Design Technology: Photography
Rosebery Middle School
This photograph was taken using an old camera, using actual film, decades before computers were around. It's famous. Why?
Today, we all take photographs, often using nothing more than a phone. Usually they're not very good. So how do we take great photos instead? How do make our pictures the best they can be? In this unit you will be exploring what makes amazing photography, learning to take beautiful shots of your own, and learning how to edit them afterwards so they really stand out.
The best way to learn something new is when you know you have to teach it to someone else. I want you to assume that I, your teacher, know nothing about photography. You're going to teach me all about it. To start with, here is your first topic.
Who are the best photographers of all time, and what makes their work so great?
You need to do some research, and present what you learn to me. Make a slideshow, write a report, or make a Tackk (like this one). I need to see these elements:
1. A basic biography of at least 3 famous photographers - pick ones whose work you find inspiring.
2. For each of those 3 photographers, a collection of at least 5 of their best pictures. For each one, write a description of why you think it is an example of an amazing photograph.
When you have taught me what you learned, you're ready to move on. The next thing I need to know about is composition: what kinds of pictures it's possible to take, and how to arrange the elements of a shot so they look their best. Add to Part 1 by answering this:
What kinds of shot can you take with a camera? (E.g. close up) For each kind of shot, show me 4 examples.
What are the rules of composition? Describe them to me, and for each one, show me 4 examples.
Don't forget, you will be handing in Parts 1 and 2 for marking before you start taking your own photos!

Find Missing Money For Free
August 26, 2011 by USA Post
Find Missing Money For Free, About one in 10 people have unclaimed money waiting out there for them – into oblivion security department deposits, unpaid overtime checks, lost insurance reimbursement and more – however, few search for it.
We've helped hundreds in cash and find your unclaimed money in our "Good Morning America" series, "Show Me the Money."
To show that if you spend only 10 minutes of searching, you may also enjoy, we searched the names of the 286 employees who work in our "Good Morning America" studio and offices.
In our anchors for producers and crew who work behind the cameras, we searched all of them. Sometimes we had to be a bit of a detective to get the information you need to identify people.
He also enlisted the help of New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli and his team, dealing with weighty matters like the state paychecks and pensions, but also make your own version of a prize patrol.
"We have a broad mission and an important task and a very dedicated group of employees, and the happiest people are those who work in unclaimed funds, since they get to give people money," said DiNapoli. "That always puts a smile on everyone's face."
The state of New York is located in a remarkable $ 11 million in unclaimed funds. That's more than any other state alone.
After our research and search online, found that Robin Roberts had money from your old cable company. Makeup artist Robin, Ellen George, had some money waiting.
"GMA" was co-anchor of Weekend Bianna Golodryga cash from his college days, and "GMA" news anchor Josh Elliott had forgotten the funds in his name since his days on ESPN. The state of California is holding our partner lost checks for special and "ETAP" alum Cameron Mathison.
Diane Sawyer had found three that were owed money, and one of them was our "World News" anchor. Emeril Lagasse, one of our favorite chefs moms surprise breakfast in bed, is a surprise unclaimed money from your account.
"GMA" anchor Sam Champion time is money to charge your cell phone company. Producer Sam, Darcy Bonfils, and other members of staff behind the scenes came into some money too.
In total, 286 names searched and found the money for 24 people on staff. That's 12 percent – slightly above average. We also searched on "Good Morning America" ??and "ABC News," and found several accounts of unclaimed funds in the state of New York.
The grand total: 43,726 y. To contribute to our series, "The hunger in the country: the crisis in the U.S.," ABC News will donate the money found to help needy families.
Now it's your turn to profit! All 50 states and the District of Columbia are currently carrying out at least and 32 million dollars in unclaimed money, waiting to meet the legitimate owners. There is a simple search you can do in 10 minutes or less. In addition, we discovered more unusual sources of unclaimed cash that few people know.

Yes. In the tenth mission, You and Emile are delivering the Package to the Pillar of Autumn, but en-route to going there, a scarab stands directly in your way. Carter,, wounded and in a burning pelican, has this conversation with you as he dies --
"A Scarab suddenly walks down in front of Emile and Six.
- Emile-A239: "Mother... We can get past it, sir!"
Emile walks back in hesitation.
- Carter-A259 (COM): "No you can't. Not without help."
- Emile-A239: "Commander, you don't have the firepower!"
After noticing the two Spartans, the Scarab charges its main cannon, aiming at the two SPARTAN-IIIs. Carter's Pelican flies over and shoots at it. The Scarab is distracted and stops charging its cannon.
- Carter-A259 (COM): "I've got the mass."
- Emile-A239: "Solid copy. Hit 'em hard, boss."
- Carter-A259 (COM): "You're on your own, Noble... Carter out."
Carter rams the Pelican into the Scarab's side as it charges its main cannon again. The Scarab's side bursts into flames, explosions rocking within it. The Scarab lets out a dying scream and struggles to stay on the cliff. More explosions rock it and it falls down the cliff. A loud explosion is heard indicating its destruction. The view switches back to the two SPARTAN-IIIs."
It is fantasized that Carter could've jumped out just as the Pelican hit the Scarab, but as he says carter out, less than half a second passes between him finishing his sentence and him crashing into the Scarab. He couldn't have survived, and this is how he dies.

Here at DGLM, we're doing one of our periodic webpage updates, so I was taking another look at my personal essay. Over the past two years, it's been heartening to receive numerous submissions from writers who felt a connection with me because I grew up reading Tintin and Asterix comics. Full disclosure, though: while I certainly started out with those series, and continued to read them for years, I did move on to more traditional comic books like X-men, Spider-man, and Teen Titans. (Hey, they were big in the 80s.) In fact, I only started with Tintin and Asterix because my parents thought the rest were junk!
It wasn't until I started earning some spending money that I became a regular at the old West Side Comics on 86th Street—I was there on the day Spider-man debuted his black costume, and for a brief stretch, I could tell you the difference between all the printings of the original Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles. Needless to say, my parents still thought they were junk, but at least when I was ready to put them away in high school, they didn't haul them off to the dump. Though it has been a while since I've seen the boxes in the attic—next visit, I think I need to do a thorough inventory…
Anyway, all of this came to mind when I was reading an essay by Jeramey Kraatz at Nerdy Book Club. For anyone who has a low opinion of comic books and worries that they rot your brain, it's worth a read. I love his explanation of the imaginative aspect of comics, and how, contrary to the common opinion that comics put everything on the page, he shows that the panel format actually encourages visualization and makes readers fill in the blanks. And I think he makes a good case for how comics not only spur further reading development but also writing—seems like a great parenting tip to have kids write their own stories while they wait for the next monthly installment of their favorite series.
So, dear readers, did any of you find your creative spark in the land of Marvel and D.C.? Have you developed storytelling techniques based on the panel format? And, for fun, what's the best comic you've got stored in your parents' basement? For me, it's either TMNT #2 or some really old Spideys.


text: It appears that the custom alarm & notification sounds can only be stored on the SD card. A problem I have found is that when you have the phone plugged in to charge it un-mounts the SD card. If you have an alarm when it's plugged in you don't get a sound. I realise you can select the 'Charge only' option when you plug it in but that's easy to forget and sometimes you want the phone to act as an external drive. Also sometimes after removing it from charge the alarms are still mute. I think this may be because an alarm failed to play when on charge then the phone defaults to no alarm sound. Is there a way to get round this? Saving alarm sounds to phone itself would help. I have rooted my phone. Many thanks for any help I have a HTC Desire running Froyo 2.2

While we were gone: The Good, pt. 2: Elitemaiden makes Fark
Of course, EM drama couldn't possibly be contained in the mere confines of the comments of one of our posts. No, she went and claimed she was being oppressed, by both players and GMs, and threatened to sue Blizzard. While the original forum thread has been deleted, we have a text copy here.
Some highlights:
"I would like to bring to your attention the horrendous crime one of your employees have committed against Elitemaiden, a faithful World of Warcraft player (who played the game since the game began), causing her to quit the game in UNDUE time. (Especially when I am already in a GREAT guild full of GREAT people). Now that guild is forced into having no mage and may possibly not do as well as intended. I did not waste MY TIME trolling ANYONE. I have already been revered and heroic keyed for many instances.
Forum Moderater Corelei is responsible for encouraging the vicious slandering of my good name in the game on the forums both in Hyjal and in Drenden. He is the very reason why people feel empowered to troll me."
"Many jealous people came out of the woodworks to troll that thread. After that first initial trolling post, Blizzard did NOTHING to stop the trolling. It seemed as though every person who FAILED in the game tried to pin their ownfailure upon my head even though I did not know them, did not ever play with them nor interacted with them. They were jealous and envious of my noble and fun gaming including romances and the Grand Marshal Barbarconan forever kneeling at my feet every single day at Ironforge…"
"Hyjal I found to be a server that was OPPRESSED by the big guilds. It was shocking to me that people were so undergeared. The rich were filthy rich and the poor were in RAGS. Nobody cared about helping with anything. Most of them had not even seen MC yet. And it was already NAXX era."
The trolls were spreading LIES. Literally making up LIES out of thin air. And nobody was there to keep them from LYING and continuing to cuase trouble for me."
"Finally GM Corelei showed up again…after already missing many deleted posts, he again PUTS my name in lights, and asserts in big bold letters falsely framing ME. Where was he when the trolls started the threads? What right does he have to assert blame when he did NOTHING to protect me? When I was the one reported these people and ASKED for help thousands upon thousands of times, I was ignored and pushed aside?
HOW DARE HE now come and assert such slanderious LIES about me to the general public when he has failed in your efforts to keep a clean and safe environment. When he disrespects the VICTIM and turns the VICTIM into a false accused.
HIDING all the thousands of archived slanders and vicious attempts to create drama for Elitemaiden.
"I demand a retraction of the unfair and unjust BAN upon my account even if it is AFTER I had already quit the game (me quitting being CAUSED by the unjust SLANDER and TROLLING of Forum Moderator Corelei).
My mage is of no small measure of time invested.
She is highly skilled as you can see on her ARMORY and cause for others to be jealous because they are TOO lazy to fish, level up tailoring, cooking, first aid, etc."
"I would also like to note that they came from ALL other realms to TROLL me in Drenden as of the latest incident where Corelei has FAILED to note this fact. THEY are the ones who are causing strife within the community and he is empowering them to do so. Therefore it is CLEAR to me that he has targed me for trolling and targeted me for victimizing and he has sabatoged my account and my access to the forums to not only report the trolls but to defend my rights as a paying customer.
I DEMAND his superiors look into this immediately. I demand that the legal department investigate the archives of the forums.
There is nothing there but SLANDER and LIES and VICIOUS GOSSIP.
You need to look at the GROSSLY FAILED purpose of your public forums and archives. They are nothing to be proud of."
While we were gone: The Good, pt. 1: More Elitemaiden
We may have been sitting idle, posting-wise, but we're always on the lookout for LOLz. Our resident artist has drawn us some emo characters to pretty up the mainpage. Both the emo undead and emo Night Elf show that WoW, truly, is serious business.
On with the show. Drama, like rust, never sleeps.
Just like a Spaghetti Western, there's the good, bad and ugly of WoW drama.
We're gonna start with the Good: Elitemaiden, whom we've chronicled here before, creates some meta-drama in the comments of our post about her.
"So why are you guys swallowing all this cow dung anyways?
Who is crazy? Is it not this person who's real life is DESTROYED by wow or an epic mage who you all troll because your lives have no meaning?"
-Elitemaiden exclusively.
There's all sorts of other gems in them thar comments, too – two levels of meta-drama, those directly involving Elitemaiden, and those not:
For whit, level 1:
"Hey meta
You are nothing but a gutless prick. Seriously what you have said goes beyond reproach.
ANd who the hell are you to decide what should go punished and unpunished. You seriously sicken me with this retoric of yours.
If you read this again, and I hope you do, I hope you think about what you have done. I hope you think about the criomes that you have commited.
You won you reckon? The only thing you won metazare is nothing more than having the distinction of being a blight on society"
"Arkell, blow off. How dare you acuse of bullying people on Hyjal. The only fault that was made was not realizing earlier that you couldn't hack it with the rest of us. So how bout you get out from behind Elitemaidens piss flaps and be a man by droppin this peddly crap about Meta and how you hate him so much. Grow a sack, fill it with some balls, and move on. I had no issues with you, but when you attack Krieg and everyone in it, well then I take offense to that. P.O.P."
And level 2:
"That's really kind of funny considering you ruined Atala's life flirting with him every day. I think when he found out you were in fact a married adulteress, he finally quit wow."
-The EM herself, to Desideria
But the best was yet to come…
Hello to all of our new readers. May I point you towards the RSS feed we have down near the bottom of the page there, for all your syndication needs. We haven't updated in a while as time seems to have gotten away from us, but now you're a large, whiny, demanding force, just how we like it, and we want to deliver.
We promised a while back to reward the top 2 in our drama competition, and we neglected to put a vote up at the time. Kingfox will be putting one up shortly, and we'll be awarding the top 2 entries with 60-day gamecards.
OH NOES, huntards everywhere!
This is a 2-part post. Firstly, thanks to James Lame: Dont group with Hunters, they are Imba!
This is a total win in drama.
It's basicly that hunters are imba and the soulution is to never play with them or help them in anyway, becuse then Blizzard will nerf them for some magical reason.
Check it out:
I have noticed many nerf-threads here and i agree with most of them. And i have solution: dont summon them if u are warlock, dont heal them if u are priest/druid, dont do water/food for them if u are mage. And harder part: DONT PLAY WITH THEM. If u are going to instance say that if hunter comes u leave. I have kicked one time and maybe 30 times they havent took hunter. U pay for this game (or ur mom/dad) do u wanna that some class is so uber-zomg-pwnage that it is clearly overpowered? and its pwzns ur class without problems? Atleast i dont want it. Try it, eventually they stop playing hunters or blizz will nerf them.
And on the flip side of the coin: Worst hunter ever?
@razzaelstop camping people in STV…first you kill the friend we were getting raptor hunter tunic for then you camp us for trying to get back at you!
locks need a nerf hardcore…no way a 34 lock should be able to kill a 64 so easily and camp me
Choice quotes: " Are you disabled? Do you play WOW without the use of your hands? If you are a normal, healthy person then please consider the following:
"C'mon folks, let's help a fellow hunter out. First, you should cast "Call Pet" or go tame a pet if you haven't already done so. Next, put your pet on defensive or aggressive and now you should have almost doubled your DPS!
Tomorrow's lesson: How to augment autoshot DPS using Arcane Shot."
Going out with a 'bang'…
We've all been stuck in dead-end instance groups at one point or another, and we've all given excuses on why we need to leave suddenly, though often we just switch to an alt for a while to escape.
But in this case, I think this guy was serious… the group was apparently proceeding smoothly through the Steamvaults, working well together, etc.
Our thoughts are with ya bud!
We're still here, promise
Sorry, the WoW drama team has been busy levelling to 70 and getting keyed up. We're still here, with more drama to come soon. Keep sending in your entries for the drama competition!
i guess im a bit shy when it comes to being in groups with people i don't even know
Found over at AFK Gamer (the greatest WoW blog out there, and a must read for any raider.) Socks from Jaedenar posts, begging for help under the subject, "im a girl and im new to WoW." Only, they do it from their male 60 pally by mistake, complete with pally sig and ctprofile link.
my character is lvl 22 right now..human rogue and im in re-ridge. i did all the easier solo quests and all i have left in re-ridge are the harder group quests. i guess im a bit shy when it comes to being in groups with people i dont even know so should i continue to complete those quests? or should i go to darkshirt and start doing solo quests there?
Whoops! They're immediately called out on it, and delete the thread. Luckily, Foton from AFK Gamer took a screen shot (found here on Flickr (make sure you view it at original size)), and a furl archive (found here).
Classic WoW Drama, Vol. 2: Serenity Now
In a game with 7 millon plus players, drama of some type is inevitable, and usually constant. Hell, in any gathering of two or more people, drama of some type is inevitable, and usually constant. Even in this constant stream, however, there are some dramas that rise above to become known throughout the WoWsphere. They become… Classic WoW Drama.
There was a woman who really enjoyed playing WoW. She died of a stroke. Her friends and guild members decided to hold an online funeral for her, in-game, so that anyone who wished could log in and walk up to her and pay their respects. They held the funeral in Wintersprings (sic). They play on a PVP server. They announced the funeral on forums and chatlines.
Can you guess what happened?
Fayejin of Illidan dies in unfortunate circumstances (or at least internet dies, who knows.) A tribute is planned where people can pay their respects in-game.
Quote: "We will be having it at the Frostfire Hot Springs in Winterspring, because she loved to fish in the game (she liked the sound of the water, it was calming for her ) and she loved snow. If you would like to come show your respects please do. We're planning some cool stuff and we're going to make a video of it to show her family. 🙂 So I would appreciate it if nobody comes to mess things up."
Unfortunately (well, fortunately for us), someone does mess things up: Alliance guild Serenity Now. A long line up of horde, not ready for a fight, it's easy pickings. Red is dead, right?
Quote: "she loved fishing."
"and snow."
"and pvp."
Quotes, cribbed from the video: "Yes, its real easy to be an asshole behind a keyboard and get away with it..Shows just how well shit clings to the asshole …Example: azchira and his band of dingleberries."
"You are added to the to be camped list."
"Congradulations you have stooped lower then any other guild in MMO history."
"Your fucking trash, you are not good enuff to lick the dog shit from a beggers boots you fucking degenrate sorry excuses for mentaly retarded humans."
"I hope azshira's dad dies of a heart attack, then at the funeral some guy runs in naked and pushes the coffin over and runs around slapping people screaming LOL OWNED, then releases a video of it."
"Seriously? Ya know why? Because you and all the rest of SN are real life pieces of shit that have nothing better to do then try to grief ppl as hardcore as possible. Instead of being REAL PVPers and entering BGs, you bitch out and gank lowbies and anally crave opportunities such as this one to make yourselves feel good inside, because IRL, ya'll ain't shit and ya know it."
Serenity Now's final words on the matter: "Sorry for your loss. Yes, we know we are assholes :D"
It has begun!
Sometimes the immature tool on Vent really is 11
I know it's old news (was on Digg and Joystiq last month), but this clip (alternate flashy video link) of Hobbs from Maelstrom is priceless for those in a cave who haven't heard it yet.
"Just to let you know, my regular penis is bigger than your boner.
Just ask your mom, she knows."
"At least I got a mom, unlike your homo dad."

Hello, my name is Amanda.
I am an Artist living in Adelaide, South Australia. I am self taught having attended many courses, workshops and painting holidays over the years in Africa, UK, New Zealand and Australia. I have, with much encouragement from family and friends, reduced my work hours and am now able to spend more time working on my art in my studio at home for which I am very grateful. I like to paint in bright and bold colours, mostly flowers, using quality artist acrylic paints and canvas. All my work is varnished and ready to hang. I like to think my paintings have a feel good factor, a good friend said to me your paintings make me feel happy. It was music to my ears. Hope you enjoy them too.

Chicago Commons
Chicago Commons, known since 1954 as the Chicago Commons Association, is a social service organization and former settlement house in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. Originally located on the near Northwest Side and now headquartered in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood, it serves underresourced communities throughout the city.
For the first six decades of its existence, Chicago Commons was a settlement house patterned on Jane Addams' Hull House, with a group of resident social workers. Throughout this period, it was headed by the Taylor family, father Graham Taylor (head resident 1894-1922) and daughter Lea Demarest Taylor (head resident 1922-1954). Subsequently, it sold its original settlement house and shifted to a more conventional social service model, merging with several other former settlement houses to create a citywide organization.
Chicago Commons settlement house[edit]
The founder of Chicago Commons, Graham Taylor, followed the model of Hull House in his settlement work.[2] Taylor was a professor of "applied Christianity" at the Chicago Theological Seminary.[2] He established the settlement in 1894, in a poor immigrant neighborhood a short distance northwest of downtown, and moved there with his wife and four children in 1895.[1]
In his academic career, Taylor specialized in training for social work, founding the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration in 1903. He had originally envisioned the Chicago Commons as a sort of field laboratory for research and training in social work, but this quickly gave way to a broader conception of the settlement's obligations to the community.[3] The settlement aligned itself with the labor movement, and adopted "industrial and social democracy" as a guiding principle.[4]
The Taylors were soon joined by others, and the settlement boasted 22 adult residents by 1900.[1] They expanded to a five-story building located on Grand Avenue at Morgan Street in 1901.[2] Like Hull House and the Northwestern University Settlement House, the building was designed by noted arts and crafts architects Pond & Pond.[5]
During World War I, the settlement house operated a draft board. Residents worked to keep local immigrants apprised of their draft obligations and induction policies.[5]
In 1922, Graham Taylor was succeeded in the directorship by his eldest daughter, Lea Demarest Taylor, who had been a resident of the settlement since the age of 11.[6] She remained head resident for the remainder of Chicago Commons' existence as a settlement house.
Lea Taylor introduced changes in the programs offered by the settlement house in response to the changing makeup of the neighborhood, as Mexican immigrants arrived in the 1930s and African Americans in the 1940s.[2] During the racial strife of the 1940s, the settlement resisted local calls for segregation, insisting on keeping the settlement's services, including camping and club programs, open to both races.[7]
Chicago Commons Association[edit]
The Chicago Commons Association was formed by merging Emerson House, another settlement located eight blocks to the west,[5] with Chicago Commons to create a citywide service organization, in 1948. The decision was prompted by city plans to build the Kennedy Expressway through the neighborhood it served.[2] The new association changed its approach, establishing community centers but eliminating the residency component which had marked the original settlement houses. The first such centers were established with the proceeds of the sale of the Chicago Commons building on Grand Avenue. The association also changed leadership, with Bill Brueckner succeeding Lea Demarest Taylor.[8]
The association steadily expanded its offerings through the 20th century, opening a center in Bucktown in 1958, and one at the Henry Horner Homes in 1965.[8] It absorbed the Olivet Community Center and University of Chicago Settlement in the late 1960s.[8] Additional centers were opened in Englewood in 1980, New City in 1990, West Humboldt Park in 1990, and Back of the Yards in 2001.[8] Commons moved its administrative offices to Bronzeville in 2012.
The association's services include adult day care and child development services; the latter have since 1993 followed the Reggio Emilia approach.[8]

Where do I begin? It is not easy for me talk about myself when I could be talking about a number of other things, so I guess I will begin with the basics. I have been writing about vehicles since 2010 and joined Autobytel in November 2012. I got my start writing about vehicles almost by accident. I wrote a story on my experience on my first time driving with an instructor only a few days after oral surgery. Let's just say it didn't go as well I had originally thought. I had sent it out to a friend of mine who was an automotive writer and before I knew it, I was offered the chance to start writing for a little automotive blog.
Currently I own a 2006 Ford Fusion SEL with a four-cylinder engine that was passed down from my dad. Previous cars include a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT sedan and a 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo sedan.

23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. 24 The Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?"
25 He answered, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? 26 In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions."
27 Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."
Pray This Week
As you pray this week, ask God to show you what kind of rest He could offer you if you gave him an uninterrupted block of time (half of a day, or more). As you listen to His voice, see if you can schedule into your week that block of time, and ask God to give you the rest only He can provide.

A stripper was a person who would, usually in front of a group, remove their clothes for money.
A stripper named Lucy was intended to pop out of a cake a Rory Williams' stag party on 25 June 2010, but the Eleventh Doctor took her place. He revealed to those present that she was outside in a bikini. (TV: The Vampires of Venice)
A similar tradition existed for hen nights; for Gwen Cooper's in 2009, a male stripper was hired. He ripped off his police uniform to reveal just a pink posing pouch covering his crotch. (TV: Something Borrowed)

Me and my ex had a really rocky break up. We both lied and manipulated each other. For a while he even played back and forth between me and his fiancé begging me to come back and it just stopped recently. (even when they were engage) Ultimately, I know he wants her and he only contacts me when they fight which is the reason I never went back. When they make up he tells me to go away. I try and be mature and told him that we both did wrong (he was more wrong then me for giving me mix signals) and I want to be cool with him. He say that will never happen. I didn't go back (even though I wanted to) because I didn't feel I had 100% of his heart and I wasn't going to be treated like a puppet. I would like to be at least civil but if he is engage and apparently happy why will he not be cool with me?
If my ex is engaged and happy, why does he tell me we will never be cool?

I am just trying to let bigones be bigones. We had both did wrong and in all reality he did so much more. I would think if a person is really happy they would at least be cool with each other. he is civil with all his ex's
- Show AllShow Less
well the fact is they did him wrong way more. they were cheaters and abusers. I really didn't wrong him, I played a little into his stupid games he played with me which I guess can be wrong but he handed me crap so I handed it back which did make things worse even when he was trying to get me to come back when he was fighting with his girlfriend. I just though of at least accepting what had happen and be civil if we ever bump into eachother.
well regardless of that, if he thinks you wronged him, I wouldn't expect him to forgive you just because he's happy.

Investors Push for Kate Spade's Future
It was reported Monday that Kate Spade drove shares at Fifth & Pacific Cos Inc. up 11.5%, which has led investors to overlook the continued weakness in the company's Juicy Couture brand.
Kate Spade carried the firm this year and is expected to do the same next year. Many of the investors are comparing Kate Spade to Michael Kors Holdings Ltd.'s ultrasuccessful 2010 public offering and Tory Burch, which sources say was valued at about $2.5 billion in a recent Private stock sale.
Investors are pushing to free more of Kate Spade's financial potential to keep the upward momentum. William L. McComb, CEO of Fifth & Pacific, said management is open to the idea of a different corporate structure.
"The management team and board of directors of Fifth & Pacific are committed to delivering value to our shareholders," McComb said. "This includes making resource allocation decisions today that support strong long-term growth within our current strategy as well as being thoughtful regarding alternatives to our current multibrand portfolio approach that unlock value."
As for Juicy Couture?
McComb described 2012 as a year of progress tempered by "a miss in North America caused by merchandising and other issues at Juicy Couture that we believe are now being corrected under Paul Blum's direction."

'Arriving in Cambridge on my first day as an undergraduate, I could see nothing except a cold white October mist. At the age of twenty-four I was a complete failure, with nothing to show for my life except a few poems nobody wanted to publish in book form.'
Falling Toward England – the second volume of Clive James's Unreliable Memoirs – was meant to be the last. Thankfully, that's not the case. In Unrelaible Memoirs III, Clive details his time at Cambridge, including film reviewing, writing poetry, falling in love (often), and marrying (once).
'Every line is propelled by a firecracker witticism' London Review of Books
'He turns phrases, mixes together cleverness and clownishness, and achieves a fluency and a level of wit that make his pages truly shimmer... May Week Was In June is vintage James' Financial Times
About the Author
Clive James is the author of more than thirty books. As well as his memoirs, he has published essays, literary and television criticism, travel writing, verse and novels. As a television performer he has appeared regularly for both the BBC and ITV, most notably as writer and presenter of the Postcard series of travel documentaries. He helped to found the independent television production company Watchmaker and the Internet enterprise Welcome Stranger, one of whose offshoots is a multimedia personal website, www.clivejames.com. In 1992 he was made a Member of the Order of Australia and in 2003 he was awarded the Philip Hodgins memorial medal for literature.

Comments about May Week Was in June:
I am a fervent fan of Clive James and wanted to complete the reading of his memoirs. This one disappointed me. Repetitive even though well written. Perhaps because it revealed a rather unpleasant side of the writer I did not enjoy it as much as his other work but it will not stop me purchasing the rest of his memoir series. His poetry is superb and his later writings are much better to my mind.
Pembroke College, Cambridge offered a way out of the swinging London scene of the sixties. And Clive James made the most of all the extra curricular opportunities that came his way: Footlights, poetry, film reviews, and falling in love (often). He also became Literary Editor of Granta and wrote for New Statesman. A truly original wit and humour here applied to himself (and everything else within reach). (Kirkus UK)

It's not unusual for kids to tune out their parents or teachers once in a while. But if you have to keep repeating instructions and your child still doesn't get them, it could be a sign of a listening comprehension issue. Auditory processing disorder (APD) is a common cause of these problems, but there are others. Learn more about listening comprehension issues and how you can help.
Kids with listening comprehension issues don't have hearing problems. The trouble lies with how their brain processes the sounds they hear. The signs can look different depending on what's causing them and how old the child is. A preschooler may have a hard time learning songs or nursery rhymes. A middle-schooler may struggle to follow conversations.
If your child has issues with listening comprehension you may hear "Huh?" or "What?" more than most parents. If she doesn't do what you asked her to, it may be because she can't remember what you said. Or she may just not be able follow up on it. Kids with listening issues can also be easily distracted. This can cause trouble with learning.
Here are some common signs of listening comprehension issues:
A common cause of listening comprehension issues is auditory processing disorder. But there are other learning and attention issues that also can make it hard to understand what people are saying. Learn more about the conditions that can cause issues with listening.
Auditory processing disorder: Kids who have this brain-based condition don't always hear subtle differences in sounds. If they're someplace with a lot of background noise, including classrooms, the challenge can be even greater. Kids with APD often ask teachers to repeat instructions. This can make it seem as if they're not paying attention.
While APD is mainly a listening issue, it can also affect speech. Some kids may not speak clearly, dropping word endings and syllables that aren't emphasized. APD is not something kids outgrow. But there are strategies and techniques that can help build listening skills both at home and at school.
There are other conditions besides APD that can make it hard for a child to follow what people are saying. While some of the symptoms may be similar, the reasons for them are different. Here's what else might be causing your child's listening comprehension issues:
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): This brain-based condition is a common suspect when a child can't seem to listen. ADHD makes it hard to focus and control impulses. Some kids also have hyperactivity as a symptom and are constantly moving. Kids with ADHD can appear to be tuned out.
The truth is that kids with ADHD are often listening, but not understanding what they hear. They may understand facts, but not things that aren't spelled out. Many kids with attention issues also have poor working memory skills. That makes it hard to hold on to what people say long enough to do something with the information.
Kids with ADHD can have other challenges that get in the way of making conversation. These include difficulty with taking turns or holding on to a train of thought. To the person on the other end, it may seem as if they're just not listening.
Social (pragmatic) communication disorder (SCD): This is a newly defined condition that used to be known as pragmatic language impairment and semantic pragmatic disorder. Kids with SCD often interrupt people and don't listen when they're talking. But it's not because they're being rude. It's because they have trouble with the social rules of language.
Kids with SCD may have trouble understanding what people are saying. That's especially true if they have to figure out the context or tone. They may also not know how to start a conversation or keep one going.
Dyslexia: This learning issue mainly causes problems with reading. Children with dyslexia may mix up the order of letters and skip over small words while reading. But there's a link between dyslexia and auditory weaknesses. That combination can cause listening comprehension issues in some kids.
As a parent, you may be the first to notice your child's listening comprehension issues. Even if your child's teacher or doctor tells you there's no need to worry, it's a good idea to get an evaluation. Early treatment may keep your child from having long-term learning and social struggles. Here are some steps you can take to find out what's causing your child's listening issues.
If your child is under age 3, you can contact your state's early intervention system. You may be able to get a free evaluation without a referral.
Even if you don't know what is causing your child's issues with listening comprehension, there are ways you can help her improve her skills. And you can also take steps to make the journey easier for both of you. Here are some suggestions.
Your child's issues with listening comprehension won't disappear. But her ability to handle the challenges can grow. You can help her improve her self-esteem and develop the skills she needs to succeed.

Saloni Mira Rai, a program manager on the Internet Explorer 8 Layout team provides a walk through of the changes in Zoom for Internet Explorer 8:
Zoom lets you enlarge or reduce the view of a web page to improve readability. The feature is particularly useful on really large and really small displays, allowing for scaling of content while maintaining the intended layout of the page. The second iteration of the zoom feature (first shipped in Internet Explorer 7) focuses on improving the existing experience by providing a higher quality, more predictable, and persistent zooming experience.
What You Can Expect
As you zoom, IE8 will size the text and images and reflow the page to make it easier to read. You will not see a horizontal scrollbar for most mainstream scenarios. It's easier to show than explain, so here's an example:
Zooming the IE Blog to 150% in IE7 looked like this:
Notice that text moves off the screen and a horizontal scrollbar appears at the bottom of the screen.

Low Carb Chicken 'Noodle' Soup will fill you up + keep you warm all winter long! This is the perfect healthy, paleo friendly dinner to make tonight!
I've been counting down the days until winter will be over basically since the day it started. I hate… and I mean REALLY hate the cold. I'd take 110 degree summer days over the cold and snow any day. Unlike in the summer where you can get a tan, or jump in a pool + enjoy the heat… there really is no escaping the cold. Unless you hide under a bunch blankets and watch Netflix all day (Not like I'm speaking from experience or anything. We totally didn't do this the past two weekends…)
The only thing that can really help you escape the cold is a giant bowl of soup. For me – soup is the ultimate comfort food. In addition to actually being comforting in that it warms you up when it's freezing out, the taste of it brings back memories as a kid. My mom + all of my grandparents make really delicious soups that I used to love eating when I was little.
I learned a lot of my cooking skills by watching other people make things, but any time I asked someone how they made soup, they always gave me round about answer that usually went something like this: 'Oh.. well.. you know… you just throw this this and this in a pot, add the water, boil, strain, and then that's really it." After hearing that answer a few times, I figured it sounded pretty easy to do, so I might as well just give it a shot.
Turns out it really IS that easy! I've followed the dump everything in a pot + hope for the best method and I can honestly say that I've never been disappointed by it! I made this Chicken 'Noodle' Soup years ago when Tyler was sick, and it quickly became one of our favorite meals. Whether you're not feeling your best, or you're freezing, or just looking for a tasty new winter dinner – this is the recipe for you.
Things we used for this recipe: spiralizer, stock pot, bay leaves, sea salt, pepper
Now I know you might be skeptical about there not being any real noodles in this Chicken Noodle Soup.. but I promise you won't miss them. Using my spiralizer to make little zucchini noodles was probably one of the best ideas I ever had. It keeps this dinner low carb, paleo & whole30 friendly, and packs it with extra veggies!! If you still haven't converted your family into zoodle lovers, you could always add in pasta. I like this brand of noodles or this whole wheat orzo.

Federal Opposition leader Bill Shorten will tell NSW Labor it has to "rebuild as a party of members, not factions" in a push to reduce the influence of unions.
Mr Shorten's call for a broader party comes a day after the NSW Labor conference defeated a bid to give Labor's rank and file members a direct role in selecting upper house candidates because it would reduce union power.
Mr Shorten will tell the NSW Labor conference on Sunday he wants a party "where your membership card entitles you to genuine participation in our party; in the choice of our leaders, our policies and our future direction".
He will say NSW Labor had set the direction but now needed to complete the job. In April, Mr Shorten called for compulsory union membership to be dropped as a prerequisite for joining Labor.
The NSW conference on Saturday voted to allow the direct election of the NSW party leader for the first time since 1939, following the success of federal Labor. After the March 2015 poll, NSW Labor members will have an equal say with caucus in selecting the leader.
Senator John Faulkner had championed a failed bid to break the "farcical system" of selecting upper house candidates, which he said had delivered Eddie Obeid, declared corrupt by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, to the NSW parliament.
Mr Faulkner argued thousands more union members would have a vote under a direct election system, rather than a small number of powerful union secretaries.
NSW legislative council member Luke Foley also backed the move away from factional selection, saying it was "pro-unionist" to give union members who are Labor members a direct vote.
But NSW Labor's right-wing general secretary Jamie Clements opposed it, saying Mr Obeid "did not have the backing or support of any trade union – he was an ethnic branch stacker with wealth".
The challenge of how to scrub off the stain of corruption was the dominant theme at the meeting at Sydney's Town Hall.
NSW Opposition leader John Robertson delivered a rallying call to NSW Labor ahead of the 2015 election. Highlighting a fight for jobs and training next March, he unveiled a policy imposing a ratio of 15 per cent of jobs on major government construction projects to be filled by apprentices, trainees and the long-term unemployed.
Labor ministers, staff and departments would also be banned from meeting with third-party lobbyists, Mr Robertson said.
He repeated his call for Mike Baird to pass legislation to allow full public funding of elections, to make 2015 the "cleanest ever".
Deputy Opposition leader Linda Burney said the direct election of the state leader would be an important step in fixing NSW Labor's reputation.
"We have to not only regain the trust and respect of our members but regain trust and respect across the community," Ms Burney said.

- It was great to see my parents over the weekend! My mom helped me with some flower planting outside, as well as a couple of arrangements inside. She's got a great eye for that kind of thing, and hopefully I benefit from her green thumb, too. It was sunny & hot all weekend long... great pool weather!
- Currently craving: pan pizza.
- New 28 week pregnancy vlog coming soon!
- I am in love with the light fixture in my makeup room.
- We closed on our old house! The couple who's buying it seems really nice. And the lady said she was familiar with my videos so she knew what she was getting into with the pink room!! :)

Just In: Coastal Scents Revealed 2 Palette!
49 comments:
that looks like a fab palette. Love the shades.ReplyDelete
So wonderful! The pallet looks great! I love tht new light of yours too! So happy someone who knows you is getting the pink room!ReplyDelete
I have been waiting for this post. I would definitely be interested in seeing a tutorial on this palette.ReplyDelete
I've been awaiting this post as well :). Your review on the original Revealed completely sold me on it, and I haven't regretted it. I got my Revealed 2 maybe a week and a half ago??? Right when it came out, they were offering it for HALF PRICE, so I got that bad boy for $10, plus shipping, woot! I've been wearing it every day. It's so darn pretty, for every day and dramatic looks. I'm totally in love with this one, just as I am with the first Revealed palette. Bring on the full review, dear!ReplyDelete
Please do a full review with dupes and also maybe a few different looks. It would be great to see maybe office, daytime and nighttime looks or something along those lines. You always do the best reviews!ReplyDelete
Cannot wait to see the review ... the color payout looks wonderful - I may have to purchase once I see how you like it after utilizing the palette for a whileReplyDelete
I just may have to investigate these Coastal Scents pallet's- this one especially! I would love to see some tutorials for both every day and dramatic looks. So happy that you are getting settled and doing some blogging- I missed that! Thanks for the review; I look forward to some video tutorials soon.ReplyDelete
Are these all new shades or are they in the 252 or other large palettes? My daughter is getting into makeup and I want to get her something that is decent quality at a good price. These colors are so pretty, would love for them to be found in the big ones so I could get her more variety.ReplyDelete

The lamp reminds me of nail tips! I think I posted that on Twitter. Good luck in your new home.ReplyDelete
What a gorgeous look! Those tones flatter your eyes perfectly. I recently bought my first-ever Coastal Scents palette (their 10 blush palette) and am loving it! I'm so craving both of the Revealed palettes too :)ReplyDelete
Bought this palette when it launched for $9.95 and im lovin it :) soo happy that i dont have to an extra $35 just for an urban decay palette when i can get the dupe palette cant wait to get my hands on the 1st revealed palette :DReplyDelete
Oh god, I want THIS palette SO MUCH !!!!ReplyDelete
Can you do a video of your favorite cosmetics names?ReplyDelete
This palette looks great, but for me, I'll pass. I don't see anything terribly original about the shades to warrant the purchase.ReplyDelete
woohoo!!! Ordered this with birchbox points last night! I am so excited because I love the first palette and despite the hype, when I actually looked at the naked palettes in store, the individual eyeshadow colors and finishes never really appealed to me. I also have the coastal scents 252 palette and I have no complaints. Phenomenal quality across the board, just not very travel friendly of course.ReplyDelete
It looks amazing! Especially the pink shades :)ReplyDelete
I've never purchased Coastal Scents, although drugstore brands are my favorites. I followed your link to the first Revealed pallet, and that looks like something I'd like. Definitely going to have to try out this brand!ReplyDelete
I'm happy the pink room went to someone who seems to appreciate it! Haha!ReplyDelete
I have both and love them. I don't miss the glitter either. Being 47 means I don't want it settling where it shouldn't. I can't wait to play in these.ReplyDelete
What foundation are you wearing. Your skin looks flawless. You've got that pregnant glow as well.ReplyDelete

This look is SO pretty on you Emily!! I have the revealed palette ( and UD naked1) but was wondering how this stacks up. I was pretty impressed with their original revealed palette. thanks for the review:)ReplyDelete
Woah! Tbh i only know coastal scents for their 88 palettes, I didn't know they do dupes of the naked palettes. These colours look so girly and pretty +.+ I really love how you mixed them togethed created a romantic look. I'm so tempted to buy this now!ReplyDelete
Wish you the best of luck with your pregnacy! My sis is pregnant as well and the whole journey is just so exciting :3
Could you do a comparison post with the LORAC Unzipped palette as well? :) I love this look on you, Emily!ReplyDelete
I love this palette! I've used it almost every day since I got it weeks ago when they first offered it for $9.95. I'm loving how blendable the shadows are. As I was using it today I was wondering whether you had it yet or not. I'd love to see some tutorials with this palette. Your skin looks perfect in these pics. Are you doing something different with your skin care or could it be prenatal vitamins? I could tell a difference with my skin/hair when I took them many years ago when I was pregnant with my son. I love your light fixture too. Glad you closed on your old house.ReplyDelete
I am sooo going to get this palette. I love the pinks and roses in it.. Thank you for all the work and fun you put into your blog and youtube channel. I am a follower of both. Thank you againReplyDelete
I would love to see a tutorial on some looks from this palet. I have played with it and find it is easy to get too rosy and almost look like I have been crying....your ideas would he helpful!!ReplyDelete
Your skin looks amazing!!! Flawless!!ReplyDelete
I can't wait to try this palette. I've never tried anything from Coastal Scents, so I must give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
This palette looks amazing! Thanks for the review Emily :) xxReplyDelete
That's so cool about the lady knowing about your videos. :) I am glad to hear everything is going well for you, Tyler and Cupcake.:)ReplyDelete

Looking at celebrity culture only as something negative misses much of its significance. There's definitely something hot about celebrities.ReplyDelete

I bought this palette when it first released at $9.95 and so glad I did! Would love to see a tutorial on these from you!ReplyDelete
That palette looks beautiful.... but I'm on a "makeup no buy" :( Definitely going on my wishlist! Beautiful looks as always!ReplyDelete
I would love tutorials! On the revealed 1 palette as well 😍ReplyDelete
Great palette. I think I need to buy it after this post :D. Love you Emily, you´re such a nice person and your blog is AWESOME. Such as your vids, I watch them all :).ReplyDelete
So pretty! I've been following your blog and YouTube channel for a few years now and the above picture has me questioning something and please don't take this the wrong way. Either you've got your skin/makeup absolutely flawless or photoshop was involved. Just curious. Keep up with the great work and congrats on the baby and new house, so many exciting things to come!ReplyDelete
the pink shades are just perfect!ReplyDelete
OOOOH. I want! I have the Naked 3 but this looks like I would actually like it more, as I wasn't too impressed with the Naked 3 and this has more colour options.ReplyDelete
OMG lovely eye make up !!!!ReplyDelete
