Pro Makeup Artist how-to: choose and use eye colour
Pro Makeup Artist how-to: choose and use eye colour
FashioNZ's Pro Makeup Artist Ashlee Kellett tells how to choose and add the perfect colour to your lids...
Dear Ashlee
I do not usually wear makeup but I have started to put some on before I go out. How do I add some colour to my eye lids without it looking tacky? - Tracey
The best way to show off what you've got is to work with what you've got and that means accentuating. All eye colours can look amazing with just the right shadow colours. Start off lightly at first and get used to wearing colours, even if you start with a little coloured eyeliner then work your way up to the brighter eye shadow colours.
Choosing the colours is the most important element; once you've got the colours then start experimenting on yourself. Remember, a little at first, then build up slowly.
For brown eyes
Brown eyes are the easiest to complement. Unlike other eye colours, baby browns can get away with dashes of colour without looking tacky and the possibilities are endless. For brown eyes to stand out, choose shades of blue, purple, gold, burnt oranges and gray. To really make your dark eyes pop, use white liner on the inside of your bottom lid and regular black or brown liner on top. While this makeup trick is also used to make small eyes appear bigger, with dark eyes, white liner creates an ethereal look.
For Blue Eyes
An all too common mistake is using blue colours that are close to the original shade of the iris itself. This can result in making blue eyes appear dull. To brighten up dull blue eyes or emphasise piercing shades of blue, opt for taupe, lavender, camel, lilac and other shades of brown and purple to make your eyes appear bluer than they really are.
For Hazel Eyes
Hazel eyes are already easy to fall in love with, but using splashes of makeup colours can make your eyes even sultrier. Use eye shadows in shades such as lavender, deep mauve, pink, plum and eggplant. To create a more dramatic look, apply a deep/darker shade to your crease, using a slightly upward and outward motion.
For Green Eyes
To make your green eyes appear greener and even sexier, wear shades of brownish-pinks, salmon, mauve and purple. One effective makeup application tip is to use lighter colours on the upper and lower lid, while using a darker complementary colour on your crease. By softly blending these colours together you can create a smoky or dramatic look.
Happy colouring!
Ashlee Kellett

Conservation of Paper
Because of natural chemical processes that can attack and degrade paper, librarians and conservationists rely on chemical strategies to preserve our written heritage.
Few of us spend a great deal of time pondering the chemistry of paper. Perhaps when having a piece of artwork, a diploma, or an award framed, the option of having an "archival quality" acid free 100 percent cotton rag mat may be mentioned. When looking through a box of mementos, we notice that newspaper clippings from our youth or from the lives of older relatives are yellowed and fragile, but that simply seems to be an indication of the age of the information. For universities, librarians, and government laboratories as well as the pulp and paper industries, the question of how to preserve our written heritage takes on a very important and very chemical focus.
Paper degrades due to several different types of chemical reactions. First, acid that is present from the paper-making process or introduced from the atmosphere attacks the cellulose in paper fibers, which weakens the polymers and makes the paper more brittle. In a second process, atmospheric oxidation discolors white paper turning it yellow or brown over time.
To address the more critical issue of acid damage, mass deacidification processes are designed to neutralize the acid in the paper and add an extra residue of a weak base to prevent future acidification as a means of halting the degradation process. One of the challenges of creating such a process is that since water tends to swell the paper fibers, it is generally avoided in the process. Most of the various deacidification methods involve a neutralizing agent such as diethyl zinc or magnesium oxide suspended in either a gas or a highly volatile solvent to allow the treatment agent to diffuse throughout the book.
Paper that has severely deteriorated and is falling apart can be strengthened by treating it with several different monomers which create new polymers that integrate with the paper's cellulose, thus strengthening the paper. Because those methods are irreversible, they are substituted by laborious processes using handmade papers and natural adhesives for the most precious archives such as the Magna Carta, signed in 1215 A.D. But both options are important for the preservation of our written and illustrated past.
Advice from the Library of Congress about how to preserve paper artifacts can be found at http://www.loc.gov/preservation/care/paper.html

MLB All-Star Game 2012 Lineups: Which League Has the More Lethal Team?
As Michael Buffer always says, "Let's get ready to rumble!"
The 83rd MLB All-Star Game is ready to take center stage Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, and the starting lineups for each team are both extremely formidable in nature.
With plenty of punch in each roster, it may come down to which team can get off the mat quickly after suffering a blow.
Here is the tale of the tape.
Catcher: Buster Posey vs. Mike Napoli
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
Posey 2012 Stats: 10 HR, 43 RBI, .289 BA, .820 OPS
Napoli 2012 Stats: 12 HR, 30 RBI, .228 BA, .759 OPS
This is the first All-Star selection for both catchers.
Posey is coming back nicely from a broken leg and cartilage damage suffered in a home-plate collision with Scott Cousins last year. Posey continually gets credit from his pitchers for his handling of them during the game and his pitch-calling skills.
Napoli is coming off a career year in which he hit .320 with 30 home runs. Unfortunately, he has come nowhere near that this year, more likely being rewarded by the fans for his performance last season.
Advantage: Posey
First Base: Joey Votto vs. Prince Fielder
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
2012 Votto Stats: 14 HR, 48 RBI, .348 BA, 1.087 OPS
2012 Fielder Stats: 15 HR, 63 RBI, .299 BA, .885 OPS
What Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto has been able to do thus far in 2012 makes him worthy of collecting his second NL MVP Award. Votto has 35 doubles, on pace to collect the most two-baggers in the National League since Earl Webb set the record with 67 back in 1931. His 1.087 OPS leads the majors as well.
Fielder hasn't been a slouch in his first year in Detroit. While his home run production is slightly down at pitcher-friendly Comerica Park, he has still been a force offensively.
But his numbers pale in comparison to Votto.
Advantage: Votto
Second Base: Robinson Cano vs. Dan Uggla
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
Cano 2012 Stats: 20 HR, 51 RBI, .313 BA, .953 OPS
Uggla 2012 Stats: 12 HR, 45 RBI, .221 BA, .746 OPS
With multiple All-Star appearances for both starters, second base is well represented in this year's All-Star Game.
Cano shook off a bit of a slow start to once again put up monster numbers, while Uggla didn't quite get off to the rocky start that marked the beginning of his 2011 campaign, but is still only hitting .221.
Can Cano shake off the horrible greeting from Royals fans on Monday night after not selecting hometown favorite Billy Butler for the Home Run Derby?
I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Advantage: Cano
Shortstop: Derek Jeter vs. Rafael Furcal
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
2012 Jeter Stats: 7 HR, 25 RBI, .308 BA, .765 OPS
2012 Furcal Stats: 5 HR, 36 RBI, .275 BA, .701 OPS
Jeter is making his 13th All-Star appearance, and, at the age of 38, is again putting up Jeter-like numbers. His 111 hits lead the American League, and he continues climbing up the charts in the record books across the board.
Furcal is making his third All-Star appearance and was a major force early on in the 2012 season for the St. Louis Cardinals. He has cooled considerably, however, hitting just .176 in the month of June and .229 thus far in July.
Advantage: Jeter
Third Base: Adrian Beltre vs. Pablo Sandoval
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
Beltre 2012 Stats: 15 HR, 54 RBI, .326 BA, .881 OPS
Sandoval 2012 Stats: 8 HR, 30 RBI, .307 BA, .862 OPS
Beltre is making his third consecutive appearance at the All-Star Game, and his numbers thus far certainly warrant his start. Beltre has become a driving force in the middle of the order for the Texas Rangers and brings Gold Glove defense on the field.
Sandoval was a surprise starter at third for the National League, having missed over a month with a broken hamate bone in his hand. Nonetheless, fans wanted the Panda there, so he got the nod over David Wright at the hot corner.
Not so in this rundown.
Advantage: Beltre
Left Field: Josh Hamilton vs. Ryan Braun
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Hamilton 2012 Stats: 27 HR, 75 RBI, .308 BA, 1.016 OPS
Braun 2012 Stats: 24 HR, 61 RBI, .306 BA, .990 OPS
This may just be the best individual matchup in the entire lineup.
Hamilton leads the league in homers, runs batted in, slugging percentage and OPS. Although he has cooled since a blazing start, Hamilton has remained healthy for the most part and will again look to direct his Rangers back to the World Series.
Braun has certainly been no slouch either, leading the NL with 24 homers and still providing huge numbers despite not having Prince Fielder for protection in the Brewers lineup.
It's a close call, but Hamilton squeaks out the win here.
Advantage: Hamilton
Center Field: Curtis Granderson vs. Melky Cabrera
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
Granderson 2012 Stats: 23 HR, 48 RBI, .248 BA, .853 OPS
Cabrera 2012 Stats: 8 HR, 44 RBI, .353 BA, .910 OPS
Granderson is again delivering power for the New York Yankees after swatting a career-high 41 homers last year. In fact, he is on pace to surpass that number this season.
Cabrera's first year by the Bay has been magical—a league-leading 119 hits, second in the league in batting, all while infusing life into a previously anemic Giants offense.
Advantage: Cabrera
Right Field: Jose Bautista vs. Carlos Beltran
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
Bautista 2012 Stats: 27 HR, 65 RBI, .244 BA, .899 OPS
Beltran 202 Stats: 20 HR, 65 RBI, .296 BA, .924 OPS
Bautista shook off a very slow start to the 2012 season and is now tied for the major league in home runs with Josh Hamilton at 27.
Beltran has been everything the Cardinals have asked for and more. Signed to help replace the offense left behind by the departure of Albert Pujols, Beltran's production has done just that, leading the Cardinals to the top of the National League in offense.
Advantage: Beltran
Designated Hitter: David Ortiz vs. Carlos Gonzalez
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
Ortiz 2012 Stats: 22 HR, 57 RBI, .312 BA, 1.013 OPS
Gonzalez 2012 Stats: 17 HR, 58 RBI, .330 BA, .967 OPS
Ortiz is making his eighth All-Star appearance, and is once again putting up monster numbers at the age of 36. His 25 doubles and 22 home runs have him on pace for a possible 50/40 combo, a rarity in Major League Baseball.
Gonzalez is making his debut at the All-Star Game this year, but the numbers certainly warrant his placement on the team. Gonzalez leads the league in runs scored and is in the top 10 in the NL in home runs, runs batted in and batting average.
Experience edges youth in this one.
Advantage: Ortiz
Starting Pitcher: Justin Verlander vs. Matt Cain
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Verlander 2012 Stats: 9-5, 2.58 ERA, 5 CG, 0.95 WHIP
Cain 2012 Stats: 9-3, 2.62 ERA, 2 CG, 0.956 WHIP
You can't get much more evenly matched than Verlander and Cain in terms of 2012 statistics.
Verlander's five complete games leads the league, and his 128 strikeouts also puts him on top.
Cain's two shutouts are best in the National League, and his perfect game on June 13 was an absolute work of art.
This one is tough, but I have to give Mr. Perfect the nod only because he will be more comfortable throwing to his battery mate, Buster Posey.
Advantage: Cain
American League vs. National League: Tale of the Tape
This is about as evenly matched as you can get between two teams and their starting lineups.
Five AL starters have an advantage, but five NL starters also have an edge. In terms of power and pop, the American League gets the edge, but the National League has superior hitters who can use the expansive real estate at Kauffman Stadium to their advantage.
Scorecard Decision: American League in a controversial split decision.

Although FSX is my main sim, whenever I use FS9 I remember how good it is and all the great addons I have, some pay and loads and loads of freeware, mainly the old payware from the likes of Virtavia (alphasim) and IRIS which is now free. FS9 is still a great sim and I believe to this day there are still more addons for it than FSX despite all the mainstream publishers converting years ago.
Any way I'm looking for a good 747-400 (I already have the RFP-200), a 737NG and an A320 (family), all freeware as I have told myself to only pay for FSX addons.
My FS9 payware collection goes:
Captain Sim 707
Just FLight Traffic 2005 (absolutely great, still worth getting though it's a bit dated with 727s still in mainstream service)
Wilco 737 PIC classic
Various CLS Airbus and MD widebodies
so I have shortage of modern short haul jets, if anyone knows any please shout!
I still have quite an extensive knowledge and collection of addons so if anyone wants advice I may be able to help too
I may start a scenery thread in a few days

Marvel makes cinematic history as it unites the super hero team-up of a lifetime. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and Captain America (Chris Evans) assemble together for the very first time ever in this epic, action-packed blockbuster alongside Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). Director Joss Whedon creates an unprecedented universe that has become a global phenomenon. Packed with spectacular visual effects, and exclusive bonus features, including Marvel's first-ever gag reel, never-before-seen Marvel short, and an interactive second screen experience, Marvel's The Avengers will blow your mind!
Marvel Studios delivers the ultimate comic-book film, which ties together such characters as Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) for a big-screen franchise team-up like no other. Taking center stage this time is Nick Fury (played once again by the note-perfect Samuel L. Jackson), leader of the peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury, along with former Russian spy Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), recruits a super team to combat Thor's ever-deceptive brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) after he brainwashes ace archer Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) while stealing a cosmic cube from an underground base. Thus the heroes must learn to work together alongside outlaw scientist Bruce Banner (Ruffalo), who can track down the artifact's gamma signals when he's not hulking out into a giant green monster. Show runner Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly) adapted and helmed the script by Zak Penn. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

In the last couple of months, for some reason, I've had more than a few people ask about what books they should read about business, technology and entrepreneurship. I keep meaning to put together a list -- though, I recently realized I rarely read any of those types of books. I try to, but it's rare I can find one that's worthwhile. So, the good news is that Andy Kessler has come up with his own set of books worth reading (and those not worth reading) that does a good job covering the basics. The ones I'd add to his list are The Innovator's Dilemma by Clayton Christensen and High Stakes, No Prisoners by Charles Ferguson for anyone who has started, or wants to start, their own company. Christensen's books highlight some very important ideas about innovation trends that make sense once you read them -- but still seem so difficult to recognize in practice (until, of course, it's too late). Ferguson's book has always struck me as one of the more honest books about starting up a company. Also, since Andy seems too modest to mention it -- all three of his books are absolutely worth reading: Wall Street Meat, Running Money and How We Got Here. All three get extra points for not only being informative and insightful, but funny and entertaining at the same time -- something not necessarily true of all the other worthwhile books out there. Of course, it's amazing just how differently people can view the same book -- and there are books that have been recommended to me over and over again that I read and wonder what the fuss is about -- and I'm sure the same is true for books I recommend to people as well. So, it might be interesting to hear what books people here like... and why they found them useful.

The Hole in the Parachute
That book has been "recommended" for like 20 years -- though I don't see what the fuss is about. It asks very crude, simplistic questions about your interests, e.g. "Are you an outgoing person? Yes/No"
As if crude questions like that could tell us what we are cut out for? The book does not provide any insight into the less-publicized, but very marketable occupations out there; everything is just centered around "business".
Business people seem to live in a bubble world of assuming that everyone wants to become a businessman, or start their own business, but that view is not shared by the majority of the population. -

A case of prostate cancer with cyst formation | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 11692605 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
A 73-year-old man with the complaint of dysuria of 2 years' standing was admitted to our hospital for further examination of an intrapelvic cystic mass, 8.6 cm in diameter, detected incidentally by abdominal ultrasonography. The serum concentration of prostate specific antigen (PSA) was elevated to 44.9 ng/ml. Pelvic computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a cystic mass with an irregular thick cyst wall posterior to the urinary bladder originating from the prostate. Transrectal needle biopsy presented a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the prostate. The bloody fluid of the cyst obtained by transperineal aspiration contained a significantly increased level of PSA, but no cancer cells were detected by cytological examination. Total prostatectomy was performed under the diagnosis of clinical stage C (cT3N0M0) prostate cancer. Pathological diagnosis was that cancer cells were present in the prostate tissue and had partly infiltrated the cyst wall. These results suggest that the present cyst was associated with the development of prostate cancer as a pseudocyst without an epithelial lining. The patient has remained free from the disease for over ten months. We review 56 cases of this rare condition that have been reported in Japan. |

MCI Dedicated to Tasmania
07-Feb-2012 | MCI, the world's largest global meeting and event management agency with 1,500 staff in 47 offices in 23 countries has merged with Convention Wise in a move that indicates MCI's faith in Tasmania as an important business event destination.
This move over time will bring significant economic and employment benefit to Tasmania's meetings and event industry.Convention Wise (formerly known as Mures Conventions and situated in the Mures restaurant complex at Constitution Dock, Hobart) has been part of the convention tradition in Tasmania for over twenty years). Owner Phil Holmes AMM, AFMEA is well known as the former Tasmanian Chair of Meetings and Events Australia and for his long service as a national director of that peak industry body.
Phil Holmes said that "Tasmania can be justifiably proud of Convention Wise's impressive track record but the merger allows it to significantly expand Tasmania's meetings potential and expose it to MCI's global standards. Our current clients will benefit from MCI's global strength and experience and Tasmania will gain greater opportunities from the international exposure with the global company."
MCI Australia Managing Director Ray Shaw AMM,AFMEA said "We now have the operations talent on the ground to deliver up to 1,000 pax meetings to Tasmania - Phil Holmes and the crew now have the support of our 60 plus Australia team and the rest of MCI's world talent and product practices."

High Arsenic Levels In Apple Juice, Grape Juice Samples, Consumer Reports Finds
Arsenic levels in some apple juice and grape juice samples tested higher than what's considered safe, according to a study by Consumer Reports.
The study found that 10 percent of the sampled juices contained arsenic levels higher than the 10 parts per billion regulation for drinking water set by the Food and Drug Administration, according to a FOX News analysis of the results. Researchers measured 88 samples of apple and grape juices from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
A majority of the arsenic found in the samples was the inorganic or "harmful" kind.
Several apple juice brands had at least one sample with harmful arsenic levels, including Apple & Eve, Walmart's Great Value, and Mott's. Walgreens brand and Welch's grape juices both contained more than the standard amount, according to Consumer Reports.
The concern lies in the harmful, chronic effects that high arsenic levels can have on younger children, many of whom already drink more juice than is recommended by doctors.
"The fear is that over time arsenic will accumulate in children's bodies and raise their risk of cancer and other serious illnesses," Dr. Urvashi Rangan told NBC's "Today."
Dr. Mehmet Oz came under fire from the FDA in September after he aired results of a similar study on his show. The FDA pointed out that Oz did not differentiate between organic (good) and inorganic (bad) arsenic, according to MSNBC.
In a recent letter, the FDA said it would consider adding guidelines for "an appropriate level" for inorganic arsenic in apple juice, but stopped short of setting a firm "tolerance level," by saying that setting such levels "requires formal rulemaking and is a lengthy process" and that "tolerance levels are difficult to change in the future, in the event that our scientific understanding of an issue changes."
For more details on the report, visit the Consumer Reports website.

Today's problems are increasingly pressing. The scale and pace of biodiversity loss, climate change, resource depletion and population density should be a matter of grave concern for us all. Those who think humanity will continue to prosper on the basis of ever more industrialisation or prospective technologies are gambling with the prospects of future generations and neglecting the rights of other species.
We all love our children. We want them to grow up loved, healthy, well-nourished and well educated in a safe and pleasant environment. Today only a small proportion grows up in such circumstances. Looking ahead, climate change and resource over consumption means that even those born into fortunate circumstances may not be able to guarantee the same circumstances for their own children and for later generations.
The reasons include consumption levels that vary widely between rich and the poor, both within and between countries; over consumption and waste of resources by the richest countries; finite resources: the greater the number of people, the fewer resources are available for each individual.
Solutions are available: technology is finding ways to reduce carbon dioxide production, the main cause of global warming, and are improving the efficiency of food production; individuals can make a contribution by eating less meat; political will and the changing of commercial priorities could produce a more equitable distribution of resources; and, finally, stabilising and then reducing the world's population will lessen the pressure on resources, for both mankind and other species.
There are many established charities and campaign groups that recognise this and work in the fields of green technologies, green lifestyles, conservation, sustainable development, poverty alleviation, social justice, family planning and women's rights. Their work is important and something we support. However, for historical reasons, they generally shy away from addressing one of the main causes of many of today's problems, the unrelenting growth in human numbers. They wrongly feel that even talking about the benefits to society of smaller families is the start of a slippery slope to state control of procreation, despite the abundant evidence that people generally welcome the support they need to manage their own fertility.
Population Matters exists to provide evidence to raise awareness of the urgency and importance of problems associated with the increasing global population and to offer solutions as well as to challenge those who deny this reality.

Petitions are circulating in Bennington to recall an ordinance that prohibits "aggressive panhandling" and sleeping in cars in public areas.
Opponents say the law is unnecessary and that it unfairly targets the town's neediest residents.
The ordinance was adopted by the Bennington Select Board at the end of November.
Bennington Town Manager Stuart Hurd said the issue was raised by members of the chamber of commerce and a downtown advocacy group.
"Because they were becoming concerned that panhandling was becoming a problem," Hurd said.

Public Post reports on a proposed "mini-hydro" power project in Hinesburg; the results of a wind tower survey in Eden; Montpelier's district heat project; and a donation of 72 solar panels to Lyndon State College.
Here's a sampling of the week's Public Post Twitter updates from Wilmington, West Rutland, South Hero, Killington and more:
For the last few months, local opposition has been building in Lyndonville to a residential home for people with mental disabilities. The facility houses no more than two people who need support during a mental health crisis but do not require hospitalization. Neighbors say the leased home violates town zoning laws.
The debate highlights a tension between neighbor resistance and the state policy goal of providing services to people in their communities.
The Shumlin Administration is defending its decision not to allow small businesses to extend their current health care coverage for a year.
Some business leaders are calling for this extension because of ongoing technical problems at the state's new health care exchange. But the administration says the plan isn't needed because they've put new options in place.
The call for a one year delay picked up momentum this week when the Shumlin Administration announced that the exchange's on line payment system for small businesses still isn't working.
Vermonters are reacting to the death of former South African president Nelson Mandela.
Senator Patrick Leahy said Mandela will be remembered as one of the greatest world leaders. Senator Bernie Sanders said Mandela was a powerful force for good in the struggle to dismantle the terrible legacy of apartheid.
One Vermonter with a special connection to Mandela is Chris Wren, a VPR commentator and former New York Times Bureau Chief in Johannesburg.
Wren describes to VPR's Neal Charnoff the day Mandela was released from prison:
Now that it's decided that F-35s are coming to Vermont, here is what you need to know about the jets, the basing and the heated local debate over the Air Force's choice.
1. By the time basing is complete in 2020, the Air Force will have spent more than $1.5 billion to bring F-35s to Vermont
Despite the intensity of the local debate about the issue, average Vermonters aren't likely to see any major changes until 2020, when the Vermont Air National Guard says the jets will actually arrive.
Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy says he won't support increasing sanctions on Iran during the current round of negotiations on that country's nuclear program.
But Senator Bernie Sanders says he hasn't ruled it out despite White House opposition.
Key senators from both sides of the aisle are pushing for more sanctions by Christmas, but President Obama is warning that passing new sanctions now threatens negotiations in the wake of a breakthrough interim agreement reached last month with Iran.
It's the holidays, a time when friends, families and co-workers unite to celebrate. Quite often with alcohol flowing.
We take a look at some of Vermont's liquor laws and how they developed with Department of Liquor Control Director of Enforcement Bill Goggins. And we'll hear how law enforcement agencies around the state work to keep impaired drivers off the highway from Ted Minall, Chief of the Governor's Highway Safety Program and Vermont State Police Sergeant Gary Scott.
There are a lot of legal and political questions surrounding the operations of the state's new health care exchange. Will the state try to seek sizeable penalties from the contractor that missed a series of key deadlines and what will be the political fall out with the difficult roll out of the exchange?
Peter Hirschfeld is the bureau chief of the Vermont Press Bureau. He spoke with Vermont Edition about the rollout.

Message Category: Women's Running Topic: safety on runs
Hi! Congrats on running your first marathon and good luck with training for your second! I have the same problem when I run on busy streets, and I feel worried when I run on more deserted side streets that I am all alone with no one watching. So I prefer to run on trails. Are there any running trails in your city/town? You may have to drive your car/ ride your bike to one, but then you can park and run. I love running on running/ bike trails because you can be all alone with only other runners/ bikers around, and I don't have to worry about traffic or deserted alleys! I would highly recommend finding a running or bike trail in your area.
This may not be practical if you live in a dorm, but eventually, how about getting a dog to run with? I run with mine, a corgi mix who isn't very big or menacing, but she makes me feel safer because people don't know if she would bite or not. :) I would love to get a bigger dog if I had more room for it. Of course, I can't take her on my very long runs or my speedwork runs, but on many runs (up to an hour and a half, unless it's hot) she can keep right up. So perhaps that might help, whenever you can get one.
Good luck! :) ~Anita.

The fast disappearing wetlands,
seen from the air. They are what
chiefly protects the life, land, and
people of south Louisiana from
hurricanes. We cannot build
endless levees, and as the world
knows, they often fail - and it only
takes one break to invalidate the
entire levee system. BUT as people
elsewhere DO NOT know - often
levees cause more problems, such
as trapping water, and removing
even more precious land just to
build them. Levees need to be an
ADDITION to the wetlands, not the
cure to its loss. As wetlands
disappear, that means less flood-
surge protection, but also - that
Louisiana, once growing new land
for thousands of years, is now
shrinking - and homes and
livelihoods that lasted generations
are vanishing alongside.

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
When my shipment arrived, I immediately realized that the brush guards are 4" pieces of braided nylon cable sleeving. I can buy a 25 ft. spool of sleeving for about $20 and cut it into pieces with a hot knife that I own for crafting purposes. So while these are a really great idea and I would recommend using them to anyone, they're a bit overpriced for the cost of the raw materials that go into making them. (But alas, such is the reality of retail, no?) But now I know what I'm making all of my girlfriends for Christmas this year...
I got these several months ago in a box and never used them. I finally decided to try them out and I love them. It really protects the brushes and keeps all of the hairs together...really nice little gadget to have!
These brush guards are amazing. They keep your make up brushes clean and do not pick up any extra bacteria. I found that right after cleaning my brushes It helps to place the cover on and let it dry so it keeps its shape.
Pair this with the Benjabelle brush tree and that's the best set-up I've seen for cleaning brushes. Price is great and they really do their job. Just make sure to only pull them one direction and if you pull too far, just pull off and start again.
This brush protectors keep the brush bristles together after you wash them after using them with makeup. I like to wash them each time so it also helps to let me know to grab a dry brush when my other ones are still drying.
I really like the idea of arranging makeup brushes using these "nets." It's good for travel and clean. I like them a lot!
Some of my brushes I was able to keep in the plastic sleeves they come in, but many others were naked and tossed around my makeup bag. Now with the guards, they can hold their shape as well as keeps the makeup to them selves til I clean them off. I do enjoy the sizes, but a large brush set and small brush set would also be handy.
I bought these guards to go with the set. Don't have much use for many of them, as the set comes with plenty. Wish there was one for my poofy powder brush, even the biggest was too small. Good idea in theory but somewhat unnecessary.
Work great as a substitute for a bulky brush roll when traveling and for keeping brushes upside down for drying after a wash. Highly recommend
These are handy to have around, and I'm sure very nice for traveling, but I found that they stretch out easily and lose their tightness and thus effectiveness pretty quick. I also don't like that the top is just open; it seems like it would still let a lot of dirt and dust onto the brushes.

I was in tears and, at the same moment, utterly surprised at my reaction. Crying? I was watching Iron Lady, Meryl Streep's Academy Award victory lap in which she portrays Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1979-1990. The movie caught me off guard. The twist for me came in the movie's lens into Mrs. Thatcher's life; the view is of her nearing dementia with life 'highlights' told in retrospect. A wave to young children who were pleading with her not to go as she sped off to the Conservative Party's leadership. An aging person alone washing out her tea cup in the sink of a lovely, closeted London home. Adult children operating on the periphery. Why did it hit me so? Continue reading

history of science
Even as Dante was writing his great work, deep forces were threatening the unitary cosmos he celebrated. The pace of technological innovation began to quicken. Particularly in Italy, the political demands of the time gave new importance to technology, and a new profession emerged, that of civil and military engineer. These people faced practical problems that demanded practical solutions. Leonardo da Vinci is certainly the most famous of them, though he was much more as well. A painter of genius, he closely studied human anatomy in order to give verisimilitude to his paintings. As a sculptor he mastered the difficult techniques of casting metal. As a producer-director of the form of Renaissance dramatic production called the masque, he devised complicated machinery to create special effects. But it was as a military engineer that he observed the path of a mortar bomb being lobbed over a city wall and insisted that the projectile did not follow two straight lines—a slanted ascent followed by a vertical drop—as Aristotle had said it must. Leonardo and his colleagues needed to know nature truly; no amount of book learning could substitute for ... (200 of 15,354 words)The rise of modern science

INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts cornerback Vontae Davis, who has missed the last four games with an injured left knee, is expected to start Sunday at Detroit.
Interim coach Bruce Arians says safety Tom Zbikowski will not make the trip because of a right knee injury. Sergio Brown will likely replace Zbikowski in the starting lineup, and Brown will split time with backup Joe Lefeged.
Arians also says coach Chuck Pagano is starting his third and final round of chemotherapy Friday. Pagano has been on leave from the Colts (7-4) since being diagnosed with leukemia Sept. 26
Arians says his close friend is doing "very well" and that after this next round of treatment, doctors will monitor Pagano's white blood-cell count.

text: Justice Secretary, Chris Grayling MP, writes about why he will be voting in favour of equal marriage in tomorrow's vote, exclusively for Attitude. Tomorrow, MPs vote on an issue that's sparked much debate: whether to extend marriage to same-sex couples. It is an issue I know many of you have written to your MP about, those letters are important and help shape how Parliament approaches this issue. Change is sometimes uncomfortable for people. Often they have to be led gently through it. The gay marriage issue is one such example. There's no doubt that it will be a difficult and, for some, a controversial step to take. For many people it is an issue of religion and conscience. I respect their views but the proposals that Equalities Minister Maria Miller has put forward are sensible, just and I am sure will become law within the lifetime of this Parliament. At the heart of the argument is to me a simple proposition. It is not right for the State to judge between different relationships based on a lasting commitment. The job of the State and of the law is to be neutral, and indeed actively supportive of people who do form lifetime bonds. There is not nearly enough stability in our society. The propensity of relationships to fragment quickly and easily is one of the key reasons for what I believe to be an instability at the heart of our society. The State should actively support those who want to stay together. But it also has to accept that people have strongly held feelings and consciences, and that it is wrong to force people to act against their will. That's why it is so important that the reform is focused on the way the State treats couples and why it does not seek to force change upon religious institutions that do not want to embrace that change. Attitudes change continuously as generations pass, and rightly so – but we have to protect the freedom of religious conscience when delivering a change like this. The state can educate, but it cannot instruct people what they believe. It must, though, take a neutral and dispassionate view in its own actions and in the way it treats individuals. Changing a law has never automatically changed someone's opinion or belief, but a change in law can result in a more supportive and protective environment. What the State cannot and must not ever tolerate is deliberate discrimination. It is only as an adult that I have grown to understand how miserable it must have been to grow up in a society that actively discriminates against you. The experience of growing up as a young Asian in Britain in the 1970s, or as a young Briton trying to come to terms with your own sexuality and feeling the need to keep it concealed from friends and family alike must have been deeply depressing and difficult. Thankfully, we live in a country which has done much to stop the blatant discrimination against gay people. The gay community, on the whole, is able to be open and no longer live in fear that their sexuality will count against them. This country has changed massively in a generation, I welcome that and I think it makes us stronger as a nation, but there is more to do. A new attitude towards gay and lesbian people is to be found in most workplaces, for example. In today's world most employers are just happy to have found the right person for the job and anyone who has gone through a recruitment process knows how difficult it can be to find the person who will make the difference you need. But unfortunately discrimination can still be found in some places of work - around the issue of women and childbirth for example and it takes changes of attitude not just laws to fix it. One of the things that shocked me the most on becoming an MP was how often I came across examples of bullying in the workplace. Sometimes it's clear that it results from poor management combined with a breakdown of relations between a supervisor and an employee. But homophobic bullying has not disappeared from the workplace. I don't think it's as blatantly visible as in the past. Most employers understand the limitations set in place by anti-discrimination laws. But it is still there, in a way that is outdated and wholly unacceptable. That's why our tribunals should always act clearly and decisively when it is clear that an employee has been victimised for reasons of sexuality. Britain has changed massively in the past two or three generations. Some of those changes, like the decline of our manufacturing base, have in my view been very unwelcome. But the evolution of social attitudes has, by contract, been a real step forward. The Government's proposals on the recognition of gay marriage are a sensible next step in that evolution. They make it clear that the attitudes of today's generations are very different to those of the past. Of course we need to protect the right of the individual to have a conscience and of religious institutions to follow their own path. But that does not mean that the State has to do the same. Its job is to recognise the commitment between a couple to spend the rest of their lives together, and not to judge who that couple are.

Hi everyone !
My name is Lily, and I'm a 16 year old girl from the Netherlands. I own a MacBook Pro 13 inch and I'm in love with it For now, I joined mac-forums just to try it out. Some troubles have occurred in the past, and often I found a good solution on this forum. Now I want to try and help others with what I know and can. Another thing, this way I can always ask a question myself if I can't find an useful answer. Seemed like a good deal to me |

Howdy all of you guys and gals. I've been a member for a while and just never posted much but lately I've decided to start participating and posting some and offer help if I can. I've been a Mac lover and user since 1984 and my first real computer was a Mac Plus with a built in 9" black and white or I guess I should say a gray scale screen 2 MB of ram and later updated to 4 MB :-) with a 40 MB external SCSI drive. It even had a built in 3.5 inch floppy drive LOL. I did a lot of work with that little Mac mostly MIDI sequencing and then time code striping on track 8 on my Tascm 1/2 inch tape 8 track so that I could keep both the recorded audio and the MIDI in sync. I really learned a lot using tht little Mac.
Nowdays I have a pro/fun recording studio built around my MBP and and a couple of older Macs and a couple more PC's. Anyway if I can help anyone please feel free to ask I'll help all I can! stratguy |

Mac Specs: MacBook Pro 13.3". I5 - 2.4ghz Processor. 4gb RAM. 500gb Harddrive.
Hi all,
I have always owned PC's and have received a sparkly new MacBook Pro 13" with os x Lion for Christmas. I think it is a fantastic machine and so far much more reliable than my PC laptop which will now be sold on. I own an iPod touch 4th generation and and iPad 2 and I used to own an iPhone 3gs but am hoping at some point to buy an iPhone 4S when I can afford it. I am very new to the world of Mac and I hope that you will be willing to help me out if I have any issues or queries about it. Many thanks Julie |

text: 2011 marks the 400th anniversary of the King James version of the Bible. No other book has been as vital to the development of English writing or indeed to the English language itself. This major collection of essays is the most complete one-volume exploration of the King James Bible and its influence to date. The chapters are written by leading scholars from a range of disciplines, who examine the creation of the King James Bible as a work of translation and as a linguistic and literary accomplishment. They consider how it differed from the Bible versions which preceded it, and assess its broad cultural impact and precise literary influence over the centuries of writing which followed, in English and American literature, until today. The story will fascinate readers who approach the King James Bible from the perspectives of literary, linguistic, religious or cultural history.

Just hours after Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign launched 30-second spot featuring sleeping children while the White House phone rings at 3 a.m. with news of a pending internation crisis, Sen. Barack Obama's side put up its own 30-second response ad featuring sleeping children, a ringing phone and a looming crisis.
Clinton's ad asks the viewers who they would want answering that call, assuming the response would be her, of course, because she already has White House experience from her eight years as first lady. Here's her script:
"It's 3 a.m. and your children are safe asleep. But there's a phone in the White House and it's ringing. Something's happening in the world." (Sound of a phone ringing.) "Your vote will decide who answers that call, whether it's someone who already knows the world's leaders, knows the military, someone tested and ready to lead in a dangerous world. It's 3 a.m. and your children are safely asleep. Who do you want answering the phone? Hillary Rodham Clinton: I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message."
Predictably, Team Obama takes a differing view. Here's his script:
" It's 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. But there's a phone ringing in the White House. Something's happening in the world. When that call gets answered, shouldn't the president be the one – the only one – who had judgment and courage to oppose the Iraq war from the start… Who understood the REAL threat to America was al-Qaeda, in Afghanistan, not Iraq. Who led the effort to secure loose nuclear weapons around the globe… In a dangerous world, it's judgment that matters. I'm Barack Obama and I approved this message."

Headline from the WSJ: GM pulls advertising budget from Facebook! Days before the IPO, that's just plain mean spirited. If I was banking on a $100bn valuation, I might be a tad concerned about this development. With a budget of over $3bn to spend on ads, GM is the third largest spender in the US (P&G is #1). Perhaps they were miffed that they only have a $33bn market cap after all these years, and quite a few motor cars sold. Either way, the implication is that targeting Facebook members as advertising opportunities is the principle value from the site is missing the point. Facebook is a treasure trove for companies.
I am of course, looking to the social voice of the customer. I've made the gross generalization in the past that advertising spend is simply a tax you pay because your customers are not advertising your product for you. That's extreme for effect. But it is true that companies with higher NPS don't need to spend as much money on ads as those who have lower, to get the same result. It's a logical conclusion from the word of mouth economics studies we have done around NPS.
But for many companies, the first instinct when a new medium comes along is to rush to buy advertising space. And if people don't respond to the ads, what interest do they have in that medium. Respectfully, let me suggest they start by listening, not talking. Facebook, like much of social media, is a gift for companies around viral word of mouth. Spend a fraction of that advertising budget on understanding what customers are telling you on Facebook, understanding who your promoters and detractors are in social media, figuring out your Sparkscore; companies may discover that the real financial return comes from the positive word of mouth they can create rather than the ads they serve. It's what Net Promoter 2.0 is all about.
See you in London!

Back in mid-May, we learned the shocking news that actress Angelina Jolie decided to undergo a preventative double mastectomy operation to circumvent the high likelihood that she would develop breast cancer. Since that news came out, we saw Jolie on the cover of Time magazine but she has kept completely out of public sight … until now. Earlier today in England, Angelina attended the London premiere of fiancée Brad Pitt's new film World War Z in Leicester Square. Today's red black carpet appearance is Angelina's first public appearance since her surgery … and as you can see in the photos below, she looks amazing! More »
Yesterday Angelina Jolie shared with the world her brave and bold decision to undergo a preventative double mastectomy after she tested positive for the BRCA1 gene that put her at an 87% chance at developing breast cancer. Jolie's revelation yesterday sent shockwaves around the world and sparked an important conversation about the BRCA1 gene and the need for testing. Angelina's fiancée and father of her children, Brad Pitt, released a statement in support of Angelina's brave decision, which you can read below. Additionally, People magazine is now reporting that Angelina has decided to take the next step and will have her ovaries removed, since she has a 50% chance of developing ovarian cancer as well. Wow. Lots of new information to take in today. More »
Remember back in April when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got themselves engaged to be married? Yeah, well, the couple are still not married … but, according to Brad himself, the time for Brangelina to say their I Dos is "soon". On the red carpet at the NYC premiere of his new film Killing Them Softly, Brad revealed that the time for he and Angelina to marry is "nigh". More »
PITNBrs, a helluva lot went down in celeb romance this year and it wasn't all very pretty. Before we celebrate the celeb couples who are still going strong, we pay our respects to those couples we lost this year. Rest peacefully TomKat, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, The Arquettes, J-Lo and Marc Anthony, Heidi and Seal, Adam Levine and Anne V, Jennie Garth & Peter Facinelli and Zooey Deschanel & Ben Gibbard. Our hearts will go on. And perhaps, the following 10 celeb couples who are currently going strong will help us heal. More »
She is Super Mom. Fame, fortune, a philanthropic spirit– Angie's got it all. Brad Pitt put a ring on it not too long ago and I still haven't gotten over the fact that she can actually fly, like, in real life. More »
It is only to be expected that following Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's engagement news, reports and rumors would start straight away about when the wedding of the year will take place. Tabloid reporters are already going into over drive, and soon it will become hard to distinguish fact from fiction. Today we have one such report. Hollyscoop has announced that Brangelina are going to tie the knot in the South of France this summer on a chateau on their Miraval Estate. While not totally unbelievable, it seems unlikely that Brad and Angelina will rush to wed. Who knows though, right? Read on for more of the RUMORED details and some pics of the French home of Brangelina which COULD be the site of the wedding. More »
Last week we learned that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt finally got themselves engaged to be married. Yesterday we saw a photo of the beautiful Tiffany ring that Angelina's engagement ring was modeled on … but today, we get to see the Brangelina sparkler close-up. Ange was spotted in public with rock on hand for the FIRST TIME since news of her engagement broke. As you may recall, we already know that Brad had a hand in the rings design but today we also learn that Brad REPORTEDLY popped the question last Xmas. Keep in mind, this proposal "news" comes from a tabloid report so it's likely that the story is completely fiction … but now that we know that the couple are, indeed, engaged — speculative stories like this are going to be de rigueur. Click below to get a good look at Angelina's bling and read the REPORTED deets of Brad's proposal. More »
On Wednesday we heard the HUGE news that Brangelina got themselves engaged to be married. First there was a press release from the jeweler, Robert Procop, who claimed to have worked with Brad Pitt to design the ring. Subsequently, Brad's manager, Cynthia Pett-Dante, released an official statement, confirming the news was TRUE. Last week we only got to see a blurry image of the ring on Ange's hand as she attended the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's Chinese Galleries. Today we have a close up photo which is VERY SIMILAR to the ring designed by the Procop's. Bling ba-da-bling! More »
Yesterday we heard the HUGE news that Brangelina are engaged to be married. Today we have learned that Brad and Ange are not only be getting married, but they may be starring on screen together again, going back to their roots. The story of Brangelina began on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith, and now they may be back on the screen together in Ridley Scott's new movie, The Counselor alongside a potentially massive A-list cast. More »
UPDATE: Brad Pitt's manager has confirmed this engagement news as TRUE! Read below for his full statement!!
According to a man named Robert Procop, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are engaged to be married. How does does he know this? Well, he designed the phat diamond ring that she is wearing on her left hand (reportedly with help from Brad Pitt) and he claims to have first hand knowlege that the couple are engaged. Procop's publicist released an official statement today breaking the news about this engagement ring, which will surely make Brangelina very happy (whether they are actually engaged or not). Read below the statement released by Ropcop's publicist and see if YOU believe that Angelina and Brad are gettin' hitched at last. More »

Logo Design
Professional Logo Design
If you are looking to purchase our print design service where we will design your letterheads, business cards, leaflets etc, you will notice that the set price for this service is based on you supplying your logo in high resolution. If you don't have a logo, or have an existing logo but not in a high resolution digital format, then we offer 2 services that can be purchased in addition to our set design fees. Both these services are explained further down the page and can be purchased via the drop down box below.
Please select your required logo design service from the drop down box below.
Logo Design
If you don't have an existing logo then we can design one for you from scratch. We will research your marketplace, competitors and take into account appropriate visual styles along with your brief. We will then supply 5 initial concepts, if a concept is to your liking we will provide unlimited revisions to the chosen design until you are 100% happy, we will then supply your logo as a high resolution infinitely scalable vector graphic. If none of the 5 initial concepts are suitable then we will supply a further 5 for your consideration.
Vector Conversion
If you have an existing logo but you don't have it in a high resolution digital format then we can copy and re-draw this for you from scratch. Any logos displayed on your website will be low resolution (72dpi) and unless the logo was originally designed at high resolution and you have that file then the logo on your website will not be suitable for print, in this instance our vector conversion service is just what you need. You can supply your existing logo in any format, be it on a printed piece of paper, in a word document or just point us to your website, we will re-draw the existing design supplying it as a high resolution infinitely scalable vector graphic.
Whichever service you require from above your finished logo will be supplied as a high resolution infinitely scalable vector graphic. Vector format is the industry standard file type for logo design and will enable you to use your logo for almost any application in the future, be it online or in print.Your logo is a VERY important part of your business, before a potential customer even walks through your door your logo will give that customer an impression of who they are dealing with, it can make your company appear large, small, fun, serious, professional, un-professional!...the list goes on. Your logo is the starting point of your whole corporate image, the colours, typography and style of your logo will often dictate how the rest of your company's literature will look.
As with anything, you get what you pay for and logo design is no different. If you spend £20 then the chances are that your logo will look like it cost £20, if you want to give customers a good first impression of your business then do not scrimp on logo design. Be wary of very cheap logo designers, some copy existing logos and adjust them to fit in with your business, this is copyright infringement and you may not realise this until you get the Solicitors letter through the door. Another trick of the cheaper logo designer is to replicate logos which means 5, 10 or even 100 businesses may all have the same logo as you.
Logos take time to design and there are MANY factors to be taken into consideration by a professional logo designer, how will the logo look when printed? How will the logo look when re-sized? A professional logo designer will spend time researching your marketplace and competitors to see how they represent themselves, they will have a brain storming session creating maybe 4 or 5 logo options, tweaking and adjusting them with your input until they have the right logo for your business.
If you are in need of a new logo, or just require our vector conversion service, please rest assured that you will receive a professional service from the Stationery Direct Team.
If you have any questions about our logo design services or need further assistance, please get in touch.

"Lifetime Size Guarantee"
Because tungsten is one of earth hardest and strongest metals, you will continue to enjoy you ring for life. Our Tungsten Rings are of such a high quality that we can offer this Lifetime Size Guarantee. For the replacement fee that is in effect at time of replace your ring will be replaced. Currently the size replacement fee is $21.95, which includes the shipping and handling fee. If your ring no longer fits for any reason simply send it back and pay the replacement fee that is in effect at that time and a new ring will be sent to you. You must include your invoice. If that ring style or size is not available you may choose a ring of equal or lesser valve. If you want a higher price ring just pay the replacement fee and the difference in the price of the ring. Tungsten rings are both attractive and functional. Its design should reflect these two virtues. Its shape, size, and overall appearance should complement the way it's meant to be worn. In other words, a tungsten ring form should match its function. A tungsten carbide ring, for example, should stay comfortably in place on the finger. In the variety of tungsten jewelry styles available today, one aspect of a good design tends to remain constant, and that's balance. Balance doesn't necessarily mean that all design elements are identical. An abstract jewelry can be irregular, which a design that incorporates elements that don't exactly match each other. The pearls in a pair of earrings can be different colors. An graceful cluster pendant might have diamonds in different sizes and shapes. But there is usually some balancing element in the design that pulls it all together. Tungsten jewelry designers experiment with many rudiments common to other visual arts, including color, pattern, and line. Combined with the all-important components of imagination, these elements include breathtaking "wearable art" that is both beautiful and practical. Good design can also include flexibility. Examples of design flexibility are necklaces with removable brooches, pearl strands that convert to choker-and-bracelet sets and earring jackets that transform the look of simple stud earrings. Resourceful design is an benefit to someone on a limited budget as well as to someone who simply wants to increase a jewelry wardrobe without buying a lot of different pieces.
