Cleaning Your Kit 101- Keeping it CleanCleaning Your Kit 101- Keeping it Clean
Cleaning your kit is extremely important for makeup artists. When working with different people, it's imperative to make sure your kit is sanitary because you cannot risk spreading germs. Cleaning your kit will also extend the life of your makeup and it will last longer if you take care of it.
Using your kit in a sanitary manner is worth taking that extra step. When using liquid foundations or blushes, pump or pour the product out onto a palette or the back of your hand. When using creams, don't double dip your foundation or eyeliner brushes; use a spatula to transfer it to a palette. This will keep bacteria out of your products, and will make mixing shades a breeze. You should not double dip into cream eyeliners, you can take some product out with a spatula or the back of your brush and put it on your hand and double dip from there. This will make your cream eyeliner last until it dries out, and will keep bacteria at bay. Powders are fine to double dip with because bacteria doesn't grow on dry surfaces. Eye liners and lip liners should be sharpened in between each use to prevent spreading infections. When using mascaras, use disposable mascara wands. If you plan on giving your mascara to the client, you can use it straight from the tube. Lipsticks can be used straight from the tube as long as you clean it between each client with alcohol. An easier way to work with lipstick is to scrape some off onto the back of your hand and double dip from there, if you need to. Squeeze tube lip glosses are the easiest for sanitary use because you can just squeeze some out onto the back of your hand. If you prefer certain shades of lip gloss that have a wand, use the wand to apply the amount of product on the back of your hand or palette, and just use a lip brush to apply it.
With all of that said, here's how to actually clean your kit. I like to do this once a month for peace of mind. I clean powders just as a precaution because I'm neurotic and sanitary. Fill up a small spray bottle with 71% alcohol and just spray your powders from a distance. You don't want to drown them in alcohol; you just want the surface to be lightly sprayed. Don't worry about the powders staying wet, the alcohol dries out; just give it a few minutes to dry up. I do this with powder foundations, eyeshadows, and blushes. For creams, I recommend spraying the surface with alcohol to kill the bacteria, and then use a tissue to wipe off the surface layer of any dirt or brush hairs. I do this to cream foundations, concealers, cream eyeshadows, and cream eyeliners. Anything using a pump will be sanitary because product is only coming out and not going in. Sharpen all of your pencils to remove any bacteria. Mark your mascaras with the date that they were opened so than you can throw them out after around 3-6 months. If you keep your mascaras clean, they will last longer. Dip your lipsticks in alcohol and use a tissue to wipe off the surface layer.
RECENT COMMENT "Also, just because your hands are clean - you still have surface bacteria on your skin. ..."
I Recently Attended a MUAH PartyI Recently Attended a MUAH Party
I recently attended a MUAH party at bloggy friend of mines home. What is a MUAH party you asked?MUAH stands for Make Up At Home. It is a party that e.l.f. Cosmetics and SheSpeaks have been running with bloggers so that their friends can learn more about e.l.f. products as well as educate themselves about proper makeup techniques.
I already LOVE e.l.f. products. I was sold on my first try with some lip gloss I had received. But I learned a TON at this party, and had a lot of fun too.
What did I learn? Did you know that PINK is NOT the color for me for my lips? I couldn't believe it! For years I have been wearing the same color pink lipstick and NO ONE told me it was the WRONG color for me. Thank goodness for my friends who are not afraid to tell me the truth. But now I am wondering what else I am doing wrong?! At the MUAH party, I tried (hesitantly tried) a brownish cocoa color lipstick. I am very pale and I thought to myself, this is gonna look horrible, like I ate a Hershey bar and it melted all over my mouth. But It was great! It really made my lips pop! Also, I learned that I shouldn't be afraid to "explore" more when it comes to my make-up. There was a bright dazzling green creamy eye shadow there that I loved, but I would never think to even try or buy it. At the suggestion of my friend Kim (@craftymamaof4), I tried this green creamy eyeshadow and low and behold, IT ROCKED! I was so pleased and everyone was giving me compliments on how much it too made my eyes pop!
By the end of the night, I was a makeup warrior. Trying all kinds of new things. Now I love e.l.f.make- up even more and will definitely be doing some more "exploring" with colors.
The only downfall to the whole party was after we were all dolled up with makeup we had no where to go show it off!! Although, it DID make me feel good when I came home and my daughter said, "Mommy, you look like a beautiful princess" and my hubby said, "you have make up on". Well, At least he noticed! lol
Want to expose your friends to e.l.f cosmetics? Try hosting a MUAH party? Simply sign up at Shespeaks.com and make them aware of your desire to host a party.
Thanks e.l.f.

In the fourth in our series of Big Questions, we invited six writers to make the case for the language they thought most worth learning. The Economist's Robert Lane Greene introduces the series. He's well qualified to do so. Our editor asked him how many languages he spoke. "Six," he said, "and I'm conversant with another three." As he points out, if you've read this far, you already know the most useful global language. If you were to learn one other, he recommends French.
Over the next couple of weeks we will be publishing online the arguments made by the other five contributors. But voting starts now. Perhaps you will agree with Daniel Franklin, The Economist's executive and business editor, that after English, Spanish is the most-used international language, or with Simon Long, The Economist's Banyan columnist, that learning Chinese makes the best economic and political sense. Or maybe you will be persuaded by Josie Delap, who is Middle East and Africa editor for The Economist online, of the beauties of Arabic. Helen Joyce, the magazine's São Paulo correspondent, argues that Brazilian Portuguese is the one rational choice and our own editor, Tim de Lisle, says Latin should win out because it has been indirectly useful every day of his career.
Have your say by voting in the poll below. Or if you think there's a case to be made for Urdu, Danish, Swahili, Italian, Russian or any of the other 6,900 languages in the world, please tell us why.
Update: this poll is now closed. For the results, see The Best Language Surprise.

Zithro-mush-A A +A
Serendipity Couch
Wednesday, August 6, 2014
NURSING a combination of acute laryngitis and acute bronchitis is no joke.
After having gone through episodes of hyperventilation, severe coughing, fever and chills, I finally decided to see a pulmonologist, who gave an official identity to my condition, and prescribed an antibiotic for it.
Zithromax, the prescribed antibiotic, proved effective for my bronchitis, but also gave me more discomfort than my illness. I had no choice but to stay in bed most of the time, with a stomachache that rivals that of amoebiasis-induced pain and suffering (no exaggeration there).
But since a tummy ache is not as bad for me as migraine and nausea, I took advantage of that time to catch up on my reading, and before my laryngitis-bronchitis episode is over, I have started my third read in a week.
Somehow that made me feel a lot better.
After enjoying Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Ransom Riggs, 2011), a novel that reminds me of the X-Men in a more charming, romantic, enchanting setting, and thereafter Love Letters to the Dead (Ava Dellaira, 2014), yet another entertaining read where the protagonist in teenage-angst mode writes letters and shares her coming-of-age experiences to famous dead people like Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, Heath Ledger and Amelia Earhart, among others, I moved on to Landline (Rainbow Rowell, 2014).
I have been a Rainbow Rowell fan since Eleanor and Park (2013), as she writes about people's experiences, emotions and reactions in a way that will leave you sighing, thinking, and sighing more.
Landline is her first "adult" novel, whose synopsis is outright riveting: Georgie, a comedy writer caught between her flourishing career and her family, is aware that her marriage to Neal is in trouble, especially so when she had to stay behind on a Christmas vacation due to her demanding job as Neal and the kids went home to his hometown of Omaha.
As it was her first time to be alone, she opted to stay at her family home with her mom, stepdad and sister, and there discovered an old telephone set (hence the title) which allowed her to call the "old" Neal - fifteen years earlier - before he proposed to her.
It presented a chance for her - more like a conflict - to either encourage him to pursue her, or discourage him from ever proposing to her.
In the course of their long conversations over this "magic" landline, Georgie was given an opportunity to reminisce their past, and realize what made her fall in love with him in the first place.
The novel is surprisingly both entertaining and poignant.
For working mothers like me, who undergo episodes of guilt at least once a day for seemingly not having enough time for family, the novel hit home. The situations, issues, conflicts in the novel are all too familiar for "normal" couples who experience ebbs and flows in the course of their relationships especially so after being together for a number of years.
Some parts of the story give the reader (who can relate) a roller-coaster ride of emotions: giddiness, pain, anxiety, doubt, relief, among others.
Landline has probably struck that chord with me as I celebrate sixteen years of couplehood with my life partner.
It is never easy, what with personalities that clash, beliefs that do not always seem to be in sync, opinions that do not often jibe.
There are times when we just simply have to leave each other alone for some time because to argue will be so frustrating and exhausting. But at the end of the day, looking at what we have and all we've been through all these years, and most especially at being blessed with our kids and our family - we know that we belong together.
There is one touching scene in the novel when Georgie asks Neal, "What if love is not enough?"
"We will make our own enough."
I think Pfizer forgot to indicate another Zithromax side effect: mushiness.

As a larger and larger portion of retail sales in the U.S. move online, customer service has become essential to e-commerce businesses that want to attract shoppers and keep them. E-commerce has also become critical to the profits of brick-and-mortar operations like Walmart and Best Buy. Research firm Comscore reports that from the start of November through December 21, e-commerce sales reached $38.7 billion - up 16% from the same period in 2011. Very few retailers can ignore the growth in online shopping and the need for the e-commerce customer to believe he or she is being treated well.
Research company ForeSee recently released its "E-Retail Satisfaction Index (U.S. Holiday Edition)," which is based on more than 24,000 customer surveys conducted between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The companies covered by the study are 100 of the largest online retailers based on revenue. On a 100-point scale, the average retailer in the survey scored a 78. The benchmark against which all other e-tailers should be measured is Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), which also happens to be the largest e-commerce company in the world. ForeSee reports that Amazon's 88 rating this year is "the highest score ever attained by any retailer measured in the holiday Index since 2005." It is not clear whether Amazon is large because its customer service is so excellent, or whether its customer service is excellent because it is so large.
Some of the retailers included in the study have sales presences outside the internet - unlike Amazon. A number have brick-and-mortar or catalogue businesses, so online sales are only a portion of their total revenue. And, for some large retailers, their online sales efforts are still in the infancy. As measured by Comscore, Walmart (NYSE: WMT) has the second most visited e-commerce site in America - after Amazon. But online sales are only 2% of Walmart's U.S. revenue. Online revenue may be important to the future of large retailers, but e-commerce results are not crucial now. L.L.Bean ranks second on the Foresee satisfaction list, but it has physical stores in ten states. Crate & Barrel is very near the bottom of the Foresee ratings, and it has over 100 stores. Online-only retailers obviously have more riding on online customer service than retailers that operate stores or catalogues.
One final observation worth making is that the number of visitors an e-commerce site has does not appear to be related to its customer service rating. Companies appear to hold their own fates based on their retail practices and not their visitor count. Amazon.com is among the top sites for customer satisfaction, with 119.8 million unique visitor last month. 1800Contacts.com is also among the top-rated sites and had only 489,000 unique visitors.
24/7 Wall St. began its analysis with ForeSee's ranking which are based on grades for content , website functionality , price ,and merchandise We added the number of visitors to each website based on research firm Compete's data, and then provided analysis about what each company sells online, and how e-commerce is related to the balance of its operations.

The Hamilton County Public Health "Clean Kitchen Award" recognizes the best-of-the-best in maintaining safe food service operations.
"We started the Clean Kitchen Award to recognize food service facilities in the County that are exemplary in maintaining clean, well-cared-for and ultimately, safe environments for serving food," said Greg Kesterman, assistant Hamilton County Health commissioner. "Since we began issuing the award in 2011, it has really become popular with the county's food service operations and we are seeing applications increase nearly every month."
To be considered, facilities must:
? have fewer than three violations in the previous two years prior to applying;
? have no "critical" or repeat violations in the previous two years;
? maintain at least two staff members with Level I Food Handler certification or at least one staff member with a current ServSafe certificate;
? submit applications along with corresponding documentation;
? have a minimum of two years of inspection data on file with Hamilton County Public Health.
"The award is a real honor for our operators," Kesterman said. "It's not easy to receive one of these awards and our winners are diligent in maintaining sanitary operations. If you are out and about and find one of our awards displayed in a restaurant or other food service facility, you can be sure that these operators take sanitation very seriously," he added.
Inspection data for all food service facilities and listings for all Clean Kitchen Award winners are available on the Hamilton County Public Health website at www.HCPH.org. The Clean Kitchen Award reflects inspection data from the previous two years and is not necessarily indicative of current conditions.
Northeast Suburban Life-area winning operators for the first quarter of 2013:
? Lake Isabella Boat House, 10174 Loveland-Madeira Road, Symmes Township

Labour must back SNP shovel ready calls
Labour are coming under increasing pressure to support the SNP's calls for Capital Spending investment from Westminster to assist Scotland's economic recovery from the UK coalition government's austerity politics.
Today's Daily Record editorial column states:
"Alex Salmond is right to call for a £400million cash advance to get his list of 'shovel ready' projects off the ground. And it's why Labour should back him"
Mark McDonald, SNP MSP for North East Scotland, has written to Richard Baker - Labour in Scotland's Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure and Capital Investment - urging him to back First Minister Alex Salmond's calls for shovel ready cash to help move Scotland forward.
Mr McDonald, a member of the Finance Committee, said:
"The interests of the people of Scotland would be best served if Labour backed the SNP's calls for a cash advance for the shovel ready projects.
"I have written to Mr Baker urging him and his Labour colleagues to help build an unparalleled level of pressure to force the Tory-Lib coalition into another U-turn on their lack of capital spending in Scotland.
"I'm sure this is what grassroots Labour supporters want – their politicians standing up for Scotland and taking a stand against the Tories. I hope that Labour politicians see sense and back our calls for funding for these important projects now.
"We have had several U-turns from the Chancellor since his budget; to call for another is both totally reasonable and entirely possible.
"Although in terms of employment Scotland is outperforming the rest of the UK, it is clear that more direct action from the UK Government is needed in the form of funding for the shovel ready projects.
"The case is that properly targeted and shovel ready projects – with £400million for Scotland – could make a profound difference to the construction industry immediately at this particular time and tackle the problems in Scotland inflicted by UK Government at the present moment."

NEW YORK (AP) - NFL teams went with bulk in the first round of the draft. The first seven picks were linemen. No running back was taken in the first round, the first time that's happened in 40 years. And no quarterback was taken until the 16th pick.
The Kansas City Chiefs chose Eric Fisher, an offensive tackle out of Central Michigan, with the No. 1 overall pick. He's just the third offensive tackle chosen No. 1 overall since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. Fisher called it a "dream come true" to play for the Chiefs, who are looking to rebuild under new coach Andy Reid, the former coach of the Eagles. Fisher became the first player from the Mid-American Conference taken at No. 1.
The Jacksonville Jaguars took 6-foot-6, 306-pound Luke Joeckel an offensive tackle from Texas A&M, with the second pick. The Jags are coming off a 2-14 season and also have a new coach in Gus Bradley.
The Oakland Raiders, who've gone 10 straight seasons without a winning record and lost eight of their last nine games last year, traded the rights to the third pick to Miami for two draft picks. The Dolphins chose Oregon's 6-foor-6 linebacker Dion Jordan, who said he was surprised to be taken so highly. The Raiders ended up taking Houston cornerback D.J. Hayden with the Dolphins' pick at No. 12.
The Philadelphia Eagles, who have a new coach in Chip Kelly following their 4-12 season, chose offensive tackle Lane Johnson out of Oklahoma. He's 6-6, 303 pounds, but has quickness for a man his size.
The Detroit Lions, who lost their final eight games last season, took BYU defensive end Ziggy Ansah with the fifth pick. Ansah, a native of Ghana who first tried out for the BYU basketball team before starting his football career, moved way up the draft board during the NFL combine in the spring.
Cleveland took LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo with the sixth pick. The 6-foot-4, 241-pound Mingo played defensive end in college, but will likely be used as an outside pass rusher by the Browns, who are going with a 3-4 defense.
At No. 7, the Arizona Cardinals selected North Carolina guard Jonathan Cooper to bolster one of the NFL's worst offenses during their 5-11 season that began with a 4-0 start.
St. Louis traded up to get the eighth pick from Buffalo. The Rams took 5-foot-8, 174-pound wide receiver Tavon Austin, a speed merchant who turned in a 40-yard dash time in 4.3 seconds, who is expected to become one of quarterback Sam Bradford's favorite targets.
The New York Jets took Alabama cornerback Dee Milliner with the ninth pick. He's expected to help fill the void left when the Jets traded Darrelle Revis to Tampa Bay.
Rounding out the top 10 picks, the Tennessee Titans drafted Chance Warmack, a guard out of Alabama. He was a unanimous All-America off the Crimson Tide national championship team.
The first quarterback taken was Florida State's E.J. Manuel by Buffalo at No. 16. With Ryan Fitzpatrick out, Manuel has a chance to be a rookie starting QB this season.
West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith was expected to go in the first round this year. But the strong-armed, erratic thrower will still on the board when the second round starts Friday. He's the all-time passing leader with 11,662 career yards at WVU.
The Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens concluded the first round by taking Matt Elam, a safety out of Florida. He is expected to fill the void left when veteran All-Pro Ed Reed signed with Houston in the offseason, and Bernard Pollard was cut after the Ravens won it all.

You can use the AutoExec and AutoOpen macros in Word to establish default paths, styles, links, environment conditions, and so on at the time Word opens a new document or opens an existing document. This article discusses how these macros work and how they behave in various situations.
AutoExecAn AutoExec macro runs when Word starts if the AutoExec macro is saved as part of the default (Normal.dot) template, or if it is saved as part of a global add-in. By using an AutoExec macro, you can make adjustments when Word starts but before a document is created or loaded. For example, you can use an AutoExec macro to change the default directory when Word starts.
You can suppress the AutoExec macro in several ways. One way is to start Word from the command line by using either the /m or the /embedding switch. To use these switches, click Start, click Run, type either winword /m or winword /embedding, and then click OK.
Another method you may use to suppress an AutoExec macro is to press the Shift key while Word starts. AutoExec macros are also suppressed when Word is started from an Automation client.
AutoOpenThe AutoOpen macro runs after you open a new document. AutoOpen runs when you open a document in the following ways:
You may prevent an AutoOpen macro from running by holding down the Shift key when you open a document.

Suddenly the sun pops out. Branson clambers back up onto the wing and runs through his paces again for the boom-rigged camera: crossed-arm stance, million-mile gaze across the desert, then a quick turn as the lens swoops in for a close-up, with a tease of that famous toothy grin and a glint of sky-blue eyes. Take that, Donald Trump! The rest of the cast hustles out onto the wing, the camera whirs again, and it's a wrap. To celebrate, Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson, 54-year-old lord of a $9 billion-a-year global empire, joins his happy TV troupe in mooning the crew. Everyone cracks up.
Branson has been mugging and grinning, diving and rappelling, ballooning and mooning his way to extreme mogulhood for nearly 40 years. (He started his first business, a magazine, while still in boarding school.) In that time, his Virgin Group has expanded from a funky record business into a sprawling keiretsu encompassing air travel, cell phones, train travel, soft drinks, African safaris, digital downloads, and Caribbean hideaways. Branson's own Virgin Island - no kidding - is available starting at $25,000 a day. All of which adds up to a personal fortune pegged by Forbes at $2.2 billion.
Despite such a dazzling career, the business world has always been ambivalent toward Britain's best-known entrepreneur. He launches trendy companies the way Trump builds casinos. But a farsighted innovator like Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos or even Southwest Airlines' Herb Kelleher he is not. Branson traffics in opportunism. He spots a stodgy, old-line industry, rolls out the Virgin logo, sprinkles some camera-catching glitter, and poof - another moneymaker. While that formula has kept him in champagne and headlines, no Virgin business has ever changed the world.
Until now. Mojave Airport isn't just where aging jets wait to die; it's where the dusty dream of commercial space travel is finally coming alive. Last summer, a tiny winged wonder called SpaceShipOne spiked 62 miles into the desert sky on its way to nailing the $10 million X Prize for the first sustainable civilian suborbital flight. The world's stuffed-shirt airline chiefs took one look and went back to worrying about fuel prices. Branson took one look at the gleaming white carbon-fiber spaceship and said, Beam me up.
The upshot is Virgin Galactic, the world's first off-the-planet private airline. Under a deal still being negotiated with SpaceShipOne's owners - Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen and legendary Mojave airplane designer Burt Rutan - Virgin will pay up to $21.5 million for an exclusive license to SpaceShipOne's core design and technologies. Another $50 million will go to Rutan's company Scaled Composites to build five tricked-out passenger spaceships. An equal amount will be invested in operations, including a posh Virgin Earth Base somewhere in the California desert. Total outlay: $121.5 million. Business plan: 50 passengers a month, paying $200,000 each. Core product: a two-hour flight to an apex beyond Earth's atmosphere, wrapped in a three-day astronaut experience. Lift off: T-minus three years.
Of course, Virgin Galactic is a tiny bit riskier than the typical Branson venture. For starters, the first passenger-carrying Virgin spaceship - already dubbed VSS Enterprise - is still just a glow on Rutan's computer screen. No one knows how big the market for seats into space might be. And what happens to the business model when a ship full of amateur astronauts fails to make it back to Mojave in one piece?
But look at the upside. The total price tag is half the cost of a single Airbus A340-600 - and Virgin Atlantic ordered 26 of those last summer. In return, Branson gets bragging rights to one of the cooler breakthroughs of the early 21st century, with rocket-powered marketing opportunities that could fuel excitement - and sales - in his entire 200-company holding group.
For the happy-go-lucky tycoon, though, there's something else at stake: Virgin Galactic is his chance to climb off that 747's wing and into the history books with the first airline - make that the first brand - on the final frontier. "Affordable private space travel opens a new era in human history," he tells reporters at a mini press event for the reality show in LA. "We'll go into orbit; we'll go to the moon. This is a business that has no limits."
Virgin Galactic isn't just about seizing first-mover advantage in space - it's about opening space to a wave of other entrepreneurs who will follow if Branson succeeds. Commercial spaceships will lead the way for private investment in what has been a government-funded vacuum, bringing a new physics of market forces to outer space. If Branson and his Virginauts can attract even a quarter of the customers they believe are out there, they'll rally today's alt.space backwater of wild dreamers, cranky engineers, and rich geeks to launch an era of glittery, out-of-this-world-class new businesses. "If we can make space fun," Branson says, "the rest will follow."
So today Branson is a billionaire with a mission. Forget low-cost satellite launches and zero-gravity platforms for growing crystals. Here comes caviar, designer space suits, and charter membership in the 62-Mile-High Club. The right stuff for everyman - or, at least, anybody with four and a half times the median annual US salary to burn on a three-day weekend.
Hangar 78, part of Scaled Composites' jumble of buildings at the edge of Mojave Airport, is as clean and well lit as a hospital nursery. Some of Rutan's babies crowd the broad floor; others hang upside down from the ceiling. The muttonchopped proprietor is away on what is described variously as a confidential business trip and a post X Prize extended golf vacation. But Branson is dropping by anyway. He's due back in LA in 90 minutes - Entertainment Tonight wants the rebel billionaire - but the cameras will have to wait. He's not leaving Mojave without a quick peek at his newest love.

JamBase Features, Newswire & Reviews
Umphrey's McGee | Red Rocks PreviewBrendan Bayliss talks about returning to the fabled Colorado venue on Sunday and the state of Umph today.
stellar interview. Kudos to you sir.
Yes! Great interview! Thank's for that little treat :)
...also very happy to see that comments were permitted for this article, thank you JamBase, I still appreciate what you do.
I like what you are doing with the comments jambase - good selection choices so far. huge improvement.
for the interview, i gotta say, bayliss really isn't giving umph great media attention. this interview makes it seem like umphrey's is a job, and while better than most, doesn't seem like he's the happiest person in the world. he kind of bad mouths his own band - nice change of pace haha - but this interview didn't really get me excited to go see umph.
great interview though jambase, your end was completed very professionally and thoroughly.
Can't wait to see that big juicy pile of yes's at the rocks.
stashumhere, It is a job,especially if you are trying to be creative every night on stage instead of playing the same old same old. I don't believe there was any negativity in his response. In fact,he seemed happy to be able to say he is an artist who can make a living doing what he and the rest of the band love. It is tough to be in the music industry today. The economy, Internet, and Ticketmaster are destroying the business in my opinion with inflated ticket prices and digital music sales compared to the days of going to the record store.
Anyway, good read Jambase and I'm excited for the shows this weekend! Happy 4'th!
Best band ever.
great article! cant wait to see em shred the latenight slot at allgood!
So why can't UM do it better than any of these other bands can't? If they would, they could. If they should, they dould. Widespread Panic hold it down better with flind folds and thongs on it.
No that's the HHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT!!!!
see lance, your comment is why jambase has disabled the article comment section! Widespread has nothing to do with this article and your just in here trolling.
I love UM and i can see how bayliss views it as a job, because it is! imagine going state to state playing shows and not even have time to relax and party because you've got to be 6 hours away in 7 hours! Overall though, great interview and im excited for the new studio album although they're never has good as the live ones.

March 21–July 5, 2010
This exhibition is no longer on view at the National Gallery. Please follow the links below for related online resources or visit our current exhibitions schedule.
In the first exhibition devoted to Dutch landscape artist Hendrick Avercamp (1585–1634), scenes of skating, sleigh rides, and outdoor games on frozen canals and waterways bring to life the lively pastimes and day-to-day bustle of the Golden Age. Displayed in the intimate Dutch Cabinet Galleries, some 14 paintings and 16 drawings capture the harsh winters of the period and the activities they made possible. Avercamp—the first artist to specialize in painting winter landscapes that feature people enjoying themselves on the ice—made the "ice scene" a genre in its own right. Within these winter scenes is a social narrative as well: unencumbered by status, all classes formed one community on the ice. Avercamp was also an outstanding draftsman who made individual figure studies that he utilized not only in his painted work but also in compositional drawings.
Organization: Organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

Recollections of a communicator: Nation looks forward to new incarnation of Planning Commission
The fact that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a long discussion with eminent economists and intellectuals earlier this week, gives an indication that the present government does not want a white elephant in the shape of the Planning Commission, but would like to substitute it with an organization which would essentially be performing the broad objectives of 'planning'.
The new organization will have new blood and would be designed to give new direction and thought. It would try to strengthen federalism more with creative thinking on public-private partnership, optimum utilization of resources and give direction to state governments, as indicated by the Prime Minister in his Independence Day speech.
In my capacity as a communicator, I have had the opportunity to watch the Planning Commission from the beginning. During my college days, I had read that the first Five-Year-Plan dealt with the period from 1951 to 1956, with an outlay of Rs. 2069 crores, with emphasis on irrigation projects and community development. It was followed by the Second Plan with an outlay of around Rs. 4,800 crores, a figure that looks insignificant now. We were proud that the money was being spent on hydroelectric power projects and building of steel plants. The plants at Bhilai, Durgapur and Rourkela came up during those years and many of my classmates got jobs in those companies.
My first contact with an official of the Planning Commission was in 1958, when I was appointed as the Assistant Editor of the Sainik Samachar. We were producing a special edition of the journal for the Republic Day, and the Editor had given me an article written by Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis, a member of the Commission. It was a 40-page article and had to be reduced to about six pages to fit into the Sainik Samachar. I spent a whole weekend reading and re-reading it and reduced it to around seven pages.
The Editor sent the edited article to P. C. Mahalanobis for approval. The very next day, the Editor told me that Mahalanobis wanted to see the person who had edited it. The Editor asked me to explain to Mr. Mahalanobis that while the article was very good, keeping the requirements of the journal, we had reduced its length and then apologize if he was not happy with the edited version and agree to make the necessary changes.
It was a winter evening in the first week of January that I was asked to see him. His house was adjacent to that of the Chief of Army Staff..
What happened when I met Mahalanobis completely disarmed me. He welcomed me into his study room, asked me to share a cup of tea, and told me that he wanted to see the person who had edited the manuscript sent by him which he called was a rambling piece! He appreciated my effort, saying that it was now a good, compact and readable article. He inquired about my educational background and asked me to keep interest in the subject of economic planning in India.
He told me that in a country like ours where resources were limited, we had to adopt statistical models in planning for the development of the country. He spent nearly an hour telling me what the Planning Commission and the Indian Statistical Institute were doing for the country.
My next contact with the Planning Commission was in the sixties as a reader of the Yojana, which was edited by H.Y Sharada Prasad, who had followed Khushwant Singh . The objective of the journal was to convince the readers of the need for planning in a country like India that had a huge population that lived below the poverty line. Soon after, I was transferred out of Delhi and lost touch with the economic planners of the country. When I returned to Delhi, I saw a Planning Commission that had grown to huge proportions.
It was also becoming a place for transferring heavyweights from the government. Two instances that come to my memory were D. P. Dhar and P. N Haksar, the latter who fell out of favour with Sanjay Gandhi.
In 1985, when I became the Principal Information Officer of the Government of India, it became one of my duties to attend meetings of the Planning Commission whenever the Prime Minister chaired it, particularly to give his approval to Five-Year-Plans, or annual Plans. I also attended the National Development Council meetings.
Broadly the Planning Commission drew up the Five-Year-Plan, a blueprint for economic development based on the resources that the country could mobilise. It was approved by the Prime Minister and later by the National Development Council, in which all the States of the country gave their reaction. The State Plans, which had to be approved by the Planning Commission, could be controversial as the amount of central grant depended on them. Often, State governments have complained that they were treated in a step-motherly manner. The Planning Commission also had a say in approving the policies and programmes of various ministries of the government.
I specially remember a meeting of the Planning Commission presided over by Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. The Secretary was C.G. Somiah, who presented the draft of the Seventh Plan in 1985. It was a surprise to all of us when Rajiv Gandhi said that the draft document did not make sense. Rajiv Gandhi was keen to usher India into the twentieth century and asked the Planning Commission to redraft the document with emphasis on modern technology and effort to make India catch up with the technological revolution. My recollection is that under the Seventh Plan the country strove to bring about a self-sustained economy.
Following that meeting, it became a drill, that I as Principal Information Officer, had to be present when the plans of the Information Ministry were being discussed. I was also involved in the meetings during the short tenures of Prime Ministers V. P. Singh and Chandrashekar when the country only had annual plans.
I used to visit the Commission when Ramakrishna Hegde became the Deputy Chairman in 1989. We used to have long chats about the political situation in the country. He would tell me that it would take nearly two decades for the country to have a political party, which commanded a majority in Parliament. I remembered him when Narendra Modi assumed office with a clear majority. Hegde was prescient.
Over the years, the Planning Commission has fallen into a routine. It had also become a parking ground for officers who were not wanted in various ministries, retired bureaucrats and a place where assignments have been given to academics and others to make recommendations.
For over a decade, Montek Singh Ahluwalia, who was earlier in the Finance Ministry and in the Prime Minister's Office, has headed it. Due to his grasp of the Indian economy, he was considered the last word in 'Planning'.
One has to watch who will have the last word in the new organization. The country is looking forward to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to infuse new blood into the new organization and give it the mandate to give new direction.

|Middlebrook Becomes A Wolverine
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Sunday, 06 May 2012 13:38
Apparantly, Hannah Barbour and Haleigh Middlebrook of the Watauga High track team must love the snow, the cold and the frigid temperatures that go with it. On Friday, Barbour, a four-time state qualifier in cross country and track, made a verbal commitment to attend Wheaton College, a Division III school in Wheaton, IL, and a member of the College Conference
of Illinois-Wisconsin. Barbour has qualified for regionals in two events this season---the 800-meter run and she is also a member of the 4x800 relay team. On Sunday, Middlebrook made a verbal commitment to attend the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and a member of the Big Ten Conference. Like Barbour, Middlebrook is a four-time state qualifier in track and cross country. She has qualified for regionals in three events, the 800, the 1,600 and as a member of WHS's 4x800 relay team.

The partial irregular seams are also due to the sewing machine which has got one's own character by varying the needle tension while sewing. It's just an old lady.
Edited by LAUFBURSCHE-DE on 11/30/2008 08:25:03 MST.
Damn, thats cool. Nice work.I must learn how to sew.Good luck,Red
That is one FINE looking pack!You may have inspired me to add such a project to my list!
That's a nice pack! Well thought and superbly executed.
Fantastic looking pack. Its very similar to what I want to end up with after finishing modifications on my GoLite Ion but you're probably lighter and have a little more volume. Can't wait to see your next project!
Excellent skills guy!!
Well done and where do I buy one of these? Or do I have to make my own? Looks great is that a z rest inside? And where did you get the raw materials? In europe or ...I especially like the last photo with the light from behind.
Edited by rogerb on 11/30/2008 10:39:16 MST.
Thank you all for the great compliments!Yes , it is a z-lite inside the pack and i bought the entire raw material in berlin.If there is interest i could post also a myog bivy made off Tyvek.All the best Laufbursche
"If there is interest i could post also amyog bivy made off Tyvek."please do.
That's a great looking pack! I've been playing around with making a pack, but nothing that well built yet.A few questions:1) Any chance you'll post a guide with dimensions of the fabric pieces used?2) On the shoulder strap edges I noticed the edging material. Is this gross grain ribbon? How do you sew it on? I've been getting gross grain ribbon and folding it then ironing it, which is a major pain. How do you do it?
Good glory that's gorgeous! Exactly the kind of pack I wish somebody would put on the market.
Very nice, I would be interested in seeing your tyvek bivy and hearing about your experience with performance of tyvek in this application. Having worked on this idea myself I would be very interested in seeing your work. I'm sure, if your pack is an indication, your MYOG tyvek bivy will make my efforts seem very basic. Again - great job.
Edited by thomdarrah on 12/03/2008 10:17:16 MST.
Very, very nice. How long did it take for you to design and then sew the pack?
Hey folks,"Any chance you'll post a guide with dimensions of the fabric pieces used?"I will think about it.That's right the edging material of the shoulder straps is something similar to grosgrain ribbon, mayby a little bit stronger. At first I fixed the ribbon with double-sided tape on the edge, then I sewed the the straps by using a magnetic seam guide.The design and the sewing took me about a week. And now, after all the major problems are fixed, the Backback would be well done in one day, perhaps."Exactly the kind of pack I wish somebody would put on the market."Should I?With my best regards
Edited by LAUFBURSCHE-DE on 12/04/2008 11:23:49 MST.
Hi Mateusz,This is a beautiful backpack! Well done. Will you post instructions on how to build this backpack?Thanks!Nick
very nice, im in the planning information gather phase myself id really like to see some plans\guide lines. the shoulder straps look great.
Tried the link, for me it seems to lead to a blank page.
Oh man, that's a really old Thread and also a really old pack!Since this pack I've made maybe 25 new ones and changed a lot of the detailsThe packs are still made from SilNylon, but I have strengthened the claimed areas with stronger materials.The weight of the packs ist now around 10 oz.And I'm very sorry I can't publish the patterns.cheersLaufbursche

My name is Shawn,37 Well just looking someone that would like to be with me an enjoy life. Iam allways in the mood for a good time. (: please no games i want a real women please!*I truely am a really good guy. I'm kind, sweet, loving, honest, and caring. I notice all the time that a lot of girls are looking for a really nice, down to earth, sweet guy, but for some reason I always seem to get overlooked. I don't understand that. I know that I'm not the best looking guy out there, but I'm well-rounded and I treat women respectfully (as they should be) and make their happiness a top priority. I'm hoping to someday find a great girl to establish a relationship with and make every effort to ensure that relationship is strong, successful, and loving. I believe honesty is the key to a successful relationship and that taking things slower allows it to develop properly. I've got a great, sometimes sarcastic, sense of humor and I try to see the humor in things and have fun, but I also know when it's time to be serious. I'm very handy around the house. I can do and fix a lot of things, even if I've never done it before. I can usually figure it out. I enjoy helping others out and I'll do almost anything for anybody. I enjoy doing a lot of things, but I'm always looking to try something new. For me it's not about what you're doing, it's about the company you're with. Well, there's a small glimpse of who I am.Love is not about sex, going on fancy dates, or showing off. It's about being with a person who makes you happy in a waywhat ever happen to the women that wanted a true and honesty man were did them days go just asking nobody else can I'm sure I've left a lot of things out, so feel free to ask me

Price edges out amateur to claim New Zealand Open
BY iseekgolf.com | Australasian PGA Tour | 2004 New Zealand Open | Wrap | 18 Jan 2004
Queenslander Terry Price scored his fifth significant tour victory in his 25-year professional career when he claimed the Holden New Zealand Open golf championship in Auckland.
Price, 43, took the NZD$700,000 Open and the winner's cheque of NZD$126,000 when he safely made a regulation par on the last hole at The Grange to beat New Zealand amateur Brad Heaven by a shot.
Price finished nine-under on 271 and Heaven, the halfway leader, was eight-under on 272. Heaven, 23, had a 7m birdie putt on the last to take the championship into a play off, but while he read the break correctly he left it a few rolls short.
Heaven won the Bledisloe Cup as leading amateur. It was the second time for the tall Aucklander who had claimed it for the first time as a 16-year-old at Paraparaumu in 1996.
Third on six under were 2001 New Zealand Open champion David Smail (Hamilton) who closed with 66 for a six-under total of 274 which was matched by seasoned Queenslander Peter Senior, whose 65 was the second best round of the day.
Price, who went into the last round a shot to the good of home-town favourite Heaven and Queenslander Chris Downes, knew the Auckland crowd were behind their player, expecially as Heaven had the chance to become the first Kiwi amateur to win the New Zealand since Bob Charles in 1954. Sir Bob played his last Open this week but missed the cut.
"I knew what was going on. It would have been a great event for Brad to win. As much as I wanted to win, a part of me was saying how great it would for New Zealand golf, if he won."
"But you play this game as a competitor and I've been out there in the heat as well hitting balls. Your putting in the yards as well. I would not have been disappointed had he birdied the last hole and won the tournament."
"What a great story it would have been had he done it 50 years after Bob Charles and I was certainly aware of that."
The winning of the Open came early into the back nine when Price when for broke and won the bet, being only the second of 69 players to par the tough 13th hole. Then Heaven three-putted 14 and 15, and the damage was done.
"I can't help but feel a little disappointed," Heaven said. He leaves tomorrow to resume his golf scholarship at the University of Toledo in Ohio."
"I was happy with the way I played but the dice did not roll my way down the stretch. That three-putt at 14 really killed me. I had visions of winning two trophies today, but I came here to win the Bledisloe Cup and I did that. I'll take away from here great memories that I'll never forget."
Senior, the little Queenslander with the broomstick putter, was 27th equal overnight, but his five-under 65 was bettered on the day only by New South Wales professional Leigh McKechnie, an early starter who had seven birdies and a bogey in his 64.
Smail, who plys his trade mainly in Japan, started equal 19th and his 66, four birdies, two bogeys, elevated him to third. He will rue a quadruple bogey at the par-4 10th hole in Saturday's third round.
"When I birdied the 12th to go seven -under I thought if I could par 13 (the hardest hole on the course playing at nearly a shot over the par 4) and pick up one or two more birdies and get to eight under I might have a chance," Senior said.
"The course was not playing easy and the greens were so quick. The wind sometimes lulled and it was hard to pick the direction and that makes the club selection pretty difficult. That back nine is no snack."
Senior, however, bogeyed the 13th and while he went close with several birdie putts on the last five holes, none dropped.
Smail said he was "really happy" to finish as well as he did considering he was recovering from cracked ribs and had had little practice.
"I gave myself no chance of winning teeing off. I thought somebody might get to nine or 10 under. Later I thought if I got to seven under I might have a chance but I'm happy to finish at six-under."
