How will they benefit me?
Do you want to learn (or master) a new skill? Develop a new hobby? Advance your career, or shift into a new career path all together?
Completing an online course can help you achieve all of these things. It's the easiest way to try a new skill, such as coding, writing, or photography, without committing to a university degree. Online learning is less disruptive to your current lifestyle, as it can be achieved from anywhere, at any time. If midnight is the best time for you to be learning, then midnight it is.
Many online courses will provide teacher support and a network of peers to learn from. Who knows? The person working with you might be recommending you for a job in the near future.
And as with any structured course or class, you'll also have the added benefit of learning discipline and being held accountable. Once you've signed up for the course, you might as well show up, right?
You'll get schedule flexibility as you can access your course at any time, plus all the material is available online. You'll have control over your study time, and in this day and age you can study almost anything online.
If you're worried that you won't be able to interact with your peers, don't be. Most courses offer a chance for interaction with forums and discussion topics plus your tutors are always available online to help.
Finally, online courses tend to be cheaper than actual, physical courses. This is because there are no overheads, such as providing a lecture hall and classrooms for class. You'll find that you don't have to pay for expensive textbooks as well.Back to top
How do I do well in my online course?
The same way you do well in anything else in life: prepare, plan, show up. The beauty of an online course is that – unlike high school, or even a university class you struggled through – no one is forcing you to do it. You've picked a course in an area you're interested in, giving up your own time and money. If you decide it's not for you, that okay. But if you do want to do it, then getting the work done is half the battle.
Other resources you can turn to include asking the course coordinator for extra assistance, researching the subject online, or asking questions of experts in online forums.
- Consider asking your school's office to see if you can receive credits for subjects you've done in the past.
- Evaluate your current lifestyle to help you determine if an online course is right for you.
- Make sure that you do have the time to dedicate towards your online studies.
- Let your family and friends know that you are committing to study, so they don't distract you.
- Communicate with your profession or tutor regularly.
- Always print out the course outline and highlight the part with the schedule. This outlines what content you'll be learning each week and will help you stay on track.
- Set a schedule and stick to it. Allow a minimum of two nights per week dedicated to your studies.
- Understand that you may need to make some sacrifices to either your work or social life. Including going out on weekends.
- Post on the discussion board when you're required. These will count towards participation marks.
- Do all your readings and tutorial exercises as scheduled. Don't leave them until the last minute!
How do I choose a career path?
If we had the answer to that in one simple paragraph, the world would be a different place.
In your lifetime, you are likely to change jobs every couple years, and career paths a few times. It's not vital to know where you want to be in 20 years time. However, if you're struggling to decide what to do, there's a few key questions to ask yourself:
- What skills do I have? These can be both formal (a university education) and personal (strong people skills).
- What have I found most rewarding about previous roles? For some people, it's providing a high level of customer service. For others, it's about helping people. For some, it's even purely about making money. Whatever motivates you, you'll find roles that gravitate towards that.
- What will the market pay me well for? This is a tricky one. All professions wax and wane in popularity, and the changing nature of the job market means the skills in demand will also change. You can pick up clues, however, by looking at job sites, reading the business section to keep abreast of different industries, and noting who's in demand at any one time. The general principle is: where the average consumer is spending money, that's where the business is booming.
The questions you should ask yourself when considering a career, according to Forbes.Back to top
How do online courses work?
This will vary from course to course. Some courses are intensive, one day sessions, while others allow you to complete over a number of weeks or months. While some courses will allow you to work at your own pace (and hold yourself accountable), others will require deadlines and teacher interaction, even if it is only online.
Online courses give you credits that count towards your transcript in the same way a campus-based course would. You can take a course purely online, or partly with a physical one. Students get to access premium content related to their course along with discussion boards, web pages and multimedia technologies.
Do I get a certificate when I'm done?
Again, this will vary from course to course. Some courses, such as the Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) or First Aid, will always provide a certificate at the end as proof of your completion.Back to top
How do I compare online courses?
- Subject: First things first, you need to find the right course for you. Don't start a photography courses expecting to get photoshop lessons. Find a photoshop course instead.
- Career: What skills does your chosen career path value? What skills will set you apart from the competition when applying for jobs?
- Delivery: Most online courses will not require anything to be delivered to you. If they do, this usually comes with a higher fee, so make sure you know what you're committing too because you hit 'purchase'.
- Provider: Some online courses will carry a heavier weight than others. Check out a few different websites providing, or read a few articles about learning your new skill, or find a forum to ask the experts. If it's a provider many people in your chosen industry have completed a course from, you're probably on to a safe bet.
- Location: Again, with online courses, location generally isn't a problem. The exception to this rule is if you require (online) face to face time with your tutor, and you live in different time zones.
- Cost: The biggie. This is the number one factor in deciding which course is for you. Just remember this, though: don't balk at a few hundred dollars for a course. Chances are the skills you learn will help you earn more money throughout your career, so it's a solid investment in yourself.
What are the types of online courses?
- TAFE Online. Here you'll find a range of fully accredited vocational courses, with online support and highly specialised teachers. Courses range across a number of industries, including Early Childcare, Fitness, Project Management and Hospitality.
- University courses. Many Australian universities offer courses by distance, allowing you to complete them online. You'll still be sticking to the Autumn or Spring semester timetable with assignments or exams, so the course will keep you accountable. You'll have access to a wide range of support services. Check out Open Universities or Charles Sturt University's Distance Education for an idea of the courses on offer.
- Short courses. There are plenty of courses that are measured in days, not years. These will usually revolve around learning a particular new skill, or an intro course to complete before committing to a more intensive one.
- Business courses. Business courses are ideal for anyone wanting to move into a more managerial role, or who want to start their own business. Typically you'll find courses in finance, management, real estate, marketing, sales, insurance, strategic planning, and entrepreneurship.
- Free courses. There's nothing like getting something for nothing, right? The internet is full of free courses, although their quality tends to differ. Many bloggers will offer a free course or ebook in return for signing up to a newsletter, while some websites like Codecademy have a strong reputation for their value, despite being free. Some of the world's top universities, such as Harvard and MIT offer free courses online.
- Distance. This is similar to studying at university, except that you complete all your work online instead of at the tutorial. The bonus is, of course, that you don't have to travel far or disrupt your life to study.
What are the 10 most researched online courses?
We've crunched the numbers on Google and it seems the following
- Photography. Usually BYODSLR (that's bring-your-own digital SLR camera), photography courses can take you through all steps of the process: art direction, using a digital camera, post-production, and more. Some courses may take you through the whole process, while other photography courses may focus on just one area.
- Nursing. Studying nursing by distance allows you to have as little disruption to your current work or home life as possibly, while setting up to work in a secure industry.
- Nutrition. Whether you're looking to become a full time nutritionist, or simply want to make more informed choices about your food, there are nutritionist courses for every level.
- Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA). This is absolutely necessary if you want to work any place that serves or supplies alcohol. Take note that each state has different requirements for the RSA. Neither Victoria nor New South Wales will allow you to complete this course online.
- Management. The art of managing people is a tricky one. Showing you not only have talent but have actively worked to improve your management skills will only impress future employers.
- Accounting. While it might not be everyone's cup of tea, accounting is a vital part of any business. Here's where you get your know-how.
- Beauty. Beauty courses will take you through a range of procedures, such as facial treatments, lash and brow treatments, waxing, nutrition, and more.
- First Aid. These are great as a refresher course or to learn more about a specific area of First Aid. However, if you need to learn how to tie a sling or perform CPR, heading into a bricks and mortar school at some point might be well advised.
- Interior Design. Whether you're looking for a career change or simply decorating tips before a big renovation, there will be an interior design course for you.
- Master of Business Administration (MBA). A popular one with senior management, getting qualified for an MBA will only help your career path down the track.

Frequently asked questions
What are the entry requirement for my course?
This will depend on your course type and provider. Most providers will ask for some kind of prior experience. For a Diploma this may be the completion of high school, whereas for a Master's degree it is more likely to be a Bachelor's degree. The levels of study is a little bit like a tall building, and in order to move up a floor, you first need to complete the qualification on that floor.
Click here for a full guide to levels of study to give you a better idea.
I don't like my course. What should I do?
Well, basically, if you've started a course and don't like it, you have three options.
- Stick it out, knowing that it will be worth it in the end.
- Transfer to something you think you might prefer.
- Drop out.
Obviously option number three should be an extreme last resort. If you're already on a course, then you've probably had to put down a little money to get on it, and if you drop out you'll probably lose that. If you're unhappy with your course try to figure out specifically what part you are unhappy with. Is it the work load? The subject? Is it to hard? The study type? Depending on which you think it is it is worth contacting your course leader, perhaps there are ways to tailor your study to you or to get extensions or different deadlines.
Do employers care which uni I go to?
It would be nice if they didn't, but in a competitive job market, employers do everything that they can to chose between applicants, and this will include the university that you went to. There are various ways of figuring out which university is the best, including official rankings, so if that is important to you then you'll find it. If you don't think that you will get into one of the high ranking schools, don't worry. Your life is going to be what you make of it, if you work hard and seek out new opportunities then you can have the career that you want.
Do I need a Master's degree?
A lot of undergraduates are beginning to wonder whether they might need a Master's degree to help them stand out in the crowd and it is a fair question. The job market is competitive, and more qualifications are always a bonus, however, the real answer to this question should come from yourself and be determined by your field. For example, if you want to be a landscape gardener then you might find that a Master's degree is unnecessary, whereas if you want to an accountant then it could really help. You should also ask yourself, do I want a Master's degree. Committing to two further years of hard study and the debt that goes along with it is a big deal and should not be entered into just because you think it might help later in life.
Can I handle the study?
Again, this will depend. It's good to know yourself before you make the decision to study. How do you work? When do you work? Do you work best in a group or alone? Academic study or practical learning? Classroom learner or learn by doing? When making the decision to study it's important to know that you have many options ahead of you and that you can create or find the path of study that suits you best. And when you think you have found a course that you like it is always useful to try to talk to the professors or course leaders about what to expect. Any information that you have ahead of time will help you to make the correct choice first time and avoid any mistakes.
Do I need my own computer?
If you study online then you will almost definitely need your own computer. It may be possible to study at your library, or on another public computer, but this will restrict your study time greatly. A computer will be a worthwhile investment, and if you're looking to save a little money on one then check the link below.
Click here for our exclusive deals on laptops and computers.
How does credit transfer work?
All courses are made up of credits. You earn credits by taking and passing classes, and when you have earned enough credits you can put them towards graduating from a particular course. Now, occasionally, though not always, it can be possible to earn credits towards one degree, that you can transfer to another should you wish. For example, if you wished to transfer courses then you may be able to take some credits across with you, which will save you a lot of time and money. Or if you study a short course that earns you credit, you may be able to use that towards a higher degree. Each institution has a different policy on credit transfer, so if you're thinking of changing or wondering if you can put credits you have towards a course you're taking then check with your provider.
Education versus experience?
This is the big question for potential students and many hiring managers. Do you hire someone with education or experience? And for potential students, what is more likely to land a job? The truth is that you're going to need both. Thankfully, it's very possible to do both at the same time. Study and work are becoming more flexible. You can definitely study at home in your own time, and you may even be lucky enough to find a good part time or remote work job. Studying and working is hard though, so dig in and get ready, and if things don't work out don't be discouraged, this is all just part of the journey to your dream job.


text: Culture 20 November 1998 Towering imbroglio Film Sign up for our weekly email * It's clear from the opening credits of King Vidor's The Fountainhead that the film is in the grip of phallic dementia. It begins with a skyscraper swinging round to turn into a book - the best-seller by novelist and ideologue Ayn Rand. Rand herself adapted The Fountainhead, and there's no mistake who's pulling the rhetorical strings as a succession of sniffy bureaucrats lecture a monolithic, shadow-cloaked figure about the virtues of mediocrity in the building trade: "Do you want to stand alone against the whole world? There's no room for originality in architecture!" That figure turns out to be the most statue-like of Hollywood heroes, Gary Cooper. He's architect Howard Roark, a man of absolute vision, and by golly he knows it. "A building has integrity, just like a man . . . I set my own standards," he declares. The Fountainhead is less a drama than the illustration of an ideology. Born in Russia, and a hater of the revolution, Ayn Rand dreamed of America as an Eden of individualism. When she got there - becoming first a Cecil B de Mille extra, later a novelist and popular philosopher - she expounded her belief in the sovereignty of the individual. For Rand, the self comes above society, termed variously "the masses", "the collective", "the mob". This leads to some peculiar redefinitions of familiar terms: for Rand, there's nothing more corrupt than "altruism". Hence such bizarre proclamations as Roark's warning: "The world is perishing from an orgy of self-sacrificing." The Fountainhead is unique in classic Hollywood cinema in demanding that its audience accept terms of reference completely alien to the conventional codes. The standard Hollywood hero - usually no stranger to self-sacrifice - is replaced by an Uber-ubermensch who towers (literally) over the rest. Roark, a character inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, won't accept commercial compromise - no neo-classical porticos for his temples. He has a kindred soul in Dominique Francon (Patricia Neal); developing a bizarre sado-masochistic relationship, they are eventually united in their febrile integrity. Pitched against Roark is architecture critic Ellsworthy Toohey (Robert Douglas). Toohey is the pure stuff of totalitarian cartoon - the evil intellectual who exploits the bovine masses (and make no mistake, for Rand they are bovine), a fop with a cigarette holder and wing collar, who speaks like George Sanders with a dash of Brian Sewell. It's a bizarre fantasy - architectural criticism as a fast track to world domination. But in The Fountainhead, architecture is everything. The film is as monomaniac in its world view as David Cronenberg's adaptation of J G Ballard's Crash, in which all desire is channelled through the car. Everything here is expressed as bricks and mortar. Nearly every window shows a forest of skyscrapers - especially the panoramic window of press baron Wynand (Raymond Massey), which dominates a stark modernist vista, a hyper-Manhattan. Edward Carrere's austere, stately art direction makes the theme solid, with a monumentalist oppressiveness that's less Lloyd Wright than Mussolini. Even the eroticism is architectural. Dominique is first seen angrily dropping a statuette out of a window, her fixed marble gaze reminding us of director Vidor's origins in silent cinema; the film's stylised acting oscillates between blank and frenetic, with Neal giving a compellingly neurotic performance. Dominique spots Howard working at a quarry amid a row of men resembling Jacob Epstein statues; their first exchange is set to a background of drilling, a phallic fanfare of musique concrete. Later, in a strange homoerotic contract, Wynand has Howard build a skyscraper in his honour - although even a heavy-handed symbolist like Rand knows enough to keep the word "erection" out of her script. The Fountainhead is, in both its message and its telling, rabidly right-wing, if not necessarily fascistic - Rand was equally scathing about fascism and communism. But it certainly prefigures libertarianism, survivalism and a mass of assertively self-fixated American pseudo-philosophies. The great irony is that it was made under the Hollywood studio system. Roark would rather tear down his own building than countenance the smallest modification. In movie terms, this sounds like a testament of radical auteurism, although Warners, no more than any other studio, wasn't exactly known for sanctifying the director's autonomy. But it was always a tenet of auteurist criticism that a Hollywood director's brilliance often lay in the ability to impose a signature on material that was the fruit of compromise. Which, of course, Vidor has done here, forging a cinematic vision out of Rand's tendentious wordiness. Thanks to the imagery, what might have been mind- numbing oration becomes riveting, especially when the monumentalism spills into erotic frenzy. The tone of unrestrained hysteria completely transcends kitsch, and even the most irony-hardened jaw will drop at the finale, as Neal takes a lift up the world's tallest structure. Waiting at the top is Cooper in his rippling shirt, the worker demiurge dominating the city. It's an image that has less in common with Hollywood than with a film that could have given The Fountainhead its alternative title - Triumph of the Will.

Side Note: if anyone knows of a cheap way to hotswap PATA disks, I'd like to hear about it. Right now I stick 'em in a crappy old box with those $2 removable IDE tray things, and have to reboot that box whenever I'm done copying stuff to the disks. No big deal, but it seems kinda cheesy. :-P
PATA disks are difficult. There is a very slight chance of damaging the interface electronics, and motor driver electronics. There is also a chance of data loss, as it is difficult to guarantee that no write- behind cache is in operation. Finally, the operating system has to be able to disable an IDE device and redetect it, including partition tables, etc - somewhat of a grey area in the Linux kernel from my reading of the kernel sources. If that's changed, please let me know!
There are cheap($30) hotswap caddies with a power switch which removes power from the drive and places the interface bus in Hi-Z state, but this still leaves the caching and operating system disable/redetect issues.

Key lawmakers consider watering down Florida pre-kindergarten program
Advocates had such high hopes when Floridians approved a universal, high-quality prekindergarten program for all 4-year-olds back in 2002.
It's been downhill ever since. You just had to know things wouldn't meet expectations as soon as the bureaucrats removed the "universal" from the program name and stopped talking about "high quality," instead emphasizing the voluntary nature of the classes.
There's yet to be a solid measure of student gains, as no one has followed through with requests to require assessments of children as they enter to see how much they've progressed by the end. Hence the limited interest in the annual pre-k ratings guide that the state recently updated.
And a push to require higher credentials for pre-k teachers has gained little traction over the years despite calls from groups as wide ranging as the Children's Coalition and the Florida Council of 100. Education and business advocates have argued there's no better investment than in early education, to no avail.
So perhaps it should come as no surprise that, in its drive to save some money, the Florida Legislature is eying VPK. Senate Education Appropriations chairman Steve Wise, R-Jacksonville, revealed this week that leadership is proposing to increase the number of children per instructor permitted in a classroom.
By changing the 10:1 ratio to 12:1 -- or 24:2 if a school prefers -- the savings could run into the millions statewide, and over $6,000 per classroom, Wise said. As a trade-off, he suggested, the rules would require the second teacher in a classroom to have a child development associate certification, which isn't the case now.
And to think. Florida's student-teacher ratio has been one of the few things it gets high marks for.

MONDAY, Feb. 23 (HealthDay News) -- A transobturator tape procedure resulted in nearly an 80 percent improvement in urge urinary incontinence, according to research published in the March issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
Samina Tahseen, of the Luton and Dunstable Hospital in Bedfordshire, United Kingdom, and a colleague conducted follow-up interviews, at a median of 13 months, on 58 women who had undergone a transobturator tape procedure. Based on diagnosis, women were categorized into three groups, either having stress incontinence only, mixed incontinence with predominant stress leakage, or mixed incontinence with predominant urge leakage.
Overall, urge urinary incontinence was cured in 43 percent and improved in 36 percent, the researchers report. In the group of women with stress predominant leakage, incontinence was cured and improved in an equal proportion of patients (43.5 percent each). In women with urge predominant leakage, incontinence was cured in 43 percent and improved in 28.5 percent of patients, the investigators found. Stress incontinence was completely resolved in 77 percent and was improved in an additional 19 percent. No cases of de novo urge incontinence were reported, the authors note.
"The transobturator midurethral sling has been shown in this study to improve urge urinary incontinence and overactive bladder symptoms significantly in mixed urinary incontinence and to provide high postoperative patient satisfaction," the authors conclude.

text: Consumers want sustainability results, says survey November 8, 2012 No Comments When it comes to corporate social responsibility (CSR), consumers say they want more than just aspiration-based mission statements, says new research from Cone Communications. The 2012 corporate social trend tracker points out that 84% of Americans hold companies accountable for producing and communicating the results of sustainable responsibility commitments by going beyond the mission to communicate progress against well-defined purpose. Some 40% even say they won't purchase a company's products or services if CSR results aren't conveyed.Read More

by Micha Porat. In the consumer world, making it big is about building brands, not technologies. And from my experience, many Israeli entrepreneurs struggle to recognize what that means.
Two encounters with entrepreneurs over the past month helped highlight for me why successful US entrepreneurs are so different from Israeli entrepreneurs when it comes to consumer products, and why the last really interesting consumer product to come out of Israel is the drip irrigation system approximately 50 years ago (ok – maybe I'm exaggerating a little – but you get the point).
Over the past month I met two companies founded by Israeli entrepreneurs who came up with pretty refreshing consumer products. Not online products. Actual physical products. They had a refreshing perspective. They were innovative. They had a twist on an old industry that hasn't been changed for years. And what were they going to do with it? What help were they seeking from me? They were looking to approach the industry giants in order to license their product technology and make license revenues. Because building brands is tough and costs millions. Because the market is super concentrated. Because they could be easily copied by the bigger players. These are all valid risks, but…
Entrepreneurs – READ UP! Read every word written by Andy Dunn, founder of Bonobos – a massively successful startup that came up with "better fitting, better looking men's pants" (he writes a great blog too). Read up on Sophia Amoruso and her wildly successful Nasty Gal, who came up with "an online destination for fashion-forward, free-thinking girls." Read up on Neil, Andrew, Jeff and David – who created the massively popular Warby Parker, in their mission to "create boutique-quality, classically crafted eyewear at a revolutionary price point." What do they all have in common? They didn't invent nuclear power. They came up with a refreshing look in an old industry, found their twist, their niche, and realized that in today's online world, building a brand is all about approach and execution. They swung for the fences.
After spending a year working with US entrepreneurs, I can't imagine one of them coming to me with a novel idea about a physical consumer product and suggesting licensing it to a GE, GM or Delta. The good ones swing for the fences, because they are looking to build businesses, not license deals. They see the business in building a brand, and head right to execution. Not to fine-tune the technology. Not to perfect the product. To execution – building an online brand and selling product.
So if you have an amazing consumer idea – learn from how others managed to build successful brands and go for it. The road is not easy, but if you see the light at the end of the tunnel, and end up getting there, the reward will make it all worth it.

A village newsagent has been saved from closure by a local developer.
The premises on West Road, Carleton-in-Craven, have been bought by development firm RN Wooler and Company Limited, following the death of the previous owner.
Director Gareth Wooler said: "We're a local, family firm through and through.
"My dad founded our business in 1985 based on the principles of providing quality construction in the local area and beyond.
"Preserving this amenity for the village of Carleton, to which our family has such close connections, always felt like the right thing to do. We hope to make improvements to the shop to make it a viable, sustainable proposition for the future and in line with this we're looking for a suitable shop tenant."
Declan Hayes, a partner in law firm, AWB Charlesworth LLP, who advised the Woolers on the purchase, said: "I'm delighted to have been able to assist in the successful conclusion of the purchase of this vital village resource in order to assure its future."
The project has also been assisted by Michael Beech, of Windle Beech Winthrop, who will act as marketing agent for the shop lease.


text: I need to ship an 11x14 mounted on a 16x20 board. I might wish to ship a 16x20 frame with it if it doesn't increase the costs of shipping it drastically. I was going to just take it, sandwiched in cardboard, into the FedexKinkos store and let them box it and ship it, but my customer lives in rural WY and has a PO box. This leaves USPS, which I have sworn off a long time ago, and last I heard they would not ship frames with glass in them. Anyway, how do you ship mounted/matted or framed photographs?

Our favorite indie bloggers keep one step ahead of the ever-expanding blogosphere with their original content, beautiful photographs and individual style. As a toast to them this holiday season, we have curated our own current Shop Latitude gift list that is just as global and beautiful to share as their blogs are. Here is to you Mimi, Bernadette and Pauline! Happy Holidays!
Images courtsey of Mimi Thorisson
Mimi Thorisson might be able to take the credit for putting Medoc, a sleepy wine region, North of Bordeaux, France, on the map. In 2010, Mimi, her husband and a band of beautiful children and dogs moved in and simultaneously changed not only their own lives, but those that are fans of food and photography when she started her heartfelt and gorgeous blog, Manger. Using the bounty of fresh product, seafood and proper farm to table goods, Mimi cooks up memorable dishes, recalling inspirations from bistro dinners in Paris to a particular evenings dim sum in Shanghai. Photographed by her husband, Oddur and mused about by Mimi herself, she inspires us to throw our own dinner party or start researching the quickest route to Medoc. Last month, Mimi's first cookbook, A Kitchen in France hit bookshops. (It is a perfect gift for any aspiring cook you have on your list!) As a congrats to Mimi, we would love to gift her ourselves! Our picks for Mimi...
Images Courtsey of nosyeux.com and Decade Diary
Known for her stunning and delicate illustrations, Bernadette Pascua is the face behind the strikingly elegant blog, Decade Diary. Her illustrations can be spotted everywhere from fashion magazines like CR Fashion Book, textile patterns for Lizzie Fortunato to clients like Valentino and Dior. We adore everything about Decade from showcasing Bernadette?s sophisticated decorating aesthetic, her dreamy editorial shoots featuring Dries Van Noten, Isabel Marant and Celine, to the beautifully illustrated city guides of Tokyo, Paris and Tulum, complete with the perfect picks for shopping, eating and art. Having just returned from a fall holiday jaunt through the south of France, we imagine, Bernadette is basking in her traveling high. Our picks for Bernadette?
Images courtsey of The Voyageur
Based in Paris, but always on a plane jetting off to somewhere exotic, Pauline Chardin, is a fashion designer cum jet setting photographer behind the blog, The Voyageur. Visit the site to see decadent Sri Lankan temples, the Saharan deserts of Egypt or ancient ruins of Sicily. With a penchant for architecture, Pauline often seeks out independent boutique hotels. Note her picks, she is on to something! As a Parisian, she also offers insight into the city secrets of Paris and around France. Knowing where she has been, we will venture to guess that Pauline is already planning her next destination and might need some Shop Latitude love. Bon Voyage, Pauline!

ROME—A new plan to radically overhaul and streamline Italy's research system has been heavily criticized by many of the heads of the country's research institutes. The plan, put forward by research minister Francesco Profumo, would see all 12 institutes overseen by the research ministry incorporated into a single new entity, the National Research Centre (CNR). Critics say the reform is rushed and threatens the future of fields in which Italy currently excels.
The reform is contained within the budget bill for 2013 agreed upon by the caretaker government of Mario Monti on Tuesday night, and comes on top of proposed major budget cuts at Italy's government institutes, announced in July but not yet implemented. The new plan specifies that the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN), the Italian Space Agency, the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, and nine other institutes overseen by Profumo's ministry would be merged to form a single body with the same initials as that of the largest of the dozen, the National Research Council. A single president would replace the existing institute heads; he or she would work alongside a board of auditors and a single administrative council, the four members of which would be proposed by the research minister.
The reform would also see the creation of two additional bodies—one charged with financing research projects and monitoring their results, and the other concerned with technology transfer.
Profumo's plans, which must be discussed in parliament before becoming law, were attacked by research institute heads in a hastily arranged meeting with the minister yesterday. INFN President Fernando Ferroni, quoted by Il Manifesto, conceded that the current research system is "muddled, hyper-bureaucratic, and difficult to manage" but said that this "rapid reform" was not the way to go about changing it. Speaking of his own institute, he said that "it may have all the defects in the world, but I think it performs rather well in the international market and it has gained a certain reputation."
Writing on a blog on the Web site of Le Scienze, the Italian edition of Scientific American, particle physicist Roberto Battiston argues that the individual research institutes can only operate efficiently if they have "managerial and scientific autonomy" and that the far-larger CNR, in contrast, has developed a "complex bureaucratic apparatus." He says that the reform has been "absolutely not discussed with the scientific community" and maintains that "a provision as important as this must necessarily be contained in a specific law and cannot be masked inside a budget law."
Physicist and science-policy analyst Renzo Rubele of the Free University of Brussels estimates that the parliamentary discussion of the bill will take about 50 to 60 days, a time scale, he says, that could be shortened "if the government wants to appeal to special economic circumstances" such as market conditions.

By Varietal
Intro: This burger was inspired by my love for the traditional field greens salad with fruits and nuts. In my opinion, the only thing missing was a juicy burger and toasted roll.
The inspiration behind this recipe was to recreate some of the flavor found in different chicken sandwiches, but to transform them into a burger style and texture.
This is alternative hamburger recipe.I used chicken breast and bacon grounded together because chicken breast only is a very dry meat.I used a standard outdoor charcoal grill.
The nutty, savory flavor of the Pacific Northwest comes through in this heart healthy taste sensation.
this burger was inspired by my late wife's love for French food, not in the name but in the ingredients themselves. Very classic for the French yet in the all American burger form.
Bonne Femme means "good woman†in French, and the name has been used to describe a French classic dish resembling coq au vin.
When brainstorming ideas for developing a recipe for BBB, I kept coming back to the delicious combination of fragrant wine, strong sharp cheese, and sweet crisp apples.
This burger is a twist on the French classic Coq Au Vin. The blend of flavors from the chicken, wine, mushrooms and bacon is tres bien! Bon Appetit!
NYC has a lot of Asian flavors in its melting pot. These Korean-inspired chicken burgers use traditional Asian ingredients with a twist. For good luck, I
The use of great products like Virginia Ham and Bacon make this alternative burger reflective of the pride of Virginia when it comes to its pork products.
Not just apples and pears are grown in abundance but there are lots of orchards of apricots right in my area of the Hood River Valley.
I have found that kids really love peanut butter, doesn't matter what it's on. This is a balanced flavor that surprised even me.
Having been born and raised in Alabama, I've always been used to fresh and simple ingredients that were either grown in the family garden or easily obtained from the local farmstands, such as the V
Since coming to America, for over four generations my family has called Virginia its home.

Arik Airline's Flight Overbooked, Several Passengers Spotted Standing In Plane
Sept 29, 2012 – Arik Airline's Flight Overbooked, Several Passengers Spotted Standing In Plane
On Saturday 29 of September, 2012 at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos State Nigeria, several passengers of Arik Airline were spotted standing in the plane after an apparent flight overbook mishap. www.naijagists.com
In a Lagos to Benin flight, close to sixteen passengers were spotted standing while others who refused to stand got off the plane in anger.
We learnt some passengers have been waiting at the Airport since 06:30 am in the morning for a flight which was supposed to take off at 7:30am.
The flight was delayed till 11am and finished boarding around 12:00am.
Several frustrated passengers were spotted exiting the John Paul II aircraft in annoyance. See some of them in the picture above.
What would you do if you were to be in their shoes?

The 10 Best Video Game Sidekicks of All Time
Every video game needs a hero. But every video game hero needs a good video game sidekick. It doesn't matter if the sidekick is big or small, human or robot, even alive or inanimate, sidekicks are the guys that heroes fall back on during the tough times. Whether they talk, morph or just hang around, these are the 10 Best Video Game Sidekicks of All Time:
Halo Series
The Hologram sidekick who guides the biggest bad ass in the video game galaxy. The Halo Series' Master Chief wouldn't even know where he was going if it wasn't for his spunky hologram sidekick. It doesn't hurt that she's super sexy, either.
Mega Man Series
Dog + vehicular robot = Awesome video game sidekick. Not only is he a submarine, a hover board and a coil but he's also your companion through battles with every kind of robot imaginable. Starting as a sidekick in Mega Man 3, Rush is truly Robot's best friend.
The Ball
Katamari Damacy Series
The Ball in Katamari Damacy was technically the sidekick to the Prince of the Cosmos. He helped the hero by picking up everything from a pencil to a planet. The Ball was such an important video game sidekick that most people forgot there was even a Prince to begin with.
Ratchet & Clank Series
Clank's never-ending supply of gadgets and witty quips helped Ratchet through some difficult challenges. Clank is an adorable lil video game sidekick with an adorable lil British accent. Let me put it this way: who wouldn't want a British robot sidekick who always has anything you need?
Jerome "Doc" Louis
Punch-Out Series
Doc was a sidekick who never left your side while you battled through countless ethnic stereotypes, from monarchs to circus clowns, and even helped you defeat Mike Tyson himself. He even rode by your side on a bike while you trained. This video game sidekick's bug-eyed encouragement will never be forgotten.
Mario Series
A tiny dinosaur sidekick that can eat anything is a fun idea. Make him ride a go-kart and carry a baby on his back and he becomes a video game sidekick legend. Yoshi could handle things on his own, but by letting a plumber ride him around for 5 console generations, he truly is a wonderful sidekick.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
THE sidekick in arguably THE greatest action/RPG of all time, Navi guided Link and didn't interfere with any game play mechanics, which a bad sidekick tends to do. Sure she's just a fairy, but she gave Link a ton of important information, like "Listen", "Watch out" and " Look".
Roman Bellic
Grand Theft Auto IV
In most video games, you need a strong sidekick. In GTA 4, it takes a weak, spineless family member to remind you of how strong your character is in the expansive landscape that is Liberty City. Roman is a sniveling, cowardly, gambling addict, but Niko's loyalty to his cousin teaches a valuable lesson to gamers and forces them to choose meaningful mission branches to the plot. Plus, you'll never get his accent/voice out of your head. Cousin Niko!
Weighted Companion Cube
Portal Series
Sure, WCC is an inanimate object, but he's just as much of a video game sidekick as any living thing on this list. Like all good sidekicks, he helped you through the levels. Unlike most sidekicks, you had to toss him into an incinerator to finish the game. The WCC's sacrifice for your own good earns him a spot on this list.
Mario Series
Luigi is the quintessential video game sidekick, and he is one of the few sidekicks to have his own solo game. In Luigi's Mansion for Nintendo's Game Cube, you chased around ghosts with a flashlight. It was a critic AND fan favorite… And they STILL went back to Mario. Luigi will always be the first 2nd place, and the absolute best video game sidekick of all time.10 Comments
Speak Your MindTell us what you're thinking... and oh, if you want a pic to show with your comment, go get a gravatar!
What?! navi was the worst sidekick ever. She was the most annoying, pointless and inane creature that ever pestered the hell out of anyone.
"look, listen", She just never shuts up. Her hint system was intolerable!
Agro from Shadow of the Colossus?
I personally like Knuckles, but Tails iz TOTALLY aw3some 2:)
wheres daxter?
no Alyx Vance from HL2. FAIL
I agree with all except Roman. Such an annoying character.
No Tails? You are out of your mind.
This list is complete BS. I kept waiting, sifting through half ass'd sidekicks (Clank and Rush excluded) to see Tails!!! No TAILS??!!! Lame.
Wow OK this makes a lot of sene dude.
Stop spamming. It's getting ridiculous. Jackass.

16-year-old anti-discrimination policy not enforced; committee forms to demand its implementation
A teacher uses class time to talk about how specific LGBT students are going to hell.
A security guard calls an LGBT student a "faggot" within earshot of school administrators, who do nothing about it. The student subsequently drops out.
An LGBT teacher is reprimanded for using his school's video system to disseminate information about the Gay-Straight Alliance.
These are just a few examples of a big problem within the Dallas Independent School District, according to LGBT district employees and members of a citizens committee.
Kristine Vowels is a DISD administration employee who started the committee to address the problem last summer. Vowels said the committee is demanding that the district enforce its 16-year-old policy prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation by conducting staff training and hiring a director of LGBT initiatives.
Committee members plan to meet with district officials Tuesday, March 20.
"This [anti-discrimination] policy that the Dallas Independent School District has means nothing without implementation," said Vowels, who recently completed a doctoral dissertation related to the subject.
The committee is also suggesting that the district adopt a curriculum that's more LGBT-inclusive; extend benefits to the same-sex partners of employees; and create an environment that's more sensitive to transgender students when it comes to names, pronouns, bathrooms and locker rooms.
Ivette Cruz Weis, a spokeswoman for the district, said officials will listen to the committee's concerns and address them as necessary.
"The district does not promote discrimination against anyone regardless of what type of discrimination it is," Weis said.
District offices were closed for spring break Thursday, March 15, and Weis said no other officials were available for comment.
Another member of the committee, Youth First Texas co-founder Bob Miskinnis, said the issue is critical because dropout and suicide rates for LGBT youth are three times as high as for their straight peers. He also said nowadays, many LGBT youth are coming out in their early teens.
"I think our [the LGBT] community hasn't made it the issue it needs to be made, and if we don't, the youth aren't strong enough to do it," Miskinnis said. "I think we have to stand up for them."
Miskinnis said he is "pretty optimistic" that the district will take action.
"I don't think that in the long run, they can do nothing," he said.
Lambda Legal Regional Director Dennis Coleman, a member of the committee, said DISD is not legally required to implement the policy.
However, if it does not, it runs the risk of lawsuits from those who are discriminated against, he said. "The school district has been very lucky," Coleman said.

Describing the negative effects of television on the population of North America.
Television today has actually made many people very reliant on its content. The sponsors also pimp their commercials with sexual tones, even to sell gum. The negative aspects and effects of televison show the discourse and analyzation of a less than normalized life. Television has also become a babysitter for children as young as one year of age. Television has had an adverse effect on the daily lives of the greater population with sex drugs and immoralities.
How stimulating is it to just sit there with eyes glued to the television screen? It's not The brain and body need to keep active on a on going basis and in most cases this is not the fact. While watching television people have put off things to do such as paying bills, dishes, yard work, even going to the washroom for fear they will miss something and due to this people have become zombies where the televison is involved. Then there is the immoral explicit sex that airs on television. Why have X - rated movies when you can watch it on prime time? You see just about as much as you would see on an X - rated movie. Children are exposed to this type of programming and the fact is there are many parents that do not supervise or police the channels their children watch. The violence that is on televison today subjects children to a certain mind set. When something violent happens you can hear out of the mouths of babes, Wasn't that cool? or Awesome.
Another negative issue is the addictive hold it has on the viewer. The adverse affect of this addiction stems from having to have the television on just so someone can fall asleep, or it becomes background noise that has to be heard. Other signs of addiction is the habitual need to watch certain series or shows, such as day time soap operas or a continuing night time series. It also contributes to laziness and obesity to the point of ' becoming a couch potato ' in the literal sense, which also goes hand in hand with obesity. Eating in front of the television has become a ritual in most households across North America. If the person doesn't start to eat when they first sit down to watch television, a commercial about food will suggest they do and that is called the power of suggestion. Usually it is a commercial about fast foods which leads to obesity, lack of physical activity and an unhealthy body.
Finally there is escapism which also has a negative effect on some people that watch television wontedly. They want to escape from the real world and wish they could lead the lives of the characters, or wished they had the characters life. This can be taken as far as doing less of everything because the persons life is boring or uneventful for whatever reason. Doing less of everything isn't living and losing ones self is counterproductive and could lead to serious medical and mental health problems. Leading an unhealthy life due to television could also cause a potentially significant negative effect on ones life.
Television in itself has become extremely boring with its ridiculous slapstick comedies, copycat reality shows and movies. It shows the mind set of the viewers from immaturity to greed and power. It shows the mind set of the people producing the shows and movies as uncreative, status hungry, power hungry and money hungry.
In conclusion, television has control of people and their lives today, young and old. With the sponsors brainwashing the public and television dictating violence and immoralities, it is very difficult to have a normal and functional life. The care giver also needs to give the children more attention and mirror a healthy and productive life away from the television and the negative affects it has, so children will have a loving bond with the care giver instead of the television. I watch television also, but in very small doses. The population needs to find alterative activities for a healthy body, mind and soul for a more normalized life and leave television to an occasional hobby.

Fetch Time Goes to the Snow?
North's happy to announce we're in the middle of a veritable heat wave in SF since he's not a cold weather fan! If you live in a colder climate where your snow bunnies can run and play (and hopefully pee) in the white stuff, try tossing them a snowball. Say you don't have the similarly-shaped toy at the ready, would your fetch loving pets chase a snowball in a pinch?

UCSD Medical Center, Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, Palomar Medical Center and Pomerado Hospital have received national recognition for excellence in health care.
UCSD ranked among the best hospitals nationwide in seven specialties, according to the July 17 issue of U.S. News & World Report. The magazine's annual survey covers 5,189 hospitals.
The medical center is listed fifth in respiratory diseases, 17th in rheumatology, 24th in kidney disease, 32nd in gynecology, 33rd in cancer, 33rd in endocrinology and 36th in urology.
Scripps Memorial ranked 20th in endocrinology and 36th in heart and heart surgery. The hospital recently announced it will be building a cardiovascular institute to beef up its care.
The complete list of awards from the magazine is here:
In another recognition of medical quality, Palomar Medical Center received a Sustained Performance Award from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. The center has complied for 24 consecutive months with the association's Get with the Guidelines program for its cardiac and stroke care.
The association gave Pomerado Hospital an Initial Performance Award for its care of patients with coronary artery disease. The award goes to hospitals that have followed the association's care guidelines for 90 days.
The Get with the Guidelines program emphasizes "evidence-based medicine," ensuring that treatment is backed by sound research, said Dr. Robert Stein, medical director of cardiac services for Palomar Pomerado Health that operates both hospitals.
"Use of the guidelines erases treatment bias noted especially against women, the elderly and patients with risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart failure," Stein said.

Hard Bruised Bleeding Stomach - Conyers, GA
I had vaser lipo on my abs 16 days ago. During the procedure he said I had a lot of fat on my stomach and was not going to be able to take the love handles on the same day. I was okay with that because I was much more concerned about the fat on my stomach. The procedure did not hurt at all. He too 3 and a half canisters of fat out. Which I think is like 5000cc. I'm not sure. The problem... READ MORE

Supermarkets seeking to close the gap between the price of petrol and diesel have announced reductions at the pumps.
Asda, Sainsbury's and Tesco are all knocking up to 2p a litre off diesel prices from Saturday morning.
Asda said that those filling up with its diesel would be paying no more than 131.7p a litre.
This will bring Asda diesel down to its lowest level since February 2011. The price of its petrol remains unchanged at 127.7p a litre.
The move by the supermarkets comes after the RAC called on fuel retailers to reduce diesel prices.
RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: "In the last year retailers have been noticeably quicker to pass on reductions in the wholesale price to forecourts, but we are now seeing an unfortunate blip in that trend where diesel prices are higher than they really need to be.
"There has been talk of the fuel retailers using higher diesel prices to keep petrol prices lower, but whether or not that's the case, the simplest way to operate must be to make sure retail prices always reflect wholesale prices proportionately. This has to be fairer in the long run for both private motorists and businesses alike."

Mick Hutson/Getty Images for Gucci
The already glittering lineup of movies for the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival just got even shinier, with more than 75 new additions.
Among the highlights is "The Armstrong Lie," a documentary about disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong. Director Alex Gibney's film follows the onetime champion in 2009, as he attempts a comeback, and then again in 2013, post-doping scandal.
The festival will also see the world premiere of Guillaume Canet's "Blood Ties," about two brothers -- one just out of prison and the other a cop. The French director's drama stars his romantic partner Marion Cotillard, as well as Clive Owen, Billy Crudup, Mila Kunis, and Zoe Saldana.
Owen headlines another of the new TIFF additions: the world premiere of Fred Schepisi's "Words and Pictures," in which Owen plays a blocked writer who clashes with Juliet Binoche's struggling artist.
Also noteworthy is John Turturro's "Fading Gigolo," which features a rare acting appearance (in a movie not his own) by Woody Allen. The festival will also see the North American premiere of anime master Hayao Miyazaki's "The Wind Rises."
And would a film festival really be a film festival without an entry from James Franco? The polymath will debut his directorial effort "Child of God," an adaptation of a Cormac McCarthy novel.

What I would like to do is to make this plane that I started building over 20 years ago into an electric with ailerons. Not sure how hard this will be to do though.
"Douglas Corrigan was described as an aviator 'who flies by the seat of his pants' today by a mechanic who helped him rejuvinate the plane which airport men have now nicknamed the 'Spirit of $69.90'. The old flying expression of 'flies by the seat of his trousers' was explained by Larry Conner, means going aloft without instruments, radio or other such luxuries."

LA Kings seize 3-1 series lead over San Jose
The Los Angeles Kings regained control of their Western Conference semi-final against the San Jose Sharks with a convincing 3-0 Game Five victory to move one win away from claiming a series triumph.
The defending Stanley Cup champions maintained the series theme of home-ice domination to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven set before the teams return to San Jose for Game Six.
After a goalless first period, Anze Kopitar opened the scoring for the Kings in the final few minutes of the second as he pounced on the rebound of a Kyle Clifford long-range shot to notch his second tally of the playoffs, first in this series.
Stirred by a fanatical home support, the Kings refused to relinquish the advantage and doubled their lead early in the third when Slava Voynov connected from distance just 53 seconds into the final period.
Jeff Carter capped a comprehensive performance for the hosts when he steered the puck into an empty net to complete the scoring.
"I think a good start [was the key to the win]," Kopitar told reporters.
"We can all agree that it was probably our best effort in the playoffs so far. We needed it and we came up big in this one."

Holy ****.
Holy **** indeed. Sucks for Butler, but Kudo's to Brad.
Just one more Indiana born and bread making an impact in the NBA. Way to represent.
It's already been said, but HOLY ****. That is all.
Shocker!!! I though no way would Brad be interested in the NBA.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
What the hell...
Wuh? Well okay then.
Congrats to Brad. I'm not looking forward to all the experts talking about how Butler will fade into oblivion now, not realizing it had a great program several coaches before Stephens.
If they really wanted to tank, don't you think they would have hired Tom Crean?
Not totally surprised though. I always knew that one day he'd get an offer that he couldn't refuse. I just thought that it would be from a premier college program.
Didn't see that one coming.
Wow, congrats to Boston. That's an awesome signing.
Grats to Stevens. I wanted him for Shaw's replacement and I didn't think he'd leave Butler so soon. Man, did he just trump my thoughts. Way to go, way to represent.
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
I'm not sure who Butler gets to replace him. Their lead assistant, Graves, left to coach Southern Alabama. Maybe Michael Lewis, but I'm not sure he's experienced enough yet (although Stevens wasn't either).
This has to be the shocker of the off-season. Wow!
If he was interested in the NBA I would have preferred to have him be the newbie assistant for the Pacers.
Wow, again! Seems like there has been a steadily increasing trickle of young head coaches post-Vogel.

Vegas never saw that coming.. Wow....
I think Butler will be fine but I'm curious why Brad wanted to make a jump to the NBA
Now maybe Purdue can recruit indiana again..
Oh wow. Absolutely unreal.
Great for Brad though.
Still, wow wow wow.
Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
Unbelievable! He's going to have a rough couple years getting this thing off the ground it looks like.

Krutke loves being chief, serving citizens of Prescott
PRESCOTT--It's a story Gary Krutke has probably told hundreds of times.
In 1983, Krutke was working for the United Parcel Service (UPS) in Sheboygan when he made a delivery at a frequent stop of his.
As Krutke told the story, it was around Krutke's birthday, so the occupant said, wait a second, and came back with a birthday gift of a one-quart baggie full of marijuana.
"I never had anything like that happened to me before," Krutke said, as he was in his mid-20's. "It was a test of my character. How would I respond?"
Ironically, his next stop provided the answer. It was the Sheboygan Police Department, where he laid the baggie on a desk of an officer.
"Where did you get this?" the officer told Krutke and, like a snap of the finger, Krutke knew his days with UPS were numbered. Law enforcement, while more stressful, he said, provided an excitement level UPS couldn't match.
He did some undercover work for the Sheboygan Police, went back to school to get his law enforcement degree and, for the last 26 years, has been proud to be a police officer. The last 14 of those have been in Prescott, where he was promoted to police chief in February, to succeed the retiring Mike Bondarenko.
"The first two months have been trying, but now it's been fun again," Krutke explained. He praised the Prescott Police Commission, especially Bill Pryor, and Sheriff Nancy Hove for being great resources, and being a sounding board when he needed some advice.

"Come Again, Little Girl": 32 Films That Begin With Someone Leaving a Mental Institution (1904-2012) | 17 Mar 2016 // 9:30 PM
These 32 films make the case for the recently-escaped-or-released-mental-patient narrative as its own subgenre, replete with a language of recurring themes, plot devices, and character archetypes.
'The Uninvited' Could Be the Nucleus for all American Narrative Horror Cinema | 20 Nov 2013 // 9:10 PM
The disparate influences, caginess, and behind-the-scenes difficulties in The Uninvited make for an intoxicating snapshot of a genre on the verge of popular acceptance.
The Other 'The Uninvited' Must Be About Something... Right? | 11 Aug 2010 // 4:59 PM
I adore Marguerite Moreau, but even my boundless good will for her work can't help her out of scenes where nothing meaningful seems to be happening.
'Uninvited' is an Unwelcome Horror Houseguest | 17 Jul 2009 // 6:03 AM
Sometimes, a horror film is its own worst enemy. While that may sound cliché, no other cinematic genre shoots itself in the foot as readily

Nars Lip Lacquer Reviews
Chelsea girls.i've been wanting to try Chelsea Girls forever, since i heard it was like the holy grail for nude lips. I tried it at my local sephora, did a good application and was immediately dismayed. it's JUST a typical nude lacquer, nothing i haven't tried before. I'm not a big fan of pots, i don't like dipping my fingers inside when i'm on the go (when i then have to wipe my finger and under my nail...) an...read mored being on the go, my lips are not always perfectly moistened and exfoliated. this opaque color will only highlight every dryness. the color also doesn't self-level, so it looks perfect around the outer edges of your lips , but in the inside where your lips are moist, it won't stick. you'd have to do a fair amount of blending and layering to get it looking right. So perhaps if i was a little more high maintenance and exfoliated and used a lip brush and lip base, it would be good. not so sure why everyone loves it so much, perhaps because cult items have a placebo effect on us?! (*p.s. even as a nude lip lover, this color would be hard to pull off, it washes out yellow based skin) perhaps i'll try it again in other colors....but the formula and packaging is still a no for me. — 8 years agolissasioux | 44 reviews
smells really horrible!i tried the chelsea girl color. it's very sticky, and as much as the packaging is cute, it's very inconvenient for application. the thing that bugs me the most is that i hate how it smells! it's the worst smelling lip product i have ever smelt. even when it's on my lips it tastes funny, not that i try to taste it. but other than that i really love the color. — 8 years, 4 months agoangelcake77 | 90 reviews
Baby doll is the perfect pinkIf you are looking for a good long wearing pink gloss baby doll is perfect, it is a little heavier which makes it stay shinier long, and you can wear it alone or mix it over anything else. It is perfect for spring and summer!! — 8 years, 5 months agoSammyJ | 7 reviews

Love the Lacquers!I have every color of this item. I personally love the consistency while other may find it gooey or sticky. I do not. I use my lip brush and apply a little at a time until I have built the level of color I want for the day. This product does not disappear from my lips even after eating or drinking coffee, my lacquer stays put. My favorite color is Chasity, its a beautiful lilac and so complementing on all skin types.

My favorite gloss!I own this product in the Eros color, and it is just fabulous! It's an extremely flattering shade with the perfect ammount of shine and shimmery sheer color, sort of a sheer raspberry with kind of a brownish-caramel hue to it that makes my lips look gorgeous!I've read that some reviewers have called this product "sticky" which I don't think is entirely accurate, I think maybe "thick...read more" or "dense" is a more appropriate term. I actually like the consistency (provided I apply it with a lip brush).I like a little substance to the stuff that I wear on my lips,that way it doesn't slip and slide all over the place! Yeah, the smell of the product could be better, but I've smelt way worse! After I apply it I don't even notice it any way. The only thing I do notice is how great my lips look! — 9 years, 2 months agohankatcar | 146 reviews

The Capucine is the same exact color of my summer nail obsession (L'Oreal Coral Blaze 411). Rather than order the set online, I went straight to Sephora and purchased the lip lacquer. Let me tell you it's true what they say about love at first sight. I never knew lip color until I met Capucine. Although it appears bold and punky in the jar it looks as beautiful as a southern summer sunset when applied. In fact I can't exactly identify it as orange on my lips. Rather its looks like some deeply fascinating yet blurry dot on the windows color matrix, and it brightens all of my features, and compliments my skin tone all at the same time. Surprisingly, this summer my beauty love life is tangled up in orange and although unexpected it's a stunning evolution nonetheless. — 9 years, 2 months agoBeautys_Spot | 50 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

New Delhi: As news of the tragic death of the medical student at a Singapore hospital came in, the Delhi Traffic Police issued an advisory, asking capital residents to avoid roads in and around the India Gate area on Saturday. Rajpath, Vijay Chowk, and many arterial roads around India Gate will remain closed.
Section 144 has been imposed in the parts of the capital. Rajan Bhagat, the Delhi Police Public Relations Officer, said, "Section 144 has been imposed in New Delhi District Area. All traffic is being diverted away from this area. Peaceful protests will be allowed only at Jantar Mantar and Ramlila Grounds. We appeal to the public to remain calm and peaceful."
Ten Metro stations, including Rajiv Chowk, Central Secretariat, Patel Chowk, Race Course, Khan Market, Jor Bagh, Udyog Bhawan, Mandi House, Barakhamba Road and Pragati Maidan will remain closed. However, inter-change facility will be available at Rajiv Chowk and Central Secretariat stations, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation officials said.
The traffic police put out a tweet early this morning: "Entire central Vista including Rajpath, Vijay Chowk and all road (sic) leading to India Gate will be closed for general traffic, Kamal Attaturk Marg also closed. All traveler (sic) advised to avoid these roads."
The case that has incensed India has led to a series of protests in Delhi, with demands for stricter rape laws, security for women, and greater accountability of government and law-enforcement agencies.
Last weekend, the anti-rape protests in Delhi turned violent and police used tear gas, water cannons and batons to combat protesters; an injured constable died on Tuesday.

WHEN you write about travel for a living you get inundated with travel pillows.
Everybody thinks you must be in need of one.
Inflatable ones. Bean-filled ones. Leather ones.
They all come flooding through the letterbox.
They are all U-shaped. They all fit round the back of your neck. And they all have one other thing in common – they don't really work.
The recurring problem is that not one of them stops the inevitable wake-up jolt that comes when your chin hits your chest after you literally nod off.
Until now, that is.
The J-Pillow has an extra limb that sits under your chin and keeps your head up.
It's simple and brilliant. And it works.
The inventor of the J-Pillow, Gemma Jensen, used to be a flight attendant.
She spent years watching passengers failing to nod off. And now she's put her experience to good use.
The J-Pillow costs £19.95, which includes free worldwide delivery.
See jpillow.com for more information. Happy snoozing.

Nobody ever forgets their first love or their first car. Mine was an old, beat-up 1971 Toyota Corolla given to me by my parents. My dad made sure that all its parts were in working order, but there was no doubt the car had some mileage on it. One time, while trying to make it through a mountain pass, I had to move over into the right lane, turn off the air conditioning, and alternately turn on the heater (in 90 degree weather) so that the engine wouldn't overheat. Regardless, I loved that car so much that I named it Herbie after my favorite movie star car of all time. My Herbie looked like a little yellow banana, and just like the Herbie in the movie, I felt my Herbie always looked out for me.
I loved the Herbie films growing up. Watching them again now on DVD with my daughters, I see that their humor and charm have definitely endured after all these years. I find myself still laughing and cheering when I watch The Love Bug. Now with five sequels under its belt (Herbie Rides Again, Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo, Herbie Goes Bananas, The Love Bug, 1997 — which actually IS a sequel and not a remake — Herbie: Fully Loaded, and a short-lived television series) Herbie has had a film career spanning 36 years. My favorite will always be the original classic that started it all.
Starring Dean Jones as Jim Douglas, David Tomlinson of Mary Poppins fame as the villain Peter Thorndyke, Buddy Hackett as Jim's best friend Tennessee Steinmetz, and the beautiful Michele Lee as Carole Bennett the woman Jim falls for (with Herbie's help), this film has an amazingly strong cast. Its storyline — an arrogant and sometimes foolhardy man learning a lesson of humility and true friendship — it may not be new, but given it was a buddy film starring a man and his car? That certainly was novel. People loved it, and in 1968 when it was originally released, it was the third highest grossing movie of the year.
The Herbie movies, similar to the more recent Cars, captures the American fascination with cars as extensions of our own personalities. In the way that I felt about my own first car, Herbie, and many cars since, we like to think that our cars look after us as much as we look after them. There is some instinct we have to project living qualities and human-like emotion on these metal beasts — they are our protectors on the road, and our companions who take us from one place to another. They help us move, haul important things (our families, our stuff) provide places of intimacy, an enclosed space for communication, they grant us freedom. In the modern world, they sometimes serve as full entertainment centers with DVD players, surround-sound speakers, and the likes. They even serve as mini-restaurants (just look on the floor of the back seat of any dad and you're likely to find the remains of a meal or two.)
My oldest daughter Eve was 8 when Herbie: Fully Loaded came out. Now she is reaching the age when she will soon have her own car. As with any dad, my heart beats fast as I think about this reality. I will look to that car more than ever to look after her, keep her safe, give her freedom and all the rest — another Herbie to add to our family tree.
The Love Bug is available at the Disney Store.
