Faust, Metropolitan Opera
At one point in The Met's history, Faust was performed so frequently that one critic in mocking reference to Wagner's opera house at Bayreuth coined the theater Faustophilhaus.
After the horrors of Jagoš Marković's production of Le Nozze di Figaro in Belgrade, I was apprehensive lest Nabucco in Serbia's second city of Novi Sad on 27th October would be transplanted from 6th century BC Babylon to post-Saddam Hussein Tikrit or some bombed-out kibbutz in Beersheba.
First Toronto, then Houston and now San Francisco, the third stop of a new production of Puccini's La bohème by Canadian born, British nurtured theater director John Caird.
Every once in a while Los Angeles Opera presents an important recital in the three thousand seat Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
This third revival of Laurent Pelly's production of Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore needed a bit of a pep up to get moving but once it had been given a shot of 'medicinal' tincture things spiced up nicely.
Founded in 1996, Samling describes itself as a charity which 'inspires musical excellence in young people'.
The good news is that you don't have to go all the way to Pesaro for great Rossini.
Maître à danser: William Christie and Les Arts Florissants at the Barbican, London, presented a defining moment in Rameau performance practice, choreographed with a team of dancers.
The most memorable thing (and definitely not in a good way) about this performance of Le Nozze di Figaro at the Serbian National Theatre in Belgrade was the self-serving, infantile, offensive and just plain wrong production by celebrated Serbian theatre director Jagoš Marković.
Should looks matter when casting the role of the iconic temptress for HD simulcast?
Maurice Greene (1696-1755) had a highly successful musical career. Organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, a position to which he was elected when he was just 22 years-old, he later became organist of the Chapel Royal, Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge and, from 1735, Master of the King's Music.
Yet another Tosca is hardly exciting news, if news at all. The current five performances have come just two years after SFO alternated divas Angela Gheorghiu and Patricia Racette in the title role.
What an enjoyable opportunity to encounter Dvořák's sixth opera, Šelma Sedlák¸or The Cunning Peasant!
Whether biblical parable or mythological moralising, it's all the same really: human hubris, humility, sacrifice and redemption.
Opera Rara brought a rare performance of Donizetti's first opera for the Paris Opera to the Royal Festival Hall on 4 November 2014, following recording sessions for the opera.
Bass baritone, Luca Pisaroni, known to opera lovers throughout the world for his excellence in Mozart roles, offered San Diego vocal aficionados a double treat on October 28th: his mellifluous voice, and a recital of German songs.
Jonathan Miller's production of La bohème for ENO, shared with Cincinnati Opera, sits uneasily, at least as revived by Natascha Metherell, between comedy and tragedy.
Any Florian Boesch and Malcolm Martineau performance is superb, but this Wigmore Hall recital surprised, too. Boesch's Schubert is wonderful, but this time, it was his Liszt and Strauss songs which stood out. This year at the Wigmore Hall, we've heard a lot of Liszt and a lot of Richard Strauss everywhere, establishing high standards, but this was special.
The weather was auspicious for Wexford Festival Opera's first-night firework display — mild, clear and calm. But, as the rainbow rockets exploded over the River Slaney, even bigger bangs were being made down at the quayside.
The cast of supporting roles was especially strong in the company's new production of Mozart's matchless masterpiece
The company uncorks its 40th Anniversary season with a visually and musically satisfying production of Johann Strauss Jr.'s farcical operetta
At one point in The Met's history, Faust was performed so frequently that one critic in mocking reference to Wagner's opera house at Bayreuth coined the theater Faustophilhaus.
Currently, what was once Gounod's most popular opera is now rarely performed at The Metropolitan Opera. With any luck, that is all about to change. On Tuesday, November 29th, The Met unfurled its first new production of Faust in quite some time. Despite some nerve wracking press in regards to the vision of its director, Des McAnuff, this production, which features a star-studded and extremely talented cast, put a modern face on a tried and true repertory staple. Despite occasional flaws, I hope to see this opera presented more often.
Jonas Kaufmann as Faust and René Pape as Méphistophélès
The orchestra was led adroitly by Yanick Nézet-Séguin. Given the current turmoil surrounding the orchestra and the fate of its beloved conductor, James Levine, it was a joy to see that the ensemble was still capable of performing with the artistry that Levine has so meticulously instilled in the players. Nézet-Séquin made his debut a few years ago conducting the debut of Richard Eyre's production of Carmen. Those performances showcased his penchant for extracting the quintessentially French qualities of French opera. It was wonderful to experience his ability to bring out the same qualities in Faust. His reading was replete with tension, passion, and lyricism; in short, everything needed to show the brilliance of this opera when performed at its best.
The stellar cast was headed by Jonas Kaufmann. This tenor, who has made a name for himself in French, German, and Italian repertoire, is still riding on the heels of his success in last year's run of Tosca. The applause that occurred in the second act of Tosca at his cry of "Victoria, Victoria", was an event never before seen at The Met that has reached something of a fabled status. A similar event occurred during Faust, after he sang his Act II show piece; he received not only the traditional mix of bravos and applause, but also hooting and hollering. As someone who has experienced countless operas, this overwhelming crowd reaction was a first for me. And it was heartwarming to behold. Needless to say, such a reaction was warranted in every sense of the word. His rendition of the aria showcased his adept management of dynamics. In addition, he is the vilest Faust I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. For instance, at the end of the fairground scene, which comprises the first meeting of Faust and Marguerite, he forced himself into a waltz with Marguerite despite the fact that she had just moments ago declined his flattery. Such a contrast between Marguerite's innocence and Faust's cruelty elevated the relationship of the two characters to that of Don Giovanni and Donna Elvira. In the Act III love duet, when faced with Marguerite's initial refusal, he forcefully tackled her to the ground. Needless to say, his strong acting was married perfectly to his masterful singing.
Michèle Losier as Siebel
Since her debut as Liu in Turandot, Marina Poplavskaya has created an impressive list of new Met productions. Now Faust joins Willy Decker's Traviata, and Nicholas Hytner's Don Carlo. Despite the split press for these two productions, she was ideally suited for Marguerite. Her rendition was replete with the innocence and naivety of the character as previously epitomized by Victoria de Los Angeles. However, unlike the great Diva, Poplavskaya's Marguerite had the hint of a narcissistic teenager floating just below the surface. The way she played with her sweater and her hair during the ballad of the King of Thule suggested that she knew that men could find her attractive but was trying not to admit this to herself. Additionally, her capable physical acting came into focus in the second half of the opera when she was pregnant with Faust's child.
René Pape who played Mephistopheles is a consummate performer. His work as the lead in last year's production of Boris Godunov was dynamic in every sense of the word. His performance meshed the evil and comic aspects of the character beautifully. He was able to give a thrilling performance of "Le Veau D'Or", while at the same time doing enacting a tap dance routine during his serenade to Marguerite.
Other noteworthy performers include Michele Losier whose Siébel was appropriately naïve. Russell Braun gave a stirring portrayal of Valentin. His first act aria was intensely the prayer it should be. Also, his dying curse on Marguerite was all the more heart wrenching because it was obvious that despite his words, he still loved his sister. As Martha, Wendy White showcased her comic talents to a marvelous degree.
Russel Braun as Valentin and Marina Poplavskaya as Marguerite
This production was directed by Des McAnuff, whose credits include Jersey Boys as well as the movie Rocky and Bullwinkle. He desired to set the opera in the post atomic age. The beginning was to take place shortly after the detonation of the atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The production would then go back to Faust's youth around the time of World War I and then slowly makes its return to the present. McAnuff's goal was to allow Faust to examine where humanity went wrong and why the atomic bomb was dropped over Japan. This was slightly misguided. While appropriate to other settings of the Faust legend, such as the play, Dr. Faustis, by Christopher Marlow, emphasizing the atomic bomb would eschew Faust's relationship with Marguerite which is the focus of the opera. Ironically, this production should be lauded for what it did not achieve. The atomic bomb was present in frequent flashes of light as well as an image of a mushroom cloud which began the Black Sabbath. But these instances were trivial, and the mushroom cloud could have been easily construed as a puff of smoke billowing out of a witch's cauldron. Thankfully, for the sake of the opera, Marguerite remained the focal point. If anything, due to the use of a curtain during intermission which displayed changing images of Marguerite, her position in the opera was intensified. Like other recent operas, such as Rossini's Armida, Faust contains a substantial amount of magic. Mr. McAnuff can congratulate himself for keeping the mystery and the magic alive.
Another significant innovation of this production was its portrayal of Mephistopheles as an extension of Faust's character. This harkens back to the line in the original German play in which Faust in conversation with his student, Wagner, refers to himself as having two personalities. He says "you know one, may you never know the other". Unfortunately, McAnuff's decision to portray the whole opera as Faust's fantasy after he had poisoned himself is problematic. To begin with, Faust is a two part drama. Although the second part is never alluded to within the course of Gounod's opera, based on the inherent villainy of Kaufman's, I would be willing to bet that if given the opportunity to live, to experience more debauchery, he would easily avoid dying. Secondly, the fact that the action of the opera was portrayed as Faust's fantasy as conjured up by Mephistopheles created incongruences in the stage action. True, everything in this opera is an extension of Faust's fantasy as made possible by Mephistopheles, but Faust has to be able to participate in that fantasy. At times he was not able to. Also, the action of the opera took place within Faust's laboratory. While colorful, dreamlike scenery was introduced after the first act, until the end of the fairgrounds scene, the set was sparse and monochromatic. Lastly, the unidimensional nature of the rather bare set did not help the singers to project to the back of the theater. This was at times evident in Kaufman's performance.
This production by McAnuff showed every aspect Faust from the music to the story in its best light. Despite occasional blemishes, the opera which opened the Met in 1893 has a made a triumphant return.

The RegExp object has three properties and three methods. The properties are:
The methods are:
To set up a RegExp object:
A Pattern can be any string value. For example, if the pattern is "Hello World", the RegExp object will match that in the target string. If IgnoreCase is True, it will match any case, so "hellO wORld" would be matched. If Global is set to True, it will contine to search the string for all instances of "Hello World". If False, it will stop searching after the first instance is found.
Dim re, targetString, colMatch, objMatch Set re = New RegExp With re .Pattern = "a" .Global = True .IgnoreCase = True End With targetString = "The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain" Set colMatch = re.Execute(targetString) For each objMatch in colMatch Response.Write objMatch.Value & "
" Next
The above will produce a list of 5 letter a's.
Dim re, targetString Set re = New RegExp With re .Pattern = "a" .Global = False .IgnoreCase = False End With targetString = "The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain" re.Test(targetString)
The above will return True as soon as it hits the first instance of "a"
Metacharacters are special characters that can be combined with literal characters (which is all that have been used so far) to extend the power of Regular Expressions way beyond the simple examples already seen, and are what set Regular Expressions apart from simple string functions.
|Marks the next character as either a special character or a literal. For example, "n" matches the character "n". "\n" matches a newline character. The sequence "\\" matches "\" and "\(" matches "(".
|Matches the beginning of input.
|Matches the end of input.
|Matches the preceding character zero or more times. For example, "zo*" matches either "z" or "zoo".
|Matches the preceding character one or more times. For example, "zo+" matches "zoo" but not "z".
|Matches the preceding character zero or one time. For example, "a?ve?" matches the "ve" in "never".
|Matches any single character except a newline character.
|Matches pattern and remembers the match. The matched substring can be retrieved from the resulting Matches collection, using Item [0]...[n]. To match parentheses characters ( ), use "\(" or "\)".
|Matches either x or y. For example, "z|wood" matches "z" or "wood". "(z|w)oo" matches "zoo" or "wood".
|n is a nonnegative integer. Matches exactly n times. For example, "o{2}" does not match the "o" in "Bob," but matches the first two o's in "foooood".
|n is a nonnegative integer. Matches at least n times. For example, "o{2,}" does not match the "o" in "Bob" and matches all the o's in "foooood." "o{1,}" is equivalent to "o+". "o{0,}" is equivalent to "o*".
|m and n are nonnegative integers. Matches at least n and at most m times. For example, "o{1,3}" matches the first three o's in "fooooood." "o{0,1}" is equivalent to "o?".
|A character set. Matches any one of the enclosed characters. For example, "[abc]" matches the "a" in "plain".
|A negative character set. Matches any character not enclosed. For example, "[^abc]" matches the "p" in "plain".
|A range of characters. Matches any character in the specified range. For example, "[a-z]" matches any lowercase alphabetic character in the range "a" through "z".
|A negative range characters. Matches any character not in the specified range. For example, "[m-z]" matches any character not in the range "m" through "z".
|Matches a word boundary, that is, the position between a word and a space. For example, "er\b" matches the "er" in "never" but not the "er" in "verb".
|Matches a non-word boundary. "ea*r\B" matches the "ear" in "never early".
|Matches a digit character. Equivalent to [0-9].
|Matches a non-digit character. Equivalent to [^0-9].
|Matches a form-feed character.
|Matches a newline character.
|Matches a carriage return character.
|Matches any white space including space, tab, form-feed, etc. Equivalent to "[ \f\n\r\t\v]".
|Matches any nonwhite space character. Equivalent to "[^ \f\n\r\t\v]".
|Matches a tab character.
|Matches a vertical tab character.
|Matches any word character including underscore. Equivalent to "[A-Za-z0-9_]".
|Matches any non-word character. Equivalent to "[^A-Za-z0-9_]".
|Matches num, where num is a positive integer. A reference back to remembered matches. For example, "(.)\1" matches two consecutive identical characters.
|Matches n, where n is an octal escape value. Octal escape values must be 1, 2, or 3 digits long. For example, "\11" and "\011" both match a tab character. "\0011" is the equivalent of "\001" & "1". Octal escape values must not exceed 256. If they do, only the first two digits comprise the expression. Allows ASCII codes to be used in regular expressions.
|Matches n, where n is a hexadecimal escape value. Hexadecimal escape values must be exactly two digits long. For example, "\x41" matches "A". "\x041" is equivalent to "\x04" & "1". Allows ASCII codes to be used in regular expressions.
\d+ will match any digit one or more times, and
is the equivalent to [0-9]+
<[^>]*> will match any html tag, and looks for an opening "<", followed by anything that isn't a closing block ">", followed finally by a closing block ">". It uses a "negative character set" [^>]
Form input validation is a key area in which regular expressions can be used, and a common task is to validate the structure of an email address. Initially, the task needs to be broken down into its constituent rules:
"[\w\-\'\.]+@{1}[\w\.?\-?]{3,}\.[\a-z]+" will do it, but can be improved upon depending on how specific you want to be.
There will be instances where, once a match is found, you want to extract parts of that match for later use. As an example, suppose you have an html page which contains a list of links:
Company A
 Company B
 Company C
 Company D
 Company E
 ...
The required parts are the Company name and the id in the querystring. These need to be collected and inserted into a database, for example. The html is fed in as the strSearchOn, and the pattern uses parenthesis to search for each item - The id ([0-9]{5}), which is a 5 digit number, and ([\w\s]+) which collects a series of letters and spaces, and will stop collecting them when the opening angle bracket is reached ().
Set objRegExpr = New regexp objRegExpr.Pattern = "somepage.asp\?id=([0-9]{5})" & chr(34) & ">([\w\s]+)" objRegExpr.Global = True objRegExpr.IgnoreCase = True set colmatches = objRegExpr.Execute(strSearchOn) For Each objMatch in colMatches id = objMatch.SubMatches(0) company = objMatch.SubMatches(1) sql = "Insert Into table (idfield, company) Values (" & id & ",'" & company & "')" conn.execute(sql) Next

Been meaning to share some things.... Ready for some pretty awesome eye candy?
Talk about a whirlwind! I'm still waiting for things to slow down just enough so I can finish something I start, or intend on starting. I've got so many projects in the works, and have been wanting to share some special gifts from sweet friends. I will start from order of receipt. My Yellow Rose of Texas,
Annette Graves
made this for us right after my son's wedding in May. I couldn't hang it for the longest time because I couldn't stop inspecting it, going over all the textured items. It is even more gorgeous in person. I love it, Thank you again
Next was a Sweet Needle book from my lil sis Shannon, owner and creative goddess of
Sweet Inspirations.
It is precious, just like her. The vintage lace, the porcelain roses, the soft colors, and special embellishments make it a treasure I'm sure to enjoy till the end of my days and hand it down to my DIL Megan. Thank you Lil sis.
Recently my bud Leslie Kenreich from St. Joe, Michigan surprised me while we were attending an antique show, with this unbelievable wall hanging. Each embellished patch represents a time or meaning in my life.
For instance, the wheelbarrow , birdhouse, and flowers for my gardening side. Hotel and luggage for my travels. The sail boats represent lake Michigan and St; Joe, which holds so very much meaning to me, including the fact my sweet Les resides there. The cupcake with candles because this was a birthday gift, the puzzle charm at bottom for my Pieces of Friendship puzzle group, etc.
When I tore the wrapping off standing by my car you can imagine how touching it was to see all of this heartfelt assemblage meant just for me. Yes, I tried to contain myself but a little bit of love spilled from my eyes. I still can't get over the time Les put into this, her first piece. The sewn writing blew me away. so tedious. Amazing. It hangs by my comfy chair to encourage me that I need to keep creating and like the saying on it reads, "The road to my house is not always straight, but it's paved with fabulous friends and wonderful places. Thank you Les, this is quite a piece of art from the heart.
I must have been pretty awesome in my past life to have friends like I have gathered. LOL.
Thank you all for putting up with me. If I didn't share special things from you, its because I don't want to show off anymore than I have today :-) You know how special you are.
I hope you all have a great day!

Been a while...pics of trip to Nappanee and bike ride to St. Joe
So...Autumn has arrived, it is beautiful. This is mom's road, the golden tunnel.
Temps are mild but soon to change. I had the opportunity to take mom to a B&B a week ago.We headed East to Nappanee, the heart of Indiana's Amish country. Along the way we saw a beautiful color show.
At the quilt show I attended recently with my bud Leslie, I picked up a flyer and met the lady who owned a B&B in Nappanee. The lovely Victorian Pink Lady on the flyer caught my eye. I've always loved the ones in California. So she informed me although it was a Quilter's retreat, she also offered rooms to other guests. I knew immediately that I would be visiting soon. I showed mom the website and she fell in love. So, a couple days later we were off on another adventure.
The Victorian Guest House was greeting us with open arms on a mild sunny Autumn day.
I took a pic of mom while she was standing, by the post waiting for me to get our bags......
but then she came all the way back down the steps and insisted on taking one of me as well. Mother!
The foyer was a beautiful sight. Very welcoming. We were led upstairs to our room, The Coppes Suite, and it was perfect. The stairwell was beautiful, I could have set up camp right on the second landing,LOL.
The bathroom, well, you know I love my bubble baths....65 gallon 100 yr old tub...need I say more?
We took a little tour of the B&B. I gasped when I saw this beauty. The owner's grandmother had it stuffed in a bag in her closet. Can you imagine what they thought when they found this? Whoa! Although it is a traditional pieced fan quilt, which I love, the seams were crazy stitched. Close ups in the upcoming issue of Crazy Quilt Gatherings.
Ok, here is one peek..
We dropped off our things and went to meander around the town. Mom seemed to be getting hungry...
so we decided it was time to find some Amish fare. But first, we stopped at Veni's, the sweet shop on the next block from the B&B. Shameful!
The young lady was charming.
We browsed antique shops, specialty shops, a fabric shop.
Even a grocery store. The most orderly one I've ever seen.
We enjoyed seeing the horses sprinkled about the town. Several bikes too.
Mom and I were both tired from the richness this little town offered and was ready for bed earlier than expected. Naturally, with mom there is never a dull moment. Laughing is just an ongoing activity for us, hence my deep laugh lines I've owned since a teen. The bed was a bit high for her so I helped her up then grabbed my phone for a pic as she was perched tettering on the edge of the bed laughing so hard she almost fell off.
So we headed to Shishewana the next morning. Mom wants to return next year...I'm thinking 2015 CQ Retreat??????? If I can find 10 more ladies???? Tootles for now.
I haven't been there since I my mother in law took me to Lolly's. It was a bittersweet visit as I remembered our time together ooh-ing and aah-ing over fabrics. The town was pretty quiet because everyone was at the flea market but I knew mom couldn't walk that much so I didn't mention it. I'll have to grab a girlfriend or two for that.
We stopped at Yoder Department store of course. It was a tradition,lol.
Then we found another antique shop.
Even more horse drawn carts naturally.
Last stop of the day was Essenhaus for lunch. It was a memorable overnighter! Thanks mom.
It was gorgeous Saturday, 80's and sunshine and DH wanted to take a bike ride. I thought I would be hot so I only wore a sweatshirt, no layering. Well, it started off alright but when we got to St. Joe, riding along the lake, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Silver Beach
I was shivering. DH got his leather jacket from the back but I knew he gets colder than I do so I told him to wear it. I kind of regretted that decision after a few seconds later,LOL.
I thawed my fingers under my behind and thought if I kept busy taking pictures of the colorful show nature provided, I would forget about the chill. It worked for a while. The leaves were a confetti explosion of Autumnal colors.
Speaking of St. Joe, I better get going. I'm heading up to play with my pal Leslie k today for a couple hours. I missed the sunrise this morning, but this was from two days ago. So pretty!
More to share later. Have a glorious day!

Relaxing weekend and a few wedding pics
It has been a beautiful weekend. The kids spent the night and we just caught up on events and watched a movie. This morning I grabbed a blanket and a book and headed to the porch swing to read a few lines and feel the sunshine on my face. The kids were still sleeping so I did a bit of seed gathering and weeding in the garden.
I was delighted to hear the wedding photos had
been delivered. Here are a few of my favorites. I don't want to load too many because they haven't gone through them yet.
Parents waiting patiently for the bride to be.
Happy Groom seeing his bride walking down the aisle.
Skipping ahead to the newly married happy fella, my handsome son, Edward.
My bud Karen R is to the left (LOL) I think that is my pal Leslie K behind Ed, not sure???
Their life together as husband and wife has just begun. Oh the wonderful things before them.
Groom and Mother dance.
I will share more after I have permission to do so,LOL. I just couldn't help myself. Ok, one more...
The kids just left to visit Megan's parents so I'm going to soak in a bubble bath and curl up with my book for a bit until I nod off. I've been fighting off a headache all day and maybe hot tea is needed also. I hope tomorrow is another beautiful weather day. Have a wonderful evening.

I liked it at first because it does not smudge and is very easy to use. However after about 4,5 uses the consistency became very thin and the colour started to fade. It was very vivid black at first but after a while it was like black in water colour. I had to throw it away. Useless... I have never thrown make up away like this.
Just saw a review from someone else regarding this product, apparently you just have to shake it before each use to avoid the thin texture that I mentioned.

I brought this product because I was out of my normal liquid eyeliner, I have dry skin so I didn't experience the 'watery' problem like the below reviews. I like this product, but not something i would rave about ; or buy again.
The felt tip is it's best feature, makes application a breeze.! It would be great for people just learning to apply liquid liners. I will continue using this liner, as it isn't too bad but once i buy my old one again i'll probably just the wand of this to dip into another liner.

I was pretty disappointed with this liner, though it wouldn't have any flaws cause it looks promising but looks are deceiving. The color is a true dark black and is very shiny but the problem i had with it was its pretty watery and its kinda sheer i had to apply many layers to get the right consistency of the line and then wait a bit for that to dry then I'd try to apply another layer only to smear off the original layer i applied. Also the liner cracks when its dry and rubs off easily.

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool Hair: Brown, Straight, Medium Eyes: Brown
I love the felt tip applicator! However the formula for this product is just too watery for my liking.
- Flexible felt tip for easy application
- Weak staying power (flakes and rubs off the moment it dries)
- Formula is too watery (it slides around a lot during application)
- Transfers across my eyelid after prolonged wear (I guess it's because my eyelids are oily and I don't use a primer at the moment)
Overall I don't recommend this product if you've got oily eyelids like mine UNLESS you're using a primer. There are much nicer liners out there, it's all just trial and error really. I won't be buying this again.

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Combination, Fair Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine Eyes: Brown
LOVED IT. (by the way my first liquid eyeliner)
its dramatic, creates a thin line, and the applicator is made of velvet so its the perfect amount of flexability and sturdyness...
Good for beginners in the liquid eyeliner department
it goes well with long lashes because its thin so what you see isnt only the eyeliner. you can still see your lashes!
but it DOES NOT smudge, even if you want it to. it just erases
while its wet, fix your mistakes, and make sure its super close to your eyelashes or it looks weird.
i've recomended this before (even to my sister) and thats saying alot

I have been using liquid liners for years, and I like to think I'm a little bit of an expert on them.
This liner, while having excellent staying power, is underwhelming. The 'brush point' is far too long and flexible, which makes it hard to create an even line. Frankly, it wobbles around hopelessly.
I bought this because it was on sale, but will not purchase this product again.

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Sensitive, Tan Hair: Brunette Eyes: Blue
this is definatly my HG liquid eyeliner. as you can tell by the name "Stileto" it goes with the Stileto mascara. this eyeliner has a extreme black colour, and the applicator isnt a brush, a stick, a marker or whatever, but it's a FELT tip, making it extremely easy to apply a straight line, whatever thickness. The tip is flexible, but not too fliimsy, and i'm also a sucker for nice packaging, so this caught my eye right away, due to the sleek black tube. Available in any drugstore, definatly one of Maybellines best products, and super cheap for such good quality ! GO BUY :)

Age: 30-35 Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium Hair: Brunette Eyes: Brown
This is the pits. When I apply it, it goes on really light, and is hard to get an even application. Probably due to some bad manufacturing, bc other reviewers said it went on dark but I can barely get it on. Since the very long bendy tip made it so hard to get a nice thick dark line, I snipped off a bit of the edge, but that didnt help at all. I cant even really get much onto the applicator unless I keep putting it in the bottle and shaking, and its new. For about half the price, I love palladio (i think that is what the name is) and prestige, both used to be found at Walgreens, but I am going to go to Ulta to see if they have either. Those are really nice HG lines. This sucks.

Age: 19-24 Skin: Sensitive, Fair Hair: Red, Wavy, Fine Eyes: Green
Although there are some good points to this liner, it is one that, overall, I do not like.
I think that the formula in itself is long-lasting and dries nicely, but it takes a good few coats to get a dark, even consistency. It tends to apply rather liquidy and you can get an uneven texture along your line (particularly if it is a more medium-thick one) unless you reapply it.
The tip is a long, tapered and extremely flexible sponge which I really don't like. It tends to fling around and create a jagged, uneven line. I can't see this being any good for liquid eyeliner beginners as I have been using them every day for years and I still have a little difficulty taming this sponge tip!
The packaging is really cute. I love the colours and it I love that it is a compact shape and size. However, I wish that the liner itself could be as impressive.
I'll keep using this product until its all gone, but I will not repurchase it.

Valerie Cherish is forever seeking the most flattering light — from the cameras of the hapless reality-TV crew that surround her, from the two-faced Hollywood cronies who mock her, from life itself — and the tragic comedy of HBO's The Comeback, making its own most-welcome comeback (Sunday, 10/9c) after nearly a decade off the air, is that she so rarely finds it...

Futurama lives! For one night at least. The long-running sci-fi cartoon spoof, which signed off last year, is making a time-traveling comeback on The Simpsons (Sunday, Nov. 9 at 8/7c on Fox). Despite the fact the shows are set 1,000 years apart, the crossover makes sense, given that both series were created by Matt Groening and share a similar animation style. "At the table read, I said, "Let's celebrate this joyous reunion between Matt Groening's left and right brains,'" says Simpsons executive producer Al Jean. "And I really think that's what it is."

Some milestones can't help but make a longtime TV viewer feel a bit long in the tooth. Such is the case this Sunday, as Fox's The Simpsons marks a full quarter-century of spooky satire with its 25th annual "Treehouse of Horror" Halloween trilogy (8/7c), which strikes a nostalgic chord from its opening fanfare, echoing the classic (and still-missed) theme from Johnny Carson's Tonight Show — with a macabre twist, naturally.

Caro is losing at her best major to Giorgi & Begu. That means the tour's better or that those 2 figured Caro out?
How about the reality: Caroline is not nearly as good as she used to be
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter....

This isn't intended to be scientific, but I'd like to see what a lot of us thin are the biggest wastes of pieces/ best opportunities for new and exciting ideas there are out there. If we were changing pieces which 3 would be on your priority, and what are some ideas? Some may not be necessary after MotF, but i' m just looking at some what needs to be fixed/boosted right now in my opinion.
1. Nute Gunray: Affinity for Maul and Sidious (and maybe some other commander effect, even if it's only Followers get +1 attack). Swap is some of the sneakiest stuff, and Sidious (it could be argued) was at his sneakiest when manipulating Nute. Would also give seps a force battery, which along with a swap they lack.
2. Nien Nunb: Why not?
3. Rebel Commando: The fact that it was printed twice means this one in my book needs some incentive to use
There's a lot that can be re-statted. However, I think that needs to be restricted to Unique miniatures. If you want to recost the C/UCs, that's fine. I, though, think the Uniques are the most important aspect of the SW Universe. Some of the miniature tragedies we know (Dr Evazan, Nien, Carth, Revan, Plo Koon, a few Lukes, Darth Nihilus, C-3PO Ewok Deity) deserve a facelift.

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CloudStack Collaboration Conference -- Cloudian today announced that it has extended its industry-leading Cloudian Cloud Storage Platform for easy integration with Apache CloudStack. The Cloudian solution enables cloud service providers and enterprises to seamlessly deploy S3-compatible cloud storage quickly and cost-effectively along with a state-of-the-art cloud computing platform under a common user interface and single provisioning and sign on.

"We are pleased to have the Cloudian Cloud Storage Platform support the Apache CloudStack cloud computing platform, giving users powerful storage via a simple, elegant deployment."
The integration of Cloudian with Apache CloudStack unifies the S3 compatible cloud object storage service along with the file system requirements of the CloudStack cloud compute environment.

Additionally, CloudStack templates and snapshots are centrally managed through the Cloudian service and available across datacenters or CloudStack zones via Cloudian's multi-datacenter storage capabilities. The interface between Cloudian and CloudStack can also enable powerful application data backup and recovery within any cloud environment.
"We have been working to create a tightly integrated system with Apache CloudStack that combines the critical cloud storage platform components with the market-leading, open source cloud orchestration and management platform," said Giorgio Propersi, Cloudian General Manager, Americas and EMEA. "We look forward to working more with the Apache CloudStack community to help further advance the development and adoption of cloud computing."

Dad's Rank Their Least Favorite Father's Day Gifts
Father's Day is Sunday, so you still have time to buy a new present if you botched it. You might have to physically walk into a store, but at least there's still time.
Father's Day is Sunday, so you still have time to buy a new present if you botched it. You might have to physically walk into a store, but at least there's still time.
Yesterday was Memorial Day, a day to honor the memory of those who lost their lives while serving our country and show unified support for those currently serving, but for a group of active duty persons, the day before Memorial Day was an extra special day.
Memorial Day is the second most popular holiday on which to grill, so chances are really good that's what you're going to be doing this weekend. But, before you fire up the grill, there are some things you need to know:
Planning to travel this Memorial Day weekend? Join the crowd. Literally.
To me, Memorial Day is more than just an excuse to throw a picnic or to take a weekend trip. To me, Memorial Day is also a day to honor those who gave their lives for my freedom and those who continue to serve.
If you're like a huge chunk of Americans planning to travel this coming holiday weekend there are 10 things you can do before you hit the road that will help you stretch a tank of gas and every little bit of stretching helps, doesn't it?
It's been 6 Mothers Days since I was able to hand my Mom a card, to call her or to say I love you in person. Whenever I see the Mother's Day sales, pass the card displays or even a hanging basket of flowers, I think of my Mom and miss her even more.
Mother's Day is this Sunday. Or as I like to call it "Masquaw" Day. I've called my mom Masquaw forever. I've been asked why...You'll have to read on to find out. Here are thing's that I've learned from Masquaw:
Sunday is Mother's Day,and if you're dating a single mom, knowing how to handle this holiday can be a little tricky. We know you don't want to look like a fool and we don't want you to look like one either, so here are a couple DOs and DON'ts to keep in the back of your mind.
If you've forgotten, Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 10th which means if you haven't planned what you're gonna get Mom or the woman you love as a Mom, you better get going!

Nancy C. Dorian is an American linguist[2] who has carried out research into the death of the East Sutherland dialect of Scottish Gaelic for over 40 years, particularly in the villages of Brora, Golspie and Embo. Noting that arguments were made about what happens when a language begins to die out, she decided to study a declining language until it had no remaining speakers and examine the evolution of its grammar, phonology, and other linguistic features. The language in question, East Sutherland Gaelic, is an isolated dialect, with substantial differences from other dialects of Scots Gaelic, preserved in three small communities of Scottish fisherfolk. In the early years of the study there were 200+ speakers, including one parrot. As of 2014 there are three living speakers, as well as Dorian herself.
She also studied young people who could speak Gaelic but didn't speak it often ('semi-speakers') and noted their ability to quickly return to fluency with effort.
Nancy Dorian received her Ph.D from the University of Michigan and is a former professor in linguistics and anthropology at Bryn Mawr College. Working for the Linguistic Survey of Scotland in 1963, there was little expectation at the time of finding Gaelic locally spoken but Dorian found over 200 Gaelic speakers. Her study into the decline of Gaelic in East Sutherland is considered an important and detailed study of language death.
She was the subject of a documentary that aired on the BBC: "Mar a Chunnaic Mise: Nancy Dorian agus a' Ghàidhlig," in Scots Gaelic with English subtitles.
She observed the discomfort and hostility shown by some of these speakers, 'Who wanted nothing more than to be inconspicuous'.
- "The Gaelic-speaking East Sutherland fisherfolk have in one sense already been proven 'wrong', in that some of the youngest members of their own kin circles have begun to berate them for choosing not to transmit the ancestral language and so allowing it to die." (Language Death, David Crystal, p106)
