I have oily, acneprone skin with large pores. Generally I HATE mineral makeup - I've tried BE, Jane Iredale and EM. They all accentuated my pores, and did nothing for oil control or acne coverage. To my surprise, I'm liking this Pur mineral foundation. It has SOME oil control, doesn't accentuate my pores too much, covers my red spots, and stays on for most of the day. It also looks more natural than other mineral makeups. I have light yellow-toned skin, but I am able to make blush medium work for me. It may be a tad on the pink side, but it looks very natural, like I've been in the sun. Because I am oily, I must use a light dusting of translucent powder on top of this.

This is a wonderful mineral powder. It doesn't feel heavy on my skin or cause my skin to break out (which is really great.) I will say that it does take a minute for the mineral powder to blend in with your skin, but once it does it looks fabulous. This is definitely one of the best foundations I have ever tried.

Like so many of us who frequent this lovely place, I am a product junkie. I love exploring new products, so it's rare for me to actually re-purchase something. Pur Minerals Pressed Powder Foundation is the exception to that (apparent) rule of mine. I'm on my third compact, with another brand new one stashed for when I run out. (Oh yes, ladies, it's that good.)
My skin is relatively clear with the exception of red patches around my nose and on my chin; my T-zone tends toward the dry side. I also have inherited dark circles that are difficult to disguise. This product takes care of all of those things; it really does a great job of evening out the skin tone without leaving a cakey, powder-looking residue.
I use concealer first (under my eyes and a little on my nose and chin), then I dab this on with a cloth puff. (It comes with a round sponge applicator that I didn't find ergonomic at all. It was hard for me to blend the product evenly with it.) I do follow this with a loose powder (Neutrogena's mineral based formula), but that's more for the rest of my face and to provide a smooth canvas for my blush.
Even though I use this in conjunction with other products, it really is the magic ingredient (so to speak) when it comes to evening out my naturally blotchy skin tone.

I have never had much luck with "swirl, tap, buff". It always made my skin look very bad texture-wise, was shiny (like a menopausal sweat) and that's never good. Right now what is working fantastically for me is Stila's new swirled $44 foundation, along with Maybelline's Age Eraser (the one with the quirky spongey thing) and I like them both, I do have to say I adore the Stila swirl. It's summer here at the coast, and the Stila is perfection. Sometimes, I just want a powder foundation for slap on and go. Pur is wonderful. I apply a 30 SPF sunscreen by Aveeno, then either PF or Fusion Beauty's primer, then stroke this gently on my skin, buffing slightly. I can't believe how creamy it is, and it doesn't accentuate pores or my aging skin. I am shocked, and love it for those fast-break days. I use concealer under my eyes only. It also lasts during those long, hot sweaty days. This is a definite keeper for the summer months. I am using golden medium, NW20-25, and I know that sounds freaky but it works-beautifully with no "line" between my face and slightly reddish neck. Another note on the Stila..If you are over the age of 40, slightly oily, slightly dry and would like a finish that is glassy, lightweight, no sparkles and beautiful, I would suggest you try. It won't cover much, but it will definitely make the most of what you have.

I am often searching for a great pressed powder foundation for quick application. I've used Origins, Estee Lauder Double Wear, (both are great quality) and now PUR. I came across PUR minerals after my friend told me about it. Using a Sephora professionals brush (which I think is the key to a great finish) I layered on the foundation powder and it gave me the desired effect, amount of coverage and made me look polished and awake. I didn't need any separate concealer at all and it lasted the whole day. It didn't leave a shiny appearance like BE did, and it didn't "sit" on top of my skin. Instead, my friend told me she couldn't even tell I was wearing any makeup after we stepped outside in the direct sun. Golden Medium is a great match for my olive, tan skin. If you are searching for a new powder foundation to give a try this summer, try PUR..I was amazed and I'm adding this to my makeup bag.

I have been using Pur Minerals for about 9 years!!! My mom got me hooked on it. This is the best mineral foundation I have ever used!! It is a foundation, powder, concealer and sunscreen all in one. You can either wear it alone or over foundation. I prefer to wear it over my Mac Select Cover Up. It goes on like silk, covers like a dream and never looks cakey. It also controls oil pretty good. They have a great color selection, I wear the light. I always get compliments on my skin when I wear this. I have oily, acne prone skin and this has never broken me out. Definately a product that I could not live without it!!!!!!!!

I rotate on and off between PurMinerals and BareMinerals mineral makeup brands; I prefer PurMinerals "on the go" because of the compact format (the loose powder of BareMinerals is somewhat cumbersome if you need to re-apply on the go). I also enjoy the included sponge and mirror (on the underside of the compact), for those "on the go" occasions. I use the Dior powder foundation brush to apply PurMinerals (the brush that comes in the kit is garbage) and it goes on very smoothly and evenly. I find a compact lasts me for around 2-3 months, and the colours/tones match my skin tone very well. The product is lightweight, provides excellent coverage, and is comparably priced to BareMinerals. I'll be repurchasing another compact now that we are getting into the summer months and I will be slightly darker in complexion.

I have sensitive, combination-to-oily, acne prone skin. So finding a foundation that either doesn't irritate my skin or cause my skin to become broken out is often a very big task for me. I have tried many mineral and non mineral foundations over the years. Creams and liquids provide the most coverage. However, they most always break me out. Which is why, I normally shy away from using liquids or cream foundations on my face anymore.
Most mineral foundations do come in loose form. This can be on the messy side to use. Which is why, I was drawn to seeing how a pressed mineral foundation would work for me instead.
I own both the original 4-in-1 foundation and the new 4-in-1 version (in Golden Medium) as well. Pur Minerals recommends that their chisel brush be used for applying the foundations with. However, their chisel brush sheds every time I use it. And, it is scratchy as well.
On days that I feel like tolerating using their chisel brush (which is so few and far between), I do so. On most other days, I will use a makeup sponge to apply to apply it instead or my blender brush that I purchased from CVS. As, I find such application methods to work better for me.
Neither the original or the newer 4-in-1 pressed powder foundation are good at providing all day oil control. Before noon, I get oil breakthru. with this powder (whether I wear a finishing powder over it or not). And, as a result, I do have to re-powder my face.
The original 4-in-1 pressed foundation doesn't have any skincare actives in it. Also, its packaging is different from the new 4-in-1 foundation as well. Pur's orginal 4-in-1 pressed powder foundation comes in a silver metal compact w/a clear plastic see thru top. In the top part of the compact, the actual powder foundation is housed there. in the bottom part, you will find a sponge that included. And, the sponge is located on top of the mirror is included within the bottom half as well.
After you have used the product for a while, the actual powder does start to crumble up miserably. This has happened to me over and over again. I don't know why this keeps hapening with each compact. And, because of such, I am unable to use up all of the powder that comes within the compact. I have never had this to happen with any other powder foundation except Pur Minerals' ones. That to me is a waste of some of my $$$!
I own the shade Golden Medium in both the original and the newest version that Pur Mineras recently released. The original version is a bit lighter in shade. While the Golden Medium shade in the newer version is a bit darker instead. Also, the original version doesn't have any smell to it. While, the newer version does have a slight smell to it that I did notice upon opening up the compact and a bit upon applicationas well. However, the smell does doesn't become noticeable anymore after you've applied it to your face.
The new 4-in-1 pressed foundation comes in silver-metallic compact with little round grey dots all over the top. It has a bit more weight to it than the original packaging. However, it does not come with a sponge. With it, you have the option of using their recommended chisel brush, another brush of choice, or simply using sponges instead to apply it with. And, within this foundation, there are such skincare actives included within it such as Retinol, Thiotic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, L-Ascorbic Acid, etc.
I have not experienced any irritation with the new version. Also, I am not sure if the added skincare benefits are doing a whole lot for my skin. I do currently use Retin-A which is both for anti-acne and anti-aging purposes. Therefore, I cannot say whether the new formulation is heads over heels better for my skin than the original version.
And, the original 4-in-1 retails for $26. While, the new version retails for $27 instead. Also, unless you are 100% sure of what your color is in this foundation, I would certainly recommend getting color-matched first at a place where product exchanges or returns are accepted.
Originally, I did go on auto-delivery for the original version. But, I later decided to stop such. My main reason for stopping auto-delivery is because I don't think that this powder is truly worth its pricetag. Also,when the weather becomes hot out, this foundation starts to break down and get oily on my face way too fast. And, for me to get total coverage, I always had to use a concealer underneath the foundation for such.

I LOVE THIS FOUNDATION. i have a very uneven skintone and am prone to breakouts. so having flawless looking skin was always my dream. bare minerals gave me no where near the coverage i wanted even when i put a ton on. so i went for a liquid (make up forever) and that was the worst mistake i could have made i got huge red under the skin pimples. my esthetician recommended pur. i have been searching for the perfect foundation and i have found it! this was the first time in YEARS that i have had comments about my skin looking nice! i only have to re apply one during the day. the only problem is i run out quickly! only because i use it so often! buy this product and you will never go back!

I had some disappointing experiences with various expensive mineral foundations so I was quite convinced that I would never buy a mineral powder foundation again. I'm so glad I made an exception to the rule for this one!
It's a pressed mineral foundation so not messy at all. The application is very quick and easy. The result is natural and it doesn't look cakey on me but I have to admit that I do use a primer and a bit of concealer underneath it. I like the fact that this foundation is oil free. My skin does get a bit oily after a couple of hours of wear but since I have a very oily skin type there's probably no foundation in the world that can prevent that from happening. Another pro is that it's not as harmful for the skin as many other foundations. I will definitely repurchase. I think I have finally found a mineral foundation that works for me!

text: Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Point Forward Rockets' Omer Asik fined $5,000 for second flop by Ben Golliver Twitter Email Posted: Fri Mar. 29, 2013 By Ben GolliverThe NBA has fined Rockets center Omer Asik $5,000 for his second violation of the league's anti-flopping policy on Thursday. Asik's first violation came on Dec. 11.Asik is the fifth player to receive a fine under the league's anti-flopping guidelines, which allow one free warning before assessing fines, joining Nets forwards Reggie Evans and Gerald Wallace, Timberwolves guard J.J. Barea and Thunder guard Kevin Martin.Asik's second flop came with a little less than five minutes remaining in the second quarter of a 96-95 win over the Spurs in Houston on Sunday night. Spurs forward/center Tim Duncan tried to create space by clearing Asik off of him using his left arm as the two big men jockeyed for position in the high post. After receiving what appeared to be light contact, Asik flung his head backwards and then stumbled 180 degrees into a spin that nearly took him to the court. Duncan was whistled for the offensive foul and replays showed that Asik's flailing was inconsistent with the minimal level of contact.This flop was similar to one performed by Hawks forward Josh Smith in the league's official video introducing its flopping policy, although the example involved a rebounding situation rather than an establishing of position. During that play, Smith, attempting to grab a defensive rebound, fell quickly to the ground while fighting for a rebound with Celtics forward Paul Pierce after getting pushed in the back."As the highlighted defensive player prepares for a potential rebound, he feels slight contact from his opponent in his back," the narrator explains. "He then falls forward and collapses to the floor in an obvious over-embellishment. The actions of the player in the white uniform are inconsistent with the level of contact on the play and is designed to draw an unearned loose ball foul on his opponent. Again, this flop will be penalized."Asik's first flop also occurred during a remarkably similar exchange with Duncan back in December. Asik battled for rebounding position with Duncan, who was basket-side and about to secure the ball when Asik, reaching over and past him, quickly fell backwards as if he had been elbowed in the head. Duncan was called for a loose ball foul. Replays indicated that Duncan's elbow made minimal contact with Asik underneath his shoulder area and that the head flail was completely unnecessary.All told, 16 players have been warned this season: Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari, Clippers guard Chris Paul, Kings guard Tyreke Evans, Nuggets forward Corey Brewer, Spurs guard Tony Parker, Sixers guard Royal Ivey, Magic center Gustavo Ayon, Asik, Hawks center Zaza Pachulia, Clippers guard Chauncey Billups, Wallace, Rockets forward Patrick Patterson, Evans, Martin, Barea and Cavaliers guard Donald Sloan.Asik will now be subject to further fines if he is deemed to have violated the policy again. The sliding fine scale looks like this.Violation 3: $10,000 fineViolation 4: $15,000 fineViolation 5: $30,000 fineFor a sixth (or any subsequent) violation of the rule, the player will be subject to such discipline as the League determines is reasonable under the circumstances, including an increased fine and/or suspension.Asik, 26, is averaging 10.1 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 1.1 block per game for the Rockets this season. He's on the books for $8.4 million. Video via YouTube user BasketInfos Promoted Stories Comments

The Democrats have asked the Pheu Thai party to accept its four-point proposal if the ruling party really wants to end the political crisis, the Daily News reported.
First, Pheu Thai has to unconditionally accept the rulings of independent bodies — from the Constitution Court to the National Anti-Corruption Commission — both in the past and the future, said Jurin Laksanavisit, a deputy spokesman of the Democrat Party, at a briefing on Saturday at his party's office.
Second, caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra must lead negotiations to find solutions acceptable to all sides and come up win clear reform plans, he said.
Third, Ms Yingluck must not exploit her position as caretaker prime minister to exacerbate the problems such as by arresting scapegoats, aggravating charges against dissents or ignoring warnings, according to the Daily News report.
Lastly, Pheu Thai must adhere to the constitutional monarchy rule.
Asked whether Pheu Thai would accept the proposal, Mr Jurin said the party eventually would, like it always did, although at first it might appear to be against it.
"It's time she (Ms Yingluck) showed leadership and made good on her words about negotiations," Mr Jurin said.

Excellent shots....the time-travel is cool too :-)
Thanks Ed, both for the comment and for pointing out the error with the date (now corrected). I guess I'm looking forward to going back this year too much.I loved your photos earlier in the thread too, but didn't comment partly because I'm lazy (there are so many great photos in this thread - I'd like to praise them all) and partly because I'm jealous of how many different places you've been to.

For a first shot, "Here's why you should consider lightweight backpacking" book, this one is pretty good. It's not too long, about 60 pages, and gives a lot of hints to someone considering going lightweight as to the what where why how and howmuch questions. If you read bpl.com, this is all a review of the very basics, but if you've never thought about why it might be nice to carry something less than a 50 - 70 lb ruck, this is an excellent, and very easy read primer. If you know someone who might be interested in , or ought to be interested in lightweight, then this would be a good starting point.I would give this a 5, but the camera and gps sections need to be revised, and a little beefier section on first aid would be recommended.
Rating: 5 / 5
When I 1st joined BL.com this was the article that convinced me sub 5 was possible. I think that on the home page there should be a link that says read this first. While the original might use some updating, it is a solid first read for newbies to UL backpacking.

Sonali Bendre's sprint to the top
Having bagged various awards during her career in Bollywood, actress Sonali Bendre's excitement knew no bounds when her show - India's Best Draamebaaz - was nominated in the category of Best Non-fiction show.
Walking the Red Carpet with her husband Goldie Behl, Sonali was the happiest to have spotted her friends.
Meeting Feroz Khan (Judge on DID 4) after a long time, Sonali was exchanging pleasantries with him just when India's Best Draamebaaz was announced as the winner in the category.
Hearing the news of her show winning an award, Sonali leaped and jumped from the Red carpet to receive the award for the show.
Getting onto the stage, Sonali was ever-ecstatic to be receiving the award on behalf of the makers of the show.
Seeing Sonali get on to the stage, Ritwik Dhanjani, who was anchoring the award ceremony, was quick to compliment her on how beautiful she looked that night without noticing Goldie Behl accosting her on stage.
Soon as Ritwik noticed that Sonali is in company of her husband, Ritwik seemed embarrassed.
Putting Ritwik's embarrassment at ease, Goldie lapped up telling Ritwik that he knows he has a very pretty wife.
Not missing the opportunity, Ritwik said, "Ma'm you look very pretty and I have been a big fan of yours and have always loved you."
While Sonali smiled at the compliment, Ritwik went red in the cheeks.
Taking away the award with Vivek Oberoi and the kids, Sonali along with the entire troupe of the show was seen celebrating the moment.

marketing is about making connections in a previous blog entry, and this next example does just that.
Viggle is an iOS application that pays users to watch television.The Viggle application is best described as a TV version of Shazam, the popular mobile application that identifies music by listening and relaying back artist, album and song title to the user. So what does Viggle do and how does it work? Well …
- First: As you're sitting down to watch television, open the app and check in to the television program you are tuned into
- Second: To verify that you're actually tuned in to the program you checked in to, Viggle will listen to the audio coming from the television and either confirm or deny your check in
- Third: Set your phone down and forget it. If your program is confirmed (i.e. — if you're actually watching the show you checked in to) you will be awarded points for every minute you watch
- Fourth: These points accumulate over time and can eventually be redeemed for gift cards / offers at Best Buy, Burger King and more
Viggle also connects to your social networks, allowing users to share which television programs they're watching to friends & familyAt this point in time, there are only a few down sides I see to the Viggle model:
- Fraudulent Viewing: Yes, Viggle will verify that you're tuned into the show you checked in to, but are users actually paying attention the entire time or simply leaving their phones next to the television?
- Measurable Results: At some point, Viggle will need a 2.0 version that allows brands to include more engaging and/or measurable actions for users to take in order to back into more concrete performance metrics
Viggle, and other similar products that pop up, could change the way users engage with traditional and digital content moving forward.How will your brand utilize tactics like these in the future?

This mushroom often first appears in the fall season in the Puget Sound Basin and may continue to occur into the spring season. In the Seattle area it is common in the cool, wet winter months, and is sometimes very abundant along the edges of trails and paths and in parks, especially among wood chips or other woody materials. The mushrooms are small and somewhat fragile, with caps up to about 1 1/2 inches across, broadly domed shaped often with a slight depression in the center, when fresh the color is brown to cinnamon brown, with the edge translucent striate, as moisture is lost from the cap surface it fades to craft paper color or whitish. The odor and taste are not distinctive. (Do not eat this mushroom. See below.) The gills are a pale shade of the cap color and moderately spaced, and the spore deposit on white paper is brownish. The stalks are short, up to about 2 inches long, slightly enlarged at the base, thin, and similar in color to the cap. When fresh there is a whitish veil that may leave small patches on the edge of the cap and on the stalk, sometimes a slight ring-like zone can be seen part way down the stalk as well. Tubaria furfuracea is one of several Little Brown Mushrooms that occur in out region among woody debris. The identification of these types of mushrooms is difficult and they are easily confused in the field. Identification requires careful examination with a microscope. None of them should be eaten and certain species such as Galerina marginata contain deadly toxins.
Tubaria furfuracea is part of the Burke Museum's Mushroom of the Month series.

The Man Who Wants to Fix Washington
Mitt Romney thinks the skills he acquired in the cutthroat world of corporate turnarounds will make him a good president.
Nov 26, 2007, Vol. 13, No. 11 • By FRED BARNES
Sculpture by Herman Mejia
Mitt Romney and George W. Bush both graduated from Harvard Business School in 1975. "We did attend one class together," Romney recalls, "but I must admit that we didn't hang out together or do things."
Nor did they become friends. Bush was single and fresh from five years in the Texas Air National Guard. A professor who taught Bush remembers him as a mediocre student who rarely participated in the give-and-take of class discussions. Bush earned an MBA and later wrote that Harvard "gave me the tools and vocabulary of the business world." But these skills didn't become central to his political career, much less his presidency.
Romney had a different Harvard experience. He was married with two kids. "I had passed the young and irresponsible stage," Romney told me. "I had a home and a mortgage. . . . I went at it with a lot of energy. I was also convinced that because I'd not come from one of these famous Eastern schools I'd probably flunk out. And I did a lot better than that." Romney had gone to Brigham Young University in Utah. At Harvard, he finished in the top 5 percent of his class and was named a Baker Scholar, a prestigious academic honor.
Romney took from his Harvard years a way of thinking and making decisions that he has applied relentlessly through two decades as a business executive, three as CEO and savior of the 2002 Winter Olympics, four as governor of Massachusetts, and now for a year as a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. If elected president, Romney intends to apply this approach in Washington.
His presidential style, as a result, would be far different from President Bush's--or any other president's. Romney would be coolly analytical and less political. Bush tends to follow his political instincts and rely on gut feelings in making decisions. A businessman who has dealt with both Romney and Bush, and admires both of them, says Romney "has internalized" what he learned at Harvard--particularly the value of debate and dissent--"but Bush hasn't." It's an important distinction.
Romney is not primarily a politician. He's a successful corporate executive with a second career in politics--a second career similar to Ronald Reagan's. He still slips into business consultant lingo, talking (at least to me) about "the breakthrough insight" and a person's "skill set" and "the selection, motivation, and guidance of people."
And because his résumé is heavy on business and relatively light on politics, the political community, the press, and presidential scholars are dubious of his qualifications for the presidency. Stephen Hess of the Brookings Institution says his "hunch" is that the business sector is "a very bad place" for picking up what's required to be an effective president.
I'm not so sure. Romney is extremely smart, confident as a decision maker, and adept at finding grounds for agreement. His idea of the perfect deal is not when one side wins but when "you find a new alternative that everybody agrees is the right way to go. That doesn't always happen." Not in Washington anyway--Romney understands this. "Business and government are different," he told me.
Unlike everyone else running for president, though, Romney has a new method for solving problems and taking on difficult issues. Sure, it's a process that was developed outside of government, but Romney honed it in the cutthroat world of business consulting and corporate turnarounds, compared to which the fighting in Washington is tame. Do Hillary Clinton or John Edwards or Fred Thompson or John McCain have anything better to offer? All they have are agendas. Romney has one of those, too.
While Romney is conservative, his approach to governing is not ideological. "He's super-pragmatic," says an adviser. "He's an eclectic conservative." And this has alarmed several conservatives who have met with Romney. "He kept saying he's a problem solver," says an economic adviser who believes this would put Romney at a disadvantage in Washington. "He may not be ideological, but Nancy Pelosi certainly will be."
The Romney way is very simple. It consists of attacking a problem or considering an issue or policy through vigorous debate, with dissenting opinions encouraged and outside advice eagerly sought, and relying on as much hard data as possible. At the end of the process, the leader makes a decision that may or may not coincide with the "vision" or "concept" or "framework"--Romney's words--that initiated the discussion in the first place.
Here's how Romney describes the process:

http://www.backpackinglight.com/backpackinglight/forums/gear_lists/af985311db2564c1271fd01a9ec786b5.pdf(Revised 6/14)So, this is my first attempt at ultralight, I've been working on this gear for a couple months. I last bought gear in 1995, bought the lightest I could afford back then and ended up with a base weight somewhere between 25 and 30lbs. I've never really backpacked in the way that most on this forum do - for me it is about fishing so I've always just packed in a few miles with a buddy or three, fished for a day or two and packed back out. Fishing will still be the focus, but I will be adding some proper backpacking trips this year. There is a 40 mile loop planned next month which will be my first real attempt. I'm not small, well over 6 feet and 250 lbs. Sleeping gear is especially important to me, as I've never slept well in the backcountry, hopefully this new gear will solve that. What I am going for is maximum comfort and enjoyment both on the trail and in camp. The list I linked should be what I'm using for a trip this week. Mostly fishing, not much hiking, but it should be a good opportunity to get acquainted with everything. Please feel free to offer comments/suggestions! I have literally no interest in solo hikes so the weight on a few things is split. Also I'll likely ditch the alcohol stove and use the canister setup for this first trip.
Edited by drewjh on 06/14/2012 04:54:38 MDT.
Any feedback/suggestions?
A lot of stuff I can recommend would cost dollars. You would need to revamp a sizable portion of your kit. Pack: 33oz? This is real heavy for the size. I would look at a smaller lighter pack at about 16-20oz or less. I have a Murmur'12 and love it. The GG company also makes the veneralble G4 for larger packs. Look at ZPacks. A stripped Blast or enhanced Zero would do you well at way less than a pound. Just a couple that use a thicker CCF pad for supporting your pack...a good idea. Shelter: 18oz is pretty good for UL use.The DAM64 can be replaced. Use a lighter Neoair or even lighter NightLite. In a Zero(with pad holder,) it will save weight (about 11oz vs 23oz) and double to help support the pack. Also, drop the inflator.Drop the pillow and cover. Just use the compression bag, turned inside, out. Then put day cloths in there. I have "special" long johns and socks I pack with my bag to keep them dry. In very cold weather, I have been forced to use them, but generally, I change for bed. Water and bottles, etc, I cannot say much about. You know your area. Same for first aid. Generally, I do not bring a first aid kit, as such. I do bring two bandaids and duct tape. Anything beyond minor stuff requires leaving the woods. It is 99% between your ears.
Thanks for your comments James, I appreciate it. I am definitely considering a lighter pack, but it would have to be nearly as comfortable as the Vapor Trail. I'm leaning towards the Zpacks Exo, but also considering the 2012 GG Gorilla. I bought the VT cheap so it makes a good placeholder till then. I have a secondhand Kookabay torso length down mat coming and will try combining that with my torso length Nightlight to see if together they can be as comfy as the Warmlite. If not I'll take the weight penalty because I just don't sleep on thinner mats and can barely move in the morning. I'm far too heavy for thin pads plus I'm a very active side sleeper. I have an Exped Synmat UL which is comfy but doesn't work well with my quilt, so it's become loaner gear. And I'm not sold on the Neoair's horizontal tubes. I will probably trim the first aid and repair kits in the end, but just don't have enough trips under my belt to feel comfortable with that at this point.
Edited by drewjh on 06/05/2012 04:12:07 MDT.
Well, don't push it. Push what is comfortable, not what can be dangerous. I am retired and been at it for well over 40 years. I know what works for me. You will need to find out what works for you. Once you are on that slipery slope of light weight, It seems you always are swapping out one piece of gear or another. Smaller volume, even if it means no weight savings directly, will let you get a lighter and smaller pack. Not sure if you need the Gorilla. More of an expedition pack for what I need. I have three neoairs (long story) and do not have any problems with the narrrow tubes. I thought they would be bad when I first got mine, but it worked out well. I picked up a second for the wife. Down to about 20F, they work pretty good. The Nunatuk is full length (about 12-13oz), The Nightlite is a 3/4 length (about 60-65") and about 10oz. Coupled with the Neoair (13oz), either makes good cold weather gear and is flexible for the trip I am taking. I could never get used to a quilt, or, a hammock. I also roll around a lot from an old injury.
I think your list looks pretty good and before buying or cutting anything else I would take it out for a bunch of nights. You are at the point where you have attacked most of the low hanging fruit outside of your Pad.Be careful in reducing your pack to much as you do need some support to carry a bear canister.How do you fit in the Solo Plus Hexamid. I keep looking at those for a shelter but I am worried with my height 6-3ish that I would be too tall.
Thanks James and Greg. Greg, I do fit in the Hexamid. There isn't a lot of head/foot room, but there is enough that it doesn't bother me on first tryout.
List revised, I decided to try an Exo. I also swapped out my Synmat LW for a medium.

Judge rules that lawsuit against Legion of Christ over bequest may proceed
Catholic World News - January 27, 2014
A federal judge has ruled that the family of a deceased Yale University professor may proceed with a lawsuit against the Legion of Christ.
After joining Regnum Christi in 1997, James Boa-Teh Chu, a mechanical engineering professor, reportedly named the Legion of Christ the beneficiary of his annuity because he believed Father Marcial Maciel was a saint, according to the Associated Press.
Judge Patricia Sullivan stated that "the Legion was fostering this image of Father Maciel in Dr. Chu's mind at the same time that it was aware of the facts being uncovered by the Vatican's investigation."

I've been using this for about 2 weeks now and am not really sure if its in my mind or it really works. I used it on my eyebrows where I had sparse areas and that worked in a week...the eyelashes I'm not so sure yet. I have noticed that my eyelashes look good without mascara and just using a curler so maybe it does work. Mine weren't that bad to begin with so I'll have to update on that later. But it does make them healthier thats for sure

I always have to comeback to this product.It works so well. There was one time i used semi permanent individual lashes and i didn't take them off properly with the solution so my real lashes fell off. I found this product at a Rite Aid store so i decided to give it a try. It makes my lashes grow faster and longer.It doesn't make the lashes thicker however. Just grows more and longer.My lashes feel so much healthier.Since i use mascara everyday, my lashes tend to fall off and dry. I use this as a treatment at night and primer before i put anything on my eyes.It makes my lashes not fall off anymore. The trick is that i use either a q-tip or just my finger to get the product on the wand, then i apply it on to my upper and lower lids where the roots of the lashes are.Be careful don't get it into your eyes cuz it will sting very badly.

i've only been using this for about a week, but i'm also starting to see results. my lashes are definitely longer...though i am not so sure they are thicker. but i suppose that's because i've mainly just applied it to my lashes like a regular mascara.
i'll do what one of the reviewer's here said and take a q-tip with some of the product on it and brush it along my lash line...
will update if i see any noticeable results.
overall, really good product...ESPECIALLY for the price.
ps. i've tried revitalash and it worked really well buuut the price gets me. i mean, i'm a college student. i don't have that kinda cash to shell out for pretty lashes!
edit: i just started applying the product to my lash line and im pretty sure there is now a bigger difference in length, thickness, and strength of my lashes. most noticeably, my once bald lower lash line has now sprouted many hairs! hooray.

I've only been using this product for 5 days and I'm already beginning to see results.
I use the growth accelerator on my eyebrows because my brows are thin and sparse in some areas. The gel works! I can tell/see hair growing in the areas which I apply it and the growth rate is pretty amazing. The areas that used to be sparse are now slowly beginning to fill in.. which makes me very happy.
I've also used this on my eyelashes but I'd say this is more effective on the brows than lashes.
Overall, I am very happy with the product and I will definitely purchase it again!

finally, a product that is both cheap & does what it says! i have been applying the lash growth accelerator onto my eyelashes every night for about a week now and i must say, WOWSERS. i didnt think i would notice any results this quickly but i did. i'm a typical asian with stick straight lashes but by using ardell, my top lashes are starting to curl by themselves! for some reason my right eye's bottom lashes are way more notciable than my left eye's .. so i applied some of the ardell stuff there and now my left eye's bottom lashes are so much more noticable. =] i am glad i purchased this product! i ordered online from madame madeline for almost 4 bucks. its a steal. i gotta stack up soon! =] A MUST BUY PRODUCT!

I have been using for over a year now i believe and I think this definitely lengthens my lashes and brows although I don't know if it has made them thicker. A couple more brow hairs grew in also in a sparse area. I should also mention that I add a drop of castor oil and a drop of almond oil to the tube to mix it in and occasionally spray the wand with a little alcohol to keep eveything clean. The only problem is the wand doesn't always reach the bottom stuff but it is bendable so you can bend it once and then use it like an angled brush. I only use at night after cleansing before bed and will continue to use.

I thought i reviewed this, this is wonderful! I've been using it for 2 weeks now, and within a week I noticed a difference. My lashes are more lush and longer. In fact, I had to stop using it on my lower lashes because they were getting too long that I was getting mascara spots. I'm usually skeptcal about products that claim to make things bigger, better, plumper etc. but this really does work. I've started using it on my brows, after i went gunho with the tweezers, and they're actually growing back about double what they normally would. I'll continue using this, really a great product. The only downside is that it stings when I get it in my eye and has a tendency to flake. But I can put up with those minor issues for longer lashes!

Maybe I'm just desperate to convince myself that this product works... but I swear after using it two times, my eyebrows have filled in where they were sparse and my eyelashes have actually grown. I can now feel my eyelashes touching my sunglasses so that I have to move my sunglasses down on my nose a little. It also doesn't seem to take as long to put my mascara on in the morning in order to get that "full lash" look. I'm glad I found this out before spending $150 on Revitalash. this stuff is less than $5! I will definitely repurchase!

The spokeswoman say "further investigation" of the case "will only benefit Mr. Gore."
A massage therapist has alleged Gore made unwanted sexual advances during a massage appointment in October 2006 at a downtown Portland hotel.
According to transcripts of a 2009 interview with detectives, the masseuse claims Gore groped and kissed her, and pinned her down on a bed. In an effort to get him to come to his senses, she says she told Gore he was acting like a "crazed sex poodle."
The National Enquirer first reported the allegations a week ago. A spokeswoman says Gore "unequivocally and emphatically" denies making unwanted sexual advances.

Monoprice 8320 IEM
"I got some of these based on their crazy-good reputation. Even for the $6 I paid I feel ripped off. Worst pair I can remember. What in the world is everyone talking about? These are so gaudy looking, and feel cheaply put together. I could overlook those things if they sounded like everyone says. But they don't. I can't remember disliking the sound quality of an IEM this much. These are just..." --SethDove

" Ok, I caved and bought 2 pair of these when I needed a mini to regular HDMI cable for a new laptop. They are impressive. I like the black color better than the silver too. One thing I quickly figured out is if you reverse them (R<-->L), the cable exits out the top, and you can then loop it over your ears. It seems to fit better this way. By flipping them..." --Neeky

I'd like to leave a legacy that speaks to my determination to see my goals and plan manifest. ~Tamika Morrison
This weeks Exquisite Women feature takes The Black Man Can to sunny Atlanta, GA. Meet Exquisite Woman Tamika Morrison of The "Unagency'. We took sometime to sit down with Tamika and learn more about her and plans for her firm.
TheBlackManCan: Tamika, you are currently the Director of PR + Communications at TWS Marketing Communications (formerly The Write Stylz PR) where you were Founder & President. What led you to found The Write Stylz PR and what led to the name change?
TM: My passion to build a lasting legacy, boldly using my God-given gifts and talents led me to create The Write Stylz PR Firm. As a writer, I enjoy telling the stories of others and I was able to do so in a limited way through writing for magazines and in my corporate career, but it wasn't fulfilling.
I knew the only way to feel the fullness of my gift was to go out and create it myself! And in 2005 we launched. There is great power in the written word, it oftentimes outlives its author and is truly a great contribution to society if used properly. In late 2009 The Write Stylz PR Firm merged with growthspert Marketing and became TWS Marketing Communications.
TheBlackManCan: What is TWS The 'UnAgency' and what is the mission of your company?
TM: TWS 'The UnAgency' is our intentional announcement of changing the game of traditional marketing communications in the way we work, how we are structured and how we choose our talent to add value to international brands.
Because our agency was founded by two media entrepreneurs, there are some components about being entrepreneurs we absolutely love and will keep in our agency, no matter how large we grow. We appreciate flexibility, we appreciate freedom of expression and understand in order to be the most competitive we need to intentionally be representative of those who make up our global society. Our mission is to build a multi-cultural media company able to influence the media at-large with different perspectives and different stories that really make up the truth of our world. We plan to do this in every area we touch – in PR, Marketing, Branding, Radio, Print and Broadcasting.
TheBlackManCan: Can you tell us about the Unique approach that The 'UnAgency' takes?
TM: Our unique approach is in our core values: entrepreneurship, freedom of expression, appreciation for culture and belief that everyone has the ability to add value if given the opportunity. Our mission is to build a multi-cultural media company able to influence the media at-large with different perspectives and different stories that really make up the truth of our world. We plan to do this in every area we touch – in PR, Marketing, Branding, Radio, Print and Broadcasting.
TheBlackManCan: What are some upcoming events that The 'UnAgency' has on its agenda?
TM: Glad you asked! We have so much going on! On May 15th we will have FashionGLAM 2010, which is a partnership with TWS & Chocolate Pink Productions to help raise funds and awareness for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Click here for the full invite.
On June 6th – I'll be representing TWS in a half marathon for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in San Diego. For details and to make a contribution of any amount, please click here.
On June 12th – We're helping All About Me Events Launch 'Hatitude' a celebration of life & health to benefit the Lymphoma Research Foundation .
On June 25th – We're helping The Ken Ford Foundation launch its groundbreaking music and arts program at the Porter Sanford III Performing Arts Center in Decatur with a benefit concert FREE to children 0 – 18. Click here for details.
On June 25th – 26th – Pro Kids Camp will be underway led by former NFL Player, Junior Glymph of the G.L.Y.M.P.H Foundation
We're also launching our first TweetUp in June, so stay tuned for details – as you can see, we're QUITE busy!!! You can stay abreast of what we're doing and what's on our agenda by listening to our weekly media arts & culture radio program, The Greenlight Project by visiting our blog, The UnAgency Approach.
TheBlackManCan: How did you find your passion for Public Relations?
TM: I think Public Relations found me! I started off my career as a freelance writer and poet and through my networking as a writer, I met people who appreciated how I told their story and that's when it hit me that I could become a publicist.
TheBlackManCan: On the "About" page of the website it says "Nothing about me is ordinary! Where I come from and how my career came to be is a tale of determination and the audacity to dream…Big!" Can you give us more insight into this statement?
TM: Absolutely. We all have dreams and imaginations as children – or we should. One of my biggest dreams was to be of importance and at first I really didn't know what that really meant. I was thinking doctor or teacher, but then I saw the movie 'Boomerang' and that's what did it for me. From that point on, I nurtured the desire to be a leader within me and pushed myself every chance I got until it manifested and it continues to manifest in ways I never thought possible.
TheBlackManCan: What is the legacy that you want to leave?
TM: I'd like to leave a legacy that speaks to my determination to see my goals and plan manifest. To push through the odds and allowing nothing to stop me – whether physical, emotional or mental, keep pushing and see those rewards for doing so happen before your very eyes. I want to be a positive role model for what to do and what to become as a woman.
TheBlackManCan: What words of advice do you want to leave with youth?
TM: Never give up and don't settle for less – not in anything. It will be hard to go against the grain and you'll be tempted to give in, and you still might. But be quick to recognize when you've strayed off course and do whatever it takes to get your focus back.
"We as black men must carry and tell the life long story and uplift black women whenever we have opportunity to do so", theblackmancan.org has a firm belief that this holds true. Throughout the world there are exquisite women who are making remarkable contributions to society. We want to take the time to highlight an Exquisite Woman each week. If you know a woman that should be featured please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com In that email please state who you are and why you are nominating this person. Please leave your contact information and the contact information of the individual you are nominating.

Network Security Technology seminar topic presentation
Seminar Papers Pharmacy Presentations technical IEEE ppts topics abstract on Network Security Technology(Seminar Paper Presentations)
Abstract: All input is evil until proven otherwise!"so security technology come into play. With the rapid growth of interest in the Internet, network security has become a major concern to companies throughout the world. The fact that the information and tools needed to penetrate the security of corporate networks are widely available has increased that concern.Because of this increased focus on network security, network administrators often spend more effort protecting their networks than on actual network setup and administration. Tools that probe for system vulnerabilities, such as the Security Administrator Tool for Analyzing Networks (SATAN), and some of the newly available scanning and intrusion detection packages and appliances, assist in these efforts, but these tools only point out areas of weakness and may not provide a means to protect networks from all possible attacks. Thus, as a network administrator, you must constantly try to keep abreast of the large number of security issues confronting you in today's world. This paper describes many of the security issues that arise when connecting a private network. Understand the types of attacks that may be used by hackers to undermine network security.

Shocking four hour delay in Nuclear Exercise
Commenting on the response from the Ministry of Defence to the delays and confusion that emerged in a mock nuclear accident 'Exercise Senator' in 2011, which showed huge delays in responding to the accident in a convoy on the motorway network in central Scotland , Angus Robertson MP , SNP Defence spokesman and Westminster Leader said :
"The answer from the MoD concerning the outcome of Exercise Senator in 2011 has some alarming revelations. We know that the exercise, which simulated a nuclear convoy having an accident on the M74 was a catalogue of errors, communication failures and breakdown in systems which left agencies involved in the exercise in a near shambolic state . Any nuclear incident is the most serious of all – and the report on the way this particular exercise was carried out exposed huge safety concerns in the ability of the MoD to deal with a real nuclear accident in good time and in an organised way. It is just breathtaking
"The MoD had to send a team from the South West of England to deal with this – when they are allegedly prepared for incidents like this at Faslane – and what we now know is that the MoD are happy for a four hour target before that team are even ready to leave Bristol and then travel to the scene of any incident, in the case just south of Glasgow. That means there is a period of four hours written in to reaction time to gather the necessary personnel, assess the severity of any nuclear accident and then head off to the scene. There will be many people who are baffled as to why these weapons of mass destruction are dumped on the Clyde near out biggest city in the first place. They will be horrified to learn that in the event of an accident involving these destructive and immoral weapons – the MoD have built in a four hour delay before they even set-off from the South West of England to Scotland to arrive at the scene .
This exercise has exposed worrying deficiencies in the way a real nuclear incident might be dealt with. Only with a Yes Vote in September next year can we be sure that Scotland is rid of Trident once and for all .

Up until this point, The Bethesda Podcast has been fairly reigned in, with the longest episode featuring the conversational John Carmack. The latest episode changes this trend, bringing out all the stops for an Oblivion 5th Anniversary podcast. Similar to the format of some Irrational Podcasts, the first half of the show is dedicated to the most memorable moments of development as spoken from the mouths of the developers themselves. This gives a ton of insight into the thinking behind some of the most entertaining quests, including the origins of the Dark Brotherhood storyline and how the E3 demo helped shape the game.
The second half of the show is a more standard roundtable discussion featuring our usual host Nick Breckon, Bethesda VP Pete Hines, and executive producer (and more importantly Elder Scrolls creator) Todd Howard. While the creative process is definitely still in the spotlight in this half, the more technical aspects are brought under the microscope as well. Todd and Pete reminsce about the difficulties of developing both a console game and a game for a console that hadn't yet shipped, which helps explain some of the rough edges around an otherwise astounding game.
All in all, this episode of The Bethesda Podcast really justifies its existence. If you have any fond memories of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, this is absolutely worth listening to. Furthermore, if you're anything like me and played long enough to have the soundtrack permanently scorched into your memory, musical interludes invoke some long dormant nostalgia.
We mark the fifth anniversary of Oblivion's release by talking with key members of the team, followed by a roundtable with Todd Howard and Pete Hines.

Please check back soon. We will be adding more blog content over the coming weeks.
Do you know the key decision-makers in your school district? If you had three minutes to talk with one of them, how would you tell the Safe Routes to School story so that it was clear, coherent, compelling and crisp?
The Florida Safe Routes to School program is lucky to have Sarita Taylor. While she may be new to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Safety Office in Tallahassee, she is not new to Safe Routes to School. She brings an impressive history from FDOT District 1.
In January of 2012, Tennessee announced Safe Routes to School funding totaling $1.6 for ten municipalities in Tennessee. The majority of the funds will be used for schools to improve sidewalks, crosswalks and signs. Many of the grant recipients will install flashing beacons and traffic control devices to allow for a safe environment around the schools. Funds will be used to provide educational programs focused on bicycle and pedestrian safety and promotional activities to encourage walking and bicycling as a safe and healthy alternative.
Montana Safe Routes to School continues to improve safety and healthy options for children across Montana. In March of 2012, Montana Safe Routes to School announced $928,406 in Safe Routes to School awards for state fiscal year 2013, which began July 1, 2012. Six communities were awarded infrastructure funding for projects ranging from $14,000 for signing and crossing improvements to $114,386 for a pathway in eastern Montana.
By now, you've likely heard that the new transportation bill, MAP-21, consolidated bicycling and walking programs into a new program called Transportation Alternatives, and that overall funding was cut by approximately 30 percent. However, the details vary quite a bit state by state.
Like many organizations, we at the Safe Routes to School National Partnership like to have data to back up our opinions.
I have been thinking a lot about how we can ensure Safe Routes to School, walking and bicycling can continue to flourish around the country in our new "MAP-21" world without dedicated funding. So I've pulled together a "top 10" list for how Safe Routes to School can survive and thrive.
It may seem Safe Routes to School slows down in the summer because school is out. But, summer often brings movement on Safe Routes to School projects and awards. Every day I have news alerts flooding my inbox about:
My name is Christy Smith and I am the newest advocacy organizer for the Safe Routes to School National Partnership in the State of Tennessee. Prior to coming to the National Partnership I worked as a public health educator where I taught people of all ages and stages of life how to safely walk, ride and drive. I've also worked for the nonprofit organizations The Boys & Girls Clubs and the Y, two agencies that share a passion with the Na
I have written before about how well the state network project is doing. Looking at the first seven months, I am happy to report there has been a real growth spurt as the number of participants increases, as do the contact lists. And the organizers' skills are getting noticed as are the networks activities. Here are some snapshots:
Since the passage of the new federal Transportation bill (MAP-21) on July 6, I have heard "Oh, isn't Safe Routes to School dead?"
The answer is a resounding NO!
NOTE: An update on the outcome of this vote follows the original post.
I realize you might think I am being a bit premature with this declaration, but I am not talking about the November elections. I am referring to a critical vote—a referendum—in Georgia that will influence the direction of transportation funding in the coming years.
On May 17, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) approved the One Bay Area Grant program to provide $800 million more than four years to cities and counties for transportation projects.
Physical activity has been central in my life since I learned to run and ride a bike as a kid. Though my career military parents moved my family often, they always prioritized living near a neighborhood school so that my sisters and I could walk or bicycle. I relished the freedom and responsibility of walking and especially bicycling to school, and still treasure those memories.
Change is inevitable, it is said. It is how we choose to adapt to this change that is central in the New York Times bestseller "Who Moved My Cheese?" that eloquently describes our instinctual response to change through a parable about two mice and two mini-people whose cheese supply has been moved.
If you can measure it, you can manage it.
I often think of this business mantra each day as I step on the scale, track my calories and log every minute and mile of physical activity as I pursue a healthier lifestyle. (And apologies to my Facebook friends who are tiring of my new found apps and the postings to cheer me on!)
What's New New?
This month has been a tough one for Safe Routes to School supporters. We lost our dedicated federal program funds in the new transportation bill (MAP-21), and overall federal funds for bicycling and walking in general were reduced by 30 percent compared to the previous transportation bill (SAFETEA-LU).
Answering this is easy. The Safe Routes to School National Partnership works to make changes to the built environment so that generations of children can bicycle and walk to school. Not only is it a great way to improve children's lives, but it reminds adults about the simple joys of walking and bicycling with their family, friends and neighbors.
