There's this bus driver here in Madison, WI who lets all the black people on the bus for free and makes everyone from the other races pay. Some bus drivers are just really annoying.

Seriously ? There's stupid people everywhere (probably more here in Quebec but yeah..), and it's not because one stupid guy hated on you because you were talking english that everyone in Quebec is not polite... Don't hate on us because of one retard.

You're really trying to get into it with the King of Sarcasm on FML? Not to mention that there is a very big difference between a bus driver and an ambulance driver. A bus driver has a very strict schedule to keep, and holding up an entire bus full of people (who actually WERE punctual enough to make it to their bus stops on time) just for one slow person is ridiculous. An ambulance driver, on the other hand, is there for ONE sick person who potentially needs to go to the hospital. Get a clue.
generalasskicker | 12
doc you beat me to it I wanted to point out how stupid that was sry if double post
generalasskicker | 12
obviously not if op got left
Ninjafriends | 1
Generally, buses waiting for you is actually not a requirement, but a courtesy. You're the one who is supposed to be waiting at the bus stop. If OP was just a few seconds trot away from the bus, the driver is indeed an @sshole. But, if it were a whole block, you're too much of a hold-up.

Many years ago, so long ago that I don't remember where, I bought a quilt top. I believe it was in an antique/second hand store, but I'm not even sure about that. I do know that it was before I knew much about quilting, and for several years I bought quilt tops in places like these and quilted them.
Fast forward to 2004 or so, the quilt guild I belong to had a program one night on Turkey Red quilts. I had never heard of them before, but it got me thinking about that old quilt top that was in the cedar closet in the basement. You see, I had sandwiched it with muslin and safety pinned it with a polyester batting, high-loft. The fabric was thin, too thin for the batting, and I had started hand quilting it but abandoned the project. Some months later, thinking perhaps the quilt top was more valuable than first thought, I removed the safety pins and undid the little stitching that I had begun.
Last weekend was the Evergreen Quilt Show here in Green Bay, WI. They had an appraiser, and I made an appointment to take the old quilt top. Well, you guessed it. It is dated between 1890 and 1910, all hand pieced (I already knew that), and about 74" square. Thank goodness I got those safety pins out of there when I did. The appraiser said I should quilt it. That doing so would give the 100-year-old hand stitches some foundation and help to preserve it.
I went out the next day and bought appropriate backing and just spent the morning getting the backing on to the quilt frame, only to discover that the cotton batting I planned to use is not wide enough. Oh no! Another trip to the fabric store.

Nifty closes above 9900
After last week's sharp fall, over the last 4 days continuously Nifty managed to close in positive note and crossed the 9,900 level. It also recovered the 50% of the recent fall. The last 4 day's candle body and candle sizes are not significant enough to justify the trend reversal.Read more

Gothic clothes is a technique of sporting gown by members of the Goth subculture. It's usually a darkish, typically morbid style and elegance of gown and the perfect Gothic trend is dyed black hair, black lips and black garments.
Usually each female and male Gothic put on darkish eyeliner and darkish fingernails. Types are sometimes borrowed from the Punks, Victorians and Elizabethans. Imagery and paraphernalia are additionally widespread. A few of the famend couture designers comparable to Alexander McQueen and John Galliano, have been related to the Gothic type.
Gothic type flourished notably in the course of the excessive and late medieval period. The type advanced from Romanesque structure and was succeeded by Renaissance structure. Gothic types may be acknowledged by the Gothic Clothes, Gothic Shirts, Gothic corsets and Gothic costumes that she or he wears. Such gown codes are favored by men and women even immediately they usually go for such clothes on some particular events.
This type could be traced again to the twelfth century France and over a time period after evolution reached its apogee within the sixteenth century. Within the late medieval interval, the Gothic fashion was referred to as primarily the French Fashion. In reality, the time period Gothic appeared first in the course of the latter a part of the Renaissance.
In response to Wilson, the roots of the modern Gothic clothes are discovered within the Victorian cult of mourning. Gothic trend can simply be acknowledged by its stark black clothes (or hair or make-up). This type emerged alongside the Gothic rock scene within the Nineteen Eighties. Gothic types are additionally characterised by deathly pallor, again-combed or black hair, ruffled Regency shirts, stovepipe hats, leather-based clothes, spiked canine collars, the ensemble equipment with spiritual, magical or macabre jewellery (bone earrings, rosaries, pentacles, ankhs, skulls), sometimes produced from silver and so forth.
Within the phrases of Ted Phloem's, a Gothic costume is a "profusion of black velvets, lace, fishnets and leather-based tinged with scarlet or purple, equipment with tightly laced corsets, gloves, precarious stilettos and silver jewellery depicting spiritual or occult themes."
Actually Gothic fashion was a response towards the slick fashions of the 1970's and a protest towards the colourful pastels and extravagance of the 1980's. Black hair, darkish clothes and pale complexions give the essential look of the Goth Dresser. Nevertheless, Gothic clothes should not be misconstrued with heavy metallic trend. Gothic type is a mix of recent and conventional designs.

(Adds analysis, quotes, stocks on the move)
SYDNEY, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Australian shares were mostly flat on Friday in choppy trade and were due to post a loss this month, the first losing January in four years, as weak metal prices undercut an uptick in private sector credit.
Resource stocks pulled the market lower after copper and iron ore prices fell as the Chinese New Year holiday hampered demand for commodities.
BHP Billiton Ltd fell 0.4 percent and Rio Tinto Ltd lost 0.3 percent each.
Coal shipping ports in northeastern Australia remained closed on Friday after a powerful slammed into the coast in the early hours, packing heavy winds and generating giant tides, port officials said.
PanAust Ltd dipped 0.9 percent while NuCoal Resources Ltd tumbled 12 percent as the miner faces legal challenges regarding its licence at Doyle Creek.
The S&P/ASX 200 index slipped 3.1 points to 5,185.0 by 0100 GMT and is set to lose 1.1 percent for the week, its fourth consecutive week of losses. The benchmark fell 0.8 percent on Thursday.
Elsewhere the benchmark recovered from session lows following news private sector credit had increased by 0.5 percent in December.
"I think that's certainly helping, you've seen all the banks recover as well and that's certainly a key reflection of that," said John Milroy, division director at Macquarie Private Wealth.
"It points to the fact that the consumer might be spending a bit more."
Shares in Australian retailer David Jones Ltd jumped 4.5 percent after saying it had rejected a takeover approach from Myer Holdings Ltd worth A$1.4 billion in October 2013 and was no longer in talks.
Elsewhere, the financial sector recovered with two of the Big Four banks posting gains. Commonwealth Bank of Australia Australia and New Zealand Banking Group both eked out a 0.1 percent gain.
Overnight, the S&P 500 scored its biggest gain in more than a month on Thursday as Facebook led a tech rally and data showed the U.S. economy was on solid footing in the fourth quarter of last year, helping to offset broader losses in the local market.
Australian manufacturer Nufarm Ltd lost 1.5 percent to 9-month lows of A$3.94 after the company said it had agreed with a unit of Sumitomo Chemical Co to distribute Valent branded products in the United States from February 16.
Australia's sharemarket has shed 3.1 percent in January, a patchy start to the year as investors sold out of equities on slowing growth in China and the U.S. Federal Reserve continuing to taper its bond-buying program.
New Zealand's benchmark NZX 50 index rose 0.8 percent or 38.6 points to 4,888.4.

Absolutely lovely dress, come exactly as picture with one small difference, the green on the rose shows up slightly lighter than in the picture, so it's possible the design had a little change in that regard, but I actually prefer the lighter green as it makes the rose stand out more.
This is a very elegant dress that thanks to the small amount of spandex in it, is very forgiving and comfortable, rather than being too tight.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of online clothes shopping it does get a bit wrinkled in transit, so make sure to give yourself time to steam it before your event.
I only found one flaw with this dress and that was that the rose had quite a lot of frayed and loose stitching at the back, for that reason I would recommend tighter quality control on the rose area for the EA selections company. However, it's a pretty minor problem as you can trim the threads yourself, but obviously it's better if this is fixed before it causes a problem for a customer.
The bottom of the dress has a small faux-crinoline netting design and the collar and sleeve cuffs are edged in a pretty silk. All the stitching (apart from the rose) was perfect quality. If the rose could be fixed for future orders, this would be a five star product for sure!
Protip: Wear with a crinoline underneath for a true vintage look that will 'wow' everyone around you!
+ Very forgiving and flattering.
+ Doesn't fit tight with some stretch and seams that draw the eye to the right area.
+ Collars and cuffs are edged in silk which is a very pretty detail.
+ Cute faux-crinoline edging at the bottom.
+ Vintage look at a good price.
+ Sizes go up to XL
- Attached silk rose was a little frayed at the back, needs better quality control or improvement in this area.
- Larger sizes would be a big benefit as plus size market doesn't offer many beautiful styles.

This post is sponsored by Wayfair. I received a set of Adirondack Chairs to finish and style for this post on Tips to Build and Paint Adirondack Chairs.
Anticipating sunny summer days, lots of outdoor family activities, barbecues and get-togethers with neighbors and friends makes me excited to create a warm, welcoming outdoor space where we can sit back and relax, together. Furnishing and decorating the beautiful deck, at our new home, is one of my warm-weather goals. Now, if warm weather would only settle in, I'd be set! Nebraska weather is consistent in that it is incredibly INconsistent. After experiencing some gorgeous seventy and eighty degree temperatures in early and mid-April, the urge to get started on that deck project has been strong! But, even though it's nearly May, we've reverted back to freezing, winter temps, cloudy skies and rain. Snow is even predicted for Sunday. Oy!
I received a package from Wayfair, this week. It was the wonderful unfinished Adirondack chairs I've been waiting for! Even though it was too cold and wet to assemble and paint them, outside, I wasn't going to let a little cold keep me from at least putting them together and getting them painted. Once the project was finished, I decided to share a few tips to build and paint Adirondack chairs, that I learned along the way.
If I build them, summer will come, right? Actually, I should say, if THEY build them summer will come. David and our middle granddaughter were the two talented carpenters who assembled the chairs for me. We set up a mini shop area in the garage and the chairs came together, beautifully. Even in their natural, unfinished state they were attractive, but after our grandkids and I painted them to coordinate with the color scheme I want for the deck, I was thrilled with how pretty the chairs turned out. It will be fun to incorporate them into an outdoor living space with our existing patio furniture. As an added bonus, they are incredibly comfortable. I can't wait to sit back and relax in these fantastic Adirondack chairs, this summer!
My Finished Product
Try as I might, lovelies, I could not change this Nebraska weather for you. Mother Nature rained on my parade, even this morning, as I hoped for one final chance to get pictures in the sunshine. But, since we're friends, I know you'll help me out. Run quick and put on your ruby flip-flops. Click your heels together three times and then squint reeeeaaally hard. Imagine these gorgeous Adirondack chairs on this deck, but the deck is dry and the sun is GLORIOUS. Imagine a fresh pitcher of Blueberry Lemon Iced Tea and the laughter of happy people, relaxing comfortably. Now, you've got it! Thanks so much! You're a peach!
Tips to Build and Paint Adirondack Chairs
- Choose a quality Exterior Paint. Your chairs need to stand up to sunlight and all kinds of weather conditions, not to mention the wear-and-tear of people sitting in them. Choose paint specifically made for outdoor projects. One with a warranty of 10 or more years is ideal. I bought paint with Primer in it, but if you don't, you'll also need to purchase Outdoor Primer.
- Sand the furniture pieces to remove any splinters and/or rough spots. Then wipe them down to remove any dust.
- I assembled the chairs first and then sanded and painted. If I had to do it over, again, I would sand and paint BEFORE assembling. Once the chairs are assembled, it is more difficult to reach in between, under and behind all the slats and sections to apply the paint, evenly. Doing the sanding and painting, first, would eliminate that problem.
- Apply the paint in thin coats, allowing each coat to dry, before applying the next. I recommend applying two to three coats, to help the finish be even more durable and weather resistant.
- Assemble the chairs, using the instructions included.
- Once they're finished, move your chairs to a comfortable spot in the yard or on your deck/patio. Create a furniture grouping that is inviting and comfortable for friends and family.
Sit Back and Relax
Enjoy the fruits of your labor and share some special times with the people you love! Make great memories and have a fabulous summer, my friend!

Khosh amadid! Welcome to my new blog! I've been writing the blog polyglotinwanderlust for some time now, but I decided that I needed a new blog for all things Persian. Many people have told me that Iran and its culture are like a "black hole." They don't know much about it, and it's hard to find good information out there that isn't politically biased. People of a country are separate from their government, so I'm here to write about the stuff you don't hear much about- cultural, language, and travel. With this blog, I hope to show you a side of Iran that you may not know much about!
Check me out on Twitter and Flickr, and feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions!
Welcome to My Persian Corner!

PDF version: The Elephant in the Courtroom
Case Considered: Reece v Edmonton (City), 2011 ABCA 238
In March 2011 the Court of Appeal heard an appeal by Zoocheck Canada, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and Tove Reece (collectively referred to as Zoocheck here) from Justice John Rooke's August 2010 decision to strike Zoocheck's application for a declaration that the City of Edmonton is violating the Animal Protection Act, RSA 2000 c. A-41 by keeping Lucy the Elephant in its Valley Zoo. See my previous ABlawg comment Lucy the Elephant v Edmonton (City) for some analysis of Justice Rooke's decision (Reece v Edmonton (City), 2010 ABQB 538), the background concerning Lucy's health problems and living conditions in the zoo, the applicable legislative framework, and the City's motion to strike the Zoocheck application. In its August 2011 Reece v Edmonton (City) decision the Court of Appeal dismisses the Zoocheck appeal, with the majority written by Justice Frans Slatter upholding the finding at the Court of Queen's Bench that the application for a declaration constitutes an abuse of process. In her lengthy dissenting opinion, Madame Justice Catherine Fraser rules the Zoocheck application is not an abuse of process and should go to trial. This Court of Appeal decision is noteworthy to me for three reasons: (1) the sharp contrast of legal theory underlying the majority and the dissent; (2) the environmental ethic informing Justice Fraser's dissent; and (3) the comments made by Justice Fraser concerning the availability of public interest standing.
This decision is an excellent illustration in the contrast between legal positivism (majority) and legal realism (dissent) in judicial reasoning, and demonstrates how a legal perspective influences the result. The positivism in Justice Slatter's majority judgment is demonstrated in his refusal to consider the purpose of the Animal Protection Act and the evidence concerning Lucy's health and wellbeing at the Valley Zoo (at paras 12-13), as well as his strong adherence to the separation of powers between the judiciary and the executive. In Justice Slatter's view, the result in this appeal hinges exclusively on the application of the abuse of process doctrine which is considered apart from any factual context of the dispute. He canvasses the case law on the doctrine, noting that abuse of process is typically established where proceedings are oppressive or vexatious and bring the administration of justice into disrepute.
The Zoocheck application is characterized by Justice Slatter as a request by a private litigant to rectify a public wrong. Justice Slatter observes the law is reluctant to grant equitable or declaratory relief in such cases unless the private litigant can demonstrate extraordinary damages beyond those inflicted on the general public. Otherwise, it is for the Attorney General to pursue legal action against the wrongdoer in the name of the public interest. As well, Justice Slatter cites precedent for why courts are reluctant to grant declaratory relief concerning the breach of a penal statute: Namely, that the protections of the criminal law available to the defendant – such as the burden of proof – are not available in civil proceedings. In short, Justice Slatter agrees with how Justice Rooke decided this matter in the first instance: The Zoocheck application is an abuse of process because it does not conform to the legislative path for bringing the issue to the courts and it is an attempt to enforce the criminal law with a civil action.
In addition, Justice Slatter questions whether the Zoocheck application raises a justiciable issue:
Whether the City is discharging its operational duties in the care of Lucy is a hotly contested issue. It is not appropriate to expect the courts to take over the animal husbandry of the animals at the City zoo through the ability to issue declarations on points of law. . . . Further, it is not the role of the superior courts to review every operational decision made by government, and the courts do not have the resources needed to deal with the volume of applications that could be generated if the procedure chosen by the appellants was endorsed. The role of the superior courts is limited to reviewing the legality of executive action, and does not extend to examining the policy choices made by the executive branch. (at para 35, emphasis in original)
With respect, I think Justice Slatter overstates the consequences of the Zoocheck application to make his point. Zoocheck is not asking the Court to operate the zoo, and this application does not ask the Court to review every decision of government. In overstating these consequences, Justice Slatter obscures the novel and important legal issues raised in this case. These issues are noted by Chief Justice Catherine Fraser in opening of her dissent (at para 47):
- Under what circumstances can citizens or advocacy groups be granted public interest standing to seek a declaratory judgment that the government itself has failed to comply with animal welfare laws?
- Under what circumstances, if any, and to whom, is a civil declaratory judgment an available remedy where the alleged unlawful government acts may also be the subject of a prosecution under a regulatory animal welfare statute?
- Is the government, and that includes the City as an arm of the state, immunized from judicial scrutiny of alleged unlawful acts?
Justice Fraser is a legal realist in her dissent. She is reluctant to strike pleadings as an abuse of process out of concern for sterilizing the ability of the law to respond to evolving societal norms and values such as the rise of animal welfarism which underlies these proceedings. Accordingly, Justice Fraser interprets the abuse of process doctrine much more narrowly than the majority does, and she notes precedent for the rule that the Court should only strike pleadings in 'plain and obvious cases' (at para 129).
Whereas the positivism in the majority judgment finds it unnecessary to address the animal welfare context of this dispute or the specific evidence on Lucy's health problems and living conditions at the zoo, Justice Fraser in contrast observes the law is all about context (at para 119) and she rules this context and evidence must be considered in order to decide whether to grant the City's motion to strike.
The context of this dispute is society's recognition that non-human animals – in particular those who feel pain and pleasure – have moral standing. Their interests must be considered in determining how we ought to treat them, although in its utilitarian form animal welfarism allows for the suffering by non-human animals at the hands of humanity for the purpose of economic well-being, science, or recreation. Justice Fraser provides the most thorough description of this animal welfare ethic that I have read in Alberta jurisprudence (at paras 51-71), and she observes this context is reflected in the governing legislation here including the Animal Protection Act and the Government of Alberta zoo standards (I canvassed this governing legislation in my previous ABlawg comment on this case noted in the first paragraph above).
Justice Fraser emphasizes the purpose of these legislative rules is to protect animals with rights and obligations. And moreover Justice Fraser acknowledges these legal protections remain somewhat minimal, susceptible to being overridden by human interests, and difficult to enforce. Accordingly, to ensure the purpose of these legal rules is met Justice Fraser asserts the courts should interpret these legal rules and obligations generously and resist creating barriers towards their implementation (at paras 71, 88-91).
Justice Fraser extensively reviews the Zoocheck affidavit evidence on Lucy's health problems and living conditions at the zoo (at paras 92-127). She draws upon this analysis together with her purposive interpretation of the applicable legislation to identify the important and novel legal issues raised by the Zoocheck application which should be heard in a trial. In her view, it is not plain and obvious this application is contrary to the interests of justice and it is therefore not an abuse of process (at paras 134, 146). Moreover, Justice Fraser observes that unlawful conduct often attracts more than one form of legal process (civil and criminal). Accordingly, she questions why the prospect of a regulatory prosecution under the Animal Protection Act necessarily leads to the conclusion reached by the majority in the Court of Appeal and Justice Rooke in the Court of Queen's Bench that the Zoocheck application for a civil declaration amounts to an abuse of process. This is particularly so where it appears that the Zoocheck application is the only means by which the City will be held to account for adherence to the law (at paras 157-168).
Justice Fraser ends her dissent by holding that Zoocheck should be granted public interest standing in this case (I discuss the general test for public interest standing in my previous ABlawg comment on this case noted in the first paragraph above). In doing so, she reinforces some important points on public interest standing. In particular, she notes that public interest standing has strong connections to the rule of law and reminds us that the superior courts have inherent discretion to grant public interest standing to an individual or group to initiate legal proceedings that assert a public right to government in accordance with the law. Public interest standing and abuse of process are closely linked, and a finding on abuse of process cannot be used to deny standing. The two doctrines go hand-in-hand (at paras 139-143).
Justice Fraser's finding here that public interest standing is available in civil proceedings that seek a judicial declaration is not without precedent in Alberta. The Court of Queen's Bench initially applied the public interest standing rule in Alberta with its 1992 Reese v Alberta (Minister of Forestry, Lands and Wildlife) (1992), 87 DLR (4th) 1, 123 AR 241 decision to grant standing to an individual and 3 environmental groups who similarly were seeking a declaration on the legality of executive action under governing legislation.
In the context of public interest environmental litigation, the two challenges facing an applicant for public interest standing are typically (1) is there a justiciable issue (if not then standing is not granted) and (2) is there another reasonable and effective way to bring the issue before the courts (if so then standing is not granted). Justice Fraser has no difficulty identifying a number of justiciable issues in this case (as noted above) and she makes a very noteworthy point in rejecting the City's argument that public interest standing is not available in civil proceedings where the Attorney General may prosecute. In my previous comment I suggested it is a mockery of the law to expect the Attorney General to prosecute the executive in this case. Justice Fraser is not quite as blunt, but she does remark that "[a] reasonable and effective alternative to a proceeding holding the executive branch to account cannot logically be a proceeding which can only occur with the effective consent of the executive branch" (at para 191). Similarly she rejects the argument that petitioning the responsible government official(s) to act is a reasonable alternative: "[A]n effective alternative is not one that can be dismissed out of hand" (at para 193). These statements could and should prove material in future public interest environmental litigation in Alberta.

Apple introduced the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus earlier this week, calling it "the best, most advanced iPhone ever."
Pre-ordering began today (September 9) for the new phone, which doesn't look much different than the iPhone 6s, but features more storage, a better camera, stereo speakers and a longer battery life. It will also be dust and water-resistant.
The biggest change, however, is that the phone will no longer have a headphone jack! You will still be able to use headphones via an adapter, but wireless AirPods will cost you an extra $159.


text: Hi gals, I will be making a trip to Bangkok sometime in end-February and I know there are a couple of Balenciaga stores there: in Siam Paragon etc. Just wondering if anyone knows if the prices of the bags in BKK are lower and if the selection is any good? TIA!

I don't like novels that are 'one time reads', movies that are 'one time watch' and places that are 'one time visits'. I love when one time is just not enough. I want books that can be read until the pages are tattered, scenes that can be watched until you can recite all dialog, and cities that can be visited until you can call it your home.
So, when I was sitting at my balcony in Malvan, feeling lonely and a bit homesick, I realized I am just 150 kilometers away from what's known to be the 'Beach capital' of India but is actually much more than that.
Figuring out how to reach and finding a budget home-stay for a couple of days was easy. I was excited to board the train on Konkan line which is known to be one of the most beautiful railway tracks in India. Though it was late by 2 hours and I had started doubting my decision to leave for Goa, I was amazed by the views from window seat the moment train left the station. It was so scenic that I did not want the journey to end. I was secretly wishing that it slows down for the rest of the distance when we reached the 1st station of Goa, but was equally pleased that mine was the last stop and took as many pictures as I could.
I did not have a list of places to visit or things to do once I reach but somehow I knew I'll be glad. It started with my hosts picking me up from railway station when I told them I am alone and ended with an extremely helpful Auto-Rickshaw driver dropping me to the bus stop. Here's what I did in between and visiting a beach or a casino is not there.
- Coffee over beer – While you get the alcohol cheap here, as low as INR 30, it does not refresh you the way coffee does. So the afternoon I reached, after an extra spicy lunch at a place which I would never have gone to, if I wasn't super hungry and/or if it wasn't the nearest option, I allowed myself to be high on caffeine staying indoors while it poured outside all evening.
- Long rainy drives – I knew it's going to rain again when I was renting out the scooter and it did. I drove amidst the green fields of Goa which were blooming in monsoon, took random turns, got drenched, lost my way and finally came to the rescue of google maps to come back.
- Visited a Portuguese home – This one, along with an adjoining museum was suggested by my host. Though I did not enjoy the museum much, which was more of an artificial ancestral village; I quite liked the home and all the furniture, antiques still placed there, known to have once been used by the Portuguese family.
- Tried local food – I bumped upon a few restaurants while I was aimlessly wandering around the lanes of South Goa – around Salcete, Majorda and Colva to be precise. An interesting name and remarkable wall art made me stop at Fishka and hog on the Goan prawns. I also tried Dal-roti from a roadside dhaba just to see how it tastes different from what we get in North India.
- Read by the beach – When I had no other plans and I did not want to get drenched again, I came and sat on a beach side table at a nearby café. The cool breeze, chilled beer and a good book worked together to leave me with a memorable afternoon.
Goa has much more to offer on solo drives. There's a church on every street that fascinated me enough to stop and see the architecture. There are colorful villas, painted in red, green, blue or yellow that made me cheerful when the roads got lonely.
I did not try to see all and be everywhere because I had just two days. I strongly believe that I'll be back soon. Because when nothing helps, Goa still does.
Did you do something extra-ordinary in Goa? Let me know in comments below.

Notes: just a quick bit of fluff. No, I didn't die. Came close though. The computer that my fic Shinwa was residing in gacked on me. There is precious little of Shinwa left now. I'll rewrite though- but it won't be until after NaNoWriMo…
Warnings: gee, every fic I've written seems to have Ken and Daisuke loving or hormonal about each other. You do the math.
Disclaimer: don't own. Wish I did though. That'd be groovy…Tricking and Treating
"Silly String?"
"Toilet paper?"
"Water balloons?"
"Hell no."
"Roger that- we are go for launch then!" Daisuke bounced around his bedroom laughing as if he didn't have a care in the world. His best friend watched him with mixed emotions in his eyes.
Ken couldn't help but smile though. That energy was always infectious. "So, are we actually getting dressed up for this nonsense?"
The question stopped the Motomiya boy cold. "Nonsense? Nonsense! Dude! It's Halloween, the most sacred holiday of the year. And you better fucking believe we're getting dressed up for this party!" With that having been said, he threw open his closet doors and began pulling out his costume selection.
"Um… Daisuke? Don't you think you're going a bit overboard with this? I mean, it's only Miyako's party and it's not like it's anything special…" Ken's voice drifted away when he noticed just what it was that his friend was planning to wear. "Uh… Dai?"
Completely oblivious, the bearer of Courage and Friendship turned from his closet typhoon. "What? You don't think it'll look good?" Innocent cinnamon eyes blinked at Ken.
Wait a minute… those eyes were a bit too innocent. "It looks like you've got more than one outfit here. And most of the material seems to be leather or vinyl."
Nodding enthusiastically, Daisuke swept over to his bed where the clothing lay. "Well, see, I figured you wouldn't go get a costume for yourself so I took the liberty of picking one out for you. Because as you well know, I won't set foot into Miyako's party if my date isn't in full gear."
Ken choked for a moment. "Who said anything about a date?"
Daisuke just rolled his eyes. "Not a date date. Just us going together like we do every year." Finally taking a moment to think he added, "Unless you were planning to be Miya's other half…"
This was all completely out of the blue for Ken. He had lusted after his best friend for years, only recently noticing that said best friend seemed awfully flirtatious with both guys and girls alike. And then there was Miyako's incessant cajoling on top of that. No one could escape her when she wanted to know something. Every 'Destined had eventually coughed up the details of first-time experiences and preferences- as well as a few forays into the Kama Sutra. All except for one. Somehow the most talkative member of the Digidestined managed to evade all questioning. None of them knew how. And none of them were sure if he even knew what sex actually was… Was he really still that pure? Or was his innocence just an act? Only Daisuke knew for sure- and he wasn't telling.
Finding his voice Ken managed to speak up. "No, no, no… I'll be your date." If only.
Hiding a devilish grin, Daisuke delved into the pile of black. "Good." Pulling out a few items he inspected them with utmost scrutiny. "Now try this on. If it doesn't fit… well, I'd be amazed. But it should get the job done." Throwing a pile into Ken's arms he proceeded to herd the sputtering boy into the bathroom, adding as an afterthought, "And no trying to escape out the window!"
There was a muffled sigh from inside the bathroom. "Fine."
Chuckling, Daisuke returned to his room to get ready. He had been planning this for months- natch! Two goals in mind: a- get Ken in leather, and b- maybe find the balls to tell him how he felt. It was going to be hectic to say the very least. Not to mention all the little heart palpitations. Shivering with anticipation, Dai grabbed his vinyl pants and started tugging them on. They were almost up and fastened when he heard a voice behind him.
"I don't think I want to know just how you got me such a per…fect… fit…" Ken stood in the doorway speechless. In the blooming twilight before him stood a vision. A lustful, damn near pornographic vision, but a vision none the less. He was fighting to not drool all over himself. Daisuke stood shirtless with a delicious pair of black vinyl pants pulled up around his hips, so tight they looked poured on. Ken noticed the pants were, as yet, unfastened and was willing to bet if he snuck a look he would find nothing but Daisuke under all that vinyl.
"Uh, could you give me a minute? You were quicker than I thought you'd be." Blushing, Daisuke was shocked when Ken shook his head.
"It's not like it's anything I haven't seen." Perhaps the attire he had donned was giving him new wings. Feeling bold, sexy even, he stepped forward and reached out a hand. "You need some help with that?"
"No, I've got it. Thanks though." Innocent as ever and smiling brightly, Daisuke managed to get himself arranged and zipped up while Ken stood struggling for sanity. He gave a mental smirk at his friend's puzzlement. Oh yes, Daisuke knew all about innocence and what a hassle it could be. But sometimes it was just so fun to watch Ken get all sexually frustrated and flustered. There had been more than one occasion when Dai had wondered if Ken had gone to bed with steamy thoughts in his mind. "Could you hand me my shirt while you're over there?"
Ken shook his head again, trying to clear it. If he weren't sure that he knew Motomiya so well, he would almost think his friend was pulling a fast one on him. "This?" It turned out to be a sleek, sleeveless, black vinyl top that had a gleaming silver zipper down the center. Upon reflection, Ken realized Daiuske's outfit was strikingly similar to his own. Ken's was a bit more tame- leather not being quite so shiny as vinyl. Still the twin-like costumes made him wonder. "Just how long have you been planning this?"
"Planning?" Cinnamon eyes sparkled with absolute purity.
"Cut the crap, Daisuke. Tell me the truth."
Striking an immediate pose, Dai began tapping a finger against his chin. Playing dumb, he caught all of Ken's longing stares at the low riding pants he was wearing. "Since you were the Kaizer?"
Now that threw him for a loop. "Since… I… what?!"
Shrugging, Dai grabbed his shirt from Ken's suddenly limp hands and explained. "Well, think about it. You were always wearing that little spandex outfit. Which was totally hot, by the way. So, leather would only be the next logical step, right? I mean, if you're going to go bondage, Ken, you really should go all the way." Zipping his shirt all the way up to just beneath his chin, Daisuke gave a dazzling smile.
"Are you… saying?" Ken couldn't believe this. Of all the times for him to find out. All those years of hoping and yearning. Dumb fucking luck! "So you do want this to be a date."
Shrugging again, Daisuke gave a half nod. "Once we get some makeup on you, sure. I mean, come on! What's a vampire without a little gothic touch here and there?" As he bent down to retrieve a small bag he felt two strong hands on his shoulders. After that, it was only Ken. A soft sweet pressure at his mouth made Daisuke sigh. And it wasn't too long before Ken's tongue was in his mouth and Ken's arms were wound around his waist.
When they pulled apart flushed, breathless, and completely aroused Ken gave a grin. "Are you sure we have to go to this party?"
Daisuke nodded. And then, despite Ken's adorable pout and sudden nibbling of his ear, he added, "Being forced to be decorous in public will only make it better. After all, I'm supposed to be your victim, so you can get away with a ravaging or five tonight."
"Indeed," Ken murmured, then chuckled. "Better not get too wound up though. These pants don't hide anything!"
Daisuke simply growled. "That's what makes them so hot."
Needless to say, they arrived forty-five minutes late for the party. And both were more than a little flushed with matching, knowing, grins on their faces.
Well, there you go. Some yummy DaiKensuke Halloween fluff! Mmm… leather and vinyl…

Territory wrestling peaked in the seventies, before the WWE achieved its dominion, and with it created local wrestlers celebrities. No one more than Jerry Lawler, who was "The King" of the Memphis area and beyond, his face was plastered on everything from used car dealers to baked beans tins, very similar to the stardom that The Rock is beginning to develop. But there is a stark difference between the two. Whenever Lawler's face endorsed a product it was capped with his trademark crown, but when The Rock makes appearance on David Letterman he openly and casually speaks about past opponents and feuds never once tossing in a trademark phrase or eyebrow. Jerry Lawler once wrote in his book that in his time wrestlers had to live well out of town so they could merely go to the shops out of character, because if they were caught being John Smith it would spell the demise of their career in that territory. All the while The Rock is encouraging interviewers to refer to him as Dwayne Johnson on national television.
It's not that Vince and his predecessors have actively tried to dilute kayfabe over the years, it's more a case of apathy for profit. ECW were known to do their best to keep with kayfabe on occasion (often injuries didn't have to try to be kayfabe), knowing its effectiveness. One example was when The Sandman was "blinded", and so in order to sell the significance of the injury Sandman never left his house for over a month, knowing that if the passionate Philadelphia fans spotted him with 20/20 vision the angle would have gone over almost unnoticed. One month housebound is an incredible sacrifice for anybody's job, yet it was done for a storyline, and would seldom happen in today's environment.
Kayfabe is a double edged sword, on one hand it gives the product legitimacy and reality which to build storylines upon, while it also inadvertently treats the fans like simpletons, suggesting they are sheep that will believe whatever they're been told. So no matter which avenue the company chooses to travel, they'll be neglecting one area of the product.
Believability is essential for a mainstream wrestling company such as the WWE, if the product becomes too flamboyant and "cartoony" it alienates and demeans the audience and they'll eventually become overwhelmed and tune out. It's an issue that the WWE has teetered on the edge of, sometimes stepping over. With the renewed embracement of 80s style gimmicks, the WWE are introducing wacky characters which are fairly hit and miss, and often offensive to the audience. If an audience knows that if Paul Bearer was buried in concrete that he was going to be fine because it's all not real, then the angle is going to have minimal impact. If this becomes a pattern, then the majority of angles are going to go over unnoticed. There has to be a balance between something shocking an innovative and something so unbelievable that it's impossible to happen in real life.
Some responsibility has to be put on the fans as well. Whenever someone sits down in a cinema, or on a couch to watch television, it's expected that they suspend their disbelief for the period of the show. This means that they acknowledge the filmmaker's poetic license to bend reality to a degree, because people watch movies and television to escape from reality and be absorbed into a foreign and amazing environment other than their own. Some fans feel they can waive this unwritten etiquette because wrestling puts itself forward as a sport, which can be seen anywhere on the internet. Internet to a degree has played a part in kayfabes extinction; people are discussing behind closed doors more and more the ins and outs of the wrestling business, whether they have experience or not. This makes it difficult to "pull the wool over the eyes" of the fans when within minutes it will be exposed online. The issue being that the internet isn't a balanced cross section of the wrestling fan base, most of the fans will follow any heel/face turn and cheer who they should, so doing something on the account of a minority (granted, a vocal one) isn't well thought out, because only a fraction are outspoken.
The fan base can often be hypocrisy personified. In some cases they dismiss wrestling as a zit-ridden adolescent outlet for pent up virginity, sniggering when people state they watch it. While as soon as JBL does the goosestep in character, he loses his job at a mainstream news station. Actors don't feel repercussions whenever they portray a crime, yet constantly we hear wrestlers being dismissed as actors in spandex. They can't win either way.
Should people expect wrestlers to talk trash and have a scrap each time they see each other in public, meaning every single convention that WWE appears at would eventually turn into barroom brawl. Or should we expect wrestlers to speak openly of storyline mechanics on whichever talk show they're invited on, which would only further concrete peoples' opinion that wrestling is fake. Wrestlers aren't only actors, they're sportsmen. It's more demanding to ask someone to not only fight but also make the match entertaining while they're at it, than to simply go out there and try and stay upright. The issue of kayfabe should be blamed not on the company or the fans but contemporary cynical environment in which we now live. It's not necessarily a negative development but an inevitable one and has caused a rift in silent viewership. To achieve some sort of solidarity, everyone must agree on either regarding the wrestlers as actors, giving him or her immunity from any repercussions that their character instigated, while also expecting to see onscreen enemies sharing a latte, separating character from person. Or fans should accept that in order for authenticity, wrestling is essentially real and whenever running into a wrestler out of the ring they should be in no less than full character, and you should not address them by their true name. Each argument has its pros and cons, but overall wrestling is cruising along nicely with its ambiguous approach to kayfabe, only offending a couple of Internet fans, who are going to be disgruntled regardless.

I want to know what is the steps for an earthquake to happen?
- print Print
- list Cite
I believe you are what are the causes and sequence of events leading to earthquakes.
Earthquake refer to shaking of ground under influence of disturbances that take place in sections of large chunks of earths outer crusts. A severe earth quake releases energy that may be of the order of 10,000 time the energy released by the first atom bomb.
Earthquakes are caused by collision between large chunks of earth's called tectonic plates. The total outer crust of the earth is divided in 30 such plates. These plates are supported by molten rocks underneath. The plates are moving constantly but very slowly along the surface of the molten rocks beneath them. During the course of their movement there is a relative movement between these plates which cause them to slide past each other, and in the process some parts of edges of different plates come closer or move away from each other. The portions of edges also slide past each other in close contact.
These relative movement between plates create great stresses in rocks near the edges of the plate, causing large chunks of rocks to bend. When the stress becomes too much the rocks break and readjust in new positions, causing shaking of the earth in that position. This place where the initial disturbance is caused is called epicenter of the earth quake. The shock waves created at the epicenter, called seismic waves, spread out radially and causes earthquake wherever it travels. However as the seismic waves spread out radially they become weaker and the intensity of earthquake reduces with the distance from the epicenter and finally subside completely.
There are many good web sites with reliable information about earthquakes. Here are some suggestions of reliable sources for you to review. Check out the information provided by the University of HI at http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/GG/ASK/earthquakes.html You will find a short explanation about what causes earthquakes in a emergency preparedness brochure published by the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services at http://www.oes.ca.gov/Operational/OESHome.nsf/PDF/EQ%2014%20tips/$file/eq_causes.pdf

Here's a peek at the dinner I made for my Valentine…
Spaghetti with vodka marinara sauce (which I will remake and blog about at some point), steamed broccoli, from-scratch garlic flatbread, and a Piemonte Barbera red wine. Pretty perfect.
Hannah Kaminsky (a.k.a. Bittersweet)'s famous Mocha Devastation Cake. Absolute fattiest and most caloric thing I have ever made in my life. Needless to say, it was a hit.
Mocha Devastation Cake = two layers of dense chocolate cake sandwiching a rich coffee buttercream frosting, enrobed in a thick dark chocolate ganache and ringed with crushed chocolate-covered espresso beans. Life is good.
Happy V-Day, everyone!

Popular Los Angeles reporter Mary Beth McDade was nearly attacked on live TV last night while reporting on the death of David Bowie.
According to Daily Mail, KTLA's McDade was reporting about fans mourning the death of Bowie at his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 10:07 pm when the unthinkable happened.
When the footage of McDade opens, a man in a grey hooded sweatshirt can be seen smiling behind her. The thug then begins to approach McDade without her knowledge as she talks to the anchors in the studio.
"Rick and Cher, you know, he was known for breaking down barriers, and…" McDade says seconds before she begins screaming as the camera pans away. The thug was captured running towards McDade and grabbing her before the camera suddenly cut away.
McDade later said the man made a lewd sexual remark as he brushed up against her. Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Officer Mike Lopez said afterwards that the incident is not considered to be an "attack," and that nobody was injured. Lopez added that police are treating this as a disturbance of the peace and that they are still searching for the suspect, who fled the scene.
"Hi!! Thank you all for your concern!! :) I am alright!," McDade wrote on Instagram afterwards. "And thank u #lapd for taking a report & trying to catch the guy."
We're glad McDade was able to walk away from this incident uninjured!

Priorities for Health
Priorities for Care of Our Health
Eat when you are hungry. Sleep when you are tired.
When nature calls, answer. When it is cold, go inside.
Don't think of anything else while making love.
Irving Oyle
Establishing effective, logical, conscious priorities for our health is essential. We make these priorities at many different levels in all the varied aspects of health on a continual basis throughout life. Many of these priorities are chosen by our conditioned behaviors in day-to-day life without us realizing it. Taking an aspirin when a headache arises, rather than dealing with the issues that create the chronic neck muscle tension that elicits the head pain, is to unconsciously choose a priority of care for one's health---a quick chemical fix instead of counseling for the relationship conflict which is causing the muscular tightness and biofeedback training to reprogram muscle relaxation.
Another example is drinking coffee to wake up in the morning and keep moving and alert throughout the day, rather than working on a multi-tiered effort to improve body-mind function and energy levels by:
getting more rest and eliminate sleep deprivation
using light therapy and nutrient supplements to restore normal biological rhythms
eating better to sustain energy levels evenly throughout the day
aerobic training to improve, even further, the energy pathways in the body.
Men have never fully used the powers they possess to advance the good in life,
because they have waited upon some power external to themselves and to nature
to do the work they are responsible for doing.
John Dewey
What needs to be done instead of this haphazard, health-degrading, unconscious, conditioned, prioritization of health care by default is a deliberate, planned, logical, mindful, daily examination of priorities for gaining wellness and wholeness. It is important to emphasize that health is not merely the absence of symptoms but physical, psychological, economic, intellectual, social, and ecological well-being. Given that definition, our plan for gaining higher and higher levels of health needs to include, in descending order of importance:
self care wholeness enhancement endeavors
approaches that prevent disease or dysfunction
early detection of dysfunction or disease
non-invasive, conservative therapies for either acute illness or chronic conditions
aggressive, invasive, medicinal or surgical treatments
emergency, crisis care.
America's health care is dominated by medicine and surgery. That is where most of the health care dollars go. But should we rethink our health care spending priorities? As seen from the above plan, medicine and surgery give us only the bottom two elements of a well balanced, comprehensive health care network. Everyone needs to more realistically evaluate where time, money, and energy are used to achieve the greatest health for the least cost, and in the safest manner.
Of course, emergency crisis care needs to be ready and available when needed. Aggressive, invasive, medicinal or surgical treatments are important as a last resort when other less invasive, less risky methods are not appropriate. But too often these techniques are depended upon when other more conservative, natural and cost-effective approaches would be better.
First priority health strategies
might include:
Low fat, nutrient dense, high fiber diet void of allergenic foods with high quality nutritional supplementation
Regular exercise which includes a balance of low risk, non impact aerobics, stretching appropriate for an individual's needs, safe strength training, and playful games that enhance coordination
Awareness enhancement practices which could include meditation, mindfulness exercises, and/or biofeedback training
Stress management and stress reduction strategies which could include lifestyle change, relaxation techniques, voluntary simplicity or many other techniques
Optimal sleep
Safety consciousness and accident prevention measures
Taking classes to upgrade one's livelihood opportunities
Home environmental audit and cleaning
Keeping a journal based on Progoff's psychological Journal Workshops
Early detection methods
would include:
Pen and paper lifestyle health risk assessments
Personality inventories such as Myers-Briggs or Eneagram
Computerized diet diaries to identify nutritional imbalances
Chiropractic spinal screenings to find abnormal spinal mechanics making one susceptible to injury or degeneration
Hidden allergy screening such as ELISA-ACT ä
Blood pressure monitoring
Cholesterol screening
Colorectal cancer stool sampling
Examples of
natural, holistic therapies
proven very cost-effective for either acute illness or chronic, degenerative conditions include:
Nutritional blood, urine, hair analysis and corrective supplementation in physical and psychological conditions
Specific exercise prescription for particular functional deficits
Chiropractic manipulative therapy
Biofeedback for physiological harmony
Occupational therapy and retraining
Light therapy
Systematic combinations of the above therapies have been scientifically proven to be cost-effective in the treatment of conditions such as: acne, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, constipation, depression, tendonitis, Raynaud's syndrome, tinnitus, restless leg syndrome, infertility, allergies, gallbladder attacks, ulcers, insomnia, arthritis, asthma, chronic pain, infantile colic, migraines, high blood pressure, attention deficit disorders, hyperactivity, premenstrual syndrome, chronic fatigue, anxiety disorders, fibromyalgia, alcoholism, psoriasis, schizophrenia, anorexia, and phobias.
Often people engage in a therapy that should be a last priority strategy, where research has not proven cost-effectiveness or the benefit to risk ratio is too low. This is the
consumer beware category.
This grouping could be outdated, standard medical practices, snake oil scams, procedures which were developed with good intentions and having an attractive concept but with doubtful benefits, or methods which are experimental with possible benefits but more research is needed. Examples might include:
A large percentage of hospital food
80% of hysterectomies
50% of Cesarean-sections
A large percentage of tonsillectomies
90% of ear tubes for chronic otitis media
A large percentage of drugs for psychological conditions
Ritalin for 95% of hyperactivity
Subliminal message tapes
Crystal Healing
Applied Kinesiology testing for nutritional deficiencies or allergies
Activator Chiropractic technique
Aura Soma
Stance of Light
If we prioritize our health improvement strategies according to the above rationale our health will benefit greatly. Prevention should take precedence over cure. Intelligent self care should be the foundation of our health care efforts. Natural holistic practices should be preferred over more aggressive therapies when these are indicated to be the most cost effective methods.

I tried to change all the setting but nothing happens.
I had a look to the FAQ but they seems not to answer to my problem.
Thanks in advance!

This lightweight, water-based primer creates a smooth, invisible layer that acts as a buffer between the skin and makeup. Specialized for oily, sensitive, and acne-prone skin types, its high water content soothes surface dehydration around active blemishes.
Size: 1.7 oz
very expensive and for a product that is oil free I found it to be very oily.
Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Oil-Free;
I was not impressed with this foundation by Laura Mercier, I found it did not work.
There was no visible improvement to the face and application of makeup.
Over priced product from sephora......
Though it was oil free only benefit,
it clumped up, my makeup did not stay put
My foundation did not glide on any easier.
Since smashbox photo primer, hard to compete, this one was a lot worse!!!
Clumped up, was not smooth on the face, did not apply gently enough, made my foundation WORSE not better
This is the best foundation primer I have ever tried! I have very oily skin so my makeup slides off usually half way through the day. With this primer I can go all day and into the evening without having to reapply all of my makeup. You don't need to use much and it absorbs faster than my moisturizer.
I never used a foundation primer until a Sephora beauty consultant suggested it would make my foundation go on much smoother. This product goes on light and smooth and a little bit goes a long way. I was a bit hesitant at first due to the price ($40) but i'm glad I purchased it.
I first got the foundation primer as part of a starter kit from Laura Mercier. The primer makes my face very smooth and gives my face a light glow. Very easy to apply foundation or tinted moisturizer after applying the primer. The best primer that I have tried so far. The consistency of the product is perfect and makes it easy to apply to the face. Would not hesitate to purchase this product again.
I never got the foundation primer idea. I mean, I realized that it does make a smoother palette for your foundation, but I never felt that any primers can actually make my foundation stay on longer. Until I tried the Laura Mercier primer. I could not believe how my foundation remained in place, and flawless! It even lasted to the next day! (no judging!) It goes on very sheer and the texture isn't greasy at all,so you really don't feel like you are wearing another layer. I wouldn't use any other primer.
I love this primer. I only need a tiny amount, it goes on evenly, and works well to mattify my skin before I apply the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer.
This product carries a heavy price tag but works like a dream!
There are alternatives (I also really like the Nars Oil Free Primer) but this works best!
A few people have asked me about face/foundation primers. Specifically, "what does it do?"
Now last week may answer would have been "no idea". But just because I don't care about something, doesn't mean I won't put in the time to find out. Now I have the answer.
I consulted my go-to at Holt Renfrew, a random at Sephora, and the Clinique woman at The Bay. I also Yahoo'd and Google'd.
Then it gets even better. I went out and got myself the "Top 5". Not my list, I think it was In Style's. I have a stack of magazine clippings full of useful and useless knowledge. In the interest of full disclosure, the Laura Mercier one was gifted. I'm a big Laura Mercier fan and got some perks a month ago.
Foundation primer is basically a pre-step, which to me implies it's not necessary; unlike powder, which is a required step in order to put your best face forward.
The most straightforward definition of a primer is that is a specific-duty moisturizer. That specific duty being to fill in pores and lines to create the smoothest surface for your foundation or powder to rest.
Yes, it's that simple.
Is it good for you? The experts side-stepped the question by saying it's best to use a primer that is free of perservatives and chemicals, oil-free and preferably mineral based.
My advice, if you use foundation already, then you should absolutely use a primer. It will create a healthy barrier between your skin and your makeup and increase its longevity. See below.
If you do not use foundation, then don't. Just don't.
Hence I will file this post under "Skip it".
But I'm no expert - at least not one that works in beauty. I prefer to have beauty work for me.
For those that want a primer, let me break down my top 3:
1. Laura Mercier's Oil-Free Foundation Primer
It's lightweight and water-based. I found it glided on my skin and didn't feel heavy.
I'll review the other two too.
I don't really know how to rate this product. I bought it a while back when everyone was hyping about it. The texture is gel like, very light, easy to spread and has a slight flowery/herbal-ish smell to it. It spreads across the face and absorbs really quickly. I've tried this both with mineral/powder foundation and liquid. I didn't find much difference using this primer. I think it's suppose to be filled with antioxidants, vitamins etc. I do however, find that it moisturizes my skin a little. I sort of gave up on this since i'd prefer a silicone base to really create a smooth canvas and sort of create a barrier between my skin and make up. My mom has skin that's a bit on the dryer side so i gave it to her. She enjoyed it since it gives her skin a bit of moisture before her make up application. I think if you use this for a long time, it may give your skin benefits, but as a primer, i don't see the difference it makes. I love love almost all of Laura Mericer products, but this one is not a must.
