Home > Makeup > Products > Foundation Types for Oily, Dry & Normal Skin
Foundation isn't for everyone because some women are lucky enough to have flawless skin. Foundation is also something that many women only use on special occasions because it feels like a chore to put what seems like pounds of product on your face every day. But this certainly isn't to say that foundation doesn't have its place in the makeup world. Foundations are made to act as a foundation to build-up your makeup, and if you're someone who feels insecure about redness, uneven skin tone, acne scars or dull skin tone, you may find that makeup foundation gives you a little less to worry about.
To liven up your skin's color, you can use foundation to brighten your face and create a radiant glow. You can also add a small amount of luminizer to foundation before applying it to your face. The luminizer will create a subtle glow all over your skin, and can also present the illusion of you being more awake!
With the threat of skin cancer, it's no wonder why cosmetic companies are putting SPF in nearly every product, including makeup foundation. If your daily moisturizer doesn't provide any sun protection, then rely on your foundation to take care of you while under the sun. But also note that it has been a misconception for many years that putting makeup on instantly guards your skin against the sun's harmful rays. Even still, if your makeup contains no SPF, you're just as vulnerable with it on as you are with it off.
Skin types vary from person to person, and finding the right formula can be tricky – especially if your skin changes with the seasons!
Companies are making it even easier for us to find the perfect foundation for our skin type by printing directly on the bottles which skin type the foundation is intended for.
Not all foundations are able to cover acne scars completely, but most can camouflage them with the help of concealer or tinted foundation makeup primer.
If you're fresh out of concealer here is what you do:
Keep your youthful appearance by using foundation makeup! It's no secret that we sometimes age a little faster than we want, and with age spots or pesky pores, you can seem older than you are. Foundation can mask the age spots, leaving you with an even color, and it can also minimize pores as well.
Better yet, cosmetic companies are identifying women's needs by offering foundations and concealers with extra moisturizers, and anti-aging ingredients built right into the products. Revlon Age Defying Foundation and Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Foundation (and concealer) are a couple of these products.
For the most rewarding foundation application, apply your makeup after you've cleansed, exfoliated, toned, moisturized and primed your face. All of these steps are important so that you're not applying makeup foundation onto dirt, debris, oils, dead skin or bacteria; these unpleasantries cause skin irritations like clogged pores that lead to pimples.
Not using proper skincare can also leave you with blotchy foundation, and can even make you look worse than when you started! It's also important not to use foundation to make yourself appear tan because you'll look unnatural.
This product is easy to apply, and nearly every cosmetic company offers a unique formula that's popular with almost all skin types. Furthermore, liquid foundation gives your skin fairly good coverage so performance isn't an issue.
There are oil free liquid foundations available, making it a great formula for all skin types!
This offers more coverage than a tinted moisturizer, but if you have a lot of areas that need to be covered, then you'll require more concealer. The reason why is because sheer liquid foundation doesn't quite cover imperfections as well as you'd like.
Cream foundations are usually only used for special occasions because the consistency is thicker than that of liquid foundations. Cream foundation gives your skin significantly more coverage, but with its heavy and oily formula, it is best to limit this product's wear.
Those with very dry skin may be able to wear cream foundations more, but exercise caution when doing so.
If you're busy and on-the-go, a cream-to-powder foundation compact may be what you're looking for. You'll get medium coverage with cream-to-powder compact foundation, which is decent; however, oily skin should steer clear of this formulation because it could be too greasy for your already slick skin! If you have dry skin, using a cream-to-powder foundation could leave your skin looking dry.
Oily skin is compatible with oil free foundations, and this product covers blemishes well. You won't have to worry about clogging pores with oil free foundations as much as a foundation that does contain oil. Just be sure to blend your foundation out well and down your neck slightly to avoid looking like you have a mask on!
Looking at things from a broad perspective, finding the right foundation for your specific skins is sometimes a trial-and-error process. But when you do find the perfect foundation, it can do wonders for your look.

The push to cloud transforms the way we apply information security principles to systems and applications.
Perimeters of the past, secured heavily with traditional network devices in the outermost ring, lose effectiveness day by day. Shifting the focus to defense in depth brings the perimeter down to the individual cloud instances running your application.
Security-Enhanced Linux, or SELinux, forms an effective part of that perimeter.
SELinux operates in the realm of mandatory access control (MAC). The design of MAC involves placing constraints on what a user (a subject) can do to a particular object (a target) on the system.
In contrast, discretionary access control (DAC) allows a user with certain access to use discretion to limit or allow access to certain files, directories, or devices. You can set any file system permissions that you want but SELinux can override them with ease at the operating system level.
Consider a typical server running a web application. An attacker compromises the web application and executes malicious code via the web server daemon itself. SELinux has default policies that prevent the daemon from initiating communication on the network. That limits the attacker's options to attack other services or servers.
In addition, SELinux sets policies on which files and directories the web server can access, regardless of any file system permissions. This protection limits the attacker's access to other sensitive parts of the file system even if the administrator set the files to be readable to the world.
This is where SELinux shines. Oddly enough, this is the point where many system administrators actually disable SELinux on their systems.
Troubleshooting these events, called AVC denials, without some helpful tools is challenging and frustrating. Each denial flows into to your audit log as a cryptic message.
Most administrators will check the usual suspects, like firewall rules and file system permissions. As frustration builds, they disable SELinux and notice that their application begins working as expected.
SELinux remains disabled and hundreds of helpful policies lie dormant solely because one policy caused a problem.
Disabling SELinux without investigation frustrated me to the point where I started a site at stopdisablingselinux.com. The site is a snarky response to Linux administrators who reach for the disable switch as soon as SELinux gets in their way.
All jokes aside, here are some helpful tips to use SELinux effectively:
Working through denials is easy with the setroubleshoot-server package. When a denial occurs, you still receive a cryptic log message in your audit logs. However, you also receive a message via syslog that is very easy to read. Your server can email you these messages as well. The message contains guidance about adjusting SELinux booleans, setting contexts, or generating new SELinux policies to work around a really unusual problem. When I say guidance, I mean that the tools give you commands to copy and paste to adjust your policies, booleans and contexts
Although the myriad of SELinux user-space tools isn't within the scope of this article, getsebool and togglesebool deserve a mention. Frequently adjusted policies are controlled by booleans that are toggled on and off with togglesebool. Start with getsebool –a for a full list of booleans and then use togglesebool to enable or disable the policy.
Shuffling files or directories around a server can cause SELinux denials due to contexts not matching their original values. This happens to me frequently if I move a configuration file from one system to another. Correcting the context problem involves one of two simple commands. The restorecon command applies the default contexts specific to the file or directory. If you have a file in the directory with the correct context, use chcon to fix the context on the wrong file by giving it the path to the file with the correct context.
Here are some additional links with helpful SELinux documentation:

Pattern: Simplicity 2030 (Sew Simple)
Fabric: Velour, navy polka dots on white background
This cape is made of velour, just like Zapp Brannigan's suit. But this cape is more awesome than Zapp Brannigan's suit. I think I bought this fabric earlier this year when it was on sale. The polka dots and the plush, shiny look of the fabric blew me away the very moment I laid eyes on it and I knew I had to get it. I don't know why, but for some reason, the fabric screamed, 'KATE SPADE!' to me.
Within a minute of deciding that I was going to buy the fabric, I also decided that I was going to make a cape with the fabric, regardless of the suitability of velour as a material for making something that is meant to keep a person warm in winter. Oh, and also, the pattern does not recommend the use of velour at all. Sense 0 – Sensibility 1.
But hey, the end product isn't too bad! I didn't make a muslin but simply made some alterations to the pattern based on my… intuition… and how the cape looks on the white silhouette on the front of the envelope. These are the changes that I made:
- Raised arm holes
- Shortened cape
- 3 hook and eye instead of the 4 prescribed by the pattern
- Additional topstitch all around the bottom which was not stated in the pattern. I did this to make the fabric stay in place since my fabric is quite light. Without the topstitch, the bottom of the cape looked puffy as the velour is not heavy enough.
More details on my blog here:

Six of those adobe mansions you've been curious about in Barrio Viejo are open for a tour tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
It's well worth the $35 tour fee to see the insides of these adobe structures that define our distinctive Tucson style. Many contain furniture and decor consistent with the period of construction.
But the tour benefits even more landmarks we love, including the Valley of the Moon, the Cactus Drive-in, all our cool neon signs and that classic mid-century commercial architecture on Broadway, among many other projects stewarded by the tour's organizers, the Tucson Historic Preservation Association.

FARGO, N.D. — North Dakota State, the preseason choice to finish second in the Summit League, thumped league newcomer UNO 95-51 Thursday night in the league opener for both teams.
"They did the things well that they normally do well, plus they shot it extremely well," UNO coach Derrin Hansen said.
The Bison (6-2 overall) shot 62.1 percent from the field in the second half and 58.1 percent for the game. They were even deadlier from 3-point range, hitting 8 of 12 (66.7 percent) in the second half and 15 of 25 (60 percent) overall.
The Bison had been shooting 46 percent from the field and 37.9 percent from 3-point range.
All-Summit candidate Taylor Braun tied a school record with seven 3s en route to 26 points. Braun, who had been 8 for 26 (30.8 percent) from long range after connecting on 45 percent last season, evened things up by going 7 for 9.
"He'd only made eight all year … then he's 3 for 3 before we blinked an eye," Hansen said.
Still, UNO (2-6) trailed only 40-30 late in the first half, but went 0 for 3 with two turnovers to trail 49-30 at the break, then was outscored 9-2 to start the second half.
"The last 312 minutes of the first half and the first 312 minutes of the second half were the most disappointing portion of the game," Hansen said. "We had a chance to dig in and get to within six or eight at the half, but then quick shots, turnovers. … We're still learning. We got a little hurried there."
Justin Simmons led UNO with 14 points, while Matt Hagerbaumer had a career-high nine points off the bench. Alex Phillips scored eight.
"The last two to three weeks, Matt has played really well for us," Hansen said of the 6-foot-7 junior forward. "He's been active and engaged."
UNO played without senior forward Koang Doluony, who didn't make the trip to attend to personal matters. The Mavs play Saturday at South Dakota State.
UNO also got limited duty from point guard CJ Carter, who played just 17 minutes and scored only two points as he recovers from a back injury.
"He just really wasn't himself, and once the game got out of hand we shut him down for the rest of the night," Hansen said. "He's closer than he was two or three days ago, but he's not 100 percent."
North Dakota State, which for the record stayed closer to No. 1 Indiana earlier this season than did No. 14 North Carolina on Tuesday, had four others in double figures: Marshall Bjorklund (14), TrayVonn Wright (14), Lawrence Alexander (13) and Chris Kading (10).

The old gentlemen, from their peepholes in the Magazine, watched the progress of this remarkable affair of honour, as well as they could, with the aid of their field-glasses, and through an interposing crowd.
'By Jupiter, Sir, he's through him!' said Colonel Bligh, when he saw O'Flaherty go down.
'So he is, by George!' replied General Chattesworth; 'but, eh, which is he?'
'The long fellow,' said Bligh.
'O'Flaherty?--hey!--no, by George!--though so it is--there's work in Frank Nutter yet, by Jove,' said the general, poking his glass and his fat face an inch or two nearer.
'Quick work, general!' said Bligh.
'Devilish,' replied the general.
The two worthies never moved their glasses; as each, on his inquisitive face, wore the grim, wickedish, half-smile, with which an old stager recalls, in the prowess of his juniors, the pleasant devilment of his own youth.
'The cool, old hand, Sir, too much for your new fireworker,' remarked Bligh, cynically.
'Tut, Sir, this O'Flaherty has not been three weeks among us,' spluttered out the general, who was woundily jealous of the honour of his corps. 'There are lads among our fireworkers who would whip Nutter through the liver while you'd count ten!'
'They're removing the--the--(a long pause) the body, eh?' said Bligh. 'Hey! no, see, by George, he's walking but he's hurt.'
'I'm mighty well pleased it's no worse, Sir,' said the general, honestly glad.
'They're helping him into the coach--long legs the fellow's got,' remarked Bligh.
'These--things--Sir--are--are--very--un--pleasant,' said the general, adjusting the focus of the glass, and speaking slowly--though no Spanish dandy ever relished a bull-fight more than he an affair of the kind. He and old Bligh had witnessed no less than five--not counting this--in which officers of the R.I.A. were principal performers, from the same sung post of observation. The general, indeed, was conventionally supposed to know nothing of them, and to reprobate the practice itself with his whole soul. But somehow, when an affair of the sort came off on the Fifteen Acres, he always happened to drop in, at the proper moment, upon his old crony, the colonel, and they sauntered into the demi-bastion together, and quietly saw what was to be seen. It was Miss Becky Chattesworth who involved the poor general in this hypocrisy. It was not exactly her money; it was her force of will and unflinching audacity that established her control over an easy, harmless, plastic old gentleman.
'They are unpleasant--devilish unpleasant--somewhere in the body, I think, hey? they're stooping again, stooping again--eh?--plaguy unpleasant, Sir (the general was thinking how Miss Becky's tongue would wag, and what she might not even do, if O'Flaherty died). Ha! on they go again, and a--Puddock--getting in--and that's Toole. He's not so much hurt--eh? He helped himself a good deal, you saw; but (taking heart of grace) when a quarrel does occur, Sir, I believe, after all, 'tis better off the stomach at once--a few passes--you know--or the crack of a pistol--who's that got in--the priest--hey? by George!'
'Awkward if he dies a Papist,' said cynical old Bligh--the R.I.A. were Protestant by constitution.
'That never happens in our corps, Sir,' said the general, haughtily; 'but, as I say, when a quarrel--does--occur--Sir--there, they're off at last; when it does occur--I say--heyday! what a thundering pace! a gallop, by George! that don't look well (a pause)--and--and--a--about what you were saying--you know he couldn't die a Papist in our corps--no one does--no one ever did--it would be, you know--it would be a trick, Sir, and O'Flaherty's a gentleman; it could not be--(he was thinking of Miss Becky again--she was so fierce on the Gunpowder Plot, the rising of 1642, and Jesuits in general, and he went on a little flustered); but then, Sir, as I was saying, though the thing has its uses----.'
'I'd like to know where society'd be without it,' interposed Bligh, with a sneer.
'Though it may have its uses, Sir; it's not a thing one can sit down and say is right--we can't!'
'I've heard your sister, Miss Becky, speak strongly on that point, too,'said Bligh.
'Ah! I dare say,' said the general, quite innocently, an coughing a little. This was a sore point with the hen-pecked warrior, and the grim scarcecrow by his side knew it, and grinned through his telescope; 'and you see--I say--eh! I think they're breaking up, a--and--I say--I--it seems all over--eh--and so, dear colonel, I must take my leave, and----.'
And after a lingering look, he shut up his glass, and walking thoughtfully back with his friend, said suddenly--
'And, now I think of it--it could not be that--Puddock, you know, would not suffer the priest to sit in the same coach with such a design--Puddock's a good officer, eh! and knows his duty.'
A few hours afterwards, General Chattesworth, having just dismounted outside the Artillery barracks, to his surprise, met Puddock and O'Flaherty walking leisurely in the street of Chapelizod. O'Flaherty looked pale and shaky, and rather wild; and the general returned his salute, looking deuced hard at him, and wondering all the time in what part of his body (in his phrase) 'he had got it;' and how the plague the doctors had put him so soon on his legs again.
'Ha, Lieutenant Puddock,' with a smile, which Puddock thought significant--'give you good-evening, Sir. Dr. Toole anywhere about, or have you seen Sturk?'
'No, he had not.'
The general wanted to hear by accident, or in confidence, all about it; and having engaged Puddock in talk, that officer followed by his side.
'I should be glad of the honour of your company, Lieutenant Puddock, to dinner this evening--Sturk comes, and Captain Cluffe, and this wonderful Mr. Dangerfield too, of whom we all heard so much at mess, at five o'clock, if the invitation's not too late.'
The lieutenant acknowledged and accepted, with a blush and a very low bow, his commanding officer's hospitality; in fact, there was a tendre in the direction of Belmont, and little Puddock had inscribed in his private book many charming stanzas of various lengths and structures, in which the name of 'Gertrude' was of frequent recurrence.
'And--a--I say, Puddock--Lieutenant O'Flaherty, I thought--I--I thought, d'ye see, just now, eh? (he looked inquisitively, but there was no answer); I thought, I say, he looked devilish out of sorts, is he--a--ill?'
'He was very ill, indeed, this afternoon, general; a sudden attack----'
The general looked quickly at Puddock's plump, consequential face; but there was no further light in it. 'He was hurt then, I knew it'--he thought--'who's attending him--and why is he out--and was it a flesh-wound--or where was it?' all these questions silently, but vehemently, solicited an answer--and he repeated the last aloud, in a careless sort of way.
'And--a--Lieutenant Puddock, you were saying--a--tell me--now--where was it?'
'In the park, general,' said Puddock, in perfect good faith.
'Eh? ah! in the park, was it? but I want to know, you know, what part of the body--d'ye see--the shoulder--or?----'
'The duodenum, Dr. Toole called it--just here, general,' and he pressed his fingers to what is vulgarly known as the 'pit' of his stomach.
'What, Sir, do you mean to say the pit of his stomach?' said the general, with more horror and indignation than he often showed.
'Yes, just about that point, general, and the pain was very violent indeed,' answered Puddock, looking with a puzzled stare at the general's stern and horrified countenance--an officer might have a pain in his stomach, he thought, without exciting all that emotion. Had he heard of the poison, and did he know more of the working of such things than, perhaps, the doctors did?
'And what in the name of Bedlam, Sir, does he mean by walking about the town with a hole through his--his what's his name? I'm hanged but I'll place him under arrest this moment,' the general thundered, and his little eyes swept the perspective this way and that, as if they would leap from their sockets, in search of the reckless O'Flaherty. 'Where's the adjutant, Sir?' he bellowed with a crimson scowl and a stamp, to the unoffending sentry.
'That's the way to make him lie quiet, and keep his bed till he heals, Sir.'
Puddock explained, and the storm subsided, rumbling off in half a dozen testy assertions on the general's part that he, Puddock, had distinctly used the word 'wounded,' and now and then renewing faintly, in a muttered explosion, on the troubles and worries of his command, and a great many 'pshaws!' and several fits of coughing, for the general continued out of breath for some time. He had showed his cards, however, and so, in a dignified disconcerted sort of way, he told Puddock that he had heard something about O'Flaherty's having got most improperly into a foolish quarrel, and having met Nutter that afternoon, and for a moment feared he might have been hurt; and then came enquiries about Nutter, and there appeared to have been no one hurt, and yet the parties on the ground--and no fighting--and yet no reconciliation--and, in fact, the general was so puzzled with this conundrum, and so curious, that he was very near calling after Puddock, when they parted at the bridge, and making him entertain him, at some cost of consistency, with the whole story.
So Puddock--his head full of delicious visions--marched homeward--to powder and perfume, and otherwise equip for that banquet of the gods, of which he was to partake at five o'clock, and just as he turned the corner at 'The Phoenix,' who should he behold, sailing down the Dublin road from the King's House, with a grand powdered footman, bearing his cane of office, and a great bouquet behind her, and Gertrude Chattesworth by her side, but the splendid and formidable Aunt Becky, who had just been paying her compliments to old Mrs. Colonel Stafford, from whom she had heard all about the duel. So as Puddock's fat cheeks grew pink at sight of Miss Gertrude, all Aunt Becky's colour flushed into her face, as her keen eye pierced the unconscious lieutenant from afar off, and chin and nose high in air, her mouth just a little tucked in, as it were, at one corner--a certain sign of coming storm--an angry hectic in each cheek, a fierce flirt of her fan, and two or three short sniffs that betokened mischief--she quickened her pace, leaving her niece a good way in the rear, in her haste to engage the enemy. Before she came up she commenced the action at a long range, and very abruptly--for an effective rhetorician of Aunt Becky's sort, jumps at once, like a good epic poet, in medias res; and as Nutter, who, like all her friends in turn, experienced once or twice 'a taste of her quality,' observed to his wife, 'by Jove, that woman says things for which she ought to be put in the watch-house.' So now and here she maintained her reputation--
'You ought to be flogged, Sir; yes,' she insisted, answering Puddock's bewildered stare, 'tied up to the halberts and flogged.'
Aunt Rebecca was accompanied by at least half a dozen lap-dogs, and those intelligent brutes, aware of his disgrace, beset poor Puddock's legs with a furious vociferation.
'Madam,' said he, his ears tingling, and making a prodigious low bow; 'commissioned officers are never flogged.'
'So much the worse for the service, Sir; and the sooner they abolish that anomalous distinction the better. I'd have them begin, Sir, with you, and your accomplice in murder, Lieutenant O'Flaherty.'
'Madam! your most obedient humble servant,' said Puddock, with another bow, still more ceremonious, flushing up intensely to the very roots of his powdered hair, and feeling in his swelling heart that all the generals of all the armies of Europe dare not have held such language to him.
'Good-evening, Sir,' said Aunt Becky, with an energetic toss of her head, having discharged her shot; and with an averted countenance, and in high disdain, she swept grandly on, quite forgetting her niece, who said a pleasant word or two to Puddock as she passed, and smiled so kindly, and seemed so entirely unconscious of his mortification, that he was quite consoled, and on the whole was made happy and elated by the rencontre, and went home to his wash-balls and perfumes in a hopeful and radiant, though somewhat excited state.
Indeed, the little lieutenant knew that kind-hearted termagant, Aunt Becky, too well, to be long cast down or even flurried by her onset. When the same little Puddock, about a year ago, had that ugly attack of pleurisy, and was so low and so long about recovering, and so puny and fastidious in appetite, she treated him as kindly as if he were her own son, in the matter of jellies, strong soups, and curious light wines, and had afterwards lent him some good books which the little lieutenant had read through, like a man of honour as he was. And, indeed, what specially piqued Aunt Becky's resentment just now was, that having had, about that time, a good deal of talk with Puddock upon the particular subject of duelling, he had, as she thought, taken very kindly to her way of thinking; and she had a dozen times in the last month, cited Puddock to the general; and so his public defection was highly mortifying and intolerable.
So Puddock, in a not unpleasant fuss and excitement, sat down in his dressing-gown before the glass; and while Moore the barber, with tongs, powder, and pomade, repaired the dilapidations of the day, he contemplated his own plump face, not altogether unapprovingly, and thought with a charming anticipation of the adventures of the approaching evening.

What's in a Name: Letitia Spit
10 July 2012 , 5:59 PM by nicole gundi
Normally, 'What's in a Name' is about a park or building that's been named after someone and we like to discover who that person was or is while unearthing the rich history of the Gold and Tweed coasts.
But Letitia Spit is a bit different as there is no 'who'.
Bernadette Young found out more with Joan Smith who's from the Tweed Historical Society.

Remember how my first attempt at making a Solo Cookie needing some tweaking? Well, I did it! Not without one more failure, though…
Solo Cookie attempt #2:
Delicious, but still too cake-like. Grrr. Attempt #3 was going to take place tonight, but the anticipation was killing me…
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!
Solo Cookie
dry ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon ground flax
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
wet ingredients:
- 1/2 tablespoon real butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon apple sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
mix-ins: whatever you want!! But I used:
- 3 macadamia nuts, crushed
- 1/2 tablespoon white chocolate chips
directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper (or just 1/4 of the sheet since you're only making one cookie). Combine dry ingredients. Whisk together wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and combine. Add mix-ins. Form cookie on sheet, and bake for 10 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out dry).
Now THAT'S a cookie. It turned out soft and chewy – everything a cookie should be. So the next time you're in the mood for a cookie but don't want to be tempted by the entire batch, you know what to do!
- What mix-ins will you add to the Solo Cookie?

Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth Spotted Honeymooning in Belize
But they weren't alone! Ava, 11, and Deacon, 8, Witherspoon's daughter and son with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, accompanied Mom and her new husband on the family getaway.
A witness told Us, "They definitely looked like a happy family. The kids seemed like they had no problem with him around."
Witherspoon, 35, and Toth, 40, are said to be staying with the kids in the tiny Central American country for six days. Upon arriving, the Oscar winner reportedly blended in by dressing inconspicuously in jeans and a T-shirt, topping her look with a brown hat.
"They didn't ask for any VIP treatment," said the observer who saw the newlyweds moments after their landing. "[They] walked off the plane like regular tourists, waited in the immigration line and waited to get their bags from the baggage carousel."
The couple wed at home in Ojai, Calif., two weeks ago. Why didn't the bride and groom set off for a honeymoon immediately after saying 'I Do'?
Work may have played a part: In support of her upcoming film 'Water for Elephants,' Witherspoon made an appearance with her co-star, Robert Pattinson, at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas earlier this month. The Nashville, Tenn., native won her 2006 Oscar playing (and singing) the role of June Carter Cash in 'Walk the Line.'

Jeez people, jealous much? I hope they all have a great time. Maybe they took the kids because they wanted the kids to feel like they are part of it all & not left out. Honeymoons are basically a vacation for the most part. Most couples are already in a sexual relationship so give me a break. It's 2011 now!! Wake up & get on with your lives. Congrats to them all.

Hi, This is probably caused by a database error at the certificate issuer's end (Thawte). The error is currently considered fatal, and you would see the same result if you activate OCSP in Firefox (and probably IE. I am not sure what would happen in Vista, but Microsoft has stated that they are going to active OCSP by default there). We've seen a number of these recently, and I've just informed my contact at Verisign (which owns Thawte) about the problem.

Ferrari says it does not have a clue how quick its new F10 is compared to the opposition, and thinks it may take a few more tests to fully find out.
Despite Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso leading the way in this week's first preseason F1 test in Valencia, Ferrari is remaining cautious about what the early indications are of the 2010 cars. With the team vowing to wait for one more additional test before adding aerodynamic improvements to its car, the clear picture of form may not become clear for a while.
Technical director Aldo Costa told the official Ferrari website: "We see that we are fast but we don't know how much we are fast compared to the others. The good thing is that all the calculations and all the evaluations during the design and production of the new car are seeing a good result on the track."
Costa said there had been no unexpected problems with the F10, and that the team, plus Massa and Alonso, were pleased with the situation it was in.
"The feedback in general was good," he said. "It is a good baseline to develop the car for the next test and the first few races, so positive."
Ferrari will bring some mechanical developments to next week's Jerez test, before new aero parts arrive for the second run out at the Spanish track the following week.
Costa also confirmed that Ferrari was running a "highly" tapered gearbox on the F10 to try and maximize the effectiveness of the car's double diffuser. He also expressed some hope that a fresh double diffuser controversy marring the start of the season could be averted.
"The FIA is keeping things in check and is answering every team with regard to the doubts and the realization of the double diffuser," he was quoted as saying by Gazzetta dello Sport. "Unfortunately, this rulebook is open to many interpretations."

81 short tracks performed on the no-input mixer without multitracking or processing, intended to be played in a random sequence.
"Only last week I said something about Marko Cicilliani, and that he seems to be one of the few 'no input mixers' would sounds different from Nakamura and this week I received a new work from him. And luckily I was right: it's still different from the 'others'. '81 Matters in elemental order' is not about elemental order, but all about disorder. Even when its hardly a new concept - the cd which you can play in any, random order (freundshaft, jos smolders and kapotte muziek did this more then a decade ago), it's still something that is fun (or get two copies and play on shuffle!). Cicilliani uses the chemical elements and has translated them into very short tracks, somewhere between thirty seconds and one minute. His playing technique has, as said, not changed. Hectic, nervous, not always the controller of feedback, quick moves and drone like sounds - they are all present here. Its of course an impossible task to say anything substantial about this, as such things as 'composition' doesn't count here. I can say that this is a nice toy to play with, or even one could try to actually compose with the 81 small elements a whole new composition - if only I had the time..."-Frans De Waard, Vital Weekly

Hampton man may be freed on house arrest pending sex assault trial
Leonard Aldrich, 64, of Hampton, is accused of sexually assaulting two young girls and a boy, now age 7, between December 2010 and January 2012.
He is charged with aggravated felonious sexual assault. His trial begins in May.
Judge Marguerite Wageling lowered Aldrich's bail to $1,000 cash from $20,000 – contingent upon him being accepted into the Supervised Community Release from Incarceration Program.
The SCRIP program is a program operated by the corrections and sheriff's department. Aldrich would have to be approved for the program to be released.
Defense lawyer Patrick Fleming said that arrangements have been made through Aldrich's family that he could live in a Hampton home and abide by conditions that he have no contact with victims or witnesses in the case.
Assistant County Attorney Stephanie Johnson argued for keeping Aldrich jailed, citing concerns that the county had no way to supervise him.
Wageling declared a mistrial during the second day of Aldrich's trial when it was revealed the defense did not have access to all documents from the state's Division of Children, Youth and Families concerning the alleged abuse.
Hampton police arrested Aldrich last Jan. 29.

Julie Messervy Lecture and Workshop
JULIE MOIR MESSERVY: Lecture and Workshop
November 9th and 10th
Lecture Friday night, Nov. 9th at 7:00 pm:
"Hearing the Stream with Open Eyes: Designing Landscapes that Fulfill our Longings"
Are designed landscapes—those created and crafted by landscape professionals—losing relevance in today's digital age? Julie Moir Messervy believes that they will if designers don't try harder to help get people outside again. The author of six books on landscape design, a noted lecturer, and an award-winning designer, Julie has spent her thirty-five-year career inspiring—through her award-winning design work—and educating—through her numerous articles, her blog, and her six books on landscape design, along with hundreds of lectures. Illustrating her points with her studio's wide-ranging public and private projects, Ms. Messervy explains the five paths she's taken to help homeowners and professionals to "hear the stream with open eyes".
Registration: $30
Workshop Saturday, Nov. 10th, 9 am to 4 pm:
"Creating Home Outside"
Creating Home Outside is an inspiring and informative workshop for landscape design professionals that includes lively lectures, illustrative images and plans, lively discussions, and opportunities to practice Julie's design principles and methods.
Over the course of this day-long workshop, participants are introduced to the Julie's design process presented in her award-winning book, Home Outside (The Taunton Press, 2009). After each lecture, participants engage in a series of short exercises that include collaborative hands-on activities designed to challenge their design capabilities.
Early bird registration: APLD members only $195, until June 15th
Open registration after May 31st: $275

Though we can't find much online about the making of the 1950 b-budget film noir Highway 301, we have a suspicion what happened during its production. The studio holding the purse strings, Warner Bros., had a look at the rough cut and said there's no way we're putting out a movie this intense. How intense is it? Influential New York Times critic Bosley Crowther called it "a straight exercise in low sadism." So what does a studio do when it has on its hands a movie it thinks is likely to bad vibe audiences right out of the cinema? Simple—tell the audiences before the movie starts how it's going to end. Get three sitting state governors— W. Kerr Scott of North Carolina, John S. Battle of Virginia, and William P. Lane, Jr. of Maryland—to announce in a prologue that crime does not pay, and that every member of the Tri-State Gang depicted in the movie ended up dead, except for one, who ended up in prison. Was Warner Bros. really responsible for such a blatant mutilation of Highway 301? It's a very good bet, simply because a screenwriter can't write a script that counts on the participation of three state governors. But for Jack Warner, well, all it would have taken was a phone call to each.
Writer/director Andrew L. Stone deserves a lot of credit for putting this together. He was an experienced hand at this point, but never before had he created something so innovative. Highway 301 ends on a down note with more moralizing, but sandwiched in between is a highly recommendable drama. Flawed, yes, but only due to the intrusion of front office types, we suspect. A re-release without the moral parentheses and intermittent narration would elevate this to classic status. The poster at top is classic in its own right. It was painted by someone who signed it Aziz, and the Arabic script in the lower right corner confirms it was made for release in the Middle East or North Africa, most likely Egypt, but don't quote us on that.

In 1894 a motion picture device called Mutoscope was invented. It worked by flipping a series of cards printed with still photographs. The cards featured slightly different versions of the same scene shot in sequence, and viewing them in rapid succession created a motion picture. Basically, the Mutoscope was an arcade attraction, and the films, viewed by one customer at a time through a peephole, often featured racy material. Much later, during the 1940s, a company called the International Mutoscope Reel Company began publishing what it called mutoscope cards. These were never meant to be used in actual Mutoscopes—instead they were cheaply printed pin-up paintings that people bought as novelties. We came across a set at an auction site recently, and so you see some here. These are collectible today because the artists were luminaries such as Earl Moran, Zoe Mozert, Billy Devorss and Gil Elvgren, and we have examples from those four and others below.

A while back we showed you the U.S. promo poster for the classic noir Laura. Today's version comes from Finland, where the film was released today in 1945. December is a dark, chilly time in Finland, and Laura must have seemed an appropriate film, with its dark, spare story of a police detective who falls in love with a dead woman whose murder he's investigating. The woman has been shotgunned in the face, and is personified in death by a beautiful portrait hanging over her mantel. The detective is completely baffled by the crime, but then a chance encounter brings everything into focus. If you haven't seen the film, we recommend it highly. Gene Tierney is at her most icily beautiful, and Dana Andrews does good work as a man in love with a woman who no longer exists. Unfortunately, the poster art actually gives away who the killer is by using a photo-realistic portrayal of the actor brandishing a shotgun. Maybe it's too small for you to see in this format, so we won't say more. But what a spoiler for the Finns that the artist—he's signed the work as R.X.Z.—made that choice, or was told to by the studio. It isn't as if the actor wouldn't have been immediately identifiable by them, since he was reasonably famous at the time and in the midst of carving out one of Hollywood's greatest careers. Anyway, excellent movie. If you want to read more about it visit our original post here.

Honô to onna, which for its English release was retitled Flame and Women (as well as the considerably less evocative Impasse) was a drama starring Mariko Okada as a woman stuck in a disintegrating middle-class marriage. The couple is unable to conceive a child, which is merely part of the problem. That's probably why when they opt for artificial insemination it does not save the marriage, but rather leads to a split and the woman's search for her new child's biological father. If you're thinking the movie doesn't sound like pulp material, well, you're right. But it's an important film about the role women were expected to play in Japanese society and how suffocating it could be, and the poster portrays emotional death by using a shot of Okada looking physically dead or paralyzed, and we think that's kind of pulpy. Honô to onna premiered in Japan yesterday in 1967. You can decide for yourself whether it's worth your time by viewing a trailer here.

We've been quite busy of late dealing with Thanksgiving. Actually, it isn't a holiday here, and we never paid it much attention when we lived Stateside, but now it's a good excuse to have our American friends over. Anyway, we haven't been posting much, but that'll change after this weekend. But we did want to share this nice book cover for Anthony Abbot's, née Charles Fulton Oursler's, Murder of the Clergyman's Mistress. Unknown artist, 1950.

You know, we rarely tell our friends we run a website. Experience has taught us not to. Those we tell usually comment upon the amount of nudity. Then we explain that Pulp Intl. is a historical site. We didn't invent the nudity—this is the perversion of your fathers and grandfathers. For some reason that never seems to deflect the criticism, but that's the way it goes. Anyway, here we go again into realms of historical smut with British photographer Harrison Marks and his famed erotic publication Kamera. The debut issue of this magazine sold over 150,000 copies, according to Marks' website, and the imprint ran for eleven years, from 1957 to 1968. The cover you see above is issue 80, with model Louise Worth, and we have a few interior scans below. You'll notice the pubes of the models have been disappeared into secret torture sites or something, but that was mandated by existing laws at the time the photos were made, and really, the allure of the shots is intact. There's plenty of material online about the life and death of Harrison Marks, so we don't have to go into more detail. We'll just add that to enjoy vintage pulp is to spend time drawing connections between that and film noir, sleaze literature, pin-up art, burlesque dancing, early erotic movies, and many other art forms. It's difficult to say when all those end and porn begins, but we know we haven't come close. Scans below.

Today we're back to Mexican pulp art with a piece from an artist who has signed his work R. Rojas Ordonez, someone we've never heard of before. A bit of text on the back of the painting suggests that the skull is somehow controlling the action here, maybe causing one of the characters to act while under a trance. Mexican art has used skulls as a major motif since at least the time of the Aztecs, and it has since been explored by everyone from Diego Rivera to contemporary graffiti artists, so we particularly like how this painting fits into that tradition. As we mentioned back in July when we shared five pieces from Dinorin, this style of art blossomed in the 1970s as covers for Mexican comic books, which makes it post-pulp rather than pure pulp. But the feel is certainly right, and collectors are responding, snapping up examples like this for hundreds of dollars. We'll share a few more of these later.

In our last letter, we wrote that the catalyst for higher interest rates would be a steadily improving U.S. economy. While average GDP growth remains around 2%, the Federal Reserve is forecasting accelerating growth in the second half of 2013, prompting discussion of tapering bond purchases. This conversation created confusion in the marketplace, since unemployment and inflation remain…Read more

Intel will add one more 45nm desktop processor to its E8000 family in January 2008. In addition to the E8200, E8400 and E8500 processors of the E8000 family, Intel plans to launch the E8190. The CPU will have a frequency of 2.66GHz, L2 cache of 6MB, and FSB of 1333MHz. It will be priced at US$163 in 1000-unit quantities. Although E8190's specification is similar to that of the E8200, the CPU does not support virtualization or Trust Execution Technology, and will only focus on the OEM market where it will be slightly cheaper when purchased in large volumes. Intel is also planning to launch the Core 2 Duo E5000 family to replace the previous E4000 family in the entry-level market. The first product from the E5000 family will launch in April next year priced at US$133 in 1000-unit quantities. Specifications are still unknown. Source: DigiTimes
Damn you modern society! How am I supposed to avoid a life of crime when it's so easy to steal money from old people! Answer: you look to higher ideals. If supporting AMD is important to you so that Intel doesn't obtain an absolute monopoly and begin releasing crappy products, then go with AMD. Or, I guess if you want to be fair, just buy two computers, one with Intel and one with AMD.
@ mdm-adph ... I will still buy the Q6600... and overclock the living **** out of it, more cores, more cache. Seems like a better value, no?
I don't know -- how does the Q6600 bench in relation to the upcoming Phenom X4's coming out in a month or so? I had thought the Phenoms, if not faster, would at least be competitive on a price/performance basis, especially to the (now) older Core 2 Quads. But anyway -- if saving money is all you're worried about, then you missed the point of my earlier post.
Nice, soon there will be a prosessor worthy of upgrading without overclocking (not that I'd leave it stock xD), but that 6MB cache must help to even things out compared my tiny 2MB.
I would like to see a 800FSB device on the new fab process and new cache While the new CPUs are exciting, with locked multipliers, and with a STARTING FSB of 1333, we aint going to get much overclock out of them. Shame. Also, as a drop-in to mainboards limited to 1033, they will effectively be DOWNCLOCKED :-( Intel should not forget the "drop-in replacement CPU" market... not just lauch CPU for new mainboards at 1333
What -- and miss the chance to charge you for a whole new motherboard? Fuggedaboutit. Of course, AMD isn't much better in this aspect. :shadedshu
I wasn't being serious. Silly bugger. Boring and straight forward translation of my last post:- It's getting tough to be an AMD supporter with the kind of offerings Intel has.
to each their own. Ill continue to support and buy AMD products. As was stated, I dont want Intel to have a monopoly, contrary to some users on this forum. Its good to see Intel finally start innovating and offering alot more procs for everyone. AMD used to be decent at doing this, but with the release of the C2D and C2Q, theyve fallen behind. I think the split concentration on ATI and AMD is hurting them, to be honest.
I don't think anyone wants Intel to have a monopoly, they are just acknowledging the apparent sentiment that Intel is surging above and beyond AMD at this point. And going with the (currently) superior product at a superior price. What's great is that AMD is in many ways responsible for Intel's recent colossal explosion of great products. The past competition from AMD has done exactly what one would hope - stimulate innovation from a giant like Intel, who not only makes great advanced in the tech, but also in price. It's unfortunate that AMD/ATI doesn't seem to be making this up in it's GFX card branch either...although they are hardly taking a real beating from Nvidia...but they have been playing catch-up in that venue as well.
