Not only did Anne Hathaway take home Oscar gold, she also wowed on the red carpet receiving comparisons to Audrey Hepburn!
I loved Anne's feminine makeup and pixie 'do. Here's how you can recreate her look…
WHO: Chanel Celebrity Makeup Artist Kate Lee
INSPIRATION: My inspiration for Annie's look came from the color of the beautiful delicate pink dress. Annie looked instantly statuesque the moment she put it on and I felt that this dress was worthy of some classical "Movie Star Beauty". No tricks, just attention to detail, timeless beauty and glamour.
SKINCARE: Great long wearing foundation begins with proper skincare. Annie's skin was given a good dose of hydration with CHANEL Hydra Beauty Serum, followed by Laura Mercier Hydrating Foundation Primer.
FOUNDATION: I wanted to make sure that we still saw the quality and texture of Annie's skin but make sure that the velvety finish would stay put throughout. I used a combination of CHANEL Vitalumière Aqua Ultra--ââ¬Â Light Skin PerfecRng Sunscreen Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 to make the skin uniform and add luminosity. Then I used just a little CHANEL Perfection Lumière Long--ââ¬ÂWear Flawless Fluid Sunscreen Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 only where needed. The cheekbones, jaw line, bridge of nose and crest of upper lip were highlighted using Make Up Forever UpLight. To complement the highlighting and to carve out the cheekbones, I used Illamasqua Cream Color Pigment in Hollow. Once I had my perfect canvas, I set everything in place with Cle De Peau translucent loose powder.
BLUSH: The cheeks were mainly sculpted during the application of the base, highlighter and shading color, but to finish the look and add a little flush I lightly dusted just the apples of her cheeks with CHANEL Powder Blush in Star Dust.
EYE SHADOW: I started by priming the lid with Laura Mercier's Eye Canvas to help keep the shadow in place. The eyes were a beautiful lilac grey shadow blended into a soft almond shape that followed Annie's socket line. I then traced a black line across the outer two thirds on the lash line and tapered it into a gentle tick.
MASCARA: I always use waterproof mascara for awards ceremonies, especially when my client is a nominee! I curled the lashes and applied one generous coat of CHANEL Inimitable Waterproof Mascara in Noir from root to tip, top and bottom. Waterproof mascara generally dries faster and helps hold in the curl. I custom-made the lashes to fit Annie's eye shape and to finish the look.
EYEBROWS: I took my time sculpting the shape. The brows were combed into shape and intensified by using Anastasia's Brow Wiz Pencil in Brunette, which I then blended using a stiff angled brush. Once I had the shape I wanted, I added a coat of Anastasia's Brow Gel to hold them in shape.
LIPS: Annie has full and perfectly balanced lips. I wanted to avoid matching the lips to the dress so I chose a shade slightly more intense and then blended it down till I got just the right shade. The lip color was CHANEL Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour in Sèduisante with just a dab of concealer mixed in to make it one shade lighter. I sent her on her way with a powder puff and her lip color.
WHO: Fekkai stylist Adir Abergel,
INSPIRATION: Adir was inspired by the clean lines of Anne's Prada gown and 1950s glamour.
THE LOOK: Simple, beautiful texture inspired by 1950s elegance
Begin by applying Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel from roots to ends to maximize volume in short hair
Blow dry hair using fingers to create additional lift and bring out hair's natural texture
Once hair is completely dry create separation using a dime size amount of Fekkai Coiff Nonchalant Piecing & Forming Wax
Finish the look by tucking the sides behind your ears and using Fekkai Coiff Sheer Hold Hairspray for the perfect all night hold.

Do you, like us, live somewhere other than Southern California? Then now's the time to take advantage of all those spooky-cheap cross-country airfares, because Los Angeles Art Weekend is back. After a wildly successful launch year, L.A. Art Weekend's 2009 incarnation kicks off Thursday with an impressive line-up of special events, public programs, and exhibitions that allow you to experience the best of L.A. art, architecture, design, and film communities in one action-packed four-day weekend.
Where to begin? On Thursday evening, artist Kehinde Wiley will be speaking at the Getty Center, perhaps providing insight into why the world can't resist his Old Masters-meets-hoodie sweatshirts approach. Alternatively, as if you needed another reason to visit the local Taschen emporium, fashion designer and documentary subject Valentino will be on hand to sign copies of his new book Valentino: A Grand Italian Epic (should you need to make small talk, focus on pugs rather than our friend Alessandra Facchinetti, recently deposed designer at the house of V). The fun continues well into the night with an L.A. Art Weekend kickoff bash at the Hollywood Standard (watch out for chlorine clouds!) featuring a Mike Mills book signing and a post-Punk soundtrack by DJ Michael Stock of Part Time Punks fame. And that's just Thursday. Click here for the full schedule. And remember, whoever consumes the most culture wins.

In this groundbreaking new biography, based on more than 10,000 hitherto unavailable letters and diary entries, best-selling author Niall Ferguson returns to his roots as a financial historian to tell the story of Siegmund Warburg, an extraordinary man whose austere philosophy of finance offers much insight today.
A refugee from Hitler's Germany, Warburg rose to become the dominant figure in the postwar City of London and one of the architects of European financial integration. Seared by the near collapse and then "Aryanization" of his family's long-established bank in the 1930s, and then frustrated by the stagnation of its Wall Street sister, Kuhn Loeb, in the 1950s, Warburg resolved that his own firm of S. G. Warburg (founded in 1946) would be different. An obsessive perfectionist with an aversion to excessive risk, Warburg came to embody the ideals of the haute banque - high finance - always eschewing the fast buck in favor of gilt-edged advice. He was not only the master of the modern merger and founder of the eurobond; he was also a key behind-the-scenes adviser to governments in London, Tokyo, and Jerusalem - to his critics, a "financial Rasputin".
©2010 Niall Ferguson (P)2010 Tantor
"Ferguson has written a most engrossing and edifying tale of high finance.... Highly recommended." (Library Journal)
"A gem, if you are interested in these topics"
By "these topics" I mean mid-20th century Europe (including UK), the related financial history, merchant banking, and the actions and plight of German Jews in those settings. I not only have these interests in abundance, but also benefitted in having just finished "The Warburgs" by Ron Chernow. That book, which tells the saga of the whole sprawling family from the 1800s into the 1990s, across Europe and the USA, but in a less strictly finance-centric way, gave a perfect backdrop and introduction to the times and characters.
It was Siegmund I best related to, for better or worse, as I am a similarly dour, restrained intellectual type. Yet he came vividly alive in the crossing of boundaries, internationally and in banking business, and the bold creativity of his buildup of his own establishment, alongside the more staid doings of his continental and US relatives. He flowed across borders with the facility and liquidity of the namesake of one of his trading arms, Mercury (from whose name the word "commerce" also comes). (Digging further into this type of personality can be done in Jean Shinoda Bolen's "Gods in Everyman," relating to the Hermes-Mercury character.) And, fittingly, Siegmund could be rather ethically limber, for example, willing to deal in Germany postwar and with Germans some of his relatives considered objectionable. He was a very driven man, very limited in other departments of his life, as in his very disciplined marriage; he had to show the world and his doubting family members (in the rivalrous Hamburg branch of the family) his importance. And he did, aplenty: he was a great shaper of postwar finance on that side of the Atlantic. Author Niall Ferguson shows all this with a graceful precision, digging into deals and details at a level Mr. Chernow (for all the quality of his book) did not. Mr. Ferguson's bigger tomes are right at the sweet spot for my interests: he has precision and thoroughness delivered in that crackling English prose I so love. And the narrator is spot on for the job too: ideally British but shifting into convincing German accents to highlight other speakers' own words. Bravo!

I'm due in either late December or early January. I am thinking about a birthing center birth, instead of a hospital birth. Do any of you have any experience with a birthing center birth? What is expected?
Call the one you're thinking of having your LO at and they will do a tour and answer all of your questions. I had DD in a birthing center. I loved it. This baby, I'll be having him in a hospital since I moved. I wish I could have him in the same place as DD. The birthing center was amazing!
have had all three of my kids in a free standing birthing center and loved all three births. Its much more relaxed. Call and get a tour and meet all the midwives at the center. Ask them about there policies and just generally what they do for the moms during and after the baby is born. At my birth center its run out of a space attached to my attached to my midwives home so there's only one room to birth in. So I had to talk to my midwife about what would happen if there was someone else in labor at the same time as I was . Ask about the different birthing options they have like the birthing ball, stool, or tub and ask about how they plan on supporting you during your labor. Just be open with them. I loved my birthing center it was very relaxing.
Thanks, lol.

PORT-SAINT-PERE, France, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- Dolphins are sensitive to the presence of magnets, say researchers in France. It's the first study to definitively prove that dolphins are magnetosensitive, or magnetoreceptive.
Marine biologists at Universite de Rennes and Institut Universitaire de France exposed dolphins at the Planete Sauvage ("Wild Planet") dolphinarium, in Port-Saint-Pere, France, to a series of magnetized objects. They found dolphins swam more aggressively towards semi-submerged barrels emitting a magnetic field. Identical demagnetized barrels served as controls.
Though clearly excited by the magnetic signal, the six observed bottlenose dolphins were found to interact in equal amounts with both the magnetized and magnetized barrels, suggesting the dolphins may not be attracted the magnet signal so much as intrigued by it.
Dolphins primarily rely on echolocation to navigate the seas and to locate other animals, whether friends, enemies or prey. Scientists have surmised that dolphins also possess the ability to perceive magnetic fields. But hard evidence of such proved difficult to come by -- until now.
"Dolphins are able to discriminate between objects based on their magnetic properties, which is a prerequisite for magnetoreception-based navigation," confirmed Dorothee Kremers, who along with her colleagues at the Ethos unit of the Université de Rennes authored the recent study. "Our results provide new, experimentally obtained evidence that cetaceans have a magnetic sense, and should therefore be added to the list of magnetosensitive species."
The study was published this week in the journal Naturwissenschaften, The Science of Nature.

After receiving large number of complaints about Delhi University's (DUs) inability to implement the reservation provisions prescribed by the law, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has asked the university to make sure that the colleges abide by the reservation provisions.
The ministry asked the university to give reservations based on the real intake capacity rather than approved class strength and to release 3 cut-off lists so that OBC quota seats are filled.
This came in the wake of a complaint filed by the Insight Group, consisting of 8 student organizations, which includes Democratic Students Union, All India backward Students Forum, AISA.
Presently, students are enrolled through lists prepared by using a cut-off mark. As the first cut-off list is usually high, students register for many courses, and then colleges issue second and third lists with lesser cut-off so that all the seats are filled. This practice tends colleges to admit more students than their permitted capacity as they cannot refuse admission to a candidate with a qualifying cut-off. These students generally belong to general category students. Centralized admission process is used to admit students of Scheduled castes and tribes. Under centralized admission process, the number of seats for Scheduled Castes quota-15% and Scheduled Tribes -7.5% is planned on the basis of allowed strength. So if the real intake is more than the approved strength, the number of reserved quota seats should raise automatically, but this does take place actually.
The students' organization insisted that as per RTI, the real intake was more than about 30% of the approved strength. However, the colleges and the university were not allowing reserved category students in this extra intake, thus violating the reservation policies.
They have also stressed that all initiatives must be taken to ensure that 27% seats reserved for OBCs is filled by OBC category students only. Earlier complaints were received that OBC category seats have been filled by general category students. The Supreme Court had passed an order stating that if all efforts have been made to fill the OBC quota seats, then only they can be diverted to general category. The MHRD has asked DU to undertake 3 more cut-off lists or rounds to ensure that OBC quota seats are filled. Many colleges released 3 to 4 lists with lower cut-offs to ensure that all the OBC seats are filled. These cut-offs are analytical for general category admissions. So to resolve this, the ministry has suggested the university to issue 3 more lists with an aim to enroll OBC students.
The ministry also mentioned that the difference of 10% marks between the OBC and general category was not in terms of selection but eligibility criteria. The DU has been alleged of setting a 10% less cut-off for OBC than general category student. Due to high cut-offs, OBC students fail to get through.

Imagine you're in an experiment, and staring at an array of women's faces—half are beautiful models, half are average looking women. You are wearing a magnetic headband that allows the researchers to carefully track the position of your head. There is a tiny robotic device under the screen that bounces a minute laser beam off your pupil, enabling the computer to carefully track every one of your eye movements.
A little while later, you are shown the same photographs, and asked a very simple question: Did you see this person before? Some of the findings are unsurprising—men spend more time staring at the beauties than at the average-looking women, and men better remember those beauties later. Women are also inclined to stare at beautiful women, and consequently to remember those beautiful women later. In fact, even if the researchers correct for the amount of time spent looking at beautiful women, they are still remembered better than you'd otherwise expect. In other words, there is an extra "memory bang for the attentional buck" for beautiful women—more memory per second of glancing.
Something strange happens with handsome men, though. Women are more likely to stare at guys who look like George Clooney or Robert Pattison, whilst visually ignoring those everyday Joe Schmoes like most of the rest of us (well, maybe not you or your husband, but I'll speak for myself—when I walk through a shopping mall with my much handsomer son, women peer right past me to look at him [he also does a blog for Psych Today, you can click here to compare our photos and verify that I'm not demonstrating either parental bias or unjustified humility]). Again, no particular surprise there—women are like men in spending more time looking at attractive members of the opposite sex. We didn't need a government grant and an expensive eye-tracker to "discover" that. The surprise comes a few minutes later, when my colleagues and I try to assess memory for the handsome men. Despite the substantial amount of visual attention that women bestow on handsome men, the women are now unable to distinguish the handsome guys they saw from those they'd never seen (for more detailed information on this research, see Maner et al., 2003, and Kenrick, et al., 2007, below).
Approaching the problem from another direction, my colleague Vaughn Becker and his colleagues ask people to play a version of the old Concentration Game (sometimes called the Memory Game). Becker had students play the game with arrays of facial photographs. In one version of the game, people see an array of faces for 4 seconds. Then the photos are all turned over, and the students' task is to match those that contained the same face. On the very first trial, women do well at matching handsome men—suggesting that those men were noticed in the crowd. Over trials, though, any advantage for handsome men completely disappears, suggesting that those men did not make it into long-term memory. It is as if women process handsome men very briefly, and then promptly erase those handsome faces from downstream processing.
In other words, handsome men get a negative memory bang for the attentional buck. When men look at arrays of men, incidentally, they do not look at handsome men any more than average looking men (nor do they remember them especially well).
What do handsome faces and disfigured faces have in common?
There's another case of a negative memory bang for the attentional buck, recently reported in a series of studies by MIT's Josh Ackerman (along with ASU's Chad Mortensen, Taka Sasaki, Vaughn Becker, Steve Neuberg and I). We found the same disjunction for another category of people—those with facial disfigurements. When people are concerned about disease, they stare at disfigured faces, but do not remember them later.
Why are handsome men and people with disfigured facial markings looked at, but not remembered? This is still something of a mystery. We suspect that the motivations are somewhat different. Justin Park (now at the University of Bristol) and UBC's Jason Faulkner and Mark Schaller have demonstrated that facial disfigurements are heuristically associated with disease, so when people concerned about disease stare at disfigured faces it probably reflects an avoidance motive. As I've discussed in an earlier posting, disease-concerned people are not motivated to approach others (especially others who might carry diseases). Since the facial disfigurements will still be there later, there is no need to devote cognitive resources to remembering the disfigured individual.
It's probably a different story for handsome men. Given that handsome men are preferred as mates, particularly for short-term relationships, women staring at handsome men might simply be sending a flirtation message. If the man doesn't follow up by introducing himself, though, no further mental resources need be wasted. Stay tuned and I'll tell you about a more recent study that examines what happens to women's attention and memory for handsome men when they are ovulating (the women, not the men—the latter group may be, from a functional perspective, always ovulating).
Are there times when we look away from certain people and later remember them better? Yes, and maybe you can guess when and for whom there is a positive memory bang for the attentional buck. Again, stay tuned for more findings on these curious mental disjunctions.

|A true Victoria Sandwich would only contain jam, usually raspberry, but as the cake became more popular and cooks became more affluent, cream was added as a delicious addition. I was always taught that caster sugar was sprinkled on top – again, icing sugar is often used nowadays.
|Submitted by
Your note
Please note: only the ingredient list has been updated, you will need to allow for different cooking times, temperatures and quantities in each step.
- 4 large eggs (weighed in their shells)
- butter (or soft margarine ~ same weight as the eggs)
- caster sugar (or super fine sugar ~ same weight as the eggs)
- self-raising flour (same weight as the eggs)
- raspberry jam (or another jam, jelly or curd of your choice)
- caster sugar (or icing sugar for sprinkling on top)
- whipped cream (or double cream)
Step 1
The measurements for this recipe are equal amounts of sugar, flour and fat to the weight of the eggs; therefore, weigh the eggs first – if the eggs weigh 8 ounces, you will use 8 ounces of sugar, 8 ounces of butter or margarine and 8 ounces of flour. If the eggs weigh 6 ounces, all the other ingredients will be 6 ounces – easy!
Step 2
Preheat oven Gas 4, 160C (fan oven), 180C or 360F: grease and base line the bottom of 2 x 20cm (8") sandwich tins – cake tins.
Step 3
Cream margarine or butter together with the sugar, until light and fluffy.
Beat the eggs, and then add them to the mixture, gradually and beating well after each addition.
Sieve the flour and fold into the mixture with a metal spoon.
Step 4
Divide equally between the 2 prepared tins and bake for 25 minutes in the middle of the oven.
Step 5
Remove and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes.
Remove from the tins and fill with raspberry jam (and cream if using) when cold, to avoid the cream melting or the jam seeping into the sponge.
Step 6
A light dusting of caster sugar or icing sugar on the top will finish it.
Place on an attractive cake stand or plate, and serve in dainty wedges with freshly brewed tea.

A University of California, Los Angeles, medical oversight board announced Tuesday that university researcher John Fahey broke federal rules and university policy for the protection of human research subjects when he participated in a controversial study in China that deliberately infects people with malaria in an attempt to control HIV infection, the Los Angeles Times reports. The study was spearheaded by Henry Heimlich, the inventor of the famous antichoking maneuver, who announced this week that he will soon conduct a similar study in five African nations. The review board said that while the microbiology professor did not participate directly in the research, he did evaluate study data and biological samples, which violated the protection measures.
The study in question is examining whether the high fevers associated with malaria boost immune responses to HIV in the body. Most researchers, including officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, oppose Heimlich's studies because of the risks of deliberately infecting people with malaria. Fahey said that he "regrets the misunderstanding this matter has caused." Heimlich said that he was "not aware if Fahey followed the proper procedure" in his research, adding that the current controversy "is between Dr. Fahey and UCLA." A second UCLA researcher, Najib Aziz, who was also investigated, was cleared of any wrongdoing by the UCLA board.

1989 Ford F-150 Lighting
Hey guys, i was searching the forums on lighting and guage clusters etc but i wanted to ask my own questions. Im currently chasing an electrical short that has gotten to the point to where my whol dash is off right now. Since im this far into it i was thinking about changing out my dash lights. I wanted to go for a black/red theme. I want my dash lights to be red. I dont really want any white cluster over lays but just red lights maybe an all black cluster? Its hard for me to find anything for a 1989 for some reason and i have been lookin for awhile now. I need to know where is the best place to get my red lightbulb replacements? what should i replace and what shouldnt i? some people said not to replace the turning signals because they are usually too bright etc so that is just opinion that im askin for i guess. There seems to be a lot more mods for 70's fords than the 80's i was also gonna ask about if anyone knew of any halo projector head lights for my year of truck? Hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction =) Thanks for your time!
I thought it said Lightning. :D
There is no aftermarket support for '87-'91, as far as appearance items go.
Ha me too! :)
Haha so nothing like LEDs or anything are available for 89's?
I know one guy took LED strips and just stuck them on the cluster and around the gauges. I dont know how it turned out though. I was going to put blue lights in my gauge cluster on my 95, but I guess I have to remove the green tint otherwise the blue lights will still look green
Take a bulb out and take it to your auto parts store, see what they can come up with.

HE'S still learning how to play fullback but the "Titanium Man" David Mead has already convinced Titans fans he is a No.1.
PNG-born Mead has been playing at fullback for the Titans in the absence of the injured William Zillman and has been starring.
He saved a couple of tries and scored one 100m four-pointer as the Titans came from 0-8 down to beat the Broncos at Cbus Super Stadium last Friday night.
Mead has enough metal _ five titanium plates and 20 screws _ in his jaw to set off an airport metal detector from a suburb away
The metal is there after operations to repair a broken jaw three times in his career.
Titans fans were quick to reward Mead with a nine of 10 in The Courier-Mail's Queensland Fans Favourite survey, which we are running all season.
Thirty-four per cent of respondent rated Mead a nine and another 23 per cent awarded him an eight while one in five fans went a step further, ranking him a perfect 10.
Titans co-captains Nate Myles and Greg Bird continue to lead the way, with each being rated eight our of 10 by fans. In Myles's case, 34 per cent of fans ticked eight while 28 per cent went that way for Bird (another 24 per cent rated him a nine).
Broncos fans preferred to concentrate on the positives from the Robina performance, rating the entire front row of Josh McGuire (32 per cent), Andrew McCullough (30) and Corey Parker (30) as well as halfback Ben Hunt (34) eights.
The fans weren't as forgiving for fullback Ben Barba and star centre Justin Hodges who were rated below the five-point pass mark.
Cowboys fans were not impressed by the loss to the Wests Tigers at Campbelltown but Queensland State of Origin team-mates Brent Tate (8 from 27 per cent of voters) and Matt Scott (8, 23) escaped their wrath.
Don't forget to rate your favourite players every week in our surveys. We're keeping the tallies and at the end of the season will name the Fan Favourite at each Queensland NRL club.
Go to couriermail-com.au/sport/nrl to check the statistics before you rank.

Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Ohio
If someone, buys a video of myself masturbating with out my concent, and then send it to my father in law to do damage to me. is this legal.
Asked on 2/11/13, 5:59 am
1 Answer from Attorneys
John Sauter Cloppert, Latanick, Sauter & Washburn
The person may be liable to you in a civil lawsuit for invasion of privacy if the video was a private video not meant for sale or commercial distribution. If the video was one that was filed for the purpose of being sold then you have no reasonable expectation of privacy and the individual would not be liable for invasion of privacy. You could claim damages for emotional distress, mental suffering, shame and humility.
The purchase or distribution of the video would only be a crime (illegal) if the video contained footage of an underage individual and thus could constitute child pornography.

Right2Know welcomes ANC's Info Bill concessions
The Right2Know campaign welcomed the ANC's concessions on the Protection of Information Bill, the rights campaign said on Saturday.
The African National Congress's concessions on Friday was a sign that there was a commitment to begin the "mammoth task" of fixing the bill, Right2Know said in a statement.
"It is a first, but important step, which may signal a willingness by democrats within parliament and government to push back against an apparent grab for power by securocrats within the state."
It said this would have been impossible without the voice of ordinary South Africans who had led the struggle for the Right2Know campaign over the past year.
Right2Know also welcomed MPs' remarks that the ANC was committed to ensuring the constitutionality of each clause of the Bill.
"We view this as a first step in the right direction; there is much work to be done if the bill is to be rid of its draconian secrecy clauses."
On Friday the ANC bowed to pressure by activists, academics, journalists and former ministers by scrapping three clauses in the Bill to bring the legislation in line with the Constitution.
It agreed to scrap mandatory prison sentences for possessing and publishing secret information and to limit the power to classify to state security bodies.
It had previously sought to extend this power to all 1 001 existing organs of state, prompting fears of a return to apartheid-era state secrecy and an onslaught on media freedom.
The ANC also agreed to appoint a retired judge to hear any appeal to a refusal for access to classified information. Previously it placed this power with the state security minister.—Sapa.

Crucial to accurate, consistent handloads.
I usually talk here about guns. But, dang, guns are little to no fun at all without ammunition. I thought for this bit it might help some to talk about the process of developing a handload for your AR-15.
New bullet, new propellant, new rifle—anything new means testing and development. For myriad reasons, some known and some I'm not so sure about, one load may perform differently in different rifles, and this new jug of propellant or box of primers may not behave the same as the last batch of the "same" thing.
I do all my load work at the range. That's another article by itself, but it lets me not only save a whopping lot of time, but also have the opportunity to test combinations under pretty consistent conditions.
There are a number of good loading manuals. Most are done either by bullet or propellant manufacturers, and there's a lot more data available via magazines. Study enough of it and it becomes plain agreement is unusual. The reason is because of differences in components and equipment, and also testing conditions or circumstances. Published data serves me mostly by establishing an idea of what to anticipate—an important function.
A number of variables apply to a cartridge (propellant, bullet, primer, case), and then an increasingly escalating number of variables introduced through variously combining and fine-tuning all those (bullet seating depth, for example). Reduce variables to a minimum to get accurate feedback from testing. Let's focus on propellant charge.

Obama is still president! And Republicans are still dicks. Obama ran hard on raising taxes on households earning over $250,000 a year, and won reelection on that issue. But Republicans are insisting that this is the one issue on which they will not compromise. Dicks.
No news is good news. (Unless you're Kathleen Drew. Or a Republican.) Nothing much changed in yesterday's ballot drops in Washington State. Pretty much everything that was ahead still is ahead, and there's no sign yet of any big late voter trends.
Hey Seattle Times...? How'd that political advertising experiment work out for you? Um, not so well.
Why does God hate Chris Christie? A little more than a week after Superstorm Sandy slammed into New Jersey, devastating the coastline and leaving millions without electricity, a powerful nor'easter dumped up to a foot of snow on the region, knocking out power to hundreds of thousands more.
What's past is prologue. It's been 24 years since a Republican has won as many electoral college delegates as Obama won Tuesday night, a six-election-span in which the Republicans have only won the popular vote once. So perhaps the Grand Old White Party's bleak demographic future shouldn't come as much of a surprise?
Turns out, Asians hate Republicans too. A lot has been written about the Democratic Party's dominance with Black and Latino voters, but President Obama won 72 percent of Asian voters too.
Well, perhaps if the "R" didn't stand for "Rape"... There will be 20 women in the US Senate next session:
19 16 Democrats and only 1 4 Republicans.
And by "Nate Silver," of course he means "Math." Unskewed Polling master "mind" Dean Chambers admits that "Nate Silver was right" about his polling projections. I'm not sure what's stupider, the fact that it's news that this guy admits that actual election results trump conservative election projections, or the fact that I'm writing about this idiot at all?
A fool and his money. Republican super donors are reportedly "livid" that they got nothing for the $390 million they stuffed into Karl Rove's pockets.
Wait, do my earlobes look creasy to you?
And finally, your Taiwanese animated election wrap-up:

According to Meredith Hite, Director of Public Relations at the Dallas Market Center (DMC), buyer attendance at the summer 2012 Dallas Intl. Lighting Market was slightly ahead of June of last year and included buyers from 46 states and 25 countries.
The June lighting market offered important reasons to attend and to improve business, says Bill Winsor, President and CEO at DMC.
"Supported by new tools such the technology knowledge center, Tech-Know Spot, buyers from across the country arrived ready to sharpen their business skills and to review lighting resources and home décor inspiration across the marketplace," Winsor says.
DMC also recently announced Best of Show award winners from the 2012 June Total Home & Gift Market, which encompasses the lighting show along with other home and gift categories. The winners from the dedicated lighting floors were Hinkley Lighting (Trade Mart third floor) and DVI Lighting (Trade Mart fourth floor).

Thanks for thy present! None sweeter or better.
A poem for Thanksgiving Day
John Greenleaf Whittier 9 p.m., Nov. 22
Early morning on August 8, passengers onboard the 35 bus from Old Town to Ocean Beach had an unexpected delay. A woman on the bus decided to smash one of the vehicle's windows with her elbow for no apparent reason.
The driver pulled the bus to a halt and asked the woman to explain her actions. No answer was given; instead, she began to shriek, "Don't touch me!" at the bus driver and then fled the scene. The driver had not attempted to touch or make a citizen's arrest.
The police were called and two patrol cars arrived shortly thereafter. One of the units went in pursuit of the woman but was unable to find her.
After a wait of nearly 30 minutes, the passengers were able to continue their journeys via another bus.
That was some strong elbow she had. Probably going to 24-hour Fitness.
Yea, except tweakers go to 72-hour Fitness.
I think she was just plain old nuts, with a deranged right elbow.

Shad Tuten, who says this really is his final Augusta City Amateur, won his second consecutive title with ease.
The former Elberton, Ga., resident led by four shots after 36 holes, closed with 7-under-par 65 on Sunday at Forest Hills Golf Club and won by 12 shots.
Tuten, 22, expects to have turned pro by this time next year, but he said the same thing after he won last year.
He just finished up his golf eligibility at Armstrong Atlantic State, where he won three college events, but will return in the fall to finish up his degree.
"I'm taking it slow; I'm going to finish school first," said Tuten, who lives in Savannah, Ga. "I want to (turn pro) right now, but things have to line up. When they do, I'll do it."
He played like a pro all week at Forest Hills, leading after every round, as he did in 2013. This year, he shot 68-69-65. Georgia Regents golfer Meechai Padung shot 69-72-73 to finish a distant second.
"I'm excited about this," said Tuten, who hoped to finish at 12-under for the tournament before it started and bested that by two shots.
A missed 8-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole cost Tuten the outright tournament record. Instead, he matched the 14-under 202 shot by Jordan Johnstun in 2008.
"Oh yeah, I wanted that putt," said Tuten, who was coming off birdies on Nos. 15, 16 and 17. "After you see three drop, that hole looks huge."
The senior division had a surprise winner. Augusta's Todd Mercer rallied from six shots back and won the title by rolling in an 18-foot eagle putt on his final hole, the par-5 No. 9 on the course.
"This is big," said Mercer, a Forest Hills member who won the club championship in 2007 and 2008 but seldom plays tournament golf anymore. "I haven't grinned like this in a long time. I'm tickled to death, man."
Mercer, 51, a former Augusta College pitcher/first baseman who didn't even play high school golf, closed with 68 to edge second-round leader Doug Faulkner by one shot.
Faulkner, who called a one-shot penalty on himself when his putter nicked his ball while he was preparing to knock in a tap-in on his 10th hole of the day and also made triple bogey on his 15th hole, had 75.
"That's just golf," Faulkner said of the penalty that ended up costing him a shot at a playoff with Mercer. "But Todd played better than all of us."
It all came down to the final hole, where Mercer, Faulkner and Kenny Larry – all playing in the same group – were tied for the lead after Mercer made bogey on No. 17.
On their final hole, Mercer and Faulkner hit the par-5 green in two shots. Larry, who has won 21 senior division titles but has never won this one, was just off the green to the right, 20 feet from the hole. He three-putted from there for par and 72. After Faulkner missed his 25-foot eagle putt, Mercer rolled in his downhiller for the victory.
With the ball 5 feet from the hole, Mercer said, "Let her in one time, baby."
"Todd made a great putt," Faulkner said.
"I hit two of the best shots of the day and the best putt of the day on the last hole," Mercer said.

Both DSR drivers leave Maple Grove with E.T. records
READING, Pa. (Oct. 8, 2012) - The only things Antron Brown and Jack Beckman didn't do over the past four days at Maple Grove Raceway were win national event titles.
Brown and the Matco Tools "Tools for the Cause" team advanced to their 11th championship round through 21 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series events this season but fell short of winning a seventh event this year when Brown was upset by rookie Khalid alBalooshi, who recorded his first NHRA Top Fuel title.
Brown with crew chiefs Brian Corradi and Mark Oswald extended their points lead over DSR teammate Spencer Massey's Prestone/FRAM team to 104 points with only two events remaining in the Countdown to the Championship. Another DSR driver, Tony Schumacher, is ranked third but trails Brown by 136 points.
Brown's first-round time of 3.722 seconds on Sunday set the national record but another driver, Shawn Langdon topped that on Monday with a 3.712. However, in the semifinals, Brown responded with an astounding 3.701 to leave Maple Grove with the record and bonus points.
In Funny Car, Beckman and the Battery eXtender by Schumacher Electric/Valvoline NextGen team completed a major step in a miraculous season by setting a national elapsed time record and advancing to the semifinals to move around teammate Ron Capps and the NAPA AUTO PARTS Dodge Charger R/T for the lead in the Championship standings.
Beckman with crew chief Todd Smith and assistant Terry Snyder will arrive at the next Full Throttle event in three weeks with a 23-point lead over Capps, who lost to Beckman in Monday's rain-delayed second-round match-up.
Third-ranked Mike Neff of John Force Racing, who won the Maple Grove Raceway title, moved within 54 points of Beckman and 31 of Capps.
Johnny Gray, another DSR Dodge driver, made a big jump in points by advancing to the championship round at Maple Grove where he lost to Neff. Gray moved from eighth to fourth place but is 191 points out of the lead.
