Council Supporters Say They'll Survive Bloomberg, NYPD Challenges to Police Bills
The passage of a pair of police oversight bills by the city council late last night - one to create an inspector general to oversee the police and the other to make it easier to sue the police over bias allegations - starts the clock ticking for Mayor Bloomberg, who has 30 days to make good on his promise to veto the legislation.
The bill's supporters then have 30 days to secure the two-thirds majority needed to override Bloomberg's veto.
The mayor's office and NYPD aren't saying what steps they'll take should the council vote to override. But supporters in the council say they're anticipating a legal challenge from the mayor, the police or both.

I periodically clean my glass carriers with isopropyl alcohol - once or twice a year they get a bit hazy.
Other than that I use compressed air to blow out dust. I try to avoid removing the carriers from the enlarger to minimize further dust entry.
The most important dust control factor in my darkroom is a large, freestanding HEPA filter. It's designed for a room three times the size of my darkroom, which doubles as a spare bathroom/laundry room (so you can imagine the dust on laundry days).
Last winter I had horrible dust problems. It got so bad I gave up on trying to print for two or three months. The HEPA filter cleared up the problem.
I also wear a bandana on my noggin while in the darkroom. I have long hair which tends to shed a bit due to a bad thyroid condition. I also have a beard and probably should wear a face mask but so far I haven't seen any need to go to such extremes.
As Ann suggested, dust off the paper before making the exposure. I keep an Asian hake brush in the darkroom for that purpose, tho' sometimes I'll just use the edge of my palm or a squirt of compressed air.
To minimize problems on my negatives I use filtered or even distilled water whenever feasible. Our water comes from a rural well tapped into a limestone basin - I'd get actual chunks of lime scale if I didn't filter the water. There's also a brine type water softener in the well house.

Heading into the Seattle Seahawks final preseason game tonight against the Oakland Raiders, some believe receiver Golden Tate could be on the bubble when the team cuts down to 53 players by Saturday, which my story addresses today.
Although Tate has struggled, including two costly drops – one that turned into an interception return for a touchdown against Minnesota – I do not believe Pete Carroll is ready to give up on the second-round draft choice.
"Our expectations are still high," Carroll said. "We haven't lost that at all. He continues to do good things. He's going to get a lot of play time in this game. This is an important game for him, he'll get a lot of air time here.
"He's just a good competitor, a tough guy who makes good catches and can run with the ball. We just need to keep getting it together."
Carroll also has some financial obligations to consider. Tate agreed to a four-year, $3.261 million deal last year as a rookie, which included a $1 million signing bonus and a total of $1.471 million in guaranteed money, so the team will likely want some sort of return on its investment.

I like most the bit where he completely ignored one of the most important changes to scavenge. A bunch of players had asked why Scavenge didn't have a number to go with it. Here we see a playtest card of almost-finished scavenge that does indeed have a number, yet it is absent (without comment) from the final version.I'm guessing it was because they felt they didn't need the extra layer, but I'm curious if there was a more specific reason for the omission.
Rules Advisor
The Basic rulebook, read it! A lot of basic questions are answered there!
How to autocard :
Type [c]Black Lotus[/c] to get Black Lotus.
Type [c=Black Lotus]The Overpowered One[/c] to get The Overpowered One.
The number + mana cost template you see in the playtest cards is pretty ugly, and I don't think Wizards has used it before.
Creator of the Multiverse database for custom sets, the Magic Turing machine (proving Magic Turing-complete) and the random Magic card generator.
typical just add +1 to P/T for same cost for no apparent reason
Mythic Bloat.
FWIW, Reinforce isn't the only 2-parameter mechanic: Suspend was as well. But then that was pretty fiddly. New Niv-Mizzet is interesting. Can't hit creatures at all, but can more easily draw you multiple cards a turn. But, crucially, it's less comboriffic, which makes me think it's a bit of a failure as an Izzet card. It's very interesting to see the evolution of digestible/scavenge. I'm curious as to whether they end up being a bit eggs-in-one-basket, like devour, especially since a bounce spell with Overload seems pretty much a given. (Now that's an interesting question. People think Vapor Snag is strictly better than Unsummon, but it's not, because there are times you want to bounce your own creature. So does the overload bounce spell say "target creature you don't control", or not?)
The combo you want now is Mycosynth Lattice + Cadaverous Bloom. No wonder his most recent duel deck was against the Golgari: he clearly just wants to steal their stuff. And take back Mirrodin from the Phyrexians somehow.

It's disappointing to see the Sorcery speed stamp on the Scavenge mechanic. It is already win more by asking to have a creature in play and now it begs for a removal spell to fizzle. Considering that Reinforce itself wasn't a big hit, I wonder why they decided to bring it back on a nerfed form.

That's a shame considering that New Phyrexia was awesome but since the shocklands are back I won't complain too much.
I think Niv 2.0 is great precisely because they didn't venture too far from what made the first one so appealing.He's better at controlling the board than 1.0, too.

. . . Can't wait to pull the Niv-Niv combo off in EDH.Doesn't work. New Niv only triggers on damage from himself
I think Overload has a bit more design space left than they give it credit for, once you branch out into other colors' spell effects and experiment with different/no targeting restrictions. Probably not enough to fill up a block, but maybe it could come back in another set.
Actually, I like this version and now want to see what a Golgari refrigerator looks like.
(There's at least one scavenge creature with a power that changes while it's in your graveyard, but Sluiceway Scorpion's power is always 2 when it's in your graveyard.)
From Mark Rosewater's Tumblr: the0uroboros asked: How in the same set can we have a hexproof, unsacrificable(not a word) creature AND a land that makes it uncounterable. How does this lead to interactive play? I believe I'm able to play my creature and you have to deal with it is much more interactive than you counter my creature.
Post #777
MaRo: One of the classic R&D stories happened during a Scars of Mirrodin draft. Erik Lauer was sitting to my right (meaning that he passed to me in the first and third packs). At the end of the draft, Erik was upset because I was in his colors (black-green). He said, "Didn't you see the signals? I went into black-green in pack one." I replied, "Didn't you see my signals? I started drafting infect six drafts ago."
MaRo: I redesigned him while the effect was on the stack.
As far as I see it, all mechanics have a downside, except Detain:Overload cost much more than the original, unleashed creatures can't block, in order to scavenge, you have to get the creature in the graveyard first, and Populate just seems weak, being almost no relevant tokens out there.But Detain, it just SEEMS like it has no downside. You stop a nonland permanent from doing anything, and there's no but.If there is one, can anyone tell me it's flaw?
2. New World Order. Scavenge at instant-speed is deemed to complicated =(
tnessfftto asked: On the forums, someone still thinks this: "New World Order. Scavenge at instant-speed is deemed to complicated =(" Can you reaffirm once and for all that putting things at sorcery speed is done to improve gameplay and force players to make choices on how they spend their mana (and not wait until their opponent's end step to commit), and NOT primarily to reduce complexity?Making scavenge work at "sorcery speed" (yeah, not really a thing but you all know what we mean) is about good game play and not New World Order. Making players have to make choices rather than being able to wait until the choice gets made for them leads to better game play.

How many cards can they make with that? Not many.
"Nothing in my view is more reprehensible than those habits of mind in the intellectual that induce avoidance, that characteristic turning away from a difficult and principled position, which you know to be the right one, but which you decide not to take. You do not want to appear too political; you are afraid of seeming controversial; you want to keep a reputation for being balanced, objective, moderate; your hope is to be asked back, to consult, to be on a board or prestigious committee, and so to remain within the responsible mainstream...." -Edward Said
Re Overload: Insert usual comment about how while I respect that double-edged mechanics are less popular at first glance, they are ultimately interesting, so I wish R&D would merely reduce their presence rather than eliminate them entirely. Overloads that affected your stuff too are *interesting*. Bonfire of the Damned is not interesting: do you want to destroy your opponent's board yes/no. Hypothetical Mizzium Mortars that said "target creature" is less Timmy riffic, sure, but leads to interesting gameplay situations. Can I stick more 5+ toughness creatures in my deck? Is it worth clearing out 3 enemy critters while losing 1 of my own + Hypothetical Mortars that targeted anything? I'm not saying that the "target you do control / don't" isn't clever, and certainly it's fine for SOME effects (especially flying / first strike type dealies), but you can have at least a few spells that might go out of control and backfire. Which seems rather Izzet.
Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do.
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights. But you yourself are nothing so divine. Just next in line.

Die Broke
God punishes one generation when it accepts the undiminished wealth of the previous generation. The way to escape perpetuating generational richity is to die broke. But what about college for my kids, or when I'm sick, old, or retired? This book has answers for you and very specific tactics for the liberation of all from the myth of inheritance.
You are not a corporation – you are a human being. Your money shouldn't outlive you. You should exit life as you came into it: penniless. Your assets are resources to be used, for your own benefit and for the benefit of those you love. Every dollar that's left in your bank account after you die is a dollar you wasted. Use your resources to help people now when you know they need it, when it will do the most good, rather than hoping they'll be helped when you're dead. The last check you write should be to your undertaker — and it should bounce.
Inheritance is a terribly inefficient way to pass wealth to others.
You need to shift to a more flexible view of work and career, one that abandons the ultimatum of retirement – a false choice between full-time and no time. Similarly you need to shift to a less rigid approach to earned income. No longer can you look at your earned income as continually increasing up until age sixty-five, at which pint it will stop entirely. From now on you need to approach earned income as you do unearned income. It may grow, it may be stagnant, or it may decrease, all depending on market conditions and your own choices.
The best metaphor I can think of for today's pursuit of retirement is of a mass of lemmings busily struggling up a steep cliff and then jumping off the cliff into the abyss.
Dying broke means living well.

Hudson, Florida - The man who pulled a woman from her burning home said he was not surprised that the Pasco County Sheriff's Office ruled her death, and her roommate's death, a homicide.
"I looked at her face it looked like she had damage to her face. It looked like she maybe was abused or beaten," said a neighbor who only wants to be identified as "Joshua." "She had blood marks on her face."
Neighbors Jessica Keith and Amber Lynn Jordan moved into the home a few years ago.
Joshua was awoken on Monday morning by the fire just a few dozen yards away from his home.When he rushed over to help, he saw one of the women in the doorway.
"When I was pulling on her body, [it] was so hot it melted to me," he said.
What first looked like a fire that claimed two lives, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office now reveals was a homicide.
"The intent to destroy all evidence in this case was not effective. We are recovering pieces of evidence," said Captain Mel Eakley with the Pasco County Sheriff's Office.
While the sheriff's office said it has some very good leads, it is asking for the public's help to locate what they describe as a "dark colored" vehicle fleeing from the home sometime around 7 a.m. Monday.
Keith has been in the news on several occasions over the past few years. The 24 year-old was arrested in 2011 for smuggling drugs in her private areas into the Land O' Lakes jail. She may also be connected to a case involving a man named James Barron, who is accused of killing her then-boyfriend of the same year.
Barron, along with his mother, was charged in a murder-for-hire plot to kill a witness in his trial.
Anyone with information in the murder of Keith or Jordan is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-TIPS.

"Montpelier has a superb team. It is the strongest in our league and the girls are very experienced and powerful players."
That is what coach Marie George had to say after North Country's 6-1 loss to the Solons on Wednesday.
In singles action, Rhiannon Rosamilia (#1)Â lost to Carly Watson 6-0, 6-0. Kelsey O'Donnell(#2)Â lost to Annie Jones 6-1, 6-1.

Annie Arcoleo (#5) lost 6-2, 6-0 to Mary Cain.Â
On the doubles court, Sonya Hinton/Moriah Lafoe won 6-2, 6-4 against Ali Fuber/Samantha Riges.Â
The first doubles team of Brianna Grimm and Danielle Therrien lost 6-0, 6-0.
"This was the most difficult match that the team has had this year," said George
They now stand at 1-3 and will travel to Middlebury on Saturday.
The girls are looking forward to some good play and a win to add to their record

I have a new OTTB (6 yrs old). He has been at my stables since Saturday. I bought him underweight, his previous owner was not feeding him enough. Yesterday I turned him out (across the street from the barn, barely in sight of the barn) before dinner time, and the whole time he stared, paced and looked for the feed truck as they drove around. Would not pay attention to me, would not listen to any commands..... what do you think? He was almost unmanageable.
He is almost 17HH and huge, so if it is a behavior problem I have got to nip it in the bud so he isnt dangerous or anything.
He's been off track for 2 years and was trained hunter/jumper during that time.

BOSTON – The Bruins will play the second half of a back-to-back set of games tonight at TD Garden.
But weariness shouldn't be an issue against Calgary because coach Claude Julien was able to spread out his team's ice time in a 6-1 victory at New Jersey on Wednesday night.
No Bruins forward played more than the 17:20 logged by Rich Peverley, and Dennis Seidenberg led the defense corps in ice time with just 22:33.
"I think that was one of the things I tried to do in the third period when we scored that fourth goal and seemed to have control of the game, I really tried to spread out the ice time and keep us as fresh as possible for tonight," said Julien, who gave his players this morning off. "That's the reality of things. You've got a team waiting for you at home and you've got to play a back-to-back game. We've done it before. It's throughout the whole league, every team plays back-to-back games. And you've just got to look at the situation and make the best of it. And we're fortunate that we had a good enough cushion last night that we were able to do it."
After Tim Thomas made 30 saves against the Devils, expect Tuukka Rask to get the start against Calgary.
Here is the projected lineup for tonight:
Milan Lucic - David Krejci - Nathan Horton
Brad Marchand - Patrice Bergeron - Tyler Seguin
Benoit Pouliot - Chris Kelly - Rich Peverley
Daniel Paille - Gregory Campbell - Shawn Thornton
Zdeno Chara - Johnny Boychuk
Dennis Seidenberg - Joe Corvo
Andrew Ference - Adam McQuaid

Diana Wynne Jones, Wild Robert (Greenwillow, 2003)
How many of us dreamed as children of living in a real castle? Young Heather would love it -- if it weren't for all the tourists. Her life in the stately home of Castlemaine, where her parents are curators, is spoiled by their daily invasions. When she stands on an ancient burial mound and calls on the legendary Wild Robert to teach them some manners, though, the results are wilder than she had anticipated. Before Robert is put to rest again, Heather's view of Castlemaine has been thoroughly transformed.
The writing of Diana Wynne Jones normally seems to me without age limits. I've recommended the same title to eight-year-olds and fifty-eight-year-olds with complete confidence in their enjoyment. But with Wild Robert, Jones is clearly writing for a younger audience. Children who struggle a bit with reading on their own, and are not yet ready for Jones' more complex and subtle works, will be able to manage this relatively straightforward narrative.
The scenes in which Wild Robert takes revenge on the tourists invading "his" castle have a spark of Jones' wicked humor, and Robert himself is one of her likeable rogues. There's the seed of a good story here, and the simple style is not so forced as to spoil an older reader's pleasure. I was disappointed by the conclusion, though, which is abrupt and anticlimactic. It feels like Jones started a full-length novel and lost interest in it -- or was cut short by a publisher's length requirements? Whatever the reason, it's a letdown for those of us who can usually depend on Jones for a rousing climax to her tales.
This slender volume is the first publication in the U.S. of a story originally published in Great Britain in 1989. The cover illustration by Mark Zug is quite striking, and some of his internal pencil drawings are amusing. Others were distractingly prosaic, though -- was it necessary to capture Wild Robert eating a sandwich? One warning, if you're thinking of adding this book to your collection: though in this edition it is packaged (and priced) as a hardcover, I found after one reading that the binding was beginning to crack and split. Further investigation revealed that it is not a true, sewn hardcover binding at all, but a cheap glued paperback binding between the hard boards. I find this to be a deplorably deceptive cost-cutting measure--a high-quality paperback would have been preferable.

Twang King single-coil pickups
When DiMarzio decided to go for the vintage Tele sound, they knew they had to do more than just copy a forty-year-old design. They wanted pickups that captured the best elements of their favorite Broadcaster and Telecaster sounds, and then some. The Twang King pickups have unequaled response to pick attack: light playing produces a soft, quiet tone and hard picking creates a harder, louder, and more dynamic sound than any comparable single-coil. This was accomplished with a combination of controlled-tension coil-winding, special wire, and hand-calibrated magnets. Wax-potted twice for squeal-free performance, Twang King pickups produce big, clean lows and highs, yet are able to handle a very wide dynamic range, so the sound would clean up with soft picking and really open up with a harder attack.

"Now get IN there?" Lose the excuses, people!
3 Responses
Absolutely!! I am a firm believer that, when it comes to the mind-body-spirit triad, the benefits of exercise will be felt and seen with the mind and spirit first and the body last, because it's the mind and the spirit that push you to get off your butt and make the effort. You have to want it and want it badly enough to put up with the discomfort that should come from putting in a good workout (and yes, if you don't feel any physical discomfort or soreness afterward you aren't doing enough). If you don't want to make the commitment, and lack the discipline and determination to push yourself hard when you exericse (and also to recognize when you are hitting a plateau and need to step things up), you are NEVER going to see the benefits and positive changes in the physical realm. You know you are "doing it right" when getting ready to go work out, and doing the workout itself, becomes second-nature.
Just train with Jeaninne ..it is a mind body experience..:)

Alphabetter Juice: Or, the Joy of Textby Roy Jr Blount
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Fresh-squeezed Lexicology, with Twists
No man of letters savors the ABCs, or serves them up, like language-loving humorist Roy Blount Jr. His glossary, from ad hominy to zizz, is hearty, full bodied, and out to please discriminating palates coarse and fine. In 2008, he celebrated the gists, tangs, and energies of letters and their combinations in Alphabet Juice, to wide acclaim. Now, Alphabetter Juice. Which is better.
This book is for anyone—novice wordsmith, sensuous reader, or career grammarian—who loves to get physical with words. What is the universal sign of disgust, ew, doing in beautiful and cutie? Why is toadless, but not frogless, in the Oxford English Dictionary? How can the U. S. Supreme Court find relevance in gollywoddles? Might there be scientific evidence for the sonicky value of hunch? And why would someone not bother to spell correctly the very word he is trying to define on Urbandictionary.com?
Digging into how locutions evolve, and work, or fail, Blount draws upon everything from The Tempest to The Wire. He takes us to Iceland, for salmon-watching with a "girl gillie," and to Georgian England, where a distinguished etymologist bites off more of a "giantess" than he can chew. Jimmy Stewart appears, in connection with kludge and the bombing of Switzerland. Litigation over supercalifragilisticexpialidocious leads to a vintage werewolf movie; news of possum-tossing, to metanarrative.
As Michael Dirda wrote in The Washington Post Book World, "The immensely likeable Blount clearly possesses what was called in the Italian Renaissance 'sprezzatura, that rare and enviable ability to do even the most difficult things without breaking a sweat." Alphabetter Juice is brimming with sprezzatura. Have a taste.
"The humorist and panelist on public radio's Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me pours a tall glass of wordplay, witticism, curmudgeonry, and anecdote in this beguiling follow-up to Alphabet Juice. Leafing through the Oxford English Dictionary and other respectable sources, Blount compiles his own facetious lexicon of terms that pique his interest and prod him into a ramble. 'Sonicky' words always get high marks for sheer auto-evocativeness — 'âÇÿsplotch' explodes from the mouth and makes an unmissable mess of itself' — but any dubious etymology, quaint and off-color usage, or over-reaching lexicographer's dictat is liable to get him going. Then he's off into historical digressions ('not until 1598 did prick appear as an insult'), grammatical rants (you-all is not singular, Yank), miscellaneous peeves (Karl Rove's prose, people who think somebody else wrote Shakespeare's plays), and, always, a shaggy-dog story he wants to tell. Such is the force of the author's free-associational logic that the entry on meta-narrative carries us straight through Jean-Francois Lyotard's theory of the postmodern to international news reports of a rash of hog- and possum-hurling misdemeanors in Mississippi. Blount's hilarious collection of riffs and raves adds up to a cantankerous ode to the English language in all its shambling grace. (May)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
"The immensely likeable Blount clearly possesses what was called in the Italian Renaissance 'sprezzatura,' that rare and enviable ability to do even the most difficult things without breaking a sweat." Michael Dirda, The Washington Post
"Lamenting critics of finicky language users, humorist Blount declares that when it comes to language, he intends to 'finick' until the day he dies. And finick he does, with joy and curiosity and a great appreciation for words....Writers and readers will love this book." Booklist
A Heaping Helping of Letters, Words, Gists, and Energies from a Beloved HumoristRoy Blount Jr. has made his living using words in every medium, print or electronic, except greeting cards. After his twenty-first book, Alphabet Juice (2008), it finally seemed he'd gotten over his ABC's. But a single glass of Juice could never contain the etymological goulash that always simmers on the back burner of Blount's mind. Thus, Alphabetter Juice, a second helping of Blount's dexterous wordplay and linguistic legerdemain. Rather than proper English, Blount prescribes an "over-the-counter" mélange of a language, unearthing a slew of factoids, fripperies, and flabbergasting phenomena that will change the way you speak—or misspeak.Blount rejects the standard linguistic notion that the connection between words and their meanings is "arbitrary." As he tells it, the look and sound of our words is pinned crucially to their "definitions"—whatever those are. From sources as venerable as the OED (in which Blount finds an inconsistency, at whisk) and as new as urbandictionary.com (to which Blount has contributed the number-one definition of "alligator arm"), and especially from the author's own wide-ranging experience, the freshly squeezed Alphabetter Juice derives a natural take on language that is unlike, and more fun than, any other. Drink up.
About the Author
Roy Blount Jr. is the author of twenty-one previous books, covering subjects from the Pittsburgh Steelers to Robert E. Lee to what dogs are thinking. He is a regular panelist on NPRs Wait, Wait . . . Dont Tell Me! and is a member of the American Heritage Dictionary Usage Panel. Born in Indianapolis and raised in Decatur, Georgia, Blount now lives in western Massachusetts with his wife, the painter Joan Griswold.

History came alive in the hands of a masterful performer. Sandy took on the persona of great women in American history and did it with such skill and aplomb that I was completely swept up in the illusion.

MAC Spring Colour Forecast 3 Review and Swatches
Hey chicklets!
I'm chugging my way through the MAC Spring Colour Forecast Collection. Phew, it's a big one isn't it? What have you hauled so far?
Today I have swatches of MAC Spring Colour Forecast 3 for you plus a review.
Two gems from this collection for the Muse which are the Blush Ombre in Vintage Grape and MAC Lipglass in Purple Rage. I wasn't sure about either but ever so happy I tested out because they are gorgeous. But let's discuss the eye palette first? Good deal?
First off I would like to toss it out there that I LOVE the new eye quad design. So please can we keep this? They rock! It's a little larger than the old quad design, only slightly, but the real reason I adore it is it's a smooth, flat square. It seems to stack and store easier than the old quads plus it's way more elegant looking. Whatcha think? Isn't it a keeper? Let's see any future quads released in this new packaging!
That's all I have to say good about the palette.
I hated the colors sadly. I normally like purple and I thought the promo model was rocking but up close they were somewhat uneventful plus they made my eyes tired looking. The quad contains Minx Pink (Soft Pink), Bruised Plum (Dirty Mauve), Black Tulip (Dark Grape), and Jungle Moon (Eggplant). The shades proved incredibly difficult to work with, blended really badly, and just weren't up to my normal raving when it comes to MAC shadows. Honestly three of the four shades look matte to me so imagine my surprise learning only one is a matte and the others are veluxe and frost finishes. Maybe it was me and the skills I simply do not have but I couldn't make this one work (hell I had to work HARD for the swatches I did, they just don't apply correctly). I'd skip it if you haven't hauled already.
Now as I mentioned above the real winners for me were the MAC Blush Ombre in Vintage Grape and Lipglass in Purple Rage.
Vintage Grape has people up in arms on whether they need it or not, I'd like to think you do. Some are scared it'll apply a bruised purple but on my cheeks it was a very soft shade of warmer pink. I'd liked it very much and think it's do-able with a very light hand.
Purple Rage Lipglass had me worried as I def do not do purple lipgloss or lipstick well. But turns out it's just a very lovely deep, rich shade of berry on my lips. It's quite a stunning shade, I wouldn't call it Spring really but it'll rock during the Holidays. I loved it and deem it worthy of a haul if you like vibrant, bolder shades of gloss.
Overall, MAC Spring Colour Forecast isn't my fav of the Forecasts but it has some nice pieces worth exploring.
What did you haul from it?
Anything I missed out on that I SHOULD be buying?

2/19/10 19:34 Norlyn:
Hmm, I actually think the eye look you have here looks beautiful on you. But I'll take your word for it that the eyeshadows are difficult. I love the lipgloss on you, I'll have to go check it out when I do my haul. Your eyebrows look great, btw!
2/19/10 21:01 Kristina:
Thanks for the review. I looked at that eye palette today when I stopped by my MAC counter to see if they had Ripe Peach (they don't), so thanks for saving me the money! I may check out the lippie now though…
2/19/10 21:34 knownever:
Of all the shadow quads in the collection this is actually the one I'm most into. However, I could see the light matte and violet shimmer shades giving people problems! I'm just such a sucker for matte purples.
2/19/10 23:23 daisyv316:
first of all thanks for giving us an honest opinion. Sometimes I feel that reviewers are a little to nice but I feel that you are true to your word when it comes to your reviews. Second of all, I am going to get vintage grape and the lovely l/g u are wearing =)
2/26/10 18:39 daisyv316:
I got vintage grape at my local counter, and I really love it! I apply the dark color as my contour and the pinkish part as my blush and I top it off with coralista =) my favorite combo. I am of olive skin tone, I am mexican so it just gives me the right color to my cheeks =)
2/19/10 23:53 Phyrra:
Honestly, the 3 I think are a necessity are Pink Burst Lipstick, and Kumquat and Electric fuschia lipglasses. Kumquat can be wild or neutral, believe it or not. I put on Nyx lipliner in Natural, which is sort of a peachy-brown-pink liner, and filled in my lips and then put on Kumquat and my lips looked nice but natural. I was impressed.
2/20/10 3:26 Ling:
Hi Muse, i am eager to get my hands on MAC's spring collection.. its calling out my name…just wait till the collection hits the Singapore shores… : ) Meanwhile, i was thinking of getting Vintage grape , i am a MAC NC 37, not too sure if i will end up looking like a bruised grape? what do you think?
2/20/10 8:38 Andrea:
I really like that lip gloss. It reminds me of sparkly grape juice. Who woulda thought that'd be such a flattering color?
2/20/10 23:57 Megan:
Oh, why must you torment me so? [sigh]
I've been fairly good about keeping away from the MAC counter for the sake of my poor wallet. And then you have to go and show me that absolutely GORGEOUS Lipglass!
Seriously, I think one of these days I am going to have to spoil myself and pick up at least one MAC product for my collection [I know – how can I call myself a makeup junkie without having any MAC? LOL]
2/21/10 12:08 Katros:
Hi Muse, I read you everyday but rarely post a response. Thanks for your reviews! Quick question please? This quad looks like a warm purple? If it is, that would be perfect for my daughter. (I have three daughters, and I am a makeup addict too so my poor husband is outnumered huh? :-D)
2/21/10 12:29 Astrid:
I absolutely adore berry coloured glosses so it looks like I've got another thing to add to my wishlist!!

The looks of this forecast scared me a bit since it SO purple. However, after seeing your pics, I really like it. I think that these products look so lovely on you, especially the lipglass. I may have to try it myself
2/21/10 21:11 Valerie:
This whole MAC spring color forecast has been something I have been trying sooooo hard to love, but the colors just aren't grabbing me at all. I might *might* get the peach ombre blush though, or actually maybe the purple, that one surprised me! :O
Hmmmm…Purple Rage looks a bit like Jam Packed from Cult of Cherry. Are they that similar in color?

I've just launched a Patreon to help me get back into making comics!
There are more details at the Patreon page itself, but basically I have a slate of comics I'd like to complete by the end of 2015, and I'm hoping Patreon contributors will be kind enough to help me achieve my goal.
If you've enjoyed anything I've ever put together, like Gone&Forgotten, BOO!Halloween Stories, The Chronological Superman, the Postcard Project, the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Reduxe Edition, Jeremy, The Philosophaz, or any of the art and illustration I've posted to Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Google+, DeviantArt and even LiveJournal (links for most of these at the Patreon itself) for lo these many years, OR if you've been intrigued by some of the samples and concepts I've been posting to this Tumblr, then I would appreciate it greatly if you'd consider contributing to the Patreon or, at the very least, helping to spread the word.
Even a buck a month is more than enough (although, just to upsell the whole shmear for a moment, though, the $3/mo level is where the good stuff kicks in, including access to a private blog where I'll be posting stuff that no one else gets to see)…
Thanks in advance for taking the time to check it out, and - even if you don't contribute - thanks for sticking around and for all the support and kind words you folks have always had to offer in regards to my art, it means a lot!

Going Out on a Limb Here...
by Mark Naples on Aug 29, 12:00 AM
The end of the year is when most people make their predictions. I've decided to stick my neck out with a few choice predictions for the year beginning Monday, September 1. I'm sure I'll be wrong with some of these. But, I'll bet I won't be THAT wrong with most.

Cartas de Relacion
by Jim Meskauskas on Aug 28, 12:00 AM
Can-cun. It is an artificial city in the Yucutan Penninsula. The word 'can-cun' means "nest of snakes in the Mayan tongue. Some 33 years ago, all that could be found in abundance on the north-eastern most tip of the Yucutan Penninsula, when a group of international investors and a corrupt Mexican government conspired to carve out a stretch of jungle and make it a resort destination. Today I went through a village called Valladolid a few miles from Chechen Itza. There were TWO Internet stations branded with the Yahoo logo.

Great Expectations - Are They Realistic?
by Cory Treffiletti on Aug 27, 12:00 AM
A few weeks ago I brought up the issue of expectations as one of my pet peeves and I feel that this week we need to focus on it a little bit more.

The Quick and the Dead
by Tom Hespos on Aug 26, 12:00 AM
"When do we need to go live?" is usually among the first questions we ask whenever engaged by a new client for an online campaign. "Yesterday," is almost always the reply.

Something to Hang our Hat on?
by Seana Mulcahy on Aug 25, 12:00 AM
I don't think you'll disagree, we've all been searching for something to hang our hat on. Have you heard the positive news of predicted eTail success? Last week, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) announced that Internet advertising totaled $1.692 billion in the first three months of 2003. Are you sitting down? This represents the first time we've had an increase quarter to quarter in two consecutive years.

And the Winner of the Award for Best Brand Interaction Is...
by Mark Naples on Aug 22, 12:00 AM
Have you ever been in a dinner conversation with friends and heard someone exclaim about their favorite television commercial? Unfortunately, most advertising is judged by that, its entertainment value, since - as we all know - measuring brand retention is a far less sexy and, well, less entertaining matter. I'm continually impressed by how many times that conversation includes those most vocal not knowing what the ad is for.

Contextual Marketing: The Once and Future King (Again)
by Jim Meskauskas on Aug 21, 12:00 AM
Although contextual advertising -- advertising found in or surrounded by content that has affinity with a product or service, such as articles or search results -- has been around for years, suddenly what was once old is new again and the tactic is hotter than that night that the lights went out and the air conditioners stopped humming.

Blackouts, Gubernatorial TV Shows, and Flash Mobs
by Cory Treffiletti on Aug 20, 12:00 AM
This past week was REALLY strange. First of all, I spent much of this past week reading about, and watching, the newest reality show that has captivated the nation called, "Who Wants To Be A Governor?" The show stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gary Coleman, and Larry Flynt as Sacramento hopefuls as they battle their arch-nemesis Gray Davis as well as all forms of rationale thought!

Blackouts, Big Celebrities, and Big Macs
by Seana Mulcahy on Aug 18, 12:00 AM
What a week it's been. I don't know about where you are, but Boston has been a rainy mess for the past couple of weeks. To top it all off, my modem got blasted by lightening. I spent almost three days on dial up. Sure we online advertising folk boast that almost half the online population has broadband. But what about the other half?

Balkan Brass Battle Tour kicks off big
"It has the air of a boxing match with a rowdy and expectant crowd. On the left, one trumpeter appears, on the right, another. They eye each other up and as you are distracted by the musical phrases they are swapping, an army of musicians appears behind each of them. It's the night after the Eurovision Song Contest, but you feel it's a much more fiercely fought competition that is about to take place." That's what The Guardian wrote about their gig in Budapest.
The Balkan Brass Battle is touring successfully through European cities and the competition for the title "King of Balkan Brass" is getting tighter. Watch out for the gig in your town because for Leipzig, Berlin and Gent are only few tickets left.

Balkan Brass Battle CD out on may 20th
Finally, the two titans of East European Gypsy music go head to head in a Balkan brass encounter of epic proportions. Following the tradition of brass battles from Serbia's legendary Guca Brass Festival to New Orleans' mean streets, the Balkan Brass Battle showcases the wit, passion and musical genius of Europe's Romany Gypsy people.
In the left corner: Fanfare Ciocărlia, the Romanian rockers who rose from rural obscurity to international fame as one of the world's most explosive live bands. Their fierce groove helped fuel a global beats revolution: Fanfare Ciocărlia tearing the roof off the sucka night after night!
In the right corner: Serbian trumpet legend Boban Marković & Orkestar – survivors of the Yugoslav civil war, Guca Festival's greatest champions, immortalized in Emir Kusturica's maverick films, Boban's Orkestar now feature young gun Marko Marković, the fastest trumpet in town!
The Balkan Brass Battle CD was recorded across a feverish, sleepless forty-eight hours in a Transylvanian hotel right outside Graf Dracula, the castle of Vlad Tepes. Both bands laid down their hottest grooves then shaped up for a battle royal in the studio. Your ears won't believe these Gypsy mavericks turbo charged takes on Duke Ellington's 'Caravan' and John Barry's 'James Bond Theme'. Also recorded were Balkan folk tunes, original compositions and a surreal take on 'Gummy Bear' from the McDonalds' Kids Menu.

Brasslands – new film about Guča
Brasslands is a feature documentary film currently in post-production shot in New York City and Guča, Serbia, at the 50th anniversary of the world's largest brass music festival. Brasslands follows the members of Zlatne Uste, an unlikely New York Balkan brass band as they travel to Guča to represent the United States in the first ever competition for international bands. Once in Guča, we meet some of our other main characters, including Dejan Petrovic and Demiran Ćerimović, virtuosic trumpeters and former Guča champions.
Brasslands – Work-in-progress Trailer from meerkatmedia.org.
Featuring a rich soundtrack with driving rhythms fiery melodies performed by the best brass bands in the world, Brasslands is more than just a film about Balkan brass music. It is an unusual unique story that would otherwise never be told, that offers insight and exclusive coverage of the world's most contagious music and musicians, and the tensions and struggles that lie beneath the surface.
Brasslands is made on a largely volunteer basis by a New York-based arts collective. At this crucial stage in production, we are calling on all lovers or Balkan brass music and documentary film to help fund a truly remarkable project. Your pledge will come with prizes, from exclusive field recordings made at Guča, to t-shirts and a trip for two to NY to attend North America's largest Balkan brass festival.

Countdown for Balkan Brass Battle
The preparations for the ultimate Balkan Brass Battle of Fanfare Ciocarlia versus Boban & Marko Markovic Orchestra are in full swing. This month both legends of Balkan Brass hid away in the dark forests of Transylvania and rehearsed for the major challenge of their career.
The home advantage of Fanfare during those days definitely stimulated the Markovics to give their very very best… During the stay of the rivals in Romania the recording sessions for the upcoming album were finished – out on Asphalt Tango Records in May 2011!

Peruvian bishops: 'The fight against corruption is a national need'
Catholic World News - May 18, 2010
Amid mounting reports of government corruption, the bishops of Peru are "invite[ing] the public to practice ethics and to recover ancestral values that should govern the fate of all institutions of the country."
"The illegal use of state resources and use of public authority to benefit those who exercise authority, rather than serving the people, damages the nation as a whole, but especially the poorest," the bishops said in a statement.
"The fight against corruption is a national need," they continued. "To eliminate it, what is needed, along with the strong will of the authorities, is the generous cooperation of all Peruvians, supported by a strong moral conscience which should never be lost-- for the good of all-- especially for the sake of the most in need."
88% of the nation's 28.6 million people are Catholic.

LAKELAND, Fla. -- New spring, new start for Dontrelle Willis, the former Florida Marlins ace who has been covered in rust since landing in Detroit last season.
"Every year, I feel like I have to win a job," Willis says, referring to both his golden years in Florida and his current, slump-ridden stretch. "There's no different mentality."
There is a different vibe, however. The Willis who was selected as National League Rookie of the Year in 2003, named to two NL All-Star teams and once was one of the game's most dominant and effervescent pitchers, is gone.
In his place is an older (27) model who is attempting to keep his career from slipping away. Willis appeared in only eight games during his first season in Detroit in 2008, starting seven, and going 0-2 with a 9.38 ERA. Most baffling was his 35 walks against only 18 strikeouts in just 24 innings.
New Tigers pitching coach Rick Knapp is watching a determined Willis who has tweaked his mechanics on the advice of the club's minor-league coaches who worked with Willis in the midst of his control problems last year.
"The stuff the guys in the minor leagues worked with him on really took," Knapp says.
While Willis' delivery remains unorthodox, his current version is simplified. He doesn't twist away from the plate quite as dramatically as he once did -- "he's not as violent with his head," Knapp says -- and his leg kick is a little more deliberate and not quite as high.
"He still has his personality," Knapp says, adding that he is relieved with that.
"As a teacher, sometimes the more you get in guys' heads where his mechanics are concerned, the more chance you have to lose him," Knapp says.
So Knapp is attempting to take it slow with Willis and sprinkle in timely suggestions.
So far, it's been a good first impression on Willis.
"He's explained a lot of things, like about us playing catch properly," Willis says. "Things I had never heard before about things that are like second nature to me."
The theory being, of course, is that if you play catch properly, the odds of developing bad habits lessen. Proper arm angle, proper footwork ... it all goes hand in hand, so to speak.
Willis, who has been one of the game's hardest workers since breaking into the majors in 2003, arrived in Lakeland on Jan. 2 to begin preparing for 2009.
"He had some goals in mind, delivery-oriented, that he wanted to achieve," Knapp says. "He's looked pretty good."
Next step: When the Grapefruit League season begins on Wednesday. Baby steps for now. Willis is no longer the sure thing he once was. But it's spring, and at this time of year, there's always hope.
All set for the Oscars on Sunday night? I think I'm the only guy in America who did not like Slumdog Millionaire. Bet it wins best picture anyway, but I thought it was extremely overrated.
Based purely on personal enjoyment -- not technical filmmaking, scripts or anything else -- here's how I see the five pictures up for Best Picture this year:
1. Frost/Nixon. Frank Langella is captivating as Nixon.
2. The Reader. Kate Winslet is so good.
3. Milk. Sean Penn should win Best Actor over Mickey Rourke. Rourke (The Wrestler) was really, really good. But part of it was, and this isn't to diminish Rourke, he was playing himself. Penn was acting the whole way. And while everyone is talking about Penn and Rourke, Langella deserves a big mention here.
4. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Too long and not balanced enough. Too much time spent on Button as a young man in an old man's body, and not nearly enough on him as an old man in a young man's body. I thought the latter was when it really started to get interesting, and that only came in the final 45 or so minutes of a movie that lasted for nearly three hours.
5. Slumdog Millionaire. The uplifting ending? The Bollywood dance during the credits? Give me a break.
Likes: Toronto center fielder Travis Snider, one good-looking rookie prospect. ... That the media relations director of the Toronto Blue Jays is named Jay. Jay Stenhouse. How perfect is that? But I am glad that Detroit doesn't have a media relations director named Tiger. Tiger Britten instead of Brian? Nah. ... Pitchers throwing live batting practice. After the first couple days of spring, camps begin to get a little boring. Then, when the position players begin to arrive, the pitchers begin to throw to them, and that really puts some juice in camp. Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera batted against Justin Verlander the other day -- I wasn't in Lakeland then, but I would have loved to have seen that one. ... The large dinosaur statues off of Interstate 4 next to the billboard that reads, "You're leaving Dinosaur World." Kitschy. ... Lemon Grass Thai Kitchen on West Kennedy Blvd. in Tampa. ... The Huevos a la Mexicana at Tapatio's in Lakeland.
Dislikes: You mean that steroid Alex Rodriguez said his cousin got over-the-counter in the Dominican Republic wasn't available by prescription, even in the D.R.? Shocking.
Sunblock Day: Cold. I mean, like 40-some degrees cold at 7 this morning. Nice, bright sun, and I know some Tigers-related folks spoke with family back home in Michigan and it was only 15 or so and snowing. That quieted the weather-related complaining in Florida very quickly.
Rock 'N' Roll Lyric of the Day:
"It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
"Caught somewhere between a boy and man
"She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
"It was summertime in Northern Michigan"
-- Kid Rock, All Summer Long
