The DailyTech have just discovered that Microsoft have not only reached Gold status with the development of their new Office 2007 suite, but Vista has also finally reached RTM (release to manufacturing) status as well, essentially the final build which will be used for the retail market.
According to several reports, Microsoft pulled some overtime during the weekend and has finished Windows Vista.
The specific release to manufacturing (RTM) date has been up in the air ever since the release of Windows Vista RC2. Following some showstopping bugs, Microsoft was forced to delay its RTM date two weeks from October 25 to November 8.
Long time Microsoft aficionado Paul Thurrott wrote in a WinInfo update that Windows Vista would be hitting RTM status today, a full two days earlier than anticipated.

Walmart is generally pretty good about returns so long as you have the receipt and box and are within the return period. The worst thing that can happen is you'll have to wait while they call someone up from the electronics department (who is only slightly more technically proficient than the cashiers working the return desk) to match the serial number on the back of your phone with the one on the receipt and the box (yes, it's a hilarious thing to witness).

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Tech stocks ended the week on a mixed note Friday, as big losses from semiconductor giant Intel Corp. claimed much of investors' attention in the wake of the company giving a disappointing outlook for its sales next year.
Intel US:INTC shares fell 5.4% to close at $23.87 after the company said late Thursday that it expects sales to be flat next year, while analysts expected an increase of 1.4% over the company's 2013 sales.
The weak forecast stole investors' attention away from Intel's announcement that it plans to make a more aggressive push into the mobile market next year. The company made its comments at Intel's annual meeting with Wall Street analysts on Thursday.
Despite Intel's performance, the Nasdaq Composite Index US:COMP still rose more than 22 points to close at 3,991, while he Philadelphia Semiconductor Index US:SOX edged into positive territory by the time the market closed.
Pandora, Intel are stocks to watch

Pandora Media Inc. US:P gave up 1.5%, to close at $29.23, on reaction to the Internet radio company's fiscal third-quarter results late Thursday. Pandora said it lost one penny a share, on $180.4 million in sales, compared with profit of one penny a share, on sales of $120 million in the same period a year ago.
Excluding one-time items, Pandora said it would have earned 6 cents a share to meet the estimates of analysts surveyed by FactSet, who also forecast the company would report sales of $177 million. Mobile-advertising revenue remained Pandora's largest piece of total sales, as such revenue rose 58% from a year ago to almost $105 million.
Microsoft Corp. US:MSFT shares edged up by 17 cents to close at $37.52. The software giant's new Xbox One videogame console went on sale at midnight around the U.S. with a $499 price tag. It is Microsoft's first new videogame console since the Xbox 360 made its debut eight years ago.
Splunk Inc. US:SPLK flexed its muscles, surging $13.66 a share, or almost 23%, to close at $73.56 after the data-analytics software company reported late Thursday a wider fiscal third-quarter loss, but its results beat Wall Street forecasts. Splunk said it added 450 new customers during the quarter.
Marvell Technology Group Ltd. US:MRVL shares rose more than 5% to end the day at $14.58. Late Thursday, the semiconductor maker reported better-than-expected third-quarter results, led by growing sales to flash drive and mobile-device makers.

Low complexity symbol detection method for multilevel 2-D optical storage based on a linear channel model
Moinian, A. and Stankovic, L. and Honary, B. (2005) Low complexity symbol detection method for multilevel 2-D optical storage based on a linear channel model. Optical Engineering, 44 (10). ISSN 0091-3286
350590.pdf - Final Published Version Download (807kB) | Preview |
A symbol detection scheme based on the Viterbi algorithm that simultaneously processes subsets of 2-D data in the presence of Gaussian noise was recently proposed for binary 2-D optical storage (TwoDOS). In the case of multilevel TwoDOS, a straightforward full-fledged maximum likelihood symbol detector, or even the previous Viterbi-based algorithm, is not an ideal solution due to complexity restrictions. We propose a suboptimum low complexity symbol detector, which still performs within the accepted performance bound for optical storage. We describe the procedures involved in designing and developing a practical symbol detection scheme for multilevel TwoDOS by analyzing the signal values generated by a linear channel model in the presence of Gaussian noise. Our proposed detection scheme exploits the properties of the 2-D data format on the disk, and is flexible enough to accommodate performance and complexity restrictions for optical storage applications.

STOPPING MY TRUVADA'?????? (BONE DISEASE AND HIV/AIDS, 2011)Jan 29, 2011 HI I HAVE BEEN ON KALETRA Y TRUVADA FOR 4YRS NOW AND TODAY MY DC HAS TOLD ME TO STOP THE TRUVADA AND JUST TAKE KALETRA 2 IN THE MRNING N 2 EVENING?? I HAVE JUST RECENTLY IN 2010 HAD 2 TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENTS DUE TO AVASCULAR NICROSIS, PLEASE PLEASE IS THERE A CONNECTION TO THE TRUVADA?? MY CD4 IS ONLY 388 AND THATS THE HIGHEST IN THE 4YRS PLEASE HELP THANX MARK |
Response from Dr. FrascinoHi Mark, Truvada has been associated with bone loss problems (osteopenia and osteoporosis). However, there has not been a firm link with osteonecrosis (avascular necrosis). I'll reprint below some information from the archives about bone disease and HIV/AIDS. I would be concerned about Kaletra mono-therapy. Depending on your resistance profile, additional antiretrovirals should be added to your regimen if you are discontinuing Truvada. Consideration could be given to Epzicom (abacavir plus lamivudine), or a regimen that contains an integrase inhibitor (Isentress) or a CCR5 entry inhibitor (maraviroc). If necessary, get a second opinion from another HIV specialist physician regarding your next regimen. Good luck Mark. Dr. Bob Bone Disease and HIV/AIDS January 2010 The Importance of Healthy Bones Bones play many important roles in your body. They support you and help you to move. They protect your brain, heart, and other organs from injury. Bones also store minerals such as calcium and phosphorous. Bones are living tissue and change during your life. Every day, your body removes old bone and adds new bone in its place. In young people, more bone is added than removed. After age 30, more bone is removed than added. This makes the bones lighter and more fragile, putting them at greater risk for injury. Many people have weak bones and don't know it. That is because bone loss often happens over a long period of time and doesn't hurt. For many people, a broken bone is the first sign that they have a bone disorder. Bone Disease and HIV Being HIV-positive puts you at higher risk for bone disease. Experts don't know why this happens. It could be due to HIV itself, HIV drugs, or HIV-positive people getting older. HIV-positive people have unusually high rates of three kinds of bone diseases: Osteoporosis Osteoporosis happens when too much bone gets broken down and not enough put back. This causes lower bone density, also called bone mineral density (BMD), which means there are lower-than-normal levels of minerals in the bones. Bones become weak and are more likely to break. People with osteoporosis most often break bones in the wrist, spine, and hip. Osteopenia Like osteoporosis, osteopenia is caused by a loss of bone minerals that leads to lower-than-normal bone density. It is a less serious condition; however, people with osteopenia are at higher risk of developing osteoporosis over a five- to ten-year period. Osteonecrosis (avascular necrosis) Osteonecrosis means bone death. It is caused by a loss of blood supply to the bone. It usually affects the head of the femur, the part of the thigh bone that connects it to the hip. Risk Factors In addition to HIV and HIV drugs, there are other things can put you at risk for bone disease: Risk factors you can control Diet: Getting too little calcium and vitamin D Exercise: Not exercising and not being active Low body weight: Being too thin Tobacco use: Smoking cigarettes Alcohol and coffee intake: Drinking a lot of alcohol and/or caffeine Testosterone levels: Low testosterone levels in men Use of certain medicines: Long-term use of medicines including glucocorticosteroids (drugs such as prednisone and cortisone), thyroid hormones, anticonvulsants (anti-seizure medications), heparin, pentamidine, and ketoconazole Risk factors you cannot control Age: Your chances of getting osteoporosis increase as you get older Gender: Women have a greater chance of getting osteoporosis because they have smaller bones Menopause: Women lose bone due to hormone changes that happen after menopause Ethnicity: White and Asian women are at higher risk; Hispanic and African-American women are also at risk, but less so How to Know If You Have Bone Problems Osteoporosis and Osteopenia Bone mineral density (BMD) tests are the only way to find out if you have osteoporosis or osteopenia. The most widely used BMD test is a DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan. A DEXA scan is an easy and painless test. Osteonecrosis Osteonecrosis causes pain in the joints, usually in the hip area. At first the pain might only occur when you put weight on the joint. In more severe cases the pain could be constant. An MRI scan can spot early stages. X-rays and other scans can detect advanced osteonecrosis. Diet and Healthy Bones Even though you cannot control some of the things that lead to bone disease, you can control your diet. The mineral calcium makes up a large part of your bones. This means that if you do not get enough calcium in your diet, your bones may get weaker. Calcium is found naturally in some foods, and it is added to others. Some foods that contain calcium are: Milk Yogurt Cheese Calcium-fortified orange juice Tofu Salmon with the bones Most HIV-positive people still need to take calcium pills every day even if they eat dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt. A registered dietitian or other trained health care provider can help you decide if you should take calcium supplements. If so, it may be a good idea to take calcium pills with vitamin D in them, since your body cannot use calcium without vitamin D. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF): Adults under age 50 need 1,000 mg of calcium and 400-800 IU of vitamin D daily Adults 50 and over need 1,200 mg of calcium and 800-1,000 IU of vitamin D daily Talk to your health care provider before taking any supplements and do not take more than these amounts unless your health care provider tells you to. Exercise and Healthy Bones If you don't have joint pain, it is also important to exercise on a regular basis. When you exercise your muscles pull against your bones, which helps keep them healthy and strong. The best kind of exercise to keep your bones strong is exercise that uses weight such as: Walking (you can use ankle weights) Working out with weights or weight machines Stair climbing Hiking Aerobics Jogging If you can't do high-impact weight-bearing activities, try lower-impact ones. For example, try walking or stair climbing instead of jogging. If you haven't exercised regularly for a while, check with your healthcare provider before beginning a new exercise program. Once you have your healthcare provider's approval, start your exercise routine slowly. Every two weeks make your routine five minutes longer. In the end, you should be working out three to seven times a week, about 20-60 minutes each time. Drugs to Treat Osteoporosis Diet and exercise are best at keeping bone disease from occurring. They can also be helpful if you already have osteopenia or osteoporosis, but in some cases, your health care provider may also recommend treatment with medication. Make sure to ask your health care provider about how to take the medication, possible side effects, and whether there are any interactions with HIV drugs you take. Some of the osteoporosis medications that are commonly used include: Bisphosphonates Drugs like Fosamax (alendronate), Boniva (ibandronate), and Actonel (risedronate) are widely used to treat and prevent osteoporosis. It is important to get enough calcium and vitamin D when you are taking a bisphosphonate. Hormones Estrogen: In women, replacing the hormone estrogen has shown to significantly decrease the number of fractures. Sometimes estrogen is combined with another hormone called progesterone. However, there is an increased risk of developing other diseases including certain cancers. Because of this, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends using other osteoporosis medications and, if estrogen/progesterone are used, the lowest possible doses should be considered. Testosterone: Testosterone therapy may be useful to slow or reverse decreased bone density and strength in men. Miacalcin (calcitonin): This naturally occurring hormone slows bone loss and increases bone density in the spine. Forteo (teriparatide): Forteo is a parathyroid hormone that has been shown to rebuild bone and increases bone mineral density, especially in the spine. Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) Evista (raloxifene) is in a class of osteoporosis drugs called SERMs. Evista was developed to work like estrogen therapy, but with fewer side effects. Protect Your Bones HIV-positive women, especially those who have gone through menopause, need to be particularly careful about bone health. Speak to your health care provider and follow these steps to help protect your bones: Ask your health care provider if you need a DEXA scan Follow a diet with plenty of calcium and vitamin D Seek the advice of a registered dietitian if you need help choosing the right foods Take calcium supplements if needed (talk to your health care provider first) Ask your health care provider what exercises are safe for you, and start doing them Stop smoking and reduce your intake of caffeine and alcohol Tell your health care provider if you are experiencing joint pain, especially in the hip area | ||||||||||

Queer Town: Big Gay Night at Armani
Christoph Babka, a handsome blonde with a keen sense of duty, was burned out working in Hollywood, so he decided to shake things up.
"We try to get the younger generation involved," he said, holding a clipboard inside the Armani Exchange store on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. "There's a lot of apathy with that group of people. Sometimes they get lost in the scene. Sometimes they're not even a part of the scene. And sometimes they're not even a part of the community. So we're trying to build a community."
Babka was speaking of the gay and lesbian community, and now he stood with two hundred or so other young men on a Thursday night during Gay Pride Week and looked to sign up new members for the Young Professionals Council, an outreach program of the LA Gay & Lesbian Center.
"The Center realized most of the people giving money were over the age of 40," said Babka, who's chairman of the Young Professionals and a producer at a new media strategies firm. "So they wanted to reach out to younger people, but they really had no idea how to do that. That's where we come in."

Started two years ago, the Young Professionals raise money for the Center and its programs and sometimes act like a kind of action network.
"If we need people to go to a rally," Babka said, "we make the calls and we get them there."
They also hold parties, which the Young Professionals were currently hosting at Armani Exchange, with co-sponsor Out magazine. The booze was free, a DJ played very loud grooves, and five male models wearing only underwear stood in a display window, with their buttocks facing the Strip and one black letter painted on each of their hairless chests. Standing side by side, the letters spelled out the word "PRIDE."
Jennifer, a spunky brunette who moved to LA eight weeks ago to pursue an acting career, stood in front of the models with a digital camera in hand. Richard, a friend, had just taken a shot of her in the arms of the model with the "I" on his chest.
"He was very sweet and nice," Jennifer said, looking at herself smiling in the photo. "So was 'P,' 'R,' and 'D.' I don't want to get him in trouble, but 'E' wasn't very nice."
"He told me not to judge him," said Richard, after he asked 'E' if he could take a picture with him. "He was mean."
Another friend, also named Jennifer, who was visiting from New York, didn't like 'E' either.
"Get rid of him," she said, and then took a sip from her drink.
Seemingly out of nowhere, an actor and model named Vincent De Paul interrupted the girls.
"Isn't this wonderful?" he asked, and looked over at the models. "It's wonderful to be celebrating fashion and pride and masculinity this way."
The girls moved away and De Paul kept talking.
"Whenever a designer like Armani holds an event like this," he said, "I always try to show up."
After explaining a few other reasons why the night was wonderful, De Paul's cell phone rang and he picked up.
"I have to go to the front," he said without explanation, and walked away.
A few minutes later, De Paul took off his shirt in the middle of the crowd and tried on a white Armani shirt. It fit him well, and he seemed to consider buying it. Whether he knew it or not, a portion of the sales of that shirt, and anything else that sold in the store, would be donated to the LA Gay & Lesbian Center. The line at the cash register was long. It would probably be a good night for everyone.

Tom Lehman takes Champions Tour lead
- Article by: TIM CRONIN
- Associated Press
- June 21, 2014 - 9:25 AM
GLENVIEW, Ill. — Tom Lehman birdied four straight holes and finished with a bogey-free 7-under 65 to take the first-round lead Friday in the Champions Tour's Encompass Championship.
Finishing on the front nine, Lehman birdied Nos. 4-7 and closed with two pars at North Shore Country Club. The 55-year-old Minnesotan nearly holed out for an eagle on the par-5 sixth, leaving a 6-inch putt, and ran in a 15-footer on the par-3 seventh.
He has struggled with his putting since winning the last of his seven senior titles in 2012.
"I've been living in this zone of second-guessing my reads, second-guessing my stroke because I misread so many putts," said Lehman, whose best finish this season is a tie for third at the Tradition. "Then I become less committed to the putt and start putting bad strokes on them. It's kind of a cycle. It's been a very frustrating last couple of years in that way."
Of his seven birdie putts, the longest were three from about 15 feet.
Doug Garwood and England's Roger Chapman were a stroke back at 66, and Mark O'Meara, Sandy Lyle, Jeff Sluman, Michael Allen, Bart Bryant, Kirk Triplett and John Inman shot 67.
Chapman made four straight birdies early in his round, then birdied the 11th and 14th holes en route to his best score of the season. He switched caddies this week, using veteran Angel Monguzzi.
"I felt totally in control," Chapman said. "There have been times this year I've been anxious. Today, I was very relaxed going around with Angel. He seemed to be saying the right things at the right time."
Garwood, a playoff loser this month in the Principal Charity Classic in Iowa, chipped in from the rough on the 13th for one of his eight birdies.
"It gave me a boost as far as being comfortable with all the players," Garwood said about the second-place finish in Iowa.
Colin Montgomerie, the Senior PGA Championship winner in his last tour start, had a 69.
Charles Schwab Cup points leader Bernhard Langer shot 71. He had a double-bogey 7 on No. 6.
Defending champion Craig Stadler opened with a 73.

I've been meaning to swatch this collection for MONTHS, but my nails are always so stained that I haven't been able to until now. For some reason my nails are really nice and white and pretty right now... I haven't done anything different! Maybe it's from all the swatching I've done this week. Who knows. I'm not complaining.
Anyway, just in case you like these polishes and don't want to read my less-than-glowing opinion of them, I'll post the pictures first and my review second :)
Blushing Bride. A sheer milky cream with a bit of a pink tint.
Cloud Nine. A sheer bright white jelly.
Happily Ever After. A sheer milky shade.
No Pre-Nup. A sheer pink jelly.
Tie The Knot. An off-white cream with a hint of beige.
True Love. A sheer peachy-pink jelly.
Now for my review.
Honestly, I HATE this collection. Sorry sheer-lovers. I just can't do it!
First of all, I never wear these types of colors so they are way outside of my comfort zone. They're not my style, not my personality, and really, really uninteresting to me. I'll go so far as to say that these polishes depress me. When I look down at my hands while wearing these, it's like seeing someone else's hands attached to my body. Freaky.
Second, what you're looking at is SIX COATS OF POLISH. No, I'm totally serious, six freaking coats of polish are on my nails here and they're not even close to being opaque. I do not like to see my nails through my polish. If I were to do only two or three coats of these polishes, it would pretty much look like I'm wearing nothing on my nails. I just don't see the point. With foundation it's one thing- wearing makeup to look like you're not wearing makeup. But my nails? This look is not for me, that's for sure.
Third, if your nails are even the least bit yellow or stained, these polishes will look like total crap. There is no hiding stains with these polishes. Any little bit of damage (like those white lines from where I slammed my finger in a cabinet) or discoloration will be glaringly obvious. These polishes require naturally flawless nails to wear, otherwise it just enhances and draws attention to any flaws that are present.
The colors are boring, plain, demure, uninteresting, natural and just all around too feminine for me. This means that a lot of women probably love these to death, and more power to them. If you like these colors, awesome for you. Thousands of them exist in the world and you can easily find something to suit your tastes. For me, they are the essence of frustration. When I go to the store looking for a cool new polish in a fun color, all I can find are hundreds of sheer pinks!! Sheer pinks are the bane of my existence, if you haven't noticed. Hah!
Okay, okay. I know I'm being harsh. But hey, this is my blog!
I guess there's one color I like from this collection. Cloud Nine.
Cloud Nine is really pretty. It's a bright white jelly that brightens your nails and makes them look very clean. I think it would be a good base for other colors and I'm sure it would make a really natural looking french manicure. If it wasn't so sheer, I might actually wear it. It's soft enough to not look retro, super bright but not stark and chalky looking! It is a really nice white jelly.
Why do all 'bridal' collections have to be so plain? Not every bride on earth wants plain nails on her wedding day. I sure didn't- I wore glitter! Holo glitter! OPI Paris Couture For Sure and Orly Love Each Other, to be exact. I wish someone would release a funky bridal collection for people like me. Seriously, not every bride wants to look identical and not every bride wants the stereotypical chunky fake pink-and-whites that plague the pages of bridal magazines and posters inside salons.
I can see that there are plenty of situations that call for these types of polishes. Job interviews, perhaps. Very conservative offices, sure. Jobs where you're not allowed to wear polish but want to do it anyway without drawing attention to it, totally.
Not all collections of sheer pinks are boring and plain. In fact, there is a collection of sheer pinks and whites that I absolutely love and would totally wear (and have actually worn)! I'll post about that later this week. Light feminine colors can have character and still be pretty (and not need six coats to wear).

Essie Bridal Collection 2008
43 comments:
I think we may have similar tastes. I am engaged and I want a loud, interesting color on my wedding day (I'm leaning toward either a vampy shade or a silver holo), not some boring pale shade! I don't understand why all polish companies seem to think that bride = sheer white/pink. I understand why pale shades are necessary in life (like you said, job interviews, conservative offices, etc.) but honestly, most of them end up looking fairly identical (I mean, how much can you really do with sheer and pale?). These companies need to STOP re-creating the exact same sheers and come up with a unique bridal collex! Or even a unique conservative collex (hello, OPI TMF???!!! RBL Grunge???!!)!!
(end rant) :D Love your blog!- tarotbydianaMarch 18, 2009 at 10:26 PM
Wow, this bridal collection makes me want to check the box marked "single" forever. Six coats? That's like a joke. Why even have a brush? Why not just dump the bottle over your nails to gain a semblance of opacity?
ReplyDelete Snore...this collection is totally boring. I must admit I wore some pale pink on my wedding day, but that was before my polish addiction. If I could go back I'd wear a pale blue because that was the color some of the beads on my dress, my cake was blue, etc, etc. Oh well! Scrangie I would love to see your wedding day mani!
ReplyDeleteThis collection is really boring and makes me want to stay single.
6 coats? wow, is this a joke?
Once I had a polish that needed 4 coats and I thought that was bad - swapped it of course.
Cloud Nine looks like a nice white but is it also 6 coats like the rest of them? It's the only 1 I would consider getting because I'm looking for a nice non-stark white right now.- AnonymousMarch 19, 2009 at 1:44 AM
Your right. Sheer pink for brides is so typical. I work OPI Jewel of India! Luv that colour.
ReplyDelete Boring!! Yes they're work appropriate, but even work appropriate can be a lot less boring!! Anyway I really liked to read what polish you wore on your wedding day! I'm getting married in september and wearing an off-white dress. I'm thinking about wearing OPI Opening Night Gold or CG It's My Turn or something like that. I mean, it's a party right? :-D
ReplyDeleteSO AGREED. Streaky sheer nudes? No thanks. If it doesn't even out the appearance of my nail, it's not doing its job as a nail polish, even if it IS a light/sheer color. I'd honestly look better in a plain glossy top coat!
I wore OPI Suzi Loves Sydney at my wedding. My dress was a deep maroon/burgundy. :-DScrangie I agree with Siobhan, you are a Saint! I would NEVER paint 6 coats of polish on my nails. It's a wonder you could lift your hands. Sheers suck big time! If I was getting married now I would wear Revvolution. A nice holo with plenty of color. Be brave and wear something you love. Don't wear what everyone expects.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind sheers - I used to have a very sheer purple jelly that I LOVED. But sheer pinks and beiges? Did the world really need more of these? Ugh.
My own wedding mani was actually black polish - my hubs and I eloped at the courthouse. I think I wore black crop pants and one of his black t-shirts. *laugh*- AnonymousMarch 19, 2009 at 12:28 PM
Ew. I love jellies but with some color! (I have on RBL's Bikini Bottom at three thin coats.)
I agree that Cloud Nine is very pretty on you. But six coats? Pff.
Dana Cerise I really don't like Essie, they seem too boring. This collection is definitely a snorefest. I don't usually wear sheers (the few I own are Zoya or China Glaze, so not boring). One of the neatest colors I have for layering is Orly's Cut the Cake, and I think that's from a bridal collection. It's a white glitter and Nfu.Ohs look great over it. I definitely think it would be cool to see a collection released that's holo or glitter or glass flecked for a wedding.
Thanks for the review ;)ITA with you on this collection - snooze-fest! I liked how Tie the Knot looked in these pics...but I don't like it 6 coats-worth.
I love Opaque nudes and would love to see more of these, my poor stained nails just can't wear sheers like this. I want to rock red nails when I get married haha- ocelot1March 20, 2009 at 1:43 PM
i HATE chunky acrylics *shudder*
i have maybe 2 or 3 of these polishes- but im ok with these colors :)i agree that essie sheers get pretty boring tho - AnonymousMarch 20, 2009 at 6:22 PM
I'm all about feminine colors, but these are down right pukey. Although, you make them look better than they are! I respect your opinion on these. Yeah, really, what is wrong with some HOT colors for a bridal collection? My wife had some rocking nails on our wedding. Great length and opi Opal. I about had a heart attack. I think was the only one that noticed... Sorry, memory lane moment. Any way, thanks for taking the time to swatch something you don't even like; a true professional.
Scott You all are hilarious! I was laughing so hard reading this. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who isn't in to these sheer pinks... So I wonder who DOES wear these? They've been making them a billion years... My Mom used to always wear a bright, medium orange creme (with matching lipstick of course). I can remember what her lipstick smelled like... and that the way she put it on made the lipstick bullet flat on the tip! Is that weird or what (I'll be 45 next week)?! I'm new to these blogs, but I've noticed several times people referring to swapping polish. Is this something that the polish companies offer on a regular basis? I read about the Zoya swap, and am going to try that for the first time.
ReplyDeleteYou know... you just summarized everything I think. I'm getting married next month and am looking for a bright pink/fuscha color but all I see in bridal collections are these girly little sheer things!!! I hate them!!! I'm more of a brights or darks girl... I'm not going to wear black on my wedding day but I feel like bright pink is very appropriately me!!! Any suggestions?
ReplyDelete- BlighterSeptember 19, 2009 at 3:00 PM
I do bridal manicures all the time and it makes me die a little more inside whenever the poor boring bride requests a french. HOWEVER, I do "encourage" (by thrusting it under their nose) topping the white with something interesting, like OPI "Princesses Rule!" Or "Who Needs a Prince?". In fact, the OPI bridal collections since this have been vastly superior. Thank goodness.
ReplyDelete Nina - you mentioned you wore pale pink nails on your wedding day but that was "before your polish addiction". Hmm, I realize I may have developed one! I started ordering a few pastel spring colours, then I started haunting the nail polish blogs.. now I find myself ordering them by the dozen online, and searching specific names via ebay :-D I guess I'm officially an addict!
I don't know yet what I will want to wear on my wedding day - I came across your blog for the Princess CHarming (OPI) collection. Love all of them - will wear them for variety reasons aside more colourful polishes. I think I may like one of them for my wedding day, who knows! Thanks for this review though, I don't like near-transparent shades. I would never want to have to apply 6 shades to get the effect you showed on the pics! Am in love with OPI Princess judging from your post though! thanks a billion!

Not sure what do you mean by correction algorithm? The official map itself is never corrected. Instead, the coordinates received from the GPS chipset are added by the same amount of shift (i.e. the same x'=f(x, y) and y'=g(x, y) transformation) to match the shifted map. As a result it appears no shift to the user, but the recorded track will have shifted coordinates (well, newer devices provide both coordinates before and after the addition now). The code to do the transformation is written and compiled by the government then licensed to the GPS device maker.
I am not a lawyer, but that's the common interpretation.

text: Stevie Wonder's Plea for Accessibility in GamesOwen Good12/13/09 7:00pmFiled to: vgasVideo Game Awardsdisabled gamersStevie WonderCultureOpinionTop3061EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Undoubtedly, the Spike Video Game Awards' Best Music Game was going to go to The Beatles: Rock Band, and the show lined up a presenter with enough star power to do the job last night: Motown legend Stevie Wonder. Advertisement But it's what Wonder, did with the moment that shows why the man is and has been so respected, for so long, in both his art and popular culture. In praising the rhythm genre for creating accessibility to disabled gamers, Wonder - blind since birth - called on the industry as a whole to follow that example, and find ways that this emerging art form may be enjoyed by everyone.Yes, "video game" would imply that sight is a necessary condition of participation. People have had the same assumption about baseball, which is also played by the blind; basketball is contested by those who use wheelchairs. On and on. These are not the games many people choose to play, and they are not the ones we watch on television. But the value these sports present to their participants can't be qualified by whether the fully abled would want to play. Advertisement Similarly, perhaps a game for the blind, whatever form it takes, would not be one that you or I would buy. But Stevie Wonder is right; as the art form mainstreams, it acquires mainstream obligations to serve more communities that wish to enjoy it. His message last night was on the mark. This is a remarkably creative industry, and it can find a way.Stevie Wonder Pleads for "Disabled Accessibility" [The Lost Gamer]Reply306 repliesLeave a reply

We know you were all excited about the prospect of Kate Gosselin and her litter of children finally being kept off of our television screens for good, but, according to People, that may not be the case.
"It would have to be the right one," she clarified to Matt Lauer during an appearance on The Today Show (what is she even promoting?), not failing to add, "I'm sure you will see my kids again at some point."
Good enough while it lasted, right? It's not as if TV is at a shortage of uncomfortable reality shows about children.

Did Oscar Goldman have it right, can we rebuild a business?
The list business is shifting as aggregators provide access to 100s if not 1,000s of different lists. If they have all those lists I no longer want individual PDFs for each individual list, I want information to help me choose the combination of lists that satisfies my needs.
I want to drop one list on top of another to see the overlap and net-down. I also want to use my housefile as well. Lists with high duplicate rates may outperform other sources due to intrinsic factors not readily seen in 'factoids.'
We need to separate the cost model from the need model. I'll pay for performance not volume.
PS – We have the technology and it won't cost $6m

the good reverends tanks.... here are a few pics of my tanks. note: these pics are quite old, will try to get new ones asap. the first is my 10G tank http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...s/DSCF0080.jpg since this pic another plant was added, and things moved around. also the inhabitants have changed. now it only is home to 2 bloodfin tetras and 5 gold barbs. this is my 20G long from when i first set it up: http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...DSCF0009-1.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...s/DSCF0022.jpg and this was it as of one month ago before tear down.... http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...s/DSCF0079.jpg it was home to 5 tiger barbs and 1 pleco when i first set it up. then it was taken down due to moving and ich outbreak. at that time it was home to 4 neons and 5 cherry barbs. the 20G will be re-setup by the end of march and will be home to 6 tiger barbs, 4 green tigers, 2 corys, and possibly a red tail shark. the scape will be completely different with no truck (im a truck guy so it was fun having it in there). the rock will all be white, with red and green plant and a large sand stone fake rock in the middle with some sort of cave setup for hiding. |
Look forward to the new pics. I like the truck :wink: |
thanks, i look forward to seeing it re-setup as well. i miss having it set up. its been down for a couple weeks and will be a couple more till its setup. my plans for stocking may be changing the more i look around. we will see as time draws near |

Anyone using there scopes? I have used there acog's and they are extremely durable wondering about the rest of the line the good and the bad. Looking too put new glass on a 375 Ruger thanks.
I have an Accupoint 3-9 on a .308 and RMR on a double. Like them both very much. Nice in early morning / evening low light conditions. Decent glass for the price and the fact that no batteries are needed. Holds up to recoil and travel on both those rifles. I will buy Accupoints again.
I think they're a bit pricy, however everything I've read concurs with what Arinjit said. After having a Zeiss Conquest go down on my recent trip to RSA, I'm giving thought to anything durable for my .375H&H. Nikon may fit the bill there as I know a fellow on another forum that shoots roughly 10,000 rounds a year in big bores. He has sworn off Leupold and gone to Nikon in recent years. He has yet to have a Nikon go down.
I used to have a Nikon Prostaff 3-9 that I put on a 375 H&H and for some reason it just wouldn't hold zero. I never bothered to contact Nikon and ended up giving it to my friend's wife who put it on a .243 and it works fine. I ended up with a Swarovski Z3 3-10 on the 375 and it works great. On the other hand I have a Nikon Buckmaster 6-18 on a 300 WM and it works like a charm. Never had any issues with it. Good glass for the price. Not sure what happened with the Prostaff. May have been me.
An internal lens let go. We had jumped out of the truck to see if we could get on to some Eland. As I grabbed the .375, I heard the lens tinkling around. Later in the hunt, determined to use my .375, I swapped the scope over from my .300WM, the exact same make/model. It did great and I appreciated the light gathering ability of the Zeiss when I pulled up on my Red Hartebeest killed at last light. I really like the Conquest series, great glass for the money. But that's the second time I've had a 4.5-14 go down on me. A previous one would just not hold zero. To the credit of Zeiss, they sent me a new one and I'm sure they will do the same on this one when I send it in. But I'd just as soon not have the bother.
Johhny, I have a Trijicon Accu-Point TR-20 3-9x40 w/ the green triangle reticle on my Ruger Hawkeye .375 it is quick and easy to get on target and has held its point of aim from day one. You will be quite happy with it. Yes, they are costly but no batteries and always bright even in low light. Deer Magnet (Bob)
Trijicon 1x4 with german #4 green dot works like a charm on my 404 jeffery approaching 300, 2300 FPS round through rifle with no problems holding zero. Mounted on Win 70 with Talley bases and QD rings

I noticed how text would only blur in my web browser (Firefox) and only momentarily. Usually after a second it fixes itself though sometimes it doesn't and clicking on the mis-aligned text seems to straighten it. I haven't noticed this happen anywhere else.
Also for some reason it doesn't save my gamma settings for the desktop after I shutdown, so everything looks overexposed. Basically when I boot up everything looks normal until the desktop finishes loading and the default gamma values are loaded over my custom one. I've had this issue with stock Windows 7 too for a while until it mysteriously stopped happening.

Mexican free-tail bats.
Shot at Austin, TX., from under Congress Avenue Bridge, where this bat colony - the largest urban bat colony in North America (estimated at 1.5 million) - shows up every night from mid-March to November.
Of course they are black/brown but when I shot them with the speedlite they get that weird glow.
