Frugality vs. earning more
Some personal-finance bloggers urge one path; some prefer the other. Who's right?
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
One thing I love to do is to browse through random personal-finance blogs. I'll jump on links from one blog to another, just to see what a new voice will have to say. Doing this helps me get a pretty good idea of the various perspectives and ideas that are out there. It also helps me notice a few "groupings" of ideas out there as well.
For example, I notice that PF bloggers often are either wholeheartedly about frugality or they're all about entrepreneurship and earning more money. They'll write only about their ideas and sometimes even take swipes at other perspectives (I often see entrepreneurship blogs making fun of frugality).
Frankly, I find this completely silly.
There are times when frugality is the best option. There are times when focusing on increasing earnings is the best option. Most of the time, there's no reason not to try and do both.
For example, the effects of frugality are more immediate than the effects of building your income. When you make a choice to not buy something or to find a less expensive way of doing something, you start reaping the rewards from that choice immediately. That money goes from being spent to residing in your pocket right now. Thus, if you need immediate relief, frugality is the superior tactic.
On the other hand,frugality has a limit. There's only so much you can cut before you start having to make seriously life-altering choices.
At the same time, the ability to earn more is limitless. There are always potential avenues to earn more money. You can get a second job, start a business, ask for a raise, and so on. Unlike frugality, there is no cap. You can always earn more. You can't always cut more.
How much more?
However, the value of your actions isn't always clear when you're trying to earn more money. Yes, it's clear how much more you're going to earn if you take a second job, but what about a decision to start a business? What about raising your skill set? It's essentially impossible to interpret what those actions will earn for you. They might earn nothing. They might earn a lot. With frugality, you can almost always calculate how much you'll save. Post continues after video.
I tend to think that the biggest differences between frugality and increasing earnings come with your perspective and focus on life.
In my eyes, frugality shines best in the short term. If you're in a financial panic after, say, a major car repair, frugality will help you. If you're saving for a goal that's a year or two down the road, frugality will make that goal possible.
Similarly, frugality is superior when you need precise numbers. For example, if you're trying to figure out how to come up with a car payment, building your skill set for a better job is irrelevant. On the other hand, eating every meal at home can quickly provide the money you need for that car payment.
- Calculator: How much vehicle can you afford?
Increasing earnings shines over the long term. Building your skill set doesn't pay off today or tomorrow. Neither does networking, nor does starting your own business. These types of things need consistent effort and time to grow into earnings in your pocket, but the rewards they reap often greatly exceed those earned by frugality.
Increasing earnings is all about growth. Growth is often unpredictable, but the rewards of growth are tremendous, pushing you upward to new heights.
What's better? My take is that tactics from each side are useful in a successful life. Poor spending choices, for example, make it harder for you to make challenging decisions that can increase your earnings. It's very hard to make an entrepreneurial leap, after all, if you're not frugal.
The destination of financial independence is the same no matter which path you take.

Alexis & Ian's Designer Pad
House Tour
Name: Alexis Tompkins and Ian Mesey
Location: Inner Richmond, San Francisco, California
Size: 850 square feet
Years lived in: 1 year; Rented
As a designer, Alexis views her home as a platform for experimentation. It's also an opportunity for her and Ian to let their inner funkiness shine. They are art collectors and creative spirits, and have embraced the idea of accumulating meaningful decor that they love to shape their home. We first saw their apartment in 2012's Small Cool contest, and now we're back for more!
Enter House Tour
Alexis and her business partner CJ own Chroma Design Collective, a design company which offers art consultation, interior design and furniture/product design services. With a day job designing residential interiors and an education in art history, Alexis eats, sleeps and breathes design. While her works takes on many different forms, her home is a bit more kooky than most of her professional work. Ian's day job in the tech industry is balanced with a creative side as well. He performs in the pop-punk band Giggle Party, which is not your average band. It's a musical celebration that goes by the mantra 'Have fun. Live Hard. Dance. Repeat.' Did I mention they are the cutest, most fun and hilarious couple?
Together, Alexis and Ian have transformed their rental into a fabulous and inspiring home. Moving into a 1907 building was not all rainbows and butterflies, but they embraced the challenge. From re-wiring old fixtures to bold moves in the paint department, their effort has paid off tremendously!
Alexis and Ian are proof that good design doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. Mixing the old with the new and avoiding trends they don't already stand behind is their philosophy. Flea market finds and hand-me-downs are some of the treasures that tell their story. The amazing natural light and historic detailing of their apartment, paired with a rich color pallette, add an element of luxury. Add one-of-a-kind pieces and a wide range of art, and you have a space that will pique your interest at every turn.

Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: Inherited and collected, fun, eclectic, quirky, bright, patterned, and comfortable.
Inspiration: Art and fashion.
Favorite Element: The great light, the architectural detailing on the windows in the front room, and the windows in the bedroom overlooking the backyard. The proximity to Golden Gate Park (one block away!) is a convenient treat.
Biggest Challenge: In general, making a rental nice on a budget is a challenge. The kitchen and bathroom were in a sad state when we moved in. There were many deep cleanings before the paint went on the walls and the art went up.
What Friends Say: Friends say there is a lot to look at and take in. They like that we have filled our apartment with objects either made or given to us by the people we know and love.
Biggest Embarrassment: The kitchen was an especially scary space when we moved in: cigarette burned linoleum floor, bad IKEA cabinets, two different bad counter top materials. We have tried to conceal this, but it still needs a lot of work.
Proudest DIY: Ian got the sofa in by sawing off the legs and then reattaching them once in the space. He rewired the sconces in the bedroom, and we painted the apartment ourselves, and upholstered the headboard.
Biggest Indulgence: Artwork, rugs and Ian's bike.
Best Advice: 1. Start the decorating process with family members or friends that are getting rid of things. You never know what you might find for free from people who want to help you start your home. This way the items already have a personal history upon arrival in your home. They have a story that you can develop, and build upon.
2. Collect over time and learn to let go. Let your style evolve so your home can continue to reflect your personal style. Edit. Believe it or not this is editing for us. We used to hold on to everything, and when we moved to San Francisco from Texas we had to get rid of a lot of our prized possessions. It felt so good to start over and let go.
3. Try to avoid following trends, especially when it comes to expensive items such as furniture and rugs. We recently sold a lot of our trendy decorative accessories. Eventually we saw the items we wanted to be personal to us out and about in many stores and magazines, and this made them feel less special. Hunt for unique items, especially mementos of places you have been or experiences you have had, to serve as reminders of those good times in your home.
4. Change the layout and art placement often to give the space a fresh perspective. We do this quite often. It helps us to continue to appreciate the different things that our home can be, and keeps us from growing tired of the space.
5. Start decorating by collecting art. Then slowly acquire items that complement the art in your home. Get to know the artists you collect from, reach out and contact them. This adds a depth to your home and a personal element that few decorative items can lend to a space. By purchasing emerging art, you can support creative professionals in their struggle to express themselves. This adds a supportive, communal element to your home.

The most adorable thing in that apartment is them.
This is great. I wouldn't change a thing. We're renting, too, and embraced our pink and green tiles in the same way. I especially like both bedrooms. The monkey thing kind of freaks me out, but I couldn't stop look @ it.
These two are adorable! And look so happy.
I'm swooning over all the color and unique touches everywhere. Love your home. Also, I'm pretty certain I have the exact same trunk as the one in the bedroom with the fuchsia rug. I inherited mine as well and have left it as is. It is such a great piece and is in my bedroom as well.
Thank you for sharing!
hurray for the grandmothers they left nice pieces that still are being used.
love the yellow color on the walls.
nice couple!
fantastic place, but this was in the small cool contest last year? the place looks huge. i'd hardly consider it small.
Love your bold use of color, especially the paint in the entryway and the fuchsia rug. Such a charming and fun space, and so nice to see people using family heirlooms.
The house itself is SOLID in character and charm. LOVE the wall color choices, and the soft furnishings. But the modern art "SLANDERS" the architectural beauty of this home. Lose the fuchsia rug it gnaws with the entire house color themes.
I love love love all the sunlight from the skylights! brings out all the fun vibrant colors of the house. What is the color used for the stairwell and hallway? its gorge.
Good question: how do you do with a rug in the kitchen? It's an special material? Do it need special care? Or you're not as messy as I and that's the trick? I really would like to cover my dull tiles with something like it.
Love every inch of your home!
Love the art and the wall colors. Puts a smile on your face.
color, artwork, natural light, all of it...love!
Love it!!
Awesome Happy Socks!!!
Thanks! I actually have quite the collection, as my nephew picks out a few pairs every year for my birthday and Christmas.
The rug is jute, so it wears really well and really never stains (it has soaked up olive oil, wine, and orange juice without showing anything). We just have to vacuum it often to get rid of crumbs. - Ian
I love that dark blue.
Kate from Clear the Way
The area rug under the coffee table is nice.
how is this apartment only 850 sq ft? Awesome use of space without making it feel stuffy. Loved the tour :)
I've been waiting for a tour of this place since I saw it in the Small Cool Contest. Great job guys! Love it!
Beautifully done! I love that you really get a sense of their personalities.
Now does anyone know the make/model of the black leather chair in the living room? Cuz I experienced love at first sight.
Awesome tour! Your place is brimming with personality! Love all the colors you chose for the walls and of course all that lovely natural light streaming into your place. You have really done a nice job of mixing modern with some older furniture pieces. They work really well together.
You mention the artwork in the bedroom are photographs - even the black and white "nudes" flanking the mirror in what I *THINK* is the Master Bedroom? And the paint color in the Bedroom/Kitchen is one I wish *I* could have - living in a place that wont allow you to paint.
Just saw the "INK FIGURE PAINTINGS" listing in the bedroom. I'm bad for skimming instead of reading. Love them! Very traditional AND edgy.
What a lovely, uplifting, inspiring, breath of fresh air your home is. Thanks for sharing!
what a happy place,
love the blues on the wall and quirky art and leaded windows and wonderful light
Absolutely Beautiful Apartment! Great eye for color!
Such a joyful home. I want to pinch their cheeks!
That bright blue is phenomenal.
wow - great tour. adore all the rugs, especially the bright pink one, the pillows on the chairs, the chandeliers - all have so much character, color and texture, and don't feel like they are "on trend." lots of personality - also, the colors on the walls are fabulous and work so well together. unexpected and wonderful.
kind of funny that i love so much of this place, but a few of the more contemporary art pieces - not so much. thanks for sharing though - great place.
You have made a beautiful home for yourselves. It looks great!
Are the pastries real?
How can someone not like this place, there's so much character and it's very cohesive. You guys covered up the less than desirable kitchen marks very well, creating a focal point ( blue spoon/fork combo) and making the white cabinets pop against a dark background. Clever!! I do have to say that I was a bit surprised by the centrality of the TV in your living room -- openly and honestly there, but sort of...too obtrusive, visually speaking. Yet, functionality and comfort, not just eye popping colors/art are important to you. So perhaps the TV thing is just a pet-peeve of mine... Great home, thanks for sharing!
AWESOME in screaming jubilant capitals.I will take your 850 sqft in exchange for my 2700 sqft builder-grade ugly Shapell home in south bay.
What a lovely place! I'm in love with the teal entry/hallway. And I can't get over that "Bitten Cherry" painting over the guest bed, it looks like it's gonna drip juice on that bed in a second.
Wall colors are perfect and what an amazing art collection!
Wow, I'm joining the shocked club at that being only 850sqft! You've done and amazing job making it look spacious! I love all of your art; you have a beautiful home.
Love that pink rug in the guest room. Mind sharing your source?
Proof that even in a rental a little creativity and liberal use of colors can go a long way! Lovely home. Thanks for sharing.
Love every single thing about this apartment!! Majorly envious!
Wow! One of my favorite house tours yet!
Wonderful use of color and texture. Love all the unique pieces ... hard to pick a favorite! Really well done!
I have marble top dresser/console that is REALLY similar to the one in your living room on which the tv sits. I inherited mine from a great-grandmother too! Love it!
We've always struggled with the TV placement as well. Something we're working to figure out!
- Ian
Thanks! Kumi did a whole series of similar paintings, this was our favorite. I would recommend keeping an eye on her!
- Ian
Nice source list... got one for the purple bag on the chair? XD
What I like about this house is how it display the size of their creativity and not their wallet. Their use of forms and colors is inspiring. Their items of choice most can afford. I hate looking at home decor that's equivalent of looking at a million dollar car that one may never afford to have. Colors and forms we all have, this house inspires to harness them. This is art.
great tour! love the woodwork!
Love it... but this is not a small space!
That's awesome!! He has great taste! :)
i want to be friends with them! what an adorable couple and an amazing place. so much personality and creativity! love it! i think my favorite part is the pendant lamp above the dining room table. jealous!
You two are adorable. seriously. I do not use the word "adorable" ... ever.
I LOVE all of your light fixtures, great finds!
What impresses me most is the transformation in your home with respect to what we saw in the Small Cool Contest just a year ago. Last year's photos were packed with interest, but the overall feeling was "too much!" This year your authentic home has put its hand up. Paintings and colours and inspired pieces no longer jostle and shout for attention - and the new calm does NOT mean boring. The muted carpet in the bedroom is especially lovely - and the curtains!
I love all the blue walls!!!! I have recently discovered that blue -in all its shades- it's my favourite colour!!!! beautiful house, very classic but with quirky details. but I have to say that the monkey painting in the dining room looks scary to me.

I made this dish for Valentine's Day dinner. While my husband and I liked the onions, I thought they overpowered the filet, and the sauce was too dry for a cut of meat that has very little fat. I would consider using it on a New York or ribeye steak, but not on a filet. I also did not think it was festive enough for a romantic dinner.
Beef Fillets with Cognac-Onion Sauce

Good recipe. I added sliced fresh mushrooms to the recipe the first time I cooked it, which I would recommend. My second time making it, I still added mushrooms, used 1/2 cup beef broth (no cognac) and also added gorgonzola cheese to the top of each steak during the last 10 minutes it sets out of the oven. It was fabulous!!!
NRs2nite Posted: 02/16/11
Made this for a valentines dinner with another couple. I have to admit I was a little skeptical about cooking the steaks this way; we are HUGE grillers. The steaks came out perfectly!! The onions were delicious. We served with oven roasted asparagus and a salad-butter lettuce with a blue cheese vinagrette. DELISH! My friend made a flourless chocolate torte with raspberries and fresh whipped cream for dessert which was to die for. Had some onions left over...I think I'm going to make some french onion soup. (the only negative? my house smelled like onions the next day! Out came the candles!)

I used red wine instead of cognac and experienced no problems with "dry beef."

MADISON (WKOW) -- It's Border Battle weekend here in Madison, as the Minnesota Gophers come to town both on the ice and the hardwood.
The UW women's hockey team hosts No. 1, undefeated Minnesota Friday and Sunday.
The UW men's basketball team hosts the 12th-ranked Gophers Saturday afternoon.
The basketball game is a big one for many reasons; namely the fact that Wisconsin and Minnesota have lost two and three straight games, respectively. But it's also a big deal for the Minnesota natives wearing Badger red, who love to beat their hometown team.
"With me being from Minnesota, a lot of my friends and family look forward to this and I look forward to it, too," UW senior forward Jared Berggren said. "And we're on a bit of a losing streak and don't want this to keep going, so we gotta defend the home court and get back on the winning track."
"I'm obviously excited; I always love playing the Gophers. I try to play as well as I can against them because it's my home town, but at the same time, it's still a Big Ten game," senior forward Mike Bruesewitz said. "It's just another game; the hoop's still 10 feet, so it's not a big difference but obviously being a Minnesota guy, it's a little more special."
Tip-off for Saturday's is at 1 p.m. at the Kohl Center.

MADISON, WI (WSAU) The Wisconsin women scored only six points in the final nine minutes last night, as they lost at Virginia Tech 47-to-38 in their Big Ten-A-C-C Challenge. The Badgers were up by nine with 11:22 to play. But the Hokies then scored 11 unanswered points, as Wisconsin made a dismal 8-of-29 shots in the second half.
Virginia Tech outshot the Badgers 35-to-30 percent for the game, and the Hokies had a 36-30 rebounding edge. The 38 points were a season low for Wisconsin.
Morgan Paige scored 12, as the Badgers fell to 3-and-3 on the young season. Monet Tellier led all scorers with 17. She hit all nine of her free throws, as Virginia Tech improved to 3-and-2.
The Badgers played without their second-leading scorer, Taylor Wurtz. She did not make the trip due to a back injury. Wisconsin will host Alabama on Saturday. The Marquette women improved to 3-and-2 last night, with a 77-74 overtime victory at South Dakota State. The Golden Eagles led by eight at the half, but the Jackrabbits could have won the game had they not missed a three-point attempt at the end of regulation.
Marquette went up by six in the first three minutes of the overtime period, and never looked back. The Eagles outshot South Dakota State 45-to-40-percent, with a 38-33 rebounding advantage.
Arlesia Morse led Marquette with 23 points. Ashley Eide scored 21 for South Dakota State, which fell to 3-and-4. Marquette improved to 3-and-2, and will host Fordham on Saturday.
Tonight, the Marquette men play at Florida in their Big East-S-E-C Challenge. And the U-W Milwaukee women are at Illinois State. -11/29-

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Tennessee men's head basketball coach Bruce Pearl has been suspended for the first eight Southeastern Conference games of 2011 by conference Commissioner Mike Slive.
The decision was delivered to Pearl Thursday and made public by Tennessee and SEC officials Friday.
Tennessee Athletics Director Mike Hamilton said Friday Pearl and the school have known for a couple months that the commissioner was considering additional punishment against Pearl.
Slive's decision means Pearl will not be able to participate in team activities on the dates of the following games:
Pearl will not be allowed to participate in practices, meetings, pre-game and post-game activities, and the game itself on game day. Pearl said he understands Slive's decision to mean he can be involved in the preparation of games on other days during the suspension.
The violations that led to the suspension were discovered during an investigation by the NCAA into the Vols' men's basketball program.
The University of Tennessee received a letter of inquiry from NCAA officials on Sept. 10 informing the school that the basketball program was under investigation.
Pearl and his staff were accused of a variety of recruiting improprieties, including hosting recruits and their families at a party in his home, as well as misleading an NCAA investigation into the violations.
As a result, Tennessee penalized Pearl by docking $1.5 million from his pay and banning him from off-campus recruiting for a year.
"I am extremely disappointed in the nature of the violations involving Coach Pearl and the Tennessee men's basketball program," Slive is quoted in a statement released Friday. "The penalty applied to this circumstance is significant, which is consistent with the directive approved by the SEC membership in 2010 granting the Commissioner authority to act in such cases."
The school responded by issuing a joint statement from Chancellor Jimmy Cheek and Hamilton, saying, "While disappointed in the severity of Commissioner Slive's additional punishment, we respect that he is acting on the authority that the league's athletic directors, presidents, and chancellors granted him earlier this year to address matters of this nature."
Tennessee's statement went on to ask fans to rally behind Pearl, and his staff and team, this season.
Hamilton said Slive had considered suspending Pearl for the entire season, but decided an eight-game suspension was sufficient.
The steps taken by Tennessee and the SEC do not preclude further action by the NCAA, but Hamilton said he's hopeful the punishment already handed down will show the NCAA the problem has been sufficiently dealt with.
Hamilton said he doesn't expect a long wait before the NCAA issues its ruling on the matter.
Pearl has been the men's head basketball coach at Tennessee since March 2005.

He made a living as a Wall Street commodities clerk and trader (silver, gold and oil) since graduating from college in 1987. However, Stephen suffered a series of setbacks in 2002 and 2003 which resulted in him not being able to earn. Despite trying to get work (he was a hard worker all his life), nothing panned out.
Desperate to keep his wife and two young sons in the lifestyle they were accustomed to in Rockville Centre, New York, Stephen fell down to a place where he thought robbing banks was the only way he would be able to make enough money to do that.He was arrested on the day after Thanksgiving, 2003, after robbing 10 banks from July through November of that same year. He pled and received a 9 year sentence (a flat bid as it's called).
His story caprtured the attention of the media. It was documented by 48 Hours in a 2008 show called Stolen Dreams, a Who the Bleep Did I Marry episode in 2010 and as the debut show for the 2011 season of American Greed called Bank Robbing Broker.
In addition, his story appeared on the NTV network in Japan.

Two men look out the same prison bars, one sees mud, the other sees stars. Frederick Langbridge
Extremely ashamed and openly remorseful about his crimes, Stephen knew that the only way to survive in prison would be to sustain a positive attitude and make the best of it, if possible. Stephen became:
- A certified tutor
- President of the Holy Name Society
- A trainer with the Puppies Behind Bars program
- A Breaking Barriers facilitator
- An assistant to the Coordinating Chaplain and Catholic Chapel clerk
- A facilitator in the Fatherhood and Mentoring programs
In addition, he took several classes on fatherhood and parenting (The most devastating thing about prison was seeing his sons, now 15 and 11, just once a month) and became proficient in giving talks to other inmates.
He wrote, too. One of his stories (The World I Knew) has been published in a book: Relationships and Other Stuff (Volume Three) Stories from Men, available on Amazon.
Since his release in January of 2012, Stephen has been working in construction. He is also developing a series of talks to present to organizations, schools and programs who might be interested in how his experiences shaped his life.

Influenza is commonly known as "the flu." Every year, there are a number of different influenza viruses circulating the world and causing flu-like symptoms in people who become infected.
In a typical year, the seasonal flu affects between 5 and 20 percent of the population in the United States, and approximately 36,000 people die from complications of the flu. Most cases of the seasonal flu occur between late fall and early spring.

New details are emerging about the violent death of a Chesterfield mother. Mia Williams was stabbed to death in her Brandy Oakes home last week and her husband has been charged with the crime.
Tony Williams is being held in jail and their two children are staying with family.
At her visitation, Mia Williams' family said the line was so long, there was nowhere to park. The Army veteran, nurse, and mother of two had many friends.
On the day of her funeral, flowers sat outside Mia Williams home. But, nearly a week before when detectives arrived on scene, it was a much more gruesome scene. Court papers indicate Mia Williams was found with a knife still stuck in her chest.
They report that Mia's teenage daughter called 911 that night, telling dispatchers her mother was lying on the kitchen floor where police say she died.
Inside the kitchen, police collected several knives- one on the floor, on in a pot, and a knife block. Police say her husband killed her, drove off in a Mercedes trying to escape, and got hit by a car.
when Police searched the car, they reported finding a reddish brown substance on the interior and exterior of the car. They also listed collecting clothing, blood swabs, and a teddy bear.
Family members say they had no idea Mia was suffering from domestic violence, but court records show police have been to the home for issues before.
"If you're experiencing violence from the person you love the very most in the world, then that's a really hard thing to tell anyone," explained domestic violence prevention expert Angela Verdery with Safe Harbor.
After what happened to Mia, her family tells NBC12 they want to help other victims gain the courage to tell someone and seek help. They're asking that her story help someone else. If you know someone who needs help or if you are a domestic violence victim, call (804) 287-7877.
To learn more about Mia Williams, here is her obituary.

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - A crowd of 13,000 fans headed downtown for the Mud Hens double-header home opener.
The Hens lost both games in the double header, the first by a score of 1-0 and the second by a score of 7-3.
Highlights of the night included Grady Sizemore, the Indians' center fielder. He's been out almost a year from knee surgery and is working his way back to Cleveland on rehab assignments.
Rising star Andy Dirks was also a highlight. He was one of the final cuts at spring training with the Tigers.
Mud Hens Manager Phil Nevin got himself tossed before the night was over.
It was the 10th home opener at Fifth Third Field.

New Pulp Fiction: Dark Lips and Nails, with soft Glittery Lids
TGIF! How about a spot of drama for the weekend?
Uber-dark lips are incredibly dramatic, but can look sophisticated at the same time. Here are a few quick tips to wear super-dark lips AND nails without going all goth or emo.
- Wear a bright blush. Many people don't think to do this, but dark lips can really drain your face of color, and a glowing pink or peach on the cheeks adds some life and prettiness so the look isn't too severe or aging.
- Choose soft, cool colors for the lids. A very dark lip is almost a neutral shade in itself, so if you do a brown or taupe eye, the whole thing can look very monochromatic in a 90's sort of way. Not a bad look per se, but we're trying to keep things modern here.
- Add a little texture into your look. Whether it's a bit of sparkle or a metallic sheen to your lids, it helps to again liven up and lighten the look.
- If you're new to this, go for a creamy or glossy texture rather than a matte lip.
Tips: If you like dark lips a lot, invest in a black lip mix or lipstick instead of buying tons of dark colors. (I used OCC Tarred for this, but my favorite black lip product is actually MAC Pro lipmix in Black.) Just add varying amounts of black to change up some of your colors.
Tool: I used a synthetic concealer brush for this.
Alternative: You can use a regular beige or translucent primer as well, but make sure it sets slightly tacky or the glitter won't stick.
Tip: Use the same concealer brush you used earlier for cream shadow. The bit of product on it picks up loose glitter easier and won't give you as much fallout as a dry brush.
Gtitter: I used Lime Crime's Pisces glitter.
Product notes: I used VDL's Ready Action felt-tip line, and drew in the flick first, going from outside.
Mascara used: VDL Eye Bomb mascara. (I like to give my mascaras the full 2-3 months before opening anything else! This is a very good alternative to Lash Blast which isn't available in Asia, and it's quite buildable if you work slowly in coats. BUT the big brush makes it REAL hard to apply to the lower lashes, so be aware.)
Blush: MAC Peony Petal
For the lips, I did 2 variations. One a dark purple and the other blackened with a little lip tar, to complement my dark "dried-blood" nails (Lancôme Rouge Reglisse).

JP Enterprises Silent Captured Recoil Buffer Spring AR-15
Product #: 316607 JP Enterprises #: JPSCS-AR15
Product Information
The JP Silent Captured Recoil spring assembly is a self-contained unit that replaces the standard buffer and spring. The components of the assembly are highly polished for extremely smooth and quiet operation. The system is optimized for use with a JP Low mass bolt carrier and adjustable gas system, but also works with standard weight components. The system is designed to work with a carbine length buffer tube, and includes a spacer for use in A1/ A2 fixed stocks. The spring is also removable for custom tuning for your rifle. This captured recoil spring assembly is designed to eliminate the noise and vibration of the standard buffer, spring, and buffer tube. When used with a tuned gas system, this captured spring and buffer dramatically reduce the feel of the mechanical recoil of a standard system, making it feel more like a bolt gun. Technical Information:
- Captured Recoil Spring and Buffer System
- Designed for AR-15 rifle
- Fits Carbine or Fixed Stocks (with included spacer)

LiveSouthend United 1, Accrington Stanley 0, LIVE
This live event has finished
Thanks for following the action live from Roots Hall this afternoon. Tomorrow's Echo will be full of reports, reaction and action photographs. To play your part in the coverage send your views, via Twitter, to @cjphillips1982
Southend United striker Barry Corr: "The red card I got was soft but I was silly and after it happened I wanted to repay the lads and the fans for the support they have shown me.
"I obviously didn't want it but maybe the little break I had actually did me a bit of good because I had been playing a lot of games up front on my own and it might have been taking its toll a bit.
"But I've got three in four now which I'm delighted about and this win was massive for us because we wanted to get everything sorted and take the pressure off of the last two games.
"We could see the fans were getting frustrated and I think that made us frustrated too but we kept patient and we got there in the end."
Accrington Stanley manager James Beattie: "The lads were tremendous today, we frustrated Southend in the first half and quietened the crowd. I made a few changes to freshen it up a bit. I believe you need to at this stage of the season and it gives me a chance to take a closer look at some of my players.
"I'm not sure about the drop ball decision which led to Southend's goal. We agreed to play the ball back but the referee thought otherwise but that's gone now. The game is over and we need to focus on our remaining games.
The result is frustrating because our keeper only made one save all game and the other time he touched the ball he was picking it out of the net. We came here with a game plan and I thought it worked well for us.
"I'm 99.9 per cent confident we have secured our place in this division."
Southend United manager Phil Brown: "There was probably a bit of anxiety around this game and it's probably why I'm starting to show signs of age.
"The grey hairs are coming through more regularly and my blood pressure is probably starting to rise as well but it's all very close and very important too at this stage of the season.
"The result was exactly what we needed though and after our best result of the season at Rochdale on Friday I think getting three points here was probably our best grind of the season too.
"When we knew the top three were out of reach we focused on the play-offs and now we're there we will focus on trying to win them.
"We still have two league games to go against Fleetwood and Burton who have been up there all season.
"They will give us real tests but we want to take this winning mentality in to those games and maintain this momentum ahead of the play-offs.
"I'm also delighted with the clean sheet mentality we have at this football club now and that also needs to be in place for the play-offs."
Full time: Blues 1, Accrington 0. Only a 10 goal swing with Oxford can now stop Southend making the play-offs.
Four minutes of added on time to be played
Luke Prosser on for Barry Corr
Volley from Shay McCartan is well saved by Daniel Bentley who pushes the ball wide of the left post
Jamar Loza tees up Barry Corr but he scuffs shot wide of the left post from eight yards. Good chance that.
Second change for the visitors as Shay McCarrtan comes on for James Gray
Conor Clifford on for Jacob Murphy
My guess would be for Murphy
Conor Clifford about to come on
Accrington sub - Kayode Odejayi on for Kal Naismith
Jacob Murphy's cross to Kevan Hurst, back to Will Atkinson who teed up Barry Corr. He fired 12 yard shot in to bottom left hand corner of the net.
Blues 1, Accrington 0. Barry Corr
Still 0-0 at Roots Hall. Just gone past the hour mark.
Loza on for Michael Timlin
Jamar Loza getting ready to come on
I think Jamar Loza's pace could cause problems for Accrington. Would expect him to be the first change.
The second half is underway
Attendance: 5, 915 with 77 from Accrington
Blues 0, Accrington 0
Ryan Leonard heads a right wing cross from John White inches wide of the left post.
Sokolik back on after a change of shirt.
Jakub Sokolik currently receiving treatment for a cut on his face.
RT @CJPhillips1982: Half an hour gone. Here's my match report so far! http://t.co/lDu0zdnOhG— @DanCooperr 21 April 2014
20 minutes in, no shots and no goals.
Accrington have sun cream at the front of their bench!
15 minutes in and it's still 0-0 at Roots Hall. Not much going on so far.
York winning 1-0 against Bury
Scunthorpe go 1-0 up against Oxford.
Peter Murphy backed for a foul on Jacob Murphy
The game is underway
All the stars here today. Kevin Maher, Steve Tilson and Jeremy Kyle!
Kevan Hurst makes his 100th appearance for Southend today.
Accrington: Bettinelli, Murphy, Liddle, Joyce, Aldred, Winnard, Hatfield, Naismith, Mingola, Gray, Buxton
Subs: McCartan, Webber, Hunt, Windass, Odejayi, Atkinson & Bowerman
So if we all think Southend are going to lose, they will win. That's how it seems to be going at the moment!
Blues boss Phil Brown has named an unchanged starting line-up for this afternoon's game against Accrington Stanley at Roots Hall.
Centre back Jakub Sokolik and winger Kevan Hurst have both shaken off slight knocks to take their place in the side.
But there is one change on the bench with Conor Clifford coming in for Marc Laird.

Kevin Ware, one of the top unsigned basketball prospects in the nation, will have a better idea on which schools have the most interest in him beginning on Friday.
Friday (April 15) is the start of an NCAA "contact period" when college coaches can observe the ex-Tennessee basketball recruit working out at Rockdale County High School and also make in-home visits with the 6-foot-4 guard. It lasts for five days.
Who will be there? Louisville, South Carolina and Central Florida are good bets. There's also the possibility of representatives from UGA, Alabama, Georgetown and UCLA.
"Those are the schools that Kevin really likes, and they seem to like Kevin, too," the prospect's stepfather, Wesley Junior told the AJC on Wednesday night.
What about Georgia Tech? "Everybody keeps asking us about Georgia Tech, and we haven't heard anything from the new coach [Brian Gregory] or through the grapevine," Junior said. "I just don't know. I'm not sure. Maybe they haven't had the opportunity because of the 'dead period.' I guess if they show up on Friday, they are interested."
What about Georgia? Ware's family said they contacted Bulldogs coach Mark Fox and his staff. "They said they would love to have Kevin there," Junior said. "They think they could have one of the best backcourts in the country with Kevin and [Kentavious Caldwell-Pope]. Georgia really has an interest in getting Kevin there and seeing how they can develop him as a point guard."
What about Ware's former school, Tennessee? New Volunteers coach Cuonzo Martin has told Ware that his Tennessee scholarship is still good, according to Junior. However, Martin has been prevented from meeting in person with Ware because the team's previous staff under Bruce Pearl used up Tennessee's three off-campus visits earlier in the school year.
"It's unfortunate," Junior said. "We may have to go up there on an unofficial visit. We're waiting to see how it plays out. If meeting with Coach Martin in Tennessee is something that Kevin wants to do, then we'll make the ride there so he can get a good feel for everything."
Ware was actually scheduled to make an official visit to Central Florida this weekend, but postponed it because of the "contact period." Ware wants to meet and greet coaches on his home turf before setting up any of his final four official visits.
Ware is ranked as the nation's No. 56 player by Rivals. He averaged 19 points and 9 rebounds while leading Rockdale County to its first appearance in the state championship since 1987.

UGA and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would be a perfect fit Kevin. We would love to see another Georgia player stay here and make this program all that it can be under CMF.

Kevin, I went to Rockdale… let me assure you that UGA is where it's at

This kid could help take UGA basketball to another level.
April 14th, 2011

UGA please show up to the kids workout and show him we need him ,the potential pros has already left ,so here's our chance for the future,don't let him leave the state,you're looking for fan support that will be great of two home grown kids that would lead your backcourt,also others kids in GA,WILL SURELY FOLLOW.
April 14th, 2011

He will go to Louisville or Tech. If Brian Gregory shows no interest he will be in Louisville. These are the schools he has stated in the past that he loved the most. I think he is enjoying the recruiting thing again with all the attention he is getting.
Go Jackets!!
April 14th, 2011
7:22 am
Mr. Carvell—Thank you for a great up-date, regarding the re-recruiting of K-Ware. In my opinion, the school that signs him will be very pleased. Can't get enough of your recruiting info, Keep it coming !
April 14th, 2011
7:45 am
he won't be going to UGA.
April 14th, 2011
7:57 am
He'll be a cardinal. I can't stand Pitino, but good luck.
April 14th, 2011
8:06 am
Time for this kid to either poop or get off the pot. If he picks Tech great, if not life goes on. Gregory will make a big splash in recruiting next year anyway so this kid is just gravy if nothing else.
April 14th, 2011

Kid is going to L-Ville… count on it.
April 14th, 2011

Come on Kevin. Be a DAWG!!

Now since Leslie has declared, we have room for him on the UGA roster as a scholarship player.

I think I'll read the "udpate" later today or tomorrow. What a crock, and what a couple of hacks you guys are.
April 14th, 2011

Thinking the same as several posts above – kid is enjoying some attention in his re-recruitment – but losing Pearl at Tennessee was huge.
Thinking Louisville has the highest probability.
April 14th, 2011

I think my DAWGS have a great shot with Pearl gone!!!
April 14th, 2011

All signs point to UGA or Louisville. We would love to have you in Athens. I am also a Rockdale grad and you will love maintaining that Bulldog Pride in your college career at UGA.
I'm excited just thinking about a KW/KCP backcourt.
April 14th, 2011
9:19 am
Hope he goes to USC…they need his skill and he would be a big winner at USC because his skills would be developed for the NBA…come on Kevin…go to USC and be a GAMEC0CK!!
April 14th, 2011

UGA has nothing to offer him athletically or academically. He won't be going there. GT or Louisville would both be far better options
April 14th, 2011
9:52 am
After reading the comments, some of you are the Biggest Losers ever!!! I know Kevin and his family personally. They are some of the nicest most genuine people you could meet. Not to mention that Kevin is a nice, repectful, smart, kind, polite, intelligent and HUMBLE young man who has been BLESSED with an athletic gift and talent. You who say he's "enjoying" the attention he's getting with this recruiting process are TOTALLY missing it. You forget, he didn't go thru a recruiting process before because Tennessee reached out to him in his Sophomore year of high school. It's not about "enjoying" the attention. It's about Kevin making a decision about his future that is going to be the best fit for him as well as most beneficial to him regarding his academics and ball playing. So if it requires him to "get attention" while doing so, then SO BE IT!!! You all are not him or his parents and may not have any children of your own who were "in demand" by college coaches for their athleticism or academics, therefore you may not or do not know how important this is for them all. Stay away from the personal attacks and snide remarks and comment on the issue at hand…….Kevin and his family making the best decision for his collegiate future. I personally hope Kevin will stay in state so that his many hometown supporters will be able to continue supporting his family and him as he moves forward to the next stage of his life. Either way, in state or out, I will still support him. Congratulations Kevin on your accomplishments thus far and I pray there will be many more to come!!! (From a RCHS Alumni parent)

Come on Kevin, play in the ACC!! Maybe Gregory can land some of these guys who decommited to Dayton and get this kid to come to the ACC. Then its out of the cellar for Tech!
April 14th, 2011

Honor your original commitment. Cuonzo Martin is a class act.
April 14th, 2011
10:29 am
Jazzie – there is nothing wrong with enjoying the attention, its part of the world we live in and the media hype given potential athletes. While Id love to see him at UGA, he'll go where he feels is the best fit for him, and good luck to him.
. You sound like another one of those "I know so and so and….. you know what ? Nobody cares who you know or dont know.
I just heard the school bell ring, time for you to go back to class.
April 14th, 2011
10:33 am
He should not to UGA just to play with Caldwell-Pope. Caldwell-Pope will be a one and done and gone to the NBA.
He needs to pick a school and attend the school. Coaches may be gone after next year. No dependability there.
April 14th, 2011
10:39 am
Louisville will be it. WHy go to uga where they don't even care about basketball.
April 14th, 2011
10:58 am
@Jazzie Dee. Who knows if you really know him. If you do and it bothers you to hear others opinion you should not read the posts.
April 14th, 2011
11:07 am
If I were a betting man I'd have to put my money on Louisville. I mean really, if you were a kid wouldn't choose to play for Pitino over the others? Hope I'm wrong, he stays in state and signs with either UGA or Tech but I wouldn't bank on it.
April 14th, 2011
11:35 am
@Jazzie. You can't argue with idiots. I'm a UGA grad and would love to see Mr. Ware end up in the red and black. If he doesn't, it certainly doesn't have any impact on my personal life. Some of the people on these blogs seem to pin everything in their lives on what others do or don't do. Sad but true.

"UGA has nothing to offer him athletically or academically. He won't be going there. GT or Louisville would both be far better options"
Typical ignorant and lazy comment made by a mindless. UGA is a far superior school to Louisville academically. It's not even close really. UGA is ranked the 56 best school in the nation, where as Louisville isn't even ranked in Tier 1, which is about the top 150 schools.
April 14th, 2011
11:50 am
Kevin Ware first chose Tennessee because they FILLED a 19,000 seat arena for nearly every game. He is not going to UGA where they can't get close to 9,000 for ANY game.
April 14th, 2011
11:59 am
I imagine he will decide to go to a school that needs a 2-guard. Georgia Tech has 9 guards returning, assuming Shumpert doesn't leave, and Brian Oliver can switch back to guard full time with the addition of Julian Royal.
April 14th, 2011
12:10 pm
Boss…sorry to be so candid but your post has to be the most idiotic statement. You have no clue.
April 14th, 2011
12:23 pm
A piece in the local Thomasville paper today about signee Ray Drew. Drew apparently is very adept at the discus throw in track and field (ranked 2nd nationally according to the article).. It seems Drew intends throwing the discus at UGA in addition to football.
Not a real high profile revelation, but it does seem that Ray is very talented and gifted athletically, not to mention his spiritual development.
Passed along for whatever its worth.
April 14th, 2011
12:32 pm
Kevin, went to RCHS and played there. Still live in Conyers. Trust me, Tech is where its at. Get that degree and you can write your own ticket, post college basketball or not. Come to Atlanta!
Also thanks for your playing the last four years for Rockdale. Watching this years run was a lot of fun.
April 14th, 2011
12:51 pm
To clear the "blog" air…… (@ Bazooka and WhoCares): first of all, I don't owe anybody an explanation nor do I have to lie to you unknowns about WHO I know. My mentioning that I know the family was merely to set the stage of what kind of people they are and how this recruiting decision is weighing on them. The comments don't bother me………it's the idiots behind them!!! With that being said, some of your "blog" names speak for themselves by way of your comments!
@ dbc: Thanks! I TOTALLY agree!!!

Hey Boss, as a recent resident (moved 1 month ago) of Louisville the only thing I can say about the school is, its a commuter school. It's a nasty area of town. Yes, its close to Churchill Downs and the now defunct Six Flags 'Kentucky Kingdom' but its still not a nice campus by any means. Academically it is a very easy school to get in. It's about the same academcially as Kennesaw State. They have crazy fan support because they are the only thing in town. There is nothing else to do (professional sports) except go to a Bats game in the spring/summer or U of L basketball game during basketball season. Your just a UGA hater and it shows.

snore… get a life jazzie d. preaching to bloggers about what they should and should not say is inane.
April 14th, 2011
2:15 pm
Jazzie, nothing wrong with the 9:52 post. Well said. If it comes down to Louisville and UGA, UGA definitely the better campus and surrounding area. Also looks like there is an immediate opening for him in the backcourt.
April 14th, 2011
2:52 pm
Gregory if you dont show up, then go join hewitt–you would have to be an idiot not to at least show up!!!!
April 14th, 2011

I hope Fox is at this young man's high school because the dawgs need him BAD!
April 14th, 2011

If you think Kevin is going to UGA your crazy. My bet he is LOUISVILLE BOUND BABY! GO CARDS!
April 14th, 2011
4:30 pm
I heard that Rick Pitino lost some of his coaching staff i don't know if that will hurt Louisville or not but it might help UGA a little better.
April 14th, 2011
5:43 pm
I really hope that you guys are not alumni from any of these schools. Mainly because you miss all the points in choosing a school. Georgia Tech may show up, but i highly doubt that they will pursue Ware excessively. I think the strongest contenders are UGA and Louisville. UCLA has a shot if they really feel the need to recruit across country heavily. UGA is the academic choice of the two schools, and it is close to home. Not to mention with Caldwell-Pope in the back court, Ware has an opportunity to play with another elite Georgia recruit. Louisville has a stellar coaching staff, and their program is a storied one at that. Kevin Ware will make a well thought our decision, and of course you all will get back on here and bash him for whatever it is. This a kid with a talent, who never really got to be in the spot light nationally. Let him enjoy himself, and he will make the best choice for him.
That said, I am a UGA fan who is from Newton County, and I'd love to see a guy from close to home playing in red and black.
April 14th, 2011
5:44 pm
Jazzie Dee needs to lighten up. The kid wants to be a showboat, not that there's anything wrong with that if that's your style. After he signs, most people will move on to the next big recruit anyway.

April 14th, 2011

Ware isn't going to GT. Gregory has not even talked to him and that pretty much tells you we have no interest in going after him. GT is after josh richardson hard but Tenn may get him. I don't know if anyone very good will sign with GT in this signing period given the coaching change. Next year is important for gregory to recruit well. We need to get back at signing stud point guards. Given our history with great guards, it should be an easy sell! I have heard ware may end up back in knoxville. They are fixing to get ripped by the ncaa so i don't know why any player would go to UT. They may even get banned from postseason play for a bit.

Really Boss? Nothing to offer academically? Are you just that out in space?

At first I was in denial that 2D animation was dead thanks to the popularity of computer animated movies. But now it looks like even our favorite classic Disney characters have given up the fight and turned into flesh eating zombies.
I have to say, these Halloween costumes put a great spin on the traditional Disney costume theme.

Minimizing health impact of emergencies and disasters
The Western Pacific Region is prone to earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, cyclones, floods, landslides and droughts. Examples include the China Wenchuan Earthquake in May 2008, the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011 and typhoons and flooding disasters in the Philippines in 2009 and 2011. All resulted in enormous loss of life and serious damage and destruction to health infrastructure and health systems.
The Emergency and Humanitarian Action (EHA) programme in the Division of Health Security and Emergencies (DSE) in WHO's Western Pacific Regional Office works with Member States and partners to minimize the health impact of emergencies and disasters.
