I discovered something about myself this week. I'm not quite sure that I enjoy eating food as much as I enjoy creating it. If I go to a restaurant and there's a wonderful dish complete with new techniques and flavors, I usually can't wait to get home and try to recreate it myself. That happens most every time I eat out (at a notable spot) and I love trying new things as a way to further my own skills and palate, all the while inspiring me when I am faced with creating that next menu for a client or am feeling stumped at the grocery store. The joy of eating is tangled up with the joy of creation and the challenge to my skills. Shockingly, I think I'm a practical diner.
This realization was yet to be had as I drove to my dinner extravaganza at Minibar by Jose Andres in Washington DC on Friday night. However, I was prepared for it to not be my favorite meal ever. In spite of being over the moon thrilled at the prospect of my last-minute reservation at this el Bulliesque temple of molecular gastronomy, I knew it wasn't food I loved to make, was inclined to create or really even savored. That all said, I was prepared to be wowed and bow forth at the altar of these creative culinary geniuses and shell over the $225 it costs PLUS the $55 for the non-alcoholic drink pairing option PLUS tax and tip.
As the six of us in the first seating of the night pulled up stools to the counter for our three hours of eating, the head chef welcomed us and then very pointedly watched each of us to see our reactions to the first bites of food we experienced. It was like he wanted to see what he was dealing with: a young Australian couple on their honeymoon, three friends celebrating birthdays and me. Frankly, I was glad to be alone and be allowed to absorb all of the intricate work going on just a foot in front of me. A small brigade of chefs moved seamlessly, around the pristine kitchen, pulling mis en place after mis en place out of lowboys and onto trays. Brightly colored gels and sauces were painstakingly piped from disposable pastry bags, herbs arranged just so with chef's tweezers, hushed tones as what was happening here was different from cooking, it was a chemistry lab.
Twenty-six unique bites of food passed through my lips, and no, I'm not going to go through each ad nauseum, but wanted to highlight some of the most amazing and playful creations. I may not be heading home to try and recreate any of these, but I will tuck away little nuggets like the use of black pepper as more than just a seasoning and aerated yoghurt as a drink and curried pork shoulder and using oblate as a wrapper and the use of sherry vinegar to sharpen up even the most fatty dish.
You might remember my recent post about the el Bulli exhibition at Somerset House in London? Well, this was as close as I was ever going to get to a meal at that legendary destination. And luckily, much of the night referenced Jose Andres's Spanish roots while also acknowledging the years when he worked under Ferran Adria early in his career. A flourless marcona tart with blue cheese, uni Iberico ham consomme, smoked oysters escabeche, white beans with clams, squab with oysters and seaweed. Meanwhile, other items were inspired by the street food from Vietnam, Turkey, New England and Italy.
Watching the chefs plate the dishes was illuminating as they took their time, without a sense of haste, precisely achieving perfection – so different from the pressure cooker environment I had worked in at restaurant kitchens. The theater of this experience was as much a part of the night as the food as bags of beech mushrooms en papillot were cut open right in front of us to release their heavenly aroma and glass cloches full of smoke were lifted and waved in front of our faces so I could anticipate the smokey flavor of the oysters on the plate.
So, my favorites of the night? Those teeny tiny mushrooms in the video above. What you didn't see was the generous sprinkling of Burgandy truffles chef sliced on after the bag was open. A play on pressed flowers presented in a book, the edible blossoms captured within brittle, edible cellophane, was magical. The Espardeneyes with bone marrow was casually described by the chef as bone marrow with seafood. What I didn't know was that this variety of Catalan sea cucumber is extraordinarily rare and quite the culinary treat. This was probably the best dish to my taste – buttery, peppery, and full of textures reminiscent of New England lobster rolls but with that bite of two precisely placed capers on a dot of sherry vinegar. The chicken shawarma was full of flavor and the yoghurt that accompanied it like the best yoghurt you'll ever eat. Oh, and the fried pigs ear, like a soft taco folded around creamy curried pig shoulder with a crunchy Vietnamese salad and herbs on top. Finally, the Coconut Cuttlefish, a prawn and coconut broth with delicate dumplings stuck to the side of the bowl. You dunk the dumplings in the fragrant broth and then drink the remaining broth only to wish you had a whole vat to yourself.
It seems just as much care went into the many drinks I was served – not just your typical fruit juice and tea-based non-alcoholic drinks, but white kimchee water with a watermelon radish, horchata and rice water in a sake-like drink, aerated greek yoghurt with white pepper and sea salt, truffled parmesan water, pomegranate ale, cucumber juice with hibiscus, apple gastrique. The kitchen and bar work on these delights 50/50 to ensure a good fit with the food. I had hoped that it would be $55 well-spent when I decided to go this way, figuring they had to be mighty creative to pull this off, and pull it off they did, with aplomb!
One of the desserts I ate, (yes, I said one of) was perhaps my favorite dessert ever. It's their take on an After Eight mint – tingling minty freshness in a cold airy exterior and a liquid chocolate center. We were then ushered from our stools in the dining room into the adjoining Barmini, a colorful, whimsical space, somewhat of a shock after the staid kitchen/dining room we'd been ensconced in. Our every need still attended to, we were assigned to different spots around the room, a new vantage point from which to watch Team Andres at work. Coffee to accompany the last few morsels: lemon marshmallow, raspberry bon bon, Mezcal gummy bear, a Thai Pocky stick, and finally, a donut that was really a chocolate covered Krispy Kreme donut flavored ice cream.
Somehow, as I paid the staggering bill, I wasn't bursting at the seams. In fact, I was quite intrigued by the posh toasted sandwiches and sliders that I could see being prepared in the kitchen for the Barmini crowd. And although I will not be taking white beans, pureeing them and then reconstituting them in the shape of beans using calcium any time soon, it makes me happy to know that there are nutty people out there who do. It wasn't my favorite meal of all time, but it did make me realize something about myself and let's face it, it was delicious.

The modal split in freight transport changed considerably between 1996 and 1999. The share of road transport increased, whereas the share of rail decreased considerably from 47 % in 1996 to 36 % in 2000, thereby threatening the objective to maintain a 35 % share of rail transport in 2010 in the acceding countries. The share of oil pipelines and inland shipping accounts for only a small part of all tonne-kilometres and remained stable during the 1996-99 period.

Mark Green won endorsements yesterday from black ministers and a group of Hasidic Jews as he hop-scotched around Manhattan in what his advisers said was an attempt to demonstrate the ideological and ethnic breadth of his political support.
But Mr. Green tailored his message in a notable way depending on his audience. In the morning in East Harlem, he poked at Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, who has been unpopular among black voters, for being too exclusionary. But he expunged those remarks when he spoke an hour later on the steps of City Hall before Satmar Jews, a group that endorsed Mr. Giuliani in 1997.
Mr. Green began his day shaking hands at the subway stop at 125th Street and Lexington Avenue, then headed to a prayer breakfast at the First Sharon Baptist Church on East 116th Street, where he was joined by former Mayor David N. Dinkins and about three dozen ministers, most of them African-American. In his remarks, Mr. Green stressed his immigrant roots -- his grandfather escaped czarist Russia in a scheme involving hiding in a wheelbarrow, he said -- and his commitment to reaching out to a diverse city, including the poor.
''The ethic that guides my public life is that those who are less favored in life should be the most favored in law,'' he said. ''In the most diverse city on earth, I will try to bridge the divides, not worsen them.''
Mr. Green, who has generally refrained from attacking Mayor Giuliani directly during his campaign, pledged to the ministers: ''In an era in which we have a mayor who will not go to certain parts of the city and who won't talk to certain leaders in the city, I can tell you that is all going to end in six months.''Continue reading the main story
There was enthusiastic applause from the audience, which included the Rev. Gardner C. Taylor, pastor emeritus of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn.
Mr. Taylor introduced Mr. Dinkins, calling him the man who ''gave dignity and decency and civility to the office of mayor, for which there has been a precipitous and disgraceful decline.''
An hour later, on the steps of City Hall, Mr. Green again told the story of the wheelbarrow, repeated his thoughts about legal protections for the poor, and returned to refrains from his earlier remarks almost word for word, but without referring to Mayor Giuliani.
Mr. Green has also tweaked his message in two radio ads, one featuring an endorsement by Mr. Dinkins that is broadcast overwhelmingly on black radio stations, and the other featuring William J. Bratton, the former police commissioner, which plays mostly on stations with predominantly white listeners.
Mr. Green's advisers, citing an endorsement Wednesday by Steven McDonald, the police officer who was paralyzed after being shot in 1986 and who supported Mayor Giuliani, argue that their man has the most diverse base of any Democratic candidate. Rabbi Samuel Weider, who represents the Satmar community, said that its support could draw 10,000 to 14,000 votes. Mr. Green gained the group's support, he said, through his interest in affordable housing and special education.
Mr. Green appeared later at a forum with two of the other Democratic mayoral candidates -- Fernando Ferrer, the Bronx borough president, and Comptroller Alan G. Hevesi -- at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center in Greenwich Village. The three candidates were greeted warmly. The fourth major Democratic candidate, City Council Speaker Peter F. Vallone, did not attend but an aide read a statement that was met by boos and hisses.
Earlier, on the steps of City Hall, Mr. Ferrer repeated his promise to repeal the rollback on the income tax surcharge passed by Mayor Giuliani and the City Council. Mr. Ferrer said the money involved, which he said could amount to as much as $800 million for the city over the next four years but would return only about 4 cents a day to a typical working family, would be better spent on after-school programs for middle-school children.
Mr. Hevesi yesterday also released a new television ad stressing housing and education while taking a swipe at the mayor's decency panel.
And Mr. Vallone's campaign counsel, Henry T. Berger, sent a letter yesterday to the executive director of the New York City Campaign Finance Board, urging it to deny Mr. Hevesi's claims that the costs of petitioning for a new Education Party be exempted from the spending cap for the Democratic primary on Sept. 11.Continue reading the main story

They climbed the mountain. The girl wore only socks on her feet, having forgotten her shoes in the rush to escape. They started anyway, mother father sister brother, other families ahead and behind.
She remembered the bookstore closing, the new book display in the window darkened. How she'd wanted something before they left. A solitary woman shut the place down, walking slowly toward the light switch, then blackness.
They climbed further, maneuvering around bushes growing out of rock, their moving bodies hidden by clusters of trees. Her toes clutched stone, broke sticks. She felt the power in movement, a force in pushing ahead.

Backlash from Newsome
At quarterback, Michigan is now in search of a replacement for one of its best players in the class. Thankfully, the coaches seemed to have some idea that this decommitment was possible, and even likely, as they continued pursuing a pair of highly-touted passers as contingency plans. While neither Tate Forcier nor Eugene Smith has the high upside that Newsome does, Forcier might actually be ready to play sooner, having had a private quarterback coach for a number of years. Despite Michigan's class being seemingly full, Forcier consistently named the Wolverines among his top choices. Now that there is an opening, will Forcier jump at the opportunity, or be insulted that he was a backup plan? We might see shortly after Forcier's recently-confirmed August 30th official visit to Michigan (for the Utah game).
Speaking of Forcier being a backup plan, this may be a slight misrepresentation of the facts. Of course, Kevin Newsome was Michigan's #1 quarterback target. However, after Newsome's commitment, Forcier and Shavodrick Beaver seemed to each know that the first to commit to Michigan would be the second signal-caller in the class. When Beaver was ready first, two players who were tied for #2 suddenly changed from an even race to a bird-in-hand/bird-in-bush comparison, where Beaver was given the benefit of the doubt over Forcier. So, while neither was the number one quarterback, both were in Michigan's top 3 (of course, after Russel Shepard became unavailable) from the get-go.
What else does this mean for Michigan? While Newsome had good relationships with some of Michigan's other commits, namely Bryce McNeal, these relationships clearly weren't strong enough to convince Newsome to stick with Michigan, so I would be surprised if they were strong enough to convince anyone else to jump ship. McNeal also has a strong relationship with seemingly rock-solid Shavodrick Beaver, . If anything, his relationship with Newsome might help pull Kevin back into the fold (though I think this is unlikely either way).
Overall, the Michigan recruiting class will depend heavily on whether the team has success on the field in 2008. If it is an ugly year on the field, a few guys may look elsewhere, and the class could go downhill. however, losing one recruit in August (while there is still time to recover) does not a disaster make.
Editor's note: I'm not sure if the childhood picture is of Tate or Chris, but the point remains that the Forciers love Michigan.

Blanket Mine output up 18 pc in Q1
HARARE – Gwanda-based gold producer, Blanket Mine bumped its output for the first quarter by 18 percent to 12 794, placing it firmly on track to meet the set annual production target of 60 000 ounces.
The group is currently carrying out an expansion of the mine, which is expected to further boost gold production in the long-term.
Caledonia CEO Mr Steve Curtis said progress with the development below 750 metres at the mine was on schedule and had contributed to the increased output in Q1.
"Production continues to be supported by access to resources below the 750 meter level through the development of a second decline into the AR Main ore body as well as through the current decline at AR South and through the 6 Winze shaft," said Mr Curtis.
On a quarter-on-quarter basis, however, production was down 6 percent.
However, the CEO is not concerned.
"Production in Q1 was six per cent lower than the previous record quarter, but remains within planned production for the full year.
"This trend is in line with the historical quarterly production profile at Blanket which typically experiences slightly lower production rates in the first quarter of each year due to holidays and mine scheduling," he added.
The gold producer achieved a record 50 351 ounces of gold in 2016.
Meanwhile, Caledonia recently announced a quarterly dividend of $0, 01375 on each of the company's common shares

Make sweet music with the ultimate home recording studio
When Apple announced GarageBand Steve Jobs said they liked to develop apps to give other developers a bar to reach for.
Admittedly we baulked at this seemingly arrogant turn of phrase given some of the cool stuff off on the App Store. That was until we downloaded the app for ourselves and came to the conclusion that it is probably one of the best apps ever made.
For those who've not used the Mac version, GarageBand is a basic music-making app that harbours extremely advanced features in a simplistic, easy-to-use interface.
This app offers the ability to record and arrange music tracks using very simple tools that can achieve what seems like impossible quality. Trigger fingerpicking patterns from popular chord patterns, host a jam session with your friends and even upload the results directly to social networks or your Soundcloud.
You don't need to be a musician, you don't even really need a musical ear. You just need to be inquisitive. Playing instruments is as simple as jabbing fingers at your iPad but actually arranging tunes takes a small learning curve. Make use of the Smart Instruments function to really fool people into thinking you're a pro.
With up to 32 tracks supported on iDevices with the A7 chip (16 prior to that), the possibilities for music creation are seemingly endless. Now with the opportunity to try out GarageBand before fully committing to buy, it really is the ultimate musical showcase.
Easy to use, instantly satisfying and undoubtedly one of the slickest apps ever created.

Proposed wind farm in North Dakota gets boost in power
FARGO - The developer behind the proposed Rough Rider wind farm in North Dakota's Dickey County has increased the project's capacity from 150 megawatts to 175 megawatts.
That anticipated boost, contemplated by NextEra Energy, might not sound like much. But North Dakota regulators regard it as a sign that energy developers still have big plans for harvesting winds that sweep the landscape.
"It's quite encouraging," North Dakota Public Service Commissioner Kevin Cramer said of the increased capacity for a wind farm that represents an investment of more than $300 million, if approved.
Meanwhile, an important proposed transmission line from the Fargo area to the Twin Cities has gained the recommendation of an administrative law judge's review in Minnesota.
If ultimately approved, the transmission project would help serve wind farms in North Dakota and northwest Minnesota.
Because of the economic slowdown and the difficulty in obtaining credit, some wind developers recently announced they will wait to build some projects around the nation.
"Marginal projects have been put on the back burner or canceled," Cramer said. Some projects, because of the wind characteristics or cost of building transmission lines, are not as efficient as others.
Because wind speeds are highly variable and intermittent, the industry rule of thumb is that a wind farm operates at roughly 30 percent of its rated capacity.
NextEra, formerly FPL Energy, estimates the efficiency for the Rough Rider wind farm would range from 38 to 45 percent.
"That's very high net capacity," Cramer said. "Very high. That's as good as it gets."
Highly efficient winds make North Dakota, once dubbed the "Saudi Arabia of wind," potentially one of the most productive areas in the nation. That suggests to Cramer and Tony Clark, a fellow Public Service commissioner, that wind developers' interest won't wane.
Indeed, proposed wind projects representing almost 6,000 megawatts of rated capacity are in the regulatory pipeline in North Dakota. Combined, they would mean $11.4 billion in investment, according to figures compiled by the Public Service Commission.
To accommodate that growth, significant upgrades in transmission will be needed. In fact, transmission projects recently approved or pending approval in North Dakota total $507.4 million, including $390 million for the proposed line from the Fargo area to the Twin Cities.
That project, recently recommended by an administrative review, is part of an extensive transmission upgrade involving utilities in Minnesota and neighboring states called CapX2020.
"It'll help the whole state in a number of ways," Clark said of the proposed Fargo-to-Monticello power line.
The CapX2020 initiative aims to expand transmission capacity to handle the projected growth in power demand in Minnesota, the leading market for power exported from North Dakota.
Originally, the terminus for the line was slated for a power substation along the Maple River northwest of Fargo. Because of concerns about growth in the metro area, however, that location might be moved, Clark said.

Some experts happened to make the P Series as Sony's Netbook due to the pocketable size and nearly "Netbook" specification. But Sony refused to admit that kind of assumptions and now they've finally announced their latest real "Netbook" – the Sony Vaio W series to break those assumptions.
Sony Vaio W Series is a 10.1-inch LED backlit LCD netbook, powered by Intel 1.66Ghz Atom N280 processor and integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics chipset. You can read the press release below for more detail though, but the main attraction is the hi-resolution display of 1366×768, which is above the average of every netbook resolution. Other mentionable specs is the 1GB DDR2 RAM, max 160GB hard drive, XP OS, bluetooth, VGA out, 2 USB port and card reader. Price estimated to be around $500, and it will be available next month.
Full Sony Vaio W Series Press Release:
Sony DEBUTS HOT NEW Mini Notebook IN COOL NEW COLORS
VAIO W Series Ideal for Casual Computing and Staying Connected
SAN DIEGO, July 7, 2009 – Sony today took the wraps off its chic new line of mini notebooks- the VAIO® W Series.
Featuring an ultra-portable design, the W Series is perfect for using as a secondary PC, in any room of the house, for surfing the web, checking e-mail, and social networking.
The W model comes in three vibrant colors- berry pink, sugar white and cocoa brown. A more subtle shade of the exterior hue finishes the inside of the PC while the touchpad is lined with a splash of brightness.
"The W Series lets you quickly look something up online whether searching for a recipe in the kitchen or relaxing on your recliner- there's no need to trudge upstairs to your office," said Mike Abary, senior vice president of the VAIO business group at Sony. "And it's sturdy enough for the kids to use, making it perfect for every member of the family."
The W Series incorporates a high-resolution, 1366 x 768, LED backlit 10.1-inch (measured diagonally) ultra-wide display, making it easy to view two full web pages- no side-to-side scrolling necessary.
The model features an isolated keyboard with springy and responsive keys making it comfortable and easy to use. Its carefully designed touchpad and mouse keys make the PC functional and mouse movements easy to control.
The W Series unit is ENERGY STAR® 5.0 compliant, EPEAT Gold registered and incorporates eco-conscious features such as a mercury-free LED backlit LCD. Its corrugated cardboard packaging is comprised of 95 percent recycled content. Sony will also help recycle your old PC (www.sony.com/green; recycling fees may apply).
The model comes with VAIO Media plus Multimedia Streaming software, a media sharing application that lets you wirelessly stream content across DLNA®-enabled devices throughout your home network. Stream video, music and pictures from your W Series to your compatible primary PC or PLAYSTATION®3 and vice-versa and enjoy your content anywhere in the home including on your big-screen TV.
Easily transfer data, such as photos from your digital camera or music from an MP3 player, to and from the PC with the unit's two convenient USB ports. Incorporated Bluetooth® technology enables peripherals such as a wireless mouse to be utilized without tying up the unit's ports.
A built-in webcam and microphone let you video chat with family, friends and colleagues. A third-party internet service provider is required.
A roomy 160GB hard drive has been included providing ample storage for all your photos, files and videos. It comes pre-installed with Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition operating system.
The VAIO W Series mini notebook will retail for about $500. It is available for pre-orders today online at www.sonystyle.com/pr/w. It will also be sold at Sony Style® stores and at other major retailers around the country starting next month.

A Second (and Green) Career for New York City's Industrial Buildings
October 22nd, 2008, 3:22 pm
New York City was once the nation's power house for manufacturing, and many of the buildings and factories that fueled that industry remain. Preserving these buildings and using them to foster green-collar industries or adapting them to new housing, cultural, and retail uses is the most sustainable action New York could take.
Tonight's program, Recycling New York's Industrial Past: Inspiration From Home and Abroad, will explore two approaches to preserving industrial buildings: keeping them for manufacturing uses (which also means retaining good-paying jobs) or adapting these buildings to new uses, like the ice skating rink at the former Coking Plant in Essen, Germany, above at left. Tickets are still available for the program and can be purchased by calling 212-935-2075.
Panelists include: Andrew Kimball, president & chief operating officer of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, home to traditional maritime uses and new green jobs; Robert Powers, preservation consultant on the tax-certified rehabilitation of the Austin-Nichols Warehouse; ; and Lisa Kersavage, MAS director of advocacy and policy. Moderated by Mary Habstritt, president of the Society for Industrial Archaeology, with exciting adaptive reuse projects from around the world.
Recycling New York's Industrial Past: Inspiration From Home and Abroad Wednesday, October 22, 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., reception to follow. At The Municipal Art Society, 457 Madison Avenue, at East 51st St. $15, $12 MAS members/students. Call 212-935-2075 to make your reservation.

Our Mobile Application Testing Service is reliable, robust, flexible and effective. Though we are primarily engaged in development, QC / QA is also an integral and expanding service that we provide.
While Apple makes your testing matrix a bit simpler by having only a few devices in the market, we make sure your iOS applications work across various devices like 3G, 3GS, 4 and 4S for iPhone 2G and 3G, iPod Touch and iPad 1, 2 and 3 with various OS combinations.
Android, the fastest growing mobile operating system, is also the most complex in terms of its testing matrix. Android developers must ensure that each new application and its version functions as expected on multiple device models. Android is challenging as it has multitude of manufacturers, various device capabilities in terms of memory, processor speed, various screen sizes, resolution matrixes and different OS versions such as: Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Beans.
While BlackBerry applications have evolved rapidly over the past several years in terms of functionality and ease-of-use, the same cannot be said of BlackBerry testing methodologies. Similar to Android, Blackberry too gives the developers and testers a challenge as it has multitude of combinations in terms of screen size, screen type (touch & non-touch), navigation methodology and OS versions in the market. We test applications on Touch, Curve, Storm and other devices as per requirement of client.
With the advent of Windows phone 7, there is hot competition in market for application development. A lot of new testing across device makers, device models, carriers and locations is done for Windows applications.

We have all made makeup mistakes in the past. In fact, that is how most of us learn. None of us are born experts on makeup. There are certain makeup mistakes you must avoid at all costs.
These mistakes can make you look more made up than you intend to look. In fact, with the right kind of makeup, you can look like you haven't put much of an effort into the look at all.
These tips that we've shared would help you avoid looking too fake. And, not to worry, we all have been culprits of some or the other makeup mistakes in the past as well.
They are all made in an attempt to make ourselves look nicer, but obviously they fail and thus we end up looking a lot worse than we intended.
Sometimes the mistake is in the lighting and sometimes it's in the makeup itself. So, here's how you can ensure you never repeat those mistakes ever again.
Have a look at these tips and do let us know what you think of them in the comments section below!
1. Foundation Shade:
One mistake that we are sure that EVERYONE has made is picking the wrong foundation. Some people, in an attempt to look fairer than they are, end up picking a foundation lighter than their skin tone. Please stick to a foundation shade that is closest to your skin tone to make it look really natural.
2. Concealing:
Apply your concealer in an upside down triangle shape under the eye, rather than a crescent moon shape. This ensures the concealer looks well blended with the rest of the face.
3. Over-lining:
A lot of girls think over-lining their lips can make their lips look fuller. Now, there's nothing wrong with doing this, but you need to make sure you do it the right way and don't go over the top when doing it.
4. Eyeliner:
Don't draw a line that is too thick and don't draw an overdramatic wing. The makeup needs to be subtle to accentuate your features.
5. Brows:
Again, try to keep it as natural as possible. Don't draw too much of a heavy arch. In fact, just follow along the shape of your natural brows.
6. Blush:
Don't sweep blush on with heavy hands. This can look a little cartoon like. Light sweeps are what you want. Sweep the blush only on the apples of your cheeks for a very natural-looking flush.
7. Bronzer:
We have seen way too many people using too much bronzer and that too even on their cheeks. Never use bronzer on your cheeks. It screams out wannabe tan. Instead, use bronzer underneath your cheekbones for a chiseled look.
8. Highlight:
For highlighting, go for a shade that is only two shades lighter than your actual skin tone. Otherwise, it can look too made up.
9. Mascara:
In order to avoid clumps in your mascara, warm it up slightly by rubbing the bottle along your palms.
10. Too Much Powder:
Too much powder after finishing your makeup can make your face look too caked up. Instead, take a blush brush and lightly dust the powder on your face.
11. Not Using Lip Balm:
Always use a lip balm before you apply lipstick. Just remove the lip balm with your hands, right before you apply the lipstick. This ensures that the lipstick does not settle on to the cracks of your lips.

Blac Chyna is putting the finishing touches to her birth plans. With her due date imminent, it's thought that Rob Kardashian's fiancé is planning on using the same lavish maternity suite that Kim Kardashian used previously.
According to TMZ, the 28-year-old will cough up $4,000 dollars a night for her own private room at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles when she gives birth later this month.
Each suite at the hospital comes with three beds, two bathrooms and its own private lounge - easily
enough space for the giant Kardashian clan.

Grain Shippers Trumped by Oil on U.S Rail Lines
By Naomi Christie and Shruti Date Singh Sept. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Shipping companies probably will miss out on exports from the record U.S. grain harvest because the shale-oil boom is clogging up rail lines to ports. While the U.S. will reap the most crops ever, fourth- quarter export cargoes will be 15 percent lower than last year, according to RS Platou Markets AS, a … [Read more...]

Abstract A suite of calc-silicate and calc-magnesian silicate granulites from Borra, Eastern Ghats belt, India, displays six critical mineral assemblages that were produced from widely varying bulk compositions at different episodes of metamorphism. Phase equilibria considerations in the calcareous rocks and geothermobarometry in associated rocks attest to metamorphic temperatures in excess of 950 °C at moderate pressures (9kbar). Subsequently, the complex evolved through a near-isobaric cooling path (ΔP = 2kbar, ΔT = 250 °C) that intersected several vapour-absent equilibria. Fluid composition was regionally buffered by mineral equilibria both during peak and retrograde metamorphism, and as a result of varied bulk compositions XflCO2 varied between ~0.8 and ~0.4 in microscale during peak metamorphism. However, increased CO2 activity (promoted by channelized CO2 flux) along late narrow shear zones is locally indicated by mineral equilibria. Carbon and oxygen isotopic data reveal that the calcareous rocks preserved gradients presumably from the premetamorphic stage, which rule out any pervasive fluid flux during granulite facies metamorphism in Eastern Ghats.
Eastern Ghats • calc-silicates • high-T metamorphism • isobaric cooling • channelized fluid flow • stable isotopes.

NBA News: Player News and Updates for 4/16/14
NBA Player Updates 4/16: Clippers and Knicks Win, Playoff Scenarios, Tonight's TV Schedule and More
April 16, 2014
See the Latest Odds
It's the final day of the NBA's 2013-14 regular season, and though all of the playoff spots have been reserved, there's still a bit of wrangling to do here and there as far as seeding. That said, let's take our daily look around the league and see which teams and players are making headlines this morning. Here's the latest.
Tim Hardaway Jr., SG, New York Knicks: Even though it was ultimately a meaningless game for the Knicks--since they'll be sitting at home on the couch watching the playoffs--they still played well against a playoff-bound Brooklyn team last night (and to be fair, the Nets were probably phoning it in). Hardaway led the way with 16 points in the 109-98 win, keeping his breakout rookie season going.
The Knicks will play their final game of the season tonight at home against Toronto. If you believe the rumors, it may be the last time you ever see Carmelo Anthony in a Knicks uniform.
USA TODAY Sports
Blake Griffin, PF, Los Angeles Clippers: Here's the good news: Griffin tallied a game-high 24 points last night in a 117-105 win over the Nuggets, adding five rebounds and four assists along the way. The bad news is that Griffin picked up his 16th technical foul of the season last night, which warrants an automatic suspension. He didn't travel with the team to Portland for tonight's regular-season finale, so it's looking like he'll take his one-game banishment without any arguing.
Playoff Scenarios: As we said a moment ago, there's still some jockeying for position to do tonight as the league plays its final games. Some teams are locked into playoff seeds already (Pacers, Heat and Hawks in the East; Spurs, Rockets, Blazers and Warriors in the West), but the rest can move up or down depending on what happens tonight.
For example, out East the Bulls and Raptors can flip-flop if Toronto loses and Chicago wins. Brooklyn will fall to No. 6 if they lose and the Wizards win tonight. The Bobcats will get No. 6 if they win and the Wizards lose.
In the West, OKC gets No. 2 if they win or the Clippers lose. The winner of the Grizzlies-Mavs game tonight gets the No. 7 seed.
NBA Daily Schedule: After tonight, we'll have a complete picture of the playoffs. Here's a look at the complete (and very busy) schedule, along with the start times and TV networks carrying each game.
Wednesday, April 16, 2014:
Chicago Bulls at Charlotte Bobcats (SportSouth, CSN-Chicago)

Like it or perhaps not, Nearby Medical Marijuana Dispensary is headed the right path. Cannabis, following a long and troubled past with prohibition, is finally beginning to be legalized in small pockets round the country through a variety of voter and government actions. While the government continues to be holding fast for all-out illegalization, states across the country are chipping away at marijuana laws to the advantage of local economies and even law enforcement professionals.
To date, Colorado and Washington are definitely the only two states to get passed voter initiatives fully legalizing marijuana for recreational use. While you can still find some caveats towards the law, the huge benefits have been immense. Colorado continues to be raking in huge tax revenues since sales first started around the starting of the entire year, and Washington, although lagging behind from the implementation of retail sales, is placed to keep up. Both these states had robust medical marijuana industries before full legalization, making the transition a lttle bit easier for citizens. While the industries and laws vary between states, the standard premise of medical marijuana dispensaries, in addition to collective gardens and also the donation system, work usually the same.
It's through these systems of collective gardens and donations that medical marijuana dispensaries are already capable of open legally and thrive, serving the sick and needy of the respective constituencies. Naturally, there are individuals who abuse the program, utilizing the medical loophole just to get their on the job cannabis products for recreational use. Nevertheless the medical marijuana industry plays an immensely important role within the lives of several. For most, cannabis products in addition to their derivatives are the one thing that supplies relief to people affected by cancer, chronic pain, anxiety, and countless other issues.
Like a resident of Washington state, I've had the chance to take a look at dozens of local medical marijuana access points and speak with people who own and operate them. Most run by way of a legal loophole allowing 'collective gardens', where multiple medical marijuana patients, who are allowed to grow or have a very certain quantity of plants or weight in dried product, into the future together by pooling their resources. Turning these collective gardens into a non-profit industry is tricky, but by walking a great legal line, it can be done.
The collective garden concept is integral on the entire medical marijuana industry, specially in Washington state. Each and every time you enter a dispensary or access point, you may be asked to brandish your identification and medical marijuana paperwork, or 'green card'. New patients are then asked to fill out paperwork, essentially becoming part of that exact collective garden, allowing to allow them to take cannabis product from the storefront in exchange for monetary donations. Patients can become individuals as many collective gardens they really want, providing unlimited access to the hundreds of dispensaries across he state.
This is also important in terms of understanding exactly how access points obtain the product they feature patients and customers. As collective gardens, shops can boost their own cannabis, together with the allotment of plants for every single in their members. This will reach incredibly high numbers, which is how some grow operations could become so huge nevertheless still operate (somewhat) legally. Most of the time, this gives more than sufficient product to stock dispensary shelves.
Other individuals decided to develop on their own, and focus on certain product offerings. Here is where the actual innovation within the cannabis marketplace emanates from; multiple patients concentrating on different products, to see the things that work. This holds true with assorted strains of marijuana.
The two main basic types of cannabis: sativa, which provides a more upbeat, cerebral sensation, and indica, which is often used more being a pain killer, and gives users much more of a sedative effect. By choosing the ideal match of cannabinoids, or chemical compounds found within the cannabis flower, patients can frequently find highly-effective medications for ailments. By way of example, patients that suffer from insomnia will be better-off employing a heavy indica, which would assist them to relax and drift off to sleep. Many individuals who start working and handle chronic pain may wish to choose hybrid of an indica and sativa, which will help fight pain, and also not cause drowsiness.
By trying out the nearly limitless quantity of combinations, new strains are located and classics are made to be as potent as ever. The truth is, specific strains are increasingly being cultivated with certain chemical makeups to combat very specific conditions, as in the matter of the Charlotte's Web strain.
Patients growing their own cannabis could bring it to get into points, or even marijuana farmers markets, and attempt to sell it throughout the donation system. This really is where most shops obtain their edibles and oils. Because the market sees specialization, some patients can form their very own smaller businesses by focusing their talents on certain products. One patient may have an excellent way to help make cannabis-infused soda, as an example, and try to produce and market it within specific name. They can then bring these sodas to different shops, and stock the shelves with their product.
These nine people have experienced fame, wealth, and overwhelming success all while getting through a disability. Plus they wouldn't already have it any other way.
This too helps develop a wide array of products for patients to try out. From edibles of each and every conceivable kind to oils and dabs. Those, that are usually known as collectively as concentrates, are quickly growing in popularity due to their high potency. Concentrates are produced through many different different methods, but essentially contain try to boil down cannabis before the chemicals are almost really the only element remaining. Concentrates may be smoked, and sometimes eaten or applied topically.
From dried flower to edibles and concentrates, having patients develop their own brands of cannabis product effectively creates a supply chain to hold feeding the demands in the industry. Obviously, offerings will be different from location to location, and a lot of shops are actually able to tailor their product lineups to the specific needs of your patients within their areas. An example will be an access point located near old industrial sites, where many people have developed cancers on account of being exposed to chemicals or radiation. Dispensaries over these areas may tailor their offerings to feature more indica-heavy products, which typically assist with chronic pain along with other common issues cancer patients face.
Naturally, by creating supply chains and particular brands of merchandise, there comes the need for all types of administrative and financial work, that presents a completely new group of challenges for people engaged in the industry.
In terms of normal business activities, like banking and finances, the vape shop review remains to be a bit stuck, for insufficient a greater word. Many banks and credit unions won't allow dispensaries to keep accounts, as they are still dealing with a item that is illegal at the federal level, and they don't need to be caught associating along with it. Yes, somewhat ironic considering a few of the world's largest banks are already caught often times laundering money for drug cartels, but this is essentially the reasoning behind it.
For this reason fear, cash is considered the main method to conduct transactions. There are some locations that take bank cards, but when again, many companies offering merchant services are wary of the market and want to keep their distance. This really is changing now, as legal marijuana markets are opening and federal officials have due to the nod to permit businesses to look forward without fear of legal retribution.
This has been the case in terms of marketing. Shops really don't get the traditional means of marketing offered to them, like television commercials or billboards, so new ways happen to be developed. Alternative weekly newspapers, like Seattle's The Stranger are fantastic places for shops to advertise, and one of several few print available choices. Besides that, online has been the main supply of exposure.
Websites like Leafly and Weedmaps have grown to be two staples for patients to locate dispensary locations, and to do research regarding strains and chemical content of edibles or concentrates. Essentially, both of them supply a Yelp-like platform to have reviews and share thoughts regarding new services or strains.
Finally, complying with local laws is definitely the basis on what the complete industry lies. The law differs between states, city to city, with a few municipalities banning collective gardens and dispensaries altogether. Obviously, the medical community is just not even recognized in every real sense by the government, which still, to the day, conducts the occasional raid on medical dispensaries. But also for nearly all access points, simply complying using the law, only offering their services to certified patients and steering clear of trafficking activities can keep them inside the clear. There is always a specific amount of risk, but given that full legalization has brought effect, specially in Washington, the situation is as lax as ever.
That, the bottom line is, are the basics of the medical marijuana industry, because they apply in the state Washington. The situation is different throughout the country, although the essence from the field is the same. Legal recreational shops operate differently, and it's unclear at this point if the medical shops is going to be rolled in together with the recreational stores at some time. There are many reasons why that may be an effective or bad thing, but which is a bridge to cross when legislators arrived at it.
If you find one interesting thing for taking from examining the medical marijuana industry, it's these patients all across the country have demostrated that there is a lot of perseverance, entrepreneurial spirit and ingenuity presented all throughout the country. As legalization takes hold in more states, this may only grow, and the economical benefits are often more visible. By creating new items, new businesses and creating new jobs, those who are in the best vape trick are paving how on an entire new business sector for taking hold in the United States.

We had this issue
Seemed to be an issue on IE7 / vista and not IE7 on XP
I can tell you know there is a patch that needs to be applied to any front end and back exchange servers to cure this. The problem is not the client browser althought on the face of it, it appears to be.
Client-side fix
Since I posted my question earlier, I ran across the explanation, and a client-side workaround, as well as the Exchange server fix.
Vista doesn't support a necessary ActiveX control. Simply selecting 'Basic' client in the Outlook 2003 sign-on screen gives you email edit capabilities, albeit with a rather plain interface.

Different time, different stories.
Baguio City Travel Blog› entry 1 of 1 › view all entries
First time in Baguio City.
I have been in Baguio City for several times now. I'm always excited to feel the cool breezing whether of the beautiful City of Pines. Before, I am just one typical traveler going back and fourth for Panagbenga Festival or the widely known Flower Festival.
October 22, 2008: It was even my 22nd Birthday, when I headed back to Baguio for work. I stayed and worked there for almost a year and three months. I had real fun with cool people with different personalities. At first, I don't know how to be with these kind of people, but eventually, I've got engrossed and finally became close friends.
During my stay, I met fabulous people, who are my friends now, at different places at different time. I had so much fun dealing differences of orientations and beliefs. In a way, I have loved the outcome. I'm far better than before.
The first place I visited there was at the Philippine Military Academy. One of my bosses way back in Ilocos Norte is actually working there, so I had real fun. Almi toured me around along with some stories. I even had the chance of meeting her class one late afternoon, before these cadets/cadettes head for training.
The well-known Strawberry Farm is one of my travels' highlights. I met my cousins there, who are staying near the place.
Before you head back to Manila, make sure you have visited The Cathedral, Mines View Park, Burnham Park, Lourdes Shrine, The Botanical Garden, The Mansion, Camp John Hay, The Butterfly Garden and more. Take a cab, and let the driver tour you around.
Some of my photos posted here are taken at different time, with different stories.
Panagbenga 2010.
Baguio City celebrates Panagbenga Festival or most widely known as the Flower Festival every February. I had a chance to witness this very refreshing activity in the so-called City in the Mountains.
Local celebrities also joined the parade. Spotted were Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Melai Cantiveros, Jayson Francisco, Angelica Panganiban, Robi Domingo, Maja Salvador, Paul Jake Castillo, PBB Housemates Tibo and Johan Santos, JC de Vera, Jackie Rice, Buboy Villar, The Panday Kids, and more. Spotted also politicians like Bong Revilla, Bong Bong Marcos, Loren Legarda, Manny Villar to name a few.
Hotel and lodges reservation starts as early as September.
Baguio for the nth time!
Yes, definitely. Baguio City is one of my favorite travel destinations. I have a lot of cool friends there and I always enjoy my stay there. Good food plus good people, well, happiness! That's what we always want...ever been wanted, right?
I admit, I have been to the beautiful places in Baguio City, even visited these places for the nth times. Sometimes, I tour my friends. Yayy, I don't know why I always come back to Baguio...I just love this place! Perfect! ;o
