Some young talent forced to wait in wings
Some young talent forced to wait in wings
It's called organizational depth, and when you've got it, you're set.
You can stand pat and win games, be it now or next year or three years down the road. You can make trades to get even better because you possess valuable commodities that are needed to attain other valuable commodities. You can be creative and move players around the diamond to new positions to get your best talent on the field, one way or another.
And, in the case of many teams in the Major Leagues right now, you can afford to be patient with your best prospects.
But while it might be easy for executives and coaching staffs to run a big league team while monitoring those in the Minor Leagues, it can be difficult on the players whose futures are yet to be written. And it can be difficult for the fans who believe that those guys should be in the big leagues now -- because they're better than the veterans occupying their spaces in lineups.
It's called being a blocked prospect, and it might be a "good" problem, but if teams wait too long, it can turn into a real problem. Here are a few examples of prospects who appear to be blocked.
Mike Trout, Angels: Trout, who was ranked prior to this year by MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo as the No. 3 prospect in all of baseball, has watched his parent club keep Torii Hunter, Vernon Wells, Peter Bourjos and Bobby Abreu in the outfield mix while he embarked on a season that has begun at Triple-A Salt Lake.
Trout has the advantage of being only 20 years old, and he did get a Major League look last year, hitting five homers and driving in 16 runs while batting .220 in 123 at-bats. The Angels still love Trout, who has five-tool potential, but he had a nasty virus entering Spring Training that caused him to lose 20 pounds, experienced shoulder tendinitis and never quite caught up. Then again, with high-priced talent such as Wells, Hunter and Abreu sharing at-bats, Trout likely wasn't going to make the big club anyway.
"Obviously, your goal is to get to the big leagues," Trout said. "But I guess I'll go to Salt Lake and try to put up some good numbers, win some games and have some fun."
It's the right attitude to have, especially for a 20-year-old, and especially when Wells, who hit .218 last year, is on the books for three more years at $21 million per season. The Angels can wait on Trout, but how much longer will they wait?
"He's had a lot of pressure and expectations put on him, but he's handled it well," Bourjos said when Trout was sent down. "I think obviously he's disappointed, but he's going to have a long career. He's such an impressive player and athlete, and this is just a little bump in the road."
Yasmani Grandal, Padres: Grandal is a 23-year-old catcher who jumped from Single-A to Triple-A in the Reds system before being shipped to the Padres over the winter in the Mat Latos deal. The Padres love his power potential, they love his defensive potential, and they love his work ethic. But since he has barely 400 at-bats in the Minor Leagues, the team prefers to have him develop at Triple-A Tucson this year.
And then there's the fact that San Diego just announced a three-year extension that will guarantee their starting catcher, Nick Hundley, $9 million through 2014. That means San Diego will go with a veteran while continuing to wait for Grandal to develop.
"To the extent we have too much catching, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it," Padres general manager Josh Byrnes said. "It seems like teams have that on paper, but a lot of things happen where it never turns out that way.
"I don't view it as an overcrowded situation. It might be that one day, but at this point, no."
Alex Cobb/Chris Archer/Alex Torres, Rays: Tampa Bay is so deep in the starting pitching department that Wade Davis is in its bullpen and Cobb, Archer (No. 74 on MLB.com's top 100) and Torres, all of whom are on a quick rise through the system, are still in the Minors.
Cobb actually made nine starts for the Rays last year over three stints with the big club, and he fared well, going 3-2 with a 3.42 ERA before his season was cut short in August because of a blood clot and blockage in the area of his first right rib. The Rays still like him, and they still like Archer and the left-hander Torres, who appeared in four Major League games as a reliever last year, but with a staff as young and good as the Rays' big league rotation, it remains to be seen how general manager Andrew Friedman will play his many hands.
"It's frustrating," Cobb said. "I [jokingly] told them it stinks being in this organization at this time. But if I wasn't in this organization, I wouldn't be the pitcher I am right now. I might not have even had the opportunity to be the pitcher I am, so it's Catch-22. If you want to be [upset] and focus on these few months not being in the big leagues, you can. But I just don't see the reason of being too upset about it right now."
Matt Adams, Cardinals: There's a lot to like about Adams. He's big -- 6-foot-3, 230 pounds -- and he can hit. Last year, he hit for power, with 32 homers and 101 RBIs in Double-A.
The Cardinals are set for now at first base with veteran Lance Berkman, who moved in from the outfield to replace the departed Albert Pujols. Adams will turn 24 in August, but the Cardinals must figure that they would be stalling his development if they called him up to the big-league roster for a bench role and didn't let him get everyday at-bats in Triple-A.
"He's impressed a lot of people," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "His makeup, the way he's gone about things, the work he's put in, it's just been real impressive. The talent is there; I don't think anybody has doubted that."
Nathan Eovaldi, Dodgers: Eovaldi, who turned 22 in February, appeared in 10 games with the Dodgers last year, starting six and putting up a respectable 3.63 ERA, and pitched well this spring. So why is he in Double-A?
Well, this is why: The Dodgers signed veterans Aaron Harang and Chris Capuano to fill out a rotation fronted by last year's National League Cy Young Award winner, Clayton Kershaw, plus valuable veterans Chad Billingsley and Ted Lilly, who should return from the disabled list in short order. Eovaldi is surely in the mix for a promotion if one of the horses suffers an injury, so for now he's in a regular routine as he bides his time, and, like all of these blocked prospects, tries to keep it all in perspective.
"I just try to keep getting better," Eovaldi said. "I'm glad they're giving me starts. Just the fact they've gotten me in as much as they have is good."

The Malta Environment and Planning Authority convened a press conference to clarify the many inaccuracies in verbal and written statements appearing in the media concerning the approval of PA 7902/05, the re-development of the former Ulysses Lodge. MEPA Chairman Mr. Andrew Calleja deplored the attitude being taken by a particular NGO. Referring specifically to comments made by Flimkien ghal Ambjent Ahjar, Mr. Calleja said that henceforth, while safeguarding all the legal rights this NGO had, it would be under boycott with requests for meetings until such time it decides to substantiate or withdraw the serious accusations levied at the MEPA Board members.
During a presentation to the press explaining, in detail the nature of the development, MEPA highlighted that the development was taking place following the approval of the outline development application two years previously. None of the issues raised today had been raised at the time of that approval.
The application which was approved on the 6th June 2007 consisted of a re-development of an already disturbed land area with some exception on the construction of swimming pools situated just outside the committed footprint. The disturbed land, formerly the Ulysses Lodge, constitutes approximately 17% of the total land area owned by the developer. The development will be limited to this area and it is inconceivable how the newly approved plans could have been interpreted as constituting an increase of several times on the outline permit.
During the evaluation of the outline application, MEPA had requested from the developer several studies of the area including an ecological, geo-technical and archaeological assessment. These studies were considered to be of enough detail to enable MEPA to waive the requirement for an EPS. As a result of the mitigation measures suggested in the studies carried out, MEPA had also requested the inclusion of 23 reservoirs so that the run-off water does not further erode the bay area, in particular the sand dunes. The archaeological studies were based on "extensive field surveys and archival research" and "found no archaeological features in the area to be developed close to Calypso Cave".
With regards to comments made by the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage, MEPA Chairman said that it had the full right given to it by the Cultural Heritage Act to issue an Emergency Conservation Order for the site if it deems that the permit issued constitutes a peril to any archaeological features in the area. He said that when one sees the considerable press coverage the application had received over the past years, it is inconceivable to say that one was not informed on the proposed development since this had been accepted in principle way back in July 2005. Mr. Calleja added that instead of sending an email on the day of the public hearing, the Superintendence could have easily attended the meeting and after informing itself of the facts took whatever position it deemed necessary in the light of its legal obligations. "MEPA will no longer be used as a screen for other organisations" warned Mr. Calleja.
MEPA also made it clear that for the very first time, it had obliged the developer to enter into a public deed to ensure that the development will remain a tourist complex and cannot be changed into a residential area.

Strategy and a bit of rock
Knowledge-sharing focused on strategy when more than 350 people gathered at Monte Kristo Estates a few days ago for the fourth annual Business Leaders Malta conference.
The networking conference attracts chief executives and top managers from a cross section of the local business community. Business Leaders Malta is a joint venture between team-building firm Jugs Malta, recruiter Konnekt, and training company Mdina Partnership.
Held in the estates' arena, decked out in camouflage netting, the conference was themed Moves to Checkmate and was inspired by the strategic thinking associated with the military and chess.
Ixaris Systems (Malta) chief executive Alex Mifsud took participants through the first 10 years of the London-headquartered company which pioneered prepaid virtual cards and related applications. He likened strategy to a game of Snakes and Ladders.
Now turning over an annual €10 million, Ixaris boasts a profitable core business which helps finance innovation. Perseverance led the team to overcome challenges and build on learning experiences and several times it turned its fortunes around, first to launch Entropay, its virtual card system for consumers, and later to build on it. At least twice, investors asked for their money back, and Ixaris had to change tack several times.
"Ixaris' strategy is still ongoing and we have no idea where it will take us," Dr Mifsud admitted. "We have learned that you make your own luck, never to give up, and to pick the right people for the strategy."
Retired RAF Group Captain Robert Grattan gave some insight into how military strategy is designed. Dr Grattan, who first 'visited' Malta in the 1950s in a Wellington aircraft, emphasised how vision is a future desired state but often too little time is dedicated to defining the aim.
"Strategy is holistic, whether it is related to the military or to a corporation," he stressed. "Review the situation, examine the facts, consider enemy courses of action, your course of action and the best course of action. Most importantly, plan. Consider the role of middle management. Strategy should not only be about the front line."
Microsoft's Takuya Hirano, general manager for the multi-country region within central and eastern Europe, explained how the IT giant put people first in its strategy. This is a pivotal year for Microsoft as it endeavours to release the most products ever in one fiscal year.
Half-Japanese and half-American, Mr Hirano recalled how the Microsoft building in Japan shook in the devastating earthquake of 2011.
Over 400 staff and 400 customers were in the premises at the time and the phone lines were down. After ensuring people's safety, Microsoft teams helped their customers to ensure business continuity through the cloud-based Office suite, and a collaboration with Toyota helped them to share GPS information with a terrified community.
Mr Hirano, who is succeeding to live a paperless life, outlined how Microsoft was focusing on a strategy to increasingly enable people around the world.
"Microsoft is evolving into a device and service company," he said. "We are succeeding to deliver a unified experience in an environment where cloud technology will become mainstream. Data, user interfaces, social networking and device mobility are Microsoft priorities because they are our customers' priorities. It is about people – empowering everyone, everywhere."
Six business leaders took their seat on stage to talk about strategic thinking and strategic planning in a panel discussion. Simonds Farsons Cisk group chief executive Norman Aquilina, MSV Life chief executive David Curmi, De La Rue head of operations Marc Jordan, Fimbank president Margrith Lutsch Emenegger, Alf. Mizzi and Sons chief executive Alec Mizzi, and Melita chief operations officer Ludolf Rasterhoff talked about their organisations' strategic turning points and reaching strategic objectives.
Later, Konnekt managing director Josef Said presented the first-ever 10 BLM Awards. Based on a scientific study focusing on seven areas of human resources management, the initiative, which was launched last September, saw the participation of 26 diverse companies.
Smart Technologies won awards for communication and team cohesiveness, corporate culture, employee well-being, and leadership effectiveness. Nectar won the performance driven award, Cardinal Health scooped the award for training and development, and Microsoft for reward and recognition. The overall winners were Nectar (20 to 99 employees), Cardinal Health (100 to 299), and Actavis (300-plus).
Jugs Malta managing director Gianni Zammit led the customary team-building exercise to close the conference. Boomwhackers – colour-coded plastic tubes representing six notes – were distributed to participants. Musicians from prominent local bands joined him on stage to play Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water as participants joined in for the famous riff using the Boomwhackers. The result was probably the loudest Business Leaders Malta conference finale to date.

Dutch sailor, 14, cleared for solo world voyage
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A Dutch court cleared the way Tuesday for teen-ager Laura Dekker to try to become the youngest person to sail round the world solo, ending state supervision of the 14 year-old.
The sailor, who was born on her parents' yacht off New Zealand, had planned to start the two-year voyage last September but a court blocked her departure, saying the trip was a risk to her safety.
Before Tuesday's ruling, Laura said on her website that she would depart from Portugal if the court allowed the journey.
"I will leave as quickly as possible, as soon as my boat is ready and equipped. It is then dependent though on the weather," she wrote, adding that she could leave within two weeks.
Earlier this month child welfare authorities had requested a year's extension to their supervision of Laura.
But the court in the southwestern town of Middelburg ruled Tuesday that she could attempt the record voyage, provided that both her parents gave their consent.
"The court ... could not determine that Laura was at risk, either in her social-emotional or character development, as suggested by the Council for the Protection of Children," the court said in its ruling that put Laura back into the full responsibility of her parents.
Laura's father, whom she lives with, is in favor of the journey while her mother has dropped her earlier opposition.
Dismayed by the legal battle last year, Laura fled in December to the island of St. Martin in the Dutch Antilles, where she wanted to buy a boat and attempt the journey from there. She was later escorted home by police. Continued...

Mass Murderer from Illinois Collaborates on New Book About Preventing Such Crimes [VIDEO]
In 1985, then-18-year-old Tom V. Odle–fueled by LSD intoxication–stabbed his parents to death then killed his sister and two brothers. The shocking crimes happened just a couple of hours away in Mt. Vernon, Illinois.
Now, the 47-year-old Odle has collaborated with neuropsychologist Robert Hanlon on a book called "Survived By One: The Life and Mind of a Family Mass Murderer."
The book's aim is to dissect the crime and determine why someone would commit such a heinous act. According to Hanlon, Odle's motive for the brutal killings was revenge and that his mother was the main target.
Odle's mother, according to the book, was very abusive toward him and his younger brother Sean. Hanlon supposes that the murders committed beyond Odle's mother can be traced back to the added aggression of his drug use.
Hanlon's research has led to the discovery that most impulsive crimes like this–by so-called "family annihilators"–are often the work of someone who is mentally disturbed, but, as Hanlon notes, Odle doesn't fit THAT profile.
Dr. Hanlon hopes that his book will raise awareness of the possibility of crimes like Odle's. As Hanlon says, "We have to care more about this and pay attention to it."

Artisanal Cheeses Created From Human Body Bacteria Samples
Selfmade explores the art and science of cheesemaking.
Christina Agapakis and Sissel Tolaas have created a unique installation that explores microbial ecology. Selfmade is a series of "microbial sketches" that takes a closer look at art-science by using cheese as a medium. Every cheese is different and is grown from a sample of the human body, for example swabs from hands, feet, noses, and even armpits.
The samples are then inoculated into fresh, pasteurized whole milk and incubated overnight in a controlled warm temperature. The milk curds are then strained and pressed to produce unique smelling cheeses.
The aim of the project is to challenge us to rethink our relationship with bacteria and biotechnology. Agapakis explains that, "We not only live in a biological world surrounded by rich communities of microorganisms, but in a cultural world that emphasizes total antisepsis."
Selfmade is part of the Grow Your Own exhibition at the Dublin Science Gallery. The exhibit opened on 25 October and will continue until 19 January, 2014.

The Jarring Collection — Preservation and access
In 1982 the Swedish diplomat and philologist Gunnar Jarring (1907-2002) donated his unique collection of manuscripts from Eastern Turkistan to the University Library in Lund. It is an extremely rich collection, possibly the biggest in the world. The manuscripts come from the periphery of the Islamic world in Central Asia, that in the Eastern, or Chinese, Turkistan from cities like Kashgar, Yarkend and Urumchi.
This service provides access to Gunnar Jarring's own preliminary hand-written catalogue, a searchable index of brief manuscript descriptions and in some cases scanned images.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Sorry about your TV. I would replace the color wheel. This is a common problem in samsung. I see that you say it is turning, but if it does't get to the speed it need to be. The TV will turn off. There is a sensor on the color wheel to make sure it speed is right.
I replace one to two and week that is either coming on and shutting down or not coming on at all.
Hello........I think you were on the right track with the lamp and the ballast........the colorwheel is not a big culprit on these newer models.......yes on the older ones.
First I want to besure you are using a genuine samsung lamp exact part number and the exact ballst new from the factory. If you have purchased the parts otherwise,you may have a part that was returned. Please recheck your steps and be sure all connections were made upon replace ment. On the ballast..........there is a small fine connector wich goes to the DMD (big silver module) be sure wires are connected on both ends and the cable is ok. The next suspect in my opinion if all this is ok would be the DMD board,but I have repaired every one so far with the exact lamp and ballast..........good luck..............Jim pls be sure the lamp door is closed and the internal switch is closed ........you may have to check or remount that black plastic besel
which came off for acessing the lamp

London, UK (rushPRnews) 07/19/13 — The distribution of shares is becoming an increasingly popular incentive which companies are regularly using to recruit or retain staff. It offers an attractive alternative to cash bonuses and according to new research in the UK and USA, it can also increase the productivity of your staff.
Employees can obtain shares in their company without necessarily suffering a large tax bill through two routes. The first being Share Incentive Plans but the most popular form of share ownership for employees comes in the form of Enterprise Management Incentives (EMI). The latter allows selected employees to be given the opportunity to acquire a significant number of shares in their employer through the issue of options.
- Employees gain a stake in their company which results in increased staff retention and motivation.
- There is no direct cost to the employer in comparison with wage increases or cash bonuses.
- Usually there are no NIC charges for the employer when the employee sells their shares.
Points to consider
There are a number of issues to consider in deciding whether EMI is suitable for your company:
- Does the company qualify?
- Which employees are eligible and who should be issued options?
- What type of shares will be issued?
- When will the rights to exercise options arise?
- The costs of setting up the option plans are not tax deductible.
How we can help
We can help you decide whether EMI is appropriate for your business and whether the business will qualify.
We are also able to help you with the necessary documentation required to establish and operate EMI and advise on the costs so please do contact us.

Anyone know any places in NJ area that cant paint match "perfectly" the WRBlue color?
when my body kit comes in, i want it to match PERFECTLY, im very anal about things like this! its only because i heard that Subaru does not release their exact color pigment things or whatever its called, which means that body shops/painters need to mix their own colors..

Florida Engineering and Design
Florida Engineering and Design, Inc. (FEDINC) was established in 1987 by Robert A. D'Aiello P.E., and created for the purpose of providing consulting and design engineering services generally to the Phosphate Industry. As the firm grew and matured, other professional staff was added to provide full range Engineering Services in a variety of industries and public sectors.
The core business strength focuses on Civil Engineering Discipline and it's various sub-disciplines. Working extensively with the mining industry and the local government regulators has created a significant backlog of experience and developed a strong working relationship with various governmental regulators based on trust, mutual respect, and a history of satisfactory performance.
Florida Engineering and Design, Inc. is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business and has been verified as such by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Project scope was to renovate and increase capacity of the boiler feedwater system at the Mosaic Plant in Bartow, Florida. Project required mechanical design, piping, specifications of equipment and instrumentation, general arrangements, cost estimation, power, RF communication of controls, and 3D modeling services.
Project scope was to provide Preliminary Engineering, Design, and a Capital Cost Estimate to replace existing static acid scrubbers in use at the Hardee Phosphate Complex with agitated de-oiling scrubbers to improve the de-oiling process of the phosphate matrix. Deliverable products included 3D models, process flow diagrams (PFD), General Arrangement Drawings, Electrical Single Line Diagrams, Tank Drawings and Specifications, and a Capital Cost Estimate composed of construction costs, detailed engineering costs, equipment lists, and valve and pipe lists.
Dewatering Project scope was to calculate the approximate water infiltration rate in an active quarry based on data obtained during site visits, and use that infiltration rate to establish a mathematical model to determine the dewatering rate in the quarry.
Project required determination of the water infiltration/introduction rate based on water table elevation, rate of water discharge between existing quarries, and existing pump operation determined by calculation of head losses and pump curve, as well as determination of the percolation/evaporation rate in an active quarry based on water and material balance evaluation.

THE Government should intervene to kick out a group of squatters who have taken residence in a mansion belonging to the Gaddafi family in Hampstead Garden Suburb.
Councillor Brian Coleman has made the call in his capacity as Barnet and Camden London Assembly member after the group calling themselves Topple the Tyrants moved in yesterday.
The £11m eight-bedroom home bought by Saif Gaddafi in 2009 was put on the market last month, but taken off last week after the Government froze the family's assets.
Cllr Coleman said: "The Foreign Secretary (William Hague) should take action immediately to seize Gaddafi's son's house in Hampstead Garden Suburb in my constituency.
"The squatters, who are a blight to the area, should be evicted and moved-on to protect the nearby residents."
In January Cllr Coleman described some residents from the area, who emailed him angry at huge increases in parking charges, as "hysterical" and "over the top" in a council meeting.
Last month Finchley and Golders Green MP Mike Freer made a call for the Government to freeze the Gaddafi assets to stop them fleeing to this country.

An oversold bounce in the U.S. S&P Utilities could occur, but that would represent a selling opportunity given overvaluation and the bearish trend in our cyclical indicator for the sector.
O ur Cyclical Utilities Indicator has suffered a relapse, and is testing a new cyclical low. Each of the indicator's components is weak, but the most pronounced declines are in consumer spending on electricity, relative utility output growth and steep losses in the bond-to-stock ratio. Some relief to electricity output may be in the offing if manufacturing activity rebounds, but high wage costs and increased capacity imply that it will take some time to generate better profitability.
Importantly, value remains poor. Yields on competing investments such as Treasury bonds are rising, further reducing the incentive for investors to allocate funds to the staid utilities group.
Finally, our Technical Indicator remains stuck deep in negative territory, underscoring that the path of least resistance remains lower.
Bottom Line: Continue to underweight S&P Utilities.

Lleyton Hewitt may no longer be a contender for the big titles on the Asian swing but he's still hugely popular with the fans.
After multiple operations, the veteran Aussie somehow keeps finding a way to keep going on the tour and the 2013 season has given him plenty of encouragement to carry on. He was a couple of points away from making the quarter-finals of the US Open last month and has recorded wins over the likes of Juan Martin Del Potro and Stanislas Wawrinka.
Hewitt beat 35 year old Tommy Haas in straight sets at the China Open in Beijing and he said that the German is an inspiration to him, especially as the two players have been facing each other at the highest level since 1999!
"I don't know if I'll be around when I'm 35, but it's great for Tommy," Hewitt said. "I'm really happy for him. I saw him a few years ago Halle after a couple of his surgeries, and he was really struggling. I thought it was probably the end for him then. The way that he's fought back and got his body in great shape, good on him. He's missed a lot of tennis in his career with injuries and surgeries."
As Hewitt looks towards the Shanghai Masters next week he'll be casting his mind back to his triumph at the World Tour Finals when it was held in the city eleven years ago.
"I was going into it and I could have lost my No. 1 ranking if I didn't do really well in the Masters Cup that year," he said. "It was a tough field. I had to beat Marat Safin in the last round robin match to get through to the semi-finals. I beat him 6‑4 in the third. Then I had to play Federer who was undefeated. He'd won all his group matches, and I beat him 7‑5 in the third, and then had to come out the next day and play (Juan Carlos) Ferrero. That was 6‑3 or 6‑4 in the fifth."
"So physically it was an unbelievable effort to claim the No. 1 ranking yet again at the end of the year. An amazing achievement to hold it for a whole year as well. Obviously Shanghai means a lot to me. I have a lot of fans from the way that I played back then."

L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Aqua Lip Lacquer in Rose On And On
24 comments:
- Popblush said...
This lip lacquer has been talked about a lot these days and I'm actually getting curious and want to try it. When the YSL Glossy stains were highly well reviewed, I wanted to try it but couldn't justify buying any here especially because I don't like glosses (due to stickiness). From your review, this seems like an awesome, non-sticky, long lasting lipgloss - something I would love to try! ^_^ Now I am quite excited for it to arrive here - going to wait till it goes on sale though haha!
DKNY Be Delicious was one of my faves and I went through like 4 bottles in the past 4yrs. Not so much anymore - time for me to try some other perfumes lol.
- January 10, 2013 at 12:47 AM
"sitcky while wet" this made me laugh. haha anyway, i've been seeing this on youtube and also at my walmart. i was tempted to try them but then i'm not a lipgloss type of person. i prefer lipsticks and lipbalms. but who knows? since this performs as a stain, eventually i could give in.
- January 10, 2013 at 10:11 AM
Really lovely the color from that lipgloss.
- January 10, 2013 at 3:45 PM
- Ahleessa said...
In all honesty, I bought YSL Glossy Stain long time ago and haven't used it. You would think someone who spent some good money would have tried it out? I just get overwhelmed with products. It's crazy insane and I don't where to start. I need to stop buying... lol~ :X I will compare them in a future post after I try it out... lol~ :X For L'Oreal Lip Lacquer, I love it so far. I highly recommend it... hehe~
You're so good about finishing your perfumes. I don't ever remember finishing any. :X What are you using at the moment?
- January 10, 2013 at 10:50 PM
- Ahleessa said...
Hrmmm~ I hope you weren't thinking what I'm thinking by your comment... lol~ :P I think you will like it if you're not a lipgloss type of person, but I could be wrong. I'm guessing you don't like sticky lip products. If that's the case, you should like this.
- January 10, 2013 at 11:03 PM
- Ahleessa said...
Thank you it is a gorgeous color! :)
- January 10, 2013 at 11:05 PM
- Popblush said...
I was like you too - a year back I was so overwhelmed with products I had in my collection. I wanted to try so many things but just didn't have to capacity to! lol. I kept hoarding and bought back ups of back ups! I recently cleaned out my makeup collection and got rid of all the old so its much more smaller.
The perfumes I am using is Chloe (original) and Nina Ricci (green apple bottle which I got ages ago)!
Looking forward to your comparison - try your YSL Glossy Stain so it doesn't go to waste!~ Hahaha
- January 11, 2013 at 1:51 AM
- sleepandwater said...
Sounds like a really interesting product, glad to hear you liked it and it performed well! The cooling sensation is quite odd, but the lasting power is impressive :)
- January 11, 2013 at 2:27 AM
- Ahleessa said...
At least you were a hoarder only for a while and decided to change. I've been a hoarder since I started blogging *sigh*. It's so not good, but I don't seem to change *sigh*. I'm good about not buying back ups, because I know I'll never finish any of the cosmetics especially lip products, blush, and eye products. I'm pretty good about finishing skincare products. My issue is that new products keep coming out and I get curious to try. I keep buying when I haven't even finished the old products. :X
I will try thew YSL Glossy Stain tomorrow, and compare them... wheee~ I wonder which one I will like better. I really do like the L'Oreal one.
- January 12, 2013 at 8:42 AM
- Ahleessa said...
I hope people understood what I mean about cooling sensation. It's just cold when you apply it... hehe~ I know that's such an interesting thing. I don't think I know any other products that puts a cold sensation while you apply it. :/
- January 12, 2013 at 8:43 AM
- Popblush said...
Well, I still hoard but not as much as I did 2 years ago.. I know, I have a huge list of things I have yet to try.. Blushes and lippies take so long to finish right?! I also have a few foundations that I should finish.
- January 12, 2013 at 3:11 PM
Hahahaha. Well! yes, i don't like sticky lipglosses! Its a magnet for hair! Ewww.. haha. I prefer moist looking lips over glossy lips.
- January 12, 2013 at 7:45 PM
- Ahleessa said...
What's the different between moist looking lips vs glossy lips? They seem the same to me. :/
- January 13, 2013 at 11:12 PM
- Ahleessa said...
At least, you stopped hoarding. That's my wish.... hehe~ When it comes to shopping, I only purchase one type of things. The last several years it's been cosmetics. Before cosmetics, it was earrings. I get so excited when I purchase cosmetics. I tell myself I need to stop since I have so many products that can last several individual's life. I still purchase. :( Even friends tell me I need to stop. I think I have issues. :( I wish cosmetics were like skincare. I can finish skincare so easily... hehe~
- January 13, 2013 at 11:19 PM
- Popblush said...
Hahaha, I am like that too! I go through phases - like a blush phase, then lipstick phase, foundation phase etc etc. I went through a maxi dress phase and all I shopped for was that. Lol. I'm not as bad anymore (I think...?) Awww, I don't think you have issues hun. If you feel real bad about it, then have maybe set yourself a limit - like one cosmetic item per fortnight or allow one purchase if you finish two? Seriously though, it would be awesome if you blogged about even a portion of the stuff you have in your closet! Lol!
- January 14, 2013 at 12:59 AM
- Ahleessa said...
I have a section of makeup on my dresser counter. After awhile, I move it into my closest because I use new products... hehe~ So part of the products in my closest already has been reviewed. I also keep boxes of products that need to be reviewed in my closest. Once they're reviewed, I throw them away. I noticed when I became a blogger, I ended up buying more cosmetics *sigh*. Blogging hasn't helped, but I don't want to quit blogging. Dilemmas but I'm happy I think... lol~
- January 14, 2013 at 10:17 PM
- Popblush said...
Yeah, after I started blogging, I definitely started buying much more makeup. My excuse started being "oh, I think I will get this because I can review and blog about it" LOL
- January 15, 2013 at 1:44 AM
- Ahleessa said...
I'm the same. I think all beauty bloggers think the same. "The readers love reading new products so I should buy it and blog about it"... hehe~
- January 15, 2013 at 10:44 PM
Do you think the rose would look good on darker skin tones? Like, different race :) I really want to try one, but I'm afraid to buy one that isn't for my skin tone.
- January 17, 2013 at 4:18 PM
- Ahleessa said...
Depending on the degree of your skin tone, I would say it will go from sheer to a lighter than medium color. If you're looking for a pigmented color, there's a lot more color in this range that will look bright on you. Rose On and On is the third lightest color in this line. It also depends on the pigmentation of your lip. I have a tendency to have pink on my lips, therefore, most colors look brighter on me compared to most people. It doesn't matter with the skin tone. I can have brighter colored lips compared to pale individual with pink lips. :/
- January 17, 2013 at 11:20 PM
Thank you!!!! That helps a lot!! :D
- January 18, 2013 at 12:20 AM
- Ahleessa said...
You're very welcome! I hope I helped. :)
- January 18, 2013 at 8:16 AM
To me, moist lips are you know they look moisturized.. glossy are over the top shiny to me. hahaha am i too vague with my explanations.. anyway, if its too shiny then that's gloss to me.. over the top glossy! Like the person ate the lipgloss rather than applied it. hahahaa
- January 24, 2013 at 12:11 PM
- Ahleessa said...
I see. Actually, I don't see... lol~ Still a little confused but I think I got your point... hehe~

Now that some of the mob giddiness that followed the announcement of Osama bin Laden's death has dissipated, fear is once again thick in the air as U.S. officials warn state and local law enforcement agencies of possible retaliation attacks by a vengeful al-Qaida. —ARK
Los Angeles Times:
The caution from the Department of Homeland Security in Washington escalated Monday as national security officials, terrorism experts and the White House agreed that future strikes could likely be triggered from a new power struggle inside Al Qaeda or by some lone wolf or "micro-terrorist" plotting in the U.S. to personally even the score for Bin Laden's death.
Around the country, airports beefed up inspections, mass-transit police heightened patrols and cities such as Los Angeles, New York and Chicago increased their security measures. Abroad, U.S. embassies and other foreign facilities were placed on high alert, and U.S. citizens were strongly advised to be careful if traveling or living overseas.
In the midnight bulletin to state and local officials, Washington warned that anything could happen. "Everyone is extremely sensitive to the fact that there will at least be an attempt for a retaliatory attack," said one U.S. intelligence official.

The Heritage Key
In his article "The Iceman as a burial" appearing in "Antiquity" 84/2010, the archaeologist Alessandro Vanzetti of Rome's La Sapienza University and his co‐authors reconstruct the position of the Iceman at his place of discovery on the Tisenjoch pass in South Tyrol, Italy. From this and based on his botanical investigations, he draws the conclusion that the Iceman did not die at the site of the incident: rather he died in the spring within his valley community and only later, in September, was brought up to the Tisenjoch and buried there.

Done. The rules are well-written and easy to understand. However I think you might want to spell out the difference between engaging in politics and engaging in a discussion of public policy. It seems like that line is not as well-defined as it might be.

The specialties at the restaurant accompany sink faucets and gender-coded 'WC' signs that appear on the three-story structure.
The food is served in mini plastic toilet bowls. The toilet rolls that serve for wiping hand and mouth are hung above the tables,
which may resemble glass-topped jumbo bathtubs.

Those german snacks are awsome! We've got them here in the Netherlands as well. They used to be called "Neger zoenen", in germany "Neger kusse" but it was too racial (since it means negro kisses) so now they're called just "Zoenen" or "Kusse" which means kisses. XD random I know… but I love lost in translation! I've been to so many country's somethings get a little predicatble tho…
you know what?
"collon" comes from "column". they explain so.
Seriously!?! The NYC picture . . . these people were just walking around like that? This wasn't some theme party or something? Bahahahaha! I love it . . . It scares me a bit, but I love it!
Madlen . . . great addition to lost in translation. Especially the restroom behind pic!

you've just GOT to take a look at this street sign in upper austria: http://www.iraff.ch/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/fucking-small.jpg
…and: YES, that village is REALLY called THAT!!!
I took this photo in england, Brighton … I'm not really sure if I had read it correctly. xD
YAY, mini Dickmann's, legga! 😀

Have fun with the videos Mike !! —Brooke .:)I was wondering… were you at the reversable hat one ?
epic lol.
keep finding them pictures.
LMFAO, the best ones were "in4dong" and "colon cream." There's this sign here in Evansville, Indiana that made me laugh SO hard. It's for a Chinese restaurant. It says, "No, we no see cat of yours. No more ask please." I was driving down the road with my friend and we saw that. We almost wrecked the car.
EDIT:: Here's the pic. http://www.jokesunlimited.com/jokepics/1341.jpg
I still can't get over the Thin Ho Association. That and the Wonderful Korea postcard. Whenever I see the NYC pic, I immediately think De La Soul or something similar. That, or "sweet hair!" I love these.
I once saw a sign for a National Geographic exhibit about pirates.
Here's the website that was listed prominently on the ad:
I'm not sure what a "hibit" is, but if its anything like a "habit," I'm wondering if they are providing viewing material or counseling…
I like that you left the "leaf" for last.
everytime i eat a super dickmann i think about your lost in translation.
keep posting…
lmao!!! I so loved those photos
ahaha I think the best was "English Dry Cleaner?"
WTH means Go Gay there? :p:p
lmao And worst, what's with that little boy pointing a gun to his sister face, and the poster says: Wonderful Korea? That made me laugh so much!! :p
Yaaaaaay first first commeeeent xD Haha you gotta see that too xD

T-Mobile Offers to Drop 4G "Unlimited" Throttling for $20-$30 USD per Month
Jason Mick
August 22, 2012 12:09 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
T-Mobile has opened up a true all-you-can-eat data buffet.
(Source: The Northwestern Flipside)
New plan is between the cost of the previous 2 GB and 5 GB capped plan
T-Mobile USA, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG (
), is one of only two carriers in America to claim to offer "unlimited" 4G data. But that offer comes with substantial exceptions. Unlike Sprint Nextel Corp. (
) users, T-Mobile customers only have access to HSPA+ -- a "3.5G" or "advanced 3G" tech that T-Mobile rebranded "4G" as
a marketing gimmick
. Plus, unlike Sprint users, who enjoy uncapped connections, T-Mobile USA users with unlimited data have their connections throttled after using more that 2 GB of data.
A new deal from T-Mobile USA promises to change that. Announced yesterday, T-Mobile USA will be offering a "truly Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data plan" for $20 USD per month on Value plans and $30 USD per month on Family plans.
That rate is (roughly) midway between the current rates that T-Mobile USA charges
for its capped 2 GB and 5 GB connections
. For some users who use 2 GB or less per month, it may make more sense to stick with a throttled $25 USD per month 2 GB Family data plan, assuming T-Mobile allows it. Presumably the more expensive (5 GB and up) capped plans will disappear, with this new option.
A quick refresher on what the "Value" plan is and why it's cheaper: T-Mobile USA in March unveiled a push to get customers to buy their own (unsubsidized) phones, in exchange for cheaper plans. That's generally the model used in Europe, whence T-Mobile USA's parent company hails. However, it is generally not used in the U.S. market, where subsidized handsets and more expensive plans are the norm.
In order to try to push its users to "go European" and buy into the Value plan, T-Mobile USA bumped its Family plan data rates by $5 USD at each tier.
The new rates continue T-Mobile USA's push to get customers to "go European" and buy a Value plan.
[Image Source: Whedon.info]
In late June, T-Mobile USA offered up
new broadband plans for businesses
All of these options and flexibility are good news for customers. But they fail to fix some of the lower level underlying issues afflicting T-Mobile USA. Among these issues is the lack of a true "4G" network -- an LTE data network. With
Sprint's recent LTE launch
, T-Mobile USA is the only carrier to leave customers in the dark in terms of true 4G service. While its 3G speeds
are excellent
, lack of LTE is a serious obstacle for the cash-strapped carrier.
The company has been languishing of late under a
run of deep losses
-- both of the fiscal and customer variety. Most recently
1,900 employees were laid off
. Amid that poor performance the unit's
chief executive resigned
, jumping ship to
become chief executive at rival Vodafone
Group plc.'s (
) European unit .

1968 472 HEI SWAP, Big time Problems!
The motor is a 1968 Cadillac 472.I've set #1 to TDC(compression stroke),dropped the distributor in and set my cap up accordingly.Still,nothing but backfiring through the carb¬ starting.My CHILTON book showed #1 at about 1 o'clock;this was for 68's only.Should the vacuum adv.be pointing in any certain direction?

Re: 1968 472 HEI SWAP, Big time Problems!
Are you sure you have timed it with #1 at TDC on the compression stroke? Sounds like you are 180 degrees off.

Re: 1968 472 HEI SWAP, Big time Problems!
Well, it's obviously out of time if it's backfiring. Of course, you remembered that Caddy #1 is on the passenger side, unlike other motors...When you put the dist. in, make sure the star wheel on the dist. is exactly on the firing point. A little one way or the other and you'll be pretty far off. Sometimes, removing a distributor can move the oil pump position slightly and you'll think you're dropping the new dist. in exactly as the old one came out, but you'll be a little off, that's why you should check the star wheel. Face the vacuum adv. in pretty much the same direction as the dist. you took out.Hope that helps some...
Re: 1968 472 HEI SWAP, Big time Problems!
I,m gonna do just that,thanks for the input.Hopefully my next post'll say running 68 cad motor.....

Alex Faniel's recruitment is certainly full speed ahead. The 2017 signal caller from Richmond, Virginia, holds offers from Virginia Tech North Carolina State, and Virginia.
UVa was the last school to offer the St. Christopher's school standout,. Faniel received the scholarship offer as he was driving home from the UVa camp with his father and friend, five-star 2015 linebacker Ricky DeBerry. According to Faniel, it was a moment that definitely stands out.
"At first (Mike) London called me Denzel, I'm assuming Denzel Washington and he called Ricky, Cedric the Entertainer," Faniel laughed. "He told us to get on the bus and come down to Charlottesville. He is a funny guy… . It was nice to have a refreshing one like that. Everything else has been straight and business like. That was nice."
Although impressed at London's humor, Faniel really enjoyed learning from offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild at the camp
"He is definitely a great coach that I would love to play for," said Faniel. " He knows how to get a long with the kids. He has some great things to say about me. He had great feedback for me. Whenever I asked him a question, he would answer right on the spot. He also invited me back for a barbecue on the 16th. He is just a really good guy. I can definitely see myself playing for him."
Although open to moving anywhere, there is always something special when an in-state school shows their trust.
"I think it is special getting an offer from an in-state school, because you grew up around here; you watch them play on TV. Not saying that any other is less special than this one, it is just a blessing. Especially to get one from UVa-they have great education and it isn't far from home. My mom is a stickler for education-it has football and education wrapped into one."
Faniel holds three offers, but that list looks to get bigger soon. He has competed in several camps this summer including: Penn State, Hawaii and Duke. The Nittany Lions are ones that definitely have the signal caller on their radar.
"Penn State was great. The campus was amazing. I got to talk with (PSU quarterback) Christian Hackenberg- he is a great guy.
"I also got to talk to a lot of the coaches. Coach (James) Franklin brings a lot of energy, he is an amazing coach. Coach (Bent) Pry, which is my recruiting coach for my area, he is also a great guy, he had a lot of great things to say to me. He answered a lot of stuff about recruiting.
"The campus is beautiful, the stadium holds 107,000 strong, the coaching staff is amazing. It seems like they are rebuilding at Happy Valley. They have a nice thing going on in Pennsylvania."
With one camp left on the schedule, now it's time to focus on the fall.
"I am going to North Carolina on Friday. After that I am focusing on the team and getting better along with the team."Follow @JacquieFran_

I read somewhere that monks are advised not to sleep in a bed, but they
should sleep on the floor. What is the benefit of sleeping on the floor?
I can imagine sleeping on the floor in countries like India, Thailand is
comfortable, but if you sleep on the floor in Europe during the winter
when everything outside is frozen, you are most likely to catch a lung
infection from the cold floor.
At least the floor in my home is very cold. I wear shoes in the
house, because it's too cold to walk on my socks because the floor feels
So I was wondering why the Buddha advises sleeping on the floor.

Q: How long will it take to see my blood cholesterol go down after I change my eating habits?
A: It usually takes about four to six weeks after you settle into your new eating habits for your body to break down currently circulating cholesterol and show lower blood levels. This may vary with the specific changes you've made in your eating habits, how high your cholesterol was to start with, and your genetics. According to the National Cholesterol Education Program's treatment guidelines, blood cholesterol levels should be checked after six weeks. If your levels aren't on target, talk with your doctor about whether to continue what you've been doing or add additional dietary steps. Check cholesterol levels in another six weeks. If you and your doctor decided to continue your original changes and your LDL ("bad") cholesterol is still not where your doctor suggests it should be, try a more comprehensive approach to dietary steps that can lower blood cholesterol before beginning medication. If you are overweight, losing weight is an important part of the picture. Healthy weight loss is gradual, so it may take several months to see its full impact. Reducing saturated and trans fat can usually lower blood cholesterol about 10 to 15 percent. A reasonable target for many people is to limit the total of these two fats to below 18 to 25 grams a day, but people with hard-to-budge cholesterol may need to keep below 12 to 15 grams. Overall, your diet should contain foods rich in fiber – plenty of vegetables and fruit, and daily dried beans, oatmeal or barley – along with nuts, soy foods, and weight loss if you are overweight. These dietary changes can reduce LDL cholesterol 13 to 30 percent. Part of your diet strategy may also include plant sterols, which are added to certain margarines. If your blood cholesterol remains high, you may need medication, but many people give up on dietary changes too easily.

Q: Is there a nutritional advantage to choosing fresh versus canned pumpkin?
A: No. Both fresh and canned pumpkin are excellent choices, as long as the canned pumpkin you choose is plain, solid pack pumpkin and not sugar-laden pumpkin pie mix. Pumpkin is loaded with carotenoids, including both beta- and alpha-carotene, as well as lutein and zeaxanthin, the antioxidants linked to protecting the lens and retina of our eyes. Beta- and alpha-carotene may play a role in reducing our risk of cancer, because in lab studies, these compounds seem part of processes that help control cell growth, and they are both converted to retinol (vitamin A), important for immune function and possibly for activation of carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes. AICR/WCRF's expert report and its updates link foods high in carotenoids to lower risk of mouth, larynx and lunch cancers. While pumpkin is inexpensive and abundant at farmers' markets and your grocery store, you might head toward fresh. Choose smaller cooking or sweet pumpkins. Peel and cut in cubes for stir-fries, chili and stew, and experiment with adding it to pasta dishes and enchiladas. Cut pieces will keep in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped, for about two days. You can also freeze it in uncooked chunks or as cooked purée. For those times when you want a smooth pumpkin purée to stir into soup or pasta sauce, canned versions are super-quick and nutritious. Canned pumpkin is not salted, so it's about the same near-zero sodium as fresh pumpkin.

This site is here for Christians, those interested in Christianity, and anyone who believes salvation can only be found through Jesus Christ. MARANATHA – The Lord Is Coming!
Are You Ready?
If Jesus came tomorrow, are you ready?
MARANATHA is a Greek expression from two Aramaic words that appears in the Bible at 1 Corinthians 16:22.
Based on interpretation, it can mean:
The Lord is Coming!
Come, Lord!
Our Lord, Come!
Our Lord has come!
O Lord, come!
or Our Lord Comes!.
Regardless of how you interpret MARANATHA, the meaning is the same.
- Jesus Christ is the perfect Son of God.
- Jesus Christ was born to a virgin and lived a sinless life.
- Jesus was crucified and died on the cross, for our sins.
- Jesus was buried in a tomb and three days later rose from the dead.
- Jesus ascended into Heaven.
- One day, Jesus will return to call the dead in Christ to be with Him, and save the living who believe.
Our Lord HAS come and WILL come again!
Jesus could return at any time. Make sure you are ready.
