Let me tell you a secret that probably wasn't a secret to anybody who has had the misfortune to see my face in real life - I don't spend a lot on make up. I love make up, and enjoy wearing it, when I'm going out, sometimes for work, but not just to pop to Tesco (I live in Essex, they don't deserve my full effort). I think I've got a good balance. But much as I enjoy make up, I'm usually strictly a budget - mid range kind of gal. I'll go to Miss Sporty and Collection 2000 first, and stretch to Rimmel or very occasionally Barry M if the circumstances warrant it (I appreciate this is undermined slightly by my reviewing a BB cream recently that cost the same as two days return to travel to London, but I swear, it's a rarity). Oh, and my Urban Decay Naked pallet, which was expensive in initial outlay, but not usage, as I wear it pretty much every day and night that I wear make up.
However, there's one area of cosmetics in which few holds are barred for me, and that's mascara. You see, I've always hated my eyelashes. They're white, they're thin, and they point downwards - no natural curl for this gal. Clearly when God, or Morrissey, as he is properly known, was handing out luscious lashes, I absent from the queue. I've been offered many opinions over the years as to why I'm still single, and being that I have fabulous hair and unimpeachable taste in music, I've come to the conclusion that it must be my faulty eyelashes which are to blame. I usually have about three different mascaras on the go, because whenever a new ones comes out, making all sorts of wild promises about length and volume and curl, I fall for it. Every. Single. Time. Call me an optimist. I probably still don't go crazy with how much I'm willing to pay for a single mascara, but I splash out occasionally. I spent £30 on a Guerlain mascara years ago in Berlin; hated it. Max Factor disappointed, as did Urban Decay. I have a sample size Smashbox mascara I got in a free gift which is only OK. Which brings me to my latest extravagant miracle purchase - Magnifibres.
Magnifibres promises to add volume, plus up to 5mm in length. The product is described as "brush on false lashes" and one thing I'll grant them is it's certainly unique. Once you slide open the extravagant cardboard cylinder, inside is what looks like an ordinary tube of mascara, but unscrew the cap and it reveals a fairly slender mascara wand, covered in what looks like spider webs. These are the titular fibres. This is how it works: you apply one coat of mascara, then immediately apply the Magnifibres (your lashes need to still be tacky), as you would regular mascara, then wait for 30-60 seconds for the fibres to bind and apply a second coat of mascara, to cover them up. The fantasy result? Supposedly, longer, thicker lashes, without resorting to falsies. The reality? Well, judge for yourselves. If my technological skills stand up to the challenge, then below top you'll see a photo of my largely unimpressive left eye, dressed up in two coats of Rimmel's Scandaleyes mascara (with a brief intervention from some eyelash curlers), and below bottom, my right eye (see what I did there), with two coats of the same mascara and the Magnifibres applied in between, also with a touch from the curlers.
The difference, as you can see, is....infinitesimal. The Magnifibres packaging says you can apply just to the tips pf your eyelashes for a more natural look with added length, or all over for volume and up to 5mm increase in length. I used Magnifibres all over, and if you look hard, you'll see the lashes on my right eye do appear to be very, very slightly thicker near the base, but that's it. No extra length or curl, and I do not look like I am wearing false eyelashes. The biggest difference between my left eye and my right is that my right is now quite weepy and sore, because every time I've used this stuff, the fibres have fallen into my eye and irritated it.
Magnifibres costs £22 (although who pays full price for make up anymore? I got mine for £13 from eBay), and for the difference it makes it's not worth it. If it cost £5 I'd tell you to save your money. To be honest, it's so fiddly to apply, and adds so much time to the already time consuming process of doing your eye make up, that if it cost 99p I still wouldn't think it was worth the hassle. My quest for lashes worthy of love, sadly, continues.

Houston-Galveston Area Council Executive Director Jack Steele today told the H-GAC Board of Directors that there has been some movement in the next phase of the Community Development Block Grant Hurricane Recovery Program.
Listen: RealPlayer MP3
"All of your staff professionals are now aware that the deadline for receipt of non-housing projects is the first of October, and for housing projects the first of November, for receipt of those proposals in the state to begin the detailed analysis," Steele said. "That's good news because it means that things are moving forward."
Steele said some areas are not moving so quickly.
"There are still some unresolved issues with objections by the housing advocates," he reported. "The major state agencies held a meeting here last week to continue working on that."
Steele said he believes the negotiations are down to some minor technical points that he expects to be resolved soon.
The board authorized staff to negotiate contracts with Aetna for medical insurance benefits, Assurant for employee dental insurance benefits and Assurant for life and disability insurance.
The board authorized staff to negotiate a contract with Byrd Construction for renovations on the fourth floor of the building at 3555 Timmons Lane that houses the H-GAC, at a cost not to exceed $245,270.
The board authorized the purchase of Herman Miller Modular furniture for the fourth floor, at a cost not to exceed $350,000.
The board authorized staff to negotiate a consultant contract not to exceed $850,000 to begin the process toward development of the 2040 Regional Transportation Plan for the Houston-Galveston Region. Listen: RealPlayer MP3
"Five firms responded to our request for proposals," said Transportation Planning Director Alan Clark. "We had two of them selected as finalists."
Teams led by Parsons Brinckeroff and Wilbur Smith Associates are the finalists.
"Although we've had, I think, very successful transportation plan development in the past, we wanted to take it to a higher level, particularly as we address some of the new emerging issues concerning livability," Clark said. "We're turning to the common themes of trying to address congestion in our region, but also access and mobility, particularly as many of you are in communities looking to start the first transit services in your community of a fixed-route nature; and we see this as an emerging trend across our area."
"I do want to compliment you on how well you worked with the Manville-Alvin-Santa Fe Area on your access management study," said Manville Mayor Delores Martin to Clark. "You went 400 percent to work with the citizens to help them understand what you were doing and why you were doing it and how it was benefiting them."
All other agenda items were approved. All votes were unanimous with Walker County commissioners B.J. Gaines, Jr. and Glenn Beckendorff; Galveston Mayor Joe Jaworski; Huntsville Mayor James Turner; and La Porte Council Member Chuck Engleken, Jr. absent. Texas City City Commissioner Dee Ann Haney was also absent but Commissioner Rick Wilkenfeld, the alternate member from Texas City was in attendance and voted in Haney's place.

2010 Director's Community Leadership Awards
|Jenny Williamson
Jenny Williamson works with victims of human trafficking and helps educate the community about sex trafficking of minors. She has also led a fundraising campaign to purchase a ranch that can house young girls who have been rescued from a life of prostitution.
Currently, there are no other similar homes in Northern California for girls who are rescued from trafficking. With no place to go, many victims must be charged with a crime and taken to juvenile hall—the only safe group "house" that currently exists.
The founder and CEO of the non-profit Courage to be You, Ms. Williamson works to "equip, encourage, and empower individuals to discover their God-given purpose." She bases her work on the principle that before any individual can recognize their potential and discover their purpose, their most basic human needs must be met.
Ms. Williamson believes that the world is changed one individual at a time. As a professionally trained life coach, former women's ministry director, conference speaker, workshop leader, business owner, wife, mother, and very passionate cheerleader of those wanting to embark on a journey of purpose and passion, Ms. Williamson believes that discovering and fulfilling one's unique purpose is the adventure of a lifetime.

Make That Change
By Jerry Brownstein
"If you wanna make the world a better place. Take a look at yourself, and then make that change"
('Man in the Mirror' by Michael Jackson)
Many people are feeling a powerful urge to find new meaning in their lives... meaning that goes beyond the day to day activities that take up most of their time and energy. They are becoming more and more aware that something needs to change; that there is another dimension to life that lies beyond the compartmentalized box that society has placed them in. This feeling is the evolutionary impulse of our times. It is urging us to strive for our full potential. The key to reaching that potential is for individuals to expand their awareness so that they make choices in their lives that are in synch with their inner wisdom.
So how do we go about achieving this more evolved consciousness? Some people are jump-started by a drastic life-changing experience like a powerful epiphany, a kundalini awakening, or a near death experience... but these are extremely rare. For most of us our transformation begins with reading a few spiritual books, going to an occasional retreat, attending workshops, taking a weekly yoga class, etc.. These are all worthwhile activities that can help to spark the expansion of consciousness... but they are not enough. If you really want to grow and evolve it is necessary to make the commitment to create a daily practice that enriches all aspects of your being: Body, Mind and Soul.
You create a practice by cultivating new habits that I call "blissiplines". These are actually disciplines, but that word has too many negative connotations, so it works better to prefix your new habits with "bliss" rather than "dis". Your daily practice can start with as little as ten minutes each morning and then grow as you become more comfortable with it. We are all unique individuals so you will develop a personalized mixture of blissiplines that work for you and your lifestyle. Physical practices like yoga, Qi Gong and energy exercises are blended with the inner explorations of meditation, affirmations, visualization and conscious breathing. Body, mind and spirit are all nourished so that you feel your true inner beauty on all levels, and can bring that wonderful energy into every area of your life.
Getting started is a very individual matter. Some people love to read and teach themselves; others prefer to have personal guidance; and most of us respond best to a combination of both. The one ingredient that is essential to the success of any daily practice is meditation. Not only does it reduce stress, increase mental clarity, and strengthen your immune system, but it is the proven pathway to a more evolved consciousness. Meditation calms your mind and opens the doors of your perception so that you are able to receive new ways of thinking and feeling. It is not necessary to meditate in any prescribed way - whatever you can do to truly quiet your mind is a useful meditation. The important thing is to meditate every day, even if only for a few minutes. Most people find that it works best to meditate first thing in the morning before your mind gets a grip on you. Making meditation the cornerstone of your daily practice insures that you will continue to strengthen the connection to your inner stillness.
There are two powerful practices that you can use in conjunction with meditation to bring more peace, joy and love into your life: Affirmations and Visualizations. Affirmations are positive messages about ourselves and the world around us that reprogram our inner guidance. Repeating them over and over makes new connections in your subconscious mind… changing your core belief system to reflect positive values. Visualization is a creative way to envision in your mind's eye the healthy and joyous life that you desire. It stimulates your imagination to be the bridge between the limited world that your mind is trapped in, and the beautiful world that your heart knows is possible.
Inner explorations soothe the soul and clarify the mind, but we must not forget the body. Remember, we are holistic beings so our goal is to have Mind, Body and Spirit all working in harmony. Your body is the temple that houses your spirit, so it is important to keep it healthy, strong and vibrant. Everyone knows that the keys to good health are regular exercise and eating right… but knowing this and actually doing it are two very different things. The good news is that blending healthy habits into your daily life can be a simple and easy process. There are graceful forms of exercise that can add a physical dimension to your practice. Yoga, Qi Gong, and the Five Tibetan Rites are among the most popular and effective practices that blend physical movement with inner peace. Special Energy Exercises are a powerful way to work through your meridians and get your body balanced and flowing. A good way to get extra benefits from physical exercises is to do them in conjunction with affirmations. Double tasking is generally a recipe for lack of focus, but in this case it can actually sharpen your intention and deepen your practice. Whether you are lifting, running, walking or doing yoga, it is easy to get in a rhythm of adding a positive message to your movements. Life begins with your breath, so learning how to breathe consciously is another important part of your physical and spiritual health.
These are just some of the many tools that you can use to enrich your life by including them in your daily practice, but the most important factor is your intention to actually do them. If you try to do too much at first you may get discouraged, so start by keeping your goal reasonable – five to ten minutes each morning. Once you have established that as a regular part of your life you can then deepen your practice by gradually adding things. Over time you will feel yourself letting go of old ways of being and believing. Your practice will give you the power to make conscious choices that reflect the wisdom of your heart. Every day... in ways large and small... you will become 'a pioneer of your future rather than a prisoner of your past.' •

Idle Thuggery - Villainy with a New Face
I love stories that approach well-worn narratives from a different angle. That's the central idea behind Idle Thuggery; looking at the world of superheroes and arch-villains through the eyes of an up-and-coming henchmen, rather than your typical superhero origin story. It's a chance to look at the gritty, grimy and often frustrating reality of life as a hired henchman for a super-villain.
In the universe of Idle Thuggery, Super-villains aren't always "evil" and heroes aren't always "good". Just because you're a superhero with bullet-proof skin, doesn't mean that you won't get cancer, or that the press won't rake you over the coals for racially insensitivity remarks. You might be an arch-villain, but you're multinational conglomerate also provides medicine to refugees in war-torn countries and your bio-tech research has substantially reduced the prevalence of childhood disease in many parts of the world. Heroes can be bastards and villains can be prone to random acts of kindness.
Idle Thuggery is an attempt to pull back the curtain and take a look at what goes on behind the scenes of a typical arch-villain enterprise; to see the bags under the superhero's eyes and walk a day in the life of those unsung (and frequently death-prone) members of villainy; the henchmen.
The comic will be full color, coming in at around 120-140 pages in total and made available in electronic and soft copy issues.
Our expected completion date is Jan 2018, but we'll also be sending out some exclusive content prior to the release date!
We're also looking at producing a series of animated web stories (like the video intro), depending on how much interest we get.
Morgan Quaid - Writer, thinker of deep thoughts, peeler of difficult onions
Rain Art Studios - Pencils, Inks, colors (this is where the magic happens)
Luke Gartner-Brereton - Textures, Lettering, soundtrack (because you need music to read?)
- The standard Lois/Clark romance
- Flat characters that are "good" or "evil"
- Death Rays, Doom's Day Devices, etc.
- Transformers or Smurfs
- A different perspective on the superhero/super-villain genre
- Characters with more grey to them than black and white
- Occasional scenes of violent kickassery
- Bad language (though not gratuitous)
- Awesome artwork, interesting dialogue, intriguing ideas
- A blend of genres and styles
The writing has some strong similarities to Frank Miller's Batman (introspective first person narrative etc.) but the artwork varies between typical superhero style figures to more non-traditional methods. While it takes place within the traditional dichotomy between good and evil, hero and villain, Idle Thuggery also includes epic fantasy and sci-fi themes as well as a good dose of comedy and a touch of brutality.
Artwork Examples:
That's right, we've commissioned a bespoke soundtrack for Idle Thuggery. Why? Because...because why the heck not! Get the most out of the reading experience by listening to the soundtrack while you read, or just turn on the tunes while you're cooking spaghetti bolognese or shaving your turnips.
Hop on over to Bandcamp to have a listen: Idle Thuggery Soundtrack
We need love...a place to sleep...something that smells nice.
Seriously though, we're two thirds of the way through the production of Volume 1, aiming to finish it off within the next three months. At the moment the author (Morgan...me!) is covering all the costs of the project (no biggie, the kids can eat off-brand Corn Flakes for the next few years), so we're looking to bring in some money to finish off the build and help out with promotion and maybe even start working on volume two.
The more money we can raise, the bigger and badder we can make volume 1 and the quicker we can start work on volume 2.
We have plans for Idle Thuggery...big plans, big, secret, super awesome plans. But it all depends on how much interest we get in the comic. Whether you're just an avid reader or you want to get involved in the creative process, feel free to drop us a line, share us on Facebook or Twitter; all support is welcome!
Risks and challenges
Primary risk is that thousands of potential readers are deprived of the opportunity to hold Idle Thuggery in their eager hands. Project will go ahead regardless of funding, but we need reads!Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

text: Hi all, I know this is probably really basic, but just recently when I start to type something in the url line, Safari automatically minimises the current screen and shows all active screens, asking me to select the one I want. Obviuosly it doesnt realise that the one I started typing in is the one I want! I've had a look through settings and cannot seem to find a solution. Could someone please assist. It's bearable, not life threatening, but damn annoying! Thanks Hilton

NCEER-90-0001 | 1/1/1990 | 66 pages
TOC: The table of contents is provided.
Keywords: Loma Prieta, California, Earthquake, October 17, 1989, San Francisco, California, Earthquake, April 18, 1906, Municipal Water Supply System (MWSS), Auxiliary Water Supply System (AWSS), Portable Water Supply System (PWSS), Liquefaction, Pipelines, Lifelines, Underground Infrastructure, Fire Fighting, and Earthquake Damage.
Abstract: The four main areas of San Francisco affected by soil liquefaction in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and 1906 San Francisco earthquake are the Marina, Foot of Market, South of Market, and Mission Creek districts. Liquefaction effects involved subsidence and loss of bearing of shallow foundations, with differential settlement, racking and tilting of two to four-story timber structures. Strong ground shaking in the Marina was the principal cause of building damage. Preliminary reconnaissance indicates that the underground infrastructure influenced the pattern of soil and street displacement and may have affected the potential for soil liquefaction in certain locations. In the Mission Creek district, the presence of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system seems to have influenced the pattern of soil liquefaction. Damage in water distribution piping was located primarily in areas of strong ground shaking, liquefaction, and permanent soil displacements. The heavy concentration of Municipal Water Supply System (MWSS) damage in the Marina underscores the importance of site response in the performance of pipeline networks. Hydrants proved to be the most vulnerable component in the Auxiliary Water Supply System (AWSS), and the damage complicated firefighters' efforts in the area. The flexibility provided by the Portable Water Supply System (PWSS) was of critical importance in controlling and suppressing the fire which erupted in the Marina. The ability to operate with portable hosing and draft from a variety of water sources, including underground cisterns and fireboats, provides a valuable extra dimension in the city's emergency response.

A local artist has finished sculpting a Ronald Reagan statue, which will go up in a Newport Beach park by year's end.
Miriam Baker's statue of the 40th president has been fully modeled in clay, and is now in the waxing process. After a wax mold is made, the statue will be cast in bronze.
It is slated to be dedicated in Bonita Canyon Sports Park, 1990 Ford Road, before the end of the year to honor the centennial of Reagan's birth.
The proposal to erect the statue stirred a public debate over whether and how to honor the Republican Party icon, who was born Feb. 6, 1911, in Tampico, Ill. Some residents opposed putting what they saw as a partisan statue on public grounds while others argued that Reagan's popularity transcended party lines.
Despite the controversy, Baker said she has gotten only positive reactions from city officials and friends. She said her biggest hope for the statue is that former first lady Nancy Reagan will visit it and like it.

…I am the Sorceress that will not be ruled, the Weaver of Time, the Teacher of Mysteries. I am kin to the Badb and Macha, for together we are the Sacred Three. Come walk with me near the sea's kiss, let me show you the Old Ways…"
–Charge of the Morrigan, Meryt-Meihera
Her mythology is full of shifts–goddess, fae, phantom, mortal. She is one and she is three (Badb, Macha, Nemain), each sharing the aspects of the whole… the Morrigan. Morrigan is the goddess of war, fate, and death. She is of the Tuatha de Danann and her wisdom is not so easily learned.
As Badb, she is the crow or raven flying over the battlefield feeding the chaos and leading her chosen to frenzied victory. Nemain is most often associated with this frenzy. Macha, in her battle aspect, is sometimes known as a harvester of souls, collecting the severed heads of the battle fallen.
Morrigan, as a weaver of fate and omen of death, could be found washing the bloodied clothes of soldiers who were to die in battle. These spectral premonitions of death suggest a possible link to the folklore of the Irish banshee (sometimes called the badhb).
Sometimes she is seen as leading the Wild Hunt, riding down the souls of the dead on their journey to the otherworld. Seeing an unusual number of corvids is said to signify her call (as are continual and debilitating nightmares)… but think before you answer, she is not the gentlest of presences.

I have to admit, that the first episode was good - especially compared to previous episodes...
- The logo used this year had a positive feel to it...there were no blood spots, no bite marks, had neutral / "good" colors and even included the word HAPPY - baby steps, but it works...small changes
- Absolutely amazing images produced by a Phantom Camera. Shoots 1,000 frames per second, possible to slowdown action 40 times. The details of the sharks breaching were phenomenal. The slow motion effects captured the beauty of these animals in such a "violent" moment. The music was well applied - minus the kayaking scene - became too dramatic
- Narration was very balanced, not sensational
- Hosted by Chris Fallows - pioneer of Air Jaws photography
- White sharks eat 1% of seal colony (total colony: 60,000) each year
- Juvenile white sharks in Mossel Bay swim close to shore - very close to shore, yet there are hardly any incidents. Reasons are still unknown, may be for mating, feeding of fish, oxygen levels of water...
- Seal Eye camera and sled were interesting and innovative to get a closer look at sharks while in predatory mode
- Bruce (from Nemo) came to mind often during breaches...
- Must suck to be a seal in South Africa - 20-30 patrolling sharks around the island make the commute a bitch.
First impressions of shark week are very good thus far. The next episode promoted was Into the Shark Bite...unfortunately it already had already lines like "Risk life and limb..." - we'll see tomorrow.

Ok, it seems like almost half of the posts in this forum are "my framerate is low, help!" posts. So, here are basic troubleshooting steps that should be taken before making a post about your framerate.
First Steps
- Make sure your video drivers are up to date! (nVidia / ATi)
- Make sure that your video settings (Catalyst Control Center for ATi or nVidia Control Panel for nVidia) are set to use application settings (may also be called application preference)
- Make sure your DirectX installation is up to date if you are a Windows user. This can usually be done via Windows Update or Microsoft's DirectX website
Slow CPU?
Have a lower clock speed CPU (under 2.8GHz)? Your framerate is probably fine in Dalaran, open world, 5-mans, and maybe even 10-man raids, but you're seeing your big drop in 25-man raids. This is because 25-man raids have a lot of information to process between the 25 people attacking, the boss, the adds, and other effects (timers, counters, etc...not particle effects). The only suggestions that can be made in this scenario are:
- Disable your combat log and see if you gain any framerate (see instructions below)
- Disable as many addons as possible (especially Recount, as it's a CPU hog)
- Close background applications
- Run WoW in full screen mode, as this usually gains a bit of framerate
Disabling Your Combat Log
To disable your combat log:
- You will want to make note of what you are unchecking, as you need to re-check them later if you wish to re-enable your combat log.
- Go to your chat tabs and right click on the one titled "Combat Log"
- Go into "Settings"
- Choose the first box titled "Self"
- You will see several boxes below that are titled "Me", "Pet", "Friends", etc.
- Uncheck every box with a check mark in it
- Choose the box titled "Everything"
- Repeat steps 4 and 5
- Choose the box titled "What Happened to Me"
- Repeat steps 4 and 5
- Choose the box titled "Kills"
- Repeat steps 4 and 5
Macros That May Help
There are also macros that can lower your graphics beyond what the slider allows:
If using these macros cause any issues for you, try disabling M2Faster by typing: /console M2Faster 0Originally Posted by nwo
processAffinityMask (optional)
Finally, while you shouldn't have to do this, you can set the processAffinityMask variable in your Config.WTF file, which is found in <WoW Install Directory>\WTF
Depending on your number of cores, you will need to set processAffinityMask to a different value. You can copy/paste the line as found below for your CPU type. Make sure to only copy after the hyphen (starting with SET):
- Single Core CPU - SET processAffinityMask "1"
- Dual Core CPU - SET processAffinityMask "3"
- Tri Core CPU - SET processAffinityMask "7"
- Quad Core CPU (not i7) - SET processAffinityMask "15"
- Octo Core (8 cores) or i7 (4 hyperthreaded cores) CPU - SET processAffinityMask "255"
Troubleshooting (temps, clock speeds, etc)
None of that worked? It's time to check your temperatures and CPU clock while playing WoW. You can download Core Temp to view this information. If you'd like more information about your CPU, motherboard, or memory, you can also download CPU-Z. To test, you should do the following:
- Open Core Temp without WoW running (or any other program with a heavy CPU load)
- Check your CPU Frequency and temperatures in Core Temp
- Note: At this point, your CPU Frequency may be lower than your max clock speed
- Click "Options" at the top of Core Temp and select "Always On Top"
- Start WoW and log in
- Upon entering the world, check your CPU Frequency and temperatures in Core Temp (which should be overlaying WoW)
- Note: At this point, your CPU Frequency should be your max clock speed (advertised speed or whatever the chip was overclocked to)
- Slide Core Temp as out of your way as possible
- Play (or at least run around Dalaran) for a while (maybe 15-30 minutes) and check your CPU Frequency and temperatures again
- If at any point your framerate dips, immediately check your CPU Frequency and temperatures
- If you have to open a thread asking for help, please include your CPU Frequency and temperatures at each testing step
What we are looking for here is any drop in CPU Frequency or drastic raise in temperature (max temp will vary depending on which CPU you have). If you are having a heat issue, some CPUs will automatically downclock to avoid heat damage.
Third Party Program AssistanceOriginally Posted by Resa
Also, I suggest using Game Booster if all else fails. This will shut down any unnecessary background services or applications (you get to choose which apps close, so it won't kill FireFox on you). That will help you squeeze a bit more out of lower end hardware.
Post For Help
If none of the above helps you, please make a new topic in the forum. Adding to another's thread (while appropriate in pretty much every other forum) makes troubleshooting very difficult, so we want to keep each person's issue in its own thread. Also, be certain to include the required information for help requests.
Change Log
- 06/03/2010: Added a link to the required help request information to the "Post for Help" section.
- 02/23/2010: I modified the Troubleshooting section to make use of Core Temp's "Always On Top" feature to avoid any downclocking issues while alt-tabbing.
- 02/23/2010: I've added a few things that people have posted deeper in the thread (thanks guys!). I also added headings to try to make the sections a bit clearer and re-ordered a few things to try to make the thread more logical. Keep any suggestions you have coming!

China Glaze - Cowgirl Up
Today I have a polish that I'm not too crazy about. It's Cowgirl Up, from the Rodeo Collection by China Glaze. I thought this looked stunning in the bottle, but once on the nail I wasn't very impressed. It's a very dark magenta/purple. The color is very me, but I'm not a fan of the finish which is frosty. When in direct sunlight and bright lighting, there are little blue flecks which you can almost see in the photos below. These flecks aren't apparent in normal lighting, and the polish looks much more frosty. The formula was good and I only needed two coats to get it opaque. I topped it off with a coat of Seche Vite.
I apologize in advance for the funky ring finger. I have a break that is very far up and I tried to patch it - which you can tell is a complete fail. I also have a bit of tip wear, I haven't been good about taking my photos right away lately....
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!!

Pretty color!ReplyDelete
I agree - good move on the co part to give Christmas Eve off in lie of a party...esp with Xmas eve this yr on a Monday and Xmas on Tues - tons of folks are going to want/need Monday off to take advantage of Sat/Sun/Mon/Tue holiday time...that is for those who don't work on holiday like I always had to working in the hospital - we never close! Cowgirl up is always been a great shade - that collection has a # of em that I really like a lot. When it came out we did not have any Sally's or any retail at all that carried ChG. They went into retail hiding around mid 90's in my area. I got the ones I have in this collection late on the secondary market and only thanks to blogs featuring older polishes. So please always show older polishes. There are so many good ones out there that folks can still find on the secondary market and some in etailers still. Now we do have a Sally's within a day's driving distance of my home. I get frustrated with them because they get like maybe 4 bottles of each shade in a new collection and they won't put them aside if you call ahead. I would like to see ChG market expand to selling more places. We don't have dept stores, we don't have Ulta, Sephora where I live.ReplyDelete
Very lovely color! I missed out on this collection!ReplyDelete

I never thought I would say this, but how the heck did Mexico get so gosh dang cold!? You may be thinking, "Oh c´mon, how cold can Mexico get?" Well, let me answer that for ya, I put on all of the warm clothes I owned and was just barely warm! That´s a long sleeved shirt, two sweaters, a sweater vest, and a jacket! Every morning during our studies me and my companion huddle around the little heater that we have because our house is freezing! Even as I am writing this, I have to stop every once and a while and warm up my fingers. (I just did it)
So, how is the work going in the Frozen-Over-Monterrey? Not too shabby if I do say so myself! On Tuesday we got 5 fechas bautismal.(baptismal dates) 5! So that is pretty awesome. We have been getting a bigger investigator base as of late, so it is good to see some hard work pay off.
In our first lesson with Juan, a new investigator with a totally unique name, everything went great! I really think this family has been prepared because in the lesson Juan was reading everything before we even asked him to. And then he would go on and read more than needed. He was really participating and conversing with us, not just us giving a lecture. And he seemed really excited to start reading the Book of Mormon! Hopefully he actually does, because when you read it sincerely, there is no way that you don´t feel it is true!
On Sunday they are having a special "open house" at the temple. Obviously not an actual open house, but this is an opportunity for people to come and learn about temples and to learn about the Gospel. So I am really excited to go because there is always such a special spirit at the temple and it will be a great opportunity to get some good teaching in! And we just found out tomorrow that we get to go to a special meeting with the Area President. That will be super awesome! Well, if I can understand it.
Speaking of understanding, the language is really coming along, with a lot of energy and concentration; I can get the gist of the conversation with minimal translation from my companion. But it depends on the person because everyone speaks different it feels like. Some speak super fast and others speak slower. Some people slur their words, others are pretty clear. But it is still super mentally exhausting. But one funny thing that happened this week was that we were helping some members prepare food for some event and the dad had learned a little bit of English and knew some phrases and I kid you not, it sounded exactly like my dad doing one of his imitations. Exactly! It had to be the funniest thing ever! He probably thought that I was weird because I just kept laughing but it was so funny!
So I had a cool thought in our district meeting this Tuesday. The district leader asked who was a convert to the church. A couple of missionaries raised their hand. It takes me a moment to process the whole sentence so I started to as well until I put it together. The district leader said something about my 1/4 hand raise, probably something like "Elder Morris always looks so sharp" or something like that. But I had a thought come to my mind and I defended my action with this. Aren´t we all converts? Or even better, shouldn´t we all be converts? As youth, our leaders tell us to develop our own testimonies. Testimonies of the Book of Mormon, of Joseph Smith, and of our Savior, But we don´t just need to get a testimony of The Gospel of Jesus Christ, we need to me converted to The Gospel of Jesus Christ. We need to truly become a disciple of Christ in not only our words on Sunday´s, but our actions and thoughts consistently! So my challenge to you is to become converted wholly to Christ. Show your love for him by standing as a witness of Him, by living for him. I know that is hard, I am going through that now. But the harder we try, the more help we will have from Him. And the more help we have from him, it will be less hard. Really a pretty great cylce.
I almost forgot, Thanksgiving is Thursday! Well, I am grateful for the best family to ever have been placed on this earth. I must have won the lottery or something in heaven to have got them. I am grateful for muy asombroso (pretty amazing) sisters, the very best. I am grateful for the hardest working dad, lo mejor ejemplo I could ever ask for. I am grateful for the most caring mom, and for her amor eterno para mi. I can´t thoroughly express my thanks for them. And I am and will be eternally grateful for mi Salvador and Redentor and His infinite sacrifice for this very finite Elder. I have a lot to be thankful for, more than I can say so I will just say that I am very grateful for everything and for all of you! I hope you all have the Lord´s hand in your life and will continue to feel his blessings.
¡Tenga un excelente semana!

The director of the University of Vermont's Health Center last week appeared before the state's Medical Practice Board to contest allegations that the school health clinic improperly prescribed opioids to students. According to the Burlington Free Press, a 2009 survey of the university's students, conducted by six nursing students, suggested somebody at the center was prescribing opioids to students who, in some instances, were giving the pills to friends, selling them or using them recreationally.
The newspaper reports Vermont's Attorney General alleges the head of the health clinic failed to adequately supervise a physician assistant at the clinic, who prescribed opioids without documenting that a physical exam had taken place, or without an appropriate in-person visit.
A review of 43 cases filed with the state's Medical Practice Board during the past five years found that 25 percent involved claims that a doctor improperly prescribed opioids to patients or family members, or had misused the drugs themselves. Another 30 percent involved inappropriate prescribing of other regulated drugs.
Vermont's Governor Peter Shumlin told the newspaper he is concerned some doctors in the state might be partially responsible for the state's problems with prescription drug abuse. "Most of our providers are extremely responsible, but this stuff is getting to the street somehow," he said.
Some Vermont doctors say more training is needed for those prescribing pain medications. A new federal government strategy aimed at cutting the use of prescription painkillers by 15 percent in five years includes a requirement that doctors who prescribe oxycodone and other opioids undergo training on proper prescription practices.

$100M for Nunavut housing announced in federal budget
Money also announced for Pangnirtung harbour and Nanisivik naval facility
The federal government has announced $100 million over two years for housing in Nunavut.
The money was included in Finance Minister Jim Flaherty's 2013-2014 budget, which he presented this afternoon in Parliament.
It will be used to build about 250 housing units, with $30 million set aside for the coming fiscal year. Another $70 million has been set aside for the year after that.
The budget states this funding is to recognize the territory's unique housing challenges, such as climate, geography and a population spread out over a vast region. The funding will come from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
Nunavut's Finance Minister Keith Peterson says planning has to happen for the new units soon.
"Because of the winter season and the spring [and] summer season with the barges and ships, [we] couldn't even deliver materials into some of the communities until August. But before that even happens, you've got to plan and put out tenders," he said.
Flaherty also announced close to $1 billion to repair and maintain small craft harbours across Canada and money to speed up the construction of the harbour in Pangnirtung, Nunavut.
About $116 million, spread out over five years, will go towards building the naval facility in Nanisivik, which is supposed to support Canada's Arctic and offshore patrol ships.
There is also $6 million slotted for mining training and work experience for aboriginal people in the Northwest Territories and in the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut.
The budget also included a re-announcement of more than $77 million for the new Iqaluit airport terminal.
Yukon College's Centre for Northern Innovation in Mining is slated to get some federal help, although the budget said details on that will be announced later this year.


text: Last weekend we had four days at Wilson's Prom. I love the Prom, and it makes me feel close to the characters of my novel because it is part of their world. The beach ride that my characters embark upon under cover of darkness takes part on a much longer version of Norman Beach. I did the research there -- walked a good way with eyes closed in freezing water to see whether I could navigate the beach, blind, with only the feel of water on my ankles as a guide. The tracks that lead away from Normal Beach -- both to Little Oberon Bay in one direction and to Squeaky Beach in the other provided inspiration for the forests near the beach. So I go to the Prom and feel close to my characters. So here's the first four months of my "calendar trip" to the Prom:

For those of you torn between a Mazda3 and a non-Evo Mitsubishi Lancer, China's Hafei Auto may have the answer for you in the Saibao V (Saibao means "running leapoard"). This newly revealed car takes the stock Saibao sedan and adds numerous visual tweaks including the sportier wheels, revised front fender, a gigantic spoiler and the completely awesome rear diffuser. Though there's no word on any adjustments to either the power or the suspension on the car, the display model features four, count them, four booth models. Assuming you picked up four gowned girls in the Saibao V, you might end up having to put one in the trunk.
Of course, many Chinese citizens are already used to being transported this way. On the mainland they call it "dissident style." The driver of this car is clearly going to have the best Chinese prom EVER! Also dig the reverse Hyundai logo. [The Tycho]

Behavior Bank
I use a behavior system that also teaches money skills. At the beginning of the year I have all students punch out their money from the back of their math book to go in our "bank." Every morning two "bankers" pass out five pennies to each student. If a student breaks a rule, I don't need to lecture. I just collect a penny or two. The children get the message very quickly.
At the end of the day, the children trade in their pennies for nickels, dimes, or quarters. Once a week, they come to my "store" to purchase stickers, bookmarks, posters, etc. They may not use pennies to shop so they must learn money skills. The kids love it, and my class knows the value of a quarter. Parents donate some of the items for the store.

[Seminar] Endometrial cancer
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynaecological tumour in developed countries, and its incidence is increasing. The most frequently occurring histological subtype is endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Patients are often diagnosed when the disease is still confined to the uterus. Standard treatment consists of primary hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, often using minimally invasive approaches (laparoscopic or robotic). Lymph node surgical strategy is contingent on histological factors (subtype, tumour grade, involvement of lymphovascular space), disease stage (including myometrial invasion), patients' characteristics (age and comorbidities), and national and international guidelines.

Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.—Luke 24:49
A definition of the word "power" means the ability to do. You know, because it is the Greek word from which our English word "dynamite" comes, some of the brethren try to make out that the Holy Spirit is dynamite, forgetting that they have the thing upside down. Dynamite was named after that Greek word, and the Holy Spirit and the power of God were not named after dynamite. Dynamite was discovered less than 200 years ago, but this Greek word from which we get our word "power" goes back to the time of Christ. It means "ability to do"— that is all, just "ability to do."
One man picks up a violin and he gets nothing out of it but squeaks and raucous sounds. That man doesn't have the ability to do. Another man picks up the violin and he is soon playing beautiful, rich melodies. One man steps into the prize ring and can't even lift his hands. The other fellow walks in and he has power to do, and soon the fellow who did not have the abiltiy to do is sleeping peacefully on the floor.
It is the man with the ability to do who wins. It means the dynamic ability to be able to do what you are given to do. You will receive ability to do. It will come on you. The Counselor, 61-62.
"Again, Lord, help us to not be afraid of this all-important manifestation of the Holy Spirit. Come on our churches in power as we rely upon the Spirit for 'the ability to do' whatever You have called us to do. In fact, let me see Your power at work in my life even today. Amen."

"New ANTARCTICA DOCUMENTARY the Truth about the Frozen Continent" の動画はこちら
"New ANTARCTICA DOCUMENTARY the Truth about the Frozen Continent" について
New Antarctica documentary finds out why the wastelands of the South Pole have fascinated explorers, alien hunters and conspiracy theorists for decades. Its the last great unexplored wilderness on the face of planet Earth and is shrouded in icy mysteries. But what's the truth about the frozen continent of Antarctica? The wilder minds of the internet have made a series of sensational claims about the South Pole, suggesting it's home to alien bases and even a lost human civilization. You won't find this theory in any science books, but a quick Google search will throw up screeds of claims that Atlantis is frozen in Antarctic ice. Some suggest the Nazis built secret bases in Antarctica during World War II, which were designed to be used by flying saucers. A few years ago a defecting Russian scientist surfaced with a mind-bending account of what REALLY occurred when he and his colleagues went missing for five days in a mysterious lake 12,366 feet beneath the Antarctic ice. Of course there is also Admiral Byrd's Operation Highjump, it has been suggested he actually discovered entrances to a vast Hollow Earth.

NEW BATAAN, Philippines – A typhoon that had left the Philippines after killing nearly 600 people and leaving hundreds missing in the south has made a U-turn and is now threatening the country's northwest, officials said Saturday.
The weather bureau raised storm warnings over parts of the main northern island of Luzon after Typhoon Bopha veered northeast. There was a strong possibility the disastrous storm would make a second landfall Sunday, but it might also make a loop and remain in the South China Sea, forecasters said. In either case, it was moving close to shore and disaster officials warned of heavy rains and winds and possible landslides in the mountainous region.
Another calamity in the north would stretch recovery efforts thin. Most government resources, including army and police, are currently focused on the south, where Bopha hit Tuesday before moving west into the South China Sea.
With many survivors still in shock, soldiers, police and outside volunteers formed most of the teams searching for bodies or signs of life under tons of fallen trees and boulders swept down from steep hills surrounding the worst-hit town of New Bataan, municipal spokesman Marlon Esperanza said.
"We are having a hard time finding guides," he told The Associated Press. "Entire families were killed and the survivors … appear dazed. They can't move."
He said the rocks, mud, tree trunks and other rubble that litter the town have destroyed landmarks, making it doubly difficult to search places where houses once stood.
Nearly 400,000 people, mostly from Compostela Valley and nearby Davao Oriental provinces, have lost their homes and are crowded inside evacuation centers or staying with relatives.
The typhoon plowed through the main southern island of Mindanao, crossed the central Philippines and lingered over the South China Sea for the past two days. It made a U-turn Saturday and is now threatening the northwestern Ilocos region.
President Benigno Aquino III, after visiting the disaster zone, declared a state of national calamity late Friday to speed up rescue and rehabilitation, control prices of basic commodities and allow the quick release of emergency funds.

Former graphic designer for Seattle Theatre Group and Sasquatch! Music Festival now works independently, selling art prints, working with clients and just being creative.
What do you do? I am an illustrator of art prints, books, tour posters for bands, and whatever else I find interesting.
How did you get started in that field? My career has evolved pretty organically. Early on I worked strictly as a graphic designer. Eventually my love of music led me to the concert promotion world, and I spent some years as the senior designer for Seattle Theatre Group — and working with the Sasquatch! Music Festival. About four years ago, I decided to try making it as an independent artist, which has proved to be incredibly satisfying. I mostly focus on fun personal projects now, like my "Have A Little Pun" print series that was recently published as a book through Chronicle Books.
What's a typical day like? It really depends on the time of year. I just wrapped up a couple of weekends selling my art prints at craft fairs. The month before was dedicated to a large client project. I do spend a lot of time shipping, invoicing and keeping up with wholesale orders, particularly in the wintertime. The rest of the year, I try to focus on just being creative. I pull a lot of inspiration from living in the Northwest, nature, my favorite music and my Scandinavian roots.
What's the best part of the job? Being able to follow my curiosity and see where it leads. I feel so very grateful to finally be in a position where I can try new things and adapt in my career … and that I have an audience that continues to support my journey. Also, working from home definitely has its perks — the dress code is nonexistent and the hours are perfect!
What surprises people about your job? I suppose that I can survive as an independent artist is pretty surprising. I'm surprised myself, sometimes!
Being a full-time illustrator sounds pretty dreamy — and some days it can be. There is no greater joy than being "in the zone," with a large amount of uninterrupted time to draw and conceptualize new ideas. However, those days are few and far between. To make it work, much of my time has to be dedicated to the business end. Still, whether I am packing and shipping orders to adorn people's walls, or if I'm out collecting flora to study for my next print, it's all pretty amazing that this is my life.

Review: Samsung Rugby III for AT&T
Form Performance Basics Extras Wrap-Up Comments 4
The RIII has two displays, a small, square one on the exterior for notifications, and the main one visible when the phone is open. The external display measures about 1.3 inches across the diagonal. It is a color display, and can be used with the camera for self-pics. Resolution is pretty much awful, as is brightness. It is just barely visible outdoors.
The main screen measures 2.4 inches across the diagonal and has 240 x 320 pixels. The pixel count works well with the size to create a display that looks good. It is bright, colorful, and the resolution is high enough for a device of this caliber. Yes, you can see individual pixels, but I expect that on a flip phone.
The RIII is a 3G phone; there's no LTE here. It doesn't use AT&T's fastest HSPA+, either; instead, it sticks to slower WCDMA. During my time testing it, the RIII was a signal-gathering champ. It maintained a strong connection to AT&T's network throughout my review period, and it never faltered. Every call went through on the first dial, it didn't miss any calls, and it didn't drop any calls. It even connected calls from the NJ vault (local supermarket), which is notorious for its poor signal strength.
AD article continues below...
The RIII is not a good voice phone. Everything about cellular and PTT calls was unacceptable to me. The quality is abysmal. Every conversation I had sounded like I was talking through a wall. Voices coming through the earpiece were muffled and scratchy, and the sound dropped out entirely far too often. Then there's the volume. With the volume set all the way up, conversations were difficult to hear in my quiet office. Outside in the real world, forget it. You can't hear anything. The speakerphone quality is worse than the earpiece, and though the volume is better, it introduces distortion. On the flip side of the coin, people with whom I conversed said they could hear me no problem, and that I sounded good to them. Ringers and alerts were loud enough, and the vibrate alert was strong.
The battery life of the RIII is excellent. We're talking days, not hours. I had no trouble getting three days of battery life from my review unit, with regular use of the phone and browser. You can easily get away with charging every other night.
The RIII is rated to mil-spec 810G and IP67 for protection from water and dust ingress, as well as from humidity and shock. You can kick it around a fair amount without fear of killing it. It can take a short dunk in shallow water, as well as handle phone calls out in the rain. It's not like any of today's fragile, glass-laden smartphones. You can drop it, a lot, and it won't break.
Samsung Rugby III Hits AT&T December 14 for $99
Nov 29, 2012
AT&T today announced that the Samsung Rugby III will be available online and in stores beginning December 14. The Rugby III is a ruggedized flip phone built to mil-spec 810G for protection from water and dust ingress, as well as from shock.
Review: Kyocera DuraXV LTE for Verizon Wireless
Verizon Wireless customers who need a crazy tough handset that not only braves, but conquers, the elements need look no further than the Kyocera DuraXV LTE. This rugged flip phone may offer a limited set of features, but it delivers excellent performance across core tools.
Review: Samsung Galaxy S7 Active for AT&T
Samsung's latest semi-rugged smartphone for AT&T dials back the good looks of the Galaxy S7 in favor of a stronger, studier frame. The S7 Active is tough enough to take a tumble without the brick-like bulk of some fully rugged handsets.
Hands On with the Land Rover Explore
Bullitt, the company responsible for CAT and Kodak phones, has recently added a new brand to its portfolio: Land Rover. The The Land Rover Explore is a tough-yet-capable phone with features designed for the same adventure-seeking crowd that Land Rover vehicles are associated with.
Review: OnePlus 6T
The 6T from OnePlus is among the first wave of phones to put the fingerprint reader under the display. With a svelte glass-and-metal design, huge screen, high-capacity battery, and reimagined cameras, the OnePlus 6T offers a lot of phone for far less than competing flagships.
