I like this product as it gives skin that light airy feeling when you put it on, not too heavy, didn't feel cakey, and lasted me the whole day.The smell wasn't bad either. It also brightened up my face quite a bit. I enjoyed the texture. Comes in really cute packaging. My fave Benefit product! I think this product works more on lighter complexion though, as when I went tanning, it didn't brighten up my face as much as when I was a bit more pale. Will definitely buy again!.
This product was nothing special, and definitely did not live up to my expectations. I'm normally attracted to Benefit products because their packaging is so nice and everything looks great! But don't be decieved, because this was just a disappointment. It broke me out like crazy, and barely added any lasting "brightening". It looked good for a while, then seemed to do absolutely nothing for my skin. I have found that you also have to use an excessive amount to get any real results, which is a big con. It sinks into your skin without doing much, and feels a bit sticky. If you are easily prone to breakouts, I don't reccomend it. Not worth the money. . .just not worth it period.
I really enjoyed That Gal primer. It gives a soft light skin and helps keep oiliness for several hours. I'll certainly buy again.

A few months back, I splurged way too much at Sephora and made quite a few impulsive buys. This was one of them. I paid too much for a product that BARELY brightens the complexion, as it states. Upon application, yes there is a noticeable brightening effect. It loses its lustre quite quickly though, and instead of holding my foundation in place, it makes me appear much more oily than I really am. The packaging is cute, I like the light scent, and it does have a nice, smooth application. But that's not enough to impress me. It's supposed to prolong the wear of your makeup and give you an extra brightening glow. It fails miserably at what it CLAIMS to do. I will never repurchase.
Pros: nice smell, cute packaging
Cons: could not see any effect whatsoever; ridiculously expensive.
I really didn't know if this product did anything for me to be honest. I would say that on days that I've used this, my skin did indeed looked like it was glowing, and the effect pretty much lasted the entire day. Bonus points for the nice smell. As a primer, it's not as impressive because on a recent day outing , my make-up was gone in 60 seconds after being exposed in Manila's excruciatingly hot weather. I only got this in sample size but I wouldn't re-purchase because of the price, and the fact that I really couldn't say if it did anything for me. I've stopped using this though because of a recent awesome discovery, a BB cream from another brand which I will writing a review once I get the chance to.

I think this is meant to be a dupe like for Mac's Prep + Prime in Recharge or a Rimmel Fix & Perfect 001 but it definitely doesn't perform like its peers.
PROS: The smell is amazing. I actually looked forward to using the primer mostly because it smells so good. It feels nice and smooth on the skin. It initially is very refreshing to use because of the colour, smell and texture but that is short lived as it seems to sink into the skin.
CONS: Primer shouldn't sink into the skin like this does. The brightening power is shortly lived and doesn't really combat the dull after its been applied; but even so, I would buy it up everyday if it didn't cost so much.
I do notice a difference on days when I use That Gal and when I don't. Face looks more refreshed on days that I use it and make up stays longer too. This is the first and only primer I tried, so I am glad that it works.
Doesn't do anything for my skin neither does it make my skin look any better. Nice consistancy though, won't repurchase condering how expensive it is. I guess you're mostly paying for the packaging really
The instant perfector of dry, dull sallow skin! This product is not for everyone. It is nothing like those silicone primers so if you're looking for something like that, to prolong the wear and color of your makeup then this primer is NOT for you. What I believe it does is correct discoloration and sallowness of the skin and brightens and helps to perfect the look of the skin. It is perfect for people with dry skin who need brightening. I absolutely love the pink tone it leaves, making the skin appear younger, fresher, alive! Which is good If you're anything like me and look like a walking corpse. It's great if your skin lacks color and is dry but you do not want to tan or use fake tans. It's also great if you have dark skin that tends to look ashy. I absolutely love it, I find I can use much less foundation over top since my skin looks much healthier underneath and it adds more life to my foundation as well. I just wish they gave you more product for your money, it runs out so fast which makes it very costly.
When I first apply it it feels kind of dry, not silky or smooth.
It doesn't make any difference, my make up may last just a little bit longer than it does without this primer but I can live without it.

Here was 2.
What kind of fotos does one get on a dark and drizzly morning? Well, through a fence I snapped this one of the virginal Evening Star . . . in the boro less than 24 hours! And less than a year and a half after keel-laying down in Louisiana.
Alice Oldendorff came in this morning . . . the first moving vessel I spotted today AND the subject of my first ever post nearly six short and long years ago. Alice shuttles aggregates between Port of Bayside, NB and Brooklyn Navy Yard.
And even more virginal than Evening Star, here's DDG-112, to be commissioned in the sixth boro next Saturday.
USS Michael Murphy is named for a fallen SEAL and built at Bath Iron Works.
Here's Alliance St. Louis, a US-flagged RORO with
a smudge on her bow that resembles smudges I've seen on other ROROs. Anyone explain the origin of what appears to be primer paint over damaged coating?
Here's the Kirby barge Pacific, which
has this unusual feature midships.
Moving her eastbound was Amy C McAllister. The tanker in the distance off Amy's stern is Lia.
All fotos by Will Van Dorp.
Soon-to-be commissioned USS Michael Murphy will be open for tours tomorrow.
B. Franklin Reinauer made its inaugural visit to the sixth boro this week. Birk Thomas caught this shot. I featured it last month at splash here.
The same day, Capt. Jason (1982) breezed through the harbor, a first glimpse for me. I have not much more info.
Gulf Dawn appeared here.
And regulars include Catherine Miller,
Laura K. Moran,
Lucy Reinauer,
Evening Mist sailing here through golden evening sheen,
and Sassafras paralleling a container ship.
Except for the foto by Birk, all fotos by Will Van Dorp.
Unrelated: An intriguing and troubling story from gCaptain about a captain in prison in Panama. Maas Trader called in Red Hook just over two years ago.
First foto comes thanks to William Hyman, who took it eight days ago. Resolute waits along the dock in MOTBY for its next assist. In the background is a lesser-known 9/11 monument, a Tsereteli statue given to the US as an official gift of the Russian government only six years ago. Putin himself came here for the dedication. Resolute is six times older than the monument, and when it was launched, no doubt no one would have imagined a Russian-donated statue would stand anywhere in NYC.
Ireland dates from 1940; she first appeared on this blog only five months ago here.
No vessel makes more noise as it passes as OSG Vision. And if you don't know her power in "equines," check here. I guess that partially explains the throbbing, only partly since President Polk is rated at 57,000!
Amy Moran (1973, 3000 hp) assists OSG Vision and OSG 350 through the Kills.
Amy C McAllister (1975) follows McAllister Sisters (1977) to the next assist.

A few seconds earlier, McAllister Sisters used noticeable force to push Baltic's stern around.
There was once a Baltic Sea that belonged to the same fleet as Beaufort Sea (1971), but that other Baltic now works out of Lagos, Nigeria. I've written the new owners to ask for fotos, but . . . so far, in vain.
Bering Sea (1975) and Jane A. Bouchard (2003) spend some time at the fuel dock.
No tug appears on this foto, but some of you just know which tug is mated to RTC 135. Cruise ship, I believe, is Explorer of the Seas. Answer about the tug follows.
Gelberman (1980) may look like a tug, but USACE call it a "debris collecting vessel." More info on her can be found in this post from three and a half years ago.
Thanks to William Hyman for that first foto; all others by Will Van Dorp. And the tug mated to RTC 135 is Nicole Leigh Reinauer.
Mr. Pena . . . below is a foto of your life saver aka CABO ROJO taken in the East River NYC in November 2010. Note that on this day she was pushing three scows just south (west) of Hell Gate. The connection to your story was made by Gus Pervolarakis. Thanks much, Gus. Since I added Mr Pena's note to yesterday's post late (I do go back and add "stuff" sometimes), let me reproduce part of it here:
|"we owe our life to the captn and crew of tug boat CABO ROJO; they saved us from capsizing on 13 of may 1966 on rough weather crossing from cuba to florida; our boat was a 17 footer; l was 18 yrs old at the time. now at 66 l would like to have a photo of the ship or crew. … note at the time of our rescue, tugboat CABO ROJO was pulling 3 barges behind it with molasses on a trip from puerto rico to new orleans. who was to tell that [our] faint far away light was seen in the distance. it was going to be our salvation. thanks a million captn god bless. tugboat CABO ROJO and his crew. … our boat the ANITA was abandoned to the mercy of the sea; every time l remember seeing it fade away under the lights of the reflectors of tugboat CABO ROJO l can't stop tears . thanks again for saving our life. gratefully yours r.a pena"
I'm not sure where CABO ROJO aka Solomon Sea (ex-Brandon Roehrig) is at this moment, maybe tied up in the yard. Any commercial vessel coming upon a distressed boat in nasty weather would do the same.
Here's a scene I caught the other day when Hellespont Pride had just entered port. Shot was taken from Fort Wadsworth. Note where the lifeboat is, astern of the barge and Jane A. Bouchard.
A closer-up a little later and
still later. As with any safety drill, it's important to do these under calm, practice conditions.
Here the lifeboat's locked back in.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: OCHO tweets : I'm not trying to stir the pot here and honestly I have not read much of the back and forth between you and Rusty. I know how Rusty gets so please don't group me in to your debate but... Do you see the irony in the bold comments above? If Chad gets wide open for a td and Brady ignores him to throw underneath to WW who is to blame? If the guy is open for a td then why the heck didn't Tommy throw him the ball??? I mean I have read the same reports about the dropped balls in practice but I also read that he kept his mouth shut and worked as hard as anybody. I think it is the offensive coordinators job to make it work when you have 2 talented people dedicated to winning(Brady and Chad). In this case I think we gave up on him before he had much of an opportunity to play. I also understand why, being that Branch and Brady have amazing "chemistry". If he can't produce better then your top 4 targets then why try? How could Chad succeed when he gets 3-5 snaps a game? When we threw the 40 yard td to Chad in Denver why did he not play another snap after that 1st qtr play? Did he free lance and run the wrong route that resulted in a td? I just don't see the need to classify him as a failure because we have 4 players that are better then him in our current system, which resulted in the 2nd most passing yards in NFL history. If Branch went down for half of the year and Chad played actual starter minutes and our passing offense suffered I would be the 1st to call him a failure but as it is I don't see the point.

|Timber obligingly poses by the store sign.
But it was even more fun to stop by the store the other day with my horse-crazy daughter and see an actual horse clip-clopping up to the window.
This horse seemed far more alert than your typical horse. He flicked his ears constantly and turned his head in all directions to keep an eye on things. He didn't seem nervous--just extremely vigilant.
His exceptional alertness made sense when his owner told me that he was a young mustang she'd adopted a few months before. He'd only come off the range in southeastern Oregon in 2011. His name is Timber.
Timber's black hide and long, curling mane made his owner suspect that he had Friesian heritage. She also thinks he's descended from horses bred to supply the U.S. Army in times past--horses who were known as "remounts."
What she does know for sure is that Timber ran with a band of bachelor stallions. His watchfulness suggests that his specialty in that band was guard duty!
Timber was at the store that day to be fitted for a new saddle. Good luck in your new life, Timber!

Maple Dijon Pork Tenderloin
Don't you love when you can find local products, that cost way less than in the stores? This is the case with the huge bottle of maple syrup I purchased in Montreal. While at one of the popular markets, we ventured outside, only to step into Maple- palooza. Everywhere you looked, there was maple syrup, maple butter, maple taffy. I was so excited to relive some of my fondest childhood memories, by purchasing some maple taffy, straight off of fresh snow. The hot thickened maple syrup is drizzled onto fresh snow and it sets up into a taffy. With the help of a popsicle stick, you scoop and twirl the syrup, to enjoy as a snack. Once I had finished my delectably sinful snack, we perused the large display of maple syrups. We quickly discovered that this local syrup cost 50% less, than what we find in stores, in our area. I quickly grabbed a BIG bottle, to bring home.
There are many things I think go well with the maple flavour. One of those would be pork. So, I decided to take my tenderloin and marinate it in a combination of maple syrup and whole grain Dijon mustard. The sweet and savory flavour pairs so nicely with pork. Marinating made the pork so tender and infused it with wonderful flavour. While I decided to oven roast the tenderloin, this would also be perfect on the grill. The boys gobbled this right up and we all enjoyed it best served with my homemade apple sauce.
Maple Dijon Pork Tenderloin
printable version
2- 1lb pork tenderloins
3/4 C maple syrup
juice of half a lime
2 Tbs whole grain Dijon mustard
1 Tbs fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
To a small bowl add the maple syrup, lime juice, Dijon, thyme, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine and pour into a large zip top bag. Place tenderloins in zip top bag and seal, squeezing out as much air as possible. Smush the bag, to coat with marinade. Refrigerate for at least 6 to 8 hrs.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place tenderloins in a 9x13 baking dish, along with the marinade. roast in oven for 30-45 minutes (internal temperature should reach 165 degrees), basting with marinade, as it cooks. Remove from baking dish, cover and let rest for 15 minutes, before slicing.

If you detect a hint of a British flavor to this book, you're right. Jim Newman, the well-accomplished author, illustrator, and cartoonist of this book was born in Great Britain and grew up during WW II surrounded by aviation. It was a foregone conclusion that airplanes would be his life's work, whether full size or model. For years after the war he flew for the Royal Air Force (RAF), then as an engineer at British Aerospace. He came to the United States to work for Carl Goldberg Models in 1971. Since then his encyclopedic knowledge of aviation, his experience as a glider pilot and instructor as well as his inimitable artistic abilities have made a considerable contribution to American modelers in his extensive writing, his illustrations, and his design ability, not to mention his excellent droll British humor. This is a book that any aviation enthusiast will savor with Jim's experienced insight into some very interesting aircraft.
North American P-51 Mustang
"John Bell's drawing illustrates the classic (in the writer's humble opinion) 'birdcage canopy' version of the P-51. As already stated in the Foreword I promised that the reader would not see a procession of Cubs and -51s, the writer begs your indulgence in this instance because, among modelers, this version of the P-51 is the Cinderella of the marque. The -51D has little variety to commend it except in markings or in what one cares to suspend beneath the wings, whereas the earlier models can readily support a game of Mix n' Match."
Supermarine Spiteful XIV
"The classic, elliptical wing of the Spitfire reached its nineteenth mark number, then bowed out of the scene. In the search for more performance and better handling, slide rule cursors whizzed back and forth, pencils smoked and miles of beautiful blue tracing linen were consumed. The resulting new wing and redesigned airframe were so radically different many strongly felt the airframe was no longer that of a Spitfire, and that a new name should be chosen. However, the name remained right up to the last of the breed... The Spitfire F.24. What followed then, with straight lines to leading and trailing edges, was so unlike a Spitfire that a new 'handle' was inevitable... Spiteful."

Parks & Natural Areas
Tennessee is a rich and varied place with mile-high mountains in the east, the grand Mississippi River in the west and 19,000 miles of sparkling rivers in between. Parks, forests, birding, hunting, camping and water, water everywhere--Tennessee has a mind-boggling array of natural resources.
Investigate the beauty and mystery of Reelfoot, a cypress-filled natural lake in Tennessee's northwest corner, created by a series of earthquakes, where dozens of species of fish and shore and wading birds are harbored, including golden and bald eagles. Grab your binoculars and explore the diversity of habitats, stretching 65 miles alongside the Tennessee River, on Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge which provide ample feeding, nesting and resting areas for 301 bird species. Get spritzed by the highest waterfall in the eastern United States, Fall Creek Falls, laced with cascades, gorges, streams, and lush stands of virgin hardwood timber. Stride a celebrated riverfront greenway, Chattanooga's Riverpark, and cross America's longest pedestrian bridge, the Walnut Street Bridge, spanning the Tennessee River as it flows south-southwest. World renowned for its diversity of plant and animal life, the beauty of its ancient mountains, and its remnants of Southern Appalachian mountain culture, Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the largest national park in the east and America's most visited. A tour of the Smokies, by any means of locomotion, offers panoramic views, tumbling mountain streams, weathered historic buildings and uninterrupted forest stretching to the horizon.

Infrequently, at the conclusion of the initial consultation, we have two fairly strong diagnostic possibilities, and begin with treatment for one of them, now termed the working diagnosis, as the next step in finalizing a diagnosis. If a working diagnosis is relatively certain, we may begin treatment for that diagnosis. In other cases, additional testing is in order to try to solidify the working diagnosis into a final diagnosis.

After takeoff, the pilot reported "an engine problem," but did not elaborate. A witness on the ground saw that the left engine was trailing smoke, but the engine was still operating, and did not sound like it was "missing". When asked by the tower controller if he required assistance, the pilot answered "no". The controller cleared the pilot for left traffic to a landing, and provided the current weather. There were no further transmissions from the pilot. Smoothed radar tracking data revealed that the airplane turned toward a left downwind, and leveled off at 1,400 feet msl (about 1,050 feet agl) and 156 knots. During the next 14 seconds, the airplane descended to 1,100 feet and increased airspeed to 173 knots. Then radar contact was lost. Witnesses observed the airplane variously in a right snap roll and a left wingover, followed by a sharp dive to the ground. The airplane had just undergone maintenance. During maintenance, unused oil was found in the left engine cowling, which the pilot admitted he had previously spilled. Following maintenance, the pilot was observed adding 3 additional quarts of oil to the left engine. The engine oil dipsticks were calibrated on both sides, with each side pertaining to the oil level in a specific engine. The side for the right engine was calibrated to read 1 3/4 quarts lower than the left engine. The airplane's wreckage was fragmented. No evidence of mechanical defect was found, nor was there any evidence of an extreme out-of-trim condition. There was also no evidence of engine failure, detonation, or pre-impact failure. The pilot held an airline transport pilot certificate. He reported 3,210 hours of flight time to the operator, and had recently been cleared to fly the airplane on 14 CFR Part 91flights. The flight to the maintenance facility was the pilot's first solo flight in the airplane. An autopsy of the pilot revealed the presence of a prostate adenocarcinoma; however, according to his physician, the pilot was unaware of it.

On a hot fall afternoon just outside Charlotte, North Carolina, Antony Starr is busy getting punched in the kidneys, slammed against a wall and kicked in the solar plexus. As he pauses for a breath, a command comes: "Let's work on that strangling again!" Just a typical day on the set of Banshee.
Flash back to late April. On the first day of shooting, the actor playing Starr's opponent in a brawl came at him a bit too strong. "He cracked me in the face and split my lip open," Starr recalls, "but our schedule was so tight, I didn't get to the hospital for six hours." That's when Starr realized just how different filming Cinemax's noirish thriller would be from the comedies and dramas he was used to making in his native New Zealand. "They shot...

Also produced by True Blood creator Alan Ball, the show takes its title from the quiet Pennsylvania town in which it's set. But the relative calm of the rural Amish country locale is quickly upset when a recently freed ex-con (Antony Starr) comes to town and, in a violent twist of fate, assumes the identity of the new town sheriff Lucas Hood.Even though Yaitanes was looking to get away from lupus and lab coats, he says he found more similarities between Banshee and House than he first considered.

It's that time of the year when we honor both mothers and fathers, so today we salute one of each who got it right.
Pam: We struggled with infertility. I was afraid to adopt because I was afraid the biological parent would take the baby away. There was a big story about that in news at that time. But my husband Nick found an adoption attorney who knew the Illinois adoption laws. So while I was ready to fly to a foreign country to adopt, my husband calmly took control of the domestic adoption of both our boys.
When we brought our first son to our pediatrician, who was also a family friend, he told Nick not to be a 1950s dad. And he never has been. He's been hands-on since both boys were born.
He diapered them, fed them, gave them their baths and read and prayed with them every night. I think he's been a better dad than I've been a mom. To this day, he chauffeurs them to their activities more than me. He's been on their field trips, participated in Science Dads at their elementary school and even played St. Nicholas at our church. The joke around our home is that Dad is a better cook than Mom. It's true.
I'm blessed that I have the family I do — a loving, caring husband who's also a loving, caring father to our two sons.
Fiona: My late mother, Emily, provided unconditional love for me. Anything I did was wonderful just because I did it. If I played a piano piece for her, she'd tell me no one had ever played that piece so beautifully.
Of course I knew that wasn't true, but having her as my biggest cheerleader was very empowering.
Her love made me know that I could do anything. When I had important choices to make, I rarely had any self-doubt. I knew I could do anything because my mom told me so, and she'd never lie.
I sometimes think that all of the world's problems could be cured if every child had at least one person who thought the sun didn't come up until he or she was awake each day. Think of what could be accomplished if everyone knew they were capable of doing anything they set their minds to because they had that inner confidence that comes from knowing they were loved.
My mother wasn't happy that I decided to get an English degree, but once I was working in food marketing with a company car and gas cards, she bragged to everyone about her daughter, the college-educated executive. When I got married and starting having babies, each one of them was the most exceptional grandchild who had ever lived because they were my kids.
Mom's been gone for more than two years now, but I still miss her a lot. I got a tattoo with her name on it to keep her with me forever. I joke to my husband and kids that I really miss that unconditional Mama-love. I know my family loves me, but there's nothing like knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that one person in the world thinks you're magnificent. It helps you to believe it yourself.
I hope my kids know that I think that of them.

Red light camera fines start Friday
Updated On: Mar 01 2013 03:34:37 PM EST
Thursday is the last day for a warning grace period for red light cameras at two Jacksonville intersections.
Notice of violations will start being issued Friday for Southside Boulevard at Touchton Road southbound, and Baymeadows Road at Southside Boulevard eastbound and westbound.
Current updates on the other intersections are listed here.
In all, there will be 25 cameras that will be used to catch red light runners at 18 intersections in the River City.
The owners of cars caught running red lights at the intersections will be issued a fine of $158, no matter who is driving. No points will be added to the driver's license.
If the fine goes unpaid for 30 days or more, it becomes a citation, or an official ticket with a $274 fine and points on the driver's license.
The city projects the cameras will generate $1.5 million that will go back into its general fund.

The former Class One schoolhouse known as Stull School will again have children on the premises, but as a child care facility. Some final zoning matters must be completed first according to the Cassgram.
The Plattsmouth School District took over Stull when the Nebraska Legislature ordered Class One (K-8) Districts to merge with K-12 districts in 2006 and the Plattsmouth district closed the school before the 2007-2008 school year.
The Stull property has been for sale and will remain for sale, but the district has agreed to a $1,000 a month lease with Theresa Sherman, operator of the child care facility.
The district has been asking $100,000 for the property.
According to terms of the lease agreement, if Sherman decides to purchase the property within the first three months, all lease payments to that point will be deducted from the purchase price. The agreement also states Sherman has the right to match any bona fide purchase offer from someone else and purchase the property herself.

Record Number of Florida Students Take SAT and AP Exams
~ Florida's minority SAT and AP exam-takers outperform their national counterparts ~
TALLAHASSEE – Nearly 100,000 Florida students took the SAT this year, the most ever according to the 2008 SAT results released today by the College Board. In addition to record participation levels, the results also indicate that Florida's Hispanic and African-American students outscored their national counterparts on the reading and mathematics sections of the SAT by 37 points (953 combined score) and five points (861 combined score), respectively.
"These results are a strong indication that more Florida students are setting themselves on a path to a postsecondary education," said Education Commissioner Dr. Eric J. Smith. "While I am highly encouraged by this trend, we must continue to emphasize the need for increased access to rigorous coursework to ensure that our students are prepared for the challenges ahead."
The SAT consists of three major exam sections including reading, mathematics, and writing. Each section receives a score on the scale of 200–800. Traditionally, state and national averages are reported using a combined score of the reading and mathematics sections only. Even with increased student participation, Florida's average combined reading and math SAT score remained the same as last year at 993. For individual exam sections, Florida's average score was up two points in writing (481), up one point in mathematics (497) and down one point in reading (496) compared to 2007.
The SAT is a voluntary college entrance exam, and scores from the test can be used for admission to a state university, the Talented 20 program, for meeting qualifications in the Bright Futures Scholarship Program or for placement into regular college courses. Students may access information about the SAT and other college entrance exams through Florida's online student advising system, the Florida Academic Counseling and Tracking for Students at www.FACTS.org.
Florida's AP Participation and PerformanceThe College Board also released Advanced Placement (AP) results, and for the third year in a row, Florida had the greatest one-year increase in the number of public school AP exam-takers (increase of 14,151 exam-takers for a total of 117,698) when compared to all other states. Increases in Florida AP exam takers were highest among minority students. According to the College Board, Florida had the greatest one-year increase (30 percent) in the number of African-American public school AP exam takers when compared to all other states and the third greatest increase (14 percent) in the number of Hispanic exam takers.
Florida students also performed well on AP exams. Florida had the third greatest increase (5.9 percent) in the number of students passing (receiving grades of 3-5) AP exams when compared to all other states from 2007 to 2008. Nationwide, one out of every eight African-American AP exam-takers, and one out of every seven Hispanic AP exam-takers awarded a passing grade or higher was from a public high school in Florida.

Is it me or did this season feel especially long? Even with lackluster ratings and questionable judging, I hope FOX renews the show for another season. My advice is to keep Kelly Rowland. She was my favorite judge this year. Even her "greatest hits" judging clip on the finale was the best. Perhaps, it's because it featured all the cute guys she hit on during the audition process.
Speaking of the judges' clip, departing judge Demi Lovato wasn't impressed with her "annoying juice" segment. You can see her mouth "that's f**ked up" to Kelly and Paulina Rubio in the bottom corner while it played out. Personally, I think she overreacted. No one believed for one second that she was actually drinking alcohol.
Since I have plans immediately after the finale, I'm going to make this recap short and sweet. Find out the winner below along with some of the performances. Sadly, there was no number as epic as Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera's surprise duet on The Voice, but still a few standouts.
The 81st annual lighting of the world's most famous Christmas tree took place in Rockefeller Center last night. It was by far one of their most star-studded lineups yet. Mary J. Blige, Toni Braxton, Mariah Carey, Kelly Clarkson, Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds, Goo Goo Dolls, Ariana Grande, Leona Lewis and Jewel all performed. Undoubtedly, no one does Yuletide tracks better than Mimi. Naturally, all the female singers brought their "A" game for the diva duel. Who came out on top? Watch some of the performances below and you decide.
Just in case you were wondering, this year's Norway spruce came from Shelton, CT. It stands 76-foot tall and 47 feet in diameter and weighs approximately 12 tons. The tree is estimated to be about 75 years old. Reportedly, more than 45,000 energy-efficient multi-colored LED lights adorn the tree and features a 9 ½ foot wide LED-lit Swarovski crystal star on top.
Not in the Christmas spirit yet? Watching Leona Lewis' latest music video will change that in an instant.
The X Factor winner in her pimped out white Mercedes heads to her cabin nestled in the snowy woods. Once the tree is decorated and food prepared, her friends arrive for a cozy Christmassy good time. "One More Sleep" is one of three original tracks from Lewis' first holiday album, Christmas With Love. Check out the video below.
It's worth noting that Leona looks absolutely stunning in the clip. Simply gorgeous.
Kelly Clarkson isn't the only reality show winner to release her first Christmas album this year. Leona Lewis is also getting in the Yuletide spirit. Christmas, With Love consists of holiday classics along with original compositions including "One More Sleep," "Your Hallelujah" and "Mr Right" which were all co-written by Lewis.
The surprise and standout on the album is her rendition of "Ave Maria." The X Factor winner goes into full operatic mode. Apparently, before becoming a pop superstar, she trained in opera initially. Her past training is definitely evident on her cover. She impresses tremendously. Christmas, With Love is out on December 2nd in the UK and December 3rd in the US. Check out the album sampler below.
Kelly Clarkson isn't the only reality singing competition veteran to bring Yuletide greetings this year. Leona Lewis is offering up her own Christmas album. Titled With Love, Lewis' album will be more Motown-influenced. The lead cut, "One More Sleep," leaked online earlier today. Give it a listen below.
Leona's album will hit UK streets on November 24. Currently (and most likely never) there is no North American release date. For some reason Lewis isn't as popular on this side of the pond. Any theories on why? Sound off below.
British publication Heat magazine has ranked United Kingdom's richest celebs under the age of 30 since 2010. From the very beginning, Daniel Radcliffe reigned supreme among his peers. That is until this year's list. Not surprisingly the boys of One Direction knocked off Harry Potter from the top slot. With combined earnings of £59 million, the pop heartthrobs left their fellow countrymen (and women) in the dust.
Also making the list are Radcliffe's Hogwarts classmates. Both Emma Watson and Rupert Grint ranked in the Top 10 at No. 5 and No. 7 respectively. Hermoine isn't top bitch though. Earning the title as the highest-ranking female on the list is Keira Knightley at No. 4. Check out the rest of the Top 10 below.
OMFGGGGG! This is absolutely amazing. To celebrate a decade of the X Factor, the UK show has created a wicked mashup highlighting the biggest acts from the reality singing competition. From it's first bonafide superstar Leona Lewis to Series 9 winner James Arthur, the clip perfectly showcases the range of talent the show has discovered. Other acts included in the clip are Cher Lloyd, Alexandra Burke, Amelia Lily, JLS, Joe McElderry, Little Mix, Misha B, Olly Murs, Union J and of course One Direction. Hope I didn't miss anyone out. It really is a sensational video. It's a definite must watch.
American Idol should really consider doing the same to promote its upcoming thirteenth season. Can you imagine a video mashup with Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks, Fantasia, Phillip Phillips, Daughtry and countless other Idol alums. It would be epic.
Poor Leona Lewis. The 28-year-old Brit just can't get a break lately. First, she lost out "We Found Love" to Rihanna and now Ellie Goulding has taken her sloppy seconds, transforming it to a potential dance anthem. You know what they say. One pop diva's trash is another pop diva's hit song ;)
"Burn" was originally recorded by the X Factor winner for Glassheart but was removed when the album was retooled to include more ballads. Turns out, that strategy didn't work and Lewis' third studio effort was her only one not to debut at number one in the UK. It's a shame really because "Trouble" and bonus track "Collide" are pretty awesome.
The Ryan Tedder-produced cut is getting a second shot at becoming a global smash. Goulding is using "Burn" as the lead cut for her repackaged sophomore album Halcyon. Ellie has added more upbeat pop tracks in hopes of making Halcyon less somber and dark. As much as I like Leona and rooting for her, I prefer Ellie's vocals on the track. Check out both versions below and weigh in afterward.

Mridangam is a double headed leather drum. Mridangam is said to be the instrument of Nandi (the Carrier of Lord Shiva). There are two heads of which one gives out sharp sound & the other gives out a base sound. Usually for right hander the sharp side is played with the right hand & the base side is played with the left hand. This is opposite for a left hander.
The main materials used for this instrument are Wood, Leather & Carbon with iron powder mixture.
Wood: The most suited wood for this instrument is 'Jack Wood'. A trunk with minimum requirements for the instrument is selected for making of the Mridangam. Then it is cut to a shape which has two faces & hollow inside the trunk. The upper face is smaller than the lower face in diameter. The size of the wood differs on the pitch of the instrument.
The Sharp Side is the resonating side of the instrument. It's a very unique combination of materials that is used. There are three skins & minerals used for the Sharp resonating side. The face is covered with the skin in a particular shape and size with calculated calibrations. This face is called as 'Mootu'. There is a black eye on this side which is called the 'Karnai'. This is a paste of carbon iron powder & a different type of adhesive or with boiled rice which is used for putting the basic foundation for the 'Karnai'. The final layer & tuning is done necessarily with a paste of this powder with boiled rice only.
The left hand side is Base Side. This is combination of three layers of skin too. There are two outer thick layers which are cut round in the centre for the thin inner skin to be seen. The normal tone of the left is not tuned to Pitch. But the tone is reduced by applying a hand-made paste of batter mixed with water. This paste is made almost solid, but soft with a little moisture left. This paste is applied on the centre of the surface with the help of water and reduced to the required Base Tone. Nowadays there are some alternate pastes used for the same purpose.
The Playing technique is based on the combinations with the blend of strokes the right hand and left hand in a balanced format.
