Some things are just much easier with other toolkits than with others. We must also consider the "developer experience" here - I am sure that INTERCAL is a Turing-complete language, but nevertheless I would not make a financial app with it =). > I would much prefer a widget set that does what is asked of it, over one > that looks great but is a monster to work with. Therefore, UI design > comes before widget prettiness in my book. Obviously - my criticism was directed at your extreme denial of the usefulness of UI look-and-feel being a criteria. I am saying it is a criteria - not as important one as a good design - but it is certainly a big part of the overall user experience. I agree that *in principle* you are correct. However, my personal experience says that you have to take reality into account - with some toolkits some things are easier than others, and some toolkits (like Motif or Tcl/Tk) just look so damned ugly that nobody is going to take them seriously. One of the things that we are shooting for here (even though nobody has mentioned it publicly) is that we *do* want users for the software. As many users as possible. And the sad fact is, that people do choose software also based on how it looks. > Your experience will be much appreciated. Care to have a crack at it? Of course - I wouldn't be complaining that much otherwise. However, the problem is that I am completely unfamiliar with Python UI libraries, so the work is slow, error-prone, and entirely sub-optimal. -- Janne Jalkanen //! address@hidden // !

My advice is to spend more time on these things, as opposed to putting them out so fast. Quality over quantity, and if it takes 4 hours to make a single good design, then that's an accomplishment. Honestly, you've got a lot of work here, and while none of it is bad, nothing here really hit me as spectacular. If you can't figure out how to do something, ask somebody or research it, and keep working on everything you make until it's perfect. If something doesn't look too good, fix it, even if it takes a while and is complex.
Instead of slapping text on some cheap looking background, I would of taken time to create something. and then centred the text correctly.
Ok. You've done your rant of the day. This is insulting and insulting my work is like insulting me. Stop it please. And @samw40: Yes, it's two gradients but the second one is a Xor layer.
If you don't want any criticism then stop updating the thread with your stuff. I agree with sam and manic about your designs, the background of your latest one looks fine, but it doesn't match the rest of the photo. The background implies a rigid look while the box/text implies a smooth retro look. Try aiming for only one style for each piece.
Agreed. The main problem though, imo, is that while the green layer looks like a three-dimensional layer due to the shape, shine and shadow (no alliteration intended), the flat background makes it look... off. And also, you can't just assume that all of your work is perfect. You can't post a showcase thread and then reject all of the critique. Here's what you need to do: find a tutorial for something that looks really nice and complex. Make it, but time yourself. I'll bet you that you'll spend a lot more time on it than you have on many other of your pieces. But, it'll look much better.

Reviews - 2009 |
Yes, they are really back! One and a half years after "Sarkaimet" my favorite Finnish newcomer band introduces its latest output – a one-track-single called "Leiki juollutta". Hopefully a foretaste of what is to come?
I really loved "Sarkaimet" for its weighty Metal sound that mixed up Old School mid-tempo Metal with Death and Thrash riffs. That was nothing very innovative or new, but a fresh mix from known ingredients – served on a cool plate. On the new song "Leiki juollutta" I miss this fresh and weighty Metal sound a bit. Once again it's played, sung and mixed in a very professional way. But this time it lacks the coolness and the snotty tone. The new song is okay, but the sound is not rough enough, the riffs are far too smooth. All in all it's too average to shine between the mass of Death, Thrash releases.
For the full-length output (that I really hunger after) I wish back the sound from "Sarkaimet": Edgily and full of strong riffs. I wish for Kameleontti that they are not playing any calculated "Everybody's Darling" Metal now, but cool and fresh and especially forceful Metal with balls instead.

CMS issues RFC for exemptions to individual mandate
Posted on October 22, 2013 | No Public Comments
Yesterday, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a Request for Comment (RFC) concerning new exemptions to the individual mandate under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This particular RFC asks for additional information on the burden experienced by health care sharing ministries, and if such burden would qualify for an exemption from the individual mandate.
Update: Ohio expands Medicaid
Posted on October 22, 2013 | No Public Comments
After the measure to expand Medicaid failed in the Legislature this summer, the Ohio Controlling Board voted 5-2 to approve Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This decision, which will likely be met by a multitude of legal challenges in the coming months, makes Ohio the 25th state to accept enhanced federal funding to help insure the state's most impoverished residents. Our map has been updated to reflect these changes.

CMS releases draft application for ACA exemptions
Posted on October 16, 2013 | No Public Comments
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a draft application and a corresponding data collection comment request concerning exemptions from the individual mandate. Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), certain groups of individuals, such as those experiencing financial hardships or those that belong to a religious organization that opposes the use of insurance, are deemed exempt from the individual mandate and are therefore not required to pay the $95 penalty in 2014. This specific draft application, which is for individuals requesting a hardship exemption, is 6 pages in length and requires applicants to provide the type of hardship they are experiencing and their tax information. CMS anticipates that more than 12 million individuals will apply for the individual mandate exemption. The data collection comment request outlines options for states to rely on the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to determine eligibility exemptions, and asks the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve the annual information collection requirements associated with the application.

The guidance applies to entities associated with the enrollment process, such as FFM, qualified health plan issuers, and agents and brokers, and describes how these groups are expected to operate in terms of aiding individuals in obtaining health insurance and subsidies. The guidance purports that CMS intends the document to be "living," and the agency will provide consistent updates and clarification on the provisions therein.

Sector 7 2011 English Dubbed 720p BluRay DTS x264-SKALiWAGZ
P2P group SKALiWAGZ released the HDRip of Sector 7 (aka 7 gwanggu), an action adventure horror movie starring Ji-won Ha, Sung-kee Ahn and Ji-ho Oh, directed by Ji-hoon Kim.
Plot: Something awaits 8,000 feet under the sea off the southern tip of Jeju Island. The Eclipse is the offshore drilling rig stationed at Sector 7, a mining area in the vast open sea located off the southern tip of Jeju Island. The oil drilling excavations end in failure and headquarters gives the order to withdraw. Captain Jeong-man is sent to oversee the crews withdrawal from the Eclipse. However, Hae-jun, the equipment manager (played by Ha Ji-won), is adamantly opposed to the headquarters order, as she is certain that oil will be discovered in Sector 7. Motivated by Hae-juns conviction of finding oil, the Captain suggests conducting one last drilling exercise. While Hae-jun and the crew are fully engaged in their final attempt, they lose communication with headquarters, and the crew is overwhelmed by the disconcerting feeling that something is out there. As bodies begin disappearing one by one, the few surviving need to think fast and fight for their lives in a non-stop battle against the mutant monster from the sea. Survival looks unlikely, but Hae-jun and the crew are determined to take any chance to get out of Sector 7 alive.

I love fashion because of this the fashion weeks, were new designs, collections are showcased and its the time of year when spring starts and its out with the old in with the new, that feeling which is why I love sites like these so I can check them out and keep up to date

Because fashion is a form of escape. When I'm browsing collections, streetstyle photos or reading articles, I feel like a princess. I can clearly see myself wearing this stunning Marchesa dress.
I love everything that brings pleasure to the eye. Ugly things make me feel nervous and unbalanced. I'm not a perfectionist. Beauty is not all about perfection, it's all about feeling that something looks like how it's meant to be.

REGINA S. PERUGGI steps out of the elevator and heads purposefully toward her new office at the Central Park Conservancy. It's this way. No, that way. She is momentarily lost as she strides down a long hallway on her first morning as president of the philanthropic group, whose wealthy members have vivified the once unkempt park into a meticulously restored greensward.
In her large, sparsely furnished office, Dr. Peruggi, in a taupe suit and brown pumps, is peering into unpacked boxes, deciding what to pull out. The morning has a certain feel to it, sort of like the first day of school. Dr. Peruggi stepped down as president of Marymount Manhattan College after nearly 11 years to take the top job with the park's powerful money machine.
Waiting on her desk are sunny daffodils. They're from the conservancy's women's committee, which organizes the park's premier social and fund-raising event, the annual spring luncheon, which was held Wednesday. It's always a sea of hats. (Dr. Peruggi donned a beige one festooned with brightly colored flowers.)

"I thought the card turned out very nice. I was surprised you didn't put in a couple of extra envelopes at no cost like Shutterfly. Was thrilled you had so many cards for Chinese New Year."
"I ordered this card in the pearl paper and it turned out great. I ordered about 35 to send to our business partners in China. They love red, so the color was perfect, and the snake detail on the back is nice. The wrong envelopes were sent to me in the initial shipment - very cute 2.5 x 3.5 inch ones! I called in and the proper sized ones were shipped that day to me. A little inconvenient, but Tiny Prints made it right. Their envelope quality is great so it was worth waiting a couple days to get theirs rather then going out to buy replacements at a craft store."
"Most lunar new year cards have Chinese characters or say Happy "Chinese" New Year. I celebrate Vietnamese New Year and found this card to work with my ethnic background. This was one of the only cards that did not have any Chinese characters. I just added in the saying "Chuc Mung Nam Moi" along with my family name to help identify the card with my ethnic lunar celebration. I hope Tiny Prints will keep other ethnic groups in mind next lunar new year."
"I took the opportunity to share highlights of a family trip over the summer with some great casual shots of the children for this end of year holiday card. There was even a spot for a picture of my husband an I on the bottom which was perfect for send off. Got great feedback from all the friends and family."
"Really nice, with cool options for your photos to look even better (saturated or retro, etc.). You can also add two photos on the back as well which is great for large families or just lots of pics. This is not a folding card, but more of a postcard. Also, check for size because it may be smaller than you think. Still, the quality is fabulous so you will not be disappointed. Shipping was faster than expected (I took a chance and didn't pay the extra for two day shipping but it came that fast anyway, three days before Christmas). I appreciate that they give you the option for regular size envelopes so you don't have to pay extra postage if you don't want to. There are cheaper cards out there, but you get what you pay for"

BY JASON SHUFFLERPortland photographer Joanne Denzer was planning a trip to Belize but didn't want to lug a cumbersome camera tripod into the rainforest with her. Denzer's need to stabilize her camera along with a desire to travel light and still shoot steady eventually led to the Body Camera Mount. Developed with co-inventor and business partner Thom Gambaro (the first prototype pieces were molded in Gambaro's home convection oven), the contraption is a wearable tripod that provides the stability needed for longer exposed images and clearer photographs but allows for maximum mobility in an uncontrolled environment. The front platform for the camera is attached to rubber straps that wrap over the shoulders and around the chest, much like a life vest. The Portland-based Body Camera Mount Co. is seeking investors to start manufacturing and selling the camera mount at roughly the same price as a tripod, about $125. It's "the functionality of having a platform wherever you are," says Gambaro. Denzer's hope is that the device will one day become a standard in photography. |

My husband, daughter, son in law an new baby grandson stayed in this lovely condo and it was absolutely perfect. Having the second bedroom and bathroom was ideal . Having an in suite washer and dryer was great especially with a baby, and made for very little laundry when getting home. One of the best beaches in Kihei is right across the street, We packed up the boogie boards, umbrellas and chairs that were provided in a wagon that was there to make the trip across the street even easier. At night a quick walk across the street provided a beautiful spot to watch the sunset. The condo was located in an ideal area to walk to many great restaurants, bars and the flea market. We enjoyed pool time everyday at a lovely pool area and took advantage of bar-b-q-ing pool side several nights. We cooked in several times as well and did not find we were short of a single thing. Steve & Jasmine were wonderful owners and very helpful with any and all questions we had. It was a very nice clean well maintained property, we loved every minute and hated to see our vacation end.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with young children, age 55+, girls getaway.

We just returned from a 10 day vacation on Maui at the Banyan. The condo was accurately described by the photos. We had two adults, a 16 year old daughter and and 18 year old son. Having a second bathroom, 2 queen beds and a t.v. in the guest bedroom was great for them. A few things that kept us from giving this condo an excellent rating are the lack of privacy in the master (the doors that separate it from the living/dining area are frosted glass, and definitely do not dampen the sound from the living areas. There is no A/C in the master, and when it is too hot to have the sliding door open (which it was the whole time we were there) it is uncomfortably hot. The main area and the second bedroom do have A/C. The seating to chat or watch t.v. in the main living area is not comfortable for 4 adults. The coach is small, and there is only one arm chair. None are particularly comfy. A family of 4 or more would need a few more sets of silverware, cereal bowls (the dishes are mismatched), serving dishes and griddle. Though a view was referred to in the description, we found that the foliage has grown to block any sort of views. The windows face the side of the property facing one of two swimming pools. The grounds are well kept. The pool is right behind the building for convenient access. Though pools are small, they are clean, have clean bathrooms and clean, nice grills. This unit is on the second floor at the back/top of the property which was comforting with the threat of Flossie which came over us during our stay. The beach is a short hike to the front of the property and across the street. The beaches that run in front of the property are some of the nicest we saw on the island - beautiful, fine sand. The owners responded quickly each time we made contact. Breakfast at Kehei Caffe is delicious, and the ambiance is very "Kehei". The washer and dryer were large capacity and worked well. The water from the tap smells very chlorinated, so you may want to drink bottled water. If you plan to be out after 8:00 PM be sure to take the outer door card key they supply to open the door to the outside of the building. We didn't realize we needed a card to get in and were locked out our first night after taking a dip in the pool! The security guard let us in so it was only a small inconvenience. Overall this is a nice condo, if you want a nice quiet location it's perfect, if you want a view you will be disappointed.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, age 55+, girls getaway.

My husband and I (along with our 3 children) just arrived back to Alberta after a 10 day stay at this property. It was exactly as we had seen in the pictures and we were very happy with the condo. The condo location to the pool was perfect for our little ones and we enjoyed a few pool side BBQ dinners! Being only steps away from the ocean was a huge bonus and the fact that we were just far enough away to not hear the traffic was even better. The beach chairs, towels and toys were appreciated. We recommend this property if you have young children who don't want to walk too far for the pool or ocean. The location was great to many beaches and restaurants in the area. We look forward to returning next year! We also want to thank Steve for allowing us a late check out option with our flight leaving so late in the evening.

What Are Network Topologies?
What Are Network Topologies?
Network Topology refers to layout of a network and how different nodes in a network are connected to each other and how they communicate. This slideshow describes five of the most common network topologies.
1. Mesh Topology: In a mesh network, devices are connected with many redundant interconnections between network nodes. In a true mesh topology every node has a connection to every other node in the network. There are two types of mesh topologies:

- Numeric LED display of sensitivity
- Heated sensor technology
- Ultra sensitive to methane gas
- Long life sensor
- Unique digital leak size alarm

The General Tools CGD900 Gas Leak Detector uses proven heated-sensor technology to detect the presence of most combustible gases, including methane, propane, butane, acetylene, and alcohol and gasoline vapors (see below for a longer list). In addition, its unique front-panel readout indicates the relative size of a gas leak from 1 to 9.
This reading makes it easier to pinpoint the source of a leak and helps you decide whether it is large enough to be worth plugging. The reading, which is independent of the unit's sensitivity level, rises and falls with the amount of combustible gas sensed at the end of the CGD900's 17-inch-long flexible and obedient probe. The maximum value is displayed when the tip of the probe is at the source of the leak.
The CGD900 Detects:
- Methane
- Propane
- Ethane
- Butane
- Hydrogen
- Ethylene
- Ethanol
- ISO-Butane

Casa Amorita
Table Of Contents
Casa Amorita is an intimate Inn located in the heart of Puerto Vallarta on the west coast of Mexico. It is just three blocks from the ocean on a quaint, cobblestone street just behind the majestic Cathedral de Guadalupe. Casa Amorita has a panoramic view of the fourth biggest natural bay in the world... and the Sierra Madre Mountains.
A Pool with a View!
Casa Amorita has the best view of the cathedral in all of Puerto Vallarta. Along the entire front of the property is a cobalt blue, venetian tile pool that goes right into the living room. There is a bar on the roof, a bar in the house, and a swim-up bar in the pool.There are ocean views from every room, skylights, sun decks, terraces, and if you are lucky you can see whales in the ocean when you are relaxing in your room. There is a garden with a bird sanctuary, a fountain, bamboo trees, and plenty of places to hide.
Congratulations to Casa Amorita for being chosen One of the 10 Best Bed and Breakfasts in all of Mexico and the Caribbean by Trip Advisor!
Beautiful Gardens Casa Amorita was designed by local architect, Alejandro Alberto Munoz Plancenia, and hand built by Mexican craftsmen. Decorated in a combination of Mexican, Moorish, Aztec, and Spanish styles accented with ceramics and hand painted tiles. All of the furniture was custom designed by the owner and handcrafted by artisans from Guadalajara. Casa Amorita has five bedrooms, six bathrooms, two fireplaces, sun decks, a roof top terrace, a tropical garden with fountain, and a solarium. Each room has a private balcony, its own bathroom and an area for in-room dining.
Roof-Top Terrace
Enjoy a Delicious Breakfast Each Morning
Tropical Garden with Fountain uerto Vallarta...
The best part about Casa Amorita is that is in Puerto Vallarta. The energy there is great. Sun all the time. Blue water everywhere. Mountains that tumble to the ocean. Church bells ringing, roosters crowing, and music in the air all the time. Not to mention an incredible ocean sunset every single night. After dark, you can enjoy fireworks launched nightly from an old pirate ship in the bay.But the real hook is the people of Vallarta. They are in the groove. Everything is "easy go" all the time. It only takes a few minutes to know you are in another world and what matters is feeling good and having a good time.
Another Quiet Place to Relax Mexican Riviera...
Casa Amorita is located just a short walk to the many cafes and art galleries that give Puerto Vallarta the distinction of being referred to as the Mexican Riviera. The tiny cobblestoned town is intensely colorful with red tile roofs and flowers spilling over balconies and terraces.
If you are in the mood for some excitement, you can power sail, ride horses in the jungle, go deep sea fishing, scuba dive, snorkel, go hot air balooning, mountain biking, or sail to one of the small Polynesian-style villages, which are only accessible by water. Day trips can include a sail to the Marieta Islands for snorkeling and diving, or whale watching from December to May.
If a more relaxing day is your choice, take a walk to the Island on the River Cuale and have lunch at your choice of restaurants or jazz clubs. After lunch, you can stroll to one of the area's countless beaches or shops and boutiques.
Life is short...so come and hide out at Casa Amorita. Bring your friends and their friends.
"I absolutely, whole-heartedly recommend this lovely B&B to any traveler visiting Puerto Vallarta. It is nestled in the crooked and picturesque cobblestone streets of old PV. It is easy walking distance to the beach, shops, cafes, and sites. The views are gorgeous--especially from the pool and rooftop patio. When I stayed there, my friend and I were the only guests and were really treated like family. Rita is amazing--she is friendly and knowledgeable. She gave us some very good restaurant ideas. The area surrounding Casa Amorita is safe and fairly quiet. I was able to sleep with the windows open every night. The only sounds that may be of issue would be from the cathedral located a couple streets away. I actually found the clocktower chimes (gongs?) to be charming, but it's all a matter of taste. I have been thinking about that place a lot lately and may just have to book myself another quiet getaway - I need to recharge my batteries!" Trip Advisor Member, April 2009
"My wife and I stayed at Casa Amorita during our honeymoon. We received fantastic service from Rita and her staff. Our room was very comfortable, with a large comfortable bed, air conditioning, sattelite TV, and a private balcony. The decor was also very tasteful. We enjoyed the close proximity to good restaurants and shopping, and Rita gave us helpful recommendations for dining and entertainment." Trip Advisor Member, September 2009
"From the moment I arrived, Rita and her staff made me feel as if I had found my home away from home. After presenting me with a cold cloth to refresh from my travels, Rita pointed out various points of interest on a map of Puerto Vallarta. During my stay, Rita was always there to recommend and book reservations for everything from dining to tours. As I was traveling solo, she even invited me to hear friends of hers, Beverly and Willow, performing jazz. Casa Amorita is in a great location, steps away from the Malecon(walkway along the ocean) and a nice 15 to 20 minute walk or inexpensive cab ride to everything else; including the beach. The breakfasts at Casa Amorita were delicious and the sunset views from the rooftop terrace were amazing. This B&B is worth every peso! Trip Advisor Member, November 2009
"Wow, wow, wow. Staying at Casa Amorita was such an amazing and wonderful experience from start to finish. Rita (the owner) was on top of everything and made reserving a room and finding the house once we arrived so easy. The place is absolutely beautiful. It was super clean and the decor was really nice. Our room and patio were perfect and the bathroom was nice as well. There was a water pressure problem one day that was resolved quickly and we barely noticed. Still, the best parts of Casa Amorita were the amazing breakfasts and the great staff. Every morning Rita and her staff cooked us such a wonderful and large breakfast that we didn't need to eat lunch during our entire stay. On top of that, Rita did a wonderful job of recommending restaurants and activities that made our days and nights so much fun. PV is a great place to go and Casa Amorita is right in the middle of everything, making it easy to get around. We hope to make it back some day soon. We will never forget our stay!"

Artist:Aaron Neville
Song:Don't Take Away My Heaven
Album:The Very Best Of Aaron Neville
Of course Aaron Neville is a great singer best known as one of the Neville Brothers. He has a strong fanbase now but struggled for years. He was born Jan. 24, 1941 in New Orleans. Aaron first came to prominence with the Allen Toussaint produced hit Tell It Like It is in 1966. But the record company went broke and Aaron never was paid. So in the 70s he continued to tour and record with his brothers in The Meters. Aaron started to get noticed in the late 80s when The Neville Brothers had some hits on A & M Records. But the song that really made him was his duet with Linda Ronstadt called Don't Know Much on her 1989 album Cry Like A Rainstorm-Howl Like The Wind. It reached #2 on the pop charts. Aaron has recorded several solo albums since then including Don't Take Away My Heaven from the 1993 CD The Grand Tour. He hasn't appeared on the pop charts lately but is very popular with older R & B fans. He has a great voice and is as good at country or gospel as he is at R & B. This comp covers his 90s A & M recordings but also includes the original version of Tell It Like It Is. He is currently signed to Sony BMG's Burgundy label and his latest CD Bring It On Home To Me...The Soul Classics was released in Sept. 2006. Here's the video for Don't Take Away My Heaven by Aaron Neville.

This is a MLBB color on me, mauvy neutral. I use this to even out my lip color and to tone down my naturally reddish pink lips. This is great for work and school. It makes me look more polish and the peppermint scent and cooling effect it has on my lips are awesome. I love how this lip product twists up. This is a great buy.

I love this lip color! I'm new to this whole lipstick thing, I never knew what colors went with my skin tone so I just stayed away and settled for lip balms. My friend had this and tried it on me and I loved it! It's a nudey pink. It gives color but is subtle enough to make me feel comfortable wearing it. It is a matte color and can be a bit drying, so I usually apply a lip balm and let that sink into my lips before applying this. I also really love the fact that it's a twist up and I don't have to sharpen it. I also love that it's refreshing and minty.
It's a bit pricey. I wish I would have snagged one of those sets they had around the holidays. I'll keep an eye out for more, I'd like to try different colors.

I love the smell, the feel, and the color . . . Well, on the tube, anyway. I normally go for the nudes, but this color does not look good on me. Too orange. I'm going to exchange it for a different color.
Also, unless I love the next color I get A LOT, I probably won't repurchase because of the price. I don't mind paying top dollar if I'm absolutely in love, but only then.
Besides the color and the price, I like everything else about it.

I got Exposed in a Christmas set with other Lipsurgences, and I have to admit, I would not spend full price on this, BUT I'm very happy with the actual quality of the product.
Exposed is a satiny matte pink-based, nude beige. It looks natural, but polished, and I love the peppermint scent and velvety look and feel of this lipcolor. It's matte, but not heavy and dry. I also like the chubby pencil shape. It's a nice change from the classic lipstick bullet.
The packaging is also pretty and practicalthe tube is the same color as the product, so you can spot it easily in a pile of makeup.
Exposed goes great with my fair skin and dark blonde hair, and it would probably work for a variety of colorings.

I got this color in a set because I refuse to buy just one for 20 something dollars so I bought a set of 5 and the color exposed came with it and I'm so happy it did. It's the perfect nude for my NW-15 skin. I am super pale but when I do a nice purple smokey eye this color looks great with it. I do put a little Buxom gloss over it but it lasts quite a long time and I get a lot of compliments when I wear this color. If your fair skinned this will be great on you.
It lasts through eating and drinking and it doesn't dry my lips or go on streaky at all. In fact the color is smooth and creamy and applies like a dream. It's peppermint scent makes you want to put it on even though I find it's still on. It will last through drinks and snacks but you would need to reapply after a full meal. I think that's pretty good for a matte tint.
I use this color all the time and I really recommend this to fair skinned girls who want a true nude lip. Will repurchase because it is the perfect nude to me.

I dumped this product in the garbage after several months. I tried my best to make it work but it dries my lips out and has poor staying power. And it applies in a streaky manner. And it's just awful to use. One of the few make-up products I actually grew to hate. Sorry, but I wouldn't recommend it. I love the Revlon versions, which I find to be better quality.

This review is for the color Hope. Best lip product ever for me. I am very fair and like a natural look. I normally don't wear lip color because lipstick looks fake and gloss is sticky and messy. This color is just a tad more than my natural lip color, very natural looking. I look nicer while wearing it, and people aren't sure why. Subtle but an improvement. And it is vegan!

I tried this on on my last visit to Sephora. I applied it carefully and conscientiously because I wanted to see how it performed, and a quick dab doesn't hack it when you're road-testing l/s. Anyway, after meandering about the place for some time (I spend HOURS at Sephora) I checked my lips again. To begin with, this is the GENUINE nude. It's only slightly lighter than my natural lips, not the ridiculously unrealistic, Dracula-just-drained-me, beige color I hate so much. This actually looks (gasp!) natural. I cannot speak of longevity since I didn't drink, or eat, or anything like that. It's matte, but not dry-as-spackle matte. So why only 4 lippies? $24 for a lip balm? Too expensive. Other than that, I like it.

the color is probably not suitable / natural looking for tanned - medium skin folks..maybe more so for fairER -'caucasion-LIGHHHT' skin....it just looks like a weird barbie plum pink on me ...ew and photographs that way too... at first i was impressed how soft it made my lips feels... i felt the moisture content.. but soon it wore off..
also it wears more like a lipstick than a tint... if ur oily skin like me, it looks WEIRD to have really matte lips!!!
and it comes off easily when i apply chapstick over...
lastly its frkn EXPENSIVE 31 dollarsss ....not worth it

I absolutely love the color of this lip color. It goes on pretty smooth, but it is a little drying when compared to other shades in the matte line. I just put on a little lip balm about 5 minutes before applying and the dryness issue disappears.
One of my favorite things about this color is that it lasts a very long time. I have a very busy workday and I rarely have time to even think about reapplying lipstick.
I would definitely repurchase this product.

Yahoo aims to strengthen mobile presence with Alike buy
The app is designed to give recommendations based on user favorites
IDG News Service - Yahoo is bidding to strengthen its presence in the increasingly important mobile space with the acquisition of Alike, a location discovery app.
The move comes as Yahoo faces rising pressure to stay relevant and offer mobile products for consumers as it struggles to compete against Google, Facebook and other social networks.
Alike is designed to let users enter a specific location or business into their device, and ithen provides recommendations on places to go that share qualities with the original place.
For instance, a person can enter the name of a boutique, single-origin, small-batch roasted coffee shop in San Francisco, and the app can return a list of similar cafA(c)s in Portland, according to a video posted on the service's website.
"We believe that distilled information, deeply personalized and made accessible anytime and anywhere, is what makes mobile experiences a part of our customers' daily lives," the Alike team posted Tuesday morning on its website.
"In Yahoo we've found a team as excited about this vision as we are, and who are serious about making it real," they said.
The acquisition follows recent remarks by Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer on the importance of mobile in restoring the company's growth.
During the company's fourth-quarter earnings call last month, for instance, Mayer cited the firm's redesigned Flickr iOS app and Yahoo Mail as positive steps for the company, but added that "there's a lot of work still to be done."
In October Yahoo also bought Stamped, a mobile app for recording and sharing recommendations of people's favorite places or things.
But the extent to which the Alike acquisition will allow Yahoo to stake a claim in mobile location discovery remains unclear, given that Alike occupies a similar space as industry stalwarts like Yelp and Foursquare.
Other players in the location discovery space include Facebook's mobile Nearby feature, which recommends places to go based on users' friends, and also Google+ Local, which gives place recommendations based on users' circles, past reviews and current location.
Interestingly, the Alike app's partners have included Foursquare, as well as Yext, Citysearch, Factual, Singleplatform and Sqoot.
As of Tuesday, the Alike applications for both iPhone and the desktop are no longer active, the team reported. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
During the afternoon Yahoo's Mayer will participate in a Q&A with financial analysts at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference in San Francisco.
Yahoo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

WASHINGTON (May 16, 2006)—Pope Benedict XVI accepted the resignation of Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick of Washington and appointed Bishop Donald W. Wuerl of Pittsburgh as his successor.
The Pope accepted the resignation of Bishop Joseph L. Imesch of Joliet, Illinois and named Bishop J. Peter Sartain of Little Rock, Arkansas as Bishop of Joliet.
Archbishop Pietro Sambi, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, made the announcements.
Donald W. Wuerl was born in Pittsburgh on November 12, 1940, and received graduate degrees from the Catholic University of America, the Gregorian University in Rome, and his doctorate in theology from the University of St. Thomas in Rome, in 1974. Ordained to the priesthood on December 17, 1966, he was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Seattle December 3, 1985 and ordained January 6, 1986.
He was installed as the 11th bishop of Pittsburgh on February 12, 1988, where he is spiritual leader of some 800,000 Catholics in 214 parishes throughout southwestern Pennsylvania.
To many, Bishop Wuerl is known from the television program "The Teaching of Christ," broadcast on the Christian Associates cable channel, and through its national syndication. His best-selling adult catechism of the same name, now in its 30th year of publication, has been
translated into more than 10 languages and is used throughout the world. His most recent publication, The Catholic Way, was published by Doubleday in September, 2001.
Bishop Wuerl serves on numerous national and international bodies, is Chairman of the Committee on Catechesis of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), and serves on a number of boards including the Catholic University of America, the North American College in Rome, the National Catholic Bioethics Center, and the Pope John Paul II Intercultural Forum.
He has been honored by numerous organizations, including the National Conference of Christians and Jews, the American Red Cross, and B'nai Zion. He was the recipient of the Elizabeth Ann Seton award from the National Catholic Educational Association for his ongoing work as a teacher and educator.
Theodore Edgar McCarrick was born in New York City on July 7, 1930. He received his elementary and high school education at Incarnation School and Fordham Preparatory School, both in New York City.
He studied for the priesthood at the New York Archdiocesan Seminary, St. Joseph's, in Yonkers, New York, and was ordained a priest on May 31, 1958.
After ordination, Father McCarrick pursued studies at the Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C., and the Catholic University of Puerto Rico. He then served at Catholic University as assistant chaplain, dean of students and director of development.
Monsignor McCarrick returned to the Archdiocese of New York to serve as associate secretary for education from 1969 to 1971, and then secretary to the Archbishop, Servant of God Cardinal Terence Cooke, from 1971 to 1977.
He was named Titular Bishop of Rusibisir and Auxiliary Bishop of New York on May 24, 1977, and ordained a bishop on June 29.
Cardinal McCarrick was named the first bishop of the diocese of Metuchen, New Jersey, on November 19, 1981, Archbishop of Newark on May 30, 1986, and Archbishop of Washington on November 21, 2000. He was installed as Archbishop of Washington on January 4, 2001.
He was elevated to the College of Cardinals on February 21, 2001.
Cardinal McCarrick has served on numerous committees of the USCCB. He has chaired those on Migration, International Policy, and Aid to the Church in Central and Eastern Europe. He has also served as Chairman of the Task Force on Catholic Bishops and Politicians.
The Archdiocese of Washington comprises the District of Columbia and Montgomery, Prince George's, St. Mary's, Calvert and Charles Counties, Maryland. It has a Catholic population of approximately 579,000 out of a total population of 2.6 million.
The Province of Washington has as a Suffragan the Diocese of St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands.
The new Bishop of Joliet, James Peter Sartain, was born in Memphis on June 6, 1952. He attended local Catholic elementary and secondary schools. He began preparations for the priesthood at St. Meinrad Seminary, Indiana, and completed them at the North American College in Rome, where he attended the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum). He was ordained a priest of the diocese of Memphis on July 15, 1978.

Hangar 24 Chocolate Porter | |||||||||||||||
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Rich and decadent. This strong porter is perfect for sipping at the end of the day or to accompany full-flavored foods. The intense, roasty flavor comes from two types of chocolate malt and raw cocoa nibs. Whole vanilla beans introduced post fermentation add complexity and enhance the dessert-like qualities of this full bodied beer. Indulge yourself! Additional Information: This beer began life as our Panamanian Porter with the flavors of chocolate, vanilla and banana. A truly unique beer, we felt that all those flavors needed some smoothing out so we changed yeast strains and eliminated the banana flavor (Which came from the yeast strain). The Panamanian Porter did have many fans however, and there may be plans in the future to bring it back for a special occasion. Stay tuned

I was sold on this when I heard the concept. There's a massive gap for this and I knew that Big X Top would do it justice in terms of design and construction. What makes the mini messenger so extra special is that it doesn't have to be so mini with the roll-top construction add that to the sternum strap normally only found on larger messengers and you have a really functional bag!

Beach towels are different from other towels in that they are usually thicker, fluffier and thicker. They are meant to give comfort to people who go to the beach. They are also larger than the bath towel. They should be very absorbent and soft so you feel comfortable when you dry off.
There are different kinds of beach towels. There are normal and multipurpose beach towels. There are also beach towels that are called convertible beach towels. They can be converted into backpacks, totes, sleeping bags, deck chair covers and auto seat covers. These towels may have pockets and should be easier to close during windy conditions.
Beach towels are made of different materials. They can made of cotton, terrycloth, fleece and linen.
Beach towels are used for reason at the beach. They could be used to wipe oneself after you go swimming. They could be used to clearing sand from your body. They can be pretty comfortable to lay on while you sunbath and relax.
These are some beach towels that you can buy.
You could be the beach towels called the Jacquard Brights Towel. It comes in bright canary yellow and is very big. It measures 35 inches by 60 inches. You can also get these beach towels in orange.
One of the beach towels that you can buy is the Cabana Stripes Beach Towel. They are supposed to combine quality and style. They are very large. They are 30 inches by 60 inches. They have double velour finish that is supposed to give these beach towels a sheen. They are striped so they usually come in more than one color. They could come in the colors pink/white, green/white, blue/white and orange/white.

More Than 160 Cats Removed From Home
More than 160 cats have been removed from a home in west Edmonton, only nine of which were healthy enough to survive.
Shawna Randolph of the Edmonton Humane society says they're catching the cats in hopes of saving them.
"[We're] checking to see if the humane cat traps that have [been] set there have captured a cat and if so, bringing the cats back to the shelter," Randolph said.
The man who lived in the Grovener area house co-operated in handing the cats over.
The Humane Society now has the key to the house.
"Most of the cats that have been removed have been skittish, but these even more so," Randolph said. "They are hiding in any nook and cranny that they can find inside the home."

She looks so cute! I just love her bold orange shirt and her dark, brownish shorts. Her dark-brown boots with the white on top look sweet. I especially like the purple part of her top and her azure hairstyle. Lovely amethyst eyes and bg. 5/5 hearts.
VERY VERY cute!!! I LOVE the colours you used in this and her shiney hair!! 5h
The colors are good and the pic itself is not so bad but the head is to big and the hands need work.

I hope everyone remembers this in November when Raul Salinas runs in November.He works for mexico always has and always will.we need a mayor who going to work FOR US because who is paying him?Thats right WE ARE!There needs to be a law like AZ in every single state!I would not be offended if they were to ask me for my docs. If anythong it makes me feel safer.and the mexicans who are trying to come in to the US the correct way should be for the law as well because it is not fair to them either that they are making an effort to come in legally and then you have these idiots wanting to come in the easy way.
JT said on Sunday, May 23 at 11:40 PM
To: and by the way JT wrote You are accusing me of not knowing how to write well??!! You left out a verb in the first line you wrote, and you also have a comma splice. Educate yourself. Typical whining liberal. You don't give any facts; you just respond with emotion. The only one writing stupidities is you. You're the one that sounds uneducated. You can't even write, and you don't know grammar. I went to a university that is not populated by liberal professors who hate their country and blame the US for everything. I didn't take classes with stinking hippies from the 60's. I also served my country in uniform, proving my love for it. Debating with you is not even dignified. Learn to write first.

Johnson said on Saturday, May 22 at 12:15 AM
where are the cartels getting these weapons? those are the same weapons, equipment, helicopters and funds that the inteligent Mr. Henry Cuellar sent to the Mexican government in the form known as the "Merida Initiative".
Dj said on Friday, May 21 at 11:52 PM
To and you.There are conditions why Im regretfully unable to serve, if not you can bet I would.Don't misinterprit my words,Im in no-way pointing the gun at veterans in fact in stateting the injustice to them if we allow mexico to influence the law. As for the free ride,if you live in Laredo you know whos recieving food stamps,medicade and houseing. Heres proof, Remember when the houseing authority started requireing proof of citizenship in order to qualify for an application for houseing. Who were the ones to protest in front of the houseing autoritys office. That shows thier mentality that if its not handed to them they'll take it by force like they always do. They even forced thier way into the country... And even with my condition I still work,pay my mortgage, car payment, insurance and won't accept government handouts because I know that tere are people that need it more than I do. Oh and I too am a mexican-american the key word AMERICAN. oh and thank you for serving.

How come you did not serve and went to war. Now you try to point the gun to the veterans ?? I am a war veteran. and a Mexican-American who does not like to be treated as a foreigner in my own country. specially by people who did not served the United States and suffered for others so they can have a free ride.
Dj said on Friday, May 21 at 9:08 PM
Has anybody stopped to think how disrespectfull this subject is towards the veterans? The veterans that faught,killed and some even died to protect the soverenty of this country meaning the right to set forth laws and enforcing them. The fact that a foreign country is threatening to cause harm wheather it be physical,economical or any other kind should be taken as an ack of aggression and sanctions should be levied against said foreing government. As being a proud grandson of a Korean conflict veteran and son of a Vietnam veteran I find this very sad if the veteran administration and every true american in this country sits by and let them basicaly laugh at the price they payed. Try telling the millions of veterans the thier sacrifice means nothing, that thier disabilitating injurries were for nothing.Since were letting a foreign country dictating what laws can be enforced. We need to call our "leaders" out on this and put them in the spotlight,in honor of our veterans

Yes you are RIGHT, what you forgot that the Republican party is not the same party and does not have the same party members, they are all dead. today's Republican party is a nest for the old democratic racists that switched to the Republican side. specially in the south. You are all mexicans like it or not. I will like to see again the texas rangers in Laredo and stop and ask for papers to all, and you will learn what racism is. laredo does nor experience racism, Laredo is full of people who does not have an identity. They are not Anglos and some does not want to be called Mexicans. but the Anglos will always call you a Mexican. like it or not.

What we need is the same law as Az. in all the states of this nation.I would'nt mind it at all if any official was to stop me and ask me for my papers,I have nothing to fear I am a proud U.S citizen and veteran.As for the illegals,why don't they understand that coming across the border illegally they are breaking the law and are considered criminals.

To: He was right and it hurt. Racist Republicans? It was the democrats that supported slavery. It was the democrats that OPPOSED the civil rights act, passed by republicans. it was the democrats that wanted the schools in the south segregated. It was a Republican president who sent troops to the south to escort the black students into class. Educate yourself before you post stupidities on this blog. We don't oppose President Obama because he is black. We oppose him because of his radical socialist agenda.

You're right , AMERICAN weapons . If you look and ASK what type of weapons are being seized in Mexico , they will tell you the same one Mexican miltary uses . Where does the Mexican miltary get their weapons ? HALLO . Now the United States will not let Mexico get to another Iraq because we didn't let Colombia fall and we're headed in the same direction with Mexico . We will tell Mexico , not ASK Mexico to step aside and we will settle this matter and let the DTO who are U.S friendly to survive . Sounds crazy , prove me wrong . Fearmongering never works sir , unless you're Karl Rove .
Henry Cuellar said on Friday, May 21 at 12:04 PM
Your congressman is the one that was to be given those statements instead the Mexican President. But seems that the people in Laredo do not want to face the reality that we have a congressman that is not qulified to represent the Laredo area. and is there for pure luck.
You are wrong !! said on Friday, May 21 at 11:32 AM
The Mexican president did not tell the congress what to do, you need to understand the message, the American weapons that are flowing to Mexico are going to come back with the drug dealers. not doub about it, those American weapons are already killing a lot of inocent people, and they might one day get used to topple the Mexican government, if that happens.. The United States are going to have another irak next door. Unless you dont care for The United States security..Is too easy to say crazy statements like you did.

The president of Mexico was wrong , but I'm pretty sure he was given the ok by the White House to go ahead and get that speech . I believe I would have stayed seated too . Many heads of states give speeches all the time , but , none tell the United States that our way of life and our laws are wrong . What's next , the ruler of Iran to come in and give a lecture to us for condeming him . I believe we need to get our backbone back and stop saying we're sorry for everything we've done . Mr Mexican president , train and pay your law enforcement personnel so they will fight for you and not go aganist you .
And ..yes said on Friday, May 21 at 9:30 AM
Those weapons are the ones you hear across the river once in a while and then people start calling the LPD "help" help" "help" this is the degree of stupidity for some laredoans that think that because the Racist Republicans did not applause they know better, They are thousands of miles from Laredo. They dont know you and if you are brown they care less.
This is not new said on Friday, May 21 at 9:21 AM
During the Mexican Revolution (1910-1930) yes up to 1030 and probably beyond, millions of weapons were sold to any "revolutionary" and Government alike. There is a lot of money in arms dealing. The difference is that now.. Top of the line brand new weapons are being sold by American Arms dealers to the Narco-Cartels. like the 50 caliber rifle. not even the mexican Army uses those rifles. If you had been in the U. S Army or Marines you know the firepower of those weapons. what is worrysome is what type of weapons are being sold next. you think about it.
To Ya Basta said on Friday, May 21 at 8:46 AM
You are not being stereotype. YOU ARE BEING TARGETED. Because you are Brown. Millions of Mexicans and Mexican Americans had been in your situation for the last 170 years dont worry, Laredo is a Mexican Town, and los cagados que se creen gabachos they are in the same situation you are. In the north is another story.
Who sells those weapons ?? said on Friday, May 21 at 8:35 AM
First our American weapons dealers sell those weapons to any cartel, making millions of dollars then we blame and cry because the violence in Mexico, because they have those weapons. Seems that we Americans are so stupid that we dont even want face the problems we have.
He was right, and it hurts said on Friday, May 21 at 8:30 AM
It is incredible the amount of weapons that are being sold to the cartels, The US needs to do something before the get stung with by their own people. If you blind yourself by looking at the Racist Republicans not supporting Obama because he is black, Dont expect a better future.
trip said on Friday, May 21 at 7:59 AM
wow another trip and no money in the budget laredo watch out here it comes more TAXES.
JT said on Friday, May 21 at 7:48 AM
It was an outrage that our congress got a lecture from their own floor, and the liberal democrats stood up and applauded, including Henry Cuellar. The only congressmen and women who love their country are the ones that remained in their seats, don't blame America first, and are for LEGAL immigration. What a bunch of pathetic, shameless weasels! I appeal to all conservatives in Congressional district 28. Let's support Henry Cuellar's opponent in November. I don't know what we can do about Mayor Salinas except vote him out and replace him with someone who doesn't pander to Mexico.
observer said on Friday, May 21 at 5:03 AM
Calderon has done such a fine job as president of Mexico he can now tell the USA how to be run (not) He put a stop to the drug cartel (not) He put an end to all the murders (not) So his dress-down of how our states operate is valid (not)
legal resident said on Friday, May 21 at 4:50 AM
The core of the matter is Calderon is looking out for himself, he is desperate to keep those people here and working. more than 21 billion dollars is being sent back to Mexico. Hopefully the voters in November will remember all those that gave Calderon a standing ovation and vote them out of office.
YA BASTA said on Friday, May 21 at 1:45 AM
(PART 3) I am Hispanic, I am first generation, and I also fall on the stereotype that brown is bad. All because of these illegals.
(PART 2)That is why Mexico does not respect the United States. Now Calderon goes to the White House and to Congress and tells them basically that all the problems Mexico has are the U.S. fault. The worst thing is that our leaders applauded him. Bunch of hypocrites. We need to get rid of this "pobrecito Mexico" attitude and work to help our people here in the United States. In regards to Immigration, Calderon feels that his people should be treated with dignity and respect. The same respect they gave to the borderline when they entered the United States without permission. The reason they do it, does not justify the crime. I bet that if a person breaks in to your house in the middle of the night or when you are not home, you will not be at all pleased. Ni que fueran la Goldilocks!!! Thousands of people are waiting to legalize and these law breakers want an easy break. Go back home and to the end of the line.
YA BASTA said on Friday, May 21 at 1:44 AM
Raul Salinas catering to Mexico as usual. No government official here or in Washington has the guts to say it like it is. The guns go into Mexico because there is demand for guns What does the 'Aduana " in Mexico do? Nothing. The problem is very simple. Most of our city, state and federal leaders are pro-Mexico because of the so called "benefits" we get from Mexican shoppers. None of these leaders want to offend Mexican politicians and tell them that it is their fault that Mexico is in the shambles it is now. Mexicans will NOT stop shopping in the United States because what they have in Mexico to buy (clothing, groceries etc) lacks quality, quality that they find and want in U.S. products. In regards people shopping in Laredo, well that is not going to happen. Only the dollar stores and the "chinito" stores downtown sell. Why? The place looks awful. Old buildings that needed to be refurbished 10 years ago. No eye candy for the shoppers but mucho catering to the Mexican shoppers.
Tazed-n-Confuzed said on Thursday, May 20 at 10:34 PM
Wow another 1st class trip to Washington, 5 star hotel....WOW City public footing the bill.c'mon we had better seats here in Laredo watching it from the comfort from our homes...Why couldn't he stay home an watch it...not like he had ANY input or had questions to ask or answer questions, he wasn't going to address the house??? pinche frequent flyer miles are racking up...
LaredoKid said on Thursday, May 20 at 10:34 PM
Raulito has been a huge disappointment as mayor. He ran as pro-law enforcement, rule of law, former federal agent(FBI) who was going to enforce our laws and stand for the United States, unfortunately it appears his heart & soul belong to old mexico. It's going to be a tough race for him in november if he keeps up this pro-illegal alien rhetoric.
Rafa said on Thursday, May 20 at 10:33 PM
The mayor is a clown. He should be telling Mexico to fix their own problems instead of being critical of a state trying to protect itself.
Big O said on Thursday, May 20 at 10:33 PM
He sounds more like the mayor of Nuevo Laredo than the mayor of an american city.

"Dragonfly Lamp" ,16" x 12" acrylic on canvas board, 5-12-2012
muy bonito, me imagino que es una lámpara por el cordón atrás. me gusta el volumen de la base y la transparencia de donde van las bombillas
very nice, I imagine it´s a lam because of the cord in the back. I like the volume of the base and the transparency of where the lightbulbs go
Thank you, Jim. Yes, it is a lamp. I did not get the wood grain the way it should be. I will have to work on doing wood grain.
Nice job and agree that the wood table can be better.
Thank you, phio
...........wonderful work!!!!!
Thank you, MakVady
I like it, maybe add a few more "holes" into the shadow?
Thanks, Christina. There was not a good shadow on the wall so I made one up. Yes, I think you are right about the holes, would show the shadow of the leaves, ect.

hole in backsplash
Hello. Does anyone have any advice on how to patch a 8" x 4" hole in our tile backsplash.
We had a very futuristic 50s wall mount faucet there, and when the plumber replaced it for a sink mount he left a big gaping hole. So I imagine I have to somehow patch the sheetrock first? Does it require greenboard? There is a 1.5" stud exposed running across almost the middle of the space. Do I somehow screw or nail the board to it? Any help appreciated. Thanks. |

Use a similar wallboard to what's there already. If it's an older home, you may run across a wallboard that's an unusual thickness - sometimes 1/8th of an inch thicker than what you can get now. You can sandwich a slice of thin plywood or other material behind your patch to bring everything flush with the existing surface.
Using a drywall saw, clean up the edges of your hole. Cut a patch out of drywall material that is slightly smaller than the hole - you want it to just set in there easily - it doesn't have to be a tight fit. Using drywall screws, (not nails or any other type of screws) screw your patch to the stud. You want the patch well supported. Control your driver - you want the screwheads to just dimple in beneath the surface of the wallboard - they shouldn't be proud of the surface or be too deep. Using drywall mud (not spackle or caulk), fill the gaps and the screw divots. Scrape the surface smooth with a wide putty knife, and let it dry overnight. The mud will shrink. Come back the next day, sand the area, apply another coat. Let dry, sand and repeat. At this point, you should be ready for paint. If you're tiling, you don't have to make the surface perfect, just one or two coats of mud should do the trick. |
