Even though this has been talked about to death already, I thought I'd do another one of my post-hype reviews on the Too Faced Natural Matte Eyeshadow Palette. This was also my first time trying Too Faced eyeshadows. Actually it's my first Too Faced product at all besides their eyeshadow primer and, spoiler alert; it's definitely not going to be my last.
During a short visit to Gothenburg in July i accidentally ended up at the opening of a brand new Sephora store. We don't have Sephora in Norway, so each time I end up in one I think that itself is a great excuse to pick up a few things from brands I can't get at home. Surprisingly Too Faced has yet to launch in the Norwegian market, and with everybody always talking about the eyeshadow palettes I wanted to try one of them myself. I was tempted to get one of the Chocolate Bar's, but ended up getting the (then) quite new Natural Matte palette as the colours were a nice mix of super wearable, but also more interesting matte shades that I definitely didn't already have.
The palette is a nice sturdy metallic case that snaps shut. I much prefer this to Too Faced's older bulky cardboard packaging, which was one of the reasons I never ended up buying any of their palettes before. The size of the palette is now quite sleek, thin and compact. There's no space wasted on crappy brushes etc. which seems to be an overall sweeping trend for most makeup brands, and one I definitely am happy to see as I never use any of them anyway.
The eyeshadows are of course all matte and there's a nice range of colours. You have the typical brown shades, but also some more original shades of purple, red and orange. I definitely don't have that many different coloured mattes and so have found this to be a really nice addition to my collection, where most of my "fun colours" are usually shimmery. The shadows are all pretty warm, so if you find cool-toned shadows suit you better, then I'd probably skip this.
The shadows themselves are really good quality. They are a bit powdery as I dip my brush in, but as long as I make sure to tap it off I haven't had any problems with fallout. They also blend so nicely and are a bit buildable, not super. Not a problem though, as there's a nice range of deeper mattes in the palette, so if you really want to add some intensity just in the crease you can always just add a deeper shade. This works really well as they blend into each other very well without them blending into each other too much and becoming just one eyeshadow, like so many mattes can tend to do.
Lasting power is good, nothing more or less than my other eyeshadows. I also have to say I'm impressed by how long the shadows themselves are lasting. I've been using Strapless a lot, almost every week at least once since getting it. There's still barely a dip. I've been looking around for a dupe of it as I don't want to buy the whole palette again once it's out, but really don't want to be without it, but by the looks of things, it will be years before that will ever become a problem.
Overall a really great palette. I've been reaching for it almost constantly and really have to make myself use other things most of the time. Unless you have every matte colour in the world already I think this will be a very nice addition to any collection. The shadows perform really well, the colours are super wearable and ones you can use everyday, but still a bit more exciting than just different shades of brown. It's also not all that expensive, relatively speaking. I couldn't be more happy with it and I am now super tempted to buy more Too Faced eyeshadow palettes, I definitely have my eye on the new Peanut Butter & Jelly palette!

ABCs "Lost" has done more than any other media before it to enable interaction around a brand on multiple platforms. It is the first truly pan-media experience, and that holds lessons for content producers everywhere.
"Lost" is everywhere. Its a television show that was born in a traditional analog world but came of age in a digital world where the very idea of "television" is giving way to the idea of ubiquitous, platform-agnostic video.
But the shows presence extends beyond just video. Viewers interact with the brand on multiple platforms. There are Web sites devoted to translating the whispers heard on the show. People track the literary works mentioned. ABC has even created fake Web sites for elements of the show, like for the band Driveshaft.
This is mind-boggling for someone who, like me, has yet to get over the surprise of seeing Tootie co-star on "Different Strokes."
Today, your involvement with a show never stops.
Thats Why Lost Is All About You
"Lost" gives people what they want on multiple levels. At a very basic, nontechnology level, "Lost" confirms what most people suspect about the real world, or at least wish were true: Everything is about you. Like the characters in Pynchons "The Crying of Lot 49," the characters of "Lost" are navigating a world where every minute detail—from their friends to their enemies to nature—is connected in a matrix of meaning for them. Everything is a clue. Everything has a place in context. There are no accidental encounters.
Not only that, but the creators of "Lost" are actively engaged with their viewers through online forums. If you have friends involved with these forums, youve probably heard them (lord knows I have) talk about how the creators of "Lost" really care about what they, the viewers, have to say.
This very basic emotional connection is even more important in an online world, where the power of personalization makes "Planet Me" all the more possible. Media companies are trying hard to create online experiences that go beyond "related articles" and, instead, tantalize you with a truly contextual experience.
Given enough time, publishing giants like Time Warner will be able to link their entire catalog of content through a structured taxonomy. You may read a story about Wal-Mart, and at your fingertips will be every mention of Wal-Mart back to 1947. In every media format. Ever.

Glimpsing Infinity and Other Musings
4 comments:
Thank you so much for your inspiring thoughts. So is catching the movement, the movement in drawing, the second of taking a picture, the instant of feeling, is all this the aproval for infinity or is it the knowing of the "next step", whatever it might be?ReplyDelete
And is it all a question of daring to create..."finally" infinity? Out of the "everything" that has already been and the everything that will come an form itself as new...Thank you for this kind of exchange.Its very giving to me.Best greetings from Germany, TaijaReplies
Greetings Taija! Thanks so much for your thoughts and kind words. You've posed some interesting questions. Just to respond quickly here, I might say, it's all of these things you mention. I think the notion of infinity is actually difficult to grasp, but what prompted me to write the post was the idea of being in the middle of the creative process...which for me, is drawing, and realizing that with any mark I make, out of my intuition or with more forethought, it is just one out of an infinite set of choices. As I mentioned, "it could all be otherwise". I find myself in a most humble place as I contemplate these things....the dizzying array of possibility can either paralyze us or set us free. I find that I feel free and in awe of the vastness. Thank you again for contributing to the exchange! Cheers to you in Germany!Delete

Fresh air is something that we take for granted.
But if you have a health condition where fresh air is a necessity – you would be more conscious of the air you breathe, wouldn't you? And what step would you take to make sure you were breathing fresh air?
The answer is simple – you would make sure you have an air purifier.
What is an air purifier, you ask? An air purifier is a machine that removes contaminants, which includes but is not limited to: dust, allergens, pet dander, and second-hand smoke. It removes these contaminants by filtering (or cleaning) the air as it runs through the purifier.

BRITAIN'S growth prospects have received a body blow after the powerhouse services sector expanded at its weakest pace for more than two years last month.
Economists said yesterday that overall output in the current third quarter was likely to rise by just 0.5 per cent, down from the 0.7 per cent recorded in the three months to June.
The latest Markit/Cips purchasing managers' index (PMI) for the services sector, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the UK economy, showed a reading of 55.6 for August – above the 50 level that indicates growth, but down on July's result of 57.4. It marks the worst performance since May 2013, driven by a sharp slowdown in new business.
Markit chief economist Chris Williamson said the services data, which does not encompass the retail sector, combined with PMI snapshots for the construction and manufacturing sectors over the past few days, pointed to weaker growth overall in the economy in the three months to September.
He said signs of easing growth in the wider economy, together with waning price pressures for firms, renewed expectations that interest rates will remain on hold until the "global economic picture becomes clearer".
The survey came as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) cautioned that China's slowdown, volatile financial markets and tumbling raw material prices have raised the risks to global economic growth. Its warning comes ahead of a meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bankers in Turkey today and tomorrow.
The pound briefly took a hit after the worse-than-expected services sector data, falling almost a cent to just under $1.53 and a cent lower to €1.36. Figures earlier this week showed a drop in the PMI reading for the manufacturing sector as exports fell for the fifth month in a row, blamed on the strength of the pound, weak sales in the eurozone and the slowdown in China.
Housebuilding helped drive a steady performance from the construction sector, although it was still lower than forecast.
Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight, the forecasting consultancy, said: "The overall weaker set of August purchasing managers' surveys for services, manufacturing and construction will likely fuel belief that the Bank of England will not be raising interest rates until well into 2016."
The disappointing services figures came after the slowest increase in new business across the sector since April 2013.
Employment continued to rise in August and picked up pace from July's recent low, but firms increased staffing at the second-weakest pace since March 2014.
Cost pressures for services sector firms also eased for the third month running in August as the rate of inflation hit its weakest since January, thanks largely to falling fuel prices.
Despite this, services businesses increased the prices they charge customers, but only fractionally, according to the survey.
Analysts at Barclays Research noted: "The downward surprise in [the] PMI release points to continued moderation and underscores our more cautious macro view that economic activity is to abate over the coming months, with GDP growth easing to around 0.5 per cent, quarter-on-quarter, in Q3 and Q4."
China's cooling economy has led to sharp falls in share prices in recent weeks and triggered broader concerns about world growth.

These Alligators have been ripping it up in South Beach. The producers of Alligators Gone Wild were thrilled with the footage they got. While very secretive about the details, they did tell themweekly.ca that they got more than the usual wet t-shirt contest. Lets just say there is an antelope, a dead carp and three alligators in compromising positons.

Every once in a while we take a step back from shooting weddings and family sessions to do some creative collaborations. When Heather from The Lemon Tree Salon & Studio (http://thelemontree.ca/) asked if we were interested in participating in a grunge shoot I couldn't help but jump at the chance! The incredibly talented and fantastic team of stylists had full creative discretion with their models and it clearly showed by how much fun everyone had. Don't believe me? Check out all the hair colours on our models!
The concept that Heather came up with was "future grunge" and they pulled it off quite well. The models owned the look and rocked it. It's worth noting that several pounds of glitter were used in the making of these photos with Keshia haha!
With a big personality and even bigger green hair to match how could the photos not look amazing of Jaymie? It really isn't every day that we purposely use locations that are actually quite gross, then let alone have models willing to shoot there as well. Heather found a couple gems for us and the shoot had such great chemistry. So, uhm, would one of you be willing to jump in that cart for a photo? It was like battle royal to see who could get in there first!
Chloe may look serious and sultry in her photos, but her quick smile and sophisticated personality maker her such a great time to work with. I can't even imagine how long it took the stylists to do all those highlights and complicated hair design.
Jaydn stunned us all with how much she looks like the singer SIA. Gorgeous. So talented and completely committed to the role of model. The amazing thing is she could pull off this look on a daily basis!
We really would like to thank the amazing stylists at The Lemon Tree for including me in this shoot. Heather, Brett, Paige, Lindsay and Melissa are the best!

|Cell Line Description:
|CHO-Anti-Human TSHR scFv stable cell line is clonally-derived from a CHO cell line, which has been transfected with an anti-human TSHR scFv gene to allow expression of the scFv. It is an example of a cell line transfected using our proprietary CBTGS gene screening and amplification system.
|The TSH receptor, a G protein coupled seven transmembrane receptor, is present on the basal surface of thyroid follicular cells. It is involved in regulating thyrocyte cell growth and function by mediating thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) action. The TSH receptor is also the target autoantigen in autoimmune thyroid diseases. Autoantibodies to the TSH receptor that stimulate cAMP production in thyrocyte cells, called thyroid stimulating antibodies, are responsible for the hyperthyroidism of Graves" Disease. Another class of autoantibodies that block the binding of TSH to the TSH receptor, thyroid blocking antibodies, may mediate the hypothyroidism associated with Hashimoto"s thyroiditis, primary myxoedema, and neonatal hypothyroidism. Studies indicate that these autoantibodies interact primarily with the extracellular region of the TSH receptor. TSH receptor expression has been reported in adipose, adrenal, brain, eye, heart, kidney, skin, thymus, and thyroid. ESTs have been isolated from brain, placenta, and thyroid libraries.

Believe it or not, all of these cards that you are about to see come from the land of dime box glory. Now I know what Nick feels like as he flips through boxes on boxes of cards.
Pops here is raring to go, so let's get down to it. I just love that he's wearing the great gold-ringed cap in this shot, too. Grabbing this 1982 Stargell for just a dime was a no-brainer if I ever saw one. Aside from my Mazeroski project, I tend to keep an eye out for Clemente, Stargell, and most of the other 60's and 70's Pirates. Mazeroski's the only one I'm really trying to hunt down a complete collection of cards issued when he was active, though, as I don't want to overlap too terribly with my father's collection.
Speaking of 70's Pirates, I snagged both of these with the intent of trying to pick up a couple autographs. Well, I have several Tekulve's that are options for TTM hunting, but I just couldn't pass up these glasses.
Rennie Stennett's 7-for-7 game has become one of my favorite little oddities since I discovered his 1979 Topps card in the garage sale boxes I bought this spring. I'm hoping to get his autograph as well. I have no affinity or aversion to Bill Buckner whatsoever, but I just couldn't pass up that 'stache for a dime.
I think we can all agree that it's all the weird and wacky things that we come across in baseball (and card collecting) that give the game that extra appeal that we all love. I first heard about Herb Washington via the great literary journal Hobart, who leads off each April with a baseball-centric issue.I've decided to go for the trifecta here, though I expect to pay more than a dime for the O-Pee-Chee and the mini. Of course the holy grail of a Herb Washington collection would include his autograph as well.
That piece is a wonderful blur of creative fiction, but when you read actual accounts of Washington's baseball experience, it is just begging to be fact. As a result, I'd been looking out for Herb's famous "pinch runner" card for a while.
As far as I can tell, this seems to be the only card Herb was ever issued - certainly the only Topps card. Given his status as one of the cult legends of baseball, I figured he'd have been in someone's set of oddities. If you know any other Washington cards, please tell me.

One of my favorite baseball personalities as a kid was Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams. I mean, come on - his nickname was Wild Thing, what more does a kid need? It didn't hurt that he had a short stint with my beloved Astros, either.
Sure, he gave up the homer to Joe Carter that gave Canada back-to-back World Series titles. Sure, he said some dumb stuff at his kid's little league game and told a kid to plunk another one (ok, not cool). There was just something about watching him fling his entire self wildly off the rubber that was entrancing.
Now, on to some more eccentric pitchers. Everyone knows the stories behind Bill "Spaceman" Lee and Dock Ellis and the LSD No-No - or at least they should. (Go do some reading! It won't hurt, I promise). I'd already started a fledgling collection of Dock Ellis cards, and a few Bill Lee's have fluttered my way lately, so when I dug up a couple more at the shop I figured it was time to officially start collections for both of them. The only problem is that means buying cards of Dock in those dreaded Yankee pinstripes. Ugh.
After getting back into collecting last year, one set that really underwhelmed me was 1976 Topps. I'm convinced now that was due to some poor color selections on the Astros cards - pink and orange bars at the bottom made for some, well, less than appealing options. Since flipping through a few stacks of these, I've really come around on this set, and these two cards of Don Baylor and ol' Scrap Iron are testaments to how great it can look. Check out those stirrups and Adidas cleats on Garner.
Here are two more that I just had to pick up from the '76 set. Bochte looks like a straight up ladykiller on this card, and seeing as he's a former Astro whose autograph I'll be hunting down, I thought I'd grab this as a second card to get signed. Dave Duncan is known to be one of those legendary pitching gurus, a man who turned good pitchers into dominators, and a (recently retired I believe) coach whose autograph I'd also like to get - especially seeing as how I pulled his '64 rookie from that garage sale purchase. Two more dimes well spent.
We started the post off with a Hall of Famer, how's about we end with a pair of HoF managers? It should be a crime to be able to pick up a Sparky for just ten cents - but I'm not complaining. The expression on Tony's face is just cracking me up, too. I really like the layout of the 1983 Topps cards, even the managers.
All in all, one hell of a pickup from Cards-R-Fun. I've got one more Nashville post on the way, but that one will focus on a game and not cards - a little something different that I think you'll all enjoy seeing.

The Koha community is currently undergoing a spasm, with a company apparently forking the code.
As a result a bunch of people are looking at where the community should go from here and how it should be led. In particular the idea of a not-for-profit foundation has been floated and is to be discussed at a meeting early tomorrow morning .
My thoughts on this issue are pretty simple:
- A not-for-profit is a fabulous idea
- Reusing one of the existing software not-for-profit (Apache, Software in the Public Interest, etc) introduces a layer of non-library complexity. Libraries are have a long history with consortia, but tend to very much flock together with their own kind, I can see them being leary of a non-library entity.
- A clear description of a forward-looking plan written in plain language that everyone can understand is vital to communicate the vision of the community, particularly to those currently on the fringes

An Editorial by Jack Bennett
(The views expressed are those of the author).
Some people have brought up the fact that they won't vote if the eventual nominee was not the person they wanted. I just want to put something in perspective concerning the Supreme Court.
Justice Scalia's seat is vacant. Ginsberg is 82 years old. Kennedy is 79 and Breyer is 77. Thomas is 67. The data shows that the average age of a Supreme Court retirement or death occurs after 75. These are 5 vacancies that will likely come up over the next 4-8 years. The next President will have the power to potentially create a 7-2 Supreme Court skewed in their ideology. Think about that: 7-2 !
If the next President appoints 5 young justices, it will guarantee control of the Supreme Court
for an entire generation. And 7-2 decisions will hold up much more over time than 5-4 decisions which are viewed as lacking in mandate.
Hillary has made it clear she will use the Supreme Court to go after the 2nd Amendment.
She has literally said that the Supreme Court was wrong in its Heller decision stating that the Court should overturn and remove "the right to keep and bear arms." Period.
Anyone and Everyone who is saying that they won't vote for one candidate or the other if they are the GOP nominee, please realize this. Please hear this!!
If Hillary Clinton wins and gets to make these appointments, you likely will never see another conservative victory at the Supreme Court level for the rest of your life. Ever.
Donald Trump has been selected as the GOP Nominee! Remember Romney?
Over three million conservatives who had voted for McCain did not cast a vote for Romney (for whatever reason). And the result was four additional years of Obama.
And one final thought, Hillary's already on record as saying that her buddy Obama "would make a great Supreme Court Justice".
Did you just hear that last sentence? Now are you scared? You should be. One vote does count..
Remember, all that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men and women to stand by and do nothing.

The latest Goodreads giveaway ARC, Seduced by Innocence, this pedometer geek read was written by the husband and wife team of Kimberly Kinrade and Dmytry Karpov. Writing under Karpov Kinrade (or in some versions Alex Lux–as it has recently changed, but I digress), this is the first in The Seduced Saga, a paranormal romance series. Here's the extended review.
Seduced by Innocence
By Karpov Kinrade
Published by Daring Books, 2015
This is the first of three books that make up this paranormal romance. This one is based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and it is told through the perspective of three characters: Rose, Derek, and Blake, a young man in love with Rose. Rose and Derek are featured as the star-crossed lovers. Rose is a witch, the daughter of the leader of her coven; Derek is a shape-shifting Druid. Like the aforementioned play, unbeknownst to them, there is some sort of feud between their families.
It becomes an all-out war when Derek's younger brother, Dean, is destroyed by the powerful touch of Rose. Despite the fact that this event happened as a protective response to his attack on her mother, Rose is still shaken as she fears the power of her touch, the power to destroy, the power to kill.
Just as Rose is shaken, so too is Derek. After several years away, because of the attack, he regretfully returns home, back to his family's fold. Yet, there is a continued streak of independence in him, and he returns to his old job as a martial arts trainer rather than go into the family business.
There he meets Rose and her friend Ocean. After the attack on their coven, both young women wish to learn how to defend themselves. When they meet, however, there is an instant connection between Rose and Derek that can't be denied.
Going against her mother's wishes, Rose agrees to see Derek again. With Ocean's help, they secretly meet. While their love may be innocent, the behind-the-scenes machinations of her (and his) family and friends is anything but, and this could be their downfall.
Like all of Shakespeare's tragedies, there is strong emotion and betrayals throughout the tale. Each chapter title is based on from a quote from the play, which is fully attributed.
Although the story can stand on its own, there is a cliff-hanger ending that begs to complete the story of the young lovers, leaving this reader wondering what next for these lovers and their respective families.
A few typos and misused words can be found in the text, but overall, for those who enjoy paranormal romances, they should be able to overlook them. A teaser chapter of the next book in the series, Seduced by Pain, was included. If the author remains true to the pattern set in Seduced by Innocence, from the chapter title and its quote, this one will be based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream.
Perhaps this reader needs to brush up on her Shakespeare.

8 Great Tips for Business Travelers
Please note that I receive compensation for many links on this blog. American Express and other banks are advertising partners of this site. Read my Advertiser Disclosure policy to learn more.
There's a lot to remember, juggle and take care of when you're traveling for business. Here are 8 great tips for making it a little smoother.
1. Use mobile apps and good travel tool websites. Ever heard the phrase, "there's an app for that"? There is, and a lot of them can help you stay organized while on the road. Tripit, XE Currency, Evernote are just a few. Lounge Review is a good website, as is AwardWallet.
2. Don't choose your hotel solely on cost. Even when you've got an innovative product and top-notch staff you're right to be conscious of cost. Don't let it cloud your judgement though. You might be tempted to book that inexpensive hotel just a few miles from the airport because you found a good rate at an online travel website. It's possible the airport shuttle doesn't run 24 hours though, if the walls are too thin you won't get much sleep, and if the hotel wifi is terrible you won't be able to get any work done. Some hotels that are a little more expensive have great locations right across the street from a good restaurant to grab a quick lunch at and streets with easy shopping. Others might be far away from everything. Weigh your hotel options carefully before choosing one.
3. Bring every connector you might need. You don't want to end up in a cold sweat 15 minutes before a presentation because the AV guy doesn't have the exact same cable that worked perfectly at the last hotel. Many hotels have an unadvertised basket or box full of cables and connectors left behind by previous guests that they are happy to let you root through for a loaner. It is often located near the front desk. If the AV crew can't find what you need, try asking the front desk before running to a store yourself. This includes common laptop and phone chargers too.
4. Ask your HR department about attraction discounts. Savvy business travelers often try to combine a business trip with fun in the city (if there is time). Many companies have partnerships with businesses that in turn offer you discounts for your patronage. With a trip to Monterey CA you could squeeze in a visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium using discounted tickets purchased through your company. Show tickets, passes to theme parks and restaurants are just a few more examples.
5. Back up your computer files and have all electronics charged before you leave. It's easy to charge everything the night before a trip, and it'll be one less thing to worry about once you're on the road. If something happens to your phone you can provide an easy digital copy, if your tablet or laptop is lost/stolen and the files are backed up somewhere externally like another hard drive or Apple's Time Machine the process of recreating them all will be simple rather than a nightmare.
6. Use Uber instead of a Taxi. If you aren't using Uber yet, you're paying too much for short hops around town plus typically arriving in an old, possibly smelly cab that doesn't always take credit cards. I have yet to be disappointed with an Uber vehicle, and if you haven't tried Uber yet you can download the free iPhone app here, Android app here, then get your first ride free by using my link here to see what all the fuss is about.
7. Make sure to use the best credit card. For example, if you take a client out to lunch on the first Friday of the month, you should use your Chase Sapphire Preferred card for 3x Ultimate Rewards points (until 2016 when the benefit is discontinued). If you're headed overseas, starting August 11, 2015 Starwood's co-branded credit cards won't incur foreign transaction fees so you should use those at Starwood properties.
8. Bring your smile. People respond positively to someone with a smile, and even when you're stuck in a tough situation you can get much further with kindness than a frown. Chances are the people you're dealing with are used to hearing complaints and a good attitude will go a long way.

I grew up with Lego even thou I lived in a small town in Philippines. My father brought one pail of these small colorful boxes and my imagination went overboard while playing. Those were the days when me and my brother would stay all day long playing lego. We created different kind of things and made funny stories along with it.
When I heard that there's Legoland in Malaysia I was excited to be there. Fortunately my roommate was able to retrieve free tickets from a friend. Ohmy! I considered those free damn tickets a gift from heaven. I decided to go to Legoland rain or shine, even if I'm going alone. Me and my drama. I told my brother about it and he was ecstatic to know that a certain place like that really exist. This is of course is not the first legoland ever built, we just never ponder that someday a place using our childhood toys will sprung to life.
A friend of mine join my craze and we went to Legoland with all smiles. In an hour we arrived at our destination. It was a sunny day, a perfect day have some fun. We went immediately to the very first ride we laid our eyes on.

Baby, it's cold outside… And if your name is Nelson Cruz, Stephen Drew, Kendrys Morales, Ervin Santana or Ubaldo Jimenez, the hot stove isn't providing any warmth these days.
All the big name free agents, especially those tied to draft pick compensation, are off the table, swimming in mega-deals, and smiling ear to ear. However, that's not the case for the some of the riskier, mediocre options that are still flapping in the wind. Lets call them the Fab Five…
There are plenty of teams that like the five remaining draft-pick-guys, but it's quite obvious that nobody loves them. Cruz and Morales want a lot more than they are probably worth and come with sizable risk, but throw in the sacrificial draft pick and they've become persona non grata.
For a very intensive look into this phenomenon, I urge you to read this article by Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports who sizes up the situation quite well. Regarding the market for the Fab Five, Passan sums it up like this:
"Of the teams with protected draft picks, Houston and Miami aren't likely to go anywhere near the five, the Chicago White Sox and Cubs are very unlikely to do the same, Minnesota is focusing on non-compensation starters, Philadelphia and Colorado may be tapped financially, and the Mets aren't inclined to go after Drew or Morales, even if both are a fit. Which leaves the Mariners, who will almost certainly sign a pitcher – though it could be Masahiro Tanaka – and the Blue Jays, who aren't the sort to make a huge splash."
Regarding Nelson Cruz in particular, Jeff Sullivan of FanGraphs takes it one step further and writes this:
"It's almost impossible to see Cruz getting his money. There's simply no need for that sort of desperation. It's also almost impossible to see Cruz signing as a significant upgrade to a team. The fact of the matter is that, right-handed power be damned, Cruz isn't particularly valuable, and every team has guys projected to be worth at least about a win or so. So when Cruz does sign, it'll either be for very little money, or it'll be a questionable move for a modest upgrade or a non-upgrade. There's not a single team in baseball right now that ought to see Nelson Cruz as a difference-maker. Because, quite simply, Nelson Cruz isn't a difference-maker. He's a half-decent aging outfielder who's going to cost millions and a draft pick. You won't find many bigger gaps between name value and real value. "
When the offseason first began, I actually thought Cruz would be a player the Mets could roll the dice on because of his power. However, as time went on and you started to hear and read about some of his contract demands, I quickly soured on him. Turning down that $14.1 million qualifying offer from the Rangers may be something Cruz will regret for a very long time.
As for the Mets, it's still kind of quiet. We're all waiting around to see who this bat the O's are rumored to be trading for actually is. Some college kid from West Virginia (who loves Netflix and a girl named Mariah), created some buzz last night when he tweeted that a source told him it was Ike that the Orioles were trading for.
But you know what I always say about these blog and twitter generated rumors… They are almost always wrong and always smell more like a cheap attention-grab by someone who wants and needs attention. So until something from a true reliable source pops up, it's pretty much dead out there today.
The fact is I'm really hoping we do deal Ike because once the Mets clear his $4 million off the books, I'm thinking we'll see a domino effect that will include a plethora of small minor league deals as well as one more significant addition for the Amazins. There's still some work to be done…
Anyway, all of you have a great day and try to stay warm… We have some great original articles coming up later today…

The overall market is on the downside and hence it's not wise to hold a trade for too long. Any rebound seen is for shorting purpose for the blue chips and a quick scalp on the pennies. I missed my chance to short when I was too focused on the pennies last week and like I said, I have to admit I forgotten my big picture game plan. Hence, coming Monday, when I do a LIVE Trading, I will be more focused on the bigger picture outlook.
Nevertheless, I received a Whatsapp thank you message yesterday for a Swee Hong trade that a student took himself. Reading the message really made my day and I know what I had been sharing and coaching was all correct. I am looking forward for Monday's LIVE Trading for some good opportunities now. Planning and preparing my game plan over the weekend.

Sometimes we meet someone unplanned and suddenly that moment becomes valuable. Such is the moment when I meet Mr. Randip Dhingra who has just started his new venture – Twist, a family wine and dine restaurant at Cyber Hub. I am sure that his name needs no introduction as people know him well for his fine taste in wine.
As Indian culture is amalgamating itself with wine culture of foreign inherent so I buzz with him that if a greenhorn likes to have a wine then what would Randip suggest to him. He smiles first, then start to talk. In India we are young about the taste buds of wine. We are mostly teaching ourselves with blogs, magazines and talk but when something is about the taste then taste and experience. Wine is all about taste. It is all about opening yourself to share and experience the wine, its fine aroma, its taste, its color and the pleasure of learning something new.
Wine is simple. It is complex. It is simple in taste but complex in experiencing. Your taste bud has not experienced the wine earlier so you have no idea what it is all about. You first sip and then try to identify the flavor you find there. People mostly enjoy the fruity taste as it is familiar to them.
Gradually by repeating the same wine your palate learns the taste and now you know one wine. This is the time to try another wine and then another. When you try you will learn a new kind of wine. Try this time any dry or crispy. This will help you to differentiate between the taste and here starts your new experience with wine.
It is always advisable to start with the low cost wine. It will help you learn a lot. When you start with low budget your pocket will definitely smile and you will feel good as you experiment with some economical wines.
In India, tax on wine is too high so it is good to start with some Indian brands. Now India is also making its presence in the first world. It is also developing its market and exporting a lot. Here in India we have some vineyards too so it is a fun to visit them and see how wine is made and which grapes are available and which types of wine are possible to grow here.
It also sets you to think about the factors that constitute a good wine; I mean the soil, the climate, and the grapes varieties. You will gradually find you have enriched yourself with a lot of information.
As your information and the inclination towards wine increases soon you will love to taste more. Your taste buds are the best teacher who supports you to learn faster.
There are some countries whose wine one must taste, especially France. French wine is expensive but when you have started with the economical wine then you will definitely relish the expensive ones and soon learn the difference.
Indeed wine is very vast area that requires a lot of patience, time and money. Here in India there are some institutes that offer good level of information but it is always good to develop your own taste by tasting.

Hello all my friends!
Before I post my May tag, I would just love to mention that my April tag was chosen as a winner...! It was such fun to get a message from Belinda Basson on FB whilst I was away for the South African Scrapping Convention! Now I await my parcel containing my CC101 apron together with my gift from Mario...! But for now, on to May's tag...
Although there are many techniques and elements on this tag, I think Tim wanted to focus on the faux porcelain paper flowers that he created by dipping his flowers into melted UTEE.
Now for this tag, the only element I had on hand was the hanger clip! There for I had to improvise all the other techniques and elements. I am quiet happy with the out come of my card, but will give the melted UTEE another go...Have a look at my card and judge yourselves whether I came close to the Masters tag...lol!
Not having sewing paper tissue, I used the next best thing, which was craft paper with sewing images on. I applied Picket Fence Stains and various colours of Distress Stains. I glued and crinkled a piece of tissue wrap onto the craft paper. The ribbon was a baby pink coloured ribbon that I also stained with Distress Stains.
I used a dress form image from our local Celeb8 which I coloured with Pitch Black and Ginger Alcohol Inks. I also dusted some Pewter Perfect Pearls onto it...The red stamped image is from the Adverts Stamps.
Not having a melting pot, I wet the paper flowers with water, a tip from Belinda Basson, then dipped it into the UTEE and heated it. I repeated this three times. Personally I think I over killed them a little, twice would have been sufficient! My flowers were placed in an image of a beautiful clay pot!
That's it for today. I am still enjoying learning all the new techniques and ideas! Tomorrow I will have to work on Linda's new challenge at Studio L3...until a next time...I am saying Good Night!

Remember the Sidekick Slide? Yeah, another BGR exclusive. Danger's incremental Sidekick upgrade has hit the FCC, complete with device photos, user manual, specs, and more. This is the first Sidekick not manufactured by Sharp, and it's also the first Sidekick to do away with the "swivel screen". Couple additions to the Sidekick Slide are a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio, 1.3 megapixel camera, updated OS, and of course, the RAZR-like Motorola design. Launch date is currently not confirmed, but if you want to try and put pieces together, we've been told the Sidekick Slide might be seeing a mid-October T-Mobile UK launch. That would have to include a US release too, right? Check out some more shots after the jump.

When her father leaves the Church, Margaret Hale is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the North of England. Initially repulsed by the ugliness of her new surroundings in the industrial town of Milton, Margaret becomes aware of the poverty and suffering of local mill workers and develops a passionate sense of social justice. In "North and South", Gaskell skillfully fused individual feeling with social concern and in Margaret Hale created one of the most original heroines of Victorian literature.
Conversing in a mausoleum with the dead, an eccentric recluse is tugged back into the world by a pair of ghostly lovers bearing an extraordinary gift—the final chance for his own happiness. When challenged by a faithless wife and aided by a talking raven, the lives of the living and the dead may be renewed by courage and passion, but only if not belatedly. Told with an elegiac wisdom, this delightful tale of magic and otherworldly love is a timeless work of fantasy imbued with hope and wonder.

"His feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives"
The Mount of Olives was the place where numerous events of Bible History occurred. Many of the most important people of the Bible walked upon it sooner or later.
King David fled over the Mount of Olives to escape from Absalom's rebellion (2 Samuel 15:30). After King Solomon became corrupt, he built pagan "high places" there (1 Kings 11:7). Later, King Josiah destroyed Solomon's idolatrous altars, by which time it had become known as the Hill of Corruption (2 Kings 23:13-14). Ezekiel had his vision of The Lord and the flying cherubim above it (Ezekiel 11:22-23). The people gathered olive branches there for the first Feast of Tabernacles after their return from The Babylonian Exile (Nehemiah 8:15).
Jesus regularly went up onto the Mount of Olives (Luke 22:39). He often traveled over it on His way to Bethany to visit His friend Lazarus. His famous Olivet prophecy is named after it (Matthew 24:1-51). The Triumphal Entry of Jesus riding on a Donkey and her colt into Jerusalem took place over and down the Mount of Olives (Luke 19:28-44). Jesus prayed with His disciples there just before His arrest That Fateful Night (Luke 22:39-46). Jesus was arrested there, during which Peter struck the servant of the high priest with a sword and cut off his ear (Luke 22:49-51). Jesus appeared to the disciples on the Mount of Olives after His Resurrection, and He ascended into heaven from there (Acts 1:1-12).
The Mount of Olives will be "ground zero" for Christ's return:
"And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect [see "To Meet The Lord In The Air"] from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other" (Matthew 24:30-31 KJV)
Fact Finder: Jesus Christ made one of His most detailed prophecies about the time of His return while on the Mount of Olives. How did He describe world conditions at His return?

Faux brick panels, siding and columns are one of the best ways to bring the classic, design-friendly look of brick to your decorating or renovation project. Available in a wide range of colors and textures, brick veneer provides a myriad of design possibilities indoors and out. All of the products on this page will ensure a smooth, professional-looking finish and the amazing color and feel of real brick.
While everyone will think you hired a professional mason, but what they'll really be seeing is the work of high-density polyurethane. This very durable material is known to withstand a wide range of extreme climate conditions: wind, moisture, harsh cold and scorching sun, and all other forms of wear and tear. It doesn't attract insects or pests either, and will continue to look great without fading, cracking or peeling for many years to come.
Polyurethane is also incredibly lightweight, so it's infinitely more cost-efficient to ship and easy to install than real brick. You won't need to hire a contractor or a brick mason. With our simple, step-by-step instructions and tools you likely already own, you can be sure to have the panels or columns installed within hours, and without headaches or muscle strain. Simply put, you can't go wrong with this project!
Imagine the crisp look of brick in your family room, kitchen or den. Expand its uses by applying it as a design accent on a foundation, chimney, porch or fireplace. The possibilities are practically endless, creating a solid, memorable and charming result. Try it out.

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910-1991) was recognised as the mind incarnation of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. He combined the lifestyle of a renunciant yogi with immense knowledge of all the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism and was a beacon for the Buddhist teachings in the wake of the Tibetan diaspora. He is known for his compassionate and tireless dedication to teaching, he was the root guru of innumerable tulkus and lamas, including the fourteenth Dalai Lama (b.1935), as well Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche. For more about him, please visit: www.shechen.org
Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche was born in Bhutan in 1961 and was recognised as the main incarnation of Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro (1894-1959). From early childhood, he has studied with some of the greatest contemporary masters, particularly H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
From a young age, Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche has been active in preserving the Buddhist teachings, establishing places of learning and practice, supporting practitioners, publishing books, and teaching all over the world. Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche supervises his traditional seat of Dzongsar Monastery and its retreat centres in Eastern Tibet, as well as his colleges in India and Bhutan. He has also established communities in Australia, North America, and the Far East under the umbrella of Siddhartha's Intent. He is also the founder and president of Khyentse Foundation, a non-profit organization that has created a system of patronage supporting institutions and individuals engaged in the study and practice of Buddha's vision of wisdom and compassion through five key projects: Scholarships, Endowment for Monastic Education, Translation and Publication Projects, Buddhist Education Programs and Academic Endowments.

This is the final podcast on citizen engagement – 41 episodes taking us from the initial moments when each citizen lays out their terms, through exercises of better understanding, and through to an enhanced ability to listen and compromise. And then it all comes down to this: action. Participatory democracy is about the world we want, not the one we must accept because we can't reach agreement. For this kind of engagement to work, politicians must act upon what citizens have agreed upon, and citizens must be willing to act out those decisions responsibly.

5 Things I Love about William Woods!
Choosing your college is important and you have to find the best fit for you as a person. Here are some things I love about William Woods:
1.Small Campus
Being on a small campus can be really irritating because you think everybody knows your business. But it really isn't! The woods is small enough that you can walk past pretty much anybody and say hi. What more do you want walking to an 8 am class and someone walking by saying hi to help make your day.
2. Short Walks
We are lucky that our campus is basically in one big circle, the longest walk to class is no longer than 5 minutes (depending on how fast you walk).
3. Friendly Faculty and Professors
This was a big fear of mine being an international student. I was anxious to see what my professors would be like. From my freshman year to now my final senior semester, all professors and faculty have been extremely kind and helpful. My first encounter entering William Woods being scared and afraid was with Dr. Venita Mitchell. She helped me overcome me being homesick and adjusting to life here and I will forever be grateful.
4. Dulany Library
The library's basement is the best place to lock yourself away from civilization and just concentrate on reading a book or doing your homework. It is like a little maze, you could get lose but it is the most peaceful place.
5. Junior Lake
The Lake is a perfect getaway to relax either sunbathing in the hot weather or kayaking with friends. You can relax at the dock, play sand volleyball or just chill and watch.
Let me know if you want to know all the other things I love about WWU!
Have a great rest of your week!
The REAL Advantages of Freshman Advantage
We just returned from Thanksgiving break and I was fortunate enough to go home to Colorado and spend it with my family this year. While I was home, my younger sister AliBeth turned 18 and also received her second college acceptance! This really got me thinking about my senior year of high school and the summer leading up to college.
When I visited William Woods during the equestrian visit weekend, we went to a session on Freshman Advantage. My mom was immediately excited about it and I signed up that day.
At the time, the advantages seemed to be:
- getting used to being away from home,
- spending time learning the campus,
- and getting some classes out of the way.
Not only did I get all of that and them some, there were many other benefits like knowing people before orientation and making many fun memories. Looking back now as a senior, I still reap the rewards of spending three weeks at William Woods during the summer.
Lasting Friendships. One of my biggest reasons to be thankful for Freshman Advantage is the friendships I have with the people who went through it with me. Hallie is one of my very best friends, sorority sister, and biology partner who I met through Freshman Advantage.
I also have people across campus who are in the same organizations as I am who became friends with me because we met at FA. It was so nice to come to campus knowing many other students in my class, but I had no idea that those people would still go to lunch with me and help me out with my coursework four years later.
Professor Relationships. I really enjoyed the classes I took at Freshman Advantage, and it wasn't really the content that got me hooked. Yes history is important but it really isn't my cup of tea. The teachers I had during Freshman Advantage made me excited to learn. Although I never took another class with Dr. Carrie McCray or Shawn Hull, I have stayed in contact with both of them. In fact, Dr. McCray and I catch up regularly and she offers me great advice about what I should do with my future!
Class Credit. If I had to choose, getting 7 credits out of the way was the greatest advantage of FA. It set me up so that I had several common studies requirements taken care of, and I did not have to take up room in my schedule.
I just registered for my final semester of college (talk about crazy!) and I was able to sign up for things that I just want to take. They aren't requirements for my major or any of my minors, but I've always wanted to take a tack construction class--because I got those common studies out of the way, I have plenty of room to take the things that I want to take!
Whether you live in Missouri or even another country, I strongly suggest you look for programs like Freshman Advantage during your college search. It certainly made a big difference in my college experience.
If you've already got your heart set on William Woods, don't hesitate to sign up! It was one of the greatest decisions my family made. I only hope that wherever my sister ends up she gets the same opportunity!
Thanks for reading!
Spring is around the corner (well nearly)
The past week has been a roller coaster for me. Advising for spring semester has come around, which means that I have to accept it will be my last semester here at The Woods! Thank gosh for Dr. Cavaiani, a communication professor. Being a senior, I have taken most of the classes I need to graduate, and I was in a little bit of a pickle for what classes I should take in the spring.
I am striving to work in the sports communication field in my future and Dr. Cav was the right person to talk to. He gave me class options that I could take in the spring to help me get where I want to be in life.
One of the classes is Radio Broadcasting. I've had some experience with this, but not enough to include it in the portfolio that I have been building to show employers when I seek a job. William Woods is lucky to have an actual radio station on campus, and most of the shows are produced by students! It streams online as well as broadcasts, so you can listen online if you want!
Julia Wells is also a communications major and taking Radio Broadcasting with me, which lead us to seize an opportunity--we are creating our own sports talk show! I'm so excited!
Julia started at the same time as I did. She is one of my closest friends on campus. Julia was always there to give me rides and help me get in to the American swing of things!
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I ended the advising process on a high. After all the stress of deciding what to do for my last semester, I figured it out from the help of my professors and my family!
