Its feels very finely milled and has a soft and silky texture. It feels lightweight and though it gives a matte look it does not look over made up. It completely cuts out any shine and holds strong throughout the majority of the day.
It comes in one shade, which has a white cast on initial contact but once worked into the skin is transparent.
For me this is my current go to powder as it does not upset my skin and does what its supposed to.
I bought this from zuneta.com

Last appearance (to date)...
Fraggle Rock Season 5, Episode 12: "The Honk of Honks"
In "The Bells of Fraggle Rock" Cantus appears to celebrate the Festival of the Bells with the Fraggles. Gobo foolishly decides to journey to the center of the Rock to find The Great Bell. Despite Cantus' warnings, Gobo pushes on, almost risking all of his friends in the process.
In his final appearance, Cantus gives Gobo the responsibility of blowing the Honk of Honks. Gobo can't seem to construct a horn that is "honk" enough to be the Honk of Honks--after every failed attempt Cantus would chastise the young Fraggle and criticize his poor listening skills.
Cantus hasn't been seen since "The Honk of Honks" and with Jim Henson such a part of who Cantus is, it's unknown if he'll return for Fraggle Rock: The Movie.
"Let Me Be Your Song" - Season 1, "The Minstrels"
"Our Melody" - Season 1, "The Minstrels"
"Music Makes Us Real (Ping!)" - Season 2, "Mokey and the Minstrels"
"Lose Your Heart (And it's Found)" - Season 2, "Mokey and the Minstrels"
"Ball of Fire" - Season 4, "Junior Faces the Music"
Cantus brings music to the Rock. No more really needs to be said. Music is such a huge part of Fraggle Rock that a character who fully embodies the spirit of music is extremely important to the show and its message.
Cantus also embodies the spirit of Jim Henson. A man whose life was a song, whose message of singing and dancing and making people happy is one Cantus could easily live by as well.
Although Cantus only appeared in five episodes throughout the entire run of the series, Fraggle Rock needs Cantus is a very profound way. Just his spirit is the spirit of Jim Henson--and any sort of Fraggle Rock production needs that. I don't know if I would support recasting Cantus for the Fraggle Rock movie since he was so much a part of Jim, but I would support having him there in spirit.
So I leave you with the words of Cantus the Minstrel...

If there's one weekend that calls for a break, a timeout, an email-free day (or two - or, dare I suggest, three), this is it. Do you really want to be the person who can't stop laboring on Labor Day? Sorry, that's not a badge of honor. I'm not just talking about work-work, either. Managing your digital life - photographing and obsessing over status updates that convey your clever, care-free online persona - has become practically a full-time job.
If there's one weekend that calls for a break, a timeout, an email-free day (or two � or, dare I suggest, three), this is it. Do you really want to be the person who can't stop laboring on Labor Day? Sorry, that's not a badge of honor. I'm not just talking about work-work, either. Managing your digital life � photographing and obsessing over status updates that convey your clever, care-free online persona � has become practically a full-time job.
I work at Fast Company, a magazine that focuses on hyper-achieving, hyper-connected, hyper-stressed innovators. Recently, we released a book about unplugging, about our need to gain control over the increasing demands � digital and otherwise � on our attention. It's called "Unplug," and we had the audacity to publish it as an e-book, which the Irony Police were quick to notice. But where else would we find our target audience?
Here's some of the advice we've gleaned, tips that apply to this weekend and beyond.
Get the word out
Last year, our columnist Baratunde Thurston went offline for 25 days. Before vanishing, he warned everyone in his social network. If you suddenly stop answering texts, video chat requests and work emails, people, you know, notice. Best to prepare them.
Thurston sent out what he called a "smoke signal." He changed his profile pictures in social media to an all-black rectangle with the dates for when he'd be offline. For everybody else, set up an automated vacation message saying you won't be returning emails � and mean it.
Turn off the noise
People aren't the only ones tugging at your sleeve these days. If you have a smartphone or tablet, you have apps. And if you have apps, they want to talk to you, too. To let you know when you have new Instagram followers, when a friend has commented on a Facebook post, and when there's important breaking news � an Atlanta Braves comeback win, in my case. This next step isn't fun but it's necessary: go into your device settings and disable alerts from your apps.
Move your life offline
It's incredible how dependent we've become on the everythingness of the Web in such a relatively short time. It's as though we've been eating out of straws and have forgotten how to chew. Not having Google Maps or Twitter at your fingertips will be a shock. You need to be as resourceful as our pre-Internet selves were back in the early 1990s. If you're exploring new parts of the city, or a new city altogether, take a map. (You may need to Google where to buy one first.) Feel the need to tweet? Pick up a pen and a blank notebook. You can write as many characters as you like.
Have a lifeline
Jumping into the Great Unplug, even just for a holiday weekend, can feel like jumping out of a plane. It's scary. And what does the parachute company ask for when you sign the waiver absolving them of a nasty landing? An emergency contact. Here, too, you need someone to be able to reach you � just in case. But once you unplug, you'll soon realize how few true emergencies there are.
Stay strong
Now, the hard part: staying off the grid. There's a reason these sorts of breaks are called digital detox. You will miss the gentle vibration in your pocket of a new text. Don't give in.
Part of what you're feeling is the faux urgency of our Webified world. An email or tweet only sounds as if it requires an immediate reply. It's not your spouse asking you to refill her wine glass. That requires an immediate reply. If you go offline for a while, you find that the world is a far more patient place than you think.
Confront your habits
To avoid temptation, you need to examine how integrated your work, digital and personal lives have become. When did you start falling asleep with your smartphone on your chest? Thinking in tweets? Seeing the world through Instagram-filtered glasses? Put your phone in a drawer overnight. Instead of checking email or Twitter first thing in the morning, try stretching, walking or running. Exercise is one way to counteract the little rush you're missing from each retweet and like. Those are no match for adrenaline surging through a body in motion.
Sit still
Make sure you're not simply replacing the constant busyness of being online with the constant busyness of remaining offline. You don't want to deny yourself the simple pleasure of being in the moment. Leave the house without your devices. Part of what you're doing is proving to yourself that you can. And that you don't need to broadcast your every encounter. Or peruse every restaurant and concert option available. Or have the world's information a click away. All that is great, yes, but you appreciate it more if you give it up every now and then.
Plug back in - thoughtfully
On Tuesday, when life rushes back to normal, take what you learned during the long unplugged weekend with you. Try adding some "airplane mode" moments to your day. See if it makes you more productive and more creative at work; breaks have a way of doing that. And see if it makes you feel less like you're simply managing chaos.
A three-day weekend isn't enough for a total transformation, but that's not the point. Lasting change starts small, with new habits you build on. After his break, Thurston, who had at one point had averaged 1,500 tweets a month, began unplugging for several hours during the week. He instituted a no-appointments week four times a year. He gave up text-walking, reminding himself to look around at his surroundings � and avoid tripping or getting hit by a car. "The greatest gift I gave myself," Thurston said of his break, "was a restored appreciation for disengagement, silence, and emptiness."
That, he hopes, is one way to plug into a more balanced, fulfilling life.
Salter is a senior writer at Fast Company and editor of the new book "Unplug: How to Work Hard and Still Have a Life," from which this article was adapted.

JACKSONVILLE, Florida (Reuters) - A Florida jury convicted a white, middle-aged man on Saturday of three counts of attempted murder for opening fire on a car of black teenagers during an argument over loud rap music, but could not reach a verdict on a murder charge for the killing of a 17-year-old in the car.
Michael Dunn, a 47-year-old software engineer, fired 10 rounds at a vehicle carrying four teens in a Jacksonville gas station parking lot in November 2012, killing black teen Jordan Davis.
The jury deadlocked on the most serious charge of first-degree murder against Dunn, forcing Judge Russell Healey to declare a mistrial on that count.
The failure to reach a verdict on the first-degree murder charge is a blow for the prosecution and the Davis family. But Dunn still faces at least 60 years in jail for the attempted murder convictions against the three other teens, legal analysts said.
Prosecutors told a press conference after the verdicts were read that they plan to retry Dunn, who has been in jail since his arrest in 2012, on the first-degree murder charge.
The jury also found Dunn guilty on a fifth count of firing into an occupied vehicle.
The trial has drawn international attention because of racial overtones and Dunn's claims of self-defense.
The case has drawn comparisons to the self-defense trial of George Zimmerman, the former central Florida neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted last year of murder in the shooting of an unarmed, black 17-year-old, Trayvon Martin.
Attorney Cory Strolla said Dunn and his family are devastated by the four guilty verdicts. "He never saw it coming, not one bit," Strolla said.
Dunn, who had no prior convictions, testified earlier this week that he began shooting in a state of panic after he thought he saw the barrel of a gun in the back window as Davis started to get out of the car.
Prosecutors said Davis, who had no arrest record, had used foul language when confronting Dunn after the argument broke out, but was unarmed and never posed a physical threat.
"The self-defense argument made some headway. The jury, or some of them, believed he saw a muzzle of a gun," said David Weinstein, a former state prosecutor, now in private practice in Miami.
Mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines in Florida for crimes committed with a gun mean that Dunn faces 20 years for each of the three counts of his conviction.
"It has been a long, long road and we're so very happy to have just a little bit of closure," Davis' teary mother, Lucy McBath, told reporters. "It's sad for Mr. Dunn that he will live the rest of his life in that sense of torment. I will pray for him," she said.
"But we are so grateful for the charges that have been brought against him, we are so grateful for the truth, we are so grateful that the jurors were able to understand the common sense of it all," she added.
"(Teenagers) shouldn't have to worry about walking around, worrying about if someone has a problem with them," said Davis' father, Ron Davis.
"We don't accept a law that would allow our children to be regarded as collateral damage."
Earlier on Saturday, the judge said questions posed by the 12-member jury indicated they thought Dunn was initially justified in firing the first seven bullets to defend himself from Davis, but then went too far by continuing to pull the trigger as the fleeing teens drove off.
The judge speculated that jurors felt Dunn overstepped the limits of self-defense law by shooting a final volley of three bullets after he got out of his car, when the teens no longer represented any kind of threat.
"They may say justifiable use of deadly force was in play to (a) certain point and then it went away. There was no justification for those last set of shots," the judge said.
Critics of U.S. gun laws were quick to react on Saturday.
"The jury did their very best but they were hamstrung by Florida's Stand Your Ground law," said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a non-profit group created in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting in December 2012. "The law basically legalizes armed vigilantes," Watts said.
Florida's Stand Your Ground law allows persons who believe they are in imminent danger of serious bodily injury to use deadly force to defend themselves, even if, despite their subjective belief, no real threat exists.
"A person in that position doesn't have to see something (an actual weapon), but there has to be reasonable fear. That's the way Florida law reads," said State Attorney Angela Corey after the verdict.
Since Florida passed its law in 2005, more than half the states have passed similar laws with the backing of the gun lobby.
"The mistrial further sends a chilling effect to parents in the 23 states that have the Stand Your Ground law or laws similar," said civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton, president of the National Action Network. "It requires the Civil Rights community to head into Florida, which is now ground zero for a national fight to change that law," he added.
The sequestered jury of eight whites, two blacks, one Asian and one Hispanic, began deliberating on Wednesday afternoon after a week of testimony and spent more than 30 hours trying to reach a verdict.

Keeping the Faith
Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa
Deputy command chaplain for U.S. Africa Command engages with key leaders and local practitioners of the Islamic faith during a week-long temporary duty assignment to Djibouti, Africa to take part in USAFRICOM's Cutlass Express 2017 exercise.
The U.S. Marine Corps is arguably one of the most revered institutions within the U.S. Department of Defense. So, when Combined Task Force – Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA) leadership recently welcomed members of the Djibouti Armed Forces (FAD) into the U.S. Marine Corps Corporals Course, it was a distinct honor.
Within hours of being notified, CJTF-HOA's East Africa Response Force prepared dozens of Soldiers and tons of supplies for takeoff during an emergency response exercise, validating the EARF's rapid response capabilities.
U.S. military and Department of State representatives assembled at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, for the annual East Africa Security Synchronization Conference to synchronize and prioritize activities in East Africa.
Initiated by the Japanese military, Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA) supported a joint-nation noncombatant evacuation operation (NEO) exercise and training here, Sept. 29.

Pushing The Boundaries In Country
Artists such as Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, and Tammy Wynette, among others, are synonymous with the history of country music. While the foundation of the genre may have been built on the more traditional sounds, the influence that other genres are having on contemporary country artists is evident today more than ever.
GRAMMY-nominated artist Jason Aldean brought Ludacris into the country world, teaming with the rapper on a remix of his 2011 GRAMMY-nominated hit "Dirt Road Anthem." That same year the pair performed the song live on "The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!! — Countdown To Music's Biggest Night." Though an arguably unlikely pairing from a traditional perspective, the two Georgia-based artists found the crossover more natural than most may have expected.
"Even though our music is totally different, our roots are the same," Aldean said in an interview with People magazine in 2011. "It wasn't that much of a stretch." The crossover was so successful that the two released the remixed version on iTunes later that year.
Since winning season four of "American Idol" in 2005, Carrie Underwood has shot to the top of the country and pop music charts. While her music often incorporates traditional country elements, Underwood also tows the line between country and pop, as evidenced on her dance-ready GRAMMY-nominated song "Blown Away." Underwood is always quick to assert her country roots, but her cross-genre influences have helped bring new fans to the country scene.
Current GRAMMY nominee Taylor Swift is arguably the biggest artist to find massive crossover success. Though she may call country music her home, Swift's music crossed boundaries long ago with songs such as "You Belong With Me" and she continues to evolve musically as evidenced by her latest studio album, Red.
These country artists and others will likely continue to spread their creative wings beyond the genre's traditional sounds, but not at the expense of sacrificing fans or the authenticity of country music. Adding influences from different genres may stretch Nashville's boundaries, but crossing those borders can enhance the listening experience for music lovers from the country world and beyond.

Thank you for the conversation. It was one that needed to be had.
You didn't ask about my daughter. She's coming back to Brisbane. 😊 This makes me very happy.
Besides yoga gym work, repeat, and doing everything possible to take care of this vessel my soul walks around in. It's all about the zen.
Like I said, I am not the same person I was 12 months ago. I look at photos of her and think I'm not her anymore.
I am truly sorry that you are in a dark place. I hope you can find your way out. And be that person I know you are able to be.
The one that takes care of his body, and soul.
The one that owns his behaviour,
The one that doesn't lie and tell half truths.
The one that does the work on becoming the best version of themselves.
The one that gets the help he needs.
I was surprised to hear you say that you had seen the boys. And when I did, I truly hoped that some miracle had happened, that you were getting help, taking care of yourself and dealing with your demons. Clean and sober. I prayed to the universe that you were telling me the truth.
I was really disappointed to find out you lied. Again. And my heart broke a little. All over again.
There has not been one day in the last 12 months that I have not thought of you. And felt sad. And heart broken. And so confused.
You know what you need to do. But don't do it. And only you can make the changes. Do the work. Set your soul free.
The truth really will set you free. But first it will piss you off.
Deal with those emotions. Ask why the truth is pissing you off. And get the help you need.
you are with someone, yet feel alone...She's not able to give you what you need to heal. Only you can do that.
I really do wish you peace. Dancing with demons is exhausting. Casting those demons off is soul freeing.
I've walked through fire. And I am a motherfucking Phoenix rising.

(Pocket-lint) - Apple has posted one of the court-ordered adverts that state Samsung did not infringe on its iPad designs, in The Guardian newspaper today, but plays all the tricks in the book in order to divert reader attention.
The almost solid block of justified text has little visual appeal, and the words themselves are simply written in a matter of fact manner. There is no apology, just a reference to the original High Court judgement: "Samsung Electronics (UK) Limited's Galaxy Tab Computers, namely the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab 8.9 and Tab 7.7 do not infringe Apple's Community registered design No. 0000181607-0001," it says.
It also acknowledges that the court of appeal upheld the original judgement, but doesn't elaborate.
This comes after Apple was slapped on the wrists because its original ordered posting about the case was "non-compliant" with Judge Birss's command that it publish notices on its own website that Samsung did not infringe on Apple's designs. The company has been ordered to amend its words and post the new statement in 11-point type on its UK home page rather than tucked away behind a small link.
It seems that, like with the Guardian advert today, this will not refer to the other court judgements around the world where Apple has won its cases, just present the judgement itself.
Apple was given 48 hours to do this (from yesterday) and has yet to publish the new version. The original link has seemingly been removed.

TV ratings numbers are in for Wednesday night's programming. Here's a brief look at the highlights:
- The second season premiere of FX's horror anthology series American Horror Story: Asylum got off to an incredibly strong start, with a hefty 2.2 rating in the demo and 3.85 million total viewers, making it the most watched and highest rated episode of the series thus far.
- After a solid yet slightly soft debut, ABC's much buzzed-about new drama series Nashville saw a pretty steep drop in viewers for episode 2. The ep drew a 2.0 rating and 6.8 million viewers, down a hefty 28% from last week's 2.8 rating.
- NBC's new drama Chicago Fire was also down, though the drop was a bit more dramatic given the show's low premiere numbers. The second episode drew a 1.5 rating an 5.9 million viewers, down 21% from the premiere's 1.9 rating.
- The CW's new superhero series Arrow saw a solid hold from last week's stellar premiere numbers, as this week's episode hit a 1.3 rating and 3.5 million viewers. That's even with last week's premiere.
Hit the jump for the full ratings report for Wednesday, October 17th, including Modern Family, Supernatural, CSI, The Middle, Suburgatory, and more.
- This week's episode of new comedy series Animal Practice was down 9%, earning a 1.0 rating and 3.8 million viewers against last week's 1.1 rating.
- NBC's other new Wednesday comedy Guys with Kids was even with last week's numbers, garnering a 1.4 rating in the 18-49 demo and 4.3 million viewers.
- Law and Order: SVU was down 9% from last week, earning a 1.6 rating and 6.3 million viewers. Last week's episode netted a 1.8 demo rating.
- New drama series Chicago Fire saw a hefty drop from its disappointing premiere numbers, garnering a 1.5 rating in the demo and 5.9 million viewers. That's down 21% from the series premiere's 1.9 rating.
- The Middle hit a 2.5 rating and 8.4 million viewers, up slightly from last week's 2.4 rating.
- New comedy series The Neighbors earning a 1.9 rating and 6.5 million viewers, confirming that somebody in America is actually watching the alien sitcom. That's down 5% from last week's 2.0 rating.
- Modern Family was the highest rated and most-watched program of the night, earning a 4.6 rating and 12 million viewers. Even so, that's down 4% from last week's 4.8 rating.
- Whip-smart comedy series Suburgatory had its season premiere a little late this year, but the episode earned a 2.8 rating in the demo and 7.6 million viewers. That's down 15% from the series premiere last year, but up a whopping 55% from its season finale rating of 1.8.
- The solid second episode of Nashville saw a surprising drop in viewership, with a 2.0 rating and 6.8 million viewers. That's down a significant 28% from the series premiere's 2.8 rating and not at all what I expected to happen.
- Criminal Minds was up slightly, earning a 3.1 rating and 11.8 million viewers. That's up from last week's 3.0 rating.

"It could have been [bad] if we didn't get here in time," Savoy Fire Chief Lawrence Ordyna said. "It appeared that it had gotten into the walls and once that determination is make, we call a first-alarm fire."
The chimney fire was quickly snuffed out with fire Departments from Adams, Cheshire, Florida, Windsor, Hinsdale and Plainfield all responded to Main Road home at about noon. The home suffered minimal damage and there were no injuries, Ordyna said.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A North Adams woman was arraigned Friday morning in Berkshire Superior Court on a drug charge.
Eden J. Lemaire, 20, of Walnut Street had not-guilty pleas entered on her behalf on single counts of trafficking in Oxycontin and conspiracy to violate drug laws.
She appeared before Judge John A. Agostini, who released her on personal recognizance.
The charges stem from the execution of a search warrant at the Willows Motel in Williamstown on April 2, 2010. The investigation was conducted by members of the Adams, North Adams and Williamstown police departments and state troopers assigned to the district attorney's office, members of the Berkshire County
The Massachusetts State Police Air Wing last night located a hunter who had gone missing in a forest in Savoy.
A state police helicopter crew found the hunter, a 62-year-old Savoy man, at 10:50 p.m. in a wooded area by using the aircraft's forward-looking infrared camera. The hunter was located about one-third of a mile from the point where he had entered the woods almost nine hours earlier.
The helicopter crew directed state police ground units to the hunter's location. Troopers on the ground and local firefighters determined that he had suffered potentially serious injuries but was conscious and appeared to be in stable condition. The helicopter crew illuminated the scene using a

Symbols have been used on tombstones for centuries. But it was not until the mid-1800's that this secret code caught on with the 'common folk' who could finally afford to decorate their graves with statues and carvings.
|Painting by James Tissot
The Victorians were known for their love of ornate designs, and this carried on to their gravestones. Stone carvers of the period created works of art. Rural cemeteries became the poor person's art gallery, offering carvings, statues, and buildings of spectacular craftsmanship.
The Victorians were enamored with flowers, which were known to have their own language. Give a woman a red rose and that signified love, a yellow rose indicated friendship, and a white rose meant innocence or secrecy. It is no wonder they carried this silent language on to the grave.
Roses on a tombstone can have several meanings, depending on the number shown and if the rose is in bud or bloom. A rose symbolizes love, hope and beauty.
Two roses joined together signified a strong bond, as on this couple's stone.
Age could also be noted with a rose bud indicating the grave of a child. A partial bloom was used to show someone who had died in his or her teen or early adult life. And a full bloom signified someone in the prime of life.
Another flower that is abundant in the cemetery is the lily, which stands for innocence and purity. There are several various types of lilies used on gravestones, each with a slightly different meaning.
The most popular is the Easter Lily, which represents resurrection and the innocence of the soul being restored at death.
And the Daffodil, also part of the lily family, indicated grace, beauty and a deep regard. You'll notice that live daffodils are abundant in older cemeteries during the spring.
Other flowers used on gravestones include the daisy, which means gentleness and innocence. And the morning glory, which suggesting mourning, mortality and farewell.
Greenery is also used to convey unspoken thoughts. Many stones are covered in Ivy to imply faithfulness, undying affection and eternal life.
And the palm, another plant associated with Easter, signified triumph over death, and a forthcoming resurrection.
Wander any cemetery and you will discover a secret language communicated through symbols. All it takes is the interest to learn what each generation wished to imply with their symbols, and the time to let them speak to you, offering interesting insights into someone's life and time.
It's the weekend; take some time to listen to this silent language.

There are 4 cmdlets for working with the history in a PowerShell session:
Add-History – adds an entry to the history
Clear-History – clears the history
Get-History -enables you see the current history
Invoke-History – enables you to run a line in your history
Get-History is the one I use the most. You can use the UP arrow key to cycle back to an old command or use Invoke-History.
I'd only use Clear-History if I had a long running session and I was changing what I was working on.
Add-History is the odd one. I've never used it but it could be useful if you have a command you run often and you want to push it into the history when you start a session.
Be aware of a variable that controls history:
$MaximumHistoryCount defaults to 4096 and is the maximum number of commands saved in the command history.
You can increase this up to 32768 if you desire but unless you put the command in your profile your next session will drop back to the default.

A Look At The Changing Red Sox Uniforms and Logos
It's not known if any of these designs are in any way being adopted by the Red Sox.
Changing the look and style of uniforms is not new. The Red Sox uniforms have changed many times since the team was formed in 1901. And while some would say the most recent alterations are purely to increase merchandise sales, you can't say that about the many changes in the 1920s and 1930s.
All of the uniform pictures below are from the Hall of Fame's online exhibit Dressed to the Nines. Marc Okkonen designed all of the 1901-1994 graphics. Cap pictures are taken from MLB's Red Sox shop.
From the exhibit: In 1882, the Detroit Wolverines (National League) had different-colored and patterned uniforms depending on the player's position: "scarlet-and-white-striped shirts and caps were worn by first basemen, while shortstops wore solid maroon". ... In 1916, the Brooklyn Robins (Dodgers) wore blue-checked uniforms, while the New York Giants wore purple plaid. ... For the 1927 season, the St. Louis Cardinals had "World Champions" on their shirt fronts. No team has done it since.
(Note: These are general changes to the Red Sox uniform. Various other permutations -- throwback uniforms, occasionaly use of white and green caps, the current tomato-red jerseys -- are not included. I trust that most of the information from the exhibit is correct.)
1901 - First year of the American League; no red in sight; the road cap was changed to all blue in 1902, then all white in 1903 -- and that's how it stayed until 1921.
1908 - The only year the team had the big sock on the front of the uniform; the laced up collar was gone after 1909 (both Boston teams were the last clubs to wear them). BA = Boston Americans.
1912 - First year in Fenway Park; two sets of home and road uniforms.
1918 - Home uniform: white cap, white shirt, white pants, no letters or numbers anywhere (however, there may have been very thin blue pinstripes)
1921 - Caps will have the red bills for the next 12 years. There are pinstripes (for sure) on both home and road uniforms. Pinstripes are dropped from the home unis in 1924, but brought back in 1927. They disappear from all uniforms in 1932.
1931 - Little sock logo on a red-pinstriped cap - a one-year experiment.
1933 - The blue cap with B (though not the Old English B of modern times) makes its first appearance. There were various changes to the stockings during the mid-30s.
Red Sox cap: 1936-1945.
1946 - Two sets of uniforms for the next three seasons. The B on the cap is also changed (outlined in white).
Red Sox cap: 1946-51.
1972 - No changes to the uniform until the introduction of the red collar and red Boston lettering on the road uniforms.
1974 - Players wear red/blue caps for part of the season (post-All-Star Game at home?).
SoSHer staz found this 1974 picture of Luis Tiant:
1975 - Players will wear red caps with blue B for four years, before switching back to the red B on blue cap in 1979.
1979 - Grey road uniforms with blue Boston lettering.
1990 - It's back to the red lettering on the road jerseys.
1995 - A change to the uniform models. They must have been working out!
2004 - Uniform models stop doing 'roids. No striped socks shown after this year (Manny's pajama pants influence)?
You can see the various Red Sox team logos here and here.
This page -- showing how each team's hat logo has changed -- is pretty cool. (I love the Cubs' 1914 bear.) When did the Red Sox Old English B first appear? This site has nothing for Boston from 1952-1974, then it's there in 1975.
Finally, if this is the new design

I was scrolling through and suddenly wondered what the hell they'd put in the crotch of that uniform (specifically the 1918 home uniform) when I realized it was my cursor.
Snazzy - all white uniform save for a glove codpiece with one finger sticking up.

There was one change in 1969--the BOSTON on the road got a red background, which is barely visible on those pics from Dressed to the Nines. That stayed until '72 when they got the pullovers and the BOSTON turned red and fancy.
Also, another shot of some Sox in the blue caps with red front panels can be found on the cover of the '75 yearbook. In the posed shots.

Happy Wednesday ya'll. Just a quick post of free printables today. A few months back I designed an invite for a baby shower at work. The theme was pink and yellow and owls and girly. So cheery. Since Katie from Sew Woodsy and I work together, she posted about it here. Go look. So cute right?
For months now this invite has just been collecting digital dust on my computer. Not doing much good there so I thought I'd share. I also changed up the colors and made a blue version as well. The invite is 5" x 7".
The PDF contains a version without crop marks and a version with crop marks. Use whichever suits you best. Enjoy your hump day.

I'm quite surprised this capability is not included in the base openSUSE 12.2 install since we have OSS version of the Adobe PDF reader (Okular).
Scenario/Use Case:
You need to print out a document directly into a PDF format file, instead of killing trees. Some examples are:
- Printing online receipts directly into a PDF for your electronic filing
- Converting some page or document into PDF format using the Print function
To verify you do not have the ability to print to PDF, open up Firefox and point it to http://localhost:631. At the CUPS page, login with your root ID and password and click on Printers tab at the top of the page. It should be empty (if this is after a clean install) or it should have a list of previously configured printers (either USB-direct or Network).
1) Open up another tab in your web browser and point it to http://software.opensuse.org/search
2) In the search field, enter "cups-pdf" and wait (1-2 secs) and the results should show up.
3) (Optional) You may want to Click on the settings/spanner icon next to the Search button to verify you are searching against the openSUSE 12.2 distribution. Noticed from the drop-down list that openSUSE embraces other Linux distributions as well. Advert here for the openSUSE Build Service (or OBS).
4) Expand (click) the openSUSE 12.2 link under the cups-pdf package followed by clicking on the "Show unstable packages" to reveal a 1-click install of cups-pdf for openSUSE 12.2. You can safely ignore the unstable packages warning... come on, live a little eh?
5) Click on the 1-Click Install link and follow through to install the cups-pdf package.
6) Verify that you have ability to print to PDF by going back to the CUPS page (the other tab in Firefox pointed to http://localhost:631)
7) One final customization, the default output directory for the PDF document you print is in /var/spool/cups-pdf/${USER}, where {$USER} is your username. For me, I edited the config file at /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf and under the "Path Settings" section, changed it to /home/han/Documents/Print-PDF/ so I can easily find the document from my Dolphin file browser.
Hope this entry helped save you the time & effort to get this functionality on 12.2.

Having recently moved back to New York after a 10-year hiatus, I feel a little like a tourist when it comes to the city's restaurant scene. It would be an understatement to say everything has changed, in restaurant terms, during that time. Besides the fact that I was just starting out back then and couldn't afford the luxuries that I am now able to, New York's gastronomic landscape changes every few months. Younger chefs are breaking rank to create something they can call their own, and the old guards' empires continue to expand or morph with equal ferocity. The sheer number of dining establishments and new openings is astonishing and it makes it difficult for the uninitiated to know where to begin.
A good place to start is the historic site of 50, Commerce Street in Greenwich Village.
Originally a speakeasy during the Depression era, it is now home to an excellent restaurant that serves contemporary American fare with flare. Chef Harold Moore's cuisine is at once generous, technically adept and eminently satisfying. With years of experience in the kitchens of French luminaries Daniel Boulud and Jean-Georges Vongericthen, there is no doubt of his abilities. But what is comforting is that a meal at Commerce is not a stuffy affair. Au contraire, it is a convivial and sometimes communal experience in which you will be well looked after and sumptuously fed.
If there is one thing I have taken away from my few visits, it is Chef Moore's desire for each of his diners to be respected and taken care of, something that has been lost at too many perfectly good restaurants that unnerve you with table time limits and other conditions.
One recent evening began with an assortment of starters that ran the gamut between hamachi ceviche and devilled eggs. The fried oysters with rémoulade were sufficient evidence that the raw state of this mollusc can be improved, or at least equaled, by pristinely preserving its refreshing, saline qualities within a light, crisp, battered casing. A deceivingly simple salad appeared and provided the perfect zing to arm us with what to come – I didn't learn until later that it contained no less than 20 herbs and lettuces.
What you must order when you go to Commerce are the plates designed for sharing. The signature dish is a whole roasted chicken, which is stuffed with, and sits proudly atop, some of the richest accompaniments you can dream up (foie gras is only the beginning…). The bird was our final savory course, and lived up to the hype (you can watch the chef prepare it in one of my dining companion's video).
The sharing dish that I enjoyed the most was actually the rack of lamb that, in a seemingly counter-intuitive but appropriate progression, preceded the chicken. If there were a perfect pink, a precise level of juiciness and just the right amount of flavour for a roast lamb, this was it. I don't think I've ever tasted better, and I've eaten a lot of things that go 'Baah' in the night.
Desserts are straight-up classic Americana, perfected. The chocolate pudding (the American kind) is deliciously rich and wholeheartedly recommended. However, it was the most unlikely of desserts that stole my heart: the coconut cake.
I know, it sounds like something you might see at The Cheesecake Factory, but Chef Moore calls it 'The Best Coconut Cake', and he is not wrong about that fact. Its multiple layers of moist sponge and cream flirt dangerously close with being too sweet, but manage to toe the line. It will cost $10, but other than the lamb, it was my favourite thing of the night.
Our table went through a few bottles of a particularly delicious and reasonably priced Oregon Pinot Noir, which suited the wide selection of dishes to a tee. The wine list is fairly compact and French-heavy but is well chosen and even includes some French Crémant (sparkling wines from outside of Champagne), something I would like to see more of in other US restaurants.
You can either start your evening at the bar or end up there; some people come in for just a drink… but usually stay for more. It has that kind of energy. It always seems to be alive. In fact, a different evening at Commerce began with a pungent glass of Fernet Branca, but that is another story….

A shootout win over Norfolk on Sunday got the team to 19-19-1 for the season, or, in other words, back to .500. The last time they could say that was all the way back on Nov. 7, when a loss to Chicago, the second in a franchise-record, seven-game losing streak, dropped them to 5-5-1.
The fact that they've accomplished that feat – they were six games under .500 as recently as Dec. 7 – wasn't lost on players and coaches.
"Once we had that stretch in November, we kind of sat back as a team and decided we needed to be back at .500 by the halfway mark of the season," said center Brody Sutter.
As it just so happens, they crossed the halfway point in the middle of their three-in-three set this past weekend. They are now just three points out of a playoff spot with 39 games down and 37 to go.
"We accomplished that and now it's go time," said Sutter. "We've got to make sure we're above .500 by quite a bit for the rest of the way to make the playoffs."
"It's the first little step, but .500 isn't going to get us into the playoffs," said coach Jeff Daniels. "Now we've got to be putting wins in that column."
The Checkers, winners of five of their last six games, conclude a five-game home stand with games against the Oklahoma City Barons this Thursday and Friday. They are 4-0-0 against their West Division rivals this season, with all four previous games taking place in Oklahoma City. If that historical success is any indication, they'll have a decent chance of building even more momentum before heading out on a five-game road swing.
"In the last couple of months we've had a couple of games where we weren't too thrilled, but I think we're right where we need to be in terms of improving as a team," said forward Aaron Palushaj, who has four goals in his last three games. "We have plenty of time to make up the ground we need to get into the playoffs and even make a deep run if we keep improving."
More news and notes as the Checkers head into those match-ups:
Competition on DefenseWhen the Checkers started the season with seven healthy defenseman, Beau Schmitz was the clear seventh choice. He played just three of the team's first 15 games, with those three games coming only when one of the top six suffered an injury.
As it turns out, the injuries got more serious as time went on, with Michal Jordan, Rasmus Rissanen and Danny Biega all facing longer spells on the sidelines. With all seven blueliners now healthy for the first time since Dec. 7, Schmitz seems to have worked his way into more of a rotation, playing Saturday's game against Texas while rookie Keegan Lowe sat for the first time as a professional.
Based on how each player played in those last two games, both Checkers wins, Daniels may not be any closer to ending that rotation. Schmitz was plus-3 in the 6-1 win over the Stars, with coaches and teammates alike crediting a Lowe fight when the team was down 2-0 against Norfolk the next day as a turning point that led to their comeback.
"(Schmitz) has been great," said Daniels, who used the sophomore blueiner in 19 of 21 games between Nov. 19 and Jan. 11. "It starts in practice and he's one of our hardest-working guys in practice. I thought he was real good against Texas Saturday because they come really hard on the forecheck and you've got to get back, get pucks and skate out of the zone.
"We wanted to take Keegan out of one game and put him back in Sunday – that was always the plan – and we'll see where we can fit everyone in."
It's more difficult to see both getting in the lineup at the expense of someone else – Jordan, Rissanen, Matthew Corrente and Mark Flood are reliable veterans, while Biega has proven he can handle big minutes in his rookie year – but it's an option Daniels can use if something should change.
"It could open up," said Daniels of expanding the competition beyond Lowe vs. Schmitz. "We'll see based on play. We talked to Keegan and Beau about how Michal sat out, Riss sat out some games and (Brett) Bellemore sat out some games in their first years. It's just part of their development."
The Golden BoysIt didn't look like the Checkers' four injured forwards – Nicolas Blanchard, Sean Dolan, Jared Staal and Brendan Woods – were going to skate on Tuesday morning. Then, just as the rest of the team was starting to trickle off the ice after the full team practice, they emerged from the locker room in yellow non-contact jerseys to much fanfare from their teammates.
Dolan, Staal and Woods were at least able to do some conditioning work with Daniels, while Blanchard was mostly just out for a spin. Daniels did not have timetables on how long each player would be out, but it doesn't seem as though any of them will be ready to play this week.
"I'm not even focused on them until they're ready to go," said Daniels. "Right now I'm just focused on the guys that are healthy."
His ability to find capable replacements over the last several weeks has given Daniels that luxury. During the team's November struggles, depth at forward was a major issue. Now, the injured four will make things very interesting in regards to lineup choices, with A.J. Jenks and Matthew Pistilli looking like they belong at the AHL level since rejoining the Checkers on tryout contracts. Philippe Cornet, acquired via an AHL trade, and Greg Nemisz, who joined via an NHL transaction, aren't going anywhere.
"We have the depth and when these guys come back we'll have tough decisions, but there could also be call-ups or injuries," said Daniels. "You never know. You like to have the depth, and right now it's good to have it."
Olympic RulesThe NHL is set to take a two-week Olympic break from Feb. 9-24. However, it will be business as usual in the AHL during that time, leading to a specific set of rules governing roster moves.
Those rules happen to be quite complicated. For those interested in the gritty details, the Syracuse Post-Standard has a helpful breakdown. Based on that article, here is a summary of how those rules may affect the Checkers:
Waiver rules are still in play, which only makes it realistic for players still on their entry-level deals to come to Charlotte. That's a group of only three players, one of whom, Justin Faulk, is actually going to the Olympics. Meanwhile, at this point in time, center Elias Lindholm and defenseman Ryan Murphy do appear to be eligible to play in the AHL during the Olympic break due to a combination of factors including days spent on the NHL roster this season and how often they have played in the NHL during the last few weeks.
In Murphy's case, the Hurricanes would essentially have to make that decision, in the form of an official assignment to Charlotte, by this Friday, Jan. 24, at 5 p.m. He would also have to stay with the Checkers until the beginning of the Olympic break, meaning seven NHL games missed. If he's not with Charlotte by the deadline, he could still play in the AHL during the two-week period before the break begins but not during the break itself.
Meanwhile, it seems that Lindholm, who has not been on the NHL roster for as many days as Murphy this season, could play the remainder of the Hurricanes' pre-Olympic schedule and still be eligible to play in the AHL during the break. The Hurricanes would just need to make that assignment before 5 p.m. on Feb. 9.
Is any of that likely to happen? Injuries to the rest of the NHL club will determine whether or not the Hurricanes can live without Murphy, who has sat out each of the Hurricanes' last two games as a healthy extra. Lindholm, meanwhile, has had a whirlwind first half that's included a handful of injuries and his participation in the World Junior Championship in his native Sweden, meaning a break may not be the worst thing in the world for a 19-year-old rookie.
In either case, Daniels didn't seem to be aware of the Hurricanes' plans for either player.
"I'm really not sure," said Daniels. "I'd have to look into it, but we're not worried about that and have to focus on what we have here. Whether we get a guy or lose a guy, that's something we'll worry about down the road."
The Checkers are scheduled to play six games during the NHL's Olympic break, including two at Raleigh's PNC Arena on Feb. 14 and 16.

Analog and Digital Circuits for Electronic Control Systems Applications Using the TI MSP430 covers the fundamentals of:
Embedded systems are ubiquitous; they are all around us, doing things for us without our awareness or involvement, like applying our brakes optimally in ABS systems, adjusting our environments in HVAC systems, and landing our aircraft in fly-by-wire systems. As these examples show, one of the most important functions of most embedded systems designs is the measurement, processing, and adjustment of real-world analog data (such as temperature, pressure, or humidity); these functions are generically known as control systems. In today's systems, the processing must be made at increasing speeds yet with the utmost accuracy and lowest possible power consumption. This practical book, endorsed by Texas Instruments, explains the latest techniques in microcontroller-based control system design, the fundamentals of sensors, and circuit design.
The book, written by experienced microcontroller engineer and textbook author Jerry Luecke, is suitable for community college students, technical school students, technicians and engineers just being introduced to microcontroller system design. It is an introductory book, focusing on real-world implementation of a basic control system, with real-world circuit examples. You will find clearly-written discussions coupled with many illustrations. You will also find worked-out examples that illustrate principles within each chapter, and quizzes to improve your understanding.
In addition, a hands-on TI MSP430 project suitable for an electronics microcontroller laboratory course is discussed in detail. The accompanying CD-ROM contains microcontroller application notes, code for the software examples, and problem solutions.

After much procrastination, stitching, unpicking, restitching and language colourful enough to make the paint peel from the walls, I can now present to you my entry to the Hillarys Blinds Country Craft Competition!
The idea of the competition was to choose a fabric from the four available designs, Hillarys Blinds then sent out a free 100cm x 100cm (39" x 39") sample of the chosen material, and the rest was up to your imagination!
The rules stated that you had to make an original craft design and publish a blog post with pictures describing how you made your entry. I started with the best intentions (don't we all?) planning to photograph every step and put together a bit of a tutorial, but this didn't happen. I wasn't using a proper pattern, rather making it up as I went along, and pretty much everything I did I would do a bit differently if I made another one! However, I did do a bit of research, especially regarding how to fit the bag into the purse frame, so I will to try to take you through the process of how I put this bag together and what I learned along the way.
But first, let's talk about the fabric!
There was never any doubt in my mind as to which fabric pattern I was going to choose: it had to be the peacock one, or Bird Parade Teal, to give if its proper name. I love peacocks. I love their ridiculously over the top plumage in all its technicolour glory at the front that hides a very drab and dull rear-view. I like the brazen way their display of feathers shouts "eyes front, ladies! You know you want me!" That's probably how most people think of peacocks: tail feathers fanned out, strutting their stuff to attract a mate, moving more like a carnival float than a bird, but that isn't how they are portrayed in the Bird Parade design. These birds are roosting in the branches of a tree, behaviour that is just as natural as their courtship displays but not typically what you would expect of such a large bird.
About ten years ago we had a family holiday in Cornwall where we rented accommodation in the converted stables of a manor house, and they had quite a large number of peacocks roaming around the grounds. (Side note: the collective noun for peacocks is a muster,a pulchritude or an ostentation!) They were very friendly and nosy neighbours, taking every opportunity to wander into the holiday flats whenever a door was left open – much to my two-year-old niece's delight! They could be a bit noisy too, but what stuck me most was that these plump, stately birds somehow managed to get airborne! Not enough to travel any distance, but just enough to flap their way up to roost at night on the roofs of the taller buildings. It was nothing as elegant as actual flight, but it was still quite a spectacle! And that's what the Bird Parade design reminded me of: watching those peacocks and enjoying a lovely family holiday in the country.
So imagine a country estate, a little run down around the edges but still with a quiet, shabby dignity to it. Think of Cornish cream teas, Earl Grey served in mismatched, not-quite antique cups and saucers, throwing crumbs to the peacocks whenever they get bold enough to run the gauntlet of children circling the table with their noisy games. This little snapshot of summer is what became my inspiration for this competition.
By the time my fabric arrived I'd already decided that I would probably make a bag with it, but what kind? The obvious choice would be to make a replacement for my old, battered canvas shoulder bag that I drag round everywhere, but although that would have been useful, it didn't quite sit right with my country day dream.
So I tried thinking of a bag that would still be functional but a bit less utilitarian, something a bit old fashioned, almost traditional but a little contemporary too, a handbag with a proper frame and clasp, maybe with interchangeable handles…
Although I had my idea for nearly two weeks, that was as far as I got! I hadn't done much sewing in quite a while, and the last bag I made was… a learning experience so say the least. Still, free fabric, what did I have to lose? I ordered the frame for the top of the bag, opting for a glue-in one rather than the sew-in type I'd struggled with on a previous bag making attempt. The frame and the glue were the only things I bought especially for this project, the rest I already had in my crafty stash. I went through my ribbons, lace and bias binding, searching for things that would complement the colours in my fabric, and I found lots of inspiration!
Next, using the metal frame as a guide, plus some tips I picked up from this tutorial for making an evening purse, I measured and marked out a pattern piece for my bag. This was the only pattern I used and it formed the template for both external pieces, the lining and the interfacing. Next came the scary bit: cutting into my beautiful peacock fabric!
When you only have a limited amount of material, the temptation is to make it stretch as far as possible, and whilst I didn't want to waste even a tiny scrap of fabric, I also knew that I needed to place the pattern pieces carefully to really show off the fabric design. I wanted a whole peacock on both the front and the back with no detached body parts floating round the edges. Once I threw in seam allowances too it was quite tricky to angle the pieces just so without a stray head or tail sneaking in or being accidentally lopped off. The only way to do it was to mark the fabric on the right side, something I'm usually loathe to do, but I decided to risk it with an air erasable pen.
That was my first mistake. It's important that all the ink is completely gone before you iron the fabric because the heat can set any remaining ink marks, making them permanent, but when it says it takes up to 72 hours for them to disappear it actually means at least 72 hours, more if you were a bit heavy handed with it (which I was) . The ink is supposed to be removable with soap and water if you can't just wait for it to fade away, and I did have a bit of a dab at it in one corner but it didn't go very well. Up to this point the fabric (which is meant for blinds after all, not sewing projects!) had been a joy to work with: easy to cut with either scissors or a rotary cutter, it held its shape well and didn't really fray despite being quite a large weave. However, it didn't like getting wet and being scrubbed at, which didn't really come as a huge surprise as there are few fabrics that will stand up to such treatment!
So the first thing I'd do differently is stick to my trusty water soluble marker. A quick dab of water and it's gone!
When the air erasable pen had (at last!) sufficiently faded, I ironed on the interfacing to the back of my peacock fabric, as well as a square on the back of my lining fabric where the pocket was going to go on the inside of the bag. The pocket itself was a simple patch with a little bit of small bobbly trim along the top, and I sewed onto the lining before starting to make up the bag itself.
In my (somewhat limited) sewing experience I've found that it's best to build your project around what part absolutely has to line up – usually the zip but in this case the frame including the clasp. So instead of making an inner bag for the lining and another bag for the outside, jamming the one inside the other and hoping that I could fudge the the seam around the top, I began with the top edge of the bag (meaning the part that had to be glued into the metal frame).
The video tutorial I found via the website where I bought the purse frame recommended gluing some piping into the groove and then stitching the bag to the flap of fabric that was left poking from the bottom of the frame. This seemed a bit awkward to me, so I decided to use the piping around the top, machine stitched in as neatly as if it was going to show, and just glue the whole thing into the frame when the rest was done.
This worked beautifully, which was a bit of a surprise as it was the first time I'd ever worked with piping! I was concerned about the piping sliding out of place as I sandwiched it between the two layers of fabric, so I tacked it into place along the edge of my peacock fabric first, and this did the trick. Using the zipper foot on my sewing machine helped me get the stitching really close to the piping, and I found that you have to go close much closer to the edge than you'd expect, almost stitching right on top of the piping itself.
I then made up the bag, leaving a gap in the bottom of the lining to turn it right side out, then stitching it up.
Gluing the bag into the frame was surprisingly trauma free, despite being the part of the process I worried about most. For once I followed instructions! I applied the glue inside the frame on one side, spread it around with a matchstick and waited five minutes for it to get tacky before inserting the piped edge of the bag and pressing it in firmly. I then waited half an hour and repeated the process with the other side.
It was all going so well! And then I noticed something that I'd been trying to overlook since I'd added the piping: the huge gap between the hinge of the frame and the v of piped edge. This was due to a completely arbitrary decision I'd made when sketching out the template that I should have adjusted before adding the piping.
My beautiful piping! I was going to have to remove the only areas of piping that weren't hidden inside the metal frame! It was a tough decision but it had to be done to get rid of the saggy trout mouth look my bag had developed. Some unpicking, a few little snips and some hand stitching later, my bag was looking much better for its minor surgery!
Compared to the excess piping debacle, making some interchangeable handles was easy! Each handle was made with lace and ribbon backed with patterned bias binding, and the bag frame had loops to clip a strap onto, so I used lobster claw clasps at each end to make it easy to swap the handle with the minimum of fuss.
Choosing between different straps for the bag made quite a subtle change to its look, but I wanted to go further to bring out the various colours in the peacocks feathers, so naturally I reached for my crochet hook! Using the "raised rosette" pattern from Melody Griffiths' book 201 Crochet Motifs, Blocks & Ideas as a starting point, I made two corsages from my stash of Drops Safran 4ply cotton. They still needed a little something, so I added some lace from some vintage doilies I'd dyed a while ago, and voila!
Each side of the bag has a slightly different character to it, and depending on which handle and flower you attach, different colours in the design become more prominent.
My bag isn't perfect; the finish leaves a lot to be desired! But just like the peacocks trying to fly up to their roost on the roof, I got there in the end, albeit after a lot of noise, flapping and fuss!
I hope you enjoyed this post. Wish me luck with the competition!
