About Sam
I don't find all that much music on YouTube - just the occasional thing that's used as a soundtrack or something and I think "oh hey, that's pretty cool" - but when stuff's recommended to me by a friend or a review site I read, the first thing I do is head over to YouTube and have a listen. If it's not on YouTube, chances are fairly high that's about as far as my search goes and I'm certainly not going to buy any of their music.
(The exception is if they have a Bandcamp and I'm linked that, 'cos Bandcamp is awesome, and I'd love to see more bands using it.)
For demographic purposes, I'm early 20s.
Just watch out for moon robots.
It's not quite as simple as building a rocket in the backyard with your trusty dog.
There was a similar case in the UK a few years back over whether a Jaffa Cake (a British snack consisting of a sponge layer, an orange flavouring, and a chocolate coating) is, in fact, a cake or a biscuit. This is due to some subtlety of VAT rules wherein a chocolate-covered cake is a foodstuff and thus does not pay VAT, but a chocolate-covered biscuit is ruled a luxury item and does.
It was successfully argued that it is, in fact, a cake, and thus VAT exempt, on grounds including a) a biscuit goes soft when it gets stale, while a cake goes hard: a Jaffa Cake goes hard, and is thus a cake; b) the presentation of a 12" Jaffa Cake in court (I can't find any sources for whether the judge sampled it, or merely observed); and c) a number of other vastly less interesting details.
MPs are also holding an inquiry into why exactly the attempt was made in the first place... though the inquiry is being held in secret.
Personally, I don't expect to receive fame or fortune from my open source coding, and it's certainly not the reason behind it. I'm aware that it's good experience, will likely look good on job applications, etc, but I code because I enjoy it and because it solves my problems, and I release my code on the off-chance it might solve someone else's. To some extent my contributions to other projects are also a way of giving back to the community that's built the enormous amount of free software I use on a regular basis.
Clearly I'm being exploited when I contribute to established open source projects, but what if I open source my own work? Am I therefore exploiting myself? Should I pay myself a salary? Anybody know what a reasonable, non-exploitative rate for a low-experience software engineer with inconsistent hours is, so I can start paying myself?
"I mean, this kind of scare mongering has been debunked so many times that you'd think Rob must have to pay someone for rehashing such old news."
Don't be daft. It's hot news that's protected. Rehashing old news is just fine!
Humans are capable of regulating their own temperature; a slice of bacon isn't. Were the internal temperature of a human to hit 75C or whatever, you'd be very dead. You only need a fairly low internal temperature rise to hit hyperthermia (not to be confused with a fever, which is the body raising its own internal temperature to fight infection) - I believe it's only about 40C that's considered a medical emergency for hyperthermia.
And as someone else mentioned, the boiling point of the water in you would be higher than 100C because you're a solution, not pure water, but by that point you'd be much too dead to worry about it.
Other major Android manufacturers have made steps in the right direction, announcing unlockable bootloaders on future phones, but this is certainly the best manufacturer initiative I've seen. As a happy CyanogenMod user, I can only hope more manufacturers put this sort of effort into consumer choice and making available the full capabilities of the OS.
Android applications have to declare what access permissions they have on installation, so any app wanting to do this on Android will state that it can use the camera and microphone. If it's not obvious why it wants access to those, don't install it.
Amazon, too, since it's cheaper than the high street, which is apparently Bad and Evil and Killing the Music Industry.
At least some of the YouTube hits are from VEVO, which is industry-owned, so hopefully (but not realistically, I suspect) that would be exempted from the things to be shut down list.
The Daily Mail is good for a laugh, just as long as you don't think about how many people take it seriously.
My favourite line of the article was this:
"Nine out of the first ten websites which pop up on Google�s search engine are run by pirates who have downloaded Adele�s output and offer it online far more cheaply than official copyrighted sites and High Street retailers."
Out of curiosity, I searched for "adele" to see what would come up. Here are the top ten hits, in order:
1. Official website.
2. News results.
3. Video results.
4. Wikipedia page.
5. MySpace page.
6. Image results.
7. Facebook page.
8. Last.fm page.
9. Some lyrics site's page.
10. Amazon.com.
I'm reminded of a post today on Ars Technica looking at the extent to which people trained in scientific reasoning actually apply it, which is strikingly low:
http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2011/01/college-upperclassmen-still-fail-at-scientific-rea soning.ars
People just seem to be extraordinarily bad at thinking about things critically, relying much more easily on intuition.
The full text of the arsenic bacteria study can be found here if you have a subscription to Science (e.g. if you're at a university):
It's a fairly accessible piece - I'm no biologist and I followed it fine.
The music industry is now DIAMONDS.
I'll start worrying if and only if I see it in a broadsheet or on the BBC. The Daily Express is one of the least reliable tabloids around.
Next up, therapy for alcoholics to be held in bars...?
I should point out that this guy has been writing a column on bad statistics on the BBC News website for months, and is also the author of a rather good book on bad stats called The Tiger that Isn't. He's not citing people responding incorrectly as *the* cause of bad stats, merely one of the many many factors covered in his regular column.

Director Joseph Kosinski's (Tron: Legacy) sci-fi pic Oblivion will be arriving a few months earlier next year. Deadline reports that Universal has shifted the Tom Cruise-fronted Oblivion up to April 26th, 2013 from a previous release date of July 10th. There are currently no other film slated for that April weekend, but The Evil Dead remake opens a couple weeks earlier. No reason is given for the release date shift, but another Cruise film, One Shot, was recently moved up from early 2013 to December of this year.
In Oblivion, Cruise plays a veteran soldier who's banished to the surface of a post-apocalyptic Earth and tasked with repairing ships that hunt down the aliens who destroyed our planet. When a mysterious woman (Andrea Riseborough) crash-lands nearby, their encounter sets off an eye-opening chain of events. The cast also includes Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko and Game of Thrones' Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. Production on the film just began in Louisiana.

Great post and great reminders... I really like the Jessamyn West quote. As for the little notebooks and notes all over the house -- I can't imagine my life without them! (and it is comforting to know I'm not the only one!) Here's to the writing life!

What a lovely essay. I especially love when you wrote, "Writers embrace the oddities, the celebrations and the disappointments of their craft." It's so true, we must embrace it all, because the writing doesn't exist without it all. Thanks for this inspiration on a Monday morning!

A thank you to all of the writers that create the characters that speak to us readers.
I love a book where I get attached to the characters, and feel their emotions. How much stronger your connection to them must be, and how much harder to feel their suffereing, and to walk away at the end...
Thank you.

Nice to meet you, Kathryn. And hello there "bird sister!" Also took me 8 years to publish a short story -- fiction writing doesn't come naturally to me, but I still enjoy challenging myself with stories and characters and such. Can be a great break from the "real" side of life! But you're exactly right. It's a game of keeping at it, as Faulkner used to say. Have a guest editor in SunnyRoomStudio this week (Author Magazine); Bill points out that writers must discover their interests and be true to them. Take care! Sending all good wishes to you and RR :) -Daisy

So, so, so true. This is what it means to be a writer. It is accepting that pain along with the pleasure. What a great a reminder. Goodness, it helps to know that I am not nuts to pursue this passion of mine, you, along with my other fellow writers, get why I continue to do it.
Wonderful post!

This article is from the archive of our partner .
Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan was the main event at last night's Republican Convention in Tampa, and most observers seem to agree that it was a well-read speech ... that had a few problems with the truth. Unlike Ann Romney and Chris Christie, who generally got decent reviews (or the same reviews, anyway) from both sides of the aisle, reaction to Ryan's speech has mostly focused on the facts — many of which have been heavily disputed. Let the fact-checking/Sarah Palin comparisons begin.
Paul Ryan and Condi Rice: A Tale of Two Speeches — Molly Ball, The Atlantic
Ryan's speech was notably heavy on the sort of tendentious distortions that his reputation might have led you to believe he disdained. ... The misdirection and red-meat-tossing seemed to be intentional -- a deliberate provocation to the priggish ranks of the pointy-headed fact-checkers, for whom the Romney campaign recently signaled its disdain. (Although it should be noted that Democrats, too, have taken issue with fact-checkers whose verdicts they dislike.) Ryan is being positioned as the Republican ticket's gleeful, unabashed attack dog, someone willing to take it to the other side without regard for the sniffing of the poo-bahs: Sarah Palin in an ill-fitting suit.
Paul Ryan: Winner — Erick Erickson, RedState
Tonight, Paul Ryan brought Rush Limbaugh's CPAC themes full circle into the next generation with a youthful, smiling face that makes it hard for the Democrats to attack. He related to women, to moms, to small businesses, and to families. ... He appealed to independents and the base. He remains one heck of a pick for Mitt Romney. Paul Ryan is a winner.
Here's a list of some of the whoppers that Paul Ryan served up — Dave Weigel, Slate
So I was in the cheap seats, not on carpet, when Ryan plowed through one of the more impressive strings of whoppers we've seen at this level. Ryan's been doling out chunks of this speech for weeks, which made the fibs sound even stranger.
Paul Ryan's speech in three words — Sally Kohn, Fox News
Dazzling ... Deceiving ... Distracting ... On the other hand, to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention to facts, Ryan's speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech.
Ryan's speech builds trust among grassroots conservatives — Matt Kibbe, Fox News
If any political speech at the GOP convention can bring together Tea Partiers, independents and the Republican faithful, Rep. Paul Ryan's was it. Ryan drew a clear connection between fiscal responsibility in government and economic opportunity for the nation. It's a connection the Tea Party has been making for more than three years, and the Republican Party is finally catching on.
Paul Ryan Fails -- The Truth — Jonathan Bernstein, The Washington Post
But really, the proper response to a speech like this isn't to carefully analyze the logic, or to find instances of hypocracy; it's to call the speaker out for telling flat-out lies to the American people. Paul Ryan has had what I've long thought was an undeserved good reputation among many in the press and in Washington. It shouldn't survive tonight's speech.
Paul Ryan's socialist strawman — Matt Miller, The Washington Post
Just reflecting on those facts versus the fictional dystopia Ryan wants as his foil shows once more how far removed Republican rhetoric is from anything resembling reality.
Republican National Convention Day 2: Winners and Losers — Chris Cillizza, The Washington Post
Ryan's speech was the best written of any we've heard so far at the convention. It was packed with great lines, most of which – particularly in the second half of his speech – Ryan delivered well.
Paul Ryan's RNC acceptance speech stands out on a slow night — Lane Filler, Newsday
All in all, a very mediocre (at times even painful) night, with only Ryan and Rice standing out. Neither are great speakers, but both struck a real chord with this crowd. To be honest, the response still was not the frenzied tumult a real political star gets, even for those two, but it was pretty good.
CNN Correspondents Praise Ryan's Speech, Acknowledge 'Seven or Eight' Factual Errors — Louis Peitzman, Gawker
"A powerful speech" with only "seven or eight" facts to dispute? Sounds like a winner. Erin Burnett agreed — "There will be issues with some of the facts. But it motivated people." And in the end, isn't "precise, clear, and passionate" more important than truthful?
Paul Ryan no Sarah Palin. Dan Quayle, maybe — Mark Brown, Chicago Sun-Times
My first impression: He looks like he'd make a very good congressman. Lucky for the Republicans they've got a responsible adult on the ticket in Romney. ... Paul Ryan is no Sarah Palin either, and I mean that in a good way. More like a smart Dan Quayle, with a cowlick.
Paul Ryan's brazen lies — Joan Walsh, Salon
Interestingly, for all his lies, Ryan didn't repeat the Romney camp's false claim that Obama did away with the welfare system's work requirements. Maybe he ran out of time.
Ryan and Rice: The Most Reaganesque Addresses in a Long Time? -- Jim Geraghty, National Review
Conversational, direct, funny, detailed… this was Reaganesque, guys. I was a kid when Reagan was president, so I got lulled into a false sense of what American presidents were – I thought they were all that good. This felt like that.
Reaganesque at the Republican Convention — Charels Kesler, National Review
Paul Ryan's performance was brilliant. To my mind it seemed Reaganesque, humorously and expertly flaying the Obama administration not merely for failing to deliver on its economic promises but for daring to conceive of Hope and Change as a replacement for America's founding principles
Ryan takes factual shortcuts in speech — Ricard Alonso-Zaldivar and Jack Gillum, Associated Press
Paul Ryan took some factual shortcuts Wednesday night when he attacked President Barack Obama's policies on Medicare, the economic stimulus and the budget deficit.
Paul Ryan's Large Lies and One Big Truth — Jonathan Chait, New York
I have the equivalent of a master's degree in Ryan lie-ology. I've heard many of his lurid fantasies innumerable times and I haven't got it in me to go through it all again — his deep dishonesty largely reflects the fundamental gap between the radicalism of his agenda and his need for public acceptance. I'll merely point out that, even if all the smaller component dishonesties of Ryan's speech were true, the larger points they undergirded were false as well.
Paul Ryan's Hypocritical Attack on Barack Obama — Josh Barro, Bloomberg
The central attack in the speech is one that I agree with: The Obama administration is out of ideas and adrift on economic policies. "They have run out of ideas. Their moment came and went. Fear and division is all they've got left." But the speech did not make the case that Romney and Ryan would succeed where Obama has failed.

The Lindy Hop is an American dance that evolved in Harlem, New York City, in the 1920s and 1930s, with the jazz music of that time. It was very popular during the Swing era of the late 1930s and early 1940s. Lindy was a fusion of many dances that preceded it, or were popular during its development, but is mainly based on jazz, tap, breakaway and Charleston. It is a jazz dance, and is the father of the swing dance family.
In its development, the Lindy Hop combined elements of both partnered and solo dancing by using the movements and improvisation of Black dances, along with the formal eight-count structure of European partner dances. The Detroit Lindy Workshop was first produced in 2012. It is designed to be a fun way to learn jazz dance steps, social dance and to be creative. Lindy Hop has many steps and patterns that allow for movement freedom and a sense of musicality on the dance floor, while learning the art of dancing with a partner.
Paulette Brockington is a world-class dancer who was mentored by the late Frankie Manning, who is considered to be one of the founders of the Lindy Hop.
On the swing dance circuit, Ms. Brockington is a former World Fast Dance Champion, World Swing Dance Champion and Open Hustle Champion. She directs the American Lindy Hop Championships, and coaches and teaches around the world. She has had featured roles in a number of films, the most recent being "A Royal Family Holiday" (2015) with Viveca A. Fox, Debbi Morgan and Tachina Arnold. She is Artistic Director of Detroit's A Company of Dancers. She is on the faculties of WCCCD and the Worship Arts Conservatory and a Master Teacher at Michigan State University.
Paulette Brockington has worked with modern dance, ballet, theatre and opera companies.

New Guidelines Urge Cholesterol Check for All Kids Ages 9 to 11
Recommendations a shift from testing only children with family history of heart disease
URL of this page: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_118606.html
(*this news item will not be available after 02/09/2012)
Friday, November 11, 2011
The recommendations are a major shift from current guidelines that suggest such testing be done only for children who have a family history of heart disease or high blood cholesterol, which is one of the major risk factors for heart disease.
Meant to improve children's heart health and reduce their future risk of cardiovascular disease, the new guidelines also recommend that children and young adults have their cholesterol levels checked again between the ages of 17 and 21.
In addition to more widespread screening for cardiovascular trouble at younger ages, the guidelines suggest parents make healthy lifestyle choices for their children, such as breast-feeding, a diet low in saturated beginning at age 1, regular physical activity and protecting children from tobacco smoke.
Cardiovascular disease is rare in children, but risk factors that may be present in childhood can greatly increase the risk of developing heart disease in adulthood, experts note.
The new guidelines were written by a panel sponsored by the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and are endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). They will give health-care providers an integrated plan to deal with all the major cardiovascular disease risk factors as part of regular child health visits, according to the AAP.
"The more we learn about heart disease and stroke in adults, the more we know that the process begins in childhood and progresses over time," Dr. Stephen R. Daniels, chairman of the panel that reviewed the guidelines, said in an AAP news release.
"By working with families, we can keep kids at a lower lifetime risk and prevent more serious problems in adulthood," added Daniels, who is head of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
The cholesterol screening recommendation is a significant change from the previous guidelines released in 1992, which suggested screening only for children with a family history of heart disease or high cholesterol.
In May, the National Lipid Association made a similar recommendation, calling for all children to be screened for high cholesterol when they're 9 to 11 years old. That group also urges that children with a family history of premature cardiovascular disease or elevated cholesterol be screened for cholesterol with a simple blood test as early as age 2.
In January 2010, a report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 20 percent of American children and teens have abnormal lipid levels -- an indication of too much bad (LDL) cholesterol, too little good (HDL) cholesterol or high triglycerides, which are blood fats.
"Obesity may be linked to these high levels," Ashleigh May, an epidemic intelligence service officer with the CDC, said at the time. "Forty-three percent of obese youth are eligible for therapeutic lifestyle counseling, and 22 percent of overweight youth were also eligible. We really need to identify youth early who have these abnormal lipid levels so we can reduce their risk for later heart disease."
The obesity epidemic in the United States has now left one out of three children overweight or obese.
For the widespread screening called for in the new guidelines, doctors can use a non-HDL cholesterol test that does not require children to fast. Children with abnormal results on this test should be followed up with a fasting lipid profile, according to the guidelines.
The widespread screening now recommended should more accurately identify children who are at high risk of cardiovascular disease so doctors can take action to help them, Daniels said.
Lifestyle modifications -- such as a healthier diet and more exercise -- would be recommended for most children with high cholesterol. Less than 1 percent of them would quality for cholesterol-lowering medications such as statins.
The new guidelines were published online Nov. 11 in the journal Pediatrics and as a supplement to the journal's December print issue.
"We're aware that pediatricians have a long list of things they have to address as part of health promotion and disease prevention. This is really an important part of what should be on that list," Daniels said. "We as pediatricians really need to get kids started on the right track and keep them in as low a risk category as possible."
Dr. Daphne Hsu, chief of pediatric cardiology at Children's Hospital at Montefiore in New York City, said,
"Screening children for high cholesterol will identify children who are at risk for coronary disease later -- that's true. But screening without encouraging people to do something about it would be worthless.
"The first approach to lowering cholesterol is always diet and exercise," she said. If screening can help motivate children to lose weight and eat a healthy diet it's worthwhile, she added.
However, Hus doesn't think that children should be taking statins to lower cholesterol.
"The recommendations are not to use statins in children except in a very specific high-risk group of patients with a genetic problem where they have an inability to metabolize cholesterol," she said.
Angela Golden, incoming president-elect of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, said: "This screening will provide an opportunity to discuss with each child and family specific lifestyle changes that can improve their lifetime cardiovascular health. Partnering with children at this age in making good lifestyle decisions may provide the best health benefits for life."
Dr. Roya Samuels, a pediatrician at Cohen Children's Medical Center in New Hyde Park, N.Y., added: "Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality among Americans today. Although quite common in the adult population, CVD is a rather rare condition in childhood and adolescence. Measures of prevention during childhood, however, may be very helpful in stopping the development and progression of heart disease later on."

Robert Frost
San Francisco
United States of America
Robert Lee Frost was one of America's best-known and best-loved poets. He was born on March 26, 1874, in San Francisco, California. His father was a journalist. His mother, who was Scottish, was a schoolteacher. She loved poetry and sometimes recited it to Robert and his sister.
When Robert's father died in 1885, the family went to live with Frost relatives in Lawrence, Massachusetts. They moved to Salem, New Hampshire, when Robert's mother began teaching school there. Robert went to his mother's school and then to Lawrence High School. His first poetry was published in the Lawrence High School Bulletin. Robert and his high-school sweetheart, Elinor Miriam White, were at the head of their class when they graduated in 1892. They both gave valedictory speeches at graduation, and Robert wrote the words for the class hymn.
Robert was given a fellowship for Dartmouth College, but he found he did not like the routine of college life. After a few months he returned home. He helped his mother at school and worked in a mill. His first poem published professionally was "My Butterfly," printed in the weekly newspaper The Independent in 1894.
Robert and Elinor were married in 1895, and both taught in the private school Robert's mother had just started. A child, Elliott, was born in 1896. The next year Robert entered Harvard, planning to earn his teacher's certificate. In his sophomore year he became ill and left college. A second child, Lesley, was born in 1899. Elliott died in 1900.
Elinor persuaded Robert's grandfather to buy a farm for them in Derry, New Hampshire, where Robert could write poetry. After three more children were born, Robert began teaching part time at Pinkerton Academy. He also taught for a year at the New Hampshire Normal School in Plymouth. Then he made an important decision. He would leave teaching in order to have more time to himself. He and his wife also wanted to travel. Robert chose Vancouver, and Elinor chose England. They tossed a coin, and England won. So in 1912 Robert Frost took his family to England.
A Boy's Will was published in London in 1913. North of Boston followed a year later. Both books were given very good reviews. Edward Thomas, whose review in the London Daily News was most important in pointing out Frost's worth, became the closest friend Frost ever had. They spent long hours walking and talking together in England.
The Frosts returned to America in 1915 and bought a farm near Franconia, New Hampshire. American editions of Frost's first two books appeared in 1915, and in 1916 Mountain Interval was published. Frost was invited to read and lecture in schools and colleges. In 1917 he began teaching at Amherst College. In 1920 he helped found the Bread Loaf School of English at Middlebury College. In 1921 he became poet in residence at the University of Michigan. All the rest of his life he was to keep in close touch with college students, either as teacher or as visiting poet. He received honorary degrees in 1924 from Yale University and Middlebury College. Many more followed. That same year he received the first of his four Pulitzer prizes for poetry.
In 1938 Elinor Frost died. Frost sold the house in Amherst, Massachusetts, where they had most recently been living and a year later moved to Boston. For the next 3 years he taught at Harvard as the Ralph Waldo Emerson Fellow in Poetry. He bought a house in Cambridge and a farm in Ripton, Vermont. Many visitors came to see him, and he had many invitations to read his poetry. His description of a poem—"it begins in delight and ends in wisdom"—describes his talk, too. He wrote and spoke in simple language with quiet humor, yet he was wise in the ways of the world.
When the United States Senate passed resolutions honoring Frost's 75th and 85th birthdays, it was clear that Frost belonged to the whole nation. In 1960 President Kennedy asked Frost to read a poem at his inauguration ceremony. It was a high honor for the poet. He had chosen the freer life in order to write his poetry, and his choice had been proven right. As his poem "The Road Not Taken" says, he had taken the road less traveled by, and that had made all the difference.
Robert Frost died on January 29, 1963. At the time of his death he had 11 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. His farm home at Ripton, Vermont, was bought in 1966 by Middlebury College to be kept as a memorial to the great poet.

For the week ending 27 June 2009 / 4 Tammuz 5769
I'll Dance at Her Wedding
The parents of a young girl severely wounded in a traffic accident came to the home of the great Rabbi Chaim Kaniefsky to ask him and his wife to pray for her recovery as she lay unconscious in the hospital. Two weeks later they came to give the good news that the 14-year old girl had finally come out of her coma.
What were the first words she uttered? "Ima, how long was I unconscious?"
Why did she have to know?
Because a while back she had made a resolution to each day learn two laws of Shmirot Halashon (Guarding the Tongue) and she wanted to know how many days she had to make up.
When this was emotionally reported to the Kaniefskys, the rebbetzin declared, "I'll yet dance at her wedding!"
While having such a highly respected woman dance at her wedding would be a great honor, there was little likelihood of this severely wounded girl getting married after undergoing the many operations in store for her. But recover fully she did in the most miraculous fashion – and Rebbetzin Kaniefsky kept her promise and happily danced at her wedding.

|Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation, Soap & Glory Kick Ass Concealer and Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer
Lightweight and like the name says, looks like skin. Blends effortlessly and has a light to medium coverage. It is best suited to normal/dry skin. I really like this foundation, in fact I love the range of Bobbi Brown foundations as there is something suitable for everyone. Considering I am shade 3 in the colour range (I have a light/medium skin tone) which is the 5th shade from lightest, there are plenty of shades to try - Alabaster (0) being for the fairest skin and going to deep dark skin with Chestnut (9), a total of 16 shades!
Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer - £5.49 Boots
This has what Rimmel are calling an 'Anti-Fatigue Effect + Radiant Glow' which is supposed to make your skin look brighter and more awake. What that means in reality is that there are teeny tiny light reflecting particles in the product which bounce light off your skin creating to effect of radiance. Does it work? Yes it does. I like to use it under my eyes because of this, my permanent dark circles could do with a bit of brightening up. I don't use it on spots though because I don't want to be doing any highlighting of them. The coverage is pretty good, most people would find it substantial unless you are like myself - the only thing that is going to rid me of dark circles completely is Photoshop.
Soap & Glory Kick Ass Concealer - £10 Boots
This is a creamy concealer which includes two shades plus a setting powder and powder puff. The lighter shade of concealer is a bit more whipped and creamy as it is supposed to be used under your eyes to brighten them up and the texture making it easier to apply with no drag. The darker colour is supposed to be used on blemishes. I'm not too keen on using it under my eyes as it can look a bit crepey and sit in the fine lines due to my dry skin. It does work really nice over spots and blemishes though as it melts into the skin seamlessly. The powder is way too light and doesn't look like a transparent powder at all to me so that bit in my opinion is useless to me plus it is not as finely milled as I like. The colour range is appalling too, there are only two colour combinations to choose from, leaving anyone who has dark skin left out.
|MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural, Topshop Blush Head Over Heels, Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner,
No 7 Lash Adapt Mascara
I've been using this powder for ages now. It is a great colour match for my skin tone and the powder is really finely milled. You can use it super lightly or apply it heavier. I've even applied it on it's own to even out my skin tone when I was in a rush. You get a ton of product in the pan too so even though it is quite expensive, you wont need to repurchase for a good while. There are 10 shades in the range and many people may find that they can cross over two colours because they are sheer.
Topshop Blush in Head Over Heels - £6
Topshop blushers are becoming really popular and I really like them too. This one is my favourite one because it gives a lovely natural glowy colour or you can build it up to become stronger. I love how the Topshop blushers set and still retain a slight dewiness. For the price of them, you can't really go wrong.
Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner - £14
I love a really inky black non flaky/smeary/runny eyeliner. I'm a fan of the feline flick so I need something that will stay put all day and not rub off if I get hot or run if my eyes water. I used to use a MAC Superslick but this one is cheaper and performs the same. It also has a different applicator, this one has a fine brush so you can get really thin lines but may require more practise and the MAC one has a tapered sponge applicator. I always found that the sponge would make me draw the line a bit thick at the flick and I'd have to remove and redo. This is one better for me. Oh and a lot of people find liquid liner hard to do, I've never had much problem with it but find pencil liners really hard to use unless I smudge them haha. The long handle of this one does make liquid much easier, it is like using a pen.
No 7 Lash Adapt Mascara - £12.95
This is a mascara I have really enjoyed using. It makes my lashes so full and voluminous. It doesn't flake on me and barely moves if I have watery eyes. Obviously it is not waterproof and it failed the onion chopping test (which my boyfriend found hilarious) but honestly, I don't like waterproof because it is so damn difficult to get off and I hate rubbing my lashes with remover. This one suits me perfectly well and even though it doesn't beat my favourite mascara, Chanel Inimitable Intense, Lash Adapt gives me just what I want from a mascara and the price isn't too bad. Oh and it lasts well too, usually a tube of the Chanel will dry out in a few weeks, making it useless. My Lash adapt is almost empty and I've used it for the past 3 months.

No need to wait any longer: The first exhibition of the project will open on the 20th of June at Bildmuseet in Umeå. Kirunatopia / In the Shadow of the Future will show the works of twelve international and Swedish artists based on the town in transition. The curatorial team for the exhibition consists of Kim Einarsson, curator of Kirunatopia and director of Konsthall C in Stockholm, and Brita Täljedal, curator at Bildmuseet in Umeå.
The Bildmuseet has recently moved to its new location and building within the Arts Campus of Umeå University and is led by director Katarina Pierre since May 2011. It is a part of the University and is administered in the same way as the other departments on the campus, which constitutes an exception in Sweden. The museum is also open to the public. "That is amazing", explains Katarina Pierre, "because it means we can easily cooperate with the students, institutes or the Art Academy."
In conjunction to Kirunatopia / In the Shadow of the Future, she is planning a program that includes talks with researchers and theorists from the University about their work in relation to the exhibition, as well as lectures and workshops held by guests at the University or other institutions.
The move of the museum plays an important role here. "From now on, we are next-door neighbors with the Institute of Design, the School of Architecture and the Academy of Fine Arts situated right at the Umeå River", says Pierre. All of these institutions have separate buildings, but are connected to each other underground.
International contemporary art is the main focus of Bildmuseet. But besides that, according to Katarina Pierre and Brita Täljedal, the specific location of the Bildmuseet should be reflected in the museum's program.
Friday, April 13. 2012
Coming up in June: Kirunatopia@Bildmuseet

Culture clash
Can't face another mulled wine? Try these traditional warming beverages from Mexico, Tibet and Turkey.
Hot and spicy
Hot chocolate is a classic, obviously, but only Mexicans drink it thickened with cornflour, and flavored with orange peel, spices and ground nuts. A favorite long ago with Aztecs and Maya, it's called champurrado.
Hot and greasy
Black tea, salt and yak-milk butter … To the Western palate, Tibetan butter tea tastes like greasy broth, but fans rave about its warming effect and drink up to 40 cups a day.
Root drink
Traditionally, the main ingredient in sahlep, a hot, milky beverage from Turkey, is the ground root of the wild orchid. But because this particular orchid is a protected species today, sugar, cinnamon, coriander, coconut, pistachio and cornflour are used instead.

A Denver couple decided to change their baby's diaper in the seating area of a Starbuck's when they realized the coffee shop's restroom wasn't equipped with a changing table. Ruth and Alex Burgos were making a Friday night coffee run with their 1-year-old son Thiago when they were faced with the must-change nappy.
"As a mother, you have to do what you have to do. Wherever you have to do it," Ruth told 9News. "I just kind of wiped him off, cleaned him off as quickly as I could."
A Starbucks employee was displeased by the Burgos' choice and tossed a rag at the couple while shouting out rude comments. "You better clean that seat," the barista said, and then proceeded to laugh with fellow employees.
The father Alex was irritated by the employee's demeaning tone and dumped his drink onto the floor and said, "You make sure you clean that up," according to USA Today.
One of the employees called 911 and cops came onto the scene. No arrests were made. Starbucks has since apologized to the Burgos family.
This story raises the question, What is appropriate and inappropriate when it comes to changing diapers outside the house? I think it all depends on the situation, the severity of the diaper (wet or dirty?) and how discreetly it can be changed. Parents need to use their best judgement. But generally, I think you should always aim to change a diaper in a private place and it's an especially bad idea to change a dirty diaper in a public place where people are consuming food and beverages.

Dramatic Dog Rescue from Blackheath Pond
Last night (Monday 13 July) the Fire Brigade had to be called to rescue a three-legged Staff terrier from the pond in South Row. We just happened to be passing by at around ten past ten and heard this terrible howling.
We don't know how the dog got in there, but because he has only one back leg he couldn't get out again, due to the steep concrete side. Last seen, the dog was on a string lead, walking two firemen down to Lee Green fire station while the fire engine followed!
Perhaps someone knows who the dog's owner is?
At least it wasn't a three legged ferret…

2004-10-01 [Hilinia Marionel]: it sounds kind of , well actually quite evil
2004-10-02 [Operation Latte-Thunder]: wow, u guys have bad bad bad japanese, its konichiwa*, wow, thats horible
2004-10-02 [Ocean Dreaming]: *dies of laughter* Honey, first of all, it's romanji. Second of all, HOW you transliterate kanji and kana depends on the system you use. TECHNICALLY speaking 'konnichiha' is a damn lot more correct than 'konnichiwa' because the Japanese -write- a 'ha' rather than a 'wa'. You live in Japan, you should know that.

2009-12-06 [SilverFire]: Is there a URI I can list which would take each member to their own diary page?
2009-12-07 [Hedda]: Yes:
But I actually think it's better to tell them to press the button on top instead. Maybe both.
2009-12-08 [SilverFire]: There should probably be something about writing reviews here, too. I'll add that later.

This upcycled pendant light Shannon South is a really lovely way to use those vintage doilies you have passed down from your grandmother.
The warm and pretty atmosphere this piece creates would make it a nice addition to a living or bedroom. Or college-goes, how sweet would this look in your dorm room?

text: June 17 marked the first anniversary of the death of investigative journalist Michael Hastings. The Last Magazine is a posthumous novel and scathing satire of the corporate news media based on Hastings' time at Newsweek. We are joined by Hastings' widow, Elise Jordan, who brought the book to life after coming across the manuscript following her husband's death.


text:
I'm starting to think that the federal government is following the slapstick script used by the province to sell the HST as it tries to revive the prospects for an oil pipeline from Alberta to the coast.
How else to explain the Keystone Kops moment when the pride of the oil-cleanup fleet in B.C. ran aground on its way to the press conference Monday where it was scheduled to be a prop in a photo-op?
The press conference was held by Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver and Transport Minister Denis Lebel to announce a range of measures designed to create what is being billed as a "World Class Tanker Safety System."
The "world class" label line dovetails nicely with one of the demands from Premier Christy Clark for "world-leading marine oil-spill response, prevention and recovery systems."
The grounding of Burrard Cleaner No. 9, however, seems strictly bush league.
The 23-metre-long oil-skimming vessel was on its way from its home port of Esquimalt to the press conference in Coal Harbour when it hit what was described as an uncharted sandbar off Sand Heads at the mouth of the Fraser River.
Centuries of silt carried down the Fraser have created a shallow bank that extends well out into Georgia Strait. There may be uncharted sand banks but the area is well charted and it shouldn't have taken more than routine care and attention to stay clear of the danger zone for a vessel that only draws three metres. Especially since it wasn't heading up the river and had no reason to get too close.
When last I checked with the company that operates the vessel, the incident is still under internal investigation, including the crucial question of why it was in an area that would have been so easy to avoid.
The ship floated off on its own with apparently no damage to the vessel but what may be irreparable harm to the federal government's attempt to change the narrative around shipping oil along the B.C. coast.
In a less heated atmosphere, it might be possible to use the incident as an example of the need for some of the measures that were trotted out Monday, including a review of aids to navigation and improvements in ship traffic control.
But Twitter lit up with the giddy reaction from pipeline opponents who see it as more proof of their position, which is that even when the spotlight is on, accidents will be inevitable when humans are involved, no matter how good the technology is.
The fact that this was essentially a small vessel not subject to all the regulations tankers will face will no doubt be overlooked.
It's unfortunate that the initiatives announced Monday will rightly be seen as a public relations exercise. Rightly because they come on the heels of the closing of the Kitsilano coast guard station and other cost-saving measures and because the shipping-related initiatives were announced in the context of trying to refloat the government's hopes for a way to expand the export market for Alberta bitumen.
The announcement Tuesday of the appointment of Vancouver-based lawyer Doug Eyford as an envoy to consult with First Nations about energy projects confirmed that context.
Yet both the focus on tanker safety and the Eyford appointment are useful measures in their own right, if somewhat overdue. It's doubtful that either has come in time to save the Northern Gateway Project, given the entrenched positions taken by First Nations and other opponents and the ham-fisted way Oliver and his federal colleagues tried to vilify legitimate opposition early on.
But both measures are still crucial for the future. One of the lessons that should be apparent from the Northern Gateway experience is that no project of this magnitude can be undertaken without substantive buy-in from First Nations early in the process.
And even without the increase in oil tanker traffic that the Northern Gateway Project would bring, we need a "world-class" tanker safety system to deal with the hazards from existing traffic.
According to a backgrounder handed out with the announcement Monday, there were about 1,500 tanker movements on the West Coast among 475,000 vessel movements in 2009-10.
Many of the ships that carry other cargo also have significant quantities of fuel on board that cause serious damage in the case of an accident. In fact, the only significant spill in the past 20 years has been from the BC Ferries' Queen of the North when it went down in 2006.

Four friends from Melbourne fly to Perth to begin the very exciting WA roadtrip in a superduper 6 berth campervan. It was summer and we were so pleased with the air conditioner to cool us down during the hot summer days. We travelled to wineries, stunning beaches and amazing Monkey Mia where we got up close an personal with some local dolphins. What a fun trip and travelling up the coast in a campervan was the best! We got a good catch through Fetch! Easy and well coordinated!

A updated GPS,additional power point for the lap top, a proper tv & antena would have made our trip even better.We have nothing to complain about the vehicle or the service we received from the company but to recomend to anyone who wish to rent a motor home from fetch. – Dewapriya W - booked on Fetch Motorhomes New Zealand
Van was brilliant, good to drive. Had no concerns at any time. Would recommend, infact I already have to people. Value for money, yes, no need to shop around now I have found you guys. Thank you again, your service was the glue to our trip :D
Paul R - booked on Fetch Motorhome Australia
10 days, two kids under 3 and my parents in an RV. We were apprehensive but all in all it was fantastic. Two separate areas for the adult couples and plenty of room for the kids to run off energy. The company gave us a great deal for being from overseas and they were easy to work with - lots of good communication. Only downsides were that initially on return we were looking at a repair bill for some damage that was done prior to us - but this was fairly quickly resolved AND we woefully underestimated how much gas these things use. While they will do 65MPH on the flat, this rapidly dissapates when you show it to any sort of grade. Would we do it again...yes, but probably not with very young kids. However, if we did we would thoroughly reccommend FETCH and ROADBEAR.- Dion P booked on Fetch RV Rental USA
We booked an RV through Fetch with some hesitation as it was our first RV trip ever, first proper road trip in the States and we had come across some nasty fine print when enquiring with other companies.
Fetch made the booking process easy, and no question was too much, which was great considering we were so fresh and asked a lot of questions.
The pick up was easy, although it would be good to have some better connections to the location, as it was about 15-20 mins by cab from the train station at Worcester. We did have to wait while a handover ahead of us was being completed, and so it all took some time longer than we had been told, but we have now realised this is just part and parcel with hiring an RV, and this time needs to be factored in when picking your dates.
The RV was easy to drive and after a couple of days of hiccups with getting used to the equipment (sewerage valve/pipe etc) and realising you can't leave the radio on all night, and a falling off water tank, all went great.
When the water tank needed to be fixed, the emergency number organised for us to drop it off at a local service centre who then helped us to continue our sightseeing for the day with lifts to and from our destination, and it was all ready to go when we got back in the afternoon.
Handover back again was easy enough as well, but again a more dedicated taxi service or shuttle or similar to the local train station would have been useful.
Our trip took in Newport and the lovely houses and beaches there, and Cape Cod where i recommend the 'Rail Trail' where you hire bikes and ride the length of the Cape on the old railway line, now converted into a flat lovely bike path.
We then went across to Newhaven Connecticut to visit with friends, and then up to Vermont. Route 100 is delightful, and the Quechee Gorge area lovely to stay. We also went to New Hampshire and drove around the White Mountain National Park - the Kangamangus Highway is also lovely.
We recommend local beers and ciders, and local produce - everywhere we went we tried whatever the locals told us, and didn't miss the mark once. Our only regret is we didn't have enough time to see more of the area, and to stop at the areas we did stop at longer.
All in all a great trip, and thanks to Fetch for making it easy. - Mel B booked on Fetch RV Rental USA

Srilanka Parliament Polls begins
Srilanka parliament polls to be held on 8 April, 2010. So far many political parties have handed over their nominations for each district. However UNP and new JVP alliance (DNA) not yet finalise the nominations and will be expected to handle on the final day of handing over nominations.
JVP and other political parties except UNP who were supported General Sarath Fonseka in the last Presidential polls entered in to a new alliance under the leadership of General Sarath Fonseka. Sarath Fonseka will be contested on Colombo District in this polls.
Meanwhile UNP decided contest to the polls under their historical 'Elephant Symbol' and the leadership of Ranil Wickramasinghe. JVP and UNP discussions on contesting under one alliance have been failed and UNP not entered in to JVP alliance. Many UNP parliamentarians said that they should contest under UNP as UNP is the Srilanka's largest and oldest political party.
Although JVP and UNP contested separately their main intention have not changed and will enter in to a new alliance after the polls.
Meantime Government type says thay are in a stronger position after the winning of presidential polls by President Mahinda Rajapaksha. They also says that thay are expecting majority of seats of next parliament.
