Warmer air moved in aloft over cold air at the surface as the initial low moved from the Ohio Valley to western New York State. This caused the snow to mix with and or change to sleet and freezing rain as far north as the greater Capital District with areas to the north and west remaining snow.
Snowfall accumulations ranged from as low as 3 to 4 inches up to over a foot across portions of the southern Adirondacks and Southern Green Mountains of Vermont.

I've not followed the X-Men verse for awhile I guess, and the last I actively read was Whedon's run (I know, forever ago right?!), but...
Cyclops following Magneto's path and Wolverine upholding Xavier's ideals? Sounds like bullshit to me.
That's a very simplistic way of explaining things. Cyclops is in a unique and precarious postion. He has to think like the leader and protector of a dying species, not just the leader of a highly-trained team of super-heroes. While at the same time, he is sending a clear message to the rest of the world that the X-Men are NOT to be fucked with. And yes, some of his decisions of late have been iffy, but his primary goal has been still to save the world for mutants, not conquer it for mutants as Magneto would have tried.
However, there was a funny scene in Uncanny #1 in which Storm (who would never go along with Cyclops if he were truly going down Magneto's path) in which she asks every member of Scott's Extinction Team (Cyclops, Storm, Emma, Namor, Magneto, Colossus, Magik and Hope) to raise their hand if they have never had a period of their career that could be defined as primarily "Super-Villain", and when Scott raises his hand, Storm asks him if he's sure about that.
I hate having thoughts on the top of my head. They usually jump off and commit suicide.

Military records provide some of your most emotional discoveries. Find the war heroes in your family in our millions of service records, medal records, casualty lists and other Army records and Navy records.
In 1815, Napoleon attempted to reclaim his title as Emperor of France but was soundly defeated at the Battle of Waterloo by a coalition of British and Prussian forces. Over 25,000 British troops fought in the battle and these records will help you find your ancestors who were there.
Our Waterloo Medal Roll collection provides a list of all the troops who participated in the battle, but you can search the UK, British Army Muster Books and Pay Lists, 1812-1817, for even more details about your ancestor's service. These troop accounts span the years of the Napoleonic Wars and include information such as rank, pay, regiment, start date, and more.
Find out exactly what your relatives experienced during World War I, with two new collections of detailed War Diaries. These collections are extra special as they include daily reports on operations from the Western Front and the Gallipoli Campaign. You can find out where your ancestors were and what they were doing at particular periods during the war.
The level of detail varies depending on who was filling in each diary - but at times you can read what the weather was like and how morale was holding up. You'll even find hour-by-hour accounts of some of WWI's largest battles, from the soldiers' point-of-view.
While there are many Army collections available, this is a unique opportunity to discover valuable details about your relatives who served in the UK Royal Navy. There are 390,000 records available, searchable by name, date and place of birth, first ship served on, last service year and more.
Take a close look at the images and you'll find the seaman's physical description, including age, height, hair and eye colour, and even complexion. Most fascinating, though, are the descriptions of wounds, scars and marks. For those with no photographic evidence, these personal details let you paint a complete picture of what your relative might have looked like.
Service records are the perfect place to start your search for World War I heroes. They reveal their ranks and regiments, where they served, what medals they received and many more personal details.
This collection, British Army WWI Service Records, 1914-1920, includes soldiers who either died during WWI or remained in service until the end of the War. Its sister collection, British Army WWI Pension Records, 1914-1920, covers soldiers who were discharged to pension — usually because they were injured.
When you find a relative's Service record, note down his regimental number. You can then use this to pick him out in other collections.×
Just about everybody who served in WWI was due a medal of some sort. As a result, British Army WWI Medal Rolls Index Cards, 1914-1920 — put together to record what awards each soldier had earned — is the most complete list of Britain's heroes.
If you find a relative received the Distinguished Conduct Medal, you can learn more about the courageous deeds that earned it for them in our separate DCM collection.
Military Campaign Medal and Award Rolls, 1793-1949, provides details of more than 2 million soldiers over three centuries of warfare. It lists those who were eligible for a huge variety of campaign medals — which were usually awarded to everyone who fought in particular battles.
You can discover whether your relatives fought in the Napoleonic Wars, The Indian Mutiny, The Crimea or dozens of other conflicts. The two World Wars aren't included — you'll find the WWI rolls in our separate collection.

< Interview With a Teenage Vampire
Wednesday, June 23, 2010
HOST INTRODUCTION: Just when you think the vampire craze might have run its course, a new book hits the stores or another T-V show launches. Next week, the latest Twilight movie opens nationwide. And HBO's True Blood just started its third season. Fans of the undead keep wanting more. Rookie Reporter Hawa Lee reports on the sometimes spooky connection between vampires and teenagers.
NARRATION: When I was around 9 years old, I watched Interview with a Vampire. Claudia, the little vampire girl stood out to me the most. She gets furious when she finds out she's going to be a child forever. I thought she was overreacting.
CLAUDIA: What you told me to do!
VAMPIRE: Leave a corpse here to rot?
NARRATION: Why is she having a fit about never having to become some old lady?
Claudia: Which one of you did it? Which one of you made me the way I am?
NARRATION: Ugh, be quiet little girl! After watching that movie, I didn't want to be a princess anymore; I wanted to be a creature of the night. Vampires were pale, beautiful and sometimes rich. Meanwhile, I was two tones from brown, not really considered beautiful by some people and money-wise, probably in the low middle class. My early obsession with these creatures made people feel uneasy at first. Then, Twilight burst into the scene.
NARRATION: Vampires are making people go crazy.
FANS: Edward!!!
NARRATION:Now Edward, the main guy fictional character, has more power over teens than Miley Cyrus! What did this book do to these poor people?
FAN 1: We're going to make eye contact, and he's going to throw me into his arms and he's going to tell me he loves me and we're going to get married.
NARRATION: Before I knew it, Twilight infiltrated the minds of some of my friends and peers.
JESSICA: Now every girl in the world wants an Edward.
NARRATION: That's Jessica aka "the spazz machine" of my group of friends.
JESSICA: I feel so bad for their boyfriends because some of the girlfriends actually broke up with their boyfriends saying, "I want an Edward. I want an Edward." I'm like, "What! You're never going to get an Edward."
NARRATION: Then weird stories started to circulate in my school about this one couple who said they were vampires. I was like "What!"
EDGAR: I gotten bitten but I don't know if they did it like on purpose, or if it was just a joke, but it really annoyed me.
MELISSA: They just bit me out nowhere!
NARRATION: I'm really not ready to become one of those victims, but fate likes to mess with you and it did with me when I was walking with friends to the subway. Right in front of me, behold...the vampire couple.
JESSICA: You want to talk to them now?
HAWA: No! No, I don't want to! No stop, stop, stop don't. Don't do that.
NARRATION: I really don't believe the vampire couple are vampires, but it's never bad to be cautious. So yeah, I'm scared.
HAWA: Are you ready?
JONATHAN: Okay.
HAWA: Do you know what my topic is on anyway?
JONATHAN: Vampires?
NARRATION: Yeah. I try to be as casual as possible.
HAWA: Okay, you seem to know a lot about vampires. So I'm going to jump into it. So I heard you think you guys are vampires, is that true or false?
NARRATION: He said his girlfriend isn't.
JONATHAN: I don't think she would be able to control herself.
HAWA: 'Cause last time, from what I heard from Edgar, he was walking with you both and then he had a scab or something and apparently she ripped it or something. Did that ever happen or is he, do you think he's just making it up?
JONATHAN: No, that happened. Because of me she had a few weeks of just complete and total blood lust.
HAWA: So, you think you are?
Jonathan: Per se.
HAWA: So...
NARRATION: Awkward.
HAWA: Anything that makes you specifically different from being a human?
JONATHAN: Mild light sensitivity, I eat really rare meats, I don't really like everything too cooked. You get a little paler.
NARRATION: That's it?
HAWA: Well, Melissa told me you that you bite her often. Do you bite other people often or is it just for fun? Like do you seriously do it like you need something from them or do you just like do it for fun?
JONATHAN: Well in school I just really do it for fun. I'm not really going to try to attack you in school, that's just dumb. The taste of flesh is good though.
NARRATION: O-M-F-G. Note to self: don't ever go near him when he's hungry. I wonder if other teens think they're vampires.
HAWA: In your school are there people that are obsessed with Twilight? Like crazy?
KIDS: Yes!
HAWA: Like did you ever hear one of them say "Hey, I'm a vampire!" Or like heard rumors they drink blood or something like that.
GIRL 2: My Spanish partner thinks she's one. She's like "I want to bite someone. I'm thirsty for blood!" I get so scared, oh my god.
BOY 4: There's these people in my global class and they claim to have been bitten by vampires actually. I'm pretty sure they drew it on their neck, but there were these two marks on their neck, and then like over the next couple weeks they started acting like vampires, you know dressing in dark clothes and not clipping their nails so they look like they have claws.
NARRATION: Eww, I don't like long nails! Those kids should have gotten custom fangs instead.
NARRATION: Ra Ubasti is an artist who makes clip-on fangs for basically everyone under the rainbow!
RA: Everything I do is custom made so basically only you can wear your fangs, no one else can wear your teeth. There's some people that think "oh, I could put on Shelly's fangs." No, you can't.
NARRATION: Ra says she can see why some teenagers would want to believe they're vampires.
RA: Especially if you're one of the dorky kids and you don't really fit in, you know you wanna identify with something powerful. I'm edgy and I'm scary, and you don't wanna be around me, and like they embrace this archetype. So like you kinda identify with a romanticized character that like is always ostracized. What is better than a vampire?
NARRATION: When I first got into vampires in middle school, I had trouble socializing, had no friends and only really talked to my family. I was basically an outsider, and in the fantasy universe in the books I read, vampires were like me, but much cooler.
LAUREN: It's interesting because when you hear experts talking about vampires they say that the reason teens like them so much is because they are on the cusp of very sexy, but also very safe.
NARRATION: That's Lauren Mechling. She's a culture editor at The Wall Street Journal and writes young adult novels.
LAUREN: In all of these Vampire books the whole thing that everyone is distressed about and everyone is toggling back and forth between is can we or can't we. "Oh, I love you, I really want to get it on, but if we do, I might die! And enter the world of the dead and become a vampire." So people are saying that kids like vampires because they're actually scared of sex.
NARRATION: Hmm...weird, but true. To do or not to do. That theory makes sense since we're between adulthood and childhood. So one part of us is cowering in the corner, the other one is like, "Yeah! Let's go!" Then again, we teenagers are like Rubix cubes. You may be able to solve us at one point, but in a flash we turn, flip, turn, back into a hard puzzle. Like me, I used to think vampires were cool, but I really hate stuff on repeat all the time, so I soon lost interest.
HAWA: Would you guys ever turn into a vampire if you guys had the chance?
GIRL: Oh hell no! No, I would not turn into a vampire. I wanna be a werewolf.
NARRATION: For WNYC, I'm Rookie Reporter Hawa Lee.

Google and Twitter have gotten together to circumvent the internet blockade in Egypt and are now offering a service enabling those in Egypt to reach out via voice messages which are then tweeted by a special account.
As the revolution in Egypt continues to unfold the lockdown on communication methods tightens. The last active ISP to serve individual users was cut off, text messages are being disrupted, but phone lines are now working again, apparently.
"Over the weekend we came up with the idea of a speak-to-tweet service—the ability for anyone to tweet using just a voice connection," Ujjwal Singh, CoFounder of SayNow and AbdelKarim Mardini, Product Manager at Google for Middle East & North Africa, wrote.
"We worked with a small team of engineers from Twitter, Google and SayNow, a company we acquired last week, to make this idea a reality," they announced.
"It's already live and anyone can tweet by simply leaving a voicemail on one of these international phone numbers (+16504194196 or +390662207294 or +97316199855) and the service will instantly tweet the message using the hashtag #egypt," they explained.
There are about 600 messages, most from Egypt at this point. People can simply call any of the numbers and then leave a voice message. They can also listen in on the messages already saved via the same numbers.
A link to each message is also tweeted by the Speak To Tweet account set up for this very reason. Of course, no internet connection is required to use the service making it perfect for the situation.
Traditional reporting is the only reliable means of keeping track of developments, but Speak to Tweet provides an account from the perspective of the people directly involved.
It's interesting that the tool was made possible by using the SayNow technology which Google only recently got its hands on. SayNow provides simple means of leaving voice messages and embedding them online, perfect for the current conditions in Egypt.

My priority are the two episodes I mentioned previously and getting them out the door first.
Well, thanks James for the update.
We miss the updates on the Phase2 Fourms. TV and media is changing as we watch, I still hope someone up the ladder will release your comments about treating ST Fan Films just as Pocket Books worked would make the studio and fan film makers very happy. With youtube, google TV, then Apple TV....
With the current onslaught of 'ADDS' on every web page, radio, podcast, movies, TV,busses, trucks, ect...
Studios want to get there "other products" out there. Promoting is very important.

Greg Ip analyzes Obama's "framework" (pdf), which would cut the corporate tax rate to 28 percent and close certain loopholes:
Mr Obama's proposal is better than what America already has, but not by much. His well-intentioned goal of broadening the tax base is betrayed by the preferences he insists on maintaining for manufacturing and "green" energy whose economic merits have been questioned, even by former members of his own administration. By maintaining many of the current tax breaks but apportioning them more variably, the tax code would become more complex rather than less so.
Scott A. Hodge criticizes Obama for adding new loopholes:
The plan creates a new 25 percent tax rate for manufacturing – perhaps, even a lower rate for "advanced" manufacturing. We can only imagine the feeding frenzy this would generate from lobbyists to get their industry declared manufacturing. As it is, the current "199" manufacturing deduction that was enacted in 2004, is available to architects, companies that grind hamburger, software firms, and companies that produce rap albums.
Annie Lowrey takes a closer look at the case for and against treating manufacturing differently. Len Burman wants a fuller plan:
You'd be hard-pressed to find any economists who are not industry lobbyists who think that the manufacturers' deduction is a good idea. It should be abolished, not reformed. If there are flaws in the rules governing multinationals, fix them. We don't need another minimum tax for multinationals. And instead of presenting a "framework," present a proposal. The Administration should have a fully articulated plan that shows how the pieces fit together and the numbers add up. Clearly something like that exists behind the doors of Treasury. Let's see it.
Ezra Klein likewise requests more specifics:
Both Romney and Obama's plans rely on closing, capping or otherwise reforming various deductions and tax breaks. But neither plan is specific about which deductions and tax breaks would come under the knife, nor about what would be done to them. So the Tax Policy Center can't fully assess either proposal. And that means we can't, either.
John Tozzi points out that changing the corporate tax rate won't help many small businesses:
The lower rate would only apply to companies organized as C corps, which pay corporate income taxes. They make up less than 6 percent of business tax returns, according to IRS data. (They account for closer to two-thirds of all business revenue and income.) For the rest of the business world, including partnerships, sole proprietors, S corps, and limited liability companies, their business earnings flow through to owners' personal income and are taxed at individual income tax rates.
Edward Alden wishes for bolder reforms:
What this proposal primarily does is to highlight the difficulty of trying to move discretely on any single aspect of tax reform. A tax system that is both more competitive and more fiscally responsible would require an array of changes. There are many ways reform could be sliced (which is why it's so hard to do). My preference would be for significantly lower corporate tax rate to encourage investment, coupled with a Value Added Tax to raise revenue, discourage consumption, and boost exports, and a more progressive income tax system to offset the regressive VAT. Yet in the current political environment, two out of the three are deemed topics not worthy of serious debate.
And, after lowering expectations, Howard Gleckman manages some optimism:
In all, Obama's plan is a modest but useful step in the direction of reform. We now have all the major presidential candidates on record supporting lower rates and a broader base. House Ways & Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) will have his own proposal very soon. By recent Washington standards, that is progress.
But what we need is a 1986-style Big Bang. I truly wish Obama would run on Bowles-Simpson. The only thing stopping him is the Democrats and his usual caution. I just think the oomph you need to get real change requires a populist movement that is as clear as it is simple. Otherwise, the lobbyists nibble you to shreds. Incrementalism won't work here.

She worked tirelessly to organize relief efforts for the thousands of new immigrants to the U.S.
Emma is known as an important forerunner of the Zionist movement. She argued for the creation of a Jewish homeland thirteen years before Herzl gave it a name, Zionism.

The evolution of English names in America has been more influenced by the various influxes of immigrants from different parts of the world during different times in its history.

Circular Saws
Circular Saws: Power and Versatility
The circular saw is the carpenter's all-around tool, and is among the most versatile and widely used of all saws. Circular saws can be used for crosscuts, bevel cuts and ripping such materials as plywood, hardwood and softwood. Although they are commonly designed with a wood-cutting blade, they can also be fitted with blades to cut masonry, metal or plastic.
Types of Circular Saws
The two main types of circular saws are worm-drive and sidewinder. You also have the option of corded or cordless models, as well as trim saws. Keep in mind what materials you plan to cut, and how much power, performance and convenience you want when evaluating which type of circular saw is right for you.
Worm-drive saws can easily cut through studs and plywood all day, making them a traditional favourite among professional carpenters. The motor on a worm-drive saw is located parallel to the blade, delivering enough torque to cut through wet lumber or concrete time and time again. However, in the case of a worm-drive circular saw, heavy-duty also means heavy weight. If you don't think you need the heavy weight power of a worm-drive saw, consider a saw that is lighter and easier to hold and carry.
Sidewinder saws, also known as traditional or inline saws, are popular on many construction sites and tend to be the overwhelming choice of many homeowners. The motor on a sidewinder is perpendicular to the blade, making for a more lightweight design, and delivering enough power for most woodcutting tasks. If you need a circular saw for medium-to-heavy-duty cutting, without the extra weight of a worm-drive saw, look for a sidewinder saw with helical gearing to supply some extra torque.
Other Considerations
Cordless circular saws offer easy portability, eliminating the need to haul around bulky extension cords or portable generators, an important factor if you travel regularly between jobsites. They also weigh considerably less than most corded models, but may have a smaller blade diameter than the standard corded size of 7-1/4", reducing the material thickness you can cut, and will have to be charged occasionally. Corded models, on the other hand, generally provide more torque and offer unlimited run times.
Some circular saws have built-in laser guides to help with precise, straight cuts. A laser line is projected on your workpiece, eliminating the need to clamp a straightedge to guide your path of cut. With a laser alignment system, you can first lay out your cut in pencil, and then travel over the pencil line as you cut for improved accuracy and efficiency.
Circular saws with smaller blade diameters, usually between 3-1/2" and 5-3/8", are commonly known as trim saws. Designed for finish carpentry work and other applications that involve thinner materials, trim saws are a smart choice for smaller craft and home improvement projects, and a variety of professional applications.
Circular Saw Blades
Circular saw blades come in a variety of sizes and can be designed for a number of different applications, from cutting wood to cement, to crosscutting blades and general-purpose blades. Choosing the right blade for each job will not only help improve your results, but workplace efficiency as well. Therefore, always look for blades that are designed for the material you intend to cut.
Blade diameters typically start at 3-3/8", with the most common size being 7-1/4". Generally, blades with more teeth will yield a cleaner cut, while blades with fewer teeth will deliver faster cuts, but rougher edges. Circular saw blades are typically constructed of steel or carbide-tipped steel. Consider the benefits of each:
Steel: Steel blades are a more economical choice, but require frequent sharpening to extend their lifespan. The teeth can dull quickly, so they might be better suited for occasional use.
Carbide-tipped: Carbide-tipped blades are extremely durable, with their long life often compensating for their higher price tag. For masonry and metal applications, look for an abrasive wheel or diamond blade.
Bevelling capability allows you to tilt the base to make angled cuts. Look for tool-less adjustment and positive stops for improved efficiency and accuracy when adjusting for common angles.
A clear view of the cut line is critical. If you are right-handed, but prefer a saw with a blade to the right of the motor, look for a notch in the upper blade guard to enhance visibility.
An electric brake stops the blade quickly when you release the trigger, enhancing safety and helping you get ready for the next cut more quickly.
Some saws offer one-step blade changes, either with or without the use of a tool. This is especially important to minimize downtime if you switch blades frequently.
Magnesium housing protects the motor, extending tool life without adding a lot of weight to the circular saw.
A dust blower removes dust from the cut line, enhancing visibility, and a dust port allows connection to a shop vacuum or dust bag to collect sawdust as you cut.

Episode #1206
Elizabeth Gilbert & IBM's Watson
Friday, February 11, 2011
It's the ultimate matchup of human vs. machine: IBM developed a supercomputer named Watson, and to prove the processor's mettle, it's going to compete against human champions on Jeopardy. Elizabeth Gilbert describes how an officer from the Department of Homeland Security transformed her from a marriage skeptic into a true believer. And listeners tell Kurt how they get creative with unlikely materials like icicles and coffee grounds.
The Category is...Man vs. Machine
Meet Watson, the newest contestant on Jeopardy! Starting Monday, February 14, he'll compete against the greatest Jeopardy! players of our generation. Did we mention that Watson is a supercomputer?
Eat, Pray, Love, Marry
When Elizabeth Gilbert wrote Eat, Pray, Love, a witty account of her globe-hopping, soul-searching journey after a divorce, she never imagined that Julia Roberts would be playing her in a movie adaptation.
My Poet/My Novelist
What's it like to practice the same line of work as your spouse? What if you're both writers, but one is a novelist — in love with plot and character — and one is a poet — obsessed with words? Novelist Naeem Murr wrote about that marriage for the Poetry Foundation. We brought him together with his wife, Averill Curdy, for both sides of the story.
Material Mashup
Last week, in honor of the publication of Studio 360's book Spark: How Creativity Works, we asked listeners to show us how they made something creative from an unexpected combination of materials. Kurt talks to a few about their submissions, which include an icicle forest, a version of Hamlet staged on a Spokane off-ramp, and a painting made of coffee grounds.
Spark: When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Art
This month we're celebrating 360's first decade on the air with the publication of the book Spark: How Creativity Works, by long-time Studio 360 executive producer Julie Burstein. In the book, scores of America's greatest filmmakers, writers, musicians and artists give readers an inside look at their creative processes and inspiration.
This week, Kurt and Julie discuss three different artists who confronted unique challenges and turned them into art: photographer Joel Meyerowitz, poet Donald Hall, and playwright Lynn Nottage.
Comments [5]
@Becky: We were looking forward to Kurt's appearance on The Colbert Report, as well. Unfortunately, the interview schedule changed at the last minute. But we're hoping Kurt will be discussing creativity and "truthiness" with Stephen soon, and if he does, we'll be sure to spread the word.
@deirdre: Thanks for the kind words...I just hope they're reaching the proper show, because we haven't done any stories on the best 100 Cuban Songs. We have done stories on Colombian Music (1/29/10) and we discussed Cuban music in our "American Icon" show on "I Love Lucy" (10/8/10). Hope that's helpful!
At the end of last week's show, Kurt mentioned appearing on the Colbert Report. My DVR listed him as featured guest, too, but he didn't appear last night. What happened? I was looking forward to it!
Hello. Love, love your show. I was just listening to a story about the best 100 Cuban songs. Could you please tell me the name of the collection?
Enid, I just listened to the same story today, Sunday---fascinating. The author/speaker is Jake Halpern, a fairly regular, and wonderul, journalist/author and in checking his website I'm not sure which "book" this investigation might be in. As for John, the person being interviewed, he has apparently gone on to really become an expert in forgeries---but I don't think he has written a book about this particular event in his life.
I listen to NPR almost daily, but when I try to look up information I am lost, I can never find what I need to find. Today, 2/12/201, I was listening to a most interesting story about some documents thought to be original papers from JFK. They were authenticated by a number of professional people. In the end they were found to be fakes. I believe the person being interviewed has a book telling the whole story. That's what I want to know, the title of the book. I should be most obliged if you would provide it to me.
Thank you
Enid Deak

Dior Golden Flower 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Today I have a slight obsession with the Dior Golden Flower 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette ($60) which is one of two limited edition palettes that launched with the Dior Golden Winter Holiday 2013 Collection.
I have to admit I think I blended it out to a near perfect finish this morning! It was such a great eyeshadow palette filled with complimentary shades that you won't feel overwhelmed about using ALL five in a single look (sometimes I get panicky when someone hands me a palette and expects me to use five different shadows in one look! OMG crazzeee!).
Take a look!
Dior Golden Flower 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette features five warmer shades of eyeshadow with a pinky peach shade (love this color wish they did it as a single), a beige ivory, a glittery gold, a golden brown, and chocolatey reddish brown.
The shades were actually bone dry and I got a little worried this would prove a disaster but they actually apply very well with excellent pigmentation and a soft, satiny finish. I tend to get a good deal of frost from the Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palettes but this palette had a very easy to use formula. I used my new Coastal Scents Smoky Eyes Brush Set to create my look and I had very little fall out issues (just a bit with the middle glittery gold shade) and although dry the colors blended out beautifully. I was surprised as at first they seem dry but they go softer as you blend. They wear excellent as well without creasing, fading, or losing intensity (I tested without eyeshadow primer).
I love the classic smoky brown eye look the shades create and just a touch of pretty gold glitter brings it into the festive zone! It's such a traditional, essential shadow palette but still manages to give off a festive feel as well!
If you love nude, natural smoky brown looks the Dior Golden Flower 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette contains the perfect selection of complimentary shades to create the look in minutes.
Loves this!
Muse Approved.
Anyone purchase it?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
It's available now at Dior counters, Dior.com, as well as Nordstrom.com.

11/20/13 11:09 Jamie:
I bought Golden Snow, but I really want this one too! Golden Snow is so pretty. Are you getting that one too?
11/20/13 12:04 Deb:
Looks good, Muse. I envy you those big, beautiful eyes to work with! I finally had to give up on Dior eye palettes; too much shimmer and glitter for these 57 yr old eyes. I do have one I still use (can't remember the name) that is neutrals like camel, brown, bronze, etc. It is the only one I've retained because it has little to no shimmer. Which is damn hard to find in Dior. Finally gave all the rest of mine away. Enjoy these while you can, this looks great on you
11/20/13 12:39 Deb:
Don't worry, it will be a long time before you have to worry about that The fine lines and so forth that you notice are likely not even visible to others. We are, after all, our own worst critics. I certainly don't notice them in your pics. And even when the glitter and high shimmer gets to the point where you have to reconsider it, there are so many wonderful eyeshadows out there without the frost factor but that still have "livable" shimmer and life. Which I'm sure, as the prolific blogger you are, you already know. Right now, I'm finding the Laura Mercier shadows to be terribly forgiving on these older eyes. Unlike you, I love me some matte eyeshadow, but the LM shimmer ones somehow just work on older skin. And I'm getting the same results with my shimmery ones from Rouge Bunny Rouge. I guess it's just all in the formula, huh?
11/21/13 9:06 kellly:
I've seen a few photos showing you with frost/twinkle on your eyes and I think it looks lovely on you! I think it's a matter of personal taste. I can never get enough twinkle and shimmer, altho I do use mattes sometimes.
I'm loving that white shimmer/twinkle but a Dior pallette is really out of my budget, particularly since I'm saving up for the Nudes 3!!! 😉
11/20/13 12:59 Christina:
Very pretty! I passed on this one and went for Golden Snow instead because the colors were just so pretty: silvery lavender/purple, pale pink, sparkly gold–who could resist!
It's my first Dior palette, and I guess I'm a bit taken aback by the frostiness. Based on what you say, seems like it's a common texture in their eyeshadows. I love shimmer, sparkle, glitter, metallics–you know name it!– but the one thing I just cannot do is frost. I want to wear the purply color on my lids during the day, but because it's frosty, I feel like it's too much. Looks gorgeous at night, though! All in all, I feel like I can only wear it at night, which makes $60 so hard to swallow. LOL!
It's good to hear that Golden Flower is not frosty, so maybe I'll pick that one up instead.
Have you seen promo pics of the spring palettes? Pretty!
11/20/13 13:54 Sara Elisabeth:
I bought it! I'm wearing it now. I love it!
11/20/13 14:25 Heidi:
Pretty. What I'm really loving, though, is that shade of lipstick you're wearing. Care to share?
11/20/13 23:12 Ashley:
Looks b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l on you!! I'm so happy you got blogger of the month by IT Cosmetics! I love your blog I'm on it everyday:)
11/21/13 0:14 SirenPrincess:
This is absolutely beautiful on you! I know I'm getting Rosy Tan for Christmas, but I really love this one too!
11/21/13 7:04 telle:
ugh :/ i need this. i wasn't planning on it….after these swatches though…i need it, like REALLY need it. its a nice refreshing change after a couple of years of very heavy gold themes with dior to have something different….annnnd it leaves me with needing it. *lol* Thanks, Muse! 😉 <3
11/21/13 13:28 Sarah S.:
Ugh, how I want this beauty! but I realized the pink/peach, ivory, and bronze are so similar to Wet n Wild Walking on Eggshells, plus the Too Faced color I use all the time (Exotic in Enchanted Garden) and then a shimmery gold I probably wouldn't use much… sigh, I'm being too practical 😉

Ai Phuket Hostel
Inspiration for our Chinese-chic style hostel came from ancient Chinese culture, Western culture, Chinese-style martial arts, as well as the fantasy cartoons of Chinese ancient times and the inns depicted in them.
The logo for our hostel is adapted from official stamp of the Chinese family name; the ancient Chinese character, which means "love". We have redesigned it to look like a person huddling up, to make whoever stays with us feel warm and welcome.
The color pink represents the liveliness of the contemporary Chinese style, while "Ai Phuket" represents the Chino-Portuguese style: native Phuket style integrated with modern style architecture to become "Chinese-chic"; created by the honoree interior designer.
Every room of Ai Phuket not only has the ambience of Chinese-chic, but has also been divined for its Feng Shui, or positive qi energy – used by the Chinese to find the best location for a building.

From The Phuket International Airport.
Option # 1
The most cost effective way is to hop on the Airport bus. Please note that this bus departs from the DEPARTURE floor. The fare will be Bht 90.00. On arrival at the Phuket central bus terminal we are only 10 mins walk away or alternatively you could opt to jump on local bus # 1 ( Pink colour ) which will cost you Bht 10.00... We are located on Yaowarat Road at the Lok Tian Intersection (Si Yaek Lok Tian).
Option # 2
You could opt for a limousine transfer both shared and private - this is expensive and in our opinion not worth the price. Furthermore as the driver is on commission he will endeavor to sell you products and services on- route - so be prepared to be hassled!
From The Central Bus Terminal.
We are only 15 mins by car or alternatively you could opt to jump on local bus # 1 ( Pink colour ) which will cost you Bht 15.00...We are located on Yaowarat Road at the Lok Tian Intersection (Si Yaek Lok Tian).
From Any Ferry Port.
Alight a local bus or Tuk Tuk ( local taxi ), Taxi motor bike.. and ask to be taken to Lok Tian Intersection (Si Yaek Lok Tian).

CSI's Secure Solution For Card-Not-Present Transactions
It can be tough to navigate the murky waters where mobile wallets and card-not-present transactions meet, but CSI's globalVcard can help to clear the way. By generating virtual MasterCard card numbers for single and multi-use transactions, the globalVcard gives businesses a secure and flexible way to make mobile payments. What does CSI believe the application's greatest strengths are, and what are they planning on showcasing during PYMNTS.com's Innovation Project?

CSI's Secure Solution For Card-Not-Present Transactions
What's the easiest way to protect your business' card information?
Don't give it out to a third party in the first place.
That's the essential strategy behind CSI and their globalVCard product: an application that generates virtual card numbers for limited use, protecting real card information while still enabling a wide range of transactions.
PYMNTS.com spoke with David Disque, senior vice president of operations, and Jason Kolbenheyer, senior product developer for CSI Enterprises, to discuss the globalVCard, learn about the company's plans for PYMNTS.com's Innovation Project and discuss why preventing fraud is of paramount importance in today's payments environment.
CSI is a company that has enabled B2B corporate payment solutions both domestically and internationally for over 24 years. They offer a wide variety of card-based solutions, but their flagship product, the globalVCard, is the type of innovative tool that Disque and Kolbenheyer believe can have a big impact on the industry.
According to Kolbenheyer, the globalVCard's usefulness is derived both from its secure and transactional capabilities, as well as the value-added functions that come with the application.
"The globalVCard application is a patent-pending mobile and web application, and it facilitates the creation of these secure and controlled virtual credit card numbers," Kolbenheyer explained. "The globalVCard enables users to determine how much their card is authorized for, how many times it can be used, where it can be used, who the cardholder's name is, and when it will expire. And we can attach important data to these cards, like photos of invoices and receipts, PO numbers, notes and more."
Disque added that the globalVCard can also be generated for someone else and assigned a specific purpose, effectively eliminating the need to expense items or engage in a redemption process.
"I can deliver an image of a card to you to purchase an airline ticket, specifically, and once you make that transaction, that card is no longer available or acceptable," Disque said.
While the convenience such a tool offers is obvious, both Disque and Kolbenheyer agreed that where the globalVCard is perhaps most useful is in its ability to prevent and combat fraud. As cyber attacks become more prevalent and the fees associated with card-not-present fraud undefined, a product that solves both problems can be of tremendous value to businesses and retailers alike.
"The Cardholder has peace of mind: they're going to be more apt to make purchases online or provide that information over the phone or the internet knowing that they have a more secure transaction than giving out their physical plastic," Disque said.
"And I also think that for the industry itself, it brings a great value, because if you look at the amount of fraud and the cost to the industry for fraudulent card transactions, this is a step in the direction of minimizing that risk of a fraudulent transaction ever occurring on a cardholder's account."

One approach to the problem of carbon dioxide buildup in the Earth s atmosphere is to develop novel ways to sequester CO2 before it enters the atmosphere or to accelerate its removal once it has. In order to determine whether this approach was feasible and practical, DOE asked the NRC help foster the identification of such novel concepts. A three-step project was launched to meet that request: a workshop on novel approaches; an evaluation of proposals in response to a DOE solicitation for developing such concepts; and an assessment of the process including lessons learned. The NRC delivered reports on the first two steps in April and September 2003, and this letter report presents the results of the last step of the project. The report presents an assessment of the workshop, the solicitation process, and the NRC role. In addition, recommendations are provided for improving the process for subsequent DOE carbon management initiatives.

Citation: CASTILLO, A., INFANTE, F., BARRERA, J.F., CARTA, L.K., VEGA, F.E. FIRST FIELD REPORT FOR A NEMATODE (TYLENCHIDA: SPHAERULARIOIDEA) ATTACKING THE COFFEE BERRY BORER, HYPOTHENEMU HAMPEI (FERRARI) (COLEOPTERA: SCOLYTIDAE) IN THE AMERICAS. JOURNAL OF INVERTEBRATE PATHOLOGY. 2002. Interpretive Summary: The coffee berry borer is the most devastating pest of coffee throughout the world. Eggs are deposited inside coffee berries, and insects feed on the coffee seed, severely reducing yields. A search for natural enemies of the coffee berry borer conducted in Southwest Mexico, resulted in the discovery of a previously unrecorded natural enemy of the coffee berry borer, a new nematode species in the genus Sphaerulariopsis. Since the coffee berry borer is extremely difficult to control chemically, any report of a new natural enemy is significant. This finding is expected to help researchers develop new biological control methods to assist growers in managing this pest, which will ultimately benefit farm workers and consumers.
Technical Abstract: A new nematode species in the genus Sphaerulariopsis was discovered in Mexico. The nematode belongs to a family not previously known to infect the coffee berry borer. It is the first nematode parasite of the coffee berry borer described in the Western Hemisphere and only the second described worldwide. Parasitization by the nematode was found to reduce fecundity and increase mortality of the coffee berry borer.

The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists
Peter Lord brings us the best family film of the year so far.
With Aardman having lit up the festive season with Arthur Christmas, their second release in relatively quick succession comes with Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists. It's a return to their familiar stop-motion clay animation style, harking back to the good old days of Wallace and Gromit.
The story follows a band of pirates, and their proud but bumbling leader, Pirate Captain (Hugh Grant). Seeking to win the elusive Pirate of the Year award, he is fixated on becoming the most successful privateer on the high seas. Raiding a scientific ship led by a young Charles Darwin (David Tennant), adventure ensues with the reluctant biologist in tow.
The familiar Aardman sense of humour is in full effect, with plenty of silly slapstick comedy bringing the laughs, and the sharply written dialogue combines with masterful animation work to make these clay figures as adept at comic expression as their real-life voice artists. There are a number of recurring gags, some of which are a tad over-used (the monkey butler), whilst others are consistently giggle-inducing (The pirates' clever disguises).
Of course, as good as the script is, it is in need of a top-drawer cast to bring it to life. Pirates is stocked full of top British comic talent, with Grant, Tennant, Martin Freeman, and countless others extracting the wit and vibrancy from their characters. Grant is an inspired choice as the captain, with a swaggering, inflated self-confidence reminiscent of a bearded Zap Brannigan, of Futurama fame. Brendan Gleeson and Ashley Jensen also pop up as crew members, taking many of the best lines in the film, and Salma Hayek and Jeremy Piven shine in small roles as rival pirates. Of course, no voice cast would be complete without Brian Blessed, who makes a glorious cameo here as the pirate king.
Like all great family adventures, it is just that – aimed at families, not solely children. There are plenty of subtler moments which adults will enjoy just as much as the younger members of the audience, and with the Easter holidays ahoy, Pirates really does represent a great choice for the whole family.
The minutely detailed sets and characters look superb, with the craft and dedication of the Aardman animators evident in every frame of the film. With all the top-name talent on the posters, it really is the technical personnel who are the stars of the show here. This really is one of those animated films which is simply a joy to look at, with the great visuals constituting much of the charm of Pirates. Even the 3D is well-handled, with the stop motion style translating well, and it is given a couple of moments to stand out, rather than simply adding a layer of depth. Whether or not it's worth paying the extra couple of doubloons is less of a doubt in this case, as the third dimension really does work well here.
With Arthur Christmas a hit, and Pirates looking to continue the studio's impeccable record (let's not forget the excellent Curse of the Were-Rabbit), Aardman are very much at the peak of their powers at the moment. Pirates takes a great cast, brilliant visuals and a fun script and scores big. One or two recurring jokes lose their sheen towards the end, and the final slapstick fight scene may not be to everyone's taste, but Pirates is a truly great family film, with plenty here for parents and kids alike to enjoy.
