4 Pretty (and Super Simple) Fall Makeup Looks
Wind Kissed Cheeks
Step 1: Create the perfect canvas. Apply a hydrating BB cream. It makes blush (see step 2) easier to blend, says New York City makeup artist Troy Surratt.
Product We Love: L'Oreal Paris Youth Code BB Cream Illuminator, $17.
Wind Kissed Cheeks
Step 2: Now, about that blush... Dot a fingerprint of a creamy one on the apple of each cheek directly below pupils. Blend in a big circle.
Product We Love: Smashbox Airbrush Whipped Cheek Color in Berry Bliss, $29.
Wind Kissed Cheeks
Step 3: Don't make it flawless. If the color looks like makeup, keep rubbing until it's almost transparent. Skip powder—dewy is ideal.
Product We Love: Chantecaille Cheek Creme in Shy, $34.
How I Rocked Wind-Kissed Cheeks
Clockwise from top left:
"Besides tapping blush on the apples, I sucked in my cheeks and then blended the color across my cheekbones to make them really stand out. So pretty!" -- Megan Segura, DailyMakeover.com
"With a flushed cheek look like this, I think it's all about the blending and layering. I put one layer of the light pink blush on, blended it really well, then did another layer using the rosy blush." -- Rachel Hayes, DailyMakeover.com
"This look has my name written all over it. It's natural and easy. It's the 'no makeup, makeup look' that guys like, too! I always say there's nothing sexier than the flush you get after a good workout. This is the best way to mimic that." -- Jeannine Morris, BeautySweetSpot.com
The New Smoky
Step 1: Pick up your brown pencil. Outline both lash lines, says NYC makeup artist Willow Mayor. Go for high drama and line inner rims, too.
Product We Love: Tom Ford Eye Defining Pencil in Espresso, $35.
The New Smoky
Step 2: On to cocoa shadow. Dust over lids up to brow bones. Add a thin line of shadow under lower lashes—that's where the smolder happens.
Product We Love: Clarins Ombre Minerale Eyeshadow in Dark Chocolate, $20
The New Smoky
Step 3: The crucial final step. Use a swab to press silver loose powder on inner corners of eyes. And who can leave the house without mascara?
Product We Love: Make Up For Ever Star Powder in Silver 948, $20
How I Rocked the New Smoky
Clockwise from top left:
"Only one shadow to blend? That's an eye look I can master. I lined just the outer two thirds of my lids to make my almond-shaped eyes seem wider." -- Jeannine Morris, BeautySweetSpot.com
"I have a young-looking face so I' always a little wary of putting on too much makeup in fear of looking like a four-year-old playing with her mom's vanity. But the smoky eye was actually very compatible with my green eyes." -- Shannon Farrell, DailyMakeover.com
"Since we were putting a light, silver shimmer in the inner corners, I added a little extra brown shadow to the outer corners. This really helped emphasize the dark-to-light smokey look. I'd wear it on a night out on the town with the girls!" -- Caroline Murray, DailyMakeover.com

The Saint Seiya we deservedLets get it out there guys: It's an offshoot, and maybe yeah reusing Hades may haven't been original, but it worked tremendously. This anime has great fighting, and itself has its own ideals. Every character deserved his part, and had amazing development. The plot took its time, but not making needless clutter. The heroes (unlike Omega) stuck to one principle, and lived by it. It is also ...Read more
great storyline they should have extended itI like how the story uses a greek goddess and then using names from astrology but Hades side with specters was a nice twist and kept the fights interesting...The fight with Pisces was something to build the story and tension. But if you like a interesting, fun anime with magic and some historical identities this anime is for you

pretty good but sad that it ends earlyall things considered it was pretty good, i use to watch saint seiya (well what little they dubbed in america way way back in the day :/ ) and it was pretty awesome to see another part of the story from that universe brought to life with the newer animation we have now. all in all i think it was visually stunning. a little slow a parts. heart breaking at certain moments depending on who your ...Read more

1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:AWESOME SERIES!!! :)This was the first of the saint seiya series that I watched and I did not know anything about it and I was hooked on the first episode. I REALLY wish they would finish this because I was sooo into this!!! I guess I can finish it manga style buutt I wanna see this series complete! It is pretty damn awesome love the characters and the way the story is unfolding its pretty good!

In individual fights, bluster often causes someone to lose what would otherwise seem to be a ...Read more

Comment: Re:How much more can we squeeze? (Score 2) 78
- - Adding channels. This is what MIMO spatial multiplexing (SM) is about;
- - Increasing the used spectrum bandwidth. There is a lot of spectrum at high frequencies, with new challenges, and one option for 5G is to use this;
- - Increase the signal to noise ratio. This is what beam-forming is about.
Having more MIMO SM layers (i.e. concurrent channels) is not practical. The complexity of a MMSE decoder isO(L^3) with L the number of layers, so it gets ugly quickly. Today MIMO SM is typically limited to 2 layers in practice, with 4 likely coming and 8 the practical limit (and that may not be so practical really...).
Using very high frequencies (above 10 GHz) gives access to a lot of free spectrum, but the higher one go the lower the reach for a given power budget. To compensate for the high attenuation this is coupled with massive multi-antennas, the talk for 5G is 64 to 256. This is split between a few very costly MIMO SM layers and the rest for cheap beam-forming. So for example 256 antennas would behave like four 64 patches BF antennas for 4 layers MIMO. Of course with that many antennas and RF transceiver you have to compromise in cost and quality. So it's a lot of poor receive chains, vs. a few very high quality ones today. But there's still the potential to gain overall.
It has challenges though: it will still be for small cells (low reach) and rather low mobility (the beam steering cannot track high speed mobiles, plus small cells don't work wall for highly mobile devices: too many handovers). But because most people are low speed and the places where capacity is most needed are urban centers where small cells are ok, it still can be a win.
But as one can see, high speed 5G won't be universal like 4G is. By this I mean that 4G can (and will) completely replace 2G and 3G in time, while this high frequencies / massive BF 5G could only complement 4G is high density urban places, but will never be suitable for lower density parts (rural) where 4G would stay.
And then there's the elephant in the room: a lot of the improvements in telecoms have been riding on Moore's law. With the scaling problems that start now to be more openly discussed, how much more processing power we can use for 5G and what the users are prepared to pay (cost and power) for all these improvements are interesting questions.

Career Corner
The Winter Olympics captured my attention this year. I don't usually follow winter sports. However, for the past few weeks, I've been engrossed in the stories of athletes from around the world who have encountered endless injuries and overcome insurmountable odds to compete for the highest athletic honor – an Olympic gold medal. The talent pool is deep, and the competition is fierce. Only the best earn a place on the podium. Weeks, months and years go into training for such an event. And some athletes only get one shot to propel them to the top.

Build 40 of AOKP ROM has been released for the AT&T One X, by XDA Senior Member rohan32. AOKP is an Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 based custom ROM that features a stock Android interface without any bloatware or unnecessary apps, with advanced customization options that let you customize almost every aspect of the interface, along with fast and smooth performance.
However, the ROM isn't completely stable at this point and might have a few bugs and issues, and a few things do not work. Here are the things that do not currently work on the ROM:
- Video Recording is broken
- Panorama mode in Camera app
- 2G/3G switch
As you can see, the list of things that do not work is not too big and most of the major stuff works. So if the things listed above are something you can live without, you should certainly try out the ROM.
Read on to find out how you can install AOKP Build 40 on your AT&T One X.
This guide is applicable only for AT&T One X. DO NOT try this on the Rogers One X or any other device.
The methods and procedures discussed here are considered risky and you should not attempt anything if you don't know completely what it is. If any damage occurs to your device, we won't be held liable.
How to Install AOKP Build 40 on AT&T One X
- This procedure will wipe all your apps, data and settings (but it will NOT touch your SD cards, so don't worry about those). Backup your Apps and important data — bookmarks, contacts, SMS, APNs (internet settings), etc. This Android backup guide would help you.
Important! Don't forget to at least make a backup of your APN settings, which you can restore later if your data connection does not work after installing the ROM. Use the backup guide to find out how.
- Unlock the bootloader on your AT&T One X by following the guide → here. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe everything from your phone, including the data on your SD card, so backup everything before unlocking bootloader. This will also void your warranty.
- Install TWRP recovery on your device by following the guide → here.
- Download the latest version of the ROM from the official development page.
- Download the Google Apps package. This will install apps like Market, Gmail, etc. which are not present in the ROM by default.
Download Link | Filename: gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
- Copy the 2 .zip files downloaded in steps 4 and 5 to the internal SD card on the phone (do not extract them).
- Switch off the phone. Boot into the bootloader mode first by holding the Volume Down button while powering on the phone. Then, using the volume buttons, highlight RECOVERY then select it using the power button to boot into TWRP recovery.
- Tap Wipe, then tap Factory Reset, then slide the blue circle at the bottom to the right to confirm data wipe. After data wipe is complete, tap on the home icon at the bottom left of the screen to go back to the main recovery menu.
- Select Install, then scroll to the ROM's file on the SD card and select it. Confirm installation by sliding the blue circle.
- After installation of the ROM is complete, go back to the main recovery menu. Then, select Wipe, then select Cache/Dalvik, followed by sliding the blue circle to confirm cache wipe. Then, go back to the main recovery menu.
- Then, again tap Install, then select the gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip file to install the Google Apps package.
- After installation is complete, select Reboot system option to reboot the phone and boot up into AOKP. The first boot will take up to 5 minutes.
Important! Enabling LTE data connection if it does not work:
The first version of the ROM does not contain the APN settings for the LTE data connection. So, in order to make the LTE data connection work, do the following:
- Goto Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names, click menu, then click New APN.
- Then, enter the following settings and save the new APN:
- Name: ATT PTA
- APN: pta
- MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
- MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
- MMS port: 80
- Auth: none
- APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri
AOKP Build 40 is now up and running on your AT&T One X. Visit the official development page for more information and to get the latest updates on the ROM. Share your thoughts on the ROM in the comments below.

"The way you think about building software tends to have a broader perspective than a developer who was writing a piece of code that was used for a single-use case in the context of an individual company," said Gruber, whose company offers consulting services for enterprises looking to adopt open-source software.
Enterprise adoption of open-source software means that working on such projects is no longer the domain of hobbyists who code in their free time. For many developers, their day job involves working on open-source programs.
"Many organizations are highly dependent on open source and have their employees engage with the open-source community and contribute fixes and report bugs for the open-source software that they're using," said Gruber.
Zemlin already sees open source becoming the primary form of software development and predicts this trend will increase. Open-source code will comprise 80 percent of an enterprise software stack, he said, and the remaining resources will go to customizing the software for a particularly industry or product.
Another plus to open-source participation: the opportunity to develop skills and acquire experience that can be used to break into a hot area of IT. Developers who want a job in data science but lack the appropriate background could become involved with an open-source project connected to big data. Their code contributions and comments from peers on their work could be used to close the skills gap.
"You put that on your resume and you say, 'Look, I know I haven't worked in this area, but I'm a member of this community and this is what they say,'" said Graham.
Programmers interested in getting involved with open source should find a project that intrigues them -- even if they lack experience in it -- and find an open-source angle, said Graham.
"You're probably going to do it on your free time," he said. "You want to be interested in it. It shouldn't be a second job."
All open-source projects need contributors, but developers who join communities should not expect to instantly take on key development roles. This is especially true in popular projects or selective communities like the Eclipse Foundation and the Apache Foundation where the mass of contributions makes standing out a challenge, said Graham.
"Generally, any open-source project -- even if it is something of the scale of the Linux kernel -- needs help," he said. "It doesn't mean you're going to own the next version of the Linux kernel two weeks after you show up. But you can contribute fixes, clarification to the documentation. Any community appreciates that."
Developers should instead focus on how they engage with and contribute to a community, which outweigh the type of projects they select. Contributions are especially important and each holds different value to hiring managers. Filing bug submissions and asking or answering a question in an open-source forum serve as good starting points. The next and preferred level of involvement entails submitting code that adds features to the software and improves the program.
"Anyone who has a project out there, especially one that utilizes a piece of our open-source software in a meaningful way, we're going to be very impressed with how candidates present that," said Nagro of HubSpot, which posts projects to Github and uses the repository as a recruiting tool.
Developers looking to work on open-source projects shouldn't sacrifice quality and commitment for quantity. While more involvement is preferred, mediocre contributions and short-lived commitments don't impress hiring managers.

It hasn't been a pretty week for financial news, with the main theme being trouble – both at home and abroad. With the ongoing automotive industry problems, which have spread out from Toyota, to the unsettling European economy and the cloudy forecasts for the U.S.'s recovery, it's been tough to find some financial sunshine. (Recovering from an economic slump isn't the easiest thing to do, but here are a few potential methods of rebuilding. Find out more in Profiting From A Consumerless Recovery.)
- Car Troubles
Last week, auto news was focused on Toyota's safety recalls, but that is now spreading throughout the automotive world. Akio Toyoda, the usually media-shy head of Toyota, traveled to the United States to apologize for, and take ownership of, Toyota's recent safety shortcomings. Stocks had a slight bounce-back, but it still remains to be seen as to whether Toyoda's apology will regain the confidence of the car-buying public. Toyota is no longer alone in the recent recalls, as fellow Japanese car makers Suzuki and Nissan also recalled vehicles this week – though not nearly at the level of Toyota. Suzuki saw the majority, recalling nearly 500,000 cars.
In North American auto news, GM's deal to sell Hummer to China's Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery fell through, after it failed to gain Chinese regulators' approval. GM is now looking at other options, but this might mean the end of these monster SUVs. (These two major ways to obtain a car have very different advantages and drawbacks. Find out which is best for you, in New Wheels: Lease Or Buy?)
- Troubles Abroad
If there's something we've learned this week, it's that misery loves company – and things are no different in the eurozone. Ireland, Spain and Portugal have emerged as countries that match Greece in terms of debt troubles. The European Union has instituted spending freezes in these struggling countries, but critics claim that freezing stimulus spending might do more harm than good. To completely remove the hope of immediate aid, the European Commission announced that rumors of a 20-25 billion euro bailout for Greece have been grossly exaggerated. As of Friday, the EU was urging Greece to adopt new measures that would help its deficit – France and Germany are still looking for a bigger commitment from Greece before they fully endorse the EU's support for the country.
Back at home, Goldman Sachs will be facing Fed scrutiny over derivative arrangements that were made with Greece – and how these derivatives may have added to Greece's financial woes. There is also talk of some ratings agencies considering downgrading Greece's debt, which certainly won't help. Also in the U.S., a number of hedge fund managers got together to make some huge plays on the falling euro. Soros and company are leveraging up to 20 times in order to get the most out of this European catastrophe. Leveraging works both ways, however, and if it turns to losses, they'll be magnified as well.
Troubles at Home
The economic crisis in Europe has spread to North America, and the markets were down thanks to a troubled-economy cocktail. U.S. jobless claims being at a three-month low were no small ingredient in this cocktail, and brought about more worry about the U.S.'s hopefully impending recovery from this recession. Adding to this worry was the announcement that new-home sales fell to a record low. These two downers combined to sink U.S.'s consumer confidence, meaning there will still be a while before a full recovery is in the cards. There was a tiny glimmer of hope, however, as home prices continued to fall… but more slowly!
Obama's focus on healthcare and insurance will certainly have ramifications for the financial markets, especially his announcement that he would like for the government to have the power to block insurance rate hikes. After accusing the big insurance companies of caring less about healthcare than they do about profits, Obama opined that it would be a good idea for insurance companies to justify the rate hikes, so that there will be a way to keep health insurance costs lower. The healthcare summit was on Thursday, and it's no surprise that it didn't lead to some sort of reconciliation and agreement between the Democrats and Republicans. We'll have to wait and see what this means for the healthcare industry.
- Some Good News?
On the brighter side of financial news this week, if you can call it that, AIG is still bleeding money, but less than last year. The insurance giant hasn't fully healed its financial wound, but with losses in its fourth quarter down more than $53 billion, things seem to be on the mend. Amid the turmoil in the European airline industry, with Lufthansa's four-day pilot strike and British Airways impending cabin crew strike, U.S. airlines showed an increase in revenue for January. This reverses 14 months of decline, which must mean something positive for consumers and the economy, right? (From coins to credit, find out how the earliest system of money management started, in The Evolution Of Banking.)
- Batman Beats Superman
Though consumer confidence is down, there are still a few of them out there that are feeling downright frivolous. This week saw two record-breaking comic sales, one on Monday and another on Thursday. Monday's auction had the 1938 comic that first featured Superman sell for $1 million, breaking the record. Not to be outdone by his tights-wearing counterpart, the 1939 debut of Batman sold three days later for $1,075,500, setting a new record. (Profit margins are slim, but that needn't deter those with a passion for eras past. Find out more in Contemplating Collectible Investments.)
This week was fraught with market turmoil, and it is probably just the beginning for the Europe crisis and health insurance, and the effects these things will have on the markets. There were a few glimmers of hope, but for the most part it looks like the financial world is in for a bumpy ride in the weeks ahead.

Putin: Nuclear cooperation with Iran to continue, but international control needed
Russia will continue its nuclear cooperation with Iran but will insist that its nuclear programs come under international control, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday. "Iran is our neighbour, we cooperate with it and we will continue to to cooperate," he said at a Group of Eight (G8) summit in France.
"In parallel we will insist that all Iran's nuclear programs remain under the control of the IAEA," the UN's nuclear watchdog, the Russian leader added.
Earlier, a British newspaper said Putin suspended the sale of all nuclear material to Iran in a move to allow the world's eight most powerful nations to present a united front against the spread of nuclear weapons.
According to The Independent, Putin's announcement cleared the way for the G8 summit in Evian to issue a public warning to Iran and North Korea.
One British official was quoted as saying: "It is now the international consensus that the issue of weapons of mass destruction did not disappear with Saddam Hussein."
Iran has been told it must immediately open its nuclear program to "comprehensive examination" by the International Atomic Energy Agency. (Albawaba.com)

In Monster Nation, the second book in David Wellington's "Monster" trilogy, we go back, to the beginning of the zombie apocalypse that's a foregone conclusion in Monster Island. The book opens with an attack in California, then switches to strange happenings high in the mountains of Colorado, both events that any undead aficionado will quickly realize are the first pieces of a zombie puzzle. Before long we're witnessing the slow fall of the Florence ADX (aka Supermax) prison to the newly vigorous dead and things really get rolling.
Review: Monster Nation
An interview with George A. Romero
George A. Romero. The father of the modern zombie. Arguably the most influential filmmaker in the horror genre. Legend. Icon.
And, as it turns out, a pretty nice guy.
When I first launched this site, one of the biggest things I hoped it would eventually lead to was a chance to talk to George A. Romero (my very first post was a happy birthday message to him!). This past weekend, it did and I got 20 minutes with the man himself. It wasn't long, certainly, but it was still pretty fucking great. We talked about The Walking Dead, video games, what he's working on and lots more. I'm sure I don't have to sell you on reading this — if you're reading this site, you love zombies. If you love zombies, you're going to want to read this. So onward…
Zombie Movie Marathon 5: Five things we've learned so far
Yesterday marked the halfway point of the fifth annual Zombie Movie Marathon Month, so it seemed like a good time to check in. For those of you who haven't been reading since last time, ZMMM is my annual month-long zombie-a-day film fest: one zombie movie a day, every day, for an entire month. For those who have been reading a while, you may be wondering why the hell this is happening now, rather than in June as it has in years past. My reasons are twofold:
1) My wife has long petitioned for me to move the marathon to a fall/winter month, arguing (rightly) that we have too much going on in summer — camping, travel, friends visiting — to give up time every day in June to watch a zombie movie. This might have been reason enough but then something came along to seal the deal…
2) We had a baby May 29, two days before I would have ostensibly started the marathon. Let me tell you, having a newborn in the house makes it pretty hard to get something like this done. It's been hard enough now, and she's almost five month old! Bottom line is, June was out, so October is in! And let's face it, October is a more fitting month anyway.
Okay, on to this year!
Review: Zombie costume
Halloween is almost here — not to mention the countless zombie crawls and related events October brings — which means it's time to start thinking about a costume. Actually, who am I kidding? It's long past time to start thinking about a costume, but most readers of this site have it easy: you're going as a zombie, duh!
That said, as a hardcore fan, you probably want a hardcore costume. That means piecing together lots of little props, carefully aging your clothes into a suitably shitty state and practicing your zombie makeup day in and day out. Elaborate stuff. If, like me, you aren't well on your way to having your elaborate zombie costume created, it's probably time to think about going off the rack.
The people of HalloweenCostumes.com contacted me a while back about their off-the-rack zombie costume and asked if I wanted to give it a review. Considering I've reviewed everything from zombie films to zombie energy drinks, naturally I said yes. A few days later, I had their stock zombie outfit in my hands. Here's how it shakes out.
Review: Patient Zero
Zombies. Terrorists. Super-secret spy agencies. ACTION.
In Patient Zero, Jonathan Maberry has found a crossover so obvious, and so perfect, it is astounding it hasn't already been done to death: the zombie apocalypse techno-thriller. Take one part pulpy grocery-store bestseller about the world's most high-tech spies facing off against the world's most desperate terrorists. Add an equal amount of classic zombie apocalypse scenario. Stir well, garnish with a Bond-worthy supervillain, and voilà! Patient Zero.
Review: REC 3: Genesis
The third film in the REC series has arrived, and with it arrive some changes. The first film inverted the paradigm of Night of the Living Dead, trapping survivors in a building with zombies. REC 2 turned the dials to 11, injecting a first-person shooter angle into the cinéma vérité mix and upping the adrenaline levels (think of REC as Alien and REC 2 as Aliens and you'll have a good idea of what to expect.) Now REC 3: Genesis adds something else entirely unexpected: humor. Even weirder is that it works surprisingly well. (The rest of this review will contain the occasional spoiler for the first two films, so if you haven't seen them and are spoiler averse, stop here).
Fashion Zombie: End of the Road
This week's fashion zombie entry is something of a callback to one of my favorite zombie t-shirts of all time. It's by the same artist (Aled Lewis), same company (Threadless) and it essentially illustrates the same scenario: our hero facing off the amassed undead from a tactically sound yet strategically doomed vantage point. What's not to love? It could be called derivative of its forerunner, but I say that's bullshit. There's nothing wrong with an artist revisiting a theme over and over again if the theme is cool enough, and this one is plenty cool. This one will set you back $20 from Threadless, which is a mite steep, but I will say that I still have every Threadless shirt I have ever purchased and they are still in great shape, so you do kind of get what you pay for. If you are the patient type, you could also wait for one of their intermittent sales, which often see their fine torso coverings selling for as little as $10.

Fashion Zombie: YOLT
Apparently the neologism YOLO is all the rage among the kids. An acronym of "You only live once," YOLO is typically called upon to justify some stupid, rash, and occasionally lethal decision—like, say, teasing a zombie. If that were to happen, the result would be what you see above: You only live twice, even if the second time around it's as some ghoulish, flesh-hungry, animated corpse. In other words, it's just what everyone needs: a zombie-themed lampooning of the idiotic youth trend of the moment. Huzzah! This shirt will set you back $20 at Snorg Tees, which is a little steep in my opinion, but hey, YOLO, right?

Fashion Zombie: The Walken Dead
This week's Fashion Zombie turns the spotlight on the Walken Dead. Is that a joke so obvious even your not-clever friend thought it up by the third episode of season 2 of The Walking Dead? It is. Is it a one-note, essentially dumb joke? It is. Does that mean it is any less sweet of a t-shirt? It does not. So enjoy your Walken Dead t-shirt and joke, for the reasonable price of $14.99 from TShirtBordello.com, or at least buy it for that friend of yours that just thinks it's the funniest fucking thing he's ever heard so maybe he will finally shut up about it.

Questions of the Dead: Why do zombies wear such shitty clothes?
You've got zombie questions? We've got zombie answers! Ask us anything about the living dead and we'll do our best to give you the best answer no money can buy. In our inaugural edition, we answer a question from Twitter user @MaryKoCo: "Why do zombies have such shitty clothes?! You JUST died; how'd you mess up your shirt that bad?"
Excellent question, @MaryKoCo! The short answer is, they don't, necessarily. Have a look at this dapper motherfucker:
Not too shabby, right? A little dusty, perhaps, but looking good in that suit. That's the first zombie from Night of the Living Dead, the first of the modern zombie films. So, you see, plenty of zombie don't look bad at all. But you have to consider that fashion means nothing to zombies. They don't change their clothes; they make no effort to stop viscera and gore from messing up their pants. In other words, the undead lifestyle is really hard on your clothes. You can go from fashion plate to total mess in no time flat.
Also, a lot of zombie film directors are lazy, worthless, uncreative fucks, and they don't pay any attention at all to things like "how long has this dude been dead, and what state of decay should his clothes be in?" and so they ruin it for everyone else. Nice work, you dickbags.
Got a question about zombies? We want to answer it! Tweet it at us on Twitter, ask us via Facebook, or even just leave your question in a comment and we'll answer it as soon as we can.

Dr. Laura Apologizes For Comments on Homosexuality
July 7, 2008 - 8:02 PM
(CNSNews.com) - In a move designed to quiet homosexual activists who have criticized her new television show, Dr. Laura Schlessinger released a statement Friday saying that she never intended "to hurt anyone or contribute in any way to an atmosphere of hate or intolerance" with her comments on homosexuality.
"Regrettably, some of the words I've used have hurt some people, and I am sorry for that," said the popular radio talk show host. "Words that I have used in a clinical context have been perceived as judgement. They were not meant to characterize homosexual individuals or encourage others to disparage homosexuals."
Last month, Schlessinger and Paramount met with members of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) in what was seen as an effort by the homosexual rights group to silence Schlesinger's favorable comments on reparative therapy as a way for homosexuals who want to change their homosexual lifestyle to do so.
At the time, a spokesperson for Schlessinger said the talk show host "held her ground absolutely" and will have control on what expert opinion is heard on the show regarding homosexuality.
GLAAD released a statement Sunday, saying that "an apology without a fundamental change in behavior is meaningless. If Schlessinger is sincere in her apology to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, then it must be accompanied by a change in her actions."
The group pledged to "continue to monitor" Schlessinger's show, and praised Paramount's "shared commitment to present society's issues without creating or contributing to an environment of hurt, hate or intolerance."
Paramount released a statement Monday that reiterated their commitment to Dr. Laura's show, which they described as a "discussion of our society's moral and ethical issues in an environment free from hate, intolerance or the censorship of speech and ideas."
"We are committed to the production of Dr. Laura's upcoming television show," said Paramount, "which is planned to include multiple points of view, derived from a variety of sources, guests and a studio audience."

I'll take them all but the one in New York!
I have ocean, mountain and city views from my home. In truth, the ocean gets a bit boring; I really like my mountain views the best, but the city's not bad.
Love all of the views above.
#3 seems too boring to me, but the others are absolutely lovely.
I totally agree. My view makes me 12m2 "studio" bearable :)

Fall Trend: Fur Grows Everywhere
Miuccia Prada even made a fur ... hip wrapper?

Miuccia Prada even made a fur ... hip wrapper?
Some you wear in an office. Others seem intended for a very stylish tree-chopping party.
This is not a season about sweetness and light, let's just say that.
See her talk about not wanting the Jews around in video footage from 1963.
The industry worries fashion careers increase the likelihood of alcoholism or drug addiction.
Also, more reason to take the fervent rumors on the matter down a notch.
Christian Dior is yet to confirm anything.
We've compiled the reactions of some of the most influential people who have responded to the designer's scandal on the record.
Haider Ackermann, Riccardo Tisci, and Alber Elbaz are said to be in the running — but none will say so.
Dior CEO said so at the John Galliano show — which could be the designer's last — in Paris yesterday.
Plus Nina Ricci, Rick Owens, A.F. Vandevorst, and more.
The fashion crowd is at once mournful and optimistic about the storied brand's future.
Leave it to Europe to treat it like a sporting event.
It remains unclear if Galliano will appear at his namesake show.
"You cannot go in the street and be drunk — there are things you cannot do," he says.
He has supposedly gone to the Meadows treatment facility in Arizona, Menkes writes.
Editors are looking for an excuse for the star's troubling behavior — and grappling with knowing that they might not find one.
He is said to have enlisted the same lawyer who defended Kate Moss during her 2005 cocaine scandal to fight for his job at Dior.
Meanwhile, rumors are swirling about his dismissal from Dior.
The label announced this morning that Galliano has been dismissed, effective immediately.

In the media firestorm following GQ's Jason Zengerle first posting the Rand Paul "Aqua Buddha" story in early August, he told me that a college prank anecdote related by a former Baylor University classmate of Rand Paul was being blown out of proportion. Yet, Zengerle also said he was surprised that the core of his story was not getting much attention, that Paul' had Paul belonged to a secret society that mocked religion:
Sort of a cross between Yale's Skull & Bones and Harvard's Lampoon, the NoZe existed to torment the Baylor administration, which it accomplished through pranks and its satirical newspaper The Rope. The group especially enjoyed tweaking the school's religiosity. "We aspired to blasphemy," says John Green, another of Paul's former NoZe Brothers.
Zengerle was convinced at the time that the most damaging facet of the Aqua Buddha story for conservative Christian Kentucky was that Paul and a classmate instructed a pranked classmate to worship a false idol, the "Aqua Buddha."
Now, Politico's Ben Smith and Democratic candidate Jack Conway are both resurrecting the story, both emphasizing what Zengerle thought was key.
The NoZe Brotherhood, as the group was called, was formally banned by Baylor two years before Paul arrived on the grounds of "sacrilege," the university president said at the time. "They had 'made fun of not only the Baptist religion, but Christianity and Christ,' " President Herbert Reynolds told the student newspaper, The Lariat. -- Politico
A new Conway campaign commercial picks it up from there:
ANNOUNCER: Why was Rand Paul a member of a secret society that called
the Holy Bible "a hoax", that was banned for mocking Christianity and
ANNOUNCER: Why did Rand Paul once tie a woman up, tell her to bow down
before a false idol, and say his god was 'Aqua Buddha'?
ANNOUNCER: Why does Rand Paul now want to end all federal faith-based
initiatives and even end the deduction for religious charities?
ANNOUNCER: Why are there so many questions about Rand Paul?
"Values matter," said Conway spokeswoman Allison Haley in a statement, "Rand Paul chose to join a secret society the University had banned for being 'grossly sacrilegious.' And tying up a woman, no matter what the reason, is nothing to laugh
at. Rand Paul doesn't share Kentucky values."
The Paul campaign issued a statement on Saturday:
Today, Jack Conway stepped way over the line and released a shameful and despicable ad that questions Dr. Paul's Christian faith. Dr. Paul and Jack Conway may disagree on many issues and the best direction for our country, but personal attacks on Rand's faith are way out of bounds.
Rather than address the pressing issues of our time, Jack Conway is shamelessly doing what so many desperate politicians do at the last minute - resorting to revolting personal smears.
"I am a pro-life Christian, and I have never written or spoken anything that would indicate otherwise," said Dr. Paul.
Kentuckians are sick of gutter politics, and Conway should be ashamed. A candidate who would use such a despicable and desperate attack clearly doesn't understand the values of the people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

How much Visioning is Necessary in Scrum?
Discover how much work is necessary in Scrum to envision the product and start the first sprint.Read More
The vision plays an important role in bringing a new product to life: It acts as the overarching goal guiding everyone involved in the development effort. Equally important is the product strategy, the path chosen to attain the vision. Without a shared vision and strategy, people are likely to pull in different directions, and the chances of creating a great product are rather slim. While vision and strategy are key, describing them can be challenging. This post introduces the Vision Board, a tool that makes it easy to capture your vision and product strategy.Read More

All eyes are on Sandy Creek this week.
Defensive end Lacy Coleman committed to Louisville on Thursday. Sandy Creek's highest-profile remaining prospect, running back prospect Rajion Neal, is considering Mississippi State, Southern Miss and Tulane, among others. Reporters are on stand-by awaiting his commitment news, though no date has been specified.
"He's looked at several other places and probably will commit before the beginning of the season," Sandy Creek coach Chip Walker said.
Wide receiver Jarrett Davis, who also has looked at Louisville, Tulane and several MAC schools "might not be far from committing," Walker said.
One of their newest teammates is starting to get some attention, too. Cedric Byrd, a 5-foot-10, 165-pound safety who has transferred from Clarke Central, is getting some interest. While confessing to "really keeping my options open," Byrd has paid special attention to the SEC and ACC interest in him. Among those schools, he likes Auburn, South Carolina, Clemson and Florida State.
Byrd, who earned all-region honors while playing in Region 8-AAAA, e-mailed that he's "ready to play against top competition and I think that I am able to if given the chance."
He had 62 tackles, five interceptions, nine pass breakups and a fumble recovery last season for Clarke Central. Byrd was expected to attend a one-day camp at Alabama-Birmingham on Saturday.

Rajion Neal is an oustanding RB who is flying under the radar. He has been to all the top camps and out performed the top backs like the Mack Browns,and Marcus Lattimores. This kid has a hell of a work ethic and is going to have a monster year. Great hands, look for him to have a big year catching the ball to.

No offense to Mr. Neal, but Isaiah Johnson (GT commit; offers from UGA, Ole Miss, NC State, etc.) is the highest profile recruit at Sandy Creek.

Neal has been looked over cause of his stats that didnt jump out at you. But the kid is very talented and didnt get used in the passing game. There is not one LB that can play him one on one and very view DBs can either. Keep an eye out for this kid he's going to make believers out of those people that's over looking his talent. Some of the BCS schools are going to hate they did't give this kid a chance when he's standing across the field chewing up yardage on the ground and in the passing game.

Mike Spaulding FB/LB at Sandy Creek High is being over-looked by many of the top colleges. This kid will take on any position that his coaches ask him to and performs at a high level at every position. He has been a starting Linebacker since his Freshmen year. He was asked to help the team this year by playing Fullback and Longsnapping in addition to special team play. He went to most of the camps in the SE and out-performed most of the kids that are now getting the interest from colleges. This kid puts in the work and is a beast at whatever he is asked to do. All I know is some major college is going to get an outstanding athelete when they sign him, so recruitors may need to wake up before you miss out.
September 29th, 2009
12:12 pm
Dear 5566snake, you have hit it on the head about Michael Spaulding. I have watched the kid play football and baseball since he played in the parks at the rec level. He has been either the best or next to the best on every team he played on. I coached him in the park. He is still the same beast on the field that I coached. He's fast, strong, and just nasty. I wish Sandy Creek would play him more at fullback, but I guess they don't want to over-use him because thay have to have him on defense the most. I saw him play both ways and the kid doesn't get tired. He's an athelete. I would love to see him at fullback more. Some school will be real lucky to get him. I don't know what Sandy Creek would do without him. The defense, offense, kick off team, punt return team, punt team, and field goal team would all suffer. As 5566snake said RECRUITORS WAKE UP!!!! Don't beleive all the hype on alot of the kids out there on these different sites, seeing is beleiving. Michael Spaulding is real and not just hype
