The black anodizing finish sucks. Why didnt they make it with stainless stell as in 4. The scratches didnt show up as much on edges.
Has anyone tried teh castello davarg cases in leather? I am planning to get one but i need some feedback if it works well. Looks good in their website. |

I'm in the same boat, have until the 15th to get it replaced I have a 16gb black and the back has some spots on it, yet the bezel is perfect no nicks or scuffs. Ugh. Anyone think they fixed the issues with the black or no?

As a reward for it being aluminum it's thinner, lighter, doesn't shatter, and is much more likely to survive a drop and still be usable. But ya, it does scratch slightly easier if you don't care for it... The "problem" is with user expectations. Not the best iPhone ever produced (the 5). Enjoy the phone |

I also wanna throw in my 2 cents about the iphone 5 (black) build quality:
I received my iPhone 5 two weeks ago and it had a dent on the left frame, right out of the box. There was also a glue stain on the top. Apple customer service was very helpful and they sent me a new iphone. I took the new one out of the box and it didn´t show any dents, scratches etc. However, after only 3 days of using it, I can already see some silver spots (sice of a dust particle) on the frame. It´s the black coating comming off. I am absolutely sure that I have not damaged the iphone myself, since the spots are right on the edge of the frame (just where it touches the display) and you can´t even touch that spot with your fingers. Also, I carry it in a soft pouch. My question is if this is "normal" and something you simply have to life with with the black iphone 5 or if it´s yet another faulty iphone and should be replaced again. I am really not searching for problems and I get that not every product can be a 100 % perfect, but I don´t wanna be stuck with an iPhone where the frame sort of destroys itself. |

It's normal, something you have to deal with if you own a black iPhone 5. That's why I bought a Lumia 920.

Got a week 47 iPhone yesterday. What a beautiful and solid phone. It does have a small dent on one of the corners OOB. But I am not OCDing over it. As long as it's not something like dead pixels, battery problems, signal issues, I don't care.
Overall, I am super happy. Let's see what long-term durability is like. |

I think the black edge design is poorly thought out by Apple. Anodizing does not last on sharp edges. Apple could have used a PVD or used a rounded edges to prevent the edges from being 'broken' in.
I dont like bulky cases, so I settled with the Davarg case, which almost looks like an expensive leather wallet. The edges protrude out so hopefully it gives more protection than the bare phone. After all this is real leather and made in USA and from everything I have seen so far, it is going to outlast the iPhone 5 life cycle. http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/010..._large.jpg?280 |

The VAST majority of folks have NO problems. Might a few abberations exist? Sure. Luckily, unlike our plastiphone Samsung frenemies, iPhone owners can arrange a simple swap in the event they do receive one of the few hundreds of phones that have actual problems. If you need to return dozens of phones I've got news for you: The phone isn't the one with the problem |

Again, not saying there aren't cases of machining marks happening out of the box, just that it has been blown WAY out of proportion (especially when you consider that with all of the pages of replies we have here, there have STILL been less than 1000 claims). Apple has not confirmed any problems at all. TIME magazine named the i5 the "gadget of the year" (over the SGS3 and Note 2 BTW). The phone is still selling as fast as they can make them, nearly 3 months AFTER launch. "Scuffgate" isn't real. It's a way for those with OCD to justify returning phone after phone in the search for "perfection" and to not feel as crazy as they look in doing so. It's ok. They are well within their rights to return it as many times as Apple will let them, but I stand by my statement: The phone isn't the one with the problem. |

I second that, my good sir. I am testament to not being overly OCD about my phone. I had several iphone 5s with little scratches I could live with. But even those who are not OCD got busted up phones. In fact, one of the times I was at the apple store, the genius opened 5 replacements.
He did not do this because I asked him to (the phone I had brought in had a large chip in the screen), he continued opening iphone 5s because he said he would not give me something that looked like it had been dropped and dragged against concrete. Oh and when I finally got a phone that didn't look like crud, two weeks later , the screen goes completely dead. My replacement arrives tomorrow in the mail. |

I really don't understand how you expect the phone NOT to get scratches if you aren't using a case. Seems obvious.
Also surprised so many people carry their phones without a case. I'm definitely getting a case if i get a 'smart'phone. |

It should hold up better than that. I have my headset plugged in 2 times a day about 30 min. But your right about the friction point. The jack on the cable is angled, so it gets turned alot, therefor the friction. People with "normal" straight jack cables wont get the same friction, so maybe it´s not a problem for others. But I cross my fingers for a new one! |

"Older, stained, not clean, was not comfortable"
I had to make an unplanned trip to the area. I booked this hotel a few days before I had to travel, and selected it based on the Wyndam name and rate. The hotel is in a very bad location. There is almost nothing around it. I am sure that the hotel was nice when first built, but it looks as if nothing had been updated. The carpeting is very stained and […] dirty it makes the whole place feel dirty. The lobby is displaying Christmas decorations that must be as old as the hotel; my stay was in September. The bathroom in my room did not have a tub, which is not a problem, but the shower was stained and not clean. If you are visiting this area, you need to stay on exit up near the mall; there are many more choices. IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

"Pretty good, but not perfect."
Some minor complaints--the in-room coffee maker leaked but was mostly usable, one wall lamp was burned out and the vent fan in the bathroom didn't work. I didn't bother to mention these things until I checked out because they weren't enough of a problem. A slightly more serious complaint was the cheap construction. I could hear the floor creaking above […] me when the person in the room above me walked around, and I could hear their toilet flush fairly loudly in my room. There were very few people in the Hotel, and no one to either side or across from me, so I don't know if the walls transmit as much sound as the floor/ceiling. I often wear ear plugs when I sleep and always take them when I travel because a lot of hotels seem to be like this, so again this didn't present much of a problem for me. The room was absolutely spotless and though the hotel-room air-freshener smell was very strong, it wasn't unpleasant. The internet connection was fairly slow for browsing, and impossible for downloading a 100 MB file I was trying to get. The download kept stopping--I just gave up after a while. If you are patient and just need the internet, it's acceptable, but if you need to download anything over a few megs, I recommend going to an internet coffee shop or something.

THE MAROON ESTABLISHED 1923 VOL. 73 NO. 5 Loyola University New Orleans FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1994 Beggars take steps to return By ELIZABETH KEENAN Staff writer The Beggars fraternity, suspended from campus in 1989 for hazing violations, has decided not to renew the lease on their Broadway fraternity house, a move that is widely interpreted as an attempt to return to the university as a chartered fraternity. In addition to the Beggars giving up their fraternity house, they must followfollow certain guidelines set up by the Interfraternity Council. Chris Cameron, coordinator for Student Activities, said that in 1989 the Beggars approached the university about rechartering. The IFC then set up certain criteria that the Beggars must adhere to before returning to campus. "One of those guidelines, among the others, was that they become affiliated with a national organization, and they have yet to do that," Cameron said. "The policy of all Greek organizations, according to the handbook, is that they be affiliated with a national organization. So that's what they need to do in order to come back." Cameron added that the IFC was receptive to the idea of the Beggars returning to campus. Harper Carroll, Beggars president and pre-med/biology senior, said that FILE PHOTO The Broadway house, adorned with the Beggars fraternity logo, will no longer serve as the organization's home. The fraternity has decided not to renew the lease on their house in an effort to return to campus as a chartered organization. Faculty member accused of assault By PETER REICHARD Editor in Chief In a public letter dated Sept. 29, Robin Denise Sidney Kirk, drama senior, accused David Johnson, technical director for the drama and speech department, of physically assaulting her. Two days after the incident and after speaking with Georgia Gresham, chair of the drama and speech department, Kirk sent copies of the letter to the administration, faculty members and The Maroon. According to Kirk, who is a technical assistant in the drama department and Maroon columnist, she was standing in the stairwell outside of Lower Depths Theater conversing with Steven Reed, drama junior. It was just before 8 p.m., and Kirk and Reed were preparing for rehearsal for the production, Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus. "All of a sudden, the door just totally flew open," Kirk said. "Mr. Johnson pulled me by my overalls." Kirk said that Johnson pulled her into the theater; she hit the corner of the wall as he "dragged" her through the entrance."I strongly feel that if the action had been any more forceful, I would have fallen and possibly hit my head," Kirk stated in her letter. Kirk said that Johnson did not speak to her "at all, before, during or after the incident." "I don't know why he did what he did," she continued. Johnson declined to comment about the incident. "It's a personnel matter," he said. "It's inappropriate to comment right now." After rehearsals that night, Kirk said she went to Gresham's office and told her what had happened. "She was, I would say, concerned, a little shocked," Kirk said. Gresham would not comment about the incident, except to say that it is currently being investigated by both the drama and speech department and the administration. Vincent Knipfing, vice president for student affairs, also refused to comment.Drama students close to both Kirk and Johnson claim that the incident is rooted in a "power struggle" between the two, which has been going on since the beginning of the semester, when Johnson became technical director. According to one source, who asked not to be identified, it began when former Technical Director Johan Godwaldt was fired last year. The source said Loyola acknowledges gap between blacks, whites By MICHELLE HUDSON and RENE KELLER Staff writers There are various divisions among the student body at Loyola, but there is one that is the most obvious and harder to justify—the division between black and white students. On a typical day, one can observe this division by eating in the Orleans Room. Students of different races sit with students of the same color. Some students believe this separation is not linked to racism or division. "Yes, I've noticed that certain students eat together, but it's not that they're racist or racism is involved," said Angela Michaelson, general studies freshman. "They're just eating with their friends, who are black and white." However, Enezuem Hunt, pre-engineeringpre-engineering freshman, believes that the division between black and white students is due to racism, but said that students could learn about each other's culture if they would attempt to interact. "Black students tend to hang out with only black students and whites do the same," Hunt said. "Students could be brought together if the two races try to understand each other's culture and backgrounds."Jason Melancon, general studies freshman, believes that the issue of students socializing with others of their own racial or ethnic background is related to one's environment. "[The division is] small but an evident problem because we were reared in a position to think and act that way — in a manner which separates blacks and whites," Melancon said. "[lt is a] common thought that groups want to sit together for lack of losing strength in numbers. "Students should come together. Why not? If we regulate ourselves then we will never know what we are fully capable of doing together. I think that it would take some serious thought by [everyone] to realize [that] there is no reason why we should segregate ourselves."Loyola's administration tries to act as a mediator to ensure that students have the opportunity to learn about the differences between the campus' cultural diversity. v The Rev. James C. Carter, S.J., university president, is creating a committeecommittee to handle disputes underlined with racial and ethnic issues. Student Affairs encourages students to have an educational experience that includes learning about various ethnicities through volunteer programs such as "Bridging the Gap" and "5 on 5." "We've kind of found that if you can't break down barriers by helping students to build friendships, or at least build an understanding of each other, you can't really know how someone acts or feels," said Vicki McNeil, assistant vice president for Student Affairs. "I'm not sure we can do that, but I think we can at least expose students to each other in structured settings and give them a chance to maybe develop friendships with people who are different than they are." McNeil said that Student Affairs requests that each college and administrativeadministrative component of Loyola reflect society's ethnic and racial population in their staff. "Departments in the divisions have certainly been directed or encouraged to look at diversity within their staff— the professional staff and students there — and I think we've made some real in-roads in that area," she said. J.W. Gaulding, communications senior and co-president of Loyola's National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said that there is a division between black and white students, but the division is not defined. "There is a level of comradery among the student body. The division is more a specific ideology, an understanding," Gaulding said.

Will LeBron James Buy In Miami?
Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping
But where will LeBron lives permanently once he heads to Miami? One rumor had him making an offer on a $49.5 million waterfront estate in Coral Gables. Coral Gables is home to many athletes but a 20,000 square-foot house would actually be a step down for James who has a 35,000 square foot palace in Akron, Ohio. Will that home hit the market? It seems unlikely. The home was built to his specifications and he'd be hard-pressed to get any decent return on his substantial investment. He also has deep ties to the community.
Another potential neighborhood for LeBron James could be Star Island, the former home of Shaquille O'Neal. But LeBron James might want to wait before putting down real estate roots. Some of the athletes we've seen try to sell their home in Florida have had a rough time including Miami Heat's Dwayne Wade who struggled to unload his Pinecrest home.
The Huffington Post has a list of ten Miami mansions for LeBron James to consider including the incredible Setai penthouse we recently had as an estate of the day.

They don't want those at -- pat downs then you are really not gonna like this senate Democrats moving forward with a plan to make passengers pay more for them.
They say the extra money is needed to plug the transportation security administration's budget gap.
The hike will double the -- for passengers taking nonstop flights.
A major allying groups slamming today that move saying lawmakers should welcome -- the TSA of waste security.
But -- thoroughly agrees do you want to privatize the TSA is his government run right now well.
All I can say is we certainly can privatize it you can get more bang for your buck I mean I didn't say that sort of beginning.
I see what they did at the 9/11 he -- the -- is -- with ex security guards anyone they could fill in there.
You could bring in the military people coming back from Afghanistan.
And -- Iraq brain all his young men and woman over the -- be happy to have the job.
Did you ever go through the TSA -- for good over -- is -- over abundance of people doing nothing you could cut and enhance.
Give them get professional people in there.
And do the job a lot that it -- we get it and not too long ago on this program we ran the story of -- 184.
Million dollars worth of equipment sitting in a warehouse I believe doing absolutely nothing on used it was security screening equipment that you that's a picture of it on the that's another side of -- -- you got a guy cool journal this is on -- aboard this company with this new thing that -- your body parts it pops.
It's a -- it's a screening do you walk through you put your hands up.
That machine that can't detect explosives.
They have technology that they -- just making contracts like that.
And thrown these things out that.
Get the best the -- technology you've got technology could -- breakdown.
And you can see the components of explosive -- -- to use a double a double whammy and it's -- you look for explosive plus you look for some on the body to.
But let's get back to the -- -- -- Very unprofessional.
From the beginning they stuff -- dated Jimenez and actually got they stuff but -- did the main push them and most -- -- thank you very much into it.
I don't think you right.
Unprofessional not that I've been through those security screens -- many many times I don't find them on professional and you're trying to tell me.
That you bring back a -- from Afghanistan or Iraq a young marine for excel and he's gonna do a nice pat down.
I'm telling -- do you have people there that are professional.
They have a lot of law enforcement gentlemen ladies that I run into and I see a man they say -- -- But Bob told about this a lot of the mall within an out of efficient as they should be.
You should categorize them and you should rate the performance like get any other job and if they're not doing their job probably get rid of all -- regular a New York City detective right yes are you giving us an honest assessment tightness of the -- I'll tell you -- to -- New York City puts a bomb and out there.
To have what 4040000.
-- Pay -- more money and make them what profession he used 20000.
-- and give -- -- professionals the way to go they did today TSA right now is a professional organization I don't think that it is as professional as they can be.
And I think by using -- in military what privatized you think there'd be more professional I'll take it on people.
I'll take it on tomorrow as a private -- security remember nobody -- got on board a plane in America I don't think with a bomb.
Since 9/11 I don't think they have what you've got to remember how many bombs that actually went on to those planes how many whether we don't know there's nothing that's happened.
But the -- CIA and our intelligence group have averted a lot of these problems before they have.
Then I could become a break into it into a cockpit anymore -- up on that stuff.
But I'm talking about professional life that the SA more.
Give more for you -- I want paying an extra five to involve my ticket but give me -- professionals -- bogeyed a week hey yeah.
We always do it you gotta hear me still I always do a deal like your remote today -- and to.

Daniel Gallington is the senior policy and program adviser at the George C. Marshall Institute in Arlington, Va. He served in senior national security policy positions in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Department of Justice, and as general counsel for the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
Too many of our national security policies, practices, and decisions operate to encourage and embolden our sworn enemies, rather than deter or discourage them.
For example: Our responses to the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, the attack on Khobar Towers in 1996, and the attack on the USS Cole in 2000 all demonstrated a lack of resolve to terrorist organizations and their state sponsors. Why? Because we regarded these attacks primarily as criminal matters, rather than requiring strategic responses.
This tendency continues as we struggle to deal with the lethal attack on our consulate in Libya—a well-orchestrated "coincidence" with 9/11. For political reasons, the administration is reluctant to concede that it was yet another terror attack—suggesting to terrorist sponsors that we will look the other way if we can. Calling it a "crime scene," for example, perpetuates this fiction.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the turmoil in the Middle East.]
Our reaction to 9/11—a wide scale strategic (i.e., political, military, and economic) attack on the United States, killing nearly 3,000—was not near the bold stroke it should have been: Osama bin Laden and his "leadership" should have been dead on 9/12 and the so-called "ungoverned regions" of Afghanistan and Pakistan should have ceased to exist. No one could have legitimately questioned the scale of such a response as the Twin Towers smoldered and the Pentagon burned (recall that the 9/11 Commission assumed the White House or the Capital Building were the likely targets for the fourth airplane). Accordingly, we literally had "license" to do whatever was necessary to eliminate the threat. We didn't—instead we invaded Iraq.
The war in Iraq—especially post-Saddam, and after the WMD issue was settled—was a grueling and painful expenditure of precious human capital. Not to mention the longer-term damage to our economy: This hugely expensive war was paid for with mostly borrowed money.
[See Photos 11 Years Later: Remembering the 9/11 Victims.]
So, how do we stop our free fall into the "great power emeritus" category? Here are some very basic things that should be done:
- Rewrite our strategic policies and targeting doctrines to address terrorist threats and attacks, and establish guidelines for the attribution thereof.
- A high-level and "blank sheet of paper" review of the "roles and missions" of our military services—on the scale of that done after WW II.
- Similar review and critique of the operation and effectiveness of the Department of Homeland Security, together with recommendations for substantive statutory and regulatory revisions.The department, created over the objection of the president and primarily as a cash cow by Congress, must begin to demonstrate competency in its core responsibilities—so far it has not.
- Similar review of all intelligence roles and missions, including the creation of a fully integrated and capable CIA-DOD command for overseas operations.
- New laws and executive orders relating to cybersecurity—patterned after the oversight structures we have for intelligence activities. The new regulatory and statutory environment would give responsibility for "stress-testing" the security of our "critical information infrastructure" primarily to the National Security Agency, pursuant to the attorney general's privacy guidelines and regular oversight reporting to the national security committees of Congress. DHS is simply not up to the task of protecting our cyber vitals.
- New privacy laws and regulations concerning the commercial collection, storage, and sharing of personal data and information, including attorney general oversight and congressional reporting.
- Total revision of our national counterintelligence structure, including creation of a new, fully empowered and independent counterintelligence agency with emphasis on the protection of our new technology and intellectual property.
- Major public and private investments in alternatively produced fuels, especially for diesel and aviation use—e.g., algae—together with comparative studies of the energy policies and practices of major world energy consumers like China.
- Creation of a new agency with both the legal authority and technical means to produce and distribute international media and material of political and strategic enhancement to the United States and revision of laws, regulations, and oversight policies that pertain to this activity. We allow other nations to influence our public opinion—like Russia's RT—and we should be active in overseas markets and areas as a basic condition for access to ours.
- A major refocus of United Nations—and related multilateral diplomacy to key bilateral relationships like India and Brazil.
- Revitalization of NATO, other regional security arrangements and "like-minded nations" like Russia—with special emphasis on joint actions to neutralize violent non-state organizations, radical factions, and their leaderships.
This "bucket list" list should keep Washington busy. However, if we don't, can't, or won't do it, we will see an accelerated decline in our ability to influence our vital national security interests and basic economic competitiveness. Worst of all, it will continue to be "open season" on America for terror attacks.

Oui Chef! Do I start with foie gras from the fridge or should I let it come to room temperature before it hits the pan? I think you need to find a goal race and go for it! Jason
Welcome to the board! You must be one of the slimmest chefs i have seen, does the running make up for the tasting? Simon.
Cheffy, that's the plan that I'm following. I started it in January, and my HM isn't until September, so I'm stretching it out a little. Going up a mile at a time seemed too hard for me, so I'm increasing by one half mile every couple of weeks. Tomorrow should be 9.5 miles. You and I are about the same build. I bought size 8 pants in Texas, after wearing size 10 for a few months. The slimming down does happen very gradually! Yesterday, I think a guy in the Austin airport was FLIRTING with me! What a concept. Good luck with the training! You're on the right track! Teresa

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2, PHP 5 <= 5.0.5, PECL ingres >= 1.0.0)
ingres_fetch_object — Fetch a row of result into an object
This function is similar to ingres_fetch_array(), with one difference - an object is returned instead of an array. Indirectly, this means that you can access the data only by the field names and not by their offsets (numbers are illegal property names).
With regard to speed, the function is identical to ingres_fetch_array(), and almost as quick as ingres_fetch_row() (the difference is insignificant).
Note: Related Configurations
See also the ingres.fetch_buffer_size and ingres.utf8 directives in Runtime Configuration.
- link
The query result identifier
- result_type
(Optional argument.) result_type is a constant and can take the following values: INGRES_ASSOC, INGRES_NUM, and INGRES_BOTH.
Return Values
Returns an object that corresponds to the fetched row, or FALSE if there are no more rows
Example #1 Fetch a row into an object
$link = ingres_connect($database, $user, $password);
$result = ingres_query($link, "select * from table");
while ($row = ingres_fetch_object($result)) {

Force India will run James Calado along with Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta at this week's Young Driver Test at Silverstone.
The 24-year-old Calado, who is currently competing in the GP2 Series, will share driving duties with regular racers Sutil and Di Resta over the three days with Force India yet to confirm the final schedule.
Calado has experience in a Formula One car as he conducted a straight-line aero test in the VJM06 before the British Grand Prix at the end of June.
"We are pleased to give James the opportunity to test with us at Silverstone, team principal Vijay Mallya said.
"As a graduate of the Racing Steps Foundation, his talent and determination have brought him to our attention and this is the ideal occasion to evaluate him further. The priority this week is to give the team a better understanding of the new Pirelli tyres due to be introduced next week in Budapest."

What began in the 1800s as a settlement of freed U.S. slaves is now the country of Liberia. It is struggling to rebuild after decades of brutal war and government corruption, which left a shattered infrastructure and scores of refugees from neighboring countries. On Africa's western coast, Liberia is bordered by Sierra Leone, Guinea, the Atlantic Ocean and Cote d'Ivoire.
Liberia has the world's third highest unemployment rate, its infant mortality rate ranks in the top twenty, and it is in the bottom ten on the United Nations' Human Development Index.
ChildFund is helping to make a difference through its work in Lofa, Gbapolu, Bomi, Grand Cape Mount and Montserrado.
"Where children were once recruited as child soldiers, there are now opportunities for them to play, grow and develop at our Interim Care Centers."
Where children were once recruited as child soldiers, there are now opportunities for them to play, grow and develop at our Interim Care Centers. We focus on rehabilitating communities and reintegrating war-affected women and children as well as internally displaced persons and refugees.
Our Community Education and Investment Project works to enroll demobilized child soldiers in primary school. We have built new schools and supported more than 110 schools with learning materials, including more than 75,000 books.
Through 240 Child Well Being Committees, 192 children's clubs, 60 youth groups and support groups and literacy circles for more than 1,700 women, we are helping to rebuild the country after years of war.
We've helped build Women's Centers, Peace Halls, Early Childhood Development Centers, wells, markets and community-based healthcare facilities to help deliver vital services and to help the country return to a sense of normalcy. ChildFund works to strengthen and empower communities to better support their most vulnerable members.
We have ongoing relationships with humanitarian organizations and the government of Liberia. We are transitioning to longer-term child protection and development programming.
Our Safeguarding the Future Effectively program in the Bomi, Gbarpolu and Grand Cape Mount areas responds to the needs of gender-based violence survivors and helps create awareness of these crimes through sessions on domestic violence, harmful traditional practices, women's rights, the consequences of gender-based violence and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS.
Many children in Liberia are without access to clean, safe water. Dirty stream and river water spreads a variety of preventable diseases. We construct wells in villages as well as provide training on hygiene.

1. Wrap it.
"Mexican goddesses were our inspiration," explains TIGI creative director DJ Riggs who created the gigantic synthetic buns woven with Mara Hoffman printed cloths. First, they crimped the models' real locks before securing their tresses under a synthetic hair piece. "Try it at home by braiding bits of fabric into your mane," Riggs says. "Think: Punky Brewster. It's a bit '80s, but the rough-and-tough texture makes it modern."
2. Smudge it.
"The high-arched, elongated eyebrows are [similar to] Frida Kahlo, but without the unibrow," notes expert Lottie for Make Up For Ever. She uses matte eyeshadow in the models' eye creases to create contours, Make Up For Ever Star Powder eyeshadow on their eyelids and Make Up For Kohl Pencil eyeliner to rim their peepers. "I blended it all with a bit of Vaseline to give it a different dimension," she explains.
3. Swirl it
Lottie created a sculpted cheek look combining two brown eye shadows. "It's easier for readers to use bronzer," she says. "Make a circular motion in the apple of your cheeks with your brush and drag it towards your mouth about a few inches away from your lips. Add a bit of highlighter to the tops of your cheeks."
4. Balance it.
To compliment the eye sheen, Lottie opted for Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense coral lipstick ("A nice pop spring color that goes with the collection," she notes) topped with a lipgloss.
5. Neutralize it.
The models' paws were painted with Dashing Diva Chelsea in the Buff nail polish, a nude hue with pink undertones. "The big trend this season is nails that look like an extension of your flesh," says lead technician Pattie Yankee (does this mean that nail art is taking a back seat?). "If you have a nail color that's close [to your skin tone], add some mineral makeup [in the right shade] to the bottle and shake it up to create your own."More from Fashion Week:

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation |
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (Ultimate Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray] | |
Price: $25.99 - Includes the Amazon Instant Video 24 hour rental as a gift with purchase. Available to US Customers Only. | |
> See additional offers |
The undisputed gem of the National Lampoon 'Vacation' series, the plot can be summed up very simply: idealistic family man Clark Griswold wants to host the perfect old-fashioned fun family Christmas. As all of us idealistic family men have discovered, there is no such thing as a perfect holiday, and that just about sums it up. The appeal of this film is that we can all relate to the disasters that holidays can become, regardless of how well-meaning we are and how hard we work to achieve them.
The cast is terrific. Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo (Ellen) are back as the Griswolds, with Juliette Lewis and Johnny Galecki assuming the roles of Audrey and Rusty. John Randolph and Diane Ladd are Clark's parents, while E.G. Marshall and the ultimate mother-in-law, Doris Roberts are Ellen's parents. Nicholas Guest and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss are Todd and Margo, the yuppie neighbors. William Hickey and Mae Questel (the voice of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl) nearly steal the show as Uncle Lewis and senile Aunt Bethany. Randy Quaid does steal the show - his "cousin-in-law" Eddie is one of the all-time great characters in recent comedy history.
The self-inflicted situations that befall Clark in his holiday quest are peppered with memorable dialogue and slapstick, yet believable enough to bring flickers of recognition to most viewers.
Read more ›I was extremely disappointed with the previous DVD release of this film which contained a pan & scan presentation and nothing more than a theatrical trailer in the extras department.
What we have here is a special edition of this great movie, which will contain audio commentary from both Beverly D'Angelo and Chevy Chase, a "making of" featurette, as well as other stocking stuffers which have yet to be disclosed at this present time.
Being a huge fan of this movie, I honestly can't wait for this release. "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" has become a holiday tradition in my home, and to be able to see it the way it was intended to be seen is truly a treat for me.
Aside from the features of the disk, the film itself is the true gift. One of the funniest movies today which still withstands the test of time even 15 years later. The premise is simple. Clark W. Griswold (Chevy Chase) is hell bent on having an old-fashioned family Christmas in his home, relatives and all. Of course, the hilarity kicks in when things start to go awry. There are so many hilarious scenes in this movie, it would be difficult to list them all. You have everything from an electrocuted cat, to a house with the brightest Christmas light display known to man. Let's not forget the dried up turkey, the saucer sled and the dog/squirrel chase! There's so much more I could say to praise this movie, but if you haven't already seen it, [I won't say more]

The Effect of Campaigns
There was only one poll of the U.S. Senate primary races, (from the Maine People's Resource Center, which I had a hand in), so we don't have much of a detailed picture of how voter preferences changed over time in the two races.
Because the survey was taken at the end of March and beginning of April, however, right after the candidates were confirmed and the campaigns began, a comparison with the actual results on Election Day can give us some idea of what effect the candidates' campaigns had on the results.
Making a direct comparison is difficult, due to the high number of undecideds in April in both races but we can approximate actual voter opinions by assigning the poll's undecided voters based on the choices of those who expressed a preference - basically assuming that undecided voters will either make similar choices to decided voters or won't vote.
Performing this comparison in the Democratic race shows that the last two months of campaigning made almost no difference in voter preference. Almost exactly the same proportion of decided voters supported Dill, Dunlap and Hinck on April 2nd as did at the polls on Tuesday.
This is likely due in part to the lack of a great deal of money in the race and a lack of defining issues or events that moved voter opinions. While Dunlap and Hinck may have had a bit of a monetary advantage, all three candidates were on a similar tier of fundraising and were able to engage in a similar set of campaign activities - mostly direct mail, paid and volunteer phone banks and online advertising. There were no major controversies in the race or ideological differences that received widespread media attention.
The Republican side had a bit more money and a bit more movement, but again initial name recognition and early voter preference predicted the broad outcome of the race.
This race can mostly be characterized by the loss of support for Charlie Summers over time as the other candidates raised their own visibility and as undecided voters made up their minds. In the end, though, Summers still maintained enough of his initial proportion of the vote to win on Election Day.
Money seems to have been a factor in this race, with the candidates who had good fundraising totals appearing to increase their support to some degree. The only two candidates to have a statistically significant increase in support, however, were Scott D'Amboise and Rick Bennett, with Bennett appearing to have run the most effective campaign. In the end it was not enough for him to overcome Summers' and Poliquin's early leads and he remained in third place in the final tally.
The overall lesson here seems to be that the most important factor for this kind of shortened, low-turnout primary campaign is what the candidates have done and how they are viewed before the contests began.
This campaign also proved once again that we shouldn't believe internal polls and claimed metrics of support. Whether it's Poliquin's secret internal poll or Jon Hinck's unscientific "survey," if they don't come with detailed information on results and methods, and sometimes even then, they aren't worth a warm bucket of spit.
Apparently, we also have to be skeptical of candidate's expressed levels of support even after the election.
"State Sen. Cynthia Dill capped a stunning darkhorse run for the Democratic nomination to the U.S. Senate with a convincing win in Tuesday's statewide primary[...] finishing a stellar campaign which began with few pundits giving her any chance," Dill's campaign declared in a late-night release on Tuesday.
Dill had expressed a very different sentiment a few weeks earlier, in a campaign email:
"The June 12 Democratic Primary is only 27 days away, and thanks to the hard work of our fabulous team and your help, we continue to lead. A Critical Insights poll released last Friday shows that I have the most name recognition among candidates vying for the Democratic nomination. This comes on the heels of an April 6th Maine People's Resource Center poll that also showed me as the Democratic frontrunner."

Your April poll, also worthless
So name recognition, and not campaigning, won this race?
Dill led by 4 points in your April poll, within the margin of error, with more than 50 percent undecided. Then, in June, your "straw poll" said Dunlap would win.
Dill won big ... by 9 points. So either your April poll was wrong, or this column is, and campaigns actually do matter. Which is it?
The graphic you've created above -- doling out April's 50 percent undecided proportionate to the votes the candidates ended up getting in June -- is about the most misleading thing I've ever seen. You didn't predict a landslide for Dill, and now you want to discount her campaign.
What's next, an endorsement for King?
How silly
"This campaign also proved once again that we shouldn't believe internal polls and claimed metrics of support. Whether it's Poliquin's secret internal poll or Jon Hinck's unscientific "survey," if they don't come with detailed information on results and methods, and sometimes even then, they aren't worth a warm bucket of spit."
So what was your pro-Dunlap "straw" poll worth?
straw poll
In terms of electoral predictive power? Nothing. And we made that fact very, very clear. That's why it's called a straw poll.

Imphal, Feb. 20: The Zomi community celebrated its 64th Zomi National Day in Imphal today. The Zomi Students' Federation, the organisers of the cultural programme, had invited chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh and other ministers for the event at Bheigyachandra Open Air Theatre here. The students group took this opportunity to apprise the ministers of the community's desire for peace, development and equality.
The Zomi community observes its national day in commemoration of a convention of Zomi leaders at Falam in neighbouring Myanmar in 1948. The convention had rejected British rule in Manipur and worked for democratic self-governance.The theme of this year's annual programme is culture conformity.
Chairman of the Zomi council, the apex body of the community, L.B. Sona, said the community was desirous to establish peace through political dialogue with militant groups from the hill districts, who are in suspension of operation agreement with the government.
Nearly 20 militant groups from the five hill districts are now in more than 10 designated camps, waiting for a political dialogue with government.
The demands of the militant groups include a "Kuki homeland" and protecting the interests of the community.
Sona called for bridging the hill and valley divide by integrating community knowledge for "collective survival."
The Zomi community is concentrated in Churachandpur district of Manipur and in neighbouring Myanmar and Bangladesh. Zomis living in other countries also observed the day.
Chief minister Ibobi Singh, who was the chief guest, did not make any commitment in his speech because of the election code of conduct, but called for dialogue to sort out all differences among the communities living in Manipur.
"I cannot make a political speech here today because of the election code of conduct, but I can appeal for peaceful co-existence among the different communities by resolving problems through dialogue and bringing development by working together. We all are Manipuris and citizens of India," Ibobi Singh said.
Ibobi Singh and other ministers, who attended today's programme, had to get permission from the Election Commission.
But there were fewer speeches and more cultural programmes during the daylong programme.
Well-known Tangkhul folk singer Guru Rewben Mashangva and singer from Mizoram, Mami Varte, also performed at the programme.

Natural Habitat
Thulamela, Kruger National Park
The erstwhile city of Thulamela provides ancient clues to a technologically sophisticated heritage, and the bedrock for a southern African cultural renaissance.
Augrabies flat lizards
A movement near your feet on the Augrabies Falls boardwalk. Suddenly a small, feisty and impossibly colourful lizard pops into focus. This is Broadley's flat lizard, which lives in little groups where rivalries and territory are all linked to their techni-colour markings. At night they forget their feuds and cuddle up together.
Boulders Beach penguins
The Boulders Beach penguins are about as famous as birds can be. They're also ever-more endangered. The birds, who draw crowds of visitors who can't resist their waddling ways, are under threat from loss of habitat, dwindling fish resources, and their human neighbours.
Seal Island, Western Cape
Seal Island in False Bay is home to well over 60 000 bawling, squalling, squabbling Cape fur seals. They're top of the menu for the great white sharks that patrol this area, and there's always a chance to see a spectacular (and bruising) encounter between the two species.
Crocodile cage-diving
If you thought shark cage-diving was an intense and extreme way of getting closer to predators in their natural environment, then you are in for a great surprise. Try crocodile cage-diving in Oudtshoorn for the ultimate close encounter with an ancient predator.
Rhino Walking Safari, Kruger National Park
You've done your Big Five safari game drives but now you want to get closer and more intimate with the bush. On a Rhino Walking Safari in the Kruger National Park you'll get close to the second largest land mammal on earth.
Tiger shark diving
Tiger shark diving in South Africa offers an underwater rush like none other, a diving adventure to remember forever. View these impressive predators in their natural environment, up close and personal, without being confined by a cage.
Sevengill shark diving
For a really special dive in a spectacular setting below the Cape Peninsula mountain range, book yourself a date with a prehistoric sevengill shark, in one of the few places in the world that you can dive with these rarely seen marine predators.
Snorkelling with seahorses in Knysna
Go snorkelling with seahorses in Knysna and encounter an enchanting little greenish-brown creature, a bit bigger than the palm of your hand, that has survived for 40-million years. It's an unforgettable diving experience.
Pelagic diving with sharks
Grab your flippers and fins and go pelagic diving with mako and blue sharks – two of the world's most majestic sharks. Head out to the deep ocean and search for the mako – the fastest shark in the sea – and the dazzlingly colourful blue shark.
Diving with Cape Fur seals
Fix your flippers, grab a mask and get ready to go diving or snorkelling with Cape Fur seals. If the weather conditions are right prepare yourself for a memorable experience. Cape Fur seals are great show-offs and may well treat you to a display of underwater acrobatics or surface sunbathing.
Meerkat adventures, Oudtshoorn
Just outside the Little Karoo town of Oudtshoorn in the southern Cape is a place where you can experience a meerkat encounter with a wild (but habituated) colony. It's the perfect way of meeting these charismatic suricates in their natural habitat. And then there's the whole of Route 62 to explore.
Overberg's Blue Cranes
Birding in the Overberg region is particularly rewarding for those intent on viewing the blue crane, South Africa's national bird. The area also boasts a number of other avian endemics and is protected by some interesting conservation initiatives.
Cape Peninsula baboons
The Chacma baboons of the Cape Peninsula, when left to their own devices, are interesting creatures that survive on a diet of fruits, roots, bulbs, insects, scorpions and even shellfish. But be warned, these primates are notorious for their destructive behaviour.
