y'all. And I'm not going to take nobody's woman this fight. This ain't that kind of fight.
Marcos Maidana: This is a fight I wanted. I wanted to fight the best. I wanted to fight for the title. Adrien Broner right now is the champion so I promise you I'm prepared now, but I'm going to get even better prepared with my team.
Every fight I've improved, I've changed things in my arsenal. Come December 14, you're going to see a world champion in Chino Maidana. The key is to throw a lot of punches. Pressure him. Kick his ass. And that's what I am going to do.

Generally misleading advice.
The 244 characters limit is only if the string is evaluated using an equals sign or stored as a variable. In this specific case, the string is in a local macro and just needs to be handled without any equals signs.

Where I stayed
Got to Kanchanaburi and had the usual taxi/rickshaw type of hassle walking down to the area where all the gaffs are. Just followed the Canadian couple to be honest as they seemed to have done plenty of reading on the train while I was listening to my Carl cox and reading me Errol Flynn. Got to a place called Blue Star and the 1st 2 rooms they showed me were pretty pokey but the 3rd one was a classic tree house thing with big double bed and its own cold shower and bathroom, all for less than 3 quid. Its on the bank of the river above a swamp so would have thought I'd have malaria by now but no such worries, hardly seen a mossie tho I did have to wield my towel on some kind of flying maneater earlier, he's dead now. Settled in nicely and walked down to the bridge, very touristy but surprisingly mostly Thai people. Coupled with the fact that its Bridge on the River Kwai festival weekend there is quite a lot going on. Went to see the light show in the evening where they recreate the film but with loads of fireworks, light shows and of course a train!! There were some great photos to be had but me being me took my little tripod to get some good night shots but took the other camera bits out me bag (me nice man bag; check it out in the pics...true traveler now!!) and of course the battery ran flat after one shot and a bit of video. Was well pissed off as that show cost me one forty to get into!!
Just chilled out in the evening on my own (well with Errol), had a couple of bottles of Chang and went to sleep early...how long since Simon did that on a Saturday night I wonder.
Its been a relaxing day again today, well with lots of walking. I am going to have to stop walking 10 or 15 miles a day as my back is starting to get sore. Just as well I have my complexion as many people would find themselves sunburnt doing that in the heat of the day. Went to war museum, a few nice bits and bobs but nothing special. Lots of Japanese showing a lot of interest which is good, some Germans too, and a few french.
Am, really enjoying the grub. Eating 2 curries a day and you can add as much chilli's as you like. Lots of fresh fish too. And anything you can put on a stick, it goes on a stick. Yesterday had chicken on a stick, sausage on a stick and dried squid on a stick. As well as my fish curry and chicken curry.
See all the latest pics here.
Off to swim in some waterfalls tomorrow...Mmmm..

"I made this dish for a baby shower and everyone in attendance enjoyed it. In addition to sprinkling the chopped green onions on top of the spread, I also added some to the spread itself. By keeping frozen cocktail shrimp and chopped spinach on hand in the freezer, you can easily whip this spread up in a jiffy."

engine troble
I have two problems that I need help with. if this isnt the correct place then i appolagize for wasting you time.....here it goes.
It is a 97 tj 4.0 , intake spacer, headers (with no cat converter) also the 02 sensors are inop due to the after market exhaust (check engine light is on).
First, it takes atleast two attempts to start. If i let it crank for a while it may start the first time, but it would take some time.
Second, while driving down the road it hesitates and sputters. It feels like the jeep is surging while driving. On hard accelerations it almost feels like it quickly stalls and restarts.
My question is do you people think it is the computer making adjustments due to the o2 sensors. or could it be a fuel pump/filter/check valve issue. any other ideas are welcome

I love this product!!! My daughter wouldn't floss until she got the Platypus. It is by far the easiest and most effective way to floss for people who have braces.

Half of a 2012 FTC report on Google's business practices has been "inadvertently disclosed" in an open records request by the WSJ. Bizarrely, what was leaked was every other page of the report. MarketingLand's Danny Sullivan has been busy reading the report and tweeting some of the things revealed by it.
The FTC eventually concluded that Google had not violated antitrust laws by favoring its own services over that of rivals, but found it was "a close call."

Material Design–announced at Google I/O 2014 in June of this year–was introduced as Google's new way of presenting a coherent, beautiful user experience across apps, and one of the first pieces of software to exemplify the new look is the latest release of Android, version 5.0 Lollipop. But Google is going beyond Android and has already started incorporating this design scheme within many of its other products, including the online interface for Google Docs, for instance. One place that hasn't seen a Material overhaul (yet) is Google's main search engine, but thanks to designer Aurélien Salomon, we have an idea of what it might look like–and it's gorgeous.

Microsoft must be pretty happy with Apple's decision to include Bing as the default search engine powered web results in Apple's revamped Siri application heading to iOS 7 this fall. However, what does this all mean for Google? It could very well signal Apple's increasing desire to cut its reliance on services powered by its biggest competitor in the smartphone space.

Doing so would give you results through Safari using your default search engine (which by default is set to Google). Now, in iOS 7, web results will be displayed right in the Siri app, however, they will be powered by Microsoft's Bing– and not Google. expand full story

Google just announced on the Official Gmail Blog that Gmail users would have new options when searching within their inbox starting today. Users can now find emails by size by searching for "size:5m" or "larger:5m", for instance, to find emails larger than 5MB.
