Inquiry Question
Document 1
Reading 1: The Invitation to Nikita Khruschev to Visit the United States
THE PRESIDENT: I asked this morning for this special press conference on the subject of the impending exchange of visits between Mr. Khrushchev and myself....
THE PRESIDENT: Now, one or two other items...
Q. Fletcher Knebel, Cowles Publications: Could you say, sir, was it just two items of correspondence, you invited him and he accepted, or was there more than that?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I'd say it is a little bit more complicated than that. [Laughter]
Sterling F. Green, Associated Press: Thank you, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT. Good morning. This is one way to get some of you people to come up to see the famous battlefield, isn't it? I have no announcements. We'll go to questions.
Q. John M. Hightower, Associated Press: Mr. President, what results do you hope to achieve in your talks with Premier Khrushchev?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I would hope for a bettering of the atmosphere between the East and the West. I do not by any manner of means intend or plan that this meeting can become a real negotiation of basic problems between the West and the East, because I have no intention of attempting to be the spokesman for the West.
Q. Robert C. Pierpoint, CBS News: In recent weeks, sir, we have been invited...to share your hospitality at the White House, and to speak with you personally....also you have now instituted...a new form of diplomacy by travel around the world.
THE PRESIDENT: When you have a situation that has gone on, as we have had this cold war since 1945...it becomes the kind of stalemate that...has the element of almost hopelessness for people....I am trying to end the stalemate and to bring people together more ready to talk....
1. What reasons did Eisenhower give for inviting Khrushchev to the United States?
2. When was the official statement to the press issued?
3. How did Eisenhower try to ensure public support for the trip?
4. Why might the Western powers (France, Great Britain, and West Germany) have been concerned about Eisenhower and Khrushchev meeting? What did Eisenhower say to allay those fears?
5. Traditionally, formal relations between countries was primarily the business of their foreign ministers. Why do you think that changed during the Eisenhower administration? Why do you think that Eisenhower denied that he was negotiating anything?
Reading 1 was abridged and excerpted from Public Papers of the Presidents: Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1959 (Washington D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1960), 560-575.

Italian President Giorgio Napolitano appealed to political leaders on Sunday to work together to form a government, but his appeal fell on deaf ears and pressure grew for a new poll after last month's deadlocked election, Reuters reported.
The threat of months of political instability following the inconclusive ballot has triggered warnings across Europe that Italy cannot afford to delay urgent reforms to shore up its massive public debt and boost its sickly economy, now stuck in recession for over a year.
Napolitano is due to begin consultations with political leaders on Wednesday to see if there is any chance of establishing a government after the election which left parliament split between three deeply opposed forces.
Pier Luigi Bersani, leader of the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), won control of the lower house but fell short in the Senate leaving him dependent on the support of his rivals if he is to form a government.
Bersani said he would tell Napolitano he would not try to reach any set deals in advance but would present proposals to parliament based on attacking corruption and creating jobs.
"The path is very, very narrow. I think I can say that other paths would turn out to be even narrower," he said.
However prospects of a deal with either former premier Silvio Berlusconi or the anti-establishment 5 Star Movement, which holds the balance of power, appear remote, raising fears of a return to the polls, possibly as early as June.
Both Angelino Alfano, secretary of Berlusconi's centre-right People of Freedom party, and 5-Star leader Beppe Grillo prophesied a short life for parliament, which held its first sittings to elect house speakers on Friday and Saturday.
"We are in favor of going to the vote as soon as possible so that Italians can give their opinion and we can begin a new legislature," Alfano told RAI television in an interview.
Before that can happen, parliament must elect a successor to Napolitano, whose mandate ends on May 15. An outgoing president does not have the power to dissolve parliament, so any new elections would have to be called by his successor.
Alfano's offer to cooperate with Bersani as long as his party was allowed to pick the next president was rejected out of hand by PD officials.
Despite some flutters, financial markets have so far been relatively relaxed in the face of the political stalemate, showing none of the panic seen during the crisis which drove Berlusconi from power in 2011.
However Italy's 2-trillion-euro public debt remains vulnerable to the kind of volatility which panicked investors less than two years ago with tensions over Cyprus highlighting the fragility of market confidence in the euro zone.
In an address commemorating the 152nd anniversary of Italian unification in 1861, Napolitano said the country should not "divide into factions opposed on everything" but his call for unity bore no fruit.
Bersani succeeded in getting his candidates elected as speakers of the lower house and Senate, helped by abstentions and a handful of votes from rebels in the 5-Star Movement but the vote only underlined the weakness of his position.
New Senate speaker Pietro Grasso, a top anti-Mafia judge who made his name fighting organized crime in Palermo, and lower house speaker Laura Boldrini, a former spokeswoman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, represent a change from the career politicians who traditionally took such roles.
Even so, the result of the contest for the Senate speaker showed clearly that Bersani would not be able to win a confidence vote in parliament, with Grasso elected with 137 votes, 21 short of a majority in the 315-seat upper house.
Grillo, who has ridden a wave of public disgust with the mainstream parties, dismissed the appointment of candidates from outside the political inner circle as a "fig leaf" and Alfano said the result made it clear Bersani could not govern.
"The figures show that Bersani cannot obtain any mandate to form a new government since he quite obviously has no majority in the Senate," he said.
Bersani himself has ruled out any deal with Berlusconi, who is on trial on charges of tax fraud and paying for sex with a minor and under investigation over separate political bribery allegations.
He said Italy, mired in recession and with unemployment, especially among the young, at a record, was a "pressure cooker" and any deal with Berlusconi would be inherently unstable. "You can't put a flimsy lid on a pressure cooker," he said.
However his attempts to court the 5-Star Movement have been rebuffed by its fiery leader, who rejects any deal and who was angered by the mini rebellion in his party on Saturday, demanding that those who voted for Grasso should "take the consequences".

More Bridal Shower Party Themes
If the party is to take place in the home where the newlyweds will live, you probably will want to give all the guests a tour. It might be fun to put trail markers on the floor or walls guiding the group along. In the room where the party will take place, set up a floor plan of the couple's home by marking off the floor with ribbon or string. Put each gift in its appropriate room and watch the home take shape.
Gifts can range from fun gadgets, to decorative goodies, to practical appliances and utensils. Guests can chip in on big-ticket items like kitchen appliances and electronics.
Games and Activities
Have the guests write a limerick for each room of the house. Start by having one guest write the first line of the limerick, then pass it on to another guest who provides the second line. Go around the room until you have a five-line limerick. Do a limerick for each room of the house. Here's a sample limerick: There once was a couple just itchin' / To get married and cook in their kitchen / When it was time to make stew / They knew just what to do / They called all their friends and said "Pitch in!"
Party Favors
Give the guests a favor that celebrates their homes. Each guest can receive a decorative plaque or mug with its own inspirational quote about home. Feel-good sayings like "There's no place like home" or "Home is where the heart is" will work for these favors.

How to mix watercolour - book from 1682Submitted by adminuser on 12 May 2014 - 12:13am
In 1692 an artist known only as "A. Boogert" sat down to write a book in Dutch about mixing watercolors. Not only would he begin the book with a bit about the use of color in painting, but would go on to explain how to create certain hues and change the tone by adding one, two, or three parts of water. The premise sounds simple enough, but the final product is almost unfathomable in its detail and scope.

What makes a good scientific illustration?Submitted by adminuser on 8 February 2013 - 4:56am
from The Conversation
By Trevor Weekes, University of Newcastle
When you open a science textbook or magazine, it's often the images that capture your attention. Some of these images help you visualise the topics, while others – such as diagrams – can be instrumental in helping us understand difficult concepts.
Creating scientific illustrations can require collaborations between scientists and illustrators. Sometimes they require an illustrator with specific skills or training, such as a natural history or scientific illustrator.
A scientific illustrator is defined as an illustrator who serves science. So assuming that the artist is working with a scientist there shouldn't be any problems.
But there are.
The process
A scientific illustration could be thought of as operating on three levels:
a simple line diagram that is accurate such as a visual description, a plan or map
an illustration that describes the subject accurately but incorporates specific surface detail such as colour and patterns, etc.
an artwork that could be best described as an illustration based on all of the above but is more about aesthetics than science
Accuracy in terms of shape and related parts is paramount, regardless of the amount of detail, but there are several variations on this. In the case of a beetle, the legs are in the correct scale compared to the body. The amount of surface detail, pattern, body markings and so on can be relatively simple or more complex depending on the type of rendering. Simple black line with shapes to define pattern or stippling to define shapes, tone and form of the subject.
The normal process of drawing a beetle specimen is to look at the fine details of the beetle under a microscope and then start drawing. The details and accuracy are checked with the scientist before the final rendering begins. Care must be taken that artistic license is avoided and the artist sticks to the truth.
The main techniques the artist uses are stippling or cross-hatching and the surface either scraperboard or ink on Bristol board. These techniques and surfaces give the clean delicate lines required for the production of an accurate scientific illustration.
An example of a good scientific illustration of a bird is one that displays detail that is flattened, so that identification is made easy. When standard artistic techniques are used to embellish the bird, it is no longer considered strictly as a good scientific illustration, even though it may be a good artwork.
Pheasant coucal, watercolour. Alison Babbage
This is because the shadows, which describe a subject's form, are not important to identifying the bird species, and thus could be considered a distraction.
The important issues for the scientist are that the illustration or diagram shows all the necessary parts clearly, accurately and to scale, to impart the information they are trying to communicate.
Botanical plates must describe all identifiable parts of the plant, provide a reference of scale and describe illustrated elements in a legend.
The Natives Exhibition - Palm House Royal Botanic Gardens SydneySubmitted by adminuser on 24 January 2013 - 11:31pm
Esther Beaton has what looks like a very interesting exhibition of photographs of Australian native plants that have been digitally manipulated to create some striking effects.
It is on until 30 January. For further information see the exhibition website or this photo gallery on the Australian Geographic.
Biodiversity Heritage LibrarySubmitted by adminuser on 31 October 2012 - 6:26am
For anyone who wants to look at great botanical art you could do a lot worse than checking out the Biodiversity Heritage Library. There are a couple of options - you can have a look at the Flickr Group where users have searched out images and added them to Flickr, or head over to the site itself where you will see the illustrations in their context along with yellowing pages of descriptions by botanists.
Art of Life and the Biodiversity Heritage LibrarySubmitted by adminuser on 31 August 2012 - 12:54am
The Biodiversity Heritage Library is an amazing resource for natural history illustrations and they are working hard at making these more accessible. At the moment they want feedback on how people would search for images and how they should be described. This is explained better on their blog.
I'd encourage you to have a look and make a comment if you feel that the draft terms for describing illustrations could be improved.

Exhibition: Macoto Murayama, Inorganic Flora - Singapore Art FairSubmitted by adminuser on 9 January 2012 - 5:37am
These are some really amazing botanical art pieces.
Artist Macoto Murayama uses an array of digital programs, like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and even 3-D modeling, to create highly visual works. By highlighting and separating specific pieces of the flora, Murayama wants to show the technical and almost mechanical aspects of these organic organisms.

Margaret Flockton Award 2012Submitted by adminuser on 30 November 2011 - 11:07pm
Entries for the 2012 Margaret Flockton Award are due on Monday 6th February 2012.
The award is run by the Friends of the Botanic Gardens Sydney and commemorates the contribution Margaret Flockton made to Australian scientific botanical illustration.
It is an interesting award in that only black and white illustrations are permitted and the focus is on producing a publication quality scientifically detailed illustration. Works are judged on accurate interpretation and portrayal of plant characters and diagnostic features, technical merit, reproducibility, composition and artistic merit.
See the website for further details.
International Botanical Congress in Melbourne this weekSubmitted by adminuser on 25 July 2011 - 12:20am
There is a huge amount of stuff happening in Melbourne this week as part of the 18th International Botanical Congress. Botanical Artists might be particularly interested in this free talk:
Sister Water Lily meets the Big Bad Banksia Man
Speaker: Dr Peter Bernhardt - Saint Louis University, St Louis, USA
Date and time: Thursday 28 July 2011, 1830 - 2000
Venue: Plenary Hall, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre
Can a whimsical and largely discarded branch of illustration be used to reinvigorate botanical education? Peter and his co-author Retha Meier review the works of C.M. Barker (England), W. Crane (England), May Gibbs (Australia), J.J. Grandville (France) and M.T. Ross (America). All produced detailed illustrations featuring anthropomorphic flowers, stems and edible plants. The tragic J.I.I. Gerad (a.k.a. Grandville, 1803-1847) began this trend in floral fantasy to amuse a mature audience of sophisticated Parisians but his techniques were assimilated by later author/artists of children's books. Within little more than a century (1847-1952) their combined oeuvre reminded or taught viewers simple, amusing and often visually accurate lessons in plant morphology/identification, phenology, economic botany, plant-animal mutualisms and phytogeography. These drawings, often reinforced botanical information by employing visual puns and satirizing the old, European, 'language of flowers'. We could certainly use a little of this style today with the fundamentals of plant biology taught so infrequently in many countries. In particular, author/illustrator, May Gibbs (1879-1969) developed the art of 'people plants' to introduce generations of Australian children to plant diversity common to southeastern and southwestern Australia.
Peter Bernhardt is a Professor of Biology at and a Research Associate of the Missouri Botanical Garden (St Louis) and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney. Research in the Bernhardt/Meier laboratory concentrates on flower evolution and the pollination systems of rare and threatened plants in North America, Australia and China. Peter is the author/co-author of 75 reviewed journal articles and four popular books on plant life including 'Wily Violets and Underground Orchids' (1989) and 'Gods and Goddesses in the Garden' (2008). He has a keen interest in how plants have been incorporated as characters in children's literature.

Creating the Right Mindset for Your Job Search
Approaching your job search with a good mindset makes your search more successful and maybe even fun. Stay upbeat, conquer your fears, and face the job search head on. Don't get yourself tied up in psychological knots, try these practical tips for a successful job search:
If you wait until you actually feel confident, you may be waiting for Godot. Think back to when you were most confident and pretend to be that self.
There's no shame in asking people for job leads — today, it seems like almost everyone is looking for a better job. And you're imposing minimally: Listening to your request for a job lead takes no more time than when you stopped a stranger on the street asking for directions.
Embrace up to 20 rejections. Successful people are often rejected. If, however, you've been rejected 20 times in a row, you may need to change your job target or improve your skill set.

By now you've seen adidas' new Boost midsole compound, designed to give runners a significant increase in energy return over a traditional EVA midsole while remaining soft and cushioned underfoot. Following through with the expansion of footwear options offering this new technology, adidas is introducing a racing shoe utilizing the Boost midsole, combining elements from the Energy Boost and the highly pedigreed adizero adios. It's called the adios Boost. Coincidence? We think not.
With a soft yet responsive ride, and with cushioning that is designed to stay consistent as the miles rack up, the adios Boost sets itself up to be a strong choice for runners seeking a racing shoe for their next marathon. The adios Boost got its official launch at the Boston Marathon expo and over the weekend Emmanuel Mutai wore the shoe at the London marathon.
What to Watch For
- Seamless Toebox: Heat transfered overlays over the toe-box limit seams for reduced friction on the foot.
- Responsive Toe-Off: The adios Boost utilizes a full-length torsion system, delivering a snappy rebound for a propulsive toe-off.
- High Traction Outsole: Featuring Continental rubber in key areas, this shoe will provide unrelenting grip on the road in both dry and wet conditions.
- Midweight Specs: adidas claims weights of 8.0 oz for a Men's size 9 and 6.6 oz for a Women's 8, as well as a 10mm heel to toe offset.
Launch Date
October 2013

Old time bakers used to make a "pudding" for chocolate cakes. This pudding is different than the pudding in the mix chocolate cakes we are used to today. Old time chocolate pudding was a way for bakers to elicit the full chocolate flavor from the cocoa powder and unsweetened chocolate which gave them rich full flavored chocolate cake.
When cakes are made strictly with cocoa powder which includes mostly cocoa solids the chocolate cake flavor is somewhat controlled. The chocolate flavor can be stricken even more by mixing the cocoa powder with flour. But by incorporating unsweetened chocolate which includes cocoa butter in addition to cocoa solids into the cocoa powder the chocolate cake is given an extra boost of chocolate flavor.

Putting our best foot forward in peaceful protest against the badger cull here in Somerset. We met at Kilve beach car park for a walk in one of the new cull zones, a favourite walking spot for a number of locals who joined us. Many local residents appalled at what is going on in the woods and fields around them.
We walked past the Court House, part of the Lutterell Estate and headed up through the village of East Quantoxhead.
Lovely to see faces old and new ready to continue standing up for badgers, conservation and science.
Thank you to those who baked amazing cakes etc and a very special thank you to the couple who joined us all the way from New York!! They gave up a whole day of their holiday to join us and it was a delight to meet them.

Newly revealed documents show that Exxon's own scientists were aware of and studying the dangerous impacts of greenhouse gases in the 1970s and 1980s -- until Exxon's leadership decided to shut down the research and promote climate denial instead, in order to protect the company's unfathomably large profits.
The United States Department of Justice has the power to prosecute Exxon's deliberate deception under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act - just as the DOJ did to the tobacco industry for knowingly lying about the dangers of cigarette smoking.

Monster Mayhem at Nutty Jerry's
Have you ever seen a 10,000-pound monster truck fly? Well, get ready Southeast Texas! A new breed of motor sports experience is coming to Nutty Jerry's. Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 12-13, Monster Mayhem will take over Nutty Jerry's new outdoor arena with the country's best monster trucks, monster pulling tractors, monster mud bog machines and an appearance by the nation's top stunt-car daredevil, Spanky Spangler!
In an arena that is over 500 feet long, these monsters will be hitting jumps and obstacles at top speed. Every bit of each monster's 2,000 horsepower will be used at Nutty Jerry's Monster Mayhem!
Six trucks will compete in racing and freestyle, including two-time World Freestyle Champion Jim "Mr. Excellent" Koehler and Avenger. Koehler will have his work cut out for him at Monster Mayhem with a crowded field of the country's best monster trucks including Razin Kane, Ice Cream Man, Barbarian, Wrecking Crew and Straight Jacket!
And then there's the tractor pulling! Tractor pulling is a sport in which super modified tractors or trucks drag a massive metal sled along a straight track. The sled's weight is is geared to gain resistance as the tractor hauls toward the finish line track. Pulling this ever-increasing load eventually causes the tractor to lose forward momentum and torque — although a rare few might indeed reach the end of the course, known as a "full pull."
The monster tractors may look like standard-issue farm equipment, but the similarities stop at the basic body and tires. Engines include drag racing automotive type, jet turbines, aircraft and industrial engines in various configurations.
But why should tractors get to have all the pulling fun? Monster Mayhem will also feature super two-wheel drive pulling trucks! What happens when you combine a 2,000 horsepower dragster truck with sled pulling? Sheer power! These trucks have blown alcohol motors similar to funny cars in drag racing!
Get ready to get down and dirty with mega truck mud bogging as seen in the "Trucks Gone Wild" series! Nothing gets your adrenaline going like seeing mud trucks fly through the air. And this isn't your daddy's mud racing – the Monster Mayhem mega mud truck are is hybrid of 4x4 and monster truck that has tires capable of taking on any mud pit – unless the track builders at Nutty Jerry's have something to say about it!
Spanky Spangler Jr. will amaze the crowd with his daredevil stunts. Following in his famous father's footsteps, Spanky Spangler Jr. represents the new breed of daredevil stuntmen. Spanky Jr. has been performing death-defying stunts all over the world since he was 12 years old with hundreds of stunts to his credit.
Find out what a monster truck driver experiences in competition with a ride in the famous Sgt. Smash Monster Ride Truck! Feel what it's like being whipped back and forth and kicking up clouds of dust in the ride truck arena! Nothing come closer to driving your own monster truck than taking a ride in Sgt. Smash!
The stars of Monster Mayhem will get up close and personal with fans before each event during the free Monster Mayhem Pit Party. Fans holding an event ticket will be allowed into the Monster Nation pits 90 minutes before each event to see the Monster Mayhem trucks up close, take photos, get autographs and meet the stars of Monster Mayhem.
Showtime is 6 p.m. on Saturday and 3 p.m. on Sunday. Advance VIP Seats are $30, general admission covered grandstands tickets are $22 for adults or $12 for kids, and GA lawn tickets are $17 and $12.

90 quid is a lot for what is basically the same Catlike Kompact that Euskaltel were wearing in the early 90s, with a dorky MTB peak slapped on the front.
The Catlike Kompact'O is a neat and simple helmet that keeps a lid on volume, weight and price. I've worn it for an extended period of racing and training. Rival road helmets may offer more in terms of features or fashion, but this one is competitively priced, well ventilated and lightweight.
It tips the scales at just 230g in the medium size. While there are lighter helmets out there, they're generally more expensive. The Giro Prolight, for example, is only 172g - but almost twice the price of the Kompact'O. Compared to Catlike's top of the range helmet, the Whisper Plus, the Kompact'O saves you a stack of cash and 20g.
The Kompact'O is not as distinctive looking and has fewer vents. But the 21 that it does have provide very good ventilation all the same. The anti-insect netting in the three main front vents didn't noticeably affect this, and I preferred having that extra bit of protection from wasp attack without having to resort to wearing something else under the helmet. In terms of impact protection, the Whisper Plus and Kompact'O do the same job: they both pass the same EN1078 standard for safety.
I'm at the upper end of the medium size range and found the Kompact'O a snug, comfortable fit. The helmet seemed much less bulky than others I have worn recently. It was easy to adjust for fit, and the retention system was simple and functional.
Negative points are minor. I needed to use a little bit of glue to stick down the padding on the rear of the cradle. One of the strap anchors on the top of the helmet seemed to work loose and pop up slightly every now and again (although this wouldn't affect the integrity of the helmet). And, if you're bothered by this sort of thing, the styling could be more extravagant and the range of colours wider.
For the road racer who doesn't want any fancy features or frills, the Catlike Kompact'O is a good, lightweight helmet that won't break the bank.

Softer Makeup: Going Coral — Once More, With Feeling!
Softer Makeup: Going Coral — Once More, With Feeling!
Just a quickie look here… something neutral so I could do some lip swatches! Ironically, this combination of eyeshadows recreates the look I did last week in a way–it's subtler, softer, but the strength of Coral Crepe really seems to keep everything in the same family.
Note: I'm also testing out Laura Mercier's Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer, but the shade is one too dark for me (it's Almond, for reference, which I think is suitable for NC30/NC35)–I mention this because you can tell I'm just a little "bronzed" in the photos. I'll be trying Sand, which should be a better fit, soon, but for now, I'm just wearing it for feel/texture, even if the shade doesn't match!
You will need the following…
- Eyes: MAC Soft Ochre Paint Pot (neutral beige base), MAC Coral Crepe Paint Pot (coral), Cle de Peau #1 Eyeshadow (champagne white), Cle de Peau #114 Eyeshadow (pink), Cle de Peau #111 Eyeshadow (dark brown), MAC Femme-fi Eyeshadow (highlighter), Guerlain Mirage Khol (brown), MAC NC15/NW20 Chromagraphic Pencil (nude), MAC Opulash Mascara (black)
- Face: Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer (Almond)
- Cheeks: YSL Golden Sand Terre Saharienne (bronze), NARS Enchanted Cream Blush (sheer peach)
- Lips: MAC Kraft Lipstick (peached brown), MAC Fold and Tuck Lipglass (coral)
- Brushes: 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 116 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: N/A
For eyes, start by applying Coral Crepe paint pot as your eyeshadow base all over the lid area with the 249, andn then apply Soft Ochre paint pot from crease to brow. Using the 239, apply #1 eyeshadow on the inner third of the eyelid. Next, apply #114 eyeshadow on the middle third of the eyelid and lightly blend with the inner corner. Darken the outer third of the lid with #111 eyeshadow with the 239, gently brushing it into the lower crease. Lightly blend #111 eyeshadow, with the 239, on the outer corner and lid. To finish the eyeshadow look, sweep Femme-fi eyeshadow as a highlighter on the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying Mirage khol on the lower water line and NC15/NW20 pencil lightly patted below the lower lash line and smudged with the 219 brush. Finish by sweeping lashes with Opulash mascara.
For cheeks, apply Enchanted cream blush on cheeks as a base, and then layer Golden Sand bronzer to the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 116.
For lips, apply Kraft lipstick first, and then layer Fold and Tuck lipglass for a complementing lip.
Check out more photos!
I look a little orange or bronzed, because I am was testing
out a new tinted moisturizer, but the shade is a wee darker than my
actual skin tone. But I didn't want to toss the whole look out the
window, so let's just go with super bronze, okay? 🙂

We've been getting plenty of news about Spider-Man's next film. We now know it'll include Rhino, Electro, Mary Jane Watson and Harry Osborn. Additionally, director Marc Webb has been tweeting from the set everyday with little hints to keep us guessing, too. But now over at Comingsoon.net, we have an official look at Peter Parker's new costume.
Wow, I really like these changes. The modifications to webhead's costume definitely feel closer to the source material and less... well, alien-ish. In case the old costume is a bit blurry in your memory, below I have a side-by-side comparison of the new costume and the one used in The Amazing Spider-Man.
Viners, are you a fan of this new costume or did you prefer the unique feel of the first outfit? Speak your mind below. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is scheduled to hit theaters May 2, 2014.

The carotid artery travels up each side of the neck and branches
into smaller vessels that supply blood to the brain. Blood flowing through the
carotid arteries (carotid pulses) can be felt on each side of the neck next to
the windpipe (trachea).
The carotid arteries are a common location for hardening of the
artery wall (atherosclerosis) to occur.

Toilet Paper Preparedness vs. True Resilience
Shannon Hayes lives in Schoharie County, New York, which was devastated by flooding in the wake of Hurricane Irene. She sends this report on what the experience has taught her about community resilience.
Embarrassing confession: On December 31, 1999, my husband Bob and I had a spare case of toilet paper and enough baking cocoa to last us a good 2 years. We didn't exactly buy in to the Y2K hype, but we didn't want to be caught with our pants down, either (especially if we were running short on toilet paper). We had just recently moved to our little cabin on a dirt road high on a mountaintop, and we figured it was just good, plain common sense.
After that, a certain degree of disaster preparedness became something of a habit. Most of it was just natural—the more stocked-up we were, the fewer times we'd have to turn on our car and burn money on gas. Plus, we were already motivated to put up plenty of local produce in the peak of the season, with the goal of eating well and saving lots of money on groceries.
Over the years we grew accustomed to the ice storms and four-foot snowfalls that could leave us stranded on our mountaintop, and simply built the necessary accommodations into our lives: a composting toilet tucked into a shed, cook stoves that would work in a power outage, a little checklist for disaster preparedness taped to the fridge. When Hurricane Irene was slamming Schoharie County, aside from the fact that our house was temporarily cut off from the farm and the rest of the community, life proceeded as normal in our home—that is, until the storm let up. At that point, "normal" became a lost fantasy as we confronted the damage facing the rest of our friends and neighbors.
A week after the first storm (and a few days before the second one), a well-meaning friend who lived several hours away called to check up on us. A keen follower of all developments related to climate change and fossil fuel shortages, he extended his hearty congratulations to my family. Our disaster preparedness was a sign of our resilience. We were passing a test that was a prelude to all the future calamities to come. We were survivors.
I bit my lip until it nearly bled in my effort to keep the words "screw you" from blurting out of my mouth. I politely ended the call, then slammed the telephone receiver on the desk, twice, before returning it to its cradle. Then I put my head down on my desk and wept. We didn't pass any tests. We were damned lucky. That's all. And too many people and places we care about were not.
A back-up propane stove and an outhouse are not testimonials to resilience. They are merely some extra tools to draw upon if your home is blessed by a massive stroke of good fortune that leaves it standing while those around you are destroyed. No amount of toilet paper, backyard vegetable plots, or canned tomato sauce could help a household suddenly flooded with eight feet of water.
That is not to say these things aren't extremely important. Our "toilet paper preparedness" kept us safe and comfortable so that resources could go to help those who were not. It empowered us to help folks around us. But canned produce, outhouses, and a backyard garden are merely surface-level survival tools. Surviving a true community disaster requires resilience at a far more profound depth.
And in the last six weeks, I have witnessed that resilience first-hand. Local families were given less than an hour to select which bits of their lives to save before evacuating their homes. Everyone left safely, without a single fatality. When the waters went down, victims returned to their houses, assisted by friends, family, and volunteers, and began the heinous work of cleaning up. The air was so thick with silt and fumes we could practically bite through it, yet most of us quickly doffed our facemasks, needing to see each other smile and laugh in the face of the mess more than we cared to protect our lungs. Our need and ability to connect with each other was critical to our ability to get through this.
How Resilient Are You?
Take the quiz to find out.
I watched as friends let go of all the now-ruined little personal items we collect in our homes that come to define a lifetime: a child's drawing saved for twenty years, old love letters, favorite books, family heirlooms. Sentimental attachments had to be released; memories would have to suffice. Acquisitions and wealth flew out the window, too. Homelessness is a sudden norm, even among our most established families. Single family homes are suddenly two family dwellings; vacation properties are now occupied with full-time residents. Schoharie County has settled in for the winter in a state of unknowing. We don't know where everybody is going to live, what infrastructure will be re-built, where to return our library books. We've lost homes, personal treasures, public spaces and buildings, farmland, roads.
With all of these artifacts of our lives stripped away, I see the true resilience. We have remained a community. We stay connected with each other. Check-out counters hold collection jars; local benefit dinners and concerts abound; schools send buses out of district to bring students back to their local classmates; farmers work to cover each others' crop and product shortages; families and friends continue to help each other repair and rebuild. True resilience is not in having a fortified home that can stand in isolation with an abundance of toilet paper. True resilience is in our relationships to each other. Because wherever those relationships exist, home will rebuild itself.
More from Shannon Hayes....
How families are achieving ecological, social, and economic transformation... starting under their own roofs.
People ask me, "How do you do it all?" The answer is, I don't … and there's a good reason for that.
More on community resilience....
It's time to talk honestly about collapse–no matter how others may respond.
We can strengthen our communities and ourselves to prepare for the uncertain world of failing economies, climate change, and oil depletion.

There's a sad note this morning in the world of football. Chandler Williams, a seventh-round pick of the Vikings in 2007 and a current member of the Arena Football League's Tampa Bay Storm, died on Saturday while playing flag football.
According to Local10.com, Williams died of natural causes while participating in a flag-football tournament in Florida.
"We are shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of Chandler," Tampa Bay Storm president Derrick Brooks said. "Our heart and prayers go out to his fiancée Vanitia Harrigan, daughter Tori Williams and the rest of his family."
Williams, 27, played college football at Florida International University. He also spent time with the Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons, Kansas City Chiefs, and the CFL's Toronto Argonauts.

New Economy, New Ways to Work
|Well-run businesses require a hierarchy of highly paid executives.
|Worker co-ops are efficient and democratic, and workers keep the profits.
|The freedom to do ecological damage improves the business climate.
|If we destroy the environment, there is no business … or climate.
|Large corporations are efficient, innovative, and create jobs.
|Locally rooted small- and medium-sized businesses create the jobs and innovations we need.
Do you want new jobs in your community? With layoffs and businesses closing, who doesn't? The standard formula is to offer big corporations subsidies and tax breaks. Throw in lax environmental and labor standards, and you may win the new-jobs sweepstakes—until another city offers a better deal. There's another way—build your economy from local assets. Worker co-ops, in particular, are enjoying a resurgence. The Mondragón cooperatives in Spain started up to provide jobs during an economic slump; today, they employ 100,000 worker/owners. In the South Bronx, a new green worker co-op is reselling salvaged building materials. In Cleveland, co-ops will soon be servicing the city's most stable employers—hospitals and colleges. These businesses employ the poor and keep jobs local. Many have a distinctly green tinge. Instead of flying off to distant shareholders, the profits go to the worker/owners who keep them circulating close to home.

YES! But How? Ditch the Fridge
Great-granny knew that most foods actually don't need refrigeration and that other methods often work better to preserve freshness and flavor. Many fruits and veggies are best kept out of the fridge, but in a cool, ventilated space.
A closet, mudroom, basement, or garage may work if you'd like to create a modern version of great-granny's pantry. If you live in a low-humidity area, you could try a zeer, a North African pot-in-pot that keeps contents cool by evaporation. If you're ambitious and your home permits, you could create a root cellar or look into building a cold cabinet into the north wall of your home.
Some city dwellers live fridge-free by shopping locally and often, container gardening, and joining a community garden or CSA. People who have access to land may be able to grow more of their own food and harvest as needed. Leafy greens, for example, may be harvested repeatedly, and many root vegetables stay fresh in the ground. Healthy hens in the backyard provide an ongoing supply of fresh eggs (unwashed eggs have a protective coating that helps preserve them at room temperature). Some people who've kicked the ice habit find that drinking water cool, rather than iced, is actually better for their digestion.
If you do decide to replace your old fridge with a smaller one, look at Energy Star ratings and keep in mind that chest freezers and refrigerators are much more efficient than the standard upright models. Finally, disposal of refrigerators should involve careful recovery and recycling, particularly for older models that contain CFCs. So make sure your old fridge is handled according to the guidelines of the EPA's Responsible Appliance Disposal Program.

While highly regarded and highly rated, Washington red wines have had something of a glass ceiling in Wine Spectator over the years. As noted previously, ninety-six points has been a high water mark for Washington in this publication. In fact, of the many Washington wines reviewed by Wine Spectator each year, only seven wines from three wineries - Cayuse, Leonetti, and Cote Bonneville - have even received a score of 96 points. This spans over 4,000 wine reviews.
This is nothing to be ashamed of. Rather it is an indication of the rare air of such scores in this publication. To wit, in the most recent twelve months, only 38 out of 6,127 red wines reviewed by Wine Spectator have received scores of 97 points or higher (0.6% for those keep track at home). That said, no Washington wine has ever been in that group.
Until now.
In its upcoming issue Wine Spectator has awarded Charles Smith's 2006 Royal City Syrah a 97 point rating. This makes it the highest rated Washington red wine by this publication. The 2006 Royal City Syrah, released last November and sold out long before that, received a 100 point rating from Wine Enthusiast – its first for a Washington wine – and a 98 point rating from Wine Advocate. This is, quite simply, a recording breaking wine. It is also another feather in the quill-filled cap of winemaker Charles Smith who was also named Wine & Spirits 'Winemaker of the Year' in 2009.
This rating continues an unprecedented string of recent accolades for Washington wine, most prominently Wine Spectator's naming the Columbia Crest Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon its 'Wine of the Year' in 2009. While some may wonder about the overall significance of such scores and accomplishments, have no doubt. Consumers, retailers, distributors, restaurants, and others who impact the wine industry take notice.
So what does all this increased attention mean? It means Washington is entering a new phase in its development as a world-class wine region. Buckle yourself in and enjoy the ride.

Is this wine really *that* great? Now I'm afraid to open the one bottle I do have!
Let me say this. Wine Enthusiast's Paul Gregutt has been tasting and reviewing Washington wine longer than millennial wine drinkers have been alive. Ditto for Harvey Steiman at Wine Spectator. These scores are not an insubstantial accomplishment. That said, everyone has their personal preferences so it may be an exceptional wine that is not to your taste.
Word on the web is that it needs time in the bottle or extended decanting (one comment I read said two days) to be properly enjoyed. I have a few bottles in the cellar that await their destiny but similarly look at them in fear. Let me know if you open your bottle up!
The wine is so phreakin' good, I don't know how anyone could keep it around for 2 days.
I reviewed it last October and it is the real deal, especially when it was $80, suckas!
If you have a bottle, open it! Why hang on to it? What if you die with that bottle still in your cellar? Oh, the regret!
Besides, I also have extras. Always willing to wheel-n-deal!
Not to mention Jay Miller for Parker (Wine Advocate 98pts)...he also said: "His 2006 collection is as good or better than anything he has done to date, although a tasting of 2007 barrel samples indicate that the best is yet to come." Just tried the 2007 Royal City and guess what?! Jay was right! Spectacular! So if you're wondering about the 2006, just drink it - and buy lots of the 2007.
WAWineman, you make a strong argument. If I die tomorrow I will hold you personally responsible. Then again, that gives me one night to open this bottle. :)
Anon, your comment and Miller's review provide similar inspiration.
Say no more folks, I will crack a bottle open soon. Thanks for the comments!
PaulG Says:
I tasted the wine three times before awarding the 100 point score - my first (and still only perfect score). And at the time (this is now almost a year ago) the wine definitely needed decanting and many hours of breathing time to open up.
Paul, thanks for the comment and ideas on decanting. Looking forward to giving it a try.
Micah Nasarow Says:
These are great comments. I have two bottles and plan on opening one up here in a couple of weeks for my wifes 30th birthday. The common theme appears to be decant, decant, decant...but two days seems a bit long...maybe two hours.
Sean, maybe get a little special virtual tasting going on with this one.
Micah, let me know when your wife's b day is. Happy to come over and help share the bottle in person instead of doing the VT! You could spin it to your wife as a 'unique opportunity' birthday present :).
Thanks for the comment. Let us know what you think if you open a bottle.

GYN Cancer Robotics FAQ
What is the surgery called?
Robot-assisted total hysterectomy (removal of uterus with cervix), bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of both fallopian tubes and ovaries) is for endomentrial and benign cancer cases. With early stage cervical cancer, we call it radical hysterectomy, which entails getting wider surgical margins.
What exactly is removed in my surgery?
In your surgery the uterus (womb), fallopian tubes and ovaries will be removed. If cancer has spread outside of uterus (or ovary), we will remove lymph nodes in the pelvis and abdomen.
How should I prepare for my surgery?
When you come to Roswell Park for a consultation there is a lot of information we need to make sure we do the best job possible. The information can include an up-to-date list of your medications, previous surgeries, allergies, and current medical conditions.
Extensive information on what to expect in the days leading up to surgery can be found in our GYN preop booklet.
How long is my surgery, and how long do I stay in the hospital?
The amount of time the surgery takes can vary between patients, but is on average 2-3 hours. If lymph nodes need to be removed surgery can take longer.
After a hysterectomy you may be required to stay in the hospital overnight. The time varies for each type of hysterectomy and how it was performed. Some discomfort is expected for the first few days after the surgery, and you will be given medication for this. After robotic surgery the discomfort is very minimal. You should expect vaginal spotting and discharge for several weeks. Sanitary pads can be used for this.
It is important to follow your health care provider's instructions after surgery. Get lots of rest, and do not lift heavy objects unless permitted by your doctor. You should not douche, use tampons, or have sex for the first 8 weeks. It is important to continue seeing your health care provider for routine exams even after recovery.
What do I go home with?
After a routine robotic hysterectomy, you'll go home with a script for pain medicine and a stool softener. If a radical hysterectomy is performed, the doctor will leave the Foley catheter in to allow the bladder to recover. This is removed at your first post-op visit.
When will I follow up with my doctor?
If there aren't any problems, the first routine post-op visit will be scheduled in 2 weeks. Sometimes, if there's a Foley catheter, you may have to return sooner.
What will happen in the weeks after surgery?
2 to 4 Weeks After Your Surgery:
- At your first visit after your surgery your doctor will discuss your pathology report with you
- Your doctor will check your vital signs, bladder function, bowel function, and your incisions
- Keep a list of any problems or questions you have before this appointment so you can discuss them with your doctor
- Please discuss with your doctor any pain you are still experiencing so you can work out a pain management plan
- You may be referred to another healthcare professional, including a Chemotherapy nurse or Radiation Oncologist at Roswell Park depending on your pathology report and your treatment plan
4 to 6 Weeks After Your Surgery:
- At this follow-up visit you can expect to have a physical examination
- Keep a list of any problems or questions you have before this appointment so you can discuss them with your doctor
- Please discuss with your doctor any pain you are still experiencing so you can work out a pain management plan

Rep. Phil Gingrey's attempts to explain Todd Akin's rape remarks are leaving many Republicans beyond frustrated that a few in their party can't help but insert rape into the already contentious abortion debate.
"This is actually pretty simple. If you're about to talk about rape as anything other than a brutal and horrible crime, stop," said Republican strategist Kevin Madden, who was a senior adviser in Mitt Romney's campaign.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: 5 controversial Todd Akin quotes)
On Thursday, the Georgia Republican didn't heed that advice, telling a local Chamber of Commerce breakfast that Akin was "partially right" when he said last year that a woman can stop herself from getting pregnant.
"We tell infertile couples all the time that are having trouble conceiving because of the woman not ovulating, 'Just relax. Drink a glass of wine. And don't be so tense and uptight because all that adrenaline can cause you not to ovulate,'" Gingrey said.
He also said that Akin's definition of a "non-legitimate rape" could be "a scared-to-death 15-year-old that becomes impregnated by her boyfriend and then has to tell her parents."
The comments were reported by the Marietta Daily Journal. Gingrey later said that he wasn't trying to defend remarks by Akin or Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, and that his position was misconstrued "in my attempt to provide context as to what I presumed they meant."
But Gingrey's lengthy explanation of what Akin meant was quickly circulated by Democrats, repudiated by medical groups, and had some Republicans smacking their heads in frustration.
( PHOTOS: Obama's top 20 jabs at the GOP)
And it may have added new urgency to a training program that's already being launched by an anti-abortion group — the Susan B. Anthony list — to keep candidates and lawmakers from continually making the same kind of comments that may have helped ruin Republicans' chances of winning the Senate.
Former Rep. Mary Bono Mack (R-Calif.) questioned why Gingrey was talking about the months-old comment in the first place.
"There's no way to defend what Todd Akin said," Bono Mack said. "You just can't do it and you shouldn't try to put it into a scientific context. It was a bad statement. And to try to defend it or explain someone else's poor choice of words, it would be a fool's errand."
Bono Mack, who was first elected in 1998 but lost her reelection this fall, said some House Republicans don't understand the full range of emotions associated with the abortion debate.
"It was my belief when I was in the Congress, and I tried to explain this to my colleagues: The abortion issue isn't just about abortion. It's about so much more. It's about delving into what it means to women and what it means to Americans," she said. For women, it means "a loss of autonomy. To Americans, it means government intrusion into their lives."
Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser said the lawmakers are falling for a trap set by proponents of abortion rights who want to focus the debate on extremes such as rape instead of other abortions.

General computable functions can be described either functionally (in terms of closure of the coordinate functions, constant functions, composition, primitive recursion, and $\mu$-recursion), or in terms of a Turing machine.
I have only seen primitive recursion defined in the functional language, i.e. functions obtained by coordinates, constants, composition, primitive recursion.
Is there a similar type of machine model for primitive recursion?
I am aware of some (pedagogical) programming languages, such as Hofstadter's BLOOP, that are PR-complete, but this approach doesn't really look like a Turing machine to me.
