Production Lines of the Apocalypse
A question that keeps getting asked in one form or another this off season is "just how good would DeRosa be as the everyday right fielder?" There are very specific ways of looking at it, and very broad ones. Because nothing beats Thanksgiving like heavy reading on a fringe Cubs blog, and since my preference is to post this large body of work on the day in which the least amount of people are likely to read it, I thought I'd take a look at the Cubs position players and how they compare to the league averages. However, to justify this beast of a post later on, I will link back to it with great regularity.
First and foremost, let's talk about our concept of League Average. In this incredibly boring article, we will be comparing the Cubs position players against the League Average at their position between wiping tears of shame from our cheeks because of the great sadness we feel at having absolutely nothing better to do. Call it dedication.
Offensively in 2008, it's pretty safe to say that the Cubs were better than league average. I mean, they were awesome. Compare them with all of Major League Baseball:
League: .264 AVG, 300 2B, 30 3B, 163 HR, 753 R, .333 OBP, .749 OPS
Cubs: .278 AVG, 329 2B, 21 3B, 184 HR, 855 R, .354 OBP, .797 OPS
It's obvious that the Cubs were above average overall. That would also be a strikingly obvious reason as to why they won 97 games last year. But let's take it one step further and break it down by position:
At catcher:
League: .255 AVG, 31 2B, 1 3B, 15 HR, 74 RBI, .324 OBP, .713 OPS
Cubs: .284 AVG, 37 2B, 2 3B, 26 HR, 93 RBI, .353 OBP, .836 OPS
Overall OPS: 2nd in MLB
In other words, the Cubs were at a decisive offensive plus at catcher in '08. Taking it a step further, it's probably not debatable to say that the Cubs were above average defensively at catcher, too.
At first base:
League: .271 AVG, 35 2B, 2 3B, 26 HR, 98 RBI, .352 OBP, .816 OPS
Cubs: .296 AVG, 47 2B, 3 3B, 23 HR, 97 RBI, .365 OBP, .845 OPS
Overall OPS: 12th in MLB
While Derrek wasn't one of the worst first basemen in the game, it's pretty safe to say he's no longer among the baseball elite. Furthermore, defensively Lee was off his game in '08. He might be an average defender, but he's probably not above average.
At second base:
League: .275 AVG, 36 2B, 4 3B, 13 HR, 72 RBI, .338 OBP, .747 OPS
Cubs: .300 AVG, 39 2B, 2 3B, 17 HR, 91 RBI, .378 OBP, .836 OPS
Overall OPS: 4th in MLB
The DeRosa-Fontenot Duo dramatically outperformed the league average in '08 although DeRo falls a little short of being considered one of the elite at his position. Defensively, the Cubs are probably average-at-best at second base, and possibly just a little below average.
At third base:
League: .265 AVG, 35 2B, 2 3B, 21 HR, 86 RBI, .335 OBP, .771 OPS
Cubs: .283 AVG, 48 2B, 1 3B, 32 HR, 129 RBI, .372 OBP, .891 OPS
Overall OPS: 3rd in MLB
Aramis Ramirez and his bat is incredibly important to the Cubs. Defensively, he's average, if not slightly above average. A-Ram is an elite third baseman and is tremendously valuable to the Cubs offense at this point. He should be the #3 hitter next year.
At shortstop:
League: .275 AVG, 34 2B, 5 3B, 11 HR, 63 RBI, .326 OBP, .714 OPS
Cubs: .303 AVG, 26 2B, 4 2B, 2 HR, 53 RBI, .379 OBP, .744 OPS
Overall OPS: 11th in MLB
Ryan Theriot pretty well falls into the "average" range. And for the point I'm building toward, his numbers would for the most part be "below average" if he played at second base. Theriot outhit many of baseball's shortstops and he outwalked them, but he was out-slugged and out-defended - in fact, Theriot would fall onto the "below average" side of the defensive coin. If he lands next year somewhere between his '07 and '08 numbers, he probably won't hurt the team, but he won't be a real asset, either.
At left field:
League: .269 AVG, 34 2B, 4 3B, 22 HR, 86 RBI, .343 OBP, .785 OPS
Cubs: .282 AVG, 43 2B, 2 3B, 35 HR, 109 RBI, .348 OBP, .856 OPS
Overall OPS: 8th in MLB
These numbers are actually a little low for the Cubs. If Soriano stays healthy over a full season - and he's bound to sooner or later - then left field becomes an even bigger asset for Chicago. Defensively, Soriano is plus and minus. He has a plus arm and will lead the league in assists if he doesn't get hurt, but he's got a minus glove that leads to errors and heartbreak. The Cubs are above average at left field with a healthy Sori.
At center field:
League: .267 AVG, 33 2B, 5 3B, 18 HR, 77 RBI, .333 OBP, .752 OPS
Cubs: .290 AVG, 37 2B, 4 3B, 23 HR, 101 RBI, .374 OBP, .858 OPS
Overall OPS: 3rd in MLB
Strange how center field has become a home for more homerun hitters these days. On average, your center fielder is expected to yield more offensive bounty than your catcher, second baseman, and shortstop. It's also strange just how much of a positive CF was for the Cubs in '08. Reed Johnson and Jim Edmonds made for strange bedfellows and delivered unto the Cubs the Secret Ingredient to their recipe of success, even though they were defensively below average. CF is unlikely to be a position of strength for the Cubs in '09, depending heavily on the sophomore season of Kosuke Fukudome.
At right field:
League: .270 AVG, 37 2B, 4 3B, 21 HR, 87 RBI, .347 OBP, .797 OPS
Cubs: .250 AVG, 30 2B, 2 3B, 15 HR, 71 RBI, .350 OBP, .731 OPS
Overall OPS: 26th in MLB
Ah, at last, the one position in which the Cubs were decisively below average. Fukudome started out with a singing bat, but he ended the year with a howling fanbase - even though he has above average defensive skills.
So, what's the point of this? Well, I'm going to reiterate a few key figures for you:
Consider the following:
League: .275 AVG, 36 2B, 4 3B, 13 HR, 72 RBI, .338 OBP, .747 OPS
Cubs: .303 AVG, 26 2B, 4 2B, 2 HR, 53 RBI, .379 OBP, .744 OPS
This is what happens if the Cubs move Theriot to second base - if we're lucky. Theriot as a second baseman hits fewer doubles, fewer homers, drives in way fewer RBI, and has a below-average OPS.
League: .270 AVG, 37 2B, 4 3B, 21 HR, 87 RBI, .347 OBP, .797 OPS
Cubs: .300 AVG, 39 2B, 2 3B, 17 HR, 91 RBI, .378 OBP, .836 OPS
This is what happens if we're lucky if the Cubs move DeRosa to right field permanently. The Cubs almost turn a minus into a plus. But what if, rather than bat .285 with 21 HR, 87 RBI, and an OPS of .857, DeRosa reverts to his career averages of .279 with 13 homeruns, 64 RBI, and an OPS of .770? The Cubs would remain below average offensively in RF, and they'd now also be below average defensively.
League: .267 AVG, 33 2B, 5 3B, 18 HR, 77 RBI, .333 OBP, .752 OPS
Cubs: .250 AVG, 30 2B, 2 3B, 15 HR, 71 RBI, .350 OBP, .731 OPS
This is how Fukudome compares to the rest of the league's CFers. Overall, it's close enough that he'd almost fall into the "average" range, but not quite. The Cubs would still be losing a lot of offense from 2008.
In other words, if the Cubs sign Furcal, move Theriot to second base, and put DeRosa in RF, they go from this figure:
Above Average: 5, Average: 2, Below Average: 1
to this figure:
Above Average: 4, Average: 1, Below Average: 3
That's not the direction you want your team to head in if they are interested in staying competitive.
Therefore, I'm going to suggest that if Theriot starts on the Cubs next year, he should do it as a shortstop. I'm going to suggest that if DeRosa starts on the Cubs next year, he should do it as a second baseman. And if the Cubs want to improve offensively, then they really need to hope for the following things to happen
- An entirely healthy season by Soriano - as the cleanup hitter
- A Fukuseason to remember
- A Geovany Soto immune to the sophomore slump
- A new right fielder who hits that damn ball real good
The Cubs cannot, nor should they count on Theriot to put up similar-or-better numbers (which isn't to say that he'd be a disappointment if "only" ended up playing near his career averages), nor can the Cubs count on DeRosa to shatter all expectations again (which doesn't mean he'll be a disappointment if he only bats .280 and hits 13 or 14 homeruns). It's just that they need to look elsewhere to find next year's offensive surprises, simple as that.
As fans, we need to recognize that the abilities of our team's players have limitations, and we're only setting ourselves up for disappointment if we expect consecutive seasons of miracles. Jim Hendry doesn't need to - nor will he - blow up the roster to fix what's wrong with the team, but shifting a couple of guys around and giving more starting time to the journeyman backup infielder who had huge numbers won't cut it either. The Cubs need to find a way to get a Bradley, or acquire some lefty bats via trade. Otherwise, they're at risk of headed from Very Good to Very Average.
Great research.
There's a lot of interesting information here that we can look at; well done to you, sir. At the same time, there are (of course) a couple of issues I would point out.
First, you've gotta stop comparing RBIs. As this blog pointed out in the Lee/Dawson comparison, that stat has much more to do with where one hits in the lineup, and the effectiveness of the hitters around a guy, than the actual player himself.
There are a lot of other stats out there - runs created, WPA, etc. - that would be better to look at, but it's really hard to pick one. At least, it is for me. So I'm not gonna go there. (For the record, I tried yanking some RCs from baseball reference, but once I got them into a post they looked like crap and didn't really reveal a whole lot so screw it.)
Next, I think your points about how Theriot would stack up against the rest of the league at 2B instead of short are interesting. But all the metrics you use are of one type - offensive.
The main benefit I'd point out in moving Theriot to second? Shorter throws to first, so the arm isn't as big a deal. Let's be honest - the kid gets on base, even when his batting average is down. He had more BBs than Ks. He's going to contribute offensively (albeit in his own special way, i.e. SLG < OBP). But moving him from SS to 2B lessens his defensive liability.
With DeRosa, you do acknowledge the drop off that would happen defensively, so that's good. The only problem is, if Fukudome will in fact be moved to CF, it appears that the Cubs will be at a disadvantage in right field defensively regardless of who we end up signing to play there. So, take that as a given.
From there, as you also point out, if Mark were to replicate last year's numbers in 2009 we'd be all set in right field. But rather than worry about the possibility of regressing to career average, I'd look at the past three years. The Marcel projection system at FanGraphs.com is based on just that information, and projects DeRosa at an OPS of .800. That'd give us about an average right fielder. Fine.
On top of all this, however, is a need to find some at-bats for Mike Fontenot, who right now plays one position - the one that we're (or, I'm) already trying to give to someone else.
The Cubs have a problem that people haven't really been talking about because we're so worried about signing a right fielder. We've got three guys who, if they were to be given starting roles, SHOULD be playing at second base, in Fontenot, Theriot, and DeRosa.
The situation should be resolved by moving one of those three players in a trade, to upgrade elsewhere on the field. This should be made even easier to do by the fact that all three guys had outstanding years in 2008.
Kurt, I may have just changed stances on the idea of trading Mark DeRosa. He'd open up payroll, and if we sign a right fielder, we have the personnel in house to play the spots he did in 2008. Fontenot's a lefty so we need him, and I'd really rather keep Theriot at short than spend big bucks on a replacement.
Now I'll be spending my Thanksgiving holiday figuring out a place to move Mark DeRosa. Thanks, GROTA! And Happy Turkey Day.
I'm glad you're open to some
I'm glad you're open to some possibilities.
The question at hand is really "will the Cubs be better with DeRosa in RF," and the answer stays "no" because the Cubs are going to just shift around the guys they currently have minus the offensive production they got out of CF last year.
In other words, no matter how you cut it, even if everybody out there matches their production - and projections - from last year, they're not a better team offensively. And if Theriot and DeRosa both return to the mean - as they should - then the Cubs are losing offense, even if Soriano stays healthy.
In a really roundabout way, what Hendry is REALLY trying to do is replace the offense the Cubs will have lost from the departure of Jim Edmonds. Offensively, the Cubs had the 3rd best output from center field of any team in baseball last year, which is just plain shocking.
So I guess the shorthand version of what I was getting at is that moving people around and hoping for them to maintain their momentum probably won't win the Cubs a championship. Finding the way to grab a free agent or two, if at all possible, would help.
I had been working on a large post about the '09 Cubs, and then linked off the page and it became cyber-ether. The jist was this....
Confession 1...... I love Theriot. There I said it. Mock if you will. I like scrappy players who fall into the "tweener" role. Almost a star, but not quite. Household names if your a team backer. You know the type......Len Dykstra (pre-roids), Shawon Dunston, Mookie Wilson, (my dream nickname, Mookie. Sigh.) etc.
Confession 2...... we won 97 freakin' games! All we gotta do is tweak things here and there. I firmly believe that the playoffs are all about momentum, and we have come in flat the last two years. No mojo. Zilch.
Starting pitching is strong, and so is the pen from the 8th inning on. At least 10 teams are an arm injury away from disaster, and we ain't much different, but we do have capable starters. We may not like them all, but they are there.
The infield works for me with Fontenot at 2nd and Theriot at short. We can't have a freakin' all-star at every position. We can however have a solid team with heart and grit, and I firmly believe those two intangibles win at least a dozen games a year.
The outfield needs a big ass bat in RF. Simple. I also cannot believe that Kosuke is washed up after one season. I think he'll bounce back with a respectable average around 300 with about 11 knocks. This will only come about if he is willing to grow a Ichiro-type scraggly goatee.
Keep Ronny (God help me), and Micah. They have earned a spot on the bench and a role on the team. Resign Blanco at a lesser rate (Jebus, that dude looks scary)
Which brings me to Dero. Outside the Windy City, it is reported that he is the "heart" of that team. Are guys like Geo or A-Ram ready to take that role if he is dealt? I hate to see him odd man out, because I like the fire he has, but If he lands me a big stick in right, I'll make it.
I guess in closing there are guys who can be dealt....the usual suspects. Marquis, Pie, Fuld, Hill, and now that I have come to grips with it, Dero. Just shore up the bullpen and get me that freakin' bat out in RF! Great post, Kurt.
The more I think of it, the
The more I think of it, the more I agree DeRo is the odd man out...
If we want to get younger, we can't keep him.
If we want lefties. He doesn't fit.
DeRosa becomes a trader midseason for prospects. I see that as the only thing possible to a team who needs. Anyone. Unless Soriano gets a midseason suck-injury again.
A question of value.
During the Cubs lifelong quest for the Almighty World Series Title, I've always believed they were behind the curve due to the lack of developing quality prospects.
It's true they've developed some solid pitchers but for the most part they've failed continuously, but for a few exceptions to produce any significant position players.
The Cubs as presently constructed have been built primarily through free agency and even if you're the Yankees, it's a questionable formula at best.
As we can see now, the Cubs like many franchises are finding that payroll is limiting the options they have. However, Hendry can find some payroll flexibility if he looks realistically at some of his regular players.
The Cubs presently have four players from their system, (Cedeneo, Hoffpauir, Marshall & Pie,) that can hardly be classified as studs, but cost nothing. The question for Hendry to ask himself is, how much payroll can be saved and what is lost by trading existing regulars that any of these players can replace.
The rotation certainly appears to be solid but come playoff time, the need for a 5th. starter is Nil. With Marquis scheduled to make $9.75M next year, all if not at least half of his salary could be freed up by trading and replacing him with Marshall.
The R/L balance of the offense is a concern and even if Fontenot won't quite match the career year numbers DeRosa put up last year, Fontenot hits left handed and doesn't take a back seat to DeRosa in the field.This would clear almost $5M.
With the payroll saved by these two moves, the Cubs could go sign one of the most productive LH bats available, Milton Bradley. Now before you start screaming about his health, remember we still have Twirly Bird to spell him defensively in order to keep Bradley healthy. Bradley is younger than DeRosa, has experience in RF and has always been able to rake.
Any thoughts?
it all depends on marquis.
it all depends on marquis. moving him will have to probably be part of a package deal, and right now, what bullets do we have left, and with signing bradley long term (that's the scary part for a guy that hasn't been healthy really... ever).
i guess the hard part is to find two trade partners to take on DeRo and Marquis...

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers claimed the top spot in their victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday and the Carolina Panthers will try to snag a victory after a long drought.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Chicago Bears: The Bucs are riding high off a division win over the Saints and are currently holding the top spot in the NFC South. They will play the "home" team in Wembley Stadium this Sunday against the Bears.
Tampa Bay rallied from an embarrassing loss last week and have a high confidence level going into this game. QB Josh Freeman displayed coolness in the pocket and the offense was outstanding against the Saints.
The Bucs defense proved to be a force to be respected and forced Saints QB Drew Brees into a game high 3 interceptions. I think they will do the same against Bears QB Jay Cutler.
Cutler showed better poise against the Minnesota Vikings last Sunday and was able to make better decisions with time. WR Devin Hester will need to be heavily involved as well as RB Matt Forte.
The Bears defense will need to get Freeman with extreme prejudice and take him down before he gets a chance to scramble out. The secondary will get a workout against the Bucs if Freeman gets too much time in the pocket.
My pick for the winner: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

He had no reason or intention to get to know or be kind to any of them.
Why did it matter?
They were Mark's friends, not his. He had no reason or intention to get to know or be kind to any of them. Why should he? Most kids his age were assholes under it all anyway. Just looking at him and the things he had done was proof enough. He couldn't and wouldn't trust them. Not a single one.
He walked outside, leaving Molly in the room to eat the food that was dropped on the floor. There was someone already standing out there, the only light coming from the burning embers of a cigarette. It was one of the more feminine looking males, the wind blowing so his hair flew in his face while the ash flew off of the cigarette.
"It's fucking cold out here." He mumbled as he took the cancer stick from his hand, flicking off the ash mindlessly before crossing his arms and bringing the stick back up to his lips.
"You'll get used to it." Ryan mumbled. He was trying to decided whether to stay there and talk, or go back down to the cellar to do what he had been planning on. The boy held out the cancer stick out to Ryan, the boy shifting uncomfortably as he pushed his long wavy hair out of his face. William, that's what Brendon had said his name was. Ryan took the cigarette, placing it between his lips as he took a drag. He blew the smoke out while handing it back over to the other male. "Why aren't you eating?" William laughed.
"You kidding me? With those animals? No, I only eat if it's just Patrick or Gabe." Ryan nodded. William took a drag of the cancer stick, blowing the smoke out slowly before passing it back over to Ryan. "What about you? You fucking own this brilliant house, and you're still out here doing nothing." Ryan tapped the ash off of the cigarette, bringing it to his lips to let the smoke fill his lungs.
"Long story." He muttered as he blew the smoke out slowly. Shifting eyes; William knew he was hiding something. The cigarette was passed back to it's owner, having him finish it off before putting it out on the ground, the light source gone.
"Guess I should get back. Maybe we can have a chat some other time." Ryan gave a nod and watched as William walked back into the house. It really was a nice night out. Cold, but nice. The mountain air had a frosty and autumn sent to it, the leaves turning different warm colors before they fell to the soft ground.
Ryan sighed, walking over to the cellar door. He had to stop getting into all of these encounters with the people that were staying in the house; they were just awkward. He unlocked the cellar, going down inside of it. After closing it back up again he locked it, knowing that he didn't want anyone catching him. He wandered down the hall, opening a heavy metal door that had a large X in red spray paint on it. There was a bag outside of the room, filled with everything he could want. He picked it up and slung it over his shoulder, the weight making him imbalanced. It was one of the only rooms he ever had that had more than one person in it. A couple: Two females. Pretty little things, they were. Both seemed Irish, one with bright red hair, while the other had dark brown hair, almost dark enough to pass as black. Ryann found them strolling through the woods outback; lost. That's what they had said they were. That they were lost. He laughed at the irony. They would be lost forever.
The redhead was curled up next to the dark brown haired girl, the terror showing on their freckled faces. Bones were going at odd angles, sticking out of the skin of the brown haired girl. The red head looked like she had been crying, the other knocked out cold. Ryan paused for a minute as the red head watched him with her bright green eyes. The dirt from the room covered just about every inch of her, her curly hair tangled and ratty like her clothes.
"Please, please save her." Ryan grinned at the words, a crooked and malicious smile that would have sent the devil and his minions running.
"Of course." His voice was chipper, completely devoid of the insanity he had. He opened his bag, pulling out a needle and small vial. He let the liquid fill the needle, walking over to the limp girl on the floor. She was still breathing, her ribs tearing at her flesh, one arm twisted backwards so that the white bone was sticking out of the pale freckled flesh. He took her good arm, plunging the needle into her flesh. He pushed down on it, allowing the liquid to quickly flow into her arm.
The needle was pulled back out of her flesh, and not a minute later she woke up, her heart pounding. "Take this." Ryan said with a soft expression as he handed her a small blue pill. She took it without a second thought, probably thinking that it would stop the pain. Ryan looked at the other girl as he waited for the drugs to work the brown haired girl. "What's your name sugar?"
"Traci." He smiled, loving how easy it was to tell she was scared just by her voice. "Is my mate going to make it? You'll help her, right?" Ryan's grin grew.
"Of course doll." She seemed to be shaking, almost like she knew what was going to happen next. Ryan pulled out a small jar from the depths of his bag, shaking it a little before taking the cap off. Ten little spiders ran out of it, going towards the girl with drugs coursing through her veins. He watched as she screamed, her friend starting to panic. The brown haired girl started to claw at her own flesh, tearing off as much as she could, trying to get all of the spiders to get off of her. She continued to even after all of the the spiders were dead, her heart going into over drive until her wide eyes stopped searching.She stayed limp, Traci going over to her side. She gently pushed the other girls shoulder, having no response from the now dead girl.
"You killed her." Traci backed away from him, shaking her head back and forth as she tried to calm herself down. It was impossible; how could you be calm in a room with a killer? "You're a fucking monster." Ryan gave a bitter laugh.
"That's what my father used to say." He shook his head, picking up his bag. He walked to the door while she screamed.
"AREN'T YOU GOING TO KILL ME?" He smiled, turning around to look at her tortured face.
"No, I'm going to leave you here to deal with the guilt that you let your friend die." With that he left, slamming the metal door shut behind him. He put the bolt lock in place, allowing the bag to drop at his feet. He made his way back up the stair case, unlocking it before getting out. He locked it before anyone could see him, going towards the woods that surrounded the house.
He found some wood for a fire, bringing it back to the house so he had an excuse for being outside. Molly greeted him at the door, smiling with her tail wagging. Ryan gave a small smile, happy to know that he would always have at least one creature who would always be happy to see him.
Pete was wandering around on the second floor, deciding he wanted to know what Ryan was hiding. You don't just block off an entire floor unless you had something big to hide. And living out in the middle of nowhere meant that there had to be something that he was hiding.
He wandered down the corridor, reading the doors numbers. There were three hallways that all connected together to make a rectangle. There were about twenty rooms, ten on each side of the hall. All of the doors were closed, the numbers getting higher with each step. He slowed when he reached room 266, the door ajar. It was the only one, making Pete shudder.
He didn't know what it was, but something in the house just seemed off. He pushed the door open with his foot, peering into it. He gasped and the door slammed shut, locking with a click.
I've been having a really shitty week, so if it shows up in my writing, I'm really sorry.
FrankieXIero:We'll see if William dies or not. You wanna know something funny? Every time I read a story with Ryan in, I secretly beg the author not to kill him. An yet, it seems in just about every story I have on here, Ryan's either died or was severely injured.
But who knows what will happen? Maybe William will make it out. Maybe nothing will happen. Who knows? (Other than me.)
AnotherKnifeInMyHand:Hehehe~ Don't you just love it when people trick you that way? It seems that none of them have died as of yet, but you never know what's going to happen next.
He's had a rough past, (like in all of my stories) and hasn't really spent much time with ya know, people. So it kind of figures that he would be a little harsh and reluctant to make nice with the other people.
Katrina_Adams:It's unique. (In this section anyway.) And I'm glad you like it.
PartyPoison:We're all pretty sure that it'll go in a pretty horrible direction. But it's not about how it ends, it's what it takes to get there.
reinventlove152:I'm glad you like it. It'll go on for awhile, just based off of all of the plans I have for this story.
-xoxo Pansy.

The Initiative
The Galapagos Islands of Ecuador are in crisis. Beginning in the 1970's, they began to draw thousands of new residents, attracted by the promise of lucrative opportunities linked to the islands' rich marine and terrestrial ecosystems and employment opportunities in construction, fisheries, and tourism. Development of the tourism industry and a boom in fishing more than tripled the local population in the past 15-years. The number of tourists visiting the Islands has quadrupled over the same period and is now approaching 200,000 per year. This expanding human imprint on the islands has contributed to (1) over-use of natural resources; (2) replacement of native and endemic species by invasive flora and fauna; (3) extraction of marine resources at unprecedented rates; (4) expansion of tourism and associated development into increasingly fragile environments; (5) a dramatic increase in human energy consumption and waste generation; (6) conflicts between resource conservation, economic development, sustainable communities, and alternate household livelihood strategies; and (7) challenges to human health, family, education, and institutions. Recognizing these threats, in June 2007, UNESCO declared the Galapagos Archipelago an "endangered" World Heritage Site, and similarly, the Ecuadorian Government declared an "ecological emergency."
Something must be done to minimize the direct and indirect human footprint in the Galapagos Islands and to reconcile the conflicts between the social and ecological sustainability of fragile and integrated systems, or all that is special about the islands will be lost. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) and the Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ) have taken the lead in organizing a response, laying the foundation through Memoranda of Understanding with the Galapagos National Park and the Charles Darwin Foundation and Research Station. In addition, high-level UNC delegations, including Holden Thorp, Chancellor; Bernadette Gray-Little, Executive Vice-Chancellor & Provost; Tony Waldrop, Vice-Chancellor for Research & Economic Development, Neil Caudle, Associate Vice Chancellor for Research & Economic Development; Peter Coclanis, Associate Provost for International Affairs; Barbara Entwisle, Director of the Carolina Population Center; Peggy Bentley, Associate Director of the Institute for Global Health & Infectious Diseases; and Gary Bowen, Professor of the School of Social Work have conducted site visits and held discussions with our collaborating partners on the Ecuadorian mainland (i.e., USFQ) and in the Galapagos Islands leading to a host of new initiatives.
Agreements to support undergraduate study abroad programs are in-place, following site-visits by UNC Study Abroad to USFQ. This will facilitate the enrollment of UNC undergraduate students on the main USFQ campus on the Ecuadorian mainland, and also at the Galapagos Academic Institute for the Arts and Sciences (GAIAS), the undergraduate teaching facility on San Cristobal Island in the Galapagos. Discussions are underway that would allow UNC faculty to teach existing courses at GAIAS as well as create new courses designed for UNC undergraduates as well as students from other universities enrolled in USFQ programs. In addition, a new undergraduate course in Geography has been developed, "Population-Environment Interactions in the Galapagos Islands," that will be taught by Professor Steve Walsh, Department of Geography at UNC-Chapel Hill in the fall of 2009.
Through an extensive and intensive program of integrated and interdisciplinary research, the primary goals are to examine the social and ecological sustainability of the Galapagos Islands, understand the complex nature of global interconnections, develop education and knowledge transfer programs that benefit UNC and the global community, inform policy and management through research scholarship, develop and translate research technologies to industry, government, and the classroom, address the many challenges facing human health in the islands, and develop new insights and understandings to address the cross-cutting challenges that face science, society, and this vulnerable place through interdisciplinary research that emphasizes population, health, and environment. Beyond the Galapagos Islands, the program will create a global template for the study of other conflicted and challenged places throughout the world that are located in and around protected areas, as well as in the many diverse environments where social and ecological sustainability is at risk.
The USFQ and UNC-Chapel Hill collaborating partnership has a geographic vision that extends from Isabela Island to the Galapagos archipelago, and includes mainland Ecuador, Latin America, and the world. The vision is one that looks inside the archipelago through the lens of population, health, and environment interactions, but also looks outward from the islands to the global stage where international tourism, climate change, transnational demands for fisheries resources, population migration patterns, and more, are part of the many Galapagos identities. For UNC-Chapel Hill, the Galapagos Initiative offers an extended international engagement and an enhanced recognition for interdisciplinary and integrated science, education, and outreach, and for USFQ, the program elevates research to new and important levels.
Galapagos is both special and in crisis. The Carolina faculty and collaborative partners are well-positioned to research the causes of the crisis and work towards solutions. Links to key institutional players in the Galapagos have been forged. The Galapagos problem is interdisciplinary, and Carolina has key researchers in the right disciplines to conduct the necessary research. The excitement already generated on campus by the Galapagos Initiative has brought together people from diverse departments, schools, and programs. Opportunities exist for both basic and applied research. And there are already strong indications that Carolina students will be energized by the UNC Galapagos Initiative, creating a generation better able to tackle environmental problems in other parts of the world using the Galapagos model.
The Galapagos Islands offer an incredible opportunity for scholarship, education, and knowledge transfer to be conducted on the world stage. The international partnership with one of the leading academic institution in Ecuador and key organizations in the Galapagos Islands offers an interdisciplinary and integrative vision of the complex interplay of resource conservation and economic development, seen through the lens of population, health, and environment. Like the Galapagos Islands, many environments throughout the world are besieged by the often competing agendas of resource conservation and economic development. This Initiative builds on the strengths and experiences of multiple institutions, seeks to address scientifically-important and compelling societal challenges, and integrates science, education, policy, and management within a World Heritage Site.

Graphene aerogel is seven times lighter than air, can balance on a blade of grass April 10, 2013 at 1:34 pm
Chinese material scientists have created the world's lightest material: A graphene aerogel that is seven times lighter than air, and 12% lighter than the previous record holder (aerographite). A cubic centimeter of the graphene aerogel weighs just 0.16 milligrams — or, if you're having a problem conceptualizing that, a cubic meter weighs just 160 grams (5.6 ounces). The graphene aerogel is so light that an cube inch of the stuff can be balanced on a blade of grass, the stamen of a flower, or the fluffy seed head of a dandelion (see pictures below).

Stephen Harper rewrote history... with a racist crayon.And somehow I'd forgotten about this! D:
At the 2009 G20 Harper actually said this - 'We also have no history of colonialism. So we have all of the things that many people admire about the great powers but none of the things that threaten or bother them.'
A Conservative campaign staffer in a Toronto riding waded into hot water Wednesday, sending out an email seeking voters in "national folklore costumes" to appear at a photo-op for an upcoming visit from Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper.Awesome! Very progressive.
"We, at the Etobicoke Centre riding, are trying to create a photo-op about all the multicultural groups that support Ted Opitz our local Conservative candidate and the Prime Minister," the email signed by Zeljko 'Zed' Zidaric said.
"The opportunity is to have up to 20 people in national folklore costumes which represent their ethnic backgrounds," said the email.
"These people will sit in front row behind the PM — great TV photo op." Zidaric went on to write that the campaign was still "seeking representation from the Arab community" and asked for people willing to participate in "ethnic costume."
It's the old Catch-22: people like the NDP, and Jack, more than the Liberals and Ignatieff, but fear and distaste for the Conservatives keep them voting for and supporting a party 'that can form government'; but until that support breaks and the NDP gets a good run of polls setting the waterline above Liberal support, the Liberals continue to be the party which people believe can do it. No matter that the NDP is a powerhouse, having spent more money than the Liberals in the last election; no matter that, with the option of Jack Layton as prime minister, 44 per cent of Quebec would vote NDP, 10 per cent more than for the Bloc.While we're at it, Catch-22 is a good site for looking at vulnerable ridings that could be taken over by non-Conservatives by strategic voting.
No votes cast Wednesday in a special ballot at the University of Guelph should stand, according to the Conservative Party of Canada.Allegedly, the communications director for the Conservative candidate also tried to grab one of the ballot boxes.
The party wrote Elections Canada on Thursday to request that none of the votes collected during the U of G session be included in the final tally of votes in the Guelph riding. The letter was sent by lawyer Arthur Hamilton, of Toronto-based law firm, Cassels Brock.
In his letter, Hamilton alleges the polling station was illegal and also that partisan election material was present at it, which is a violation of the Canada Elections Act.
The polling station in question was located on the main floor of University Centre, where approximately 700 students cast sealed ballots.
Elections Canada media advisor James Hale said this was the third election during which the University of Guelph held a special ballot on campus. And this is the first time it's ever been challenged, Hale said.
"Part of our mandate is making the vote as accessible as possible. So, we look at outreach programs," Hale said.
Hale said special ballot polling stations are often held for groups of people who consistently display less-than-average voter turnouts, such as students, First Nations, seniors and the disabled.
"It's never been challenged, not to my knowledge," Hale said.
Several University of Guelph students claim Michael Sona, the communications director for Guelph Conservative candidate Marty Burke, attempted to put a stop to voting at the special ballot held Wednesday.WTF?
The students say Sona approached the Elections Canada balloting site claiming that the process unfolding at the location was illegal and at one point reached for but never took possession of a container with ballots.
"He tried to grab for the ballot box. I'm not sure he got his hand on the box, but he definitely grabbed for it," said Brenna Anstett, a student, who at the time of the reported incident was sealing her second of two envelopes containing her vote.
Student Claire Whalen was just about to receive her ballot just before 5 p.m. when the episode unfolded.
"That's when a guy came up and said it was an illegal polling station and that he was confiscating the ballots. And then he tried to take (the ballot box)," Whalen said.
Whalen also identified the man as Sona.
Students can vote at the advance polls or at their polling station on election day. Alternatively, they can register and vote by special ballot. A student who wishes to vote by special ballot can register with Elections Canada or at any local Elections Canada office by completing an Application for Registration and Special Ballot and supplying satisfactory proof of identity and address. The completed application for registration must be received by a returning officer or Elections Canada in Ottawa no later than 6:00 p.m. on the Tuesday before election day.posted by russilwvong at 2:35 PM on April 15, 2011
Once the application has been accepted, a special ballot voting kit is provided to the student. The student is responsible for completing the ballot and returning it by the deadline. If a student is voting in his or her electoral district, the completed ballot must be received at the local Elections Canada office in that electoral district no later than the close of polls on election day. If a student is voting away from his or her electoral district, the completed ballot must be received by Elections Canada in Ottawa no later than 6:00 p.m., Ottawa time, on election day.
After a student applies and is registered to vote by special ballot, he or she cannot vote by any other means for that election.
Special ballot kiosks on campus, where students could apply and vote at the same time, are not permitted. Other initiatives that offer an opportunity to distribute special ballot application forms only, however, are permitted, such as registration desks on campuses for short periods of time, outreach initiatives with student groups, etc.

At the reference desk we're frequently asked if we have a fax machine. While we don't have an old school fax machine here at the library, with the scanners located on our first and second floor labs and some fantastic web apps the occasional fax is now quick and easy to accomplish!
First, scan in your document. You can do this with the scanners located in the PC lab in the northwest corner of the second floor, or the first floor PC lab. There are step-by-step instructions on how to scan your document attached to the scanner. Once your documents are scanned, navigate to one of these web apps:
hellofax is a web-based service that allows you to send faxes and fill out and sign documents from your internet browser. New users are given five pages of faxing for free, and after that it costs $1.99 per fax (up to 10 pages, at $0.20/page after that). If you're a heavy duty faxer, you can also sign up for monthly plans which give you varying amounts of faxes each month.
If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, there is FaxZero which will allow you to send a maximum of two free faxes of three pages each a day for free! There is a catch, though. FaxZero will append a cover page with an advertisement on each fax. A $1.99 per fax payment through PayPal, though, will remove the advertisement and grant you up to fifteen pages per fax.
Although featured on our blog by Elisa before, it's worth mentioning the JotNot Scanner Pro app for the iPhone. A fantastic app for turning pictures of documents taken by your iPhone and turning them into PDF, PNG, or JPG files, it can also fax up to 5 pages through a $0.99 in-app purchase.
So, save yourself a trip to the local copy center when you need to send a fax! There are great resources online to send that occasional fax!

If you don't have a Halloween costume yet you are in really bad shape. I'm not even sure you deserve to go out at this point! But just in case here is another easy-to-do look from Lorde's video for Tennis Courts. How very topical of me.
STILL don't have a costume? Here's another one from RACKED on how to look like the rightful heir to the Iron Throne.
Need last minute Halloween ideas? Here is a video I did for RACKED on how to get the look from Miley Cyrus's Wrecking Ball video.

The Spooky Scary Daily Face - October 20, 2011 - The Vintage Zombie
face: Ben Nye Creme Color in White
face details: Ben Nye Creme Color in Black
veins: teal pencil
eyeliner: MAC Blacktrack
eyes: Purple from Master Bruise FX Wheel, Ben Nye Creme Color in Black
eye lashes: Lancome Hypnose Drama
lips: NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in Volga, Ben Nye Stage Blood
This is what I'm going as for Halloween, I call it the The Vintage Zombie. Why? Because before the days of insane realistic prosthetics, a la The Walking Dead, zombie faces were created with only with regular flat makeup and drawing/shading skills. While today's zombies and grosser and more realistic, I think the old zombies were scarier in a painterly way. I guess what I'm saying is the artistry made them more beautiful.
So to become a vintage zombie begin by covering the entire face and neck in a thin layer of White Ben Nye Creme Color.
Next paint the entire lid black from lash line to crease. Extend the black all around the eye, up to the inner corner of the brows, diffusing lightly over the brow bone, under the lower lashes. It doesn't have to be super neat, but make sure you get those dark circles under the eyes, by shading lightly with the black.
Next is the face details/shading; all of this is done with a light application of Black Ben Nye Creme Color mix with Purple from Master Bruise FX Wheel . First, shade in the hollows of the cheekbones. Make a line from the ear to the center of the cheek under the cheekbone and then shade by making downward strokes under the line so the hard line remains on top and the color is diffused below it. Next shade around the nostrils, on the nose and in the space between the nose and the bow of the lip. Also shade around the chin, following the natural contours of the face. Now make the wrinkles in the forehead by drawing light lines up from the brows and between the brows. Smudge them slightly to soften the lines. Also, lightly smudge black in other areas of the face, it should look dirty and decaying, like it's been in the ground.
To make the veins you can use any matte teal colored pencil. Press very lightly and make lines like you would if you were drawing tree branches. Tap the lines with your finger to soften them, especially the edges.
Last, I applied some purple red lipstick messily to my lips and added some fake blood come from my mouth. I definitely just ate someone.
The Spooky Scary Daily Face - October 18, 2011 - The Roy Lichtenstein Painting
face: Ben Nye Creme Color in White
dots: Ben Nye Creme Color in Red
tears: Ben Nye Creme Color in Blue, Cosmic Blue, and White
eyeliner: MAC Blacktrack
eye lashes: Lancome Hypnose Drama
eyes: Blue Colored Contacts
lips: NARS Lipstick in Heat Wave
I'll start by thanking Amanda for giving me the idea for this look. Thanks Amanda, you're really good at Halloween! Next I will warn anyone who tries this out that pulling this one off if a lot like cleaning your bedroom: it looks worse before it looks good. Half way through this I had an "uh oh, what did I do moment," but once all the elements were completed it totally came together and cools pretty cool. So…
Begin by cover the entire face with Ben Nye Creme Color in White using a sponge applicator.
Next I applied Blacktrack liner around the entire eye and the upper and lower inner rims. You want to have clean lines and go heavy on the liner because you're trying to recreate the comic strip-like outlines characteristic of pop art. The lashes are actually part of the eyeliner wing that have been drawn on. From the eyeliner wing you will want to make feathered strokes which when the eye is open, will look like very dramatic lashes. Next apply a line with Black track along the eye socket bone, this will intersect the lashes. You want to see this line when the eyes are open so make sure it is applied above the fold of the eyelid.
Next, I drew in the brows over my natural brows and exaggerated the edges. Look at a Lichtenstein print, most of the women look pretty exasperated and the emotion is in the shape of the brows and eyes. Then I drew a black line from one of the brows, all the way down one side of the nose, to the top of the lip. Make a black line around the side of the nostril and one or two small lines on the side of the nose opposite to the continuous line near the eye. This lines are the contour lines Lichtenstein uses to show dimension in the face.
For the tear, out line the shape you want in black first, then fill it in by layering various shades of blue and small touches of white for dimension.
Outline the lips in black and then fill in with red.
I made all the face dots last. I dipped Q-tips in Red Ben Nye Creme Color and then applied it to my skin with a pressing and twirling motion. So, press to skin, slight twirl, lift from skin. I applied the dots linearly across the face until my entire face was covered. This part took the longest and is the most tedious, but try not to get sloppy with the dots, this is the lynchpin of the entire look. I highly recommend setting everything with loose setting powder so you don't end up with red smears all over your face.
The Spooky Scary Daily Face - October 13, 2011 - Ziggy Stardust
face: Ben Nye Creme Color in White
eyes/chin: MAC Blacktrack, Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in shade 10 (orange)
forehead detail: Ben Nye Creme Color in Black, Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in shade 11 (gold), Ben Nye Fireworks in Bronze
lips: Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in shade 11 (gold)
David Bowie has a myriad great looks to choose from, which is what makes him such a formidable Halloween Costume. A while ago I did a post on the Aladdin Sane look, so here is how you become to alien rockstar himself, Ziggy Stardust.
First, using a sponge applicator I applied a thin layer of Ben Nye Creme Color in White over the entire face. Next I lined the the inner rims and the lower lid only with Blacktrack. Then, using my fingers, I applied Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in shade 11 (gold) around the entire eyes, from lash line to brows, extending back to the temples and onto the cheekbones. You want to blend all the edges of the orange color so it diffuses evenly into the white. I did the same thing to the jaw bone and chin, using less product to achieve a lighter look.
On the forehead, I began by drawing the outline of the circle with Ben Nye Creme Color in Black. Then I filled in the circle with Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in shade 11 (gold) and waited a few minutes for that to dry. Once dry, I went around the interior outline of the circle with Ben Nye Fireworks in Bronze. I also added some of the bronze color to areas of the middle of the circle to create dimension.
Last I added Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in shade 11 (gold) to my lips.
The Spooky Scary Daily Face - October 12, 2011 - The Blackbird
face, eyes, feather details: Ben Nye Creme Color in Black. Ben Nye Creme Color in White, Ben Nye Creme Color in Gray, black feathers
eyeliner: MAC Blacktrack
eye lashes: Lancome Hypnose Drama, Make Up For Ever Feather False Lashes
lips: NARS Lipstick in Heat Wave
I really have no affinity towards Blackbirds so I'm lacking something charming or even informative to write up top. Blackbird by The Beatles is the only song I can still play on the guitar and it's a pretty hard song because of all the finger picking, so I guess that's something? Yeah, I don't know.
Here's how to make yourself look like my interpretation of a Blackbird…
First, using a sponge I applied a very light grey makeup over my entire face using Ben Nye Creme Color in Black and White.
Next I did the detailing on my eyebrow, cheeks, and eyes with a small flat brush and Ben Nye Creme Color in Black. On the eyebrows I applied the makeup in an upward feathering motion. I did this loosely not worrying about it looking to perfect. The faster you make the strokes with the brush the more authentically feathered it will look. On my cheeks, I made a line in the hollow of my cheekbone and then made upward feathering strokes originating from that line. For my eyes I lined them, including the inner rims with Blacktrack. I made a line along my eye socket bone extending out past the eye into feathered lines. This liner along the eye bone should be visible when the eyes are open. (Think a 60's mod eye.) I added grey to the inner corners blending onto the lid and white strokes radiating from the under eye as well as by the cheekbone. Last, I lined around the entire eye with white and applied feather lashes upside down to just below to lower lash line.
The forehead detailing is loose feathers attached to the skin with eyelash glue (you can apply feathers any way you like) and feathering with black, white, and grey makeup, again made with a small flat brush.
Last I applied NARS Lipstick in Heatwave to my lips.
I made this feathered headpiece a few years ago. Finally putting it to good use.
The Spooky Scary Daily Face - October 10, 2011 - The Mermaid
face: Make Up For Ever Diamond Cream in Shade 2, Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in Shade 18 (lavender)
scales: Ben Nye Creme Color in Cosmic Blue, Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in Shade 21 (teal), Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in Shade 11 (gold), MAC Paint Pot in Delft
eyeliner: MAC Blacktrack
eyes: Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in Shade 21 (teal)
eye lashes: Lancome Hypnose Drama, Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in Shade 11 (gold)
lips: NARS Lipstick in Dolce Vita
I saw The Little Mermaid in theaters when I was four years old. It pretty much set the tone for the rest of my life. I wanted to have long red hair, a voice like an angel, and fins that I could swim around with but also that turned into legs when I was on dry land, you know, like in Splash. Those things didn't really pan out for me. I did have really long hair, but I cut it all off. Anyway, here is my attempt at becoming the mermaid I always wanted to be.
First I started by applying Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in Shade 18 (lavender) with a sponge applicator over my entire face and neck. Next I applied a thin layer of Make Up For Ever Diamond Cream in Shade 2 over the entire face, but adding slightly more product to the cheekbones, forehead, and chin. I'm really pale so I was able to achieve the luminescent effect without looking grey. If you have dark skin you will want to mix the products with foundation that matches your skin color to avoid looking grey.
For the eyes I lined them with Blacktrack, creating a dramatic swooped eye. Cat eyes are kind of my thing, so I always do them, but you can apply your liner however you think a mermaid would. I think mermaids are really fancy but also into the 60s so…
Next I applied Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in Shade 21 (teal) as shadow to the entire lid, extending around the eyes and beneath the lower lash line. I then painted over the eyebrows with Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in Shade 11 (gold).
Now, on to the scales and I promise you're going to laugh when I tell you how I did this. I took a pair of black fishnet stockings that I never wear and pulled them over my head. Yeah, that's right, keep reading. I held them over my face so the stockings were taught and pretty flat against my skin. Yes, it was hard to breathe, thank you for asking. Then, using a sponge applicator and Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in Shade 21 (teal) I stippled (small, strong pressing motion (not wiping motion)) over areas of my face where I wanted the scales to be. It can be anywhere, I just chose the cheek, forehead, and chin because that's where the stockings would lay the flattest. I waited a second for it to dry and then went over certain areas with Ben Nye Creme Color in Cosmic Blue and Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in Shade 11 (gold) to add dimension.
I waited a few minutes for the makeup to dry before removing the fishnet stockings from my head. If anyone saw in my window they probably thought I was a robber, but a fancy one. I quickly realized I could have just cut the stockings and taped small piece on my face instead of sitting around with fishnets on my head like an asshole, so that's what I did on my chest and shoulder. I like to think I made the mistake so you don't have to and in that sense I'm really a hero. Good luck becoming a mermaid!
The Spooky Scary Daily Face - October 6, 2011 - The Tiger
face: Mehron Color Cup in Orange, Ben Nye Creme Color in White
tiger strips: Ben Nye Creme Color in Black
eyeliner: MAC Blacktrack
eye lashes: Lancome Hypnose Drama
lips: Ben Nye Creme Color in Black
Oh man, you guys, I really wish I was a tiger. If you know me at all you know that tigers are my favorite animal and that I am generally obsessed with large cats. I've been saying this for years, if modern science could give me the option of giving birth to baby tigers instead of baby humans I would have had ten children by now. I know this makes me sound insanely creepy/crazy, but that is how much I love tigers.
For this look begin by applying Mehron Color Cup in Orange over the entire face and neck. Set the color by applying a translucent powder over it, this will ensure that the orange doesn't mix with the black and white makeup that will go over it.
Next apply Ben Nye Creme Color in White to the chin and eye brow area. You can use your finger or a small flat brush, whichever you find easiest to blend with. Blend or feather the edges of the white into the orange to there is definition between the colors, but no hard lines. Don't apply the white under the eyes yet, save this for later. Set the white with translucent powder.
Now it's time to do the black stripe detailing. This part is a little difficult to explain since it's more a matter of interpreting what you see. It will actually help you immensely to look at a photo of a tiger while you're doing this. Try to copy the stripe patterns. Use a small pointed brush to make the stripes and be painterly with your strokes. The lines don't have to be perfect because you are emulating fur, you want to get some feathering an slight blending of colors.
For the eyes I lined the inner rims with Blacktrack and painted the entire lid black with Ben Nye Creme Color. The last step on the eyes should be to fill in the space between the two black strips under the eye with white. I extended the black in two straight lines down the sides of the nose to create a wider, feline nose. Make lines extending from the nose to the top lip and out from the corners of the lips to create a cat mouth. Add small dots in the white area between the nose and mouth and don't forget the whiskers and cat ears!
Now I am a real cat. All my dreams have come true. I'm gonna go have a drink on my roof and see if anyone notices.
The Spooky Scary Daily Face - October 3, 2011 - The Mexican Skeleton
face: Ben Nye Creme Color in White
face details: Ben Nye Creme Color in Black, Ben Nye Creme Color in Red
eyeliner: MAC Blacktrack
eye flower center: Burgundy from Master Bruise FX Wheel, Ben Nye Creme Color in Black
eye flower petals: Ben Nye Creme Color in Red, Green from Master Bruise FX Wheel
eye lashes: Lancome Hypnose Drama
lips: NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in Volga
FACT: I have wanted to attend The Day of The Dead in Mexico since I was 16. I think it's really awesome and creepy how everyone hangs out in cemeteries for two days and celebrates their deceased loved ones. I love Mexican skeletons and have a small collection of them which I accumulated on numerous trips across the country. My favorite being a small bride and groom which has somehow remained in tacted (and on my desk) through about 8 moves.
For the look: First using a sponge applicator I covered my entire face and neck in Ben Nye Creme Color in White. The layer of white should be blended so it is not too thick on the face, that means allowing the natural pigment of the skin to remain visible.
Next I mixed Burgundy from Master Bruise FX Wheel and Ben Nye Creme Color in Black to get an eggplant color which I applied using a brush in a large circle around the eyes. The size of the circle will depend on the size and shape of your face, but it should extend over the eyebrows.
Next using the Green from Master Bruise FX Wheel I drew the outlines for the flower petals with a small pointed brush. The flower petals are by far the hardest part of this look, but don't get discouraged, they don't have to be perfect. Also, try experimenting with the shape and size of the petals. For example, you'll notice I made the petals under my eyes larger and slightly slanted, but you don't have to do the same thing. Use your own creative intuition here. Once the outline is complete I filled in the petals with a small flat curved brush using Ben Nye Creme Color in Red. After the petals are filled in you might need to go back and clean up the green outline.
Next I made an upside down heart over the nose using Ben Nye Creme Color in Black. I also lined the inner rims of the upper and lower lids with Blacktrack to eliminate visible natural skin.
The facial detailing and flourishes are other areas where you can pretty much do anything you want. I recommend googling photos of Mexican skeletons to get some ideas. You might want to do a different pattern entirely, or something with color, or no flourishes at all. This is totally your call, but whatever you do you will want to use a small pointed brush (like the one you used for the flower petals) to make these designs. Using a small pointed brush will ensure that the designs are delicate and precise.
Last I used NARS lipstick in Volga on the lips and applied mascara.
Stay tuned for all Halloween Daily Faces for the rest of October and have a spooky day!

You should go to extra morning hours and then leave that park about 2 hours after the normal opening time and visit another Disney park without Extra Magic Hours.
The extra evening magic hours can be killer at such parks as Animal Kingdom. We took advantage of the evening hours at AK and rode Expedition Everest about 10 times in a row with no wait.
Also, late in the evening, around 9-ish, there were no lines or waits for a lot of the attractions in Fantasyland.
We went to Magic Mountain during this time, too, and the only one with a long wait was X2, which by the way felt rougher to me than I remember in '07. Anyway, to ride all the other popular rides the longest wait was maybe 20 minutes, and the park was packed. We arrived at 10:30am and ended up leaving around 3 because we hit everything, and had time to eat in the park.
I think the day of the week factors in, depending on the time of year. More importantly then any of the stuff mentioned above, always give yourself enough days to visit any of the parks so that you don't get frustrated when you are visiting on a busy day.

1 Salute – The first song on the album has to be a strong one. Otherwise you've lost your listener straight away. Salute is strong on every aspect. The four singers most definitely learnt one from Tulisa on the X Factor. Girl power sells. The solider theme fits perfectly. I can see this being the second single. You find yourself singing along after one listen.
2 Move - Oh, Christmas has most definitely come early. This track is so bloody good. Like Wings, the debut single from the new album is completely different to anything on the market at the moment. It's fresh. The beat is catchy. The lyrics like the flu. Try and shake them off, and they haunt you for days. The attitude, harmonies are on point.
3 Little Me - If you like this, you will love the acoustic version of this track. It has TMS, the producer, written all over it. It's very chart friendly. The girls are very smart, and you can tell they know their market. It's a feel good anthem track, with beautiful lyrics. The last section is another level of greatness. "I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out, talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder. Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful, everything she doesn't see."
4 Nothing Feels Like You – This track is very Destiny's Child. From the outset you can tell Camille Purcell co-write it. With Little Mix moving towards R&B, this track is a winner in my eyes. The quick lyrics, mixed with the beat is addictive, the quirky chanting at the end, making you wish it lasted just that little longer.
5 Towers - A ballad that really shows off the vocals of the girls. I wish it was written by the girls, because lyrically it's very, very good. "But you left it too late now my heart feels nothing, nothing at all." The chorus in particular showing off their harmonies. The track building up, to an amazing spectacular ending. I want to hear this track live.
6 Competition – I like the diversity of this track. At first you think it's just going to be a quick-fired, slightly rap number, but the hook and chorus totally surprises you. I love the mix between the two. The "I can do better every day and night," section is very catchy. This song really reminds me of their DNA album, but better.
7 These Four Walls - Another slower track. The beginning is full of emotion, and you can't help but listen to every word they sing. Their voices soft, hypnotising. "If I hear your voice I'll be fine," makes you want to know the inspiration behind the beautiful lyrics.
8 About The Boy – This track is full of swag. I can see Destiny's Child wishing they had released this. The harmonies once again are so good in the chorus. The breakdown near the end made my mouth fall open in shock, that note is insane. You have to play it again just to hear it again.
9 Boy – The intro is off the chain. It starts off so well, and continues to soar. The track oozes R&B, and I can't help but feel it sounds a little American-y. Even though it's not a bad thing, I hope they remember, as corny as it sounds, where they're from. One of our favourites from the album.
10 Good Enough – The girls really found the good ratio to slow and fast songs. Some albums go all out on the ballads, whereas Little Mix instead have gone for a few, really strong ones. However this track doesn't stand out compared to some of the tracks, and seems a bit like a filler. Even though the vocals are still insanely good, it's a bit meh.
11 Mr Loverboy – This track penned by Ryan Williamson and Jordan Dollar, is cute, the girl's vocals sounding on point on the chorus. The strong chorus makes up for the lacklustre verses. This is probably the track I'm most likely to skip in the future.
12 A Different Beat - The last track on the album goes back to the soldier theme. The girls working together to bring a big intro. The quality rises, the fast-paced verses, paving the way for an brilliant chorus. If you weren't a fan before, you will definitely be marching to the Little Mix beat after hearing this.
'See Me Now,' 'They Just Don't See You,' and 'Stand Down,' the deluxe tracks are all a little treat. All of them, especially the first two penned by the fabulous Nicola Roberts, deserved a spot on the normal version of the album. Check them out, you won't regret it.
To sum up: everything is tighter. The harmonies are slicker. The lyrics are more powerful. You can tell as a group they are stronger. They are easily the leading girlband at the moment. The Saturdays, who? Their sophomore album met all of our expectations. Perry, Jesy, Leigh-Anne and Jade, I salute you.

Attendees could pretend to be Luke, Leia or Han Solo, thanks to the life-sized Star Wars cut-out at the AusCERT booth. But why can't we pretend to be Darth Vader?

Munir Kotadia opted to report from the top of the Hacklabs tank, possibly to avoid confrontations with those he was talking about ... or maybe he was just trying to get a better mobile phone signal?
