I am available in the evening and on Saturdays full time. I love showing off in the forest and having my picture taken However, what really gets me going are the unexpected hookups in atypical places (garages, bathrooms, etc.), so be innovative out there on the streets of Everett. I hope to have this man who will make all my sexual desires. I'm excited to see your responses. See you soon, kisses. See you soon.

I have discussed at this blog many times the differences and similarities between the "Marketplace of Ideas" and the free marketplace of products. The most relevant difference is the property the system should optimize. For our economies it is profit and - if you believe the standard theory - this results ideally in a most efficient use of resources. One can debate how well the details work, but by and large it has indeed worked remarkably well. In the academic system however, the property to optimize is "good research" - a vague notion with subjective value. Before nature's judgement on a research proposal is available, what does or doesn't constitute good research is fluid and determined by the scientific community, which is also the first consumer of that research. Problems occur when one tries to impose fixed criteria for the quality of research, some measure of success. It sets incentives that can only deviate the process of scientific discovery (or invention?) from the original goal.
That is, as I see it, the main problem: setting wrong incentives. Here, I want to focus on a particular example, that of accountability and advance planning. In many areas of science, projects can be planned ahead and laid out in advance in details that will please funding agencies. But everybody who works in fundamental research knows that attempting to do the same in this area too is a complete farce. You don't know where your research will take you. You might have an idea of where to start, but then you'll have to see what you find. Forced to come up with a 3-year, 5 point plan, I've found that some researchers apply for grants after a project has already been finished, just not been published, and then spend the grant on what is actually their next project. Of course that turns the whole system ad absurdum, and few can afford that luxury of delaying publication.
The side-effect of such 3-year pre-planned grants is that researchers adapt to the requirements and think in 3-years pre-plannable projects. Speaking about setting incentives. The rest is good old natural selection. The same is true for 2 or 3 year postdoc positions, that just this month thousands of promising young researchers are applying for. If you sow short-term commitment, you reap short-term thinking. And that's disastrous for fundamental research, because the questions we really need answers to will remain untouched, except for those courageous few scientists who willingly risk their future.
Let us look at where the trends are going: The number of researchers in the USA holding faculty positions 7 years after obtaining their degree has dropped from 90% in '73 to 60% in 2006 (NSF statistics, see figure below). The share of full-time faculty declined from 88% in the early 1970s to 72% in 2006. Meanwhile, postdocs and others in full-time nonfaculty positions constitute an increasing percentage of those doing research at academic institutions, having grown from 13% in 1973 to 27% in 2006.
The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has compiled similar data showing the same trend, see the figure below depicting the share of tenured (black), tenure-track (grey), non-tenured (stripes) and part-time (dots) faculty for the years 1975, 1989, 1995 and 2007 [source] (click to enlarge).
In their summary of the situation, the AAUP speaks clear words "The past four decades have seen a failure of the social contract in faculty employment... Today the tenure system [in the USA] has all but collapsed... the majority of faculty work in subprofessional conditions, often without basic protections for academic freedom."
In their report, the AAUP is more concerned with the quality of teaching, but these numbers also mean that more and more research is done by people on temporary contracts, who at the time they start their job already have to think about applying for the next one. Been there, done that. And I am afraid, this shifting of weight towards short-term thinking will have disastrous consequences for the fundamental research that gets accomplished, if it doesn't already have them.
In the context of setting wrong incentives and short-term thinking another interesting piece of data is Pierre Azoulay et al's study
- Incentives and Creativity: Evidence from the Academic Life Sciences
By Pierre Azoulay, Joshua S. Gra Zivin, Gustavo Manso
(PDF here)
In their paper, the authors compared the success of researchers in the life sciences funded under two different programs, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), which "tolerates early failure, rewards long-term success, and gives its appointees great freedom to experiment" and the National Institute of Health (NIH), with "short review cycles, pre-defined deliverables, and renewal policies unforgiving of failure." Of course the interpretation of the results depends on how appropriate you find the used measure for scientific success, the number of high-impact papers produced under the grant. Nevertheless, I find it tale-telling that, after a suitable adjustment of researcher's average qualification, the HHMI program funding 5 years with good chances of renewal produces a better high-impact output than the NIH 3 year grants.
And speaking of telling tales, let me quote for you from the introduction of Azoulay et al's paper which contains the following nice anecdote:
"In 1980, a scientist from the University of Utah, Mario Capecchi, applied for a grant at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The application contained three projects. The NIH peer-reviewers liked the first two projects, which were building on Capecchi's past research effeorts, but they were unanimously negative in their appraisal of the third project, in which he proposed to develop gene targeting in mammalian cells. They deemed the probability that the newly introduced DNA would ever fi nd its matching sequence within the host genome vanishingly small, and the experiments not worthy of pursuit.
The NIH funded the grant despite this misgiving, but strongly recommended that Capecchi drop the third project. In his retelling of the story, the scientist writes that despite this unambiguous advice, he chose to put almost all his efforts into the third project: "It was a big gamble. Had I failed to obtain strong supporting data within the designated time frame, our NIH funding would have come to an abrupt end and we would not be talking about gene targeting today." Fortunately, within four years, Capecchi and his team obtained strong evidence for the feasibility of gene targeting in mammalian cells, and in 1984 the grant was renewed enthusiastically. Dispelling any doubt that he had misinterpreted the feedback from reviewers in 1980, the critique for the 1984 competitive renewal started, "We are glad that you didn't follow our advice."
The story does not stop there. In September 2007, Capecchi shared the Nobel prize for developing the techniques to make knockout mice with Oliver Smithies and Martin Evans. Such mice have allowed scientists to learn the roles of thousands of mammalian genes and provided laboratory models of human afflictions in which to test potential therapies."

College Football Top 25 Weekend Recap
The college football season is underway. Week one was mostly a humdrum affair, with Notre Dame and TCU suffering the biggest upsets among ranked teams. Here's a complete look at how the top 25 did:
#1 Oklahoma 47, Tulsa 14
Junior walk-on RB Dominique Whaley rushed for 131 yards and four touchdowns in the top-ranked Sooners' season opener. Any chance Tulsa had in the game vanished earlier in the week when WR/KR Damaris Johnson, the NCAA career record-holder for all-purpose yardage, was suspended following his arrest on felony embezzlement charges. The Sooners now have a bye week before a week three showdown with top 10 power Florida State.
#2 Alabama 48, Kent State 7
Crimson Tide RB Trent Richardson only had 13 carries for 37 yards, but made them count with three touchdowns in Alabama's first win of the year.
#4 LSU 40, #3 Oregon 27
In the weekend's most enticing showdown, the Oregon Ducks simply made too many mistakes to give themselves a chance in a 40-27 loss to LSU. Oregon had 12 penalties to go along with four turnovers, which turned into 20 points for the Bayou Bengals. LSU only led by three at half, but the game turned in the 3rd quarter when Oregon freshman RB De'Anthony Thomas fumbled on consecutive touches (a run and a kickoff return), resulting in 14 LSU points in less than three-and-a-half minutes. LSU QB Jarrett Lee, filling in for the suspended Jordan Jefferson, didn't have huge numbers (10-for-22 for 98 yards and one TD) but managed the game well and didn't turn the ball over. The Tigers have now won 34 consecutive non-conference games, including 23 under seventh-year coach Les Miles.
#5 Boise State 35, #19 Georgia 21
Boise State got their first ever win over an SEC team with a 35-21 victory over Georgia at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. Georgia started the scoring with an 80-yard touchdown on an end-around to Brandon Boykin, but Boise State scored the next 28 points to take a lead they would never relinquish. Broncos QB Kellen Moore finished 28-for-34 for 261 yards and three touchdowns, while the Boise State defense did its part by sacking Georgia QB Aaron Murray six times. Things don't get much easier for the Bulldogs, who take on defending SEC East champion South Carolina next week.
#6 Florida State 34, Louisiana-Monroe 0
The Seminoles' defense was stifling, holding ULM to just 191 total yards and never allowing them closer to scoring than the Florida State 28-yard line.
#7 Stanford 57, San Jose State 3
Stanford QB Andrew Luck kicked off his Heisman campaign with an easy win, throwing two touchdowns and rushing for another before sitting out the 4th quarter.
#8 Texas A&M 46, Southern Methodist 14
Beginning what will likely be their last season in the Big 12, Texas A&M routed the Mustangs, who are already lobbying to replace them in the conference. Aggies QB Ryan Tannehill was an efficient 21-for-26 for 246 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while running backs Cyrus Gray and Christine Michael ran up 217 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.
#9 Oklahoma State 61, Louisiana-Lafayette 34
Although they were introducing a new offensive coordinator, Oklahoma State's offense didn't miss a beat, rolling up 666 total yards. Senior QB Brandon Weeden did throw 3 interceptions, but made up for them with 388 yards and 3 touchdowns through the air.
#10 Nebraska 40, Chattanooga 7
Huskers QB Taylor Martinez showed no signs of the ankle injury that hobbled him most of last season, rushing for 135 yards and three touchdowns in three quarters of play.
#11 Wisconsin 51, Nevada-Las Vegas 17
New Wisconsin QB Russell Wilson lived up to the hype, as the Badgers pounded UNLV Thursday night. The transfer from North Carolina State made an immediate impact for Wisconsin, going 10-for-13 for 255 yards and a pair of touchdowns in less than three quarters of play. He also rushed for 62 yards and another touchdown. Running back Monte Ball was equally impressive, rushing and receiving for a combined 140 yards and four TDs (his fourth regular season game in a row with at least three TDs).
#12 South Carolina 56, East Carolina 37
ECU jumped out to an early 17-0 lead, but QB Stephen Garcia came off the bench to overcome four USC turnovers and rally the Gamecocks to a comfortable victory.
#13 Virginia Tech 66, Appalachian State 13
The Hokies made sure there would be no repeat of last year's season opening loss to an FCS opponent, scoring on seven of their first nine possessions and jumping out to a 52-0 lead less than three minutes into the 3rd quarter.
Baylor 50, #14 TCU 48
TCU probably won't crash the BCS party again this year after dropping their season opener to Baylor. The Horned Frogs, who came into the game carrying an FBS-best 25-game regular season winning streak and boasting one of the nation's best defenses last year, had no answer for Baylor QB Robert Griffin III, who threw for 359 yards and five touchdowns. TCU trailed 47-23 going into the fourth quarter, before launching a furious comeback with 25 unanswered points to take a 48-47 lead with 4:27 to go. But Griffin led the Bears on an 11-play, 60-yard drive that ended in a 37-yard field goal with 1:04 left to seal the Baylor victory. The win was Baylor's first over a ranked opponent since 2004.
#15 Arkansas 51, Missouri 7
Replacing the departed Ryan Mallett, new Razorbacks QB Tyler Wilson was only in the game for four possessions, but led scoring drives on all four while throwing for 260 yards and two touchdowns. The Razorbacks' special teams also did damage, returning two punts for touchdowns.
South Florida 23, #16 Notre Dame 20
Lou Holtz won 100 games and a national championship in his 11 years as head coach at Notre Dame. But this week, it was son Skip Holtz's turn to make a memory in South Bend. The first-year head coach led his South Florida Bulls to a 23-20 weather-delayed upset of the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame had twice as many yards as the Bulls (508 vs. 254), but turned the ball over five times, including a fumble that South Florida returned 96 yards for the game's opening touchdown.
#17 Michigan State 28, Youngstown State 6
Spartans WR B.J. Cunningham tied MSU's record for career receptions in the victory, catching nine balls for 129 yards and a touchdown.
#18 Ohio State 42, Akron 0
Despite breaking in a new head coach and playing without eight suspended players, the Buckeyes still had too much talent for Akron. The Zips managed just 90 total yards and five first downs, while giving up five sacks.
#20 Mississippi State 59, Memphis 14
Mississippi State's offense exploded for several long plays in a route of Memphis. The Bulldogs rolled up 645 total yards and scored six touchdowns on plays of more than 20 yards.
#21 Missouri 17, Miami (OH) 6
The Tigers never seemed to find any rhythm in the game, going just three-for-13 on 3rd down conversions and being flagged nine times for 81 yards. But the RedHawks special teams couldn't capitalize on Mizzou's struggles, missing a 41-yard field goal and giving up a blocked PAT.
#22 Florida 41, Florida Atlantic 3
New head coach Will Muschamp got his first career win as the Gators rolled to an easy win over Florida Atlantic. The Florida defense was dominant, holding the Owls to just 137 total yards and forcing three-and-outs on FAU's fist four possessions.
#23 Auburn 42, Utah State 38
The defending national champion Auburn Tigers needed two late touchdowns and a successful onside kick in less than two minutes to secure a win over the Utah State Aggies. The Tigers' defense was ineffective most of the day, as Utah State rolled up 448 yards, dominated the time of possession and twice led by double digits. But the Auburn offense woke up just in time to save the game. Auburn QB Barrett Trotter (17-for-23 for 261 yards and three touchdowns) led the Tigers on a six-play, 65-yard drive to pull within three with just 2:07 left. Following a successful onside kick, the Tigers went on an eight-play, 56-yard drive capped off by Michael Dyer's one-yard touchdown run with 30 seconds left to seal the victory. The win was Auburn's ninth straight in games decided by eight points or less, the longest such active streak in the FBS.
#24 West Virginia 34, Marshall 13
New head coach Dana Holgorsen's new offense wasn't as high-octane as it can be, but showed definite signs of life as the Mountaineers rolled up 291 yards, including 249 in the air, and 34 points in just over three quarters of play. The game was called with 14:36 left in the fourth quarter due to severe storms in the area.
#25 Southern Cal 19, Minnesota 17
USC QB Matt Barkley completed a school-record 34 passes for 304 yards and three touchdowns. But the Trojans couldn't manage any points in the second half and needed an interception with just 53 seconds left to seal the victory.

I won't complain about it, of course. I'll just stand by, trying to be patient, trying to appear genuinely interested in the flyer on the wall advertising the new "Mommy and Me" body sculpting classes for North Shore mothers and their offspring.
When a typical example of Evanston manhood sits on the shoulder press machine, making cell phone calls to his trainer and his broker, I'll force myself to think things like, "Hey, I'm in no hurry, right? I'll just do a few more stretches."
When two tri-Delts just back from winter break spend 15 minutes sitting on adjoining leg machines, discussing the agony of losing the two pounds it will take to get back into their size zero A & F jeans, I will think, "Such dedication, in such young persons!" and smile beatifically.
Or maybe I won't.
Maybe my New Year's Resolution will be to stop being so nice. Maybe 2006 is the year I begin to kick the asses of those who spent 2005 getting up my commodious nose.
By way of example...
Modern Parents and Their Children
Specifically, people who expect the world to maintain a 20-foot zone of space and quiet around their precious children at all times. These are the same parents who teach their kids that the world is their toy box, that their needs are first among those of all people, and that all their demands should be voiced immediately and at full volume no matter where.
These are people like the mother on the bus whose tow-headed darling pointed at me and said, "Mommy, that man looks like a burglar! He has a dark beard and dark skin!" Mommy's equally audible response: "Yes, burglars have dark beards and skin, don't they? But I bet when he robs people he wears a mask."
If you are such a parent, you would do well to keep your children away from me this year. If little Schuyler kicks me in the shins, and you laugh to indicate that I should find this cute, his Baby Gucci boots are getting thrown into traffic. I may or may not take them off his feet first.
Urban Snails
I will move on to people who walk really slow. I don't mean people who have to walk slow, whether their mobility issues stem from age or infirmity. I mean dawdlers-by-choice who live in the third largest city in the United States and have never noticed the line of 30,000 people stuck behind them, trying to get to the platform before the train leaves. They wear high-heeled shoes during ice storms in November. They think State Street during lunch hour is a swell place to stop and smell the roses. They like to pause, meditatively, at the bottoms and tops of escalators.
If they notice their fellow citizens at all, it's to ask, "Hey, why the hurry?"
Why the hurry? Because this is a city, you morons. Cities are for people who like to be busy. Cities are for people who are busy. Busy people don't @$!* have time to stroll. You wanna stroll? Go stroll on a dirt road in rural Wisconsin and bother the cows. Because in 2006, if I'm behind you and the train's coming, you're going to get a pointy umbrella in the back of the neck.
The Preacher Outside the Old Navy on State Street
Listen, loudmouth. Every time I walk by you start bellowing about how mine is not the kingdom of heaven if I behave in a "HO-MO-sexshul FASHion."
Well, I happen to disagree. However, you're the one with the bullhorn, so there's no point in trying to out-yell you. So next time I'm just going to walk over and give you a big ol' French kiss. It's high time you made good on your latent fascination with hot men. Pucker up.
Women Who Wear Lingerie as Outerwear
Especially when combined with low-rise jeans. I include the famous ones, like Britney and Christina; and the less-famous, like the Northwestern University Class of 2007. I am tired of being confronted by your boobs and bellies. You look like pork sausages with low morals. I am buying a super-soaker, and I have great aim.
Midwestern Tourists
Whether you've rolled into Chicago from near (like Gurnee and Naperville) or far (like Iowa) the next time I hear you say any of the following,
- "This must be the neighborhood with all the queers."
- "I'm sure those homeless people could get jobs if they wanted to."
- "Watch your purse, honey, that black guy was looking at it."

Shut up. Stop it. Go away.

Microsoft To Support Surface RT Into 2017
Microsoft's official support lifecycle for Surface with Windows RT hardware ends 4/11/2017. They have not yet announced the end of support for the Windows RT operating system on Surface and devices from Lenovo, Dell, Toshiba and other OEMs, nor for Office Home and Student 2013 RT, which is bundled with Surface RT. The support lifecycle for Intel-based Windows 8 is longer and more complicated.
Microsoft has announced the official support life cycle dates for Surface with Windows RT hardware and for the Windows 8 operating system, but not yet for the Windows RT operating system.
Thanks to ZDNet's Ed Bott for the tip on this. As Ed points out, Microsoft's support policies and life cycles are more complicated, but usually considerably more generous than the competition's. Consider the fact that Windows XP, which dates back over 10 years, will get security updates until April 2014. For many of the products with which Surface RT competes, the support life is either much shorter or will end at the whim of the vendor.
The standard support period for business and consumer software products is five years. For business and developer products there is an "extended support" period of another five years, during which security updates are free and some other support options can be purchased. For consumer hardware products support generally lasts four years. During that period, according to Microsoft: "Hardware repairs or replacements and parts are available throughout the support life cycle. Services are free for products under warranty and available for a fee for products out of warranty." Firmware updates for the devices will be available during this period. So will phone and online support, but potentially for a fee.
The official support period for Surface RT hardware is Jan. 24, 2013, to April 11, 2017. It might seem odd that the support period has not yet begun, and yet the product has been available for weeks and is already being supported. Support life cycles begin in the first month of the quarter after a product goes on sale. The exact support end date is based on a formula.
For the Windows RT operating system running on Microsoft's Surface and systems from OEMs such as Dell, Toshiba and Lenovo, support officially begins this Friday, Oct. 30. The end date has not yet been announced.
To be clear, this means that the hardware in a Surface RT, and the firmware running on it, have a different support period than the Windows RT operating system running on it. Office Home and Student 2013 RT, which is bundled with Surface RT, have the same support period as the Windows RT operating system.
The support period for all current editions of Windows 8 runs from Oct. 30, 2012, to Jan. 9, 2018, to the extended support date of Jan. 10, 2023. Microsoft has extended these dates in the past, most famously for Windows XP, which would already have reached end of life by now on the original schedule.
Microsoft implies, in the support life cycle declaration for the Windows RT operating system, that it could be a business product in some cases. If it were a consumer product the extended support period would be "not applicable" rather than just unannounced. This is interesting in that Windows RT explicitly lacks features, such as manageability, which would be essential to business use.

The Demand Distribution curve illustrates how a TV show's popularity compares to the demand benchmark, which is a measure of the average demand across all titles. The curve is divided into performance buckets, ranging from "Below Average" to "Exceptional". A show falls into one of these performance buckets depending on how many times more or less demand it has compared to the demand benchmark.
The show's performance is market-specific, e.g. the same show can be in the "Average" range in the United States and in the "Good" range in France.
As an example, if a show has 9 times more demand than the demand benchmark, it falls in the "Outstanding" performance range; only 2.7% of all shows in the market reach this high level of demand.

It's really hard to do a post after those fabulous chocolate ganache donuts with salty pistachios. I mean how can you compete with that? Well, let me see if I can try.
Sweet potato hash I know I've made before for you, but had to share another version that I enjoyed so much so that I know you'll love it too. I actually make sweet potato hash a lot, in various ways: stuffed in a burrito with cheese and rice, under eggs, over french toast, in soup, oh the list is endless because it is so versatile and tasty.
If you're a heat-junkie like me then you will love this hash. I adore adobo's--it was the perfect pairing to put them in a "sweet" potato hash.
How have you made hash before? Any favorites?
sweet potato hash with adobo
print recipe
2-3 sweet potatoes, chopped into 1-inch cubes
EV olive oil
A few TB's of butter
salt & pepper
¼ - ½ cup caramelized onions
Worcestershire sauce
1 – 3 chopped adobo chile peppers in sauce, minced (these are hot so use caution)
Caramelize some onions (about 1 giant sweet yellow onion) after it's done caramelizing add a few drops of the Worcestershire sauce, set aside.
Heat up same skillet (don't clean it) with some EVOO and fry up the sweet potatoes until nice & crispy, season with salt and pepper. Towards the end of cooking add a few tablespoons of butter to the skillet to melt into the hash. Then add in a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, mix until combined. Then add in the chopped/minced adobo. Stir, then serve with eggs and fried tomatoes.
fried tomatoes
2 – 3 med size tomatoes, sliced thick, set on paper towels to dry up moisture
1/4 - 1/2 cup Flour
2-3 TB cornstarch
few dashes Old bay seasoning
2 - 3 TB cornmeal
Salt & pepper
EVOO and butter for frying up tomatoes
In a flat bowl mix all the dry ingredients. Heat up same skillet you used for the sweet potatoes (no need to clean it as it has great seasoning still left in it). Melt up some butter and EVOO. Dredge the tomatoes in the dry mixture and fry them up until brown & crispy on both sides.

To: Chris Skidmore
Save our NHS: Kingswood
Our NHS is precious. Please do everything you can to protect it, including:
* Stopping privatisation
* Making sure it has the funding it needs to provide high quality healthcare to everyone
* Protecting it from US health corporations by keeping the NHS out of TTIP
Why is this important?
Our NHS is precious. We all rely on it to care for us and our loved ones. We want to protect it for the future, and we don't want to see it run down or sold off.
Over the past few years, NHS funding has been squeezed so much that services are suffering. This winter, hospitals up and down the country have declared "major incidents" because they're struggling to cope. And now most hospitals are warning that their budget for next year has " reached the point where patient care is at riskâ€
Meanwhile, the government is letting profit-hungry companies take over more and more NHS services. At at a time of squeezed budgets, this is the last thing the NHS needs. We want an NHS where patient safety is put first, and where the NHS is run for the public good.
TTIP, the planned trade deal between the EU and the USA, could threaten the NHS further. If TTIP opens our NHS to American private healthcare companies, we could see even more privatisation and a slide into more US-style healthcare. We want the NHS excluded from TTIP.
If this is not the constituency that you live in you can sign the petition to your MP and the candidates to be your MP here: https://you.38degrees.org.uk/efforts/save-our-nhs/near/new

Family Rescued In Pacific After Sailing 'Where God Led Us'
A leap of faith that sent an Arizona family bound for the South Pacific in a sailboat has returned them in an airplane after a harrowing ordeal at sea that saw them adrift and nearly out of food in one of the remotest stretches of ocean on the planet.
Hannah Gastonguay, 26, and her husband, Sean, 30, were fed up with abortion, homosexuality, taxes and the "state-controlled church" and so "decided to take a leap of faith and see where God led us," she told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. With them were Sean's father and the couple's two daughters, one 3 years old and the other an infant.
A few weeks into their ultimately 91 days at sea, the Gastonguays encountered "squall after squall after squall" that damaged their boat. Originally on a heading for the archipelago nation of Kiribati near the international dateline, they changed course to the Marquesas Islands, but were unable to reach them either.
Along the way, they apparently suffered damage to their mast and, unable to set a foresail, made little westward progress.
They were down to "some juice and some honey" and whatever fish they could catch when a passing Canadian cargo ship tried to help out with supplies. But when it came alongside, it did even more damage to the tiny sailboat.
Eventually, the family was picked up by a Venezuelan fishing vessel.
"The captain said, 'Do you know where you're at? You're in the middle of nowhere,' " Hannah Gastonguay told the AP.
From there, the five were transferred to a Japanese cargo ship and, after three weeks, dropped off in Chile.
Gastonguay told the AP that she never thought the family was going to die: "We believed God would see us through."
In Chile, police prefect Jose Luis Lopez told the newspaper Las Ultimas Noticias:
"They were looking for a kind of adventure; they wanted to live on a Polynesian island but they didn't have sufficient expertise to navigate adequately," he said.

I think the look came out pretty well, you know some older people are just set in their ways.
I'm so glad you posted this. People need to see that when you complete a look on someone and they don't get the results they want - even if it looks good - it's hard to deal with.
When I did my "audition" for the wedding I did last fall, the bride said she hated the eye liner. It was too thick - blah blah blah. I told her I would make it thinner on her wedding day if that is what she wanted and then left.
When her wedding day came, I was prepared to give her the thin liner and she told me to do what I had done originally b/c she liked it after wearing it.
BTW the look is great.
thank you for posting this. As an aspiring mua, i need all the preparation i can get. You are my number one resource for all things mua related. Thanks!
Thanks for posting this. Most MUA's have these same issues but rarely speak about them. I am an extremely emotional and passionate person, and take things personal when a client criticizes my work:-( I think your work was lovely by the way.
this was a great post, girl. i have a lot of experience working with community programs and i think a lot of the time, the negative comments are a result of insecurity. they're not comfortable with themselves & don't see themselves in a positive light - so when you try and put them in one - they put up a wall because they don't know how to process it. it's so hard to deal with though, because it almost seems like they're TRYING to hurt you - but you can't look at it like that. you're wonderfully talented & we all know it. let it be motivation for the future xo
Thank you for sharing the trial and tribulations of being an artist. When you are dealing with people who are set in their ways regarding makeup it is hard to break their routine mold. I had a wedding this past summer and one of the bridesmaids was an avid tanner and she had various degrees of discoloration. I evened out her skin beautifully but when she saw it she said it was too light but behind my back. When I approached her on it she would not talk to me. I said to her I am happy to fix anything for you...she said it was fine and proceeded to bad mouth me to other people. the joke was later on her.. when I saw the photos. She "touched up" my application with her own makeup after the ceremony and she wears a foundation 3 shades lighter than her actual tone....and there was a mask cast. Oh well you win some you lose some. Every job is a learning experience, EVERY JOB..no matter how long you have been doing it.
Yea I'm guessing they were being testy on account of their own insecurity but it sounds like you know handle all situations professionally and gracefully :) love reading these insights by you.
I think you did a great job! I think that many women have a pre-defined notion of what they should look like, or stuck in time warp!
You are a brave and tactful person!
I agree with Tysh, older people are not used to seeing themselves with a little enhancement. You did an awesome job at keeping her look her age.
She looked a lot better after you worked your magic on her! I can't believe she actually said that.
this was a great post! i really appreciated the combination of technical information and the honesty of your experience.
I guess there are difficult people out there no matter what you do or how generous you are. They just don't want to be happy. Don't take it as a reflection on you. Your work is beautiful and the way you graciously handled the situation is even more beautiful.
I think she looks beautiful. I had someone say the EXACT SAME THING to me once! She NEVER wore makeup & hated the idea all together.
i always tell people that they actually MISS the discoloration on their faces- that theya ren't too pale, just corrected & now I'll use colored cosmetics to add color back in the the right areas. They usually will then reserve judgement until i'm done, and are typically more happy.
I think you did a great job! I'm sure she'll look back and see how beautiful you made her. =) Sorry you had a rough day though.
You did a wonderful thing volunteering your time! It is so disheartening when you give your time and effort and it is not appreciated in return. Just keep thoughts of all of the women that were happy with your work and thankful you were there giving your time and let the others go.
It's great to see such an honest post! Keep up the good work!
wow! that's so brave of you to take everything into consideration. I honestly thought the before and after pic turned out great. she looked wonderful and more chic. its like you said, she prob wasn't used to it if she hardly worke makeup. keep up the positive attitude! :D
wow that seems kinda ungrateful that she would say that, but you can't please everyone. I think you did an amazing job. You really enhanced her features :)
WOW! Ren...this was a great post! I know all too well about those feelings when you know you have "beat" a face and it looks gorgeous and then they look in the mirror and say " it looks ok", or they don't say anything at all. It can take a hit to your confidence, but i appreciate your candid thoughts on the trials of ALL makeup artists. I've worked with a celebrity artist as well and one woman said they same thing to her " ugh, i look dead". So it happens to all of us, no matter how long you have been in the game! Take the good with the bad and keep it movin'!
Wow I'm sorry about those unappreciative ladies. The make over you did for her was great; she didn't look as old and was very well put together. Silver lipstick .. I didn't even think they made that O.o Good work :D
This is a really great post. Just know that you cannot please everyone, but, you can definitely walk away from the situation knowing you gave your best under the circumstance! By the way, I think your work is absolutely amazing! I am new to this beauty blogging and makeup artistry. I am very excited I found your page because your posts are always VERY informative. Keep up the great work!
i like this post. i can understand where you're coming from, even though i'm not a makeup artist, though MUAs inspire me!
and i agree with some older people are set in their ways. i think her skin looks better a great deal in the 'after' shot, and she looks more vibrant than the 'before' photo.
wow, what an amazing project to be a part of! plenty of jobs require long periods of time standing with no breaks, so take heart in knowing you weren't alone...
i don't know why the lady thought she looked dead (lighter skin?) but i honestly don't think she looked any more alive in her before photo. is that mean?
but i know hairstylists deal with people not liking a look A LOT too lol i think you handled it well.
Great post. I would love to do community projects like that but I've been scared of the same thing. I find that many older people or people that don't wear a lot of makeup have the same reactions when i apply makeup on them." oh it looks like makeup", "that color looks terrible on me" etc etc. You just have to work with them and make them happy in the end. You are such a great artist. I think she looked great. Her skin looked even and fresh. Sometimes too, they need reassurance from people around them or need to wear the look in like Nat said.
u transformed that woman Ren....but u spoke true words today..I'm glad u did. As a makeup artist myself, I have also endured the harsh criticism and sometimes I also am my worst critic...but this is our reality. It's never easy to get up in someone else's face and change the way they are used to seeing themselves...we can only do what we envision for their best look and pray they love it!
The make over looked great!!!
I remember the first make over I did was for a wedding. I was a nervous wreck. Of course, she didn't like it at first. But, this lady was used to only wearing lip gloss and mascara- so it was a big change from what her regular routine was.
I think the after picture really make her look younger. I would love to have you makeover me. Ha haha. I truly agree with you that many people love to see the look on celebrities or someone they see on themselves. However, it truly depends on you face structures, your skins tones, and many other factors. Also some people think that they look so dead, but for a photoshoot, thicker makeup truly make you shine and bring out your hidden beauty. Examine the pic, her skin is not saggy and has more even skin tone. I think it is perfect. But I hope this is not the final face portrait, b/c the photograph is a bit ugly. My cousin's wife was wearing thick makeup on their wedding night. Since they do not have a really pro photographer, so her makeup really help her not being faded. Though outside, everyone said that she look like a Corpse wife. ha haha.
I really want to do some free lance in doing makeup for others, but I am really scare of facing your problems. I still have a lot a lot to learn though. hahha
You are such an expert on this already
Ren- You're creative AND have a heart to help out in the community! You are an inspiration and offer some great advice! This was a great post to read! Great job on evening out her skin tone...i think she looks fabulous. You're right on older individuals being set in what they like and dislike! My mom, who is looks pretty got for a 60 yr old, let me do her makeup for an event. During the process she kept a mirror in front of her face to watch what I did. She would then ask for more of this or less of that and the look pretty much looked like she had done the makeup! ha oh well constructive criticism makes one learn and grow! Keep up the awesome work Ren!!
Your work turned out awesomely well. Sure there will be criticism no matter how well you do. But I'm so glad you took it all in stride.
And thanks for revealing that everything is all lollipops and gum drops.
Keep up your amazing work, love.
I think it's great you took that on and I wish they were more grateful but yeah, sometimes that's what you get. And it's always tough when you know they look great and everyone else thinks they look great, but the client herself doesn't agree b/c she has a different "aesthetic". oh well. the pic looks great though.
I'm going to orientation next week with the american cancer society next week for their Look Better, Feel Better program that helps cancer patients feel their best. I look forward to it!
Hey LS! I love reading your blog for inspiration even though I'm not a makeup artist. We just gotta keep pushing through life's obstacles even if we don't get the results we were looking for. I'm motivating myself to keep up with my freelance photography. It's a joy to me to see other successful artists!
I think her makeover was just fine. Her skin looks so much better, with blush or no blush. I got a couple of weeks ago some negative comments too from a clients sister. She told her sister,my client, while I was doing her makeup, to tell me not to pack on makeup so heavily to her face. I was there, listening to that girl lecturing me, INDIRECTLY, how to do makeup. I thought this was the rudest thing she could do. Well imagine that my client's skin was not the best, but she had no major blemishes or discoloration to cover. I used mac's face and body on her cuz it's light and definitively hard to "pack on" . Her sister still thought it was a lot, and she was really rudely commenting on an other client too, telling me that her foundation did not match her skin. I am 10000% sure it did.... I'm not the person to talk back usually, but this girl really pissed me off and I told her : why don't you do their makeup then if you know so much? I could see that my client was so embarrassed by her sisters comments. Well one thing's for sure, I won't ever book her if she's coming with her sister again. I won't let a teen who has no to minimal idea about makeup ruin my day. I just learned that there are girls, women, who think they know better your job, I ignore them and never book them again.

The world begins celebrating 2013
| Canberra, Australia
Sydney's skyline erupted with tons of exploding fireworks as revelers cheered in the new year from the city's crammed harbor in the world's first major celebration for 2013.
The enthusiastic welcome to 2013 was continuing on a grand scale across Asia.
Increasingly democratic Myanmar is having a public countdown for the first time. Jakarta plans a huge street party befitting Indonesia's powering economy.
The buoyant economies of the Asia-Pacific are prepared to party with renewed optimism despite the so-called fiscal cliff threatening to reverberate globally from the United States and the tattered economies of Europe.
Celebrations were planned around the world, with hundreds of thousands expected to fill Times Square in New York City to watch the drop of a Waterford crystal-studded ball.
Major cities across austerity-hit Europe were to burn off part of their battered budgets in spectacular fireworks displays, although some municipalities — including the Cypriot capital, Nicosia — canceled their celebrations in light of the economic crisis. Nicosia said 16,000 euros ($21,000) saved from the canceled event will be given to some 320 needy schoolchildren.
Sydney's balmy summer night was split by 7 tons of fireworks fired from roof tops and barges, many cascading from the Sydney Harbor Bridge, in a 6.6 million Australian dollar ($6.9 million) pyrotechnic extravaganza billed by organizers as the world's largest.
Eager revelers camped Sunday night to get the best vantage points.
In Hong Kong, this year's 12.5 million Hong Kong dollar ($1.6 million) fireworks display is said to be the biggest ever in the southern Chinese city. Police expected as many as 100,000 people to watch.
One day after dancing in the snow to celebrate the first anniversary of leader Kim Jong Un's ascension to supreme commander, North Koreans were preparing to mark the arrival of the new year, marked as "Juche 102" on North Korean calendars. Juche means self-reliance, the North Korean ideology of independence promoted by national founder Kim Il Sung, who was born 102 years ago. His grandson now rules North Korea.
In New Delhi, the festive mood was marred by the death Saturday of a young rape victim.
Hotels, clubs and residents' associations in the Indian capital decided to cancel planned festivities and asked people to light candles to express their solidarity with the victim whose plight sparked public rallies for women's safety.
"Let there be no New Year celebrations across the country. It will be a major tribute to the departed soul," said Praveen Khandelwal, secretary-general of the Confederation of All India Traders, an umbrella group of operators of shops and businesses across the country.
In a field in Myanmar's largest city, Yangon, workers were testing a giant digital countdown screen with the backdrop of the revered Shwedagon pagoda.
Arranged by local Forever Media group and Index Creative Village, a Thai event organizer, the celebration is the first public New Year countdown in Myanmar, a country ruled for almost five decades by military regimes that discouraged or banned big public gatherings.
"We are planning this public New Year event because we want residents of Yangon to enjoy the public countdown like in other countries," said Win Thura Hlaing, managing director of Forever Blossom company, a subsidiary of Forever Media.
With live music performances by celebrities, light shows, food stalls, fireworks and other activities, the countdown is expected to draw 50,000 people, Win Thura Hlaing said.
Jakarta's street party centers on a 7-kilometer (4-mile) thoroughfare closed to all traffic from nightfall until after midnight. Workers erected 16 large stages along the normally car-clogged, eight-lane highway through the heart of the city. Indonesia's booming economy is a rare bright spot amid global gloom and is bringing prosperity — or the hope of it — to Indonesians.
Spirits in the capital have been further raised by the election of a new, populist governor who is pledging to tackle the city's massive infrastructure problems.
The Sydney crowds were undiminished by Australian government warnings that the Washington deadlock on the U.S. debt crisis was partly to blame for a slowing Australian economy.
Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue hosted the event.
Florida tourist Melissa Sjostedt was among the thousands gathered near a southern pylon of the bridge. She said before the event that seeing the fireworks would fulfill an ambition that began a decade ago when she read about them in National Geographic magazine.
"Ever since that, I've always wanted to see this for real, live, in person," she said.
Despite a somber mood in the Philippines due to devastation from a recent typhoon, a key problem for authorities remained how to prevent revelers from setting off huge illegal firecrackers — including some nicknamed "Goodbye Philippines" and "Bin Laden" — that maim and injure hundreds of Filipinos each year, including many children.
A government scare tactic involving doctors displaying brutal-looking scalpels used for amputations for firecracker victims has not fully worked in the past so health officials came up with a novel idea: Go Gangnam style.
A government health official, Eric Tayag, donned the splashy outfit of South Korean star PSY and danced to his Youtube hit "Gangnam Style" video while preaching against the use of illegal firecrackers on TV, in schools and in public arenas.
"The campaign has become viral," Tayag said. "We've asked kids and adults to stay away from big firecrackers and just dance the Gangnam and they're doing it."
Hong Kong feng shui master Raymond Lo predicted 2013 would be less turbulent than 2012 because the Chinese New Year in February will usher in the year of the snake, bringing an end to the year of the dragon, which was associated with water. Water is one of the five elements in feng shui theory, the Chinese practice of arranging objects and choosing dates to improve luck.
"Water is fear. So that's why we have had so much turbulence especially in the winter months," such as doomsday prophecies, school shootings and concerns about the fiscal cliff, said Lo.
"But the good news is that the coming year of the snake is the first time that fire has come back since 2007. Fire actually is the opposite to water, fire is happiness. So therefore the year of the snake is a much more optimistic year. So you can see signs of economic recovery now," he added.
