Young children want to tell stories. They want to tell us about the things they've seen, especially if they're discovering it for the first time. If they experience something that they enjoy, they especially want to share that joy with others. As they grow, many of them carry that love of storytelling into a love of reading. And, while it would be wonderful if this love of reading and writing continued into later years, that's not often the case. Unfortunately, when most children reach junior high or high school age, they're forced to read and write, and because of this, they tend to lose their love of stories. Reading and writing become additional chores, which they have to do alongside solving math problems and cleaning the kitchen. How, then, can we encourage our children to maintain this love going into these later years? By taking that early desire to tell stories and fostering it, encouraging them to view their world through words and express their imagination. Doing so will help them understand the power of words and, hopefully, develop a love of writing as they grow older.
So, how do we do all of that? The easiest way is to just take some time to tell stories with your young children. When they want to tell you about this thing they discovered outside, don't just half-listen, responding periodically with a "uh-huh." Engage yourself in their story. Ask them questions. Encourage them to further think about how to express themselves.
Participating in your child's storytelling doesn't have to stop with listening to their experiences. Take them out to the park and look for stuff to tell stories about. If you see a squirrel, ask your child what he or she thinks that squirrel does when it's not in the park. Does it go home to its own squirrel family and watch squirrel cartoons on a tiny TV? While it may seem silly, doing this will encourage your child to engage his or her imagination and express what he or she is thinking.
As your child grows older, it may become fun to work with him or her to get his or her stories down on paper. In my work for Grammarly, I research how people are writing and what tools they're using to improve their skills. I can tell you that there are a number of online resources that will not only encourage you and your child to write together, but also help them create a visually fun and engaging storybook.
- ArtisanCam's "Picture Book Maker" is one of the most basic ways you can begin. It provides all of the scenery and character art, allowing you and your child to compose the pictures on the page and write the words below. When the picture book is complete, you can then save it to a gallery and email a link to one or two friends or family members. In doing this, your child is not only getting a chance to share his or her story with you, but with others, which can be further encouragement to continue storytelling.
- "My Storymaker" is similar, in that it provides the artwork for you and your child to compose a picture book. It differs from ArtisanCam, however, in its complexity. "My Storymaker" allows you to insert other objects into the scene, and even animate characters as they interact with those objects or other characters. As you make selections, "My Storymaker" will write many of the sentences for you.
- "Little Bird Tales" takes the complexity even further by allowing you to upload your child's own artwork to build the picture book. You and your child can then write the story below, and even record your voices narrating that story.
Taking some time to foster a love of storytelling within your children can go a long way to maintaining that love into their later years. And, as they grow older, they may want to continue telling their own stories and further developing their writing skills. When this happens, it's important to help them develop a stronger understanding of some of the more specific grammar lessons. The grammar check at Grammarly can be a great way to do that. It will take any chunk of text and check it for over 250 grammar rules. This can be an easy way to catch basic mistakes, helping young writers develop solid writing skills.
Nikolas discovered his love for the written word in Elementary School, where he started spending his afternoons sprawled across the living room floor devouring one Marc Brown children's novel after the other and writing short stories about daring pirate adventures. After acquiring some experience in various marketing, business development, and hiring roles at internet startups in a few different countries, he decided to re-unite his professional life with his childhood passions by joining Grammarly's marketing team in San Francisco. He has the pleasure of being tasked with talking to writers, bloggers, teachers, and others about how they use Grammarly's online proofreading application to improve their writing. His free time is spent biking, traveling, and reading.

"We . . . protest with all our strength, with all our indignation . . . to the erection of this useless and monstrous tower. To bring our arguments home, imagine for a moment a giddy, ridiculous tower dominating . . . like a gigantic black smokestack."
These days that "gigantic black smokestack" is better known as the Eiffel Tower . Of course, haters are going to hate.
As Vivian says: "That quote could easily be written about Barangaroo."
He believes
But first we have to adjust our eyes to change. "Every time there is a quantum shift in the scale of the city, there's always fear and distress," Vivian says. "And there's no doubt Barangaroo is a change in scale."
James Packer's planned $1.5 billion Crown casino-hotel is at the eye of the Barangaroo storm. In fact, provocation may just be part of the marketing strategy. Crown and Lend Lease stirred up the local architecture community when they failed to invite a single Australian firm to compete for the design tender (worth up to $10 million in commissions).
Packer has praised the winning design, by Wilkinson Eyre of Britain, as a celebration of the harbour and a postcard-worthy design. Critics have panned the concept as unsympathetic, out of place and better suited to Dubai.
Standing between 235 metres and 250 metres, the curved tower will certainly stand out. When asked if Vivian liked the design, he said it had potential. He also said likeability is far too elusive.
"There's absolutely no point in trying to be popular – you can't succeed," he explains. "Architecture needs to embody an expression of something real. It should inspire people, challenge them, or sometimes make them draw breath. It goes beyond personal taste."
"We need moments of surprise, but if we have too many standouts they lose their impact. It's a pendulum that keeps swinging."
For someone who has worked in government, Johnson is quite the provocateur. In fact, his extension to the historic Sydney Conservatorium of Music provoked two rallies: one in protest by the National Trust, and a counter-rally by much louder students who brought along their drums, trumpets and trombones.
"There's always going to be friction." Johnson says. "Good architecture needs to be challenging; it has to move forward. I used to tell the politicians, 'If we haven't upset anyone, we are being boring'."
Public scrutiny is nothing new; just ask architect
"It usually takes two generations for a full appreciation of the buildings of the past. The early 20th century hated 19th-century Victorian architecture, for example, and demolished much of it in ignorance."
Cox's '80s steel structure may not be easily understood but that's precisely the point.
"Is all music easy to like? Is all literature easily read and appreciated?" he asks. "The answer is no and the same applies to architecture. Architecture can be immediately appealing and accepted. However, there is much that needs to be studied and considered for a deeper appreciation."
Asked if architecture should be likeable, architect
"Brutalist architecture is not in fashion. Yet this is a beautifully executed precast concrete building," he says. "And the lovely cafe on top is one of my favourite Sydney places that not many people know about."
He believes architecture should provoke thought. "Good buildings require an effort to get to know them," he says. "But once the effort is made the rewards are rich. Good buildings become great teachers."
The building I would most like to redesign
The main tower at the University of Technology, Sydney. Many years ago, I proposed the concrete tower be softened with vertical gardens to change its image from a symbol of brutalist expression to one of environmentalism, experimentation and learning.
Chris Johnson, chief executive of Urban Taskforce
Most underrated buildings
"Often the general contemporary design of health facilities is underrated. There is evidence of a connection between a well-designed health facility, the rate of recovery for patients and staff retention.
The Translational Research Institute building at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane is an example of a well-designed building which supports the wellbeing of its users."
Malcolm Middleton, Queensland government architect
I'd demolish…
The Cahill Expressway – it's a terrible piece of infrastructure over our doorstep. I'd open up Circular Quay as the gateway to the Sydney CBD, returning the space to the people. There was a period in the 1950s and '60s where traffic engineers had way too much control.They have a lot to answer to.
Philip Vivian, director of Bates Smart
The greatest missed opportunity
That would have to be the National Museum of Australia in Canberra. My main concern is that it represents a singular view of Australian culture. Architecturally, it is frozen in time, relying on over-symbolism and in-jokes.

Veteran Sri Lankan opener Sanath Jayasuriya, who returned to the one-day and Twenty20 team after more than a year on Thursday, will draw curtains on his over two-decade long career after the upcoming series against England.
"I will retire after the England tour from all forms of the game," said the veteran left hander, who will turn 42 on June 30.
Jayasuriya was on Thursday picked to replace Upul Tharanga, who is facing disciplinary action for testing positive for a banned substance during the World Cup, in the 16-member squad which will play five one-day internationals and a single T20 international.
Jayasuriya, now a Member of Parliament for the ruling United People's Freedom Alliance, was last seen in action in an ODI in India in 2009, which was abandoned due to a poor pitch, where he scored 31 runs.
He was overlooked for the World Cup which he claimed to be one of the biggest disappointments of his 22-year long international career.
Jayasuriya said he would play in the T20 game and one of the five one-day internationals starting from June 25. "I do not want to be unfair on upcoming players by trying to play for too long. I will be available to them to share my experience," said Jayasuriya.

Ideally, most drugs would be in the form of a pill taken once a day (or less frequently), but not all drugs can be given this way. Some drugs, such as protein therapeutics, would be digested in the gut, so they have to be given in other ways — perhaps intravenously or injected under the skin (subcutaneously).
Other drugs need to get into specific tissues of the body at high concentrations, and the best way to get them there is to inject them directly (this is often the case where drugs are needed in the brain and spinal cord, such as forALS or spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), as there are barriers between these tissues and the rest of the body which are impermeable to many molecules).
The MDA-sponsored study of ISIS-SOD1Rx in ALS is an example of a drug that needs to be in the central nervous system, so it took the investigators some time to determine how best to administer it. This drug is now in clinical trials using "intrathecal" administration, directly to the cerebrospinal fluid.
Sometimes a low level of a drug could be achieved by swallowing a pill, but you need the drug at high concentrations in a particular tissue, such as an individual muscle, so the best bet is to directly inject the drug into that muscle. So, developers have to carefully evaluate how the drug is best delivered — if the drug doesn't get to high enough levels where it is needed, it won't work. If the drug reaches too-high levels, the developer risks it causing harmful effects.
At the end of this stage, the developer knows how the drug will be administered.Next: Pharmacokinetics & Pharmacodynamics

H-E-B hosts a cupcake 'bake-off' for charity
Updated 7:17 am, Monday, September 30, 2013
SAN ANTONIO – H-E-B is hosting "cupcake bake-offs" throughout Texas at their stores, including one in San Antonio today, to mark three years of promoting literacy with its Read 3 early childhood initiative.
San Antonio's own bake-off is being held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the H-E-B store at 8503 N.W. Military Hwy. Bakery teams from H-E-B stores throughout the city will compete at that location to design a cupcake cake themed off a children's book.
Customers can purchase the cupcakes after they've been judged and further support the initiative by donating new and gently used children's books in special collection bins located in every store.
News Channel
Over the past two years, H-E-B has collected more than 2 million books for children as part of its Read 3 initiative, and aims to collect another 1 million in this year.
H-E-B is also asking teachers and students to pitch in as well by signing up for the Read 3 Book Drive Challenge.
The school in each region that collects the most books will win $1,000 to be used for a literacy initiative or program on their campus, H-E-B said in a statement. In addition, the homeroom responsible for collecting the most books at the winning school will also receive a classroom set of H-E-B school supplies and an H-E-Buddy Lunch Celebration. Schools can find the entry form online at heb.com/read3.

Opening Comments:
"Well you're always happy about a win in the ACC and a road win especially. It was an ugly game at times for both teams. I thought we had a hundred turnovers but we only had nine. I think in the first half James Michael's 15 [points] and nine [rebounds] were really big for us. The second half I thought Reggie got out on the break and we found him on the break. He scored nine points and all of those were in the second half. Marcus had eight off of them in the second half. Dexter had four in the second half because our starting guys on the perimeter Marcus, Dexter and Reggie were 0-9 at halftime and nobody had scored.
"It was good to get them a little more involved and then Leslie McDonald gave us a big lift off of the bench and there's no question about that whatsoever. It's hard to win games shooting 38 percent. It's still a W and that's what you have to look at it and that's the way we'll take it."
Comments on the effect of using the small lineup:
"You look down and see Robert Carter had nine and Daniel [Miller] had six. Kammeon [Holsey] had 10. You'd like for nobody to be in double figures but that's not going to happen. Kammeon had 18 against us at our place. We wanted P.J. to front him more in the low post but we never got that defensive set working. P.J. stayed behind him all night. We jammed down on him a couple of times but we got one turnover and one deflection they ended up getting it. It was okay but it wasn't great.
"I don't like to look down and see they outrebounded us 43 to 38 and second chance points 12 to 9. I do like the fact that we got out on the fast break a little bit more, too. Leslie went down one time and made a great double team and had to move it all around and turned it over on the other side. We've got to be better at it because it does have some deficiencies. P.J. had two great games back-to-back but struggled a little bit more tonight and rushed his shot a little bit."
You mentioned on Saturday that you still weren't playing as fast as you wanted to. Was there some progress there tonight?
"Well in the second half, with some turnovers from Georgia Tech. Reggie had three lay-ups in the second half on the break. We didn't handle it real well. I do like that we're trying to run. Leslie and Reggie had a 2-on-1 and throw it out of bounds and don't get a shot. James Michael throws it off of a guy's leg one time. We're going to keep trying to run it and try to get faster."
On James Michael McAdoo's performance:
"He'd had some big challenges over the last three games with the guys he's trying to guard. He's done a nice job. We've gotten Desmond (Hubert) in the game for a couple of spurts. Jackson (Simmons) tonight helped out. We need to give James Michael some rest periods in that time period. He still played the most minutes in the game tonight. He's really done a good job defensively. He was the defensive player of the game in the Virginia game and I think he was the second in the Duke game."
On McAdoo's new role with the smaller lineup:
"I don't think the offense had affected him at all. I think the biggest adjustment revolves around who he is guarding on the defensive end of the floor. We're asking him to do basically to do the same thing on the offensive end. I wanted him to post up a little bit more. We can't afford to shoot 38 percent and expect to win games."

In brief: One of two men arrested in mugging
Wed., March 26, 2014
A Spokane man had his car, wallet and dog stolen at gunpoint outside his home Monday night by two men. One of the suspects has been arrested.
The dog and second suspect remain unaccounted for, police said.
Police arrested Jeremy Neal, 28, as he drove the victim's car, a white Pontiac Sunfire, around 10:45 p.m. Monday, according to court documents. Neal led officers on a chase, crashed the car into a retaining wall near Gonzaga Prep, and then tried to flee on foot.
The victim told police that Neal and another man mugged him as he gathered his belongings at his car.
The second suspect, described as a dark-skinned man standing about 5-foot-8, weighing about 170 pounds, pointed a gun at the victim's head. He demanded the victim's car keys and wallet, then ripped the victim's shirt off and grabbed the dog.
The victim sprinted away from the suspects, who left in his car and a black SUV described in court documents as possibly a Lincoln Navigator with gold trim.
Man holds up ice cream store
An armed robber stole cash from a Baskin Robbins ice cream shop Tuesday.
Spokane police are investigating the 2:30 p.m. robbery near the corner of Northwest Boulevard and North Monroe Street. The suspect is a white male about 30 years old, 6 feet tall, and wearing a gray jacket and a gray hat. He flashed a gun and demanded money, police said.
Police were called to a second armed robbery at 8:15 p.m. Tuesday. A man showed a gun and demanded cash from an employee at the Sunny Buns Tanning Salon at 2821 E. 27th Ave. Witnesses described him as a white man with a medium build wearing a gray hoodie and sunglasses, police Lt. Dean Sprague said.
They are the 10th and 11th robberies of small shops in the past month, mostly of espresso stands and sandwich shops. Guns were used in most of the robberies. Police say a burgundy-colored Chrysler PT Cruiser may be involved in some of the crimes.

THE leader of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council has paid tribute to chief executive Tony Curtis who has announced he is to step down from his top job later this year.
As reported by The Gazette, chief executive Mr Curtis will be leaving his position on November 30 after seven years at the helm of the officer side of the local authority.
The 61-year-old father-of-three has clocked up 40 years in local Government, joining the borough council 16 years ago as its director of planning and transport, and going on to serve as the deputy chief executive for five years before being promoted to his current role in 2007.
During his time leading over 500 members of staff, who serve 170,000 residents in the borough, the local authority has been rated as the 15th best district in the country for value for money, fifth best for customer satisfaction, and the most financially resilient of all councils.
Other successes during his time at the helm include driving the creation of the Enterprise M3 Local Enterprise Partnership, and the regeneration of Basing View, which has attracted a new John Lewis at home and Waitrose store and a new headquarters for Network Rail.
Paying tribute to Mr Curtis, Councillor Clive Sanders, leader of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, said: "Tony has led the council through a difficult time when funding for local Government has been substantially reduced. He was one of the first to realise the need to restructure the council to meet the new challenges, leading to the £9million in savings that we have made for residents.
"At the same time, Tony was instrumental in helping to create the vision for the future which is starting to take shape, for example the regeneration of Basing View and the work to improve the Top of The Town."
Cllr Sanders added: "He was particularly closely involved in the creation of the local enterprise partnership, Enterprise M3, which is now having such positive results, already attracting over £23m in government funding for our infrastructure.
"He will be greatly missed. We now need to take time to consider the best leadership of the officer side of the council for the future, consulting widely with councillors and staff on the next steps in deciding our senior management."

Principal Curricular Area(s) Addressed: Fine Arts
Oral Interpretation is the expression and sharing of literature with an audience. The function of the interpreter is to establish oneself as a liaison between the author who created the literature and the audience which responds to it. The goal of the interpreter should be influenced by the author's intention which can be discovered by investigation into the author's background, viewpoint and the time and conditions under which the selection was written. For purpose of expectations, we will perform Oral Interpretations along the guidelines of THSSDL (Tennessee High School Speech and Drama League). Schools that participate in speech tournaments or that have a curriculum that includes performance standards use this assignment to introduce the use of voice, facial expressions, and gestures to interpret pieces of literature: poetry, prose and drama.

I seem to be down for a question today.
Have a quick peek at this 30 second video clip to see what happened last time I asked a question.
Get a sense of humour? If this article in today's Telegraph is much to go by, I don't imagine they are laughing about it in Downing Street.
But enough of that. What helpful question might I ask about today .... Europe? The economy? Falling living standards? Political reform? Rising food and energy prices? ....

HTML5 Video - Handling video in HTML5
By: Emiley J Emailed: 1745 times Printed: 2431 times
Latest comments
The concept of storing a video and playing it on a webpage is really complicated. You may need to know a little bit of a background of playing videos on the web in order to appreciate what HTML5 does for playing video on a webpage.
Video files are of many types. You would have heard of AVI files and MPEG4 files which are really a container to store video files. I say container because they are equivalent to a zip file which consists of many files of different types. A video file also contains the actual video, the audio and some meta data about the video and saves it in a single file.
So just as you have many different zip file extractors, you also have many video players. Just as there are many type of video files, there are many type of video players and they may not understand all the different types of video files. That is why some of the video files are not playable from some video players.
So if you think of a video player's job, it does three things:
- Understand the type of video file container and read its contents
- Decode the video and play the video stream
- Decode the audio and play the audio
To do steps 2 and 3 above, the player must understand the different codecs that the video/audio was encoded in and then use the same decoder to decode before playing. This is the reason why there is NO Single video player that can play all types of video files. In fact, what YouTube does is when you upload any video file, it converts the video and stores it in a format that the youtube understands which is a flash movie type.
So prior to HTML5 there was no common accepted method to represent and play video on a webpage without the need for a plugin such as silverlight or flash etc, due to the above complexities. So HTML5 introduces a new tag called <video> tag which lets you list all the different formats of the same video within the <video> tag and lets the browser decide which format to use and play the video.
The below code illustrates this.
<video width="560" height="340" controls>
<source src="bday.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'>
<source src="bday.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
So with HTML5 you can make sure your video is playable in all browsers and devices, here's what your video workflow will look like:
- Make one version that uses WebM (VP8 + Vorbis).
- Make another version that uses H.264 baseline video and AAC "low complexity" audio in an MP4 container.
- Make another version that uses Theora video and Vorbis audio in an Ogg container. *
- Link to all three video files from a single <video> element, and fall back to a Flash-based video player.

Loved it!: Disney Fantasy Cruise Review by Allisonfaye
Overall Member Rating
Loved it!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Things we liked: we booked a suite and the utilization of the space was excellent. Plenty of storage space everywhere including the bathrooms.
Cleanliness. They are obsessive about cleanliness. It's good.
Loved all the ports of call. Castaway Cay is wonderful in every way. Clean, nicely laid out and of course, beautiful.
Food: food was ok. We are big foodies and eat in some pretty good restaurants so we are a bit spoiled. Most people would find it pretty good, I think. Remy was good. My husband liked Palo, I didn't think it was that great. We didn't do the buffet at Remy. I have been to some high end buffets and they don't really do much for me. I am a quality over quantity of food kind of gal.
Shows: They have a new show every night. Most were really good. They had a hypnotist that was a lot of fun especially when he got a cocky guy to come up and do his rendition of One Direction. More He also had two women (one was accidental) thinking they were Elsa from Frozen singling Let it Go. It was a riot. Aladdin was my favorite show. The guy who played the Genie was wonderful and hilarious.
Entertainment: I did bingo twice. Don't do it early. The jackpot is always going to be won in the last session. But it will be crowded for sure.
Things we didn't like:
All the public areas are cold. I am one of those people who is always cold so this was no surprise. Everyone is always talking bout being green. I wish they would stop freezing us with the a/c everywhere we go. Bring sweaters.
The servers rotate with you as you go through your dining rotation. They are almost to the point of being intrusive, constantly asking you how things are, can they get you anything and what you did that day. Call me crazy but I don't really like idle chitchat with the waitstaff.
Kids pools: small and very crowded. Less

The Sun Kings: Ultimate Beatles Tribute Band
Hannah Nicole Vineyards & Winery
Friday, July 26, 2013 from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM (PDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Ever wonder what The Beatles might have sounded like had they reunited?
For years the Bay Area's own Sun Kings have been thrilling packed houses and outdoor festivals with their musical tribute to The Beatles around Northern California. Their attention to detail is uncanny and their energy reminiscent of the joy and excitement felt at a real Beatles concert. Every member of The Sun Kings has been a huge Beatles fan since childhood. As they pursued their individual musical endeavors, pre-Sun Kings, they all counted The Beatles as their biggest influence. To be part of this musical tribute feels as natural as walking to them. Don't expect to see John, Paul, George, or Ringo look-alikes. Do expect to hear your favorite Beatles' songs performed brilliantly, as you've come to know and love them. And of course, expect to have a FAB-ulous time!
The Sun Kings repertoire contains over 100 Beatles songs spanning The Beatles entire musical career from "She Loves You" to "I am the Walrus" to Side 2 of Abbey Road.
This event is restricted to guests 21 years and older. This is an evening event that will be performed rain or shine. No refunds. If the performance is cancelled by HNV, full refund for tickets, or credit for future events, will be given. Picnicking is allowed for this concert event. Winery licensing prohibits any alcohol brought onto the property for consumption; even wines previously purchased here. Besides, that's like taking sand to the beach. Tickets and admission wristband is not transferable. Your admission includes one commemorative wine glass for your personal use. Broken, lost or stolen glasses can be replaced by purchase only. Please bring seating for you and your group that is discreet.

Watch Scared Natalie Portman in 'Black Swan' (VIDEO)
Natalie Portman ballet-dances, hits the club and frequently freaks out in a new music video for her upcoming awards season contender, Black Swan.
The chilling music video released by Apple (via Movieline) finds ballerina Natalie feuding with Mila Kunis, shrieking in darkened rehearsal rooms and donning terrifying stage makeup, suggesting that the thriller from director Darren Aronofsky has a hefty horror component. Nevertheless, Natalie's elegant ballet skills are looking quite solid, thanks to her ballerino boyfriend, Benjamin Millepied, who served as a choreographer on the film.
Check out the video below and tell us in the comments – do you want to see Black Swan?

Tarte SmolderEyes Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eye Liner
Tarte SmolderEyes Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eye Liner Reviews
Tarte, I Only Have Eyes For You!I wrote in a recent review that my once dependable, rock-steady hand which could apply eyeliner in moving vehicles and over rocky roads is now a bit shaky. I've often found myself with liner on my cheeks and nose as well as my eyes. A friend advised me to try these chubby sticks as an easy-to-use, wonderful alternative. She is an all-knowing beauty diva, and I couldn't understand how such an un...read morewieldy instrument could create thin lines. I examined the colors--they are dazzling and opulent, from "Fig" (plum) to "Golden Black" to a fascinating "Moss" and "Smoke." I considered the cost--$22.00 was a tad steep for one pencil, but at the time when I first purchased these Sephora offered five colors for a low discounted price. The formula is waterproof, free of irritants, and contains Amazonian Clay, a complex ingredient which works to improve skin's clarity, elasticity, and texture. The clay is also touted to remove oil from your complexion's surface, allowing products to work better and last longer. So I caved and bought a set. And then I bought another for my sister. And then I bought a third for my best friend . . . These liners are simply stunning! You have to experiment with them, but the rounded tip actually creates any width of line you want, from the most fine to outrageously wild. The colors locks in for all-day and all-night wear. There is a built-in smudger to soften color; I like to use this under my bottom lashes for a sultry appearance. A sharpener was included with the set, and I appreciated that. My eyes simply "pop" with these hues; try it--yours will as well! — 4 years, 4 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

What's the point? African elephants know
African elephants really get the point — the finger point that is. At least, that's the conclusion of a study published Thursday in the journal Current Biology that examined the behavior of 11 pachyderms who were pointed in the direction of hidden snacks.
According to study author Richard Byrne, a professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, African elephants will investigate the contents of a container 68 percent of the time if a human points to it.
A 12-month-old human will check out the indicated container 73 percent of the time.
The test subjects, who had names like Coco, Jake and Malasha, were placed in front of two buckets, one of which contained a snack.
A human experimenter would stand between the buckets and point to the one that had the treat. (The elephants could not see into the buckets, and controls were conducted to ensure that the animals weren't simply sniffing out the treats.)

Haha, the timing of this subject line is hilarious.

Although the phrase has come up in other places, I'm assuming you're referencing the stickers you used to get when ordering LEDs from LSDiodes, right?

Well I e-mailed the folks at LSDiodes back inĀDecemberĀasking if they had any more of those "Robots will kill you" stickers around, and they got back to me just this Friday. They're sending me some!

If anyone is interested I can:

a) give you the e-mail address of the keeper of the stickers,

and/or

b) upload some high res scans of the stickers when I get them, so they can be re-vectorified for posterity.

I loves those stickers.

To state the obvious - the Internet is ubiquitous. This sub-sector, as it is often named, is woven into all facets of our daily lives.
Internet-focused companies now populate ETFs covering a range of sectors, including consumer discretionary, media and entertainment, financial, communications, and health care.
Happily, those investors seeking a focused, rather than a scatter-shot approach to Internet-sector coverage, have two pure-play Morningstar five-star Internet ETFs to choose from. And both funds offer impressive three-year returns.
First Trust Dow Jones Internet IndexSM Fund (NYSEARCA:FDN): Uses the Dow Jones Internet Composite IndexSM. For a company to be included in the index, it must generate at least 50% of its annual sales/revenues from the Internet. The Index composition is reviewed each quarter. Rebalancing takes effect after the close of trading on the third Friday of March, June, September and December. Performance: YTD:7.45, 1-Year: 14.69, 3-Year: 15.76, 5-Year: 12.62. Net expense ratio: 0.60%. FDN holds 41 U.S. domestic companies; its top ten holdings are Google, Inc CL A (NASDAQ:GOOG), Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY); Priceline.com (NASDAQ:PCLN), Yahoo! (YHOO), Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM), Facebook, Inc-A (NASDAQ:FB), LinkedIn Corp (LNKD), Equinix (NASDAQ:EQIX), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX).
PowerShares NASDAQ Internet Portfolio (NASDAQ:PNQI): Holdings based on the NASDAQ Internet Index that tracks the performance of the largest and most liquid U.S.-listed companies engaged in internet-related businesses and that are listed on one of the major U.S. stock exchanges. Holdings are rebalanced and reconstituted quarterly. Performance: YTD: 7.05, 1-Year: 8.97, 3-Year: 16.68. Net expense ratio: 0.60%. PNQI offers 74 holdings including foreign (18%) and U.S. domestic (82%) companies. Its top ten holdings are eBay, Priceline.com, Facebook, Google, Amazon.com, Yahoo!, Equinix, Inc, Baidu, Inc (NASDAQ:BIDU), Netflix, Expedia, Inc (NASDAQ:EXPE).
FDN Total Return Price data by YCharts
Summary: Both of these ETFs offer multiple sector coverage within the Internet universe. PNQI offers 70.15% Information Technology holdings and 29.27% Consumer Discretionary holdings, while FDN offers 71.98% Information Technology, 22.15% Consumer Discretionary, and Financials 4.22%.
Both of these funds are top heavy. FDN's top ten holdings make up 51.52% of holdings, with PNQI's top ten accounting for 58.50% of holdings.
Conclusion: PNQI is the better choice for investors because of its overall broader coverage of domestic Internet companies and its inclusion of foreign Internet companies. Its foreign holdings focus primarily on Chinese companies, including Baidu, NetEase (NASDAQ:NTES), Sina Corporation, Qihoo 360 Technology (NYSE:QIHU), and Russia's Yandex NV.
FDN is a true pure play on Internet coverage, however, its totally domestic focus will not serve investors well in the long-term. The fact that it automatically excludes companies that generate less than 50% of their annual sales/revenues from the Internet could also be a drag on future earnings.

This gorgeous three dimensional solid ivory alabaster collector plate of a Madonna and child was hand crafted at the Studio Dante di Volteradici in Toscana, Italy, in 1978 by the Master Ado Santini. It is the first in the "Living Madonnas" series. The plate has a certificate of authenticity with plate number 7846 printed in Italian on one side and English on the other. The front of the plate bears the artist's signature as well as the studio's name and the year done in Roman numerals. The metal plate on the underside needs regluing and has some discoloration. The plate is in excellent condition except for one tiny dark speck on the nostril of the child. The plate measures 8.5" in diameter. A pamphlet written in English describes the series and production of the plate. It comes in its original shipping box which is sturdy but worn.
2 other shoppers have this item in their Cart or Wish List .
Great collectibles, friendly service, careful packing and quick shipping. Purrfect!!

Patrick Wilson and Amy Smart will both become the leadstars of Plum Pictures' drama project "Life in Flight."
Set to mark their first onscreen collaboration, Patrick Wilson and Amy Smart have both signed on to star together in drama feature "Life in Flight", a new film production coming from Plum Pictures.
Slated to begin filming next month, the project focuses on a talented builder-architect with a seemingly perfect life who is forced to reassess his existence after his unexpected meeting with an urban designer. Tracey Hecht has been appointed to both write and direct while Galt Niderhoffer, Daniela Taplin Lundberg, Celine Rattray and Pam Hirsch will all seat as the producers.
Wilson, a 1995 graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, currently can be seen onscreen playing alongside Annette Bening and Joseph Fiennes in Columbia Pictures' dramedy "Running with Scissors." As for Smart, the beauty recently appeared in two high-profile pictures of "Peaceful Warrior" and "Crank" in which she acted opposite Jason Statham.

Nothing warms the hearts of our extremist friends at the DailyKos, a major leftist website, more than uplifting propaganda straight from North Korea. And thanks to the AP's questionable Pyongyang Bureau, staffed by Regime-trained "reporters", we now have exciting updates on "the good life" inside the Hermit Kingdom's capital city.
Kos diarist winnerforlife used the latest dodgy AP dispatch to attack American accounts of starvation and generally miserable circumstances, praising its "HEALTHCARE!!!", reports of luxury goods (even kiwi fruit from New Zealand!) available in the capital and what the wire service called "glossy construction downtown" resulting in a street that "would not look out of place in Seoul, Shanghai or Singapore".
Winnerforlife seized upon the AP's "proof" that Americans have the NK story all wrong: "wait, I thought that communist socialist Marxist Leninist Maoist dictatorship means bland bland living where everyone works in grey factory buildings and eats the same food, preferably thin gruel."
Lights in Pyongyang! Those unfortunate souls in Singapore must be crying in their penthouses and Ferraris.
Apparently the KosKooks were unaware that the Kim dictatorship has ALWAYS kept trusted supporters well-stocked with luxury items, it's key to the family's survival. Every marxist hellhole in the last 100 years has done the same thing. The only difference now is the AP's shady "reporting" from the scene.

America's Next Top Model 11
Sheena the ninth girl eliminated from 'America's Next Top Model'
By John Bracchitta, 10/30/2008
The inability of Sheena, a 21-year-old hostess/go-go dancer from Honolulu, HI, to balance her so-called "hootchiness" with her attempts to become more "modelesque" finally caught up to her as she became the ninth girl to be eliminated from
America's Next Top Model
eleventh season during last night's broadcast of The CW reality series.
"Honestly I'm very sad to leave because I'm walking away from
Top Model
kind of like forever. But I would have never imagined to see myself come this far even though this is always what I've wanted, it's incredible," Sheena said following her elimination. "Because of this my life will never be the same, but at the same time, that's my mark. There's never gonna be another Sheena, and I really don't feel that I lost anything."
America's Next Top Model
eighth episode began with Elina, a 19-year-old from Seattle, WA, lamenting her poor performance at the last judging panel as she and the other girls packed for their upcoming trip to Amsterdam, Holland.
"I don't think I did that bad, but I can't do anything without hearing the word 'control,'" Elina said, referring to the judges repeated criticism that she controls her emotions too much.
McKey, a 19-year-old student from Lake Forest, IL, also expressed frustration because the judges had yet to deem one of her photos to be a photo shoot's best photo -- a situation she vowed to rectify at the girls' next judging panel.
"I'm a the point where I don't like being in the middle," she said.
Sheena also looked forward to the Amsterdam trip and whatever challenges she had waiting for her across the pond.
"I have no idea what's in store for me in Amsterdam. All I know is I started this competition too sexy, so I'm learning how to be more 'modelesque,' and this competition has taught me that," she said prior to arriving in Amsterdam.
Once they arrived in Amsterdam, the girls met with
Holland's Next Top Model
host Daphne Deckers. After greeting them, Deckers sent the girls on their first challenge, an
The Amazing Race
-like task which required them to acclimate themselves to the city by pairing up and traveling to their new house on their own.
The first pair to arrive at the house would receive 50 extra frames to split at their next photo shoot.
After the girls paired up into teams consisting of Elina and Samantha, an 18-year-old student athlete from Woodland Hills, CA; Sheena and McKey; and Analeigh, a 19-year-old student from Sacramento, CA, and Marjorie, a 19-year-old student from San Francisco, CA; they were given their first assignment: buying a train ticket at Amsterdam Central and boarding their train.
While Analeigh and Marjorie missed the train after trying to pay for their ticket in American money, both Sheena and McKey as well as Elina and Samantha caught the train and traveled to their stop, where received another clue that told them to go to Dam Centrum, a local park.
Elina and Samantha were the first team to arrive at Dam Centrum, where they received directions to their house at 346 Herengracht, and won the challenge by arriving at the house first.
"I am so happy to have those extra frames, you have no idea," said Elina.
"It was weird working with Elina but we kind of just bonded," Samantha said, referring to her previously frosty relationship with Elina. "I didn't know what was going on, maybe she was making a truce or something."
Analeigh and Marjorie arrived at the house second, and Sheena and McKey followed afterward.
That night, as the girls adjusted to their new pad, McKey, Samantha and Sheena just when Elina, Analeigh, and Marjorie took a loud late-night bath that kept them awake.
"If Sheena or Samantha goes home I'm going to die because the other three I just don't relate with," McKey said after the incident.
The next day, the girls traveled to the city's Red Light District to meet with runway expert J. "Ms. J" Alexander and Carlo Wijnands -- a representative for Red Light Fashion Amsterdam, a city organization that turns old brothels into fashion venues -- for their next challenge.
Once there, they were informed that the challenge would require the girls to break into pairs and then partner with a local designer and model their clothing in a former brothel's front window.
"We're taking the setting of where prostitutes kind of make their living and sitting in the windows that the prostitutes sit in. This is extremely controversial," said Analeigh later.
Samantha and McKey were paired together with designer Edwin Oudshoorn, who had the girls wear clothing and pose with a "dollhouse" theme.
Sheena and Marjorie were paired with designer Bas Kosters, who dressed the girls in expressive rock and roll garbs.
Elina and Analeigh were paired with designer Jan Taminiau, who had the girls pose in "romantic gowns that can be turned into jackets."
After observing the girls as they posed in their windows, Miss J. gathered the girls and had Red Light Fashion Amsterdam's Mariette Hoitink reveal that the challenge winners would be invited to walk in multiple shows at Amsterdam Fashion Week.
Miss J. then awarded the challenge to Samantha and McKey, who he credited for working together and listening to their designer's requests to look like dolls with their poses.
After returning to the house and being informed of another photo shoot the following day, Samantha and Elina's brief peace came to an end when the two got in an argument over the whether or not legal prostitution should be respected. The argument ended with Elina saying she felt she was being "targeted" by Samantha.
"For a split second running through Amsterdam I made her get on my page," a frustrated Samantha said after the argument. "But now she's off again, about 100 pages away. So I'm hoping Elina is in the bottom two."
The next day, the girls traveled to a port and met with photo shoot director Jay Manuel, who told them their photo shoot would require them to pose on a boat while wearing "mid-century dresses with a modern twist" with photographer Andy Tan.
After initially feeling dizzy on the boat, McKey settled down and impressed Jay with her poses.
"Week after week McKey is slowly breaking out of her shell," Jay said before adding he had been impressed with the creativity of her poses.
While Sheena attempted to reign in her "sexiness" during the shoot, Jay wasn't impressed when she straddled a wooden beam for one of her poses.
"It's interesting to me that Sheena always finds the most lewd pose to do," he said.
Elina was so focused while posing that she initially didn't hear Jay's repeated request to loosen up and look less tense.
Jay was also impressed with Analeigh, who he said "finally brought the skater to set" with her unique poses on the side of the boat. He also credited Marjorie with finally taking his criticism without internalizing it and taking it personally.
Following the shoot, Sheena noted that it was hard to predict the judges' opinions, but felt confident with her shoot.
"I don't feel like the weakest, I feel like I am improving," she said. "I do feel more modelesque, and no matter how beautiful you are and no matter how talented you are, you can always end up going home, so I'm fighting hard for this and I will never give up."
At the ensuing judging panel, judge Nigel Barker credited Elina's photo as "one of the most high fashion poses" he had ever seen from her, while guest judge Daphne Deckers complimented her "strong" face.
However, while Tyra liked her photo, she added that Elina had looked "stiff" on much of her film.
Both Nigel and judge
Paulina Porizkova
felt that Sheena's photo was dull and had not balanced her sexiness and modeling ability correctly.
"I think your face is beautiful and your clothes are beautiful, but that's about it," Paulina said.
The judges loved McKey's shot, with Paulina saying that she was "getting it" and Tyra marveling that she'd managed to achieve a photo that usually takes 20 rolls of film to capture in only a handful of shots.
"That's a fashion shot," Tyra exclaimed.
During the judges' private deliberations, Daphne elaborated on Nigel's comment that Elina's shot had been her best high fashion photo so far.
"This is the best high fashion picture that she has so far? Then I don't think that's very good," she said.
Nigel also elaborated on his problem with Sheena's shot, which he said had "no life" to it.
"It's so sad that Sheena's face is so strong in this but her body is not. She needs to find the balance between being too sexy and being flat," he commented.
After reconvening with the girls, Tyra announced that McKey's shot had been chosen as the week's best.
She then proceeded to call out additional photos for Analeigh, Marjorie, and Samantha -- leaving Sheena and Elina as the week's bottom two girls.
"Elina, the judges are now saying that yes, you take a pretty picture, but they don't see a model in front of them. And something that is consistently said throughout this competition about you is this certain 'control,' and now what that it is doing is turning into stiffness in your photos," Tyra told Elina. "So although you delivered a nice photo this week, your film was so, so, so, so stiff, So your good shot ended up being luck."
"And then we have Sheena, the girl that is the opposite of Elina, full of a personality and not so interested in being totally in control, a person that people want to be around," Tyra continued. "[Your] photos have been ok, some have been absolutely gorgeous and some, eh, not so good. So who stays?"
Tyra then revealed that Sheena had been eliminated from the competition.
