You've probably heard the phrase that the "eyebrows are the frame of the face," which means we don't have to tell you how important it is to do a little maintenance every now and then. While having your brows plucked or waxed by a professional is one thing, trying to fill them in yourself is a whole different matter.
The main cosmetics tool that you'll need to complete this process is an eyebrow pencil – never ever use black, because it will look unnatural. Instead, opt for a subtle brown. Use it to sketch out the shape of your eyebrow beginning in the center and working your way outward.
Next, grab your angled eyeliner brush and dip it into your brow powder (again, brown, not black). Brush the color on the hairs beginning in the middle of your eye and working your way to the outer edges. Use the remaining powder on the brush to fill in the thicker area on the inner portion of your brow. This will deposit most of the powder at the outer edges of your brow, where it will look more natural.
Finish off your perfect eyebrow look by brushing them out with a clean mascara wand or brow brush. If your eyebrows are looking a tad too dark, use a cotton swab to tone down the look – it will remove some of the powder.

It is scheduled for Lombard with the initial Java 8/JavaFX 8 release (which has general availability in September, 2013).
I don't think there have been no check-ins related to it on the JavaFX 8 branch, so (IMO) there is high probability that the feature will be cut from the JavaFX 8 branch.
In the meantime there is a sample open source project which integrates JavaFX and the LTI-Civil video capture library, which you could try if you wished:

Detainees get their day in US court
Page Tools
The Bush Administration's attempts to keep the detention of the Australians David Hicks and Mamdouh Habib at Guantanamo Bay off limits from scrutiny by US courts is to be challenged in Washington today.
The US Supreme Court will begin its hearing of a case brought by the Australian pair, who have been in US custody since late 2001 without charge or trial, along with a number of other detainees.
So far the detainees have lost their attempts to argue against the legality of their imprisonment, because lower US courts have held they had no jurisdiction over the military prison in Cuba.
The Supreme Court will decide whether US courts have the power to hear cases challenging the "legality of the detention of foreign nationals captured abroad in connection with hostilities and incarcerated at the Guantanamo Bay naval base, Cuba".
The Government believes it can hold prisoners indefinitely, and that no court has jurisdiction to review the cause for their detention. There are 600 people being held at Guantanamo Bay.
Mr Hicks's Australian lawyer, Stephen Kenny, said yesterday he felt "reasonably confident" of getting a successful outcome.
"I don't believe a Supreme Court of a civilised democratic country would say to the [Bush] Administration and the military that they have a base where they can take prisoners and do whatever they like with them, without any court supervising their activities," he said.
"It would mean they could take [prisoners] out of their cages and simply shoot them, without any court having oversight of their actions."
Mr Hicks, who was captured in Afghanistan allegedly fighting with the Taliban, is one of a handful of detainees who have been listed for trial before a military commission on an unknown date.
The Australian Government has refused to try to repatriate Mr Hicks for trial, arguing it would be impossible to prosecute him here because at the time of his alleged crimes no anti-terrorism laws were in place. But it has obtained assurances from the US that he will not face the death penalty.
A US news program reported last week that a Guantanamo Bay interrogator claimed Mr Hicks had refused a request by al-Qaeda to become a suicide bomber.
The Law Council of Australia, which has been a fierce critic of the US treatment of Mr Hicks and Mr Habib, said it hoped the Supreme Court, which is expected to deliver a decision in June, would open "the doors of US federal courts to the [Australian] pair".
The council's president, Bob Gotterson, QC, said: "While I do not wish to pre-empt the . . . court's decision, we are heartened that this argument is taking place within the confines of the legal system, just as it should be.
"The Law Council has constantly argued against the use of military commissions because they don't guarantee the procedural fairness integral to . . . the criminal justice system."

Mehring Monday: Stock Sale
By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers | December 5, 2011 10:26 AM ET
A local professional sports
team is selling stock over the holiday season.
Stock and supporting the local team is going to be a unique gift for the
sports fan in your life. And it is
an affordable gift for you to support the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers.
That's right. The Green Bay Packers aren't the only team in Wisconsin with a stock sale.
The full details of being a stockholder in Appleton Professional Baseball may be found elsewhere on the Timber Rattlers website. (Run your cursor over "About" up top and click on "Become a Shareholder" on the pull down menu for more information) But, to give you a quick rundown it is just $50 and you may vote for the Board of Directors, attend the annual meeting, and receive two free tickets to Opening Day.
As of this morning, the Timber Rattlers have 229 shareholders with 415 active shares. Most of the fans who own stock in the team are from Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. But, there are owners from Arizona and California to Maine and Delaware. There are even owners from exotic places like the Grand Cayman Islands and Pittsburgh.
If you are thinking about purchasing stock in one professional sports team in Northeastern Wisconsin, consider the Timber Rattlers. There is no deadline on the sale of the Timber Rattlers stock. You can wait. But, then it wouldn't be a holiday gift.
This story was not subject to the approval of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues or its clubs.View More

35i LED taillights and turnsignals retrofit
The fact that BMW put xenon hid headlights, led headlight rings, and led taillights on my x3 is nice and as expected. But what were they thinking putting standard incandescent turnsignals and brake lights!!! :tsk: I know there are led bulbs out there that fit in the standard slots and I want to get them. Anyone know what bulbs will work on the F25??
Here here. I hated that.
Why does a 3-4 year old 3 series in UK have LED tail lights, and we're stuck with the joker ones, even on an M-Sport :-/
Any takers on easy ways to resolve? Can't imagine it would just be a buld replacement, probably the whole light cluster!
Ok I did some googling and looked in the manual. The front signals are PY21Ws and the rear signals and brakelights are P21Ws.
And by the looks of this, it can be done!!! I just want to know what bulbs to get for everything in the X3?? anyone?
they do it so they can easily update with the F25 refresh coming in the next few years...:thumbdwn:
I put these ones in the front (amber turn signals) and they work great. There is no DTC ("error") message reported, so they function just like normal bulbs. I wanted to try them as a test before getting rears and they definitely passed. Haven't bothered to get rears yet though.
Eventually that link above will die, so for future reference:
Item title: TWO AMBER No Resistor Required 7507 BAU15s PY21W 20-SMD LED Lights
eBay seller: maple125
will these above work for both the front and the back?

Justice Anthony Scalia is very upset because Judge Richard Posner claims he allows his personal views to influence court decisions. Tony Scalia wants the American people to know that he abides by the original intention of the Constitution and this has nothing to do with his personal views. "We are textualists. We are originalists. We are not nuts." He points the death penality was standard punishment so how can the death penalty be viewed as unconstitutional.
OK Tony, the original Constitution said slavery was perfectly legal. I do not think any of the FOUNDING FATHERS would have interpreted free speech to mean a corporation, but Justice Scalia apparently believed that was their original intention.
For many years Supreme Court justices said it was constitutional to have laws restricting ownership of guns. Then justices like Tony Scalia appeared and the court changed its views. Justice Scalia accused Judge Posner of being a "liar." Sorry Tony, the evidence is clear –you are a liar and that is the original intention of the Constitution!

Indiana's reign as WPIAL swimming champ ends
PITTSBURGH — Indiana's run is over.
Chasing its fourth straight team title at the WPIAL swimming and diving championships, the Indiana High School boys — like the rest of the field — couldn't keep up with Mars and saw their three-year reign as Class AA champs come to an end.
Indiana racked up 158 points — though only 46 of that total came on the second day — and finished in fourth place, a mere point behind third-place Chartiers Valley.
Mars ran away with the title, outdistancing the field by more than 60 points.
On the girls' side, Indiana junior Anna Paccapaniccia placed second in the 100 breaststroke to lead the Indians to a fifth-place team finish.
"Day 2 is always a tough day," Indiana coach Garet Weston said. "The kids put their bodies through some painful things, and then to come back for Day 2 is always tough. But we swam well all around. We had good swims today, and we continued with the time drops. The kids put good effort in the pool.
"The team places didn't end up quite where I was hoping for, but overall the kids left everything in the pool. I couldn't ask for any more."
The highlight of the day for the Indiana boys came in the 100-yard breaststroke. Sophomore Grant Hess, one of the two sons of late coach Mark Hess on the team, overcame an emotional day and put forth an inspiring showing to take third place in 1:01.45, improving 14 spots from his seed.
"The two Hess boys, they kind of pushed through some difficult times in terms of emotion," Weston said. "I can't give enough credit to these kids for the things they've kind of gone through emotionally and fighting those emotions and putting everything into a meet like this. It was very hard for them, but they did very well. I told them after the meet I couldn't be more proud."
Hess was the lone medalist for the Indiana boys on the second day as points were hard to come by for the Indians. Considering Indiana had only five swimmers left to compete in Friday's action, that was to be somewhat expected.
"Going back to what I said at the beginning of the year," Weston said, "some people outside of our program wouldn't have really thought with our numbers and everything, that we'd still be able to get a top-four finish at WPIALs.
"And also on the girls' side, we finished in the top five. We didn't have very many swimmers at the meet, but the quality of swimmers we had were very big and gained us a lot of points when we needed them."
Two other Indiana swimmers placed among the top 16 in the 100 breaststroke to score crucial team points for the Indians: Ben Peng took 10th in 1:03.50, and Wei Wei Wu was 12th in 1:04.27.
Indiana got the last of its points with a ninth-place finish in the meet's final event, the 400 freestyle relay. Indiana dropped an eye-popping 12 seconds off its seeded time.
On the girls' side, Paccapaniccia's second-place finish in the 100 breaststroke was the junior's career-best finish at the WPIAL Championships.
"I know she wanted the title more than anyone," Weston said, "but that's the thing about swimming: We've got two more weeks and we have states to go, so we have another shot at getting the time she wanted to post. We're going to get back in the water and we look forward to states."
Paccapaniccia touched the wall in 1:06.07 to take silver, and she was also part of the Indians' fifth-place 400 freestyle relay to cap the meet. Paccapaniccia was part of all three of the Indians' relay teams, all of which finished in the top five and could earn a berth to the PIAA Championships on March 12-15.
Gabby Bobak added a 10th-place finish in the 100 breaststroke for Indiana, and in the 100 backstroke, Sarah Henderson (1:03.06) and Anna Manges (1:03.19) placed 11th and 12th, respectively.
The Indians automatically qualified 11 swimmers — six girls and five boys — for the PIAA Championships, and there is a possibility that number could rise.
The boys' 200 freestyle relay and the girls' 400 freestyle relay teams "are on the bubble," Weston said, and could qualify based on time. The full list of PIAA qualifiers will be released Sunday.
Also, the Derry girls finished sixth in the team standings, two points behind Indiana. The Derry boys finished 17th.

Amid rising Euroscepticism, Romanians build new lives in Britain
By Luiza Ilie
LONDON/ABRUD Romania (Reuters) - Adriana Berindei ran out of patience with her small Romanian hometown of Abrud when she tried and failed for the 16th time to get tenure at the local school where she taught.
So she hung up her two undergraduate degrees and two masters in political science and modern history and moved to Britain to work first as a childminder and then a cleaner.
Though she lives with her boyfriend in a crowded house with other migrants and was hesitant to tell her parents she worked as a cleaner, Berindei says life in London has given her peace of mind. She plans to start a small business and dreams of buying a house with her partner.
"I was cleaning a sink one day and I thought, if only my mother could see me now," said Berindei, a petite 39-year-old who took to London right away. "Sixteen years of torment was enough for me."
Immigration has become a hot topic in Europe as the continent recovers slowly from years of economic hardship.
Anti-EU parties are likely to score strongly in elections to the European Union parliament next week, many demanding that borders be shut to new migrants or numbers be strictly rationed.
Yet EU rules mean people are free to move from the poorer east to the richer west of the bloc and thousands of people from Africa and Asia continue to risk perilous routes across the Mediterranean.
Reuters visited Abrud to better understand what prompted Berindei and millions like her to leave. Continued...

We broke the news last week that Liquid Daffodil will be releasing a notification center system called Unification for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 sometime in the near future (it's officially in Beta testing as we speak).. The system is opt-in meaning devs can just add a line of code to their app to hook into it. Now it looks like a competing system is starting to take form from Alex White, called NotifyMe!
The app is still vaporware at this time and like LD's, it uses an opt-in system for developers to use the notification system. The concept is interesting as it evidently uses the dynamic Lock Screen ability in Windows Phone 8 to generate new wallpaper (we're assuming) when there's a new notification.

The Bulldogs, who are now 9-9-3 overall this season as a result of the loss, trailed thoughout the contest as St. Lawrence scored the game's first four goals before a sellout crowd of 4,003 fans at Vermont's Gutterson Fieldhouse. The Saints came out hard in the first period, scoring 1:13 into the frame and then again with 2:56 remaining as SLU outshot the Bulldogs 13-9. St. Lawrence continued its offensive prowess in the second 20 minutes with a pair of special team lamplighters, one a power-play tally at two minutes into the frame and the other on a shortie at 5:46.
Ferris State, which outshot the Saints 34-32, got on the board at 9:21 of the second when junior center Casey Haines (Indiana, Pa.) netted his fourth goal of the season to make it a 4-1 game going into the final 20 minutes of regulation.
St. Lawrence began the third period by capitalizing on a Bulldog penalty as the Saints produced a power-play marker at 5:35 into the stanza to go up 5-1. FSU would hold the Saints off the scoreboard from there on out as the Bulldogs reeled off three unanswered goals in the final 11 minutes of action. Freshman center Derek Graham (Schoolcraft) scored his first goal of the year on a power play at 9:11 as Ferris would eventually register a 17-5 shots advantage in the final period.
The Bulldogs would receive another power play opportunity with a little over four minutes to play in the stanza and converted as sophomore left wing Justin Menke (Shamrock, Saskatchewan) connected for his first goal of the season with 2:30 left to be played. Ferris then made it a one-goal game with just 41 seconds remaining in the period when junior center Aaron Lewicki (Livonia) generated his team-leading ninth goal of the season. The lamplighter occurred after coincidental penalties as the Bulldogs pulled freshman goaltender Taylor Nelson (Regina, Saskatchewan) in favor of the extra attacker. FSU was able to get off two more shots in the time remaining but one was wide and the other was blocked by the Saints.
Sophomore Pat Nagle (Bloomfield) started for the Bulldogs and made 12 saves in 22:36 of play before yielding to Nelson (4-3-2), who took the loss and turned away 15 shots in just under 36 minutes between the posts. Alex Petizian (6-6-1) went the distance for SLU and concluded the evening with 30 saves, including 14 in the third period.

SUGARLAND: Stage Collapse Trial Set for February
A February 2014 trial date is set in the case involving the stage collapse before a Sugarlandconcert at the Indiana State Fair.
The accident, which occurred on August 13th, 2011, killed seven people and injured dozens of others. Although the victims have already received $11 million in damages, the trial will determine if Sugarland and the company who assembled the stage are at fault.
Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush gave depositions a while back and may have to do so again.

Windsor, Ontario – A special first-edition of the Fiat 500 has completely sold out in 12 hours in Canada. Five hundred models of the Fiat 500 Prima Edizione models, each with a unique numbered badge, could be ordered online yesterday with a $500 deposit.
"I don't think Game Seven of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Leafs and the Canadiens would sell out this fast," said Reid Bigland, president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. "Frankly, this just underscores the interest Canadians have in a youthful, stylish and highly fuel-efficient car. The 2008 European Car of the Year, the Fiat 500, is just that."
Production of the Fiat 500 starts in December, with the vehicle arriving in Canadian Fiat dealerships early in 2011. To become a "Fiat Follower," receiving news, updates and dealer locations, visit Fiat Canada.

Prime Minister David Cameron momentarily left alone some of Britain's top secrets, stored in a little red box, during a train ride over the weekend to Scotland.
The Daily Mirror's front page photograph on Monday shows the famous box, which is labeled "Prime Minister," unattended on a train table. Downing Street officials insist the secrets were still safe, The Associated Press reported.
Yet anyone walking by could have peeked through the box, The Daily Mirror said. The box is believed to contain the nation's military options for Syria, as well as information about Russia, pertaining to disputes over Syria, AP reported.

Amyris Biotechnologies will soon produce its first renewable diesel made from sugarcane using its newly purchased ethanol-producing mill owned and operated by the São Martinho Group.
Amyris now owns 40% stake in the Boa Vista mill and plans to manufacture sugarcane-based renewable products for the 2011-2012 harvest season. The mill currently has 2.25 million metric tons of sugarcane crush capacity.
The company paid R$140 million ($81.9m) for the stake through a combination of Amyris stock, cash and a note payable.
"São Martinho is the ideal partner for the initial commercial launch of our renewable products, providing complementary industry operating experience to support this first commercial conversion," said John Melo, CEO of Amyris. "In addition, the Boa Vista mill is one of the most modern, efficient mills in Brazil – a fitting starting point for the launch of our renewable products."
In addition to renewable diesel, Amyris said it expects to produce renewable chemicals for a variety of consumer products and industrial applications currently dependent on petrochemical components.
By the way, for more information on Brazilian sugarcane mills and other sugar-related industrial products manufacture in Brazil, check out the videos in our guest post by Joseph Chang.

Chicken Salad with Piquillo Dressing
Seamus Mullen slowly poaches chicken in a broth made with chicken stock, white wine and vegetables. He tosses the meat with salad greens, fingerling potatoes, carrot ribbons and Spanish Arbequina olives, which can be hard to find. To make this dish easier, roast the chicken in the oven instead of poaching it, and combine it with red-skinned potatoes and ubiquitous kalamata olives.

Nevertheless, the BBC says that Blatter intends to submit the idea to the FIFA Congress when it meets in Sydney on May 29-30. In a statement, FIFA said the President "will not tackle supranational organizations such as the EU but rather convince them of Fifa's approach." Blatter explained his proposal as follows: "Over the years and decades, by signing more and more foreign players, clubs have gradually lost their identity, first locally and regionally."
The EC spokesman, who has knowledge of the plans, replied that the FIFA President's idea is still "illegal" under EU law.

Last week 42 Rangers and Managers (and two dogs) from the National Trust for Scotland arrived at Barnluasgan to find out about the Scottish Beaver Trial. Every year they have a conference and chose a different destination in Scotland where they can all meet up, visit an area they may not have been to before, and experience another organisation's site. We were very pleased that they picked us as one of their destinations for this year, and really enjoyed showing them around.
We split the group in two and went for a walk in opposite directions around loch Coille-bharr. Although it was mid morning, and there was very little chance of actually seeing the beavers themselves, there was plenty of beaver evidence to be seen, and lots of beautiful autumnal views to apreciate. The groups were shown an example of a beaver chew stick and chips, and during the walk, everyone managed to find their own for a souvenir to take home to show friends and family.
They saw and handled a beaver skull and pelt, were told about the Knapdale beaver families, how they arrived in Knapdale, and how they have got on over the monitoring period of the Trail. like many visitors, many were surprised by how large the animals can grow, and this was demonstrated beautifully by one of the dogs wearing the beaver pelt!
A highlight of the walk was finding a large elder tree which has recently been felled by the beavers at the south end of the loch near their lodge. The teeth marks on the stump of the tree are always popular and most people cant resist running their fingers over them and remarking on how sharp their teeth must be to make such smooth cuts.
We were very lucky with the weather, and managed to get round the loch with only one brief shower before storm Abigail was due to kick in during the afternoon. A quick packed lunch was eaten, and then the group were off for another walk around Crarae gardens, where hopefully it would be a bit more sheltered.

International Outrage Sparked By Assumption Student
Friday, April 20, 2012
"He is entitled to his political views. He supports the massacre of innocent people," says Kolberg. "He is crossing the line of politics when he agrees that people should be killed."
22-year-old Forts of Shrewsbury was interviewed in Worcester by VG-TV, a Norwegian television station. In the interview, Forts said that the murder of 77 individuals last summer was brutal but necessary. Assumption College released a statement last night saying Kevin Forts is no longer on campus. Here's the statement: "Kevin Forts will not be on the Assumption College campus for the foreseeable future, and his conduct is under administrative review. Federal law prevents us from commenting substantively on student conduct and records."
"I believe that he used it as an unprecedented attack," said Forts. "I don't believe that it should occur again, but I do believe that it was atrocious but necessary in that it has raised awareness for it and Breivik did that with the executions."
Disgust before outrage
Clark's Kolberg says the interview topped the headlines in his native country. His immediate response was not one of anger but disgust, a view that other students at Clark share, he says.
"My first reaction when watching the news online was that he (Forts) has a defunct moral compass since he actually support that man's actions (Breivik). I was not outraged, but utterly disgusted," says Kolberg. "I also support that the killer has a right to explain his side, but he took away people's futures for his own personal opinion."
Forts has reportedly sent letters of support to Breivik's legal team, and stated in his interview that he did so because of the accused killer's image being distorted by the media from that of a patriot to one of a neo-Nazi.
Kolberg says that friends from Norway share his surprise that anyone could share Breivik's views, especially a student in the same city where they attend college. "They are surprised someone could support anyone who thinks it is OK to kill people," notes Kolberg. "He is supporting terrorist acts."
Other Clark students share this confusion, including freshman Patrick Burchat from Templeton. He was with Kolberg when he saw the news coverage of Forts interview. In addition to the shock, Burchat notes that the irony of moving to the United States from Norway and living in the same city as Forts was almost too much for his friend to bear.
"Of all the places for him to end up, he has to be here," says Burchat. "I don't know what would be going through my mind."
Despite this, Kolberg and Burchat kept an open mind and sent emails to Forts asking him to reconsider his position while offering their personal views on the matter. Burchat says that while he supports anyone having an opinion, Forts position is difficult to swallow.
"I explained to him that his political view isn't really focusing on the reality of the situation," says Burchat. "Innocent people were killed for someone's political beliefs."
Violent Past
In February, Shrewsbury police arrested Kevin Forts for assault and battery involving an on-campus altercation. Forts entered a not guilty plea in Central District Court in February.
Ramifications of radical views
Forts acknowledges in his interview that he stands alone in his opinions, and that his friends and family are more closely aligned with Norway's Labor party – a political establishment that he feels Breivik was justified in attacking.
"He's fighting against cultural Marxism and the Islamization of Norway and he found that the most rational way to accomplish that was through terrorist actions on Utøya and in Oslo," said Forts.
For Kohlberg, it doesn't matter if Forts is willing to stand alone. What matters is the impact his words have on others.
"When do I get to say this is too much? He is entitled to have an opinion, but I strongly disagree with it," he says. "I don't think he should voice it."
Fort's story is receiving national media attention, and has also garnered him recognition on blogs like The Freedom of Speech Observer. Kolberg wonders if his fellow student from Worcester has thought about the long-term consequences of his views.
"I also urge him to ask himself if he is really, with honest thought, willing to give up his life or the lives of friends and family so that someone else may further their political cause," says Kolberg. "He is asking other people to be accepting of doing the same."
Institutions respond to firestorm
Assumption College issued a statement in the minutes after the story broke, citing Forts right to free speech but that the school disagreed strongly with his views.
"Kevin Forts has expressed his personal opinion on the Breivik case, and as a U.S. citizen, he is afforded that right," said Renee Buisson, executive director of public affairs for Assumption College. "As a Catholic liberal arts institution dedicated to the moral, intellectual and spiritual integrity of the human person, Assumption College condemns the violence that occurred in Norway last July and does not support the opinions expressed by Mr. Forts. The College extends its sympathy to the victims of the violence and their families."
The Central Massachusetts office of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Massachusetts responded with a similar statement.
"We support the statement provided by Assumption College on this matter, since the First Amendment ensures freedom of speech, even for speech we strongly dislike or disagree with," Chris Robarge, the ACLU's Central Mass. Field Coordinator, said via email.
That does little to help Clark's Burchat understand Forts' motivations.
"I want him to see that this was no different than 9/11," says Burchat. "People justifying their actions to support their political beliefs."
